The s-word is in our forecast this week. I don't know anyone who is happy about the October SNOW except for my allergy-suffering friends. With the snow come cold temperatures and at MSGL we play outside year-round, so it's important for children to have warm and practical clothing to wear every day. For the past 12 years I greeted the children on the playground at 8:30 am, snow or shine. To help you prepare for this week and the next six months (it hurts me to say that), I have compiled for you:
Miss Heather's Top 10 List for Child Comfort and Parent Happiness: Winter Edition
1. Check the forecast. Every class - Toddler through Elementary - goes outside when the temperature is 20 degrees Fahrenheit or above. Check the weather forecast each day before leaving the house to make sure your child will have the appropriate cold-weather gear for that day.
2. Go with the low. Consider the time of day your child will be outside. The forecast may call for a high temp. of 63 degrees, but the temperature at 8:30 am might only be in the 40's. Some classes start outside, some go out at 10:15, some at 11:00. The afternoon and Elementary classes go out at varying times throughout the week. Provide clothing for the day's low temperature and your child should be well-prepared.
3. Layer, layer, layer. Imagine your child as a cute, rosy-cheeked onion and help her dress in layers. Being hot and sweaty outside in the cold is just as uncomfortable as shivering. If your child can take off a sweater or push back her hood and unzip her coat, she will be able to regulate her body temperature and still enjoy the time outside.
4. Listen to your child. Trust your child to make decisions about his comfort. The only way we can learn if we are too cold is if we are allowed to feel the cold. If your child doesn't want to wear his gloves, don't sweat it. Make sure he knows his gloves are in his locker and that he can go get them if he gets cold. The same goes for his snow pants and his bulky winter coat. An active child dressed in layers with warm shoes and a hat can generally enjoy himself outside without danger of getting too cold, even in winter. If your child is listening to his body instead of chafing under a "mitten mandate" he is more likely to develop a true sense of how to dress for the weather. My friend "Z" always told his dad he didn't want to wear his coat or his snow pants or his gloves, but 10 minutes after dad left, Z would ask to go get them.
5. Start a discussion. Talk with your child about the day's weather and how to dress. Remember that the ultimate goals are safety and independence. You might say something like, "It's 30 degrees Fahrenheit. You definitely need to wear something on your hands, but you can choose if you wear your Spiderman gloves or the mittens Grandma made for you." Or try, "It's going to be 45 degrees when you go outside today. What should you pack for school?" Young children can learn to speak three languages at once. They can also learn to make clothing choices based on the outdoor temperature.
6. Get a move-on. Remember that your child is most likely playing actively outside. We might feel very cold walking from the car to the school door in a suit or a skirt and heels, but a child riding a balance bike for 10 minutes heats up very quickly.
7. Consider cold pants. Snow pants or snow suits are essential when there is snow on the ground, but some children (and some preschool teachers) like to wear them as soon as they can see their breath outside. Think of them as "cold pants" and let your child keep them in his locker from October through April.
8. Label everything. Speaking of lockers, our lockers are small. When two children share a locker it's nearly impossible to fit snow pants, coats, book bags and lunch boxes inside. PLEASE make sure every article of clothing you send to school has your child's name or your family's last name written on it where it's easy to read. All black snow pants and all Spiderman gloves look the same when there are 24 children getting dressed in the hallway. If you forget, your child's teacher will be happy to loan you a Sharpie and some masking tape.
9. Embrace the terrific outdoors. Spending time outdoors is important for everyone's health and well-being. We do not have a gym and children may not stay inside by themselves. If your child is recovering from an illness and you don't want her to be outside, please make arrangements to drop her off late or pick her up early, depending on the class schedule.
10. Stock up. Have extra winter clothing on hand, if possible. The first Snow Day of the year is much less fun when your child has left her snow pants at school. And plan to lose at least one set of gloves. If you buy three identical sets of gloves, odds are you will have at least one matching set at the end of the year. Just in case, the Lost and Found box is in the office.
If you recently moved to West Lafayette from somewhere warm and lovely, I am so sorry! But seriously, you can stock up on all the clothing your family needs to get through your first Indiana winter at J.C. Penney, Sears, Target, KMart, or Walmart. You can purchase gently-used childrens' outerwear at Once Upon a Child in Lafayette.
Below are some examples of items your child will need.
Thanks for reading and bring on the snow!
1998 was a big year for MSGL because we announced our expansion so we received lots of media coverage. This week's Wayback Wednesday post features another story from the Lafayette Journal and Courier. On July 7th, a story about our summer camp cooking class filled the 4 Kidz Only page. (I love that the J&C embraced phonetic spelling!)
The photos are beautiful and the children's quotes, especially about date math, are really sweet.
Featured teacher, Revati Nemani is still with MSGL today in the Catalpa class. The children featured in this article are now in college. Are any of them studying to be chefs? We would love to know. If you know Alie Magnante, Daniel Plesniak, Asher Bogdanove, or Andrew Staiger, please pass this along. It would be great to hear from them.
And maybe you and your young ones will give one of these recipes a go? We would love to hear about that, too.
..and this was its steeple.
When we remodeled the former Calvary Baptist Church in 2000-2001 to become our Montessori school, we had to replace a few fixtures. The steeple was detached from the roof and lowered by crane to the parking lot below.
What do you do with a second-hand steeple? We gave it to a church down the road.
The demolition crew also removed the fiberglas baptistry by cutting it into pieces. All of the beautiful wood pews were sold. You can see one being used today in the school office. The colored windows were eventually replaced with clear glass.
This is what Building B looks like today.
Have a great Wednesday!
It is important to say that you are your child's most important and influential teacher. You set the tone for your child's love of learning from the very start and it is you who bridges the gap between school and home. Sometimes this can feel overwhelming.

