Find help in creating a Provider Connection account, viewing authorization status, working with claims, receiving messages, and more.
If you've never accessed Provider Connection before and do not have a user ID or password, below are some tips to help you with creating an account.
IPAs/medical groups must provide the correct TIN associated with the Blue Shield PIN.
Individual providers must provide the correct SSN associated with the Blue Shield PIN.
A provider organization Tax ID Number (TIN) is required to register as an Account Manager and determines the provider-related information that account may access.
Provider ID Number (PIN) is an identifier assigned by Blue Shield used within Blue Shield to uniquely identify a billing provider and all data associated with that provider.
If no Account Manager is assigned to your TIN, you can become an Account Manager or designate an Account Manager for the TIN you entered. If you decide to become an Account Manager, you'll be asked to agree to the terms required of an Account Manager before continuing with your registration as an Account Manager.
Choose a user ID that is between 8 and 20 characters long. Do not include punctuation, special characters or spaces.
Make a note of the user ID and password you entered, as you will need them each time you log in to Provider Connection.
If you agreed to become an Account Manager, you will need to complete a legal disclosure form to obtain approval to access secure member information. This step is critical to help us maintain secure records and protect private health information.
Login is required to access the secure tools and content of Provider Connection website. You must have an account before you can log in. An Account Manager registered for your organization must create a user account for you. You will need your user ID and password to log in.
Enter your user ID in the "User ID" field.
The functionality described below is for Account Managers only. If you are not an Account Manger and have questions about account management, please contact your Account Manager.
Only Account Managers registered as a business category of "Provider" may add a Tax ID Number to the account. Account Managers registered as other than "Provider" must submit a request offline using the Legal Disclosure Form Addendum.
Account Managers can select the Tax ID Numbers (TINs) and the corresponding Blue Shield Provider ID Numbers (PINs) for an individual user. Provider Connection displays all the TINs for which the Account Manager is registered.
De-selecting the TIN checkbox will prevent the user from accessing information for a specific provider organization's TIN, including all associated PINs. PINs may be selected or de-selected individually. Selecting all TIN checkboxes will allow the user to access all data for that provider organization.
To determine the TINs and PINs for a user, select each TIN and associated PINs that you want the user to be able to access.
To prevent a user from viewing data associated with a specific TIN or PIN, un-check the box adjacent to that TIN or PIN.
An Account Manager may view the list of registered users they manage, reset user passwords, and add, edit, transfer or delete a user account. The list of accounts can be sorted by Name, User ID, Role, Access (level of access), Email address, the Modified date, or account Status.
To edit a user's account information or to reset a user's password, select the user ID from the list of accounts. Update the user's account information on the Edit Account page, then click "Save and Finish" or "Save and Edit Tax IDs" to update the TINs associated with this user's account.
Update TINs associated with a user's account by selecting or de-selecting the Tax IDs this user account should have access to/be associated with. When finished, click "Save and Finish." You can exit this area anytime by clicking "I want to exit."
To reset a user's password, select the user ID from the list of accounts. On the Edit Account page, click the "Reset Password" button and the user's password will be reset to "Password!".
Download a spreadsheet of user accounts by clicking "Download-List" and saving the file to your hard drive when prompted.
An Account Manager may transfer a user account to another Account Manager at any time, provided another Account Manager is eligible to receive a transfer. The receiving Account Manager must be registered with the same provider organization(s) as the transferring Account Manager.
To transfer a user's account, select the account using the checkbox next to the account name, then click the "Transfer" button. The system will display the Account Managers eligible (if any) to receive the transfer.
If no other Account Manager is eligible to receive a transfer, you will need to coordinate with another Account Manager to ensure he/she is registered with the same provider organization(s) as the user account you wish to transfer. Both the user account and the new Account Manager must be registered under the same Tax ID numbers.
To find Account Manager contact information for TINs associated with your account, select "Account Managers by Tax ID." Select a TIN to see associated Account Manager contact information.
User account status can be either "Active" or "Inactive." Only an Account Manager can disable or re-activate a user account. Many Account Managers prefer to disable an account rather than delete it. The result is the same: the user account can no longer access any secure feature.
An Account Manager may delete a user account at any time. Keep in mind that this will permanently delete this user's account.
Please note: Deleting an Account Manager's account may have the effect of disabling all of the user accounts under that Account Manager. You should transfer these user accounts before disabling or deleting an Account Manager account.
An Account manager can add and remove Tax ID Numbers (TINs) associated with their organization as well as update the organization's contact information.
Enter the TIN in the field.
Click the "Add Tin" button.
The TIN will move from the field on the left to the list on the right. Repeat these steps until all TINs are entered.
Select the TIN to remove from the list.
Click the "Remove TIN" button.
The TIN will be removed from the field. Repeat these steps until all desired TINs are removed.
Select the appropriate field and enter the new information.

