When inspired by divine possibilities we move forward in positive ways. When we take the time each morning to connect with God we become a lightning rod for inspiring ideas, our minds and hearts become receptive to divine guidance and we feel compelled to take action. Belief in an idea, a divine possibility, to the point of enthusiasm gives birth to initiative. Initiative is the secret to experiencing incredible good fortune. Desired results really begin to come forth only after we start toward them. On this episode, Darrell and Ed warn listeners if you do start toward your good, don't be surprised if it rushes forth to meet you more than halfway! And, during the second segment, Actor Rod Sweitzer motivates listeners to trust in their great desires and start toward them with today's reading, “Trust Life.” Join the Prosperous Patreon Community: www.Patreon.com/FunniestThing

Friends for over 20 years. Business partners for almost as long. Using music, performance, and the expressive arts to heal not only themselves but over 450 families per week. Kim Tapper and Tom Sweitzer have created a non-profit https://aplacetobeva.org based in Northern, VA "where everyone is accepted for their humanity, not defined solely by their challenges. " My son and I attended their holiday show last month. Imagine seeing a young client, using her feet to strum a guitar to contribute to a song, while many of her other limbs wouldn't function as well. Imagine the pride of parents and locals, seeing a child "twirl" on stage to receive loads of applause. Not necessarily about the skill, but rather from the effort. This is what I learned from them, from their heartfelt efforts, and from their contributions to helping others FIND AWE: 1. Power of Empathy in Arts: Both Kim and Tom emphasized the transformative power of the arts, used empathetically. They highlighted how artistic expression can provide therapeutic benefits, not just entertainment, stressing the importance of humanity and compassion in creative fields. 2. Collaborative Impact: Their story of meeting and forming a powerful professional partnership due to shared life philosophies and empathetic approaches is a testament to the impact of collaboration. This underscores the value of finding like-minded individuals who share your vision and values to create meaningful projects. 3. Resilience and Personal Challenges: Both speakers shared deeply personal stories of overcoming adversity and using their experiences to fuel their work. This teaches the value of resilience and using one's personal journey as a catalyst for helping others, highlighting that personal struggles can lead to profound professional and philanthropic contributions. 4. Community and Inclusion: The work at A Place to Be is a strong example of building community and fostering inclusion through the arts. They create a space where everyone, regardless of ability, can contribute and feel valued. This can inspire listeners to seek or create similar inclusive environments in their own communities. 5. Therapeutic Power of Self-Expression: The episode illustrates the healing power of self-expression through music, dance, and performance, encouraging listeners to explore these avenues for personal growth and healing. Whether it's through professional therapy or personal exploration, engaging in expressive arts can be a powerful tool for emotional well-being.

Can you imagine a state of mind absolutely free of fear? It can seem hard for us who have had Fear, Worry and Uncertainty as constant companions most of our lives. The good news is that all it takes to break free from these negative influences is to see them for what they are: merely indicators that we've temporarily forgotten to join forces with God's Will. It's time to remind ourselves of the Truth. The Truth, that to think Harmony, Health, Prosperity, and Divine Order are at work in whatever situation we're facing is actually cooperating with the Will of God. On this episode, Darrell and Ed encourage listeners to “treat the treatment” not the condition. Keep affirming the fact that your prayer treatment is effective. Claim that God worked through you when you gave the treatment and that God's work must succeed. And, during the second segment, Roof-raising Rod Sweitzer restores our peace and increases our belief with today's reading, “Divine Order.” Help support the show! https://www.patreon.com/funniestthing Subscribe to receive an inspiring daily reading from Joyce Kramer: https://www.joycekramerministries.com Recorded @ CHOBO Studios in beautiful Van Nuys, California Book today at https://www.chobostudios.com Edited by PodShuttle https://www.podshuttle.io Darrell and Ed love you!

Researchers say a new method for heart transplants could increase the number of available organs and save more lives. Currently, most transplanted hearts come from donors who have been declared brain dead. This means the person no longer has signs of brain function after suffering a serious injury. In a brain death, machines can keep the body breathing and can provide oxygen to organs until they can be recovered and put on ice. But the new method would take hearts from medical cases known as circulatory deaths. These cases are also known as donation after circulatory death, or DCD. Circulatory deaths happen when a person has a nonsurvivable brain injury, but still has some brain function. In these cases, family members can decide to withdraw all life support measures. This means organs go without oxygen for a time before they can be recovered.研究人员表示，一种新的心脏移植方法可以增加可用器官的数量并挽救更多生命。目前，大多数移植心脏来自已被宣布脑死亡的捐赠者。 这意味着该人在遭受严重伤害后不再有大脑功能的迹象。 在脑死亡中，机器可以让身体保持呼吸，并可以为器官提供氧气，直到它们被回收并置于冰上。但新方法将从被称为循环死亡的医疗案例中提取心脏。 这些病例也称为循环死亡后捐献或 DCD。当一个人的脑损伤无法存活，但仍有一些脑功能时，就会发生循环性死亡。 在这些情况下，家庭成员可以决定撤回所有生命支持措施。 这意味着器官在恢复之前会缺氧一段时间。Currently, kidneys and some other organs are taken from people suffering circulatory deaths. But doctors have resisted using hearts because of possible organ damage from a lack of oxygen. A new study suggests that hearts might also be recoverable from cases of circulatory deaths. Researchers at North Carolina's Duke University School of Medicine led the study, which was recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The researchers said using hearts from circulatory deaths could possibly give thousands more patients a chance at a lifesaving transplant. And it could increase the number of donor hearts by 30 percent. “Honestly if we could snap our fingers and just get people to use this, I think it probably would go up even more than that,” transplant doctor Jacob Schroder told The Associated Press. “This really should be standard of care,” he said.目前，肾脏和其他一些器官是从患有循环死亡的人身上取出的。 但医生们拒绝使用心脏，因为缺氧可能会损害器官。一项新的研究表明，心脏也可能从循环死亡病例中恢复过来。 北卡罗来纳州杜克大学医学院的研究人员领导了这项研究，该研究最近发表在《新英格兰医学杂志》上。研究人员表示，使用循环系统死亡的心脏可能会让更多的患者有机会进行挽救生命的移植手术。 它可以使捐赠心脏的数量增加 30%。“老实说，如果我们能打响指让人们使用它，我认为它可能会涨得更多，”移植医生雅各布施罗德告诉美联社。 “这真的应该成为护理标准，”他说。With the new method, doctors can remove hearts in circulatory deaths and put them in a machine that “reanimates” them. This process pumps blood and nutrients through the heart as they are being transported. The organs can also be tested to make sure they are effectively functioning before they are transplanted. The study involved multiple hospitals around the country, as well as 180 transplant patients. Half the patients received DCD hearts and half were given hearts from brain-dead donors that were transported on ice. Survival rates six months later were about the same – 94 percent for recipients of cardiac-death donations and 90 percent for those who got the usual hearts, the researchers reported. The findings are exciting and show the possibility “to increase fairness and equity in heart transplantation…” said Dr. Nancy Sweitzer. She is a heart transplant specialist at Washington University in St. Louis. Sweitzer, who was not part of the study, said she thinks the new method will permit more people with heart failure to receive lifesaving treatment.使用这种新方法，医生可以在循环死亡中取出心脏，并将它们放入一台“复活”它们的机器中。 这个过程在输送血液和营养物质时将它们泵入心脏。 还可以对器官进行测试，以确保它们在移植前有效运作。该研究涉及全国多家医院，以及 180 名移植患者。 一半的患者接受了 DCD 心脏，另一半接受了冰上运输的脑死亡捐献者的心脏。研究人员报告说，六个月后的存活率大致相同——接受心脏死亡捐献的人为 94%，而接受普通心脏捐赠的人为 90%。Nancy Sweitzer 博士说，这些发现令人兴奋，并显示出“提高心脏移植的公平性和公平性……”的可能性。 她是圣路易斯华盛顿大学的心脏移植专家。 Sweitzer 没有参与这项研究，她说她认为这种新方法将使更多的心力衰竭患者接受挽救生命的治疗。In the U.S. last year, 4,111 heart transplants were performed. While this was a record number, it is not nearly enough to meet the need. Hundreds of thousands of people suffer from advanced heart failure but many are never offered a transplant. Still others die waiting for one.去年在美国，进行了 4,111 例心脏移植手术。 虽然这是一个创纪录的数字，但还远远不能满足需求。 数十万人患有晚期心力衰竭，但许多人从未接受过移植手术。 还有一些人死于等待。

