Blue Zone Why We Do Not Live In A Blue Zone
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 23:00:00 01/11/12
TEDxManhattanBeach - Lisa Santora - Finding Out Why We Do Not Live In A Blue Zone Dr Lisa Santora talks about her career as a Primary Care Physician and her growing realization that despite he passion for her vocation she needed to change the environment that her patients lived. Despite her hard work she was not able to improve the well being of the majority of patients without the changing the world that live in. This began her search to understand what she needed to do to change her community into a Blue Zone. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.

When we think of the need for an improved healthcare system, often the focus is on the patients’ experience. But there can be no strength of care if the caregivers themselves are discouraged to the point of exhaustion. Bonnie Wesorick , founder of the Clinical Practice Model Resource Center in Grand Rapids, MI, describes how a healthy work culture should feel. Shirley Hoogstra hosts.

A Dangerous Precedent for Disaster Relief
The Senate planned a Monday evening vote on legislation that includes desperately-needed funds to help Vermont recover from the devastation caused in the wake of Hurricane Irene. Sens. Bernie Sanders and Patrick Leahy told a press conference before boarding a flight to Washington that they would continue to oppose a misguided House Republican plan that demands unprecedented spending cuts to offset disaster relief. "What is happening now is wrong. It's unprecedented and I speak for the whole delegation. We're in agreement that we're going to do everything we can to get the necessary funds to rebuild our communities and do it in a way that makes America proud," Sanders said. "What these people are proposing is a precedent which says God forbid there is an earthquake in California next month and it requires billions of dollars of reconstruction aid, we're going to have then - under their mentality - a debate over whether we cut education or health care or the environment in order to fund disaster relief for California. Can you imagine that as a precedent?" From: SenatorSanders Views: 1167 52 ratings Time: 01:10 More in News & Politics

Ron Paul's Texas Straight Talk 9/19/11: Government as a Venture Capitalist
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 01:51:38 09/19/11
http://RonPaul2012.com http://paul.house.gov http://CampaignForLiberty.com http://DailyPaul.com http://RevolutionPAC.com In January 2009, the administration claimed that if Congress passed a rush stimulus bill, the United States would be saved from economic catastrophe that was threatening to send unemployment figures above 8 percent. Government stimulus was the answer and if we cared about our country, we would set aside our reservations and do what needed to be done to pass the bill. Congress passed the bill. Unemployment continued to go up and has been well over 8 percent ever since. (In fact, economist John Williams of ShadowStats finds unemployment to be closer to 23 percent using traditional methodology.) Yet some are claiming the first stimulus worked and all we need to bring back prosperity is more government stimulus. Stimulus might appear to work for some people for a short time. It worked for a short time for Solyndra. For a time, they could pretend to be engaging in productive activities that would help the economy. For a time, unemployment was 1,100 people less. But the recent bankruptcy of Solyndra shows that the government is a terrible venture capitalist. This charade cost the American people over half a billion dollars they could not afford, yet there is no mea culpa. The administration is not questioning its calculations, or how they could have been so wrong on their unemployment predictions in the wake of the last stimulus. Instead, they want more money. Once again we are hearing the cry that if we care about our country, we will approve more spending and more taxes and that will create more jobs. They promise. Yes, you could have gone to the Solyndra factory and you would have seen jobs. What you could not have seen were the productive jobs that were never created. Real venture capitalists make decisions based not on politics and photo opportunities, but on complex economic estimations of risk and reward. They don't simply throw piles of other people's money at a factory and expect magic to happen. The uncreated jobs you can't see might still be around. Instead, we have more government debt which will lead to more inflation and more taxes. These, in addition to an already hostile regulatory environment, only add to the burden and risk of job creation in the private economy. It has been said that when all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail. Our government is full of people who sincerely believe big government and more spending is the answer to every problem. They automatically look to government for every solution. Government is their hammer, and all they know to do is to keep hammering. When government "solutions" still don't solve the problems, they are unfazed. They keep calling for more government, more laws, and more programs. Americans are tired of being treated like nails. This government-centric mindset is the root of the problem. People who think this way are naturally drawn to politics and government. To them, the Constitution is an annoying road block, something to get around, or ignore. We must become interested in real, lasting, productive jobs - careers that allow families to build up a solid foundation of prosperity and economic security - not pretend make-work government jobs that waste resources and vanish overnight. We have to choose one or the other.

