Q & A: Medicaid and Deference to Treating Providers
By: Sarah Somers
Medicaid and Deference to Treating Providers
Produced by Sarah Somers
National Health Law Program1
Q. My twelve year-old client?s doctor requested coverage for twelve
hours per day of private duty nursing. The state Medicaid agency
denied the request, stating that twelve hours was too expensive
and that coverage would only be authorized for six hours per day.
The state?s attorney handling the case told me that the state has
the ultimate say on medical necessity and can veto the decision of
the treating provider. Is this correct?
A. No. State Medicaid agencies should give deference to the treating
providers? decisions. This is particularly true if the beneficiary is
under 21. The agencies do, however, retain control in other ways,
including the right to implement utilization review procedures and
requirements governing participating providers.
The role of the treating provider in determining necessity for services
Congress intended that the treating physician play a central role in
determining utilization of health services in the Medicaid program and that the
physician should decide which Medicaid services are appropriate for an
individual and in what amount. See S. Rep. 89-404 (1965), reprinted in 1965
U.S.C.C.A.N. 1943, 1986. This is particularly true in the context of Medicaid?s
Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) requirements,
where the statute requires coverage of services necessary ?to correct or
ameliorate? a child?s health condition. 42 U.S.C. § 1396d(r)(5).
Numerous court decisions have recognized this principle and can provide
support for advocates when challenging state Medicaid agency denials of
recommended services under EPSDT:
? Rosie D. v. Romney, 410 F. Supp. 2d 18, 26 (D. Mass. 2006)
(holding that ?if a licensed clinician finds a particular service to be
medically necessary to help a child improve his or her functional
level, this service must be paid for by a state's Medicaid plan
pursuant to the EPSDT mandate?);
? Collins v. Hamilton, 349 F.3d 371 (7th Cir. 2003) (holding that a
state?s discretion to exclude services that have been deemed
medically necessary under EPSDT by a treating provider has been
?circumscribed by the express mandate of the statute?);
? Pediatric Specialty Care, Inc. v. Ark. Dep?t of Human Servs., 293
F.3d 472 (8th Cir. 2002) (reminding the state that it has a duty to
?arrange for corrective treatments prescribed by physicians?);
? S.D. v. Hood, 2002 WL 31741240 at *7 (E.D. La. Dec. 5, 2002),
aff?d, 391 F.3d 581 (5th Cir. 2004) (rejecting agency decision to
deny Medicaid coverage where the evidence supporting this
conclusion was offered by a doctor who had never examined the
patient and who did not have the same qualifications as the
patient?s treating experts);
? Urban v. Meconi, 930 A.2d 860, 865 (Del. S. Ct. 2007) (holding that
the administrative decision-maker must give ??substantial weight? to
the opinions of treating physicians; ? generally should give less
probative weight to the opinion of a physician who has never
examined the patient; ? and should not substitute its expertise for
the competent medical evidence.?) (citations omitted);
? Hummel v. Ohio Dep?t of Job & Fam. Services, 844 N.E.2d 360,
364 (Ohio App. 2005) (affirming lower court reversal of agency
decision denying Medicaid coverage, stating that the ?medical
opinion and diagnosis of a patient?s treating physician are entitled
to substantial deference in deciding whether to grant medical
benefits?);
? Emily Q v. Bonta, 208 F. Supp. 2d 1078 (C.D. Cal. 2001) (holding
that therapeutic behavioral services must be provided when
medically necessary and that an authorized practitioner of the
healing arts must make that determination).
A state has significantly more leeway to define medical necessity for
services for adults and can impose limits on coverage of services. However, the
principle of deference to the treating provider has been recognized in cases
involving services for adults as well. ?The treating physician has had a greater
opportunity to examine and observe the patient. Further, as a result of his duty
to cure the patient, the treating physician is generally more familiar with the
patient?s condition than are other physicians.? Connor v. Rudolph, No. 01-A-01-
9601-CH-00046, 1996 WL 591176, *5 (Tenn. App. Oct. 11, 1996) (reversing
decision denying Medicaid benefits). According to the Eighth Circuit Court of
Appeals, ?The Medicaid statute and regulatory scheme create a presumption in
favor of the medical judgment of the attending physician in determining the
medical necessity of treatment.? Weaver v. Reagan, 886 F.2d 194, 200 (8th Cir.
1989). Requiring coverage of the requested drug therapy, the Court further
stated that ?the decision of whether or not certain treatment or a particular type of
surgery is ?medically necessary? rests with the individual recipient?s physician and
not with clerical personnel or government officials.? Id. at 199-200 (citations
omitted). Other useful cases include:
? Holman v. Ohio Dep?t of Human Services, 757 N.E.2d 382, 388-89
(Ct. App. 2001) (reversing agency?s denial of coverage noting ?it is
well settled that treating physicians? opinions based on objective
evidence should be accorded significant weight ? and, if the
opinion is uncontradicted, complete deference must be given to
such opinions and diagnoses?) (citations omitted);
? A.M.L. v. Dep?t of Health, 863 P.2d 44, 47-48 (Utah App. 1993)
(reversing administrative decision based on agency-hired physician
rather than the opinion of the treating physician).
Cases concerning programs other than Medicaid can also be useful. See
generally Williams v. Astrue, No. 07-1054, 2007 WL 4239462, *3 (D. Kan. Oct..
30 2007) (?[T]he opinion of an agency physician who has never seen the
claimant is entitled to the least weight of all. ?. A treating physician?s opinion
about the nature and severity of the claimant?s impairments should be given
controlling weight by the Commissioner if well supported by clinical and
laboratory diagnostic techniques and if it is not inconsistent with other substantial
evidence in the record.?); see generally Lewis v. Callahan, 125 F.3d 1436 (11th
Cir. 1997) (holding that, in social security and SSI disability determinations, the
opinion of the treating physician must be given substantial weight unless ?good
cause? is shown); Olmstead v. L.C. ex rel. Zimring, 527 U.S. 581, 608 (1999)
(Kennedy, J., concurring) (stating that ?[t]he opinion of a responsible treating
physician in determining the appropriate conditions for treatment ought to be
