Item missing data is not uncommon in self-report surveys. The standard SF-12 scoring algorithm, however, is a weighted sum of the SF-12 items and requires answers to all 12 individual items in order to calculate PCS and MCS summary scores. However, missing items are likely to occur in any study that collects data by self-administration. Studies have shown that among patients with missing SF-12 items, approximately 50 percent have missing data on only one of the 12 items (Ware et al. 2002). Yet, by using the standard SF-12 scoring algorithm, even one missing item will yield missing data on the SF-12 PCS and MCS. The loss of observations because of missing SF-12 items can reduce analytical power, increase variation in parameter estimates, and potentially lead to bias, particularly when the SF-12 is the primary outcome of interest in a study. Therefore, an algorithm that can efficiently and accurately estimate PCS and MCS scores with partially missing SF-12 data would be valuable to researchers. Since the SF-12 PCS and MCS scores are directly weighted functions of SF-12 items, the amount of missing data will have a significant impact on the imputed value. Hence, the imputation algorithm may need to apply different models according to the degree of missingness. As the number of missing SF12 items increases, the available information and predicting power from SF-12 items diminishes. When the number of missing SF-12 items reaches a certain level, the available SF-12 items may no longer carry sufficient information to produce accurate parameter estimates of SF-12 PCS and MCS scores. In these situations, additional patient information may help in estimation. We applied a multi-pattern regression-based algorithm for imputing SF12 PCS and MCS scores. This algorithm fits different imputation models according to the amount of SF-12 information missing. These imputation models are either a function of the available SF-12 items alone, or are a function of the available SF-12 items plus additional patient characteristics. Through simulation analyses using baseline and follow-up data 2 years later, we have evaluated and validated the imputation algorithm.

Nearly seven million cosmetic procedures were performed in the U.S. in 2002, both surgical and non-surgical, according the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons — an increase of 228 percent from 1997. It is apparent that the great love between Americans and their appearance is one of the defining hallmarks of the national culture. The new partnership will combine the expertise of Dr. Zachary Papadakis and Dr. Mojgan Fajiram principals of the Cosmetic Implant Dentistry of Sutton Place, who have years of experience in cosmetic dentistry specializing in porcelain veneers, with Dr. Anthony LaBruna, Director of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at New York Presbyterian Hospital, Cornell University. Now, the doctors can perform everything from giving patients a new smile to having a nose job, tummy tuck, liposuction and/or breast implants. The doctors reported that New Yorkers want a certain look that is characterized by sophistication, culture and high fashion. We are very excited about this alliance, said Dr. Fajiram, one of the top women in the cosmetic dentistry profession. There are a wide variety of beauty makeover options thanks to modern plastic surgery and cosmetic dentistry procedures and now we can provide our patients with the very best care for a total makeover. According to the Cosmetic Implant Dentistry of Sutton Place the number of cosmetic dentistry procedures it has conducted has skyrocketed, doubling in number from 2001 to 2002.

