When we last left Arlene Hiss, the divorced high school dance teacher had ended her dreams of driving at Indy and Daytona. She had moved to the country, where she began raising horses and birds, building her own house and pursuing her business career.
Welcome to real life and recent history, Arlene Hiss style.
It was 10 years ago. March, 1976. Hiss, then a 35-year-old Fullerton High School dance teacher, became the first woman to drive in an Indianapolis-type race in the USAC's Phoenix 150.
These days, Hiss rarely gets her van to go faster than 70 m.p.h. on the freeway. Horsepower now refers to the mare and colt that roam her two-and-a-half-acre backyard in Lake Elsinore.
But life hasn't exactly taken a 180-degree turn for Hiss since her racing days. It's more like a 160 degrees.
She's still involved with cars as a sales representative for an auto parts manufacturer.
"It's funny," she said. "My goal in 1976 was to be a professional race driver, full time. That was it. Now, that has all changed."

Several days ago a Phoenix REALTOR(r) friend, Kerry Melcher (@Melchak) tweeted that there was a great app: Zosh. Next she tweeted that there was also a Zipform app as well.
If you are in the real estate business and have ever had to chase down a client for a signature, these apps are for you.
Yesterday I downloaded both apps. Today I will set up my mobile Zipform account and work on filling in the blanks of the agreement on my iPhone and then have it signed. Only practice.
Total price for both apps was $12.98.
Stay tuned. Tomorrow I'll let you know how well it works!!

Marketing Management Revision Article Series
In the 13th Edition Kotler explained this topic under the chapter heading 'Managing A Holistic Marketing Organization for the Long Run"
While CEO is the ultimate head of all departments, there is a Chief Marketing Officer to provide full time attention to the management of marketing department as well as marketing function.
Marketing is a function of business and many persons of the organization participate in marketing activities. But there is a department termed as marketing department that has specialists whose main focus is marketing. While CEO is the ultimate head of all departments, there is a Chief Marketing Officer to provide full time attention to the management of marketing department as well as marketing function.
Marketing Management Department Organization
There are various types of organizations in existence. Functional organization, geographical area organization, product based organization, customer segment based organization and some form of hybrids can be observed.
Functional marketing organization: The important functional areas can be marketing research, new product marketing, advertising and sales promotion, sales management, physical distribution (marketing logistics), and marketing administration. As organizations become big more specialized functions within marketing can be organized as independent sections.
Geographical Area Based Organization: Companies selling across the nation generally set up branch sales offices and regional sales offices.
Product Based Organization (Brand Management): In product based organization each product or brand has a manager who looks after its marketing activities. The sales staff can be common staff and they report to a sales manager.
Coordination Between Marketing and Other Departments
Kotler highlighted the fact that each business function has a potential impact on customer satisfaction. All departments need to think of customer satisfaction and work together to fulfill customer needs and expectations. The chief marketing man in the organization has two tasks: One is to manage the marketing department and other is to coordinate marketing specialist activities with marketing related activities of operations, finance, and other functions in the organization.
Research and Development and Marketing
R&D and marketing have to coordinate their activities for successful market-oriented research, development and new product introduction. Gupta,Raj,and Wilemon in their paper "A Model for Studying R&D-Marketing Interface in the Product Innovation Process" (Journal of Marketing, April 1986, pp. 7-17) found that R&D-Marketing coordination had a strong correlation with innovation success.
Engineering and Marketing
Engineering is responsible for details of design and manufacturing that provide the products with quality and profit potential. Marketing is also concerned with profits for the company. The view points of marketing and engineering are to be coordinated with good engineering economy analysis combined with demand analysis of marketers.
Manufacturing and Marketing
Balance and harmony in the company demand that manufacturing and marketing jointly determine what is in the company's best interests whenever a dispute arises between the departments. Solutions include joint seminars of issues of common interest and joint analytical problem solving. Company profitability is greatly affected by marketing-manufacturing coordination which is another name for customer service - profit analysis. Marketing can't take credit for revenue and blame manufacturing for costs. Marketing itself may be responsible for the costs and it may be recovering lower prices from customers. This is bad marketing decision making.
Finance and Marketing
Finance persons have to concur with economic analysis of marketing persons. The long term implications of marketing expenditures may not be understood by finance persons. Both finance and marketing department personnel need cross training and joining training to develop common or share understanding.
Marketing Practices and Management Practice Innovations and Developments
Many new developments in management were embraced by practitioners.
Supplier partnering
Customer partnering
Mergers and Acquisitions
Flat organization
Agile organization
Lean organization
Marketing departments also implemented these concepts.
Industrial Engineering of Marketing System
Marketing System Efficiency Engineering
Companies today are striving to make their marketing operations more efficient and their return on marketing investment more measurable. Marketing costs can amount to as much as a quarter of a company's total operating budget. Marketers need better templates for marketing processes, better management of marketing assets, and better allocation of marketing resources.

Someone who makes you laugh.
Mistress Abbey
She makes me laugh, roll my eyes and shake my head everyday! She says and does and wears the funniest things. She has so much of Jason's quirky sense of humour and personality it is heartwarming. She is adorable and hilarious and I love it!
Something you wish you could change.
That is easy ... If I could change anything I would have made it so Jason didn't go to work on May 15Th 2010. He would have come to the birthday party with us and still be here today.

