Executive Summary. Surveys of real estate research priorities for real estate fund managers in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Germany over 2000-03 are examined. Thirty-nine real estate research priorities are assessed, with much closer alignment for real estate research priorities in the U.K., Germany and Australia than seen for the U.S. The role of real estate in a mixed-asset portfolio and real estate and portfolio risk management figure prominently amongst the general real estate research priorities. The top specific real estate research priorities were the impact of capital flows, real estate cycles and real estate portfolio diversification. The underlying general real estate research priorities “dimensions” highlight the strategic issues involved in real estate research, particularly the changing real estate environment, strategic real estate issues and the role of real estate in the portfolio.Real estate research has taken on increased importance in recent years in the international arena. The establishment of the regional real estate societies (particularly ARES, ERES, PRRES and AsRES) and their annual conferences have been key catalysts to this expanded real estate research agenda, with much of this research having a strong real estate industry focus. As such, general real estate research areas have been identified by leading real estate academics in the United States and the United Kingdom (Lusht, 1993; Webb, 1997; Jaffe, 1998; Crosby, 2000; Worzala, 2002; and Adair, Crosby, Lim and Watkins, 2003), as well as by leading U.S. and Australian real estate practitioners (Winograd, 1999; Souza, 2000; Parker, 2001; and Steinert and Crowe, 2001).To more fully assess the real estate research directions and priorities for U.S. institutional investors, extensive real estate industry surveys have been funded by the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries (NCREIF) in 1992 (Ziering and Worzala, 1997) and the Pension Real Estate Association (PREA) in 2000 (Worzala, Gilliland and Gordon, 2002), with Newell, Acheampong and Worzala (2002) conducting an equivalent real estate research priorities survey for Australia in 2001. In 2003, equivalent real estate research priority surveys have been conducted in the U.K. (Newell, McAllister and Worzala, 2003) and Germany (Schulte, Newell and Worzala, 2003).Given these significant international real estate research developments, the purpose of this research is to compare the results of these four recent major international real estate surveys to examine the real estate research priorities of real estate fund managers in the U.S., U.K., Australia and Germany. Identification of these real estate research priorities will enable the more effective development of a real estate research agenda for real estate researchers in ARES, ERES, PRRES and AsRES, as well as for the emerging real estate societies of AfRES and LaRES.

Keywords: medical education, training of service providers, sexual and reproductive health curriculum MEDICAL educators have a responsibility to train physicians and other health professionals in the core competencies needed to improve the sexual and reproductive health of their communities. One of the distinguishing features of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo in 1994, (1) and its five-year follow-up by a special session of the UN General Assembly in 1999 (ICPD + 5) (2) is that they moved beyond rhetoric to define reproductive health, including sexual health, in the context of primary health care and to provide countries with specific goals, objectives, and targets, in order to provide quality sexual and reproductive health information and services. These reflect an international consensus on what needs to be achieved, requiring a combination of programme initiatives, public health policies, legislation, educational capacity building and community-wide efforts. Until recently, little interest has been expressed by medical educators in integrating sexual and reproductive health in the medical curriculum. Significantly, no international group that is representative of medical educators or the medical profession attended either ICPD in 1994 or the 1999 Special Session of the UN General Assembly, with the exception of the Commonwealth Medical Association.

