Is Louisville, Kentucky, the New Face of Asthma Healthography?
Meredith Barrett, PhD, is vice president of science and research at Propeller Health, a health technology company working to reduce the burden of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). She is an alumna of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Health & Society Scholars program at the University of California (UC), Berkeley and UC, San Francisco. Learn about the RWJF Briefings @ the Booth at the APHA Annual Meeting on Monday, November 17 and Tuesday, November 18.
Leaders in Louisville, Kentucky, know first-hand that where you live and work affects your health and well-being. During a special session at the American Public Health Association's meeting this week in New Orleans, we explore how the air quality in Louisville neighborhoods impacts the health, economy and overall vibrancy of the community. And we'll highlight how Louisville is the poster child for tackling tough issues like asthma head-on, top-down and bottom-up, through data and collaboration among individual residents, corporate execs, community organizers and public leaders.
Asthma attacks are sneaky, expensive and debilitating, yet almost entirely preventable.
Asthma is one of the most common and costly chronic diseases in the United States, affecting more than 8 percent of the U.S. population. Despite decades of research and the development of effective treatments, rates of morbidity have not declined and health care costs reach more than $50 billion a year. Asthma also leads to more than 13 million missed days of school and 10 million missed days of work, negatively affecting educational achievement, employee productivity and regional business growth. But the most frustrating part is that a large proportion of these hefty impacts could be avoided with improvements in self-management, community policy and advances in digital health care.
RWJF Scholars in the News: Scapegoating EHRs, Ebola fears, children fighting cancer, and more.
Around the country, print, broadcast and online media outlets are covering the groundbreaking work of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) leaders, scholars, fellows, alumni and grantees. Some recent examples:
In an article published in Healthcare IT News, David Blumenthal, MD, MPP, writes that health care providers may be too quick to blame Electronic Health Records (EHR) for medical errors. Blumenthal notes that EHRs are still imperfect and that improvements will take time, but argues: "There is no going back in the electronic health information revolution. No physician or hospital, however loud their complaints, has ever thrown out their EHR and returned to paper. The dissatisfaction with the technology will recede as EHRs improve, and as a new generation of young clinicians, raised in the electronic world, populates our health care system." Blumenthal is president of The Commonwealth Fund, former National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, and an RWJF Investigator Award in Health Policy Research recipient.
In a blog published by the Washington Post's "Monkey Cage," Shana Gadarian, PhD, and her co-author write that Ebola anxiety, while potentially misplaced and harmful, is likely to have an impact on whom Americans trust to handle the disease and what kinds of policies they will support to fight it. The authors have studies society's reactions to small pox and H1N1 flu. "In general we find that anxiety makes people more supportive of government playing an expansive role in protecting them during a health crisis ... we think our study and the current Ebola outbreak both emphasize that people will rally around experts and increase their support for policies that fight the contagion, even if they hurt civil liberties. Let us hope that the U.S. health system is ultimately worthy of the confidence the public has in it." Gadarian is an RWJF Scholars in Health Policy Research alumna.
Nurse Practitioners Make a Difference with Mobile Clinic
Nurse practitioners enjoyed prime time TV coverage when Sunday's 60 Minutes program ran a segment about the Health Wagon, a mobile clinic serving six counties in an impoverished Appalachian coal-mining region in southwestern Virginia.
The segment, originally broadcast in April, highlighted the work of Teresa Gardner and Paula Hill-Meade, both doctors of nursing practice, who currently see approximately 20 patients a day in a converted RV, while also keeping up with up fundraising responsibilities related to the federal grants and corporate and private donations that keep the organization going.
Their patients "are people that are in desperate need," Meade told 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley. "They have no insurance and they usually wait, we say, until they are train wrecks. Their blood pressures come in at emergency levels. We have blood sugars come in at 500, 600, because they can't afford their insulin. ...They have nowhere else to go."
However, Gardner said, as demanding as the work is, "we get more out of it than we ever give."
The Burden of Stress in America
A new NPR/Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/Harvard School of Public Health poll released today finds that about half of the public reported a major stressful event or experience in the past year. Nearly half (43 percent) reported that the most stressful experiences related to health.
More than half of those who experienced a great deal of stress in the past month say too many overall responsibilities and financial problems were contributors. More than a third of those with a great deal of stress say the contributors include their own health problems and health problems of family members.
"Stress touches everyone. Unfortunately, many of those feeling the most stress get trapped in cycles that can be very unhealthy. If we are going to build a culture of health in America, one big step we can take is recognizing the causes and effects not just of our own stress and the stress of those closest to us, but of others we encounter in our day-to-day lives," says Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, RWJF president and CEO.
What's Next Health: Keith Wailoo
In this interview with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Steve Downs, SM, historian Keith Wailoo, PhD, discusses how we define our own cultures of health and shares how deeply held cultural narratives influence our perceptions of health. Wailoo is jointly appointed in the Department of History and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. This video is part of the RWJF What's Next Health series. Also check out the accompanying infographic.
Infographic: When 'Good' Data Goes Bad
Good data can play a critical role in answering some of our most vexing questions concerning health. But history shows us that data is never collected or analyzed in a vacuum. Instead, the culture of the times acts as a lens that can either obscure or reveal truth. Here is one example, looking at the history of data collection concerning cancer and race.
How Can Health Systems Effectively Serve Minority Communities? Use Electronic Health Records to Discover How to Improve Outcomes.
To mark National Minority Health Month, the Human Capital Blog asked several Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) scholars to respond to questions about improving health care for all. In this post, Bonnie L. Westra, PhD, RN, FAAN, an associate professor at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing, responds to the question, "What are the challenges, needs, or opportunities for health systems to effectively serve minority communities?" Westra is an alumna of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Executive Nurse Fellows program.
Electronic health records (EHRs) are rapidly proliferating and contain data about health or the lack thereof for minority communities. Evidence-based practice (EBP) guidelines can be embedded in EHRs to support the use of the latest scientific evidence to guide clinical decisions. However, scientific evidence may not reflect differences in minority communities served.
