There's a part of me that wants to drop everything I'm doing on a daily basis, give it up, and do something that truly makes me happy (or that I think will make me happy). I want to forget about the past and everything that has happened and start a clean slate. As much as I want to do that today; start fresh and pretend like it's a whole new life, I won't. Why? Because there's doubt running through my head. Then I start thinking about …

I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial's hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.

So suddenly it's Thanksgiving. How did that happen? Wasn't it just Halloween? It's that time of year when all the holidays start running together and it all starts to blur. One year I was so fed up with the whole thing that just for fun, I came up with the greeting "Happy Hallothankschristmakwanzukah" and designed a graphic for it. There's just so many things to celebrate this time of year and I felt there should be one greeting that covers all of it. You'll have to rehearse it a few times before it rolls off your tongue, though.
I have to admit, the last few years I really haven't been in a festive mood during the holidays. I didn't have a desire to have a tree or decorate much, because it only seemed to emphasize what I didn't have, and that made me feel much worse. The first year I only put lights on a bench I had, and that was all I could handle. I put the few presents I did buy on it and called it the Christmas Bench. It was just enough.
The next year I didn't have the bench. I had a rocking chair, so it morphed into the Christmas Rocker, and I put a few more lights up, added a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, and a Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer character set, complete with Yukon Cornelius and the Abominable. My grandson got a kick out of that. And that was just enough.

SAN DIEGO, July 27, 2012 – The new "Dancing With the Stars" cast includes the usual array of sports heroes, music stars, actors and actresses and a controversial name or two. But for Fall 2012, all the names should be familiar to fans, because they are all former competitors from past seasons. All but one made it to the finals, and six are former champions.
The first ever "Dancing With The Stars All-Stars" edition was announced today by ABC on "Good Morning America." For ABC it's one of the few ways the network will get even the slightest bit of attention until after the Summer Olympic Games are over.
The new/old batch of twelve contestants on ABC's hit dance competition show includes two former Olympic gold medallists, and both were winners of their season: speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno and gymnast Shawn Johnson.
Two additional former champions comes from sports: Former Dallas Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith (Season 3), and Indy car driver Helio Castroneves.
The show's very first Mirror Ball Trophy winner is back seven years later to have another shot at the prize: soap opera actress Kelly Monaco.
Fan favorite Kirstie Alley is back, who placed second much to everyone's surprise in Season 13. Also back for another try is "Baywatch" actress Pamela Anderson, ended up in sixth place in season 10.
"Bachelor" reality star Melissa Rycroft will return. She was a last-minute substitution in Season 10 and turned out to be competitive and a fan favorite. Now she'll get to start on even footing with the rest of the stars.
Actor Gilles Marini fills the ladies' man heartthrob category. He came in second in Season 8 to Shawn Johnson by one percent of the vote, a decision that didn't sit too well with a lot of fans and critics who felt he was the clear winner.
Former boy band singers Drew Lachey, winner of Season 2, and Joey Fatone, second in Season 4 will return. Fatone has been performing for several months six nights a week in the Las Vegas stage production version of "Dancing With the Stars." He should be in exceptional condition if he kept practicing after the show closed in mid-July.
And it wouldn't be Dancing With the Stars if there wasn't at least one polarizing, controversial name. Be thankful for this: It's not Kate Gosselin, and it's not Cloris Leachman.
Back for another try at the Mirror Ball Trophy is Bristol Palin, daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Bear in mind the competition will be taking place at the same time as the last few months leading into the presidential election. Don't think it won't somehow play in or be acknowledged.
One last competitor will be chosen by the fans from a ballot of three: Season 14 competitor Carson Kressley; Season 10 Disney actor Kyle Massey; and Season 2 Disney actress Sabrina Bryan. All three have been performing along with Fatone in the Las Vegas stage version the past few months, and should be well-trained and ready to hit the dance floor. This is important because the results of the vote won't be announced until August 27 on ABC's "Good Morning America." Fans can vote online for their choice at ABC's website.
Among those announced, we have six previous winners, including the winners from the first five seasons: Monaco, Lachey, Smith, Ohno, Castroneves; and Shawn Johnson of Season 8; and three second place runners-up, Fatone; Alley and Marini. There are two third place participants; Melissa Rycroft of Season 8 and Bristol Palin of Season 11. The only competitor of the named group who was not a finalist is Pamela Anderson, who placed sixth in Season 10, a fairly generous result.
The professional dancers the contestants draw can make a big difference. They will be announced on August 13. Show producers know the fans like certain dancers more than others, and will vote for them and their star partners even if they don't perform all that well in a given week. If you draw Derek Hough (three time winner), Mark Ballas, Cheryl Burke, or Kym Johnson (two-time winners), you've got a leg up.
If the producers intended to pair the all-stars with their former pro partner, there are several conflicts. Lachey, Smith and Marini all danced with Cheryl Burke. Mark Ballas danced both with Johnson and Palin. Ohno and astoneves both danced with Julianne Hough, who is no longer on the show. Switching things up will be entertaining for the devoted fans.
Think ballroom dancing will ever be included in the Summer Olympics? The next Games are in Rio. Perfect.
"Dancing With the Stars" debuts Monday night, September 24, at 8 p.m. Eastern/Pacific Time, and airs on Monday and Tuesday nights on the ABC Television Network.