GE Money - Sales Finance Reflects Growth, Evolution Of Consumer Lending Unit KETTERING, Ohio — New markets, new products and a new focus have translated into a new name for one of GE Moneys fastest growing business units. GE Consumer Finances Retail Sales Finance unit today announced it is changing its name to GE Money - Sales Finance. The business unit has achieved double-digit growth over the last four years and has doubled its assets in just the past two, reaching $16 billion. GE Moneys Sales Finance division helps business owners increase sales and profits by providing extended financing, installment lending, revolving credit, private label credit cards, bank card programs and other financing solutions to independent and regional retailers, dealers, manufacturers, service providers, health care professionals and consumers. “The new name reflects how weve evolved beyond the retail space,” said Glenn Marino, president and CEO of GE Moneys Sales Finance unit. “Were broadening our markets, channels and product offerings — all focused on helping our partners grow their businesses by offering simple, fast and flexible financing programs to their customers.” Sales financing has been shown to quadruple an average ticket sale over other tenders.
Relatively stable financing in banks Chart 4.2 shows the size of stable financing sources (here defined as customer deposits, equity capital and bonds) as a percentage of banks illiquid assets (lending and fixed assets). Less stable financing and more illiquid assets result in a lower value for the indicator. A low value for this indicator therefore implies high liquidity risk. In general, a value of 100 implies that banks have balanced illiquid assets with stable funding sources. Measured by this indicator, liquidity risk in the three largest banks is lower than in small and medium-sized banks. One reason that small and medium-sized banks have less stable financing is a lower level of borrowing in the bond market. For these banks, borrowing in the bond market may be more difficult than for large banks because such funding often requires a size that exceeds the borrowing needs of smaller banks. Unless they participate in a joint bond issue, they will rely more heavily on the short-term paper market, which is not defined as a stable source of financing in the indicator. However, the indicator is a better measure for analysing developments in financing strategy over time for each bank group than for comparing groups. Banks do not appear to have changed their strategy appreciably in recent years. The indicator has risen somewhat for both bank groups since September 2001, which in isolation implies lower liquidity risk than six months ago.