I stopped by Pier One yesterday hoping to pick up some little something for the Thanksgiving table or for a treat for the kids. To my amazement, there wasn't a thing in the store relating to Thanksgiving. It was totally about Christmas.
Now I like Christmas as much as anyone, but does it have to start so early? Decorations are up all over and already Christmas music is playing on Sirius and a local radio station. I remember a time when none of that happened until after today. Does that mean I'm old or is this early welcome a fairly new phenomenon with Thanksgiving being an almost forgotten day wedged between Halloween and Christmas?
Whatever, I'm holding on to Thanksgiving. I like it because it's relatively stress free and a day that the hubby and I so enjoy. Most years our family gathers at our house which is a gift as this is the only holiday we lay claim to. For years everyone has chosen a special thing to bring which makes the preparation oh so easy for me. We always stuff ourselves, but that doesn't keep us from looking forward to leftovers the next day.
As important as turkey and all the trimmings are, what is really special about this day is what each of us has for which to be thankful. Even when life isn't perfect, there's good in each day be it sunshine or rain, laughter or tears. I try every day to be thankful, but today my heart is even more full because my small family is in one place. That doesn't happen very often.
In addition to the obvious gifts, I am also thankful for each of you, known and unknown, who take the time to read my words and from time to time offer an appreciative or encouraging comment. Enjoy your day to the fullest and join me in holding Thanksgiving dear.
You share the true spirit of Thanksgiving. Sadly so many in our country bombard with the Black Friday mentality that this special day of hospitality and family and so much to be grateful for is missed. Thankful for your sweet respite. Enjoy your day!
How right you are. I don't know when everything got so commercial taking away so much of what we should be sharing.
Happy Thanksgiving. I share your feelings, exactly. Building family traditions, and then years of nostalgia is heart-warming.
Thank you. I am happy to have you in my blog world.
You're welcome. And the feelings are mutual! You make me feel special! A special gift from you on Thanksgiving.
and I am so grateful for your loving and generous heart.
Thank you. I am grateful that we have been "acquainted" for some time.
Well said! Thanksgiving, it seems, is hidden under the commercialism of Christmas. We must be intentional and pause to be thankful. We have so much tor which to be thankful. I'm thankful that we've become virtual friends. 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving!
Me too, Kim. I always look forward to your posts and comments here.
Thank you. I always appreciate your presence.
Hope you had a beautiful celebration!
Thank you Kathleen. I thought about you today and hope all is well.
We share your thoughts. Messed up commercialism.
Our favorite holiday has always been Thanksgiving!
Counting our blessings with Family and friends.
Why Christmas decor before today?
How nice to have your family together for Thanksgiving.
I don't start Christmas until after Thanksgiving. I agree Thanksgiving has been pushed away and Halloween and Christmas are the big money makers.
I do hold Thanksgiving dear and appreciate your blogging friendship.

Q: JS: css property and value in one variable var trns1 = '"transition": "all 1s"';

Why doesn't that work?
$('#box').css({"transform": "translate(xy)", trns1 });

Shouldn't that be exactly the same like:
$('#box').css({"transform": "translate(xy)", "transition": "all 1s" });

A: Nope. Your JavaScript object isn't correct – you can't add a string in and expect it to work as a key value pair.
This will work:
var trns1 = { "transition": "all 1s"};
$('#box').css(trns1);

If you needed to add more options, you could do so easily:
var trns1 = { "transition": "all 1s"};
trans1.color = 'red';
trans1.height = '20px';
$('#box').css(trns1);

At the end of this trans1 would be
{
    'color' : 'red',
    'height' : '20px',
    'transition': 'all 1s'
}

Edit
Based on your comment you can easily chain events in jQuery.
var trns1 = {"transition": "all 0.3s ease"};
var trns2 = {"transform": "translateY(4vw)"};

And then use them like this:
$('#box').css(trns1).css(trns2);

DEATH VALLEY, CA – The National Park Service (NPS) has completed its final environmental reviews of proposed projects to repair flood damage at Scotty's Castle. Meanwhile, work has already started on projects approved earlier. The popular historic site could be partially open by late 2020 and is expected to be fully open by late 2021.
A severe flash flood on the night of October 18, 2015 sent water, mud, and rocks rushing down Grapevine Canyon. The flood broke through the walls of the historic Garage, in use by the NPS as the site's visitor center, and filled it with four feet of debris. Two other historic buildings were damaged by the flood. The main house escaped the path of the flood, but bore lesser damage from water intrusion from heavy rain.
The NPS prepared two environmental assessments (EAs), each of which addressed different proposed actions to repair flood-damaged infrastructure in Grapevine Canyon. The Bonnie Clare Road Reconstruction EA was finalized in May 2018, and approved proposals to reconstruct 7.6 miles of Bonnie Clare Road, install 4,000 feet of waterline under the road, reconstruct damaged portions of the historic concrete and wire fence, and stabilize the historic bridge and gatehouse.
Road and Highway Builders started work in December 2018 on all four of these projects under contract managed by Federal Highways Administration.
The Scotty's Castle Flood Rehabilitation EA was finalized on March 12, 2019. Some proposed actions approved in this EA include repairing historic structures, replacing components utility systems, building a second public restroom, building flood control structures, and building a cooling tower for a replacement heating, ventilation, and cooling (HVAC) system. This EA completes the legal requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), but each project will need additional review to meet requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).
If things go smoothly, several major contracts should be awarded within the next 6 months.
The EA and Finding of No Significant Impact documents can be viewed at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/castle.