A house in Hampstead that has hidden its north London origins behind a new Japanese personality, has just come on the market. Two adjoining houses in Fitzjohns Avenue were replanned and redesigned with specially selected materials. A stream runs along the full length of the properties (which are reached by means of a slatted bridge) and a sunken Japanese garden is filled with pebbles, ferns and bamboo. One of the houses only is for sale at an asking price of pounds 435,000 through Goldschmidt Howland (0171-435 4404). The main bedroom has a low-level custom-made Japanese platform bed and sliding shoji cupboards made from yellow rice paper. Housebuilders have just had their busiest month for two years and the prospects look good, according to the latest report for the House Builders Federation. New homes have increased their market share to almost 13 per cent from the 10 per cent at which they had been stuck since 1988. John Stewart, an independent housing economist and author of the report, says they are managing to fill a gap in the market because of sensitive prices and attractive marketing. “When I did some research with the Halifax we found a lack of confidence among intending homebuyers: they were not sure they would be able to sell their present homes. In buying a new home the hassle-free factor is very important,” he said. This bears out evidence from builders such as Barratt of a new breed of buyer at the top end of the market who, frustrated by the lack of good property available, is turning to developers for the first time. The success of Barratts award-winning development, Lakeside Grange, in Weybridge, Surrey, looks like being matched by its latest enterprise on the River Thames at Chiswick. At the recent opening of Royal Thames Crescent, all but three of the 19 five-bedroom houses and 13 two-bedroom apartments, with prices ranging up to pounds 600,000, have been sold.
More than Meets the Eye Risk managers dont have to satisfy a formal education requirement to get their jobs, but they still ought to be conversant with the content of insurance contracts. That familiarity, however, has a downside because it can be the source of a false sense of security. When they talk about appraisal under the terms of a property policy, textbooks, instructional materials and, instructors have, always had a tendency to presume that the parties have resolved all coverage issues before they resort to appraisal. Thats probably the effect of common sense lurking in the subconscious and exerting a powerful influence over what gets written or spoken. An appraisal is an expensive proposition and each party has to bear a share of the cost. Because the appraiser cant consider coverage issues, the thing to do is resolve them before incurring the expense of an appraisal. Thats just common sense.

Medieval alchemists unsuccessfully tried to turn lead into gold, but one international business transaction turned valuable lead into nothing, Peter Walker explains how the judges of the Court of Appeal dealt with the ensuing law case, and the facts provide a useful reminder for all credit managers, not just those dealing with overseas trade. This is the conclusion from a case where there were allegations of the tort of deceit and of breaches of the duty of care. In Niru Battery Manufacturing Co v Milestone Trading Ltd [2003] EWCA Civ 1446 a purchaser of lead for nearly US$6m was the subsidiary of an English company owned by a family discretionary trust. The seller, effectively controlled by a Mr. Mahdavi, a member of that family, was formed solely to enter into the particular transaction. The consignment was destined for Iran, and an Iranian bank opened a letter of credit at the same time as the seller was arranging the purchase from a Swedish warehouse. The seller would need warrants, documents of title, before it could take delivery for shipment, but first of all it needed finance.

THE CYPRUS QUESTION The idiocy of those who engineered the Greek coup was boundless. Nothing was more evident than that the Turks would welcome the move as a pretext to invade the island at a moment when sympathies for Greece (at that time under the Colonels) were at an all-time low. The Greek Cypriots fought valiantly, but they were overwhelmed by the Turkish army. Turkey and Greece would undoubtedly have come to war over Cyprus had it not been for 1) the fact that the Greek military junta responsible for the coup surrendered power a few days after the Turkish invasion, and 2) the pressure put on Turkey and Greece by their fellow NATO members. If Cyprus is ever to be reunited, some way will have to be found that is not strictly along democratic lines. Democracy means majority rule, and the Greek Cypriots, as one could expect, are all for it, as are the Protestants of Northern Ireland and the blacks of South Africa. But the Turkish Cypriots, understandably, wont accept such a governing formula.
Nicosia: The director of the Cyprus immigration service was remanded in custody yesterday in a corruption scandal involving cash for visas on the eastern Mediterranean holiday island. The issue has cast a harsh spotlight on the immigration department, already notorious for its sometimes harsh treatment of foreigners caught on the wrong side of the law in Cyprus.

