Home Article Bid data: Providers go behind the numbers
Bid data: Providers go behind the numbers
By Liz Beaulieu, Editor
Updated Fri February 17, 2012
Ever since Prof. Peter Cramton came out with an analysis of Medicare data that showed a 60% to 80% drop in the number of claims for HME in Round 1 competitive bidding areas, I've been wondering: How is that possible? I mean, 80%?!?!
It turns out it is possible, and there are a myriad of reasons why, the least of which is—ahem, CMS— a reduction in fraud and abuse. If you want proof that competitive bidding has made a mess of the DME benefit, read on.
Unsolicited, several providers emailed me reasons why they think the number of claims have fallen off a cliff in bid areas.
One provider emailed me these reasons:
Contracted suppliers not able to get documentation/CMNs/written orders are delivering items but not submitting claims. This would be because the incumbent DME supplier had a good relationship with "the person" that got all the documentation before and the contracted suppliers have no relationship with the referring physician's office.
Suppliers aren't "making" orders "happen." Example: A contracted supplier gets an order for a PWC but all the required elements are not present. The contracted supplier employs fewer "sales" staff than before (getting paid less, someone had to go) so rather than sending a person to the doc's office, they send a fax or make a call. The doc's office sends some more stuff over but not enough to qualify the patient. The contracted supplier's business is up 30% (in units) so they do not chase orders as hard and the beneficiary never gets the PWC.
Referral sources have long wait times and are either not ordering products or suggesting patients "find it on their own." For example, a doc used to "arrange" orders for oxygen by calling the DME provider, getting saturations over to the DME provider, etc. But the two DME providers they used to use are not contracted. So now the doc hands the beneficiary a 4"x4" script and tells them to go to www.medicare.gov and find a supplier. Which never happens.
Another provider, John Reed, formerly of Pro2 Respiratory and now of Central Ohio Specialty Care, emailed me these reasons:
Claims for the period Jan. 1, 2011, through Sept. 30, 2011, for any "contract winner" who was being acquired by another company like Lincare or Apria among many others would have been "held and not submitted" until CMS approved novation agreements around the conditions of acquisition. These acquisitions were taking as long as 12 months for CMS to review and approve. Lincare reported in its second quarter, 2011, release that it had acquired companies in eight of nine Round 1 markets and were still awaiting approval of those agreements as of June 30, 2011. A conspiracy theorist might even suggest that the novation agreement timeline was deliberately lengthened to allow for such claims reduction totals.
A large number of "contract losers" (if not every non-contract supplier) continued to take on new Medicare referrals believing that the unbiased work of 244 economists would support an eventual repeal or delay. This condition occurred well into 2011, possibly through the entire nine-month period analyzed by Dr. Cramton. The suppliers would "delay" requesting Medicare CMN forms from physicians and delay billing until the repeal occurred.
A large amount of subcontract activity delayed the traditional revenue cycle for processing these claims. Managing execution was weak in many areas as non-contract suppliers or out-of-area contract winners struggled to efficiently establish and manage the fundamental subcontractor arrangement.
Contract suppliers, especially out of area, were actively seeking a buyer, while developing subcontractor agreements, thus multiplying the effects above.
The number of patients shifting from traditional to Medicare Advantage plans continues to grow. Cincinnati, for example, has about 30% of Medicare beneficiaries in managed Medicare plans that were unaffected by Round 1 rules. In late 2010, many companies actively worked to protect their affected patient bases by helping patients about to be impacted by Round 1 into Managed Medicare plans not controlled by the Round 1 rules.
Anytime a beneficiary changed suppliers, a physician was required to complete a new CMN, resulting in a flood of hitting their offices. The combination of delays due to acquisitions as described above, due to transfers of service, or due to new services from suppliers otherwise unknown in a Round 1 area, subsequently caused delays in processed claims to the Medicare program. These will eventually be gathered and submitted prior to Dec. 31, 2012, by the supplier.
So there you have it. It's much more complicated than you or I or, most importantly, CMS expected.
But I guess, as far as CMS is concerned, it's much easier to explain everything away under the veil of fraud and abuse.

