Is the cup half full or is the cup half empty?
Posted by MyMedicalRecords | Filed under Personal Health
I have a 30 year old Styrofoam cup in my dressing cabinet. No one sees it but me and I look at it almost every day. It holds my collars stays (the little plastic things to keep my shirts from being crumpled) and it has a line in blue ink around the middle. When I was in my 30’s I participated in a program called Lifespring.
During one of my more intense Lifespring trainings Jack Zwissig, then the trainer and today an MMR Board Member gave me that cup. I think I paid $1500 for it at the time never realizing how valuable it would become. Jack handed me the empty Styrofoam coffee cup asking what did I see? I answered what any reasonable person would answer “a cup”. Then he drew the line around the cup and asked…..is this cup half full or half empty? And that’s where the story begins and why I think look at and think about that cup almost every day.
So today I reached for my cup and I found this link, it tells readers that MMR should be viewed as one of the top five companies to watch in health care today, http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/05/prweb4031374.htm , Now you might ask what does my Styrofoam cup have to do with being one of the top five companies to watch in healthcare technology in 2010? Simply put to me it means “half full” and continuing on our way.
When I look at my 30 year old dog-eared cup I always see it “half full” and I remember that day at The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel when Jack gave it to me. The memories that make up our life are the most valuable treasures we own. I have lots of stuff but very little as important as that cup (and the harmonica swizzle stick whistles I played with growing up at my grandparents house).
The point of this blog is to is to get you to make your own cup. All you need is a Styrofoam cup and a blue pen. Draw a line around the middle of the cup and think about how you will go about the decisions in your life today. Will you come from your cup being half full or half empty? I always look at my cup as half full even when I feel a little empty. That how I remind myself of all life’s daily opportunities specifically MMR as all of you know by now which takes up the majority of my life.
Many of you have helped make the Institute for Health Technology Transformation prediction possible and to all who did and will continue to help make it happen as customers, followers and shareholders thank-you.
Over the past week it became obvious how important it was for me to always look at my cup as half full. The half full cup reminds me of the many adversities that have come and gone in my life that would have been so much more challenging if my cup were half empty. It also reminded me of all the opportunities that lie ahead. It reminded me to focus on what is in the cup, not what was missing from the cup. And most importantly it reminds me to come from abundance and not scarcity.
I would hate to spend my day focusing on telling people why they will fail. I would rather enjoy coming from abundance. To many people come from a focus on scarcity and as such miss abundance.
Having a half full cup always around reminds me to focus on keeping it full rather than worrying about what its missing. So with that I think I’ll go find some customers to fill my cup and do my part to make sure the Institute gets to be right.
First I think I’ll get a Starbucks.

Last week MMR introduced its new Blog re-designed to make it easier to communicate with you. This week the Company will begin an expanded social networking effort to educate readers on the importance of having a personal health record. As a result of these blogs and our social networking campaigns many of you have contacted me for more information about who I am and what I have done. So I hope this short excerpt helps…………
Robert H. “Bob” Lorsch is a Los Angeles businessman, entrepreneur and philanthropist. He founded MyMedicalRecords, Inc. in 2005, leading the company through a merger with the biotechnology company Favrille, Inc., which was completed in January 2009 to become MMR Information Systems, Inc. (MMRF). The Company plans on formerly becoming MMRGlobal after its annual meeting this June.
Mr. Lorsch continues to serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the public company, a provider of secure, easy-to-use consumer-controlled Personal Health Records (PHRs), www.mymedicalrecords.com, and electronic safe deposit box storage solutions, www.myesafedepositbox.com, that enable individuals and families to easily manage and access all their medical records and other important documents, whether paper-based or digital, in one secure online location.
The company’s newest product, MMRPro (www.mymedicalrecordsmd.com), distributed in conjunction with Kodak’s document imaging reseller organization, is designed to give physicians a cost-effective solution to digitizing patient charts while providing patients real time access to their medical records through an integrated PHR (www.mymedicalrecordsonline.com/videos).
