Triumph of hope over experience: learning from interventions to reduce avoidable hospital admissions identified through an Academic Health and Social Care Network
Internationally health services are facing increasing demands due to new and more expensive health technologies and treatments, coupled with the needs of an ageing population. Reducing avoidable use of expensive secondary care services, especially high cost admissions where no procedure is carried out, has become a focus for the commissioners of healthcare.
We set out to identify, evaluate and share learning about interventions to reduce avoidable hospital admission across a regional Academic Health and Social Care Network (AHSN). We conducted a service evaluation identifying initiatives that had taken place across the AHSN. This comprised a literature review, case studies, and two workshops.
We identified three types of intervention: pre-hospital; within the emergency department (ED); and post-admission evaluation of appropriateness. Pre-hospital interventions included the use of predictive modelling tools (PARR – Patients at risk of readmission and ACG – Adjusted Clinical Groups) sometimes supported by community matrons or virtual wards. GP-advisers and outreach nurses were employed within the ED. The principal post-hoc interventions were the audit of records in primary care or the application of the Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol (AEP) within the admission ward. Overall there was a shortage of independent evaluation and limited evidence that each intervention had an impact on rates of admission.
Despite the frequency and cost of emergency admission there has been little independent evaluation of interventions to reduce avoidable admission. Commissioners of healthcare should consider interventions at all stages of the admission pathway, including regular audit, to ensure admission thresholds don't change.
Internationally there is growth in hospital use, including unscheduled admissions and this places a cost-burden on health services

Many non-elective admissions have been dubbed 'avoidable', 'inappropriate' or 'unnecessary,'
Given the 15 % rise in emergency admissions across the UK over the previous three years and marked rates of increase within the local NHS regions (South East Coast 25 % and London 5 % (Figure
Our investigation had three elements: literature review, case study presentations, and two workshops. We used the AHSN as a vehicle for sharing learning and current best practice. We invited people involved in initiatives to reduce unplanned admissions to join this aspect of the Health Outcomes group's work
We identified interventions at all stages of the care pathway, putting them in one of three categories: those within the Emergency Department (ED) itself
Literature review
We carried out a literature review using Medline using the following search string: "(avoidable OR unnecessary OR inappropriate OR unplanned OR unscheduled OR non-elective) AND (hospital OR accident and emergency OR emergency department) AND admission". We applied MeSH terms "Hospitalisation", "Health Services Misuse", "Home Care Services, Hospital based," and "Outcome and Process Assessment (Health Care)".
In addition we searched for specific interventions as keywords: "PARR OR Patients At Risk of Readmission OR Combined Model"; "ACG OR Adjusted Clinical Groups"; "Predictive Modelling"; "Community Matron"; "Virtual Ward"; "Consultant GP"; "In-reach Nurse OR In-reach Team"; "AEP OR Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol".
Data collection
We identified and systematically collected data from schemes introduced to control the rise in inappropriate acute admissions across the AHSN. We used a snowball sampling method asking all respondents to identify any local initiatives they were aware of. We invited those we identified to attend a workshop and describe: (1) The patient group their service was designed to target; (2) The setting of the service; (3) The intervention that the service provided; (4) Any actual or intended outcome measure; and (5) Any other key contextual information.
Workshop and presentations
The half-day workshops took place in southwest London on 14th January and 20th May 2011. Presenters were asked to provide evaluative data about the use or proposed use of interventions in a standard format: we supplied a template using the five headers listed above. 16 people attended the first, which described seven case studies; and 14 people attended the second, which summarised the findings since the previous meeting and develop a consensus about what interventions might work best and next steps.
Identifying outcome data: change in local hospital admission rates
We explored whether we could aggregate the data from the studies and investigated whether the interventions reduced hospital admission or ED attendance rates.
Ethical considerations
As a service evaluation this study did not require full research ethics approval
Classification of the type of interventions presented at the workshop
We identified seven interventions (Table
Figure 2

