Long-Term Planning: The Integration of Finances and Programs
Academic deans must be engaged with long-term financial planning. How can we balance revenues and expenses into the indefinite future, and how can we maintain that balance without sacrificing academic excellence or creative vitality? In this interactive workshop, we will discuss models for projecting revenues and expenses over a multi-year period, methods for expanding revenues, and methods for limiting expenses. Topics include endowment management, tuition revenue, annual gift giving, new sources of revenue, staffing models, deferred maintenance, health care costs, and energy costs. We will discuss several critical issues: How to maintain academic quality while balancing the budget; how to develop new programs while supporting existing ones; how to resolve conflicts among constituencies; and how to set parameters for critical characteristics such as student body size and faculty size. Of vital importance is the creation of working relationships between deans and financial affairs officers that include a mutual understanding of academic goals and fiscal challenges. The workshop format will include both the presentation of ideas and techniques by the panelists and discussion by all workshop participants.
Thomas Axtell, Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services, and Lawrence B. Breitborde, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College—both of Knox College; David Burrows, Provost and Dean of the Faculty, and Brian Riste, Vice President for Business and Operations—both of Lawrence University
Mission-Defined Assessment: Using Institutional Identity to Shape Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes and Decision-Making
Mission-defined assessment can be a valuable tool in fostering a solid understanding and commitment to institutional identity, enhancing educational programs, and communicating "brand" to various groups. This workshop will present four principles for mission-defined assessment: (1) shaping a college culture that refuses to see assessment as a "test," but instead promotes faculty and staff ownership of a process that enables mission fulfillment; (2) incorporating both co-curricular and curricular goals into a comprehensive vision of student development capable of producing graduates who embody a college's mission; (3) integrating general education, academic major, and co-curricular learning goals into an institutional assessment framework that addresses vital components of a college's mission; and (4) engaging both external (e.g., parents, alumni, employers) and internal (e.g., faculty and staff) audiences with a college's mission and its assessment practices. We will use case studies from Macalester College and Westminster College to illustrate each principle of mission-defined assessment, and encourage participants to interact with each other based on guiding questions for each principle. Consequently, this workshop will be interactive, focus on sharing best practices, and discuss realistic challenges/opportunities associated with mission-defined assessment.Workshop participants should bring their college's mission statement, and/or related documents, to the session.
Kendrick Brown, Associate Dean of the Faculty and Kathleen Murray, Provost and Dean of the Faculty—both of Macalester College; Carolyn Perry, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty, and Robert Seelinger, Director of Assessment and Professor of Classics—both of Westminster College

Gun owners waited over an hour in their cars Wednesday to exchange firearms for gift cards as part of a city-sponsored buyback program that set up collection locations in Van Nuys and Exposition Park.
At the Van Nuys Masonic Lodge and the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena's Parking Lot 6, the lines of cars snaked for blocks, moving slowly to get to the drive-thru, drop-off lanes that police had set up.
The locations opened at 9 a.m. and by the time they closed at 4 p.m. about 1,600 weapons had been counted, said Los Angeles Police Department Cmdr. Andy Smith. That number was expected to grow, he said, with the final tally to be announced at a news conference Thursday morning.
Last May, the program netted 1,673 firearms, a four-year low.
Buybacks have been held in May since 2009, but on Dec. 17, Mayor Villaraigosa moved up the event in response to the shootings three days earlier in Newtown, CT, that left 20 children and seven adults dead, along with the gunman.
The shorter planning window for Wednesday's event provided the city with only enough time to set up the two drop-off sites, rather than the usual six.
As part of the buyback program, $100 Ralphs grocery store gift cards were given to people turning in handguns, rifles and shotguns; and $200 gift cards went to those dropping off automatic weapons.
Ralphs and a local nonprofit footed the bill for $130,000 worth of gift cards, Smith said.
The buyback program was originally developed as a way to combat gang-related violence, but the mayor cited additional reasons for giving people a safe option for getting rid of their guns.
"We know the statistics, how that you're more likely to have your gun used accidentally or stolen than you are using it to protect yourself against an intruder," Villaraigosa told reporters during a news conference at the Sports Arena location.
Linda Doran of Northridge, who was waiting in her car at the Van Nuys Masonic Lodge, said she was turning in a Smith & Wesson handgun she bought years ago for self-defense. She said she initially had planned to sell the gun, but felt more at ease in handing it off to police.
"I'm concerned that it may fall into the wrong hands," Doran said.
Just a few feet away from her car, Bruce Boyer protested the buyback and urged those waiting in line to sell their guns instead of exchanging them for the gift cards.
Boyer, who said he has protested at previous buybacks, claimed that most of the surrendered guns are broken and that gun owners are still hanging on to their best firearms.
"They were told it'll cost you 250 bucks to fix a $50 gun," he said.
A 2004 study by the National Academy of Sciences stated that gun buybacks were ineffective because the firearms that were turned in were the least likely to have been used in crimes.
But in his remarks at the Sports Arena Villaraigosa defended the program, saying that more than 8,000 guns have been surrendered since 2009. LAPD Chief Charlie Beck added that gun-related crimes have dropped by one-third in the last three years.

