Dr Chris Ekpenyong, an engineer, who at 28, was the youngest member of the old Cross River State House of Assembly, was deputy governor of Akwa Ibom State between 1999 and 2005. Ekpenyong spoke to reporters on the crisis in Rivers State and other national issues. OLUKOREDE YISHAU was there.
2015 is getting close and the Nigerian political space seems to be experiencing some heat because of it. Is this good for our democracy?
Well, it depends on how your look at it or from which point you are coming from. No heat is good for anybody. So, the heat generated by 2015 cannot be good for our polity. But, don't also forget that the heat is all about politics. Politics comes with heat. I've experienced some myself. Such heats do not necessary burn down the nation. It has a way of cooling itself. We have had more scourching heats before. When it naturally cools, nobody remembers. So, these ones will certainly pass away. But never forget, there must be heat or else it is not politics, especially election politics. The problem is that the people are the furnace feeling the heat the more. Nobody is talking about development again. Some people, especially those with duties to perform for the people. They have left their duty post to concentrate more on heating up the polity in the name of the politics of 2015. This is not good for our democracy. That is why I think people should resign their appointments before venturing for elective offices; say one year to the time.
One of the areas feeling political heat now is Rivers State. A lot has happened there. Recently, the Southsouth leaders called on Governor Rotimi Amaechi to leave the PDP and have also taken a swipe at Northern Governors for visiting him. Are they right?
There are no rights or wrongs in politics – only interest. It is in the interest of those leaders to make their demand. So for them, it is okay. But we in the party are talking about reconciliation. How can reconciliation come when they talk like that? The leadership of the Southsouth People's Assembly (SSPA) is not the leadership of the Southsouth PDP, and should be careful not to conflict its role. By elementary definition, the SSPA is supposed to be non-partisan; for all people of the Southsouth; of every state, of every tribe and of every party affiliation. So why would they ask Governor Amaechi to leave the PDP? He is serving a suspension for which the PDP has set up a committee to probe him. Once the committee is through, it is the party, based on the recommendation that will decide his future in the party. I am sad our leaders do not know how to draw a line between their political interest and the general interest of the people. In the SSPA, most of the people there were not in the PDP as at 2003. So, they can't claim to be more PDP than President Jonathan who has been in the party since 1998. We are talking of reconciliation in the party. That is the way they should follow. Most of them are leaders we respect. We see them as elder statesmen and fathers and they should act like one. They should ensure Amaechi sits with the President to discuss and settle the issue so that the people of the Southsouth can take a common front into 2015. I believe they are just misunderstanding Amaechi. They need to sit with him, understand his position in the crisis and get him to understand our position as a people as well. They are the ones allowing Northern and Southwest governors and politicians to take advantage of the crisis and 'play' politics with it. They are the ones who see Amaechi as an enemy. When everybody brands you an enemy, you welcome anybody that says he is your friend. All of us need friends. Who among them would allow a minority in the House of Assembly to unseat him? In going to the Assembly, Amaechi was only safeguarding his position. Else, the kind of system we operate, he would have been gone by now and nothing will happen. I am talking from experience. So, I can safely say it was in defence of his governorship that he went there. If he didn't go, the five people would have impeached him that day and nothing will happen. Remember, the five sat with police protection for others to join them. So, the governor decided to go with his security aides to help the other 27 who were disadvantaged security wise to make them sit. I am not defending him. I am saying how we live in this country and why we do the things we do. We need our leaders to create a different system of doing things for us. Yet, they keep repeating the same old system making it impossible to do right. See the person the party has mandated to reconcile the 'warring' people, Governor Dickson. When did he join PDP? From his utterances, he is an interested party in the saga. What is wrong with people like Dr Alex Ekweume, Prof Jerry Gana, and General Abdulsalami Abubakar, several others who are neutral and will be respected across the nation?
Do you think the President should go back in 2015 since the current crisis is certainty about his intention to re-contest?
I am an ardent supporter of the President. He is my friend. He is my brother. He has a fair chance to get back because a lot of us want him back, especially those of us from the Southsouth. But truth be told, he needs to re-position his strategic political machinery to achieve results. The people manning the machine are making strategic mistakes every day and the President keeps being on the receiving end. He needs to re-strategies. He needs to leave politics and concentrate on service delivery, on power, infrastructural development, education, health and other areas. Let these things deliver 2015 for him. As a Southsouth person, I am not happy that Mr. President has done four years and the East West Road has not been completed and commissioned. As an Akwa Ibom person, I am not happy that my governor has spent his time and resources to support the President yet we do not have heavy federal presence in terms of projects and appointments. When the Good Governance Media Tour Team came, I am sure over 95 per cent of projects they inspected, appraised and applauded were Governor Akpabio's projects. That is not fair to us. I am not happy that the SSPA is not pushing and dialoguing with others for the revenue allocation formula to be changed. Recently, my governor advocated for a 50 per cent allocation to oil-bearing states. Have they taken this up? It is not about us producing a President. It is about us gaining from producing the President. I hope Mr. President is listening. Let the people around him give him space to think of how to make Nigerians love and desire him and 2015 will be a walk over for him.

