Paul Ryan: Medicare Advantage is the Future of Medicare, and Medicaid Reform Will Return
By Alex Spanko | February 21, 2019 February 21, 2019
Public-private partnerships will form the basis of comprehensive Medicare reform as the baby boom population ages, former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan predicted Thursday morning in remarks at a major skilled nursing and senior housing industry conference.
"I believe the future for Medicare is in the Medicare Advantage type of space," Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, said during a keynote discussion at the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care's (NIC) spring conference in San Diego.
Ryan, who left office in January after declining to run for re-election, lauded Medicare Advantage plans as a way to stave off potential financial disaster to the Medicare program, which will see a projected trust fund insolvency by 2026.
"The nucleus of the system is the patient. It's the consumer," Ryan said during his first public speaking engagement since handing the gavel to current Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "And the providers — in this case, insurers — compete against each other for that person's business."
Medicare Advantage plans bridge the gap between public and private coverage, with private insurance companies offering certain benefits to Medicare-eligible seniors and receiving federal reimbursements for the services. About 34% of all seniors have enrolled in the plans, with the Congressional Budget Office predicting penetration of 42% by 2028.
For seniors, the plans provide certain discrete benefits, including expanded coverage for catastrophic incidents and lower co-payment burdens. But for skilled nursing providers, Medicare Advantage has caused serious headaches: Because private companies run the plans, they tend to be more cost-conscious than traditional fee-for-service Medicare, pushing for shorter lengths of stay at nursing homes and providing lower per-day reimbursements. In the third quarter of 2018, for instance, operators reported average Medicare reimbursements of $515 per day, according to NIC's quarterly occupancy report, compared to $426 for managed Medicare.
But Ryan painted these changes as necessary to the health of both the government's finances and individual residents, calling traditional fee-for-service Medicare "the jalopy of the 21st century."
"It saves money and it helps patients get better health outcomes," Ryan said. "I really think that's going to be the future of Medicare."
Without a significant overhaul to focus more on Medicare Advantage-style solutions, Ryan said, the government will have to resort to "screw-tightening" the current fee-for-service model — an option that he didn't paint as particularly viable.
"Fee for service doesn't work," he said. "That's why you have to go to a value-based system, which is what Medicare Advantage and premium support is attempting to do."
Medicaid headaches to return?
As speaker, Ryan oversaw repeated efforts by Congressional Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act and cut federal spending on benefit programs, including a serious push in the summer of 2017 to shift Medicaid to a block grant program — a move that many in the skilled nursing industry feared could devastate reimbursements by cutting up to $800 billion in Medicaid funding.
Medicaid covers about 62% of all nursing home residents, according to a 2017 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, and industry advocates were successful in convincing lawmakers and the public that the program forms a vital lifeline for millions of vulnerable seniors.
When asked about that fight by moderator John Kelliher, managing director of advisory firm Berkeley Research Group, Ryan emphasized that he and his fellow Republicans listened to objections from the American Health Care Association and other trade groups by carving out separate per-capita structures for older beneficiaries and those with disabilities.
And while that attempt at comprehensive Medicaid reform failed by a single vote — cast in dramatic fashion by then-Sen. John McCain — Ryan predicted that the fight will return over the coming years. The Trump administration has reportedly mulled taking executive action to shift Medicaid to a block-grant system, and Ryan emphasized that the industry can't stay quiet about the importance of the program to their bottom lines and the health of seniors.
"You're going to have to keep telling that story over and over again," he said.
He also expressed support for managed Medicaid programs, positioning the public-private reimagining of the system as a way to make it more equitable; while practitioners may be wary of accepting Medicaid due to its perception as program for low-income adults, Ryan asserted, providers would be more willing to accept a patient with a Medicaid plan from a name brand such as UnitedHealthcare.
The former speaker additionally took the opportunity to criticize liberal Democrats who have called for expanded government health care benefits.
"That would just drive them into the dirt," Ryan said of government payers.
PDPM praise
Ryan briefly hinted at the Patient-Driven Payment Model — the new Medicare reimbursement system set to take effect in October — during comments praising Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) administrator Seema Verma and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary Alex Azar's commitment to moving toward value-based care.
"There's work to be done to improve it, but we're clearly heading in that direction, and it's obviously the way to go," he said of PDPM and other value-based models.

