Safe Harbors in Stormy Seas
By: Elisabeth Harper Rood
A Survey of Key Regulations Affecting Arrangements Between Nonprofit Healthcare Organizations and Physicians
Healthcare and tax regulations require nonprofit healthcare organizations to consider fraud and abuse and private inurement issues when engaging with physicians. Acquisitions of physician-owned entities, employment agreements, service agreements, and many other arrangements can involve multiple regulatory hurdles. Compliance necessitates consideration of fair market value (FMV), commercial reasonableness (CR), and reasonable compensation (RC) when employing physicians.
General Healthcare Industry Laws
Whether for-profit or nonprofit, participation in government reimbursement programs requires organizations to comply with federal laws, statutes, and regulations. Understanding these and corresponding FMV, CR, and RC requirements is key to evaluating arrangements and compliance. Related state statutes should also be considered, as applicable.
Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS). The AKS,[1] applicable to referrals from anyone, protects patients and federal healthcare programs by making the knowing or willful exchange of renumeration in return for referrals (for services and items) illegal. Even though multiple purposes for the arrangement may be legitimate, if one purpose[2] of the renumeration is to improperly induce referrals, the arrangement violates AKS. Consequences, including exclusion from federal healthcare programs and criminal and civil penalties, can apply to organizations and individuals. Several voluntary safe harbors require FMV and CR be met and should be principal considerations of organizations seeking to meet these safe harbors.
Stark Law (Stark).[3] Stark prohibits patient referrals for designated health services payable by Medicare or Medicaid to an entity with which a physician, or their immediate family member, has a financial relationship. Likewise, claims for services from prohibited referrals may not be submitted for reimbursement. As a strict liability statute, proof of intent is not required, and violation may result in exclusion from Medicare and Medicaid plus civil (but not criminal) penalties. FMV and CR are requirements to meet several mandatory exceptions, highlighting the importance of these considerations for compliance purposes.
Commercial reasonableness. Many of the Stark exceptions and AKS safe harbors require CR, but neither define it. CMS and the Department of Justice have provided commentary that CR means the particular arrangement furthers a legitimate business purpose of the parties and is on similar terms and conditions as like arrangements.[4] Although an arrangement may be FMV, it may not be CR (e.g., multiple medical directors over a service line may be compensated at FMV, but the services may be duplicative and hence not CR).
Fair market value. FMV is a key element of federal laws, statutes, and regulations. Internal Revenue Ruling 59-60 defines FMV but does not reference referrals or business generated between the parties. Therefore, healthcare nonprofit organizations should refer to FMV under Stark, which defines FMV as the value in arm's-length transactions, consistent with the general market value, and determined without consideration of referrals.[5] AKS does not define FMV, but several safe harbors require compensation be consistent with FMV.
Establishing FMV may require appraisers with expertise in compensation, management and professional services, business and intangible assets, real property, and equipment, among others.
False Claims Act (FCA). Under the FCA, whistleblowers can file qui tam lawsuits for false claims submitted as a result of arrangements in violation of either AKS or Stark. Whistleblowers may receive a share of any recovery. Penalties under the FCA are civil.
Regulatory Sprint to Coordinated Care. In October 2019, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued proposed rules for Stark and AKS to advance the transition to value-based care, ease regulatory burdens, and remove barriers to coordinated care. In many instances, the proposed revisions to Stark and AKS mirror one another. Key proposed revisions include new, value-based exceptions and safe harbors, potential new definitions of FMV and CR, clarification of wRVU-based compensation as a reasonable method, and clarification an arrangement may be CR even if it is not profitable. Nonprofit entities should be familiar with the proposed rules and anticipate more to come later this year.
Additional Tax Regulations for Nonprofit Entities
Nonprofit regulations emphasize private inurement, excess benefit transactions, and RC with the risk of further penalties and potential revocation of tax-exempt status. These regulations prohibit excess benefits to "insiders" (i.e., those with substantial influence over an organization) which may include physicians.[6] To be reasonable, compensation cannot be excessive and must be properly structured.[7] Payments in excess of FMV may violate these regulations. Determination of RC may contemplate amounts paid to others with similar roles and responsibilities at comparable organizations. In addition to salary and wages, nonprofit entities must also consider other forms of cash and noncash compensation (e.g., fringe benefits, pension plans, deferred compensation, etc.).
Implementing best practices may protect against regulatory infractions.
Create emphasis on, and consistency with, the contracting process. Centralize compensation contracting oversight and formalize the process. Formal and methodical contract reviews may include CR, FMV, and RC evaluation policies. To identify high-risk arrangements, organizations may need the expertise of an independent, third-party valuator as well as consultation with in-house and outside counsel.
Consistently seek to understand contract components and related data. Are requirements of all contract components feasible (e.g., total work hours)? Have compensation limits been set for each component of service and for total contractual compensation? Are services duplicative of other services? Does total compensation fall within FMV and is it RC? Has an FMV been performed and, if so, what is the effective period of the valuation and when should it be updated? When using market data to support compensation, understand how the market compensation is calculated (may vary from source to source).
Commit to proper documentation and pay physicians according to the documentation. Require physicians to document work for each role (e.g., time logs). Regularly audit the documentation and reconcile to services required and described in the contract.
As compensation arrangements of nonprofit healthcare organizations are under increasing regulatory scrutiny, organizations must make systematic efforts to document and comply with CR, FMV, and RC to ensure regulatory compliance.