Why is the intake of animal protein associated with heart disease–even independent of saturated fat—and the intake of plant protein protective?
Images thanks to: National Human Genome Research Institute, Bludgeoner86, and This Girl Lel.
We know that the quality and quantity of fat is tightly correlated with the risk of our number one killer, heart disease, but what about protein? Out of Harvard recently: "Dietary protein and risk of ischemic heart disease in middle-aged men. Independent of source, and independent of fat, do you think total protein intake was associated with more heart disease, less heart disease, or no difference. And the answer they found was, no difference. The quantity didn't seem to matter, but what about the quality? The source of the protein?
"We observed no association between [total] dietary protein and risk of total IHD in this group of men. However, higher intake of animal protein may be associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease in "healthy" men, meaning those without hypertension, high cholesterol or diabetes, healthy only in quotes though given their higher risk of heart disease due to their consumption of animal protein.
They also "observed a significant inverse association between higher vegetable protein intake and risk of fatal heart disease." Meaning the more plants and less animals one eats would appear to be better for the heart even independent of the fat issue. So the benefits of a plant-based diet may extend beyond just avoiding saturated animal fat.
But isn't protein just protein, though? How does your body know if it's coming from a plant or an animal? Well, proteins are made of a string of amino acids, and the there are some amino acids more common in plants than in animals, particularly glutamic acid, which a study published in the journal of the American Heart Association was found, for example, to potentially "have independent blood pressure-lowering effects, which may contribute to the inverse relation of vegetable protein to blood pressure," meaning high plants, low pressure.
Their data "generally reinforce current recommendations for a high intake of vegetable products as a part of comprehensive nutritional/lifestyle approaches to preventing and controlling major established cardiovascular risk factors and epidemic cardiovascular disease."

This is another reason plant protein is preferable. Cheaper too! See Eating Healthy on the Cheap. Beans specifically have been linked to lower blood pressure (Fill in the Blank). Other healthier sources of protein, such as nuts, also lower heart disease risk via a variety of mechanisms. See for example How Do Nuts Prevent Sudden Cardiac Death?).

Thank you!
So, do you think that saturated fat, as utilized in studies, is just a marker for animal protein intake? Reason I ask is the issue of cow's milk ghee in Ayurveda. Has saturated fat, but no animal protein. Anecdotally, practitioners in India (no formal studies I could find) are reporting reversal of coronary artery blockage when patients move to an essentially vegan diet, but uses ghee instead of vegetable oils..
Given that Ayurveda was geared towards the promotion of longevity, would be interested to hear your thoughts.
Just curious, not trying to be confrontational, but how does ghee NOT have animal protein if it is from cow milk? Thanks!
Since it is clarified (separated), the milk solids and moisture are removed, leaving only the fat part of the butter behind. The solids that are removed constitute the protein, whereas the fat contains, well… fat! :)
Incidentally, ghee contains 8 mg of cholesterol per TEAspoon, according to Wikipedia. O_o
Agreed. Also has a ton of Vitamin K2. I'm interested in looking at this a bit further, given the huge role ghee plays in a traditional Ayurvedic Diet. Ayurveda was geared towards promoting longevity, so I assume they would't recommend an agent if it was disease causing. However, the mechanism needs to be clarified (no pun intended).
I was thinking the same. I can't believe for example that coconut products would cause health problems.
coconut milk and oil are indeed unhealthy as they contain a very high saturated fat content.
Wrong. Sorry, that's just plain wrong. Not all saturated fats are the same. Coconut oil does not contain the long-chain fats found in animal products or lard. Medium chain fatty acids, MCFA's, are good for you. They don't go into your fat cells, but straight to the liver where they are converted into energy (without sugars or carbs… good for diabetics). The health benefits of coconut oil are numerous, well researched, and documented. I don't have room here to list them all, but you can find them. Do a little research. http://www.livestrong.com/article/261372-coconut-oil-nutrition-facts/
I prefer to rely on the available science rather than look at articles on the internet. What you are suggesting about coconut oil is false.
Coconut oil does indeed contain medium chain fatty acids and this may be metabolized differently but there are very few studies to make the conclusion that coconut oil is "ok" or that medium chain saturated fats are negligible. A tablespoon of coconut oil has about 11.7 grams of saturated fat. about 8 grams of this is medium chain saturated fat and about 3.7 grams of this is long chain saturated fat. We have an abundance of evidence concluding that that long chain saturated fats are harmful so we cannot consider this oil a healthy option based on that alone.
As far as minerals and vitamins go, there is not one
significant vitamin or mineral in coconut oil. The only vitamin present in a tablespoon of coconut oil is .1 micrograms of vitamin k which does not even register as a percentage of daily value. Its also absent of any
omega 3 fats. Just looking at coconut oils nutritional profile we see that it is clearly a junk food. Junk food is by definition empty calories.
The available science on the oil is limited and does not really support coconut oil as a "superfood".
The evidence to prove its health benefits are scant.
Only 1 study on weight loss:
Forty obese women cut their food intake by 200 calories a day and exercised four days a week. Half of them used two tablespoons of coconut oil (about 240 calories' worth) every day in their cooking and half used soybean oil. After three months, both groups had lost the same amount of weight, about two pounds.
Only 1 poorly concluded study with very mixed results on alzheimers:
Placebo and coconut oil consumers scored no different on a cognitive impairment test when the subjects were randomized. If they weren't randomized (which could represent stacking up the placebo group with very sick
patients) then the coconut fat consumers scored slightly better after 45 days in the study. After 90 days though everyone pretty much evened out in cognitive improvement which does not show any real gain.
Only 1 old study done to "support" heart disease:
"In the only study done in people in the last 17 years, Malaysian researchers last year found that when they fed young men and women 20 percent of their calories from coconut oil for five weeks, LDL ("bad") cholesterol was 8 percent higher and HDL ("good") cholesterol was 7
percent higher than when the participants were fed 20 percent of their calories from olive oil"
Just because Both bad cholesterol and good cholesterol went up does not mean that coconut oil is protective against heart disease and it does not at all mean its healthy. This doesn't make good sense.
After looking through the livestrong article, the only support of evidence are opinions of a couple doctors from Oprah. The opinions of doctors do not count as science. The only study that the livestrong article posts is the one i discussed about weight loss which is not significant.
I do use coconut oil…….I love it!
Mollyhorn gave a great answer…ghee is casein and lactose "free"
Colin Campbell told us almost 8 years ago that a similar relationship between animal and plant protein exists in relation to cancer. This is more reason to avoid animal protein.
I love protein too, just plant protein. Just imagine how strong you can become eating plants and how healthy you'll be.
Look at the fantastic pic below of one of the greats Billy Simmonds.
Just like Windows 8. Have to change things up to keep me thinking. (Argh!) Please don't start charging for your changes, I truly appreciate what you do, and all for FREE!
Here, here! This website is a true public service!
Do you think soy (namely in the form of edamame beans, tempeh, or tofu) or quinoa would yield similar results since they are high quality proteins? Tofu also has a comparably higher amount of saturated fat for being a legume (food).
Dr. Greger, this seems to imply that adding MSG to one's meal of animal protein would make it more like plant protein, and possibly confer the benefit of lowering blood pressure. However, I suspect the amounts of MSG added to food in a typical Chinese restaurant, for example, would greatly exceed the proportion found in plant protein.
I am happy to eat less meat or no meat at all. It's been nearly half a year now. I question why nutrition studies are done on men only. Don't women get heart disease too?
KNOWTHYFOOD.COM stated that "After researching these products, my understanding is that they both contain high quantities of the amino acid glutamate, which has the same toxic effect as MSG described in Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills written by Dr. Russell Blaylock."
What are your thoughts on Nutritional Yeast and other Yeasts such as autolyzed yeast added to many foods?

