The Interaction of SETMA's Hospital Care Team
(Author's Note: Following a hospital survey, several questions were raised about how physicians and nurses share their work. The survey team was alarmed that some physicians were allowing registered nurses with associate degrees (two-year diplomas) to complete patient evaluations. While SETMA's work was lauded, because SETMA is committed to changing how various members of the healthcare team relate to one another, this allowed SETMA to re-think our team-approach to inpatient-healthcare delivery. This is an analysis of the process SETMA employs in the hospital.)
SETMA's team approach to inpatient care is a success as demonstrated by the facts that our lengths of stay, quality metrics, cost of care and patient satisfaction are excellent. And it is one of the reasons why the indigent, uninsured and unassigned patients for whom we care receive the same quality of care as our private patients. I would offer the following observations about SETMA's team. SETMA has licensed and credentialed healthcare professionals who work to the top of but not beyond their legal scope of practice as defined by each of their accreditation agencies. As a policy issue, the prestigious and influential Health Affairs publication of Jan. 14, 2013, published an extensive article titled "Primary Care Physician Shortages Could Be Eliminated Through Use Of Teams, Non-physicians, And Electronic Communication." The goal of this transformation is the integrate the teams to increase their efficiency, excellence and economy. This is what SETMA started 18 years ago.
Fundamental to this entire discussion is the "change of mind" that healthcare providers and surveyors must have. This metanoia (change of mind) must take place in order for surveyors to distinguish between the excellence of the new and the excesses and abuses of the past, which might at first glace seem similar. They must know that SETMA's patients are not treated in isolation as patients have traditionally been treated. Traditionally, medical records were locked up in the providers' offices, or in the hospital's medical records department. To judge SETMA by the state of care given by healthcare providers who do not have an integrated delivery system with robust electronic patient management is to do a disservice to all of us.
In the emergency department (ED) and in the hospital, traditionally the only data continuity was provided by the availability of old hospital admission records. The problem with those records is that their may by several years of time and dozens of visits and modification of the patient's treatment plan since the last hospitalization. So at best, the available records were incomplete, and at worst were so outdated they were useless. And even when those records were available, they were not interactive. The information had to be extracted and entered into the new record. And as mentioned, if the patient had been seen, evaluated and treated 15 times since the last hospitalization, none of those treatment events was available.
Not so with SETMA. All of SETMA's patients' records are instantly available wherever our patients are being treated and particularly in the emergency department and in the hospital in-patient setting. That means that there is continuity of care between the ambulatory setting and the ED and inpatient settings. Medications, diagnoses, treatment plans and plans of care, laboratory data, and physician plans and consultations notes are all instantly available.
Rarely is a SETMA patient seen in the ED or hospital where the patient has not already had an exhaustive and established diagnoses and plan of care. In addition, the EMR has 29 sets of guidelines for care, and each patient has a physician-determined treatment plan in the EMR that are easily accessed by any and all SETMA providers. When the ER physician diagnoses CHF, SETMA has a treatment plan already written for the excellent and expert treatment of CHF. This is true of COPD, pneumonia, respiratory failure, etc. Even the treatment orders, which are based on a physician's diagnoses, are produced by electronic algorithms vetted by experts and embedded in our EMR.
For those patients who are new to SETMA, the diagnostic assessment and the treatment plan is initially determined by the ED physician and not by SETMA's RN. There is always a SETMA physician available and typically one is in the hospital until 8 or 10 p.m. and others come in to the hospital between 2 and 4 a.m., leaving only 4 to 8 hours a day when a SEMTA physician is not physically available for patient care and collaboration with the SETMA nursing staff.
Electronic huddles
One of the elements of Patient-Centered Medical Home is a thing called a "huddle" where a team of providers meet daily to discuss a patient care. SETMA is introducing the world to "electronic huddles" made up of multiple communications daily:
1. Morning notes electronically generated and submitted to the hospital care team daily give guidance to SETMA's staff who work in the hospital around the clock to provide continuity of care and quality care to all of SETMA's patients.
2. iPhone contacts repeatedly during the day and night. The ability for nursing staff to communicate detailed notes, procedure results or X-ray and lab reports adds to the continuity of care and to the rapidity with which information is communicated to the entire healthcare team.
3. Secure e-mail allows procedure and test results to be communicated to the provider by the hospital staff, allowing adjustments to treatment and initiation of new treatments to occur continuously all day and night.
4. Electronic consultations with consultants and/or specialists can be done efficiently and timely.
Rather than a single point of care once a day, SETMA's patients receive multiple points of care multiple times a day, all initiated by physicians and all carried out by members of the SETMA's team. SETMA's Model of Care has more physicians and more team member interacting on more patients every day than in any other model. The reality is that with multiple "sets of eyes" on a patient's care, patient safety goes up as it is not unusual for experienced and knowledgeable RNs to bring an issue to the physicians' attention that has not been addressed. The physician then gives instructions as how to respond, but the real credit belongs to the nurse. This is only one example as to how the team increases the patient's quality of and safety of care. RNs are not being asked or even allowed to operate outside of their licensure.
On admission, after the history and physician examination is reviewed and approved by the physician, every patient admitted to SETMA receives a Hospital Plan of Care, which is a printed, personalized record of the patient's diagnoses, consultations, procedures, tests, how long the patient is expected to be in the hospital, the probability of readmission upon discharge, a reconciled medication lists and a precise explanation of how to contact both the admitting and attending physician and SETMA's hospital support time This is in keeping with the PC-MH Model where our "electronic huddles" even involve the patients and their family.
Discharge Summaries
As for the discharge summary, that is a function of the chart notes, discharge instructions written by the physician and the morning electronic "huddle" where a summary is sent to the hospital care team. Incidentally, SETMA can produce those documents for the past eight years, if needed. Remember, we don't do discharge summaries; we do "Hospital Care Summaries and Post Hospital Plans of Care and Treatment Plans," which are produced from the entire written record, "electronic huddles," oral communications, but NOT from RNs acting independently of healthcare providers.
This is a brief summary of SETMA's team approach. We believe this exceeds the current standard of care in our community. The accreditation visit has given us the opportunity to think about what we are doing. And, as is our nature, we will continue to improve the process as a result.
The future
Increasingly, the superior efficiency, excellence and safety of team-based care is being recognized. As with electronic health records and with electronic patient management, these changes are challenging to old ways of thinking about healthcare and with old way of doing "healthcare." Yet, if we wish to fulfill the Triple Aim as enunciated by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) in 2007, we must change. If we are going to improve care (s process), health (an outcome) and at the same decrease the cost of care (sustainability), we must be committed to evidence-based medicine, to electronic patient management, to a team organized around a Patient-Centered Medical Home and to a new method of payment like, or similar to capitation with payment for quality as seen in Medicare Advantage programs.