given the greatest of deference.?)
Control by state agency
Some written guidance from the federal Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS), which administers the Medicaid program,2 may
appear at odds with this principle. Letters to state officials have stated that, in
general, the definition and determination of medical necessity is ultimately up to
the state. See, e.g., Letter from Christine Nye to Regional Administrator, Region
VIII (Oct. 3, 1991) (stating that the state defines medical necessity, even under
EPSDT, and need not cover services that are not necessary). States may use
such guidance to argue that they can override a treating provider?s determination
that a service is necessary. When determining necessity for services for a
beneficiary under age 21, however, they must conform to the statutory definition
of necessity in the EPSDT statute (?necessary to correct or ameliorate?) and
cannot impose cost limits through the guise of medical necessity.
State agency personnel may argue that deference to the treating provider
would mean that they would relinquish control over their Medicaid programs.
This is not true, because there are many safeguards in place. First, to be
covered under EPSDT, services must fall within one of the categories listed in 42
U.S.C. § 1396d(a). Moreover, CMS has made it clear that states retain
discretion to define the amount, duration, and scope of medically necessary
treatment covered by EPSDT in several specified ways:
? States do not have to cover treatment that is unsafe or
experimental. See, e.g., U.S. Dep?t of Health & Human Servs.,
CMS State Medicaid Manual § 5122; Letter from Rozann Abato,
Acting Director Medicaid Bureau, to State Medicaid Directors (May
26, 1993) (stating that services are not covered if they are unsafe
or experimental or not generally recognized as accepted
treatment);3
? States may also choose to cover a service in the most economic
mode, as long as it is ?similarly efficacious? to alternative services,
does not delay services and does not violate other federal laws
such as the Americans with Disabilities Act. Id. See also, e.g.,
Dep?t of Health & Human Servs., Dear State Medicaid Director,
Attachment 4-B (Jan. 10, 2001). States may also exclude items
that are not medical in nature. See, e.g., May 26, 1993 Letter from
Rozann Abato, id.;
? States may require prior authorization for treatment services, so
long as it does not delay delivery of care and is consistent with the
?preventive thrust? of EPSDT. H.R. Rep. No. 101-247 at 399,
reprinted in 1989 U.S.C.C.A.N. 1906, 2125;
? States may place tentative limits on services, as long as there is a
process to allow coverage beyond the limit for a child. May 26,
1993 Letter from Rozann Abato, id.
It is important to remember, however, that states are not permitted to deny
medically necessary treatment under EPSDT solely based on cost or the
existence of hard caps on services for adults. See, e.g., U.S. Dep?t of Health &
Human Servs., HCFA, Transmittal Notice MCD-90-90 (Region IV) (Sept. 18,
1990) (stating that, under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989, limits
on quantity or cost of services are precluded in EPSDT if they prevent the
provision of medically necessary services); Memorandum from Christine Nye,
HCFA Medicaid Director, to Regional VIII Administrator, HCFA (1991) (stating
that Montana?s limits on the number of hours of psychologist and physical
therapist services that could be covered for children under 21 were no longer
legal under the 1989 legislation if they resulted in excluding necessary services.)
In addition, in order to be certified for reimbursement by Medicaid,
providers must meet multiple requirements of state and federal law, as well as
many contractual ones. Accordingly, physicians who are eligible to receive
Medicaid reimbursement for providing services have already met numerous
requirements, many of which are imposed by the state itself. See, e.g., 42
U.S.C. §§ 1320a-7 (imposing civil monetary penalties for failure to comply with
certain Medicaid requirements); 1396a(a)(27) (establishing record-keeping
requirements); 42 C.F.R. §§ 447.1 ? 447.31, 447.46, 447.56 (2006)(requirements
related to eligibility for payments. Most of these requirements are intended to
regulate the quality of care and economic efficiency. See, e.g., 42 U.S.C. §
1396a(a)(30)(A) (requiring provider reimbursement rates to be ?consistent with
efficiency, economy and quality of care?). These requirements imposed on
Medicaid providers are safeguards to limit waste and ensure that only qualified
providers participate in Medicaid and only medically necessary care is covered.
A Case to Watch
The District Court for the Northern District of Georgia recently decided a
case on deference to the treating provider in EPSDT cases. In Moore v. Medows,
563 F. Supp. 2d 1364 (N.D. Ga.), the state Medicaid agency reduced coverage
of a child?s private duty nursing services from 94 hours per week to 84 hours per
week. The basis for the reduction was, in part, the cost of the care and the fact
that the child?s mother could not be present during the time that nurse was caring
for the child. The court granted summary judgment for the plaintiff, holding that
The state must provide for the amount of skilled nursing care which the
Plaintiff's treating physician deems necessary to correct or ameliorate her
condition. The Defendant may not deny or reduce the hours of skilled
nursing care that is medically necessary based upon cost or the lack of a
secondary caregiver.
Id. at 1357. The state has appealed the decision to the Eleventh Circuit Court of
Appeals. It has been briefed and should be scheduled for oral argument in the
next several months. Counsel for the plaintiff is the Georgia Advocacy Office, the
state P & A. NHeLP will keep advocates informed about developments in the
Advocacy Tips
Work with the treating provider to help them write the best possible
recommendation/prescription for coverage of services under EPSDT. They
should describe the individual?s condition, his or her need for the service, and
explain how the service will ?correct or ameliorate? the child?s condition.
If a service is denied as experimental, remember that a service is not
experimental simply because it?s rare. Discuss the service with the treating
provider, review medical literature about the condition, and determine whether
other states Medicaid programs or Medicare cover the procedure.
Even if the service denied is for an adult, the cases cited in this Q & A may
help convince the state agency to reverse a denial based purely on medical