In April of 1904, Father Charles Watterson was appointed by Bishop Hartley to undertake the joyous task of organizing a new parish. It was under this first pastor that the parish saw its first church and school building, a combined building also housing quarters for the nuns who would be teaching here.
The first Mass was held in the Old Armory and on March 12, 1905, the single building combining the Church and the school was completed and the school doors opened September 5th of that same year. The school offered commercial courses as well as a standard curriculum that went through the 12th grade. The Dominican Sisters of Mary of the Springs greeted classes totaling one hundred and fifteen students. In 1931, the high school and commercial courses were discontinued and students who wanted to continue to high school had to attend either Saint Francis DeSales on the other side of Newark or the public school system. The Dominican Sisters served our school until the late 70s, then the toll of declining vocations made "Our Good Sisters" but a memory for those who had the privilege of knowing their dedication and love. In 1953 there was a need for extra classroom space which was found by converting a used substation for the Telephone Company and eventually another building was built to house the upper four grades. In the 1940s, the enrollment at Blessed Sacrament School rose to over 200 pupils.
The original church would suffice for a while, but because of the foresight of our founding pastor, who immediately started a building fund with the estate of Mrs. Mary Walsh, a new church building was erected under the direction of Father John Byrne and was dedicated on January 28, 1942. The church was actually completed by Christmas of 1941 and permission was given by the Bishop for Christmas Mass to be celebrated in the new church, although the dedication would come later. A new school was built by Father Richard Crasser in 1957.
In 1997, under the direction of Father Timothy Hayes, the parish established a Future Planning committee. It was the dream of many that a new school be built with additional parking to accommodate the parish and school community. The Building Committee sought the services of Garry McAnally of Wachtel and McAnally Architects and the plans for a new school were approved on January 21, 2003 by Bishop James Griffin. Mac Kennedy of McClain Development Company began construction on October 12, 2003. A time capsule was discovered in the cornerstone of the Watterson Building with artifacts and memorabilia of the community that built our original church exactly 100 years earlier.
The Schaffer Building was demolished in the summer of 2004. The students, staff, and alumni gathered memories of generations of students, and placed a new time capsule in the cornerstone of the Centennial Building. As the new building was under construction, students in the upper grades attended their classes in the religious education classrooms of Christ United Methodist Church, next door to Blessed Sacrament. The Centennial Building was completed and classes began there in April 2005. In August of the new school year, grades K through 8 were all under one roof, and the visionary leadership of Bishop Frederick Campbell, Pastor Father Timothy Hayes and Principal Mrs. Mary Packham.
Father Timothy Hayes, after many years of service to our parish and school, ended his pastorate in July of 2008. During this month, our new pastor was announced: Father Johnathan Wilson. Father Wilson is current pastor and Mrs. Mary Packham is our current principal.
The Centennial Building has been an important addition to our parish. Besides being our new school, it has become a primary venue in the life of our parish, serving many functions for our religious community at large. Many parish organizations, religious education activities, youth groups, fundraisers, and community-building activities are regularly housed in and on the school grounds. Our students, staff and parish have taken great pride in our school's new state-of-the-art home.
Our school continues to grow and change, and many new exciting opportunities and prospects are on the horizon. We have been a presence on the east side of Newark since 1905 and we look forward to another hundred years. May future generations of students, staff and all who made this school possible look with honor and respect to those who went before us, and may our tradition of excellence carry forward into the future. Many changes will occur, but one thing will remain the same. It is our love and dedication to the calling to love, cherish and support one another. We will foster Catholic education through our Blessed Sacrament School.


Hold on to something heavy, America. You're in for a shocker. It's been 20 years since Rodney King was beaten by Los Angeles cops, and the grainy handheld video footage was released to the world. Twenty years since one nine-minute video made us all paranoid of being the next network TV "star."
Twenty years! I'm not even going to tell you how old I was then. But I will tell you video cameras were these bulky behemoths, pulled out only for the school concerts and Christmas morning. Like the officers captured beating Rodney King senseless, most people were still content in doing whatever they heck they wanted in public 20 years ago. We were safe. Because carrying a video camera or even a still camera everywhere you went was out of the question. Today, most of us wouldn't be caught outside of the house without one.
Today's world is in many ways the polar opposite of Rodney King's world. Police departments have mounted their own cameras on squad cars and in some cases officers' bodies to counteract the amateur footage captured on the cell phone of passersby.
I have two cameras at all times -- my iPod and my cell phone. And then there's my "real" camera, my SLR. Plus we have the Flip cam, the tiny little camera for the concerts and recitals. The latter two I don't carry daily, but the fact of the matter is in 2011, I have four different means of capturing images at my fingertips, in my home. Twenty years ago, families either had a video camera or a still camera, rarely both, never four.
It should make us feel safer. How can there be another Rodney King, another senseless beating in public, when there are cameras everywhere? When it will end up on YouTube within minutes (forget the 24-hour news cycle it took to get the King video out there)? There is a certain comfort in that, an awareness that people scared to "get involved" to help are still eager to whip out their cell phones and create court-usable evidence.
But it's also made us paranoid. Everyone is on high alert of what someone has in their pocket. Everyone. I stood in Tommy Hilfiger last week watching a guy shoot an image of a shirt in the kids' section, only to have a store employee tap him on the arm. "Sir, you can't do that."
"Can't do what?" he asked, confused. He hadn't hurt the shirt, or tried to steal it, or even taken photos of anything BUT the shirt. I certainly wasn't bothered as I poked through the racks. He was taking a photo to send to someone else, to ensure that he was picking up the right item for the child. And yet the store employee told him no pictures were allowed inside the store. None. Not even one that would probably have ensured an extra sale for the Tommy Hilfiger store that day if the kid's mom had liked the shirt. What were they so scared of? Who knows. Today, everyone's scared of a photo getting leaked, no matter how innocuous.
The horrors that Rodney King underwent woke Americans up to our role in helping bring criminals to justice, woke us up to the fact that no one is above the law, and we all have some power and responsibility to help a fellow man. That incident did a lot of good for our country. It also made us power hungry. It set us up for nursing students uploading Facebook pictures of a patient's placenta without her permission, for anyone with a cell phone camera snapping a pic of a celeb's 5-year-old on the street corner with her scooter and selling it for mega bucks.
Nothing is private in today's America. Nothing.
Do you remember watching the Rodney King video? Are you wary of people with cameras and video equipment these days?

Professor Layton and the Lost Future (レイトン教授と最後の時間旅行, Reiton-kyōju to Saigo no Jikan Ryokō, literalment El professor Layton i el futur perdut), anomenat Professor Layton and the Unwound Future fora d'Europa, és el tercer i últim videojoc de la primera trilogia de la sèrie Professor Layton per a Nintendo DS. Es tracta d'un videojoc de trencaclosques i aventura gràfica desenvolupat per Level-5, que va sortir al mercat del Japó el 2008, i el 2010 a la resta del món.

Jugabilitat
Com als anteriors videojocs de la sèrie Professor Layton, a The Lost Future el jugador ha de resoldre trencaclosques (puzles) proposats pels habitants dels llocs visitats per poder avançar en la història. El jugador pot utilitzar la pantalla tàctil de la Nintendo DS per seleccionar personatges i conversar-hi per obtenir informació o puzles.

