New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg suggested on a radio show that cash-strapped New York may have to cut off lunch to high school students whose parents are debt for past lunches. He said parents stiffed the schools out of $7 million in lunch fees last year.
" 'It may be we get to that. The first thing is let's try to get the parents to pay,' Bloomberg said on his weekly radio show." …
"Bloomberg said he wants to give the parents a chance to make good before calling on bill collectors."
" 'We want to keep this between the families and the schools and we don't want to use collection agencies,' the mayor said."
A lot of teachers on our blog complain about kids being on free or reduced lunches when they don't seem to need to be but what happens to kids that don't show up with money? Our school stamps their little hands to remind you to put money in their accounts and will spot them a cheese sandwich if you don't bring in money. But for how long I'm not sure.
What happens at your school if a kid never brings in lunch money – will they keep feeding them? Also what if they owe money? What will happen?
Do you think the schools should cut off the older kids? The younger kids? Should bill collectors be called in? Should they help those families get on free or reduced lunch if their kid never has lunch money?

No idea what happens if no money exists in the account at school. When the balance gets low, we are sent a reminder by email and there is also a "hard copy" sent home. We then just either send a check with the kid or pay it online (usually a check as the school systems charges a fee for online payment).

The school lunch program was orginally begun because when young men went to sign-up for the military after high school they were found to have all sorts of issues linked to mal-nutrition (sp?)…… so when they don't pay, let the military pay, and then demand two years of service out of the kid…. kidding, kidding!!!
I really think that once they come in so many times without any money, a well placed, non-robo call from the district might do more good then sending out the debt collecters. Or if the kid comes too many times w/o money a well placed call to DFACS may be in order (does mom or child have nicely done nails, hair, braids, car, clothes??) as some families have their priorities mixed up!

At the middle and high school my boys attend…there is no charging of lunches. If there is no money in your account/hand, you don't eat. Come to think of it, elementary was that way the last couple of years also.
This is a tough one. I hate to think of kids going without food but at the same time parents need to step up and take care of their children.
I wonder if the system has fostered this situation after years of allowing the "free and reduced" lunch system to be abused and then allowing excessive charges. It seems many parents now feel it is not their problem and the school is responsible for feeding Junior (the whole entitlement mentality). I also know of families with plenty of money that NEVER pay for field trips either because they know Junior will be allowed to attend anyway. Of course, Junior is attending on the dime of the parents who actually pay. —– I'm tired of paying for others.

My kid's school still feeds the kids if they are in the red on their school lunch balance…..the kicker is that they let us know that our debts are on the principle of his school, so if we don't pay, she's on the hook for it.
February 14th, 2011
3:38 pm
I'm pretty sure if a kid shows up and there's no money in the lunch account and he/she has no money that they feed them anyway where my oldest is attending this year. I think if a child has no money for lunch and isn't a "free lunch" kid, then a note to the home should be sent that day AND a call from an administrator needs to be made that day. Both methods of contact need to reference a rule (that should be made, entered in the handbook and enforced) in the student handbook for the school district stating that children who either do not qualify for free lunch or do not have money in their accounts or on their person will be fed for free one day and the parent(s) notified. After that if the child again shows up empty-handed, then they will be fed lunch, but DFACS will be notified. There is a freaking FREE LUNCH program out there, and if the parents are too sorry and lazy to apply for it -then they don't deserve any breaks. If they don't want DFACS nosing around their house, then they need to stay on top of things -like feeding their children! If they can't get it together to apply for free lunch or send lunch money, especially after a phone and letter warning, then it may be a really good idea for DFACS to check things out at that house.
If the family qualifies for free or reduced lunch -then they should get on it. How pathetic if they've ignored all the registration materials pushed in their faces since they registered the kid for school, but maybe a DFACS visit would get their lazy butts to fill out the paperwork. If they don't qualify, and they're just idiots, then they should be called immediately upon the discovery of no lunch money, and be made to come pick up their child or bring the child lunch. The rest of us shouldn't be picking up the tab.
As far as bill collectors -NYC needs to closely examine how effective they think that would be and how much they think they would regain as opposed to how much hiring and paying these bill collectors is going to cost.

@JATL: At some schools, the administrator making those phone calls would be on the phone all afternoon . . .
February 14th, 2011
3:58 pm
@DB -oh well! Most schools have a number of vice principals, so they could take turns and use the school secretary too if need be. If we don't do something, these parasitic parents continue and it never ends. I have a feeling if DFACS started showing up the 2nd time this happened or the parents were forced to come pick up their child or bring them lunch, they may not be spending too many afternoons on the phone.

I listen to the Opie & Anthony show on XM/Sirius regularly, broadcast from New York, and they bring to attention a lot how Bloomberg & New York City are attempting to tax the sh*t out of New Yorkers.
(Health-food laws, down town issues, much more).
Bloomberg stinks, and I wouldn't use New York City's case as a credible example of enacting such policies.
Coming from a more sane area/town/city, maybe.
Glad I don't live there!!

Our system found when they started giving overdue students PB&J sandwhiches and a piece of fruit that the parents, almost without a single exception, paid off. They did it for a year. Now they have quit that, and by November we were $17,000 in the hole. I don't think you have to refuse to feed the kids; just give them a cheese or PB sandwich, and watch the kids "collect" for you. Children can be more persuasive than bill collectors, and much cheaper!
There is NO EXCUSE, with FRPL and the extreme ease of applying and receiving, that there be ANY money owed. Parents can just do the right thing, or let their kids have the same lunch every day until they can afford to provide for their child.
I also think until the lunch money is paid, all purchases from the school snack store should be redirected to pay the overdue money. I am SURE it would get taken care of very quickly. About half our free lunch kids have money just about every day for a treat.
One more thing: Our school lunches are very cheap–$1.75. The lunch program was audited and has been told we have to increase the paid lunch prices a great deal–to the rate the federal government pays for free lunch–over $2.50 per day. Right now the free lunch kids (or the taxpayers) are supporting the paying lunch students.
February 14th, 2011
4:52 pm
Oh, I wouldn't count on DFACs. It is nearly impossible to get them to do anything for the very most serious problems–I don't think "lack of lunch money" would be on their radar. Our lunch program sends written reminders, but they are largely ignored. Like I say, PB&J for a week or two works wonders, especially when the child watches his classmates chowing down. Problem, largely, taken care of.
February 14th, 2011
4:52 pm
People's sense of entitlement just never ceases to amaze me. They truly do not care that someone somewhere along the line has to pick up the tab. Good luck to NYC on collecting from deadbeats that don't relaize their responsibility to feed their own children. America's welfare system has helped create this huge financial drain. People truly do appreciate something more if they have to work to get it. Socialism stinks, in case Obama has not noticed.
February 14th, 2011
4:52 pm
I understand giving kids something in elementary & maybe even MS (sandwich, banana and a milk) but if they have more than 2 charged lunches on file, they shouldn't get anything more and definitely nothing in HS. Half of them are probably using the money in the vending machines all the while knowing that no one is ever going to make their parents pay.
We weren't allowed to charge in HS. MS & Elementary you could charge 1 day but no more. If you forgot money again then you just bummed off friends and ate what they didn't want.
Most school systems have automated phone systems and email systems so no one would have to sit around and call. Just like many of us get calls when our kid is absent from school, they should get a call when a lunch is charged warning that no more lunches can be charged until their account it current.
February 14th, 2011

