Recently Starbucks announced it would expand its offerings and start selling alcoholic drinks in the evening in thousands of its stores. The move was touted by chief executive Howard Schultz as a strategy for the company to grow profits by increasing the average sale per customer.
Schultz's shareholders no doubt exchanged a mental fist-bump. But the celebration may be short-lived once they realize that they are in danger of turning away a key coffee-consuming segment: more than 23 million Americans living in recovery from substance-use disorders.
Starbucks spokeswoman Lisa Passe called it "a natural progression for Starbucks as we seek to create a new occasion for customers to gather, relax and connect with each other in the evenings." What Passe did not mention was why a lot of customers already gather, relax and connect at Starbucks - helping to make it the largest coffee chain in the world.
Every day, people in recovery meet up in Starbucks cafes to support one another, to talk to their 12-step sponsors and, most of all, to be welcomed in one of the few lively, popular, alcohol-free gathering places in their community.
Starbucks should pay special attention to them.
One of the most useful concepts in business is the Pareto principle, or what is commonly known as the 80/20 rule. This widely adopted marketing principle - that 20 percent of input causes 80 percent of the result - suggests that 80 percent of all coffee consumed at Starbucks is derived from just 20 percent of their consumer base.
And who might be part of that base? The October 2008 issue of the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research found that 88.5 percent of those studied who were in recovery from alcoholism drank coffee. Thirty-three percent of those coffee drinkers drank more than four cups a day.
That means millions of recovering people drink coffee, and a third of them drink a lot of it.
If you closed your eyes and pictured a 12-step meeting room, you'd probably picture a coffee urn and plastic foam cups stacked next to it.
And you'd be right. After a typical meeting, you'd see groups of people leaving together to head for the local Starbucks.
In the short run, Schultz may be adding a new set of customers who bring in a $20-plus sale once a week.
But if the evening culture of the cafes turns into a hybrid bar scene, Starbucks will be at serious risk of forcing out a devoted set of high-volume existing customers. Many of them may already spend more than $20 a day on alcohol-free beverages.
If Starbucks executives studied this market demographic, perhaps they would think twice about this move.
They don't have to be driven by the spirit of supporting people's journey of recovery from addiction. They could do it just for their shareholders.
Greg Williams has been in recovery from alcohol and drug use for more than 12 years. He wrote and produced the documentary "The Anonymous People," about long-term recovery. He wrote this commentary for The Washington Post.

Excerpt from Deeds of Valor, Vol. 2 of 2: How America's Heroes Won the Medal of Honor- Personal Reminiscences and Records of Officers and Enlisted Men Who Were Awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for Most Conspicuous Acts of Bravery in Battle- Combined With an Abridged History of Our Country At the commencement of the great struggle now known to history as the War of the Rebellion, the United States Navy consisted of only twenty-six steamers, as follows: Six screw-frigates - The Niagara, Merrimac, Wabash, Minnesota, Roanoke and Colorado. Six first-class sloops (in later naval parlance termed corvettes) - The Richmond, Brooklyn, San Jacinto, Lancaster, Pensacola and Hartford. Five second-class screw-sloops - The Pawnee, Mohican, Wyoming, Iroquois and Dakota. Two third-class screw-sloops - The Narragansett and Seminole. Four first-class side-wheel sloops - The Powhattan, Susquehanna, Mississippi and Saranac- besides the three small side-wheel steamers Michigan, Water-Witch and Saginaw. The greater number of these vessels were either abroad, in foreign waters, or in southern ports, and therefore not immediately available for the grave emergency. The personnel of the navy numbered at that time 7,600 men, of all ranks. While the crews held on faithfully to the cause of the Union, not less than 259 naval officers of the line either resigned or were dismissed, amounting to forty-three per cent, of the corps. Under such conditions the task of the Navy Department seemed a desperate and hopeless one- sailors and especially their officers could not be readily recruited, for, under all conditions, they must necessarily have a thorough technical training. Outside of this there was the lack of ships to cover a sea-coast of 3,600 miles against a foe who had at the time the moral and material support of the two most efficient naval powers in the world, England and France.

I have a question about the ingredient "red fresno chiles, coarsely chopped" on the recipe "Fresh Sriracha (aka, home made 'Rooster')" from edamame2003.
From Our Friends
powered by ZergNet
The Cook's Thesauras has a good guide to Chiles and substitutions. It says this chile is similar to jalapeno but hotter, and is out in summer and fall. Can you get red jalapenos?
Thank you Nutcakes. Living in the chicagoland area you'd think there would be no problem finding what ever it is you need. Truth be told you still have to hunt for some items. Red jajapenos are scarce. Luckily Edamame2003 jogged my brain when she said they are also refered to as serrano...they are plentiful. Thank you both for your knowledgable and prompt response.
Hi there--I've seen them labeled as serrano. My go-to substitution are red jalapeños. They're a tiny bit hotter but good.