You have 二 listed with the readings and translation of "one".
The fact it is underlined so it seems to be 二 but it is not.
Whoops! It's just because it's been underlined to show it's a hyperlink. Ignore my last comment.
Is there a one time download for gif files? And wouldn't it be better if you could lead people away from romanji even at this stage? Just a suggestion. I don't want to appear smug or something.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have never thought about a gif download pic packages and will consider it.
I agree to you that it is better to start using kana and kanji as soon as possible. But my philosophy is not to impose students how they should learn. It also seams that not everyone is able to properly read Japanese characters on their devices and I do not want to exclude them from using the site. This is why I decided to provide the kanji, the furigana and the romaji wherever possible although it significantly increases my work.
Do you have for jlpt n2?
The kanji 東 has the wrong link :> Thank you very much btw for this very helpful site!!
Thanks for pointing this out. The link now is pointing to the right kanji.
Thank you so much for this! Can't even read katakana and my exam is in two weeks. The pronunciation part really helped!
Very useful and helpful for beginners.
yeah… its very useful and helpfull to JLPT test.
So these are the new JLPT N5 kanjis?
Where are the kanjis like 石、糸、。。。?
Or was that elementary 1 stuff, and is not related to JLPT?
it helps me a lot! I love it!!!
I have passed the test!!! hontou ni arigatou gozaimashita!
DOumo arigatou gozaimasu, hontouni yakuni tachimasu.
I don't understand the difference between onyomi and kunyomi, .Which reading should I be studying to pass the exam?
Hi. Your website is very useful and I love it but I am confused by one thing. Not all the colored kanji in the N5 vocabulary list are are on the list of kanji to know for the N5. Which list should I follow for studying for the N5? Thank you.

Dominican Church
The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary or commonly known as the Dominican Church is the oldest church in Košice. In the first written document from 1303 it is mentioned as an already existing church. It was built around 1290. The oldest part of the church is the Romanesque nave with narrow windows. During the Baroque reconstruction they had been broadened into the present shape. The sanctuary is built in the Gothic style as well as the tower on the northern joint of the nave with the sanctuary. The 68 metres high conical tower is the highest in Košice.
After a big fire in 1556, the damaged church served as a store-house up to the beginning of the 18th century, when it was rebuilt in the Baroque style.
The interior is richly decorated with wall paintings. The ceiling was painted in the years 1750-1758 by Štefan Voroš. The main altar illustrates the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The altar of the Rosary Virgin Mary is also to be mentioned as it is believed that the Rosary is the idea of Saint Dominic, the founder of the Dominican Order. Paintings and statues in the church represent the most famous of numerous Dominican saints: Dominic de Guzman, Catherine of Siena, Thomas Aquinas or the Dominican nun Margaret, daughter of the King Béla IV.

Historic Site of the week
The Palazzo Colonna is a palatial block of buildings built in part over ruins of an old Roman Serapeum, and has belonged to the prestigious Colonna family for over twenty generations.
The first part of the palace dates from the 13th century, and tradition holds that the building hosted Dante in his visit to Rome. The first documentary mention notes that the property hosted Cardinal Giovanni and Giacomo Colonna in the 13th century. It was also home to Cardinal Oddone Colonna before he ascended to the papacy as Martin V (1417–1431).
With his passing, the palace was sacked during feuds, and the main property passed into the hands of the Della Rovere family. It returned to the Colonna family when Marcantonio I Colonna married Lucrezia Gara Franciotti Della Rovere, the niece of pope Julius II. The Colonna"s alliance to the Habsburg power, likely protected the palace from looting during the Sack of Rome (1527).
Starting with Filippo Colonna (1578–1639) many changes have refurbished and create a unitary complex around a central garden. Architects including Girolamo Rainaldi and Paolo Marucelli labored on specific projects. Only in the 17th and 18th centuries were the main facades completed. Much of this design was completed by Antonio del Grande (including the grand gallery), and Girolamo Fontana (decoration of gallery). In the 18th century, the long low facade designed by Nicola Michetti with later additions by Paolo Posi with taller corner blocks (facing Piazza Apostoli) was constructed recalls earlier structures resembling a fortification.
The main gallery (completed 1703) and the masterful Colonna art collection was acquired after 1650 by both the cardinal Girolamo I Colonna and his nephew the Connestabile Lorenzo Onofrio Colonna and includes works by Lorenzo Monaco, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Palma the Elder, Salviati, Bronzino, Tintoretto, Pietro da Cortona, Annibale Carracci (painting of The Beaneater), Guercino, Francesco Albani, Muziano and Guido Reni. Ceiling frescoes by Filippo Gherardi, Giovanni Coli, Sebastiano Ricci, and Giuseppe Bartolomeo Chiari celebrate the role of Marcantonio II Colonna in the battle of Lepanto (1571). The gallery is open to the public on Saturday mornings.
The older wing of the complex known as the Princess Isabelle"s apartments, but once housing Martin V"s library and palace, contains frescoes by Pinturicchio, Antonio Tempesta, Crescenzio Onofri, Giacinto Gimignani, and Carlo Cesi. It contains a collection of landscapes and genre scenes by painters like Gaspard Dughet, Caspar Van Wittel (Vanvitelli), and Jan Brueghel the Elder.
Along with the possessions of the Doria-Pamphilij and Pallavacini-Rospigliosi families, this is one of the largest private art collections in Rome.

Gaziantep, the sixth largest Turkish City, situated at the Turkish-Syrian border, had been dealing with a refugee crisis of epic proportions. The City, which has a population of 1.5 million, was pressured to absorb 300 thousand refugees. Such a rapid population boom threatened the survival of the millennia-old Gaziantep cultural heritage. I Mean It was hired to pronounce, protect, and promote the culture of the city.
Upon completion of the strategic process, we kicked off the design phase to create a holistic brand identity, which also included print and outdoor campaign. As a part of the mandate, first, we commissioned top photographers to capture the city's breathtaking vistas and most friendly faces. Then, we amalgamated those images with the insightful quotes we obtained from key stakeholders. The result was a highly authentic print and outdoor campaign, which helped raise awareness of the city's unique values.