We hope to see you there!
Two years ago, before their daughter was even old enough to enroll at MSGL, Zoe Neal and Desiree Chuang made an historic donation to our school. Owners of Virtuous Cycles in downtown Lafayette, Zoe and Desiree gave us a bright orange Strider balance bike to try out on the tricycle track. It soon became the most beloved of all the bikes because it is the only two-wheeler and it has no pedals. And most importantly, it goes FAST! Well, it goes as fast as the square bike track will allow and with all of the tricycle traffic? The bike track is sometimes more like the intersection of 52 and Salisbury when Purdue heads home for the day. Still, it feels really fast.
Old School
On the bikes of my youth and quite possibly yours, I learned to pedal with a set of training wheels attached to the hub of the back wheel to keep the bike, and me, upright. I learned to pedal the bike but never felt what it was like to be truly balanced on two wheels. When the training wheels came off I wasn't really ready at all. I had to learn to balance, and quickly! - and my parents had to watch. Spoiler alert: we all survived.
New School
Balance bikes let a child master the balancing part - the most challenging part - of riding a bike, first. When you are coasting on a Strider bike with your feet not touching the ground it feels exactly like riding a bike. You ARE riding the bike, you're just not pedaling it. And since many children already learned to pedal on a tricycle the year before, the two skills of balancing and pedaling come together nicely after they have mastered the Strider. Several online reviews point out that if a child can walk she can ride a balance bike, so some children skip the tricycle stage altogether.
Maria Montessori observed the importance of a child developing his sense of balance. She created activities such as walking on the line to help fine-tune this sense. At MSGL the Strider is an extension of that balance exercise.
Last year, the Franklin family donated a new, dark blue Strider and now the children can have a turn to ride in half the time. That's important because learning to have a turn and to wait for a turn is one of the biggest works of preschool. The children at MSGL and their teachers have come up with an almost fool-proof system for taking turns on the Striders and all the bikes. It came to be called the "waiting bench."
The Waiting Bench
The waiting bench is right next to the bike shed which is sort of the starting line of the bike track. The first two children take the bikes out of the shed and ride them. When another friend wants a turn, he sits on the waiting bench. This signals the riders that someone is waiting for a turn so they need to consider how many more laps they will take before handing the bike off to the next friend. Sometimes the rider stops riding and negotiates with the waiter.
Waiter: How many more times are you going to go around?
Rider: 10
Waiter: That's too many! How about 7?
Rider: How about 5? (When you're learning numbers and quantity, it's sometimes more important to pick a number you like than to negotiate for the most turns. Negotiation skills improve with experience :)
Once an agreement has been reached, the rider continues his laps while the waiter and his friends count down from 5 to 1. At the hand-off between rider and waiter, the cycle is repeated with new riders. Sometimes there are misunderstandings and an experienced child steps in to mediate. A teacher is always nearby to see what is happening and make herself available to help, if needed.
The idea of the waiting bench just sort of happened, like lots of great things happen in child-centered environments. It's possible that the teachers could have made an arbitrary rule about each child getting only 5 turns, but that would diminish the child's ability to make choices and consider the feelings of others. For example, 5-year-olds can recognize a child who is struggling with being patient and they will sometimes hand the bike over early to help this child. This leads to another cycle that I call the "Cycle of Benevolence." Benevolence is an inclination to perform kind, charitable acts. When a child sees a peer giving freely of herself to make someone else happy, it feels good. Soon, that child is looking for a way to help a friend. The cycle repeats and those kind acts and good feelings spill over into the community and, ultimately, the whole wide world.
Heike Larson, an administrator and blogger at Leport School in California, writes frequently of the importance of fostering benevolence in preschool communities. All of us at MSGL are inspired by her blog. She has also written about balance bikes on the Leport Schools blog here.
If you are considering buying a balance bike for your child, be sure to visit Virtuous Cycles to check out their selection of models and colors. Tell them MSGL sent you and be a part of the Cycle.
Families are drawn to Montessori schools for many different reasons. Sometimes parents are looking to continue in preschool the child-centered environment they have established at home. Others wish to see their children thrive in the our enriched classrooms. Still, other families choose Montessori preschools because they want their children to learn and socialize in a non-competitive environment. Whatever the reason parents choose Montessori, they often have many questions during their child's first year.
To help answer these questions, MSGL offers a 1 ½-hour Montessori Basics class each Fall and all new families are expected to attend. Preprimary teacher Kelly Sallee presented this year's class on September 25th to a packed house of over 40 parents and grandparents. Kelly focused her presentation on the Prepared Environment, the Sensitive Periods of a child's development, and the Role of the Teacher. If you were unable to attend this year's Basics, follow this link to read more about Kelly's presentation. Below are a few tips for new parents.
Kelly's Tips for New Montessori Parents
Do your best to control the environment, not the child. Organize the child's belongings to help him be independent and successful.
Don't worry if your child is unable to sit still or to focus for long periods. "Even when we feel they're not listening, they are learning."
What's in your child's cubby does not necessarily reflect their work because many activities have no "paper" component. Look at classroom photos and videos on SmugMug to see what the children are working on in class. Your child's teacher will also have this information available for you at parent/teacher conferences.
Give your child the gift of time. Try not to rush her through tasks. When a child is allowed to dress herself in the morning it may take longer but she will develop the skills necessary for independence.
Allow your child to work without interruption, when possible. Periods of uninterrupted work strengthen a child's ability to concentrate for longer periods of time.
Allow your child to complete tasks without correction. "I don't know any adults who walk around with their shoes on the wrong feet. They will figure it out with time."
Give your child the opportunity to be a third-year student. Our mixed-age classrooms allow children to move from being the youngest who look up to role models to being the role models themselves. "Children who are the youngest in their families need the third year to be the leader that they don't get to be at home."
15 years ago the Lafayette Journal and Courier announced MSGL's plans to add an elementary program and move all of its programs to a new space.
The Morton Community Center on Chauncey Avenue had been MSGL's home since 1985.
As the article states, the new elementary program was originally going to be housed in a home on Rainbow Drive that had been donated by an MSGL family. A change of plans relocated that first class to some available classroom space inside the Temple Israel on Cumberland Avenue.
In February 2001, all of our programs, from the parent-infant class through elementary, moved into our permanent home in the former Calvary Baptist church on Soldiers Home Road.
In 2007, the elementary classes moved into the Montessori House, a remodeled home adjacent to the campus.
MSGL has plans to expand once again in the near future to add a second toddler classroom and a gym/gross motor space.

text: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 FDA Proposes to Improve Quality of AEDs The US Food and Drug Administration recently issued a proposed order aimed at helping manufacturers improve the quality and reliability of automated external defibrillators (AEDs). The proposed order, if finalized, will require manufacturers of AEDs to submit premarket approval (PMA) applications that contain clinical data to support the product's approval. Although these devices have saved lives over the years, the FDA has received approximately 45,000 adverse event reports between 2005 and 2012 associated with the failure of AEDs. Manufacturers also have conducted dozens of recalls. FDA says the problems it is seeing are "preventable and correctable." The most common issues involve the design and manufacture of the devices and inadequate control of components purchased from other suppliers. In addition to the clinical safety and effectiveness data, a PMA must also include a review of a manufacturer's quality systems information and an inspection of its manufacturing facilities. After approval, manufacturers must submit to the FDA any significant manufacturing changes made to the devices and annual reports of the device's performance. For information on APTA's position on cardiopulmonary resuscitation certification and use of AEDs, and acquiring an AED for a physical therapy practice, click here. Comments Are AEDs required in PT outpatient centers operating as a PTIP? Thank you. Posted by Mitchell Tannenbaum,PT on 3/4/2014 10:40 AM