When the body is forced into a state of hypercatabolism or hypermetabolism, such as from a wound, burn, sepsis, major surgery, cancer, pulmonary disease, or a major trauma, the patient is at high risk for involuntary weight loss and proteincalorie malnutrition (Table 1). This has serious health implications, with the risk of patient morbidity and mortality increasing in direct proportion to decreases in body weight. The question becomes, then, how much is too much loss of body weight? As suggested by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1987, problematic weight loss includes the following: * severe weight loss: loss of more than 5% body weight in 30 days, more than 7.5% in 60 days, or more than 10% in 180 days. Various formulas can be used to calculate the percentage of body weight lost. One that generally provides a good picture of the patients current state of health is the following: usual weight - actual weight x 100 ./. usual weight = percentage of body weight loss.
One possible health outcome that may be adversely affected by intentional weight loss is immune function. Natural killer (NK) cells, a subset of mononuclear cells, which are an important component of the immune system, lack antigen-specific receptors and are capable of killing cancer cells and virus-infected cells. The aim of a cross-sectional study was to investigate history of intentional weight loss and associations with NK cytotoxicity and lymphocyte subpopulations among healthy, overweight, postmenopausal women. It was hypothesized that repeated intentional weight loss may be associated with lower immune function measures. The subjects (n=114) were a subset of a female study population recruited for an exercise intervention trial. The subjects had to meet the following criteria: postmenopausal, age 50 to 75 years, in good health; sedentary; nonsmoking; and had been at a stable body weight for at least 3 months. Body weight and height was measured. The subjects completed a questionnaire that included the following question: “Within the last 20 years, when you were not pregnant or sick, did you ever lose 10 pounds or more on purpose?” In other questions, women were queried regarding how often they had lost between 120 lb and 19 lb, between 20 lb and 49 lb, 50 lb or more, and how long they had been within 10 lb of their current weight. Demographic information was obtained. Food frequency questionnaires were used to assess dietary intake and alcohol consumption. The use of nutritional supplements was ascertained. Flow cytometry was used to measure NK cytotoxicity at four effector-to-target (E:T) ratios and four enumerating phenotyping lymphocytes. Multiple linear regression was used to investigate associations between weigh loss within the past 20 years and current immune function. Women who reported ever intentionally losing > 10 lbs were found to have lower measured NK cytotoxicity than those who did not (24.7% [+ or -] 12.1% vs. 31.1% [+ or -] 14.7%, respectively, at E:T 25:1; P = .01). Additionally, increasing frequency of previous intentional weight loss was associated with lower NK cytotoxicity (P = .003, trend). As an independent predictor, longer duration of recent weight stability was associated with higher NK cytotoxicity (21.6% [+ or -] 11.9%, 24.4%[+ or -] 11.0%, and 31.9%[+ or -] 14.4% for <2,>2 to <5, and >5 years of weight stability, respectively; P = .0002, trend). The frequency of weight loss episodes was also associated with differences in the number and proportion of NK cells.
Researchers developed an approach that included education about the biological and psychological determinants of body weight, weight loss, and weight regain; cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) methods to enhance self-esteem and body image (independent of weight); and instruction in behavioral methods of weight control. These investigators report changes in weight, body image, and serf-esteem associated with a novel treatment after 40 weeks of treatment and at a 1-year follow-up (that is, week 92). They also compare these results with those obtained in published trials of standard behavior treatment. Subjects were 17 obese women with a mean age of 46.5 [+ or -] 9.7 years, a mean weight of 92.8 [+ or -] 9.1 kg, and a mean BMI of 34.7 [+ or -] 2.9 kg/[m.sup.2]. Thirteen were white (76.5%), and four were African American (23.5%). The program was designed to alter patients expectations and to promote the acceptance of realistic weight loss outcomes (that is, approximately a 10% weight loss). Subjects were treated in groups of 7 to 10 persons and attended 20 weekly sessions, 5 monthly sessions (over 20 weeks), and a 1-year follow-up visit. The 40-week intervention consisted of four phases. During phase 1 (weeks 1 to 4), the subjects were instructed to refrain from making any changes in their eating or activity habits to focus entirely on examining their weight loss goals and expectations. Phase II of the program (weeks 5 to 12) focused on the development of weight control skills. The subjects were instructed to consume a self-selected diet of 1200 to 1500 kcal/day and were trained in the standard cognitive behavioral methods of weight control. Phase III (weeks 13 to 20) focused on methods to improve body image and self esteem. And finally, phase IV of the program (weeks 24 to 40) focused on developing weight maintenance skills. Weight was measured at each treatment visit. Changes in weight, self-esteem, body image, and quality of life were assessed at the end of treatment and 1 year later. At week 40, participants lost an average of 5.7 [+ or -] 5.3% of initial weight, which was associated with significant improvements in body image, self-esteem, and quality of life. Improvements in psychosocial status were maintained at week 92, although mean weight loss at this time had declined to 2.9 [+ or -] 5.6% of initial weight. Increased satisfaction with body weight at week 40 was associated with significantly better maintenance of weight loss at follow-up (r = -70; p = 0.02).

Increasing need for financing from money and capital markets During the last six months, banks funding needs in money and capital markets have increased by about NOK 20 billion. The effect of this development on liquidity risk is uncertain because banks increased funding needs have been financed primarily by long-term loans. Bond debt has increased by a good NOK 26 billion the last half year, whereas short-term debt in the form of short-term papers and deposits and loans from other financial institutions has decreased by just NOK 3 billion. At the same time, there has been a marked shift in banks short-term debt from foreign to domestic sources. Short-term funding from abroad has declined by about NOK 13 billion (see Chart 5.1). Relatively high liquidity risk in small and medium-sized banks During the last half year, the three largest banks have reduced their short-term debt somewhat and their liquid assets have increased slightly as a percentage of total assets (see Chart 5.2). The share of gross lending financed by foreign sources has risen and there has been a shift towards an increased share of bond debt (see Chart 5.3).

