Expert Advice for ACO Success: Gain Consensus on Metrics and Use High Quality Healthcare Data for Better Patient Care
It's amazing how often Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are in the news. This Fierce Healthcare article, Maps of 2012 Medicare Accountable Care Organizations, states that ACOs are "the biggest change to Medicare in decades." This Forbes' article, Obamacare's Accountable Care Approach Reaches 1 in 10 in US, reveals that "more than 2.4 million Medicare beneficiaries will be receiving care from more than 150 ACOs that have signed up to participate."
But what do ACOs need to deliver on their promise of giving coordinated high quality care to Medicare patients at the right time, avoiding unnecessary services and preventing medical errors?
Healthcare industry experts agree on two basics required for ACO success. At a minimum, physicians, hospitals and healthcare providers need:
1) consensus on ACO success metrics to measure performance, and
2) access to timely, high quality healthcare data to better manage patient care and track performance.
Without an agreed upon set of ACO success metrics and better healthcare data management, how can ACOs better manage patients and identify and monitor at-risk patients? Without these basics, how can they improve patient experience, outcomes and healthcare costs?
Bridging the gap and reaching consensus on ACO metrics is one of the greatest challenges for ACOs. The good news is there are experts who can help. Please join us on Wednesday January 23rd for a live Let's Talk Healthcare Webinar: Bridging the Gap: Reaching Consensus on ACO Metrics. Three healthcare experts:
- Senthil Balasubramanian, Manager of Decision Support at University of Pennsylvania Health System
- Maury DePalo, Director of Edgewater's Healthcare Practices
- Richard Cramer, Informatica's Healthcare Strategist
will talk about gaining consensus on ACO metrics, monitoring metrics, making adjustments as needed, and leveraging high quality healthcare data to better manage patient care, healthcare costs and performance.
This is the third live webinar in a three-part series: Let's Talk Healthcare with Informatica and Edgewater:

Manufacturing Defects
Mohawk Industries, Inc. ("Manufacturer") hereby warrants to the original buyer ("Buyer"), the goods to be free from manufacturing defects for as long as you own your home. Hardwood is a natural product and may have naturally occurring blemishes. The owner/installer of a Mohawk Hardwood Floor must use reasonable selectivity and hold out or cut off objectionable naturally occurring blemishes.
Finish Warranty
The Mohawk Hardwood finish is warranted against wear through or lack of finish adhesion. See product sample or your retailer for duration of warranty on specific products.
This warranty is conditioned upon Manufacturer's receipt of notice in writing from the Buyer of the alleged defect prior to expiration of the limited warranty period and evidence that the Products were properly installed and not subject to any of the conditions described below.
Additional warranties exclusively for Prefinished Engineered and Longstrip Floors
Structure Warranty
Mohawk Industries, Inc. hereby warrants to the original buyer of Mohawk engineered and longstrip wood flooring products, that, under normal use, the plies will not separate for as long as you own your home.
Moisture Warranty
Mohawk Industries, Inc. hereby warrants to the original buyer of Mohawk engineered and longstrip wood flooring products against moisture damage due to topical spills or subfloor moisture under certain conditions for as long as you own your home.
Topical spills of normal household substances (food and beverage) must be removed promptly. Topical spills allowed to remain on the floor for any considerable time will damage the floor and void this warranty. Flooring must be installed following the Mohawk installation instructions. Plumbing accidents, leaking appliances (icemakers, dishwashers, clothes washers, etc.) are not topical spills and are not covered by our warranty.
Subfloor moisture, particularly from concrete slabs, is covered by this warranty under the following conditions: 1. The floor must be visibly dry immediately prior to installation. 2. The installation method used is the direct glue down application. 3. The installer must use Mohawk Professional Choice adhesive to install the Mohawk engineered wood floor. 4. The installer follows the Mohawk installation instructions and the instructions specified on the packaging of the Mohawk Professional Choice adhesive.
If the floor fails due to the incursion of moisture from the subfloor, Mohawk Industries will replace the damaged material at no cost to the "Buyer" one time only. This includes material only. Labor is excluded from this warranty and labor costs must be incurred by the "Buyer". Please note that this applies to engineered and longstrip wood only. The solid wood products are not approved for direct glue applications.
This limited warranty does not apply to Cabin grade or other downgraded or discontinued items. Any such Product or Products are sold "as is". MANUFACTURER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WHATSOEVER.
Any and all representatives, promises, warranties or statements by Manufacturer or its agents that differ in any manner from the terms of this limited warranty shall be of no force or effect unless in writing, signed by a duly authorized officer of Manufacturer.
Limitations on Liability
Buyer's exclusive remedy and Manufacturer's sole liability on any claim, whether in tort, contract, or breach of warranty, shall be limited to the repair or replacement of the defective goods for the affected area only which are proven to Manufacturer's satisfaction to be defective in manufacture or the refund of the applicable purchase price. In no event and for no cause whatsoever, including any breach or default by Manufacturer, shall Manufacturer have any other liability (including without limitation incidental or consequential damages) or any monetary liability to Buyer in excess of the contract price or prices of the pertinent Products in question. If Manufacturer shall elect to repair or replace said Products which are in proven defective. All charges should be submitted to the Customer Relations Department for evaluation and review.
While our warranty is excellent, there are some limits to it. Any of the following shall void and invalidate our warranty
Visible Defect
Visible defects are those defects which are apparent on the face of the flooring. They must be noted by the installer and reported before installation so that replacement flooring can be furnished before installation
Building Settling or Uneven Subfloor
These situations are considered to be part of the pre-installation inspection process. Do not install wood flooring if these situations exist. This warranty does not cover damage caused by settling or uneven subfloors.
Improper Installation
Improper installations, done in a way that is contrary to the specifications, can cause problems with a Mohawk floor. Manufacturer will not replace a floor with defects caused by improper installation.
Improper Maintenance or Inadequate Care
Your Mohawk floor requires maintenance. Please follow the instructions that are recommended by Mohawk. Seller will not replace a Mohawk product damaged by improper maintenance or inadequate care.

