Jessica had 8.0 quarters in her bank. Her sister gave her 3.0 quarters. How many quarters does Jessica have now? Answer:

In this case, p = 1.75 and q = -2.5.
Since q is negative, 1.75 + (-2.5) is 2.5 units from 1.75 in the negative direction.
The second arrow ends at -0.75. So, 1.75 + (-2.5) = -0.75.
First, draw an arrow to represent 1 1 2 .
Start at 0 and extend the arrow 1 1 2 units in the positive direction, which is to the right.
Next, draw an arrow to represent subtracting 3 1 4 from 1 1 2 .
Start at 1 1 2 and extend the arrow 3 1 4 units in the negative direction, which is to the left.
The second line ends at -1 3 4 . So, 1 1 2 - 3 1 4 = -1 3 4 .

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder underdiagnosed in adults. To date, no consistent evidence of alterations in brain structure has been reported in adults with ASD and few studies were conducted at that age. We analyzed structural magnetic resonance imaging data from 167 high functioning adults with ASD and 195 controls. We ran our analyses on a discovery (n = 301) and a replication sample (n = 61). The right caudal anterior cingulate cortical thickness was significantly thinner in adults with ASD compared to controls in both the discovery and the replication sample. Our work underlines the relevance of studying the brain anatomy of an adult ASD population.

Thanks to the release of their long-awaited Heart Break album and their busy You Look Good World Tour, Lady Antebellum find time at home to be a luxury these days. But fortuitously, the trio -- Charles Kelley, Dave Haywood and Hillary Scott, all of whom are proud parents of one child each -- will be home on Sunday (June 18) in time to celebrate Father's Day.
"We have a crazy week of non-stop schedule right up until the Saturday before, and Sunday, we get the whole day together with our family," Haywood told The Boot and other reporters at a recent media event. "So being able to carve those moments out will always be a priority."
For Haywood the great example that his father set inspires him as he raises his son Cash.
"For me personally, [my dad] is such a great role model -- always there for all of the important events for me growing up," Haywood shares. "And for us, as a band that travels, a lot of that’s always on the forefront of my mind, is how to make that a priority, the moments that are important to be there for, and bringing our kids as much as we can to be there for those moments as well."
Each of the Lady A members' children -- Cash, Kelley's son Ward and Scott's daughter Eisele -- travel with their parents. Having the kids on the road presents a unique set of challenges, though.
"It’s funny to say that I’m a father; it makes me feel so grown up. I guess, as cliche as it sounds, it does move really fast," Kelley reflects. "And now that [Ward is] 16 months old, he’s out there on this Lady Antebellum tour, waking up in the middle of the night going, ‘Where the hell am I?’ and crying. It’s like, oh my gosh, we’ve got this whole new cycle of this kid being very aware of where he is."
Even though he's young, Ward has opinions on which of his dad's songs is his favorite.
"Kids love beat -- anything that has a groove -- and "You Look Good" is Ward’s favorite song, it really is. Between "Hey Bartender," "Downtown" and "You Look Good," those are the songs that Ward loves," Kelley shares. "He does dance to "Heart Break" ... Ward loves "Heart Break.""
Heart Break is available for purchase on Amazon and iTunes.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has spoken about the fitness of injured duo Victor Moses and N’Golo Kante, the Metro reports.
The pair have both been out with hamstring injuries for over a fortnight and have been sorely missed. However, Danny Drinkwater is ready for tomorrow’s game after featuring against Everton and Bournemouth last week.
When speaking in a pre-match press conference, Conte insists that Kante and Drinkwater is available for tomorrow’s match against Roma but Victor Moses is still out of action.
This comes as much-needed good news, especially with Kante being back who is a crucial player for us. As per the Metro, Conte didn’t confirm whether or not Kante would start as he will talk to the player tomorrow.
The Italian has a dilemma ahead of him as to who will start in midfield for the Champions League match at the Stadio Olimpico. However, it’s great that we now have some options in the middle of the park.

Have you noticed, I’m not blogging as much as I used to blog?
That means that from 5:15 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. I am fully, 100% on Little A duty. The child cannot be denied. If I am eating, she sits with me. Or, she sits on the table so I am sure to see her. If, in the mornings, she climbs into bed with me, she won’t let me turn away from her. “I need to see you, Mommy,” she says, tugging my hair until I turn my face to her.
My beautiful, sweet, strong, lovely girl demands a lot from me.
Today’s a better day already, and that’s usually how it goes. But I’m not blogging much. Nor am I developing many recipes. She always wants to “help,” so I have to stick with no-brainer type meals. I have committed the few free hours that I have a week when she is in her preschool program to working on my next novel because if I don’t it will never happen.
So, I’m not blogging as much as I used to blog. I’ve got this demanding little creature who “needs to see me.” And, I have another book to write.
You might not be too surprised to learn the main character is an extremely complex, bold woman. Strong, complicated women are kind of my muses.
Just don’t expect the book to come out any time soon. Turns out, the process of raising a strong, bold woman is way more exhausting than writing about one.