Q: nginx stuck and setting CLOSE_WAIT when using worker_processes > 1 Everything works nicely if I have worker_processes=1, or I run one request at a time.
If I open a browser on a fresh nginx install and holds F5 down a couple of seconds, the sockets gets lingering as CLOSE_WAIT, and nginx wont do anything (other than stuffing more sockets in CLOSE_WAIT..)
The more workers I use, the sooner it gets stuck. Just one of the workers has listed any sockets though..
Any idea what might be causing this?

Onduparaka is a village in Ayivu County, Arua District. The soccer team Onduparaka FC got its name from this place and its official home ground - Greenlight Stadium can be found when you cut right from the main road some metres after the junction. Onduparaka is about a ten minute ride directly north from the Arua Hill Roundabout along Adumi Road which is a continuation of Arua Avenue. Ondu paraka in Lugbara language means 'sorghum stem'. A lot of sorghum used to be grown in Onduparaka and traded to the Democratic Republic of Congo, a few kilometres west.

Меморіал Корпусу морської піхоти США (інша назва — Меморіал Іводзіми) — один з найважливіших військових меморіалів Сполучених Штатів Америки. Розташований в передмісті Вашингтона в окрузі Арлінгтон, поблизу стін Арлінгтонського національного кладовища.

Меморіал присвячений всім військовослужбовцям Корпусу морської піхоти США, загиблим у військових конфліктах при захисті демократичних цінностей в інтересах країни, починаючи з 1775 року.

Дизайн масивних скульптур був виконаний скульптором Феліксом де Уелдоном на основі культової фотографії військового кореспондента Ассошіейтед Прес Джо Розенталя, зробленої під час битви за японський острів Іводзіма — «Встановлення прапора над Іводзімою».

Меморіал зображує п'ятьох морських піхотинців і одного матроса ВМС США, які підняли прапор на острові Іводзіма: сержанта Майкла Стренка, капрала Харлона Блоку, пересічних: Айра Хайза, Франкліна Сусли, Рене Ганьона і старшину 1 статті Джона Бредлі.

Історія
Робота над створенням меморіалу почалася в 1951 році. Висота бронзових скульптур склала 9,8 м, довжина флагштока 18 м.

Скульптури розташовуються на гранітному постаменті висотою 4,5 м, що має два написи:

 «В пам'ять про мужність воїнів Корпусів морської піхоти Сполучених Штатів, які віддали життя за свою країну з 10 листопада 1775» (In honor and memory of the men of the United States Marine Corps who have given their lives to their country since 10 November 1775).
 «Неймовірна Доблесть була їх загальним Гідністю» (Uncommon Valor Was a Common Virtue) — слова сказані адміралом Честером Німіцем перед бійцями на Іводзімі.

