What is the Coastal Atlas?
The Coastal Atlas is an online mapping and planning tool that allows state and local decision-makers to visually analyze and explore data for coastal and ocean planning activities.
Marylands Blue Infrastructure
Our ocean and estuarine environments today face an era of unprecedented activity. Wind farms and other energy facilities, commercial fishing, diverse recreational uses, and shipping highways are all competing for use and space. To ensure the protection of Marylands critical ocean and estuarine resources, otherwise known as our Blue Infrastructure, and the coastal economies that depend on them, the Coastal Atlas has been developed to provide direct access to available data needed for coastal and ocean planning efforts. From finding the best location for renewable energy projects to locating sand resources needed for beach replenishment to helping local communities identify areas vulnerable to sea level rise and erosion the Coastal Atlas will assist users in identifying potential conflicts so that they can then be avoided early in the planning process.
Better Decision-Making
The Coastal Atlas is the result of a collaborative effort among the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, the Maryland Energy Administration, Towson University, the University of Maryland, The Nature Conservancy and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The data available through the Coastal Atlas includes physical characteristics, human uses and ecological resources. Through the Coastal Atlas, users are able to visualize, query, map, and analyze available data to better manage our marine and estuarine resources. The tools currently available, and those that will be continually developed for the Coastal Atlas, are designed to support better decision-making by transforming available data into information tailored for specific issues.
To help concerned citizens address specific coastal issues, the Coastal Atlas offers several mapping applications for Marylands Blue Infrastructure:
Allows users to view ocean data and access tools to understand and balance multiple ocean uses, including shipping, offshore renewable energy, recreation and fishing.
Allows users to access state coastal hazard data, including coastal inundation from storms, areas at risk to sea level rise and shoreline erosion data.
Allows users to identify and access critical tidal and near-shore habitats for targeted conservation, protection and restoration activities such as tidal wetlands, priority finfish habitat and submerged aquatic vegetation.
Maryland iMap
MD iMap is a diverse and flexible system that access to a centralized collection of the most commonly used map data, such as roads, streams, place names, and detailed imagery.

Marylands Coastal Atlas Undergoes Face-lift and Rolls Out New Tools for Informing Coastal Planning and Decision-Making
Through Marylands Coastal Atlas, Marylands Chesapeake & Coastal Service (CCS) is improving the States ability to access coastal data and tools that will help inform decision-making about coastal management in Marylands coastal zone. This online mapping and planning tool, developed to allow users to visually analyze and explore data for coastal and ocean planning activities, has recently undergone a number of exciting updates and enhancements. From October 2010 through September 2011, through funding from Marylands Coastal Zone Management grant and with the help of developers / programmers at Towson Universitys Center for GIS and Maryland Environmental Service, CCS staff has worked to enhance the functionality and utility of the Coastal Atlas. A major overhaul to the Atlass three mapping applications (Ocean, Shorelines, and Estuaries) has allowed the addition of new tools which enhance the user experience. Additionally, the applications are now easier to modify in order to account for future enhancements.

