Spring 2014
Water is so vital to life and there's usually no shortage in Wales. Modern ecologists and archivists are managers of valuable long term monitoring of both recent and historic data: climate change, extremes of weather, hydropower, and saving endangered species such as freshwater pearl mussels and pine martens.
The cuckoo heralding Spring, the swift screaming its summer joy, the uplands echoing to the call of golden plover and Greenland white-fronted geese returning to winter in the Dyfi estuary: these are all species in trouble. Articles in this edition look at efforts to understand the causes of decline, so that action can be taken to restore populations to health.
Autumn 2013
When the State of Nature report was launched in Cardiff in May 2013, with separate reports for the four countries of the UK, the picture it painted was one of nature in retreat. Yet our environment would be a whole lot worse without the efforts of a huge range of individuals and organisations intent on its management in an intelligent, genuinely sustainable way. Read about the essential work needed to make the return of the beaver a reality, for example; and initiatives designed to brighten the dismal prospects of pollinating insects.
Summer 2013
As holiday-makers head for the beautiful beaches of Wales, we take a look at some of the issues surrounding the marine environment. While governments and decision-makers are grindingly slow to secure protected areas, others take a more active approach with conscientious, long term monitoring, or involving the public in 'citizen science' projects.
Inland there is much hard work restoring meadows and blanket bog, which can only be good news for endangered honeybees, though sites like Crug-y-Byddar are in danger because of a policy loophole.
Spring 2013
This Spring we focus on the work of the National Trust in Wales. The Trust is often associated with the care of stately houses, but it does far more than that: it lives up well to its founding purpose of preserving land of natural beauty, its features, and plants and animals. Wales comes to the fore again with pioneering work at the National Botanic Garden, using plant DNA to 'barcode' the Welsh flora. This work could bring benefits for human as well as environmental health, and other exciting possibilities. We can be justly proud when a national institution punches above its weight like this.

Are the books we love being done justice with the films that proceed them ?
With our ever growing population, modern day society lusts for entertainment and everyday takes steps to destroy more of our greatest paper bound stories and traps an echo of their brilliance in a hollow cinematic shell.
Are books and by extension their authors being treated unjust with video representation of their work?
Is there any great films that come from books? and do they live up to the standards set by the book? Oppositely is their any books that come from films and do they set a standard?
how well is the film industry doing converting these stories into picture and is their any book you would never want to see as a film , where would you draw the line?

What is Sensa? Does it really work? | Tripped Up ThursdayPin It
SOOOOO welcome to Tripped UP Thursday. ...and we might as well just get it out of the way up front. My biggest trip up is food. It is often my drug of choice - it is most certainly my comfort. I love food, all kinds of different food from warm hot steaming soups to spicy Indian curries to a good old Chipotle burrito. ...and that is just the savory stuff... It is extremely hard for me to resist a good sweet treat - EXTREMELY hard.
I know a lot of you are with me. The weight loss industry wouldn't be so massive (pun intended) if you weren't. Here is the thing though...it is so hard to fix anything because food is necessary. You can't just stop cold turkey and never touch it again. You still have to eat. You have to eat to stay alive without eating to excess. Oh how I wish I could just stop for good. No eating - just stop cold turkey - literally.
SO you see my dilemma right? Have to eat...love to eat...need to stop eating so much. So when Sensa contacted me about trying their product, I said YES - I will give it a go! Of course, I did so with some skepticism...the "sprinkle diet" has been panned as a psychological trick and many critics say it doesn't work. At this point though, I am willing to try anything!
Well, here I am a few weeks in, sprinkling the "tasteants" on my food, trying out the drinks and "candy" chews and I have to tell you...it works, but it is not working. What???
...but second: It is NOT working. I am not saying goodbye to any weight yet. Well maybe a pound or two, but nothing significant. The fact is - that has very little to do with Sensa. You see, Sensa cannot take care of the emotional cravings for food. It helps a lot with the physical cravings for food, but the emotional ones, I need to work on on my own.
SO - the moral of the story? I am going to keep trucking along with my Sensa tasteants for at least another 4 months. I'm going to try to get my act together with the treadmill and my own emotional eating. ...and we'll see...should we start a pool on how much weight I will lose??
...and what are your questions about Sensa? Do you think it works? Would you like to try the Sensa Weight Loss Program? What do you find most difficult about losing weight??

Sort By :
Saved this one!! Grandson LOVES pepperoni; plan to make it special for him when he comes to visit.
delicious recipe. Adding pizza toppings would be a good option. Also, instead of starting with the meat mixture on the bottom, I started with the lasagna noodles to hold it together better while cutting. I also did 3 noodles per layer, 3 layers. 4 noodles will not fit in the pan...
Update: I had baked these in two 8X8" dishes and frozen one, and I am wondering if I inadvertently left out the eggs, which would account for why there was so much liquid! Will try again!
Very good. I did think that there was too much liquid in the bottom of the dish (the second time I made it I baked it longer, hoping to reduce the liquid), so next time I think I would add less water.
I altered this recipe slightly and now it taste like, "A pizza in the form of lasagna!" my mother told me!