Indentations from Stiletto Heels on Shoes
A stiletto heal can concentrate as much as 2,000 pounds per square inch on the floor. This type of heel has a diameter of approximately 3/8", and walking on any wood surface with stiletto heels is considered an abusive situation. Seller will not replace any Mohawk Product damaged by stiletto heels on shoes.
Problems with Moisture or Dryness
This warranty does not cover damage caused by wetting or the presence of excessive moisture, or by conditions that are too dry.

My fiancée and I loved this place! The owner (Brigid) was very personable and we felt as if we could have talked to her for days. I enjoyed how quiet the hotel was due to the location (10-15 minute drive from Killarney). Breakfast was very tasty.
Nice amenities, clean room, friendly staff!
Long walk from city center, and a ton of purple in the room
The staff was very accomondating. They help with big up & knew a great deal about where to go for food & anything else. The room was very nice.
The staff are wonderful - ver helpful and friendly. The breakfasts are very good - nice variety of selections. The location is great. The rooms are kept spotless.
Only one complaint - the mattresses are comfortable, but the beds are made with a bottom sheet and a down comforter. This was too warm for me. It would be nice to get a top sheet or light blanket.
Great location to the Ring of Kerry and the town center. Very informative and helpful staff. The room was large, big bed, and very clean.

SLU Professor Edits Pioneering Bioethics Journal
New Journal Gives Voice to Those Affected by Ethics Questions
A new medical journal, edited by a Saint Louis University faculty member, is seeking to put a face on ethical debates about health care, human research and health policy. The first-of-its-kind, Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics will explore current issues in bioethics through personal stories or narratives, case studies and qualitative research studies.
|James M. DuBois, Ph.D., DSc.
Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics is edited by James M. DuBois, Ph.D., DSc, director of the Bander Center for Medical Business Ethics at Saint Louis University, and Ana Iltis, Ph.D., director of the Center for Bioethics, Health & Society at Wake Forest University. It is published by the Johns Hopkins University Press and available electronically through Project MUSE.
According to DuBois, the personal narratives are what set the journal apart from other bioethics journals. These personal stories will address the experiences of patients, research participants,health care workers and researchers.
"We will invite people to tell us their stories in their own words. In contrast to most qualitative research, they are the authors and they get to choose which 2,000 words they want to tell. This is a socially important project; we're giving a voice to people who have typically not had a voice in these important ethical debates," DuBois said.
"In bioethics we often talk about cases, choices, people and issues, yet we rarely hear directly from many of the central players. Clinical ethics consultants and health care providers may hear firsthand accounts, but those personal stories rarely reach the rest of us. Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics allows all of us to develop a richer understanding of the experiences that lie behind our academic concerns," Iltis said.
The first issue, which was published this fall, featured 13 different firsthand accounts of patients' experiences with psychiatric hospitalization, as well as two commentaries from ethicists with personal experiences with psychiatric hospitalization.
Some of the stories highlighted severe mistreatment of patients within these treatment centers. Other patient stories focused on the opportunities for personal growth. Charles W. Lidz, research professor of psychiatry at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, edited the first issue's narrative symposium. In his introduction, he said, "Except for abortion, it is hard to think of another part of the health care system that is more controversial (than psychiatric hospitalization)."
Future issues will address how financial relationships affect medical practice and research, living organ donation and the role of nursing assistants in long-term care.
"Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics is the most original idea I have seen for a journal in decades." Lidz said. "Everyone agrees that respect for persons is a critical component of ethical behavior but somehow most of our journals are focused on the perspectives of academics, not the people who experience the difficult bioethical dilemmas. The journal is giving a voice to everyone who plays a role in health care. It is a long overdue innovation."
The editorial board for Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics is comprised of leaders in the fields of clinical ethics, narrative bioethics and qualitative research.
"Bioethics research can have very little to do with the real world. Our unofficial slogan is 'research meets real life'," DuBois said. "My hopes for this journal are that it will start conversations across fields, shed light on perspectives that are often forgotten in bioethical discussions, and increase compassion among health care providers. Ultimately, I hope this will work to improve policies regarding how we treat and care for patients."
Inquiries or submissions to the journal should be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

