EHR 'solutions' research retains relevance: panelist says
Snow says technology needs to be easy for clinicians to use.
The CIO Consortium & Nurse Executive Council's white paper, "Electronic Health Record Solutions LTPAC Providers Need Today," still has relevance to long-term care providers working through new technology, panelists said at the Long Term and Post Acute Care Health IT Summit.
In a session on what CIOs and nurses have learned since the paper's release last year, panelists spoke about how the paper can lead to a solution, especially in connection with garnering clinical input. The summit was held in June in Baltimore.
The paper posits that long-term care should have systems "built on the foundation of a single integrated EHR engine within which any real consumer/patient has a single identity against which structured, document, and social (interaction/conversation) information is recorded." When information is recorded it should "downstream redundancies."
Many clinicians try to "fit" their care delivery process or workflow into the EMR modules. "This lack of alignment between clinical care delivery and the existing EMR modular configuration causes disruption in workflow and results in development of 'work arounds,' thus negatively impacting productivity and causing a myriad of unintended consequences," the paper notes.
The paper "has opened dialogue on the clinician side and allowed us to continue a more positive dialogue," said panelist Debbie Jones, RN, LNHA, CEO of New Beginnings Care. Some vendors saw the paper as a critique, but others embraced it and use it as a motivator, Jones and other panelists noted. Vendors need to help providers achieve interoperability, she said.
Technology needs to be easy for clinicians, reminded panelist Jillene N. Snow, RN, BSN, MBA, CHCC, the senior vice president of compliance and clinical information at Ethica Health and Retirement Communities. "We try to help in making technology their friend," she told McKnight's.

In this interview we talk with Haibing Ma, the China Program Manager at the Worldwatch Institute, about the increasingly large role that China is playing in global agriculture development.
Haibing Ma is an expert in climate change policy analysis and development and international environmental policy. A native Chinese, his primary focus is on China-related topics. Before coming to Worldwatch, Ma was an International Policy Associate at the Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP), where he played a leading role in managing several China-related projects.He holds a B.A. in Public Administration from Zhejiang University in China and an M.A. in Public Policy Analysis from Beijing University. He is currently completing his doctoral degree at the University of Maryland, College Park, where his primary research focus is on waste electric and electronic equipment management issues in China.
Please outline the China Program at Worldwatch. What are your main projects right now?
I think of the China Program is an overarching brand and inside of this program is climate and energy and also agriculture and food, also transforming cultures—essentially all of the other programs that are relevant to China, and can be integrated into the program, are under the umbrella of the China program.
Right now we are focusing on two projects. One is focused on a general discussion of China's potential to contribute to a green economy with a special focus on green job opportunities. From my personal experience talking with Chinese officials, they were really keen on this one. They saw this as something that could really help them make decisions about future development strategies. It is a very general concept and I hope in this report to establish the Worldwatch role in defining the" green economy" concept, just like we did for "sustainable development" back in 1970s. We'd like to put the Worldwatch brand on this. There are a lot of different opinions about green economy, low carbon economy, green growth, etc., and maybe we can offer something unique.
The second focus is a discussion of what should be China's role in shaping sustainable global development. The focus will be on the impact of China's shifting development pattern on other developing countries. We are trying, in a sense, to create a "south to south" dialogue. Given China's increasing dependence on foreign based natural resources—they are buying resources such as metal and energy from other developing countries, for example— its policy decisions have a growing influence on sustainability throughout the developing world. How can we enhance China's leading role and how can we engage China to help the rest of the developing world in alleviating poverty and other discrepancies? We'll look at China's green transition as a model and explore its implications on the international level. We want to see what experiences and lessons we can draw on from China.
Also, I would like to further integrate other programs like water and energy into the China Program because I think that is a field that deserves more attention. Water needs, and water impact, especially given China's tremendous new energy development planning, are increasingly important now. It's a challenge for China to have enough water resources to support its ambitious energy plan while also providing for residential and agricultural water needs. Current energy development plans are not taking into account the population's water needs, so we sense the need to shed a light on that.
The gas program is also very important for China. In the next five years, china wants to double its share of gas in the total energy mix. It's an impressive target but it might need some out-of-the-box practices to achieve it. We'd like to work with Chinese partners to explore the potential role of unconventional gas. So, there is a lot of potential to grow that aspect of the China program, as well.
Why is it important to focus on China apart from other countries?