Interventions to reduce avoidable hospital admissions showing interactions between interventions and different stages of the admission pathway.
Pre-emergency department admission interventions: (1) Predictive-modelling tools
Two predictive tools were presented that use routine health data: (1) Patients at Risk of Readmission (PARR) and later developments of this tool; and (2) Adjusted Clinical Groups-Predictive Model (ACG-PM). Both can combine data confidentially to create a '12-month risk of hospitalisation' for all patients; although the models have different degrees of sophistication with the ACG-PM having a greater emphasis on co-morbidities. They are used to target interventions, such as community-based case-management, at high-intensity users who consume a disproportionate amount of services. Both have proved easy to integrate and are widely used in practice, with PARR freely available and used by many UK family practices. The ACG-PM is used extensively in the USA but now being made available to UK family practices. They have been extensively validated
Pre-emergency department admission interventions: (2) Case management
Two clinical teams were discussed that function 'upstream' in primary care, and which case-manage high-risk patients: community matrons, who are specially trained nurses, and virtual wards, which are multidisciplinary teams including the same professions as found on an inpatient ward
Interventions within the emergency department: In-reach nurse and "Consultant GP"
Two clinical teams have been introduced in the ED with the goal of facilitating discharge for those patients amenable to non-hospital mangement
Post-admission intervention: Notes audit and Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol (AEP)
The third type of intervention was audit, and the use an audit tool called the Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol (AEP). The former involved the audit of cases where no procedure was carried out; and were admitted less than three days. (i.e. An admission to hospital where no surgical or other procedure is performed.) The rationale is that people who have not any procedure carried out are people who could potentially have been managed in the community. Many people appeared to be admitted for "zero-days" – purely because they were in the ED for over 4-hours, and technically became an admission at that point. The AEP is a type of 'Utilisation review' that assesses the appropriateness of acute admissions by retrospective note review across 27 set criteria in order to guide commissioning and operational improvement. This widely validated tool
Comparing evaluation findings with changes in emergency department admissions in primary hospitals local to the intervention
The evaluation data presented were both qualitative (involving questionnaires) and quantitative (involving cohort studies), only sometimes commenting on the efficacy of the intervention to reduce avoidable admissions. We looked to see if there was any indication that the intervention reduced admission rates, or rate of increase in the ED closest to the intervention or if there were any way of aggregating the data from the interventions (Figure

St George's =1, Medway =2, Royal Surrey County Hospital (RSCH) = 3 and Mayday Hospital = 4. Data collected from the Department of Health QMAE dataset
Learning from the workshop
The principal lessons from the workshop were how many of the interventions were commissioned by a small number of people driven by the imperative that "something must be done". Few underwent any evaluative scrutiny, though all were approved through the local NHS governance process, board and/or received local health service director level approval. Many of the presenters described projects they were personally involved in covering areas where they worked. They did not consider bias and did not report that their evaluation might lack objectivity. Only two had considered independent evaluation; and one evaluation was currently underway
The method and scale of evaluations reported varied: five described completed local studies across three main hospital areas; one described a large-scale US study using the same intervention, and one presented multiple background studies from outside the region.
The intervention in all but one locality acted at a single point on the pathway. The one that considered intervening in more than one stage in the pathway combined the use of an in-reach nurse with feedback of data to practices on comparative rates of admission. However, no data were presented about feedback of data.
The presenters came from a wider range of backgrounds and may have only been employed or contracted to the NHS to work on a particular intervention. They included members of private as well NHS healthcare services, self-employed and directly employed clinicians and non-clinicians.
Post workshop discussion
Between and after the workshops there was some sharing of additional data and research findings. No real consensus emerged other than an unchallenged view that audit was the preferred change mechanism for primary care; and strong views from some individuals that introducing an independent evaluative culture was needed.
Principal findings
Many of the individual projects claimed success, yet in aggregate they have failed to halt or slow the rise in ED admissions (Figure
Implications of the findings
Well-meaning interventions are ineffective at a macro level- whether because the relentless rise in admission is too great; the interventions are not sufficiently powerful in isolation, or they are not being used to their full potential. All three are probably contributory.
We need an objective and possibly independently run evaluative protocol including standardised outcome measures more accurately to appraise the effectiveness of different initiatives, enabling the most successful to be identified. They should consider including patient experience. Only one of the studies identified reported patient experience as an outcome measure.
A more integrated "system-based" approach with better teamwork may create improved results; through combined strength and insight into the various interactions initiatives have at different stages of the care pathway.
Comparison with literature
The increase in ED attendance and non-elective admission is an international problem
The use of geriatricians and more senior doctors in the ED has been proposed as yet another mechanism for reducing unnecessary admissions; again these appear to be largely observational studies performed outside of the UK
There have been previous attempts to evaluate the use of interventions to prevent avoidable hospital admissions
We found little use of strategies aimed at reducing readmission, beyond the use of risk scores. Reducing readmission is important internationally, and interventions targeted at this part of the care pathway could have an important effect on admission rates
Multiple individual interventions may improve outcomes. An integrated-care pilot performed in Torbay
The Department of Health has recently announced it will not be funding an upgrade of PARR or the Combined Predictive Model encouraging local NHS organisations to "either upgrade [PARR and the Combined Predictive Model] themselves or move to an alternative model"
Limitations of the method
Case studies were selected from a convenience sample of volunteer attendees at the AHSN. There is a risk of a bias towards the presentation of successful interventions. Case studies were often unpublished, neither peer-reviewed nor independently evaluated. The case studies were of small-scale interventions, incomplete and yet reported some level of success.
Call for further research
In spite of the limitations, this approach offers an opportunity to bring together an appropriately wide range of healthcare professionals and stakeholders to report current practice. Creating a standard data set embedded into routine practice would provide data and improve our ability to evaluate current interventions.
This report from an AHSN identified a number of interventions across all stages of the emergency care pathway. A breadth of evidence was presented that illustrated the value of the AHSN for a forum for sharing interventions and for innovators to meet.
However, lack of a fixed evaluative framework meant we were unable fully to compare and contrast the interventions. NHS funds might be better directed to more cost-effective community interventions than to resourcing the apparently ever-rising rate of emergency admissions. Initiatives to combat the latter have, thus far proved ineffective at the macro-level. Methods are more likely to involve co-ordination and possibly integration of services, but only after they have been systematically and independently evaluated. Without mandatory critical appraisal and evaluation of new interventions we will continue to see them introduced more in hope than expectation of success.