Divx expects that the players and software will be available nationally no later than the beginning of October, said Josh Dare, Divx spokesman.Currently, Divxs presence in the market is limited to one player made by Zenith, sold only in the two initial markets.We will go national when the RCA players become available, Dare said.
DivX Inc (Nasdaq:DIVX), the company which created the DivX video compression technology, announced on Wednesday (10 January) the release of the new software application, DivX Author, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, USA. DivX Author is a key piece of the companys strategy to build a common media language that spans platforms and devices, as interactive DivX files are fully compatible with DivX Ultra Certified DVD players, so users can playback their videos beyond the PC in a real home theatre environment, said the CEO of DivX.
As was true of other studio announcements, Divx said agreement with Fox is multiyear, although Divx spokesman wouldnt discuss actual terms and how they might differ from studio to studio, other than to say deals with endorsing studios were negotiated individually. Divx officials also have avoided commenting on reports that studios have been offered upfront royalty guarantees of more than $25-$30 million each as incentives to join Divx bandwagon.As is case with other studio supporters, agreement with Fox gives Divx access to new Fox titles on day-and-date release with their VHS versions. Divx Chmn.-CEO Richard Sharp was quoted as mentioning Alien Resurrection, The Edge and The Full Monty as 3 upcoming Fox new releases to be available on Divx, but Fox spokesman said those were meant only to be illustrative of repertoire to come. Spokesman also wouldnt say what catalog titles are planned on Divx and responded with no comment when asked about persistent trade reports that studio is on verge of launching open DVD as well.Fox and Paramount now are only major studios that havent yet remounted commitment to launch open DVD. Only majors that arent doing Divx are Warner and Columbia TriStar. Other 2 majors, Disney and Universal, have committed to both formats.

Home remodeling is a chic business with the potential for big bucks. Since television networks began marketing the fruitful industry with makeover programs, popularity grew and business skyrocketed. In 2003, more than $233 billion was spent on remodeling projects, a 5.2 percent increase from the year before, according to a report from Harvard Universitys Joint Center for Housing Studies. Even though a colossal amount was spent, the potential for return investment is vast.

Health is a measure of quality of life that is difficult to define and measure. In the 1940s, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. At the first International Conference on Health Promotion in Ottawa, Canada (1986), the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion built on the WHOs concept and further defined health as a resource for everyday life. a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capabilities. Good health enables one to function independently within a changing environment.

“We worked with the designers to select window coverings that would enhance
their d#233;cor; this is a service we offer to all of our customers. It was
rewarding to work with the professionals at Ladies Home Journal and see
our work in print,” said Nathan Newton, owner of Shutter Classic.

An arched window situated just above the garden tub in this master bath left the space bathed in light but devoid of privacy. The homeowners-Elaine and Bob Jackson of Alpharetta, Georgia-wanted the sense of seclusion without losing the natural light and airy ambience provided by the window. A pair of custom-built louvered shutters proved perfect for the window. The Georgian Company, a local shutter shop, measured and designed the shutters for the Jacksons bath. “The critical part of interior shutters is the measuring and knowing how youre going to hang them,” says the shops owner, Bob Gard. “If theyre measured right, they fit like a glove,” he explains. The shutters mount inside the window frame. An outside mount is preferable if you want your windows to appear bigger or if you want to hide an unattractive one, while an inside mount gives a more finished appearance.

TORONTO — UOMO Media Inc. (OTCBB:UOMO), a multi-channel entertainment and media company, today announced the launch of its recorded music division, UOMO Recorded Music. The division is tasked with growing UOMOs catalogue of music master recordings through acquisitions as well as the signing of individual artists. UOMO Recorded Music will find opportunities to monetize these rights by selling artists albums, placing songs in films, television, video games and commercials.
TODAY MARKS a significant anniversary in the history of recorded music. It was on this date in 1948 that CBS engineer Peter Goldmark demonstrated the first long-playing 33 rpm record — a development that revolutionized the music industry. In keeping with the occasion, I thought it might be fitting today to offer a few other bits of recorded-music trivia.. All the way back in the mid-1600s, a French author named Savinien de Bergerac wrote a fantasy tale about a trip to the moon — which included a description of a phonograph and earphones.
EMI Recorded Music and Imhotech Inc., creator of MusicTabs, a
Web-based software application for music promotion, announced that
they have entered into an agreement to work together to use MusicTabs
to market and promote EMI artists to radio. In addition to providing the radio programmer with the ability to
experience new music through audio, video, graphics and text,
MusicTabs provides a rich back-end of communications tools to aid the
records to radio dialogue. Using MusicTabs, radio programmers can
request interviews, contests and artist drops. Record label reps
have access to radio station activity, comments and opinions.
Rounding out the set of tools is TabNotes, an e-mail style messaging
service exclusive to users in records and radio.”Communicating with radio is a key part of EMI artists development,”
said Jay Samit, Senior Vice President of New Media, EMI Recorded
Music. ” Imhotechs Music Tabs system, allows us to have instant
dialog with radio programmers worldwide.”