Dr. Rodney P. Steffen had been a dentist for four years in the U.S. Air Force when he opened a private dental practice in 1987 in Oklahoma City. He had a practice by himself until Dr. Kathy DeHart joined the practice in 1990. Steffen knew it made economic sense for more than one dentist to be operating out of one building. “Two dentists can work in a building and pay the same rent as one dentist,” he said. So Steffen put that knowledge to use in his practice. That one-dentist practice Steffen started 1987 has now expanded Community Dental Health Centers to three locations and 12 dentists, with a fourth location scheduled to open in mid-August in Moore.

eHealths eApproval technology makes it possible for online shoppers to
apply for health insurance at eHealthInsurance.com, submit their
application with an electronic signature and receive an instant response
from Celtic Insurance Company. If approved for coverage, the customer is
able to submit a payment electronically and receive their membership
materials immediately via email.
By integrating automatic scoring decisions and application approvals
directly into eHealths online application process, eHealths proprietary
eApproval technology is able to streamline the process of applying for
health insurance online.
“Shopping online has become a very normal exercise for many Americans
because they expect to find a wider variety of products and services on the
internet,” said Colleen Fournier, VP of Sales eBusiness. “The one
drawback to buying health insurance — online or off — has been the time
it takes between submitting an application and receiving a response, until
now. While eApproval doesnt allow for every application to be completed
immediately, it does make that experience a reality for a significant
number of applicants.”
“Celtic Insurance Company is a nationally respected leader in providing
quality, affordable health insurance to individuals, families, and the self-employed ,” said eHealth Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, Gary Lauer. “Celtics implementation of eApproval gives consumers
one more compelling reason to purchase health insurance from Celtic at
eHealthInsurance.com. Approximately 40 percent of our customers are
uninsured(1), and waiting up to two weeks — or more — for an underwriting
response just extends the period of time that theyre uninsured. eApproval
can eliminate that period of uncertainty for a significant number of those
who apply for plans from Celtic.”

iHealth, an online suite of medical
practice web sites and secure patient email services provided by Medem is
now integrated with Google Health, a new product that allows users to
store, organize and manage their medical records and personal health
information online. Medem is a healthcare IT company founded by leading
medical societies, including the American Medical Association (AMA).
The iHealth collaboration with Google allows Google Health users to share
information in their Google Health profile with doctors using the iHealth
web product. This in turn helps keep doctors up-to-date on current medical
conditions and medications. Physicians who offer the iHealth service to
their patients will be listed in the Google Health “Find a Doctor” feature
as integrated with Google Health.
“Improving communication and strengthening the patient-physician bond is a
key goal for Medem and its participating medical societies,” explained
Robert Musacchio, PhD, chairman of the board for Medem and senior vice
president, Publishing and Business Services for the AMA. “The collaboration
between Google and Medem to better connect patients and physicians online
is an important step in furthering this goal.”
A recent Harris Interactive/Wall Street Journal survey confirms that
patients prefer physician practices with an online presence, finding that
77% of patients want to schedule appointments online, and 75% want to email
their physicians practice. Medems collaboration with Google Health will
help patients identify and select physicians who are iHealth users and
offer these and other important medical services online.
“Our objective at Medem is to provide a suite of online services for
physician practices that help them improve patient communication, reduce
phone calls, enhance marketing and reduce liability,” noted Medem CEO,
Edward Fotsch, MD. “The integration between Google Health and practices
that offer iHealth may help millions of consumers identify, select and
reward practices who have quality web sites and offer a higher level of
patient connectivity and service.”

