A discussion forum on Weil's points showed broad alignment, with the one caveat, expressed by naturopathic physicians, that Weil does not appear to be actively promoting the potential contributions to improved health from distinctly-licensed practitioners of natural health care. Weil's call was made as part of the promotional effort for his new book Why Our Health Matters: A Vision of Medicine That Can Transform Our Future.
Comment: Since winning its protracted anti-trust lawsuit against the American Medical Association in the late 1980s, the chiropractic profession has blazed multiple paths that have created opportunities for other licensed complementary healthcare disciplines. This is another. Inclusion of a non-discrimination concept in any health reform legislation would be a huge win for many professions - including the other licensed "CAM" fields.
The September 9, 2009 issue of Academic Medicine, the publication of the American Assiociation of Medical Colleges, includes an article by long-time anti-CAM activist Donald Marcus, MD entitled "An Evaluation of the Evidence in "Evidence-Based" Integrative Medicine Programs. Marcus et al reviewed the curricula at the 14 medical and nursing schools which received R 25 education grants from NIH NCCAM and concluded that "these curricula, which are used all over the country, fail to meet the generally accepted standards of evidence-based medicine." Further: "By tolerating this situation, health professions schools are not meeting their educational and ethical obligations to learners, patients, or society. Because integrative medicine programs have failed to uphold educational standards, medical and nursing schools need to assume responsibility for their oversight." Karen Lawson, MD and Mary Jo Kreitzer, PhD, RN, FAAN, two leaders of the program at the University of Minnesota, one of those challenged in the Marcus article, wrote a response to Academic Medicine which they shared with the Integrator. They argue that "unfortunately, [Marcus et al] failed to live up to their own standard of 'evidence based' by making multiple assumptions about the content and format of teaching integrative medicine in medical schools." Lawson and Kreitzer argue that the conclusions of Marcus, relative to the University of Minnesota program, are "erroneous and inflammatory."
Comment: Credit Lawson and Kreitzer for their quick, corrective response. Here is hoping Academic Medicine publishes it. The journal has been very response in the past, including publishing favorably on the R 25 programs. An October 2007 issue included nearly 50 pages written by investigators for these programs.
At its September 2009 national meeting, the American Massage Therapy Association chose to disband its Council of Schools (COS). A report in the Massage Today stated that the COS began as an independent entity in 1982. Then in 1999, the COS chose to formally become part of the AMTA, after which it's membership jumped from 55 to 480 schools. The September 2009 AMTA action followed a decision by some AMTA-COS members, at the last regular AMTA-COS meeting in January 2009, to seek independence as a separate not-for-profit corporation. The organization since formed, Alliance for Massage Therapy Education, is seeking "to become a nonprofit organization designed to serve as the independent voice and advocate for the entire education sector." The Alliance is "still in its developmental stages," according to the Massage Today article. In place of the COS, the AMTA is expected to create a committee of educators and schools which does not have the independence of the COS.
Comment: From the perspective of professional development, the disbanding of the COS looks like a step backward. The typical pattern of mature professions is for the professional association to help create an independent entity, often nursed into being by the professional body. Then again, massage/massage therapy lives in a limbo between being a trade (with an exceedingly low entry standard of just a couple hundred hours in some jurisdictions) and those promoting higher standards and a move for greater professionalism. In addition, there are over 1600 massage schools in the U.S. and Canada, and an estimated 12,000 teachers, according to an article on the founding of the Alliance. It will be interesting to see if the new void will be filled, by the emerging Alliance, or some other entity. For now, those looking for standards in massage therapy education should look for COMTA-accredited programs. Of the 1600 schools, just slightly over 100 are accredited by this specialized, federally-recognized agency.
The International Association of Yoga Therapists has announced the creation of the IAYT Education Standards Committee. The committee, composed of volunteers from IAYT's member schools, is charged with developing recommendations to the IAYT Board about entry level standards for the training of Yoga therapists and related issues. These recommendations are due in July 2011. In a note to members, IAYT executive director John Kepner writes: "This will not be easy. IAYT has wrestled with this for many years." IAYT is seeking to keep all interested members linked to what is expected to be a high-octane dialogue through it's members-only website. Kepner also notes that the organization is "getting valuable advice via our membership in the Academic Consortium for Complementary and Alternative Health Care as well as learning from the experiences of the Yoga Alliance and the current standards effort of the National Ayurvedic Medical Association." The formation of the committee is the latest step in a now 3-year IAYT process which included convening a set of now 47 member schools. More information is available via Kepner's article An Overview of IAYT's Efforts to Support the Development of Standards for the Training of Yoga Therapists.
The Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Kansas has announced that it is seeking applicants for its 3rd fellow at the University of Kansas Medical Center. This physician will start the fellowship in the Fall of 2010. A note to the Integrator from program director Jeanne Drisko, MD clarifies that the program is not training a professional for delivery of one or more individual modalities. Rather, the Kansas fellowship was established "to develop the practitioner who's knowledgeable enough about integrative care to be trained along side our faculty as a collaborative member of multidisciplinary patient care team," according to Drisko. The fellowship is a one-year intensive exploration of clinical, educational, and research activities related to integrative medicine. It is open to MDs, DOs and NDs who have satisfactorily completed their residency training. Information about the fellowship is here.
Comment: This is, as far as I am aware, the only such program which is open to candidates from all 3 of these physician-level disciplines.
NCCAM has announced $17.8 million of 2009 awards from the total of $32-million of American Recovery and Reconstruction Act (ARRA) stimulus funds the agency will dispense by 2010. The 2-year total represents 0.39% of the over $8-billion ARRA shot in the arm for NIH. The entire list of grants, investigators and amounts is listed here (thanks to the research of integrative practice publisher Taylor Walsh, who also shared the Twitter information in this issue). An analysis shows that over 40% of the projects funded continued the NCCAM pattern of prioritizing herb and dietary supplement-related research. All but two awards went to conventional academic medical centers; just a handful were connected principally with hospitals or, in one case, an integrative clinic (Marino Center). The two grants which went to researchers in complementary and alternative healthcare centers both focused on manipulation. One went to researchers Palmer College and the other to National University of Health Sciences. Of the total of 52, 6 were in mind-body, 4 related to acupuncture and Oriental medicine, 1 on massage, and there were 4 total focusing on manipulation. One study relates to insurance and payment-related issues.
Comment: It is not surprising, in the rushed context of the ARRA awards, that none appear to do what NCCAM most fails to fund, and in which it has the least expertise, but that practitioners most want: research on the kinds of whole person, multi-factorial protocols they routinely offer their patients. The practitioner communities, and those who educate them, must make this preference strongly known to NCCAM as that Center engages development of its next 5-year plan.
"The last decade as far as the general public and the alternative medicine community knew was devoted to the rigorous management of what might have been the most important pancreatic cancer study of the century. Instead what took place was a series of management failures by at the NIH both at NCI and NCCAM. Further, there were serious violations of the research protocol (including mismatching the arms of the study and then retrospectively re-staging them in an attempt to equalize them) and failure to insure human subject protections by the principal investigator; attempts at the NIH to brush the violations and mismanagement under the rug either through malfeasance or incompetence; and a government investigation that confirmed that Dr. Chabot failed two thirds of the time to provide adequate informed consent to patients. And finally, a failed and then successful attempt by Dr. Chabot to publish a fraudulent research paper."
Clay references Gonzalez' rebuttal about many aspects of his experience with engaging both the NIH and Columbia. Clay argues that "his explanation is important for every individual interested in alternative health research as well as cancer." She states that the "misinformation campaign on this trial is ongoing on the internet." In her view, a link on NCCAM's website should not have been provided "with no explanation, as if nothing irregular or inappropriate happened." Clay concludes: "I cannot help but think that had it been Dr. Gonzalez or any other 'alternative' doctor who had done the things that Dr. Chabot has done, that it would have been splashed across the front of the New York Times, but so far the staff at the NIH, NCI, NCCAM as well at Columbia University, and the media have simply shrugged their shoulders as if it is no big deal."