Link2Cell Features Telephone Features Answering System Features Dimensions Link2Cell Features Link2Cell: Panasonic's Link2Cell uses Bluetooth technology to link your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone with your multi-handset cordless phone. With Link2Cell, you can make and receive cell phone calls from the cordless handset. You can register up to 2 Bluetooth cellular phones and 1 Bluetooth headset. Phone Book Transfer: The Link2Cell's Phonebook Transfer feature lets you transfer up to 600 names and numbers from your cell phone's phone book to the built-in handset directory via Bluetooth. Stronger Signal: Link2Cell can alleviate cellular signals that vary from room to room. By placing your cell phone where reception is best and transferring calls via Link2Cell, you can communicate through the cordless handset clearly anywhere in your home. No Land Line Required: Since Link2Cell uses Bluetooth technology to connect your cell phone to the cordless handsets, no land line is required to make outgoing phone calls. Longer Battery Life: Link2Cell works while your cell phone is charging. You can use your cordless handset to make and receive calls while leaving your cell phone connected to the charger. Compatibility: See the Panasonic Link2Cell website for the latest compatibility list for cell phones and Bluetooth headsets. Telephone Features DECT 6.0 Plus: DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) Plus technology improves on the original DECT 6.0. The error correction frequency is increased up to 80x, which increases the range and improves the transmission quality. Operating in the 1.9 GHz frequency range, the KX-TG7743 phone will not conflict with other wireless devices such as computer routers, wireless keyboards, microwave ovens and other common household devices. Expandable Cordless System: In addition to the three included cordless handsets, you can add up to three more KX-TGA470 handsets, for a total of six. Intelligent Eco Mode: The phone's Intelligent Eco mode automatically reduces handset power consumption when you're using the handset close to the base unit. This feature extends the available talk time by suppressing the power it takes to transmit to the base unit. The "ECO" icon appears in the handset display when activated. Base Unit Speakerphone: The KX-TG7743 base unit has a keypad and speakerphone, allowing you to make and receive calls without the handset. Handset Speakerphone: The cordless handset can double as a speakerphone for hands-free conversations. The handset is squared on the bottom, allowing you to stand it up on a table top while you talk hands-free. 1.8" Backlit LCD: The cordless handset features a backlit 1.8" Full-dot Mono LCD screen with a resolution of 103 x 65 pixels. The handset LCD displays Caller ID information, battery strength, Caller List, Directory, plus the Function Menu table. You can adjust the contrast of the LCD from 1-6. Navigator Key: The navigator key on the handset is used to navigate through menus and to select items shown on the display by pushing it up, down, left, or right. You can easily adjust the receiver or speaker volume by pressing the navigator key up or down as you talk. Soft Keys: The handset has three soft keys which allow you to select the feature shown directly above it on the display. Some of the soft key functions include Mute, Phonebook, Menu, and Redial. Caller ID: This unit is compatible with Caller ID services offered by your telephone company. If you subscribe to Caller ID, the caller's name and phone number will be displayed and recorded in the handset's Caller List. Call Waiting Caller ID: If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID, when talking on the phone as another call comes in, the second caller's name and phone number will be displayed. Talking Caller ID: Talking Caller ID lets you know who is calling without looking at the display. When the caller information is received from your Caller ID service, the handsets and base unit announce the caller's name or phone number received after each ring. Ringer/Message Indicators: The handset has a ringer indicator LED on the top that will flash quickly whenever a call comes in, or slowly when you have a message or voice mail waiting. When the answering machine has received a message, the message indicator inside the "Play" button will flash. Note: The message alert feature must be "on" in order for the message indicator to operate. Caller List: The unit records information for the last 50 callers and stores this information in the Caller List. The unit can show the number of calls you missed. You can call back any number in the caller list. Once a number is in the Caller List, it can be manually or automatically edited (to add or remove area codes or prefixes), saved in the Directory, or deleted. Call Block: The phone can be programmed to reject unwanted calls. If you subscribe to Caller ID, the unit will reject a call that comes in without a phone number, including those that are labeled "Out of area", "Private caller", or "Long distance". Calls from a phone number stored in the call block list are also rejected. Up to 30 phone numbers can be stored in the call block list. When the call is received, the unit rings for a short time while the caller is being identified. If the phone number matches an entry in the call block list, the unit sends out a busy tone to the caller, then disconnects the call. Shared Phonebook: All handsets and cell phones registered to the base unit can use the unit's phonebook. Up to 3050 names and phone numbers can be stored in the phonebook. You can enter names up to 16 characters, and phone numbers up to 24 digits. A pause can be entered in the phone number if required for dialing. Each pause is stored as one digit and the pause is approximately 3.5 seconds. The directory names are sorted alphabetically. You can also assign names to one of nine groups to help you locate entries quickly and easily. Groups can also be assigned a different ringer tone to help you identify who is calling. Chain Dial: You can dial a number from the phone while on a call using Chain Dial. This can be used to dial a calling card access number, dial a PIN number, etc. without having to dial it manually. Redial List: You can review a list of the last five numbers dialed, then call any of those numbers. Mute: The Mute feature is a soft key visible on the cordless handset during a call. If you wish to temporarily mute the conversation, you can mute the handset so the other party cannot hear you, but you can still hear them. Handset Locator: This feature allows you to locate a handset by paging it from the base unit. All registered handsets are paged simultaneously. Silent Mode: You can program each handset to ring or not at your discretion. If you set a handset to Silent Mode, it will not ring when calls come in. A specific time period can be programmed ahead of time for the silent mode. Other handsets programmed to the phone are not affected, and will continue to ring when calls are received. Intercom: This feature lets you set-up a 2-way conversation between two registered handsets. Call Transfer: Calls can be transferred from one handset to any other registered handset. Call Share: Call Share allows a second registered cordless handset to join an existing external call by pressing one button. You can prevent other users from joining your conversations with outside callers by turning call sharing mode off. Any Key Talk/Auto Talk: The Any Key Talk feature allows you to press any of the numeric keys, the * key, or the # key to answer a call. When the handset is on the charger base, the Auto Talk feature allows you to answer a call by simply picking up the handset. Auto Talk can be turned on/off in the menu. Volume Controls: You have the ability to adjust volume levels for the handset and the handset speakerphone. Choose from four levels when holding the handset to your ear, and six levels for the speakerphone. Ringer Options: You can select one of six ringer volume settings or Off. You can also choose between five ring tones and five ring melodies. Temporary Tone Dialing: If you are using a pulse dialing system, you can temporarily switch to tone dialing to enter numbers for answering services, electronic banking services, company phone directories, etc. When you hang up, the mode switches back to pulse dialing. Flash Key: If you have the Call Waiting service, you can use the flash key to put the first call on hold, allowing you to answer a second incoming call. You can adjust the length of the flash time if necessary. Alarm: On the handset, you can set an alarm to sound for three minutes on a one-time or daily basis. With the date and time programmed into the phone, you can enter a desired time for the alarm to sound. Using a different ringer tone from the one used for outside calls is recommended. Security: A handset cannot operate unless it is registered with the base unit. Battery Information: The phone comes with six "AAA" rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries, two for each handset. A Ni-MH battery doesn't develop the "memory" effect like many Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) rechargeable batteries. Initial Charge Time: 7 hours Battery Talk Time: up to 13 hours continuous Battery Standby Time: up to 11 days Wall Mounting: The base unit and battery charger for the additional handsets can be placed on a desk or table, or can be wall mounted. The base unit has an integrated bracket that can be turned one way for wall mounting and turned the other way for placing on a desk. The battery charger has two keyhole slots for wall mounting. Answering System Features Total Recording Time: The total time for recording is approximately 18 minutes for all messages (including greeting). A maximum of 64 messages can be recorded. All messages are saved until you delete them. When the memory is full, an indicator on the base unit flashes rapidly, "Messages Full" is shown on the handset display, and, if you use the pre-recorded greeting message, the unit automatically switches to another pre-recorded greeting that asks callers to call again later. Caller's Recording Time: You can select 1 minute or 3 minutes for recording incoming messages. Individual messages can be played back and erased from the base unit or the handsets. Greetings: You can record a personal greeting of up to 2 minutes. The unit also comes with 2 pre-recorded messages; one used when the unit has no available recording time, and one used when a message will be recorded. Number of Rings: You can set the number of rings before the answering system answers the call. Your choices are 2 to 7 rings, or Toll Saver. When set to Toll Saver, the unit will answer on the second ring when there is at least one new message, or on the fifth ring when there are no new messages. This allows you to save on toll charges for the call by hanging up when you hear the third ring, knowing there are no messages. Call Screening: You can listen to an incoming message as the caller leaves it using the handset's speaker. Voice Day/Time Stamp: With each message the unit announces the day and time the message was recorded. Message Alert: When a new message has been received, the message indicator on the base unit will flash, and "New Message" is displayed on the handsets' display. Remote Operation: You can operate the Answering System from any touch-tone phone. The system is protected by a three-digit remote code to prevent unauthorized access. You can either use the unit's voice prompts (in English or Spanish) or direct commands by pressing keys. During remote operation, you can perform the following functions: Playback all messages or playback new messages only Repeat or skip a message Play the greeting Record a new greeting Erase currently playing message or all messages Turn the answering system on or off Voice Mail Services: The KX-TG7743 will integrate with your telephone company's voice mail service to make it easier to retrieve your messages. When you receive a new Voice Mail message, the telephone company sends special tones to alert you that a new message is available. The KX-TG7743 detects these tones, causing the message indicator on the handset to flash slowly, and by displaying "New Voice Mail" in the LCD. You can program your Voice Mail access number (along with your password and any necessary pauses) so you can dial it automatically to retrieve your messages.

