New communications platform for wetland professionals
Wetland Professionals Platform launched at 7th INTECOL Wetlands Conference in Utrecht
At the closing session of the 7th INTECOL Conference in Utrecht, The Netherlands, on 30 July 2004, Dr. Gordana Beltram, the Chair of the Standing Committee of the Ramsar Convention, officially launched the "Wetland Professionals Platform".
The platform, a joint initiative between the RIZA institute*, Lelystad, and UNESCO-IHE (Institute for Water Education), Delft in the Netherlands, will provide space for wetland professionals worldwide to interact, exchange information, announce events and training opportunities, and much more.
Mr. Bart Fokkens, Director of the Wetland Development and Restoration Department of RIZA, briefly explained the objectives of the platform, which is an initiative of RIZA-WATC and UNESCO-IHE, and invited the conference participants to become members of the platform and take part in discussions. Gordana Beltram, on behalf of the Standing Committee of the Ramsar Convention, underlined the importance of information exchange and connectivity for wetland professionals and endorsed the activities of the platform.
All wetland professionals are invited to become members of the platform. As a member, you can find news and information on wetland management and restoration, and, what is more, you can meet colleagues in wetland management, restoration, policy and science. In the Wetland Professionals Database, people involved in wetlands present themselves and their work area. If you like, you can become a member of the Wetland Professionals Platform and make yourself traceable through the database. You can search for interesting persons with experience, skills or information that is relevant for you. You can update your own profile.
You can also take part in discussions on wetland topics or start a discussion yourself. As a member of the Platform you can log in and leave your note on the notice board or respond to other notes, find interesting and inspiring cases, tools, and formats, etc., and take part in (future) online events and projects.

I saw Mary Bosker on a monthly basis for a period of 2 years. She is the most amazing psychologist, and has so much to do with my personal growth and development. Her methods are so helpful and I always felt comfortable talking to her about many aspects in my life. I learned to apply her techniques and continue to improve my perception and mentality. Thanks Mary, I miss you and my sons and I will forever be grateful for your positive input into our lives. -Jessica

Change Advocate for Participatory Medicine / Let Patients Help, Society for Participatory Medicine
This conversation is closed.
"WHY is the patient the most under-used resource in healthcare?? How did that happen?" (Follow-up to LIVE TED Conversation July 27)
"e-Patient Dave" deBronkart is an advocate for patients being "E": empowered, engaged in their care, equipped, enabled, educated, etc. As described in his talk from TEDx Maastricht, he beat a near-fatal cancer, supplementing his great medical care by using the internet in every way possible.
Today, as blog manager and volunteer co-chair of the Society for Participatory Medicine, he has studied the social, technical and sometimes political factors that make healthcare ignore the potential of patients contributing to their care.
In his TEDTalk, he quotes senior physicians who have said for decades that patients are the most under-utilized resource in healthcare.
Why is that? How did it get to be that way? Is change valid? Why now, and not 20 years ago? And what can we do about it?
Watch the talk, and come back to discuss. *Your family* will be affected someday.
ADMIN EDIT: e-Patient Dave has requested that we keep this conversation open for 1 week. After 2pm ET July 27, he will periodically check in to answer questions and respond to comments.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Aug 1 2011: So, let me guess .... you're in favor of this "Let Patients Help" thing, yes? :-)
IMPORTANT: people should note that Vera's words don't mention the internet. BEING AN ENGAGED, EMPOWERED PATIENT IS A SEPARATE ISSUE from whether you're online. Lots of online people are disempowered wimps, who don't engage in their care.
Let Patients Help sometimes involves the internet but the internet isn't the point. The point is being engaged in your care.
Good for you.
Aug 1 2011: Totally in favor of it, Dave. Back then, my insistence on engaging in the treatment of my own terminal diagnosis was considered radical by traditional oncologists and surgeons.In the first few weeks of me interviewing my future team, several turned me down, flatly insisting it was not my place as a patient to have any choice in my treatment, period.
When my team was finally assembled, we had 5 weeks to save my life. As the journey and treatment progressed, I had to accompany every visit, surgery, etc. with a legal document from my attorney just to obtain MY MEDICAL RECORDS; about me and paid for by me. And thank heavens I did.
On several occasions my records were either incomplete or inaccurate. I would have them corrected immediately.
I ended up carrying around two 6 inch leather notebooks, full of records, test results, and data to each of my 12-15 appointments every week. I believe my insistence on my patient involvement was integral to having all the physicians and practitioners make better and more informed decisions about my treatment.
And essentially, the creation of my own "survival roundtable" is why I am still here to tell the story.
It would be great to have a personal medical QR code (perhaps an implant chip?) that could be easily updated. Love your rap and your Google+ personalized body data idea! Go Dave!

West Valley City fire investigators believe a left-over ember, not arson, was the reason crews had to rush to douse a blaze in a vacant home for the second time in as many days.
West Valley City Fire Marshal Bob Fitzgerald said the home at 6000 W. 4100 South had been the location of a fire on Monday, thought to have spread from a fireplace. The house is vacant while renovation work is being done.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
However, crews were back at the same residence on Tuesday morning, this time after 911 calls reporting flames coming out of the home's roof were reported about 4:45 a.m.
"It's not arson," Fitzgerald said. "We're thinking something, an ember, left behind just flared up again."
Fitzgerald said the initial fire was accidental, and the secondary fire started either from something smoldering in the insulation or from an electrical problem after power was restored.
Damage was estimated at between $80,000 and $100,000.

