What's this? Warmer temperatures, even though it is grey and rainy. Hubby and I went to the grocery store, where we saw, while walking through the parking lot, two locals walking into the store in work boots, shorts, a short sleeve shirt and down vest. Yes springtime in New Hampshire!
The ice is thinning on our lake and there are large puddles everywhere. All the BOB houses (for ice fishing) must be off the ice by April first.
Our snow is melting, and I know under all that snow and dirt 'Snirt' my lawn really took a beating! I am afraid we will need a lot of reseeding this spring.
I was thinking that perhaps I will plant some spring bulbs. You know, I stopped planting bulbs, because Fritz followed me around and dug up every bulb I planted! At first I was a bit angry, but how could I stay angry at that dear boy?
Life has changed but life also goes on.

Open innovation for sustainability: Lessons from the GreenXchange experience
AbstractDespite its rising popularity, open innovation has received relatively limited attention in the discussion of how to implement 'green' innovation, a fact which is of particular relevance within the context of the Rio+20 summit 2012. The GreenXchange (GX), which was launched in 2010 by Nike along with nine other organizations, is an important exception to this trend. The GX is a web-based marketplace for intellectual property (IP), which appears not to have lived up entirely to the original expectations set out at its creation. Other than Nike, only one other company – Best Buy – has agreed to place its IP assets on the GX and the vast majority of the posted IP cannot be used in the creation of commercial products. This paper explores in what ways the GX exemplifies both the usefulness and limitations of open innovation for sustainability and discusses the lessons that can be drawn from the GX experience in terms of the broader thinking on innovation, intellectual property and sustainability. It concludes by proposing ways that can help such initiatives be made to function better.

I would really appreciate some comments about this practical problem.
Quick description. I have a variable number of links that can be used to make up a given belt width. The question is, how many of each link. Selection criteria: it is better to use longer items.
Example. Let's say we want to create a belt width, W = 1024.0 One of the models has the following link lengths: L = [34.0, 65.0, 96.0, 126.0]
The question is, how many of each link to make the width.
Here is a few approaches I have tried.
1. Greedy (select longest 1st to satisfy criteria) c = [0,0,0,8] where c is the count of each item. This leaves a gap of 16.0 and I can't fit even 1 of the smallest items. Greedy is easy but not good.
2. Selection loop Not too easy, I think that this is a difficult problem. I have tried many strategies: filling with small items then removing them sequentially to fit the next size up.
3. Knapsack method Not really appropriate because this is based on a given number of items.
4. Subset sum problem This is a sub-class of Knapsack but I have not been able to get it working.
5. Bin Packing problem It sounds similar but I couldn't get it to apply to my problem.
6. Brute force (random selection) Strangely, this one finds many exact matches. I use a simple polynomial of the count as a rating. rating = n[0] + n[1]*2 + n[2]*3 + n[4]**4 + ... One of the solutions from brute force is [4, 0, 4, 4] giving exactly 1024. The problem is, this method often comes up with a different selection so it is not ideal.
7. Exhaustive search Not practical because there are too many choices.
8. Simulated Annealing From the success of brute force, this looks like a good alternative. Can someone point me to a simple example (please not another traveling salesman).
9. Genetic and particle swarm Not sure about these.
Now, I am stuck and frustrated. Is there a direct algorithm that can be used for this problem?

