Civics: glue for our union
The decline of civics education in public schools is producing citizens with no idea how their government works, an editorial in Sunday's Commercial Appeal says. A Harris Interactive poll on civics education conducted last year for the American Bar Association found that 55 percent of the respondents correctly identified the three branches of government -- legislative, executive and judicial. But more than a fifth of those surveyed, 22 percent, identified the three branches as Republican, Democrat and Independent. Some groups, including the Tennessee Bar Association, are working to bring more civics education into the classroom. Read the editorial:

MARY JANE CHAMBERS, ET AL. v. JOHN R. SEMMER, M.D., ET AL.
Court: TSC
Gary G. Spangler and Travis J. Ledgerwood, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the Appellant, John R. Semmer, M.D.
Edward G. White, II, and B. Chase Kibler, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the Appellant, Kenneth Cofer, M.D.
Timothy A. Priest and H. Stephen Gillman, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the Appellees, Mary Jane Chambers and J. Clayton Chambers.
Judge: E. RILEY ANDERSON
We granted review in this medical malpractice case to determine whether a hemoclip that is intentionally used but negligently placed and negligently left in a patient's body following surgery may be considered a "foreign object" that establishes an exception to the one-year statute of limitations and the three-year statute of repose. The trial court denied the defendant physicians' motions for summary judgment after finding that a hemoclip may be a "foreign object" under Tennessee Code Annotated section 29-26-116(a)(4) (2005). Although the trial court granted an interlocutory appeal, the appeal was denied by the Court of Appeals. See Tenn. R. App. P. 9. We granted review and now affirm the trial court's order denying the defendants' motions for summary judgment for the reasons set out in this opinion. The case is remanded to the trial court for further proceedings.
LAURA D. BLEDSOE v. BRIAN KEITH KERPER
Court: TCA
Brian K. Kerper, Pro Se.
Laura D. Bledsoe, Pro Se.
Judge: DAVID R. FARMER
Father appeals the order of the Juvenile Court of Memphis and Shelby County setting child support and retroactive child support. We affirm.
JOHN FLOYD HOWELL, JR. v. REBECCA MOSELEY HOWELL
This is a corrected opinion.
Court: TCA
Karla C. Hewitt, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, John Floyd Howell, Jr.
Marlene Eskind Moses and John D. Kitch, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Rebecca Moseley Howell.
Judge: WILLIAM B. CAIN
This appeal concerns Husband's efforts to reduce his alimony in futuro obligation following a twenty-two year marriage. Less than one year after the final decree of divorce, Husband's job was eliminated and he sought alternative employment. However, Husband incurred a significant reduction in compensation at his new job and thus he petitioned the court for a modification of spousal support. Wife counter-petitioned for arrearage and contempt asserting that Husband had ceased paying alimony and child support. Upon finding that a substantial and material change in circumstances had occurred, the trial court reduced Husband's alimony payment. However, the court also found Husband in civil contempt for willful failure to pay alimony and child support. The court denied Husband's request for a retroactive reduction in alimony and entered a judgment against him for alimony arrears. Husband appealed. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed in part and reversed in part and remanded.
ANNIE E. HYDE JOHNSON ET AL. v. JOHN HANCOCK FUNDS ET AL.
Court: TCA
H. Naill Falls, Jr., Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellants, Annie E. Hyde Johnson, Linda D. Johnson, and Mary Anne Howland.
Hugh C. Howser, Jr. and Kevin C. Baltz, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellee, Signator Investors, Inc.
Judge: WILLIAM C. KOCH, JR.
This appeal involves a dispute between a registered investment advisor and three of its clients regarding the investment advice the clients received from one of its agents. The clients filed suit against the advisor in the Chancery Court for Davidson County. The trial court dismissed the clients' Tennessee Consumer Protection Act claim for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. After excluding the testimony of the clients' financial expert, the trial court also granted the advisor a summary judgment dismissing the investors' claims based on common-law fraud and misrepresentation, negligence, and breach of fiduciary duty. The investors have appealed. We have determined that the trial court erred by dismissing the investors' Tennessee Consumer Protection Act claims, by excluding the testimony of the plaintiffs' expert, and by granting a summary judgment dismissing the investors' remaining claims. Accordingly, we vacate the orders and remand the case for further proceedings.
NICKELL, INC. v. NICK PSILLAS, ET AL.
Court: TCA
R. Francene Kavin, Brentwood, Tennessee, for the appellants, Nick Psillas, et al.
Thomas W. Hardin, Patrick M. Carter, for the appellee, Nickell, Inc.
Judge: PATRICIA J. COTTRELL
The trial court found venue on a contract claim resided in plaintiff's county on the theory that venue in an action to collect a debt is in the creditor's county. We reverse.
CHESTER B. OWENS, ET AL. v. TENNESSEE RURAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION, ET AL.
Court: TCA
Robert B. Littleton, Taylor B. Mayes and David L. Johnson, for the appellants, Tennessee Rural Health Improvement Association and BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee.
Mark L. Agee and Jason C. Scott, Trenton, Tennessee, for the appellees, Chester B. Owens and wife, Francine Owens.
Judge: DAVID R. FARMER
Plaintiffs filed this declaratory judgment action to determine whether their claims for insurance benefits were covered under their health insurance policy. Defendant insurance carrier asserted the policy of insurance was void where Plaintiffs' application for insurance contained material misrepresentations that increased the risk of loss. The trial court entered judgment for Plaintiffs and Defendants appeal. We affirm.
DOROTHY OWENS, As Conservator of MARY FRANCIS KING, an incapacitated person v. NATIONAL HEALTH CORPORATION, ET AL.
Court: TCA
John B. Curtis, Jr., Bruce D. Gill, Chattanooga, TN, for Appellants
Brian G. Brooks, Richard E. Circeo, Nashville, TN, for Appellee
Judge: ALAN E. HIGHERS
In this appeal, we are asked to determine whether the circuit court properly denied the defendants' motion to compel arbitration. The circuit court found that a patient's attorney-in-fact for health care decisions could not validly execute a nursing home admission contract containing an agreement to arbitrate on behalf of the patient. On appeal, the appellants contend that the attorney-in-fact could validly execute the admission contract on behalf of the patient based on the language of the durable power of attorney. The patient's conservator argues that signing a waiver of a jury trial is beyond the scope of the attorney-in-fact's authority. Additionally, the patient's conservator contends that, if the contract is valid, this Court should affirm the circuit court's decision because the agreement to arbitrate included within the admissions contract is unenforceable as a matter of law. We reverse and remand to the circuit court for the entry of an order compelling arbitration.
