I'm sat around this morning waiting for my first delivery of DMT's and you'd think I'd be more excited. I fought for years to be able to see an MS specialist in my area who questioned my diagnosis of SPMS and recommended I start DMT's again straight away.
This is all progress and I feel pleased there are medication options open to me now but I can't help having mixed feelings about starting treatment.
I won't mention what I've been prescribed as I don't think it would make any difference to how I feel. So what exactly is my problem?
It's partly due to all the changes I've made over the last few years and putting my faith into medication rather than having the control myself. As I was wrongly diagnosed with SPMS a few years ago I stopped injecting DMT's as they weren't effective for SPMS and they made me feel dreadful for 5 days out of 7. I looked for alternatives to medication to regain some control over my prognosis. I dramatically changed my diet and have improved my fatigue, strength and stamina as a result. I'm also 3 stone (42 lbs) lighter and have dropped 3 dress sizes which helps me lug myself about! I've also started gentle exercise which will hopefully improve my balance and strength.
Facing SPMS helped me accept my condition too. Rather than hiding in denial and putting my faith in medication I got myself a scooter and a part time job and got on with my life!
I'm also nervous about side effects. Lately I feel so good even with my lack of mobility and other symptoms. I feel apprehensive about introducing stong chemicals into my body that have the power to make me feel bad as well as doing long term good. I know the side effects can be lessened by over the counter medication and being prepared for what might happen. I also know that not everyone suffers with side effects and that they usually have less effect over time but I still feel anxious about it.
I mentioned my fears on social media and someone people pointed out that I shouldn't be starting the treatment if I don't want to take it as these drugs cost the NHS a fortune and some areas have long waiting lists so I should be more grateful for the opportunity I've been given.
Given how much I've had to fight just to get seen by a specialist who knows anything about MS I couldn't care less how much it's costing! Harsh but true. I should have been correctly diagnosed when I went to my neurologist with worsening disability years ago! If I had I would have been taking DMT's instead of figuring it all out for myself.
Anyway, I won't start ranting. I will wait for the doorbell to go and see how I get on. Does anyone else feel anxious about medication?
← Pilates for MS ………………..
Hope the drugs help. Sod those who say about costing so much. They were developed for a reason and anybody needing them should have access if there is the possibility they will help. To anybody complaining about cost, let's hope they didn't vote for a government that blocked access to off patent medication (which had the opportunity to save the NHS a lot of money) and some of whose members accept positions on boards of big pharma and accept money from lobbyists while not caring what their constituents best interests are. Worst case scenario, your dmt makes you feel bleurgh/ not help. Then you stop and try something else. Lots of choices out there now.

