Yet their case documents reveal something else: gaping holes in the state's strategy to prevent fraud. The architects of other major health programs shored up similar weaknesses long ago. Here is a comparison:
Consolidate the power
When Medicare makes rules, it has a strong incentive to encourage doctors, pharmacists and others to follow them: money.
The purse strings are not held nearly as tightly in California's workers' compensation system, in which a division of power creates the first major hurdle.
Lawmakers make rules. The state's Department of Industrial Relations administers workers' compensation. Medical boards and commissions oversee doctors, pharmacists and chiropractors. And a market of more than 300 insurers and self-insured employers do the day-to-day job of deciding which medical bills to pay and which claims to fight.
"When everyone is responsible, no one is," said Kate Zimmermann, a Kern County prosecutor who has combated workers' compensation fraud for eight years. "He who has the gold can write the rules. … If you have one checkbook, you can say, 'If you want the check, this is how.' "
Leveraging the power to zip the wallet, the federal Affordable Care Act handed a particularly powerful fraud-fighting tool to state Medicaid agencies. They must stop paying a health care provider if they determine there is a "credible allegation of fraud." Medical providers then can fight the determination in administrative courts.
No such rule exists in California's workers' compensation program. Yet the facts outlined in one case suggest it could have spared numerous questionable surgeries.
Dr. Douglas Mills testified in court that in 2007, he formally complained about a clinic at which he saw an improbable number of MRI reports come back supporting the case for surgery.
"In my opinion, people were getting hurt, so I wanted to stop it," Mills said of his experience at San Fernando-based Frontline Medical Associates. Court records show that a state insurance department investigation was underway even before Mills' report.
Further testimony confirmed Mills' suspicions, including a clinic staff member who said she was paid a bonus to falsify MRI reports, bolstering the case for surgery. The revelations came to light last year – eight years after Mills' initial complaint – when 15 people related to the clinic were criminally indicted. The charges in the pending case include aggravated mayhem for surgeries that prosecutors deemed inappropriate.
Root out sham facilities
Medicare officials know scammers can be brazen enough to steal patient identities, fabricate a sham medical office and bill for phantom care. As a result, the federal program has set up a system to check on medical offices.
Medicare uses its own data to determine whether classes of providers with track records of graft are medium or high risk, such as wheelchair merchants and home health agencies.
Both types of providers are visited when they initially open, three or five years later – depending on the industry – and whenever officials get a complaint. A government-contracted auditor interviews operators and takes a look behind the counter, according to Jason Weinstock, a former supervisory investigator for the U.S. Health and Human Services Department's inspector general.
In California's workers' compensation system, no such data reviews or facility vetting occur on a regular basis. In fact, no central authority performs inspections to make sure medical firms are doing what they claim to do.
When everyone is responsible, no one is. He who has the gold can write the rules.
Kate Zimmermann, Kern County prosecutor
Insurers can steer workers to a network of hand-picked medical providers. But a shadow system operates to the side, in which workers can get medical care from thousands of unregulated providers who seek payment later in workers' compensation courts.
In that vacuum of oversight, James Allen Wilson saw a golden opportunity.
Wilson worked in the billing department at a hospital, where he had access to the personal information of workers' compensation patients. Using their information, he set up a fake lab, billed for bogus services and started collecting $354,000 in checks at a post office box.
He got caught, according to news reports, when a savvy claims adjuster noted that he billed to perform tests on a dead man.
Wilson pleaded guilty to identity theft, grand theft and insurance fraud in 2009. In the years since, no checks of workers' compensation medical providers have been instituted.
Empower workers to identify bogus bills
Albert MacKenzie, a former Los Angeles County prosecutor familiar with the Wilson case, said the oversight gaps are compounded by the fact that workers don't have a way to flag bogus care. Unlike in Medicare or employer-paid health care, injured-worker patients aren't mailed an explanation of benefits, or a summary of the services and charges related to their health care.
"When you have a system that doesn't even send a patient a copy of what's being billed for, it's just Dodge City; open season for fraud," MacKenzie said. "It's just a massive cesspool."
State labor officials say they've tried to clamp down on unregulated care through legislation that gives insurers the power to deny payment for unapproved health treatments. Despite the law, though, such bills for unapproved care remain commonplace in the state's small workers' compensation courts.
Ban providers convicted of fraud
In Medicare, medical professionals may be banned from seeking money to see patients if they've been convicted of defrauding a health care program or fraud-related offenses.
But those banned providers have no problem starting a second career in California's workers' compensation system.
They include Dr. Thomas Heric, who was banned from Medicare in 2006 after he admitted to filing a false claim. Five years later, prosecutors accused him of defrauding the workers' compensation system by writing identical reports based on injured workers' sleep studies. He is fighting his case in Orange County Superior Court.
An analysis of public records by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting found that several other chiropractors and doctors banned by Medicare moved their career to workers' compensation.
Among them: chiropractor David C. Nguyen. Medicare banned him in 2005 over an insurance fraud conviction. Earlier this year, San Diego prosecutors indicted him for insurance fraud again, this time for passing along bribes from a chiropractor to a therapy center – both workers' compensation medical providers.
Free the data
Last summer, Medicare released millions of records detailing the services and charges of doctors across the nation. The federal agency billed it as a move "to promote better care, smarter spending, and healthier people."
The Medicare data identifies doctors' billing practices down to the specific test or treatment.
A flood of news stories based on the data followed, identifying high-billing doctors who also were in the crosshairs of law enforcement.
Among them was a Florida physician accused in a Justice Department lawsuit of performing invasive procedures to clean out seniors' arteries – even if they didn't need it. Another top biller is accused of reaping millions for diagnosing seniors with an eye malady that leads to blindness, whether or not they had the ailment.
In my opinion, people were getting hurt, so I wanted to stop it.
Dr. Douglas Mills, who formally complained about his experience at Frontline Medical Associates
No such transparency effort sheds light on health care spending in California's workers' compensation program. Public records in workers' comp cases are limited to the names of medical providers seeking money in contested court cases.
Barbara Wynn, a Rand Corp. expert who was commissioned by the state to study health spending in its workers' comp program, has access to the data as a researcher. She said making it available to the public could deter questionable practices: "It could start fingering potential fraud situations."
But opening up billing data would be politically difficult, said Frank Neuhauser, a UC Berkeley researcher who's studied the California workers' compensation system for 25 years. Some doctors and attorneys for injured workers could see their income fall if excessive care is reined in.
But for workers who get questionable surgeries or treatments, and for employers who foot the bill, he said, it would be the right thing to do.

