Daily Life Womens Life Greek women had virtually no political rights of any kind and were controlled by men at nearly every stage of their lives The most important duties for a citydwelling woman were to bear childrenpreferably maleand to run the household Duties of a rural woman included some of the agricultural work the harvesting of olives and fruit was their responsibility as may have been the gathering of vegetables Since men spent most of their time away from their houses Greek home life was dominated by women The wife was in charge of raising the children spinning weaving and sewing the familys clothes She supervised the daily running of the household In a totally slavebased economy plentiful numbers of female slaves were available to cook clean and carry water from the fountain Only in the poorest homes was the wife expected to carry out all these duties by herself A male slaves responsibilities were for the most part limited to being doorkeeper and tutor to the male children Click womens dress Custom dictated that a Greek woman limit her time outside the house to visiting with her nearest female neighbors Exceptions to this rigid social convention were weddings funerals and state religious festivals in which women were expected to play prominent public roles Click here for women and goddesses Vase scenes portraying women inside their houses tend to be sparing in specific details The common presence of columns suggests that women spent much of their time in the courtyard of the house the one place where they could regularly enjoy fresh air Greek cooking equipment was small and light and could easily be set up there In sunny weather women probably sat in the roofedover areas of the courtyard for the ideal in female beauty was a pale complexion Attic Red Figure Kylix ca 480470 BC By the Painter of Philadelphia 2449 and the potter Hieron Chiusi Italy MS 2449 A scene from the womens quarter or gynaikonitis Women talk while sitting on chairs Two play the aulos double reed instrument and krotala rattle A standing woman holds a mirror On the interior shown above an elegant woman holding a box lifts the lid of an inlaid chest H 87 L 298 Dia 233 cm Photos by Maria Daniels for the Perseus Project 132k Copyright 2002

SigSauerP226EliteSAO11 12 of 13 SigSauerP226EliteSAO12 13 of 13 SigSauerP226EliteSAO13 Previous Over the years I have enjoyed something of an up and down relationship with Sig Sauer pistols Early in my career my department allowed for personal carry but a decocking pistol was required Given the chance to try a P220 it became my duty pistol for quite some time The grip angle was the same as my 1911 pistols The magazines were similar and it was incredibly accurate reliable and chambered in 45 ACP It remained my primary pistol until 1911s were authorized Shot offhand the P226 SAO was easily the most accurate factory 9mm pistol Ive tested in a long time Several years later while training with a couple of federal tactical units the chance to wring out a P226 arose It quickly became one of my favorite decocking pistols to use It was lightweight easy to carry reliable and incredibly accurate The only drawback for me was the decocker While a favorite for many it is just not for me It is one of those longstanding arguments that will never end but to me it is just an unnecessary manipulation My preference remains a singleaction SA pistol or a strikerfired weapon with no need for mechanical safeties I remained a little dissatisfied with the P226until now Attending several schools at the Sig Sauer Academy rekindled my fondness for the P226 pistol It seemed every instructor was carrying an SA P226 pistol with similar configurations They were kind enough to let me handle them during breaks Its as if the engineers had asked me what my perfect P226 would be and had decided to build it An ambidextrous safety and extended beavertail accommodated my large hands Unlike for the XFive holsters are prolific in most any configuration The instructors pistols also had Hogue s aggressively checkered grips and mag wells similar to the XFive Tactical Dry firing the pistol the trigger was crisp pretty clean and broke exactly where a tactical pistol should It really piqued my interestnow I just needed to shoot it That opportunity came up the next day while testing the new Sig Sauer MPX submachine gun Sigs Jeff Creamer was helping photographer Sean Utley and me with the test and Jeff is a not only the marketing director but a real gun guy He provided a P226 SAO for use in my gear to facilitate the photography and some transition drills After the test was completed he allowed me to send some ammunition downrange I was hooked Given a few rounds to zero in at 30 yards on the 4inch hostagerescue plate it was almost too easy to swing it back and forth Shot offhand the P226 SAO was easily the most accurate factory 9mm pistol Ive tested in a long time It was impressive enough that I ordered one immediately upon my return home The P226 Elite SAO includes ambi manual safeties a spurred hammer and extended beavertail to prevent hammer bite Gun Details Sig Sauers Elite SAO starts with the aluminum Elite frame This frame includes a tactical rail and an extended beavertail More aggressive checkering is found on the front strap as well as some on the front of the triggerguard Elite frames will accept the mag well seen on the XFive Tactical The SAO is a singleactiononly SAO model with an ambidextrous safety Unique to this design is the ability