The Pen Bay Healthcare Foundation builds relationships with individuals, businesses and foundations interested in helping Pen Bay provide the finest healthcare services to the people of Midcoast Maine.
The Foundation supports the charitable activities of Pen Bay Medical Center, the Knox Center for Long Term Care, Kno-Wal-Lin Home Care and Hospice, the Anderson Inn at Quarry Hill and Pen Bay Physicians & Associates.
As the community healthcare system serving Midcoast Maine, Pen Bay Healthcare has two key goals: to provide residents with the highest quality medical care available and to meet the medical needs of community members, regardless of their ability to pay.
In December 2014, the Pen Bay Healthcare Foundation completed a comprehensive campaign to support capital projects, program initiatives and growth of Pen Bay Healthcare's endowment. The Better Together Campaign, Pen Bay's largest ever fundraising campaign raised over $13.3 million in charitable contributions. Campaign projects were drawn from Pen Bay's strategic plan and focused on women and families, compassionate hospice care and high-quality, patient-centered care.
The Pen Bay Healthcare Foundation's Spring Donor Report details the great successes of the Better Together campaign and includes a list of all the donors who made the campaign possible.
Highlights from the campaign are outlined below.
Sussman House
The Sussman House, which opened in December 2014, is the first building at Pen Bay Healthcare to be funded entirely with privately donated gifts and grants. This beautiful seven-bed hospice facility is located on the Pen Bay Medical Center campus in Rockport is helping patients near the end of life, stay close to home, near family and friends.
Women & Family Health
Pen Bay Healthcare's Women & Family Health Program informs and educates women and their families about their health and healthcare choices. An early gift to the Better Together capital campaign established the Picker Family Resource Center, helping Pen Bay offer more outreach programs, support groups, health resources and educational opportunities. Participants have enjoyed classes on healthy cooking, physical fitness, cancer prevention and survivorship and new parenting skills. The Picker Center is home to the Lets Go! program that encourages healthy eating and exercise for our children and families.
Partnership Care
Pen Bay Healthcare is committed to creating a patient-centered culture of caring in every setting for every patient we serve. It is a collaborative model of care that improves patient safety, satisfaction and health outcomes. Within this framework, patients and their families are encouraged to take an active role in their health and the care they receive. Moving to this new model of care is an important undertaking and can be seen in the changes at our facilities—from renovations throughout the hospital to expanded hours for medical practices to Crucial Conversations training for all staff to targeted initiatives at Knox Center and Quarry Hill.
Partnership Care Projects include:
- Projects in Clinical Excellence. Clinical Excellence funding
- Creates physician-led projects that advance patient-centered, evidence-based care while enhancing physician retention and recruitment. Example, two projects are the development of Pen Bay Medical Center as a teaching site for Tufts University School of Medicine and pediatric screening tests for lead poisoning that use simple finger sticks in the office rather than phlebotomy in the lab.
- Underwrites clinical research at Pen Bay and
- Develops and promotes selected sub-specialties.
- Friends at Anderson Inn at Quarry Hill.
- Knox Center Blue Ribbon Fund.
For more information about the Campaign, please email Eleanor Willmann or call 207-921-6710.
You may designate your gift as unrestricted, to be used where the need is greatest, or choose to have it support patient care, education or other fundraising initiatives. As a special tribute, you may also further personalize your gift by making it in memory of or in honor of a person special to you.

The Pen Bay Annual Giving program includes a community and employee annual appeal, special fundraising events held throughout the year, grant requests and personal solicitations. All gifts are welcome, regardless of size. Each gift makes a difference.

- Laptop computers for use in-hospital by patients receiving cancer care at Pen Bay;
- Gas cards for those who need to drive to cancer treatments outside the Midcoast;
- Common Journey, a support group to meet the survivorship needs of women with cancer;
- Cancer Center Family Room, a space especially for those supporting a cancer patient;
- The Bob Gagnon Suite: three patient rooms and a solarium for patients and their families at Pen Bay for hospice and palliative care. Many of those in this suite are cancer patients.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
All-Games start at 7:30 p.m.
George Walton (10-1) at ELCA (11-0)
Series: George Walton leads 4-0.
Storylines: The Eagle's Landing Christian Chargers and the George Walton Bulldogs have played four times before. All the previous meetings were when the two teams still played in the Georgia Independent School Association (GISA). Eagle's Landing Christian left GISA for the Georgia High School Association in 2003, and has made the playoffs every year in GHSA. George Walton is in its first year of competition in the GHSA. The Bulldogs left GISA after winning the Class AAA title last season.
ELCA won the Region 5-A title this year with a wealth of offense.'
Four running backs have accounted for 2,599 yards. Keyante Green has 959 yards, John Tatum 827 yards, Avery Walls 415, and Alex Williams 398. The Chargers' defense has added four shutouts. At one stretch of the season, opponents didn't score on the Chargers for three-straight weeks. George Walton is riding a five-game winning streak.