Bobby & Jens: Magnus Sheffield
The young standout American discusses his early years and signing with Ineos Grenadiers.
November 29, 2021 VeloNews.com

As a junior cyclist, Magnus Sheffield wasn't exactly on the international radar. That all changed at the 2019 road world championships, where the then 17-year-old American made an indelible mark by finishing third in the junior road race. Since then, his career has been on an upward trajectory, and the now 19-year-old is set to start in the WorldTour next season as part of the Ineos Grenadiers.
But before he signed with one of pro cycling's perennial powerhouses, he first had to find his way onto the bike. Magnus takes us through his early athletic career, which involved a lot less cycling than you might think. "My mom is from Norway so it comes naturally that I was born with skis, practically," he said.
Having started skiing when he was two years old, Magnus quickly transitioned into alpine ski racing, which became a serious focus by his early teen years. He discussed how he got started on the bike, and how cycling eventually overtook skiing. It's a story that's comparable to co-host Bobby Julich's early athletic career.
Later, the discussion turned to his breakout success at worlds, and the challenges he faced soon thereafter as a young athlete during the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. During that time, he stayed motivated by turning his focus to the world junior individual pursuit record, a feat that ended up taking months to pull off. "The logistics of organizing such an event were a lot more than I expected," he says.
And the big news in Magnus's life recently is his three-year deal with the Ineos Grenadiers, one of the best, if not the best, WorldTour teams. "That was the team I always wanted to be a part of," he said. He talked about how that deal came about and how the team is a good fit to support his goals.