The dog who waited. Hachiko can never be forgotten. Hachi A Dog's Tale movie makes sure of that too. It is hands down one of the best dog movies I have ever come across. If you haven't seen it yet, go watch it at once!
Hachiko: The Dog Who Waited
Words fail to describe it, but tears don't. It is that pious routine of waiting religiously every single day for his master to return, hoping one day he will show up, that makes Hachiko's story a powerful one. Hachiko wrote that story himself, with his unwavering conviction and undying love for his master. He lived it every single day and we can't even begin to imagine the pang underneath those hopeful waiting eyes.
It was as if Hachiko was born for loyalty. Like every other dog, he housed unconditional love in his soul for his master, and it spoke volume through his wait. Ten years! Almost ten years he waited with an unvarying routine, without giving up until one day life gave up on him.
Can you imagine the yen in his eyes, the wait in his heart, and the constant struggle with disquiet in his soul, that too on an everyday basis? He literally lived through pain, an incessant mourning that never seemed to stop. He had him believe that his master would return. All of it, so heartbreaking that the sheer thought of it fills you up with tears.
Hachiko's eyeful of hope had never heard of despair. His loyalty is no match to anything the world has to offer. Keeping that quotient in mind, the movie on Hachiko the dog was made.
The Movie Hachi A Dog's Tale
Hachi: A Dog's Tale did every bit justice to the poor Akita dog. It sways in with goodies galore and then snatches it away almost at once, kind of like life. Choice of Richard Gere as the professor was perfect. He brings warmth to his Parker Wilson character, sustaining himself on screen and then playing with his void.
Being a tad taciturn the movie, (depicting silence in a dog's life) Hachi A Dog's Tale tries to cash in on its extraordinary music. The constant stunning piano in the backdrop brings out a contemplative mien. The score of Hachi is composed by Jan A. P. Kaczmarek, and he does a fair job listing the gloom inside you alongside his notes.
The screenplay of Hachi: A Dog's Tale at times go deep in its own laconic way.
Parker Wilson's brief contemplation on music and life before he passes away oddly puts him amidst his thoughts.
"There's an element of music that cannot be captured. Life cannot be captured. The human heart cannot be captured. The moment of creation itself is fleeting."
At so many junctures people try to explain to the grief-stricken Hachiko, that the dead can't return, but Hachi never gives up. All he had was his master, and the life he chooses is the one of a wait.
"You don't have to wait anymore. He is not coming back."
What tops that all is that Hachi wasn't eloquent like us. He could only speak with his actions. With every loyal act of his, it appears as if a dagger is nailed into your heart. Such shattering pain it retains and this movie depicts it beautifully.
Giving Hachi A Dog's Tale a Calm Direction
Lasse Hallstrom's direction is magnificent as well. His frames carry tranquility. Hachi A Dog'sTale movie is kept slow paced to give you ample time to reflect. Whilst his frames depict the poor dog in pang, you can't help but listen to your own thoughts of dejection.
For the better part of the movie, you realize how nobody really cares about Hachiko the dog. It is sad to watch the world pass by the poor thing without batting an eye for his story. It is a shame that the most humane world overlooks the most sentient dog sitting on the station all by himself waiting. But then comes that attention from the right area.
The time when Cate Wilson played by Joan Allen finds Hachi still waiting for at the station will rip you apart.
"You old thing, you are still waiting."
The mute Akita's eyes say a lot without actually saying anything. Hachiko was well casted, and well furbished. He has deep lamenting eyes that steer you towards the right direction of anguish.

Remembering the Dead
It goes without saying that Hachi A Dog's Tale is one of the saddest movies ever made. Even sheer love that your dog oozes out when you return from some far-off place brings tears to your eyes. And this is Hachi you are talking about. His love is rare. Stories like that of Hachi's need to be celebrated, and forever remembered.
Tears are indispensable. Sometimes you need them to wash down your pain. If you wish to see something that breaks you down almost instantly, Hachi A Dog's Tale is the movie for you. Place it amongst your rare favorites.

WASHINGTON — First lady Michelle Obama says she tries to talk about health — not weight — with her daughters.
Mrs. Obama, who launched a public awareness campaign against childhood obesity, says too much talk about weight and body size can lead to eating disorders. She says she is particularly sensitive to that because of her daughters, 12-year-old Malia and 9-year-old Sasha.
Instead of talking about weight, the first lady says she talks to them about eating right, what they look like and why it's important.
Mrs. Obama discussed her anti-obesity campaign during a web chat Tuesday with AOL Health. Her comments were in response to a question from a North Carolina woman who sought advice for helping overweight children.

Many farmers are aware that the FICA rate for employees (including their employee portion, if self-employed) has gone back to the old 6.2% which is up 2% from the temporary reduced 4.2% rate for 2011 and 2012. This increase applies on wages as paid and will also apply on any self-employment income paid with the tax return.
The other tax that may get lost in the discussion is the new Medicare surtax of .9% on earned income in excess of $200,000 for single taxpayers and $250,000 if married filing joint. If the farmer is employed outside of the farm or earns a wage from their corporation, the employer will be required to start withholding this extra tax once the $200,000 level is reached, even if the employee is married. If the spouse does not work, then the couple may be entitled to a refund when they file their personal tax return if their total wages are less than $250,000.
If the farmer is self-employed, then this extra tax will be owed if they exceed the threshold amount.
This is another tax that has a marriage "penalty" built into it. For example, two single taxpayers earning $200,000 each would owe no additional Medicare tax, but if they were married, they would owe the tax on $150,000 of earnings or $1,350.