Anne Wilkes Tucker, Dana Friis-Hansen, Kaneko Ryuichi, and Takeba Joe. The History of Japanese Photography. New Haven: Yale University Press in association with the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 2003. Includes essays by Iizawa Kotaro and Kinoshita Naoyuki. 432 pp., 356 color ills., 50 b/w. $65. In her introductory essay, Anne Wilkes Tucker, Curator of Photography at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, provides a historical context for the catalogue through a survey of Western publications on and exhibitions of Japanese photography. As Tucker points out, the history of Japanese photography has had a relatively short existence as a field of study in its own right, even within Japan. It was not until well after World War II that the discipline garnered much serious interest and not until the 1980s that widespread institutional support allowed for significant advances in research. Since the 1970s, the work of Japanese photographers has been featured in a number of exhibitions and books in both Japan and the West. However, much of the focus has been on post-World War II photography. The most comprehensive English-language publication to date was A Century of Japanese Photography, 1840-1945, a translation of a 1971 Japan Photographers Professional Society volume, published in 1980 with an introductory essay by John W. Dower. It is worth noting that even within Japan an exhibition covering the scope of the Houston show has never been organized. Tucker articulates the need for a nation-based survey of Japan, an issue sure to be a main point of contention among critics of this text. Asserting that most Japanese photography recognized in the West has been assimilated into an international frame of reference that pays little attention to the national traditions and contemporary context from which it arose (2). Tucker argues that such interpretations limit understanding and needlessly [diminish] the levels on which the work may be approached (13). The catalogue presents a standard chronological survey in six essays by five noted scholars. Kinoshita Naoyuki, Professor of Cultural Studies at Tokyo University, examines the second half of the nineteenth century in The Early Years of Japanese Photography. Portraits and landscape comprised the earliest genres, along with the scenic views and contrived images of Japanese customs made for Western audiences, while later uses included documenting frontier expansion and collections of national treasures. Kinoshita highlights some uniquely Japanese uses of photography as well. These included the promotion of the study of photography by Japanese authorities during the 1850s and 1860s as one of many branches of Western technology to be mastered in order to modernize the country (22-23), and photographic portraits as replacements for miei, traditional painted portraits of the deceased (27).
The photography collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston is a nationally recognized assemblage of over 20,000 photographs by approximately 3000 artists that encompasses dozens of major collections.

As Gemstar-TV Guide International Inc. re-launches a bigger version of its television programming guide, the company faces rising legal costs associated with a Securities and Exchange Commission inquiry of its former officers. Several former officers, including founder Henry Yuen, are under investigation by the SEC for inflating licensing revenues. The trial has been put on hold as both sides battle over whether their severance payments may be frozen. For the April-June period, Gemstar reduced legal expenses by $5.8 million to $600,000. But the company also filed a complaint last month against its former insurance carriers alleging they have failed to pay claims filed under its policies.
The report also noted that the countys payouts in medical malpractice lawsuits dropped from $15 million to $9 million and general liabilities fell from $41 million to $13 million.