Mr. Lorsch steered the development of the MyMedicalRecords PHR built on proprietary, patented technologies to bring an integrated communications platform to healthcare technology: MyMedicalRecords.com uses fax, phone, and file upload to transmit and store documents, images and voicemail messages in a confidential account that gives people access to their medical records and other vital documents, such as insurance policies, birth certificates and wills, anytime from anywhere in the world using the Internet.
As a result of MMR’s merger with Favrille, the company acquired intellectual property assets, including data from clinical vaccine trials and an anti-CD20 antibody that is a potential candidate for the next generation Rituxan®. Rituxan, used to treat Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and other B-Cell malignancies, was the first monoclonal antibody approved by the FDA to treat cancer, and Mr. Lorsch retained GRSworldwide in 2009 to accelerate the time to market of the company’s anti-C20 antibody asset.
Mr. Lorsch also heads up the business management and investment-holding corporation, The RHL Group, Inc., www.rhlgroup.com, with diverse interests in e-commerce, entertainment production, biotechnology and nutritional products for pets www.dancingpaws.com.
From 1994-1998, he was Chief Executive Officer of SmarTalk TeleServices, Inc., leading the company he co-founded and led through a successful public offering in 1996, building it into one of the largest providers of prepaid telecommunications products and services in the world. Not wanting to leave Los Angeles Lorsch resigned from SmarTalk as it’s CEO in January 1998 after the company relocated to Columbus Ohio, however he remained one of its largest shareholders after the business was sold to AT&T more than a year after his departure more than eleven years ago .
Prior to that, he partnered with Pacific Bell Information Services to build a voice mailbox system that became part of the WinFax product offerings. In the 1980s, he built and headed Lorsch Creative Network, a full-service advertising and sales promotion agency specializing in marketing campaigns for national and international blue chip clients, including the ABC, CBS and NBC broadcast television networks, Campbell’s Soup, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, Marvel Entertainment, Northrop Grumman, McDonald’s Corporation, and others.
Mr. Lorsch is a Member of the Board of Trustees of the California Science Center in Los Angeles, having also served a four-year term on the State-appointed Board of Directors. His support of science and technology was recognized in 1998 by Vice President Al Gore in his dedication of the new Science Center, where the Robert H. Lorsch Family Pavilion stands as the gateway to the museum in Exposition Park.
He also is a Member of the Board and of the Executive Committee of D.A.R.E. America; Member of the Board of Governors of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center; and Member of the Board of the Sheriff’s Youth Foundation. He has also served as a National
Vice President and President of the Executive Committee/Western Region of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Further, he has been a major supporter of the John Wayne Cancer Institute; the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation; and the Thalians Mental Health Center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Mr. Lorsch also served on the Personal Health Record Steering Committee of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), whose membership is comprised of leaders in the field of healthcare information technology.
Mr. Lorsch has received numerous honors and awards, including D.A.R.E. America’s “Future of America Award”; the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s “Humanitarian of the Year Award”; and the Starlight Children’s Foundation’s “Golden Wish Award.” He most recently received the 2009 Humanitarian Award from the charitable organizations Therapeutic Living Centers for the Blind and Love Across the Ocean.
For his public spirit, Mr. Lorsch was awarded the prestigious “C” Flag Private Sector Initiative from the White House during the Reagan Administration for his work in raising millions of dollars for financing state and local earthquake preparedness education. His efforts for the cause have also earned him awards from the City and County of Los Angeles, the State of California and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Mr. Lorsch has been an arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association and a member of the James Brady Presidential Foundation. He has been a featured speaker on personal health records and telecommunications at forums nationwide, including at MIT, and has been highlighted in hundreds of national and international newspapers and magazines in addition to making numerous television appearances. Mr. Lorsch’s marketing acumen and the role he played in the launch campaign for Microsoft Windows is acknowledged in the book “Barbarians Led by Bill Gates: Microsoft from the Inside.” His career of combining entrepreneurship and philanthropy is the focal point of one of the seven keys to success in the 2007 book, “The Millionaire Zone,” authored by ABC Radio Host Jennifer Openshaw, and his entrepreneurial spirit was also profiled in “The Engine of America,” written by Hector V. Barreto, former head of the U.S. Small Business Administration. Mr. Lorsch resides in Bel-Air, California with his wife, actress-writer-producer Kira Reed Lorsch.

