Innovative Care Models FAQs
What is a Patient Centered Medical Home?
A Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is a model of healthcare delivery that is founded on an on-going relationship with a personal physician trained to provide first contact, continuous, and comprehensive care. It is a model of practice in which a team of health professionals, led by a personal physician, works collaboratively to provide high levels of care access and communication, care coordination and integration, and care quality and safety.

Contract terminated after costs rose from $91K to $161K
Contracting costs jumped 77 percent on a contract to install Wi-Fi infrastructure at 236 Veterans Affairs Department facilities, in part because the VA rushed the procurement, according to a new report from the department's Office of Inspector General.
The VA awarded the five-year contract to Catapult Technology Ltd. for $91.4 million in October 2008, but current costs are projected at $161.5 million, according to the report by Mark Myers, director of the IG's Healthcare Resources Division Office of Contract Review.
The VA terminated the contract due to invoicing and pricing problems in October 2010 after installation was completed at 45 sites.
VA inspector general claims savings
VA mailed it in on FLITE contract, IG says
"We determined that the time frames established to plan, solicit and award a contract were unreasonable," Myers wrote. "Our review determined that because of the rush to award, VA did not establish firm requirements and issued a statement of objectives that lacked the detail needed for vendors to submit reasonable firm-fixed-price proposals to VA. The lack of detail has caused contract costs to escalate under the contract as well as significant delay of installation of Wi-Fi nationwide."
The IG report dated March 31 made seven recommendations to the VA's deputy assistant secretary at the Office of Acquisitions and Logistics, along with the assistant secretary for information and technology.
In a response, the acquisitions and logistics deputy assistant secretary said the entity that awarded the contract was not part of the acquisitions and logistics office at the time of the award.
The VA deputy assistant secretary agreed with four findings and disagreed with two of the findings, in one case asserting that the finding was moot because the contract has been terminated.
Also, the VA deputy assistant secretary agreed with six of the seven recommendations.

I have been around for a long time and have deal with IT (OIT)roll outs. I have all ways felt any nation wide roll out cost the VA 100% more than it should. Here at the Portland Medical Center we have staff that knows how to do this type of work, yet we have to work with OIT and babysit their conttractors knowing that we are wasting money. We can no longer waste this type of money.
I was on the original work group for this project. The cost overruns were no surprise to me. At the outset I warned the leaders that the budget originally submitted was 1/2 of what would be necessary. On top of that, feature creep set in, adding access points in areas with limited benefit (stairwells for example), effectively stealing resources from later installs.
And now, the same group wants to control future RTLS installations - likely leading to another disaster
To the VA IG do not stop there keep digging there is more to this. There were other solutions offered but the VA had decided what they wanted before hand and were closed to other solutions.

ATLANTA- Former President Jimmy Carter warned Americans against curtailing human rights in the name of homelandsecurity, saying it undermines the country's credibility in nations struggling with oppressive governments.
Carter, speaking Tuesday at the Carter Center in Atlanta, said the Patriot Act, profiling of Muslims and holding suspected terrorists in Guantanamo Bay run counter to the principles of democracy the United States preaches to the rest of the world.
''They have been held in prison without access to their families, or a lawyer, or without knowing the charges against them,'' Carter said. ''We've got hundreds of people, some of them as young as 12, captured in Afghanistan, brought to Guantanomo Bay and kept in cages for what is going on two years.''
Carter said it's difficult for international aid workers to spread the message of human rights to places like Cuba, Africa and the Middle East when the U.S. government doesn't practice fairness and equality.
''I have never been as concerned for our nation as I am now about the threat to our civil liberties,'' Carter said.
Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, spoke on a wide range of topics, including working for peace between Israel and the Palestinians, eradicating guinea worm, eliminating river blindness, spreading democracy,erasing the stigma of mental illness and narrowing the gap between rich and poor.
Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his work in 1978 to mediate the Camp David accords between Israel and Egypt.
Carter said the world community needs to help the Palestinians and Israel resolve their conflict. A U.N. resolution proposes Israel's withdrawal from settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in exchange for the acknowledgment of Israel's right to exist.
''Do we want peace, or do we want to maintain settlements?'' Carter asked in response to an audience question.
The Carter Center's efforts to reduce guinea worm could make it the first disease since smallpox to be eradicated from the planet, Carter said. Ingested when people drink water contaminated with water fleas, guinea worms grow to 2 to 3 feet long within the body and then painfully exit the skin.
Only 55,000 cases were reported last year, compared to 3.5 million cases in 1986.
''A little girl held up a sign that said, 'Go away guinea worm, Jimmy Carter is coming,''' said Rosalynn Carter.

DIY Oil change at 49.9k
Bought my 05 CPO in Dec 08 with 41k. My wife drives the vehicle in start/go traffic in NJ and now has 49.9k on the odometer.
I was given the maintenance records showing that it had 15k, 30k, and 41K k oil changes/maint.
I've done all my past oil changes on everything from motorcycles, VW's, Chryslers, etc.
Never a problem, so I wanted to do it myself since a year has gone by since last oil change. The last oil change was supposedly in Oct 08 at 41k when the dealer took in the car before I bought it.
Here's what I found today when I changed it myself. Large clumps of sludge and visible
dirt particles at the bottom of my drain basin. The oil filter was deformed and filthy with dirt particles. I'm now wondering if the oil in fact was changed at 41k.
I'm glad I did not wait the additional 6k miles to change the oil with the
service indicator.
Should I change it again as a precaution to see if more sludge comes out? I think so.
So as I lesson, I would definitely change the oil immediately after purchasing any used car from a dealer.
Sorry so long winded.

