Press Release – MANHASSET, N.Y., Feb. 16, 2017 — Leonard and Susan Feinstein today announced a $25 million contribution to Northwell Health's Feinstein Institute for Medical Research to further expand its research efforts in areas including clinical trials, neuroscience, autoimmunity and bioelectronic medicine.
The Feinstein Institute was renamed in the Feinsteins' honor in 2005 after they provided an initial $25 million leadership gift. Their motivation to support Northwell's research efforts stems from a major brain injury suffered by their son in an automobile accident 35 years ago, which occurred at a time when there were few long-term health care solutions that could handle his needs. "Life-saving techniques to keep you alive got so much better, but the deficits you were left with posed a significant challenge for those responsible for caring for you – or you were just put into a nursing home," said Mr. Feinstein, co-founder and co-chairman of Bed Bath & Beyond.
The Feinsteins' experience with their son sparked the beginning of their significant history of philanthropy dedicated to impacting the health care delivery system. The Feinsteins realized that research was the only real answer to yield treatments and cures that could alter the way medicine is practiced and delivered. Their early support in 2000 helped establish the Susan and Leonard Feinstein Center for Neurosciences. "We wanted to give where we thought we could make a difference – for a resource that wouldn't exist unless we stepped in to help," said Mr. Feinstein. "Dedicated neuroscience research had never been done at Northwell Health (then North Shore-LIJ Health System) on the scale we imagined, so we stepped in to make that happen eleven years ago."
The Feinstein Institute is the worldwide leader in scientific knowledge of bioelectronic medicine – a new field of medicine that uses devices to treat disease and injury. Bioelectronic medicine represents the convergence of three well-established scientific fields: neuroscience, molecular and cell biology, and bioengineering. The Feinstein Institute team, led by Kevin J. Tracey, MD, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institute, a neurosurgeon who pioneered the field, has been working in this area since 1998. The new gift from the Feinsteins brings to $275 million the overall commitment for bioelectronic medicine research thus far. This includes company investments and state grants in support of the underlying research for a wide range of acute and chronic diseases and injuries, including neurodegenerative diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, bleeding, diabetes and hypertension.
"The research taking place across all of Northwell Health – particularly bioelectronic medicine – can revolutionize the way medicine is practiced," said Mr. Feinstein, who also is a member of the Feinstein Institute's Board of Directors. "In this promising area of research, we are realizing useful applications and results now and within five to ten years, we will see cures for some of the most confounding human diseases in our lifetime. Not many research initiatives show that kind of promise."
"Susan and Leonard Feinstein's ongoing generosity is a testament to the advancements we have made in science, medicine and curing disease," said Michael J. Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health. "Northwell established the research institute in 1999, and Leonard and Susan have been with us for each critical step as we've grown."
"Leonard and Susan Feinstein's unwavering support of our research programs over many, many years has been absolutely key to the founding of the Institute, the building of the Institute and now the launch of the Center of Bioelectronic Medicine," said Dr. Tracey. "None of this would have happened without them."
The Center for Bioelectronic Medicine, directed by Chad Bouton, is organized into three divisions – Molecular Targets, Neurophysiology and Neuroscience, and Neurotechnology and Analytics – each of which has several labs. The Center recently opened five new labs, one of which includes the only Class 100 clean room in Nassau County, LI.

Intelligence-led policing (ILP) is increasingly promoted, but is it the most effective method of wildlife protection?
Press Release – ARUSHA, Tanzania, Feb. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — ILP originated from the necessity in policing to focus on using informants and surveillance techniques to combat repeat offenders, with close cooperation between police chiefs and intelligence analysts.
Since ILP was adopted into combating wildlife crime in Tanzania, the national decline in elephants has slowed by an estimated two thirds since 2014, compared with the annual averages of the preceding six years. The PAMS Foundation elicited the involvement of the crack National and Transnational Serious Crimes Investigation Unit (NTSCIU) in 2014 and it has been a game changer in every ecosystem they worked.
PAMS also supported the establishment of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism's Wildlife Crime Unit, which has been operating closely with the NTSCIU. Jointly they have been achieving internationally unparalleled results: 4 of the biggest ever illegal ivory traders were apprehended; 1,398 poachers and illegal ivory traders were arrested, 84% of those that have completed trial have been convicted; and 65 offenders have been given prison sentences from 16 years to 40 years.
