New accreditation standards take effect Jan. 1, 2014
Two sets of standards are set to take effect Jan. 1, 2014, that are relevant to psychologists who work in accredited health plans or health homes: the National Committee for Quality Assurance's (NCQA) Updated Wellness and Managed Behavioral Healthcare Organization standards and the Joint Commission Behavioral Health Home standards.
NCQA is a private, not-for-profit organization that offers accreditation, certification and recognition programs dedicated to improving the quality of health care in the U.S. NCQA accredits and certifies a wide range of health care organizations such as managed care plans, managed behavioral health care organizations and preferred provider organizations, and manages a performance measurement tool used by more than 90 percent of the nation's health plans. NCQA accreditation is intended to help health plans demonstrate a commitment to quality and accountability and to help consumers, employers and others make more informed health care choices.
NCQA's Managed Behavioral Healthcare Organization (MBHO) Accreditation was updated for 2014 to focus on the growing emphasis in health care reform on integrated, whole-person care. These updates were developed by a panel of previously accredited MBHOs, health plans, state agencies, consumer organizations and behavioral health care researchers. The APA Practice Directorate's Office of Legal & Regulatory Affairs submitted comments in March 2013 during the revision process.
APA supported the general goals of many proposed updates, such as: providing employers, public purchasers, health plans and consumers with meaningful information about MBHOs; strengthening MBHO systems for quality improvement programs; and addressing the need for prevention, early intervention and coordination of behavioral health care with medical care. APA offered suggestions for clarification and/or revision of sections related to assessment of behavioral health paraprofessionals, practitioner and provider directories, utilization management structure and self-management tools.
As reflected on the NCQA website, MHBO accreditation emphasizes:
- Care coordination to reduce fragmented care, especially for people with special needs.
- Complex case management to manage the increasingly complex needs of patients receiving both medical care and behavioral healthcare — a challenge for managed care initiatives where complex cases are common.
- Data exchange between health plans and behavioral healthcare organizations. This supports clinical quality and patient experience measurement and improvement by the MBHO.
Joint Commission Behavioral Health Home standards
The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits more than 20,000 health care and programs in the United States. In August, the Joint Commission released new standards that will be effective Jan. 1, 2014, for behavioral health care organizations wishing to pursue Behavioral Health Home (BHH) Certification. BHH Certification recognizes organizations that act as a health home by integrating and coordinating physical and behavioral care for the individuals they serve.
APA has been represented on the Joint Commission's Behavioral Health Care Professional and Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) by Steven D. Moore, PhD, since 2010. As part of the PTAC, Moore reviews draft recommendations proposed by Joint Commission staff (who have reviewed current health care trends and relevant legislation) to determine if there are any implications — positive or negative — for professional psychology and provide input as needed.
The new Behavioral Health Home standards are intended to further promote the integration of behavioral and physical health within health homes. Though most private practices will not meet the standards to qualify as a health home, which requires large-scale integration and the ability to coordinate care across all aspects of health care for a given patient, psychologists are recognized as providers within the health home model.
"These standards reflect changes that are being required by the Affordable Care Act and similar reforms in individual states," says Moore. "It's all part of the move toward integrated care and improving health outcomes. And the implications for psychologists are that collaboration with other disciplines will become more and more important over time."

Godflesh is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
firstname.lastname@example.com | University of Pennsylvania | 03/18/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I first picked this album up in 7th grade...I thought it was one of the worst things I had ever heard. Now a sophomore in college, my tastes have done a near 180. This album is amazing. Very heavy, thick guitar work. There's something about this disc, esp. the last two tracks, it gets you in this very military, Eastern-bloc war-torn mood...the vocals are angry yet intelligent. The drums systematic and dynamic. Great album to draw to...The title track is amazing. It combines whirly electronics with hard industrial tunage... This is before Earache Records went cheezeball..."
Very complete album.
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This cd is rad. There are three versions of the title track, which is a pretty good song, but I think the master song on this album is definitly "Perfect Skin Dub." From hearing the orginal version you would never expect it possible to cut it up and make a 12 minute long masterpiece in it's remix. It has a great guitar loop that makes the song. But aside from Slavestate and Perfect Skin, there are also 4 other new songs, the best of which is Meltdown. This cd offers quite a lot."

