Throughout their month-long struggles, the Sharks talked about the importance of getting Marty Havlat back in the lineup. Saturday night he showed why.
Havlat -- in only his second game back after missing 39 contests following hamstring tendon surgery -- scored his second goal of the night with 1:37 left in overtime to give San Jose a hard-fought 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings at HP Pavilion.
"He's a very dynamic, top-end forward," captain Joe Thornton said. "I didn't think he'd make this much of an impact in two games, but he just looks fabulous out there."
The two points moved San Jose to within one point of the Pacific Division lead with 82 points and into a tie with the Los Angeles Kings for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, with the Sharks holding a game in hand.
Havlat scored after Red Wings netminder Jimmy Howard made an initial save, but then got caught up in traffic as Justin Braun crashed the net.
"I just had to beat the 'D'," Havlat said.
The Sharks took a 2-0 lead on a goal by Joe Pavelski just 48 seconds into the game and Havlat's first of the night at 18:23 of the opening period. Detroit drew even on a goal by Pavel Datsyuk just 30 seconds after Havlat's first and one by Valtteri Filppula midway through the third period.
Both coaches were claiming to be the more desperate team going into this one.
Though Detroit had been going through its own rough patch entering the game with just one victory in its previous five games, the Red Wings were welcoming superstar Pavel Datsyuk back after he missed 11 games following arthroscopic knee surgery.
The Sharks, meanwhile, had picked up five points over the three games before this one once they ended a five-game losing streak of their own, but they were still short of that eighth playoff spot.
For the third time in their last four games, San Jose was on the board in the first minute of play when Detroit defenseman Niklas Kronwall blocked Pavelski's first shot of the game, but the Sharks forward stayed with the play and beat Howard.
San Jose made it 2-0 when Havlat used Red Wings blue-liner Brad Stuart as a screen and fired a 37-foot wrist shot that glanced off Howard's shoulder and into the back of the net.
"Yeah, I just shot through his legs, and (Howard) didn't see much," said Havlat, who credited Ryane Clowe and Patrick Marleau with forcing the neutral zone turnover.
Datsyuk cut the margin in half when Sharks goalie Antti Niemi left a small opening on the short-side high, and the Detroit sharpshooter put the puck there from a harsh angle.
Detroit's tying goal came at 8:12 of the final period when Marc-Edouard Vlasic was taken out of the play on a pick by Henrik Zetterberg that appeared to warrant an interference call. With Vlasic on the ice, Filppula had all the time and space he needed to get off a 22-foot wrist shot that beat Niemi on the short side.
"If you want to call it getting tied up, we'll leave it like that," Vlasic said when that phrase was used in a post-game question. "But we came back and got the win."
The overtime hero who delivered that win spent 20:07 on the ice -- about 90 seconds more than he did Thursday in his first game back. And while he was obviously happy with his performance, Havlat said he actually felt a little better after the first game.
"I was dying since the middle of the game tonight," Havlat said, citing tired legs. "It doesn't matter how I do, it's just that we win as a team."
Sharks coach Todd McLellan credited Havlat with being "a smart, smart player. He doesn't waste a lot of energy on the ice, he positions himself well.
"He's such an important part of our hockey club, and I don't think we even realize yet how much of an impact he can have."
Instead, he prefers to play closer to the Los Gatos home where his wife, who grew up in the area, and three children have continued to live while he played in Michigan.
The Sharks -- where he began his NHL career -- obviously would be his perfect landing spot at age 32, though Stuart won't say whether he would limit his options only to California teams.
"I'm not going to get specific on you, but it's just hard to be so far," Stuart said. "That's all I know at this point."
Playoff Push
The Sharks are tied for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference with 11 games to go.
8t. Sharks 36 25 10 82
8t. Los Angeles 35 25 12 82
10. Phoenix 35 26 11 81
11. Calgary 34 26 12 80
Note: Dallas leads the Pacific Division with 83 points. The division winner is guaranteed at least the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.

DIAMOND — If you've ever wondered whether or not Cross Country was a spectator sport, one only needed to take a glimpse near the track early Tuesday evening to witness hundreds of onlookers not only rooting for their runners, but actually trekking around the facilities cheering on those athletes at different points of the race.
Thomas Chabrecek from Crane crossed the finish line first, some 30 seconds ahead of the next runner, and Lamar's team captured first place honors and six of the top ten individual finishes at the Diamond Invitational on Tuesday.
The Wildcats, who finished the event in fourth place behind Lamar (27), Crane (72) , and Seneca (83), medaled four runners (top 20 runners in each division received medals) while posting their best team total of the season at 88 points. Appearing on the medal stand for the first time this season, seniors Trent Hayes (20th, 20:02) and Logan Myers (17th, 19:33) and freshman Nick Stephens (16th, 19:29) all helped guide the Wildcats to their second best finish of the season.
Sophomore Janzen White held on to the top spot with a season best 12th place with a time of 19:07 while senior Blake Shepherd completed the scoring, finishing 30th (20:46). Freshmen Logan Hopper, Dylan Myers, and Kyle Hayes finished the course in 37th, 45th, and 46th, respectively. Sophomore Alyssa Longman completed the newly designed course in a season best 16th place (27:10) and junior Cady Littlefield pierced the top 10 for her best finish as well at 8th overall (24:33). Diamond will again host a meet on Oct. 16.

