Bankruptcy is often a last result for California homeowners strapped under heaps of debt. Owning a home takes a Herculean effort for many owners as they strive to collect the money for a down payment, insurance and other related costs. However, life changes, and you end up crushed under debt that can put that hard-earned home at risk.
The two most common bankruptcies filed by consumers are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, but there are key differences in how they affect your debt and assets. Chapter 7 allows you to wipe out your debts, but it often means selling all your assets, including your home. Chapter 13 is a debt restructuring form of bankruptcy that can let you catch back up on those mortgage payments and retain your home.
There are a few exceptions to Chapter 7 regarding your home. There are some non-exempt properties not subject to sale, but not too many. Most Chapter 7 bankruptcies have the advantage of wiping out the majority of your existing debts but can still leave you facing foreclosure on your home.
To keep your home, Chapter 13 may be a better fit. The restructuring plan helps you put your payments back into something you can reasonably afford. Instead of feeling stretched thin, the payments are something you can work into your current budget. However, the debt is not wiped out completely like Chapter 7. Many lenders offer foreclosure protection as long as you meet the new payments agreed upon in the bankruptcy.
Sometimes, debtors merely need some breathing room from crushing debt, and Chapter 13 can provide that. Each debtor has unique needs that can make it difficult to choose the best route. In addition to bankruptcy, debt consolidation and contacting your creditors individually may help. Not all debtors qualify for Chapter 7 due to income restrictions. Evaluate your debt and assets to determine what is best for your situation.

THE Boulder JCC’s proposal for a business and entrepreneurial camp for seventh-12th grade students to be housed at CU Boulder is one of four specialty camps selected for funding by the Foundation for Jewish Camp.
Camp Inc. was chosen to be part of the foundation’s specialty camp incubator, designed to engage a new, under-served generation of Jewish campers.
The Specialty Camp Incubator II, which considered 39 applications before selecting four, is part of an $8.6 million grant jointly funded by the Jim Joseph Foundation and Avi Chai Foundation.
Camp Inc., which will welcome its first campers in the summer of 2014, is the brainchild of Boulder JCC Executive Director Jonathan Lev and Josh Pierce, a local entrepreneur who will be the camp’s chief innovator and founding director.
Lev and Pierce are passionate proponents and products of the Jewish summer camp experience.
Together they envision a unique camp dedicated to innovation that will encourage, nurture and inspire aspiring entrepreneurs.
In addition to Camp Inc., the incubator program will fund Camp Zeke, an East Coast-based health and wellness camp; JCC Maccabi Sports Camp in the San Francisco Bay area; and the URJ Six Points Science Academy science and technology camp in the Boston area.
“I AM extremely thrilled to be the director of such an innovative overnight camp,” Pierce says. “Entrepreneurs are getting younger and younger and there is currently a void in entrepreneurial-focused summer camps.
“Camp Inc. is a pioneering concept that will fill that void by marrying the fun and excitement of a typical Jewish overnight camp with real world business skills that our campers will use throughout their entire lives.
“It is simply the right idea at the right time in the right location, and we have the perfect team to achieve success.”
Lev says that Boulder is the perfect site for a camp designed to teach the spirit of entrepreneurship and the realities of its practice.
“Boulder is not only a beautiful and inspiring natural setting to provide the fun factor necessary for any summer camp, but also a thriving entrepreneurial environment,” he says.
“Boulder offers an ecosystem conducive to learning first-hand from people on the cutting edge of the start-up world. Camp Inc. joins an incredibly diverse landscape that includes Tech Stars, The Founder Institute, The Unreasonable Institute and Silicon Flatirons.”
Susan Rona, president of the Boulder JCC board, notes that the innovative camp exemplifies the very concepts it will instill in the young participants.
“It is yet another new model for engagement that fits the vision of the Boulder JCC’s board, staff and community,” she says.
“It provides an opportunity to share the best of what Boulder has to offer and for us to be recognized nationally as a leader in innovation.”
LEV explains that the camp’s curriculum is built on three pillars: business education, philanthropy and Israel.
“The camp challenges participants to build a business, engage in philanthropy and become an expert in Israeli innovation. The camp provides a new way to connect to Israel as the world’s leading start-up nation, and we can learn a tremendous amount from them.”
Although geared toward business, the camp is not limited to aspiring entrepreneurs, according to its founders, who note that campers will learn leadership skills such as team-building, cooperation, articulating and achieving a vision, and thinking outside the box, all of which can be applied to any future endeavors.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: While prior research characterizes women Veterans' barriers to accessing and using Veterans Health Administration (VA) care, there has been little attention to women who access VA and use services, but then discontinue use. Recent data suggest that among women Veterans, there is a 30 % attrition rate within 3 years of initial VA use.
To compare individual characteristics and perceptions about VA care between women Veteran VA attriters (those who discontinue use) and non-attriters (those who continue use), and to compare recent versus remote attriters.
Cross-sectional, population-based 2008-2009 national telephone survey.
Six hundred twenty-six attriters and 2,065 non-attriters who responded to the National Survey of Women Veterans.
Population weighted demographic, military and health characteristics; perceptions about VA healthcare; length of time since last VA use; among attriters, reasons for no longer using VA care.
Fifty-four percent of the weighted VA ever user population reported that they no longer use VA. Forty-five percent of attrition was within the past ten years. Attriters had better overall health (p = 0.007), higher income (p < 0.001), and were more likely to have health insurance (p < 0.001) compared with non-attriters. Attriters had less positive perceptions of VA than non-attriters, with attriters having lower ratings of VA quality and of gender-specific features of VA care (p < 0.001). Women Veterans who discontinued VA use since 2001 did not differ from those with more remote VA use on most measures of VA perceptions. Overall, among attriters, distance to VA sites of care and having alternate insurance coverage were the most common reasons for discontinuing VA use.
We found high VA attrition despite recent advances in VA care for women Veterans. Women's attrition from VA could reduce the critical mass of women Veterans in VA and affect current system-wide efforts to provide high-quality care for women Veterans. An understanding of reasons for attrition can inform organizational efforts to re-engage women who have attrited, to retain current users, and potentially to attract new VA patients.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Objective: This study sought to examine whether a web-delivered brief alcohol intervention (BAI) is effective for reducing alcohol misuse in U.S. military veterans presenting to primary care. Method: Veterans (N = 167) screening positive for alcohol misuse during a routine primary care visit were randomized to receive a BAI plus treatment as usual (TAU) or TAU alone. An assessment of alcohol-related outcomes was conducted at baseline and 3 and 6 months after treatment. Results: Veterans in both study conditions showed a significant reduction in alcohol quantity and frequency and alcohol-related problems at 6-month follow-up. No differential treatment effects on outcomes were observed between the two treatment groups. Conclusions: This study is the first to explore whether a web-delivered BAI using normative feedback is effective for veterans with alcohol misuse. Our findings suggest that BAIs using normative feedback may not have any additional benefit beyond TAU for older veterans with high rates of comorbid mental health concerns. (J. Stud. Alcohol Drugs, 74, 428-436, 2013).