Sauron's war on Middle Earth is somewhat more complicated than indicated in the movies. Sauron does not just attack Minis Tirith. His war takes place on three fronts, a familiar concept to a writer who had seen both World War I and II.
Excluding the war on Rohan (which is effectively won by the "Allies" by the end of The Two Towers), Sauron attacks Minis Tirith, Lothlorien & Mirkwood, and the country of Erebor (which includes Dale). The latter "front" is why a prescient Gandalf is so eager to oust Smaug in The Hobbit.
Tolkien discusses the three fronts of the war in his "appendices". And the novels hint at some of the events. However, Tolkien utilizes his third-person narration with great caution, only occasionally breaking the current viewpoint to inform us of events in other locations. Otherwise, what a group of characters knows is only what can be known by that group of characters in that area in that moment.
Because Middle Earth is BIG, something that Tolkien never, never, never forgets.
Reading The Lord of the Rings is rather like reading about space--one is struck over and over by distance. When Gondor calls for Rohan's aid, it takes several days for the Rohan riders to get to Gondor. It takes Sam and Frodo nearly a week to cross Mordor. Consequently, there is little chance for people in one location to know what is occurring in another location--no satellite imagery, folks!
This is true even for the bad guys, which is a refreshing change from the omniscient bad guy that pervades so much current media. Sure, Sauron is evil. But he is as bound to the confines of his area as much as anyone else.
This is important and one place where Jackson makes a "mistake"*. At the end of The Two Towers movie, Frodo comes face to face with a Nazgul. He doesn't put on the ring, but Nazgul can (semi)sense the ring even when it isn't being worn (the Nazgul have left Mordor to attack Gondor by the time Frodo and Sam enter it). So the Nazgul (and Sauron) would know that the ring had arrived in Gondor. Yet in The Return of the King movie (as in the books), Sauron operates on the assumption that the ring is in Rohan.
Of course, in the movies, the viewer is led to believe that Rohan and Gondor and Mordor are practically next door to each other. In the books, Rohan is far enough away from Mordor that the ring's location pushes up Sauron's time table. He starts his war early because he thinks the ring has not yet arrived in Gondor, and he wants to retrieve it before it arrives there.
So, it's a "mistake." However, at this point, it is important to remember . . .
One difference between books and films (there are many) is that visuals matter. I know that sounds obvious, but it leads to changes that upset readers. In a book, extra characters can appear and disappear, and nobody cares. In a book, a throw-away line can reference actions in other areas, and again, nobody cares. A book can also cover great distances in a single paragraph.
But do those things in a movie, and the audience will expect the character, reference, or distance to be paid-off. That is, the character, reference, or distance will begin to matter more than it should. Consequently, it must be excised in order to make the movie work.
It is not that movies are "simpler" than books. It is that movies are complex in a different way. Rather than expansion of events and characters (more, more, more), the audience is given depth of moments. In the books, for instance, we know Gimli and Legolas become friends through a series of events; for example, in Lothlorien, Legolas begins to take Gimli with him during his explorations.
The first movie can't shows us all that--Gimli and Legolas's adventures would be their own movie! Instead, it relies on moments: my favorite is when Gimli and Legolas are on the river; when Gimli praises the Lady Galadriel, Legolas smiles to himself. It is infinitely touching and says all we need to know about that relationship.
So I don't fault Jackson for ignoring the distances which Tolkien sticks to so assiduously--it's not like an audience wants to watch Rohan decide to respond to the fires getting lit and then . . .
Ho hum. "Are we there yet?"