At the Cemetery
Ever since the vampires had taken over Widbode, not many people dared to visit the cemetery. At least not after the sun had gone down. Not many people had liked to visit the cemetery before the vampires came either. Rumour had it that the place was haunted.
That was why Teyla decided to approach the graveyard with extra caution. She opened the heavy, iron gate and followed the lit path the lanterns made to a bench by the lake. Teyla was extremely relieved to see that Arabella was already sitting there next to her humungous flowery handbag.
�Do you believe in ghosts?� Teyla asked, moving the bag and sitting down next to her.
Arabella jumped and put a hand on her chest. �Goddess, you scared me. I didn�t hear you coming.�
Teyla smiled and patted Bella�s shoulder lightly.
�You can thank the vampirism for that.�
They both looked out over the black lake in silence. Teyla yawned, just for something to do. She had slept well during the day in Armin�s coffin so she wasn�t the slightest bit tired. But Bella didn�t know that. Teyla tingled at the memory of it and she had to smile a little.
�You look good.� Arabella said, not taking her eyes off the lake. �As good as a vampire can look anyway. You don�t look.... dead.�
�Um... thanks.�
Arabella took Teyla�s hand in her own and stared into her pale face. Teyla had to stop herself from wincing at the sudden warmness of Arabella�s hand. She had just started getting used to the coldness of being a dead.
�Teyla,� Arabella said seriously, �you don�t have to do all this for me.�
�I know.�
�I know you know, but I just don�t want you to be in all this danger because of me.�
�Who are you and what have you done with my nanny?� Teyla said suspiciously, but she didn�t let go of Bella�s hand.
Arabella smiled sadly.
�I�m serious, Teyla. If you want to, we can turn you back.�
Now Teyla let go of her hand and stared at Arabella with a look of mixed surprise and admiration.
�But the plan...�
�Oh, forget the plan.� Arabella snapped. �If you don�t want to be a vampire anymore, we�ll turn you back.�
Teyla just blinked at her.
After a few moments of silence (well, if you could call crickets screeching in the background silence...), Teyla took Arabella�s hand again, �I didn�t come back to rescue Waswauld, Bella, I came back to rescue Widbode. And if rescuing Widbode means being a vampire, then I�m damn right going to be a vampire!�
A small smile appeared on Arabella�s thin lips.
�That�s what I like about you, Teyla. You�re so headstrong!�
Teyla shrugged and waved a hand at Arabella bashfully. It wasn�t everyday you got a complement like that from Arabella Bibbles.
�Well, what can I say? I learned from the best.�
This made Bella�s smile stretch across her face even more, a dimple appearing in her left cheek. It was a while anyone had seen that dimple�
�You sure did.� She said. �Now for the real reason you�re here...�

Anyway, it is crap furniture and I get that but what I am pissed about is the way I have been treated. My wife sent a letter detailing that we were unhappy with the furniture from the room store. Our sales rep, Melissa, called me back and talked to my wife about the issues. From there it has been nothing but frustration!!! After Melissa said she would send a tech out to inspect I get a call TWO WEEKS LATER. Still the store, Pat, in the office wants to know what the problem is and after explaining it to her she said she would have the customer service department call me. Okay, what did Melissa do? Customer service calls 10 minutes later and at this point I was not upset and didn't really care what was done with the furniture - I told my wife it was up to her and I could live with it. Didn't like it but could 'deal' with it....... After my call with customer service I don't want anything to do with that store!!! Agent did not care at all - told me that normal wear and tear is not covered - AFTER TWO MONTHS?!! Also tells me to jump on the cushions to get them to soften up? It is normal for the cushions on the couch to pop up like you are on the end of a teeter totter and the couch is not made to lay on. What about sitting? Is that okay to do on the couch or does that void the warranty? Now I am pissed and want to know exactly why she called if she does not care. Her answer "I am only calling because the store told me to". Classic customer service there!! I also inquire to what IS covered under this warranty and she is not able to provide any detail. Blood boiling and all I keep hearing is that is not covered under warranty over and over again. I asked for a supervisor but was denied. What can you do for me customer service?? Do you have any solutions? Ah, yes, send a tech out if you really want. Sure, what the hell, I know what the answer is, that is not under warranty, but might as well play their game.
After the call I felt the local store should understand what I went through so I gave them a call. Pat took my call and said she would have Melissa call me in two days since she was off the next day. Wait a week and call Melissa to tell her what happened on the call. I can't get a call back and I should expect them to take care of the issue with the furniture? I told Melissa to just have the furniture picked up, it is crap and we don't want it. She can't make that call and will have the manager call me. Guess what....... no call back after three days. Call back again and ask for Melissa to find out why there was no call back but Pat says she is with a customer and will have her call me back. Nobody calls you back!!! THEY REALLY DO NOT CARE!!!
Inspection on Saturday 9/15 but we all know where that is going.................. "that is not covered by warranty" because NOTHING IS COVERED BY WARRANTY!! Tuesday 9/18/12 and as one would have guessed, it is not covered under warranty. I ask to speak to a supervisor about it and again, told no but they would send me to a voice mail. Called Melissa again, not that she can do anything but I have serious issues with how I was treated and the fact I never did receive a call back from the store manager as she indicated I would. Again, he is not there so I spoke with the Asst. Mgr. - he explained the only way something can be done is if it comes from the CEO.
Worth noting - wife went to Copenhagen Denmarket as we had a problem with some handles on a dresser. Walked in and talked to them about the issue. No hassle, walked out with a new handle. She sent me a text after that - "what a difference between Copenhagen and the Roomstore!" She said they did not even look up her purchase but found the handle she needed and that was it. No customer service to deal with, no manager to talk to and no waiting for a call back!
Here is what I have learned...... The Roomstore does NOT care or stand behind their products. As a result of this experience I will never purchase from the Roomstore again and I know I will be purchasing furniture in the near future. My family members will not be purchasing from Roomstore. In addition, I will let everyone I can know about how I was treated and share the stories of each store - Copenhagen vs Roomstore.
I was foolish to think someone would care.