Hi: 19° Lo:10°
By Liam Moakes Thursday 20 December 2012 Updated: 03/01 12:31
STUDLEY have given their Midland Alliance campaign a huge shot in the arm thanks to successive victories which have lifted them into 16th place, five points above the bottom three.
The Bees, fresh from Saturday's 3-2 victory at Rocester, then powered to a 5-2 win over Tipton Town at the Beehive on a difficult playing surface on Tuesday.
Studley's direct style of play paid dividends as they maintained their excellent recent league record over the Black Country side by powering home five goals before the break.
Lei Brown scored a superb hat-trick and further goals from Danny Charlton and Matty Collins delighted the home faithful.
Goals from Karl Edwards and Rueben Wilson gave the visitors some consolation, but by now the damage had been done by Lee Knight's rampant side.
Studley, who will seek to make it a hat-trick of victories when they host Bridgnorth Town tomorrow before travelling to local rivals Alvechurch on Boxing Day (3pm), were also victorious in Staffordshire on Saturday.
A brace of goals from Collins and another from Charlton earned maximum points for the visitors, who were able to give debuts to new striking recruit Jason Ramsey and Steve Deeley, who has joined from Shirley Town.

Hi Claire,

B xxx
Thanks guys .. off to docs in a mo , still feeling sick and everything so I take that to be a good sign.
B xx
Hope everything is ok B, I'm sure if it's just a little bit of discharge it will be just fine xxxxx
let us know how you get on xxxx
How's everyone else doing? I've hit the 9 wk mark - feel really far behind you all! Still feeling rotten, still sick of feeling rotten! Has anyone actually found anything that helps with the nausea? I'm thinking of trying homeopathy......
Hi all, 10 weeks pregnant with baby number 2. Already have a lovely little boy who turns 2 in September.
Been feeling quite rough, sick lots and gone of all food. Sorry to say i can't find anything that stops me feeling/being sick. Only had nausea first time around, but i've thrown up on average twice a day for the last 5 weeks. This is really getting to me now, just praying it stops at 12 wks cuz i've lost nearly a stone i guess. The smell of washing up liquid did it this morning-yuk.
Hi Lolly - congrats and welcome!
I'm hating the sickness too. just had nausea last time but, like you, thrown up every day for last 5 weeks! Not losing weight tho - am managing to keep some stuff down but vary from day to day - either constantly have to eat or cant keep anything down! Fingers crossed it subsides soon x
Went to docs .. said to keep an eye on things but hopefully was just a one off - all seems ok today.
Toying with the idea of having a private scan in a few weeks as I had my scan at 9 weeks and there wasn't much to see really!
I went away last week - no nausea or anything I ate everything in the hotel - even gherkins!
Now I'm back am feeling sick again and off loads of foods .. strange!!
Fingers crossed I start to feel better when I'm back to work in a few weeks - I'm a dance teacher and can't imagine leaving my class to go and throw up haha.
Glad to hear everything is ok B and that you've had your scan, claire.
Still no date through for mine but i've got a couple of weeks yet...
How's everyone doing? I seem to be getting a bit better, thank god! Still feel nauseous and tired but not been sick for two days and seem to have got my appetite back - ate an apple yesterday and it was like the most wonderful tasting thing in the world after all the plain food - cant wait to feel up for my first pregnancy curry!
have a good day everyone xxxxxx
hi everyone, glad to hear everything was ok b and that ur scan was good and you have a pregnancy buddy claire.
I am still feeling really sicky, but the worst time seems to be at tea time so i now have my tea at about half 4 and that seems to settle it a bit.
Woke up this morning with thrush, i dont qualify for a "emergency" drs apptmnt, so the duty dr is supposed to be phoning me, i hope i can get something as its so uncomfortable!!!! I had this last time i was pregnant aswell but it was before i realised i was pregnant and just took the over the counter stuff.
Im still waiting for my scan apptmnt, could take weeks tho. This is the slowest time in a pregnancy waiting for the first look at our little jelly beans lol
Glad all is ok for you DancingB
Off on my hols tmrw...hoping to come back to my scan date - finally!
See you lovely ladies in a few weeks!
hi girls sorry your feeling so sick lolly, and enjoy your hols islaasil!!
my sickness seems to be easing off now get it a bit late afternoon and thats it.midwife cancelled me on tuesday too busy! she's coming on weds pm next week now (if she's not too busy!)hopefully ill have a date to see my consultant then too (about my thyroid) 2 weeks and 1 day till scan cant wait, its only then i feel i can relax once ive seen a heartbeat and a little beany.
off to do housework now while georgia is sleeping as mother and father in law coming today and wouldnt want to give her the satisfaction of saying the house is a tip!!!
claire xxxx
hi everyone
Lolly - sorry to hear your having such a rough time, i kno wat its like from my first.
Im waiting for the dr to call me back, they gave me a treatment yesterday for the thrush and today i now have a pinkish brown discharge (sorry tmi), i kno its prob nothing to worry about but the last time i had thrush in pregnancy i lost the baby so i really just want to be reassured. But of course i cant see a dr i have to wait for them to call me back (at some point between 12 and 6!!!) and the mw are not answering there phones!! If the first trimester of pregnancy is the most high risk why is there not more support for women through that?????
Anyway rant over going to go sit by the phone and wait like a nervous wreck!!!
On the plus side my lil man has started walking on his own today!!! woohoo
congrats to your little man tracy, and i hope the docs dont keep you hanging about waiting for too long,i understand your worries and your right why dont women get more support during the first 3 months when pg is at most risk there really only bothered by us when we're near the end!
take care c xx

Male Breast Cancer
Table of Contents
Next to skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common type cancer that develops in women. Men also get breast cancer, although this is still extremely rare.
Cancer always starts in the cells, which make up the tissue that is found in the breast and throughout the body. Cells have a life of their own – they grow and mature and eventually die off, at which point they're replaced.
Sometimes, this orderly process goes wrong; new cells form when the body does not need them, and old or damaged cells do not die as they should. This build-up...