Prediction: ELCA 35, George Walton 14
Glynn Academy (8-3) at Dutchtown (10-1)
Series: First meeting
Storylines: The Dutchtown Bulldogs have made lots of history this year, putting together the best season in school history. A week ago in the Bulldogs' first trip to the playoffs ever, they made a huge statement with a victory against long-time state power Thomas County Central. Senior kicker Ryan Kay booted five field goals for all of Dutchtown's points, including a 56-yard field goal en route to the win.
The Bulldogs' only loss this year was a 10-6 decision to Griffin.
Both Glynn Academy and Dutchtown are nearly carbon copies of each other with strong running games. Glynn Academy beat Lovejoy 7-6 when the Wildcats failed to convert an extra point.
The Terrors have won a state title, but that was 46 years ago, all the way back in 1964. Dutchtown head coach Jason Galt appears to have the Bulldogs headed in the right direction. In his fourth season, Galt is 24-17 with back-to-back winning seasons. A year ago, the Bulldogs went 7-3 and just missed the playoffs.
Prediction: Dutchtown 17, Glynn Academy 10

'Burial' as used in § 54.1‑2825 is not synonymous with funeral and must be construed narrowly as authorizing designee to make arrangements to dispose of decedent's remains. Section 54.1‑2807(B) charges funeral home with statutory duty to inquire about desires of next of kin, as defined by § 54.1‑2800, prior to accepting decedent's body. Directions of 'any next of kin' govern disposal of body. Nonhierarchical definition of next of kin includes any person designated pursuant to § 54.1‑2825.
|The Honorable Clarence E. "Bud" Philllips
Member, House of Delegates
Virginia Gas and Oil Board is authorized and, in fact, is mandated to issue compulsory pooling orders to deem that unleased interests are leased when gas owners fail to elect to participate in operation of well; such action is valid exercise of Commonwealth's police power, is in public's best interest, promotes common good, and does not constitute taking pursuant to Virginia Constitution. Gas and Oil Act is constitutional; Act and Board provide appropriate protection of due process rights of gas owners in context of compulsory pooling hearings and orders. There is no right to jury trial associated with administrative proceedings under compulsory pooling provisions of Act.

State admits 41,000 Floridians still aren't getting benefits they're owed
4 In Your Corner Investigation reveals ongoing tie-ups with unemployment checks
FLORIDA -- Fox 4 is still asking for evidence of the help that was promised to you by the state on January 18th.
Thousands of unemployed Floridians are due benefits that have been on hold because of problems with the state's new $63 million unemployment website.
Jessica Sims, press secretary for the state Department of Economic Opportunity, told Fox 4 that all the claimants who were to receive payment after the January 18th announcement, have been paid.
She said payment was promised to claimants who had continued claims on hold for more than seven days.
She says it was determined that 11,000 people fell into this category and it was further determined that of those, 4,900 were eligible.
Those individuals were paid last week, Sims said.
Still, 41,000 others have claims on hold that have yet to be paid.
Claims are placed on hold, or adjudication, when they've been flagged to determine eligibility.
"We are working down the active caseload and the system is improving every day," Sims said.
Sims did not have an estimate when the remaining 41,000 individuals will get paid.

Party Quinoa Salad
Summer is a fun time for cold grain salads. This one is great for taking to a picnic or summer get-together. It's colorful and tasty with a little crunch. Yogurt gives it a subtle creaminess and cranberries go great with the quinoa.
1 cup quinoa
1 ¾ cup water
¾ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup almonds, slivered & toasted
2 cups spinach leaves, chiffonade*
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup cucumbers cubed and peeled
1-15oz.can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
¼ cup low fat yogurt
½ cup red onion, chopped
6 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon minced garlic
- Rinse quinoa and place in pot with water. Heat on high in covered pot until boiling, then lower to a very low simmer (don't stir while it cooks.) Cook until water evaporates, about 15-20 minutes. Let sit for another 15 minutes and then fluff with fork and bring to room temperature.
- Mix all ingredients. Serve at room temperature or cold.
Serves: 4-6
Total cooking time: 35 minutes
*Chiffonade is a cooking technique in which herbs or leafy green vegetables (such as spinach and basil) are cut into long, thin strips. This is generally accomplished by stacking leaves, rolling them tightly, then cutting across the rolled leaves with a sharp knife, producing fine ribbons. (wikipedia.org)

Engraver beetles feasting on stressed pine trees
Polk County Enterprise - October 2009
Staff Reporter
LIVINGSTON — When it rains it pours, but when it doesn't the damage can be just as severe. Polk County experienced one of the worst droughts on record this summer and the shortage of water may have left many pine trees vulnerable to an attack by pine beetles. The tell-tale sign of an infestation is red pine needles, but by then the damage has been done and the beetle larvae have grown to adulthood and moved on to the next tree. This year's infestation was severe for local residents when compared to other years but fortunately the damage the little pests caused was spotty. Timber companies battle these bugs annually and have preventive measures in place to limit the damage it can do. "This year has been exceptionally bad," U.S. Forest Service District Forester Steven Cooke said.