Passcreator is an online app that provides a visual editor to create, sell and distribute Wallet passes which your customers can use directly on their smartphones.
The Apple Wallet app has been named Passbook before iOS 9.
Start your Wallet campaign!
Passcreator can be used for free including all features up to 30 active passes.
Wallet membership pass with personalized fields for the customers' name
A Wallet store card on an iPhone which shows the current balance of the customer
Event ticket for the beach party HerosBeach in Munich. Using the unique number in the QR-code the ticket can be validated at the entrance.
A Coupon shown in the PassWallet App on Android.
Our online app makes it as easy as it gets to create Wallet passes for your business - without knowing how to code!
Using our visual pass designer you can see what your Wallet pass will look like on your customers' smartphone (iPhones, Android- and Windows Phones) while designing it. All images and texts can be defined as you need them which allows you to adapt your corporate design easily. All data can be personalized to e.g. show the name of your customer on the passe. Available barcode formats are PDF417, QR-Code and Aztec.
Update the Wallet passes by sending Push Notifications to your customers' devices. This means you can change the content of the Wallet passes after the pass has been downloaded. Using this feature you can inform about a new marketing campaign without sending out another newsletter that is linking to your pass. Push data to your customers in a way that will be noticed.
You can save time and location based reminders in Wallet passes. This means that as soon as the given time or location is reached a notification is shown on the users' lockscreen.
Using this you can remind your users when they are near your store and also make sure that the pass is quickly available when they e.g. want to redeem a coupon or show the event ticket at the entrance of your event.
iBeacons are small Bluetooth low energy transmitter that work similar to a lighthouse. Means they are sending out an ID that is saved in the Wallet pass. As soon as the Smartphone is within the range of the iBeacon a Notification is shown. The range can be configured and is between 0.5 and 70 meters.
Using iBeacons you can welcome your users at your store or show the coupon when they are near a offer you want to advertise.
The difference to GPS-based reminders is mainly that you can configure a very specific area where the notification is shown and that a GPS-signal is not necessary which can be helpful in large buildings.
GPS-based reminders are shown in a range between 200 and 500 meters whereas iBeacon reminders can be shown 0.5 to 70 meters around the iBeacon.
iBeacons can be bought at our partner Sensorberg.
Wallet is an Apple technology but there are apps that can display and store Wallet passes for most major mobile platforms: Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone.
If you customers don't own a smartphone they can print the pass.

I can't even run a mile right now let alone 13.1 but I will attempt to and plan to train hard. My team is meeting once a week but I know we have to train on our own, but would prefer to run or train with others as mush as possible. If anyone wants a run or train buddy in my area, email me or reply to this. I also am looking for advice and tips on how to get myself ready, I am very nervous about this and I think the more people I have supporting me and pushing me the better chance I have at completing this!
I searched your city and added running to the search. It came up with a running store in Brea that has a running club.
This is the site: http://www.snailspace.org/
I suggest reading about them and giving it a shot. Best of luck to you on your way to 13.1 We are here for you for additional questions and advice along the way. ~Toby
Congrats on you starting to run! I used to live in West Covina.. now in Fontana. I did my first half marathon this past Feb and I followed a free training plan from this website. That really helped out, and so did my ipod!
You can also do the Couch to 5k training and add the extra miles for the half. Have you signed up for a half yet? My next (or third half) is 10/17 in Long Beach. Great weather and great place to run, if you are interested in signing up for it. We can talk til then, meet and figure out how to run together! I'll be 18weeks at that time, first kid.
Anyways, you can do it. Get some great music to run, Nickelback works for me!
Hello, good for you you can do it just put one foot infront of the other and stay dydrated. I wish you lived in L.A. I am also looking for a training partner they are hard to come by alot of people commit at first then they drop out! Well good luck. I am always Happy to hear a new runner is coming around!
Hey Krystal-
I'm in LA and hoping to do a half marathon next year (I never have), and need someone committed as well. I'm just getting into running myself-not completely a couch potato (finished a bout of crossfit training, taking boxing)..so my cardio is ok, but I need to make running a regular thing. let me know if your'e interested in training =)
ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.

Experiential Learning/Internships
All American Studies undergraduate majors will complete three credit hours for the "Experiential Learning" requirement. This can either be through a Service Learning Course or an approved Internship.
American Studies master's students are not required to pursue experiential learning, though they are welcome to if they so choose.
American Studies doctoral students are strongly encouraged to develop an experiential learning component to their studies, either by completing the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) certification process or by organizing and completing an internship for formal course credit. Doctoral students who plan to teach someday generally pursue CTE certification, while those envisioning future careers in public humanities frequently arrange an internship.
The experiential learning requirement can be fulfilled according to your interests and the discretion of the department.
If you choose an internship, the terms of your work are set forth in a contract, normally requiring ten hours per week on site, completion of all projects set forth by your supervisor, and the production of a final essay to include in your portfolio.
The Experiential Learning requirement challenges you to test and expand your knowledge gained in the classroom through dedicated work beyond the campus.
The goal is to build connections between what you learn in your American Studies courses and the practical and intellectual challenges that you will face in the world.
An internship will provide you with experience and skills in a collegial, engaging environment. With a service project, you will have the opportunity to connect in a sustained, meaningful way with the Jesuit mission of the university.
You should begin thinking about how and when you want to satisfy the Experiential Learning requirement as soon as you declare your major (for undergraduates) or as soon as you arrive (for graduates.)
For a spring-semester project, make an appointment with Prof. Ott no later than October 15; for a fall-semester project, March 30.
If you choose an internship, once you identify the organization with which you will work, you should obtain all forms required on their end. You will then enter into a contract with the institution and the department that clearly defines the purposes, goals, and outcomes of the project.

