Gov. Charlie Baker
An obscure nonprofit with ties to Bay State Republicans is accused of disguising more than $1.2 million in donations from businesses, wealthy advocates, and even Mitt Romney's federal committee before funneling them toward two failed ballot questions backed by Gov. Charlie Baker, state officials disclosed yesterday.
The group, Strong Economy for Growth, was ordered to pay a $31,000 penalty and register with the Office of Campaign and Political Finance with the agreement it would be barred from all "election-related activity" in 2018.
The nonprofit had "an intent to influence the election," OCPF said. It donated $990,000 to Great Schools Massachusetts, the committee that pushed a ballot question lifting the state cap on charter schools, and another $178,000 to a Campaign for a Safe and Healthy Massachusetts, which opposed the ballot question to legalize marijuana.
Both efforts were unsuccessful, despite vocal support from Baker. The charter school question was voted down, while the question legalizing pot passed.
Strong Economy for Growth, or SEFG, made the donations while collecting more than $1.2 million and "disguising the identities" of its own donors, according to OCPF. It included a $600,000 contribution from the nonprofit, QXZ Inc., whose major donor is Jeffrey Yass, a charter school advocate, and a $200,000 donation from noted anti-marijuana advocate Julie Schauer.
The group also got $20,000 from Romney for President Inc., the former governor's presidential committee. Bradley Crate, its treasurer, did not return calls left by the Herald. Crate also serves as the treasurer for Baker's gubernatorial campaign committee.
Rob Haskins, the nonprofit's president, said in a statement that while its donations to ballot committees were previously publicly disclosed, "it was the determination of OCPF that some of the donors should have been publicly disclosed.
"We are happy to comply with that decision," he said.
The nonprofit has backed Baker before. Officials involved in the group created a separate independent expenditure PAC in 2014, when it spent $6,000 in the closing days of the gubernatorial election supporting Baker.

I kept thinking about the idea and the best way of express it for a while, and since looks it has not been done before
(but please tell me if I'm wrong), so here it is.
Now, since I'm a newbie in vectoring and I usually lack on patience on learning new abilities, I used some vectors from #MLP-VectorClub, specifically...
First Panel
●~ChemicOwl's "Canterlot Palace Spires at Night"
●~Chromadancer 's "1,000 Year Slumber"
Second Panel
●~Ironfruit's "Dawn Scene - Full Frame Vector"
●=MoongazePonies's "Angel Bunny", modified to make him look into the horizon.
●*RedPandaPony's "Fluttershy Being Fluttershy" sightly modified (closed the mouth for a more "serene" face, and the tail)
Third Panel
●*BonesWolbach's "Field Clearing", modified by erasing the clouds and some stars.
●~ThatsGrotesque's "Lyra facehoof" and ●~Muffin308's "Bon bon looks surprised" were combined into "Bon Bon Facehoof"
●~Shelmo69's "Lyra", with modified front legs.
First Panel Princess Luna was made with Inkscape (the vectors) and GIMP (the mane's special effects) and the mane could have been subconsciously inspired by "Princess Luna" by ~zlack3r.
The "Rabbit in the Moon" Moon and the "Man in the Moon" Moon were made in Inkscape using ~Chromadancer 's "1,000 Year Slumber" as a base and, of course, the actual Moon.
And, with such beautiful backgrounds, I felt the first plane characters were too "flat", so I shaded them. Now they look as if they were lit by moonlight... I guess.
And since English is not my first language, the text was maybe the most difficult part, since I wanted something "poetic" and a good punchline.
So, any feedback is greatly appreciated!
And one more thing... Steganography YAY!
May 26th Edit: Featured in Equiestria Daily's Comic Section, May 21th. Since then...
...this was my face when the comic reached 1,000 views:

Edit 2: Thanks to *DaringDashie for the suggestions and corrections!
Awesome comic!!
Also, tamales are delicious....and I don't have a thing to do. XD
Long story short, because she was sitting on a bench like a human in the 7th episode. Since then (in the fandom), she has an obsession with humans, hands, human objects, walking on her hind legs, and has been considered the pony version of and a long list of etceteras.
She is also shipped with Bon Bon, because the same scene, and she (Bon Bon) is usually depicted as being ashamed of Lyra's obsession.
And by the time I made this comic, there was already considered an overused meme, but I was just starting and I said to myself: "why not?"
For more information, you can go to Know Your Meme: knowyourmeme.com/memes/sitting…
Don't forget Pinkie Pie and the 4th wall, Derpy and the muffins, Derpy and Dinky, DJ Pon3/Vinyl Scratch eye's, Pinkie Pie's sisters' names, the infamous "wingboner", drunk Berry Punch, Voice Actor Bon Bon, all the Dr. Whooves ponies, Scootaloo as a chicken, Rarity as a marshmallow, Sweetie Belle as a dictionary...
Since there is so much left unexplained, the fandom will quickly (and happily) try to fill the gaps. If that's good or bad, time will tell.

About freeform crochet
Much of my not-so-everyday crochet is freeform crochet. Freeform is crochet that is usually worked without a specific pattern. Often, it is bits of crochet attached to each other while frequently changing yarns, stitches, colors, and hook size (although it doesn't have to be). It can also include knitting, beads, embroidery, or whatever! The beauty of freeform is that it really sets you free from a specific format to create whatever comes into your head!
A small selection of the freeform crochet items that I've made follows. Any items that are currently for sale can be found on http://jprescott.etsy.com/.
Sea Garden
Made to look like an undersea garden, this handbag has a freeform crochet piece sewn to the front of a recycled purse. Most of my purses consist of freeform crochet worked over a recycled purse. The crochet is sewn to the purse, so that it will not come loose.
Spring Meadow
I started this purse in Prudence Mapstone's freeform purse class at the national 2004 CGOA conference and finally finished it in January 2005! It consists of flower and leaf motifs sewn to a mesh purse form. I got the bamboo handles from an old purse that I bought at a thrift store. I then added beads and several leaf-shaped pins (also found at a thrift store). I'm working on the lining now (which is the part I hate doing most because it involves hand sewing). This purse is also on display at http://www.knotjustknitting.com/.
Tribal Princess
This mask is made of freeform crochet over a plastic mask form. The freeform is done in cotton crochet thread with bead embellishments. The backing is black felt and it ties in the back of the head.
Moonlit Night
This purse represents the peaceful nights I spent with myself. The large picture shows one side, while the small shows a close-up of the other side. This purse was featured in an art exhibition at postpicasso.com and in the March 2004 exhibition at http://knotjustknitting.com.
Will Work For Yarn
This fun purse was made from a collection of many yarns. It found a good home with my sister, Tracey.
With this bag, I took a purchased tote (bought at Big Lots) and made freeform crochet pieces to fit the patchwork shapes on the front of the bag. Then, I sewed the freeform to the stitching.