Reuters: ANA to conduct up to 200 Boeing 787 test flights
ANA (All Nippon Airways) (Tokyo) according to this report by Reuters is planning to conduct from 100 to 200 test roundtrip flights in May after corrections are made to the battery system before the Boeing 787 is returned to revenue service in June.

Boeing receives FAA approval of certification plan for a 787 battery solution
Boeing (Chicago) has received approval from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) (Washington) of the company's plan to test and certify improvements to the 787's battery system. Successful completion of each step within the plan will result in the FAA's approval to resume commercial 787 flights.
"Our top priority is the integrity of our products and the safety of the passengers and crews who fly on them," said Boeing Chairman, President and CEO Jim McNerney. "Our team has been working around the clock to understand the issues and develop a solution based on extensive analysis and testing following the events that occurred in January. Today's approval from the FAA is a critical and welcome milestone toward getting the fleet flying again and continuing to deliver on the promise of the 787," he said.
Ray Conner, president and chief executive officer of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said that the company's focus has been on developing a permanent resolution.
"Working with internal and external experts in battery technology, we have proposed a comprehensive set of solutions designed to significantly minimize the potential for battery failure while ensuring that no battery event affects the continued safe operation of the airplane," said Conner.
"Our proposal includes three layers of improvements. First, we've improved design features of the battery to prevent faults from occurring and to isolate any that do. Second, we've enhanced production, operating and testing processes to ensure the highest levels of quality and performance of the battery and its components. Third, in the unlikely event of a battery failure, we've introduced a new enclosure system that will keep any level of battery overheating from affecting the airplane or being noticed by passengers," Conner said.
Design feature improvements for the battery include the addition of new thermal and electrical insulation materials and other changes. The enhanced production and testing processes include more stringent screening of battery cells prior to battery assembly. Operational improvements focus on tightening of the system's voltage range. A key feature of the new enclosure is that it ensures that no fire can develop in the enclosure or in the battery. Additional details of the new design will be provided by Boeing in the days ahead.
Boeing made its certification plan proposal to the FAA in late February. Today the agency agreed that the proposed changes and the detailed test plans address the conditions that resulted in the suspension of 787 operations.
The FAA also granted Boeing permission to begin flight test activities on two airplanes: line number 86, which will conduct tests to demonstrate that the comprehensive set of solutions work as intended in flight and on the ground; and ZA005, which is scheduled to conduct engine improvement tests unrelated to the battery issue. Additional testing may be scheduled as needed.
The certification plan calls for a series of tests that show how the improved battery system will perform in normal and abnormal conditions. The test plans were written based on the FAA's standards as well as applicable guidelines published by the Radio Technical Commission on Aeronautics (RTCA), an advisory committee that provides recommendations on ways to meet regulatory requirements. The RTCA guidelines were not available when the original 787 battery certification plan was developed.
"We have a great deal of confidence in our solution set and the process for certifying it," said Conner. "Before 787s return to commercial service, our customers and their passengers want assurance that the improvements being introduced will make this great airplane even better. That's what this test program will do."

ANA adjusts the number of Boeing 787-9 aircraft on order
ANA (All Nippon Airways) has adjusted the number of Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 Dreamliners on order. The four 787-8s that were due to be delivered in fiscal year 2013 and onwards will now be replaced by four 787-9 aircraft. This will give ANA greater flexibility as it expands its international route network.
The total number of Dreamliners on order remains at 55 but now the order will be split at 36 787-8 and 19 787-9 aircraft. ANA has taken delivery of seven 787-8 Dreamliners. The new type has been assigned to domestic routes and also on the Tokyo (Haneda)-Frankfurt route. The carrier plans to launch new 787 service from Tokyo to both Seattle/Tacoma and San Jose, California in the current fiscal year.

ANA changes 15 Dreamliner orders to 787-9s

ANA (All Nippon Airways (Tokyo) has decided to change 15 of its current orders for the Boeing 787-8 aircraft to the 787-9 model. ANA currently has a total of 55 orders for the Dreamliner.
The 787-9 aircraft is an extended body version of the 787-8 model, appropriate for short, mid-haul and long-haul international routes. The model will also meet the increasing need for 400 seat-capacity aircraft for domestic routes, and will further improve the flexibility of our fleet and network planning. Furthermore, like the 787-8 model, it is a highly fuel efficient aircraft which will enable ANA to reduce operating costs and carbon dioxide emission.

Boeing delays the first 787 delivery to ANA to mid first quarter 2011
ANA (All Nippon Airways) Boeing 787-881 N787EX (msn 34488) BFI (Gabor Hajdufi) (test aircraft ZA002), originally uploaded by Airliners Gallery.
Boeing (Chicago, Seattle, Wichita and Charleston) said that it now expects delivery of the first 787 to ANA in the middle of the first quarter 2011.
The delivery date revision follows an assessment of the availability of an engine needed for the final phases of flight test this fall.
While Boeing works closely with Rolls-Royce to expedite engine availability, flight testing across the test fleet continues as planned.
Boeing said last month that the cumulative impact of a series of issues, including supplier workmanship issues related to the horizontal stabilizer and instrumentation delays, could push first delivery of the 787 a few weeks into 2011. The delay in engine availability has extended that estimate to mid-first quarter 2011.
Meanwhile, due to the new delay, Kenya Airways is threatening to cancel its order for the new airplane.