"Dr. Lewis called for refocusing education away from high-stakes testing because of the distorted incentives it introduces for teachers. 'When you add in performance pay and your evaluation could possibly be predicated on how well your kids do testing-wise, it's just an enormous amount of pressure,' he said."
Yes, it's called accountability. Teachers who cheat.


text:
Once your schools account has been initially set up, an admin can upload a file for adding/modifying/deleting students.
The file can contain any combination of student information. In other words, the file could contain just students that need to be deleted from the application. Or it could simply contain new students. It's possible that it contain every student in your application.
Validation Checks
There are several validation checks that are performed before the data is imported.
Basic File Layout
The field headers and data types are checked. If any of these checks fail, then the process stops and a message details the errors.
For example, the file has FirstName and LastName fields. If these fields are missing or misspelled, then the import process will stop and error messages will be displayed.
Invalid Staff Ids
If any of the staff ids listed in the file don't match existing staff members, error messages will be displayed, listing the staff Ids that don't match. The import process will stop at that point.
Invalid Student Data
Student Ids must be unique within the school. If there are duplicates in the file, error messages will be displayed and the import process will stop.
Email Addresses must be unique. If there are duplicates in the file, or if the email address is assigned to another student in the application, error messages will be displayed and the import process will stop.
File Format
The file format is similar to what's described in the initial import file. However, there are two additional fields added to the end of the file:
IsActive: this is a boolean field - true/false. If this value is false, the student will be marked as inactive. Otherwise the record will be marked as active.
DeleteRecord: this is a boolean field - true/false. If this value is true, the student record will be removed from the application, along with any appointment requests and appointments associated with the student.
Deleting Students
As mentioned above, any record marked as true in the DeleteRecord column will be deleted. This transaction CANNOT be reversed.
Modifying Existing Student(s)
The file provided will have a Student Id field for each student. If the student Id matches a record for your school, then the student matches. The values in the file provided will be used for the existing record.
Staff Has Changed
If the staff has changed, then any future homeroom appointments will be automatically moved.
For example, Joe Smith is a student who is currently assigned to Mr. Clark. Every Monday, Joe is scheduled into Mr. Clark's homeroom.
In the file, Joe has been moved to Ms. Wayne's homeroom. All future Mondays, Joe's homeroom appointments will be moved to Ms. Wayne's homeroom class. This is not configurable and cannot be prevented.
Adding New Student(s)
If the Student Id associated with the student does not exist in the application, then this will be treated as a new record. The student will be added to the application. If a password has been provided, it will be used, otherwise, a randomly generated password will be used.
Many schools used our prebooking feature when they initially uploaded data. When a student file is uploaded, any students that are new, will be prebooked into their homerooms, for any days that were prebooked when the schools data was initially imported.

