Have an awesome day!
Christina Santini
Women have 52% levels of serotonin compared to men. In other words, women and men are completely different wired biochemically, and thus also responds different to different food strategies. What I've come to see in my years of working with men and women of all ages and with health issues a-z is that there are a lot of women, who do not fare very well on the very-low type of carb diets out there. Especially after their progesterone and thyroid drops. This can happen already at 30 and even earlier for many women. When you go low carb, or at the other end of the extreme: all vegan, you see a drop in serotonin level. After a couple years, we often see severe hormonal imbalances in most cases – and often adrenal fatigue.
Autoimmune diseases are a pain in the neck to deal with for those who struggle with it - your own immune system attacking yourself, seems like nature is almost against you. We expect our immune system to PROTECT us, not attack us right? Well, here's the deal. When we undergo stressors, changes take place on a cellular level - and if the health of the cell-membranes are compromised, hydrolase will begin to leak from the cells out into your body, where an autoimmune reaction will often happen. What does this mean for you? You can eat all the healthy foods in the world, and you will continue to struggle with autoimmune disease for life, if you do not repair damaged cell-membranes, in order to prevent hydrolase from leaking out.
Biofilms are a sticky cover made by bacteria - often encapsulating bad bacteria leading to chronic health conditions and fatigue. The National Institutes of Health estimates that more than 80% of microbial infections in the human body are caused by biofilm, many of them creating chronic conditions.
Did you know that glutathione is one of the most important antioxidants to focus one when dealing with autoimmune disorders, cancer and general immune boosting?
TURMERIC AS EFFICIENT AS 14 DRUGS: Used to treat CANCER + HEART DISEASES + INFLAMMATION + MRSA + DEPRESSION + ARTHRITIS + FIBROMYALGIA + BLOOD SUGAR REGULATION
Science confirms turmeric to be as efficient as 14 drugs including potent for diseases that are drug-resistant and multiple drug-resistant cancers.. Following is a collection of studies confirming turmeric as potent as any prescription drug in most cases - and without gut damaging side-effects:
Joint pain and inflammation related disorders are almost something every single one of us deal with at one point in our life, whether we realize what the culprit is or not. If we do not target the inflammation triggers and eliminate it, we will not benefit fully from any healing recovery program.
Cellulite is not reserved for people dealing with too much fat. Even skinny chicks struggle with this issue, and as the beach season is upon us, many girls feel super uncomfortable wearing shorts and bikinis to enjoy the heat of the season. So how do you solve this vanity issue?
I remember, when I was younger, I could not stand vulnerability. I felt that any display of vulnerability was a display of weakness. And what could be more pitiful than being weak, having to rely on other people, which also put you in a position where you could get rejected. And surely, what could be more pathetic than being rejected - that would mean someone confirming that you were in fact worthless. What could be more repelling than letting other people see how fragile we really are. That yes, we are human. That we all are so very far from perfection, that even being obsessed with how to reach it, is a waste of time in itself.
When was the last time you considered feeding your SOUL. Do you even know what your soul thrives on? Our dysfunctional relationship with food, body and weight is a direct reflection of malnourishment; not just from a biochemical perspective.
Developing a mindful eating practice... bite by bite, that not only feeds our body, but nurtures our soul, is the very first step to gain a healthy relationship with food. Yet the most overlooked part, and the one we struggle the most with. Simply because it goes against that black-white thinking most of us are so used to from dieting and the way we live our life in general.

I have now been following your recommendations for 6 months and my doctor has taken me off my cholesterol and blood pressure meds - he asked me what I had done; and then said: "I don't understand it, but whatever you are doing keep on doing it, because it is working"! I just wanted to say THANK YOU!
Just an update - I know I was sceptic, when you told me about fats and strategies for speeding up fatburn but... It's working! I got my six-pack back. I have so much energy and look better than the guys I'm training these days. Love it!
Your knowledge, care and understanding has been a blessing. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me on my path towards recovery from lung cancer. You are an angel.
"We keep living longer and longer and are not equipped to do that without help from supplements for brain health. The brain controls appetite and mood. Dr. Eric Braverman's nutritionist extraordinaire Christina Santini gave me vitamins and food tips. Wow! You saw the difference no?"
- Sonja Morgan, TV Star on BRAVO TV
Thank you so much for helping me find another way. I want yo to know how much you have meant to me and that I will forever be grateful. 3 years ago I was stealing, doing drugs and suffering from bulimia - today? I am proud to say that I am cured. It's like a new life has begun for me. If only every doctor and nutritionist knew what you know, I wouldn't have had to suffer for that long. Thanks for everything!

See you next week!
I just wanted to reach out to you and say how much you have meant to me during recovery (editor's note: Anorexia). I often think of you and the tools you have given me, when I feel weak and think I can't go on... but then I remember what I need to do, and I know I will be OK. I have a life today, I didn't think possible 2 years ago. I have a boyfriend and have finished my studies. I thank you for this - without you I could not have done it.