What's wrong with using AES directly/"raw"?
When developing applications that require crypto routines, I know to use libraries like keyczar and libsodium rather than "raw" crypto routines myself.
However, for the specific case of using AES-CBC symmetric encryption of a block of text, I'm wondering what the pitfalls are that I may unwittingly run into.
(For a concrete example, the prudence of using a library such as this one - which I've been reading over - is what I've been curious about: http://www.aescrypt.com/sharp_aes_crypt.html.)
xyzxyz
security.stackexchange.com/questions/18197/… and cs.berkeley.edu/~daw/teaching/cs261-f12/misc/if.html – Adi Jun 5 '13 at 8:48
Just to make things clear. Generally implementing your own crypto is a good way to learn, but shouldn't be done when you want to use your implementation to actually secure something, or in a production environment. So, playing around with crypto is fine, as long as you don't actually believe that you'll write something secure and then use it for that purpose. – Adi Jun 5 '13 at 9:05
The cipher function is just a building-block for encryption. It's an important one, no doubt, but it's just one single component that can be used both securely and insecurely. If you write the the crypto framework yourself and plug in ciphers, etc. where you think they go, you run a very real risk of doing something wrong.
What's your cipher key? Are you using a key derivation function or just naively hashing your password?
Initialization vector? Where does it come from and what do you do with it?
Block chaining mode, which do you pick and why did you pick it? Did you say "CBC because everyone else uses it"? Does your block chaining mode affect your initialization vector choice?
Message authentication; are you testing to ensure that the message hasn't been tampered with? Where do you put that authentication code?
Flexibility: do you allow parameters such as cipher specification or chaining mode to be specified at run-time? (How) do you indicate your decision in your output?
...and dozens of other issues that don't spring immediately to mind.
There are lots of decisions to be made, and a huge number of ways to get it wrong. Typically there's an easy-but-horrifyingly-wrong answer to every question which you may stumble into using simply by not knowing that you had to make a decision.
Frameworks (hopefully) answer a lot of these questions for you, and (hopefully) do so in a way that is community-vetted and largely secure. Not all frameworks do things right, and many may punt the question back to you.
But (and here's the important point) if you go it alone and build your own framework, there's an overwhelmingly high probability that you'll come up with the wrong answer for some decision.
If you use a trusted, vetted, well-written framework, you up your odds a bit.
tylerltylerl
Thanks for those concrete examples of the tricky decisions points - that's exactly what I was looking for here. I do already try to heed the high-level lesson. If any more issue do spring to mind, please feel free to point them out here - I'm just trying to learn! – xyz Jun 6 '13 at 0:59
for the specific case of using AES-CBC symmetric encryption of a block of text
The problem here--and with most implementations of crypto algorithms--is that the specific case is insufficiently specific. If you're using 128 bits of output from /dev/random as a key, memorizing that key, then manually entering it to encrypt and decrypt, you're probably safe.
If, however, you don't want to memorize 128 truly random bits, how are you deriving your key? I hope it's a good password-based key derivation function, not a mere cryptographic hash of the password and a salt.
Then, if you're not careful about how many times you'll attempt to decrypt a ciphertext, you're going to need a message authentication code verifying the ciphertext's integrity before you attempt decryption; or you'll become a padding oracle. Thomas Ptacek wrote a fun dramatization of this failure mode: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~daw/teaching/cs261-f12/misc/if.html
There are many other attacks this application of AES could be prone to, depending on how the actual details flesh out. The underlying cognitive problem is that we humans think by forming mental models of situations; and our mental models are, 99.99999% of the time, insufficiently detailed and precise for implementing crypto securely.

Thanks. I do understand and already heed the high-level lesson you point out. What I sought here were more concrete examples of beginners are likely to make, or at least what the tricky decision points are - precisely to learn. If you have any other examples you can add, that would be really awesome. – xyz Jun 6 '13 at 0:57

Devin Lunsford attempts to fight the world after being kicked out of halfway house in Nashville
07/02/2022 07/02/2022 Wayne Steen
Metro Nashville Police initially encountered 24-year-old Devin Lunsford on June 26th when he was asked to leave his halfway house and became hostile with other roommates and they contacted police. He appeared to be intoxicated and was eventually transported to the hospital for treatment in lieu of arrest. Everyone went about their way, and later that day Lunsford discharged himself from the hospital and called his father and made concerning statements about his own well-being. Nashville Fire medical and police then encountered him once again and attempted to convince him to return to the hospital, however, he refused all assistance. Lunsford then made threats to "fight everyone" while kicking a stranger's vehicle and cycled from appearing sleepy and nodding out to disruptive and combative. He then retreated to his own vehicle, and refused to exit — laughing at officers and asking "are we about to fight right now?" He was ultimately removed from the vehicle by force and cuffed while telling officers "I'll fuck you up if you don't take these cuffs off!" while kicking, spitting, and yelling in the back of the police cruiser.
Devin Lunsford (MNPD)
Devin Lunsford, of Bel Aire Drive in Franklin, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on June 26th, charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $750, and the Davidson County Sheriff's Office gave him pre-trial release from their facility.

One Thought to "Devin Lunsford attempts to fight the world after being kicked out of halfway house in Nashville"
DDDDDuane
He's so pathetically stupid I actually feel sorry for him….


