Partner Forum: MLR is Important. What Drives it?
Michael Golub, MD, FACP
Chief medical officer, Digitas Health LifeBrands
Human consciousness is linear. Accordingly, it is natural to try to prioritize key considerations when analyzing decision-making processes. But for certain complex undertakings, such as pharmaceutical marketing, it is necessary to simultaneously balance many competing priorities. Great creative or regulatory compliance? Yes! Innovative use communications technologies or compliance? Both! Here's why: Pharmaceutical marketing is one of the most tightly regulated forms of communication. Brilliant marketing not thoroughly infused with regulatory awareness is not brilliant. We cannot relegate compliance to a final stage of campaign launch planning. Every step must be informed by the ultimate requirement of regulatory compliance. Otherwise, we are wasting precious time.
Andy Bender
President and founder, Polaris
From a compliance perspective, the process starts with a methodology allowing the company to prioritize risks. This allows the company to focus on the risk reward profile of each risk type that optimizes the value of the company and investment made. The methodology typically consists of elements that define risks. The elements typically fall into different categories, like activity type, audience, value of the activity (dollar amount), process, procedures, past audits, etc. To measure the risk and compare or rank the risks, we assign relative values to each of the elements (1 or low to 5 high), and add these up. Some of the elements can be weighted to have a more prominent representation in the overall risk score. The risk scores allow us to rank or prioritize the activities, and help us determine which are risky.
Angela Tenuta
Executive vice president, Intouch Solutions Chicago
This issue is vast and multifaceted. The sheer variation and volume of projects pouring into the MLR funnel are mind-boggling. Our clients currently use an array of solutions including priority scoring, ROI estimating and mandatory turnaround times. But I would like to propose this is not a priority problem so much as it is a volume problem. And clients can learn from their agencies when it comes to managing volume. Implement annual onboarding and basic work forecasting. Hold regular resource scrum meetings. Demand timelines and estimates for all projects, and stick to them. Deploy talented resource managers and give them the tools and support to do their job. Finally, have a "decider"—the one person who shuts down debating, flags top priorities and kills low priorities.
Steven Michaelson
CEO, calcium, a Star Group company
It's important to consider multiple factors, including which initiatives are expected to drive business growth and which tactics have a critical path to market. In order to be a hot priority, they should rank high on both criteria. Once deemed a priority item, several things can help expedite the process. Mitigating the level of risk is a critical discussion to have at the outset. Time spent up front to communicate early about conceptual ideas pays off in the end by gaining buy-in and discussing "watch-outs" out of the gate. Preplanning several months out and having a long-term calendar view is also helpful and can be adapted as you go.

Managing the flood of materials for MLR review can prove challenging but there are key criteria that can help. Start by prioritizing the materials in the queue, submitting those with the highest business need first, regardless of whether you expect the review process to be straightforward or complicated. If you have multiple pieces that are difficult to prioritize, consider three scenarios: If the pieces are related, submit the anchor piece for MLR review. Feedback on that piece can be then applied to ancillary pieces before they are submitted to reduce the requisite amount of rework. For example, submit the brand website and then reflect the feedback from the MLR team in the associated digital assets before they are submitted. But if the pieces need to launch at the same time and are not necessarily dependent on one another, sequence the submissions so that the pieces that have the longest production time (post-MLR approval) are submitted earliest. For example, be sure that a print brochure (one that will need to go to print and be distributed after MLR approval) or ads (that will need time to be trafficked after MLR approval) are submitted before assets such as a downloadable Doctor Discussion Guide, which can go live shortly after approval. Or, if pieces are not related and the goal is to launch them individually as quickly as possible, sequence the submissions so that those pieces that can be approved quickly are submitted earliest. That way you will be able to launch some pieces while others are being approved. Above all, work closely with your MLR team to help plan and manage the process. Alignment between brand (with assistance from their agency, as needed) and MLR teams is critical for effective collaboration. Advance cloud-based technologies that allow for easy content sharing between stakeholders enable this level of collaboration to streamline the review and approval process across the board.

I'd definitely pay the extra bucks for this model, over the zoomless D-100. At the same time, I'd encourage shoppers to pay a little more for the D-510Z, which has more features, 2.1 Megapixel resolution, and movie modes. Either way, it's not a bad deal."

