Behavioral Health Information Exchange Project
Beginning in October 2010, CORHIO partnered with a multi-stakeholder behavioral health steering committee to create the Behavioral Health Information Exchange (HIE) Project. The goal of the project was to gather research and broad community input on the opportunities, concerns and priorities for including behavioral health information in HIE. The results from this research are available in a report called Supporting Integration of Behavioral Health Care Through Health Information Exchange (PDF). The project and report were made possible through a grant from the Rose Community Foundation.
Opportunities for Improving Behavioral Health Integration
Although behavioral health is a critical component of a person's overall health, mental health and substance use treatment information is currently not integrated with physical health information. This creates significant gaps in health records, potentially leading to fragmented, lower quality care.
Studies have shown that the average life expectancy for individuals with serious mental illness ranges from 13 to 30 years less than the rest of the population.[1] Much of this can be attributed to fragmented, inconsistent and episodic care. Individuals requiring behavioral health services have a unique need for integrated care due to frequent use of the health care system and a greater need to coordinate care among different types of providers.
A study done by JEN Associates found that those with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) have a disproportionate use of medical services compared to those without SMI. The results demonstrated that those with SMI have 3.5 times higher rates of emergency room visits, four times the rate of primary care visits, and five times the rate of specialist visits. In addition, those with SMI have high rates of co-occurring mental and medical disorders. This group is nearly three times more likely to have diabetes and three times more likely to have chronic respiratory disease compared to the general population.
Oftentimes, health care providers providing treatment to individuals with behavioral health disorders lack important clinical information about their patients that contributes to adverse drug interactions and other medical complications. According to the Behavioral HIE Project's research, the vast majority of individuals and health care providers in the behavioral health community believe that better information sharing is needed to improve patient safety and quality of care.
Research Process
CORHIO conducted extensive research on state and national laws, and regulations regarding behavioral health information sharing. Additionally, CORHIO and the Steering Committee participants helped facilitate six meetings in communities across Colorado (Alamosa, Colorado Springs, Denver, Durango and Sterling), which were chosen to represent a broad cross-section of perspectives and attitudes regarding HIE. Participation at the meetings included:

Beneficial bugs are any of a number of species of insects or arthropods that perform valued services like pollination and pest control. The concept of "beneficial" is the desired outcome from a human perspective. In farming and agriculture, where the goal is to raise selected crops, bugs that hinder the production process are classified as pests, while bugs that assist production are considered beneficial.
Encouraging beneficial bugs by providing suitable living conditions, is a pest control strategy, often used in organic farming, organic gardening or Integrated Pest Management. Using this type of pest control eliminates dangers that come with using chemical pesticides.
So, let's meet your new friends...
The Hoverfly
Hoverflies, sometimes called flower flies or syrphid flies, make up the insect family Syrphidae. As their common name suggests, they are often seen hovering at flowers; the adults of many species feed mainly on nectar and pollen, while the larvae (maggots) eat a wide range of foods. In some species, the larvae are saprotrophs, eating decaying plant and animal matter in the soil or in ponds and streams. In other species, the larvae are insectivores and prey on aphids, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects.
Aphids alone cause tens of millions of dollars of damage to crops worldwide every year; because of this, aphidophagous hoverflies are being recognized as important natural enemies of pests, and potential agents for use in biological control. Some adult syrphid flies are important pollinators.
About 6,000 species in 200 genera have been described. Hoverflies are common throughout the world and can be found on all continents except Antarctica. Hoverflies are harmless to most other animals despite their mimicry of more dangerous wasps and bees, which serves to ward off predators.
The Carolina mantis, Stagmomantis carolina, is a praying mantis, one of six found in North America.The Carolina mantis has a dusty brown, gray, or green color useful as camouflage in certain environments. The Carolina mantis' color varies because the nymphs are able to adjust their color, to match the environment they are in, at the time of molting.
Most mantises are exclusively predatory. Insects form their primary prey, but the diet of a mantid changes as it grows larger. In its first developmental stage or instar, a mantid will eat small insects such as tiny flies or even its own siblings. In later instars it does not or cannot profitably pursue such small prey. In the final instar as a rule the diet of the praying mantis still includes more insects than anything else, but large species of mantis have been known to prey on small scorpions, lizards, frogs, birds, snakes, fish, and even rodents; they will feed on any species small enough for them to capture, but large enough to engage their attention.
"A female Catolaccus grandis wasp homes in on a boll weevil larva. This 3/8 inch parasitic wasp, a native of Mexico, inserts her ovipositor through the plastic film covering the individual rearing cell and immobilizes the larva. From the larva she withdraws nourishment sufficient to complete development of her eggs. Later, she or another female will revisit the boll weevil larva and deposit an egg next to it. The larva soon becomes an easy meal for a newly-hatched wasp larva." USDA In the late 19th century, the boll weevil had infested all US cotton growing areas and by the 1920's it devasted the industry and the people working in the south.