making a splash in their first season in the Southeastern Conference, the
Aggies of Texas A&M faced an old Big 12 foe in the AT&T Cotton Bowl in
the Oklahoma Sooners. Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback
Johnny Manziel picked up right where he left off in the regular season, racking
up over 500 total yards to help Texas A&M down OU by a final score of 41-13
in Dallas.
found the end zone on a pair of rushing touchdowns in the first half, but two
field goals from Oklahoma's
Michael Hunnicut and a six-yard score from Justin Brown kept the Sooners within
one point at the break. But after the half, it was all Aggies.
A&M running back Ben Malena struck first in the third quarter with a
seven-yard touchdown scamper, which Trey Williams followed up with a 30-yard
scoring run of his own. Later in the third, Manziel found Ryan Swope on the
outside for a 33-yard score, before capping the scoring early in the fourth on
another bomb to Uzoma Nwachukwu for the touchdown.
Aggies stymied the Sooners after the half, holding quarterback Landry Jones and
company off the scoreboard in the final 30 minutes of action. Manziel dazzled
as he had all season long, wrapping up the game with 516 total yards – 287
through the air and an FBS bowl record 229 yards on the ground – to go along
with four total touchdowns, capping off his Heisman season in dramatic fashion.
Official 2013 AT&T Cotton Bowl combo pack includes the commercial-free game
broadcast on DVD and Blu-ray as well as the trophy presentation. It is a
great addition to any fan's collection!

The legend asscociated with off-piste in the Chamonix valley was born on the confines of the glaciers, there where the slopes seem to go on forever.
The Valley Blanche, the Pas de Chevre, the Rognons glacier, so many fabulous names and places that, each year, attract the elite from the « planet freeride » !
The most famous off-piste descent is doubtless the Valley Blanche, accessed via the Aiguille du Midi cable car and offering several variants: the normal Valley, the Petit Envers du Plan or the Grand Envers du Plan. This glacial route is very popular in early spring, but is nethertheless a high-mountain intinerary and the presence of a mountain guide is strongly recommended.
Be sure to pay attention to snow conditions and to the weather forecast. Avalanche search device, probe and shovel are indispensable. In the mountains, one must be aware.
More information : Office de Haute Montagne
In Chamonix, ski touring has always been associated with discovering and rediscovering the mountains. It is practiced throughout the winter, but especially in the spring when the conditions are optimal. There are numerous possibilities departing from the valley, not least the famous « Haute Route » which links Chamonix with Zermatt in Switzerland -5 unforgettable days across the Alps.
The day tours are accessed essentially from the top stations of the Grands Montets or the Flegere and they are of varying difficulty, so ideal for getting initiated with this wonderful sport. Ski touring necessitates a good knowledge of mountain and snow conditions. It is strongly recommended that you begin with a high mountain guide.

Midwest Living Review
The swashbuckling French founder of Medora, who named the fledgling Western town after his wife, didn't stay in western North Dakota long, but he packed a lot of living into the few years he spent here. He opened a slaughterhouse and a stagecoach that ran to Deadwood, South Dakota, ran a household that required 12-15 servants, and hosted guests in lavish hunting parties. The home where the Marquis and his wife lived still contains many of the original furnishings, and eager docents stationed throughout the property will answer questions and explain how the couple lived. Tours begin on the wraparound front porch and lead into the dining room, which showcases the lavish place settings typical for aristocrats of that time. Stops in the kitchen and servants' rooms include lessons on cooking and food prep for the time (10-course meals were typical when guests were visiting), while the bedrooms include personal grooming artifacts. A stop in the hunting room includes photographs of the Marquis and Medora dressed for the occasion (she was considered a better shot than he, even riding sidesaddle) and trunks used to transport their clothing and gear (one trunk per outfit!). The home is a natural stop for history buffs visiting Medora, and the tour definitely gives you an appreciation for the adventurous spirits who made their way out west 140 years ago. Admission charged.