Comment: I don't know what to make of this story, honestly. I spoke with Gonzalez roughly a year ago, following an introduction from Clay. I ultimately decided I did not want to wade into an area that was both exceedingly complex and beyond my expertise. (I've focused on the preventive, outpatient, family medicine end of healthcare rather than integrative specialty treatment.) Nor was I interested in blasting NCCAM. With this article, I share Clay's perspective both out of a relationship with Clay that goes back nearly 15 years and because there does seem to be an ugly pattern which is evident in the NCCAM letters referenced below. The present context for exploration and pilot projects in integrative practices, as the story in Employers in this Round-up reminds us, remains full of prejudice and politics. Those wishing to explore additional and more detailed views on the Gonzalez/Chabot, including NCCAM's various presentations (see here and here and here), can go to the links supplied.
"When the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER) was founded in 1943 (known then as the Chiropractic Research Foundation), the phrase, 'chiropractic research' was almost oxymoronic. For decades, FCER provided invaluable non-partisan support for scientific inquiry. FCER fellowships helped launch the careers of research pioneers such as Scott Haldeman [DC, MD] and Reed Phillips [DC, PhD]. Despite rumblings of financial problems, the news that FCER had closed its doors was a shock, particularly coming right after FCER and the World Federation of Chiropractic co-hosted the International Conference on Chiropractic Research in Montreal. Attended by 1,000 chiropractors from 38 countries, this year's conference was an astounding success, and a testament to the strength of our international research community. The research effort to which FCER gave birth is alive and well. Thank you, FCER - you were there when we needed you most."
Comment: One place where those schooled into conventional healthcare disciplines simply cannot understand the trials and tribulations facing outsider disciplines is in creating funding for research. I significantly credit NCMIC and Foot Levelers and Standard Process and a few other firms for filling in where the NIH, caught in prejudices, refused to tread. The businesses related to chiropractic medicine brought not only cash but vision, as Whedon notes, by literally creating the researchers through the fellowship program. While NCCAM is stepping up - witness the 2 ARRA "stimulus" grants to DC schools in the article above - it still doesn't touch what is needed in terms of building the research culture and capacity of chiropractic, and for that matter all of the licensed CAM fields, to make up for decades of exclusion during which FCER carried the flag for chiropractic research.
The American Association for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (AAAOM) announced on September 18, 2009 that "an historic political step was achieved for Oriental medicine" over Labor Day. Participants at the 72nd National Foundation for Women Legislators (NFWL) conference passed a resolution that "declares parity for acupuncture as a health care profession." The NFWL also passed a second, related resolution, calling for the establishment of an herbal safety database. The licensed acupuncture profession created significant visibility at the conference. National AOM organizations, including the Council of Colleges of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, representing the roughly 60 accredited schools, the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and the Accrediting Council for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine were all present. A local AOM organization organized practitioners to give free treatments to the assembled legislators. NFWL president Robin Reed stated after the conference that "our legislators understand how important it is for acupuncturists to be included on the list of cost-saving solutions to meet the needs of their constituents."
Comment: Congratulations to the AAAOM and associated AOM organizations for the emerging unity in action, and for this result. Now, do we mark this advance up to you needle my back, I'll scratch yours.
The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) announced on October 2, 2009 that "after months of negotiations" with Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA),"doctors of chiropractic are once again designated as "physicians" in the BCBSA Federal Employee Plan (FEP)." The action is particularly important as the FEP is the plan that President Obama has identified as a template for future health care reform. ACA President Rick McMichael, DC states: "Physician status under this health plan is critical, and ACA action has assured that this status is once again recognized." BCBSA had changed the designation of doctors of chiropractic from "physicians" to "other health care providers" in January of 2009. The ACA, according to the release, "immediately recognized that the change could have a serious impact on whether DCs would be allowed to provide the physician-level services they are educated and licensed to perform—and could even influence whether chiropractic care would later be restricted or completely excluded in a national health care plan using the BCBS FEP as a model. ACA promptly contacted BCBS and requested that the designation be reversed. The ACA ticked off a list of restrictions in covered services that had already flowed from the January 2009 decision, which is now rescinded. The BCBSA FEP is the largest privately underwritten health insurance contract in the world, enrolling 4 million federal government employees, dependents and retirees. The ACA has 15,000 members.
Comment: One stakeholder's reform is another's deform. The ACA has worked hard with their allies to protect this treasured status. As noted, the "physician" language is indeed a treasure: it can open doors to payment that only goes to physician-level practitioners.
The board certified trainings for holistic nurses, formally recognized by the American Nurses Association, and administered through the American Holistic Nurses Certification Corporation are drawing increased interest from nurses and nursing students. In an interview in the monthly e-news of the American Holistic Nurses Association, AHNCC director Margaret Erickson spoke of a "tremendous increase" in interest in certification. Erickson typically refers individuals to the list of 14 ANCC-endorsed nursing programs. Erickson reportedly says that since the holistic board, developed by the AHNA was recognized by the ANA that holistic thinking has "infiltrated" hospitals and schools more readily. Erickson also indicated that many certified nurses have found that the additional training and breadth of practice via their certification in holistic nursing has led to salary boosts for many nurses.
Hurdle to massage in the workplace: despite cost-savings, dismissed as "fluff"
In a conversation in the hallway at the September 2009 one-day Seattle conference of Integrator sponsor the Institute for Health and Productivity Management, an employer acquaintance declined to publicly share information the employer's positive experience with an onsite program using deep-tissue massage, from licensed massage therapists, for musculoskeletal pain. "I'm afraid to share because I don't want to put the program at risk," explained the medical director. He noted that employees like the program "maybe too much" but at the same time the firm has seen workers' compensation costs go down since initiating the program. While he things these savings are linked and causal, he acknowledged that "it's hard to prove (return on investment)" because of confounding variables. But in these tough economic times, he said, he could imagine his operating superior "who doesn't like fluff" see a write-up on the massage-based program and "dismiss it before he read the first two paragraphs of any report." He imagined that his superior would focus on the productivity losses from workers getting massaged during paid time and use that as an excuse to gut the program. Thus, the director's strategy is to keep the program "under the radar" until workers' compensation savings are "down to a level that the program's value is undeniable."
Comment: Interesting to discover that sometimes rank prejudice is even more powerful than the almighty dollar. The road to optimal healthcare delivery is long and full of obstacles, friends. I think I will re-read the Odyssey with my 14 year old who has it in her 8th grade class this year.
The Fall 2009 issue of the American Acupuncturist includes a 7-page article entitled "Economic Evaluation in Acupuncture: Past and Future." The author team, led by New York acupuncturist Michael Jabbour, LAc, MS, searched the literature for all studies of acupuncture that examined costs. A wide range of studies of various types of outcomes were included. A key focus is on monetizing "quality of life years" gained. Table 2 in the paper includes a handy list of 18 cost studies and their findings, 14 of them since 2000 and none older than 1995. The authors recommend the inclusion of simple health-related quality of life type measurement (such as SF-36) in future clinical trials of AOM. They also note the importance of including "indirect costs and intangible costs" in economic studies. The authors ultimately conclude with a note that "acupuncture has the capacity to offer cost-effective treatment, even when compared to conventional medicine." Then they add the caveat: "However, a common language must be adopted, one the decision makers can understand."
