SoulFire Report
- g
- GaryLovesFood Jun 28, 2006 05:01 PM
I went the first two nights. It's a pretty good looking place with nice dark wood tables and chairs. It's counter service only, with self serve cutlery and sauces, similar to Blue Ribbon.
The first night I got a spare ribs and pulled pork combo, with cole slaw and collard greens. I also sprung for an extra side of baked beans. The ribs were very meaty and loaded with a rub that was strong on flavor without being too spicy. The ribs were good: very tender, with a pink smoke ring and a pleasing cloves taste. They were a little on the fatty side and not as warm as they could be, but I was impressed. The pulled pork, served on a slice of white bread, had an assortment of pulled strips from different parts of the shoulder, with a little bark. Some of the pieces were a little dry, some were juicy, but all had good flavor. The second night I had the babybacks. Not as meaty, flavorful or fatty as the spares, but good. Same thick rub.
Meats get served without sauce; there are 5 very good sauces to choose from (hot, sweet, tangy, vinegar, mustard), three of them warm.
The pickles were great! They give you a lot and they have a lot of spice (these weren't available Tuesday night). Cole slaw was crisp, with little to no dressing. The baked beans were a little dry. The collard greens were excellent, with big leaves, lots of bacon and a great (sweet/vinegar) flavor. Corn bread good.
This is a nice addition to the area. It's on Harvard Ave a few doors north of Commonwealth Ave.
Thanks for being the first to report on this place. I was thinking of trying it this weekend. How are the prices and was it very busy?
I checked out SoulFire (yes, one word) yesterday as well, and was less impressed.
Of course, I'm not going to rush to judgement so early, but...
Spare ribs had a thick layer of rub that was nicely flavored but oddly textured -- a little dry and like compacted powder. Ribs definitely tasted of smoke, but the meat was tough. And I had to--GASP!--use a knife to cut through a few strands of pulled pork. Coleslaw was inedible (and I like cheap, sweet, 'cue-joint slaw). Corn bread tasted of Jiffy mix, but the corn kernels (frozen) were a nice addition. Potato salad was very tasty, as were all of the homemade sauces. Fried mac-n-cheese balls (what'd you call me...?) were deliciously slutty drunk food...too bad SoulFire doesn't serve alcohol.
As I said, I'll be back in a few weeks to see if they've ironed out the kinks.
Prices were pretty typical and reasonable. I thought the portions of sides were very generous. There was some traffic, but it wasn't too busy.
For full menu and prices, see: www.soulfirebbq.com.
I walked by here the other night (live sort of near by) and am a BBQ fiend. One pet peeve I have (and blue ribbon does this too) is leave the membrane on the bottom of the ribs. Do you remember if SoulFire removes it?
Thanks for the heads up and as the reports trickle in I may be forced to try it as well as continuing my drives to Blue Ribbon.
Most places that have a high volume seem to leave the membrane on. I've pulled enough off before smoking to realize what a pain in the butt it is so I can understand I guess. I do, however, agree that it's somewhat annoying.
I know its a pain in the butt and don't look forward to doing it this weekend (though I will as its my preferance). Most high volume/high price rib places leave it on which is what bothers me a little bit. The "Lone Bone" at Blue Ribbon is over $2 and at two bucks a rib its something that should be removed in my opinion.
This doesn't stop me from frequenting blue ribbon as its the best bbq around but its something that nags me as laziness and complacency as the best bbq joint around. I once asked why they don't remove it and they guy had no idea what a membrane on the rib was. Its a shame because I know for a fact the guy has been working there for over 3 years easily.
Having eaten BBQ in memphis for a 4 day "tour de BBQ" every place I remember (now its a year or so later thus I could be wrong) had the membrane removed and better BBQ than Blue ribbon.
Just my two cents on the matter.
I just got back from my first tasting of SoulFire. I had a Pulled Pork Sandwich with a side of mac n/ cheese and some collard greens. I really enjoyed my pulled pork, it was nice and moist and not tough as others hinted at.
The mac n' cheese was good, but not the best I have ever had. They crumbled something like potato chips on top, it didn't hurt or help the taste. But I've come to love the baked mac n' cheese that is just sitting in greese and is almost a solid block of heart attack.
The collard greens were some of the best I have had. full of flavor and nice chuncks of bacon. I really enjoy my collard greens with hot sauce, but the closest they came to that was fire bbq sauce, and that just didn't cut it. I talked with the owner and they said they are in the process of making their own hot sauce, I am looking forward to this.
The owner (whyatt wyatt, why-at I don't know how he spells it) was super nice and came up and asked us if we had any suggestions about the food. He then gave us a short tour of the kitchen, mainly looking at their smoker. It made my day.
All in all I'm excited for this place, a good six dollar pulled pork sammy between me and the Harvard T stop...I don't think life gets much better than that.