Розташування і дата кожного бою за участю Корпусу морської піхоти США написані по колу навколо основи меморіалу. Основа повністю виконана з граніту смоляного кольору Lönsboda — невеликого містечка і кар'єра в південній частині Швеції.

Меморіал був урочисто відкритий президентом Дуайтом Д. Ейзенхауером 10 листопада 1954 року, в день 179-ї річниці створення Корпусу морської піхоти.

У 1961 році президент Джон Ф. Кеннеді видав Проголошення № 3418, про те, що державний прапор США повинен бути вивішений на флагштоку меморіалу 24 години на добу. Меморіал Корпусу морської піхоти — одне з небагатьох громадських місць США, де діє це правило.

Морські піхотинці Вашингтонської бази морської піхоти використовують меморіал як майданчик для проведення щотижневого військового огляду «Параду на заході» (Sunset Parade). Тренувальний взвод бази представляє Корпус у всій красі, використовуючи при цьому бій барабанів і звуки сурм.

Подібні статуї
 Оригінальна гіпсова робоча модель пам'ятника в даний час знаходиться в Харлінгені (штат Техас), у приватній кадетській школі «Академія Корпусу морської піхоти». Академія є також місцем спочинку капрала Харлона Блоку, загиблого в бою на Іводзімі.
 Національний меморіал Іводзіма у Ньюїнгтон (штат Коннектикут) використовує подібну конструкцію пам'ятника і являє списки 6821 американських військовослужбовців, загиблих в бою.
 Схожі статуї знаходяться в парку двохсотріччя у Фолл-Рівер (штат Массачусетс) і в Кейп-Корале (штат Флорида).
 Варіант пам'ятника в ознаменування 50-річчя закінчення Другої світової війни стоїть в парку розваг Knoebels в Елісбурзі (штат Пенсільванія).
 Є також зменшені копії меморіалу на трьох базах морської піхоти США: в безпосередній близькості від воріт бази Куантіко (штаті Вірджинія), на парадному майданчику бази в Перріс-Айленді (штат Південна Кароліна) та біля головних воріт бази Кенее Бей (штат Гаваї)

Sandwich-grocery marriage: Mendocino Farms to open inside Whole Foods in O.C.
Mendocino Farms is known for its playful riffs on blue plate entrees like this Not So Fried Chicken sandwich. Whole Foods became a minority investor in Mendocino, which is growing its presence in California.
Founded in 2005 by husband-and-wife team Mario Del Pero and Ellen Chen, Mendocino Farms serves a variety of chef-driven sanddwiches and salads. The company, which has two Orange County locations, has received an undisclosed amount of capital from Whole Foods Market.

Whole Foods Market is tapping into the growing fast-casual sandwich sector with a minority investment in Los Angeles-based sandwich sensation, Mendocino Farms.
On Monday, the companies announced a partnership that would allow 11-unit Mendocino Farms to grow its presence in California. Known for its craft sandwiches made with fine dining ingredients, Mendocino Farms plans to have as many as 17 locations in California by the end of 2016.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Whole Foods' investment includes testing the addition of a Mendocino Farms inside some of its markets. The first Whole Foods store with a Mendocino Farms will be in Orange County, Mendocino founder Mario Del Pero said. He did not provide a specific location.
The second will likely open inside a Whole Food store in either Los Angeles or the Bay Area.
Founded in Los Angeles in 2005, Mendocino Farms embraces the "slow food" movement, where sandwiches and salads are made from premium ingredients supplied by local food artisans and eco-conscious growers. Sauces and dressings are scratch made.
The chef-driven sandwiches are playful riffs on classic regional dishes or blue plate specials. A meatloaf sandwich, for example, is made with Wagyu beef. One of its most popular sandwiches, a humble Vietnamese banh mi, is made with Kurobuta pork belly.
Del Pero said Mendocino's planet-friendly ethos aligns perfectly with Whole Foods, making the partnership a "win-win" for both companies. He and his wife, Ellen Chen, remain the majority stakeholder in Mendocino Farms. Catterton, a Connecticut private equity firm, also remains a key investor.
Whole Foods is expected to help Mendocino connect with the right sustainable suppliers as the company spends the next two years adding stores in Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego and Northern California.
"Being mentored by the Whole Foods team is a great opportunity for us as we scale our brand while trying to deepen our purpose, culture, and positive impact on the communities we serve," said Mendocino co-founder Ellen Chen.
In 2016, Mendocino plans to open five to six sandwich shops. That includes two stores inside Whole Foods Market. In Orange County, Whole Foods operates stores in Tustin, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and Laguna Niguel. New stores are coming to Irvine and Brea.
Mendocino opened its first Orange County sub shop in Costa Mesa in 2014. A second shop opened this year in Irvine, near UC Irvine. A third shop is coming next year to Village at La Floresta in Brea. Whole Foods also is slated to open at the new lifestyle center, which is expected to debut in early 2016.
The Mendocino-Whole Foods deal comes as the restaurant sector has become crowded with "better for you" sandwich players. The nation's top sandwich chains generated sales of $22.7 billion in 2014, up 1.7 percent from the year before, according to market research firm Technomic in Chicago.
Among the fastest growing chains in the nation: Jersey Mike's, Pot Belly, Which Wich, Firehouse Subs and Jimmy John's. Mendocino Farms is part of a group of boutique concepts trying to scale their chef-driven models. Locally, others include The Kroft, Sessions West Coast Deli and The Trough Sandwich Kitchen.
Del Pero said he welcomes the competition.
"All ships rise with high tides. Our guest ends up being the winner because we have to be better, and be more innovative."