Brake failure causes Magic Mountain shut-downBy Christian Avard
Staff Writer | January 03,2013Provided photo
Skiers and snowboarders make their way uphill New Year's Day at Magic Mountain after the ski area's red lift broke down.LONDONDERRY — A faulty emergency brake shut down Magic Mountain's only operating chair lift, resulting in $75,000 in lost revenues for the 3½ days the ski area was down Saturday through Tuesday, Magic Mountain officials said.
Magic Mountain's "red" chairlift was shut down Saturday due to a lack of torque on a re-start and an emergency brake failure. The red chairlift was carrying up to 350 skiers and riders at the time of the breakdown.
The cable moved two feet in reverse before the second emergency brake kicked in, stopping it from going farther, the resort said. All skiers and riders on the lift were taken safely to the summit and the lift was shut down.
Magic Mountain President Jim Sullivan said no one was in danger when the emergency brake failed.
"We were operating with one chair and our one chair ran into a problem that was not discoverable until it happened," Sullivan said. "We were left high and dry."
The red chairlift is a Heron-Poma double chairlift that has been in operation since 1970. It is Magic Mountain's longest chair lift, about 5,400 feet long. It had just passed inspection, according to Steve Monahan of the state Department of Labor's Passenger Tramway Safety Division.
Neither Sullivan nor Monahan could explain what caused the first emergency brake to fail. They both said brake failures are an anomaly at Vermont ski areas and can be fixed in an efficient manner when they do occur.
Magic Mountain was unable to reopen for the rest of the weekend because the "black" chairlift, Magic Mountain's other double chairlift, had not passed inspection and Magic Mountain had to order a new brake for the red lift from a company in Michigan.
Sullivan said the part arrived on New Year's Day and was replaced Wednesday. The replacement brake cost Magic Mountain about $12,000.
He expects Magic Mountain to reopen Saturday, once the chair lift passes a rigorous inspection.
"After the installation, we're going to do a full load test just to make sure there is absolutely no problems whatsoever," Sullivan said. "The hurtful part of this was that it was fabulous skiing with the new snow and we were making snow more than we had in the past. The mountain was looking great, But we'll live to fight another day."
New Year's is one of Magic Mountain's most important holiday weekends of the ski and snowboard season. The others are Christmas, Martin Luther King, and President's Day weekends.

FREDERIKA, Iowa - Two men suspected of robbing a bank and shooting two law enforcement officers during an hourlong chase were apprehended just north of Frederika shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday, according to Iowa State Patrol spokesman Bob Conrad.
"They were arrested without incident, no shots fired. That's a good outcome compared with the way things looked earlier today," Conrad said.
The men, whose names won't be released until Wednesday, were apprehended when they tried to crawl through a perimeter about three-fourths mile north of town on County Road D5C, he said. "It was good police work on the part of some Waterloo police officers who heard something and investigated," Conrad said.
More than 50 officers participated in the manhunt that began early Tuesday afternoon following the robbery of the Maynard Savings Bank at 11:13 a.m.
After shooting a State Patrol officer and the Sumner police chief, the white male suspects abandoned their vehicle at a quarry west of here and disappeared into a wooded area, according to Jessica Lown, a spokeswoman for the Iowa Department of Public Safety.
The wounded officers are Sumner Police Chief Dennis Cain and Mark Domino, a state trooper stationed at Mason City.
Conrad said Cain is in stable but critical condition following surgery for wounds to his neck, thumb and hand. "His wounds are no longer considered life threatening," Conrad said while announcing the arrests at a Tuesday evening press conference.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Chief Cain and his family. That's all I can tell you," said Sumner Mayor Gary Walke.
Domino, a 30 year veteran of the State Patrol, was treated for a through-and-through wound to his right bicep and released, Conrad said.
Lown said a 2-mile-square perimeter had been established west of town, and officers from multiple agencies, including the FBI and the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, participated in the search. Before dark, search officers had eliminated all potential hiding areas west of the Wapsipinicon River.
Two Iowa State Patrol tactical teams cleared buildings and other potential hideouts within the search area, according to Conrad. Just before sundown a helicopter from the Minnesota State Patrol joined the search.
Conrad said the search team had enough observers to prevent the suspects from getting through the perimeter unseen. Officers both on the ground and in aircraft had night vision equipment, he said. Two airplanes, one with a heat-sensing unit, participated in the search.
Lown said no shots were fired at the bank and no one was injured.
Officers identified the vehicle and pursued it until 12:20 p.m., when the suspects abandoned it and fled on foot, she said.
People living within the search perimeter were advised to lock their doors and remove keys from vehicles.
Dena Gray-Fisher, a spokeswoman for the Iowa Department of Transportation, said DOT enforcement officers joined the pursuit and one of their vehicles was shot but none of the DOT officers was injured. The Iowa State Patrol had earlier stated that a DOT officer had been shot.
Several area school districts in several counties were on lockdown or heightened vigilance. According to the website of the New Hampton School District, in Chickasaw County, the sheriff's office ordered a precautionary lockdown but there was no immediate danger in the district.
More information is expected to be released on Wednesday.