Development of the BSD Professional Certification Exam is officially underway. A Job Task Analysis (JTA) survey for the exam was held in October and November of 2009. The results have been collated and the report titled "BSD Professional Certification Job Task Analysis Survey Results" is now available at http://www.bsdcertification.org/downloads/BSDP_JTA_Report.pdf.
The 93 page report details how the BSD community evaluated the exam knowledge domains and specific items in each domain. Each item was rated for its "Importance" and "Frequency" for a typical senior level BSD system administrator. The results will help determine the items that will be a part of the BSDP exam.
As with the previous JTA for the BSDA exam, the comments make a very interesting part of the survey report. Some were very vocal about specific topics such as installation and security. It was actually refreshing to see how much interest there is in the BSD Professional exam. Check it out for yourself!

2015 Capital One Orange Bowl: Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets -- Game Time, TV Schedule, and More
Teams that are more similar than different square off in Miami.
By David Wunderlich Dec 31, 2014, 9:00am EST
Share All sharing options for: 2015 Capital One Orange Bowl: Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets -- Game Time, TV Schedule, and More
In an alternate universe—two of the three possible alternate universes, actually—Mississippi State would be making its first ever Sugar Bowl appearance opposite Baylor. The Fates and conference commissioners gave us the one with Miami being the destination for the Bulldogs, though, who are making their third Orange Bowl game. It's nothing to be disappointed about, of course. The other two came in 1936 and 1940, so long ago that the SEC itself was less than 10 years old and in those seasons contained Sewanee, Tulane, and this game's opponent, Georgia Tech. The Orange remains the only one of the four BCS bowls that State has made it to, but after a 74-year gap, another visit to South Florida is no unwelcome occurrence.
Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Time: 8 p.m. ET TV: ESPN Live Stream: WatchESPN Radio: Misssissippi State | Georgia Tech | ESPNRadioPhoto: Spruce Derden -- USA TODAY Sports
For the Jackets, it's their first trip back to the Orange Bowl since their now-vacated 2009 ACC Championship season. The team is fortunate not to live in the one of those alternate universes that would put them outside the New Year's Six in favor of Kansas State. It's the seventh Orange Bowl for the Ramblin' Wreck, though only its second as an ACC member. Its first four came as an SEC member, and its fifth came during the team's independent days. It's a rare sight to see either of these teams in this bowl, though slightly less rare in GT's case.
So both teams should be savoring this game, but neither is likely to simply be happy to be here. Mississippi State is looking to secure a top ten finish, a real accomplishment for a program that doesn't often finish anywhere in the polls. The Yellow Jackets are gunning for the same feat, and they have a statement to make. The ACC could really use a third team to rise up next to FSU and Clemson, and beating a second SEC team this season—particularly in a CFP bowl this time—would stake a decent claim there.
1Choose your option. Even as the NFL has inched its way closer to "college" offenses over the past few years, this game won't look anything like games on Sundays do. Dan Mullen continues to run a true spread option with roots going back to Rich Rodriguez's West Virginia teams (among others). Paul Johnson's flexbone is a more flexible version of the wishbone, the triple option attack that hasn't been widely used in 40 years. The game will be an excellent contrast between the new school and old school options, both of which clearly have room to thrive in the college game. Variety is the spice of life, and it's also a reason why college football is more fun to watch than the NFL.
2SEC vs. ACC. If you're into the whole Conference Wars thing, then this game is a potential revenge spot. In Rivalry Week, the ACC went 4-0 against the SEC. Three of the victors—Florida State, Louisville, and Clemson—were playing teams with noticeably worse records and should have won. The best of the four wins, and the only won really worth crowing about, was Georgia Tech's vanquishing of Georgia. So, here the SEC's other Bulldogs have a chance to avenge that game. It'd be an appropriately symbolic event, what with the West needing to clean up after the East, but that's where the league is at right now.
3Preparation is key. We should know pretty early in this game if Mississippi State is going to have a chance to win. The Georgia Tech flexbone is best used in the regular season when teams don't have a lot of time to get ready for it. Tellingly, Johnson is just 1-5 in bowl games in his current post, with the sole win coming in the 2012 Sun Bowl against Lane Kiffin's USC. If the Bulldog defense looks lost in the first few possessions, then not only will it probably be a long game for them, but we'll also wonder what exactly they did for a month. Early success for the MSU defense may not guarantee a win, but the opposite simply cannot happen.
4Josh Robinson vs. GT. Georgia Tech played in six games decided by one score or less. In four of them, the Yellow Jackets allowed a 100-yard rusher. The exceptions were offensively challenged Virginia Tech and pass happy/run poor UNC. Robinson was great through the first two months of the season but had a secretly quiet November in which he never topped 64 yards in a game. Two of the five games having a low total were simply due to resting in blowouts, but he ran for 3.4 yards per carry on Arkansas, 3.1 against Alabama, and 3.7 against Ole Miss. If Robinson has another game like those in November, it's going to be tough for State to pull out the victory.
5 Red zone. If there's one area of the field that will decide the game, it's the red zone. Mississippi State actually wasn't all that good at stopping teams from gaining yards. The Bulldogs were tied for ninth in the SEC in yards per play against I-A competition and were even with Kentucky in that regard. That comparison doesn't inspire confidence. Yet, MSU has the best red zone defense in the conference, holding opponents to scores in just 59.4% of trips. That's more than ten percentage points better than second place Arkansas. Georgia Tech was 11th in the ACC in red zone scoring, acquiring points just under 80% of the time. As long as MSU doesn't give up big play TDs, its red zone defense should be able to win the day.
THREE TO WATCH
Justin Thomas, QB, Georgia Tech: Through the end of the regular season, the Yellow Jackets actually had the nation's best offense as rated by F/+. The engine that makes the attack go is Thomas, who has improved as the season went along into perhaps Paul Johnson's best quarterback yet in Atlanta. With four 100-yard rushing performances, he does get things done on the ground. What sets him apart is his passing, where a decent day will net him the most passing yards of any Tech signal caller under Johnson. He also has a 17-5 TD-to-INT ratio, far and away the best in the flexbone era. He can burn the Mississippi State defense either way if it sells out too much in one phase of the game.
Jeremy Brevard -- USA TODAY Sports
Benardrick McKinney, LB, Mississippi State: When defending the triple option, defensive linemen can make a difference by plowing over offensive linemen and getting to the mesh point early. With Tech employing many of its (in)famous cut blocks, though, it'll be up to the second level to keep things in check. McKinney is one of the nation's best linebackers, with him potentially being a first round pick in the NFL Draft this spring. He easily could end up leading the team in tackles, and just how far up the field those tackles come could decide the difference between win and loss.
Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State: Georgia Tech's run defense was inconsistent this year, sometimes playing well in losses and poorly in wins. Its pass defense was more predictable, playing its three worst games in terms of passing efficiency allowed in two losses and a narrow four-point win. Prescott may have thrown for plenty of yards in his team's two losses, but it was more thanks to his two highest number of attempts than anything. He needs to be better than he was in those games, and if his attempt total creeps up into the 30s, then trouble is likely afoot.
With both teams preferring to run the ball, this game will probably be the quickest of the New Year's Six. I don't know if ESPN's ad department will allow any of the big money games to run below three hours, but if any of them will get there, it's this one. The long layoff and time to prepare favors MSU, and the Bulldogs have a more complete team anyway. It should be an enjoyable game between two good teams, but I like Mullen's bunch to outlast the Yellow Jackets in the end. Mississippi State 31, Georgia Tech 27