My Original Message after a horrible phone call:
Subj: Re: Upromise World MasterCard - 1193 Question about a Fee
Message text: I am astounded by the way I was treated when calling in to BankofAmerica (B.A.). My account was transferred from Citibank and was on autopay and I guess they didn't draft the payment for the last bill.
Then the first notice I get from B.A. is a late fee and interest, before I even received my new valid credit card from you. When I asked to speak to a supervisor regarding getting the fees reversed, I was told I there was no supervisor available to speak, until I paid the balance due first, and that I should take up the problem with the missed payment with Citibank even though the fees were "paid to B.A." I paid the balance in full on the same day. Now I get a new balance owed of a
measly 2 dollars. If this is how Bank of America treats its customers and is this desperate to squeeze whatever they can from good paying cardholders I WILL NEVER give another dime of my business to your company again. I am a very loyal paying cardholder but my first impression with your company is not a pleasant one by any means. From a customer service standpoint his is not a way to start any business relationship. Kindly reply regarding the crediting back of the fees and interes
Bank of America's simple reply:
Dear Richard P. M,
Thank you for your inquiry dated 5/19/09 regarding a late fee adjustment. We are happy to assist you.
After reviewing your account, we have determined that the $39.00 late fee assessed on 04/15/2009 was applied correctly. We regret we are unable to remove the fee at this time. Therefore, this transaction will remain part of your account balance.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We value you as a customer and appreciate your business. If we may be of further assistance, please contact us again by e-mail. Thank you for choosing Bank of America.

I never liked them in the past but had no choice when they took over my Upromise Citicard, and was going to give them a chance but now they will never get my business nor should they get any other person's business. THis bank can take tax payer money and then turn around a and go fee happy on legitamte good paying customers.

Nurses Say They Need A Break; Why Leadership Should Listen
The study found that nurses reported having only 25.7 minutes break during their entire shift. Nurses working the longest hours were least likely to receive appropriate breaks (e.g., 10 minutes every 2 hours and a 30-minute meal period free of patient care responsibilities).
Research demonstrates that overworked, tired nurses make more errors. They are more likely to make a medication error and they are less able to think critically. They may fail to catch the subtleties in a patient's case that indicate a serious problem, leading, eventually, to failure to rescue (which CMS is now tracking, incidentally).
This skewed culture can also be evidence of a deeper problem of horizontal hostility, also known as bullying, lateral violence, or nurses "eating their young." It manifests itself in a culture where nurses complain about having to watch someone's patients while they take a quick break. Or gossiping about so-and-so being a "bad nurse" because he leaves his patients to get lunch.
Instead of being viewed as a rite of passage, or a part of nursing, it should be required that nurses take breaks. Senior leadership should pay attention to whether nurses take breaks for the sake of staff and patient health.
Here are three tips leadership can implement:
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Greg Mercer, MSN (2/10/2012 at 7:12 PM)
This important issue is one of so many examples of the impact of conflicts of interest on every aspect of health care today. That it requires litigation for Nursing staff to ensure brief breaks of any sort is a surprise to many people, but certainly not Nurses. Who else could believe that professional care providers have routinely been routinely denied a short break to eat lunch or dinner, even in frequent 12 or 16 hour shifts? The Harvard-affiliated Partners system recently experienced such successful litigation, as another example. No other professional or other employee group, to my knowledge, suffered such abuse. Such suits result from a common practice: many managers have routinely insisted that all nurses have time to eat, ignoring obvious and frequent evidence otherwise, thus improving their staffing budgets. Even after successful litigation, training and policy may consist of rule sets such as: 1) You must take breaks, although no action will be taken to ensure this is possible in a way consistent with professional obligations to your patients, 2) You must document your time worked accurately, including breaks, 3) You must document extra time worked, and document missed breaks as such, 4) You must not skip a break or work extra time until you have contacted your supervisor and obtained prior approval. Add these rules up logically: when you lack time for a break, nevertheless you must find your supervisor, whether available or not, and take time to find them and discuss the situation, before you can receive accurate compensation. If such efforts and the distraction and time involved degrade patient care, you remain entirely responsible. The onus thus remains entirely on you, as it was prior to litigation. With such a Catch-22 scenario, HR departments may continue to permit managers to avoid ensuring breaks, while formally agreeing the opposite. Such is the power of a conflict of interest, highly regulated in many areas of American life, health care being a prominent exception. Here, conflicts at many levels have become so common as to considered customary and unavoidable, while a major source of the waste and inefficiency Americans can no longer afford.
Deb Andelt (9/15/2010 at 4:31 PM)
We human beings can't give what we don't have. Nurses, or anyone, can't extend care and compassion unless they are "filled" themselves. A new study reveals the the need to change the paradigm from caring for others first to primarily caring for self first. Being in a state of personal well-being, healed on all levels, is the only way to be present to be of service for others. The report: "5 Dimensions of Self-Caring that Heal Healthcare" provides organizations a roadmap to curate their "beingness," the experience, with self-caring as the keystone of the stategy. This goes beyond breaks. While that is certainly important, the impact of the 5th Dimension -the business model- may be the most important transformation an organizattion can undertake.