How do I parse a text string into date and time?
In this code snippet example you will learn how to parse a text string into an instance of LocalDate, LocalTime and LocalDateTime. All of these classes provide a parse() method that accept an argument of text string that represent a valid date and time information and convert it into the corresponding object.
If the text string passed into the parse() method is not representing a valid date or time information this method throws a RuntimeException of type DateTimeParseException exception. If you want to handle this exception then you should wrap your code inside a try-catch block.
// Parse string "2014-09-12" into LocalDate instance.
// Parse string "17:51:15: into LocalTime instance.
// Parse string "2014-09-12T17:51:15" into LocalDateTime instance.
// DateTimeParseException will be thrown.
As we can see from the output above, parsing a text string of "2014-02-31" give us a DateTimeParseException because the 31 of February is not a valid date.

« Charter School Explosion: Are they Fulfilling the Promise?
(Part 5 of 7) »
This week's article focuses on three of the 42 charter schools in Hillsborough County that the League of Women Voters of Florida Statewide Study included in its final consensus report. Our Hillsborough League, after analyzing all the data available to us, chose to highlight Learning Gate, Pepin and Brooks DeBartolo as good examples of the original mission of charters as incubators of public school innovation. These schools, while extremely diverse in goals, curriculum and student bodies, all emphasize the unique skills and strengths of students by creating inspiring learning experiences to the benefit of all children who attend.
Learning Gate Community School began as a day care center years before charter schools were instituted. In the mid-1990s I trained child care workers who cared for children there with Patti Girard, Learning Gate's owner. Learning Gate received its charter from the county in 2000. The K-6th graders attend at the Hanna Road campus in Lutz and the 7th and 8th graders are located on the Florida Avenue campus. The mission of the school is to "prepare students to successfully participate in their family, school community and workplace through an education program that promotes academic excellence, develops environmental stewardship and stimulates students to be lifelong learners." Enrollment for this school year was 801 children and the average teacher salary was $41,186 during the 2011-12 school years (last data available).
While Learning Gate utilizes the natural environment as their laboratory, it is clear that the children are the focus of the curriculum. The large 20-acre facility in Lutz is like no other charter in Hillsborough County and includes a gymnasium, sports field and cafeteria. Nestled among the trees, wetlands and ponds the campus reflects an integrated environmental approach to sustainability for the community and world. Guided by an environmental-resource teacher, students learn about water conservation, world hunger, butterfly gardens, growing and cooking fruits and vegetables, biology and recycling. Their motto, "Nature Is Our Best Teacher," empowers children to construct their own learning experiences. Each family at Learning Gate is required to volunteer a minimum of 30 hours and attend 10 hours of educational classes. This learning-based parental requirement makes an enormous impact on student's attitude, attendance and academic achievement.
Like all schools, Learning Gate struggles to obtain the resources to sustain their campus and curriculum. Some of the burden falls on parents who must provide uniforms and transportation for their children. But an active and committed board and a full-time development professional creatively solicit additional intellectual and financial resources. Ongoing partnerships with the University of South Florida provide research opportunities for the children and student interns. Tony Dungy's children have attended, and he contributed a mobile computer kiosk and iPads for the students.
Pepin Academy started as a foundation to educate students in grades 9 through 12 with specific learning disabilities. It was founded in 1999 with the help of the Pepin family that continues as a prime supporter today. For over a dozen years Pepin has been dedicated to the educational needs of students with identified learning and learning-related disabilities. Pepin now has an elementary, middle and high school and transitional vocational program in Tampa. Additionally, the Riverview campus opened this year for grades 3 through 7. Pepin will expand to Pasco County and to Pinellas in 2015. The recent enrollment was 640 students and the average teacher salary was approximately $42,354 for 2011-12 (last data available). Pepin has a student/teacher ratio among the lowest we found at 12 to 15 students per class allowing for more individualized instruction.
Each of the Pepin Academies "creates a high intensity, low threat therapeutic learning community that celebrates the gifts of every student." Pepin Academies was the vision of Tampa mother Crisha Scolaro who was looking for an alternative for her son with learning disabilities. She is especially proud that nearly 80 percent of Pepin's students graduate with a traditional diploma and 20 percent with a special diploma for students with learning disabilities. There is very little data on charter school graduation rates and not many charter high schools statewide.
Two separate boards of directors govern the Pepin schools in Hillsborough and Pasco counties, whose members are required to work or live in the county they serve. In the fall a modified schedule will begin, eliminating long summer breaks with more days off during the school year to enable more continuity of instruction and therapy. Full-time occupational and physical therapists are on the staff.
The goal of Brooks DeBartolo Collegiate High School (BDCHS), opened in 2007, is to provide "a quality education, similar to that of numerous private schools in Tampa, but without the staggering price and to provide a higher opportunity for achievement to students who may otherwise not excel in a large classroom setting." Ensuring that students don't get lost in the crowd and are prepared for college work, emphasis is placed on individual guidance, planning and support. The inaugural student body for grades 9 through 11 was 183 students. Enrollment for 2013-14 was 420 children. The average teacher salary in 2011-12 was $34,433, significantly lower than Learning Gate and Pepin, as well as traditional Hillsborough County public schools.
Brooks DeBartolo added athletics in 2008 and has membership in the Florida High School Athletic Association. Students are eligible to participate in Class2A District 10 sports. BDCHS graduated their first class in 2011 with many of their 120 graduates attending colleges in Florida and elsewhere on the East Coast. In 2012, BDCHS moved to the former 11-acre campus of the Universal Church of God just south of Fletcher Avenue on the west side of I-275. The new main building includes 20 classrooms, a beautiful gymnasium, a media center in the lobby, two science laboratories and a cafeteria.
The first principal, Dr. Phildra Swagger, has been replaced by Kristine Bennett. The state Department of Education rated the school an "A" grade for each year since 2010, a major improvement over its earlier D grade. The Tampa Tribune reported on August 17, 2013, that the school was more than $1.1 million in debt last fiscal year according to the Florida Auditor General. It also showed "material weaknesses" in its internal financial controls. BDCHS finished the school year in a stronger financial position after refinancing with Wells Fargo and securing guarantees from the founders.
Examples such as these three schools demonstrate that the unique needs of children can be well served by charter schools that keep children uppermost! One important indicator of this focus is that each of these schools devotes between 50 and 60 percent of its taxpayer revenue to teachers and instructional needs. But perhaps the best indicators are the satisfied parents, students and teachers. In the next article for-profit charter school companies and the schools they manage will be investigated.