But notice NYC is looking at high school students' lunches.
Georgia needs to have uniform rules, and taxpayer money needs to be conserved!
February 14th, 2011
6:49 pm
At my school the children can charge twice, after that they get a cheese sandwich and milk. You'd be surprised at how quickly that money comes in when the children go home and fuss at mom and dad about not sending lunch money. They hate the cheese sandwich and milk (no choice on drink when they owe money) but it's not like they're going to starve that day.
February 14th, 2011
6:51 pm
Techmom…we got a call from our kid's HS last month on the automated thing…neither of my kids are in HS. It caught me by surprise!
Field trips…that one hits home for me. When mine were in school, I sent in $5 if they needed $3…to cover those who did not pay. Entitlement mentality is that every child attends…even if they do not pay. Some schools have cut my visits from the program since so many kids are not paying:
$1….hello? Oh well, I have picked up new folks in other areas.
February 14th, 2011
7:04 pm
Seven Million? My word, that's a crazy amount. I don't know enough to weigh in on this but I have several thoughts. My parents had no extra money and I paid for my own lunch or brought something out of the cupboard. HOt lunch is EXPENSIVE… food from home usually much cheaper. I used my babysitting money… and I had a job in a dunkin donuts at 15 and used that cash for needs. This leads me to… if a HIGH SCHOOL student doesn't get money from mom/dad then they are old enough to know to use their own money. They are old enough to know that not paying is exactly that: NOT PAYING! So, in some sense, it is probably the kids who "owe" the seven million. Again, we are talking about High School kids… KIDS that absolutely ought to have a part time job. My bet is that these kids dont want to pack the peanut butter and jelly from mom's cupboard and just keep taking the free hot lunch bc no one is saying "NO" to them.
My next thought is about the parents.. HOW do you not give your kids money for lunch? I hope I am right in assuming that these parents are expecting their kids to take food from home. (If a parent is so poor that they cannot manage even this, then we do have legitimate food programs they can apply for.)
I think I will read up on this… it piques my interest and I want to know more.
February 14th, 2011
7:25 pm
My highschooler knows that all he has to do is TELL me that he needs money on his account. He always has cash to cover when he forgets. The deal is you forget to tell me…you pay if you want to eat ( your allowance, chore money) and no paybacks from mom. I consider it the "late charge" on your account.
Feeding children is up to the parents. Maybe the school system should get out of the business of feeding kids. Eat breakfast at home and a sandwich for lunch. That's what I get most days.
February 14th, 2011

Why was it necessary to call out 'braids' in the list of descriptors for families that have their priorities mixed up? I didn't see pageboys, blowouts, layered cuts, etc in the list.
Just sayin'…
February 14th, 2011
9:19 pm
TCH- I included braids on the list because I've heard my students saying they can cost as much as 200-300 dollars to get put in professionally. I've never heard of a layer cut costing much. Maybe in New York though….

marie…many of my kid's college peers do not have jobs…give it up on HS. Yes, my own kids have jobs. I worked at Wal Mart and paid for my own lunch in HS…not my parents. I made $2.25 per hour.
Lunch was less than a dollar back then. My parents had money but that was simply the way it was!
February 15th, 2011
8:23 am
Catlady, I like your approach! A peanut butter sandwich, piece of fresh fruit, and a carton of milk should be all that is served for someone who did not bring lunch money and is relatively inexpensive compared to covering a hot lunch. From what you described, it sounds as though it worked, but then was discontinued. Why was it discontinued? I'm curious.
February 15th, 2011
5:06 pm
Active Duty Mom: it was discontinued because it was "too much trouble" to separate out the kids who had not brought money. They would go through the line, take a hot lunch, and then get to the cashier to find that….they were not supposed to get the hot lunch. And they were not allowed to put the food back once the kid had touched it. (Apparently branding the kids was out of the question). I think it should be MADE to work. Give the teachers a list of the PBJ kids to be directed into another line unless they can show they have the $. Far better than these stupid charges that get "eaten" by the school systems. A few years ago it was about $100,000 by the end of the year! We don't have money for heating the hallways, but we can waste money on this? What are we teaching the kids? Why are we positively reinforcing the parents' sense of irresponsible behavior? As they found out in some big city, when they cut out allowing the "window washers"/panhandlers to inhabit the intersections, when you take care of small things, the bigger things frequently are solved as well.
And, &%$#@& it, it WORKED!

Go Go GDGT event!
October 30, 2011 Leave a comment
[Many thanks Jamileh for the awesome tweet that inspired the title!]
For the uninitiated, GDGT is a great website that is designed for folks to talk all about….wait for it… gadgets. It's kind of funny all of these websites that are removing the vowels: GDGT, TUMBLR, etc. My buddy Eric, over at Xbox, must have a sad about such things. In any event, folks who visit the GDGT website are greeting with information and discussion about all things technology.
GDGT has created a series of events. These free, public events allow the community to come out and check out some of the latest hardware and software from some of the leading manufacturers and companies like Microsoft, Lenovo, and Logitech. The GDGT event, finally, made its way to the Los Angeles area, taking place at the L.A. Live entertainment complex, GDGT took over the Nokia Club and presented some of the finest technology for hands-on and ears-open demonstration.
AT&T was doing this awesome promotion in which people could turn in old cell phone technology to be recycled. Looking at that table was like looking into a time machine. I could recognize the Blackjack II phone, which was the first phone I really gave a damn about. See that big phone towards the edge of the table. That's an old-school Nokia phone. My how times and designs have changed, huh?
As I walked the show floor needless to say there were a few technologies that seriously caught my eye. It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that two of them were audio related. One was the booth by Sonos. I just can't get enough of products that are sleek, sexy and sound great (hey, kinda like me!). The Sonos products sounded fantastic and while I'm sure they aren't exactly, wallet friendly, they definitely have the cool factor and I would consider having it in my house.
The other was Phiaton, which was showcasing their line of headphones. In a world where people are trying to call Beats by Dre the standard, the headphones presented by Phiaton made a great alternative. I know my community is all about the audio, so it's always great to see those who are really trying to make the sound come alive.
I got to see a TV that has many services built right into it: Pandora, Netflix, etc. Just plug in the TV, turn it on and you're connected. I'm thinking that this is where things are going. It won't be so much the devices that you connect to your TV (Xbox 360 included), as it will be the TV being able to natively connect to all of these online services so you won't have to clutter your entertainment center with multiple devices and wires.
Then there were these awesome iPhone cases based upon video games and comic book characters!
Then, of course, you had Windows Phone. The team from Microsoft came down to show off some of the latest (read: not yet released) hardware including the line of phones from AT&T (The Focus S, Focus Flash and Titan). Ladies and Gentlemen, I love to coin the HTC Titan as having an "IMAX screen in your pocket." Honestly, that phone has a huge fkn screen. Like scary huge. It's definitely a great phone to have if you're into video watching like YouTube or Netflix. Yet, I agree with some who are asking just how big is too big for a phone screen?
The Focus S and Focus Flash were definitely solid successors to the current Focus, available at AT&T. If I had to make a choice, I'd make a play for the Focus S. It just gives me more of what I love about my current Focus with a quicker processor, and all.
When the GDGT event was over, I trekked all of 45 seconds to the Conga Room, where the Windows Phone team was hosting the official GDGT After-Party. The place was popping as everyone was enjoying the booze, the music and the chance to get some up-and-close time with the newest Windows Phone devices. There was also some giveaways that included skateboard decks. Yes, you read that right. Specially-made skateboard decks were given out. Hell, I wanted to bring one of them home, they were so fkn cool.
For all that I had heard about GDGT events, it was great to finally be able to experience one first hand. All of the technologies presented were fascinating and I, as a tech enthusiast, can't wait to see how much more of the envelope gets pushed in the next few years. Based upon what I saw, just at the GDGT event alone, the vision of an always-connected world is upon us and bringing the thunder with it.