Pittsburgh Foundation Day of Giving helps Sewickley groups
Donations raised through the Pittsburgh Foundation's Day of Giving event have helped at least two local nonprofits offer financial assistance to families in need, directors said.
Those families likely might not have been able to take part in programs offered through the Sewickley Valley YMCA and the Laughlin Children's Center, leaders of the two organizations said.
"We've never denied a family for financial aid," Laughlin Center Executive Director Doug Florey said. "But ... there may be a day we don't have those donor resources that we might have to say no. I certainly hope that day doesn't come. But it's feasible."
That's why any amount of money raised through Tuesday's Day of Giving is important, YMCA Executive Director Trish Hooper said.
"Without that money, there may be kids who aren't able to go summer camp or families who wouldn't have access to affordable child care so that they could go to work," she said.
Last year, about $168,000 in financial assistance for child care was given to 111 families, Hooper said.
In 2012, about $130,000 in financial assistance was offered.
Including Laughlin and the YMCA, 12 other members of the Sewickley Area Non-Profit Consortium are working to increase donations, including Allegheny Land Trust, Child Health Association of Sewickley, Fern Hollow Nature Center, Friends of Quaker Valley Schools, Homeless Children's Education Fund, Pittsburgh Fellows, Samaritan Counseling Center of Western Pa., Sewickley Public Library, Sweetwater Art Center, Union Aid Society, Watson Institute (D.T. Watson) and Village Green.
As mental health funding has been cut, organizations such as Samaritan Counseling Center find more people seeking their services, its leader says.
"Without public support, the Samaritan Center would not be able to provide subsidized counseling for economically disadvantaged people," Executive Director Carl Baughman said.
"While the majority of the clients we see have health insurance coverage, about one-third of our clients do not have health care coverage or have extremely high deductibles. Donations allow us to continue to provide subsidized services to approximately 1,000 people on an annual basis, especially single, low-income mothers who are dealing with serious crises in their lives."
Samaritan provides faith-based counseling to more than 3,000 men, women and children in Western Pennsylvania.
Supporting local nonprofits is important, Hooper said.
"Every dollar that's given here, stays here," she said. "All of those dollars are used to support people in our community."
That's why members of the nonprofit consortium are working together to reach out to donors, she said.
"That's the great part of the effort that we're doing together," Hooper said. "We're encouraging people who live here and work here to also give here."

Nova Scotia NDP leader promises to reopen talks with province's teachers
HALIFAX — In the first full weekend of campaigning, Nova Scotia's New Democrats took aim at the Liberal government's rocky track record with teachers.
STELLARTON – A former Stellarton police chief is calling the town "dysfunctional" in light of council's recent decision to stay with the status quo in policing.
Hughie Muir, who worked in the town's police department for 30 years before retiring, said Tuesday the town's decision doesn't address any of the concerns related to the high cost of policing.
"I also did not see anywhere in (police commission chairman Don Taylor's) statement where reference was made to ongoing budget overruns, what the proposals were from other parties and what the reasoning might be for trying to bind New Glasgow, Trenton and Westville and the county to Stellarton's future vision of policing," he said.
He said councillors Denise Taylor and Judith MacLellan both tried to explain the decision, but in the end little information was given as to how the town came to its decision.
"I worked for the Town of Stellarton for 30 years and have lived here much longer. I know most of these decision makers very well so I will be as generous as I can be. "It is dysfunctional and seldom agrees on anything," he said.
Muir said the entire process was flawed from the beginning. It started in July 2013 when Stellarton notified two other municipal units and the RCMP that it would be accepting proposals in regard to a change in policing in the town.
At the time, police commission chair George Megeney said the town's policing budget was $1.5 million for 4,600 people and "costs were going through the roof."
Muir said New Glasgow announced in October 2013 it wouldn't be submitting a proposal because of lack of information supplied by Stellarton.
"By this point, I had already seen much of the information which was/ wasn't provided to New Glasgow, by Stellarton, and I was fully aware that New Glasgow hadn't received anywhere close to the information they needed to make a proposal that would have been in keeping with their best practices and standards," he said.
Muir said he attended the Stellarton meeting in October to let the public know that New Glasgow didn't receive everything it needed for its proposal, but he said he came away from the meeting feeling like it was "waste of time."
He said he felt Coun. Denise Taylor's recommendation of having a public meeting on policing was a good idea, but it never happened.
"Just imagine that, the public actually having a say in the democratic process," he said.
Policing in Stellarton came up for discussion again in March 2014 when a town councillor questioned if a "back room deal had been struck to accept a proposal for a joint Stellarton/Westville policing deal," he said.
Muir said Megeney had told fellow councillor Denise Taylor that he "thought a deal had been reached at the committee meeting involving the two departments, but other town councillors were unaware of such an agreement.
"For whatever reason, a week or so following that March meeting, Stellarton now had a new police commission chairman, Don Taylor," he said.
Policing was not brought up again until June 4, when New Glasgow announced it had received word from Stellarton that the status quo with policing would remain in effect.
However, he said, this notification went out before town council had a chance to give its final approval on the committee recommendation.
"Why were New Glasgow and the other parties notified prior to the rubber stamping actually being carried out?" he asked.
The police review committee made two recommendations during Monday's meeting. The first being that the Town of Stellarton maintain the status quo of the Stellarton Police Department.
Their second recommendation was that the Town of Stellarton request that the minister of justice implement a policing study with respect to the amalgamation of policing in Pictou County and that the town commits to adopting the recommendations of the report once completed.
"What is Plan B?" Muir asks in the event the minister doesn't approve their plans.
"The committee concluded that none of the proposals presented are in the long-term best interest of Stellarton or Pictou County based on short- and long-term financial obstacles, as well as the lack of 'big picture' consideration," chairman Taylor read prior to the council vote. Muir would like someone to explain what this actually means.
"Some of the decisions made by Stellarton's elected officials have certainly caused me to question whether or not voting in this town is worthwhile," he said. "This particular 'status quo' policing decision has confirmed for me that becoming involved in voting in this town is pretty well a waste of my time and an exercise in futility."