Man, must have been SoulFire Day. Sounds like we had a Chowhounds gathering without realizing it. I tried it too and came in somewhere in between. Wanted to try the burnt ends but they didn't have any despite being on the menu. Got the pulled pork sandwich with side of potato salad and pickles. Pulled pork not at all tough, with a nice mixture of crusty outside and inside meat with a noticeable but not overwhelming smoke flavor. My one criticism is that it wasn't at all warm, just room temp. Would have been better with just a bit of warmth. I had the NC sauce, a nice, thin vinegar sauce with a mild kick and not a lot of sweetness (most common BBQ sauce fault IMO). Potato salad on the side was very good - pleasingly chunky with the potatoes just cooked, not turned into mush as they are many places (after reading the above, definitely going for the collards next time) and not drowning in mayo. Staff very nice and eager to be helpful. Defintely a nice change of pace to have in the neighborhood.
Thanks to Garylovesfood for the first report. I tried SoulFire yesterday and was very pleased. The ribs were meaty with a smokiness that was present but not overpowering. There wasn't the nice lingering of smoke on your fingers that one gets down south or in the midwest but still not bad. The meat had good texture (i.e. not parboiled falling off the bone tender). The rub and sauce were complex in a good way. The collards as someone indicated asre excellent. The mac and cheese was so so. i saw them saucing the macaroni with milk and a overly thick cheese sauce right on the steam table. Definite no no. Cornbread was very good. For a half rack with generous sides, it was $12.00, good value compared with the 1/4 rack for $11.00. I think it's comparable to Blue Ribbon (duck before the tirade begins) though not up to Holy Smokes in Western Mass. I'm glad it's in the neighborhood and will be back often.

Landauer, Inc. (NYSE:LDR)
The Company is a provider of analytical services to determine occupational and environmental radiation exposure.
Occupational and environmental radiation exposure? Doesn't really sound like something with a lot of potential. But there is, and there's one word to explain why. OIL! It's too damned expensive right now. Most countries with a nuclear infrastructure are beginning to re-invest in nuclear technology and have already come up with plans to build new reactors. Unfortunately for them, since no one has really built a reactor in over a decade, many companies are finding that there's fewer and fewer people who actually KNOW how to build one of last generation's model. This is even more complicated by the fact that many of the new reactors on the books are going to be using new reactor designs (like the kind developed by GE). At the end of the day there's going to be a lot of nervousness and caution with the first new generation of reactors built, which means a lot of testing, a lot of analysis and in short a lot of work for companies like Landauer.

Compostable Products
What They Are
Compostable products are items made from renewable resources such as corn, sugar cane, grasses, palm leaves, and even wood instead of petroleum-derived plastic. Here's what you need to know before you buy compostable products, and especially before you dispose of them.
Buy only products that display the following:
- The "compostable" BPI logo (see image to the right)
- The phrase "meets ASTM standards for compostability"
- One or both of the above identifiers on their website, packaging or other materials.
These products have been independently tested and are proven to meet the following standards when disposed of in a commercial composting facility such as Green Mountain Compost:
- The entire product will completely break down into organic matter that can be digested as food by microorganisms in the composting process.
- This breakdown happens within 180 days.
- The microorganisms will consume the material at the same rate as they would natural materials such as food scraps, soiled paper, leaves and other yard debris.
To help you find products that are acceptable, CSWD and Green Mountain Compost have created these purchasing guidelines. Please share them with your vendor and with anyone responsible for purchasing food service products for your business, institution or event.
What's Okay/What's Not
The chart below shows general product types and whether they are acceptable for composting at Green Mountain Compost.
For a list of specific products we will accept, please see the Cedar Grove Compost website.
The Cedar Grove website provides an extensive list of products approved at their facility in Washington State, which has a composting process similar to Green Mountain Compost's. We're grateful for the time and energy Cedar Grove has put into product testing.
The Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI) has an online catalog of food service products it has certified as compostable in commercial facilities. Please be careful that the product you select is certified compostable. Some companies that make certified products also make other products that are not certified.
|Products accepted at our facility
|Uncoated paper products
|Napkins, uncoated paper plates (e.g. Chinet brand), paper towels
|Uncoated paper-like fiber products (must be certified)
|Clamshells, plates or bowls made from sugarcane ("bagasse") or other plant pulps
|PLA* or PLA-lined cups and bowls (must be certified)
|Clear PLA cups for cold beverages, PLA-lined paper hot cups and bowls
|PLA liner bags (must be certified)
|Many brands available, including Bio Bags, NaturBag, BioTuf and others. Readily available online and at some local retailers (see list below).
|Compostable utensils
|Many brands available. Must be certified as compostable by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI), or that have met the ASTM D6400 or D6868 testing standards.
|Products NOT accepted at our facility
|Petroleum-based plastic of any kind
|Bags, utensils, cups, clamshells, etc.
|Any plastic bags or other products that say "degradable" or any variation of that word, including "bio-degradable" and "oxo-degradable".
|Several local businesses use these kinds of bags. If you see these words on a bag, it should go in the trash. "Green N Pack" brand bags also are NOT compostable.
*PLA stands for polylactic acid, a polymer derived from renewable sources such as corn starch, cane sugar or tapioca.
Local Retailers That Carry Compostable Products
These retailers have all been notified of our requirements for bioplastic and other compostable products. Please note that these retailers may also carry products that are NOT accepted at Green Mountain Compost. We welcome suggestions for additions or corrections to this list.

Since many bioplastics will break down in commercial composting conditions, proponents tout them as a great, "green" alternative to plastics made primarily from petroleum. Debate on this topic is ongoing, and controversy surrounds various life-cycle analyses that show seemingly conflicting results when all factors–from source material extraction/cultivation to disposal methods—are considered in the total environmental impact of bioplastics vs. other products.