Els puzles són variats: de lògica, de matemàtiques, visuals, de moure blocs... El jugador té disponibles quatre pistes, l'última de les quals és una novetat respecte al videojoc predecessor: es tracta d'una pista especial, que val dues monedes en lloc d'una, i que gairebé revela la solució del puzle. Si el jugador resol el trencaclosques correctament, rep una determinada quantitat de "picarats", la puntuació del joc, que disminueix si s'introdueix una resposta errònia.

A més, també hi ha disponibles tres minijocs, que es poden completar amb objectes que s'obtenen resolent puzles: són un llibre d'il·lustracions on s'han de crear històries, un entrenament per a un lloro i un circuit per a un cotxe. A part dels 168 puzles disponibles durant l'aventura, 30 més es poden descarregar a través de la connexió Wi-Fi de Nintendo (un per setmana fins a 30 setmanes). Tanmateix, des del maig del 2014 aquest servei ja no està disponible.

Argument
En Layton i en Luke són convidats en una demostració d'una màquina del temps construïda pel doctor Alain Stahngun, però l'experiment va malament i acaba amb la desaparició del científic i del primer ministre britànic, Bill Hawks. Una setmana després, quan s'ha descobert que molts altres científics han anat desapareixent, en Layton i en Luke reben una carta del mateix Luke, deu anys en el futur, que els condueix fins a una botiga de rellotges. Quan en surten, es troben al Londres del futur, deu anys endavant, on coneixen en Luke del futur. Els explica que en Layton del futur s'ha convertit en el cap d'una mena de màfia, anomenada Família, que ha pres el control de la ciutat.

Els protagonistes hauran de descobrir la veritat sobre el Londres del futur, mentre en Layton recordarà fets importants del seu passat, abans d'esdevenir professor d'universitat.

Recepció
Professor Layton and the Lost Future va rebre crítiques molt positives i va ser considerat el millor videojoc de la sèrie fins llavors. El programa de televisió Good Game: Spawn Point va atorgar-li una puntuació de 9 sobre 10. La mateixa nota li va atorgar Nintendo Power, i en els premis organitzats per la susdita revista va ser reconegut com el millor videojoc de trencaclosques i el videojoc amb el final més potent del 2010.

El desembre del 2010, The Lost Future havia venut 862.697 còpies al Japó i més d'1,87 milions de còpies a Amèrica i Europa. El març del 2011 les vendes a l'Amèrica del Nord havien sumat un total d'1,97 milions de còpies.

Banda sonora

Com en els dos videjocs anteriors, Tomohito Nishiura va compondre la música, que més tard es va llançar al Japó recopilada en un àlbum titulat Layton Kyoju to Saigo no Jikan Ryoko Original Soundtrack. Squareenixmusic.com va atorgar-li una puntuació de 8 sobre 10 anomenant-lo "el millor àlbum de la trilogia", però va criticar la seva "manca d'entreteniment fora del videojoc".

This check measures the usage of aggregates and volumes in a NetAPP filer. The usage is checked against a warning and a critical level. If a snapshot reserve is configured, snapshot growth will affect the volume usage just like normal data. Snapshots will also be listed, if their size is non-zero.
As of version 1.1.9i9 Check_MK supports trends. This means that the df check is now able to compute the change of the used space over the time and can make a forecast into the future. It can estimate the point of time where the filesystem will be full.
In the default configuration the check will compute the trend based on the data of the last 24 hours. Similar like the CPU load this is done with a logarithmic average that weights the more recent time more than time farer away. Also data beyond the 24 hours will to some small degree be reflected in the computation. The advantage of this algorithm is a more precise prediction and a simpler implementation, which does not need any access to any RRDs or similar storage.
Please note, that when a volume is started being monitored, then the trend of the past is unknown and will be assumed to be zero. That means that it will take at least one trend range of time until the trend approximately reflects the reality.
The name of the aggregate or volume on the NetAPP filer.
df supports inventory. All filesystem the agent reports will be inventorized except mount points listed in inventory_df_exclude_mountpoints and filesystem types listed in inventory_df_exclude_fs. The Windows agent only reports fixed disks. The Linux agent reports filesystems that have a size and are not of type smbfs, tmpfs, cifs or nfs.