How can you become lucid in dreams?
For some, it is instinctive. For others, it's utterly elusive.
It honestly depends on a few variables:
- Your consciousness of your dreams. Would you make the effort to remember your dreams? Should you write them down, talk about them, or interpret them? This familiarity with your dreams while alert will enhance your total comprehension of them while they happen, which helps greatly in becoming lucid.
- Your self-awareness while alert. Do you ever stop what you are doing and merely reflect on the minute? It means being and just forgetting about the stuff outside your immediate experience. Seeing, hearing, sensing the way things are, without distorting or ignoring any facets or becoming lost in complex thoughts. This really is one means to improve your self-awareness while you're not asleep – and doing something similar in a dream contributes to lucidity.
- Motivation and want are critical factors in your ability to educate yourself lucid dreaming. The longer you want it, the more you feel in your bones for it, the more your unconscious is penetrated by the idea – and you know that stuff is what directs and drives your dreams. So by sowing the seeds of lucidity unconsciously, through want, they will grow into a dream life that is graphic and lucid.
Pros agree that learning lucid dreaming is a skill that is untapped but learning how to lucid dream tonight is something that everyone can learn eventually.
I believed it would be helpful to define how I typically become lucid in dreams, to help stop you from giving up before you have even begun.
Here are five distinct ways to have lucid dreams. Some of these strategies are more likely to occur than others. Nevertheless, with experience, you'll learn to use all of them as entries to your own dream world that is lucid.
Lucid Dreaming Tutorials
Most people don't know lucid dreaming is a skill anyone can learn. To start lucid dreaming tonight, check out The Lucid Dreaming Fast Track, a tutorial-based course that is interactive and fully illustrated.
#1 – Spontaneous Awareness
This can be the most common sort of lucid dream. In fact, surveys suggest that it happens by injury to most folks at least once within their lives. You'll be daydreaming away, dipping in Willy Wonka's chocolate river (not a euphemism) when you will have the abrupt realization: "I am dreaming!"
This may happen in the most vivid dream, because your dream became not so usual, or your nightmare became so atrocious, that your conscious comprehension kicked in with a rebuttal.
Officially it's referred to as a Dream Induced Lucid Dream (DILD), the most common way people become lucid in dreams.
You can raise your chances of having a DILD by practicing self-awareness techniques during the waking day.

2 – In-Dream Characters
Studies into lucid dreaming suggest that dream characters are part of your brain that is unconscious.
This indicates we can plan dream characters to hint at us that we are dreaming. This way, your unconscious mind creates the dream recognition in a more poetic manner.
I once dreamed of giving a lecture on lucid dreaming, but this failed to activate my self-awareness (hey, it happens). At the conclusion of the chat, a psychology professor came up to me and said "Let us try some lucid dreaming now."
This time, it worked. The dream character tripped my conscious self-awareness, and I became lucid.
#3 – Themes While Dreaming
Another way is called dream incubation.
Plan your dreams in advance by visualizing and pre-meditating dream topics like tea with Richard Dawkins, a giant waterslide, or a zombie apocalypse. At precisely the same time, think: "I will learn how to lucid dream tonight."
Occasionally, you'll discover you begin before sleeping dreaming about the exact same theme you'd in mind.
This really is precisely how nightmares are begotten by horror movies. Daydreams and your waking encounters make this impression they reappear in your dreams the exact same night.
Because you've connected this theme with becoming lucid, it is a lot easier to trigger spontaneous in-dream lucidity.

Then something clicked within my mind. They were reassembled by the letters into a word I could read: LUCID.
BOOM! My lucid dream began.

#4 – Check Your Surroundings (and Your Reality!)
This strategy is great for your first lucid dream and is widely seen as one of the lucid dreaming techniques that are the simplest.
Reality checks plan greater consciousness through repetition, therefore creating habitual lucidity.
A reality check just means striving to do something impossible in the real world – like pushing your fingers. When you are doing this during the day, naturally, nothing special may happen.
In the bizarre dream world, your fingers will slip through the your hand (particularly if you anticipate it to happen) giving you the chance to to become lucid.
Your reality check must always follow with: "Am I dreaming?" This cements the mindset and your aim of apprehending the dream.

#5 – WILDs – Wake Induced Lucid Dreams
The more you improve your meditation and self-awareness abilities, the easier it's to have your first Wake Induced Lucid Dream (WILD).
Unlike the methods described above, with WILDs your waking conscious mind can walk into a sleeping lucid dream situation.
It's not unheard of for older lucid dreamers now in adulthood to have developed their own variant of the CRAZY technique as youngsters. It becomes easy as pie, and they become lucid in dreams of nature that is fantastical every evening.
Yet, it does not come naturally to everyone, and achieving your first WILD can not be easy at first. Finally, it is a matter of practice and patience.