Three years have passed since SFGN published Gay Truckers: The Men, The Myth, The Medical Reality from March of 2012, about the life and work of Timothy Anderson, a gay trucker with a degree in creative writing and a desire to improve the health and healthcare of his fellow truckers.
The story has become one of the most popular features on SFGN’s website so I decided to give small update on the story.
I recently caught up with Anderson in Boca Raton and asked him if any of the grim health statistics about truckers have changed since then.
While continuing his advocacy for trucker health, Anderson has continued to write. He is featured in a recent collection of stories titled “Blue, Too: More Writing by (for or about) Working-Class Queers.” The book contains work by twenty writers who speak about the gay working-class experience.
Anderson is currently recuperating from serious spinal neck surgery but he will be back on his feet very soon. You can’t keep a tough gay trucker down for long.

hat can one expect to find in the Madhouse? Well, madness, of course. Various views of what constitutes sanity and insanity, the experiences of both, and strategies for coping. Of particular interest here are ecopsychology  the theory that our personal and cultural madness may be rooted in alienation from nature; mood disorders such as depression and anxiety; activist burnout and how to deal with it; and the culturally relative nature of many of our definitions of mental illness.
Too many web sites that address the topic of madness fall into one of two polarized categories: self-help or family support sites, which are generally completely uncritical of mainstream psychiatry and unquestioning of the medical model of mental illness; and radically anti-psychiatry sites which, while often insightful in their critiques of the mental health system, are notably short on viable alternatives for people struggling with very real problems.
The Madhouse will be neither of these. I want this to be a place where people can find both challenging ideas and practical coping strategies. Nothing is off-limits  neither mainstream resources nor radical critique. The only absolute criterion is that everything remain rooted in, and truthful to, personal experience.
The Madhouse can be viewed as a stand-alone site, but it is also part of a larger entity called Wild Ideas, an online celebration of the Wild in all its forms, from the familiar sense of wilderness and wild nature, to looser interpretations in the contexts of spirituality, sexuality, politics and consciousness. It's the newest area of Wild Ideas, and is still quite underdeveloped at the moment, but will be expanding as time goes on.
Be a part of Wild Ideas!
Regarding navigation, the menu at the top, just below the title graphic, shows the other areas of Wild Ideas. The menu at left shows the different sections of the Madhouse (note: right now, there isn't much more to the Madhouse than this page and the Web Reviews).

