LOTL The Comfort Zone Presents Natalie 'The Floacist' Stewart
Natalie 'The Floacist' Stewart DEBUTS HER NEW ALBUM THE Rise of the Phoenix Mermaid
The Floacist's third album 'RISE of the Phoenix Mermaid is due for release on March 18th 2014. RISE of the Phoenix Mermaid has been inspired, as always, by my personal walk and journey through the pages of the day to day parable that is my life!
RISE is a compilation of a few songs that I wrote in 2006/7, at the point of the end of Floetry, that I didn't have the opportunity to share but have now reworked and finally am delighted to present to my audience, as well as a few completely new songs that I manifested in 2013, and I have also converted some of my favorite spoken word pieces into the Floetic ethos of song structure.
The creation of this album has been about reflection, empowerment, self love, acceptance, submission, the Divine Feminine and the completion concept of endings leading to new beginnings.
For all of the people who have been along for the journey of Floetry and eventually my solo artist walk, the message is about perseverance and alignment. The message is about being prepared for one's own opportunities. The message is about the ability to rise from the abyss of isolation, journeying upwards always, out of the ashes from the purification of the fires of change. The Manifestation

Creative Mastermind of Seven-Time Grammy Nominated Neo-Soul Sensation Floetry Enlists Help From Friends Musiq Soulchild, Raheem DeVaughn, MC Lyte, Lalah Hathaway & Others
"My approach to the manifestation of Floetic Soul, has simply been to get out of the way and go beyond my comfort zone, making sure to challenge any limitations that I may have placed on myself over time," shares Natalie 'The Floacist' Stewart. The strikingly beautiful, slam-champion poet and singer took the music world by storm in 2002 when she graced the R&B scene with her brainchild Floetry. The Gold-selling duo's unique elixir of sensual soul and poetic justice garnered seven Grammy nominations and created such smash hits as "Floetic," "Say Yes" and "Getting Late."
Floetic Soul is a continuation and further exploration of 'The Floacist's' genius musical mind. "Floetic Soul was inspired by the understanding that my original Floetic concept of `poetic delivery with musical intent' had not come to an end, even though my group, Floetry, had completed its cycle. I was left with the realization that I still had music in my mind, my heart and my soul!"
During the past couple of years, Floetry fans have been wondering when 'The Floacist' would musically emerge again. The wait is over and Floetic Soul proves that it was worth the wait.
Listen in as she speaks on her journey so far and the making of her "Floetic Soul".

One-dish comfort food. Made in multiple dishes.
Does that defeat the purpose?
I don't know, but this is really good.
What's even better is using parsnips for half of the potato mixture. And adding 2 cups cooked kidney beans to the filling. Because making the same thing twice isn't really my beat.
Mushroom-Wild Rice Cottage Pie
Commonly known as Shepherd's Pie, this twist on a cottage pie includes rich mushroom and flavourful, nutty wild rice. Add tempeh, kidney beans, or crumbled tofu after the rice cooks, if desired. This recipe is not assembled in a single dish, but worth the extra effort.
Serves 4 to 6
For the potatoes:
Salted water, to cook potatoes
6 to 8 medium yellow-flesh potatoes, peeled and chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
1/2 cup mushroom broth (below)
For the filling:
1 .5oz/14g package dried porcini mushrooms
5 cups boiling water
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 pounds (680g) cremini mushrooms, chopped
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
3 celery stalks, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 turnips (not rutabaga), peeled and finely chopped
2 large carrots, peeled and finely chopped
2 tablespoons dried thyme leaves
2 teaspoons ground sage
1 cup wild rice
3 tablespoons roasted cashew butter
2 tablespoons tomato paste
For the potatoes, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes. Cook until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the dried mushrooms in a large bowl. Cover with boiling water and let stand 30 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven. Add the onion, mushrooms, celery, carrots, and turnips. Cook until softened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme and sage, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes longer.
Strain the mushroom liquid into the pot with the vegetables, reserving 1/2 cup. Rinse the mushrooms and finely chop, adding them to the pot. Add the rice. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and let cook 40 minutes. Stir in cashew butter and tomato paste. Let cook an additional 10 minutes, until thickened.
Meanwhile, drain the potatoes. Add the olive oil and reserved broth. Mash well. Stir in the chives and season with salt and pepper to taste. Preheat the oven to 375F.
Once the mixture on the stove top is finished, carefully pour it into a 9×13 casserole dish. Spread with the potatoes. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the potatoes start to brown and become crispy. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

In Defence of Marriage
We believe that marriage is instituted by God so that a man and a woman may be joined together in holy matrimony. We believe that a partnership between two people of the same sex cannot be defined as a marriage or the relationship blessed as if it were holy matrimony.