to manipulate the slide with the safety engaged The Elite P226 frame will accept 15round factory magazines as well as the 20round tactical versions The slide houses a matchgrade 44inch barrel Cocking serrations are at both the front and rear SigLite Night Sights come standard with a ledged rear sight facilitating unconventional magazine changes and malfunction drills The frame is hardcoat anodized and the slide is coated in Nitron Two 15round magazines are provided in a plastic hard case The P226 Elite SAO features Sigs proprietary front and rear SigLite Night Sights which thanks to tritium inserts are easily visible in low light conditions While the SigLites are great my 50 yearold eyes prefer something a bit brighter especially for daylight shooting Trijicons HD sights have become my favorites and were installed using my MGW sight mover Available with either an orange or green front sight orange is my preference It contains a tritium insert surrounded by a large photoluminescentpainted doughnut The rear sight is ledged with tritium inserts keeping things simple Hogues Chain Link Extreme Series G10 grips were installed for operation in adverse conditions and tactical operations A RoCo Firearms XFivestyle mag well was added to round out the package Most of the testing was completed using a set of Kydex holsters made by NSR Tactical The companys Kydex work is excellent and its delivery time is better than most Based in Paulden Arizona NSR was able to deliver them to me at Gunsite during a 250 Pistol class I was working NSR provided magazine pouches as well as holsters that accommodate the pistol alone and with a SureFire X300U tactical light Molded in ATACS Urban it matches most of my gear These holsters have proven to be very well constructed and made from the finest Kydex I purchased the Sig P226 SAO for use as a duty pistol during department training but I carried it concealed and still do Range Time I began testing the Sig P226 Elite SAO at Gunsite which allowed me to carry it on the range for several days and during afterhours trips to the city Loaded with 15 rounds it was surprisingly easy to carry concealed and quite comfortable to carry NSRs holsters wrap around and carry a bit higher making them easily concealed with a coat or outer cover It held the pistol firmly yet allowed for a smooth and fast draw Although considered a fullsized pistol it was as good or more comfortable to carry than my usual fullsized 1911 pistols Livefire training was minimal but satisfyingly accurate The ability to keep the safety Whether you are carrying for work play or selfdefense give this pistol a look It may be just as perfect for you Moving back to my home range it was time to wring this pistol out Working with my Battle Belt and Safariland ALS holster I found the pistol fast to the draw intuitive to aim and easy to control The trigger is predictable and very similar to most combatoriented 1911 pistols Transitioning between my Colt Delta Elite and the P226 SAO was seamless Accuracy was excellent with my best group measuring 25 inches at 25 yards with 4 out of the 5 rounds closer to an inch Barnes 115grain TACXPD ammunition was the best but it shot everything well It was not my day for tiny groups but there is little doubt the Sig P226 SAO is accurate Given a mechanical rest it will easily stay inside an inch and half at 25 yards Shooting on the move and under stress at 15 yards it was as accurate as a combatready pistol gets Completing follow the bullet drills it cut one solid hole at 15 yards Trigger control is excellent allowing for controlled and precise fire no matter the conditions Function was as expectedflawless The P226 Elite SAO is one of the most operationally proven pistols in the world Over the course of a few weeks it ate up over 500 rounds of Black Hills 115grain FMJ with almost boring accuracy Selfdefense ammunition including several P loads were equally as reliable Used as a primary pistol for some concerted work on my draw reloads and malfunction drills it was very comfortable to shoot The grip and extended beavertail provide for precise control Its ability to be rocksolid in the grip with gloved hands also makes it well suited to adverse conditions Hogues grips were aggressive but comfortable to shoot during intense range sessions All of the Sig Sauer factory magazines functioned well with the mag well The opening in the front makes it easy to load factory magazines using the flat base plate the 20rounders are about perfect If youre using aftermarket magazines you are going to need to alter the baseplate or order those designed for use with the XFive and XSix pistols MecGars 18rounders are the most popular but would require some grinding to get them to fit The business end of the P226 Elites 44inch matchgrade barrel Note the forward slide serrations Final Thoughts I purchased the Sig P226 SAO for use as a primary duty pistol during department training but I carried it concealed and still do After carrying a 1911 for decades I found this pistol pretty easy to