Just the News
...According to Me
Curran's Corner - STAR WARS DAY!!!!
Good morning and Happy Happy Friday!!
Congratulations - you made it through another week! Only 8 more hours of your daily grind until it's time to P-A-R-T-Y!! Or rest up and watch the kids. I don't know what you do with your free time. But I do know that Christmas is 1 week away so if you haven't yet, it would probably be a good time to start Christmas Shopping...or hit up the Amazon.com. That place is the bomb for Holiday needs and you don't have to sit through this awful Atlanta Traffic. Aside from that, nothing else going on except...STAR WARS! Not sure if I let on that I'm excited about that yet, but I'm going to be having a Huge Nerdgasm at 7 o'clock sharp tonight. Sorry Nicole.
I've been running these a bit longer over the last couple weeks, so I'll try my best to keep this one short and sweet. That, and I'm getting a bit of the ol Carpal Tunnel, just finished up my Fantasy Re-Cap which can be read below this post. So if you got the patience, a little bit of time and a fresh cup of coffee then read away my friends! Thanks again for your time and support and I hope you enjoy!
NFL -
Starting off where we always do, let's jump right into the good stuff - Football. A lot of good games to cover. Especially for me & CJ's Jags. Last week the Hometown Heroes faced off in a Division rivalry game against the reigning AFC South Champs the Indianapolis Colts, under the leadership of AARP member Matt Hasselbeck. Despite having no Luck, The Colts have still been winning big games recently - while the Jaguars are coming of a 2 game losing streak with any hopes of somehow sneaking into the playoffs resting solely on this game. The first half was nothing impressive with Jags trailing 9-13...but in the 2nd 1/2 Blake Bortles EXPLODED, leading the Jags to score 42 unanswered points!!!! Jags won in Epic Fashion, defeating those Ponies 51-16!! The single largest margin of victory and highest score in Jaguars History!
Fun Fact #1: Jacksonville's victory Sunday ended the Colts' 16-game winning streak in the AFC South - the longest division streak in NFL history.
Fun Fact #2: Blake Bortles currently has 30 TDs this season. He is just the 3rd QB in NFL history with 30+ passing TDs through 13 games in a season in their 1st or 2nd year. the other 2 QBs? Dan Marino & Kurt Warner.
Fun Fact #3: No one has thrown more TDs since week 5 than Bortles. He's Actually Tied with Brady. He also ranks as the 3rd QB this year in Passing TDs. Brady is 1st with 33, and Palmer is 2nd with 31.
Last bit about the Jags - with that win, and the loss from the Titans and the Texans last weekend, the Jags are right back in the hunt for the Playoffs!! Now in order for that to happen we have to win out, the Colts have to lose to the Texans and then one other game, and Tennessee has to beat the Texans in Week 16. It's a long shot, but there's a chance!!!!
Moving on, the Falcons are getting worse, believe it or not. They were DEMOLISHED this weekend by Cam Newton and Co 38-0. Granted, they did play the Superbowl Bound, undefeated Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, NC - but still. These guys have given up. Their next challenge is a fired up Jacksonville team playing with a purpose. Would not be surprised if this is the nail in the coffin for their season and I don't see this ending well for Head Coach Dan Quinn.
Next up: The Eagles. Looks like there's life in those Birds yet. With a 4th Quarter Field Goal, Philly's Finest took out the Mrs Sins' beloved Buffalo Bills to move to 6-7 - tied in their division for 1st place and their playoff hopes very much alive. As much as I despise the Eagles, have to give them credit - they're pulling it off. However they have a tough schedule a head facing the Cardinals this week, the 2 must win Division games against the Redskins & the Giants in order to make it. But since I'm being delusional & optimistic about my guys, I can't hate on Dugan & Meide for being hopeful about their Eagles as well.
Elsewhere in the NFL, Brady & Gronk took care of business taking out the Texans to regain #1 seed in the AFC. Russell Wilson continued to take his sexual frustrations out on the field, destroying the Ravens 35-6. And ol' Discount Double-Check Aaron Rodgers is back to his old ways dismantling the Cowboys with ease. Oh and the Broncos? Looks like the thrill is gone. Brock may not be the chosen one after all. His two game winning streak was abruptly ended in embarrassing fashion against Derrick Carr & the Oakland Raiders. It's not that surprising though, considering that Raiders Head Coach Jack Del Rio designed the Broncos defense himself while working there for the past few years before taking the job in Oakland. It also doesn't help that Broncos star Wide Receiver can't hold onto the ball. He leads the league in dropped passes with 9 so far this season.
Lastly, the Steelers vs Bengals match up. Big Ben vs The Red Rifle. Ogbaratta vs Musser. A Grudge match for AFC North dominance. A whole lot of history here - as well as a whole lot of hate. This sign says it all:
Heading it this game Bengals were leading the division with a 10-2 record, and the Steelers were fighting for a Wild Card spot with a record of 7-5. Not a must win for the Bengals but a "like-to-win" scenario. But everything changed when Bengals QB Andy Dalton went down with a broken thumb on his throwing hand, and Alabama Alum AJ Mccarron stepped in to lead the Bengals straight into hell, losing 33-20. Dalton returned to the field later with a Black Cast over his forearm and hand, but he was not cleared to play. In fact, Dalton's status is now week-to-week with a small chance he could return to save the team. But with Andy out, the AFC North landscape has changed...Steelers win out, and Bengals lose the next 3 then the Steelers head to the playoffs and the Bengals hopes may be squashed again. Sorry Pete (Congrats Gina!)
Fun Fact: An Alabama QB has not one a single game in the NFL since 1987. But apparently McCarron doesn't think that applies to him, seeing how after his loss to the Steelers last Sunday he compared himself to Tom Brady when he was thrust into the limelight with a Drew Bledsoe injury and Brady led the Patriots to win the Super Bowl in 2001. Yea, somebody check that guy for a concussion, he's not thinking straight.
Before I move on, here's the rest of the losers that can't catch this year:
BASEBALL -
While normally I don't cover this "sport", something happened this week (or didn't happen I should say) that is worth mentioning. Pete Rose is still banned from Major League Baseball. Yup, big news/non-news. Rose, who was banned from baseball in 1989 after the league's investigation into his gambling, applied for reinstatement for a second time in February (the 1st time being in 1997). MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Monday that he had rejected Rose's plea for reinstatement, citing that Rose is STILL gambling and more evidence surfacing that he bet on games when he was playing for the Cincinnati Reds. Based on talent alone, Rose would be Hall of Fame bound, finishing his career with 4,256 hits. However since he is a degenerate gambler that bet on the very sort he was playing and possibly games he was playing in/managing, he is banned from Baseball for life and cannot be in the Hall of Fame unless the ban is lifted. I bet he doesn't get back in...
You're probably thinking right about now - The Donald? as in Trump? What does he have to do with Sports? Not much, except that someone decided to Make the NFL Great Again and re-design every NFL Logo with the likeness of the Great Orange One. Check out the link earlier, they're pretty funny. Credit goes to Tace of Base for the heads up on this. My Favorite two:
and Da Bears
NERD NEWS
As previously mentioned, today is a big day for Nerds and Virgins everywhere - the New Star Wars comes out. And it's kinda a Big Deal. How Big? Prior to the first actual screenings which began Thursday at Midnight, Star Wars: The Force Awakens shattered fandango record sales, breaking the All-Time Ticketing Record before even being seen once. Basically the ADVANCE Ticket sales out-sold movie ticket sales for films that had their entire run in theaters already.
With all this hype and hoopla, of course there's those out there to ruin it for everyone. Angry Star Wars Extremists are threatening to spoil the movie for everyone by releasing the plot, twists and ending online after seeing the film unless their demands are met. They are calling themselves "The Alliance to Preserve the Expanded Universe" Their Demands? Besides the touch of a real woman? They want all their stories back. Basically when Disney bought Star Wars, Disney did away with any un-authorized "cannon" or as they call it the Expanded Universe - and they made some might mad nerds in the process. They're so mad at Disney and Star Wars, that they all bought tickets for Midnight so they could be the first to see it and then unleash their "spoil-jihadi" on the new movie, ruining it for other fans unless Disney agrees to continue the old EU (now dubbed Star Wars Legends) with new content. Kinda makes sense they'd revert to terrorist threats considering what the original Star Wars is basically about:
GAINESVILLE SMELLS LIKE PISS
According to recent reports, UF will now stand for Urine Football if Environmental Engineering Professor Treavor Boyer has his way. Boyer is proposing that The Swamp in Gainesville and all of the people attending the football games be part of a massive science experiment in sustainability. Basically he wants fertilize their field with urine. His idea is to stop streaming urine to a wastewater facility and collect the pee in giant vats at the stadium instead to then use to fertilize the field. "We know a can should get recycled. I don't think most people feel that way about urine, right? Most people don't urinate and be like 'That should have been recycled and recovered,'" he said. "My sort of vision of maybe a slightly skewed world that's what I want people to think about every time they urinate, like wow, those are nutrients that could have been saved and reused," he added. Gross. Go Gata?
CATS WILL KILL YOU - Especially at Christmas!!
Christmas is a time for giving, a time to reflect on the many blessings you have and spend your days with the ones you love. Unless you're in Iceland. There Christmas is a time for working hard, and getting new clothes so the scary as Yule Cat won't eat you. This Icelandic Christmas Myth was apparently devised as a way of enhancing productivity among the working class. According to the National Museum of Iceland, "It is likely that the Yule Cat myth was originally designed to urge farm workers to perform well prior to Christmas… Those who did not… [ended] up in the Yule Cat.". So workers who were deemed productive were given new clothing and thereby made safe from the Yule Cat. Those who were considered to be lazy however, were left without new clothes, and made vulnerable to the feral feline with a taste for human flesh. Basically like Garfield meets The Walking Dead. Merry Christmas?
FARTING MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER
Love Stinks Ladies. It's true. Well according to Cosmo it is. Yes the Women's magazine, claims that the Key to a great relationship (for Women) is Farting in front of your Boyfriend/lover. The article goes on to say that by lowering your guard and letting those Love Toots Loose, women can be themselves around their partner - Despite the fact that your place will now smell like the bathroom of a low-budget Mexican restaurant. Although it sounds crazy, there's alot of truth to it. Me and the misses let that guard down pretty early on (back when we were just roomates) and ever since I don't mind suffocating her with my Dead Liver Stinkers. She may regret it, but I sure don't. And look at us - hap hap happy as hell!!! We use a TON of Febreeze, but Happy none-the-less!!
MEME of The WEEK
Going to take a break from the norm this week and go off script. There was no stand-out Shame of the Week - but some good news on 2 fronts that needed to be shared so instead there will be 2 separate "Fame of the Week"s.
FAME of The WEEK #1
The Mussers
Turns out when he's not busy running over precious packages in his driving and cooking up some sweet meats with his man-friend Oggi, the Muss-buss has been,well busy gettin' busy. Yes, it turns out Mrs Musser was not satisfied with having one ridiculously good-looking baby so she decided to go ahead and make another! It has been Baby-Making time up here in Atlanta, and I'm excited to see our numbers grow! When the Apocolpyse comes, we're going to have quite the army on our hands. Congrats are definitely in order for the First Family of OTP - couldn't be happier for you all!!! Here's a quick peak into your Christmas future:
"El Toro" Dalrymple
All healed up from his Key West wounds, El Toro made his way back to work and realized that his job sucked. Seriously sucked. He's been doing a a few levels above his paygrade for months now with the promise of a promotion dangling out in front like a carrot on a stick. Although people were jumping ship left and right, he stuck it out and gave them the chance to make things right - but let them know they had til the years end to do so. With the writing on the wall that they were not going to show him the money and the year coming to a close, he made a move. Juggling interviews, negotiating terms and piting offers against each other, the Boy has become The MAN! El Toro officially accepted his new position with a company up in Alpharetta, landed a huge much deserved raise and reeled in a solid signing Bonus. He'll be starting the new year off on the right foot - at a job he fought for in a position he deserves. Hats off my man, damn proud of you!!
Well, that's about it. My best efforts failed and I still rambled on way too long - but thanks again for sticking around and I hope this helped to start your morning off right. Please comment or like below if you enjoyed - or leave a bit of feedback if you didn't. Either way is great with me.
If I don't see you before Christmas/Festivus/Kwanzaa/Hanukkah then be safe and be Merry. Have a great Holiday week, and as always - go Noles (And Jags!!)
Now Go Forth - Tackle the day, and May the Force Be With You!! (hehe)