David Hubbard, Special Agent in Charge of Law Enforcement at the United States Fish and Wildlife Service states, "The intelligence-led multi-agency work of the NTSCIU and MNRT Wildlife Crime Unit is an example of an effective strategy that should be followed across Africa, and potentially in parts of Asia too."
Success in ILP is not automatic, as it is critically important to follow best practice principles to confirm the integrity of leadership, have as few parties involved as possible and ensure all partners are performance-driven, regularly assessed and held accountable. There are serious risks involved from growing too big too quickly due to successes achieved and the surrounding publicity. Non-specialists with huge budgets are too easily rendered ineffective or corrupted, hence it is prudent to not contribute donor money to projects that are not led by fully competent people of known good integrity.
Despite the risks and dangers of ILP, various parties that have been supporting the intelligence-led strategy financially regard it as the most effective way to protect wildlife. David Bonderman's Wildcat Foundation is the principal donor of PAMS Foundation and the NTSCIU and were the first major benefactor to finance intelligence-led elephant protection in Tanzania.
"The Wildcat Foundation has supported scores of wildlife projects across the Sub-Sahara, and we have consistently found the most effective approach to reducing poaching is intelligence-led enforcement through a well-managed Public Private Partnership model," says Rodger Schlickeisen.
Alexandra Kennaugh of the Oak Foundation states, "Intelligence-led enforcement is a cornerstone of Oak Foundation's funding strategy because we believe it is a critical element in curbing the illegal killing of elephants and rhinos."
The groups in Africa who are implementing ILP based on best practice principles are leading the way in terms of turning the tide on poaching. Read further for other case studies and detailed information
Press Release – FREDERICKSBURG, Virginia – (February 21, 2017) – According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 out of every 5 school age children is obese, which is a number that has more than tripled since the 1970s. In fact, the CDC refers to childhood obesity today as a serious problem. It's one that many parents are not sure how to take on and beat. The good news is that although babies may not be born with a handbook on how to care for them, one doctor who is on a mission to combat childhood obesity has written a book on how to feed children so they are healthy and happy.
"As a pediatrician, I see that childhood obesity is a serious situation that we are dealing with as a nation. The effects of our over-reliance on processed food extends beyond the growth curve. So many children are who normal weight still exhibit symptoms that stem from their diet" says Dr. Nimali Fernando, a Fredericksburg, Virginia-based pediatrician who founded The Dr. Yum Project. "Parents need a good road map to introduce a lifelong love of healthy food, or children are more likely to have many health problems when they become adults. Prioritizing healthy food as a family can be a good first step"
In addition to founding The Doctor Yum Project, a nonprofit organization that has been helping to curb the childhood obesity problem since 2011, Dr. Fernando also co-authored the book "Raising a Healthy, Happy Eater: A Stage-by-Stage Guide to Setting Your Child on the Path to Adventurous Eating" (The Experiment, October 2015). Dr. Fernando co-authored the book with Melanie Potock, a pediatric feeding expert. The book has become a popular tool among parents who are searching for simple ways to help their children learn to embrace healthy eating. The book features such helpful information as:
Advice and tips tailored to every stage from newborn through school-age
How to combat picky eating and raise an adventurous eater
Real-life stories of parents and kids they have helped
Wisdom from cultures across the globe on how to feed kids
Helpful insights on the sensory system, difficult mealtime behaviors, and everything from baby-led weaning to sippy cups
And seven "passport stamps" for good parenting: joyful, compassionate, brave, patient, consistent, proactive, and mindful.
Parents gain in-depth knowledge about parenting the whole child, understanding the sensory system, healthy feeding at every stage of development, navigating the school cafeteria, food allergies, and more.
"The childhood obesity problem is one that parents can win," added Dr. Fernando. "We are just so bombarded with quick food options, like prepackaged lunches and pureed squeeze packs that we have lost our way. My mission is to try to help people find their way back to feeding their kids a healthy diet that is filled with fruits, vegetables, and other whole foods, and to help kids be happy about eating them."
In addition to the book on feeding kids a healthy diet, Dr. Fernando (otherwise known as Dr. Yum), and the team at The Doctor Yum Project the nonprofit she founded, created a free online tool, called Meal Maker Machine. The "Machine" helps parents create healthy meals using the ingredients they already have on hand in their pantry. They simply input the ingredients they have and the system will create a customized healthy recipe for them within seconds.
