It was a pretty uneventful last week. I got in three good workouts. One with Trevor and two while I was officiating at the state swim meet in Canton.
The hotel I stayed at had a nice fitness room with a treadmill, elliptical machine and recumbent bike, as well as a weight machine, fitness ball and dumbbells. To top it off, there was an indoor pool and hot tub adjacent to the fitness room. I used this facility twice and thoroughly enjoyed it, especially being able to go in the hot tub and pool to relax after the 45-to-60 minute workout.
Eating was not too bad. I had a shake and fruit every morning, a high-protein lunch and normal, balanced dinner each day between sessions of swimming and diving. I tried to have some popcorn at the hotel, but it burned in the microwave, so I guess I wasn't supposed to have it.
I have lost 37 pounds and 15.5 inches since Jan. 1. Now that swimming is over, I hope to be able to increase my workout frequency and intensity and have a really good month of March. I have only averaged about two workouts a week for the past two months. I have done well, but am looking forward to some really great progress since I will have more time to work out and prepare my food in advance. Also, I hope the weather will break and I can get out and do some bicycling.

Magic of the Canadian West
Canada, Discovery, 14 days - from £1,995 (land only) - from €2,795 (land only) - from $3,220 (land only)
Country Profile
With a vast land area of almost 10 million square kilometres and a population of just over 30 million people, Canada has a lot of wide open spaces with huge tracts of uninhabited countryside. There is a great variety of different landform, ranging from the intensively farmed plains of the south to the evocatively named "Barren Grounds" of the north, which are characterised by permafrost and freezing tundra. The Yukon stretches from British Columbia in the south to beyond the Arctic Circle. To the northwest it is bordered by Alaska. The region and the state gets its name from the Yukon River, a 3000-km (1800 mile) artery that rises in BC's Coast Mountains and flows through the heart of the Yukon and Alaska to the Bering Sea. At the westernmost tip of the Yukon are located the country's highest mountains. Together with the neighbouring Wrangell National Park in Alaska, the Kluane National Park protects the St Elias Mountains, including Mount Logan (5950m) - Canada's highest point – and Mount McKinley (6193m) in Alaska, the highest point in North America. Below them, and covering half the park, is a huge basin of mile-deep glaciers and ice fields, the world's largest non-polar ice. The Canadian Rockies extend for 2000 km (1200 miles) south from the Yukon through Alberta and British Columbia. One of the most accessible parts of the range is located at the western edge of the state of Alberta, some 250 km (155 miles) west of Edmonton and closer still to the town of Calgary. Here, there are 2 adjoining national parks; Banff National Park and Jasper National Park, which together enclose more than 17,000 sq km (6,560 sq miles) of beautiful mountain scenery. Despite its ease of access, this is still a wilderness area. Endless forests, extensive tundra, powerful glaciers, and cascading rivers are overlooked by peaks almost 4000m (13,000ft) tall. The Athabasca River, which has its source in the Jasper National Park, flows for more than 1500 km (almost 1000 miles) across Canada.
Time Zone
The time in Alberta is GMT -7 hours
The weather in the Canadian Rocky Mountains is ever-changing and always unpredictable. Summer days are long, but the summer season is short. July is the warmest month with a mean daily maximum temperature of 22°C / 72°F. We can expect to encounter temperatures during the day ranging from 18°C / 64°F to 27°C / 80°F. Naturally, at the highest elevations, the daytime temperatures will be lower than this. At night, the temperatures will typically drop to around 10°C / 50°F or even a few degrees lower. Although the weather is relatively stable at this time of year, we can expect some rainfall.
The unit of currency in Canada is the Canadian dollar. For up to date exchange rates visit: www.xe.com.Canadian dollars can be easily obtained outside the country. The best and fastest way to obtain cash in-country is from ATMs using a credit or debit card. If you are carrying your travel money in travellers cheques you should use US or Canadian dollar denominations. Cheques can be cashed at Thomas Cook and other exchange bureaux or at major banks. Credit cards can be used to purchase most goods and services and at major restaurants.
Visa Requirements
Current to 14 March 2016
A passport (with at least 6 months remaining validity) is required.
Citizens of the US, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, and nationals of countries within the EU do not need a visa for visits to Canada up to 90 days.
From 15 March 2016
As of March 2016 all citizens (except for USA citizens) travelling to or transiting in Canada require at eTA - Electronic Travel Authorization. Travellers are able to apply online for the eTA for travel after 15 Mar 16. The eTA is valid for 5 years.
Applying for an eTa is an easy online process that will take just a few minutes. It costs $7 Canadian Dollars, and you require your passport that you will travel on, a credit card and an email address.
Passengers intending to fly via the USA, please note the following:
Under the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (ESTA), all travellers, including children, from the 27 countries under the US visa waiver programme (VWP) will have to fill out an electronic travel authorization form online at www.esta.cbp.dhs.gov prior to boarding any US-bound aircraft or ship. You can also use this site to check whether your country is part of the visa waiver scheme.
You will be required to answer questions about criminal records, communicable diseases, past history of visa revocation or deportation, and basic biographical data such as name, birth date and passport information. Changes in address and itinerary can be made online after the ESTA form has been first submitted.
You will not be allowed to board any US bound aircraft if you have not completed the online ESTA form.
If you have a criminal record (including criminal driving offences), you will be required to obtain a visa in advance of entering or transiting the USA.
You should attend your own doctor and dentist for a check-up. Your doctor will have access to the most up to date information on the required vaccinations for the country you are visiting. For the USA and Canada, in general, you do not require any vaccinations other than standard travel jabs (Polio, Tetanus, and Hepatitus A etc).

Hi guys, I have a liitle more free time now and am starting to do more metal working projects. I have had a miller xmt and s64 wire feeder for about 5 years now and use it when needed for repairs and what not.
I am starting to work on cars more and other metal working projects and would like to start expanding my metal working machine collection. I have been searching this site for about 2 hours now looking at past posts and found a few projects that I would like to make. I was searching for plans for a metal/pipe bender in particular. The place I worked at last had one that was home made and pretty nice.
So I'm going to keep searching for plans that others have built but was wondering if anyone has links to plans for metal working equipement. In particular a metal/pipe bender, belt sander(I saw a really nice one that someone built on this site), a brake/bender, a press, and I'm sure there is other equipment I could use! I really like building my own tools.
Thanks for any links to plans or feels free to email me any plans or pics you might have for these machines that you've already built. Scott

Also are there any special tools I need to make this? Or special parts I need to order from anywhere?
This is what I was looking for and hopefully will start making the parts this week. Hopefully I can make most of the parts without any special equipment.
Thanks again Bob

Thanks for the help Bob. I have been searching for a couple of days now and have a couple projects that I am excited to get started.
The bender is what I was really looking for and those are some great plans. Read about the hydro conversion and might try that sometime if I can afford the pump.
Found some presses that I like and am going to try and copy the design, seems pretty straight forward. Probably just use a hydralic jack for now since the pumps are pretty expensive.
I didn't find much for a press/brake. A few pics and the one miller has on their website. That will do for now but I read alot of people have problems with the middle not clamping well.
I really want a belt sander that someone else made. Looks pretty complicated but sure would be nice. Had one at my last maintenance job for de burring cut medal and was quick and easy.
Thanks again for the help and hopefully I'll have some pics of some usefull projects sometime soon.