Godzilla, as its known to its many fans worldwide, is back, and it's leaner, meaner, and hungrier for havoc than ever. Based on what is the most technologically advanced, rewarding and, dare we say, affordable supercar there is, the "new" 2012 GT-R is sure to get your hair standing on end. The monster has been meddled with to get even higher levels of performance out of what is already a very exciting and more than competent package. The mods Nissan engineers have carried out are purely functional, with driving pleasure and dynamic proficiency at the top of the agenda. This is not a "facelift"; there is no Botox or collagen involved.
All of the changes made to the GT-R had one goal attached to the memo; making the GT-R even better. With that comes improved engine output and torque, greater fuel efficiency, revised handling, a refreshed exterior with improved aerodynamics, revised interior treatment, and new wheels and tires. Whew! Now that's a makeover!
The 2012 Nissan GT-R now comes in six different versions: "Pure Edition," "Black Edition," "Premium Edition," "SpecV," ClubTrack," and "EGOIST." The big news of this year is the Egoist edition. It was exclusively created by Takumi, or "master with greatest skills." Each unit will be unique, as customers will be able to choose from a combination of 20 interior colors, four upper area interior colors, and 10 lower area interior colors. The seats are an exclusive quilted design with single and double stitching combined in a reticular pattern.
On the US market, the new GT-R will go on sale in February 2011 with prices starting at $89,950 for the Premium model and $95,100 for the Black Edition.
Updated 01/06/2011: Nissan has revealed the ordering guide for the 2012 GT-R, just one month before the sports car goes on sale (February). The good news is that the option list is quite short, meaning that the GT-R will come fully loaded from the factory. Check out the details after the jump!
UPDATE 03/24/11: We knew that when Nissan decided to give the 2012 Nissan GT-R more ferocious power under its hood, it was only a matter of time before Godzilla drops by the Nurburgring to leave its imprint on the iconic race track. Turns out, that time has finally come. Nissan's new GT-R came to the Nurburgring with 523 horsepower in tow and it showed just how much faster the 2012 version is compared to its 2011 predecessor. With a blazing lap around the 'Ring, the 2012 GT-R clocked in a time of seven minutes and 24.22 seconds, easily destroying the the GT-R record of seven minutes and 26 seconds. While it's still not the fastest car to ever lap he Nurburgring, the 2012 GT-R's impressive run is still living proof that there are only a few cars in this world that can stand up against Godzilla's fire-stewing, rubber-burning wrath. Check out the video after the jump!
Hit the jump for full details on the 2012 Nissan GT-R.
The Nissan GT-R has been on sale in the U.S. market since 2008, and after only four years, the 2012 model will come with a new look, new colors, and a new wheel design.
There is an enlarged fascia and grille openings, a newly refreshed front fascia with aggressive double rectifier fins, and Hyper Daylight and high intensity white-color LED lights. The back of the GT-R gets a redesigned rear bumper that extends the rear by 20mm, a new rear bumper air outlet,a dry carbon rear spoiler, and a newly designed tailpipe finisher with enlarged diameter, all created to provide this monster with a lower center of gravity.
A by product of the re-design sees improved cooling for the radiators (oil, water & intercooler), brakes (front & rear), and even the exhaust. To give you an idea as to how fastidious they were during this exercise, take the new vents in the rear bumper. On toy cars, like a kitted-Corolla, they're there purely for looks, but in the GT-R they serve the purpose of removing turbulence from the rear wheel well, cooling the brakes, and adding in downforce with no drag. Now that's what we call form and function! Bear in mind that, by doing this, they probably achieved less than 1% more downforce and around a 1.5% reduction in brake temperatures. That may not sound like much, but it all adds up and that's what this car is all about – gentle, precise refinement in all the right areas.
For 2012, the GT-R sits on newly designed, lighter, and more rigid forged aluminum 20-inch Rays wheels. The wheel surface comes in a new Hyper Blue Black chrome color with a deep gloss. The wheels are wrapped around Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT 600 DSST CTT tires. Exterior color options will consist of Solid Red, Jet Black, Super Silver, Gun Metallic, Pearl White, Aurora Blue Pearl, and Meteo Flake Black Pearl.
The option list is rather small and includes a Cold Weather Package, carpeted GT-R floor mats, and rear view camera.
The inner beauty of the 2012 Nissan GT-R will shine with a new carbon fiber trim, a newly shaped instrument panel pad and navigation system display finisher, real carbon center cluster finisher, matte black finished switches, expensive, lightweight magnesium gear paddles.
Nissan are now offering a choice of Recaro race-inspired seats for the Black Edition or fuller, more luxurious options for the Pure and Premium editions. Both are leather of course.
The Engine
Probably the biggest modification is under the bonnet, depicted by a striking red valve cover. The standard VR38DETT 3.8-liter V6 twin turbo engine and 6 speed dual clutch transmission have been retained, which speaks volumes of the standard to which they have been engineered. By revising the valve-timing, air/fuel mix ratio, and cranking up the boost, power is up from 475hp to 530hp at 6,400rpm, whilst torque jumps 24Nm to 612Nm at 3,200 - 6,000rpm. That's a pretty significant jump in the power stakes and, although the torque gain doesn't seem that impressive, it is available for more of the time which is great. To cope with the extra grunt are bigger brakes and stickier Dunlop tires. Acceleration times have been released for the 2012 GT-R with the Nissan GT-R Pure Edition model making the 0-62mph sprint in just three seconds!
Thanks to the help of an ultra-low precious metal catalytic converter and a new ECU with super-fast microprocessors, both emissions and fuel consumption are down despite the power increase. Specifically, fuel consumption has been improved to 8.5km/L or 19.9mpg (10-15mode) and 8.6km/L or 20.23mpg (JC08 mode) with emissions seeing a 75% decrease over Japan's 2005 exhaust emission standards.
Quite a few changes have taken place under the bodywork of the Japanese Samurai, mainly in the structural and suspension departments. They have worked on rigidity and body roll with the addition of support members and strut braces that keep the GT-R flat through the corners and more responsive when you turn the wheel. Thicker anti-roll bars and modified springs and dampers help with vertical loads, making the car, again, more responsive to driver input and more stable on the straights – all whilst enhancing ride comfort. If you think that's too good to be true, we don't blame you, but these are Nissan's top engineers after all.
In North America, Europe, and other regions, the new GT-R will go on sale in February 2011 with prices starting at $89,950 for the Premium model and $95,100 for the Black Edition. Japan will be receiving the GT-R in November 2011.
Ever since its official launch, the Nissan GT-R has done battle with the Porsche 911 Turbo . The 911 Turbo is powered by a 3.8 Liter engine that develops 500 HP and 516 lb-ft of torque with the Sport Chrono Package. This allows the Porsche to sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in only 3.4 seconds and reach a 194 MPH top speed. For 2011, Porsche has come out with the 911 Turbo S that boosts the power output to 530Hp, matching that of the 2012 GT-R. These figures allow the 911 to put up some good competition, but then price comes into play. The Porsche 911 Turbo is priced at $132,800 and the Turbo S starts in at $160,700, a significant increase over the Nissan's pricetag.
- Comes well-stocked right from the factory
- Price stands much lower than that of its competitors
- 3.8-liter V6 twin turbo engine producing 530hp and 612 Nm of torque. 'Nuff said.
- Rear seat is a little cramped
- No manual transmission
- Even though the fuel consumption has improved, it's still not as good as the GT-R's competitors