Can I receive my Call Reports weekly?
We love when our clients take interest in their memberships and take the time to review and follow up on their call reports! Unfortunately, our Call Reporting system is automated, and scheduled to send out reports based on your monthly billing cycle date. The purpose of these monthly reports is for you to see the positive ROI that has been generated for your practice, from your profile website. Having staff available to answer the phone during business hours is imperative in converting potential patients!
Why do we receive calls before and after hours?
All call times are shown in Pacific Time, as we are based in California. Please consider this information when reviewing your monthly Call Reports.
We used to get a lot of calls, but have recently seen a decline. Is there a reason why?
Call volumes will always fluctuate month-to-month, due to many uncontrollable outside variables. Periods of increased or decreased call volumes are not uncommon, and are not typically alarming. Our Web Development Team is constantly monitoring our clients' profile websites to ensure they are receiving the most calls possible for their area. Please keep in mind that your call report only includes tracked calls made through the phone number and unique 3-digit extension assigned to your clinic. You are likely receiving many calls from potential patients who discover your practice through the profile website and directory listings we have up for you, but who may find and call your office directly.
Can we use a local number instead of the 800-number?
Our 800-numbers and extensions are integral parts of our marketing program, and unfortunately, we are unable to change them. They enable us to track every call generated from our directories and profile websites that was connected to your office. We then present this information to you via your monthly call report, so you can see the positive ROI being generated for your practice.
It's been over 30 days, why haven't I received my first call report?
Your first call report is due to be sent to you after the first 60 days of your membership. This gives your profile website and directory listings time to be recognized online, and begin generating calls for your practice. Once you receive this initial 60-day call report, you will receive your call reports consistently, every 30 days, on or around your billing cycle date.
For more information regarding your monthly Call Reports, the detailed breakdown and how to read them, please visit our Call Report Information Page. For additional assistance, please feel free to contact our Member Support Department at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Alien in the Faucet
It started in that damned day. I woke up in the morning on the infantile voice of my daughter, saying: "Dad, the water is yellowish." Perhaps this might not sound as a problem. Accidentally, I decided to behave as any rational father, and I told her: "Do not worry, honey. There might be some problem with the water pipe. Perhaps it is rusty, and I will fix it before you return from your school."
Definitely, that was a conspiracy against me. That day was one of the very few days in which I was able to not to go to the factory. It was the time for the half-annual maintenance, and we-industrial engineers-usually take it as a holiday because all operations are stopped during this very short period.
Behaving like an engineer, I decided to follow what they term the engineering method of thinking; starting from identifying the problem, then collecting data, and finally proposing a solution. I started by defining the problem; the problem is that my daughter was not able to wash her face. I considered it a serious problem that requires a fast reaction; little Dina might have some problems with reading the poor handwriting of her teacher from the blackboard. I ended that stage safely by reaching to the origin of the problem; the water was dirty.
Unfortunately, I had no time or equipment to carry out the data collection step. I thought of analyzing the water to know exactly that polluting element that made the color go yellow. I found out that I was the only person in the whole street who was suffering of the yellow water problem, while the neighbors had no problem with their water. It seemed to me that I am getting closer to the solution. I thought it was rust. So I searched for the main faucet that supplies my villa. At that moment, suspense really started.
With a quick look, it seemed to me that the faucet is all right, and there is no rust at all. I got a wrench and I opened the pipe to check whether the water here is also yellow or not. I thought that there might be some problem with the inner surface of the pipe. I had a feeling that it was really the time to apply the cathode protection method that we learnt about in the collage to protect pipes from corrosion.
Take a deep breath, and read the following. My finger touched a wet jelly like stuff. I got a deep wide long high alarming feeling of disgust. My mind went into the place it should go to that I put my finger in a sewage pipe. I had a powerful desire to cut my finger the instant I would pull it out from the tube. However, when I pulled it out, I found nothing stuck to my finger, opposing to all the theories and practical visions I had about the physical properties of that material.