We have recently noticed a large uptick in the use of foil applications on packaging. Foil is certainly not a new technique to packaging and now that it is trending we decided to feature a few of our past projects that demonstrate a few tricks and tips of how you can use foil to increase the perceived value of packaging.
This first post is obviously a bit biased with the example being our business cards. This example is to show how well gold foil stamping and spot UV compliment each other. Additionally, we applied foil to the card edges for an extra layer of customization..
ELWN has the right idea for creating eye-catching packaging at retail. While most companies run to copy the simplicity of Apple or Samsung packaging, ELWN uses bold foil imprints on their packaging to deliver messaging and grab attention when hanging on retail pegs in big box retail stores.
This packaging for Ernie Ball isn't as straight forward as a simple foil stamp on soft touch paper. There is actually quite a process behind what it takes to create this finished look on their newest packaging re-design. The whole process actually starts with a silver foil piece of paper and then the rose gold and classic gold color is printed on top as well as the other ink colors shown on the packaging. Once the ink is printed the entire surface is covered with a soft touch lamination and finally, we applied a spot uv to the foil areas to make them pop.
Foil can also be used to increase the rustic or heritage feeling of packaging as shown in the below examples. The classic gold and copper colors each lend themselves to creating an antique look for these boxes. We especially love the use of foil stamping on the Links & Kings belt box, the color and location lend itself well to creating a very high perceived value.