The new Fifth Avenue Zara is the retailer's largest outlet in the United States, encompassing more than 3,000sqm spread over three floors. The shop opens onto Fifth Avenue and 52nd Street with five display windows and a façade spanning more than 23 metres. The store will employ 450 people.
Catwalks at the Store
The new store image is based on four principles: beauty, clarity, functionality and sustainability. The store design primary emphasizes simplicity as part of the retailer's ongoing mission to facilitate direct contact with customers.
In each of the three floors, the store is organized around two long corridors or "catwalks" that lead to intimate boutique-like cubes on each side. Each space showcases a specific collection. The wood furniture is finished in neutral elegant colors and textures reminiscent of fabrics such as linen or silk.
Additionally, the shop includes all of the sustainability features of Inditex's eco-efficient stores, marking further progress in the Group's environmental commitments as outlined in its Sustainable Inditex 2011-2015 Plan.
Environmental Sustainability Features
Motion detectors in the storeroom, restrooms and back-of-store corridors dim the area's lights by 80% when no one is present The store's lighting dims to 66% of normal during janitorial and merchandise loading and unloading shifts. The shop is equipped with the most efficient heating and air conditioning on the market thanks to its Variable Refrigerant Volume system. Energy-intensive systems are turned on in a sequential pattern to prevent demand spikes. In addition, thermostats, electronically-regulated air curtains at store entrances, speed-controlled mechanical escalators and automatically opening double entrance doors care for further energy saving. The wood used in store fittings and furnishings bears the PEFC seal (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), which guarantees that it comes from sustainably, responsibly harvested forests. Zara shopping bags also bear the PEFC seal, while plastic bags are biodegradable.
The result of these measures is a store that consumes 30% less energy annually than the average for a conventional shop, uses 70% less water and prevents atmospheric emissions of more than 150 tonnes of CO2 per year.

Sen. Ted Cruz is training his rhetorical fire on President Obama's State of the Union speech.
The Texas Republican, who attracted the spotlight in October with his defund-Obamacare campaign that led to the shutdown, is planning to spend the days leading up to Tuesday's speech on five key issues for conservatives, Cruz said in a statement Wednesday.
"As the president prepares his State of the Union address, he has signaled he has no intention of clearing the air," Cruz said. "The lack of accountability in Washington is creating a crisis of confidence in this country."
Cruz plans to ask Obama to focus on the IRS investigation into conservative groups, National Security Agency surveillance, the economy, Benghazi, and Obamacare.
Cruz's questions to Obama indicate the possible presidential contender's tack going forward. The approach also comes soon after Cruz hired Paul Teller, the former top aide to the House Republican Study Committee who was dismissed amid allegations he shared information with conservative outside groups.
Since Cruz's autumn stand over Obamacare, he has kept a lower profile on the Senate floor. Democrats blocked a pair of his amendments to roll back the law during the omnibus appropriations debate, but Cruz did not block a deal to move up a vote on the bill. He ultimately voted against the $1.1 trillion spending bill.
The senator has seen his poll numbers drop since his overnight floor speech on Obamacare in September. In a recent NBC News/Marist poll, Cruz's support among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents dropped from 10 percent to 5 percent, knocking him from the list of top-five contenders.

Plus it also means that I can complete the very last page for Hayley and Stephen's acrylic / acetate Wedding album! It's the cake picture and aptly it is the last photo in their album.
Papers are Papermania 12 x 12 Brown Ornate Clusters with added seed beads (I used them on the Wedding Stationery) plus prima flowers, Dovecraft pearl centred brad and ribbon left over from the Stationery too.
And here is the reverse. I kept it plain as it is the back cover plus you get to see some of the lovely paper! I've used a corner rounder on the edges and a bit of chestnut Whispers ink around the edges too. And I've used a different bit of blu-tac this time as Jacob insisted on sticking his halloween spider picture (with 14 legs) to our bedroom door with all the blu-tac he could lay his grubby mits on....
So that is it! Completed! I just have to pack it in a lovely box I got from ebay (it's a Boden box but no writing on it and its a perfect match to the chocolate browns I've used in the album) and then present it to Hayley on Tuesday when I meet up with her. It will be the first time I've seen her since the Wedding as we are both busy ladies, so almost 3 and a half months have flown by! But at least I completed it before their First Wedding Anniversary!
Will be back later in the week with all the shots of the album in one go so you can see it in all it's glory!
- Backing papers: Papermania 12 x 12 double sided Brown Ornate Clusters paper
- Everything else: My stash as left over from the Wedding Stationery