text: On Wednesday June 18th, 2014, NARAL-NC, in partnership with El Pueblo, Sister Song, and Youth Empowered Solutions (YES!), hosted their first Reproductive Justice Summit in North Carolina. The event title: "Dig In, Plant Progress" is a testament to what took place there. Geared primarily towards youth advocates and activists between the ages of 18 and 22, #RJSummitNC's goal was to emphasize the importance of approaching and practicing reproductive justice through multiple frameworks. Keynote speaker and executive director of SisterSong, Monica Simpson, opened up the event to amplify that point.

By Ward Churchill
"Covert Action" Summer 1985
"...joining the marine corps, he learned the tricks of his trade, to walk around quietly, and carry a hand grenade, so all you tourists who are south dakota bound, remember wild bill janklow just might turn you right around."--Jim Page 1979
William "Wild Bill" Janklow is the current governor of South Dakota. In 1955, at the age of 16, he was convicted of the sexual assault of a 17-year old woman. As a juvenile offense, this conviction carried little weight under U.S. law.
However, in 1966, while working as the tribal attorney for the Rosebud Sioux, Janklow--aged 27--was accused of raping his children's 15-year-old babysitter, Jancita Eagle Deer. Adult sexual offenses being more grave than this earlier recorded exploit, Janklow used his capacity as head of reservation legal services to stave off the (illegible) of formal, federal charges. He then resigned his position and left tribal jurisdiction.
Having progressed through the "mainstream" South Dakota legal system during the intervening seven years, Janklow achieved status as the state's Deputy Attorney General by the time of the 1973 American Indian Movement (AIM) occupation of Wounded Knee. Opting to run for Attorney General the following year, he undertook a campaign of hardline prosecutorial assault upon AIM members designed to win him the advantage of local headlines and support of South Dakota's virulently anti-Indian white citizenry.
AIM countered this offensive when organization member Douglass Durham discovered the old Rosebud rape files. AIM leader Dennis Banks secured the filing of charges and brought the case before tribal judge Mario Gonzales. Durham, meanwhile, had located Jancita Eagle Deer in Iowa, where she had resided since dropping out of high school shortly after the 1966 incident.
Durham was able to persuade Eagle Deer to return to the Rosebud in order to testify at the upcoming trial: Janklow refused to enter tribal jurisdiction either to stand trial or even to answer questions concerning the charges. Gonzales then issued a warrant for the arrest of the South Dakota Deputy Attorney General on charges of rape and obstruction of justice. Durham and Eagle Deer apparently became lovers; in any event she became his traveling companion. And, South Dakota being South Dakota, Janklow won his election by a landslide.
Janklow's Justice
In his new capacity as Attorney General, Janklow introduced his anti-AIM campaign, winning a good deal of federal approval for his efforts and focusing his most lethal attentions on Dennis Banks (who had showcased the rape charges), rather than on Douglass Durham (who had discovered and pushed them). Said Janklow, "The way to deal with Dennis Banks is with a bullet between the eyes."
Regardless of his political stance, Janklow was and is a trained attorney, possessed of the usual legalistic logic accompanying the profession of law. His omission of Durham from his personal "hitlist," particularly given Durham's close relationship with the only witness who could categorically link him to the act of rape, seemed odd at the time. It was soon to be less so.
During the January 1975 AIM takeover of the Alexian Brothers Abbey in Wisconsin, it came out that Durham was a paid ($1,000 a month, cash) FBI informant. Since 1973, based largely on his superior performance in sniffing out the information about Janklow and in locating Eagle Deer, he had been selected to serve as head of AIM security. In this capacity, he had been privy to many of the private defense team meetings during the so-called "Wounded Knee Trials" of Russell Means and Dennis Banks.
Although the AIM leadership was acquitted in the trials, it remains true that no effort has ever been made to bring the prosecutors or responsible FBI officials to court on what amounted to flagrant perjury and contempt of court, as well as obvious attempts at miscarriages of justice. Both the government lawyers and the FBI denied under oath to the trial judges they had infiltrated the defense team.
Meanwhile, Durham dropped out of sight, with Eagle Deer in tow. Her body turned up in a roadside ditch in Nebraska in March 1975. While the official Nebraska State Police account lists cause of death merely as "hit-and-run," even their autopsy report indicates she had been beaten sometime shortly before being run over. Douglass Durham was never questioned in the matter of his companion's death. Rather, he was called as the sole witness before the House of Representatives' Internal Security Committee' "investigation" of AIM during the summer of 1975 to provide evidence that "the American Indian Movement is a terrorist organization." From there, he went on a national speaking tour arranged by the John Birch Society and endorsed by William Janklow, who had decided to run for governor.
Freed of the spectre of Eagle Deer's possible testimony against him in court, Janklow proceeded to secure a conviction against Dennis Banks--before an all-white jury--on charges of "rioting" in the face of a police assault upon AIM in Custer, South Dakota in 1973. Faced with a prison sentence under Jankow, Banks went underground. When he surfaced again, it was in California where the circumstances surrounding his case were deemed enough to warrant Governor Jerry Brown's granting of a sanctuary from extradition to South Dakota. (See sidebar.)
In the meantime, Janklow was possibly repaying certain debts to his clandestine benefactors by utilizing a federal ploy to dispose of other AIM thorns in the government's flesh. Notably, this centered upon the utilization of one of the FBI's "all purpose witnesses," a clinically unbalanced Lakota woman named Myrtle Poor Bear.
The major gambit was to bring AIM leaders Richard Marshall and Russell Means to trial for the 1974 slaying of a Lakota named Robert Montileaux in a (illegible) Scenic, South Dakota. The feds provided Poor Bear to "identify" the assailants as Marshall and Means while Janklow's prosecutors duly built a case around her "eyewitness" testimony. When it came out in court that Montileaux himself had stated, shortly before dying, that his killers did not include Rissell Means, Means was acquitted. Marshall, on the other hand, is now serving a life sentence in a South Dakota state prison.
The "Eyewitness"
Poor Bear was also used as an "eyewitness" in the federal cases brought against Bob Robideau, Dino Butler, and Leonard Peltier, the AIM members accused of killing two FBI agents on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation in June of 1975. Robideau and Butler were tried first, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. They were acquitted, based upon general FBI misconduct in their case, including the fabrication of virtually all of Poor Bear's testimony (she turned out to have been 50 miles away at the time of the shootings, and never to have seen either of the slain FBI agents or any of the defendants).
Nonetheless, the FBI was able to utilize affidavits signed by Poor Bear (as an eyewitness to the deaths of its agents) in securing extradition of Leonard Peltier from Canada. The credibility of these affidavits was directly reinforced by the earlier showing of Poor Bear as a witness against Richard Marshall in South Dakota. Later it was revealed that the FBI held another affidavit signed by Poor Bear, not submitted to the Canadians, contradicting everything she said in the affidavits which were (sic).
Poor Bear eventually went on record recanting everything she had ever said regarding AIM's "criminal activities," including not only her testimony about Means, Robideau, Butler and Peltier, but about Marshall as well. In her later version of what happened, she asserted that she was held incommunicado for an extended period of time in a motel room near the Pine Ridge Reservation by a pair of FBI agents named Price and Wood. The agents explained to her taht she would "end up like Annie Mae" (Anna Mae Aquash, the Micmac woman assassinated on Pine Ridge in 1975, reputedly at the behest of agent Price) unless she testified to certain things in court. The agents then informed her of the details about which she was to testify, including those involved in the testimony she was to provide in the non-federal Marshall/Means trial.
First as Attorney General, and then as Governor of South Dakota, William Janklow has been successful in blocking a retrial of Richard Marshall, and forestalling inquirires into the nature of his office's relationship to FBI misconduct during the critical period. (For recent developments in the Peltier case, see "The Ordeal of Leonard Peltier," by William M. Kuntsler, in this issue.)
Over the years, the purposes of the secret war waged by the FBI and the Attorney General of the state of South Dakota against AIM have become clearer. For example, during 1975-76, the head of the federally imposed puppet government on Pine Ridge, Richard Wilson (head of the local death squads, known as "GOONs"), signed over approximately one-eighth of the reservation--without tribal consent--to the U. S. Park Service. The ceded area is believed to be rich in uranium and is suspected of being used to accommodate a high-level nuclear waste dump. The AIM people would have resisted such a land transfer. It was therefore necessary to tie them up in other matters or simply liquidate them.
Similarly, as governor of South Dakota, William Janklow has proved most accommodating to the sort of corporate penetration of the state which its inhabitants--red and white alike--have historically resisted. Only in appearing as the whites' savior from the "red menace" has Janklow been able to achieve a status which allows him to convert the area into what has been termed a "national sacrifice area." Under his handling, it has been estimated that a combination of energy extraction and the demands placed upon South Dakota's feeble ground water resources by industry will have rendered the western half of the state uninhabitable by the turn of the century.
William Janklow is the only known sex offender (and accused rapist) now occupying a U. S. governor's office. Had it not been for the intervention of the FBI in the form of its undercover agent, Douglass Durham, it seems possible that Janklow would have gone to the state prison rather than to the state capitol. Conversely, had it not been for the unabashed cooperation of Attorney General William Janklow, the reign of terror perpetrated by the FBI against the American Indian Movement would have been much more difficult to pull off.
On the basis of such symbiosis does the success of covert action depend. Not only the Indians, but the citizens of the entire state of South Dakota are now paying the price of this situation. Increasingly, however, we must all pay unless something is done, and done quickly, to prevent a recurrence.

