Sorry for the cross posting again.....
My apologies: For some reason the links I built into the Health and
Wellness Provider Web Page Database, located at
http://healthbehavior.com/provider.shtml, did not work. It worked with
NETSCAPE, but not with EXPLORER. Think I fixed it. Please let me know if
you have any difficulty in reviewing this database, and, especially, if
you are not able to go the APPLICATION (place a zero as the total- this
is free for the first 50 applications). Sorry for any inconvenience
this may have caused.
My apologies, also, for not being clear about the purpose of the Web
Page database: to provide INDIVIDUALS with web pages, or links to their
INDIVIDUAL web pages, so that others can learn about their capacities
and network with them; people talking to people, person to person. I
could be wrong, but I believe it is more useful to find a provider, an
individual, by specialty area (not working yet!), or by location (not
available yet), rather than trying to go through an institutional web
page looking for the person (who is often not highlighted or even
listed) with the skills I need, or with whom I want to network . Ever
call a company looking for an answer and having to go through 20
different options before you got to where you wanted to go? Same idea
here: go directly to the individual source immediately.
We thought it would be most useful, at this time, especially for those
folks WITHOUT a free individual web page, to have one on the internet.
Most folks with institutional affiliations (i.e., with academic
institutions) and those with the means, have a web page or web site;
this offer is for folks without a web page, and those who want their
individual web page linked. Actually, if your university, for example,
does not allow INDIVIDUAL web pages, we'll build it for you for free
(for the first 50 applications)!
The offer is still free for 50 applications and 50 links. We have the
server space. Again, at this time, the offer is for 50 individual web
pages and 50 free links to individual pages. I will load your
institutional links, but they will be displaced with 50 individual pages
and 50 links to 50 Individual pages. An insitutional/group/association
web site is in the works.
If you're linking, all you need to do is REPLY (do not send a new
message) to this message, and send me your name, address, specialty and
web page address (with the "http://" as part of a full URL).
We want to know about you at this time, not your institution. Your
institutional web site and/or link can be loaded later. (We will be
offering non-profit organizations FREE web SITES! We are applying for
501(c) (3) status so this will be a perfect fit.)
Thanks,
Michael
PS: All of the links sent to me have been loaded and organized
alphabetically --which I am having trouble getting to function. I hope
to have this resolved by the end of the day, so you can search the
alphabetical listings. Thanks for your patience.

Yes, there will be a charge for services for everyone after the first 50 free web pages, and 50 free links. The pricing information is up front and real; no tricks, no hidden facts.
Yes, Mark, it costs money to run a server. If you can "show me the money," other than fees from customers or the sale of some of our curricula, please let me know. I would be forever grateful and could then open up the server for a free page for everyone!
Yes, we are in the process of becoming a 501(c)(3) since we already have a "0" (zero) as our bottom line. We are and never have been interested in profit, but got started with a ".com." unfortunately. I believe that after we gain 501(c)(3) status we'll probably make more money
than ever.
Yes, it costs money to buy bread and milk. Therefore, there are some who charge a fee so they can make money, so they can buy that bread and milk. If bread and milk were free, everyone could have a free web page.
I've been told that when you give it away for free, folks don't value it, or perceive that the product or service is "not really worth it." What are your thoughts on that concept?
Would "the advertising police," be for both non-profit entities and for profit companies, or just for the "for-profits?" As you know there have been many, many announcements by non-profits on this list server. Is that okay? After all, they're only collecting enough money to pay
all of the administration and FTE salaries, and indirect costs that one would expect, right? If we restrict a list server to allowing not-for profits announce classes and workshops (there are many examples of colleges and other 501(c) (3) groups advertising on the HEDIR) do you
really believe that that would be fair? Socialist, maybe, but not fair.

