Business Ideas in the News / March 1, 2011
I was shocked to learn from the Wall Street Journal that America's pets are as fat as their owners. Nearly 50% are overweight and 20% are obese. Dr. Randy Regutnick, founder and CEO of the Fat Pet Centers, considered the pioneer in this field, was happy to talk to me about his work.
"Dr. Regutnick, how did you get started?"
"In 1995, I was a struggling young vet in Silver Spring, Maryland, and this nice lady came into my office with her pussy cat in a Radio Flyer Wagon. She needed the wagon because her cat, Rhino, weighed 44 pounds and she couldn't lift it. Heck, the cat could hardly walk.
"I had always been a health nut, so I put the cat on a strict, healthy diet that I devised on the spot. Then, overnight, I built a customized chase wheel with a live mouse in a small cage — which the cat couldn't reach — and within four months the cat was down to 12 pounds. The Washington Post reported my success and, overnight, I was flooded with fat dogs and cats. My practice took off. I had to double my office space and hire three more vets.

Found August 03, 2012 on Pro Sports Daily:
PLAYERS: Cliff Lee
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies
Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Cliff Lee was placed on trade waivers, according to multiple reports, but don't expect to see him changing teams in a straight waiver claim. Since Lee is owed $87.5 million over the next three seasons, he's unlikely to get claimed. Lee, like a lot of major league players this month, was placed on waivers just so his team has the option to trade him if it's bowled over by an offer before the Aug. 31 deadline to set postseason. All players must be placed on waivers to be traded after July 31. Heading into his Sunday start against Arizona, Lee is 2-6 with a 3.73 ERA in 18 starts this year. In December 2010, Lee signed a five-year, $120 million free agent deal with the Phillies that includes a $27.5 million club option for 2016 (or a $12.5 million buyout).

10 Artists/Entertainers Besides Woody Allen Accused of Sex Crimes—And What Happened to Their Careers as a Result
Photo Credit: Aleš Studený/Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
To see Woody Allen films, or not to see them. That is the question some of the filmmaker's fans are grappling with these days.
Whether they believe he is a child molester, or merely—as seems to be indisputable—a creep, drawing a line between a popular artist's work, and their potentially sordid personal life has never been harder than it is in the age of TMI.
Allen is by no means the first artist or entertainer accused of being a despicable man. To put the whole question into a little context, here's a brief list of artists/entertainers with personal lives ranging from the dubious to the criminal, what they were suspected or charged of, and how it all affected their career.
One of history's greatest artists is believed by historians to have been sexually involved with the pre-pubescent boy who modeled for the painter's 1603 masterpiece "St. John the Baptiste," and a few other paintings.
Upshot: Allegations of pederasty have had no discernible impact on the artist's reputation.
Lewis Carroll
At the very least, Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a.k.a. Lewis Carroll, had an erotic fascination with little girls, including Alice Liddell, the inspiration for Alice in Wonderland, and Alice Through the Looking Glass. No one knows for sure whether he acted on this fascination, though to many it seems likely.
Upshot: Alice in Wonderland is still a beloved children's classic, though still dark and hallucinogenic enough for Tim Burton to have directed the 2010 adaptation.
Michael Jackson
Twice tried but never convicted, the "King of Pop" admitted to sharing his bed with children, but never to "harming" them. Still, in the court of public opinion, there does not seem to be much doubt that Jackson slept with underage boys, and many have come forward to accuse him. Jackson allegedly paid $35 million in hush money to at least two dozen young boys he sexually abused over 15 years.
Upshot: While it is hard to know to what extent these accusations or activities contributed to Jackson's ill health, increasing reclusiveness or early demise, they haven't made much of a dent in sales. His estate made $600 million in the four years after his 2009 death, more than any single artist living or dead has ever made in that timespan.
Fatty Arbuckle
When a starlet died of a ruptured bladder after a three-day bacchanalia with the silent film star, the enraged public turned on him. Arbuckle was accused of raping and killing the young woman and crushing her with his weight. William Randolph Hearst boasted that the Arbuckle case sold more papers than the sinking of the Maine.
Upshot: Arbuckle was tried three times, and eventually acquitted, even getting an apology from the jury. He was blacklisted from Hollywood, and eventually attempted a comeback of sorts as a director under a different name.
The Polish-French artist, who died in 2001, painted many erotic paintings of little girls (and lots of cats) but insisted that any perversity was in the eye of the beholder. He was merely portraying uncomfortable aspects of young girls' sexuality.
Upshot: An exhibition of his photographs was recently cancelled in Germany amidst allegations that the shots were pedophilic. But the Metropolitan Museum of Art recently mounted an exhibition of some of his paintings of girls and cats and a little known series of drawings he did when he was 11 ( these contained no girls, just cats.)
Bill Cosby
Multiple accusations of sexual assault came to light about the beloved comedian in 2006, when close to a dozen women told very consistent stories about being drugged and sexually assaulted by Cosby. Somehow, he quietly settled lawsuits and the whole business seemed to vanish from the public consciousness, until recently, largely because of the Allen affair.

