Why Is the Recovery Slow?
Here are some news stories you could find in Friday's Wall Street Journal:
- The Federal Reserve is holding an international conference of central bankers to reassure themselves that their "easy‐money policies" are working and won't cause too much inflation this time.
- The IRS is ramping up audits of the most successful people in the economy. If you make more than $5 million in a year, you can pretty much expect a time‐consuming audit.
- "Federal regulators are preparing a drive to tell workers at nonunionized businesses they have many of the same rights as union members, a move that could prompt more workers to complain to employers about grievances ranging from pay and work hours to job safety and management misconduct."
- "The Department of Energy has placed nearly one‐third of its clean‐energy loan portfolio on an internal 'watch list' for possible violations of terms or other concerns, according to a copy of the list obtained by The Wall Street Journal, highlighting how such concerns have spread beyond the now‐bankrupt Solyndra LLC."
- The European Union is beefing up its permanent bailout fund to keep failed businesses alive.
- States are circling Amazon and other online retailers, about to pounce with new taxes.
- The Labor Department has "stepped up pressure" on PulteGroup, demanding thousands of records on its contracts with employees and subcontractors.
That's one day's stories about new government assaults on wealth creation and new political transfers of wealth. And so maybe it's no surprise that the paper also carries these stories:
- FedEx scaled back its forecasts for domestic and global growth.
- "New signs of a slowing global economy rattled investors on Thursday and put stocks on pace for their worst week this year."
- Burton Malkiel writes that, while stocks don't look as bad as bonds, "we are likely to be in a low‐return environment for some time to come."
Note that few if any of these stories made headlines, or even appeared in other newspapers. Many voters know about Obamacare, the massive 2009 stimulus bill, and Cash for Clunkers. Many fewer realize the tax tsunami planned for 9 months from now. Hardly anyone knows about the costs of stepped‐up regulation and regulatory enforcement. But everyone wonders why the recovery is so slow and unemployment remains so high. Just read the papers — in detail.

The increasing adoption of cloud-based security services is an ongoing trend at RSA this year, and cloud security service provider Qualys chose the conference to announce a host of new modules for their QualysGuard cloud security platform and to take the wraps of their new QualysGuard Web Application Firewall (WAF) service.
I sat with Qualys CTO Wolfgang Kandek earlier this morning at RSA to discuss the new offering, and asked him to explain the relationship between the new QualysGuard WAF and the IronBee open-source WAF that Qualys released last year.
"We took a lot of our learnings from the IronBee project and applied them to the new QualysGuard WAF," Kandek said. "Our goal was to create a WAF that our customers can deploy in front of their web servers for improved reliability and performance." Kandek added that Qualys only requires a DNS change to activate the service, which can then begin screening web traffic for harmful elements.
The new QualysGuard WAF is similar in many respects to existing cloud security and availability services like CloudFlare and Incapsula. Like those two services, the QualysGuard WAF sits in front of protected web servers and screens web traffic to protected sites for attack attempts and other malicious data. It can also improve site performance by using content optimization, caching, and data compression.
In related Qualys news, the firm announced a number of updates to their QualysGuard cloud platform, including a malware detection service, dynamic asset tagging, IT-GRC workflows for auditing and policy compliance, a zero-day alert service, and a new virtual scanner appliance. All of these aforementioned updates and modules are available immediately, while the QualysGuard WAF will be available in limited beta form in Q2 of 2012.

Whenever the football is in Michael Hughes� hands, he�s always looking to get in the end zone. And nearly every time he touches the ball, he makes a big-time play for the New Bern Bears.
Whenever the football is in Michael Hughes� hands, he�s always looking to get in the end zone. And nearly every time he touches the ball, he makes a big-time play for the New Bern Bears.
Whether it was with his legs, or arm, the junior dual-threat quarterback was a threat to score at any moment.
Hughes passed for nearly 2,000 yards with 14 touchdowns. He also ran for 1,224 yards and 25 scores.
Hughes is the Sun Journal�s Most Outstanding Offensive Player of the Year for 2013.
�I felt like I did pretty well. I gave it my all and left it all on the field every game, and that�s all the coach ever asks us for,� said Hughes.
Hughes recently competed at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl Combine and was selected to the NCPreps 4A All-State Team as an athlete.
He already has 12 major Division I college scholarship offers.
�I work out every day of the week. I�m dedicated, and that�s one of the reasons I stopped playing basketball, just so I can focus on football,� Hughes said. �I am working hard every day. I want to make it to the next level.�
Hughes took over the reigns as New Bern�s varsity quarterback following the graduation of Josh Taylor.
The 6-foot athlete, who played wide receiver the previous season, learned a lot by being New Bern�s signal-caller for the first time.
�I kept working hard and got better and better as the season went on,� Hughes said. �I have to make smarter plays. This year, I should have thrown the ball away a few more times and I just have to learn from my mistakes.
�I will watch film over the summer to see what I need to do to get better.�
The biggest adjustment Hughes had to make was throwing the football and finding a connection with his wide receivers.
�I started getting comfortable throwing to my receivers,� Hughes said. �I knew they could catch the ball and go up and get it. That helped me become more of a dual-threat quarterback.�
New Bern (9-4) had a lethal running game with Hughes and senior Cody Purdie (1,261 yards, 10 touchdowns).
He also hooked up for big plays with key receivers Deauntae Grimes, Theron Noble, Diondre Pool and Khalil Simpson.
�When I am passing the ball, I feel pretty confident going to my receivers,� Hughes said. �I�ve got that experience at playing full-time quarterback so I think I will be pretty comfortable going into next year�s season.�
Hughes will head into next season, his senior year, with some astronomical expectations. After leading the Bears to the co-championship of the Eastern Carolina Conference and a trip to the second round of the playoffs, he loses nearly all of his offensive weapons.
�It�s going to be pretty big, and hopefully not too stressful,� Hughes said. �It�s going to be tough. We will find out in the summer. I am not really sure yet, but I think we will be all right.�

NC woman found dead in car days after troopers tow it
Trooper placed on paid leave pending investigation
The body of a missing North Carolina woman has been found inside her wrecked car, days after it was ordered towed to an impound lot by the state Highway Patrol.
Carolyn Ann Watkins was reported missing Monday, three days after her crashed 2000 Pontiac was discovered in a ditch off Swift Creek Road near Smithfield. An accident report filed Friday by Trooper Marlon Williams mistakenly indicated that no driver was at the scene.
The patrol had a local towing company move the car to its lot for storage, where it remained with the 62-year-old Clayton woman inside until her body was found inside late Monday. It is not yet clear when Watkins died.
Public Safety Commissioner Frank Perry has promised a thorough investigation. Williams has been placed on paid leave.

