Hey, everyone!
One of my favorite songs right now is Keith Urban's "Long Hot Summer". I love it! It always puts a smile on my face and is one of those 'feel good, turn it up, windows down, cruise around" kind of songs :)
I wish I could say the same for our SUMMER! Our kids go back to school TOMORROW. I cannot believe I have a 7th grader, two 4th graders, and a 1st grader this year. What happened to my babies?!? We are going to be BUSY, whew!
It's also my last post as Guest Designer for Sweet 'n Sassy today and what better way to say farewell to summer and to SNSS (thanks so much for having me!) than with another "Summertime Rhubarb" card? Here's our little friend all happy in his inner tube one more time:
Well, I had a BLAST as July Guest and again, thanks to Taylor and Korin for having me! See you soon, everybody!

Once a week, I lead a lecture section called Storytelling. I consider it Screenwriting Zero, almost an introduction to the art of screenwriting. Now, the content isn't anything new to me. I'm not bragging, but I pulled out a B.A. in Creative Writing in Linguistics from a sub-state school, so I'm more than comfortable blowing hot air at students for two hours every Wednesday. It's not all fun and games. Every once in a while, I spring a test on them, just to let them know who's boss. But really, leading four workshops a week is actually a heck of a lot more fun than it sounds. Really.
Rucker. Rucker is the boss. In case you missed that earlier.
I get really frustrated whenever somebody stops me and says, "You know, you'll learn more from teaching than you ever will sitting in a classroom." Please. The only reason I took this job is so that I could make sure to teach them all the wrong things to weed out competition in my coming days as a professional screenwriter. However, it seems to be a trend that I'm picking up on lessons that I thought I'd learned myself. I'm reminding them to do the things I forget to do.
Figure out what your story is. Put your main character on the ropes. What are you trying to say? Take no prisoners. By the way, who is your main character?
One of the things I really love about Boston University is this chance that I get to teach. I bragged to my mentor before I left that I'd totally be leading a class by my second year. I didn't really expect to get the chance, but here I am. There's something really special about standing in front of those kids every week, knowing that I have the chance to share something that I really enjoy. I even wrote "Don't write crap." on the board at the beginning of the semester. I enjoy teaching about positive and negative charges and plants and payoffs, but what I really love is writing pseudo-swears on the board.
But really, that's what teaching and writing is for me. On the first day, I had them write a simple list of ten things that moved them. Every response I gave was catered, but essentially the same: "Now that you've know what moves you, you'll be able to move your audience." Sure, it was a lot harder than pounding into their heads, "Write what you love. Write what you love. Write what you love." (I still did that, but I also did this, so the bad teaching and good teaching evens out. That's how it works, right?)
But ever since I taught that lesson on the first day, my writing's gotten better. I'm thinking more about the messages I'm trying to convey, and they're coming out clearer. I'm remembering to put my main character on the ropes. I'm acid testing my work, figuring out what's essential in the story, just like I'm trying to remind Max and Navzad and Shari to do.
So, yeah. There it is. Learning through teaching. I'm pretty sure that's what that Robert Fulghum book was talking about, but I heard it was actually about his time in prison. You didn't hear it from me.

Leonardo da Vinci was many things: artist, architect, engineer, inventor and—on occasion—scientist. But even though he made many detailed studies of the human form, his anatomical drawings languished unpublished for centuries. Here's a glimpse into his archives.
In fact, Leonardo spent a large proportion of his life drawing the human body, and intended to publish a book based on his studies—but it never happened. Instead, material that could have shaped the study of anatomy was left unused.
In this video, Martin Clayton, senior curator at the Queen's Gallery in Buckingham Palace talks about three of Leonardo's most interesting anatomical sketches. Modern medicine missed out through not seeing these drawings earlier than it did. [Nature]

Fiscal Planning
Fiscal planning is essential to ensure fiscal policy responsibility and public services with quality and efficiency. It is through fiscal planning that government, in a transparent manner, presents current fiscal situation, establishes its goals and strategies, identifies risks to public finance and adopts best practices of assessment, monitoring and implementation of public policies.
In Brazil, the Constitution, and complementarily the Fiscal Responsibility Law (LRF), establishes three main planning instruments: (i) Multiyear Plan (PPA), (ii) Budget Guidelines Law (LDO) and (iii) Annual Budget Law (LOA).
PPA is the legal instrument of planning for a longer term, establishing priorities and directions for government's actions. PPA establishes – for a 4 year period and by region – government's guidelines, goals and objectives which will guide the use of public and private resources (when resulting from partnerships) for capital expenditure and others associated to it as well as those related to continuous programs.
LDO is the link between PPA and LOA, establishing which programs, among the ones included in PPA, will have priority in the next year's budget. LDO also is responsible for: setting fiscal goals for Federal Government; disciplining annual budget preparation and execution; determining changes in the legislation along with its budget adequacy; regulating on federal debt and on Federal Government's personnel and social expenses; establishing official financial agencies investment policies; regulating on inspections made by Legislative and on jobs or services with evidence of serious irregularities; and other general provisions.
LOA estimates revenues and establishes the amount federal government is authorized to expend during the year. LOA must be compatible with LDO and PPA, and can be amended by additional credits' bills. LOA consists of Fiscal and Social Security budget, as well as investment budget for companies in which the Government, directly or indirectly, holds the majority of shares with voting rights.

Last week, I wrote this:
The fundamental differences between the left and the right — between conservatives and progressives — comes down to how we answer three simple questions: "Can we?," "Should we?" and "What do we mean, 'We'?"
Apply them to any challenge we face as a country — Can we make health care available to all? Can we reign in Wall Street? Can we build an economy that works for the other 99% of us? Can we keep teachers, police officers, and fire fighters working in our communities? Can we reduce our contribution to climate change? — and our answers reveal who we are and where we're headed.
This week, an exchange between two political leaders illustrates that point, and then some.

Massage Coach brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 161 Designs von 27 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
I would describe myself as an innovator, a dreamer, a motivating and motivated individual, passionate, and extremely focused especially when the desire is clear. I value new experiences and finding ways to make the old routines fresh and new, bringing more life to old and boring procedures.
Massage and holistic practitioners who are focused on treatment-based therapy (in contrast to those who are focused on relaxation and spa-type therapy).
My audience is primarily composed of individuals that are approximately between the ages of 21-55, with an optimistic, "young" and fresh mindset about therapy.
I am looking for a logo that is somewhat serious, but not too formal and stuffy.
CAUTION: Although I wanted a more professional look and feel, these therapist chose this profession because they wanted to move AWAY from the corporate-type mentality.
So the design should be PROFESSIONAL AND EDGY all the same.
Nice clean lines offering the vision of clarity and simplicity, but not fluffy and loose.
They also have a deep desire to be respected in their field, as well as increasing their level of income.
Overall Market Segment
30% Male:
70% Female:
An "empowering" logo. Ideally a Typographic logo with design elements
Colors I think will work:
White, black, and red should be used in any way you wish
See sample logos that appeal to me – BUT please don't copy these – I'm looking for a unique visual, not to copy something that's already out there.
We want to avoid these examples:
1. Cartoon-like feel
2. Bright neon-type colors
3. No crazy fonts that is unrecognizable to the quick glance
4. No drop-shadows
5. Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
The Logo must work in the following settings:
Print in Black & white and be legible
Print on various backgrounds
Where will I use the Logo:
WordPress Header Graphic (working with Thesis Theme) – If you can give a sample please;
Banner Ads;
Membership site;