How to Give Your Dog a Bath An Expert Guide Washing dogs isnt easy But with these expert tips on how to give your dog a bath you can create a bubbly pleasant bathing experience for both of you Petful Apr 21 2016 Giving your dog a bath By hfiguiere Dogs have their own ideas about personal grooming techniques which may include rolling around on the ground or rubbing their heads or noses in who knows what Every dog looks at bath time in a different way We humans realize that a bath leaves us feeling clean and refreshed but not all dogs have that same feeling Given time many dogs do learn to tolerate baths ADVERTISEMENT Part 1 How to Give Your Dog a Bath While bathing helps keep the coat clean healthy and shining some breeds need good scrub more often than others Basically that depends on how quickly they get grimy Bathing too frequently will take healthy oils away from the coat and skin causing itching scratching and irritation Brushing daily will help keep them clean between baths Follow the simple instructions in this article and youll be giving your dog a bath like a seasoned pro Instructions Giving Your Dog a Bath The following instructions should help create a harmonious relationship between you and your dog during baths 1 Using warm water not hot fill the tub about knee length Lift your puppy or dog and gently place them dont plop them down in the water Provide a treat speak to your pup in a calming tone and let them smell your grooming tools the comb brush clippers etc 2 Give your dog a chance to get used to the water Spraying the water gently on the dogs back and shoulders will allow your pet to adjust to the feel and temperature of the water Take it slowly and keep talking in a reassuring voice Anything that spooks your pet will only make them more resistant to baths in future ADVERTISEMENT 3 Take care not to spray water directly in the dogs face Instead tilt the dogs head so that the water will run down the backside Use your fingers or a wet washcloth to wipe the areas around eyes nose and mouth Do not clean the inner ears except with guidance from your veterinarian According to Dr Larry Cohen DVM getting water in the ears is a top cause of dog ear infections 4 Wash the top of the head the neck and chest and keep working your way down the dogs back Going in the direction of head to tail will help wash away any fleas or other bothersome visitors your pet may have accumulated since the last bath Dont forget to offer some more treats along the way Your dog will really appreciate that gesture at this point 5 Use a shampoo that is formulated for dogs People shampoos do not have the right pH for dogs Apply a line of shampoo along the back massaging the lather down to the skin as you go Wash each leg and the tummy as you work your way to the tip of the tail A softbristled brush will help you clean around the paw pads 6 Gently rinse your soapedup pet remembering to use warm water First rinse the top of the dogs head and around the eyes using one of your hands to shield the soap from his eyes If some soap accidentally gets in the dogs eyes its not the end of the world despite your pets squirms Just flush the eyes out with water and give some extra treats Next rinse the whole body well until the water runs clear Kneading the fur with your hand will help remove the suds Dont forget those little toes often neglected but which need rinsing too Was YOUR Pet Food Recalled Blue Buffalo Science Diet Purina Wellness 4health Bravo Canine Carry Outs Taste of the Wild See 200 more brands CHECK RECALLS NOW Dont skimp on the rinsing this is where most people often mess up Leftover suds can lead to dry skin 7 Gently pat your pet dry with an absorbent towel Begin the drying process at the head as dog arent very comfortable when their head is wet Theyll probably want to do their part by shaking wildly That is perfectly fine just be sure they are completely dry before allowing them the pleasure of postbath running and rolling Otherwise all this bathtime magic will have been in vain After giving your dog a bath offer a lot of praise and a few more treats After all doesnt a clean goodsmelling pupper deserve the royal treatment Other Tips and Tricks Take your puppy for a long walk first Bath time should begin before your pet eats This way the food can serve as a reward afterward For smaller dogs you can give the dog a bath in a sink or laundry tub Invest in a good detachable shower sprayer it will prove invaluable Put down a nonslip mat in the tub This can prevent injury from a slip and will also shield the tub enamel from scratches Garden hoses outside can shoot out water that is too cold for your pet particularly during colder months of the year Young puppies in particular wont enjoy having a hose shot at them To avoid having water roll down into the dogs ears place a large cotton ball in each ear Be patient and do not yell at your pet if they resist grooming youll just make them hate baths if you do this Every dog looks at bath time in a different way By ginnerobot Part 2 Mistakes to Avoid When Bathing Your Dog Bath time can be a lot of fun for both you and your dog and yes were being serious You get to spend time together bond and get clean Well at least your dog does Your bathroom is another story Its not always easy to bathe dogs though Here are 3 things to avoid to make the experience go a little more smoothly TOP DOG NAMES ON PETFUL Boomer meaning fullgrown kangaroo is a great male dog name for dogs who are tough or outgoing SEE NEXT NAME 1 Using the Wrong Shampoo Like people dogs have a variety of needs when it comes to bathing Some dogs have dry skin and others have fleas so whats the best shampoo to remedy those afflictions There are a lot of shampoos to choose from and deciding on one can be a bit of a headache Groomer Jet Perreault offers this advice If you arent sure which one to go with ask your groomer for advice She will be glad to help because