The Yahoo developers behind the YSlow Firefox extension — which helps web developers diagnose speed problems — are back with more tips on how to optimize your site for blazing fast page loads.
As the post on the Yahoo Developer blog suggests, "if your page isn't getting an 'A' in YSlow, I recommend that you tackle those recommendations first." However, if you're sailing through YSlow with top marks and still looking for more ways to optimize your web pages the Yahoo team has some suggestions.
- Flush the buffer early
- Use GET for AJAX requests
- Post-load components
- Preload components
- Reduce the number of DOM elements
- Split components across domains
- Minimize the number of iframes
There are twenty tips in all and judging by the comments on the post, expect to see tests for many of these rolled into YSlow at some point (now if only YSlow worked in Firefox 3…).
For those looking for more detail on all twenty tips here's a slideshow that walks through each one:

Natural Sciences Day
September 19th 2015, Kreuzau
As part of the communication and public engagement strategy of the BIOGEL project, ESR Arturo Castro Nava, Christopher Licht and Dr. Elisabeth Heine acted as Marie Skłodowska-Curie Ambassadors and gave a talk on the second "Natural Sciences Day" of the secondary school in Kreuzau (Germany) on 19th September 2015. The goal was to promote science and research and assist teachers in preparing teaching materials for the future. It was a good opportunity for our ESR to interact with the public and to engage in the public's interests in science and technology. On that day, 24 scientists gave interesting and exciting insights into actual research projects to students aged between 13 – 18 and guests.
In the digital pupil`s magazine, a review on the "Natural Sciences Day" was given, stating that the preparations for this day were tremendous, but that the success showed that the efforts were definitely worthwhile. [ Link ]
The "Natural Sciences Day II" was also reported in the local newspaper. [ Link ]
The title of DWI's presentation was "Biohybrid systems and control of biological reactions upon material contact".

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
E Team crisis management software. [Source: Police Magazine]New York City's Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is much aided in its recovery efforts at Ground Zero when it starts using a little-known piece of emergency management software, which it only purchased last month and that was originally going to be launched on September 17. [Wall Street Journal, 10/23/2001; Wired News, 11/2/2001] The software, called E Team, helps organizations to "prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters and emergencies of all types." [California Technology Ventures, 10/16/2001] It was created by E Team Inc., a company based in Canoga Park, California. [e-ProWire, 5/22/2002] The New York City OEM only bought E Team in August (see August 2001). It installed the software on computers in its Emergency Operations Center in World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC 7) and intended to launch the system on September 17. [Wall Street Journal, 10/23/2001; Wired News, 11/2/2001] Engineers Put Together New System to Manage Recovery Operation - The OEM was in contact with E Team Inc. executives within a few hours of the attacks on the WTC on September 11. [Wall Street Journal, 10/23/2001; e-ProWire, 5/22/2002] E Team Inc. employees reportedly suspected in advance that WTC 7—which housed the computers on which their software was installed—would collapse. Matt Walton, the company's CEO, will later recall: "We knew that tower number 7 was probably not going to make it. We contacted the [New York City] mayor's office and told them we would put up the New York databases on our own servers." [Wired News, 11/2/2001] That night, a group of E Team Inc. engineers gathered at the company's headquarters in Canoga Park, and put together a system on the company's servers using data that the New York City OEM had sent to the company to prepare for the launch of the E Team system on September 17. By September 12, the engineers had the system ready for use. [Wall Street Journal, 10/23/2001] System Goes into Operation at New Command Center - For the first couple of days after 9/11, the OEM had to coordinate its recovery efforts on paper or using e-mail, because its emergency management computer systems were destroyed when WTC 7 collapsed on the afternoon of September 11 (see (5:20 p.m.) September 11, 2001). An OEM spokesman will comment, "It became apparent that we needed very sophisticated technology to effectively handle the crisis." [Wired News, 11/2/2001] Then, on September 14, the E Team system goes into operation at the OEM's temporary command center at Pier 92 on the Hudson River, where several server computers have been set up to run the software and 200 workstations are connected to the system. [Wall Street Journal, 10/23/2001; e-ProWire, 5/22/2002] Troy Armstrong and John Hughes, two senior E Team Inc. employees who are distinguished emergency management professionals, are installed at the temporary command center. They are supplemented with three additional E Team Inc. employees. System Plays Key Role in Recovery Operation - The main initial uses of E Team in response to the 9/11 attacks are resource management and situation reporting, but over time the system will also be used for incident reporting, asset tracking, action planning, and logistics. [California Technology Ventures, 10/16/2001] E Team tracks everything related to the recovery efforts at Ground Zero. It enables emergency responders to monitor the location of fires, personnel, supplies, and trucks. It also handles resource requests. [Wired News, 11/2/2001; e-ProWire, 5/22/2002] It makes the recovery operation "much more efficient," according to Lieutenant Colonel John Flanagan of the New York Army National Guard. [Wall Street Journal, 10/23/2001] In total, more than 1,700 individuals from over 200 organizations will use the E Team system at the height of the rescue and recovery efforts. [Council of the City of New York, 8/2002, pp. 22 ]

Ecosystem drivers of an Arctic fox population at the western fringe of the Eurasian Arctic
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-16)
The distribution of traditional breeding dens on the Varanger Peninsula (70–71°N) in northernmost Fennoscandia indicates that this area once harboured a large Arctic fox population. Early 20th century naturalists regarded the coastal tundra of the Fennoscandian Low Arctic to be a stronghold for the species. At the start of our research in 2004, however, the local Arctic fox population was ...
Snowmobile impact on diurnal behaviour in the Arctic fox
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-16)
As tourism increases globally, studies have documented impacts on wildlife from anthropogenic disturbances. In this observational experiment we aimed to investigate if snowmobile traffic affected the diurnal activity of Arctic fox in High Arctic Svalbard. We conducted the study in two areas in Svalbard, one control area with low snowmobile traffic and one experimental area with high snowmobile ...
Vole abundance and reindeer carcasses determine breeding activity of Arctic foxes in low Arctic Yamal, Russia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-16)
High latitude ecosystems are at present changing rapidly under the influence of climate warming, and specialized Arctic species at the southern margin of the Arctic may be particularly affected. The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus), a small mammalian predator endemic to northern tundra areas, is able to exploit different resources in the context of varying tundra ecosystems. Although generally widespread, ...
Homage to Hersteinsson and Macdonald: climate warming and resource subsidies cause red fox range expansion and Arctic fox decline
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-16)
Climate change can have a marked effect on the distribution and abundance of some species, as well as their interspecific interactions. In 1992, before ecological effects of anthropogenic climate change had developed into a topical research field, Hersteinsson and Macdonald published a seminal paper hypothesizing that the northern distribution limit of the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is determined ...
Harmonizing circumpolar monitoring of Arctic fox: benefits, opportunities, challenges and recommendations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-08-16)
The biodiversity working group of the Arctic Council has developed pan-Arctic biodiversity monitoring plans to improve our ability to detect, understand and report on long-term change in Arctic biodiversity. The Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) was identified as a target of future monitoring because of its circumpolar distribution, ecological importance and reliance on Arctic ecosystems. We provide ...