Thank you for helping me through this. I didn't think I could ever let go; it has been all I've ever known to manage my pain that I can ever remember. Life is not perfect and I know that's not the point either - letting go of the black-white thinking is not easy, but being able to live life without obsessing about food and cutting is such a relief. I could never imagine I would get to this place where I am today - free to live a life where I no longer cry myself to sleep at night or binge on pints of ice cream or resort to cutting to feel that I am somehow alive. Thank you.
I always look forward to going to your recovery workshops - somehow you always manage to nudge me forward, when I just want to hide from life.
I LOOOVE your workshops! I love that you actually give hands-on tools that I can go home and use right away! It is super motivating and I love that it's not all just touchy-feely stuff, but you actually explain the science behind it - really helps me to understand why I need to make the changes, so that I can feel better long-term.

Our Certified Yoga Instructors
Deb Wolfe
Owner, ERYT-500 & CYT
Debra is the owner/director of Urban Oasis Yoga & Wellness. She has been practicing yoga for more than 15 years. She took her initial 200 hour training in the Iyengar method in 2004 and continued to mentor with Matt Queen for 6 months. In 2006 she took her second 200hr teacher training with Yoga Works were the emphasis was on Ashtanga and Iyengar Yoga and became registered with Yoga Alliance. In 2013 she completed a 500 hour teacher training program through Ananda Seva Yoga & Meditation Center in California. This program emphasized Yoga Therapeutics, Meditation and Ayurveda. Debra has worked with many experienced and knowledgeable doctors, yoga teachers and yoga therapists over the years such as Aadil Palkhivala, JD, CYT, AHS, Avadhutiika Ananda Deviika Ma Acharya, MSc, E-RYT 500, Jnani Chapman RN, Richard Miller, PhD, Sarasvati Buhrman, PhD, RYT 500, Deborah Karish, ERYT, DC, MR and Antonio Sausys, MA, RYT. Today Debra is certified as an ERYT-500 & CYT.
With over 4300 hours of teaching experience, Debra decided to launch a 200-hour teacher training program in September of 2013 that is based on the eight constituents of Patanjali's Ashtanga-Yoga. This program honors the Iyengar method for learning yoga postures with great emphasis on anatomy, and basic yoga therapeutics which she feels is necessary and foundational for a beginner teacher.
In addition to the passion she has for teaching, Debra has owned her own business sense 2006 called Urban Oasis Yoga & Wellness. It is a full-service Integrative health and wellness facility offing services such as Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Naturopathy, Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy, ARNP's, Massage and Yoga Therapy as well as 35 yoga classes a week taught in 10 different styles.
Rebecca Pitzer
Rebecca practiced yoga off and on for 5 years before she attended a power vinyasa class. She immediately knew she found her style of yoga. Rebecca loved the physical workout she got practicing, but it was the mind-body connection that kept her coming back. She felt herself growing more confident and learning about who she really was. Rebecca's biggest challenge is learning to translate what she cultivates on her mat into her life off the mat. This is the place in which she teaches from. She provides a nurturing space for her students to grow in their practice physically and mentally and challenges them to manifest this into their lives off the mat. Rebecca completed her 200-hr certification in May 2011 at Be Luminous Yoga in Seattle. She has also completed a Teacher Training Intensive and Teacher Assistant Program with Lisa Black at Shakti Vinyasa along with classes with Baptiste Master teachers and Foundations in Action with Baron Baptiste.
Diana Fujinaga
Diana Fujinaga began practicing Hatha yoga at the Seattle Holistic Center almost 15 years ago. In 2008, Diana decided to take her part time yoga practice full time and became certified as a teacher at the 200 hour level with Yoga Alliance. Her classes incorporate the many styles of yoga she has practiced over the years which include Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Iyengar, and Restorative. She is a skillful yoga instructor who enjoys utilizing modifications so that poses are accessible to all students no matter their practice level. Her classes also incorporate pranayama and meditation. In each class, she hopes to create a space where students are filled with both effort and ease to work within their capacity. She invites her students to explore possibilities, take chances, and make mistakes always knowing that where they are in their practice is where they should be at that moment. Her greatest hope for her students is that they leave feeling satisfied with the class and with greater peace of mind. She truly believes that the practice of yoga makes the world a kinder, gentler place and a healthier one, too. "The days of our lives, for all of us, are numbered. We know that. And yes, there are certainly times when we aren't able to muster as much strength and patience as we would like. It's called being human. But I have found that in the simple act of living with hope, and in the daily effort to have a positive impact in the world, the days I do have are made all the more meaningful and precious. And for that I am grateful." -- Elizabeth Edwards
Evi Watson
Evi Watson was born and raised in Athens, Greece. She has been practicing yoga since 2000. Evi began her yoga journey with Ashtanga yoga as a way to improve her core strength and flexibility for rock climbing. She moved to Seattle in 2004 and further evolved her yoga practice with a dedication to Vinyasa Flow. Evi is a registered RYT-200 yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance. She received her training through Core Power Yoga in Seattle. In addition, she is a graduate of Baron Baptiste's Teacher Trainings, Level 1 & 2. Her classes are strongly influenced by the Baptiste Power Vinyasa Flow with an emphasis on alignment and breath, in a fun, challenging and relaxing environment. She has also completed workshops with Shiva Rea and Anna Forrest and continues her path as a student first, while sharing her passion for yoga from a place of love, lightness and authenticity. Evi's teaching philosophy is to practice yoga with an open heart and a light spirit with no limitations or judgements. "At its core, yoga has the sole goal of returning our minds to the state of innocence we were created with. While many people embark on their yoga journeys for the physical benefits, the real reward comes when we let go of our day-to-day drama, and remember who we are." - Yoga and the Path of the Urban Mystic.