Very cool features on this phone. We especially like the auto block feature for unknown numbers. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Phones Written By Ed D, Goshen, IN on Saturday, May 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This phone has excellent sound quality and about a 200ft range. It is a lot more comfortable to hold then a cell phone on those long conversations with good friends. It was fairly easy to set up and downloaded our address books from our Samsung cells without a hitch. Pros: clear sound easy address book transfer very comfortable to hold great range gives you extensions for your cell so you don't have to carry it. Cons: silver color, I prefer the old black. 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 questions already asked How many rings before it goes to voice mail? [ Ray Apr 30, 2014 ] 1 answer Ray: See page 53 under Answering Machine Settings in your Panasonic Operating Instructions manual to get all the details, but here is the short answer ... Default number of rings before Answering Machine kicks in is 4 . You can change the number of rings before Answering Machine kicks in from 2 - 7. For me, the default number of rings above is what I get and seems to work about right for me I would suggest reading everything starting on page 53 through 56 if you want to get "brain freeze" when it comes to Caller ID stuff. I am still trying to get a handle on all this info. TMI?? Actually, I have had relatively good luck, though no fault of my own on Caller ID related calls!! Good luck!! [ Ron May 02, 2014 ] 1) How long is the battery life when you are talking over the speaker phone? 2) How loud, generally speaking, is the speaker phone on the handset versus the speaker phone on the base unit? 3) When do you generally find yourself using the keypad on the base unit rather than the keypad on a handset? 4) Does the handset set up on a table, etc .. well so that a group can use? 5) I don't have bluetooth cells now ... would you still advise to get cordless with that option available? Thank you [ Ron Mar 07, 2014 ] 5 answers Thanks for your answer and forthrightness, Ron"and thank you Crutchfield & Co for chipping in too, ...Ron S. Can't [ Ron Mar 11, 2014 ] Hi Ron, I will try and answer your questions: 1. My husband and I don't use the speaker phone very often, and when we do it is only for brief moments when I want to free up my hands. Batteries must be quality because we use our phones often for lengthy local and long distance calls and haven't run out of juice yet. We make sure to put phones back on their stands after every use, that way battery never drains. I have not actually timed a lengthy phone conversation to see how low the battery gets. 2. I never compared speaker phones on handset vs base unit, but the speaker phones seem to work well, whereas I can hear perfectly clear. 3. I never use keypad on base unit, because the wireless hand held units are so convenient to take everywhere. 4. Not sure what you mean by this question. All the handsets can stand or lay flat on a surface or hook onto your person while talking on speaker phone. Speaker phone is quality enough for several people to speak into and hear each other. Once handsets are placed back on their bases the speaker & phone shuts off. 5. I would always say yes to bluetooth and cordless. Never know when you might want to use it. Better to stay on leading edge of technology if you can afford to do so. My cell phones are bluetooth capable, but I have not used that feature yet. All in all, we are pleased with our phones, and phones seem to meet our simple needs. Ok, hope my answers help some. Maren & Roger [ ROGER R Mar 11, 2014 ] answer to number one Ihave no problems with battery going dead. answer to number 2 the same. number 3 I use the headset only seldom do number 4 I use the base. it will sit on table no problem. number 5 I have never found a use for it. [ BENJAMIN Mar 07, 2014 ] 1) I haven't been on really long calls but have never found the battery running out. If it ever did I would probably switch to one of the other handsets. 2) Both speakers are about the same volume 3) When I am at the desk where the keyboard is located 4) I just place it on the table and it functions fine. Group use is good. 5) yes - it's a neat feature - my iPhone is set up and it rings thru the handset so I don't have to run for my cell phone. [ ANNE M Mar 07, 2014 ] Hi Ralph ... thanks for your answers ... very informative ... should help me make up my mind on which phone to select. Currently, I'm still thinking the Panasonic KX-TG7743S is the phone I will probably order. Do you know of any negative issues with this phone that would prompt you to order a different one?