BENJAMIN WINANS v. DEBRA D. WINANS
Court: TCA
Mary Frances Lyle and Jeffrey L. Levy, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Debra D. Winans.
John D. Schwalb, Franklin, Tennessee, for the appellee, Benjamin Winans.
Judge: FRANK G. CLEMENT, JR.
Father filed this post-divorce petition seeking a change in custody and a temporary restraining order to prevent Mother from relocating to Texas with the children. Mother responded with a counter petition for relocation and contempt due to Father's failure to timely pay alimony and child support. The trial court denied Mother's request to relocate based on a finding the parties were spending substantially equal time with the children, and it was not in the children's best interest to relocate to Texas. It also denied Father's custody petition, found Father in contempt for failure to pay alimony and child support, and assessed attorney fees against Father. Both parties appeal. Finding the trial court placed too great an emphasis on one factor in denying relocation, we reverse the denial of Mother's petition to relocate. We affirm the trial court in all other respects.
STATE OF TENNESSEE v. GARY C. BULLINGTON
Court: TCCA
Charles Bobbitt, Jr., Hendersonville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Gary C. Bullington.
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter; Brent C. Cherry, Assistant Attorney General; Lawrence Ray Whitley, District Attorney General; and Lytle Anthony James, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: DAVID H. WELLES
The Defendant, Gary C. Bullington, was convicted upon a jury verdict of driving under the influence of an intoxicant ("DUI"); felony evading arrest; driving on a revoked license, ninth offense; and two counts of vehicular assault. For these convictions, the Defendant received an effective twenty-four-year sentence in the Department of Correction. In this appeal as of right, the Defendant presents a single issue for our review: whether the trial court properly denied his motion to suppress drug and alcohol test results due to the State's failure to preserve the blood sample taken from the Defendant following his arrest. After a review of the record, we conclude that the test results were admissible; however, finding plain error, double jeopardy principles require us to vacate the Defendant's DUI conviction. In all other respects, the judgments of the trial court are affirmed.
RICKY BUTLER v. STATE OF TENNESSEE
Court: TCCA
Dwight E. Scott, Nashville, Tennessee for the appellant, Ricky Butler.
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter; Brent C. Cherry, Assistant Attorney General; Mike Bottoms, District Attorney General; and Larry Nickell, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: JERRY L. SMITH
The petitioner pled guilty to two counts of aggravated sexual battery. He later filed a petition for post-conviction relief. The post-conviction court held a hearing on May 8, 2003. The court then entered an order on May 9, 2003 denying the petition. The petitioner filed a pro se notice of appeal over a year and a month later on June 17, 2004. We now dismiss the petitioner's appeal because the notice of appeal was filed outside of the thirty days required under Rule 4 of the Tennessee Rules of Appellate Procedure.
STATE OF TENNESSEE v. JAMES CASTILE
Court: TCCA
Roger E. Nell, District Public Defender, Clarksville, Tennessee, for the appellant, James Castile.
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General & Reporter; Brent C. Cherry, Assistant Attorney General; John Carney, District Attorney General, and Helen Young, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellant, State of Tennessee.
Judge: JERRY L. SMITH
The appellant, James Castile, was indicted with charges of manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell, possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver and criminal impersonation. Prior to trial, the trial court denied a motion to suppress the evidence which alleged that the evidence seized as a result of a search of his person and a search of his hotel room was unconstitutional. After a jury trial, the appellant was found guilty of manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of methamphetamine with the intent to deliver, simple possession of methamphetamine and criminal impersonation. At a sentencing hearing, the trial court disregarded the simple possession conviction as a lesser-included offense of the manufacturing and possession counts and sentenced the appellant as a Range II offender to an eight-year sentence for manufacturing methamphetamine, an eight-year sentence for possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver and a six-month probationary sentence for criminal impersonation. The trial court ordered the sentences to run concurrently to each other, but consecutively to a previously imposed sentence for which the appellant was on probation from the State of Kentucky. After the denial of a motion for new trial, the appellant filed a timely notice of appeal. On appeal, the appellant argues that: (1) the trial court erred in denying the motion to suppress; (2) the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict; (3) the trial court erred by sentencing the appellant as a Range II offender and; (4) the trial court erred by ordering the sentence to be served consecutively to the Kentucky sentence. For the following reasons, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
WILLIAM C. KELLEY v. STATE OF TENNESSEE
Court: TCCA
William C. Kelley, pro se, Clifton, Tennessee.
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter; Sophia S. Lee, Assistant Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: ROBERT W. WEDEMEYER
The Petitioner, William C. Kelley, appeals the trial court's dismissal of his motion to correct error in record. The State has filed a motion requesting that this Court affirm the trial court's denial of relief pursuant to Rule 20, Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals. We find the State's motion has merit. Accordingly, the motion is granted and the appeal is affirmed pursuant to Rule 20, Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals.
STATE OF TENNESSEE v. JOHN STERLING LEWIS
Court: TCCA
David Brady, Public Defender; John B. Nisbet, III, Assistant Public Defender (on appeal); and Joe L. Finley, Jr., Assistant Public Offender (at trial), Cookeville, Tennessee, for the Appellant, John Sterling Lewis.
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter; David E. Coenen, Assistant Attorney General; William E. Gibson, District Attorney General; and Marty S. Savage, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: DAVID G. HAYES
The Appellant, John Sterling Lewis, was convicted by a White County jury of driving under the influence ("DUI"), first offense. Following a sentencing hearing, the trial court imposed a sentence of eleven months and twenty-nine days, requiring service of six months in jail, and further ordered that the sentence was to be served at 100% before Lewis was eligible for work release, furlough, trusty status, or rehabilitative programs. On appeal, Lewis raises three issues for our review: (1) whether the evidence is sufficient to support the conviction; (2) whether the court imposed an excessive sentence by ordering six months confinement, by requiring 100% service, and by ordering that the sentence be served consecutively to an outstanding Cumberland County DUI sentence; and (3) whether the court had the authority to require Lewis to continue to report to the trial court for purposes of a status report notwithstanding his appeal of the case. Following review, the judgment of conviction and the six-month sentence are affirmed. However, because the trial court failed to make findings of fact with regard to consecutive sentencing, we remand the case to the trial court for a determination of whether consecutive sentencing is warranted in this case.
