The people who are attending this symposium — as well as the Carter Center itself — have done much to improve mental health care in the U.S., but it’s not something you hear enough about. It’s heartening so many great minds coming together to share best practices and ideas for improvement (especially at this unique time in healthcare history). Not just policy wonks, but also physicians, mental health practitioners, administrators, consumers, CEOs, you name it — they’re all here. All talking about wa...

Do secondary schools near your home make the cut? Today’s US News and World Report named America’s Best High Schools. Apparently they analyzed data from thousands of schools and came up with the nation's best list. The top 100 schools were chosen for their unique approaches to teach future leaders. A school near me is 57th . Go Brighton High School! In fact top schools on this list deserve the gold stars they earned!

Both introduce or explain a concrete theme to a target audience. In each case the communicator conveys information clearly  … in words that show recipients what they know … or have researched ... about their subject. 2. The communicator avoids personal or emotional reactions in order to present unbiased information about a theme or topic.

In other words, why do people hear and even buy into great ideas – but then soon after -  return to their old ways? The culprit? Growth is stumped less by unwillingness or closed-mindedness and more because people lack of brain based approaches that facilitate lasting improvements. What amazing innovations lost steam lately where you work? Here are 2 tips to transform great ideas into successful outcomes at work – both based on how the mind works. 1. Call on more effective facilitators who turn high-performance-mind-tools such as an MI growth survey into bridges between  employee strengths and the firm’s vision for excellence.

For me, it' s series of steps that munch DNA/protein data, combines it with other data using various small scripts and outputs the results as diagrams or HTML. Do we want to code this kind of software as a script? If you think "makefile!" now, then you're much more clever than I was. But personally, until recently, I've glued my scripts together using other scripts. And used makefiles only for compiling my programs. That was a bad idea.
