SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 22, 2014) - HealthSparq, a leading healthcare transparency solutions provider, announced that it has acquired ClarusHealth Solutions, a leading healthcare provider search vendor. The companies will combine and extend their current transparency and healthcare shopping solution offerings. Together, HealthSparq and ClarusHealth will provide health plans and employers with the most robust and integrated healthcare shopping platform, allowing their members and employees to make informed healthcare decisions, ultimately incurring lower costs.
"We're excited to join forces with HealthSparq to address the escalating needs of our customers," said Ray Larson, CEO of ClarusHealth. He continued, "John Cooper and the ArchPoint team went well beyond the norm to bring our transaction to a successful close. The up-front evaluation and ongoing adjustments Coop and his team helped us navigate proved vital in getting the right deal done. Coop, Susan, David, Alex and Tim worked tirelessly and brought their knowledge and experience to the process day after day, ultimately making a difference in the success and closure of our transaction. They did a great job!"
The combined organization will be a market leader in the integrated transparency and healthcare shopping space, providing solutions and tools to 60 different health insurance plans that together provide coverage for more than 60 million individuals.
As the healthcare industry evolves, the market dictates that consumers have easier access to tools and information that will help them compare healthcare treatment options based on cost and quality factors. Last year, the Board of Directors of America's Health Insurance Plans issued a statement declaring that improved transparency was one of three key strategies for reducing healthcare costs. In addition, a study commissioned by HealthSparq and conducted by The Cicero Group found that transparency is expected to emerge as a point of greater organizational focus for health plans. Finally, a case study conducted with the largest health plan in the Pacific Northwest showed potential savings of $49 million based on usage of HealthSparq's Treatment Cost Estimator tool for treatments related to specific medical conditions.
"HealthSparq's co-founders are healthcare transparency pioneers and our solutions are proven in the marketplace," said Scott Decker, president of HealthSparq. "Adding the ClarusHealth team and product offering to HealthSparq's capabilities will allow us to continue to innovate and provide our customers with industry-leading healthcare shopping solutions."
"We're excited to join forces with HealthSparq to address the escalating needs of our customers," said Mark Menton, chief executive officer of ClarusHealth. "The mission of ClarusHealth has always been to empower informed healthcare decisions. By collaborating with HealthSparq, we are able to provide our customers with the most robust and innovative solutions available."
HealthSparq develops integrated healthcare transparency software-as-a-service solutions that leverage medical insurance claims, cost and treatment data linked together with community reviews and discussions to empower consumers to make smart, informed healthcare decisions. HealthSparq is a member of the Cambia Health Solutions family of companies in Portland, Oregon. To learn more about HealthSparq, visit www.HealthSparq.com and follow @HealthSparq on Twitter.
ClarusHealth Solutions, formerly PRISM Services Group, is a healthcare software company focused on empowering informed healthcare decisions.

27/01/2019: My husband & I have visited Bloomsberries before but this time our lovely neighbours Pam & Allen came with us and as before the food and experience was just lovely. The warm welcome, homely feel always makes the experience very personal. It is really like having lunch with the family. The Roast was delicious, sweet vegetables, huge Yorkshire pudding and the Mushrooms in sauce were, well I could have eaten just those on toast!! Rich and creamy. I had the Strawberry Gateau with peaches & ice cream and it as beautiful, light and just sweet enough. My husband and neighbour had Apple pie & custard which they both cleared. Look forward to eating there again.Thank you for a lovely afternoon, Jaz & Pat.
09/12/2018: A regular lunch venue for our group, service, food, we're excellent as usual, all home made and good size portions. Cannot fault the service or the friendliness of the staff even under pressure on a busy lunch service.

09/04/2019: Lots of choice. Informal restaurant you can have a table or sit at the bar. Food served very quickly.

28/03/2019: We came here with family 2 years ago and we thought the restaurant was excellent back then. We had a very stressful drive and they stayed open for us so we could eat. We then revisited this year and were more than impressed with the service. The staff and owner were so friendly and we loved talking with them. We are from a Birmingham so well versed with eating good curry and loved the food they cooked for us. It is all freshly cooked at the restaurant. My father loves spicy food and was impressed with how his food tasted. They even had food that our 8 month old loved! The whole restaurant feels like home when we eat and the food is an excellent price. They deserve all the praise you could give. Thank you so much!