China in many ways is a unique country. It has such a massive economy and population. A recent report stated that China's GDP has surpassed that of Japan, becoming the world's second largest. And in terms of energy consumption, and green house gas emissions, China is viewed by many as the world's largest as well. But in terms of the per capita figures, China is still very much a developing country. Within this country you have the southeastern coastal cities that are almost like western metropolitans; but in the inland, rural areas, people are really poor. There are still about 40 million people living under the poverty line. China, in terms of development standards, is facing most of the problems of both developing countries and developed countries at the same time. Given the size of China's economy and its potential impact on the world, it's crucial to have a strong understanding of the country. China's efforts in its green transition, if successful, will significantly encourage other countries to pursue an environmentally sustainable development path.
In what ways can the Food and Agriculture work at Worldwatch partner with the China Program and why is this collaboration important?
Much of China in the northwest is mountainous or desert and not suitable for large-scale agriculture. At the same time, the pace of urban expansion is accelerating. As a result, agriculture development and food security in China is a growing concern and could have a big impact on other countries.
During the industrialization process, China's agricultural and food sector wasn't given the attention it deserved. At the current stage, I think, when you talk about development strategy, you can't ignore the population's basic needs, not to mention that China has a huge population that has to be sustained by a well designed and sophisticated agriculture system. Any national food insecurity will eventually lead to internal social instability, and in turn might trigger international problems just based on, as we already discussed, the huge international role China already plays. We have already seen conflicts over food sensitive resources like water, in fact, at the southern border. The river sources, the building of dams and contaminated run-off, for example, if loosely planned and controlled, could have tremendous impact on neighboring areas in terms of water availability and human health. So agriculture and food availability is incredibly important both within China and in determining how China interacts with other countries. There is clearly a lot to be done in our China program together with food and agriculture and I look forward to integrating these possibilities into a sustainable China framework in the near future.

The greatest chase in this generation feels as if it is about to be renewed at next week's U.S. Open.
Tiger Woods looks as if he has the legs again to make the final sprint it takes to catch Jack Nicklaus and his record 18 major championship triumphs.
With his dramatic victory Sunday at the Memorial, Woods could not have delivered that message in a more poignant setting or in more poignant fashion.
His win didn't just match Nicklaus' record of 73 PGA Tour titles in Nicklaus' event at Muirfield Village. It stoked the magnificent possibility Woods still has what it takes to match and pass the Golden Bear's major championship mark.
"Well, he had to rub it in my face right here, didn't he?" Nicklaus said in good-natured needling of Woods.
Discussion: Will Woods win the U.S. Open?
Sobel: Woods thrives on big moments
Woods made a Sunday charge that stokes promise as rich for the game as it is for Woods.
Tiger vs. Jack is the matchup of a millennium. It's the only duel in golf with the potential to trump storylines generated by the NFL, Major League Baseball or the NBA. The possibility that Woods' quest is fully re-engaged is the most electric storyline in what's already a high voltage golf season.
That's how large Woods' remarkable flop shot at the 16th was Sunday, how large his three birdies over the final four holes were, how large this major championship summer becomes if history is in tow again behind Woods.
Whether you want to see Woods pass Nicklaus or not, the possibility the chase is renewed excites more than anything in sports today. The possibility is so compelling there will be a sense we've been robbed of something promised if Woods doesn't make a last run at the Golden Bear. There will be the unsatisfying sense we've gotten to the end of a great book and there's no final chapter to read.
That's what resonated most in the hope behind Woods' terrific finish Sunday in Columbus, Ohio: The game is on again.
The U.S. Open at The Olympic Club in San Francisco looms as yet another important test for Woods in his quest. Yes, Woods won Arnold Palmer's event at Bay Hill and then stumbled miserably at the Masters, but we've just seen Woods win in convincing, closing fashion now for the third time in six months. Yes, there will be more stumbles, to be sure, but the steps are so much surer now, the climb seems less precarious. The tools are there to complete the journey.
The Olympic Club will be a stern test, one that will allow Woods to separate himself with the kind of precise ball striking he showed at Muirfield Village. Woods can probably win at Olympic hitting his driver sparingly. That's a plus, too.
"At Olympic, we're all going to have to hit the ball great there," Woods said. "That golf course, you can look at the history of guys who were in contention, or who ended up winning, all were wonderful drivers of the golf ball and good, solid iron players. That's what it's going to take there at Olympic, more so than most U.S. Open sites."
Woods is coming off a confidence building trip to the San Francisco venue early last week.
"When I went out and played Olympic, I hit the ball well there," Woods said at Memorial. "I said, `Hey, that's as good a prep as any, if I can hit the ball well there. I just basically carried that into this event and hit it great all week."
Woods tied for 18th when the U.S. Open was last played at The Olympic Club in 1998, but he wasn't on top of a new swing change back then.
Woods conjured old magic Sunday at Muirfield Village, and he'll need more of it to catch Nicklaus. The next four major championship triumphs loom with the feeling they'll be a lot more difficult for Woods to win than his first 14.
