Health Care Thought Leaders Release Research Report Finding Automation Is Key to Population Health Management
The Institute for Health Technology Transformationtoday released findings from an Automating Population Health Research Project, which seeks to educate the healthcare industry on how best to apply technology in meeting the challenges of population health management.
Prepared in consultation with a broad range of industry experts, the Population Health Management: A Roadmap for Provider-Based Automation in a New Era of Healthcare report finds that population health management requires healthcare providers to develop new skill sets and new infrastructures for delivering care. To make the transition from fee-for-service reimbursement to accountable care, which depends on the ability to improve population health, providers will need to automate many routine tasks, ranging from identification of care gaps and risk stratification to patient engagement, care management, and outcomes measurement.
"In the era of healthcare reform, provider organizations must change their traditional approach and embrace new ways of thinking about their mission," said Waco Hoover, CEO of the Institute for Health Technology Transformation. "They must not only care for the sick, but also strive to keep their patient populations healthy. Information technology is the key to doing this cost efficiently, and automation can enable care teams to identify and work with the patients who truly need their help."
Report coauthor Paul Grundy, MD, Global Director of Healthcare Transformation for IBM, and President of Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative, commented, "Patient-centered medical homes based on primary care are the building blocks of accountable care, and information technology is the key to successful medical homes. With the help of registries, electronic health records, health information exchanges, and other tools for care coordination and automation, healthcare providers can manage their populations effectively and keep their patients as healthy as possible."
Andy Steele, MD, MPH, Director of Medical Informatics at Denver Health, and another of the report's contributing authors, said, "Given potential health care reform and efforts to increase quality and efficiency of care in the setting of persistent fiscal limitations, the importance of leveraging information technology and focusing on population health management has become a top priority for many health care institutions. Our goal for the project is to provide resources that health care providers can utilize as they are considering and implementing population health management initiatives."
Richard Hodach, MD, MPH, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of Phytel and chair of the report's research committee, commented, "This important new report underscores the message that Phytel has been spreading among physician groups for the past several years. By using technology to identify subpopulations and patients who are at risk, to reach out to those patients, and to automate care management, healthcare providers can provide optimal preventive and chronic care to their patient populations. Providers can also use technology to engage patients in their own care, which is the real key to lowering costs and improving population health. We are proud of our participation in this project, and we hope that the report will be helpful to providers who plan to move in this direction."
Among the healthcare thought leaders who contributed to the Automating Population Health Research Project are Alide Chase, MS, Senior Vice President for Quality and Service, Kaiser Permanente; Robert Fortini, Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer, Bon Secours Health System; Connie White Delaney, PhD, RN, School of Nursing Professor & Dean, Academic Health Center Director, Associate Director of Biomedical Health Informatics, and Acting Director of the Institute for Health Informatics, University of Minnesota; Richard Hodach, MD, MPH, PhD, Chief Medical Officer, Phytel; Paul Grundy, MD, MPH, Global Director of Healthcare Transformation, IBM; Margaret O'Kane, President, National Committee for Quality Assurance; Andy Steele, MD, MPH, Director of Medical Informatics, Denver Health; and Dan Fetterolf, Principal, Fetterolf Healthcare Consulting.

Is The Changing Definition Of Autism Narrowing What We Think Of As 'Normal'?
I first learned about autism in 1997 in my high school psychology course. It was relegated to a small paragraph in a chapter on childhood disorders. The film Rainman had come out a decade earlier, publicizing the condition to a degree. But autism still wasn't well-known – or well-understood, at the time.
That certainly isn't the case today.
Since then I have been a special educator, an autism consultant, and, most recently, an autism advocate and researcher. I explore how both culture and ethics influence autism as a concept, diagnosis and lived experience. One thing that is clear is that the way we think about autism has changed.
As the power and recognition of modern psychiatry as a medical field have expanded, so has the way we think about and define different conditions, including autism. The diagnostic criteria for autism have gotten broader, helping it go from a rare disorder to one that affects one in 68 children in just a few decades.
And this shift isn't unique to autism. The most recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental...
The Boys Who Only Develop A Penis When They Hit The Age Of 12
When born, to all intents and purposes they appear to be female. But when the children referred to as "Guevedoces" in an isolated village in the Dominican Republic reach puberty, things start to change. They develop muscles, their chests start to grow, and by the age of 12, they sprout testes and a penis.