"The ones that notice it, and are really concerned about it, have small acreage lots." The Southern Pine Beetle is most often the root of the problem but it caused no significant damage this year. Instead, its cousin the Ips Engraver Beetle was the main culprit, according to Cooke. The little critters, no bigger than a lowercase "i" on this page, attack a tree that has been weakened in some way, usually by a catastrophic natural event. "The only good thing is that it only attacks stressed out trees," Cooke said. "They can be stressed due to drought, or actual damage to that tree from the hurricane. Hurricane Ike stressed out a lot of trees. Even the high temperatures we saw at the end of August and September put stress on the trees and that timeframe coincides with the life-cycle of the Ips beetle and it compounds the problem.
Even though you don't see any physical signs on the tree it could still be stressed out." There were quite a few stressed trees this year, though, after the local forests were hit with a doublewhammy. With Hurricane Ike blowing through last September, followed by the significant drought the area experienced during the summer, many trees were suffering but remained standing and vulnerable to infestation. "They attack in numbers, thousands at once," Cooke said. "You'll notice a discoloration in the needles and within a week the whole tree may be red." By then it's too late to do anything but lament the loss of the tree. The beetles have laid their eggs, the eggs have matured to adulthood and the new crop of adult beetles have moved on to another tree to begin the cycle again.
"They're already gone by the time the tree is red and dead," Cooke said. But there are other signs of the infestation and if the tree can be removed before the larvae have matured, neighboring trees might be saved. The most obvious sign to look for is a red-colored sawdust around the base of the tree. Another sign is a reddish-white or yellowish-white pitch (resin) tube protruding from a piece of bark. The pitch tube will be on the bark itself as opposed to the crevice between two pieces of bark where sap typically runs. But in very dry weather there may be no pitch-tube at all, just the telltale reddish-colored sawdust in the bark crevices and around the base of the tree.
The reddish color in the pitchtube, and in the sawdust it ejects from the tree as it bores into it, is caused by a fungus on the beetle itself. Some experts believe the fungus may play a part in the death of the tree as well. Pine beetles will bore through the bark and create a gallery behind it where the larvae are stored. Each chamber will hold a larva until it grows to adulthood and escapes the tree in search of another. Young larvae will bore inwards toward the soft pulp, depositing fungus that damages the circulation of the tree. If an infestation is suspected it can be verified by pulling a piece of bark away. The gallery will be prominent and clearly visible. The galleries will most often be in the shape of a "Y" or an "H" with the various chambers branching off of the main tunnels. Dead branches are not an indicator of a beetle infestation, according to the Texas Forest Service website.
A tree may lose a branch from one year to the next but remain healthy. Preventing infestation The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension program recommends watering trees during times of drought to prevent an infestation. "If you have a few really nice pine trees in your yard it would be a good idea to water," Cooke said. Livingston resident Susan Tullos believes a lack of water in her yard was responsible for the loss of 33 pine trees, and counting, on her property. All she has to do is look to her neighbor's yard where a sprinkler system has been installed. That yard lost only one tree at the rear of the property, out of range of the sprinkler heads. "I think that's proof-positive that a well-watered yard could have prevented this." Tullos said. She and her husband Jerry had considered installing a sprinkler system in years past but opted against it as their property is partially in a designated wetland. Tullos said they will reconsider installing a sprinkler system. She said the cost to remove the dying trees is about the same as what it would cost for a sprinkler system for her yard but it would offer a peace of mind money cannot buy. At least some of the cost for removing the dying trees may be reclaimed on annual income taxes as a casualty-loss due to Hurricane Ike.
"There are special clauses in the law for trees and the damage caused by hurricanes," CPA Loretta Black said. "They need to check with their CPA or tax advisor because there are ways it can be deducted." "There are also special tax deductions allowed in cases of droughts," Black said. "As long as it has been formally declared." Other areas in the nation: Colorado and its neighboring states are battling one of the worst infestations of Mountain Pine Beetle on record. Experts expect nearly all of the state's Lodgepole Pine trees over five inches in diameter will succumb to the onslaught of the Mountain Pine Beetle. One of the contributing factors is the age of the trees. Nearly all of the trees are roughly the same age at 80 to 90 years, according to the U.S. Forest Service website. As a preventive measure the forest service in Colorado will initiate an effort to stagger the ages of the trees as they grow back so whole forests will not be susceptible in the future. East Texas foresters have long practiced ways to mitigate the effect of the Southern Pine Beetle and its wood-boring cousins. One method, selective harvesting, plucks a few of the trees from a stand while leaving many others to continue growing. Gone are the days of massive clear cutting and replanting.