Not only was T4A an amazing opportunity to glean more information about adoption, orphan care, orphan care ministries, HIV, and so much more it was also about meeting precious friends who I've "known" in blog-land for the past four years. Certain people stand out and in this process there are some you just know will be forever friends. When I signed up for this conference I hadn't met any of my room mates, I was flying alone and I couldn't wait.
Where do I begin? After spending an entire weekend with over 800 like minded, Jesus loving, orphan advocating men and woman I can hardly put into words what this did for my soul. I only hope I can put into words what was represented.
This conference was completely centered around the gospel. It wasn't always comfortable, it was challenging, honest, forth right, and not a watered down gospel message in the least. I was in my element. I was with people who like me, desired to do more, wanted to be challenged, and were up for the call of challenging others. It was a breath of fresh air for my soul.
Aaron Ivey did an incredible job leading worship. Hearing 800 people singing to our King was breath taking. Aaron wrote the song in the video below to his son as they waited for him to come home from Haiti. It's incredible. So moving. Aaron is extremely passionate, his band did a fantastic job with leading worship, Aaron's leadership is amazing, his love for the Lord overflows through his music.
Dan Cruver opened up the conference talking about keeping the gospel as the center of orphan care ministries. Also the need for pastors to lead their churches in advocating for the orphan. It made me so incredibly thankful for our pastor, elders, and the stand they take in advocating for orphans, orphan care, and adoption. We are blessed to have a church supportive of adoption and loving the least of these.
The world is not as it should be, no child should be without a father and a mother, no child should have to starve to death. No mother should have to choose between feeding herself or feeding her child. The latest numbers show that there are 163 million orphaned or vulnerable children in the world. That's staggering. We can't ignore the need. The global orphan crisis is HIS mission. Jesus Christ cares for every last one of His children.
I can't shake many of the things said by JD Greear, the pastor of Catalyst Church. His message was pure. Straight up and left me in tears. Here's a sampling from my notes.
This is not about statistics this is about human individuals. Those who love Jesus will want to serve and love on others out of their great love for God. Our lives are not our own. Not to be spent for acquisition. Not an accessory for our lives. How we care for the person in need is an incredible sign of Christianity. It is the gospel lived out.
Why are our churches characterized by their political opinions rather then their pouring out of themselves for others and their great needs?
That last statement was one that hit me like a ton of bricks. There are things the church does well. There are other things the church does not do well. The church is made up of imperfect people, we can always do better. Pouring themselves out for others is an area the church seems to struggle with. I'm not talking about hosting a little dinner party or an event at the church. I'm talking about bringing people INTO our homes. Building relationships with people that the world has deemed "unworthy". Why is it that we shirk that responsibility when it is so very clearly stated in scripture that we are to do exactly that?
Gods plan is to put orphans in families. WE are the ones that get to love on these children. We adopt out of our great love for Him and our love for others. I'm honored to parent these children. It is one of life's greatest blessings for David and I.
Matt Carter, the pastor of Austin Stone church also spoke - here's a small excerpt from his session.
How can a child understand the great love of a heavenly Father if they've never experienced the love of an earthly Father?
Why is Hollywood a louder voice for the plight of the orphan then the church is? We need a movement within the church. Big buildings, programs, are cool but there are 163 million kids running around without families. Something needs to change. It starts with us.
Robert Gilenas - A Pastor in CO spoke about adopting from the foster care system as well as from Ethiopia. They thought their family was complete with two boys and two girls. Then they were told about a young Ethiopian child and wound up bringing home two more children from Africa. Incredible testimony. Here's some of what he shared.
How do we live in a country with a half a million orphans and do nothing about it? 19,000 children a year age out of the system here in the US. They are never brought home into a family. These children never know the love of a father and mother. Psalm 68 - A Father to the Fatherless. If the church would get involved and do something about the orphan crisis here and abroad we wouldn't have orphans. God places the lonely in families. He places them into the empty bed in our houses. He places them in the empty seat in our minivans.
If God is a Father to the fatherless.......the church is the mother.
Robert used an example of a church with less then 50 families - they continue to take children into their homes - a 130 children now - each family makes less then 19,000 a year yet they continue to adopt/foster these children.
Project 127 started to bring churches together - When they began four years ago 875 children were in foster care in CO - Robert told his church he'd promised 10% to be placed in families that first year. He explained that these children needed to be finding homes in our homes. Further more he stated that issues of the heart and issues of the wallet are the biggest issues when it comes to adoption.
Your heart can't tell the difference between a biological child or an adopted child. Money should never get in the way of a child having a home.
What do we mean when we say "I can't afford to adopt"? We are saying God won't provide for His children. Are we saying He's a deadbeat dad? Not so. He will provide.
In the church the way it should look is for every 1 Family that adopts there should be 3-5 families that come together to support the family and make it happen. Working together through finances, services, and support. The church needs to get involved.
I'll post part two tomorrow - Dr. Purvis deserves her own complete post. She is an amazing woman and such an incredible wealth of knowledge.
Here's a few pictures from the weekend!
Ashley. Sweet Ashley. This gal is the one who will call us with news of our referral. It was awesome meeting her and talking with her. Can't wait to be on the phone with her hearing about our little girl!
These lovely ladies challenged me, encouraged me, and made me laugh SO hard! Love you gals, grateful to have served along side you both. Check out the new fall gear at 147 Million Orphans! I LOVE my new stuff!
Only God could orchestrate this. Justin and David used to work together when we all lived in Oregon. Shauna and I met shortly after and we hung out as couples (us with a couple kids and them with one on the way). After a couple years we went our different directions in life, 9 kids between us and we "bump" into each other in blog land. We had a mutual friend and connected that way. Seeing each other for the first time in 10 years at the conference was incredible! God has been working many of the same things in each of our hearts all these years and each of our families have adopted which is just amazing. So fun seeing you guys! We'll have to get our families together one of these days!
Natalie Teabo! Love this mama! So excited that she's moving to Atlanta and will be that much closer to me!
On the last night we all went out to dinner at Hula Hut on Lake Austin. Very fun!
While I was gone David had adventures of his own. Olivia tripped over the super cute curtains we had just put up in her room. She landed dead center on the corner of the wall. A trip to the ER and six stitches later she's on the mend. None of our kids have ever had a broken bone or stitches so this was a new one. I never would have guessed it would be Liv that would be the injured one. When David called my mama heart broke. I wanted nothing more then to be there to hold my girl. I knew she was in good hands but I still bawled. I'm thankful for a precious friend who prayed with me and lifted my girl up to the one who loves her more then I ever could. I bought her a Tacky Headband from Every Mother Matters and she's worn it every single day.
Oh, I would have bawled too! She is so precious...glad she is doing better! And the conference sounds like it was amazing! Wish we could've been there!!
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! I really need to get to this conference next year. Sounds absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait for part 2!
Wow. I am really looking forward to Part 2!! Thank you again for sharing.
God is awesome, hu? I loved having an "old friend" with all my "new friends" - gave it an extra feel of home! David HAS to come next year! Love the pic and may steal it :)!