Podisus maculiventris, the spined soldier bug is a species of insect common in North America. They are predators of gypsy moth caterpillars and the larvae of beetles such as the Colorado potato beetle and the Mexican bean beetle. Since the Mexican bean beetle is widely regarded as a notorious agricultural pest in North America, soldier bugs are generally considered useful garden insects.
This insect is a generalist predator with a broad host range, reportedly attacking 90 insect species, which includes several important economic pests. Reported prey include the larvae of Mexican bean beetle, European corn borer, diamondback moth, corn earworm, beet armyworm, fall armyworm, cabbage looper, imported cabbageworm, Colorado potato beetle, velvetbean caterpillar, and flea beetles.
Eastern Swallowtail Butterfly
"Swallowtail caterpillars are beneficial insects. If you want to attrack them to your garden, planting parsley will call them to the dinner table. Caterpillars forage heavily on their host plants, like parsley, but they also serve as a food source for birds and other wildlife. After their metamorphosis into butterflies, they become pollinators. Pollinators are very beneficial because without them, most farm products would not survive. In addition, butterflies are beneficial to humans because the are beautiful to see. Many species are brightly colored, and their flight so light and airy, that it pleases our spirits.
The Orb Spider
In North America, the golden silk orb-weaver spider, Nephila clavipes, are sometimes referred to as writing spiders due to occasional zigzag patterns built into their webs, and sometimes called banana spiders.
"The banana spider preys on a wide variety of small to medium sized flying insects, which include mosquitoes, grasshoppers, stinkbugs, leaf-footed bugs, bees, butterflies, flies, small moths and wasps. Banana spiders have even been seen feeding on beetles and dragonflies. These spiders are rarely found in row crops, because of lack of web support, but they are one of the two most common orb-weavers in citrus and pecan groves. Oddly, some banana spiders are reported to display an almost manic fear of cockroaches. It is thought the cockroach's fast movements and large, dark shape cause some of the species to run from or ignore a perfectly good meal.
Orb spiders are really wonderful creatures. Their dragline thread (the silk) is of particular benefit to us as they weave strong webs compared to some other spiders. Currently, there are tests being done on their silk as it surpasses the strength of "Kevlar," a fiber used in bulletproof vests." Candice Hawkinson
Orius insidiosus prey on plant-eating (phytophagous) mites and their eggs, various insect eggs, and other soft-bodied arthropods such as thrips, spider mites, and small caterpillars. They also feed on the eggs and new larvae of the bollworm, spotted tobacco aphids, corn earworm, European corn borers (Ostrinia nubilalis), corn leaf aphids (Rhopalosiphum maidis), potato aphids (Macrosiphum euphorbiae), and potato leafhopper (Empoasca fabae) nymphs. They are used in orchards to help control the European red mite (Panonychus ulmi), the twospotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae), and most species of aphids. Orius insidiosus can also feed on plants and pollen.
The Big Eyed Bug Geocoris punctipes
Big-eyed bugs are considered an important predator in many agricultural systems and feed on mites, insect eggs, and small insects such as pink bollworm, cabbage loopers and whiteflies.
Lady Bug Hippodainia convergens
The Lady Bug, a beetle, is known for aphid control, but also dines on chinch bugs, corn lice, asparagus beetle larvae, Colorado potato beetle, mites and white fly. The Lady Bug is beneficial on farms and in greenhouses, and will attack pests not only in adult stages, but also in the larvae stage. One Lady Bug can eat over 1000 aphids in its lifetime.
Hogna carolinensis, also known as the Carolina wolf spider, is usually regarded as the largest of the wolf spiders found in North America. The body length of females is typically 25 millimetres, almost one inch long, and the body length of males is typically around 19 mm (0.75 in). Members of this species are known to live in burrows that they dig.
While the appearance of these spiders may seem rather forbidding, they are not inclined to bite. They flee anything larger than themselves, and generally will bite humans only if they feel threatened and are unable to escape. They do have large fangs that can create mechanical injury to other creatures, but their venom is not regarded as medically significant. A bite by one of them is sometimes described as about as painful as the sting of a bee or wasp.
These spiders are large enough to easily capture grasshoppers, crickets, and other such large agricultural pests. They are ambush predators that may wander about after dark in search of prey. They are poor climbers, so that in nature they generally remain on the ground, hidden under natural shelters such as the edges of rocks, or in their own burrows. When they enter human habitations, usually with the onset of cooler weather in autumn, they usually remain on the floor. The safe way to remove these spiders and return them to the wild is to put something like an inverted plastic bowl over them and then slide a cookie sheet or stiff paper under the bowl. The whole thing can be carried outdoors where the spider can be released to continue hunting or to find a natural shelter for itself.
In 2000, the Carolina wolf spider was declared the official state spider of South Carolina.