frequent washing will make her job easier Also ask your veterinarian One of the most important things is to not use shampoo manufactured for humans unless otherwise directed by your vet Sometimes veterinary dermatologists recommend Johnson Johnson Baby Shampoo for sensitive dogs But in general human shampoo is not designed to properly clean your dog and may cause skin irritation Your dog may grow to like baths if they can associate baths with a calm pleasant experience By pheezy 2 Rewarding Too Soon Training your dog to be on his best behavior can help with bath time tremendously As with any training this should be a positive experience something that makes your dog actually look forward to bath time Many people use treats to entice their dogs into the bathroom but according to Mario Sturm in his book 100 Mistakes in Dog Training this is well a mistake After the procedure your dog should be exceedingly praised and rewarded with a treat Sturm writes provided that your dog endured it in a wellbehaved manner If you have a reluctant bather reward him only after bath time is over regardless of how cute he looks in the tub 3 Getting Frustrated or Yelling Its hard not to get peeved when you have an excitable dog in the tub whos getting soap and water everywhere but on himself Just remember He has no real idea of why he even needs a bath in the first place Be calm and assertive when you need to be but above all else remain calm In Common Sense Dog Training Steven Adams writes Screaming adds to their excitement which means their outofhand behavior can get even more out of hand Not to mention it can scare the hell out of your dog and make him fear training situations Stay calm when you get frustrated Walk away from the situation if you have to and try again another time Its so easy when theyre puppies isnt it Watch this video Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video Sure walking away from bath time to try again isnt always a convenient option In the long run though it will help you and your dog learn how to handle baths like pros And one more thing Never try to bathe your dog when youre short on time Even the calmest dog can get excitable at bath time and when youre running late this adds to your frustration making you more likely to snap Make baths fun for you and your dog Save No dogs do not hate baths By Oleg Part 3 Common Myths About Dog Baths Busted Many people think baths for dogs are a seasonal occurrence Time for his spring bath we hear But what if hes been dirty since October Pig Pen needed a fall bath a winter bath and now yes a spring bath Here are 7 myths about dogs and baths Myth 1 Dogs dont need regular baths Yes they do There is no patanddry answer as to how often you need to bathe your dog Different breeds different coats different lifestyles require varying degrees of canine coiffing One answer is clear however In cold climates such as New England if the last time you bathed Maple was in a kiddie pool when it was warm enough it has been too long A rule of thumb is a bath every 13 months depending on the dog Dogs with skin conditions or allergies require more frequent shampoos Rolling in dead fish or coming home wearing and smelling of unidentifiable substances requires immediate bath attention Myth 2 Dogs get a good bath with a hose No they dont Coldhose water is not ideal for rinsing off shampoo And freezinghose baths are appreciated by most dogs only on warm sunny days Myth 3 Dogs can get good baths only at the groomers A professional bath is wonderful once in a while but most folks can give a great dog bath at home See the advice above in Part 1 of this article There are exceptions of course You may have a huge or uncontrollable dog have no help be physically unable or have no tub or a shower with a handheld shower head Get your puppy used to baths from the start Another hint for the lap pups Small dogs fit in sinks Myth 4 My flea shampoo gets the job done well enough Hows that Flea shampoos have chemicals that are not needed for a general cleansing bath Even if your dog has fleas a flea bath is not sufficient for treating a flea problem effectively For a general happy bath use an allaround pet shampoo Hose water is not the best option for baths By Donald Kilgore Myth 5 The dog has to be dried with a dryer In the ideal world professional drying is nice but all but the intensely thickcoated pups will dry in a few hours in a warm home If your dog could talk she would tell you how much she hates the cage dryer at the groomer They are noisy and scary Myth 6 Bathing removes natural oils from the coat Actually this one is both true and not true You really have to overdo bathing for this to be a problem Depending on the dog frequent bathing such as once a week may rid the coat of natural oils Dog conditioners help restore these oils So back to the onceamonth rule to keep a dog clean If you have a mudpuppy who is dirty all the time rinsing with warm water between shampoos should help keep your little rascal presentable For allergic dogs or dogs with specific skin conditions many dermatologists are recommending frequent baths Bathing may be one of the safest and most natural ways to keep allergies and conditions such as seborrhea under control So if your dog has specific skin conditions consult your veterinarian about the proper medicated shampoos and frequency of bathing Myth 7 Dogs hate baths They may act like they hate baths but when my dog talks to me he tells me he loves how he feels after his tubby time The majority of dogs run around do the rubadubtub gymnastics routine on your favorite carpet and if allowed run right outside to breakdance in the dirt Clean puppies feel so good theyre ready to make a commercial for all their dirty dog friends Take a bath Youre worth it Dont let them near the hair care aisle though Once