(shir ha-ma`aloth; Septuagint ode ton anabathmon; Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible, 390-405 A.D.) canticum graduum, the Revised Version (British and American) "a song of ascents"): The title prefixed to 15 psalms (Pss 120-134) as to the significance of which there are four views:

(odai pneumatikai): ode, English "ode," is the general, and generic word for "song," of which "psalms and hymns" are specific varieties (Ephesians 5:19 Colossians 3:16). It includes all lyric poetry, but is limited by the word "spiritual" to songs inspired by the Holy Spirit and employed in the joyful and devotional expression of the spiritual life. While songs, like psalms and hymns, were used in public worship and praise, they were more intended for, and suited to, personal and private and social use; as, e.g. in family worship, at meals, in the agapai ("love-feasts"), in meetings for prayer and religious intercourse from house to house. The passages above cited give apostolic authority for the use of other than the Old Testament psalms in public praise, and rebuke the narrowness and unbelief that would forever limit the operations of the Holy Spirit and the hymnology of the church to the narrow compass of the Davidic era and the Davidic school of poetry and song.

In 2009, Ford brought its new supermini, the Fiesta, over from Europe in a brave attempt to attract the attention of young Americans. It passed out 100 of the cars to influential bloggers for a free six-month test-drive, with just one condition: document your experience online, whether you love the Fiesta or hate it.
Young bloggers loved the car. Young drivers? Not so much. After a brief burst of excitement, in which Ford sold more than 90,000 units over 18 months, Fiesta sales plummeted. As of April 2012, they were down 30 percent from 2011.

Monday in an appearance on CNN's "New Day," after dismissing the importance of any questions about her email arrangement while secretary of state, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton pointed to what she wants to get done as president and asked people to "hold her accountable."
"I know how you get things done. I am a progressive who wants to make progress and actually produce real results in people's lives. That's what I'm offering. I'm not overpromising. I'm laying out the plans that I have. I'm asking people to look at them and I'm asking people to hold me accountable. Because I want to get back to working together to try to unite this country to make it possible for us to set big goals and achieve them. That's what I intend to do. "