DEEP PURPLE Is 'Turning To Crime' With Mugshots and New Music On Website
By BLABBERMOUTH.NET|2021-09-10T13:20:15-05:00September 5th, 2021|Categories: New Music, Rock News|Tags: Deep Purple|Comments Off on DEEP PURPLE Is 'Turning To Crime' With Mugshots and New Music On Website
Legendary rockers DEEP PURPLE have launched a countdown clock online for what is expected to be an announcement of the first details of the group's new music. The countdown, which is scheduled to hit zero on October 6 at 7:00 a.m. PDT / 10:00 a.m. EDT, can be found on the domain name TurningToCrime.com — a possible song or album title — where visitors are redirected to a page on the web site of DEEP PURPLE's record label, earMUSIC. The landing page features mugshot-like photos of bandmembers Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice, Steve Morse and Don Airey, along with the text "Turning To Crime" and the aforementioned countdown clock.
Last December, DEEP PURPLE bassist Roger Glover revealed during a virtual meet-and-greet with Finnish fan Anssi Herkkola that the band was planning to enter the studio in 2021 to begin work on another album. Speaking about how he and the other members of PURPLE have been spending their coronavirus downtime, Roger said: "All this COVID situation has meant that we can't tour. We're twiddling our thumbs, really, for over a year, and the idea was to possibly go back in and do another album. And so we're just working towards that. It's so quick after we'd done the last album, [and] maybe that will spoil things, but we're gonna try and do another album at some point next year. We're experimenting with stuff."
DEEP PURPLE's latest album, "Whoosh!", was released in August 2020 via earMUSIC. The LP was once again helmed by Canadian producer Bob Ezrin (KISS, PINK FLOYD, ALICE COOPER), who also worked on the band's previous two studio albums, 2017's "Infinite" and 2013's "Now What?!"
Glover told Den Of Geek about the PURPLE songwriting process: "All our songs come from jamming. We don't actually write songs, they just evolve as we play. The first writing session is usually a lot of fun. We just explore different rhythms and riffs and whatever, and then take a break to listen to them, and figure out which ones we really want to work on, and that's the second writing session. And then we go to the studio and record them, but at this point, we rarely have finished vocals or lyrics. It's usually when the album has been all recorded instrumentally that [singer] Ian Gillan and I go off on our own somewhere for a couple of weeks and we write the words. Sometimes he writes on his own, sometimes I write my own. Sometimes we write together. And that's how it comes out.
He added: "You don't go to a PURPLE session with anything like a finished song. You go with an idea, and we all work on it together. It's got to be a collective. That's the point of the band — it's a collective. So, one person couldn't write a DEEP PURPLE song. It takes five of us.
"We've always done it that way. It's a strange way to write songs, I know. Most people write the songs before they go in the studio, we write them after we've been in the studio. But it was like that in '69 when I joined the band. It's been the same ever since."
In the Den Of Geek interview, Glover also said that DEEP PURPLE has "always" been a democratic group. "It was right from when I first joined the band," he explained. "We decided that whoever writes any particular idea, we all share, because we all contribute. The way we play is almost as much a part of the writing process as what the riff or the lyrics are. So we all shared everything. It didn't last that way. When I left the band, and Gillan left the band, it changed. It changed up until when Steve Morse joined. When Steve Morse joined, we said, 'Right, let's share everything.' It takes away stress, it takes away ego, it takes away jealousy, it takes away bad vibes. And I think we all share and we all write for it. We all work our bits. So that's the way we do it, and it is a democratic band."