Project in Detail
John Madejski Academy
Reading, United Kingdom
Wilkinson Eyre Architects, London, United Kingdom
World Architecture Festival 2008 - Shortlisted
Entrance to agora
James Brittain
This academy is the first of the Department for Education & Skills (DfES) 'Schools for the Future' exemplars (published in 2003) to be built in the UK. The innovative 'kit of parts' design solution provides a stimulating and attractive educational environment suited to new learning methodologies and a new focus for secondary education in one of the 20% most deprived wards in the country.
Architectural Solution
Based on the DfES exemplar design, the John Madejski Academy is composed from a 'kit of parts', a completely new approach to school building which allows a range of management structures to be accommodated. The scale of the building is broken down to create a series of 'schools within a school' - each accommodating up to 300 students – supporting the fragile learner and offering cross-curriculum accommodation. Located south of Reading city centre within a low-rise, low-density suburban environment, the academy is sponsored by John Madejski of Reading Football Club and has a specialism in sport.
Two building types form the basis of the design: distinctive wedge-shaped learning clusters (containing the main teaching areas) and more orthogonal central facilities spaces (containing assembly, sport, dining and office areas), all linked by a covered street or 'agora'. At Reading, four learning clusters are arranged along two sides of a curving agora, with an assembly block to the western end and dining block at the other. Beyond the dining block and overlooking a large multi-use games area is a sport block, which has been recently completed as part of the second phase of construction. The plan form of each two-storey cluster has two linear runs of classrooms on each floor, to either side of a double-height central area which is used for ICT and learning resources and accessed directly from the agora. The runs of 3 x 60m2 classrooms can be easily adapted to provide other desirable room sizes (90m2 or 120m2), therefore offering long-term flexibility. At John Madejski Academy, each cluster represents a different academic subject area, with the internal spaces arranged in a way suited to the disciplines taught. Within every cluster a staff work base is strategically positioned to provide effective passive supervision of the agora and resource spaces, with WCs and lift located nearby. Rooms with specific servicing requirements, such as science labs, design & technology and art rooms are generally located on the ground floor with generic classrooms above. The intimate character of each learning cluster has particular benefit for new students in their first year at the academy, removing some of the anonymity and daunting scale of many traditional school buildings.
The fluid agora space provides a striking central focus for the school, bringing light into the heart of the building. Crossed by bridges at first floor level, it is a place for students to meet and mix and is lined by 'shop windows' allowing glimpses of the academic activities of each learning cluster. The agora is a true community space, and has been used by the school and other groups for a number of performances and gatherings – including the official opening of the school by ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair in December 2007. Connections between the agora and the external landscape are deliberately blurred, providing strong connections between classroom and sports field to emphasise the academy's specialism, and also offers considerable potential for outdoor learning
Materials/Method of Construction
The development was carried out in two phases to minimise disruption to students and staff, the first phase including the four learning clusters and agora space. Practical, durable cladding treatments to the central facilities buildings and the agora façades of the learning clusters allow them to be viewed as a single composition of robust pre-cast concrete panels, glazing and cast glass. The proprietary aluminium stick system to the external façades of the learning clusters incorporates a 'sonavent' extrusion – an acoustic labyrinth allowing ventilation at low level across the internal radiator without external noise. The combination of coloured anodised aluminium and glass panels creates a visually striking façade that also serves to control solar gain. The agora canopy is made of single-foil ETFE membranes that span between a series of steel trusses and cables. These are supported entirely from the surrounding buildings to give a column-free heart to the academy. Blue rubber-crumb flooring to the agora space was designed with an abstract graphic, and has a sound-deadening function.
The design team worked innovatively to ensure good environmental performance, allowing natural ventilation to work without loss of acoustic control (in accordance with the new BB93 requirements). The learning clusters contain tall spaces (3.3m clear in classrooms) and rooftop ventilators directly linked to each classroom to allow good ventilation without noise transfer. The approach was to retain the sustainability features of the original exemplar design, principally this natural ventilation strategy, although for reasons of cost solar water heating and wood fired boilers could not be adopted. However, the building has been designed to allow for their incorporation in the future, and achieved a BREAAM rating of 'Very Good'. Wider issues considered included cycling facilities, recyclable waste storage, low embodied energy in construction, community training, access and facilities.
The project is significant as the first of the DfES exemplar schools to be built, and for its demonstration of the principles of design excellence developed as part of the initiative. The project establishes a benchmark for high quality school design and pushes forward the boundaries of innovation in encouraging the industry to develop new ways of delivering buildings for education. Experience gained on the project has contributed to a 'virtuous' circle of improvement in delivery standards – specifically using this kit of parts. In Bristol, for example, the design team have again employed the learning cluster on a number of new schools under the local council's Building Schools for the Future (BSF) project, with considerable time and budget savings as standardised components are reapplied.