Discussion in 'Members Zone' started by Yeagermeister, Sep 1, 2006.
You just said ten seconds ago that you'd never been there.
I am not in love with the way this site is run, but I'm not gonna cut off my nose to spite my face either.
You guys are here to stay (until operation terminal is complete) and I am not just gonna hide.
I'll drop in from time to time so that by and large I can bypass the things that annoy me and that I laugh at.
What exactly does that mean????
Please knock off the personal insults....that goes for everybody.
As far as people coming here to troll...how about just staying where you feel comfy or if you want to stay here... stop trolling.
It was a joke....
..... or was it?
Thanks for clearing that up.
I didn't insult anyone with that post. I just made it known that I'm racist against morons. Even if you are a moron, it wasn't an insult. They just now know I don't like them.
But thanks for wasting my time, Susanna.
I am just really tired of people who use the word racist in anything, because I really hate racists. People who think it's funny are some of the lowest form of life.
*off soapbox now*
It's got plenty of color on it... under the 15 coats of primer.
Actually, I'll be getting my title soon so I'll get to do some work on it soon. Probably wait till it cools off some though. It's been over 105 here (not counting the heat index) every day now for over a week.
I voted
I think they just got an education on cowboy forums.
Personally I just got tired of reading "feh" and "ayuh" every other post so I switched (found) CZ. I've also noticed a sort of herd mentality at DCC. In the end I come here most because there's simply more information and more people posting at any given time. Having a conversation on DCC is sooooo slow. You post and then maybe an hour later someone will reply. The downside of more traffic of course is you have some ridiculous posts (i.e., "dog whisper"), but the positive clearly outweigh the negatives for me.
Wow. Looks like I was banned from DCC. What the heck?
Well, you did just take a shot at them 14 minutes ago. What did you expect? :laugh2:
I didn't expect them to act like babies -- particularly after someone from there was complaining about the mods here being too trigger-happy. I was just voicing an opinion.
Well, it doesn't look like they wanted to hear it. Gotta wonder how they heard about it so fast.
BTW, that is just one of the reasons why this site rocks. They didn't ban anyone who was promoting the other sites.
Trigger finger got itchy a couple times, though...
But mainly, I look at it like that site is run a certain way...and in some cases it goes against the vibe that the Zone tries to promote. From what I understand it's alot edgier than this one...And maybe when posters from there come here, it's like going to the Twilight Zone versus the Cowboys Zone. (I like how I worked that in...) It can cause problems, cuz it disrupts what we're trying to do here.
This is not to say folks from other boards aren't welcome here, just respect the guidelines as they're written. Just as I would expect any loyal Zone members to respect any other sites they visit.
I was a member of that site before I was here. I came here because I got a MUCH DESERVED ban and needed someplace to get Boys info and talk. Eventually I rectified my situation there and have an account, though I only use it every once in a while.
Both sites are completely different. I follow different guidelines at each site.
I like them both, actually. I owe a huge debt to DCC for rescuing me from ESPN.com forums. I like SBK and EZ quite a bit, though I haven't talked to them in a while. I am glad they are getting recognition. For my money, that and this are the top two sites.
That being said, my home is here now. I have a niche and a place that I like, and it is something I can do. Sometimes I miss the way it was there, but I get over it. If I had time to be a two board guy, I would spend more time posting there, I just can't.
Anyway - my whole point is that grats to them, I'm happy for them. I don't think the two boards are very comparable - like you said, they have two different goals. Therefore, I don't really see this as a competition.

How much does water cost?
How much does water cost?
Is water expensive?
It is expensive to build infrastructure, like water treatment plants and pipes, but they transport and treat millions of gallons of water per day. For the consumer, water is a great bargain! For the price of one bottle of name brand drinking water, you could fill that same bottle every day for about 13 years with tap water. What a deal!
How does water compare to other beverages?
We put thousands of gallons of water on our lawns (and sometimes waste water by letting it fall on driveways and sidewalks), but we certainly wouldn't do that with other beverages.
The cost of 10 gallons of liquid -
Water $ .05
Soda $25.00
Milk $22.20
Juice $20.00
Iced Tea $13.00
Fruit Drink $11.00

|Nevada Death Chamber
The state Board of Examiners voted Tuesday to approve a $94,000 contract with the architectural firm Kittrell, Garlock and Associates.
The funds will go toward remodeling a courtroom area and part of the visitation area to accommodate executions.
Nevada lawmakers approved $860,000 this spring for a new execution chamber.
The state's existing death chamber at the shuttered Nevada State Prison in Carson City is not in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act, and state officials have said for about 4 years that they wouldn't be able to carry out capital punishment there.
Executions remain rare in Nevada, which has only carried out the death penalty 12 times since 1977.

Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones was walking alone at night
The strap broke and Mrs. Jones grabbed Roger and wouldn't let him go
Mrs. Jones realizes that Roger doesn't know right from wrong
She dragged Roger down the sidewalk to her house
Mrs. Jones wants Roger to wash his face
Roger tries to struggle free, but is dragged into Mrs. Jones' home
There were other people in the large house
She turns Roger loose to go to the sink and wash his face
Rising Action
Roger has the choice to run or stay
He looks at the door, then the sink, and back to the door
Roger decides to stay and learn a lesson
He washes his face
Roger states that there is no one at his house to take care of him
He confesses he wanted a pair of blue suede shoes, so he snatched her pocketbook
Falling Action
Roger learns that Mrs. Jones has made mistakes in her life too
She continues to take care of his needs like a mother would
Roger offers to go to the store for Mrs. Jones
He wants to earn her trust
They sit down to eat together at the table like a family would
Mrs. Jones knows that Roger has learned his lesson so she sets him free
She gives him money to buy the shoes
Roger learns that it is wrong to steal
He thanks Mrs. Jones and she shuts the door in his face
They never see each other again, but Roger will always remember the woman and the lesson he learned
Thank You Ma'm

Good. job.

University of Toledo says no to guns
Change in Ohio law on concealed carry will not affect UT's campus policy
January 10, 2017
Filed under News, Top Stories
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The Ohio State Senate recently passed House Bill 48, authorizing "concealed carry in vulnerable areas." According to the Ohio Legislature website, Bill 48 modifies the "prohibition against carrying a concealed handgun onto institutions of higher education, day-care facilities, aircraft, certain government facilities, public areas of airport terminals, and school safety zones."
Due to the passing of this bill, there is no longer a state law requiring colleges to restrict guns on campus. However, The University of Toledo will remain a concealed carry-free school.
An email sent out by President Sharon Gaber and Chief of Police and Director of Public Safety Jeff Newton stated that the school had no intention of changing their policy.
According to the UT deadly weapons restrictions policy, failure to abide by UT's prohibition of concealed carry could result in discharge from employment, expulsion from the university, criminal charges, and removal from UT property.
The policy also explains in depth that "possession of valid concealed weapon permit authorized by the state of Ohio is not an exemption under this policy. An individual who has a valid CCW permit when on university property must legally secure their firearm in a locked vehicle."
While nothing is necessarily changing on campus, some students feel conflicted by UT's policy.
"I am pretty double-sided about it. I'm a gun owner, so I feel that if a person went through the class to get a CCW, they should be able to conceal carry on campus," said John Heninger, third-year mechanical engineering student. "Also, it can potentially stop school shootings. However, I feel based on how society acts today, it would raise conflicts."
Heninger also pointed out that he has been at UT for three-and-a-half years and never once felt like there was a need to conceal carry on campus, though the potential "what if" is always present.
Jack Nachtrab, third-year finance major, agreed students with CCW should be able to bring a gun on campus.
"I feel that, as a state institution, they should follow the lead of the state of Ohio and reverse the ban," Nachtrab said.
However, the email sent by Gaber and Newton insisted that the university has no intentions of changing the current policy and will remain a concealed carry-free campus. The email also lamented that safety will continue to be a top priority at UT.

Will Rules Matter for Trump and Fans at GOP Convention?
Republicans ignoring the rule of law is part of what has Trump voters so upset in the first place.So I find it more than a little ironic that both Trump and his fans are threatening riots (figuratively, of course—wink) and Trumpertantrums if he fails to secure a majority of the delegates and is not made the nominee anyways.Trump and all candidates knew the rules going into this process: you must secure a majority of the delegates to get the nomination.At the current pace, none of … [Read more...]