SUMMARY: Forty-five states permit the use of assisted outpatient treatment (AOT), also called outpatient commitment. AOT is court-ordered treatment (including medication) for individuals who have a history of medication noncompliance, as a condition of their remaining in the community. Studies and data from states using AOT prove that it is effective in reducing the incidence and duration of hospitalization, homelessness, arrests and incarcerations, victimization, and violent episodes. AOT also increases treatment compliance and promotes long-term voluntary compliance, while reducing caregiver stress. The five states that do not have AOT are Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico and Tennessee.

Assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) is court-ordered treatment (including medication) for individuals with severe mental illness who meet strict legal criteria, e.g., they have a history of medication noncompliance. Typically, violation of the court-ordered conditions can result in the individual being hospitalized for further treatment.
Forty-five states permit the use of assisted outpatient treatment (AOT), also called outpatient commitment. The five states that do not have assisted outpatient treatment statutes are Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico and Tennessee.
A substantial body of research conducted in diverse jurisdictions over more than two decades establishes the effectiveness of assisted outpatient treatment in improving treatment outcomes for its target population. Specifically, the research demonstrates that AOT reduces the risks of hospitalization, arrest, incarceration, crime, victimization, and violence. AOT also increases treatment adherence and eases the strain placed on family members or other primary caregivers. Following are summaries of key findings.
Several studies have clearly established the effectiveness of AOT in decreasing hospitalization.
Researchers in 2009 conducted an independent evaluation of New York's court-ordered outpatient treatment law ("Kendra's Law") and documented a striking decline in the rate of hospitalization among participants. During a six-month study period, AOT recipients were hospitalized at less than half the rate they were hospitalized in the six months prior to receiving AOT (i.e., the hospitalization rate dropped from 74 percent to 36 percent). Among those admitted, hospital stays were shorter: average length of hospitalization dropped from 18 days prior to AOT to 11 days during the first six months of AOT and 10 days for the seventh through twelfth months of AOT (Swartz et al. 2009, 26-29).
A randomized controlled study in North Carolina (part of the so-called "Duke Study") in 1999 demonstrated that intensive routine outpatient services alone, without a court order, did not reduce hospital admission. However, when the same level of services (at least three outpatient visits per month, with a median of 7.5 visits per month) were combined with long-term AOT (six months or more), hospital admissions were reduced 57 percent, and length of hospital stay was reduced by 20 days compared to individuals receiving the services alone. The results were even more dramatic for the subset of individuals with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. For them, long-term AOT reduced hospital admissions by 72 percent and length of hospital stay by 28 days compared with the services alone. The participants in the North Carolina study were from both urban and rural communities and "generally did not view themselves as mentally ill or in need of treatment" (Swartz et al. 1999).
A 1986 study in Washington, D.C., found that the average patient's number of hospital admissions decreased from 1.81 per year before AOT to 0.95 per year after AOT (Guido and deVeau 1986). In a more recent Washington study of 115 patients, AOT decreased hospitalization by 30 percent over two years. The savings in hospital costs for these 115 patients alone was 3 million (Guido and Stavis 2007). In Ohio, the decrease in hospital admissions was from 1.5 to 0.4 (Munetz et al. 1996) and in Iowa, from 1.3 to 0.3 over a 12 month period (Rohland 1998).
In an AOT program in Florida, AOT reduced hospital days from 64 to 37 days per patient over 18 months, a 43percent decrease. The savings in hospital costs averaged 4,463 per patient (Esposito et al. 2008).
Only two studies have failed to find court-ordered outpatient treatment effective in reducing admissions. One was a Tennessee study in which "outpatient clinics [were] not vigorously enforcing the law," and thus non-adherence had no consequences (Bursten 1986). The second was a Bellevue Hospital (New York City) study that pre-dated the enactment of Kendra's Law and was based on a small AOT pilot program at that hospital (Policy Research Associates 1998). The study authors acknowledged that they could not "draw wide-ranging conclusions … [due to] the modest size of [the] study group." As in the Tennessee study, there were no consequences to an individual for non-adherence, calling the significance of the findings into serious question. Although not statistically significant because of the small study group, the Bellevue study suggests that the court orders did in fact help reduce the need for hospitalization. Patients in the control group spent a median of 101 days in the hospital, while patients in the court-ordered group spent a median of 43 days in the hospital during the study.
Assisted outpatient treatment reduces homelessness.
A tragic consequence for many individuals with untreated mental illnesses is homelessness. At any given time, there are more people with untreated severe psychiatric illnesses living on America's streets than are receiving care in hospitals. In New York, when compared to three years prior to participation in the program, 74 percent fewer AOT recipients experienced homelessness (New York State Office of Mental Health 2005).
ASSISTED OUTPATIENT TREATMENT REDUCES ARRESTS and incarceration.
A study of the New York State Kendra's Law program published in 2010 concluded that the "odds of arrest in any given month for participants who were currently receiving AOT were nearly two-thirds lower" than those not receiving AOT (Gilbert et al. 2010).
According to a New York State Office of Mental Health 2005 report on Kendra's Law, arrests for AOT participants were reduced by 83 percent, plummeting from 30 percent prior to the onset of a court order to only 5 percent after participating in the program (New York State Office of Mental Health 2005, 18).
In a Florida report, AOT reduced days spent in jail among participants from 16.1 to 4.5 days, a 72 percent reduction (Esposito et al. 2008).