With iOS 7, Apple introduced new networking APIs to replace the traditional
NSURLConnection class for creating network requests and handling network responses. Built on top of
NSURLConnection is the new
NSURLSession API, which offers rich functionality for setting session-level configuration options, performing background processing (even if the application crashed), easier sending of network requests, and receiving responses using asynchronous blocks versus traditional delegate patterns. While these new APIs are easier to use and follow newer patterns that Apple incorporates within its other APIs, if developers follow Apple's documentation and other mainstream tutorials, they may find they are leaking memory, and eventually applications can crash due to memory pressure.
Application Example
Before I show where the memory leak occurs, let's create a sample application and use Apple's URL Loading System Programming Guide for instruction. Specifically, let's use the example code in the section "Fetching Resources Using System-Provided Delegates." I will modify the example code slightly to
PUT a photo to a site using a REST service.
With the example code, I still need to create a
NSURLSessionConfiguration object.
NSURLSessionConfiguration allows me to set up certain parameters about future requests that are made for a session. It can set HTTP header values, caching properties, permit cellular access, and more.
For the
NSURLSessionConfiguration object, I will use the
defaultSessionConfiguration that Apple provides. Apple's documentation on the default session configuration reads: "The default session configuration causes the session to behave similarly to an
NSURLConnection object in its standard configuration. If you are porting code from
NSURLConnection, use this method to obtain an initial configuration and then customize the returned object as needed."
Based on this description, it's a perfect fit, especially if you are porting over an iOS 6 application. You could add additional configuration details to the
NSURLSession, such as restricting cellular access, but I will just return the default configuration in this example:
-(NSURLSessionConfiguration *)sessionConfiguration { return [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration]; }
Our session configuration is fairly simple. However, based on Apple's documentation, it should be sufficient.
For uploading the photo, I wrapped the example code provided by Apple in a method that takes image data and an identifier for the image. I made slight adjustments to the code as follows:
- Created a
NSURLRequestas a
PUTrequest with a given URL
- Changed the task type to
NSURLSessionUploadTask, which subclasses the original
- Invalidated the session after all tasks are finished
The last change I made (item 3 above) is calling
finishTasksAndInvalidate. Making this call is crucial; however, it is not emphasized enough in documentation. If you do not invalidate your session, it will leak memory. That being said, this is not the memory leak we are uncovering.
-(void)putPhoto:(NSData *)imageData usingIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier { // 1 - Setup Session NSURLSession *delegateFreeSession = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:[self sessionConfiguration] delegate:nil delegateQueue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]]; NSURL *syncPhotoUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://localhost/sync/photo/%@", identifier]]; // 2 - Setup Request NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:syncPhotoUrl]; [request setHTTPMethod:@"PUT"]; // 3 - Upload Photo [[delegateFreeSession uploadTaskWithRequest:request fromData:imageData completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) { NSLog(@"Got response %@ with error %@.\n", response, error); NSLog(@"DATA:\n%@\nEND DATA\n", [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding]); } ] resume]; // 4 - Need to invalidate session to ensure no memory is leaked [delegateFreeSession finishTasksAndInvalidate]; }
If the above code (which contains only slight modifications to the code provided by Apple) is run, it will eventually crash due to memory pressure. Additionally, if you look at other well-known
NSURLSession tutorials out there (Ray Wenderlich and tuts+, for example), you will find that this code does not deviate from the tutorials and recommendations posted by Apple (see NSURLSession Class Reference and Using NSURLSession). To show the leak, let's profile this test application in Instruments.
Discovering the Memory Leak
If I run the application in Instruments using the "Allocations" instrument, I see that memory is allocated and released: However, not all of the memory that allocated is released. You notice this by observing the peaks and valleys in memory consumption where it never gets back down to the original utilization levels after a photo is uploaded to the server (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Initial memory profile.
Also, if you look at the
defaultSessionConfiguration for
NSURLSessionConfiguration, you will find that the default disk capacity is 2MB and the default memory capacity is 4MB:
(lldb) posessionConfiguration.URLCache.diskCapacity 20971520 (lldb) posessionConfiguration.URLCache.memoryCapacity 4194304
These values are relatively small to suspect that the application would crash due to memory pressure. Every time you create a
NSURLSessionConfiguration and provide it to a new
NSURLSession, you would expect that when the
NSURLSession is destroyed, the part of it owning the session configuration object it would be destroyed as well. However by examining Instruments, we find the number of
NSURLSessionConfiguration objects continue to increase (Figure 2):
Figure 2: Examining Instruments.
From this capture, there should not be 42 active session configurations while this application is running. After each
NSURLSession is completed, these should be deallocated. Now, what Instruments shows as far as memory consumption is somewhat misleading; clearly, we can see that the allocated memory is increasing at a level that would end up crashing the application due to memory pressure. (Figure 3 shows the memory usage after little more than one minute of use.)
Figure 3: A more detailed look at the memory leak.
For this sample application, we have the benefit of being able to detect the leak because of the large amount of data that we are sending. However, applications that transmit a smaller amount of data may not know they are leaking memory because the leak is at a smaller scale and may go unnoticed. This may be why this issue is not well known today our application is transmitting data at a large scale, however over time, even a small application can crash if appropriate measures (which I'll outline shortly) aren't taken.
Continuing to dig into the issue, look at the top memory allocation calls (
Malloc). You can see that there is a large amount of memory being allocated (Figure 4):
Figure 4: Checking Malloc.
Here, we have 20 living memory allocations taking 108.36 MB, and none of these were released. Additionally, in the next row, we still have 18 living memory allocations taking 49.85 MB. In this example, there were 38 photos that were synced to the server. Discovering their owners of these is no easy task and there is no direct way of finding them in Instruments. However, considering that the memory climbs with network requests, if we dig around enough for what network-related objects are not being released, we find that there are cache entries that are still living and never released.
Figure 5: Cache entries still living.
Caching is done as part of the
defaultSessionConfiguration we get from
NSURLSessionConfiguration. Even though the cache on disk has a capacity of 2MB and the cache in memory has a capacity of 4MB, our memory consumption grows way beyond that. Unbeknown to the developer, these entries will continue to grow even when the
NSURLSession object that was created has been deallocated. The question to ask is, "why is there a cache held in memory for an object we don't have a reference to?" This is the key issue and it's where the memory leak occurs.
Who is Vulnerable?
An application might not crash due to memory pressure if it consistently sends requests to the same set of URLs and has a limited number of URLs in this set. The crash depends on the number of unique URLs that the application sends requests to and the size of data in that request and response pair. The reason for this is that for each URL that the application sends a request to, it stores a cached request and response. If it already has a cached entry, it does not create another entry for that pair. Because of this, applications that use RESTful services where data is uploaded to a server using a
PUT request with a unique path are at most danger, since that URL will constantly change. Even applications that do not use RESTful services are not in the clear. If they have a set of URLs that they post data to, their application might not crash, but the memory that they have available will be constrained by the amount of memory that the cache is consuming for those URLs.
Workaround the Memory Leak
There are several ways to work around the memory leak. The most straightforward way is to configure your
defaultSessionConfiguration with a
NSURLCache object that has a memory capacity of 0. The following code reflects this configuration update:
-(NSURLSessionConfiguration *)sessionConfiguration { NSURLSessionConfiguration *config = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration]; config.URLCache = [[NSURLCache alloc] initWithMemoryCapacity:0 diskCapacity:0 diskPath:nil]; return config; }
With this simple update, you will not cache request/response data for that session (which, if you are calling Web services that deal with dynamic data, should cause no disadvantage).
Warning: From the documentation on NSURLSessionConfiguration, you may decide to use an
ephemeralSessionConfiguration. Please note that this ensures only that cache is not written to disk; However, the cache entries will still be written to memory.
While Apple's new networking APIs are very powerful, if a developer doesn't understand how memory is being allocated and released, the application can leak memory and eventually crash due to memory pressure. I've identified this as a leak, since the developer does not have a reference to the consumed memory to release it. Also, due to the use of automatic reference counting (ARC) in Mac OS, the developer would assume that when the session is deallocated from memory, the corresponding cache in memory would be deallocated as well. As I have demonstrated, this is not the case. Fortunately, a work around does exist.