Seven More Years
December 5, 2013 Cat Tacopina Rhythm and Blueshirts, Sports 0
Finally, it's certain; the King will stay on his throne.
Go ahead, take a collective sigh. The New York Rangers announced on Wednesday they have extended Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist's contract until the 2020-21 season, resigning the goaltender for $59.5 million.
Answering to the speculation he faced over the summer, Lundqvist admitted during a Wednesday press conference that "leaving New York was never an option."
"I want to be a Ranger for life," Lundqvist said. "To picture myself anywhere else was just wrong and was never an option. I know there was some speculation over the summer, but – from the heart – it was never an option to leave this club."
And then my heart stopped and I almost had an emotional moment in front of my computer.
In all seriousness, Blueshirts fans should be ecstatic and over the moon with this news. This was mentioned in the past, but the idea of trading Lundqvist so that a hot Cam Talbot could take on the No. 1 Goaltending duties for the New York Rangers were impulsive and unfair. To pseudo-quote an infamous film franchise, Lundqvist is the hero New York needs, and the one it deserves.
This isn't to say Cam Talbot is undeserving of the praise he has been given. Aside from that blip on Monday against the Winnipeg Jets, Talbot has been playing very well and has given Lundqvist competition and, at the same time, a little relief.
But it is way too early to say he's capable of being a No. 1 goaltender, especially for a team that is consistently considered a threat.
However, this column is about why Lundqvist is so deserving of this contract extension.
I understand the various concerns over Lundqvist this season, but only because it is indicative of Ranger fans. They are, without a doubt, among the most loyal fans in all of sports. The Rangers could be bottom of the table right now and regardless of how frustrated they may be with the team, they will still show up at Madison Square Garden in support of the team.
With that being said, Ranger fans are among the most critical, and no one is spared from the wrath of New York criticism.
Lundqvist's start to the season is among, if not, his worst. He has an 8-11-0 record, with a .917 save percentage a 2.51 GAA. These certainly aren't the numbers you would expect of someone who has won a Vezina and a gold medal at the Olympic games. And of course these numbers are troubling, but really, the worry and doubt hasn't been fair.
Just like how Talbot has been having a hot streak, Lundqvist is going through a cold spell. It's rare of his caliber, but it happens. Everything we know and are told about Lundqvist is that there is no one harder on him than himself and that there is no one more desiring of victory than "The King." I'm sure that every criticism we've given him, he had given himself long before.
Any New Yorker would be lying to themself though if they said they didn't still believe in Lundqvist's capability and talent. It's apparent, and it's apparent to those in the front office. The extension should do Lundqvist a world of good for his confidence. It's proof and evidence of the fact that they know he is talented and he is the goaltender who is most able to bring the Rangers to a Stanley Cup. Lundqvist is the best goaltender in the world, and there's eight-seasons worth of proof and an Olympics to back it up.
And let's face it- — Lundqvist wouldn't get this kind of flack if the players who are supposed to score would score more. Lundqvist has had a slow start to this season, but that shouldn't erase everything he has done for this club. He is the reason we make it to the postseason every year, and he deserves to take his place on the throne of New York until he has finished his career.