The following question refers to Section 7.6 of the 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure.The question is asked by premedical student and CardioNerds Intern Pacey Wetstein, answered first by Mayo Clinic Cardiology Fellow and CardioNerds Academy Chief Dr. Teodora Donisan, and then by expert faculty Dr. Nancy Sweitzer.Dr. Sweitzer is Professor of Medicine, Vice Chair of Clinical Research for the Department of Medicine, and Director of Clinical Research for the Division of Cardiology at Washington University School of Medicine.

She has been working hard to improve her health and is glad to report that she has just reached her 5-year sobriety milestone. Her current medications include metoprolol succinate 100mg daily, sacubitril-valsartan 97-103mg BID, spironolactone 25mg daily, and empagliflozin 10mg daily. She is asymptomatic at rest and up to moderate exercise, including chasing her grandchildren around the yard. A recent transthoracic echocardiogram shows recovered LVEF from previously 35% now to 60%. Ms. Blocker does not love taking so many medications and asks about discontinuing her metoprolol. Which of the following is the most appropriate response to Ms. Blocker's request? A Since the patient is asymptomatic, metoprolol can be stopped without risk B Stopping metoprolol increases this patient's risk of worsening cardiomyopathy regardless of current LVEF or symptoms C Because the LVEF is now >50%, the patient is now classified as having HFpEF and beta-blockade is no longer indicated; metoprolol can be safely discontinued D Metoprolol should be continued, but it is safe to discontinue either ARNi or spironolactone Answer #21 Explanation The correct answer is D – continue current therapy. The patient described above was initially diagnosed with HFrEF and experienced significant symptomatic improvement with GDMT, so she now has heart failure with improved ejection fraction (HFimpEF). In patients with HFimpEF after treatment, GDMT should be continued to prevent relapse of HF and LV dysfunction, even in patients who may become asymptomatic (Class 1, LOE B-R). Although symptoms, functional capacity, LVEF and reverse remodeling can improve with GDMT,

Question #9 Mr. Flo Zin is a 64-year-old man who comes to discuss persistent lower extremity edema and dyspnea with mild exertion. He takes amlodipine for hypertension but has no other known comorbidities. In the clinic, his heart rate is 52 bpm and blood pressure is 120/70 mmHg. Physical exam reveals mildly elevated jugular venous pulsations and 1+ bilateral lower extremity edema. Labs show an unremarkable CBC, normal renal function and electrolytes, a Hb A1c of 6.1%, and an NT-proBNP of 750 (no prior baseline available). On echocardiogram, his LVEF is 44% and nuclear stress testing was negative for inducible ischemia. What is the best next step in management? A Add furosemide BID and daily metolazone B Start empagliflozin and furosemide as needed C Start metoprolol succinate D No change to medical therapy Answer #9 Explanation The correct answer is B – start empagliflozin and furosemide as needed. The patient described here has heart failure with mildly reduced EF (HFmrEF), given LVEF in the range of 41-49%. In patients with HF who have fluid retention, diuretics are recommended to relieve congestion, improve symptoms, and prevent worsening HF (Class 1, LOE B-NR). For patients with HF and congestive symptoms, addition of a thiazide (eg, metolazone) to treatment with a loop diuretic should be reserved for patients who do not respond to moderate or high-dose loop diuretics to minimize electrolyte abnormalities (Class 1, LOE B-NR). Therefore, option A is not correct as he is only mildly congested on examination, and likely would not require such aggressive decongestive therapy, particularly with normal renal function. Adding a thiazide diuretic without first optimizing loop diuretic dosing would be premature. The EMPEROR-Preserved trial showed a significant benefit of the SGLT2i, empagliflozin, in patients with symptomatic HF, with LVEF >40% and elevated natriuretic peptides. The 21% reduction in the primary composite endpoint of time to HF hospitalization or cardiovascular death was driven mostly by a significant 29% reduction in time to HF hospitalization, with no benefit on all-cause mortality. Empagliflozin also resulted in a significant reduction in total HF hospitalizations, decrease in the slope of the eGFR decline, and a modest improvement in QOL at 52 weeks. Of note, the benefit was similar irrespective of the presence or absence of diabetes at baseline. In a subgroup of 1983 patients with LVEF 41% to 49% in EMPEROR-Preserved, empagliflozin, an SGLT2i, reduced the risk of the primary composite endpoint of cardiovascular death or hospitalization f...

Successfully navigating through life can be summed up as the ability to trust our hunches and roll with the punches. Trusting our intuition is loving God. Our intuition is always trying to get our attention and guide us to our heart's desire. We often dismiss its nudges because we think they're unrealistic, unreasonable, too good to be true for us, or just silly. On this episode, Darrell and Ed encourage each other and listeners to follow God's lead. And realize if you're stuck in an unhealthy job or relationship, rather than fight it or adopt a victim position, see that it might just be the necessary nudge you need to change direction. ActorbRod Sweitzer inspires us all to take a gamble on God with today's reading, “Divine Direction”.