Honeycomb has always been one of my favorite chocolate experiences. I've even spent a lot of money to purchase Crunchy Bars from the U.K. in the past. No more. These Molasses Puffs tasted just as good, if not better, and I didn't have to buy imported chocolate to enjoy this favorite treat.

Review by Ellen F. from West Chester, Ohio Jun 17, 2011
This is good, old fashioned candy. I like the flavor and the texture of the puff but some pieces were rather big and more than bite-size. All in all, I'm enjoying it. Came packaged very well with plenty of cold packs to keep the candy from melting in summer weather. I appreciated that as the shipping prices were PER BOX which made my order price soar with 3 item...

This is absolutely wonderful chocolate. The milk chocolate layer is think, dense and vey smooth; the honeycomb inside is crisp and light. Much, much better than the Cadbury bars. The individual pieces are good-sized, about 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches. One piece makes a perfect treat.

ITT Tech Warrensville nursing program
- 0Jun 5, '11 by futureNurse224Does anybody know anything about this program? I know it is a very new program. I don't even think they had their first class yet. But any information would be appreciated. Thanks
- 0Jun 24, '11 by futureNurse224I wanted to know about the cost of the program. Is it expensive? Have you started taking classes yet? Are they organized? I know this is the first year of the program and that make me kind of nervous. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
- 0Jun 24, '11 by sedmaidenIt is quite expensive, but it does seem that things are pretty well organized since this is the first class at the Strongsville location. I am sure there are going to be a few glitches here and there, but so far so good. I have only attended 1 class so far, late start, but it has been fun. This particular campus is $493 per credit.
So far what i have seen of things, I love it! Very one on one attention since our class size is 9 people. If you need any more information feel free to ask. For me my tuition statement runs from 06/11-03/12 and it is $20,127 for that time frame. I am not due to graduate until 08/13. Anything else i can help with feel free to ask.
- 0Jun 30, '11 by Lee J AIf you are worried about cost, the community colleges in this area are 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of this depending on how many prereq's you may need. I checked into Bryant and Stratton and it is $40,000 for the 2 year program. I'm not sure how they can charge as much as a university but they do.
- 0Jul 1, '11 by OH_kateThey can charge that much because they are not state funded. I taught at a 2 year school and had mixed feelings about what students were actually getting for their tuition money. There are so many advantages to attending a larger school- mainly more resources!
I definitely worry about how ITT Tech and other ADN programs are perceived on the "hiring" end... I keep hearing mixed responses.. Many people alluding to the fact that all ADN degrees may soon be outdated and that a BSN will soon be required, therefore all ADN programs hold the same value..
- 0Jul 1, '11 by sedmaidenAs far as I know you would need to just see which credits transfer over. My advice is to contact the recruiter for the nursing program and he will be able to give you more information regarding the transfer of credits. I know that they do accept transfer credits, but I am not familiar with how that will affect your progression in the program. If you want the information for the recruiter feel free to send me a PM.

The Main Lodge Interior 1950's
I got to stay at the main lodge with the owner while my family stayed in one of the cabins (that didn't have enough beds:). So one night set up my Bronica on a tripod along with two tungsten flood lights to brighten the dark interior. Even though the Ektachrome EPT 160t film expired in 1999 the slides came out wonderfully. Just a little lacking in the blacks (easily corrected in CS5). The owner described to my how ever little knick knack has a story behind it and that much of the decor hasn't changed since the 1960s ! What a wonderful place full of history.This photo was shot on film. Taken by marcus_loves_film with a Bronica SQ-Ai loaded with Kodak Ektachrome 160T EPT film in Woodruff, United States. These tags describe this photo: expired film, e-6, antiques, interior, tungsten, reversal process, expired 1999, 50mm, 80mm, trinkets, books, lamp, historical, and museum. Date: 2012-08-02.