If he rebounds from injuries to body and spirit, the last four to tie Nicklaus, the last five to pass him, will be remembered differently than the first 14. They'll be remembered for what was overcome as much as what was won.

Restaurants and food in Romania
Update history
The article was written 8.4.2007.

Eat traditional Romanian food (Dining)
Well, going around Romania will give you plenty of chances to visit great places, to do some souvenirs shopping or mingling with the locals. But all of that can be really tiring, and I know you will finally end up into a nice restaurant with the intention of having a rich, traditional dinner. I must say you are in the right place as Romania is famous for its tasty food and wines.
Dining Romania can be an interesting experience, most of the times a pleasant one, if you get in the right place. Romanian food excels in full-bodied soups, the most popular being the chicken soup, beef, vegetable or bean soup, while the breakfast consists mainly in eggs (fried, omelettes or soft-boiled).
What is great in Romania is that the food is 100% natural. The tourists will clearly feel the difference between the fruits and vegetables bought from their local grocery and the ones freshly picked from a Romanian garden. This happens because the local growers avoid using herbicides/pesticides to grow their crops. Especially in the rural areas, tourists can taste some home made cheese and bread, fresh milk or fresh meat as Romanians like everything tasty and all natural.
If you are a vegetarian, you might encounter some difficulties as the traditional Romanian food is meat-based.
Romanian wines are very tasty, and the locals say "Noroc!" that can be translated as "Cheers!" but it actually means "Good luck". A funny thing is that this word is used both for the toasts and if someone sneezes.
Tuica, the most popular drink in Romania, is made of plums, apples or peaches and is as strong as whiskey. It has a fruity flavor, yet strong and acquired, but don't be deceived by the crystal clear aspect; tuica can really cloud your thinking after a couple of glasses.
Junk food is everywhere, fortunately for those tourists who want a taste of home. There is McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and you will see that the food has the same taste and consistency as back home. You will find here any possible kind of food from the international cuisine, like Italian food, Chinese or Mexican food. However, it would be a pity not to try the traditional dishes.
Eating in tradidional restaurants
The restaurants with a traditional theme will offer you with a great atmosphere created by live Romanian folk music and staff dressed in national costumes. The prices are always reasonable, even if for the locals they often seem too high.
Tip: If you are goint to have a dinner in a restaurant, make sure you choose a bigger one; you will spare yourself of unpleasant surprises, like undercooked dinner.
Tip: Want something different? Ciorba de burta is a soup made from cow intestines. The dish is recommended only for those initiated in Romanian food.
Romanian food specialties
Here are the national specialties when it comes to Romanian food:
Regarding the tipping customs, some tourists find there are few inconsistencies from what they are used to and the local customs. You see, tourists don't like to refuse paying for an excellent service, while the local consider that they are tipping the staff too much.
Romanians usually tip at the end of the dinner, by rounding up the final bill. Tourists find hard not to tip excessively, by considering they are giving something in return to the local economy, but the fact is that only one segment of the economy actually benefits from it. If you intend to leave a tip, around 15% from the final bill would be good while dining in Romania.
Eating with locals
Restaurants can be great choices for dinner, but the restaurant food never matches the dishes prepared in a local's home. If you have friends or you have found accommodation in a local's house, you can buy the groceries and ask the host to prepare you a traditional meal; you will see that Romanian ladies are exquisite cooks!
Regional foods
If you decide to have dinner in one of the mountain pensions, I recommend you to start with a hot glass of palinca (the traditional brandy), then go inside and check the hunt steak (bear, deer, rabbit) or some fresh fish straight from the mountain rivers steaming with vegetables on the grill.
When visiting the Danube delta, you will have the chance to try out a lot of fish courses. Trust me on that: try the fish borsch, a sour soup made of fish and water taken from the Danube. I know, this might seem unusual for the western visitors, but just eat it. You will be surprised of the abundance of spices and flavors' going through your mouth, as this is how all Romanian food is.
Can't you feel the flavor yet? :-)

Family-Owned and Operated Company Commemorates 125th Anniversary With Year-Long Festivities and Appreciation for Employees and Customers
Family-Owned and Operated Company Commemorates 125th Anniversary With Year-Long Festivities and Appreciation for Employees and Customers
FORT ATKINSON, WI--(Marketwired - January 27, 2014) - Jones Dairy Farm kicked off its quasquicentennial anniversary this January, marking 125 years of delivering all natural, great tasting sausage and other breakfast meats that families can feel good about eating, a guarantee the company has stood by since 1889.