Women's summit tackles big topics for the growing number of female entrepreneurs
Tamar Celis
There was some singing, some cursing and a whole lot of laughter at the Hightide Women's Summit on Friday.
Speakers and panelists offered insights about being an entrepreneur in today's world.
The all-day creative summit, put together by Guam-born Stacie Krajchir-Tom and the Guam Women's Chamber of Commerce, attracted women powerhouses of all ages and interests to the Dusit Thani Guam Resort.
Krajchir-Tom is the founder of The Bungalow PR, a Los Angeles-based public relations firm. She created the Hightide Women's Summit in 2017, feeling compelled to curate an event for her home island's female entrepreneurs.
Among the high-caliber speakers and panelists at this year's conference were:
Jen Bilik, founder and CEO of the book and gift company Knock Knock;
Paco De Leon, founder of the financial firm The Hell Yeah Group;
Freya Estreller, cofounder of artisan desserts company Cool Haus; and
Megan Villa, co-founder and creative director of the hemp-promoting platform Svn Space.
The entrepreneurs shared their knowledge on some of the biggest concerns of today's visionaries, such as social media, finances, branding, sustainability and self-care.
'Tribe has grown'
Krajchir-Tom, Guam Women's Chamber of Commerce President Lina Leon Guerrero and Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero took the stage during the first half of the summit to express their pride, gratitude and optimism for the island's women entrepreneurs.
Lina Leon Guerrero was the first to take the stage, giving a rousing welcoming address that acknowledged the work of her predecessors.
"Our tribe has grown," she said. "We follow in the footsteps of our past board members and our founders. They were able to visualize how the women's chamber could start with a small group of women and continue to grow by inviting and empowering women not only to participate but to lead."
Krajchir-Tom followed with an introduction to the guest speakers.
2017 Summit:Summit elevates women in business
"I just wanted to bring these incredible speakers today because I feel that every single one of them has something to offer, no matter what your business, your job, your career is, on a personal level as well as a professional level," said Krajchir-Tom.
In her welcoming remarks, the governor expressed a commitment to female empowerment and representation in leadership.
"Aside from being women, each of us has one other thing in common: We each see ourselves as agents of change," the governor said. "Individually we can make a splash. Together we can make tsunami-force waves. As maga'håga, I continue my advocacy for women and women's rights. In the Leon Guerrero administration, my cabinet consists of 28 females and 29 males."
Family, failure, finances
Friday morning's talks were led by Jen Bilik, who covered the creative and entrepreneurial process, and Paco De Leon, who gave advice on managing one's finances as a business owner.
During her talk, "Stuff," Bilik emphasized the importance of knowing your "what" and "why" before starting your business. The "how," she said, is less important.
To describe the hard work and dedication required for entrepreneurship, the Knock Knock founder used the analogy of starting a family. Choosing your business partner is like getting married, and having a business is like raising a family, explained Bilik.
Bilik:Women's Chamber invites Knock Knock CEO Jen Bilik as speaker for women's summit
De Leon:Women's Chamber invites Paco de Leon as a speaker for women's summit
De Leon's talk was "Stop Freaking Out About Your Finances." In it, she offered 10 tips on how to stay on top of your finances, including:
setting aside time every week to handle your finances;
securing a good accountant; and
separating business from personal.
De Leon writes a weekly "nerdletter" that shares finance-forward insight, ideas and resources. To subscribe, you can visit https://thehellyeahgroup.com/hygweekly.
While united by creativity and entrepreneurship, each summit participant had a unique set of strengths and needs. To address this, the conference provided group mentoring sessions and several interactive spaces.
Additionally, during its second half, the summit was split into two tracks: "Conscious Capitalism," which tackled entrepreneurship, career advancement and brand growth; and "Wellness," which handled topics related to alternative healing and personal growth.
A collaborative pop-up shop was open throughout the conference and featured vendors from Guam and overseas. An "activation station" in the next room served as a space to talk with other women leaders and entrepreneurs while participating in a new experience, like creating your own leather key chain.
Many women took advantage of the summit's free beauty and wellness lounge, which included hair, makeup and nail painting booths, as well as a crystal healing station from Synergy Wellness.

Best Movie to Take Place In South Dakota and Every Other State
Youtube Screen Shot
Thrillist.com put out a list of "The Best Movies That Take Place in Every State." The list says that the Best Movie from South Dakota is Badlands. I don't think so.
Badlands is a 1973 American crime movie starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek. It is a fictional story although it is loosely based on the real-life 1959 murder spree of Charles Starkweather and his girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate.
Although I understand that Badlands is a fine movie, I don't think it's the best one filmed in South Dakota.
What about Dances With Wolves, Thunderheart, Mercury Rising, Nebraska, and Beast from the Haunted Cave? Well...maybe not Beast from a Haunted Cave.
Some other Best Movies To Take Place In Their States on the list:
Minnesota: Fargo
Iowa: The Music Man
Nebraska: Election
North Dakota: The Overnighters
Wisconsin: Bridesmaids
Wyoming: Brokeback Mountain
What do you think? Are these the best movies from these states?