WOMEN OF HISTORY | EMPRESS THEODORA (500 – June 28, 548) (Lena Heady)
The wife of Justinian I, Empress Theodora of the Byzantine Empire was stated at the time to be 'superior in intelligence to any man' and her husband seemed to recognise this, letting her rule jointly with him. She is considered by many to be the most influential and powerful woman in the Roman Empire's history.
Theodora was greatly interested in the rights of women and ever inclined to help women in misfortune. She expanded their rights in property ownership, divorce, and over their children, as well as instituting the death penalty for rape and outlawing the exposure of unwanted infants and killing of wives who committed adultery. She outlawed forced prostitution and sought to end the slave trade of women for brothels, creating convents where those women could go to support themselves and be safe once they'd been freed. These convents also welcomed women fleeing from violent husbands. Because of Theodora's work, the status of women in the Byzantium Empire stood far above that of the Middle East and the rest of Europe.
Together with her husband, Theodora rebuilt and reformed Constantinople - building or rebuilding aqueducts, bridges and more than twenty five churches including the Hagia Sophia - making it into the jewel of Europe.

Day 32: The Steinways, the one with the penguin farting on it. Okay so I think this penguin is actually flying but farting just seems like the more likely option. Penguins can't fucking fly. I have no idea when I got this shirt, I do not remember buying it at all. It is the Steinways shirt I have had the longest, so I am assuming I got it the first time I saw them at Insub Fest in 2008! At least that's when I think the first time I saw them was.
This shirt is a little short on me so I had to wear a tank top underneath. I haven't worn it in a while because of that fact, but the tank top underneath worked like a charm and it was pretty comfy. This might go back into regular rotation when layers are appropriate or I might do something awesome with it. Back patch? Quilt? My friend Chelsea altered her penguin shirt into an awesome hoodie. I think that's a great idea too. So many possibilities!

An online shopping experience went slightly awry for an Essex man after he ordered a pair of custom made slippers, and received one shoe the size of a small car.
Tom Boddingham, 27, has two different sized feet and has to have his shoes specially made, but he was shocked when the two-metre slipper turned up at his door, according to the Daily Mail.
The size 1450 monster paw slipper was created after the Chinese manufacturer failed to notice a decimal point in the size of Mr Boddingham's left foot when he placed the order online.
Thinking the oversized slipper had been requested for commercial use, it was created and shipped with the correct size 13 left foot
Big enough to sleep in, Mr Boddingham believes he might just have a claim on a new world record.
"It was sent directly from Hong Kong and measures 210 x 130 x 65cm — the same length as a grizzly bear or a family car," Mr Boddingham told the Mail. "I must be the owner of the biggest slipper in the world."
Boddingham now plans to cash in on the experience and will sell the massive paw on eBay.
"I'm going to sell it online, and if I can make a few quid out of it then all the better."
Monster Slippers, the online retailer where Boddingham purchased the slippers, confirmed the manufacturing error and apologised for the mix-up.

