The story of Polar Bear, the stray cat rescued by Amory in 1978, began with the best-selling The Cat Who Came for Christmas ( LJ 10/1/87) and continued with The Cat and the Curmudgeon ( LJ 8/1/90). It reaches its inevitable conclusion here. However, readers expecting multiple cat stories and a continuation of the Amory-Polar Bear antics may be disappointed. Most of the book concerns Amory's reflections on his life (i.e., his class reunion at Harvard) and his views on humane issues (not surprising when you realize he founded the Fund for Animals). Luckily, Amory is a very readable writer, and he is able to present his sideline comments and musings without appearing to stand on a soapbox. Two highlights of this volume are Amory's response to his classmates' appeal for a donation to their class fund and the final chapter, with his heartfelt perspective on pet loss. Despite its rambling style, The Best Cat Ever will have animal lovers everywhere lapping it up like a bowl of warm milk.
- Edell Marie Schaefer, Brookfield P.L., Wis.
Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.
The eponymous feline is, of course, Polar Bear, the stray Amory adopted in The Cat Who Came for Christmas (1987) and celebrated in The Cat and the Curmudgeon (1990). But as the new book opens, the venerable puss has "been with" Amory for 14 years: no one quite knows how old he was when he was snatched from the snow on Christmas Eve. So after Amory strolls down a pre-Polar Bear memory lane--with his usual entertaining tales and ever-so-catty comments about places (Milton Academy and Harvard), people (Kate Hepburn, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and other celebrities), and publications (the Saturday Evening Post and TV Guide)--he gets down to brass tacks: the medical problems that beset man and beast in their later years. Amory and Polar Bear both suffer from arthritis; Amory is hit by a truck; and Polar Bear develops serious kidney problems. As pompous as Amory's prose can be, his love and respect for the critter with whom he lived for a decade and a half are palpable. Expect requests for this final entry in the Polar Bear saga.

VIDEO: A Florida icon and the state's 37th Governor, Reubin Askew, died Thursday at the age of 85.
3 An icon of Florida politics ..has passed away. Florida's 37th Governor... Reubin Askew died this morning at age 85. A dark horse candidate back in 19-70 ... Askew is credited with ethics reform, creating a fair tax system, and restoring confidence in state government. As Channel 4's Mike Vasilinda tells us, Askew became one of the most respected governors in the country. 3 14-2746-501'01- 1'071'08-1'131'29-1'37As a state Senator from Pensacola, Askew championed racial equality and the fair drawing of legislative districts. In this 2001 interview, he recounted threats made by the power structure at the time. Sot: Reubin Askew May 9, 2001 "He told me I would never see a university in West Florida if I kept voting that way and as brazen as I was, I looked him square in the eye and I said, 'Dewey, I'm going to get a university and I'm gonna be here after you're gone.'"Florida's 37th governor championed financial disclosure for public officials, going around a reluctant legislatureNat sot of Askew: "I'm doin' your business and frankly you have a right to know essentially what I'm doing."Current Senate President Don Gaetz calls it a landmark of integrity.Sot: Don Gaetz R-Niceville Senate President "Florida became the model for America in open government because of what Reubin Askew did."Mike Vasilinda standup "As Governor Askew usually got what he wanted from lawmakers, keeping score cards on how they voted and threatening them with calls to their editorial board."Sot: Guy Spearman Former Askew Aide "There was no question you knew where he stood. There was not ever a doubt as to what his position was."Mike Vasilinda Standup "The first time I ever Reubin Askew a question back in 1974, he yelled at me."Generally liked by the press, Askew didn't mince words when something was written he didn't like.Nat sot: "I'm just sayin' what you wrote was an unfair story."In this 1978 clip, he takes a Miami Herald reporter to task for a story on a trade mission to Japan. Sot: Reubin Askew 1978 "I don't care if we'd a gone in the bottom of a cargo ship, you would have said it was a junket."Askew will lie in state at the Old Capitol, which ironically he once wanted torn down, but later admitted he was wrong. In Tallahassee, I'm Mike Vasilinda reporting. Askew ran unsuccessfully for the democratic Presidential nomination in 1984. After his public service, he went on to teach at nine of the state's universities. He ended that second career teaching political science and government at FSU. His funeral will be held in Tallahassee, with burial in Pensacola.

Bottom Line
CyberPatrol offers flexible and comprehensive parental control. Its IM filtering is innovative, though it needs some tuning. You can use it in home, school, library, or business settings. It's an especially good choice for school or library, where its lack of remote management and notification features won't matter.

April 2010
A Message from Ken Carson, Provost
Commencement is my favorite Geneva College activity. As provost, I have a leadership role in academic affairs, student development and athletics, so I have a lot of activities from which to choose. Commencement wins easily.
Why is it my favorite? Because Commencement is the culmination of everything that we try to accomplish at Geneva. It is a celebration of many things. First and foremost, we celebrate academic achievement. Only about one third of the American population has a bachelor′s degree (or higher). Graduating from college is a significant milestone that is not easily accomplished. We have a challenging curriculum-including a rigorous set of core requirements-that tests students′ abilities and motivation.
In addition, for many students, Commencement celebrates four years of engagement in campus life-everything from being in Bible studies to playing intramurals, from going on mystery bus trips to spring break mission trips. For nearly a fifth of the student body, Commencement marks the completion of their college athletic career, and time when their athletic skills and abilities were tested far more than they had imagined. The traditional student starts college at age 18 and leaves at age 22. A significant amount of "growing up" occurs during those years, and Commencement is an important marker.
Geneva actually has two commencement ceremonies each year, which only serves to double the fun. We have a separate event to celebrate the graduates of our adult (non-traditional) undergraduates and our graduate students. This ceremony is equally joyous and fun. In some ways, it is even more fun, because these are students who are accomplishing something that is increasingly more unusual in our day and time.
I like to have fun at Commencement. Unlike at larger institutions, the name of each graduate is publicly announced. Hoopla from family and friends is not frowned on; it is actually encouraged. And, we have recently made changes that allow graduating students to sit with their friends rather than in impersonal alphabetic order. What a joyous (and noisy) time!
In addition, I usually do one or two special celebrations as well. Consider these two examples.
I hope you can tell how much fun it is to do these kinds of things in addition to calling the names of each undergraduate student and hearing the boisterous support that they get from friends and family. It is such a privilege to be involved in this academic duty, and I look forward to the day when you and your child are among the celebrants.