The footballing future is bright for Warwickshire, says Racers Chairman Vella
Works on Racing Club Warwick's new 3G pitch at Townsend Meadow have now been completed.
Ben Tyler 22nd Mar, 2021
Works on Racing Club Warwick's new 3G pitch at Townsend Meadow have now been completed.
CHAIRMAN Gary Vella is hopeful for the future of football in the Warwickshire county – and views the new development at Racing Club Warwick's Townsend Meadow as a key stepping stone to blooding the next generation of talent in the local area.
The Midland League Premier Division side have been anything but quiet ever since the coronavirus outbreak 12 months ago, atoning for the lack of action on the pitch with plenty of work behind the scenes to bolster the club in both the short and long-term.
Works on a new 3G playing surface and clubhouse refurbishments have been taking place ever since planning permission was granted by Warwick District Council last July, with the new-look facilities at Townsend Meadow now complete and ready for use.
Given the investment in the club, it is no surprise that the Racers are keen to stretch their influence as far as possible, adding a new under-23 development squad, an under-16 academy structure and several girls teams for the 2021/22 season – with a view to fielding a women's first team and branching out into disability football in the future also.
Vella is understandably excited for what lies in store for local talent, and said: "With the new facilities and the pathways already implemented, and alongside our partnerships with Coventry City, Future Pro and Scott Smith Coaching, we can offer opportunities for all levels.
"It is important to ensure that it is local Warwick District children that get these opportunities over those from further afield, who are already well serviced by existing infrastructure and services.
"For far too long this area has been deprived of real development opportunity and we will ensure that it is local talent that get the benefits, over and above any short-term gains to the club which could be made by looking further afield."
The club have already proven successful with their scholarship scheme for under-19 players and their under-18 Midland Floodlit League side, and look set to continue going from strength to strength once their new facility is allowed for public use from March 29.

Sunset Junction, Los Angeles
October 7th, 2016|Uncategorized|
Sunset Junction was originally the name of the stop on the Pacific Electric Railway line in Silver Lake, CA.
Traveling the northeast route from Downtown Los Angeles on Sunset Boulevard the streetcar changed course at the the intersection where Santa Monica Boulevard intersects with Sunset Boulevard. (Where the Jiffy Lube stands today.) Passengers could either continue on Sunset towards Hollywood Boulevard or turn west onto Santa Monica Boulevard and head towards West Hollywood.
Eventually, the streetcar era came to an end. The name stuck. And, before long, Sunset Junction was the center of national attention.
On New Year's Eve in 1966 several police officers stepped out of line:
"… eight undercover LAPD officers infiltrated the gay-friendly Black Cat Bar, located near Sunset Junction between Sanborn and Hyperion Avenues. As the clock struck midnight and celebrants exchanged traditional New Year's kisses, police officers sprung into action, beating several bar goers and arresting 14 for assault and public lewdness.
The incident sparked one of the first public protests in the nascent gay rights movement …
The Black Cat protests also inspired Richard Mitch and others to create what is today the nation's best-known LGBT publication, The Advocate, as a way to spread information about the rising movement."
Silver Lake's gay friendly reputation continued to grow. In 1980 the area became home to the first annual Sunset Junction Street Fair. It was held to promote tolerance among Silver Lake's gay and non-gay residents and blossomed into a weekend filled with many notable music acts, as well as rides and vendors. The street fair lasted for more than 30 years.
Today the sign resting on top of the Mediterranean style building at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Sanborn Avenue is a Silver Lake landmark and serves as a reminder of the area's indie, creative, and diverse roots.
The neighborhood is filled with popular restaurants, artisanal coffee stores, and a collection of stylish boutiques.
And, with this, home values have soared.