Unscheduled absenteeism rates have been rising across the world, and what's worse, employees who don't show up for work often aren't physically ill.
For instance, according to research from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), a third of workers in the UK openly admit to "skiving".
Workers aged between 18 and 34 are the most common culprits. Forty per cent of skivers will fake symptoms such as sniffing and losing their voice the day before taking a sick day. At the more extreme end of the spectrum, employees will use props such as bandages and crutches to convince their bosses they are indeed ill.
When HR professionals pore through their employees' sick leave records, one thing that will likely strike them is the disproportionate number of times staff are ill on Fridays and Mondays, or on days adjacent to long weekends.
"A conversation with an employee to ask why their leave pattern is so peculiar is often sufficient to put them on notice that the pattern is being watched – and the pattern breaks" says Loh Lean San, HR Director, Asia-Pacific, for wire and rope manufacturer Bridon Singapore.
Why workers take "sickies"
Although boredom, and depression at work (61%) are the most common reasons for taking time off work, some truant workers also cite good weather (11%), hangovers (18%) and romance (5%) as the real reasons behind their absences.
"Absenteeism costs British businesses around £32 billion (US$51 billion) a year, but our findings suggest a large chunk of this loss is preventable," says Neil Roden, HR consulting partner at PwC. "If people are bored and depressed with their jobs, employers need to think creatively how they can get people back in gear."
Like a lot of discipline issues, absenteeism is caused by poor leadership under which the recalcitrant staff think and know that they can get away with it, opines Loh. "Setting the rules clearly and enforcing it fairly is key," he says. 'Fairly' means addressing real underlying issues if it has to do with health."
The issue plagues workers in operational areas with mundane jobs more than others. "But really, it is where leadership is poor (and) can be in any function," Loh adds.
The buck lies with line managers
For most companies, the responsibility for managing absenteeism is primarily on immediate supervisors and line managers.
"These supervisors are often the only people who are aware that a certain employee is absent," says Stefani Yorges, professor of psychology at West Chester University and executive coach with the Center for Positive Leaders. "They are, therefore, in the best position to understand the circumstances surrounding an individual's absence and to notice a problem at an early stage."
Loh agrees that it is important is to hold line managers accountable for the performance of their teams. "Often, poor supervisors and line managers look at discipline as an HR responsibility, rather than theirs," he says.
Once they have accepted that it is their responsibility, Loh explains it is then often about coaching managers on how to have 'tough but necessary conversations' with staff on such issues. "HR can coach and then sit in," he adds.
He cites an example of a supervisor who complained about staff absenteeism. He was coached and then instructed to have a meeting with Loh and the employee in question.
Absenteeism control
Prevention may be easier than cure, given the lengths people often go to cover their tracks. According to the PwC survey, illness is the favoured excuse for 83% of "skivers", with four out of ten even faking symptoms around the office in preparation for a day off. The illness of choice though, is always one which is difficult to prove: half of all excuses involve gastro-related problems.
"Employers need to use both carrots and sticks," advises Roden. "If it's very easy to call in sick, or you don't even need to call at all, people are more likely to abuse the system. But if there's more of a process to follow, people are more likely to think twice about taking time off."
Still, paying for sick leave does end up saving employers money as workers with this benefit are less likely to be injured on the job, allowing them to remain more productive. According to a study by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, employees with access to paid sick leave were found to have a 28% lowered risk of workplace injury than people without it.
HR can also drive employee wellness initiatives that increase awareness about the importance of a healthy lifestyles and put in place programmes that encourage employees to take ownership of their own health.
"For example, in some companies, employees get additional dollars in their healthcare spending pool if they go for regular health screening, achieve certain KPIs with regards to their body mass index and participate in the company's wellness campaigns which can focus on exercise, healthy diet and stress management," says Dr Wong Weng Hong, CEO, AsiaMedic.
"For companies with in-house canteens, there is also a trend of HR working with the canteen operators to set healthier menus with health tips pasted all around to reinforce the message," he adds.
Another key solution to the problem of absenteeism is to make sure staff are not overworked with continuous long hours for example. Loh suggests having a conversation with managers if this is occurring.
"Employers can also have planned leave rather than saving annual leave for potential encashment. Limiting leave carryover helps reduce this misguided thinking," says Loh. "Either way, we need to know and do something."
Fit notes replace MCs
The Statement of Fitness to Work, or "fit note" replaced the sick note or medical certificate (MC) in the UK in April 2010. The fit note allows doctors to categorise employees as 'may be fit for work', as well as 'unfit for work'. Its aim is to encourage more employees with health problems to agree with their employer about a phased return-to-work, such as reduced hours or the use of varied duties, as part of their rehabilitation and recovery.
According to findings by the UK Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and Simplyhealth Absence Management survey, more than half of employers (52%) agree that the introduction of the fit note has enabled line managers to open up important conversations about absence and health issues with their staff and discuss the best way to help get individuals back to work.
Less encouragingly, the survey suggests employers remain unconvinced that the fit note has yet had much impact in helping to reduce levels of employee sickness absence. Just one in ten respondents (11%) said the fit note had reduced absence in their organisation.
Jill Miller, CIPD Adviser, says: "This is perhaps not surprising, considering the culture change needed by general practitioners (GPs), employers and employees to ensure that a phased return-to-work is more frequently regarded as a positive and integral part of employees' rehabilitation and recovery."
"GPs and employers need to work from the same page, promoting what is best for the individual employee's health and well-being, but also what makes sense for the business," Miller adds.
She says employees too need to be more forthcoming and willing to enter these discussions. She advises policy makers not to be discouraged as it may well take five years or so before the fit note is consistently used effectively and viewed more favourably by GPs, employers and employees, to support early and lasting returns to work.