Jess Jessum
Practicing Warrior 1 & 2 stances for over 35 years in traditional Japanese karate, Jess began to incorporate a formalized system of yoga to help with flexibility and to aid in the relief of lower back pain. After the first class, he knew he had found the perfect complement. Always in pursuit of self-realization arts, Jess understood that Power Vinyasa Yoga offers everything one needs. Classes that work mind and body, a practice that incorporates balance, focus and strength, and an art with an open invitation to make it as spiritual as one wishes, all providing for the perfect 'work-out.' Having completed teacher trainings with Baron Baptiste and Jonathan Bowra, and an extensive hands-on assisting program with Lisa Black (TAP), Jess continues to train daily and absolutely loves the community Yoga provides. He is thrilled to have the opportunity to share his passion with others and provides classes that are challenging and fun!
Julie Gall
Julie took her first yoga class in 1999 and knew right away that yoga would be a lifelong practice. She started teaching yoga in 2008. Julie trained in the YogaWorks method which blends the alignment focus of Iyengar style yoga with the dynamic movement focus of Ashtanga yoga. Julie's classes offer careful instruction and sequences that build on a theme, such as standing poses, inversions or backbends. Having worked as a licensed, clinical social worker, health educator and massage therapist, teaching yoga is a natural fit for Julie. She has a lighthearted style, and she ultimately hopes to help her students manage physical aches and pains as well as mental "clutter" that gets in the way of living a full life. Julie lives in Sammamish with her husband and two boys. She is certified by the Yoga Alliance at the 200-hour level.
Robin Martin
Robin's yoga journey began in May of 2000 when she took her first yoga class. A friend had been urging her to try yoga for years, but she resisted because of her active lifestyle and skepticism of the benefits of yoga versus her gym routine. That first class changed her perception of yoga and she found herself seeking more. Robin found incorporating breath with body movement allowed her to let go of the stresses of daily life. She learned how to apply the simply beauty she found on the mat to her life off of the mat.
Robin is very passionate about her yoga practice and the joy it brings to her life. As a result, she decided to become a yoga teacher to share her knowledge and passion. Robin received her 200 hour Yoga Alliance certification through Tiffany Cruikshank Yoga. In addition to Tiffany, she has studied with Edward Clark, Baron Baptiste, Richard Freeman and Gregor Singleton, to name a few. While her teaching focus is vinyasa yoga, she is contstantly exploring different styles, growing and evolving her own practice. She believes yoga is accessible to anyone willing to take the first step on their own personal yoga journey.
Tracy Ladyman
Tracy was drawn to movement from a very young age through gymnastics and dance. In 1996, after the birth of her son, she discovered Yoga. Throughout the years, she has explored different traditions. Exploration and reflection drove her as a student and ultimately led her to teach. Tracy is registered with Yoga Alliance. She earned her 200hr certificate through YogaWorks and her 500hr certificate under Iyengar certified instructors Theresa Elliott and Kathryn Payne at Pacific Yoga in Seattle. In addition to her continued studies with Theresa Elliott, Tracy studies with Judith Lasater, and has assisted Judith in Canada and the United States. Tracy is a passionate yogini and teacher. She embodies the knowledge that Yoga is, above all else, a spiritual practice that extends well beyond asana and the mat. Tracy's intention is to live and teach with great reverence, compassion, and mindfulness. She is infinitely grateful to all the wonderful teachers, ancient and modern, who have guided her journey along the way. She imparts this wisdom through her classes with an artful blend of alignment, movement, and stillness.
Renee Fitzgerald
Being a lifelong athlete, Renee loves to run, mountain bike, hike and ski. She came to find herself on a yoga mat to prevent injury, but soon realized yoga empowered her with a mental awareness and clarity that she had never experienced before. She felt the need to bring this mind body transformative experience to others, so after practicing yoga for over 10 years, became a yoga teacher. Renee is a 200 hour Yoga Alliance Certified yoga teacher, and is currently a student at UCLA's MARC Institute studying meditation. She has been personally and professionally inspired by attending classes from Seane Corn, Sianna Sherman, Shiva Rae and Baron Baptist. Renee believes yoga is a moving meditation and you will find her classes are fun, challenging and, most importantly, guide you to remember your power and beauty that is within us all. You can find her on Facebook at 'Renee Meena Yoga'.