In this interview (February 2, 2009) with Jeff Crouere at Ringside Politics, we covered the benefits and costs—and especially the unintended consequences—of the government's fiscal policy, also known as "stimulus." There are ways that the government can raise money: taxes, borrowing, and by essentially printing the money. Whenever the government implements a stimulus plan, the money must come from somewhere or rather from some people. In What Is Seen and What Is Not Seen by Frederic Bastiat, he pointed out that whenever the government spends money to create something, we tend to see only that which was made; however, we forget about the unseen, which is what could have been made—had people not been taxed in the first place. If the money is borrowed, it must eventually be repaid (guess by whom?), and if the money is created, then we incur the consequences of inflation and a devalued currency—to name a few. If stimulus spending is viewed from the perspective of the whole United States, then we have to ask, "when you take money from people and give it to other people, then how do you benefit both of them?"

New York, Dec 6 (ANI): Julie Andrews, whose famous voice has been irrevocably damaged by a botched throat operation, has said that she has rediscovered her voice in her books and in directing theater.
Her latest children's book, 'Little Bo in London: The Ultimate Adventure of Bonnie Boadicea' has just been released by Harper Collins, the Huffington Post reported.
It's the fourth and final book in the series about a possibly magical ship's cat that travels the world with the man who rescued her.
It's the 27th book she's co-written with her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton.
She's also directing a musical theater adaptation of another of her books, 'The Great American Mousical.'
The show, about a troop of acting mice living beneath the floors of a famous Broadway theater, is being performed at the Goodspeed Theatre in Connecticut through Sunday.
Andrews thinks it "would do very well on Broadway," where she says she would like to direct and produce.
Andrews said that she feels fortunate that she no longer can sing because it pushed her to find a "different way" of using her voice.
Paraphrasing a line from her 'Sound of Music' character Maria von Trapp, Andrews noted that "When one door closes another window opens." (ANI)

It was 10 years ago that Colorado filmmaker Larry Cappetto first came to the East Valley to interview combat veterans for his series of World War II documentaries.
Now he's ready to check back in with some of those he spoke with during his first go-round — those that are still around, at least.
"I know there are a lot of veterans out there, who for the most part, it's the first and last time I'll see them," said Cappetto, the filmmaker behind the "Lest They be Forgotten" documentary series.
Cappatto is planning a return trip to the Valley and said he hopes some of the veterans he interviewed will be available for a follow up interview. He started the process a decade ago wondering how he could help preserve their stories before they all disappeared.
"It overwhelmed me to think that so many veterans will die every day," he said. "In 10 years, who's going to tell the story first hand?
"I've always been fascinated with time and time travel," he added. "It's like a doorway opens to the past."
When he first began his project in 2003, Cappetto couldn't find many veterans in Colorado to film. With warmer winter weather and a plethora of retirement communities, Cappetto traveled to the Phoenix area after appearing in a column in the East Valley Tribune about the search for stories.
"All these communities, I went all over," he recalled. "I would start the day on one side of the Valley and end up on the other."
Even now, the stories he has heard touch him personally.
"I remember going into every single home, I can close my eyes and remember," he said. "My heart is full as I talk. A week doesn't go by that I don't get an email from a widow (of a former interviewee)."
For many of the vets he talked to, their interview was the first time they'd spoken about their service, Cappetto said. For many, these stories would never had been told otherwise
Over time, Cappetto has begun interviewing soldiers from other American conflicts — Korean, Vietnam, and all the way up to modern conflicts, he said.
Telling the stories behind WWII is more than preserving oral history for Cappetto. In addition to the 13 volumes of Lest They be Forgotten, Cappetto also speaks at elementary, middle and high schools about the importance of our nation's veterans and the freedom they've defended.
"Freedom is never free — freedom is earned," Cappetto said. "A lot of blood was shed on foreign soil for our freedom."
During a speaking engagement, Cappetto said he always brings a veteran to share his first-hand account and meet the students, he said.
"They greet the vets, shake hands, hug and thank them for their service," he said. "When you see the tears in the eyes of a teenager, you know you've touched them, that you've snapped them into a reality for an hour."
For more information about Cappetto's work, visit www.veteranshistory.org. Local veterans open to being interviewed for Cappetto's documentaries, or schools wishing to have him speak reach him at email@example.com.

