            <title>The 4 Success Attitudes Of Walt Disney</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5051331&amp;cid=t_116303_180_f&amp;fid=38612&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2Fpickthebrain%2FLYVv%2F%7E3%2FLbndGxQxOFM%2F</link>
            <description>‘Think, believe, dream and dare.’ Walt Disney
There is an attitude that sets apart the mediocre from the majestic. It is called the success attitude.
Did you know that when Walt headed west to pursue his dream, that he sold his possessions – even his camera, to purchase a First Class train ticket, because he wanted to arrive first class? Now that is success attitude exemplified.
&amp;nbsp;
Success attitudes don’t arrive once you’ve achieved success. Success attitudes must be present in the midst of your failure or your disaster.
These are the attitudes that will sustain you, and equip you to handle success when it suddenly appears, seemingly out of nowhere, for all to see.
So let’s have a closer look at the 4 success attitudes.

            <description>By Jane Sarasohn-Kahn. Can a patient’s experience with health care providers be as engaging, entertaining and satisfying as time spent at amusement parks? The Disney Institute thinks so, and has established a program to help health providers delight health consumers called Building a Culture of Healthcare Excellence.
With the tagline, “D-Think Your Way to Success,” The Disney Institute offers programs that help organizations apply Disney’s lessons in customer service, creativity and leadership to their own situations. In the case of the Healthcare Excellence program, Disney is looking to re-focus health care delivery beyond clinical outcomes toward the overall patient experience.

The Institute’s press release notes that the HCAHPS survey on patients’ experiences with provider...</description>

            <description>Back in 2009, we reported on what seemed to be a secret neuromarketing lab in Austin operated by Disney. As much as we hear about neuro-cinema and neuro-enhanced movies, it seems that Disney&amp;#8217;s goal is more prosaic: determining which ads actually work. They also use the lab to investigate new technologies that people aren&amp;#8217;t familiar [...]

            <description>Mrs. Happy and I just returned from Disney World for our Happy family vacation. (It was either that or a Parkinson&amp;#8217;s Cruise.) While at Disney&amp;#8217;s Epcot Center, Mama and Papa Happy discovered what the future of healthcare in America will look like, and it has nothing to do with insurance.
You&amp;#8217;ve all seen that giant Epcot ball. Inside that ball is a slow-moving ride that takes you through thousands of years of history. At the end you choose your own future. I present to you this video showing the future of healthcare in America, courtesy of the Epcot Spaceship Earth and Mama and Papa Happy:

A couple words of mention. They still think there will be doctors in the future, unless their reference to doctors was reference to future nurse practitioners known as Dr. Nurse. That...</description>

            <title>McDonald’s Case Highlights ObamaCare’s Threat to Low-Income Workers’ Health Insurance, Political Freedom</title>

            <description>By Michael F. CannonMany employers, such as McDonald&amp;#8217;s, provide health benefits that are less comprehensive than most.  They may have an annual claims limit of $10,000 or less.  But if you&amp;#8217;re young, healthy, and need to pinch your pennies, that may suit you just fine.  According to Jerry Newman, a SUNY-Buffalo professor who wrote a book about working at McDonald&amp;#8217;s, &amp;#8220;For those who didn&amp;#8217;t have health insurance through their spouse, it was a life saver.&amp;#8221;
These are the health plans (and the workers) that are seeing the highest premium increases under ObamaCare.  The Wall Street Journal reports:
Trade groups representing restaurants and retailers say low-wage employers might halt their coverage if the government doesn&amp;#8217;t loosen a requirement for &amp;#8...</description>

            <description>Disneynature&amp;#8217;s OCEANS


 
Welcome to our third reader giveaway! (And trust us, it won&amp;#8217;t be   our last.)
It&amp;#8217;s Earth Week! Disneynature, the studio that brought you the record-breaking film Earth, is bringing OCEANS to the big screen on April 22, 2010, and will help raise money during its opening week (April 22-28), for The Nature Conservancy’s work to save coral reefs in the Bahamas.
Nearly three-quarters of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, and OCEANS boldly chronicles the mysteries that lie beneath.