Fans Smash Download and Watching Records In First Weekend Of Live Baseball On MLB.TV & At Bat
The start of Spring Training games from Florida and Arizona this past week marked the return of live baseball games to MLB Advanced Media's two flagship subscription products, MLB.TV, the most prolific live video service on the Internet, and MLB.com At Bat, the top grossing sports app of all-time. Baseball fans accessed 1.2 million live audio and video streams of the first available Spring Training games this past weekend across supported wired and wireless devices, representing an increase of 53 percent from last year's opening weekend of games.
MLB.com At Bat was downloaded 1.7 million times, a figure not reached until the app surpassed two million downloads on Opening Day 2012 (April 5), 37 days after its release and en route to the record-setting 6.7 million app downloads.

LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/28/13 -- MediaPass, the most powerful and easiest to use online subscription and paywall solution, today announced that it has partnered with the Weekly World News to start monetizing its content via MediaPass' innovative but simple software. Weekly World News joins thousands of publishers who are using the MediaPass subscription dashboard to implement a pay model for their content in a matter of minutes, powered by one simple line of code.
"We are excited to have a brand like the Weekly World News choose MediaPass to distribute their content in a way that will help them instantly generate revenue, but is also fair to their readers and makes sense within the current paradigm of online publishing and sharing," said MediaPass CEO Matthew Mitchell. "As a digital-only publication now employing our paywall, there's no reason they can't generate the kind of revenue they did at the peak of their print existence."
"MediaPass is the best paywall solution on the market by far, and the most experienced at subscription monetization. We are extremely excited about the growing revenue opportunity with them as a partner for our digital subscriptions," said Weekly World News CEO Neil McGinness. The Weekly World News was one of the earliest publishers to move to an online-only format, in 2007, after once enjoying a print circulation of 1.2 million. According to online monitoring service Quantcast, the site has approximately double that number in global visitors each month.
MediaPass provides a painless model in generating paid views to site content for hundreds of online publishers, large and small, spanning a number of publishing specialties and areas. The MediaPass platform, based in the cloud, is so simple that anyone with basic blog skills can use it, and it has the capacity to work with any web publishing platform while handling millions of visitors and site requests.
"Most web publishers simply don't have the time or resources of The New York Times, which has implemented a successful paywall, but which has taken a few years and millions of dollars in cost before profitability," said Mitchell. "With MediaPass, any publisher, big or small can benefit from our proven paywall platform with no overhead and just one line of code. Our platform supports all pay models, and is constantly optimized to maximize conversion and revenue for all our publishers."
The MediaPass platform also offers a variety of choices to its publishing partners, such as metered paywalls or subscriptions -- whatever optimizes results for individual publishers. Once a publisher has added MediaPass to their site using MediaPass' proprietary and simple Javascript code snippet or CMS plugin, every aspect of paid publication becomes easy to control from the MediaPass Publisher Dashboard. MediaPass also offers a CPM and an upfront guarantee to many publishers who instantly make five to 20 times more than they were before using the service.
For more details on how MediaPass is helping move online publishers to a more profitable future, please visit http://www.mediapass.com.
About MediaPass
MediaPass is the leading, easy-to-use paywall solution for online content. With only one little bit of code, digital and web publishers can instantly monetize their online material -- articles, videos, podcast, and more -- with zero upfront cost and very little effort. Invented by experts in online monetization models, MediaPass helps web publishers push past the revenue limits of advertising into a more profitable future.

