Medical Malpractice and the U.S. Health Care System by William M. Sage
Book DescriptionMedical malpractice lawsuits are common and controversial in the United States. Since early 2002, doctors' insurance premiums for malpractice coverage have soared. As Congress and state governments debate laws intended to stabilize the cost of insurance, doctors continue to blame lawyers and lawyers continue to blame doctors and insurance companies. This book, which is the capstone of three years' comprehensive research funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts, goes well beyond the conventional debate over tort reform and connects medical liability to broader trends and goals in American health policy. Contributions from leading figures in health law and policy marshal the best available information, present new empirical evidence, and offer cutting-edge analysis of potential reforms involving patient safety, liability insurance and tort litigation.

Waiting for Packers to sign their free agents? Keep waiting
Green Bay - If you're wringing your hands wondering why the Packers haven't signed any of their soon-to-be unrestricted free agents, stop it. Stop it now.
The Packers are no closer to signing TE Jermichael Finley and C Scott Wells than they were six months ago. According to NFL sources, there have been discussions between negotiator Russ Ball and several of the team' free-agents-to-be, but nothing is imminent.
There's a reason for that, too.
The Packers don't get serious about signing their name free agents until the market starts to show itself, which in most cases is a couple of hours before free agency begins.
They will float offers that many agents consider below-market value in hopes of getting a Josh Sitton or Jordy Nelson to go for the security of a long-term deal, but in the case of guys like Wells, Finley and Jarrett Bush, they are dealing with guys who are not going to bite because their free-agent value is going to be sky high.
Consider when some of the Packers free agents signed in years past:
- LB A.J. Hawk, 2011 - Agreed to a five-year, $33.75 million deal hours after pre-lockout free agency started.
- K Mason Crosby, 2011 - Agreed to a five-year, $14.75 million deal the same day that post-lockout free agency started.
- S Nick Collins, 2010 - Agreed to a four-year, $30.4 million deal hours before free agency started.
- DE Ryan Pickett, 2010 - Agreed to a four-year, $24.92 million deal hours before free agency started.
- OT Chad Clifton, 2010 - Signed a three-year, $19.38 million deal three days after free agency started.
- OT Mark Tauscher, 2010 - Signed a two-year, $8.2 million deal two days after free agency started.
- DE Aaron Kampman, 2006 - Agreed to a four-year, $21 million deal hours before free agency started.
- Clifton, 2004 - Signed a six-year, $32.35 million deal the same night that free agency started.
Waiting until the last minute allows GM Ted Thompson and Ball to see what players at the same position as their free agents are going to be available and how that will affect their market value. It also allows them to see if the agent they're dealing with is bluffing about interest his client will draw from other teams.
Of course, the downside is that it's too late and the free agent leaves or you misread the market and overpay as was the case with Hawk. That's why there is some risk involved doing it the Packers' way.
Talk between the Packers and the free agents' representatives will heat up at the scouting combine in Indianapolis next week, but don't expect deals done until right around or after the 4 p.m. start of free agency March 13.
The next date to keep an eye on is Feb. 20, which is when teams can start applying franchise tags. They have until March 5 to slap them on one of their free agents.
Finley is the leading candidate to get the franchise tag, which means Thompson and Ball are going to have to work hard to get Wells and Bush done before free agency starts. Both would be happy to shop themselves around the league if the Packers give them the opportunity.

Going down to drive up Mt. Greylock this afternoon with the exchange kids, hoping to see a remnant of the foliage that is quickly falling. Class tonight then back to work for the weekend.
Back after a great weekend at the Men's Retreat in NH. I met my buddy to ride over Friday afternoon, but we stopped to visit a dear old saint that I consider a surrogate grandfather. Ed is 90 years old, and has been a big encouragement in my walk with Christ, even giving me a great commentary and a guide to the BIble. He has not been well for a while, but recently was diagnosed with liver cancer and some blot clots in his lungs, and not much time left. We prayed with him and he prayed for us - amazing.
We headed over and enjoyed great food and teaching. I went for a swim again this year on Saturday, 1.57 miles under cloudy skies in 60 degree water, then we went on a motorcycle ride with Rick's friend Paul. We got back to the camp ground and GregJS came over for supper and the Saturday evening service, so he got to met some of the guys and enjoy a split!
Back to work on Monday, with a complete computer crash and a crazy busy day yesterday as we tried to catch back up. I slept in today after dropping the kids off at school, and went for a swim before supper tonight:

Short and sweet. Packing up motorcycle for long weekend, heading to a Men's Retreat in NH with lots of riding and perhaps a swim as well.
Got some extra sleep after dropping the kids off at school, then went to Chapel at college before lunch. My daughter was home so I enlisted her to drive and hand out as I headed to Lake Paran for another swim. With the weekend overcast and raining, plus the showers last night, my assumption of lower water temps were correct. Near the edge of the water I measured 57 degrees, so I disrobed and headed in with air temps around 60 and a fair bit of wind-driven ripples dancinging on the surface.
I took ViveBene's advice and after a few stokes of free I flipped over to back until I reached the beach on the other side. Checked the temp again to find a temp today of 55! Three degrees below last week's swim. I pressed on, aided by silicone ear plugs, another hint I picked up for helping with cold water swims. Ended up swimming 0.65 miles in About 23 minutes. The folliage is on the downswing here, especially with last night storms.
I enjoyed a warm coffee and snack in the car, all the while remembering that delightful ginger tea that Greg had at the ready after the Harriman swim in June. Emma snapped some pics, so I'll have to get them from her. Apparently, before I started in she snap-chated a nice pic of my backside, so I'll try to find that for your viewing pleasure.
Took me about 2.5 hours to actually warm up, in which time I mowed the lawn and headed up to a soccer game. Late start, so we got home as supper was being served - I got to think of my supper all practice. GegJS and I took on a good one tonight:
- 200 swim/200 kick/200 pull
- 4 x 50 B/C on 1:00 (I was and only did 2)
1 x 100 on 2:00 (did 150 with snorkel and AG)
4 x 25 on :45 AFAP
1 x 200 on 3:30 (did 250 pull)
4 x 25 on :45 AFAP
1 x 300 on 5:00 (did 350)
4 x 25 on :45 AFAP
1 x 400 on 7:00 (did 500 as Noah's Ark = 6:09)
4 x 25 on :45 AFAP
200 Loosen and out (did 250)
(Masters/Rec/2600 yds/55 min)
Fair amount of swimming today with some other fun. Planning to jog tomorrow night, then swim again on Friday before heading out of town to a Men's Retreat for the weekend.
Updated October 9th, 2013 at 08:05 AM by rxleakem
Finished out the weekend with all items accomplished, including leading the first Sunday service at the nursing home in the afternoon and finishing up my reading assignments after church in the evening. I was even crazy enough to log two miles running last night around 9pm - first time without needing to stop! Back to working this morning, leaving a bit early to give flu shots at a community care home as a line of heavy rain moved into town.
Bible study was canceled tonight with the guys (Mike is back from a month at the St. Lawrence River, but had to back out tonight), so I went for a quick recovery swim after popping back into work to finish up some of the billing from the afternoon:
- 200 Fr/200 IMdrill
- 600 Shark Swim
(Solo/Rec/1000 yds/20 min)
Masters tomorrow night, after a soccer game and perhaps a dip in the lake. SHould be much chillier after three days of rain and little sunshine!
Updated October 7th, 2013 at 09:24 PM by rxleakem
Went to a men's Breakfast this morning, great food and a testimony from Bill about his being sober for 25 years this coming Monday - awesome!
Went to Masters with a full stomach and not expecting anyone else to show up, as Greg is away and Kevin is visiting his son for parents weekend at UVM. I was happy to see Meg and Jill ready to swim! They were doing their own thing since they haven't been in the water in two months, so I did some main set stealing ...
200 Fr/100 Bk/100 IM drill
400 continuous as 50 kick, 50 pull with buoy
MS1: Water Rat's 16 x 150's via slknight:
1 on 2:30 (1:40 base)
4 on 2:20
1 on 2:40 - used snorkel and AP to this point
3 on 2:10
1 on 2:50 - used snorkel
2 on 2:00 (1:20 base)
1 on 3:00 - did back
1 on 1:50 - 1:46
1 on 3:30 - did back
MS2: fun with 75's
- 9 x 75 on 1:15
Done as kick/swim (IMO)/pull with buoy by 25's
1 x Noah's Ark
Did the final 200 as loosen and out
(Masters/Rec/4600 yds/75 min)
That 150's set is great - a nice mix of pleasure and pain! The increasing easy effort is just the right recovery, and I did back to help keep my shoulders stretched out.
Just got home from an exhange post-arrival orientation for #2 at the school, with the 17 area host families. Good info and I think that the kids enjoyed getting together. I liked the food from different nations as each student made a dish from home. We're about to leave for a German dinner to support the area food and fuel fund, and to give #2 a taste of home.
Last night I was able to check out ourtown's latest attempt at a Guiness World Record for the largest peanut butter cup. 229 pounds! Pieces were then sold off to raise move for PAVE, the Project Against Violent Encounters that supports women in leaving abusive situations.