This extraordinary intersex condition, known medically as "5-alpha-reductase deficiency," has been documented for a new BBC2 series "Countdown to Life," which takes a look at how we develop in the womb and how early changes impact us for the rest of our lives. In the program, they meet one of these Guevedoces, which literally translates as "penis at 12," called Johnny.
Talking to presenter and journalist Dr Michael Mosley, Johnny describes his childhood and being brought up as a girl called Felecitia by his parents. "I never liked to dress as a girl and when they bought me toys for girls I never bothered playing with them – when I saw a group of boys I would stop to play ball with them." When he started to develop as male during...
'Food Comas', Or Why Eating Sometimes Makes You Sleepy
We've all done it, enjoyed a delicious meal only to nod off in a comfy chair for a while. For some of us, this is just a habit. But for others, it's unavoidable. So what is it about food that can make us so sleepy?
When we're eating, the stomach is producing gastrin, a hormone that promotes the secretion of digestive juices. As the food enters the small intestine, the cells in the gut secrete even more hormones (enterogastrone) that signal other bodily functions, including blood flow regulation.
But what does this have to do with sleepiness? Well, as we're digesting our meal, more of our blood is shunted to the stomach and gut, to transport away the absorbed newly digested metabolites. This leaves less blood for the rest of the body and can cause some people to feel a bit "light-headed" or tired.
Still, the body is a lot more sophisticated than that; it doesn't respond to food volume alone. What you eat is just as important as the size of your meal.

For many years now, researchers have been...
Vaccines Back In The Headlines – Here's What The Experts Say
September 16th's Republican debate put vaccines back in the headlines, when Ben Carson, a former neurosurgeon, was asked to comment on Donald Trump's statements linking vaccinations to autism. Carson said:
We have extremely well-documented proof that there is no autism associated with vaccinations, but it is true that we're giving way too many in way too short a time and a lot of pediatricians recognize that.
This has sparked a flurry of reminders from physicians, scientists and others that vaccines are safe and that vaccines do not cause autism.
This is a discussion that we have covered again and again and again at The Conversation.
Yet these messages don't seem to have counteracted misinformation about vaccines. That's because these explanations often repeat the very falsehoods they are trying to correct. As Norbert Schwarz and Eryn Newman from the University of Southern California write:
[M]edia reports that intend to correct false information can have the unfortunate effect of increasing its acceptance. Using anecdotes and images makes false information easier to...
Antidepressant Trial Failed To Mention Numerous Suicide Attempts
Clinical notes from a trial of the antidepressant paroxetine, reported as finding it to be both safe and effective for adolescents, in fact showed the opposite, researchers have claimed. The largest re-examination of clinical data from a high profile trial has found a terrifyingly high rate of suicidal behavior that failed to be reported in the controversial study. The revelation could influence the prescription of similar drugs and will add to pressure to change the conduct of clinical drug trials, particularly for antidepressants.
In 2001 the pharmaceutical company SmithKline Beecham (now GlaxoSmithKline) published a paper claiming that a trial, known as Study 329, had found the antidepressant paroxetine was safe for adolescents with depression, and more effective than either a placebo, or the competing drug imipramine.
Also marketed as Aropax, Paxil and Seroxat, paroxetine is a Selective Serotonin Reuptake...
Study Finds People Can Be Identified By The Bacteria They Breathe Out
Everywhere we go, we leave little traces in the form of the bacteria we carry and the skin and hair we shed. In some cases, it's even possible to follow these bacterial breadcrumbs back to the person who left them. But that's not the only way we leave our microbial mark. We also emit what is called a "microbial cloud," and researchers have found that it is also unique enough to be able to identify individual people.
"We expected that we would be able to detect the human microbiome in the air around a person," explained James Meadow, who led the study published in PeerJ, "but we were surprised to find that we could identify most of the occupants just by sampling their microbial cloud." They found that participants of the experiment could be identified within four hours by analyzing the particulates suspended in the air, and looking at the unique combination of bacteria present.
We emit this microbial cloud from our breath, but it's also made up of the bacteria found on our clothes, skin and hair. Previous studies have already found that the...