By initiating a selective harvest, foresters use the remaining trees to regenerate the forest naturally and to offer protection from high winds as the young trees mature. The age disparity among the trees creates a healthier forest overall, according to information on the US Forest Service website. Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich Proclaimed April 17, 2008, to be Asian Longhorned Beetle Eradication Day when it was found an infestation of Asian Longhorned Beetles was responsible for the destruction of more than 1,500 trees in northeastern Illinois. The beetles had traveled all the way from China in the wood of several packing crates. The eradication efforts in Illinois were successful at containing the spread of those beetles, according to a U.S. Forest Service website. Current Situation Locally, the worst may be over for this year, but the county is not completely out of the woods yet. Infested trees continue to be found each day. "Right now we are starting to see the numbers of these beetle attacks die down," Cooke said.
"But they'll be back next year I'm sure." Although mother nature cannot be controlled, there are some things homeowners can do to mitigate unnecessary stress to trees. • Keep heavy equipment away from the base of a tree to prevent the dirt from being compacted • If you have a thick grove of young trees, thin them out so the remaining trees have room to spread their branches • Avoid chaining a dog to a tree as the chain can have a girdling effect that chokes the tree • Apply pesticides to the outside of the tree (May have to hire a professional for taller trees) For more information on the Ips Engraver Beetle and what can be done to prevent the spread, see the Texas Forest Service website: texasforestservice.tamu.edu.

Leadership Lessons from Yoga December 15 2010
If you'd wandered into one of my group coaching sessions after lunch yesterday, you would have seen 16 people stretching their hands toward the ceiling, taking three deep breaths in and out through their noses and bending from their waists and letting their heads hang loose for a minute or so. It just felt like the thing to do. We'd done a lot of brain work in the morning, had an in-depth discussion with a senior exec over lunch and were getting ready for more coaching and brain work in the afternoon. It was literally and figuratively a time to stretch some different muscles and take a deep breath to clear our heads. The group had a good time with it and one leader said one of his takeaways for the day was that he was going to introduce stretching into his team meetings.
The idea to call a stretch and breathing break came to me because I've been a regular at yoga class three or four times a week for the past three months. I don't want to bore you with the details or preach with the passion of the converted, but it's been a great all around experience. I've been a runner all my life and never thought I'd find any physical activity that I enjoyed more than that. It's been pretty amazing, though, to see what happens when you spend 90 minutes stretching, sweating and twisting in a 95 degree room with a bunch of other people on a regular basis. (It's not as extreme as it might sound.)
Since my compulsion is to look at most things from a leadership angle, here are a few lessons I've learned so far from the practice of yoga that seem to apply to the practice of leadership.
Every day is different and is its own day – One of the things that the yoga instructors like to say is that no two days on the mat are the same. True statement. Over the past two months, I've seen how my capabilities vary from one day to the next. That's teaching me to be less self-critical, more patient and to pay attention to what's working. In my own experience as a leader and in watching other leaders, those are three things worth cultivating. Leadership lesson learned? Every day is its own day. Yesterday is over.
Improvement comes incrementally, then suddenly – So, let me say right now, I have no expectations of being the next Rodney Yee. I don't think I was born with those kind of joints. Still, I'm enjoying the process of developing new skills and increased flexibility. One of the basic poses is called wheel where, while laying on your back, you sort of do an upside down push up. I worked on that for a month and half and just could not get my head and shoulders off the ground. Then one day, I tried it and, zoom, up I went. Big surprise. Last night, I did three wheels in a row and am working on extending the length of my hold. It's a process. Leadership lesson learned? Sometimes progress is hard to observe even if it's being made. If you give up too soon, you forgo the opportunity for sudden breakthroughs.
Breathing can focus you – The studio I go to is called Down Dog Yoga. They put a lot of emphasis on breathing there. By a lot, I mean for 90 minutes the instructor is saying, "Deep breath in… and deep breath out." Lately, I've been getting to class without a lot of time to spare because my schedule has been packed. Starting yoga (or a meeting for that matter) in a slightly frantic state isn't necessarily the best way to go. It's amazing to me, though, how quickly I tune in after five minutes or so of being told to breathe in and breathe out. Leadership lesson learned? If you want to show up more focused and present at your next meeting, take five minutes before you walk in to just breathe in and breathe out.
Invest in your team and the results will follow – I've dabbled in yoga a few other times at other places over the past couple of years. One of the reasons I've become a regular at Down Dog is that the instructors are consistently good. They're very well trained around the approach to yoga that the owner of the studio believes in. They each exhibit their own personality and lead the classes in their own way but there is a consistent framework that they all follow and a common language and approach that they've all been trained in. The leaders of the studio are clearly investing in building and sustaining a team of instructors who are good at what they do, like doing it and enjoy working with and supporting each other. Needless to say, all of that creates a great experience for the students. Leadership lesson learned? It's worth the time and effort to clarify your philosophy and approach and then invest in sharing that with your team.