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: We evaluated receipt of cervical cancer screening in a national sample of 34,213 women veterans using Veteran Health Administration facilities between 2003 and 2007 and diagnosed with 1) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or 2) depression, or 3) no psychiatric illness.
Our study featured a cross-sectional design in which logistic regression analyses compared receipt of recommended cervical cancer screening for all three diagnostic groups.
Cervical cancer screening rates varied minimally by diagnostic group: 77% of women with PTSD versus 75% with depression versus 75% without psychiatric illness were screened during the study observation period (p < .001). However, primary care use was associated with differential odds of screening in women with versus without psychiatric illness (PTSD or depression), even after adjustment for age, income and physical comorbidities (Wald Chi-square (2): 126.59; p < .0001). Specifically, among low users of primary care services, women with PTSD or depression were more likely than those with no psychiatric diagnoses to receive screening. Among high users of primary care services, they were less likely to receive screening.
Psychiatric illness (PTSD or depression) had little to no effect on receipt of cervical cancer screening. Our finding that high use of primary care services was not associated with comparable odds of screening in women with versus without psychiatric illness suggests that providers caring for women with PTSD or depression and high use of primary care services should be especially attentive to their preventive healthcare needs.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: We examined rates of specific health conditions among female veteran patients and how the share of health care costs attributable to these conditions changed in the Veterans Affairs system between 2000 and 2008.
Veterans' Administration (VA)-provided and VA-sponsored inpatient, outpatient, and pharmacy utilization and cost files were analyzed for women veterans receiving care in 2000 and 2008. We estimated rates of 42 common health conditions and per-patient condition costs from a regression model and calculated the total population costs attributable to each condition and changes by year.
The number of female VA patients increased from 156,305 in 2000 to 266,978 in 2008; 88% were under 65 years of age. The rate of women treated for specific conditions increased substantially for many gender-specific and psychiatric conditions: For example, pregnancy increased 133%, diagnosed posttraumatic stress disorder increased 106%, and diagnosed depression increased 41%. Mean costs of care increased from $4,962 per woman in 2000 to $6,570 per woman in 2008. Psychiatric conditions accounted for more than one quarter of population health care costs in 2008. Gender-specific conditions and musculoskeletal diseases accounted for a rising share of population costs and rose to 8.2% and 8.7% of population costs in 2008, respectively.
Gender-specific, cancer, musculoskeletal, and mental health and substance use disorders accounted for a greater share of overall costs during the study period and were primarily driven by higher rates of diagnosed conditions and, for several conditions, higher treatment costs.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Evidence suggests that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders (SUD) are associated with poorer physical health among U.S. veterans who served in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF). No research of which we are aware has examined the independent and interactive effects of PTSD and SUD on medical comorbidity among OEF/OIF veterans. This cross-sectional study examined medical record data of female and male OEF/OIF veterans with ≥ 2 Veterans Affairs primary care visits (N = 73,720). Gender-stratified logistic regression analyses, adjusted for sociodemographic factors, were used to examine the association of PTSD, SUD, and their interaction on the odds of medical diagnoses. PTSD was associated with increased odds of medical diagnoses in 9 of the 11 medical categories among both women and men, range of odds ratios (ORs) ranged from 1.07 to 2.29. Substance use disorders were associated with increased odds of 2 of the 11 medical categories among women and 3 of the 11 medical categories among men; ORs ranged from 1.20 to 1.74. No significant interactions between PTSD and SUD were detected for women or men. Overall, findings suggest that PTSD had a stronger association with medical comorbidity (in total and across various medical condition categories) than SUD among female and male OEF/OIF veterans.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: This exploratory study investigated organizational factors associated with receipt of military sexual trauma (MST) screening during an early timeframe of the Veterans Health Administration's (VHA) implementation of the universal MST screening policy.
The sample consisted of all VHA patients eligible for MST screening in fiscal year 2005 at 119 VHA facilities. Analyses were conducted separately by gender and by user status (i.e., new patients to the VHA health care system in FY 2005 and continuing users who had previously used the VHA health care system in the past year). Multivariate generalized estimating equations were used to assess the effects of facility-level characteristics and adjusted for person-level covariates.
Facility-level mandatory universal MST screening policies were associated with increased odds of receiving MST screening among new female patients and both continuing and new male patients: Odds ratio (OR), 2.87 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.39-5.89) for new female patients; OR, 8.15 (95% CI, 2.93-22.69) for continuing male patients; and OR, 4.48 (95% CI, 1.79-11.20) for new male patients. Facility-level audit and feedback practices was associated with increased odds of receiving MST screening among new patients: OR, 1.91 (95% CI, 1.26-2.91) for females and OR, 1.86 (95% CI, 1.22-2.84) for males. Although the facility-level effect for women's health clinic (WHC) did not emerge as significant, patient-level effects indicated that among these facilities, women who used a WHC had greater odds of being screened for MST compared with women who had not used a WHC: OR, 1.79 (95% CI, 1.18-2.71) for continuing patients and OR, 2.20 (95% CI, 1.59-3.04) for new patients.
This study showed that facility policies that promote universal MST screening, as well as audit and feedback practices at the facility, significantly improved the odds of patients receiving MST screening. Women veterans' utilization of a WHC was associated with higher odds of receiving MST screening. This study provides empirical support for the use of policies and audit and feedback practices which the VHA has used since the implementation of the MST screening directive to encourage compliance with VHA's MST screening policy and is likely associated with the present-day success in MST screening across all VHA facilities.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Many studies have documented the link between substance use and a history of sexual assault in women; however, few studies have examined this relationship in men. The purpose of this study was to explore the rates of sexual assault in a sample of male veterans reporting alcohol misuse and to further explore potential differences in alcohol use patterns and alcohol-related characteristics in those with and without a history of sexual assault. We also explored the types of illicit drugs being used in the past 90 days and whether a clinical sample of male veterans reporting sexual assault are at greater odds of using these substances when compared with their peers with no history of sexual assault.
Data were collected on a nationwide sample (N = 880) of male veterans receiving care in Veterans Administration outpatient mental health clinics.
We found that 9.5% of our sample reported a history of sexual assault, and those with this history reported increased alcohol consumption, a greater number of alcohol-related consequences, and an increased likelihood of using an illicit substance in the past 90 days. The most commonly used illicit substances were cannabis, cocaine, and opiates. Those with sexual assault histories were also more likely to report risk factors that may exacerbate the negative effects of any level of alcohol consumption.
Our findings highlight the burden of alcohol and illicit drug use among male veterans and suggest that substance use disorder treatment settings may be a context in which prevalence of a history of sexual assault is high. Our findings further support prior call for universal screening for sexual assault among this population.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To determine whether atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with mental health conditions (MHCs) were less likely than AF patients without MHCs to be prescribed warfarin and, if receiving warfarin, to maintain an International Normalized Ratio (INR) within the therapeutic range.
Detailed chart review of AF patients using a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) facility in 2003.
For a random sample of 296 AF patients, records identified clinician-diagnosed MHCs (independent variable) and AF-related care in 2003 (dependent variables), receipt of warfarin, INR values below/above key thresholds, and time spent within the therapeutic range (2.0-3.0) or highly out of range. Differences between the MHC and comparison groups were examined using X2 tests and logistic regression controlling for age and comorbidity.
Among warfarin-eligible AF patients (n = 246), 48.5% of those with MHCs versus 28.9% of those without MHCs were not treated with warfarin (P = .004). Among those receiving warfarin and monitored in VHA, highly supratherapeutic INRs were more common in the MHC group; for example, 27.3% versus 1.6% had any INR >5.0 (P <.001). Differences persisted after adjusting for age and comorbidity.
MHC patients with AF were less likely than those without MHC to have adequate management of their AF care. Interventions directed at AF patients with MHC may help to optimize their outcomes.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: There has been considerable focus on the burden of mental illness (including post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD) in returning Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) veterans, but little attention to the burden of medical illness in those with PTSD.
(1) Determine whether the burden of medical illness is higher in women and men OEF/OIF veterans with PTSD than in those with No Mental Health Conditions (MHC). (2) Identify conditions common in those with PTSD.
Cross-sectional study using existing databases (Fiscal Year 2006-2007).
Veterans Health Administration (VHA) patients nationally.
All 90,558 OEF/OIF veterans using VHA outpatient care nationally, categorized into strata: PTSD, Stress-Related Disorders, Other MHCs, and No MHC.
(1) Count of medical conditions; (2) specific medical conditions (from ICD9 codes, using Agency for Health Research and Quality's Clinical Classifications software framework).
The median number of medical conditions for women was 7.0 versus 4.5 for those with PTSD versus No MHC (p<0.001), and for men was 5.0 versus 4.0 (p<0.001). For PTSD patients, the most frequent conditions among women were lumbosacral spine disorders, headache, and lower extremity joint disorders, and among men were lumbosacral spine disorders, lower extremity joint disorders, and hearing problems. These high frequency conditions were more common in those with PTSD than in those with No MHC.
Burden of medical illness is greater in women and men OEF/OIF veteran VHA users with PTSD than in those with No MHC. Health delivery systems serving them should align clinical program development with their medical care needs.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The number of women veterans using Veterans Health Administration (VHA) services has increased rapidly, but the characteristics of women joining VHA are not well understood. We sought to describe sociodemographic characteristics, utilization, and retention of new and returning women VHA patients over a 7-year period.