To be sure, the Fayetteville-Manlius football team was in the midst of a rough showing in last Saturday's Section III Class AA semifinal against the Auburn Maroons at Cicero-North Syracuse's Bragman Stadium.
Yet as the final seconds of regulation ticked down, the Hornets smartly moved inside Auburn's red zone, one big play away from tying -- or perhaps winning -- this showdown to see who would oppose Rome Free Academy in the title game at the Carrier Dome.
And this was on the same CNS field where, eight days earlier, F-M had pulled off something close to a miracle in ending CBA's two-year reign as champions in the first round. Perhaps this place had magical powers.
All of those thoughts went away, though, when Colin Parry intercepted Buddy Leathley's pass near the goal line as time ran out.
By a 21-14 margin, the Maroons kept its Cinderella story alive, reaching its first-ever sectional final -- and, in the process, kept the Hornets from advancing to the Dome for the third year in a row.
Quite unlike that 43-35 epic with CBA, the Hornets played superb defense from beginning to end, only to be done in by a few special-teams lapses and a recurrence of its early-season turnover issue.
Auburn's presence here was, in many ways, more miraculous than F-M's. It wasn't even in the original field of eight, and entered only because Corcoran had to forfeit two victories for using an ineligible fifth-year senior.
Once in the show, the Maroons looked to be done in last Monday's opening round against Henninger, trailing by 20 with less than nine minutes left -- only to score 28 points in a fourth-quarter flurry based upon three fumble recoveries on kickoffs to shock the Black Knights 47-40.
A mere five days later, against F-M, Auburn still had that momentum. Matt Hoey returned the opening kickoff 57 yards, setting up a short drive culminated by Quendel Ellison's three-yard toucnhdown run.

Wells Fargo Family Office Aims for Clients With $50 Million
Wells Fargo & Co., the fourth-largest U.S. bank by assets, is courting families worth $50 million or more with the start of its Abbot Downing advisory unit.
Abbot Downing, which plans to begin operations under its own name in April, combines the businesses of Wells Fargo Family Wealth, the bank's family office, and Lowry Hill private asset management, an investment-management and financial-planning subsidiary that works with individuals, foundations and endowments, among others, with $10 million or more in assets, the company said in a press release today.
"We're aggregating a number of capabilities that we've had at Wells Fargo under one umbrella," David Carroll, head of wealth, brokerage and retirement for San Francisco-based Wells Fargo, said in a telephone interview before the announcement. "As arguably the best-capitalized financial institution in the U.S., we think the affiliation with Wells Fargo will be very relevant," for families looking for intergenerational wealth management, he said.
The combined assets of about $27.5 billion would make Abbot Downing the fourth-largest family office behind HSBC Holdings Plc's private wealth solutions unit, Bessemer Trust Co. and UBS AG's wealth-management business, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Bringing the two units together means Abbot Downing will be managing the finances of about 575 families across the country, and also will serve families' foundations and endowments, Carroll said.
'Great Fortunes'
Abbot Downing generally will have a minimum of $50 million for new clients, even though some existing customers brought over from the merged units may have less. New clients with $5 million to $50 million generally will be referred to Wells Fargo Private Bank, Carroll said.
The rebranded unit's new clients will come in part from the bank's small-business customers, often owners who work with Wells Fargo in selling their businesses, said James Steiner, an executive vice president of Wells Fargo, who will be the head of Abbot Downing.
"If you think about the instances when great fortunes are realized, frequently Wells Fargo is at the table advising business owners," Carroll said.
Abbot Downing will offer in-house and third-party investments and will invest in stocks, bonds, hedge funds and real estate, according to Sandy Deem, a Wells Fargo spokeswoman.
There are about 10,000 households in the U.S. with $50 million or more in investable assets controlling more than $1 trillion, according to the release. Small businesses are more likely to get sold than passed to heirs, so the number of ultra wealthy will rise, Carroll said.
Average Fees
Fees will be "competitive with what folks in the industry are offering," said Steiner, who declined to provide details on costs. Multifamily offices in North America charged new clients an average minimum of $81,500 in annual fees in 2010, according to the Family Wealth Alliance LLC, a research and consulting firm that tracks the industry. The offices had an average minimum for new clients of $13.4 million, meaning the fees would equate to about 61 basis points. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
'Cradle on Wheels'
Abbot Downing is named for the builder of the Concord Coach, the 19th-century stagecoach featured in Wells Fargo's branding. Mark Twain said the coach was like a "cradle on wheels," because the type of suspension it used made the coach rock, according to the Wells Fargo website.
Abbot Downing will be competitive by offering personalized service and because of the breadth of resources Wells Fargo offers, Steiner said. Some of its advisers may serve as few as 15 clients, he said.
The name Abbot Downing is being used to show the family office is a separate unit that has the strength and backing of Wells Fargo behind it, said Carroll.
There are more than 3,000 family offices in North America advising on more than $1.6 trillion in assets, according to estimates from the Wheaton, Illinois-based Family Wealth Alliance.