Jim Irwin remembered
When I first met Jim Irwin, he didn't have much to say to me.
After all, here I was, this 20-year old kid, sitting at his desk in the first week of my internship at WTMJ Radio in the summer of 1993. He was a legend; I was nothing. I was waiting for my supervisor, Bryan Belmer, to emerge from a meeting with then-program director Tom Baylerian and I happened to pick Jim's desk to park myself in front of.
Looking back on it, I've probably been brusque with an intern or two in my day as well. Especially if you were sitting at my desk.
That was my first encounter with Jim, who passed away Sunday at the age of 77 in California.
Over the summer, the few times we would encounter each other, I tried to chip away at the iceberg. Granted, I may have been this snot-nosed kid to him at the time, but with each encounter, our exchanges gradually got more and more pleasant. Mind you, that summer I wouldn't describe him as "warm" but the day he learned and used my name was a watershed moment for me indeed.
Fast forward three years later, when I was hired at WTMJ in the spring of 1996. Jim knew that he wanted to retire; he just wasn't sure of the exact timetable quite yet. And while his exterior initially was a gruff one, the day his first granddaughter was born, he simply could not wait to show me pictures of her. She was his pride and joy. The smile on Jim's face when he was showing her off is my most indelible memory of him, far more so than any football call of his.
Over the next few years I tried to pick up as much as I could from Jim. Granted, he was very old-school about certain things; my favorite story was that one year on his employee evaluation he simply wrote in "I'm great" to all of the questions posed to him and turned it in.
But while Jim Irwin did not suffer fools lightly, yeah, he did have to re-do that evaluation, rolling his eyes the entire time. "What do they have to evaluate?" he would ask. After all, what were they going to do, fire him?
Until his last…Read more...

From Oreos to margarine: Five terrible foods -- and how we got stuck with them
Fish sticks....
There are some foods that are so vile that it defies belief that they ever got created -- let alone stuck around through always-changing markets and tastes. Necessity is the mother of invention, in some cases with shortages and substitutions, but imitation can be flattery, or just cooked up to make a buck in a free, open market -- either way, some of the nargiest edible inventions that people have come up with keep hanging around despite being basically inedible curses upon humanity, and here's a list of five terrible foods -- and how we got stuck with them.
See also: -McFish Bites: McDonald's sure knows how to bait a hook - Five foods that are just fine to waste -- starting with Oreos - Best Mashed Potatoes: Astoria Restaurant
Nothing will make fish sticks fancy.
5. Fish sticks Fish are not spawned bearing bread crumbs, but somehow sticks of minced--often inferior -- white fish globbed with breading came to be an American household staple, and public school children are force-fed them so they'll grow up believing that fish should be rectangular, hand-held and bite-sized. Even the most expensive, well-produced fish sticks aren't very good, with burnt-potato-tasting crusts and salty, watery insides. We got stuck with these thanks to our British friends across the pond -- probably in retribution for Yorktown -- as a direct result of the invention of the plate froster in 1929, the first quick freeze method for food. To make sure it worked, food needed to be in slim rectangular cuts, and since Brits love fish, it was picked as the go-to experiment.
Unfortunately it did work, and today, fish are put through machines to debone them and peel the skins off, then cut into fish pulp, formed into frozen slabs, whacked into pieces, breaded and par-fried, re-frozen and boxed or bagged up.
And no amount of chives will fix these...
4. Instant mashed potatoes Don't lie -- we've all made instant mashed potatoes in a pinch and most of us have gotten stuck picking at them at someone else's house as well, trying really hard to pretend they were delicious. Now it must be said that Potato Pearls aren't so bad -- they cook up fluffy and have a good flavor -- but those ubiquitous plastic zip bags full of dry flakes almost always turn into grainy mush that smells like carpet fibers, and they never, ever truly replace the exquisite beauty of form and function that is the real, actual mound of gravy-dripping, steaming hot mashed potatoes made with whole potatoes.
We got mashed potato flakes foisted on us when a Canadian scientist named Edward Asselbergs constructed the dehydrated flakes while working for the Department of Agriculture in Ottawa. The powdered food technique he developed was used thereafter to add protein to foods for people in nutrient-deficient countries, and of course, to create easy-to-make foods for military field rations and camping enthusiasts.
3. Dreamsicles Vanilla ice cream by itself is a creamy, fragrant confection, and oranges are full of sweet-tart, summer-scented juice. But when you force them together into a frozen, hellish marriage of convenience you get an unpleasant, semi-milky, part-acidic bar of flavors that produce little else but cold, cough-syrup-flavored burbs.
There are an insane number of differing accounts on how these got started, but I think it's fair to say that whoever dreamed up dreamsicles should be chained to a post and gnawed on by rats. Popsicle popularized them, so I give them most of the blame. Then again, the company's other frozen creations bring balance to the forces of evil (fudgesicles, bomb pops and those new "Yosicles" with frozen yogurt) so I can't condemn Popsicle too harshly.Next Page

Quote:We have a £10 minimum on card transactions at our pub. Taking less than that actually means that with the cut the card companies take, we end up making a loss on the drinks purchased.Dont be angry with the small private business working on such narrow margins that they cant absorb the charges, be angry with the card companies who make money from you, and from the vendor on the same transaction. It is their greed, and the continued globalisation of the tertiary industry sector that is making independant businesses take such steps.