You should be feeling the way I felt; you might feel this when you had a strong feeling then it suddenly vanishes. I took a sigh of relief; and started analyzing the situation in the other direction. Since there was nothing on my finger, then this might be any other thing that was carried by the water stream, and it found itself in my pipe, hindering water and causing that pollution. I had an experience with that things that move with water till it reaches houses because we had once in our dads house a frog in the toilet!!
Anyway, I decided to pull out that thing. This time I was cautious, so I wore a plastic glove and started pulling. Suddenly, a cloud of yellow smoke came out of the tube. The smell of the smoke was intolerable, and it reminded me with sulfur dioxide. Sulfur dioxide is termed as the "Suffocating gas," that what I was told in the college. However, no body told me that fact-the cowards- before I took a deep sniff of pure fresh instantly prepared sulfur dioxide in the chemistry lab. I remember that I fell on the bench, with pains in my chest and fire in my nose, and a feeling of two hot bullets that entered through my two nostrils (one per each) to my two cerebral hemispheres, causing a feeling of temporary blindness, followed by unconsciousness. Afterwards, I had its smell registered in my mind for months, and I developed some kind of phobia of chemistry department and its labs for two semesters.
Afterwards, the scenario went as follows. Just before starting unconsciousness, I saw a yellow creature-so to speak-an alien. I know them. I have seen them before in ET, X-files, independence day, star wars, and star track. It had unidentified dimensions-ameba like-coming out of the pipe. It seemed to me that I was watching one of these science fiction movies, but it was true. Finally, darkness prevailed.
To assure you all, I did not wake up to look at the alarm, and to find out that I was dreaming. Actually, dream started at that moment, or frankly the nightmare. It was a conversation between that creature and me. I cannot judge the language we were talking in, but we understood each other in spite of the fact that our --not our, mine only-mouth was not moving. I discovered herein that the X-files theory about telepathy was true.
The Alien was talking. It defined itself as Wertigel, not a very nice name for an alien. It came to earth in a space ship that threw it in the river. It was a researcher in another planet in a neighboring galaxy, just 3 million light years. Its mission was to make something we call, as engineers, technical report about the water of planet earth. Their planet is drying because their two suns were transforming to dark holes. They wanted any planet with water to live in, because without water they can not live.
I tried to explain to it that the case was the same for us. I tried to convince it that we even on the earth suffer from the same problem. However, he was uncompromising with me, and he showed no understanding to global warming. It said that after finishing its report, they would start their invasion to the planet earth. They will destroy everything related to human beings and humanity with their by far advanced technology.
I woke up, not on my bed as many people might think, but in the back garden of my villa. The pipe was open in front of me, and the glove in my hand. Then it was not a dream. I entered the house, trying to convince myself that it was a dream. I looked at the clock. It was 3:00 PM; time for my daughter and my spouse to come back home.
When little Dina came, she asked me: "Dad, did you fix the pipe?" I replied: "No honey. I will call a plumber, because I am not a plumber."
My neighbor, kindly, allowed me to fill some containers of water to spend the day.
When night came, the idea came to my mind; we should never allow these primitive amebas like creatures to conquer our planet. If they wanted to live in our planets, okay but they could use the ponds and sewage pipes only, and they should leave the rest of the water for us to make what we want with. But I would not allow them to exterminate us.
I opened the garage at a very late hour, and I took my oxyacetylene welding machine, and I approached the pipe. I opened it, intending to use the fire of the machine to make out of that stupid alien another cloud in the dark night. However, the same scenario was repeated. However, this time the alien only spoke. It said, nervously: "Your planet is a dirty filthy polluted planet; I wonder how you live in it. Your water is polluted to an intolerable extent. We can not live in that water. It is full of poisons, sewage, micro-organisms, and radiation. Go to hell with your planet; we do deserve a better planet." I woke up, looked at the sky. I saw a fire arrow going upwards. Inside it, was a creature with a deep feeling of frustration.
Since that day, I have been thinking about the aliens words. Imagine that protozoan creature believes that it does deserve a better planet. Was it right? I am not really sure. But I am definitely sure that I will consider this fact for a long time, in spite of the fact that it started only yesterday with that alien in the faucet!!