Chinese-American Architect Proposes Globular Bowl for Atop I-395
Holy bejeezus. Mike Neibauer reports in today's BizJo that Alfred Liu, president of AEPA Architects Engineers P.C., is pitching a 1.7-million square foot "Washington Global Trade Center" that would sit over the I-395 freeway between K Street and New York Avenue. The office building, meant primarily for foreign enterprises seeking to do business in the U.S., would be nested in a gigantic globe split longitudinally on either side.
Decking over the highway wouldn't be a problem. The city generally favors making use of those air rights, as with Louis Dreyfus Property Group's planned "Return to L'Enfant" project to the south.
The issue would come in convincing D.C.'s various review bodies to get on board something that looks like it belongs in Dubai, not the architecturally stodgy capital of the United States. Liu's most prominent work in D.C. is the Wah Luck House at 6th and H NW, which is no shining example of enlightened design, and his pagoda-ed proposal for an international trade center above the Gallery Place Metro stop lost out to Herb Miller's (most of his clients are in China). I predict this latest outlandish idea will probably end up fairly quickly in the Unbuilt Washington exhibit. (Correction: This post originally said the Wah Luck House was at 4th and H, not 6th and H.)
But if Liu can come up with the money and the foreign investment he promises, the city would be wise not to disregard it so quickly—it's capital and guts that the city can't afford to brush off.

Furthermore, prior experience attenuates the anxiolytic response to the benzodiazepines diazepam (0.25 to 2 mg/kg) and lorazepam (0.5 to 4 mg/kg). The result was first discussed in term of "one trial tolerance." The anxiety baseline was increased during the retest, which counteracted the anxiolytic action of benzodiazepines. To ascertain if memory processes are also implicated, the cholinergic drugs scopolamine and oxotremorine were used. Additional experiments with the GABAergic inverse agonist FG7142 and with the 5-HT1A receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT were also performed. Administration of scopolamine and 8-OH-DPAT-induced weak impairment of memory, when administered before the second trial, but no effect was seen with cognition enhancing agents.Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior 01/1998; 58(4):1131-8.

Article: The panicogenic effects of cholecystokinin-tetrapeptide are antagonized by L-365,260, a central cholecystokinin receptor antagonist, in patients with panic disorder[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated whether the selective brain cholecystokinin (CCKB) receptor antagonist, L-365,260, could antagonize the panicogenic effects of CCK-tetrapeptide (CCK-4) in patients with panic disorder. The study employed a double-blind, placebo-controlled, two-period crossover design. Patients (N = 29) received a single oral dose of L-365,260 (10 or 50 mg) or placebo 90 minutes prior to injection of CCK-4. After a 1-week washout period, patients received a different dose of L-365,260 or placebo according to a balanced incomplete block design. The 50-mg dose of L-365,260 was superior to placebo in reducing the number (P < .01) and sum intensity (P < .001) of symptoms induced with CCK-4. Panic attack frequency following CCK-4 injection was 88% for patients receiving placebo, 33% for those receiving the 10-mg dose, and 0% for those receiving the 50-mg dose. The difference between the effects of the 50-mg dose and placebo was statistically significant (P = .002). Increases in heart rate following CCK-4 injection were markedly reduced with both the 50-mg (P < .0001) and 10-mg (P < .01) doses compared with placebo. These data suggest that CCKB receptors are an important site of action of exogenous CCK-4. It will be important to determine in future studies the efficacy of CCKB receptor antagonists as antipanic agents.Archives of General Psychiatry 06/1994; 51(6):486-93. · 14.48 Impact Factor
Article: Effects of flumazenil on cholecystokinin-tetrapeptide-induced panic symptoms in healthy volunteers[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The neuropeptide cholecystokinin-tetrapeptide (CCK-4) has potent anxiogenic action in human and animal subjects. On the basis of prior work which demonstrated that benzodiazepine (BZD) receptor agonists antagonized CCK-induced excitation of rat hippocampal neurons we studied whether BZD receptors mediated the anxiogenic effect of CCK-4. To examine this possibility we determined whether the BZD receptor antagonist flumazenil could antagonize the effects of CCK-4 (50 g) in healthy volunteers. Thirty subjects (10 females; 20 males) were pretreated with flumazenil (2 mg in saline) or placebo (0.9% NaCl in water) 15 min prior to CCK-4 challenge in a randomized double-blind crossover design. Flumazenil had no impact on the behavioral and cardiovascular effects of CCK-4, suggesting that BZD receptors do not mediate the anxiogenic action of CCK-4. The influence of GABA and non-GABA-related mechanisms on response to CCK-4 remains to be considered.Psychopharmacology 02/1994; 114(2):257-261. DOI:10.1007/BF02244846 · 3.88 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The effects of low oral doses of lorazepam on several cognitive and performance tasks were investigated in 50 healthy students. A double-blind, parallel group design was used to compare five treatments: placebo and lorazepam 0.5, 0.75, 1 mg and progressive doses up to 1.5 mg. After randomization, all subjects received placebo for 3 days in a single-blind procedure followed by five consecutive days of treatment. Subjects completed a battery of tests each day of the 5 days active treatment and the day after stopping the treatment. There were no significant differences between placebo and lorazepam on the free recall test and the critical flicker fusion frequency test, but lorazepam produced significant improvement on the digit symbol substitution test and the choice reaction time test. We suggest that low repeated doses of lorazepam in healthy subjects improve the psychomotor performance without sedation and memory impairment.International Clinical Psychopharmacology 02/1994; 9(2):83-8.

