American Heart Association turns to open innovation
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
Earlier this week I attended the Open Innovation Summit at the Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst, where I participated on a panel on crowdsourcing. It was fascinating and inspiring to see how the pharma and biotech industries are beginning to embrace open innovation.
This blog has had a number of healthcare related posts over the past year, with a growing number of case studies of open innovation in the industry, whether it's using crowds for better diagnosis or gamifying the research process. The latest in the canon of medical applications of open innovation is the open innovation challenge launched by the American Heart Association.
The challenge was launched to try and improve the readmission rates of patients who are hospitalised due to heart failure. Figures suggest that around 25% of such patients are readmitted to hospital within 30 days. The AHA open innovation challenge is seeking an early stage product that uses consumer technology to help either prevent or manage cardiovascular disease and stroke.
A $25,000 prize is available for the final three, with the AHA already reducing the field to a shortlist of 10 submissions, who are now turning to the medical crowdfunding site Medstartr to help them run a 30-day campaign via the site. The three winners will then be selected based on the amount of money raised, the number of social shares, and the input from a panel of expert judges.
Those teams will be invited to the association's Health Sciences Innovation Investment Forum in NYC in March to present to investors and healthcare leaders. The winners will receive $25,000 in grants.
There are a number of interesting projects in the running. Health Recovery Solutions for instance have developed an iPad application to assist patients with their condition. It will allow clinicians to monitor what patients are doing after they are released from hospital and ensure they're on track with their recovery.
In the seven hospitals that currently use the program, patients are given a tablet before being discharged that's loaded with the program. It gives them instructions to perform and track key actions like taking their medications, weighing themselves and staying active. Their data is sent to the cloud, where predictive analytics and algorithms determine if a care team should be alerted about a patient whose condition is deteriorating.
Other interesting projects include two wearable sensors and a filter to remove toxins from donated blood before it's transmitted to the patient. View all of the finalists, donate or vote here.Original post

7 points from 9 matches in Iran Pro League was the achievement of Manuel Jose's in Persepolis FC. Sepahan stunned Tehran based club, Persepolis FC, in the ninth week of Iran's league.
In the first half both sides created several goal opportunities, however Sepahan had better performance in compare to Persepolis FC. Moharram Navidkia, the Capitan of Sepahan, lost the best goal chance in the first half after receiving a great pass from Mohammad Reza Khalatbari. After a few minutes Javad Kazemian, Winger of Persepolis, create a fantastic opportunity for Mohammad Nouri but he wasted that opportunity too.
Sepahan was the better side in the second half. Adel Kolahkaj scored the first goal of the match for his side on 52′. Mehdi Mahdavikia couldn't control the ball in front of their goal and it resulted into a good pass for Kolahkaj. After conceding the first goal, Persepolis increased its pressure on Sepahan but they didn't have any special tactic to score equalizer goal. Sepahan performed dangerous counter-attacks and in one of them Albanian striker Xhevahir Sukaj scored the second goal for Sepahan. In the last minutes of the game, Zlatko Kranjcar was not happy with the performance of his players.
Isfahani fans booed two former players of Sepahan, Mohsen Bengar and Jalal Hosseini. These players left Sepahan to join Tehran's Persepolis and the managers of Sepahan failed to convince them to stay in Isfahan.

Emily Meierding writes: When China's Haiyang Shiyou 981 oil rig sailed into waters off the Paracel Islands in May 2014, it provoked an international crisis. Hanoi insisted that the rig was operating illegally in Vietnamese territory. Both countries sent naval and fishing vessels to enforce their claims. Commentators predicted that the two states might come to blows.
The confrontation died down, but a critical question remains: Do countries fight over oil resources?
The question isn't just pertinent to the South China Sea. The Arctic, Caspian, East China Sea and eastern Mediterranean have all been identified as potential "hot spots" for international oil conflicts. Numerous conflicts, including Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Japan's invasion of the Dutch East Indies in World War II, Germany's attacks against the Russian Caucasus in the same war, the Iran-Iraq War, the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay, and even the Falklands War, have been described as international "oil wars."
However, contrary to the conventional wisdom, the risk of international oil wars is slim. Although oil is an exceptionally valuable strategic and economic resource, fighting for it does not pay.
The belief that countries fight for oil rests on a flawed foundational assumption: Countries reap the same benefits from foreign oil resources as from domestic oil resources.
In reality, profiting from oil wars is hard.
Countries face at least four sets of obstacles that discourage them from fighting for oil: invasion costs, occupation costs, international costs and investment costs. [Continue reading…]