An Integrator reader contacted economist and researcher Patricia Herman, ND, MS, PhD following publication of the recent Integrator article (Herman's Systematic Review Yields Top 9 Therapies/21 Conditions with High Quality Evidence of Cost Savings from CAM, August 27, 2009) with a query about inclusion criterion for the articles she is selecting. Particularly, he asked, why were the studies led by Richard Sarnat, MD which showed significant cost benefits from integrative practitioners as primary care providers not included? Herman shares that the Sarnat work "is an important and valuable study" but, because it did not include randomization, it didn't meet the criteria of "high quality' she used in the review. Herman further notes that the most intriguing take home from the studies she has been able to evaluate to date is that "over 50% show cost savings." She underscores that "this is beyond cost-effectiveness to cost-savings," adding that "this is not likely just an artifact of publication bias because there is no disincentive for publishing something as cost-effective vs cost saving." Herman notes that this is particularly interesting given "the typical conventional point of view that CAM increases cost."
The promotional materials for the "Distinguished Evening" that will kick off the publication of the report from the Institute of Medicine on the National Summit on Integrative Medicine and the Health of the Public provide some insight into the backing of the sponsor organization, the Bravewell Collaborative. The event, to be held at the Mandarin Oriental in Washington, DC on November 4, 2009 is pricey, with individual tickets at $750 and table sponsorship running $10,000 to $50,000. Then again, this is the organization that spent $445,000 to back the Summit and that has made a series of significant strategic investments that have propelled the launch of "integrative medicine" in the public mind and in medical schools. A September 2007 article on the last major Bravewell event analyzed changes from 2003-2007 in the organization's member philanthropists. The list for the 2009 event includes 16 individuals, representing 12 philanthropic families/organizations. New in 2009 are philanthropists Blythe Brendon, Ruth Westreich and Barry and Janet Lang. There is one new foundation, The Karan-Weiss Foundation, associated with fashion maven Donna Karan and her Urban Zen initiative. Absent in 2009 after having played a role in 2007 are the Marsh and Wood-Rill Foundation and the Globe Foundation.
Comment: The heart of the Bravewell funding collaborative has stayed entact for this l;ast decade of the organization's activities. Still, I find myself wondering what will be up next for the Bravewell Collaborative. Is this Summit with the IOM the pinnacle toward which these philanthropists, led by co-founders Penny George and Christy Mack, have been striving through through their distinguished set of accomplishments? Has the Bravewell done what it was created to accomplish? Certainly, healthcare is not yet transformed, their stated goal, and nor is medical education. But will this impatient, leading edge organization hang in there for the less glamorous, nuts and bolts hanging-in-there that now must follow the more visionary successes? Or alternatively, where might the Bravewell make its next, high visibility mark?
The biannually-awarded $250,000 Dr. Rogers Prize for contributions in complementary and integrative medicine in Canada was granted to Hal Gunn, MD of Vancouver and Badri (Bud) Rickhi, MD of Calgary. Gunn runs InspireHealth, an integrated oncology program, and Ricki established the Canadian Institute for Natural and Integrative Medicine (CINIM) and played a key role in establishing the Integrative Health Institute at Mount Royal College. Gunn's work carries forward ground-breaking integrative oncology work of Roger Hayward Rogers, MD a pioneering integrative physician in Canada after whom the award was named. Nancy Baxter, the Dr. Rogers' Prize coordinator, shared with the Integrator that the 2009 Dr. Rogers Prize events on September 25th, which included afternoon seminars with integrative practice luminaries, drew attendees from across Canada and from the United States. Says Baxter: "The first Dr. Rogers Prize Colloquium filled the 174-seat Wosk Centre for Dialogue with overflow attendees taking in the proceedings via 'live' closed circuit projection as [invited integrative health leaders] discussed the topics of evidence and integration."
"Recovery Act NIH research $$: @NCCAM share of $5 Bn announced today by Obama: $17.9 Mn or 0.36% | Americans spend $35 Bn/yr on alt health."
"Just created a TweepML list for Integrative Medicine | http://bit.ly/IM_Tweeps | nice to see NCCAM has arrived #hcmktg #hcsm."
Comment: Since Twittering began, I've had a handful of people suggest I participate. I made the sign of the cross - which in this case looked like the top of an old-technology telephone pole - refusing to engage another form of the new, life-speeding tools. As I just discovered, Walsh has created a "share group" for integrative medicine. It's at the address in his September 24, 2009 Tweet, and here.Walsh has begun a blog called Getting to Integrative Health and Medicine.
Editorial stance: The use of "chiropractor," "doctor of chiropractic" and "chiropractic physician"
Following the last issue, a chiropractor reader who sees himself as a physician and doctor of chiropractic medicine took me to task for using "naturopathic physician" for members of that profession while typically using "chiropractors" to designate members of his own. He referenced my September 3, 2009 article on the AMA Scope of Practice Campaign. He wondered if this "elevation" of NDs was favoritism, based on my prior work in the 1980s with that profession. I responded that the members of that discipline and the profession itself are unanimous in seeking the "physician" word to describe themselves. Witness the name of the professional association: American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. All of the state ND associations follow suit except the one, California, in which the state medical association prevailed in an effort to keep them from using "physician" during a licensing battle.
Meantime, the chiropractic or chiropractic medical field is mixed. The leading national association is called the American Chiropractic Association, not the American Association of Chiropractic Physicians. The academic organization is the Association of Chiropractic Colleges, while that in the naturopathic field asserts its medical focus as the Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges. Yet clearly the DC profession is split. The Council on Chiropractic Education (no "medical" there) specifically states that it accredits programs that may be educating "chiropractic physicians." The recent U.S. Department of Labor definition of the field notes that "chiropractors [are] also known s doctors of chiropractic and chiropractic physicians." As noted in the Professions section of this round-up, the American Chiropractic Association recently celebrated its victory in keeping the word "physician" in the Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal Employee Plan. A lobbyist for chiropractic in Washington, D.C. shared with me that recent federal legislative issues have often a component in which assertion of the role of doctors of chiropractic as physicians is frequently important. Meantime, subsets of doctors of chiropractic in various states are promoting broader scopes of practice which present the field as a field of medicine and chiropractic education as chiropractic medical education.
Editorial line: On reflection, I will plan to use the range of these terms more often, going forward, especially when I know that the individual about whom I am reporting has preferences. Integrator readers will henceforth be more likely to see "chiropractic" in one sentence, "chiropractic medicine" in another and "chiropractic physician" elsewhere, perhaps in the same article.
Rachael Wong, MPH was recently appointed as the new executive director of the Hawaii Consortium for Integrative Healthcare, a non-profit organization committed to promoting wellness and advancing the practice of integrative, holistic care throughout the state. Wong was previously the executive director of Kokua Mau, the state hospice and palliative care organization. She is a doctoral candidate in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Executive Doctorate in Health Leadership Program. Her dissertation research will focus on U.S. solid organ transplant recipients' CAM use and integrative healthcare needs. The Consortium is unique nationally in the array of stakeholders, from practitioner groups to hospitals, goivernmental agencies and payers, that are member organizations.
John Scaringe, DC has taken over as president of Southern California University of Health Sciences. The multidisciplinary institution has programs in chiropractic medicine, acupuncture and Oriental medicine and massage therapy. A release from the University notes that Scaringe previously served as vice president for academic affairs and chief academic officer at SCUHS since 2006. He began his career at Los Angeles College of Chiropractic (LACC), which later expanded to become SCUHS, as faculty in 1991. Former SCUHS president Ronald Kraft, PhD stepped down to pursue other professional opportunities.
Timothy Birdsall, ND, FABNO, vice president of integrative medicine for Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) was honored as 2009 Physician of the Year by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) at their August meeting. Birdsall's leadership within the profession has included legislative, policy and research initiatives as well as a visionary integration of naturopathic medicine into health care. In the past decade, Birdsall has been particularly important in developing the field of naturopathic oncology. Birdsall currently serves as a member of the NCCAM advisory council. A CTCA release on Birdsall's honor is here.