Four More Violet Pieces
So ... it was cut in half. I allowed a bit of foreground space for patches of flowers. Pieces were cut from the right and left sides for the sake of the composition, I worked on the woods a bit more, added the violets to the foreground, and then bordered it with a frame made from the piece that had been cut from the center of the frame for Violets #1. Three green skeleton leaves were added for balance in the bottom section of the frame. Here's the result ...
The bottom section of that cut apart piece had a real birch bark piece. This was my main consideration for how to size the next picture in this series. The leaves had been sewn in place on the original so that was also given thought. I chose to use the perspective of "bending down close to see the violets" in this one. It's bordered with what had been cut away from the center of the frame for Violets #2.
Well ... now I had the quilted center that had been cut away from the frame of the above piece. This prompted me to stitch together the two sections cut from the sides of the woods in #2 to create this vignette to fit within it. Just a bit more work and it became my favorite in this whole violet series.

The original plan was to run beyond 10k so I set a favorite run in yellow zone for 90 minutes. I expected somehow near the end I would be in yellow zone although I intended to run slow with stride rate around 165 for this first attempt of running beyond 10k.I am so happy to see the low score of 10% meaning that I ran most of time in the easy green zone. In fact my heart rate near the end was lower than I ever have expected. I felt differently comparing to a 10k experience such as
- a bit hungry at the end, a banana prior to the run obviously wasn't enough
- flexibility of my muscles, joints, feet appear to have gone near the end
- I need a new pair of shoes
- if this is a race I can continue for another 30 minutes or so
Half marathon I'm coming.

When Chief Warrant Officer Charlie Morgan returned from a year-long deployment to Kuwait with the New Hampshire National Guard in 2010, her doctor didn't have good news. The breast cancer thought to be in remission, the physician said, had returned, and the diagnosis was terminal.
That's when Morgan began a new battle – to make sure her wife and their daughter receive the same survivor benefits that would go to any other married couple with children.
The US Supreme Court's decision to take up the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) could have a considerable impact on the benefits of same-sex spouses of service members, who were largely invisible to the military until the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" (DADT).

Happy Valentine's Day
I would like to wish each and everyone of you a happy Valentine's. May your day be as beautiful as you would like it to be.
Growing up I have always had boys give me chocolates, tea cups or teddy bears in school for Valentine's. Of course I had to hide it from my parents for as long as I could because what did we know about love at that age right? lol. If your parents were a bit old school like mine back then I am sure you can relate!
But what really is the true meaning of Valentine's Day? I honestly do not know! I have read so many different theories, at the end of it I am still as confused as when I had started researching. But maybe I am not the only one here. Am I? To me it is still not very clear as to where it originated from. But I celebrate anyway.
All I know is that for a lot of people it is a day to show love and affection to another person especially lovers. We do this in the form of cards, flowers, chocolates and other gifts.
For some people it is just an over-commercialised day.
Countries around the world acknowledge this day in their own special way and celebrate in different forms. In some countries the women give men gifts in hopes of being reciprocated while for others it is the norm for the men to give the women gifts.
If you happen to be single, you can choose to ignore the day entirely. Or if you are one of those persons who do not receive gifts on this day, you may very well treat yourself.
I wrote a post about Valentine's Day Gift Ideas if you are thinking about what to get yourself.
If you are single don't feel guilty or bad for being that way. Being single is not a disease and should not prevent you from enjoying the day.
Have a glass of wine! Have dinner at a restaurant. You may opt to go to the cinema if its going to be too obvious dining alone.
Alternatively you could very well stay at home and cook yourself a nice meal. Make something you are excited about or a try a new recipe. The point of this is that it should make you feel better after eating it.
Most of all don't go spending money that you do not have! Remember it is just another day and you don't need occasions to celebrate love!

Henderson Becomes Beavers' Eighth Individual to Garner All-America Honors with Sixth-Place Finish
BEND, Ore.—First-year MacIntyre Henderson (Park City, Utah) came in sixth overall to earn the first All-America honor of his career as the Babson College men's alpine ski team placed seventh in the slalom at the United States Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association (USCSA) National Championships on Wednesday at Mount Bachelor.
Henderson's sixth-place result marked the best individual finish for the Beavers since six-time All-American Carter Dowd '16 placed third in the slalom at Whiteface Mountain back in 2014. The Green and White came in fifth amongst its MacConnell Division rivals on Wednesday, but was just over two seconds out of fourth position. Rocky Mountain College and Sierra Nevada College finished first and second, respectively.
Henderson put together a pair of strong runs to finish with an overall time of 1:52.68. First-year Douglas DeLuca (Holderness, N.H.) came in 19th with time of 1:56.16 and classmate Sean Robinson (Reno, Nev.) placed 40th in a time of 2:07.61. Junior John Boland (Waitsfield, Vt.) rounded out the Babson lineup with a 52nd-place finish.
The Beavers return to the slopes to compete in the giant slalom on Thursday beginning at 12:15 p.m. ET.