Dr. Fernando's pediatric office is unique, offering an instructional kitchen area, where The Doctor Yum Project offers classes for kids and healthy food classes for parents. People attend the classes to get hands on experiences in preparing a variety of plant-based foods, as well as to learn more about gardening in her teaching garden. She also offers a preschool nutrition program, with numerous preschools in the area participating in it.
"Raising a Healthy, Happy Eater: A Stage-by-Stage Guide to Setting Your Child on the Path to Adventurous Eating" is available online. To learn more about The Doctor Yum Project or Dr. Fernando, visit the site at: www.doctoryum.org.

Press Release – YWCA USA finds the memo signed by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kelly on new guidelines for deporting undocumented immigrants deeply troubling. That the administration is considering these proposals, which authorize aggressive efforts to detain and deport immigrants is reason for every American to be concerned. If a plan like this one goes into effect, it would tear apart families and communities, putting even more women, children, and survivors of violence at risk. This is inherently an issue of civil and human rights, and YWCA USA will work in tandem with our partners to counter these efforts.
Statement by Casey Harden, Interim CEO of YWCA USA:
"If the administration moves forward with this, or any similar plan to aggressively target immigrant communities, it will be an inexcusable part of a long history of violent acts against communities of color. Such policies are antithetical to our values at YWCA USA as well as the United States' stated commitment to freedom and liberty for all."
About YWCA USA

Ralph J. and Trish M. Nagel drive progress in Denver and beyond
Press Release – DENVER—Feb. 20, 2017—The University of Denver will honor two visionary leaders, Ralph and Trish Nagel, at the 2017 Founders Gala, Thursday, March 2.
The Nagels will be awarded the Founders Medal – the University's highest honor – presented to those whose transformative leadership and engaged philanthropy represent the pinnacle of the University's Values: Excellence, Innovation, Engagement, Integrity, and Inclusion.
"Founders Celebration is a time for our community to acknowledge the contributions across the generations that have laid the foundation of this great university," said DU Chancellor Rebecca Chopp. "We are honored that the Nagels are part of our tradition of making things happen at our University."
For over two decades the Nagels have been making things happen at DU by conceptualizing and actualizing their support of People, Places and Programs. Their leadership and financial support is far-reaching, affecting every corner of DU : scholarships for underserved international students; the Nagel Residence Hall (that houses the Nagel Art collection of over 50 paintings of Colorado artists); Nagel Art Studios in the School of Art and Art History; the Innovation Lab in the Daniel Felix Ritchie School of Engineering and Computer Science; John Moye Hall, home of IALLS (the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System); the C-Cubed studios of the Emerging Digital Practices Program at Shwayder Hall; the Archival Library at Hampden Center; and the Condoleezza Rice Family Practice Professorship. Ralph also has personally enhanced many of DU's public spaces with his own art work, including an eight-panel piece in the Engineering Building, titled "Engineers' Abstractions."
Ralph has served as a trustee on the University of Denver's Board for 14 years and is now is serving as Lifetime Trustee. He also served as Chairman of the Colorado Commission of Higher Education for 5 years.
"Ralph and Trish Nagel are dear friends of the University whose generosity is limitless," said Armin Afsahi, vice chancellor for University Advancement. "It is a pleasure to recognize them with the University's highest honor for their unparalleled commitment to philanthropy and civic leadership. Their enduring impact exemplifies the University of Denver's mission to be a great, private university dedicated to the public good."
The Nagels founded the Meridian Retirement Communities that challenged the status quo and upended the medical model of aging by offering a different option – the "social" model of aging. For the Nagels, advancing the public good also includes partnering with Alliance for Choice in Education (ACE), which Ralph co-founded, that provides scholarships to low income students and being actively engaged in developing transitional housing for challenged populations including Marisol Home for homeless women and children and Step 13 transitional housing for sober men. They also have been instrumental in the transformation of St. Rose of Lima Catholic Academy and Arrupe Jesuit High School.
A few years ago Ralph took up painting as a personal challenge "to use the other side of his brain" while still maintaining his role in business and other community endeavors. "Painting is about having the courage to take risks toward an outcome that is unknown," observes Ralph, a theme that runs through the Nagels' many life chapters – the importance of not needing to know the answer before you undertake risk.
Meanwhile, Trish conceived and launched the groundbreaking Star Catchers® Experience, where 4-6 year olds from inner city schools that offer a value-based education, attend opening night Broadway productions. Through carefully crafted pre- and post-theater components, the children receive much more than a theater ticket – they discover for themselves how the use, or misuse, of the "Stars" (i.e., character strengths, ethical values and social skills portrayed in the productions) matter to both the story and to their own lives.