They do things differently in Queensland.
It must be all that sunshine.
When it came to the inaugural Sunshine Coast Australian Lutheran World Service (ALWS) Walk My Way event on Sunday (4 August), things started early. A 'big burst brekkie' began at 6.30am, followed by an opening worship at 7.30am and by 8.20am, more than 270 blue-shirted walkers hit the bitumen … and boardwalk … and beach en route from Noosa to Coolum, Queensland.
Walk My Way is an ALWS walking challenge which raises money to help support refugee children to go to school. Every $26 raised helps to support one child living in refugee camps in Kenya and Djibouti in Africa to go to school for one year.
Up front on the course between Good Shepherd Lutheran College and Luther Heights Youth Camp were two pastors in running gear – a little different to their normal Sunday garb! LCA Queensland District 1st Assistant Bishop Mark Vainikka and 2nd Assistant Bishop Ben Hentschke were determined to see who could run the 26km in the fastest time. Pastor Mark, who offered chocolates to those who could beat him to the finish line, was first in a time of two hours and nine minutes. Pastor Ben finished third, after Megan Danslow.
Meanwhile, another LCA district assistant bishop, Western Australia's Pastor Peter Hage, completed his Walk My Way 'century' during the Sunshine Coast event, clocking up more than 100kms for the cause, having also participated in the SA and WA Walk My Ways, the latter of which he walked twice. Pastor Peter set himself the 100km-goal to match the more than 100 children his fundraising efforts will help send to school.
Further back, another 10 Queensland pastors – including District Bishop Paul Smith – followed and, at the same time, led by example.
A special joy was seeing the 'Fantastic Fives' – Year 5 students from St James Lutheran School Hervey Bay, around 285kms north of Brisbane – step out in their special hats. Along with a group of Year 10s and 11s from St James, they not only walked but, as a school, also raised enough money to support more than 250 refugee children in Kakuma Refugee Camp to go to school.
St James Principal Luke Schoff said the school had received a visit from ALWS to share about Walk My Way before the event.
'I thought it would be a great thing for our staff to do – I saw it as an opportunity for community involvement in something bigger than us, as well of course as the bigger purpose of helping refugee children go to school', he said. 'Straightaway, my staff came to me and said, "Let's take our students, too". We decided on our Year 5s as they are our next leaders. The response from students was excitement and enthusiasm – not just our Fantastic Fives, but some of our senior students as well. It's a great way for us to build community.'
The most senior walker to take part was Hannelore Kienzle, at 78 years, while some of the youngest participants 'walked' in their prams or travelled by piggyback.
What a delight it was to see old and young, Lutheran family and community friends, walking side-by-side bringing love to life for children who have lost everything. It shows what can happen when Lutheran congregations and Lutheran schools come together, working through ALWS, and supported by the LLL.
While there was a lot of walking – at least 25,000 steps per person – and there was a lot of eating, too! Halfway through the event, an ALWS barbecue jostled with the local Peregian Beach market. Over the day, more than 450 sausages were lovingly sizzled and sauced. Every snag, along with every delicious item at the brekkie and the 'made-It munchies' at the end of the course, was donated.
Meanwhile, the LLL generously funded walkers' t-shirts and the beautiful African carry bags created by the Lutheran Community Sewing Group in Adelaide. (By the way, if you haven't watched the group's video, give yourself three minutes of joy now at https://vimeo.com/331116724)
This generosity, along with the kindness of volunteers who cooked, marshalled and welcomed, meant the walkers' efforts have raised more than $57,000 as of 5 August, which can support 2196 children to go to school.
The Sunshine Coast ALWS Walk My Way, follows earlier events in Adelaide, Darwin and Perth, with 733 walkers and their sponsors raising $240,041 to support 9292 children to go to school.
All of this is part of the ALWS GRACE Project that seeks in 2019 to inspire the Lutheran family across churches, schools and friends, to support 40,000 refugee children to go to school to match the 40,000 students blessed by Lutheran schools in Australia.
The good news is you still have the chance to be part of Walk My Way – by walking, sponsoring someone, or simply giving a donation to help a child go to school. The Gold Coast ALWS Walk My Way happens on 8 March 2020 – and organisers are already planning ways to top the Sunshine Coast's achievement, while the total Queensland aim is to match – or surpass – South Australia's fundraising efforts of more than $140,000, supporting 5450 children.
Planning is also underway for a Melbourne ALWS Walk My Way. And there's energy for a walk in Toowoomba, along with a very special Walk My Way planned for Albury in 2020, to celebrate the 70th birthday of ALWS. That walk will have as its feature Bonegilla Refugee Camp, where ALWS started when a Lutheran pastor began a ministry welcoming these 'strangers'.
So, stay tuned at walkmyway.org.au … where together we can step out to bring love to life!