Terry Thomas in 3D: Mega Man
Up to date, 3D has scouted and acknowledged Canadian CIS, NCAA and Prep athletes. This week's CDN featured player is 6'4 Guard/Forward Terry Thomas of the Island Storm, which plays in the National Basketball League.
Terry kicked off the NBL-Canada season impacting the game from all fronts with 22 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. He followed up this outstanding performance with 22+ points, 8+ rebounds and 5 steals in an additional 2 games. Terry is currently ranked #1 in NBL-Canada in Total Points and Total Steals. We got in touch with Mega Man himself and asked him to share his story and experience playing professional basketball:
Q: You made quite an impact in your last year of your CIS career with Ottawa under Coach Derouin. How was that experience?
"It was truly blessed to be playing with a great group of guys and an a coach like Jimmy Derouin. We still keep in touch. He knew my playing style and let me rock out."
Q: Only a select few of Canadians have consistently maintained a high level of performance in the National Basketball League of Canada. How would you rate your impact as a player in this league?
"I would rate my impact very high I work my ass of both ends of the ball I love turning defense into offence and I feel now teams have a hard time with players like myself.""
Q: After playing professional in a respected high-level league of Germany for Hamburg Towers (ProA).... how do you compare the experiences with that of the NBL Canada league and why you choose to come back?
"I am just humble to be playing still and I feel like I let my actions speak for myself. I love playing at home, but just being young and not understanding the business is why I came back. However, I wouldn't change anything because I've learned so much. Germany and the NBL-Canada are very respectful leagues and I'm just humble to be playing. I just try to do whatever I can to win for my team."
Q: Can you quickly reflect on your performance this past week as a second year player with the Island Storm?
"I'm having a great start to this season and I feel coach Joe and I are on the same page."
Q: In one word, describe Terry Thomas
"Humble."
Good luck Terry as 3D will be keeping an eye out for next year's FIBA International basketball competition. You can follow Mega Man and the Island Storm's season below:

Q: Skeletal animation in android with opengl I am trying to implement skeletal animation using opengl es2 in android. I have created a Joint class which stores the rotation, location, local matrix, world matrix and inverse bind pose matrix of the Bind pose and a JointState class which has the data per keyframe which include rotation, location, local matrix, world matrix and offset matrix. Everything looks fine but my rendering gives unexpected results. I have attached the code. Please help
Joint class

Come celebrate the end of the 2017 CrossFit Open with us TONIGHT during our CFJ Open Showdown! Doors will open at 4pm, bring a side dish or treat and a beverage of your choice! We look forward to seeing all of you here!
Big thanks to my wonderful judge <3 and DB for keeping me going!
Wod rx 16:48 i think. I was tryin to breathe after it was over.
Thanks Dennis and wife for keeping me going!
After completing this WOD, I did one more set calling it my "Sydney Set". Get your "Sydney Sets" in today folks!
WOD as Rx'd = 11:45…..make sure your lungs are ready for this one!
I second what Greg says. Great idea. Always get in a Sydney set!
General Strategy and Warm Up You are ready, we double and thruster alot!
CFJ here is a general strategy with some warm-up ideas if needed. Please know this is just a general write-up, adjust as you need, for you. Additionally there are multitudes of strategies on the web. Some great, some scary. Just remember, you know your body and how you have been training as of late. Do not over think this either. It is straight up work to be conducted at a high cardio respiratory rate with a moderate load and lots of reps of doubles (bodyweight technical energy consuming move).
General Strategy: Be smart and start out controlled. This is 10 RFT, not 3-5. As you always here me say, build into it. Consistency, pacing, smart sets and short breaks. Do not Redline too early as you can redline easily in this one and it takes time to recover. Especially in a hot amped crowded heat, do not get caught up in a rookie mistake and blow it out in your first 3rds running someone else's unknown pace.
Once you hit halfway, this is when you want to know you have a strong five left in you. Consistent rounds with the ability to close strong I believe is what will separate most and has thus far.
Some of you can and will go unbroken and really fast. If you can handle that pace and keep consistent rounds, then go for it.
Others will need smart sets and a good rep scheme. What I have observed working so far, 5 and 4 on the thrusters and 20 and 15 on the doubles. Please keep in mind if you are strong at thrusters, but not doubles it may be 9 thrusters and broken doubles or if weak at thrusters and strong at dubs it may be 5-4 and 35. Know your abilities and engine. If possible close hard on the last round or two unbroken if able.
Couple of other notes: Do not double under angry or frustrated. It makes it worse. As best as possible relax. RELAX.
Breath, Breath and Breath. Take a big composure breath before each set of doubles and thrusters. Do NOT hold your breath on thrusters. Breathe every rep while maintaining midline stabilization.
Get your Rack as ready as possible. 90 thrusters are double FRAN. The better the rack the better transfer of power form core to extremity elevating the bar.
Stretch your Achilles and calves and get them to feel bouncy and light.
Some of you today asked for a general warm-up to get ready for the 17.5 WOD with some common stretches we normally do.
Please know this is just one general method. Feel free to adjust times, moves etc..
**The Key is you actually perform a good warm up and activate your energy systems, create the needed mobility and feel ready to battle and battle hard, at a tough but maintainable pace. Practice the moves of the WOD, do not overdo. You will need to get a good heart and respiratory spike before you go into this. Get the body ready for the shock coming and ready to start processing.
Be smart when you start this one and build into it.
–if needed one more round of 3 and 20. Do not overdo here.
**Last OPEN WOD Crush IT!!
Okie you are amazing!!! Thank you for taking the time to write that 🙂 good luck cfj, team Sydney!!
Everyone in the evening class did an extra round for our sweet Sydney and the Sullivan family 🙂 thank you Greg for the idea!
Can't say how much I love this cfj family!