Similarly, the Duke study in North Carolina found that, for individuals who had a history of multiple hospital admissions combined with arrests and/or violence in the prior year, long-term AOT reduced the risk of arrest by 74 percent. The arrest rate for participants in long-term AOT was 12 percent, compared with 47 percent for those who had services without a court order (Swanson et al. 2001).
ASSISTED OUTPATIENT TREATMENT REDUCES violence, crime and VICTIMIZATION.
The 2005 New York State Office of Mental Health report also found that Kendra's Law resulted in dramatic reductions in harmful behaviors for AOT. Among AOT recipients at six months of assisted outpatient treatment compared to a similar period of time prior to the court order: 55 percent fewer recipients engaged in suicide attempts or physical harm to self; 47 percent fewer physically harmed others; 46 percent fewer damaged or destroyed property; and 43 percent fewer threatened physical harm to others. Overall, the average decrease in harmful behaviors was 44 percent (New York State Office of Mental Health 2005, 16).
A 2010 study by Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health reached equally striking findings about the impact of Kendra's Law on the incidence of violent criminal behavior. When AOT recipients in New York City and a control group of other mentally ill outpatients were tracked and compared, the AOT patients – despite having more violent histories – were found four times less likely to perpetrate serious violence after undergoing treatment (Phelan et al. 2010).
The Duke Study in North Carolina found that long-term AOT combined with intensive routine outpatient services was significantly more effective in reducing violence and improving outcomes for severely mentally ill individuals than the same level of outpatient care without a court order. Results from that study showed a 36 percent reduction in violence among severely mentally ill individuals in long-term AOT (180 days or more) compared to individuals receiving AOT for shorter terms (0 to 179 days). Among a group of individuals characterized as "seriously violent," 63.3 percent of those not in long-term AOT repeated violent acts, while only 37.5 percent of those in long-term AOT did so. Long-term AOT combined with routine outpatient services reduced the predicted probability of violence by 50 percent (Swanson et al. 2001b).
The North Carolina study further demonstrated that individuals with severe psychiatric illnesses who were not on AOT "were almost twice as likely to be victimized as were outpatient commitment subjects." Twenty-four percent of those on AOT were victimized, compared with 42 percent of those not on AOT. The authors noted "risk of victimization decreased with increased duration of outpatient commitment" and suggested that "outpatient commitment reduces criminal victimization through improving treatment adherence, decreasing substance abuse, and diminishing violent incidents" that may evoke retaliation (Hiday et al. 2002).
AOT has also been shown to be effective in increasing treatment compliance. In New York, according to the 2005 New York State Office of Mental Health report, AOT led to a 51 percent increase in recipients' exhibition of good service engagement, and more than doubled the exhibition of "good" adherence to medication (New York State Office of Mental Health 2005, 11-13).
In North Carolina, only 30 percent of AOT patients refused medication during a six-month period, compared to 66 percent of patients not under AOT (Hiday and Scheid-Cook 1987). In Ohio, AOT increased attendance to outpatient psychiatric appointments from 5.7 to 13.0 per year; it also increased attendance at day treatment sessions from 23 to 60 per year (Munetz et al. 1996).
AOT also promotes long-term voluntary treatment compliance. In Arizona, "71 percent [of AOT patients] . . . voluntarily maintained treatment contacts six months after their orders expired" compared with "almost no patients" who were not court-ordered to outpatient treatment (Van Putten et al. 1988). In Iowa, "it appears as though outpatient commitment promotes treatment compliance in about 80 percent of patients while they are on outpatient commitment. After commitment is terminated, about three-quarters of that group remained in treatment on a voluntary basis" (Rohland 1998).
The New York Independent Evaluation also yielded interesting findings on the likelihood of voluntary compliance after AOT is allowed to expire. For individuals who received AOT for periods of six months or less, the researchers found that post-AOT sustainability of improvements in medication adherence depended on whether intensive outpatient services were continued on a voluntary basis. Those who continued with intensive services maintained their substantial increase in medication adherence relative to the pre-AOT period (from 37 to 45 percent); those who discontinued such assistance dropped back to near the pre-AOT levels (33 percent). Patients who received AOT for more than six months, however, experienced increased medication adherence whether or not intensive services were continued. The medication adherence rate was higher for those who continued intensive services than for those who did not (50 percent vs. 43 percent), but both groups maintained substantial improvements from the pre-AOT rate (37 percent) (Swartz et al. 2009, 39-44).
Assisted outpatient treatment improves substance abuse treatment outcomes. Individuals who received a court order under New York's Kendra's Law were 58 percent more likely to have a co-occurring substance abuse problem compared with a similar population of mental health service recipients not receiving AOT. Furthermore, the prevalence of substance abuse at six months in AOT as compared to a similar period of time prior to the court order decreased substantially: 49 percent fewer abused alcohol (from 45 percent to 23 percent), and 48 percent fewer abused drugs (from 44 percent to 23 percent) (New York State Office of Mental Health 2005, 16).
ASSISTED OUTPATIENT TREATMENT reduces caregiver stress.
A study published in 2004 examined the impact of AOT on those who serve as primary caregivers for people with severe mental illness (typically, family members). The level of reported stress was compared for caregivers of individuals who received AOT of at least six months, those who received brief AOT, and those who received no AOT. The results indicated that extended AOT (six months or more) significantly reduced caregiver stress. Not surprisingly, improved treatment adherence was also found to reduce caregiver stress. Notably, the study showed that AOT operates as an independent factor from treatment adherence in reducing stress. That is, AOT "contributes significantly to reduced caregiver strain, over and above its effect on treatment adherence" (Groff et al. 2004).