STATE OF TENNESSEE v. SANTOS MACARENA
Court: TCCA
Santos Macarena, Tiptonville, Tennessee, Pro Se.
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter; Leslie Price, Assistant Attorney General; William C. Whitesell, Jr., District Attorney General; and Jennings H. Jones, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: JOSEPH M. TIPTON
The defendant, Santos Macarena, pled guilty in the Rutherford County Circuit Court to one count of possession with the intent to deliver more than 300 grams of cocaine, a Class A felony, and the trial court sentenced him in an amended judgment of conviction to serve fifteen years as a Range I, standard offender in the Department of Correction. The defendant's amended judgment of conviction states that the defendant "agrees to waive any and all appeal &/or post conviction relief issues." The defendant, pro se, appeals his conviction, claiming that the state improperly pursued his case, that the state ignored a third-party confession, that the trial court erred in failing to suppress the evidence, and that his attorney's performance was constitutionally deficient. We conclude the trial court lacked jurisdiction to enter an amended judgment of conviction, and we remand the case to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
MARK J. METZ v . STATE OF TENNESSEE
Court: TCCA
Mark J. Metz, Pro Se, Nashville, Tennessee.
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter; Brent C. Cherry, Assistant Attorney General; Victor S. Johnson, III, District Attorney General; and Dan Hamm, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: JERRY L. SMITH
In December of 2004, the petitioner pled guilty to attempted especially aggravated robbery and aggravated robbery. On May 25, 2005, the petitioner filed a timely petition for post-conviction relief. By order on June 13, 2005, the post-conviction court denied the petition without appointing counsel or holding an evidentiary hearing. The petitioner appeals arguing that the post-conviction court should have held a hearing. The State concedes that the petitioner is correct. We agree as well. We reverse the decision of the post-conviction court and remand for further proceedings in accordance with this opinion.
STATE OF TENNESSEE v. JERRY JEROME PRIMM
Court: TCCA
Michael Colavecchio, Nashville, Tennessee, for the Appellant, Jerry Jerome Primm.
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General & Reporter; Preston Shipp, Assistant Attorney General; Victor S. Johnson, III, District Attorney General; and James Todd, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: JAMES CURWOOD WITT, JR.
A Davidson County jury convicted the defendant, Jerry Jerome Primm, of second degree murder, especially aggravated kidnapping, and felony murder, for which he received an effective sentence of life imprisonment plus twenty years. Aggrieved that his convictions were unsupported by sufficient evidence and that his sentences were erroneous, he now brings the instant appeal. We affirm.
LEON J. ROBINS v. STATE OF TENNESSEE
Court: TCCA
Wendy S. Tucker, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Leon J. Robins.
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter; Elizabeth B. Marney, Senior Counsel; Victor S. (Torry) Johnson, III, District Attorney General; and Bret Thomas Gunn, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: JOSEPH M. TIPTON
The petitioner, Leon J. Robins, appeals the Davidson County Criminal Court's dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief from his conviction for first degree premeditated murder and resulting sentence of life imprisonment. On appeal, the petitioner claims that he received the ineffective assistance of counsel, that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to enter the judgment, that the trial court erred in denying the petitioner's trial attorney's motion to withdraw, that the trial court erred in denying the petitioner his right to testify in his own defense, that the trial court erred in allowing prejudicial and irrelevant testimony into evidence, that he was the victim of prosecutorial misconduct, and that the trial court erred in instructing the jury. We affirm the trial court's dismissal of the petition.
STATE OF TENNESSEE v. MILLARD E. SMITH
Court: TCCA
Ross E. Alderman, District Public Defender; and Emma Rae Tennent (on appeal), Amy Harwell and Katie Weiss (at trial), Assistant Public Defenders, for the appellant, Millard E. Smith.
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter; Elizabeth B. Marney, Senior Counsel; Victor S. (Torry) Johnson, III, District Attorney General; and Pamela Anderson and Dumaka Shabazz, Assistant District Attorneys General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: JOHN EVERETT WILLIAMS
Millard E. Smith, the defendant, was indicted and stood trial on one count of aggravated rape. A jury convicted the defendant on the lesser included offense of rape (Class B felony). The defendant was sentenced as a repeat, violent offender to life without parole. He now appeals his conviction, asserting that the evidence was insufficient to convict. After review, we conclude the evidence was overwhelming and affirm the judgment of conviction.
REESE L. SMITH JR. v. STATE OF TENNESSEE
Court: TCCA
Reese L. Smith, Jr., Springfield, Tennessee, Pro se.
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter; Jennifer L. Bledsoe, Assistant Attorney General; John W. Carney Jr., District Attorney General; Dent Morriss, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: ROBERT W. WEDEMEYER
The Defendant, Reese L. Smith Jr., was convicted of two counts of impersonating a licensed professional, and the trial court sentenced him to concurrent sentences of two years for each count to be served on probation. On appeal, the Defendant seemingly contends that the evidence is insufficient to sustain his convictions. Finding that there exists no reversible error, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
STATE OF TENNESSEE v. ROY D. WAKEFIELD
Court: TCCA
Dale M. Quillen and Kenneth Quillen, Nashville, Tennessee (on appeal); and Glenn R. Funk, Nashville, Tennessee (at trial), for the appellant, Roy D. Wakefield.
Paul G. Summers, Attorney General and Reporter; Elizabeth B. Marney, Senior Counsel; Ronald L. Davis, District Attorney General; and Mary Katharine White, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: JOSEPH M. TIPTON
A Williamson County Circuit Court jury convicted the defendant, Roy D. Wakefield, of rape of a child, a Class A felony. The trial court sentenced him to serve twenty-three years at one hundred percent in the Department of Correction. On appeal, the defendant contends (1) that the evidence was insufficient, (2) that the trial court erred in commenting on the credibility of the victim, (3) that the trial court erred in allowing an unrelated hearing to interrupt the trial, (4) that the trial court erred in allowing a witness to testify about her conclusions about marks on the victim, (5) that the trial court erred in refusing to answer the jury's question on the ranges of punishment, and (6) that the trial court erred in rushing the jury to reach a verdict. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.

Parkinson's Patients May Retain Independence Using Google Glass
Enid Burns for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online
Researchers as Newcastle University in the UK are studying how Google Glass can be used as an assistive aid to help people with Parkinson's disease -- the wearable technology might help patients retain their independence.University researchers received five pairs of Google Glass as a donation from Google. The wearables allow researchers to test how people with long-term health conditions can use Glass. The University's Digital Interaction Group in Culture Lab, a part of the School of Computing Science, has been working with a group of Parkinson's volunteers between the ages of 46 and 70.