Top Tools Guides Flea Tick Center Symptom Checker Alerts Recalls Chocolate Toxicity Meter Healthy Weight Tool Nutrition Center Home Dog Emergencies Accidents Injuries Can Dogs Get Concussions 8 min read By Maura McAndrew When we hear the term concussion many of us automatically think of athletes Football players for example frequently suffer this type of traumatic brain injury But any one of us is at risk for a concussion including our canine friends Dogs can get concussions because they can get traumatic injury to the brain explains Dr Jerry Klein chief veterinary officer with the American Kennel Club and emergency department head emeritus at MedVet Chicago All dogs are susceptible depending on experience Head injuries in dogs can be less obvious than in humans however for the simple reason that dogs cant talk to us So what are the signs a dog is suffering a concussion What can cause it And what do we do about it We spoke with a few experts to get the lowdown on concussions in our canine companions Causes of Canine Concussion For dogs like people a really common cause of concussion is vehicle accidents explains Dr John McCue veterinary specialist in internal medicine and neurology at the Animal Medical Center of New York City Especially in an urban area this is just another reason for folks to keep their animals on leash or somewhat confined and not out or unsupervised around roadways Though car accidents are the most frequent cause of concussion Klein and McCue have seen a range of others like falling from a porch or deck colliding with other dogs or trees getting kicked by large farm animals or accidentally getting hit with a baseball bat or falling debris Concussions typically result from blunt injuries Klein says though some are caused by attacks from another animal when a dog might be shaken or thrown to the ground McCue notes that while larger dogs may spend more time outdoors in dog parks and near roadways small dogs are equally susceptible to concussions These dogs are often carried around Sometimes theyre dropped and thats the source of their head trauma he says adding that small dogs can also be more easily injured by roughhousing in the dog parkparticularly if theyre tangling with a much bigger dog Another factor to take into account is dog breed while all dogs can get concussions Klein warns that domeheaded toy breeds like Chihuahuas could be more prone to concussion due to open fontanelles or moleras which are holes in the skull where bones have not fused together Symptoms of Canine Concussion When a human experiences head trauma a medical professional will initially ask questions to check memory and brain function Obviously Klein notes you cant do that with an animal You cant ask them what year it is what their name is and things like that So you look for tangible things that are apparent The first and most urgent of these is consciousnessif your dog has lost consciousness theres no time to waste in getting him medical attention But subtler signs can include problems balancing or walking vomiting or a condition called anisocoria where pupils are different sizes If one is a pinpoint and the other is larger and the dog has experienced some form of trauma thats kind of a red flag that the dog may have a concussion Klein says Even if your dogs pupils and movement are normal there are other signs that he or she may be suffering from a concussion The most common sign we see just like in people is a depressed level of consciousness explains McCue So the animal will look dull or sedated and is not interacting and not responsive to us after a head injury Another symptom that requires close attention is abnormal ocular reflexes Owners might pick up on rapid sidetoside or upanddown movements of the eyes he says It looks like dogs are repeatedly following a train or car passing by very quickly If you observe any of these symptoms or other unusual behaviors following a traumatic event prompt medical attention is strongly recommended What to Do If You Suspect a Concussion The first thing to do in the case of any trauma your dog experiences is to stop whatever activity heshe is involved in and get to a calm cool place If your pet has a normal level of consciousness and hes OK just a little shocked by what happened monitor him for any of the signs listed above McCue says In some cases the dog will not display any symptoms But if the trauma was significant enough its better to err on the side of caution I think that it would be safest to say that if you have a dog that has experienced any form of trauma to the head then its best to have the dog seen as soon as possible by your veterinarian just to make sure there isnt a problem Klein says Certainly if the dog has an altered mental condition like loss of consciousness at some pointeven if theyre recoveredthen it warrants them being seen by a veterinarian McCue notes that acting quickly is important when it comes to a concussion The time for interventionwhen our therapies can be most effectiveis very early on Sometimes he explains a dog might just need a little bit of support from the vet so they can go home and eat and