Suzanne's "Bohemian" Bedroom
Location:Salt Lake City, Utah
Colors Used
blue, brown, white, orange, beige, turquoise, green.
Color Inspiration
The many angles, and the fact that the ceiling slopes from 3 feet to 12 feet in the middle, makes the room a challenge to furnish and decorate. Hence the room has been slowly evolving over 8 years (and we're still not done). The first thing we did was paint it a calming green/blue with a chocolate brown accent wall. Next came the rug from Anthropologie which set the bohemian flower vibe. After many different duvet covers, we finally settled on this one from Pottery Barn. The colors and pattern were so vibrant, it was love at first sight. The orange from the duvet is picked up in the orange of the throw pillows. I'd been coveting the lamp shades for a long time, and when they went on sale at Anthro, I snapped them up. The curtains which hide my husbands closet, and the roman blinds, are a natural linen. Those as well as the jute rug under the bed help counterbalance the crazy patterns elsewhere.
Color Tips
Sometimes things need time to evolve. Tastes change and so do trends, but you'll eventually settle on a style that sticks and you'll find that everything you buy starts to fit in with everything else. Oh, but don't go totally crazy with color and pattern. You need to have a few neutral things as a counterbalance.

Wow. What a great sense of color and pattern! I think this is my fav. Love the curtain-- and what is the wall color?? Amazing.
My favorite so far! This is proof that a room can be colorful without those super-saturated colors. It's still calm and harmonious. The unexpected pattern pairings give it richness, and the layout is perfect.
I love this one! Beautiful colors and patterns. Even though the colors aren't bright, the room still feels "colorful".
This is the perfect spot to escape from day-to-day craziness. The color scheme is just right for rest, relaxation and to reset the soul-o-meter.
Perfect. I agree that color isn't just about how many different super-saturated colors you can cram into a space. It takes a great deal of skill to match patterns like this and not have it look like a mess. Kudos.
Thanks for all the kind comments. This is so exciting! The paint colors are by Behr, but I'll have to pop into the garage and see if I still have the old tins, I'll let you know.
Wow, thanks again for the positive comments. I just wanted to let you know that I've put a few more pictures up on my blog at backonfestiveroad.blogspot.com. Come and check it out and see what else I've been working on.
Another winner! The mix of patterns is really inspiring. This room is full of colors and pattern but feels so easy. Really love how you handled the sloped ceilings - I know that's not easy to tackle a room with this kind of tricky ceiling. But it feels so effortless and comfortable. And easy to actually live in. My favorite part is the amazing bedding. Gorgeous!
Wow, you are really moving up! I have to say that I am glad :-) but that may just be because your room is closer to my style then "New Orleans" Kitchen. I do not think your room should win overall, but I do enjoy it!
Would CrispyCream, sorry CrispyFry care to divulge who they believe is worthy of a win in their eyes? On the whole I agree with most of your comments across the competition. There's some pretty awful entries here with disproportionate votes, "Bohemian bedroom" is not one of them!
I just logged on to see who had won in each region and the voting is still open. I read that the voting would end at 7am. Are the rules able to change at will?
so pretty!!! i wish this was MY room! suzanne, you manage to combine patterns brilliantly (a true skill) and use one of my favorite color palettes. love it!
Not sure about the table lamp shades, but everything else works really well together. Unusual but soothing and beautiful.
This strikes a great balance between pattern & color. Well done! You deserve a win here because this is a space that meets all the criteria.
Thanks Anne, it's one of my favourite pieces. It's from Anthropologie, as well as the shade. The lamp originally retailed for over $500, but I managed to buy it for around $130 in the sale section because it has a crack in it (you can't really see it unless you're looking for it). I bought the lampshade a few months later for half price. I'm lucky to have a great Anthropologie store in town. I just checked their website and they don't seem to be carrying it anymore. They may still have it in the stores though.
This is my first time posting on this site and this room is the motivation I needed. What a beautiful room to come home to! I love the colors and the not-quite-matching patterns. Very well done. I'm inspired.
Freddiemac, I just noticed your post now. If you click on my name you can see all my posts which will give you a clear indication of who I think should win. And I agree that this room was appropriately awarded the top spot over some of the other rooms in this competition. It seems people are either voting very literally (like for rooms where every surface is painted a different color... even if it looks ridiculous) or just voting for the room they like best (regardless of how un-colorful it is.)
Though I personally do not think this room is the best representation for the criteria of this competition, I still like it a lot :-) And I am glad to see Suzanne got the 15 gallons of paint!

"A non-existent recording artist that believes he peers at the world through window panes while he gets 'ill on the microphone' or 'mike-ill'. Often mispronounced as 'Mickle Pane', 'Mickill Pane' or 'Mickell Pane'."
Now that you've learnt how to pronounce…MIKE-ill's (just making sure…) name, you're ready to learn about the myth itself. You see, there is no proof of Mikill's existence, save for a number of recordings that he allegedly made via the voice of his engineer Justin Smith Uzomba. These recordings started to surface in 2007. Since then, a chosen few can claim to have heard these mysterious yet poetic ramblings. Mikill, or Mister Pane as he's commonly referred to, is still best known for his verses on 'Little Lady', a track which featured on Ed Sheeran's No.5 Collaborations EP. The unprecedented success of this track led to a very lengthy stay in the iTunes UK singer songwriter chart,with a peak position of number 1.
2011 has seen Mikill tour extensively with collaborator and friend Ed Sheeran. It doesn't end with Ed though, as Pane's services have also been sought, in the form of tour support, by none other than rising star MacMiller, a U.S. rapper from the same stable as Wiz Khalifa. Add four EPs, one with twice Mercury-nominated drummer/producer Seb Rochford, to the burgeoning list of Mikill's accomplishments and you have to hand it to him – or you would if he existed – he's doing alright for a rapper that hates rap.
Mikill Pane's debut album Blame Miss Barclay is set for a 2012 release.