The research team initially focused on Glass acceptability within the group. Now that that focus has been met, the team is using the technology to provide discreet prompts linked to key behaviors typical of Parkinson's. Glass is being used to remind patients to speak up, or to swallow in order to prevent drooling. The wearable device is also being used to serve reminder messages for a patient to take medication, or in advance of appointments.
The study was led by Dr. John Vines, PhD, student Roisin McNaney and Dr. Ivan Paliakov. Findings will be presented at the ACM Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) 2014 conference, which is taking place later this month in Toronto, Canada.
"Glass opens up a new space for exploring the design and development of wearable systems," explains Dr Vines, in a statement from the University. Dr. Vines and his colleagues in Culture Lab are working on a number of projects investigating how technology can be used to support people in everyday life.
The group at Newcastle University are also looking into how the motion sensors on Glass can help people with Parkinson's who exhibit a "freezing" behavior, which is caused by motor blocking. The researchers believe Glass might be able to trigger the motor back into action.
Researchers are also building apps that address the needs of Parkinson's patients.
"It is very early days – Glass is such new technology we are still learning how it might be used but the beauty of this research project is we are designing the apps and systems for Glass in collaboration with the users so the resulting applications should exactly meet their needs," said Dr. Vines. "What was really encouraging from this early study was how well our volunteers took to the wearable technology and the fact that they could see the potential in it."
A number of health-related applications have been identified for Google Glass. The wearable device can assist people with various conditions by allowing them to complete tasks that are otherwise difficult, or help change behaviors or send reminders to help patients stay on their treatment regimen.
In the UK more than 120,000 people suffer from Parkinson's disease, the Daily Mail reports.
It is estimated that in the United States between 50,000 and 60,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, according to the National Parkinson Foundation.
The use of Google Glass to aid in treatment and allow patients to remain independent is a marked improvement in quality of life for Parkinson's patients.

text: This is just a heads-up that I've added some extra functionality to the logic which recognises package names. The changes add recognition of "rc" for "release candidate", and "pl" for "patch level", and use 64-bit integer arrays internally when comparing two version numbers. In addition, alphabetic characters should now be sorted properly. For those of you familiar with the vtest functionality, aliases and behaviour have been removed, but the rest has been brought over. I don't anticipate any problems, but, if there are any, please use send-pr in the usual way. Regards, Alistair PS. The log message is as follows: Pull in a much simplified version of the vtest functionality. This new functionality adds recognition of '_' and "pl" as pseudonyms for '.', so that 1.2p2 == 1.2.2, and adds recognition of "pl" and "rc" strings, which stand for "patchlevel" and "release candidate" respectively. In addition, this version should handle alphabetic characters properly (so that 1.2e == 1.2.5) Normal NetBSD revision number processing has been retained (and is always compared after all other tests have been performed). 64-bit integers are used internally for each component of the version number.

I love riding my bike. It's not a dream bike, but it will do for now. I love the feel of sun and wind on my skin. I like to ride fast. I sometimes have the impression I am almost defying gravity. I like to smile when I ride my bike. I shock everyone by smiling at them. I am smiling at everyone and no one in particular–I am smiling at the world, life, myself. Riding my bike has helped me overcome a debilitating fear of driving a car. Now I love it and drive with a smile! Such a miracle for me to be driving and thanks to my bike. What other blessings are in store for me while I ride my bicycle?
I like wearing nice things while I bike. Not exactly skirts–they reveal too much when I'm speeding, but a nice shirt, nice jewelry, stylish shorts, effortless yet cute hairstyle. Do you ride a bike? What do you usually wear? What is your definition of cycle chic?
Happy Friday Everyone and Smiles,
This is my dream bike–in white and with a basket, looking elegant and casual at the same time. And retro.

NFL Draft 2013: Total Coverage Guide and Position RankingsApril 25, 2013
The 2013 NFL draft is a big deal, and football-starved fans around the USA are eager to see what their favorite team will do to improve its roster for next season.
With so much demand, the coverage for this event has gotten more and more comprehensive over the years, and these days dedicated fans don't have to worry about missing any of the action.
Whether you're in the comfort of your own home, at work or convening with friends at your local sports bar, you can find the draft at your fingertips.
The Kansas City Chiefs own the No. 1 pick of this year's draft, and Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk reports that they will take Eric Fisher, an offensive tackle from Central Michigan.
The Indianapolis Colts own the final pick of the draft, No. 254—otherwise known as Mr. Irrelevant.
From start to finish, NFL general managers treat each selection as if it were the No. 1 pick of the draft. While it's true that many of the NFL's top players are selected early, there's always diamonds in the rough found in the latter rounds.
Here's what you need to know to make sure you don't miss a minute of this year's festivities.
Round 1: Thursday, April 25 at 8 p.m. ET
Round 2 and Round 3: Friday, April 26 at 6:30 p.m. ET
Round 4-Round 7: Saturday, April 27 at 12 p.m. ET
TV and Live Stream
TV: NFL Network and ESPN
Live Stream: NFL.com
Player Rankings
Player rankings are a subjective thing. Every scout, analyst and general manager has a different idea about where prospects fit on these rankings.
These rankings are my own, and I encourage you to agree or disagree with them in the comments section below.
This year's draft isn't strong on elite talent at this position.
For that matter, there isn't any consensus about how the top signal-callers stack up, though Geno Smith is viewed as the top quarterback by most experts.
That doesn't mean we won't see this class end up producing top-quality starters, however. All it means is that we aren't likely to see three rookies take teams to the playoffs in 2013.
- Geno Smith, West Virginia
- Matt Barkley, USC
- E.J. Manuel, Florida State
- Mike Glennon, North Carolina State
- Ryan Nassib, Syracuse
Running Back
There are some excellent running backs in this year's draft class, but nobody will be surprised if none of them are drafted in the first round.
Most experts view Eddie Lacy out of Alabama as this year's top back, but I have a different take on the matter.
Le'Veon Bell out of Michigan State has caught my eye as a power back with underrated elusiveness and excellent hands. He's a Steven Jackson clone and a three-down back who will be highly productive as a rookie.
- Le'Veon Bell, Michigan State
- Eddie Lacy, Alabama
- Jonathan Franklin, UCLA
- Montee Ball, Wisconsin
- Giovani Bernard, North Carolina
One of the most underutilized positions in the NFL these days, fullbacks are a dying breed. Many teams are utilizing two-tight-end sets these days, but there are still enough teams that feature power-rushing attacks to keep this position relevant.