As a first step to compare the effectiveness of EBP guidelines for minority populations, practicing nurses and nurse leaders need to advocate for implementation of EBP nursing guidelines in EHRs. Additionally, EBP guidelines must be coded with national nursing data standards to compare effectiveness within and across minority communities. Nurse researchers need to conduct comparative effectiveness research to learn how to optimize EBP guidelines for minority communities through the reuse of EHR data and to derive patient-driven evidence.
RWJF Scholars in the News: Electronic health records, nurse mentoring, 'longevity gaps,' and more.
Around the country, print, broadcast, and online media outlets are covering the groundbreaking work of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) leaders, scholars, fellows, alumni, and grantees. Some recent examples:
The California Action Coalition has developed a mentorship program that is helping prepare the next generation of nurses to serve as leaders on health care reform. The state's mentorship program dovetails with the 2014 leadership focus of the Future of Nursing: Campaign for Action, a national effort backed by RWJF and AARP that is working to transform health care through nursing. "Mentoring is key to strengthening any leader," Mary Dickow, MPA, tells Nurse Zone. "Having strong mentors in my life helped me think differently and advance. I wouldn't be where I am today without them." Dickow is statewide director of the California Action Coalition.
A recent interview in the Atlantic with David Blumenthal, MD, MPP, has generated numerous comments from readers weighing in on the merits of electronic health records (EHRs). Blumenthal is former national coordinator for health information technology at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and a recipient of an RWJF Investigator Award in Health Policy Research. He points out in the interview that EHRs offer "substantial" benefits for patients, but notes that in the short-term, providers incur significant costs and that it will take time to make the transition to EHRs. The Atlantic has now published several articles highlighting reader comments, which can be found here, here, and here. FierceEMR published a story about the give-and-take, which notes that many of the commenters who are skeptical about the value of EHRs are physicians.
RWJF Health & Society Scholars program University of Wisconsin-Madison Site Director David Kindig, MD, PhD, appeared on the Kojo Nnamdi Show on Washington, D.C.'s WAMU radio to discuss the "longevity gap,"—the growing gap in life expectancy between the rich and the poor. Kindig and other guests explore how health care reform and policies to address income inequality might affect the gap.
A Call for Better Measures: The Well-Being of a Population is Consequential
Cary Gross, MD, is a professor of medicine and co-director of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Clinical Scholars Program at Yale University. Carley Riley, MD, MPP, is an RWJF Clinical Scholar and Brita Roy, MD, MPH, MS, is an RWJF/U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Clinical Scholar. This post is part of the "Health Care in 2014" series.
As a new year begins, we are inundated with information summarizing the prior year: the top 10 movies, most newsworthy moments, and worst Hollywood breakups. Yet the topic that draws the most attention is the economy and our financial health. We gather a tremendous amount of information to assess this. The Census Bureau randomly selects 60,000 households each month, unleashing a swarm of 2,000 field representatives to track down the selected participants and assess their employment status. The Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys 500,000 businesses to estimate job creation. Approximately 5,000 "consumers" are surveyed each month to gauge their confidence. And so on.
So there you have it: we know that in 2013, the unemployment rate decreased from 7.9 percent to 6.7 percent, about 2.1 million new jobs were created, consumer confidence increased, and the Dow Jones index rose by 26.5 percent. Certainly, the health of the national economy is important, but is this the type of health that really matters most? When envisioning a healthy life, many people think about the sort of health that allows us to engage in enjoyable activities, maintain strong interpersonal relationships, and feel that our lives have purpose. A full assessment of health—of individuals, communities, and the country—should assess these dimensions.
Aren't we already awash in data about health and well-being? Yes and no. There are abundant data concerning insurance status, prevalence of diseases, and utilization of health care. Additionally, large national survey efforts through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gather information on disease risk factors and health behaviors. But well-being is not captured by these data. Well-being is a comprehensive construct accounting for interwoven facets—such as physical, mental, and social health—that together comprise a global assessment of true health. It refers to a positive state of health that allows for the pursuit of meaningful activities, formation of a cohesive social network, planning for the future, and coping with, overcoming, and even growing from negative events.
The "Next Best Thing" to Being There: Robots Expand Physicians' Reach
Telepresence robots are expanding access to specialists in rural hospitals experiencing shortages of physicians, and in other hospitals throughout the country, reports the Associated Press.
Devices such as the RP-VITA, introduced earlier this year, can be controlled remotely with a desktop computer, laptop, or iPad, allowing physicians to interact with patients through video-conferencing via a large screen that projects the doctor's face. An auto-drive function allows the robot to find its way to patients' rooms, and sensors help it avoid obstacles. It also gives the physician access to clinical data and medical images.
Dignity Health, a hospital system with facilities in Arizona, California, and Nevada, started using telepresence robots five years ago to promptly evaluate patients who had potentially suffered strokes. Dignity now has robots in emergency rooms and intensive care units at about 20 California hospitals, giving them access to specialists in areas such as neurology, cardiology, neonatology, pediatrics, and mental health.
Health Care Transformation in the Context of Caring
Ann O'Brien, MSN, RN, is national director of clinical informatics for Kaiser Permanente - National Patient Care Services & KP Information Technology. She is a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Executive Nurse Fellow (2011-2014).
I had the honor of hearing Donald Berwick, MD, present last week at the American Hospital Association Leadership Forum in San Diego. In fact, I registered for the conference to hear his keynote address. He brings the unique perspective of both of his previous roles: president and CEO of the Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and, most recently, director of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
But more importantly he knows the secret of how to transform care. In fact, we can go back to the 2001 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century for the six aims of health care improvement: safe, effective, patient centered, timely, efficient and equitable. Berwick was on that IOM committee and expressed concern last week with the progress we have made in meeting those goals over 12 years.
Health information technology (IT) has been touted as a way to promote safety, efficiency, quality and patient-centered care. But these benefits have yet to be realized because there has not been large scale adoption of electronic medical records (EMR) and enabling technology to achieve these goals.