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Cook County; the Hon. LEONARD
R. GRAZIAN, Judge, presiding.
This case arises out of the shooting of Dolores Custodio by Terrence McCarthy, defendant, an off-duty Chicago police officer. Defendant conceded that he shot Custodio, but claimed the shooting was in self-defense. Defendant was charged by information with attempted murder, three counts of aggravated battery, and four counts of armed violence. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 38, pars. 8-4, 12-4, 33A-2.) After a bench trial, defendant was found guilty of one count of aggravated battery and sentenced to 30 months probation.
Defendant claims that he was not proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Because we feel the evidence did not prove defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, we will not address various alleged trial errors raised by the defendant.
Dolores Custodio was smelt fishing in Lake Michigan at Montrose Harbor in the city of Chicago with seven other people. They left the harbor at 4:30 a.m. on April 29, 1979, having arrived the previous evening. Some persons in the group drank beer while fishing. The party left the harbor in the car of Dennis Edman, Custodio's cousin. Dennis was driving, Elias (Junior) Acevedo was next to him, and Kenneth Edman and Keith Edman were also in the front seat. In the back seat, from the driver's side to the passenger side, were Caesar Ortega, Dolores Custodio, and David James. Lying across the back seat and protruding from the rear passenger window was a flagpole that the group had taken from Waveland golf course.
The Edman car was southbound on Western Avenue, near Belmont, when there was contact between the flagpole and a car driven by defendant. Custodio claimed that, upon contact, the flagpole hit her in the face, causing substantial bleeding. Dennis Edman testified that he caught defendant's car at the next stoplight, told him that defendant had hurt one of his passengers, that they were going to the hospital, and that he had defendant's license number (BUM 1).
The occupants of the Edman car related the rest of the incident in a similar manner. While driving on Western Avenue, defendant's car started bumping Edman's. At one point, David James threw a full beer can at defendant's car. A green car, apparently acting in concert with defendant's car, cut off the Edman car. The Edman car then went in reverse with defendant's car in pursuit. The cars stopped. Defendant got out of his car and came toward the Edman car with a gun in his hand. He started hitting the driver's window with the gun. Junior got out of the Edman car and ran to the nearby city of Chicago police station at Belmont and Western. Custodio told the defendant to leave them alone. Then defendant stepped back and shot her in the face. Defendant got into his car and drove away, while the Edman car remained parked. Most members of the Edman party stated that the police arrived within two to three minutes after the shot was fired; Custodio stated it was 15 minutes to a half hour.
Defendant claimed that, after the contact with the flagpole, the Edman car bumped his car. A green car voluntarily entered the chase after the Edman car. When defendant approached the Edman car on foot, he rapped on the window with his badge, stated his office, and ordered the occupants out of the car. Dolores Custodio said, "I'm going to kill you, you pig." Defendant saw her pointing a gun at him, so he stepped back and fired one shot. The Edman car *fn1 drove away, and defendant pursued it. He lost it, and attempted to find it for a half hour. Defendant then went to the 23d District police station at Addison and Halsted, and first went to the men's room. There, he was confronted by the captain, who informed defendant he was being sought and to whom defendant turned in his gun. Defendant's story was substantially corroborated by Tomalina Dedina, who was also in his car.
An investigating police officer testified on behalf of defendant that the Edman car and the area involved were searched but no flagpole was discovered.
A toy gun was found by the police in the glove compartment of the Edman car. Keith Edman, who was 12 years old, was playing with it throughout the evening, although Dolores Custodio denied any knowledge of its existence. Junior Acevedo told an investigating police officer that he thought the toy gun was on the floor of the auto during the incident, while Dennis James told the officer that he thought the gun was on the dashboard during the incident.
John Truppa, an elderly resident of the Belmont and Western area, stated that he heard a shot one night in April or May of 1979. He looked out the window a few minutes later and didn't see any cars. Defense counsel attempted to establish the date by the fact that Truppa read about the incident in the newspaper the next day. The trial court sustained the State's objection to this testimony.
The trial court found defendant guilty of aggravated battery and not guilty of attempted murder and armed violence. Defendant was sentenced to 30 months' probation.
Defendant claims he was not proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The trial produced two completely conflicting versions of the shooting of Dolores Custodio. The trial court believed the version of the occupants of the Edman car. In asking this court to reverse his conviction based on reasonable doubt, defendant is asking this court to review and evaluate the credibility of the witnesses. Defendant faces a strong presumption that the finding of the trier of fact with regard to the credibility of witnesses is correct.