- Kyle Juszczyk, Harvard
- Lonnie Pryor, Florida State
- Zach Line, Southern Methodist
- Tommy Bohanon, Wake Forest
- Kyler Reed, Nebraska
Wide Receiver
There's no shortage of talented receivers in this year's class.
Teams will find productive players after the first round, and it shouldn't be a shock to see a few prospects drafted in the fourth round or later become integral players for their new teams as rookies.
- DeAndre Hopkins, Clemson
- Tavon Austin, West Virginia
- Cordarrelle Patterson, Tennessee
- Justin Hunter, Tennessee
- Keenan Allen, California
Tight End
Tight ends have really emerged as big weapons in today's NFL.
Rob Gronkowski, Vernon Davis, Jimmy Graham and Tony Gonzalez are elite weapons for their respective teams, and there are a few players in this year's draft who could quickly become as effective.
- Tyler Eifert, Notre Dame
- Zach Ertz, Stanford
- Vance McDonald, Rice
- Travis Kelce, Cincinnati
- Gavin Escobar, San Diego State
Offensive Tackle
Every team that possesses an elite quarterback knows the value of an elite left tackle. Either they have one on their roster who keeps the quarterback healthy or they don't, which often leads to injured signal-callers (Jay Cutler, Ben Roethlisberger).
This year's class is led by three elite left tackle prospects—all of whom could easily be selected in the first five picks of the draft.
Eric Fisher and Luke Joeckel are both about as good as it gets in terms of college prospects, and there's absolutely no consensus about who will be the better pro.
- Luke Joeckel, Texas A&M
- Eric Fisher, Central Michigan
- Lane Johnson, Oklahoma
- D.J. Fluker, Alabama
- Menelik Watson, Florida State
Offensive Guard
There are two elite guard prospects in this year's class—both of whom could potentially be selected in the first 10 picks. It's rare that even one guard would be selected that early, and the fact that both are being viewed as potential top-10 picks shows how good they really are.
Chance Warmack and Jonathan Cooper are different players. Warmack has a higher rating on my big board, but Cooper may be the first guard selected due to his skill set as a pass-blocker.
- Chance Warmack, Alabama
- Jonathan Cooper, North Carolina
- Larry Warford, Kentucky
- Kyle Long, Oregon
- Brian Winters, Kent State
This year's class is devoid of a first-round center.
That doesn't mean quality starters won't be found, but there isn't a single player to compare to Mike or Maurkice Pouncey.
- Brian Schwenke, California
- Barrett Jones, Alabama
- Travis Frederick, Wisconsin
- Khaled Holmes, USC
- Braxton Cave, Notre Dame
Defensive Tackle
Along with offensive tackles, defensive tackles are a hot commodity in this year's draft.
These big men control the line of scrimmage on running plays, and the best defensive tackles are adept at pushing the pocket and shooting gaps on passing downs.
Many experts see Sharrif Floyd out of Florida as this year's top defensive tackle, but he's too inconsistent for my taste to occupy the top spot.
- Star Lotulelei, Utah
- Sharrif Floyd, Florida
- Sheldon Richardson, Missouri
- Sylvester Williams, North Carolina
- Jesse Williams, Alabama
Defensive End
There are many defensive ends in this draft who are being considered as potential 3-4 outside linebacker converts. For the purpose of this column, I'll separate the two positions according to how I see the players fitting into the NFL.
- Ezekiel Ansah, BYU
- Tank Carradine, Florida State
- Bjoern Werner, Florida State
- Damontre Moore, Texas A&M
- Alex Okafor, Texas
3-4 Outside Linebacker
Every team that runs a 3-4 scheme is looking for the next Aldon Smith.
There are a few players with the potential to emerge as superstars who will surely be selected early, but all of them have an equal chance of turning out as busts in the NFL.
- Dion Jordan, Oregon
- Barkevious Mingo, LSU
- Jarvis Jones, Georgia
- Jamie Collins, Southern Mississippi
- Corey Lemonier, Auburn
4-3 Outside Linebacker
Just as every team running a 3-4 scheme wants to find another Aldon Smith, teams that run a 4-3 are looking for the next Von Miller.
Speed, instincts and athleticism are the chief attributes that teams are looking for, and these players have them in spades.
- Arthur Brown, Kansas State
- Sio Moore, Connecticut
- John Bostic, Florida
- Khaseem Greene, Rutgers
- John Simon, Ohio State
Inside Linebacker
Inside linebackers are typically leaders who are adept at communicating. They must also be phenomenal athletes who can fly from sideline to sideline, attack the line of scrimmage, shed blocks and drop back into coverage on passing downs.
There are some excellent inside linebackers in this year's class, but none of them are likely to be selected before the second half of Round 1.
- Alec Ogletree, Georgia
- Kevin Minter, LSU
- Manti Te'o, Notre Dame
- Kiko Alonso, Oregon
- A.J. Klein, Iowa State
This year's cornerback is loaded with potential superstars, but there's not much consensus about when they will be drafted.
Dee Milliner is considered to be the top corner in this year's draft by most experts, but recently D.J. Hayden out of Houston has been singled out by a few scouts—including NFL.com's Mike Mayock.
- Dee Milliner, Alabama
- D.J. Hayden, Houston
- Xavier Rhodes, Florida State
- Desmond Trufant, Washington
- Jamar Taylor, Boise State
The last line of defense, teams with top safeties usually feature excellent defenses.
These men must be phenomenal athletes who are capable of covering a lot of ground on the back end in a hurry, but they must also be skilled at making plays at the line of scrimmage.
- Kenny Vaccaro, Texas
- Matt Elam, Florida
- John Cyprien, Florida International
- D.J. Swearinger, South Carolina
- Eric Reid, LSU
Kickers are often scorned by fans, and it's hard to look at most of them in street clothes and picture an NFL player.
That said, many a game is lost or won based on how these men perform under pressure.
- Dustin Hopkins, Florida State
- Caleb Sturgis, Florida
- Brett Maher, Nebraska
- Anthony Cantele, Kansas State
- Zach Brown, Portland State
Nobody loves watching their favorite team punt.
That said, the teams with the best punters usually end up with excellent average field position, which is a critical aspect of playing winning football.
These guys are important, even if you cringe every time your head coach motions for the punter to come onto the field.
