text: Improving Employee Health Requires Social Solutions By Stephen Miller, CEBS 9/27/2013 NEW ORLEANS—The need to take a broad view of employee health was the topic of a keynote panel at the 2013 EBN Benefits Forum and Expo, held Sept. 22-24. The panel looked at collective opportunities to achieve "meaningful, sustainable and replicable improvements" in the health of individuals, businesses and communities. "As the cost of U.S. health care approaches $3 trillion a year, now is the time to shift from a narrow focus on treatment, access and behavior to a comprehensive look at the causes of illness and disease that drive people into the health care system in the first place," said David Whitehouse, M.D., chief medical officer at UST Global. For instance, "Often, the cognitive brain is held hostage by the emotional brain," resulting in stress, fatigue and depression. Treating the symptoms is insufficient; the focus must be on the individual's well-being and, "by necessity, on the broader social context" affecting the workforce. Confronting Social Factors "Health plus positive attitude equals increased productivity, creativity and satisfaction, which in turn increase business success," noted Gary Earl, founder and team captain of the 2013 Journey for Health Tour, a 45-day, 3,200-mile bicycle trek across America whose goal is to motivate individuals, businesses and communities to improve health. The tour began Aug. 22 in California and finishes Oct. 7 in New York (Earl joined the panel via large-screen video and telephonic hookup). A former vice president of benefits and health care at Caesars Entertainment Corp., Earl stressed the need to change perceptions so that health is seen as an asset, rather than an expense. "You can't improve individual health without understanding social factors" that lead to conditions such as obesity, diabetes and hypertension—three of the largest drives of health care costs—he said. Beyond the 'Buzz' "Consumerism and high-deductible health plans are not, by themselves, the answer," added Peter Dandalidies, M.D., the CEO of Trend Tech LLC, referring to the latest "high buzz" solutions to runaway health care costs and misdirected use of services. Consumerism is "not a one-trick pony that works every time. The same is true with defined contribution health care and private exchanges—early results are encouraging, but they are only part of the answer." There is 30 percent overuse of health services in the market today, Dandalidies noted. He recalled a smoker with cluster headaches who was seeking medical relief. Even though cluster headaches are linked to smoking, the man was seeing doctor after doctor to obtain a cure while not addressing his smoking habit. "What tobacco-cessation resources were not being provided or promoted by the health system paying for all these doctor visits?" Dandalidies asked. Citing approaches that have proved effective in treating individuals within their social context, he said "Patient-centered medical homes and onsite clinics can be part of the answer." "Physicians traditionally treat patients one at a time and ignore population-based health issues that require treatment in a social context," Dandalidies observed. Overeaters, for instance, tend to socialize with other overeaters. "The social context impacts health quality, service and cost." Addressing the health care crisis requires "taking things to the next level," Dandalidies advised. He encouraged employers to work with local business groups to improve community health. Added Whitehouse, "We need to work together collaboratively to improve problems of our own cause." Work Environments Affect Health A wealth of research connects poor work environments—those with highly stressful jobs, long hours and irregular shifts—with employee health consequences such as sleeping problems, fatigue, anxiety, stomach problems and related ailments. According to a recent study by the nonprofit Integrated Benefits Institute (IBI), employers that want to increase their focus on health-related job performance and its impact on the bottom line should broaden their view from the individual health of employees to additional organizational factors, including health culture and employee well-being. "When employers understand that organizational factors influence not only the health of their workers but also their performance and contribution to the company, they can take steps to improve the lives of their workers and their bottom lines at the same time," said IBI President Tom Parry (see the SHRM Online article "Health Culture Shown to Improve Employee Performance").

Region's homeless struggle to survive
Stark contrast on page
On Dec. 26 The Times published two articles in the NWWednesday Section reporting on the continuing challenges regional homeless people face trying to survive on the streets ["Help for homeless in cars off to a slow, steady start" and "Olympia is banning camping in public," NWWednesday]. The stories are linked on page B3 along with an architecturally engaging, almost quarter-page photo of a contemporary home advertising Pacific Northwest magazine. I cannot be alone in observing the sad irony this layout presented to your readers.
Intentional or not, the page left me wondering if the disparity depicted by the photos of homeless youth asleep on the sidewalk contrasted against a multimillion-dollar private residence illustrates the growing socio-economic divide in our nation while also exacerbating our society's apparent inability to see those in need of basic shelter?
Or might the layout help us see things anew, refocusing our gaze and spurring us to action?
My wish for the New Year is for the latter!