LND integration to BtcpayServer is done. Easy way to run full Bitcoin + LND node and have merchant solution on top of it.
I'm eagerly awaiting the 3 lightning nodes to have their production releases. And this is of course a great piece of the puzzle for adoption.
They're pretty solid, but still beta.
Sure on label... but my direct coding experience with LND and CLightning has me saying "solid" because is it kinda like "Gmail beta".
Meaning, devs are holding that "beta" label mostly because they don't want to be under scrutiny for potential breaking changes + they want to see more real-world testing. If you think there will be huge changes between now and "production" release - well, you'll be disappointed.
LND and CLightning are pretty solid. The other one, not so much, avoid them.
There are plenty of Bitcoin full node implementations with production releases.
There are zero production ready lightning node implementations.
Edit: if you're going to downvote this, please provide a link to a production release of LN node software.
I think you mean lightning implamentations. Not nodes.
I would not expect any official production release from any of these any time soon, if ever. These are open source protocols. It's a continual work in progress.
It's up and working today. It has over $300k held on it with no security concerns so far.


The Friends of Van Cortlandt Park (FVCP) is pleased to announce the completion of a new entrance into Van Cortlandt Park at West 261st Street and Broadway. FVCP is indebted to Councilman Andrew Cohen for assisting with funding and many staff at the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks), particularly Commissioner Iris Rodriguez-Rosa, who oversaw the planning and implementation.
The new entrance shows that transformative improvements to the park do not need to be elaborate or expensive. There is an exceptional new Greeter Garden with seating; a path from the street; and (at the back of the lawn) a new trail leading into the park's extensive system of hiking and jogging trails. FVCP is helping to maintain the area through mulching, weeding, watering, lawn care (through a private landscape company) and trail maintenance. Volunteers are welcome! NYC Park's Natural Resources Group is also about to undertake an exceptional restoration of the forest flanking the lawn with invasive plant removal and native plantings. FVCP will remain committed to helping to maintain the area with private fundraising, staff time and volunteer hours. The work at West 261st Street complements other improvement projects FVCP is undertaking with private donations—the restoration and maintenance of the "Grand Central Stones" on the Putnam Trail and the creation of a historic landscape plan for the Van Cortlandt House Museum with improvements already taking place on the grounds.
West 261st Street is the smallest of several important capital projects underway in Van Cortlandt Park that are outlined in the Van Cortlandt Park Master Plan 2034—a comprehensive plan to upgrade the Park published in 2014. Projects nearing the "construction phase" include a new playground at Mosholu Avenue, grand new entrance at West 242nd Street, installation of a new spray shower at the Woodlawn Playground and creation of the Putnam Greenway which will connect the Park to Westchester County. Other important projects remain in planning or fundraising phases. They include the replacement of the Birding bridge on the John Kieran Trail; "daylighting" of Tibbetts Brook and wetlands restoration; a pedestrian bridge across the Major Deegan Expressway; and negotiations with CSX Railway to extend the daylighting of Tibbetts Brook south of the Park to the Harlem River. FVCP remains committed to supporting NYC Parks in completing planning and capital fundraising for each of these other projects.

Bangladesh recalls Mominul as Mosaddek replacement
Having initially been overlooked for selection, an eye infection for Mosaddek Hossain means Mominul Haque will feature for Bangladesh.

Mominul Haque has replaced Mosaddek Hossain in Bangladesh's 14-man squad for the first Test against Australia.
Opener Mominul was left out for the second Test against Sri Lanka and was initially overlooked for the team to face Australia in Mirpur from August 27.
However, an eye infection means Mosaddek will be unable to take part and Mominul has been selected in his place.
The 25-year-old notched two fifties in his last four five-day international appearances and boasts an impressive average of 47.
While the late change to the squad is far from ideal, Australia faces the prospect of going into the first Test without any match preparation.
Steve Smith's side was scheduled to play a warm-up in Fatullah, but flooding has led to concerns the fixture may not go ahead as planned.
That does not concern Peter Handscomb, though, who believes Australia will be ready for the first Test regardless of its schedule.
"I don't think we'd be going into that first Test cold, whether the tour match goes ahead or not," said Handscomb.
"We had a great preparation up in Darwin, we managed to play a three-day, intra-squad game there.
"I think everyone got what they needed out of it and we know obviously the BCB are doing everything they can to get the pitches up for us and whatever training we can get here, depending on the weather of course.
"I'm sure the boys will be fine and ready to go."