ANA-All Nippon Airways (Tokyo) and Honeywell have signed a 10-year maintenance agreement for support of its equipment on ANA's new Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
Honeywell will provide spares, logistics and repair services for its equipment on board the aircraft. Honeywell has flight control electronics, navigation radios, crew information systems and interior and exterior lighting.
ANA is expected to receive its first 787-800 in December 2010 or January 2011.
In other news ,ANA is seeking international investment from other partner airlines and investment funds to help set up a new LCC which will be launched in early 2011 according to the Nikkei Business Daily.
ANA is expected to take a 30-50 percent stake in the new LCC. The ANA name will not be used for the new airline.
On the financial side, ANA reported a fiscal first quarter net loss of slightly over $60 million.

Boeing (Chicago, Seattle, Wichita and Charleston) has stated delivery of its new 787 aircraft to ANA (All Nippon Airways) could be delayed into early 2011. Boeing is still hoping it can deliver the new type to ANA by year's end.
Read the full report in the WSJ:
In other news, Boeing has chosen North Charleston, SC, as the location for its new 787 Dreamliner interiors fabrication facility. Boeing will purchase land from Stone Mountain Industrial Park Inc. BRPH will design the facility, and Pattillo Construction will provide construction services. Employees at the facility will manufacture and assemble airplane interior parts.
The new fabrication factory will be 10 miles (16 km) from Boeing's 787 final assembly and delivery site in North Charleston (CHS). The close proximity of the two facilities will help improve the efficiency of the final assembly and delivery process in South Carolina. Charleston International Airport (CHS) will become the second 787 assembly plant in 2011 behind Everett (Paine Field) (PAE).

Continental, United and ANA apply for antitrust immunity for trans-Pacific flights
Continental Airlines, United Airlines and ANA (All Nippon Airways) yesterday (December 23) filed an application with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for antitrust immunity to enable the three carriers to create a more efficient and comprehensive trans-Pacific network.
The trans-Pacific joint venture – the first of its kind between the U.S. and Asia – also would enable United, ANA and Continental to compete more effectively with other global alliances, each of which has a significant presence in Tokyo.
Upon DOT approval of the companies' immunity application, United, ANA and Continental will be able to jointly manage trans-Pacific activities including scheduling, pricing and sales, offering customers a greater selection of routings and a wider range of fare and service options.
Here is the full press release:
Related to this, ANA's future Boeing 787-881 N787EX (msn 34488) developed some landing gear and brake problems on its previously-reported first flight according to this Seattle Times article:
Boeing completes the first flight of the second Dreamliner, ANA's 787-881 N787BA
ANA (All Nippon Airways) Boeing 787-881 N787EX (msn 34488) PAE
Originally uploaded by Airliners Gallery
Boeing (Chicago, Seattle, Wichita and Charleston) yesterday (December 22) completed the first flight of the second 787 Dreamliner, designated ZA002 (but actually the pictured 787-881 N787EX, msn 34488). The all-new airplane, which features the 1983 livery of the Dreamliner's launch customer, ANA (All Nippon Airways) of Japan, took off from Paine Field in Everett, completed a two-hour flight and landed at Boeing Field in Seattle.
Boeing stated "We are delighted that the second Dreamliner is in the livery of our launch customer, ANA," said Scott Fancher, vice president and general manager of the 787 program. "We are honored by the airline's support and look forward to delivering ANA the first production airplane next year."
Captain Randy Neville was at the controls for the flight, with Chief Pilot Mike Carriker operating as co-pilot. Neville and Carriker took the airplane to an altitude of 13,000 feet (3,962 m) and an airspeed of 200 knots, or about 230 miles (370 km) per hour. The airplane took off at 9:09 a.m. PST and landed at 11:10 a.m. PST.
This is the second of six 787s being used in the airplane's flight-test program. Each of the airplanes will be used for a specific set of tests, with this airplane focusing on systems performance. Like its predecessor, ZA001, the airplane is powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines.
In other news, Boeing announced yesterday (December 22) it is taking full control of Global Aeronautica, the midfuselage plant in North Charleston, SC, by buying out its Italian supplier Alenia. In July, Boeing took over the Vought facility at North Charleston (CHS). CHS will be location of the second Dreamliner assembly plant.