Also, bioplastics are NOT recyclable with conventional plastics. If these products end up in the recycling stream, they contaminate and degrade recyclable materials.
Finally, like any material, bioplastics decompose extremely slowly in the dark, airless environment of a landfill. When bioplastics DO begin to break down in this anaerobic (oxygen-free) environment, they produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.
For more on the difference between "biobased", "biodegradable", and "compostable" plastics, read Focus on Bioplastics , produced by The Washington State Department of Ecology. It provides general definitions, clarifies misconceptions, and discusses end-of-life management.
Our Policy
Green Mountain Compost will continue to accept bioplastic products that are certified as compostable by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI), or that have met the ASTM D6400 or D6868 testing standards.
In addition to proof of certification, we require that all bioplastic products be clearly labeled with the word "compostable" or another label readily identifying their compostability so that we can sort them from identical non-compostable plastics.
Green Mountain Compost reserves the right to exclude any product that does not break down within 8 weeks of standard processing in our system, regardless of whether the product meets the above standards. We recently completed our own "Compostable Cutlery Test". Click here to see the results.
How You Can Help
- Use durable goods instead of disposables! Products that can be cleaned and reused over and over again always have a lower environmental impact than single-use, disposable products. Ask your favorite restaurant, cafeteria, or other food venue for a non-disposable solution.
- Insist that any compostable containers you purchase for your business, event or home use are BPI certified or supply other proof of ASTM D6400 or D6868 standards. Refer to our Purchasing Guidelines for Compostable Food-Related Products for more information.
- Insist that these certified products are clearly labeled with the word "compostable."
- If you buy something from a restaurant or cafe that is using bioplastics or any other compostable container, ask the staff where you should dispose of that item. We believe that businesses that sell compostable containers or products in these containers have a responsibility to provide compost collection on-site when appropriate, or to make sure their customers know how and where to best dispose of the material off-site.

Moo & Oink goes up for auction
BY SANDRA GUY Business firstname.lastname@example.com November 14, 2011 11:00AM

Updated: December 16, 2011 8:09AM
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Jack Schmetterer on Monday ordered the public auction of revered African-American community meat-store operator Moo & Oink.
"It seems this is the best chance to get the company operating under new management and restore the business," Schmetterer said at a hearing Monday. "I hope that works."
Last week, Schmetterer told lawyers for Moo & Oink and its main creditor, First Midwest Bank, to put in writing assurances that the auction would be widely publicized and held in a venue large enough for former employees and the media to attend.
The auction will take place at 10 a.m. Dec. 14 at 111 S. Wacker in Room 2932 with room for 125 people.
Schmetterer placed Moo & Oink in Chapter 7 bankruptcy on Sept. 30, after the United Food and Commercial Workers Union Local 1546 and the union pension and health and welfare funds filed a claim alleging that Moo & Oink owes the pension and other funds $3 million. The union represented Moo & Oink employees.
Moo & Oink disagrees that it owes $3 million to the pension fund, said attorney Rick Firfer, who represents Moo & Oink.
The company's business income had dropped to $18.9 million while it operated in 2011, compared with $29.2 million in 2010 and $39.3 million in 2009, court documents show.
Moo & Oink's top 20 creditors are owed a collective total of $6.4 million.
Major retail chains are looking at the Moo & Oink properties, lawyers in the case say. The company could be sold as a whole or in pieces, including its website and branded products as separate from the retail stores.
Moo & Oink has stores on the edges of the city's so-called "food desert," and so has drawn interest, said Courtney Barr, the lawyer for Moo & Oink's sole secured creditor, First Midwest Bank. The Chicago stores are at 7158 S. Stony Island, 4848 W. Madison and 8201 S. Racine.
She said one national retailer has expressed interest in buying the entire business.
A group of African-American investors also has expressed interest in buying Moo & Oink as a whole.
Best Chicago Meat Co., which makes burgers, hot dogs, sausages and Italian beef for retailers and restaurants, is interested in buying Moo & Oink's intellectual property, including its branded products, said Best Chicago Meat Co. President Dave Van Kampen, who attended the hearing Monday.
Mari Gallagher, a Chicago consultant who has led research into the city's food desert, said that retaining a business presence at the Moo & Oink locations in Chicago and protecting the food desert border from further erosion "is crucial if we want to continue making progress in shrinking the food desert."
Moo & Oink's demise put 200 employees out of work on Sept. 9 after it closed its three stores in Chicago, its grocery store in south suburban Hazel Crest and its e-commerce and wholesale operations. The employees received no severance benefits.
Mary Steele, a spokeswoman for the former employees, said Monday she is concerned whether a new owner would rehire the former employees as union-represented workers.
"Will (a new owner) bring the employees back to work?" she said.
The lawyer for Mort Levy, who ran the company during its decline, said the business downturn was primarily due to the declining economy, increased unemployment, increased competition from value chains and a shrinking customer base that was growing older and smaller.
John Smith, a former Moo & Oink assistant district manager who worked there for more than 25 years, said in a recent interview that no other retailer has been able to convey the sense of fun, excitement and unique experiences.