Brian Kriley - Guitar and Vocals
Brian's Gear
Born in Butler, PA into a musical household that included a fairly awesome record collection, young Brian's path was set very early when his parents realized the only way to get the child to sleep was to put speakers next to the crib and play Doobie Brothers records. This of course led to his first word being "Doobie" which is either unfortunate or the COOLEST THING EVER!
His Father played guitar and sang in bands and around the house so the basement was stocked with some guitars, basses, an old piano and he also, on ocassion, had access to his Uncle Ernie's drum kit. The guitars were his Father's and off-limits to the youngster, so his musical training began with trying to pick out songs on the piano and beating on the drums. Brian's first time on stage was actually sitting on his Uncle's lap bringing the beat(ish) at about 3 years of age. At about 5 his parents sent him off for piano lessons, it didn't take, the songs in the little book didn't rock enough. At age 10 EVERYTHING CHANGED it was time for picking an instrument in school, Brian chose the trumpet. It was also at this time when his Dad gave up the off-limits rule on the guitars, and taught him some finger wrangling chords to test his commitment.
The trumpet worked out O.K. he played in all the various marching, symphonic, orchestral, and jazz bands the school had to offer but Maynard Ferguson, he was not. These opportunities did expose Brian to all kinds of different styles that otherwise would have been overlooked and it helped build his theory and reading knowledge. The guitar however was his true love and that's where he ended up applying these skills.
At 11 or 12 his Dad began running sound for a Butler area band called The Jentz (they're still at it, look them up!). This was the turning point in Brian's full on rock 'n' roll education and corruption. He spent nearly every weekend from 12-18 years of age tech-ing, roadie-ing and soaking up everything he could musically during the show. Invaluable experience that still serves him well. But the downside is that since his entire teenage life was filled with spending many hours trying to master Van Halen licks during the week then hanging out with guys at least twice his age on the weekend has led to a social ineptitude rivalled by few.
Brian's own rock band career did start in high school with "Technical Difficulty" playing only the best in 80's alternative, and some ground breaking originals. They played the mall, some school dances, and somehow a wedding. From this solid foundation Brian's wings spread when he went to Penn State and ended up playing in about 37 different bands some serious, some never left the basement and some were "One Night Only" affairs. Highlights include "The Electric Shoes", "3 Man", "Not Guilty", "Viking Mouse War Bear", and of course "broken" -> "Velveeta".

Our faith, a gift for all times, all peoples, from the hands of God.
The Nicene Creed—we've prayed it for years. The entire Church prays this creed during Mass. After all, we are indeed the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church—the universal Church founded by the Lord Jesus and spread throughout the world by the Apostles and their successors.
Last Sunday, I had a great "aha moment." Standing next to me at Mass was a priest from Tanzania. As we prayed the creed, the universality of the Church hit me anew. I experienced a deep sense of communion and belonging with this priest.
We all believe this Creed, this truth given us by our good God. Millions of Catholics throughout the world profess this one faith. We live in different time zones, speak different languages, have different cultural histories, live under different governments, eat different cuisines (some of us hardly eating at all, some even starving to death)—yet we all believe.
Together, we believe.
I wonder what would happen, if at least ten percent of us would so confidently express this faith outside the church walls.
I wonder, too, what would happen if, in our own communities, we sought and experienced this kinship with people who seem to be different from us.
May the Holy Spirit speed the day.

Low Eden turnout sparks nostalgia (Feature)October 28th, 2011 - 6:47 pm ICT by IANS
Kolkata, Oct 28 (IANS) The low turnout at the Eden Gardens Tuesday for the India-England One-Dayer may have disappointed cricket buffs, but the agony is more for nostalgic old-timers who recall the riveting matches between the two sides before packed stands.
Memorable moments abound, so do controversies generated by the emotive Kolkatans out of their love for their sporting heroes.
The Eden faithful recall how Salim Durrani and Chandu Borde's all round show set up an Indian victory in 1961-62, Collin Cowdrey's classic hundred three years later, and Bhagwat Chandrasekhar piloting India to another win in 1972-73 with his guile-filled googlies.
Then there were two unforgettable knocks by Mohammad Azharuddin, his masterly hundred on debut in the 1984-85 series and a blazing 182 to fashion an innings win for India in 1993.
India and England have been clashing at the coliseum-like stadium for 77 years since 1934. The two sides have played nine Test matches here, with India wining three and England one. Two One-Dayers were played here and the hosts won both, including the one Tuesday.
Kolkata hosted the second ever Test match, two years after the country played its first official Test in England in 1934.
The Douglas Jardine-led side coasted to an eight-wicket victory inside four days, with spinner Hedley Verity, who died four years later fighting the Germans in the Second World War, taking four wickets in each innings.
The next Test 17 years later in 1951 ended in a tame draw.
Recalls C.D.Gopinath, the only surviving member of that Indian team: "I was bedridden with flu during the match. But because we were losing wickets in the first innings I came to the ground, padded up, and was given raw egg and brandy for energy. I had a fifty-odd partnership with Dattu Phadkar, who got a hundred."
Ten years later, it was a Durrani-Borde duet. Durrani scored 43 in the first innings and picked up eight wickets in the match. Borde struck sixty-plus knocks in both innings, besides taking half a dozen wickets to fashion India's second win over England.
"In those days the Eden wicket used to aid quality medium-pacers. Only on the fourth and fifth day the spinners got assistance. I kept a good line and length and succeeded," Durrani told IANS.
"England were a good side, specially in bowling. But we won because of good team work."
Borde said skipper Nari Contractor had made good use of the spinners. "Salim (Durrani) and myself were called spin twins. Our combination was very useful. Then also, the English batsmen were uncomfortable against spin."
"Eden was the best ground in India then, the outfield was superb. The people were great sports lovers. During lunch time there were lot of families who would eat home-made food," Borde told IANS.
"I had a lot of friends in Kolkata. I used to go to them, sit in a circle and have lunch."
Old Kolkatans remember those days of relaxed cricket watching, with the matches held in the winter. People savoured the game, eating oranges. Many women used to come to the ground with wool and knitting needles.
The 1964 Test was drawn. "(Mansoor Ali Khan) Pataudi was then the captain. I remember the match only because of Cowdrey's classic knock," said Durrani.
Durrani also played in the 1972-73 Test and top scored in the second innings (53). By then the era of the three spinners — Bishan Singh Bedi, Erapalli Prasanna and Bhagwat Chandrasekhar — was ushered in. They spun India to victory with Chandrasekhar taking nine wickets.
"There were great scenes of jubilation. The fans even turned up at the team hotel dancing," said Durrani.
The script was, however, reversed in 1976-77 as Tony Greg led England from the front to a ten-wicket victory with a painstaking 100 that took over seven hours during which he showed admirable patience and used the pad to defy the spinners.
The 1982 and 1984-85 Tests finished in drab draws, the latter was replete with controversies.
In the second Test at Ferozshah Kotla, Delhi, India lost to England with Kapil Dev getting out to a suicidal shot in the second innings. Kapil was dropped from the Kolkata Test team.
His fans in Kolkata were enraged. There were demonstrations, and posters screamed "No Kapil, No Test".
A section of fans saw the whole incident as a conspiracy, alleging skipper Gavaskar's hand in it.
Ugly scenes were witnessed during the match as fans pelted tomatoes and oranges at Gavaskar and some of his family members in protest what they claimed delay in declaring the Indian first innings.
An angry Gavaskar said he would never again play in Kolkata. And he stuck to his word.