Another workout that exposed my lack of engine 🙂 excited for next year!
Did the Open workout at CrossFit Poipu in Kauai.
Thrusters were all unbroken if that really mattered on this one for me.


Some of my closest colleagues found it amusing that I of all people wrote passionately about the need for physicians to embrace humility and win the battle for the soul of American Medicine. "Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility. I chose the former and have seen no reason to change" is a Frank Lloyd Wright quotation that I used ironically at the start of one of my diatribes calling for physicians to undergo intense self-scrutiny, and my closest friend said he thought Wright could be speaking for me.
Nevertheless, there is a battle for the soul of American Medicine; I pontificated about it here http://thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2012/12/20/the-battle-for-the-souls-of-american-doctors/ and in a three part essay inspired by the English Olympics Opening Ceremony, which celebrated the National Health Service http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/the-olympics-doctors-nhs-transformation-and-heroes-why-the-difference-between-usa-and-uk/, http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/the-olympics-doctors-the-nhs-transformation-and-heroes-why-the-difference-between-the-usa-and-uk-part-ii/, http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/the-olympics-doctors-the-nhs-transformation-and-heroes-why-the-difference-between-the-usa-and-uk-part-iii/ These blogs drew the wrath of many practicing physicians, as did my blog post that attributed much of any personal or professional success to luck http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/does-luck-contribute-to-personal-success-2/.
The survival of Obama's Affordable Care Act has demolished the traditional business model of the American health insurance company, and it has been fascinating to watch them scramble to reinvent themselves. Some are buying bankrupt delivery systems and others are investing in providers and smartphone applications, but none of these tactics will work unless they can transform their corporate cultures. Read about the challenges here http://thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2012/07/22/health-insurers-the-affordable-care-act-extinction-or-reinvention/, here http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/health-plans-continue-to-struggle-to-reinvent-themselves/, and here http://kentbottles.blogspot.com/2012/03/technology-aetna-itriage-and-future-of.html.
Like everyone else I read Eric Topol's book and tried to keep track on Twitter of how digitizing a human being will revolutionize medicine. I reviewed two books on digital medicine http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/the-future-of-medicine-as-envisioned-by-topol-and-agus/, advised hospital executives to get with it http://www.hospitalimpact.org/index.php/2012/03/06/p4009#more4009, and wrote a summary of an iMedicine conference organized by medical students http://kentbottles.blogspot.com/2012/04/imedicine-influence-of-social-media-on.html.
Even though I have read at last count 19 books on happiness, I am always a little bit skeptical about the whole enterprise. I do find it fascinating that bronze medal winners are happier than silver medal winners and that winning the lottery often results in misery, but there is something wrongheaded about pursuing happiness as a goal. Viewing Stefan Sagmeister's The Happy Show at an art museum at the University of Pennsylvania inspired me to write a four part blog post on happiness: http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/musings-on-stefan-sagmeisters-the-happy-show/, http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/musings-on-stefan-sagmeister-the-happy-show-part-ii/, http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/musings-on-stefan-sagmeister-the-happy-show-part-iii/, http://kentbottles.blogspot.com/2012/05/musings-on-stefan-sagmeister-happy-show_21.html.
My skepticism about the whole subject made me write The Downsides of Trying Too Hard to Be Happy, which can be found here http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/the-downsides-of-trying-too-hard-to-be-happy-part-i/ and http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/the-downsides-of-trying-too-hard-to-be-happy-part-ii/. I just finished reading a new book by Oliver Burkeman titled The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking, which has reinforced and brought focus to my skepticism. I recommend it highly.
I spent much of 2012 running around the country giving keynotes, retreats, and seminars on the Affordable Care Act. I also enjoyed teaching another graduate class at the Thomas Jefferson School of Population Health on health policy and the structure of the American delivery system. My best blogs on this subject were on the demise of fee for service payments http://healthworkscollective.com/kent-bottles/70536/fee-service-really-dead, the Supreme Court decision upholding the individual mandate http://kentbottles.blogspot.com/2012/06/why-did-chief-justice-roberts-do-it.html, and the Medicaid expansion controversy http://www.thedoctorweighsin.com/the-scotus-the-ppaca-the-medicaid-expansion-decision/.
At the end of 2012 I was asked to predict what health care journalists should cover in 2013. My essay can be read here http://www.reportingonhealth.org/2012/11/15/kent-bottles-new-ideas-covering-health-care-2013. However, I must warn you that a far better way to understand health care in 2013 is to wander around twitter, read books and newspapers, and go to conferences in fields other than medicine. Join me in becoming an information flaneur.
We physicians like to think that we are really different from other workers. We physicians, perhaps thinking back to that medical school application essay we all wrote, really believe that we went into this career to simply help others. We physicians truly believe that we always put our patients first.
Because we sincerely believe all of the above, we are shocked when someone like Uwe Reinhardt points out that collectively we act just like any other worker in the economy. The classic 1986 letters between the Princeton professor Reinhardt and former New England Journal of Medicine editor Arnold Relman highlight the tension between how we think of ourselves and how we act.
This morning I was reminded of this battle for the soul of American medicine when I read two articles in the New York Times. On the front page an article titled "Quiet Doctor, Lavish Insider: A Parallel Life" describes how a well-respected neurologist at the University of Michigan capped off his successful academic career by cooperating with federal prosecutors to avoid charges in a Wall Street insider stock trading scandal.
The other article in the Times published on the same day was the obituary of Dr. William F. House who invented the cochlear implant.
"Neither the institute nor Dr. House made any money on the implant. He never sought a patent on any of his inventions, he said, because he did not want to restrict other researchers. A nephew, Dr. John House, the current president of the House institute, said his uncle had made the deal to license it to the 3M Company not for profit but simply to get it built by a reputable manufacturer.