When founded by Milo Jones in Fort Atkinson, Wis., Jones Dairy Farm made sausage from a cherished family recipe consisting of pork, water, salt and a special blend of spices -- sausage that was free of preservatives, fillers, binders and extenders. Over the years, despite changes in technology and the industry standard to cut corners to save costs, Jones still produces their signature sausage as well as an extended line of wholesome products including dry-aged bacon, ham, Canadian bacon, turkey sausage, turkey bacon, braunschweiger and scrapple.
"For 125 years, our family has made a commitment to deliver high-quality products that families can feel good about serving," said Philip H. Jones, sixth generation president and great-great grandson of Milo Jones. "We take pride in our products' clean ingredient labels that don't include preservatives, MSG or gluten."
The Jones Dairy Farm success story is not only based on providing consistent quality to generations of loyal customers but a strong entrepreneurial spirit that keeps the company moving forward. Since inception, the company has seen many milestone achievements, including:
Beyond its commitment to delivering quality products, Jones Dairy Farm has a deep tradition of community involvement and philanthropy, and has taken a lead role in cultivating future generations of talented chefs and foodservice professionals. In 2006, the company established an endowed scholarship at the Culinary Institute of America. The scholarship provides substantial tuition assistance to students seeking their Bachelor of Professional Studies degree in culinary arts management. In its home state, Jones Dairy Farm is the proud sponsor of Wisconsin's first and only culinary theatre at Fox Valley Technical College.
Jones Dairy Farm is proud of its history and many achievements, and throughout 2014, the company will commemorate and celebrate its 125thanniversary with a variety of in-store activities, sampling opportunities, contests and giveaways.
"This year will be full of surprises for both our customers and employees," said Mr. Jones. "We look forward to celebrating this milestone anniversary. The company wouldn't be here today if it weren't for our dedicated customers and loyal, hard-working employees. It's truly an achievement to be a relevant brand for 125 years that continues to gain a new legion of fans every year."

These first-class airports are improving the travel experience
Whether you're jet-setting for a special getaway or a frequent business flier, reliable air travel is central to the experience. Opting to fly comes with plenty of perks and pains—no one likes long layovers, right? However, there are ways to make those layovers more bearable and airports across the globe are gung ho about keeping customers happy on and off the ground.
Every year accolades are given to airports, like Skytrax's World Airport Awards or the newly launched 'Airport Innovation Power List' from Future Travel Experience. Technological advances, architecture, airport culture, passenger accessibility and overall efficiency all come into consideration and critique when assessing what the best airports have to offer. Innovation is noticed and rewarded.
Automation, robotics, data analytics, smart infrastructure management are all areas that steer change, and airports invest millions of dollars to ensure their airport is offering only the best for its travelers.
Singapore's Changi Airport, which is regarded as one of the most passenger-friendly airports, continues to be leading this innovation charge, and has been doing so consecutively for the past five years. In 2017 it once again topped Skytrax's 'best of' list, and with its newly introduced Terminal 4 in early 2017, Changi will further shape the future of travel.
Terminal 4 is the first terminal at Changi Airport to offer end-to-end Fast and Seamless Travel (FAST) for departing passengers. Facial recognition software speeds up the efficiency of passenger's check in, bag drop and immigration clearing. Nine airlines are slated to operate at Terminal 4 including Korean Air and Cathay Pacific.
In just under three years, the construction of Terminal 4 was completed, ringing in at a price tag of SGD$985 million (about CAD$908 million). Once the terminal is fully operational it is expected to facilitate 16 million passengers a year.
While Changi took the main award, four Canadian airports should be noted on the Top 100 list, too. Vancouver Airport came in at No. 13 (No. 14 in 2016), Toronto's Pearson International Airport landed at No. 43 on the list (No. 44 in 2016), the Halifax Stanfield Airport is No. 65 (down from No. 61 in 2016) and Montreal Airport came in at No. 80 on the list, moving up eight spots from its 2016 ranking.
When it comes to innovation, there are seven airports that manage to attract, engage and respect travellers while they wait to fly.

Just like that, January is over! Yes, yes, time is in a hurry it seems. During the first two weeks, I was on roll. I couldn't stop reading. But then for some reason, I stopped again. Took me a while to finish Of Triton and Replica (I still haven't picked this back up again). Also, Mom is currently watching Harry Potter: The Order of the Phoenix while am drafting this and OMG I am absolutely distracted! :D
I've read a total of 7 books this month. This is actually just half of my intended TBR, I totally failed my attempt but will definitely try next month. I'll be focusing on Contemporary novels because well, it is the love month (oh God).
Anyway, here is what happened on the blog this month!
January 01 - New Beginnings.