This Guy Just Raised The Cost Of An HIV Drug By 5000%
Daraprim is used to fight a parasitic infection called toxoplasmosis, which is potentially life-threatening for people with weakened immune systems, such as those with AIDS or cancer. But just last month, the price shot up more than 5,000%, from $13.50 (£8.70) a tablet to $750 (£485) per pill, USA Today reported last week. That means the annual cost of the treatment could be hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Toxoplasmosis is a leading cause of death by a foodborne illness in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The single-celled parasite Toxoplasma gondii infects most animals, though it only reproduces in cats. People become infected by consuming contaminated water or meat and unwashed fruits and vegetables, using contaminated knives and cutting boards, and coming into contact with the feces of infected cats. More than 60 million Americans carry the parasite yet very few show symptoms thanks to their immune systems. However, babies born to women infected while pregnant and anyone with a compromised immune system could suffer severe...
Why Bigger Isn't Always Better In The World Of Muscle Building
The huge muscles sculpted by bodybuilders, action movie stars and other serious gym-goers can make them look like comic-book superheroes. And we tend to equate big muscles with being strong and powerful. But new research has found that – at a cellular level – the large, defined muscles seen on bodybuilders don't fare well against those of power athletes (such as weight lifters or sprinters, whose sport requires high forces produced quickly) or even men who don't train at all.
The research, published in Experimental Physiology, was carried out on individual muscle cells taken from a group of volunteers comprising 12 bodybuilders, six power athletes and 14 control subjects (average men, physically active but not performing weight training). The researchers, led by Hans Degens of Manchester Metropolitan University, stimulated the cells and assessed the size and speed of the force produced from the resulting isometric contractions...
Does A Lack Of Vitamin D Put You At Greater Risk Of Multiple Sclerosis?
People with a combination of genes linked to lower vitamin D levels appear to be at greater risk of developing multiple sclerosis, according to the authors of a recent study. The paper's researchers used data from a very large genetic study of 14,000 people with MS (specifically looking at a chemical produced from vitamin D) and compared their genetic backgrounds to people without the disease. The results showed that people with decreased vitamin D due to their genetics were twice as likely to develop multiple sclerosis – although the risk was still very low.
The finding sheds further light on a previously suggested link between MS and sunshine levels, a common source of vitamin D. But what does this mean for our understanding of the causes of MS? And more importantly, does this help us in the quest to develop new and better treatments for the disease?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex disease, with many different symptoms and a propensity to come and go (relapse and remit as doctors would say). But when it strikes it can be devastating, often completely incapacitating the...
How Does The Immune System Learn?
We're outnumbered by bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi that can make us ill. And the only thing standing between them and our devastation is our immune system.
The immune system does such a good job most of the time that we only really think about it when things go wrong. But to provide such excellent protection against a whole host of pathogens, our immune system must constantly learn.
Parts Of The Whole
The immune system is made up of two equally important parts: innate immunity and adaptive immunity.
Innate immunity rapidly responds to invaders; innate immunity cells deal with more than 90% of infections, removing them within hours or days. These cells recognise invaders by looking for broad shared patterns, such as common molecules on the surface of most bacteria. They might look for lipopolysaccharides (LPS), for instance, a molecule found in many bacterial cell walls.
When the innate response fails to fend off an invasion, the invaders are handled by adaptive...

New Device Could Revive Dead Hearts
In the past, organs were traditionally cooled to preserve them for transplantation. However, cold is old and warm is where it's at for heart transplants. The Organ Care System, or "heart in a box," is a new heart-storage system that keeps hearts warm and beating while they are being transferred from a donor to a new patient.
Designed by Transmedics, the system consists of a transportable cart that keeps the heart at the appropriate temperature and humidity while supplying it with oxygen, blood and nutrients. These are fed through tubing clamped to the heart to help it continue to beat. Currently, "heart in a box" costs $250,000 – too expensive to be distributed to every hospital at this stage of the design.
The device allows surgeons to take hearts from donors that would not have been eligible in the past. The pool of possible donors was rather limited since hearts were taken from brain-dead individuals whose bodies were still healthy. But the "heart in a box" can reanimate a heart that has stopped beating in a body that has undergone "circulatory death," where the...
Poo Transplants Can Eliminate Two Superbugs From The Gut: Mice Study
Two of the most common antibiotic-resistant bacteria circulating in hospitals can be wiped out by transplanting faeces from a healthy animal into the gut of an infected one, a study on mice has found.
The study, published today in the journal PLOS Pathogens examined two antibiotic resistant bugs: vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE) and multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumonia.