Recognition that integrated services can lead to more efficient and effective care has made the principle of integration a priority for health systems worldwide for the last decade. However, actually bringing fully integrated services to life has eluded most health care organizations. Mental health has followed the rule, rather than the exception, when it comes integrating services. The lack of effective mechanisms to evaluate the needs of persons across mental health care services has been an important barrier to communication between professionals involved in care. This study sought to understand communication among inpatient and community-based mental health staff during transfers of care, before and after implementation of compatible assessment instrumentation.
Two focus groups were held with staff from inpatient (n = 10) and community (n = 10) settings in an urban, specialized psychiatric hospital in Ontario (Canada) – prior to and one year after implementation of compatible instrumentation in the community program. Transcripts were coded and aggregated into themes.
Very different views of current communication patterns during transfers of care emerged. Inpatient mental health staff described a predictable, well-known process, whereas community-based staff emphasized unpredictability. Staff also discussed issues related to trust and the circle of care. All agreed that compatible assessments in inpatient and community mental health settings would facilitate communication through use of a common assessment language. However, no change in communication patterns was reported one year post implementation of compatible instrumentation.
Though all participants agreed on the potential for compatible instrumentation to improve communication during transfers of care, this cannot happen overnight. A number of issues related to trust, evidence-based practice, and organizational factors act as barriers to communication. In particular, staff noted the need for the results of comprehensive mental health assessments to be transformed into meaningful, user-friendly clinical summaries to facilitate uptake of assessment information, and consequently use of a common assessment language across mental health settings.
Recognition that integrated services can lead to more efficient and effective care has made the principle of integration a priority for health systems for the last decade. However, actually bringing fully integrated or coordinated services life has eluded most health care organizations. Differentiation, or specialization, which characterizes the health care system (and is considered among its strengths), also acts as a powerful barrier to integration . As a subset of the larger health care system, mental health services have followed the rule, rather than the exception, when it comes to integration across the care continuum.
Key to successful service integration are collaboration and communication among those providing care. In their review, Craven and Bland  found that several factors are key to successful collaboration in mental health care, including supportive structures, organization re-organization, and buy-in from staff. These authors reported that shared assessment, decision-making, and treatment planning also contribute to high levels of collaboration among staff. These findings were reinforced in a review by Lee, Crowther, Keating, and Kulkarni  - they reported that communication between staff was enhanced through use of shared assessments and care plans.
In 2005, the Ontario (Canada) Ministry of Health and Long-term Care (MOHLTC) mandated the use of the Resident Assessment Instrument – Mental Health (RAI-MH) in all adult inpatient psychiatric beds/facilities . This represented an important first step toward a better understanding of needs, service use, quality, and outcomes of care in inpatient mental health settings. The RAI-MH is part of a larger suite of instruments developed by interRAI [5–7]; this organization released a ‘sister’ instrument to the RAI-MH designed for community mental health settings (interRAI Community Mental Health or interRAI CMH) [8–10] in 2007, but is not yet widely used in the province (though it has recently been mandated in Newfoundland and Labrador). Therefore, Ontario has no mechanism in place to consistently evaluate and track the strengths, preferences and needs of persons across the continuum of mental health services. Given that the public, private (e.g., drug costs, disability and WSIB claims) and economic (e.g., loss of productivity, involvement with the criminal justice system, accidents/damages) costs of mental health and addictions are estimated at approximately $39 billion a year in Ontario , there is considerable urgency for this situation to change.
The goal of this study was to understand how clinical staff in inpatient and community-based mental health settings collaborated and communicated with one another over the course of transfers of care, and to examine whether use of compatible assessment instrumentation - specifically the RAI-MH and interRAI CMH, positively affected collaboration and communication.
A qualitative methodology was utilized. Specifically, focus groups were selected as the method of data collection as they are effective in exploring perspectives and views of persons with similar experiences . The study received ethics approval from the Research Ethics Board at Lakehead University, as well as by the Research Ethics Board in the participating organization. The study methodology adheres to the RATS guidelines for qualitative research.
Participants included 20 staff from inpatient (n = 10) and community (n = 10) settings in an urban, specialized psychiatric hospital in Ontario. Staff from these two specific settings were recruited for the study given that they had frequent interactions with one another - i.e., clients in the community-based programed were referred from the inpatient setting, and most clients had multiple inpatient admissions. With the exception of one male in the community setting, all participants were women. In the inpatient setting, all participants were nurses, whereas there was more diversity in the professions of community-based staff (i.e., nurses, occupational therapists, and social workers). While the disciplines represented in the sample represent a subset of those involved in care (e.g., does not include physicians, psychiatrists, pharmacists), the sample is reflective of personnel in both the inpatient and community-based samples most often responsible for initial assessment and arranging/participating in transfers of care.
Staff in both settings were recruited by the RAI-Mental Health Coordinator for the organization. This person attended a staff meeting on the inpatient unit and at the community-based program to inform them about the study and invite them to participate. Interested staff were provided with the date and time of the focus group; focus groups were held in a room on the unit for inpatient staff and in a meeting room in the community program. Prior to beginning the focus group, the study’s Information Letter was reviewed by the lead author. Once all questions about the study had been answered, staff provided written consent to participate.
Two focus groups were held with staff in each setting – one prior to the implementation of the interRAI CMH assessment system in the community-based program, and the other one year after its implementation. A pre-post design was used to understand the current status of communication during transfers and then to assess whether these had changed after implementation of the interRAI CMH assessment instrument. Note that the study’s Information Letter was again reviewed and consent sought at the post-implementation focus group. All discussions were audio taped and later transcribed for analysis.
Post-implementation, the focus was on the actual impact of compatible assessment instrumentation on communication and collaboration between settings. Ways in which communication and collaboration could further be enhanced were also discussed.
The focus groups were led by the first author (Martin), who had previously participated in the development of the interRAI CMH, as well in projects related to the RAI-MH. In this role, the author had developed a relationship with the RAI-MH Coordinator at the participating organization, who aided in recruitment of staff. The author did not have a relationship with the participants. In the community-based setting, a couple of the participants were aware of the author’s involvement in the development and pilot testing of the interRAI CMH several years earlier, and one had been involved in that pilot study.
Discussions were audio taped and later transcribed for analysis. The transcripts were independently coded by two researchers. Individual codes were assigned to give meaning to text, and these were agreed upon by the coders. The individual codes were aggregated into larger clusters of ideas, and supporting quotes were identified to illustrate the themes .