It's just the the trigger for the background is not working with the same parameters. I have declared the background task in the Declarations tab in Package.appxmanifest file, as shown here:
<Extension Category="windows.backgroundTasks" EntryPoint="App.BluetoothBackgroundTask">
        <BackgroundTasks>
            <Task Type="bluetooth" />
        </BackgroundTasks>
</Extension>

And this is how I am registering the background task:
BluetoothLEAdvertisementWatcherTrigger trigger = new BluetoothLEAdvertisementWatcherTrigger();
trigger.AdvertisementFilter.Advertisement.ManufacturerData.Add(
    new BluetoothLEManufacturerData() {
        CompanyId = 0x4C
    }
);

BackgroundTaskBuilder builder = new BackgroundTaskBuilder {
    Name = "BluetoothWatcher",
    TaskEntryPoint = typeof(BluetoothBackgroundTask).FullName
};
builder.SetTrigger(trigger);
builder.Register();

I know the task is successfully registered because before registering it, I can find the previous one with the same name and unregister it.
Even I tried filering the ManufacturerData with the Data that is coming from the iBeacon too (that filter worked nice with the foreground watcher too).
So, at this point, I can't think in anything more that I could be doing wrong. I've tried changing the StrengthFilter with some values from the few examples on the Internet, but with no luck.
Any ideas?

A: Well, I found the issue. The problem is that the way I am registering the background task is for out-of-process tasks. This means that the background task code must be in another project inside the solution instead of being created in the same project as I was doing. It's not so clear that you need to do it, but the steps inside the documentation for out-of-process tasks mentions it.