An antioxidant is any compound, whether vitamin, mineral, nutraceutical, or herb that protects against cellular damage from reactive oxygen species, including free radicals, single oxygen atoms and hydrogen peroxide. Some of the more well-known antioxidants include ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), alpha-tocopherol (Vitamin E), beta-carotene, and enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase.
This is a broad topic that includes a variety of therapeutic options including herbal remedies, homeopathic remedies, nutraceuticals and supplements. There are few controlled studies to show that any of these treatments are effective in pets.
Bilberry is an herb whose fruit has been used in human herbal medicine for centuries. Bilberry, related to blueberry, has antioxidant properties, and is most commonly taken internally in people to help with disorders of the eyes including macular degeneration (deterioration of part of the retina or back of the eye) and cataract formation.
There are receptors coating the surface of every cell with a nucleus that help to facilitate communication between cells. Biological response modifiers are large sugar molecules (immune polysaccharides), or sugar and protein molecules (glycoproteins) that interact with receptors on the surface of immune system cells.
Tea is second only to water as the most popular beverage in the world. Both black and green teas are made from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis.
Calcium is a major structural component of bones and teeth, and is an essential dietary mineral. Various forms of calcium are available for supplementation.
Calendula (Calendula officinalis), or pot marigold, is very commonly used in herbal medicine as a topical anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. Its soothing effect is due to its ability to scavenge free radicals (which are products of inflammation), preventing them from causing further inflammation, and to its ability to inhibit lymphocyte proliferation (a white blood cell associated with the immune system).
Cetyl myristoleate (CM) is an ester (a compound produced by the reaction between an acid and an alcohol) of a fatty acid (myristoleic acid). It is commonly found in fish oils, dairy products, butter, and animal fat.
Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) is commonly used in human herbal medicine as a mild sedative, and as an antispasmodic to relieve menstrual cramps. Both of these effects are contributed by one of its constituents, apigenin, which is one of the more well studied active ingredients in plant medicine.
Choline is a vitamin supplement that is present in several forms, including phosphatidylcholine (PC). The medicinal effects of choline are presumed to be caused by phosphatidylcholine.

Black Friday has passed. I hope you didn't just dig into your war chest and plop down a few paychecks on a "new" flatscreen TV for Christmas, because just as you sit down in your darkened room, put your feet up, and relax, about to enjoy your new flatscreen HDTV, it is already obsolete before you get it home.
HDTV is being replaced by "Ultra HDTV". Till now, it has been known in the industry as 4K TV, however the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) has officially announced the new name for it: Ultra HD TV.
What is Ultra HD TV? Well just as there are four HDTV specs (720i and 720P, 1080i and 1080P), there are a few Ultra HD TV specs. The CEA determines it to be: "Minimum performance attributes include display resolution of at least eight million active pixels, with at least 3,840 horizontally and at least 2,160 vertically. Displays will have an aspect ratio with width to height of at least 16 X 9. To use the Ultra HD label, display products will require at least one digital input capable of carrying and presenting native 4K format video from this input at full 3,840 X 2,160 resolution without relying solely on up-converting."
Yes. At least 2160p, that is twice the current 1080P resolution. At 3840 x 2160, it's twice as wide, twice as tall, with an 8.3MP image, that's quadruple the 2.1MP image found on current HD.
To illustrate this, here is a graphic showing the different video resolutions, starting with the original 704×480 (NTSC) or 704×576 (PAL/SECAM). As you can see, 4K Ultra HDTV absolutely dwarfs 1080P HD TV.
An odd side note: The previous 4K-TV moniker refers to the horizontal pixel count, contrary to industry standard, measuring along the vertical axis.
Alright, so aside from costing an arm, leg, and a few other body parts, what are the drawbacks? Primarily, lack of content. HDMI cable specs are capable of handling a 4K Ultra HDTV bitstream, but the industry currently lacks a standard for getting Ultra HDTV signal over HDMI from a playback device. Furthermore, Ultra HDTV is beyond the realm of current BlueRay hardware, so at this time, the technology to deliver native 4K Ultra HDTV content doesn't really exist…
Luckily, that is about to change in the very near future. All the major Hollywood film studios have 4K stored in their vaults, and increasingly, more movies are mastered in 4K resolution, such as Peter Jackson's The Hobbit, which is being shot on RED Epic digital cameras, which reach up to 5K resolution. It won't be a far stretch till the industry creates new standards for Ultra HDTV interface, and new Blue Ray style hardware to play movies on. Till then, Youtube has a selection of 4K contentto feast your eyes on, while Sony promises free 4K theatrical films for 4K tv buyers.
To wrap this up in a nice Ultra HDTV bow for the holidays, I am going to leave you with some eye candy… a $25,000 Sony VPL-VW1000ES 4K projector… drool.
What do you think?
I would love your thoughts and comments. You can Email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will reply to as many of your messages as possible, maybe using some questions and answers in a future post.
You can also catch me on Twitter @DrTechCo or on Facebook.com/DoktorTech

World Wide Web
World Wide Web (WWW or W3), collection of globally distributed text and multimedia documents and files and other network services linked in such a way as to create an immense electronic library from which information can be retrieved quickly by intuitive searches. The Web represents the application of hypertext technology and a graphical interface to the Internet to retrieve information that is contained in specially formatted documents that may reside in the same computer or be distributed across many computers around the world. It consists of three main elements. The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) comprises the programming codes, or tags, that define fonts, layouts, embedded graphics, and links (hyperlinks) to other documents accessible via the Web. The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) defines a set of standards for transmitting Web pages across the Internet. The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a standardized naming convention for identifying a Web document, image, or other file by its location, in a sense the address of a file. The result is called the Web because it is made up of many sites, all linked together, with users traveling from one site to the next by clicking a computer's pointing device on a hyperlink.
Web sites, also called Web pages, are really Internet sites that all use the same techniques and HTML tags to create multimedia documents with hypertext links. Each Web page can contain many screens or printed pages of text, graphics, audio, and even video, and the starting point for any Web site is called its home page. Although each page is an Internet site, it must be accessed via a special program called a Web browser, which can translate the HTML into the graphical images, text, and hypertext links intended by the creator of the page.
Interactive television is a generic term that encompasses a variety of Web-related television technologies and products. Typically, a home television receiver and a telephone line are connected through a small appliance that accesses the Internet through the telephone line and converts the downloaded Web pages into a form that can be displayed on the receiver. A remote control interface allows the user to navigate through the Web and select the information to be displayed.
Ted Nelson, an American computer consultant, had promoted the idea of linking documents via hypertext during the 1960s, but the technology required was not to be available for another 20 years. The foundation of what we now think of as the Web originated with work done on the retrieval of information from distributed systems by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN during the 1980s. This culminated in the introduction of a text-only interface, or browser, to the scientific community in 1990 and to the public in 1991. Because of the difficulty of using this version, acceptance outside the scientific and academic communities was slow. Marc Andreessen, an undergraduate student working at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), developed a graphical browser for the Web, introducing a UNIX version in 1993. Versions for the Windows and Macintosh operating systems followed in 1994, and acceptance of the World Wide Web blossomed quickly. In the late 1990s the development of improved browsers with greater multimedia functionality, security, and privacy, as well as more powerful search engines capable of indexing the ever greater information on the Web, led to the commercialization of the Internet (see e-commerce).
See P. Whitehead and R. Maran, Internet and World Wide Web: Simplified (2d ed. 1997); E. Wilde, Wilde's WWW: Technical Foundations of the World Wide Web (1997); A. Glossbrenner and E. Glossbrenner, Search Engines: For the World Wide Web (2d ed. 1998); S. Western, The Complete Beginner's Guide to the World Wide Web (1998); T. Berners-Lee and M. Fischetti, Weaving the Web (1999).