November 28, 2014
12-12-05 - Wal-Mart is making some changes, and it could impact local courts and their bottom line.
Wal-Mart recently changed their hot check policy. They'll no longer rely on local county attorneys' offices or district attorneys' offices to collect on hot check fines. Instead, they'll use a private company.
In Carter, Love and Marshall Counties, the district attorney says Wal-Mart's decision could cost his office anywhere from $75,000 to $100,000 a year because Wal-Mart is their biggest retailer.
Mitch Sperry told us he could see around a dozen layoffs in his office alone, but in Fannin County the justice of the peace handles many bogus check cases. One judge says he's not worried about the policy change.
Judge Joe Dale, Fannin County, Precinct 1, says, "Wal-Mart is just another citizen as far as this court is concerned. They come and bring us their checks in to file them and we process them, and if they file them the law says we can take them and get them processed."
A spokesperson for Wal-Mart says the change in policy was made to streamline their operations. Any business has the right to file with the agency or company of their choice.

DEFINITION of 'Extensible Markup Language - XML'
A flexible markup language for structured electronic documents. XML is based on SGML (standard generalized markup language), an international standard for electronic documents. XML is commonly used by data-exchange services (like blog feeds) to send information between otherwise incompatible systems. Many other languages, such as RSS, are based on XML.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Extensible Markup Language - XML'
Unlike HTML, XML allows users to define their own markup. Using XML, one user could choose to denote a footnote with the tag <footnote>, while another user could opt for <fn>. Using HTML, only one pre-determined tag can be used to denote a specific type of information. XML documents are meant to be easy to read since they contain user-defined tags and since the documents only consist of markup and content. Markup is the text that appears between two pointed brackets (e.g., <footnote>), and content is everything else.

Delirium Trigger Lyrics - Coheed And Cambria
Review The Song (4)
We're now up here alone,Terror on the intercom.
Can someone save us?
Systems malfunction, blast it this damn Machine.
Over and out captain.
Something lurks, creeps on the counter top.
Somewhere behind you!
Parasitic cyst, I can't stand to watch.
It's coming up and out of your chest.
"Remember when we were young?"
Sit up right on the table, a photograph of earth feeding me a way back.
Frightened I tear alone, or maybe not?
The the only one out there.
"hello... hello?" When it rings will you answer?
There- corner tall short stance,
It's You
Come on! Kill me!!
"You made a good friend to me.
But while you were outnumbered and torn,
they made us do things..."
Oh dear god, i don't feel alive!
When you're cut short misery
Will you pray it be the end?
Give a look, surprise wide eyes to me
Then you'll know just what i am
The scars that triggers your fear
Come know me in a different light now,
Come know me as god! . . .
"You made a good friend, to me
But while you were outnumbered and torn
they made us do things... to you..."
"Run sand hourglass. It's my time, will i be worth?
Spin 'round carousel. When your horse isn't screwed in... "
Oh dear god, I don't feel alive...
When you're cut short misery (Raise forth lost cause)
Will you pray it be the end?
Give a look surprise wide eyed to me (Raise forth lost cause)
Then you'll know just what i am (Subtle demise the legitimate cry)
The scare that triggers your fear
Come know me in a different light, now
Come know me as god (Raise forth lost cause!)

Oh man! | Reviewer: TraceurPunk | 5/21/13
This song was one of the first songs I listened to as a little kid. I remember I had just gotten Metroid Prime 2, and this song always reminded me of that game. It gives me the chills now, every single time I hear it. So happy I finally remembered the name of band and song. Now to discover more of their stuff.
Well, ohhjohnny... | Reviewer: WumpaFruit | 4/15/11
I'm glad this is the first Coheed song you've heard. :3 Rumor has it this was the first song Claudio wrote as Coheed & Cambria. (: I love this song very much. It's beautiful. Fun to sing, because high notes are beautiful, especially Claudio's. :3
true true | Reviewer: Cigaros | 10/14/06
I am totally with "oohjonny". This is one of the best song of CoheedandCambria
There is a nice livevideo at --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S18nnIw_h-8
very nice
see you
Delirium Trigger | Reviewer: ohhjohnny | 2/2/06
Delirium Trigger, with Claudio's unique voice, and the bands unpredictable rhythms, along with his incredible build to drama near the end, gives me the chills everytime i listen to it. I believe this is a beautifully construed song, its rise and falls in tempo, along with its eventual crescendo, creates a song that sounds deliciously evil-especially with lyrics like: Something lurks, creeps on the counter top, somewhere behind you, parasitic cyst..." I think this song is underestimated. This is the first song I ever heard of Coheed's and when i heard it, i fell in love with the sounds.
The following area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of Delirium Trigger Lyrics.