The public policy discourse on well-being and its indicators has become more active in recent years. However, the vast majority of mainstream policy-making remains unchanged; still couched in the post-war material deprivation framework. The scope needs to be widened beyond an overarching focus on economic success. Turning the discussion to well-being opens the door to the understanding gained by a much broader tranche of those researching human lives across the social and health sciences.
This book will be of interest to individuals following the current public and policy debates about well-being, as well as to policy-makers in fields of social and health care, environmental planning, urban development, and innovation, industrial and economic policy.
'Seldom is a work of non-fiction so essential to such a wide audience. The concept of well-being has been an elusive dream of humanity for centuries. It is spoken of in national vision statements and the dreams of poets. This book is the most concrete exploration to date of not only what well-being can mean to the individual but also what policy cast in a context of well-being can mean for the private sector as well as the state. As this compilation of the wisdom of global experts in the field details how well-being can be attained in a host of settings, it is compulsory reading for not only corporate and political leaders but also for the individual who seeks well-being as a personal quest.'
– Professor Charles Hopkins, UNESCO Chair in Reorienting Teacher Education, York University, Canada
'I strongly advise you to read this book. In 1934, Professor Simon Kuznets said of the modern world, "the welfare of a nation [can] scarcely be inferred from a measure of national income" and yet since that time the governments of the industrialized world have paid no attention to such good sense. They have instead become obsessed by the totems of economic growth and GDP. Kuznets would have greatly approved of this volume and I can think of no higher praise. It has taken us exactly 80 years, but we have finally got there. Human well-being is what matters.'
– Professor Andrew J Oswald, University of Warwick, UK

Largest Meteorite to fall in North America
Did you know that the largest meteorite known to hit the earth in North America happened in Estherville, Iowa? That's right, here in the good ol Midwest.
I had a chance to visit Estherville and see a piece of the actual meteorite. In fact you can see pieces of at both the library as well as the Meteorite Center in Estherville. There are also pieces of it in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History and the Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.
When the meteorite struck on May 10, 1879 it hit the ground so hard it buried itself 15 feet in the ground.
The man at the Meteorite Center knew so much. He shared stories that his grandma had shared along with others he met that were either alive when it happened or had stories from those alive when it happened. He was a wealth of information.
The meteor was 455 pounds! While it's only a slice of it at the center it's a pretty big one and very cool.
Late on a Saturday afternoon, May 10, 1879 many persons in and around Estherville were startled by a terrific explosion in the sky. The earth trembled, china shifted on cupboard shelves, doors and windows jarred, and window panes were broken. The explosion was followed by thunderous sounds, and the appearance of what seemed a ball of fire, traveling from southwest to the northeast. Three persons north of town, more then half a mile apart, saw dirt flying into the air. A METEOR HAD FALLEN!
Report of its light came from wide radius. A civil engineer surveying a railroad near Jackson, Minnesota, 15 miles northwest saw the heavenly body emerge, "brilliantly white", from a storm cloud in the west. Estimating its height at 40 miles and its speed at three miles per second, he said it seemed to draw portions of the cloud after it. Two people crossing the prairie in the open rig near Superior, Iowa 6 miles west of Estherville, found themselves directly under the mass when it exploded. They reported that the three large pieces took separate direction, traveling ribbons of vapor, which formed crow?s foot in the sky. Read the full account here.
There's a sculpture of the meteorite at the museum center, but this is not where the meteorite crashed.
The meteorite landed a few miles north of Estherville. A monument located along highway 4 north marks the location spot.
The Meteorite Center is located in Estherville at 814 Central Avenue. It's right next door to American Family Insurance. In fact, you need to head into American Family in order to see the museum as he's the one who lets you in.