"Being There": National Film Registry #27
December 9, 2018 by Cary O'Dell
The countdown to the newest titles to be added to the Library of Congress's National Film Registry continues. Those films will be disclosed on December 12th.
Back in 2015, the Library named the film "Being There," starring Peter Sellers and Shirley MacLaine to its Registry. "Being There" is beloved for many things, including Sellers's quiet lead performance, but the film is much more than that. As Jerry Dean Roberts explained:
"Sometimes the best films are the ones that strive to be more than just one thing. We see the story that is presented to us but then, at the best of times, the hidden truth begins to reveal itself. Hal Ashby's 'Being There' has a lot of deep meanings wrapped around a man who does not. He is a simpleton, a man seemingly born without the capacity for cynicism, or even the capacity to learn. And yet, his connection to the outside world has a transformative effect that he doesn't realize. The revelation in his simpleton is that his limited capacity is interpreted as genius. Is he limited, or are we? "
Read the rest of the "Being There" (PDF) essay.
Title: "Being There"
Year Added to the National Film Registry: 2015 (See all films added to the Registry in 2015.)
Trivia: The great Peter Sellers also appears in the Registry-named films "Dr. Strangelove" and "The Pink Panther."
This blog post is the 27th of 30 in our "30 Years of the National Film Registry" series which was launched to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Registry. The National Film Registry selects 25 films each year showcasing the range and diversity of American film heritage to increase awareness for its preservation. The 30th National Film Registry selections will be announced on December 12, 2018.

Data Localisation and the RTI Act: Why changes in the Srikrishna committee's final draft are significant
While the bill submitted by the Srikrishna committee is largely identical to the draft bill accessed by The Caravan, the few changes introduced in the final draft are startling—they take a nearly opposite position to that of the earlier draft.
On 27 July, almost a year after it was constituted, a committee of experts chaired by the former Supreme Court judge BN Srikrishna submitted its report and bill on the framework for India's foremost law on data protection and privacy. Earlier this week, The Caravan accessed drafts of both the bill and the report. In one piece based on these drafts, I detailed how proposed amendments in the bill would strengthen the Unique Identification Authority of India—the parent agency of Aadhaar—and dilute the provisions of the Right to Information Act. Another piece revealed that the proposed data-protection bill would require the parliament to enact a law overseeing Indian intelligence agencies.
While the bill submitted by the Srikrishna committee is largely identical to the draft bill accessed by The Caravan, the few changes introduced in the final draft are startling—they take a nearly opposite position to that of the earlier draft. Some of these changes are positive. In the earlier draft of the bill, the first, second and third schedules appended to the bill, respectively, sought to amend the Information Technology Act of 2000, the Aadhaar Act of 2016, and the RTI act of 2005. As I wrote earlier, the amendments to the Aadhaar act sought to introduce a new offline verification system for Aadhaar without any prior public consultation, and conferred the UIDAI with a monopoly over legal proceedings arising out of the act. The final bill, however, omits the Aadhaar Act amendment altogether. It contains only two schedules—the amending acts to the IT act and the RTI act. While the amendment to the IT act proposes minor changes and has remained the same, the amendment to the RTI act has been altered significantly—also for the better. The final bill also modifies the provisions for non-consensual processing of data by the state.
But there are worrying changes as well: the final bill has modified the provisions concerning data localisation—essentially, that data-processing entities, termed data fiduciaries, would be required to store data or copies of it within the physical territory of India.
The draft bill proposed to amend Section 8(1)(j) of the RTI act, which accounted for the right to privacy by allowing public information officers to withhold "personal information ... which has no relation to any public activity or interest." The proposed amendments would have put an exponentially higher burden on the request for such a disclosure of personal information, mandating that it fulfil a three-fold requirement. It proposed that information could be disclosed only if: it related to a function of a public authority and required the maintenance of transparency and accountability; the disclosure was "necessary to achieve the object of transparency"; and any potential harm to the concerned individual from the disclosure would be outweighed by the interest of transparency. The amendment in the final data protection bill, however, has largely remained the same as the provision in the 2005 RTI act, and adds a clause stating that the disclosure of information would be "notwithstanding anything in the Personal Data Protection Act, 2018"—effectively, that a disclosure under the RTI act would not be constrained by the proposed data protection law. The draft bill contained no such provision.
This change has come against the backdrop of an on-going public discussion on the possible dilution of the RTI act itself. Civil-society activists have raised concerns that the government's suggested amendments to the RTI Act would be detrimental to its ultimate goals of transparency and accountability. The propositions of the earlier draft of the data protection bill would have further weakened the act, and their removal appears to recognise the need to balance privacy with public accountability.

Q: How to evaluate a zero of the Riemann zeta function? Here is a super naive question from a physicist:

Given the zeros of the Riemann zeta function,
  $\zeta(s)
= \sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{-s}$,
  how do I actually evaluate them?

On this  web page I found a list of zeros. Well I guess if the values, call one ${a_\text{zero}}$, are just given in decimal expansion, then I'd have to run a program and see how it approaches zero
$$\zeta({a_\text{zero}}) =
\sum_{n=1}^\infty n^{-{a_\text{zero}}} =
\frac{1}{1^{a_\text{zero}}} + \frac{1}{2^{a_\text{zero}}} + \frac{1}{3^{a_\text{zero}}} + \cdots\approx 0. \qquad ;\Re(a)>1$$
But are there also analytical solutions, let's call one ${b_\text{zero}}$, which I can plug in and see $\zeta({b_\text{zero}}) = 0$ exactly? Specifically the non-trivial ones with imaginary part are of interest. What I find curious is that these series, with each term being a real number multiplied by some $n^{-i\cdot \text{Im}(b_\text{zero})}$, then also kind of resemble Fourer series.