Former baseball star Curt Schilling is probably going to be ushered into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., when the results of voting by baseball writers is revealed on Jan. 18.
But Schilling, a conservative's conservative, is outraged that some writers are leaving him off their ballot and he thinks it's because of his support for Donald Trump.
Schilling says the writers are judging his character, not his performance:
"[They] are not hiding the fact that they've stopped voting for me because of the thing I've said on social media. That's their prerogative as voters….Fair doesn't enter into it…My dad told me when you leave home at 18, the word 'fair' goes out the window. I'm OK with that…the world's not going to treat you fair…if they don't believe my baseball talent merits me getting in the Hall of Fame, so be it."
Some writers have already revealed their ballots, with some leaving Schilling off.
NJ.com writer Randy Miller went further, calling Schilling "a scumbag," the same term Schilling used to describe baseball writers. Miller was a beat writer in Philadelphia when Schilling pitched for the Phillies.
Schilling has stated that he believes that his political views are costing him a lot of votes, but I'm not taking this stance because he's a conservative.
I'm a conservative.
And I'm not punishing him for his stupid comments that got him fired from his ESPN analyst's job in April 2016.
So why am I not voting for Schilling?
It's not because I'd be embarrassed by "Cousin Schill" at the next family reunion. It's because I just won't allow myself to vote for a guy who's always been a scumbag.
"This is why I don't lose sleep over this," Schilling responded during an interview on Boston's WEEI. "When you understand human beings like this guy have a control over the Hall of Fame vote … they invoke the character clause randomly. This is why I don't lose sleep."
Miller's colleague, Bob Klapisch, however, says Schilling's got his vote, despite retweeting a controversial tweet before the election advocating the lynching of journalists.
Schilling subsequently explained the tweet was "100 percent sarcasm," but that hasn't slowed the movement to punish him. Many voters are now using that language as evidence that Schilling fails the Hall's character clause.
Schilling has a dark side to his personality, and he clearly he doesn't like sports writers. But anyone who thinks that tweet was an actual call for lynching should stop hyperventilating. There's a difference between a guy with a temper and grudge and one who'll countenance murder. Schilling is one but absolutely not the other.
To my peers, I offer this counsel: get over it. Schilling isn't the only hater in baseball history, and he won't be the last. In fact, I'm not even sure he's the worst. No one worked harder to sabotage reporters than Eddie Murray in the 1992 season at Shea, yet he got my vote for Cooperstown without a second thought.
Steve Buckley, of the Boston Herald, gave Schilling his vote, too, but is clear that he doesn't care for the guy.
Further, I didn't even need to think it over this year. Though offended by the lynching photo — and equally offended by an earlier insult to the transgender community that got him fired from his ESPN gig — I don't believe these acts of boorishness preclude Schilling from being in the Hall of Fame. Schilling has a bloody sock and a tin ear. The former is one of the reasons he should be in the Hall of Fame, but the latter shouldn't keep him out.
If this is where you expect me to chastise those baseball writers who used the lynching photo as a reason to not vote for Schilling, well, no, sorry. This issue is deeply personal for journalists in that our craft is under fire, its very future in doubt. I see that. I feel that. I agonize over that. And if there are writers who believe a vote against Schilling is a vote for the future of journalism, I'm not going to stop them. It's just that I don't connect the two.
Schilling will need 75 percent of the votes cast to go to the Hall of Fame.
"This is Schilling's mess. This is his world. The real world," Buckley said.

A new report from Bellwether Education Partners titled Rethinking Teacher Preparation: Empowering Local Schools to Solve the Teacher Shortage and Build Better Teachers outlines strategies to improve teacher preparation programs in California public schools. The report is in response to worsening teacher shortages throughout the state.
"The report's recommendations call for California policy makers to empower public schools and teacher preparation programs to build partnerships and encourage innovative pathways to the classroom that maintain high standards," said Bellwether Education Partners in a statement.
According to the statement, in the 2013-2014 school year, California hired over 6,000 teachers less than needed and that the year saw a 37% increase "of teachers working on emergency permits which do not require teacher training or ongoing support of any kind."
The company hopes its recommendations for strengthening teacher preparation programs will help California avoid an impending crisis.
"[A]ccording to a national study, 'the benefit to students of having a teacher from the best teacher preparation program is comparable to that of lowering class size by five to ten students.'"
"Unfortunately, California's current reliance on credential type as the determining factor in whether a teacher is labeled 'qualified' without taking classroom effectiveness into account hinders the state's ability to evaluate how "graduates are performing once they enter California schools, or whether some programs produce better teachers than others,' the report finds."
One of the biggest recommendations the report makes is an increase in partnerships between local schools and preparation providers; it highlights several important partnerships throughout the state that it says has driven recruitment numbers up and created a teacher workforce that best serves its students.
The report says in order to achieve successful partnerships, a district must focus on:
In order to keep said preparation programs going, the report recommends districts incentivize the program, encourage local teacher recruitment pipelines, create a way to evaluate the success of the program, reduce the reliance of credential type as the sole factor to label a teacher qualified, and lastly invest state resources into the programs.
"'To reach the goal of excellent teachers in every California classroom we have to be open to promising new approaches that are preparing teachers who are local, qualified, diverse, ready to meet the needs of their students, and committed to the profession and their school,' said Shane Martin, Ph.D., Dean of the LMU School of Education, whose partnerships with Los Angeles schools were highlighted in the report," according to the company's statement.