Anyone reading this blog doing yoga? What are you learning from it? What other physical routines are you pursuing that make a difference for you as a leader?
29 Responses to "Leadership Lessons from Yoga"
Having done yoga for nearly 20 years, I really like the parallels you've drawn between yoga and leadership. As you mention, leadership is about clarity of focus and being able to remove distractions. To me, that's the greatest benefit of yoga.
Another possible leadership lesson learned: yoga requires immense discipline and concentration. Even the simplest moves aren't easy. Sure, you can approximate the Half-Swan, but are you really doing it correctly and with full intention?
Fabulous post Scott, I could not agree more on all counts. I discovered yoga about 10 years ago and now it is a daily morning ritual for me, right after my run along the lake with my dog.
There is no question that yoga has elevated my awareness as a leader. Have you learned about the 7 energy systems within us called Chakras? I was fascinated by the wealth of insight I discovered when I first viewed chakras through the lens of a corporate environment. So much so that it inspired me to develop "The Group of Seven", a corporate diagnostic tool inspired by my learning of the principles within the study of yoga. I have not shared that this was my inspiration until just now reading you post. I would love to hear what you think http://dawnamaclean.com/2010/09/12/the-group-of-7…
I started Yoga three years ago with a very inflexible body. I am much flexible now.
I also started daily meditation since June. It helped me to keep clear mind in hectic situations and to learn breathing in rhythm with my yoga movements.
Leadership lesson learned – it might take two practices to master one competency. Don't drill on one and only one channel of learning or communication.
Danwa, I will contact you after reading your work. I am also into energy work.
Hsuan-hua Chang, PCC http://www.coachseattle.com
Thanks for sharing your experiences and insights Jennifer and Danwa. Twenty years is quite an endorsement of yoga Jennifer. If I go that long, I'll be a "senior" yogi, but I'm up for it! Had a chance to check out your Group of Seven, Danwa. Nice application of yoga principles to organizational effectiveness.
Hsuan-hua, love your wisdom that it sometimes takes two (or more!) practices to master one competency. Thanks for sharing it!
I have been doing yoga for about 5 years now. I am a 43 year old woman who is in the best shape of my life due to the benefits of yoga. It helps gives me strength and flexibility on and off the mat. Yoga is a great way for me to decompress and clear my mind at the end of the day. I find that taking the time to clear my mind gives me the ability to then reflect on the details of my day with better insight.
Gina- Ditto, ditto and ditto. All of that for me too, plus my wife says I'm easier to live with.
By the way, appreciate all the comments – please keep them coming – but I'm wondering where the guys are on this string. Gentlemen, is there not a one of you doing yoga? Real men do, you know.
Scott, Great post on the very real link between leadership + yoga. Taking care of the physical body, mind, the spirit is what I often look for when someone indicates they want to affect some real change .. for themselves, their organizations, their careers, their lives. As a leader, how do you care for yourself and your team? Yoga or any flow art (running, cycling, tai chi, etc) are great ways to cultivate leadership presence and vital for restoring and renewing the energy it takes to lead self and others. Thank you for your sharing your insights & generating awareness on this topic!
I love this posting! I am a student and yoga teacher. I'm also a strategic communications consultant with experience working with leaders and organizations on change and culture.
I think yoga belongs in every organization (I know I'm biased) and I love how you drew the parallel so clearly (because leaders love that!).
I think it would be cool if you developed some sort of workshop around it!
Scott – A post I wish I had written! Your fellow coach and yogi.
Scott, I, too, loved your post! As a longtime yogini (20+ years), it has not only kept my mind and body flexible, it has kept me centered and grounded.
In business, it is essential to remain flexible and open to possibilities, as well as centered in the moment and the big picture.
There is no doubt that deep breathing can calm your mind for whatever comes next. Thanks for seeing the parallels between yoga and leadership–awesome!
As the husband of a yoga instructor and a fellow runner, I practice 3-4 times per week. A few quotes and insights that mirror your comments:
"You can never enter the same river twice." Each experience is new. Be present enough to realize it and experience it.
"Most people are rummaging around in their pockets for the tape of their experience that they will place when the person they're supposed to be listening to is talking" Be present enough to actually listen.
"Don't agonize about the past or fret over the future. Try living in the present"
They call it practice because you're never really done. We need treat the rest of life the same way
I guess I've never thought to look at it like this. I think I'm going to give yoga a serious try!
Great post!
What a terrific post! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for all of the terrific and overwhelming number of comments everyone. Great stuff and, Tom, thanks for stepping up and repping the guys who do yoga. As I look over the range of commenters, the ratio of women to men is pretty close to what I usually see in my yoga classes. Guys, you are missing out!
Happy holidays and namaste everyone.