My 14 month old kicks her feet against the table and makes a deafening screech while reaching for her Daddy's beverage at the restaurant. As he allows her to have a sip of his drink, I look around to see how many fellow diners are tsk tsking our choice to allow our baby to drink what they must think is SODA! I have the overwhelming urge to announce "It's only unsweetened iced tea…really. She never has soda, I swear." But that would not be entirely true and besides, now our five year old is loudly promising to eat the rest of her pasta and veggies after she eats all of the french fries…she promises. The floor is covered in the crushed remains of the fire roasted zucchini and rice pilaf dish we ordered for the baby…her grinning mouth is dripping and bubbling with ice tea, not one single piece of food has passed her lips. I eat my (now cold) food with one hand (not my dominant one) while liberally applying even more ketchup to my daughters fries. My husband is fishing ice out of his cup with a fork to entice the baby with since the tea is now gone and the she is gearing up for another screech fest. Did I mention that our teenager ordered nothing but appetizers and is sulking in the corner of the booth because I went ahead and surreptitiously ordered her a salad and had the gall to ask her to please put some green food in her body before loading it with junk? The single thought running through my head is: If they eat this junky stuff, then everyone in the restaurant will assume that they eat like this all of the time…and that I let them do it!
I always struggle with these scenario's. On one hand, I want my family to make healthy choices as often as possible. But, I also want to enjoy the time I get to spend with my family. My husband always points out to me that our family DOES make very healthy choices at home, so why not allow our children to make fun choices while we are out? And I have to admit that it would make for a much more pleasant evening if I just LET them order the fries, and the soda, and the blue-slushy thing that causes cavities just by looking at it. Aren't we there to step out and have a nice time? As adults, don't we often justify having the dessert or the rich sauce because we are out and we've been so good all week or we deserve to be nice to ourselves? What would be the point of taking your family out to a restaurant to simply have the same thing you would have at home? And sure, there are the times when we go to the dine-in area at the Whole Foods and have the hummus falafal wrap and the spirulla-keifer super food drink. And those are the times that I look around proudly and hope everyone is noticing my sweet baby eating hummus by the spoonful while saying mmmmmm, and our older girls are happily munching on organic fruit and passing around the 12 grain crackers.
Why, oh why, do I spend a moment of my time worrying about what these complete strangers think of me, my parenting choices, or the dietary habits of my children? It all goes back to an early parenting moment in my life. Fourteen years ago, while at a department store, my second baby, a super-chubby, exclusively breastfeed little girl (who is now the surly teenager pushing pieces of lettuce around on her plate) was happily perched on my hip in her sling while playing with a 16 oz plastic soda bottle which we had filled with colored water, beads, and glitter as a home-made toy. The beads and glitter had settled into the bottom, and it was tucked into the sling with only the top and some bright red-colored liquid showing. A complete stranger tapped me on the shoulder and chewed me out by saying "You are killing your baby by letting her drink that poison. She is already obese and the authorities should take her away from you. I hate seeing stupid, irresponsible parents feed their babies soda. You disgust me." And she stomped away before I could defend myself. The baby wasn't drinking it…she was holding it. And it was a toy, not a beverage. But, too stunned to chase her down and correct her, I never got the chance to point these simple truths out to this stranger. Being accused of something that is not true, and being unable to defend myself is really one of the worse feelings.
Sure, it has been years, but even all of this time later, and with all of my parenting successes, I still worry that without the entire story, without a complete history of my parenting career, that others will assume that the blue-slushy/appetizer combo is the usual fare for my family that I am somehow being awful to my children. This is the reason I usually fight so hard to defend my choices and to eliminate any chance for misunderstanding. This is the reason that I order the healthiest thing on the menu for my children and then spend the rest of the night fighting with them to eat it.
I really do strive to adopt the fun attitude that my husband has about allowing the kids to be kids while we are out. I do want to practice stepping out of my comfort level and leave behind the shame that I felt when that person accused me of being a terrible parent once and for all. It would be so much more relaxing to stop trying to prove that I have the kids, and every single public situation under perfect control so that no stranger will ever misunderstand me ever again. Even if I did run into that rude person again, or someone just like them, the chances are that they would not be swayed to be more understanding or polite by listening to my explanations. And that is frustrating for me. But, that scenario has not happened again in 14 years, so perhaps I can finally loosen up a little and feel confident that the choices I make are reflected in the health and well-being of my children, not in the eyes of strangers. Perhaps.
The waitress comes by to coo at the baby and ask if we need anything else. Smiling at my stunned kids, I ask for the dessert menu and hope that they have cheesecake for me and big sundaes with sprinkles for the kids. It's a start.

TAB brings extra Zing to cricket
14 November 2013
TAB brings extra Zing to cricket
The TAB proudly announces that it has partnered with New Zealand Cricket to bring new innovative Zing technology to the HRV Twenty20 tournament to make New Zealand's most exciting cricket competition even more entertaining.
First introduced in Australia's Big Bash competition last summer, the popular innovation uses a sensor in the bails to determine within 1/1000 of a second when the wicket is broken, and make the wickets instantly burst into bright red flashing LED light.
TAB Zing Wickets make their debut this Friday in the Otago Volts v Northern Knights game in Hamilton.
TAB Head of Sports Betting Simon Thomas said "This is the latest advance in the evolution of cricket technology and we're very proud to bring it to New Zealand for the first time".
To celebrate the new technology, the TAB is introducing new betting options based around which wicket will be the first dismissal by Zing – when the ball hits the wickets – in each innings. Zing dismissals are bowled, run-out, stumped and hit wicket.
"The TAB is delighted to bring another element of excitement to cricket betting this season. There's a fair bit of chance as to which wicket will be the first to fall by Zing – by our reckoning roughly one in every three wickets will be out that way – so there are plenty of opportunities for punters to cash-in on cricketers lighting-up the stumps," said Mr Thomas.
NZC GM Domestic
Cricket, David Cooper said "The TAB Zing Wickets will
provide another element of excitement to the night time HRV
Twenty20 matches. The LED lighting system flashes when the
wickets are broken and this creates a visual effect in
stadia and on television – we are thrilled to have
partnered with the TAB to bring this technology to New
Developed to enhance viewers' entertainment experience, TAB Zing Wickets will be in use for all remaining televised HRV Twenty20 games starting with this Friday's match in Hamilton.

The Approach
After walking around the garden with the customer and discussing ideas, a proposal was created of how the water feature could look. Upon agreement with the customer a quote was submitted for the works.
The Construction
The site was cleared and excavated and shaped to accommodate the new pond and cascades. A butyl liner was installed and rockwork positioned to form cascades and surrounds.
Pump, pipework and filtration system were installed.
Once all the rockwork was completed work commenced on the construction of a bridge and a deck walkway.
The Outcome
The final stage was planting of the surrounding borders and pond.
As a final touch it was decided that the roof of the well needed to be rebuilt and covered with copper tiles to match with one of the other garden buildings.

Hi MichaelReplyDelete
Have you ever heard My Summer Star before?
- AnonymousFebruary 15, 2014 at 3:58 PM
thanks for the work you spend on the site and for sharing that wonderful music of the mid-60 (mostly unknown to me). Some look forward to each new release. Greetings from Portugalete.ReplyDelete
As a record collector I come across some 45's that I know little about. I was hoping to spur conversation about the groups by the postings from people who are more knowledgeable than myself. In some cases that has been successful while others I am still waiting to learn more. Thanks for the kind words.ReplyDelete
Hi Johnnie, I have this band as from Fairhaven, MN. The SJW # dates it to August 1966.ReplyDelete
Thank You Max for sharing this. I was way off on the bands location. As always I appreciate your comments.ReplyDelete

The weekend before last, I organized a printing workshop at a nearby hotel. Julie, aka The Jazz Pixie, joined along with her friend Carol who is new to altered books. They came all the way from England complete with a Gocco print machine in one of their suitcases!
Julie and I have traded mail art for about three years now, but never met in "real life." Admittedly, it was scary to meet in person when previously we only connected online in art groups. But I'm so happy we were brave enough to do it because we had a creative explosion of a weekend, a complete retreat from a "normal" world.
My experience with printing has been 4-color CMYK and monoprinting (one-color stamping or linoleum type hand printing). What a luxury to be introduced to screen printing!
This magical little machine of Julie's, together with my laser printer could image screens that made incredibly fine-quality prints. Naturally, I prepared some pretzels although Julie had to re-size my files in order to fit them to the screens.
Julie brought such an amazing selection of ink choices, I was able to print gold prezels, bronze pretzels, and experiment with red pretzels (which at some point started looking like lips). Having mostly cream and white card stock pre-cut to A5, it was still fun to try a few prints on assorted color papers as well as cut-to-size ATCs...
Because the Gocco machine manufacturer in Japan has gone out of business, the consumables are no longer readily availalbe. Julie was so generous sharing her bulbs and screens, even leaving me with a scraper-squeegie tool so that I can try hand printing the screens at home.
The black and white photo is a grayscale image of a pretzel arrangement and the brown photo is the print result! The last photo is three of the same pretzel, run through three different photoshop filters and their respective print results...!