New MMRF Blog May 20th
When you resist you are stuck with what you have……….
Posted by MyMedicalRecords | Filed under Personal Health
One of the lines that guide my day-to-day decision-making is “What you resist you are stuck with”. To me that means that when I resist change I am stuck with what I have. Over the past several days many of those reading this blog are stuck, and apparently want to stay stuck with what they have because they will not step “out of the box” and take advantage of the unique opportunity that have been and will continue to be placed in front of them. In this case I am specifically referring to MMR.
Several times over the past few months many of you have seen (and participated in) an exciting run up in MMRF share prices. In fact I am proud of the fact that MyMedicalRecords.com in just 15 months of operating as a public company has accomplished what it has. However in order to be successful and achieve greatness you cannot stand on the sidelines and watch, or pick up your chips because you believe something to good to be true, or even in some cases destroy the game because you have a need to be right.
On April 11 Business week quoted an article in Health Daily News which reminded us that “We are in the early days of electronic health record adoption” and suggesting again that there is still a long way to go in this very exciting trillion dollar market of health IT.
This is the place where MMR lives on a day-to-day basis. Therefore it baffles me as to why a very few who are scared to step out of the box and go to the next level seem to have the need to stay “Stuck where they are”.
As a person who has already created a one billion dollar company from a five thousand dollar investment and hundreds of millions of dollars of wealth for many, I recognize the barriers that are placed in front of me when they rear their ugly head. It is sometimes very difficult to break through those barriers which are erected by others who won’t step out of the box because of fear, or even worse the need to be right. Nothing has changed since the letter the Company published to shareholders this last Monday.
Many of you have speculated that I am full of surprises. And I can assure you I am. However I will not publish “surprises” until they are “signed, sealed and delivered”. MMR appreciates your enthusiasm and support of the Company and we appreciate your willingness to step out of the box and believe in us whether you are a user, customer, employee, shareholder or friend.
I need to sign off and go back to work now. I am working on the creation of a 2nd billion-dollar company. However, because I do not want to be stuck with what I already have, this morning I will convert another $200,000 of MMR debt due The RHL Group into equity which will add another million plus shares to my existing 60 million plus share holdings. The Form 4 will be filed today.
Last, to those of you who contact me and ask what’s happening to the company’s stock price I wish I could say I knew. However, the only thing I really know is that the opportunities ahead are still in front of us and every day the landscape gets more exciting. I appreciate all of you for your friendship and support so the best thing that I can do is to get to work and make things happen by stepping way “out of the box”.

MMRF BLOG UPDATE May 12th
“The More you give to the universe the more you get back”…………Robert H. Lorsch (over and over again).
May 12th, 2010 Since the early days of my childhood I have been blessed to have a string of mentors who have shared philosophy’s and ideas that stuck. One of these is these ideas is the concept more you give out to the universe the more you get back. Meaning that investment in making a difference correlates to return financial and otherwise. In my case I took that lesson seriously and it appears to have worked.
Having given many tens of millions of dollars in gifts to non profits and others my return has come in the form of a relationship with a remarkable woman in Kira and a lifestyle that gives me the freedom to continue giving back in everything I do particularly with MMR Information Systems (soon to be MMR Global).
As the world pushes through the European financial crisis to bring sanity and stability into the markets I am reminded of how our Companies products and services contribute to a stronger worldwide economy while allowing me to spend my days “Giving Back”. That’s because healthcare represents upwards of a trillion dollars in annualized expenditures on a worldwide basis. As a result there will continue to be demand for easy to use tools that help reduce medical costs. I am proud to be CEO of a global company that is in the business of helping reduce and manage these medical costs while at the same time potentially saving lives.