A reviewing court may only disturb the trial court's finding as to credibility when the evidence is so improbable or unsatisfactory as to raise a reasonable doubt of guilt. (See, e.g., People v. Gunderson (1978), 66 Ill. App.3d 516, 524, 383 N.E.2d 1296.) Where the evidence is merely conflicting, the reviewing court will not substitute its judgment for that of the trier of fact. (People v. Gunderson (1978), 66 Ill. App.3d 516, 524.) This rule is not inflexible. When the record does not support the factual determinations, a court of review must reverse. People v. Ivy (1979), 68 Ill. App.3d 402, 406, 386 N.E.2d 323; People v. Seymour (1977), 53 Ill. App.3d 367, 372, 368 N.E.2d 1018 (probation revocation).
All the occurrence witnesses for the State were passengers in the car with Dolores Custodio. With the exception of David James and Elias Acevedo, they were relatives of and lived in the same apartment building as Custodio. Further, James and Acevedo were, respectively, 15 and 17 years old at the time of the occurrence and friends of the Edman family. Most of the occurrence witnesses conceded that they had all talked about the case together, and they all came to court together every day during the trial. At the time of the trial, Dolores Custodio had pending against defendant a personal injury claim, and some of the witnesses had spoken with her attorney about the case. Finally, many of the witnesses significantly changed their testimony at trial from earlier versions. The combination of these factors requires this court to carefully scrutinize the evidence.
Defendant claims that as he approached the car, Custodio verbally threatened him. He saw a gun and then fired at her. The occupants of the car deny the use of a gun by anyone in their car, yet a realistic-looking toy gun was found in their glove compartment. Everyone in the Edman car had a different story regarding the gun. Most conceded that the gun belonged to 12-year-old Keith Edman, who had been playing with it at the lake. Dolores Custodio was the only one who denied any knowledge of the existence of the gun, although David James and Elias Acevedo testified that she was present while Keith was playing with the gun. David James initially told police that the gun was on the dashboard of the car during the drive, but disavowed this position at trial, claiming he did not see the gun in the car. Finally, Dennis and Keith Edman talked over their testimony before coming to court, and, as Dennis said, "We knew there might be an issue over the toy gun."
Under close scrutiny, the testimony of all the State's occurrence witnesses contains substantial discrepancies. Dolores Custodio, who had a personal injury claim pending against defendant, denied knowledge of the existence of the gun, even though it was displayed for some time in her presence. In her initial statement to the police on the evening of the incident, she did not mention anything about being hit in the face by the flagpole, the event which in her later story was the catalyst of the entire incident. Finally, in her earlier statement to the police, she told of obscenities being exchanged between the passengers of the two cars. At trial, she denied hearing any obscenities coming from her car.
Dennis Edman, the driver of the car and Custodio's cousin and neighbor, initially told police that defendant's gun discharged while defendant was banging on the window with it. At trial, he repudiated this version and told of defendant deliberately shooting into the car. In the interim, he had discussed the case with the other occupants of the car and Custodio's personal injury attorney. At the preliminary hearing, Dennis stated that he saw defendant reach out of his car and pull the flagpole. At trial, he denied seeing this. Also at the preliminary hearing, Edman testified that he shouted obscenities at defendant's car. At trial, he was not sure.
David James, who was 15 years old at the time of the incident, initially told police that the gun was on the dashboard of the car during the ride. At trial, he testified that he did not see the gun in the car.
Kenneth Edman, Dennis Edman's son, who was 17 years old at the time of the incident, also initially told police that defendant's gun discharged when banged on the car window. Like his father, he changed his story at trial. He admitted that he discussed his planned testimony with his father, and that he read the transcript of his father's preliminary hearing testimony several days before trial. Further, he testified that his father, Dennis Edman, shouted obscenities at defendant's car prior to any contact between the cars.
Elias (Junior) Acevedo was 16 years old at the time of the incident. His testimony is riddled with inconsistencies. All the occupants of the car testified that Junior ran to the police station for help. All the testimony was that he left before the shot was fired, and Junior stated that he was at the police station when he heard the shot. Yet the "flash message" that went out over the police radio was "woman shot." *fn2 Further, Junior and most of the witnesses testified that Junior took two minutes to get to the police station and back. Junior claimed that Custodio was already removed from the scene when he returned, but others testified that she was still there. Finally, Junior initially told the police that he was in the car when defendant started banging on the window. At trial, he and all the others stated that Junior left to go to the police station prior to defendant's arrival at the car.
We must conclude that the testimony of the occupants of the Edman car raises a reasonable doubt concerning the incident. There are too many instances of witnesses changing their stories, too many details that are inconsistent, and too many details that are exactly the same in the testimony of several witnesses. The testimony of the victim Custodio is too conflicting and too inconsistent to be believed. We find the evidence so unsatisfactory that it cannot satisfy the requirement that defendant's guilt be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the circuit court of Cook County is reversed. *fn3
HARTMAN, P.J., and STAMOS, J., concur.