The study, published today in the journal PLOS Pathogens examined two antibiotic resistant bugs: vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium(VRE) and multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.
A research team led by Eric Pamer, Chief of Infectious Diseases at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre in New York found that the bacteria can share the same location in the gut, but that "transplantation of a diverse faecal microbiota eliminates both VRE and K. pneumoniae from the gut."
Mark Morrison, Chair of Microbial Biology and Metagenomics at the University of Queensland said the study revealed some new insights into how...
Can You Be Allergic To Your Wi-Fi?
Electromagnetic fields are all around us. They are a part of our natural environment, produced by the Earth and the sun. But they are also becoming increasingly prominent with advancements in technology, such that we are surrounded daily by many different sources of electromagnetic energy.
Mobile phones, Wi-Fi, personal computers, smart meters, radio, television and even the TV remote control – they all emit this kind of energy. Mobile phone base stations are continually being installed, and Wi-Fi hotspots are increasing all of the time.
Cafés and restaurants, libraries, hotels and even some city centres and parks now offer free Wi-Fi. But with all of this new infrastructure it is also getting harder to avoid exposure to the electromagnetic fields that these technologies emit.
And the question often asked is what does all of this exposure mean for our health?
It is an issue that has continued to gain exposure, culminating this...
New Study Suggests HIV-Prevention Pill May Be 100% Effective
Researchers working with 600 people who use the HIV prevention pill Truvada have just revealed their striking results: after more than two-and-a-half years, no new HIV infections have been detected. The work was published in Clinical Infectious Diseases this week.
The daily pill Truvada is what's known as an HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Green-lit by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in July 2012, it's the first drug approved that reduces the risk of infection in uninfected individuals who may engage in sexual activity with HIV-infected partners. When the person is exposed to HIV, two anti-retroviral medicines (called tenofovir and emtricitabine) contained within the pill work to keep the virus from establishing a permanent infection when taken consistently, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Early on, the blue pill was criticized for encouraging unsafe sex because of a false sense of security, SFGate reports. However, a published study that looked at sexual risk compensation in those taking PrEP found this not to be the case, and in fact observed a
THC In Marijuana Delays Organ Transplant Rejection In Mice
A new study suggests the active ingredient in marijuana delays the rejection of incompatible organs in mice. The results were published in the Journal of Leukocyte Biology.
For the study, researchers transplanted the skin from one group of mice to a group of genetically different mice. The incompatible skin was treated with either a placebo or THC, the active compound in cannabis.
Due to the genetically different nature of the transplants, the mice's immune systems should have recognised the tissue as foreign and rejected it. However, the THC-treated transplants delayed rejection of the skin grafts when compared to the placebo group.
"We are excited to demonstrate for the first time that cannabinoid receptors play an important role in the prolongation of rejection of a foreign graft by suppressing immune response in the recipient," said Mitzi Nagarkatti, co-author of the study from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, in a statement.
If the same holds true for humans, THC could be used as an anti-rejection therapy – especially for patients whose transplanted organ is not adapting...
New Test Determines How Fast You're Aging
Even when people are born in the same year, they can often look very different as they age. Some appear younger, and others older than their chronological age. But it's not just looks - earlier this year researchers were able to show that people do indeed age at different rates. Now another group of scientists claims to have developed a way of testing how well a person is aging, and could help health professionals to predict who might be at a higher risk of dementia or other age-related conditions.
"We use birth year, or chronological age, to judge everything from insurance premiums to whether you get a medical procedure or not," explained James Timmons, who led the study, published in Genome Biology, in a statement. "Most people accept that all 60 year olds are not the same, but there has been no reliable test for underlying 'biological age'."
That is, according to the researchers, until now. They say that they have determined a "gene signature" present in the blood that indicates if an...
New Bandage Sucks Bacteria Out Of A Wound
Bandages are an important barrier between the wound and the world. They prevent bacteria entering the body and causing infection. However, what about bacteria that have already found their way into a scratch? Introducing the bandage that's a total rip-off. It "sucks out" bacteria from a cut, allowing them to be removed along with the bandage.
The technology, in development at the Swinburne University of Technology in Australia, hasn't been tested on human skin yet, only on tissue-engineered skin models. The results can be seen in Applied Materials & Interfaces and Biointerfaces.