Cracks in the Cobblestone by Susan E. Sagarra
Cozy Mysteries, Debut Authors, Latest Books
July 30, 2015 by ITW
Susan E. Sagarra's debut mystery novel, CRACKS IN THE COBBLESTONE, is the story of two vastly different women who have a mutual obsession with the Titanic tragedy. That calamity presents itself to each woman in different ways to help solve a long-forgotten mystery in the quirky river town of Tirtmansic.
Sagarra has always been intrigued with the historic catastrophe. "I have an unexplained fascination with, or connection to, the Titanic disaster, and my lucky number is 12," she said. "When I set out to write my book, I looked at the calendar the day I started writing and it was April 12, 2010. So I decided to start part of the novel on April 12 . . . of 1912. I did not even think about the year's significance until I researched important events and realized the Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, three days after I had determined my written journey would begin."
But this was only one of several coincidences along the way. Several years earlier, when Sagarra was the managing editor of a St. Louis, Missouri-based newspaper, she had been invited to see the Titanic exhibit at the Saint Louis Science Center. "At the beginning of the exhibit, they give you a 'boarding pass' that depicts a real passenger who was on the ship and you have the opportunity to experience the event as that person," Sagarra said. "The pass gives details about the person and my passenger, a woman named Mrs. Edward Beane (Ethel Clark), was one of just twelve newlywed brides on the ship. At the end of the exhibit, you find out if 'you' survived. She did."
Sagarra dug out the boarding pass from her trunk of memorabilia and researched Ethel Beane. She ended up paying homage to Mrs. Beane in the book.
The next serendipitous event occurred when she received a gift from her brother. "He gave me a book called I Survived the Titanic, by Lawrence Beesley. Mr. Beesley described how he had survived in lifeboat No. 13, which spooked me. He was in the same boat as Ethel Beane. My brother did not know I describe this woman in my novel when he gave me the present."
Sagarra hinted at yet another weird coincidence involving Beane that emerged during her research. "There is one more twist associated with this woman and her husband that relates to the title of my book, but you will have to read it for yourself to find out."
Another interesting element is that the novel is set in a fictional town with a street that is modeled after Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri, where Sagarra worked as a newspaper reporter early in her journalism career. The fictional street, plus Mug's Pub, the Main Informer office, the Brass Inn, and Annabelle Adams' School for Young Ladies are inspired by real places that have personal historical significance for Sagarra.
"I used the old St. Charles Journal building, where I spent the first five years of my career, to visualize the fictional Main Informer and the Brass Inn," she said. "Mug's Pub is based on what used to be Rumple's Pub on Main Street, where my girlfriends and I hung out after dance class and became friends with the proprietor. I have heard that the landlord of the Rumple's Pub building had a replica of the Titanic in the private upstairs area. The grounds of the school are inspired by Lindenwood College, my alma mater. I have always loved the arched entranceway, the tree-lined road leading to the buildings, the swings, and the gazebo, which are described in the novel."
Interestingly, her plot is propelled by some unexplained paranormal activity. "Documented ghost sightings on Main Street in St. Charles and at Lindenwood created a nice framework for me to incorporate paranormal activity, which drives my fictional reporter to the mystery that is begging to be solved," Sagarra concluded.
Susan E. Sagarra, a native of St. Louis, Mo., is a consultant in writing, editing and public/media relations. She previously was the first managing editor of a St. Louis-based newspaper, West Newsmagazine, for nearly 15 years and most recently was editor of the Show-Me Institute.
Sagarra has worked as the first communications director of the Gateway Section of the PGA; a sports editor for the Suburban Journals of Greater St. Louis (Saint Charles County bureau); and a public relations intern for the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team.
Sagarra has earned numerous journalism awards, including first place in the National Federation of Press Women-Missouri Chapter annual contest. She also received the Missouri Women Legislators' Award for her coverage of Missouri state government.
Sagarra received a bachelor of arts degree in English and communications from Lindenwood College and a master of arts degree in communications from Lindenwood.