Acupuncture predates recorded history and is rooted in Taoist tradition, which goes back over 8,000 years. In this time the concepts of Yin and Yang were created and became the backbone of Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Acupuncture became suppressed in china in 1911, when western medicine was introduced into china. During the time Acupuncture was used mainly among the "folk people" and was eventually brought back into mainstream China by communist leader Mao Zedong in 1950. It was then that hospitals in China began to incorporate a the use western medicine and acupuncture and Chinese medicine into their healthcare system.
How it works:
Though much about acupuncture and how it works is unknown, the successful clinical trials over the past thousands of years have proven it to be effective. Acupuncture has been shown to be very effective in treating chronic pain. It helps 55-85% of the cases while morphine, in comparison, helps 70% of cases. The fact that acupuncture can be compared to such a strong drug as having a similar rate of success speaks for itself. It works! And acupuncture, unlike morphine, has very few side effects.
When a needle is inserted into an acupuncture point, an achy, warm or heavy quality is often felt. These sensations are the feelings of Qi arriving at the acupuncture point. In Chinese Medicine, Qi is the vital energy that flows through the meridians much the blood flows through the vessels. The activities of the bodies organs, defense system, circulation and vitality all depend on the free flow and function of Qi.
The meridians that run through the body connect all the organs in the body and are which the Qi flows through. Since all the organs are connected, acupuncture moves Qi through the meridians and balances the bodies internal function to maintains the balance of yin and yang.
Disease is due to the invasion of exterior pathogens into the meridians. These diseases can spread through the meridians and if it goes untreated, it can eventually penetrate the organs. When these exterior pathogens invade, it often can cause the Qi to stagnate and not flow properly. Imagine a stream that is being blocked by a pile of debris, when a hole is made in this the stream will flow and eventually knock down the debris. Inserting acupuncture needles acts in a similar way to get the Qi and blood flowing normally. (2)
How Acupuncture Works from a Western Standpoint:
It is theorized that the meridians lie in the superficial fascia of the connective tissue and that the Qi is circulating here. The Qi is a bioelectric energy that is associated with the connective tissue's structure. The fluids surrounding the fibers contain a vast array of chemicals, ionically charged particles, molecules and atoms. When the needle is inserted it creates the potential for electrical change. The generation of the small electrical currents nourishes the connective tissue fibers. (5)
Research has show that acupuncture increases the microcirculation and vasomotions throughout the body which increases oxygenation of the tissues and can help to flush toxins, waste products and other accumulated particles and chemicals from the tissues to improve overall function. Because of the nature of connective tissue, it is extremely plausible that these effects could take place not only locally, but at a distance from the place of needle insertion. (8)
One Study suggests that pain relief from acupuncture is due to the fact that acupuncture stimulates the nerve fibers in the muscles and then sends impulses to the spinal chord, midbrain and hypothalamus-pituitary. These centers then release endorphins and monamines, which block the pain impulses. (8)
In "Acupuncture Analgesia – Basic Research" written by Bruce Pomeranz at the University of Toronto backs the above description of how acupuncture works. He said that when needles are inserted close to the site of pain or in a trigger point, they are maximizing the segmental circuits operating within the spinal cord (cell 7) and also bringing other cells into the other two centers (cells 11 and 14). When needles are placed far away they only activate cell 11 and 14. Cells 11 and 14 produce analgesia throughout the body while cell 7 produces analgesia locally. (9)
the body while cell 7 produces analgesia locally. (9)
The Morphogenetic Singularity Theory on the Origin of acupuncture points and meridians:
There is a very interesting theory proposed by Charles Shang of the Emory University School of Medicine on the relationship between the meridians system and embryogenesis. He says that meridians contain under differentiated epithelial cells connected by gap junctions which transduce signals and play a central role in mediating acupuncture effects.
Shang explains that morphogenetic singularity theory published in the 1980's applied the singularity theory of mathematics to explain the origin, distribution and nonspecific activation phenomena of the meridian system. The fate of a larger region is frequently controlled by a small group of cells which is termed an organizing center. Organizing centers are the high electric conductance points on the body surface. The high conductance phenomenon is further supported by the finding of high density of gap junctions at the sites of organizing centers. Both acupuncture points and organizing centers have high electric conductance, current density, high density of gap junction, and can be activated by nonspecific stimuli. Acupuncture points, which also have high electrical conductance and high density of gap junctions originate from organizing centers.
Shang concludes that based on the morphogenetic singularity theory, the meridian system originates from a network of organizing centers and the evolutionary origin of the meridian system is likely to have preceded all the other physiological systems, including the nervous, circulatory, and immune systems. Its genetic blueprint might have served as a template from which the newer systems evolved. Consequently it overlaps and interacts with other systems but is not simply part of them. (7,9)
The Balancing Effect of Acupuncture
This study done by Alavi et al (1996) and reviewed by Z. H Cho in their article entitled "Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain in the Investigation of Acupuncture" four of the five patients in the study had a marked asymmetry in blood flow in the thalamus prior to acupuncture treatment. Following the acupuncture treatment in which all five of the patients reported pain relief, it was observed that the asymmetry was greatly reduced.
Hammerschlag and Lao review two separate studies by Nishijo et al (1997) and Tayama (1984) in an article entitled "Future Directions for Research on the Physiology of Acupuncture". They observe that when one looks at these trials from the point of view of the individual it becomes apparent that those individuals whose pretreatment heart rates were in the lowest third of the normal test group had their rates increased by acupuncture, whereas those with initial values in the highest third experienced a decrease.
They go on to note that indications of the normalizing or balancing effect of acupoint stimulation have also been detected in immune system responses. They cite the case in which the levels of IgA (the main class of salivary immunoglobulins) increased after 30 minutes of acupuncture and at 24 hours post-treatment in healthy individuals whose initial levels were low and decreased in those whose initial levels were high.
Ultimately we may find that acupuncture acts as an elegant bridge between the various physical sciences and energetic medicine. As Hammerschlag and Lao so eloquently state: "It may also become clearer that acupuncture triggers homeostatic regulation by acting on an integrative system that is separate from but interfaces with the known autonomic and humoral systems." (9)
Acupuncture Benefit pinpointed – Investors Business Daily
Acupuncture releases the natural pain-killing molecule adenosine in deep tissue that needles stimulate, according to a team at the Univ. of Rochester Medical Center. The molecule has anti-inflammatory properties and helps regulate sleep as well. Researchers also found they could boost acupuncture's benefits by applying the cancer drug deoxycoformycin, which nearly tripled the accumulation of adenosine in muscles and more than tripled the amount of time acupuncture was effective.