The bacterial species investigated included Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, both of which are known to cause chronic wound infection.
The bandage is created from a mesh of polymer filaments. Each strand is so fine that it is 100 times thinner than a human hair. They are made by squeezing the material out of an electrified nozzle in a technique called electrospinning.
When first tested on a film of S. aureus, a bacterium frequently found on the skin, the researchers found that the...
A New Way To Test Your 'Biological' Age
From denying that age is important to obsessively monitoring the calorific content of our diets, humans obsess one way or another about getting older. How we define ageing or when you become "old" is not trivial. In biomedical studies, particular those focused on the molecular mechanisms of growing older, loss of function and biomarkers of disease are used to define how much you have aged. From my perspective, this is almost certainly misleading.
In humans, chronological age defines the time since you were born. Whether you are considered old within your community, depends on many factors. For example, when I grew up in Glasgow in the 1970s, a 60-year-old man was very old, but a 60-year-old man in Stockholm today could be almost considered middle-aged. An alternative definition for old age, articulated by Warren Sanderson and Sergei Scherbov defines when, for example, you have ten years of life expectancy left.
So the average life expectancy varies from community to community, reflecting a mix of genetics, environment and randomly determined factors. Why you wish to define "old"...
When Should You Take Antibiotics?
Antibiotic-resistant superbugs are on the rise and we're being urged to forgo antibiotics wherever possible to limit their spread. But serious bacterial infections can only be dealt with effectively using these drugs.
So when should you take antibiotics? The easy answer, of course, is when your doctor tells you to. But there's more to it.
We know that rates of bacterial resistance track antibiotic usage rates. So, as a community, the more we take these drugs, the more likely we are to have superbugs down the line. And Australia may face a bleak future in these terms.
Antibiotic Myths And Facts
The Australian government's 2015-2019 National Antimicrobial Resistance Strategy highlighted some interesting, if somewhat disturbing, facts:
• a 2014 poll of Australian workers showed 65% believed taking antibiotics would help them recover faster from a cold or flu
• 20% of people expect antibiotics for viral infections, such as a cold or the flu
• nearly 60% of GPs surveyed would prescribe antibiotics to meet...
New Prion Disease Raises Questions About Whether Alzheimer's And Parkinson's Could Be Infectious
Research published last week has identified the first new human prion disease in 50 years. The paper's lead author, Stanley Prusiner, who won the Nobel prize in 1997 for his discovery that Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) could be transmitted by a "misfolded" protein, says this new disease is also potentially infectious.
Prion diseases are a rare class of brain disorders that are transmissible between animals of any species, including humans. The archetypal such disease is kuru, which spread through cannibalistic rituals in the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea.
Rare And Deadly
Kuru affected mostly women and children of the Fore tribe, who ate brains and spinal cords of deceased relatives, and subsequently developed body tremors, balance problems and slurred speech. There's no cure for kuru and sufferers always died. But it no longer strikes as cannibalism in the region has been eliminated.

Touch-Sensitive Dress Adds High-Tech Flair To Barbie's Wardrobe [Pics]
The popular doll gets a wearable technology update with an LED infused LBD.
Being no stranger to the fashion world, Barbie has also been wearing the latest in runway couture. Keeping up with Barbie's insatiable fashion appetite, Mattel recently designed a new digital dress that uses LED and touch-screen technology. The technology embedded into the Barbie doll allows for customizable designs. With a simple tap, Kids can turn on the LEDs and change the dress color.
The ingenuity lies Barbie's little black dress, which uses a 4.5 square inch resistive touch panel and 114 tri-color LEDS. Built-in memory can store up to 40 different designs, giving Barbie one versatile outfit.
The Barbie Digital Dress Doll can be purchased here for $49.99. Seeing as how Christmas is just a few months away, maybe it is time to stock up on these tech-enhanced dolls.

Amarillo to Santa Fe
... a sort of Mountainous region (there is a Ski resort not far) it is really hot in the day but in the evening the temperature drops massively, it was freezing! in fact despite me having got burnt yesterday, we have woken up this morning to SNOW! This place is insane weather wise! Off to buy a cowboy hat today tho, i finally understand why they do wear them.
We also have the shortest drive today too. Only a one hour drive, to Alburqurque.