Certainly not a remarkable lady called Anne Scheiber, whose exploits in the stock market have just come to light. For those of you who may have missed the story, this is the lady who spent her working life as a tax clerk in the Internal Revenue Service (the American equivalent of our Inland Revenue) and who took up investing only in her fifties. Armed only with her meagre income, and despite being completely untutored in the finer arts of investment, Miss Scheiber was so successful at investing her modest spinsters mite that when she died earlier this year at the age of 101, she had turned her initial savings of $5,000 into a fortune worth no less than $22m. Her dividend income alone came to $750,000 a year by the time of her death, completely dwarfing anything she had earned in her working life. It is a remarkable story from which one can draw several morals. One is the obvious one that so-called experts have no prerogative on wisdom when it comes to investing in the stock market. Common sense and application can take you a long way. In Miss Scheibers case, her success stemmed from following some simple rules - investing in a limited number of well established companies that have a strong business franchise and the ability to generate significant amounts of cash now. Her biggest holdings were in proven cashgenerators such as Coca-Cola and the drugs company Bristol- Meyers Squibb. A second, related, moral is that it pays to be patient. Putting money into smaller, more speculative companies will often generate bigger returns in the short run, but for those willing to take a long-term view, there is nothing to beat buying shares in consistent money-spinners that have the capacity to pay handsome dividends. The returns over time can be just as big, and the risks are much reduced, particularly if you have personal knowledge of the company and what it does.
The sheer growth and diversity of the market has created problems for investors, including those who already have a portfolio of PEPs and those standing on the brink of investing Personal equity plans have proved to be a popular investment choice, offering scope for capital and income growth free of income and capital gains tax. Over pounds 20bn has been invested in some 5 million PEPs since their introduction in January 1987, and with over 1,000 on the market, investors have a bewildering array to choose from.
That, in essence, is the conventional argument on where the private shareholder stands. According to Sir Mark Weinberg, chairman of a committee set up by the Stock Exchange to examine whether the private investor is a dying breed, there is some truth in all this. But his committees report, published last month, predictably got a poor press, with most commentators saying that he had failed to come up with enough specific recommendations to reverse the trend. Sir Marks real offence seems to have been that he failed to criticise strongly enough the Stock Exchanges new rule allowing companies to exclude private investors from most new issues if they so choose. It was this decision which originally prompted the setting up of the committee. In addition, he said it was largely up to the financial services industry, rather than the Government or the Stock Exchange, to come up with ways of tempting more private shareholders back into the fold. Neither conclusion was guaranteed to win any plaudits from a constituency which prefers decisive-looking actions to well-meant words, and which has long marked the Stock Exchange down, not entirely without justice, as an enfeebled and not very effective organisation. Yet, in my view, Sir Mark is largely right on both counts. In fact, I would go further in saying that the outlook for private shareholding is probably brighter now than it has been for some time - partly because of new technology, and partly because of the recent changes in the financial services industry, which have introduced much more effective competition.

CHICAGO — Now attorneys have help in understanding motive or explaining neuropsychological factors in civil and criminal cases with a new book that outlines, in detail, evidence-based testing and analysis techniques to understand patient behavior. Testing for brain damage in personal injury, disability, or workers compensation cases can be complicated, explains Heilbronner. Attorneys who read the case studies will understand when and how to use the expertise of an independent clinical neuropsychologist. Very often, an early neuropsychological evaluation of the client can help the attorney to prepare their case strategy. Plaintiffs often exaggerate or even fake pain or brain damage, often to the point of obvious malingering, observes Heilbronner. This book demonstrates practical tests that can validate claims of injury so the attorney can avoid wasting time on frivolous cases.
Attorney Chris Wright was representing a client in a medical negligence case in Kansas City. A perforation of the womans bowel had led to blood clots and strokes. The defense argued that the plaintiff had since recovered: She was walking and talking. Because the woman was retired, her injuries didnt affect her employment. But during the deposition, Wright noticed what the womans family had told him: His client suffered short-term memory loss.

Just as lead in products made in China has become big news, California regulators are preparing to crack down on the makers and distributors of jewelry sold in the state found to contain lead. The state Department of Toxic Substances Control is in charge of enforcing this law. In a posting on the agencys Web site, officials said they have already begun stepping up enforcement, both responding to consumer or worker complaints and conducting marketplace surveillance. However, the department wont be looking at dozens of companies that last year reached an agreement with then-Attorney General Bill Lockyer to limit lead content in the jewelry they make or sell. Major retailers including Saks Inc.; Liz Clairborne Inc.: Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corp., Target Corp. and Sears Corp. signed on to the agreement, as did manufacturers like Arden Jewelry Manufacturing Co.