Took them long enough.
Nearly two years after their infamous first go-round, Filipino sensation Manny Pacquiao (55-5-2) and undefeated WBO Welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (31-0) will look to settle the score tonight (Sat., April 12, 2104) in the main event of a four-fight HBO pay-per-view (PPV) event from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
MMAmania will have LIVE coverage of the event, starting with the PPV broadcast at 9 p.m. ET.
In addition to this rematch, the product of one of the most questionable judges' decisions in recent memory, three other intriguing clashes round out the card. Undefeated Russian Khabib Allakhveridev (19-0) defends his WBA light welterweight title against Floyd Mayweather protege Jessie Vargas (23-0), Raymundo Beltran (28-6-1) tries to rebound from a robbery draw against Ricky Burns by taking out late replacement Arash Usmanee (20-1-1), and prospect Jose Felix, Jr. (26-0-1) faces Bryan Vazquez (32-1) at super featherweight.
But we all know what you're here for.
Will "Pac-Man" right one of boxing's biggest recent wrongs? Or will Timothy Bradley prove himself the superior fighter controversy-free?
Let's find out.
Name: Manny Pacquiao
Age: 35
Record: 55-5-2, 38 KO
Last Five Fights: Shane Mosley (unanimous decision win), Juan Manuel Marquez (majority decision win), Timothy Bradley (split decision loss), Juan Manuel Marquez (knockout loss), Brandon Rios (unanimous decision win)
Notable Victories: Juan Manuel Marquez x2, Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, Marco Antonio Barrera x2, Erik Morales x2
Name: Timothy Bradley
Age: 30
Record: 31-0, 12 KO
Last Five Fights: Juan Manuel Marquez (split decision win), Ruslan Provodnikov (unanimous decision win), Manny Pacquiao (split decision win), Joel Casamayor (technical knockout), Devon Alexander (technical decision win)
Notable Victories: Kendall Holt, Miguel Vazquez, Lamont Peterson, Luis Carlos Abregu
As someone who believes Pacquiao won the last fight by a fair margin, I'm tempted to say that as long as he does the exact same thing and the judges aren't stupid, he'll be fine.
Unfortunately, the records still show an L for that fight, so something needs to change.
For Manny to win this fight convincingly, the key is fighting for all three minutes of each round. A criticism leveled at him after the Bradley fight, one which was used to justify scoring it for Tim, was that Manny tended to coast for two minutes before turning it up in the third. His cardio needs to be on point to where he can throw his trademark combinations with the same level of fervor for all 36 minutes.
In addition, while Bradley has the punching power of an agitated toad, punches are still punches. He found his greatest success in attacking Manny's body, something he likely intends to repeat and which Manny needs to deal with.
Aside from that, the fight may come down to the nature of their confrontations. Bradley likes to flurry with wide punches and is a very solid defensive fighter, while Manny excels at closing the distance quickly with that big left hand and firing in combination. If Bradley can get Manny's respect and force a close-range, rough-and-tumble affair, he's got a shot.
In the end, though, Manny is still the superior offensive technician and figures to have a sizable footspeed advantage. Though he's not laying fools out the way he was a few years ago, there's still thump in that left hand, which Bradley sorely lacks. The key is not getting complacent; as long as Manny consistently forces Bradley back and lands that long left to the head and body, he shouldn't have a particularly difficult time. He just has to do it for every minute of the fight.
Bradley's chin, while historically solid, does still have a few question marks around it after that slugfest with Provodnikov. Manny is not the concussive puncher at age 35 and 147 pounds than he was in his heyday, but the possibility of a knockout remains.
Still, let's go with the safe bet. Manny outworks Bradley with his trademark combinations and footwork to take home a wide judges' decision.
Prediction: Pacquiao via unanimous decision
Two truly elite welterweights and a bevy of solid fights in the lower divisions. I figure it's worth a look; see you there, Maniacs.

Prosecutor 'indicts' Punxsutawney Phil for early spring prediction
Updated On: Mar 22 2013 08:32:00 AM EDT
On a day where temperatures will be about 50 degrees lower than they were on this date last year, Butler County's prosecutor took action.
Prosecutor Michael Gmoser "indicted" Punxsutawney Phil for "misrepresentation of early spring, a unclassified felony."
Gmoser said that the groundhog "did purposely, and with prior calculation and design, cause the people to believe that Spring would come early."
"Contrary to the Groundhog day report, a snowstorm and record low temperatures have been and are predicted to continue for the near future," the "indictment" read.
Gmoser said that the people call for the death penalty for the groundhog due to "aggravating circumstances."