January 02 - First review of the year: Willowgrove by Kathleen Peacock (4 stars out of 5!)
January 03 - Stacking the Shelves: The New Year 2015 Haul Edition.
January 04 - Reviewed Ingrid Jonach's When the World was Flat (4 stars out of 5!)
January 06 - Reviewed Amy Zhang's Falling into Place (4 stars out of 5!)
January 07 - WoW pick is Sarah J. Maas' A Court of Thorns and Roses!
January 09 - Reviewed Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers (3 stars out of 5!)
January 13 - Spill the Feels: Why Numbers No Longer Matter.
January 14 - WoW pick is Susane Colasanti's City Love!
January 15 - Reviewed Blackbird by Anna Carey (1 star out of 5!)
January 17 - Stacking the Shelves: My Bright Place Edition.
January 19 - Reviewed All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven (4 out of 5 stars!)
January 21 - WoW pick is Jodi Meadows' The Orphan Queen!
January 24 - Reviewed Of Triton by Anna Banks (3 out of 5 stars!)
January 31 - January 2015 Recap + Book of the Month
Unfortunately, I didn't give a 5-star rating this month. I also have one 1-star rating which sucked because Blackbird was one of my Most Anticipated Titles. Am crossing all crossables that February will be a wicked one.
Since the highest rating I gave was 4 stars, this is a little bit difficult because I loved these books on the same level. Picking up only one is hard but it has to be done. So this book that won the place this month reached a part of me that has been untouchable and unreachable for as long as I can remember. This book made my throat tighten so hard because I kept holding back the tearS. The other 4-star books are equally amazing only this one gripped me a little bit tighter. Sooooooo.. my Book of the Month is none other than..
"Driven with passion, All the Bright Places reaches the deepest parts of the heart. Riveting and gripping, All the Bright Places is a magnificent and moving story -- that can melt the toughest hearts and maybe a thousand more."

here's what christina's initial email to me said when she first wrote a year ago:
I'm from Westchester and he is from Rochester, NY but we live up in Boston. My family has a long history with Southern Vermont since the 1800's and my parents have a ski house up at Stratton, so that's why VT. Andy and I have been together for about five and a half years. He proposed in Paris in April. We actually got caught up in the Icelandic volcano- we were sitting in the plane before takeoff and he checked his iPhone to see the headline. 4 flights later we landed in Nice (it was the closest we could get to Paris) and drove 10 hours in a rental car, arriving in Paris at 3am. Andy had the ring in his pocket the entire time. So that's pretty much our story...
i think i knew i wanted to shoot their wedding before we even met! she had mentioned that she wanted to apply a rustic DIY style to a big wedding of 250+ guests... + I think they pulled it off flawlessly! when christina kicked off her heels before the ceremony to walk barefoot into a big field for photos, i knew she was my kind of girl. andy + christina live in boston, but when planning their wedding, decided to make the event a destination weekend for their friends + family. they were so laid back, so happy, + it's clear... so perfect for each other! it was pretty much one of the most fun wedding weekend's i've ever been apart of. so happy for you two!
love this... dad's first look at the dress!
these two hand picked every stone out of the river for these place settings...
pretty much the most amazing + beautiful cake ever!
off with the heels again! bring on the dancing...

Typography has been and isn't going away as a trend (though we do – hurrah – finally seem to have fallen out of love with the ubiquitous 'keep calm' bonanza). But the next step in letter love is illuminated signage, specifically featuring letters or words. My friend Abi emailed to ask where she could get a giant letter 'M' that lights up for her husband's 40th birthday present. They're not everywhere and there are a few different ways to go. Here's what we discovered:
|Vintage marquee sign, around £160, Etsy
If you're not in a rush, eBay and Etsy will come up trumps… eventually. Especially if you have your heart set on an original rather than a repro version. The (not less obvious) keywords to go for are: fairground; illuminated; marquee; signage lightbulb letter (and the dreaded 'vintage' – which it's worth searching without too, as anyone with the nous to use it, has the nous to charge more).
|Original illuminated 'N', £175 from Something or Other
Try, too: the Vintage Wall; theoldcinema.co.uk (if you have cash to splash); Something or Other (above) – and the trade markets (there is a calendar available for the six biggies at iacf.co.uk – and antiques-atlas.com includes heaps more to choose from, though you'll really need to sift through for the good ones).
|Original letter 'O', Signs for Homes, £145
I'm not usually a fan of reproduction – and repro signage can look particularly 'meh'. But if you want something specific spelt out, and have a deadline – it's probably your best bet. And Signs for Homes make stunning old-style copies, employing a pro sign-maker (below, left). Individual light bulb letters (33 x 40cm) start at £195. (They sell originals too, above.)
|Bespoke signs made to order, £225, from Signs for Homes; 'Dancing' sign
(put your own lights behind it) from Rockett St George, £89
If you happen to want to spell the word 'dancing', Rockett St George sell a beautiful – new – Perspex panel for £89 (above, right), modelled on a 1950s nightclub sign, with red letters on the front; you can put your own light behind it if you like.