The University of Denver: Founded in 1864, the University of Denver is committed to engaging with students in advancing scholarly inquiry, cultivating critical and creative thought, and generating knowledge. The University strives to educate the 21st-century citizens and leaders needed in its organizations and communities.

Runners tackle 230-mile, seven-day ultra-marathon across Haiti to raise $200,000 to end poverty
Press Release – PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI — February 18, 2017 — Team Tassy (www.teamtassy.org) is a nonprofit that accompanies families in Haiti out of poverty through good, dignified jobs. Today, the organization has started its third annual "Run Across Haiti" ultra-marathon to raise $200,000 for its cause.
Run Across Haiti features twenty-one incredible participants, from a Haitian Olympic hopeful to a cancer survivor to seasoned, professional triathletes. They will complete the equivalent of eight marathons in seven days, either as solo runners or in relay teams of three. The run will begin in the north, in Cap Haitien , and end in the beautiful southern tip of Haiti, Jacmel. The island nation is known for steep changes in elevation, ranging from sea level to over 4,500 ft. Over the course of the run, the participants will climb two different mountain ranges and average a marathon a day. They will endure a variety of conditions on the roads running through heavy traffic, markets, villages, mountains, and deserts.
"We love the vibrancy of Haiti's landscape, culture, and people, and this run captures the true spirit of this country," said Vivien Luk, Executive Director of Team Tassy. "We want to show to the rest of the world that Haiti is not a place to be feared or pitied and to raise the necessary funds to create dignified jobs for the families we serve."
Among the runners is 25-year-old Olympic hopeful Wesley Sainval, who was born in Haiti and immigrated to Connecticut as a teen. Wesley has trained for the NYC Marathon and as part of the 2016 Haitian Olympic team before an injury slowed him down.
"After learning about Team Tassy and their Run Across Haiti, I was beyond inspired to join the cause. It's a dream come true to have this opportunity to help Haiti through my love of running," said Sainval. "Team Tassy is making real, impactful changes working alongside families and helping them to become economically sustainable."
What sets Team Tassy apart is its individualized, micro-targeted approach to tackling poverty, one family at a time. Its mission is simple, yet clearly defined and actionable: to end poverty in one community by placing two heads of households into good, dignified jobs. This means preparing individuals for jobs and supporting their access to basic needs, medical care, education and continued professional development.
"Our approach to solving poverty is very personal — you can't simply throw money at the problem and expect it to heal on its own," said Ian Rosenberger, Founder and Board President of Team Tassy. "We celebrate the potential inherent in each and every individual by standing beside him or her, working to remove barriers to success, and providing necessary resources towards independence."

About Team Tassy
Team Tassy accompanies families in Haiti out of poverty through good, dignified jobs. While their vision seeks to make a global impact, they are currently focusing their efforts in Menelas, a community in Port-au-Prince. What sets them apart is their individualized, micro-targeted approach to tackling poverty one family at a time. Team Tassy believes in the power of work with a goal of placing two heads of households into a dignified job so they and their families can pull themselves out of poverty forever. In 2015, they created the Run Across Haiti, a 230-mile ultra-marathon to show that Haiti is not a place to be feared or to be pitied, and this year, their goal is to raise $200,000 to help fund their work. This ultra-marathon runs from the northern tip to the southern end of Haiti, and has featured a variety of incredible participants, from a Haitian Olympic hopeful to cancer survivors to seasoned and professional triathletes.

The following is Part One of a three-part article. Click here to read Part Two. Click here to read Part Three.
A chain of medical diagnostic clinics was developed from the ground up. After two years of hectic expansion marked by acquisitions and setting up greenfield clinics across a number of cities, it became clear that due to the different inherited processes across those acquisitions, the chain needed to focus more on improving and standardizing the quality of service offered, and improving its customer satisfaction rankings.
A two-day "quality mindset" program was conducted for the chain's 20-member senior management group. This program introduced the leaders to the concept of customer delight and its key ingredients – product quality, service, delivery and cost. The program also explained how to improve those ingredients through the application of total quality management (TQM), by incorporating just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing principles, total quality control (TQC) and employee involvement. Most importantly, through interactive exercises, this program helped to open the group to change.