« Fetischwettbewerb – Zur reaktionären Haltung der Gewerkschaften in Zeiten der Krise
Vortrag am 04.06. Kommunismus oder Barbarei. Zur Notwendigkeit kommunistischer Kritik »
The failure of Syriza (and of the Left's illusions)
in In English
(Click here for German version.)
Syriza participated in the Greek elections of January 2015 as the "party of the radical left" and as such it became elected. Now, one month after taking office and after endless negotiations with the European Union, there is not a single point in which this party hasn't failed or hasn't betrayed its goals and promises. The debt cut, which Syriza initially demanded, had been officially changed into "refinancing", "payment extensions" etc. already in early February. On Friday, 20th January, Syriza's second key promise was also given up: the end of the Troika and the EU austerity dictates. In the negotiations, Syriza had conceded not to move back on any of the "reform measures" dictated by the EU and implemented by the previous government, and furthermore not to take any steps which might run contrary to the Troika. In the list of its own "reform measures", which Syriza had to submit to the EU on the 23.02.2015, the only remainder of its grandly announced social program is the handing out of food stamps.
Syriza's failure couldn't be more complete. No one is immune against the possibility of failure. Mistakes are made, situations are misjudged. But what is one to expect from Syriza now? First of all, that they admit their failure: out of honesty and liability towards all the people in Greece, which Syriza was to represent, and whose further impoverishment they are now to execute for an indefinite time. They could, after all, still make use of their option to withhold their approval to the EU measures, or they could simply step back. – But what do these new big men at the head of the state do instead? They bluntly report their obvious failure as a victory. On the 21.02.2015, just one day after their unconditional surrender, Tsipras actually had the impudence to declare: "Yesterday we have taken a decisive step. We leave the austerity measures, the bailout program and the Troika behind us." And this was meant to be the portrayal of an "agreement", on which even Schäuble commented that it would be difficult for Syriza "to explain that to its voters".
It is high time for a realistic evaluation of this "party of the radical left" and to get rid of all the "left-wing" illusions attached to it. The impudence, in which they lie to themselves, and to all those whose impoverishment they will now carry forward for the next years, shows that there is nothing left to expect of Syriza. This supposedly "radical left" had, from the very beginning, nothing to do with any actual social critique, with any critique of the necessary crisis and the absurdity of capitalist production – a production solely for profit, never for human needs. Syriza never wanted to talk about the irrationality of this capitalist system of profit production, which ruins people not because there is too little being produced, but because there is too much produced and the individual worker becomes thus superfluous and dispensable for capital. It never wanted to talk about all that which are silent preconditions of profit production's beautiful "rationality" in the Western centers: not about the patriarchal and sexist delegation of reproduction to women, not about the racist exclusions. Syriza's pseudo-Marxist finance minister Varoufakis never aimed at any refusal of the absurd constraints, which capitalism puts on human social life. The goal, from the very beginning was nothing but an alternative capitalist economic program: just like all parliamentary and democratic parties, Syriza had committed itself to the capitalist recovery, to business profits and the creation of "employment" in capitalist enterprises. The "alternative" was not about the question of what would be the goal, but only about the question how this was to be achieved: Syriza always understood and still understands itself as the advocate of an alternative economic ideology, which instead of "save costs and work more" has the alternative credo of "borrow, create more "employment" and work more" as its maxim. In both cases, the goal is as pointless as it is impossible to achieve.
It is clear that the "Keynesianist" economic program – named after the British economic "scientist" John Maynard Keynes and aiming at public spending by the state to support the economy – cannot work any more today. The current crisis is not caused by a lack of capital, but by an absolute abundance, an over-accumulation of capital: on the one hand, billions of Euro can't find a "profitable" investment opportunity, while on the other, capitalist industrial production is paralyzed by saturated markets, a surplus supply of commodities (indicated already by the low prime rate of interest for all the money that can't find any demand).
The intrinsic logic and necessity of the crisis thus can't be beaten by these seemingly "well-meaning" capitalist economic programs. What is necessary today and what is imminent to the logic of the crisis is the complete devaluation of the superfluous capital, the erasure of the unprofitable billions of Euros – a still pending erasure, which was only delayed, but not prevented after the economic crash of 2009. In the current situation, an additional public lending program, i.e. an increase of the superfluous capital, would in turn only increase the overproduction and underemployment. The crash is inevitable and with every "bailout package", with every "financial injection", its impact on the masses of people will only be more devastating.
This is not the right place for a complete exposition of crisis theory. It is nevertheless necessary to firmly grasp that even in case of a success in the negotiations with the EU, Syriza's program could not overcome the current logic of crisis, overproduction, underemployment and impoverishment, but would rather continue the downward spiral of mass poverty.
The fact that Syriza never even imagined a break-out from the capitalist-democratic coercive system is also obvious when it comes to the very way in which Syriza entered negotiation with the Troika and the EU governments. Syriza's "constructive" negotiation with the reigning institutions have nothing in common with the radical left. The initial, almost naive rumbling in the corridors of the EU could never hide the fact that Syriza joined the negotiations as an utterly normal bourgeois party, and thus accepted all facets of the system and its "rules of the game". It had thus accepted, that the life and survival of the people in Greece was dependent upon the premise that the interests of the different European capitalist factions – represented by the European finance ministers – were to be satisfied. It had thus accepted that even the hope for a relief of the social misery for the people in Greece was dependent upon the premise, that concessions to the bourgeois parties of Europe, representing again the interests of capital, were made. Walking the way of every social-democratic party, it was more important for Syriza to honor these bourgeois game rules, than to put its own social goals into practice.
Thus, Syriza at last had no choice but to also bury its "alternative" economic program – which was nothing but a poor relaunch of "Keynesianist" illusions – last week. On the next lower level of "compromise", this allegedly left-wing alternative now has accepted that cost saving is to be done – and again wants to falsely assert its "sovereignty" by deciding about the "how": instead of cost-cutting social welfare, the money shall be collected by fighting corruption, tax avoidance etc. This is an endless game, and it is plain to see that the needed billions will never be gathered that way (or in any other way that avoids a debt cut). It is thus as well plain to see, that the austerity politics will be continued. Syriza has failed.
Now, what lessons are to be learned from this self-abandonment and failure of Syriza?
Of all the different "left wing parties" which stand for election in the different European countries, Syriza was the most "left-wing" and most "radical". Its complete failure anticipates the failure of the German "Die Linke", of the Spanish "Podemos", of the "unconditional basic income", the "post-growth economy" and all other capitalist sham alternatives. Compared with Syriza, these parties don't even have the aspiration to touch any part of the economic order or policy. Just like Syriza, all of them are committed to the valorisation of capital, the system of property ownership and the interests arising from them.
Syrizas shameful failure shows the failure of parliamentarism and all left-wing state illusions: the bourgeois state is and will always remain an apparatus of domination: capitalist, racist, patriarchal, sexist. Whoever aspires to wield its power has to accept its necessities – first of all, the necessity that it remains solvent, i.e., that it can finance itself from successful capital accumulation and the successful exploitation of the workers. The commitment to the success of national capital valorization and accumulation – the only source of all state budgets and political power! –, means the rejection of any radical social change, which would always endanger this valorisation and the public tax income derived from it. In order to step out of this cycle, social movements need to free themselves from the bondage of "affordability" and show that all the goods needed for social reproduction are already present or can be produced with the present production facilities. The barrier to their production – and thus to the fulfillment of basic human needs – is only a relative one, namely that of capitalist profitability.
The mechanism of Syriza's betrayal of its own goals and of the people in Greece is itself part of the "beautiful system" of representative democratic capitalism. Once elected, the new "big men" Tsipras and Varoufakis are formally no longer bound to the well-being of their voters, but to the functioning of the capitalist state. Their new "partners" are the reigning elites within the EU, NATO etc. The ballot box is not the usage of the power of the individual, but its abdication.
The EU's enforcing of Syriza's unconditional surrender shows itself the weakness of the capialist-democratic domination. The possibility of resolving the conflict within the system, the transformation of all critique into a mere alternative within the system, reaches its own limits during the crisis. The system thereby shows its own limits and instability: whoever wants to stop the mounting impoverishment of the people, whoever wants any social improvement, can no longer expect any results from delegating it to parlamentarians, no matter what "radical" image they portray of themselves.
So what is the left to do now? (I.e., the radical left movement, not the German or other left-wing parties.) – It must finally start to take its social destiny into its own hand. It has to fundamentally reject any notion of handing over its goals to these "big men" and to watch their success or failure just like a soccer game on TV. In Greece, it could be advantageous to exploit the current confusion of the Greek democratic reigning elite: it still hasn't accepted its role as bloodhound of the European and Greece bourgeoisie, it still isn't determined to quell any protests. Now would be the time for more appropriations, more factory occupations, more squatting, and a decisive advance against the fascists of "Golden Dawn" at all levels. This offensive practice is ever more urgent, since the current Greek confusion might be over in a couple of month.
And the radical left in Germany? – It is far away from contributing anything that might be of direct support for the people in Greece. Instead of absorbing itself now in an immanent and merely symbolic pseudo-practice or putting its hope in another relaunch of supposedly "revolutionary" upheaval in the peripheral regions, it should stand up to its historic responsibilty as the left and strive for an education and explanation of the current conditions: now is the time not to keep the knowledge about the inner workings and tendencies of capitalist society to oneself, but to offensively and publicly confront and denounce the reigning bourgeois and democratic interpretations of the crisis and of capitalist society in general. Here and now. This is the only way in which the German left may gain strength, in order to become capable of social intervention.
We are now in an epoch, in which every person in the radical left needs to ask herself, what she or he has contributed in our times, in which everything was dependent on the fact that those who know the workings of capitalist society do no longer keep it to themselves, but wield it against the reigning system and its self-interpretation. If the silence of the radical left isn't overcome now, the left will be confined to only lamenting and philosophizing on the social conditions for yet another generation.