Or make like Tracey Emin and buy ready made words and phrases ('kiss', 'hot' and 'I love you'), or create your own for £45 per letter (plus a transformer – from £45-£100). Available from The Letter Room.
|Follow Oleander and Palm's instructions on making your own illuminated letter using old jam jars.
Or make your own. Get step-by-step guides for the super simple plywood, jam jar and paint version, Oleander and Palm (above, a very nice site) or go a bit more pro here. Lights4fun.co.uk sell the festoon light strings you'll need and 'foamcore' is better known as 'foamboard' in the UK for Googling. Do send photos if you manage it!
Or if you just want to ogle such glowing beauties, check out his current pop-up shop and exhibition (on until January) in London, by the renowned neon artist, Chris Bracey (above). You can read about him in the Independent.

Stanford's Lin named Pac-12 Men's Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Stanford's Denis Lin was named the Pac-12 Men's Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the Conference office announced on Friday at the Pac-12 Men's Tennis Championship. The award, which is presented in each of the 22 sports the Conference sponsors, was established to honor collegiate student-athletes that are standouts both academically and in their sports discipline.
Lin, a native of Thousand Oaks, Calif. is a mechanical engineering major. Lin has earned a GPA of 3.85 while at Stanford. He was a 2011-12 and a 2010-11 Pac-12 All-Academic First Team selection. He was named an ITA Scholar Athlete for the past three seasons.
[Related: Pac-12 Men's Tennis Championships bracket]
During the 2013 season Lin has tallied an 8-7 record in singles and an 18-13 doubles record. He partnered with Daniel Ho during the first half of the season and has paired with John Morrissey in the past 16 matches at the No. 1 spot. Lin posted an 8-16 overall record in 2012, including a 4-13 record in dual play. The senior doubled with Matt Kandath in 2012 and was 12-7 overall, including a 10-4 mark at the No. 2 spot. He notched a 22-14 overall record in his sophomore season and was 16-8 in duals that year. He started his career as a Cardinal with a 19-9 overall record. During his career at Stanford, Lin has played everywhere from the Nos. 2-6 spots in the lineup.
In order to be eligible for the Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, student-athletes must be a senior (in athletics eligibility) on track to receive a degree, have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher, participate in at least 50 percent of the scheduled contests in the sport and have a minimum of one year in residence at the institution.

We rode the Polar Express - A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. The wonder on my dad's face in this picture makes me so happy. Santa came on the train when we arrived at the North Pole and gave us all silver bells. My dad was just as excited as the kids. I'm so thankful for all of these memories.

Betty the Friendly Neighborhood Crockpot . . .
Is one of my best friends, and she wants to be yours, too! She's absolutely fabulous, ya'll. Give her tough cuts of meat like top round, veggies that need to be used quickly and some spices and VOILA! You've got a hearty stew without even messing up your kitchen!!
But you know the best part? When your mom comes to visit and gets you all spoiled with a piping hot breakfast waiting in the kitchen she'll be there to pick up the pieces when you're on your own again.
Seriously though, Betty is more chipper in the morning that that nest of robins outside Snow White's window. So when she says "sleep a little longer, hon, I've got this" — DO IT. Then roll out of bed and stumble into the kitchen for warm, breakfasty goodness on-the-spot.I've you've never met Betty please consider this your formal introduction. To get to know her better, check out the recipes below!
Slow Cooker "Baked" Apples
Make any morning extra special with these slow cooker apples with salted caramel.The aroma alone will have you smiling before you get to the kitchen, promise! We like ours with a quick side of scrambled eggs and/or sausage. Yum!
For kids who don't eat super sweet sweets, this will be a real treat.
Bacon "Omelette" Crock Pot Breakfast
Alyssa over at Sweet Cheeks says that "The delicious smell fills up the house as you sleep, causing visions of bacon to dance in your head!" Uh, yeah! This looks so delish AND easy – can't wait to try it! Since we're one of those families Betty will substitute butternut squash for sweet potato* and add some cheese as well. Since coconut oil maintains it's benefits better than olive oil when heated Betty will make that switcharoo for us, too. You can find the recipe here.
* If your Betty substitutes with butternut squash you might recommend she use 1/3 less since it is usually higher in water content.