Camping as a couple? Hitting a festival with a few of your friends? Our Medium Tents are a perfect option. We stock a variety of 3-man and 4-man tents, including tunnel tents with separate rooms and spacious living areas.


Is the Int 505 class loosing it's way again, boat figures for 2013 were very low and 2014 will only be lifted by the fact that the worlds are being held at Kiel, Germany the current heartland of International 505 activity.
While you have to accept and congratulate John Westall's rules on keeping the boat open for innovation, has this just gone too far? The result being we now new boats costing around 30,000 Euro's too much for most sailors who can get better "bucks" for their money elsewhere.
Pip Pearson (President of the class) has openly suggested changes to the class, that I believe simplify and increasingly complex boat, but don't reduce the excitement or performance of the racing.
Removing adjustable shroud tracks, lifting pins, gybing centerboards and dual spinnaker poles, will remove around $2,000 of cost of any boat and most of the class boats can be adapted to this change, It will also reduce the weight.
Also, why is the class using carbon spinnaker poles and booms, when every boat carries correctors to meet the minimum weight? Just doesn't make sense, either ban them (reducing cost more) or reduce the minimum weight by 10kg, so it makes sense to use them.
Lighter boats are faster boats (and looking at the average of the sailors) we all need lighter boats, we are not getting any younger.
So we either let the Holgar Jess price the class out of existence (this is not a dig, he has done terrific work in keeping the class going), but it's not the long term solution.
We need a competitive fleet on the water for less than 20,000 Euro including taxes, otherwise the class will continue to struggle in this competitive market place.
Take note everyone and stop sticking your heads in the mud, Holgar you can help, stop producing complicated boats and the class make some decisions for "g*d-sake" for the good of the class.