Turbo kits are comparatively rare, when compared with the plethora of supercharger systems on the market. That's because, unlike most bolt-on blowers, which easily can be adapted to a variety of vehicles, turbo kits present unique challenges. There's more to contend with in the routing of inlet and outlet tubing between the exhaust manifolds, turbocharger(s), and engine intake.
At a minimum, major changes are required of the exhaust system. Of course, all that plumbing changes for a different vehicle, whereas adapting a Roots blower, for example, requires comparatively minor revisions to suit the accessory drive and intercooler mounting.
To put it simply, turbo kits are expensive to engineer and produce, but many enthusiasts prefer the higher-rpm application of power, the adjustability of the performance, and the on-demand power that doesn't compromise daily driving characteristics. Often, enthusiasts must rely on custom-designed systems-and hope the shop they've entrusted their car with knows what it's doing.
Decatur, Indiana-based Lingenfelter Per-formance Engineering's (LPE) solution to turbo systems is a hybrid of sorts, which blends the attributes of a fully engineered kit with the precision fitment of a custom system. The company has designed Corvette-specific kits, but it fits them individually to each vehicle for a more accurate and precise installation-much like a custom-tailored suit versus a "close enough" off-the-rack one. LPE also rebuilds the engine to make it boost-friendly, including forged-aluminum, lower-compression pistons and an upgraded rotating assembly.
"There are enough vehicle-to-vehicle variances that we feel our method is the best at ensuring the best installation and a more robust engine," says LPE's Jeff Myers. "And typically one of the side benefits is, most customers report better fuel economy in normal everyday driving."
We recently visited LPE's shop to follow the installation of the company's twin-turbo system on a C6 Z06. In fact, it was the blue Specter Werkes/Sports GTR Z06 that wowed SEMA attendees last fall and was previewed in VETTE earlier this year. With the 505hp LS7 as the foundation, LPE rates the system at a stunning 800 hp. Notably, the kit sacrifices nothing in driveability, such as air conditioning, power amenities, and the like.
LPE's system uses a pair of medium-size Garrett ball-bearing turbos and an air-to-air intercooler. The turbos are mounted low in the engine compartment, which helps minimize underhood heat. The mid-size hairdryers also offer an optimum combination of tremendous airflow and minimal lag. In fact, lag is, for all intents and purposes, nonexistent here. The turbos spool quickly and deliver a smooth yet incredibly forceful application of power.
Here are the basic elements of the system: • Two Garrett GT30-series turbochargers • Custom exhaust manifolds • Custom air-to-air charge cooler • Upgraded fuel system • Kenne Bell Boost-A-Bump • Upgraded oil cooler • Custom oil-scavenging system • Custom Corsa/Specter Werkes low-restriction exhaust system • Reprogrammed factory controller.
Although boost in any turbo system is tunable, the base LPE system delivers about 10-12 pounds to help the 7.0-liter engine produce 800 horses. The turbo system isn't installed until after the rebuilt engine is lowered into place. We should note, too, that our photos provide an overview of the installation. There are far more details than we have room to show, but what we've shown here provides an excellent glimpse into the major components and procedures involved.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Fire destroys sugarhouse during Sunday night stormBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | December 31,2013PHOTO By LEN EMERY
A fire Sunday night destroyed a sugarhouse owned by John Prescott on Parker Hill Road.SPRINGFIELD — Firefighters had to battle heavy wet snow in addition to flames Sunday night when a fire broke out in a sugarhouse owned by John Prescott on Parker Hill Road.
The sugarhouse, which dates from the 1940s, was destroyed in the fire. The structure was vacant at the time the fire broke out around 8:50 p.m.
Springfield Fire Chief Russell Thompson said the cause of the fire was undetermined, but there were no suspicious circumstances. He said by the time firefighters got to the scene, there was no saving the structure.
Part of the sugarhouse was used for storage, and the burned skeleton of a tractor and loader and other farming machinery could be seen in the rubble, as well as a maple evaporator and large gathering tank.
Thompson said the fire was reported shortly before 9 p.m. Parker Hill Road had not been plowed, prompting one firefighter, Sean Foulois, to partially plow the road with his own pickup to help get the Springfield firetruck up the steep hill leading to the fire scene.
Thompson said road conditions were "terrible" Sunday night and that thefire truck did have on chains, but still had a hard time getting up the steep hill.
"It was slow treading for everybody," he said.
Walpole, N.H., sent its large tanker truck to supply water, he said, but the firefighters were there to "quench" the fire.
Springfield Fire Capt. James Benton said the sugarhouse, about 25 by 30 feet, had been used by Prescott for sugaring through about 30 years. "It was down on the ground when we got there," Benton said.
He said the firefighters wet down the rubble to make sure there was no exposure to nearby buildings, including the Prescotts' home.
According to the Parker Hill Rural Historic District nominating papers, the sugarhouse was built in 1947 by Howard Blodgett for Edward Prescott. It was the second major fire on Parker Hill during the past two months. The furniture workshop belonging to artisan David Heinz was destroyed and his home damaged in a fire Nov. 13.
Thompson said Sunday was an extremely busy day for the Springfield Fire Department, as there were numerous motor vehicle accidents on Interstate 91, in addition to the Prescott fire.
"Earlier in the day, they had a dozen runs," the chief said, adding there were five ambulance runs on a normal day.