A major challenge for 21st century American medicine is to cultivate the culture epitomized by Dr. House and avoid the mistakes of Dr. Gilman.
The 21st century challenge for the American health care delivery system is to deliver higher quality care for less money. Republican and Democratic experts agree that payment reform involving transitioning from fee-for-service to global, value-based systems is necessary for us to achieve that goal. Accountable care organizations (ACOs) are the new entities that will receive the new global payments and distribute them to the doctors, allied health professionals, hospitals, and post-acute care facilities that care for the patients; Medicare ACOs are being piloted under provisions in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Commercial ACOs are being developed by private insurance companies, hospitals, and physician groups.
Although fee-for-service does not have all of the above ideal attributes, it does have a long history of paying for medical care. Atul Gawande's fascinating description of how he negotiated for his first salary as an attending surgeon at Harvard includes a brief history of fee-for-service medicine. He starts with eighteenth century BC Babylon where surgeons got ten shekels for lifesaving operations on citizens and two shekels for the same operation on slaves and ends up with the standardized fee schedule that was developed in the 1980s to replace the "usual, customary, and reasonable fees" that insurance companies did not always find reasonable. Gawande's article is a good place to start understanding the strengths and weaknesses of this a la carte approach to paying doctors with its 600 page master fee schedule that lists what 24 different insurers pay for different services that Harvard physicians bill (http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2005/04/04/050404fa_fact).
While the concept of fee-for-service is relatively straightforward, the reality can be quite confusing for both patients and providers. Fee-for-service payments are constrained by CPT and ICD-9 rules that establish what can and cannot be billed for. Unlike normal consumer markets, the list price for a service is hard to pin down because the amount paid is negotiated between different insurers and providers. When a health reporter was told by her physician to obtain an expensive MRI to work up her migraine headaches, she experienced frustration trying to establish just how much the test would cost (http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Stories/2012/December/09/mri-cost-price-comparison-health-insurance.aspx). Her local hospital could not tell her how much it would cost; an academic medical center quoted her a price of $5,315 for an uninsured patient, but could not tell her what the price would be to her insurance company; an independent imaging center told her that the price would be $2,000 to $3,600 for an uninsured patient and about $600 to $1,200 for an insured patient. She finally got the scan at her local hospital and was surprised to get a bill for $7,468.
Fee-for-service also makes coordination of care across multiple providers and different settings difficult. Since the payments are limited to one provider performing one service, this arrangement leads to hospitalized patients receiving different bills from the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, the pathologist, the infectious disease consultant, the radiologist, and the respiratory therapist.
Replacing fee-for-service payments with global, value-based payment methods is the one proposed solution that both liberal and conservative health policy experts agree on. Ken Kizer, MD spoke for most health care policy experts when he stated at a recent American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting, "Payment reform is inevitable. Fee for service is dead." (http://thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2012/12/10/acos-we're-not-there-y/#more-55492) Health care experts are attracted to payment reform because of the estimated $200 to $600 billion savings over ten years (http://capsules.kaiserhealthnews.org/index.php/2012/12/report-payment-reform-leaves-docs-uneasy/).
Practicing physicians have not shown the same level of enthusiasm for the elimination of fee-for-service.
· Leaders who are acquiring the necessary tools and shifting the culture to deal with new payment systems.
· Leaders who understand the problem intellectually but have not embraced any solution.
· Leaders who are just waiting and hoping the problem goes away.
· Leaders who are trying to get their organizations acquired by others so they don't have to deal with the problem.
Blumberg's observations are spot on and match my impressions from talking with health care leaders from all over the country. I have met executives who belong in each of the four groups, and the smallest number in my experience resides in the proactive first category.
This gap between the health policy experts and practicing physicians and local health care leaders is worrisome. Even if Accountable Care Organizations paid by global, value-based payments are inevitable and the best possible solution to the unsustainable cost of American medicine, the reform enterprise will fail or flounder without an enormous cultural change by all the participants in this complicated and important endeavor.
One of the perks of giving keynotes all over the country is being able to hear what other health care leaders are saying without having to pay the conference fees. One of my major keynote themes is that everyone (patients, doctors, hospitals, employers, and health plans) will have to change in order to thrive during the current health care delivery system transformation.
Recently in Delray Beach, I stayed after my keynote to hear Florida Blue CEO Patrick Geraghty describe his first year of trying to change the Blue Cross/Blue Shield franchise to respond to health care reform. I have written elsewhere about the health plan response to the changing environment (http://thehealthcareblog.com/blog/2012/07/22/health-insurers-the-affordable-care-act-extinction-or-reinvention/), but Geraghty's speech highlighted how urgent and how difficult change can be when an industry business model is disrupted by federal legislation and market forces.
Geraghty has led the Blues effort in Florida to update their name, mission, vision, and values. Focus groups revealed that the new name Florida Blue was easier to say and communicated a less corporate, more friendly image than the old name Blue Cross Blue Shield which brought to mind adjectives such as corporate, distant, and expensive.
What I found most intriguing and revealing was how these new efforts are being translated into concrete tactics such as opening retail centers and partnering with Disney on a new innovation institute.
Partnerships with Disney include both a kids' center at the Disney World's Epcot and a new health care innovation institute. Geraghty said that the kids' center will feature health and wellness games and exhibits and that 500,000 visits a year can be anticipated. He was also happy that Disney chose Florida Blue to join GE, Johnson & Johnson, and Cisco as partners in the state of the art innovation center.