Dog vs. onion rings and other wild pet insurance claims
Find out what happens when a dog eats two pounds of onion rings and a cat goes for a spin in the washing machine.
Mix the family hound with a bag of frozen onion rings and you get a recipe for one sick puppy -- and the winner of the 2013 Hambone Award for the most unusual pet insurance claim of the year.
Veterinary Pet Insurance's annual contest is now in its fifth year and is named after an ambitious dog that ate a thigh-sized holiday ham while stuck in a walk-in fridge. Top honors this year go to Winnie, a mixed breed canine belonging to the Bowser family of Barnstable, Mass. Winnie's odyssey began when the Bowsers, rushing out of the house to pick up their daughter after putting away groceries, accidentally left a two-pound bag of onion rings in the kitchen.
"When we returned home, we had a very guilty-looking dog and an empty bag on the floor," recalls Kyle Bowser, pictured with Winnie at right.
Not a big deal, the Bowsers thought, Winnie may get a little queasy is all. But after Kyle's husband posted the story and a photo of Winnie on Facebook, a friend told them that onions and dogs don't get along. That led to some research, which led to a trip to the vet.
"I did some quick investigating and found out that onions aren't just bad for dogs, they are extremely toxic and can cause anemia," Kyle said in a press statement. "After reading that, I immediately called the Pet Poison Helpline, and they instructed me to take Winnie to the veterinarian."
After clearing Winnie's stomach, the vet fed her charcoal to absorb toxins. Still concerned that the onion rings could cause anemia, tests were ordered to see if Winnie's blood cells had been compromised. The tests were negative.
A good outcome, but Carol McConnell, Veterinary Pet Insurance's (VPI) vice president and chief veterinary medical officer, warns that onions can be dangerous when eaten by cats and dogs.
"Onion ingestion can be extremely harmful because the vegetable contains thiosulphate, an ingredient that is toxic to cats and dogs," McConnell said in a press statement. "Onion poisoning disrupts the pet's red blood cells circulating the body which may lead to hemolytic anemia. In extreme cases, the pet may need a blood transfusion."
Adam Fell, a VPI spokesman, says Winnie's tale was recently picked by more than 6,000 visitors to its website from about 1.1 million of the Brea, Calif.-based company's pet health insurance claims. Fell added that the Hyannis Animal Hospital in Yarmouth, Mass., where Winnie was treated, will receive $10,000 from the Veterinary Care Foundation to treat pets owned by people unable to afford care.
Mixing felines with your darks in the washer
Second place went to Natasha, a Siberian Forest cat from Oakland, Calif., who spent 35 minutes trapped in a washing machine, enduring a full wash cycle. "My roommate was loading his laundry and left the lid to the washing machine open while he went to the next room to grab more clothes," her owner Daryl Humdy said in a press statement. "He came back, threw his clothes in, and shut the lid to the washing machine without realizing that Natasha had jumped into it while he had been away."
Natasha was treated for shock and hypothermia, but survived the ordeal without any injuries. Natasha is fine these days -- she remains curious about most things, but keeps her distance from the washing machine.
Pet insurance basics
Besides VPI, several companies offer pet health insurance, including Healthy Paws, PetPlan, 24PetWatch, Embrace and Trupanion. Most sell similar protection. VPI, for example, offers a comprehensive plan for dogs that costs $25 to $35 a month. The same coverage for cats is $15 to $22 a month, with both paying a limit of $14,000 in vet expenses a year. VPI's basic "economical" coverage is $19 to $27 a month for dogs and $12 to $17 for cats. The maximum benefit for the economical plan is $7,000, says Fell.
But, as with other pet insurers, there are restrictions. VPI doesn't cover animals age 10 or older and won't reimburse for "elective procedures, congenital conditions, pet foods, grooming, behavioral problems and pre-existing conditions," according to the company's website.
Pets and homeowner liability
Dogs can be loyal, affectionate companions -- they can also bite people. In fact, dog-bite liability claims in 2011 comprised more than one-third of all homeowners insurance liability claims. This cost insurers about $479 million in 2011, up 16 percent from the previous year, according to the Insurance Information Institute (III). The average cost of a dog-bite insurance claim was $29,396 in 2011, according to the III.
Farmers Insurance, for instance, recently began eliminating homeowners liability coverage for dog-bite claims involving pit bulls, Rottweilers and wolf-dog hybrids. Farmers isn't canceling policies, but it does want clients who own these breeds to sign exclusion coverage waivers. Policies won't be renewed without the waivers.
Similar to Farmers, other home insurers won't include certain breeds in policies and requires customers to sign a waiver making them responsible for any lawsuits or health care costs connected to their dog's behavior.
Other insurers will ask you questions about your dog's history and will consider coverage on a case-by-case basis. State Farm is one example: Though the company paid more than $109 million as a result of nearly 3,800 dog-bite claims in 2011, State Farm does not refuse insurance based on the breed of a customer's dog.