I absolutely enjoyed the Lobster Roll at Ed's. We picked up two rolls to go and they were wonderful. Walking in to Ed's was very cute with most people dressed in their hamptons seersucker attire. Overall a nice experience.

Living in between Ed's and Pearl / Mary's we've had the opportunity to try all three. Overall, Ed's has more really great things on the menu than the other two. The Lobster Roll to me is the best of the three -- admittedly a close call and subject to personal taste. The Fried Ipswich Clams are outstanding as are the Lobster Ravioli and, while not a fan of tartar sauce on my seafood, Ed's is so good I ate it by itself. I even thought the pickles were something special. Clam Chowder, agreed, is not the best but it's OK. Nice wine list, super gracious staff -- it's a winner.

I was disappointed on my first trip here because I received a watery bowl of chowder devoid of clams and a limp Caesar. Well, my visit back last night was an entirely different experience. A friend and I had planned to grab a bar dinner at Morini but blew out of there when informed there was an hour wait and were very glad we did. We instead popped into Ed's for what was a fantastic New England style feast. Delicious, thick, rich chowder served piping hot with oyster crackers, great beer on tap, awesome jumbo shrimp cocktails, and a first rate "lobster bake" complete with a perfect soft shell Maine lobster, potatoes, sweet mussels and STEAMERS!. Service was pleasant and our seats on the counter made it the perfect guys night out dinner.

Steamed lobster - refrigerator cold inside, hot outside...fully cooked... Conclusion: not cooked to order. Since it was lunchtime, it may even have been leftover from the day before. The waiter offered to throw it back into boiling water to heat more thoroughly and was surprised when I preferred to wait for them to make a fresh one (but was it???). So, 15 minutes after my guests were served, I got my 1-lb lobster. I was charged for a 1.5 pounder because they only serve 1.5 pounders (sorry, years of summering in Maine...I know my lobster sizes). No offer of complimentary anything for the inexcusable meal. I live around the corner. I love lobster. But not here --- make me a fool once, shame on you...make me a fool twice --- shame on me.