Stockbridge Valley beats Hamilton 3-2 in girls volleyball semifinal
CLINTON - Stockbridge Valley's bid for perfection is still alive.
The top-seeded Cougars defeated Hamilton's girls volleyball team 25-19, 27-29, 25-21, 20-25, 25-23 in Tuesday's Class D semifinal at Clinton High School. Coach Ray Webb's team broke open a tight first game with a 7-0 run at the end, fell victim to some clutch serving by the Emerald Knights at the of the second game, built a huge lead in the third then held on, fell victim to a rally in the fourth then won a tense fifth game to improve to 15-0.
The victory puts the Cougars into Saturday's 10:00 a.m. title match against league rival Cincinnatus at Chittenango.
"They wear you out," a happy and relieved Webb said after the marathon affair. "Hamilton has been our nemesis."
Stockbridge Valley had more balance on offense while Clara and Eme Jones amassed 38 of Hamilton's 43 kills to keep their team in contention all night. But at the end it was Meriah Beauvais' play that staked the Cougars to a big lead in the fifth game and her perfectly placed hit on the last point that ended the match.
The first game saw neither team taking a lead larger than three points until the end. Beauvais and Justiss Usborne had kills to start the clinching run then Sam Yates had two aces at the end to deny Hamilton's comeback hopes.
Coach Dennis Roy's team would not be denied a comeback in the second game, though. Play went back and forth all the way and Stockbridge valley had the first chance to win at 24-23. Clara Jones had a kill to save Hamilton and traded aces with the Cougars' Nicole Jacobs to help get the score to 27-26 for the top seed.
A spiking error by the Cougars knotted the score, Eme Jones tipped for a point then Carrie VonMuench had an ace to get Hamilton even at 1-1.
In the third game, Hamilton (13-5) fell behind 23-11 then staged a furious rally with Clara Jones having three aces and Eme Jones a kill to make it 23-20 before Kelsey Kinney closed the game with a kill for Stockbridge Valley. The Cougars were ahead 18-15 in the fourth game before Clara Jones had three aces to spark a 9-0 run that made things interesting. Kinney ended the drama with a kill for Webb's team
The Joneses and VonMuench led Hamilton on offense in the fourth game, and Hannah Bodnar was steady as always setting up almost every kill. VonMuench had two aces and Eme Jones had two kills in the 8-0 run late in the game that shifted the momentum.
Beauvais almost single handedly grabbed it back for the Cougars at the start of the fifth game with two blocks, a kill and an ace and her team went ahead 7-1 and 9-2 before Hamilton began to claw back into the match. Yates had two kills midway in the game to help her team stay ahead but Eme Jones had a kill on the Cougars' first match point at 24-19. Two errors by Stockbridge Valley and a clever shoot by Clara Jones got Hamilton one point away from tying the match. Beauvais then had her clinching kill to end Hamilton's dream of a fifth straight trip to the Section III finals.
"I expected it to be a tough match," Cougars senior Lisa Curtis said. "It was very nerve-wracking."
That it was, but more so for Hamilton at the end.
"If you can't serve you can't win," Roy said of a key to the match. "They stepped theirs up at the end. And we didn't hit really well tonight. I don't know why."
Beauvais, Yates and Kinney teamed for 31 of the winner's kills. The 5-foot-10 Kinney added 14 blocks and Usborne had 35 assists to pace the winners.
Bodnar had 36 assists, Clara Jones 21 kills, Eme Jones 17 to lead Hamilton in defeat.
Stockbridge Valley (15-0): Meriah Beauvais 11k, 8b, 2ac, 9d; Lisa Curtis 3k; Kelsey Kinney 10k, 14b, 1ac, 4d; Taylor Eaton 6d; Justiss Usborne 2ac, 35as; Samantha Yates 10k, 5b, 4ac, 4d; Nicole Jacobs 3k, 3ac, 2as, 1d; Tiffani Jacobs 12d; Brianna Dygert 1k.

Water pump front port plug: Dorman 65256 (M14 x 1.25)
Comes with a fiber sealing washer which I swapped out for an aluminum washer.
I tried a 1/4" NPT pipe plug but it leaked and never really tightened up against the metric threads. I'm sure with enough teflon it would seal, but the Dorman part was available from Advance for less than $4