I am part of Haplogroup L1b, one of the oldest female lineages on Earth.
Haplogroup L1b, a subclade of L1 which arose about 100,000 YBP (years before present), itself appeared on the African mitochondrial DNA scene approximately 30,000 years ago. It is found in the peoples of north, west and central Africa.
L1b is found in highest frequency (13%) in West Africa most likely due to the Bantu Expansions. In a recent study by Dr. Bruce Jackson et al, areas such as Sierra Leone, have been found to occur in from 12-27% of Mende, Limba and Loko samples tested. L1b is also found in high frequency in the Mandenka, Wolof and Fulani of Senegal. As a result of the Atlantic Slave Trade whereby natives from Sierra Leone were brought to North America and specifically the South Carolina area, L1b is also found in 10% of African Americans.
The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence that we determined from you sample shares ancestry with people in several countries today: Balanta and Fula peoples in Guinea-Bissau, the Mende people in Sierra Leone, and the Mandinka people in Senegal.

It seems as if the case against the fifth and final suspect in the Brecksville bomb plot is heading to court.
His case has been delayed for a psychiatric review.
Newsnet5.com reported that Joshua Stafford of Cleveland is schedulde to appear before an Akron federal court judge on Friday.
The judge is expected to hear legal briefs on Stafford's "psychiatric" issues.
The four men, along with Stafford, of Cleveland, were arrested after attempting to blow up the state Route 82 bridge in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park on April 30.
Brandon L. Baxter, of Lakewood; Connor C. Stevens, of Berea; and Douglas L. Wright, of Indianapolis; and Anthony Hayne of Cleveland; all pleaded guilty last year.
They were all sentenced to federal prison.
This won't be Stafford's first time in a court room.
With a listed address of Lorain Avenue in Cleveland — and arrested in that city — he's also previously faced charges in Lakewood.
In August 2010, he pleaded guilty in Lakewood Municipal Court to charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor; giving false information to a police officer; and possession of drug paraphernalia.
In Lorain County, he also was charged by the Avon Lake Police on four separate occasions, with charges that include criminal trespassing; theft and receiving stolen property; and attempted breaking and entering.