Marco Rubio and Today's Leadership Test
After the voting results yesterday, it is abundantly clear, or at least it should be, that Marco Rubio has no path to a majority of delegates in the Republican primary.But that doesn't mean he does not have significant influence at this moment in the race. In fact, he may be the most influential player today. How he makes his next move will matter significantly for the future of our nation.Leadership can be a funny thing, often requiring us to take counterintuitive actions to keep m … [Read more...]
Georgia Governor Claims Jesus Wants Him to Oppose Religious Liberty
The Atlanta Journal Constitution actually used this headline to report Governor Nathan Deal's surrender of religious freedom in Georgia: Nathan Deal makes a forceful, biblical case against Georgia's 'religious liberty' bill If ever there was a snort-worthy headline, this is it.The truth is that what we are seeing in Georgia is crony capitalism at its worst—big business in bed with lovers of big government being pushed by special interests to trample the rights of the majority of citizen … [Read more...]
John Kasich Reverses His Attack on Religious Liberty
During the February 25 GOP debate, Governor Kasich made an alarming statement on religious liberty.He encouraged Americans to put commerce over conscience and to engage in what they believe to be sinful for the sake of the "greater good." His "conservative" position left much to be desired.In a recent blog post I took him to task for his attack on religious liberty.Kasick reversed his position in the March 3 Fox News debate.Essentially, he took the position I laid out in that pos … [Read more...]
Andy Stanley's Ridiculous Attack on Families and Churches
I like Andy Stanley. His writing and teaching have been a help to me over the years. But his recent attack on families and churches leaves me wondering if he hasn't drunk too much of his own mega-church Kool-aid.I've enjoyed Stanley's leadership sessions at Catalyst and elsewhere. Although we've never met, we have a number of mutual friends. He is the pastor of the largest church in America.But his recent slam on any church that isn't trying to be a mega-church and any family that isn't … [Read more...]

text: The Biggest Epilepsy Resource in Europe Epilepsy Action Development Hosting Support Ixis have worked with Epilepsy Action for over 5 years. We initially supported the community site www.forum4e.com (user forums and blogs) then successfully won the contract for the full site migration of www.epilepsy.org.uk to Drupal along with ongoing Hosting & Support. Key success points include: Migration – Migration of an existing 25,000 user base from a legacy database system to Drupal. A batch system had to be written to allow mass importing due to the large amount of user profile data. Hosting – High uptime and low latency has helped Epilepsy Action continue to grow with users returning often with no unplanned downtime in 5 years. Search engine optimisation – Care was taken to retain the old URL structure, and where it wasn't being used correct redirects were used to ensure the site continued to be indexed cleanly. Accessibility – Our design partner worked with Epilepsy Action's marketing department to ensure the brand guidelines were adhered to. Accessibility was extremely important with the site complying with W3C and Bobby standards. Additional factors also had to be considered at various stages throughout the development such as avoiding certain colour combinations which can cause people with photosensitive epilepsy to have seizures. Ixis are now a single point of contact to Epilepsy Action for any Drupal related issues. "We choose Ixis IT for supporting and hosting our online community in 2006. We were so impressed with their work, in 2008 we asked them to develop our main epilepsy information website (the most visited epilepsy website in Europe). They built bespoke Drupal modules for our needs. They provide stable and cost effective hosting for our site and their ongoing support is always reliable and speedy."