" Amad was very friendly and made the purchase of my new (used) vehicle easy and smooth. We contacted him the day before to see if the vehicle was still available and he returned the call very quickly (winning our business from the start) and made sure all the paperwork was ready to be signed when we arrived after driving 3 hours the next morning. Thank you!! "
" Poorly trained sales staff. "
" I had to come back due to parts not being available. Once the parts arrived, I was notified. I showed up at the service department without an appointment and was promptly taken care of quickly. Overall it was a great experience. "
" I've had the distinct pleasure of dealing with Jackie Berry who was informative and helped me every step of the way through the buying process all the way to the Business Manager Hunter Bowles. The timeliness and follow through was impressive and they both partnered with me to get me the car I needed. I didn't feel like it was me vs them. As for Jackie Berry - Clone him please. :-). Good sales help is hard to come by. In a world where a lot of sales people come across as disingenuous, Jackie is a standout. Looking forward to coming back for my next car at Pohanka Chevrolet! "
" Alright service was more interested in upselling Got my wife's car detailed and this is the second time they have just done an ok job and for the money it cost its not worth it "
" I had a great experience with Pohanka this weekend. I had an appointment with Andrew and he was very polite and helpful. I told him this would be my first new vehicle and he went above and beyond and helped me get into the vehicle I wanted and at a great price. I will definitely recommend going Pohanka Chevrolet for anytime in search of a new vehicle. "
" I was considering purchasing a newer vehicle recently and made an appointment with sales associate Greg McDaniel. He was professional, knew answers to all of my questions, and was respectful of a personal health issue which had to factor into my car-buying decision. He was tops and I highly recommend him. Also, as I was departing, Mike, the sales manager, introduced himself and was very encouraging that I should find a vehicle that suited MY needs. How refreshing... "
" Perfect car buying experience. Used the Costco auto buying service. We were out of state buyers because our local dealers were unable to find our desired truck, nor negotiate a desired price. Our salesman, Hunter Bowles, found the exact vehicle with all the options we wanted offered at an excellent price. Thank you! "
" Nice; quick; hassle free service. "
Great customer service!
" I went in to look at a used car and everybody there was very helpful. I had many questions and the salesman was very good at explaining everything, and when he didn't know the answer to one he was honest about it, and found someone who could answer it. I ended up purchasing the car for a reasonable price, and I'm very happy with it "
" Great service in and out in an hour for oil change Terry is a great service advisor go with him or Ryan or samantha if terry Dolyes is not there "
" Went to have state inspection done. Greeted quickly and service completed quickly as well. "
" Love the staff there they are awesome!!! Thanks Guy E.!! "
" I can not be more satisfied with the attention of Greg McDaniel (Sales & Leasing Consultant) a very kind person and at all times he helped me in the process of buying my truck silverado 1500 treated me with respect and Greg was very professional, he was passive I am very satisfied with the purchase and attention in Pohanka Chevrolet I am sure that I will be a customer for years. Thanks Greg for your professionalism. "
" I love coming to Pohanka because I always receive excellent customer service (Elliot was awesome), a detailed and fair estimate and overall price, and kept up to date on the status of things. The loaner car for me was also a life saver and worth coming back to Pohanka repeatedly. "
Pohanka and Andrew Blunt
" My experience with Andrew Blunt at Pohanka was quite good. Though I was not specifically in the market, the team presented a deal that included employee pricing and a great price on my trade in. I highly recommend them. "
" I cannot say enough good things about this service center. Sam was super, called back when a loaner came available. Ryan handled my servic and went above and beyond. I was so impressed with the team I called their manager to compliment them. I've never had a positive experience with dealer service, I even drove all the way from Alexandria because the Chevy dealer near me was not worth the convenience. Customer for life. "
" Everyone is professional,kind and understanding of what my concerns and/or needs are. "
" Great customer service "
" I visited several dealerships in the area and walked out disappointed due to how inefficient and aggravating the process of a trade in and car purchase is. I came in Pohanka and Jayson Brown offered to help me. I am so glad he did. He is not your average car sales guy. He is absolutely the best. He valued my time and I walked out with a car purchase. He is extremely polite and easy to talk to. I really enjoyed working with Jayson. I will be back soon to purchase another car from him in the near future for my son. He has me as a lifetime customer. Thank you Jayson! "
" Had a fantastic experience buying a vehicle without anyone being "pushy" and they went out of their way the work with us. Very happy! "
" Faisal was my sales representative at Pohanka Chevrolet and he took the time to answer all my questions and if he didn't know the answer, he found a tenured member of the team that did. He worked with my hours as a single mom and executive assistant for Justice Department, answered questions at any hour to address them professionally and this was really great- including the financing side to give me a great offer on 2019 Equinox without any pressure or hoops to jump through. I will look forward to working with them for this vehicle and any in future, they're all great. Even the folks that didn't have you as a "Sale" we're willing to help and we're always available. I highly recommend this dealership, they treat everyone with respect and give everyone all the time you have available which is hard to find anywhere these days. Please go to them and get yourself a beautiful vehicle! "