Had another great class last night, although I was a bit behind the curve since I missed last week altogether. I'm thankful to be able to take college Bible classes so close to home.
200 Fr/200 Bk/200 IM drill
4 x
-100 kick with board
- 300 Swim (focus on middle 100)
2 x
- 4 x 50 on :45 Quarter's Strong
- 1 x 50 ez Back

(Solo/Rec/2800 yds/50 min)
Busy day to finish out here (soccer game, meeting a friend, Kid's Club through church, beholding perhaps the largest peanut butter cup in the world, and maybe the tail end of the hs football game). The rest of the weekend looks pretty booked already as well.
I was able to pound the pavement again today and went for 2.3 mile run in just over 24 minutes this morning. I was not really feeling like it, but since I didn't run on Tues due to the (scrubbed) OW swim on Wed, I pushed myself out the door. It worked out well, since I had time after some Rx Task Force stuff to knock out before going to the college for Chapel. Lena and I had lunch out, then I headed over to Lake Paran for an OW swim.
The weather the past week has been gorgeous, with hardly no precipitation and daytime highs in the low to mid 70's under almost fully sunny skies. Never happens on my vacations! haha I couldn't get into the normal parking lot above the beach due to construction, so I went the back way to the boat launch on the other side. No one was around at 2pm, so I ventured into the water.
"Cold" I thought as I tried to splash some water on my body. After my belly button dipped below, "wicked cold." I reserved myself just to swim to the beach, where I measured the temperature. 58 degrees. I could tell it was under 60 since I swam heads-up free the whole way. Since I didn't turn into a popsicle on the way over, I worked at keeping control of my breathing and went to the far northern edge, aiming for a beautiful red-leaved tree. I finally got over the "ice-cream" headache after eight minutes, but then my neck was super stiff. I expected this, but not the discomfort for as long as it lasted (about 15 minutes). No wonder other endurance athletes use warm water drips around their necks!
As I circled back to the launch, I was startled by some orbs of green globs in places. The water is shallower in that area, and I don't need any help getting freaked out in the OW. (I still think of that "Jason" clip Tim posted last year with dread, especially when I swim alone.) I made it back to the area of the van, then did a smaller loop. Oddly, there was an older lady, in her 70's, doing breaststroke near the beach. Back and forth she went. Cool.
So, to test my cold water tolerance, I made it 0.91 miles in 58 degree water in just over 30 minutes. That temp is 4 degrees colder than my previous low. Like the limbo, I'll try it again next week, as long as Jason stays away.
Well, OW swim was scrubbed.
Oh well, I really appreciate that Greg was up to paddling for me, even though he didn't have to
So, I went to the Rec and did:
200 Fr/200 Bk/200 IM drill/4 x 50 burst and cruise on 1:00
4 x 200 on 2:40 pull with snorkel and agility paddles
4 x 100 on 1:50 (odds = kick, evens = back)
4 x 200 on 3:00 (1st 50 stroke, IMO by rep)
200 float and out
(Solo/Rec/300 yds/60 min)
Made the first round of 200's, then started to feel less than wonderful and decided to get out even though I had an extra 15 minutes to play with.
Looks like the tentative date for New England SCM champs at BU is 12/13-15, and I have to work. Will try to swap a weekend, but that will not be easy so close to Christmas.
Dropped the "new" old van off at the mechanic - it's a 2001Honda Odyssey (yes, I finally juked the old gray van) with 107k miles and overdue for a timing belt/water pump change. I biked from the shop to the college and did some more tiling, taking a break for Tuesday Chapel (a great thing to take in during the day). One bathroom is now 75% complete, the other ~55%; both floors of the college are still using one bathroom in the teacher's lounge. After school let out, I watched another of exchange student 1's soccer games (oh, Preston's team lost yesterday, although he played great). Biked home, totaling 2.6 miles.
After supper I made it to Masters with GregJS, doing:
- 200 Swim/200 Kick/200 Pull
- 4 x 50 Burst and Cruise on 1:00
3 x
- 2 x 75 on :15 SR (kick/swim/pull) (did these on 1:15)
- 100 AFAP into
- 150 choice loosen
10 x 50 on :15SR (did these on :55)
- 25 drill/25 swim
- odds = free, evens = non-free
( I squeaked in 200 extra for the night)
(Masters/Rec/2700 yds/55 min)
If I get the van back tomorrow, Greg is going to paddle for an OW swim I would like to do. If I don't get the van by 11am, I'll have to call it off. You'll have to wait until tomorrow's post to find out ...

I was dragging yesterday and this morning, even going back to bed after dropping the kids off at school. Went for a walk with my wife to do some errands downtown, then I hopped in for a swim.