Call me greedy, but I'm not the only one. In fact, I was inspired by the good folks at Disney, who filed a trademark on "SEAL Team 6" just two days after members of the Navy special operations unit killed Osama bin Laden. According to press reports, the Disney filing covers clothing, footwear, headgear, toys, games and "entertainment and educational services." Look for the "SEAL Mission Adventure Ride" to make its debut at Disney theme parks just as soon as the "imagineers" can jin one up.
Oddly enough, I was at a Disney property when the trademark filing was announced. A fellow military retiree didn't really see anything wrong with the move, opining that Disney "does a lot for the armed forces." You can say that about a lot of companies--and with the exception of The Mouse, they aren't trying to cash in on the exploits of our military heroes.
Of course, there's nothing illegal about Disney's move. You could even call it shrewd. But it also strikes me as incredibly tone-deaf. A company that cultivates its pubic image so carefully made a crass money grab, with little regard for the possible public-relations fall-out. And, as the execs at Disney understand, image means a lot in the entertainment business. Families who flock to the company's theme parks and resorts, buy tickets for its movies and watch its TV channels might have second thoughts--if they thought Disney was ripping off the troops.
That's why I'm surprised the company didn't announce that a chunk of its SEAL profits would be donated to various charities supporting special forces operators who are killed or maimed in the line of duty. Apparently, Disney didn't have enough time to work out a partnership before filing the trademark. Evidently, the suits were afraid someone might beat them to the punch. You can also surmise that Disney sees another jackpot in the SEAL Team 6 brand, and isn't anxious to share the profits.
Equally stunning is the public reaction--or lack thereof. So far, I haven't see a single op-ed column or TV commentary condemning the trademark filing, or asking about Disney's support for the brave men who made this latest windfall possible. And no one is talking about boycotting Disney over this apparent slight. But that tends to happen when less than 1/2 of one percent of the nation's citizens wear the uniform, and for many families', their last connection to the military is through a grandfather or great-grandfather who served in World War II.
We're also wondering about "corporate social responsibility," that favored term of the life, often applied to companies accused of old-fashioned greed, ripping off the public or exploiting their employees. Clearly, such demands don't extend to conglomerates that merely capitalize on the military for fun and profit.
So maybe Disney got it right. Cash in on the heroism of SEAL Team 6, make another mint, and no need to worry about bad p.r. That's why I'm trademarking all those Air Force terms. Sooner or later, someone will want tennis shoes, sunglasses or a T-shirt with the words "Air Force" and that super-cool logo. You see, this is a long-term investment, since the USAF isn't exactly a hot brand right now. The same week the SEALs double-tapped bin Laden, the "air arm" was marking its own achievement: dedicating an area at the Air Force Academy reserved for those who practice "earth-centered religions."
Obviously, the brand needs some work.

As you know by now, I have a job outside of writing this blog. I help people buy and sell condos/homes just like many other brokers in our city.
I think I do a pretty good job keeping UCS informative without using it as a platform to consistently plug my own business. On that note, from time to time, I like to post when I list a new property for my sellers. I will be posting a "Just Listed" on a special property tomorrow. I'm meeting my photographer in the morning and will monitor final walk through before we go "Live" tomorrow afternoon. This particular property is in a building very familiar to most of you. The Cosmopolitan.
The unit sits on the 24th floor and has an amazing view through the wall of windows. It's just over 1300sf and is in great condition (3 years old). I won't share to much more, but I will tell you that it is going to be listed at a very good price. In order to justify why I think its priced well, I pulled a report tonight with the following parameters:
- Status is 'Active'
- 2 bedroom
- Between 1200-1450sf
- 2005 or new construction
- Concrete & steel or quality construction
The list was narrowed down to 12 units(see below):
- 4 units at 2200 Westlake
- 4 units at Enso
- 2 units at Olive 8
- 1 unit at Marselle
- 1 unit at The Cosmopolitan
Here is the list of the units:
Now let me make my point.
This 24th floor unit, hitting the market tomorrow, will be almost $100 less per square foot than active inventory shown above. Also, close to $140,000 less then the average asking price of comparable units (see list above). In addition, this 24th floor 2 bedroom unit will be a minimum of 9 floors higher than the units pictured below. So, in a long way of making my point, it should be quite obvious that this unit is going to be a pretty good deal. In fact, the pictures below were taken from the unit. As you can see, you are looking "down" at the other available units. I've highlighted 8 of those units below. It shows the unit number, price and cost per square foot at the current asking price.
Interested in seeing it? You have two choices; either pay attention to when it goes live tomorrow, or contact me for more info or to schedule a private showing.

Keenan Allen has been one of the biggest reasons that the Chargers were able to overcome the loss of wide receivers Danario Alexander and Malcom Floyd to injuries this season.
The third-round pick leads the team with 967 receiving yards and ranks third with 66 catches, numbers that seemed like an unlikely outcome when Allen started the year on the lower rungs of the depth chart. Allen didn't even play in the first game of the season, something he said made him think about making an abrupt career change.
"After I didn't play after that first game, I was about another snap away of not playing from quitting," Allen said, via U-T San Diego. "[I wasn't] living up to my expectations of starting. I've never been a role player-type guy. Not easy at all. … I've never had to do it before. I never had to adjust."
A phone call to his mother helped convince him not to go back to school to pursue a career in the music business, which should put her in line for a pretty good Mother's Day gift next May from both Allen and the Chargers. Allen is 45 yards away from setting a Chargers rookie record and it's unlikely he'll be on the sideline again because of a coach's decision any time soon.

US Intelligence Officials on Alert After Terror Plot Uncovered [VIDEO]
After the death of Osama bin Laden earlier this year, the man who took his place as al Qaeda's chief, Ayman al-Zawahiri, vowed to avenge bin Laden's death with an attack on the US.
Now, intelligence officials believe at least three people entered the country in August with the intent of launching a vehicle-borne attack against Washington, DC or New York around the time of the anniversary of 9/11.
Although the names of the individuals are not yet known, at least one is thought to be an American citizen, and officials believe the suspects traveled to the US from the tribal areas of Pakistan.
At a Thursday evening press conference, Janice Fedarcyk, FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the New York Office, said, "Al Qaeda has shown an interest in important dates and anniversaries. In this instance it is accurate that there is credible, specific but unconfirmed information."
New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who said the NYPD was already on alert because of the upcoming anniversary, added, "We do live in a world where we must take these threats seriously and we certainly will."
A bulletin sent to 18,000 law enforcement agencies around the country by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security noted al Qaeda might see 9/11 as a high-profile date on which to seek revenge for the death of bin Laden and other al Qaeda figures.