text: Tuesday, December 04, 2012 Proposed Rule Expands on Programs to Protect Consumers On Friday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a proposed rule expanding on the standards set forth in 2 final rules published in March related to reinsurance, risk adjustment, and risk corridors programs and the establishment of Exchanges and qualified health plans. These programs aim to ensure that insurance plans compete on the basis of quality and service and not on attracting the healthiest individuals. Key proposals in the draft Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2014 include: • Reducing disincentives for health insurance issuers to enroll people with preexisting conditions by using a risk adjustment methodology that assists health plans that cover individuals with higher health care costs and helps ensure that those who are sick have access to the coverage that they need. CMS also outlines the agency's proposed approach to validating risk adjustment data to instill confidence in the program. States that are running an Exchange and their own risk adjustment program can propose a different methodology. • Stabilizing premiums in the individual market for health insurance by adopting uniform reinsurance payment parameters for the transitional reinsurance program, which is a 3-year program designed to reduce medical risk for issuers and thereby reduce premiums for enrollees. CMS proposes that a state may supplement the HHS reinsurance payment parameters, but must pay for those supplementary parameters with additional state reinsurance collections or state funds (instead of funds collected by HHS under the national contribution rate). CMS also proposes a per-capita rate under which contributions would be collected annually by HHS from all applicable health insurance issuers and group health plans, exclusion of certain types of plans from the reinsurance contribution requirement, and standards governing the calculation of contributions. • Protecting health insurance issuers against uncertainty in setting premium rates by accounting for profits and taxes in the temporary risk corridors program and aligning this program with the medical loss ratio program. • Helping low- and moderate-income Americans afford health insurance in Exchanges by making advance payments of premium tax credit to issuers on behalf of certain individuals. CMS is proposing that issuers provide cost-sharing reductions at the point of service for eligible individuals and that CMS directly reimburse issuers for these payments. • Charging health insurances issuers participating in a federally facilitated Exchange a user fee that would be commensurate with fees charged by state-based Exchanges. Comments sounds like the health insurance lobbyists have had a significant impact on those at CMS...

The Smyrna/Clayton Relay for Life can raise money until August 31, but meetings for the 2013 relay will start August 16.
THE STORY The first-ever Smyrna/Clayton Relay for Life was held in May and exceeded expectations when the event raised over $30,000; the goal was to raise $25,000.
Relay for Life is an overnight event that raises awareness while raising money to fight against cancer. Teams are created, they raise money and then attend the relay where they will not only partake in various activities but must always have someone from the team on the track at all times.
The event was held at the Smyrna High School track. North Elementary teacher Staci Lewis was the chairperson for the event and was ecstatic with the amount of money raised in the first year.
"We're over the moon. I can't tell you how excited we are," Lewis previously said.
WHAT'S NEW It's been a few months since Smyrna held its first Relay for Life event but that doesn't mean the groups involved have stopped raising money. To date, the group has raised roughly $31,500. They have until Friday, Aug. 31 to raise money as part of the 2012 program. Any money raised after that will go towards the 2013 Relay for Life.
So how exactly is the Smyrna/Clayton Relay for Life still raising funds? By selling t-shirts and bracelets. Interested individuals can buy "Crush Cancer" shirts for $12 in purple, red, green or pink; some colors are sold out. Lewis said they are also trying to get the shirts in orange and black. The bracelets are silver charm bracelets that say "Relay 2012" on them and are sold for $15 each.
The group has already sold between 125 and 150 shirts so far, Lewis said.
All the proceeds from the shirts and bracelets will go towards Relay for Life, which benefits the American Cancer Society.
The response from the Smyrna/Clayton community has been great, Lewis said. A lot of people were surprised with how much money was raised while others didn't even know the event was being held.
"People were excited we brought something like this to Smyrna and are eager to participate next year," she said.
Furthermore, the American Cancer Society was surprised with the group exceeding their $25,000 goal.
"Everybody was really surprised. I guess it just kind of shows the community spirit we have been talking about here," Lewis said.
WHAT'S NEXT The final day to raise money for the 2012 Relay for Life is Aug. 31 but meetings for the 2013 relay will begin in mid-August.
There will be a volunteer interest meeting for the 2013 relay on Thursday, Aug. 16 at 6 p.m. The meeting location has yet to be determined.
Starting in September, Lewis said the committee meetings will be the second Thursday of each month. The team meetings will be the fourth Thursday of each month.
Along with preparing for next year's Relay for Life event will be the planning of other fundraisers. Next year's fundraisers will include a motorcycle ride, a horse trail ride and a wine tasting.