YouViews EPG is provided by the internet, not over the air and has been for some number of years.
I would recommend rebooting your router and then the box. It should re-populate within and no more than an hour.
Tim C Member, Super User Posts: 589 ✭✭
Surely it's only the enhanced EPG that comes from the internet with the basic information coming over the air.
Keith Member, Super User Posts: 2,450 ✭✭✭
Indeed, the YouView backwards EPG is purely from internet info, the forwards EPG is the standard over the air info augmented (which in some cases actually reduces the quality of the info presented) with internet delivered info. In the absence of an internet connection the forwards EPG will just contain the normal Freeview over the air data.
Query - since when did YV's EPG use over the air info? And in what format?

You contradict yourself my friend -

Despite Stephens dislike, YouView doesn't use Freeviews EPG and thats a fact.

Pull your Ethernet cable.
All past EPG information will instantly disappear.
What's keeping the future EPG information alive, then?
And here are two screenshots of the same current programme display, first without the Ethernet connection, and secondly with :-
I know how I explain the differences, and indeed why the first presentation isn't entirely blank.
But how do you explain it?

It irks me that the quality of programme information is better from the Freeview EPG than it is from the so called enhanced information from the internet.
EDIT: Actually that statement is no longer correct. Having played around a little, it appears that the enhanced info does have stuff that used to be missing. Oh dear - red face!

If you pull your eternet THEN you will receive a Freeview EPG. This is because YouView is on a list of STBs that are logged to receive it.
You contradict yourself, my friend -
"If you pull your Ethernet THEN you will receive a Freeview EPG"
And re Stephen, it was a Disagree, not a Dislike. But it's a brave (or foolhardy) person who tries to contradict someone, like Stephen, who has access to the source code
Ask Piers how it works.
16 April 2018, 9:41PM edited 17 April 2018, 6:19AM
Why? It's fully documented:-
3.9. Platform metadata
The Platform Main UI application presents a content guide to assist viewers in discovering and selecting content made available through the consumer device. The principle modes of content discovery supported are:
1. A basic eight-day lookahead Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) derived from locally-received broadcast metadata.
2. An enhanced EPG for channels from participating Content Providers offering historical schedules and linkages into the on-demand content catalogue.
3. A browsable catalogue of on-demand content items aggregated from participating Content Providers.
4. A means of searching the aggregated on-demand catalogue by keyword.
The last three modes of discovery are supported by Platform metadata served from a centralised Metadata Aggregation System operated by the Platform and accessed by the consumer device over its IP network interface.
The first mode of discovery ensures that a schedule is available for channels from non-participating Content Providers. It also provides a fallback source of schedule metadata to cover outages in IP network connectivity, and enables the consumer device to operate as a basic DVB receiver–decoder and Digital Video Recorder where it is installed without connection to an IP network.
(Discovery of content through third-party "portal" applications is also supported by the Platform, but is not considered further here because this mode is independent of the Platform Main UI application and is not achieved through the use of aggregated Platform metadata.)
Platform metadata is contributed into the centralised Metadata Aggregation System by participating Content Providers via a Platform-defined Business-to-Business metadata contribution technical interface.
The contributed metadata is transformed by the Metadata Aggregation System into a form that can more easily be consumed by the consumer device and is exposed as a Business-to-Consumer metadata feed in the form of an HTTP-based web service. This corresponds to interface MD4 in the DTG D-Book 7, Part B Section 3.5 and constitutes an implementation-specific metadata delivery interface in that model.
My emphasis above. The document regrettably does not cover the cessation of excavation by those already in a subterranean location.

Hm. I'm going to leave it there. But one of you should ask Piers. Hey ho there you go.
No I'm not, as you've sadly got my goat.
YouViews main UI application aggregated platform metadata uses an aggregated portal system integrated into its EPG. Do Freeview provide that? Well, No.
None of which explains why the OP is having problems with EPG!!
Tim C said:
A good hypothesis is that YouView, trying to get the enhanced metadata that it knew was available for these channels over the internet, encountered a difficulty. And instead of falling back to the OTA EPG, as it would if it knew it had lost its internet connection, it took an 'internet available but metadata not' path that led to the 'NIA' messages.
Assuming this was a minor derangement in the running software, in either the router or the box, Visionman's advice should have proved effective.
And that the OP has not returned indicates it probably did.
YouView probably need to investigate the dusty corner case that the software got itself into, possibly one that cannot even be reached by uncorrupted, correctly running, software and decide if it should be doing what it did there, or if it should be falling back to the OTA EPG.
Which, as it would mask the issue, perhaps it shouldn't.
As we are debating fact, not opinion, there really should be no room for goats here.
But unless the information you think Piers can supply was vouchsafed to you in a private conversation - not impossible, but if that was the case, how could the rest of us know it? - there should be a record of it somewhere, and you could give us a citation.
The difficulty that I see with your position is that it would require every 'Sewing Bee in Old 4:3' marginal Freeview channel to contribute specifically to YouView's store of metadata.
Whereas I doubt that they do, and believe they are what YouView above call non-contributing Providers, just about managing to provide the minimum Freeview OTA EPG information, which YouView likewise picks up OTA to populate that line of its EPG.

If you don't have internet, can't you set a youview box up using the internet at a friend's house and then bring it home to continue to use with full forward in time freeview EPG?
I tested my box early doors (prior to the NextGen downgrade) as a friend was interested in it as I was telling him how good youview used to be and he didn't have internet, old gen certainly did this, I did a factory reset and pulled the plug to my router. You could even get past the requirement for an internet question during setup back then.

The app seems a little basic, and did some weird things with the formatting when trying to edit a page written online. But for on the fly blogging I think it's pretty nifty. Maybe at a more opportune time I'll try out the voice input on the phone and see if that helps or hinders.
I'm not much of a seasoned blogger so it's too early to tell exactly how useful this will prove to be, but my initial feeling is that it will mainly be useful for noting down the basis of blog entries to be refined and expanded upon in the full web client.