Hey Scott,
I have taken the plunge and am teaching a good amount of yoga every day at a wonderful studio in Sacramento. I am impressed in your ability to articulate a lot of ways that yoga can be related to leadership and to life. For me, over the last 4 years of practicing, the awareness of my breath has allowed me to further enjoy every moment in the present, as apposed to looking forward or backwards. Thanks for your insight and commitment to improving yourself. Love your blog. You might find mine interesting as well!
"Wonder-full" post. Amazing comments. Here are my insights on linking yoga with leadership:
1. My yoga teacher (www.sariyoga.ca) encourages building the pose from the ground up. Effective leaders build a strong personal and professional foundation.
2. Caution – Resist the latest fad (yoga and leadership). Over the past few years many have jumped on the yoga 'trends', 'fads' like 'hot yoga'. Beware of the trendy leadership fads as well.
3. Yoga is not a competitive sport. Bring your best to your practice with the intention of discovery and enlightenment. Leadership need not be competitive. Quiet leadership attracts discovery and enlightment for leaders and those they lead.
4. When you experience a setback, your practice (yoga and leadership) evolves. Return to your practice and be consistent.
5. Restorative yoga is a critical part of my yoga practice. Leaders benefit from restorative practices such as quieting the mind; exercise; and time-off to sharpen the saw.
Fantastic posting, Scott. I am a healthcare system COO and yoga teacher, and teach two classes a week for the employees at our organization. The principles of non-judgment, discipline and clear intention that build an effective yoga practice apply well to leadership. How we do anything is how we do everything, and I believe that the lessons "from the mat" have helped me to approach my organization and its employees in a non-reactive, mindful and principled way.
Yaaay, Scott! As a yoga teacher and student, I've coined the phrase, Whatever the problem, yoga's the answer. Realizing that might be overstepping it a bit, I'm nonetheless encouraged to plod forward with this message, spurred on by people like you! I write the SF Examiner.com column on yoga, and I'm going to do something on you this week! Cheers, namaste, and I hope to see you sometime. https://www.examiner.com/yoga-in-san-francisco/ma…
Well written post; I'm also 3+ months into it and finding the same benefits as you, both to my well-being and to my leadership abilities.
While Bikram ("hot") yoga may seem faddish to those who have pursued yoga for years, it is providing benefits to me, and probably others. As one of the comments notes, this isn't a competition, but a challenge, or a practice, or even a way of life.
Scott! Okay, you've convinced me, I gotta take up yoga!
Happy New Year to you and your family – I "found" you being followed on Twitter by one of my friends and colleagues. Great to have your insights – a gift for my New Year.
Wow, the fantastic comments just keep coming. Thank you everyone. In the meantime, I'm continuing to learn a lot at yoga. For instance, the classes are very full during the holidays. Lots of detoxing going on I think.
And, Beth Hager, a blast from my past to hear from you. Great to be reconnected. Looking forward to staying connected with all of you in 2011.
Happy new year!
Scott, I like this post. So apt given I only started stretching again this morning. I have been out of practice and I know what I have to go through in order to regain the flexibility I was at before. "A flexible body is a flexible mind", that is how Yoga is like leadership to me. If you are rigid in any form or outlook, what you resist will break you. Great post and fully agree with you as I have found Yoga and Meditation liberating. Can't wait to get back fully on the horse.
Ditto. I work in the world of Leadership Development and I also practice yoga on a regular basis. The one parallel that stands clear is that great leaders have flexible minds, so a flexible body = a flexible mind for me.
Nice parallel Fit4Thabo and Mike. I'm working on a back bend for my cerebellum!
Hey, Scott! Great post! I've been practicing yoga for 5 years now, and from the beginning I, too, have noted the leadership lessons in each yoga session…so much so that I've co-authored a book called Yoga of Leadership, which we expect to finish up and get out this year. It's been an emergent process, lots of breathing, but would love to get your read on it when we're closer to publishing.
A comment made by a young woman in a yoga class resonated with me for a few days. When asked the difference between a new year's resolution and an intention – summarizing her answer – she said it was when you don't initially accomplish your intention, you don't beat yourself up, but continue to make strides to move forward. Maybe when you are taking that 5 minutes to breathe before a meeting, you might want to set your intentions.
Hi Cara
Nice to hear from one of my Down Dog buddies. Thanks for the comment, I was trying to remember what she said about intentions!
Scott –
Toni said you "forgive" yourself if you don't accomplish the intention immediately. For her younger age, her comments were very mature and thought provoking.

By MELANIE STEELESun Advocate reporter
The first repatriation (reintroduction) of Columbia spotted frogs in the United States happened yesterday in the wet meadow areas of the Swaner Nature Preserve in Park City.
Between 4,000 to 5,000 spotted frog tadpoles were released into protective cages within marshy habitat in the preserve's wet meadow areas. Biologists project 200 to 300 will survive to adulthood during the next two to three years.