Emma Stone Talks About Her Experiences With Ghosts on 'Letterman' [VIDEO]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Emma Stone is a big believer in the supernatural — and her late grandfather even communicates with her family, the actress revealed during a recent appearance on 'The Late Show With David Letterman.'
When the host asked her if she has ever had an experience with the "metaphysical," Stone was quick with her response.
The actress revealed that she is familiar with "things materializing," she said — like coins mysteriously turning up.
"There's a long family history with quarters," she revealed, explaining that while although she never met him, "My [late] grandfather leaves quarters. It's him. It's absolutely him. You guys, it's him."
And while Letterman was skeptical about ghosts, pointing out that their existence has never been proven, Stone explained that that's what she finds so amazing about it.
"That's the joy of it," she said. "It's not a logical thing. It's magical… like ectoplasm."
"Ectoplasm is a milky substance that…" she managed to get out before the audience bursts into laughter. "That indicates that someone has been there," she finished, laughing at the crowd's dirty minds.

I am 21 years old, and I was not raised in a church, or told to say my prayers before I wen to bed at night. To be honest, you wouldn't have known god had a presence in my childhood home at all except for a small wooden cross on the wall. My father and step mother are by self declaration Catholic, though they have never attended Mass once in my life that I know of..now on the other side of the family my mother and step father are very religious; church every sunday, prayer, etc.

Unsure of age or where it comes from. Anybody ? Underneath fabric is nail tacked all the way around. Curious also of its worth.

A second patent pool is now open for business and touting licences to anyone making devices featuring next-gen mobile broadband LTE. It's hoped this will simplify the design process and make LTE devices cheaper, eventually.
The new pool comes from Sisvel, which bought 350 essential telecommunications patents from Nokia earlier this year and has combined those with properties from EADS, the China Academy of Telecommunication Technology and France Telecom among others. It is asking for €0.99 per handset to use the protected designs, which is a bargain compared to the $3 Via Licensing is billing for its aggregation of intellectual property.
Patent pools, formed when companies get together to license their tech rather than sue each other into oblivion, are essential to most modern technologies: the ownership of something as simple as the MP2 codec is still covered by more than 500 patents (a similar number have expired) spread across 14 companies, so anyone creating MP2 software will be pleased to know they can license them all in one go from the MPEG LA patent pool.
The MPEG LA was in the frame for an LTE pool at one point, but seems to have dropped out of the running for the moment, leaving Via Licensing and Sisvel to recruit intellectual property holders and remind everyone that the patents they manage are "essential" - meaning that it is impossible to make a device complying with the LTE standard without paying the requisite fees.
Most manufacturers will end up paying both fees, although they are generally able to go direct to the patent holders instead, ideally engaging in some patent trading rather than cash payments. Sisvel's purchase of Nokia's LTE patent pile precludes that.
The essential patents are also covered by fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) agreements, which require them to be licensed in a tolerable fashion and this is generally what the pools do.
More damaging are patents owed by companies not signed up to FRAND and yet end up being "essential" to a communications standard - such as those owned by IPCom which continues to battle Nokia for licence fees.
IPCom has no interest in FRAND or cross-licensing as its stated business model is to squeeze all the money it can from the patents purchased it from Bosch. Sisvel and Via Licensing are both trying to reduce the complexity of patent negotiations, although their rates and portfolios do demonstrate how intellectual property makes up an increasing proportion of the price we pay for our toys. ®

(ii) A collection of jointly Gaussian random variables are uncorrelated if and only if they are independent. Is it possible to give a geometric interpretation for this?

The American actor will star as a man of letters with a gambling problem in a remake of the 1974 film, Deadline.com reports.
Loosely based on the short story of the same title by Fyodor Dostoyevksy, the 1974 film starred James Caan in the role of Alex Freed, a professor who develops a crippling gambling addiction. The plot follows the protagonist as his compulsion for high-stakes gaming destroys his relationships and his self-worth. The original film was directed by Czech filmmaker Karel Reisz.
In the forthcoming reboot of The Gambler, Mark Wahlberg will play the titular high roller under the direction of Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes). William Monahan, a writer known for his contributions to The Departed and Oblivion, will provide the screenplay. – AFP RELAXNEWS

YRSCommercial, hospitality photographer Inverness. For each commission we try and find all the aspects that make the hospitality experience - the use of furnishings perhaps, the lighting, the table layout and then exploit this to create an image that sells your business and investment.
With hotels and guest-house or BNBs, we try to show space in relation to the experience - so no cramped looking little rooms! As in our interior photography, no on camera flash is used so it's a case of wheeling in the studio lights, continuous lighting and any bounce boards we need to get the lighting right but one thing... we do not light the interiors like a sales leaflet for a house for sale.
We like the warm tones, the shadows in the right place, the gentle glow of expensive down-lighting! If you hit it with too much studio flash you get a very nice bright picture great for property sales particulars but not hospitality. We try and sell the experience at all times and all the hard work and investment of our clients.

Apparently Australian Kmarts are getting a spider-man set with an anti-venom repaint. Anyone here in Australia? I would like a set.
Only person I recall from Aus is Hemish.
Whoops, it appears so. I hadn't seen all of those before, but had seen a Spidey and Nova which looked at least similar in articulation and scale. I guess more like previous Spidey 6" lines was a better way to say it than Legends. Seeing those in your post though, they do seem a little more animated-looking.