"It brought tears to my eyes when I heard (Moo & Oink) might go out of business," said Smith, who now works as an assistant manager at a Save-A-Lot store on the city's South Side.
Smith valued his bosses at Moo & Oink — Barry Levy and Barry and Harvey Lezak — and credited them for hiring African-Americans and giving back to the community.
"This is something we built in the African-American community. The stores would have lines down the block trying to get in on any summer holiday, and we'd have a line out the door for fish on Fridays."
"It needs to be saved," he said. "We have to save it."

Jul 2, 2013This isn't the Ben Folds Five I remember. This is some lukewarm rendition that doesn't know what it wants to do. Identity crisis time. Are we grown up?, they ask themselves. Yeah so lets do ballads but without any melody. Are we self-observing-yet assured awkward hipsters still? Yeah but we aren't going to write anything witty, clever or lyrically smooth with the music.
All these songs are bland and too long. And I mean all of them. Track 2 is okay but who the heck is Michael Praytor and why should we care?

Dodgers Not Close on Any Deal
Dodgers GM Ned Colletti said he wasn't close to any trades and basically said the club's three top prospects — Joc Pederson, Corey Seager and Julio Urias — are untouchable. "At this point in time, we don't want to trade any of the three — period," he said. That essentially leaves the Dodgers out of deals for any elite starter rumored available (David Price, Jon Lester, Cole Hamels), and Colletti didn't sound optimistic about landing a back-end starter or reliever by Thursday's deadline, either. — Ken Gurnick
Hands Off Dodgers Prospects
One day before the trade deadline, the Dodgers continue to tell clubs they won't trade their top three prospects — Joc Pederson, Corey Seager or Julio Urias. That means they aren't expecting to land elite starters David Price, Cole Hamels or Jon Lester. Several players suggested John Lackey would be nice fit, but the front office might settle for relief help, which was the original priority anyway. — Ken Gurnick
More Dodgers pitching speculation
Ever since the deep-pocketed Guggenheim Partners bought the Dodgers, they've been linked with trading for just about every marquee name imaginable. Now Fox Sports speculates that the Dodgers are interested in Phillies lefty Cole Hamels, who would come with nearly $100 million left on his contract.
The club, however, has given no indication it wants to pick up that kind of contract and trade away any of its top three prospects — Joc Pederson, Corey Seager and Julio Urias — with a deal for an elite pitcher likely to cost at least two of them.
The Dodgers will continue to be linked with Hamels, David Price and Jon Lester as Thursday's non-waiver trade deadline approaches.
– Ken Gurnick
Kemp trade rumors, but no Kemp trade
Matt Kemp rumors are coming fast and furious, although the teams supposedly interested must still think the Dodgers are willing to give away the outfielder. Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti on Saturday indicated that wasn't the case, implying that Triple-A prospect Joc Pederson isn't yet ready for the Major Leagues, and a trade of any veteran Dodgers outfielder almost surely would be linked to the promotion of Pederson. Besides, the new outfield arrangement of Kemp in right, Yasiel Puig in center, Carl Crawford in left and Andre Ethier on the bench has produced two convincing wins over the Giants. It has never been Colletti's history to replace a veteran with a rookie, anyway. The most recent exception was last year's promotion of Puig, but that came during a rash of injuries. — Ken Gurnick
More Kemp Trade Speculation
CBSSports.com is the latest to speculate on an upcoming trade of Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp, claiming five teams have "shown interest, or talked to" the Dodgers about Kemp, who has been unhappy since being moved out of center field. Dave Stewart, Kemp's agent, was quoted as saying that "eight years is a long time to be in one place." Stewart had predicted that Kemp would be traded at last year's Winter Meetings. Trading Kemp, Andre Ethier or Carl Crawford would allow the Dodgers to promote top prospect Joc Pederson to play center field. Manager Don Mattingly has said he might play Yasiel Puig in center and Kemp in right. — Ken Gurnick
Dodgers Looking, Not Finding
With a week before the trade deadline and the back end of the starting rotation taking on water, the Dodgers are not close on any transaction as they prepare for the weekend showdown series in San Francisco. The front office would move Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier or Carl Crawford to open a spot for top prospect Joc Peterson, but all three have huge contracts. Most trade partners want Pederson, Corey Seager and Julio Urias, but management has resisted all inquiries for the system's few jewels so far. The stalemate could drag into August, when more clubs become sellers and supply balances with demand. — Ken Gurnick
ESPN Links Dodgers and Papelbon
ESPN cited an unnamed baseball source that expects the Dodgers to pursue Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon. If true, the Dodgers would be absorbing as much as $30 million in salary for the remainder of this year, next year's guarantee and a vesting option for 2016. The Dodgers already have a closer in Kenley Jansen, but have indicated they would like to add another set-up reliever. The Phillies are eager to unload salary and the deep-pocketed Dodgers have quickly become the go-to club for salary dumps. The Dodgers, however, have no interest in trading top prospects Joc Pederson, Corey Seager or Julio Urias. The ideal trade for the Dodgers would include moving one of their high-priced outfielders — Matt Kemp, Carl Crawford or Andre Ethier. — Ken Gurnick
Colletti Won't 'Tear Apart' Farm System for Elite Pitcher
Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said he doesn't expect to be acquiring an "elite" pitcher (in other words, David Price) because the cost would be multiple top prospects and "I don't see us doing anything to tear apart our farm system." The Dodgers top prospects are outfielder Joc Pederson, infielder Corey Seager and left-handed pitcher Julio Urias.