Manasquan Savings Bank Partners with Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity to Help Repair Sandy-Damaged Home
MANASQUAN, NJ (October 2, 2014) – Manasquan Savings Bank, a community bank with a 140-year history serving Monmouth and Ocean Counties, has emphasized community throughout its anniversary celebrations in 2014. On September 30, a team of ten from the bank joined Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity (NOHFH) to assist with the painting of a home damaged by Superstorm Sandy in Toms River, and by a fire a year later. In addition to the day's work, the bank made a $1,000 donation.
Members of the team arrived on site bright and early for a painting clinic sponsored by Sherwin Williams. From there, they went on to paint ceilings, walls, and trim with the assistance of the NOHFH team. Participants noted that it was moving to be able to spend time with the homeowners, and to hear their story firsthand. Lunch for the day was donated by Surf Taco of Silverton.
"It feels good to do work for someone who genuinely deserves it," said Heather Schick, AVP, Product Support Specialist at Manasquan Savings Bank.
Sandra Turner, AVP, Corporate Trainer for Manasquan Savings Bank, is a member of the Board of Directors for NOHFH and helped to coordinate the day's events. This was the first time the bank has partnered with the Northern Ocean branch of Habitat for Humanity, and the bank looks forward to more volunteer days with the organization in the future.
"Without dedicated organizations like Northern Ocean Habitat for Humanity, many more families impacted by Superstorm Sandy would still be without the resources to begin rebuilding," said President and CEO James S. Vaccaro. "We are moved as an organization and individually to be able to do our part to help."

You wont notice the difference just by looking at the new salt gill. In fact this is by design. The gill is an internal organ that naturally occurs in a new varietal of Salt creature. These curious little guys are the result of intense breeding programs and thorough documentation. The Gill itself grows inside the body or torso area and seems to be highly adaptable to a vast array of other Salt creatures. In other words, there will be accelerated growth and evolution seen in the next period due to this mutation. The new creature is in strong contrast with the prior adaptations that were achieved using other, more intrusive methods. These methods resulted in elegant and strong species of Salt water creatures, that had obvious manipulations of science, and or gene therapy involved in the growth process. The new method of breeding makes the other methods seem archaic and dated. When doing breath meditations with a Salt "Gilled" creature the user will notice a smooth regulation of flow and a symbiosis not found in other Salt water creatures. While only a small fraction is known about the Salt creature in general, this research has yielded many answers and cemented a reoccurring theme that the Salt creature is highly adaptable and seems to be almost willing to adapt for symbiotic relationships with humans. Further investigation into these phenomena will follow.
Thank you for reading this humble research done by a novice as a passion. This is not meant to be official research conducted using the strict guidelines of the scientific method. Though much is borrowed from it to control variables, I prefer to use my intuition as well when seeking answers. I apologize for any crudities and inconsistencies that are a result of this method and again thank you for you considerations of my thoughts.


Midweek diversion – crochet ?
I don't crochet but can always use another knitting basket. Never thought of actually making one until I found this book at Kinokuniya. It has 16 bags/baskets crocheted with regular natural twine. It also includes a few other misc zakka. This one would be perfect to hold all those tasty morels that we'll find this spring (crossing my fingers).
Just dropped by to check out your blog and say hi. I really enjoy and appreciate your posts at KR. You seem to be a voice of a reason in a sometimes crazy community.
Oh – what an adorable basket! It makes me want to crochet!
I mostly knit but am in a crochet phase currently. Love that basket!

Das 1925 erbaute Industriehaus war als Messehaus der Pforzheimer Schmuckindustrie mit seinem markanten Turm ein wichtiger Bau der Pforzheimer Stadtsilhouette. Insbesondere dadurch, dass es als nahezu einziger Bau der Pforzheimer Innenstadt den britischen Bombenangriff vom 23. Februar 1945 überstand, galt es in den Aufbaujahren nach 1945 den Pforzheimern als Hoffnungssymbol.

Die Entwürfe des Architekten Karl Schradin entstanden unter beratender Mitwirkung von Hermann Billing nach vorangehendem Wettbewerb im Jahr 1924. Den Wiederaufbau nach der Kriegszerstörung leitete der Pforzheimer Architekt Theo Preckl jun. wobei insbesondere die Fenster zum Leopoldplatz in Lage und Form verändert wurden.

Im Industriehaus hatte u. a. der Rechtsanwalt Karl Doerner seine Kanzlei.

2003 wurde das denkmalgeschützte Gebäude abgerissen. Die Rosetten-Ornamente am Turmkopf, entworfen von dem Bildhauer Max Kassube (Pforzheim) wurden beim Abbruch geborgen. Es wurde ein äußerlich an das Original erinnernder Neubau errichtet, der in seinem Inneren die Schmuckwelten Pforzheim (Erlebniswelt rund um das Thema Schmuck und Uhren auf 4000 m²) sowie im Untergeschoss das Pforzheimer Mineralienmuseum mit über 5000 Exponaten enthält. Die Eröffnung war am 17. Juni 2005.