Katie Holmes is supposedly done with actors. According to Radar, even though she's pretty much exclusively dated actors, Katie's sworn them off now and apparently wants to hook up with an artist. God I wonder what a morning pitch meeting at Radar looks like? And whether or not it resembles a writers' room. Because this is what they do over there, you see? FICTION.
Do you think Katie Holmes, who calls herself some kind of fashion designer now, do you think she distinguishes between actors and artists? Or do you think she might consider herself to be an artist and acting a part of her artistic repertoire? Please. This is exactly what's happening here. That's how they all see themselves, even the Kate Bosworths of the world: artists, all of them are artists. Katie Holmes is an artist. She presented at NY Fashion Week and she's about to perform on Broadway.
Here she is taking Suri to school in a cute autumn coat and then later heading to rehearsal in a change of clothing, perhaps her costume for the show? I hope so. Because there's not much artistic about this long skirted outfit the way she's wearing it.

The podcast focuses on the changes between the Medicare Shared Savings Program proposed and final rules, including the streamlining of the quality reporting program from 65 measures around 5 domains to 33 measures around 4 domains. Other changes include assigning patients to ACOs on a prospective process, which allows ACOs to have a better understanding of their patient mix prior to implementing clinical and quality programs to improve care and lower costs, and removing the condition of participation that 50% of the primary care physicians must meet the electronic health record "meaningful use" criteria to participate in an ACO.

One of Shakespeare's early plays, As You Like It (1598-1599), is a stock romantic comedy that was familiar to Elizabethan audiences as an exemplar of "Christian" comedy. Although the play does include two offstage spiritual conversions, the "Christian" designation does not refer to religion itself. Instead, it denotes the restoration and regeneration of society through the affirmation of certain Christian values such as brotherly love, marital union, tolerance for different viewpoints, and optimism about life at large. The plot is very simple: the resolution of the dramatic problem in the warped attitudes of two evil brothers toward good brothers, and related obstacles to marriage for several couples in the play (most notably Rosalind and Orlando) are easily overcome, and a happy ending is never in doubt. On one level, the play was clearly intended by Shakespeare as a simple, diverting amusement; several scenes in As You Like It are essentially skits made up of songs and joking banter. But on a somewhat deeper level, the play provides opportunities for its main characters to discuss a host of subjects (love, aging, the natural world, and death) from their particular points of view. At its center, As You Like It presents us with the respective worldviews of Jaques, a chronically melancholy pessimist preoccupied with the negative aspects of life, and Rosalind, the play's Christian heroine, who recognizes life's difficulties but holds fast to a positive attitude that is kind, playful, and, above all, wise. In the end, the enjoyment that we receive from the play's comedy is reinforced and validated by a humanistic Christian philosophy gently woven into the text by a benevolent Shakespeare.

Open-end mutual funds that invest in alternative strategies have had a good year. According to Morningstar, investors have poured more than $28 billion into this category through Aug. 31, the highest growth level of all fund categories tracked by the research firm.
Alternative funds are attracting attention from regulators and the media, not all of it favorable. For example, regulators have been critical of some of their fees, suitability requirements and lack of liquidity.
Plus, many alternative products' recent returns have been trailing the S&P 500 Index, though some investors and experts use such products not to keep up with the major indexes but to earn "reasonable returns" along with diversification.
Andrew Clark, manager of alternative-investment research for Lipper, has taken an in-depth look at the risk-return characteristics and diversification benefits of some products.
Clark put together a hypothetical, broadly diversified portfolio consisting of six long-only asset classes: bonds (U.S. and international); global equities; commodities and real estate (U.S. and international). He used a total of six mutual funds and ETFs to track these markets:
- iShares Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate ETF (IYR)
- Fidelity International Real Estate (FIREX)
- Barclay's Aggregate Bond ETF (AGG)
- GSCI Commodity ETF (GSG)
- Vanguard Global Equity (VHGEX)
- T. Rowe Price International Bond (RPIBX)
He then measured a set of risk-return measures for these funds from March 2007 through September 2012: return, volatility, downside deviation, Sharpe and Sortino ratios, skewness and excess kurtosis (or peakedness in distribution).
Using Lipper's alternative investment categories' averages for each strategy's proxy, he calculated the same risk-return statistics for each alternative strategy:
- Long/short
- Long/short equity
- Long/short bond
- Global macro
- Multi-strategy
- Market-neutral
- Arbitrage
- Managed futures
- Commodities
- Quant
- Currency
- Event-driven
Clark found that several of alternatives strategies (when used as stand-alone investments) had greater returns, less extreme risk and often better risk-adjusted returns.
The expert also created portfolios that combined long positions with several arbitrage strategies: arbitrage, global macro, long/short equity and market-neutral. He tested portfolio allocation to the alternatives of 5%, 15% and 30%.
The 30% allocation is on the high end for most advisors working with retail clients. A survey conducted by Morningstar and Barron's last year found that 63% of responding advisors allocated 6% to 20% of clients' assets to alternatives; only 4% allocated more than 40%.
Still, Clark's calculations showed that a 30% allocation produced better significantly better results than a 5% allocation. "At the 5% level there is hardly any change in any of the (portfolio) metrics. At the 30% level, return, volatility, downside deviation and risk-adjusted return are better. Skewness tends to be better, while kurtosis is typically worse, especially for commodities and world equity. This better performance at the 30% level is typical of all the alternatives tested, i.e. arbitrage, global macro, market neutral, and long/short equity funds, and seems to indicate that a higher allocation to alternatives can improve the performance of a portfolio more than a lower level of investment in alternatives," he explained.
The data build a solid case for including alternatives, says Clark, provided investors are willing to make an adequate allocation.
"When I talk to financial advisors and to other people who deal with alternatives, the number that's often bounced around, in terms of a good alternative allocation for a risk averse to moderately risk averse investor, is somewhere between 20% and 30% to make the magic work," he says.
Investors also need to understand that most alternatives' defensive nature.
"What happens is that the good alternatives, meaning the ones that will give you that sort of protection, very typically don't perform as well as the stock market in general does," he cautions. "In fact, it can severely underperform it. So, to get that downside protection you have to be able to tolerate (and be) comfortable if the stock market made 20% last year, you may only end up making 10 or 15. You pay something for the insurance basically."