When the World Economic Forum recently surveyed leaders to identify the greatest impediments to conducting business in developing countries, they cited corruption as the biggest hurdle in Russia, the second biggest in India, and the fifth biggest in both China and South Africa. Governments in some emerging markets have taken action. Legislators and courts in Brazil, China, India, and other countries are starting to take on vote buying, contract rigging, election fixing, and other types of illegal activities. However, the problems stubbornly persist.
Private citizens are also joining the fight against corruption. Some are making the effort via for-profit ventures, such as the investigative magazines Caijing (which has a business relationship with HBR) and Caixin, in China. Others take a grassroots approach, using the power of the internet to shine a light on corrupt practices in government.
We have been studying this new breed of citizens' initiatives in China, India, Russia, and Turkey because business leaders can no longer ignore them. Certainly, there are powerful moral arguments against shady practices, and tougher enforcement of regulations such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK's Bribery Act have raised the legal stakes for multinationals. But these citizen-driven initiatives are raising public awareness as never before and demand that CEOs pay attention.
To help executives work through these issues, we focus in this article on RosPil, a web-based effort to expose corruption in Russia. RosPil raises strategic and tactical questions for CEOs that also are applicable beyond Russia. Founded in 2010 by Alexey Navalny, a lawyer turned anticorruption activist, RosPil crowdsources its activities by distributing tasks to anonymous participants who identify requests for government tenders that are designed to generate kickbacks. RosPil claims, as of December 2011, to have prevented the granting of dubious government contracts worth US$1.3 billion (a figure that has not been corroborated independently). As Navalny's efforts gain popular support in Russia, they raise issues for business that are not easy to address.Russia's Entrenched "Kleptocracy"
Executives' perceptions that corruption is a sorry fact of life in Russia are generally accurate. Although its forms may be more predictable now than immediately after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the problem has become deeper in some ways.
"Everyone knows that Russia's laws don't work," wrote John R. Beyrle, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, in a confidential memo that WikiLeaks released in 2010. "The government bureaucrats, FSB [the security service that succeeded the KGB], police, and prosecutors' offices all accept bribes....The lawless criminal climate in Russia makes it difficult for businesses to survive without being defended by some type of protection."
Companies and individuals must secure that protection—what Russians call krysha, which means "roof"—by making regular payments to extortion rings, police, bureaucrats, and politicians. As Beyrle added, "If people attempt to forgo protection, they will be shut down instantly....Everyone has bought into the idea of protection in Moscow, so it has become a norm....The government operates more as a kleptocracy than a government."
The roots of the problem date back to the Soviet Union's collapse. Vladimir Putin, who served his first two terms as Russia's president after Boris Yeltsin's resignation, revived the economy on a wave of rising oil and gas prices and demolished the oligarchs' power, although he did very little else to combat corruption. He also made Russia a "managed democracy," where elections are supposedly democratic but candidates are chosen behind closed doors, where free speech is ostensibly protected but most media outlets are state-owned or state-influenced, and where the economy is apparently a free market but corruption thrives.