'I had two different procedures with Dr. Hoenig over the last 3 years (a facelift and my eyes done). He is a brilliant surgeon, an artist and a genuinely caring medical professional. I look so much better than I could have dreamed possible and do not look "done" in any way. The outcome is perfect and natural looking. I have referred many people to him and he is very honest with them and will not do unnecessary procedures. Those that have also had work done are thrilled.'

Sitton is one of the best guards in the league & is locked up for a while. Bulaga was developing into a top RT before a hip injury sidelined him late in the season. His availability to begin the season is in doubt, but, luckily, UDFA Barclay filled in adequately in his absence, so we may be able to ease him back into the line-up if he's not fully ready at the starting gun. The LT spot is Sherrod's to lose after missing all of last year after suffering a broken leg late in '11. Newhouse will look to retain his job, but optimally he will be an experienced reserve. Lang's contract balloons after this season, so he needs to improve his play to continue earning his keep. Hopefully, last season's performance was attributable to injury.
The C position needs to be addressed, one way or another. EDS may be viewed as the C of the future, and if so, he needs to be extended, as he is playing on a one year RFA tender. If not, his replacement needs to be acquired & groomed. There's a few interesting prospects at the bottom of the roster. Van Roten made the team as a UDFA & logged some regular season snaps at TE/H-Back, and looks to have good mobility. Datko was a highly touted LT prospect until an injury dropped him out of the top of the draft. TT drafted him late last year & has been developing him on the PS.
Draft priority (C): High
I am not sold on EDS as C.
Draft priority (G): Low
Starters are set, and there's a bit of depth, too.
Draft priority (T): Moderate
There's some uncertainty here, but outside of a dominant LT (who won't be there when we pick), things are somewhat rosy. The key is value; if the players aren't there, we can go without drafting a T.
Potential 2nd-5th round picks (C): Travis Frederick, Barrett Jones, Brian Schwenke, Khaled Holmes
Potential 6th-7th round picks (G): Omoregie Uzzi, Garrett Gilkey, Sam Brenner, Jeff Baca, Earl Watford, John Sullen, Blaize Foltz
Potential 4th-7th round picks (T): David Quessenberry, Xavier Nixon, Terron Armstead, Brennan Williams, Ricky Wagner, Jordan Mills, Reid Fragel, Manase Foketi
Potential FA targets still on the market: T Tyson Clabo*, T Jared Gaither*, T Wayne Hunter*, G Mitch Petrus*, T Guy Whimper*, T Jammal Brown, T Rashad Butler, G Antoine Caldwell, G Leonard Davis, G Ramon Foster, T Winston Justice, C Dan Koppen, C Doug Legursky, C Ryan Lilja, T Bryant McKinnie, G Brandon Moore, T Frank Omiyale, G Jake Scott, T Max Starks, T Eric Winston
*released; will not count against us for compensatory picks if signed

When next we see Michael, he's sitting in the parked Charger with Fi, and they're on stakeout. "$1,350, and all Sam got on Carla was a P.O. box," Fi sighs, holding up a business card that reads "Carla Baxter, PO Box 0044 Coral Key, FL, [ZIP code: Fi's thumb]. The card also says that Carla's an aquifer specialist. And that's everything we have on Carla. "More than I had, Fi," Michael says with equanimity. "Someone's got to pick up the mail sometime," he adds as they watch the "Mail N More" across the street. And when they do, I'm sure nobody will notice the big black Charger that belongs to the guy they've been pursuing, surveilling, recruiting, and generally fucking with for the past year. Fi decides to lighten the mood by cranking some Bulgarian disco, which will make them even more inconspicuous, sitting there with the windows open. As the camera pulls up and away over the busy street, Michael's VO has a news flash for us: "Intelligence gathering isn't all running around with a gun and a spy camera. When the operation demands it, you get to sit in a hot car with no air conditioning. in downtown Miami." With Fi and nine hundred decibels of Bulgarian disco, no less.