I've just been re-reading Dr Barnard's book Power Foods For The Brain. It really is a scintillating read. Well of course it is, I helped him write most of it. The only reason I'm not mentioned in the book is because my girlfriend at the time got very jealous whenever I hung out with Dr Barnard. That was part of the reason we broke up actually.
Anyway, I was specifically going over the stuff about iron cookware leaching iron into the food. And then the thought struck me: what about metal cutlery ? I was actually in the middle of eating a mouthful of soup at the time, and when I pulled the spoon out of my mouth, I noticed a rainbow type pattern on the back of the spoon. I don't know if it was the heat of the soup, or the acids in my mouth, or just the way the disco lighting in my bedroom was reflecting on the metal, but something was causing this rainbow-like vision on the back of the spoon, and I had an uneasy feeling about it.
So ever since that day, I've been using chop sticks. Not for soup obviously, but for everything else. With soup I've started just licking it up directly from the bowl. Like a cat. A vegan cat, dare I say it.
Do you think I'm being over cautious ?
Wash your back
Theodore, why on earth are you eating soup in your bedroom? (Not wishing to make any jokes about "is that the only hot and steamy thing going on there, of course).
Also, vegan cat? Let's not go there....ok?
Are your chop sticks wooden or other material? I just had some Chinese food for dinner, but used a fork. Didn't notice a rainbow on mine, but I ate in the kitchen.
P.S. I can pick out your posts without even looking at the author now.
All we are saying is "Give Peas a Chance"
How does one delete posts duplicated in error?
Yet a third post in error. yawn.
I solemnly swear I shall not post from my phone ever again..! Seems one post takes on a life of its own.
(I've edited the posts by deleting the duplications but had to enter some text to in order to save)
I was in piano mode when I read this, having just finished practice. so I thought you were talking about the piano song, then I realized 'oh he means the kind you eat'
I like spoons for stirring (vegan) coffee creamer into my coffee and enjoying the lovely layers / colours swirl about... not as multi-hued as your rainbows! indeed purple and blue colours in coffee would be strange.
Marionberry, I think maybe he is eating soup in the room because his girl-friend might try to sneak some non-vegan things in the bowl! or maybe his kitchen's too cold.
Just make sure your chopsticks are made from organically grown, sustainably harvested, fair trade bamboo. And you forgot to mention what the bowl is made of?
Vikki ~
Mari, I hesitate to tell you why I was eating dinner in my bedroom, because I know you'll misinterpret it. For sure, there was a daddy long legs in the dining room. But it's not about me being scared. He just had that look in his eye, like he wanted to be alone for a while. And I'm a considerate kind of guy, as you well know.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback. And Kittens and Vicki too.
Vicki you know me too well. Organic and sustainably harvested all the way. The bowl was a refurbished coconut shell which floated all the way to these shores of its own accord. But I think deep down you already knew that.
kittens09 wrote:
Theodore, I believe the rainbow effect is similar to bubbles - caused by a layer about the same thickness as the wavelength of light. Its called interference and I think its just light reflecting through layers, that's all.
this is the best community ever! thank you all for making me honestly laugh buckets-full and inspire me to hold onto vegan living.
ok theo, what does buffus mean? no, really, i WAS in piano mode! i mean when i first read ths. and, i meant, eat *with* chopsticks, not eat the chopsticks themselves...unless they WERE edible, like made out of tofu or something!
aw, poor daddy-long-legs. i feel sorry for bugs/insects. people don't realize THEY are more scared of us than we are scared of them!
veganer wrote:
Thanks for your thoughts, Veganer. When you put it like that it doesn't sound so bad. I just hope you're right.
It just means "sweet". I totally believe you about the piano practice.
But see Kittens, this is exactly what I was worried about. People misinterpreting my actions. I thought I made it quite clear why I decided to have dinner in my bedroom. Nothing to do with fear. And I don't think he was scared of me either. If he was so scared, why did he keep flying at my face every 10 seconds ?

Maybe it was dropped by a swallow...