Tonight at Griffin Park, Brighton and Hove Albion will trot out onto the pitch to try and maintain their push for promotion into the Championship. For myself, and I suspect 2,000 other Brighton fans that were there that day, a trip to Brentford will always evoke memories of an FA Cup tie in 1987 and that goal, my favourite ever goal.
It was scored by Garry Nelson, a player who graced the Albion shirt with his silky skills for 144 appearances scoring 47 goals. Goldstone Gaz was, and remains to this day, a Seagulls legend. He has since gone on to become a best-selling author with his two books Left Foot Forward and Left Foot in the Grave?
So why was this goal so special? The fact that it was scored before the days of the internet and wasn't even televised (imagine that kids), means I might have embellished its greatness over the years. So let's not take my word for it. I went down to Brighton Library this week to see what the local paper, the Argus, had to say about it at the time. John Vinicombe (of course John Vinicombe) was in the press box:
Nelson rated his 68th minute strike as the best of his nine years in the game, and that is saying something. Albion were shading the second half when he took the ball off Keith Jones just inside Brentford's half and then proceeded to bamboozle no fewer than five defenders before unleashing that rocket-powered left foot. The ball must have been a blur to Gary Phillips as it tore into the top corner."Every time I looked up there was another defender coming at me, and I was thinking about the rollocking I would get from the lads if I missed after all that," said Nelson. Instead, the fans spilled on to the pitch to salute a memorable goal.
God bless John Vinicombe.
And God bless Garry Nelson, because fast forward twenty four years and EFW caught up with him after a recent skiing trip to discuss his memories of that strike:
"think the game was very even going into the last half-hour. I remember nicking the ball off Keith Jones (later to become a team-mate of mine at Charlton and a very good team-player!!) and turning away from him I suddenly had one opponent that I managed to go round in the centre-box, another one and then another one – they were set up almost like a set of cones on a training ground dribbling exercise!!! Having broken clear of them I then had a run at the retreating centre-half. Threw in a couple of shimmies which slightly unbalanced him on the edge of the box and was then into the penalty box but at a fairly tight angle!! Screaming at me throughout to my right was Kevin Bremner asking (polite version) me to pass as he was in a great position and certainly more central. In for a penny in for a pound with the adrenaline pumping decided instead to shoot, possibly risking my short-term health prospects if I missed. Happily I caught it an absolute peach and it flew past Gary Philips at the near post. It wasn't the most important goal I ever scored but in my 156 first team goals I rate it my best! I think these days I may have got a yellow card for prompting a pitch invasion but the fans reaction to the goal was almost as good as the feeling of scoring – they went crazy!!! I also remember that a Brentford regular sent me their local newspaper which sportingly acknowledged it as possible the best goal ever scored at Griffin Park by a non-Bees player!"
Once you've wiped the tears away from your eyes, and seeing as I made the effort to go down to the library; do you want to know what else was in the local paper on Monday, November 16, 1987? Oh go on then, whilst we're about reminiscing:
- On that same day young Argus whippersnapper Andy Naylor reported on the local 'star match' of the day at Nyewood Lane, where a below strength Bognor Regis went down 3-0 to Torquay in the FA Cup. It was a game that "ended in disgrace on the terraces," Six supporters were arrested after violent clashes, and a detective needed treatment for a broken nose. Some officers had their uniforms ripped as 40 Bognor fans tried to storm the Torquay enclosure.
- Elsewhere, Crawley Town beat Shepshed Charter 4-2 in the Beazer Homes League. And Worthing saw off Wolverton in the Vauxhall-Opel League. In that same division, Lewes went close to causing a major upset against the league leaders Grays.
- David Pleat was due to meet officials of struggling Greek soccer champions Olympiakos amid reports he might join them. He'd just quit Spurs after allegations concerning his private life.
- In the TV listings; Coronation Street's Jack Duckworth was 'still mortified that his mother-in-law Amy Burton (played by Fanny Carbey) is to be their new lodger'. Subtitles were available in Oracle. The prime time offering on BBC was a show called 'Whatever Next?' with Noel Edmonds. No me neither.
- The FA Cup, football's oldest competition, was on the brink of surrendering to the money men with the football association believed to be close to finalising a £12m sponsorship deal with a brewery.
- Back to the Albion, and we'd just drawn Northampton away in the next round of the cup which "posed serious problems for travelling supporters," Under the membership scheme there was a restricted area at the County Ground for 600 standing and only 200 seats. Albion's away following at the time was in the region of 1,500-2,000 and Secretary Ron Pavey said "It's a very tough draw and just about the worst we could have had"
- Good news regarding Steve Penny on our wing though. He was due back in training in six weeks following an operation to remove a foreign body under the left knee cap. Now that does sound painful.