Planning for Color Harmony in Your New Kitchen
Last updated 2 years ago
A kitchen renovation is a great idea! It will brighten up your house and give you a template for changing your home's overall décor. If you are wondering what colors to choose for your kitchen, you've got a few great options to consider.
You can't go wrong with neutral tones. They go well with modern kitchen appliances, such as stainless steel refrigerators, and granite countertops. If you want your kitchen to feel modern, you should consider choosing neutral tones. You can also use neutrals with brightly colored curtains or other accessories for a dash of color to liven up the space.
Yellow is always a great choice for kitchens. It's bright and sunny, making the room feel welcoming and fun. Use a sunflower yellow with white trim for an uplifting look. It's important to make sure you get a lot of natural light or that you use natural-looking overhead lighting to set off this color scheme.
Greens go wonderfully with mahogany cabinets and moldings. Take inspiration from the forest with mossy and olive greens and subtle shades of taupe. Light greens influenced by grays look great with this scheme.
Pale blue tones can fit in with just about any décor style, from the traditional Old World to the modern and sleek. Give your kitchen a breezy, open feel with sky blue walls and cream-colored trim. For an uplifting feel, paint your kitchen ceiling blue; looking up will be like looking at the clear sky.
If you're looking for a quality home renovator in New York City, look no further than Berceli Renovations. We renovate kitchens and bathrooms, and can also install beautiful new flooring! We take pride in our skills and customer service. Please give us a call at (866) 672-3714.

How to Deliver a Good Sales Pitch
Let's face it, you might be the brightest individual with the best idea or product to sell but when it comes to selling and pitching prospects, it can be quite a challenge. Where do you start, how do you approach the prospect and what is the first thing you say? Let's take a look at how you can confidently make a sales pitch and eliminate the common errors.
1Prepare. If you find yourself stammering or beating around the bush in your sales pitch then it means you are ill prepared for your task.Ad
2Research. Preparation begins from researching about your prospective client, finding out what they like, the time they are available, the way they like to be approached and what they do not like! Going in blindly into a sales call or approaching a prospect with no clue about who they are is a time-wasting risk which often leads to nothing but embarrassment!
3Know your product. Knowledge about your product and the benefits that it gives to the customer will give you full confidence and show that you really know what you are talking about. It will help you handle objections effectively and not let the sale just slip away. Ever felt like you had almost closed the deal and then the prospect just changed his mind at the last minute and the sale was gone? This can easily be avoided by handling objections very well and reassuring the prospect with solid facts but you cannot do this when you are totally clueless about your own services or products.
4Set your objectives. Be it cold calling or showing up for a re-arranged meeting or head hunting for new clients outdoors, It is all pointless if you have not set your objectives for that particular activity. If it is a sales call, set the time you would like to spend on the call, who exactly you would like to speak to, why them in particular, what you have to offer and your desired outcome. Your desired outcome could be closing the deal over the phone, arranging for a meeting, getting an email address... whatever it may be, you must write it down and check whether you achieved your objective after the call.
5Greet the prospective client in the right way. Greeting the client sounds like a simple task. Many people think that all you need to say is, "Good Morning Ma'am/Sir." Unfortunately, this is not the best way to go about it.
- Starting with submissive greetings using words like Sir and Ma'am might initially sound respectful but in actual fact, using such words puts you under the prospect's feet. It gives the impression that you are begging and opens up a good platform for the prospect to object like the Sir and Ma'am that you have made them out to be.
- Rather than this, it is better to greet a prospect by their name and title. Simply "Good-morning Mrs X or Mr X." It makes things so much simpler. Using a greeting like this instead of a more formal or submissive tone will help to avoid getting people's guards up.
6Get to the point. It is good to create a casual conversation but overdoing it could offend the prospect. Saying things like "You look pretty today" or "I like your office" is okay but it doesn't have to be overdone or done in an obviously inappropriate situation. But how do you know whether the prospect will take your casual comments well or not?- You don't! The best thing is to be professional and on target, don't beat around the bush.
7Make a two way conversation not a lecture! Nervous sales people often want to make their sales pitch and just run away as soon as possible. They often get caught in talking for ages and then asking the killer question "Are you interested?"
- Looking at it from the customer's point of view, the impression you give would be that you really don't care about what the customer needs and all you want is your own selfish gain.
- Consulting with the customer and asking questions about their interests and their past experience with similar products creates a consultative dialogue which will get you the "Yes" you are looking for.
8Close the deal. After pitching and consulting with the customer to find out their needs and interests, the final crucial step is to close the deal. A good way to do this is to run through the benefits of what you are selling and the solution it will provide for the needs the customer said he has.
- For example if you are selling advertisement you could end your pitch with something like, "As you said Mr X, your company is looking for more brand awareness and new clients. Our marketing solutions will provide you with the brand awareness you are looking for. If you could allow me, I can run you through the procedure of advertising through us..."
- This is a simple, indirect way of asking "Are you interested?"
We could really use your help!
Adobe Photoshop?
raising children?
- Make eye contact. Looking your audience in the eye is more engaging.
- Don't mutter. Clarity is important.
- Glance around the room frequently to make everyone feel a part.

