| I found one of the links that we were talking about,[http://www.ccgpp.org/delphi.pdf LBP guidelines]. This is the newest version that basically is the evolution of the [[Mercy Guidelines]]. There are more - a couple for nonmusculoskeletal conditions that you might be interested in as well. Especially notice the last three or four pages where it talks about treatment frequencies and red flags. Depending on the doctor, he/she can run the tests to help rule in or out those conditions, or can refer them to someone else to do it. When you talk about [[Integrative medicine]] from our perspective, it basically means that there is less need for us to do it ourselves. [[User:D. Matt Innis|D.

| [http://www.ccgpp.org/2.pdf Here] is the current review of the literature for non-NMS conditions for chiropractic care (not just spinal manipulation) which might include other CAM techniques like massage, etc.. I doubt that acupuncture or homeopathy is considered in these though. [[User:D. Matt Innis|D. Matt Innis]] 20:57, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

| I made two minor style copyedits and removed the "content is from Wikipedia" notice because of Milt's notice on the talk page. You might want to check to make sure my changes are appropriate and then maybe change the version to be approved before Matt gets to it. --[[User:Joe Quick|Joe Quick]] 16:54, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

| Your said: "''several defunct food- and agriculture-related workgroups''". Which do you have in mind? [[User:Chris Day|Chris Day]] 19:05, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

| :IIRC, at various times I've seen Agriculture, Food Sciences, and vaguely remember something like Culinary Arts. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 19:15, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

| == DC boundary oddities ==
| |
| | |
| I'm not sure about that "boundary-goes-down-the-middle-of-the-Potomac" thing. DC government's own GIS server, as well as Google Maps and MyTopo, show the boundary as the right bank of the river; i.e., all the water belongs to DC, and Virginia ends at the water's edge. I also seem to recall seeing signs on the highway bridges that announce "Welcome to Va or DC" at the bank, not in the middle.
| |
| | |
| Also, all those maps show the Pentagon as being entirely inside Virginia.
| |
| | |
| I seem to recall that somebody made practical use of this anomaly. There is or was a restaurant in Arlington or Alexandria that built a pier out into the river so they could serve liquor during days/hours when it was illegal to do so in Virginia but legal in DC.
| |
| | |
| Sorry to be so picky. But I believe there's a place for us nit-pickin' fact checkers in CZ -- just a surely as there's a special circle of Hell reserved for us! [[User:Bruce M.Tindall|Bruce M.Tindall]] 00:40, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :Sorry, then the map is wrong. Yes, the signs are at the ends of the bridges, but the boundary is mostly down the river. I lived around there for about 40 years, did news coverage in the Pentagon and found the anomaly (part of Washington National Airport is also technically in DC, but no one lives there.
| |
| | |
| :There aren't any riverfront restaurant/bars in Arlington. Yes, there are some at the end of King Street in Alexandria, but, since that end of Old Town floods easily, the restaurants, in general, moved back somewhat; too much water damage too often. There are marinas on either side of the river, and they are Virginia jurisdiction on one side and DC on the other. Both sides have separate water police. It gets confusing, because some of the water is under Federal police jurisdiction, where it abuts on National Park Service land. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C. Berkowitz]] 01:08, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

| | |
| ::There's a 1931 Supreme Court case and a 1945 federal statute that say the boundary is the Virginia shore of the river. Has there been any further legislation or litigation to change that to the middle of the river?
| |
| | |
| ::According to Smoot Sand & Gravel Corp. v. Washington Airport, Inc., 283 U.S. 348, the boundary is the "high-water mark" on the Virginia side of the river.
| |
| | |
| ::Then in 1945 Congress enacted PL 79-208, which can be found online where it is quoted in a Virgina legislative bill, at https://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp524.exe?021+ful+HB54 . It essentially sets the high-water mark as it existed in 1945 as the boundary, and cedes any land between the 1791 high water mark and the 1945 one back to Virginia.
| |
| | |
| ::So, yes, as you say, stuff built out into the river after 1945 would apparently be in DC; but according to this statute the boundary would seem to be the shore, not the middle of the river. [[User:Bruce M.Tindall|Bruce M.Tindall]] 20:15, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

| :::I can only say that the local police and emergency organizations treat the border as generally in the center, except where there is reclaimed land, as in the areas of the Pentagon and National Airport. D.C. has more water police than does Virginia, but the point is that both feel the need to have it. Go ahead and edit those in if you want, but I am going to go with direct experience, including with emergency services. I can't begin to count the current number, but at one point, there were nearly 30 law enforcement organizations with authority in D.C., and some interstate as well; it became necessary to have an undercover operations coordination center after a gunfight between undercover DC cops and the FBI. The Metrorail facilities under and over the Potomac are under the jurisdiction of the Washington Metropolitan Transportation Authority police, which is joint DC-Maryland-Virginia. WMATA is a little different than the Council of Governments, another three-jurisdiction activity. Theodore Roosevelt Island is under National Park Service police jurisdiction; it's closer to DC than Virginia and has a bridge across it, but neither DC nor Virginia police act there without invitation. It's an unusual area, and a great deal of activity is controlled by regional and Federal agreements, and the state-level formalities simply don't apply in practice. After some bad experiences, there are now hot pursuit arrangements for the police on both sides of the bridge; they have agreed not to have high-speed pursuit across commuter bridges unless killers are involved -- and it has happened.

| :::The in-town Potomac bridges are being closed for the Inauguration by Federal order, even though the states maintain the bridges. The new Wilson Bridge, between Alexandria and Maryland, is mostly funded by Virginia, but there are Maryland and federal contributions. It's just not a regular area as far as enforcement.