Phorid flies represent a new and hopeful means by which to control fire ant populations in the southern US, where fire ants were accidentally introduced in the 1930s. The genus Pseudacteon, or ant-decapitating fly, of which 110 species have been documented, is a parasitoid of the ant in South America. Pseudacteon species reproduce by laying eggs in the thorax of the ant. The first instar larvae migrate to the head. The larvae develop by feeding on the hemolymph, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue in the head. Eventually, the larvae completely devour the ant's brain, causing it to do nothing but wander aimlessly for approximately two weeks. After about two to four weeks, they cause the ant's head to fall off by releasing an enzyme that dissolves the membrane attaching the ant's head to its body. The fly pupates in the detached head capsule, requiring a further two weeks before emerging. Various species of Phoridae have been introduced throughout the southeast United States in several Counties in Texas, as well as Alabama where the ants first entered North America.
This bee, Osmia ribifloris (on a barberry flower), is an effective pollinator of commercial blueberries and is one of several relatives of the blue orchard bee, Osmia lignaria. Similar in appearance, the blue orchard bee is also a successful commercial pollinator that is now being evaluated for use in a wider range of crops.
"Damselflies are considered beneficial bugs because they eat other, more harmful, bugs. They are among the most ancient bugs that we know about. Fossils that were formed about 325 million years ago have been found in Europe. They are also one of the most beautiful insects that ever roamed Earth, and they have always been completely harmless to humans.
They do not sting or bite.
Damselflies are related to Dragonflies. They are both beneficial in the same way - they are predators that eat other harmful insects and they keep populations of those other insects from getting too large. Damselfly nymphs (young damselflies) live in the water, but they like to climb up plants looking for other insects to eat. The larvae particularly enjoy eating hopper nymphs that are harmful to rice crops. They are also extremely good at picking aphids off plants.
Damselflies hunt in groups where ever they find large numbers of termites together, when they find an ant colony, or near swarms of mayflies and gnats. Damselflies especially love eating flies of all kinds. Damselflies do not mind hunting in colder temperatures. They are one of the few bugs that can be observed hunting during cold weather. Males are territorial - they have an area that they consider to be their own, and they patrol that area looking for prey many for hours at a time." Linda Mensing Triplett
"Sowbugs are considered beneficial because they are effective decomposers. Sowbugs like to live in compost and eat dead vegetation, including rotting wood. They feed primarily on dead plant and animal matter and this is what makes them beneficial in nature. They are very effective decomposers and can be one of the most important parts of a compost heap." Linda Mensing Triplett
Braconid Wasp, Aleiodes indiscretus, parasitizing a gypsy moth caterpillar.
"A natural predator of the tomato hornworm is a tiny beneficial insect called the braconid wasp. This wasp lays its eggs inside the hornworm caterpillar where they hatch into larvae that feed on the hornworm's muscle tissues, while leaving its heart and other essential organs intact until the larvae mature. This largely paralyzes the hornworm, which becomes merely a living fresh food vessel that sustains the wasp larvae. Once the braconid larvae mature, which takes about a week, they then exit through a hole they make in the hornworm's skin and build a silken cocoon on the outside within which, like butterflies, they transform into adult braconid wasps that then fly off to infect other tomato hornworms. Different species of braconid wasps parasitize aphids and many other harmful insects.
Of course, those tomato hornworm caterpillars that survive produce the magnificent Sphinx moths, one of our largest and most beautiful geometrids, so completely eradicating them is not entirely desirable for aesthetic reasons, and braconid wasps provide an ecologically sound method of keeping the population of tomato hornworms under control without leading to the complete loss of this wonderful lepidopteran."

SOUTH WHITLEY ŌĆö Firefighters from at least three departments were called late Saturday morning to respond to a fire at South WhitleyŌĆÖs Kent Theatre, located at 220 S. State St.
Whitley County dispatchers received a call at 11:31 a.m. that the theater, built around 1947 with a seating capacity of 200, was seen with smoke coming from its roof. Departments from Columbia City, Cleveland and Washington townships were dispatched to the scene.
SOUTH WHITLEY ŌĆö WhitkoŌĆÖs boys basketball team defeated Wayne in South Whitley Friday night, 65-63.
Logan Irwin scored 36 points for the Wildcats, adding to his already 2,000 plus career points.
Irwin started the game off with WhitkoŌĆÖs first seven points to take the WildcatsŌĆÖ first lead, 7-5, with 5:12 left in the first quarter. Jordan Sims hit one of his two 3-pointers with three minutes left in the quarter and Alex Stoddard chipped in seven in the stanza.
CHURUBUSCO ŌĆö In a game that was never farther apart than six points for most of the game, Churubusco won its seventh straight game, defeating visiting Northeast Corner Conference opponent Fairfield in a game that ended with a somewhat misleading score, 58-46.