Apply for Certification
Application Process
Step 1: Submit the online application
- This is a short application that notifies Alliance staff that your organization is interested in becoming certified.
Step 2: Submit the Compliance Report
Please use the template provided to submit your Compliance Report. Provide as much information as you feel necessary to demonstrate Code compliance.
Required information includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Benchmarking data: The Alliance requires applicants to provide the number of health professionals in your recruitment pipeline. This information provides a frame of reference for evaluating your full participation in the Alliance Survey Monitoring Program.
- Implementation plan: The Alliance requires a roadmap that details how your organization will implement business practices contained in the Code.
- References: The Alliance requires a minimum of two references, preferably recent institutional clients.
We encourage applicants to contact Alliance Staff with questions.
Step 3: Schedule an interview
- After your organization has submitted the completed Compliance Report the Alliance will review your submission and schedule an interview.
- All interview questions are provided to your organization in advance and your responses are completely confidential. The Alliance never reveals any proprietary information disclosed during the application process.
The interview serves two purposes:
◦ To provide an opportunity for the Alliance to clarify, if necessary, how your organization integrates Code
provisions operationally; and
◦ To introduce your organization to the basic process and functionality of the Alliance monitoring process.
Step 4: Demonstrate compliance with the Alliance Survey Monitoring Program
Compliance is demonstrated by ensuring that 100% of health professionals in the recruitment pipeline are registered for the survey. Before certification is granted you are required to:
- Send a standardized email, provided by and copied to the Alliance, notifying all health professionals in your recruitment pipeline that you have applied for Alliance certification.
- The Alliance utilizes this email to register health professionals for the survey and to document your full participation in the Monitoring Program.
Step 5: Submit Certified Ethical Recruiter (CER) Agreement
After completing the interview, your organization is required to submit a signed and notarized subscriber agreement. The subscriber agreement outlines:
- The Alliance Survey Monitoring Program;
- The required steps to remain certified; and
- Information on Alliance mediation and remediation processes.
Step 6: Certification
Following the completion of Steps 1 through 5, your organization is certified as an ethical recruiter by the Alliance and is both listed on the Alliance Web site and provided access to the Alliance Seal for use on promotional materials.
If an applicant is not accepted as a Certified Subscriber after completing the application process, the organization may reapply after a six-month waiting period.
Certification Fees
The Alliance Board developed a fee schedule based on 1) number of hospital beds in the case of employers and 2) revenue in the case of recruitment and staffing companies. CERs are required to submit certification fees on an annual basis

A multitude of settings and socioeconomic backgrounds are presented, from urban life to country life, from upper-class to peasant-class, to paint a full portrait of the different kinds of existence of people of this culture. Recipes, profiles of actual individuals, and over 40 illustrations help bring the period to life. Learn what they ate, what their homes were like, how they spent their leisure time, what their work was like, and much more. Modern readers will be surprised to find fundamental similarities between our lives today and the lives of these people living over 500 years ago, as well as to discover that many of the perceptions they may have of this time period are inaccurate.

The Foundation for Managed Care Pharmacy is all grown up. The nonprofit is flourishing under its executive director, Cindy Pigg (right), who took the reigns back in 2005 after handling pharmaceutical contracting for Cigna for 17 years. She just rang me to talk about her work to retool the organization to do the research that's desperately needed in the managed care industry—like understanding the effects of prior authorization on treatment.
The Foundation is also fostering an interesting dialog on performance-based pricing. (It's the topic of FMCP's April 15th meeting in San Francisco; click here for more information.) Pricing by value looks like it's gaining steam, particularly with CMS' coverage with evidence development and the money-back guarantee Janssen-Cilag's offered to UK's NICE for the cancer treatment Velcade last year.
On the pharma side, the concept of value-based pricing is tricky because, to be profitable, it very much has to do with understanding how to leverage volume—something Big Pharma doesn't have much experience with. Pharm Exec is running a thought-provoking piece on the topic by Thomas Nagle from The Monitor Group in our April issue. (Stay tuned.)