I wrote last week about how the World Trade Organisation's rules have helped, Indian basmati rice exports to increase by hundreds of millions of dollars, and gain protection for it from foreign imitation. This protection is based not on the biological composition of basmati but the fact that it comes from a particular geographical region. The key issue here is not patent rights but geographical indication rights under WTO.
Alfonso mangos. These come from the Konkan coast. Many people in other parts of India, and other countries for that matter, will try and grow the same biological varieties as Konkan does, and claim these are also Alfonsos. We must stop this on geographical grounds.
Ponni and Ambermore rice. These are just two of many top-quality aromatic rices that need geographical protection too. Indeed, we need to overhaul our archaic rules which lump all non-basmati varieties together into a single category. We need to specify both biological and geographical specifications for different sorts of rice. All aromatic rice (there are almost 2,000 such varieties) should be taken out of the procurement levy system altogether (as is the ' case with basmati). It makes no sense to include such premium rice in a public distribution system meant for the poor. But in exports the proportion of broken rice has to be reduced to 5 per cent, and the separated brokens can be handed Over as levy rice to the PDS.
Darjeeling tea. Today, for want of geographical protection, even bulk teas from Sri Lanka and Kenya are labelled 'Darjeeling.' Retail tea packets are based on blended tea, and many supposed 'Darjeeling blends' have no more than one per cent of tea from Darjeeling. We need to promote and protect Assam tea as well as Darjeeling tea.
Nashik pink onions are an underrated speciality. Western countries grow white onions with a much milder taste.
Kanji, the delicious juice of black carrots from northern India and Pakistan.
Sarson ka saag, an ancient Punjabi speciality.
Indian pepper has a rich taste that makes it superior to rivals like Indonesian pepper. Again, Indian cardamom has a richer taste than rival cardamom from other countries. We need to promote these items as geographical specialities, just as Colombia has promoted Colombian coffee as a premium product.
This is only a short illustrative list, and a sustained effort will reveal many more items. India is blessed with a diversity of agroclimatic conditions that yields several regional specialities. We have failed to protect and promote such specialities in the past. Now the WTQ makes that imperative.
Some products in the above list are not exported today. Yet the export potential of all such geographical specialities is enormous for four reasons.
First, as the world grows richer, consumers are becoming more and more discriminating, and are increasingly distinguishing between ordinary foods and gourmet ones. Consumers in many well-off countries pay a high premium for gourmet foods, more so if these are grown organically. Higher global incomes will continue to spur the demand for geographical specialities.
Second, consumers in many rich countries are now opting for non-traditional foods which they never ate before, and this means there is scope for exporting new items like sarson ka saag. A classic case is point is kiwi fruit, the green fruit which New Zealand developed and succeeding in making a standard item in supermarkets the world over. But today several other countries have started growing kiwi "fruit and Undercutting New Zealand. That underlines the need for aggressively protecting geographical rights while promoting specialities.
Third, the Indian community overseas is estimated at 20 million today. This is more than the population of entire countries like Uganda (19 million); Ghana (17 nillion), Sri Lanka (18 million), and Australia (18 million). Indeed, it is more than the combined population of Ireland, Norway, Den-nark and Switzerland. So Indians overseas constitute a major market or speciality foods. Note that Indians abroad often belong, to the high-income class and willingly pay premium prices.
Fourth, Indian cuisine is becoming popular with people of all nationalities the world over. So the demand for Indian foods is getting globalised, greatly expanding the size of the market. In Britain, according to one report, more restaurants now serve Indian food ban British. Their Indian restaurants no longer cater to just the ethnic niche, they now cater to the whole range of consumers include he gourmet class.
So, the scope for capitalising on geographical rights is immense. But we need straightaway to enact leg-station providing for geographical protection within India itself, It is silly to criticise cunning Americans or trying to pass off spurious stuff is basmati, but ignore the many Indian traders doing the same geographical indications protect lot just producers but consumers too, by guaranteeing the latter genuine goods. We must stop internal violation of geographical rights no less than international violation. When protection for champagne vas first enacted in France, it aimed at stopping imitation by other French wine-growing districts, as well foreigners.
We have ignored consumer protection in India, so naturally we have not bothered about protecting geographical rights either. But several other countries (including the USA) have such legislation in place. So, ironically, the Basmati development fund can take legal action against American imitators of basmati under American law, but not Indian ones. This is disgraceful.
Once we fully take into account it the great potential value of geographical indications for India, the old debate on intellectual property in this country looks highly flawed and incomplete. Many Indian leftists claim that intellectual property rights are skewed In favour of rich countries, which have more scientists and inventions. This approach ignores the value of geographical indications. Third world countries cover an area several times as large as developed ones, and have greater agricultural diversity. Third World countries have, potentially if not immediately, more to gain from geographical rights than developed countries.
Moreover, patent rights are available for only 20 years, after which they become global property. But geographical rights are available for eternity. In this respect, intellectual property rights under WTO are actually skewed in favour of the Third World. Eco-jingoists, please note.

Glass shatters in New York's Sony Plaza, injuring 15
Ice left over from a massive winter storm on Friday fell down from the 32nd floor of the Sony building, crashing into a set of glass panels in the lobby.
"It looked like a hailstorm," partygoer Shirley Rozman was quoted as saying in an AP story. A group of people were at the midtown atrium, which is open to the public, celebrating the Jewish holiday of Prium.
"There was a little bit of panic. People were afraid the ceiling would come crashing down even farther," said Rozman. Although no one was seriously injured, according to first responders at the scene, eight people were taken to area hospitals.
New York City's Buildings Department issued a violation to the owners of the Sony property, citing a failure to properly maintain the building. This could mean a fine of up to $25,000.

Former Governor of California
Arnold Schwarzenegger was California's 38th Governor between 2003 and 2011, and has had a successful career as a businessman and actor..
One of the major accomplishments he achieved as Governor to address the Climate Crisis was the establishment of the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 - a bipartisan agreement to combat global warming by reducing California's greenhouse gas emissions. His Strategic Growth Plan, aimed to reduce congestion and clean the air, the Hydrogen Highway by Executive Order, to support the transition to a clean hydrogen transportation economy, the Million Solar Roofs Initiative, to bring 3,000 megawatts of clean energy online by 2017 and he passed the Safe, Clean and Reliable Drinking Water Supply Act of 2010.
Other successes include leading the reform to make California competitive for up to $700 million in federal Race to the Top funds, which ensures that all California's students have access to the world-class education they need to thrive. He signed legislation making the state's school nutrition standards the most progressive in the nation and also, his support for the After-School Education & Safety Act in 2002, has made California the first state to significantly invest in a comprehensive after-school program.
In 1990 he was appointed Chair of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. He also served as Chair of the California Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
He received the Simon Wiesenthal Center's "National Leadership Award" for his support of the organization's Holocaust studies. In 2002, Schwarzenegger was awarded the Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award.
For his films, Schwarzenegger received a Golden Globe Award for Best Newcomer for his performance in Stay Hungry (1976). He has had a leading role in many popular action films, including Conan the Barbarian (1982), The Terminator (1984) and its two sequels, True Lies (1994) and Batman & Robin (1997). He played comedy roles in films Twins (1988), Kindergarten Cop (1990), and Junior (1994).
As a businessman, his first investment was in a brick laying business. He followed this with a mail-order bodybuilding equipment company and invested in real estate, becoming a millionaire before he started his acting career. He was a founding investor in the Planet Hollywood restaurant chain.