drink and be comfortableBut if the same animal doesnt see a vet and has some nausea some pain or isnt eating and drinking well those secondary problems after the primary trauma can start to evolve And that can lead to a worse outcome Remember that your pet cant necessarily communicate their pain and confusionits up to you to be observant and do what needs to be done The most important thing is to not be cavalier about it If you witness or someone witnesses or you suspect that your dog has had some sort of trauma its always better to have it checked out because some of the worst things Ive seen dont look bad from the outside Klein says Getting Your Injured Dog to the Vet To avoid further injury its important to follow safety guidelines when transporting your dog to the vet If the dog is semiconscious or not doing well Klein says the general rule is to keep the head elevated at about a 30degree angle This relieves pressure on the brain and can be done using a cushion or pillow Additionally the dog should not be restrained or picked up around the head or neck McCue says He advises removing neck collars as compression of neck tissue can hinder the blood flow to the brain If you need to keep your dog on leash a shoulder harness is preferable or you can simply loop a leash or rope around one side of the neck and between the dogs front legs A dog who can not walk on his own will require a board or stretcher which means youll need the help of a friend to get him safely into the car The key isespecially if they were hit by a carto avoid a lot of manipulation You dont know what might be injured McCue says If your pup is unconscious or suffering severe symptoms its a good idea to call ahead to the vets office so they can prepare for your arrival Treatment So once you take your dog to the vet what happens According to our experts diagnostic procedures and treatment will vary depending upon the severity of the injury but there are a few standard procedures First theyll want to assess that the heart and lungs are working normally and that there isnt dehydration or low blood pressure says McCue Other common things would be intravenous fluid support oxygen and helping out with nausea Typically with potential head trauma Klein explains the veterinarian will want to keep the dog for monitoring The reason for that is the situation can be dynamicit can change There could be swelling of the brain andor intracranial bleeding If this is the case symptoms will worsen so the vet will observe and conduct tests Usually the vet will conduct a neurologic evaluation check the blood pressure and the temperature sometimes give oxygen and basically make sure things remain as normal as possible he says Observation by a vet is crucial McCue adds due to the danger of secondary injury when it comes to concussions Secondary injury is something that happens after that primary event he explains It sets off a cascade in the brain that involve swelling and inflammation and sometimes bleeding A veterinarian is equipped to catch these problems For this reason its best to get your pet into a medical setting instead of trying to monitor him at home While all of this may sound scary a canine concussion is rarely this grave As in humans single concussions in dogs will not usually lead to severe longlasting damage especially if treated in a timely manner In the bestcase scenario with a concussion there may not be very much a veterinarian needs to do McCue says If your pooch does not develop further symptoms during the monitoring period hell usually be sent home fairly quickly Follow your veterinarians instructions when it comes to followup care and activity restriction Preventing Concussions While dogs are indeed susceptible to concussions they are preventable in most cases Concussions dont result from a little bump on the head here or there but from more violent events like car accidents animal attacks or falls from high placesthe types of calamities from which we as pet parents can offer protection Keep your dog on leash or fenced in not roaming the streets and away from aggressive dogs or high unstable places Prevention is keyresponsible pet ownership McCue says A little bit of prevention and forethought can go a long way

Back to issue Federal AntiKickback Statute Applied to Pharmacy Activities SEPTEMBER 12 2014 Joseph L Fink III BSPharm JD A chief financial officer of a pharmacy made payments to secure referrals for prescriptions to be dispensed and knew that commissionbased arrangements between health care professionals and third parties are illegal Was it reasonable for a jury to convict him based on a conclusion that his issuance of the checks was a willful act ISSUE OF THE CASE When the chief financial officer of a pharmacy made payments to an individual who was referring patients with prescriptions to be dispensed knowing that the purpose of the payments was to secure referrals and that such commission based arrangements between health care professionals and third parties are illegal was it reasonable for a jury to have convicted him based on a conclusion that his issuance of the checks was a willful act FACTS OF THE CASE Federal prosecutors in a southern state filed criminal actions against a number of people affiliated with a pharmacy that specialized in preparing and dispensing an expensive medication to treat hemophilia The pharmacy made payments of up to 50 of their profits from a transaction to the individual or business that would refer