- Jeff Locke, UCLA
- Quinn Sharp, Oklahoma State
- Ryan Allen, Louisiana Tech
- Brad Wing, LSU
- Bobby Cowan, Idaho

YouTube- Chi Energy Amazing Footage
For some reason I decided to youtube chi power. I came across this video and thought it was crazy. But the paper thing is interesting (1:50 - 2:28)
Anyone know how this trick would of been pulled off?
Chi demo by John Chang's student - No BS MMA and Martial Arts
Authentic chi demonstration? - No BS MMA and Martial Arts
It looks like the jury is still out on John Chang, but Randi says the tricks are common-place.
http://www.dreamlandmagic.com/flash-paper.html and a small gadget will do it. I notice the paper does not ignite until his hand thrusts quite close to it.
How sure are you that the paper he ignited was an ordinary newspaper, not switched by sleight of hand, or by a confederate shortly before the demonstration took place?
Or that they had not printed a copy of the newspaper ONTO some flash paper?
Not saying they did, just another way it could have been done.
Honestly, what part of that footage seems like anything but yet another magic trick?
It's not carried out under controlled conditions.
The filmmakers appear to be not only utterly credulous about the chi practicioner's powers, but have been striving to get him on camera since the early 1980's.
They only recently got his permission to film him, presumably when they allowed sufficiently loose conditions that he figured out a way to fool them.
He is in close proximity to the paper when it lights, and may even have been able to touch it. Before that moment of possible contact, he had plenty of time to spray it with a little lighter fluid.
No magician or other expert in detecting deception is present.
The only provable differences between a magic trick and this video are two:
- Legitimate magicians make no explicit claims of paranormal ability.
- A magician could have done this trick ten times more awesomely. From across the room. Under conditions that would challenge anyone but a fellow magician to explain.
Also, the title of this thread makes it sound like (to me, before actually opening the thread) like somehow a Chi master has left a .. uhh.. "mess" on the carpet. Folow this with the mental image of said Chi mater being smacked across the nose witha roled up newspaper.. "Bad Chi Master, BAD!"
yes well anyway
Well I'm calling bullshit, at 4:48 if that doesn't look like a sleight of hand then I don't know what is. If his chi is real, then why would he need to do that?

McAfee anti-virus enables employee monitoring
Big Brother signs your pay cheque, after all
Network Associates anti-virus division McAfee has decided to stop scanning for a Trojan called NetBus Pro, made by UltraAccess Networks, which allows a third party to invade and take complete control over someone else's computer.
Little more than a dressed-up hacker's toy, the NetBus Trojan is euphemistically called a "remote administration tool" by its maker. It enables a remote 'administrator' to do anything s/he wishes on a target machine with considerable stealth.
These invasive activities include logging the user's key strokes, taking regular screen shots of whatever the user is viewing, retrieving their cached passwords, examining browser bookmarks, perusing e-mail messages and address books, activating the victim's microphone and Web-cam without their knowledge and intercepting their signals, and viewing, editing, executing, uploading or deleting files.
NetBus is a favourite toy of malicious hackers and script kiddies because of its economical price ($15) and ease of use. A GUI and HTTP support enable any pitiful lamer who can operate a Web browser to use the tool. The NetBus server can be joined to another file and fed to a victim over the Internet as a Trojan.
Beyond malicious hacking and mischievous pranks, the only conceivable use for a Trojan like this is to enable employers to monitor their employees' use of company machines. This surveillance could easily extend to laptops, which can be monitored whenever the user connects to the Internet or a company intranet.
It would appear that McAfee wishes to cooperate with the efforts of employers to monitor computer use surreptitiously. Previously, the anti-virus software would warn a user that their computer was infected with the NetBus Trojan, as well as its notorious cousins, Back Orifice and Sub7.
McAfee customers can no longer rely on the software to discover if their machines are infected.
For UltraAccess the issue is fairness. Not fairness to computer users, but fairness in selling spyware. Because there exist other applications which enable similar invasions of privacy, and which are not detected by anti-virus software, UltraAccess feels it should profit from this loathsome practice as well.
"There are many other software programs of similar nature that are not scanned for," UltraAccess CEO Judd Spence said in a press release. "NetBus Pro is a totally legitimate remote administration tool and at only $15 a copy, it's less than one-tenth the price of some of our big-name competitors such as PCAnywhere from Symantec."
McAfee "recently repealed its unjust ban of NetBus Pro 2.10," UltraAccess says. "With the recent... decision, we would like to move forward with other anti-virus companies and begin developing solid working relationships with them as well."
It is advisable for those who use workplace computers, whether desktop or laptop, to acquaint themselves with all known 'remote administration tools' and either disable them, or, at a minimum, be extremely cautious when using Big Brother's machines.
The Register contacted both UltraAccess and McAfee asking them to explain why a computer user might not wish to be alerted to the presence of a hidden server. Neither replied. ®

Force Measurement Enabling Precise Analysis by Dynamic Force Spectroscopy
AbstractDynamic force spectroscopy (DFS) makes it possible to investigate specific interactions between two molecules such as ligand-receptor pairs at the single-molecule level. In the DFS method based on the Bell-Evans model, the unbinding force applied to a molecular bond is increased at a constant rate, and the force required to rupture the molecular bond is measured. By analyzing the relationship between the modal rupture force and the logarithm of the loading rate, microscopic potential barrier landscapes and the lifetimes of bonds can be obtained. However, the results obtained, for example, in the case of streptavidin/biotin complexes, have differed among previous studies and some results have been inconsistent with theoretical predictions. In this study, using an atomic force microscopy technique that enables the precise analysis of molecular interactions on the basis of DFS, we investigated the effect of the sampling rate on DFS analysis. The shape of rupture force histograms, for example, was significantly deformed at a sampling rate of 1 kHz in comparison with that of histograms obtained at 100 kHz, indicating the fundamental importance of ensuring suitable experimental conditions for further advances in the DFS method.

Cloris Leachman Stunned To Learn She Won't Play Frau Blucher (Whinny) In 'Frankenstein' Musical
Beloved Brooksian muse Cloris Leachman, who, with the exception perhaps of a double Golden Girls sighting, has been clinically proven to be most effective at eliciting squeals of approval from gay men over the age of 45, has been dealt the lowest of blows by the unkind business we call show. Reports Variety's veteran entertainment reporter Army "Hollywood's Original Blogger" Archerd:
A heartbroken Cloris Leachman says she's not to play Frau Blucher in Mel Brooks' musicalized "Young Frankenstein."