We identified women veterans who used VHA outpatient services from VHA Enrollment and Utilization files for fiscal years 2003 through 2009. "New" patients in a given year had no outpatient use within the prior 3 years. Patients were "retained" if they continued to use VHA in subsequent years.
Of the 287,447 women veteran VHA outpatients in 2009, 40,000 (14%) were new to VHA in that year and over half had joined VHA since 2003. Nearly two thirds of these new patients were younger than 45, and 43% carried a service-connected disability status. Most new patients (88%) received primary care services in 2008, and 40% used mental health services. Repeated use of mental health services (at least three visits per year) nearly doubled among new patients (from 11% in 2003 to 20% in 2008). Among those using VHA primary care in 2006, 68% of new patients versus 91% of returning patients were retained in either of the subsequent 2 years.
The influx of new women veterans seeking VHA services in recent years, combined with their high rate of retention within VHA, contribute to the marked increase in numbers of women veterans using VHA. Many require fairly intensive VHA services.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: We examined military-related sexual trauma among deployed Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans. Of 125 729 veterans who received Veterans Health Administration primary care or mental health services, 15.1% of the women and 0.7% of the men reported military sexual trauma when screened. Military sexual trauma was associated with increased odds of a mental disorder diagnosis, including posttraumatic stress disorder, other anxiety disorders, depression, and substance use disorders. Sexual trauma is an important postdeployment mental health issue in this population.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Sexual violence and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been linked to increased reports of distress and pain during the pelvic examination. Efforts to more fully characterize these reactions and identify core factors (i.e., beliefs about the examination) that may influence these reactions are warranted.
This descriptive, cross-sectional study examines the relationship between sexual violence, PTSD, and women's negative reactions to the pelvic examination. Additional analyses highlight how maladaptive beliefs about the safety, necessity, and utility of the pelvic examination may contribute to these reactions. Materials and
A total of 165 eligible women veterans were identified via medical record review and mailed a survey that assessed: (1) background information; (2) history of sexual violence; (3) current symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder; (4) fear, embarrassment, distress, and pain during the pelvic examination; and (5) core beliefs about the examination. Ninety women (55% response rate) completed the survey.
Women with both sexual violence and PTSD reported the highest levels of examination related fear: chi(2) = 18.8, p < .001; embarrassment: chi(2) = 21.2, p < .001; and distress: chi(2) = 18.2, p < .001. Beliefs that the examination was unnecessary or unsafe or not useful were more commonly reported in this group and were associated with higher levels of examination-related fear and embarrassment.
Women with sexual violence and PTSD find the pelvic examination distressing, embarrassing, and frightening. Efforts to develop interventions to help reduce distress during the examination are warranted.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Methodological challenges arise when one uses various Veterans Health Administration (VHA) data sources, each created for distinct purposes, to characterize length of stay (LOS). To illustrate this issue, we examined how algorithm choice affects conclusions about mental health condition (MHC)-related differences in LOS for VHA patients with diabetes nationally (n = 784,321). We assembled a record-level database of all fiscal year (FY) 2003 inpatient care. In 10 steps, we sequentially added instances of inpatient care from various VHA sources. We processed databases in three stages, truncating stays at the beginning and end of FY03 and consolidating overlapping stays. For patients with MHCs versus those without MHCs, mean LOS was 17.7 versus 13.6 days, respectively (p < 0.001), for the crudest algorithm and 37.2 versus 21.7 days, respectively (p < 0.001), for the most refined algorithm. Researchers can improve the quality of data applied to VHA systems redesign by applying methodological considerations raised by this study to inform LOS algorithm choice.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The authors estimated the validity of algorithms for identification of mental health conditions (MHCs) in administrative data for the 133 068 diabetic patients who used Veterans Health Administration (VHA) nationally in 1998 and responded to the 1999 Large Health Survey of Veteran Enrollees. They compared various algorithms for identification of MHCs from International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision (ICD-9) codes with self-reported depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, or schizophrenia from the survey. Positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for identification of MHC varied by algorithm (0.65-0.86, 0.68-0.77, respectively). PPV was optimized by requiring > or =2 instances of MHC ICD-9 codes or by only accepting codes from mental health visits. NPV was optimized by supplementing VHA data with Medicare data. Findings inform efforts to identify MHC in quality improvement programs that assess health care disparities. When using administrative data in mental health studies, researchers should consider the nature of their research question in choosing algorithms for MHC identification.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To examine whether veterans who received chronic opioid therapy had worse diabetes performance measures than patients who did not receive opioids.
Retrospective cohort study.
We identified all patients with diabetes mellitus receiving care in US Department of Veterans Affairs facilities during 2004. Cases received at least 6 prescriptions for chronic opioids during 2004, while controls were randomly selected from among patients with diabetes who received no opioids. We compared process measures (glycosylated hemoglobin and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels tested and an eye examination performed) and outcome measures (glycosylated hemoglobin level < or =9.0% and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level < or =130 mg/dL) between groups.
Cases (n = 47,756) had slightly worse diabetes performance measures than controls (n = 220,912) after adjustment for covariates. For example, 86.4% of cases and 89.0% of controls had a glycosylated hemoglobin test during fiscal year 2004 (adjusted odds ratio, 0.69; P <.001). Among cases, receipt of higher-dose opioids was associated with additional decrement in diabetes performance measures, with a dose-response relationship.
Chronic opioid therapy among patients within the Veterans Affairs system is associated with slightly worse diabetes performance measures compared with patients who do not receive opioids. However, patients receiving higher dosages of opioids had additional decrements in diabetes performance measures; these patients may be appropriate targets for interventions to improve their care for pain and diabetes.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Oral anticoagulation with warfarin is an increasingly common medical intervention. Despite its efficacy, warfarin is difficult to manage, contributing to potential for patient harm. Efforts to measure the quality of oral anticoagulation care have focused disproportionately on the identification of ideal candidates for warfarin therapy, with comparatively little effort in measuring the quality of oral anticoagulation care once therapy has begun. To address this gap in the literature, a MEDLINE search was conducted for all papers relevant to possible quality measures in oral anticoagulation care, including measures of structure, process, and outcomes of care. LIMITATIONS, CONCERNS, AND CHALLENGES OF QUALITY MEASUREMENT IN ORAL ANTICOAGULATION: Because they do not have intrinsic significance, measures of structure and process should be strongly related to outcomes that matter to merit our interest. Consensus guidelines may provide useful guidance to practicing clinicians but may not represent valid process measures. Outcome measures must be studied with databases that provide sufficient statistical power to reliably demonstrate real differences between providers or sites of care. CONCLUSION: Oral anticoagulation care, a common and serious condition, is in need of a program of quality measurement. This article suggests a research agenda to begin such a program. Previous research has established the evidence for anticoagulant therapy across a broad spectrum of indications and has helped to achieve consensus on the optimal target intensity for various indications. The next task will be to use this body of evidence to develop valid measures of the structure, process, and outcomes of oral anticoagulation care. Quality indicators provide a framework for quality improvement, two goals of which are to maximize the effectiveness of therapy and to minimize harm.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: To estimate the range and severity of distress and pain during pelvic examinations among female veterans with and without histories of sexual violence, and to examine whether posttraumatic stress disorder explains additional variance in examination-related distress and pain above that accounted for by exposure to sexual violence.
We employed a cross-sectional cohort design in which 67 selected female veterans completed self-administered questionnaires to assess history of sexual violence and experiences of distress and pain associated with the pelvic examination. A subsample of 49 completed an assessment for posttraumatic stress disorder approximately 2 weeks later.
Distress associated with the pelvic examination was highest for women with prior sexual violence and posttraumatic stress disorder (median 5.49), next highest for women with sexual violence only (median 2.44), and lowest for women with neither (median 0), P=.015. Higher ratings of pain were also found among women with sexual violence (median 2.5) compared with those without (median 0), P=.04. However, posttraumatic stress disorder was not linked with increased pain from speculum insertion beyond that accounted for by sexual violence; limited power may have precluded detection of this effect.
Distress and pain during pelvic examinations may indicate a history of previous sexual violence, particularly in those with posttraumatic stress disorder. Extra sensitivity to the special needs of this population is warranted and may contribute positively to the quality of patients' experiences.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: In an effort to assess and reduce gender-related quality gaps, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has promoted gender-based research. Historically, such appraisals have often relied on secondary databases, with little attention to methodological implications of the fact that VHA provides care to some nonveteran patients.
To determine whether conclusions about gender differences in utilization and cost of VHA care change after accounting for veteran status.
All users of VHA in 2002 (N = 4,429,414).
Veteran status, outpatient/inpatient utilization and cost, from centralized 2002 administrative files.
Nonveterans accounted for 50.7% of women (the majority employees) but only 3.0% of men. Among all users, outpatient and inpatient utilization and cost were far lower in women than in men, but in the veteran subgroup these differences decreased substantially or, in the case of use and cost of outpatient care, reversed. Utilization and cost were very low among women employees; women spouses of fully disabled veterans had utilization and costs similar to those of women veterans.
By gender, nonveterans represent a higher proportion of women than of men in VHA, and some large nonveteran groups have low utilization and costs; therefore, conclusions about gender disparities change substantially when veteran status is taken into account. Researchers seeking to characterize gender disparities in VHA care should address this methodological issue, to minimize risk of underestimating health care needs of women veterans and other women eligible for primary care services.

