A. A. Public health looks at everyone from all over. We (I'm an epidemiologist) are concerned with things that may be coming down the pike and hit all of us (like bird flu, etc.). Community health mostly involves doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals that tailor interventions to a particular community's needs, and they generally don't plan out for "the bigger picture", although they do a heck a job in their locales, since they know it better.

Do public companies have to include a letter to shareholder in their annual report?
Q. I want to know what the CEOs of public companies are saying to their shareholders. I know that public companies are obligated to file the 10-K, but not all of them have to have glossy annual reports. I wanted to know if the CEOs have to write a letter to shareholders, or is that optional ?

A. I'm almost certain that only those Annual Reports are necessary; however; most CEOs include a letter to all shareholders.

How do you check a Public Defenders record in the courtroom?
Q. How can I check out his wins and losses and basically his job performance? I've only heard horror stories about Public Defenders, has anyone had a personal experience with one in the court system? Some people believe that there are only 2 kinds of Public defenders- Not good enough Attorney's to be hired by a law firm, or they have taken this position because they have political ambitions. Any input? Thanks for your input sensible, but you didn't really answer my question about checking his record. . .

A. There is no meaningful way to check a PD's record, because you would never have enough information to make a meaningful judgment. Suppose you found out that your PD had represented 100 defendants in jury trials and that 80 of them were convicted of the charged offense, 15 were convicted of a lesser offense, and 5 of them were acquitted. Is this a good record or a bad record? You can't tell. Maybe all of them were guilty of the charged offense, in which case the PD has a pretty good record -- he got a number of guilty people off. On the other hand, it might indicate that the PD isn't very good at all. Or it might suggest that the PD is very good (or very bad) at negotiating plea bargains (which never get to trial). No way to tell. … [cont.]