I want to be able to document my trip and to provide a place for those who have sponsored me to see the work I do at the orphanage as well as the physical challenges I will be facing.
Any suggestions?
In case you were wondering the charities I am raising money for is: Unicef, Sentebale, the Nelson Mandela Childrens Fund and Touch Africa. More info. can be found at www.enduroafrica.wordpress.com
Thanks in advance for your suggestions...

People love to complain that D.C. is a dysfunctional city. That may be a bit harsh. Despite the partisan gridlock, sometimes deals can be reached in Congress — for example, the new gun control compromise measure in the Senate.
And the city itself is a much more appealing city to live in these days. The recent, taxpayer-financed boom in D.C. has led to improved restaurants, nightlife, shopping, and residential options. (I used to live in D.C., from 2006 to 2008, and I continue to visit frequently.)
But the lawsuits coming out of the nation's capital — well, they're still pretty crazy. Time for some quick updates on the insanity….

Broken merchandise

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Advent Candle:
Both Advent Candles arrived broken. When I contacted customer service they refunded the purchase price of the candles but not of the shipping. I would not purchase candles from them again since they do not know how to package fragile items.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Everyone loves them and looks forward to receive them each Thanksgiving. I have done this for 25 years and will continue as long as Miles Kimball has them available. Please DO NOT discontinue this item. Thank you and we are burning down each day! Merry Christmas!
Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

AAdorable candle! Bought one for me and one as a gift. The only problem was I had a hard time finding a taper candle holder. Would never have guessed it would be difficult to find them. But I finally did and the candle is a hit with my daughter and my niece! Highly recommend!

Our family got hooked on these candles over 20 years ago. You seem to be the only place left to purchase them. Even though the price on the candle is a good one, the shipping costs for just an item or two is high. I understand the cost of everything has increased and you have to make a profit. But sometimes I don't order because I don't have a large enough order to make the shipping costs worthwhile. But I like your catalog and the items I have purchased from your company.
I buy this product every year!

For Immediate Release
Partnership for Food Safety Education
Shelley Feist, 202-220-0651
Recall Basics for Consumers
Partnership for Food Safety Education produces primer on identifying food that has been recalled
March 4, 2010 – Washington, D.C. - New consumer materials from the Partnership for Food Safety Education at www.recallbasics.org orient consumers to the need to take notice of recalls and to take action to identify whether a recalled product is in their home.
Recent research by the Rutgers University Food Policy Institute found that most Americans say they pay close attention to news reports about food recalls, and 81% say that when they hear about a food recall, they tell others about it. Yet fewer than 60% of Americans have ever checked their home for a recalled food item. This suggests that, for many Americans, food recalls are seen as important but not particularly relevant to themselves.
"These new materials are intended to take the mystery out of major food recalls and bring consumers back to basic steps that bridge the gap between understanding and action," said PFSE Executive Director, Shelley Feist.
Recalls are issued for safety and should not cause panic. Downloads at www.recallbasics.org include a "What to Look For" flyer that lists the basic identifying information on various food products that consumers can match to a recall notice in order to find out if they have a recalled product in their home.
"Getting consumers to pay attention to news about recalls isn't the hard part," says William K. Hallman, a psychologist and Director of the Food Policy Institute at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, "Getting them to take the step of actually looking for recalled food products in their homes is the real challenge."
The Partnership encourages consumers to be aware of these simple steps to identifying if they have a recalled food product at home:
Learn about food recalls in the news, through your food retailer, or sign up to receive recall notices at www.recalls.gov
Identify the type of food product in the recall notice -- i.e. meat, poultry, canned good, fresh produce, etc.
If you think you may have the product in your home, start with matching the details! Match identifying marks on the food product you have--such as product name, brand, container codes, and container size or weight-- with the recall notice details. If the product details don't match the recall notice details then there is no need to be concerned or to take action.
Remember to check your freezer, pantry and refrigerator. Consumers believe that most recalled food has already been eaten by the time a recall occurs, but this is not always the case.
Understand that the recall of one product does not mean all forms of that product are a potential problem. But, be aware that occasionally recalls will be expanded to include additional products as more information is gathered.
If you do find that you have a recalled food product in your home, do not eat or open the product. Handle the recalled product carefully, always washing hands after touching the product. Return it to the store where it was purchased, or dispose of it properly following the recall notice guidelines.
Consumers can learn more about current food recalls at www.recalls.gov and www.foodsafety.gov.
A recall news widget can be downloaded at http://www.foodsafety.gov/widgets/index.html.
Additional support for consumers with questions about food safety and recalls can be found at:
USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline
1-888-MPHOTLINE (1-888-674-6854). The hotline operates Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET.
"Ask Karen," the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service virtual representative is available 24 hours a day, at AskKaren.gov.
For food products other than meat and poultry products:
FDA hotline 1-888-SAFEFOOD (1-888-723-3366).
Recall Basics was developed by the non-profit Partnership for Food Safety Education (PFSE) which unites industry associations, professional societies in food science, nutrition and health, consumer groups and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency, and from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to educate the public about safe food handling and preparation. The Partnership is the creator and steward of the Fight BAC! ® campaign, a food safety education program developed using scientifically based recommendations and resulting from an extensive consumer research process. Fight BAC!® materials are fully accessible online at www.fightbac.org and utilized by consumers, teachers, dietitians, public health officials and extension agents across the United States.