We all know that the media is creating false belief that people are suppose to look perfect all the time, and every year, dieters are bombarded with diets and promises of quick and easy weight loss. If we believe those lies, we become very critical of ourselves. We should remember, these extreme dieting trends are just a temporary fix to your desired body image goal. Rather than surrender your body to these devastating diets, you can lose the weight fast and safely, without compromising your health.

Dumba, the elephant hidden by a circus in a rubbish dump in Gard
Mis à jour le 13 November 2021
It was after 10 pm on 1 January 2021 when we heard: at the end of a dirt track in a remote corner of the Gard countryside a single elephant constantly rocks back and forth in a tent, in the middle of a rubbish dump – a few square metres to move around in. Immediately despatched to the spot, our investigators are shocked to discover that it has snowed, that the thermometer registers well below zero and that the elephant is shut in the trailer of the wagon opposite the tent. Dumba breathes heavily, sniffing the air with her trunk, which pokes out of a tiny half-open window in the roof. She has injuries on both sides of her head. We have submitted a complaint about her situation as a matter of urgency.
Dumba is over forty and her feet are so painful that she twists and turns even in front of strangers in an attempt to obtain relief. The forced immobility and solitude to which she is subjected daily cause muscle wasting, musculo-skeletal pain and stereotypic movements.
Just like other elephants held in captivity by circuses, she was snatched from her family while she was a baby. She has never been seen in the company of another elephant since. Just like Baby, she is kept in solitary confinement by her trainer and rented out to the highest bidder for videos and performances. Forced to have her photo taken with members of the public (which is illegal), in particular in the Cirque de Paris, she crossed paths with Jon, Patty, Marli, Céleste and Hannah before we obtained their release. We had hoped to find her in March 2020 when we followed the Cirque de Paris. On its usual site: Baby. She hadn't been seen again in France since the end of 2018. In Spain, where we are working in solidarity on her behalf with FAADA (Fundación para el Asesoramiento y Acción en Defensa de los Animales – Foundation for Advice and Action in Defence of Animals), she had been off the radar since the end of September 2020.
But one of our sympathizers came across her while out for a New Year walk, in an area that literally looks like a rubbish dump.
France, this refuge for trainers prosecuted for mistreatment. Her trainer had fled Spain with her in order to avoid court proceedings. It would have been very easy for him to flee once again in order to hide Dumba elsewhere. It was therefore essential that we act speedily. Within a few hours we had despatched our investigators.
« Foot problems are the main cause of death in elephants. Dumba's feet and her whole body are suffused with acute pain; she is the very incarnation of suffering. Elephants live in groups and continually communicate with one another in a very sophisticated way. They help and support one another until they die. Dumba is alone in her agony. What sort of advanced country is it that still authorizes the abysmal mistreatment of these vulnerable giants? I love elephants, I love my country, and I am ashamed. »
Muriel Arnal, President and Founder of One Voice
The opinion of the expert on elephants to whom we sent the images was irrefutable: skeletal problems, possible tuberculosis ... injuries. "The physical condition of this obviously elderly Asian elephant is very poor."
« There are clear indications that this elephant is suffering from pain in her front legs, as shown by her alternating lifting of these legs and the fact that she brings her rear legs far cranial under her body. »
Willem Schaftenaar, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
« The elephant keeps her mouth open for a much longer period than is expected and normal, which often is an expression of pain experience. »
« Keeping an elephant solitary for a prolonged period is an act against the welfare of the animal and as such illegal. When continued for several months and longer it inevitably changes the mental health permanently and irreversibly, expressed as stereotypic behaviour. »
Willem Schaftenaar, DVM Retired zoo veterinarian of Rotterdam Zoo Current competences and activities: Veterinary Advisor to the European elephant TAG (EAZA), Associate researcher of Elephant Care International
We have submitted a complaint of ill-treatment and neglect by a professional (an offence) to the court in Alès. Added to that is illegally operating an establishment keeping non-domestic animals. The seizure of Dumba must be organized as quickly as possible; a place in a sanctuary already awaits her. Sign the petition and let us join together to appeal to the relevant minister, Barbara Pompili, because we shall never abandon those whose suffering is scandalously hidden from view: circus animals!

Je signe cette pétition !