A gift from art collector Daphne Farago will dramatically upgrade the Museum of Fine Arts's holdings of contemporary glass and craft, the latest effort by the MFA to strengthen a once-neglected area of the collection.
The 161 works coming from Farago range from rare, century-old pottery to newer works by artists such as Dale Chihuly, Sam Maloof, and Tom Patti. This is the third major gift of art from Farago and her late husband, Peter, whose contributions have totalled $2.5 million to $5 million in art and money over the years.
Much of this work has never been seen by the public. It is set to go on display in August in the museum's Farago Gallery, which opened in 2011. In announcing the gift, MFA officials stressed that the museum is acquiring works it simply couldn't afford to buy today. Officials would not estimate the value of the gift, but similar works by artists included have sold for as much as $80,000 apiece in recent years.
"Daphne, as a collector, is one of those amazing individuals who has an enormous confidence in her taste and eye, and she was in the vanguard when not a lot of people in the art world were looking in this area," said Cody Hartley, the MFA's director of gifts of art. "As a result, she built a collection that would be very hard to equal. It gives us an enormous edge."
The works by Chihuly include a bowl, basket set, and cylinder. In 2011, a show featuring works by the glass artist proved to be one of the most popular in MFA history, drawing more than 320,000 people and leading to the purchase of the 42-foot-tall "Lime Green Icicle Tower." That piece was installed in the museum's main courtyard.
Other works in the Farago collection include a more-than-century-old ceramic table lamp from Fulper Pottery Co., a double rocking chair crafted in 1988 by Maloof, and a glass vase made in 1957 by Finnish artist Timo Sarpaneva.
Though Farago and her husband (Peter Farago died in 2010) were long associated with the MFA, they also were significant supporters of the Rhode Island School of Design Museum. In fact, RISD named a wing of the museum after the Faragos. In the case of attracting this latest gift, though, the MFA had a clear advantage: It is bigger and has greater reach.
"RISD, though it is a wonderful institution — Boston offers more visibility and prominence for the collection," said Daphne Farago.
Lauren Whitley, the MFA's curator of textile and fashion arts, praised Farago's eye for art and said that, in recent years, the collector has called her occasionally to suggest a museum purchase — and offer money to make it possible. In particular, Whitley mentioned the purchase of an early work by fiber artist and weaver Kay Sekimachi.
Farago already had a group of Sekimachi works in her collection, most of which she had purchased directly from the artist in the 1980s and 1990s.
"Daphne was the one who said, 'Let's try to get one of these for the museum,' " said Whitley. "It was a great connection. It really filled an important gap in the collection."
One key aspect of the gift, said Hartley, is that it comes without restrictions or demands. Typically, collectors might donate after striking a deal on how often works would be on display and how soon a catalog of the works would be produced. They often ask for an assurance none of the gift will ever be sold.
"Daphne did not place any restrictions on this gift," said Hartley. "I think that has everything to do with her good will and confidence that the museum will treat this material right."
MFA director Malcolm Rogers said he knows of the Faragos' history with RISD, but he believes the Boston museum had an advantage because of its larger range.
"The thing that tipped the balance — and it was something her husband, Peter, believed in — is that the Museum of Fine Arts has context for the collections that stretches thousands of years back," said Rogers. "You can see her jewelry, her glass, her ceramics, in the context of what was happening in ancient Greece or ancient Asia."
Farago said that she began collecting the craft works given to the MFA for her home in Little Compton, R.I. Recently, she sold that property and moved to live in Florida full time. "But my apartment is filled with wonderful pieces of craft and things that I love," Farago said.
Though she says she's stopped actively collecting, she does still buy works.
"Everything," said Farago, "will eventually go to the museum."

Using free markets to create a richer, freer, happier world.
The Adam Smith Institute is one of the world's leading think tanks. Independent, non-profit and non-partisan, we work to promote neoliberal and free market ideas through research, publishing, media commentary, and educational programmes. The Institute is today at the forefront of making the case for free markets and a free society in the United Kingdom.
Freedom from poverty through markets and economic growth
Central to our mission is our belief that free markets work best for the poor. No system has raised people out of poverty and given them the freedom to live their lives as they wish like free markets have, and in politics today it is usually the poorest people who bear the brunt of the government's worst policies in areas like education, health and welfare. Our mission is to use free markets to end poverty in Britain and around the world. We believe in:
- Low, simple, flat taxes that encourage investment and innovation, and hence economic growth.
- A voucher-based education system that gives parents and schools complete freedom over how and where children are educated.
- A privately-provided, publicly-funded healthcare system where patient outcomes, not NHS wages, are the focus.
- Freedom of trade with the world, and a liberal immigration system that is designed to work for migrants and natives alike.
- A liberalised planning system that lets many more houses be built, so everyone can afford to own their own home.
- A simple welfare system based around a Negative Income Tax or Basic Income that tops up the wages of the poor and guarantees that work always pays.
- Free market money and an end to bailouts of private banks, in all their forms.

The following is a guest blog post by Andy Nieto, IT Strategist for DataMotion Health.
Nearly every news outlet does an annual recap about what has changed over the past 12 months. In recent years, we've learned we are now more connected, more aware, traveling more, doing more and so on. The role of the local family doctor being the only caregiver has also changed, giving way to more specialists, more providers and more needs. A survey by GfK Roper showed Americans over 65 saw an average of 28 doctors – and that was five years ago. There are now 8,000 of us reaching age 65 every day. By 2029, the 65+ group will comprise more than 20 percent of the population.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Healthcare is encountering numerous problems, fueled by an aging population. For the industry to adapt, move forward, and produce better health outcomes, one particular change is critical.
Problem One: More People Seeing More Doctors
A 2014 Journal of the American Medical Association article, "Finding the Missing Link for Big Biomedical Data" (jama.2014.4228), identified there are a tremendous number of data elements which affect a patient's health, wellness, and ultimately, their outcomes from treatment.
There are two concurrent efforts underway to manage and control this data. The first was the HITECH Act and move to digitization, management and aggregation of patient data. This push for electronic health records (EHRs) has resulted in more than 3,000 certified healthcare technology products on the market. There are 900,000 active physicians, more than 5,700 hospitals, 60,000 pharmacies and 100,000 physical therapy entities. And this doesn't include countless caregivers, ancillary staff, labs, etc.
That said, the volume of information is staggering and will only increase.
The second effort underway is to define care needs and create communities to effectively address these. The Health Information Management System Society (HIMSS) has created the Health Story Project in an effort to understand the scope of these needs. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) has patient rights and wellness acts. And virtually every insurance and health system has some type of health outreach management plan.
All of these communities are empowered by access to, and utilization of, information about the patients under their care. Most importantly, it is imperative that the "left hand understand what the right hand is doing" in order to treat patients more effectively and safely, control costs, create greater efficiencies and much more.
Problem Two: So Much Information in So Many Places
"Americans are sicker" is a blanket statement that the media now seems to report daily. Obesity, chronic conditions and increased costs for healthcare are constantly in the headlines. At least one report has stated that 45 percent of all Americans suffer from at least one chronic condition. What's more, by 2025 one half of all Americans will suffer from chronic conditions.
For many businesses and industries, there's long been an 80/20 rule where 80% of the cost was from 20% of materials, 80% of revenue from 20% of customers, etc. For healthcare though, there are many who feel the situation with chronic care patients is much worse.
Of course, effective treatment means a need for more specialists, more providers and more information to handle those with such conditions. But that vital information is now in so many places.
Problem Three: The Communication Crisis
When I was growing up, my mother always told me to "use my words" to address conflict. Unfortunately, our healthcare crisis has an even larger and more fundamental conflict – a lack of communication. How do we deal with any of these problems if we cannot communicate?
Communication in healthcare is a multi-pronged issue. Information must be exchanged. Care, providers, resources and schedules must be coordinated. Amidst this, we cannot forget the patient, and that today as a country we are less healthy and demands have increased.
One study found patients with chronic conditions as a result of poor lifestyle choices, obesity for example, are significantly less likely to be compliant with treatment plans. The fact is, patients that have regular and interactive communication with their providers are significantly more likely to be compliant with care plans and demonstrate better outcomes.
Communication, including feedback with the patient, is critical to addressing patient compliance
A Single Solution
Communication is the foundation of coordinating the volume of care providers, specialists and services needed to address patient health, wellness and outcomes. HIPAA, HITECH, Omnibus rulings, as well as the ongoing work of the ONC and HIMSS, all support interoperability and connected healthcare. Opening the lines of communication is the first step, though with this progress, the problem of data becomes clear.
Communication exists in many forms. Healthcare is both a science of medicine and an art of care, which means various types of information must be exchanged. To achieve the "holy grail" of interoperability, obstacles for clinical information exchange must be removed. Barriers around data types and formats are a blockade to progress. Conversation, consultation, planning and discussion are as critical to the delivery of care as discrete and diagnostic data elements. Therefore, messaging must be used that is open and empowered to ALL types of data – from structured digital data to images and unstructured documents – and security is obviously imperative.
Simple communication is a conversation between providers. So, why is it, then, that many "so called" clinical messaging solutions do not support the simple process of person-to-person dialogue? A communications solution must support both "science and art." Care coordination, facilitating provider-to-provider and provider-to-patient interaction removes barriers, simplifies and improves care delivery, and by extension, improves health and wellness.
With this in mind, the themes of "more" must be extended to healthcare to move forward. And that means more communication, more coordination and more care.