ABSTRACT: Argues that it is necessary to look for changes induced by anxiolytics on vital signs, laboratory parameters, and adverse affects. The authors examine side effects at the CNS level with psychological and physiological battery tests. The most commonly used psychological assessments test image recognition, digit symbol substitution, choice reaction time (RT), critical flicker fusion, and cognitive functions. They also assess the safety of use of anxiolytics in certain specific conditions, such as overdose or withdrawal and in certain populations such as the elderly, neonates, and children. Elderly patients respond differently (than younger patients) to benzodiazepines (BZs). Alcohol can potentiate the action of BZs. The assessment of safety and side effects, whatever the drug type studied, must come early in the developing process of a drug.

Article: A dose-ranging study of the behavioral and cardiovascular effects of CCK-tetrapeptide in PD[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recent animal studies have shown that pretreatment with centrally active cholecystokinin (CCK) antagonists blocks the anxiogenic effects of CCK-tetrapeptide (CCK-4). In order to determine whether pretreatment with these antagonists can block the anxiogenic effects of CCK-4 in patients with panic disorder, a suitable challenge dose of CCK-4 must be selected. Thus, we conducted a dose range study in which patients with panic disorder (n = 29) were challenged with CCK-4 (10, 15, 20, or 25 micrograms) or placebo on two separate occasions, in a balanced incomplete block design. Patients received in random order 10 micrograms (n = 12), 15 micrograms (n = 11), 20 micrograms (n = 12), or 25 micrograms (n = 12) of CCK-4 or placebo (n = 11). CCK-4 induced anxiety and panic responses in a dose-dependent fashion. The incidence of panic attacks following the CCK-4 challenge was 17% (10 micrograms), 64% (15 micrograms), 75% (20 micrograms), and 75% (25 micrograms). None of the patients panicked with placebo. Moreover, a strong linear relationship between CCK-4 and increases in heart rate and diastolic blood pressure was found. The findings of this study suggest that a dose of 20 micrograms of CCK-4 (ED75) might be suitable for efficacy studies of CCKB antagonists and other potential antipanic drugs in patients with panic disorder.Biological Psychiatry 12/1992; 32(10):903-12.

John..... don't you come up in here starting no trouble now :fencing:
OMG, do not buy a booster, they are known to cause radiaton and lead to cancer. I wanted one so bad but I honestly dont want to shorten my already short life doing it. They say to keep it a good distance away from passengers, but in my opinion a car is just too small of a space no matter were you put it. Mind you I am not using Wi-Fi, but I bought a huge antenna for my truck and it gives me 100% signal. I had issues going into under ground garages and drive thrus so I took the antenna off and left the base and still get 85%. Driving at 8o mph is an issue for me also. Thankfully things like Sling player allow you to set a buffer time.
Dude! I see the confusion now! You bought that antenna for your Cell phone? At first glance reading the thread I thought it was for WiFi, as the thread was about WiFi antenna's! LOL
That would make more sense, as a cellphone tower range to a cellphone averages around 25 miles, so with a booster, I don't see why that could not double the range.

The War On Chocolate Milk
The debate over healthy school lunches has shifted to chocolate milk, which has long been presented as a clever way to trick kids into drinking something that's good for them. Now some districts are banning flavored milks over their sugar content, saying they're actually promoting childhood obesity. »

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

Splitting the differences — Frist style
Pierce G. lays out the details of the Frists' finalized divorce.
Among the highlights: Mrs. Frist has the option to keep the couple's Nashville home for five years, while the former Senator gets the vacation homes in Nantucket and Ft. Lauderdale. He'll keep the Belle Meade membership and she is certainly free to apply for a Ladies' membership (for which he'll recommend her). They'll split the investments. No alimony, but Bill will pay a $2.1 million lump sum.

ZocDoc Inc. announced Wednesday that former Senate Majority Leaders Tom Daschle and Dr. Bill Frist have joined its advisory board.
The board provides perspective and counsel to the executive team at New York City-based ZocDoc, a 2007-founded company that focuses on health care access and is undertaking aggressive growth and expansion.
"I've dedicated my life to affecting change in healthcare as a practicing surgeon and professor, a senator and policy maker, and through medical mission work here at home and globally," Doctor and Senator Bill Frist said.