Edward Craggs-Eliot, 1st Baron Eliot
Edward Craggs-Eliot, 1st Baron Eliot (London, 8 July 1727 – 17 February 1804, Port Eliot, Cornwall) was born to Richard Eliot (c.1694 – 19 November 1748) and Harriot Craggs (c.1704 – January 1769), the illegitimate daughter of the Privy Counsellor and Secretary of State, James Craggs (9 April 1686 – 2 March 1721) and Hester Santlow, the noted actress. In 1742, he matriculated at St Mary Hall, Oxford but did not graduate. During 1747–1748, he travelled in Continental Europe, principally the Dutch Republic, Germany and Switzerland. On 19 November 1748 he succeeded his father. From 1748–1768 he was Member of Parliament for St Germans, Cornwall, the place of his family estate Port Eliot. In succession, he became Member of Parliament (MP) for Liskeard (1768–1774), for St Germans (1774–1775), and for Cornwall (1775–1784). In 1751, Edward was appointed Receiver General of the Duchy of Cornwall. From 1760 until 1776, Edward was one of the eight Commissioners of Trade and Plantations, and in 1775 he again became Receiver General of the Duchy. However, in 1776 he notably voted against the employment of Hessian Troops, and resigned from the Board of Trade and Plantations, and from the  ( Wikipedia article )

Profile: Loreen Walks 1,000 Miles Around Lake Michigan -- Join Her for the Final 10 Miles!
by crandell | 08/19/2009
Chicagoans can enjoy fantastic waterfront walking and biking on our city's 18.5-mile path along the shores of Lake Michigan, but have you ever wondered what it would be like if you didn't stop and just kept going? Writer Loreen Niewenhuis from Battle Creek, Mich., is finding out on a 1,000-mile walk around the perimeter of Lake Michigan, which she plans to write a book about. She stepped off from Navy Pier on March 16 and is walking counter-clockwise around the lake. The most recent leg of her trip got her as far as Manitowoc, Wis. You can read about her journey on her blog at http://laketrek.blogspot.com. Loreen is inviting people to join her on the Chicago lakefront on September 26, 2009, for the last 10 miles of her trek -- see the bottom of this post for details.
Why did you decide to do a 1,000-mile walk around Lake Michigan?
Profile: Sharon's Walk to Work
by crandell | 11/07/2007
Lakeview resident Sharon understands that walking is transportation, and regularly makes her six mile commute between home and the Loop on foot. Sharon works as the head of an IT department for a large foundation. Her commute is a great example for the rest of us, and a reminder that we live in a great city where six miles can actually be an enjoyable walk. Many of us are lucky enough to have the option of walking home at the end of the day -- let's take advantage of it more often.
So you walk to work every day from Lakeview to the Loop? How long does it take you?
I try to get 5 or more walking trips in each week. Sometimes I walk to work, sometimes I walk home, sometimes (but rarely) I do both.
It takes me 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Yeah, that's a long walk, so it makes sense you'd usually just do it one-way. What route do you take for the walk?

What else can I take for acid reflux besides Kapidex, Zegerid, Aciphex, Nexium, Protonix, and Zantac?
- Q: I am in need of your help! I have acid reflux, and I have tried Kapidex, Zegerid, Aciphex, Nexium, Protonix, Zantac 150 mg. They have all made me itch. I have spasms in the esophagus. This is a very frightening thing! What else can I take?
- A: When a patient experiences itching after starting a new medication, it can be a sign that the patient is allergic to the medication. When a patient is allergic to one medication in a class of drugs, then often the patient will be allergic to other medications in that same class. The following medications are all considered proton pump inhibitors: Kapidex (dexlansoprazole), Zegerid (omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate), Aciphex (rabeprazole), Nexium (esomeprazole), and Protonix (pantoprazole). Zantac (ranitidine) is classified as a histamine H2 antagonist. One class of medications that you did not list trying is antacids. This class would include products such as: Rolaids, Alka-Seltzer, Tums, and Mylanta. These medications work by neutralizing stomach acid and are usually used for mild acid reflux. Ask your physician if they would be appropriate treatment options for you. Other than that, medications for acid reflux fall into two classes of medications: proton pump inhibitors and histamine H2 antagonists. Some medications in these classes that you have not tried include: Prevacid (lansoprazole), Tagamet (cimetidine), and Pepcid (famotidine). However, with your history of itching with your previous medications, there is a strong chance you could have itching with these. Please talk with your physician regarding questions you have about treatment options for your acid reflux. Jen Marsico, RPh