Daniel Defense A1.5 Detachable Fixed Rear Sight AR-15 Flat-Top Aluminum Matte
Product #: 181805 Daniel Defense #: 19-064-11002 UPC #: 852548002110
Product Information
The Daniel Defense A1.5 Detachable Rear Sight is optimized for back-up sighting purposes when used in conjunction with a red dot or reflex optic. The one-piece design is machined from 6061-T6 Aluminum and Type III Hard Coat Anodized for strength, and attaches easily to any Picatinny-Spec rail with a single slotted screw. The fixed rear sight is of the correct height for proper alignment with an A2 Rifle or M4 "F" Marked Front Sight Base, as well as for co-witnessing with a red dot optic. The sight's streamlined profile does not interfere with an AR-15's charging handle, while its feather-light 1.7 ounce weight goes virtually unnoticed when attached to a rifle's top rail.
The A1.5 is a hybrid rear sight that incorporates the A2 Flip-Type Sighting Aperture (large and small aperture sizes) with an A1-Type Windage Wheel that requires a bullet tip or similar tool for adjustment, thereby ensuring that sighting corrections made at the range are not inadvertently altered by rough handling or use in the field.

|Dear Sir
|Grosvenor Square septr 10th 1785
It is a Wise Maxim that Every Freeman ought to have some Profession
Calling Trade or Farm, whereby he may honnestly subsist. but it by no means follows as a
Consequence that there can be no necessity for, nor use in Establishing offices of
profit, if we mean by these, offices with moderate, decent and stated, sallaries
sufficient for the comfortable support of the officers and their Families. offices in
General ought to yeald as honnest a subsistance and as Clear an independance as
Professions Callings Trades or Farms, if by offices of Profit we mean, offices of
excessive profits, it is not only true that there can be no necessity for them nor use
in establishing them, but it is clear they aught never to exist,—the dependance and
servility, unbecomeing Freemen in the Possessors and Expectants: the Faction Contention
Corruption and dissender amongst the People does not arise from
ambition the
honest profit but from the Excess, and they oftener arise from Ambition than Avarice. an
office without Profits, without sallary Fees Perquisites or any kind of Emolument is
sought for without with servility Faction and Corruption from Ambition as
often as an office of Profit is sought from Avarice
And this is the Way in which Corruption is constantly introduced
into society it constantly begins with the People, in their Elections, indeed the first
Step of Corruption is this dishonnest disposition in the People, an unwillingness to pay
their Representatives. the moment they require of a Candidate that
they he
serve them Gratis. they establish an Aritocracy by excluding from a Possibility of
serving them all who are Poor & unambitious, and by confining their suffrages to
a few rich Men, when this Point is once gained of the People, which is easily gained
because their own avarice pleads for it, Tyranny has made a Gigantic stride. I appeal to
your Knowledge of England whether servility Faction, Contention and Corruption appears
any where in so Gross forms, as in the Election of Members of Parliament whose offices
are very expensive and have no Profits. is not the Legislative at this Hour more Corrupt
than the Executive? is not more feroCity, Faction Contention and Corruption in the
offices in the Election of the People, than is disposing of those in the Gift of the
Crown? are there not as many who apply for these elections as
for offices in the Army Navy Church or Revenue? the Number of Persons who apply for an
office then is no Proof of an increase of its Fees or Profits,
the Man who offers a City or Burrough to serve them for nothing, offers a Bribe to every Elector, and the answer should be Sir you affront me.—I want a service which is worth something, I am able and willing to Pay for it. I will not lay myself under any obligation to you by accepting your Gift. I will owe you no gratitude any further than you serve me faithfully the obligation and Gratitude Shall be from you to me, and if you do not do your Duty to me I will be perfectly free to call you to an account and to punish you and if you will not accept of Pay for your service you shall not serve me—
there are in History examples of Characters wholy disinterested who have displayed the sublimest tallents the greatest virtues, at the same time that they have made long and Severe sacrifices to their Country, of their Time their Estates their Labour Healths and even their Lives, and they are deservedly admired and revered by all virtuous Men. but how few have they been One in two or three ages, certainly not enough to watch over the rights of Mankind for these have been last in almost all ages and Notions, societies Should not depend upon a succession of such Men for the Preservation of their Liberties. the People in their own cause by exacting such sacrifices in their service. Men see nothing but Misery to themselvs and ruin to their families attached to the honest service of the People. and the examples of Aristides Fabricious and Cincinnatus have in all ages terrified thousands of able and worthy Men from engaging in a service so hopeless and uncomfortable—
Knaves and Hipocrates see through the Whole sistem at once. I will take the People their own way says one of these, I will serve them without Pay. I will give them money. I will make them beleive that I am perfectly disinterested untill I gain their Confidence and exite their enthusiasm. then I will Carry that Confidence and Enthusiasm to markett and will sell it for more than all I give them. and all their Pay would have amounted to—si populus vult decipi decipiatur.
It should be a fundamental maxim with the People never to receive any services Gratis, nor to suffer any faithfull service to go unrewarded, nor any unfaithfull services unpunished. their rewards should be temperate, instead of this how stingy are they at first and how wild at last, Stingy untill the Man has served them long enough to gain their Confidence mad and frantick with generossity afterwards. their Gratitude when once their Enthusiasm is excited knows no bounds. it scatters their favours all around the Man. his family, his Father Brother son, all his relations all his Particular Friends must be idolised, Wealth and Power without measure or End must be confered upon them, without considering whether they be Wise Men or Fools Honest Men or Knaves.—
the social science will never be much improved untill the People
unanimously know and Consider themselvs as the fountain of Power and untill they shall
know how to manage it Wisely and honestly. reformation must begin with the People which can be done only, to affect, in their Educations. the Whole
People must take themselvs the Education of the Whole People and must be
willing to bear the expences of it. there should not be a district of one Mile square
without a school in it, not founded by a Charitable individual but maintained at the
expence of the People themselv[s] they must be taught to reverence themselvs instead of
adoreing their servants their Generals Admirals Bishops and Statesmen—Instead of
Admiring so extravegantly a Prince of Orange, we Should admire the Botavian Nation which
produced him. Instead of Adoring a Washington, Mankind should applaud the Nation which
Educated him. If Thebes owes its Liberty and Glory to Epaminandas, She will loose both
when he dies, and it would have been as well if she had never enjoyed a taste for
either: but if the Knowledge the Principles the Virtues and Capacities of the Theban
Nation produced an Epaminandas, her Liberties and Glory will remain when he is no more:
and if an analogous system of Education is Established and Enjoyed by the Whole Nation,
it will produce a succession of Epaminandas's, the Human Mind naturally exerts itself to
form its Character according to the Ideas of those about it. when Chrildren and Youth
hear their Parents and Neighbours and all about them applauding the Love of Country of
Labour of Liberty and all the Virtues Habits and Faculties which constitute a good
Citizen, that is a Patriot and an Hero—those Chrildren indeavour to acquire those
quallities and a sensible and Virtuous People will never fail to form Multitudes of
Patriots and Heroes. I Glory in the Character of a Washington because I know him to be
only an Exemplification of the American Character, I know that the General Character of
the Natives of the United states is the same with him and that the prevalence of such
sentiments and Principles Produced his Character and preserved it and I know there are
thousands of others, who have in them all the essential Qualities, Moral &
Intellectual which compose it. if his Character Stood alone I should value it very
little, I should wish it had never existed, because altho it might have wrought a great
Event, yet that Event would be no Blessing. in the days of Pompey Washington would have
been a Ceasar, his officers and Partisans would have stimulated him to it, he could not
have had their Confidence without it—in the time of Charles a Cromwell—in the days of
Phillip the second—a Prince of Orange, and would have wished to be Count of Holland. But
in America he could have no other ambition than that of retiring; in Wise and more
Virtuous Times he would
have been not have had that, for that,
is am Ambition. He would still be content to be Governor of Virginia Pressident of
Congress a Member of a Senate or an House of representatives. it was a General sentiment
in America that Washington must retire, Why? What is implied, this
necessity? if he could not offer to serve the public longer without Pay. let him be
paid. would it Lessen his dignity reputation? Why Should it? if the People
were perfectly Judicious instead of Lessening it would raise it, But if it did not
surely the late revolution was not undertaken to raise one Great reputation to make
one a sublime Page in History, but for the Good of the People.—does not
this Idea of the necessity of his retiring, imply an opinion of danger to the Public
from his Continuing in Public? a Jealousy that he might become ambitious? and does it
not imply something still more humiliating a jealousy in the People of one another? a
Jealousy of one Part of the People that another Part had grown too fond of him and
acquired habitually too much Confidence in him, and that there would be danger of
setting him up for a King undoubtedly it does, and undoubtedly there were such
suspicions, and Grounds for them too. Now I ask what occassioned this dangerous
for him? I answer that Great as his Tallents and Virtues are
they did not alltogether contribute so much to it, as his serving without Pay, which
never fails to turn the Heads of the Multitude. His ten thousand officers under him and
all his other admirers might have founded his Fame as much as they would. and they might
have justly founded it very high. and it would not all have produced such Extacies among
the People as this single circumstance—Now I say this is all wrong. there should have
been no such distinction made between him and the other Generals. he should have been
paid as well as they. And the People should have too high a sense of their own dignity
ever to suffer any Man to serve them for nothing. the higher and more important the
office the more rigorously Should they insist upon acknowledging its appointment by
them, and its dependance upon them,: but then they must be sensible of their own
Enthusiasm, and constantly upon their Gaurd against it. they Should consider that
although History presents us perhaps with one example of in 500 years of one
disinterested Character, it Shews us ten thousand Instances every year of the semblance
of Disinterestedness Counterfisted, for the most selfish purposes of Cheating them more
effectually. and the Glory of an Aristides and half a dozen others with the transient
flashes of Liberty they preserved in the World are a miserable Compensation to Mankind
for the long dreary ages of Gloomy Despotism which have passed all most over the Whole
Earth, by means of disinterested Patriots, becoming Artfull knaves, or rather by the
People themselvs not suffering their Benefactors to persevere in that Disinterestedness
to the End which they exact of them at first, for I think that it has been the People
themselvs who have allways created their own Despots.
you crossed something you had written about the Present times. I
wish you would restore it. this Correspondence must be confidential. But the Late Lord
Chatham, is a Striking example. he preserved the Character of disinterestedness but
imperfectly. yet it was somewhat of this Kind that elevated him so high in the
affections of the People. and you now see the consequences. the People think it a duty
to God to make up in their Devotion to his Son what they think they were wanting in
gratitude to Him
His Father. What but a Whirl Wind Could have done what we
have seen? Government must something more intelligable rational an
Pardon all this from your Friend.