In a recent ranking of the world's most valuable law firms, the litigation powerhouse of Quinn Emanuel topped the chart in "value per partner" (total firm value divided by number of equity partners). For QE, the "VPP" figure came out to a whopping $17.7 million.
So you can understand why
masochistic talented lawyers pursue partnership at the famously hardworking firm with such fervor. Sure, occasionally you'll hear about a partner walking away from the riches. But for many a young lawyer, making partner at Quinn Emanuel is a dream come true.
Over the weekend, QE announced ten new partners. Who made the cut?

Whether you are a small business, a multinational or an individual seeking personal branding, having a good website is very important. Now more than ever, the role of the internet and a good designed website is becoming very important. Organizations and businesses are being judged by the type of web presence that they have. Therefore, having a good designed website is a very important thing indeed. This article explores this world and identifies some of the top qualities that make a good web design.
The first main quality that makes a good web design is its simplicity. In this, you need to note that the simpler the website is, the better it is. In fact, no one really likes browsing those websites that are clumsy in the name of design. No one also likes to visit a website that is not well designed or one that is full of irrelevant materials. Therefore, for you as a company or individual, you should always insist on getting a good and simple website that has the relevant materials.
The second main aspect that makes a good web design is that of the responsiveness which it has. In this, it is very important to always ensure that the website is not limited to the desktop only. Today, the dynamics of web usage are rapidly changing. Many devices of different sizes and resolutions are currently being used. Your website needs to go hand in hand with these devices. It needs to be able to fit well without having the need for 'pinch and zoom' procedures. This is simply because the user interface will not be very friendly.
It is also very important to ensure that you have a website that has social features and plugins installed. As such, it is very important to always note that many people in the world are now more than ever engaged in the social media. They therefore need to be able to share what they have to the rest of the world using these social tools. If you have the tools, then your website will receive more hits.
In addition, it is very important to have a good website design that is well optimized to the search engines. When a website is very much optimized, it will bring more conversions at a lower cost. As such, the cost of customer acquisition will be reduced significantly which will lead to better return on investment.

Adairsville's Cole McCreary will be playing collegiate football for the Berry College Vikings, who are part of the NCAA's Southern Athletic Association.
Josh Cooper and Hayes Linn, teammates on this year's 13-1 Cartersville Purple Hurricanes, took turns signing their letters of intent inside the high school's media center.
Mercer University has not fielded a football team since 1941, but that did not stop Cooper from wanting to be part of the 2013 Bears' defensive starting line up.
Instead of lining up against Adairsville or Cass, Linn has his sights set on stopping Notre Dame's passing attack when the Irish play the Falcons of Air Force in late October.
Both Mercer and the Air Force Academy are Division I schools.
Although coach Frank Barden employed both Cooper and Linn at the wide receiver and defensive back positions, the two seniors expect to make immediate contributions as defensive backs at Mercer and Air Force, respectively. This past season, Cooper and Linn combined for 187 tackles and six interceptions.
Linn's decision to concentrate on defense was an easy one since the Falcons institute the triple option on offense.
"Air Force throws the ball less than 10 times a game," Linn said. "As a receiver, that means you catch one or two passes per game. As a defensive back, you have to focus on every play. I think that's going to be the biggest change for me. I'm used to being on field every play. But I'll be ready when the time comes to take the field on defense."