Narrated by Pierce Brosnan and featuring spectacular never-before-seen imagery captur...</description>

            <title>Is Your TV Also Your Babysitter?</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3424818&amp;cid=t_116303_87_f&amp;fid=36050&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fis-your-tv-also-your-babysitter%2F</link>
            <description>Even the best parents use their idiot box as a sitter from time to time. When you have crap to do, it&amp;#8217;s oh-so tempting to prop your kids in front of the boob tube and turn on the Disney Channel or pop in a DVD. But how much telly is way too much?
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that kids younger than two years old not watch any TV at all, and that those older than two watch no more than one to two hours a day of educational programs. So how much are our kids watching? A hell of a lot more than that.
According to a recent Nielsen report, American kids are staring at the small screen more than they have since 2001. The study reveals that kids ages two to five spend more than 32 hours a week in front of the TV, and that older kids (ages six to eleven) spend about 28 ...</description>

            <description>This study is in keeping with the past research that has looked into the effectiveness of these DVDs and educational videos and found them wanting. Past research has also shown that, for the most part, these DVDs simply do not work to help give a toddler a &amp;#8220;leg up&amp;#8221; in their educational development. In fact, in past studies, infants who watch educational DVDs actually learned fewer words and scored lower on certain cognitive tests than babies who did not watch the DVDs.
Baby Einstein claims they don&amp;#8217;t market their DVDs to help make babies more smart (although at one time in their history, they did market the increased developmental skills brought about by their videos). Yet I suspect many parents purchase these products &amp;#8212; in part, because of the name &amp;#8212; thinking...</description>

            <description>My new post on Politics Daily / Woman Up:
I&amp;#8217;d kill to have had your childhood,&amp;#8221; a writer friend once told me. She envied my bottomless pit of tragic inspiration.
I, on the other hand, would kill to have had anything but.
&amp;#8220;I was frightened,&amp;#8221; she said. But of Chucky, not her family or neighborhood&amp;#8230;
Read the rest on AOL. You Can&amp;#8217;t Judge a Princess by Her Tiara.
Things are not always as they seem, as proven by the iconic 1991 photograph of a tiara-adorned little girl dressed up as a princess, with a bleak Bronx street in the background.
But the life of 6-year-old Guissette Muniz was no sob story. She was a happy kid. &amp;#8220;My entire family lived in that area,&amp;#8221; she said. &amp;#8220;We knew everyone and anyone who came by.&amp;#8221; The photographer captured h...</description>

            <description>Although the temp's were actually warmer in San Francisco over the weekend, I had the pleasure of traveling to Florida to meet up with friends from Children With Diabetes for the Disney World running weekend. Races included a 5k, half marathon and full marathon. Brian Foster gets the award for running both the half marathon and the full marathon, one day apart. Way to go!Diabetes-wise, things went well. I managed the taper by boosting my basal by 20% in the couple days leading up to the race. I was having some big oscillations 2 days before, likely related to traveling across 3 time zones, not eating normal meals and getting too little sleep. Things settled down and the day before, my BG's were good. I continued with my regular Symlin dose of 6 U before meals up until race morning. Because...</description>

            <description>How did 5-year-old Colum Canning fall into a pool at a Disneyland Paris hotel during a Christmas trip? Colum, who was autistic, was discovered in the pool by another guest, who pulled him out; he had already lost consciousess when he was taken to a hospital, where he died, today&amp;#8217;s SkyNews reports.
Colum was just a typical wee boy who was so happy, so loving and so full of energy,
said Colum&amp;#8217;s parents, Karen Canning and David Bradley of Derry, in a statement, and may he be remembered just like that.

The Disney Channel has pulled the season opener of Hannah Montana because of concerns as to how a diabetes-related story line was portrayed.
The episode is title &amp;#8220;No Sugar, Sugar&amp;#8221; and centers around Oliver, a friend os Hannah&amp;#8217;s, who is dealing with diabetes. ~source
Personally, if there was any concerns at all about this episode airing I&amp;#8217;m glad they pulled it. Diabetes is used so often as a tension plot device (and often incorrectly - as on a recent episode of 30 Rock) that people get bad information. Like it or not, entertainment is a form of information these days. People get their information or misconceptions based on thi...</description>

            <description>We are currently on a family vacation at Disneyworld and I noticed today that there were so many AED machines very visibly labeled all over the park. How cool is that?
I think that this will help save so many and having them identified in the park brochures is another plus. Just my hearty observation for the day. By the way, the kids loved Hollywood studios!