Change of date for move-in and opening of UI Stead Family Children's Hospital
The new University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital is postponing its original December 10 move-in until late January or early February 2017. In evaluating the progress to date, officials determined that they are close, but not quite ready, to move patients and staff into the new facility. The safety and comfort of patients, their families and hospital employees are the top priorities. Officials believe a late January or early February move-in and opening will provide the safest environment and smoothest transition for everyone involved. (Iowa Now)

Hampton nurse killed in weekend accident was a 'bright, shining star'
Griselda "Gris" Tello of Hampton, a 22-year-old nurse at Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa who died in a motor vehicle accident Friday, is being remembered for her bright smile and her desire to help others. "Her smile just lit up the room and made patients feel at ease," said Linda Latham, director of critical care and nursing administrative services at Mercy.

Mental health care still relatively difficult to access in New Hampshire
A survey from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) shows that for people with insurance, mental healthcare is still tougher to access than other kinds of care. There are a variety of reasons for that according to Ken Norton, executive director of NAMI New Hampshire. New Hampshire has had pretty severe workforce development issues. "A recent report indicated in the community mental health system alone that there were 200 vacancies, and that becomes a compounding effect, certainly," said Norton. There's certainly a psychiatric shortage, but also prescribers, nurse practitioners, nurses, psychiatric nurses, social workers, therapists. (New Hampshire Public Radio)
Thousands on Medicaid, MinnesotaCare to switch plans as Medica drops contract
More than 300,000 Minnesotans on public health programs could have to switch to a new plan next year after insurer Medica couldn't agree on a new contract with the state of Minnesota. The move is fallout from last year, when Minnesota for the first time issued contracts to manage Medicaid and MinnesotaCare plans based on competitive bidding. This is the second major upheaval in just over a year in Minnesota's public plans. Now that Medica's out, the roughly 310,000 Minnesotans with Medica-managed Medicaid or MinnesotaCare plans will be moved to new plans by May 1. (Twin Cities Pioneer Press)
Vermont's health care regulator hopeful state's plan stays
Vermont's top health care regulator said Wednesday he was hopeful any changes to the federal health care system under president-elect Donald Trump's administration would recognize that the state's effort to pay doctors to keep people healthy is a better business model than paying them for the procedures they perform. In September, Vermont and federal officials agreed that the state could begin implementing a system in which payments could go to providers to keep patients healthy, including Medicare and Medicaid recipients and residents with private insurance. It replaces the traditional fee-for-service that pays providers for the procedures they perform. (Associated Press/San Francisco Gate)
AHA congratulates Trump, proffers wish list
The American Hospital Association (AHA) this week urged President-elect Donald Trump to avoid "abrupt changes" to the Affordable Care Act that could destabilize the health care sector. The plea from AHA President and CEO Rick Pollack came near the end of a four-page wish list the hospital lobby sent this week to the president-elect, who has vowed to repeal Obamacare on his first day in office. Pollack's letter highlighted five areas of concern for hospitals: reducing the regulatory burden; enhancing affordability and value; continuing to promote quality and patient safety; ensuring access to care and coverage and continuing to advance health care system transformation and innovation.

Telemedicine may work as well as in-person visits for depression
Treating depression with video conference calls may offer symptom improvement similar to in-person visits, a recent US study suggests. "Based on results of this study and prior research, telemedicine is a highly relevant option to address the needs of rural patients or those living in remote locations, while providing patient satisfaction and quality of life similar to that provided by in-person treatment delivered at clinics," said lead study author Dr. Leonard Egede, a researcher at the at the Medical University of South Carolina and the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston. The findings add to existing evidence suggesting telemedicine can work as well as in-person visits. (Reuters/Fox News)
GOP may delay Obamacare replacement for years
Congressional Republicans are setting up their own, self-imposed deadline to make good on their vow to replace the Affordable Care Act. With buy-in from Donald Trump's transition team, GOP leaders on both sides of the Capitol are coalescing around a plan to vote to repeal the law in early 2017 — but delay the effective date for that repeal for as long as three years. They're crossing their fingers that the delay will help them get their own house in order, as well as pressure a handful of Senate Democrats — who would likely be needed to pass replacement legislation — to come onboard before the clock runs out and 20 million Americans lose their health insurance.

Medicaid management firms continue to lose millions
The three for-profit companies managing Iowa's Medicaid program continue to lose tens of millions of dollars on the project, a report released Wednesday shows. The companies, Amerigroup, AmeriHealth Caritas and UnitedHealthcare, reported losses ranging from 18 percent to 25 percent for the three months ending in September. The firms took over management of Iowa's $4 billion Medicaid program last year in a controversial shift ordered by Governor Terry Branstad. The governor continued to tout the project in a news release accompanying the quarterly report from his Department of Human Services. (Des Moines Register)
More urgent care centers open in Eastern Iowa
In a world where people love getting things instantly, it seems the health care field is trying to fill that need. The American Academy of Urgent Care Medicine says that is one of the reasons driving the growth in urgent care centers across the nation. Eastern Iowa is not immune to this growth. On Wednesday, Unity Point Allen Hospital opened an urgent care center in Cedar Falls. Unity Point – Finley will open an urgent care clinic in Dubuque next week. Unity Point – Finley Hospital President David Brandon says goal is to give more people an alternative to going to the emergency room, if they don't really need to. (KCRG)