the patient Another companion case was filed against an individual who worked for a business making referrals and receiving those payments An additional claim in this latter suit was that records had been falsified to justify ordering more medication than was necessary These legal entanglements arose from the The intertwined lawsuits involved counts of conspiracy to falsify medication records which is a violation of the federal health care fraud statute Additional charges addressed substantive counts of violating the health care fraud statute and a final charge alleged aiding and abetting of health care fraud The payment of inducements for referrals was addressed with claims arising under the federal antikickback statute There was a joint jury trial that included all the defendants Once the attorneys for the government had finished presenting their case the defendants made a motion for acquittal The relevant federal rule of criminal procedure states the court on the defendants motion must enter a judgment of acquittal of any offense for which the evidence is insufficient to sustain a conviction The trial court judge ruled on the motion announcing acquittal on some of the claims made by the prosecutors and allowing other claims to go to the jury He deferred ruling on a few of the motions until later in the proceedings Of the claims that went to the jury for a decision some resulted in guilty verdicts whereas others resulted in additional acquittals Once the jury had issued its ruling the judge denied all remaining motions for acquittal A number of other procedural twists and turns occurred The trial court judge sentenced 1 of the defendants to 15 months in federal prison to be followed by 3 years of supervised release but no fine was imposed Another defendant was sentenced to 3 years probation and a fine payable immediately of 1750000 Both defendants appealed their convictions but did not challenge the sentences they had received The governments attorneys appealed the decision of the trial court judge to overturn the conviction of the third defendant who issued the checks THE COURTS RULING The appellate court upheld the convictions of the first 2 defendants mentioned above However it overturned the trial courts judgment of acquittal of the third defendant sending the matter back to the trial court for entry of a judgment of guilty and announcement of the sentencing decision THE COURTS REASONING The appellate court concluded that the evidence produced at trial showed that the third defendant the chief financial officer of the pharmacy business entity signed the checks payable to those making referrals knew that the individual was not an employee of the pharmacy but rather was employed by someone else and knew that the payments were for referring patients to the pharmacy for goods and services He knew the payments were commission based and that the federal antikickback statute criminalized such arrangements Based on all that the appellate court concluded that a reasonable jury could have easily found that he Dr Fink is professor of pharmacy law and policy and Kentucky Pharmacists Association Endowed Professor of Leadership at the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy Lexington SHARE THIS 0

Panasonic Lumix TZ200 Review Panasonic Lumix TZ200 Introduction Panasonic updates its premium superzoom compact camera aka travelzoom the Lumix DMCTZ100 with the launch of the Panasonic Lumix DCTZ200 also known as the Lumix ZS200 However the TZ100 will not be phased out and the two cameras will be available simultaneously with the newer TZ200 the slightly more expensive option The Lumix TZ200 is billed as the one camera you need for your travels In fact Panasonic puts the TZ100 and TZ200 in a class of their own being the only superzoom compact cameras with a large 1inch sensor Alternatives include the Panasonic Lumix DCLX15 and Sony CyberShot RX100 series of cameras These cameras share similarities with the TZ200 but feature wider apertures lenses with a more limited zoom range We rather like the TZ100 which is an already solid camera So just how much does the Panasonic TZ200 build on the TZ100 This review highlights any improvements changes and new features of the TZ200 Weve had time shooting time with a preproduction version ahead of its launch in Mallorca and included plenty of sample pictures Now we have used a full production version in the UK too Lets take a look to see how we got on The Panasonic Lumix TZ200 retails at 729 and shipping is scheduled for 12th March 2018 available in black or silver Those that preorder the camera in the UK will get a free leather case with it In the US the Panasonic DCZS200 costs 799 and will be available in stores on 20th March 2018 Ease of Use At a Glance NEW 24 360 mm 15 x optical zoom lens with control ring 5axis hybrid OIS 201MP 1in sensor Burst shooting up to 10fps single AF and 6fps continuous AF NEW 233milliondot LVF with 053x magnification 124milliondot 3in LCD touchscreen 4K video up to 30fps with 15x focal length magnification Up to 120fps FHD video 4K Photo mode at 30fps with NEW Auto Marking feature USB battery charging NEW WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity NEW L Monochrome mode NEW 3cm macro Low Light Starlight AF370shotbattery life As you might expect from a compact camera that costs more than 700 the Panasonic Lumix TZ200 is a solid bit of kit It has a premium feel about it with a hardwearing aluminum frontage The design is sleek