Colletti did say he's on the lookout for pitching, as he is at the trade deadline every year. He has previously mentioned being in search of relief help, but acknowledged that the club needs "to be careful" with pitching in general. In recent weeks, starter Josh Beckett has gone on the disabled list with a hip impingement and Dan Haren has been inconsistent. — Ken Gurnick
Crawford Could Make for a Crowd
Carl Crawford begins a rehab assignment Saturday night at Triple-A Albuquerque for a sprained ankle that put him on the shelf for six weeks. His estimated return around the All-Star break will again create an outfielder surplus and maybe this time management will finally move one of them. Prior to his injury, the clubhouse chemistry was sour when Crawford and Matt Kemp had to share playing time. The Red Sox, among others, have been following the Dodgers closely and have long had interest in Andre Ethier, whose bat finally showed signs of life in the last week. Whether it be Ethier, Crawford or Kemp, each has a huge contract. The Dodgers would either be forced to eat part, or pick up somebody else's huge contract. GM Ned Colletti has said bolstering the bullpen is the immediate focus. — Ken Gurnick
Jamey Wright on Dodgers Radar
If the Dodgers add a long reliever, as general manager Ned Colletti recently said is a possibility, the primary candidate is familiar face Jamey Wright, who served in the role nicely in 2012. Wright, 39 this month, went 5-3 with a 3.72 ERA in 66 appearances for the Dodgers in 2012. But they didn't bring him back in 2013, when he signed another Minor League contract and had an even better season for Tampa Bay (2-2, 3.09, 66 appearances). He also reached the post-season for the first time in an 18-year career. After re-signing Brian Wilson to set up last week, Colletti said he was still looking for right-handed and left-handed middle relievers, and possibly a long reliever. — Ken Gurnick

Hospitals Must Recruit Nurses to Their Leadership Boards
This week marks the 4th anniversary of the Institute of Medicine's future of nursing report. David L. Knowlton is president and CEO of the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute.
Nurses truly run the front lines of hospitals. Their leadership oversees every hospital quality initiative essential to improving care—from reducing hospital-acquired infections, to cutting unnecessary readmissions, to preventing patient falls.
Poor scores in these quality measures now result in government penalties that can hit hospitals hard.
And as health care evolves and hospitals stretch beyond their own walls, nurses are leading the programs that bring health care into communities. They are critical to the success of health reform as more Americans obtain health insurance and seek primary care.
So tell me something? Why is the highest level of hospital leadership in our nation nearly devoid of nurses?
Surveys find the number of nurses with voting positions on hospital boards is about 4 to 6 percent — an unfathomable statistic for anyone who understands, even a little, how hospitals work.
We need the leadership of nurses on every hospital board.
A Business Community Board Role Broadens a Nurse Leader's Horizons
This week marks the 4th anniversary of the Institute of Medicine's future of nursing report. Sandra McDermott, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, is an assistant professor of nursing and the director of health and service related professions at Tarleton State University in Fort Worth, Texas. A member of the Texas Team Action Coalition, which recently launched the Nurses On Board training program, she is a newly appointed member of the board of directors for the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce South Area Council.
I have been in my university director position for about six months now, and I knew that before I started teaching classes this fall, I had an opportunity to really get involved in the Fort Worth community. I wanted to get my name out there, because when I do that, I am getting my school's name out there, too. I started attending Chamber events and enjoyed them, and I realized that the South Area Council is the one that encompasses the hospital district, which is where I want to have a lot of my connections.
If my role is to draw nursing students and build awareness for our nursing programs, then clearly, focusing on the hospital district makes a lot of sense. I had made a strong connection with a South Area Council board member, so I lobbied the Chamber to join the board, and they ultimately added a new spot and appointed me to it, which was very humbling. They did not have a university represented on the Council, and they saw value in having a nurse and an educator join them.
The main campus for my school is about 90 miles away. Everyone knows about our presence there, where there are around 8,600 students. But in Fort Worth, we have around 1,600 students, and the nursing programs are relatively new and very small. I knew I needed to be out in the community as we build up our programs, and what better way to do it than to be at multiple Chamber functions? And as a board member, I knew I could influence a lot more people. In the hospital district, I can go in as not only a nurse and an educator, but a Chamber leader as well. That is a great platform to advocate for my school programs and for wellness and health care as community priorities.
Celebrating Four Years of Nurses Leading Change to Advance Health
Susan B. Hassmiller, PhD, RN, FAAN, directs the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action, which is implementing recommendations from that report. Hassmiller also is senior adviser for nursing for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
This week marks the fourth anniversary of The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, the landmark Institute of Medicine (IOM) report that galvanized the nursing field and partners to participate in health system transformation. Nurses nationwide are heeding the report's call to prepare for leadership roles at the national, state and community levels. Why? Simply put, nurses coordinate and provide care across every setting, and they can represent the voices of patients, their families and communities. Nurses are the reality check on committees and in boardrooms.
The Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action, a national initiative led by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and AARP to implement recommendations from the future of nursing report, is promoting nursing leadership—and I'm thrilled by our progress.
To date, Action Coalitions report that 268 nurses have been appointed to boards. Virginia has implemented an innovative program to recognize outstanding nurse leaders under age 40, and several other states including Arkansas, Nebraska and Tennessee are offering similar programs. New Jersey has set a goal of placing a nurse leader on every hospital board. Texas has partnered with the Texas Healthcare Trustees to provide its nurses with governance and leadership education to prepare them for board leadership. Even better, other states are fostering nursing leadership by adopting these best practices.
RWJF Scholars & Fellows Speak: What's a Culture of Health? What Does It Take to Get There?
Linda Wright Moore, MS, is a senior communications officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
Developing a vision for a national "culture of health" has been central to internal discussions at the Foundation, as we've engaged in a deliberative process of strategic planning for the future.
For the past year since marking our 40th anniversary, we've been asking ourselves where we should set our sights and focus our energies in a rapidly changing world, in order to advance our mission to improve health and health care for all. Consider: the population is aging, becoming more diverse. Technological advances are transforming how we communicate, how we provide health care, and more. "Big data" is making once tedious and time-consuming calculations and analysis routine. Out of our deliberations—a new vision of the way forward has emerged, presented in the 2013 President's Message from Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, MBA: "We, as a nation, will strive together to create a culture of health enabling all in our diverse society to lead healthy lives, now and for generations to come."
To begin to informally road test that vision, we posed a question to RWJF grantees and alumni at an RWJF-sponsored reception at the AcademyHealth meeting in Baltimore last summer. In impromptu interviews, we asked, "What is a culture of health? What does it take to get there?"
A Journey Well Worth Taking
Linda Burnes Bolton, DrPH, RN, FAAN, is vice president for nursing, chief nursing officer, and director of nursing research at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She was vice chair of the Institute of Medicine Commission on the Future of Nursing, and is a trustee of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. It has been three years since the Institute of Medicine issued Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health.
Developing the Institute of Medicine report, Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health and working to implement its recommendations has been a magnificent journey. It hasn't been about nursing, but rather about health and health care. We focus on nursing, because it is one of the keys to improving health and health care. But our success, and the reason people are joining us on this journey, is because the report and its recommendations mean better health for the public and a stronger health care system for the country.
What began as a report has become a groundswell. It is doing exactly what we hoped it would do, bringing people together to strengthen our health care system. Today a large, multidisciplinary, national movement is engaging nurses, consumers, and other health professionals in local and regional efforts to bring this report to life. There are great examples, for instance, of people from diverse fields coming together to remove practice barriers, physicians saying they believe medicine must be a "team sport," consumers working to improve care in their communities—and much more.
Leading in a Collaborative Environment: A Top 10 List for Getting There
Susan B. Hassmiller, PhD, RN, FAAN, is senior adviser for nursing at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and director of the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action. Three years ago, the Institute of Medicine issued Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, which supports "efforts to cultivate and promote leaders within the nursing profession—from the front lines of care to the boardroom." The goal, the report says, is that nurses be full partners, with physicians and other health professionals, in redesigning health care in the United States.
The only way to achieve a healthier future for everyone in this country is to work collaboratively toward that goal. Leading in a collaborative environment takes very special skills. To find effective leaders, we must consider the skills, talents, and experience of everyone who aspires to leadership, regardless of their profession.
In fact, there is no evidence pointing to a single profession as having all requisite leadership skills to get our population to a healthier state. It is truly about the skills, talents, and experience of the whole team, and everyone on the team should be considered a potential leader.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health states that all professions should be equal partners in leading health and health care efforts in this country to assure access, affordability, quality, and a healthier future for all. The IOM committee members who shaped that report made extremely thoughtful recommendations on leadership.
Below, I add my own take, based on experience, about what it takes to lead in a collaborative environment.
The Future of Nursing: A Look Back at the Landmark IOM Report
By Harvey V. Fineberg, MD, PhD, president of the Institute of Medicine, and Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, MBA, president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. This commentary originally appeared on the Institute of Medicine website.
Three years ago, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released its landmark report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, made possible by the support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). In light of the tremendous need for nurses in health care today and in the future — due to the growing numbers of people with chronic diseases, an aging population, and the need for care coordination — the report provided a blueprint for how to transform the nursing profession. Recommendations put forth by the report committee included removing barriers to practice and care, expanding opportunities for nurses to serve as leaders, and increasing the proportion of nurses with a baccalaureate degree to 80 percent by 2020.1
Spurred by the 2010 IOM report, RWJF and AARP partnered to establish the Campaign for Action, an initiative to mobilize action coalitions in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to utilize nurses more effectively in confronting the nation's most pressing health challenges. Although we have made measurable progress in the past 3 years, we have more work to do to fully realize the potential of qualified nurses to improve health and provide care to people who need it.
Making Nurses' Academic Progression a Reality
Maryjoan Ladden, PhD, RN, FAAN, is a senior program officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
There is near-universal agreement among health care stakeholders and experts that the country needs to grow the number of primary care providers. If the health care system is to meet the growing demand for care that will result from the greying of the Baby Boomers and the influx of millions of newly insured Americans, we're going to need a bigger, better-prepared health care workforce.