Jennifer Kelly
Jennifer Kelly has been practicing Yoga since 1997 and teaching since 2009. She is certified through Yoga Alliance at the 500-hour level. She originally came to Yoga to decrease anxiety and reduce stress through calming the mind. Her journey continued as she also practiced therapeutic Yoga to work with injuries. Both of these experiences allowed her many opportunities to heal the mind, body, and spirit through Yoga. She entered a teacher training program in hopes of continuing to deepen her yoga practice. She studied in the Hatha Yoga tradition with Cloud Nine Yoga School in California. The teacher training experience transformed her relationship to Yoga and she came out of the program with a deep desire to help bring Yoga to others. This was the beginning of her journey as a teacher. She primarily teaches Yoga for Beginners, Senior/Chair Yoga, Gentle Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and Yoga for Stress Reduction. As a lifelong learner, she continues to study and looks forward to growing, through practice and study, alongside her students and a supportive yoga community. She recently moved from Southern California to Washington State, and is expanding her yoga practice and teaching to full time. As well, she is studying to become a Health & Nutrition Coach. Jennifer's holds a B.A. in Psychology and an M.S. in Educational Administration. Her background in K-5 Education and Administration brings with it a wealth of teaching experience, to both children and adults. She has been able to transfer her love of teaching from elementary education to one of her true passions, Yoga. In her class, you will use props and receive detailed instruction and modifications to best support your personal practice. As a teacher, she encourages students to listen to their inner wisdom and practice self-nurturing. In addition to asanas (postures) you will receive guided instruction on pranayama (breathing) and many opportunities for meditation. She is grateful for each opportunity she has to stand with a group of students and guide them in their personal Yoga journey.
Lisa Shifler
Lisa Shifler began practicing Yoga in the early 1980's to alleviate pain from low-back injuries and sciatica and always looked at Yoga as a means to stretch and relax the body. Although she was impressed with the natural results she was looking for, Lisa found herself yearning for a more challenging practice. Early 2008, she found herself taking her first Hot Yoga Hatha class and immediately fell in love with the challenge and benefits from the heat and deep postures.
It wasn't long before Lisa completed a 200 hour teacher training certification in Hot Hatha Bikram style Yoga, under the guidance of Ali Valdez and then followed up with another 200 hour certification in Power Vinyasa Hot Yoga training with Linda Burch.. Teaching full-time throughout the greater Seattle area, Lisa now enjoys helping others use Yoga to alleviate pain and achieve fitness goals.
Lisa's Power and Hatha Yoga classes are a flow of breath-synchronized poses designed to build strength, flexibility and balance. It can be vigorous and challenging for experienced yogis, allowing them to build heat and stamina, yet for beginners or those who have injuries or excessive stiffness, modifications are offered. A non-competitive atmosphere is encouraged as well as an internal focus, making the class a meditation in motion.

One more POFQ question please
One reason we love POPis the awesome gift shop!
May sound silly, but how does the POFQ compare?
We love to browse the gift shop during the off hours.
The one at POR is larger. You could walk over to that on if the POFQ one isn't cutting it for you.
The POFQ gift shop is adequte, but didn't have anything we didn't see other places. In 2 stays, I didn't actually buy anything at the gift shop, just looked around when I went in to pick up my packages.
Last 2 stays there, POFQ, gift shop had no fridge nag bets promoting the resort....DTD didn't gave anything either...
Upsetting when you can't get a magnet with the resorts logo you've stayed at...
I agree with previous posters. POFQ's gift shop is not nearly as nice or as large as POR's.

Former Vice President Al Gore criticized both the federal government and companies for collecting too much information from the Internet. He was speaking Tuesday at Southland, a conference of tech entrepreneurs in Nashville.
Al Gore's career has taken him from Tennessee — where he began as a U.S. congressman and senator — to Washington to Silicon Valley. He's now on the board of directors at Apple and previously sat on Google's board.
The former politician praised the Internet as a powerful tool for society. But he said organizations collecting data on how we communicate are a serious threat to democracy, whether it's the NSA or a private business.
"Governments, that's one threat. But businesses are also collecting way more information than they should," he told Sarah Lacy, founder of the tech news site Pando Daily. "We now have a stalker economy, where customers become products."
"But why are people not more outraged about this?" Lacy said. "I am way more scared of everything Google knows about me than what the government knows about me."
"Here's the answer to your question," Gore said. "Every time we, collectively, have had a choice between convenience and privacy-slash-security, we've chosen convenience."
While Google may have been criticized at that point in the conversation, Gore later said he wants to see Google Fiber throughout Tennessee.
Other Conversation Highlights:
- On whether Edward Snowden is a hero or a traitor: "I don't put him in either of those categories, but I'll be candid. … If you set up a spectrum, I'd push it more away from the traitor side, and I'll tell you why. He clearly violated the law, … but what he revealed in the course of violating important laws included violations of the United States constitution that were way more serious than the crimes that he committed."
- On money in politics: "I'm an optimist, where the potential of the Internet is discussed as a way of restoring democracy. Our democracy has been hacked in the United States. It really has been hacked. The operating system has been taken over, and it no longer serves the purposes our founders intended it to serve. … When I went to the Congress, I didn't spend any time raising money — maybe $100,000 in the entire campaign. But now, the average member of Congress has to spend five hours a day, on average, begging rich people for money."