Lemaire too late to save these poor Devils
It remains to be seen how struggling sniper Ilya Kovalchuk will play better for a coach whose defense-first system has become an anachronism since the 2004-05 lockout. (Rich Kane/Icon SMI)
By Stu Hackel
Merry Christmas, John MacLean. You're fired. And down the Devils' chimney once again comes Jacques Lemaire who, depending on your perspective, is either hockey's smartest coach since Scotty Bowman or the evil genius who ruined the NHL. But if the purpose of this change is to get New Jersey into the playoffs, it may be too late.
The Devils take the ice tonight (Thursday) against the Islanders -- yes, the red hot Islanders, who have grabbed five of six points in their last three games -- and will be trying to escape the NHL's basement. Just writing that seems bizarre, but in a season where nearly everything that could possibly go wrong for the Devs has gone wrong, that's where they sit, tied with the Isles at 20 points each but actually behind them based on having played two more games. New Jersey's 22 losses are the most in the league.
How much of this coal lump of a season can be attributed to MacLean's coaching is debatable. "Under no set of circumstances should all of this responsibility be placed on (MacLean)," Devils president/GM Lou Lamoriello said today at Devils practice after he made the change (quoted by Tom Gulitti blogging for The Bergen Record). "The responsibility lies on the players and myself for what couldn't be done. Unfortunately, we just weren't getting it done."
And that's because the Devils have had some serious injury problems (Zach Parise, Bryce Salvador, Brian Rolston, and Martin Broduer for a while) and some seriously under-performing stars -- and here you can name them all, from Arnott to Zajac.
But the major disappointments begin with Ilya Kovalchuk, who has been a huge bust so far -- a productive Kovalchuk would have changed the entire picture -- and extend to Brodeur, who may or may not be showing his age and mileage, but hasn't been the goaltender who normally gives New Jersey a chance to win every game. More on Marty in a moment.
So, we trot out all the clichés -- that the NHL is a results-oriented business, that it's easier to fire a coach than it is to fire 23 players, and so on -- and the fact is that a lot of this is on the players.
Lamoriello is also right to put some of it on himself. We can perhaps excuse him for the Kovalchuk contract because -- while we'll probably never know for sure -- it's very possible that ownership had much to do with either the trade that brought him from Atlanta or the gargantuan deal that eats up so much cap space for so long, if not both.
But Lamoriello cannot be excused for what has happened to the talent level on Devils' defense corps, which has gone from a collection of All-Stars and stalwarts to one of bumbling veterans and jejune rookies. The forwards may not be producing, but the defensemen haven't been particularly good at getting them the puck and have too often wilted in the face of opposition pressure.
Which returns us to Brodeur, whose awful .893 save percentage reflects a couple of things: On one hand, he's facing more quality chances than he ever has before. On the other, he also does seem less fluid in the crease, his movements and reactions slower. But since he's never had so little help in front of him, it's hard to judge if age has overtaken him or if he's still got something left.
And that's why it's Lemaire who will be behind the bench in New Jersey when the Devils meet the Islanders. He said he was finished coaching after he left the Minnesota Wild in 2009, and repeated that when he left the Devils for a second time after last season. But if there ever was a coach whose profession was in his blood, it's Lemaire. Hockey's tactics and strategies are his passion, to the extent that his longtime teammate, coaching associate and close friend Larry Robinson, once said that Lemaire would be happiest if NHL games were played in empty arenas.
Yes, it was Lemaire who popularized the neutral zone trap, extracting the defensive part of the system he played in Montreal under Toe Blake, Claude Ruel, Al McNeil and his coaching mentor Bowman and elevating it into the game's central feature. It transformed an offensively challenged Devils team with a great defense corps and a talented young goalie into a champion and made the trap the scourge of hockey for those who love thrilling, creative offense and a free-flowing wide open game.
But in 2010, five years and more after new rules designed to transport the NHL away from the dark ages of the trap, here comes Lemaire yet again. To some extent, his hiring makes no sense at all. MacLean was brought in by Lamoriello (reluctantly, some believe, given that he could have hired him years earlier and delayed doing so after Lemaire left last spring) to finally bring the Devils into the new era. Lemarie's influence on the Devils remained pronounced even after he left to coach Minnesota. The coaches who succeeded him in New Jersey played defense-first hockey. But no club has had more problems recapturing its pre-lockout success than the Devils, and with weapons like Kovalchuck at MacLean's disposal, a new era of exciting winning hockey was expected.
It didn't happen. And a return to winning, boring hockey may not happen, either. But as the losses mounted and Jason Arnott said three weeks ago the playoffs looked like a lost cause, Lamoriello had to know a change was needed. The losses had to stop, not only to keep from ruining the attitudes of the many young players he's been forced to rush into the NHL, but also to get paying customers into the building and keep the loyalists from turning hostile.
Bringing back Lemaire will mean a return to the familiar structure of Devils hockey. The forwards will have to be more cautious, the defensemen will take fewer chances, the length of time spent in their own zone and the number of second shots on goal should decrease, and we'll get a better sense of whether Brodeur, the face of the franchise for nearly two decades, can still be an elite goalie in a more secure setting.
But an aging Lemaire and his stabilizing approach may not be a long-term solution. He didn't pull off any magic last year with this team, so why should this year be any different? Even if he can coax better play from this roster than MacLean did, the rules won't be rolled back to fit his style. The defense is suspect regardless of who is behind the bench.
And Lemaire must now try to solve the mystery of Kovalchuk, the guy who was brought in to succeed Brodeur as franchise cornerstone and new era hero. He's already cost them Johnny Oduya, Niclas Bergfors, Patrice Cormier, a first- and a second-round draft choice in the trade, millions upon millions in salary cap space until 2025, another first-round pick and third-round pick plus $3 million as penalty for circumventing the salary cap with his original new contract, and now -- with eight goals, 10 assists and a mind-blowing minus-22 rating (second worst in the league to teammate Andy Greene's minus-23) in 32 games -- he's had a big hand in costing John MacLean his job.
As we wrote months ago -- and it is increasingly so -- Kovalchuk is the gift that keeps on taking. It may be more blessed to give than to receive, but none of this is the kind of holiday spirit the Devils had in mind.
Merry Christmas.