Richard T. Hughes on grace and the paradoxes of vocation
May 4, 2022 Hannah Schell Podcastmemoir, vocation, winding path
Richard T. Hughes
In the latest episode of NetVUE's podcast series, Callings, we talk with Richard Hughes about his long career as a scholar and teacher. Richard has a new book out, a "memoir of sorts," which chronicles both his own vocational story and the trajectory of his work on Christianity in the U.S. In our conversation, Richard graciously shares significant moments of rejection and criticism in his life and how these made him reconsider his most deeply held beliefs. He reflects on the influence of Victor Frankl, Robert Bellah, James Noel, and Martin Marty on his life and work, and encourages listeners to consider the paradox of how "losing one's self" can be a gift.
Entitled The Grace of Troublesome Questions and published by Abilene Christian University Press, some of the material in Richard's new book first appeared on this blog. In Finding vocation in loss, suffering, and death he offers three stories—from Chaim Potok's The Chosen, Viktor Frankl, and his own life—exemplifying a paradox about meaning and death. Richard writes, "We ask about the meaning of life because the fact of death makes our lives seem so absurd." In this second post, Richard returns to his youth, when grace appeared in the form of deeply troubling questions about the church in which he was raised, the Church of Christ. (If you missed this post, you will want to read it now, not only for its clear-eyed retrospection but also for the photos of a young Richard Hughes found through the wonders of the internet!).
In Called by a book, Richard recalls how an early mentor put a book in his hands that changed his life. Franklin H. Littell's The Anabaptist View of the Church forced him to confront those troubling questions.
It forced me to ask serious questions about the restoration vision. What, after all, should be restored? And that question led to another—what sort of issues stood at the heart of the Christian religion?
In Grace, vocation, and leaving the school that I loved, Richard relays how, in the months following September 11, 2001, he grew uncomfortable with a kind of American patriotism masquerading as Christian faith. "And that's when I knew that my own sense of vocation now stood hopelessly at odds with the vocation of the institution that employed me," Richard writes. After twenty-four years at Pepperdine University, "this Eden on the Pacific," he and his wife Jan moved to Messiah College in Grantham, Pennsylvania.

It's a great addition to vanilla frosting...But it is alcohol. So, if you have children, use tart cherry juice which is just as scrumptious...and pink!
The best of both worlds collide in this luscious Japanese yuzu liqueur laced cheesecake! Cool Whip, cream cheese, tofu and yuzu liqueur go for a twirl in the food processor with a few more ingredients. Then poured into a Pocky crust.

Important Car Parking & Disabled Car Parking News
Due to renovations to the North Stand car park and the severely restricted availability, the club have issued permits to wheelchair-using season ticket holders.
This permit will allow them to park behind the TLH Auctioneers stand and we also have a limited number of parking for blue badge holders on a first come first serve basis.
Stewards will be on hand to assist with drop offs if required, should fans wish to utilise the hospital car park.
The Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust have again very kindly allowed the club to use a section of their new staff parking facility on Westhulme Avenue, off Westhulme Way (to the rear of B&Q) for fans to park before Saturday's home game against Peterborough United.
This is following on from the same arrangements from last weekend's game against Bradford City which worked very successfully.
There are 300 places available on the car park and stewards will be on hand to co-ordinate the operation and ensure the safety and security of supporters.
The hospital car park will be free for supporters to use but will be strictly on a first come first served basis.
The club thanks all supporters for their continued patience and understanding during this period of inconvenience.

"Only the best is good enough!"