Geraghty described how his Accountable Care Organization (ACO) experiment with Baptist Health South Florida differed from the federal Medicare Shared Savings Program. By reducing the 64 quality metrics in the federal program to 15, he believes they have created a more flexible and workable model.
Florida Blue seems to be responding to this new retail challenge with imagination and focus. Time will tell if they are successful in becoming an effective and trusted partner to patients and providers in a transformed clinical delivery system.
These four examples of health plans trying to create new business models for the 21st century offer a window into the complicated and evolving health care environment that is creating anxiety and opportunity for everyone involved in the industry.
I went to medical school in Cleveland and did myj pathology residency in San Francisco at UCSF. I was on the medical school faculty at UCSF, Iowa, Allegheny University of the Health Sciences, and Michigan State.
Since leaving academic medicine, I have worked at a bio-tech start up in Cambridge, an educational and research institute in Grand Rapids, a $2 billion integrated delivery system in Iowa, and an evidence-based medicine consortium in Minneapolis.
In my experience physician executive positions do not always last a long time because the environment changes, my career aspirations changed, and getting the job done sometimes means alienating enough people to get in the way of long job tenure.
My main professional roles have included: medical school pathology course master, surgical pathologist, division head, vice chair of academic department, chair of academic department, medical director of managed care, corporate operations officer of ambulatory care, special assistant to the president of a big ten university for managed care, search consultant, chief knowledge officer of a genomics bio-tech start up, president and ceo of an educational consortium, chief medical officer of a delivery system, president and ceo of an evidence based medicine institute, and health policy professor at a school of population health.
My only educational credentials are a bachelor's degree in history and a MD degree. Although I have taught in MBA programs, I do not have a MBA degree. Although I headed up a genomics repository of DNA, I had to teach myself genomics and proteomics on my own. Although I teach health policy and population health, I did formally study these subjects. I have discovered that if I read a lot, go to conferences in different fields, and talk to smart people, I can pick up what I need to know without going on to obtain lots of graduate degrees.
I am amazed at how much I am able to keep up with payment reform, federal health care reform, and major trends just by reading these two newspapers every day. It is also good to see how liberals and conservatives interpret the same story, often with dramatically different conclusions.
Twitter has become the most important technology in my career as a physician executive. I follow about 2000 key opinion leaders in health care, and about 7000 people follow me.
I received responses from all over the world that formed the basis for my all day seminar that was well received and consisted of concrete examples of medical educators from the Cleveland Clinic to the UK using twitter and facebook in ways I had never imagined.
An important point here is that it is now my obligation to my social media community of practice to provide knowledge to others when they are reaching out for assistance.
When I started out in leadership roles, I did not always trust my own judgment. I sometimes thought I was not smart enough to grasp situations that made no sense to me.
When I was Interim Head of pathology at Iowa, I thought my lack of training in clinical pathology was the reason I could not understand the classification of all the technologists in the hospital labs. It took a while to grasp that job classifications and titles had multiplied and proliferated in a way that did not serve us well in a changing health care environment. It was only when I truly understood that the system did not make sense that I could lead a simplification of job titles that made more sense in that time of managed care.
I will never forget going to a meeting in Palm Springs of venture capitalists. What made them different from others I had encountered was their skepticism and insistence that they understand how start-up companies would make money. If they could not understand the business plan, they did not invest.
A successful entrepreneur in Iowa taught me that failure is inevitable. The trick is to recognize when you have failed, learn from it, and move on as quickly and cheaply as possible. When I was helping to raise $36 million dollars for a genomics company, I was amazed to learn from venture capitalists that they do not try to predict winners and losers. They do not think it is possible. When they invest in 20 companies, they are hoping that one of them will be a Google or apple. They fully expect the others to fail.
I have noticed that health care organizations have a hard time killing programs that are simply not working.
When I graduated from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine in 1980, there was no Internet, no Google, no disease called AIDS, and no smartphones. You must continue to learn about the world you live in, and the world will continue to change in amazing and confusing ways.
Read Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman's book Thinking, Fast and Slow; you will understand why you and those you work with are often irrational and annoying.
The gap between the perceived reputation of America's "best" hospitals and medical schools and their performance on an evidence-based medicine report card provides an interesting lens through which to understand the role and performance of America's academic medical centers in the 21st century.
A recent report from the Lucien Institute at the National Patient Safety Foundation describes the kind of culture required to achieve the goals of the triple aim.
The Association of American Medical Colleges survey on medical school culture reveals a culture that does little to encourage trust and transparency. From 2004 to 2008, 12.7% to 16.7% of students reported being publicly belittled or humiliated. The best program for implementing a culture of safety I have seen did not originate in an academic medical center; it was developed and implemented at the Sentara Healthcare System in Virginia.
Academic medical center hospitals often save the lives of patients with complicated conditions who benefit from cutting edge treatments supported by basic science research. However, it is revealing that the community Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, Maryland made the Joint Commission's list of "top performers" and the famed Johns Hopkins did not do as well on the quality scoring report card.
When it comes to choosing a hospital, patients should take into account quality report cards as well as reputation.