Hi there...
I just wanted to pop in and shout out a howdy do to you.
I'm back from a memorable and magical *best-ever* vacation. I've been living a dream come true these past 10 days so it will take me some time to settle back into the routine of life.
We took tons of pictures while we were away. Oh my gosh we had so much fun! I uploaded the pix last night and was SUPER surprised to see we took 1,052 pictures! Thank goodness we're in the digital age! In the old days, to process that many pictures would have cost hundreds of dollars! As they were loading I asked Glen to guess how many pictures there were. He guessed 679. I thought, "That's crazy! No way!" Boy was I surprised! Now granted, we were on the road a lot so there are lots of blurry, fuzzy pictures of sky and guard rails, or "deleters," as my sister calls them, but there's definitely some keepers in there. :-)
SO much going on that I need to catch up with but the super-de-duper biggest thing going on is that the info for September's ComePlayEugene is up on Jill's blog!
I am absolutely thrilled to announce that I'm going to be teaching at Emily and Jill's ComePlayEugene! EEeeekkk! I'm SO honored to be a part of this fantastic event!!!! These girls are so talented and so fun and will take VERY good care of you! Activities planned include my Souvenir Journal class, lots of great treats and goodies, a slumber party, and a trip to the Coburg Antique Fair! You can join us for the full weekend or even just one of the class sessions.
Here are a few detail from the Souvenir Journal...
There's gonna be some very dear and talented people at ComePlayEugene including this gal and this gal! I hope you local gals and pals will plan on joining us!!! You can register here and if you have any questions, just let me know!
See you soon...I'll be back in a few days, renewed and recharged and ready to fly!!! :-)

Outcomes monitoring and management, sometimes termed Performance Measurement are receiving increasing attention due to the heightened emphasis on health care accountability and cost containment. Behavioral health and addiction treatment providers have been heavily criticized at many levels including the federal level for the lack in many cases and in others, the slow pace in which we have adopted outcome monitoring as an operational habit.
Efficient, electronic outcome monitoring systems are crucial tools if behavioral health providers are to successfully expect to compete in this hostile healthcare environment. Given the day to day press of everything else that has to be accomplished for those in the trenches delivering care, the ACG Group has a longstanding practical, effective outcome evaluation system that has been termed by CARF surveyors as a "national model".
Modern outcome evaluation systems must have the capability of successfully augmenting an organizations quality improvement process and program evaluation data by systematically collecting important data on patient characteristics and treatment outcomes. In addition, the ACG Group's capabilities includes statistical Outcome Reports. Regular Quality Assurance reports measuring performance data measured against national standards, can be utilized for Ql committee recommendations, for management oversight, all while providing credible information that can serve to inform stakeholders as well.
Historically, when addiction treatment services have been delivered and evaluated, it has usually been under an acute-care format. Fixed amounts or duration's of treatment in the past have been provided and their effects evaluated after completion of care. The measures or expectations for treatment have been generally enduring reductions in substance use, personal health and social improvement generally referred to as "recovery". In contrast, treatments for chronic illnesses such as diabetes and hypertension and asthma have been provided for indeterminate amounts periods and their effects continuously evaluated during the course of those treatments.
The many similarities between addiction and mainstream chronic medical illnesses stand in contrast to the differences in the ways addiction is conceptualized, treated and evaluated. In the newly conceptualized "recovery oriented systems of care" addiction is viewed as a chronic relapse prone brain-based disease bringing parallels to other chronic diseases and suggesting concurrent recovery monitoring. Thus, we evaluate patient outcomes using our computer-based survey system, at the initiation of treatment and at predetermined points throughout treatment and post discharge.
This updated process brings the benefits of outcome evaluation to decision-making during the course of treatment as well as following treatment episodes. We call this 'concurrent recovery monitoring' and believe it has the potential for producing more timely, efficient, clinically relevant and accountable evaluations.
One example of ACG's electronic Monitoring system is the assessment at admission of the level of trauma experienced by the patient as well as through the use of screening instruments embedded within the survey, clinicians can determine the need for trauma treatment services such as "Seeking Safety", a CBT intervention developed expressly for addiction treatment settings. By putting patients into this level of service, their trauma symptoms can be reduced permitting them to better engage in the main treatment process and reducing instances of relapse due to traumatic memories.
The same screen re-administered at the follow-up intervals indicates the level of progress or lack thereof. Thus the opportunity to improve services for individual clients through the monitoring system exists as well.

If you have a time-of-use (TOU) and/or demand charge pricing from your energy provider, you can use your Google Nest thermostat to schedule cooling or heating when it's less expensive to help save money. Note that these pricing programs have many variants and names, such as: TOU, demand charge, and peak time savings.
Most peak pricing is only available for electric systems. If you have a natural gas, heating oil, or liquid petroleum gas (LPG) boiler then you likely don't have a TOU plan, but you can check with your utility company.
When demand for electricity is especially high, like on a hot summer afternoon when many homes and businesses have the cooling turned up, this is called a "peak period." During peak periods, utilities may have to turn to less efficient sources of power generation to meet demand, or bring a whole new generator online just to make a little extra electricity available for people to use.
Learn about peak pricing
Some utilities use peak pricing to incentivize customers to avoid using energy during these peak periods. The most common type is called a TOU rate, which means customers pay more for the electricity they use during peak times.
During the summer, peak times are usually mid-to-late afternoon, when offices are still cooling, people are arriving home and turning on the air conditioner, and, in areas with lots of solar energy, solar generation is dropping. Another type of peak pricing is called a "demand charge" which means customers are charged based on the most energy they use at once during a peak period. Although slightly different, customers with either type of peak pricing can save money with a similar approach.
How a Nest thermostat can save you money on a TOU rate
If you have peak pricing and an HVAC system that is powered by electricity, you can use your Nest thermostat to schedule heating or cooling when it's less expensive. Optimize your schedule in one or two simple steps:
- Create a temperature schedule to condition your home during off-peak hours, typically before 4 PM and after 8 PM on winter and/or summer weekdays. Check your utility bill for peak hours in your area.
- Disable automatic switching for your thermostat when you leave or come home. In some cases, you can save more money (but less energy) by keeping your home closer to your preferred temperature while you're away. This way your system doesn't have to work as hard to condition your home when you come back during a peak rate period. Check with your energy provider to understand the specific times and rates for your TOU plan. After you disable automatic switching for your thermostat, you should also track your energy savings in the monthly Nest Home Report and compare them to your energy bill.