A: I've never seen anyone vocalize any expectation for any of the nontrivial zeros to have an explicit symbolic expression, presumably from which one could in principle then mathematically prove said expression is a zero of $\zeta(s)$ ("plug in and see"). That sounds too good to be true. Perhaps there are cheap ways to express them analytically in terms of $\zeta(s)$ that basically amount to defining them to be zeros of the function in the first place in some roundabout fashion.
The trivial zeros though one can show are in fact zeros, using the functional equation and the fact that the gamma function has no zeros in the complex plane but it has poles at negative integers.
Beyond this, and the values of $\zeta$ at positive even integers (which derive from harmonic analysis essentially), you'll have to settle for numerical approximation instead of symbolic computation.
Chris notes in the comments that the series $\sum n^{-s}$ only defines $\zeta(s)$ for ${\rm Re}(s)>1$; obviously it doesn't converge to the left of this by comparison with the harmonic series. The Riemann zeta function is defined as the analytic continuation of the function defined by this series. It is the magical functional equation that relates $\zeta$'s values on the left half-plane to its values on the right.
For reference, the functional equation is given by $\xi(s)=\xi(1-s)$, where $\xi$ is the "completed" zeta function defined by $\xi(s)=\pi^{-s/2}\Gamma(s/2)\zeta(s)$ (sometimes a factor like $s(1-s)$ is introduced to make the proofwork easier). The explanation for the mysterious "gamma factor" lies in heavy algebraic number theory machinery, which is the content of Tate's thesis.
The theory of zeta functions definitely has connections with Fourier theory. Coefficients can be twisted by characters, zeta functions can be attached to modular forms which themselves can be defined by $q$-series, the explicit formula for the growth of primes in terms of the nontrivial zeros can be interpreted as "the music of the primes," and so on. I am not sure how high the observation that the $n^{-s}$-series looks like a Fourier series in $\tau={\rm Im}(s)$ ranks on the ladder of significance.
As a physicist, you may also be interested to know that the zeros have been empirically observed to obey certain statistical spectral laws, keywords: "GUE ensemble," "random matrix theory." There's a nice collection of information related to these ideas here. Another direction of interest is that on the Riemann hypothesis the nontrivial zeros form a one-dimensional quasi-crystal, see here.
Hagen notes in the comments that even though we are forced (in the critical strip in particular) to settle with numerical approximation, we can in fact test whether discovered nontrivial zeros have real part exactly half. See this MSE question for the relevant math behind this.
(Sorry I can't be of much help.)

A: The Riemann Zeta function has zeros as follows:
(1) From the Euler Product follows $\zeta(s)\not=0$ for $\mathrm{Re}\,s>1$.
Taking the functional equation into account results that the only zeros outside the critical strip $\{ s\in\mathbb C\mid 0\leq\mathrm{Re}\,s\leq1\}$ are the trivial zeros $-2,-4,-6,\ldots$
(2) Beyond the trivial zeros the Zeta-Function has also zeros within the critical strip $S = \{ s \in \mathbb{C} \mid 1 > \mathrm{Re} \, s > 0 \} $. These are the non-trivial zeros. Little is yet known about these and your link to the numerical calculations of Andrew Odlyzko refer exactly to those zeros. There is not an analytical solution yet available.
To your point on the Fourier series analogy. It is possible to write out the Zeta function for $\mathrm{Re}\,s>1$ as a so called partition function that (resembles the form of a Fourier):
$$Z(T):= \sum_{n=1}^\infty \exp \left(\frac{-E(n)}{k_B T}\right) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \exp \left(\frac{-E_0 \log n}{k_B T}\right) \equiv \sum_{n=1}^\infty \exp \left(-s \log n\right) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^s} = \zeta (s)$$
and so forth see here>>>. But this was not the question I guess.