Tropical Storm Odile is being pulled apart by wind shear as it tracks northeast at 6 mph across the northern Gulf of California. At 11 am EDT Wednesday, Odile was still a minimal 40 mph tropical storm, and had advanced within 110 miles of the Arizona border. Only two other named storms since 1949 are recorded to have maintained tropical storm strength so close to Arizona.
August featured a record heat wave in the Baltics and Belarus, record cold in Northern Ireland, extreme rainfall events along the U.S. East Coast and in Michigan. Deadly flooding in Nepal and India killed at least 200 and Typhoon Halong hit Japan. A rare tropical storm struck the Big Island of Hawaii. Perth, Australia had its warmest August on record while Darwin measured its coldest August temperature on record.

People ask me these days why I keep blogging. Perhaps that's a hint. They imagine that I spend my days in repeated bickering that includes personal insults. That's not the case at all. My reasons include hearing from staffers in D.C. or a state capital that they look to my blogs for some considered analysis or synthesis on some current climate-change subject. The occasional note that someone in a pay grade far above mine, will be in some meeting, and needs to know how to respond to the whole silly warming pause, warming hiatus thing.
This two-day workshop will provide a forum to review and establish procedures for accessibility challenges during relief and evacuation efforts.
Seasonable weather will continue and finish off the climatological summer.

Apple Picking
Check Out Our Photo Gallery> View The Gallery
The trees are absolutely loaded this year!
The trees are fully loaded this year after a year off. That is nature's way of compensating! Thank goodness!
We have a wide variety of Ontario Apples in our market. Each week, they are picked fresh, and within hours are in our market. New varieties arrive as they are harvested. We specialize in apple products such as apple butter, apple chips , apple fudge, apple cider, the list is endless. We also offer many exciting adventures at the farm (Wine tasting, pumpkin picking, bakery, scarecrow making, corn maze, Farmer Bob's Adventure playground, and much more).
Our farm is dedicated to growing a wide variety of quality apples. From early August to late October, you will find apples to suit many different palates. Our earliest apples are tart, but each week as new varieties ripen they are sweeter. We follow an integrated pest management program which strives to reduce pesticide use as much as possible. We continually renovate our orchards, and remove non productive trees, and replace them with new varieties and younger more productive trees. Our newest varieties which will become available in 2012 are Ambrosia and Sunrise.

An Evansville murder suspect has declined an offer to plead guilty in the stabbing death of his pregnant wife.
According to Kyle Phernetton with the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor's Office, 40-year-old Anthony Goffinet was offered a 60-year sentence if he pleaded guilty to the murder. Officials say he turned that offer down on Thursday.
Investigators say he stabbed his pregnant wife, 26-year-old Kathleen Goffinet, outside of a restaurant off Green River Road in 2012.
Police say the couple's three-year-old child was present at the time.
An autopsy revealed Kathleen bled to death from a stab wound to the right upper chest.
The coroner says she was two to three months pregnant at the time of her death.
Kathleen also leaves behind a one-year-old child.
Goffinet's charges include murder, intimidation, and neglect of a dependent. According to officials, all three charges will have habitual offender enhancements.
Goffinet will face a jury trial in Vanderburgh Superior Court on November 18.
If the jury finds Goffinet guilty of murder, he faces 45-65 years. With the habitual offender enhancement, that sentence would double.

First Second
Broxo hated the slagcat known as Gloth. He wasn't sure why, but the pit of his belly felt funny whenever Gloth was around. It wasn't fear of Gloth's tearing teeth or his curved claws; Migo had massive teeth and claws and Broxo loved Migo more than anything. But there was just this particular feeling in his belly that he couldn't quite explain. It wasn't like sick, or scared, and it certainly wasn't hungry. Broxo knew that feeling, all right, and it was that feeling that had gotten him into this whole mess.

|A close second to Petra on the list of favorite places in Jordan, the ancient city of Jerash crowned on the northern heights of Jordan boasts as unbroken chain of human occupation dating back more than 6500 years.
The city's golden age came under Roman rule and the site is now generally acknowledged to be one of the best-preserved roman provincial towns in the world.
Hidden for centuries in sand before being discovered and restored over the past 70 years, Jerash, reveals a fine example of the grand, formal provincial Roman urbanism that is found throughout the Middle East, comprising paved and colonnaded streets, soaring hilltop temples, handsome theatres, spacious public squares and plazas, baths, fountains and city walls pierced by towers and gates.

All the latest Apple news, featuring developments on the iPhone, iPad, Macbooks, OS X and much more.
CNET editors round up their favorite tablets, including products from Apple, Samsung, and Google.
Functionally, the iPad Air is nearly identical to last year's model, offering only faster performance and better video chatting. But factor in design and aesthetics, and the iPad Air is on another planet. It's the best full-size consumer tablet on the market.
The new iPad Mini somehow shrinks down the iPad Air into an even more compact package, sacrificing nearly nothing. It's more expensive than before, but it's also the perfect smaller tablet.
You can't beat the price of Anker's thin keyboard for the iPad Air, but serious typists should invest in a better option.
With a host of improvements--faster graphics, 4G wireless options, a better camera, and a gorgeous high-res screen--the latest iPad cements its position at the head of the tablet pack.
Not only is the Asustor AS-604T an excellent NAS server for serious network storage needs, it's also very easy to use thanks to the extremely well-designed user interface.
If you want the full, polished Apple tablet experience in a smaller package, the iPad Mini is worth the premium price. Otherwise, good alternatives are available for less money.
The iPad 2 refines an already excellent product. Its easy-to-use interface, vast app catalog, and marathon battery life bolster Apple's claim to being the king of tablets.
Apple's keyboard dock for the iPad offers a functional and elegant solution for anyone who finds the touch-screen keyboard too limiting, but it does not transform the iPad into a proper computer.
Apple Maps now has functional turn-by-turn navigation and gorgeous 3D Flyover features, but lack of public transit directions, shoddy details on maps, and distorted 3D views in some areas make this app mostly unusable until there's an update.
Pricing not available
The slimmer body and higher-res screen of the original Retina MacBook Pro were a revolutionary leap. This revamp adds modest internal upgrades for modest improvements, but price cuts to both the 13-inch and 15-inch models sweeten the deal.