Sauvons DUMBA , si on peut encore faire quelque chose.
C'est honteux d'avoir fait autant de mal à cet éléphant !
Nat | Sunday 31 January 2021
J'ai pleuré quand j'ai regardé votre vidéo.
Amoureuse des animaux et en particulier des éléphants je suis consternée et révoltée de voir cet animal souffrir de la sorte à cause des humains. J'ai honte de savoir qu'il faut attendre des autorisations pour le sortir de son calvaire.
J'espère de tout cœur qu'elle va pouvoir vivre une retraite auprès des siens et enfin se reposer.
Il faut que ça bouge !!!
Courage petite Dumba 🥰

Oisnitz ist eine Katastralgemeinde und Rotte in der Gemeinde Sankt Josef (Weststeiermark) im österreichischen Bundesland Steiermark. Die Ortschaft liegt im Tal des gleichnamigen Baches an der Wieserbahn und wurde 1186 erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. Zwischen 1920 und 1968 war das landwirtschaftlich geprägte Oisnitz eine eigenständige Gemeinde.

Geographie
Das Ortszentrum von Oisnitz liegt auf rund  beidseits des Oisnitzbaches etwa eineinhalb Kilometer ostnordöstlich des Gemeindehauptortes Sankt Josef. Die Riedel links und rechts des Baches erreichen Seehöhen von über 400 Meter, so etwa der Oisnitzberg an der Wasserscheide zum Kainachtal, die zugleich die östliche Gemeindegrenze markiert. Benachbarte Ortschaften neben Sankt Josef sind Tobisegg und Muttendorf (Gemeinde Dobl-Zwaring). Oisnitz ist aus vier Richtungen auf Gemeindestraßen erreichbar, ein Verkehrsweg von regionaler Bedeutung ist die Wieserbahn mit der Haltestelle Oisnitz-St. Josef.

Der gebürtige Oisnitzer Mediziner und Schriftsteller Matthias Macher schilderte 1871 seinen ersten Schulgang im Jahr 1799 und beschrieb dabei Lage und Ambiente des Ortes wie folgt:

Geschichte
Ältestes Zeugnis menschlicher Besiedelung aus dem Raum des heutigen Oisnitz ist ein über 3000 Jahre altes bronzezeitliches Beil, das in der Volksschule Sankt Josef aufbewahrt wird.

Mittelalter und frühe Neuzeit

Der Name Oisnitz ist slawischen Ursprungs und leitet sich vom Wort olšje für "Erlenwald" ab. Das Toponym geht auf ein Gut Odelisnitz zurück, das dem Hochfreien Eppo wegen Hochverrats im Jahr 1056 durch Heinrich III. entzogen und an den Bischof von Brixen übertragen wurde. Es befand sich jedoch nicht, wie ehemals angenommen, auf dem Gebiet des heutigen Oisnitz, sondern in der Nähe von Bad Schwanberg. In der Schreibweise Olsniz ist der Gutsname außerdem aus dem Stift St. Paul im Lavanttal überliefert, wo er erstmals in einer Notiz von 1142 auftaucht. Das steirische Oisnitz wird in einer Schenkungsurkunde an Markgraf Ottokar IV. aus dem Jahr 1186 erstmals erwähnt: Neben Stift Admont werden als Güter "sex mansus in Marchia apud Olsinize et vineam unam ad Aueram" (sechs Mansen in der Mark bei Oisnitz sowie ein Weingarten zu Afram) genannt. Olsnitz ist der deutsche Name der slowenischen Stadt Murska Sobota in der historischen Region Prekmurje.

Aus den genannten Huben entwickelten sich im folgenden Jahrhundert zwei Siedlungen. "Maior Elschenz" (Groß-Oisnitz, 15 Huben) und "Minor Elschenz" (Klein-Oisnitz, sechs Huben) werden 1266 im Urbar der damaligen Pfarre St. Lorenzen am Hengstberg erstmals in latinisierter Form erwähnt. Der erste namentlich bekannte Einwohner Sighart Lemsitzer verkaufte 1347 Weingärten und Bergholden an Stift Stainz. Wie aus den Marchfutterurbaren des 15. Jahrhunderts hervorgeht, gehörten die Huben damals Stift Admont und Bauern aus Sankt Stefan und Ettendorf bei Stainz. Die Huben von Klein-Oisnitz werden letztmals im Marchfutterurbar von 1555 erwähnt. Möglicherweise waren sie bereits zuvor verödet, den Bauern von Groß-Oisnitz übergeben oder aufgeforstet worden. Auch könnten die Türkeneinfälle bei der Verödung der landwirtschaftlichen Flächen eine Rolle gespielt haben. 1624 gelangten die bäuerlichen Anwesen nach Verkauf des Grazer Marchfutteramtes durch Kaiser Ferdinand II. an die Fürsten von Eggenberg an Grundherrschaften wie Schloss Rohrbach und die Deutschordenskommende Leech.