There are many differentiating factors between a blog and an article. The top three differences are - a blog is built around SEO keywords whereas in an article such keywords are avoided; an article is mostly informational and is written from a third-party view, on the other hand, a blog post describes things from a personal perspective i.e. first-person view; and lastly they both also differ in terms of length and style.
One cannot say for sure as to what kind of articles are the most common. However, articles that are data-rich or are in the form of listicles are in vogue.
The length of any article is subjective to the client's requirement. The length of a normal article could be anywhere between 400 to 1000 words.

Allow me to scold you for spinning controversies about the new president ("The Advocate," September) into straw men under the title "The Kroger Conspiracy." In addition to amusing them, why not also allow readers to consider serious efforts to help understand an unusual choice for Reed president?
Unusual? Kroger is the first Oregon resident to become Reed president since E.B. MacNaughton [1948–52] and the only elected politician from any state in its 100-year history.
Without quoting the many critical reviews of Kroger's tenure as Oregon attorney general in the local press, it is not sufficient to dismiss them as just so many "ruffled feathers in Salem." It was in the midst of political and legal actions against Kroger's leadership of the Jusice Department, some of which were upheld in court, that he announced he was resigning for health reasons and became publicly incommunicado. You deny the speculation that he quit to avoid the need to defend his record in a reelection campaign, but since we were all relieved by your report that he has fully recovered, the question remains why he chose to seek another job rather than recover during medical leave and run for another term.
The "conspiracies" you ignore are an honest effort to understand why Reed chose a local political figure at a time when it might profit from mending fences or rebuilding bridges with Portland that had fallen into disrepair over the decades as Reed developed from a local to a national institution. In recent years, Reed has had to confront local charges of having a lax drug policy. Could Kroger's Oregon experience and connections run interference against such criticism and help fix the longer-term problem?
Perhaps significantly, his choice to succeed himself was a prominent prosecutor with almost unanimous support from the law enforcement establishment and who called Oregon's medical marijuana law a "train wreck." To the delight of many Oregonians, Kroger's candidate was soundly defeated in the Democratic party primary by Ellen Rosenblum, the daughter of former Reed president Victor Rosenblum [1968–70], who considered the Oregon law just fine and declared that chasing after marijuana would not be her priority.
All this is not to prejudge Kroger's prospects as Reed president. He deserves our best wishes. Anyone who received the Leo Levinson award for teaching several times from graduating classes at Lewis and Clark Law School has earned himself some slack. Levinson was one of the courageous attorneys who represented Oregonians hostile to infamous HUAC's infamous political interrogation in 1954. You know—the "Velde" hearings that got Professor Stanley Moore fired by the Reed trustees.
Editor's Note: When one is being scolded by the likes of Mike Munk (a virtual institution unto himself), the prudent response is silence. But I will point out that the "Kroger Conspiracy" sidebar was intended to add a little levity and a few facts to the discussions, rather than ignoring them. As the profile noted, and as Mike now reiterates, some of Kroger's decisions as AG drew criticism. I chose not to plunge into the minutiae of Oregon prosecutorial politics, with its cavalcade of rivalries, turf wars, and teapot tempests, because I felt that there were more important issues in Kroger's background that clamored for our readers' attention. To print the extra pages required by even a cursory glance at the squabbling would have condemned a forest to the axe. I invite readers to pursue their own research and suspect they'll reach similar conclusions.
I don't think the recent primary has much relevance to Reed, except that as loyal Reedies we naturally applaud Rosenblum's victory. Nor do I subscribe to Mike's conviction that the roads of human history invariably converge on the Stanley Moore affair. However, I do share his hope that Kroger can help Reed mend some fences in Portland.

I just got told this today. That 500 words is the max! It really puzzles me, because I thought "early readers" were more of an inside industry production (i.e. the big publishing houses prefer to do early readers with their own staff writers, rather than pay contracts to external writers)
For what it's worth, I see "longer" PBs, maybe 400-700 words, written by an author and illustrated by someone else, still being published. If you're a writer, look to those as mentor texts, not ones created by an author-illustrator.
One more issue I run into, and what may be contributing to the 200-300 word books, is that so many agents are looking only for author/illustrators.
As others have repeatedly said, writer must grasp the fact that picture books are the illustrators' media. They are art books with text, not stories with occasional art, such as were common in our childhood.
500 words is a guideline. The key is to use only words that are necessary to show the story while letting the illustrator show everything illustrations can.