Cloris reports she was given that word in a letter from director Susan Stroman ("The Producers"). "I was told they don't want to go like the movie" — in which Cloris created the Frau Blucher character in 1974.
Cloris was invited to N.Y. to audition. She thought they loved her. Then came the note from Stroman.
It certainly seems an injustice that the actress—who's still breaking Emmy and beer-chugging records well into her 80s—should be passed over by producers who "want to take Blücher in a different direction" (read: younger and less scary to horses). The web-savvy, pro-Phyllis forces at SaveFrauBlucher.com, however, have already harnessed the powers of the internets to register their outrage. Certainly, if a Jericho peanut-shipping drive can resuscitate a network drama, a similar campaign inundating Frankenstein producers with crates of a significance-laden foodstuffs should be enough to work. Some varm milk... perhaps? Ovaltine?

Director Marc Webb has been pretty great about Tweeting pictures from the set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 that don't actually reveal very much but also playfully tease the franchises fans with the ideas of Venom and the Sinister Six. It's safe to say that the object of his Tweets are to provide us with as much information that will keep us excited without actually telling us anything about what's happening with the plot, other than the involvement of umpteen villains.
On Wednesday night, Webb Tweeted a photo of Spider-Man himself, Andrew Garfield, with editor Pietro Scalia and the jovial message, "Andrew Garfield kindly showing editor Pietro Scalia how it's done." Haha, that's great, you guys. But wait… what's that on the wall above the monitors? Is that a poster of Jamie Foxx as Electro?
Oh Marc Webb, you scoundrel.
Of course it could also just be some random poster of a comic book character image, but where's the needless hype in that?

November 2012 John Weeks Integrator Round-up covering the topics of: Policy, Business, Integrative Centers, Academics, Natural Products, Professions, and People
Fortune 500 firm Parker-Hannifin CEO pumps "alternative medicine" as a solution to the health crisis
On October 30, 2012, CFO Magazine published the first of a two part series entitled "A Solution to Our Country's Big Healthcare Problem?" The subhead provides the answer from Parker Hannifin's CEO Don Washkewicz: "One Fortune 500 CEO thinks covering alternative medicine techniques and therapies is the right course for both workers' health and the bottom line." Washkewicz's wake-up to medical alternatives came via a personal positive experience from removal of mercury fillings. In a subsequent investigation, he found that 70% of his workers' caries were being filled with mercury. Said Washkewicz: "We're poisoning our workforce, paying for it up front, then paying again later for the chronic conditions that result from being poisoned." He began promoting a CAM-rich benefits plan. The article lists 23 different types of a-typical treatments Parker Hannifin covers, including chelation therapy and bio-identical hormone therapy. Says observer Ken Pelletier, PhD, MD (hc): "Parker Hannifin is a big outlier, and in fact probably unique in its breadth of coverage."
According to the article, the employer's 8-year-old CAM program has grown from 27,000 services performed in fiscal 2009 to 46,000 in 2010, 78,000 in 2011, and 102,000 in 2012. The company has not tracked details on cost impacts but has found in the one corporate unit with the most tracking of such services that annual per-employee medical costs have sunk by more than half since 2007, from $6,500 then to $3,200 in fiscal 2012. The firm does not know what portion, if any, may be attributable to the alternative medicine benefit, but likes the trend. Says Washkewicz: "It's early days, but we're going to aggregate this and show the payoff in lower costs. And then we're going to publicize the hell out of it."
Comment: "Alternative medicine" – and for Washkewicz it clear that it is an alternative to what his employees would conventionally be receiving from their medical doctors that he is promoting – may have found its most important champion. A Fortune 500 employer may be just the right figure to lead "CAM" out of the wilderness. (Thanks to Integrator adviser Glenn Sabin, see below, for the link.)
Glenn Sabin: Self-insured employers and integrative medicine are a "perfect marriage"
Integrative center consultant, blogger and sometimes Integrator contributor Glenn Sabin makes a case for the strange bedfellows of self-insured employers and integrative medicine centers and practitioners with his post "Self-Insured Employers and Integrative Medicine: The Perfect Marriage." Sabin links to initiatives on cost contributions from these services as he argues first for the case for employer attention to integrative and then turns around and makes the case for attention from integrative center operators to work directly with employers. Sabin notes that despite the apparent value, that "while growing during this transitional period for all of US healthcare, the uptake of integrative health and wellness approaches by employers and healthcare providers has been spotty." Sabin projects a change: "As a practical matter, practitioners who believe their therapeutic and clinical services belong in wellness programs are now positioned to take the initiative. Those who can articulate the health and cost benefits are likely to find a receptive audience among self-insured businesses who are taking the initiative to control their health care costs by improving the health and productivity of their employees."
Comment: Tying the knot between integrative medicine's heart-centered, soft-bellied practitioners and big business's profit-centered, hardline operators would seem to present the worst of cross-cultural challenges to an enduring marriage. Long-time readers of the Integrator will know that this marriage of strange bedfellows has been hoped for, nee planned for, editorially, in the way that a mother might wish that a child will "marry well." (Just plug IHPM for Institute for Health and Productivity management, a former Integrator sponsor, into the Integrator search function. Here is one example.) The reason? The spouse-apparent from next door, conventional healthcare delivery, has proved to too often be a wolf in sheep's clothing, organized as it has been around doing more of whatever that will best turn the spigots. This is not a "CAM" assertion. This is Paul Grundy, MD, MPH, from IBM, calling them "a milking machine" at a recent Institution of Medicine workshop reported here.
"Trillionaire Wellness Industry" highlighted with alternative medicine projected to reach $115-billion in 2015
An article entitled "Trillionaire wellness industry: Healthy wealthy and wise" explores the size of the emerging wellness market. The centerpiece of the posting is a recent McKinsey and Company report that calls wellness "a demographic sweet spot of enormous potential." Notably, the McKinsey version of the title inserts (maybe) before "wise". A chunk of the global growth is expected from the Chinese economy where on average person spent about $60 on health and wellness, a 10th of what an average Canadian spent ($580). Chinese expenditures are expected to rise 13% from from 2006-2015. The author cites a report on the Global Alternative Medicine Industry that projects alternative medicine expenditures to reach $115-billion by 2015. One factor of importance to the trend appeared to have needed no reference at all: "Life, not science, is showing that prevention, education and relaxation, which are a significant part of a holistic discipline, are actually cost effective!"