Ponch37300, Lincoln has some project books that contain shop tool plans in them. There are either three or four books in the series. You should be able to find them on the Lincoln website. They used to be about $9 each. Also, check here in the Welding Projects tab. Some great projects, and plans available with some of them.
Also, thanks Bob, for the bender plans. So much to build, and so little time! RayRay

Yes thanks Bob.
From searching one of the links he sent me and reading about 4 hours I found this thread on making tool cabinets and hardware storage that are unbelievable. Here is a link to the best thread I read on this guys cabinets but if you search welding forums there is a bunch of threads on these.
I would love to build a couple of these!!! They are amazing and pretty economical.

XMT 304 Questions
I have the XMT 304 welder that I just picked up. I have a wire feeder to go with it. Perhaps you can tell me what its strengths and weaknesses are and what things you find it does really well. I also have an Esab 200 wire welder and a small Thermal Arc 185 welder.

Die sets for the Hossfeld type bender are available either from Hossfeld itself or American bender. Be sure of the type/brand of bender matches what you are planning to do with it because the cost of the die sets will have you chained to your decision from then on.
The frame of the Hossfeld is a simple affair. Helps to have a mill to punch the holes with precision, but a center punch and drill press should see you through it. The bends in the frame are a snap on a 20 ton shop press. Be aware that pipe bending on the Hossfeld is no easy task without hydraulics aiding and assisting in the process. With the hydraulic conversion you won't need to anchor the bender down while in use...mine skittered all over the place even while mounted on a 650 lbs. welding table.Miller 251...sold the spoolgun to DiverBill.

¡Que viva Mexico! (1932)
After the dissolution of his project based on the Theodore Dreiser novel An American Tragedy and nearing the conclusion of his failed sojourn in Hollywood, legendary Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein secured financing for this documentary about Mexico from avowed Socialist Upton Sinclair. Eisenstein and his cinematographer Eduard Tisse shot the film in 1931 and '32, intending to divide the narrative into four novels or segments called Sandunga, Fiesta, Maguey, and Soldadera. After completing filming, Eisenstein sent his footage to Hollywood for processing but political and economic intrigues prevented him from ever editing the material. Intended to be an episodic study of Mexico's durable ethnography and symbols against the backdrop of its colonial history from the ancient Mayans to the 1910 revolution, Que Viva Mexico was instead tragically chopped into pieces and used in a variety of other films, mostly documentary shorts. In 1979, this version of the film was reconstructed by Eisenstein's assistant director, Grigory Alexandrov, from his former mentor's notes.~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Roughly, the word in -ity usually means the quality of being what the adjective describes, or concretely an instance of the quality, or collectively all the instances; & the word in -ism means the disposition, or collectively all those who feel it. [Fowler]
The reason for writing I is ... the orthographic habit in the middle ages of using a 'long i' (that is, j or I) whenever the letter was isolated or formed the last letter of a group; the numeral 'one' was written j or I (and three iij, etc.), just as much as the pronoun. [Otto Jespersen, "Growth and Structure of the English Language," p.233]The form ich or ik, especially before vowels, lingered in northern England until c. 1400 and survived in southern dialects until 18c. The dot on the "small" letter -i- began to appear in 11c. Latin manuscripts, to distinguish the letter from the stroke of another letter (such as -m- or -n-). Originally a diacritic, it was reduced to a dot with the introduction of Roman type fonts. The letter -y- also was written with a top dot in Old English and early Middle English, when it tended to be written with a closed loop at the top and thus was almost indistinguishable from the lower-case thorn (þ).
Intelligence is a general capacity of an individual consciously to adjust his thinking to new requirements: it is general mental adaptability to new problems and conditions of life. [Stern, "The Psychological Methods of Testing Intelligence," 1914]

Q & A with Sarah
- Why did you choose to attend Alice Lloyd College?
I loved what it stood for. The values held by the school are the same ones that have been instilled in me since I was a child. I fell in love with the campus and the staff! Plus, your tuition is guaranteed to be paid for. You can't beat that!
- Did you tour other colleges and universities? Describe your tour at Alice Lloyd. What made Alice Lloyd College stand out?
I toured several other schools before my tour at Alice Lloyd. The student who showed me around ALC's campus knew so much about the school and its background. You could see how passionate she was about the College. That was what I was looking for!
- What's your major?
I am going to major in Business Administration with hopes of continuing my education at the University of Kentucky where I will pursue a master's degree.
- Are you planning on participating in any extracurricular activities?
I look forward to becoming an active member of Phi Beta Lambda in the fall of 2014.
- What was the one thing you had to bring with you to college?
The one thing I absolutely had to take with me was my Bible. It was given to me by my church when I was baptized.
- What do you hope to get out of your college experience?
My first year has been a blast. I work off-campus at a part-time job, so I've learned time management skills. I've made awesome friends and made tons of memories. I look forward to making many more the next few years!
- After you graduate from ALC, what are your goals?
My goal after graduation is to pursue my MBA. I'm not sure what the future holds beyond that.
- What are you most excited about as you begin the next chapter of your life at ALC?
The next chapter of my life here at Alice Lloyd began with my acceptance into the College's Business Program. In the fall of 2014, I will begin taking business classes in hopes of completing my degree in three years rather than four.

Sebastian Vettel says it is "up to" Red Bull how quickly they close the gap after joining the Merc drivers on the Sepang podium.
Vettel fought back from his pre-season woes and his Australian retirement to not only claim his first points but also first podium of the Championship in Malaysia.
Starting second on the grid, the German was swallowed up by the Mercedes driver before having to battle his team-mate Daniel Ricciardo for third.
He eventually pulled ahead and maintained third all the way to the chequered flag.
Asked if it his third was beyond expectations, he said: "Yeah, it is.
"The guys are pushing back in the factory and at Renault.
"Considering where we were not even two months ago I think this weekend is a massive step in the right direction. It's a shame we didn't finish with both cars."
Vettel, however, admits Red Bull still have a long way to go to catch Mercedes.
Not only did he finish Sunday's 56-lap grand prix 24.5s behind race winner Lewis Hamilton, Red Bull are also 53 points adrift in the Constructors' Championship.
He said: "Mercedes is still quite a bit ahead and always have enough in hand to respond. It is up to us how quick we managed to come back.
"At the moment it looks like we're making bigger steps than them, so I hope it continues.
"There is a lot still to learn and we need the laps, but for now it's important to collect points. We'll try to be up there very soon again."