Motonation, the importer and distributor of Sidi, Spidi and Set Up product, achieved double-digit sales growth in 2006. The company celebrates its eighth anniversary in 2007.
Motonation president Bill Berroth has been in the powersports industry for the past 30 years. He started his career as a wrench in a few shops in Connecticut, then worked with KTM in both Ohio and California for four years before spending two years as product manager with Husqvarna. Following a 14-year association with Acerbis in the United States, he formed Motonation in 1999.
Dealernews recently talked with Berroth to learn what happened at the company during the past year and what he has planned for the next 12 months.
Dealernews: How was Motonation formed?
Bill Berroth: Motonation was formed when I saw an opportunity to work with Sidi as they were seeking new distribution. I was simply able to show them a program, and form a company, that would give them the focus both they and I felt they deserved in the marketplace. Since then, together with Sidi, Motonation has created the Set Up boot line and have added Spidi apparel to our exclusive sales style.
What took place at Motonation during the past 365 days?
Last year was Motonation's second year with the Spidi line in the U.S., and it was a good one. We built upon the base we laid down in 2005 and had a strong year. With the Set Up brand we introduced a new race boot, the Vision, which has sold very well. On the Sidi side of things, the new Crossfire boot has impacted the off-road market in a very strong way, it's the best-selling Sidi off-road boot in the company's history. All in all we had a great year with double-digit sales growth.
What were the issues that concerned you from a business perspective in 2006?
Our greatest concern, as we import all our products from Europe, is the exchange rate between the dollar and the euro. The dollar continues to be very, very weak and, as a result, our margins have suffered greatly.
However, we've adapted to the situation — more than overcame it — by reevaluating and adjusting everything we do.
Looking back, update us on how business has been with each of the brands that Motonation represents.
Sidi continues to grow exponentially each year now the brand has established itself as a premier boot brand in the U.S.; Set Up is growing strong with the Vision boot; and Spidi continues to grow under Motonation's supervision.
Looking forward, what is the strategy for each of the brands in 2007?
Without tipping our hat too much, I can say that we are very excited about the new product offerings with Sidi, Set Up and Spidi, as well as our new 2007 advertising campaigns. We'll be ready to share all of the details with the dealers who visit us at Indy.
Is anything planned for 2007 that may impact Motonation's relationships with dealers or suppliers?
Motonation's partner dealer programs have always been sound and substantial. So, no, there will be no big changes. All our partner dealers have an exclusive sales territory, advertising support and the highest possible margins. Really, when a dealer looks at what Motonation offers, we have a unique and very attractive series of programs.
What should dealers look for at Motonation's display in Indy?
Sidi will offer two new off-road boots for 2007 as well as a complete Gore Tex waterproof touring range; Set Up will have a $130 waterproof touring boot to complement the $130 Vision road race boot; and the Spidi line will have some new items specifically tailored to the U.S. market.
How many dealers does Motonation currently service? Is that up or down from the past?
Motonation actually serves a limited amount of dealers. We are not interested in quantity; we want quality — the finest dealers in the U.S. to be our Sidi, Set Up and Spidi "partner" dealers. So our growth is usually from expanding our present dealers' sales, not by adding new dealers.
How does a dealer get a hold of Motonation product for retail purposes?
They can just give us a ring at (877) 789-4940 or e-mail our national sales manager, Paul Eddy, at email@example.com

Miami Dade College InterAmerican students win grant to assist undocumented peers
Aylwing Olivas, a 21-year old student at Miami Dade College's InterAmerican campus in Miami, noticed that undocumented immigrant high schoolers were dropping out at staggering rates.
So between biology classes and his duties as college student body president, Olivas organized a group of friends. After deciding that social media would be the best way to reach undocumented high school students, Olivas' group developed an online campaign to help Miami-Dade teenagers learn about their options for higher education and develop a plan. But, until this week, the group lacked one thing -- money.
On Monday, the InterAmerican campus group became one of five organizations to receive part of a $25,000 grant from Mobilize.org and the Knight Foundation. Thirteen student groups competed for the funds.
Across the nation, undocumented high school students attend college at very low rates. According to a 2008 report by the Immigration Policy Center, roughly 65,000 undocumented children who have lived in the United States for five years or longer graduate from high school each year. Only between 5 and 10 percent of these high school graduates go on to college, according the report. And those that do make it to college campuses often do not graduate. In 2010, only 51 percent of all Latino college students graduated after six years in school, according to the American Enterprise Institute.