|A French Air Force Rafale squadron
"Industry sources familiar with the ongoing talks between the two governments told IHS Jane's that Dassault is reported to have agreed to more than double its annual Rafale building capacity from 11 to 24 aircraft. The company had slowed down Rafale production rate to around 11 platforms per year as no new orders were forthcoming.
The French government is also believed to have persuaded its air force to reduce its Rafale induction until the IAF contract is fulfilled.
Indian defence minister Manohar Parrikar told the Mail Today newspaper on 16 April that the accounting process for the Rafales would be completed within 2-3 months and deliveries would begin in 18 months. "So roughly it [the contract] will take three years," he said."

Behold a sad knight bereft of all power.
Though I drew silver sword from hardened stone,
And was crowned a king, I am still alone.
The stars or' my head in this inky night
Foretell not the end of this lover's plight.
See not a king but a joker, a fool.
One who dares seek a most beautiful jewel.
Oh, pearl beyond price, oh, woman so rare.
Tis not thy ruby lips nor golden hair
that leaves this king mute as a tongue-tied youth.
Here in the dark I shall whisper the truth.
Tis the sweet gentleness in thy green eyes,
that pierces my heart as an arrow flies,
swift, straight and sure from the archers bent bow.
How may I win thee? What words must I know?
If gold and jewels be the price of thy hand,
I shall sell my steed, my shield and my land.
A king's ransom I'll pay to make thee mine.
For thy smile is heady as the finest wine.
Though I be master in matters of state,
tonight I'm a beggar here at thy gate.
Hoping for crumbs, just thy sigh or a glance,
to tell me my quest does yet stand a chance.
Mount no rebellion against my desire.
My love burns bright as the sun's mighty fire.
Till thee lay thy smooth cheek upon my breast,
I fear my poor heart shall not know its rest.
The halls I erect, the castles I hold,
Will mean not a thing if I must grow old,
bereft of a joy filled life beside thee.
Oh, Lady most fair, I beg thee...love me.

I'm a huge fan and supporter of shinrin-yoku AKA, forest bathing. From a very young age I felt a deep kin to trees. So much so, that in second grade when we were asked to share a story about ourselves in front of class, I admitted to having multiple past lives as a tree. I also informed the littles that trees can heal us. They thought I was nuts, but I knew in my heart I wasn't. As a wellness practitioner, I am confident that nature is a master healer.
Fast forward 30 years and Japanese officials spent about $4 million dollars studying the physiological and psychological effects of forest bathing, designating 48 therapy trails based on the results. The upshot of the study? Forest bathing effects viral infected cells and can shift immune system health and cancer prevention.
"This is due to various essential oils, generally called phytoncide, found in wood, plants, and some fruit and vegetables, which trees emit to protect themselves from germs and insects. Forest air doesn't just feel fresher and better—inhaling phytoncide seems to actually improve immune system function."
Can't get into the forest? All good! A simple hack is to brew up some pine or cedarwood (for example) essential oil in a diffuser, meditate and drop in.