Food – FOOD IS LIFE!
Avoid cooking in batter. Grill your fish and bake your chips.
Stir-fry, adding a very small amount of olive oil or another good oil.
Steam your vegetables until just cooked. Try not to overcook vegetables, as some vegetables loose their crunch and also loose nutritional content.
Roasting your meats and vegetables is quite healthy and it also enhances the natural flavours.
Try using olive oil, instead of butter, in your cooking. This helps reduce consumption of saturated fat from butter.
There are plenty more healthy cooking tips, however, this will do for now.
Karina's Crunchy Red Cabbage, Carrot and Mixed-Mint Salad with Ginger, Sesame, Garlic and Lime Dressing.
Using an extra large mixing bowl, combine all the Main Salad Ingredients together, by tossing well with clean hands. This is fun for the kids to do, as it involves them feeling fresh food with their hands.
Combine all the Dressing ingredients, then mix well with a spoon until well combined. Pour this salad dressing evenly over the salad, using your clean hands to toss and coat the salad well with the dressing. Kids can do this bit as well, as they will be able to smell interesting food flavours.
Using a large, rectangular or square platter, arrange your 5 large cabbage leaves on the plate, then pile all your salad on top of them. Sprinkle your sliced purple beans evenly over the salad, then jab the salad with your fresh mint-basil sprigs.
Great for a BBQ side-dish, or for a healthy vegetarian light lunch.
Serves 10 as a side dish, or 5 as a light lunch.
Have a nice candlelit dinner instead of turning on the lights. This creates a nice atmosphere for eating, it saves on electricity and helps the environment. How de'light'ful is this!
Try to eat vegetarian every so often. This helps the environment by minimising meat consumption, helps your wallet by saving you money and makes you healthier by going meat-free every now and then.
Try to eat seasonal produce where possible. You may be able to get a bargain this way (as more produce is available for sale), along with helping the environment by reducing quantities of imported produce.
I hope this is enough to stir the imagination.
Have fun, whilst helping the environment!
The Australian 'Good Food and Wine Show'!
The thought of a whole weekend dedicated to food and wine, should be enough to stop fanatics from 'wine'ing! It is a day (or entire weekend) dedicated to manifesting omnivorous culinary adventures, in the form of numerous food and wine stalls, cooking classes and tips by Australia's culinary experts!
I had a great weekend at Australia's 'Good Food and Wine Show.' I met Australia's MasterChefs Adam and Billie, along with meeting Gary, for the second time. Let's just put it this way: it was culinary heaven, from Almonds to Zest!
So, if you don't want to hear others 'wine'ing, take them for some 'wine'ing and dinning!
1/ Buy some garlic bulbs.
2/ Reserve a few individual garlic cloves, allowing them to sprout from the top, as (photographed by myself above).
3/ Once the garlic clove has sprouted, it is ready to plant, precisely how it looks in the picture above. You'll need a pot, some regular soil from your garden and/or from your lawn. You'll also need to mix about a quarter of the soil with all-purpose premium compost. With the compost, you can either buy this by the bag from your local farmer, nursery or supermarket. If you really want to be green, you can make your own compost, by depositing vegetable scraps into your soil or canister, then mixing this up with the rest of your soil.
4/ Completely fill your chosen pot with this nutrient-rich soil mixture.
5/ Plant the individual garlic clove in this pot, ensuring you only allow the green shoot (at the top of the clove) to protrude.
6/ Water well, to allow the garlic clove to settle in well.
7/ Place and keep your pot out in part sun and part shade. Near a fence would be great.
8/ Every few days, monitor for signs of new green growth.
9/ Water your garlic plant every 2 days and allow to grow.
10/ Your garlic is ready to be harvested, when half the leaves are dead and half are green.
11/ Don't water the plant at this stage (for approximately 9 days), as you want to prevent the garlic plant from rotting.
12/ After your garlic plant has dried a little (after waiting approximately 9 days), you are ready to pluck this straight out of the ground. Do this, by grabbing at the base of the garlic plant, to prevent breakage.
Have fun in the garden and the kitchen!
One, two, three: 'cheese' !
Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt into 1 kg of natural pot set yoghurt. Rince your new Chux cloth in warm water only, then squeeze most of the liquid out, ensuring the cloth is still slightly wet. Pour your entire salted yoghurt mixture into this cloth, then gather the Chux cloth, ensuring it surrounds the mixture securely. Hang your mixture on your wooden spoon, or other utensil, ensuring the sides of the Chux cloth are tied to the wooden spoon, to prevent falling. Ensure that the mixture is hanging, so that a nice even drip can be established. Keep this mixture hanging for about 8 hours, or until exactly half of the yoghurt mixture has dripped out of the cloth. This mixture is called 'whey'. The cheese is called 'Labna'.
Essemble your large blob of cheese the way you like it, so this part is entirely up to you. For me personally, I love this cheese with some beautiful Crusty wholemeal bread or Crusty Pane Di Casa bread – just devine!
Serves six or more people as part of an antipasto platter!