Quote:I use my debit card because it makes tracking my purchases much easier for my budget. I work for a company that processes the credit card transactions for the business and therefore make a living off of it. However, I won't say the industry is perfect, nor will I say it needs improving, what I will say is that both the merchant and the consumer should know what they can and are supposed to do, and that would help keep fees and rates down. An interesting thing is these rewards cards. The extra rewards you get come from the higher fees a merchant pays for accepting that particular card. Visa, MC, Discover, and Amex each have their own regulations about what merchants can and can't do. If you go to Visa's website and search for "rules for visa merchants" there's a pdf file that will tell you what a merchant can and can't do whith a Visa card (clearly states that they must accept the transaction regardless of the amount). Why do people blatantly defy what they agreed to do in the first place? In this case he gets a first warning, the second time a fine, the third time a fine and he can't process Visa cards anymore. Do people not think.

Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves
Review by MJC
"Awesome fighter but just doesen't take advantage of the Dreamcast's power."
Fatal Fury is Back, and it kicks ass this time around!
Graphics: 8/10
The characters are a little blocky, but the animation is heaven. When I first got this game I would just stare at the characters in the character select screen, cause they look so damn cool how smooth they move. The background are look great too, they have a lot of detail and actually change in between rounds. So while the graphics aren't quite Capcom vs SNK, it definitely blows Street Fighter Alpha 3 away.
Sound: 6/10
I can't really complain, the voices are great but the music quality seems little low. I've never been too crazy about the music in most SNK games. The major problem though is a lot of the sound seems to be coming out of the DC. It appears that instead of the game loading everything before the fight the game loads it while you play. So the DC makes some pretty loud loading sounds, and a lot of the sound bytes are little delayed, like the move is already done delayed. I know the DC has enough RAM to load everything so it is pretty obvious this game was rushed.
Gameplay: 7/10
You know punch, kick, combo, Super Move... I imagine if you get this game you already know a thing or two about fighting games. But I just say the game is pretty limited, there is only Story Mode (Arcade), Survival, and Vs. So there isn't alot of modes to keep you busy, it's really just a straight port.
Replay Value: 6/10
Like I said above it's a straight port so there isn't a whole lot to keep you busy but it is still a great fighting game and fun to play with a friend. The only thing new is a Picture Gallery and there are some pretty cool pictures but there isn't much you can do with a picture. But almost all the characters are great so if you got a buddy that also likes Fatal Fury, you'll get alot of play out of it.
Worth Buying?
Let's face it you probably already found a way to play the arcade game, so I don't know if I can recommend you buy it, but if you are a hard core fan like me and you just want to own this great game, of course. You should be able to find it for $20 but I wouldn't say it's worth much more.
Reviewer's Rating: 3.5 - Good

Uzbekistan's Parliament and UNICEF cement cooperation for children until 2015 and launch children's rights resource centre in the Parliament
TASHKENT, Uzbekistan - April 7, 2009
The Legislative Chamber of the Parliament of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) signed off a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) today which lights the way for joint work for children until 2015. Mr. A Shadmanov, Vice Speaker of the Chamber and Mr. Mahboob Shareef, UNICEF Representative in Uzbekistan, signed of the MoU.
"The MoU shows the parliaments commitment to the full realization of children's rights and will open new avenues of cooperation for children, particularly with a range of parliamentary committees," said Ms. Shahnaz Kianian Firouzgar, UNICEF Deputy Regional Director for Central and Eastern Europe and the CIS who is currently visiting Uzbekistan to discuss further expansion of collaboration for children between the UNICEF and Government
Ms. Kianian Firouzgar, Ms. Sayora Rashidova, Ombudsperson, Mr. Akmal Saidov, head of Parliamentarian Committee on Democratic Institutes, NGOs and Citizen's self-governing bodies and Members of Parliament (MPs) witnessed the signing ceremony.
A Resource Center on children's rights was opened at the Legislative Chamber on the same day. The centre will ensure Members of Parliament (MPs) get the latest information on children's issues to support the work of range of the parliamentary committees. UNICEF provided technical support for its establishment.
The Resource Centre will be instrumental in organizing regular meetings and discussions on various emerging children's issues at the Legislative Chamber of the Parliament. UNICEF will work with MPs in ensuring the rights of the children through developing partnerships with other interested organizations and NGO's, bringing in international experts, and sharing UNICEF experiences from other countries.
Last year Uzbekistan ratified the optional protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography, of the Convention of the Rights of the Child (CRC). The second CRC protocol on the involvement of children in armed conflicts is awaiting ratification. Within this framework, the launch ceremony also included the presentation of the Uzbek versions of publications of "CRC and its optional protocols" and "E-compilation of international documents on children's rights".