The story of golf is as much a tale about change as it is tales about great players miraculous shots and dramatic victories. Great players have been the constant in a game that has changed dramatically over the last 700 years. From wooden balls (prior to 1440) to feather-stuffed leather-covered balls known as “featheries” (1440 to 1848) to gutta percha balls made from the sap of trees indigenous to Malaysia (1848 to 1901) to rubber balls made from winding rubber thread around a solid rubber core (1901 to the present) to the solid core balls commonly used today the game has relentlessly evolved. And of course as balls changed so did clubs. The first clubs had shafts made of wood probably ash. Wood clubs had long broad heads while the irons tended to have large faces square toes and nicked sockets. Sometime during the feather ball period perhaps in the late 1770s club-making became profitable enough that artisans began taking up the craft. By the 1800s most shafts were made from ash or hickory while all sorts of woods–beech pear apple–were used to fashion the heads of wooden clubs. Depending on the course the number of holes also varied usually ranging from five to 18. The shape and size of club heads also regularly were changed in the early years of the game either to improve accuracy or increase distance or both. As time passed the number of clubs also increased: from two or three in the 1600s to four or five in the 1700s to five or six in the 1800s to eight or nine or even ten by the late 1900s. Today a normal set of clubs numbers 14 and can be made of materials with space age sounding names like graphic tungsten and titanium. Every year hundreds of companies produce thousands of variations of golf clubs in what appears to be a never-ending technological war all with the purpose of helping a golfer hit a little white ball toward a very small hole an awful long distance away.

AUTOMATIONThere are many different reasons to automate. Increased productivity is normally the major reason for many companies desiring a competitive advantage. Automation also offers low operational variability. Variability is directly related to quality and productivity. Other reasons to automate include the presence of a hazardous working environment and the high cost of human labor. Some businesses automate processes in order to reduce production time, increase manufacturing flexibility, reduce costs, eliminate human error, or make up for a labor shortage. Decisions associated with automation are usually concerned with some or all of these economic and social considerations.For small business owners, weighing the pros and cons of automation can be a daunting task. But consultants contend that it is an issue that should not be put off. We are creating a new ball game, wrote Perry Pascarella in Industry Week. Failure to take a strategic look at where the organization wants to go and then capitalizing on the new technologies available will hand death-dealing advantages to competitorstraditional and unexpected ones.

Angled work stations organize this remodeled kitchen, helping to disguise its disproportionate narrowness. The trapezoid-shaped sections–one each for sink, cooktop, refrigerator, oven, desk, and pantry–provide individually tailored spaces for each basic task or appliance. The largest counter, for the sink, is 10 feet long and puts into the room at a 9-1/2[deg.] angle. Its widest near the breakfast area, where it provides a place to set dishes. It narrows at the opposite end to make room for floor-to-ceiling cabinets.
Out for views, up for light: those are the directions this tall, four-sided bay takes to gain garden views. Since the shallow pitch of the existing roof would have cramped the high, open greenhouse look the Starrs wanted, designer Linda Thornton of Carmel, California, gave the bay an octagonal roof of its own. It rises almost 3 feet above the existing roof, radiating from a central point above the eave line. Half of it notches into the old roof; the other half extends beyond to top the four glass walls. Only three support posts obstruct garden views through the glass panes. Outside, a planter wraps around the base of the bay, softening the expanse of concrete patio.