Southwest Crockpot Crustless Quiche
Oh yeah, this one looks UH-mazing! Betty is making this for us next week except she's going to sub these pickled peppers for the canned green chilis (we can't find any that don't have BPA) and bacon for sausage. (Pssst! Want bacon without all the additives? Try making your own with this recipe!) Or to make this casserole more budget-friendly you can substitute this easy homemade spicy sausage recipe.
You can find the southwest breakfast casserole recipe here.
Do you know a mama who could you a few extra minutes of sleep and a hot breakfast? Why not share this recipe with her?!?!? And if you have a fave crockpot breakfast recipe, please share it!

Hancock will go down as one of the finest head coaches in school history; one of the finest student-athletes in school history, Leedham will now move on to her head coaching duties
RINDGE, N.H. (February 21, 2012) -- Franklin Pierce University Vice President/Director of Athletics Bruce Kirsh announced on Tuesday that women's basketball head coach Steve Hancock will retire from those duties at the end of the season, and Jennifer Leedham, the team's current assistant coach, will be promoted to the head post. Hancock will remain part of the program as he will stay on as an assistant coach. The announcement was made prior to the Ravens regular season finale versus Merrimack in The Fieldhouse.
"Three years ago Steve Hancock, Jennifer Leedham and myself charted this course of action for the women's basketball program," Kirsh said. "The success the program has achieved with this coaching tandem has been nothing short of remarkable. Coach Hancock has done an outstanding job of guiding the program while providing valuable mentoring to coach Leedham. I think Coach Leedham is a rising star in this profession and I look forward to watching the program grow under her leadership in the future."
The staff of Hancock and Leedham was put in place following the conclusion of the 2008-09 season. During their first campaign together in 2009-10, Hancock and Leedham guided Franklin Pierce to a 32-2 overall record, a No. 1 national ranking, the Northeast-10 Conference regular season and tournament championships, an NCAA East Regional title and a trip to the Division II Final Four. The staff's best coaching job, however, may have come the following season in 2010-11. Faced with the loss of three major contributors, no seniors and a backcourt comprised of three true freshmen, Hancock and Leedham guided Franklin Pierce to a 24-8 overall record, a top-10 national ranking at one point during the year, a second-place finish in the NE-10 regular season and a trip to the conference championship game. The Ravens were rewarded with a trip to the NCAA Division II Tournament, the program's fourth-straight appearance on the national stage. Franklin Pierce has gone 17-8 this season, and again, thrust itself into the conversation for another bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Several players have earned major accolades under the guidance of Hancock and Leedham, including former standout Johannah Leedham, who became the all-time leading scorer in NCAA Division II history with 3,050 points. She was named the WBCA/State Farm Division II Player of the Year in 2009, while also picking up the same honor from the Northeast-10. Following her senior season, Johannah was drafted by the Connecticut Sun in the WNBA Draft. In 2011, Jewel White (Worcester, Mass.) was named the Northeast-10 Conference and Daktronics East Region Player of the Year, while Marielle Giroud (Martigny, Switzerland) garnered the NE-10 Defensive Player-of-the-Year award.
The program has also experienced success in the classroom. In July of 2011, Franklin Pierce was honored by the WBCA with a No. 11 national ranking in the WBCA Division II Academic Top-25 Poll. Franklin Pierce, which was the only school in the Northeast-10 Conference to appear in the rankings, earned a team GPA of 3.524 during the 2010-11 year. Franklin Pierce was one of just 39 schools across all levels of college basketball last season (Divisions I, II, III, NAIA, Junior/Community College) to earn a team GPA of 3.5 or better.
Hancock will long be remembered as one of the finest head coaches in Franklin Pierce Athletics history. He has compiled a career record of 208-112 over 11 seasons -- covering two head coaching stints -- for a 65 percent winning percentage. His 208 victories are the most in program history.
Hancock's first head coaching stint in Rindge came from 1988-96, as he transitioned the program from NAIA into NCAA Division II while compiling a 135-92 record, three NCAA Tournament berths (1992, 1993, 1994) and two New England Collegiate Conference championships (1992, 1994). He was named the NECC Coach of the Year following each season when his team was crowned league champions. Hancock guided the Ravens to a 20-7 record during the 1995-96 season and afterwards stepped down from the post to continue his career as a teacher and administrator in the Gardner (Mass.) School System.
Hancock retired from Gardner in the summer of 2006 after 35 years of service to the school system. He returned to Rindge that fall as an assistant coach on Mark Swasey's staff and served in that capacity for three seasons. Hancock helped guide Franklin Pierce to a pair of NCAA East Region titles and a trip to the Division II national championship game in 2009, which was seen live throughout the nation on ESPN2. Following Swasey's departure, Hancock was promoted to head coach and helped guide the program to the success listed above. He was named the 2010 NE-10 Coach of the Year after guiding the Ravens to the league crown.
