2. Rabbit hopping onto U.S. menus

   On menus across the country, rabbit dishes are multiplying like — do I have to say it?

   All manner of restaurants are embracing the bunny. Food & Wine restaurant editor Kate N. Krader heralded rabbit as "the great new sustainable meat" for 2013.

   There are several reasons for this growing popularity. Rabbit meat is mild in flavor and lower in fat and cholesterol than beef, lamb, pork or chicken. It's a versatile protein, chefs like to work with it, and customer squeamishness (that is, the oh-my-God-you-killed-Thumper factor) has steadily declined over the years.

   "There was a time when customers were afraid," says Matthew Accarrino, executive chef of SPQR restaurant in San Francisco, "but now it's become the other white meat. From a quality standpoint, everything I buy, I buy whole. A whole rabbit is just a few pounds; it's not like buying a 200-pound pig to get a whole animal. That makes it very manageable for a chef and a home cook."

   Accarrino's go-to rabbit dish is a prosciutto-wrapped rabbit roulade, served with braised rabbit shoulder and drumsticks; that dish, and three other rabbit recipes, are included in his "SPQR: Modern Italian Food and Wine" cookbook.

   The easy availability of rabbit meat is another plus for chefs. A lot of frozen rabbit meat comes from China, but whole rabbits, sourced from local farms, aren't difficult to find.

   "Rabbits are relatively easy to raise, especially in the city," says Kevin Sousa, chef and owner of Salt of the Earth in Pittsburgh. "They require a small footprint, eat hay and vegetable scraps, and they're quiet. And they're really sustainable."

   The "sustainable" aspect refers to rabbits' well-known reproductive prowess. A female rabbit has a nine-month breeding season, and gestation is only four weeks. Even at the low end of litter size (typically between four and 12 kits per litter), a doe can produce a lot of rabbits in a year — and before that year is out, some of those offspring will reach breeding age (6 months) themselves.

   So, rabbits are highly sustainable and nutritious. What are they like to work with? They're a little tricky, it turns out, thanks to a phalanx of tiny bones. You may have seen pictures of rack of rabbit, a dish popularized by Thomas Keller of French Laundry; it's beautiful to look at, but cleaning all those miniature rib bones takes a lot of work.

   "Deboning, or breaking down, a raw rabbit can be a bit difficult, as it has super-tiny bones," says Paula DaSilva, executive chef of 1500 Degrees in Miami Beach. "It also makes a great terrine or spread, but those techniques have a higher degree of difficulty."

   "In terms of prep, there is some skill involved; you kind of have to know what you're doing," says Sarah Stegner, chef and partner of Prairie Grass Cafe in Northbrook. "But that's what makes it fun." Stegner will feature rabbit saddle with mustard sauce and braised leg with sauteed spinach as part of a game dinner Feb. 21 but says rabbit also shows up other times of the year.

3. Phil Nicholson, Psoriatic Arthritis and Chinese Medicine

   Psoriatic arthritis, according to modern medicine is a disease of the immune system that causes raised, red patches, often with a silvery scale (psoriatic skin lesions), to appear on the skin, as well as pain, stiffness, or swelling in joints.

   In traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda , this disease is caused by poor circulation via poor diet (high protein, fat and starch) , and generally correctable via proper diet and herbs.

   Here's the pathology step by step for those who care to know not only the cause but also the cure.

   Stage 1. Too much protein and fat tends to thicken the blood, which in turn, thickens, clogs and weakens the liver. All blood passes in and out the liver. The liver stores, cleanses (filters, removes excess protein, fat, cholesterol, impurities, etc.) and releases the blood. High protein and high fat (especially animal, fried) diets in excess tend to thicken the blood, which in turn, thickens, clogs, swells and weakens the liver. Less cholesterol, fat, impurities, etc. are removed, cleansed, more stays in the blood (high cholesterol, clots, uric acid), thickening, clogging, narrowing and hardening the arteries (plaque, arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure), reducing overall circulation, supply of blood and energy especially to the extremities: head, arms, legs, hands, feet, joints, bones, muscles, etc. causing swelling, pain, inflammation, etc. Less blood builds, fuels, moves, cools and moistens less. Dry tissues inflame.

   Stage 2. Excess protein and fat in the bloodstream eventually overflows into the skin causing raised, red patches, often with a silvery scale (psoriatic skin lesions),

   Psoriatic arthritis is two diseases: psoriasis and arthritis. Here's one case history for psoriasis which will not only cure psoriasis but also arthritis, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, tumors, etc. depending on severity.

   Psoriasis case history I counseled a young man, age 38 with severe psoriasis: dry, scaly, flaky and inflamed skin on his head, face, back, etc. He was also overweight and constantly scratching. His original diet was high protein, high fat (red meat, pork, fried foods, etc.). I advised the colder middle diet, especially raw vegetables and fruits: carrots, celery, apples, etc. In seven months, his face, head and back completely cleared up. He also lost 60#.. He also cured his two daughters: one born with psoriasis and the other via acne.