This Italian Honey Base is a very vigorous and prolific grower. (cluster pic is of mother tree) This stick has been rooting all winter in a 4x13" treepot. There are currently no indications of figs. It may have a set later in this season or next summer. The growing section is 1" thick, by 7" above soil line. Many buds are pushing growth.

1 de cada 5 soldados enviados a la guerra se divorcia
seguadmin diciembre 29, 2004 No hay comentarios
HOPKINSVILLE, Kentucky (AP) — When Sgt. Jose Bermudez returned from Iraq early this year, he came home to a new baby and a troubled marriage.
«We were on the brink of divorce,» Mandy Bermudez acknowledged as the couple ate lunch recently with their three children, all under age 3.
The Bermudezes were among 300 couples with the Fort Campbell-based 101st Airborne Division who have attended «marriage enrichment» seminars put on by the Army in hopes of saving war-ravaged relationships.
With studies showing divorce rates as high as 21 percent among couples where one spouse has been sent off to war, the Army is spending $2 million on a variety of marriage programs, including vouchers for romantic getaways to places like the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee.
«I've been in the Army 20 years, and I've never seen the Army pay for programs like this,» said Lt. Col. Chester Egert, chaplain for the 101st.
One program being implemented Army-wide teaches couples forgiveness and the skills to communicate. It includes a 40-hour course with lessons on the dangers of alcohol and tobacco and how to recognize post-traumatic stress. Soldiers who complete it are rewarded with promotion points and a weekend retreat with their spouse.
«If you learn those skills, you can make an impact on the number of divorces, and the number, we think, of reports of physical violence,» said Col. Glen Bloomstrom, director of ministry initiatives for the Chief of Chaplains.
To make the program more desirable, commanders are encouraged to give their soldiers time off to attend. Baby-sitting is often provided.
«What we're trying to do is change the culture, that it's OK to work on your marriage and take some time, and invest in your lifelong relationship — especially now when we're asking so much of your military spouses,» Bloomstrom said.
Jose Bermudez said it seems as if everyone he knows at Fort Campbell is either getting a divorce or contemplating one. Many couples want to get things decided because the division has been alerted it could return to Iraq as early as mid-2005.
At Fort Campbell and elsewhere, many couples got married right before one spouse left for Iraq. Others, like the Bermudezes, have been married longer but still have spent little time together.
The Bermudezes met in 2000 and married six months later. He was later sent off to Kosovo and Iraq. «We didn't know each other that well. That's part of the problem,» Mandy Bermudez said.
Bermudez is 26, his wife 25. Their second child was born while he was in Iraq, and she became pregnant with the third while he was home on a two-week leave.
Mandy Bermudez said part of the problem with their marriage was that he had trouble adjusting to the routine she had established for herself while he was in Iraq. Finding affordable day care has also been a major source of stress, she said.
She said the two joined a church, and «it turned our marriage around.» He and his wife decided to stay together.
«I can't leave these three kids with her,» Jose Bermudez said. «It's worth it to try and work it out.»
The Army's recent foray into marriage counseling was started in the late 1990s by a chaplain in Hawaii working with a unit with a high number of divorces. In 2001, laws were changed to allow the Army to pay for lodging and meals for the retreats.
The effort is similar to another series of Army programs to help returning soldiers reconnect emotionally with spouses and children. Those programs began after four wives at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, were killed, allegedly by their soldier husbands, in 2002.
Egert said the Army's effort doesn't just make for stronger families — it makes for better soldiers.
«Soldiers will come apart in Afghanistan and Iraq. They'll absolutely collapse if they think their wife is going to leave them or their husband is going to leave them,» Egert said. «I've seen soldiers hospitalized because they absolutely had a nervous breakdown because they were worried about their families.»
Added Bloomstrom: «You are really giving something that the couples know they need, at a time they may be receptive to hear it.»

Charlize Theron (7.8.1975)
Charlize Theron is an Academy Award winning actress from South Africa. She became an American citizen in 2007.
Childhood: Charlize Theron was born to Gerda and Charles Theron, in Benoni, South Africa. She is of French and German descent. Charlize's first language is Afrikaans but also speaks English and some Zulu.
Theron was raised on her parents' farm near Johannesburg and she attended Putfontein Primary School. At 13 years old, she was sent to boarding school, where she began her studies at the National School of the Arts in Johannesburg. Two years later, Charlize would witness the death of her father. He was an abusive alcoholic and Gerda shot him in self-defence when he tried to attack her. No charges were brought against Gerda.
When she was 16, Charlize Theron travelled to Milan, Italy to complete a one-year modeling contract that she had won in a local competition. When the year was up, she moved to New York and signed to Pauline's Model Management. Whilst in New York, Theron attended the Joffrey Ballet School, though her dancing career was scuppered when she injured her knee at the age of 19.
Charlize Theron then moved to Los Angeles, where her path into acting took an unusual course. When a bank teller refused to cash a cheque that her mother had sent her, Charlize entered into a shouting match with the teller. A talent agent happened to be in the queue behind her at the bank, and handed her a business card.
The agent briefly worked as her manager but she soon fired him, as he was sending her scripts for films similar to Showgirls and Species. It was eight months into her stay in Los Angeles before she got her first film role. It was a non-speaking part in Children of the Corn III, which went straight to video.
However, more significant roles soon followed. In 1997, she appeared in Devil's Advocate, alongside Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino and the following year, she starred in Mighty Joe Young opposite Bill Paxton.
In 1999, Charlize Theron earned her first taste of Academy Award success when she appeared in the award-winning film The Cider House Rules. Although Theron herself was not nominated, the film was nominated for Best Picture (among other awards) and Michael Caine won Best Actor in a Supporting Role. The film also starred Erykah Badu, Tobey Maguire and Paul Rudd. Later that year, Vanity Fair magazine put Charlize Theron on the cover, dubbing her the 'White Hot Venus'.
In 2002, she worked alongside Courtney Love, Kevin Bacon and Dakota Fanning in Trapped.
A pivotal moment in Charlize Theron's career came in 2003 when she played Aileen Wuornos in Monster, based on the true story of a serial killer. In the film, Christina Ricci plays her lover. Theron won the Best Actress Oscar at the 76th Academy Awards, becoming the first African to win an Oscar. The win catapulted her Hollywood status and as a consequence, she earned $10 million for her next two films, North Country (with Frances McDormand, Sissy Spacek and Woody Harrelson) and Aeon Flux (a science fiction action film starring Sophie Okonedo and Jonny Lee Miller). She joined the ranks of Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Drew Barrymore as one of the highest paid actresses in the US film industry.
In September 2005, Charlize Theron was granted her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In the third series of the acclaimed comedy show Arrested Development, Charlize Theron played the role of Rita, Michael Bluth's (Jason Bateman) love interest. The series also starred Portia de Rossi and Michael Cera.
Charlize Theron received Golden Globe and Emmy nominations for her role as Britt Ekland in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. The title role was played by Geoffrey Rush.
2008 saw Theron star alongside Will Smith in Hancock, which grossed almost $400 million across the world. Later that year, she was asked by Ban Ki-Moon to become a UN Messenger of Peace. It was also reported that Charlize Theron would star alongside Nicole Kidman in The Danish Girl, the story of the first known person to undergo sex reassignment surgery.
Personal Life: Charlize Theron lives in Los Angeles with her boyfriend Stuart Townsend.