Race to control Vic blazes before Friday's scorcher
Victorian authorities say more than 1,100 kilometres of fire front have to be covered before Friday to free up resources for a renewed bushfire threat.
Hundreds of Victorian firefighters have been working around the clock to finish patrolling the edges of six major bushfires by the end of tomorrow.
The fear is more towns will come under threat if Friday's predicted hot northerlies and temperatures into the high 30s materialise.
Ewan Waller from the Department of Sustainability and Environment says the push is on so that ground and aerial resources can be quickly redirected to any flare-ups.
"We'll be expecting new starts and we're expecting also that some of the fires that we are patrolling and working with at the moment will re-light," he said.
Fifty-five firefighters from New Zealand, along with 75 from New South Wales and 21 from Western Australia, are being brought in as reinforcements.
Firefighter injured
South Australia's Country Fire Service (CFS) says one of its volunteers deployed to Victoria has been injured near Alexandra, about 60 kilometres north-east of Melbourne.
The 39-year-old is believed to have been hit by a fallen tree limb at about 3:00pm while assisting in the containment of the Murrindindi fires.
He was treated at the scene and is being taken to the Alexandra Hospital.
The CFS says the man is likely to be transferred to Melbourne's Alfred Hospital by helicopter.
Victorian authorities say the man's injuries are serious.
The man's family has been informed.
Appeal fund
Meanwhile more financial support is being offered to Victoria's bushfire survivors.
Victorian Premier John Brumby has announced the Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund will issue cash grants of up to $5,000 for those whose tools of trade were destroyed in the blazes.
"That could range from being a self-employed roofer or tiler, through to a hairdresser," he said.
The Opposition supports the grants, but Liberal frontbencher Terry Mulder is urging the Government to clarify its position on helping to rebuild uninsured or under-insured homes that were destroyed.
"The Government has raised everybody's expectations that nobody would be left behind," he said.
"Now it's up to the Premier to explain what he meant."
Mr Brumby says the issue is being considered.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Cat lover
Review for Blue Mountain Humane Soceity, Walla Walla, WA, USA
What a great organization! I have lived in Walla Walla for many years, and am so proud to see the progress our local shelter has made over the years. They even started a Trap/Neuter/Return program for feral cats, working together with other animal welfare groups in town, so they could stop killing feral cats in the shelter. I just adopted my cat from them.
More Feedback
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
friendly and helpful.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
hire a shelter vet and open an low cost spay/neuter for the community!
Ways to make it better...
their hours were a little longer - open before noon maybe?
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Healthways in JV with Texas docs
Wellness services provider Healthways is teaming up with a large physician group in North Texas to launch a company that will market population health management services to other groups.
The joint venture between Genesis Physicians Group and Franklin-based Healthways is called GenHealth and will pair the management expertise of Genesis with the coaching, coordination and analytics offerings of Healthways. An accountable care organization affiliated with Genesis has signed on to use the population health management tools.
"Innovative healthcare providers such as GPG are assuming more financial and quality outcomes risk for their patient populations," said Healthways President and CEO Ben Leedle. "We firmly believe that by directly supporting the patient-physician relationship with well-being improvement solutions, we will create faster, more sustained engagement in order to proactively reduce the causes and effects of disease and achieve significantly greater impacts on medical savings, productivity and performance."
Based in Dallas, Genesis supports about 1,400 physician members in 70 medical specialties. About a third of its doctors are primary care physicians.
"This joint venture is a market-shifting opportunity to unlock the unique knowledge and expertise of physicians and empower them to help transform healthcare to a more economically sustainable model," said James Walton, president and CEO of Genesis Physicians Group and GenHealth. "We needed a partner with the critical assets, expertise and experience in delivering proven value. Further, we wanted that partner to show the necessary flexibility to help us build a comprehensive population management solution that would work in concert with our existing market offerings."
Shares of Healthways (Ticker: HWAY) fell slightly in Tuesday trading to $16.32. They have risen about 6 percent year to date.