Clean up 88th Street, says Tom Pappas, who lives in the area, and that could be the key to a safer neighborhood and higher property values. It might even help bring much-needed foot traffic to Atlas Park - the road is an important local route to the out-of-the-way mall, which has struggled to gain traction with area shoppers.
If driving to the mall were a nicer experience, said Pappas, a vice president and private banker at JP Morgan Chase who has quietly worked to improve the area, more people would drive there.
But not if the graffiti isn't cleaned up, he said.
"I just have absolutely no tolerance for graffiti," Pappas said as he drove his car down 88th Street recently, slowing often to point out trouble spots. "I wince every time I see it."
He lives on 74th Avenue between 88th Street and Woodhaven Boulevard in a pocket of eastern, or upper, Glendale that boasts some of the area's nicest homes, many of them built in the Tudor style with small front yards and ample parking.
When United Associates Homes developed several blocks in the area in the 1920's, an original brochure shows, they billed the neighborhood as Forest Hills Crest, advertising comfortable homes and the nearby Long Island Rail Road station, 17 minutes by train from the city.
The area has retained its charm since being built up (though the LIRR stop no longer exists), but Pappas said the blighted stretch of 88th Street between 77th and 74th avenues is dragging the neighborhood down.
The stretch includes a desolate eyesore of a railroad crossing, several small businesses consistently tagged with spray paint and an empty lot slated to become a community garden. In an elaborate ceremony elected officials broke ground on the farm in the summer of 2009, but it remains completely barren today.
To brighten things up, Pappas - with no fanfare, using backdoor channels - requested new trees and lampposts from the city. Last year the Parks Department planted five trees on his block. The lampposts have been approved by the Department of Transportation as part of a larger project and are on their way.
Pappas called them small measures, but ones that "make a little bit of a difference" towards improving the quality of life for himself and his neighbors. He hopes to see the railroad crossing at 76th Avenue cleaned up also.
The neighborhood's problems start with graffiti, however, and there's a lot to work with.
The front of Albert and Harold's auto service store on 88th Street, diagonally opposite P.S. 113's new annex, is covered in tags. So is the next building, a long, squat structure belonging to the Long Island Tinsmith Supply Company.
Farther north, recurring graffiti on a building owned by the entity Cosmetic Components was the subject of a letter written by Congressman Anthony Weiner in October of 2008. In his letter Rep. Weiner asked the building's owner to put up lighting to discourage would-be taggers.
More than a year later, there are no new lights, just more graffiti.
The problem has attracted the attention of local officials as well. By one account, Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley personally helped repaint one fence on the street that vandals refused to leave be.
So far these efforts have had little impact in deterring graffiti vandals.
Kathy Masi, president of the Glendale Civic Association, said in fact there's little anyone can do to pressure property owners to join the fight against graffiti vandals; they must sign a waiver allowing a community board-run graffiti removal squad to repaint their property after its tagged.
If they don't, said Masi, and don't clean the graffiti themselves, it just stays there.
"Graffiti is always a concern," said Gary Giordano, district manager of Community Board 5. Giordano hears complaints on the issue from residents of Glendale and other communities at nearly every monthly board meeting.
Perhaps the most effective way to control the graffiti is through law enforcement, but Masi and Pappas both contend the 104th Precinct doesn't direct enough resources towards policing eastern Glendale. "We really don't get enough attention up here," said Masi, who lives in the area.
In an August 2009 letter to Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, Pappas even suggested redistricting the 104th and 112th precincts to give the latter control of eastern Glendale.
Less than one month latter, Pappas received a reply from the 104th's Deputy Inspector, Keith Green.
Green wrote that the precinct is committed to improving the quality of life for its residents. "All the police officers of the 104th Precinct," wrote Green, "are constantly attempting to identify and apprehend graffiti vandals."

Press Releases
Hardee's To Offer Its Most Decadent Burger Yet
May 14, 2008
Chain's New Prime Rib Thickburger® Bucks the Discounting Trend of Competitors
ST. LOUIS, Mo. – May 14, 2008 – Flying in the face of conventional thinking yet again, today Hardee's®announced that it is thumbing its nose at the current value menu movement by rolling out the ultimate premium burger, the Prime Rib Thickburger®. The new Thickburger marks the chain's latest foray into its highly successful "meat-as-a-condiment" menu development strategy and is the most high-end one yet.
"We've never been ones to follow the fast-food herd mentality," said Brad Haley, Hardee's EVP of Marketing. "So, while other places are hopping on the value bandwagon and, thus, promoting their smallest and lowest-quality menu items, we'll keep doing what we do best by giving our customers what they really crave: big, delicious, premium-quality burgers. And, the new Prime Rib Thickburger is our most decadent Thickburger ever since it's a charbroiled, one-third pound, 100% Black Angus beef patty topped with thinly-sliced prime rib, horseradish sauce, Swiss cheese, and grilled onions on a warm Ciabatta roll. You can even request a cup of au jus for dipping," Haley added. "At a suggested selling price of $4.49, that's our idea of a good 'value burger.'"
The Prime Rib Thickburger small combo, featuring Hardee's Natural-Cut Fries and a drink, will be sold at participating restaurants for $6.49. Prices may vary.
Hardee's Food Systems, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of CKE Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE: CKR) of Carpinteria, Calif. As of its fiscal 2008 fourth quarter ended Jan. 28, 2008, CKE Restaurants, Inc., through its subsidiaries, had a total of 3,067 franchised, licensed or company-operated restaurants in 42 states and in 13 countries, including 1,141 Carl's Jr. restaurants and 1,926 Hardee's restaurants.