The staff here was so incredibly kind and accommodating. From the moment we walked in until the minute we walked out the door, they went out of their way to take care of us. Which of course always makes the food taste better. My lobster salad wasn't a show stopper, per say, but the simplicity of it was refreshing. One person in my group became a lobster convert after eating reluctantly ordering the lobster roll. I didn't have a bite but everyone in my group was very happy at the end of the night.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Angela Rivers says she watched husband Michael Rivers, Scott Denno and Paul Taylor assault 118-pound Robert Rennie, who crouched on the ground with his hands covering his head.
She told the jury in Essex County Court that Taylor did not stop kicking the Keeseville man even after she screamed, "Stop!"
Taylor, she testified, delivered another round of blows with his feet, clad in size-14 Chippewa boots.
"'I'm not f*****g done yet,'" Mrs. Rivers said Taylor told her.
Her appearance on the stand took up much of the second full day of testimony of Taylor's trial for second-degree murder in connection with the beating death of Rennie on Aug. 25, 2012.
The incident began after Rennie, 45, and Mr. Rivers started to take swings at each other, Mrs. Rivers testified, recounting, "That's when Mr. Taylor entered the picture. He was airborne, and he punched Mr. Rennie in the back of the head."
Rennie fell to the ground, she said, "and that's when the three started kicking."
This is the third time Mrs. Rivers has told the gruesome account in court, recalling how the three men then attacked Rennie and kicked him repeatedly.
Her husband and Denno were both convicted of first-degree manslaughter and felony gang assault in those two other trials.
On Thursday, Mrs. Rivers laid out events that led up to the fight: her phone call to police reporting Rennie was visiting Samantha LaCroix in violation of an order of protection; the drive to get Taylor from LaCroix's apartment, where he was drinking with Rennie and LaCroix; and the argument she heard between Rennie, Denno and Mr. Rivers as they walked toward Mill Hill before the physical altercation began.
In court on Thursday afternoon, Taylor watched Mrs. Rivers testify, his jaw flexing sometimes as though he was grinding his teeth.

All My Sons by Arthur Miller
During the war Joe Keller and Herbert Deever ran a machine shop which made airplane parts. Deever was sent to prison because the firm turned out defective parts, causing the deaths of many men. Keller went free and made a lot of money. The twin shadows of this catastrophe and the fact that the young Keller son was reported missing during the war dominate the action. The love affair of Chris Keller and Ann Deever, the bitterness of George Deever returned from the war to find his father in prison and his father's partner free, are all set in a structure of almost unbearable power. The climax showing the reaction of a son to his guilty father is fitting conclusion to a play electrifying in its intensity.
A tremendously impressive drama that received the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play.

Zhuangzi's Butterfly Dream
The most well-known of Zhuangzi (Chuang-tzu) parables is the Butterfly Dream anecdote, which (in translation by Lin Yutang) goes like this:
"Once upon a time, I, Zhuangzi, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Zhuangzi. Soon I awakened, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man. Between a man and a butterfly there is necessarily a distinction. The transition is called the transformation of material things."
This short story points to a number of interesting and much-explored philosophical issues, stemming from the relationship between the waking-state and the dream-state, and/or between illusion and reality: How do we know when we're dreaming, and when we're awake? How do we know if what we're perceiving is "real" or a mere "illusion" or "fantasy"? Is the "me" of various dream-characters the same as or different from the "me" of my waking world? How do I know, when I experience something I call "waking up" that it is actually a waking up to "reality" as opposed to simply waking up into another level of dream?
Robert Allison's "Chuang-tzu for Spiritual Transformation"
Employing the language of western philosophy, Robert Allison – in Chuang-tzu for Spiritual Transformation: An Analysis of the Inner Chapters (New York: SUNY Press, 1989) – presents a number of possible interpretations of Chuang-tzu's Butterfly Dream anecdote, and then offers his own – which takes the story to be a metaphor for spiritual awakening. In support of this argument, Mr. Allison also presents a less well-known passage from the Chuang-tzu, known as the Great Sage Dream anecdote.
To my ear, this analysis resonates deeply with Advaita Vedanta's Yoga Vasistha, and brings to mind also the tradition of Zen koans as well as Buddhist "valid cognition" reasonings (see below). It also reminded me very much of the work of Wei Wu Wei who, like Mr. Allison, uses the conceptual tools of western philosophy to present the ideas and insights of the nondual eastern traditions. It's not necessarily an easy read, but – in my estimation – well worth the effort.
Different Interpretations Of Zhuangzi's Butterfly Dream
Mr. Allison begins his exploration of Chuang-tzu's Butterfly Dream anecdote by presenting two frequently used interpretive frameworks – ways of making sense of the story: (1) the "confusion hypothesis" and (2) the "endless (external) transformation hypothesis."
According to the "confusion hypothesis," the message of Chuang-tzu's Butterfly dream anecdote is that we do not really awaken and so we are not actually sure of anything, i.e. we think we have awakened but really we have not.
According to the "endless (external) transformation hypothesis," the meaning of the story is that the things of our external world are in a state of continuous transformation, from one form into another, into another, etc.
To Mr. Allison, neither of the above (for various reasons, which you can read about) is satisfactory. Instead, he proposes his "self-transformation hypothesis":
"The butterfly dream, in my interpretation, is an analogy drawn from our own familiar inner life of what cognitive process is involved in the process of self-transformation. It serves as a key to understanding what the whole of the Chuang-tzu is about by providing an example of a mental transformation or awakening experience with which we are all highly familiar: the case of waking up from a dream." … "Just like we awaken from a dream, we can mentally awaken to a more real level of awareness."
Zhuangzi's Great Sage Dream Anecdote
In other words, Mr. Allison sees Chuang-tzu's story of the Butterfly Dream as an analogy of the Enlightenment experience – as pointing to a change in our level of consciousness, which – incidentally – has important implications for anyone engaged in philosophical exploration: "The physical act of awakening from a dream is a metaphor for awakening to a higher level of consciousness, which is the level of correct philosophical understanding." Allison supports this "self-transformation hypothesis" in large part by citing another passage from the Chuang-tzu, viz. the Great Sage Dream anecdote:
"He who dreams of drinking wine may weep when morning comes; he who dreams of weeping may in the morning go off to hunt. While he is dreaming he does not know it is a dream, and in his dream he may even try to interpret a dream. Only after he wakes does he know it was a dream. And someday there will be a great awakening when we know that this is all a great dream. Yet the stupid believe they are awake, busily and brightly assuming they understand things, calling this man ruler, that one herdsman – how dense! Confucius and you are both dreaming! And when I say you are dreaming, I am dreaming, too. Words like these will be labeled the Supreme Swindle. Yet, after ten thousand generations, a great sage may appear who will know their meaning, and it will still be as though he appeared with astonishing speed."
This Great Sage story, argues Mr. Allison, has the power of explaining the Butterfly Dream (though not vice versa) and lends credence to his self-transformation hypothesis: "Once fully awakened, one may distinguish between what is a dream and what is reality. Before one has fully awakened, such a distinction is not even possible to draw empirically."
And in a bit more detail: "Before one raises the question of what is reality and what is illusion, one is in a state of ignorance. In such a state (as in a dream) one would not know what is reality and what is illusion. After a sudden awakening, one is able to see a distinction between the real and the irreal. This constitutes a transformation in outlook. The transformation is a transformation in consciousness from the unaware lack of distinction between reality and fantasy to the aware and definite distinction of being awake. This is what I take to be the message … of the butterfly dream anecdote."