Active Directory (AD) is the center of your Windows universe — it controls access to the network, programs and data in your IT infrastructure. In that sense, it's the most important platform in your organization. Microsoft provides several utilities with AD to manage data and policies within the directory. Unfortunately, they often leave a bit to be desired. And as you add business applications, or as your environment grows, the risks of a mismanaged — or completely unmanaged — AD grow exponentially.
In this informative white paper, Quest service partner XMS Solutions dives into the risks associated with legacy AD architectures as well as how to avoid them. You'll learn about:
- Degraded user experiences related to legacy AD as well as the security risks being introduced
- Increased costs from maintaining legacy platforms and data

Sundance is an amazing place to world premiere a movie. Not only because it's an incredible festival filled with people that genuinely love film, but also you can show offbeat and touching stories about people without having to show an explosion every five minutes. The fact is, Hollywood has moved away from smaller, more personal stories and it's left to the indie world to pick up the slack, like writer-director Matt Ross' family drama Captain Fantastic, which premiered at Sundance and was also shown at Cannes.
Led by a great performance from Viggo Mortensen, the film is about a family living off the grid in the forest of the Pacific Northwest. Mortensen plays the father of six kids and he's dedicated his life to transforming his six young children into extraordinary adults. But when a tragedy strikes, the family begins a journey into the outside world that challenges Mortensen's idea of what it means to be a parent and brings into question everything he's taught them. Captain Fantastic also stars Frank Langella, George MacKay, Kathryn Hahn, Steve Zahn, Ann Dowd, Samantha Isler, Annalise Basso, Nicholas Hamilton, Shree Crooks, Erin Moriarty and Missi Pyle.
With the film opening this weekend, I recently say down with Samantha Isler, Annalise Basso and Shree Crooks. They talked about memorable moments from filming and what it was like working with Viggo Mortensen and what they took away from the experience. Check out what they had to say in the video above. You can also watch my interview with Viggo Mortensen and Matt Ross by clicking here.
Finally, I really enjoyed this movie and recommend checking it out. It's a nice chance from the noise of summer movies.

Vive Crop Protection Nanotech Products Debut in U.S.
After being introduced to the market in March, two products that feature a new nanotech delivery system for fungicide and insecticide have performed well in field observations, according to Vive Crop Protection Products.
The technology, called Allosperse, uses polymer nanoparticle shuttles to control how and when crop protection products are delivered to the plant after being applied. This is new technology for agriculture that is comparable to how some pharmaceuticals are delivered to precise targets within the human body.
Farmers in Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa and Illinois applied the two new products, AZteroid and Bifender, to corn and soybean acres this spring. In addition, trials were conducted in potato and sugarbeet plots.
It's still too early to assess yield results, said Dr. Darren Anderson, chief communications officer for Vive Crop Protection, but producer feedback and field observations have been excellent. "AZteroid is the first fungicide built for compatibility with liquid fertilizer, and producers were pleased with their new-found ability to apply starter fertilizer and fungicide in-furrow in a single pass."
In field observations, corn and soybean plants grown with a combination of starter fertilizer and AZteroid applied in-furrow were larger with significantly more root mass when compared with plants that only received starter fertilizer.
This combination of AZteroid and fertilizer was applied as one uniform mixture, thanks to the Allosperse technology. Crop protection products typically fail to mix thoroughly with liquid fertilizer. However, with Allosperse this problem is no longer an issue. As a result, multiple products can be conveniently applied in a single pass across the field.
"One producer relayed a story of mixing AZteroid with starter fertilizer in the tank, only to be delayed for four days because of rain," Dr. Anderson explained. "When he was finally able to get in the field, there was only a small amount of residue in the check balls and even that came right off once he got moving."
Producers said the products worked well when mixed directly in the fertilizer tank as well as when applied through a Dosatron. There were no problems even with a high-zinc starter fertilizer, and the products exhibited excellent mixing properties with glyphosate and Capture® LFR®.

How to Free Your Mind and Find Inner Peace
Since the day we were born, modern society has conditioned us to think within the conventional matrix. As a result, our minds have been caged into a small box, preventing them from maturing properly. This is why most of us have such a hard time becoming independent thinkers. One of the popular methods that our society uses for conditioning our minds is subliminal message.