Coming into the game, both teams likely had the last three years on their minds. Two seasons ago, the Eagles lost in Fairfield by three points on the road and four points in overtime at home. Last year, ŌĆśBusco returned the favor with a three-point overtime victory on the FalconsŌĆÖ home court.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö In typical fashion, the department heads were on hand to update the Columbia City Board of Works and Safety on recent activity around the city.
In not so typical fashion, Mayor Ryan Daniel gave the report for the Parks Department in place of the indisposed Mark Green, park director.
Daniel reported due to the success of the recent Father-Daughter Dance, the park will be hosting a similar Mother-Son event.
The event will take place April 27 at PaigeŌĆÖs Crossing from 6 to 10 p.m.
CHURUBUSCO ŌĆö ItŌĆÖs all fun and games at Churubusco Elementary School ŌĆ" well on a special night anyway. Recently, parents and second-grade students in Pat NaragonŌĆÖs class finished a five-week-long Project Based Learning (PBL) activity with fun and games the children created themselves.
ŌĆ£In Project Based Learning (PBL), students go through an extended process of inquiry in response to a complex question, problem or challenge,ŌĆØ said Naragon.
SOUTH WHITLEY ŌĆö South WhitleyŌĆÖs Clerk-Treasurer Bob Gould reported on changes which have taken place in the clerkŌĆÖs office last week during his report earlier this week to the town council.
ŌĆ£We have a new deputy-clerk in the office and her name is Pam Waller and she is doing a great job,ŌĆØ Gould said. ŌĆ£Jerri Bollinger is a new (office) staff member who has been here (in the clerkŌĆÖs office) in the past for 30 years and she sat down and hit the desk running on Monday, cleaning up meter books and getting correct meter numbers entered.ŌĆØ
SOUTH WHITLEY ŌĆö Phase II of the waste water treatment facility project is under way, according to Project Manager David Harvey with Fleis and Vandenbrink. Progress is being made on the combined sewer overflow (CSO) basin. Fleis and Vandenbrink provides a wide-range of service for municipal, industrial, institutional, commercial and private development clients.
ŌĆ£Construction is underway and progress is being made,ŌĆØ Harvey said in Tuesday evenings town council meeting.
CHURUBUSCO ŌĆö Smith-Green Community School board members have heard no negative comments regarding the corporationŌĆÖs $6 million building plan for the school as of Monday.
This is according to the board at its second public work session on a proposed building project.
Steve Darnell, superintendent of SGCS, explained to the full room of people and the board two proposed timetables and lease financing.
The first time table for the building project that was less than $2 million has no required remonstrance period.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆō Whitley County Concerned Citizens will host a fund raiser Saturday, Feb. 18, 7 p.m. at The Eagles, 306 W. Van Buren St., Columbia City.
Local country/bluegrass band Huckleberry Blue will entertain.
There will be a $5 cover charge to benefit the fight against wind farms in Whitley County, according to organizers. There will be a silent auction of items donated by local businesses.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Jessie I. Brandom, 99, of rural Columbia City, died at 11:55 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2012, at Covington Manor, Fort Wayne.
She was born Feb. 8, 1913, in Fort Wayne, a daughter of David Henry and Anna Ethel (Zumbrum) McCoy.
Her formative years were spent in the Arcola area. She graduated from Arcola
On Nov. 11, 1939, she was united in marriage to John Clifford Brandom, Sr.
He died May 18, 1983.

Happy hot dog man
I don't know how many informercials I've seen that sell cooking products that will make your life easier, better, and more fun; but this one cracked me up! Are people that clueless that they can't figure out how to use a paring knife, or even give their kids a butter knife to do this? Do any of you own any of these kinds of gadgets (whether bought or were given)? Or have you seen even more ridiculous gadgets?
The website is happyhotdogman.com

WoW! including Linux in your tutorial, you guys are great. Thanks
Hello, I am trying to format a 1 TB Western Digital Elements external harddrive.
I need the cluster size to be set to 32k but when I try to change the cluster size it's always stuck in 64k, I've tried 3 different programs in order to change the cluster size with no results.
Problem solved I had to use MiniTools partition manager

I am real new to reporting services. Just setup two servers, one applicaton, second database. They both sit in their own domain, will call this RPTDOMAIN.
RPTDOMAIN has a one way trust back to the CORPDOMAIN (RPTDOMAIN trusts CORPDOMAIN). I created a local group on the reporting services app server and added some test accounts from CORPDOMAIN. When I try and connect to the reporting services server, via IE, I get prompt for login id and password. When I enter the CORPDOMAIN accounts, which have access to the reporting services server, the server will not allow access.
When I create local accounts on the reporting services server it allows connections.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Second question.
The local accounts on the reporing services server have [unknow] appended to the account when viewed via the Report Manager WEB interface. This is preventing me from sending any sort of mail.
Does anyone know why this is happeining?

Re: My drumkits! Check them out.