In today's world, it seems that almost any topic is open for debate. While I was gathering facts for this digital photography, I was quite surprised to find some of the issues I thought were settled are actually still being openly discussed.
Knowledge can give you a real advantage. To make sure you're fully informed about digital photography, keep reading.
The art and science of producing and manipulating digital photographs -- photographs that are represented as bit maps. Digital photographs can be produced in a number of ways:
# Directly with a digital camera
# By capturing a frame from a video
# By scanning a conventional photograph
Once a photograph is in digital format, you can apply a wide variety of special effects to it with image enhancing software. You can then print the photo out on a normal printer or send it to a developing studio which will print it out on photographic paper.
Although the resolution of digital photos is not nearly as high as photos produced from film, digital photography is ideal when you need instant, low-resolution pictures. It's especially useful for photos that will be displayed on the World Wide Web because Web graphics need to be low resolution anyway so that they can be downloaded quickly.
If you've picked some pointers about digital photography that you can put into action, then by all means, do so. You won't really be able to gain any benefits from your new knowledge if you don't use it.

We posted about this new book a few weeks ago. Here's a bit more detail about all that's in store for readers:
After decades of intense study and the release of nearly 20 books, 77-year-old Joe E. Tarry tackles the enigmatic prophecies found in Daniel and Revelation. Tarry's new book, The Last Week of Seven Yearsand the Apostle John's Surprise, presents a fresh look and a reasonable interpretation of what some would consider the most difficult-to-understand chapters in the Bible.
In his book Tarry works passage by passage through chapters 7-12 in Daniel and the entire book of Revelation. He uses a down-to-earth rhetoric to help Christians understand these verses and therefore to be better prepared for Christ's return.
When examining Daniel 7-12, Tarry explains what he believes to be God's number system, which sheds light on the timeline of events in those chapters. He also includes a brief history lesson and discusses why understanding those events is important for Christians today.
In his look at Revelation, Tarry breaks the biblical book into three main sections: the "what you have seen" era, the "things which are" era, and the "things which shall take place" era. This unique view of the book allows readers to make sense of the symbolic and literal prophecies that span the timeline of human history. Within Tarry's book also are discussions of controversial topics such as the rapture, the battle of Har-Magedon, and end-times theology (postmillennialism, amillennialism, dispensational premillennialism, and historical premillennialism).
In the book's foreword, Dr. James T. Draper Jr., president emeritus of LifeWay Christian Resources, writes that readers will find "a remarkably detailed study of the Book of Revelation and the related Old Testament passages, particularly from the Book of Daniel. In these pages you will find your presuppositions and assumptions challenged."
"Don't expect this book to be a quick read. I recommend you read it carefully and prayerfully. I believe when you're through, you'll be much better prepared for the return of Christ, which is exactly what He has commanded us to do," writes John Loudat, leader of the Information Services Team and editor of the Baptist New Mexican at the Baptist Convention of New Mexico.
Joe E. Tarry was born near Lovington, NM, in 1935. He graduated with a double major and received a bachelor of arts in religion and history from Eastern New Mexico University and a master of divinity from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Leona, served for more than 35 years as missionaries to the cities of Governador Valadares and Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, in Brazil before retiring in Ruidoso, NM. Tarry has written 14 books in Portuguese and five in English.
Paperback ($19.95) copies of the book are available through Hannibal Books: 800-747-0738 and www.hannibalbooks.com. Copies may also be purchased directly from the author by emailing email@example.com. ISBN: 978-1-61315-030-6.

We're proud to join Colgate-Palmolive in presenting this new Fun Center to Shady Grove Adventist Hospital."

Mine will be done in late evening and twilight, so I hope tripods are allowed. I plan on shooting some Provia 100 in my Nikon F2AS. I hope the leader doesn't assume that everyone will be shooting handheld with the digital cameras cranked up to ISO 6400! Twice I emailed the leader and asked if tripods were OK and no answer. So I'm going to just show up with all the gear I plan on using.