What Are the Penalties for Civil Medicare Fraud in New York?
In civil Medicare fraud cases, where the government does not base its case on (criminal) intent, federal authorities like the Office of Inspector General, have statutory authority to sanction non-criminal Medicare fraud with civil liability on individuals and companies.
If your New York business received a subpoena from the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, then you are likely accused of submitting false and fraudulent claims, physician self-referrals, kickbacks, drug price reporting, and other violations committed without criminal intent. Many civil Medicare fraud cases are reported by former employees under the federal False Claims Act.
Under the Civil Monetary Penalty Law (CMPL) violations have recently increased from previously $ 10,000 to now $ 20,000 per false claim.
Nick Oberheiden has avoided liability for clients in New York and elsewhere in dozens and dozens of civil fraud cases. Call him directly and today at 888-680-1745 to hear what he would do to protect your business and your assets.
What Does the Government Have to Prove in NY Medicare Fraud Cases?
Medicare Fraud can also be a federal criminal offense. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1347, a person is guilty of healthcare fraud in New York federal court if the government prosecutors can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the following mandatory elements exist:
The defendant knowingly and willfully executed or attempted to execute a scheme to defraud a healthcare benefit program or obtain money or property from a healthcare benefit program by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises;
The defendant executed or attempted to execute the scheme or plan in connection with the delivery or payment of benefits, items or services under the healthcare benefit program; and
The defendant acted with the intent to defraud the healthcare benefit program.
Because healthcare fraud and Medicare fraud are federal offenses, violations are typically investigated by New York-based federal law enforcement agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Office of Inspector General (OIG), the New York Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU), and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys from the U.S. Attorney's Office. New York State is divided into four federal court districts.
Northern District of New York covering the counties of Albany, Broome, Cayuga, Chenango, Clinton, Columbia, Cortland, Delaware, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Greene, Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Montgomery, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego, Otsego, Rensselaer, Saint Lawrence, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Tioga, Tompkins, Ulster, Warren, and Washington.
Eastern District of New York covering the counties of Kings, Nassau, Queens, Richmond, and Suffolk.
Western District of New York covering the counties of Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Chemung, Erie, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Niagara, Ontario, Orleans, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne, Wyoming, and Yates.
Southern District of New York covering the counties of Bronx, Dutchess, New York, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, and Westchester.

A New York pharmacist was indicted for her role in a scheme to defraud Medicare. According to the indictment, the pharmacist owned two pharmacies and would submit bills to Medicare for reimbursement for drugs that were either medically unnecessary or were not dispensed. The drugs involved in the scheme were for the treatment of individuals with HIV. As a result of the scheme, Medicare paid out almost $8 million based on the fraudulent claims. The pharmacist allegedly used the proceeds to buy luxury cars and expensive jewelry. The scheme the pharmacist ran lasted approximately three years, from 2015 to 2018.
A doctor in New York was convicted following an eight-week trial in federal court for his role in a Medicare fraud scheme. According to evidence presented at trial, the doctor worked at a clinic that operated under three different corporate names. The doctor would submit claims to Medicare for patient services that were never performed or medically unnecessary. The claims billed to Medicare were for a variety of procedures, including office visits, physical therapy and lab testing. Evidence also showed that the doctor had a secret kickback room in his clinic where he would pay Medicare beneficiaries bribes in order to receive medically unnecessary procedures. Approximately $500,000 in illegal bribes was paid by the doctor. The total fraud amount of this scheme was $77 million.
A New York doctor was convicted by a federal jury for his role in a Medicare fraud scheme. According to evidence presented at trial, the doctor worked at various New York hospitals and would bill Medicare for procedures that were never performed. The doctor would write fake patient reports and then send the reports to his billing company out of state and ask the services listed in the fake reports be billed to Medicare. The jury convicted the doctor of one count of healthcare fraud, three counts of making false statements related to healthcare matters and two counts of money laundering. The doctor was sentenced to 156 months in prison for his role in the offense.
A doctor in New York pleaded guilty to his involvement in a Medicare fraud scheme. According to the plea agreement, the doctor worked a clinic and would falsify patient documentation to make patients eligible for Medicare reimbursable procedures that they otherwise would not qualify for. The doctor billed Medicare for physical therapy, vitamin infusions, and occupational therapy services that were not reimbursable. As a result of this scheme, Medicare paid out $14 million for the fraudulent services. The doctor pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud.
The owner of two medical clinics in New York pleaded guilty for her involvement in a scheme to defraud Medicare. According to the plea agreement, the owner of the clinics would pay cash kickbacks to patients in order to subject them to unnecessary medical treatment. The medically unnecessary treatments would then be submitted for reimbursement to Medicare. As a result of the scheme, Medicare paid more than $55 million. The doctor pleaded to conspiracy to commit healthcare fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Federal prosecutors in New York are known for their relentless targeting of healthcare business owners and physicians licensed to practice in New York State. More than in most other states, New York prosecutors claim healthcare fraud including Medicare Fraud, Medicaid Fraud, illegal kickbacks, opioid violations, and much more. The sentencing in New York Medicare Fraud cases largely depends on the calculated recommendations under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Generally speaking, the higher the damage amount to Medicare/CMS, the higher the sentence.

New Iberia – Officials say the pilot of a single-engine plane is unscathed after his plane missed the Acadiana Regional Airport runway and landed in a sugar cane field Saturday afternoon.
Acadiana Regional Airport director Jason Devilier said they still aren't sure what happened to make the plane go down in a field between AvEx and Bristow. He said he could not release the pilot's name but said it was not a local pilot.
The pilot was flying a single-engine, two-seat "kit plane" alone when the plane landed in the field and flipped.
"He missed the runway by a long way," Acadiana Airport Authority chair Bill Miller said.
He said the pilot lost consciousness, but Miller did not know if it was before or after the crash.
Devilier said the pilot was walking around and coherent before Acadiana Ambulance took him to Iberia Medical Center.

