make," he said. "The problem is how far do you push it? And quite frankly in this

industry as with other highrisk, safety-demand type of industries, we are borrowing from safety, and it's not always that obvious how close

we are to the edge of having an accident." There are attempts with-

in the industry to develop more of a safety culture. The National EMS Pilots Asso-

ciation recently launched a safety culture survey that HEMS programs can use to compare themselves to other organizations. Pruchnicki says such safety management tools can give a false sense of security, suggesting that as long as the survey results are good, that safety isn't an ongoing concern. High-performing organizations, he says, never rest on safety and are constantly

vigilant for potential problems and improvements. But that requires significant buyin from management and the entire organization. "What is going to happen, dare I say, is we're going to be left standing in the rubble scratching our heads saying, 'How did this happen?'" he said. "We've implemented a safety culture, why are

The posts are slickly designed, even if their visual uniformity can make scrolling through a newsfeed of the digital holiday letters a bit grating. However, in somecasesthe summaries can go beyond irritating and becomedownright cruel. The default tagline for the posts is"It's been agreatyear! Thanks for being a part of it." But not everyoneactually had agreat year. For some users, the prompts to view their own digital year in review may dig up painful memories. Eric Meyer, awebdesign consultant and writer, is one of those people. Earlier this year, helost his daughter to brain cancer on her 6th birthday. For that reason, Meyer wrote in ablog post, he had actively avoided looking at previews of his ownautomatically generated summary post. But Facebook put apersonalized prompt advertising the feature in his newsfeed, hewrote, prominently featuring the face of his dead daughter — surrounded bywhat appears to beclip art figures having a party. Meyer is awareFacebook didn't intend to pour salt on his recent wound, and instead thinks of it as aparticularly Unkind design flaw: "This inadvertent algorithmic cruelty is the result of code that works in the overwhelming majority of cases, reminding people of the awesomeness of their years, showing themselfies at aparty or whale spouts from sailing boats or the marina outside their vacation house. "But for those of us who lived through the death of loved ones, or spent extended time in the hospital, or were hit by divorce or losing a Iob orany one of a hundred crises, we might not want another look at this past year." He suggests a handful of "obvious" design fixes, like not pre-filling the app with photos unless auser actually wants to seepictures from their year andasking before showing a user a preview of the app. Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment on their design decisions. But the Facebook "Year in Review" feature highlights a larger digital design problem: Algorithms andcode aren't intelligent, they just do what they're told.

'Hope'diminished Less than halfway through his presidency, Obama reflected onhow being in office had left him"all dinged up." The vaunted "hope" posters from his 2008 campaign are "all dog-eared and faded," he saidatafundraiserthreeyears later.

He was searching for ways to re-create the energy of 2008. Heading into his final two years in the White House, that

challenge is greater. Signs that Obama's presidency is closing are all around. Within weeks, the race to replace him will begin in earnest. Democrats are lining up to en-

dorse Clinton, though she's yet to declare her candidacy.

People close to Obama say he is weighing what he will do when he leaves the White

House at the relatively young age of 55. He is studying the paths his predecessors have taken and has expressed inter-

est in working on both domestic and international issues. He

is considering ways to expand mentoring programs he started for young black men in the U.S. and emerging leaders in Africa andAsia. It is less clear where Obama

ends. They own a red-brick, Georgian-style home in Kenwood, a neighborhood on Chicago's South Side. Their oldest

daughter, Malia, graduates from high school soon and has been looking at colleges in California. The president is said to be drawn to the idea that he

could blend in more easily in bustling New York. Obama is already imagining life with fewer restrictions.

Asked in a New Yorker interview earlier this year whether

he would want to be a judge, Obama said that sounded a bit "too monastic."

"Particularly after having spent six years and what will be eight years in this bubble, I think I need to get outside a lit-

Trees should be cleaned of all decorations, including tinsel, and placed in a visible location by the street in front of your home. Checks should be made out to "Boy Scouts of America" or as specified on the door flier, placed in a plastic bag and secured to the tree with a rubber band.

on a plane seemed counterintuitive. So I opted for Mii amo spa in Sedona, Arizona, a 7'/2-hour drive from Los Angeles that felt far enough away to

qualify as an escape. Mii amo is on the grounds of Enchantment, a 70-acre resort five miles northwest of

Sedona and surrounded by wilderness and the majestic

red rocks of Boynton Canyon. The area was inhabited by the Yavapai, who consider it their

place of origin. ("Mii amo" is a Native American term signifying passage or journey)

The treatments, activities and cuisine, available

to guests of the 218-room Enchantment resort as well as those who choose to stay

in one of the 16 Mii amo all-inclusive spa rooms, were designed to promote healing of mind, body and spirit. But virtue isn't the only item on the menu; there are cocktails

on offer as well.

The road to Sedona I left LA before sunrise so I could beat the traffic and settle into the idea of relaxing.