" My brand new 2019 Cruze (less than 3000 miles on it and 2.5 months old) had an issue with the OnStar not connecting to anything. Duh, it's under warranty, right? Well, first you have to deal with the idiots at OnStar, that take 12 days to tell you that you should have escalated your call, which I did, and that it would be another 4-5 days for the escalated level 2 techs to get back to you. All they could tell you to do is to "Push the Blue Button on the rear view mirror". (side note - the Blue Button is NOT on the mirror, it's on the console above the mirror). Then fed up with them, I called the dealership I bought the car from, only to be told to contact OnStar. They do not service it. It's clearly a hardware issue, as I have been in the IT field for over 20 years, but it took a call to GM's corporate offices to say that - YES, the dealership should look at the car, and Yes, the technicians are trained to diagnose OnStar issues. Then began the journey to the dealership. I will say, Pohanka Service has the most awesome hours, operating 2 complete shifts, so that is a big bonus to them. Samantha Campbell has a very nice friendly southern charm to her, that can calm down the biggest volcano - of which I was by the time I got there. Guess that's why she's the Assistant Manager, and the only one I dealt with as Jeff, the Service Manager, barely would return any of my calls, and acted like I was something he didn't want to waste time on. Okay, first off, let me explain that I live with weird hours - very early hours - 4am to about 8pm is my average day. Chantilly is a very highly congested traffic area, and to get there, you will more than likely be sitting in some traffic - like an hour to get 15 miles. So after I got word from GM corporate to go to the dealership to have them look at the vehicle, I headed out to Chantilly. Samantha was very nice to get the service porter to take me and my teenage daughter over to get some dinner and bring us back, about 6pm ish. While finishing up our takeout, I got a call from OnStar's Level 2 technician. I gave my phone to Samantha, who took it back to the vehicle to "Push the Blue Button", and when they told her to take the vehicle to a local dealership, they couldn't understand that she WAS the dealership. Funny how consistently bad they were. Sam gave me back my phone shaking her head about how dumb they were, even to her. Then we waited, and waited and waited. About 8:30, Samantha comes over and says the mechanic has checked all he can check and sent information to GM to await instructions, but they can't do anymore tonight. She offered to have a car wash, but seeing as it was so late, I declined and just wanted to get back home - again another hour drive. Then lots more phone calls, and voice mail. Okay, I did explain to Sam that I operate weird early hours, but apparently that didn't get noted or sink in as she called me after 9pm and told me she needed my permission to try something remotely, but didn't say what it was. I replied as the phone woke me up, and said she could do whatever was needed remotely as long as it didn't start the car or honk the horn disturbing the neighbors. Apparently she never got the message, as it took another phone call the next day to find out that they wanted to remotely try to change my car's phone number to see if that cleared the issue - which it didn't. More calls to find out if they heard back from GM.... Did they hear back? No, Did they hear back, No. So I tried calling the Service Manager, Jeff. He kept wanting to pawn me off on Sam. Didn't seem to want to get involved. Nice to know that going up the chain of command does NOTHING. Few more calls to GM Corporate, only to get no information - nobody can even take a few minutes to explain what the delay is in the process. Not very good Customer Service. Would it have killed someone to have offered a little bit of information on the process and why it took so dang long? Okay, here's the deal that I learned - OnStar - even though they are owned by GM, works mostly out of the Philippines - where you get people that speak a semi-broken English and don't care if your stuff works or not - they have a script to read to you and that's it. They can sure check to see if you've paid your ransom fees. Yup I'm comparing their software to malware, and ransomware. Level 2 technicians come out of Detroit or close to there. They are script readers that speak better English, but still can't do much more than their script, but they know that if you came referred by the level one techs, they verified your paid up, so they don't ask for your account information. GM has some Engineers that respond to an old school text relaying station much like a tele-type machine from the early 80's, but they ONLY correspond to a dealership's request, there is NO OTHER WAY TO CONTACT THESE PEOPLE? Not a great system, but they really don't give a xxxx, as OnStar is considered a third party vendor item, much like your Satellite radio. But that OnStar sure is a great safety and security selling point - until it doesn't work. Then your warm fuzzy feeling of protection is blown to bits - kinda like being robbed. Okay, so I'm playing the waiting game to get this service work done, and by this time, I'm 2 days out from leaving for a week's vacation, and GM says, Yes, we need a new OnStar module. They send it out (and the dealer did ask that it be expedited, so it was overnight delivery) and it will be here on Friday - I leave on Saturday 7am. So I head over to Pohanka, on Thursday evening and they offer me a loaner vehicle so they have the vehicle there to service it when the part comes in. That process took about an hour after it took me an hour to get there and another hour to drive home. Again, traffic is not their fault, but did it really have to take me an hour to just get a loaner vehicle? I get there on Friday - they called at 6pm to tell me it was ready for pickup. I get the car, and yes, this time it's washed and pretty (thanks) and I tested the OnStar, and it connected and give me directions home (yes, I know how to get there, but I had to test it out somehow to see if it worked). Okay since I've been such a pain in the xxx, calling all the time looking for answers, I guess they wanted to do what they could, and I now get that GM corporate's communication systems suck and that's not Pohanka's fault at all. So now that you know the full story, you can see that part of the blame of the service process is GM, part is their service department. Overall, are the people nice? Yes, Sam is very nice and friendly. Jeff is another story. Do they do good work? Don't really know much of what went on, but I'd have to say it's good - they fixed the issue once they got the parts. I'd trust they are all well trained. Are dealerships pricey for service? Yes, but they are well trained and most of their costs are preset in a computer for what is being done. This was warranty work, so there was no cost. Are they fast? Nope. Not even close. Turtle mode is faster. They don't even acknowledge your there in a timely manner (not good Customer Service) Would a wave and smile kill you? Could their customer service be better? Yes, but that is long lesson (and a class that I teach, so yes, I'm pretty picky about Customer Service). They did okay with what they had, but communications with the customer isn't a strong suit. Had I not bought the vehicle there, I probably wouldn't have dealt with them. May have to shop around more for a good service department - didn't have much luck with many other dealerships in the DC Metropolitan area either, so it's not just this one. In comparison to others around, they aren't too bad, but that's not saying much. Barely good isn't very good. Even Sam couldn't make up for it with her charm and friendliness. She did make it more tolerable. "

Despite an entire Monday spent extolling the many virtues of cardboard furniture (although dingy brownness was not one of them), I am still in a recycling state of mind, possibly because all the trash floating down our street is making me sick. No more Church's Chicken cups, beer cans and gross dirty band aids in my yard, please! While I haven't found a use for old band aids yet (and I'm sure I never will), I have found a veritable cornucopia of cool items designed from repurposed materials.
Clockwise from top left: San Francisco Metro Map Bowl by Etsy seller picapicadesign, Recycled wool blanket purses by designer Tieneke Beunders at Ontwerpduo, Recycled aluminum pop top purse by Brazilian designers at Escama Studio, and Recycled packaging lights by Anke Weiss seen at Yanko Design.
I am obsessed with maps (look for a future post devoted solely to their geographical goodness), so I adore the bowls by Picapica, and all the purse are very cute, wearable, and environmentally friendly. Yay trashless yard! The lamp made from recycled packaging is also a nifty idea, and it just goes to show that with a simple light kit (sold at Hope Depot or Ikea), many objects can be reborn as lighted sculptures. Par example, regardez Francois Legault's amazing spoon chandeliers at Unik:
I'm relieved that he used spoons instead of forks. I am not sure how I would feel about a million pointed tines aiming at my eyes as I gazed up at their splendor.
Meanwhile, Tineke Beunders over at at Ontwerpduo is busy building more pieces out of materials that make you wonder why anyone ever discarded them in the first place.
The chair (which, in real life, I am quite sure is NOT as large as the cupboard), is strung like Danish rope cord but with old telephone wires. Being one of the landlineless legions, I had forgotten telephone wire even existed, but then I remembered waaay back to my awesome clear Swatch phone and its colorful guts. It's a very surprising use of materials, I think. And the cupboard made of old metal file boxes really belongs in my house. I want it and its filthy industrial patina so, so badly.
If you're looking for something a little more classic, something that screams less "Hey, I am recycled!" and more "Hey, I cost a sh*tload of money!" then look no further than the Phillipe Starck designed Kong chair, modeled after the ubiquitous Ghost chair, but this time cast and welded with 88% recycled aluminum:
I've got to say that those are some sexy chairs. Unlike the other pieces I featured today (all of which I am still in love with), the Starck chair bears no mark of its original incarnation as a thousand common cans. It must have cost a small fortune just to get the base materials into a finished state, so I'm sure the $2000 price tag is somewhat justified.
Maybe they'll get recycled one step further and show up on Craigslist. Knock a zero off and those babies are mine.