20/02/2019: Called in by chance for a coffee and decided to go for the meal deal, what excellent value. Brown bread sandwich which was lovely fresh granary bread, good choice of fillings, super filled and served with Pringles.

We had 4 choices of meat to choose from and an array of well cooked and tasty vegetables. The desserts were excellent too. I can recommend the Raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake! we had a choice of beef, lamb, Pork or Turkey and the portions were generous, the price value for money. It is advisable to book for the Sunday carvery.


Howard with a comprehensive post on CRIA at the Copyright Board along with a lengthy list of recent missteps.
The Guardian runs a story on a Jupiter Research report that finds that the UK's recording industry has overestimated the costs of file sharing by as much as a factor of four. The report doubts the industry's methodology and its claim of the impact of P2P on sales.


Music and the youth have always gone hand-in-hand. For decades, the influence of one's favorite artists has driven them to start bands with other like-minded individuals and express their creativity.
One such individual is senior Julian Martinez, founding member and singer-songwriter of the newly formed band, Alaska. The band consists of Martinez, senior Javier Beltran on bass, senior Noah Roybal on drums, and college sophomore Andy Hernandez on guitar.
Though they are a rock band at their core, Martinez does not think he should be the one to categorize the band's sound, instead leaving that to the listener.
While still a new band, Martinez has grand ambitions for his project. He hopes to record and take his music from the cramped spaces of local venues to the ears of the vast Los Angeles music scene.
Despite having plans for a potential career in the music industry, Alaska is still one of the many bands playing together purely for their collective love of music. The sense of satisfaction that the members get out of their music is a sensation they can only get from doing what they love and a feeling Martinez invites all to join in.
Alaska is currently working on brand new original material.