As we transition through life, careers, relationships, we can often be found chasing a feeling and looking for validation. How does this translate? A lack of confidence, unmet desires and expectations, a lack of purpose. And this shows up in how we present ourselves to the world, in our behaviors, through our image. In today's episode, I am joined by besties, expert image consultants, and owners of Shine Image Consulting, Jaclyn Arcuri and Laura Sweitzer who understand on a very personal level what this feels like. Sharing their own journey from a combined 35+ years in the corporate arena to where they are today, which serves as inspiration for anyone looking to jump on the entrepreneurial train. Jaclyn and Laura also share their mission to change how we perceive and obtain an elevation of image. Plus tangible take-a-ways to get you started on your own restyling journey. And most importantly they teach us that in fact, “leather is a strategy”. Be prepared to feel the genuine compassion of these two amazing women, to nod your head in unison as we share commonalities, and leave empowered to elevate an image (and confidence) that is truly authentic to you.

The greatest paradox in life is the fact that the more generously and open-heartedly we give, the more we have at our disposal to share. We always reap what we sow and in the spirit with which we sow. Give a little appreciation in the form of praise or money, here and there, and we'll receive a little here and there. Making it a daily intention to trust God as our source implicitly, through our generosity, opens the door for everyday miracles. On this episode, Darrell and Ed share how the most incredible miracles occur when we “sow big or go home!” Mr. Hollywood, Rod Sweitzer emphasizes “Tis the season to be jolly!” with today's Daily Word, “Give”.

Good morning and welcome to Montrose Fresh, from The Montrose Daily Press. It's Wednesday May 26th and we're here to bring you a closer look at our top stories, events and more that matter to us here in Western Colorado.    Today - After years of planning the dream of a new quality warm-water fishery on Colorado's western slope is starting to come to fruition.   Today's episode is brought to you by Elevate Internet. Whether it's for your home or your business they offer the best speeds at the best price. Right now, if you refer a friend you can get $25 off! Give them a call for more information at 844-386-8744 or visit them at elevateinternet.com.   -   Now, our feature story.   After years of planning the dream of a new quality warm-water fishery on Colorado's western slope is starting to come to fruition.   Colorado Parks and Wildlife Aquatic Biologists Eric Gardunio and Ben Felt have been busy over the past week. They've been transferring fish to Sweitzer Lake State Park from other bodies of water.    Some of the transfers included largemouth bass from Confluence Lake in Delta and James M. Robb Colorado River State Park in Grand Junction. They've also transferred bluegill from Hallenbeck Reservoir in Grand Junction.    So far, more than 330 largemouth bass between 6 and 18 inches long as well as 1,300 sunfish have been moved into Sweitzer Lake.    These fish will be supplemented later this summer by fish from CPW hatcheries.   Gardunio says that the goal in transferring the fish was to get fish in different size ranges. That way there will be multiple age classes building up the population. They also tried to focus on moving fish in situations where it would benefit the ecology of the waters.   The work took years of planning that included getting multiple organizations to sign off on a new lake management plan.    CPW, along with other state and federal agencies, belongs to the Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program. The program aims to recover endangered fish in the Colorado River basin.    Historically, Sweitzer Lake contained green sunfish, black bullhead and common carp. And adding largemouth bass and bluegill is a way to create a more desirable warm-water fishery.   Sweitzer Lake is a productive lake that has the potential to grow large fish. And to further enhance the fishery, CPW has placed dozens of artificial habitat structures to help give the new fish a place to shelter as well as for anglers to focus their efforts.   It's important to know that fishing at Sweitzer is catch-and-release only. These regulations should encourage the development of a quality sport fishery for healthy largemouth bass.   For more information about Sweitzer Lake State Park visit us at montrosepress.com.   -   And before we go we're excited to let you know that  it's once again time for coffee at the Warrior Resource Center.   Welcome Home Alliance for Veterans is resuming their popular veterans coffees. It'll start back up on June 3rd. The coffees were put on hold for more than a year because of COVID.   These coffees aim to give veterans a place where they can meet exclusively with each other and connect. They're in Montrose each Thursday and also monthly in Ridgway, Nucla and Cedaredge.   And Welcome Home Alliance for Veterans isn't just bringing back coffees. The advocacy group also has several upcoming events.   From 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 29th, is their Memorial Day fundraiser. There'll be a chili cook-off, classic cars, pin-up models, and other vendors and at the Looney Bean parking lot.   The event is presented by Darling Dames of Colorado and the Black Canyon Classics Car Club. Proceeds will benefit the alliance.   Upcoming events in June include the Freedom Festival on June 18th at The Bridges Golf and Country Club, as well as the seventh-annual golf tournament on June 19th.    And don't forget about Freedom Sings USA Colorado presenting their second-annual community concert at The Bridges. The free concert showcases the work of award-winning songwriters who are coming to Montrose as part of Welcome Home's veteran retreat. It's from June 28th through June 30th.    -   That's all for today, thank you for listening!

“Y'all know The Doctor? Doctor John? Mack Rebbinack?”   Like another Show Friend from Show Business, Thomas “Doc” Sweitzer has had a front row seat on the stage with “bigger” consultants while carving out a very successful niche for himself.   Go to any big to do in the world of political consultants, and you'll find Doc holding down his niche – doling out advice to them who need but may not want it, and them who want it but may not need it. As becomes obvious throughout the episode, he's a contradiction, but not a contrarian who “takes what he does, but not himself too seriously.”   He's a bridge to the talent of a previous generation, havig worked for such pols as Jake Pickle and Charlie Wilson, and Bob Casey – “The Three Time Loss from Holy Cross” as well as the current US Senator. Doc inducted Bob Shrum and James Carville into the American Association of Political Consultants (AAPC) Hall of Fame, where he sits on the board of directors. He also has a posse. Dave has the t shirt to prove it, somewhere.   Help us signal boost – Subscribe, Rate and Review on any and all podcast purveyance platforms!

About this episode: A few nights after September the 22nd, 1862, a band came to serenade the 16th president. Moved by the music and supportive crowd, Abraham Lincoln stepped onto the executive mansion’s balcony and, referring to his recent Emancipation Proclamation, remarked: “I can only trust in God I have made no mistake. It is now for the country and the world to pass judgment on it, and maybe, take action upon it.”But for the President, first things first: To put teeth into his executive proclamation, he would have to win the war - and that prompted him to leave Washington City and travel to the site of this country’s bloodiest single day. His ostensible purpose? To review the Army of the Potomac. His added incentive: to prod the army’s cautious commander, Major General George B. McClelland, into action. This is the story of the President’s visit to Sharpsburg, Maryland - his pilgrimage to the banks of Antietam Creek.----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: George B. McClellanJohn A.