15 Most Under-Appreciated Players In The NBA
15 Most Under-Appreciated NBA Players
The NBA is comprised of many types of players. There are superstars, all stars, bench warmers, up and comers, and then the under-appreciated. The under-appreciated are those players that don't get the recognition they deserve for various reasons. Their respective team could be under performing. They could be playing in the wrong system or be in the coach's doghouse. Also, their efforts could be overlooked because they are playing in the shadow of a superstar.
These 15 players shouldn't be overlooked. The league has started to take notice, now may be the time for you to take notice as well. There is a variety of skill sets, experience, and potential when talking about these few players. Of course, there are those circumstances which may have kept these players from receiving their fair of adoration. Being placed within a system that isn't right for your particular skills can over shadow your talent and true worth. A player like Tyreke Evans may be a shining example of just that. Playing for a franchise that doesn't have support from the fans can also be a cause for being overlooked like Rolando Blackman playing for all of those porous Dallas Maverick teams in the 90's.
Taking all of that in to account, this is a list of players who are definitely worthy of recognition. Let's take a look at some of those players that are under the radar but shouldn't be for long. This is a list of the 15 most under-appreciated players in the NBA.
Paul George
Paul George has come on big time this year. No longer in Danny Granger's shadow with Granger on injured reserve, George has become the go to guy on the Indiana Pacers. George is only in his 3rd season and has just started to unlock all of that potential. Besides the occasional Sportscenter highlight few people have really watched the Pacers play in order to get a full appreciation of what George can do on the basketball court. He happens to the be the Pacers' best perimeter defender as well as leading the team in minutes, points, while coming in 3rd in rebounding.
Al Horford
Al Horford has been playing out of position since he has been in the NBA. Under sized Atlanta Hawks teams meant Horford had to spend time playing center instead of his natural position of power forward. That still hasn't stopped Horford from improving every year even earning an All Star appearance in just his 3rd season in the league. With the Hawks under-going a rebuild under new GM Danny Ferry, don't expect Horford to be out of position for too much longer. Joe Johnson was traded away over the summer and it looks like Josh Smith will be next to gone leaving Horford as the unquestioned leader of the Hawks for the future.
O.J. Mayo
O.J. Mayo took some time to adjust to the college game as a much talked about recruit. It also took him some time once he jumped to the pros. Many thought Mayo would be the second coming of Lebron James but it seems he is just being himself. After leaving the Memphis Grizzlies this summer he found the free agent market not as bountiful as he would have hoped. Mayo inked a deal with the Dallas Mavericks and had the chance to finally have his own team as Dirk Nowitzki worked his way back from knee surgery. The result, Mayo is leading the NBA in 3 point shooting and has started to become a better passer. Look for Mayo to get the money he deserves once he becomes a free agent again.
Al Jefferson
Many fail to realize that Al Jefferson was the centerpiece to the trade that sent Kevin Garnett to the Boston Celtics. After feeling like Jefferson and Kevin Love didn't fit well together, a huge mistake, the Minnesota Timberwolves shipped Jefferson off to the Utah Jazz. In Utah, Jefferson has continued to improve and has made himself one of the rare big men with actual back to the basket talent. Averaging 17 points and 10 rebounds on a team ripe with big men is no easy task. Jefferson will probably be moving on to another team either this off season or by the trade deadline. If surrounded by the right pieces in the right system, Jefferson could be an All Star.
Greg Monroe
Greg Monroe came out of college as a polished big man but many didn't know if he was big enough to play center or athletic enough to play power forward. Monroe has silenced all doubters with his stellar play for the Detroit Pistons. He is a big that is capable of hitting mid range jumpers and able to put the ball on the floor against other bigs. Monroe possesses great court awareness and has no problem mixing it up in the paint to grab rebounds. Many don't get a chance to see Monroe being he is playing for a Piston team that is going through some lean times.
Greivis Vasquez
Greivis Vasquez was an afterthought when the Memphis Grizzlies traded him away to the New Orleans Hornets. The Grizzlies already had Mike Conley starting and a slew up guards to back him. Vasquez took his game down to New Orleans where he has had plenty of opportunity to show the Grizzlies what they are missing. With rookie Austin Rivers struggling to run the point, Vasquez has taken the job the reigns and don't look like he plans on giving it up any time soon. Vasquez has come out of seemingly nowhere to average 14 points, 9 assists, and almost 5 rebounds a game for the lowly Hornets. Now that Eric Gordon has finally returned to action, expect those assist numbers to go up.
Klay Thompson
Klay Thompson had to wait until the Golden State Warriors decided that a backcourt of Monte Ellis and Stephen Curry just wasn't going to work for them before he really got a chance to show his skills. Now starting full time, Thompson has averaged 15 points and 4 rebounds this year. Standing at 6 foot 7, he also has the tools to become a good defender. The Warriors are one of the youngest teams in the NBA but have started to show improvement under the guidance of Mark Jackson. A major reason for that improvement has been the development of Thompson.
Kenneth Faried
Kenneth Faried is the Denver Nuggets version of the "Junk Yard Dog." He is the ultimate hustle player, hustling his way into the starting lineup late last season. Faried allows George Karl to start offensive minded players knowing he will be there to set hard screens, dive for loose balls, and grab rebounds. Faried also fits into the Nuggets' style of playing which is fast paced getting up and down the floor. He can outrun most big men who are given the task of guarding him. The bonus, you don't have to run any offense plays for Faried. He is the type of player that sticks around because he doesn't mind doing all the little things it takes to win games.
Larry Sanders
It took a few years but Larry Sanders has finally started to play up to the potential the Milwaukee Bucks saw when they drafted him in the 1st round of the 2010 draft. Sanders has started to emerge as a force in the paint on the defense end. As a reserve, Sanders leads the NBA in blocks per game. It is also a plus that he can get up and down the floor with the quick back court duo of Monte Ellis and Brandon Jennings. Once Sanders learns how to curve his appetite to foul the opponent he may go from under-appreciated to over achiever.
Tony Allen
Tony Allen should probably be higher on the list. Allen does all of the dirty work on the perimeter for the Memphis Grizzlies. He guards the best wing player on the opposite team every night. He is the best on ball defender on the team. He rebounds and even gives you a few points here and there. Playing defense isn't sexy but Allen is willing to play it night after night without complaining. Allen made himself irreplaceable after taking O.J. Mayo's spot in the starting rotation last year. Every team needs that one loose cannon to balance everything out and Allen is that.
J.J. Hickson
J.J. Hickson was once deemed untouchable by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Unfortunately, his talent never materialized in Cleveland and he was shipped out to the Sacramento KingsYour text to link... before finally landing with the Portland Trailblazers. Safe to say Hickson has found his way, finally. Hickson has proven to be the perfect complement to LaMarcus Aldridge this season. He is averaging a solid 12 points and 11 rebounds this year. Hickson has finally started to concentrate on the things he is good at while working more diligently in the off season to improve his game. The most important things for him were consistency. He has definitely played with more consistency and urgency this season, his impending free agency may have something to do with that.
Eric Bledsoe
Many wondered why Eric Bledsoe left college after his freshman season as it took some time for him to really figure out who he was as an NBA player. Now, Bledsoe has found a nice niche with the Los Angeles Clippers this season backing up Chris Paul. With Chauncey Billups unable to stay healthy, Bledsoe has made his name one of the hottest names among teams looking for a young point guard. Bledsoe is lightning quick, plays passing lanes well, can get to the basket with the best of them, and strong enough to finish. He still has a lot of upside too.
Evan Turner
Evan Turner had a shaky beginning to his professional career. In college Turner was the man. He was the team's main ball handler, scorer, defender, Mr. Everything. When he landed with the Philadelphia 76'ers they had their own Mr. Everything by the name of Andre Iguodala. After a few years of seasoning and the departure of Iguodala, Turner has finally turned the corner. He has become that glue guy for the Sixers filling up the stat sheet almost every night. As of now, the Sixers sit 9th in the Eastern Conference standings but with the possible return of Andrew Bynum on the way it should open up the floor a lot more.
Jose Calderon
Jose Calderon has been on the trading block for what seems like the last few years. Add that with the fact that he plays for the Toronto Raptors, most people are probably wondering exactly who Calderon is. Calderon won't wow with his speed. Calderon won't get the crowd up out of its seat with Pete Maravich style passing displays. What Calderon will do is effectively and efficiently run your basketball team. Calderon is a cerebral type of part guard. He thinks the game faster than it is being played and if he was on another team with a better set of players, the world would know exactly who Jose Calderon is.
Chandler Parsons
Chandler Parsons may end up playing an important role on the Houston Rockets in the very near future. As James Harden is getting used to being the number one guy, Parsons will benefit from all of the double teams that Harden is sure to draw. Yes, Houston has Jeremy Lin to give the ball to. Lin doesn't have an outside stroke like that of Parsons, though. Parsons is a 6 foot 9 small forward who can not only shoot but also handle the ball and set up teammates. He also doesn't mind mixing it up a little in the paint averaging 6 rebounds a game.