Home News Speeches/Interviews
Speech by Mr Ong Ye Kung, Acting Minister for Education (Higher Education and Skills) at the Roundtable on the Value of a Humanities and Social Science Education and Launch of the New Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Curriculum
University Leaders, Faculty Members, Educators, Students
1. Some questions are very difficult to answer. One difficult question to answer is, "What is the value of a humanities and social science education?" – which is the question that is posed to me today. Some questions are also not really questions, but assertions – this might be one of those.
2. I will say that from time to time, friends, colleagues and industry leaders will say to me that MOE should focus our education system on certain disciplines. Some say engineering best prepares our young for the biggest number of jobs; others say every organisation deals with money, so accounting should be a compulsory subject; still others feel art and the aesthetics are integral to every aspect of life. In recent times, the strongest call has been for all students to learn computer coding, because of the digital economy, and because we have a Prime Minister who knows how to code, which has made this all the more popular.
3. My response has always been that we can insist and plan all we want, but young people will eventually choose what they want to do based on interests and aspirations. We must accept that these interests are diverse, and if you are doing what you are interested in, you will do well.
4. Hence, there is little point in me trying to justify the need to study the humanities and social sciences. Those who believe it, already do. Those who do not, I hope they too will find an interest in time to come. Whatever professions and stations in life we find ourselves in, there will always be an inherent curiosity about the society we live in, the relationships we forge, and the entire human experience. When I was younger, I was curious about how society worked, and how people responded to incentives. That curiosity led me to become an economist.
Purpose of a Humanities and Social Sciences Education
5. My intention today is therefore less to convince you of the value of a humanities and social science education, than to tell you of its purpose. So not so much what your education can do for you, but what you can do with that education.
6. In terms of personal development, I have found that a humanities and social sciences education enriches both the head and the heart.
7. First the head. The hallmarks of a humanities and social sciences education are the rigorous standards of argumentation, writing, creative and critical thinking, and an appreciation of multiple perspectives to every single issue.
8. Next, the heart. Whether you are trying to get into the head of Macbeth, or trying to understand social inequality, what you study puts you directly in touch with human nature, and uncovers your sense of empathy and interest in public well-being.
9. But a humanities and social sciences education also has special importance for our economy, public policy and society.
10. First, Singapore's industries cannot be competitive without internalising the human and social perspective. Technology, robotics and artificial intelligence are very cool, and they are changing the world, but the revolution is as much social as it is technological. Take an example of a car-sharing app – it is not just a cool app that changes the way we travel. In many places around the world, cab drivers are protesting on the streets, because their livelihoods are affected. So you cannot look at technology in isolation, as it affects society. The best smart phones are popular not just for their cutting-edge technology, but also because their design and features suit and shape our lifestyles.
11. Hence some of the most sought-after people in Silicon Valley today are social scientists and humanists. One of the most influential women in technology today is Dr Genevieve Bell, who is Intel's Vice President of Corporate Strategy, and an anthropologist. Her job is to ask important questions about how and where technology will integrate into people's lives. Her team travels around the world to observe people in their natural settings, such as their homes, to get a sense of how they live their lives, what makes them tick, and what they care about. They then use those insights to see where the arc of social reality could be heading, and drive the next generation of technology development.
12. So even as many jobs progressively become automated, skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence remain a very human preserve, out of reach of even the most advanced robots or artificial intelligence. Indeed, these are among the top 10 most desired skills in 2020 in the World Economic Forum's report on the "Future of Jobs and Skills". And these happen to be skills that the humanities and social sciences inculcate.
13. In Singapore, humanities and social sciences graduates have made inroads into different sectors in the corporate realm, ranging from hospitality to lifestyle to technology. Let me give a few examples. We have Claire Chiang, a sociology graduate, who co-founded Banyan Tree. Edward Chia, who majored in political science and economics, runs the Timbre Group. He has a very nice food centre called Timbre+, where everyone returns their trays to get their one-dollar tray deposit back. He probably thought of this because of his political science training – it is all about influencing human behaviour. And Lim Qing Ru, a philosophy major who co-founded the start-up Zopim. Claire, Edward and Qing Ru all graduated from the NUS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
Informing Policy-Making
14. Second, humanities and social sciences can do what everyone – from beauty contestants to politicians to Presidents – hopes to accomplish: to make the world a better place. Social sciences do this in a very special way, by gaining deep insights into human behaviour, and applying them in real and practical ways.
15. In 2010, the UK Government set up a unit called the Behavioural Insights Team in the Cabinet Office, also known unofficially as the "Nudge Unit". The Nudge Unit, led by a psychologist, drew on behavioural science principles to redesign public services to be more cost-effective and citizen-centric. It helped to increase contributions to charity, encourage people to join the organ donor register, and increase tax collections through simple tweaks like changing the way forms were designed. It now offers advice to Governments around the world. In Singapore, we too have applied behavioural economics and insights in many areas of public policy design.
16. In Singapore, we have good public institutions that can act effectively on good research. But we need to complement this with a new generation of social scientists who can provide good insights on some of our most pressing challenges today. We have many good role models with us today. Professor Wang Gungwu is an internationally-renowned historian and a leading authority on China's history and its future. Professor Chan Heng Chee made her career first as a political scientist, and then became our top diplomat to the US, and is now heading the Lee Kuan Yew Centre for Innovative Cities, to help us imagine the cities of the future. Professor Kishore Mahbubani rose in the Singapore diplomatic service to become Permanent Secretary, before becoming the Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. They are all proud alumni of this faculty.
Staying United
17. That brings me to my third point, which is that humanities can unite society. We will continue to need outstanding scholars of humanities, who are well-placed to understand the complex and cross-disciplinary nature of the problems of our society, from political polarisation, social inequality, intolerance, radicalisation, terrorism, to the erosion of the global commons. In these times of shifting sands, values will be contested, social morality will go through uncertainties, mean-spiritedness will co-exist along good-heartedness, both online and offline.
18. We will need openness and generosity of mind to help our society stay strong. Now, more than ever, we need to cultivate a respect for differing views, build moral foundations, and develop an appreciation for all honest efforts to improve our collective well-being, regardless of political stripes or colour – as all these will help our society stay strong.
19. The education and study of the humanities and social sciences must therefore be strengthened. The new Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) curriculum will contribute to this effort. It aims to equip students with stronger skills in writing, communication and critical thinking. It will also give students greater flexibility over their education – FASS Dean, Prof Brenda Yeoh, mentioned there are about 190 combinations of double majors that students can choose from. So they can choose more electives outside of their major for a more broad-based education, or focus on in-depth training in their major.
20. Earlier this year, we established the Social Science Research Council (SSRC), on which Professor Wang, Heng Chee and Kishore sit. The SSRC launched a new Social Science Research Thematic Grant Call in May this year, which aims to support humanities and social science research on issues of great relevance to Singapore. The SSRC will support talent and good research, and build up the community of social scientists and humanists in Singapore. But ultimately, we can only achieve its objectives with the energies of talented young people who are passionate about these subjects.
21. The value of the humanities and social sciences cannot be denied. What remains for us to do is to support young people to discover and pursue their interests and aspirations, and fulfil their potential. This is a policy position that is pragmatic – because the jobs of the future need the humanities and social science perspective. It is also inspired – because these are disciplines that inherently cultivate open-mindedness and an appreciation for multiple perspectives, which we will need to tackle the complex problems of today and tomorrow. Above all, it is based on a faith that people do best in what they are interested in.
22. I hope you have a good discussion at this Roundtable. Thank you.