Excellent Location!
Our family of 5 stayed for 3 nights. The unit is well-equipped/maintained and was comfortable for all of us. The parking for one car in the rear of the complex is a plus and the Eastern Market Metro stop is a convenient walk. We felt safe in the neighborhood and there are many restaurants to choose from that are within walking distance, across from the Marine Barracks. A huge change in the area from 20 - 25 years ago- all for the better! If your travel during the summer, be sure to attend the Friday Night Parade at the Marine Barracks. Deborah quickly responded to any questions. It was a pleasure to stay there and we would not have second thoughts about returning.

Friday mornings at Bread for the City, our hard working Story Collection Team takes a break from the hustle of field journalism to open our Southeast center for a skillshare. Skillshares are informal events for exchanging skills which might be useful to our clients.

We'd like you to join us on Friday, December 9th for our next skillshare, Interview Your Family.
We'll be joined by guest facilitator, friend, and blogger Danny Harris. Danny interviews DC residents from all walks of life and publishes the stories he collects on his blog, People's District. Thanks Danny!

[Cross-posted from Bread for the City's story bank. Tell your story of food and family now!]
I loved my grandfather, James Madison. He ran a tobacco and dairy farm. I spent most of my summers on his farm. We would wake up around 5:00 in the morning, and I would help him bring the cows up from the lower grazing pastures to the milking bays. We would feed the hogs and check the chicken coops for eggs to eat at breakfast. While Granddaddy milked the cow, we would eat breakfast with the milk and eggs. The milk was so fresh my grandmother had to blow the creamy butter away from the rim of the pitcher so that the butter in the milk would not go into our cereal bowls. No pasteurization or preservatives, and, no surprise, we never got sick or had an allergic reaction to all that freshness.
I was sixteen years old before I had a birthday in my home town of Pittsburgh, PA. When I got off the big Greyhound bus each summer in Appomattox, VA, my grandfather would say, "Here comes my city grandson, down to the country to see how real men earn a living." He would tease me, "Farming is hard work, and city boys do not know anything about working hard." Then he would laugh with his big, boisterous laugh.
My grandfather was also a very religious, God-fearing man. When the sun started to get a bit hot and I started to fade, he would quote scripture (Genesis 2:15):
My Garden of Eden is now located at 1525 7th Street, NW, Washington, DC. While working in Bread for the City's Rooftop Garden this spring and summer, I swear I could feel my grandfather's presence at times. One day this nice, warm, melancholy feeling came over me, and it was so strong that I started tearing up. I had to get control of my emotions before someone thought that I was crazy. I could hear my grandfather's voice telling me "farming is hard work, but I prepared you for this very day." That hot summer day set me up for a healthy make over.
From that moment on, my whole being changed! I made an appointment with BFC's nutritionist, Sharon, so that I could take advantage of these fresh vegetables that I was harvesting from the Rooftop Garden. Sharon set me up with a good nutritious diet along with correct portion sizes. I lost twenty five pounds, my blood pressure got back to normal levels, and the exercise from riding my bike down to BFC and working in the garden made me feel one hundred percent better. Needless to say, Doctor Randi in the health care clinic was proud of me.
BFC's Rooftop Garden was not only good for my health, but also my soul! BFC helped me take better care of myself, so I can be a blessing to others in my community. It reconnected me with the teachings of my childhood, that we need to fight for each other and fight for the earth, to be able to take care of each other and stay on our land. I'm glad for my Garden of Eden — a place where more people have the support to be whole people, together in community.
Want to share your own story? Go to Bread for the City's story bank to share your traditions, memories, hopes and wonders.
This post, and the recipe shared earlier today, are part of a project to collect stories of food, health, culture, and community as part of Bread for the City's Holiday Helpings Campaign. Stay tuned for the unveiling of our new story bank!
At this time of year, feasting is in order. Many Thanksgiving dishes handed down from year to year are delicious, but not necessarily healthy. Most of us remember eating sweet potatoes swimming in cinnamon, butter, marshmallows and sugar. Delicious, right? It may nourish your spirit, but it's not good for your body.
Good thing you don't have to sacrifice taste and tradition to create a healthy meal! Sharon Feuer Gruber, BFC's nutrition consultant, held a cooking class at the Southeast center last week to get people focused on healthier ways to cook some typical holiday foods. On the menu this month: cabbage salad, sweet potato wedges, and apple compote.
We started by working together to prep the food.
As the sweet potatoes were cooking and people were cutting up the fresh herbs for the salad, Sharon shared the health benefits of the foods they were using. We talked about how the skin of the sweet potatoes has lots of fiber and nutrients and should be scrubbed and eaten along with the rest of the sweet potato. Why spend money on the whole sweet potato and then toss the healthiest part? And we talked about the nutritious fats the meal featured, including those in the walnuts we sprinkled on top of the apples.
The salad was simple — combine red cabbage, carrots, scallions, cilantro, orange segments, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of maple syrup in a big bowl. (Full recipes are below.) We served up the salad, piping hot sweet potato wedges, and delicious apple compote, and sat down to eat and talk.
We learned that several people had seen recipes like the ones Sharon demonstrated, but hadn't tried them at home because the combination of foods wasn't something that they normally ate. One client said the dishes were "surprisingly good." And everyone ate them up. Several of the attendees were there because their doctors wanted them to change their diets. They wanted to prepare healthier meals for their families, and the cooking class seemed like a good place to start.
The class finished up by brainstorming ways to modify Stuffed Meatloaf, a recipe that was shared with the Holiday Helpings Story Bank earlier in the week. You can use the same tips with your favorite holiday dish!
Here are the original ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 pack of bacon
1 cup of sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
½ lb. steamed shrimp
1 container crab meat
1 bottle barbecue sauce
1 pack of crackers
1 egg
1 nine inch baking pan
And here are the suggestions from the participants in the nutrition/cooking class:
- Use ground turkey or ground chicken instead of ground beef.
- Add fresh vegetables like green peppers, garlic, onions, and tomatoes.
- Add kidney beans.
- Use hot sauce, tomato paste, or tomato sauce instead of barbecue sauce.
- Use rice, corn flakes, or bread crumbs instead of crackers.
- Use egg whites instead of whole eggs.
Enjoy your holiday! Have fun and think healthy.