At the outset of President Obama's second term, he sits atop a government that a majority of Americans - 53 percent - view as a threat to personal rights and freedoms, according to a new poll from the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
In March 2010, only 47 percent of respondents felt that the government threatened their freedom. The increase since then has been driven largely by Republicans - in 2010, only 62 percent of conservative Republicans described the government as a threat, but today, 76 percent of conservative Republicans feel threatened by the state.
One interesting crosstab: amid a growing push for stricter gun laws, households with guns feel more threatened than households without: 62 percent of gun-owning households view government as a threat to freedom, while only 45 percent of those without guns agree.
What are Obama's gun control proposals?
Obama: Gun control supporters must listen more. And just 26 percent of respondents said they trust the government to do the right thing always or most of the time; 73 percent said the government can be trusted to do the right thing only sometimes or never.
Still, despite the desultory numbers, only 19 percent of respondents described themselves as "angry" at the federal government. A much more common sentiment - frustration - was voiced by 58 percent. And 20 percent described themselves as basically content with the government.
The Pew poll also delivers a familiar verdict on Congress. (Spoiler alert: people don't like it.)

US 231 Project will close a section of Lindberg Road
Contractor plans to close roadway on Tuesday
TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announces Lindberg Road will close on or after Tuesday, September 4. Lindberg Road will close between Robin Hood Lane and McCormick Road. The contractor will be reconstructing Lindberg Road and improving the drainage with the construction of ditches for the new intersection with US 231. The roadway is scheduled to reopen by the first of December. The detour follows Klondike Road to US 52 to Northwestern Ave.
This $45.6 million Major Moves project will relocate US 231. The US 231 Bypass will begin just north of the Wabash River and continue east of the Purdue University Airport, then northwest to State Road 26 near its intersection with Newman Road. The bypass will connect with US 52 just west of McCormick Road. Construction began in the spring of last year. The 5.3 miles of US 231 is scheduled to be open to traffic by the end of September in 2013.
Major Moves fully funds a decade of critical highway projects in Indiana. Major Moves capitalizes on Indiana's strategic location at the Crossroads of America by building a superior road infrastructure. This innovative plan will bring jobs to the Hoosier State and leave a legacy for Indiana to be a global leader in distribution and logistics.
INDOT reminds drivers to use caution and consider worker safety when driving through a construction zone. For the latest news and information about INDOT, please visit www.in.gov/indot or www.trafficwise.IN.gov .

Anyone who says they know whats going to happen for certain or that Ireland is locked into a job could be in for a rude awakening a mere 4 weeks from now. I think its hilarious that Armando is considered a horrible reporter when he reports something that fans dont like, but considered impeccable when reporting something fans are biased towards.
Ross expected a playoff berth. At the very least he expected a winning season. Its plausable we go 1-3 or get swept the rest of the way. If we end up with 6 wins or less seats could heat up very quickly. Nothing kills jobs faster than a season spiraling out of control.
In all likelyhood Ireland will remain. But that has very little to do with his job performance. One thing is for certain, we wont know until those final games are played.
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 4
At this point I want us to lose out.
Only way to insure Ireland goes... HE is the reason we suck. Until he is gone we have ZERO shot.
The only way Ireland goes is if we promote Gaine.
If I were Ross and I really believed we would be trying to contend this season I would have a conversation the week before the season that would go something like this: A blind monkey could see that your offseason "moves" wouldn't help us win games or help ticket sales this season ...SO WTF JEFF!?!?

A Conversation with GE
GE partnered with TED to launch TED Conversations. Here, their scientists and leaders engage with the TED community on key global issues.
Michael J. Barber
This conversation is closed.
A conversation with GE: Why do we avoid making tough health choices? And, what could motivate us to behave differently?
Healthymagination is about better health for more people. We think that part of that mission is making information available to consumers so they can make the best health choices possible. Access to information also helps further the dialogue between patients and doctors.
The TED community embodies a sense of discovery, tackling difficult issues head on. In the spirit of both TED and healthymagination, we'd invite you to share your thoughts on why people avoid making tough health choices. And, what could motivate us to behave differently.
When it comes to seeing a doctor, even the most responsible people may push things off. Drawing on fields as diverse as psychology, technology, public health and behavioral economics, how can we explain why we remember to do our taxes but put off getting screened for serious conditions -- especially when we know that early detection offers the best outcomes? And, how can we design systems and tools that reverse this behavior?
We look forward to hearing your thoughts, perspectives, questions and experiences.
Closing Statement from Michael J. Barber, VP, GE Healthymagination
Well, TED community, now that our conversation has come to a close, I'd like to thank you all for sharing your thought-provoking questions and insightful ideas on patient behavior. I also want to thank Dr. Nancy Snyderman for participating and for bringing her valuable medical perspective to our discussion.
Over the course of the conversation, some key takeaways for me included:
+ It takes time to drive real change in community healthcare systems but it is worth the effort to increase access, decrease costs and improve the quality of healthcare.
+ Being smart and honest with our healthcare providers goes a long way no matter which country we live in.
+ We can save 100,000 lives a year by preventing hospital errors.
+ Learning about health early in life and developing good habits can have a big impact on our healthcare system in the future.
+ As patients become better armed with information through technology, we will see the patient/doctor relationship evolve into something more meaningful and efficient.
+ If good health is a priority in the workspace, these habits will translate into the home.
This has been a great first experience with TED Conversations for me and I hope to meet you all in the digital healthcare space again soon.