UC president recommends removing slaveowner's name from college, keeping it elsewhere
Max Londberg
Exactly one month after a working group recommended stripping Charles McMicken's name from the University of Cincinnati's largest college, UC President Neville Pinto has weighed in.
In a message published online and emailed to students, Pinto wrote he agreed with the group's recommendation to remove the slaveowner's name from the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences.
The UC Board of Trustees will review Pinto's recommendations at its next meeting, scheduled for Tuesday.
McMicken owned slaves and fathered children with one, and possibly two, enslaved women.
Upon his death in 1858, he left land to the city of Cincinnati on which he wished for colleges to be built "for the education of white Boys and Girls." His donation was "pivotal" to the establishment of UC, according to the working group comprised of university officials, professors and student leaders.

Alluding to this gift, Pinto wrote that McMicken's "role as a philanthropist cannot be denied," and his name as it appears on McMicken Hall and other spaces around campus would serve as a "more fitting tribute" to the slaveowner, "presuming it can be contextualized appropriately."
"I recommend creating digital displays that more fully and fairly represent McMicken so that his 'legacies and the university's relationship to him, in all their complexities, remain a vital and living part of the university's history,' " Pinto wrote.
Ben Lewton, a second-year physics student, criticized Pinto's decision to recommend retaining McMicken's name in some spaces.
"Keeping McMicken's name on buildings and streets on campus is a pretty blatant sign that their hearts aren't in this," Lewton wrote. "...it does match well with our current donation practices – if you give us a big enough check, we'll name anything after you no matter what you've done."
Pinto only requested the working group consider McMicken's affiliation with the College of Arts and Sciences and not the other spots on campus bearing his name.
The group wrote that McMicken's name "betrays academic values" and "symbolizes the exclusion and unwelcome that African Americans experience in their relationships with UC, and the university's failure to commit fully to the principles of diversity and inclusion that it professes."
The group also wrote its decision for the college should guide future decisions about McMicken's name elsewhere on campus.
In his email, Pinto acknowledged McMicken's "desire to fortify exclusion at our institution." He referred to him as a historical figure whose biography "reflects division and oppression."
"If this name is unwanted, how can it be anything but a distraction from the College's mission? Or to its deep-seated commitment to access and inclusion?" Pinto wrote. "...And how can our future possibly be brighter if members of our Bearcats family feel forced to identify with a historical figure whose biography reflects division and oppression rather than unity and freedom?"

Why Fetty Wap was arrested at Newark Liberty airport
Fetty Wap (TMZ)
Fetty Wap is an American musician and rapper who rose to prominence with the success of his smash tune 'Trap Queen.'
The track has been listened to millions of times on the music sharing app 'SoundCloud.' He has a keen interest in rapping and singing since he was a child.
Fetty Wap rose to fame with his single 'Trap Queen,' which gained him more than twelve nominations, including the prestigious 'Grammy.' Despite the fact that he hasn't been on the music field for very long, Fetty Wap's impact to music has been recognized by the juries of various accolades.
The star maker however was in the news after being interfered by the cops at the airport.
Fetty Wap was arrested after police apparently received an alert concerning his ankle monitor.
According to law enforcement sources, Fetty was at Newark Liberty Airport on Friday when cops got an alert regarding his ankle monitor.
The officials alleged Fetty and his colleagues were engaged in the transportation of more than 100 kilogrammes of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, and crack cocaine across Long Island and New Jersey.
Fetty Wap's Possessions at the time of his arrest
This is not the rapper's first time with the law because he was captured by the FBI in October and managed to pay his $500,000 bail for that arrest.