FRIDAY, June 14 (HealthDay News) -- About half of rheumatoid arthritis patients stopped taking their medications within two years after they started them, a new study finds.
Rheumatoid arthritis affects about one in 100 people worldwide and can cause progressive joint destruction, deformity, pain and stiffness. The disease can reduce physical function, quality of life and life expectancy.
The main reason about one-third of patients discontinued their medications was because the drugs lost their effectiveness, the study authors found. Other reasons included safety concerns (20 percent), doctor preference (nearly 28 percent), patient preference (about 18 percent) and access to treatment (9 percent), according to the study results, which were presented Thursday at the annual meeting of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR), in Madrid, Spain.
Rheumatoid arthritis "is a progressive disease, which, if left untreated, can significantly and permanently reduce joint function, patient mobility and quality of life," study lead author Dr. Vibeke Strand, a clinical professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, said in an EULAR news release.
"Studies have shown that patients sustain maximum benefit from [rheumatoid arthritis] treatment in the first two years -- yet our data highlight significant discontinuation rates during this time period," Strand said.
The study included more than 6,200 rheumatoid arthritis patients who started treatment by taking either tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) or non-TNFi biologics. In the TNFi group, the percentages of patients who continued taking their medications were about 82 percent at six months, 68 percent at 12 months and 52 percent at 24 months. In the non-TNFi group, the percentages for those corresponding time periods were about 81 percent, 63 percent and 46 percent, respectively.
The average time to medication discontinuation was 26.5 months in the TNFi group and 20.5 months in the non-TNFi group, the investigators found.
"While there is no cure for [rheumatoid arthritis], initiating treatment early and improving adherence can enable patients to lead active and productive lives," Strand said in the news release.
The data and conclusions of research presented at medical meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Benefits Of Dog Ownership
Benefits of Dog Ownership
There are multiple reasons people want to own a dog. Animal Behavior College, an expert in teaching others how to become a dog trainer, also prides itself in providing general information on pet care and ownership. They know that some folks want a dog for security reasons. For others, it may have been a life-long dream that they are now ready to act on. Sometimes, it's children that spur the impulse. Whatever the reason, ABC offers useful tips to consider when examining your motivations in dog ownership.
Dogs can offer added security
Those with animal careers know it is common for people to buy a dog for security purposes, whether it's a family of many or a family of 'one'. Dogs offer a source of protection. Statistically, it has been shown, burglars are less likely to enter a home with a barking dog. It is helpful to note, that keeping a dog chained or confined outside reduces the effectiveness of the 'bark' factor. If security is your motivation for dog ownership, you'll want to know the best way is to 'house' your dog for this effect.When confined dogs can't differentiate between real or imagined threats and incessantly bark, it is common for owners to dismiss the barking that can occur. An inside dog will provide greater security value in this regard (or if a dog has freedom outside). Keeping a dog 'close to what it is protecting' provides maximum benefit for you or your family.
Owning dogs can to teach children responsibility
While an important reason, security is not the only benefit for having a family dog. Teaching children responsibility also has tremendous value. Learning general issues in life such as illness, healthcare for pets, and even death—stages also common to humans—can be very beneficial for children as a natural teaching tool.
Dogs are GREAT companions
Still, companionship is likely the single most common reason (along with security) that people want a family dog. Research conducted by The Delta Society (www.deltasociety.org), a non-profit group promoting healthy human-animal bonding, posts that there are significant health and well-being benefits that optimize happiness in people who own dogs. Dogs bring joy, affection, and unconditional support for their pack – your family – and have the capacity to increase the quality of life for you and your family.
Finally, growing up in a household with a family dog can trigger an interest in animal careers, sometimes creating curiosity on how to become a dog trainer. Animal Behavior College has educated numerous students from family dog childhoods who have developed wonderful relationships through the experience.
Whether the experience one gains in childhood prepares individuals for a future animal career or one is seeking the pleasure of dog companionship, the benefits can be a life-enhancing experience.