text: Biden On Guns: Every Day 'Sandy Hook-Plus' Print article Send a Tip by William Bigelow 12 Feb 2013 post a comment Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that there is so much violence in America that there is "a Sandy Hook-plus" of deaths every day. He claimed that the White House proposals calling for an assault weapons ban and a ban on high-capacity magazines entailed "zero conflict" with the Second Amendment. He also said the Second Amendment was the guarantee of gun rights for "responsible" gun ownership. Biden's comments were apparently prompted by a fatal shooting in Wilmington, Delaware. He said the shooting made clear the "the urgency" for "common sense" restrictions on gun sales. Biden did not clarify what he meant by "responsible" gun ownership or "common sense" restrictions. He also offered no statistics for how many deaths a day equal "Sandy Hook-plus."

Master Tesfatsion is the Star Tribune's digital Vikings writer. He is a 2013 graduate of Arizona State and worked for mlb.com before arriving in Minneapolis. Follow him at @masterstrib.
Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman has made it clear that he is not tied down to selecting a receiver with either of the team's first round picks, selections that will come at Nos. 23 and 25 on April 25. But you can bet Spielman will make sure to have at least one receiver in pocket by the end of the draft's second day and perhaps two or three promising pass-catchers by the time the draft finishes.
So now comes the crucial finishing stretch for Spielman and the Vikings in continuing to arrange their big board, prioritizing players that not only have athletic upside but fit with the franchise's offensive and defensive systems. Oh, and yeah, like in 2012, the Vikings are putting a premium on guys with high character, unselfishness, strong work ethics and a passion for improving.
With that in mind, it was no surprise that receivers coach George Stewart came away from the pro day at Southern Cal on Wednesday praising Trojans receiver Robert Woods.
Woods was an All-American coming out of high school and he cracked the starting lineup at USC from his first game as a true freshman. He's a good route runner, can make catches in traffic and rarely gives up on a play. Yet even with all that Stewart delivered a praise-filled endorsement of Woods for other reasons.
Here's what the Vikings receivers coach told the Los Angeles Times:
"We're a character organization from ownership on down," Stewart said. "I had a chance to visit with [Woods'] mom and dad, and they're character people. Those are the type of people who will turn an organization, character people. That's a premium for us. … We're very interested in guys who can make plays. But character first and foremost is what we're interested in, and [Woods] has that."