The Daily Dish
NASA reacts to Beyoncé song
NASA officials say the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster "should never be trivialized" in response to a new song from Beyoncé that features an audio sample recorded just after the craft exploded on takeoff in 1986, killing all seven crewmembers.
The space agency issued the statement late Tuesday after the pop star began to receive criticism from Challenger families and others for using the short sample that includes the words "major malfunction" as an allusion to a failed relationship.
"The Challenger accident is an important part of our history; a tragic reminder that space exploration is risky and should never be trivialized," said the statement from Lauren B. Worley, NASA's press secretary. "NASA works every day to honor the legacy of our fallen astronauts as we carry out our mission to reach for new heights and explore the universe."
NASA's response came after Beyoncé explained the use of the short snippet in a statement to ABC News Tuesday that stopped short of an apology. The sample appears at the beginning of her song "XO" from her new self-titled album.
"My heart goes out to the families of those lost in the Challenger disaster," Beyoncé's statement said. "The song 'XO' was recorded with the sincerest intention to help heal those who have lost loved ones and to remind us that unexpected things happen, so love and appreciate every minute that you have with those who mean the most to you. The songwriters included the audio in tribute to the unselfish work of the Challenger crew with hope that they will never be forgotten."
Steel receives Legion of Honor
Novelist Danielle Steel joined the ranks of Douglas MacArthur, Julia Child, Walt Disney, Alan Greenspan and Bob Dylan on Wednesday when she became the latest American to receive France's highest award, the Legion of Honor.
Steel, who has sold some 600 million books worldwide and lives in San Francisco and Paris, was made a "chevalier" of the order. In 2002, she had been named an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters, France's top cultural honor.
In reporting the new award, the Telegraph cited a comment Steel had once made about her influences: "Well, I always go back to the classics. I love French literature. Colette is a special favorite of mine."
Among the other honorees named in the traditional Jan. 1 announcement were the Nazi hunter Serge Klarsfeld, the actress Michele Morgan, and the circus performer and director James Thierrée, Charlie Chaplin's grandson.
Cuoco, Sweeting get hitched
"The Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco is starting off 2014 as a Mrs.
Cuoco's representative, Melissa Kates, says the actress wed tennis pro Ryan Sweeting in a New Year's Eve ceremony at a ranch in Santa Susana, Calif.
Afterward, the 28-year-old Cuoco posted a few photos with her 26-year-old husband on her Instagram account. She wore a pink Vera Wang wedding gown and captioned one picture as "Greatest night of my entire life."
The couple dated for three months before getting engaged in September.
Cuoco previously dated her "Big Bang" co-star Johnny Galecki.

See what leaders are saying about it
"Larry Senn and the concepts he teaches like the Mood Elevator have had a profound impact on my career, the success of YUM! Brands around the world and on me personally."
"Larry Senn has had a profound influence on my life through elegant, yet simple principles, now found in 'Up the Mood Elevator.' Practice the lessons in 'Up the Mood Elevator' and the arc of your life will be changed forever…for the better."
"Larry's gift of offering simple plus powerful guidance to high happiness and success is masterful. The Mood Elevator tool is helping change lives, organizations and families; thus our world. I invite any leader interested in upping their own and their organization's mood and impact to read 'Up the Mood Elevator'."
"'Up the Mood Elevator' inspires leaders to live more of life at their best, build better relationships and create more success."
"'Up the Mood Elevator' is an engaging lift into the deeper aspects of our selves and the richest parts of our lives. Through his immense personal and corporate experience, Larry Senn shares practical wisdom on how to enhance our success in business, relationships, health, and everyday living."
"This book is the ticket for anyone who wants to spend more time on the top floors of the Mood Elevator. There is much to be gained from an attitude of gratitude and understanding how to get there. Larry Senn is doing a great service by bringing the Mood Elevator to a larger audience."
"The Mood Elevator is the best thinking and guidance I have ever read on healthy living for individuals and healthy cultures for organizations. The tools are being used and embraced in our organization and we are experiencing remarkable results."
"In Up the Mood Elevator, Larry Senn has given leaders a remarkably effective tool to harness the power of introspection to focus on what matters most to their organization's success and to help them be their personal best both in and outside of the office."
"It is one of the most inspiring books I have read in my lifetime. The ideas match with mine as I am also fitness freak having hailed from Indian Air Force. Senn's ideas and approach appear me like that of Peter Drucker who balanced his personal, professional and social life and enjoyed mountaineering, trekking and swimming. In fact, he may be the living Peter Drucker."
"Limited Brands and their Victoria's Secret Brand were named the Most Admired Specialty Retailer of 2011 by Fortune. They also had the highest same store sales gains. Senn Delaney played a role both with the CEO and senior team and by bringing concepts like the Mood Elevator to every store around the world."
"The Mood Elevator had been a tremendous tool in helping our team elevate the energy and commitment to the task at hand."
"Once again Larry Senn has written a book which is simple to understand but has profound implications on how we interact. He makes the point that we are in control of our mood. I highly recommend this book."
"Larry Senn transforms already hardworking and smart winners and takes them to a much higher level of performance. My personal learning regarding the Mood Elevator and the Shadow I cast on the organization had an immediate and very positive impact on the morale of our executive team."
"Up the Mood Elevator – Living Life At Your Best' is a must 'read.' It provides essential information on the impact your own Mood Elevator has on your individual life, your family and friends, and the culture of your organization."
"The book is brilliant! Growing up, the book that influenced me perhaps more than any was Napoleon Hill's 'Think and Grow Rich'. This is really like the modern day version of think and grow rich ... the concept that our thinking"
"'Up the Mood Elevator' is a great book. Reading it and, more importantly, putting its wisdom and insights into daily practice, has had a profound effect on my life—both business and personal."
We all ride the Mood Elevator every day. Wouldn't it be great if we knew the right button to push to move toward the top of our personal mood elevator? Wouldn't it be useful if there were ways to make our visits to the lower levels of shorter duration and less intense?
This book reveals some profound principles, fascinating concepts and useful practical tools to help you better ride your own mood elevator. That in turn will help you improve your experience of life, enhance your results, build better relationships and create success with less stress.