Jul 22 2011: Erika - You have hit on two challenging health industry issues: wellness and the doctor/patient relationship. Regarding the first one, I like what I see in some spaces online today in terms of helping people make healthy choices. Two companies that we've collaborated with over the past few years are MedHelp and HealthLine. Both do an excellent job creating tools that provide good health information as well as steps you should take to better manage your health. MedHelp has created apps that encourage good choices around sleep, nutrition and fitness and HealthLine has created BodyMaps -- an interactive tool that can guide people through what is going on inside the body during different conditions. The concept of gaming in the health space has a lot of potential. GE is actually hosting a summit on health gaming in NYC next week, which I look forward to joining.
On the topic of the doctor/patient relationship, we recently sponsored a related study, which launched at the Vancouver Olympics. Some of the results were thought-provoking. For example, 77% of healthcare professionals said that one fourth or more of their patients have lied to them about their health. More people knew how many vacation days they had left (47%) than how many calories they'd consumed yesterday (43%). At the link here, you can click through a data visualization that outlines all of the findings: http://www.healthymagination.com/projects/better-health-study/. We collaborated with WebMD on this topic to develop an interactive tool that guides the patient though what questions/dialogue they should be having with their physician.

Jul 23 2011: Michael, how about incorporating in our education sysems healthy lifestyles and the clear consequences of abuse to our body systems.
- +1
Some people are more aware of their vacation or sick leave days is probably a sign of work stress that sometimes encroaches on the daily pressures of family life. Are there studies too about shorter or more fleixble work days resulting in better productivity and health?
My general suggestion also is to raise awareness at all levels and at any stage of our lives the power of our minds to understand the dynamics of our healthy and self-healing bodies, and the caring of our hearts to be more responsible and contributing also to the healthy welfare of the people close to us.
Jul 25 2011: I couldn't agree with you more about the importance of teaching healthy lifestyles in our education system. For five years now, GE Healthcare has supported Dr. Olajide Williams, MD, MS, a neurologist at Harlem Hospital. Better known as the "Hip Hop Doc," he is the founder of the Hip-Hop Public Health Education Center, which uses hip-hop to teach school children (and their families) about health. Hip Hop H.E.A.L.S (Healthy Eating and Living in Schools) is Dr. William's program that educates children about health at their schools. The Hip Hop H.E.A.L.S program works to prevent disease in school-aged children which are mainly caused by unhealthy eating and lack of exercise. With the help of all-stars like Doug E. Fresh and Chuck D., Hip Hop H.E.A.L.S was created to empower kids about these issues through professionally produced hip-hop music, hip-hop video games, cartoons, choreographed dance moves, and comic books that all focus on nutrition and exercise. The goal is to help lower rates of obesity in Harlem and help prevent the other diseases that are associated with unhealthy lifestyle choices such as diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension). The program has been successful in Harlem and now reaches 12,000 New York City school kids a year. Last month we joined Dr. Williams and his team in Harlem to celebrate the 3rd Annual Hip Hop Public Health Summit and the release of "Hip Hop Health Vol. 1," a compilation of educational rap songs for kids which cover a wide-range of health issues, including "Stroke Ain't No Joke," "Exercise and Be Calorie Wise" and "Go Slow Whoa," a song that groups foods into easy-to-follow stoplight commands. You can check out some highlights from the summit here: http://www.gereports.com/doug-e-fresh-chuck-d-and-the-hip-hop-doc-celebrate-health-in-harlem/. Learning about health early in life and developing good habits will have a big impact on our healthcare system in the long run.