The Swaner Nature Preserve was selected as the best repatriation site because of its protected, suitable habitat and the fact that spotted frogs were once found in the area.
The Natural Resource Conservation Service has been working with the Swaner Nature Preserve for several years and has acquired a conservation easement that will protect and enhance habitat within the Swaner Nature Preserve area.
Fifty years ago, the Columbia spotted frog was one of the most common amphibians along the Wasatch Front.
Factors such as loss of habitat, filling-in of wetlands, introduction of non-native species, poor water quality and other factors associated with urban sprawl contributed to their decline.
In 1989, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service was petitioned to list the spotted frog. The frogs were not listed on the federal Endangered Species list but are listed as a species of concern on Utah's Sensitive Species list.
The spotted frog technical team, which consists of representatives from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the Central Utah Water Conservancy District has determined the need to begin repatriation and range expansion projects for the Columbia spotted frog.
Repatriation consists of expanding the range of spotted frogs by moving them into historically occupied habitat. Repatriation will help fulfill objectives outlined in the Columbia Spotted Frog Conservation Agreement and Strategy.
The May 3 repatriation was the first on-the-ground activity ever conducted in the United States to expand the range of the Columbia spotted frog. The frogs are found in western North America, as far north as Alaska and as far south as Utah and Nevada.
The Columbia spotted frog is closely associated with the marshy edges of ponds, lakes, slow-moving cool water streams and springs. They are differentiated from the more common chorus frog by their vocalization and coloration.
Chorus frogs are commonly heard and resemble the sound made when a finger is run down the teeth of a comb. The Columbia spotted frog vocalization sounds like a "clicking" or soft "bubbling" noise. Spotted frogs have yellowish-orange coloration on their bellies. They are currently confined to isolated springs or riparian wetlands in Juab, Sanpete, Summit, Utah and Wasatch counties.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the delivery time once I place an order?
Delivery times depend on where in Australia you are based as tyres are shipped from Sydney. Please refer to the below guide;
NSW: 1-2 working days
VIC, ACT, QLD: 2-3 workings days
SA, WA, NT: 3-5 working days
Find your tyre size and learn what the numbers mean
A tyres size is found by looking at the sequence of letters and numbers written on the tyre sidewall. For the below description we will use the example P185/55 R 15 81H
Width - The first 3 digit number (185 in example below) is your tyre width measured in millimetres.
Aspect Ratio - The next two digit number (55 in the example below) is the tyres aspect ratio. This measurement is taken from the wheel to the outer circumference of the tyre. This number is a percentage of your tyres width. So in this example the aspect ratio is 55% of the tyres width which is 185mm.
Rim Diameter - The next two digit number is the diameter of the wheel rim measured in inches. The example below has a tyre that is 15 inches.
What is a Tyre Placard?
A Tyre placard is a very handy reference when buying new tyres. Most placards will be found either on the driver's side door, in the glove box or under the fuel cap. This sticker will show you the tyre type, size, and speed rating you need to look for. The placard will also show you the correct inflation pressures for your front and back tyres.
I don't know my vehicle series number?
Dont worry - simply click on the orange 'Help me find a tyre' tab on the right hand side of the page. We will send your contact details to a tyre dealer in your area who will help you find the right tyre for your vehicle.
How old are my tyres?
You can tell the age of your tyres by looking at the 4-digit build stamp. This stamp is also located on the tyre sidewall. The first two digits represent the week and last two digits are the year. For example 3608 means the tyre was built in the 36 th week of 2008.
When should I change my tyres?
As a general rule, tyres should be replaced when the tread depth gets below 2mm. To tell the depth of your tread, look for the wear indicators, which are rubber blocks found in four grooves that run around the tyre circumference. The wear indicator is 1.6mm thick, which is the legal limit in Australia. If your tyres reach this minimum depth they must be changed or you are breaking the law and putting your own safety at risk. Other circumstances such as tyre damage, vehicle mileage and a tyres age should also be considered. For additional information on when to change your tyres, read our article under the 'Tyre Buying Guide'
Tyre speed rating and load index?
The tyres load index and speed rating can be found by looking at the two digit number and letter at the end of the sequence displayed on your tyre.
Using the example above, 81H is the maximum load capacity and speed at which the tyre can safely operate. The speed index for passenger car tyres normally sit between "t" and "Y" which equates to 190-300km/h.
The load index for passenger car tyres normally sits between 60 and 110, which equates to 250-1060kgyre. Refer to the below charts to find your tyres load index and speed rating.
What tyre pressure should I use?
The placard (found in the driver's door area, glove box or under the fuel cap) will tell you the correct pressure for your car's front and back tyres. Make sure the tyres on your car match the placard sticker. Your cars previous owner may not have matched new tyres with the placard, meaning the required tyre pressure will differ.
The pressure on the placard is called COLD pressure, which is the tyres pressure before you have driven your car. Driving your car increases the pressure, so you need to take the measure while your car is still cold.