[show abstract][hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Studies of prostitution have focused largely on individuals involved in the commercial sex trade, with an emphasis on understanding the public health effect of this behavior. However, a broader understanding of how prostitution affects mental and physical health is needed. In particular, the study of prostitution among individuals in substance use treatment would improve efforts to provide comprehensive treatment.
To document the prevalence of prostitution among women and men entering substance use treatment, and to test the association between prostitution, physical and mental health, and health care utilization while adjusting for reported history of childhood sexual abuse, a known correlate of prostitution and poor health outcomes.
Cross-sectional, secondary data analysis of 1606 women and 3001 men entering substance use treatment in the United States who completed a semistructured intake interview as part of a larger study.
Self-reported physical health (respiratory, circulatory, neurological, and internal organ conditions, bloodborne infections) and mental health (depression, anxiety, psychotic symptoms, and suicidal behavior), and use of emergency department, clinic, hospital, or inpatient mental health services within the past year.
Many participants reported prostitution in their lifetime (50.8% of women and 18.5% of men) and in the past year (41.4% of women and 11.2% of men). Prostitution was associated with increased risk for bloodborne viral infections, sexually transmitted diseases, and mental health symptoms. Prostitution was associated with use of emergency care in women and use of inpatient mental health services for men.
Prostitution was common among a sample of individuals entering substance use treatment in the United States and was associated with higher risk of physical and mental health problems. Increased efforts toward understanding prostitution among patients in substance use treatment are warranted. Screening for prostitution in substance use treatment could allow for more comprehensive care to this population.