Today I have the great pleasure to welcome author Liz Meldon on Cookie Break, for a chat about her upcoming novel – and sequel in the Games we Play duology – The King!
Liz is a Canadian author who grew up in the Middle East. She has a degree in Bioarchaeology from Western University, and when she isn't writing about her own snarky characters, she is ghostwriting romance novellas, loitering on social media, or taking care of her many animals.
As a freelance ghostwriter, she has written over a dozen books ranging from romance to horror, full-length to novella-sized. A handful are currently on the market, and she stalks their "authors" with fiendish delight. She loves writing realistic characters in fantastical settings.
Her newest novel, The King, will be out in November, so add it to your tbr lists now!
Welcome to Cookie Break, Liz! Congratulations on being so close to publishing The King. I appreciate you taking the time to stop by, despite how busy you no doubt are!
Could you tell us a little about your book? No spoilers, please! 😉
Absolutely! The King is the first full-length book in the Games We Play duology. The Fool, its prologue, was published last December. The King and the rest of the works in the Games We Play duology centers around vampire hunter Delia Roberts. She's a mid-level hunter at the League in the small city of Harriswood, and she's not exactly happy there. It's a lot of monotonous routine these days: surveillance, patrols, driving the van while the other hunters do the vamp arresting. She's sort of stuck in the only job she's ever liked and tried at, and now she's not sure whether she should really even be a hunter. Her aunt was once a famous hunter on the west coast, and these days, no matter how hard she tries, Delia isn't exactly following in her footsteps—and it's beyond frustrating.
Meanwhile, in The Fool, she met a gorgeous masked man who turned out to be a warm-bodied vampire—Claude Grimm to be specific, a Harriswood vampire clan leader. In The King, Claude is determined to follow-up on the connection they had when they first met at the masquerade, though Delia fears what their budding romance could mean for her and the job that she's always thought was her life's purpose. She fights her feelings for a long time, despite knowing, deep down, she's been smitten and denying it from the night they met.
At the same time, the Donovan vampire clan is acting out violently against the other vampire clans, forcing the League to create a tentative truce with the other vampires in Harriswood—the first time in local history, a both dangerous and unprecedented shift that will change them all forever.
Would you mind sharing an excerpt with us, or a favourite quote?
A brief excerpt from a scene where Delia finally accepts Claude's offer to help improve her hand-to-hand combat skills:
"Seconds later the line was dead, and she tossed her phone aside like it scalded her. Unable to shake her steadily growing grin, Delia hopped up, energized for the first time all day, and went to tidy her disastrous kitchen.
Not because she wanted to do the dishes or scrub the grease stains off the backsplash, but because if she didn't move, the high she felt after a mere two-minute conversation with Claude Grimm would utterly consume her.
And she wasn't ready to be consumed.
Not yet."
Do you remember what sparked the idea for The King?
I initially wrote The Fool with the intention of it being a part of my Erotic Short Shorts series. It was meant to be 8-10K—just a smutty story about a vampire hunter making mistakes and falling for a vampire. As I wrote it, however, it suddenly became so much more. I saw this whole universe unfolding, and I really wanted to pursue a romance between these two characters.
At the same time, I wanted to explore writing a character like Delia. She feels authentic to me: someone who wants to be good at a job they think they were destined for, but finds they're kind of just coasting. I mention quarter-life crisis a lot, which I think a lot of people poke fun at, but it feels very real to me and a lot of people my age. You have these expectations in life: high school, college, job, adult. And it's not really happening as easily as it once was. Psychologically, when you create certain expectations that aren't met repeatedly, you start to break down a little. Delia is my exploration of that.
What are you working on right now?
I'm currently doing all the intense work that comes with self-publishing a book: creating graphics, scheduling posts, proofing, getting the paperback and ebook versions formatted. On the writing front, I'm working on an erotic short story called Bliss, which I'm hoping to complete and publish soon to add to my Erotic Short Shorts series.
What draws you to the genre you write in? Have you always been drawn to it?
I've always been interested in the paranormal, but what I love the most about paranormal romance is tackling very real, human issues (love, relationships, sex, character growth) with creatures who are decidedly very not-human. That in itself is my favourite thing to work through, especially with my Lovers and Liars serial. It focuses on Loki and Aphrodite (and other old world gods) trying to survive in the modern day—and we see that they are very human in their strengths and their flaws, which I enjoy.
Also love. I don't know why I'm drawn to it. I'm very cynical, particularly about fictional romances, but I just adore writing about two people finding their other half.
Who/what is your writing inspiration?
I always say the book I'm reading right now is my inspiration. Books that fuel me to work on my own stuff are ones that I regard very highly. Music is also hugely inspirational—I plot most, if not all, my books while I'm on a walk listening to my iPod.
What do you do if inspiration just won't come?
I work on another project if inspiration won't come for something I'm working on in the moment. Doing something creative is bound to spark more creativity, so I just try to keep working and hope it'll come back to me eventually.
Which part of the writing process is your favourite, and which part do you dread?
I love the plotting process and absolutely dread the revision stages.
What is your number one distraction?
Twitter. It's awful, but I get totally sucked into it. Bad Liz. Bad!
Are you a plotter or a pantser?
Plotter FOR SURE. I plot the general story in a notebook. Then I plot chapter by chapter. Then I take that outline and plot MORE intensely before I begin writing said chapter.
Tea or coffee?
Neither. I'd take tea over coffee though.
What are the most important three things you've learned about writing, editing or publishing (or all of the above!) since you started your journey?
That you have to sit down and write. You can't always wait for the muse to bless you with inspiration or the will to create. Writing is a job like any other, and some days you really just have to put the hard work in, tough as it is. Editing is a huge part of the writing process, and you have to not be scared to slash away and rework things. Also, you need a professional editor and proofreader. You can't be a one-man band, especially when you're gearing up to self-publish.
What's your favourite quote on writing?
"Every writer I know has trouble writing."
– Joseph Heller
What is the best piece of advice you've received?
Remember the good reviews in just as much detail as you remember the bad ones.
Where else can we connect with you?
You can reach me on:
Thank you so much, Liz, for stopping by! I'm very excited for the release of The King, and have already popped your books onto my tbr list! 🙂 Don't forget, The King is out next month but you can already find her novels and start reading on Goodreads and Amazon now! 😉

September is a wonderful gardening month. The last of the summer vegetables are ripe and ready for eating or preserving, apples are at their peak in many places, and it time to clean up and prepare for next spring. The days are bright and mornings can be crisp. In more moderate climes, summer stretches yet a bit longer but autumn is in the air.
Once plants have started to peter out, it's time to pull spent annuals and vegetables. If you've had no significant plant problems like bugs or fungus, add them to the compost pile. If you have had problems, don't compost. Burn if you can, otherwise trash them.
Cut out dead shoots on roses. Destroy leaves with evidence of mildew or blackspot to diminish the probability of a recurrence in the spring. And stop feeding your roses. They need to prepare to go dormant.
September and October are the best months for planting spring bulbs. Decide where your bulb beds will be, then build them up with fresh compost. Beds should be deeply dug and well drained.
Also, now is a good time to prepare bulbs for indoor forcing. Fill clean, dry pots with fresh soil. You can leave them outside in a protected area and cover them with straw or leaves. In a month or so, after root development has had a chance to occur, you can store them in a basement or garage and gradually expose them to light and heat. They should begin to show signs of life in December.
Begonias will live happily inside throughout the winter. Next spring, you can create many new plants.
Prepare for next year's perennial vegetables now.
Annual vegies need attention now too. Where an early frost is typical, pull up tomato vines and hang indoors. The sap will be sufficient to ripen fruits. Half ripe tomatoes will ripen indoors on the counter. Green tomatoes can be turned into jam or chutney. Harvest onions before they resprout. Squash should be picked before frost. Root vegetables like beets and carrots, pulled before the first heavy frost, will do well stored in sand in the garage or basement.
September is prime time for transplanting both large and small perennials.
Prepare clean pots and fill with fresh soil, then transplant tender perennials like lemon verbena, geranium, and bay laurel so they can be overwintered in the house or on a sun porch. If weather isn't freezing they can go outside on milder days.