Your morning roundup for June 25, the day Wade Boggs introduces you to Deputy Stanley, a dimwitted yokel who does battle with Swamp Shark.
What we watched: One would think Andy Roddick's post-defeat controlled-anger press conference was the most intriguing television to come out of Britain yesterday. But, that one wasn't home trying to convince an infant that now was a good time to go to sleep so daddy could watch some Wimbledon. Which brings us to some alternative programming called "In the Night Garden," a modern televisual interpretation of a nursery rhyme picture book ... about a magical place that exists between waking and sleeping in a child's imagination."
There's some sort of shroomed-out pillow person being named Makka Pakka who uses something called an agga pang as soap and/or a sponge and rides a three-wheeled og-pog to get around the garden. Also, there's a swarm of miniature beings/people called the Pontipines who probably convince children that red ants are conversant beings. Tuesday's episode, called "The Ninky Nonk Wants a Kiss," will explore what happens when "Upsy Daisy is kissing everything in the garden. She kisses a tree, a flower and Igglepiggle, and she rides around the garden in the Ninky Nonk visiting and kissing people and things." Translation: Upsy Daisy is a total whore, so she's probably more entertaining than tennis anyway.
What we're watching: Speaking of Wimbledon, Federer and Djokovic are on today's schedule. So was Sharapova but she already tore through Zakopalova. Wozniacki too, over Gajdosova. And Nadal, who just smoked Muller. The Gold Cup finals between the EEUU and Mexico are on tonight, of course, but we'll get to that later.
There was no joy in Thrashersville: With the first pick in the 2011 NHL Draft, the Edmonton Oilers selected Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, center, from Red Deer. With the seventh pick, the Winnipeg Jets Vers. 2.011 selected Mark Scheifele, center, from Barrie. With the none-th pick, the Atlanta Thrashers brought that fellow in the picture a pain that only emptiness and nothingness can manufacture. [NHL] (Photo H/T WCCO, via Kyle S.)
Deep Thoughts with Patrick Cantlay: After shooting a course record 60 in the second round of the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands, the UCLA freshman said, "I was just trying to stay in the moment. As far as what I was doing, I was just trying to make good swings." [Hartford Courant]
Flop, Flop, Flopington D.C.: Charlie Davies got fined a $1,000 for a "blatant" dive that led to the penalty kick that led to his DC United side "earning" a draw against Real Salt Lake last week. The league said Davies's actions put "the game into disrepute." [Washington Post]
The Pride of Dodger Stadium: Here's video of an elegant woman taking a piss in a Dodger Stadium men's bathroom trough while drinking her beer. You're welcome, peedrink fetishists. [Cosby Sweaters]
The Tworldwide Leader in Sports: "It doesn't matter who Nikola Mirotic is, but it does matter that Twitter told us he was Bulls' property a good ten minutes before ESPN seemed to have a clue." [CBS Chicago]
Your freestyle canoe interlude:
"I'm thinking, 'Oh, God, this guy is going to die.'": USF lineman Danous Estenor strong. USF Danous Estenor help lift 1990 Cadillac Seville off of the tow-truck driver pinned underneath.
"I tried to lift the car, and when I first tried, it didn't budge. I backed up. I don't know. But I felt this energy come, and I lifted it. I don't know how, but somebody pulled him from the car." [St. Petersburg Times]
Two guys, one cup: "We all jumped out of our carts and went running up there pretty quick when we noticed there were no balls,'' Justin Pressnall said. "Greg [Bontrager]'s partner (Voran) got to the hole first and looked into the cup and saw both balls sitting in there.'' [Wichita Eagle]
We are all Dave McKenna CXXXVI: Here's your daily link to Dave McKenna's brilliant "Cranky Redskins Fan's Guide to Dan Snyder," which we'll be posting until that small, painful spot or bump on the franchise's collective skin quickly changes to a very painful bronze- or purple-colored patch that grows rapidly, breaks open, oozes fluid and results in deformity.
Today's Soccer Viewing Recommendations: The US/Mexico Gold Cup finals are on Fox Soccer Channel at 8:30 p.m. Futbol de la Copa Oro is on Univision at the same time. "They might as well have the game in Mexico. The only difference is Pasadena isn't at 7,000 feet." — Eric Wynalda. [Forbes]

We are heading into a landmark year for this historic brand, and Steve is going to be a big part of bringing Husky back to its premium status."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Lawler said. "I think the sky is the limit to where we can go with Husqvarna, and I'm very excited to be a part of the team.

Everyone will LOVE these tasty grill-tastic kebabs! And they'll never even know how many calories and fat grams you're saving 'em…
Grab a pack of wooden skewers, an assortment of your favorite veggies (onions, peppers, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes work great!), and some bite-sized lean protein (shrimp, scallops, chicken chunks, even tuna steak!). Soak the skewers in water for a few, while chopping your veggies. Load 'em up, alternating between veggies and the uncooked meat and fish. Now these babies are ready to be tossed on the grill! Spritz with some lemon, or flavor 'em with some of our great finds below...
While these go great with our sassy skewers, use these fabulous finds to zazzle up any BBQ item -- GUILT-FREE!
Lawry's Marinades - These are so good, it's kind of alarming. They come in oodles of flavor combos like Caribbean Jerk (which sounds like a mean Jamaican, but is actually a fruity, zesty party in a bottle), Teriyaki with Pineapple Juice, and Louisiana Red Pepper. Best of all, most are around 15 calories per tablespoon and fat-free! Use 'em on poultry, beef, seafood, veggies; you name it! Check 'em out!
Mrs. Dash Seasoning Blends - Each and every one of the Mrs.' blends is 100% salt-free & calorie-free! And these are no ordinary flavors either; experiment with Tomato Basil Garlic, Southwest Chipotle, and Italian Medley. We still, however, love the Original Blend best...
When you're at someone else's BBQ, your beverage choices may be limited. But before you give up and start guzzling the frozen margaritas (which can contain as much as 500 calories each!), try our clever Sangria-Seltzer Twist! Easy to assemble -- anywhere, anytime!
HG's Sangria-Seltzer Twist - Grab a glass and make a beeline for the fruit tray. No fruit tray? Hit up the bar for slices of orange, lemon, and lime. Give your favorite fruit wedges a little squeeze before dropping them into your glass. Add 1 oz. of liquor (rum or vodka is yummy) and top with calorie-free seltzer. If your party-throwers are winos, top your glass with a splash of red or blush wine. Now you've got a fancy, signature drink that only contains around 100 calories!
Wet and shiny foods- That means no mayo-soaked sides, dressing-doused salads, or oily appetizers. Dyin' for some of those sides? Casually drain the excess moisture off the plate, and use a paper towel to soak up the rest. You can even rinse coleslaw 'til the water runs clear if you can find a sink (you're better off trying this at your own home).
Be a pro! One thing we LOVE about BBQs and summer parties is the abundance of yummy lean & protein-packed foods. Load up your plate with your favorites. Need a lesson on your best on-the-grill bets? Veggie burgers & fat-free franks earn top honors. Grilled chicken comes in second. Burgers & full-fat franks are a last resort. And pair your choice with crisp veggies & salad, like some iceberg lettuce and juicy tomatoes, instead of a soggy bun! Then go condiment crazy with these low-cal choices—zesty mustard, ketchup, pickles, salsa, hot sauce, and light dressings (skip the mayo, BBQ sauce, and cheeses).
* The average BBQ meal contains 3,500 calories! That's at least 1,500 more calories than the average person should have in an entire day!
* In 2001, Americans consumed 7 billion hot dogs between Memorial Day and Labor Day alone! That's a collective 2,205,000,000,000 calories!
* One serving of BBQ pork ribs delivers 68 grams of fat and 1,360 calories! FYI…it'd take nearly 6 HOURS of post-BBQ clean up to burn off all those calories!
Today is the first day of Better Breakfast Month. Remember to eat BETTER b-fasts in September (and every month that follows). Try some oatmeal, an egg white scramble, or one of HG's super recipes...