African or American swallow?
Listen people, this thread's gotten way off track here. It's supposed to be about Dr Barnard's book and metal cutlery. Can we please stick to the issues.
Somehow I missed this entirely. Sheesh.
BFFs with Dr. Barnard, jealous girlfriend, metal poisoning, rainbows, chopsticks, spiders, secret slurping in the bedroom! WOW
So, say howdy to Dr. B.Good riddance to the GF.Some people are low on iron!Rainbows are lovely and speak of promises.Chopsticks make great hair ornaments for those of us that are challenged to eat with them.Spiders get escorted outside almost immediately upon discovery.I LOVE soup and don't really care where I consume it.
Did I miss anything??
Always offer kindness and a soft word to the beings around you; You do not know their journey. Your words can be the hug they need or the shove that breaks them.
Well it's about bloody time you weighed in on this, Ms Dog.
For a while there I thought I was gonna have to send out another search party for you.
Well you know how it can be out here in the "Wild West".
I am glad though that I didn't miss this. I do enjoy our chats!

Conservatives Don't Have To Fix The National Republican Party (With Updates!)
Posted by KingShamus on January 20, 2013
Since even before Mitt Romney went down to defeat, Drew M over at Ace of Spades has been very down on the Republican Party. Which is why I was surprised when he wrote this the other day:
A conservative country that claims to support smaller government doesn't elect Barack Obama not once but twice (no matter how awful Romney was). A conservative country doesn't run up annual $1 trillion deficits and a $16 trillion cumulative debt. A conservative country doesn't accept ObamaCare as either good policy or a law within the bounds of the Constitution. A conservative country doesn't build a welfare state that has unfunded liabilities of "$86.8 trillion, or 550% of GDP" and growing.
I could go on but you know the rest.
Far from being a bulwark against this out of control spending and growth in federal partner, the GOP has been at best an enabler and at worst a perpetrator.
And I don't blame the GOP one bit.
Political parties and politicians are about winning elections. In the end the best way to win an election is to give a majority of the people in the electorate what they want. What far too many Americans want (even some conservative Republicans in good standing) is other people's stuff.
How many people who voted for Mitt Romney or actual conservatives for Senate and the House want their Social Security and Medicare left untouched? How many of them give lip service to a flat tax proposal but would freak if their various tax credits and deductions were eliminated? How many of them talk a good game about getting rid of the Department of Education but would freak if aid to their kid's district were cut?
Of course Republicans are going to respond to these people. But these people who support all sorts of government spending while talking about "the damn government" and taxes are the problem.
It's a must read, so go ahead and hit that link. I'll be here when you come back.
Here's the slightly weird situation the Republican Party finds itself in circa 2013. The House of Reprazentin's GOP majority is still fairly solid, at least if you're going by raw numbers. Many members of the current House were elected in the 2010 anti-Obama wave. They can cite their '10 and '12 elections to credibly argue that the constituencies they represent didn't elect them to become President Leftist McDreamboat's rubber stamp brigade.
So there are motivated conservatives in the House. That's great. Problematically, they may only be a slim majority of the lower chamber's majority. Given how many of the GOP representatives have voted recently, that may be a wildly optimistic count. Then, slap the number of conservatives Republicans with the all-but-extinct Blue Dog Democrats. Add them together and it's unclear if there is a working right-center coalition in the House that can get anything done on entitlements, spending or tax reform.
The other big hurdle to conservative reform is the fact that the American people just re-elected the most liberal president since LBJ and the most liberal Senate majority since the Oliver Cromwell took over England. The House GOP could eliminate the income tax and replace it with a 10% VAT at 9:00 am tomorrow. By 9:01, Harry Reid would've killed the bill in the Senate and by 9:02 Obama would be using page one of the statute to fire up his Parliament Ultra Lights.
In Congressional races, when the constituency is often more conservative than the general US population, a Republican can do well selling a right of center message to the voters. This is why a solidly blue state like Illinois can still elect six Republican congress-peeps out of their 18 seat delegation. Get beyond the House level and it's harder for the current GOP to sell it's message to voters in national races.
So should the Republican Party just pack it in? Obama certainly wants them broken and divided. The GOP has been so cowardly that there's been talk that the National Rifle Association could become the opposition party.
Drew M suggests that conservatives focus on winning back the American culture. That's a very necessary thing, but not everyone is a novelist, filmmaker, musician or television director. Non-artsy conservatives need a role in creating a more favorable political environment for the Right.
The state and local levels of government have a viable blueprint. There the Republican Party is not just surviving, it's thriving. Conservative ideas are winning in Obama-fied blue states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida and Ohio.
Scoring victories in state races and gubernatorial elections doesn't sound as sexxxy as vaporizing Harry Reid's Senate majority, but it is. Our federalist system gives conservatives fifty states to win governorships, mayors' contests, school boards memberships, town council positions and representative races. Getting decent people into these spots will foster a saner, less suicidal political culture at the grass-roots level.
Helping right-of-center candidates win local elections doesn't just have an immediate positive impact on communities. It also creates a deep bench of conservative political talent. The Republican Party has the worst congressional leadership since the 1960's. The last two presidential elections have seen the party field it's weakest candidates since FDR was trouncing Herbert Hoover and Alf Landon.
It doesn't have to be this way. You want leaders that don't cry or cower every five seconds? Then you have to encourage anti-Boehners and non-McConnells to stand up. The process of getting them into positions of of national power starts by getting them elected in local contests.
The R\ght is simply too DC-centric. We keep saying how the Beltway culture is poison to our values. Worse, we can see that the federal government isn't going to get any friendlier to conservative ideas any time soon. Well, if that's the case, then it makes sense for traditionalists to go someplace where they can actually do some good.
It's time we stop caring so much about what Eric Cantor does. It's long past time that we start paying very close attention to what our state senator is saying. Who knows, that person might just get elected President some day.
MORE TO THE STORY: You know why else conservatives don't owe the national Republican party jack shit? The national GOP hasn't really done anything for them lately. Forget about how the Tea Party never got the credit it deserved for the 2010 midterms. Don't bring up the way the Republican Senate Election dudes can't pick decent candidates to take back upper chamber.
More damning than all that is the GOP's last two presidential picks. They both seem purposefully designed–at least in hindsight–to alienate as much of the conservative party base as possible. John McCain snubbed religious conservatives nearly every time he could afford to. Mitt Romney's pro-life/pro-gun/pro-marriage stances were of a suspiciously recent vintage. Even more stupid than Mitt's trying to buy conservative bona fides was his decision to defend those positions in the meekest more apologetic least forceful way possible. If you're gonna jump on the pro-life bandwagon, you may as well use it to your advantage.
The GOP is just not that into conservatives. Republicans will take right-wingers on a date and hook up with them back at the frat, but that's as far as it's gonna go. Playas are gonna play after all.
It's just one more reason why the right should forget about the establishment Republicans in Washington. They suck at politics, they can't win and they dislike their base. That's enough for me.
I hope Reince Preibus is still bosom buddoes with Sheldon Adelson.
ONE MORE THING: Bob Belvedere of the brilliant Camp Of The Saints wrote about this like three days ago. As usual, my timing is awesome. Check it out.
…it is time for a showdown between the forces that want to aggregate to the national government more powers than those that are enumerated in The Constitution and those of us who believe that it should be followed to the letter.
'Legal expert' Jeffrey Toobin, per usual, gets it wrong:
"A sheriff does not get to decide whether laws are constitutional," he said. "Unless a court invalidates a law, he's obligated to enforce it."
That's become the practice, but it is simply not the way it is or is supposed to be. All officials who take an oath to The Constitution are individually responsible for assuring that it not be violated. Further, by said oath they are obligated not to enforce any law or regulation that they believe would cause them to violate their oaths. If someone disagrees, the matter may be settled in a court of law, but oath-taking officials do have this power/responsibility. And they should not fear exercising it. It's their duty.
The national government is beyond hope.
Emphasis mine.
Read the whole thing.