Dal Pescatore ratings fell from being in the top 10 to 70 in the World's Best restaurant list???
Oh dear~just read where Dal Pescatore (where we have reservations in June) fell from the top 10 restaurants to 70 whereas Osteria Francescana is rated 5. I don't believe that the chefs have changed at Dal Pescatore. Now I am wondering if I should change my reservations from Dal Pescatore to Osteria Francescana. Have tried to research why such a large drop in ratings. Does anyone have any knowledge of criteria for ratings and are the restaurants listed in top 50 justified?
I have read the reviews from fellow chowhounders and tripadvisor board and hope that they will give their thoughts. I wish we could dine at both restaurants and make a comparison but must choose only one and we realize they have a different type of cuisine.
Thank for your contributions!
Dal Pescatore was No. 38 in 2011; it's still a drop of 32 places, but it's not a drop from the top 10. Osteria Francescana was No. 4 last year. The year-by-year listings are here:
As far as I can tell from reading food blogs and online food magazines by people who know far more about it than I do (one of them votes in the World's Best selection), there are changing trends in what is considered "top" in international haute cuisine, and there are also wheels within wheels, lobbies, politics. In other words, a drop in the ratings does not mean a similar drop in quality. Or a rise a similar rise in qualty: The No. 4 restaurant this year was up 11 places last year and is up another 7 places this year.
Read what you can about the two restaurants and what they have to offer and choose the one whose menu and approach appeal to you more. Neither is likely to disappoint you, if you have a fairly good idea going in of what to expect and not to expect.
re: Octavian
There have been recent reports here on both - use the search to find them - totally different styles. Don't let yourself be led by heavily lobbied lists like this one.
re: jen kalb
First of all you have to realize the list is just another huge marketing ploy, in this case sponsored by Nestle. I would be willing to bet that most of these restaurants serve or will serve Nestle water (of which there are perhaps a hundred around the world... they've got most of them locked up). Then one has to realize that each of the voters has tried only a fraction of the restaurants. Then one has to ask what does it mean to be the "best. What is the "best." Sure, if people want to just go by the numbers then this list is as good as any. But to make the analogy with Parker wine scores, do you want to drink the Parker score or the wine? Lastly, to show what a farce this whole list is I would note the following: Eleven Madison Park at 10; Daniel at 25; egregiously Il Canto in Siena at 46, Cracco at 55 and the worst of all, Blue Hill at Stone Barns at 77.
Dal Pescatore, today, is exactly what it was last year and the year before and the year before. It hasn't changed. As Antonio Santini said yesterday in the Mantova newspaper, the chefs are the same (Nadia and Giovanni), the staff is the same (headed by him), the place hasn't changed and the wine cellar is still great.
IMHO, if you wanted to go to Pescatore before, a list shouldn't prevent you from going now.
re: allende
Thank you for your replies!!!! Will report about our dinner at Dal Pescatore also having dinner Venissa Ristorante Osteria in Venice.
We are staying 2 nights at Antico Corte Pallenvinca, 5 nights in Parma, 3 nights in Bellagio and ending the trip with 2 nights in Milan. We think we have pretty much chosen our restaurants in all areas except for the 2 nights in Milan~more research..
re: plufmud
And where are you eating the two nights at Antico Corte and the five nights in Parma?
re: allende
One night at their restaurant as well as a cooking class next day,
Da Ivan, lunch at Guisti, Trattoria ai Due Paltani, Da Amerigo, Marielli and considering Ristorante Cocchi. Will be staying at Palazzo Rosa Prati in Parma. We have a tentative scheduled tour with Parmagolosa and lunch with the tour to visit Parm farm and then Bals.tasting.
Would love to have any thoughts or other recommendations for our visit. We do read ALL the entries on Chowhound but it also reassuring to have people respond with positve/negative comments or other suggestions about someone's itinerary. When we travel we try to experience as much as possilbe knowing that we may never visit the area again. Of course we also allow for down time and realize that our plans can change when in the area.
Again, thanks to you all!! Didn't mean for this to get so long.
re: plufmud
Generally a very good list. Some of my favorite trattorie: Da Ivan; Giusti; Mariella; Amerigo.
Dal Pescatore. Where are you staying when you go there?
re: allende
We are driving from Antica Corte Pallenvinca.
re: plufmud
Leave plenty of time.
re: plufmud
what a wonderful list! Im looking forward to hearing more about these places. I think you will need to take some walks in between! - and do give a try to the artisanal liqueurs in this region - we really liked the sburlon (quince) at Spigaroli's less formal restaurant.
re: plufmud
Fantastic list plufmud! We had such an amazing tour at lunch at Pallenvinca, and when we left I told my husband that some day we would stay there! You will love due Platani and we had a great dinner at Cocchi. I still kick myself that I didn't try the bolito misto while we were there!
If you find my report, you will see my other recs for Parma - the pizza and aperitivo (if you are looking for something lighter one night).
Plufmud, as you know: ratings are just ratings. Subjective stuff. I ate at Dal Pescatore this past Thursday, and honestly..whatever the folks of San Pellegrino think..I just couldn't care (not meant to be rude, just upfront): it was an amazing meal.
We dined at Dal Pescatore on June 20th and I absolutely agree that it was fabulous!!! We were greeted by Nadia who is so charming. Ater having drinks in the sitting room we were shown the kitchen and were introduced to Nonna. She was preparing saffron risotto which we enjoyed later~delicious. Unbelievable that Nonna is 83 years! The orange souffle was perfection. Everything about the night was magical!!! This was one of the highlights of our trip.