In this episode of the Practice of Therapy Podcast, Gordon and Brent Sweitzer, LPC, RPT dive deep into the book, Getting Things Done by David Allen. Brent describes how the methods of GTD changed his life and some of his favorite tools from David Allen. Plus, Brent explains his recent jump into full-time private practice, despite not thinking he was 100% ready for the change. Brent Sweitzer Brent Sweitzer, LPC, RPT specializes in helping distant couples reconnect and in helping children play their way through difficult emotions through play therapy. He is a Registered Play Therapist, which means he has received special training and supervision in using the medium of play to work with children of all ages. He is also extensively trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, a well-researched approach that helps couples overcome long-standing conflicts in order to feel closer and communicate better. He runs his own private practice, Sweitzer Counseling, that serves the communities of Cumming, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, and the surrounding communities in Atlanta, GA. He is married and has two young children of his own. When he's not connecting with clients or his family, he's often exploring the great outdoors or strumming his guitar. Getting Things Done Brent found the book Getting Things Done, and it spoke to him so clearly. There are so many distractions and challenges with work now as therapists and entrepreneurs. As an entrepreneur, we have to define a lot of our work. Brent knew the book was the answer – he went all in and applied the methodology to his life since January. Gordon was also blown away by the book. David Allen breaks it down into manageable pieces. Getting Things Done for Teens Since Brent works with children, he is always looking for things that simplify the concepts from Getting Things Done.  That why he is a big fan of Getting Things Done for Teens. There are these things called transformer tools – decide if you care about something and then decide if you are committed to doing it. It's so simple but an unconscious choice. We can learn how to do it and respond to these challenges consciously. What Are Contexts? How much time do you have available? Imagine having a list of things you can do with a spare ten or fifteen minutes. Have a list of items already decided that would be possible to do in between clients or in line at the DMV. This method has been a real change for Brent. GTD is about efficiency – not in a cold kind of way. We only have 24 hours in a day, and we only have so much energy. GTD helps us to list the things that we can do that are mindless. Keep your life moving! Channel Your Inner CEO Brent loves being with people. He has a left side of his brain, but he wasn't able to pull it up when he needed it. GTD has helped Brent think that way. Being a private practice owner means you are an entrepreneur and a CEO. You need to be thinking like an executive at least some of the time. OmniFocus OmniFocus is designed to align with GTD – Brent tried to use it with Trello. So far, it's going well. For those people who are digitally oriented, Brent says it works well with Apple Reminders. It's a great way to capture all your ideas while you are out and about or even exercising. However, it is essential to remember to go back and look at the ideas you captured. Full-Time Private Practice Marketing your private practice is a part-time job in itself. Brent didn't know when he would be able to leap into full-time private practice. He wanted to start next year when his son joined Kindergarten. His leap into private practice happened a little sooner than he planned for. Brent needed time and focus on putting all of his knowledge into place. He put his foot on the accelerator to market his practice and himself to the community. He is actually going to be speaking at a mental health symposium at a high school about communication between parents and children. After Killin'It Camp, Brent was inspired to create the next step for people after his speeches. He is in the process of developing an email series – allowing himself to stay in contact with potential clients.

This is our Final Episode in the Personal Perspective series, one in which counselors from our practice Rodgers Christian Counseling have discussed how they teach and use various exercises from the Soul Healing Love Method. In this episode Erin Sweitzer, MA, LMFT, joins us to talk through the GIFT Exercise to help dig down into the primary emotion around your anger. Erin helps us understand that some things we get angry about just aren't worth our energy: if it's something small, like how to squeeze the toothpaste, follow her advice and just get 2 toothpastes. But, when it is something worth our energy, she helps us walk through the GIFT to understand what's under our anger. Erin has her her MA at Pfeiffer University in Marriage and Family Therapy and her BS in Child Development from Appalachian State University. She views therapy as a collaborative experience where she listens to your story and works with you to identify obtainable goals. The strategies and models practiced are evid ence-based and effective including Trauma-Based CBT, Problem-Solving Therapy and the Soul Healing Love model as she is passionate about helping people receive God’s unconditional love and healing . She enjoys working with individuals, young adults, teens, couples (both premarital and marital), families, and children of all ages.