Are you an RIA or a ZIA—zombie investment advisor? That is the question, or challenge at least, put forward by one third-party money manager trying to get your attention and maybe even partner with you in managing client assets.
Niemann Capital Management, which provides separately managed ETF portfolios following a variety of popular strategies, can fairly boast some eye-peeling performance. Those numbers, both short and long term, are astutely included on the Northern California-based firm's RIA Zombie Survival Guide, recently posted on the firm's blog.
The marketing campaign, created by Reno, Nev.-based O'Connor Marketing, targets RIAs with some familiar marketing messages that managed money firms typically make, dressed up in blood-spattered animated corpse style.
The message is that advisors should avoid Wall Street's walking dead, i.e., advisors who assume the risk of purveying their own rather than professional money management of the kind Niemann can provide.
For example, if you make portfolio decisions for your clients that underperform, "you get infected by zombies and fired by your clients," Niemann's guide advises. "If a hired money manager underperforms for long, they get bitten and you keep the AUM."
Allying with a third-party money manager, who will perform better than an RIA, will help "stave off zombie infiltration" and allow advisors to concentrate on raising assets and serving clients, the guide adds.
While these are all stock-in-trade arguments for the SMA industry, Niemann's chief strategy officer, Charles Halliday, says the zombie metaphor serves to "distill boring financial language in simple terms."
Noting that we live in an "entertainment culture," Nieman told AdvisorOne in a phone interview that investment ideas that are conveyed in an entertaining and fun way help to differentiate his firm.
"The jury is out regarding the SEC in terms of how they see some of this," he added. But entertainment-based communications, social media and blogging are "a reality that big firms are embracing, and this allows us to be competitive."
O'Connor Marketing's CEO, Patrick O'Connor, author of the campaign, says the campaign has gone viral, an inference he makes from the fact that the campaign is getting more hits than the number of advisors he sent it to in a test.
"Everyday language is very clinical, very dry," O'Connor told AdvisorOne. "By putting entertainment into it you get people to join the discussion."
Niemann's message is that advisors should not be tempted to think they can claim extra fees through money management but rather through gathering assets and leveraging a third-party money manager. Aside from investment performance, that manager can aid the advisor's communication with clients through periodic investment updates, blogs and social media, as well as videos, podcasts and webcasts. Some of those communications will doubtless tell the story of Niemann's "short-term zombie kills," including Niemann Dynamic, which ranked highest in Morningstar's ETF Managed Portfolios database of 613 funds for the trailing 12 months ending May 31. Other short-term triumphs are five of its funds that ranked in the Top 5 in recent PSN Informa Rankings.
The Zombie Survival Guide also depicts some zombie slayings under "long-term zombie kills," including several funds that trounced the S&P 500 over periods going back as far as 16 years.
Niemann's Risk Managed fund returned an average annual 9.74% since its 1996 inception compared with the S&P's 7.06%. Its Dynamic Fund more than doubled the S&P's performance since the fund's 1997 inception date.
And during two crushing bear markets—2000 to 2002 and 2007 to 2009 — several Niemann funds lost far less than the S&P. Its Risk Managed fund lost just 0.07% in the 2000-2002 bear market compared to the S&P's loss of 47.38% during that period.
Says O'Connor: "It's hard to be a top-ranked portfolio manager and top-ranked communicator…so it makes sense to find partners for your business. Niemann Capital Management has been around since the early 1990s. It's market–tested, not back tested," he says.
For his part, Halliday says campaigns like the Zombie Survival Guide are "going to be a growing part of our business" — a way "for a boutique like us" to get noticed, he says.

One of the goals I had on my trip to Ontario and Quebec, was to try to find any reference I could about the marriage of John (Jack) McDonald and Sarah Maria Burns. Jack, as he was called, is a son of Archibald and Mary McDonell. There are other John Archibald McDonell/McDonalds in the area so you do have to be careful to not confuse them.
They were still in Chichester in 1901 according to the Canadian Census that had an enumeration date of March 31, 1901.
In the 1901 Canadian census for Chichester, Pontiac County, Quebec we find Mary and Archie still living in the area along with their son John (Jack).
McDonald, Archie, farmer, 63 years old. Birth date is October [5,] 1837. Place of birth is Canada, which is written over with Quebec. Racial origin is given as Scottish, nationality is Canadian. Religion is Catholic. He can read, write and speaks English. His mother tongue is English. McDonald, Mary, birth date is March 13 , 1840, 60 years old. McDonald, John birth date is June 16, 1872, he is 28 years old.
Source: 1901 Canadian Census, Chichester, Pontiac Co., Quebec CC Film #T6538, 1800 Pontiac, pg. 116.
The marriage was 20 August 1901 as written in the St. Alphonsus Catholic Church Record.

I tried the Pembroke newspaper published abstracts for vital records, but didn't find any article about this marriage.
Births, Marriages and Deaths from the Pembroke, Ontario Newspapers Vol I. 1900-1906, Compiled by Members of the Upper Ottawa Valley Genealogical Group, 2003.
Elaine (Burns) Brown writes that the wedding party probably…
"…celebrated at the home of Sarah's cousin Ida Coghlan's parents (Margaret) Ida Coghlan was the daughter of Ellen and James Coghlan. Ellen was Catherine (McMahon) Burn's sister." Ida is a witness to the marriage.
I was planning on looking at the actual Pembroke newspaper but didn't have time to go to the Pembroke Public Library or at UVOGG. I had made plans to visit Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa, and had requested the Pembroke newspapers. When I arrived on Monday, May 28th they had the other newspaper films I had ordered but for some reason the Pembroke newspapers were missing. Elaine reports that there was a break in the Pembroke newspaper from August 16, 1901 to January 3, 1902. That is the critical time frame that I needed. When reviewing the LAC information for the Pembroke newspaper I see that this break is there. Still I did not get any Pembroke newspapers at the LAC.
Pembroke Observer.
NJ.FM.1018 F 1, 1867- 1898; 1900- Ag 16, 1901; Ja 3- Ag 22, 1902; 1906; 1913 AN 7158329 and AN 6945397
I also tried the Renfrew published newspaper abstracts for vital records but did not find anything of interest. LAC has a nice listing of the volumes for the Mercury.
I did not study the Shawville newspapers at LAC because they didn't have the timeframe I needed. I did look at the McDonell/MacDonald/McDonald genealogical files at the Pontiac Archives in Shawville and didn't find anything on the marriage.
At the Arnprior Archives I checked the newspaper abstracts for the Arnprior Watchman which are listed –
By doing this review of the local newspapers I learn the focus of that paper and eliminate possibilities.
The ultimate goal was to place the timeframe that Archibald, Mary, Jack and Sarah left Chichester for Minnesota. Archie went back to Glengarry per Miriam's notes so I would think he would do that before winter set in. Did he go there after the wedding in August 1901?
The following picture is of Sarah, an unknown young girl, and Jack (John Archibald McDonell). It was taken in International Falls about 1913. This photograph was shared by Elaine (Burns) Brown. On the right side panel of this blog under "Family History Websites of Interest" is the link a link to Elaine's website: Welcome: Burns, Hughes, Somerville, Gentle.
UPDATE: January 9, 2013 The unknown girl is found. Please refer to the comments below on this post to learn the identify of this young girl.