Ahhh. Will someone take me to the beach? @__@
Where to go this summer? Hmmm…
"The tide abides for, tarrieth for no man, stays no man, tide nor time tarrieth no man" by the billyllama on Flickr.
2011, the year that was.
The early part of the year started with a struggle in the love department. But we were able to meet halfway and started on a new slate. Still, a trial loomed over us for the rest of the year and continues to. I hope He hears our prayers this year (fingers crossed and palms held together).
It was the year of unexpected visits to my dream beach destinations in the Philippines. Career wise, it was the year that I pursued my master's degree. It was the year that I acquired my second license of practice (that is in another country).
As it ended, I met my long-term goal of a brace-free-smile. Yey for me! :) Over all, 2011 was challenging yet filled with God's graces.
I hope 2012 will be a more colorful and adventurous year. :)
I went to the beach last weekend but didn't have the urge to soak myself up. I guess I miss the sandy, white beaches of the places I visited over the past few months. *sigh

Senator the Hon Don Farrell
Parliamentary Secretary for Sustainability and Urban Water
Second approved arrangement announced for National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme
Media release
28 March 2012
Parliamentary Secretary for Sustainability and Urban Water Senator Don Farrell today announced the Australia and New Zealand Recycling Platform (ANZRP) as the second organisation able to deliver services under the National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme.
"The Scheme will provide Australian households and small businesses with access to free collection and recycling services for televisions, computers, printers and computer products – boosting the recycling rates for those products and providing a long-term solution to te levision and computer waste," Senator Farrell said.
"As the administrator of an approved co-regulatory arrangement ANZRP is able to sign up television and computer manufacturers and importers, and collect and recycle products on their behalf.
"ANZRP's approval follows that of DHL Supply Chain, which was announced on 6 March."
A variety of providers is an important part of the National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme's design, as it will provide a choice for television and computer manufacturers and importers on who they join. Having multiple providers in the marketplace is also expected to lead to more options for the community in how they dispose of their unwanted televisions and computers.
Further announcements of successful applicants are expected shortly. Collections under the new scheme are on track to commence in mid 2012, with access to services expanding across Australia by the end of 2013.
Senator Farrell said that the approval of ANZRP is significant, as it brings a wealth of relevant industry experience and knowledge of the scheme.
"It is great news that ANZRP is involved with the scheme as the administrator of an approved arrangement," he said.
"As a not for profit company set up solely to deliver on the outcomes of the scheme, ANZRP has strong links with industry, particularly the Australian Information Industry Association, whose members have made a big contribution to the development of the scheme.
"With the continued support of the Australian Information Industry Association, ANZRP is well placed to play an important role in improving the national recycling rate for televisions and computers."
As an approved co-regulatory arrangement, ANZRP is required to achieve annual targets for recycling computers and televisions, starting with a 30 per cent recycling rate in 2012-13 and rising to 80 per cent in 2021-22; roll out reasonable access to free collection services across Australia by December 2013; and ensure that appropriate occupational health and safety and environmental practices are in place.
The National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme is industry funded and run, but regulated by the Australian Government under the landmark Product Stewardship Act 2011.