Nobody likes to admit to being wrong. But it is absolutely necessary to maintain spiritual progress in recovery.
Step 10Step 10 may be one of the least popular of all the 12 steps, because it is simply no fun to be wrong and then have to admit it! But without this step, progress toward recovery can not only cease, it can actually lose ground.
Continued to take person inventory, and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
It is another process which seems on the surface to be difficult to face, but in actuality, it is as much a benefit to the one admitting the wrong as it is to the person who was wronged. By promptly facing mistakes and taking responsibility for them, it prevents situations from festering into resentments and anger that can become real problems.
Step 10 helps to keep the spiritual house clean. All humans and are bound to make mistakes and errors. Owning up to those wrongs quickly settles the issue. Rather than weighing on the conscience or building up to produce greater consequence, the mistake is corrected promptly and the problem nipped in the bud.
Visitors to the bulletin board here at the About.com Alcoholism site have shared some very practical ways they have applied this step to their lives, in our study of the 12 Traditions and 12 Steps continues:
More about Step 10
Taking ResponsibilityIndex of 12 Steps and Traditions Study L>
"I learned that it made me feel good to admit to being human, and making a mistake, and being truly sorry for it."
In the Family
"Saying "I am sorry" is easy. Meaning it is a different story."
Staying Humble
"This step in my daily life has helped me to be more conscious of other people's feelings instead of just my own."
Daily Inventory
"At first I thought this was going to be a drag, until I realized how good it made me feel."
Ego Buster
"I still don't like doing it. The reason is simple: EGO."

Controversial U.S. fugitive Edward Snowden has blamed the government for stranding him in Russia, something which he never intended to happen. Secretary of State John Kerry fired back, however, calling it a "dumb answer" and accusing him of helping terrorists.
"I personally am surprised that I ended up here," Snowden said in an interview with NBC News set to air on Wednesday, his first with a U.S. TV network.
"The reality is I never intended to end up in Russia," he continued. "I had a flight booked to Cuba onwards to Latin America and I was stopped because the United States government decided to revoke my passport and trap me in Moscow Airport." more >>
The Wall Street Journal recently showed Vladimir Putin in Crimea. There was the saturnine Slav in an unusually ebullient mood. He was standing in front of a banner ostensibly celebrating the victory of the USSR in what Russians still call "The Great Patriotic War" against Hitler in 1945.
Of course, some would argue that the only reason Vladimir Vladimirovich appeared before the large red banner with its Communist Hammer and Sickle insignia is for historical accuracy. Those victory banners from 1945 have a long history in Russia.
Defenders of Putin's public association with the symbols of Soviet power might say it is rather like us celebrating America's victory at Fort McHenry in 1814 with a fifteen-star, fifteen stripe "Star-Spangled Banner." more >>
With Iran on the verge of obtaining nuclear weapons and Russia wanting to re-assert itself as a world power through the Ukrainian crisis, a strong military presence in the world is more important for America than ever. A critical way the military does this is by remaining a global leader in ballistic missile technology.
The details of ballistic missile defense systems are wonky and technical, especially as the technology improves far beyond those missiles used in the defense systems proposed by conservative hero President Ronald Reagan. But now, as military weaponry becomes more sophisticated at an alarmingly fast rate, and more hostile countries acquire ballistic missile technology, the United States must stay ahead of the curve when it comes to missile defense.
But staying ahead of the curve for our defenses does not necessarily mean always supporting the most theoretical advancements, especially as our federal government struggles to rein in record deficits. more >>
Automatic budget cuts known as "sequestration" are expected to shed some 30,000 soldiers from the active rolls in the next 17 months, with 10,000 of that number going in 2014 and another 20,000 to follow in 2015.
According to an Army Times report the cuts are the result of a larger effort expected to reduce the size of the U.S. Army to a force of 420,000 soldiers by 2019.
A recent accounting of the Army shows that on April 1 some 519,786 troopers were reported on active duty. more >>
A news article in last Friday's New York Times sets out to explore why the United States waited until November 2013 to designate Nigeria's Boko Haram as a "foreign terrorist organization." In light of the group's latest atrocity – the kidnapping and enslaving of over 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria's Borno state last month – this is a very good question.
The article makes the point that the terrorist designation was made after Hillary Clinton resigned as secretary of state, and confirms reporting that it came after a two-year debate in which "the Justice Department, the F.B.I., American intelligence officials and counterterrorism officials in the State Department" all called for the designation but State ultimately opposed it.
Clinton's then–assistant secretary for African affairs, Johnny Carson, tells the Times that State opposed the designation for "for six or seven different reasons," which boil down to an equal measure of fear of the affect on Boko Haram, possibly making it seem more important and popular, and wariness of legitimizing a Nigerian government crackdown. State counterterrorism official Daniel Benjamin essentially gives a "what difference does it make?" shrug, stating: "Designation was one of many tools and not the most urgently needed one in dealing with the Nigerians.