Whether you use design and build or a more traditional approach to your project will ultimately depend on your own objectives and your own understanding of the best method to deliver them. This goes right back to how you would like to develop the brief and how much risk you want to take on with a project.
What is beyond doubt is that design and build is the route for you if you need to minimise costs, want certainty about budget, need the project to be completed on time, demand an exceptionally well designed and practical end result, are happy to work directly with one firm that is responsible for all major aspects of the project and are looking for a project that will be completed to a high standard – your own.
Before choosing a partner, you should look beyond their business model and ask pragmatic questions. Look closely at certain key factors about how they work including the skill and experience of the designers working on the job, your own budget and expectations and, finally, the ability of firms to implement the design to the right standard. Not only can design and build offer outstanding end results, you are also less likely to face divided opinions and a backlash from people who don't like the sort of workplace that has been designed as much to look 'interesting' in a portfolio as it is to meet your own needs.
Another important point in favour of design and build is the contractor's ability to better integrate the complex demands placed on modern workplaces, especially legislative, health and safety, technological and environmental concerns. The solution delivered by the contractor should be practical as well as elegant.
One significant thing to bear in mind is that around a fifth of all projects, regardless of how they are developed, will have major defects of some sort. The way that design and build projects are set up means that in the majority of cases, the costs to put problems right are absorbed by the contractor, whereas problems associated with traditional projects are more frequently left to clients to resolve.
Finally, if problems do arise, using a design and build contractor as a single point of contact means there is usually significantly less scope for contractors to get involved in blaming each other for any defects and overruns that may have occurred. To put it at its most simple: you'll only have one backside to kick. Getting too involved with what happens outside your direct relationship with your design and build partner is a diversion.
The quality of a design is not an intrinsic benefit of any system. That comes down to the talent and experience of individual designers working on the project. A design and build firm is at least as able to employ these skilled individuals as an architectural practice, probably more so.
Working with the right design and build partner means that you will achieve exceptional results. You are also far less likely to divide opinion about the merits of your workplace and can sleep at night knowing the people you're working with are focused exclusively on your own objectives to ensure that the project is completed on time, to budget and to the right standard. In the majority of cases, it's simply a better way of completing a project.
To find out more, download our whitepaper "Design and build; simply better results", which lays out the business case for design and build, explains the process in more detail and will help you reach a decision about the best approach for your project:

Energy Connect shows that energy savings and occupant comfort can be achieved quickly and persistently in large, complex facilities when building operators and mechanics are empowered to solve building performance issues. Five interventions were tested across six diverse healthcare facilities at the second largest health network in North America. Verified first year results show annual energy savings at three facilities from 3% to 12.5% attributable to Energy Connect, and all pilot facilities saved energy. Designated a Landmark Case Study in 2018.MORE »
In a pilot from the fall of 2015 to the fall of 2016, Fort Collins Utilities doubled enrollment rates, converted 44% of energy efficiency assessments to comprehensive upgrades, and doubled average project energy savings. In 2017, this pilot received both Landmark designation and the American Public Power Association Energy Innovator award. The pilot offered a streamlined, turn-key service for homeowners that overcame key barriers to participation such as lack of time to select and meet with contractors, too many complex technical scope of work decisions, homeowner distrust of contractor proposals, and concerns about paying for improvements. The campaign also used a propensity model to target the neighborhoods with the highest potential for saving, and then direct mail marketing to neighborhoods with the highest propensity to participate. This case study was designated Landmark in 2017.MORE »
OhmConnect pays participants to save energy when it's most beneficial to the grid and their wallets. On average, participants save 50-100 kWh at peak times per year per household. This case study highlights three innovative elements of the program: a focus on reducing peak demand with remarkable frequency, flexibility and precision; rich gamification features that encourage user participation; and an option to automate energy savings that was not available until the recent installation of smart meters and widespread availability of smart devices. Designated in 2017.MORE »
Capitol Hill In Motion is a recent evolution of the individualized marketing approach used by King County, Washington State, USA. It illustrates how to further engage communities where most trips are already not drive-alone. With remarkably high signup rates, this campaign also delivered a solid 16% average reduction in drive-alone trips (surpassing the campaign goal and King County's overall goal of a 10% reduction). Designated in 2017.MORE »
Chicago's Go Program is an Individualized Marketing program that helps residents walk, bike, ride transit, and use bike share more frequently, while driving alone less often. Compared with past Individualized Marketing efforts in other cities, the Go Programs have pushed the envelope of inclusive, accessible programming that serves a very broad range of Chicago neighborhoods - and the very high participation rates and positive post-program stakeholder input show that this effort paid off. Because of these successes, the Go Program can serve as a model for other communities looking to integrate equity and diversity in Transportation Demand Management programs. On average, 65% of post-program survey respondents report increased walking, biking, or transit usage because of the program. The program's behavior-changing results led the City of Chicago to designate funding for additional neighborhoods in the future. Designated in 2017.MORE »

Allied health professionals are a vital part of healthcare systems world wide. They are healthcare workers who have been educated in a certain area of medicine, completed clinical training, and then are either registered, certified, or licensed in their field. There are hundreds of different types of positions in allied health, and their titles often vary by country. Allied health professionals are not doctors, nurses, or dentists, but instead are the experts and team members who work alongside or under their supervision.
Most allied health professionals work on teams, though some can work independently. Where a person works depends greatly on the branch of allied healthcare chosen. For example, speech language pathologists are allied healthcare workers. They often work independently of any other healthcare professionals.
Dietitians and nutritionists are another example of allied health professionals who can work independently of a team. It is not uncommon for a dietitian or nutritionist to branch out and start a business, write health-related articles or books, or work as a consultant. Other allied healthcare workers, such as sonographers, will almost always be found working in a hospital or clinical setting, and as a member of a patient's healthcare team.
In general, allied healthcare jobs fall into one of these categories: technician, therapist, or technologist. Because they work under the supervision of other professionals, technicians generally train for a shorter amount of time than therapists or technologists, with education requirements that last around two years or less. Therapists and technologists have greater responsibilities, and therefore educational requirements are more stringent. An anesthesiologist assistant, for example, is a well-paid allied healthcare profession, and requires a great deal of education. A person can expect to dedicate six to eight years to training for this type of position.
Common allied health care job titles include physical therapist, medical assistant, and dental hygienist. There are, however, many less well-known allied health jobs, such as art therapist, dosimetrist, and orthotist.
Allied healthcare professionals often enjoy job security and the possibility of advancement and management positions in their field of expertise. Most countries have organizations that approve allied health training programs, and also represent allied health professionals. Such organizations include the Allied Health Professions Australia, Allied Health Professions Federation in the UK, Allied Health Professions Council of South Africa, and the Association of Schools of Allied Health Professions in the United States.