Open Compliance Program Releases New Resources
Additional paper from Ibrahim Haddad added to the foundation's collection.
The Linux Foundation announced the inclusion of additional resource materials for their Open Compliance Program.
The Open Compliance Program was announced in August at LinuxCon 2010. The program is designed to decrease the legal concerns present in open source adoption by providing tools, training, documentation, self-assessmetn checklists, and a standard license report format, , so that open source adopters could instantly identify the type of license and the terms they were then subject to within any open source product.
Since that announcement the foundation has had three papers available on the publications page, covering software compliance, good FOSS practices, and challenges and kernel development. Now, the program has additional material from Ibrahim Haddad, Ph.D. A respected writer, Dr. Haddad's newest contribution to the Linux Foundation's Open Compliance Program documentation is a paper titled "A Glimpse Into Recommended Practices in a FOSS Compliance Management Process." The paper can be freely downloaded here.
The Linux Foundation expects additional resources by year's end including the second part of Dr. Hassad's paper. On October 1, the Open Compliance Program released the self-assessment checklists as a free download.

"My first month in office I would like to see a turnaround at the hospital, be able to see an improvement in the amount of time the units have to spend to transfer patient care." They are big goals but the new chief of Detroit's EMS, Sean Larkins, is ready to make them happen. He's been on the job less than two weeks and is already making changes, starting with a morale boost. He wrote an open letter to his team his first day on the job. "To let them know that I appreciate what they do; let them know them that deep down, regardless of this position, I am still a street medic, will always be one and that I will be out there with them. I will be out there on the rigs with them, in uniform and taking runs," he says. Larkins was hired as a street medic in Detroit in 1995. Detroit has one of the busiest EMS systems in the country, about 300 runs every day and even more in the summer. For years, Detroiters have demanded better city services and faster responses. Today, Detroiters wait an average of 20 minutes for an EMS to show up, and during that wait - many have died. The goal is to get response times down to eight minutes -- that's the national standard -- but the response time doesn't rest solely on EMS crews. Dispatchers, private partnership agreements and even union negotiations all play a role. Larkins says for the first time, all of these moving parts are finally starting to work together. Now it's time for you at home to do your part by not relying on an ambulance for a sprained ankle or a free ride to the doctor. "To hear on the radio that there is a life-threatening emergency around the corner and, had you not been tied up on a non-emergency run, you could have responded around the corner to a true emergency," Larkins says. He is working to secure more ambulances scheduled to arrive this summer. Detroit just got 23 new rigs but the new fleet is already deteriorating."These 23 brand new rigs are taking a lot of abuse. These city streets are very hard on the suspension on these rigs; they're hard on the brakes. ... No other place are these rigs running around the clock like they do in Detroit. ... If your rig can survive the streets of Detroit, then your engineers got it right," he says. Sixty-eight vacancies also need to be filled. The city is holding a job fair Feb. 28 - March 1. Sean Larkins says he wants to fill all of those vacancies, start an EMS education program for kids and get response times down to an acceptable level within his first year.

My daughter plays almost daily. These reeds last her one month each. That seems pretty good to me for the price.

Served me well as a returning student, but they raised the price and are no longer a value.
By John from Texas on 11/17/2012 7:48:46 PM
This reed has had mixed results. The last reeds I purchased play almost a half step flat and close-off when adjusting pitch. They may work fine if someone is playing alone, but not in an ensemble where matching pitch is desired.

Three small fires that happened at Kirwan One Residence Hall on UK's campus have prompted a crime alert from the University.
Some students living in Kirwan said they didn't think much of the fires at first. But as the incidents continue to happen, their concern is growing.
"It was just different," Jonathan Firquin said. "I mean we walked in and smelled something burning, so it's kind of freaky."
Firquin added, "I didn't think it was such a big deal – just something burning. But then I found out that there's been three other fires and that's getting a little scary."
UK Freshman Jared Rondinelli said the fires have happened at night after visitation hours have ended.
"I think it's slightly ridiculous that fires are occurring inside a dorm where people live," Rondinelli said. "And the people that live inside the dorm are the ones setting the fire, so that doesn't make sense."
Other freshmen who live in Kirwan One have mixed reactions to the fires:
"That's terrible that someone wants to burn down our dorm. That's where we live. Where are we supposed to go if this burns down, you know." – Tanner Blain
"I think it will be ok. I think it's been blown out of proportion." – Alexander O'Neill
"That's something that shouldn't be happening. Ever." – Jajuan Kaith
"It's more of a joke than anything. So I don't think people are taking it too seriously." – Nick Merlinn
"It does make me mad that my stuff could possibly catch on fire... or myself." – Jared Rondinelli
"It's weird. What are people thinking? But it's really not scaring me that bad." – Jonathan Rogers