Trump tells Congress to follow him on Twitter for updates on war with Iran
Source: The Verge
After ordering the assassination of a top Iranian commander without giving notice to congressional leaders, President Trump has told Congress to follow him on Twitter for updates on his acts of war against Iran.
These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 5, 2020
Today's dramatic tweet from the president follows another issued on January 4th, in which Trump threatened the destruction of 52 Iranian targets, including cultural sites. (The targeting of cultural sites is considered a war crime.)
....hundreds of Iranian protesters. He was already attacking our Embassy, and preparing for additional hits in other locations. Iran has been nothing but problems for many years. Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have.....
Trump has long used Twitter to harass, insult, and demean his enemies, and as president, he has used the platform to issue surprise orders, announcements, and even threats against other nations like North Korea. In 2018, Trump fired Secretary of State Rex Tillerson by tweet. More generally, federal agencies have struggled to reckon with the president's use of Twitter during his administration, often wondering whether his mercurial pronouncements should be handled as official government policy.
Nonetheless, Trump's recent tweets are an improbable escalation of his use of the platform to incite geopolitical disorder and marginalize Congress. They may also signal illegal behaviour; according to Yale Law School processor Oona Hathaway, Trump "cannot notify Congress under the War Powers Resolution by tweet." (Trump also later posted the same message on Facebook.)
This tweet threatens to break several laws. First, the President cannot notify Congress under the War Powers Resolution by tweet. 1/ https://t.co/tf5m8gXzCh
— Oona Hathaway (@oonahathaway) January 5, 2020
Despite now threatening war on the service, Twitter is unlikely to take action against the president's account. In January 2018, Twitter declared that "blocking a world leader from Twitter or removing their controversial tweets would hide important information."

Nicolas Bossany, 9, works on his Picasso-inspired self-portrait Thursday at the Menomonie school district's summer school art camp at Menomonie High School. This class asked students what makes good art and challenged them to convey messages in their own art.
The A.I.M.-sponsored "Art Camp" invites teachers and children in the school district of Menomonie to explore different artistic avenues from visual arts to theater arts.
Painting large canvases in one of the camp's classes, students communicated messages about empathy and positive attitude. The large canvases will be hung in the school buildings for the entire school year for everyone to see.