MEET OUR CHEFS We think our chefs are pretty great! They bring passion and
expertise to their work creating new dishes for the thousands of customers they serve every day.
But don't just take our word for it, read about where they got their start, their influences and inspiration.
|WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR START? I started working in pubs when I was a teenager and as I got older I gravitated towards fine dining until earning my red seal in a popular restaurant in Vancouver.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT COOKING? I love creating recipes, it's so rewarding to start from scratch and turn out something wonderful that people enjoy eating.
WHAT ARE YOUR INFLUENCES AS A CHEF? I enjoy knowing that, as a Chef, I can introduce new things to people or show them how tasty a once unloved food can be.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU? I often find myself inspired by the seasons, I tend to gravitate towards foods that are in season and base dishes on those. When I'm feeling nostalgic, I'll create new dishes based on something that I ate that reminds me of a happy memory.
WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY ON HEALTHY EATING? I subscribe to the 80/20 philosophy: 80% of what we eat should be healthy and good for you, the other 20% of the time, INDULGE! Food isn't just for function, it's to treat ourselves too!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR DOWN-TIME? I spend as much of my free time as I possibly can playing outside with my family. Every other spare moment is spent playing Roller Derby, a fast paced, hard hitting sport played on roller skates.
WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR START? I began work in the foodservice industry in 1989. In my 27 years of experience I have worked in different venues, from large corporate restaurants to private clubs and fine dining bistros.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT COOKING? I really enjoy the ability to create new and exciting dishes and, at the same time, being able to creatively feature fresh, local produce and meats. Beyond the cooking itself, I enjoy the camaraderie with my fellow employees. It's key to have a great team.
WHAT ARE YOUR INFLUENCES AS A CHEF? I'm influenced by modern bistro, gastro pub, French and Italian cuisines.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU? Local produce, cutting edge and modern cuisines from culinary hotspots like New York and California are really inspiring to me. I use that inspiration to create my menus.
WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY ON HEALTHY EATING? I fully believe in the credo "you are what you eat". I am personally a clean eater. I try to avoid anything overly processed, containing too many preservatives or bad fats. I always eat 3 meals a day including, the most frequently skipped by most people, breakfast.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR DOWN-TIME? I try to balance out my down-time with things that recharge me. I enjoy publishing and reading internet blogs, cooking, playing video games, running races, going to the gym and spending time with my family and friends.
WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR START? I left a career as a chemical engineer to become a chef. I started in food service at McMaster University as a culinary apprentice. After my apprenticeship, I explored many different sides of the food service industry working in a full-service hotel, privately catering weddings and managing a restaurant.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT COOKING? I like the instant gratification. When I was an engineer, projects would take months or years to complete. As a chef, I know by the end of the day how many people we've served and how our customers liked our daily features.
WHAT ARE YOUR INFLUENCES AS A CHEF? I had the privilege to work for several talented chefs that both taught me how to cook and about the culture of being a chef. When I was younger, I lived for a year in southern California where I was exposed to real Mexican food for the first time. Since then, Latin flavours and ingredients have played a big role in my cooking.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU? I love the farmers market. Locally grown meat and produce always get me excited. Usually I'll see one thing that really grabs me and build a dish from there.
WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY ON HEALTHY EATING? Try to avoid processed foods and instead make real food with real ingredients. Learn how to cook vegetables properly and you'll eat more of them.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR DOWN-TIME? I have two small kids so, being a dad is my biggest source of fun. When I'm not with my kids, I like to ride my bicycle and explore the greater Hamilton area.

Here's one of the things I really like about Catholic churches: you can almost always find a portrayal of a heartbroken mother. This one is a section of a spectacular crucifixion window.
Here's what I remember about this day in my own life: after the service, and the food, and all the people, the thought:
OK, we did that, and it was truly awful, but it's over. He'll come back now, right?

Watch Le1f, in a Kilt, Strut His Best 'Wut' on 'Letterman'
Blood Orange's Dev Hynes joined New York rapper, whose shoes Dave covets
Le1f's network-TV debut was a long time coming. He handled it like he'd been there before. The New York rapper's music has been rattling around in pop culture since Das Racist's 2008 debut "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell," and the song he performed last night on Late Show With David Letterman, "Wut," came out way back in 2012 on the Dark York mixtape. Yeah, the bouncy horns bear a resemblance to a certain "Thrift Shop" smash — as Le1f hasn't been shy about pointing out — but this song came first. Any dozing late-night TV viewers who awoke expecting "a come-up" instead saw a gloriously bekilted Le1f impeccably delivering his breakout song's breackneck rhymes, accompanied by a couple of synchronized dancers and, in the band, Blood Orange's Dev Hynes (there's a song on Le1f's 2013 Tree House mixtape called "Blood Oranges," COINCIDENCE?!!!). And no, if you're at the Goodwill, Le1f doesn't see you there, dog: After the performance above, Letterman asked if he could buy the MC's shoes. Quoth the rapper: L O L O L, he's loco.