That's quite alright. I'm sure the poplar version is no less in quality or sound, just difference in tone and volume possibly. Yes I have the maple version in white and whether it's the poplar or maple version, a 7 piece set with the quality of these shells, the sound and finish is a steal. I got lucky as they were discontinuing them and bought mine from Guitar Center brand new, delivered to the door for $699+ tax. I actaully really like the lug design more than the Concepts. It gives off an old skool vibe to them, like early 90's drums lol. :)
Yeah! These are really high quality shells. And yes I love that old school vibe with these big lugs. I got mine off of craigslist. Some guy bought it and never used it. Had to sell it because his wife was tired of all the drums he had in the house. I got it for 300! Dirt cheap, it still had the stickers and all. Patience is the name of the game when buying used. I just came home from practice and I just love playing the x7
That Ddrum kit is gorgeous! I love the white on white
Thanks! I love it too! Its my workhorse set. It takes any beating and still comes off spectacular with a lil wipe down. It sounds really good with some fresh heads, and that kick! BOOOM! So many drummers love the kick when I let them borrow it for shows.
You guys are making me blush. These are my pride and joy!
Keep the beat going guys!

The Bluebirds spent big on the Chile midfielder over the summer, with £11million required to lure him away from Sevilla.
Medel's no-nonsense approach is perfectly suited to life in the Premier League and he has quickly become a fans' favourite in South Wales.
Mackay is delighted to have seen his judgement rewarded and has paid tribute to the manner in which Medel has gone about his business on and off the field.
He told Wales Online: "Gary has been outstanding in terms of the way he has adapted to a different culture and settled into Premier League football seamlessly.
"He is having English lessons four times a week and is making good progress, he has been working hard on that.
"Those English lessons take time, but he is enjoying living in this city. He has settled in his house and knows where the better restaurants and shops are. All of that helps a player settle in."
Medel and Cardiff travel to Aston Villa in domestic competition on Saturday, before attention turns to the international break.
With Chile set to face England on 15th November, Mackay is planning a scouting mission to Wembley Stadium to see how one of his charges fares against a Three Lions line-up which will likely include a number of upcoming Premier League opponents.
With fixtures against Manchester United and Arsenal on the horizon, Mackay added: "I'll be there for that one, it's a fixture well worth taking in.
"Cardiff are fortunate to have top international footballers in our squad, and that's great for the club."

So, I'm a bad sew-along participant... I kinda skipped ahead. Last week I skipped ahead to step 14 in the instructions when the sew-along was only at step 4, and today I finished my blouse. But I don't really care, because I LOVE it! I just tried it on with my grey Jenny skirt and it looks awesome. (My black Jenny skirt is too big and needs taking in, so I can't try it on with that too).
The bad news is that I am home alone this evening so don't have anyone to play photographer for me. However, here's a sneak peek of it on the hanger and I'll recruit a photographer tomorrow (when it's daylight) to show you it in all it's splendor.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29, 2008 President Bush is asking Congress to approve $70 billion as partial payment for global war on terrorism operations in fiscal 2009, Defense Department officials said today. (Video)
Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell said during a news conference that the $70 billion emergency supplemental request will fund operations through the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
"Why we are submitting just a partial amount is predicated on a couple of things, one of which is the fact that … we haven't gotten our money that's needed and has been requested for fiscal year '08 yet to fight the global war on terror," he said.
The department is still waiting for Congress to approve $102 billion for this fiscal year, Morrell said. During his State of the Union address last night, President Bush asked Congress to approve the 2008 supplemental funding request quickly.
How much the department will need is based on events on the ground, Morrell said. Trends in Iraq are positive, but Pentagon officials want to hear the reports of Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, Multinational Force Iraq commander; Navy Adm. William J. Fallon, U.S. Central Command chief; and the Joint Chiefs of Staff before making budgeting decisions.
"So we are submitting the $70 billion request with the anticipation that at some point we will go back to the Congress and ask for what else is needed in fiscal year '09," Morrell said.
The $70 billion supplemental request is a marker for what the department will need in fiscal 2009, Morrell said. That money should be able to at least handle much of the first quarter of the fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1, and then the rest will be executed by a subsequent administration and secretary of defense, he noted.
"But we will likely come back to the Congress at some point in this year to revise the global war on terror funding request, to include what is needed in its totality," he said.

Pathway Out of Poverty -ActionAid, July 2012
Fighting Hunger - ActionAid, June 2011
Food Security in Togo and Rwanda - GAFSP, April 2011
Click here for a two page GAFSP fact sheet.
GAFSP will support the Government's Land Husbandry, Water Harvesting and Hillside Irrigation (LWH) Program, which is a two-phase program to implement improved land husbandry and increase productivity in 101 watersheds covering 30,250 ha of land. GAFSP support is scaling up the LWH Program, which is supported by other development partners including IDA, USAID, and CIDA. The LWH Project uses a modified watershed approach to introduce sustainable land-husbandry measures for hillside agriculture on selected sites, as well as developing hillside-irrigation for sub-sections of each site. The project envisions the production of high-valued horticultural crops with the strongest marketing potential on irrigated portions of hillsides, and the improved productivity and commercialization of rain fed food and export crops on the rest of the site catchment areas.