College Football | Mercy Bowl helped a school heal
The Mercy Bowl in 1961 is often forgotten, but it helped raise money for Cal Poly after 16 of its players were killed earlier that season in a plane crash.
The Associated Press
Exactly how high the plane got off the ground is hard to say. No one could really be sure that foggy night in Ohio nearly a half-century ago. Some folks swear the old C-46, a leftover from World War II, never lifted off at all.
Ted Tollner, a quarterback at Cal Poly, was sitting over the left wing, on the side where the engine gave out. "After we hit, it was all a blur," he said.
The Arctic-Pacific charter split in two and caught on fire at Toledo Express Airport on Oct. 29, 1960. It was the first airline crash involving a U.S. sports team. Of the 22 people killed, there were 16 Cal Poly players, a manager and a booster.
The next year, with support from Bob Hope and a blessing from President Kennedy, a game was held at the Los Angeles Coliseum to offset burial costs, pay medical expenses and set up an educational fund for the victims' families and survivors.
They called it the Mercy Bowl.
Almost 50 years since that game, the college postseason is now filled with 34 bowls that make millions of dollars for the schools and conferences that participate. None is held to solely benefit a greater cause.
Today, most fans don't even recall the Mercy Bowl or why it was played.
"It did get lost," said NFL Hall of Fame coach John Madden, who anchored Cal Poly's lines in the late 1950s. "It's like it just went away."
A crowd of more than 33,000 turned out to see Fresno State beat Bowling Green 36-6 that Thanksgiving Day in 1961. Check eBay and it's easy to find ticket stubs — stamped with "Benefit Cal Poly Plane Crash Fund" — and souvenir programs for sale.
Tollner was there as a spectator, still nursing the right ankle smashed in the accident. He went to a life of coaching in the NFL and college, always wondering why he was allowed to survive.
Shortly before the flight, Curtis Hill asked Tollner to switch seats. The gifted receiver became ill on the trip to play at Bowling Green, and figured he'd do better near the front of the plane going back home to San Luis Obispo.
Tollner traded, moving back a few rows. Minutes later the pilot, flying with a license that had been revoked by the Federal Aviation Administration, tried to take off.
"I was pretty much the cutoff," said Tollner, now the quarterbacks coach for the San Francisco 49ers. "About 100 percent of the people sitting in front of me were killed. Curtis was one of them. The people in my row and back mostly survived."
"A lot of things go through your mind when you get an extra bonus of 48 years to live. Why me? Why not them? You don't know why. You think about those things when you've been spared," he said.
Those tied to that day find it puzzling how the details faded so quickly.
Many fans are well aware of air disasters that impacted sports. Knute Rockne, Roberto Clemente and Thurman Munson were killed in plane crashes, the U.S. figure skating team was lost in 1961, as was the Marshall football team in 1970, inspiring the movie "We Are Marshall."
But during this blitz of almost three dozen bowls, chances are the old Astro-Bluebonnet will get mentioned more than a game that raised over a quarter-million dollars for a tragedy.
"You hear 'Mercy Bowl' and it sounds dreadful," said Bernie Casey, a former Bowling Green star who became a Pro Bowl receiver in the NFL. "You think of bowls of being a celebration. We're going to the Whoopee Bowl or Good Times Bowl."
"I don't have a clue why it didn't get more attention," he said. "It should have."
An accomplished athlete, actor and artist, Casey was among the nation's best collegiate receivers in 1960. His Falcons were unbeaten going into the game against overmatched Cal Poly that October.
Bowling Green romped 50-6.
With several hours to spare before their bus to the airport, some Cal Poly players went to Halloween parties at campus sororities. Others hung around the student union. That's where Casey ran into Curtis Hill.
"We were talking about California. It had such a mystique for me, being raised in Ohio," Casey said. "We were talking about the East-West Shrine game. I told him that maybe I'd see him out there."
Already it had been a busy day for the C-46 plane, a military transport. Earlier it carried the Youngstown University team back from a game in Connecticut, then flew to Toledo.
"It was real foggy, real hard to see," Tollner said. "I've heard that some of the guys said, 'Let's give it the ol' college try.' They might've, but I didn't hear that."
There was zero visibility, in fact, the Civil Aeronautics Board later concluded.
The pilot got to make the final call on whether to take off, and Donald Chesher decided to roll with 48 people on board shortly before midnight. According to an FAA timeline, his license had been revoked for several violations. He kept flying, pending an appeal.
This turned out to be his last flight.
The twin-engine plane slammed into the ground on its left side, broke apart and wound up in an orchard. Several passengers were thrown from the crash, strapped to their seats.
"Some of the people on the plane could walk, some couldn't. I couldn't," Tollner said. "The ones that could tried to go back in to help. Finally, some people started shouting that you couldn't go back in, the plane's on fire and is about to blow. It did, soon after that."
Back at Bowling Green, Casey was hanging out with teammates when someone burst in with the horrific news. They ran to their cars and drove to the airport.
To this day, Casey is struck by one image.
"At the terminal, the people that couldn't be saved, their bodies were wrapped in blankets and stacked up. Not disrespectful, but they had nowhere to put them," Casey said. "And they were right under a sign that said 'Get Your Insurance Here.' I'm not sure why I remember that, but I do."
Out west, the initial report said there were no survivors. Tollner's wife heard that while she was playing cards with the wives of other Cal Poly players.
The next day, Madden returned to the Cal Poly campus to console friends and families. He played there in 1957-58 before going to coach at Hancock Junior College. Over time, stories spread that he was on the plane, and that the crash triggered his aversion to flying.
"Neither one is true," he said. "I didn't like getting on planes before that. I got claustrophobic, and it got worse over the years."
Cal Poly canceled its final three games of the season. Shaken by the crash, Bowling Green decided to avoid air travel and instead took a train to its next road game — a 2 ½-day ride to play Texas Western in El Paso.
After the crash, the Arctic-Pacific company lost its certificate and the FAA reviewed its procedure on takeoffs under certain conditions of poor visibility.
Five wives in the Cal Poly family lost their husbands and nine children lost their fathers. Many of the survivors spent months in Toledo hospitals and left with burns and crippling injuries.
By the following spring, a game was in the works. Pulitzer Prize winner Jim Murray of the Los Angeles Times endorsed it in his column:
"On Thanksgiving morning this year in the Coliseum, a 'Mercy Bowl' benefit game will be played to help San Luis Obispo write off its obligations to the tragedy victims, the children they left behind them, and the survivors.
"My feeling is, it is not only their obligation. It is the obligation of all of us interested in athletics. I can think of no better way to give thanks on that day that we are here and healthy, than to contribute to those who are alone with only memories on that day."
Bowling Green was picked to play because of its association with the crash. Fresno State College earned its spot by winning the California Collegiate Athletic Association — among the teams the Bulldogs beat was Cal Poly, which decided to continue its program in 1961 with 10 crash survivors on its team and went 5-3.
A day before the Nov. 23 game, JFK wired a telegram to the president of the Fresno State student body.
"Your efforts to aid survivors and families of victims are most commendable and merit support. Heartiest congratulations to the Mercy Bowl game and best wishes to the participating schools," it said.
While a 26-station radio network broadcast the game and asked for donations, Beau Carter threw two touchdown passes and ran for two scores. Fresno State won with a unique strategy, sending in 11 new players midway through each quarter — rules at the time stated that once a player exited, he couldn't return until the next quarter.
Years afterward, Tollner visited a Fresno State team reunion.
"He told us how much it meant to them," Carter said. "I think it really hit us later, when it was all over. I still live here in the Fresno area, a lot of us do. I still run into people who tell me they were at the game and how much it meant."
Tollner was there, too. At halftime, he helped unveil a memorial plaque to the 1960 Cal Poly team that remains at the Coliseum. He often passed it when he coached at USC.
"There are so many bowls now, I have trouble keeping track of all of them, and I'm in the business. I've been lucky and gotten to coach at a lot of bowl games. Head coach at a Rose Bowl win," he said. "But I don't think any of them were any more meaningful than the Mercy Bowl."
All the proceeds went to the memorial fund, providing $278,000 to those affected. In 2006, Tollner spoke at the dedication of Mustang Memorial Plaza on the Cal Poly campus, honoring those killed.
In 1971, there was a hastily arranged Mercy Bowl II, with Cal State Fullerton beating Fresno State 17-14 in Anaheim to help benefit the children of three Cal State Fullerton assistant coaches and a pilot killed in a plane crash a month earlier.
"You know, it wouldn't be a bad idea to play a game like that again," Madden said. "Hold a bowl game for a cause. There are a lot of good ones. I'd like to see that."