Jul 22 2011: My experience as a doctor tells me generally people avoid going to doctors,as they think that nothing is seriously wrong with them.People tend to think tfinancial aspechat all bad things happen to others, but not to them.In India, it is common to try home remedies,alternative systems of medicine before they consult an allopathic doctor
- +1
Secondly ,many are of the impression that medical practitioners ask for too many unwanted investigations.To add to all these is the inconvenience of going to the hospitals, waiting for the doctors, visiting various departments for investigations and the most important expenditure they are likely to incur deter people from going to hospitals.
Jul 22 2011: It is interesting that cultural differences play roles in how we regard our physician/healers and how we access the health care systems. I know it can be dangerous to compare countries and the structure of medical systems, so let me address this as a surgeon who has traveled the world but only treated people in the United States.
Most of us prepare more time thinking about what we want to get at the grocery store or market than we do before seeing the doctor. But whether sick or healthy, preparing for that visit can save time and allow us to get more out of the visit. Sharing information can be frightening. But I think it is just as scary when doctors don't take the time to ask the basics....how are you? how is work? How is your marriage and the children? Are you under stress or sad? The social aspects of our lives can influence disease and illness.
The bottom line for all of us, anywhere in the world, is to do the things in life that can keep us healthy, share the burden of staying healthy with our health care provider, and use the hospital as a last resort. Being smart and honest go a long way no matter which country we live in.
Jul 22 2011: I was so happy to read your response. I am really lucky, and have an incredible GP who encourages my involvment, and who understands that we have a relationship, that he is the advisor, but that I am the decision maker. Sadly, far too few doctors encourage, or even tolerate, an involved patient. Doctors should be actively training patients to be better patients, and patients should be encouraging doctors and health care professionals to work with them, not for them or on them. Thanks for giving us a broader view of a balanced visit. (Needless to say, the above is impossible when financial concerns of privatized medicine are involved.)
Chaya Nair
Jul 23 2011: Dear Dr.Nanacy,
- +1
You touched upon the most important aspect of doctor-patient relationship i.e.taking time to ask basics.,2 decades ago when there were not many specialities and specialists,a family doctor used to play a significant role in people's lives.He or she was the doctor,counsellor,friend,philosopher and guide.People had immense faith in their family doctors.Now with the advent of multi speciality hospitals ,medical technological advances and commercialisation and insurance,people think twice before going to hospitals.Many feel that they are not people friendly.Here in Bangalore we have a NGO known as"Helping Hand" whose volunteers visit the hospitals and help the patients and their families.Probably,we need more volunteers to do this kind of work.I strongly feel that medical students should be trined in communication and counselling skills.Jul 21 2011: I don't believe the solution is as simple as figuring out how to make people make tough decisions. This is a complex issue/problem. Technology, simple solutions (like checklists) and mandates all have been implemented in an attempt to improve our health care system. Billions of dollars have been spent on research for and implementation of these various initiatives. Complexity science and systems science explains why we have not seen sustainable improvement- we have not changed our health care system structures. As long as we continue to have individual physicians acting independently and hospitals designed in hierarchies with vertical departments, we will not see improved health care no matter how much technology, information and money we allocate to these systems. We need to re-allocate resources to the horizontal processes that are the important processes to be defined, measured and improved- the cycle of care for each patient problem and disease from the patient's perspective. The solution is relatively simple- develop care teams (with physicians acting as a part of a team) and communities around definable patient problems and use continuous clinical quality improvement principles to create value. The implementation is challenging because of the strong attractors in place for the people in control of the resources in our current health care system structures to maintain the status quo, especially at our traditional academic medical centers. I would change your question to: How do we change our health care system structures to enable sustainable improvement for the health of our society?- each problem will require a variety of emergent solutions driven by engaged, accountable communities.
Jul 21 2011: Hi Bruce – Really interesting thoughts here. We're working on one project that might interest you – an experiment along the lines of developing a community-wide consortium of employers, payers, providers and patients who are focused on reducing costs, raising quality and increasing access to healthcare. In Cincinnati, where GE has a major presence, more than 12 percent of its population lacks health insurance, the mortality rate is higher than average and annual health spending increases have been averaging eight percent. In early 2010, GE coordinated with community leaders and other local corporations to catalyze citywide approaches to reducing costs and improving quality of and access to care. The community's goal is to drive $1 billion of cost out of the system – while improving outcomes – by 2014. It's been a marathon – not a sprint. Even though we like to see progress quarter-by-quarter at GE, we realize that it takes time to drive real change. In Cincinnati, it took creating an executive stakeholder board, agreeing on a set of metrics, developing incentive plans for Patient Centered Medical Homes (PCMH), creating patient engagement portals and there is more to come, but the needle is moving. The question we're asking ourselves now is how to repeat this model in other communities.
Jul 21 2011: Thanks Michael- that sounds like a marathon. Congratulations on the effort so far. It is very challenging to get all of those stakeholders to work together. We are working on more of a bottom-up approach, starting a new academic medical center with just five divisions, to start with- hernia disease, obesity, breast disease, GI disease and trauma. We are building teams around these patient groups and defining dynamic care processes and outcomes measures. We have a group of engineers on our teams to apply clinical quality improvement processes to learn and improve value within these processes. We are working with industry partners to learn where their products have value (and where the don't have value or cause complications) within these care processes. After a year of planning, we are starting the implementation now. Thanks again for the interest.Jul 22 2011: This project sounds fantastic - as long as people from ALL INCOME LEVELS are included WITH EQUAL SAY, and as long as there is equal/fair representation from genders, cultural groups, and age groups. Please post where to find the findings once they are published!
Kodiak Krapf
Jul 20 2011: what about partnering with insurance compaines and giving people breaks on they're insurance if they get regular check ups? offer free screenings, we know that specialist doctors make enough money anywho.Jul 28 2011: I would put the most important issue at ease/comfort of access. Access to the Dr.'s office, access to information from the Dr., financial access to the necessary treatments and last but not least realistic access to the ability to change your life as might be needed after you get your results.
- +1
The reality is people, for the most part, won't do things that aren't somewhat convienient.
It boils down to is people don't want to know. It's not worth the aggravation of finding out. Even if everything goes wonderfully in a Dr. visit health-wise the experience sucks. Its dehumanizing and usually makes you feel guilty for something you aren't doing that you should for your health.
If there are problems discovered in a visit people can't perceive how they can change their lifestyle to what they THINK they might have to without losing the things they like in their current lifestyle.
Basically your job is to market an experience that is unpleasant (at best) well enough that people will go through it often enough to get the bad news sooner.
My primary suggestion is to make your organization show their clients/patients respect. Make appointments mean something. Charge a fee for no show (not covered by insurance of course) if necessary but respect your patient's time and them. Make the action of visiting as painless as possible so that people will be willing to at least take that first step. Give them reasonable access to their Dr.
At the other end of the contact give them access to support in making changes that they can't see how to make. Changing your lifestyle is HUGE and looks expensive to the patient. The online social networks are probably one of the best tools for that but don't just hand them a network name or website and let it go. Make it a part of the Dr.'s clinic or practice to be involved at this end as well.Jul 27 2011: I think about this a lot - why people find it so difficult to take responsibility for their health - it polarizes my thinking from one extreme to the other and back on a regular basis. On the one hand, I believe in the freedom of the individual to shape their own lives; on the other hand I believe we have a responsibility towards each other and to society as a whole.
Case in point (and bearing in mind I live in a country with a single-payor socialized health system (and very good it is too):
Last week, my father had a successful heart bypass operation after a series of heart attacks (he thought indigestion) caused by severe coronary artery disease. He never smoked. He is far fitter than the average 68 year-old, cycling upwards of 100 miles/week. He eats a largely fish/vegetarian diet out of preference, has been very active all his life, and drinks in moderation, and he has been very proactive over the last 15 years in managing his health. Yet genetics through him a curve ball and the UK's NHS has just spent ca. USD 20,000 re-doing the plumbing around his heart.
Outside the hospital when I visited, stood an army of smokers, many of them far from their ideal BMI, many of them on drips, some in wheelchairs...and I thought "Really? Should the NHS be paying for this? Their irresponsibility is causing an unnecessary drain on health resources, " I ranted at my brother (I was emotional - seeing your dad intubated in the ICU is never nice). At which point he (who is actually rather clever, and also works in health), pointed out: "Where do you draw the line? Do you refuse to treat drivers who crash their cars driving over the speed limit?" causing a crash of moral reasoning. I don't know.
So how does the payor (state or insurance company) encourage better health behaviours? I don't think there is one answer - I think there are many, and they are likely different for everyone - what would make you look after your health the way you should?
Jul 28 2011: Conor – It's nice to see a fellow GE employee participating in this conversation on patient behavior. I hope your father is doing well. We often have the "carrot" and "stick" discussion within GE, as you know. Do you incentivize people by paying them a cash bonus for going to the gym? Or do you charge them $10 for their hamburger in the work cafeteria and $3 for their salad?
You know as a GE employee that through our internal health initiative – HealthAhead – we've focused on helping employees improve the way they eat, work and live through both carrot and stick approaches. For example, by the end of 2010, 120 out of 295 GE-owned-and-operated campuses were tobacco-free. What I've taken away from our HealthAhead initiative is that employers can help set the tone for their employees. If good health is a priority in the workspace, these habits will translate into the home. We hope this will have a lasting impact on the individual employees and their families.Jul 26 2011: 1. [...] "how can we explain why we remember to do our taxes but put off getting screened for serious conditions -- especially when we know that early detection offers the best outcomes?"
Abstraction. As Terence McKenna once said, "Abstraction is the knife poised at our hearts."
2. "And, how can we design systems and tools that reverse this behavior?"
Meet peoples needs and develop their potentials.Jul 26 2011: While we wrestle with how best to spend our health care dollars and the belief that screening for certain diseases can save lives, I would like to know what you think.
Cancer of the colon runs in my family so I started colonoscopies at the age of 40. But breast cancer I have no risks for and probably could have put off screening until I was 50.
What are your beliefs about screening? What do you do and where do you turn for advice?Jul 26 2011: Good afternoon, TED community. I wanted to share with you all something exciting happening with GE in the healthcare space. Today in New York City, we are hosting our first-ever Health Gaming Summit. It is a deep dive into how social gaming, personal tech and mobile devices can catalyze innovative behavior change and foster greater engagement for everyone. Our summit brings together thought leaders in personalized healthcare, sensor and mobile technology -- the leading minds among policymakers, entrepreneurs and technology developers. The event features a talent roster of pioneers in the space including Ben Sawyer, the co-founder of Digitalmill, John de Souza, CEO and President of MedHelp International, Inc. and medhelp.org and Steven Wardell, Vice President of Marketing at Mednetworks, Inc.
Gaming is re-shaping the healthcare space as we know it – from academia to the way we consume personal health data. We are beginning to see a trend in marrying data with everyday products, allowing us to gather information seamlessly, without disrupting our lifestyle. With these advances in technology, we can actually make patients smarter. This is where it gets exciting. As patients become better armed with information through technology, we will see the patient/doctor relationship evolve into something more meaningful and efficient. Our goal for today's summit is to explore this new space, to discover new ways to effect change through personal technology and to play our part within this healthcare revolution.
Jul 27 2011: Hi Michael, for further insights into gaming and its potential for use in your field I recommend the following book that I am reading and loving.
Supercooperators : altruism, evolution, and why we need each other to succeed
Martin A. Nowak, with Roger Highfield.
Nowak is a mathematician working in the field of evolutionary biology and he studies game theory especially Prisoner's Dilema. He demondrates many applications.
Jul 28 2011: Thank you so much for the book suggestion, Debra. I'll have to pick this up and see what I can learn from it. I welcome any other book suggestions you might have.Jul 23 2011: How about improving also our healthcare systems. According to World Health Organization - Medical Errors and Health Care Related Infections (are) Causing Majority Deaths
Jul 25 2011: It is a passion of mine to call attention to medical errors and get back to the basics in medicine which can be as simple as washing one's hands. I am horrified to see doctors in the United States underestimate the importance of preventing germ contamination from one patient to another. The idea that we can save 100,000 lives a year by preventing hospital mistakes is one reason why I was trilled to join the board of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in Cambridge, MA. The Institute follows the passion of Dr. Don Berwick and the concept that we can improve the health care of people worldwide - sometimes with simple changes and sometimes by rebuilding health networks and systems.
Jul 27 2011: Hurrah for Nancy on this one. I actually started a thread to draw attention to this issue here on TED.Jul 22 2011: I think a lot of why people do not always get proper medical advice and treatment is because of the lack of knowledge for the common every day person. Only doctors and other specialist really understand the risks and causes of most serious diseases and whatnot, so getting screened for things like TB do not make it very high on an individual's "To-Do" list that day. Most people tend to take the "it won't happen to me" philosophy and use it to make up excuses to not get proper medical care. Many cases of serious disease and disorders do not get publicized very often expect for special cases, so it is only these special cases that make a scene to the rest of society and individuals subconsciously compare themselves with these people and realize they are very different people, meaning there is no connection between themselves and that disease/disorder. This is the wrong logic to use but it is used nonetheless. If people become more informed on probabilities of obtaining certain diseases and illnesses then I think it would draw more attention to screenings and precautionary measures.Jul 21 2011: I think (for people with health concerns) a big part of can be fear that something is wrong. Or fear (if you've already got health problems) that the next step is going to be too unpleasant...
I also think (for people without health concerns) that it isn't really an issue to them, so they don't bother.Jul 21 2011: I think that there are simple human based solutions that take the realities into consideration.
One, we need to simply have good scheduling and reminders. People are busy and people forget things that can be put off. If I worked for GE I would work to computerize doctors' offices and in exchange for good free software the doctors' patients would be put on an automatic alert and scheduling system that would go to their computer inboxes for yearly testing. It would be a positive step to confirm or reject the testing date and most people would accept and attend.
Less routine testing, like MRIs would be on an alert system too as soon as the doctor ordered the test, the patient would be coordinated with the provider with a date and time.
We would also need to reduce fear. Understanding just how fearful some of these issues can be especially when faced with a cold and impersonal system, is key. Why not supply information directly to the patient by the same computer programme to help them understand EXACTLY what is involved in the test. How often the test gives people a new lease on life by proving that they are fine and how the system will enable them to get the best help if there is something to work on.
In the face of the medical system most people feel powerless. Empowering through information is one great step forward.Jul 21 2011: Because it often leads to such a heart breaking issues.
The real question is how is government and medical community do not see that health is one need no human can bargain with ?
Putting price on medical products are putting price on human lives.
I'm sorry...
I know this doesn't help.Jul 20 2011: This is a difficult question.
We do our taxes because we know the taxman will come looking if we don't and the repurcussions are worse than just doing your taxes.
Whereas with your health, if you're getting screened for something, you think i'll probably not have it. With the Doctors you weigh up the probability of having some condition over the likelihood that you don't. Even if the likelihood is high that you will develop something due to being overweight, we still to continue to put off losing weight to reduce the risk mainly i think because you like eating and your exercise rate at the moment. There is a small chance that no health problems will be created and if they do, you'll deal with them then. There's the it won't be me chance as well as losing weight is too much like hard work.
I've had personal experience of knowing there was something but not going to the Doctors well its slightly more complicated. I injured my knee a year ago in the semi's of my club championships(doubles), played on and we won. i couldn't walk the morning after so went to A&E, diagnosed it as ligament and would heal fairly quickly so I decided to play in the final 3 days later, knowing if it was ligament, it wouldn't make it worse. A year later still having problems with it, private clinic said maybe cartilage, NHS keep saying ligament. At easter when it was particularly troubling, i resisted going to the GP again because I knew what was going to be said - "its ligament, go away".
What would have helped me - better diagnostics through better technology but at the end of the day - I'm not sure anything would have stopped me from playing that final. I wanted to play. Rational thoughts about health didn't come into it.
Jul 21 2011: Hi Nicola. I found the comments about your knee injury interesting. You are right that thinking about our health doesn't always enter our minds before we try to go for the gold medal – at least for us non-professional athletes. Diagnostics are an important part of medical treatment. If tests are inconclusive, it's frustrating for a patient to have to return to the doctor or visit more than one physician. Multiple appointments can also drive up costs. Although breakthroughs in technology are helping doctors do more for patients every day, one simple thing that patients can do when a diagnosis is conclusive is to follow their doctors recommendations – as simple as that sounds. According to government estimates, $100 billion of cost is incurred every year in the US due to preventable hospitalization, emergency room, and repeat physician visits. In that case, the specific driver is not taking medications properly. It wasn't so cut and dry in your case, though. The human body sometimes has a clock for healing that is independent of anything we might wish. I think we have all been there. Common sense, combined with an astute use of the web and finding a health care partner who will listen to you is the best medicine (and perhaps not trying to score every goal). Building on the web/data theme, I think it's fascinating today to see how much information is available to consumers about their health. Sites like MedHelp, Healthline and WebMD make medical information more accessible to the masses than ever before. Being so well armed helps patients – whether rural or urban, rich or poor – improve their awareness about the most cutting edge procedures and then ask their doctors more informed questions during appointments. You don't have to live near a top academic institution anymore to gather information about the best treatment paths for whatever ails you. This is promising.Jul 20 2011: Great questions, I like to imagine the the human brain works somewhat off a scale of importance. Everyone knows that if you dont do your taxes you'll have an IRS agent banging on your door and possibly take everything you own but if your doctor wants you to come in and get a prostate exam and you dont, its not like he's going to go and pound on your door to drag you into the doctors office.
it's a sad thought to think that people are more scared of the IRS than they are of dying. if the persons condition isn't physyicaly or mentally effecting them they are more prone to hold it off untill they are sick, weather or not they could have prevented it from occuring in the first place. out of sight out of mind.
On a near by reservation there are a large number of deaths caused by strokes and heartattacks and beacause of that they put up billboard signs listing the causes, symptons, and preventatives of strokes and heartattacks. that apparently has not only made people more aware of whats going on but also help drive the number of deaths down considerably.
To help make people aware and get screenings done I think that it more depends on the demographic your in, billboards may work for us in between our rural communities but TV commercials may be better in other places.