Report: Spurs 5-1 Chelsea
English League Cup
It was billed as the chance to end 12 years of hurt and it was grasped emphatically in one of the most electric nights seen at the Lane in years.
Trailing 2-1 from the first leg, we grasped the Blues by the horns and on a wave of euphoria, swept them away to book a place in the Worthington Cup Final against Blackburn Rovers on February 24.
Goals from Tim Sherwood, Teddy Sheringham, Simon Davies and Sergei Rebrov after Steffen Iversen handed us the perfect start inside two minutes ensured the blue and white army can start plotting their way to Cardiff.
Throw in Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's sending off, more than a few meaty challenges and some sublime football and it was just about the perfect night.
All that after we had to reshuffle plans with Les Ferdinand failing to recover from his head injury against Everton. Steffen Iversen, his replacement at half-time on Saturday, started alongside Teddy Sheringham.
Ledley King and Gus Poyet, both rested at the weekend, came back in for cup-tied Dean Richards and Oyvind Leonhardsen respectively. Gavin Kelly remained on the bench for absent Kasey Keller.
A good start was vital but it was even better than we dared dream.
With just two minutes on the clock, King punched a pass towards Sheringham who dummied, looking for Iversen. The ball ran behind Iversen but fell at the onrushing Taricco's feet. His low shot from eights yards was saved superbly by Cudicini but as his defence dallied, Iversen nipped into poke the ball home from six yards.
Chelsea were forced into a change with only 11 minutes on the clock when Zenden was stretchered off after a 50-50 challenge with Sheringham. Dalla Bona replaced the Dutch winger.
Dalla Bona almost diverted the ball into his net from Anderton's wicked inswinging corner after 13 minutes and the same source saw Iversen and Poyet narrowly fail to make contact seven minutes later.
Hasselbaink began to see more of the ball but there was always a white shirt there to block, be it Taricco from his stinging free-kick, Sullivan's fist from a dangerous corner or King as Gudjohnsen broke into the box.
Poyet then forced Cudicini to tip his instinctive half-volley over and the second goal followed directly from the corner. Anderton aimed his kick low towards the penalty spot and Sherwood flashed in an unstoppable shot from 12 yards.
If the first half started like a dream, the second was beyond our wildest dreams.
Only four minutes had passed when Sheringham fired home the goal of the season.
Anderton crossed from the left, Poyet chested down into the skipper's path and Sheringham unleashed a ferocious volley into the top corner from 20 yards. It had echoes of his FA Cup goal at Anfield back in 1995 and was just as significant.
Even more significant, in terms of the match, was the incident that followed five minutes later. Sullivan claimed a high ball under intense pressure from Hasselbaink, push and shove followed in the area and the striker, so often the thorn in our side, was sent off by Mark Halsey.
It took a while for the teams to come to terms with the red card but as far as chances were concerned, it was one-way traffic. Poyet volleyed over from 12 yards after 66 minutes, Davies forced a low save from Cudicini and Iversen headed over when well placed.
A couple of potential breakaways didn't happen but you sensed a fourth goal was coming and it arrived after 75 minutes. Anderton spread the ball wide to Davies who drove into the box and drilled the ball in off the foot of the post. The fans were delirious.
Rebrov and Leonhardsen replaced Iversen and Poyet and soon combined for the fifth goal. Sheringham threaded a pass through to Leonharden who crossed instantly for Rebrov's to clip home from six yards.
Forsell restored some pride for Chelsea with a reply in the 90th minute but this was all about Spurs.