Kinda figured I'd feel like crud in the water, too. I was going to repeat the main set with the shorter distances, but given my energy level and the hot water streaming in through the jets, I called it a day. Off to see my son's football game later this afternoon.
Updated January 5th, 2014 at 05:48 PM by rxleakem
Missed a run yesterday, and was able to enjoy sleeping in a bit today and making pancakes with the kids before heading to Masters practice. Greg and Kevin where there, and Gail joined us for a bit doing her own thing.
4 x 100 on :20sr
4 x 50 kick on :20 sr
4 x 50 pull with buoy on :20sr
Main set:
- 2 x 200 on :20sr (50 no-free) - I did 250s
- 4 x 100 on :20sr (last 25 FAST) - I did 125s
- 1 x 400 (long and strong) - I did 500
- 4 x 100 on :20sr (even pace) - I did 5 on 1:25, went 1:04 on the last one
12 x 25 on :40 (I worked uSDK on odds)
200 loosen and out
(Masters/Rec/3300 yds/65 min)
Good practice, with a main set style that the guys like. They were happy not to be staring down 50 x 25's again to finish off the set!
After practice I jogged over to meet my wife at our friend's house. I didn't end up running yesterday, so took the opportunity to sneak one in today. They are heading down to Victoria, Virginia, so I think some pool tourism might happen when we venture down that way. I jogged home, completing a 1.8 mile loop in about 17 minutes.
We gathered up the kids and went apple picking, a neat adventure to share with the exchange kids during a spectacular day! After supper I got a small campfire going and we had smores, with my mother-in-law joining us. After a dip in the hot tub I'm ready to crash!
Crazy couple of days at work, so I am happy to have a long weekend leading into next week off for another staycation. Planning for a long OW swim next week, which should help to right my struggling GTD.
200 FR/200 IM drill/4 x 50 burst and cruise on :55

Fall colors are starting to come alive here in southern Vermont, with the promise of another beautiful foliage display for us to enjoy for a short season. I hear the warm, freshly made apple cider doughnuts calling my name!
Went for another job before exchange student one's soccer game yesterday, 2.17 miles in 28 minutes. Felt a little tightness across my left knee to start, but it eased up and I felt pretty good. Still no major residual leg fatigue or soreness the next day, so my plan is to keep up with jogging every four days.
Got into the pool tonight after supper for Masters swim. Just me and GregJS again tonight for:
300 Swim/200 pull/100 kick (did 250 pull)
12 x 100 on :15 sr (did 15 on 1:30)
- 75 swim, 25 kick no board
5 minutes extra here, so we did some pulling with buoy:
I did 350 (Greg rocked out 300)
10 x 50 on 1:00
- 25 Kick/25 swim
7-10 = EZ (warmdown)
(Masters/Rec/3000 yds/60 min)
It was great to get back into the water tonight. We were cranking along with the main set, and used the extra time to get some pulling in. My plan is to get wet again on Friday and Saturday.
200 Fr/200 IM drill
200 Shark Swim
200 Loosen and out
(Solo/Rec/1000 yds
Easy swim before work*today.* I ended up doing some more exercising after my swim yesterday - went for a*1.7mile*jog and biked 2.6 miles after my*1.7mileswim... That is perhaps as close to a*triathlon*as I'll ever get!* My legs aren't too trashed*today, and although my knees ached last night they are fine now.* I'm thinking of adding in some jogging a couple of times a week (mind you, I jog for two-three blocks, then walk for a couple at this point).* We'll see how long this insanity plays out* ...
Waited at the door this morning for the building to open, and was planning for a long continuous swim, but ended up doing ...

- odds = kick with board on 1:50

8 x 25 on :30, done as:
- odds = EZ back
- evens = IMO Fast
100 loosen and out
(Solo/Rec/3050 yds/55 min)
The lane was empty so I decided to mix it up. The 100's set was ok through #6, but I held on to finish it out. The 50's set was tough on the last round, but I went for it - amazing to see what my times are at this point in the season (fast ones :31-32), but I am confident that with some more base and speed work those will dip down under :30. I'm going to try to get up before work tomorrow to swim, and then again on Sunday in a lake if I can make time.