- On the shortcomings of capitalism: "After the Berlin Wall came down and communism collapsed, … [some people] began to say, 'Wait a minute, capitalism's good, it can over some of the decisions that have been made in democracy. And in some areas, that makes some sense. But in other areas, it does not. There are public goods. Education is not going to be adequately provided by the public sector. Public transportation is another example, health care."

The Affordable Care Act1 upholds a major goal to improve quality and population health. To date, major advances have pushed forward concepts and measures in health care quality, focusing primarily on clinical settings.2 However, the development of such quality concepts and measures in the broader arena of public health has lagged behind those in the narrower world of health care. Closing that "quality chasm" first requires developing a basic definition of public health quality as well as identifying aims and priority areas. Recently, we have begun to narrow that gap to move closer toward a public health quality vision of "Building better systems to give all people what they need to reach their full potential for health."3
The need to apply uniform concepts for quality that advance population health started with the 1998 report, Quality First: Better Health Care for Americans.4 This landmark document recommended developing a national culture where quality is valued and supported with a national consensus for aims, priorities, and shared system goals across all sectors of health care. Quality First: Better Health Care for Americans recommended that such elements be embedded into the daily practices of public health and health care organizations. Integrating such systems-thinking approaches could link quality, prevention, treatment, and access to care,3 with a special emphasis on ensuring "equality in quality,"5 as a foundational and not merely an aspirational goal.
In that spirit, in 2008, the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) established the Public Health Quality Forum (Forum) under the direction of the Assistant Secretary for Health. The Forum charged directors of HHS agencies, with input from external stakeholders, to develop basic definitions, aims, and priorities for quality in the public health system as recommended in Quality First: Better Health Care for Americans. Subsequently, the Consensus Statement on Quality in the Public Health System,6 the initial work released by the Forum, offered a formal definition of public health quality as
Quality in the public health system is the degree to which policies, programs, services and research for the population increase desired health outcomes and conditions in which the population can be healthy.
Included also in the Consensus Statement are the following 9 aims representing characteristics of quality required for public health systems:
Population-centered: Protecting and promoting healthy conditions and the health for the entire population
Equitable: Working to achieve health equity
Proactive: Formulating policies and sustainable practices in a timely manner, while mobilizing rapidly to address new and emerging threats and vulnerabilities
Health-promoting: Ensuring policies and strategies that advance safe practices by providers and the population and increase the probability of positive health behaviors and outcomes
Risk-reducing: Diminishing adverse environmental and social events by implementing policies and strategies to reduce the probability of preventable injuries and illness or other negative outcomes
Vigilant: Intensifying practices and enacting policies to support enhancements to surveillance activities (eg, technology, standardization, systems thinking/modeling)
Transparent: Ensuring openness in the delivery of services and practices with particular emphasis on valid, reliable, accessible, timely, and meaningful data that are readily available to stakeholders, including the public
Effective: Justifying investments by utilizing evidence, science, and best practices to achieve optimal results in areas of greatest need
Efficient: Understanding costs and benefits of public health interventions and to facilitate the optimal utilization of resources to achieve desired outcomes
This unified set of quality principles provides a common foundation for advancing quality efforts moving forward.
The Consensus Statement can serve as an initial catalyst for broad engagement of any organization engaged in population-based activities. As an example, the Catholic Health Association recently recognized the applicability of these public health quality concepts to the community benefit and community building activities of tax exempt hospitals.7 Such activities strengthen the bridge between public health and health care.
Furthermore, Rust et al8 noted that linking public health and clinical practices helped achieve major reductions in deaths over a 50-year period. As an example, they show that the 56% reduction in heart disease from 1950 to 2000 can be attributed, in part, to both public health interventions such as blood pressure education and awareness campaigns combined with clinical practices for the treatment of blood pressure in primary care settings. Such heart disease awareness and prevention campaigns, involving both public health agencies and groups such as tax exempt hospitals through community benefit and community building activities, provide evidence of proactive, health-promoting, and risk-reducing activities exemplifying public health quality aims. Effectiveness, a characteristic of public health quality and of patient care as defined by the Institute of Medicine,9 is achieved through these combined activities in public health and health care. Also, the HHS National Strategy for Quality Improvement in Healthcare, released in 2011, also reinforced the value of promoting quality in broad public health arenas as well as in health care.
Another major advance is identifying priority areas that function as primary drivers of public health quality. In November 2010, the Forum released the report Priority Areas for Improvement of Quality in Public Health,2 which are listed as follows:
* population health metrics and information technology;
* evidence-based practices, research, and evaluation;
* policy;
* systems thinking;
* sustainability and stewardship; and
* workforce and education.
With this publication, the field of public health quality has evolved in reaching a common definition, aims, and priority areas. Together, they provide an early framework for identifying and eliminating gaps between public health and health care, and for aligning organizational, local, state, and national goals for public health.3
Sustaining forward momentum in public health quality now requires the development of quality management systems that include methods for quality assessment, assurance, and improvement. This special issue of the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice begins to explore these issues by reporting and analyzing key quality improvement efforts in state and local health departments across the nation. These efforts document how public health organizations around the country are beginning to make progress. The application of quality concepts to such improvement activities ensures capacity across the system to
* recognize the value of public health quality,
* develop and implement standards,
* set goals consistent with the public health quality aims,
* increase transparency and stewardship,
* collect and analyze valid data across all levels of the system,
* identify weaknesses, and
* make measurable improvements.