Iowa Obamacare sign-ups run a bit higher this fall
President-elect Donald Trump's pledge to repeal Obamacare has not dampened Iowa applications for subsidized health insurance. Slightly more Iowans are signing up for such coverage this fall than did at this point last year. Federal officials said Wednesday that 12,099 Iowans had signed up for new or renewed policies via the Affordable Care Act exchange since the annual enrollment period opened November 1.

Rhode Island gets $129M to 'reinvent' Medicaid
The state of Rhode Island will receive federal funding up to $129.7 million to update how it operates its Medicaid program and to bolster its health care workforce training, Governor Gina Raimondo announced Monday. The state has framed the effort as "Reinventing Medicaid 2.0," its second stage in transforming the health care program. Rhode Island's focus on Medicaid improvement comes just as the incoming Republican administration plans to up-end the Affordable Care Act, so the overhaul will therefore have to proceed amid some uncertainty.

California State University students lead outdoor exercise in low-income areas
California State University students are instructing a free exercise program offered at parks in various California counties. The program, 3WINS Fitness, helps people get moving — and meet the federally recommended exercise requirements — without having to pay for expensive fitness club memberships Free park-based programs like 3WINS help increase physical activity among low-income residents and can prevent or lessen the impact of chronic diseases, according to Deborah Cohen, senior scientist at the RAND Corporation who conducted an evaluation of the program in 2015.

AHA says new laws under Trump administration could help struggling hospitals
Could bundled payments be the key to keeping struggling hospitals healthy? The American Hospital Association (AHA) seems to think so and it's planning on lobbying for several legislative changes including loosening anti-kickback laws to allow financial agreements between hospitals and other healthcare providers. The organization suggests that adopting bundled payments for individual episodes of treatment could encourage hospitals to contain growth and concentrate resources on services that improve quality and lower costs.

Only about 1 in 4 wants Trump to repeal health law
A new poll has found that only about one in four Americans wants President-elect Donald Trump to entirely repeal his predecessor's health care law that extended coverage to millions. The post-election survey released Thursday by the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation also found hints of a pragmatic shift among some Republican foes of "Obamacare." While 52 percent of Republicans say they want the law completely repealed, that is down from 69 percent just last month, before the election. And more Republicans now say they want the law "scaled back." (Associated Press/Washington Post)
From drug research to cancer moonshot, Congress preps massive health care bill
With Republicans just weeks away from possibly repealing the Affordable Care Act, President Obama's signature domestic policy program, it may seem like an odd time to look for bipartisan unity on legislation related to health care. Nevertheless, Congress appears to be ready to pass a major bill funding medical research and overhauling the approval process for new drugs and medical devices. The 21st Century Cures Act, which spans 25 separate sections touching on subjects as diverse as drug research and foster care, runs to nearly 1,000 pages. (Fiscal Times)

Mental health report does not paint rosy picture, as governor claims
Mental Health America recently issued its State of Mental Health Care in America report, based on data from 2014. The governor's office widely distributed a press release, stating that Iowa's overall ranking had moved from 13th to 7th in the nation with respect to a combination of 15 measures. The premise is that states with higher rankings have lower prevalence rates and higher rates of access. However, the report is based on data obtained between 2011 and 2014 and, therefore, does not take into account Iowa's transition to a privatized managed care system. How will Iowa rate once 2016 data is taken into account? (Des Moines Register)
DMACC and Iowa Wesleyan University enter innovative nursing partnership
Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) and Iowa Wesleyan University signed an innovative agreement resulting in the first-ever bachelors of science in nursing (BSN) completion program in the state of Iowa. This partnership enhances health care across Iowa and advanced health care education. As a result of this agreement, DMACC nursing graduates will be able to complete their BSN degrees in one year online, allowing them to stay in central Iowa and work. Also, there are financial aid opportunities through the Iowa Tuition Grant program. (DMACC)
Trump tags consultant who helped Iowa privatize Medicaid
A national consultant who helped the state of Iowa make the controversial shift to private Medicaid management is Donald Trump's choice to run the federal government's giant health insurance programs. Seema Verma leads an Indianapolis consulting firm that works with state governments on health care programs. Trump announced Monday that he would nominate her to lead the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Iowa's Department of Human Services has twice hired Verma's firm, SVC Inc., to help the state redesign its Medicaid program. (Des Moines Register)
Meet the nuns bringing prayers, smiles to Mercy patients
Nuns started working at Mercy Medical Center back in 1893, but they haven't walked the halls there for 25 years until now. Sister Rose Hellen works as a patient care tech on the oncology floor at Mercy Medical Center. She is one of four nuns from a congregation in Kenya who traveled all the way to Des Moines to work at the bedside of some of the sickest Iowans. "When we are caring for the sick, we are fulfilled and we feel happy," Hellen said. Nuns have been a part of Mercy since they started the hospital more than 120 years ago, but this is the first time in 25 years they are serving patients at the hospital. (KCCI)