Two specific areas for improvement were selected by management – turnaround time of patients and customer service. These areas of improvement were addressed by 1) working for reduced patient turnaround time at Center A (the chain's busiest center), 2) improving customer satisfaction at Center B (the chain's second biggest center) and 3) improving internal laboratory processes at Center A. This case study is organized in three parts to correspond to the three areas of improvement.
To approach the issue of patient turnaround time, the company chose to follow the seven steps of problem solving.
In addition to these seven steps, the chain also incorporated JIT principles by cutting non-value added stages and activities in the process, reducing work through automation, improving workflow, etc.
A cross-functional team was chosen to work on these improvements and the project began.
Step 1: Define the problem and measure it
The problem was defined as the difference between the desired level of patient wait time and the actual time patients had to wait to finish their diagnostic tests.
The company wanted to reduce the non-value added patient time, which largely consisted of patient waiting time – where waiting time excluded all time that was an essential part of the medical procedure (e.g., two hours of waiting after a meal for a post-meal blood test to determine sugar levels for diabetics).
Measuring the turnaround time of each patient was impractical, however, because it would require a staff member to follow patients one at a time. Instead, a patient's path and waiting times were determined by their specific test requirements.
The most useful metric the company could analyze was, therefore, the number of patients waiting – which in Lean parlance would be considered work in process (WIP) – at any time. A format was developed to collect this data hourly for one week in the 16 hours the clinic operated each day. From this data the current status was measured as follows.
Number of patients waiting at any given time (WIP):
It was decided to target a WIP reduction of at least 50 percent.
An Xbar control chart was developed to measure the daily averages to show the improvement achieved in process and also post-project to ensure the results continued.
Step 2: Root cause analysis: 5 Whys
Waiting time depends upon the interactions among four factors:
The process was measured to determine root causes of queue formation. Two parameters in particular were examined:
For the 16-hour period of operation each day, the peak hours were between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. The average peak load was about 35 per hour, while the maximum hourly loads on some days in the week were 40 to 45 per hour.
Since the clinic does different types of tests (e.g., blood, urine, ultrasound, etc.) for which the equipment and personnel are not interchangeable, it was important to learn the workload of each category. This is shown in the pareto chart in Figure 2.
Viewed by departments, the data showed that the laboratory (blood and urine) accounted for 56 percent of the traffic, with routine ultrasounds and X-rays accounting for another 18 percent.
Additionally, all incoming patients had to register, be billed and pay at the reception area prior to departure. Thus, the reception area saw the maximum traffic.
Improvement was achieved in the two areas with the highest traffic: the laboratory (which represented the two highest frequency tests on the pareto chart, blood and urine) and reception.
As the lab was located on Floor 3, WIP mapping and a corresponding Xbar control chart began there.
In the current state, laboratory WIP was calculated as:
The value-adding process – taking a blood sample – was timed to take an average of three minutes per patient. With the available resource of two technicians in a shift (during peak hours), 40 patients per hour should be able to be seen with little or no queuing. Data indicated that patient loads greater than 40 occurred on only three occasions (for one hour only per occasion) in a week.
Why then was a queue developing? Examination of hourly queue sizes over several days (Figure 3) showed that the queue developed during the first hour after opening, then remained constant or reduced gradually.
This meant that incoming loads and processing was proceeding apace between the peak hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. The queue was forming in the off-peak hour of 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. and not decreasing until the peak time was over.
The start-up routine of the lab was examined. The center opened at 7 a.m.; one technician started work at 7 a.m. and calibrated the machines by 8:30 a.m. Sample taking began at 8:30 a.m. when the second technician reported for work. By this time the queue had already developed.
Steps 3 and 4: Countermeasures
A countermeasure was attempted – advancing the start time of one technician to 6:00 a.m.
Step 5: Check the result
A dramatic 50 percent reduction in laboratory WIP occurred:
Laboratory WIP
Average + 3σ
The team was enthused by these results and immediately felt less pressure due to less WIP and fewer irritated patients. It was time to move to the next stage of the process.
After the change, WIP was low until 9 a.m., but a peak was building from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
Diabetic patients requiring post-meal blood tests who were at the lab at 8 a.m. returned two hours later at 10 a.m. after eating breakfast. When these patients were added to the queue of new patients, the load increased beyond 40 per hour, leading to a high WIP.
Steps 3 and 4: Countermeasures
A third technician was deployed for three hours – from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Step 5: Check the result
The average laboratory WIP was further reduced by 30 percent as shown in the table below and the Xbar control chart in Figure 4.