The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.

The FLAVORx Pediatric Flavoring System allows our pharmacists to turn prescription and over-the-counter medicines that taste bad into medicine that kids like much better. With a special Bitterness Suppressor, Sweetening Enhancer, and a blend of natural and artificial flavors, FLAVORx helps mask the unpleasant taste that normally discourages your child from taking medicine. While our kid-approved flavors will help the medicine go down, there's no mistaking them for candy. That means you'll have peace of mind knowing your child will still understand the difference between better-tasting medicines and real sweet treats.

Fall 2012 - Academy for Healthcare Leadership Advancement
Fall 2012
Ithaca, NY
The Academy for Healthcare Leadership Advancement will begin with an opening session at Cornell, September 23-25, followed by six online "virtual sessions," before participants return to Cornell for their closing three-day session November 4-6.
Healthcare Leadership
To stay successful, health care organizations must identify emerging leaders and develop new strategies to handle a variety of issues, including:
- complex reimbursement systems moving toward pay-for-performance models;
- demands for improvement in quality, patient safety, and transparency;
- the urgent need for effective health information technologies;
- the effect of multiple stakeholders on service delivery; and
- well informed consumers assuming active roles in their health care decisions.
To help health care organizations advance their leadership capabilities and breakthrough performance, HANYS and The Johnson School at Cornell University collaborate to offer The Academy for Healthcare Leadership Advancement.
The Academy combines nationally recognized data analytics excellence and in-depth health care system knowledge of DataGen with the executive education and business expertise of Johnson at Cornell University—one of the nation's premiere universities and business schools.
The six-week Cornell certificate program will provide participants with the skills, insight, and know-how to effectively lead their organizations in today's complex and changing health care environment. As fiscal, regulatory, and quality pressures mount for health care providers, chief executives should consider The Academy's program as a key element of their organizational development and workforce planning for leaders.
Learn more about the Academy for Healthcare Leadership Advancement program.
You may register online, which requires credit card payment, by clicking on the green "Register" button. You will need to enter your e-mail address and HANYS password.
You may also print the downloadable registration form and send it in with payment.