The biggest name in the golf world is Tiger Woods, and few of his competitors receive a fraction of the media attention he commands. Tiger is the man, but right now, there are many players vying for his title as the best golfer in the world.
Woods regained his number one ranking this year, and went on to have a spectacular season. He won five times and was voted Player of the Year. Most questions about Tiger's game have been answered except for his ability to win majors again. Winning majors will be the storyline in 2014, but Tiger's winless streak has more to do with world-class players realizing their potential than Tiger's lack of focus.
This year's major winners are among the best in the world, and have loads of confidence going into the 2013-2014 season. Adam Scott won the Masters in April, and is currently second to Woods in the World Golf Rankings. Brian Wacker of PGATOUR.com writes about Scott getting to within striking distance of Woods after his incredible play since 2011.
Justin Rose won the U.S. Open in June and is currently fifth in the world. Rose's incredible performance at Merion was a long time coming for the established Englishman. In July, Phil Mickelson shot 66 in the final round of the British Open to win his fifth major. Phil has about three to five more years of great golf ahead. Jason Dufner won the season's final major, and the PGA Champ is a scary good ball striker who will be contending in plenty of majors in the future. Henrik Stenson is another player who may crush Tiger's hopes because he is the hottest golfer on the planet.
You may be an average sports fan waiting for the return of Tiger's Sunday dramatics at a major, and I understand because it is the best show in sports. However, the competition between Tiger and his fellow competitors is as good as ever, setting the stage for a magical 2014.

Assign a keyboard shortcut to Private Browsing in Safari
Command+Shift+P: not a good idea. On the Mac, that is the traditional setting for Page Setup.. And it pains me that neither Firefox nor MS Office respect that. Or that Safari has removed it.
Assign a keyboard shortcut to Private Browsing in Safari
Well, since it's not the Page Setup shortcut in Safari, and this procedure specifically ties the shortcut to Safari.app and nothing else, it's pretty fair game to use, I'd say. :)

Correct. And let's go back to the good old days, each application its own shortcuts. Atari, anyone?

NEW YORK, NY - FEBRUARY 12: A model walks the runway at the Prabal Gurung Fall 2011 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at The Studio at Lincoln Center on February 12, 2011 in New York City. (Photo by Stefan Gosatti/Getty Images for IMG)
Fashion Week is officially under a month away; In our Countdown to Fashion Week, we examine what designers and insiders are working on this week.
With just under a month until New York fashion week kicks off, one would think designers would have secured their fashion week venue months ago. However, while most New York-based designers show their collections once during September and once during February, many don't decide where they will actually be holding their shows until about six weeks prior. (To put that timeline in perspective, most people book a wedding venue over a year in advance). Some cut it so close that it's not uncommon to get a "save the date" for a fashion show without the venue even being listed. We talked to several designers who asked not to be named who also have yet to confirm where they will be showing come September.