Laboratory WIP
Average + 3σ
* Between the time of the initial improvement of one additional attendant and the addition of the third staff member, the WIP reduced further from 15 to 11.
At the same time the changes to the lab were being implemented, the other major traffic area through which all customers passed – reception – was being improved.
Registration and billing were handled on the center's ground floor, with registration being the first stop for all patients before they went for tests. CT and MRI tests were also on the ground floor. The combination required stopping points for patients at several times during a visit to the clinic. An analysis of WIP on the ground floor showed that 56 percent – a total of nine persons on average – were waiting in registration and billing lines. The registration process was measured to take three minutes per patient at each stage as shown in the table below .
Persons in Queue
Waiting Time (Minutes)
Average Waiting Time/Individual (Minutes)
Since billing and registration were done sequentially (the patients paid before tests were run) on two counters, the patient was queuing twice for a total of 30 minutes in order to complete activities with a value-added time of only 6 minutes.
Steps 3 and 4: Countermeasures
A single-window billing and registration area would reduce the waiting time. The processing time was reduced from 6 minutes to 4.5 minutes per customer. With all three available counters performing billing and registration tasks, the peak arrival of about 40 visitors per hour (1.5 minutes per customer) meant the queuing time was reduced by more than 60 percent.
An additional problem observed in the reception area was that, like the lab (though to a lesser extent), a queue was building up by 8 a.m. This was easily addressed by having one reception counter open earlier – 6:30 a.m. instead of 7 a.m.
Step 5: Check the result
The percentage of the ground floor WIP comprised of registration and billing was reduced from 56 to only 20. Patients were now waiting mainly for MRI and CT availability.
The center's control chart of ground floor WIP (Figure 5) reflects this improvement.
The weekly queues on the ground floor of the clinic were reduced by 50 percent.
Ground Floor WIP
Average + 3σ
The queues for individual patients were reduced to 2 to 3 minutes at most times.
Steps 5 and 6: Check results and standardize results
The process was internalized quickly after the initial tests – employees felt less pressure as the customers were being serviced faster.
Step 7: Compile quality improvement story
The quality improvement story was prepared and presented to the company's senior management team.
In addition to these improvements, a number of small Kaizens were held and achieved further successes. For example, a customer paid his bill and was due some change. He was asked to do the tests and come back as the required notes for his change were not available. When the patient was done with his tests, correct change was still not available. A simple change was required to prevent this type of problem from recurring. A system was introduced to provide the cashiers adequate change in the morning so they did not have to wait until cash was received from customers in the needed amounts.
Good case study to be replicated elsewhere. One clarification w.r.t Reception area and specifically step 3 &4- With the consolidation of billing and registration under one window, i would expect wait time for patients to go down , but the processing time for doers to go up as i`m increasing the work load from 2 servers to One.How does processing time get reduced here, are there elimination of duplicate process steps? Secondly,I love this case study in clinical scenario because it`s a place where different facilities are operating with consistent handling of Queues. I could see few best practices of queue management here,( like advancing the service hour,peak time study , patient routing,etc), and would love to know more. Did you also use any queuing simulation for analysis, TAT expectation setting for people in queue etc.Thanks.Reply
Hi Rohit,
Going to one window does cut Non value added activities. For instance
Window 2 Op has to open the system again, and open the patient file. check the tests are Ok with the prescription which being a cashier he does, ask patient for clarfication etc and close the system.
All these are done by Window 1 already.
With other changes done in fact the windows collapsed from 3 to 2 and eventually we saved one operator with reduced queues.
No Queueing simulation was used. I find mapping the process and then using the principles of JIT and mapping a future state in most cases gives dramatic reductions.
Please wait for all the 3 parts of the case – customer expectations being fulfilled is captured quantitatively. Would welcome your comments after you have read the whole case.
I now realise that you asked me to connect on linkedin and got to know of me here probably.
Nice interchnaging thoughts with you.

an item in the news has left me wondering just what to make of it---"YOGA CLASS SPARKS RELIGIOUS OUTCRY"
It seems that some of the parents of 6- and 7-year-old pupils at Paul Ecke Central Elementary School in Las Encinitas, CA, said they were concerned that the yoga exercises "might nudge their children closer to the ancient Hindu beliefs."