PS On almost all of our web pages we have links to over 20 different vendors. Each of those vendors pay us an average of 10% for linking to their sites. In other words, when you click on our AMAZON.COM link, then go to AMAZON.COM and buy something, we get up to 10% of YOUR total
purchase (spend $200 and amazon.com puts $20 into our account)! We make money when you click though to the vendors.
Here's the "rest of the story:" we give that money back to you or to your favorite health education association.
How many pages have you been to, whether non-profit of for-profit, that have made this kind of offer? No secret motive, no profit for profit's sake; we explain our motive on our FIRST page through a link that goes to this page: http://healthbehavior.com/SpecialAnnouce.html, and
at http://healthbehavior.com/vendors2.shtml
Does your company web page have links with a rebate? Does your association's page have links to for-profit businesses? How many of them are giving you a rebate? (If a page has a link they are making money, a PROFIT, off of your click through purchase.) I even print out my
account data sending it to anyone wishing to see it (made $1.17 last quarter!)
We have made that offer since we began adding for-profit links, and continue to offer the rebate, or money back. If being a ".com" has dissuaded folks from clicking through and getting their 10%, or rebate, I can only believe that they are simply missing an opportunity and are
stuck in their thinking. Being a ".com" is not evil. Being a for-profit is not bad. Being stuck in one-way thinking is bad.
Someone told me that our profession reminds him of the old west with one big difference: when the wagon trains were attacked, they formed a circle to fight back. We get ourselves in to our circle to fight back, but instead of turning our rifles out at the enemy, we continuously
point them in to the circle, at each other.

Listmates: some consultation please. It is easy to get carried away with
hyphenation. I know the general rule is to hyphenate two words used together
to mean something new. And often the convention does not follow the rule, or
the hyphen just adds another mark on the page without clarifying the
meaning. I've thought about this too much today and would appreciate some
fresh thinking. Please check your choices below. Comments appreciated. To
keep from filling up the emails, respond to me privately and I will
summarize for the list. Many thanks ahead! SS

I just had this conversation recently with a friend of mine who is a
journalist.
I don't think you can send attachments to the list so I will include what he
sent me as text below.
My answers (guesses) are below as well, but I won't vouch for their accuracy.
Be well,
Audrey
hyphen (-) Hyphens are joiners. Use them to avoid ambiguity or to form a
single idea from two or more words.
Some guidelines:
AVOID AMBIGUITY: Use a hyphen whenever ambiguity would result if it were
omitted: The president will speak to small-businessmen. (Businessmen normally
is one word. But the president will speak to small businessmen is unclear.)
Others: He recovered his health. He re-covered the leaky roof.
COMPOUND MODIFIERS: When a compound modifier - two or more words that express
a single concept - precedes a noun, use hyphens to link all the words in the
compound except the adverb very and all adverbs that end in -ly: a
first-quarter touchdown, a bluish-green dress. a full-time job, a well-known
man, a better-qualified woman, a know-it-all attitude, a very good time, an
easily remembered rule.
Many combinations that are hyphenated before a noun are not hyphenated when
they occur after a noun: the team scored in the first quarter. The dress, a
bluish green, was attractive on her. She works full time. His attitude
suggested that he knew it all.
But when a modifier that would be hyphenated before a noun occurs instead
after a form of the verb to be, the hyphen usually must be retained to avoid
confusion: The man is well-known. The woman is quick-witted. The children are
soft-spoken. The play is second-rate.
The principle of using a hyphen to avoid confusion explains why no hyphen is
required with very and -ly words. Readers can expect them to modify the word
that follows. But if a combination such as little-known man were not
hyphenated, the reader could logically be expecting little to be followed by
a noun. as in little man. Instead, the reader encountering little known would
have to back up mentally and make the compound connection on his own.
TWO-THOUGHT COMPOUNDS: serio-comic, socio-economic.
COMPOUND PROPER NOUNS AND ADJECTIVES: Use a hyphen to designate dual
heritage: Italian-American, Mexican-American. No hyphen, however, for French
Canadian or Latin American.
PREFIXES OR SUFFIXES: (A separate series of entries found elsewhere in the
stylebook; let me know if you want these.)
AVOID DUPLICATED VOWELS, TRIPLED CONSONANTS: Examples: anti-intellectual,
pre-empt, shell-like.
WITH NUMERALS: Use a hyphen to separate figures in odds, ratios, scores, some
fractions and some vote tabulations (each of these is also a separate entry
in the Stylebook.) When large numbers must be spelled out, use a hyphen to
connect a word ending in -y to another word: twenty-one, fifty-five, etc.
SUSPENSIVE HYPHENATION: The form: He received a 10- to 20-year sentence in
prison.
Hope this helps. As you've no doubt noted, it was helpful for me; now, maybe
I'll use them correctly, too!