What do you crave when your life turns upside down? When you switch jobs or have a kid or move to a new city, you want to immerse yourself in a warm bath of familiarity, right? You want Mom's chocolate-chip cookies, your favorite musician burbling from the speakers, maybe a glass of your most reliable booze chilling your hand.
This notion that in times of change, we seek the comfort of what we know repeatedly shows up in culture. You see it in ads for comfort foods and household products, and you also see it in high culture. In Anna Karenina, when Konstantin Levin goes home to the countryside from Moscow after his marriage proposal is rebuffed, Levin feels the confusion of his life "gradually clearing up and the shame and dissatisfaction with himself going away."
Many apologies, but Tolstoy appears to have been wrong. In times of change, a new study shows, we usually first seek out the unfamiliar, the new. "Change," according to the paper, which is set to be published in the Journal of Consumer Research, "begets change."
The paper, written by Stacy Wood of the Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina, reports the results of five experiments Wood conducted in which she tested the hypothesis that we seek the things we know during times of upheaval.
In the first experiment, 203 American undergraduates in South Carolina were offered a choice between a prize pack containing Lay's potato chips a quintessentially American brand and one containing British crisps in odd flavors such as "Camembert and plum." After they made their picks, the students filled out questionnaires that measured how much change is going on in their lives. (The questionnaires asked them to rate their level of agreement or disagreement with statements like "I am making a lot of changes this month.") And surprisingly, those undergoing more changes were significantly more likely to have picked the British crisps over the Lay's.
Wood wanted more data, so she conducted the experiment again, with a few changes. This time, she reversed the order: she asked how much change 222 undergraduates at two universities were undergoing before asking them to choose between familiar and unfamiliar products a much longer list this time, including "your regular brand" of deodorant vs. "a new one that looks interesting" at the same price, a free download from a band you know vs. one from a recommended band you don't and orange juice vs. "mandarin guava juice."
Yet again, the results were clear: those who said their lives were changing were far more likely to pick unfamiliar products than those for whom everything was pretty normal.
And so Wood conducted yet another experiment. This time, she asked 240 undergraduates to list either two big changes in their lives or eight big changes in their lives. Going back to the chips-vs.-crisps test, she found that those who had to think about eight changes in their lives were significantly more likely to choose the odd-flavored crisps than those who had to think about only two changes.
So what's going on here? In her paper, Wood hypothesizes that "changing circumstances may break habitual cues that favor old favorites and promote a more general 'change mindset' in the individual." You break up with your boring girlfriend, and suddenly you find that a lot of your old habits Simpsons reruns after work, burritos from the same place every night, Sunday mornings in bed with the newspaper feel too feeble for your emboldened new self. Or, as Wood writes rather poetically for a marketing professor "the familiar threads of everyday life stitch our habits into place." Unstitch the threads, and you undo the habits.
Wood admits her findings need to be replicated. But these preliminary results have far-reaching implications for everything from advertising to substance-abuse treatment. The findings suggest that when everything seems uncertain and awful, we may be most primed to undertake positive changes in our lives. Want to start exercising more or drinking less or getting off drugs? Maybe you should think about a new city, a new home, or at least a new routine.
But don't overthink. In her fifth experiment, Wood found that when research subjects are prompted to "STOP and THINK CAREFULLY" about a choice she literally put those commands in capitals in the instructions people were more likely to opt for their old, familiar choices. The lesson? Don't think, don't look, just leap.

Qtica Intense Overnight Hand Repair Balm 3oz TubeAmazing
Qtica Intense Overnight Hand Repair Balm 3oz TubeThe Real Deal
This stuff WORKS. After buying this and the lip repair, I`ve stopped using all of my other shea butter and "intense restorative" hand and lip treatments. It does smell a little like lanolin, but it`s subtle. It soaks in quickly and doesn`t budge. At night, I put on a thick coat and wear cotton gloves and this has saved my dry, cracked hands. I`m a healthcare provider in a very dry climate and I used to cringe every time I washed my hands during the day because my skin would get dry, flaky, itchy and start cracking over my knuckles; now I can finally keep my skin in good shape in spite of the constant washing. Because it`s so thick and soaks in so quickly, I find I don`t go through it as fast as I did my other lotions so it`s proving itself to be more cost-effective, which is a bonus. Qtica has definitely earned my loyalty.
Qtica Intense Overnight Hand Repair BalmMust have for hubby
My husband is a mechanic so his hands are always a disaster. I bought this at a trade show in Chicago with the hope that it would fix his hands. I have to say that this product did what no other lotion could do for the past 5 years. This product really saved his hands and made his hands that much more pleasant to hold. My only complaint is that because it is so thick, you can only use it at night. I wish he could use it during the day too.