In this issue, some investigators (Harrison et al, Wright et al, Davis et al, Cornett et al, Ramaswamy et al, Randolph et al, Morrow et al, and Joly et al) provide further insight on the quality aims and priority areas (ie, effective, research, risk reducing, sustainability, workforce training) and focus on the need to advance the culture of quality and build better systems. Still others (Madamala et al and Matthews et al) analyze system readiness and policies for agency accreditation as a mechanism to improve quality.
Advancing this new field involves furthering research, making these public health quality concepts concrete, useful, and applicable. Organizations that achieve success when the concepts are applied to improve health outcomes must be publicly recognized and rewarded. Tying the quality concepts to appropriate HHS public health funding opportunities is also a high priority. Equally important is the development of tools where professionals can access evidence-based strategies and quality measures linked to the concepts. Ongoing efforts include an upcoming book describing the concepts and demonstrating the value to public health and health care as well as teaching materials being developed for wide distribution.
The US Department of Health and Human Services is pleased to be part of these efforts. In collaboration with many other stakeholders and both traditional and nontraditional partners, we all share the goals to bridge the quality gap between health care and public health, further health quality for all people, and make the nation healthier in the future.

Fire and Iceland
Anna Harvie discovered that there's a lot more to Iceland than fire and ice, no matter what time of year you travel…
"Iceland is not only closer than you think, but far different than you ever imagined. Iceland is an independent democratic republic with a short but colorful history, with its own language and rich cultural heritage, especially in literature. With absolutely unique nature, this is a land of ice and fire with active volcanoes, spouting geysers, extensive lava fields and deserts, waterfalls, mountains and more. Around every corner there is something new and interesting.
Prague's golden nightingale
Avid bird watchers in the Czech Republic are keen to spot a white stork or saker falcon, but to track down the golden nightingale you will need to look in theatres and music halls or turn on the radio, as Intrepid's Stefan Hellmuth explains…
"Pilsner beer, Bohemian dumplings and Prague citizen Karel Gott are arguably the most well-known exports of the Czech Republic, even though the enjoyment of all three is ultimately a question of taste. I am sure I don't need to tell you much about beer and hopefully you get to sample the delicious dumplings yourself, but too little is known about the extraordinary singer Karel Gott.
Move to the beat of Morocco
Marathon effort in Croatia
Everyone knows that to compete in a marathon you need to do a lot of training. But unfortunately for Intrepid's Alex Kewley, he had no prior warning that he was about to undertake an unusual Slavonian style festival-cum-sporting event…
"I had timed my Balkan adventure perfectly. I stepped off the train from Zagreb in Osijek and was greeted by my good friend Ivan, with news that I was in time for Surduk.
Nepal's night of Shiva
There are those precious moments on our travels when we stumble across an amazing local festival. For Angela Greco that powerful experience remains one of her fondest memories…
"The most unforgettable festival experience I have had was Maha Shivaratri Festival in Nepal. A Kathmandu friend took us southwest of Boudhanath to the great Pashupatinath Temple, where devotees flock from all over Nepal and India.
Travel filming tips from Russ Malkin
Russ Malkin, adventure television producer extraordinaire, rose to fame behind the camera on popular TV series Long Way Round and Long Way Down, starring adventurer Charley Boorman and actor Ewan McGregor. He's currently working on a new project, Charley Boorman's South Africa, which hits screens in the new year.
Russ hosted an event, "How to Film Your Own Adventure", in the London Intrepid My Adventure Store this week, and gave us his ultimate hints and tips on how to record your travels on film. Here, we give you the lowdown on the best way to immortalise your experience on cellulose (or, more likely, hard disk. But that doesn't sound half as romantic, does it!).
Zanzibar's spice of life
With its picturesque beaches and beautiful blue waters, Ashok Solanki discovers that there are few more delectable places to unwind than the exotic 'Spice Island' of Zanzibar…
"One can smell the spices in the air, even though the island itself is still not in sight. It is said that in the old days pilots followed the scent of the spices to locate this tiny speck in the Indian Ocean. The ferry from Dar es Salaam takes just over 2 hours, but when you land on Zanzibar you step back in time to an, as yet, unspoilt and little-known paradise.
Heart and soul of the Galapagos
The 19 islands that make up the Galapagos archipelago are a genuinely unique travel experience. From amazing encounters with rare wildlife, to meeting locals who cling to their ancestral traditions, Intrepid's Cara Brown discovered that these equatorial islands have a way of changing the way you think about our world…
"Crystal clear water, the sand between my toes and a hard-earned beer in my hands… welcome to the Galapagos Islands, situated 1000km west from the coast of Ecuador. It is my 2nd day on the beautiful island of Isabela and she is seducing us in every way. Let me start off by telling you that the Galapagos is not your average island getaway. As my eyes focus on the landscape that surrounds me I take in everything; white sandy beaches, volcanic rock, sentinel-looking cacti and lush farming lands.