Luxottica, the Italian creator of style-conscious sunglasses the world over, has announced it will join forces with Google to design fashionable glasses with built-in technology.
The Italian fashion group on Monday promised to develop "a new breed of eyewear", with mini computers, created by Google, attached to the frames.
Google Glass technology gives wearers access to features such as a camera, weather reports and a calendar, all linked up to their eyewear. While the concept has been developed over the past few years, the Luxottica deal marks a move away from the tech niche to the mass consumer market.
Ray-Ban and Oakley, two of the Luxottica's most fashionable brands, are being brought in as part of the deal, which the company promises will be "a dramatic step forward" for Google glasses.
The new venture follows Luxottica's profits announcement last month, reporting sales of €7.3 billion and a net profit of €544.7 million. While sales remained steady at home in Europe, the company was boosted by positives figures in emerging markets such as China and Brazil.


Windows NT is able to work in a diverse networking environment. This flexibility extends to network printing as well. In an effort to support Internet standards, including TCP/IP-based services, as well as provide smooth integration with UNIX platforms, Microsoft included a set of TCP/IP printing utilities with Windows NT.
These utilities enable NT to print to TCP/IP network printers as well as receive and process incoming TCP/IP print jobs. These functions are provided using the Line Printer Remote (LPR) protocol, for sending print jobs and the Line Printer Daemon (LPD) for receiving them. NT also implements a third common protocol, the Line Printer Query (LPQ), which enables you to query the status of a TCP/IP print device.
The LPD feature1) under Windows NT is implemented as an NT service, which quietly listens for incoming print jobs and submits them to the appropriate NT-based printer. There is no front-end interface that can be manipulated, with the exception of starting and stopping the TCP/IP Printing service.
The LPR support 2) is handled in Windows NT by the LPR print monitor, which is accessed from the standard printer interfaces, either the Print Manager, or the Printer Wizard. You can also submit an LPR print job directly from the command-line interface using the LPR.EXE utility.
Finally, if you want to get status information from a remote LPD print queue, you can use the third utility, LPQ, which is only available in the form of the LPQ.EXE command-line utility.
This chapter explores how to install the TCP/IP Print Services, as well as how to configure NT Server as a TCP/IP printing client, and as a TCP/IP print server. It also discusses using the LPR.EXE and LPQ.EXE command-line utilities and their proper syntax.
can install the TCP/IP print services, you must first install TCP/IP.
First step is thus to make sure TCP/IP printing service is installed.
Windows NT can print to any device capable of accepting Berkeley-style LPR jobs, as described in RFC 1179.
instead of passing the print job directly to the LPT port, NT passes the job across the network using LPR.
device), or by a Novell server if you have Gateway Services for NetWare installed.
local computer, which is responsible for forwarding the job to the network printer.
you must create the printer on your system. This is why you choose the My Computer option.
If LPR Port does not show in this dialog, then you have not installed TCP/IP Printing Service correctly, stop now and start again.
In this dialog you must enter either the hostname 3) of your FREESCO router if your local DNS is configured correctly (test this with a ping command in a DOS box if you're not sure) or it's IP address if DNS is not working. In the example above the IP address is used.
Click the OK button to continue. NT will send an LPD test command to the FREESCO print server you just specified. If it fails, NT will warn you that it could not establish communications with the LPD server. If you are sure that the information is correct, maybe the printer is turned off, then click OK to continue.
Give the printer a name, as shown below. You also need to tell NT whether or not you want to make this your default printer.
Next you're asked if you want to share this printer. This can f.i. be used to share the just made queue to your FREESCO with Win9x clients that default cannot "talk" to an LPD server but can "talk" to a WinNT printer share.
Now the wizard ask if you want to print a test page when the wizard is finished installing.
This dialog pops up at the end of the installation, asking for a confirmation if the test job printed OK or not. I suggest you always say 'Yes' here, no matter if that's the truth or not, because you don't want to go through the M$ Printer Troubleshoot wizard, believe me!
If you want to send a simple text file to your remote FREESCO printer server, you can use the LPR command-line utility.
-S server is the DNS name, or the IP address of the host.
-P printer is the name of the printer or queue on the host.
-C class specifies the content of the banner page for the class.
-J jobname specifies a name for the job. This name will show up if someone views the print queue status on the print server.
filename is the name of the file you want to print.
This only works if the printer attached to your FREESCO is capable of printing unformatted (ASCII) text files, not all printers do!
The LPQ utility enables you to query the queue status of an LPD print server.
-l requests a detailed status. Most LPD servers will ignore this switch.

We love Creekside Cabin. We're already thinking about when we will head there next year. It is comfortable, relaxing and a "home" away from home. Good location to Bryson City and as a home base to visiting the area.
Peaceful, close to town .
I didn't get a chance to work with a member of your team because everything was great.
It is a very beautiful cabin and the yard is well kept and landscaped. The view from the back porch is priceless.
Was a very good stay,liked the cabin looking forward to our next trip.
The only contact I had was through email. The information and directions were very clear.
The cabin was perfect for us! We totally enjoyed our stay!
Couldnt ask for a better place to stay for a relaxing weekend. Perfect size for two people. Very clean and had everything we needed.
It was perfect for us: comfortable, well-stocked, convenient location. We enjoyed our time away and are already planning our next visit.
My husband Loved the fishing. If you are a dedicated fisherman the proximity to the river is unparraled. He slayed these huge rainbowes. A 5lbs on the fourth of July. Love the place and definitely go back! Been there twice already.
Great little house right on Alarka Creek. Easy drive into town, caught a nice rainbow in the creek behind the house. Will definitely return.
We loved the cabin,it was comfortable,cozy and tastefully decorated.It was immaculate inside. Everything was furnished that was needed for a wonderful stay.
I fell in love with this cabin as soon as i saw it.... Was just right for the two of us.. Being on the creek was wonderful. Better than any motel.. Will definitely be back.