BOSTON, Mass.—All 12 Beacons scored and UMass Boston (4-0) forced 37 Wheelock College (0-4) turnovers en route to a 79-18 victory Thursday night in their home opener at the renovated Clark Athletic Gymnasium.
Sophomore Brittany Moore (Billerica, Mass.) scored a game-high 12 points and added four rebounds to help the Beacons to the fourth 4-0 start in program. Its the first time UMB has gone 4-0 since the 2001-02 season.
Freshman Olivia Murphy (Canton, Mass.) and sophomore Kirsten Morrison (North Reading, Mass.) each finished with a 11 points for the Beacons.
Freshman Erica McGreevy (Taunton, Mass.) was the final Beacon in double figures with 10 points. After not scoring in her first two collegiate games, McGreevy nailed two first-half 3-pointers and added a basket and two free throws in the second half. For the game, McGreevy finished with seven rebounds, five assists and a game-high eight steals.
Two other Beacons freshman scored their first collegiate points in their first appearance in the UMB Blue and White. Amanda Cavallaro (Seekonk, Mass.) went 2-for-4 with two assists in 12 minutes, including a steal and a layup on the first possession of her career. Erin Fennessy (Plainville, Mass.) poured in eight points and three rebounds in 11 minutes, including one of the Beacons five 3-pointers.
Sophomore center Taylor Whyte (Ballston Spa, N.Y.) added five points and five rebounds in 24 minutes, while Lauren Perra (Taunton, Mass.) led the Beacons with six assists.
For Wheelock, freshman Kelsey Becker led the team with seven points, five rebounds and three steals. Senior Randi Davis added five points and a team-high two assists.
The Beacons jumped out to a 20-1 lead just over eight minutes into the game and never looked back. Working against the Wildcats 2-3 zone, UMass Boston bided their time passing the ball around the perimeter, before finding an open forward on the block for an open layup.
UMass Boston held a 48-4 advantage in the paint and scored 24 points off of 20 offensive rebounds.
After playing her starters for the opening few mintues of the second half, Courtney Mattingly gave her young second minute plentiful playing time in their first blowout of the year.
For the game, UMass Boston hit 44.6 percent (33-of-74) of their shots and drained 5-of-15 (33 percent) of their 3-pointers. Wheelock finished at 17.9 percent (7-of-39) from the field, and 1-of-14 (7.1 percent) from beyond the arc.
UMass Boston will get their biggest of the season thus far Saturday when they travel to take on Western Connecticut State University at 1 p.m. in their Little East Conference opener.

UPDATE, NOV. 13 3:30 P.M.: We followed up on this story and asked several schools up and down the west coast about their live coverage policies. Read more here.
It looks like college coaches aren't the only ones restricting Twitter use. Todd Dybas, a reporter for the Tacoma News Tribune, Tweeted yesterday that he was "reprimanded" by the University of Washington Athletic Department for apparently Tweeting too much during Sunday's 85-63 win over Loyola.
Also, tonight I was reprimanded by the University of Washington for tweeting too much during a live event.
— Todd Dybas (@Todd_Dybas) November 12, 2012
The UW does indeed have a "Live Coverage Policy" that limits reporters to 20 total in-game updates for basketball games and 45 for football games:
We reached out to the athletic department but the UW folks declined to comment, only saying that the policy was implemented prior to the 2012-'13 athletic competition year.
Here's some of the reaction on Twitter:
Though the policy has been in effect for a few months, it's getting some attention now because they've actually enforced it. The policy states that the department may revoke a credential if the media member is "producing a real-time description of the contest."
Seattle University men's basketball coach Cameron Dollar, a former UW assistant, Tweeted this to Dybas:
@Todd_Dybas you are welcome to Tweet away at KeyArena! Come on over to the land of no restrictions…Haha
— Cameron Dollar (@Coach_Dollar) November 12, 2012
By my count, Dybas sent out 53 individual Tweets from tipoff until the final buzzer. A lot of those were simple Tweets like "Wilcox 3," or "What touch!" that, according to the policy, would count toward the 20 in-game updates.
A little disclaimer: I covered UW sports for four years while a writer for The UW Daily. We loved using Twitter as a way to provide real-time coverage for readers who weren't watching on television or listening on the radio. I understand that the UW wants to drive fans to the school's own live coverage and protect its product, but to threaten the loss of credentials because of "excessive" Tweeting seems a little odd.
So, readers, what do you guys think? Do you understand what the UW is doing, or is this an example of exerting too much social media power?
UPDATE, 4:10 p.m.: Just spoke with Jordan Moore, director of social media for USC. He says that the Trojans have had a similar policy in place for the past three seasons that keeps media from providing play-by-play updates. But they have not had issues with it and have yet to reprimand any reporter for over-Tweeting. Keep in mind that USC is a private school.
"I think just generally speaking is what we're trying to do is steer people toward partnerships we have with radio, television and our own web presence," Moore said. "We don't want people taken way from that experience."
UPDATE, 3:50 p.m.: Just got off the phone with Craig Pintens, who heads the marketing and public relations for the University of Oregon. He says the school has no live coverage policy and doesn't have any plans to implement one in the future.

A mixed result at Canterbury
On Thursday I finally visited Canterbury Cathedral Archives, got my reader's card and and spent the afternoon buried in microfiche and paper. However, my aim of finding the baptism record of John William FULLER (supposed illegitimate son of Charles LUCKHURST), born ~1824 at Dunkirk, Kent, proved fruitless.
Dunkirk church was only established following the local uprising of 1838, and therefore John would have been baptised in another parish. Despite me hunting around, I could not locate a record. Dare I use that well-oiled cliché, "he just does not want to be found" !
Nevertheless, I did locate the mother of Daniel CASTLE, born ~1814 at Stelling, Kent, and that of his wife, Eliza PAY, born ~1823 at Stelling. They were named Elizabeth and Harriet respectively.
Having now experienced Canterbury Archives, I will go more prepared next time, and endeavour to make it a whole day.

High atop one of Cincinnati's most prominent hilltops stands the large yellow house where William Howard Taft was born and grew up. Located in the once-affluent suburb of Mount Auburn, the two-story Greek Revival house is a reminder of the elegant era when those of means could escape the dirt, heat, and crowded conditions of the lower city. Although attractive and comfortable, the house was quite modest compared to the many splendid country villas found along the slope of Mount Auburn and on the summit. During the mid-19th century, Mount Auburn was known as the city's "Fifth Avenue." Among the many examples of architecture were elaborate Second Empire homes with their two distinctive sloped roofs, rambling Italianate villas belonging to some of Mount Auburn's wealthiest residents, and Georgian Revival houses reminiscent of the grandeur of the southern states.
Walking through the neighborhood, one can imagine the sounds of horse-drawn carriages making their way up the steep hill to return well-to-do Mount Auburn residents to their homes. Now nestled among modern service buildings and other mansions that have been preserved, the Taft House reminds us of the boyhood and upbringing of a man whose career was dedicated to his country.