Black Friday, Cyber Monday Best Practices
Two of the most important holiday shopping days of the year are Black Friday and Cyber Monday. People are looking for a great deal and often perusing both your site and your competitors to weigh the best deal. At this time of the year, loyalty tends to go out the window. People want to take advantage of a good deal no matter what the company.
Black Friday focuses on in-store deals, while Cyber Monday focuses on e-commerce. The hysteria and madness around the two holidays leading up to Christmas is a great way to generate more revenue and obtain new customers looking for the "deal of a lifetime." Having great sales on these two days can make up most of your yearly sales.

"onePT is the next stage in UK fitness," said Linney, as he joined sporting professionals, potential franchisees and members of the local community at the new gym.
"Consumers are looking for long-term health, not quick fixes, and that is exactly what onePT provides."
onePT is a unique new personal training and fitness company, which will potentially create hundreds of jobs in the region and throughout the UK. Rochdale is the flagship gym in the business and forms the template for a nationwide franchise model. The 5000 sq foot gym offers members unlimited access to its premium equipment along with a private PT session, unlimited group PT sessions, nutritional guidance (with Soulmate Food) and constant tracking and mentoring - only starting each member's bespoke fitness programme after full health & movement assessments. The onePT business includes the onePT Training Academy which guarantees the calibre of the PTs at each gym.
The onePT concept is being spearheaded by Dr Neil Fell PhD, the former manager of the Sports Medicine and Human Performance Facility at St George's Park (the training home of the England Football teams), in conjunction with onePT Academy Director, PT and fitness education professional, Phill Wright. The onePT facility has been designed and equipped in strategic partnership with Darren Golden, MD of world-leading sports equipment company Exigo-UK.
"It's great to see yet another fantastic new business opening in Rochdale," said Cllr Ian Duckworth; "As well as bringing welcome investment and jobs to the borough, it will also help keep Rochdale residents fit and healthy. I wish onePT the best of luck."
Says Phill: "We are very grateful to everyone who came along to our official opening event, and are very encouraged by the feedback and the interest in the franchise model we offer. 2018 is set to be a very busy year!"
Adds Neil, "We are so excited to announce the launch of franchise opportunities for the onePT concept, with a number of locations already in the pipeline and full support from leading nutritional specialists Soulmate Food, Professor Graeme Close and PhD."
Concludes Darren: "In our 22 years of operation as a leading facility design and equipment manufacturer, this is the most exciting project we have ever supplied. We can't wait to build the business further throughout the UK."

Keren Hayesod - UIA (United Israel Appeal)
Keren Hayesod-United Israel Appeal has been at the forefront of Israel's growth and progress for over nine decades! Founded in 1920 as the fundraising arm of the Zionist movement, Keren Hayesod played a decisive role in marshalling the resources needed to establish an independent, sovereign state and helped lay the foundation for the state-on-the-way.
With the help of donations from throughout the world, KH brought tens of thousands of Jews fleeing Europe to Eretz Israel, helped absorb them and started over 900 urban and rural settlements. It provided the newcomers with homes and jobs, and developed the economic, educational, and cultural framework of the Yishuv.
After Israel's independence, Keren Hayesod-UIA became one of the country's National Institutions; the 1956 "Keren Hayesod Law" recognized the organization's unique status.
Today Keren Hayesod-UIA is registered in Israel as a public benefit company, and enjoys status as a non-profit organization. In partnership with the global Jewish community and Friends of Israel in over 45 countries worldwide, Keren Hayesod-UIA helps further the national priorities of the State of Israel. Foremost is rescuing Jews from places where their lives are in peril, encouraging aliyah and absorbing new immigrants. In addition, scores of projects and initiatives are designed to strengthen weak populations in Israel, to provide opportunity for disadvantaged youth, and to connect young Diaspora Jews to Israel and to Jewish life.
With your help, Keren Hayesod-UIA continues to support programs and projects that meet the ever-changing challenges facing the State of Israel and world Jewry.
Keren Hayesod-UIA takes pride in being one of the most effective Israel-oriented philanthropic organizations in the world.
In addition to our commitment to helping Israel and benefiting the Jewish people, we are pledged to provide our donors, both large and small, with the highest level of professional service and guarantee them the most impact for their generous contributions.
This pledge is based on:
- Economies of scale (one global organization)
- Strategic impact based on real priorities
- Low overhead (compared to scope of activity of similar global organizations)
- Experience and unique knowledge of Israel's global connections and networking
- Professional system of monitoring activities and projects
- Reporting based on first-hand knowledge and result-oriented evaluation
- 100% fiduciary responsibility to our donors
With your help, and in cooperation with our strategic partners, we are able to impact Israel and the Jewish people in a wide variety of areas.