The 90s Are All That is absolutely a disgrace. I'm a bigger Nickelodeon fan than anyone I know and couldn't have been more excited for this new block of old television, however, all my excitement went down the drain after I finally watched it.
Night number one (and the rest of them, I think?) was supposed to be hosted by Kenan (one of the reasons I decided to record the night, because, while you can get all the episodes they were showing and the majority of the old Nickelodeon bumpers online [I'll get to this later], you can't get Kenan's new interview stuff), but he was on screen about one minute total. It was incredibly disappointing. Then, I watch All That! really excited to see the show again for the first time in forever, oh, what's this, my TV says Naughty by Nature is performing?! Thank god. Oh wait, they were removed from the episode for no apparent reason even though Nick owns the TV rights for the performances. Ugh.
Then, there's a pretty lame but passable remix song featuring a bunch of clips of old bumpers and shows. I figure it's a preview for things to come, yet after the entire two-hour night, there are no full bumpers shown at all. In fact, the lack of any old Nickelodeon commercials, and the insane amount of brand new embarrassingly bad modern commercials took me out of the 90s entirely. This is not a nostalgic experience at all. That's like calling Nick GAS nostalgic. That's just a channel that shows old shows you like with new material surrounding it. I could torrent the episodes, then watch YouTube clips of the bumpers, and feel more 90s nostalgia then I could while watching this.
Not to mention, as I type this, it's Friday night and the last night of the first week of The 90s Are All That. Umm, are you kidding me? The absence of Saturday night programming (whether Snick or otherwise) is absurd and a huge missed opportunity. Until there's some shows shown that are really rare and harder to get (will there ever be?) this is absolutely worthless. I want my fucking orange couch, rare Kenan and Kel hosted cartoon marathons, and my singing tenors. I'm working on some bootleg DVDs that will be the true 90s experience, not this garbage they are trying to pass off. This is capitalizing on the stupidity and love for these shows of people my age who know no better (well, they forget the better because it was over a decade ago) and accept this trash as great 90s retro programming. Fuck this bullshit. I'll tune in once a week to see if they've done anything better yet.

AARC Virtual Lobby Week
Respiratory therapists went to Washington, D.C. to meet with members of Congress to lobby for support of HR 2619 The "Medicare Respiratory Therapist Access Act". While the lobby week has been completed, you can still help our respiratory therapists, patient advocates and local area RT students in their efforts by contacting your own members of Congress.
We hope this year's Virtual Lobby Week will generate thousands of emails, letters and phone calls to Congress from respiratory therapists, pulmonary patients and supporters of the respiratory therapy profession. Our Virtual Lobby Week was scheduled right before the respiratory therapists designated as your state societies' Political Advocacy Contact Team (PACT) representatives came to Washington, DC for the respiratory profession's annual Capitol Hill Lobby Day, which was set for April 1st . RTs were again joined this year by patient advocates and students from local DC area respiratory therapy education programs.
For more information about the results of the Virtual Lobby Week and what can still be done - click here.
MSRC RT Licensure Update
As you may recall, in early 2012 the Office of Regulatory Reinvention (ORR) recommended the de-regulation of 18 professions, with Respiratory Therapy being among them. Since that time, the MSRC has been diligently fighting to preserve our license and has retained Kindsvatter, Dalling and Associates (KDA) as our lobby firm to help guide our efforts. Over the past year, there had not been a lot of movement with this recommendation, although we were expecting some action early this fall and pro-actively took some initial steps in order to be well positioned when the time arose.
After many meetings and discussions between KDA and key policy makers in Lansing it became very clear that all 18 professions, including Respiratory Therapy, will face a legislative battle on deregulation. In fact, Senate Bill 514 has now been introduced to deregulate Respiratory Therapy license in Michigan. Here is a link to Senate Bill 514: http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?2013-SB-0514.
The MSRC leadership and KDA have been diligently working on educating our elected leaders about the need to preserve the Respiratory Therapy license here in Michigan.
Although we have the support of many organizations such as the AARC, NBRC, ATS, and the COPD Foundation, WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT! We need every one of our members to contact your elected State Senator or State Representative and urge them to preserve our license and oppose SB 514!
We know that you may not be well versed with legislative language, BUT you are all RTs and can certainly explain the complex nature of our profession, the role you play to help your patients on a daily basis, and defend why our profession must remain licensed!
We have created a list of 'Talking Points' that you may use to assist you with scheduling a meeting or phone call with your Legislator.
Donate to MSRC PAC
In order for our profession and our lobbyists to have all the tools necessary to help preserve the RT license, the MSRC needs your help to revitalize the MSRC PAC. Please click here to download a contribution form.
Act now! Please support HR2619 - the Medicare Respiratory Therapist Access Act
This past March, during Virtual Lobby Week, our MSRC members and supporters sent over 1,000 emails and letters in support of the 'Medicare Respiratory Therapist Access Act'. We need your help again!
On Monday, July 8th, Rep. John Lewis from Georgia introduced 'HR 2619'. As you may recall, this legislation would amend Medicare Part B to provide coverage of chronic disease management services furnished by a Respiratory Therapist in the physician practice setting. Ultimately, providing those with chronic lung disease greater access to RT's and to the self-management education and training that they are currently lacking.
Frank Salvatore, AARC's Federal Government Affairs Committee Chairman, has charged each state with the following:
'For the State Leadership, I ask that you begin helping the PACT communicate this throughout your state by having your webmaster attach a link to the banner ad on the AARC Website. We also need to get the information flowing throughout your states. Prepare to get those e-mails, phone calls and faxes going. My challenge to you is to see if we can get about 200+ co-sponsors within a month!!! Also, since the e-mails from capitol connection will be going not only to Representatives, let's see if our e-mail campaign can spark a companion bill in the Senate within a month!'
'The big lift is upon us! This is our time!...I firmly believe that now is our time and we must find a way to engage the grass-roots member to understand that this bill has so many more ramifications to our patients and profession than if it affects them in their job now!! It will hit every aspect of Respiratory Care positively if we get this done now. It has so much to do with readmission, better patient care, better patient access...It's just good medicine and it needs to be delivered by an RT. I hope you will get as jazzed up about this as I am. Please start greasing the communication wheels. Find ways to get to every RT within your state'.
SEND YOUR EMAIL OF SUPPORT NOW BY VISITING: http://capwiz.com/aarc/issues/
We hope that you will act soon and support your profession and the patients that we serve!
Thank you for your support,
Teena Culhane and Jeremy Bainbridge, MSRC Legislative Co-Chairs