Detailed Notes on proper barefoot running form
As stated Formerly the fitness sector's emphasis on utilizing treadmills essentially exacerbates running complications. In case you make an effort to observe individuals operate on treadmills you will discover that treadmill runners nearly always do three points: stand thoroughly upright with zero forward lean; land to the heel; land With all the heel before the body in lieu of under the hips.
Both equally of such concepts are rooted inside the notion that running is often a leg pushed activity involving "pushing" into the ground. But, in reality, neither determines how fast you run – cadence and stride size are equally by-solutions of how briskly you are going which can be managed by your fall angle!
Heel strikers (about 75 % of all runners!) land about the heel and that is in advance of the middle of gravity of the human body then have to roll ahead to receive into the ball of the foot to obtain towards the Pose stance. This produces numerous troubles such as the indisputable fact that the all-natural muscle-tendon elasticity (aka stretch-shortening cycle or SSC) cannot be utilized to absorb forces so you'll find 3 times the impression forces travelling in the ankle, knee, hip and again and this is the key reason for the vast majority of running injures!
One of several keys to coaching running is always to realize that the focus really should not be to the act of landing, but about the act of eliminating the foot from the ground. Landing is going to occur immediately demanding no concentration – you only Allow the foot fall to the bottom following the pull. The pull is really a quite simple motion – the hamstrings deal and pulls the foot straight up beneath the hips, positioning it to drop directly underneath the middle of mass/gravity.
Though owning an comprehension of the mechanics of running is helpful – it will eventually do tiny to improve genuine running. The important thing to increasing running form is escalating notion in the Pose, Drop, and Pull, and notion is heightened by carrying out unique drills for each aspect.
I attempted it and was virtually impressed. His thought is that the body By natural means adjusts when barefoot. (Really don't quote me) What I'm gonna check out for awhile is get started my run with some barefoot running to address form. We'll see the way it goes.
An proper representation on the asked for useful resource couldn't be uncovered on this server. This mistake was created by Mod_Security.
Bodily barefoot running benefits are lots. Several specialists say that shoes induce arches to break down, and tendons and modest muscles inside the toes to weaken and turn into inactive, resulting in all manner of problems.
Make sure to Construct up gradually and there's no motive why you shouldn't become a soreness-free of charge and successful runner. With lots of benefits of running barefoot, it truly is definitely truly worth a test. By Blogsdna