One of the candle industry's most recognizable brands, Yankee Candle seeks enthusiastic employees to work within more than 500 company-owned retail stores to provide outstanding customer service and sales-oriented work.
Yankee Candle offers positions ranging from seasonal sales associate to store manager, which allows applicants to explore part-time, full-time, and seasonal entry-level opportunities. Seasonal positions prove especially ideal for college students and allow employment re-entry during summers and extended breaks. Most jobs require customer interaction, but some lie on the production side of operations and require little socializing.
The renowned retail chain puts an emphasis on employee interaction with customers. Upbeat, personable job prospects routinely receive encouragement to apply for sales associates positions, and if applicable, managerial positions. Sales associates who excel with outstanding customer service and sales abilities often land managerial positions after some time with the company. Hiring requirements for managerial roles may include high school diplomas and supervisory experience.
Sales Associate – Candidates filling sales associate positions take on the duties of selling products, providing guest services, assisting in merchandise restocking, and store maintenance. The retailer also expects crew members to maintain knowledge of products sold and promotions offered in order to assist customers. Yankee Candle values customer in-store experiences, so sales associates should exhibit "stage presence," by displaying personable and engaging attitudes at all times. Flexible schedules and abilities to lift 25 lbs. to 35 lbs. on a regular basis serve as musts for employment consideration. The average sales associate makes between $7.00 and $8.00 an hour.
Customer Service Rep – A position free of in-person interactions, customer service rep jobs still require team members to perform at high levels and exude friendliness and helpfulness via telephone calls, emails, and letters. Job hopefuls seeking entry-level, part-time work requiring a high school education should apply. Daily tasks include contacting customers, placing orders, reviewing gift certificates, and processing returns. The average customer service employee makes between $8.00 and $9.00 per hour.
Candle Maker – Candle maker jobs represent common positions for potentials with solid work histories and openness to receiving training. Responsibilities include packaging, assembling, and completing candle products. Candle makers must possess detail-oriented personalities and the ability to stand for up to eight hours at a time. Workers should also feel comfortable lifting up to 40 lbs. at a given time. A flexible schedule, including overtime, holiday, and weekend availability, remains a typical requirement for employment. Candle makers regularly enjoy hourly pay between $7.00 and $8.00.
Management – Full-time and part-time managerial positions offered at Yankee Candle require two to three years of prior supervisory experience. Selected workers may assume the titles retail of store manager or retail store assistant manager based on personal qualifications. Managers in both positions oversee daily sales, crew member performances, store appearance, and security. Managers also take responsibility for training employees and submitting cash reports and merchandise orders. A flexible schedule, including willingness to work extended hours, weekends, and holidays, also proves necessary for managerial careers. The average retail store assistant manager receives between $10.00 and $13.00 in hourly wages, while retail store managers enjoy annual salary rates between $34,000 and $52,000.
Job hopefuls should research Yankee Candle products, including the 150-plus scents and various products, before filling out job applications in order to demonstrate interest in the brand. Knowledge of what the retail chain sells displayed throughout the application and interviewing processes regularly leads to preferential treatment by recruitment staff. Personable demeanors also lead to hire, so practicing a pleasant attitude, eye contact, and listening skills prior to interviewing aid success. The company prefers candidates apply online, which allows for an accelerated reviewing process. Resumes and cover letters should also accompany submitted applications. The application process begins by clicking the Careers link at the bottom of the company homepage.

Full-time satellite retail team members prove eligible for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, short- and long-term disability, 401(k) plans, paid vacation time, and sick days.

I was pleasantly surprised by the recipes I've tried from Alex Hely-Hutchinson's 26 Grains. There is a lot of variety from the renowned porridge cafe. This, Roasted Sesame Veg with Pearl Barley and Cinnamon Dressing, was my first attempt. I chose it because it fit the bill for Meat Free Monday, but also because it was cheap and promised to be hearty, healthy and 'hygge'. The idea of roasted root veggies and pearl barley is a stodgy combo indeed. Carb on carb definitely doesn't meet my expectations of a 'clean-eating' cookbook', but it did feel healthy. Maybe it was *cough* portion control.
What a happy sight! Four lunchboxes filled with double carbs delight.
The dish itself was delicious. The comforting savoury blandness of the barley cooked with stock and onions. The rustic sweetness of the carrots, parsnips and onions. This dish is really made by the dressing, honey sweetness, cinnamon warmth, sesame nuttiness, sharp lime and pungent garlic. The acidity of the lime cuts through the sweetness of the roots. It really is delicious and not too much of a faff to cook. The barley cooks like a risotto that doesn't need constant stirring and the roots are just bunged in an oven. I made enough for four days but it reheats well. Although by Day 2 I was adding some leftover feta to cut through the sweetness, there aren't many dishes not made better by cheese. As a testimony to how much I enjoyed the roasted sesame veg – I've made it again less than a fortnight later.
One tip, keep the dressing separate till the last minute. It loses its potency once its soaked into all the stodge. Use a reused sauce pot from a kebabby takeaway or a little mason jar if you're that way inclined.