When I look at a business opportunities I look for the social component of what a company does to give back to the universe. How does that company contribute in a way that can change the planet and save lives. Dendreon Corporation is a great example of my belief system at work. Put passion behind saving lives and look at the results that can be achieved.
In this case just last week management and shareholders were rewarded with billions of dollars In returns for focusing on a scientific breakthroughs that will change the world for prostate cancer patients while revolutionizing cancer research and the science of immunotherapy. Dendreon’s drug Provenge is made from cells using a patient’s own immune system. Provenge therefore cannot be warehoused like many other drugs and requires specialized manufacturing facilities.
In recent announcements by MMR Information Systems our Company disclosed that it has learned that its pre-merger Favid Vaccine trials contained proprietary patents and technologies that could possibly determine the possibility of predicting which lymphoma patients vaccinated with a customized product made from their own tumor cells could conceivably mount a productive immune response against their own tumor.
As a result without knowing that Provenge would be approved MMR has been allocating capital and resources to do what it can resurrect data and patents from pre-merger Favrille trials that otherwise might have gone abandoned.Now that the FDA has a approved the first customized vaccine we may see proof of my theory of “Giving Back” at work for the benefit of MMR.
When I get up in the morning I get to start my day with a job that empowers me to help people by giving them tools to help manage and afford better health care and save to by helping save a life of one of our users, their family members or pets. And now I may even have an opportunity to “Give Back” in ways I would have never thought possible, specifically in the fight against cancer by enabling science to take advantage of our companies assets.
It’s time for a one hour yoga class so I can clear my mind and go to the office to continue to “Give Back” for the benefit of all who will read this blog, our shareholders, users and my personal friends.

MMR Information Systems, Inc. Taps Into Trillion Dollar Latino Market
WASHINGTON, DC, May 06, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Robert H. Lorsch,Chairman and CEO of MMR Information Systems, Inc. (MMRF) (MMR)
Click for Detail, along with Hector V. Barreto, Chairman of The
Latino Coalition and former Administrator of the U.S. Small Business
Administration, introduced Kodak as a new sponsor of The Latino Coalition (TLC)
at its annual Economic Summit for Hispanic entrepreneurs that was held May 4-5 at
the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington, D.C. In introducing Flavio Luiz Gomes,
General Manager and Vice President, Latin America, and Inkjet Systems, Americas
at Eastman Kodak Company, Lorsch stated that Kodak and MMR will work together to
introduce MMRPro, which includes Kodak's document imaging solutions, to physician
groups and hospitals serving the Latino community. Also attending from Kodak was
Brian K. Bagan, Director, Business Development, United States and Canada,
Document Imaging, Kodak's Business Solutions and Services Group. MMR has been
supporting The Latino Coalition for three years and in addition to Kodak shared
sponsorship at this year's event with American Airlines, AT&T, HP, Intuit,
MasterCard, Pfizer, Verizon and others to support Latino entrepreneurs seeking
expanded business opportunities through contracts with the Federal Government and
Fortune 500 companies.
Among the elected officials and political dignitaries who participated alongside
national business leaders at the two-day Summit were Newt Gingrich, former
Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Karen Mills, Administrator of the
U.S. Small Business Administration; Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas), Senator Robert
Menendez (D-New Jersey), and Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska); and Congress
members Eric Cantor (R-Virginia), Mike Pence (R-Indiana), Pete Sessions
(R-Texas), and Xavier Becerra (D-California). In remarks at a general session on
Corporate Governance, Hector Barreto reminded the audience that the Latino
community represents an estimated 50 million consumers with as much as one
trillion dollars in annual purchasing power.
Newt Gingrich, who founded the Center for Health Transformation after serving as
House Speaker, keynoted the opening session. Immediately prior to the session,
Hector Barreto, who is also a member of the Board of Directors of MMR, and Bob
Lorsch spent time with Gingrich updating him on the progress of MMR since he was
last introduced to it two years ago. As a recognized expert in healthcare,
Gingrich is interested in seeing that all Americans have access to relevant and
valuable tools such as a personal health record to improve care and lower costs.