Developing a “Culture of Safety” A year ago we wrote about the complex process involved in identifying, categorizing, and assessing medical error in health care in the United States (”Assessing Medical Error in Health Care,” Health Progress, November– December 2001, pp. 14-17). That article discussed the 1999 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on medical error, “To Err Is Human,” and the erosion of public trust in U.S. health care.
Over the years the concept of medical necessity has evolved to encompass a multitude of medical management strategies. Essentially, in terms of the contract language, medical necessity has become a workhorse concept to determine coverage eligibility. In the process, the interpretation of the term has taken on various guises and a variety of processes have been used to define medical necessity. The following discussion highlights the variable uses of the concept of medical necessity. 1. Determining the most appropriate intensity of service and place of service

Georg Baselitz The German artist GeorgBaselitz has wide-ranging tastes, finding inspiration in forms as various and diverse as traditional African art, 16th-century printmaking and the writings of Samuel Beckett and Charles Baudelaire. Tellingly, he has also been strongly influenced by art that has been produced by the mentally ill. In his paintings and sculptures, turmoil seems to have battered and worn away at the faces and bodies of his subjects. Indeed, this exhibition includes examples of his upside-down canvases, such as Der Mann am Baum (The Man at the Tree), in which the world has literally been turned on its head. Peter Chapman
Cartoonist Al Capp (1909-79), creator of “Lil Abner,” once said that abstract art was “a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.” However, bewilderment while staring at modern art is altogether unique to the gallery and museum experience. I, myself, a resolute aficionado of modern art, have occasionally shied away from the too unusual. One time in Seattle, at the University of Washingtons art gallery, I was invited by a gallery docent to remove my shoes and walk through a conceptual work of art that I found distasteful, if not disgusting. With a shudder I declined the invitation and moved on. On March 1, I visited the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to review its exhibitions . The 5th floors exhibit, “Treasures of Modern Art: The Legacy of Phyllis Wattis at SFMOMA,” had several of the worlds icons of modern art on display. One of these icons, Marcel Duchamps “Fountain,” was positioned so visitors had to confront it.

Ask yourself, “Am I getting enough compensation for my work?” In most cases, youll give a complex answer. So many factors help determine the true and total payback a person receives from a job. The glossary of the 1998 CUES Compensation Manual defines “all compensation” as “the sum total of an executives base salary, bonus, cost-of-living and other allowances, other cash awards, contributions to retirement accounts, and deferred compensation.” Featuring a survey pool almost twice that of previous years, the 1998 manual provides even more reliable data than in the past. Most notable are the:
Lincoln Mercury in June launches a print and TV pitch for its Lincoln Premier Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) cars, joining rivals who are also trying to turnover a massive pool of formerly leased vehicles hitting the market. The campaign, which begins June 1, will initially focus on Lincoln luxury vehicles Continental and Town Car, now coming off 2- and 3-year factory leasing, according to Andy McKinnon, Lincolns manager of fleet, lease and remarketing. Sherry Pollack, group creative director at the agency, said the campaign comprises two 30-second TV spots and a related print campaign, all with a “day in the life” documentary feel, mimicking the book. One of the spots, “Hamptons,” opens with a man driving a late-model Lincoln to estate sales in a posh area. The spot lampoons the setting (espresso machines and English saddles) while lionizing the drivers thrift.