            <description>Disney characters and penguins are 15-year-old Pamela Williamson&amp;#8217;s favorite subjects to draw, and Microsoft&amp;#8217;s Paint software is her preferred medium. According to today&amp;#8217;s Saanich News, Williamson was diagnosed with autism at the age of 5:
While normally Pamela draws from her photographic memory, today she references a picture of herself at Disneyland to guide her drawing. The face, hair, arms, neck and torso take shape and colour in minutes - but she exercises her artistic licence by replacing the mouth with that of a robot&amp;#8217;s.
&amp;#8220;Pamela is a silly goose!&amp;#8221; announces the 15 year old.
With a few clicks and drags of the mouse, she is transformed into Princess Jasmine from Disney&amp;#8217;s Aladdin.
Pam is crazy about Disney.
Her family takes her several times a y...</description>

            <description>On Saturday night, we took Charlie to see a student variety show at the college where I teach. I&amp;#8217;ve taken Charlie to these shows before. We sit in the back&amp;#8212;the auditorium&amp;#8217;s not very large so every seat is good&amp;#8212;and it&amp;#8217;s a very relaxed and homey atmosphere. A lot of my students were in the production and they had given me an idea of some of the program: A couple of songs from Disney movies and Broadway musicals, and some improv acts.
The show was almost an hour and a half, with an intermission, and Charlie sat through it all. We got there just as it was starting. A couple of students were clustered at the back and then the opening lines of &amp;#8220;The Circle of Life&amp;#8221; from The Lion King rang out. The students (or rather, animals) trooped in, with us behind, ...</description>

            <description>I realize you might be sitting there uttering to yourself, “Sue, are you nuts? Magic is the last thing on my mind.”
Let me just ask you one question: “Don’t you miss the magic in your life?”
I know you’re hurting. I am hurting, too, everyday of my life. Constant pain pulls at the joy in our lives; tries to stifle our dreams and definitely steals the magic, the miraculous and the mystical that brings pleasure to life. When we’re children, we dare to believe in the enchantment and the surprises of life. These are the things that sparkle and spread magic as well as the ethereal throughout our lives. You only have to be around small children for a short time to realize this.
Walt Disney really started something when he began drawing pictures of a little animated mouse. He and the...</description>

            <description>One non-intended side effect of Jenny McCarthy&amp;#8217;s transformation (repackaging?) into autism mother is the variety of topics now seemingly up for grabs to discuss along with autism. For instance, Ozzy Osbourne, into whom one can become by (a McCarthy has said that she has done) taking one&amp;#8217;s child (not one&amp;#8217;s own) seizure medication. 
As my son is on the gluten-free casein-free diet (and has been since he was 2 years old, with occasional &amp;#8220;dietary infractions), I have made it a policy to try many non-wheat and non-dairy foods to see what I wish for him to eat tastes like. (And I have concluded, there&amp;#8217;s nothing like actual mozzarella on actual pizza&amp;#8212;tofu is for stir-fry with a good black bean sauce, forget the soy cheese product). However, trying Charlie&amp;#8217...</description>

            <description>&amp;nbsp;
Last April I posted a piece on this Blog entitled &quot;If Disney Did Healthcare&quot;.&amp;nbsp; I commented that there was a lot the healthcare industry could learn from Disney&amp;nbsp;about customer service, customer experience,&amp;nbsp;and customer satisfaction.&amp;nbsp; It&amp;nbsp;was one of those posts that generated a number of comments.&amp;nbsp; The following month, I posted a piece&amp;nbsp;called &quot;If Wal-Mart Did Healthcare&quot; where I discussed some of the&amp;nbsp;factors contributing to the rapid growth of the retail health clinic industry and its focus on customer relationship management, convenience, value, and price transparency. 
Yesterday,&amp;nbsp;I received&amp;nbsp;an e-mail from Jake Poore, President of a consulting firm called Integrated Loyalty Systems.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As soon as I read it, I just knew I had t...</description>

            <description>On Wednesday, my mom and dad took Charlie to see The Lion King. Charlie sat through all 2 1/2 ours of the show and liked it best when most of the cast came onstage and everyone sang and danced together. In the scene after Simba the lion king&amp;#8217;s father is dying and Simba is calling out &amp;#8220;Dad! Dad!&amp;#8221; to his father, my parents recounted how Charlie sat on the edge of his seat, his hands in theirs, his eyes huge and riveted on the scene onstage.
Charlie, my parents told me, was genuinely worried about seeing a dad lying motionless on the ground (on stage), for all of his child&amp;#8217;s calls to him. Charlie was imagining himself in Simba&amp;#8217;s&amp;#8212;in someone else&amp;#8217;s&amp;#8212;-situation and responding at the thought of dad-in-trouble: Charlie understood fully the emotional c...</description>