New performance measures have been released for monitoring the use of medications designed to help patients end their dependence on opioids and alcohol, according to a Jan. 24 press release from The Washington Circle, a policy group focused on improving substance abuse treatment.
The new measures are the first standard set for monitoring use of medications as part of individual treatment plans and are meant to be used in administrative claims and in electronic health records. They are designed to allow treatment providers and health plans to determine whether medications approved by the FDA for treating alcohol and opioid dependence are being prescribed for patients who could benefit from them.
The performance measures were pilot-tested in a Washington Circle study led by Dr. Cindy Parks Thomas of Brandeis University and funded by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Based on data drawn from Medicaid, private health plans, and the Veteran's Health Administration, the study found that "medication-assisted treatments were initiated in a timely manner in less than 20 percent of individuals who might benefit."
"Medication assisted treatment (MAT) for these disorders is an effective practice that is largely underutilized," said Thomas. "With the introduction of these new measures, it is now possible for health plans to track their performance in the use of this treatment. Such information can be made available to consumers so they can be better informed about the care delivered within their health plan."
Treatment providers, health plans, and insurers will be able to use the new measures. "Our goal is to have a suite of measures available to health care plans and providers that hopefully will accelerate the use of this evidence-based practice in treating addiction," said Dr. Frank McCorry, who chairs the Washington Circle. "Not only will the use of MAT improve outcomes for patients, it will save money, since untreated addiction is a major driver of health care costs among persons with chronic health conditions."
A related study, "Advancing performance measures for use of medications in substance abuse treatment," appeared in the January 2011 issue of the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment.
For more information about the performance measures, contact The Washington Circle.

The unofficial kickoff for Tucson's peak tourism season and fittingly, it's all about soccer.
The annual Tucson Association of Realtors Shootout has begun. Hundreds of teams with thousands of players, coaches and family members are in Tucson from all over the country.
It's being called the biggest youth soccer event in the Southwest and it's expected to bring in millions of dollars to our local economy.
The soccer shootout consists of 358 teams this year. That's teams from all over the region including New Mexico, California, Texas and Mexico.
Take into account each player and their family paying for hotel rooms, dining out and shopping. That adds up to $3.1 million dollars.

Improve health, fitness, and quality of life through daily physical activity.
Released in 2008, the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans (PAG) is the first-ever publication of national guidelines for physical activity. The Physical Activity objectives for Healthy People 2020 reflect the strong state of the science supporting the health benefits of regular physical activity among youth and adults, as identified in the PAG. Regular physical activity includes participation in moderate and vigorous physical activities and muscle-strengthening activities.
More than 80 percent of adults do not meet the guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities. Similarly, more than 80 percent of adolescents do not do enough aerobic physical activity to meet the guidelines for youth. Working together to meet Healthy People 2020 targets via a multidisciplinary approach is critical to increasing the levels of physical activity and improving health in the United States.
The Physical Activity objectives for 2020 highlight how physical activity levels are positively affected by:
New to Healthy People 2020 are objectives related to policies targeting younger children through:
Regular physical activity can improve the health and quality of life of Americans of all ages, regardless of the presence of a chronic disease or disability.1, 2 Among adults and older adults, physical activity can lower the risk of:
Among children and adolescents, physical activity can:
For people who are inactive, even small increases in physical activity are associated with health benefits.
Back to Top
Personal, social, economic, and environmental factors all play a role in physical activity levels among youth, adults, and older adults. Understanding the barriers to and facilitators of physical activity is important to ensure the effectiveness of interventions and other actions to improve levels of physical activity.
Factors positively associated with adult physical activity include:
Factors negatively associated with adult physical activity include:
Older adults may have additional factors that keep them from being physically active, including lack of social support, lack of transportation to facilities, fear of injury, and cost of programs.4
Among children ages 4 to 12, the following factors have a positive association with physical activity:
Among adolescents ages 13 to 18, the following factors have a positive association with physical activity:
Environmental influences positively associated with physical activity among children and adolescents include:
People with disabilities may be less likely to participate in physical activity due to physical, emotional, and psychological barriers. Barriers may include the inaccessibility of facilities and the lack of staff trained in working with people with disabilities.7
Healthy People 2020 reflects a multidisciplinary approach to promoting physical activity. This approach brings about traditional partnerships, such as that of education and health care, with nontraditional partnerships representing, for example, transportation, urban planning, recreation, and environmental health. (For more information, see http://www.physicalactivityplan.org/theplan.htm.) Several new objectives reflect this emphasis—for example, physical activity policies regarding childcare (Objective 2020-9) and environmental settings (Objective 2020-15).
Data sources that are representative of the entire Nation are needed to monitor key characteristics of the environment, such as the availability of parks and trails, the usage of these spaces, and policies that promote physical activity at worksites, in communities, and in schools.