too Its similar to the TZ100 but put them side by side and the tweaks become evident There is a good thumb grip plus a new textured strip on the front of the TZ200 body which provides a little extra grip Its a welcome addition because the smooth metal front of the TZ100 is quite slippery Front of the Panasonic Lumix TZ200 As a compact camera the Lumix TZ200 will easily slip into a pocket Its essentially the same size as the TZ100 though slightly larger in all dimensions when compared to the Lumix LX10 and Sonys RX100s On the cameras rear you wont find a control wheel but there are several buttons each controlling regularly used settings such as AF mode drive mode plus the 4K photo mode The buttons are small and you could say fiddly but the same is true of any camera this size that offers so much manual control A large control wheel on the top handles nicely while the lens zoom lever is positioned around the shutter button Really the big point of interest here is the new lens Its a 15x optical zoom lens made up of 13 elements in 11 groups with a 24360mm equivalent focal length range Thats up from the 10x zoom range of the TZ100 which features a 25250mm lens No other compact camera with 1in sensor comes close to the Panasonic TZ200 Top of the Panasonic Lumix TZ200 That wider zoom range does come at a cost the maximum aperture is a little slower in the TZ200 being f3364 compared to f2859 The minimum aperture is f8 at any focal length Truly its quite the feat to cram in such a long reaching zoom lens into a compact camera with 1in imaging sensor Whats more the macro focusing has also been improved down from a minimum of 5cm to 3cm Again for a camera with 1in sensor thats impressive Of course the lens retracts into the body when not in use and the protrusion is not too bad There is a control ring on the lens through which changes to camera settings such as focus and aperture can be made In order to shoot sharp images and smooth videos a lot rides on the unchanged 5axis hybrid Image Stabilisation IS especially when shooting at those extended telephoto settings Offering a 360mm focal length is all very well but keeping the camera steady to get sharp shots is paramount Rear of the Panasonic Lumix TZ200 From our experience the image stabilisation is pretty darn good It is possible to get sharp handheld shots at 360mm with a shutter speed as slow as 160sec Certainly we papped away and have found it quite easy to get sharp shots from a distance The same goes for video As well as ensuring the sharpest possible shots from the lens stabilisation helps in the composition of images and video Without stabilisation the view is very shaky and moves about With stabilisation activated the correction for handshake makes composition and viewing significantly easier Well comment more about image quality at these telephoto lens settings later Panasonic says autofocusing has been improved in the TZ200 Its a similar system to the one used in the Lumix GX9 meaning you get the same AF modes to choose from These include Face Detection Tracking 49Area where all the 49 contrast detection AF points are in play Custom Multi up to 13AF points in play 1Area and Pinpoint Popup Flash For general shooting in high contrast light auto focus is fast and precise In low contrast light things get a little slower but on the whole we found the number of total AF misses respectably low The wide coverage of AF points means offcentre AF is not only possible but easy Manual focusing handles nicely via the control ring around the lens Focus magnification up to 20x means you can be more confident that your manual focusing is accurate Images can be viewed on the 3in 124milliondot touchscreen Thats a slightly higher resolution than before Touch AF especially Pinpoint and 1Area plus touch shutter work a treat For us Panasonic is one of the industry leaders for touchscreens they are a pleasure to use and offer plenty of functionality here including a menu with an additional four userassigned FN controls There is also the 233milliondot LVF which has a 053x magnification That is respectable for such a small camera Now we say also because in use the natural inclination is to use that lovely touchscreen not the viewfinder You see although the viewfinder is quite the step up from the TZ100 it is still very hard to see the scene through it especially when in bright light Viewfinder We are informed that the TZ200 is the only compact camera in Panasonics range that features WiFi and Bluetooth wireless connection You can now remotely control and share images using a smart device via the Panasonic Image App through an alwayson Bluetooth connection We find initial connection via Bluetooth a bit hitandmiss If you can get past step one and get connected then the Panasonic Imaging App runs like a dream and offers some useful features Battery life has been improved up from the 300shots of the TZ100 to 370shots when using the LCD screen or 350shots using the viewfinder Thats class leading by a good margin The Panasonic Lumix TZ200 can be charged via USB as well While testing the camera we have connected it to a portable 20000mAh Power Bank which would provide multiple fullcharges of the TZ200s 1025mAh battery We think USB charging is an undervalued feature in cameras with low capacity batteries With a Power Bank in play you could get weeks of use out of the camera without needing to plug it in at home Image Quality Ease of Use Image Quality Sample Images Product Images Product