Major new professional development opportunities for University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire faculty and academic staff were announced this week by the universitys chief academic officer Provost Ronald Satz.
Satz introduced three new programs, which will help support faculty and staff in the pursuit of opportunities for enhancing the learning environment, increasing professional development and strengthening student learning. The Office of Academic Affairs also will enhance two existing programs.
Chancellor Donald Mash said the new programs are a result of needs identified by faculty and staff through a new strategic planning process introduced last year as well as through the annual review process.
We asked our faculty and academic staff to tell us what they could do if they had the funding, and they said they wanted to take part in more professional development opportunities, Mash said. Teaching and learning are at the core of our enterprise, and our faculty and staff care deeply about creating the very best environment for a quality educational experience for our students.
Awards of up to $500 each, or $30,000, will be available for travel support for presentations of the results of research and other scholarly and creative activities at professional meetings. Approximately $130,000 annually will be awarded for special projects, curricular redesign and guest lecturers, artists and other professionals. A faculty acculturation program will be inaugurated in the next academic year and will involve time reassignment for new tenure track faculty to participate in orientation sessions about the university community and issues pertaining to teaching and learning.
Also, new resources will enhance existing programs which encourage faculty and academic staff to engage in research and other scholarly activity and which encourage departments to provide time reassignment for research and scholarly activity. This includes enhancements to the Time Reassignment Incentive Program, which earlier won an award for creativity from the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.
These programs aim to heighten interest in, and support for, teaching and learning and to help encourage innovation and research in the scholarship of teaching, Satz said in his announcement. They provide professional opportunities to assist faculty and academic staff in responding more effectively to challenges associated with advances in disciplinary knowledge and pedagogy as well as new technologies and their applications.
The new programs supplement existing professional development support provided by the various units, departments, schools and colleges as well as those offered through the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, the Center of Excellence for Faculty and Undergraduate Student Research Collaboration, the Network for Excellence in Teaching and the Center for Instruction Technology Improvement and Innovation.
Mash said he hopes future fund-raising efforts coordinated through the UW-Eau Claire Foundation will enable the university to increase the level of support for these initiatives and existing programs in the years ahead as well as to develop additional professional development opportunities.-30-JW

Assisted Living Adapts to Changing Resident Acuity
As the assisted living resident demographic changes toward higher age and acuity, senior living providers are shifting care models with a clinical focus to accommodate emerging needs.
A majority of assisted living residents are female, 85 or older, and need help with at least one activity of daily living (ADL), according to the CDC's 2010 National Survey of Residential Care FacilitiesLink Icon. Nearly 40% need help with three or more ADLs.
"Back in the day, we used to say our industry was hospitality with healthcare. I would say we're becoming healthcare with hospitality," says Gina D'Angelo, RN, vice president of health services at independent, assisted, and memory care provider Chelsea Senior Living, and Chair of ALFA's Clinical Quality Executive Roundtable.
That doesn't mean the halls of Chelsea's 17 communities are traversed by medical professionals in white lab coats, she says, but it does make for a more clinical approach to senior living.
"We're doing a lot to manage acuity," agrees Terry Lawrence, vice president of health and wellness at New Perspective Senior Living, an independent living, assisted living, and memory care provider.
Adopting Tech Solutions
One such initiative: rolling out an electronic medication administration (eMAR) system across New Perspective's 12 senior living communities.
The roll-out—currently about one-third complete—will be done by the end of 2013. Planned next for 2014 is the implementation of an integrated electronic health record (EHR) system.
"The benefits of eMAR [include] streamlining workflow and processes to ensure we reduce medication error," Lawrence says. "As for the advantages of EHR—integrating all ancillary services through one engine is the best and most efficient way to manage care."
Chelsea Senior Living is in the process of moving toward an electronic medical record (EMR) format, and it's looking into ways to coordinate relationships between all the ancillary healthcare providers often present in assisted living communities.
"We are going to have to manage through electronic medical formats, with increased training and evaluation of our staffing models in order to meet the needs of the baby boomers coming down the pike," D'Angelo says. "We're going to have to work a lot more cohesively with those from whom residents receive their current medical care, in order to maintain a seamless medical process for them."
Assisted living is a very segmented environment, in a clinical sense, she says. Residents have their own physicians along with access to a variety of other healthcare providers including therapy, dental, vision, podiatry, pharmacy, home health, and hospice.
"They all come into the building and take part in a resident's health," says D'Angelo. "We need to move into a direction where we begin to communicate with each other to take better care of our residents."
Staffing Adjustments
That communication comes into play not just with third-party healthcare providers, but also the staff employed in each community.
Chelsea communities have full-time health service directors who are on call 24 hours a day, sharing this role with full- or part-time registered nurses (RNs). Communities also have med technicians specially trained on medication management and certified medication aides along with certified nursing aides.
Ongoing training and leadership and skills development have been a key focus, and Chelsea has taken steps to address higher acuity among residents.
"We've invested a lot of education in our health services directors, in terms of how we train them and the frequency of our communication with them," says D'Angelo. "Because RNs have such a vital role in overall health and wellness of residents, it's vital we have constant training for our health service directors."
At New Perspective Senior Living, directors of wellness are available 24/7. RNs and licensed practical nurses are also on staff in accordance with state regulations.
While staffing is based on resident acuity and has remained consistent, the company has created some new positions; Lawrence's was introduced in September 2011.
"To fully meet the needs of our growing acuity, we've layered in an area health and wellness director role to ensure that policy, procedures and training are up to date, and for quality assurance," he says.
Some assisted living providers have been anticipating the shift in acuity and already have models that accommodate more medical-based services.
"Demographic change and average age change hasn't affected us all that much," says Tom Kelly, an executive director at a Brandywine Senior Living, which owns and operates 24 assisted living communities in five states.
Brandywine's care model includes nurses onsite 24/7, and residents shape staffing patterns. Incoming residents go through a "solid" assessment that gathers information from family members and doctors.
"We gain a good handle [on their needs] then make the decision if we can care for them," Kelly says.
Despite assisted living's move toward a more medical model, Kelly believes it will retain its social aspects, especially as baby boomers approach retirement.
"The clinical climate for our residents is dramatically changed," agrees D'Angelo."It's not the nursing home of tomorrow—assisted living will never go in that direction. But with the boomers coming and the need for more choice and fluidity in their lifestyles, clinically we have to prepare for that."
Ed. note: A previous version of this article included an incorrect count of Chelsea Senior Living communities; they have 17, not 15.