Contract Pharmacies and the 340B Drug Discount Program: New Litigation and an Advisory Opinion Point to Ongoing Skirmishes on the 340B Battlefield
By Kenneth Yood, Erica Kraus & Theresa Thompson
On December 11, 2020, five hospital groups, including the American Hospital Association ("AHA"), and an organization of hospital pharmacists representing participants in the 340B drug pricing program ("340B Program"), filed a federal lawsuit (the "340B Program Litigation") against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") over HHS' alleged failure to enforce 340B Program requirements that obligate pharmaceutical manufacturers to provide 340B Program prescription drug discounts to pharmacies contracted by 340B Program-participating hospitals to dispense 340B Program drugs.[1]
As discussed in detail in an earlier blog post, the 340B Program has long been a source of contention between pharmaceutical manufacturers and 340B Program-participating hospitals – called "covered entities" in the 340B Program. The 340B Program requires manufacturers to sell drugs to 340B-participating hospitals at deep discounts as a condition to Medicaid and Medicare Part B coverage of their outpatient drugs. Manufacturers contend that the 340B Program has been abused, particularly with respect to: (1) drugs sold at 340B Program discounts and also billed to Medicaid, and thus subject to separate rebates through the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, resulting in "duplicate discounts", and (2) drugs dispensed by third-party pharmacies contracted with 340B Program-participating hospitals (commonly referred to as, "contract pharmacies"), instead of by the hospitals directly, which manufacturers contend leads to diversion of drugs to individuals who are not hospital patients.
Based on these concerns, several large pharmaceutical manufacturers announced plans in fall 2020 to cease or limit sales of 340B Program discounted drugs to contract pharmacies, as well as to require increased data reporting to allow manufacturers to identify and avoid duplicate discounts. These announcements were met with indignation by 340B Program-participating hospitals, as well as a bipartisan group of lawmakers, arguing that these measures would be a method to skirt manufacturers' 340B Program obligations and impose unrealistic expectations on 340B Program-participating hospitals. The Health Resources and Services Administration ("HRSA"), the component of HHS responsible for administering the 340B Program, issued a statement on September 2, 2020, strongly encouraging manufacturers to continue selling discounted drugs to contract pharmacies. Nevertheless, HRSA did not take, and has not taken or threatened to take, any enforcement action against manufacturers for failing to do so, asserting that it lacks clear authority to do so.
This dispute came to a head with the 340B Program Litigation, which requests temporary and permanent injunctions directing HHS to require pharmaceutical manufacturers to provide 340B Program discounted drugs to contract pharmacies, and to refund the difference between what 340B Program participants paid for drugs and the 340B ceiling price for such drugs during the time that manufacturers refused to sell them. Plaintiffs argue that the 340B Program's authorizing statute clearly requires drug manufacturers to offer 340B Program drugs at mandated discounted prices as a condition of Medicaid and Medicare Part B coverage of their drugs, with no exception based on whether a 340B-participating hospital uses a contract pharmacy to dispense the drugs and no authority for manufacturers to impose such limitations, and that HRSA guidance is consistent with this position. Further, Plaintiffs argue that HRSA has authority to impose penalties on drug manufacturers that do not comply with this statutory requirement – for instance, by refusing to sell drugs at discounted prices based on a 340B Program-participating hospital's use of a contract pharmacy – and has nevertheless failed to do so, despite repeated requests, based on an erroneous assertion that it lacks authority.
Plaintiffs argue that HRSA's decision not to enforce penalties against drug manufacturers that cease or limit sales of 340B Program drugs to contract pharmacies constitutes a final agency action, and should be health unlawful as arbitrary and capricious and an abuse of discretion under the Administrative Procedure Act. In the alternative, Plaintiffs argue that HRSA has unreasonably delayed in its obligation to ensure that refunds are issued as related to the alleged overcharging. Plaintiffs also emphasize that both they and public health at-large are fundamentally threatened by the manufacturers' actions, which they contend prevent the 340B Program from appropriately functioning to contribute to affordable health care in underserved areas.
Notably, the 340B Program's authorizing statute provides no private right of action for Plaintiffs against drug manufacturers. Plaintiffs may also face an uphill battle in convincing the court that they have standing to compel government action where they are foreclosed from litigating directly. Nevertheless, Plaintiffs may have few alternatives for remedying the issue, in the face of HRSA's inaction, as manufacturers' restrictions for contract pharmacies may pose a serious threat to the operation and scope of the 340B program, as it has existed for two decades.
On December 30, 2020, possibly in response to the litigation, HHS released Advisory Opinion 20-06 ("Ad. Op. 20-06"), addressing contract pharmacies under the 340B Program. According to Ad. Op. 20-06, HHS acknowledges the numerous requests for a determination on the issue, and, in a win for hospitals, concludes that, "to the extent contract pharmacies are acting as agents of a covered entity, a drug manufacturer in the 340B Program is obligated to deliver its covered outpatient drugs to those contract pharmacies and to charge the covered entity no more than the 340B ceiling price for those drugs." HHS based its decision on the following:
The plain meaning of the 340B Program rules and regulations requires manufacturers to sell covered drugs to covered entities at or below the ceiling price, independent of whether the entity opts to use contract pharmacies to dispense drugs. According to Op. 20-06, "the core requirement of the 340B statute… is that manufacturers must 'offer' covered outpatient drugs at or below the ceiling price for 'purchase by' covered entities. This fundamental requirement is not qualified, restricted, or dependent on how the covered entity chooses to distribute the covered outpatient drugs."
Contract pharmacies have been an integral part of the 340B Program since its outset. "[A]t the outset of the 340B Program only approximately 500 out of 11,500 covered entities (less than 5 percent) used in-home pharmacies. This is not surprising: the Program is aimed at benefiting providers that are small, remote, resource-limited, receiving federal assistance, or serving disadvantaged populations. These are the poster children of providers that one would expect to lack an in-house pharmacy. To champion a policy, ungrounded in the language of the statute, that would foreclose 340B discounts to 95 percent of covered entities and foreclose discounts to the neediest of this cohort is inconsistent with purpose of the Program and common sense." (internal citations omitted).
HHS' longstanding interpretation of Section 340B reflects the plain language of the section by recognizing the use of contract pharmacies. "In 1996, HRSA… stated, '[i]t has been the Department's position that if a covered entity using contract pharmacy services requests to purchase a covered drug from a participating manufacturer, the statute directs the manufacturer to sell the drug at the discounted price.' … Here, contract-pharmacy arrangements have been utilized, and honored by manufacturers, since 1996 and earlier."
Manufacturers' rationale for precluding the use of contract pharmacies is not supported by the language of the statute and leads to absurd results. "The primary rationale offered for cutting off contract pharmacies—that such arrangements lead to a heightened risk of diversion and duplicate discounts—makes clear that manufacturers are attempting to circumvent section 340B's [audit] procedures for resolving disputes between manufacturers and covered entities…. Moreover, the Department specifically rejected this reasoning when issuing regulations regarding the calculation of the 340B ceiling price. In responding to a comment regarding perceived 340B violations, HRSA stated '[m]anufacturers cannot condition sale of a 340B drug at the 340B ceiling price because they have concerns or specific evidence of possible non-compliance by a covered entity.'"
For these reasons, HHS concludes in Ad. Op. 20-06 that 340B Program-participating hospitals are entitled to purchase covered outpatient drugs at no more than the 340B Program ceiling price, and manufacturers are required to offer covered outpatient drugs at no more than the 340B Program ceiling price, even if those covered entities use contract pharmacies to aid in distributing those drugs to their patients.
At first blush, Ad. Op. 20-06 may seem dispositive on the issues underlying the 340B Program Litigation and, in turn, render the litigation moot. However, this is far from the case. First, advisory opinions are not final agency action or final order, nor do they have the force or effect of law. Therefore, whereas a court judgement would be binding upon the litigants,, Ad. Op. 20-06 is not. Second, Ad. Op. 20-06 does not address a key aspect of the litigation – enforcement against manufacturers who fail to abide by HRSA's past guidance and the conclusions reached in Ad. Op. 20-06. So while HHS through Ad. Op. 20-06 advises manufacturers that they may not refuse to offer the ceiling price to covered entities, even when the covered entity at issue uses distribution systems involving contract pharmacies, Ad. Op. 20-06 is silent as to the enforcement mechanism that HHS will use to compel compliance.
The absence of enforcement language in Ad. Op. 20-06 was recognized by the AHA in its December 30, 2020 press release (the "Press Release") applauding Ad. Op. 20-06. In the Press Release, AHA noted that they now expect HRSA to, "take swift and decisive action to halt these pernicious tactics from drug companies and ensure that 340B drugs remain available and accessible to vulnerable communities across the country." AHA also called for HRSA to, "ensure that hospitals are made whole as a result of being denied appropriate discounts since these illegal practices began earlier this year."
Based upon the above and the positions taken by the other Plaintiffs, if HRSA does not proceed with action beyond the release of Ad. Op. 20-06, it seems unlikely that the 340B Program Litigation will be dropped anytime soon.
As always, stay tuned.
[1] On December 14, 2020, three days after the 340B Program Litigation commenced, attorneys general in 27 states and Washington, D.C. sent a letter to HHS urging HHS to hold accountable drug manufacturers that are, "unlawfully refusing to provide discounts to hospitals, federally qualified health centers and other providers that serve vulnerable patient populations through the 340B program."