There was a huge sigh of relief on Wednesday among Vancouver Canucks fans as the team ended their three game losing streak and prevented themselves from becoming the first President's trophy winning team to be swept in the first round.
Game four was a huge improvement for the Canucks despite an ugly first period. They killed penalties and got some powerplay goals while being backed up by a slightly more consistent and dependable defense as well as goalie Cory Schneider.
Before game three, a 1-0 loss for the Canucks, head coach Alain Vigneault stressed the fact that he needs players to contribute and perform well in games.
"Right now, we need a couple of difference-makers," he told The Province. "I like our effort the last two games, but we need guys to step up."
Game four featured difference-maker Daniel Sedin who, in his comeback from a concussion, made incredible passes and helped twin brother Henrik light up the scoreboard, as well as bringing the Canucks' powerplay back to life.
"He's an elite athlete, a world-class player and when the game is on the line those guys always seem to be able to raise their game to another level," assistant coach Rick Bowness told canucks.com of the Sedins, who put their magical, telepathic-like play to work upon Daniel's return. "When they are in your lineup and playing like they played, if you're down a goal, down two goals, you know you are still in the game because you know they are capable of stepping up and making big plays and scoring huge goals that get us momentum. That impact is there every night they play, just because of their special abilities."
With the Sedins up front, the Canucks had a few difference-makers in the defensive end as well. Alex Edler and Kevin Bieksa, neither of whom have had a good series, both scored in game four. Dan Hamhuis however, was one of the best defenders for the Canucks. He had two assists – his first points of the series – a team-high six shots, and a team-high ice time of 25:24. He was also tied with Bieksa for team-high blocked shots with three.
Then of course there was Cory Schneider, who will more than likely play the rest of series – and if the Canucks go further, he could remain the number one goaltender.
Interestingly, the numbers of hits by the Canucks in game four decreased significantly compared to the other games. Edler led the team with four hits, and LA outhit the Canucks 50-26. Even though the number of hits has dropped, the Canucks found a way to win. Maybe physicality is not that important when trying to beat the Kings. But whatever the Canucks did, whether it was less hitting or not, it worked, and they need to keep doing it in game five.
Game five will basically be a repeat of game four, a do-or-die game. As Vigneault said before game three, the Canucks need difference-makers. Yes, they have the Sedins, Hamhuis and Schneider, but there are many other players who have not yet reached the expectations set by themselves, the team and the fans.
At practice Friday, Vigneault had Alex Burrows, Ryan Kesler and Max Lapierre, three players who have not yet risen to expectations, practicing on a line together. Each of them has had their positive moments this series, but they are still lacking in something and not producing as much as expected.
Burrows, since scoring the opening goal of the series for the Canucks, has not appeared on the score sheet. He has managed to have an even plus/minus rating, except for a minus-1 rating in game four. This is coming from a player with a plus-24, 52 point regular season.
However, Burrows has done this before. Last season in round one, he registered one assist in game two and then went scoreless before exploding in game six, posting one goal and two assists and then scoring both goals in game seven.
Possible line-mate Kesler has had a strange series. He does have three assists, but like the regular season, has had various ups and downs and has not been consistent. However, he has picked up the pace compared to the regular season.
Burrows and Kesler have always been known for their chemistry, having played on a line together before. Kesler assisted on Burrows' lone goal of the series and putting these two together along with Lapierre will hopefully bring some much needed energy and goals.
Lapierre, a hard worker who is often more obvious in the post-season, had 19 points in 82 games during the regular season. Ever since the 2008-09 season in which he played with the Montreal Canadiens, he has been unable to surpass his NHL career high 28 points, but has had success nonetheless. He even had a stint on the first line for a while at the end of the regular season, which worked very well.
"I think that line (of Burrows, Kesler and Lapierre) should bring a lot of energy and you've got guys there that have got a decent skill set and a lot of speed," Vigneault told canucks.com. "Hopefully if we do decide to go that route, those are three guys that really want to win bad and they're willing to do whatever it takes and if we do decide to take that route, we're expecting real good things from them."
You can expect good things from David Booth as well, who remained on the first line with the Sedins at practice Friday. Coming to Vancouver from hot, sunny Florida, it seems that he has finally settled into playing in the hockey-crazy country of Canada. Though sometimes quiet, his role with the Sedins in game four impressed Vigneault.
His fellow American Chris Higgins however, has not had much to be positive about. Known for being very reliable and consistent in the regular season, Higgins did not register a shot in either game three or game four. He has been unnoticeable on the ice and needs to improve as he continues to play on the checking line with Jannik Hansen and Samuel Pahlsson.
Like Higgins, Mason Raymond has not had a good series, but instead of not being noticed, his mistakes have drawn attention and criticism.
"I know the young man is trying hard, but obviously the way he's playing right now he doesn't deserve to be playing on one of the top three lines," Vigneault told canucks.com after game four in which Raymond was one of the reasons why the Kings scored their lone goal. "We expect more from him, I'm sure he expects more from himself and for now he's going to play on a different line and when he goes on the ice, we expect him to give 100 per cent and be ready."
Burrows, Kesler, Lapierre, Booth, Higgins and Raymond – each of these players have the ability to be a difference-maker, something the Canucks need if they want to avoid taking out their golf clubs.
Who knows what it is that the Sedins, Schneider and Hamhuis, the difference-makers in game four, ate on Wednesday before they played, but they should eat it again on Sunday before their second elimination game. In fact, it would probably be a good idea for them to share their meals with the rest of the team too.