Gas prices still high as inventory lags
Gasoline prices could soon jump by as much as 15 cents a gallon along the West Coast and Northeast corridors, where motorists already are paying some of the nation's highest prices.
The unexpected surge is coming at a time when overall gasoline prices, which typically slump after peak summer driving season, are at their highest autumn levels ever.
The culprit: record-low inventories due to production woes at several U.S. refineries.
Nationally, gasoline averages $3.78 a gallon, down from $3.83 last month but still 35 cents higher than Oct. 1, 2011's $3.43. Through September, gasoline is averaging $3.64 a gallon, easily eclipsing 2011's record $3.51.
"The two coasts are obviously the biggest sore spots," says Denton Cinquegrana, editor at the Oil Price Information Service. "Refineries are not operating at 100%; there are still nagging issues with shutdowns and seasonal maintenance that are likely to continue and keep prices at a plateau for much of October."
While supply shortages on both coasts could lift the national average by a nickel or more, California, where prices now average $4.17 a gallon, could see the biggest increase. AAA spokesman Michael Green also expects higher near-term prices in New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut, where gasoline averages $3.91 to $4.12 a gallon.
"Time to get the anti-depressants out," says Patrick DeHaan, senior energy analyst for gasbuddy.com, a Web-based price tracker. "Not only will 2012 be the highest-ever yearly average for prices, but it sets up a perilous start for 2013."
Benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude oil closed up 29 cents to $92.48 a barrel Monday, highest since Sept. 21. But crude is down more than 6% year-to-date.
Based on the cost of domestic crude and seasonal driving patterns, gasoline should be averaging about $3.50 a gallon, DeHaan says. Prices could still dip to those levels by year's end, but DeHaan and other industry analyst expect most motorists to pay $3.60 to $3.80 a gallon through November.
"People were predicting $3 gas by the end of the year," Green says. "But no one was expecting hurricanes and major refinery problems to still affect production. Obviously, it's frustrating for motorists."

" Kent was very helpful today! He got everything done in a timely manner and I got a little extra work done! Dakota was the technician who got the car finished in a shorter amount of time then normal! Very pleased with the visit today and look forward to working with them again "
" Shadane worked really hard to get me my car, Shadane with Pohanka Honda of Chantilly is the best and everyone that works here is lovely. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE hands down.. THANKS "
" There were so many cars to choose from and communication with the dealers was very easy. Special thanks to JL and Jose Delado Alva for their support. Thank you!! "
" This place was great! I came in for my inspection and a recall on my 2012 civic. They were super quick and kept me informed at each step. Victoria checked me out and was so kind. I had a last minute question so she went and grabbed Julio from the back for me and made sure I was happy with everything before leaving. "
" Great experience! Krista Hall help d through the very thing and did not pressure us at any point. She was honest and fair and really listened to our needs. I would recommend her to anyone. Made my experience enjoyable, I did not like to buy cars! "
" My experience at this dealership went very smoothly. Saeed helped me out and got me the car I wanted, a 2016 Civic. Although we could not get a deal done the first day, Saeed made sure to keep me updated throughout the week and found me the right car at a price that worked for me. I really appreciated that he kept me informed and worked hard to find a fair deal for me. I found the entire staff helpful and courteous. The buying process was simple and not very time consuming. Overall, I recommend Honda of Chantilly and Saeed is the man to go to for your next car. "
" Although I ultimately chose to get a Mazda instead of a Honda, I was very impressed with my experience here and will definitely return the next time I'm in the market for a car. My salesman Rich Kern was conscientious, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. "
" I have been taking my family's cars here for several years now. Jason has always looked out for us and I have never had any surprise costs or delays. I've requested technicians Dustin H and David K on a coworker's recommendation and they've gone above and beyond for us several times. It's priceless to have mechanics you can trust. We'll be back. Thanks again! "
" Kirsta was amazing! She made the experience of buying a car pleasant and easy. We were in a time crunch and she hustled around the dealership to make sure we complete our purchase with time to spare! Highly recommend Kirsta! "
" I would like to say thank you to Alvaro and Brady for the smooth transition and quick service with helping me into my new car! They were very helpful! I would recommend Honda of Chantilly!! "
"Excellent, friendly service"
" Richard took the time to come in early and help me out with my purchase. He was very friendly and professional throughout the whole process, and I was able to head out satisfied without taking up the whole day. When we had a disagreement over the price we worked together to come to a mutually acceptable price. "
" Kirsta Hall have a Great personality "
" Went to Honda of Chantilly due to a noise concern I was having. I was greeted by Jules Coy and I let him know my issue, he promptly got my information entered and showed me to the waiting room. The technician, Alberto Paniagua, found the issue, fixed it and had me back on the road in an impressive amount of time. Will definitely be back for future car needs! "
" I got my car from another Honda dealership but I had a great experience at Honda of Chantilly with services...Miss Katherine Castro at the service cashier desk was wonderful. She is so kind, helpful and friendly. Answered all my questions and helped me while maintaining a professional demeanor. Great service from her! "
" This review is specfically for technician Alberto. Finding a tech you can trust is difficult, and finding one who is passionate about his craft is even more difficult. I started getting my cars serviced by Alberto five years ago and refuse to take my vehicles to any other person. Every time I go in for service, I always ask that he be the one to work on my car. Due to his background, he is even comfortable working on cars that aren't Hondas. For example, he has done timing belt services on a Toyota, Lexus, and Acura for me. All three of these cars were starting to show their age and also needed some things resealed like the valve cover gaskets and oil pans, all of which Alberto sealed like it just rolled out of the assembly line. In addition to this, I have never been recommended a service by Alberto that I didn't truly need. He is extremely trustworthy and goes the extra mile every time. "
" I can not say enough good things about The technician who worked on my car, Alberto. He is very knowledgeable and was able to detect an oil leak that had been going on for some time that I had no idea about. I felt I left my car in extremely good hands and that he was very honest with me, which is sometimes hard to find at dealerships! Would highly recommend you request Alberto for any of your car maintenance needs. "
" Borna was very courteous polite and honest with me. He was so diligent in his job, he went above and beyond to help me get not only in the car I wanted, but also the car that was right for me and my family at the moment. I came from a different nearby city as I did not like their sales tactics there, but Borna was able to meet us at a price we were comfortable with and provided an honest and passionate service. We would highly recommend taking help of Borna Nasri if going to Honda of Chantilly. Thank you!! "
" Good place in Chantilly VA to buy new and pre-owned cars at attractive rates. "
" I've had several of my family's vehicles serviced and repaired at Honda of Chantilly. From day one we have had Dustin Heiner as our technician and we will continue to request him for every service we have performed. His ability to diagnose the issues we have had and attention to detail are great. We also never feel like we are being "upsold" just for the sake of them making more money. 10/10 "