One problem with web-based information is that it is typically presented without being personalized or tailored to fit a particular user's needs and requirements. Another problem relates to calls such as telephone calls, video calls or other multimedia calls made between two or more call members. Here it is often required to provide detailed information during the call. By storing a plurality of web pages and associating each of those web pages with information about one or more potential calls, it is possible to select one of those web pages for provision to a particular call member. For example, a user may store a web page for provision to family members, another for customers, and another for new inquiries. Information about a call is obtained and used to select an appropriate one of the stored web pages. This selected web page is then provided to the call member which is for example a wireless terminal with a web browser arranged to display the web page. The web pages may be stored on a web server or alternatively on the terminal used by the call member to take part in the call.
1. A method of displaying a web page at a telephone terminal, said telephone terminal comprising a web browser arranged to display web pages on the terminal, said method comprising the steps of:�
(i) on initiation or receipt of a telephone call by the telephone terminal, establishing communication with a source that has access to a plurality of web pages, each of the web pages being associated in a record with information identifying one or more potential call members;
(ii) receiving a web page from the source, said web page having been selected based on an association in said record between said selected one of the web pages and information identifying a member of said call;
(iii) displaying the selected web page on the telephone terminal; and
(iv) sending information about the telephone terminal to the source.
2. A method as claimed in
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing a web page to a call member. The invention is particularly related to but in no way limited to providing a personalised web page to a call member.
One problem relates to calls such as telephone calls, video calls or other multimedia calls made between two or more call members. Here it is often required to provide detailed information during the call. For example, during a telephone call a caller may wish to provide detailed background information about products, price lists, address and contact details and other information. It is difficult and time consuming for the caller to convey all this information to the destination party quickly and accurately and in a manner that is tailored to fit the destination party's requirements.
One way of providing detailed information to others is via the internet. However, one problem with web-based information is that it is typically presented without being personalised or tailored to fit a particular user's needs and requirements. For example, many web sites simply present information that is accessible to users in a similar manner to information presented in a hard copy encyclopedia. The same information is available to all users and it is necessary for individual users to search to find the particular information required for their task. This is time consuming and frustrating for the user. More recently, web sites which present personalised information to users have been developed. However, these do not enable such personalised information to be presented in a manner that is integrated with a call such as a telephone call, video call or other multimedia call.
Wireless application protocol (WAP) is a global open standard or enabling internet based information and services to be provided to digital mobile telephones and other wireless devices (e.g. pagers and smartphones). Using WAP technology wireless access to internet content and internet based services is possible. For example, a WAP enabled mobile telephone can be used to download and view WAP pages from a WAP site on the internet. This is achieved by setting up a data call from the mobile telephone to the WAP site. However, data accessed from a WAP site in this way is not personalised or tailored to fit a particular user's needs and is not integrated with a voice call.
It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for providing a web page to a call member which overcomes or at least mitigates one or more of the problems noted above.
Further benefits and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a consideration of the following detailed description given with reference to the accompanying drawings, which specify and show preferred embodiments of the invention.
According to an aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of providing a web page to a call member comprising the steps of:�
For example, the call member can be the originator of a telephone call. Several web pages have been specified in advance by another, for example, the receiver of the telephone call. Those web pages are tailored to suit different groups of users, such as business colleagues or family members. The web pages are associated with pre-specified information about potential calls. For example, this may be information about telephone numbers of potential call members. For example, a web page suited for family members may be associated with information about those family members. Using information about the call (e.g. the phone number of the originator of the call) one of the web pages (specified in advance by the receiver of the call) is selected and provided to the call member.
Alternatively, the pre-specified information may be information about the time of day that calls take place. A particular web page can then be presented to call members where the call takes place during office hours and a different web page to call members where the call takes place outside office hours.
This provides the advantage that a web page which is suited to the call member's requirements is provided to that call member. For example, one web page may be suitable for family members and contain the user's contact details and calendar information and another web page may contain information about the user's business suitable for customers. By using information about the call the most suitable web page for a call member is chosen and provided to that call member.
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided an apparatus for providing a web page to a member of a call. For example, this apparatus can be a web server. The apparatus comprises:�
According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer program for controlling such an apparatus or web server is provided. The computer program is arranged to control the apparatus in order to provide a web page to a member of a call, said computer program being arranged to control the apparatus such that:
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of displaying a web page at a telephone terminal that comprises a web browser arranged to display web pages on the terminal. For example, this method could be carried at by a telephone terminal. The method comprises the steps of:�
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a web site comprising a plurality of web pages, each web page being associated with pre-specified information about potential calls. This provides the advantage that a service may be provided to call members whereby personalised web pages are provided to those call members.
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a telephone terminal comprising:
This provides the advantage that no additional web server is required to store the web pages because these are stored on the telephone terminals themselves which therefore act as simplified web servers.
The invention also provides for a system for the purposes of digital signal processing which comprises one or more instances of apparatus embodying the present invention, together with other additional apparatus.
The preferred features may be combined as appropriate, as would be apparent to a skilled person, and may be combined with any of the aspects of the invention.
In order to show how the invention may be carried into effect, embodiments of the invention are now described below by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying figures in which:
Embodiments of the present invention are described below by way of example only. These examples represent the best ways of putting the invention into practice that are currently known to the Applicant although they are not the only ways in which this could be achieved.
The term �telephone terminal� is used to refer to any device comprising a user interface that enables a user to make a telephone call. For example, a conventional telephone handset, a mobile telephone handset, a personal computer comprising software for providing telephone functionality (PC phone) or a personal digital assistant (PDA) with telephone capability.
The term �web page� is used herein to refer to information intended to be provided via the internet or other internet protocol communications network, to a user interface for display using a web-browser. For example, hyper text mark-up language (HTML) pages, Java script pages, active server pages (ASP) pages and WAP pages using wireless mark-up language (WML) are all examples of web pages. The user interface display may be a mobile telephone display, a computer screen or any other suitable user interface.
A first embodiment of the present invention is now described in which communication between mobile telephone handsets takes place over the local area network (or intranet) of an enterprise. However, the invention is not limited to communication between mobile telephone handsets, any other suitable communications devices may be used. Also, the invention is not limited to communication over local area networks; any suitable communications network may be used.
The LAN comprises one or more mobile communications base stations 22 which are arranged to communicate with mobile telephones 11, 12 or other suitable wireless communications devices. This is achieved using an air interface such as the IEEE 802.11 protocol.
Each mobile telephone 11, 12 has a simple web browser stability and is able to communicate with an intranet web server 14 which is connected to the LAN 10. For example, each mobile telephone 11, 12 supports hyper text transfer protocol (HTTP), request for comments (RFC) 2616 and is able to display simple hyper text mark-up language (HTML) pages. Communication between the mobile telephones 11, 12 and the web server 14 takes place via either one of the mobile communications base stations 22. This is indicated by the schematic dotted arrow labelled HTTP in