Whitening injections, also known as glutathione injections, are a type of cosmetic treatment that is claimed to lighten the skin and reduce the appearance of blemishes, freckles, and other skin imperfections. While glutathione is a naturally occurring substance in the body, the safety and effectiveness of whitening injections as a cosmetic treatment have been the subject of debate.
Some potential side effects of whitening injections may include:
- Chest pain
- Difficulty breathing
- Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
In rare cases, whitening injections may cause more serious side effects, such as an allergic reaction or anaphylaxis. It is important to seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of these side effects.
It is important to note that the long-term safety of whitening injections has not been established, and there is a lack of scientific evidence to support their use as a cosmetic treatment. It is always best to consult a healthcare provider before considering any cosmetic treatment.

Each page of this book talks about a different emotion and the cut out hearts grow smaller until the end of the book. A little girl describes how she feels with each emotion. On sad days her heart feels heavy like an elephant. On happy days her heart feels shiny and bright like a yellow star.
The illustrations are simple and colorful. The cut out hearts on each page add a fun element.
This story was originally written in French and translated into English. Although the examples are at times a bit abstract ("But other times my heart is cool. I bob along gently like a balloon on a string...This is when my heart is calm.") this is a wonderful way for children to understand emotions. The book is advertized for ages 2-4. I do not believe this young age will understand the full meaning of the examples. I think ages 4-7 would be a better audience. It would also be a great book to use for those on the autism spectrum who would benefit from the descriptive language. I would have liked to have seen a boy as well as a girl narrate the story, but oh well.
Great way of talking about emotions with children. Plus, the cut out hearts that get progressively smaller are always fun.