GAFSP financing will support water harvesting infrastructure, including the study and construction of valley dams and reservoirs on selected sites. This will lead to significant time saving and avoidance of back-breaking water collection activities, especially for women and children, besides improving water access for livestock and sanitation.
GAFSP support will improve hillside agricultural management to protect against erosion and enhance sustained crop productivity and ecosystem conservation. This will include soil conservation measures and infrastructures appropriate to differing slope categories and downstream reservoir protection. The project will also develop conveyance structures for hillside irrigation.
GAFSP will strengthen farmer organizations through gendered community mobilization that will also address the governance, management and market orientation of farmers' organizations. This will allow for the success of Rwanda's hillside intensification objectives through solid farmer-based institutions both at the local, provincial, and national levels.
This operation will finance extension services that will address the most critical knowledge gaps of watershed producers.
GAFSP financing will support investments in improving rural access to financial services on a sustainable basis by developing savings, leasing, and value-chain financial products (including warehouse receipt and index-based weather insurance) in collaboration with financial institutions, increasing financial literacy, and promoting sustainable rural financial services.
This interactive map of Rwanda shows existing pilot sites, GAFSP-funded scale-up sites and additional potential scale-up sites of the LWH project. The map overlays sub-national poverty data, rural development data, demographic indicators and other information relevant to the program, like areas susceptible to flood, landslide and drought.
The project invests in water harvesting infrastructure, including valley dams and reservoirs on the selected sites.The dams will vary in size, though most will be under 20 meters high and will each inundate about 6-8 hectares on average. Water storage allows for irrigated crop production for 100 days on average, permitting a second crop during the dry season. When zoomed in to the existing project locations, the map shows three different zones that together comprise each project area: the irrigated command area, which is protected by a dam and has been transformed from marshland into crop land; the non-irrigated hillside command area catchment, where hillside soil conservation measures are applied to protect the irrigated command area from landslides; and the water catchment area with the reservoir that collects and retains run-off water from the catchment areas.

Like little baby Jesus, most neck pain seems to come out of nowhere. Its not like you were in a car accident or fell out of bed and there is no outwardly obvious reason for why your neck hurts. Most people do notice some patterns of their neck pain, like it hurts more when I do the dishes, or when you sit at your job. As a Denver chiropractor, most of the new patients that I see have this fluctuating neck pain that is usually caused by forward head posture. Understanding where this pain comes from is half the battle to ridding it. So, I listed the top 5 causes of forward head posture that causes neck pain.
1. iPosture or Text Neck. This is becoming epidemic as more and more people use cell phones. Take a look at person that is using their phone. The head is usually bent forward to at least 50-70 degrees which slowly pulls on all of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, joints, and fascia. This slow pull on the back of neck essentially overstretches this part of the body. This creates an imbalance of stretched tissue.
2. Computer Posture. No matter how hard you try to avoid it, you end up slouched with your head sticking out by the end of the day. It's almost impossible to escape without someone repeatedly telling you to sit up straight. Computer posture is often the result of poor ergonomics.
3. Pillow Neck. The way you sleep is another source of forward head posture. If you ever sleep on your back while using a pillow, you are slowly creating a forward head posture.
4. Reading Neck or Scholars Neck. Sit in your favorite chair and enjoy your latest murder mystery and soon before you know, you've been there for over an hour with head pointing down. Looking downward for a prolonged period doing your desk work or reading will create forward head posture. Some people like to read while lying down in bed which will also slowly give you forward head posture.
5. Couch slouch or Potato Neck. You ever watch a movie while lying down with your head on the arm rest of the couch. Guilty! Everyone does it, but if you do it on a regular basis it slowly juts your head out and then you look like one of the character in the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Sitting in your favorite position in the couch that gives your spine banana back will also give you forward posture.
The imbalance of overusing certain muscles and under using certain muscles in combination with only stretching one side of the neck will cause forward head carriage. This is easy to spot as your head will not be above your shoulders, and will be forward compared to your torso. Over time this will create a major malfunction of the system, creating pain, stiffness, kinked necks, headaches, and sore shoulders.
Chiropractic care is an excellent option for treating a forward head posture. As chiropractic adjustments and the other therapies we offer will help restore the natural alignment of your neck. Of course you need to identify the root cause, but putting out the fire while improving your awareness of your posture is necessary. At Denver Chiropractic, LLC we offer a wide variety of treatment options to help decrease your neck pain.