Great spotlight! It's wonderful to see how communities are thinking ahead to adapt for future residents, and that effort is paying off – on SeniorAdvisor.com, reviewers consistently rank Chelsea Senior Living and Brandywine communities 4-5 stars for their care services. http://www.SeniorAdvisor.com
This article spotlights the trend of more and more on site care. What is baffling is that most facilities don't have a designated room for care. Last week the New York Times showed residents getting dental work in the facility conference room. Facilities have designated rooms for licensed hair care. Multi care treatment rooms should be in facilities for the delivery of health care. Foot doctors and dentists use rotary instruments. The entire facility is exposed to airborne pathogens when care is rendered in conference rooms, hallways, or the hair salon. Baby boomers will not tolerate care in facilities using current methods.
Nice Post! Staffing management is very important issues in all living communities and we should take right steps towards the organization plans, future residents and all other issues that meet personnel needs now and in the future. This requires collecting and analyzing data on all positions in an organization.

So worth the wait!By Brian G., May 3, 2013I waited six long gruelling weeks for my Mini Cooper Roadster S to show up, but it was worth the wait. It's one fun car, quick enough for me, and handles extremely well. Driving has never been this fun, and I look forward to getting into the little car each morning. It's got a smooth ride and even though it's a small car, it has a lot of room. Don't try to seat anyone tall or big though with the top up. I don't have much to complain about with the Cooper Roadster S, just get it fully loaded and don't look back! ...moreFun car to drive, great price, handles great, comfortable

wow. a lot of competition at DT. Joseph for sure and then Jenkins are in. That leaves Rogers, Patteron, Austin and Kuhn fighting for the last 2 spots. Kuhn was a nice surprise before he got hurt and it would be hard to believe the Giants cut a 2nd round pick in his 3rd year. Will be interesting....
Is this guy any good? I don't know anything about him.
I wonder how Kuhn's ACL rehab is coming along?