The Problem With MTMs
That is entirely true... to an extent. The problem though is that everyone, and by everyone I mean those in power, realize what MTMs can do for the profession... yet choose to ignore the relevant problems of adopting it to our current business model.
We all know the benefits of a service such as MTMs. Physicians are even conceding to the benefits of MTMs, a fact which is more groundbreaking than most realize.
The problem is the consumer does not know the benefits of MTMs. Hell, they don't even know what MTMs are for the most part.
I covered this fact earlier last year and it is something I have been pushing APhA to look into for the last few months.
Essentially we are telling the various insurance providers that we can offer this service which will, ultimately, save them money but will do so in a novel approach. Herein lies the bigger problem... there's no demand for these services.
Really, there's not. Name one time a patient came up to you asking for something similar to what MTMs do? I bet you cannot name one specific instance can you?
That all comes back to the fact that the public is blissfully unaware of what a pharmacist can do. We have to create the demand if we want to take this next step. Some pharmacists, namely Eric, RPh, are already taking the brave first step into this new world.
If we're so intent on moving in this direction, we have to tackle the business aspects that we have so far been ignoring. Pharmacists, in general, have been the passive members of the health care community and in many ways this has become an ingrained trait. It is time to step out side of this self-induced funk and reassert ourselves.
And if not for ourselves, for the future of our profession.
Would it really be so difficult to devise a system for billing for time spent monitoring a patient? We already have ICD-9 codes and DURs to classify what it is we're doing, would it be so difficult to add one more field classifying some time scale? This wouldn't require a complete rewrite of how we do our every day business, merely a small adjustment.
Honestly, I think that is the biggest hurdle places like WAGs, CVS and the likes have with pushing for these services, successful implementation of billing. Sure there would be some trust involved, but it's there are ways to self, and externally, audit times.
And for the business minded folks, the sheer dollar amount that is available out there is astounding. It's almost as if we're sitting on top a giant field of oil, yet we're too scared to drill some test wells.
Ironically enough, the exact same could be said in terms of benefits for patients.
Really, what on Earth are we waiting for?
6 comments:
You raise some good points, I enjoyed the post.
My perspective comes from the Insurance/managed care side of pharmacy. Our company has evaluated the literature, done pilot studies and we currently perform MTM for patients. Currently we are focusing on uncontrolled/non-adherent diabetics patients. We are looking to expand across other chronic disease states.
Our MTM services are all phone based currently. That may change in the future if we decide to contract with individual pharmacies.
Personally I see the future of MTM operating in this fashion. We will keep our MTM services in house by our own nurses and pharmacists. More efficient for quality measure tracking, documentation review, and data analysis by our analytics team.
I also see a future for pharmacy MTM services based out of medical clinics in the future Accountable Care Organization (ACO). I have seen pharmacy services and the clinic level work extremely efficiently at the VA and Kaiser as well as some larger physician clinics. The pharmacist is available on-site and reviews medication profiles, meets with patients, and runs collaborative practice agreements to adjust drug class agents to the most appropriate per each patient's formulary.
In school I interned at a primary care clinic where physicians had the option to refer complicated patients for pharmacy consult visit. The referred patient would meet with pharmacist for full MTM/collaborative practice visit. This is the best and most-effective MTM I have ever seen practiced. Hands down more thorough than anything I have seen in the community. If we really want what is best for the patient than this is the model to push for first.
I honestly do not see a strong future for community pharmacy based MTM. The business model is not there and community pharmacists lack access to the patient's full medical record, making the MTM less valuable overall. The pharmacist at the clinic level or PBM level has greater access to information and has the time dedicated to retrieve the information. Part of their job is dedicated to offering these services and the clinic or PBM sees financial incentive in offering these services. The clinic may get higher Third party reimbursements under the ACO model if they offer MTM services on-site and the PBM will see decreased per patient expenditures. The management in retail just wants you to count and fill scripts as fast as physically possible, with no time for bathroom breaks let alone counseling or MTM! Where is the financial incentive for retail....? It just isn't there and I don't see it coming anytime soon. I hope I wrong but I strongly believe I am right.

The problem with the big chains becoming involved in MTMs is that they will devalue them just like they've devalued every other aspect of our profession. Can you imagine what Walmart would price an MTM consult just to undercut everyone and drive the market into the gutter like they do for every other business they jump into? As much as having the big chains involved more with MTMs and developing those services would be great I think in the end if we rely on a bunch of know nothing business majors to be the ones to advance our profession we will end up with more of the same old terrible results we already are seeing in the community setting. If the big chains are the only way for widespread MTM services to exist in the community setting than I would rather not have that option available to me than to see the likes of CVS or Walmart destroy yet another aspect of our great profession!
- February 26, 2011 at 10:37 PM
The problem with MTM is that we cannot provide the service as the program is currently structured to all patients. When a patient sees a doctor, he does his evaluation and bills for ALL services to ALL patients. We are basically told what SELECT services to provide to SELECT pts the insurance company deems worthy. An example; we had a pt a few months ago woth med d and medicaid on avapro. They were compliant and had no copay, but the MTM came down asking us to switch to a generic. Who did this benefit other than the insurance? It should be worked out that whenever we make a therpeutic interchange, provide counseling, vaccinate, or whatever, we can document and submit for payment but we are not at that point yet. Time will tell I guess.
- February 28, 2011 at 7:24 PM
I work for a retail chain & all pharmacists in my corporation are expected to do MTM, with the exception of floaters. We are contracted with insurers to provide this service.
To effectively provide MTM, you need continuity either with the patient (which I have) or with the prescriber. I have 2 very large prescriber bases, one which is an academic institution. Although it would be helpful to access the medical record - that is not always the complete answer.
I've had many situations in which the patient's PCP will be at one of these large clinics, but the specialist will be free-standing or vice-versa. I am often the one who will pull it together, particularly when there is an interaction, non-formulary, or frequency of use problems.
I disagree with the first responder with regard to the VA & Kaiser. I've experienced both as a pharmacist & the record is often filled with irrelevant or just wrong information - primarly due to the inability of the patient to see the same physician over & over, seeing only a PA or NP or resident or just being rushed thru their appointments.
I honestly feel MTM is a huge, huge waste of time & money. Its a sad response to pressures of money & lack of time at the physician appointment level. Additionally, the reporting systems need to be streamlined and standardized if they are to every be implemented in a widespread fashion. They are cumberson and seem to be written by a PGY2 who has had to do a project.
Really - when you get an insurance rejection, the patient gets dismayed by a copay or the dosing is questionable - you are doing MTM. We've all been doing this for decades! This IS part of what we do & have been doing - not its just checking off boxes for a silly $10 fee.
My corporation doesn't really care that much. The patient has already be counseled by the pharmacist & had all his/her questions answered.
Why should the insurers be driving this? What of the uninsured or cash patients? Wouldn't you provide that very same service? Its called pharmacist counseling!
- February 28, 2011 at 11:43 PM
I do agree that it is something we have and should be doing anyway, but dont we always complain that we give our knowledge away for free? we get paid exactly the same amount for a easy prescription as we do for a really complicated one. Can you name one thing that the doctors do for free, or anyone else. Think about getting your car service, you pay for labour, so if they spend more time on an issue they get more money.
I think the big risk is the large multiples turning this into a dirty money grabbing scheme by forcing their pharmacists to do MTM on every single patient regardless of benefit. (SEE UK EXPERIENCE OF MEDICINE USE REVIEWS). You just feel dirty when you go in to review the use of a single item that a patient has been using for years, just because your big company want that money.