I think we like to have internal civil wars between our brains and our bodies. Even though they are intimately connected, I think the brain has a superiority complex. I see this battle when it comes to the desk jockey. This is the person who sits all day, every day, and that is how they make their money, by sitting and doing computer-desk work. I realize that this is unavoidable and can be very taxing on the body, but if I had a choice, I think I would rather be a stunt man and take my injuries one by one vs. slowly becoming a mongoloid like cave dweller chained to one position. Heck, even prisoners have more freedom than desk jockeys.
This internal war starts with the body revolting, sending messages to the brain to move, squirm, readjust, get up, take a break, stretch, and so on. The mind recognizes the bodies check engine signals, but overcomes them with rationalization. The mind tells the body to take it, and keep on sitting. The mind realizes the importance of surviving, but also keeps in minds that whole must keep working to earn that oh so precious dollar.
At one point the mind might give a little and do more exercise outside of the working hours, but sometimes this is not enough. With some minds, there is recognition of the importance of the work space ergonomics. The chair is always recognized as very important. Here comes the problem. Some minds will start to think that sitting on a huge ball will help keep them upright for endless hours that their job demands. They think that the ball will magically strengthen their core to a point that they can sit forever without fatigue, like some sort of superhero. Short periods of large ball sitting are okay, but endless sitting will short circuit the system. This is when they find me, a Denver chiropractor, and the one they seek for help. Their brain has recognized its own inability to protect itself, its civil war has lost, and the body is battered and can no longer cooperate.
Well, I want to help all of the professional sitters sit better, to be able to sit longer, and sit without fatigue. I recently have had more than a normal amount of people come to the clinic and tell me they have neck and back pain, and they want me to fix them. When there are no obvious injuries, I have to play a bit of Sherlock Holmes. I usually suspect with a high degree, the job category, especially if they sit all day. When it comes out that they are using a large ball to sit on, I have to pull my teacher hat out.
Most people like to think they have good ergonomics. This of course is natural for the professional sitter. Let me tell you why sitting on a ball all day is wreaking havoc on your body.
Sitting requires using your muscles to some degree. It you are using the same set of muscles to sit for extended time, that is, more than 30 minutes, your muscles will fatigue. Think of holding a bowling ball like a waiter holds a tray. With the weight directly over the hand and weight, it is not so bad, because it requires a high degree of balancing versus strength. This is the concept that the ball sitters are using, but it is flawed. For a short time this version of sitting will work, but certain muscle groups will fatigue at one point.
The goal of sitting well is to shift the strain on muscles, and not have one group of muscle bearing the burden. This is what happens with ball sitting, one group of muscles are doing all the work while the rest are sitting back and taking a nice vacation.
Shifting the load on muscle groups to different muscle groups is the key to prevent one set muscles from fatiguing, and using a ball to do this is impossible. With a ball, you cannot rest your arms; your arms are endlessly hovering to type and mouse. The muscles that do this are what many people call their shoulders. This is the Upper Trapezious, Levator scapulae, Rhomboids, Splenius Capitus, and many others that share connections with the neck and back. The muscles in your low back share the same burden, they never get to rest, because they are always engaged.
By using these muscles continuously, you will put a tremendous amount of strain on the upper back, low back, and the neck. Using a ball also prevents you from resting your neck. Having a chair where you can tilt back and rest your noggin, and rest your arms while you take or make a call is just what the body wants, a shift in muscle group use.
Prolonged use of any muscle will put the check engine light on. Using over the counter non steroidal, like Ibuneverworkuprofin, or Tyandnotfixanol will never cure your problem. You are just putting tape over the check engine light. After a while of body revolt, your joints will be out of alignment, trigger points and muscle adhesions will develop. This will show as low back pain, upper back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, and headaches.
If you keep repeating the pattern of using your ball to sit on while you are developing neck and back pain, your problem will become much harder, longer, and much costlier to fix than buying a good ergonomic chair. Do your body a favor and get rid of that six dollar Walmart ball that you are using.
Next time you sit on your ball, become aware of what muscles you are actively using. Next, think of how long those same muscles can keep contracted without fatigue. Listen to your body, it will tell […]
Since the dawn of computer time, man has de-evolved into a creature that habitates the recesses of the virtual world. Unfortunately, consequences of extended html surfing tear into the reality of dealing with bad posture. It is not called ape posture as the title entails, but referred to as "Postural Syndrome".
I recently attended a networking event here in Denver, Colorado and the topic of posture came up several times. Most people admit to having "bad posture", and yet have never explored ways to improve posture. Fear not, your knuckle dragging ape ways do not have to be and can be changed with good advice.
What is so important about good posture? Why do you need to be aware of your posture? What can happen to the body with bad posture? These are the questions that I would like every one of you to ponder a bit. Posture is your outward expression of the energy that you conserve or expend.
Conserving your energy with good posture will pay off. Bad posture leads to fatigue, that leads to stress, that leads to illness, that results in injury. Long term poor posture can result in:
1. Neck pain
2. Upper back pain
3. Lower back pain
4. Shoulder pain
5. Arm pain
6. Arm numbness
7. Tingling in the arm
8. Muscle weakness
9. Muscle spasms
10. Tight muscles
11. Referred pain
12. Jaw pain
13. increased blood pressure
14. …..the list goes on and on folks!