Science World lands in cow country and it's udderly amazing
Science World's first location outside Vancouver uses its trademark technical wizardry to get youngsters excited about where their milk comes from and, possibly, a career in farming.
Abbotsford's cutting-edge EcoDairy is home to a new installation of interactive games and displays, which opened Thursday and puts a decidedly glossy high-tech veneer on agriculture. Robotic milking machines and groomers that the cows operate themselves look a good deal sexier than 5 a.m. trips to the barn seven days a week for the rest of your natural life.
Science World is in Fraser Valley doing what it has always done well: revealing the science and technology that underpin everyday life.
Displays and games are decidedly lowbrow — think squeeze bottles full of farm smells and a match the poop to the animal game — in a way that is irresistible to kids. They were as eager to try milking a synthetic cow as they were to meet the real thing, a couple of dozen contented dairy cows that line up to be scratched between the ears and try to lick your arm if you are distracted.
"When the EcoDairy was founded four years ago, we wanted it to be a place where people could come experience farming in the 21st century," said dairy co-owner Bill Vanderkooi. "We just lacked the resources and the magic. And the magic is something that Science World does so well."
"I'm a bit of a science geek," he added. "I always had a passion to show people where milk comes from, how it's produced and about healthy food and the science and technology behind it."
Self-guided tours, displays and games geared to engage school-aged children explain many of the processes and technology used by the dairy, including the anaerobic digester that converts manure to biogas that is burned in a generator that powers the barn.
"I know that people associate Science World with the big, shiny dome in Vancouver and we welcome that, but we are a provincial organization with a provincial mandate," said Science World president and CEO Bryan Tisdall. "The EcoDairy has given us our first opportunity to get out of the dome and into the rest of the province."
"We are here to talk about the science that matters in people's lives and what matters more than agriculture in the Fraser Valley," said Tisdall. "Science and agriculture are very closely entwined, so this is a great opportunity to show that in a way that kids will really engage with."
Science World plans to pursue new partnerships with organizations in every corner of the province, he said.

Shoygu: U.S. plans to conduct relations with Russia from a position of strength are futile
Attempts to establish relations with Russia from a position of power are futile, Russian Minister of Defense Sergey Shoygu said on February 16. Currently, he added, Moscow is ready to restore cooperation with the Pentagon.
Shoygu's comments come in reply to those made by new US Secretary of Defense James Mattis. " We remain open to the possibility of restoring cooperation with Moscow. At the same time we are realistic in our expectations and will make every effort for our diplomats to conduct negotiations [with Russia] from a position of strength," Mattis said at a NATO defense ministerial meeting in Brussels …read more

Earthquake Shakes Southern California: Celebs Tweet Reactions
The 5.1 magnitude earthquake was centered in La Habra near Los Angeles and rolled through Southern California.
The strong earthquake was felt widely across the region shortly after 9 p.m. PT. The USGS (United States Geological Survey) said the epicenter was one mile from Brea, which is located about 20 miles southeast of downtown L.A.
Southern California Edison reported power outages to nearly 2,000 customers following the quake.
This is the second earthquake to strike L.A. this month. On March 17, a 4.7 magnitude quake shook L.A. and celebs had similar reactions. That rumble spread out about five miles from its epicenter and about six miles outside of Beverly Hills.
Tell us what you thought of this latest quake HollywoodLifers. Do you think there are bigger ones to come?

Port-au-Prince exudes a small town feel even though it has more than one million inhabitants and it's by far the largest city of the country. However, the city is notorious for its high crime rate with kidnappings, and frequent exchanges of fire between police and United Nations troops or criminal gangs. But with some caution and understanding of the situation, it is a beautiful region to be explored and its people, you will wind, are some of the friendliest and liveliest of all, not to mention the most colorful.
The country's chief exports are mainly coffee and sugar. It was founded in 1749 by French sugar planters. The region has tropical climate with high humidity. There is intermittent rain throughout the year but through the months of June to October, it can get quite wet and hurricanes can also be expected. Hill resorts are a good option to stay at since they are much cooler.]]>
The second-largest city in Canada and the largest city in the province of Quebec was originally called Ville-Marie (Mary's City) and came to be known as Montreal only by the end of the 17th century. The name is derived from Mount Royal, the three-head hill at the heart of the city.]]>

Now you can cuddle at home with the cutest life-size seal pillow you've ever seen
You have to admit, despite the slippery and slimy-looking texture of its skin, a seal looks like its just about the most cuddly animal alive. So it makes perfect sense that Japan's premiere online brand specializing in cute and amusing products would come out with a very special seal pillow case that lets you come home to a plump, smiling seal waiting to be held.
This special pillow case does way more than just look cute. Designed specifically for use in the summer, the material is made out of an elastic soft polyester, which not only keeps it feeling cool, but also allows for maximum storage of your winter blankets and whatever else you don't need for the hot season. The seal is 149 centimeters tall and 72 centimeters wide, so depending on what you store inside it, it can get pretty large and cushiony - perfect for a nighttime companion for anyone who's single. So besides being the cutest pillow cover around, it also serves as a very useful storage of sorts! But because of its high quality and attention to detail, this adorable seal from Felissimo's YOU+MORE! label will set you back 8900 yen, which is about 81 US dollars, and is available only for a limited time until July 19th.
If baby seals are more your thing (and your budget), they are available as well for only 2200 yen, or about 20 US dollars. They were made to resemble two-week-old baby seals, with four different types of lovable expressions. They are only 43.5 centimeters tall and 28 centimeters wide, so they won't fit much, but they can become the cutest pillows. Unlike the adult seals, the babies will be available for purchase until August.
Unfortunately, Fellisimo's website offers options for foreign residents, but that section of their website is currently disabled. For those of you still interested in checking out their website, go HERE.