August 21, 2012JBB IN DUB EP OUT SEPTEMBER 18
"It's been four years since groundbreaking reggae band John Brown's Body last put out a record, 2008's Amplify, which debuted at number one on Billboard's Reggae Chart. The wait for new music is over, as the octet will release an EP of mostly instrumental dub, JBB In Dub, on September 18th. Two days later the band kicks off their fall U.S. tour at One Pelham East in Newport, RI. The four-week tour will span the Northeast, the West Coast, and Colorado.
Once again working with their longtime label Easy Star Records, John Brown's Body has focused this latest release on dubs that reflect both their foundations in classic reggae drum and bass-style music and their usual progressive approaches to the genre. JBB In Dub features six dubs, plus "The Grass," featuring vocals from front man Elliot Martin. The songs were mixed in Boston by former JBB engineer and current 10 Ft. Ganja Plant member Craig "Dub Fader" Welsch (State Radio, The Aggrolites) at his studio.
The band has posted the song "Wellington" for free download on their Facebook page, so fans can get a taste of the new music.
Quote from drummer Tommy Benedetti:
"This will be the first time we have brought some of the heavy dub explorations of our live show into a studio setting. We put together a set of brand new songs, classic JBB dubs that have never been recorded, and a new version of our fan-favorite "The Grass." After seven full-length albums, this EP represents a unique sound for us, and we can't wait for people to dig into it!"
When it was released, Amplify was praised by All Music Guide as having "some of the most gorgeous melodies in all of modern reggae music." It was followed by a remix EP, Re-Amplify (2009), while the band continued their usual heavy touring schedule. In the past four years, JBB completed first-ever tours of New Zealand, the UK, and Europe. Based in Boston, Ithaca and Brooklyn, NY, the eight-piece band has already begun recording a new full-length studio album, slated for release in 2013.
For a full list of tour dates, visit JBB's website. " More info »
August 08, 2012R.I.P. SLUGGY RANKS
"We are very sad to hear of the passing of another member of the Easy Star family, Andrew Gregory, known to most as Sluggy Ranks. He was killed in an auto accident in Kingston, JA on July 29th. Sluggy appeared on our very first album, Easy Star Volume One, with the stand out cut, "Ethiopia," and he was known to many more of our fans from his vital contribution to Dub Side of the Moon - lead vocals on the first song on the album, "Breathe." We send our condolences to his family, friends and fans worldwide. We will miss him. " More info »
July 10, 2012BILLIE JEAN EP AVAILABLE NOW
"As the anticipation builds for the upcoming release on August 28, 2012, of Easy Star's Thrillah, Easy Star Records is excited to release the digital-only Billie Jean EP via iTunes including two tracks off the album: "Billie Jean" featuring Luciano and "Human Nature" featuring Cas Haley. The EP also features two non-album "Billie Jean" remixes from Mister Vibes and Sounduo and an exclusive dub version of "Billie Jean," mixed by producer Michael Goldwasser, along with Joe Tomino (Dub Trio/Matisyahu).
Luciano's stunning vocal performance on "Billie Jean" is his third collaboration with Easy Star, having also sung "With A Little Help From My Friends" on Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band and co-written the early original single "Hopes On High" with Michael G for Easy Star Vol. 2: Dancehall Culture. Guest vocalist Cas Haley also has a rich history with the Easy Star All-Stars, from multiple tours together to appearing on their 2011 album First Light. The two join up again for three upcoming tour dates (8/10 @ The Festival of Gnarnia, 9/7 @ High Noon Saloon, 9/8 @ Shangri-La Festival).
On the two remixes, Israeli dub artist Mister Vibes strips down his version with twisting melodica lines and spaced-out effects, while dubstep, glitch, and electronic fans will gravitate toward the Sounduo remix. Sounduo is the post-dub, audio/visual live performance project of Miami's William Mills and Zach Morillo.
Go to the Easy Star All-Stars website to help us spread the word about the EP. If 1500 fans share info about the release via Facebook, it will free up the non-album track "Human Nature Dub" for download!