Preview | RecapOakhill on regional bubble with jump at Radford
Sunday, May 01, 2011JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 1, 2011) - Highlighting a brief stop in Radford, Va., for the Highlander Invitational this weekend, Leah Oakhill (Brisbane, Australia) threw her name into the regional hat with a top-48 mark in the high jump.
Oakhill took second place in the event as she cleared 5-06.75 (1.70m), leading the ETSU field athletes who made the trip. The mark is No. 48 in the region, right on the bubble for regionals this month.
"She will need to jump a few centimeters higher to make it in," said Assistant Coach Eli Sunquist, "but she is in a good place right now." Oakhill also got into the top ten in the shot put on Friday.
Also on the women's side, two jumpers made strong marks as Bethany Lender (Altoona, Pa.) won the triple jump with her leap of 39-06.75 (12.06m) and Scotti Sampair (Forest Lake, Minn.) finished fourth in both horizontal events, going for 17-00.00 (5.13m) in the long jump and 36-02.25 (11.03m) in the triple jump. Lili Allison (Oxford, Ala.) got into the top five in throws, throwing the hammer 155-10.00 (47.50m).
On the men's side, Jason Johnson (Springfield, Pa.) led the charge with a second-place triple jump of 48-00.00 (14.35m). Justin Burton (Bastian, Va.) had two third-place efforts including a personal best in the hammer, 157-05.00 (47.98m), and a 47-05.75 (14.47m) shot put. Two Bucs finished in the top five in the javelin throw, but Matt Baum's (Middletown, Md.) 183-00.00 (55.78m) heave fell short of a new facility record by independent thrower Roald Bradstock. Sophomore Sam Liska (Cookeville, Tenn.) posted a fourth-place 169-00.75 (51.53m).
ETSU heads to Clemson, S.C., next Friday and Saturday for the Orange and Purple Classic, the final chance to notch qualifying marks for the NCAA regional meet in Bloomington, Ind., May 27.