Not a big raider (ok, I don't raid, but I like reading about it), but how much will "your healer is supposed to be in melee range to do his job" impact the design or execution of raid fights? If it doesn't impact the design of raid fights... how much do you think monk healers will be used?
I'm 100% all with letting people play the class they want (that's part of why me and raiding aren't buddies), but won't the "goal driven" see a problem with a perceived choice between "healer that's safely out of the way" and "healer that's up there dodging fires while watching green bars"?
That's one thing I'm curious about. In the beginning of Cata, rogues and kitty dps were frustratingly hard to keep up, despite CDs.
Unavoidable damage was a huge part of the new healing system Blizz wanted to try out. Leather-wearing dps would sometimes lose life way too fast to keep up with.
I can only imagine what it would be like with a melee-range healer in the same situation.
From what I have heard, they aren't in melee range of the boss, but melee range of the heal target. So they're very mobile - think holy raidiance. based on some of the sample skills we saw at blizzcon(the statues), I would think they will do just fine *ONCE* the player figures out how to use it.
Healers need to learn to be more mobile...
I heal in melee range of the boss all the time.
The only time I'm standing still most fights is when casting a slow heal. I learned to be mobile during the OZ event of Kara in patch 2.4... and I'm still waiting for the average healer I see in PUGs to catch up to where I was in 2007...
Stop casting roots on yourself, and get moving.
I don't see any difference between being asked to heal in melee or in range - if you're doing it right, you're already weaving in and out of various places and playing attention to fight rather than to the healbot boxes anyway... so just go left no instead of right, and dive through there rather than here.