Seit dem 18. Jahrhundert
Zur Zeit der Josephinischen Landesaufnahme in den 80er-Jahren des 18. Jahrhunderts bestand die damalige Steuergemeinde Oisnitz aus den vier Rieden Dorf Oisnitz, Reichenbach, Breithölzer und "Bunzi Seiten". Auf der Bunzi Seiten befanden sich vier Leberäcker, deren mittelhochdeutsche Benennung auf frühgeschichtliche Grabhügel hindeutet.

Als Folge der Revolution von 1848 gelangten die Landwirtschaften zurück an die bäuerliche Bevölkerung. Die zur Bezirksobrigkeit Hornegg gehörenden Ortschaften Oisnitz und Tobisegg wurden im Zuge einer administrativen Neuordnung mit Sankt Josef zusammengeschlossen und dem Amtsbezirk Stainz unterstellt. Spätestens seit 1875 bemühte sich Oisnitz um den Status einer eigenständigen Gemeinde, die Landesbehörden lehnten die Gesuche jedoch aufgrund zu geringer Bevölkerungszahl und Steuerleistung ab. 1914 bekam Oisnitz immerhin einen eigenen Kassier zugestanden, der Erste Weltkrieg verhinderte aber weitere Souveränitätsbestrebungen. 1920 wurde die Gemeindetrennung nach Zustimmung des Landes schließlich vollzogen, erster Bürgermeister wurde der Gemeindevorsteher Ignaz Reicher (vulgo Neubauer). 1947 sprachen sich die Oisnitzer gegen einen Zusammenschluss ihrer Gemeinde mit Tobisegg aus. Mit 1. Jänner 1968 wurden Oisnitz und Tobisegg erneut mit Sankt Josef zusammengelegt und es entstand die noch heute bestehende Gemeinde Sank Josef (Weststeiermark).

Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur

Oisnitz war in der Vergangenheit von Landwirtschaft und Weinbau dominiert, Handel und Gewerbe konnten sich aufgrund zerstreuter Siedlungen und ohne eigentlichen Ortskern kaum entwickeln. Vulgonamen wie Bergmüller, Bergschmied, Nadlschneider, Reitermacher, Schneiderblas und Webermörtl deuten auf vielfältige Nebenerwerbe der ansässigen Bauernschaft hin. Während sich Sankt Josef mit dem Bau der Pfarrkirche zum Pfarr- und Gemeindezentrum entwickelte, wanderten Betriebe aus Oisnitz ab. Eine Aufwertung erfuhr der Ort ab 1873 durch die Wieserbahn. Die Bahnhaltestelle wurde 1927 zu einer Frachtverladestelle ausgebaut und ist mit über 30 ankommenden Zügen an Werktagen noch heute von großer Bedeutung für Pendler und Gewerbetreibende. Aus einer 1904 eröffneten Gemischtwarenhandlung ging später eine Gastwirtschaft hervor. Heute verfügt der beliebte Wohnort über eine eigene Sport- und Freizeitanlage.

Während und nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg kam es in Oisnitz zu mehreren Großbränden, weshalb 1926 die Gründung einer Gemeindefeuerwehr beschlossen wurde. Nach Anschaffung einer Handdruckspritze wurde 1933 ein erstes Rüsthaus erbaut, das zwischen 1981 und 1984 völlig neu errichtet wurde. Erstes Feuerwehrauto war 1951 ein umgerüstetes US-Militärfahrzeug. Ihre wichtigsten Einsätze hat die Freiwillige Feuerwehr Oisnitz-Tobisegg bei Überschwemmungen, besonders spektakulär etwa in den Jahren 1950, 1966, 1973, 1987, 1992 und 1994.