How to Optimize Google Sitelinks for Conversion
Not to be confused with Sitelinks for natural search, when enabled in an AdWords campaign, Google Adwords Sitelinks will display additional links underneath a standard text ad, and are used to drive clicks to deep content on your website. Typically Ad Sitelinks will only be served below text ads with higher-than-average CTR, position and quality score such as a creative served when a user searches one of your trademarked brand terms or a domain name that you own. Sitelinks are useful for messaging new promotions, driving traffic to high-converting content, and creating exposure for areas of your site that do not rank high in natural search.
Optimization strategy
Sitelinks do an excellent job of increasing your ad's real estate while in top position, and this additional attention can increase a creative's CTR drastically, Google claims 30%. However, increasing CTR significantly without generating extra conversions may not be a smart business goal, especially if you already own the top positions in natural search. The key to an effective Sitelink strategy is generating an incremental lift in conversion rate in addition to the increase in CTR, especially if the increase in conversion rate causes your paid search creatives to become more effective than natural search results. Let's discuss how to achieve this.
Selecting your creatives
Since text ads must have higher-than-average CTR, quality score and position to display an Ad Sitelink, branded campaigns make excellent candidates for your first test. Note: Ad Sitelink settings must be done at the campaign level, meaning all creatives in your enabled campaign will be eligible to serve Sitelinks.
Once you select a campaign, drill in and navigate to the campaign's Ad Extensions tab in AdWords and select "Sitelinks Extensions" from the drop down menu. Google claims to randomly rotate up to 8 Sitelinks, but this is rarely done, so make it a best practice to use up to 4 Sitelinks per campaign. Here is where the magic happens:
Creating themes based on user behavior
Once you have selected a campaign, you need to determine our Sitelink themes. Some key questions to ask:
- What is the second click in this segment's click path?
- What are the top categories browsed in a session?
- What are your top converting pages sitewide?
- What are the top onsite search terms for this segment?
These questions will give you insight into which Sitelink themes may be effective. For example, if you have selected the XYZ.com branded campaign for this Sitelink test and 60% of all users in this segment navigate to your top converting category called "Discount Football Jerseys", you may want to consider this category as a Sitelink theme to shorten the click path and encourage other users to browse this winning content. Using promotional copy may perform better from a conversion perspective than a generic category such as "Men's Apparel".
Choosing effective Sitelink text
A simple creative test will tell you how to message your theme in a given Sitelink. Create a test adgroup using keywords relevant to your Sitelink's theme, and test different headlines for CTR and conversion rate. If your first Sitelink theme is "Discount Football Jerseys", experiment with different ways to message your value to the user. You may be surprised which headline generates the most conversions. Once your test creatives have generated a statistically significant number of conversions, select the headline which satisfied your thirst for high CTR and exceptional conversion rate, then use it to represent that theme as a Sitelink.
Tracking Sitelink performance
Tracking Sitelink performance is a crucial step in optimizing for conversion rate due to Google's limited reporting on this feature, but in many cases you must get creative with your approach. It is important to note that you must track CTR performance at the campaign level, so it may be beneficial to split your Sitelink ad into a separate campaign. Conversions can be tracked at the Sitelink level, and the most common application is to add a unique tracking parameter to your Sitelink URL. For example, in Google Analytics, appending "&utm_content=sitelink1″ to your Sitelink's URL will allow you to report on conversions generated by the corresponding Sitelink.
Workflow checklist
- Select An Ideal Campaign
- Research User Behavior
- Test Themes As Headlines
- Use Winning Headlines As Sitelinks
- Tag Sitelink Urls With Tracking Code
- Report Ctr & Conversion Results
- Test Additional Themes
Sitelinks can be optimized for conversion by researching customer behavior, creating relevant promotional themes, and using your best performing creative headlines to drive users to winning content. According to Google, Sitelinks can increase CTR up to 30%, and while large increases in click volume are significant, the real high-fiving begins when marketers are able to sustain or increase conversion rate as well to increase revenue and profit.

You make a very good point about increasing CTR without increased conversions. In my experience sitelinks increase CTR drastically, so you really do need to plan out your strategy to make them effective.
Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this site.
It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's difficult to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness
and visual appearance. I must say you have done a
very good job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super
quick for me on Internet explorer. Excellent Blog!
Thank you for highly relevant insights.
Is there any way for site links of keywords with low quality score (5-6) to be displayed when my ad. text is on 1st position? I heart that using synonyms in sitelink text may help but didn't tested yet.