Brazil's big city of fun
Brazil is a country that inspires your sense of fun and adventure more than most. Its lively city of Rio de Janeiro is one big sensory overload, so Intrepid's Angela Zuniga loved feeling, smelling and tasting her way around this fantastic town…
"Rio is a sensual city that demands as much time as possible to be fully experienced. From dawn to dusk and after dark, there is always something happening somewhere. I spent five fantastic days exploring the city and sating my sense of adventure.
Impressions of Iguazu
Mother Nature puts on one of her most impressive performances at Iguazu and Paul McMahon recalls the special day when he got to experience the might of the falls for himself…
"My most memorable national park experience was at Iguazu Falls, Argentina. What made this so remarkable was the pleasure in being so close to one of the most spectacular waterfalls on this planet.

I would think unloaded locked in a case without any ammo in the same case and perhaps locked in it's own case and then in the trunk should satisfy any laws for purely traveling through any state .
O and I would make sure I obey the traffic laws like speed and using signals to change lanes , no sense in making the move any more expensive than it has to be .
I am fairly sure a Safe Passage law was passed and signed that will keep you out of legal trouble following the locked in cases advice .
Double check the law's, State and Federal. I know there is a provision which allows the transport of long guns during a move to another state, but as far as I know, transporting a handgun across state lines is still a federal crime. You may have to have them shipped to an FFL holder at your destination state. Of course if it was me I would just lock them up separate from the ammo and drive very carefully.
Most states have a safe transport law for people wanting to take weapons across their state even handguns. Your main concern would be NJ law about transporting them sense NJ is a lot stricter then most states about handguns.
I'm also from N.J. and I too moved to F.L.
Just lock them in a case and come on down. You can even transport them on a plane "I did this visiting N.J. last winter." Obviously not on you; you need an airline approved case, and you need to check it as baggage; call ahead of time and let them know.
Florida's laws are much less strict. You don't have to register your firearms. And, having one in you car is simple even without a concealed permit. You can carry a loaded firearm in your car, it just has to be out of reach or in a case "also can be wrapped in a shirt or just a paper bag, etc..."
Gents- I don't MEAN to sound surly- but PLEASE don't offer legal advice if you don't know. Transport of a handgun across a state line is NOT a Federal crime in and of itself. Law of the US is attached as a c&p from US Code. You may also SHIP your own firearms to yourself (UPS or FedX) but handguns are really expensive to ship. LONG guns may be MAILED to yourself- but only an 01 FFL dealer, certain Fed officials, or a licensed mfgr can mail a handgun. But you can also case the unloaded weapon, place in the trunk, lock it. As long as possession of that firearm is legal at both ends of your trip, you are good to go. attachment:
Title 18, US Code
Sec. 926A. Interstate transportation of firearms
Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver's compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.
Well, if it's not known for certain, it's always better to err on the side of caution. Hell, half the cops don't know what the laws are, and that being the case, if you get stopped and searched at the very least you will have a long and unpleasant delay in your trip, and at the worst, you will be arrested. Many years ago I called the NY State Police to ask if it was legal to shoot a BP revolver without a permit. After all, I could legally purchase one and all the components to shoot it without a permit...They told me they thought it was ok, but weren't sure. They were wrong - it isn't legal without a permit, and even a BP revolver has to be listed on the permit if I wish to shoot it. State laws supercede federal laws when you are in that state. I don't think NJ would take kindly to me driving through their state with my AR-15 or handguns.
Agreed! It's getting to the point where you have to be a damned lawyer to know where you can legally travel!

UPS, Fed Ex fail to deliver on time
Rochester, N.Y.-- They boast reliable shipping. Yet when Christmas time rolled around, many UPS trucks did not. The company simply failed to get many gifts to where they needed to go.
The company blames bad weather, a jump in online orders, and a shorter holiday season.
We spoke to JJ Lang from the Rochester area. He and his wife ordered a gift for his in-laws: A unique frame for an original picture of the brewery they owned. It was supposed to arrive Saturday.
FedEx never showed up on Saturday, they never showed up with the frame and the box of goodies I ordered.
Lang had to make a last minute dash to stores on Christmas Eve, to find what he needed. And while Lang can sympathize with the company, saying that things happen, he adds hes more disappointed with the response he was given.
I didnt even get an answer. Not even a hey we're looking or we don't know, Nothing. So that kind of bothers me, Lang said.
Hell most likely send the items back to the sender. And learned a lesson for the next holiday season.
I'm going to start ordering not so close to Christmas.

Zandro WH
For Sale: $25,000 USD - Dutch Warmblood - FEI Dressage Candidate for Pro, Competitive AA,YR
I am often asked why Zandro is behind in his training with the biggest question, was it due to soundness reasons....
In short, no. I purchased Zandro as a late 7 year old from his breeder. Over the last few years he has been in a training program part time, regretfully due to clientele priorities. My vision when purchasing him was to develop him into an FEI horse over a 4-5 year course and then sell. Unfortunately, my timeline derailed. Zandro will catch up quickly if you have the time and training resources to invest into his progression. He is 100% sound and no history of lameness.