A blueprint for high-volume, high-quality lung cancer screening that is detecting cancer earlier—and helping to save lives
Hospitals are under the gun, and insurers can help them — and themselves as well. Beginning in October 2012, hospitals will lose money for readmissions of Medicare beneficiaries within 30 days for a problem that was supposed to have been fixed at discharge. Initially, pneumonia, acute myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure will be the focus, but policymakers expect to add other conditions, such as COPD and stroke, to the list by 2015.
The hospital readmission problem, huge as it is, is part of an even bigger health care problem: poor transitions of care. "Insurers are well aware that they are throwing huge payments at patients that didn't get a medication list, at primary care physicians who didn't know their patient was discharged, at skilled nursing facilities that didn't know a diagnosis, and at families that are clueless," says the consultant Jaan Sidorov, MD, a member of MANAGED CARE's editorial board. "From a risk-bearing perspective, mishaps in the transitions — from ER, to inpatient, to ICU, back to inpatient, to skilled-nursing facility, to home, and all the permutations — are where poor communication and coordination result in huge amounts of unnecessary spending and patient harm."
That the 30-day mark is so much the focus is no accident. "If you look at the literature and you look at trends with readmissions, there is a bell curve for the first 30 days," says Janet Tomcavage, RN, MSN, the vice president for health services at Geisinger Health Plan. "It starts to go up on day three or four, peaks from day 15 to day 16, and then comes back down. But there's still this elevated risk of readmissions for that first 30 days post-discharge." (For more on how Geisinger handles transitions, see "Geisinger's Embedded Nurses Improve Transitions,".)
The best part about smoothing transitions of care is that it is a problem that can be solved right away. "You are not going to have to throw tons of dollars to do this," says Cheri Lattimer, the executive director of the National Transition of Care Coalition. "And you're not waiting for new technology or new medication. You're trying to figure out, How do I communicate better."
Medical directors at health plans, says Lattimer, should ask themselves how transitions of care take place among providers in their networks. "We're talking about every time the patient and his family and caregiver move from one level of care, one practitioner to the next," says Lattimer.
Plans should review how transfers from the PCP to the specialist are handled. "Are there any type of measurements that the health plan is actually looking at? Is that information sent to that appointment prior to that patient showing up? When they see the specialist, are the patients prepared to share information? Is there any type of report that goes back to the PCP? In other words, are they communicating to each other? In those two visits, from primary to specialty, there is a chance that there is a medication change, there is a treatment change, or that there are other services to be provided with other specialists."
Chad Boult, MD, MPH, MBA, a professor in the department of health policy and management at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, led a randomized controlled trial of a program called Guided Care, in which smoothing transitions played a prominent role.
"Transitions are very important, as evidenced by the priorities the nurses were given," says Boult. "They were told that when their patients were in the hospital, that was their top priority. They would visit them in the hospital, but most important, they would make a home visit the day of, or the day after, the person went home from the hospital." (The nurses in Guided Care coordinate the treatment for multimorbid older people.)
The nurses made sure that everyone understood what medications to take and what food to eat. "They also got them back to see their primary doctor within days so that the doctor who knew them could pick up the reins again."
Nutrition plays a vital role in readmissions, says Joel V. Brill, MD, the chief medical officer of Predictive Health, a population health management company. Brill cites a 2009 study in the New England Journal of Medicine. "That analysis shows a number of conditions where nutrition-related or metabolic issues contribute to readmissions," says Brill. "There are a significant number of seniors who have limited resources."
Boult adds that "It is important to focus on the right patients. In other words, not every patient who goes home from the hospital needs one of these nurse coaches. The ones who need help are the ones receiving complex care, the ones that are at greatest risk for post-discharge chaos and early readmission because they're confused about what to do. It's targeting — key word there — identifying the right patients while they're in the hospital and investing transitional resources in them. Then you get cost savings. If you were to assign transition coaches to everybody in the hospital, there would be no cost savings."
While keeping up with what's going on with every member of a plan is an admirable goal, insurers must also be aware of how such an effort might affect premiums, says David Clark, RPh, MBA, vice president for pharmacy benefit management at the Regence Group, a Blues plan that covers two million people in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Utah.
Many health plans have discharge planners, Clark notes. "That's fairly common," he says. "Whether we're hitting all of the right ones yet, or not, I don't know. All plans try to use their data to try and figure out which patients have the highest probability [of readmission]. Our systems use models to identify which patients have the highest risk and we do focus on those. As we work with hospitals, we need to share our models and methodology."
"The at-risk person might need a home visit in three days, while the person who isn't at risk might not need a visit for 30 or 60 days, or at all," says Brill.
Health plan medical directors in particular must also be aware that in this litigious society, providers may hesitate to pinpoint the person responsible for a poor transition of care. "Short of malpractice reform, this type of concern will never go away," says Brill.
Glen R. Stream, MD, MBI, president-elect of the American Academy of Family Physicians and a practicing family physician, says health plans can help by ensuring that information keeps one step ahead, that the patient's next physician will have everything he needs to continue treatment.
"The patient might not have an appointment to see me for a week, but the day after his discharge, he has a question or an issue," says Stream. "If I don't have the information in the moment, I'm impaired in my ability to give the best care." (For more on the AAFP's reaction, see "Long Way to Go?" below.)
Sam Ho, MD, executive vice president and chief medical officer for UnitedHealthcare, says that his plan takes predictive modeling to the patient level, looking at a patient's hospitalization and claims history.
"There is also a component related to risk scoring and stratification of patients who are already in the hospital who are most at risk for hospital readmissions, and we use both of those data sets to produce more intensive and comprehensive discharge planning while patients are still in the hospital," says Ho. "This is all part of a readmission reduction program that we started in February 2008. We intensified it in early summer about a year ago to 2010."
To determine who may be at most risk for readmissions, the plan has devised a scale that's based on the top 10 diagnoses that point toward readmission. Both the predictive modeling and the risk scoring work well, says Ho, especially for Medicare patients.
Brill says, "What the plan brings to the table is the ability to use data to stratify the patients, identify who's at the greatest risk, and work collaboratively with the providers to focus their collective efforts on those who are the greatest risk for readmission. That helps you to utilize your resources most effectively."
Every regional medical director knows who his best physicians and hospitals are, says Brill. "You know which are innovative and which are responsive to new thoughts and new ideas — such as having a care coordinator in the physician's office who does patient outreach. You know which provide linguistically and culturally specific educational programs, or provide medication therapy management, or maintain hours at nights or on weekends to accommodate working people," says Brill.
"You know which of them are working with you to help their patients throughout the transitions of care.
"Focus on those systems, those hospitals, those physician groups that are most receptive and work with them to create your pilots and demos so you will have your success stories to share with others."
Commit to those partners who seem to get it, in other words. "Start small and launch a pilot," he says.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, along with the Society of Hospital Medicine and the University of Michigan, created the project BOOST (Better Outcomes for Older Adults through Safer Transitions) model. It seeks to cut back on hospital readmissions, but lately the mission has expanded, according to Tom Leyden, director of the value partnerships program at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.
"In the past, the BOOST program was primarily looking at the hospital setting with the hospital looking at its own discharge policy," says Leyden. "What we've done in Michigan was expanded that to include the primary care physician setting."
Review claims, Lattimer suggests. Talk to the heads of various departments, whether it's customer service, case management, quality management, or utilization management. What do they see as the big gap in variance during a transition? "There are in every health plan folks who know the biggest gaps and barriers that they're struggling with," says Lattimer.
Clinical administrators at health plans can take an incremental approach to addressing the transitions of care.
"Everything starts small, and there are things that you can do now," says Brill. "There are going to be forward-thinking doctors and facilities in your provider networks that clearly understand the opportunity. Reach out now to them and work with them. At the end of the day, building relationships, building trust, and building a culture that can really improve things for all the stakeholders — then we all can do well by doing good."
Patients in a transition-of-care program at Geisinger Health Plan will get a call from a nurse manager within 24 hours. The nurse will go over four or five points, of which one is definitely the most important, says Janet Tomcavage, RN, MSN, the plan's vice president for health services.
"One of the biggest opportunities that we've uncovered in transitions of care has been several challenges around medications. Sometimes important medications that the patient should be taking are omitted."
At other times, brand drugs are substituted for the patient's usual generic medication and the patient goes home and takes double the dose, thinking they are different drugs.
"Or sometimes patients won't take new medications until their primary care physician blesses the new medications," says Tomcavage. "Our nurse sits in the primary care office, working with primary care and the patients to make sure we get them on the right series of medications in that transition."
Teri Treiger, RN, president of the Case Management Society of America, recalls that until the recent emphasis on reducing needless hospital readmissions, there was practically no oversight of what medications patients were taking at home.
The pharmacy staff can help with the duplication problem. "They can perform a medication review," says Treiger. "Looking at both underutilization and overutilization is a fairly standard strategy for pharmacy benefits nowadays. Also, looking at individuals who are prescribed five or more different medications."
Often it's a pharmacist at the health plan or a pharmacy who is in a position to alert the primary care physician or prescribing physician to the situation.
"The first step is direct contact with the providers," says Treiger. "However, it is important to keep in mind that providers are contacted by multiple sources — payers, hospitals, specialists, vendors, among others. Each one of these contacts requires some kind of follow-up and managing this volume of interaction is challenging, and near impossible."
David Clark, RPh, MBA, is vice president for pharmacy benefit management at the Regence Group, a 2-million- member Blues plan that covers people in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Utah.
Right now, the health plan is able to track patients who, for example, have a heart condition, and those with other complexities. "Then we try to use some kind of coordination between medical and pharmacy to make sure the medications are taken care of as well," says Clark.