Dr Amit Khera:                  Welcome to Circulation On The Run. Our weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the Journal. I'm Dr Amit Khera, associate editor and digital strategies editor from UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, and I had the distinct privilege of standing in for Dr Carolyn Lam and Greg Hundley this week. Twice a year, we are very fortunate to have some unique podcasts when we don't have circulation issues, and in the past we've met with many fellows in training and heard about some interesting studies that they're doing. Today we have a very special podcast we have not done before, and that is one where we had the opportunity to learn about our Circulation Family of Journals, and more importantly to hear from the dynamic editors in chief of these various journals. I think you're really going to enjoy it, we'll walk through and hear from each one of them, hear about some of the innovative things that are happening, some of the future that they see for their journal in their field, and I really enjoyed it, and I'm sure you will as well. So, without further ado, we'll start with our first editor. Dr Sunil Rao:                      I'm Sunil Rao. I'm an intervention cardiologist at Duke, and I'm the Editor-in-Chief for Circulation Cardiovascular Interventions, which is one of the daughter journals of the Circulation Family. We publish articles really related to the broad spectrum of interventional cardiology, from coronary interventions to peripheral arterial disease, and Endovascular interventions to structural heart disease interventions. We also published review articles in all of those areas, as well as any health policy or outcomes studies that are in that space. Dr Amit Khera:                  Tell us what are some of the innovative things that your journal is doing this year. Dr Sunil Rao:                      We're really excited about two things, one is our extremely successful Assistant Editor program that we launched last year at A.H.A. 2018. This is a program where we have five early career individuals that are within five years of completing their fellowship program who joined the editorial team at Circulation Cardiovascular interventions, and in that role they really learn a lot about the mechanics of how scientific publishing works, they commit to doing manuscript reviews, and receive feedback on improving their peer review process, and even independently handles some manuscripts as well, that are in their areas of interest. This is our way, I think, of encouraging the next generation to stay engaged with science, and with the scientific publishing process. It's been extremely successful. Assistant editors are part of our team for a two year term. So, in 2020, we will be selecting the next class of assistant editors, and after their term is ended, they join our editorial board as editorial board members. So, we're really excited about that, it's been an overall positive experience, for I think everybody involved. The second thing that we're really excited about is that we launched a social media presence for the journal, which it previously did not have. So, we have a very active Circulation Cardiovascular Interventions Twitter handle, I encourage all the listeners to join Twitter if you're not on Twitter, and if you are on Twitter please follow at Cirque intervened. It's " at C.I.R.C.I.N.T.V.". That is the official Twitter handle for our journal. Dave Fishman is our social media editor, and Chadi Alraies is our assistant social media editor, and we're not just tweeting out the articles, and providing summaries when the papers get published, we're holding Twitter journal clubs once a month ,and these have been extremely successful, it's an hour long Twitter journal club where the discussion gets very intense, and there's a lot of back and forth. We try to have the authors on as well, so that they can explain the rationale for their study, some of the challenges that they face when they are doing the study, and hopefully provide some implications for clinical practice, and what the next steps are. That's a way for us to engage our readership, it's almost a form of post publication peer review, which I think is becoming very popular. In addition, remember we don't have a print format of our journals, so this is a way to get the readership more engaged with the Web site, and to come to our website and learn what elsewhere publishing, and how they can get involve with the Journal as well, both as authors who submit their work, or if they want a peer review for us, please contact us and let us know. Dr Amit Khera:                  I really love hearing about the Twitter journal club, I know that they are well received, and certainly getting a lot of traction. Tell us about what initiatives or topics you're most excited about this year, and maybe some things that are coming later in the year. Dr Sunil Rao:                      We're really excited about the big areas in interventional cardiology, which are coronary physiology, we've published quite a few papers on looking at different physiological parameters, and how they can drive the appropriate use of PCI and how that affects outcomes. I think that's going to continue to be a huge topic over the next year, Certainly such a heart disease has exploded, and with the data on low risk patients undergoing TAVR, and having really good outcomes, we're seeing a lot more submissions in the low risk TAVR space, the other area that's really exploding right now is Mitral and Tricuspid Valve Interventions, one of the areas that I think has seen a tremendous amount of device innovation. So, we're seeing a lot of submissions from really high quality papers in that space, but I think it's also important to note, that unlike previous iterations of the Journal, we're actually having a review article, we're trying to have a review article every month on a major area that is burgeoning, so that the readership can understand the overall lay of the land, with respect to evidence, how that guy's clinical practice, and what's coming next. So, we've published quite a few review articles already, and there are more to come, and I think that's a really important way for the readership to keep current with what's going on in Interventional Cardiology. Dr Amit Khera:                  What about the advancing aspects of your subspecialty? There's so much going on in interventional cardiology, it's a bit dizzying, just tell us a little bit about some of the ways that your journal's helping advance that mission, not just now but perhaps in the future. Dr Sunil Rao:                      I think one of the challenges that we have at Interventional Cardiology, and maybe this is true across Cardiology, is that the evidence is developed very rapidly, and oftentimes it almost seems like the field is lurching back and forth in certain areas, a prime example of that is the drug coated balloon controversy for Peripheral Interventions. The Journal Of The American Heart Association published a meta-analysis, showing that there may be an association between the use of these devices and increased mortality, that has led to a lot of discussion in the interventional community, and quite frankly I think there's a fair amount of confusion out there about whether we should be using these devices, should we put a moratorium on these devices, is the signal real, if it is, what's the mechanism of death. So, a lot of conversation around that, in fact, it's led to what's going to be a focused FDA meeting in June, specifically on the drug coated balloon controversy. Where I see our journal playing a role is really in trying to, not only publish the latest science, which is rigorous in the field for controversial topics such as this, but also to help provide some context for that science, and I think our integrated strategy of original science review articles, and social media really helps us to communicate with the readership, and with the Interventional Cardiology community writ large, meaning not just physicians, but also Cath lab staff, nurses, noninvasive cardiologists who obviously have patients who are undergoing interventions, and even policymakers, to keep them abreast of what's going on, so that they can have the same level or base of knowledge, so that the conversation is on a level playing field. Dr Amit Khera:                  Okay, well you heard it from Dr Sunil Rao. Thank you for your time. Dr Kiran Musunuru:        I'm Kiran Musunuru, I'm the outgoing Editor-in-Chief of Circulation Genomic and Precision Medicine. Let me start by saying a little bit about the content of the journal, it considers all types of articles related to, as the name implies, Genomic and Precision Medicine, and more specifically, Clinical Genetics, the molecular basis of complex cardiovascular disorders, considered at a variety of levels, that can include a lot of different, what we would call Omics Techniques, from Genomics to Transcriptomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics, Metagenomics, and, so forth. It also deals with big data applications, that includes Electronic Health Record Data, Patient generated data combined with any of the things I've already mentioned, Genome Wide Association Studies, Pharmacogenomics, Gene Therapy, Therapeutic Gene Editing, Systems Biology. So, it's a pretty comprehensive look at all the various topics that would fall under the rubric of Genomic and Precision Medicine. Dr Amit Khera:                  Now, Dr Musunuru, you mentioned the outgoing Editor-in-Chief, let's introduce the incoming Editor-in-Chief, Thatcher Christopherson Semsarian. Dr Chris Semsarian:         I'm the incoming Editor-in-Chief. My name is Chris Semsarian, I'm a cardiologist at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney, Australia. Dr Amit Khera:                  What are some of the innovations you and the Journal are doing this year, or, what are some of the things you see coming in the future? Dr Kiran Musunuru:        Something I'm very excited about, is that we are just starting a pilot project with the American Heart Association's Institute for Precision Cardiovascular Medicine. The institute has a very nice platform called the Precision Medicine platform, and, in brainstorming last year, we realized there was a very nice opportunity to try to create a new type of journal article. There's also a big move in science nowadays to improve transparency, and rigor, and reproducibility, especially in science. The idea being that ideally other investigators should be able to take one team's work, and be able to run through the entire analytical process, and reproduce the original findings, and perhaps even find ways to improve upon those original findings, and, so we realized working with the institute's Precision Medicine Platform, we had the opportunity to actually make a new type of article, we think of, as the paper of tomorrow, a virtual article. The idea would be, that we would have primary data on the Precision Medicine Platform, the analytical tools used to process the data would also be on the Precision Medicine Platform, the analytical plan, in the form of a so-called Jupiter notebook, that basically takes people step by step through exactly which tools were used in which order, in which way, with which parameters, would be on the Precision Medicine Platform, and then there would be some verbal explanation, some background, to explain the context of these analysis, and to really put it into perspective, as how it fits into the body of literature, and so the idea would be, this would live on the Precision Map Platform in a virtual format, and then anyone else who is interested in this work could come, and actually directly interact with the data, and the tools, and the analytical plan, and could actually rerun the entire papers work from scratch, thus reproducing it, and then could actually tweak the analytical plan, or install tools of their own, and be able to build upon the work that had already been done. It's a very different way of thinking about journal articles, more as living entities rather than static work that just lives on a page, and is there as reported, and then never has an opportunity to be fully produced or improved upon. Dr Amit Khera:                  There's so much happening in the space of genomics, and obviously, we hear the word "Precision Medicine" so commonly. Tell us a bit about how your journal in specific is advancing the mission of your area. Dr Kiran Musunuru:        I'll say a little bit, and then maybe turn it over to Chris, give his perspective as the incoming Editor-in-Chief. I think it's a vibrant field, but it's also a very new field, it's evolving rapidly, and I think the Journal has a very important role to play, and not only reporting the results that are coming out of studies in this field, but actually having a role to play in helping to shape the field, helping to define the field, it's very exciting, it's very much in rapid evolution. Just ten years ago or so, when the Journal first started, we were just starting to see the first Genome Wide Association studies, and now we've gone so far beyond that.                                                 Now, again, we're talking about these large bio banks, we're talking about Precision Medicine, we're talking about applying this information in health care, we're talking about combining all of these various streams of data and many levels to be able to do studies, that are, I would even say, exponentially advanced beyond what we able to do just ten years ago, and so, it's very exciting times for the journal, then maybe I can ask Chris to share his thoughts on that. Dr Chris Semsarian:         Yeah Kiran, I mean, it's a great honor system to follow in your amazing footsteps, and what you've done for the Journal, and as the incoming Editor-in-Chief, I really want to sort of try, and build on the platform that you've established over the last few years, and really, one of the areas that I'm particularly interested in is the area of Translation of Genomic Findings. I mean, ultimately what we do in our lives, as clinicians, is to help patients improve diagnosis, to improve the treatment of these patients, and to be able to do studies with very basic understanding of how our genomes work, and how Narcotic Genes interact, and translating those findings into these improved diagnostic approaches, and even in guiding management is really exciting, I think, in terms of clinical medicine, and improving patient care as we look ahead. I really want to be able to continue to publish really, state of the art, novel, innovative, research areas, that you've already covered, Kiran, which would lead to better care of our patients, who are ultimately the beneficiaries of this type of amazing work.                                                 