Why Charlize Theron Put On 50 Pounds For Her Latest Role
By Holly Williams in Movies / TV / Theatre on 25 April 2018
She wanted to show parenthood how it really is.
Charlize Theron isn't a stranger to dramatic transformations for film roles; it's what won her an Academy Award back in 2004; but she's taken that aesthetic even further with her latest film 'Tully' which sees her star as an overwhelmed and, indeed, overweight mother of three.
Charlize Theron at the premiere of 'Tully'
The 42-year-old made the brave decision to gain almost fifty pounds to portray protagonist Marlo in the movie, because she wanted to be accurate when it came to the struggles real mothers go through when they don't have the money for a private chef and personal trainer.

Charlize Theron Reveals Depression After Weight Gain For 'Tully' Film Role
By Ed Biggs in Movies / TV / Theatre on 19 April 2018
Theron had to put on 50lbs for her role in new film 'Tully'.
Charlize Theron has revealed how she was "hit pretty hard with depression" after gaining 50 lbs in weight through eating lots of junk food for a new film role.
The 42 year old actress's latest movie part is one of the leads in Tully, where she plays an overwhelmed and stressed mother of three, a part for which she had to gain over three and a half stones. To this end, Theron had to stick to a diet of eating unhealthy, high-fat food – even forcing herself to wake up in the night to eat.
She told Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday (April 18th): "I would literally wake up at two in the morning and I'd have a cup of cold macaroni and cheese just next to me. I would wake up and I would just eat it… I would just, like, shove it in my throat. It's hard to maintain that weight."

Charlize Theron Reveals She Co-Parents Her Kids With Her Mom
By Ed Biggs in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 12 April 2018
Theron is mother to two adopted kids - six year old Jackson and two year old August.
Charlize Theron has revealed that she is co-parenting her two children with her mother, Gerda Maritz.
The Mad Max: Fury Road star, 42, is raising her two adopted children, six year old Jackson and two year old August, the latter of whom she brought home in July 2015, a month after she broke up from her last relationship with actor Sean Penn. However, she's not being doing it all solo, revealing that her mom frequently helps deal with the ordeals of parenthood to young children.
"I knew that I would have to have my mom help me if I was going to do this as a single parent," Theron admitted in a new interview with Elle magazine, for its May cover story. "To not acknowledge her in co-parenting my children would be a lie… I would feel pretty alone if I didn't have a partner in crime in all of this."

Charlize Theron's Mother Scored Her Some Medical Marijuana
By Holly Mosley in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 09 March 2018
What are parents for anyway?
Most parents tend to spend their lives discouraging their kids from taking drugs, but for Charlize Theron, it's her mother that keeps her supplied. It's far from a recreational activity however; the actress takes marijuana as a sedative and buys it legally in Los Angeles. Still, way to go, mom!
Charlize Theron at the premiere of 'Gringo'
The 42-year-old was talking about her new film 'Gringo' on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', a forthcoming comedy about a new medical marijuana pill, when she opened up about her experiences with the drug - both in the past and in the present.

Charlize Theron Beat Herself Up Making Atomic Blonde
By Rich Cline in Movies / TV / Theatre on 11 August 2017
Charlize Theron talks training for Atomic Blonde
After winning an Oscar for Monster in 2003, Charlize Theron has mixed serious roles with increasingly ambitious action movies, hitting the big time with the 2015 blockbuster Mad Max: Fury Road and this year's The Fate of the Furious. And now she's starring in and producing her own kick-ass thriller Atomic Blonde, saying that "physical storytelling" is in her blood.
"I think it's the ballerina in me, the fact that I started as a dancer," she explains. "I'm not interested in doing stupid things, but I am interested in learning new things."

Atomic Blonde Review
From the co-director of John Wick, this similarly styled action romp puts Charlize Theron front and centre as an unstoppable government operative. Set during the Cold War, it has buckets of visual panache, with eye-popping action choreography that makes it a guilty pleasure. If only that much attention had been given to the script, because both the characters and plot feel naggingly thin, never making the most of the people or places.
The film opens in 1989 London, as top MI6 spy Lorraine (Theron) recounts her recent mission to her British and American superiors (Toby Jones and John Goodman). Sent to Berlin just before the wall comes down, her main job is to discover what happened to a secret list of agents that was being held by a murdered colleague. In East Germany, she makes contact with David (James McAvoy), a fellow agent who has gone native, a little too deep undercover as a black market smuggler. While tracking down this elusive list, Lorraine meets a nervous Stasi officer (Eddie Marsan) desperate to defect to the west, and she faces off against a KGB boss (Roland Moller) with slash-and-burn tactics. And then there's the French spy Delphine (Sofia Boutella), with whom she enjoys rather more than a professional coupling.