Read these 7 Electronic Coupon Programs Tips tips to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. Each tip is approved by our Editors and created by expert writers so great we call them Gurus. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Shopping Cart tips and hundreds of other topics.
An electronic coupon service can work hand-in-hand with your print coupon strategies. You might want to sign up with an electronic coupon service that distributes coupons over a variety of channels. Some people like to take surveys to earn ecoupons. You can also combine your strategies and offer printable coupons for your in-store customers. Send these out regularly in your newsletter and have customers click on a link that brings them to a printable electronic coupon. They can include the bar codes that make it easy for your clerks and can help you track which promotions have the most impact. Offer different sets of ecoupons with a higher dollar discount for a higher dollar purchase. People like to save money.
Currently ecoupons are generally good for a certain online store rather than a manufacturer's coupon good at any online store. As such, they are a bit easier to track. You can try to ensure that each customer only redeems one coupon if you match up shipping and billing addresses. Or you can set up a coupon which says it's only good for the first "x" customers. There are web sites set up to trade ecoupons. If you're trying to use coupons to track spending profiles, then trading ecoupons is going to ruin your data. If, however, you're using an ecoupon to bring new customers to your store then set the discount low enough that you won't lose money if the coupon is traded online.
Electronic coupon programs can help stimulate sales. You might send emails to your best customers with a special code they can enter at checkout for a discount. You might have coupons that allow special discounts when certain quantity thresholds are reached. Or you might have a special deal where you send out ecoupons that are good for free shipping. Another ecoupon might offer a discount if two particular items are purchased at the same time. Be aware that your customers may share these coupons with others. If that bothers you, you can create one-time use coupons but that is more complex. Instead, look at it as a special sale that brings new customers to your online store. Sure, you're giving away a small bit of profit--but you're gaining new customers who are likely to return and buy something else from you later.
Some may quibble about calling that an ecoupon since they are being redeemed in a brick and mortar store rather than through an electronic coupon service. But yes, you can offer printable coupons for your customers. Restaurants, bookstores, hardware stores, and many other small businesses frequently offer a simple coupon on their web sites, with no worry about complicated electronic coupon programs, tracking, fraud, and so forth.
One difference with ecoupons is that they are generally store-coupons rather than item-coupons. As long as you're not giving away the store with each coupon, you might not care if people to share. In fact, consider adding a "share this with a friend" link so your customers can more easily share coupons with their friends and you can track which customers are bringing in the most customers. Your customers recommendation to their friends is worth more than any discount you're giving away in an ecoupon and word-of-mouth referrals cost you nothing--other than the ecoupon discount.
Many customers will be thrilled to receive an electronic coupon that gives them a discount for a future purchase. Make your survey fairly short (unless you're offering a really good coupon!) and make it easy to fill out. If you want to only collect data from existing customers, you can send an email with a URL to your survey. You might also think about asking them at the end of the checkout process if they'd like to take a short survey in exchange for money off their next purchase. The information about your web store will be fresh in their minds that way. It's always a good idea to give people an indication of how long the survey will take so they don't fear getting stuck in an hour-long process.
Just because you're now doing business online, you don't have to ignore tried and true methods of obtaining and retaining customers. Take coupons, for example. Customers love coupons that offer discounts on specific purchases. Retailers love coupouns because they are effective ad tracking devices. Electronic coupons work just as well as their printed counterparts, but without the printing costs. If you want to use electronic coupons as part of your online sales solution, all you need to do is send coupon numbers via email to your customers and allow space in your shopping cart for the customer to add the number and get the promised discount. It's effective, quick and relatively easy. Electronic coupon software can be purchased as part of an integrated online sales solution or separately to build into a custom online sales solution.

I don't watch "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart often, but when I do I sometimes forget he is NOT doing a parody of a liberal "newsertainment" talk show host to complement Stephen Colbert's conservative parody. Unlike the Colbert caricature, Stewart actually believes what he is saying. Although he is not at Bill Maher's level — Maher being the pure type of a smug, smarter-than-thou liberal — Stewart's show is nonetheless a good vehicle for understanding the liberal perspective, especially on guns and gun owners.
I was alerted to an important recent episode of the Daily Show by a colleague. The first segment of the 29 April 2014 show was Stewart's take on the NRA meetings. Nothing particularly surprising there. What my colleague (who knows I am studying concealed carry) wanted me to see in particular was a segment in which fake reporter Jordan Klepper "investigates a low-cost legal defense program intended to make shooting people more affordable for Americans."
I don't want to spend too much time summarizing the piece, which is ostensibly about the growing number of organizations that seek to provide legal aid and/or insurance to armed citizens (e.g., Virginia Self-Defense Law Firm, the Law Office of Doug Friesen, Gunn Shield, Texas Law Shield, the US Concealed Carry Association, Second Call Defense, CCW Safe, and the Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network). I will just say watch it. It's funny and wrong(-headed) and instructive.
Klepper begins the story with a voice-over narrative: "As 'Stand Your Ground' laws proliferate across the country and controversial self-defense shootings make headlines, people are beginning to speak up about the heartbreaking damages these events cause. But who will speak for the true victims of shootings? The shooters."
As expected, the segment perfectly reflects the liberal sentiment — one which I used to share — that you would never need to shoot another person if you are a law-abiding citizen. The incredulity at having to shoot someone is overplayed by the fake reporter for humorous purposes, but it is real at root (the incredulity, that is).
Because they cannot imagine a situation in which an ordinary citizen would need to use lethal force in lawful self-defense, Daily Show liberals cannot see a self-defense shooter as having been victimized. And yet, anyone not charged or who is acquitted in such a situation is in fact a victim or else they would not be permitted under the law to use lethal force in self-defense.
Daily Show liberals also have no idea of the types of suffering that a shooter could face. Among these are psychological trauma that can resemble PTSD, with symptoms such as insomnia, appetite disturbance, substance abuse, guilt, flashbacks, and hormonal imbalance. There is also a social dimension to post-event trauma, what Massad Ayoob calls the "Mark of Cain" syndrome. This is a sort of stigma or badge of shame that one's community puts on a person who uses lethal force in self-defense.
And, more directly to the point of the Daily Show's wink-wink news story, there is a major financial cost to using lethal force in justifiable self-defense. As anyone who has ever needed the services of an attorney knows, billing takes place early and often. For example, attorneys for Gail Gerlach (acquitted in April 2014 in a Spokane self-defense shooting) provided to the court an itemized list of their expenses, totaling close to $330,000.
Spencer Newcomber, acquitted of first degree murder in the shooting death of his next door neighbor, talks about the psychological, social, and financial costs of lawfully defending himself with lethal force on the Pro Arms Podcast. This is a major reason all reputable gun trainers advocate not "shoot first" but avoid first and shoot only when all other options have been exhausted (something I am currently documenting).
This is not to deny that some people — including some concealed weapon permit holders — who claim self-defense are actually guilty of criminal homicide. I have written about a murder in the name of self-defense in Minnesota, and am currently watching the case of Florida theater shooter Curtis Reeves closely.
But at the end of the day, it is the idea that a law-abiding citizen would never be legally and ethically justified in shooting another person that is funny.