In order for a voice call to take place between one of the telephone handsets 11, 12 and another terminal (which may be connected to the LAN, internet or PSTN) the private branch exchange 16 is used. As is known in the art, the PBX 16 comprises a voice over internet protocol (VOIP) gateway card 21 which is connected to a system core central processing unit (CPU) and switching fabric 19. Voice calls from one of the mobile telephones 12 are received via the LAN at the VOIP gateway card 21. The system core CPU and switching fabric 19, switches these calls as is known in the art, to the required destination. The required destination may be within the PSTN 17, Internet 13, LAN 10 or may be a mobile telephone in communication with the LAN 10. In the case that such a voice call is switched to a terminal within the PSTN 17 the call passes through a PSTN interface 18 in the PBX 16. In the case that the voice call is switched to a terminal within the LAN 10 or internet 13 the call passes either via the VOIP gateway card 21 or via another interface 20.
Communication between one of the mobile telephones 11, 12 and the PBX 16 takes place using H.323 protocol which supports real time voice communication over the intranet and internet. This communication takes place via either of the mobile communications base stations 22 as indicated by the schematic dotted arrow labelled H.323 in
The web server 14 comprises a web application 15 comprising a plurality of HTML or other suitable web pages. The web application 15 is arranged to provide personalised web pages to call members as described below with reference to
The user of the mobile telephone 31 labelled A in
Similarly, the user of mobile telephone B pre-specifies a plurality of web pages 33 that are also stored on or accessible to the web server 36. These web pages are designed for use by different groups of potential call members in the same way as for user A's web pages.
If the user of mobile telephone A initiates a voice call to the user of mobile telephone B, one of B's web pages 33 is provided to A. The same applies if the user of mobile telephone A receives a call from B. In that case, one of B's web pages 33 is provided to A. In this way a voice call and provision of web pages takes place at the same time. The user is able to carry out the voice call at the same time as viewing the web pages, for example, by using a headset to enable the mobile telephone screen to be viewed whilst a conversation takes place using the voice call. Alternatively, the user speaks into the mobile phone and when not speaking is able to view the display screen and listen to the other party to the call. In the case that a PC phone is used instead of a mobile telephone, the user is easily able to view the web pages whilst carrying out the telephone conversation.
Considering the user of mobile telephone B, if B initiates or receives a call from A, then one of A's web pages 34 is provided to B.
In order that personalised web pages are presented, the associations between the web pages and pre-specified information about potential calls is used. For example, linked to each web page is one or more telephone numbers of potential callers who should be presented with that web page. When a call is initiated or received, a request is sent to that web server together with information about the call members. For example, this information comprises the directory number of the call originator and the call destination. Using this information the web server is able to select a suitable web page for presentation as described in more detail below. Alternatively, other information such as the time of day that a call is initiated may be used.
The web pages themselves are pre-specified by a user and contain information suited to a particular group of users. For example, a web page suited for the user's secretary may contain calendar information, the current location of the user (provided using global positioning information for example) and other information. A web page suited for the user's customers may contain details of products, prices and links to a main business web site. In order to simplify the process of specifying web pages, a service by which users are offered standard web pages templates from which to choose their own web pages is offered. This service is provided over the internet such that the user is able to select appropriate web pages from the available templates using his or her mobile telephone or other communications device. Alternatively, the available templates can be accessed from a personal computer web browser and customised as required by the user. In order to simplify the process of customising such web pages, limited forms of customisation are possible and text can be entered in a similar fashion to that used by existing short message service (SMS) services. This enables users who are not experts to customise their web pages.
Consider the situation when mobile telephone A 11 of
In the message sequence chart of
Using mobile telephone A, a call is initiated to B by dialing, B's telephone number. This telephone number is sent from mobile telephone A to the PBX gateway 35 as indicated by arrow 71 in
The web server 36 uses this information from the query field to select a web page for presentation on mobile terminal A. This selected web page is provided to mobile terminal A 31 using an HTTP response message as indicated by arrow 73 in
Subsequent HTTP Get/response transactions may then be carried out manually by user A during the call (see 74 in
Selection of a Personalised Web Page
The process of selecting a personalised web page is carried out by a web based application at the web server, or any other suitable selection software, for example, located at one of the mobile telephones or other terminals. As mentioned above the selection is made on the basis of information about the call such as a call member's telephone number or the time that the call is initiated. Other information about the call may also be used together with information about the history of web page selections made during a certain time period. Information about the time of day is made available to the selection software and used to select an appropriate web page. In this case, different versions of each web page are available for different times of day and each web page is associated with time of day information.
In another example, information about the history of web page selections is made available to the selection software. For example, the software may record the web pages sent to a particular mobile telephone during the last week. When a new request is received from that mobile, a web page is selected which is different from the previous web pages sent to that mobile.
When mobile telephone (or portable) B 32 receives a call, it receives a Call setup message 81 from the PBX gateway 36 which comprises the caller line identity (CLID) of mobile telephone A (i.e. A's telephone number). On receipt of this call setup message 81 an HTTP GET message 82 is automatically sent by the mobile telephone 32 to a predefined address which is that of the web server 35. The HTTP GET message 82 comprises a host field, a port field and a query field. The mobile telephone B 32 adds information about the call to that query field such as B's telephone number and the CLID received in the previous call setup message (i.e. A's telephone number). Using this information the web server selects a personalised web page and provides this to mobile telephone B 32. This is achieved using an HTTP RESPONSE message 83 as shown in
The user of mobile telephone B is then able to carry on viewing web pages by making manual HTTP GET requests (see 84 in
Eventually the call is released (see 85 in
The methods of
John and Tommy first set up web pages and associate those web pages with particular groups of potential call members. The results of this process are indicated in
Thus John's telephone display 91 shows Tommy's home page 93 which contains information that Tommy is travelling this week and a request to be left a voice mail message. However, Tommy's telephone display 92 shows John's incoming call web page 4 which indicates that there is an incoming call from John.
The situation in which Tommy calls John is now described with reference to
In the examples described above with respect to John and Tommy, only John's web page varies based on whether he either receives or initiates a call. However, more complex situations are possible, where John and Tommy have several different web pages associated with different types of information about potential calls and with incoming or outgoing calls.
In the embodiments described above which use a web server to store the web pages, that web server may store a plurality of web pages for each of several different users. For example, user A may store five web pages for different types of potential call and user B may store three web pages for different types of potential call. When a web page request is made to the web server from one of the call members that web page request contains information about both the receiver and originator of the call. This enables the set of web pages for one of the call members, say the originator, to be identified in the web server, and then for one of those web pages to be selected, using the information about the other call member, e.g. the receiver.
In the embodiments described above, a modification is possible in the case that a user wishes to access another's web page without completing a call to that person. That is, the methods described herein can also be used to provide a simple way of accessing personalised web pages. Consider the situation where a daughter knows the telephone number of her mother but not the mother's web site address. The daughter is able to use the method of the present invention to initiate a call to the mother and so access the mother's web page(s). If the daughter does not wish to actually complete a call to her mother, an option can be provided whereby the voice, or other type of call to the mother is not completed.
A range of applications are within the scope of the invention. These include situations in which it is required to provide a web page to a call member. For example, to provide a personalised web pages from a call originator to a call receiver and vice versa.