Route 66 - Grants to Albuquerque to Santa Fe
... took a walk down town. We saw more box houses along the way. Santa Fe reminds me of a Mexican Leura. Its pretty and there are quaint little shops and a lot of art galleries. There is a plaza that looks a lot like Parque Central in Antigua. There are even street vendors on the corners selling fajitas, but they cost $6 each, you could have gotten 10 of those for that price in Antigua. We see a couple of churches including the oldest church in America. We also see ...
Taos Pueblo
Up early as usual these days to Patrick's nightmare. He limes his sleep ins! Continental breakfast on styrofoam plates but the room itself fantastic. Slept really well and ad a wonderful hot shower before breakfast. Away early and drove a scenic route to Taos which took the better part if two hours. We were the first to arrive to the pueblo and did not meet a single tourist until we had had enough and was about to walk back to the car park. The pueblo, Unesco heritage listed since 1992, ...
Rancheros de Santa Fe - day two
... on the square in Old Taos, while I sat in the big gazebo in the center of the square and imagined what the town must have looked like 300 years ago when the Spanish founded it. I have also always been intrigued by the life of Kit Carson, one of the truly great old West characters in American history, who lived here. We ate lunch at the "Gorge" Restaurant in the heart of town and it ...
One and a half days exploring Santa Fe
... through Taos, but by then our rain conjuring abilities had kicked in and it was raining very hard so we drove straight into Santa Fe.
It is strange how different states have different expectations for how fast to set the speed limit. I consistently found myself (typically a lead foot) driving under the speed limit in Colorado. How people can drive 65 MPH on curvy roads with no shoulders and lots ...

The al Qaeda Islamist militant group once planned to demolish New York's Brooklyn Bridge, blow up grounded airliners with explosive-laden vans and derail passenger trains, Newsweek magazine reported yesterday.
Quoting federal investigators who interrogated captured al Qaeda operations chief Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the magazine said he told them he recruited a naturalized U.S. citizen, a truck driver from Columbus, Ohio, named Lyman Farris, to assess several terrorist attacks in the United States that never materialized.
One of them was to determine whether acetylene torches could be used to cut the cables supporting the Brooklyn Bridge, sending it crashing into the East River, the newsweekly reported.
Another was the use of "torque tools" to bend railroad tracks, sending passenger trains crashing off their rails.
Still another was to drive a small, explosives-packed van into an airport and beneath a commercial airliner as it sat on the runway, blowing up the plane.
Mr. Farris reportedly told Mohammed that as a licensed truck driver he could penetrate airport security without problem, Newsweek said.
"None of these plots ever came off," said Newsweek, and "Farris has disappeared."
The magazine quoted sources as saying Mohammed was uncooperative and offered no information after his capture in Pakistan in March, but began talking when confronted with the contents of his computer and his cell-phone records.
Mohammed "revealed an overhaul of al Qaeda's approach to penetrating America," after its September 11 attacks in the United States.
The network began to rely on operatives who would be harder to detect, recruiting U.S. citizens or people with legitimate Western passports who could move freely in the United States, Newsweek reported.
"They used women and family members as support personnel, and made an effort to find African-American Muslims who would be sympathetic to Islamic extremism," the magazine said Mohammed told federal investigators.
Citing interrogators, the magazine said Mohammed recruited a former Baltimore resident named Majid Khan to formulate a plan to blow up several U.S. gas stations simultaneously by detonating explosives fitted to their underground storage tanks.
That plot, too, never came to fruition, the magazine said.

Speaker Spotlight: Pathfinders Gina McCauley, Katherine Stone & Debbie Bookstaber
By Polly Pagenhart on July 18, 2011
BlogHer Original Post
This year, BlogHer's annual conference will be preceded by Pathfinder Day, a day-long intensive intended to provide inspiration, ideas, even answers for bloggers who've reached a crossroads and asked themselves: Where do I go from here?
A dozen experienced bloggers will break down the process by which they've used their work online to take themselves (and/or their readers) down various paths. They have used their work online to change themselves, to affect social change, to launch (or become) a business, a media company, or a book. They'll spend the morning in "fundamentals workshops," explaining just what practices and structures make a blog a business, say, or a change agent. The afternoon is dedicated to conversation: eliciting your stories from you, helping you plot the next steps in your or your blog's journey.