June 12, 2012EASY STAR'S THRILLAH COMING AUGUST 28
"Let the record be revealed! Easy Star's Thrillah can be pre-ordered now! You can also listen to the first single "Billie Jean" for the next week until June 19 (and download it for free). Check the Fall Tour dates in US and UK. More dates will be announced soon. Check out the teaser video for the record here.
Following up on the hugely successful reggae tribute albums of Dub Side of the Moon (2003), Radiodread (2006) and Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band (2009) comes the reggae adaptation of the greatest selling record of all time – Michael Jackson's Thriller. The album, titled Easy Star's Thrillah will be released August 28, 2012 (a day before the 53rd anniversary of Jackson's birth). Easy Star's Thrillah brings back several of the reggae stars from previous albums, such as vocalists Michael Rose (Black Uhuru), Steel Pulse, Luciano, Mojo Morgan (Morgan Heritage), alongside the diverse playing of guests Yossi Fine (David Bowie, Lou Reed, Stanley Jordan), Joe Tomino (Dub Trio/Matisyahu), Andy Farag (Umphrey's McGee), and horn tracks courtesy of Israel's highly-acclaimed funk/hip-hop band Hadag Nachash. The album will be preceded by the July 10th digital release of the Billie Jean EP, which includes two album tracks, along with non-album remixes and a dub version.
In selecting Thriller, Easy Star Records co-founder Lem Oppenheimer says, "We've always tackled the greats - The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Radiohead - but while we wanted to take on another huge album, we also wanted to blaze new trails. In Thriller we found those new trails in a number of firsts for the series: the first album by an American artist, the first non-concept album, the first R&B/soul record, as well as the first release from the 80s."
"For me, I was most excited for Thriller," says producer/arranger/guitarist Michael Goldwasser. "I was always more of an R&B/soul and reggae kid growing up and I have an intense personal connection to Michael Jackson's music." As usual, the process initially involved Goldwasser spending a few months on arranging the songs. "Writing the arrangements for this album was a cool challenge. I didn't have to try to make non-dance music into dance music as on our previous albums because the original Thriller is so danceable already, but I needed to find ways to make each song groove in a different way from the original version. I didn't want any of the arrangements to be obvious in that regard." In the end, Goldwasser's arrangements are some of the most interesting in his career.
Now that the hard work in the studio is done, the band is looking forward to bringing this music on the road, adding some dance/pop songs to their already varied sets. The band's live show, which was nominated for a UK Festy Award in 2009, already features tracks from the band's previous three tribute albums, along with original material. An extensive fall tour of the US and UK is already set up (US dates listed below), with more to come over the next year. As the original Thriller album comes up on its 30-year anniversary in November, what better way to celebrate this timeless album than to catch the Easy Star All-Stars perform their reggae-infused versions of this pop masterpiece.

ROCKFORD — Mayor Larry Morrissey took a different approach with Thursday night's State of the City address, delivering what could best be described as a speech of empowerment and inspiration.
ROCKFORD — Mayor Larry Morrissey took a different approach with Thursday night's State of the City address, delivering what could best be described as a speech of empowerment and inspiration.
Oddly enough, many of the topics of previous years were touched upon, and in most cases the challenges remained very much the same — state and federal governments are broke, the state's pension and collective bargaining laws are stripping cities of their wealth and ability to manage effectively, violent crime continues to plague the community.
What was different was the tone.
Going along with the theme of his speech, which was in essence a celebration of Rockford's rich heritage and fighting spirit, Morrissey gave audience members quick updates on the city's finances, public safety, health care, the city's road program, public housing and schools interwoven among stories of hope, progress and prosperity of the Rockford region.
"I can feel and hear a heartbeat of positive change for our city," Morrissey said. "It's not coming from Washington or Springfield. It's not coming from Forbes or Money magazines. ... Our momentum comes from determined souls within our community that wake up every morning ready to make a positive difference for themselves, their families and our city.
"Without prodding, without asking for permission, I hear the voice of our future, our young people, ready to move, ready to act, ready to tell our story."
Some of the video stories shared with State of the City attendees were those of Jimmy Goodman, who mentors dozens of young people in the sport of boxing; southwest Rockford businessman Tony Bove and Ald. Venita Hervey talking about the wave of transformation arriving with the Morgan Street bridge project; James Henry Breasted, a world-famous archaeologist, historian and Rockford native who changed what we know about the world; Rockford Sharefest, an annual communitywide act of charity to benefit Rockford public schools; the Chiarelli family of tailor and music fame; former RHA residents Diane Young and Eddie Torrence; and Film or Die's "I Am Rockford," a tribute to Rockford's fighting spirit.
"I'm really inspired by the young people who put these together, who made these films," Morrissey said. "They worked throughout our community and found examples. Not because I asked them, because on their own initiative they believe in the future. They were so sick and tired of hearing complaints, so they got busy."
Staying true to the uplifting nature of his annual address, Morrissey urged Rockford residents to not dwell on the disappointment that Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University did not open a residential campus in Rockford last year but to focus on what the community learned about itself through the effort.
"What we learned from the Embry-Riddle recruiting process is that we have a tremendous commitment from local employers to support higher education in Rockford," he said.
Page 2 of 2 - Morrissey challenged the city's leaders to a different kind of higher education initiative in another field where Rockford has tremendous assets and talent — the arts.
Morrissey invited arts educators, professionals and advocates to start exploring the idea of a downtown academy for the performing arts, visual arts and digital arts this year.
Robert King, a community activist, bank vice president and chairman of the board of directors of the Booker Washington Community Center, said the idea has his support.
"The arts are something that allow young people to express themselves," King said. "My wife is an 18-year educator. When young people aren't allowed to express themselves, it becomes behavioral.
"I think something like this would be very advantageous for young people, something that can make them feel they are a part of something. ... I love it."