DENISON, TX - Millions of people use Craigslist and PayPal every day, but is it safe? A denison woman says she almost learned the hard way, it's not as secure as you might think.
It's been a struggle for Bertha Coffin since her husband, a Vietnam War Veteran, was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and early signs of dementia.
"He is not able to be around people."
She and her husband are retired and rely on social security, but with his increasing medical bills, it's just not enough.
Her husband's condition keeps him inside the house most of the time, so they decided to use Craigslist to sell their camper.
"So we thought well we'll just go ahead and sell it and bring in some extra money."
A reply came quickly from a man asking for more pictures and how low they would go on the price.
The man asked if she would take it off Craigslist because he wanted it, but she said not until she got the money.
"Within a few minutes he sent me another message saying he was interested in it as a gift for his son," said Coffin.
The man said because of work he couldn't come see it, but he was willing to pay the asking price and have someone pick it up.
Then Bertha says he convinced her to set up a PayPal account.
Next he asked her to send the account information to him, so he could deposit the money.
Soon after she got an email from "PayPal" asking her for money.
"You need to send $900 dollars for the fee, then $100 dollars that you have to pay Western Union, which added to a thousand dollars and as soon as they received it, the money would be deposited into my account."
Bertha says she was ready to send the money until her daughter decided to call PayPal and ask about the fee.
"PayPal said this is a scam, don't do that, and it was very upsetting."
Bertha says PayPal told her daughter they never ask for money, and Craigslist told them they were looking into the incident.
We tried to contact PayPal and Craigslist, but neither one responded.

Are you looking for spy phone software to keep tabs on slacker employees who are dragging your business down? As an employer, you know how frustrating it is to give someone a company cell phone and then they use it to goof off and waste company time. Worse yet, for employees who work outside the office – in sales or maintenance – they use it to avoid you rather than stay in touch with the office. But by using a spy phone app, you can spy on cell phone activity and see whether your employees are where they should be or are goofing off – costing you money!
Whether you need iPhone spy phone software, Android spy phone software or Blackberry spy phone software, it's easy to find and simple to use. All you need to do is have access to the company cell phone you've given them for just a couple of minutes and you or your tech department can install a cell phone spy program.
Better yet, make it routine to install a spy app on all company phones. Then you can use it if you need to and leave it dormant if you don't. Spy apps can help you catch slacker employees ditching work, cutting out early or saying they are on a client site when they are actually sitting on their sofa. What's worse is that slacking is contagious – if other employers see the slacker getting away with not working – they'll wonder why they should make any effort either – and from there, productivity takes a nosedive.
You always want to think the best of people, but you never know if they're betraying your trust and wasting company resources or cheating you out of a little or a lot of the work week. Consider these cases of what companies using cell phone tracking software caught employees doing:
· One sales manager used the spy phone software to keep tabs on his sales team and used the GPS tracking function and found three of his sales people at a midday baseball game when they were supposed to be at a selling seminar the company had paid hundreds for them to attend.
· One small business owner installed cell phone spy software on the company phones of his crew of technicians. He found that they were padding time spent at clients so they could meet up at a local strip bar for lunch. They had been tricking him into overbilling clients which could have cost his business reputation in a bad way!
· One mid-sized corporation that used a spy phone program found two employees engaged in an affair on premises that had been uploading photos to their phones of themselves having sex in offices, the break room and copy room.
Once you've installed spy phone software, free up your mind to concentrate on business, knowing you can track errant and slacker employees if you need to. There are many affordable spy phone apps on the market and simple to install them to save your business from losing time, money or reputation from employees misusing company time and materials. Before the slackers on your staff damage your business, catch them in the act with spy phone software!
If your looking for the Best Spy Phone Software, there are allot of options to choose from online. You must first look at the type of phone you want to monitor because there is Android spy phone software, iPhone spy software and even Blackberry spy phone software to choose from.