Sponsor an Event!
Show your support for our areas waterways at one of our events.
Community Partnership
Partner your organization with us in creating clean, healthier and safer rivers in Northwest Ohio
Did you know that the Great Lakes are the biggest freshwater source in the world? Lake Erie is the most productive for fishing of all the Great Lakes. Your support helps make our streams clean, clear and healthy so they can support this complex ecosystem. By donating to PCS, you help us reach our goals of restoring rivers that lead to Lake Erie beaches that promote fishable and swimmable conditions for generations.
Ever get that sinking feeling there is something in the water that shouldn't be? You're right! Get the Lead Out is a cleanup program that encourages volunteers to remove the fishing line, lead lures and trash that has accumulated in and along the banks of the Maumee River from spring fishing runs. We remove the used fishing gear because of the potential hazards that it can cause on wildlife, people and the beauty of the river. Get the Lead Out runs for several weeks throughout the summer, making this program flexible and allowing for weather and water-level dependent factors. After registering with PCS, groups pick up their Get the Lead Out Kit with cleanup supplies, and go collect lead sinkers, lures and fishing line and clean up our river! Sign up your group and jump into action and help us Get the Lead Out!
Make a significant difference to clean up our streams, make them safer for wildlife and more enjoyable for everyone!
Not only are the lead sinkers and hooks removed, but amazing amounts of old fishing gear including fishing lines, fishing rods, and lures are taken out of the river. The lead is sorted, melted, and reused. The fishing line is sent to Berkley Fishing where it is transformed into new materials like fish habitat structures. Groups can pick up lead and garbage anytime water levels and temperatures allow. Lower water levels make it easier to find line and lead along the rivers. PCS provides the supplies, the maps, the tools - everything you need! We work primarily along the lower Maumee River, in multiple locations. Get the Lead Out is perfect for organizations working for community service hours or improving the environment. This program is recommended for people of all ages but supervision is required for anyone under 13 due to the location and nature of materials being collected (i.e. hooks, entangled line, etc.).
To Get the Lead Out!, there are 3 easy steps:
To register, contact PCS or complete the registration flyer.
What an amazing summer for Get the Lead Out! With the help of the Toledo Zoo's very own Zoo Teens and local volunteers, Partners for Clean Streams was able to remove almost 7 pounds of fishing line from the Maumee River this year, along with about 200 pounds of trash. While 7 pounds does not sound like very much, when you realize how incredibly light fishing line is and how much line it takes to add up to that weight, you would be shocked. The Zoo Teens have volunteered to clean this fishing line for us throughout the winter and we will be sending it in to Berkley Fishing where they will be recycling it into submergible fishing habitat.
If you are interested in taking part in the 2018 Get the Lead Out series, please visit our volunteer page and sign up on our volunteer form where we can let you know of upcoming events. Please consider making a donation to Partners for Clean Streams in order to help us continue to run programs like these that ensure that our rivers are clean, clear and safe for everyone!
Partners for Clean Streams Inc. is striving for abundant open space and a high quality natural environment; adequate floodwater storage capacities and flourishing wildlife; stakeholders who take local ownership in their resources; and rivers, streams and lakes that are clean, clear and safe

GreenWorks prepared a design program and master plan for Gresham's most prominent park located at the foot of Main Street in downtown. Routine flooding of Johnson Creek which bisects the park combined with the need for a "town center" created a unique project which required blending urban design and environmental issues. GreenWorks assisted in the location of a new community center and was a member of a multidisciplinary design team consisting of architects, hydrologists, ecologists, engineers, and a public involvement specialist.
The design process utilized a week-long charrette to gain community support and create a rapid, creative and efficient design effort. GreenWorks was a key member of the week-long community design charrette involving the design team, city staff, invited community leaders and the general public. The process allowed an energetic "graphic brainstorming" session where mixed teams created distinctive themes for the park. These were then shared as a beginning point, then refined and combined to arrive at a preferred plan by the charrette's end. Other instruments utilized to involve the public included questionnaires, presentations to community groups, newsletters and public meetings. As part of our commitment to community involvement, GreenWorks also established two student internship positions to work on this project, in cooperation with Gresham High School. This project received an Oregon ASLA Merit Award in 2000.