On October 2nd, MPL in association with the Concord Music Group will release the latest in the Paul McCartney Archive Collection, "Tug Of War" and "Pipes Of Peace." Both album have received platinum status in album sales, with "Tug Of War" topping the album charts in the U.S. and the U.K. As the dawn of music videos becoming another outlet to release music, not only did the songs have to be catchy, but if you created a memorable video then you were guaranteed to have a hit single. Paul McCartney was not new to music videos as he created them with The Beatles, but now they were going to be shown on music video network that ran 24-hours a day. So, each single, from the "Tug Of War" and Pipes Of Peace" albums were accompanied with a music video. These latest new releases gathers those videos as a bonus DVD with the deluxe editions, which also contains 3CDs for "Tug Of War" (the original album remastered, a newly remixed version of album and bonus disc of demos and outtakes) and 2CDs for "Pipes Of Peace."(the original album remastered and a disc of demos and outtakes).
The new remix of "Tug Of War" has a very refreshing feel to the music, which sounds so clear and spacious. Originally produced by George Martin, the new remix of the album was done by McCartney with Steve Orchard. While some of the songs still carry a dated, eighties feel ("What's That You're Doing?" and "Dress Me Up As A Robber") many of the tracks have that timeless "Beatles" feel, as with "Here Today," his dedication to John Lennon and "Ebony And Ivory," his duet with Stevie Wonder. Fans will definitely want to get their hands on the bonus disc which has the stripped down demos of six songs featured on the album, including "Wanderlust" and "Take It Away." Also on the bonus disc are the outtake songs "Rainclouds" and "I'll Give You A Ring" that were not included on the final album, but great songs and deserve to be heard. The DVD included with "Tug Of War" features the music videos for "Tug Of War," "Take It Away" and "Ebony And Ivory," along with a an 18-minute documentary on the "making of" the "Take It Away" music video.
George Martin would return to produce McCartney's follow-up album "Pipes Of Peace," which did not quite match the sales of "Tug Of War," but did produce the #1 single "Say, Say Say," a duet with Michael Jackson. The album showed McCartney's talent for writing pop gems, while experimenting less with his sound on this album and just using his strengths in songwriting. It's also nice to hear the sweet harmonizing of "The Man," co-written with Michael Jackson. The bonus disc brings in five demos for songs from the album as you get a glimpse into the song's stripped-down structure. The disc also features three outtakes from the album, "Ode To A Koala Bear" (B-side to "Say, Say, Say"), "Twice In A Lifetime" (title song from 1985 film) and the previously unreleased "Christian Bop." The DVD that accompanies the deluxe edition features the music videos for "Pipes Of Peace," "So Bad" and "Say, Say, Say," along with home video footage during the recording of the album. Both of these albums are a welcome upgrade to the Paul McCartney catalog and continues to prove that the "Paul McCartney Archive Collection" is still striving and creating great new, "must have" releases. To find out more about "Tug Of War" and "Pipes Of Peace," please visit paulmccartney.com and concordmusicgroup.com.


text: I've been reading with great interest Steve's posts about using a double y cord to get "true" mono on mono recordings through a stereo setup. Problem is, I'm a complete ninny when it comes to hooking stuff up, and I would greatly appreciate if Steve or somebody could dummy the connection instructions for me cause i'm just not getting it reading previous posts. I use a vinyl rig(VPI Scout/Dynavector P-75 phono pre/Bottlehead Foreplay Pre/Sim Audio I-5 integrated). Do I buy something that looks like this ? If so, do I only need 1, or 2? And then, do I plug the L+R channels from that normally to into the phono pre from the turntable into the 2 female plugs? If so, where does the male go(please, no crude jokes...)? Then, what, if anything, gets plugged into my Bottlehead pre(where I'm currently running my phono pre through...i like tubes somewhere in the chain)? I told you, you're dealing with a complete neophyte here so any help would really be appreciated cause I have a lot of mono recordings(pre 68) and would love to experiment with this. Thanks all!