From hospital analytics to 3D printing to a hands-free mouse, these Boise companies are making waves in healthcare.
Healthcare is experiencing a major transformation. What states, hospitals, insurance companies and people once expected of the industry has turned on its head, in part thanks to the Affordable Care act, HIPAA, Meaningful Use and stricter standards set by the federal government.
What does this mean? Healthcare — from billing to patient care — needs to be smarter, leaner and more efficient.
These Boise companies and startups are doing just that:
The writers, photographers, designers, builders and business-owners at Built in Boise have delved into more Boise companies to share their stories and the people behind them. From healthcare investment to glassware with a goal, here is a roundup of profiles from October...
Proskriptive, a data science company that connects healthcare organizations with the analytics needed to deliver better patient care outcomes, announced today the closing of its seed round of funding providing $975,000 in capital. Proskriptive's seed round of funding was led by Epic Ventures of Salt Lake City, Michael Robinson, former Microsoft VP of Health and Life Sciences, as well as a host of angel investors from Boise, Tampa, St. Louis and Seattle. The investment brings Proskriptive's total funding since launching its predictive analytics technology for healthcare to $1.375 million.
via Saint Alphonsus press release
Saint Alphonsus will be building a replacement hospital at the corner of I-84 and Garrity Avenue in Nampa, Idaho. The new $80 million facility will replace the hospital currently located on 12th Avenue in Nampa. Hospital officials are planning on opening the new hospital by the summer of 2017, which will also mark the 100th anniversary of the only Catholic hospital in Nampa.
The Idaho PTECH Network is a partnership between high schools, community colleges and employers so that the middle 50% of Idaho students, no matter where they live, can access college and jobs.
Idaho PTECH students pick among three prominent local industries--Aerospace / Advanced Manufacturing, Technology and Healthcare--and spend part of their junior and senior high school years taking relevant online college classes through Idaho community colleges. The idea is that students can obtain an industry certificate and/or an associate's degree within one to two years of high school graduation.
St. Luke's Health System was named one of '50 Great Health Systems to Know' in 2015 by Becker's Hospital Review. Systems that were chosen have several awards for clinical and general excellence. Additionally, healthcare leaders were queried on what systems stood out in terms of overall excellence.
This year, St. Lukes has been nationally recognized for excellence across a number of areas including Heathgrades 2015 Outstanding Patient Experience Award and Truven Health Analytics Top 15 Health Systems in 2015 and 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals in 2015.
Last week, the City of Meridian took it's first steps toward making residents safer by installing 39 Automatic External Defibrillators (AED) in Meridian Parks and emergency and support vehicles. This was the first phase of HeartSafe Meridian, a citywide initative to identify cardiac arrest and better understand what to do in those situations. Future phases include free CPR classes and training for the AED devices for members of the community.
"Today is one of those frequent opportunities to be proud of, amazed at and grateful for the inspired people of St. Luke's.
St. Luke's has been recognized, for the third consecutive year in a row, as one of Healthgrades' very few Outstanding Patient Experience recipients for 2016. This acknowledgement of our Boise and Meridian locations and team members is validation from a nationally recognized organization focused on quality and outcomes, and Healthgrades this year also called out our McCall location for first-time Outstanding Patient Experience honors." - Dr. David C. Pate
The hospital on 12th Avenue Road was named one of the nation's top 100 hospitals by Truven Health Analytics, part of the IBM Watson Health business. This is the first time the hospital made the list.
The list is considered one of "the most comprehensive, academically driven study of its kind," according to a Saint Alphonsus press release.
"Being recognized as one of the nation's top hospitals is truly an honor," Saint Alphonsus — Nampa President Karl Keeler said in a press release. "Our staff and leadership work very hard to do what's best for our patients, the community, and each other. This award is representative of the extraordinary people and high-quality care we deliver at Saint Alphonsus in Nampa."
St. Luke's Receives National Recognition from Healthgrades.com
Distinguished Hospitals for Clinical Excellence are hospitals rated in the top 5% in the nation with the lowest risk-adjusted mortality and complication rates across at least 21 of 32 common conditions and procedures. Patients treated in hospitals receiving the Distinguished Hospitals for Clinical Excellence Award have, on average, a lower risk of dying than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive the designation.
What differentiates these hospitals from the rest is while many hospitals have specific areas of expertise and high-quality outcomes for some conditions and procedures, these hospitals exhibit comprehensive and consistent quality across a range of conditions and procedures.
With approval from the State Board of Education, Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter announced a new public-private partnership today to create Idaho's first four-year medical school at Idaho State University's Meridian Health Science Center.
The CORE, a non-profit focused on catalyzing the MedTech ecosystem in Idaho, and the Wayne Brown Institute (WBI) have developed a strategic partnership. The WBI is a Utah-based non-profit which educates companies through Cooperative Venturing, a mentor based training in the art and science of becoming attractive and viable investments-the essence of commercialization.

1 (12-ounce) package chocolate chips, (2 cups) dark, semisweet or mini semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons shortening (do not use butter, margarine, spread or oil)
Optional toppings: whipped cream lightly sweetened with honey and a light dusting unsweetened cocoa powder, for garnish
Chill a medium mixing bowl in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, place the cold water in a small bowl, sprinkle with gelatin and let stand 1 minute. Add boiling water and stir until gelatin is dissolved. Set aside. In the chilled bowl, combine the cocoa powder, salt, whipping cream and vanilla until roughly mixed. With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream mixture until it becomes stiff. Do not over-beat or you will end up with chocolate butter. Beat in the gelatin mixture just until combined. Spoon chocolate mousse into decorative molds, dessert dishes or martini glasses. Refrigerate the molds for 1 to 2 hours.
Cover a sheet pan with waxed paper. Place chocolate chips and shortening in medium heat-proof bowl. In separate large heat-proof bowl, add very warm water (100 to 110 degrees F) to 1-inch depth. Carefully place bowl with chocolate into bowl of water. The water should come halfway up side of chocolate bowl. Stir chocolate and shortening constantly with dry rubber scraper until chocolate and shortening are melted and mixture is smooth. Do not get water into the bowl with chocolate. (If water cools, replace it with very warm water as directed above; water temperature is important to success). Remove chocolate bowl from inside water bowl. Remove the filling from molds and place on the waxed paper lined sheet pan. Pour chocolate mixture over the filling, and remove excess chocolate from around the filling. Refrigerate coated bombs for 1 to 2 hours before serving. Garnish, as desired.