What does bad posture look like?
1. Forward head
2. Increased upper back curve
3. Slumping
4. Straightening of the neck or
5. Increase curve of the neck
6. Rounded shoulders
7. Increase or decrease in the curve of the low back
What can you do about your posture?
1. You should be able to touch your computer screen with your finger tips.
2. Top of the screen should be level with your eyes.
3. Keyboard should be level with your elbows.
4. Your wrist should be lower than your elbows.
5. The wrist should be supported.
6. Your chair should have adjustable arm supports.
7. Your chair should have an adjustable height option.
8. Your chair should have a head rest.
9. Your chair should also have tilt capacity.
10. The phone should be within arms reach.
11. Feet should be flat on the floor.
12. Strengthen your Rhomboids – for every 20 min. of sitting, keep the shoulders down and squeeze your shoulder blades together as tight as you can for 10 sec. Repeat this strengthening exercise every 20 minutes and you will notice a difference.
13. Strengthen your spinal erectors – while sitting in your chair we have a tendency to slump, this strengthening pose is the reverse of the slump posture. Arch your entire spine (including head), hold this pose for at least 10 seconds. This will strengthen the muscles that keep your back from slumping.
14. Stretch the neck. Turn your head to left half way, sit on your right hand to keep the shoulder down, with the left hand put it on the back of your head and bring the head toward the left arm pit. Do the same on the other side. Repeat sequence except keep your head straight and use the other hand to bring the ear to the shoulder.
15. Exercise – This is a big one, but it must be tailored to the individual. Most people have muscle imbalances that need to be identified, and be prescribed particular exercises.
16. Get ADJUSTED! – This can be one of the most benefical items with this list. Specific spinal adjustments by a chiropractor will help release tight muscles and will allow joints that are restricted in motion to move like they should.
If you think your work place could use an ergonomic evaluation, or would like me to give a short talk over lunch about posture and stress issues in the work place, please call to arrange.
To Your Health,

Orienting new members to parliamentary conventions, familiarising them with national issues and establishing committees for the house to begin functioning are what the new National Council chairperson intends to do on assuming his office.
Trashigang council member Dasho Sonam Kinga yesterday was elected the new National Council chairperson, securing 15 votes of the 25 the members cast.
Two other councilors, who competed for the post, Gasa's Sangay Khandu and Pemagatshel's Jigme Rinzin won eight and two votes respectively.
No sooner than the results were declared, for the next almost one-hour tea break after the election, calls poured in on the chairman-elect's mobile phone from friends, relatives and well wishers and, as he responded, he did so moseying around the lawn outside the National Council hall, the phone glued to his ear.
All the while, some of his colleagues waited around him to wish him.
The chairman, who said the outcome of the election was approximate to his calculations and assessments, occasionally moved into his office to receive more calls.
While in his office, many council members said that was how their phones rang the night before the elections yesterday.
"The three candidates were calling us to support them and called a couple of times again to reconfirm our support," one member said. "After a while, I had to switch off my phone and it wasn't until the election this morning that I turned it on again," said another.
Many said they voted, based on what the candidates pledged for the institution and its members, besides their oratory skills.
As the new chairman, Dasho Sonam Kinga said some of the immediate tasks ahead were, besides orienting members to parliamentary procedures, acquainting them with the committee practices.
That, he said would be followed by a series of policy orientations, where new members would be familiarised with national issues and existing policies that deal with them.
"Thereafter, we also need to immediately institute our committees because National Council as much as the National Assembly functions through its committees," he said, adding formation of committees, electing its chairs, finalising its members, and delegating specific tasks to the committees collectively would be a major preoccupation.
"The reason why we need to do this is to prepare for the first parliament session," he said.
The proceedings in the hall, he said, needed to be rethought, streamlined and strengthened, which entailed revisiting the way the house carried out consultative process for any bills, in terms of policy reviews and committee works.
"Each of these tasks have their strengths and loopholes that need to be addressed," he said.
Although he chose not to specify the strengths to build on and loopholes to address, he said people just needed to watch while they did it.
The deputy chairperson, Haa council representative Tshering Dorji, who was unanimously elected with all 25 'yes' votes, said his first task was to help organise the house, orient members of the review functions and the NC Act.
The first issue they had to get down to, he said, was the council's continuity.
"There was some ambiguity in the interpretation of whether the council should be a continuous house of if members should resign to re-contest," he said. "The new members have to tell us what they think about this issue, come to a consensus and decide the outcome that is best in the interest of the country."
Members also took oath of office, while the chairperson along with the deputy took oath of secrecy with the interim government chief advisor and Supreme Court chief justice Lyonpo Sonam Tobgye.