Brand strategist Sandra Miley will set the context over breakfast, demystifying and delineating what it means to clarify your personal "brand": understanding yourself, what you want, and how to communicate to the right people at the right time to get the right things. Over lunch, author and self-esteem expert Jess Weiner will help make it personal: where do you find the confidence to take the next step?
There are any number of evolutionary paths for your blogging work. For many, the task ahead is to take the social change work of the blog to the proverbial "next level." In the My Blog as Change Agent Pathfinder track, Gina McCauley and Katherine Stone, joined in the morning by moderator Debbie Bookstaber, will break down such matters as:
- How, when and why to set up a non-profit, including setting up a board
- Exploring online fundraising tools
- Key milestones/flags in the process of evolution from high-profile individual to "poster child" for the issue
- Identifying what elements it takes to be successful at this work; what contributes to efficacy, longevity
- Working with traditional organizations that predate one's online work
- Leveraging online audience for offline results, whether in political, organizational, or social realms
Gina McCauley's digital footprint is both large and consequential: She founded Blogging While Brown, the first international conference for bloggers of color (it just wrapped its fourth annual gathering a little over a week ago), was named one of Essence magazine's 25 Most Influential African Americans for her work as founder/publisher of What About Our Daughters, and continues her work on Michelle Obama Watch. Her blog readers have successfully lobbied large advertisers to pull their ads from content that demeans and degrades black women and girls, and her blogs have provided platforms from which she has highlighted under-reported cases of violence against black women. Her vision and efficacy has rightly earned her the descriptor "the dean of black bloggers."
Katherine Stone's work online has had equally wide reach: Her award-winning Postpartum Progress is the most widely-read blog on postpartum depression and other mental illnesses related to pregnancy and childbirth. Katherine is also the founder of Postpartum Progress, Inc., a non-profit focused on improving the health and well-being of women, children and families by improving access to and quality of services and support for women with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders like postpartum depression. She has taken her voice to congressional hearings, to the Today Show, and all over the web.
Debbie Bookstaber is founder and executive director of Bloganthropy, a nonprofit organization that helps combine the power of social media with the resources of corporate giving, connecting companies and bloggers for social good. To this work, Debbie brings extensive experience in online and affiliate marketing, and models the philanthropic leadership celebrated by Bloganthropy: The revenues from her product review site Mamanista.com -– both from affiliate marketing and CPM advertising -– go to charity.
These are incredible women with whom to spend the day envisioning your online (and offline) work. Spaces still remain for Pathfinder Day: My Blog as Change Agent, Thursday, August 4, 2011, at the San Diego Marriott and Convention Center. Register here.

As one of the strongest personalities in popular music, Kanye West has often come off as brash, abrasive and impatient, though that's all changing now that he's married and has a kid.
It's amazing that she has time to breathe, and yet Kim Kardashian insists she's very interested in getting pregnant as soon as humanly possible.
In her new interview with People magazine, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" cutie declares that she and her husband Kanye West are determined to give their daughter North a little brother or sister.
They love a good party and when Kim Kardashian and Kanye West got an invitation to John Legend's birthday celebration they didn't hesitate to RSVP.
Preparing for flight, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West arrived at LAX International Airport in Los Angeles, CA on Wednesday (January 7). The power couple hopped on a jet and flew to New York City for work events.
After landing, the 34-year-old reality star shared a selfie on Instagram and wrote, "NYC glam today @joycebonelli @michaelsilvahair"
Paying tribute to his beloved mom in the New Year, Kanye West released a new track called "Only One," a collaboration with Paul McCartney, on New Year's Day.
Things in the Kardashian Family are definitely changing as Kim Kardashian won't be opening presents at her mom Kris Jenner's home on Christmas Day.
Earlier today (December 22) Balmain announced a new campaign with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West and now we have additional teaser shots from the spread.
Adding some celebrity spice to the mix, Balmain's creative director Olivier Rousteing has just unveiled a major surprise for his menswear spread- Kim Kardashian and Kanye West! The E! reality starlet and her "Black Skinhead" rapper hubby are featured in a new Spring 2015 preview that appeared on both Rousteing's and Kardashian's Instagram accounts this morning (December 22).

Asp.net mvc - jQuery upload file using jQuery's ajax method (without plugins) AJAX or more appropriately XMLHttpRequest does not support file uploads yet.