McDonald's New UK Restaurant - 'McDonald's To Go'
Authors: S K Kohli
Topics: McDonald's; Restaurants; Fleet street; UK; City workers; Touch screen; Kiosks; Menu; Takeaways; Technology; Business operations; Revolutionise; Personalised marketing and customisations
McDonald's UK had in July 2019 launched their new restaurant 'McDonald's To Go' on Fleet Street, in London. The restaurant provided takeaways only and was smaller than a typical McDonald restaurant. Customers used a touch screen to place an order and paid for to it with their card, they had no other choice. The company had said that the restaurant's concept was part of their ongoing business investment strategy to develop 'restaurant experience'. The new restaurant was launched in London; McDonald's UK would later launch more of them across UK. Business analysts had hailed the new restaurant as the McDonald's of the future and had said that it had the potential to revolutionise the fast food industry. However, going forward, the new concept restaurant would have to wade through a myriad of challenges. Does the McDonald's new restaurant have the potential to revolutionise the fast food industry? Would more restaurant chains follow in McDonald's footsteps, and set up their own 'To Go' like restaurants in busy areas of their cities?

When reading the fine print of almost any insurance policy, one will see a host of often daunting insurance policy conditions. Almost all insurance policies, including liability, crime, kidnap and ransom, and property insurance policies call for "notice" of claims within a certain period of time.
Additionally, many insurance policies, such as property or crime policies, call for the filing of a proof of loss within a set amount of time and also may require that any suit against the insurance company for its failure to pay a claim (in part or in full) must begin within a reduced statute of limitations period-sometimes as short as 12 months. Such a provision may even be found in a liability policy, although this is rare.
Policyholders should be careful with these time-sensitive provisions as insurance companies often seek a complete forfeiture of insurance coverage when arguing that the policyholder failed to comply with them–even where no harm to the insurance company has resulted.

For more than 100 years, the in-situ extraction of energy in coal in usable form has been recognized as the most potentially active energy production alternative. Fires potentially active energy production alternative. Fires have started spontaneously in coal mines and burned for decades without the help of man, evidence of the technical feasibility of the concept. However, control and economics were problems. From Siemen's proposal of the concept in 1868 through the numerous experiments of many nations, the idea has persisted in spite of limited technical and economic success. Interest in in-situ recovery came to a halt in the 1960's because of the abundance of low-cost oil and natural gas. The changing energy picture of the 1970's has renewed interest in in-situ gasification. Underground coal gasification (UCG) has remained attractive during the years, when compared with mining and surface processing of coal, because the process (1) has greatly reduced capital requirements, (2) has reduced manpower requirements, (3) can recover otherwise unusable resources, and (4) has the potential to reduce environmental impact. Although proposed processes vary greatly as to type of process and operating conditions, all attempt to process and operating conditions, all attempt to introduce a gasifying medium (some combinations of air, oxygen, and steam) into the coal seam to produce combustible gas by partial combustion of coal and to extract the product gas from the coal seam. Several processes are technically feasible, but have been plagued processes are technically feasible, but have been plagued by problems with product quantity and quality control. The primary reason that UCG has not been successful commercially is that the economics has not been favorable. Perhaps the greatest advantage of UCG is that the process offers a way to use a resource that otherwise is unrecoverable by conventional means.
Past UCG Concepts Past UCG Concepts Past processes may be grouped into four general Past processes may be grouped into four general categories: (1) vertical shaft methods, (2) packed-bed methods, (3) long-wall techniques, and (4) blind borehole techniques. The underground gasification research conducted before 1971 has been reported.' More recent work in this area was presented at UCG symposiums during 1975-77. These techniques generally were developed for coal seams that were below the ground water table and were thick enough to justify the relatively high percentage of drilling through the overburden vs drilling percentage of drilling through the overburden vs drilling in the coal bed. Recently, UCG development has shifted from unrecoverable coal seams to commercially viable coal seams, where UCG is potentially a more economical recovery technique.
Proposed Kentucky UCG Concept Proposed Kentucky UCG Concept In the Appalachian region, numerous coal seams outcrop above the ground water table. These seams are less than 20 in. (51 cm) thick; no underground mining systems exist today for mining these seams. Strip mining can only mine a limited amount of coal in these thin seams because of the excessive overburdens. U.S. reserves of these thin or dipping seams are estimated to range from 150 to 680 billion tons (136 to 617 Pg). The Soviet UCG experiments have shown that applying present UCG techniques to thin seams (30 in. (76 cm)] or less results in a gas of 80 Btu/cu ft (2981 kJ/m3) or less. The reduced heating value of the gas is caused by excessive heat losses to the surrounding strata in the UCG chamber. Reducing the gasification temperature will reduce this heat loss and allow recovery of these seams. We propose a UCG concept that relies on negative pressure in the gasification zone and lower temperatures. pressure in the gasification zone and lower temperatures. With an extension of present technology of auger mining, the process can prepare the seam for UCG. In the initial tests, the gasification ports are auger holes drilled horizontally from the surface; no special fracturing techniques are anticipated since the auger process increases the permeability of the coal layer between successive auger holes. Air and steam enter one auger hole. This gasification medium will pass through the gasification zone and be pumped out of the following auger hole. The gasification zone is slightly subatmospheric. Air can enter through the previous gasified zone and through the entrance port and also can leak through the sides and overburden. The steam/air ratio can be adjusted to compensate for air leakage from other areas. We anticipate that air leakage from outside the seam will be minimal in comparison with the air passing through previously gasified areas. Some gas from the gasification previously gasified areas. Some gas from the gasification process can be used to power the auger process. process can be used to power the auger process. We propose that the augering process can recover 40 to 60% of the coal. UCG should recover an additional 25%. Thus, the proposed recovery will range from 65 to 85%. This is substantially more than other UCG processes. processes. Our process uses much existing technology and has minimal environmental effect because of negative pressures. Developmental areas include research in fire pressures. Developmental areas include research in fire control and auger techniques for extending present augur limits beyond 600 to 2,000 ft (183 to 610 m). Evaluation of the concept began with a computer simulation and laboratory measurements in a quartz tube gasifier with a movable heater for heat-loss compensation.