2013-2014 Arlington Speakers
Solon Simmons Solon Simmons is a professional sociologist and intellectually polyglot, humanistic social scientist with formal training in sociology, the history of science and business and informal training in just about everything else. Once aptly described as the ur-type of the University of Chicago undergrad, Solon's interests span the range of disciplinary knowledge with special focus on political culture, genealogies of confrontation, and discursive relationships between social mechanisms and cultural structures. His first book The Eclipse of Equality: Arguing America on Meet the Press tells the story of the atrophy in post World War II America of one of the canonical categories of the moral imagination, equality. In this book Solon, explores the progressive articulation of the American idea as the the core values freedom and tolerance find ready advocates and rhetorical supports in postwar America, while equality thought of in non-ascriptive and universal terms stagnates and falls out of our collective vocabulary. The story is not a happy one. Americans now confront one another over a dysfunctional divide, lacking the intellectual tools they need to confront their most dire social problems.

Since 2006 Mr. Smith has been C-SPAN's in-house historian, in which capacity he has spearheaded long form series on America's presidential libraries, historically significant White House contenders, and the network's current series First Ladies: Image and Influence. He is also a Scholar in Residence at George Mason University, and a frequent guest on The PBS News Hour and other programs. He organizes and leads historical tours (presidentsandpatriots.com), and is largely responsible for the design of the new museum and education center at Ford's Theater in downtown Washington. In January, 2007 millions heard him deliver the final eulogy at Gerald Ford's Grand Rapids funeral - an act of friendship he would repeat four years later at the request of former First Lady Betty Ford. The author of nine books, Mr. Smith is at present completing a biography of Nelson Rockefeller to be published by Random House in 2014. All this is in keeping with his mantra: "There is no excuse for a dull book, a dull speech, a dull museum or a dull life - not when dealing with history, the most fascinating subject I know."

It won't pass. If it does pass, it will immediately be challenged and stayed until it reaches the Supreme Court. A Republican will be President by then and refuse to defend the case or it will be repealed. Government can't make it prohibitive to buy guns, because 2nd Amendment was passed to make it so We the People could overthrow a tyrannical government. Every Amendment in the Bill of Rights was put there to protect the states and We the People from the federal government. Constitution couldn't have been ratified without those protections.

Everyone's favorite name, Nomar Garciaparra, isn't doing much better batting a .179 for the 5-8 Oakland A's.
For completion's sake, Varitek is batting a .250, which isn't great but ain't too bad for a catcher.
In two playoff games for the Celtics, Stephon Marbury has only scored 2 points but he pulled down a few boards and got a few assists in the first game of the series. Otherwise, the playoffs have been like the rest of Marbury's tenure at the Celtics - less than stellar.
Will Bynum, on the other hand, has become a pretty good bench player for the Pistons and is putting in some solid minutes in a desperate effort against the unstoppable Cavaliers. Like I said a few weeks ago, I never thought the tiny man from our Final Four run would be the most successful NBAer when all of those players ran out of eligibility.
Thoughts on NBA playoffs or MLB are welcome.

|Wildcats brace for Cal
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 17 October 2008 08:34
The Arizona Wildcats have done that twice this year. And if they can keep up that pace, they'll be in fine shape in the next two weeks.
After losing to Stanford last Saturday, Arizona plays host to No. 25 California on Saturday and sixth-ranked Southern California on Oct. 25. For reasons that elude the Wildcats, they seem to play to the level of their opponents.
``I don't know why it is we play harder against the top-ranked opponents,'' free safety Nate Ness said. ``But when we play against New Mexico or Stanford, we have more talent than them, but we just give up. I really don't know what it is.
``Honestly, I guess those teams just want it a little bit more than us, and they come in there and they've got the desire,'' Ness said. ``We just go in there playing not to lose. But we need to start playing to win.''
tual ninth-place finisher. They have also knocked off a Top 10 team in each of the past three seasons.
The Wildcats (4-2, 2-1 Pac-10) are hoping to extend the trend against ranked teams in the next two weekends, beginning with Saturday night's game against the Golden Bears (4-1, 2-0 Pac-10). A victory would lift the Wildcats back into contention in the conference race.
Cal, meanwhile, is looking to keep stacking wins as it heads toward a Nov. 8 visit to USC - a game that could decide a Rose Bowl berth. After Arizona, the Bears return to Strawberry Canyon to face UCLA and Oregon.
But the Golden Bears can't look past Arizona, because they remember the last time they brought a ranking to the desert. It was Nov. 11, 2006, and the Wildcats upset eighth-ranked Cal 24-20.
``It has been difficult for us to play at Arizona in the past,'' Cal coach Jeff Tedford said. ``They beat us the last time we were there, so we have to learn from that and move forward.''
The Wildcats seem to be a different team in the friendly confines of Arizona Stadium, where they have won five straight, their longest streak since 1998-99.
``Hopefully, coming home will give us the extra momentum we need to get us in a comfort zone,'' coach Mike Stoops said. ``Look at the numbers. They are drastically different here than on the road. Those are things we have to use to our advantage.''
home this year? It has faced Idaho, Toledo and Washington, who have a combined 3-15 record.
It's been a different story on the road, where the Wildcats lost to New Mexico and Stanford and defeated UCLA.
The Wildcats have struggled to stop the run on the road. They gave up 221 rushing yards at New Mexico and 286 at Stanford.
``Cal is going to see that and try to take advantage of that,'' Arizona defensive end Brooks Reed said.
After reviewing Arizona's game against Stanford, Tedford said he didn't see a lot of holes in the Wildcats' run defense.
``I thought that Arizona actually had it defensed pretty well,'' Tedford said. ``They had guys there and just missed tackles.''
Cal's success on the ground may depend on the health of speedy tailback Jahvid Best, who has been recovering from a dislocated left elbow. Best averages 105.2 yards rushing, second in the Pac-10.
The Bears beat Arizona State 24-14 on Oct. 4 without Best. They were off last weekend.
Cal's quarterback picture is also unsettled. Senior Nate Longshore won the starting job from sophomore Kevin Riley against Arizona State, passing for 198 yards and three touchdowns. But Tedford said this week that he hadn't decided who would start against the Wildcats.
``They're both getting a lot of opportunities and we'll kind of make the decision as the week moves forward,'' Tedford said.