Very different themes emerged related to current communication patterns during transfers of care. Inpatient staff described a predictable, well-known process for communicating with staff in community settings: “We call them right away…there is that immediate notification.” In particular, inpatient staff discussed a protocol for notifying community-based staff prior to discharge: “Well, we always have the outpatient follow-up set up before we discharge patients. So we work directly with them before we discharge.” The inpatient staff also alluded to the fact that the community-based program had its own way of assessing individuals: “..so they usually come and meet with us before so that they know who they’ll be seeing and they can start their own forms”. One participant also alluded to the isolated nature of planning by community staff: “…they start working up what the treatment is going to be and how it’s going to be followed.” When asked about the transfer of information about the person, inpatient staff commented that the inpatient assessments are available to the community staff upon the person’s discharge. Staff also noted that they: “call for all of their old information and we would get that over as quickly as possible so that we know as much as possible about the person as we can.” Therefore, inpatient staff believe that a standardized protocol was in place to notify community-based staff of new clients or if their existing clients had been hospitalized; that inpatient documentation was made available to community-staff; and that they requested and reviewed records from the community program immediately upon admission, when such information existed.
However, community staff emphasized the unpredictability of communication during transfers: “sometimes it’s by accident that you find out that someone has been admitted”, and “I think it depends on the day and who you’re interacting with at the other end.” They also noted that there was also often a delay between admission of a client and notification of the community-based program staff: “…sometimes we don’t find out until weeks down the road”. Sometimes that communication didn’t happen at all: “I think there’s an expectation of communication that should happen…but unfortunately…I mean, that’s always a quality improvement that we need to look at” and “So no matter what protocols you have in place…you may not have time to observe all the protocols. That’s just the way it goes”. In terms of information sharing, community staff also had a different perspective on what was available to them, if anything: “Hopefully, you get the discharge summary and hopefully you get the list of their current meds that they were discharged on. But again, that doesn’t always happen and you have to make a special effort to obtain that”.
Staff in both settings commented on the many issues that affected communication patterns, including a lack of understanding of the roles of professionals in the other setting (e.g., functions, expectations); difficulties surrounding the transfer of care (e.g., when does ‘our’ patient become ‘their’ patient?); system pressures (e.g., need to free up beds); and lack of resources (e.g., limited staff, high workload).
Both the inpatient and community staff discussed the impact of compatible assessment instrumentation on collaboration and communication patterns in terms of challenges and potential solutions.
Community staff noted some of the challenges associated with implementation of a new assessment form or procedure (e.g., time to complete assessments and to get used to new software). Because the interRAI CMH encourages the use of a ‘lead’ assessor who takes responsibility for completing the assessment (with the help of other staff, the person, available documentation, etc.), community staff talked about the challenges associated with assessment of issues outside of their discipline. They also echoed some of the sentiments of inpatient staff by expressing that most of the previous year had been spent getting used to completing the assessment, and less on how to use the information it generated.
The goal of this study was to understand how clinical staff in inpatient and community-based mental health settings currently communicated and collaborated with one another during transfers of care, and whether use of compatible assessment instrumentation affected these. In this study, the compatible instruments were the RAI-MH and interRAI CMH, from the interRAI suite (see http://www.interrai.org).
Overall, very different views of current communication patterns emerged, though there was substantial agreement among staff in both settings that compatible assessments would facilitate communication through use of a common language. For inpatient staff, it also meant the potential for increased trust in the information received and less of a desire to re-collect the same information for themselves. For staff in the community, it meant the possibility of being acknowledged as part of the care team by professionals in the organization and getting the information they need when they need it.
One-year post implementation of the interRAI CMH, neither group reported a change in their communication patterns. That there was not an immediate impact is neither surprising nor unexpected. It is well-known, for example, that the impact of new funds into the mental health system may not be evident until several years later . Therefore, it may be some time before the impact of an integrated mental health information system on communication is realized. As this study focused on two specific instruments (i.e., RAI-MH and interRAI CMH), future work should seek opportunities to explore the extent to which other jurisdictions use alternative compatible instrumentation technologies and their impact on staff communication. Further, work that examines the impact of the RAI-MH and interRAI CMH on staff communication in other jurisdictions using both instruments should also be undertaken.
In spite of the absence of impact in using compatible instrumentation, participants did not attribute the absence of change in communication patterns to the instrumentation, but rather to their own uptake of the information it generated. Therefore, the difficulty integrating the clinical information available in the RAI MH and interRAI CMH into decision-making and practice in both settings contributed to the assessment information not being part of the communication between professionals.
In spite of this, both groups were adamant in their belief that an integrated assessment information system would improve communication and collaboration between inpatient and community staff. Both groups also expressed a strong desire for continued use of the interRAI CMH within the organization. Administration also expressed willingness to continue to support this initiative, and to expand it as well.
While the RAI-MH is completed by staff in all inpatient psychiatric facilities and units in the province, the information that it generates may not yet be used to its full capacity to support clinical decision-making. For example, the instruments both include several embedded scales (e.g., Depression Rating Scale, Cognitive Performance Scale), but these were not necessarily available to staff upon completion of the instrument. In spite of being comprised of 300+ items that inform clinical decision-making (e.g., presence of specific symptoms, cognitive functioning, etc.), the inability to quickly summarize the relevant information in the RAI-MH led some to perceive it as an administrative tool, rather than a clinical assessment. Study participants noted that if the information they needed from the RAI-MH and interRAI CMH was available in a way that was easier for them to use, it would figure more prominently in daily communication between staff as well as with professionals in other settings in instances of shared care or transfer of care. The full potential of use of a common language between all mental health professionals to promote seamless, integrated care could then be realized. Future work should be conducted to develop a summary (or other form of assessment output) and then to test its usability and ability to improve uptake of assessment information within settings, as well as the sharing of assessment information across settings.
The importance of good communication and collaboration among inpatient and community-based mental health staff to providing integrated care and services is known. The introduction of compatible assessment instrumentation has been identified in the literature as a means of improving communication and collaboration, and is perceived by staff as being helpful. However, the impact of implementing compatible instruments is not immediate, and likely cannot alone improve communication and collaboration.
Both the RAI MH and the interRAI CMH include several hundred items on key life areas (e.g., psychiatric symptoms, social support, relationships, physical health, life events, employment, activities) that are relevant to the various disciplines involved in care (e.g., psychology, psychiatry, nursing, medicine, social work, vocational rehabilitation, recreation therapy). There is indeed great potential for these instruments to promote interdisciplinary mental health care. However, work is needed to organize the assessment information in a way that is useful and meaningful to the clinician who is using it. This is certainly worth doing given the recognized need for an integrated information system based on individual-level data that would permit tracking of individuals across the mental health care continuum , like the RAI-MH and interRAI CMH. Future work, therefore, should focus on ways to facilitate uptake of assessment information - for example, on development of evidence-based, meaningful clinical summaries for the various professionals involved in mental health care. In turn, this would promote use of a common language among mental health professionals, thus improving communication and collaboration in inpatient and community-based mental health settings.