In the age of technology at our finger tips, we have a ton of great fitness apps literally at our finger tips. If you want an app to track steps or miles, there's one! If you want an app to give you Tabata type workouts, there's one too! You can track your food, your running streak or your races, all with apps! You honestly could download an app a day to get a different type of workout. From fitness trackers to workout apps, there are so many to choose from and to try!
I usually try the free version of most apps before deciding to buy any upgrades or to make them ad-free. It's great if you find an app that let's you unlock workouts as you go along rather than pay for them.
Here's a list of my favorite fitness apps broken up by categories:
Tracking food App
My Fitness Pal
I love the idea of Weight Watchers and their program for tracking points, but once I found My Fitness Pal, I didn't need to pay for WW any longer. The app does just about the same thing, providing the user with a database of about every food possible. Add in the bar code scanner, it makes tracking food that much easier!
Tracking Miles Apps
I use a few different programs to track my miles.
Daily Mile
They just released their own app now and it's amazing!! I love the whole look and ease of it. I also like the data they include in the app. It saves me time from having to look online to see weekly and monthly mileage stats.
Map My Run
I also use the Map My Run app which is linked to my Garmin Connect. Every time I load my Garmin info it posts on Map My Run also. I like the challenges they offer through Map My Run and mapping courses is super easy and it saves it for you to import into your runs. You can use the MMR app to actually track your workout as well.
Workout Apps
I have just a few that I use and like. In order for the app to be a good one, I have to be able to do the workout at home and with minimal amount of equipment.
Quick 4
I like the Quick 4 app. It allows you to pick from several workouts that are very quick paced. It has a tracker and you earn badges as you unlock achievements.
7 minute Workout
This is another quick Tabata-style workout app that gives you a choice of exercises you'd like to complete. As you complete activities, you can unlock additional exercises.
Run Streak Apps
Run Streak
I wish I would have found this app when I first started my running streak. I was keeping track of it on my calendar by hand. I found the app and entered in all of my miles so that it was up-to-date. It keeps track of the day as well as total mileage. You just have to manually enter in the mileage daily, it does the rest for you!
Need to keep up with what races you want to run or are registered for? Look no further than the RaceAddict app. You can add in your races and it keeps a list of them for you right there. You can also marked if you paid for the event or not. I like it a lot to help me not only keep up with races I am running, but for me to double check dates for races I may want to run. You can add in your times after each event also!
All of the apps are for the iphone. I'm not sure if there is an Android version.
What apps are your favorite for running and exercise?
For other fitness apps, you can also check out what other bloggers are sharing for Tuesdays on the Run.
Happy Week!

Saffron, date and almond rice (V)
This dish is inspired by a marvellous Iranian recipe in Claudia Roden's seminal A Book Of Middle Eastern Food. Don't worry if some rice catches on the bottom – it's nice and crunchy. Serves four.
400g basmati rice
Salt and white pepper
110g unsalted butter
100g whole almonds, skin on, roughly chopped
80g medjool dates, roughly chopped
¼ tsp saffron threads soaked in 2 tbsp hot water
Rinse the rice well under running cold water, then put it in a large bowl, cover with lukewarm water and stir through two tablespoons of salt. Leave it to sit for one to two hours, then drain and wash again, this time with lukewarm water.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add two more tablespoons of salt, then add the rice and boil gently for three to four minutes, until almost cooked. Check by trying a grain – it should still have a bit of bite to it. Drain, rinse under lukewarm water and set aside to drain.
In the same pan, melt 80g of the butter and sauté the almonds for four minutes, until slightly golden. Add the dates, cook for a couple of minutes more, then stir through half a teaspoon of white pepper, a quarter-teaspoon of salt and half the rice. Gently flatten this down, then spoon the remaining rice on top. Melt the remaining butter and pour over the top, along with three tablespoons of water. Cover the pan with a tight lid and cook on the lowest possible heat for 35 minutes (a heat diffuser would be handy here). Turn off the heat, spoon over the saffron and its water, cover with a tea towel, put the lid back on and set aside for 10 minutes.
Serve hot, using a large spoon so that you have portions in which the two layers are distinct and separate.
Yellow pepper and Jerusalem artichoke soup (V)
A comforting recipe from my mother, who rarely bothers with the croutons. Follow her, or me. Serves four.
4 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to finish
2 medium onions, peeled and sliced
6 yellow peppers, deseeded and cut into quarters
12-15 Jerusalem artichokes, peeled and quartered (450g net)
750ml vegetable (or chicken) stock
½ tsp caster sugar
Salt and white pepper
20g chopped coriander
For the croutons
½ tsp sweet paprika
½ tsp ground allspice
¼ tsp ground cumin
1 decent-sized chunk of ciabatta, crust removed (50g net weight)
100ml sunflower oil
Heat three tablespoons of the olive oil in a large saucepan, and cook the onions on medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft but not coloured. Add the peppers and artichokes, and cook, stirring, for five minutes, then add the stock, sugar, half a teaspoon of salt and a quarter-teaspoon of white pepper, and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the artichokes are cooked, and take off the heat. Add half the coriander, leave to sit for five minutes, then blend – try to keep a bit of texture.
For the croutons, mix the spices with a quarter-teaspoon of salt and a pinch of white pepper. Tear the bread into 1.5cm pieces, drizzle a teaspoon of water over them, mix to dampen, then toss in the spice mix; shake off any excess. Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan and fry the croutons on medium-high heat for two to three minutes, until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to kitchen towel.
Serve the soup hot with a sprinkle of fresh coriander, the croutons and a drizzle of olive oil.