Comment: Ever since the publication of Cultural Creatives and the founding of the LOHAS movement, people have sought to quantify the dollars in health and wellness. LOHAS has estimated the market at $290-billion today. Dollars for "alternative medicine" look big but even at $115-billion in 2015 are less than 4% of the $2.8-trillion sick-care industry of 2012. We have a ways to go to create a truly thriving industry of health creation that will prove transformational.
Samueli Institute and Herman partner for book on Evaluating the Economics of Complementary and Integrative Medicine
"Money may not make the world go round, but in our growing environment of fiscal restraint it is getting increasing focus by everyone." With these words Samueli Institute's president Wayne Jonas, MD kicks off a notice to the Institute's list of a new publication developed via a partnership with Patricia Herman, MS, ND, PhD. Herman, who recently had the lead on a landmark article on cost-effectiveness in complementary and integrative medicine, has authored a book entitled Evaluating the Economics of Complementary and Integrative Medicine. The 100 page booklet is meant to instruct others in how to do these studies. Herman, a senior fellow at the Samueli Institute, is also senior behavior scientist in the health division of the RAND Corporation. The book is available at Amazon.com for $15.95. Adds Jonas: "We hope that this book and these initial published findings about the cost savings of integrative practices will stimulate both the quantity and quality of such research. The future of our children's health and the sustainability of our health care system may depend on finding more of these types of treatments."
Comment: First, credit Jonas and the Samueli Institute for pushing this useful tool out into the world. If NIH NCCAM began to consider this little text their guiding light, my best guess is that no one would be questioning the value of the agency, chips fall where they may, after the next decade as the agency has been challenged after its first. Herman describes the strategies for getting at what the real world wants to know, as reported in the related stories in this Round-up.
Jill's List employer initiative promotes partnership with Huddleston's Prepare for Surgery as big money saver
In another in a series of unusual partnerships, Jill's List has announced a partnership with Peggy Huddleston and the
"doctors, nurses and other healthcare practitioners who are trained and certified in Prepare for Surgery, Heal FasterTM." Under the initiative, practitioners are listed on Jill's List for free, "making it easy for consumers, employees and referring practitioners to find a trained professional." Jill Shah, the founder of the firm, points to savings that health system research has associated with the mind-body program. In one study, those using the program had 1.6 fewer hospital stays, for a $3200 average savings. The relationship with Huddleston is part of a new Jill's List product for employers called JL Corporate Wellness. Says Huddleston: "Jill's List is a visionary partner who will help make many more patients aware of Prepare for Surgery, Heal FasterTM and connect them with a certified instructor."
Health promotion leader Michael O'Donnell chosen to head Michigan center
The next director of the influential Health Management Resource Center at the University of Michigan School of Kinesiology will be headed by health promotion leader Michael O'Donnell, PhD, MBA, MPH according to this release. O'Donnell, an activist and organizer, is the author of the leading text on workplace health promotion, the founder and editor of the American Journal of Health Promotion and the founder of Health Promotion Advocates. The Michigan Center was founded by Dee Eddington, PhD, a independent and outspoken employer health and wellness leader.
Comment: O'Donnell participated in the 2001 Integrative Medicine Industry Leadership Summit. While new to the field, he found himself quite taken with the health-focused energy and the preventive underpinnings of the emerging field. O'Donnell could prove an exceptional ally in supporting the "perfect marriage" Sabin (and this writer) have recommended.

National Business Coalition on Health: chiropractic presents on the addition of DCs, LAcs and PTs to medical home
The Cisco Systems firm in the Silicon Valley has been experimenting with chiropractors and other licensed "CAM" services in its onsite medical home clinic. At the November 12-14, 2012 conference of the National Business Coalition on Health, chiropractor Bill Updyke, DC, the leader for physical and complementary medicine at Cisco's LifeConnections Health Center will be presenting, as he shared in an email, on "what happens at an onsite clinic medical home when you add acupuncture, chiropractic and physical therapy to the medical practice." He will be part of a session called "On‐Site Health Clinics: Break the Financial and Clinical Burdens." The session is listed in the agenda as sponsored via the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress.
California Institute for Integral Studies promotes employee wellness certification
A note from Meg Jordan, PhD, RN, CWP to her list via the California Institute for Integral Studies (CIIS), urged people to take advantage of a training from the National Wellness Institute to become a Certified Worksite Wellness Specialist (CWWS) or a Certified Worksite Wellness Program Manager (CWWPM). The programs, held in San Francisco in early November, "focus(ed) on the importance of changing the organizational culture to ensure long-term results and use the most current information and research in the field." Says Jordan, the department chair for Integative Health Studies for CIIS: "Whether you are new to worksite wellness or a seasoned professional, you will discover innovative ways to engage employees and enhance corporate wellness programs, all while earning a certification from a well respected non-profit organization."
Comment: I include this segment to underscore the point made in the previous short articles in this section: the web of connectivity between integrative health, economics and corporate health is thickening. Notably, Jordan has been intimately involved with effort to mature the health coaching field which links to the subject of the report from Oregon in the policy segment of this Round-up.

"To Cure Health Care, We Must Think Bigger, Much Bigger" – another CFO promotion of CAM corporate exploration
Just prior to publication of this Round-up, Glenn Sabin sent an additional link to post inside a CFO Magazine which targets the Chief Financial Officers of the nation's largest organizations. The article, "To Cure Health Care, We Must Think Bigger, Much Bigger", included notice that the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation recently "indicted the health-care system for its "failure to develop and deliver effective preventive strategies … which continues to take a growing toll on the economy and society." The writer, CFO's deputy editor, David McCann, argues that "maybe giving CAM a fair shot isn't so revolutionary after all." McCann quotes Wayne Miller, whose CFO Magazine webinar with Integrative Healthcare Policy Consortium chair Len Wisneski, MD was noted in the October 2012 roundup: "Because of [wasting money on regular medicine], we are crowding out the capital needed for growth, we are sustaining monopolistic behavior [by mainstream medicine], and we are causing enormous human suffering. What part of that is worth defending?"
Comment: As I have been arguing for many years, we need to be exploring "integration from the demand side." A mentor Sean Sullivan, the first director of the National Business Coalition on Health back in the 1980s, taught me to say that phrase. The demand side is consumers and purchasers. The supply side is delivery organizations, and i would argue, researchers and insurers. Big business and the cost-saving integrative approaches may be strange bedfellows, but they belong together, experimenting, trying things, without reductive medicine as a bundling board getting in the way of their messing around toward whole person, health-focused solutions.
