Riley is about a young hot shot stock car driver gets his chance to compete at the top level.

DIY Investor MistakesAre you a DIY Investor? Good for you! I'm a DIY kind of guy. I do my own pool maintenance, cut my own lawn, and change my own oil. Believe it or not, I cut my own hair. I became a DIY Investor just about the time Enron imploded. The first company stock I bought was TICO because I watched PBS interview Dennis Kozlowski and I thought, I like that guy. I trusted him and I bought his stock the next day. Big mistake.As a DIY Investor I've made every mistake imaginable. In 2007, December 14 (my 25th wedding anniversary) I hired my first Wall Street Financial Advisor at Merril Lynch. That was one of the biggest mistakes of my financial life.One of the things I really appreciated about my Financial Advisor (even thought he worked in a very broken system on Wall Street) was having someone on my team who had access to tons of tools and information that I just didn't have.DIY Investor InvitationIf you're a DIY Investor, I want to invite you to take advantage of BayRock Financial.

If you saw this out in the wild, you might be confusedabout what it is, it looks like a shell or a button, but it's just the bluebutton jellyfish.The blue button jellyfish can be found inPacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans, as well as the Mediterranean Sea andeastern Arabian Sea. They are found in warmer, subtropical areas. Like mostother jellyfish, they eat phytoplankton and dead organisms . Somethinginteresting about the way they eat is that their “mouth” is also the way theydiscard food waste.These blue buttons have a sting, it's not lethalto humans but it can be painful and cause a rash. The jellyfish don't have manypredators except some larger fish and turtles. There are many of them so theyaren't endangered. But a lesser known thing about them is that the blue buttonjellyfish is made up of a colony of smaller organisms called hydroids.Different parts of the colony do different things.Blue buttons are generally small animals, Whenthey are fully grown they are about one inch in diameter plus tentacles. Butsome of them are small enough to fit in your fingertip. They have bright bluetentacles, and a hard, golden brown gas filled center.For Wild suhzou im palm tree and thank you forlistening.

Welcome back for part 2! This episode further explores Klasko's vision of health assurance, an industry that focuses on consumer's health, and that is enabled through innovative partnerships between health care and technology organizations. Patient's expectations are shifting toward a system of care that is empathetic, communicative, creative, and responsive – those providers, policy-makers, payers, and other partners who align with these principles will be the winners in the race to value! Dr. Stephen Klasko is the President and CEO of Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health. His newest book, co-authored with venture-capitalist Hemant Teneja, is a manifesto that advocates for bringing consumerism, affordability, and rational economic behavior to the healthcare sector. UnHealthcare: A Manifesto for Health Assurance is a declaration to usher in a new age of digital and mobile consumerism in the healthcare industry, and introduces the concept of “health assurance” – a gamechanger that would force a redesign of the system. His vision is for a consumer-centric, data-driven, cloud-based healthcare system designed to help us stay well: we would need as little “sick care” as possible. Episode bookmarks: 03:18 The FHIR Interoperability Standard and Blue Button are “necessary but not sufficient” to bring about widespread consumerism and democratization of health data 03:30 Consumers will eventually wake up when they “no longer feel like patients” 04:00 Consumers have way too much respect for the healthcare system because they are too forgiving when it fails 04:40 Patients always assume their doctor is the best, and doctors can take advantage of this by not being patient-centered 04:54 Dr. Klasko shares a personal story of a friend who always chooses the best service option in every transaction, but then naively chooses to have his heart surgery wherever the PCP tells him 06:10 Dr. Klasko shares an anecdote on how patients will not often heed the advice of a second opinion because of fear that their primary physician will judge them 06:40 How the younger generation will be more demanding as a health care consumer and how the younger physicians are embracing thus 08:05 Data interoperability is an issue where health policymakers have been “asleep at the wheel” 08:15 The World Economic Forum tells Dr. Klasko, “There were two industries that escaped the consumer revolution – banking and healthcare.  Now you are alone." 09:20 Dr. Klasko describes how nonsensical telehealth medical licensure restrictions are 09:45 Data and interoperability are unnecessarily limited by ridiculous and overly strict laws, including HIPAA. 09:59 “Data needs to be interoperable. It is just absolutely crazy that we have to get most of the data we need from insurance companies.” 10:21 “My view of the future is that the patient owns their own health data.” 10:30 Getting permission from doctors to share their own data is straight out of the 1970s 11:20 “Interoperability challenges between different EHR systems is another absurd reality.” 11:25 Commure is an example of an SSO, FHIR-layer, health assurance company which “overcomes the tyranny of the traditional EMR” 12:13 “Health assurance will require consumers demanding it, open interoperability standards, enlightened health policy, and entrepreneurs working with the healthcare system in a way they haven't before.” 13:20 Moral injury and suicide rates among doctors due to a monolithic, rigid and impersonal system of care 14:14 “Med schools choose doctors based on science GPA, MCATs, and organic chemistry grades…and then we wonder why doctors aren't more empathetic, communicative, and creative.” 14:45 Med Schools are based on an antiquated 1970's model that emphasizes memorization in an era before digital computing, iPhones, and AI 14:55 “When you select doctors on self-awareness, empathy, communication skills, and cultural competence,

Behind every role, there’s a story. We’re exploring the lives and careers of people across LGIM to understand more about what brought them to asset management, the changes they expect to see in the investment industry and – if they had to pick anything else – what their dream job would be. If you’ve listened to any of our Defined Contribution focused episodes, you will have heard Simon’s voice. Through his self-professed middle-man role, he always seems to know just the right question to ask to get to the middle of a particularly thorny DC topic, making him a perfect subject for this series. What I had no idea about was that outside of his role, Simon writes poetry and paints – although he sees his father as having been the proper ‘grown-up artist’! Despite having trained as a ballerina, his entrance to finance was via the stock exchange as a Blue Button. The real appeal, however, was the relationships and understanding the individual needs of clients. The future for the world of DC, in his view, is a partnership approach and the development of more intelligent communications. After all, there’s little point inundating members at the very beginning of their pension journey with retirement options!