Research shows that today’s parents spend more time with their children, are more emotionally engaged and are committed to the success of their offspring. There is only one problem: there are actually many times when parental absence is the magic ingredient for a child’s development. In this talk, Dr. Thompson discusses the eight things you cannot do for your children and why they need experiences that can nurture their curiosity and creative powers, where they can make great friends, and where they see the path to adulthood and leadership more clearly than they can with mom and dad looking over their shoulders.
The PA is presenting Screenagers to parents on September 27th. The evening begins at 5:30 with some light refreshments, the documentary begins at 6:00, and Erin Walsh, of Mind Positive Parenting, will moderate a discussion afterward.

Children don't want adults to be involved in their social lives. They hate it when teachers "interfere." Yet teachers are witnesses to the exclusion of low-status children in elementary schools and the popularity wars of middle school and they must act to protect the weak. Parents also see the friendship difficulties of their own children. Some take their children's social ambitions to heart and worry that their children are not popular. Other parents hope the school can protect their children from all social pain. Social cruelty among kids is one of the most difficult things that adults have to confront in raising or educating children. Experienced teachers can be confused about how to protect a child in class, for fear of putting a rejected or controversial child in "the limelight." They can also feel defensive when parents of neglected or victimized children come to the school for help. This presentation walks teachers and parents through the complex social world of childhood and addresses a number of questions: What do social relationships in school predict about happiness in adult life? What is the normal sequence of child friendships, from the parallel play of the twoyear-old to the intimate self-disclosure of the adolescent? Why do cliques form and what are the differences between boy and girl groups? Why are children scapegoated and how can their parents and school protect them? Dr. Thompson will draw on research to highlight the differences between friendship and popularity. He makes suggestions about the management of social problems in schools and makes the case that while all children yearn for popularity, it is friendship that helps children survive and thrive.
Box Lunch with Michael Thompson co-sponsored by the PCCTL Speaker Series in honor of the class of 2016 and Parents' Association Education Committee.
What's the matter with my son?" Why is he an underachiever in school?" Why are boys so violent?" "Why won't boys talk to adults?" Educators and parents in the United States are engaged in an important debate about the way we raise and educate boys. After twenty years of illuminating research on girls and debate about gender equity in schools, it is time to consider some of the risk factors that afflict the lives of boys. They are four times more likely than girls to be sent to a school psychologist; they are diagnosed with 60-80% of learning disorders. Their areas of strength, physical activity and visual-spatial perception, are not as important as verbal skills in the feminine, quiet, word-dominated environment of schools. Boys do not do as well in school as girls, from elementary school through college and they are at risk for concluding that schools don't work for them and becoming withdrawn and bitter. In early adolescence most boys begin to attach their sense of status to mastery and achievement. They are subjected to a powerful "culture of cruelty" which may require boys to adhere to a narrow ideology of masculinity: avoidance of feeling, avoidance of anything feminine, fear of personal weakness. The result may be a boy who is or appears closed and often angry. In this talk, Dr. Thompson gives suggestions to teachers and parents about how to support a boy in the early years of school and how to help a boy remain emotionally open in adolescence.
Space is limited and RSVP is REQUIRED by January 20,2017 for planning the catering of box lunches. Thank you!
Parent Coffee with Dr. Michael Thompson, co-sponsored by the PCCTL Speaker Series in honor of the class of 2016 and Parents' Association Education Committee.
This talk is an emotional survival guide to the college admissions process. The end of high school and the transition to college confront both child and parents with numerous developmental challenges. To the extent that people think the process is just about the RIGHT college, or worse yet the ONE AND ONLY GREAT college, both parents and child are at risk for alienation from one another and disappointment in themselves. Everyone survives the college application process, more or less gracefully. Dr. Thompson gives a number of suggestions regarding how families can develop a philosophy about the process and enjoy it more.
Space is limited and RSVP to attend this event is kindly requested by January 20, 2017 to provide for seating & coffee!
Dr. Michael Thompson Returns to Breck!
"The Pressured Child" is, in fact, a presentation for "pressured parents" who have forgotten what school is actually like. It is a talk for parents who are gripped by worries and misapprehensions about their children's life in school. In the presentation, Dr. Thompson describes the psychological journey that children experience during their thirteen years in school. He reminds parents that children are almost never judging themselves by grades: they are always monitoring their own development and constantly searching for three things: connection, recognition and a sense of power. He illustrates how children find those in many different arenas of school life. There are three kinds of children in school: 1) those whose journeys are characterized mostly by success, 2) those whose journeys are characterized by a chronic but manageable struggle, and 3) those whose journeys are characterized by fury and despair. Each journey has its own different pressures. Every child is constantly developing strategies for coping with the pressures that he or she feels. In order to write the book, Dr. Thompson went back to school, following students, seventh graders through seniors, in independent, Catholic, and public schools. In the book and in this talk, he shares stories from the trenches, taking parents and teachers into the school day experience of children, illuminating how they manage their school careers and how the best educators and wisest parents can support them along the way.
We strongly encourage upper school students and mature middle school students to attend with their family.