Time to nuke the Republican party. As far as Federalism? That's a dead letter. It started with the 14th and 17th amendments. Now all states are whores with their hands out trying to get dems goodies from the Feds.
I'm not optimistic that we can do anything to hold back the socialist tide. Socialism inevitable.
Now I have to go watch the inauguration. I haven't vomited in days and miss the exercise.

More than fifteen hundred varieties of canned foods appear on today's supermarket shelves: traditional fare, along with a variety of nutritionally positioned products – for example, sodium-free, low-fat, no-added-sugar, and others. What are some benefits of canned foods?
'Ä¢¬Ý¬ÝLong shelf life. Canned fruits and vegetables are preservative-free; the canning process (high temperatures and sterile containers) destroys organisms that would cause spoilage. Canned food remains safe as long as the container remains intact. Although most canned foods are coded with 'Äúuse by'Äù dates you'Äôre wise to rotate them. Change your supply of canned products at least every other year.
'Ä¢¬ÝNutritious. Canned foods 'Äì and other dishes made with canned ingredients 'Äì are as nutritious as fresh, according to research, and perhaps more so, if fresh aren'Äôt handled properly. For lycopene (a carotenoid that protects against prostate cancer), canned tomatoes are better than fresh!
'Ä¢¬ÝTamper resistance. Cans are very tamper-resistant. Any opening of the package is clearly evident. However, you should watch for rust, dents, bulges or leaks. These could mean that the contents in the can are not safe to consumer.
'Ä¢¬ÝFood safety. Food is heated to destroy bacteria and then sealed in cans within hours of harvesting. Washing, peeling, and other steps in the canning process remove almost any pesticide residues left on unprocessed foods. For maximum flavor and nutritional value from canned foods, use the product immediately after opening it. Handle any leftover as a perishable food 'Äì stored in the refrigerator to retain taste and nutritional quality.