For nearly a decade, the federal government has been trying to find ways to make medical records more accessible for Medicare and Medicaid clients. The initiative is known as Blue Button. Earlier this year, that initiative introduced a new version of Blue Button—Blue Button 2.0. It's now easier for Medicare patients to access their health care data and also to share it. To get a better idea of what this transparency could mean for health care consumers, we spoke with Allison Oelschlaeger, Chief Data Officer at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services with the federal government, and Meg Dryer, the Vice President of Consumer Experience at Cambia.

From BCB... http://bestofbcb.org/wu-202-holidays-at-wpcc/ In this podcast BCB host Joanna Pyle chats with State Health Benefit Advisor Genevieve Moyer and Waterfront Park Community Center Manager Sue Barrington. Genevieve summarizes a couple of Medicare changes coming in 2016: Medicare has become more proactive in their commitment to preventive health care -- (preventing illness or detecting illness at early stage, when treatment likely to work best.) Examples of this include pap tests, flu shots, prostate screenings, and more. ... and be sure to check out Medicare's Blue Button -- https://www.medicare.gov/manage-your-health/blue-button/medicare-blue-button.html The Blue Button offers access to your personal health information, helping you make more informed decisions about care while at the same time giving health care providers a more complete view of your health history. Sue wanted to remind us all about the Holiday meals provided annually by Sportsmen's Club, which has provided free holiday dinners for 35 years, every Thanksgiving & Christmas. Even leftovers are provided -- and transportation if needed. For a fresh-cooked, pull-out-all-the-stops dinner with friends and neighbors, sign up at front desk of the Waterfront Park Community Center or give them a call at 842-1616.  Credits: BCB host and audio editor: Joanna Pyle; BCB social media publishers: Chris and Diane Walker.

The man charged to lead OnStar into its 19th year and beyond is Terry Inch, the company’s Chief Operating Officer. This week he joins John McElroy, CBS Detroit Radio’s Matt Roush along with Mike Wayland from the website MLive.com to talk about the next steps for this unique telecommunications network.

In 2013 Pfizer launched the Pfizer Blue Button Project, a first-of-it’s-kind initiative enabling patients who have participated in clinical trials the opportunity to download their individual clinical data.  Using the Blue Button standard launched by the White House, patients will be empowered to use the data to improve their overall health and wellness, from sharing with healthcare providers to powering clinical risk assessments.  In this show, our host Craig Lipset, Head of Clinical Innovation, R&D, Pfizer speaks to the leaders behind these initiatives to find out why they launched, initial learnings, and where the projects may go if successful. Also joining Craig is Thomas Krohn, Business Lead for the Lilly Clinical Open Innovation Team.  Host:   Craig Lipset, Head of Clinical Innovation, R&D, Pfizer  Guests: Adam Dole, Presidential Innovation Fellow, The White House Thomas Krohn, Business Lead for the Lilly Clinical Open Innovation Team Jennifer Wulff, Director, Clinical Innovation, Pfizer

Now for something a little different. Meet Adam Dole- a White House Presidential Innovation Fellow currently studying the various ways technology can improve our healthcare system.Adam leverages an expertise in human behavior and sociology to help technology improve lives. A rare and specific skill set that landed him a coveted gig at NASA problem solving Mars mission human transport issues and subsequently led to various entrepreneurial stints at Silicon Valley start ups. A developing interest in health and wellness then found Adam spearheading technology innovation for the Mayo Clinic, more specifically a project he conceptualized called Blue Button — a healthcare software application empowering consumer access to healthcare and medical record information.The White House took notice. And before he knew it, Adam found himself in Washington as part of the prestigious Presidential Innovation Fellow program. Under the direction of White House CTO Todd Park, Adam spends his days (at least before the government shutdown!) studying the intersection of technology and our health care system with the purpose of identifying opportunities for cooperative collaboration between healthcare executives, government bureaucrats and technology entrepreneurs to identify and execute systemic, functional healthcare improvements for the benefit of the consumer.Adam is an energetic and fun guy. His enthusiasm and passion for his work is infectious. Work that is and will improve lives – no question. Adam gives me hope and optimism that we can conquer the challenges faced by healthcare. I truly enjoyed our conversation and think you will too.For a really nice feel for where Adam is coming from, check out this piece he co-authored for Fast Company Magazine: “Empathize Like A Doctor, Design Like An Entrepreneur”Now, put your earbuds in and enjoy the episode!SHOW NOTES* Millions of Americans can get easy, secure online access to their health records at “ Blue Button ”: http://www.healthit.gov/bluebutton* The Presidential Innovation Fellows – White House: http://www.whitehouse.gov/innovationfellows* Mayo Clinic: http://www.mayoclinic.com/* Better: http://getbetter.com/* Method: http://www.method.com* Jump: http://jumpassociates.com* “Empathize Like A Doctor, Design Like An Entrepreneur” by James Olver Sr. & Adam Dole for Fast Company Magazine* http://www.fastcoexist.com/1679576/empathize-like-a-doctor-design-like-an-entreprene...