Nice stretch-out swim before work, on my wife's birthday
I notice a mobile version of the website as I type, which is probably related to the forums being down for a bit on Friday. I don't see the column of recent comments to the right anymore, and I can't add categories to this post. I'll play around with this for a bit ...
Nice to sleep in a bit this morning, then head to Masters practice after a delightful raspberry smoothie. The guard was a few minutes late, so Greg, Kevin, and I took a quick sauna before practice. The dry-erase boards that I write workouts on were found, and I skipped the planned one for today when I saw the hybrid stop-watch workout from just before shut-down and thought it would be fun to do again. Note that Vanna White was not available, but we have a satisfactory replacement here in SoVT:
So the sets are predetermined, but the number of reps is not. Since I don't have the time to make a full stop-watch plan out, we just used Greg's watch and the hundredth spot to determine that. I was able to sneak in an extra 50 kick before heading into the main set of 9 x 100 and 61 x 25's! I did 150s's, and announced some mercy for the crew IF we could all descend #4-6 of the 100's. I did them as 100 IM into 50 Free, and went 2:05, 2:00, 1:55, joining them in success and dropping the 25's to just 50. We had to move the last 8 to :30 in order to complete the set on time, and we got out just at noontime.
(Masters/Rec/3700 yds/85 min)
A fun workout! I got home in time to help the girls with peeling apples (from our yard) in preparation for pies, which we devoured tonight. I also finished digging the potatoes up, and picked some grapes. Not a good year for grapes, but these seasons happen. After mowing the lawn I was able to join my neighbor for a motorcycle ride, capping a busy day.
Busy couple of days at work (and I went to NEBC for the last hour of class after work last night), so I was happy to get into the pool today at lunchtime after my dentist appointment this morning. Stress relief (well, the swimming bit, not the dentist)!
Did 4 x 600, as:
- 200 Fr/200 IM drill/4 x 50 b/c (6/8/10/12) on :60
- 6 x 10 on 1:30 (with snorkel: 50 kick/50 pull)
- 4 x 150 on 2:00 (agility paddles 1-3, fast on 4 (went 1:49)
- 3 x 200 on 3:00 (loosen and out)
(Solo/Rec/2400 yds/60 min)
Did a fair bit of talking, including 3 x 5-7min breaks to catch up with folks I haven't seen since the end of July. I also have preliminary approval to host our third annual scy meet in April, so I am going to get rolling on that sooner than later. I hope
This is a bittersweet time of year for me. My wife's birthday in Monday, and this is the weekend of the annual Bennington Car Show , so there are lots of activities and old cars throughout town. Plus, the apple orchards are open, and we'll get to load up tomorrow with the exchange students to experience this delicious time of year.
Today also marks the eleventh anniversary of my dad passing away, so the rain that is falling today (it always does on this weekend!) is not doing much to help my melancholic mood. A high school friend of my dad supplies a great biography of my dad that Iove to look back on.
My dad was a dairy farmer, so was up before the sun and home well after dark to get two milkings of our 85-head herd complete, along with planting and reaping throughout the day. He tried his best to make it to our activities, especially swimming. We used to laugh at him as he attempted to do butterfly in the pond, but looking back it was a man that wanted to be involved and took our heclking in strive, I am sure knowing that now I can look back upon it knowing that he loved us so much that he would attempt it. Even after the ALS slowly robbed him of the ability to function, he made a point to "be there" for use, including my college graduation and things for my children, the only of his grandkids he was blessed to see.
Time to stand outside in the rain for a bit.

Save Fort Monroe
The Web page of an informal network of people who advocate a UNIFIED national monument or park to transform the split one at Fort Monroe, Virginia—the site of what the Civil War historian Edward Ayers once called "the greatest moment in American history."**Please see the final paragraph in a June 2011 Chronicle of Higher Education profile. Virginia officials finally acknowledged this "greatest moment" stature in a 2014 op-ed. The Web page you're reading is the original Website, created in 2006, of Citizens for a Fort Monroe National Park., a small, dedicated, public-excluding committee. Anybody can join Save Fort Monroe simply by supporting it. Welcome. Let's hear from you: SaveFortMonroe[[[at]]]gmail[[[dot]]]com
THE SITUATION FOR 2017Twelve years into the struggle forAmerica's premier site for memory ofDespite Gov. McAuliffe's promise in 2014, the national monument/park remains unconscionably split so developers can build condos in the red area:
(You can easily extract and circulate a copy of this illustration.)Fort Monroe, Virginia, looks across the lower Chesapeake Bay, over Hampton Roads harbor, deep into four centuries of America's past, and -- if America makes sensible post-Army use of it -- far into the coming centuries. A National Park Service map uses light green to indicate the two parts of the split national monument recently established there. But if it's true that Fort Monroe saw American history's greatest moment, that bifurcation is self-evidently preposterous. It's like marring Monticello with hillside development. Here, red has been added to show the sense-of-place-defining bayfront space that needs to be incorporated into the national monument to transform it from fake to real. [more]
Pretext for the condos? Public financial necessity. It's bogus. It presumes America so third-rate that it can't even respect a national treasure worthy of designation as a World Heritage site—worthy of having this fake, split national monument become a real Freedom's Fortress National Park. That worthiness shows in many ways:
* Three-minute video tour
* Essay by Henry Louis Gates Jr.
* New York Times feature
* Richmond Times-Dispatch op-ed
* "Fixing a Fake National Monument"
"Squandering" Fort Monroe? The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot warns against it. Virginia's largest-circulation newspaper and others support unification of the split national monument/park:
* Gov. Terry McAuliffe
* National Parks Conservation Association
* Civil War Trust
* Virginia League of Conservation Voters
* Washington Post letter (the second of a pair)
* Many additional organizations call for parkland in the red area, often expressing hope for eventual national stewardship
Public enrichment? Yes, in every sense: economic, historical, recreational, environmental, cultural.
Historic Diamond? Yes. Elevate Virginia's Historic Triangle by giving it a fourth node that tells the rest of America's founding story—the part when we at least began trying to live up to the principles in the Declaration of Independence.
Condos on Monticello's hillsides? No, and not in the wrong places at Fort Monroe either.
Factual blunders at the developer-kowtowing Daily Press? Yep. Still never corrected, but often recycled.
Flooding? Wetlands Watch formally criticized the plan to overdevelop low-lying, ocean-facing Fort Monroe, and on its blog even called the plan "stupid." The Union of Concerned Scientists warns that flooding threatens—and that long before condos were even contemplated, Hurricane Isabel brought Fort Monroe a tenth of a billion dollars in damage.
If you want the national monument unified in something like the way that's suggested by the red area in the illustration above, you're a member of the informal network Save Fort Monroe. You can take action:
* Please "like" the Save Fort Monroe Facebook page and promote it whenever you can.
* Please join the Save Fort Monroe e-mail list by sending your e-address to SaveFortMonroe[[[at]]]gmail.com. (Your e-address won't be used often, and won't be used for anything except Fort Monroe.)
* Please take every opportunity to promote unification of the split national monument via social media, letters to the editor, online comments, and personally contacting Virginia journalists as well as politicians at all levels. They talk to each other!
* Please contact Gov. McAuliffe and encourage him to act on his stated belief that Fort Monroe should be unified. Be sure to stipulate: not token unification via a mere "green connector," but real unification—from Buckroe down to the fortress and from Mill Creek across to the bay. (Ask him to consult the illustration on this Web page!)