A week in Las Vegas
In Health Information Technology, there is no other event as big and exciting as the HIMSS Annual Conference and Exhibition, and Las Vegas being the venue this year, made the whole week a lot more fun. Around 37,000 attendees from all over the world represented vendors, providers, innovators, industry experts, policy makers and every possible category of stakeholders in the health care industry. More than 300 educational sessions covered numerous topics including Privacy and Security, Lessons Learned from large scale EHR implementation, Meaningful Use, EHR Certification, Mobile Apps, Interoperability and Standardization.
The venue for the conference was the Venetian Sands Expo Center, about 15 minutes walk from our hotel. Initially we were trying to figure out which direction to walk and then realized that just following the crowd would be much easier as almost everyone on the street with badge and bag was going towards the same direction.
Keynote sessions in HIMSS are always amazing. In the opening keynote this year, Biz Stone, the co-founder of Twitter shared his success and failure stories and his principles. The most inspiring one to take home was -
"We can change the world, build a business and have fun. "
The rest of the day was filled with numerous educational sessions. Shortly after lunch, the exhibition halls were open for attendees. Attending those presentations from the big names in the industry, getting updates on upcoming trends in technology, disruptive and innovative approaches from the new entrants is always a treat.
Day two was all sessions and exhibit hall hours. One of the morning session I attended was on ICD-10 conversion. This informative session covered some of the tools and resources CMS and HIMSS have developed. Another thought provoking session was on Watson, a software and hardware platform by IBM, equipped with massive memory and computing power, built for natural language processing (NLP). The session covered how Watson is being used in Healthcare Technology where NLP has tremendous applicability.
Day three keynote was presented by Farzad Mostashari, National Coordinator for Health Information Technolgy. He emphasized on "… making meaningful use of meaningful use" as pivotal for providers to meet the upcoming challanges. He shared a very inspiring vision when he said, "By next year, I predict that the majority of care delivered in this country will be done on EHRs, not paper,"
The last day didn't have exhibit hours but it did have two keynote sessions. The first one was addressed by Democratic political strategist Donna Brazile and former White House press secretary Dana Perino. It was supposed to be a political debate but eventually turned out to be more of an informative one with some nice hints of humor.
The last and the best one was by Dan Buettner, the founder of Blue Zones. He talked about three different Blue Zones, regions on earth with the longest life expectancy and shared the simple but meaningful life style there. In Okinawa, Japan, one of the Blue Zones, he asked a 104 year old lady about what it was like holding her great-great-great grand child and her response was, "It's like leaping into the heaven".
The conference was over by 5 pm everyday and for the rest of the evening, we made sure to visit all the big hotels and casinos on the strip. It was absolute fun watching the night life in Vegas, the magnificent sculptures, architectures and of course, the food.
We also had a day off on Monday as the conference was gonna start from Tuesday and we made a plan in hurry and made it to the GRAND CANYON!
I don't have words to describe what a magnificent piece of nature it is. So, I won't even try.
For now, I am done here in Vegas and preparing for tomorrow in Bismarck, North Dakota!
What an amazing conference!
The four day long HIMSS10 conference ended yesterday. Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger gave the closing keynote address. He pointed out how aviation culture fosters safety and lessons health sector can take from that. Evidence based checklists for emergency situation has been there for so long in aviation sector but in practice of medicine its often absent which increase the risk. Captain Sully also emphasized that its not just checklist but the teamwork, process and attitude combined with years of disciplined practice come into play in an emergency situation. As he said – nothing can be more costly than not having the culture of safety, I can completely relate to that when I think of our rigorous process of software development and testing to ensure the safety and security of data we deal with through our applications.
Earlier Thursday morning, there was another informative keynote session where Sanjay Gupta interviewed Harry Markopolis about Medicare Fraud. He discussed how using Electronic Health Record (EHR) can reduce the risk and help identifying fraud.
Apart from the keynote sessions there were numerous educational sessions on EHR, PHR, Interoperability, Meaningful Use, Privacy and Security, Health Information Exchange, NHIN etc. by industry leaders, thinkers and policy makers. As a whole, it was a very satisfying experience as we found how our strategic goals well aligned with industry trends and demands.
Post conference thoughts
We are back in New York after the completion of an amazingly exciting conference. During the last three days, as we ran more than a hundred sessions, numerous suggestions, feedback, comments, ideas came up which will significantly help us in terms of developing next batch of modules and enhancements. Thanks to all our attendees who participated with us in making it a success. We discussed in detail regarding some really major ideas like standard based interfacing with external systems / interoperability, Health Information Exchange, cross organization information sharing, simplification of access control etc. We are not surprised that our users in most cases equally identified how important each of these areas are. This sharing of knowledge between both the parties in such a mass level makes the PA conference a very significant one to look forward to every year.
While we will be heading back to Dhaka during this weekend, Tahseen and Naim will stay back for another week to visit some providers. We all are going to take back ideas and knowledge to keep us real busy for a while as we will be fleshing out the requirements further and it only gets more exciting as we explore each scenario.
Day 1 @ eHealth Initiative's Annual Conference
We came here in Washington, DC last afternoon to attend the eHI annual conference. The conference started today with welcoming remarks by Rachel Block, Deputy Commissioner for Health IT, New York State Department of Health and Jennifer Covich Bordenick , CEO, eHI. The opening keynote address was presented by Aneesh Chopra, CTO of the United States. He briefly covered several interesting topics including "meaningful use" and the power of information technology in health sector. About health information technology I found his comments very exciting as he envisions 2010 as the year of implementation and result when we will be seeing more products and services as well as protocols and standards getting developed as the nation moves forward achieving the meaningful use. He pointed out that by liberating data and utilizing it, great things can be achieved. This quite matches with what we do in Therap by making data more accessible and thus help providing better care.