Telemedicine Emerging as Rural ICU Solution
While the high startup costs associated with telemedicine programs have presented a barrier to many rural hospitals, data suggests they contribute to lower costs and lower mortality rates
Since the first programs were launched in the early 2000s, telemedicine has become a staple of nearly every area of care in the healthcare industry. But one area where it is just beginning to carve out a niche is intensive care.
ICU beds account for about 7% of total acute care hospital beds in the United States but generate 13.4% of total spending, with the cost of an inpatient stay ranging from $2,500 to $4,000 per day, According to the Society of Critical Care Medicine.
The evolution of tele-ICU programs is detailed in a report from the New England Healthcare Institute (NEHI), a health policy group that promotes the expansion of telemedicine. The report notes that, as of late 2012, there were 54 civilian and government tele-ICU monitoring centers in the U.S. While most were operated by academic medical centers, others were run by a mix of providers that included "regional hospitals, health plans, commercial firms, and the Veteran's Health Administration."
While tele-ICU programs have shown promise, however, high startup costs associated with the plans have presented a barrier to many rural hospitals that could benefit the most from such programs, the report suggests.
But "most indicators suggest that use of tele-ICUs is on the threshold of major change" and increased competition among providers is likely to "push tele-ICU care toward a more scalable and potentially more widely available technology," the report says.