That’s the best way to describe health insurance execs’ views on their business these days. The massively-screwed-up-but-steadily-improving rollout of the federal exchange is the biggest reason for that uncertainty, but there’d be huge uncertainty even if things had gone flawlessly.
Health care providers are consolidating rapidly, increasing their negotiating leverage. More and more physicians are working for health systems. Some employers are dropping coverage, while others are moving to narrow-network based plans. All this against a backdrop of an aging population, increasing income inequality, major growth in Medicaid enrollment, reduced Medicare reimbursement for facilities and a possible “fix” to the fatally-flawed physician reimbursement system/mechanism.
And, the metrics they use to measure performance are in flux as well; the old measurements were fine when insurers could underwrite, adjust benefit designs, change deductibles and copays, and negotiate with providers from a position of strength.
Add to that the uncertainty over who is going to enroll via the exchanges – will there be enough “young immortals” to balance the older, sicker folks who sign up? More importantly, how will that play out for individual health plans; Plan A isn’t concerned about the overall picture, but is very, very concerned about the demographics of their member group.
It’s no wonder senior management – and other stakeholders – are “uncertain” about the short-term, much less the longer-term.
Amongst all this confusion, there’s one thing that is clear – there isn’t going to be an “Obamacare death spiral”, at least not for three years. The scaremongering about death spirals and adverse selection that might result from too many old folks and not enough young folks signing up is mis-informed.
By then, things will have settled down, insurers will have figured out what works, what doesn’t, and what they need to do to operate profitably. Some will drop out of the exchange(s), while others will expand their service offerings and coverage areas.
Lots of uncertainty means lots of opportunity for those aware, nimble, and stalwart enough to take advantage. Not that there are many in this business that fit that description!

A restaurant made 9.0 hamburgers to serve during lunch. They quickly sold those and had to make 3.0 more. How many hamburgers did they make for lunch? Answer:

The Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI), country's apex trade body, on Monday welcomed the move to lower the lending rate to single digit by banks and called for strong monitoring to make it sustainable.
The FBCCI also termed the move timely.
The 9.0 per cent lending rate facility will encourage investors of an investment-hungry country, it said.
The FBCCI at press conference held at the Federation Bhaban demanded the formation of a high-powered task force to check further accumulation of NPLs (non-performing loans) that, it said, hinder growth of investment and economy as a whole.
It suggested formation of an independent banking commission immediately to ensure clarity and good governance in the banking system.
The premier umbrella organisation of tradespeople made the call and suggestions in its reaction to lending rate cut by banks.
FBCCI president Md Shafiul Islam Mohiuddin thanked the prime minister, finance ministry, central bank and other stakeholders for reducing the lending rate to single digit.
They had long been advocating for this, he said.
"But the BB and the finance ministry need to make sure the continuation or sustainability of the rate," he added.
Mr Mohiuddin gave examples of the lending rates in other competitive markets in the region.
In many markets, he said, industrial loans are available with rates from 4.3 per cent to 8.2 per cent.
The FBCCI chief expressed the hope the reduced rate would cut the cost of doing business here alongside improving the country's competiveness.
Bangladesh needs $66 billion investment to achieve SDGs (sustainable development goals) and major parts of the requirements will come from businesses, he said.
"So, they [business community] want a congenial investment climate. Land is dearer here. If capital too becomes costly, it'll be tough to reach the target," Mr Mohiuddin mentioned.
Terming the ever-increasing volume of NPLs a serious problem for the economy, he sought a holistic approach to beat the challenge by reinforcing the banks' credit risk management.
"The NPL volume stood at over Tk 880 billion as of March 2018. We propose a high-powered task force that will help identity the reasons for swelling of bad loans," he said.
Asked as to whether the taskforce will be for protecting the defaulters, Mr Mohiuddin said there are two types of loan defaulters -- wilful and unintentional. Some borrower become defaulters for multiple unfavourable business factors, he cited.
"The banks keep track records of all defaulters. The FBCCI wants punishment of the real criminals. We boycott the wilful defaulters for moral reasons," he said.
About ensuring good governance in the financial sector, the FBCCI chief said an independent baking commission can ensure transparency in the system.
Mr Mohiuddin expressed the hope that the finance minister would form such a commission as soon as he can.
Following business community's repeated calls for a single-digit lending rate, the government provided various fiscal and non-fiscal benefits to banks.
In its latest move, the government reduced corporate tax by 2.5 per cent on banks and other financial institutions in the just-started fiscal year 2018-19.
The banks were also offered some other benefits like cut in cash reserve requirement and the limit of advance deposit ratio (ADR).