Terra Madre—Salone del Gusto
October 25-29, 2012
Terra Madre—Salone del Gusto
October 25-29, 2012
by Margarita Ramirez, Slow Food Sonoma Valley
Attending Terra Madre—Salone del Gusto in Turino, Italy, will forever be a highlight of my travel experiences. I was one of five slow food members from Sonoma attending. I arrived in Turino nearly five weeks after leading two group tours throughout Tuscany and Umbria. After experiencing the generous hospitality of my Italian guides, chefs and artisans, and visiting biodynamic wineries, olive and cheese producers, nothing could have prepared me for the explosion of the biggest gastronomy and food event in the world. The conference honoring the peoples and foods from around the globe provided an even greater demonstration of passion and commitment to cultures and traditions existing in Italy and around the globe.
I participated in several workshops and learned first hand how harmonious integration of land, animals and people can produce food of the highest nutritional value. The hundreds of workshops offered from exploring the ABCs of coffee; to vertical tasting of wines from around the world; to experiencing a five-star menu of Chocolate, Oysters and Champagne (all sourced from slow food producers) gave us more than enough to feel grateful for the abundance of food sources. I sampled many foods I did not even know existed.
At the heart of the conference was education and none other than the founder, Carlo Petrini, who had the original vision for it all. His newest project, 1,000 gardens in Africa, engages young people of Africa and encourages them to be self-sufficient. It is an example of the responsibility we have to assist other countries toward food sustainability.
I will forever be grateful for attending Terra Madre and for the impact it has left in my heart and soul for the global mission of Slow Food and the work we all have ahead of us. Our job is to find the way in our fast world to live simply, enjoying one bite at a time. This is food for thought.

F30 2013 Wish List
I think we should start a Wish List for the 2013 F30 model since it will be available around June 2012. I will wait for the 2013 to do ED in the summer and to hope that BMW will change the following:
1. Change the Kidney Grill to not touch the headlights
2. Change the Navigation from a square "pop-up look" back to a Hump.
That's it for me
I think with time the new styling will grow on people and become less of a shock. I do agree that the Nav looks a little funky, but the front end looks pretty clean. The real test will be seeing it in person, and my only wish is that the 4 and 6 turbo engines will be devoid of the fuel pump issues.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I can't recall any BMW model where a major change was done that quickly. :dunno:
- Ventilated Seats
These are so nice on the Lexus, especailly here in Texas.
My last BMW was an E46. I passed on the last 3-series, couldn't stand the run flat tires. I have a TSX and it has been the most reliable car I've ever owned. But the F30 could bring me back to BMW. Maybe not the first production year but this could be my next car.
add a diesel option and alter the location of the front hood seam- incorporate the grill with the hood :thumbup:
How about a DCT transmission on the M model?
An X-Drive touring model with the N55 engine.
Would be nice if they upgraded from 1 wheel drive on any car under $65k.
Thermal Camera with alerts...Like the new A6. The security of seeing deer or foxes as soon as possible is something I'd spring for.

I saw the all-new 1-Series in Germany (2012 MY in Europe) and it also has the 'floating' nav screen. This is a brand-new design direction so I doubt they're planning to change it any time soon.
I would like:
1. The "rest" feature brought back, which heats the car for 15 minutes after turning the ignition off
2. For the coupe to have rear windows that slight pop-out for more air (like the e46)
3. Less sensitive rain-sensing windshield wipers
4. Comfort Access that automatically locks the car when walking away, and unlocks when approaching
Premium package shouldn't be required for xenons. I find it hard enough to justify paying $900 for them, let alone $4500!
Why can't BMW just go back to simple engineering? M54 engine, simple engineering compared to N52/54/55 motors. Where is the option for idrive delete? Damn aluminum suspension tension rods and other aluminum suspension components, go back to something that doesn't require replacements every 100k miles or make it out of titanium if you want the lightest and smallest suspension components, or at least make them beefier/bigger out of aluminum so they last longer. Electronic water pump? I'd rather have a mechanical belt driven water pump, so what if I get 1mpg less, won't mean spending $600 for a new water pump when it goes bad. What happened to the door mounted hvac vents like the E34/E39, go back to that design. The car was designed for smokers in mind, door mounted hvac vents is brilliant where you can have the windows slightly open with the heat on full blast while driving in cold weather and your hands would be kept warm by those door vents. What happened to only using forced induction on diesels? What happened to manual only on M cars, and only naturally aspirated high revving motors? I don't want the whole front fascia of my car to be one cheap plastic piece (thanks BANGLE) same with the rear of my car, I prefer having a real bumper on both sides of my car along with a grille integrated into the hood, not the cheap grille front fascia crap.
Also thanks for cutting costs on a seal for my torque converter guaranteeing it goes bad, yes we know BMW's should only be manual, and how much you used to hate automatics (ironic that most automatic BMW's were for American market during pre-Bangle/idrive era). Complete 180 from the BMW I used to know, who hated automatics, didn't care about stuffing all sorts of technology into their cars like Mercedes or Lexus/Acura, didn't care that their cars were too small for American tastes, didn't care that Americans who couldn't drive a stick didn't buy their M cars because they weren't the types of drivers meant for an M car or a real BMW anyway.
Remove red stitching from sport line and make gloss black trim (without red line) available. Or else allow customers to create their threading and color strip based on a few more colors such as imperial blue, alpine white, etc. Im sure this would be cost prohibitive.
Include Xenons with Premium package and not an extra $900 on top of it. Or just include Xenons, period.
Inlude Enhanced bluetooth and BMW assist as standard. People do not realize that they cannot get bluetooth audio unless they order "enhanced bluetooth".
Customers in germany have a program called BMW individual where they can pikn literally anything from stitching to 2 tone exterior paint