Added D-Fend Reloaded Portable (2013-12-21)
I have created an older version of ZSNES (1.42), as the one posted (1.51) does not support Netplay. I'm just waiting on permission from the 1.51 portable app creator before releasing it.
Current project: Screamer Radio for personal use
It would appear that alysher hasn't been active in a couple of years, so he/she might be unlikely to recieve your request for permission. When/if you do release it, I will update and post a link and description. Is ePSXe going to be released soon, too?
Yes, I intend to release both at approximately the same time. I'm just working out some final touches with the installer, then they're good to go.
I've emailed the developers of ePSXe asking for permission for distribution with a launcher, but I haven't heard back from them, so I'm not 100% certain of the licensing of ePSXe. Therefore, the release of ePSXe may be a bit delayed.
ZSNES, however, is pretty near finished, and I learned it absolutely hates the AppCompactor, which breaks it. Just a few minor details remain.
Virtual Virgo
Current project: Screamer Radio for personal use
could you make "PCSX -
could you make "PCSX - Reloaded" portable ?
its like clone of epsxe but it have some features better than epsxe
one of them is you can switch games without closing emu and exiting game dont lock ur "load iso\run cd" options under file menu
and also i know that plugins-settings of epsxe saves to registry
Online Installer
Without publisher permission, an online installer would work for the ePSXe base app and extract it properly (look at how Kega Fusion does it for details). Unless there are open source plugins to include in the default data folder, users would have to get their own plugins (which is not that bad, since they already need to supply the bios anyway). It also looks like your launcher will be able to handle all of those registry entries when it it ready.
There are a few different options for the app compactor, although without extensive testing it is hard to say what will work. ZSNES is small enough where it shouldn't need to be compacted. If it must be smaller, try compacting only the readme files (which are in both txt and html form).
PCSX - Reloaded does seem remarkably similar to ePSXe, I think I remember them using many of the same plugins. One thing to note is that the game compatibility lists of each emulator are very different. PCSX - Reloaded and ePSXe seem to compliment each other in this regard, in that if a game doesn't work on one, it probably works on the other.
Thank you.
Thank you, I hadn't considered the license of the ePSXe plugins, and it seems silly of me to not have.
I've meanwhile released my first 'Development Release' of ZSNES, sans-compression, since, as you said, it didn't save much space anyway.
Current project: Screamer Radio for personal use
below is list of games i have
below is list of games i have for playstation
somehow all works just fine on PCSX - Reloaded
while some of them dont work on epsxe and some dont have sound on epsxe
but i think its plugin related issue
lol i used < code > tag but it did not work why ?
I can't help you with game-related issues- you'll have to do some research into your problem with your search engine of choice; it isn't a portable app issue, it's a ePSXe issue, so perhaps their forums would have a better answer? Though you are correct, it does sound like a plugin issue (at least for the sound problem).
Also, your
Current project: Screamer Radio for personal use
lol i dont ask for help at
lol i dont ask for help at any kind (im able to play that games so why i should need help anyway ?) i just wanted to point the fact that pcsx-r runs so many different games and they works just fine on it so maybe im wrong but i can assume that it runs as much or more games than epsxe
but even so both emus looks like twins i think IN MY PERSONAL OPINION that pcsx-r is better not only by that but also by few little features that epsxe lack
as i mentioned above 1st smart thing is that when u are playing a game u press escape to quit it in epsxe u need to restart emu
but other small but useful thing is that selection of plugis and their settings are managed in 1 window instead of drop down menu like in epsxe
there are few more stuff in pcsx-r that I THINK are better if u compare it to epsxe
anyway what im trying to say is that i would be happy as hell if u or any 1 could make it portable cause its annoying for me to save my configuration and load it via .reg files cause if i make any change i need to save it again manually and i often reinstall windows so i often lose all that data
and many games works better with different plugins or filters so in other words some games need more tweaking than others
even more there is 1 major difference between games with 2d,3d and 2d+3d graphic cause some plugins filter better 2d graphich but leaves pixelated 3d graphich other plugins do the same thing in reverse they sharpen 3d graphic to ps2 lvl but leaves pixelated 2d graphic
so would be cool if i could have 2 folders of this emulator 1 for 2d and 1 for 3d games maybe 3rd for tweaking other games but anyway its retarded as hell that it all takes settings from registry
only work around is to have pre-made .reg file and via .bat file launch it with emulator but make it 1st add settings to registry and than launch emu
and thats just stupid
i need to stop doing long posts
You're halfway there
You're halfway there, in that if you're doing those things already yourself, you can portablize it on your own as that's all the PortableApps Launcher does- exactly what you already do. Mind you, you'd only have to run 1 executable (the launcher) and it does the rest as far as that goes...
I'm not trying to debate which emulator is better or worse, as it's a matter of opinion. I apologise if I came across that way.
Unfortunately, I find the documentation for the Launcher (and Installer, the Format, etc.) isn't consistent/up to date across the site, and I had a bit of trouble trying to figure it out myself, but like you, I don't usually ask for help. I kept looking at examples and tried to figure out why things did what they did, and what exactly had to go where. It took a lot of 'head-butting' so to speak, trying to almost force myself to understand. It gets easier with practice. So I encourage you to start learning on your own, but in the meantime, I will look at it and give you help as required.
You aren't the only one who needs to stop writing long posts
Virtual Virgo
Current project: Screamer Radio for personal use
wait wait wait before i start
wait wait wait before i start to make another long post let check if i understand you right
so you mean i can make some program portable which is just adding few keys to registry (if i know which keys) with portable launcher??
and instead of adding that keys to registry it will store that kind of data inside its folder ??
well then give me link to some documentation with which i should start
and about epsxe and pcsx-r its like libre and open office
for me someone who just want to open some document eventually change few characters add new line and then print it
its no big difference between them but i think associated icons of libre office looks better
and for someone who is creating new documents working allot with them modifying and need to adjust many text patterns in many different documents than for that person for sure 1 would be better and 1 would just suck
i see in a same way emulators
well grown up on consoles starting from nintendo and now while i grow up and my job is repairing PCs i started to look at every program on a specific way
like 1st of all i care how well it do what it should do so in emulators its how much games it handle and how well it does
and 2nd and sometimes more important than 1st is how much i can adjust it to my needs how many settings i can change
cause i like to customize programs to my personal needs and pcsx-r seems just easier to handle but just in a little bit more way than epsxe
any way if you can guide me on how to portablize anything i would be happy to learn it i dont need you to hold my hand show me some documentation and i think i manage to do something with it
PortableApps.com Format 3.0 (2014-02-08)
PortableApps.com Launcher 2.2 Manual (also comes with launcher generator)
The Launcher 2.2 documentation covers a large part of what you're looking for, and points you to some examples to look at and, I suppose, study from. Instead of jumping in head-first, so to speak, I usually lay out the directories and sample files of what needs to go where (the Format), with comments telling me what needs to go in what file and where, etc. I have a sample AppNamePortable set up with all the possible files and heavy commenting, so I can just change some things here and there, and refer back to other launchers.
Best of luck,
Current project: Screamer Radio for personal use
i reeded some part of links
i reeded some part of links you provided and sub links in them
and i think its too big for me but not impossible
from what i understand i need to learn to compile program with portable app launcher (i dont know even what that is but i know what mean launcher) and before that just set it in that way that it will read/save reg keys from file instead of registry
i feel like allot trail and error with more error than trail but 2 morrow i gonna face it
thanks for tips
Please update the Original Post to reflect ZSNES and ePSXe's revivication:
ZSNES 1.42: Different from 1.51 in that it supports Netplay.
ePSXe 1.9.4:Online installer, does not come with plugins, roms, bios, or other copyrighted material.