As the school year is about to begin the shopping list usually begins with school supplies and the backpack to fit it all in. Don't fool yourself, the backpack is one of the first things people notice on a student so you want to be stylish, stand out from the crowd and at the same time you don't want one that will fall apart or be uncomfortable. BARE Backpacks solved that problem with their very cool and stylish line of backpacks that will leave your friends asking "where did you get that?"
BARE Backpacks came to fruition in 2011 and is based out of Portland, Oregon. This would have to be the perfect spot to be home to this urban backpack line and you can tell that the region really inspired the line. BARE Backpacks come in some beautiful looking earth tones with rustic leather trims and buckle closures giving it a relaxed and distressed look that you don't have to work to create. Of course you need room for your gadgets and BARE took care of that as the backpacks are equipped with a padded separate compartment for laptops and tablets, exterior cell phone pocket, and plenty of space for all other storage.
While these sound like they are going to cost you a bundle, they don't! They are a bargain, all of them coming in at under $70.00 and if you have been to some of the stylish mall stores you are going to be paying for less with their backpacks. They are nowhere near the quality of BARE.
BARE has three different backpacks and they come in a wide variety of colors. The Tailor backpack is made from the highest quality canvas, paired with a buckle closure and Vegan leather trim, perfect for running around your college campus. The Lido will do a little more for you when you get outdoors as it is a great update to the classic rucksack. A pull string entrance, paired with a durable canvas outer and magnetic snap closures make this stylish and easy to get in and out of. Finally the Brixton, almost what you would call the executive backpack. Amazingly stylish, this is an eye-catcher that is sleek looking while having a roomy main compartment and ample exterior pockets, more room than you can imagine.
This year no matter what your age or what your plans are, if a backpack is in your future I would take a look at BARE. It is likely to be your backpack of choice for years to come.

Toronto Magazine With South Asian Voice
By Daniel Ashwin Pillai
To celebrate reaching its tenth anniversary, Anokhi Magazine has released a special collector's edition featuring an illustrious group of South Asians in its "Prestige List."
The list includes actors, authors, singer songwriters, designers and journalists, all with South Asian roots, a community the Toronto-based magazine focuses on through features on fashion, beauty, lifestyle and entertainment.
Its founder and publisher Raj Girn, who was born in Leicester, U.K., spoke with The Wall Street Journal's India Real Time about the magazine, the significance of the "Prestige List," what it means to be a member of the South Asian community, and her peripatetic upbringing. Edited excerpts:
The Wall Street Journal: What has been the highlight for you during this past decade?
Raj Girn: Anokhi Magazine has really taught me about the power of believing, and that realization has been the true highlight. Especially in our culture, we are raised to dream big but we often fall into the typical cycles of life that are laid out for us by cultural expectations and by our parents. We are expected to go to school, get a good job, get married, start a family and then retire. In the process of dreaming big, very few of us actualize those dreams in the real world and we give in to what is expected of us.
Anything that I have done or achieved with Anokhi in these past 10 years is because I knew it was doable. No one could stop me from achieving it and that is a very big highlight.
WSJ: Your letter to readers in the first few pages of this collector's edition illustrates your stoic beliefs and determination. What helped you foster that relentless pursuit of success?
Ms. Girn: I have always believed that I was capable of anything. When you believe that you can, then the universe will put in your path people, opportunities, thoughts and actions that will allow you to accomplish these goals.
WSJ: In your message, you describe a moment in your childhood when you heard a biblical quote at a school assembly that really inspired you. Describe that moment.
Ms. Girn: The quote was, 'I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child, will never enter it' (Mark 10:15 NIV.) I am not a religious person, but a very spiritual one. It was the spiritual message behind this quote that I still stand by today. When we are young, we are not only up against our own personal growth, but with our cultural, social and familial expectations as well.
That quote said to me you don't have to be 'in the know' of everything before you actually take a step to accomplish something. It's about allowing yourself to completely open up your mind, experiences and senses to the unknown and allowing yourself to learn from it. When you know too much, you are defined and restricted by the rules and limitations of your knowledge. The greatest accomplishments in life come from the purest and most innocent places. If you have a childlike perspective, whether it is internal or external, professional or personal, you will have the capability to learn anything and be anything.
WSJ: What was your intention when you first started Anokhi? Has its growth exceeded your expectations?
Ms. Girn: I looked at Anokhi as a tool of communication for the South Asian community, which in many ways could only be accessed and achieved through a magazine format. A magazine can have as little or as many pages as you want, and in those pages my team and I have the freedom to discuss anything.
Today, we don't just have Anokhi Magazine, we have Anokhi Pulse TV, a digital space where we bring you the best from the global South Asian world, and we have 'Open Chest' - an online portal that contains all of Anokhi's most intimate one-on-one cover story interviews with influential celebrities from around the world.
WSJ: It seems that for you there is quite a strong connection with the South Asian community.
Ms. Girn: We are interconnected as a community when it comes to South Asians as families, individuals or as media. Through the magazine I foster an emotional and trusted relationship and connection to the people it speaks about and represents. That's very important to me.
WSJ: The magazine includes 'The Prestige List' comprised of names in the South Asian community from across the globe who you call 'game changers.' What's your definition of a Game Changer?
Ms. Girn: A 'game changer' is someone who in any industry has created a positive change, created a great impact and changed the rules. It's not about changing the game as a South Asian per se, it's bigger than that. Those who made it to the 'Prestige List' just happened to be South Asian. We are celebrating them in the tenth anniversary collector's edition because they are part of our community.
WSJ: The 'Prestige List' has some big names, one of them being Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra. How has Ms. Chopra changed the game in your eyes?
Ms. Girn: Priyanka Chopra is unique and an anomaly in our list. She's one of the very few people in the last decade who has been able to change the game and become the cream of the crop in all the industries that she's worked in. Most people are lucky if they can be very successful in any one chosen industry, very few of those people can exist on top of numerous. For Ms. Chopra, first it was the beauty world where she won the Miss World crown in 2000. Then she went to Bollywood for a film career, and is one of the most sought after actresses we have today. Now Ms. Chopra is breaking barriers in the music world where she is the single biggest mainstream South Asian artist launched in the history of Western Music. What can be bigger than all of this?
WSJ: There is one page in the magazine where global media personalities discuss the South Asian Identity. What is South Asian identity for you?
Ms. Girn: I am so proud that I was fortunate enough to be born into this culture at this time, and in this era of our global community's journey. In my opinion, the South Asian community is the richest, most diverse, most entrepreneurial, most historically artistic and creative community in the world.
WSJ: How would you define the space that Anokhi has created for itself in this past decade?
Ms. Girn: Previously there was always a political, social and at times gendered perspective that would frame stories about South Asians. In addition, these stories were being told by those who were not South Asian themselves. Before Anokhi, there wasn't a platform that told South Asian specific stories by South Asian people in a way that spoke to the community.
The great thing about Anokhi is that when there is a topic or issue that needs to be spoken about, we talk about it. Nothing is too taboo, too sexual, too historical, too outdated or too controversial for us. We take great pride in our approach.
WSJ: How do the next 10 years look?
Ms. Girn: The first 10 years was about building a strong foundation, and the next 10 years will be about seeing the leaves, fruits and flowers of this beautiful tree we have planted and grown.