As Germany attempted to rearm in the 1930s in the lead-up to WWII, the military leadership relied heavily on the Pz.Kpfw.I. Some 1,493 examples of all types were built and these light tanks served in early campaigns even though they were supposed to be just training platforms. Mass production of the Ausf.A commenced in 1934, while the improved Ausf.B with a different engine appeared in August 1935. The Ausf.B was lengthened and it had five road wheels per side. The Panzer I was thinly armored with just 13mm steel at its thickest point. It operated with a crew of two – the commander/gunner and driver. An unusual version of this small tank was the Abwurfvorrichtung, literally a Demolition Charge Layer. These modified tanks were typically found in the panzer-pionier-bataillon of panzer divisions in 1940 in time for the campaign in Western Europe. The conversion comprised a device mounted on the rear deck that could lower a 50kg explosive charge onto or against a field fortification before it was then detonated.
Dragon is offering a fine 1/35 scale Smart Kit of a Panzer I Abwurfvorrichtung. This kit utilizes high-quality components from previous Pz.Kpfw.I Ausf.B kits, and mixes them with a range of brand new elements specifically produced for the Demolition Charge Layer. The kit employs multimedia materials such as plastic and metal cables in order to recreate this exact variant. It's convenient too - the track links may be tiny but they're perfectly produced via Magic Tracks with no need for time-consuming cleanup. The Abwurfvorrichtung may seem like an insignificant or unusual subject for a kit, and surely modelers never dreamt they'd see one produced by a mainstream kit manufacturer. However, Dragon always seeks to surprise and satisfy modelers, and this kit does exactly that!