Namely, making the Boston Celtics likable.
We live in crazy, mixed-up times, so it's entirely possible Kyrie Irving was right. When seventh-year guard forced a trade from Cleveland in order to get out from under LeBron's shadow, he was painted as a selfish if talented star whose priorities were out of whack. Just over three weeks into the season, Kyrie is thriving and the Celtics are surging. They've won 13 straight since losing their first two games and are currently sitting atop the East. They kept the streak alive even when Irving missed two games with a facial injury. He scored 25 points in his return this week despite wearing a plastic mask and should be in prime form when the Celtics and Warriors square off tonight. The Cavs, meanwhile, are sitting at 8-7 and still trying to make sense of their retooled roster.
But just because Kyrie made the right call, it doesn't mean he had any idea what he was doing. It's become abundantly clear that, off the court, Irving has a unique way of relating to the world. He seemingly speaks, acts, and feels like he doesn't fully get that reality is happening all around him. He's not so much thinking out loud as he is turning over options in his head, until he realizes one's slipped out and he has no choice but to stick with it. The Flat Earth Incident is the single best example here, but Kyrie also has a knack for half-cocked quotes, like when he told Max Kellerman "if you're very much woke, there is no such thing as distractions," or when he explained that Celtics coach Brad Stevens as "an intellectual mind and is an intellectual human being … something I was unbelievably craving in terms of what I wanted for my career." Kyrie isn't eccentric or whimsical. He's a human glitch.
In the NBA, style of play and personality are sometimes interchangeable or intertwined. Thankfully, there's nothing flaky or muddled about his game. Kyrie, for all his eye-popping crossovers and acrobatics around the rim, is always crisp and disciplined, carving up space with little to no wasted movement. While on paper Irving isn't having his best statistical season, his contributions to the Celtics are undeniable. With no other clear top option on offense (RIP Gordon Hayward), Boston's ability to move the ball freely and open up the floor are as important as ever. In theory, Kyrie, who can be something of a ball-stopper and doesn't possess elite court vision, could've gummed up the works. Instead, the mere threat of Irving—whether on the perimeter, the wing, or in the lane—makes it harder for teams to disrupt Boston's system. In Cleveland, Kyrie, while not exactly a defensive liability, only seemed to turn it up when someone reminded him to. So far this year, he's been hard-nosed and effective in a way we've never seen before.
When Kyrie was in Cleveland, the general assumption was that he wanted to go somewhere where he could score more. What if what he really wanted was a team where his contributions figured more centrally into the team's overall identity? Calling Kyrie a "leader" feels strange when it's not always clear he knows what direction he himself is going. But there's no question that Irving's game enables much of what the Celtics do, rather than him being an add-on or an island like he often was in Cleveland. Instead of waiting around to get handed the ball and being told "create," just by being on the floor Irving sets into motion something bigger than himself, which is the opposite of selfishness. What looked at first like egoism turns out to have been an opportunity for Kyrie to really grow.
"With the Warriors still expected to run away with the title, entertainment value has never been at more of a premium. And the Celtics aren't just one of the league's best teams, they're among its most watchable."
Kyrie Irving isn't solely responsible for Boston being atop the East but his newfound poise and sense of responsibility seems to have rubbed off on his teammates, most notably rookie Jason Tatum and second-year Jaylen Brown. Tatum and Brown were patted on the head profusely for their strong play in the first few games. It wasn't supposed to last, except it did, and now the two look like key building blocks for the Celtics' near and long-term future. The team's wild-eyed resolve since Hayward's injury—which could've been a gut punch—may just show heart. But it also smacks of Kyrie's counterintuitive, at times oblivious, approach to things. They can't knock you down if you refuse to even acknowledge you've been hit.
With the Warriors still expected to run away with the title, entertainment value has never been at more of a premium. And the Celtics aren't just one of the league's best teams, they're among its most watchable. If not on par with the galactic experience of watching the Bucks, Sixers, or the Porzingis part of the Knicks, the Celtics are worth your time and always go down easy. They're exceptionally good at checking boxed, reconciling grit and finesse as if they had no business being opposites. They're technically sound and hustle hard but they're also dynamic as hell. Thanks to Stevens, they're brain food for the nerds. And for flashy highlights, Irving, Tatum, and Brown more than have you covered.
This team has also accomplished the seemingly impossible feat of making the Celtics likable. Improbably, pairing one of the league's running jokes with its most hated franchise yielded a team you kind of want to pull for. Hayward's injury gave them cause, made them sympathetic, and created an underdog. Once that initial rush wore off, Boston cemented itself as an enthusiastic, emotional squad whose success was unexpected, refreshing, and part of the league's strong youth movement. Outside of Kyrie, the Celtics aren't exactly brimming with personality, and even there, you assign value at your own peril. But playing the way they do, with so many non-objectionable guys, in a way that embodies zero basketball clichés associated with Boston fandom, distinguishes them from any Celtics team in recent memory.
When Irving left the Cavs, the assumption was that he'd wait out the Warriors and then, still in his prime, worry about winning another title. Boston has a shot at the Finals but they can't hang with Golden State. And yet we're seeing him bring along a team that—minus Al Horford—will be in prime position to contend down the road. If they're this good without Hayward, imagine the jolt they get next season when he (presumably) returns. Kyrie was ridiculed for his seeming cluelessness and free-associative approach to his career. Increasingly, it's looking like he won't just get the last laugh, and he'll get it well ahead of schedule. Kyrie may not fully grasp where he's ended up, and he may not have always acknowledged our shared reality. But what if, like, we've actually been living in his all along?

How can I treat pigmentation?
In this day and age, in which muscle relaxing injections and skin fillers are widely available, lines and wrinkles are no longer the number one focus in the battle of anti-ageing. Even the smoothest, tight skin can look aged with a mottled, dull complexion. A clear, bright complexion is the true mark of a youthful and healthy skin and the reason pigmentation is quickly becoming the most common skin concern asked about in clinics.
Age spots, melasma and uneven skin tone are all caused by the body making too much pigment in an area, usually because of damage or stress to the skin. The pigment in our skin is made by a cell called the Melanocyte. We all have pigment in our hair and skin : it is essential in protecting our skin against photo ageing, caused by the sun.
The pigment molecules collect around the nucleus of our skin cells, to create a barrier to sun rays attacking our DNA.
This pigment is granular, so it also thickens our skin, making it more resilient. This is the reason sun worshipers have thick, leathery skin in later life.
The Melanocyte makes extra pigmentation when increased protection is required. When the Melanocyte cell itself becomes damaged, it can continue to make excess pigmentation, even when extra protection is not needed, giving us those permanent dark spots.
There are three common types of hyper-pigmentation.
Age spots, also known as sunspots are caused by DNA damage to the melanocyte after sun exposure.
Melasma, also known as chloasma, is related to hormone elevations associated with pregnancy, menopause, and some medications.
All three of these cause a repair response in the skin whereby new cells are made very quickly. These new cells then create a demand for pigment and dark patches can occur.
Hyper-pigmentation can be superficial or deep in the skin. If it is superficial, the pigment is only in the skin cells closest to the surface of the skin, the melanocyte has returned to normal function and it's only the burst of pigment from previous damage left behind which is staining the old skin cells. This can be simple to treat and good results can be seen quickly.
If the pigmentation is deeper, it suggests the melanocyte is damaged and constantly pumping out too much pigment. This can be slightly harder to treat as it means having to control the function of the melanocyte.
One simple way to tell if your pigmentation is superficial or deep is to push the skin where it's darkest. If the skin goes white and slowly returns to its original colour, this would suggest the pigment is superficial. If the skin remains dark, this could suggest the pigment is deeper set and it may require a more aggressive program of treatment and take you longer to see results.
HOW DOES A PRODUCT AFFECT IT?
There are three essential steps to be done at home in the treatment and correcting hyper-pigmentation.
Using a daily serum with a pigment suppressor, this will stop the production of excessive pigment, at the melanocyte.
Exfoliating away stained, dead skin, thus stimulating new cellular production of cells ,with controlled levels of pigment, with a highly active chemical exfoliator, containing glycolic acid.
Wearing an SPF daily to prevent further stress of the melanocyte and protect the skin from UVA radiation.
Only a cosmeceutical product has the potency and delivery systems required to penetrate ingredients to the melanocyte and change its function. The process of pigment production in our skin is an oxidise process and pigment suppressors work by boosting your body's natural anti-oxidant levels,to prevent excessive production of pigment at the source.
This three-step program done daily will train your skin into making healthy new skin cells regularly and controlling the amount of pigment that's injected into them, leading to lighter, brighter skin with a more even skin tone. When this daily correcting is combined with clinical treatments, you will see results and improvement in your skin within six weeks. These results, if protected with a daily UVA radiation protector will be long term and prevent further pigmentation problems in the future.
Image's Illuma range is the first lightening and brightening serum in the industry to contain vectorise technology. A revolutionary delivery system for unparalleled results for hyper-pigmentation. To find an image skin care specialist near you, click here.