After decades of rivalry, Charlotte hospitals partner to help the poor
Chief executives of Charlotte's two competing health systems – Carolinas HealthCare System and Novant Health – have launched a first-of-its-kind partnership that appears to signal a new era after decades of sometimes bitter rivalry. The hospital CEOs have met several times to talk about ways their systems can collaborate to improve access to health care for under-served communities in Charlotte. They invited leaders from more than 40 businesses, religious and educational institutions, local government agencies and nonprofits to meet Monday night to discuss ways to improve the health of Charlotte's communities.

GE, Children's Hospital form medical software venture
Boston Children's Hospital is teaming up with General Electric Co. (GE) to produce software that will help doctors more accurately interpret brain scans of young patients. Under a deal set to be announced Monday, Children's and Boston-based GE's health care division will develop the system over the next 18 months, then market it to hospitals around the world. The effort is part of GE's Health Cloud, which is launching this week and is expected, over the next three to five years, to house hundreds of different "apps" that doctors can use to sort through medical data.

Legislation to improve mental health care for millions faces congressional vote
Efforts to strengthen the country's tattered mental health system, and help millions of Americans suffering from mental illness, are getting a big boost this week, thanks to a massive health care package moving through Congress. Key provisions from a mental health bill approved last summer by the House of Representatives have been folded into the $6.3 billion 21st Century Cures Act, which aims to speed up drug development and increase medical research. The legislation also aims to make mental health a national priority and coordinate how mental health care is delivered. (Kaiser Health News)
CMS' star ratings for hospitals linked to social, economic factors
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS') hospital quality star ratings have been strongly criticized by industry stakeholders and Congress as unfairly tarnishing the reputations of hospitals in low-income communities. A new study reinforces the concerns, concluding that a hospital's rating is heavily influenced by its location's socio-economic conditions. Hospitals with relatively low star ratings from the CMS were located in cities with high "stress" levels, according to the study, published Monday in JAMA. The stress levels of cities were determined using an analysis that measured socio-economic conditions like unemployment and poverty rates in 150 cities across the country. (Modern Healthcare)
Paul Ryan's plan to change Medicare looks a lot like Obamacare
President-elect Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan agree that repealing the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and replacing it with some other health insurance system is a top priority. But they disagree on whether overhauling Medicare should be part of that plan. Medicare is the government-run health system for people aged 65 and older and the disabled. Trump said little about Medicare during his campaign, other than to promise that he wouldn't cut it. Ryan, on the other hand, has Medicare in his sights. The irony of the Ryan Medicare plan is that it would turn the government program into something that looks very much like the structure created for insurance plans sold under the ACA. (NPR)

Psych hospital firm to forego next state meeting
It will be at least another six months before a Tennessee company that has been trying to build a psychiatric hospital in the Iowa Quad-Cities will go before a state board for approval. Jim Shaheen, president of Strategic Behavioral Health LLC, of Memphis, confirmed Monday that the company will not seek the approval of Iowa's State Health Facilities Council at the panel's February meeting. Strategic has been trying for more than a year to build a 72-bed psychiatric hospital in the Quad-Cities.

What happens in New Jersey if Trump kills Medicaid expansion?
If President-elect Donald Trump and the Republican Congress carry out their promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the loss of federal Medicaid funding could mean a loss of health coverage for more than 500,000 New Jersey residents. Hospitals already accepted reduced reimbursement for Medicare as part of the grand bargain that led to enactment of the health care law. They did so expecting to see fewer uninsured patients, as Medicaid covered more people. If funding to expand Medicaid is cut, they will take a double financial hit, said Neil Eicher, a vice president of the New Jersey Hospital Association. (Newark Star-Ledger)
Alabama Medicaid change to managed care postponed till October
Alabama Governor Robert Bentley says Medicaid's shift to managed care will be pushed back from July to October amid uncertainty about funding and what changes the Trump administration might bring to Medicaid. The governor said he is committed to moving forward with the switch to managed care, but said there are a few unknowns, including funding for next fiscal year and if the Trump administration will give states block grants allowing more flexibility to write the rules for their programs. Alabama since 2013 has been working on a plan to shift some of the state's 1 million Medicaid patients to managed care. (Associated Press/AL.com)
North Carolina legislators face full agenda with public health, Medicaid updates