Nataliya Rusetskaya, Ph.D., LCSW,
132 Washington st, Suite 301, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030
Currently I work with individuals and couples to create a therapeutic alliance of trust and safety, to gain better insights about their life challenges, and to assist the clients in reaching their goals and connect better with their loved ones through improved communication patterns and increased intimacy. with couples I use Imago, elements of EFT, Psychosexual therapy. My therapeutic approach also combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, REBT (Rational-Emotive Behavioral Therapy), and Gestalt Therapy, ISTDP (Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy) with incorporated elements of mindfulness and Focusing techniques
Konstantin Lukin, Ph.D.
Clinical Psychologist
223 Bloomfield Street, suite 107, Hoboken, New Jersey 07030
Psychotherapists at the Lukin Center are trained in several treatment styles, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and emotionally focused therapy (EFT), both of which are widely researched and have been shown to be effective for many clients. CBT is a structured treatment that helps clients change their thoughts and actions in order to change their attitudes and beliefs and meet their life goals. EFT was developed for couples and adapted for families. Through this treatment, the therapist helps the couple or family identify maladaptive patterns in members' interactions with one another and replace them with healthier, adaptive interactions in which everyone feels supported.

True healing—deep healing—begins with understanding the impact of psychological forces and their frictions in our lives—families, ancestry, schools, cultures, friends, and work. This recognition is the catalyst for your own natural healing process and the core of my approach. I am trained in a number of models of healing, including Internal Family Systems Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Gestalt Therapy and Intuitive Healing and other techniques. I apply these techniques individually and in combination according to the needs of my clients, to help them become better parents, to deepen their intimate relationships and flourish as healthy individuals.
Kevin Fleming Ph.D.

Manhattan, New York 10001
James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Licensed Psychologist
19 West 34th St., Penthouse, New York, New York 10001
I look at thoughts and feelings what is important to you to give you a clearer approach to your path in life and what may be getting in the way. You may have an idea of how you want to be helped, and I will formulate a specific idea of how I can best help you. The reason that I like doing this kind of therapy is it is deep work that can be life changing.
Tania Suarez, MSEd, LMHC, NCC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
352 7th Avenue, Suite 1001 , New York , New York 10001
As we take care of our physical health by going for annual check-ups, exercising, and eating well, we must also place priority on our mental health. It is equally important and mind and body are connected. As a psychotherapist, I can guide you through a process of self-exploration and personal growth so you are able to become more aware of your patterns of thought, emotions, and behaviors. This self-awareness will empower you to change in the ways you want so you can lead and live a more fulfilling life.