I passed Palm Springs and Blythe, then eased across the California state line into Ari-

zona bymidmorning. See Sedona/C4

For most players, bridge is a s o cial pastime. Tournament bridge has always been an intensely competitive world, but the face of tournaments has changed. To give its members what t he y w a n t a n d pr o sper financially, the American Contract Bridge League offers adeluge of events that l e t p l a yers achieve w ithout e v e r f ac i n g str o n g opposition.

QUEsTloN:Aren't facials just for foo-foo beauty junkies? ANswER: Think of g etting a f a cial as analogous to seeing a dentist for a routine cleaning. Brushing at home is necessary, but you rely on a professional for deep cleansing and maintenance to keep your Shelly Hopple, LE pearly whites in tip top shape. During a facial, we assess your skin and give you advice on practical solutions to reach your goals. We use organic enzyme peels to gently exfoliate the skin to minimize the look of acne, fine lines, age spots, acne scars and just brighten up dull skin. After the peel, a mask is applied to treat specific problems you might suffer from like acne, dry skin, Rosacea or other skin conditions. Every facial is customized each visit; your skin changes as you live, so our treatments evolve as you do. Our facials are amazingly relaxing too; they include massage for your scalp, face, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, chest and upper back. Also, each treatment is done on a heated 4 inch memory foam esthetic chair that is fully adjustable for your comfort. You will look and feel marvelous immediately after a facial; inside and out. Monthly facials and proper home care are a great way to maintain youthful looking healthy skin.

You should choose a physician specializing in breast care, who can educate you on the many options and treatments available to you. If you have breast cancer you have a choice in the specialists you see. The treatment of breast cancer is advancing and changing continuously so choose physicians who are well educated, interested in breast cancer and compassionate to your individual situation. Ideally your surgeon will develop a treatment plan in conjunction with the St. Charles Breast Cancer Center and you. You should thoroughly understand your options before proceeding with definitive treatment.

ANSWER: Testosterone is a "steroid" hormone, one of the sex hormones made from Chole"sterol" (reason for the name steroid) found in men and women. Testosterone generally declines at 1.6'/0 Dr. Kerie Raymond Naturopathic ye ar starting at age 30. Men (and Women) taking Rx meds to lower Cholesterol may find their Testosterone levels decline even more! Symptoms of Low T can include Apathy, Night sweats/hot flashes, Decreased flexibility, Loss of muscle mass, Breasts in Men, Anemia, Reduced bone density, Weight gain, Reduced libido, Erectile dysfunction, Fatigue, Depression, and Sleep disturbances. Stress, diet, and aromatization (conversion to Estrogen in fat tissue) can affect Testosterone. So of course rather than just Rx T, we would like to determine and treat the cause. Precursor hormones and nutrients can be used to build up T rather than using Rx T. Testosterone is a Controlled Substance and regulated by the DEA. It can only be Rx by a Licensed Physician who should only Rx if levels are low. Testosterone can be measured in blood or saliva, and the "free" form determined. Questionnaires can be also be used to determine if low T is a problem before progressing to labs. If you think you are suffering from low T, please call and schedule a consult. We will be offering a free talk in January. Call our office for details.

Report: Harbaugh to Michigan SANTA CLARA,

Calif.— Jim Harbaugh Harbaugh is expected to accept an offer to coach his alma mater, the University of Michigan, according to Bleacher Report's Jason Cole. Michigan officials are believed to be inthe Bay Area to formally present a six-year, $48 million offer to Harbaugh, who is finishing out the fourth year of a five-year deal with the SanFrancisco 49ers. "That's what everybody on staff believes is going to happenthis week," a source said in the Bleacher Reportarticle, which cited two of Harbaugh's assistants and a leaguesource. "Jim has figured out that his style is bestsuited for the college game. His shtick works better with young guys who are gone after three or four years." Oakland, however, is expected to makeabid for Harbaugh oncethe 49ers wrap up their season against Arizona today. Other NFLopenings also could occur and bring more suitors for the 51-year-old coach.

Buyin I s'd r Who he Is: President of Fidelity Brokerage Services What he says: Retail investors don't always buy highand sell low.

Ram Subramaniam

Mom-and-pop investors often get a bad rap. We're supposedly overly emotional and too quickto buy high when the market Is peaking and to sell low when investments are going on sale. But that's not always the case.Ask Ram Subramaniam, who has a good window intothe actions of average investors. Fidelity has more than 15 million retail brokerage accounts nationwide. When sliding prices for crude oil and the Russian ruble helped drag the Standard & Poor's 500 index down nearly 5 percent In early December, investors at Fidelity actually picked up their buying. They've been rewarded: The S&P 500 has since reached a record high.