Food Storage in the Bible
Food storage is mentioned in the Bible numerous amounts of times. Personally I think food storage and preparation for uncontrollable events goes hand and hand with Christianity. Many churches do not teach this, I think it is because the media has turned so called "preppers" into this crazed group of people that are fear mongers and abnormal. "Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth, He who gathers crops in the summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son"- Proverbs 10: 4-5. This means the Lord wants us to utilize our time wisely, instead of being selfish and living for the "now" we should be preparing for the future instead. 1 Timothy 5:8 says "But if any provide not for his own, and specially not for those of his own house, he hath denied his faith, and is worse than an infidel". To me providing does not mean just going to work and bringing home a paycheck so I can buy groceries every month. It means providing for the future of my families wellbeing. Let me ask you this, you buy life insurance so you can prepare for a death but why not have insurance on your food to prepare for an event that would put your families wellbeing in jeopardy? Check out Proverbs 6: 6-8, it shows God telling us to be more like the ant that stores provisions for latter days. Why would God make creatures that stock up on food from ants to bears, but not humans? Well the thing is we should be. God even warned the Pharaoh of Egypt in Genesis 41: 34-36 to prepare for a famine that would last 7 years. Proverbs 13: 16, "A wise man thinks ahead, a fool doesn't, and even brags about it". Sounds like a lot of people we know don't it? I am not saying go out and buy $500 worth of canned soups and hide them in your basement to help you during the end of the Mayan calendar, Dec 21, 2012…. Just kidding, what I mean is this; the Lord wants us to be prepared for the hardships that are coming our way whether it is a job loss or a sudden spike in oil prices resulting in a food shortage. We need to be prepared mentally, spiritually, and physically. Go learn how to can things on your own, learn to cure meat, learn the importance of seed collections, buy a couple extra canned items while grocery shopping, check out some sites like www.foodinsurance.com, all these things will add up and provide you with a food stockpile sufficient to help during the time of and unforecasted traumatic event. Do some research, think about it, and good luck.

Hi, you could try your iPhone in safe mode to see if the sound comes back. Though the crackling noise does sound like damp in the headphone socket. Try a single drop of wd40 or alcohol cleaner on your headphone jack and plug it into the headphone socket a few times to help clean its contacts.

The Visa Buxx Prepaid Card has been specifically designed to teach kids how to budget and manage their money. Parents enroll their teen in the program and have the ability to monitor their teen's spending. The prepaid Visa Buxx card looks similar to a Visa credit card, but it is a prepaid card. The card can be used everywhere that accepts Visa Debit cards.
Card Summary
The Visa Buxx card is a prepaid card that is designed for teens. The purpose of the card is to teach teens how to budget and manage their money with the help of their parents. It's a prepaid card that allows parents to load money to the card online or over the phone. Parents also can monitor their teens spending, which enables you to work with your teen and review their spending habits. The card offers special benefits to both teens and their parents. Since the Visa Buxx card is a prepaid card, cardholders don't have a credit line; teens are allowed access only to the prepaid amount of money that's on the card. When the card is used, the money is automatically deducted from the account.
Spending Limits and Adding Funds
Parents can determine how much money gets loaded on the card and they determine when and how the card is loaded. Parents can also log onto the Visa Buxx Web site at anytime and review their teen's spending. Parents have the option to suspend the account at any time, for any reason. This is a way for teens to have financial independence but with structured limits. Adding money to the Visa Buxx card is easy and can be done online or on the phone. All you do is log on to the Visa Buxx Web site or call the 800 number on the back of the card anytime, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
How To Sign Up
Signing up for a card is simple and can be done online. As of today, there are five different banking instiutions that offer the Visa Buxx Card: The PAYjr® Visa Buxx® Card, Sandy Spring Bank, Wachovia, U.S. Bancorp and Navy Federal Credit Union. If you don't already bank with one of these institutions that's not a problem because you can sign up for the card through any of them. It is as easy as setting any other electronic fund transfer, such as direct deposit or bill pay. And since you access your Visa Buxx account information online or by phone, you don't even need to have the financial institution's branch near you.
Card Benefits for Parents
- Powerful financial education tool because Visa Buxx helps teens learn budgeting through managing the prepaid amount on the card.
- Parental control with online tracking of purchases and spending limits, making it easy to address financial responsibility.
- Safer than cash because if it's lost or stolen, you are protected. You'll pay nothing for unauthorized purchases.
- Peace of mind in case of emergencies, while your teen is traveling, or for everyday errands.
- Convenient alternative to running to the ATM every time your teen needs money.
Benefits To Teens
- Independence to make responsible purchases without having to borrow a credit card or carry lots of cash.
- Flexibility to use it everywhere that accepts Visa debit cards.
- Smarter than cash because Visa Buxx enables teens to learn about financial responsibility and managing their own budget.
- Security because only the teen can use the card, and online account information is password protected.
- Always the right gift because parents can authorize family or friends to put money on the Visa Buxx card. It's faster and safer than mailing a check or giving cash.

Charles Falco -- in his 20s -- was making 50-thousand dollars a month as a drug dealer affiliated with the Bulgarian mob.
He eventually became addicted to methamphetamines, became suicidal, and was then busted by the Feds. It saved his life.
Looking at 22-years in prison, he agreed to work as DEA informant. That led him to work undercover for the ATF. He infiltrated not one, but three different outlaw bikers gangs: Vagos, Mongols, and Outlaws.
And he survived to tell about it. He insists it was God who saved his life during 5 brutal, harrowing years as an undercover operative.
You can read more about his story in a newly released book: "Vagos, Mongols & Outlaws, My Infiltration of America's Deadliest Biker Gangs."