The drama of mergers, acquisitions, downsizing, and the managed redirection of health care resources away from acute care hospitals and high-technology medicine has overshadowed another change in the contemporary health care culture (Duva, 1990; Edmonds Hallman, 1995; Gabel, 1997; Salmon, 1995). The purpose of this article is to discuss the growing interest in alternative health care and offer an explanation for this phenomenon. Alternative health care is not easily defined. Often it is explained by describing what it is not — the scientific practice of nursing or medicine as it has come to be understood in first world countries during this century. Physicians who are sympathetic to the movement say that alternative therapy encompasses a broad spectrum of practices and beliefs (Eisenberg et al., 1993), and reflects a holistic world view of health and illness that is outside the biomedical mainstream of medicine (Rauckhorst, 1997). Other writers compare and contrast traditional and alternative medicine as a way of defining its practice. Western medicine is specialized; alternative care is holistic. Scientific practice is evaluated by its outcomes and its coherence with protocols; alternative therapy is not in conformity with the standards of the medical community and is considered to be unorthodox. Little is known about its safety, efficacy, or effectiveness (Gevitz, 1988; Lohr, 1997; U.S. Congress, 1990). The science of medicine is taught and practiced in universities and hospitals; alternative care is not widely taught is U.S. medical or nursing schools and is generally unavailable in American hospitals (Eisenberg et al., 1993; Engebretson Wardell, 1993). Insurance companies and federal and state governments pay for traditional medical care. With few exceptions (acupuncture and chiropractic medicine), alternative therapy has not been included as a health benefit by health insurance companies (Eisenberg, 1997). Recently, however, Oxford Health Plans announced its intention to offer coverage for alternative health care and provided its enrollees with a list of providers and services (Oxford Launches, 1998). There is an elaborate certification and licensing system for health care providers and hospitals; the world of alternative therapy is unregulated and its practitioners are usually unlicensed and uncertified (Eisenberg, 1997).
MORE MENUS OFFERING HEALTHFUL ALTERNATIVES From fast-food outlets to elegant fine-dining establishments, lighter, more nutritious menu alternatives have graduated from fad to standard fare, as operators across the food-service spectrum react to the nations growing awareness that proper nutrition and good health are irrefutably linked. “I dont think you can cook today like you did in the 1960s, noted Culinary Institute of America president Ferdinand Metz, a staunch advocate of more healthful food preparations. “Restaurant operators must address the subject of proper nutrition now. At least some of that responsibility lies with the industry.
Business Editors/Health Medical Writers Access Health has agreed to acquire HealthCare, which had been previously announced and subsequently delayed due to financing issues, in a share exchange for 4 million shares of the common stock of Access Health. The President and Chief Operating Officer of Access Health are shareholders in HealthCare and will receive shares of Access Health upon completion of the acquisition. Based on its unaudited financial statements, HealthCare is believed to have generated revenues of approximately $2 million during 2000, with modest profits. In addition to the clinical locations, the acquisition includes management rights under the HMO and managed care contracts, access to a database of over 40,000 patient names, and practical operations within which to test and refine Access Healths programs, products and services prior to bringing them to regional and national markets.

A PATENTLY PERFECT PROFESSION Still, another option intrigued her-a law career. “I decided I wanted an entire change,” says Feeman, now a patent lawyer for the Silicon Valley law firm Howrey Simon. At the time Feeman looked at the move not as the next step in her engineering career but as a clean break, she says. In fact, she hadnt even planned on specializing in patent law, a route commonly taken by engineers because it allows them to apply their technical skills to the law. Feeman initially preferred more “touchy-feely” law and viewed patent law as merely a fall-back option. As a student at Boston College Law School, she developed a passion for civil rights and public interest work, and outside the classroom became involved in the petition process to get clemency for some battered women who had murdered their husbands.
The aim is only to allow diplomats to carry out their functions with security and confidentiality, and also to recognise diplomats function as representatives of their country. It does not grant them freedom to flout local law, although they may be immune to local jurisdiction to enforce such laws. Contrary to a widespread belief, a diplomatic mission is not “extra-territorial”: it is, however, given the protection of inviolability within the receiving state. This rule refers to its premises and diplomatic dispatches. But all privileges and immunities are solely directed towards facilitating performance of diplomatic missions.

Dolphin Telecommunications has launched a GBP7m advertising campaign in the UK to promote its new mobile communications network called ExpressNet.
Despite its recent dramatic downturn, telecommunications is poised for a revolutionary resurgence, thanks to four technologies that will make it more personal and decentralized. The winners will be you and those companies that dont cling to the past. Four concurrent, very different but strong trends will combine to force a shift as big as Bells invention in the first place. Unlicensed spectrum, ad hoc networks, things that link, and asynchronous communications will turn telecommunications upside down. It is too easy to dismiss the current and dramatic downturn in the industry as a combination of overbuilding, flattened growth, license fees, badly managed debt, and inflated valuations. These reasons are so plentiful that it is natural to assume the underlying industry and technology would be stable, if only we could manage it right. That is not true. In parallel with these tumultuous socioeconomic times, there are less evident but deeper technological changes ahead.