Not quite like the pictures...
June 24, 2013
When we pulled up to the home it was not quite as nice as the pictures led us to expect. The outside of the home was dingy and in bad condition. It was the worst looking house on the block. However; we were very pleased to see that the inside was equivalent to the pictures online with the exception of the floor not being level. The ac worked well and the bed was incredibly comfortable... The problem with it all is that there were ants infested everywhere. I woke up one morning with bites all over my body and found the ants covering the bed. We found them in the living room, bathroom, and the kitchen. They were literally falling into my parents dinner as we ate at the table the first afternoon. In addition to ants, every morning there was an abundance of large but dead roaches on the floor. I believe I counted 7 the final morning we woke up. The kitchen had most everything we needed and the grill and pier was nice. Miss Kitty's rental management were very nice checking in but it's been 2 weeks now and I have not had a response from them regarding our stay. All this being said my family will not be staying at this home again.

Four Generations Fishing
March 26, 2013
What a wonderful trip, one we will never forget. My brother and I wanted to take our dad, 78 years old, fishing in Rock Port one more time before we turn around and it's too late. Dad use to take use there when we were kids. My brother wanted to bring his 17 year old son and I thought that's cool 3 generations, then it hit me I have a 6 year old grandson who has never been fishing if we take him that would be four generations. Wow, it was the best fishing trip we have ever had. Not because of all the fish we caught, we didn't catch much be because of all the memories we will have forever. This little canal cabin was perfect. when dad got tired he'd just walk back in the cabin and when Trevin, my grandson said "I'm thirsty" he just when inside for a drink and right back to fishing. As far as fish caught, well we caught 2 10-12 inch sheephead the first day and a couple of hardhead but it was early morning on our last day when we got a real thrill, I hooked what turned out to be a near State record size sheephead off that "little pier out back". It was 24 inches long and wt was just over 13 lbs. The state record is 26 inches and 15,5 lbs. It was great and Trevin just couldn't believe it. After lots of photos we let the big fella go back into the canal. As for the cabin, it was VERY WELL outfitted with everything we needed. From cooking supplies to comfortable beds, 3 different TVs, movie library, none of us could complain. Would I stay there again...Oh Hell Yeah!

This Place is sooooooo Calm
April 12, 2011
Dont know why there has been any negative reviews for this place. The canal is clean and gorgeous, not to mention full of life. You may not catch the huge red here but the ducks and herons will keep you entertained. The property management is top notch as is the house. This house has all of the space you could need, and the comfiest futons we have ever experienced. My parents came to visit on one weekend and they agreed that we had scored with this rental.The deck out back hosted us many a sunset, and the neighbors are great. If you have a bicycle bring it, the light traffic and fun neighborhood makes for an enjoying ride. Everyday we would comment about how we lived in paradise. With the open windows and cross breeze you may not even need the A/C. Simply put, we loved this house and Rockport so much we now live here.

Broken Bells and Au Revoir Simone - SOLD OUT
Price: $30 - $35
When: Ended 02/28/14
Where: First Avenue Mainroom
Broken Bells made a relatively ho-hum impression on their debut tour in 2010 and have dropped a similarly lackluster sophomore record, but that didn't stop fans from lining up to catch the band's two reputable collaborators in action. James Mercer of the Shins steps out from behind the mope and explores his psychedelic-pop and dance-rock leanings in the group with the help of Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton, the Gnarls Barkley co-founder and producer for the Black Keys, Norah Jones, Beck and now U2. They seem to be channeling the Bee Gees and Bowie more than the Beatles on their new one, "After the Disco." Brooklyn dance-pop darlings Au Revoir Simone open. Chris Riemenschneider

Capital Flows Don't Bode Well for the Euro
The slide in the euro against the U.S. dollar seen in late 2011 and the early part of this month has petered out in the past few days. It has been slowed by the fact that everybody in the known universe is massively short euros.
Jens Nordvig at Nomura, who has generally been bearish on the euro of late, argues this will likely turn out to be just a pause. His reasoning: Capital flows are negative for the euro.
Lost amid the insane amounts of ink (real and electronic) spilled on the daily ups and downs of the currency markets is that fact that currency markets, and exchange rates, are essentially a transmission mechanism for money flowing between economies and markets.
In Nordvig's view, the euro will continue to be under pressure as global investors shift money out of the euro zone and in favor U.S. markets.
Here's some of what Nordvig has to say, first on euro-zone flows and then for the U.S.:
The second half of 2011 was characterized by weakening capital flows into the eurozone. Global investors have been reducing exposure to eurozone sovereign bond and T-bill markets, as well as to eurozone equities. Although the month-to-month data are quite volatile, the broader trend is clear. Foreign investors are reducing their exposure in the eurozone on a broad basis
We believe weakness in the inflow picture has persisted in December and into January. High frequency data from Japan point in this direction, as does the general sentiment among foreign investors globally. In addition … there is evidence that reserve flows are weakening on a trend basis, which should reduce official sector demand for eurozone bonds.
Another important part of the flow picture has been repatriation flows by eurozone portfolio investors. This flow has been particularly visible in equity space, where it was intense in the early phase of equity market weakness, during August .
The new pattern in very recent high frequency data for 2012 indicates that repatriation has stopped. In fact, there is evidence that eurozone investors are again putting capital to work outside home markets.
There are three reasons why we think foreign demand for US assets is improving:
First, the latest high frequency flow data point to increasing outflows by eurozone investors in 2012. Interestingly, it appears that this new accumulation of foreign assets is concentrated in US assets, rather than EM assets. It is early days, but the US share of eurozone outflows has been very high this year (50%), compared with around 25% in previous periods of high outflows.
Second, after a period when the USD share of new reserve accumulation appeared very low (H1 2011), the latest data for H2 2011 suggest that the USD share is normalizing. This could be a function of changing behavior among reserve managers, linked to the tension in the eurozone, or it could be a compositional effect, driven by the greater importance of BoJ reserve accumulation in H2, which tends to be more USD centric than for other central banks on average. In any case, there could be some additional USD demand coming from central banks, especially relative to the very low level observed during the first half of 2011.
Third, US assets have performed well over the past six months on a relative basis, and this outperformance is consistent with macro developments. For example, while both eurozone and EM growth expectations have been revised down significantly over the past three to four months, they have been essentially stable in the US. Increasing capital inflows would be logical in this context.