David and I are traveling six hours tomorrow to get him evaluated for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. This is a second opinion. At 15, he likely will not be able to get any services for the diagnosis.
But like I have said in the past, I don't want anyone to say we haven't tried to do everything that we can for him.
I made arrangements to pick up from the residential facility where he lives. I purposely didn't tell him, and I told the staff that we weren't going to tell him. He obsesses about things. So why cause him stress unnecessarily?
Guess what? Someone told him what was going on tomorrow. It isn't the end of the world for me that he knows, but you would think his world is ending. I have talked to him more since Friday than I have talked to him in the last three weeks. I love that he reaches out to us, but don't want this to be the only reason he does so.
I am not moving him to another facility, this is his second facility in a year, it is supposed to be a transition to home, a step down facility. He moved there a couple of weeks ago. During intake, they told him he would likely be home in six months.
This is not for them to decide all by themselves. That is a team decision, and will be addressed in team later this week. More on that later.
How hard is it for professionals to understand that parents have some idea of what their kids are like? Even if they are in a facility?
I am frustrated that the professionals in these facilities don't hear me. If they don't hear me, how are parents who don't know how to make themselves heard able to get their points or concerns across to the professionals?
My bet is that they don't. I find that troubling indeed. So what can be done about it? How do we change it? This isn't the 1800's where parents put their kid in a facility and walk away. Heck this isn't the mid 20th century.


We use only the best quality american HARD nickel silver fretwire in all our work. We buy our fretwire in straight lengths and bend it accurately to suit YOUR guitar. This is a highly skilled job…why trust your guitar to someone less skilled?
Whatever style of music you play and whatever type of guitar you own.. wear and tear is inevitable. Through time.. frets will wear as will the nut and saddle. One day you'll pick up your guitar and notice that it just isn't playing as well as it used to. It may be buzzing in places and you may have some dead spots on the neck…or a strange rattle or bad intonation. This is inevitable if you play your guitar a lot like some.. or in fact most of my customers. Low.. badly worn frets can result in poor tone and intonation resulting in buzzing notes.. dead spots and fingerboard wear due to strings and fingernails gouging the fingerboard and more often than not.. your capo clamping the strings too tightly against the frets. Get them fixed!
…If someone refrets your guitar with soft Korean or Chinese wire… you may not be able to tell when you pick the guitar up…but just give it a couple of months.. then the wear will be back !
We cleanly and carefully remove the worn frets.. then prepare the slots before accurately installing the new wire. Careful selection of wire gauge, (I carry over 30 different profiles), in particular matching tang width to the existing slot is ensured before installation. Frets are then precision levelled then reprofiled to ensure accurate intonation before polishing the frets in an 8 stage process to a mirror finish. The guitar is then given a thorough setup.
Your guitar will now play better than you would have thought possible! We improve playability and improve guitars that have been "plekked". We carefully measure, level and reprofile your frets but we read the neck of the guitar and evaluate each guitar as an individual instrument. Any anomolies are addressed and corrected with great care and attention. Try us once, tell all your guitar buddies and you'll never go anywhere else.
…and of course with every refret we carry out your instrument ends up on our Erlewine neck jig to level and polish the frets finishing them off prior to the setup with unrivalled accuracy!

A Bohol-bound aircraft of Cebu Pacific was grounded after a passenger cracked a bomb joke right before the plane was supposed to depart from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) on Sunday.
Passengers of Cebu Pacific flight 5J621, which was supposed to depart at 12:45 p.m., were asked to deplane, said Charo Lagamon, Cebu Pacific director for communications.
"One of the passengers made a comment about bombing which was something that warranted additional security procedures to be implemented. Nakasakay na sila, so pinababa lahat ng pasahero pati yung bagahe kaya matagal siya," Lagamon said.
The airline official however did not go into details regarding the identity of the passenger but noted that the case was turned over to government authorities.
"May' policies on handling bomb jokes. Kahit na joke 'yan, it is taken very seriously, there are penalties," she added.
Under the law, a person who makes a bomb joke at the airport may be penalized with a fine of over P40,000 or a jail term of more than five years, or both, depending on the court's decision if a case is filed.
According to Lagamon, a thorough security check was conducted following the incident.
The precautionary measures took time to be completed, eventually causing the cancellation of the flight.
The aircraft was supposed to fly to Bohol later in the day but Lagamon noted that there was limited time for the plane to reach the province before nightfall.
The Bohol Panglao International Airport still does not have equipment to hold nighttime operations.
"It entailed more time for security check. Ang Panglao airport hindi pa capable of night operations so the flight had to be cancelled," Lagamon added.