"I want to thank Bruce Kirsh for giving me the opportunity to serve as a head coach at Franklin Pierce, not once, but twice," Hancock said. "I have enjoyed my time in this role and worked with a lot of tremendous student-athletes and staff members. We were able to celebrate a lot of great achievements and I'm fortunate to have been a part of those great events."
Jennifer Leedham is widely regarded as one of the finest student-athletes and competitors in the history of Franklin Pierce Athletics. She starred as the point guard for the women's basketball team from 2005-09, scored over 1,000 career points and was the floor general for several teams which reached unparalleled heights in program history.
As a true freshman in 2005-06, Leedham was a member of a Ravens team which captured the ECAC Division II Championship with a thrilling 61-60 win over top-seeded Philadelphia. As a sophomore in 2006-07, she started all 28 games and led the team with 117 assists, while ranking second on the squad with a 12.8 points per game average.
Leedham and the Ravens exploded during her final two seasons as they captured back-to-back NCAA East Regional championships. As a junior and co-captain in 2008, Leedham earned All-NE-10 Third-Team honors and guided the Ravens to the Eastern title and a trip to the Division II Elite Eight.
Franklin Pierce made a name for itself on the national scene in Leedham's senior season of 2008-09. She was the point guard on a Ravens team which captured the Northeast-10 Championship (the first NE-10 title in program history) and won its second-consecutive East Region title. Franklin Pierce advanced to the Elite Eight in San Antonio, Texas, where the Ravens dispatched of California (Pa.) in quarterfinals, 88-73, thanks in part to Leedham's 16 points and eight assists. In the Final Four versus Delta State, Leedham had a solid game of nine points and five steals to help lead the Ravens to a 58-39 victory and the school's first appearance in the national championship game, which would come two nights later on March 27.
In front of national television cameras on ESPN2, Leedham saved her best collegiate performance for her final game as she netted a season-high 31 points on 12-of-20 shooting (5-of-7 from three-point range), dished out nine assists, swiped four steals and blocked two shots in a full 40 minutes as the Ravens fought valiantly in a tough 103-94 loss to Minnesota State-Mankato. She earned NCAA All-Tournament team honors for her impressive performance at the national finals.
Following the season Leedham was honored with several other awards including the 2009 Walter Peterson Female Senior Student-Athlete-of-the Year award, the NE-10 Defensive Player-of-the-Year award and All-NE-10 Second-Team honors.
Leedham graduated from Franklin Pierce in May of 2009 with a bachelor's degree in sports and recreation management. She chose to enter into the coaching profession following graduation and has been instrumental in Franklin Pierce's success each of the past three seasons as an assistant. Leedham will also be earning her master's degree in leadership this spring from Franklin Pierce.
"I'm very excited to begin this new chapter in my career," she said. "I have a lot of respect and appreciation for Franklin Pierce and the women's basketball program, and I'm looking forward to building on the success we have achieved over the past several seasons. I want to thank Bruce Kirsh and Steve Hancock for working with me as a player and coach. Those two men have a lot of experience and they've been kind enough to share that with me as I continue to grow in this profession."

Calleigh finally has her own little toddler bed. We knew hat once we got back from England we were giving her room a little makeover (more to come on that soon) and one of the things I was most excited about getting was a toddler bed.
She had been in her crib since she was 6 months old and although she slept incredibly well in it, the time had come to move her on to a bed of her own.
The bed itself is perfectly designed with toddler's in mind. It is just inches from the floor so if Calleigh happens to roll in the night the fall will not hurt. It's also really good because she can get herself in and out of bed when she pleases. This is more of a good/bad thing.
It's good because it gives her a lot more freedom. When she wakes up she can get herself out of bed and come to the door and shout for us or she can play around with her toys for a bit first. It's only really bad at bedtime. Before it was easy to get her to sleep as she had no choice, she was in her cot with no way out of it. But now bedtime is a bit of a free for all. She goes to bed, she gets out and fetches a toy or a book and goes back to bed, she then gets out again to fetch something else and so on and so on. Before you know it you've been up there an hour, all her toys are out and Calleigh is still no closer to going to sleep.
It' a work in progress, she is getting better.
I am so happy that she is in her bed now, it really makes me feel like shes grown up. I've gone up after a nap to hear her playing in her room by herself and it really just makes you feel good!
Calleigh loves it too! She loves running over to her bed, climbing under the covers and giving us a big yawn before pretending to go to sleep. It the cutest thing!