Functional ANOVA Models for Generalized Regression
AbstractThe Functional ANOVA model is considered in the context of generalized regression, which includes logistic regression, probit regression, and Poisson regression as special cases. The multivariate predictor function is modeled as a specified sum of a constant term, main effects, and selected interaction terms. Maximum likelihood estimate is used, where the maximization is taken over a suitably chosen approximating space. The approximating space is constructed from virtually arbitrary linear spaces of functions and their tensor products and is compatible with the assumed ANOVA structure on the predictor function. Under mild conditions, the maximum likelihood estimate is consistent and the components of the estimate in an appropriately defined ANOVA decomposition are consistent in estimating the corresponding components of the predictor function. When the predictor function does not satisfy the assumed ANOVA form, the estimate converges to its best approximation of that form relative to the expected log-likelihood. A rate of convergence result is obtained, which reinforces the intuition that low-order ANOVA modeling can achieve dimension reduction and thus overcome the curse of dimensionality.

Radeon HD 4770: New Graphics Chip from ATI
With a new, powerful chip generation, ATI is challenging Nvidia at the low end.
The new chip generation is called RV740, which ATI hopes to serve as a kind of test balloon for the next high-end RV870 chip. It's somewhat unusual to launch a new chip generation with a low-end model, which is not least of all why ATI describes its HD 4770 as "recession-proof." Technically the chip is a 40 nanometer RV770 chip (of the Radeon HD 48.0 generation) that AMD/ATI stresses is the first commercial chip of that size that its manufacturing partner TSMC has produced.
Because ATI raised the clock of the 128-bit memory bus to 1.6 GHz to get to to a reasonable 51.2 Gbytes/second memory bandwidth, no significant power savings should be expected. However, the Radeon HD 4700 can fall back to a 512-MByte GDDR5 RAM, GDDR5 being rather a novelty in the low-end market. Running at 750 MHz and with 128 unified shader units and 15 raster units, the 826 MIO transistor chip delivers a 12-Gpixels/second fill rate (24 Gpixels/second texture rate). It can also theoretically deliver, with 960 Gflops, twice the processing power of its direct competitor in the low-end market, the Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT. The HD 4770 is available now on graphics cards from numerous manufacturers at around $109 street price.