Luxury Home with the Best Views on the Kona Coast (Big Island of Hawaii).
You'll love our solar heated pool! (This is not very common in Hawaii, but it is nice!) Brand new travertine decking around the pool for the ultimate luxury. You won't want to leave!
Picture yourself lounging around the pool with the huge blue ocean always in sight, napping on the hammock, or reading on the tropical lanai sofas. Imagine one gorgeous sunset after another, framed by the palm lined coastline and the lights of Kona. Enjoy them with a glass of wine, hawaiian music playing, surrounded by your family and friends. This is what you will find yourself doing at Kona View House.
Unlike many under $500/night vacation rentals, ours is decorated with high end furnishings and constantly maintained and upgraded to provide the perfect vacation experience. We purchased and began renting our home a few years ago and from the beginning received excellent reviews and repeat customers. Since then we have spent over $100,000 on additional improvements!
Our home contains Tommy Bahama-style tropical furnishings and tropical art on almost every wall. Lots of teak and bamboo. Gorgeous lanais. Solar-Heated Pool. hammock, Tiki Bar. 4 TV's including a Big Screen. X-Box with games. DVD Library..
3 bedroom + den with sleeper sofa, 2.5 bath. Large kitchen with Cuisinart appliances and cookware. High thread count sheets, thick and thirsty towels. Sleeps up to 8 comfortably.
This is a great home for 2-4 couples, or 1-2 families.
Even single couples are comfortable here, and for much less than a nice hotel room.
Please click on our website where we have dozens more photos! We have stayed at many vacation rentals ourselves, and have included every amenity we could think of, so you can the vacation of your dreams.
The house is on 2 floors. Upstairs is the kitchen, living room with big TV, dining room, main lanai, bedroom with king bed and ensuite bath, den with pull out queen bed, and powder room. Downstairs are two bedrooms with 1 full bathroom in the hallway between them. Both bedrooms downstairs walk out to the lower, travertine lanais, and the pool. One is a wonderful room with queen bed. The other has two twin beds which can be made into a king, and an armoire with x-box.
In addition to the home, weather and location play and important role in your VR choice. We are a 5-10 minute drive from downtown Kailua-Kona. Everything from Wal-mart and Safeway to the cute downtown shops and restaurants of Kailua-Kona can be reached in just a few minutes. You can even be snorkeling at one of the local beaches in just a few minutes. The airport is 15 minutes north, the mega resorts and beaches are 30 minutes north, and the Volcano is 2.5 hours south.
In terms of weather, because we are on the side of a mountain, you can choose your weather by elevation. Down toward the water it is very hot with little breeze. You would often want air conditioning at that elevation. Up at 1200-1500 feet it's quite cool; homes have fireplaces and residents wear long pants. Most people believe 600-800 feet elevation is ideal, and our home is at 650 feet. It warm enough to feel that you are in Hawaii, but almost never gets too warm. In the evening, cool air comes down the mountain, and you can control the temperature in the house by opening and closing the front door to allow this air in or not. (Note that up north where the resorts are, it is often quite windy, but here we only get light breezes.)
Many of our guests report that they had all kinds of plans to visit places around the island, but they actually spent a lot of their time at the house, floating in the pool, hanging out on the lanai and watching the sunset, not wanting to leave. This is the experience we try to provide.
Certainly there are many vacation rentals you can choose from, but we hope you will choose ours so we can share this magical place with you. There are places that are less expensive, but we have yet to see something comparable to ours in terms of views, amentities, luxury, and style, for less.
Please let us know if you have any questions or would like to book a stay. Mahalo and A Hui Hou
Note: For larger but well behaved groups, the house next door may also be available for rental. We do not allow parties however; only guests staying at the homes. Total occupancy for the two homes is 18. Let us know if you would like more details on this.

Call talk radio!
Posted on Jun 30, 2008
From the Libertarian Party's Volunteer Coordinator, Austin Petersen:
"They said that there were only about two or three dozen spammers out there, and it looks like there's a lot more," said Texas Congressman Ron Paul in a speech to 5,000 people in Philadelphia.
During the Paul campaign last year, the grassroots spent thousands of man-hours calling talk radio shows, sending emails and flooding message boards of the main stream media requesting Paul's appearance on their shows. It took endless badgering, and the volunteers endured lots of insults, just so that Paul's message could be heard. It was an easy task to do--calling the talk radio and TV shows--but it was necessary to get the word out.
This is still the case today with the Libertarian Party today.
Over the past several weeks, I have spoken to many people in states where they aren't working on ballot access about activities of which they can have their volunteers complete. It can be sometimes difficult to get volunteers active in doing something that is beneficial to the Party.
Out of several dozen volunteers who are given instructions, often only a few will actually execute.
One of the things that you can do as a volunteer is to call talk radio. This is something that can be done at almost no cost (other than phone charges), and it's something that the LP has set up a very easy system for you to utilize. On the front page of the LP Web site, the "Call Talk Radio" button has a listing of all the radio shows schedules and phone numbers. Also, there is an issues button so that you can talk about something Libertarian that is related to whatever topic about which the show's host is speaking.
Not only is this helpful in spreading the message, but it can inspire confidence in someone who is nervous about getting involved directly in the campaign process. If we are going to reach out to the public, this is a valuable and essential tool that must be utilized immediately. Don't be afraid to spend a day or two listening and calling into these radio shows.
Don't be afraid to get in there and take some swings! Email me for questions or advice anytime!