Design Strategies For Integrating Refrigerators Into Kitchen Cabinetry
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 04:25:06 09/07/11
It wasn’t that long ago that your appliances travelled with you. Buying a new house meant packing up your old refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher and installing them into your next kitchen. This wasn’t too critical for stoves and dishwashers because they usually come in standard dimensions. But refrigerators vary in both width and height and most kitchens had to be designed to accommodate just about any possible size. The result is the typical bad kitchen design detail of a refrigerator sitting in an oversized gap in the cabinetry. The good news is that those days are largely behind us, and most appliances stay with a house when it is sold. However, there is still a legacy of badly designed cabinetry detailing around the refrigerator. Fortunately, a little care and attention paid to this small aspect of kitchen design can make a huge difference in the quality of the overall outcome. To learn more, watch John and Matthew discuss some of the key design considerations for integrating both traditional 30” deep refrigerators as well as the new counter depth-variety into kitchen cabinetry.

Most cabinet secretaries arrive at official functions in massive black SUVs. US Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, however, picked out a Chevy Equinox – and discussed American automobile manufacturing this morning at a Monitor breakfast.
Complete video at: http://fora.tv/series/monitor_breakfast
On Tuesday, August 31, 2011, U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis joined the Monitor Breakfast for a conversation with reporters.
Secretary Hilda L. Solis was confirmed as Secretary of Labor on February 24, 2009. Prior to confirmation as Secretary of Labor, Secretary Solis represented the 32nd Congressional District in California, a position she held from 2001 – 2009. In the Congress, Solis’ priorities included expanding access to affordable health care, protecting the environment, and improving the lives of working families. A recognized leader on clean energy jobs, she authored the Green Jobs Act which provided funding for “green” collar job training for veterans, displaced workers, at risk youth, and individuals in families under 200 percent of the federal poverty line.

Do You Know What’s Wrong With This 3 Bedroom House?
[LESS INFO] 18 VIEWS | ADDED 15:25:36 08/29/11
This 3 bedroom 3 bathroom bungalow is currently being advertised for sale by a small homebuilding company in Florida. On first glance the house design may look pretty good. Dig a little bit deeper, however, and several big problems emerge. First the good parts: 1. The house is well proportioned with almost all of the principal spaces facing out to either the back or the front yards. The one exception is the third bedroom, which is located behind the garage and, unfortunately, only looks into a side yard. 2. The two car attached garage does not dominate the front of the house. The dining room and den also face the front street. 3. All of the principal spaces are well proportioned to fit furniture and have good windows for daylight and natural ventilation. 4. The back terrace is covered. This reduces heat gain both on the terrace and inside the house, which is important in a hot climate like Florida. 5. The guest bathroom is located in a private but accessible location. It also doubles as a change room for a potential backyard swimming pool. Despite these good things, however, we think that there are 5 major design flaws in this house that seriously affects how well it will work on a daily basis. Can you identify them? Watch the video to see our description of what’s wrong with this house. These kinds of design problems are really annoying and they are difficult, and expensive, to fix after the house is built. Fortunately, modifying the design before construction would be relatively easy and result in no increased cost. All that is really required is a little more care and attention being paid to the quality of the design underlying the house.

Many people have been skeptical about the move to cloud computing, especially in the database groups. There are valid reasons to worry about security, legal issues, and more. I certainly think that using cloud services requires some planning and careful examination of the impact to your environment, but I also think that many companies will want to make the move, so it pays to learn more about cloud computing and be prepared with realistic, rational concerns from the database perspective.
Anthony Skipper of ServiceMesh gave a presentation on some of the problems and lessons learned from moving to cloud computing . It was picked up in an Information Week piece that summaries some of the areas that can cause problems for your company. The list of issues is a good one, and worth reading through.