Some Thoughts Concerning Collapse of the Classic Maya Civilization
by Jeeni Criscenzo
(c)1998 Jeeni Criscenzo, All Rights reserved. Not to be copied or duplicated without written permission.
I have often been asked what I thought was the dominant factor in the collapse of the Maya civilization. First, let's clarify what is meant by collapse - the collapse of the Classic civilization that occurred sometime near the end of the 9th century, was apparently a devastating event, but seems to have been contained to the Peten/highland areas. In the Northern Lowlands, sites like Coba and old Chichen Itza seemed to have continued without much of a problem for many more generations, and sites in the Puuc Hills were just beginning to flower. So I will assume your question pertains to the "demise" of the Central area sites.
Most Mayanists seem to agree that the collapse was due to a combination of problems, but none seem to agree on what was the dominant cause. Perhaps there was no dominant cause. For example, if you looked at the USSR - what would you say was the dominant cause for its collapse? I doubt you could get all contemporaries to agree - so how could we expect to reach a consensus on something that occurred long ago with no written records.
Here is my theory:
A ruler's divine status was at the core of the Maya's view of their universe. His power to influence the gods by bloodletting rituals made him a critical component to the order of things. In some way or another (self-fulfilling prophecy... power of the human mind... teamwork... who can say why...) these rulers were successful in bringing prosperity to their people and so the belief system sustained itself and the civilization grew. And success begot success. People never questioned the omnipotent power of their rulers and likewise each new generation of royalty was convinced of their own divine powers.
At some point this unquestioned belief in their rulers started to wear thin. Perhaps there was a series of natural disasters - drought, earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes (maybe an extreme El Nino?) or maybe ecological stress caused crops to fail. I think that whatever these problems were, they probably instigated an increase in warfare. Rulers felt their powers were failing and the gods required more and more royal blood - their own personal bloodletting was insufficient - there was a frenzied campaign to secure other royalty to sacrifice to the insatiable gods.
What happened when these royals were captured is that they were not immediately sacrificed. They were kept for years to be bled at ritual ceremonies. Meanwhile there was no one running the show back at their homes. Their heirs could not take over leadership responsibilities because the ruler was still alive. As this frantic capturing of royalty escalated, it became very risky to be of royal blood. I think that the intellegensia started to abandon their posts. They were not brought down by their own people, they left deliberately, in fear of capture by neighboring warriors. The result was chaos. The belief system was shattered. And finally it got to the point that people just deserted the cities, and rewrote the rules - adapting their belief system as best they could (they did not have the education of the elite who had abandoned them, perhaps they couldn't even read or write.)
If this scenario is true - would you say that warfare was the dominant cause? I don't think so. I would say that the dominant cause was a belief system that couldn't hold up under a drastic change in circumstances. There is something important here for us to observe and learn from. Our civilization is also undergoing dramatic change. Our belief systems are also being questioned. Fundamentalist in all religions are trying desperately to stop change. But change is inevitable.
Will our civilization succumb as the Maya's did? And will that be a bad thing? The Maya did not disappear. They just changed the rules. They made a different life that didn't include building fantastic monuments and temples. It was a simpler, communal and highly spiritual life that continues successfully to this day (although it is being threatened by modern interference, both hostile and benign.) Eventually the Northern Lowland Maya followed suit -- abandoning their magnificent cities to live in agricultural communities. Perhaps that is where we will end up too. Two thousand years from now, will people dig up New York City and wonder caused our civilization to collapse?
Just some unscientific food for thought...

22 Paths of Imperfection (a flight manual for single winged angels) by Matt Laws
Hadean Press
This is a small format book with 119 pages. It's perfect for dropping in a bag or stuffing in the back pocket of your jeans. Initially I wasn't so sure of the small format as the binding is quite tight and I had to forcibly fold the pages back. After a few sections though it grew on me quickly and its actually perfect for what Matt intended with this book. After all a flight manual should be carried with you and used. Not left on a bookshelf.
This book starts with a very personnel forward about the problems the author has faced in life. As somebody who considered suicide at least once a week for over 30 years this hit a chord with me and I instantly felt connected the the book and the author.
I can see myself constantly referring to this book every time I've got 10 or 15 minutes spare. Read about 1 card, refresh my memory on it and contemplate the story Matt presented. Perfect for the bus, train, stuck in traffic etc… This is exactly the book I've been needing on Tarot, though, this book just covers the major arcana. I hope there will be a follow up soon covering the minor arcana.
Each card is presented over a couple of pages though some cover more than others, such as the High Priestess which is 7 pages long. Initially you have a story on the card and its path on the Tree of life, then the Hebrew letter associated with that path and further discussion on the symbolism and and how one mingles with the other. It works brilliantly for me, I remember things better if there is a tale associated with the information. For example, Matt describes the High Priestess a bit like a rollercoaster ride. It can be fun or terrifying yet at the end everything is okay. The Hebrew letter Gimel is associated with the High Priestess. Gimel is the Camel, and a Camel travels from one good place to another, often through harsh conditions and terrain. However, the Camel has his built in water supply so he can survive the journey and face the hardships along the way. This use of allegory just hits the spot triggering all the right synapses in my brain to help me remember.
I was expecting to read this book in one sitting however the information is presented in such a way that I've found myself reading about each card and then putting the book down while I digest it.
I can't rate this book highly enough. I've 5 books on Tarot here but none of them have really helped me in the way this one has. Sure I've learnt something from each of them but at times it was a dry hard slog. This little book is a gem and one that will never find a home on my bookshelf. If its not on my desk, it'll be in my handbag.