Part of President Obama's daily briefing must include the report of the number of "suspected militants" killed by his drones. That is, it would be part of the briefing but he reportedly doesn't count the casualties.
In the pre-dawn hours Thursday Hellfire missiles fired from a U.S. drone turned a farmhouse in rural Yemen into a smoldering heap of charred wood that served as a bier for at least eight of those "suspected militants."
For President Obama and those pulling the triggers on the joysticks guiding the missiles toward their human targets, "suspected militant" means (presumably) "all military-age males in a strike zone." For those of us more concerned with the Constitution and with the rule of law than the president, "suspected militant" means nothing other than a person not charged with any crime, not afforded even the most perfunctory due process protections, but summarily executed upon order of the president anyway.
The president's lexicon is apparently shared by some of his functionaries, as well. Harold Koh was sent by the president to make a pitch to the United Nations for the United States to maintain its seat on the UN's Human Rights Council (HRC). During a brief question and answer period after Koh's presentation, a reporter from Inner City Press asked Koh if the United States would use its position on the HRC to investigate the use of drones in executions. Koh's answer was faithful to the party line:
He said that killings by drone "in the course of armed conflict or in self defense is consistent with international law." He cited Al Qaeda, the Taliban and "associated forces" — presumably including Al Shabab in Somalia and forces in norther Mali or Azawad — and said it is "not illegal to target an individual who is leader of an opposing force."
Was Abdulrahman al-Awlaki a "leader of an opposing force"? No. He was a 16-year-old American citizen searching for his father in Yemen. He and some relatives with whom he was eating supper were killed nonetheless by a U.S. drone. Presumably that's because his cousins were old enough to be considered by the president terrorists by default.

John Matarese looks into Apple's missing school promotion
New Mac operating system, OS X Mountain Lion coming July 25?
Some Apple Store employees have been told to plan an all-nighter for July 24, leading to speculation that the company's new Mac operating system, OS X Mountain Lion, will be released the next day.
Multiple Apple workers have confirmed that some staffers have been asked to work overnight that night, according to 9to5 Mac, a site that focuses on Apple news.
Mountain Lion is expected to hit stores this month, so the obvious speculation has moved in that direction.
Also, Apple's quarterly earnings report is scheduled for the 24th. Last year, the current Mac system, Lion, was announced during a July earnings report and released the next day.
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion will be available to Mac users as a $19.99 upgrade to their current operating system.
At its WWDC developers conference last month in San Francisco, Apple said that Mountain Lion will have 200 new features.
They'll include iMessages, the texting feature already available on mobile devices, speech-to-text dictation and predictive "smart search" in the Safari browser.
The new Mountain Lion system also adds something called Power Nap, a feature that keeps your laptop up to date while it sleeps by automatically refreshing mail, contacts and other apps.
Game Center will be another adaptation coming from the mobile iOS system, giving gamers a central place to find games and opponents -- a stab by Apple at gaining relevance in a desktop gaming space that is still dominated by Microsoft with its Xbox Live network.
Developers already were given a final trial version of Mountain Lion, the so-called "gold master," at last month's conference.
Apple's transitioning of some mobile features to its desktop system suggests that the company is at least mindful of Microsoft's aggressive move to create a seamless experience between smartphones, tablets and desktops.
Microsoft's Windows 8 system, planned for later this year, is designed to work with touchscreen devices as well as on laptops and desktops. The computing giant has struggled in the mobile space, particularly with tablets, but early reviews suggest the new system will mark Redmond's most serious challenge yet to Apple's dominance.