The afternoon session will review a waiver request with an end goal of Medicaid oversight being placed in the hands of three statewide managed care organizations. (Winston-Salem Journal)
Rural health care access at risk
Health care remains an issue of debate across the country. However, when it comes to rural health care, the issue is complicated further by geography and a lack of providers, resulting in a loss of competition and ultimately costly burdens being placed on patients. There are a number of medical issues that affect rural communities at a greater rate than their urban counterparts. The majority of those living in rural regions receive their health care coverage through private payers or public programs like Medicaid, with many using a combination of both to bridge the gaps in care. Yet rural communities are now faced with a push by insurance companies to limit prescription drug coverage. (The Hill)

Trump has pledged to move quickly on overhauling the landmark measure, but has been vague about what he hopes to see in a replacement bill. Also, Seema Verma was picked to become administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. (Associated Press/U.S. News & World Report)

New UnityPoint building serves patients where they live
UnityPoint-Pinnacle Prairie, UnityPoint Health's latest move — and part of a trend in the health care industry — will bring health care to people where they live. It's 90,000 square feet, or 30,000 per floor over three floors. The building was scheduled to open in December and a grand opening celebration is anticipated for January. "There's a number of specialty offices and urgent care, primary care," UnityPoint CEO Pam Delagardelle said. "It's all clinic based and ancillary based, but it's not hospital-based services. It's really a health and wellness campus. We're really set up to deliver care to keep people healthy." (Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier)
Obstetric unit to come to Marengo hospital
A unanimous vote was collected after hearing the Marengo Memorial Hospital's (MMH) presentation before the State Health Facilities Council on Tuesday October 11, to propose converting two medical/surgical beds to add a two-bed obstetrics unit. The application included a written analysis that would help provide obstetric services for women with low risk pregnancies in and around the surrounding communities of Marengo. The formal letter for approval was received last week. According to MMH, the closest location for delivery is approximately 32 miles from Marengo, requiring women to travel more than 60 miles roundtrip for their numerous prenatal visits and to deliver their babies.

Republicans who were on the legislative front lines 20 years ago say there is much professional joy in being able to advance a policy agenda without political opposition, but that intraparty challenges remain.

Small-town hospital closings leave rural Texans far from medical care
Since 2013, 15 rural hospitals — located in counties with no more than 60,000 residents — have closed across Texas. Rural hospitals face many challenges, including competition for doctors from larger cities and ever-increasing student debt for doctors coming out of medical school. There's also uncertainty about another round of government reimbursement cuts. If Texas legislators cut Medicaid payments in the upcoming session as they did in 2011, more rural hospitals could fail. At a September 13 hearing of the state's Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, legislators discussed the future of rural health care. (Fort Worth Star Telegram)

The dearth of hospitals is just one of the issues threatening the well-being of the roughly 300,000 Nevadans who live in small towns and rural communities.

Across the nation, residents of rural areas are experiencing health-outcome disparities, including "higher incidence of disease and disability, increased mortality rates, lower life expectancies and higher rates of pain and suffering," according to the Rural Health Information Hub.

Republican states that expanded Medicaid want it kept
Former Arizona Governor Jan Brewer fought her own Republican party in the state Legislature for months to push through a Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act. Arizona is one of 31 states that expanded Medicaid, many of them run by Democrats. Republicans have blocked expansion in the remaining 19 states. Among the GOP-led states that expanded Medicaid, many officials are strong proponents of the program that has brought insurance to about 9 million low-income Americans who can't possibly afford to buy it themselves. States that strongly oppose Medicaid expansion, however, continue to do so. (Associated Press/Washington Post)
Managed care plans increasingly taking over Medicaid long-term care
States are increasingly turning to private firms to provide managed long-term supports and services (MLTSS). Their goal is to rein in costs and increase budget predictability. Officials say it enables delivery of more coordinated care and prevents sending people to expensive nursing home settings. But some advocates are claiming that they are seeing care suffer under the model. Until recently most state Medicaid programs have excluded people with disabilities from managed care because of their complex needs. Twenty states now have shifted their MLTSS program to private managed care companies. (Modern Healthcare)

A little piece of heaven in the South of France
About the Owner
I am an English Francophile, fluent in French having studied it at University and having lived and worked in France, albeit a long time ago. Meanwhile, I currently live in USA with my husband, 2 children and a golden retriever, but plan eventually - after over 20 years as an expat living in the Far East and now the US - to retire back in Europe.