" I didn't purchase my vehicle from Honda of Chantilly, but it is the most convenient dealership for me to go to for service. I have been taking my vehicle here for a couple years for maintenance and a few minor repairs. The service staff is always helpful and friendly. I normally dread going to a dealership, but this one has always been pleasant. I also will always request Dustin as my service mechanic. For the first time my vehicle doesn't come back covered in dirt and grease on the inside from the mechanics getting in and out. It is clear that he cares about the work he performs and leaving my vehicle in the same clean condition it was when I dropped it off. I will continue to take my vehicle to Honda of Chantilly for all of my maintenance and repairs, and I will definitely be purchasing my new car from here when the time comes. "
" Working with Rebecca Cornelius was so efficient, easy and smooth. She was able to get us a great deal on the car we wanted. She is so friendly, helpful, professional and efficient! Thank you Rebecca for the amazing customer service and the great deal you gave us. Thank you for delivering the car on time as promised! We are so happy we got to work with you! You're the best! "
" In short - Gladys helped me to get the car I wanted at the best possible price stress-free. If that sounds too incredible, please visit Honda of Chantilly yourself and ask to see Gladys! Her professional and calm attitude made my experience of buying a new car stress-free. She had all the relevant information ready, was friendly and willing to help me with all the questions. When I tried to haggle already best deal price even further down, she went to Sales/Finance Manager and waited in line to double-check if the dealership could bring the price down. Gladys from Honda of Chantilly is really great to deal with! "
" Even though my overall experience here was not the best . I'm only giving this rating to Richard Kern who was in the right place at the right time when I pulled into the parking 2 weeks ago, an hour before closing. I came looking for an Odyssey EX-L I saw online. Even though I had to pay a little more, Richard lead me to an option that was better suited for my family. I thought of giving only 1 star for being taken advantage of in finance, but that would not be fair to Richard who tried to make this experience a good one for me. So thank you Mr Kern for trying to make my experience as pleasant as possible despite all the mishaps. I'm enjoying my Odyssey Touring Elite. Thanks to you, it was the right choice. The best way to keep customers happy, is to be transparent, no hidden agenda. Honesty is the best policy. "
" I bought a Honda Civic ex- l from here. Amazing service from both sales and finance department. Especially Jacob from sales. He looks at the situation from a customer's perspective and gets you the best deals based on your situation. No upsells of any kind & extremely patient. Mr. Jahid from the finance department helped me understand the finances very well realistically without the intention to sell products. Thank you! The whole experience was quick, fast, straight to the point with excellent customer satisfaction and amazing energy throught the entire process! "
" You get lost in the shuffle. You'll get taken advantage of if you're not paying attention to the details. Don't get swindled. Focus on the important things. "
" Work with Saeed through the whole process. I came back few times before deciding to get the Odyssey. Wasn't sure if the car is right for my family (quality wise), especially having nightmare experience with Pacifica. From start to finish, I felt comfortable, not being pushed or hurried, treated with respect and Saeed worked extra mile not only keeping me updated about the information (pricing & availability since I was looking at specific color and version) but also have tremendous patience. His honesty was the one I valued the most. "
Kirstin was great.
" She knew the product and answered all our questions. She was honest, upfront and forthcoming. "
" I worked with Gladys for replacing my old SUV. She is friendly, helpful, low pressure and VERY patient. She never tried to push me before I was ready to buy. The whole process was professional and efficient. The process was easy. She provided quick and courteous responses to my questions. She valued my time and was always honest. She is available for any question I have post-purchase. Overall great experience. They will not lure you in with false promises of any extreme deals or discounts(unlike Sterling based Honda dealership- stay away from them for purchases). "
" I had an amazing experience with Mr. Brown, he went above and beyond to help me get not only in the car I wanted, but also the car that was right for me at the moment. I am very happy to have joined the Honda family and it is all thanks to Mr. Eugene Brown. The business manager is also great! "
" It is happy experience to purchase a new car in this dealer. Kirsta hall is very friendly and helpful during the purchase process! "
" Pleasant, friendly, and great shopping experience dealing with Kirsta Hall! She was extremely informative, transparent, and very pleasant to deal with. She made sure we knew all the features of the car options we were looking into to guarantee we picked the one that fit our family best. "
" Fairly efficient pickup of transmission dip stick required for Odyssey van. "
" Kirsta Hall was an incredible salesperson to work with, I recommend her! "
" Michael "MR" Reeves was a pleasure to work with in negotiating the purchase of my wife's new Honda HR-V. He made the process fun and relatively easy. Paul Thomas was also good spirited and helpful in the prep and demonstration of the new vehicle's features. "
" Received excellent service at the dealership by Thao Thach. All of the staff acted professionally and helped me with my questions. "
" Great service "
Great salesman JL Lim Chantilly Honda
" I am so impressed with JL Lim. He has a lot of knowlege of cars including tires. This is third time to buy honda car. I have never experienced with service like this. I am high recommend to friends buying from Lim at chantilly Honda. "
Superb Customer Service
" During my search for a Honda Fit Ms. Becka gave me superb customer service. Although I did not purchase from Chantilly Honda Ms. Becka checked on me to ensure I was taken care of throughout my car buying process. The only reason I did not buy from Chantilly ($100 Uber ride) was because I found a dealer closer to home ($16 Uber ride). Customer service is everything to me. She could have simply just said oh well, but she didn't. For that I am appreciative. I have already referred a friend to Chantilly Honda based on her customer service. The next Honda I plan to purchase will definitely come from Chantilly Honda. "
" Kirsta Hall was the BEST and most AMAZING car salesperson I have ever dealt with. Honest, honest, honest, upfront, personable, and professional. She got a customer for life. Will return many times and i will be damned if i don't send all my friends and family to her. "

Hi all,
I have a question about possible liver mets. See my signature below for details
Last couple of weeks I have been experience some pain on the right side and it radiates to the back- also on the right side ( I did have right Hemi colectomy). Tylenol does help but then it comes back.
Sometime it is dull and sometimes it is shooting pain for few secs.
Doc will order a CT next week to check.
Any ideas? Did anyone experience such pain? post surgical or mets?
Thank you