What are Eco tyres?As tyre technology continues to improves, consumers are being given a choice to buy tyres that are more environmentally friendly. This tyre technology lowers the rolling resistance which reduces fuel consumption. The less fuel a car uses the less C02 emissions are let into the atmosphere.
What are space savers?
All cars must carry a spare tyre in case of a puncture. However tyres are large in size and can take up a lot of room especially in smaller vehicles. This is where a space saver can be used. As the name suggests it is a replacement tyre for your car that is smaller in size than regular tyres. Space savers are not designed to be driven on for long distances and should only be used to get you home or to a tyre dealer. Space savers must be driven at a speed limit of 80km and can affect the handling and control of your vehicle. It is therefore important that you drive with extra care when using space saver tyres.
What are Run Flat Tyres?
Run flat tyres are designed to be driven on for a certain distance after a tyre is punctured. The distance which the tyre can be driven is dependent on the brand and model of the tyre. The speed limit for run flat tyres is 80km/h.

Joe Laszlo | September 28, 2012 | Comments
Rather than wishing for an unlikely device monopoly, mobile media needs technical solutions to help optimize content across devices.
For much of the past year, my colleagues at the IAB and I have been beating the drum of "mobilizing the web." I fully believe in that mandate (see "Tap Into Mobile"); however, it's easier said than done. The messily fragmented world of mobile, with dozens of smartphones, tablets, and in-between devices, makes it practically impossible to build custom content for every screen.
Rather than wishing for an unlikely device monopoly, mobile media needs technical solutions to help optimize content across devices. Thus the growing buzz around something called "responsive design."
Responsive design takes two forms today:
Responsive design solutions break a page or ad down into assets that can be resized, repositioned, added, or subtracted according to pre-set rules depending on the available screen real estate. The same JavaScript and HTML framework might appear as a multi-column page with side navigation and video on a PC, but as a single column, top-navigation page with a still image on a phone. An IAB wide skyscraper ad unit on a large screen might become a medium rectangle ad in closer quarters.
I've been working with a group of IAB members to write a new overview of responsive design. The following are a few observations from that paper.
With Great Tools Come Great Responsibility
Responsive design has the ability to make the web a more flexible place, and to give consumers on all of today's, and even tomorrow's, devices a good experience with content and ads. But responsive design is not a panacea. It would be a mistake to think "just deploy responsive design and you never have to think about presentation (or phone or tablet users) again." Responsive design is a tool - it can speed execution and delivery, but it does not replace the human expertise needed to ensure a website succeeds or an ad captivates across screens.
Responsive Design Requires Responsive Business Practices
It's also tempting to think of responsive design just in terms of cost-savings and future-proofing content development. But of course the size and layout of content and advertising have a direct business impact.
For example, web publishers considering RWD must understand whether ad sales will still be able to sell smartphone, PC, and tablet ads separately; how ad positioning ("above the fold" vs. "below the fold") changes as layout modifies itself; and the metrics ad operations can obtain on ad and site performance. Marketers thinking about RCD need to consider its impact on standard practices like quality assurance and creative approval, and how delivering multiple ad sizes or placements via a single tag will affect their ability to monitor and analyze campaign performance. Evaluating the business-practice ramifications is critical to making an informed decision on deploying RCD or RWD.
Redefining Standard Ad Units?
The IAB was founded way back in 1996 to standardize banner ad sizes across web publishers: the need to build custom ads for each web publisher was harming the growth of digital advertising. Ironically, if RCD had been available then, the IAB might not have been necessary.
I'm not worried about RCD putting the IAB out of business today. There is plenty of work around metrics, ad operations, public policy, and education to keep us busy. But I do believe responsive design could be transformational. If RCD gains wide adoption as a cross-screen solution, I can imagine a future where the IAB defines standard ad units not by how big they are in pixels, but by how they behave and how users interact with them. The IAB's Mobile Rising Stars point in that direction, and I'm excited to see how else the industry responds to responsive design.

As the senior director of the Interactive Advertising Bureau's Mobile Marketing Center of Excellence, Joe Laszlo plays a key role furthering the center's mission of growing the mobile interactive industry. Joe manages many of the IAB's mobile standardization, best practices, and research projects; advises both buyers and sellers of mobile media; and oversees the IAB's Mobile Committee and Tablet Committee.
Joe served as the IAB's director of research from 2007 through 2010, also managing the IAB's Mobile Committee for much of that time. During his IAB career, Joe has led IAB projects including: writing buyer's guides to mobile and tablet advertising; standardizing mobile rich media advertising; and working with the Mobile Marketing Association and MRC to establish guidelines for counting mobile web and in-app ad impressions.
Prior to the IAB, Joe had an eight-year tenure at Jupiter Research, where he started researching and writing about mobile interactivity in 2000.
Joe holds an MA from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts and a BA from Columbia. He lives in Manhattan.