A little piece of heaven in the South of France
We spent a week in this villas a group of 8 - 4 adults (parents) with 4 grown up children. VIlla Mauniers is a beautiful villa, well equipped for at least 8 (depending on the ages - we didn't use the top bunk but did use the sofa bed) in a pretty and quiet part of the countryside. Fabulous pool which we barely left, although the Gorge Du Verdun is well worth a day trip - can especially recommend the east end of the lake which was quiet even though it was peak season - with pedalos, paddle boards to hire and not much more - a small café for drinks and sandwiches but wonderfully peaceful. Lourges market is a must (although some of us missed it and bitterly regret it) and there are lovely walks around as well (a daily hour long walk ensured we felt less guilty drinking the beautiful local rose wine!) All in all I can't recommend this place enough.
Villa Mauniers
This was probably the best Villa that we have ever stayed in. The quiet private setting with excellent facilities were superb.
There certainly was plenty of room to relax and chill either within the lovely interior or to sit around the pool and enjoy the garden and grounds.
The Pool was clean and well maintained.
The Villa truly felt like a tasteful home rather than another rental.
The location was ideal for the markets towns and a exploration.
The team the run and manage the Villa also just made it all so easy with no hassle.
As Good as it Gets
My wife and I joined my son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren for a week combining fun activities and relaxation at and around Villa Mauniers, a lovely house near the river Argens in the beautiful and peaceful provencale countryside between Lorgues and Le Thoronet. The villa certainly lives up to, and even surpasses, its description on the comprehensive website.
This is an ideal place to relax and unwind, with its comfortable rooms, excellent facilities, sun terrace, barbecue area and large and beautiful swimming pool. It is also a great base for exploring the delights of the region - we particularly enjoyed our visits to the street market in Lorgues, the steep and winding streets and ancient buildings of Les Arcs, the magnificent views at the Gorges du Verdon and the Cascade and translucent green rock pools near Cotignac.
We could happily have eaten round the barbecue every evening, but there is certainly no shortage of excellent restaurants in the surrounding towns and villages.
We have no hesitation in recommending Villa Mauniers to anyone looking for the kind of location and experience described above, and we hope to return there ourselves at the first opportunity.
From the Owner
"My husband and I bought the property in Lorgues in 2010 with a longer-term view of spending much of the year there when we retire. Meanwhile, for the next few years, we have decided to let it out to holiday makers so that other people can also enjoy the house. We love our several visits each year, and look forward to spending more time at the house in the future. As I used to spend many summer holidays down on the Côte D'Azur with French friends, I know the area well. We chose to buy in the rural setting of Lorgues, however, as it is away from the madding crowds, but within easy reach of the coast. We love the temperate climate, the local food and the region's rosé wine. It is the one place where we feel we can really relax."
Activity and Interests
45 minutes drive to the beaches of St. Raphael or Frejus.
1 hour's drive from Nice Airport. 1 hour's drive from Toulon/Hyeres airport. 1.5 hour's drive from Marseille Airport. 45 minutes drive from TGV station at Aix en Provence or 20 minutes from Les Arcs/Draguignan station. Car is essential, as villa is in an isolated, rural setting, 6km from the market town of Lorgues and 3km from the village of Le Thoronet. The villa is only 15 minutes drive from the A8 motorway.
The nearest village is Le Thoronet, 3km away, and the market town of Lorgues is 6km away. The famous Gorge du Verdon is an hour's drive from the villa, and St Tropez and the coast are about 45-50 minutes drive.

Halflings – Memory Match Challenge is a fast-paced memory-style game based on the young adult book series Halflings. For those unfamiliar with the books, Halflings is a trilogy of paranormal romance books written by Heather Burch. In the series, Nikki Youngblood discovers she's the central target of supernatural attacks and turns to three half-angel boys (Raven, Mace, and Vine) for protection. A growing attraction between Nikki and two of her protectors presents a new danger. While Nikki risks a broken heart, Mace and Raven could lose everything, including their souls. As the mysteries behind the boys' powers and Nikki's role in a scientist's dark plan unfold, Nikki is faced with choices that will affect the future of an entire race of heavenly beings, and could disrupt the precarious equilibrium of the earthly world.
Halflings – Memory Match Challenge gives readers the opportunity to enjoy the book's exciting universe beyond the printed page. In the app, players must remember where symbols are hidden and unveil them in pairs. Tap on tiles to uncover symbols two at a time. The levels of play become more difficult as players advance. With each level, more symbols appear and you have less time to find the required number of matches. You can even add a row of tiles if you want to make a level harder. If you lose a level, you can replay that level without starting over the entire game. There are 30 levels.
The game comes with a free download of the illustrated prequel e-book The Making of a Halfling. The app also gives fans the opportunity to connect with Heather Burch on The Halflings Network at halflings.ning.com and receive updates about upcoming books in the series.
The app was designed as a way to further engage fans of the book series, and those are the kids who are going to be interested in this app. Kids who haven't read the book series might not understand all the content in the app. We assume that all the symbols (including a shield, bow and arrow, and paw print) have something to do with the series' storyline. Fans of the book series will probably enjoy the free prequel e-book more than they will enjoy playing the matching game.
The app is age-graded 4 and up. The books, however, are for ages 15 and up. The app will most likely appeal to fans of the books.
The app is available on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch as well as on Android devices.