So, I'm really excited looking at the Journal, it's a tremendous area of interest and research, where there's twenty-two thousand genes approximately now genomes, and we really don't understand most of them in terms of their intricate function, and I figured it's a great time ahead, in terms of Precision Medicine. Dr Amit Khera:                  Okay, well, that was Dr Kiran Musunuru, and Christopher Semsarian, we appreciate both of your time today for Circulation on the Run. Dr Paul Wang:                   I'm Dr Paul Wang, I'm the Editor-in-Chief of Circulation Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology. Our Journal covers really the expanse of our field, going from basic mechanisms of arrhythmias, so very basic science work, to really clinical practice, clinical outcomes, to population based studies, and genetic based considerations in our field. So, we really feel we encompass the entire range, and there really isn't any topic within our area, that we don't feel is outside our realm. Dr Amit Khera:                  I know there's so many innovative things you're doing, Dr Wang, with your journal. Why don't you tell us a little bit about your plans for this year. Dr Paul Wang:                   We've been excited; our team has been at the Journal for two years now, and we focused on a number of different areas. So, I think one of our biggest advances, and we've tried to be more responsive to the authors, so we've really reduced the time to first decision very substantially, from over twenty days, to ten days or less, I think we hit a record of 7.8 days in the journal. So, really, we hope we're more responsive, we've involved the editorial board, we've substantially expanded it, so that more of our reviews of greater proportion going to our editorial board, which is a really fabulous, internationally recognized group, with really high quality reviews, so we've been very pleased, with both a level of science that we've received, as well as the level of the reviews that we have. One other area is, we really want to make sure that the reviewers, who do much of the heavy lifting, in addition to our editors for The Journal, and so we've established a new Reviewer Recognition Award System, they can be designated as silver, gold or platinum, and we've reached out to department chairs, or their deans, and recognizing that they won this prestigious award for their performance, and great work with the Journal, so there are a number of different things that, in fact, we think we've made some advances in, the other areas are really that of extending our reach, and so, one of the things we concentrated on, initially with the adding of podcasts, so we do that monthly.                                                 All the articles are now available in review, and then what we're starting at our new initiatives is, we'll be starting a Twitter Journal Club. I've been recording at least two of our articles, as the interview with the authors, and then we're going to be having a journal club, in which we will have the opportunity for people around the world to comment, and have a discussion that will really be exciting, we think. So, there are a number of other areas that we're thinking about, in terms of that kind of work. Dr Amit Khera:                  The field of Electrophysiology seems to be changing by the day, maybe you can tell us a little bit, about how the journal is advancing the mission of the field of electrophysiology. Dr Paul Wang:                   So, one of the things that we focused on is the role the Journal can play, in terms of connecting with other elements of our field, and one of the ways that we've really concentrated on is, in particular, working closely with the American Heart Association, and its committees. We're related to a number of committees, but particularly, there is a committee on Electrocardiography, Electrophysiology, part of the Clinical Cardiology Council, and so, we work very closely with that group, and, in fact, we've invited that group to create proposals for a number of review articles, state-of-the-art reviews, that we hope will come out in the next year or so. The ways in which we can tie together our committees to AHA overall, I think, is really the direction we're looking for our journal, and we feel we can play a very novel, and innovative role in that regard. We, for example, also reached out to the American Heart Association funded researchers in our area, and invited them to participate in the journal, participate in our committees, become fellows or FAHA's of the American Heart Association, so we really want to create this family, a real community, and sense of community, that we hope will stem from the Journal. So, we're very excited about the future, and what we might be able to achieve together. Dr Amit Khera:                  Thank you so much, Dr Paul Wang for your time today, and we appreciate your insights on Circulation, Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology. Dr Nancy Sweitzer:          Hi, I'm Nancy Sweitzer. I'm the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal Circulation Heart Failure. At Circ Heart Failure, we deal with all things related to heart failure. Heart failure is an expanding specialty, relatively new subspecialty in cardiology, and we're very interested in the physiology, and mechanisms of heart failure, as well as treatments of heart failure, and the innovative evolution of the specialty which includes Advanced Hemodynamics, Mechanical Circulatory Support, and transplant as therapies, as well as all Implanted Device Therapies, and new, and Innovative Pharmacologic, and Gene Therapies as well. Dr Amit Khera:                  Tell us a bit about initiatives, or features in Circulation Heart Failure, that you're planning on tackling not only this year, but into the future. Dr Nancy Sweitzer:          The effort we're most excited about at Circulation Heart Failure has been ongoing now for a little over a year, but continues, and is really focused on the emerging scientists in the Heart Failure Space; we call it our "Featured Emerging Investigator Spotlight", and this spotlight focuses on authors of manuscripts, who are within ten years of their terminal training, and can take full responsibility for the content of a manuscript. When we publish a featured emerging investigator article, which we've done more than half of the months since launching the feature in late 2017, we schedule a Twitter Journal Club with that author, where we participate, over the course of several hours, in pretty intensive conversation, about not only the science, but career development in Heart Failure Space, the importance of mentoring, and sponsorship obstacles that people are facing in development as physician scientists or scientists, and insights they may have into fostering success in the Heart Failure Space. This has been a great feature, we launched it because we feel that the emerging scientists, in the Heart Failure Space, need a virtual community in those critical years, before you have a lot of resources to start traveling, and setting up a network that's based on personal interaction, and we felt that, the modern era of social media was perfect for this. We found our emerging investigators are getting to know one another, they participate in one another's Journal Clubs, the Journal Clubs are incredibly fun, and interactive and we're getting a lot of Twitter engagement from the Heart Failure Community, there's a lot of "Twitteratti" in Heart Failure that really are engaged, and engaged with the Journal, which has really been fun for all of us, I think, so that's the thing we're most excited about. Dr Amit Khera:                  It's really wonderful to hear how you're spotlighting authors in creative ways. Tell us a bit about how your journal is advancing the mission of Heart Failure and Transplantation. Dr Nancy Sweitzer:          I see the journal as central to advancement of the subspecialty, as I mentioned earlier, Heart Failure is a relatively young subspecialty in the United States, we received a CGMC designation as a subspecialty just in 2008, just eleven years ago, and it's been a board certifiable subspecialty only since 2014. So, we're very young, and I think really developing into our own. We've seen tremendous growth in the number of people seeking subspecialty training in Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology, and we are really enjoying helping the Journal evolve with the specialty, as it evolves, and that's happening very actively right now. So, I think what Heart Failure is in 2019 is different than what it was just five years ago in 2014. We're doing a lot more ,as I mentioned, Complex Chemo Dynamic Thinking, thinking about the path of physiology in our patients, and how we can target that effectively, not only with existing therapies, but with strategies, and, as I mentioned, the burgeoning growth of Mechanical Circulatory Support, and support devices, which the field has embraced quite actively, and The Journal is increasingly publishing content in these spaces, as well as the spaces of Advanced Heart Failure, but, I guess also, we're interested in every aspect of Heart Failure, from Complex Multidisciplinary Care Management, to Palliative Care, to the interaction of the heart with other organ systems, and Heart Failure such as the brain, we have a paper on Cognitive Function Abnormalities, and Heart Failure in this month's issue. So, the interaction with the brain, the kidney, the liver, many other organs, that are affected when the heart becomes quite ill with Advanced Heart Disease. So, basically we're interested in everything that touches Heart Failure Development Care, and treatment of patients with Heart Failure, and particularly we're interested in the newest and latest. We love publishing, and some of our highest impact papers in the last couple years have been new therapies, just being tested for the first time in patients with heart failure. Small studies that may not have large impact in terms of heart outcomes, but where we're learning about the pathophysiology of the disease, and new treatments, that's really exciting to us. We've published a couple of methods papers in the last year, really innovative models. One describing a model of pacing in mice, which has been a really challenging thing to do in Heart Failure, but several groups have now developed Tachycardia induced Cardiomyopathy models in mice, which is important for rapid discovery work, because mice have such a short reproductive span, and can be genetically altered, and then a recent publication on the methods paper, looking at a new initiative by the FDA, to potentially approve therapies based on patient reported outcomes, rather than just heart mortality and morbidity outcomes, so we're really excited about the innovations, and the Heart Failure Space, the work that describes where we're going as a field and as a profession. You'll see some features coming up in the journal, from opinion leaders across the globe on where this specialty sits in 2019, and where we, as the leaders in the field, can guide it as we move into our next decade, and I think that some of the most exciting work the journals doing. Dr Amit Khera:                  Thank you, Dr Sweitzer. We really appreciate your time today for the podcast, and your insights on the Journal. Dr Robert Gropler:          Good afternoon, I'm Rob Gropler. I'm the Editor-in-Chief of Circulation Cardiovascular Imaging. It's one of the journals within the family of Circulation Journals, and our focus is really on being the most influential source of leading edge imaging sciences, as it relates to transforming cardiovascular care, so what that means is, that we're interested in all imaging studies that are applied to the care of the cardiovascular patient, and although our primary focus is really on clinicians, and researchers, but we also want to expand our viewership, if you will, to anyone who is interested in how imaging is used to understand Cardiovascular Medicine, and to treat patients with Cardiovascular Disease. So, we are edged in all forms of imaging, this can be from MR, to echo, to nuclear, to CPT, to optical imaging, it involves all types of disease, ranging from Congenital Heart Disease, up to diseases in the elderly, it also involves not just it is in humans, but also understanding disease in the preclinical space, particularly as it helps us understand new technologies that may ultimately reach human use, either for investigational purposes, or ultimately, to be used in the treatment of a patient with Cardiovascular Disease. Dr Amit Khera:                  What are some innovative things you and the Journal are planning for this year? Dr Robert Gropler:          We're doing quite a few things. One of the first things we did, as you know, were relatively new, where we've only been an editorial team, if you will, for one year. One of the major efforts has been to increase our presence, in terms of digital media strategies, across the board. And so, this meant expand our Twitter presence, if you will. It also meant increasing our offerings in that digital space by, for example, having a journal club, what we would do is on a every other month basis, discuss a paper we published that's of significant interest via Twitter. And it would involve the authors, the associate editors who actually manage that study, as well as the editorialist who wrote about that study, and it leads to very unique insights into how that paper is being viewed by the scientific community at large, and also potentially how that information will be implemented in terms of transforming clinical care.                                                 We've added what we call a teaching file. If you think about imagers, imagers learn by seeing images. And the more they can see images, put them in the context of clinical cases, the more they understand what an image means when they see it. So, what we do now is we accept a large number of what we call imaging cases. These are specific unique cases that have a history, and then a short write up about them.                                                 And those are gathered each month, but then they're downloaded into a file. And then, anyone with access to the Journal can then look at, use to learn from, to potentially use for talks to enhance their own education the education of others. And we have found that to be, again, another offering that our readers particularly like. Dr Amit Khera:                  And how do you see Circulation Cardiovascular Imaging advancing the mission of imaging, which seems to be ever-expanding, and ever-growing? Dr Robert Gropler:          We're really in the education business. And what that means is that we're educating at a multi-scale level. Just educating a practitioner on what technology can do, how it's helping cardiovascular medicine, yes, that's important. But what we're also doing, is we're educating the scientists as to here as some of the new findings that were coming out because of imaging. And then that, in turn, will help direct them or signal them as to where is the science leading them, and what should be their next steps?                                                 We're also educating the general public as to what can imaging do, and how does imaging change cardiovascular medicine for the better, and what they can expect from that. And we're also educating the regulatory bodies, if you will, that determine what imaging can be done in the clinical environment and so on, and the importance of these imaging techniques.                                                 So number one, I think we always have to maintain that focus, as to that's our goal. Now, that being said, I think the question becomes how do you convey that concept? And where we have to continually evolve.                                                 And I think they were very smart years ago to make it a digital-only journal, as opposed to combined print and digital. So, I think that was actually very savvy. But the digital net component now has to expand. And that means our offerings have to reflect not just that people learn in different ways, that is, we have to have not just, if you will, a didactic or print equivalent component of a paper. But it also should be audio-based, such as this podcast. But they also need to be varied as in terms of the types of offerings, and their brevity or length, if you will. Dr Amit Khera:                  Thank you, Dr Robert Gropler, the Editor-in-Chief of Circulation Imaging. We really appreciate your time today. Dr Robert Gropler:          Thank you very much. You have a great day. Dr Amit Khera:                  Well, I'm sure you enjoyed this as I did. We really got incredible insight from the Editors-in-Chief of our Circulation family of journals. We learned so much about the broad array of subspecialties that they cover, and all the exciting and innovative things they're doing to really advance the missions of their fields, and also for the authors and for science.                                                 Well, again, I'm Amit Khera, associate editor from UT Southwestern, Digital Strategies editor for Circulation. And next week, you'll have your usual hosts, Carolyn Lam and Greg Hundley. Dr Carolyn Lam:                This program is copyright American Heart Association 2019.