Recommendation: for all light armor, armored engineer and German armor fans
F I R S T L O O K
When armored vehicles first appeared in WW I it did not take the engineers long to realize these vehicles had a lot of advantages in carrying out tasks which would otherwise place them at risk. While few experiments were carried out during the war, in the postwar period some experiments were conducted.
Most countries came to the conclusion that a tank could be used to place a charge next to an obstacle that was covered by enemy fire, and so experiments concentrated on a way to get the charge next to the objective. This vehicle was among the first created by the Germans to do this and was used during WWII for laying explosive charges. The idea was that the tank, in this case the little Panzer I, would approach the objective, turn around, drop its charge next to the objective, drive off, and then remotely detonate the explosives to flatten the objective. Two versions were developed, one with a long arm holding the case with the explosive charge and one with a "ski jump" that simply let it slide off the rear of the tank. Up to 10 of these devices were fitted to tanks assigned to the 3rd company of the armored Pioneer engineer battalion of panzer divisions. (There is no information apparently on how many were converted.)
But the Panzer I was not the most reliable vehicle to use for this as it was thinly armored and unless given plenty of cover and supporting attacks, it was easily knocked out before it could place its charge. The Soviets preferred vehicles like the KV-2 with a 152mm howitzer and the British the Churchill AVRE for the same purpose, as both had thick armor and could flatten the objective with either a shell in the case of the former or a "dustbin" charge from the latter's mortar.
DML has now offered a kit of the first variant of this interesting concept and based it on an upgraded version of their Panzer I Ausf. B kit from 2004. The kit has had any of its common parts with the Ausf. A replaced by sprues from the later (and better) A kits as well as one new sprue with all of the charge laying device components.
This kit comes with the complete set of clear styrene vision blocks and block frames, which are used to provide the basis for the vision port mounts and also the locks for opening the external vision ports.
But as this is a typical "mix and match" kit with sprues from previous kits, the modeler must pay attention to the directions for which components go with this model. (There are three different machine gun mounts for the turret as an example.) Alas, the directions are confusing and leave some bits out, such as the MB1 parts which are the brass stiffener rings for the road wheels.
All of the previous kit options on exhausts, hatches and view port covers have been retained. As before, the kit includes 216 single track links, which are not going to be popular with some modelers as they are very, very small – each one is about 3 mm x 7 mm. At least this kit uses the improved "Magic Track" set so you don't have to remove the links from sprues as with the original B kits.
The charge laying container comes with separate lids and a possible diorama option would be showing engineers packing it with explosive charges.
Technical advice came from Tom Cockle and Gary Edmundson.
Two different finishing options are offered: 1st Panzer Division, 1940 (panzer gray with white crosses and markings), and Unidentified Unit 1940 (panzer grey, white crosses and white 323). A small sheet of Cartograf decals is incldued.
Again, this is an interesting version of a vehicle which did see service (hence not a cyber-hobby.com effort).