On Thursday, the Finnish national junior team dropped Buffalo defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen from its roster for August's U.S. National Junior Evaluation Camp.
Ristolainen, the eighth overall selection at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, was left off because he's projected to compete for a spot on the Sabres next season. Buffalo has already signed the towering defenseman (Ristolainen is 6-foot-4, 225 pounds) to an entry-level deal.
This is the second time in a week we've seen a team drop NHL-bound skaters from its NJEC roster.
On July 26, Team Sweden announced it had removed Nashville's Filip Forsberg and Carolina's Elias Lindholm from the lineup, as both are expected to be with their respective NHL clubs when the regular season opens in October.
Ristolainen, 18, was the third defenseman taken at the '13 draft, behind Seth Jones (Nashville, fourth overall) and Darnell Nurse (Edmonton, seventh overall). He projects to be most ready for NHL play having spent the last two years skating with TPS Turku in Finland's top league, the SM-liiga.
The U.S. NJEC runs from Aug. 3-10 and will feature four countries — the United States, Sweden, Canada and Finland. It will be the first major look at junior-level talent prior to the 2014 World Championships, which get underway on Dec. 26 from Malmo, Sweden.

Indianapolis beats Minneapolis as site for USA Swimming's 2024 Olympics trials
Start of the women's 400 freestyle at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials in Omaha in June 2021.
— Charlie Neibergall, Associated Press
By Rochelle Olson , Star Tribune
U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis has lost to Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis in its bid to host the U.S. swimming trials in advance of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, according to an announcement this week from USA Swimming.
The decision was a disappointment for the nascent Minnesota Sports and Events (MNSE) group that flew to the trials in Omaha last summer to court the event, despite strong rumors that Indianapolis was the presumptive favorite.
"From Day 1, I truly believed that there was no bigger, more exciting, everything-on-the-line Olympic event in this country than the swimming trials, and envisioned the heights that we could take it to," USA Swimming President & CEO Tim Hinchey III said. "Given their track record, we are incredibly confident and excited in Indianapolis' ability to conduct a technically flawless competition and to stage a world-class event."
The prospective 2024 host cities, including Omaha, expected USA Swimming to announce a choice shortly after the Olympics in Tokyo last summer. But the decision was inexplicably delayed until Tuesday.
In recent years, the swimming trials at the CHI Health Center in Omaha have expanded into an increasingly glitzy event of nearly two weeks attracting 2,000 swimmers. For peak nights before the COVID-19 pandemic, the event sold out 14,000 seats.
COVID held crowds to about half that in 2021, but USA Swimming hoped to come back bigger in 2024. The Indianapolis competition will be the first swimming trials in a football stadium.
MNSE expected to draw crowds of up to 26,000 at U.S. Bank Stadium. The plan was to set the 50-meter competition parallel to the eastern end zone with warmup pools on the western portion of the Vikings' playing field.
Now the Minneapolis group will focus on the next Olympic trials, MNSE CEO Wendy Blackshaw said Wednesday.
"We are going to bid on it for 2028 and we really want to have it here, and we think this would be a great market for it and we're going to aggressively go after it," she said. "I know that one of USA Swimming's goals is to expand the popularity of swimming and we feel this would be a great place to have the event because there's a strong swimming community here."
Before inviting MNSE to Omaha to compete for the event, USA Swimming officials had visited U.S. Bank Stadium during the 2018 men's NCAA Final Four basketball tournament and attended a Vikings game in the owners' suite.
MNSE is hosting the NCAA women's Final Four in Minneapolis this weekend.

«Timmy 2000» es el tercer episodio de la cuarta temporada, y el episodio 51 de la serie animada South Park.

Sinopsis

Timmy, un niño discapacitado mental es el nuevo compañero de clases de los chicos, que solo es capaz de hacer ruidos diversos, decir propio nombre, y "Livin a lie". El Sr. Garrison (que cree que Timmy hace esto intencionalmente) y la Directora Victoria ignoran que tiene una discapacidad, a pesar de sus desventajas son obvias. Sr. Mackey al ver que Timmy se distraía cuando le leía El gran Gatsby sugiere que Timmy puede sufrir de SFA (Síndrome de Falta de Atención). Después lo envían con un médico que solo le diagnóstica con que "la enfermedad" es muy extraña, lo cual hace que Timmy se libre de todas las tareas.

Al ver esto todos los otros niños de la clase dicen que tienen SFA, porque ellos también quieren librarse de la tarea, y todos ellos son diagnosticados rápidamente también, y les recetan Ritalin. Sin la carga de la tarea, Timmy descubre un nuevo pasatiempo, uniéndose a una banda llamada "Los Señores del Inframundo" (que consta de Skyler, el exnovio de Shelly y sus dos amigos, que aparecieron en el episodio "Orgia de Gatos"), en donde él se convierte en su nuevo vocalista. La banda se convierte en un éxito instantáneo debido a las travesuras de Timmy tanto que la banda termina llamándose "Timmy y los Señores del Inframundo". Sin embargo, mucha gente se indigna, ya que creen que Timmy está siendo ridiculizado. Sobre todo Phil Collins, que está disgustado con la nueva banda la cual lo ha reemplazado en una presentación para él en el festival Lalapalalapaza. Poco después, Timmy y los Señores del Inframundo reemplazan a Collins como logo del cartel del festival.