Rick Coates
Rick is one of the newer members in the Chapter, who joined at the time he was beginning to consider building a Van's Aircraft RV-7. After taking one of the EAA's Sportair workshops on sheet metal and RV assembly, the confidence was set and the order was soon placed. Since that day Rick has found that the challenge is huge in all aspects, from learning the skills, to juggling life, but finds solace in the knowledge there are several experienced folks in the chapter to help if needed.
When not at the chapter or flying from Springbank, Rick is kept busy with a young family and a career in the geosciences. The desire to build a plane arouse out of Rick's renewed interest in flying after taking an eleven year hiatus from piloting small airplanes. Originally he had pursued a career as a pilot but money, then life, kept that dream at bay. Instead Rick became heavily involved in the Army Reserve reaching the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel before retiring in 2011. With more time on his hands having left the reserves, he needed a hobby that was close to home. Limited by what renting Cessna's can offer he developed a desire to own a plane in order find more freedom and different ways to explore the flying experience. A kit build plane seemed like a natural fit although he would be the first to admit that it is not the fastest way to ownership of a flying machine.
Rick riveting parts on one of the future elevators of the Van's RV7 he is building.

It's illegal to pump your own gas in Oregon, the attendant that I spoke to speculated a few reasons "some people say a guy blew up once, others say it's to create more jobs".
I stopped at Crater Lake, created by the inward collapse of a volcano. They've paved a road around its circumference so you can see it from every angle. Worth a stop just to have a look at the midnight blue water and the reflections it casts.
The scenic route to the city of Eugene takes you through miles of black lava rubble, surrounded by volcanoes that were the cause of this alien terrain thousands of years ago. At the hostel in Eugene, I met Andy from Ontario, whose girlfriend actually lives in my hometown of Oakville, small world! We were chatting about this and that and suddenly stopped and stared at each other for a few seconds, while we tried to process the reason that the entire house just shook. I later found out it was an earthquake! A small 4.2 on the Richter scale. No damage done and definitely a cool experience for east coasters like us.
I spent Independence Day in Portland, not an ideal day to check out the city as many of the stores were closed. I did enjoy the outdoor market and eccentric street musicians, one such playing multiple didgeridoos and accompanied by a drummer. Thirty minutes east of the city, I watched the sun go down over the Columbia River Gorge as tiny bursts of fireworks in the distance lit up the sky.
I didn't have an opinion of Washington before visiting, but they had me at Espresso. Instead of having to drink the gas station coffee that I've become so accustomed to, they have little espresso shacks along most roads where you can get anything from a latte to a mocha. These people have their priorities straight.
Stuck at the lift bridge in Aberdeen, Washington, one of the locals was kind enough to fill me in on the details of the ship passing through, named the Lady Washington – which has appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean and Star Trek Generations.
There are at least two parks worth visiting in the state, the first being Olympic National Park. The eerie Ruby Beach with its scattered driftwood, thick fog, and crashing waves. At the north end of the park there's a killer view of its namesake, Mount Olympus, currently half shrouded by the smoke of a fire burning at the south end of the park. The second being North Cascades National Park. You can drive a scenic highway through to the Diablo Lake viewpoint, a great view of the milky teal coloured river and dam that provides most of the power for Seattle.
Seattle's Pike Market is the best I've seen so far, in terms of variety of food, winding alleys, yelling merchants and a smell of fish in the air, It's open every day, year round, and nostalgically reminds me of the ones I've been to in Europe.
Heading to British Columbia next. It'll feel good to cross the border back into Canada. Though I'm not done with America yet. A double dip this trip, I'll be heading back south to hit up Yellowstone and a few other hot spots on my way back home.

A couple years later she got even more on the cosmetic surgery bandwagon which was incidentally when she started to go crazy! After a bit too much partying and a few to many Botox injections she was bonkers... Lindsay Lohan's breast implants increased her breast size significantly! She was a bit of a stick figurine before the surgery. This photo was taken around the time of mean girls. It's about a year before she went nuts. You can see how much her cosmetic surgery changed her. See the progression of her breast size.

Children feel the pain of loss.
Meet friends and talk about your feelings.
Rainbows for God's Children is a program for kids 5 years old through 8th grade, who feel a sense of loss in their lives. The loss could be felt through several ways like the death of a grandparent or parent, the living in a single family or a step-family, or the loss felt through the separation of parents. Rainbows gives the child a chance to share those feelings with their friends in a well structured and monitored program.
Rainbows is a 15 week program that meets in the evening. For further information and a schedule, please call our local coordinators: Claudette Y. Meehan 973-492-9406 or Elaine Porter 973-283-8208