The mother of a first-grader in the yoga class said "They're not just teaching physical poses, they're teaching how to think and how to make decisions. . . . They're teaching children how to meditate and how to look within for peace and for comfort. . . They're using this as a tool for many things beyond stretching." ( Horrors! learning "how to think and how to make decisions" ! )
Oh, and BTW, nowhere in the news item is it indicated that the yoga instructor, Jackie Bergeron, is an adherent of HInduism, or even a student of it.
The 30-minute yoga class in the gym in the morning had a "notably calming effect on the children", according to the article by Will Carless of The New York Times.
Who knew that a "gym" class in which kids would learn the 'downward dog' and 'chair' and 'warrior' poses (etc.) while repeating confidence-boosting mantras such as "I am strong!" and "I am brave!"' would be 'bad' for their sweet little souls?

If they aren't just teaching the movements and they are teaching the thoughts and meditation, I can understand why the parent may be upset.
But meditation and looking within for comfort (at least from most of the people I've talking to of many, many religions) is mostly universal.
I see the remedy to this as being quite easy if the parent is any kind of religion. They explain to the child that while they are looking within, as suggested in class, they should also listen for God/chosen deity(ies).

How and what you meditate on is crucial. If you are "looking within" for peace you will not find it. Or if you are focused on "energy" that is also something that should make Bible following Christians nervous. Only meditation on God, the Holy Spirit, and His Word would be acceptable in my understanding.
The declarations can be good, but only if they are based in Biblical truth. Otherwise they are lies. Meditation is a great practice, doesn't surprise me that the students are calmer. The only danger would be what you open your spirit to in those meditation times.
FYI: There's an opt-out clause for parents to take their kids out of the class.
For me it would depend on what they were "saying" to the kids. I don't think its necesarily bad to look inward for peace. It teaches them some coping skills to calm themselves down.
I personally don't mind the use of energy in general... because we are energy I believe that we do have energy fields, meredians, and chakras (and probably some other things too) that contribute to our health. In my opinion many thingss can coexist without harming someones Christian beliefs. The big difference that arises is what/who healing power is coming from.
It might be that the yoga classes are not oppositional to the Christian beliefs. I was wary about meditating and had some initial reluctance.. but for me... during the meditation I focus on God and ask that I am protected from anything not from God.
That is what I would tell my kid if they had something like this in school.
I know that in times when I am fearful, reciting The Lord's Prayer in my head. Especially the part about "thy will be done on Earth as it is is Heaven" helps me look at the BIG picture and realise that even if I do die, all is well. (I had to do this several times on a VERY rough overseas plane flight)
I would be intersted to see what they are having the kids think about while meditating. The article didn't provide enough example, only the stances of the oposing parties.
It's unfortunate that our culture has a tremendous diversity of antibodies to positive change in our educational system. This poor yoga program has come up against one of them.

Youbet income at $5.7M
Youbet.com, the online horse racing broadcast and wagering company, had net income of $5.7 million on revenue of $88.8 million in 2005, according to financial statements released by the company Thursday.
The $5.7 million in net income included an income tax benefit of $1.9 million that Youbet credited to its fourth quarter, in which the company lost money. In 2004, Youbet had net income of $4.6 million on revenue of $62.8 million. Youbet had an income tax benefit of $3.3 million in 2004.
The 2005 results reflected the second year in a row in which Youbet has posted an annual profit. The company is one of the leading account-wagering companies in the United States, with a hub based in Oregon. According to the financial statements, handle through Youbet's hub was $395.2 million in 2005, up 25.4 percent from 2004.
The 2005 results also include revenue and expenses for six months of operations at International Racing Group, a rebate shop in Curacao that Youbet purchased in mid-2005. Handle through IRG was $77 million for the six months, or $154 million on an annualized basis.
Youbet had $16.7 million in cash at the end of 2005, according to the statements, up from $13.3 million in 2004.
Earlier this week, Youbet reached an agreement to purchase United Tote, a bet-processing company, for $31.9 million in cash and the assumption of $14.7 million in United Tote debt. The acquisition is being financed by $9.7 million in cash, $10.2 million in promissory notes that come due over the next two years, and the issuance of approximately 2.2 million shares of stock.
In the fourth quarter of 2005, Youbet lost $377,000 on revenue of $20.8 million. The company took the $1.9 million tax benefit in the fourth quarter, turning the loss into a $1.5 million profit.
Operating expenses in the fourth quarter were sharply higher than in the fourth quarter of 2004, increasing 35 percent from $15.8 million to $21.4 million. Revenue increased 30 percent in the quarter, from $16.2 million to $20.8 million.