Banks want to pay you to open an account
Be sure to check the fine print so you'll get your $100 (or higher) bonus.
Just when we think our banks don't love us anymore, they start sending flowers -- at least to some of us.
While banks are adding fees with one hand, they are offering us money with another, in hopes of luring desirable checking account customers.
And the bonuses offered to sign up for new checking counts are substantial: $50 here, $100 there, even $300. Like any relationship, these come with strings attached, but if you qualify, you can pick up some free money.
How do you find these offers? Some of them will find you. Chase, for example, has sent numerous offers to its credit card and mortgage customers in the last year, offering $100 or $125 for opening a new checking account, though none of these offers appears to be in effect now.
- Bing: Find a credit union
Several blogs have lists of bank bonuses for opening accounts. EMoney Central has a list that includes $200 from Union Bank and $100 from Bank of the West, among other offers, and Deposit Accounts includes several other deals on its list. Credit Card Outlaw has a post on its favorite checking account bonus deals. Monitor Bank Rates also lists bank bonus deals, including one from Citibank offering a $100 bonus to AT&T Universal credit card holders who open new Citibank checking accounts.
With new restrictions on credit card fees and overdraft fees, the offers are likely to keep coming, SmartMoney reports. "Banks are wondering how they'll recoup some of their lost revenue, so they're focusing on generating revenue through checking accounts and debit card activity," Ron Shevlin, a senior analyst with market research firm Aite Group, told SmartMoney.
Not everyone is eligible for all offers. In addition to meeting whatever rules the banks set for qualifying for an account, you sometimes have to live in areas where banks are trying to increase business.
Here are a few current promotions:
- Open a new checking account at Bank of America with a minimum balance of $500 and get $100. This deal, good through Feb. 28, requires you to keep the account open at least 30 days and make at least one debit card transaction.
- Open a new checking account where Capital One has branches (Connecticut, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York and Texas) and get $300.
- Open a brokerage account at TD Ameritrade and deposit $100 a month for a year and earn $100. This promotion, first announced in Suze Orman's "Women & Money," published in 2007, has been in effect for several years and is open until March 31.
If you decide to take advantage of one of these offers, be sure to read the fine print. Most come with a list of requirements, such as requiring direct deposit from an employer, a certain number of debit card transactions, minimum balances and other restrictions. If you don't follow the rules, you don't get the money. And, of course, you want to make sure that fees associated with the accounts don't negate any bonuses.
If you're looking for the best interest rate, these may not be the best deal. Make sure you can't earn more interest elsewhere than you would get as a bonus.
Convenience is also an issue. Transferring money from one of my online accounts to another account takes five business days, an incredibly long amount of time for an online transfer. (Putting money into the account, in contrast, takes less than a day.)

Pictures are forbidden at the Soho House in WeHo, but I don't believe in abiding by rules that don't suit my fancy. The Soho House in LA is slightly reminiscent of the decor at the Hudson in New York and the SLS Hotel - very Philipe Starck-esque with lots of nautical themes throughout. Might I add - watching films in the theatre is simply the best. I'm not one for wanting McMansions, but I would love a film room with lux seating - one that's modern, of course.
Monochrome situations in LA and San Fran. This was when we just moved into a brand new place together, and many pictures were taken as we lounged about in different locales. #so2013

Exploring Eden
If ever there was a place very Eden like in America, I would say Los Angeles would be it. The weather is always ideal, and there is always an opportunity to get away from it - San Fran for when you're craving a sunny/gloomy day, the mountain tops for a quick ski trip, and desert in Palm Springs.
When I first moved to LA, my friend Cara and I would make it a point to explore different areas around our 'hood. We lived in WeHo at the time, and she had walked past this particular nursery and thought it was worth capturing. I donned a very feminine shirt dress made entirely of silk and my favorite strappy heels for our walk. For some reason, I couldn't entirely get in the mood for being captured, but I think the results were more authentic.
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of perching at a downtown restaurant by the name of Perch. It provided the most beautiful views that were especially picturesque on this particular evening with the mixture of clouds + lighting reflected in the sky. I would highly recommend Perch for a group outing or for a romantic evening.
I met my friend Rina a few years ago when we were both working at a high-end jewelry store in Minneapolis. We hit it off right away - she liked to mock the way I sauntered up and down the stairs as though there was a spotlight on me, and I liked her energy and ability to make me laugh at any/every thing.
This past weekend, Rina and I were able to get together for brunch and drinks, walk around and make fools of ourselves in Santa Monica. I couldn't ask for a better way to spend a Saturday morning/afternoon. We snapped a hundred or so photos hanging out in The Penthouse where we dined. {Should you happen to frequent The Penthouse for brunch, might I suggest the bacon waffles with eggs over easy on top. It was decadent and satiated all my cravings.}
Idk why but there is such a Parisian feel in the air tonight. #losangeles #junegloom
Recently, I saw a pair of ceramic knuckle dusters from artist Charles Krafft. (Um, click on the links if you haven't already - such whimsy and attention to detail!) Then today whilst perusing art I ran into the ceramic pieces crafted by Magnus Gjoen above.
I don't know how one can display ceramic pieces in a modern, minimalist way (perhaps as desk accessories?), but I am a fan! I love the detail and the texture/temperature of ceramic. There's a feeling of fragility at hand, and then to have something like canned soup or knuckle dusters in ceramic form - I'm sold.