Well I think it is time to give a pair of Legend Compression Wear away. I absolutely think these are the best compression socks and sleeves on the market and want to share a pair with you. You can check out my review here.
The winner will win their choice of (1) pair of Legend Performance Socks or (1) pair of Legend Compression Sleeves in your preferred color! Talk about a sweet deal. I just ask that you follow the details below!
This contest is in not sponsored by Legend Compression Wear.
Visit here to check out Legend Compression Wear!!!
Give my blog a follow if you aren't already for future giveaways!
I have used compression gear in training but never during a race.
I know you through THP and have followed you on Twitter for quite a while, so I know you are a runner. I am just getting back into running myself and hoping to run a mini-marathon later this year. In the past, I have battled shin splints from time to time. I have never worn compression gear before, but noticed on the Legend website the mention of extending the life of your legs and aiding in faster recovery. These socks have my attention and I would love to try a pair out prior to investing in several pair.
As I get older recovering from difficult training sessions seems to take longer. I've used compression in the past as well as foam rolling with some success. Another method that works for me is a nice easy bike ride, it moves fluid back into the muscle which speeds recovery. I'd love to try Legend Compression Performance Socks and would probably go with black or blue.
I have used compression socks some, mostly to help with recovery. Seems to help with occasional aches in my calves. Occasionally have slept in them to also help with the aches.
I love them and use them for recovery.
I love compression socks and wear them a ton. I've only tried one brand though (not legend) and I feel like I should branch out and try others. Who knows? I may like another brand better.
I love compression socks! My long runs would not be complete without them!

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions contains all the fun gameplay and dialogue of the Game Boy Advance original, as well as an optional Easy mode for younger or more inexperienced players.
The game also includes a side story called Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser, which tells the story of the game from the perspective of Bowser's minions, led by Captain Goomba. Nintendo revealed that two new amiibo figures would be introduced: Goomba and Koopa Troopa. The new amiibo and the existing Boo amiibo figure will be compatible with the game. The amiibo, and the game, are scheduled to launch separately on Oct. 6.
Nintendo ended the day by making a splat-tastic mess with an international flair. Competitors from four different global regions (U.S., Japan, Europe and Australia/New Zealand) competed for world dominance in the 2017 Splatoon 2 World Inkling Invitational. "Deadbeat" from the United States emerged as the new global champions. Nintendo Treehouse: Live at E3 returns 10 a.m. PT on Wednesday. The day will include more live gameplay, game details and developer commentary, as well as two competitions. The 2017 Pokkén Tournament DX Invitational is scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m., while the 2017 ARMS Open Invitational is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. PT.

A sampling of other exclusive content revealed today during Nintendo Treehouse: Live at E3 included:
Fire Emblem Warriors: Colosseum mode offers different scenarios with Fire Emblem heroes facing off and highlighting their over-the-top moves and action. In this scenario, Xander, the crown prince of Nohr, storms Hoshido Castle on a mounted steed through a gauntlet of different Fire Emblem heroes, like Corrin, Marth and Chrom, to an ultimate final showdown with Ryoma. Additionally, two new amiibo figures, Chrom and Tiki, will be compatible with the game.
Super Mario Odyssey: Members of the Nintendo Treehouse showcased live gameplay of an exclusive area not available in the show-floor demo, revealing new game-play mechanics, new capture targets and new ways of interacting with the environment. This lush, wooded kingdom showcased some of the surprises in store for players when Super Mario Odyssey launches on Oct. 27.
Metroid: Samus Returns: Earlier today, Nintendo announced a new Metroid game for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems: Metroid: Samus Returns, a modern reimagining of the 1991 Game Boy adventure Metroid II: Return of Samus. Nintendo Treehouse members also announced two new amiibo figures – Samus Aran and Metroid – will be released as a set alongside the game. This game is also compatible with the Zero Suit Samus and Samus amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. series. (amiibo functionality details will be revealed at a later date.) While supplies last, fans will also be able to purchase a special edition of the game, which includes a physical version of the game, a sound-selection CD featuring 25 tracks from across the Metroid franchise and a reversible title-sheet insert for the game case, for a suggested retail price of $49.99.

Nintendo really came out with a lot of surprises, especially the new Pokemon RPG for the Switch and Metroid Prime 4!
Fire Emblem Warriors looked really cool. Being a Koei Tecmo fan I'm totally excited for that one.