He has a kind and lovable personality and is enjoyable to work on a daily basis. He is a reporte kind of horse, once established he enjoys to hack out and is very easy to work around.
Zandro is best suited for a professional, ambitious AA or YR who is looking for an FEI prospect.
Registered with the NA/KWPN, Zandro earned a First Place premium grading nationwide at a NA/KWPN kuering held in Virginia in 2004. Zandro was also one of three DHH youngsters whose placings earned Windholme Farm its "Renai Breeder of the Year" status in 2004. Zandro is USDF Lifetime Registered.
Offered at $25,000

Feds doing 1st investigation of major meatpackers
LINCOLN, Neb. The federal government is conducting its first investigation into whether the handful of large meatpackers that slaughter most of the nation's cattle are illegally or unfairly driving down cattle prices, according to an official representing independent beef producers nationwide.
The investigation is under way as the Justice and Agriculture Departments hold a series of antitrust hearings on competition in agriculture, and the USDA is expected to release sweeping antitrust rules covering the meat industry this spring.
Many ranchers and critics of the meatpacking industry are cautiously hopeful the investigation and more aggressive action by a little-known federal agency will force meatpackers to competitively bid for more cattle. That, they say, could help slow a 15-year trend in which several thousand ranchers are forced out of business every year, resulting in the smallest U.S. cow herd in several decades and threatening a way of life that has kept the nation supplied with beef for more than a century.
Bill Bullard, chief executive officer of R-CALF USA, said the federal Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration has been speaking with his group's members for months and is "clearly asking questions in the context of an investigation."
"They appear to be doing a very comprehensive investigation of the overall behavior of meatpackers in the cattle market," Bullard said, adding he believes a main reason for the investigation is to gather information to help craft new rules.
The administrator of GIPSA wouldn't say whether the agency was investigating the so-called "Big Four" meatpackers - Tyson Foods, JBS, Cargill and National Beef - who together slaughter about 80 percent of U.S. beef.
But administrator J. Dudley Butler said GIPSA is being more aggressive in enforcing the Packers and Stockyards Act and investigations are part of that.
"I will acknowledge that what we're doing at GIPSA now is trying to ... enforce the Packers and Stockyards Act, and it's done in many ways, it's done through investigations, it's done through oversight, it's done through interagency working relationships," such as with the U.S. Department of Justice, Butler said.
The nation's largest meatpackers bought about half of their cattle on the cash market in 2008, according to GIPSA. In that market, feedlots notify meatpackers cattle are for sale and receive bids for the animals.
But, the largest companies have increasingly avoided that market in recent years, buying more cattle through prearranged deals with individual feedlots or ranchers, Butler said.
Critics say that with the biggest companies buying fewer cattle on the cash market, prices have dropped, hurting smaller feedlots and ranchers who don't have deals with the large meatpackers.
Cash market prices have decreased by about 5 percent over the past two decades, said Robert Taylor, a professor of agricultural economics at Auburn University.
The 89-year-old Packers and Stockyards Act is meant to ensure fair competition and protect farmers and ranchers from discriminatory, monopolistic practices by meatpackers. But ranchers say it has long been ignored, and a 2006 federal audit concluded GIPSA had avoided complex investigations.

#Instagram Diary: Groote Post, Groote Delight
Monday 23 September, 2013, saw me heading out of the Mother City along the West Coast road and bouncing in a mini van through the veld towards the Darling Hills where, between the Kapokberg on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, lies a gem of a wine farm called Groote Post.
My Good Food & Wine Show experience in Instagram
I confess this was my first visit to the Good Food & Wine Show in a long time. With more than 200 stands in the vast CTICC venue over four days from Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 May, 2013, I was amazed at the event's growth over the last few years. The stalls, some far more fabulous than others in both product and appearance, offered everything from food and wine to everything in between that relates to the home.

As far as having to make or find costumes on last minute when you offered to help long ago, I hope you just said that it wasn't enough time for you to do it now.
Now I happen to work a block from a men's homeless shelter--and I'm wondering how homeless people actually dress?
|Tue, 08-09-2011 - 12:24pm
Well, since the play/show deals with themes of homelessness, and since the older kids <<< didn't choose the "dress like a homeless person".
|Tue, 08-09-2011 - 9:34pm
You're not blowing things out of proportion at all. As you correctly assumed, it's not about getting to dress a certain way, it's about mocking a group of human beings. This is offensive, and doesn't teach kids anything. The mature ones will be uncomfortable with the theme and feel conflicted; the less mature ones will have great fun putting on shabby clothes. What does that teach anyone other than to perpetuate a shallow stereotype?
The irony is that many homeless people dress like everyone else. We just hosted 3 homeless families at our church fo the past few weeks and there was nothing in the way they dressed that made them stand out.
Let your DD fight this battle. She and her friends can wear nice dresses or whatever, and then just tell everyone that, yes, this is what some homeless teens wear. That would be a good lesson for the younger kids and some of the adults to learn.
|Wed, 08-10-2011 - 7:36pm
Update, a number of the kids (including dd and her friend) talked with the leaders about thinking the theme was inappropriate.