4. Top 10 complaint management tips

   Customers are often delighted if a business simply delivers what has been promised. However, we all know that customers are also increasingly aware of their rights and ready to complain when they perceive that they have received a poor service or experienced a product fault. Customers are judging businesses based on their problem solving skills and more and more companies are finding out that their ability to put things right when they go wrong will impact on their reputation in the marketplace.

   The successful resolution of customer complaints is driven by the complaint handling skills and expertise within a company's customer service teams. Much has already been written about how to best handle complaints - such as highlighting the need to actively listen and make a empathetic connection with the customer story. But complaint handling is a tactical environment - what strategies can be deployed to achieve complaint management successes? This article would list my top ten 10 tips that will not only allow a business to maximize the potential of its complaint management strategy to deliver better services and products but also wow those customers that experience product and service failures and turn them into loyal brand advocates.

8. Healthcare Coverage- a Biiter Pill to Swallow.

   The cost of covering America's seniors and medically indigent is progressively sky rocketing from year to year but the quality of service and over all care keep on going done, because most of the healthcare dollars are being spent on the commodities side not on providing care. Cost of covering prescription drugs and providing diagnostics etc., have been consistantly going higher and higher, while the rate of reimbursements to providers, i.e; doctors, pharmacists and other care givers been going down. So the incentive is spend increasingly more money on the commodity items with rewards and kick backs built in, not in cutting these costs and rewarding the care givers to provide better care. It has been done at state level before in nineties when physicians were given incentive pay to be on call at night to curb emergency room visits and pharmacists were given capitation per patients to manage their drug therapies with cheaper and generic substitution with in the therapeutic classes of prescription drugs.

10. Industry Growing or Dying

    Hello,
    I wanted to reach out to you about an infographic I’m promoting that asks, Is Your Industry Growing or Dying? I thought that, given your content, it might appeal to your readers.

    The infographic is here: http://www.masters-in-human-resources.org/job/ and I would really appreciate it if you blogged about it. If you’d like, I can send visitors directly to the post once you reply with the URL. If you only have time to tweet or post on FB about it, that’s also appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Aldo Baker

11. Global Clinical Diagnostics Market to Reach $69 Billion by Ken_Powell

    According to a new report from Research and Markets, the global In Vitro diagnostics (IVD) market is forecasted to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CARG) of 7% to $69 billion by 2017. The report states that the value of the IVD market was $49.2 billion in 2012, although other reports often refer to figures of $52 to $55 billion. The interesting takeaway from this new estimate is that the 7% CAGR is higher than the decades old 5-6%. Several factors are driving this increase such as new technologies such as point-of-care testing, self-testing, gene sequencing and greater access to healthcare in developing countries.

    The United States accounts for approximately 41% of the IVD market. Although clinical diagnostic results are responsible for over 70% of clinical decisions in the US, they account for less than 3% of annual healthcare spend. This illustrates the cost-efficient value of diagnostic tests and their essential position in the delivery of healthcare.

    For more information on the IVD industry, high growth segments and leading competitors, please contact me through Zintro and schedule an individual discussion.

12. Trends in Physician Office Practices by Ken_Powell

    Hospitals continue to increase their acquisition of physican practices. According to AHA statistics, hospitals empoy over 212,000 doctors and this number is expected to increase as both hospitals and doctors seek mutually benefical alignments. Currently, just over 55% of physicians remain independent. A recent survey revealed that 32% of first year residents prefer hospital employment and the HealthLeders Media report found that 70% of US hospitals intend to employ more physicians in the next three years.

    In office lab testing continues to be a bright spot for physicians coping with decling reimbursement rates. The numbers tell the story. a 3 physician oncology practice in North Carolina produced $400,000 in revenue and a 10 physician office can be expected to bring in something in the range of $700-800,000. Someone has to run and get paid for these tests and the physicians ordering them are saying 'Why not me?". New point-of-care (POC) technologies focused on infectious disease and personalized medicine tests from several companies will continue to drive growth in this segment. The POL segment accounts for 8-9% of diagnostic total diagnostic tests.

    Another physician hotspot is mobile connectivity. Those who remember doctors being paged during college football games in the 70s know that doctors were among the first to embrace mobile technology. Over 10% of hospitals and group practices provide physicians with mobile devices and tablets are growing in physician preference.

    For more information on this topic, the physician office lab market and companies staged to benefit from this segment please contact me through Zintro and schedule a personalized discussion today.

14. Well applied laziness.....

    I'm lazy. Freely admit it. So I use tools like Zintro to do quick hit answers for people's questions, rather than trying to build this into a revenue stream. Being a Safety Guy of many years experience, I have a wealth of resources at my fingertips, that makes it easy for me to give people the resources to begin to get a handle on their safety & risk management issues-- all without leaving my desk, slogging through mud, muck & mire to do an investigation. Applied laziness at its finest! Some people call it professional research, and applied knowledge.Nope, it's applied laziness for sure