You can easily use Sport or DK weight!        Ask me Anything   This episode I answered a question from SewRunKnit about how to photograph FOs late at night before a KAL deadline.     First tip would be-- take the best photo you can without killing yourself. Consider more of a proof of life so you're eligible for the contest and then after you post- delete those photos so you HAVE to take a better photo in the daylight. Natural light photos always come out best, especially if your photography skills are limited. But if you do have to shoot inside your house at midnight when the lighting is dim at best- here are my best tips: Find the best possible light your house has to offer. Try to find a lighter background to shoot agains Shoot straight at your FO instead of looking down on it, if possible. If using DSLR Camera (some require a built-in flash) Shoot in Aperture priority mode- and look for a low F stop number. Raise your ISO-. You may need a tripod or self timer because shake from hand can ruin the shot. Sometimes this is still really tricky and if we're going for simple it may not be your best bet. Use a flash but diffuse the light. Some options: Use the flash with tissue over it Hold a white index card/paper at a 45 degree angle in front of your flash, and take your shot. The light should hit the card, bounce to the ceiling, and spread out the light. Cut a water bottle and place over flash to diffuse light DIY diffuser tutorial Pop-up flash tips If using your smart phone to take photos Tap screen to focus, picking the darkest area. The camera should adjust and brighten it up some. Find a better camera app. I like the Camera Plus app. It allows you to adjust the brightness.   On a Happy Note Easter with my big, crazy family was tons of fun, especially the egg hunt with the kiddos.