Do you have a favorite female ancestor? One you are drawn to or want to learn more about? Write down some key facts you have already learned or what you would like to learn and outline your goals and potential sources you plan to check.
I meant to do this yesterday, but things just didn't go the way I planned.
Mary Edwards White Cannon married for the third and final time, Charles Barber Taylor December 27, 1847 in St. Louis, Missouri. He then took the role of father to 2 year old Elizabeth. In 1849 they had son Charles Edwards Taylor. The family of four traveled west with the Pioneers in 1850.
It was in April of 1865 on board the ship Belle Wood on his return from a 3 year mission in England that Charles met Martha Burrows. From various accounts of this passage, these two apparently shared a whirl wind romance. Now this didn't sit too well with me when I learned of it. His wife and children have been patiently awaiting his arrival back home to Utah and what does he do? He brings another woman home and marries her in polygamy! Charles and Martha were married 1866 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I have seen other accounts of this romance somewhere, but I can't seem to find them now.
Charles filed for divorce April 30, 1885 complaining that "Mary acquired the habit of drinking intoxicating liquors about the year 1860." He stated that "the habit grew upon her so that for his own welfare and happiness he separated himself from her in the year 1866 and has not lived with her in the marrital relations since." Gee, 1866 -- that's when he took his second wife. Go figure.
There's something about this whole divorce that seems strange. Why wait 25 years to get a divorce? Why bother getting divorced at all, just stay at your other wife's house. I find it hard to believe that Mary was an "habitual drunkard".
Here is my theory: Charles Taylor had money and other assets. It is my opinion after reading several articles about second wife Martha B. Taylor and law suits regarding his estate, that he filed the divorce so Martha would be recognized as the legal wife. I believe he did so with pressure from her. Mary never contested the divorce.
Mary was a strong, loving, and happy woman. I can sense this just by looking at her photo. She was also very talented. Below is a sample of her beautiful needle work.
One of the goals I have is learning more about her ancestry, which is kind of hard since her father never spoke to her again after she joined the Mormon Church and left England.
Her tombstone reads: A Devoted Mother, A Friend to the Poor, May she rest in peace.

City Manager Michael V. O'Brien's plan to address aggressive panhandling by making it unlawful for people to solicit money from motorists while standing in a public way received mixed reviews from city councilors last night.
While many councilors applauded the manager's intentions to put the clamps on panhandling, some panned the aspect of his plan that would also put an end to so-called "tag days" — a longstanding practice in the city in which representatives of charitable organizations and youth sports groups solicit donations from motorists at intersections.
Councilors made it clear they could not support the panhandling ordinance recommended by the manager if it also meant that "tag days" would be banned.
"I'm not prepared to support any item that would take away tag days," said District 3 Councilor George J. Russell, who pointed out that such fundraising efforts are important to many youth sports leagues, social service agencies and charities. "I'm not willing to support any item that takes away that (fundraising) ability for them."
Meanwhile, two city councilors — Councilor-at-Large Joseph C. O'Brien and District 4 Councilor Sarai Rivera — said they believe the manager's overall plan goes too far and would place another burden on an already stretched-thin Police Department.
Rather than having police go after panhandlers, they said they would like to see the city continue its outreach efforts to direct panhandlers to the appropriate resources, such as medical care, shelter, food, mental health services, substance abuse resources and workforce development.
"It's almost like calling a mechanic to do a plumber's job," Ms. Rivera said in reference to having police deal with panhandlers rather than social service workers. "There are some really deep rooted issues here. We've given (outreach efforts) only a few months; some of that work and outreach was doing well and we need to give it more time."
With no clear consensus on the matter, the council referred the manager's plan to its Public Health and Human Services and Municipal Operations committees for a joint hearing.
With the proliferation of panhandling in the city, the council asked Mr. O'Brien to come up with a plan to address the issue. He subsequently recommended a pair of ordinances intended to address aggressive panhandling and making it unlawful for people to solicit money from motorists while standing in a public way, walking in and out of traffic on a street or standing in a traffic island.
But City Solicitor David M. Moore said any city ordinance or regulation of solicitation on public streets and sidewalks would survive under the First Amendment only if it is narrowly tailored to achieve a compelling government interest.
As a result, he said, allowing tag day solicitation while banning other solicitation would create a distinction based on the content of the speech or nature of the speaker and would not survive scrutiny under the Constitution.
While some members of the public last night argued that the panhandling ordinance was unfairly targeted at the poor, some councilors said banning "tag days" would similarly be a war on those socio-economic groups that rely on those fundraising efforts.
District 5 Councilor William J. Eddy said there are times when panhandling efforts in the city look very organized, so organized in fact that "it almost looks like Panhandlers Inc."
Councilor-at-Large Michael J. Germain, meanwhile, reminded his colleagues that it was the council that asked the manager to develop a plan.
"This City Council said we have a panhandling problem in this city and asked the city manager to do something," Mr. Germain said. "He initiated an outreach program, but it didn't work. The manager has done what we asked. It's incumbent upon this body to support the manager."

The speaker will be Stephanie L. Sherman, professor in the Department of Human Genetics at Emory University in Atlanta. She will explore how fragile X syndrome affects women, both as patients and as cargivers for their family members with fragile X-related disorders. The lecture will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 11, from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the UC Davis MIND Institute auditorium at 2825 50th St. in Sacramento. The event is free and open to the public, and no reservations are required.
Sherman will discuss the clinical consequences of the fragile X premutation among women and emphasize the need for further study of interventions to ensure that women, who are at the heart of families with fragile X-associated disorders, can themselves have full and healthy lives and, at the same time, facilitate better lives for their family members.
All mothers of children with fragile X syndrome carry a mutation in the FMR1 gene, which increases the risk of at least three clinically significant manifestations among women.
First, during transmission from parent to child, this allele can expand to the full mutation, leading to fragile X syndrome. This expansion only occurs during transmission of the mutation from mother to child, not from father to child.
Second, the premutation leads to an increased risk for fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI), a disorder that can lead to sub-fertility and to other clinical consequences associated with early estrogen deficiency.
Third, the premutation is associated with fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS), a neurodegenerative disorder that is more common in men who carry the premutation but also occurs in women.
Other manifestations of the premutation may also exist, possibly exacerbated by genetic and environmental factors. Since women with the premutation play a central role in the lives of their family members, commonly caring for a child and for a parent with fragile X-related disabilities, their good health and well-being is crucial.
The MIND Institute Resource Center, specializing in information and resources relating to neurodevelopmental disorders and related conditions, is open one hour before and 30 minutes after each presentation.