That's a point the 2010 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, made very clearly with respect to nurses. That landmark report also pointed out that health care is becoming increasingly complex as our understanding of illness grows and as the tools and systems we have available to combat it change and evolve.
Primary Care on the Front Lines of Innovation
Maryjoan Ladden, PhD, RN, FAAN, is a senior program officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
During a recent visit to my adopted home state of Massachusetts, I took a fresh look at a primary care practice I had previously known only from afar. I was part of the team visiting Cambridge Health Alliance–Union Square Family Health, which is one of 30 primary care practices recognized as exemplar models for workforce innovation by The Primary Care Team: Learning From Effective Ambulatory Practices (LEAP) project. This project, a new initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the MacColl Center at Group Health Research Institute, is studying these 30 practice sites to identify new strategies in workforce development and interprofessional collaboration. The overarching goal of LEAP is to better understand the innovative models that make primary care more efficient, effective, and satisfying to both patients and providers, and ultimately lead to improved patient outcomes.
This site visit took me back to my time as a nurse practitioner at Boston Medical Center, Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, and Boston's school-based health centers. This is where my passion for primary care began. As we prepare for millions more Americans to enter the health care system in the coming year, we must identify ways to expand access to primary care, improve the quality of care, and control costs. One important way is by exploring how to optimize the varied and expansive skill sets of all members of the primary care team. This idea has been examined in medical and popular media, but there has been little study of the workforce innovations employed by primary care practices to meet the increasing demands for health care.
Implementing the Affordable Care Act: Getting Beyond Drama to the Real Deal on Health Reform
Linda Wright Moore, MS, is a senior communications officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
The swirl of controversy and nonstop debate around the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is like a play that never ends: Every time you think you're coming to the finale, another character or plot twist crops up—and the production drags on … and on.
So it goes with the ACA: Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the new law to be mostly sound, but fudged on the state mandate to expand Medicaid just enough to keep the drama twisting and turning—and to make many poor and uninsured people ineligible for government subsidies.
Meanwhile, repeated attempts to repeal the law—at least 38 to date—have contributed to a jarring statistic: 42 percent of Americans are unaware that the ACA is the law of the land. In light of the lack of knowledge that the health reform law is the law—it's no surprise that half of the public admits to not having enough information to understand the likely impact of the ACA on themselves and their families.

Monuments and Masons
by Leonie B. Liveris
Price $59.95
- About the Book
Did you know that an obelisk with a tapered column at the top symbolises eternal life or that measuring scales are often found on the grave of a person in the legal profession?
Monuments and Masons is a comprehensive telling of this unique industry history – about the monumental masons and the shapes, symbols and fascinating tales attached to their work. Our cemeteries are filled with countless styles of monuments and memorials, from the ostentatiously grand to the simple and understated.
Blending with the cemetery landscape they can be easily overlooked but closer inspection reveals a historical tapestry and a part of Western Australia's social history that is, by and large, relatively untold.
With its stunning pictures and astonishing tales, Monuments and Masons is a must for historians, genealogists, sculptors and anyone fascinated by cemeteries and their imagery.

What concerns me is the casual indifference on the part of doctors whose judgment patients must come to trust. It's a credibility
and trust issue and doctors must always pass those types of tests. But what do we get? Quotes like the one Ben McGraw, an
ex-Wall Street analyst at the California-based biotech firm Valentis, told The Seattle Times "Everybody does this.... It's now common practice."
Okay, so the practice of doctors talking to analysts is more pervasive these days. But that doesn't make it right. Any time
money changes hands between doctors and slick Wall Street market mavens, any investor's antennae ought to go up (not to mention
the patients who may one day use the drug in question).
Now it's time for this practice to fail its clinical trial.

OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) -- A Holmen woman who took home the Miss Wisconsin crown has become the first person to hold the title twice.
Raenna Johnson was named Miss Wisconsin on Saturday night in Oshkosh.
It's a repeat -- of sorts -- for Johnson.
Back in 2011, she was named first runner-up to Laura Kaeppeler. But then Kaeppeler went on to win the Miss America pageant -- so Johnson assumed the Miss Wisconsin title in January of 2012.
Pageant rules allow women who ascend to state titles to compete again after skipping a year. That's what Johnson did.
The 24-year-old Johnson graduated from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse this year. She studied communications and women's studies. She'll compete in the Miss America pageant in September.

Cycling and swilling: Pedal pubs to have insurance?
Pedal pubs in Minneapolis – bars on wheels powered by pedaling beer drinkers – may soon be required to carry $2 million in insurance, according to a report in the Star Tribune.
(See a slideshow of the "Bike with the barrel" from PedalPub.com.)
The bicycles built for brew involve having five or more patrons seated around a table on wheels provide pedal power to move the vehicle. Those who operate these mobile imbibing operations may soon be regulated by the city, which is to say they'll have to pay licensing fees and carry insurance.
In addition to licensing fees and insurance, city officials are also proposing that the tours keep any roving rowdies under control -- no loud music or yelling.
Personally, when I'm drinking beer I like to be sedentary, preferably on a bar stool, banquette or a beach. But if you made a resolution to start exercising or find your fitness plan on the skids, and live near Minneapolis, this could be a way to kick it into high gear.