Don't want your sweetheart staying chummy with an ex? You now have science on your side.
A new Canadian study reports that ex appeal is far more relevant than researchers previously assumed, with former flames affecting new romances in ways that, at best, prevent them from flourishing and at worse, damage their very foundation. Furthermore, the effects work both ways, with warm thoughts of an ex predicting decreased relationship quality, and decreased relationship quality predicting warm thoughts of an ex.
"The great thing about this research is that it's so intuitive," said lead author Stephanie Spielmann, a doctoral candidate in psychology at the University of Toronto.
"We're showing that current relationships and past relationships are much more intertwined than research considers them; people generally understand that they're related, but (science) has largely ignored that aspect."
The study was conducted in three waves over six months, with 123 men and women reporting at each phase their current relationship quality, emotional attachment to ex-partners, and perceived quality of relationship alternatives. Participants ranged in age from 18 to 56, and were primarily from Canada and the U.S.
In those relationships that declined over time, increased longing for an ex-partner was significant — and it was above and beyond general yearning for a change of partner. In other words, as a person's current romance became less satisfying, desire turned more strongly to lovers from the past.
"It was more than just looking for someone other than their current partner. There seemed to be something unique about an ex," says Spielmann. "People can actually draw on feelings for ex-partners when they need to feel validated."
In addition, increased longing for an ex predicted declines in a person's current relationship quality, but only when the ex was their most recent previous partner. Spielmann explains this is likely because a recent ex is seen as a viable alternative, whereas a more distant ex is not.
The study notes nostalgia may also play a role, with romanticizing the past acting as a way of self-soothing in times of emotional threat.
"This has implications for people getting into new relationships very quickly after a breakup," says Spielmann. "Your ex-partner can creep into your new relationship, and people should be mindful of that."
The study, just released online, will appear in a future print edition of the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science.

Breaking In has been pulled from the Fox schedule effective immediately. Originally, it had been set to resume on Tuesdays beginning April 24 following New Girl. Now Fox will air reruns of New Girl instead.
Breaking In was canceled after last season, only to ultimately be resurrected. While the un-aired episodes will almost certainly air via summer burn off, I wouldn't look for lightning to strike twice as far as getting un-canceled again.

By DAVID GREEN
Fayette village council members think that investing in a new backhoe now will save cash in the future thanks to a generous state purchasing plan.
Maintenance coordinator Matt Moats told council last week the village has spent about $9,000 in the past two years to repair the backhoe and about $13,000 needs to be invested in maintenance during the next year, including replacement of the bushings.
Moats said the village would receive $19,000 to trade in its current unit and a discount of $63,000 through the state purchase plan. This would lower the cost of a new $140,000 backhoe to $58,000.
Moats suggested a three-year trade-in plan because the village could trade in the new backhoe and receive more than what was spent initially for the purchase. The trade-in money could then be used to buy a new unit.
"Eventually it would pay for itself," said councilor David Borer.
Council member Julia Ruger said there are village employees who would like a pay raise, but instead $58,000 would be spent on a backhoe.
"I have a problem spending this kind of money right now," she said.
"That's one thing no one is going to understand," answered chief financial officer Liza Zuver. "The raises would not come out of these funds."
Zuver explained that the use of certain funds is restricted. In this case, money in the street fund could not be used to pay police salaries, for example, but it could be used for equipment that will be used with street work.
Street funds come from the state primarily through taxes paid on gasoline and license fees.
"People automatically assume you can get the money from anywhere," said mayor Ruth Marlatt, "but it can't be used for anything else. This money is for specific uses and this is one thing we can use it on."
Zuver said there is $92,000 in the street fund. If council votes at the next meeting to buy the backhoe, it could be paid for in one lump sum or partially from a loan. Ruger suggested half and half and Zuver said she will check on interest rates.
Moats said that if the village spent $13,000 to refurbish the backhoe, it might last another 13 years but would have very little resale value and might require additional work. He expects no maintenance costs other than oil changes with a three-year plan.
"If the [resale] offer isn't good enough, we can keep it," said village administrator Steve Blue. "We're not locked into it."
STREETS—Dave Wheeler asked if the village was moving backwards with street paving because so many old water lines need to be replaced and the new pavement will need to be dug up.
Zuver noted that funds aren't available for water line replacement now, but the water plant loan will be paid in 2018, along with another loan ending, and then the village might consider gradually replacing lines.
Police chief Jason Simon wondered if village workers could replace the lines on Mill Street before paving since breaks occur there frequently.
POLICE—Chief Simon told council that he's putting in an extremely large number of overtime hours due to a shortage of personnel and he suggested hiring another full-time officer.
Simon said he will continue to work the overtime when needed.
"People are paying for coverage and I'm going to give it to them," he said.
WATER—Jeff Merillat has offered to serve as a backup to Tom Rupp as the licensed water plant operator. Merillat will take classes, if needed, to keep his license up to date.
SEWER PROJECT—Blue said there are just a few signatures needed for property easements and he doesn't anticipate any problems with the project moving forward.

*New payment options..available to you*
What would the total cost be for me to have a website?
One of the most frequently asked questions is:
What is the total cost of having a website or how much is this going to cost for me to have a completed professional looking website. The answer to that question will vary depending on your needs.
We can build your site for you, if you are unable to. There is a flat rate one time fee of $250 dollars for us to build your site, or $450 including E-commerce if you need it. These are called Managed Sites and are maintained by us also at no charge.
The only other expense you would have is the purchase of a domain name (something.com) which will cost you around $10.25 per year.
The other cost would be your monthly hosting fees which would cost between $9.95 a month with the Starter package to $19.95 a month for the Professional package. The cost difference is based on how much web space you need.
If your capable of building and maintaining your own website, you can order our AdvantagePlus hosting package which costs $7.95 a month.
So boiled down...
|Managed Website that we build
|Website that you build and maintain
|Building fee $250.00

I find the vertical tabs on the left rather ugly...

Re: Awesome!
Yes, Amarok does look fantastic, but I would also like to see something that replaces the vertical tabs.
Anyone from the Oxygen team in da house?
By Jan Ask at Sun, 2008/07/27 - 5:00am
Re: Awesome!
Last I heard the art they had for the vertical tabs was still meant as a placeholder for when they get some art meant for it. Not sure if anythings changed since I last heard about that, though.

Re: Awesome!
That is exactly why it's that ugly :) That way we don't forget ;)

Re: Awesome!
Can you simply ge rid of vertical tabs and vertical texts? They are impossible to read, give a cluttered sensation and, to sum it up, are the only negative part of the Amarok experience (which is, a part from this, fantastic)

Re: Awesome!
And how would be a better method to access that content?
By Kit at Sun, 2008/07/27 - 5:00am
Re: Awesome!
The iTunes way to do it, only one big treeView. Of course, in Amarok we have a second level of horizontal tabs inside of the first level (services, podcast and things like that). But i think that a single treeView would do the job better. Now, I am ok with the current system, but i remember when i first used Amarok (i was on XMMS before and iTunes (4.*) in wine for my iPod), i didn't liked the left tabs stuff but not at all. It was taking so many click to access playlist.
I think that there should be not more than 2 of those tabs. The default one should be the treeview with Playlists, podcast, services, devices and "see all media" and the second should be the collection, with local, remote and device in different tabs.
It sound like iTunes/RhytmBox/Other player, but it is still more usage than always having to click 5-7 time to access a basic feature.
By Emmanuel Lepage... at Mon, 2008/07/28 - 5:00am
Re: Awesome!
Holy vertical space batman!
We already tried this sort of thing before, it was really ugly (even worse then our current tabs!) and left little space for the actual browsers due to all the tabs.
The iTunes model only works because they don't have a playlist per-se, but use the playlist-space to show the collection browser normally. But then people can also make their own playlists somehow. Not sure. Anywho: the point is that iTunes tree view isn't an isolated feature, and adopting it means making Amarok cramped and ugly or becoming a complete iTunes clone.