With my photographer away on the opposite coast for a few days, I haven't been able to take any photos lately (but I promise that I've been getting dressed, in spite of my absence from the blog). I recently rediscovered some photos Mel and I took this summer after a majorly good thrifting haul together, so I thought I'd share them-- this afternoon was one of the many times we considered starting a blog.
One of the best things I found that day was this good-as-knew jersey dress by Splendid with tonal dots and a white under-layer. I wore this amazingly soft dress happily all summer, and can't wait to pull it out again this spring. Also pictured is a very messy sock bun, which is a fun alternative to the regular top knot, and one of my favorite Makeup Forever lipsticks.
I also played with styling the same dress with this tied, light wash chambray shirt of Melina's, which I loved.
Melina made out like a bandit with this amazing vintage sweater with a snap-off fur collar. The funniest thing about it is that I own an identical garment, which belonged to my grandmother. Unlike mine which has a couple of small holes, Mel's is in perfect shape. She paired it with a 90s floral skirt that she also thrifted.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the day were these teal pants that Melina found. They have an elastic waist, and looked frankly kind of scary on the hanger. In her heart of hearts, though, she knew that these pants had potential, and indeed, they turned out to be super cute and flattering-- as long as the elastic waist is well covered. Sorry to share your secrets here, Mel!xo, Meg

We called him Drew-- but only behind his back. My English professor had an insane cackling laugh. Uncontrolled, but bright and honest. People who laugh with restraint are not to be trusted. He was a poet, mostly. Volkswagen Breakdown and other Poems.
Had a tiny Olivetti on his desk when he talked me out of taking grammar and explained the etymology of 'fuck' when I used it in his presence. "It means to beat or wail upon," he said. "Old German. Walked by a man painting the Markland house - Suppose he screwed up - He leaned back from his work and said, 'Fucked without a kiss.'
A Manhattan physician's son, born and raised on Park Avenue, he lived the good life. He passed around a first folio of Shakespeare to my class and made sure we held the pages up to the light to see the watermarks. He was tall, thin and ass-less with Waspy good looks and a bearing that bordered on queer to cultural morons. Christ, I adored the motherfucker.
But he didn't adore me. He didn't even remember me at a 10 year re-union until he connected me to my sister and said, "She was an amazing writer. (Snapping his finger) Now I remember! You were in the Army! Yes? I remember you.Your writing was covered in camouflage."
"Peace, perturbed spirit!"
He did tell me I didn't need to know grammar to write and those who did know grammar couldn't write. He was my guide through: Survey of English Lit I & II, Milton, Chaucer and Shakespeare. He'd laugh with that ribald cackle, "Horns! Horns! He was a cuckold..." Then he explained what a cuckold was. He explained what Richard III was. He explained what the Carpenter's Wife in Canterbury Tales was. He explained why Hamlet was driving me crazy while my parent's divorced.

The teachers union in the Panther Valley School District yesterday renewed its call for binding arbitration to break the deadlock in stalled contract negotiations with the district.
But a spokesman for the school board said it wants "nothing to do with arbitration."
The teachers have been without a contract since a three-year pact expired last Aug. 31. They went on strike for 46 days after the start of the current school year, but returned while negotiations continued.

A man has been arrested after he allegedly threatened to open one of the doors on a plane during a Lufthansa flight. The man was restrained as he fumbled with the controls of an emergency exit door during the flight from Frankfurt to Belgrade, the German airline said.
Passengers told Serbia's public broadcaster RTS that the suspect got up mid-flight, banged on the cockpit door and demanded to be allowed in. He reportedly threatened to bring down the plane and shouted that he wished to join Allah along with all the passengers.
"A passenger got up and tried to do something at the door, but was stopped by crew members and other passengers," said Lufthansa spokesman Andreas Bartels. "The passenger was then restrained for the remainder of the flight in his seat and handed over to the authorities in Belgrade."
Mr Bartles stressed that the door the man was trying to open was not to the cockpit. "It was a normal door, which of course cannot be opened in-flight... it was not the cockpit door," he said. "The safety of the flight was not jeopardised and the flight landed safely in Belgrade."
The incident happened as the plane was flying over Austria. Cabin crew and passengers overpowered the Jordanian suspect, who had an American passport. Serbian authorities arrested him when the plane reached Belgrade, Sky News reports.
The crew and passengers who subdued him - which included members of a Serbian handball team - kept the man restrained for the rest of the flight.
The suspect is being held in pre-trial detention on the grounds of endangering public safety.

Prompt: There is usually a kernel of truth in the words Oscar Wilde puts in the mouth of his most outrageous characters – they wouldn't be funny otherwise. One such gem that is worth pondering is: The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.
Assignment: Is it true that when we most need advice we are least willing to listen to it? Or is good advice always welcome? Plan your response, and then write an essay…
We live in the unpredictable world. Life around us is very dynamic and active. Some things can appear suddenly and bring troubles to us. There are people, who love us and take care of us. They do not wish us anything bad. However, we try to avoid their pieces of advice sometimes at any price. Why do we do that? Usually, there is no reason for that. Maybe, we do that because of our selfishness, foolishness or overconfidence but the fact remains. That is why I prepared the essay to discover this issue. We are going to figure out the reason of this conduct. Can you change yourself?
When I get into a big problem, I usually do not want to listen to somebody's tips. I am irritated and could not clarify my mind, but when I am calm I think that somebody's advice is very appropriate in some kinds of situation. However, the need for someone's advice is still questionable. Let us find out whether they are needed at all?
Therefore, on the one hand, there are some events in our lives, which we would rather avoid. In these cases, we really need an advice of other people. They can help you to solve the difficult question and carry out some tasks without any problems. People, who hold this view, believe that good advice is always welcomed. They do not want to lose chances to figure out the opinion of others about any issues.
On the other hand, there is also another type of people, who believe that no one in this world cannot help them. Of course, they understand that adults have more experience and have a greater knowledge base, but this type of people thinks that only they can help themselves and I have to admit that I agree with them. Only a person who has experienced a particular situation can adequately and even a little objectively evaluate it and make the right decision.
Although I belong to the second type, I do not think that you have to ignore other people. You should not think that their words worth nothing. I follow the principle that surrounding people can help me and I usually try to listen to their advice. However, these tips are not necessarily for performance, I can use them or can refuse to do that. They have the only advisory in nature and only I have to solve an issue. For example, I can recommend you to follow this principle in your future life, but you can take this information into account or can just ignore it. It is your life and your choice.
In addition, the experience is a good teacher, but it sends in terrific bills. That is why it will be better for you at least to learn from the mistakes of others if you do not want to listen to the advice of other people. First of all, you should put yourself in a fictional situation based on stories of other people.
Second, you should try to analyze these situations and try to solve troubles to please all subjects of the conflict. When you simulate these situations, you will know what you should do in the future if you will get in the similar trouble. Finally, I recommend you to remember all decisions that seem to you the most successful. Then you should use them in practice and avoid terrible mistakes which later regret. You are not obliged to use this advice in your ordinary life, but most wise and successful people usually try to learn from the mistakes of other people than from their own.
Therefore, the problem of public opinion is very important and this question will be discussed for a long period. Moreover, I think that controversies about it would be never completed and this problem will remain unfinished and the result will depend on the individual opinion of people. However, it is your life. You should make the choice on your own and only then follow chosen way. You can listen to other opinions and try to stick to them or you can just control your fate without any obligation to follow somebody's advice. Choose carefully!