Hi Tumblr world! Sorry for neglecting you, but just to let you know.. Thanks to the strength from God, I'm 139lbs now.. Without God, this number is not possible, so the credit really goes to Him. Thank you, Jesus! :)

Who would have thought the game of tennis can toy with your mind in such a way, that your game crumbles with a single bad shot. Your mind gets so distorted about that last shot and on the next point, you find yourself hitting that ever so, tiny yellow ball right into the net.. there goes the game! Can you bounce back? Yes, you really can, BUT it is extremely hard. Once you fall into the trap of: "double faults," "ball into the net," " your body freezes up and cannot get to the ball," it takes more to get out of that funk than getting into the pit in the first place. Getting back to the positive thinking or I would like say.. "do not think, but play and move on". It is difficult, it is one of those things that it is easier said than done. However, today I can tell you, I did not bounce back and I ended up after the game, smacking the living daylight out of a few tennis balls. I have to say, I felt better, but I have to remember not to let one game get to me. After years of tennis, this is still a working progress. The game of tennis and I will always be in a love hate relationship.
Alright, if you guys do not know by now, my love language is quality time with acts of service right behind it. If you do not know what I am talking about, you should look it up online, search, the Five Love Languages. In case you were wondering what those five love languages are: quality time, acts of service, physical touch, giving gifts, and words of affirmation.
Anyway, with quality time, I cannot tell you how much I enjoy spending time with people. We can do absolutely nothing, we can be doing the most tedious things ever, or actually doing something and I would love every minute of it! Granted, there those awkward moments of silence, but I do not feel you need to talking consistently to enjoy each other's presence. So, let's hang out more, people! :)
Out of everything I have done in Socal, the best thing by far, was catching up and hanging out with with my friends. I tell you this now, if God has plans for me move to Socal, I would in a heart beat. So, pray for me.. if there is an opportunity in the future. :)
1. Going to Disneyland with church friends. I loved World of Colors and the Toy Story ride! Oh, and I started to collect the 3D Mickey shape pins!
2. Eating with Elsa and the Hino's at Soup Plantation. Definitely was full that night!
3. Visiting FCBC-LA and eating at Rick's Fish Tacos stand. The tacos were soo good, I wanted a third one, but I had to tell myself no..
4. Sara Bareilles Concert! Well, the main event was Sugarland.. but still, Sara was absolutely amazing as always. The adventure getting into and out of the Greek amphitheater was crazy! I think we even went off-roading to get of the parking lot. On a side note, there are some hardcore country fans out there! :)
5. The Voice Tour Concert! That is correct, another concert! Haha.. I honestly, did not have any expectation going into the concert, but it was a lot fun! It was weird at first, because you been watching these contestants on tv for a few months and then you are there watching them perform live. Also, I wanted to see if their voices sounds the same on tv and as do live, I can report back and say.. it's pretty much same.. Frenchie and Javier killed it that night!
6. Eating at Cooks, Umami Burgers and getting milk tea at Half and Half with CDub was pretty epic! Oh, and I forgot about watching Captain America tooo! :)
7. Golfing range with Jade and Darwin was pretty fun! First time at a golfing range and I don't think it will be my last time there. Thanks guys, for not making fun of me as I tried to swing at the ball.. haha :)
8. Hanging out with the Hinos! The kids are growing up soo fast! It is very interesting to see their personalities coming out more each time I visit.
9. My friend, David and I ordered a beef noodle dish at Ledo Cafe, and they forgot to put any beef in it… may not be a highlight.. but it was sure funny! Haha..
10. Lastly, how can I not talk about traffic when we are talking about Socal! I surely do not miss Socal traffic one bit! CDub and I were stuck in local street traffic for about an hour and half just trying to go our concert for the Voice, and the distance was only about 7 miles that we needed to travel.. Ridiculous, I know!
Thanks again for the memories, guys! :D
Tear! It has already been a week and tomorrow, I got back to the daily grind of Norcal.. My trip has been great with friends and lots of awesome food.. too good for my own good.. :) Here is the lovely list:
Thursday: Tasty Gardens
Friday: 1/2 of hot link corn dog, only a couple of bits of Dole Whip Float - Disneyland
Saturday: Soup Plantation
Sunday: Ricky's Fish Tacos
Monday: no where special.. only if you count In and Out
Tuesday: Italian Cafe place.., Ledo Cafe
Wednesday: Cooks, Unmai Burgers, Half and Half
Today: it's a misery still.. :)