WisconsinWeekly: Foxconn's future in Wisconsin remains bright — or bleak
By Wisconsin Watch | February 4, 2019
Massive manufacturing plant stories shift
Of note: Wisconsinites have been whipsawed this week by a stories questioning whether Foxconn will follow through on plans to build a $10 billion manufacturing plant near Racine after a top executive was quoted as saying, "In Wisconsin we're not building a factory." The latest story is that the plant, which would make small LCD screens — a change from the original plan to make large screens — is now back on. Will Foxconn create 13,000 jobs, as promised? What types of jobs will they be? How much of the $4 billion-plus in state and local incentives and spending will Wisconsinites be stuck with if the plant is cancelled? Stay tuned.

Before getting started on this blog, I wanted to post a few responses from several of my readers to my "Offense vs. Defense" blog of last week. Thought you would be interested in their comments, amongst a dozen others or so.
"Fred, I think this was one of your most educational and articulate posts yet. However, I think you left out one management failing that is a combination of the two. There are many managers who talk about offense and solicit new ideas but never make a decision until they have "more information".
Or, they try a new idea but give it up after a short period of time before it has a chance to be measurable because "it didn't work". In this way, they never have to face the changes in the industry or in the market.
"Fred, GREAT POST AS ALWAYS!
I am so tired of the negative Nancy. While everyone has challenges complaining about them won't change things. We need to take action.
They say league bowling is dead. Our 32-week leagues are up 11% this year. They say even is the new up when it comes to open play. We are up 42% for September and October. They say the chains are killing the snack bar and restaurants inside bowling alleys. We are up 26% for September and October.
Yes, all my employees know about it, celebrated it at our last employee meeting and take pride in it because I let them know they are the main reason for things going so well. Your best investment will always be training. Attend webinars and seminars, take BPAA on-line courses, join Focus on Results, and read blogs like this one…then pass what you learned down to them. Only mushrooms grow in the dark. Keep your staff informed".
I've been in your center. It's sparkling clean, systemized, procedurized, customer servicized and predictable as the sun rising in the East and setting in the West.
In fact, you're so good, so predictable that after going to your center 3 or 4 times, I think I'll try something different.
Anybody remember why you bowled in the Petersen?

VANCOUVER, Sept. 25, 2012 /CNW/ - Taseko (TSX: TKO) (NYSE MKT: TGB) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that its Gibraltar Mine has received the award for Metal Mine Reclamation from the British Columbia Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation ("TRCR").
At TRCR's 36th annual BC Mine Reclamation Awards in Kamloops, BC, Gibraltar was recognized for its large-scale reclamation projects and progressive reclamation research trials. Projects included a joint initiative with the Ministry of Forests for a pine tree establishment research program, research using bio-solids from Metro Vancouver and wood chips to reclaim the tailings areas, and, the establishment of a pilot wetland to monitor the capabilities in treating tailings.
Kim Bellefontaine, Ministry of Energy and Mines stated, "Gibraltar Mine was recognized for demonstrating a forward-looking approach to reclamation that will set the stage for future reclamation successes. They were commended for the work being done to review previous reclamation efforts, as well as for initiating large-scale trials to assess innovative methods for reclaiming large areas of the sand dam and waste rock dumps."
Russell Hallbauer, President and CEO of Taseko commented, "A proactive approach to reclamation is a focus at Gibraltar. This award demonstrates the ongoing efforts of our environmental team and illustrates our Company's dedication to responsible mining. We would like to also recognize the local Xat'sull First Nations reclamation crew for their work on many of these projects. Their participation helped contribute to the success of Gibraltar's reclamation program."
The British Columbia TRCR is a committee of individuals from mining corporations, associations, and Government, including: the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, the Ministry of Environment, the Mining Association of British Columbia, the Association of Mineral Exploration BC and British Columbia universities and colleges. The committee's objective is to increase communications between government and industry in the area of environmental protection and reclamation associated with mining.

As a central element of the Give Bees a Chance fundraising campaign this past June, five top chefs from across the country joined forces with Whole Kids Foundation to host fundraising dinners in their respective cities. In Washington, D.C., Roberto Santibañez, culinary director of Mi Vida in D.C. and chef/owner of Fonda restaurants in New York City, hosted a dinner with with Susana Trilling, cookbook author, PBS-TV host, and a renowned authority on Oaxacan cuisine. In total, the month-long fundraising campaign raised $60,000 to fund 30 new educational bee programs at K-12 schools and non-profits in 23 states.
Whole Kids Foundation's Bee Hive Grant program provides support for grant recipients in a variety of ways. All grant recipients receive consultation on safety and use of the hive from The Bee Cause Project and each recipient must have a 'bee mentor,' or a certified beekeeper that provides onging consultation and assistance.
Over the past three years, 270 hives have been awarded by Whole Kids Foundation, at a cost of $488,000 and impacting 226,317 students in the U.S. and Canada. The hives also support the health of bee populations, as an unprecedented amount of honey bees are perishing each year due to colony collapse disorder (CCD). The phenomenon occurs when the majority of worker bees in a colony disappear due to loss of habitat, immune system decline and attack of pest, mites and diseases.
Whole Foods Market covers all of the foundation's operational costs to allow 100 percent of every dollar donated to directly support Whole Kids Foundation programs, including the Bee Hive Grant program.