Therefore, to be furious and enraged and bitter that people don't get all of who we are is a really cruel piece of immaturity."  Alain De Botton   ------   Thank you for tuning in!   Contact Information: Ravelry: BostonJen & Down Cellar Studio Podcast Ravelry Group Twitter: Instagram: BostonJen1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/downcellarstudio Sign up for my email newsletter to get the latest on everything happening in the Down Cellar Studio!

In this episode, you will learn about how to best implement boots on the ground, grassroots marketing efforts from Bill Sweitzer. Bill Sweitzer joined the Canal Corporations Public Affairs Office in February of 2012, serving as Deputy Director. For the past three years, he has led the Canal Corporations marketing and education programs and spearheaded community outreach efforts across the states Canal corridor. Bill has an extensive background in hospitality, sales, and customer service and has enjoyed success through connecting with people and building relationships. Bill is from the Capital Region, he enjoys hiking and camping with his family and is an avid fisherman. The New York State Canal Corporation, now a subsidiary of the New York Power Authority, owns and operates New York’s Canal system. The system includes four historic canals: the Erie, Champlain, Oswego, and Cayuga-Seneca. Spanning 524 miles, the waterway links the Hudson River, Lake Champlain, Lake Ontario, the Finger Lakes and Lake Erie via the Niagara River. Dubbed the Barge Canal in 1918, today’s Canal system turns 100 years old and is now listed as a National Historic Landmark. With more than 200 communities along its shores rich in history and culture, the Canal system forms the backbone of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor. The Erie Canalway Trail is a multi-use trail accommodating more than 1.5 million pedestrians, bicyclists, and cross-country skiers on an annual basis. Three-quarters of the 365-mile Erie Canalway Trail from Albany to Buffalo is a dedicated off-road trail, much of it along the canals former towpath. Other off-road sections will be completed as part of Governor Cuomo’s Empire State Trail initiative, which will include the Erie Canalway Trail and portions of the Champlain Canalway Trail, and at 750 miles will be the longest multi-use recreational trail network in the Nation upon its completion in 2020.

Lee Sweitzer has been around Mustangs all his life and even had a 1984 5.0 Mustang for his first car. At 17, he graduated high school and joined the service to become a Marine. He was stationed in Southern California and continued to race Mustangs. He has spent several years planning and preparing to open up his own performance shop to follow his passion. Lee has seen shop owners work themselves to the bone and is trying very hard to avoid falling into those pitfalls. He understands that it takes a bunch of hard work, but he wants to avoid making mistakes by researching ways to operate more efficiently. He has attended the Essentials of Operating a Shop seminar, many business seminars, talked with business coaches, and read business books. He has just received the keys to his initial shop space and has begun to get the business going part time. It is a very small space but he really isn’t tied down to a lease agreement so he has the option to move out whenever he needs more space. Lee already plans to work part time for several months to build up a client base and then look into moving into a larger space to hold multiple lifts and eventually, a chassis dyno. He is taking the task of opening up a shop very seriously and wants to limit his risk of making mistakes as he moves forward. Writing a formal business plan was an integral part of this process. While this may seem rare in the performance automotive world, writing a business plan forces you to take a hard look at the structure of how you want to operate.