After the keynote speech, it was time for the Presentation of 2010 eHealth Initiative Awards. Boston Medical Center (BMC) received the Business Process Improvement Award. BMC's turnaround time for scheduling appointments has dropped from 33 days to six after implementing an eReferral system. Michael Matthews, CEO, MedVirginia was awarded as the eHealth Advocate of the Year – Private Sector. MedVirginia was the first HIE to utilize CONNECT gateway in its initiative with the Social Security Administration. Tomorrow's schedule includes day long discussions by policymakers, industry leaders, clinicians and patients covering eHealth issues that affect the entire American health care system. Looking forward for learning a lot.
A deep dive into HL7
We attended several tutorial sessions and work group meetings today. My first session was on Vocabulary. The three and a half hour long session was very compact in terms of all the topics it covered. It started with an overview of terminologies, value sets, concepts and commonly used vocabularies in health care. Vocabulary is said to be the single most important component for interoperability as without standardization of terminologies, comparing health data, aggregating, interchanging data between health systems, secondary usage for research purpose and linking with decision support resources are not possible. For a computer program it is really difficult to aggregate and compare among myocardial infarction, cardiac infarction, heart attack, infarction of heart and myocardial infarct. But when all of these refer to one single Concept ID (e.g. 22298006), it gets pretty straight forward. The later half of the session covered detailed discussion on SNOMED CT, LOINC, UCUM and some other terminologies. Thanks to Ted Klein for conducting such an informative session.
The second session was on HL7 version 2. The main focus of this session was order and observation. It covered the syntax and semantics of different types of order message like general order, clinical order, laboratory order, imaging order, dietary order, pharmacy/treatment order etc. The sessions was particularly interesting because of having participants from all over the world sharing their interests and challenges for achieving interoperability in health care. I am sure it will get even more fun tomorrow.
Day 2 @ Phoenix
This is our second day at Phoenix. The HL7 Work Group Meeting starts today. We had half a day before the registration and given the bright and sunny morning, we decided to take a short trip some where near by. Masum bhai and Asif, after doing a bit of research, suggested the Desert Botanical Garden. It took us around twenty minutes to get there. We had absolutely no idea that cactus can be so amazingly beautiful. We took a lot of pictures. We also found a humming bird jumping around from one plant to another. If we had time, we probably would have spent the whole day at the garden.
We came back to complete the registration. Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak Resort is the venue for this WGM. The resort is pretty cool with all sorts of services and amenities. We took a quick break for lunch at the Hole-In-The-Wall River Ranch restaurant. Then it was time for the introductory sessions on HL7 WGM. There were two sessions scheduled for this after noon. The first one was an informative session for all first time attendees and it covered an over view of HL7 as a standard developing organization and some helpful instructions for next couple of days. The second session was on organization and process orientation. This one discussed work group structure and content domains including formal work group process and protocol for actively participating in the work of the work groups. From tomorrow, we will be attending more specific sessions covering different areas like EHR, PHR, HL7 V3, V2, CCD, CDA and so on. We are very excited to get more in depth understanding of health informatics out of this sessions.
On our way to Phoenix
We reached Los Angeles last afternoon. It was quite a long flight but the transit @Dubai helped. We had few hours to kill before hitting the bed. So, we decided to take a short trip to Santa Monica. We spent few hours walking around the malls at Third Street Promenade, went to the Apple Store, took some pictures and headed back to the hotel. We were tired enough to enjoy a sound sleep, essentially a good way to kill the jet lag.
Our plan for today was basically visiting the Manhattan Beach before heading for the airport. So, we started early as planned. On our way to the beach, our taxi driver suggested visiting the Rodendo beach instead and we thought following him would be the way to go. The beach and the weather both were perfect choice for our short trip. For lunch we had fresh crab and shrimp. We all loved the food. Now its time to head for Phoenix for a busy one week long work group meeting where we will be attending some very good sessions on HL7 and related technologies, processes and best practices.
Looking forward for another exciting trip.
Taking a quick trip to the Parthenon
First day at Therap, CDS Training Conference II went pretty well. Lots of new ideas and suggestions came up. We also had our Wii and XBox gaming sessions at the end of the day. We still had a few hours left before me and Tanm would go back to room. Earlier that day we were wondering if we can make a quick trip to downtown for sight seeing and stuff. And we got Jim from CDS who took us for the quick trip we were looking for. Pretty soon we realized that we should have started earlier just because Nashville downtown is just too cool and few hours just didn't seem enough. But Jim actually covered a fair enough part of it. The coolest sight was Parthenon a replica of Parthenon in Athens. We couldn't just resist taking pictures.
Therap, CDS Training Conference II – Day 1, Conference Introduction
Another exciting conference begins today. For the next three days we are going to have lots of sessions and discussions. Right now we are having the Conference Introduction session. Getting to know all our attendees and learning about the challenges and opportunities.
Brain storming and Bowling (without Wii)
We arrived at Connecticut yesterday. This particular part of the trip is for discussions and planning on what we want to achieve in our up coming releases. So, this is the time when we work on prioritizing our ever increasing 'To-Do' list. This is real fun when we have the whole team including Warren, Justin, Jim designing all those complicated modules in flip charts. It starts with just few lines and boxes in twelve different colors but as time goes by, it gets really exciting and you can almost visualize the idea working in the real system. I missed some of it as I had to run and join a webinar on MAR. By the time we were done, it looked like quite a productive day. So, it was quite obvious that the next most important thing we need to do was going out for a good dinner. Jim took us to a pretty cool Italian restaurant and we were there until we were completely full.
We still had more fun stuff to do. It was time for trying out real bowling. I just had my first bowling experience in Wii last week while at the Kansas conference. I figured out that real bowling is indeed far more fun except for the fact that I scored way better in Wii. But I am going to work on that and expecting to break my Wii record.
Tomorrow we will have more exciting discussions before we head back to New York.