LOS GATOS, Calif. — Greg Baker has joined Asante Real Estate Group, Inc. as the Vice President of Real Estate Operations. Prior to joining Asante Real Estate, Mr. Baker was a highly successful Broker Manager with Coldwell Banker, and is a recognized expert in real estate sales and operations. As the Vice President of Real Estate Operations, Mr. Baker will manage all aspects of real estate operations, provide strategic solutions to help our agents meet our clients needs, mentor Asante real estate agents and build a world-class real estate team for Asante Real Estate Group, Inc. in Los Gatos. Asante Real Estate Group is a Full-Service Real Estate Company that is massively reducing the high cost of buying and selling real estate by selling homes with Full-Service at a Fair Price. Specifically, Asante Real Estate lists homes and other real estate for only 1% of the total purchase price (plus the buyers agents commission), and credit buyers who find their home with up to 66% of our commission. In contrast, many real estate companies charge a Full-Price commission equal to 6% of the total price of a home. When Asante lists your home, you will save up to $20,000 to $40,000 in real estate commissions for the sale of a $1M home. Asante also gives home buyers up to 2/3 of our buyers agents commission when they find their own home - for the purchase of an $800K home, the buyer will receive up to $16,000 after close of escrow. In the midst of this unsettled housing market, Asantes Full-Service at a Fair Price value propositions ensure that home buyers and sellers end up with more money when they close escrow - that is Full-Service at a Fair Price!

The “Am I a Candidate for LASIK?” feature asks participants a series of vision and general health questions and generates a personalized report. The report educates prospective patients about factors that might disqualify them as a LASIK candidate, or factors for which more information is needed to determine candidacy. Of course, the online LASIK evaluation is limited to criteria that can be addressed over the web, and visitors are encouraged to see their eye care practitioner for a thorough evaluation. “Am I a Candidate for LASIK?” is part of AllAboutVision.coms comprehensive LASIK Vision Surgery section, which also includes “Ask the LASIK Surgeon” - a feature enabling consumers to pose a LASIK-related question to a panel of prominent surgeons, and receive a personal reply within 72 hours.

A debt collector could be sued under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act for sending a collection notice that said the debtor could only dispute the validity of the debt in writing, the 9th Circuit has ruled in affirming a U.S. District Court decision in Camacho v. Bridgeport Financial Inc. The plaintiffs debt of $42.57 was assigned to the defendant. In its first collection notice, the defendant included the following statement: Unless you notify this office in writing within 30 days after receiving this notice that you dispute the validity of this debt. this office will assume this debt is valid. Under the Fair Debt Act, a debt collector must send a debtor a written notice within five days of its initial attempt to collect a debt. One subsection of the Act states that the notice must contain a statement that, unless the consumer, within 30 days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt. the debt will be assumed to be valid by the debt collector. According to another subsection, the notice must also state that if the debtor notifies the collector in writing he or she is disputing the debt, the collector will verify the debt and send the verification to the debtor. Once written notification is received, the Act also requires the debt collector to cease collection activities pending verification.
Collecting healthcare debt requires knowledge of laws beyond the FDCPA and similar state regulations The collection industry services a host of different types of transactions and accounts, including consumer personal credit cards, commercial accounts, government debt, educational loans and healthcare accounts. Maybe more than any other group of accounts, the collection of healthcare accounts has the greatest quantity of varying federal and state regulations as well as the largest spectrum of different clientele. While the collection of outstanding healthcare debt certainly falls under the purview of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and similar state laws and regulations, additional federal and state laws are triggered by servicing this debt. The most notable is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which governs, in part, how healthcare providers and thirdparty debt collectors must operate. At the helm is the requirement of a business associate agreement between the provider and third-party debt collector to ensure the requirements identified by HIPAA are followed by debt collectors. Another area of the law applicable to healthcare debt (as well as other debt) is the proper security of medical information. While HIPAA imposes certain requirements on the disclosure and security of certain personal health information, more and more states are considering imposing additional restrictions on the disclosure of medical debt information and the collection of healthcare accounts. Yet another twist in the collection of healthcare debt concerns understanding the client as well as the consumer. Consumers obtaining healthcare through Medicare assistance, consumers who receive healthcare but are part of a particular economic demographic, and collection of hospital healthcare debt prompt yet another host of federal and state laws and regulations. This may include restrictions on pursuing legal remedies in seeking recovery of certain healthcare debt, offering particular consumers additional notices regarding their right to dispute the amount due and to receive charity care assistance, and offering healthcare rates to the uninsured and underinsured similar to those offered to the insured.