Coal India (CIL) has adopted the strategy of having coal ready for mining on shelf following the setback the company faced with a 55 million tonne pithead stock at the end of FY16.
Coal India (CIL) has adopted the strategy of having coal ready for mining on shelf following the setback the company faced with a 55 million tonne pithead stock at the end of FY16. During the April-June quarter, the company restricted its production growth to 3.5%, although as a whole it produced 125.65 million tonne of coal during the quarter, compared to 121.35 MT in the corresponding period last year.
The 55-MT pithead stock had offset CIL’s margin, since the stock was a cost to the company and there was no price realisation from it in FY16.
“High coal stock inventory at coal fired power utilities as well as at pitheads of Coal India restrained the company to go for higher production during the months of April and May,” a company statement said.
In the approach of coal ready for mining on shelf, the coal seams have been exposed for future mining and CIL would be in a position to scale up production deploying additional machinery as and when the demand picks up.
A CIL official on the condition of anonymity said the coal ministry was only following a strategy of increasing production, without keeping the demand in consideration. Even when CIL officials pursued the ministry saying that after a 9.01% year-on-year production growth and 9.22% y-o-y off-take growth in FY16, the growth in profits would be tepid because of the 55 MT pit head stock that would have to be factored as a cost in the balance sheet, the ministry believed that there would be a sudden surge in the demand of coal and CIL at that time would not be ready to meet the demand if it had not increased production.
Coal secretary Anil Swarup earlier told FE that the low demand of domestic coal was due to the power plants running at low PLF and the situation would not continue for long. However, the situation of surplus coal still continues with thermal power plants holding 30.51 MT of coal stock ending June 2016. This is equivalent to 22 days of coal stock and no thermal power plant in the country has a critical stock condition, reported CIL adding that for such a situation coal off-take for the quarter grew only 2.9% y-o-y. Coal off-take for the quarter ending June 2016 has been 133.19 MT against 129.39 MT during the same period last fiscal.
FE earlier reported that with pit head stock lying open, the piled up coal gathered moisture, which actually effected in quality degradation. Besides some of the stock piles caught fire, which was an absolute loss for the CIL.
To prevent repetition of such a loss CIL has adopted the procedure of coal ready for mining on the shelf, for which over burden removal, an important performance criterion in exposing coal seam, registered a 13.3% growth.
Production for of June was 42.72 MT, registering a 10% growth compared to the same month last year, while the growth in coal off-take for the month was 6.9% at 44.96 MT.

The Winter Olympics' Opening Ceremony (8.6) nearly matched the huge 9.0 from Vancouver in 2010. The first night of competition on Saturday (6.3) was down a steep 17% from Vancouver's first night, but fortunately that's turned out to be a much bigger decline than the norm over the next couple nights.
The only original series hours over the weekend were 20/20 (much lower than its norm after original Shark Tank) and Fox's Friday comedy hour. For what little it's worth, Enlisted was down just a tick from last week after a Bones original, which is probably a tick or so better than would've been expected in that situation. For the trivia buffs, Saturday's repeat The Following joined the exclusive 0.2 club for big four programming.

The study, by Leeds Beckett and Loughborough Universities, is the first to show that CBT can change how high-level athletes respond to organizational stress within their sport, and that this can have significant benefits for their emotions and performance.
Sport psychology researcher, Dr Faye Didymus, worked with four high-level female hockey players over nine months, using a CBT technique called cognitive restructuring to help them identify what put them under pressure, understand how they responded emotionally, and then consider more helpful alternative responses. The results were immediate: things that they had viewed as threats, players began to see instead as challenges, resulting in more positive emotions and higher satisfaction with their performance.
The players were from the Investec Women’s Hockey League, which, although amateur, includes the top teams in England, with players selected from the League to compete at international level. Although most players are also working or studying full-time, teams can have up to five training sessions and two competitive matches each week.
Selection and deselection from their team and the presence of England selectors at a big game were some of the causes of stress – known as ‘stressors’ – identified by the players during the research. Others included lack of communication from the coach, issues with teammates or training, large crowds at matches and poor umpire decisions.
The players were assessed before the CBT began to identify those who would be most likely to benefit from the programme. Each player then took part in an in-depth personalised programme of CBT to help them understand their current thoughts about stress, associated emotions, and how these might be changed by CBT. For example, for a player who was thinking ‘I must play well or I will ruin my chance of selection,’ an alternative would be suggested, such as: ‘If I play well, I’ve a good chance of being selected,’ which views selection as a challenge rather than a threat. Players would then be asked to think about how this different thought might change their feelings or emotions.
Over the nine months, the players moved from considering these alternative responses theoretically and in discussion with Dr Didymus to coming up with their own ‘alternatives’ and integrating those into their thought processes whenever they trained or competed.
An immediate positive impact was seen on all of the stress-related variables that Dr Didymus targeted: the players started to view more stressors as challenges than threats, positive emotions predominated, and the players’ performance satisfaction began to increase. When the players were assessed three months after the programme, these benefits had been maintained.

Last year (2015), there was 9.0 mkm2 of ice at 31 October but much of the Chukchi Sea was essentially ice-free, as the chart below shows.
However, in 2012 (the lowest September minimum since 1979), there was little ice in the Beaufort Sea and none surrounding the islands of Franz Josef Land in the Barents Sea at 31 October.
In 2007 (which had a similar September minimum as 2016), it was the Chukchi Sea that was virtually ice-free – and Franz Josef Land was virtually surrounded by ice.
Since there is already more ice in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas (at 20 October) than there was at 31 October 2007 and 2012, it looks like 2016 may show a different pattern again.