There are workarounds such as uploading through an <iframe>, but its rather cumbersome. Your time will be better spent in building your applications rather than reinventing these solutions. But if you're curios as to how it works internally, then feel free to checkout the source code of some of the plugins that offer this functionality. A very simple explanation can be found at this link - Basically, you change the form target to submit inside an <iframe>, thus avoiding the page refresh, and simulating AJAX, which it isn't really, but who cares - the end user can't tell. A minimal example for an iframe based upload may look like this: Note that this does not do any response handling, but just sends the picture to the server.
Regex. Sélecteur RegExp pour jQuery. Traduction de l'article de James Padlosey : Regex Selector for jQuery. il y a quelques temps, j'ai publié un article (traduction) expliquant combien c'était ultimement génial d'étendre les sélecteurs de filtres de jQuery. En partant de ça, voici quelque chose de nouveau : un sélecteur par expressions régulières. les sélecteurs (CSS 3) d'attributs actuels de jQuery permettent une notation par expressions régulière basique, mais rien qui s'approche de ceci. :regex Utilisation C'est assez simple à utiliser, vous avez besoin de passer un attribut et une expression régulière à tester. // Sélectionne tous les éléments dont l'id commence par une voyelle : $(':regex(id,^[aeiou])'); // Sélectionne tous les divs dont la classe contient un chiffre : $('div:regex(class,[0-9])');

What is Overmanifesting?
What is Overmanifesting?
We all have read and studied how to manifest goals into reality. I x V = R. Imagination times Visualization equals Reality. If you can imagine it and visualize your dream, you can realize it. The Secret made it sound easy, right? So how come the new car,new love or new job hasn't arrived? Well, you may be overmanifesting. This occurs when you focus so much on wanting something that you don't allow it to manifest for you. Manifesting is co-creating with the universe. The universe can't do its part until you release it, let go and allow it to return the goal to you. Your job, when manifesting, is to create what you want to bring into your life, visualize it, prepare for it and then release it to the universe. Its job is to bring your ideas into reality and return it to you. This can't happen if you don't do your job of releasing it. So how do you know if you're overmanifesting? There are four signs to look out for.

In its Turning the Town Truvia campaign, the sugar alternative is asking fans where they'd like to see the product.
Instead of painting the town red, sugar alternative Truvia is Turning the Town Truvia by asking fans to submit the names of eateries where they'd like to see the product.
And, two and a half months into the campaign, Truvia has netted 35,000 leads and boosted its Facebook fans by 25%.
Each nomination submitted via Truvia's Facebook page will count as an entry for a chance to win $5,000. Participants also receive coupons for $1 off Truvia products in exchange for their contributions.
When a particular location receives multiple nominations, Truvia assembles a welcome kit, says Mark Brooks, global consumer products director for Truvia. Each kit includes a welcome letter to the Turning the Town Truvia program, a Truvia mug, an 80-count box of Truvia natural sweetener and a package of the Truvia Behind the Bar product.
Truvia says it is still finalizing outreach details to one-time nominees.
According to Brooks, the goal is to incentivize potential customers to understand how Truvia fits their own brands and why they should bring in the product.
The campaign is running from October 1 to December 23. So far, it has received consumer nominations in five target cities: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, New York and Seattle.
Truvia adopters as a result of the campaign include the Hilton Atlanta, Hilton Boston Logan Airport, Biaggi's in Chicago and the Fireman Hospitality Group, which includes Bond 45, Café Fiorello, Redeye Grill, Brooklyn Diner and Trattoria Dell'Arte.
In addition, Truvia's Facebook fan base stands at nearly 104,000 likes.
Truvia is promoting the campaign via print, broadcast, online and social media spots in coordination with CBS Network. Geo-targeted Facebook ads ran in the five target cities. Truvia also sponsored posts targeted to fans in the five cities during three in-market promotions held at local bakeries.
In addition to ClickZ and Search Engine Watch, Lisa's work has appeared in The Huffington Post, The Luxury Spot, LearnVest, MarthaStewart.com, GoodHousekeeping.com, amNewYork, and The Wall Street Journal. She's a graduate of Columbia's School of Journalism.

I don't think "awareness" was the big issue. I think they do mention the retired numbers somewhere in the game programs.
The issue was that we haven't retired any numbers in forever because we don't want to take any more out of circulation, but that's not really fair to guys like Desmond and Woodson, who obviously are worthy candidates. The Legends patch thing can allow us to honor these guys without running out of numbers.