Welcome to the new recession
It may not have felt like it, but stocks have been in a 4-year bull market. That's coming to an end as a new recession nears -- and in fact, may already be here.
It may be hard to believe, but the bull market is turning four years old. And from the looks of things, it isn't going to make it to its fifth birthday.
That's because, despite the nice little Santa Claus rally Wall Street's been enjoying over the last few weeks and rising hopes of a "fiscal cliff" deal in Washington, some serious warning signs for both the market and the economy are emerging. In fact, one of the most respected economic forecasters in the business believes we're already in a new recession.
If true, now's no time for aggressive optimism. Instead, it's time to move to cash and batten down the hatches for what looks to be a rough 2013.
I'll explain why in a moment, but first, let's review how we got here.
Following the Fed
Just as a wintry chill was setting in, between Thanksgiving and Christmas 2008, the economy faced an imploding housing market and financial-system meltdown. At the Federal Reserve, desperate policymakers decided to start using freshly created dollars to buy mortgage securities. This drive, which came to be known as "quantitative easing" or QE1, was expanded in early 2009 to include Treasury bonds.
Corporate bonds, which have been an area of focus for the average investor this cycle, responded right away. Stocks, initially disappointed by President Barack Obama's election, found their footing in the spring, and the bull market was on. The economy didn't respond until the summer, while the job market took a full year to begin turning around.
Anthony Mirhaydari
The year that followed was promising until a government bond crisis in Dubai revealed that developed governments were overextended. Then, the impact of U.S. stimulus spending faded. That was followed by Greece kicking off the ongoing eurozone woes. Central banks kept the economic ball rolling with an alphabet soup of programs that all amounted to the same thing: more cheap money.
Things slowed, job growth leveled off, and stocks have pretty much been sliding sideways since the Fed ended its second round of quantitative easing, known as QE2, in mid-2011. Investors have pulled out since then. The U.S. economy is barely moving forward.
So while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) climbed more than 120% from its March 2009 low to its September 2012 high, there is evidence that the current bull market has run its course.
And now, the drag
With rich-world governments collectively set to tighten their budgets by 1% of combined gross domestic product, according to the International Monetary Fund (1.3% here at home, worth nearly $180 billion next year) more weakness lies ahead.
This fiscal drag is already baked in. It could be made worse by any turmoil related to the process, from a fiscal cliff breakdown here at home to ongoing political tension in Europe or a bond market revolt in Japan.
What's scary about all this is that the recent slowdown has happened despite very aggressive action by the major central banks. The Fed is currently engaged in unlimited quantitative easing (QE3 plus QE4) of $85 billion a month, saying it will continue until the unemployment rate falls below 6.5% or the inflation rate rises above 2.5%. The European Central Bank has threatened unlimited bond purchases if a country -- such as Spain -- requests help and commits to a budget-cutting plan. Prime Minister-elect Shinzo Abe of Japan has said he will push the Bank of Japan to engage in unlimited bond-buying. The Bank of England is pushing hard, too.
It seems the global economy just isn't responding to cheap-money stimulus anymore as the credit channel remains constrained. Governments and households are focused on paying off debts, not borrowing more cheap money, while banks are busy rebuilding their capital reserves.
The stock market doesn't seem impressed, either: The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) actually finished with a loss on the day the Fed announced QE4 -- the first time stocks have moved lower in response to a new round of quantitative easing.
Welcome to the new recession
In fact, the folks at the Economic Cycle Research Institute, who have made some remarkably prescient calls on the business cycle over the last few decades, believe we are already in a recession that started in July.
Corporate executives have pulled back on capital expenditures in a big way, sending ripples throughout the supply chain. Industrial production is on a downward glide path despite a temporary lift from Superstorm Sandy rebuilding. Small-business confidence has collapsed. Personal income is down. All are consequences of the fact that real equipment and software spending -- a proxy for capital spending -- has suddenly sliced into recessionary territory.
According to UBS economists, the recent lift in the job market is at odds with this, which is one reason I've been hammering on about the questionable veracity of the recent drop in the unemployment rate to 7.7%. A better measure of the job market, the employment-to-population ratio, is flat-lining near early 1980s levels. The disconnect is illustrated in the chart above.
Surprise, surprise. The drop in corporate investment and overall stupor of the global economy is starting to negatively impact corporate earnings -- which had been a rare bright spot over the past few years, thanks to strong foreign demand (from consumers in emerging-market nations) and the ability to make deep, harsh cuts to the jobs, wages and benefits offered to American workers.
You can see this in the way unit labor costs -- a measure of labor expense -- have stalled near prerecession levels despite the fact the economy has grown $312 billion over its prerecession peak to help push corporate profits to record highs.
That is what threatens the bull market.
Basically, the s**t's about to hit the fan in the US. It's too late for Noblaba or the other bozos in washington to pull us back from the cliff that's approaching. All we as americans can do now, is try and weather out this clusterf**k thanks to Noblaba, and his minions...
Oh well, at least we'll have "affordable" healthcare Jan 1st. Go figure...
A dis-satisfied customer and voter...
WE the People are required to fix it.
Poor foresight by all Americans regarding Washington legislation have created decades of inept policies. A simple, strategic, powerful fix to jump start the process:
28th constitutional amendment: Yearly Balanced Budget Required
Balanced definition:
Debt to GDP ratio
>35% = balanced
<35% = allow 10% extra yearly spending
This will not be easy to get congress to enact. The good news is we don't need Washington to move this: The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures.
It will take only one state to get the ball rolling!!!!!!! A STATE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION!!!!!!!