Property unrated, none
of our customers rated this property good or excellent.
Hotel was clean, food was ok but the choice was limited and it was usually luke warm at best. The biggest issue was that things like the heating, shower, TV etc were all partially damaged meaning that the room was very cold at night and very damp which left our clothes and the bedding getting damp and no heating to counteract this. Hotel is in need of a renovation and we would not look to go back.
For 4 or more rooms please call our Groups Team on 0800 408 4037.

Black Sugar recorded a second LP in 1972 [which] features more original composition than the first one; also the playing and the soloing show a bigger musical maturity. Tracks like "Fuego", "Kathy", "Checan", "All your Love", the beautiful arrangement to Stevie Wonder's "Don' t You Worry About a Thing", etc... make this LP a jewel.
Definitely their style is unique, with influences from groups like Tower of Power, Blood Sweat and Tears and Chicago mixed with a latin funk flavor. In the end […] Black Sugar was a world class latin funk band.» (George Bonilla, Incarock)

The city of Santa Monica and other defendants will pay $21 million to settle dozens of civil lawsuits arising from the July 2003 crash at the downtown Farmers' Market that left 10 people dead and 63 injured.
The amount includes a $6-million resolution, announced Wednesday, in the final two cases in the long-running legal controversy. It also includes $15.3 million for plaintiffs in 40 other cases that was agreed upon earlier this year.
The settlement, which the Santa Monica City Council approved at its meeting Tuesday night, closes the books on the most tragic episode in recent Santa Monica history.
In addition to the cost in lives and money, the accident raised questions about Santa Monica's traffic safety system for the market, which operates Wednesdays and Saturdays on Arizona Avenue between 2nd and 4th streets. A 2000 e-mail that surfaced during legal proceedings indicated that a Santa Monica police sergeant had expressed concerns. It referred to the traffic arrangement at one alley off 2nd Street as "a potential disaster waiting to happen."

By Bronte Price, PoliticKING
A lot of political shuffling is taking place on both sides of the aisle the day after Super Tuesday. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump emerged victorious, causing panic and reevaluating amongst other candidates and their supporters.
NEW: Ben Carson won't attend #GOPDebate tomorrow as he sees no 'path forward' for his campaign - @ABCPoliticspic.twitter.com/D5ef1rB1I2
— ABC News (@ABC) March 2, 2016
Lindsey Graham has changed his tone about Ted Cruz following Trump's massive wins last night. The South Carolina Senator once said that choosing between the two candidates is like choosing between being "shot or poisoned." However in a CBS interview on Tuesday, Graham said: "Ted Cruz is not my favorite by any means, but … we may be in a position where we have to rally around Ted Cruz as the only way to stop Donald Trump."
Ben Carson has also changed course after last night's results. The retired neurosurgeon has said that he sees no "political path forward." Carson will skip Thursday's GOP debate Detroit which is his hometown. He is set to formally address his political future during a speech on Friday at CPAC."I am not moved or discouraged when the political class count me out," Carson said in a statement after polls closed Tuesday. "Millions of Americans plead with me to continue … As long we continue to receive their support, and the Lord keeps opening doors, I will remain in this presidential race."
The outcome in upcoming states will depend on how many Bernie supporters we identify and turnout with phone calls. https://t.co/IB0L83VHfv
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) March 2, 2016
Bernie Sanders, was counting on big wins from Super Tuesday, and was left disappointed. He pointed out after losing in South Carolina that Super Tuesday voters "will pick 10 times more pledged delegates on one day than were selected in the four early states so far in this campaign." However, his high hopes for the day were not achieved. Sanders lost by an overwhelming margin in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, and Arkansas. In Texas, wherethe majority of Democrats are not white and 252 delegates were at stake, Sanders lost by more than 30 points. In a speech in his home state of Vermont on Tuesday night, Sanders said, Now, tonight, you're going to see a lot of election results come in. And let me remind you of what the media often forgets about. These are not — this is not a general election. It is not winner-take-all. If you get 52 percent, you get 48 percent, you roughly end up with the same amount of delegates in a state. By the end of tonight, we are going to win many hundreds of delegates."