AS the federal election looms next year, there is a multi-billion dollar blow-out in government spending on contracts which have not gone out for tender; and this spending has rapidly escalated in recent weeks and months.
The majority of the spending blow-out, which coincides with an escalation in outsourcing government work to external consultants – is for defence contracts.
Further, the rise in defence spending correlates with the departure of Stephen Smith as defence minister in the previous Rudd-Gillard-Rudd government and the advent of the Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison government, as does the overall jump in spending on consultants and procurement and the explosion in non-tendered contracts.
Analysis of Austender data by data-warehousing expert Greg Bean shows some $81 billion worth of government contracts have been amended. Around $5 billion of previous defence contracts were amended in just the week to August 29 alone. The total of amended defence contracts to August 29 is $57.7 billion.
The news of a massive contract blow-out follows revelations here that $74 billion, or 20 per cent of all Defence contracts, have been awarded directly to foreign defence companies – therefore escaping Australia's tax net – rather than to their local subsidiaries here.
It is important to note, says Bean of the escalating blow-out of contracts, that the figure of $81 billion represents the total value of contracts, not the value of the amendments. And while the data is difficult to break-down to establish the precise value of the amendments, it is in the many billions of dollars.
A spokesperson for the Department of Defence said all Defence procurements (including amendments) "are conducted in accordance with the Commonwealth Procurement Rules (CPRs).
"Contract amendments are therefore subject to the same requirements as new procurements, including the requirement to demonstrate value for money.
"Contracts for the acquisition and sustainment of major defence equipment are often long-term and require amendments to ensure that they remain current and meet Defence's policy and program objectives.
"Requests for tender contain mechanisms to govern contract amendments. These draft contracts often include options for additional goods and services, which when exercised are reported as contract amendments.
Greg Bean said last week the $81 billion dollar-value of contracts which had been amended was "almost 2.5 times larger than any prior year – with 2010 being around $30 billion – and we're only in August.
"Further, these 2018 amendments include amendments to massive contracts struck in 2017 ($10,152B), 2016 ($27,455B), 2015 ($7,147B) and 2013 ($7,255B).
"The number of contracts amended in May through August this year is massive when compared to the number amended in January through April.
While the cause of the explosion in no-tender contracts is unknown, part of the explanation for the rise in defence spending may be due to the commitment by former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to dramatically lift this country's role as an exporter of weapons.
He announced a $3.8 billion fund in January this year to boost foreign sales of Australian arms, although that spending was earmarked to offer loans to Australian weapons makers, so it is unclear whether there is a connection with the overall rise in defence spending as Greg Bean's Austender analysis covers foreign contractors. And the reason for the rise in no-tender contracts remains unclear.