244 5th Ave. Suite 9G, New York, New York 10001
People come to psychotherapy for different reasons: relationship or career issues, depression, anxiety, grief, or even because of a feeling that something isn't quite right, or life could be better. I offer short-term work for symptom relief, but also work longer term if you are interested in deeper exploration and more profound change. These two modes of working are not mutually exclusive and both can lead to enhanced self-understanding, improved relationships and also help work through issues arising from a challenging social or familial environment.
Lauren Rigney, MS, LMHC, NCC, DCC, ACS
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
352 7th Avenue, Suite 1201, New York, New York 10001
You will learn about yourself from a holistic perspective - the way your mind, body, and emotions interact from moment to moment. I will work with you to create and individualized treatment program that works on changes you want to make in your life. The relationship we build will help provide a space for healing and safe exploration into things that are difficult for you to talk about, face, or accept. Counseling is a team effort. Together we will integrate your strengths with your vision for yourself. You will learn skills to help you cope with difficult problems or emotions.
Maggie Vaughan, LMFT, PhD
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist; Psychotherapist
330 W. 58th St, Suite 203, New York, New York 10019
Dr. Vaughan believes that psychotherapy can benefit anyone. Clients pursue therapy for a wide variety of reasons. Some simply want an objective, non-judgmental, and trustworthy source of support and feedback, while others seek tools for working through crises. Therapy with Dr. Vaughan is engaging and active. The particular goals of psychotherapy are chosen by the client. Some examples of goals include personal growth and self-actualization, increased life satisfaction, improved relationships, greater self-confidence, effective stress management, and reduced anxiety and depression. Dr. Vaughan emphasizes that no problem is too big or small, common or rare, to be addressed in therapy.
Bennett Pologe, Ph.D.
330 west 58th street - suite 601, new york, New York 10019
I've been doing this over a quarter century and it always comes down to this: When you identify - and feel - what happens inside you, what happens between you and others, and what happened that you're not fully remembering or respecting, you feel better and function better. I've seen this happen across all types of people, all ages, and all kinds of problems that bring them into treatment. Of course, along the way I can help you with whatever person, boss, spouse, decision, or personality quirk (yours or theirs) that's irking you, but the real change and the real excitement come from that kind of discovery. Try it and see.

Elsevier is Improving Quality, Efficiency of Healthcare with "Smart Content" for Next-Generation Clinical Decision Support
Enriching and providing unprecedented levels of access to content can drive smarter healthcare applications, improve data delivery, increase efficiency and enhance patient care quality
Enriching and providing unprecedented levels of access to content can drive smarter healthcare applications, improve data delivery, increase efficiency and enhance patient care quality
Philadelphia, PA, 17 February, 2011 – To improve healthcare quality while reducing costs, Elsevier, a global leader in medical and health information, will unveil the next generation of clinical decision support (CDS) featuring Smart Content at the annual meeting of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), Feb. 20–24, 2011, in Orlando, Fla.
While fragmented information systems, poor communication and high costs still plague healthcare, Elsevier's world-class information and point-of-care technology solutions optimize decisions and actions to improve the overall quality, safety and cost-effectiveness of care. Smart Content – medical research, knowledge, education and data optimized for greater usability by providers and payers– will improve care quality and safety even further.
"Advancing healthcare quality begins with providing clinicians with the best, most current evidence-based information wherever and whenever it is needed," said Michael Hansen, CEO, Elsevier Health Sciences. "Providing unprecedented levels of access to our rich content assets will lead to better decision-making and ultimately to better, more effective and efficient patient care."
Providers and payers are working hard to respond to the national push to form accountable care organizations and to qualify for meaningful use incentives. Elsevier Clinical Decision Support (CDS) supports those efforts by delivering actionable clinical content, care planning and documentation, drug reference and decision support, learning and performance management, data mining and analytic solutions for provider, pharmacy and payer organizations – all of which is enhanced through the innovation of Smart Content.
"Smart Content affects clinicians across the healthcare spectrum by ensuring that evidence-based information is delivered in a clear, actionable form that is tailored to the task at hand," explained Jonathan Teich, M.D., Ph.D., and Chief Medical Informatics Officer for Elsevier. "We are making significant investments in new technologies and methods to re-engineer the way that knowledge is stored, mapped and delivered for ever-greater precision and impact. This new generation of clinical decision support will enhance the value of the electronic health record, point-of-care reference, enterprise analytics and other aspects of the digital healthcare workflow."
Special Analyst-Media Event
In addition to presentations and demonstrations at the Elsevier booth (#2541), analysts and media at HIMSS will learn more about how 'Smart Content Drives Smart Applications – The Future of Using Knowledge in Healthcare,' at a special Breakfast Briefing on Tuesday, Feb. 22. Elsevier will demonstrate how the next generation of CDS will improve quality, safety and efficiency, enhancing how data and evidence that is selected and delivered to clinicians will help clinicians produce better, faster diagnoses and more effective treatments. RSVP online here.

I need to pass args to ant for it to pass them to my main class.
Of course tags are great.
I've also testes 'ant -Dname=val' syntax.
1) i have NO name for my attributes (and don't want to create one)
2) my main class needs to treat some args while running, so i need to pass them to ant and ant pass them to my main.
3) i DON'T know how many args and what args i pass. It depends.
It is often files.
for ex: i pass to my main : java mymain file1 file2 file3 file4
but sometimes there are 6 or 7 files !
So i don't see how to use in that case.
To make it simpler, what i want to do is to run ant like this :
ant runMyMain file1 file2 ... filen
Then in build, i'm looking for the command to say :
all args are passed to the main file WHATEVER they are and whatever its number is.
so... something like this :
Is there a way to do this ?
Thanks by advance.