Los otros chicos han empezado a tomar su medicamento Ritalin, haciéndolos tranquilos y paulatinamente aburridos. Cartman desarrolla un efecto secundario que le hace ver monstruos de color rosa con la cara de Christina Aguilera. Los adultos no se sienten concordes con lo sucedido pero aceptan ya que sus hijos son más obedientes y después ellos también comienzan a tomar Ritalin. Chef y los farmacéuticos son las únicas personas que no están bajo la influencia de la droga por lo que deciden ponerle fin.

Mientras tanto, Phil Collins intenta separar Timmy y los Señores del Inframundo. En al principio, apelando a los padres de Timmy, Richard y Hellen (que también tienen la misma discapacidad que Timmy), y posteriormente diciéndole al guitarrista, Skyler, que Timmy le roba su fama y solo se sostiene Skyler puede tener más fama que Timmy. Entonces Skyler deja la banda, y posteriormente el festival a consecuencia de ello se cancela. Collins recupera su lugar estrella, y Skyler forma la banda "Reach for the Skyler".

Mientras tanto, Chef trata de convencer a los padres que hay otros métodos para luchar contra la SFA que la medicación, pero como los padres están tomando Ritalin también no recibe ningún tipo de ayuda y se ve obligado a enfrentarse a los farmacéuticos solo luego de que los chicos le dicen a Chef que quieren ir al festival para ver cantar a Phil Collins, Chef enfrenta a los farmacéuticos y les dice que ellos son responsables de los niños tomaran el Ritalin con la consecuencia del gusto hacia Collins. Horrorizados que ellos son responsables de esto, hacer un plan para distribuir un antídoto llamado "Ritalout" mezclándolo con bebidas gratis en el festival Lalapalalapaza. Se ponen las bebidas en un puesto de limonada dirigido por el Sr. Derp (un personaje secundario que apareció por última vez en El Súcubo). El plan funciona perfectamente, Collins es abucheado desde el escenario, y la gente empieza a cantar para exigir de vuelta a Timmy. La banda se reúne con Skyler y tocan de nuevo. Timmy incluso aprende las palabras para presentarlos como "Timmy y los Señores del Inframundo" y Skyler se reconcilia oficialmente con la banda.

Muerte de Kenny
Cartman estando alucinando bajo los efectos del Ritalin, ve a Christina Aguilera en el rostro de Kenny por lo que cree matarla con una sartén golpeándola al rostro de Kenny también matándolo.

Referencias Culturales
Phil Collins siempre porta un premio Oscar en alusión al tema You'll Be in My Heart, de la película de Disney Tarzan aunque parodiada como You'll Be in Me. Dicho tema fue a su vez galardonado con el tema Blame Canada de la película South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut. El tema Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld aparece en el juego Rock Band.

A reveal-all and direct comparison between Samsung, Apple and Huawei — Which is the best camera phone?
By Melo Villareal On Nov 12, 2016 Last updated Apr 2, 2021 1,791 1
Samsung, Apple and Huawei — Which is the best camera phone?
Battle of the Smartphone Photography: Search for the best camera phone!
The Rules of the Challenge
The Result of the Challenge
When was the last time you ever saw someone holding up a mobile phone with a VGA camera to take photos? Nowadays, it is unusual to even see someone owning that kind of mobile phone. When you walk down the streets, you would mostly see people holding smartphones. These smartphones have cameras that can capture megapixels. The higher, the better and more accurate in terms of image resolution.
The camera game has definitely changed. Smartphone brands are constantly upgrading their cameras to challenge professional cameras in the best way that they can. However, to be able to know who the reigning king of smartphone photography is, there is a need to directly compare the capabilities of various smartphone cameras.
New Matte Black iPhone 7 Plus
Seven participants, comprised of Instagram influencers and photography enthusiasts, have been invited to test out smartphone photography. In respective order, Samsung, Apple and Huawei came out as the top 3 with the most smartphones sold globally during Q2 of 2016. As such, for the challenge, the selected smartphones to be used were the Samsung S7, Apple iPhone 7 Plus and Huawei P9.