And if you’re looking for a truly unique location, Bali’s rice paddies are a must-see. With their vibrant green hues and intricate irrigation systems, they offer a one-of-a-kind setting that will leave you and your guests in awe.
Rich Cultural Experiences
One of the most iconic cultural experiences in Bali is visiting the ancient temples that dot the island. These temples, some of which date back to the 9th century, offer a glimpse into Bali’s rich history and spiritual beliefs. Many of these temples are still in use today, and you can witness locals performing traditional ceremonies and offerings.
Another way to immerse yourself in Bali’s culture is by attending a traditional dance performance. These performances, which often tell stories from Balinese mythology, are a feast for the senses. With intricate costumes, mesmerizing music, and graceful movements, they are a true reflection of Bali’s artistic heritage.
World-Class Accommodations and Services
From luxurious resorts to private villas, Bali offers a wide variety of accommodations that cater to every budget and taste. And with top-tier services that range from world-class catering to professional photography and videography, you can be sure that every aspect of your wedding will be handled with the utmost care.
Many of Bali’s resorts offer stunning ocean views, private beaches, and luxurious amenities such as spas and infinity pools. And if you’re looking for a more intimate setting, Bali’s private villas offer seclusion and privacy while still providing all the amenities you need for a perfect wedding.

From wedding planners who can help you with every aspect of your big day to professional photographers and videographers who can capture every precious moment, you can be sure that your wedding will be a truly unforgettable experience.
Setting Your Wedding Budget
Before you start planning your wedding, it’s important to determine your budget. Weddings can be expensive, and it’s easy to get carried away with all the details and expenses. By setting a budget, you can ensure that you stay within your means and avoid any financial stress.
Here are a few key expenses to consider when setting your wedding budget:
Venue and Accommodation Costs
Your venue and accommodation costs will likely be one of the biggest expenses of your wedding. Be sure to choose a venue that fits your budget and offers the amenities and services you need. Consider the location of the venue, the number of guests it can accommodate, and any additional services they offer, such as catering or decorations. If you’re having a destination wedding, be sure to factor in the cost of travel and accommodation for you and your guests.
Food and Beverage Expenses
Food and beverage expenses can quickly add up, especially if you’re planning to have a larger wedding. Be sure to work with your venue or catering provider to create a menu that fits your budget and satisfies your guests. Consider serving a buffet-style meal instead of a plated dinner, as this can often be more cost-effective. You can also save money by serving beer and wine instead of a full bar.
Photography and Videography Fees
Your wedding photos and videos will be some of the most treasured memories of your special day. Be sure to work with a professional photographer and videographer who can capture every moment in the most beautiful way possible. When budgeting for photography and videography, consider the length of time you’ll need them for, the number of photos or videos you want, and any additional services they offer, such as photo albums or prints.
Wedding Attire and Accessories
From your wedding dress to your bridal party attire, wedding attire and accessories can also be a significant expense. Be sure to shop around and compare prices to find the best deals. Consider renting your tuxedos or dresses instead of buying them, or look for second-hand options. You can also save money by doing your own hair and makeup instead of hiring a professional.
Travel and Transportation Costs
Don’t forget to factor in travel and transportation costs, especially if you’re planning a destination wedding. This may include flights for you and your guests, as well as transportation to and from your venue. Consider hiring a shuttle or limousine service to transport your guests, or ask a friend or family member to provide transportation.
By considering all of these expenses and setting a realistic budget, you can ensure that your wedding day is everything you’ve dreamed of without breaking the bank.
Selecting the Ideal Wedding Venue
Choosing the perfect wedding venue is one of the most important decisions you’ll make during your wedding planning process. It sets the tone for your big day and creates the backdrop for memories that will last a lifetime. Bali, with its stunning scenery and rich culture, offers a range of options that can make your dream wedding a reality. Here are a few options to consider:
Bali is famous for its stunning beaches, and a beachfront resort can offer the perfect setting for your wedding. Imagine exchanging vows with the sound of waves crashing in the background and the sun setting over the ocean. From private beach ceremonies to poolside receptions, beachfront resorts offer a range of options to suit your needs. You can choose from a variety of venues, including open-air pavilions, garden courtyards, and elegant ballrooms. The resorts also offer world-class amenities, including luxurious accommodations, spa treatments, and gourmet dining options.
If you’re looking for a more intimate and private setting, a luxurious villa may be the perfect choice. Bali has a range of stunning villas that offer breathtaking views, beautiful gardens, and complete privacy. You can choose from villas that are nestled in the lush greenery of the jungle or perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Many villas also offer a range of services, including catering, event planning, and transportation. With their unique charm and exclusivity, villas can offer a truly magical experience for your wedding.