Coalition Formation in Simple Games: The Semistrict Core
AbstractWe consider the class of proper monotonic simple games and study coalition formation when an exogenous share vector and a solution concept are combined to guide the distribution of coalitional worth. Using a multiplicative composite solution, we induce players' preferences over coalitions in a hedonic game, and present conditions under which the semistrict core of the game is nonempty.

Night of Demons (Mass Market Paperback)
Not currently shipping from publisher – Subject to future availability
Centuries ago, the Salem witches founded the village of Raine's Landing, then cloaked it in magic to hide it from sight. Many of their descendants still practice the supernatural arts—and no one who lives here can ever leave.
Now evil has breached its boundaries once again . . .
A serial killer with a corrupt and twisted soul, Cornelius Hanlon has freely entered Raine's Landing, undeterred by the ancient magical safeguards. And when he chooses the town's oldest adept as his first victim, the maniac inadvertently gains possession of a powerful "gift" more terrible than anything he could have sadistically dreamed.
Ex-town cop Ross Devries and his Harley-riding sometime-partner, Cassandra Mallory, have no supernatural abilities. But they are the last line of defense in this village of secrets and shadows—facing a psychopath who now wields the power to bend the living and the dead to his will.

Presidential Memorabilia on eBay: Value, Minimum Bid, and Popularity
AbstractThe paper develops a simple theoretical framework for empirical investigation of the final price, number of bids, and whether an item sold for eBay auction data collected in 2009-2010 for presidential memorabilia items. The explanatory variables include the eBay auction variables minimum bid, seller feedback, shipping and handling, and the buy-it-now feature, as well as some political variables and a measure of popularity. One contribution of the paper is the introduction of the popularity measure to the empirical analysis. The second contribution to the literature is a very simple theoretical model that distinguishes between a "seller" and a "dealer" to make a prediction about the effect of the minimum bid on the final price. The major empirical results are that (1) the coefficient on the minimum bid in the final price regressions is between zero and one as the theory predicts, and (2) the popularity variable has an effect on the final price but only via its effect on bids.

Today is the last day to vote in the 2009 American Wine Blog Awards, the only real contest of its kind for the folks who tap away day after day with something to say about wine on the Web. If you're reading this blog, then chances are you read several wine blogs, and so you know a thing or two about what makes for good wine content in this alternative universe that some call the blogosphere. And if that's true, then I'd like to urge you to vote in these awards, as your opinion is the most valuable criteria in the success of the awards, and of the folks who stand to be honored by them.
Vinography is a finalist in three categories: Best Writing, Best Wine Reviews, and Best Overall Wine Blog, and I would be pleased if you felt like my efforts were worthy of your vote in any or all of those categories.
Regardless, I would strongly encourage you to vote in these awards, as everyone deserves support and recognition for their efforts.
Thank you. You can vote here for the next six hours -- until 11:59 PM Pacific Time on March 4th.
Congratulations Alder, another well-deserved win (how many is this now for you?)
Thanks for giving the rest of us a chance... you big jerk...
Congrats (again), man!