text: Three former Chiefs' captains will be honored by the organization this week as the team opens their Annual Fall Camp. In keeping with camp tradition, three teams will carry the last names of Jon Klemm (1988-91), Kevin Sawyer (1992-95) and Chris Bruton (2004-08) during their scrimmages this week in the Spokane Arena. Camp begins on Thursday with the first ice session at 10:30. Three scrimmages a day for three straight days will feature 70 plus players. Camp will end with the Red-White Scrimmage on Sunday, August 26th at 1:00 p.m. All ice sessions and the Red-White game will be free and open to the public. All three players acted as captains during their final season as a Spokane Chief with Klemm and Bruton wearing the 'C' for the club's two Memorial Cup Championships. Klemm, currently entering his fourth season as the team's Assistant Coach, Bruton and Sawyer will all coach their respective camp teams. Two other members of the 2008 Memorial Cup Championship team will assist during camp as Seth Compton (2005-09) and Dustin Donaghy (2007-10) will act as guest coaches. Klemm played 204 career games in a Chiefs sweater, including all 72 in the 1990-91 season. In 15 playoff games that season he had three goals and nine points and scored a goal with 21-seconds left in the second period in the Memorial Cup clincher in a 5-1 win. Klemm went on to an 18-year professional career that included 773 NHL games and a pair of Stanley Cups with the Colorado Avalanche (1996, 2001). Bruton appeared in 258 career WHL games, all in Spokane. In 2008 as a 20-year-old he scored a career high 26 goals, third on the Chiefs, and 63 points, also third. Bruton was a two time choice as the Chiefs' Humanitarian of the Year and the Player's Player award winner. He earned his Business degree from Acadia University in 2011 and is entering his second season as a pro in the St. Louis Blues farm system. Sawyer, who was the Chiefs' captain in 1995, remains Spokane's all-time leader in career penalty minutes with 989 in 176 games. After three seasons in Spokane Sawyer signed a free agent contract with the St. Louis Blues and spent eight seasons as a pro appearing in 110 NHL games with four different teams. Prior to retiring due to injury, Sawyer spent his final season with the Stanley Cup bound Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in 2003. Upon retirement, Sawyer spent two seasons as an Assistant Coach with the organization. Sawyer currently works as a broadcaster for the WHL on Root Sports and the Spokane Chiefs on SWX.

NEW ORLEANS (BP)--The transfer of power in Egypt has the potential to be "even more dramatic than the fall of the Berlin Wall," a Southern Baptist observer said after Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down Feb. 11.
"In these uncertain times, I am sure that God is drawing Egyptians to Himself in Jesus Christ. That is of primary importance, but He is also seeking to give all people a government in which our God-given personhood can excel," Mike Edens, professor of Islamic studies at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, told Baptist Press.
"In such environments, freedom of speech and freedom of conscience flourish. Egypt and most of the world has not experienced that. For God to give that gift to Egyptians, an extraordinary period of free discussion by Egyptians of Egyptian concerns, hopes and dreams needs to occur. What has happened in these past days is unique in the Arab and Muslim worlds but it is also rare within the human family.
"This can be an event even more dramatic than the fall of the Berlin Wall," Edens said. "It is a great time for us to pray for God to be glorified in the course of His choosing in Egypt, to pray for followers of Jesus Christ living in Egypt and among Egyptians to be bold and effective in living out and sharing the Gospel."
Amid change, Egyptian Christians are asking for prayer. In an e-mail shared with Baptist Press, an Egyptian Christian asked specifically that believers pray for Mubarak to be succeeded by a godly president who cares for the people; for freedom, including freedom of worship; for a democratic government; for a lifting of the oppression and injustice; and for the Arab and Muslim world to experience God moving.
The man described his experience from the past few weeks, noting that he left Egypt on a trip the day before the demonstrations began. When he realized what was going on, he returned to Cairo, but "it was not the Cairo I left." Roads were empty and tanks were everywhere, he said.
He went to Tahrir Square Feb. 1 in support of those calling for change and said it was a wonderful experience, with all kinds of people -- poor, rich, educated and non-educated -- gathered to peacefully demand a different kind of leadership.
The next day, the Egyptian Christian said, there was a radical shift in the atmosphere. Pro-Mubarak crowds attacked the demonstrators, he said, and caused irreversible damage in the people's trust of the regime.
"The battle is very violent on the ground," the man wrote before Mubarak stepped down, "but we do know that the battle in the heavenly places is much more important. We need to win this battle in the spiritual realm or winning in the physical realm is meaningless and probably impossible.
"There are hundreds of prayer meetings all over the country. We need you to unite with us in prayer to win this battle for Egypt. We do know that if we win this battle in Egypt, it will change the face of the Arab world, which will in turn change the face of the Muslim world."
Another Egyptian Christian relayed in an e-mail that his local congregation did not sense that the revolution would occur and therefore was not prepared to help people cope at first.
"One of the lessons for us is to watch more insightfully through the events and try to analyze well to be able to read things and ask the Lord for a message for our people," the man wrote.
Two members of his church lost a shop they owned when criminals started looting and burning. Because of an imposed curfew, the church's evening services were cancelled. But they held a two-hour prayer meeting each day while they could still move freely.
"I asked the congregation to share how they felt during the crisis," he wrote. "It was a way to help us expose our negative feelings and pray that the Lord may heal us."
Among the responses were that people were afraid, shocked, distracted and worried about their families.
"If the above described the feelings of believers, you can imagine how bad the feelings of non-believers were," he wrote. "Then, I asked them to share what they think God was saying to them or what they have learned during the crisis."
The church people said they repented and wept, focused on who God is, recognized God's leading, sensed God calling them to be "a watchman for the people," felt convicted to stop being selfish and encourage those who are afraid, and realized it was time to be silent and let God speak.
"One of the positive things that we gained through these tough days was getting closer with our Muslim neighbors," the Egyptian Christian wrote. "After the police disappeared and the chaos started, we had to stand together to watch and protect our homes and neighborhoods, and that was the first time after years of tension between Muslims and Christians.
"I see this as a good door opened for us to help and serve our neighbors. We have been living together for hundreds of years through which the gap has increased. We see the crisis as a bridge for us to reach them."
This man, too, asked for prayer that the leadership that comes after Mubarak will allow more freedom for Egyptian Christians and "grant us the right to carry on the Great Commission freely" and plant new churches without the restrictions that had been imposed on them previously.
"Pray that we may have wisdom to discern when and how to interact with the government in the coming period," he wrote. "Thank God for guarding His church and keeping us safe throughout the entire crisis."
The man added that the church in Egypt has "a lot to do in the coming weeks."
"There is a lot of destruction in the country. We need to be positive and active in our communities and serve our people practically to rebuild and restore, which will also need a lot of funds to accomplish.
"A lot of Egyptian families lost a lot, and it is our time to step up and help. Pray for us to receive a special power and direction from the Lord to help and comfort them. The coming days are a golden chance for us to interact with people.
"Pray that the Lord may complete His healing for His wounded children from fear and all the negative feelings mentioned above. Pray that we might also be able to support and encourage even those outside the church as they are in real hunger for this."