Re: Awesome!
"And how would be a better method to access that content?"
At least provide the [b]option[/b] to use something else than vertical tabs... horizontal tabs, text, ANYTHING but vertical tabs... my neck isn't made to turn 90% (ok, a *little* less) and I'm not used to reading text that's rotated 90 degrees. At least, if you keep the tabs, make the text readable from top to bottom:
Yes yes I know you loose a lot of space this way. It's still better than text that's near impossible to read or icons that you can't tell what they do.

Re: Awesome!
In my opinion, vertical tabs are not a problem.
Personnally, i don't have any problem to read and to know what they are doing. It's better than Horyzontaly tabs, it takes less area...
But the idea to add an option to configure these tabs, for people who prefer 90° oriented text or top to bottom text, is really good.

Just use KDE's vertical tabs, please!
There exist vertical tabs in many apps like Kate, KDevelop, Konqui... But Amarok uses its very own implementation since the early 1.x releases. The same about the curious selection bar in the playlist they were using. I believe it would already help if they just leave it to the Oxygen (or another) style to draw the tabs...
By Sebastian at Mon, 2008/07/28 - 5:00am
Re: Just use KDE's vertical tabs, please!
Our implementation is superior to the one in KDElibs, as it uses the whole vertical available space, which makes it much easier to use the tabs with muscle memory.
We've in fact been asked to put this code into KDElibs, but due to time restrictions this hasn't happened yet.
As for the _look_ of the tabs, I can assure you that we're working on improving it muchly. In fact it looks already much better in trunk.
One word, as a hint: Nuno :)

Re: Awesome!
Oh, nice idea !
Better than adding option to configure the tabs, and more pratical.
By Insomniak at Mon, 2008/07/28 - 5:00am
Re: Awesome!
IMO it's the best solution, at least if we follow the "tabs" paradigm, I even did a mockup and posted it on amarok-devel but it was rejected saying that buttons may grow in number and then occupy more real estate. I don't think so, but I'm not a developer so I can't really blame them :)

something similar, and I think it is good, take a look at right part of the site http://www.cuil.com/search?q=amarok if this efect would be included in amarok it would be great

Amarok 1.4 import??
Is there already a way to import all the "old" Amarok 1.4 database info (playcounts, ratings etc.) into the new 2.0 Amarok?
By anon at Tue, 2008/07/29 - 5:00am
Re: Amarok 1.4 import??
Yes, Seb Ruiz has been working on a converter script.
I'm not sure if the script is already usable at this point, but it will definitely be doable in the final release.
By Mark Kretschmann at Tue, 2008/07/29 - 5:00am
Re: Amarok 1.4 import??
Argh... but I want it NOW ;)))!
Anyway - is the database structure so much different that a converter script is so difficult? I, too, am still kept off from trying Amarok2 because that would mean trashing all my album covers, playcounts, ratings and so on... would be great if a converter could be added before the final version is out!
By Anders at Tue, 2008/07/29 - 5:00am
Re: Amarok 1.4 import??
People who are worried about such things should just as well stay away from Amarok for the time being. :)

Main Content
Click here for information about electronic quarterly member statements.
Q: I rolled money into PERF/TRF and created a Rollover Savings Account (RSA). It's not clear on my statement whether my RSA is included, and its balance.
A: For this statement, both your ASA and RSA balances are combined and listed in the Fund Activity section. If you would like to see the balances of your ASA and RSA separately, please log in to your online member account and select My Account, Account Details, Account Balance and then View Balance By Type. Or, call us at (844) GO-INPRS and a Customer Service Representative will assist you.
Q: I chose to allocate my current ASA balance and future contributions separately. On my statement, I have several funds showing with some listing a Future Investment Allocation percent and others list 0.00%. Are all my ASA allocations represented on the statement?
A: Yes, both your current and future allocations are represented. Funds with a 0.00% indicate you have money in that fund; however, you have chosen to not have any additional monies added (i.e. future contributions from you, your employer or a combination of both) to that fund except natural gains and losses as occurring in the stock market.
Q: I see a Transition Account listed. What is that?
A: If a member chooses to annuitize all or a portion of his/her Annuity Savings Account (ASA) and/or Rollover Savings Account (RSA) at retirement, the money is placed into a transition account which prevents potential swings in value.
Q: What is a Pending Contribution Account? And why does it show a positive number in the Beginning Balance column and a negative amount in the Contributions column?
A: The Pending Contribution Account was a temporary holding account used for contributions until the new funds were in place on Aug. 2, 2010. Once the new funds were in place, contributions were transferred to the new investment options. The Pending Contribution Account will not appear on future statements.
Q: Why is this statement different than the last statement I received from PERF/TRF?
A: The previous statement was called a transition statement. Its purpose was to simplify the transition from the old lineup of investment funds to the new lineup by providing Annuity Savings Account (ASA) investment transition details from July 1-31, 2010.
Q: Why does the statement go from Aug. 2, 2010 to Dec. 31, 2010? Aren't they supposed to be quarterly?
A: The statement is a comprehensive picture of the funds, allocation amounts and performance history since the switch to the new funds on Aug. 2. Last quarter, members were mailed a transition statement in October. Going forward, statements will be provided quarterly.
Q: How can my future contributions column be 0.00%?
A: If you elected to switch your current asset balance to different funds, but opted to leave future contributions as they are, the 0.00% indicates no new contributions from you, your employer, or a combination of both, will go into that fund. The balance in that fund will gain or lose money based on the investments.
Q: I requested a distribution of my ASA account. I have a statement showing a very small amount currently in my account. If I took a distribution, how can I still have a balance?
A: Sometimes, contributions from your employer will come in after a distribution has occurred. This is considered a trailing contribution. Contact our office at (844) GO-INPRS if you have further questions regarding distributions.
Q: There are 18 funds listed under the Account Balance Allocation section, but the pie chart to the left doesn't have that many colors. What is the purpose of this section?
A: The Account Balance Allocation section shows all the funds in which you can invest your account. Notice the numbers in parentheses ( ). These numbers indicate the percent of your account invested in that particular fund. The pie chart to the left of that section visually represents how much money is invested in each of the funds you elected.
Q: I don't understand the Past Performance of Investment Fund Options section. What is the purpose of it?
A: The purpose of this section is to provide members with the historical performance of the fund options. These investment returns include both actual performance results and the performance results prior to inclusion of your plan. Prior to Aug. 1, 2010, all performance presented is calculated using the investment managers' performance results prior to inclusion in your plan. Starting on Aug. 1, 2010, all performance presented consists of actual investment returns experienced by members. For more information regarding your investments, you may consider meeting with a financial advisor.
Q: Who can I contact if I want to discuss my statement?
A: You can contact our office at (844) GO-INPRS to discuss your statement with a Customer Service Representative. When you call, you will be prompted to enter your Pension ID. If you do not have your pension ID, simply wait until you have been asked two times. After the second attempt with no Pension ID entered, you will be transferred to a representative who can discuss your statement with you. We are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 18 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
A developer who needs design help.
Twitter users who attend concerts, theater and sporting events
App Description: The app works by allowing Twitter users to tweet about the tickets they have to an event. They can do this via their own Twitter client of choice or by coming to the app site. The app then presents their seat info to them, as well as others who might be following them. Also, based on their and their followers previous attendance, they will get suggested upcoming events. They will also be able to purchase tickets to events they may be interested in which were suggested to them or which they see their followers are also attending.
The Home page should have an area which can show how twtseat works. This could be done in a step formation or an area which could show a video demo. It should also have an area which allows them to tweet their ticket information.
The form should be broken out into the needed fields for the app to correctly read the tweet.
The fields are:
- Event Name
- Section
- Row
- Seat
- Event Date.
A drop down might be good for Event Name which will pull from the events the app already knows about.
The next pages will be presented in a dashboard format. The main content will be a grid which will show event/ticket details, with tabbed options. The dashboard should have a spot for user info as well as a spot for an or ads (Use any IAB size.)
Home Page #1
Home Page #2
User Dashboard
These are just my initial thoughts and any layouts will be considered. Home Page #1 and #2 are two ideas, I do not need two home pages. Please ask questions if you have any. I will response quickly.