text: Xaaji Xunjuf Posted October 27, 2011 Long before Restore Hope, the joint UN and USA humanitarian campaign in Somalia in early 1990s, a consultant to the UNO on Somalia, advised the USA administration to attempt everything else but not war with Somalis, in his opinion; war is the thing Somalis know best. The USA did not heed to that precious advice and we all remember the way that campaign went wrong – it ended with the famous Black hawk down and that was the last USA chapter of waging war in Somalia – at least an open and all out ground war. That UNO consultant is called Mr. John Drysdale. He knew the closing stages of the campaign even before it was waged. He was not a fortune teller; Mr. Drysdale was some one who had first hand experience of what Somalis are capable to accomplishing in the war field. He was the British administrator of Somaliland more than four decades prior to the debut of that campaign. The Ethiopians were not dissuaded by the USA experience in Somalia. They did not either learn much from their centuries-old wars with Somalis and with the help of the USA air power, they too attacked and captured Mogadishu, but their victory did not last for too long and they were also compelled to a humiliating withdrawal after Somalis taught them a lesson in urban and guerrilla warfare. Now it appears that the Kenyans did not learn much about the history of Somali warfare. In my opinion they too have made very bad miscalculations and do not understand that all Somalis are not the murderous Al-shabaab group and the Transitional Federal government. The Somali population is not the weak and famine-devastated thousands that live in refugee camps in the Northern Frontier district (NFD), which it self is a Somali region given to Kenya in the early sixties, after Kenya gained its independence from Britain. NFD is one of the five Somali territories represented in the star on the Somalia flag. Besides NFD, the other four Somali territories are Somalia, The Republic of Djibouti, The self administered Somali region in Ethiopia and the Republic of Somaliland. The Kenyans fancy to believe that they could win a war and defeat Somalis, it is passable for them to accept as true what they believe, but the truth of the matter is they are playing with inextinguishable fire – a greater Somali fire. By starting a war in this region can easily instigating Somalis to reclaim their Northern Frontier District (NFD). Therefore, I brotherly advise the Kenyans to withdraw immediately before Somalis beat the drums of war, believe me that will not be a good sign for the Kenyans. To give you an example of what that could mean; the recent Kenyan civil unrest will feel just like a picnic in warm summer day on Mount Kilimanjaro. Since its independence from Italy, Somalia is wounded by civil war, famine, terrorism and corrupt incompetent consecutive regimes, but Somalis are far from death and are strong enough to inflict an ever lasting damage to an aggressor. They are also blessed with Muslim and Arab brethren, who will not hesitate to assist them to rebel all enemies from all Somali territories. Kenyans have no business crossing the borders to Somalia; it is illegal under International law and it is morally wrong. If they have beef with Al-Shabaab then they must fight them in their own territory and not inside Somalia. Kenyans must not arrogantly over estimate their economic and military power and must keep in mind, that only Somalis are capable of defeating Somalis and no body else. They must bear in mind that their country is very easily susceptible to be fractured through ethnic and tribal lines. By starting a war with Somalis Kenyan economy and tourist industry can be devastated within hours. It must realize that it can not win the wars lost by super powers. Kenya must not be fooled by the guys who call themselves the TFG of Somalia; these guys lack morality, education, experience and live their lives under the protection of the Ugandan forces tanks in their home – Mogadishu. They can be bought and sold in a junk yard. If the Kenyans trust the strategic analysis of these TFG guys then they are deficient in judgement. Somalis know too well the illegal Somalia territorial water's concession made to Kenya by the illegal and morally corrupt TFG. Somalis are aware of the Azania project that is established by Kenyans through a mercenary force headed by Mr. Gandi, a power Hungary opportunist. Somalis quite appreciate Kenya's geopolitical ambitions, both short and long term strategies. By looking at realities on the ground, these Kenyan dreams are far from becoming true. Kenyans politicians must clear their heads of the myths and wrong assumptions. They are not able to conquer more territories from Somalis, but instead the Northern Frontier District might go back to hands of Somalis. In recent years Kenya was enrich with not only the looting of the Somalia's International assistance through the NGOs operated mafia that consider the humanitarian assistance, war and drought confounded Somalis as their personal spoils of war. Not only that, but Kenya is also benefiting from Somalis who bring with them capital, technical and business expertise to that corruption riddle East African country. Somalis have both directly & indirectly created jobs for millions of Kenyans. Thus, Kenya benefited from Somalia more than any country in the world. For those simple reasons, Kenyans should be grateful to the Somalis and must not try to slaughter the goose that laid the golden eggs. Kenyans and for that matter any other neighbouring country must think twice before they venture to play with Somali fire; it will never die very easily. Somalis might consider moving their businesses and investments from Kenya to neighbouring Republic of Somaliland and The Republic of Djibouti. Both Somaliland and Djibouti are eager to receive their Somali brethren and their investments with open hearts. The United Nations and the donor countries might also consider moving their offices to the more peaceful and politically stable Somaliland, since Kenya is not able to provide security to the foreign diplomats, expatriates and tourists in its country.

The jewellers began a three-day pan-India strike on Wednesday to protest the Budget 2016-17 proposals which envisaged re-imposition of one percent excise duty on gold and diamond jewellery and mandatory quoting of PAN by consumers for transactions above Rs.2 lakh.
"The gems and jewellery industry, with a total turnover of Rs.2-3 lakh crore, is untaxed. The government feels that this economic activity should come into the system and should be taxed," Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) Member Ram Tirath said at a post-budget interaction here at industry chamber FICCI.
He said implementing the proposed levy has been "made as simple as possible".
"One is not required to give any statement of stocks and there are no verifications required," he said.
"Registrations will be granted within two working days of applying," Tirath added.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has proposed a one percent excise duty on jewellery without input credit, or 12.5 percent with input tax credit, on jewellery, excluding silver, other than studded with diamonds and some other precious stones.
The Centre had earlier introduced a one percent excise duty on gems and jewellery in 2005, but dropped the cess subsequently.

This is especially true in the United States.
I have heard from doctors throughout the country who want to know if the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) is a necessary pre-requisite for non-clinical positions.
The answer to this frequent question is - sometimes the USMLE helps and sometimes it doesn't.
What is the USMLE?
You are required to pass parts 1 and 2 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) in order to get your MD degree from a US medical school. And you cannot receive a medical license without passing parts 1, 2 and 3 of the USMLE.
The tricky part is that it is recommended to take part 3 of the USMLE after your internship- and it has been getting harder and harder for foreign medical graduates, international medical graduates, and some US medical graduates to match into residency programs in recent years. More doctors can't match into an internship than ever before, and thus they cannot get a medical license.
And some doctors-in-training already know that they want to get out of clinical medicine early in the medical training process. This is where the question of how to succeed without taking the USMLE comes up.
To find out more about 'dropping out' of residency, see here.
Success without USMLE?
There are numerous success stories of non-clinical doctors who have reached greater salaries and attained more prestigious professional appointments than clinical practice would allow. And some did not rely on licensure or certification.
But, your choices without a medical license are limited, so if you have an opportunity to take licensing exams- don't walk away from the opportunity just so that you can more quickly apply for an entry level non-clinical job. If you are a doctor, you know how to pass exams and you know how to score well. Just do it.
If you have a solid non-clinical offer on the table that you don't want to pass up, then it is understandable that you would want to jump at the chance to build your non-clinical experience if your long-term goal is to become a leader or an executive in the non-clinical arena of healthcare. When you have a solid contract in front of you, if you want to take a break from tests and prove your worth in the non-clinical world, by all means go with your gut. Nevertheless, if you have time to study for your board exams while working that non-clinical job, it is best to do both. (I know, this is not what you wanted to hear)
You can only achieve success without the USMLE if you become distinguished enough that companies want to recruit you. However, it takes some time to build such a stellar resume to be recruitable - and sometimes the entry-level and mid-level work that builds your resume does require medical licensure.
Why take the USMLE?
Whether you are an entrepreneurial minded foreign graduate with years of clinical experience overseas under your belt or whether you are a recent graduate from a medical school in an exotic tropical location or whether you are a U.S. graduate who didn't match- the unpleasant truth is that state licensure and specialty certification opens some doors that your MD does not, even if your goal is in non-clinical work.
So the short answer is- if you don't have a non-clinical offer in place, continue to make yourself the most qualified candidate that you can possibly be. And the USMLE is the most recognized way to do that, even for non-clinical jobs. A medical license is required for most non-clinical positions that require chart review or litigation review. If you have your foot in the door to a non-clinical opportunity, follow the path that best matches your long term goals, but keep in mind that most non-clinical positions are not known for being secure.
If you absolutely cannot take the USMLE, but still want to work, you have to really decide whether you want to stay in the medical field or not. There are other ways to work in the medical field, and becoming an expert in regulatory matters is one of the most powerful steps you can take.
Fortunately, even without the USMLE, there are a number of non-clinical entry level positions which require some form of official specialty certification. For example, a clinical research associate can earn between $40-75/hr without residency, and must take a specialized training course.