As far as gassers go, whats not to like about better power and economy that are available with turbocharged vehicles? It appears that all automakers who are concerned about both aspects have turned to turbocharging. This indicates that they've gone as far as they can with injection systems and variable valve timing. Turbocharging is the most practical means available to them for mass produced vehicles.
My only personal experience is with turbodiesels, but i can tell you that oil consumption is not an issue. I have multiple cars with 200-300K mi on them with original turbos. Longevity is not an issue if you use the right oil and some common sense. Yes, they use 'more fuel' when driving agressively, but this just means that the power is there when you need it, so they are saving you fuel when you drive 'normally'.
Try a modern turbocharged vehicle- you won't be disappointed ;)
Plus a VW with a iron engine block is going to have a higher longevity rate then a aluminum block motor would, especially when driven hard all the time.
Turbo gasoline engines otoh won't be over-engineered like a turbo diesel, except a 2JZ, GTR engine or that 2.5TFSI from Audi.

Monongahela couple to stand trial on drug charges
A Monongahela couple appeared in court Thursday on drug and child endangerment charges.
Jeffrey M. Miller, 32, and Kellie Ann Higgins, 24, of 449 Francis Ave., waived their rights to preliminary hearings before Monongahela Magisterial District Judge Mark Wilson.
The two were arrested Jan. 29 after Monongahela police were called to assist a state parole officer who was there to check on Miller. Miller is currently on parole on drug charges stemming from 2008 and 2009. He was sentenced to 15 to 30 months in a state prison in November 2010 after violating probation.
When police arrived at their residence, they allegedly observed drug paraphernalia, including needles, empty stamp bags, Oxycontin pills, and a white powder substance. A young child was also in the house.
Both Miller and Higgins are charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia, endangering the welfare of a child, and recklessly endangering another person. Police said Washington County Children and Youth Services was contacted.
They are both still in the Washington County Correctional Facility. Wilson previously set bond for each at $25,000 cash.

How to advertise on this page
Although pitched battles were rare in Kansas during the war, the state saw more than its share of guerilla raids — many resulting in the loss of dozens or hundreds of lives. Most notorious was the raid on Lawrence by pro-Southern guerrilla William Quantrill Aug. 21, 1863. Quantrill's men massacred more than 150 men and boys before leaving Lawrence in ruins. For more about the town's Civil War history, see Bleeding Kansas. The war in Missouri spilled over into Kansas in October 1864 at the battle of Mine Creek.
Mine Creek Battlefield State Historic Site
20485 Kansas Highway 52, Pleasanton KS 66075-9549
Road map
One of the largest and most dramatic cavalry charges of the war occurred on the banks of Mine Creek Oct. 25, 1864, when Union forces caught up with Confederate Gen. Sterling Price's army as it was retreating after a raid into Missouri. About 2,500 Union cavalry attacked about 7,000 of Price's men, routing them after hand-to-hand fighting. After the battle, Price limped back into Missouri and was beaten again at Newtonia a few days later. Mine Creek was the last pitched battle west of the Mississippi River.
A visitor center with exhibits on the battle and Price's Raid gets visitors started. Walking trails with interpretive signage lead to significant areas of the battlefield.
OpenWednesday–Sunday 10 am–5 pm (April–August), Friday and Saturday only September–October. $5/adult.

740 East Ave, Baxter Springs KS 66713
Road map
Exhibits and a film highlight the Civil War activity in the area including the Oct. 6, 1863, attack by William Quantrill's Confederate guerrillas on Fort Blair here. Defenders repulsed the attack before Quantrill attacked and nearly wiped out (or massacred) soldiers guarding a Union supply train a few miles away. The victims are buried in a national cemetery plot near town.
A 16-stop Civil War driving tour map of the area including the restored fort and the massacre site is available at the museum.
Open Tuesday-Saturday 10 am-4:30 pm, Sunday 1-4 pm. Free.
Fort Scott National Historic Site
Fort Scott KS 66701
Road map
After abandoning this frontier outpost in 1853, the U.S. Army re-occupied it in August 1861. The fort soon became the Union strongpoint south of Fort Leavenworth and an important quartermaster post. Soldiers of all sorts passed through, were stationed or camped at Fort Scott during the war including United States Colored Infantry and Home Guards made up of displaced Indians. Capture of the fort was a dream of Confederate Gen. Sterling Price, but he never was able to manage it. Troops here were called upon to deal with the almost constant guerrilla activity in the area. Introductory video and exhibits in the historic buildings include the Bleeding Kansas and Civil War stories.
Open daily 8 am–5 pm April–October. Opens one hour later other times. Free.

People who have Alzheimer's disease lose their memory, as well as their ability to communicate clearly and to care for themselves. The degenerative process is painful to watch. But one thing that stays with these individuals is the ability to enjoy music—especially music from meaningful periods in their life. And Unity Hospice of Greater St. Louis is capitalizing on that knowledge by helping Alzheimer's patients and their loved ones experience meaningful moments.
The hospice recently introduced Music & Memory, a nonprofit program that trains care-givers to "create and provide personalized playlists using iPods and related digital audio systems that enable those struggling with Alzheimer's, dementia and other cognitive and physical challenges to reconnect with the world through music-triggered memories."
Brenda McGarvey, volunteer coordinator for Unity Hospice, was instrumental in bringing the program to St. Louis after seeing how music stirred her own father in the final stages of Alzheimer's disease. "When my father was sliding down the Alzheimer's rabbit hole, we began playing songs for him that he had loved earlier in his life. I played the music my parents heard when they were dating, and my dad would nod and clap his hands," she says. "I could reach down that rabbit hole, grab him and create a meaningful moment."
Those 'meaningful moments' are the goal for hospice workers and caregivers. As dementia tightens its grip, people increasingly live in the present, unable to visit the past or accurately imagine the future. Meaningful moments begin to replace the ability to reminisce or talk about future plans.
Through Music & Memory, hospice staffers are trained to create personalized playlists for clients using iPod shuffles donated by family or other organizations. "The program is individualized for the client," McGarvey says. "A typical session would be with a nurse, certified nurse assistant or volunteer and would last the length of their visit, which can last an hour or an afternoon."
Although scientific studies have documented positive results when dementia patients are exposed to their favorite music, seeing is believing, and McGarvey has seen clients deep in the depths of dementia brighten up and respond to music in a way they can no longer respond to conversation. "We walk away knowing that we have created a happy moment for them, and isn't that what it's all about?" she asks. Clients also seem less stressed, agitated and resistant to care.
McGarvey recommends that families talk with aging loves ones about their favorite music and begin creating playlists for those recently diagnosed with dementia. "We want to talk to them while they're still able so we know what they love to listen to," she says. "Then we can play the music at any stage along the way."