So much duplication
Why politics might prevent the NDP from ever getting spending under control; Blog of the week: Anybody Want a Peanut
I was sitting in a waiting room recently, and struck up a conversation with the person sitting beside me. Just small talk at first... "so, where do you work?"
"Manitoba Mental Health"
I don't recall the exact name of the organization, but it was something like that. Nor do I recall the name of the lady with whom I was speaking, and even if I did I would not tell you because I do not want to get her in trouble. In any case, her answer interested me because I knew nothing of this organization. So I asked her: "What does this organization do?"
"We provide support, counseling, assistance finding employment and that sort of thing. There is so much duplication."
"There is so much duplication. You wouldn't believe how many organizations do the same thing we do."
She just threw that out there, completely unsolicited.
"There is so much duplication."
That she would think to include that statement in casual conversation about her place of work tells me it's really a significant factor. Perhaps something that frustrates her or limits her sense of accomplishment at work.
That led to a conversation about why there is so much duplication. The consensus was that there are certain areas that, for reasons of optics, are immune to cutbacks. Like police services at the municipal level, health services at the provincial level are nigh impossible to cut. They are, however, extremely easy to increase. Announcing a new program for mental health services or anything else is good PR. Thus, with new programs being added all the time and no old programs getting cut, duplication arises.
This squares with something I heard from a friend who used to work in the provincial Finance Department on Broadway. He said prior to any budget, proposals would be made to trim one thing or another in the area of health care and they were all systematically rejected. This was something that my friend found frustrating and limited his sense of accomplishment at work.
What is stopping the current NDP administration from cutting some of these programs? In theory, the NDP should be able to trim some things without fear the opposition PCs will criticize them for it. The PCs ought to understand the necessity of cutting duplication, and are not really in a position to criticize modest health care cuts after their last experience in power.
The problem (I think) is that the NDP hammered the PCs relentlessly in previous elections for health care cuts, and it worked too well. This is their biggest weapon: the PCs are the party of cutting health care and the NDP are not. They do not want to lose that advantage. They don't want the PCs to be able to say "you cut health care too," the next time the NDP attacks the PCs in an election campaign.
-- -- --
In a Twitter discussion, Winnipeg Free Press reporter Dan Lett asked pundit Luc Lewandoski to explain "What part of health and education is non-core?" It's not really a fair question. Mental health services are a "core" service, for example, but that doesn't mean they can't safely be trimmed or consolidated without impacting the final product.
Any suggestion that budgets should be trimmed are immediately countered by a government MLA with simplistic arguments about "core" services being cut, as if there is no grey area. The fact is, there is probably a great deal of room for budget trimming, but you need to be familiar with the organizations to know what those are.
I never knew anything about mental health services until recently -- I don't use mental health services because I still cling to the belief that I'm mentally stable and do not require urgent medical attention -- but it seems everybody has some kind of story about how a government agency or department is wasting time or money. All of this knowledge needs to be harnessed, and the government needs to be fearless in attacking these areas of waste and excess if it ever hopes to get its spending under control.

Looking for that perfect gift for dad this Father's Day? They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so why not feed your dad this Father's Day with something that is good for his heart health as well? Your Hy-Vee dietitians suggest the new Angus Reserve steaks and a homemade steak rub for dad.
Not only do most dads love steak, but lean cuts of beef along with a balanced diet may be good for heart health. Choose cuts of beef such as top round steak or top sirloin to ensure the steak is lean.
Make your dad his own personalized dry steak rub. A rub is a combination of salt, pepper, sugar, herbs and spices. These mixtures are used to flavor meat, and unlike a marinade, the dry rub will form a crust on the exterior of the meat when grilled. The salt component of the rub will help draw out the juices in the steak, which results in a moister steak. When grilled, the sugar will caramelize and form a flavorful crust. Just about any cut of meat can be rubbed before going on the grill or into the smoker. Homemade rubs also help to control their sodium content.
Fill empty spice containers with your personalized rub for dad and decorate it just for him for the perfect Father's Day gift - or add the spice rubs to a gift of grilling tools and Angus Reserve steaks. Get creative and mix ground espresso into your combination of spices or add dried ground chipotle peppers if your dad likes a lot of spice. Your dad will love a gift that came from the heart and is good for his heart. Stop by your local Hy-Vee and ask your dietitian for more dry rub recipes.

The Emily Program Foundation is on a mission to save lives, change minds, and work to eliminate eating disorders.
Eating disorders and related problems affect millions of Americans. They are devastating, isolating, and costly for individuals, families and our communities. And while more prevalent than breast cancer or Alzheimer's, eating disorders receive relatively little resources for research, prevention, and treatment. The Emily Program Foundation champions advocacy and education. Working with like-minded organizations, community groups, and individuals, together we can make a difference!
And, as part of regional and national coalitions, The Emily Program Foundation advocates for access to care, greater research resources, and improved prevention. It also helps fund advocacy efforts, citizen lobbying, and public policymaking.
Using seminars for professionals, classroom talks, community workshops, and other forums, The Emily Program Foundations increases awareness and facilitates effective interventions for eating disorders, obesity, and body image problems among adults and young people.