Goldberg Puts Reigns On Notice, "I'm Coming For You"
WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg has put Roman Reigns on notice by issuing some words of warning to the Universal Champion.
It all went down on the latest edition of The Bump, on which Goldberg was appearing as a guest.
"He backed out on me at WrestleMania. He stole my move, God knows how long ago. And he continues to perform at subpar level," the Hall of Famer said in response to a question about whether or not he has unfinished business with Roman.
"Let's be perfectly honest, I'm the dude who delivers the Spear and I don't think that he understands what it's like until I deliver one to him. So Roman, it's coming and I'm coming for you. I may be old, I may be grey, but I'm still Goldberg," he added.
Goldberg's last match occurred at WrestleMania earlier this year when he lost the Universal Championship to Braun Strowman. He was originally scheduled to face Roman that night, but the Leukemia-beating "Tribal Chief" had to pull out due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Back in August, Goldberg revealed that he was contracted with WWE until 2023 during an appearance on The Pop Culture Show:
"I am contracted with the WWE for the next two years through 2022, '23. I've got two matches per year. I've exhausted my limit this year quite early on April the fifth with WrestleMania under these really weird circumstances. But I've got a couple other extremely interesting projects right on the cusp, but as you guys know in the entertainment business right now everything's on hold unless it's a production of 10 or under pretty much. We got a lot of cool things that people are going to find out about pretty soon. My WWE commitment is still going strong. At 53, I never would've imagined especially after making fun of Flair when he was doing it in his early 40s."

Grave markers removed from Pioneer Square in 1909 are still stored in a little shed behind the City Parks office.
Victoria could have a real ghost story on its hands — at least, depending on what the city decides to do with one historic graveyard-turned city park.
Pioneer Square has been drumming up noise in the news lately due to the city's plans to evaluate a new maintenance project. But the small and controversial city park on Quadra near the Christ Church Cathedral has more to worry about than just fresh flowers — the city is asking residents what is more important: maintaining graves, or putting in a playground? That, and a host of other options could see a dramatic change in the old graveyard.
In an effort to find out what the community cares most about when it comes to preserving, reviving or redoing the old square, the City of Victoria is undergoing a public consultation process which will wrap up this Friday, July 8. With a park the city says has seen its share of crime and dishevelment, many ideas have been thrown around, including taking out the portion of Rockland Road on the church side — a spot the city is relatively sure has no bodies under it — and turning it into an additional playground or leisure area. The public is also being asked to weigh in on the current dusk-til-dawn usage restrictions. While plans won't be taken to council until next spring, Darrah adds "there will be no fundamental changes" to the site — the graves themselves will remain untouched.
While dozens of names have been registered as buried at Pioneer Square, a lack of records and poor marker management has left the city with no way of knowing how many flower-pushers are currently catching their long naps in the site. Darrah suspects over 1,300 bodies are actually buried there, including some illegal burials back from when immigrants could not be buried alongside the white community. The graveyard was deactivated as a burial site in 1873, and turned into a city park around 1908. But in 1909, when Victoria undertook its first attempt at "maintaining" the park — which involved removing dozens of stone markers and installing new structures — the Parks manager at the time resigned after an onslaught of community (and perhaps ghostly) anger.
From that point onward, the city has housed over 50 grave markers in a little shed behind the parks office. Monday was granted the chance to take exclusive shots of the markers, and found out the eerie fact that we were only one of three people to enter the shed in the last decade or longer. Ironically, the stored markers are now in better condition than those that currently occupy Pioneer Square.
While Darrah says it's unlikely that those markers would be placed back in the square — due in part to decay and in part to the impossibility of finding their original locations — they can't reside in the city shed forever and may eventually even be auctioned off as lawn ornaments to those who desire them.
While Darrah and Demarzo agree that restoration is an option, there is a great expense that comes with the endeavour and questions around what is most important: heritage, beautification, park maintenance, or improvement? Currently, Darrah says he's making no predictions, but will let the public speak on this one.