David Spade
Nominated in 1999 for an Emmy Award for his memorable role as Dennis Finch, the wise-cracking, power-hungry assistant on "Just Shoot Me," David Spade became a household favorite during his five-year stint as a cast member of NBC's "Saturday Night Live." The comedian was also nominated for a Golden Globe in 2000, an American Comedy Award in 1999, for his work on "Just Shoot Me". Spade's television and film career continues to grow.
Most recently Spade was seen starring in Sony Pictures' GROWN UP'S 2 alongside Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Kevin James. The film is a follow up to the 2010 hit comedy about a group of childhood friends who reunite years later. The film was released on July 12, 2013 and grossed $42 million opening weekend.
On the small screen, Spade was recently seen on the seventh and final season of the CBS comedy "Rules of Engagement." The show was produced by Sony's Happy Madison Productions and centered around three men, in different stages of their relationships: married, engaged and single. The half hour situational comedy stared Spade as the content bachelor and serial dater, as the comedy follows this unique friendship. The show enjoyed excellent ratings throughout all seven seasons.
Last year, Spade was heard as the voice of the 'Griffin invisible man' in the animated feature, HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA alongside Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, Steve Buscemi, Kevin James, and Andy Samberg to name a few.
In 2010, Spade was seen on the big screen in the Happy Madison/ Sony comedy GROWN UPS alongside Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Salma Hayek, Chris Rock and Steve Buscemi. The film grossed $268 million worldwide.
Spade was also seen on "The Showbiz Show" for Comedy Central from 2005-2007. Spade created, executive produced, hosted and wrote the show along with pal Hugh Fink (former "SNL" writer). The critically acclaimed half hour comedy spoof on Hollywood, a la Spade's famed "Saturday Night Live" sketch "Hollywood Minute," featured Spade's biting comedy and quick wit and he once again became a favorite among fans and industry peers.
Spade starred Sony Pictures' box office hit BENCHWARMERS about a trio of guys who try and make up for missed opportunities in childhood by forming a three-player baseball team to compete against standard little league squads. The film which also stars Jon Heder, Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider opened at #1 in April 2006, making over 20 million in its first weekend.
In 2003, Spade starred in Paramount's DICKIE ROBERTS: FORMER CHILD STAR, which he co-wrote with Fred Wolf. Adam Sandler's Happy Madison production company produced the film, which enjoyed a #1 opening weekend slot at the box office. In it he plays a struggling actor who hasn't seen the light of fame since puberty. He fixates on a movie role that will bring his career back to life, but in order to get it, he has to re-live his childhood. He proceeds to rent a family in order to learn how to be a normal kid. DICKIE ROBERTS has the same smart, dry comedy as all of Spade's movies, but also has an incredible heartwarming effect as you watch him grow with and learn from his "rented" brother and sister.
In 2001, Spade starred in Columbia Tristar's JOE DIRT of which he also co-wrote. In this Happy Madison production, Spade portrays 'Joe' a man searching for his parents who abandoned him as a baby at the Grand Canyon. JOE DIRT enjoyed enormous success at the box-office and continues to be a top selling DVD.
Spade co-starred with "SNL" alumnus Chris Farley in the films TOMMY BOY and BLACKSHEEP, and the pair won a 1996 MTV Movie Award for 'Best On-Screen Duo' for the former. His other feature credits include REALITY BITES, LIGHT SLEEPER, and CONEHEADS. In 1999, Spade starred the romantic comedy LOST & FOUND, for which he also co-wrote the screenplay.
In addition to "SNL," Spade has guest-starred on the critically acclaimed "The Larry Sanders Show" and appeared in HBO's "13thAnnual Young Comedians Special." In 1999 he headlined his own HBO special, "David Spade: Take the Hit."
Born in Birmingham, Michigan, and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, Spade began his career by performing stand-up comedy in clubs, theaters and colleges across the country. He made his television debut on "SNL: and was soon named the Hot Stand-UpComedian of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine. Some of Spade's memorable characters on 'SNL," where he served as both a writer and a performer, included the sarcastic "Hollywood Minute" reporter on "Weekend Update" and he also started the catch phrases "And you are…?" and "Buh-Bye!".

Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead, and June was still a dismal month for bond fund and bond ETF flows.
Morningstar confirmed on Friday previously reported figures that found investors withdrew an estimated $43.8 billion from taxable-bond funds and $16.4 billion from municipal-bond funds, making June the worst month on record for bond funds in terms of total outflows.
Long-term funds overall shed $47.3 billion, the largest monthly outflow since $105.6 billion in October 2008. The Chicago-based research and reporting firm estimates net flows by computing the change in assets not explained by the performance of the fund.
Morningstar specifically noted that intermediate-term bond funds lost $24.4 billion in June, dragged down by outflows of $9.6 billion from PIMCO Total Return. DoubleLine Total Return saw redemptions of $1.2 billion, its first monthly outflow. Other weak-performing bond categories included long government, emerging-markets bond, and inflation-protected bond.
During the first week of July, however, investors changed their tune on where central-bank policymaking is heading and poured nearly $6 billion into equity funds and over $2 billion into bond funds, according to the EPFR Global.
Additional highlights (or lowlights, depending on one's point of view) from Morningstar's report include:
- Not all fixed-income categories suffered in June and the year-to-date period. Bank-loan funds have collected more assets than any other category in 2013, and nontraditional bonds have come in third.
- International-equity and alternative funds had net inflows in June. Among international-equity funds, Oakmark International, which has a Morningstar analyst rating of Gold, continued its string of strong inflows, collecting $753 million. The fund has doubled in size in the last year, absorbing nearly $5 billion and achieving a 35% return year to date.
- At the firm level, PIMCO led outflows, with redemptions of $14.5 billion, followed by Fidelity with $5.1 billion. Vanguard saw its first firm-level outflows (including exchanged-traded and money-market funds) in nearly 20 years. MFS topped all providers with inflows of $1.4 billion.