One out of five Americans has untreated cavities, according to a new government report. The new study from the National Center for Health Statistics found about 20% of children had untreated cavities, as well as a quarter of adults.
Experts say budget cuts have eliminated some of the dental funds for people on medicaid, which may be contributing to tooth decay.
However, the researchers say these numbers haven't changed much during the last decade and that even people with dental insurance are looking for ways to cut out-of-pocket costs.
Dentists say the best way to prevent cavities is to brush and floss daily and to see a dentist at least once a year.

Heyo, Im SK. This is my first week running windows 7 and i need a bit of help with a problem I had and eventually solved as an XP user. I have the all too common issue of the cpu running at 100% which slows everything to a menacing halt.

Dear Sevil
I am writing this post to say HOLY MOTHER OF GOD !!!! What were you thinking..... running Win 7 on 1 GB RAM !!! and running 105 processes along with MACFEE !!!!
Wish you all the best !! I have nothin else to say !!
EDIT: and Two antivirus Mcafee and AVG !!!!
EDIT2 : Strike the above thats 3 antivirus... Mcafee ,AVG and AVAST !!!!!!!!!!

1. centaur78 is right. You are starving from lack of RAM - just get more RAM, as much as your mobo can stand. Check with the system scanner in this link what is possible and how much it costs: RAM Memory Upgrade: Dell, Mac, Apple, HP, Compaq. USB drives, SSD at Crucial.com
2. Your task manager snip is pretty useless because a) you did not 'Show processes from all users' and b) you did not prioritize the picture by CPU time so that the high usage processes show on top.
3. And yes - you have too many processes. Disable all startup programs - except the McAfee protection modules
4. Mid term you may want to get rid of McAfee and use MSE instead. But make sure you uninstall McAfee with the MPCR.exe - else you'll get a problem.
5. At this moment I think you are dying from page thrashing (because of the lack of RAM). Check that in Resource Monitor > Memory tab > the graph on the bottom right.

Well he is running 3 antivirus at the same time .... AVG,Mcafee and Avast... not sure why....
and well look at what acer cramped into the netbook it maynot be his model but its on the same series...
The max memory is 2 GB

lol sorry for the fail. but i totally got this pc from someone else. What would be better? switching OS? or upgrading?
and there are no other users. and i thought i did put cpu in descending? need another photo?
|My System Specs
|15 Aug 2012
1. you have to press the button 'Show processes from other users' - the 'other users' are system functions.
2. only when the high CPU usage processes are listed on the top, we can see anything.
3. If you have more than 1 AV program installed and active, you are in deep trouble
4. 1GB of RAM is just not going to hack it. If you don't want to upgrade the hardware, run Linux. That runs well in 1GB.
|My System Specs
|15 Aug 2012
Nope...i dont think i can take anymore photo...
My dear friend sevil... i cant bear to see the poor netbook die of stroke
So you have two options.....
1. upgrade to 2 GB and downgrade to Win XP and use it for light workload
2. or stick to what you have and use Linux .
|My System Specs

ok..this linux may be my only option at the moment. lol im sorry.. this entire laptop seems to be a fail.. i just want to run emulators and minor pc games like crossfire

By Todd Richmond Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. — A rural Wisconsin man apparently enraged by Bristol Palin's "Dancing with the Stars" routine blasted his television with a shotgun, leading to an all-night standoff with a SWAT team, investigators said.
Steven Cowan, 67, was arrested Tuesday morning after officers coaxed him out of his house in Vermont, a farming community near Madison. Cowan, who is accused of threatening his wife with the gun after destroying the television, appeared in a Madison courtroom Wednesday on a charge of second-degree reckless endangerment. His bail was set at $1,500.
By Lt. Dan Marcou
"Wisc. man accused of shooting TV over Palin Dance." The article that followed this headline this morning was written by the same type of reporters who write headlines like, "Cops Kill Youth," and "Police Pursuit Over Faulty Tail Light Kills Motorist." Readers have to research the case on their own in order to find out that the youth was a 17-year-old murder suspect who brought a loaded Beretta to bear on a police officer. Those same readers have to do some digging to discover that the fleeing motorist was a wanted career criminal who was looking forward to a lengthy prison sentence if captured. There are many journalists in the national media who have more empathy for criminals than victims. Over the years, I've watched journalists act as apologists for criminals, while serving as antagonists of the police — or anyone else against whom they have a biased view. This article, from Associated Press, shows that journalists are willing to minimize the actions of a dangerous and abusive husband to embarrass the young daughter of Sarah Palin. For the facts about what happened in this matter, we have to turn to the Dane County Sheriff's Department press release.
Continue reading Wisc. SWAT resolves standoff with armed man
Cowan's attorney at the hearing, Jonas Bednarek, declined to comment.
Cowan's wife, Janice Cowan, told investigators that her husband suffers from bipolar disorder and had threatened her life in the past.
According to court documents, Janice Cowan said her husband came home Monday from the bar and had a beer with dinner before they settled down to watch "Dancing with the Stars."
When Palin, the 20-year-old daughter of tea party favorite Sarah Palin, began her routine, Cowan jumped up and began swearing, saying something like "The (expletive) politics." His wife said he was upset that a political figure's daughter was dancing on TV even though he felt she didn't have talent.
Janice Cowan told investigators her husband left the living room and reappeared 20 minutes later with his shotgun, "raging" with his face bright red, and blasted the TV. She said he then pointed the gun at her and told her to go fetch his pistols, and threatened to kill himself if she brought anyone back. According to the criminal complaint, Steven Cowan's daughter recently took away his handguns for safekeeping. It did not elaborate.
"He scared the bejebees out of me," she told detectives.
Janice Cowan fled the home and went to an attorney's office, where she phoned police.
She told officers that about 15 years ago her husband had threatened her with a machete when he couldn't find some ammunition and has threatened to shoot one of their cows.
She added he was under stress because of financial reasons, saying a doctor helping him with his mental health problems had suggested he temporarily turn over control of properties he rents out to the family's attorney. Calls on Wednesday to a number listed as the Cowans' could not be connected.
The Internet has been abuzz in recent days about how Bristol Palin, who has consistently landed at the bottom of the judges' leaderboard, has been able to remain on the ABC show. Some have suggested that voters — particularly supporters of her mother — have been voting in blocs and manipulating the system.
Both Palins have denied any organized vote-getting tactics. Bristol Palin says voters support her despite lackluster performances because she started the show with no dancing experience.