What have you learned about recent Investor behavior? In our investor base, one of the things we track Is the buy/sell ratio (whIch measures total purchase orders of stocks and stock-related investments, divided by sell orders). In the third quarter of this year, it was 1.24 buys for every sell. ParI of that is that Fidelity retail investors are generally engaged with the market and trying to grow wealth, so they're more biased toward buying. Over a long-term basis, the ratio is consistently over 1 (meaning customers are doing more buying than selling). What we find interesting is that in the first two weeks of December, when the market was more volatile wIth oII and the ruble falling, we saw the

Where have investors generally been putting their money? We found that health care, technology and financials are the top three sectors for where new money goes.

the world has been riding a lucky streak since the global financial meltdown in 2008. How

so? The years between 2008 and late 2013 were — relatively speaking — a rather benign period of big-power politics and geopolitics. This allowed the major economic powers — the United States, the European Union, China,

India, Russia, Brazil and Japan — to focus almost exclusively on econom-

ic rehabilitation. But now there are

strong indications that our vacation from geo-instability is over. The last time the world witnessed

such a steep and sustained drop in oil prices — from 1986 to 1999 — it had some profound political consequences for oil-dependent states and those who depended on their largesse. The

he state of Oregon has sent Deschutes County a message: Your affordable housing problem isn't that serious. Since 2009, Deschutes County contributed more than $3.5 million to a state program for affordable housing. It's generated fmm a fee the Legislature put on real estate transactions. That $3.5 million is about a quarter of the total money raised for theprogram. What did Deschutes County get back? A fraction of what itput in. There were two projects in Redmond. One got $200,000. The second got $450,000. It's not completely clear if the money for both projects all came from this affordable housing fund. Those are the only two state Sen. Tim Knopp, R-Bend, tracked down. Knopp summed up the problem recently: Deschutes County can't afford to pay for affordable housing in Portland. "I don't know of a place that has

more of a problem with affordable housingthan Deschutes County, specifically Bend," he said. Knopp has more questions about theprogram — howprojects are chosen, how much is spent on administering the money. And he plans to introduce a bill that will guararitee the bulk of the money that a county sends tothe state for affordablehousinggoesto affordablehousing needs inthat county. He knows the bill will face significant opposition. Other parts of the state are benefiting at Deschutes County'sexpense. And the state doesn't generally allocate revenue in proportionto where it comes from. But the argument opponents of the bill will have to overcome is the scope of Deschutes County's problemandthat thismoneyistargetedto fix it. Or do legislators really want to try to tell county residents that they are getting just what they deserve?

focuses on North Korea's cyberwar with Sony, the Hermit Kingdom is rapidly increasing its stockpile of nuclear weapons material, with little real pushback from the United States.

A new analysis of North Korea's nuclear program by a group of top U.S. experts, led by David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security, estimates

that North Korea could have enough material for 79 nuclear weapons by 2020. The analysis has not been pre-

viously published. Albright said the North Korean government is ramping up its production of plutonium and highly enriched uranium, speeding toward an amount that would

allow it to build enough nuclear weapons to rival other nudear states, including India, Pakistan and IsraeL "North Korea is on the verge ofbeing able to scale up its nuclear weapons program to the level of the other

major players, so it's critical to head this off," Albright said in an interview. "It is on the verge of deploying a nudear arsenal that would pose not only a threat to the United States and its allies but also to China."

According to the analysis, which included the input of a team of former government officials, nuclear

experts and North Korea-watchers, the regime has as many as four facilities churning out nuclear weapons

hile I was away this month,

Vermont decided to scuttle its single-payer health care plans. I predicted as much six months ago, for one simple reason: A single-payer system would cost too much. When faced with the choice of imposing double-digit payroll taxes or dropping his cherished single-payer plan, the governor of Vermontblinked. "But Megan!" I hear you cry. "Single-payersystems are cheaper, not more expensive! Look at Europe!" Alas, however, as I wrote at the

time, there is nothing about single payer that will magically allow us to cut costs to European levels. People who believed otherwise were sub-

stituting a crude eyeballing of international statistics to substitute for reasoned analysis, in part because it

told them what theywantedtobe true: that they could have the universality

and progressi veness of a single-payer system without having to ask the taxpayer for a giant heap of money to provide those benefits. They were, in the words of one of my favorite public-policy professors, "getting high on their own supply." Now, I know what you are preparing to say: I am allowing my ideological priors to blind me to the plain evidence in front of my nose. So let me explain. I concede that single-payer systems may well allow you tocontrol the rate of health care cost growth, thanks to government price controls

do is easily cut the rate of health care spending. None of the single-payer systems that are frequently held up

as models for the U.S. have ever managed sustained cuts in health care spending. All they've done is prevent it from growing so fast. The problem, as I wrote previously, is that America doesn't have a

Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democratic member of the House Intelligence Committee, told us that the intelligence attributing the attack to North

Korea has "a level of certainty that you normally don't see." Schiff worried, however, that responding to North Korea with a

may backfire: "They can do a lot more damage to us in a cyber battle, given our exposure and given that their infrastructure is already so di-