Solid Fuel Boiler Pulverised fuel fired, hot water boilers are highly specific for Polish heat generating sector. These boilers are meant only for distinct heating or supply of hot process water.
In the case of Boilers, flue gases or exhaust from the boiler outlet are at high temperature and water that needs to be preheated is at low temperature. So, this temperature difference between water and flue gases helps to increase the feed water temperature.

A low-pressure fire-tube Steam Boiler can usually tolerate high feed-water hardness with proper treatment while virtually all impurities must be removed from water used in some modern, high-pressure Steam Boilers.
Referring to the saturated steam table on page 28 (Figure 2) we see that a low-pressure boiler operating at 15 psig produces saturated steam with a temperature of 250 ° F. Boilers contain a combustion section (where the fuel/air mixture burns) and a heat-transfer section (where heat is transferred to water).
Steam blanketing is a condition that occurs when a steam layer forms between the boiler water and the tube wall. Under this condition, insufficient water reaches the tube surface for efficient heat transfer. The water that does reach the overheated boiler wall is rapidly vaporized, leaving behind a concentrated caustic solution, which is corrosive.

Japan Raises Ethoxyquin Limits on Viet Nam Shrimp
Food safety & handling Economics Sustainability Environment
4 December 2013, at 12:00am
VIET NAM - Japan is considering raising the maximum residue limits (MRL) for Ethoxyquin (ETQ) on shrimp from Viet Nam to 0.2 ppm, 20 times higher than the current level of 0.01ppm.
According to VASEP, on 29 November 2013, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) approved the MRL for ETQ on Viet Nam shrimp and then reported it to the World Trade Organization (WTO).
The final decision on the MRL of ETQ is expected to be officially announced by the end of January 2014 by MHLW.
In 2012, ETQ inspection by Japan on Viet Nam shrimp took a heavy toll on Viet Nam's shrimp exports. Viet Nam's shrimp consignments must be tested for ETQ five times (from raw shrimp to exported products), leading to increasing costs for exporters. Shrimp exports to the market in 2012 were up only 1.7 per cent over 2011.
In the first six months of 2012, Viet Nam shrimp exports to Japan posted a year-on-year growth of 28 per cent. However, shrimp shipment to the market started to fall sharply after Japan inspected ETQ residue on 30 per cent of shrimp consignments imported from Viet Nam with MRL of 0.01 ppm in May 2012.
In late August 2012, Japan decided to test ETQ residue on all shrimp consignments from Viet Nam. Thus, shrimp exports to the market remained two-digit reduction in the last six months of 2012.
During the past time, Viet Nam's competent authorities and enterprises have taken great efforts to minimize ETQ residue in exported shrimp.
Viet Nam's authorities sent Japan's relevant agencies official letters to recommend Japan raise MRL for ETQ in shrimp to 1ppm, similar to that for finfish.
Recently, National Agro Forestry Fisheries Quality Assurance Department (NAFIQAD) recommended MHLW to re-establish MRL for ETQ from 0.01ppm currently to 1ppm. Besides, Viet Nam shrimp exporters strengthened to control ETQ residue from shrimp farming to processing.
According to safety alerts of food imported into Japan, until November 25 2013, the number of shrimp consignments exported to the market that contain Ethoxyquin residue has reduced to four, from 17 of last year.
In January 2013, Viet Nam shrimp exports to Japan started to recover because ETQ problem was improved. Through October 2013, shrimp exports to the market enjoyed a year-on-year growth of 13 per cent to reach US$574.5 million. Moreover, Viet Nam shrimp exports to Japan were further boosted thanks to Thailand's shortfall of raw shrimp caused by EMS and rise in global shrimp price.
The volume of frozen raw shrimp accounted for 69 per cent of Japan's total shrimp imports. Through September 2013, Viet Nam surpassed Thailand to claim the first position in supplying frozen shrimp to Japan with 24,806 MT, up 8.1 per cent. While Thailand exported 15,964 MT of frozen shrimp to the market, down 38 per cent because of vast decline in shrimp output due to EMS.
Until September 2013, export value of Viet Nam frozen shrimp to Japan reported the growth of 37 per cent year-on-year owing to increase in average import price of frozen shrimp into the market.