Taking a Moment for Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer that is primarily caused by asbestos exposure. To those who have never heard of the disease or have never known someone affected by it, mesothelioma may seem more like a foreign word than a real health danger. To help spread awareness about this disease, take a moment to read the key facts about mesothelioma:

It's one of the most popular pain medicines in the U.S. But every year, 150 Americans die from accidentally taking too much acetaminophen, the drug found in Tylenol.
The drug is linked to more deaths than any other over-the-counter pain reliever.
Here's how to keep your family safe from any costly side effects.
When you're in pain, they make it stop-but how many pills do you pop for relief? Surveys show a quarter of Americans routinely takes more over-the-counter pain pills than they should.
"We're a medicine-taking culture. We, we, reach for a pill for all of our medical problems," says Alexander Kuo, MD, a Gastroenterologist at UC San Diego Health System.
But Doctor Alexander Kuo says the popular drug acetaminophen-found in Tylenol, can be dangerous in high doses. It's the nation's leading cause of acute liver failure.
"The problem is when people abuse it, when they take more than is healthy for them," says Dr. Kuo.
For healthy people, the standard dose is no more than 4,000 milligrams in a 24-hour period.
But if you have chronic liver disease, such as cirrhosis, it's less than 2,000 milligrams. People who drink alcohol should also be cautious since alcohol combined with acetaminophen can lower the threshold for liver damage.
The tricky part-acetaminophen is found in other meds like Nyquil, Excedrin, Sudafed, Robitussin, and Benadryl. So, you might be doubling your dose without knowing it.
"Suddenly, they've gone from a safe amount of Tylenol to an unsafe amount," explains Dr. Kuo.
Acetaminophen overdose sends as many as 78,000 Americans to the ER every year. But toxicologist Richard Clark says pain meds like ibuprofen and aspirin also carry risks.
"If you took the maximum daily dose of ibuprofen for a week or two, 30-percent of everybody is going to have microscopic hemorrhages of their stomach," says Dr. Richard Clark, MD, a Toxicologist at UC San Diego Health System.
The bottom line is, only take them when you need them and always follow dosing instructions.
"Limited use is perfectly safe," says Dr. Kuo.
Countries like Great Britain, Switzerland, and New Zealand have limited how much acetaminophen people can buy at one time or require it to be sold only by pharmacies.
Tylenol Troubles
TYLENOL PRODUCTS: Americans consume Tylenol in hopes to receive temporary pain relief, but sometimes we consume more than we are supposed to. Common uses for Tylenol include toothaches, headaches, osteoarthritis, menstrual cramps, cold/flu aches, and it is used as a fever reducer. Tylenol also offers pain relief to children and it is FDA-tested and safe for their little bodies. Tylenol has several types of pain relievers that come in liquid syrup and pill forms that cater to the person's preference. All medication is taken orally and should be taken as soon as symptoms begin to occur. (Source: http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-7076-Tylenol+Oral.aspx
ACETAMINOPHEN: Acetaminophen is the primary reason why we begin to feel less pain after consumption. Acetaminophen is found in many other over-the-counter and prescription drugs. This makes it easy for consumers to take too much at one time and exceed the recommended dosage without realizing it. This active ingredient is safe to take, but it can be harmful if too much is taken at once. The most common injury from taking too much acetaminophen is liver damage or failure. (Source: http://getreliefresponsibly.com/acetaminophen)
THE TYLENOL BAN: The cause of Tylenol abuse has led some countries to regulate the use. Regulations have developed in New Zealand, Great Britain, and Switzerland to monitor the purchase of Tylenol. Consumers in these countries are limited to the purchase of one Tylenol product at a time and it is only sold in pharmacies. The U.S. has also thought to take a stand against acetaminophen abuse. However, no limits have been set about how much may be purchased at once, there are safety questions and recommended daily dosages placed on the labels of all Tylenol products.