If you play soccer, you know the sport demands a lot from your body. You need strength and stamina to move to the ball, take control, and boot it into the goal. But what does it take to play at the highest level, like the U.S. Women's Soccer Team?
Lightning reflexes? Fierce determination? Kris Clark, the team's nutritionist, agrees with those, but would add another: healthy food that's packed with energy and nutrients.
Clark works with the team to help players understand the power of good nutrition. She holds team meetings and also talks with players individually about making smart choices.
"Nutrition is really a training tool," Clark said. "We always want to focus on what you want your body to do. Your body is a machine."
And that machine needs more than just calories, Clark said. All food contains calories, which are units of energy that your body then uses to function. But healthier foods contain more vitamins and nutrients, so those calories are packed with stuff your body needs to work as well as it possibly can.
"We want to make every calorie the best calorie. Yes, any calorie will give you some energy, but a nutrient-packed calorie will help your body operate at its very best," Clark said.
At dinnertime, that might mean choosing pasta with tomato sauce or a meat sauce instead of just noodles with butter and cheese. You'll get vitamins from the tomato sauce and protein from a meat sauce, Clark said. Players need those nutrients to perform well in their 90-minute games and 3-hour-long practice sessions.
Clark stresses the need for protein, especially among players who tend to avoid red meat. Female athletes often neglect protein, but they do need an adequate amount of protein to maintain the muscles they have, Clark said. She points them toward lower-fat sources of protein, such as chicken and eggs, as well as non-meat protein sources, such as tofu.
With all the physical demands on the U.S. team, it's not enough to have energy some of the time, so Clark also aims to keep the players' energy level up throughout the day. Smart snacking is part of her strategy for avoiding highs and lows. She teaches players that feeling hungry means energy levels are falling.
"Eating frequently throughout the day is really critical for people who burn a lot of calories," Clark said.
But that doesn't mean just any snack — or unlimited amounts. She suggests a piece of fruit, a serving of nuts, or celery with peanut butter. And she doesn't recommend those 100-calorie snack packs. They may be 100 calories, but most are not rich in nutrients, like fruit or nuts would be, Clark said.
Players also must pay attention to energy and calorie needs when they are injured. An athlete might be in such a set routine that she just keeps eating as usual even though she isn't playing or practicing as usual, Clark said. To avoid weight gain and stay strong, she tells players to continue eating their favorite healthy foods, but to reduce the portions and switch to water as a drink.
Drinks are an important part of the overall nutrition strategy, Clark said. She encourages sports drinks, but only during practice and games when players' energy supplies are depleted and they need to refuel. Her top beverage picks are milk, water with a squeeze of lemon, smoothies, and 100% fruit juice.
"When we're at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I'd rather see them drink a nutritional beverage," said Clark, who is also director of sports nutrition at Penn State University.
The women's soccer team travels all over the world to compete. It's Colorado one day and Sweden the next. That means the players spend plenty of time away from their home base and lots of hours in airports. Clark still encourages the "make every calorie count" approach even when the team is on the road.
In airports, she tells players to choose fruit, yogurt, salad with lean protein (such as egg or chicken), sandwiches with lean protein and veggies, or trail mix.
Even at a fast food restaurant, players can find what their bodies need, Clark said. She suggests this fast food meal: milk and a grilled chicken sandwich. Still hungry? Clark tells players to order another chicken sandwich instead of adding French fries.
Eating abroad was extra challenging during the 2008 Olympics, when 18 of the players traveled to China to compete as the U.S. Olympic team. They took home the gold! But they couldn't perform at their best without good nutrition. Due to concerns that the food supply in China was unsafe, the U.S. Olympic teams shipped in their own food and brought their own chef.
Clark encouraged the soccer players to take their own snacks and supplemental foods. They packed dried fruit, peanut butter, sports bars, cans of tuna, and even beef jerky, said Clark, who serves on the U.S. Olympic Sports Medicine Advisory Committee.
Rachel Buehler was a 2008 Olympic gold medal winner for the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. Here's what she had to say about eating right.
I love all kinds of fruits and vegetables. My favorite fruits are strawberries, blueberries, and nectarines. My favorite vegetables are asparagus, Brussels sprouts, and artichokes.
I like having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
I usually crave something salty.
I love chocolate. I do try to limit my chocolate intake, but it is also important to not deprive yourself.
My dad is a doctor and my family has always eaten healthy foods. One small change is that for breakfast I try to eat oatmeal or eggs instead of the processed cereals that I ate as a kid.
When you are working hard it is important to fuel your body with good food. Make sure that you are getting enough fruits and veggies, which are packed with important nutrients.
Clark said she shared this recipe with the team because it offers a strong combination of nutrients in an easy-to-make dish. You'll get protein from the chicken; more protein, vitamin D, and calcium from the cheese; and vitamins A and C from the tomato sauce.

text: Friday, November 02, 2012 CMS Issues Final 2013 Physician Fee Schedule Rule On November 1, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released the final 2013 Medicare physician fee schedule rule, which sets the therapy cap amount on outpatient therapy services for 2013 at $1,900; updates 2013 payment amounts for physicians, physical therapists, and other health care professionals; and revises other payment policies. The therapy cap exceptions process will expire on December 31 unless Congress acts to extend it. Additional policies that will impact physical therapists include implementation of new functional status codes for reporting therapy services and updates to the Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS). The final rule includes a 26.5% across-the-board reduction to Medicare payment rates for physicians, physical therapists, and other professionals due to the flawed sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula. Since 2003, Congress had enacted legislation preventing the reduction every year. CMS announces that it is "committed to fixing the SGR update methodology and ensuring these payment cuts do not take effect." Excluding the 26.5% projected SGR payment cut, the aggregate impact on payment of changes in the rule for outpatient physical therapy is a positive 4% in 2013. As required by the Middle Class Tax Relief Jobs Creation Act of 2012, CMS will begin to collect data on claim forms about patient functional status for patients receiving outpatient physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy beginning January 1, 2013. Therapists will be required to report new G codes accompanied by modifiers on the claim form that convey information about a patient's functional limitations and goals at initial evaluation, every 10 visits, and at discharge. This data is for informational purposes and not linked to reimbursement. Until July 1, 2013, claims will be processed regardless of the inclusion of functional limitation codes. Beginning July 1, 2013, all claims must include the functional limitation codes in order to be paid by Medicare. APTA's comments on the proposed fee schedule rule had a significant impact in this area of the final rule, which reflects many of the association's recommendations. For 2013 the reporting period for PQRS will be based on a 12-month reporting time frame. The bonus payment amount will be .5%. Calendar year 2013 also will be used as the reporting period for the 2015 PQRS payment adjustment of -1.5%. Successful reporting requirements for the program will remain as they were in 2012, requiring that participants report a minimum of 3 individual measures or 1 group measure via claims-based reporting on 50% or more of all eligible Medicare patients, or report a minimum of 3 individual measures or 1 group measure via registry reporting on 80% or more of all eligible Medicare patients. The final rule with comment period will appear in the November 16 Federal Register. APTA will post a detailed summary of the final rule shortly. [Update as of 5:00 pm: APTA's summary of the rule is available at www.apta.org/Payment/Medicare/CodingBilling/FeeSchedule/.] Comments What are the new G codes and modifers for PT, ST,OT? Are they to be used for Outpatient charges? Posted by Mary Vorst on 11/6/2012 4:32 PM Yeah! More work. Posted by Carol Barker on 11/7/2012 1:36 PM HAS A DECISION BEEN MET REGARDING THERAPY CAP AND IS SO ARE THE G CODES UPDATED YET. Posted by jeanette on 1/2/2013 10:49 AM