Carbs have been mentioned a lot within the CuraLife Diabetes life blog, but are so important that they really deserve a post of their own. Here is our quick carb Q&A to make you an expert.
A carbohydrate is a molecule containing carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, which sounds simple, but the results are anything but. Carbs can be found in almost everything, from popcorn to soda, from potatoes to pears, the molecular structure is pivotal in the formation of certain sugars or fibers.
Carbs have a multitude of roles within the body, but most importantly take care of two jobs, specifically in digestive processes and in the construction of important proteins. They help store energy in the body while performing key functions in our body's DNA structure. In other words, carbs are a lot like caffeine in that it maintains the efforts and activities of your body through the absorption of nutrients into caloric energy. It's more complex role as Ribose becomes the building blocks for Ribonucleic acid or RNA an important component DNA.
Since carbohydrates can be found in tons of processed fibers and sugars they can be extremely unhelpful to those looking to maintain healthy glucose levels. Carbs not only will aid in the rise of blood sugar levels but simultaneously further damage your bodies ability to absorb and maintain the nutrients that keep you active. It is really important to know which carbs are right and which carbs are wrong because they are possibly a diabetics worst nightmare when not approached intelligently.
You can find carbs in anything from potatoes to ice cream, there is no single case that defines and exemplifies carbohydrates. This is why it is very important to know the difference between your carbs, which are best for you and which can do the most harm.
• Bread: Baked goods are a huge source of carbohydrates, but one needs to make sure that they are complex and unprocessed. Processed and bleached bread often contains unhealthy sugars and a lack of healthy grains. Go for grainier unprocessed bread for a healthier option.
• Fruits and Veggies: Carbs found in fruit and veggies can be highly beneficial, even aiding in your digestion and metabolism. In order to get the full benefit try eating your berries or broccoli whole, don't go for a smoothie or juice. Many fruits and veggies have healthy and useful fibers that are lost when turned into a juice or smoothie. If the choice is between fruits or veggies, go green, because fruits will always have some sort of sugars, and its best to give your body a break from those.
• Snacks and Starches: Mashed potatoes, potato crisps, potato chipsת we love them all, but our health and these favorites don't always get along. Try healthy and nutritious beans or lentils in potato's place, their carbs are more conducive to your health and will make digestion easier. Lastly, swap the crisps for some hummus dip and whole grain crackers, or some fruits and nuts, in the end, you and your body will be the big winner.
The key to understanding carbs is that they come in good and bad forms. Sugars and starches, especially when heavily processed, are incredibly unhelpful toward one's health and comfort. Make better decisions and know your carbs, that way you can make every meal a pleasure and a boost, to get you on your way.

British Government Starts Process of Ending Bourbon Tariff
By Mark Gillespie
May 24, 2021 – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson pledged to end Great Britain's import tariff on Bourbon and other American whiskies during his 2019 campaign, and now, his government is taking the first step that could do just that. International Trade Secretary Liz Truss announced today that the government will start a six-week long consultation period with UK stakeholders to review the "Section 232″ tariffs imposed on American exports in 2018 by the European Union.
The tariffs were in retaliation for those imposed by the Trump Administration on imports of steel and aluminum to protect the U.S. steel industry on national security grounds. Great Britain inherited the tariffs when it left the EU earlier this year, and Truss said her goal is to shape tariffs to reflect UK-specific interests. She cited positive discussions with U.S. negotiators and a desire to remove the tariffs for today's move.
"The UK will do whatever is necessary to protect our steel industry against illegal tariffs that could undermine British industry and damage our businesses. Ultimately, however, we want to deescalate these disputes so we can move forward and work closely with the US on issues like WTO reform and tackling unfair trade practices by non-market economies," Truss said in a statement issued by the Department of International Trade.
Last week, European Union leaders announced a suspension of the automatic doubling of the tariffs from 25% to 50% scheduled for June 1. That move follows a similar agreement with the Biden Administration to open talks aimed at solving the global oversupply of steel and aluminum that led to the Trump Administration's 2018 move.
The retaliatory tariffs also targeted other exports from politically sensitive U.S. states, such as motorcycles, orange juice, and tobacco, as European leaders hoped Congressional leaders from those states would put pressure on former President Donald Trump to withdraw the steel and aluminum tariffs. That move was unsuccessful, and may have led to the U.S. specifically targeting single malt whiskies from Scotland and Northern Ireland in its 2019 tariffs against the EU for illegal subsidies to Airbus.
This story is developing, and will be updated with additional information.

THE STRANGEST DREAM: A Play on Body Image and Self-Esteem
By admin March 27, 2019 April 8, 2019 Uncategorized
The annual Listen Up youth theatre troupe will once again tour Lanark County and Smiths Falls youth centres and schools in April with a new play about body image, The Strangest Dream.
Based on research and conversations with young people and in consultation with the Hopewell Centre – Eastern Ontario's only clinic dedicated to working with those dealing with eating disorders – the show is being staged at a time when teenagers especially face a barrage of images in print and electronically that make them question their self-worth and can lead to harmful behaviours.
"In addition to all the expectations we place on young people, the social pressure to conform to looking a certain way can have devastating impacts," says Smith. "While this is certainly not a new thing – we know eating disorders have been with us for a long time – it is magnified by the 24/7 access we now have to a bombardment of visual images and voices that get into our heads and tell us to look and act and feel a certain way."
The Listen Up! project has served as an inspiration for inter-generational dialogue over the past four years, with parents and adult community members taking part in post-show feedback discussions with teenagers.
"It has opened the eyes of a lot of people who aren't always as well connected to what is happening in the world of young people as they could be," says Smith, who notes that young people in rural eastern Ontario face many challenges, not least of which are long waiting lists for a number of services to meet the needs of the teen population. "Through theatre, we tell stories that we hope will provoke the kind of discussion needed to hear what young people's lives are really like and hopefully to generate the kinds of changes they need to live healthy lives."
The play tours throughout Lanark County on the following dates: Wed. Apr. 17 at 4:30pm, WAK, Smiths Falls Youth Arena,
71A Lansdowne Street, Smiths Falls
Thurs. Apr. 18 at 6:00pm, Carambeck Community Centre, 351 Bridge Street, Carleton Place
Wed. Apr. 24 at 5pm, Mississippi Mills Youth Centre, 134 Main St. E., Almonte
Thurs. Apr. 25 at 6:30pm, Royal Canadian Legion, 26 Beckwith St. E., Perth;
Fri. Apr. 26 at 6pm, Lanark Highlands Youth Centre, 61 Princess St., Village of Lanark.
For further information call 613-264-8088 or email burning@web.ca.