Harms says lower property taxes still constituent priority
State Senator John Harms of Scottsbluff says constituents would still like to see something done to lower property tax.
While Governor Heineman says it is generally up to local government to deal with the property tax burden, Harms told KNEB News as lawmakers look at the state's tax structure over the interim, they need to make sure they look at property tax as well.
Harms says he believes a competitive overall tax structure is what's needed to boost the state's economy, not just eliminating the income tax as Heineman suggested earlier this year. Harms says he would expect the interim tax committee to travel the entire state, including the panhandle, to get input on what should be included in their recommendations for the next legislative session.
Harms will provide a legislative wrap-up today at noon in the chamber board-room.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -- Ryan Harrison moved closer to his first ATP Tour title Friday, advancing to the SAP Open semifinals with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Bulgaria's Dimitar Kutrovsky.
Fresh off his Davis Cup debut last weekend that helped the Americans sweep Switzerland, the 19-year-old Harrison hastily blew past Kutrovsky in 62 minutes. Harrison rallied from 2-0 down in the second set and took advantage of two calls overturned by replay to break Kutrovsky's serve for the final time.
Harrison will face defending tournament champion Milos Raonic on Saturday. The hard-serving Canadian defeated Kevin Anderson 7-5, 7-6 (3).
On the other side of the draw, Andy Roddick was scheduled to face Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan on Friday night. And Julien Benneteau of France was matched against Belgium's Steve Darcis.

Vikings WR Percy Harvin believes the migraines that have plagued his career are no longer an issue.
Harvin told The Virginian-Pilot that he hasn't suffered a migraine in five or six months.
"This is the best I've felt, probably, since I've been in kindergarten," he said.
The third-year receiver said he met with a couple doctors who are helping with his diet and other things that have caused migraines. The 2009 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year missed two games last season. He collapsed at a Vikings practice because of a severe migraine.
Harvin finished the season with 71 catches for 868 yards and five touchdowns.
The way we see it
If true, this development could be big news for the Vikings and their young, electric star. If Harvin can stay healthy and on the field, he can be along the lines of a DeSean Jackson-type receiver with his playmaking abilities, not to mention the positive impact it will have on his health.

Put on your walking boots for a good cause
11:39am Tuesday 11th March 2014 in News
MALVERN Hills Lions are looking for keen walkers to take part in one of the major fundraising events of the club's calendar.
The annual Bluebell Sponsored Walk is this year being held on Sunday, April 27, and will offer three courses, of two-and-a-half, five or seven miles, all starting and finishing at British Camp car park.
Walkers can either donate all the money they raise in sponsorship to the Lions, or they can walk on behalf of a recognised charity and split the proceeds fifty-fifty.
All of the money that the Lions Club receives will be split between Lions charities and Diabetes UK.
Sponsor forms and more detail about the walk can be obtained by contacting 0845 833 9548 or email@example.com.
Alternatively, walkers can register on the day at the car park between 9am and noon.

While all the Broncos movement in the first week of free agency shook up which positions are secondary needs, they did not address what I feel were their main needs - namely defensive line and safety. Even if they manage to sign a free agent at one of those positions they still need to get younger, and better, at these positions. This is especially true on the D-line, where I think they need to draft both a tackle and an end.
Beyond that, their other needs would be at WR and OT. They might be able to survive 2007 without upgrading these positions but they don't have a proven long term solution at starter at either spot and they need the depth since both Rod Smith and Adam Meadows won't be back in 2008.
I can't see them drafting any of the other positions in the first three rounds, but Coach Shanahan has surprised me before :) Before I start talking about specific players, I'd love to hear what positions you all think the Broncos need to address via the draft.

A new variety for the Hunter Valley that originated in southern Italy. A robust wine with aromas of white flowers, citrus and celery salt spice. The palate is fresh citrus and crisp apple with a little white pepper spice. Flavoursome varietal tannins give structure and carry the fruit flavours along the palate. A versatile and food friendly wine suitable for many cuisines.
These grapes are grown in the cool elevated climate of Orange in New South Wales. The nose has the perfume of mixed red and blue berries, a reflection of the cool growing climate. The palate is a bit more brooding with blackcurrant and some cedar oak lending flavour and structure.