NFL protests continue during Veterans Day weekend
November 13, 2017 / 8:11 AM / CBS/AP
Three players took a knee during the national anthem before the New York Giants game at the San Francisco 49ers, as the rest of the league stood during Veterans Day weekend.
49ers Eric Reid and Marquise Goodwin, both of whom have been protesting for most of the season, knelt, as did Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon, who was just activated. Vernon had been protesting while he was injured.
The NFL Players Association had asked all players to observe a two-minute moment of silence before games to honor veterans. Last month, Commissioner Roger Goodell and several owners said that changing the language from "should stand" to "must stand" was not discussed at the league's fall meetings.
Other players who have been protesting most of the season stood for the anthem this week, including the Seahawks Michael Bennett, who stood before Thursday night's game. Titans receiver Rishard Matthews walked onto the field holding hands with soldiers and stood with teammates for the anthem for the first time since President Donald Trump criticized players for protesting.
Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick began the protest movement last season. He remains unsigned and has filed a complaint that team owners colluded against him because of the protests - aimed at police brutality against African-Americans and other issues.
The California chapter of the NAACP is pushing to get rid of the national anthem, calling the song racist and anti-black.
Bar packed with customers during NFL boycott
Customers packed a New Jersey bar that decided not to show any NFL games to honor veterans during the Veterans Day weekend and to raise money for a veterans' charity instead.
As many as 400 patrons stood and sang the national anthem at Woody's Roadside Tavern in Farmingdale on Sunday.
Veteran Andy Barcellona said the idea came about after NFL players chose to kneel during the national anthem to protest racism and police brutality. He was shocked when the tavern agreed to turn off the football games.
Woody's co-owner Chris Maltese told the Asbury Park Press the bar wasn't trying to be political and just wanted to support veterans.
The event raised money for the Special Forces Association and military families.

Been coming to the house for around 5/6 years and fully intend returning - a beautiful house full of character in a great location to explore all that North Wales has to offer.
We had an excellent week at The Mews; we received a warm welcome from the owner and complimentary treats. The property was built in the 1920's and decorated to match. It is a lovely 'cottage', apeaceful and quiet location just a stones throw from Conwy. The Harbour View chip shop close by is a must and the nearby Co-op has an ATM if you need it. We'd go again as have many others when you read the visitors book, recommendation in deed. Thank you.
Lovely place, lovely position, friendly landlord - outside could do with a paint though.
A lovely property with friendly, helpful owners. Highly recommended.


Residents at Millbrook care home in Stalybridge enjoyed a morning of baking and decorating a batch of delicious cupcakes.
To put a traditional English spin on the baking, Residents decided to add earl grey tea to the mix.
Everyone took turns to stir the mixture, with the cupcakes being decorated with caramel-based icing once cooked.

2015 Porsche Cayenne GTS: This Is It
Damon Lavrinc
Porsche is out with two new Cayennes, and like every model in its stable, there has to be at least a half-dozen variants. Minimum. So it's time to meet the Turbo-wannabe GTS and its base sibling, that – gasp! – no longer has a manual option.
2013 Porsche Cayenne GTS: The Jalopnik Review
An incredibly long time ago, the entry-level Boxster was the best selling car in Porsche's entire…
There's not too much new with the base model, with the 3.6-liter V6 – shared across the VAG line-up – still chugging along with 300 horsepower, and huffing and puffing to hit 62 MPH in 7.7 seconds (7.6 with the optional Sport Chrono pack). But for 2015, Porsche is dropping the manual option in favor of the eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic, because we're assuming the take-rate on the stick was -1 percent.
The new GTS is slightly more compelling, ditching the V8 found in the last model with the twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 putting out 440 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. Porsche claims a 0-62 run of 5.2 seconds (nix a tenth for the Sport Chrono), and a top speed of 163 MPH.
The standard kit includes a sports exhaust, Turbo-repping air intakes and lighting, and flared wheel arches. The suspension has been lowered by 20mm and dropped over 20-inch "RS Spyder" wheels framing the Turbo's larger 390mm front discs. It looks good until you get to the interior, which comes across as bit gauche with its red piping and GTS logo stitched into the headrests.
No matter. Porsche will sell another boatload, with pricing for the base model coming in at $58,300 and the GTS commanding $95,500. Buy up, people! And keep funding those 911s, Caymans, and 918s.
Vzwolf
Now I know I have no interest in Cayennes. How could they ditch the v8? Listen to this:

This endeavor of ours aimed to teach students at local participating colleges how to learn effectively, defeat procrastination, and how to simply enjoy their college experience. This project was developed to help stimulate long-term growth in the region by providing local chapters resources to increase their membership and fiscal standing.
It was undoubtedly a success: a confirmed report indicated that 28 different campuses in our region co-hosted this event with over 771 total participants — the largest recorded attendance of any service project the region has hosted.