text: Cantor Race Could End Amnesty Dream For 2014 Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 9 Jun 2014 post a comment The fate of amnesty legislation this year may depend on House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's (R-VA) margin of victory Tuesday in a primary campaign that has surprisingly emerged as a high-profile immigration battle. While a trio of House Republicans – Reps. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC), Paul Ryan (R-WI), and Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) – are canvassing the GOP conference on whether there is appetite to tackle immigration before the August recess, Cantor has had to fend off a long-shot, underfunded economics professor who rose in the polls by relentlessly attacking Cantor on the issue. In the closing hours of the campaign, Randolph-Macon economics professor David Brat launched yet another immigration broadside on Cantor, declaring, "a vote for Eric Cantor on June 10th is a vote for open borders and lower wages" and that "Cantor's absolute determination to pass amnesty knows no bounds." Cantor's political hands, meanwhile, sought to frame the opposition as an inside-the-beltway battle between himself and conservative media outlets like Breitbart that have closely watched the race. "The glitterati doesn't want to talk about... [economic] issues because it doesn't view them as sexy," Ray Allen, Cantor's top political consultant, told National Journal. Tough words from someone who works for Cantor, who is well-known for his attendance at the Davos Economic Forum, Aspen Ideas Festival, and similar gatherings of the world's political and business elite. Barring a catastrophic upset, Cantor will survive his primary challenge from Brat. But having won the 2012 primary election 80-20 and with his campaign firing on all cylinders, Cantor's margin of victory is likely to reverberate in Washington. "That old cliché about 'run hard or run unopposed' seems to apply here," said Kyle Kondick, the managing editor of Sabato's Crystal Ball. "It would be an absolute shock if Cantor lost, and there's no reason to expect that he will. I'm more interested in the margin -- whether he gets over 60% or not." And a Cantor victory will come at a cost. The Virginia Republican has been forced to run as an anti-amnesty warrior, shedding his "make life work" rebranding from 2013 to use rhetoric he hadn't been engaging in for some time. Even as his constituents were receiving literature that Cantor was stopping the "Obama-Reid amnesty plan," Cantor revealed in a local television interview he's still interested in working out a compromise on the issue with President Obama. "But I have told the President there are some things that we can work on together," Cantor said in a Friday interview with a local television station. "We can work on the border security bill together. We can work on things like the kids." "The kids" refers to Cantor's support for the principles of the "DREAM Act," which would grant amnesty to illegal aliens who came to the U.S. as minors. Cantor has worked to craft a GOP version of the bill, and has argued the principle behind the legislation, not to punish children for their parents acts, is "one of the nation's great founding principles" and even "biblical." Support for the measure comes at an inconvenient time, with tens of thousands of children streaming across the southern border, creating a humanitarian crisis and loss of operational control along the border. Brat has cited Cantor's rhetoric on amnesty as contributing to the flood across the border. "Despite pouring millions of dollars into his dishonest corporate-funded-and-created ads, Cantor has admitted his intention to pass a DREAM Act amnesty bill with President Obama's help," Brat said. "Don't let Eric Cantor's corporate donors buy this election and take away opportunities from Virginia's struggling families, workers, single mothers, aspiring students, and people of all backgrounds living here today." Furthermore, Cantor backed the House GOP's leadership principles in February, which would grant "legal status," but not citizenship, to millions of illegal aliens. After the House GOP leadership released its "immigration principles," conservatives revolted. And after Sens. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) blasted the "principles" as nothing more than amnesty, House and Senate leaders said they would not proceed on immigration legislation if they could not trust Obama to enforce the laws. Meanwhile, Obama, who has indicated he would unilaterally ease deportations if Congress does not pass an immigration bill by August, recently instructed Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to delay the administration's deportation review to give Congress a chance to pass amnesty legislation. But there are signs that Republicans may be readying to claim Obama has established that "trust." Republicans and Democrats have indicated that "a narrow window for an immigration bill could open early in the summer — after most of the midterm Republican primaries — if Congress and President Obama build cooperative good will on smaller bills in the coming weeks." The New York Times noted that bills dealing with federal job training programs or future trade deals could provide Obama opportunities to work with Republicans to find "common ground." Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), a top amnesty and increased legal immigration critic, has argued the problem "is not limited to one of trust." "Even if the President could be trusted, the Senate Democrat plan he embraces would deliver a hammer blow to working Americans," he said. "We must transition struggling Americans from welfare and joblessness to work and rising wages." He has said that "the only plan the President and Senate Democrats appear interested in supporting would hollow out a shrinking American middle class," and "it is time to redefine 'immigration reform' to serve the legitimate interests of working Americans." Cantor's campaign argues that he is focused on non-"sexy" economic issues. Immigration, though, is an economic issue. The Congressional Budget Office determined the Senate's amnesty bill would lower the wages of American workers. U.S. Civil Rights Commissioner Peter Kirsanow has argued in a letter to the Congressional Black Caucus that amnesty would hurt low-skilled black workers. While Cantor supports an increase in the number of high-tech visas that are awarded to guest workers, many studies have determined that there is not a shortage of high-tech American workers. And Cantor has refused to debate Brat, an economics professor. Presumably, the debate would be sufficiently "sexy," since economics is Brat's area of expertise.