Several categories of expenses increased markedly in the fourth quarter. Network operations expenses increased from $855,000 to $1.32 million, and sales and marketing expenses increased from $957,000 to $1.64 million. Overall in 2005, sales and marketing expenses increased from $3.5 million to $6.4 million, up 82.3 percent.
The company's yield - net revenue as a percentage of handle - fell in 2005 to 5.9 percent from 7 percent in 2004. Company officials have said they expected yield to fall in 2005 because of lower margins at International Racing Group.

The 10K Apart Winners
At the end of July, An Event Apart and MIX Online issued a challenge to show the web what you could do with just 10K—and the response was beyond anything we could have expected. We were overwhelmed and humbled by the incredible quality as well as quantity of the submissions. In the few weeks the contest was open, we received 367 entries.
Our three Runners-Up were quite varied, though two of them looked back to the halcyon days of 1980s video games. The Best Design winner, Matchuppps, is a beautifully-executed game of Memory that uses the latest Dribbble posts and extends Dribbble's basketball metaphor with amusing commentary and scoreboard styling. The Best Technical winner, Fontanero, calls to mind early games like NetHack, Rogue, and The Hobbit as it tasks your tiny plumber to fix a lot of leaky cellar pipes. Finally, the People's Choice award, RGB Invaders, packs a colorful variant on the classic arcade game Space Invaders into a mere 8.6KB. Each Runner-Up earned a three-day pass to an upcoming An Event Apart, a $1,000 Visa Gift Card, and a copy of HTML5 for Web Designers.
Last but by no means least, we had so many entries we loved that we expanded the number of Notable Mentions from nine to 12, and still felt like we were leaving too many great entries out. We're proud to award each Notable Mention a copy of HTML5 for Web Designers.
From tower defense games to retro recreations, from site annotators to image filters, from task lists to financial planners, and so much more, the contestants in the 10K Apart consistently blew us away with their creativity and their passion. We thank each and every entrant for making the contest an incredible success, and our congratulations to the winners!
Thanks also to our fine judges—Whitney Hess, Nicole Sullivan, and Jeremy Keith—and our MIX Online partners for their generous sponsorship of the 10K Apart. We must do this again sometime!

Lisa Frank released a special pajama collection with Target to great acclaim earlier this summer, so it makes sense that the rainbow and sparkle brand decided to team up with someone else again. That someone is Reebok, and the result? Classic sneakers with a '90s rainbow animal and sequin-filled twist:
These shoes are…. almost too beautiful for words. But alas, this isn't a full collaboration: Lisa Frank teamed up with Reebok for just two (two!) pairs of sneakers, one adult-sized…
…..and one child-sized:
….as part of a giveaway for two extremely, extremely lucky fans.
If you're wondering "How do I get in one this?", Reebok's official blog has you covered: tweet your favourite nostalgic back-to-school style trend to both @ReebokClassic and @LisaFrank.
The elusive designer has decided to bring her beloved rainbow animal party out for this limited time engagement.
As she puts it, "I've always been a sneaker girl and I'm forever on the lookout for fun new styles," adding that she used to paint her own sneakers.
It doesn't seem that she's got plans for other Lisa Frank shoes in the future, but she knows there's a demand for her signature style: "Rainbow colours and Fantasy characters never go out of style… 90's kids have such fond memories of their childhood and want to share their joy and excitement with their friends, families and co-workers." #word.

Ohio shooting stokes debate over U.S. campus police forces
For all that was shocking about a university police officer shooting a man at point blank range during a routine traffic stop near the University of Cincinnati campus this month, one thing was not. It is just one of the many powers held by the majority of campus police forces that have become a daily part of university life in the United States but this month came under unprecedented scrutiny. Ranks have grown since campus policing began in earnest amid civil unrest in the late 1960s, as have resources, helping campus police departments become the well-equipped, career-based force they are today.
Two Ohio campus police officers won't face charges: prosecutor

How Pentagon war fund became a budget buster Washington can't resist
By Warren Strobel WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of U.S. troops deployed in battle zones is at its lowest level since before the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The contradiction is the legacy of an emergency war fund, started in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, that has become a favorite Washington way to sidestep the impact of fiscal constraints on military spending. The Overseas Contingency Operations account, or OCO, has been tapped to fund tens of billions of dollars in programs with questionable links, or none, to wars, according to current and former U.S. officials, analysts and budget documents.