There are many different paths for artists. You can go into a specific field, become an art teacher, graphic designer, museum curator, etc. You can set up a website and sell yourself through social media and other online means. You can get representation through a gallery and they sell your stuff for you. And/or you can go the art fair route.
Since graduating college, I have set up the website and have tried to sell myself through social media. My graduation party was an impromptu art show where all my friends and family could see my art in person and have the opportunity to buy something if they wanted. I ended up selling three original pieces that day, which left me feeling on top of the world.
Then I got a job at a marketing company and life went on. I did some more art, had a few commissions, but then I kind of hit a wall. I still had a lot of pieces just sitting around collecting dust and I felt like social media and other online things were not working. This led me to try applying for art fairs and trying my luck with that.
I put in a lot of work and money to get all the things for an art fair ready. I/my dad made panels to hold my paintings, I had to get a booth tent, weights to hold them down, a table and chairs. I took some pictures of my booth all together and then sent off some applications. It was a few months before I found out that I had made it into one of the fairs that I had applied to. I was really excited but it was also stressful because I had never done one before and I did not know what all would be involved.
The day of the art fair was less stressful than I thought it would be because my mom was with me and she helped me set up the booth and sat with me all day. If nothing came out of the day, it still would have been a good experience because now I have an idea of how to do an art fair and how to interact with people as well as getting to see a lot more people’s reactions to my work that are not close to me in any way. I would say that 80% of people that saw my booth, really liked my stuff but did not have a place to put it in their home, didn’t want to spend the money for an original piece, or didn’t want to carry around a big piece for the rest of the day.
It was getting to the last few hours of the event and I was resigned to the fact that today was not my day, and I was not going to sell anything when a guy stops in front of my booth and is just looking. I say hello and he comes into the booth and asks what some of my paintings mean. I tell him the inspiration behind some of them and we just start talking and then I see my opening and ask if he wants to buy a piece. And to my amazement, he does. I was so excited, and ask which one he wants and he shocks me by picking a painting that I had not considered my best or most liked piece.
The picture above is the painting he ended up going with. It just goes to show that you don’t know what people are going to like or when you are going to make a sale. After doing that fair, I also applied to another one that I hope to get into for later this year for another opportunity to sell my work. I am just putting myself out there, seeing what events work and trying to reach as many people as I can to make that sale.

It’s just some oil. Take a look how to properly lubricate your garage door.
A lot of homeowners imagine oil or WD40 being the most effective lubricants. This won’t be a solution, as they are greases, and will have an active effect on the kind of oil you’ll require.
If you want to avoid this, apply a lithium-based oil. Lithium-based grease produces a thick coating that’s not prone to drip, in contrast to other products based on oils. If the oil is runny and sloppy, it could cause harm to your home’s door as well as the other components that hold it in place.
The lubrication of your door’s entire surface will be the main goal. In order to ensure the best lubrication possible, make sure to reach into all corners.
It’s crucial to maintain your garage door clean and well-lubricated. There won’t be any sound and will also increase the life span of the door. There are more specifics about garage door oiling in the video to the right.

The Douglas A-26 Invader (designated B-26 between 1948–1965) was a United States twin-engined light attack bomber built by the Douglas Aircraft Co. during World War II that also saw service during several of the Cold War's major conflicts. A limited number of highly modified aircraft (designation A-26 restored) served in combat until 1969.
The redesignation of the type from A-26 to B-26 has led to popular confusion with the Martin B-26 Marauder. Although both types used the R-2800 engine, they are completely different designs.
The last A-26 in active US service was assigned to the Air National Guard; that aircraft was retired from military service in 1972 by the US Air Force and the National Guard Bureau and donated to the National Air and Space Museum.

And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death and deliver him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.”
Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came up to him with her sons, and kneeling before him she asked him for something. And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.” He said to them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.” And when the ten heard it, they were indignant at the two brothers. But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:17–28 ESV)
It seems so easy for me to mock the disciples for not getting it: their constant clawing for power, their inability to see that the true nature of a leader is a servant, their incessant need to win at almost any cost. The problem is that in 2,000 years of Christianity, followers of Jesus, including myself, still just don’t get it most days.
I would hope most of us believe this problem is inherent to the human condition, but I would submit that too often it is even reinforced by preaching in many of our churches, not necessarily the content of the sermons, but the very nature of our preaching. Preaching that is elevated in most North American contexts is preaching that is “overly” apologetic in nature. Sermons are written to prove a point, make an argument, or prepare the congregant to defend the faith. But Paul tells us that we preach Christ crucified, which is a stumbling block to those who should know God best and a foolishness to those looking in from the outside (1Corinthians 1:23).
Lent – a season where Christians are called to consider the self-sacrificial nature of Christ, ultimately leading to the cross – stands in stark contrast not only to the attitudes of the disciples but to the argumentative triumphalism that marks my own life far too often, along with so much of Western Christianity. May we take time this Lenten season to not only consider the self-sacrificial nature of Christ’s cross but to also take up our own crosses daily. May we spend less time trying to win arguments and more time trying to win the souls of men and women through self-sacrificing love. May we spend less time demanding our freedom and rights and more time recognizing we are to be slaves and servants.