I feel a LOT better. Wait. I don’t eat many sandwiches in Napa. But I knew there was a reason I liked wine from Sonoma and Russian River Valley a little better than a nice glass of too sweet, not very dry Napa Valley Queue de la Souris.
One mouse? I’d need at least 1/2 dozen for a meal.
One mouse sandwich, hold tails.
What kind of cheese goes best with a mouse sandwich?
One mouse and cheese hors d’oeuvre plate, hold the trap.
Can I get extra De-Con mustard on my mouse sandwich?
That’s Cali, so you’d best ask for organic sprouts and vegetable based mayo. I was wondering if when you had a Napa wine hangover if you needed some “hair of the mouse” to get over it.
I lived in Marin for 20 years… Glad I’m not there anymore. But the place we’re in now is not much better; surrounded by elites. I roll the dice daily hoping for snake-eyes and a 9.0 Cascadian Temblor.
Marin was the great getaway for day tripping wannabe hip stoners from all over the bay. Our daughter was born at Kaiser Santa Clara. They could grow some herb on the other side of the bridge, though.
I was part of a team of ganjanistas who grew on plots out near Point Reyes… Along Lagunitus creek. Picked my share of LBs clean, scraped the tar off my fingers and ate it. WhooWee!
Queue de la Souris – I have it from an unimpeachable source that it goes great with a wedge of Camembert. Probably be excellent with a mouse sandwich. I’m vegetarian myself, but for your readers, I need to ask: is mouse white meat or dark meat?
Is there a category for “gross meat”?
Mouse a little smaller, but def not better. Lol. They need a couple of felines.
Oh the relief—only a mouse!

2011 - The best year ever?

One week ago we ran our Prismata tourney hackathon, in which we attempted to develop a tournament feature for our online game Prismata in only 30 hours. Overall, it was an excellent experience for us in which we were highly productive. In this article, we’re going to describe how things went, what we accomplished, and what we learned.

Here is another of my what to do with all the junk makeovers.
Way back when Music Girl first started band she played the trumpet. We found a good sounding trumpet at a thrift store while traveling during summer vacation. What a deal we figured.
Then Music Girl went back to school and came home from the first day of band all excited about switching to the French Horn.
So the trumpet sat on top of a wardrobe in her room.
Until the 9.0 Great Tohoku Earthquake of March 2011.
It crashed to the floor and really hasn't been the same since.
But you don't just throw a musical instrument in the recycle bin do you?
One of the many challenges with our new house is lacking of lighting.
Only the kitchen and family room have overhead lighting. So we needed lamps.
I checked Pinterest and found lots of pictures but no actual plans. So that trumpet just sat around waiting.
Until I was sorting through boxes of junk that had been in storage and found a fully functional light socket on a brass pole that had apparently been part of a lamp at some point back in the midst of time. I don't know what happened to that lamp but the Professor saved this bit and occasionally used it as a trouble light.
I used highly technical and complicated skills to zip tie the light to the top of the trumpet and I tied the cord around the bottom. Then I stuck on a lamp shade I had been planning to toss.
The lamp shade was pretty hideous so I got out some of my scrapbooking paper, cut it to size, folded it in pleats and hot glued it on. Someday I might remove the paper and modge podge it with hymnal pages like I did for Music Girl's trash can, but for now I'm pretty happy with my lamp.
For now it is sitting on top of the piano. You know, the one no one ever plays. The one that was last played on this occasion.

The head of the African soccer confederation has expressed satisfaction with Cameroon’s preparations to host next year’s African Cup of Nations, a statement at odds with the body’s position last week when it declined to back the country.
Confederation of African Football president Ahmad said Tuesday on a visit to Cameroon that CAF had “never thought of” and “never considered” dropping Cameroon as host. “It is left to Cameroon to tell us,” said Ahmad, who is from Madagascar and goes by one name. “We are not the ones organizing (the competition). It is Cameroon that is hosting the competition.
Ahmad’s position that CAF had no problem with Cameroon’s preparations contradicted statements made by the confederation after a two-day executive committee meeting last week. Then, CAF declined to confirm Cameroon as host for the tournament next June and July and instead delayed a decision until the end of next month and after at least two more inspection visits.
Cameroon has been criticized for serious delays with stadiums and other infrastructure and is in the midst of a violent separatist rebellion in the west, where two tournament host cities are located. CAF would first send a joint CAF-FIFA team to assess the security situation this month, it said, and then inspect infrastructure before deciding if Cameroon can hold Africa’s top soccer tournament.
Ahmad’s visit to Cameroon this week was also contrary to what CAF said last week, when it decided to hold off any inspection visits until after the Cameroonian presidential elections, which take place on Sunday. President Paul Biya is seeking another term to extend his 36-year rule in Cameroon.
That election could be a catalyst for more violence in the southwestern and northwestern regions, where English-speaking separatists have been engaged in bloody fighting with government forces since late 2016. Cameroon is about 80 percent French-speaking.
Ahmad said he had decided to visit Cameroon on the invitation of former Cameroon striker Samuel Eto’o. “It is thanks to him that this visit has been organized in order to clear the air on every front,” Ahmad said.
CAF has no “Plan B” for the tournament, Ahmad said, a tournament which will be the first African Cup to be increased from 16 to 24 teams, placing additional pressure on Cameroon’s creaking infrastructure. Despite Ahmad dismissing the notion of a “Plan B,” Morocco has been mentioned as a possible replacement host.
If Morocco did stand in, it would be the fourth straight African Cup to be moved from its original host country. South Africa stepped in for Libya in 2013, the tournament was switched from Morocco to Equatorial Guinea in 2015, and Libya again backed out of its hosting last year, leaving Gabon to host at the last minute. Cameroon’s team is the African champion and was hoping to defend its title on home soil.