Weekend TV Show Preview
After the party, reality for automakers
Published: Jan. 12, 2006 at 7:31 p.m. ET
Coming up on 'MarketWatch Weekend' for Jan. 14-15
NSANY
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Amid the promise of concept cars and shiny new models that grace every auto show, a sense of urgency dominated America's auto giants at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this year. Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp., once the leaders of the industry, have hit a patch of very bad road.
Ed Crane sat down with Ford F, -4.62% America's Chief Operating Officer Anne Stevens and GM's GM, -2.51% North American marketing chief, Mark LaNave, on the plan to win back Wall Street and car buyers everywhere.
Chrysler on a roll
When was the last time the nation's No. 3 automaker finished first? Chrysler DCX, was the only one of the Big Three to make money in 2005. Ed Crane asked Chief Executive Tom LaSorda what his company has been doing right.
Putting the pedal the metal for mileage
Last summer's soaring gas prices won't soon be forgotten. In fact, both environmental and economic issues are driving some consumers toward fuel-efficient vehicles large and small. At the Detroit auto show, it's clear that automakers are rushing to serve that market, including Nissan NSANY, -0.56%, Ford and Toyota Motor Corp. TM, -0.84%. Ed Crane takes peek at some of the new models, including the new hybrid Camry.
Safety goes sci-fi at Mercedes-Benz
The dashboard of the new Mercedes S-Class sedan is looking more like your kid's Xbox. Is it the next techno-miracle on the road safety? Ed Crane has a look at the new night-view technology.
Find out where to watch.
The remarkable thing about President George W. Bush wasn't that he was a horrible chief executive; it's that he was horrible in so many ways.

Q: R rugarch package. Error: parameters names do not match specification I'm working on a personal project in R with the aim of fitting some GARCH models to returns which are then used to estimate some risk measures on univariate financial time series.
To fit the univariate GARCH models I'm using the package 'rugarch'.
Now, I set-up a gjrGarch model with garchOrder=c(3,3) and armaOrder=c(3,3) in the ugarchspec and then, with ugarchfit I fitted the model. However, when it comes to get the forecasted values of mu and sigma with ugarchforecast I get the following error:
ugarchfilter-->error: parameters names do not match specification
Expected Parameters are: mu ar1 ar2 ar3 ma1 ma2 ma3 omega alpha1 alpha2 alpha3 beta1 beta2 beta3 gamma1 gamma2 gamma3
Error: Exiting

Does anybody know what it means and how to solve it?
This is the code I wrote:
for (i in 1:length(df_data_wd_15$Return))
{
  model=ugarchspec(variance.model=list(model='gjrGARCH', garchOrder=c(3,3)), mean.model=list(armaOrder=c(3,3), include.mean=TRUE), distribution.model='norm')
  modelfit=ugarchfit(spec=model, data=df_data_wd_15$Return[i:(i+199)])

  foref<-ugarchforecast(modelfit, n.ahead=2)

  mu_for[i]<-foref@forecast$seriesFor[1]
  sigma_for[i]<-foref@forecast$sigmaFor[1]
}

Thanks

A: A) Unfortunately, I can only help you with what the error means.
As the error messages states, modelfit doesn't contain the expected parameters, such that the forecast cannot be calculated. This could be the case when the solver in modelfit wasn't able to find a solution and fit coefficients.
You could check whether this is the case by printing modelfit and checking whether it looks empty. You could also double-check if that is truly where to problem lies by typing traceback() into your command prompt, which would show you in which line the error occurred.
B) How to solve the problem, or why the solver couldn't find a solution, I don't know. I suggest for you to (i) have a look at the specifications, to see whether there is something at odds there, or (ii) play around with the solver andsolver.control  options (see documentation for  ugarchfit), e.g. to allow multiple restarts.