This story was updated at 12:45 p.m. June 26, 2013. This story was corrected on July 1, 2013. An explanation follows the story.
The body of the 19-year-old Takoma Park man who went missing in the waters of the Potomac River on Monday has been found, Montgomery County police say.
"Today, following an extended joint operation, Montgomery County Fire & Rescue recovered the victim's body in the water at approximately 9:15 a.m. Montgomery County Police search and rescue officers were on scene during these recovery efforts. The victim was pronounced deceased at the scene," police said, in a statement.
Fire officials have not yet announced that they recovered the body.
On Monday, Ngo Forchick of Takoma Park went missing in the Potomac while swimming with friends near Purple Horse Beach along the Billy Goat Trail in the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park in Bethesda.
Several teens were swimming in the Potomac River and one, Ngo, was not able to get back to shore, Graham said. The man's friends tried to rescue him several times but couldn't, he said.
Fire and rescue crews searched the river Monday in boats and with the help of helicopters. They had to call off the search around 5 p.m. while storms rolled through the area. The search continued Tuesday morning in what Graham called a "recovery mode" but was called off around 10 a.m., according to Graham.
That day, family members and friends gathered while rescue personnel searched for his body. The group of almost 50 people sang and prayed and waited for another few hours before leaving for home.
Forchick came to the United States from Cameroon in 2006 when he was 12 years old, according to his sister, Marceline Fon, 21. He was the second of four children of Dorothy Fongum and Peter Forchick. He attended Takoma Park Middle School and graduated from Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring in 2012. For the past year he has attended Prince George's Community College, studying criminal justice, his mother said.
"He told me that he wanted to go into the Army but I said no, I did not want him away from me," Fongum said. "So he decided to study criminal justice. He was very obedient and hard working."
Patricia Mukum, a friend of the family, said the people at the river were members of the local Cameroon community.
"Our tradition tells us to go to the spot where he was lost," she said. "We rely on the experts for the rescue, we are not used to water, we do not swim."
Mukum said Ngo did not know how to swim and the family does not know why he left the house and came so far. She said they are hoping to talk to the friends he was with so they can tell what happened but they do not know the kids he was with.
"We are just saying what the friends reported to the police," she said.
Fon said it was very unusual for her brother to leave the house without saying where he was going.
"Even sometimes when it didn't matter, he would tell you," she said.
Accidents in that section of the river have happened before; on June 24, 2009, Fire and Rescue officials found the body of a young man who had gone swimming in the river there when camping with family.
An earlier version of this story had Ngo Forchick's first and last names reversed.

Herndon police have identified a man's body that was found Saturday.
Police said that shortly after 11 a.m,, a Herndon resident was walking their dog on the 700 block of Tamarack Way when they discovered the body.
On Monday, police identified the man as 33-year-old Tory J. Marshall of Herndon.
Police said a preliminary investigation revealed that Marshall died of hypothermia.
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday's low overnight temperature was 18 degrees.
Police said that the investigation revealed that alcohol may have also been a factor, according to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
Marshall worked as a sales manager for Dell Computers at Isaac Newton Square in Reston, according to a spokesperson there. He also recently worked for Cogent Communications in Herndon, according to the company's headquarters in Washington.
According to his Facebook page, Marshall was a 2003 graduate of Morgan State University in Baltimore, Md, and was originally from North Brunswick, N.J. An outpouring of condolences have been posted by friends and acquaintences there.

The defending Maryland Class 3A/2A/1A state champion Poolesville High School boys and the Sherwood High girls swimming and diving teams kicked off the four-week championship season with wins at Saturday's Montgomery Division II competition held at the Martin Luther King Jr. Swim Center.
The Falcons boys finished with 437 points, ahead of Bethesda-Chevy Chase in second place with 390 points. Quince Orchard (352 points), Northwest (324.5) and Sherwood (245) rounded out the top five.
Sherwood's girls dominated the six-team field Saturday. The Warriors finished with 513.5 points and were followed by Poolesville (369) and B-CC (368) in second and third.
"We got some really good freshmen this year and a lot of good swimmers back so we're even stronger this year than we were last year. A lot of the girls dropped some time today and finished their races well. We're excited to move on and see what we can do [at next weekend's Washington Metropolitan Interscholastic Swimming and Diving Championships] and states," Sherwood coach Brendan Lees.
Poolesville's boys and the Warriors girls took different paths to Saturday's titles.
The top 16 finishers in each event earned points in decreasing amounts; each team was allowed three entries per race.
The Falcons only won three of 12 events Saturday but finished all three swimmers in the top 10 of eight of nine individual events.
While the Warriors have depth as well, they are also propelled by a core of incredibly fast swimmers. Sherwood won eight events Saturday, including all three relays, which are worth double the points. The Warriors also finished three in the top 10 of eight events and two in the top three of two races.
"It's an awesome problem to have to figure out how you're going to put a lineup together when you have four people who can qualify for Metros in a given event. It's the best problem to have," Poolesville coach Johnny Leong said.
While there are technically six teams considered to be better than Saturday's six-team field — the ones in the county's top division — the Division II meet featured a plethora of athletes who will be major championship season contenders.
Sherwood's Anna Kolanowski and Poolesville's Diana Hanson were among the top 12 individual scorers at last winter's Metros competition; a number of Saturday's top performers finaled and earned top-10 finishes at the prestigious competition last year.
"We have a lot of great swimmers in this division, maybe just the depth isn't there for every team," Lees said.
Added Leong: "There are a lot of metros qualifiers and finalists here. There is not just one top team in the county that runs away with it, you have maybe 10. Even Division III and Division IV are not without finalists. You can't sleep on those teams. I'm going to say Division II is very competitive."
Kolanowski (100-yard freestyle, 200-yard freestyle) and teammate Megan Conrad (50-yard freestyle, 100-yard backstroke) and Hanson (200-yard individual medley, 100-yard breaststroke) were the meet's only double individual event winners.
Kolanowski and Conrad were also on two of the Sherwood's three winning relays, the 200-yard and 400-yard freestyle relays.
"[The girls] placed really well. We have a couple great swimmers getting first place finishes and we get a lot of points that way and with the relays. Getting those points really helps," Lees said.