Target: Prime Minister Hisham Mohamed Qandil of Egypt
Goal: Regulate bird hunting in Egypt in order to preserve populations of migratory birds.
Some communities hunt migratory birds for sustenance and to partake in an ancient recreational tradition. At one time traditional methods, including traps made of plant fibers, handmade nets, and limited transportation via foot or camel, may have been sustainable. New technology like powerful firearms and vehicles that expose hunters to more bird habitat than previously possible have increased the harvest of migratory birds to the extent of decimating their populations. Large-scale hunters selling their harvests for profit use trammel nets hung from trees to capture large numbers of migrating birds flying from across the Mediterranean. This method captures flying species that are not targeted, such as bats and very small songbirds that do not provide more than a bite of meat.
The convergence of political turmoil, poverty, and various environmental conditions including pollution and desertification exacerbate the overhunting of birds in Egypt. In order for a country to conserve its natural resources, it needs strong legal infrastructure to enforce environmental laws and to prioritize conservation issues. Unfortunately, some parties view environmental conservation as secondary to immediate economic relief, unwisely ignoring the potential to generate income from both non-consumptive activities like ecotourism and the sustainable consumptive practice of regulated hunting.
In addition to implementing laws to regulate bird hunting, the government should also encourage wide cooperation by placing power in the hands of members of the community including hunters. Hunters can work with rangers and conservationists to manage populations by performing bird surveys and sharing their specialized knowledge on species behavior and abundance. Engaging the community with education outreach and providing alternative ways to make a living and take authority in managing their resources will increase the likelihood of successfully saving bird populations from overhunting.
Protect migratory birds in Egypt from indiscriminate unregulated hunting practices by signing this petition.
Dear Prime Minister Hisham Mohamed Qandil of Egypt,
Migratory birds, many of which are listed as globally threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List, and people of Egypt who benefit from shared stewardship over these culturally important animals are in desperate need of a system to regulate hunting activity. I urge Egypt's government to implement laws that will protect migratory birds from overhunting and encourage the success of tenable conservation plans by empowering the community to participate in monitoring species and amounts hunted.
Currently millions of birds are trapped and slaughtered in Egypt each year. Enforcing laws that require sustainable hunting practices will secure populations of birds to be enjoyed by future generations for a variety of income generating, educational, and recreational purposes that can improve the lives of the people of Egypt. Please protect the wellbeing of your nation's community by prioritizing the conservation of their natural resources.

A stroke can alter two people's lives in an instant. For the person who has had a stroke, simple tasks suddenly become difficult or impossible. For that person's partner, life seems to revolve mostly around the stroke survivor's needs. Such a drastic change naturally requires making many, sometimes taxing, adjustments. In this book, two experts in stroke recovery help couples deal with the impact of stroke on their lives and their relationship.
Drs. Sara and Jeffrey Palmer explain how to overcome three major challenges:
- providing quality care for your partner- maintaining or rebuilding your relationship- caring for yourself as an individual
The book invites you into the lives of real couples who are themselves coping with these challenges. Their experiences model how you can improve essential aspects of your relationship, including communication, roles and responsibilities, and sexuality. A list of practical tips summarizes each chapter, providing a handy reference guide to meeting each day's challenges.
More than just a discussion of the medical and practical aspects of stroke and stroke recovery, this book focuses on the emotional, psychological, and social consequences of stroke and the deeply personal side of caregiving. "When Your Spouse Has a Stroke" will relieve your burden and strengthen your partnership.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am up to date with shots and good with cats.
Katniss is an adorable gray and white little kitten that is looking for her forever home! She was born in March 2012. This cute girl has a gray coat with white boots, and striking emerald eyes. She loves chasing her brother Peeta, playing with drinking straws, and snuggling up next to your legs. She is very adventurous, very independent, and very feisty! She isn't big on being handled, but prefers to lay next to you. She is not overly affectionate, but she is friendly- she needs someone to help her to continue coming out of her shell, as she has been moved around a lot and needs security.
Katniss would do best in a home where she is an only cat or has one other cat in the home. We recommend adopting kittens in pairs if there are no other friendly cats in the home. A playmate provides important socialization and stimulation, especially for people who work all day and can't be home with their kitten. Kittens bond to one another and play in a way humans can't. Adoption fee is $125 for one kitten, or $225 for two, and includes deworming, up to date vaccinations, FeLV/FIV testing of each litter, and spay or neuter. If interested in giving Katniss her forever home, please email Jackie at firstname.lastname@example.com for an application
Katniss URGENT! FOSTER NEEDED, a San Diego Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in San Diego, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in San Diego.