On the battle, each participant was instructed to shoot different subjects using the iPhone 7, Huawei P9 and Samsung Galaxy S7 in same angles. This method is mostly used to easily compare shots, but we've also added more context as they need to shoot in 4 different kinds of categories, vivid, bokeh/depth of field, low light and monochrome/black and white.
The iPhone 7 Plus trumps Samsung Galaxy S7 and Huawei P9 in the lowlight category with 6 voting it to be the best in that segment. It further proves what the brand claims as a mastery to taking photos even at the most unexpected moments.
However, Huawei P9 takes the lead for most of the categories namely the bokeh feature, monochrome and vivid portions with 7, 5 and 4 respondents respectively voting for the brand to have the best in these specifications.
In a similar phone blind test that Vox Pop did, this time with 50 respondents, the results are almost the same. The Samsung Galaxy S7 lags behind the two other brands in all categories, getting only 12%-18% of the respondents' nod. The iPhone 7 Plus ranks in second, getting 30% of the votes for the bokeh category and 34% for the monochrome selection.
Unsurprisingly, the Huawei P9 got the most votes for Bokeh with 29 respondents agreeing it has the best feature in that category. It finished a close second to the iPhone 7 Plus in the Monochrome and Vivid categories, gathering 24 and 22 total votes, respectively. Overall, the participants seem to favor Samsung Galaxy S7 the least and Huawei P9 the most when it comes to three key features: bokeh, monochrome and vivid.
Huawei P9 Plus – best camera phone
As this was a blind test for all the respondents, both surveys swing in the same results with the Samsung Galaxy S7 as the least favorite for all of the features suggested. Meanwhile, the iPhone 7 Plus gets applauded for its excellent lowlight capacity.
As for the rest of the features tested – bokeh, monochrome and vivid – Huawei P9 proves to be the best and it can be said that the brand's partnership with Leica has turned out to be the most wonderful decision it has made to date.
Do you agree with the result? What's your choice and what would you say works best for you?

Ex-prosecutors: Something smells in DeKalb's $4K check scandal
By Johnny Edwards, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The $4,000 payment from a DeKalb County vendor could have been graft, theft - or a setup to embarass a high-ranking official, legal experts said after learning details of an investigation by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Channel 2 Action News.
Or it could be untraceable cash that investigators will never root out.
In any scenario, it reinforces what other probes into DeKalb County government have already found: a broken government in disarray, criminal law experts said.
You can read the AJC-Channel 2 findings at MyAJC.com.
"This is the way business has been done on multiple levels in DeKalb County for the last 14 years," former DeKalb District Attorney Bob Wilson said, "and this kind of business is how you hide crimes and enrich people improperly."
The AJC and Channel 2 found that after Alpharetta-based Water Removal Services did $6,500 in home repair work for then-Commissioner Lee May, at taxpayers' expense, the company wrote a $4,000 check back to May.
May, now the county's interim CEO, says he knew nothing about the check and never received a cent of the money.
But the man who handled the money said it was intended to help May with his personal financial problems. May was in bankruptcy at the time, reeling from a failed movie theater business. Then a sewer line clog spewed raw sewage into his living room and garage, damaging floors and baseboards.
Doug Cotter, who once organized a campaign fundraiser for May, arranged the repair work. The former homebuilder was sharing office space with Water Removal Services at the time, and says he asked the company to issue the check, cashed it at a package store owned by his family, then gave the money to former County Commission Chief of Staff Morris Williams.
He did it all at Williams' direction, Cotter said. Williams disputed his account, but would not elaborate.
The check was endorsed "Lee May," but May said it's not his signature. May does acknowledge receiving special treatment from the county, which puts homeowners through a claims process before paying for sewer damage repairs, but he says he didn't realize it at the time.
With the players giving conflicting accounts, and one key player staying tight-lipped, legal experts say the FBI and the DeKalb County District Attorney's Office have a lot of work do to. Investigators should be digging through bank records and comparing handwriting samples, said Allen Moye, a retired federal prosecutor who lives in Decatur.
"At this point, there's not really any way to say who got the money," Moye said. "If you're looking at whether or not to charge criminal behavior, you have to look at the motivations of everyone involved, and the credibility of everybody involved."
J. Tom Morgan, a former DeKalb County District Attorney who teaches criminal law at Western Carolina University, said that if May accepted a $4,000 gift from a personal friend, that wouldn't be illegal. Unless investigators prove the money influenced county business, it would just be another situation that smells, Morgan said.
But with May adamant that he didn't receive the money or know about the check, and with the check made out to him, some crime must have occurred, such as forgery or theft by deception, he said.
"This is just the tip of an iceberg, is my best guess," Morgan said.
Wilson said the passing of money and the mixing of personal and government business were inappropriate and extremely convoluted, "which makes me think it was trying to be a trail that can't be followed."
Wilson represents landscaper Paul Champion in a lawsuit against DeKalb, claiming county officials tried to shake him down and that the county owes him more than $880,000 for his work. In counterclaims, the county accused Champion of overbilling. A special grand jury that probed the water department recommended Champion be investigated for possible criminal infractions, among other people.
Citizen watchdog Viola Davis, who leads the the DeKalb Unhappy Taxpayer and Voter group, wants investigators to stop looking for isolated infractions and approach the DeKalb government as possible organized crime.
Davis started getting tips about the work done at May's house more than a year ago, but her open records requests didn't yield anything. Her tipsters never provided the name of the company that did the work.
"If there's ever a time you needed a RICO investigation, it's now," Davis said. "It's hard to step out and expose stuff like this, especially when you're dealing with very powerful people."