First Thursdays Art Tour returning to Marquette
MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) - The Marquette City Arts and Culture Center and Travel Marquette are teaming up to bring the First Thursdays Art Tour back. First Thursdays is a monthly, self-guided tour inside local art galleries and studios on the first Thursday of every month.
It begins June 2 and runs through October. There are 14 participating locations, and artwork by more than 150 artists including Beth Millner, Owner and Designer of Beth Millner Jewelry.
“We have a really vibrant art scene here in Marquette and some of these places are just hidden away in plain sight because artists need to be working on their work and so they don’t all have regular hours where you might stop in so I think this is a great way to see the work that might not be as obviously seen,” Millner said.
First Thursdays will feature guest pop-up artists, live art demonstrations and workshops. Maps are available at the city of Marquette Arts and Culture office at the Peter White Public Library and participating locations.

TODAY IN HIP HOP HISTORY: LIL KIM’S DEBUT LP ‘HARD CORE’ TURNS 25 YEARS OLD!
Written by Randy C on November 12, 2021
Today in Hip Hop History, Lil’ Kim released her debut album Hard Core on November 12, 1996. The Brooklyn-born pint-sized rapper changed the course of hip hop. Before Megan Thee Stallion bounced in a thong and before Nicki Minaj wore the colorful wigs— there was Lil Kim. Her album Hard Core album showed women in a different light compared to what we had seen from veterans like MC Late and Queen Latifah. Lil Kim unabashedly spoke on her sex life and what she demanded from any man trying to court her. From her fashions to her hair to her aggressive rap style, she ushered women into the 2000s with sexy confidence we hadn’t seen before.
“No Time” quickly became an anthem and girls everywhere initiated Lil Kim as the Queen. There was an unforgettable promo poster released that stirred up a conversation and was plastered all over New York City. She and her crew Junior Mafia became one of the biggest groups in Hip hop led by the late great Notorious B.I.G. Today we salute Lil Kim for a classic album, that still knocks to this day. Check out some of our favorites of the album Hardcore.


Are you someone that wonders how to better handle automobile repairs? Have you thought about doing auto repairs and maintenance yourself? Maybe you hope to become better at picking a solid auto shop in your area. This article will give you the information to answer these questions.
Ensure the mechanic you use has an ASE certification before allowing them to operate on your vehicle. They have passed tests and have at least two years experience under their hat. This ensures that you have a capable person working on your car.

Common Cause Prevails in Federal Court Challenge to North Carolina’s Partisan Gerrymander
- David Vance
Today, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina unanimously struck down North Carolina’s partisan gerrymander of congressional districts by the state’s legislature in a challenge originally brought by Common Cause.
The constitutional challenge, Common Cause v. Rucho, was consolidated with a subsequent suit, League of Women Voters of North Carolina v. Rucho. The Common Cause challenge included four separate counts against the plan as a whole and each of its 13 congressional districts. The counts cited the gerrymander as a violation of the First Amendment, the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, and Article I, sections 2 and 4 of the Constitution relating to the manner in which Representatives are popularly elected. Common Cause prevailed in all of its constitutional claims before the court.
When North Carolina’s 2011 congressional redistricting was ruled an unconstitutional racial gerrymander in 2016, legislators publicly boasted that their goal was to replace it with a political gerrymander. In hearings they explained that the map drawers were to be instructed to create a map that would create ten Republican congressional districts and only three for Democrats.
“Every American deserves representation in Washington, but the gerrymandered map struck down by the court today robbed much of the state of a representative voice in the nation’s capital,” said Karen Hobert Flynn, President of Common Cause. “Today’s decision is a victory for democracy and a victory for North Carolinians who were carved out of any real choice in their elected representatives in Washington. Partisan gerrymanders are quite simply undemocratic and that is why Common Cause has fought them in the courts whether the lines were drawn by Republicans in North Carolina or Democrats in Maryland.”
“This is a true victory for North Carolina voters,” said Bob Phillips, executive director of Common Cause NC. “At long last, politicians in our state will no longer be allowed to use partisan gerrymandering in order to shield themselves from accountability to the public.”
The challenged congressional map was drawn to result in a 10-3 majority for Republicans, despite the fact that in North Carolina at the time the map was enacted, there were 2,634,903 registered Democrats, 1,976,873 registered Republicans, and 1,844,264 unaffiliated registered voters.
Common Cause was joined in the litigation by the North Carolina Democratic Party and registered Democratic voters in each of the 13 gerrymandered districts. Plaintiffs are represented by Emmet J. Bondurant, Jason J. Carter, and Benjamin W. Thorpe of Bondurant, Mixson & Elmore, LLP, Gregory L. Diskant and Susan Millenky of Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP and Edwin M. Speas, Jr. and Caroline P. Mackie of Poyner Spruill LLP,