If you're paying attention, you'll notice the Metropolitan Council, the Twin Cities regional planning agency, is stirring. They're getting ready to update the Regional Development Framework. The RDF provides the basis for pretty much everything the Metropolitan Council does around four "systems": transportation, aviation, water resources (including wastewater collection and treatment) and regional parks and open space. The RDF sets a framework for specific "policy plans", and it also sets the stage for updating the region's 190 comprehensive plans that control things like local land use, transportation, park land and zoning. If you're interested in having an impact on how local land use decisions get made, this is the place to start.
The RDF was last updated in 2004, and has been implicated by some (along with it's predecessor) in the decentralization of jobs and enabling of sprawl. Others disagree. Whatever the case, there are hints that this update will plot a different course for the region than we've seen before.
At the Council's most recent Committee of the Whole meeting, members reviewed the Draft Vision for the 2040 Framework as well as a draft outline of the new document. At first the new vision seems a little dry, but if you read carefully and contrast it with the old "four policies" from the 2004 update, you'll notice some key differences. For one, note the use of the phrase "multimodal transportation system", which was previously absent and the elimination of wiggle words like "encouraging", "seeking" and "working" from the section referring to natural resources. Perhaps it's just wishful thinking, but I'm also encouraged by the elimination of specific reference to the region's resources versus simply "resources". To me this implies acknowledgement that we're using/abusing resources that come from outside our region, not just inside.
From the COW meeting we also get a preview of who the Council has asked to give them feedback on how the RDF should be updated. If you look closely, you'll spot a fellow Streets.MN contributor. Anyway, this is the time to get involved if you're concerned or interested in the future of the region. Attend a meeting or call your Met Council representative (yes, you have one if you live in the 7-county area).
I assume the Council will be looking for more participation from the general public in the future to update the RDF (if not, definitely start calling your representative), but in the meantime, starting thinking about these three big questions (from the February 15th meeting):
- What do you see as the big issues and challenges facing the region over the next 30 years?
- What roles could and should the Regional Development Framework play in addressing these issues?
- What advice do you have for Metropolitan Council members as the Council embarks on updating the Regional Development Framework?

Don't Just Fight the Law, Change It!
Radiologists have learned to use the legislative system to counteract unfair court rulings.
In the July 2013 Bulletin column entitled "If You Fought the Law," we discussed how and why the College decided not to bring a lawsuit against the federal government over the method and information used to justify reductions in reimbursement for some types of medical imaging.
In that discussion, we noted how, even when someone wins or appears to be winning in court, the other side can ask the legislature to change the law in its favor. The example we provided was the antitrust law against the National Resident Match Program, where conveners of the program convinced Congress to grant the Match a specific exemption from federal antitrust law, after which the court dismissed the antitrust case.
Conversely, when someone loses in court, they may be able to convince the legislature to pass laws that effectively overrule a court decision. Two recent state situations illustrate how this might be accomplished. In the first situation, the Oklahoma Supreme Court had issued a series of rulings that effectively rendered tort reform laws ineffective, including a cap on non-economic damages. In response, the state's physicians convinced the legislature to enact a new Comprehensive Lawsuit Reform Act that raised the damages cap to $400,000, added a certificate of merit requirement, reformed liability rules, and restricted the scope of permissible scientific testimony. Then, in June 2013, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that the act violated the state constitution because it addressed several subjects rather than a single subject as required by the constitution. As a result, the certificate of merit, liability rules, scientific testimony, and damages cap were declared void. Interestingly, at the behest of the physicians, and in possible anticipation of the court ruling, the legislature passed separate $350,000 non-economic damages cap and liability reform bills, which were not affected by the court's ruling and are still in effect. The physicians likely will seek additional separate bills to reinstate the scientific testimony and certificate of merit laws.
Florida is another state in which there has been an ongoing struggle between the courts and the legislature in matters of great importance to physicians. In Florida, physicians who were witnesses, as opposed to defendants, in medical malpractice cases had long been allowed to consult with their personal attorneys before being required to testify about their own treatment of a patient who was a plaintiff. For example, this might apply to a primary care physician in a case involving a claim against a surgeon or radiologist. In late 2012, the Florida Supreme court ruled that all patient information was private and covered by physician-patient privilege. Therefore, a treating physician who was merely a witness could not discuss a patient's treatment with his own lawyer or, for that matter, his insurance company's lawyer. Obviously, this might result in witness physicians making statements that could put them at risk of being sued themselves. In Florida, defense lawyers were not permitted to interview treating physicians prior to filing suit without counsel for the plaintiff present. At the same time, physicians were concerned about a trend in which Florida judges were permitting what were called "similar specialty" physicians such as hospitalists and internists to testify as expert witnesses about standard of care for cases in which specialists were defendants. In response, Florida physicians mobilized their forces and lobbied for a number of new reforms to address these issues. Recently, they claimed success when the Florida legislature passed a bill that solved most of the problems. Florida SB 1762 did the following:
• Effectively overturned the Supreme Court ruling by specifically authorizing providers to discuss their patients' care with an attorney in preparation for testimony, deposition, or other discovery process
• Specifically authorized a provider's defense counsel to interview treating physicians prior to filing suit
• Specifically authorized a provider's defense counsel to interview treating physicians without the plaintiff's counsel present (with some limitations)
• Required standard of care witnesses to be from the same specialty as the provider about whose care they are testifying
When someone loses in court, they may be able to convince the legislature to pass laws that effectively overrule a court decision.
In still other states, courts have ruled that non-economic damages caps are unconstitutional, only to have physicians and their legislative allies successfully work to amend the state constitution to authorize the desired damage caps, thus taking such determinations out of the hands of the courts.
These examples clearly show that losing the first or even subsequent rounds in court does not necessarily mean defeat. Politically active physicians have learned to work within the system to achieve their goals on numerous important issues. The ACR and ACR Association (ACRA) have assisted our members in many of these advocacy efforts and stand ready to do the same for any chapter that requests help in the future.

Agallah f/ Sean Price & Bazaar Royale "Rising To the Top" (2001)
Produced by: Agallah
Sean Price: "That actually was for my demo. Agallah was working on my demo. We would go up to Game Records get fucked up, and knock songs out all the time. We knocked that song out and I had my little son Eli with me, he's like sixteen now. But he was there at the time and I was like, 'Talk.' And he was like, 'Sean P! Yeaaah!' And me and Agallah went in and did the thing. I thought it was just another song on my demo that I was working on. But then Ag had the relationship with Game Records.
"Rock Star Games asked John Scheter for some music for Grand Theft Auto and he gave him that song along with a few others. That was one of the stand out tracks off that. And that was one of the first songs that was [part of] the Sean P comeback. That song to this day is still talked about. And my son got bragging rights on there. I'm glad I did it and I'm glad I had my son on there. He gets his little stardom, little shine off that too."