Class up your CO2 1911!
The Colt 1911 has been one of the most readily customized guns in the firearm world since its invention in, well, 1911. The airsoft industry has followed suit and has produced a TON of aftermarket accessories to build your 1911 into anything you can imagine, from a super tactical shooter to a classy gentleman's pistol. Today, we're going to utilize some real gun parts as well as some airsoft products from Evike to build something that's a little bit of both; a classy tactical pistol ready to hit the field or be put on display in a glass case. Unfortunately, I don't have a leather shoulder holster handy to toss this thing in, because it'd really look proper in one. Without much ado, let's class this thing up a bit.
Cybergun Colt 1911 Rail Gun – $109
5KU Flat Trigger – $10
Madbull Punisher Compensator – $15
Triceratops Customs 1911 Wood Grips – $16
This is going to be a relatively simple conversion using just a few inexpensive parts. We ordered a Madbull compensator and 5KU trigger from Evike for a total of about $25. There aren't a lot of real wood airsoft-specific 1911 grips, certainly nothing for the CO2 models like this, so we ordered an inexpensive real-steel set from Triceratops Customs on Amazon for about $16. This is as cheap of a custom build as you can reasonably do.
The first thing to modify is the grips, and to start that process off, you'll want to remove the old grips. A flat head screwdriver makes quick work of the old plastic panels.
With the grip removed, you can see the thing that's going to give us problems with this install. To make the slimline 1911 frame work with a wide CO2 capsule, the bottom of the frame was flared out a bit.
Side by side with the airsoft grip, you can see that the general shape and size are the same. Holes line up, pin notches are in the right places, so the only thing we'll need to do is accommodate that frame hump.
You can see the dent that's molded into the plastic grip to accommodate the frame hump. You can also see the sweet triceratops burnt into the inner surface of the real-steel grip, and that's pretty rad.
With the grip screwed in place, you can see approximately how much material we'll have to remove from the wooden grip panel to make it fit properly. Mark the edges of the hump with a pencil so you know how wide that notch will need to be.
Doing one panel at a time, mark the top of the CO2 capsule window on the inner surface of the grip. This will mark the top height and width of the hump. Remove the grip panel, and connect the lines to give you a clear picture of what you need to remove.
I used a dremel tool with a large sanding drum and some 60 grit sandpaper to sand out the notch. Go at a medium speed to avoid overheating the wood, and take your time. It's easy to remove material, a hell of a lot harder to put it back on.
First panel done. Have the gun handy so that you can test fit it as you go along. You'll see a few spots where I let the bit wander, but luckily, it's not visible with the grips installed. Repeat the procedure on the other panel.

Whether a full OJEU process or a tendering exercise, successful procurement will result in a contract with a supplier. This is when the hard work really starts, so here are five tips to help with the process of contract management.
1. Monitor your own SLA
Service level agreements (SLAs) are in widespread use as part of public sector contracts. A good contract management system will enable you to incorporate the SLA standards as performance metrics so that you can monitor the supplier's performance against them.
This has several advantages. If there are problems, it gives you information early on so that you have the chance to ask the supplier to fix any issues before they escalate. It also provides you with the data you need to have an effective discussion with the supplier, providing a factual basis for any dissatisfaction. The fact that you can provide data to support your position is a key strength.
2. Build good relationships
Don't treat the supplier as your enemy. Big business makes a point of working with suppliers to enable them to deliver against their contract. An adversarial relationship will not result in a better service and may make the supplier defensive. It is possible to hold people to account in a calm, objective way; again, this is where a Contract Management System can do much of the work for you.
3. Resolve issues
Don't just have a lengthy discussion around the issues; in addition, make sure that both you and the supplier are clear about how they will be resolved.
4. Consider the market position
It may be that you have had trouble getting enough suppliers to bid for the work you have on offer. In this case, you don't have as strong a hand as if there was fierce competition for the contract. If the supplier was chosen from a framework, there may be no other suitable suppliers on the framework. Bear in mind your relative strengths when you are negotiating with a supplier.
5. Flag the endpoint
Use contract management software to flag the contract end three months in advance. This gives you enough time to think about whether you want to renew or whether you will retender when the contract ends without being rushed into a decision.

Instagram only lets you share one link in your bio. As a blogger however, you often have more things you would like to share with your audience. You might want to share your latest blog post, your Facebook page, your YouTube channel and who knows what else. Having only one clickable link associated to your account is a bit of a drawback if you have lots of things you want to share with your followers.
Which is where Linktree came in. Linktree is a website that allows you to create a landing page with all your chosen links that you want to share with your followers, customised with your colours and a pretty set up. This is great since with just that one link it allows you to share more than one site with your followers.
Linktree is super popular amongst Instagrammers, but I think it's time to take things a step further. Why should you give Linktree all those clicks and traffic after all? Why not send them to your own website?
In this step-by-step guide I've put together a free Linktree that will also dramatically increase your blog traffic.
How to set up your own Linktree – the easy version
There are two methods you can use to set up your own Linktree alternative. The first one is easier, but also more basic.
Create a new page (not a post) in WordPress and give it a title that makes sense for users arriving from Instagram (eg. hi Instagram!)
Make a list of the links you want, each on a separate line. I make them bold and centred for personal preference.
Wrap each of these links in a box with a different colour background. To do this, use the code below. You have to switch to the "Text" tab on WordPress and put the link where it says TEXT. Click here to see different colour variations, you can change the colour by removing the #ffdfce and substituting it with the new colour you want. You can also edit the max width to fit your blog theme.
Copy and paste this!

 TEXT 1 - Text 2

You might have to tweak it a bit when you go back to the "Visual" tab to make sure all the boxes and links look fine one next to the other.
There you go! You have a nice and simple Linktree alternative that instead of sending users away from your Instagram and to a third-party website sends them to your own blog, and from there they can decide where else to go next.
Make your own Linktree – the more time consuming version
There is another method you can use to set up your own Linktree, it's a little bit more time consuming but will look a bit more pro than by using callout boxes.
For this method you need to create a Canva account. On Canva you can decide the size of the "buttons" you want on your Linktree, and you can create photos to use as click more buttons. This is a bit of a fancier method as it allows you to create buttons in your brand font and colours, customising it a bit more than just a box with a different colour background.
Once you have your buttons upload them to your Linktree page on WordPress. When you upload a photo check the bottom right under "Attachment Display Settings", here you can add a link.
And you're done! You now have a beautiful looking page with buttons that send your Instagram followers to the most important parts of your business that you choose to highlight, all while sending that extra bit of traffic to your blog and not a third party site like Linktree.
It makes sense to want to add more than one link to your Instagram bio. After all, you spend so much time attracting followers and building one social media platform, that you want to direct them to other parts of your business. That's why platforms like Linktree were first created. However creating your own Linktree page shouldn't take more than one hour, and it will allow you to direct all that traffic to your own blog instead of a third party site. No point sending your followers to some other site!