Daily 3-Bet: Leah > Colman, Positive Poker, I Dream of Galfond
The PokerListings Daily 3-Bet is a soothing voice, an undulating watch and visions of Phil Galfond in your variance-filled afternoon poker news siesta.
Got a tip for a future 3-Bet? Drop us a note in the comments and we'll gladly take a look.
Today in the 3-Bet we find Mike "GoLeafsGoEh" Leah making his own solid case for Player of the Year, Daniel Negreanu and Jared Tendler harness the power of positive thinking in poker and Dani Stern gets intimate with REM Phil Galfond.
1) Leah Having Good Year, Too
Some have made the case Ivey Poker pro Mike "GoLeafsGoEh" Leah than poker pinup of the moment Dan Colman.
We won't go quite that far. But the runner-up to Colman at the recent $10m Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open more than belongs in the dicussion for who's having the best year in tournament poker. Strong arguments for?
- 2 WSOP-C Rings in 24 hours
- 5 outright tourney wins
- 8 final tables
- 4 WSOP Cashes
- $1.58m in live earnings
Arguments against? Well, there's that $21m Colman's locked down in just six months.
The case is reasonable, though. And with lots of tournament poker left in the year anything can happen. Well, anything but winning $21m. But still.
Leah says he plans to take on a few more events than normal, fly first class to Australia for WSOP APAC and take a stab at BLUFF POY, which he still has a shot at, if things go well. Good piece on his great year so far here.
2) Can You Win in Poker With Positive Thinking?
We're slightly skeptical on this one as a guarantor of poker success but we do agree on one thing - you can definitely wreck your chances of having anything good happen to you with a perpetual strain of negativity.
Two of poker's foremost advocates for/authorities on positive thinking and how it can affect your poker game sat down for a confab this week.
Thankfully for us, they recorded it. Among the enlightening ground covered by Daniel Negreanu and Jared Tendler in their "Positive Poker" podcast:
- Lifelong learning and opening up to feedback
- Taking full responsibility for your life and what happens to you
- Not falling into a "victim's" mindeset (they're looking at you, Mike Matusow)
- How setting goals is crucial to poker success
Plenty more great stuff came up as well; head here to take a listen. Check Tendler's latest advice on improving your game and moving forward in poker right here on PokerListings.
3) Hey Guys, Phil Here. How's Your Dream Going?
We can't decide which part of this whole exchange is funniest but if you've ever found yourself caught in a dream state poker-feedback loop and/or watched any Phil Galfond training videos, this will sound familiar:
@TheRealAnsky may your dreams be filled with excellent board coverage.
â Phil Galfond (@PhilGalfond) September 12, 2014
@TheRealAnsky @PhilGalfond "Hey guys, Phil here. Tonight were going to talk about optimal sleeping positions on different pillow textures"
â Darryll Fish (@DarryllFish) September 11, 2014
@ProdigyXII @TheRealAnsky @PhilGalfond I've been running sims on his voice to figure out why it is so soothing and applying to my voice

Discussion in 'General Industry Discussions' started by cpllawncare, May 10, 2011.
Yes, we know.
how? iv never talked about gardening or advanced landscaping here?
The more knowledge one has the more they can instill confidence in their customers as they tell them the why and how work needs to be done.
The more knowledge one has the more diversified work and higher paying work can be gone after.
Been a Master Gardener in Arkansas (Faulkner Co) since 2005. I've know guys from the industry that go through the program and then quit the program. I'm the only one in my county that continued with the program and still work as a LCO. The program has helped me and we need to put in 20 working hours and 20 learning hours each year to maintain our "certification." Doesn't take that much time, but a lot of guys don't have the time if they are are going 40+ hrs per week, and I know many that work a lot more than that.
Here it requires 50 hour or longer training period and 75 hours of volunteer hours the first year. Then you are required 10 CEU and 35 working hours each year.
That is a lot of free hours - but assuming the knowledge you could take away would invaluable I would say it is fair. The only thing that stops me from doing it is lack of time and the fact that it is against the rules to advertise that you are a master gardener once becoming one. Without being able to use it for marketing purposes it really lowers the value of the program to me because honestly - 98% of homeowners here do not know the difference between a viburnum and say a goldmound ...they simply do not know so it is doubtful that you are going to impress them with any mass of knowledge, it is just for your own use.
Well said! My Mother was once a MG & not very knowledgeable either. (Sorry Mom!) Ask her a question & she'd grab some books and start looking for the answer. She tried to get me to sign up but I said no way. I gained my experience in the field working.
MG is very popular among the elderly folk, whom have plenty of time to volunteer at the extension office.
Master Gardeners do recieve a lot of notoriety among the laypeople... The club would be good for raising your profile, but in actual learning there are many more efficient and sensible ways to become a master at your craft, than volunteering to pull weeds at the city park...
The mention of 'organic' gardening is another point to consider... When a bad idea gets pushed into the club it becomes god-like truth, becuz it is PC(politically correct)...
Actual soil science, botany and horticulture studies is the way to go... and it all on the internet now...
I just figured out the best reason ever to becoming an MG.
Today we were working on a commercial property. Either anowner or just a patron comes out to talk to us.
It's a standard commercial bed, graded, fabric, plants and rive rock.
The lady states, "why are you doing this. River Rock is no good and isn't very attractive."
I tried to explain to here that it's a commercial property and this is what the client wanted, though I tried to talk them into mulch beds.
" Oh, by the way, I'm a MG, and the rock will leach lime into the soil."
Oh that's great I say, I took the course in 05' and it was a great experience. And, by the way, this is going to be washed river rock, not lime/white rock, there shouldn't be an PH issues from it.
Needless to say she pretty well went quite on me an didn't say much more.
lime from white rocks?
Limestone, hence Lime.