Dave has been hounding me to post about Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas for some time now. It is one of his very favorite main dishes. The first time we had this was with our friends the Sadlers. They made it for us when we came over for dinner one night when we were newly married. It is a keeper. I like it a lot, but I must say that men love this dish the most. In fact, I once had a friend tell me (after I took a meal to their family when they had a baby) that he would have another child to get to have this meal brought to his house again. I told him this was extreme, and that a new baby is not a prerequisite for me to make this meal.
That being said, I think it is a good main dish to take to friends who have a new baby (or other meal-bringing occasions). I usually make a batch of homemade salsa, and some yummy dessert and have a fiesta-on-the-go!
The recipe is called Enchiladas… though I think of enchiladas as being corn tortillas and these are flour. But maybe the "enchilda-ness" is the sauce that covers them. (That's just an internal conflict I've had about this dish.) There are much more sophisticated enchilada recipes out there that you might choose, but this one is simple goodness.
However, you can use this recipe as a foundation and tweak as you like. You can spice it up, if you like spicy, by adding peppers, hot sauce or spicy Rotel. You can top with salsa verde, if you love verde. Sprinkle with cilantro, or squeeze a lime on it, and get gourmet! You can grill veggies to add inside or even beans. I know, I'm getting wild here!
I used to boil the chicken for the recipe, but a few years ago I started roasting it, thanks to Ina Garten teaching me about the glory of roasted chicken breasts. It is so easy and so much more flavorful. For this recipe, I baste chicken breasts with olive oil, and sprinkle with kosher salt, ground pepper and ground cumin. If you are tight on time, you can use a Rotisserie Chicken OR if's the week after Thanksgiving, and you have a surplus of turkey, you can use it!
4 chicken breasts
a little olive oil
coarse salt, ground pepper & cumin
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cups shredded mexican mixture cheese
1 can Rotel
8 oz. sour cream
Pat chicken breasts with paper towel. Coat lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with a little salt, pepper and cumin. Bake at 375˚ until fully cooked. Tear into bite sized pieces.
Put cream of chicken soup, most of the cheese, Rotel and sour cream into a bowl, microwave for a couple of minutes to warm together.
Spray glass baking dish with cooking spray.
Continue until you have used up all of your chicken. MAKE SURE YOU RESERVE SOME OF THE FILLING FOR THE TOP! (I made the mistake once of using it all up on the inside).
Pour left over sauce over enchiladas and top with the little reserved cheese.
Bake at 250˚ for 20-30 minutes until warm and bubbly.
Red Rice (from Everyday Foods)
2 tsp. vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 cup long-grain white rice
1 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
coarse salt and ground pepper
In medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to brown around edges, 6 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir to combine. Add rice, broth (or water), oregano, salt and pepper (to taste). Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low, cover and cook until liquid is absorbed, 15 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let rice sit, covered, 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.
"So, Dave, are you happy? Two years later and I finally posted your requested dish?" I asked him today. He replied with, "YES! However, you might need some different photos, so we should make it again to get some better shots."

My Weekly Menu page has been updated for the coming week. Take a peek when you have some time. Have you visited my new Facebook fan page? I've posted my thought for today. You can see it, here
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This unique variation of shortbread is as light and tender as the classic, but one bite of this version will transport butterscotch devotees to a cookie lover's Eden. Imagine a buttery cookie to which butterscotch chips and toffee bits are added, and I think you'll understand why these cookies have become a tea-time favorite. They are easy to make and bake, but because they are so short, the dough has a a tendency to crumble when it is rolled. If you encounter this problem, just keep reforming the dough as you go along. It also helps if the dough is kept cold and rolled on a well-floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin. The addition of an egg yolk to the dough would probably make the dough more cohesive, but I was hesitant to alter a successful recipe without more time to test the result. If you like butterscotch, you'll love these cookies. They are great keepers if they are carefully packed in an airtight container. I do hope you'll give this recipe a try. You might find you have a new cookie favorite. Here's how they are made.
Butterscotch Shortbread ...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Taste of Home Baking
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butterscotch chips, finely chopped
1/2 cup milk chocolate English toffee bits
1) Combine butter and confectioners' sugar in bowl of an electric mixer. Cream until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla.
2) Combine flour, cornstarch and salt in a separate bowl. Whisk to combine. Gradually add flour mixture to creamed mixture. Mix well. Fold in butterscotch chips and toffee bits. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
3) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
4) On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with a floured 2-inch fluted round cookie cutter. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
5) Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 4-1/2 dozen cookies.