Lawyer says power in numbers will help the cause
Lawyers for the people who filed a lawsuit over the cost of electricity in Batavia urged a crowd of about 90 people Thursday to join in the class action to strengthen their case.
"We believe there is power in numbers," said Michael Childress, a partner in the Childress Duffy law firm of Aurora.
Attendees picked up all the 225 signup packets his firm had brought to the meeting at the Batavia Public Library. Some said they would hand them out to neighbors. At least 25 people turned their applications in that night.
Nine Batavia utility customers filed the suit Tuesday against consultants who had advised Batavia when city officials were considering whether to have Northern Illinois Municipal Power Agency, to which Batavia belongs, buy a stake in the Prairie State Energy Campus. PSEC, in Washington County, is a coal mine and electricity plant.
Childress said the more people join the effort formally, the more likely a class will be certified by a Kane County judge. If the class is certified, then all Batavia ratepayers would be automatically included in any judgment or settlement, he said.
He said there is no cost to join the class, and no liability or bills to class members if it loses.
The first object of the suit, he said, is to get information about the deal that has been kept secret due to confidentiality agreements. That, he said, may reveal what Batavia officials were told, and whether things were kept from those officials.
Batavia, Geneva, Rochelle, NIMPA, builder Bechtel Corp., Peabody Energy, the plant's management committee and the other plant owners have been named as respondents in discovery. Childress said he has six months to obtain information from them before deciding whether any of those entities should be named as defendants in the suit.
Class members will be asked to submit their electricity bills, so Childress Duffy can present evidence about what customers paid since the Prairie State deal, what they would have paid if Batavia bought its electricity elsewhere, and what they will likely pay in the future.
Audience members asked what would happen if the suit prevails. Childress said the defendants could choose to settle, perhaps by giving class members money toward their future electric bills.
"Basically, if you make enough noise, they are going to want it to go away," Childress said.
The lawsuit has a website, prairiestateenergycampusclassaction, com.

I picked up our two new fosters, tiny and cute little kittens. They're probably only 4 weeks old, barely weaned. They were drywalled into a house and skinny, but they're happy and brave little things. They haven't so much as winced at the Berners. The Berners are a hoot. Hilga is pretty chill about the whole thing. Jackson LOVES them, and we have to watch him closely or else he could love them to death. He wants to lick them and sit close to them. He would love to be a mama, poor guy. Lemon is afraid of them... little 1 pound tiny things. Chris is convinced they hissed at her and the fear is warranted. I can only roll my eyes at our 80 lb baby.
Our bad news is that Lizzy was placed yesterday, then 5 hours later I got a phone call saying it wasn't working out. Her adopter was an elderly man who certainly had the heart for her, but wasn't physically capable of handling her. Sad and somewhat traumatic for Miss Lizzy Bizzy, but she is back safe and sound in our house tonight. Tomorrow a slightly younger couple is coming to look at her, so hopefully that goes a bit better. Fostering through an all-breed rescue is much more stressful than the Berner rescue. At the Berner rescue, our chair is also a breeder, has experience placing dogs and with a low in-take, she is able to be choosey and place dogs in the dogs best interest. At an all-breed, part of what they want to do is move dogs. Despite my reservations about the adopter because I ddn't think he would be able to physically handle her (which turned out to be right on), they still went through with the adoption. We may end up fostering only cats through this rescue. The dogs take a lot out of me... I don't think any homes are good enough for Lizzy.

A truck driver was seriously injured Friday afternoon when his tractor-trailer was hit by a train just north of Somerset.
Authorities said the driver was burned and was airlifted to a Lexington hospital. They did not immediately release his name.
The wreck happened about 3 p.m. on a private access road into the Warner Fertilizer plant from old U.S. 27, which is now designated Ky. 2227. Norfolk Southern tracks cross the private drive between the plant and highway.
The tractor-trailer pulled into the path of the southbound train as the driver tried to cross the tracks, said Lt. Brett Whitaker of the Pulaski County sheriff's office.
The impact split the truck, leaving the cab on one side of the tracks and the trailer on the other.
The truck was loaded with charcoal lighter fluid. Some containers burst and caught fire when the front of the trailer was ripped open, setting the truck and the train ablaze.
Firefighters did a good job quelling the fire with foam to keep it from reaching more containers of lighter fluid in the trailer, said Doug Baker, head of the Somerset-Pulaski County Special Response Team.
Police began working to evacuate the area out of concern about the contents of the truck, but they canceled the evacuation after learning that the cargo was not a hazard to nearby residents. The impact and fire damaged the lead locomotive.
There is a sign at the crossing where the collision happened. There are no lights or a crossbar, but they are not required there, authorities said.