Worth every coin! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 5th, 2010
The reference book for coin magic. No magician should be without this book. At under $10, this is a gold mine of material. The book is appropriately broken down into chapters that go from the basic sleights to most major facets of coin magic. You start with the foundations of coin magic, the utility switches, the vanishes, and the palms.3 of 3 magicians found this helpful.
There are literally hundreds of tricks to choose from in this tome so plan on spending a lot on time on the varied chapters. Aside from the excellent basic teaching of palms, switches and vanishes, you get chapters transpositions, color changes, gaffed coins, shells, sleeving, and finally full routines such as the Miser's Dream. My favorite are the copper/silver tricks and there is some amazing, in-the-spectator's hand transpositions.
A few downsides to this fabulous book. First, the book is no longer "modern" as some of text is from a by-gone era. Largely, the text translates well into modern patter and attire. Second, a lot of the new, types of coin gaffs are not covered by this book. Overall, this book could keep you busy for years.
Hard to Beat at 25 Cents a Trick Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 23rd, 2015
What else can be said about Bobo? If you're a magician and don't have this book, get it. If you're not a magician but want to be, get it. It's the go-to encyclopedia, handbook, and manual of coin magic and has been for some time. It could easily take a lifetime to learn all of the material.
If you want to learn magic and think coin tricks are hokey and 'uncle charlie', get this book. It's true that coin magic is on it's way out because coins aren't worth any money anymore, but the same techniques will work for finger rings or matchbooks or even lit tea candles in some cases. I even had a little plastic lizard I played around with. It's the basic toolkit for doing sleight of hand with small, flat objects.
It was first published in the 50's and the illustrations and writing style are loaded with period charm. I love the mischievous looks on the magicians' faces. Even if you don't plan on learning the tricks it's still a cool book to have and flip through, and for 8.50 you can't go wrong.
EXCELLENT Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 25th, 2015
This the BEST book written on coin magic. The descriptions are east to follow and the illustrations are good. This is a book I refer to often. I am happy to have it in my collection.
OK but not Great. Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 30th, 2011
This book is a good read and there is something for everyone and im sure you can get something from it, but lets face it it is hard to learn coin magic from a book. It just does'nt work for me. I would probably say get this because it is not exspensive and the basics are taught well, but if you are advanced in coin magic then I say there are other things you could buy. When it comes down to it though this book was a pretty big dissapointment.

I like how everything is very detailed I like to see all the different teachings in the make your own gimmick's section. A lot of sleight's are introduced but they are the one's you need some didn't make the cut because they weren't revelant so you know you got a very good product.

Hi! This is your official PenguinMagic reviewer, B_Magic.
If you are into coin magic, this book is an absolute MUST BUY. THIS IS "THE" BOOK ON COIN MAGIC. Add to cart.
This book has been in my library for years, and it continues to be a constant source of great information and magic for me. There's not much to say but that there is no other resource on coin magic that even rivals this book, and if you are into coins you just simply have to get this. It's an amazing book that can and will turn you into a coin master if you learn from it.
This book is essential. Just get it already!

I usually try to stay away from reviewing classic texts of magic, but this is a MUST. It doesn't matter how long you've been into magic for. You need this book. COin magic is almost all of what I do and I learned a ton from this book. A few of the tricks are a little outdated but others are really good and can work wonders for you. WIth a lot of them, you can grab a coin and do a full 20 minute show with it. Others might require 2 or 5 coins. Some use gimmicks, some aren't gimmicked. There is also a really nice miser's dream and historical section towards the back of the book. My favorite part is the Okito story, how it came to be. PLEASE BUY NOW!

While the term "sustainable" is often used to mean "green," companies can take a wide variety of sustainable actions that are not necessarily green, writes Mark Kozak. "Technology has provided many benefits from solar cell energy to electric cars to wind turbines but none of these things are 'natural,' " he adds. Another prevalent myth is that sustainability is expensive, but the truth is that it will save money over time, he writes.

Rebound efforts greatly faded late Friday, leaving stocks in mixed territory and on pace for weekly losses.
The Nasdaq lost 0.1% after rising as much as 1.3% intraday. The S&P 500 rose 0.2%, down from 1% at its session peak. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 0.1%. Turnover continued to tack sharply lower on both major exchanges in the stock market today
Even though the market turned mixed, BitAuto (BITA) held near its session high with an 8% gain. The stock has recouped a big chunk of Thursday's loss and climbed back above its 50-day line.
On the downside, some biotechs were under pressure.
Gilead Sciences (GILD) fell 3% and was on pace for its third straight loss. But the stock neared potential support at its 200-day moving average, which it has traded above since December 2011. Gilead has tumbled 19% since topping in late February.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN) fell 3% after giving up early gains. It turned tail after again hitting resistance at its 50-day line. The stock cleared a late-stage base last month, but fizzled after rising 10% past a 319.93 buy point. Late-stage patterns are more prone to fail.
Biogen Idec (BIIB) turned tail and fell 2% in fast trade. It has given up a 20% gain past a 298.92 buy point from a flat base in recent sessions.