This is a bit insane and especially for an nba star making millions. Would you let your star player do a stunt like this? Doubt it!
Chad Coller made an amazing catch over the fence in a charity softball game in Marquette, Michigan. I was surprised he bounced back up so quickly, but he got the out. Nice job Chad! Check it out.

I just watched this video and had to hear what other people think about it. The team in red pulled the "Wrong Ball Coach" trick play and absolutely no one saw it coming. The center snaps the ball to the quarterback, who holds the ball up in the air as he yells "wrong ball coach...it's the wrong ball" and walks towards the sideline. Then you hear someone yell "GO" from the sideline and the quarterback turns and sprints all the way in for a touchdown. I hadn't seen this done before and am not sure if it's even legal or not, but since the center snapped the ball I think it should be.
What do you think? Is the play legal? Have you ever seen a team run the "Wrong Ball Coach" trick play or anything like it before?

The rules state that if there is another ball on the field the game is stopped. Furthermore, it also states that if there are any other objects on the field that can interfere with play, the game is stopped. In my opinion, there is no way this play should have gone on with all the balloons scattered in the box. It isn't Michael Ball's fault, it's the refs fault. The refs should have taken control of the situation on the field.

Pinheiro, ACT, Descloitres, J, Privette, JL, Susskind, J, Iredell, L, Schmaltz, J (2007). Near-real time retrievals of land surface temperature within the MODIS Rapid Response System. REMOTE SENSING OF ENVIRONMENT, 106(3), 326-336.
AbstractThe MODIS Rapid Response (RR) System was developed to meet the near real time needs of the applications community. Generally, its products are available online within hours of the satellite overpass. We recently adapted the standard MODIS land surface temperature (LST) split-window algorithm for use in the RR System. To minimize latency, we eliminated the algorithm's dependency on upstream MODIS products. For example, although the standard MODIS LST requires prior retrieval of air temperature and water vapor from the MODIS scene, the RR LST employs a climatological database of atmospheric values based on a 25-year record of NOAA TOVS observations. The standard and RR algorithms also differ in upstream processing, surface emissivity determination, and use of a cloud mask (RR product does not contain one). Comparison of the MODIS RR and standard LST products suggests that biases are generally less than 0.1 K, and root-mean-square differences are less than I K despite the presence of some larger outliers. Initial validation with field data suggests the absolute uncertainty of the RR product is below I K. The MODIS RR land surface temperature algorithm is a stand-alone computer code. It has no dependencies on external products or toolkits, and is suitable for Direct Broadcast and other processing systems. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Young Republic Launch Party
I mentioned a while back that I was working on something new and exciting. I can now reveal that I was asked by Young Republic to create some artwork for their upcoming official launch. After working collaboratively with the YR team and thrashing out some ideas together the little bird & bunting was the winner.
Receiving the invitation yesterday in my inbox inviting me to the Young Republic official launch party was such a good feeling. It's in Sydney on the 12th of July. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go because it's in Sydney and I'm here in Adelaide with work to go to the next day. It's all good though. I know it'll be a fantastic night and I'm really looking forward to seeing photos of the event afterwards. I'm just really thrilled to have been asked to create something for this exciting new venture.

A novel approach to solving the stereo correspondence problem in computer vision is described. Structural descriptions of two two-dimensional views of a scene are extracted by one of possibly several available low-level processes, and a new theory of inexact matching for such structures is derived. An entropy-based figure of merit for attribute selection and ordering is defined. Experimental results applying these techniques to real image pairs are presented. Some manipulation experiments are briefly presented.

Citation: Karlen, D.L., Clark, J., Russell, J., Busby, D., Peterson, B., Singleton, P. 2005. Effects of grazing corn stalks on soil physical properties. In: Proceedings of the Heart of American Grazing Conference, January 19-20, 2005, Wilmington, OH. Technical Abstract: Stored feed costs represent one of the largest expenses associated with beef cow-calf production. Winter grazing of corn crop residue can substantially reduce these costs, but will that practice subsequently reduce soybean yield in a two-year corn-soybean rotation? An on-farm research study by scientists at the National Soil Tilth Laboratory, in cooperation with colleagues at Iowa State University and in New Zealand, was conducted to determine how grazing corn crop residues during the winter affected various soil physical properties and soybean yield during the following year. Grazing increased soil surface roughness and compaction, especially if it occurred when soil moisture was high and soil temperatures were above freezing. However, with or without preplant tillage, the overall effects of grazing on subsequent soybean stand establishment, growth, and yield were small compared to the added benefit of using the crop residue as an inexpensive feed source. For producers who want to graze corn crop residue without sacrificing soybean yield, we recommend that they should restrict grazing to periods when soil temperatures are below freezing and/or plan to till the surface soil prior to planting soybean.