According to Lorsch, "The Company looks forward to working with Mr. Gingrich,
Coalition Sponsors, and the House and Senate leaders who attended the Summit by
demonstrating the ways MMR's products and services can empower patients to better
manage their health, resulting in greater cost efficiencies and better outcomes."
"As a result of our relationship with MyMedicalRecords, we have the good fortune
of welcoming Kodak as a Latino Coalition sponsor," said Barreto. "Kodak has
created innovative document imaging solutions that along with MMR can help
transform healthcare with secure, easy-to-use and bilingual professional and
personal health record products for physicians and patients across the country."
Barreto, who is also Chairman of the Board of Trustees of AltaMed, a Federally
Qualified Community Health Center which has been granted stimulus funds under
HITECH by the Department of Health and Human Services, continued, "I would
encourage physician groups and healthcare facilities that serve the Latino
community, such as AltaMed, to utilize personal health record services to reduce
costs and provide a more efficient standard of care."
"MMR's easy-to-use and ready-to-use healthcare products give Latino entrepreneurs
a valuable tool for both motivating and enabling their employees to live
healthier lives and therefore better control healthcare costs," added Lorsch. "We
look forward to working further with The Latino Coalition to provide MMRPro to
healthcare facilities and the MyMedicalRecords PHR to employers as a benefit for
their employees."

Thursday May 6th ..Bob Lorsch "Just finished another day in Washington DC.. Finally after 3 weeks on the road I go home to Los Angeles tomorrow. Spending this Friday in the office will be like a vacation day.
Today started with Hector Barreto and I updating Newt Gingrich on http://www.mymedicalrecords.com and my mantra of communicating the benefits of an entry level EMR for the small group medical practice. Particularly when tethered to pre-populated Personal Health Record (PHR). Newt's organization, The Center for Health Transformation is a very important policy think tank which continues to express interest in MMR's PHR products and services."

David_Blumenthal Why He Matters
http://www.whorunsgov.com/Profiles/David_Blumenthal
Blumenthal has been tasked with bringing America's health records into the 21st century.
While most doctors still rely on paper and pen to record patients' medical information, Blumenthal and the Obama team envision a system of national electronic medical records. Doctors would add new information to a patient's online file at each visit, creating an easily-accessible and complete medical history.
Transitioning to electronic medical records has long been the focus of Blumenthal's work, and as a 2008 Obama campaign adviser, he made the issue a key part of the then-candidate's plan. With degrees in both medicine and public policy, Blumenthal has spent years working on health policy as a Capitol Hill staffer, a Harvard researcher and at foundations dedicated to providing affordable health care.
But while Blumenthal argues an electronic system would save money in the long run, the transition looks to be very expensive for doctors and hospitals. Obama's February 2009 economic stimulus bill included subsidies meant to incentivize doctors' offices to make the switch, as well as money to create the position of national coordinator for health information technology in the Health and Human Services Department. Obama named Blumenthal to that position in March 2009.Goldstein, Jacob, "U.S. Hospitals Slow to Adapt to E-records," The Wall Street Journal, March 26, 2009 (1)

Unlike other stocks MMRF seems to be running up on Fundamentals
Mosts stocks run up on Earnings or anticipation of earnings or News Events or releases of certain findings
MMRF just seems to me running up on its core value as the news that has been released thus far does not have a $Dollar Value tagged to it yet
So Imagine when we get Real News or learn of real dollar values behind the deals signed thus far
Appears we have picked the right horse !!
Thanks Bob for your Leadership
Have Fun today everyone ...

Biden to Announce $220 Million in Health-Technology Grants
Share Business ExchangeTwitterFacebook| Email | Print | A A A By Nicholas Johnston
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=email_en&sid=a3EU8Sz68nKc
May 4 (Bloomberg) -- The Obama administration plans to announce today the selection of 15 communities that will share in $220 million worth of grants for pilot projects to test health-care information technology.
The money comes from the economic stimulus legislation passed last year and is intended to encourage development and use of systems to connect doctors, hospitals and patients, according to a White House official speaking on the condition of anonymity before the announcement.