Kids & Security: The Cyber Security School Challenge
Now that National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) has come to an end, it is important to remember that security is not just a one-time event or something that we should focus on only one month of the year. Additionally, it is critical that we take the time to educate our young cyber users to be security savvy.
The Executive Women's Forum, in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University, (ISC)2 and the National Cyber Security Alliance, has created a Cyber Security School Challenge, challenging us to take cyber security information to our local schools and educate the children.
Although the EWF focuses on women in security, anyone—both men and women, in and out of the security industry—can participate in the challenge, and it is an easy way to educate our most important users about online safety. This challenge includes materials that can be used, including getting started materials, school introduction letters, lesson plans and scheduling guides. Additionally, there are educational websites and even an interactive game that can be shared or used.
Taking the time to educate our youngest users, who have been interacting with the online ecosystem at younger and younger ages is what I consider a civic responsibility to our changing society. Additionally, it helps grow our communities where we work and live. Consider 8-year-old Reuben Paul, who is a cyber aware CEO. He suggests we teach youngsters about cyberbullying, as well as strong passwords.
Although NCSAM has ended, it is a worthwhile endeavor to spend an hour or two with our children and help protect them as they navigate the sea of information (that most definitely includes monsters!) available to them.
Consider giving back to your community and making a difference.
It will benefit the children and make you feel pretty good, too.

WASHINGTON – Should Medicare abandon "incident to" billing for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) and physician assistants (PAs) as part of its move away from fee-for-service payment? Some of the experts on the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission think so.
A proposal presented at a recent MedPAC meeting would eliminate "incident to" billing – a payment policy under which an APRN or PA delivers the care but the claim is filed under a physician's National Provider Identifier (NPI) and is paid at the Medicare physician fee schedule rate. Instead, APRNs and PAs would file claims under their own NPI and be paid at 85% of the physician fee schedule rate for any claims associated with an episode of care.
About 40% of evaluation and management (E&M) office visits conducted by APRNs on established patients were likely billed "incident to" in 2016, as were about 30% of such visits performed by PAs, MedPAC staff estimated.
"To put these numbers in context, we think that the rates of 'incident to' billing for NPs [nurse practitioners] and PAs mean that roughly 5% of all E&M office visits billed by physicians were likely performed by an NP or PA in 2018," Brian O'Donnell, MedPAC policy analyst, told commissioners.
One reason for eliminating "incident to" billing is that it "obscure[s] the number of services actually furnished by NPs and PAs," Mr. O'Donnell said. "Given the rapidly expanding number of NPs and PAs, Medicare's 'incident to' rules could apply to an increasing number of services."
MedPAC commissioner Kathy Buto, former vice president of global health policy at Johnson & Johnson, expressed support for the idea but raised a red flag that the system could be manipulated so that APRN/PA claims could still be paid at 100% of the fee schedule rate.
Commissioner Bruce Pyenson, principal and consulting actuary of Milliman in New York, suggested that APRN and PA claims should be paid at 100% of the fee schedule, mirroring other Medicare efforts to achieve site-neutral payments.
Similarly, commissioner Amy Bricker, vice president of supply chain strategy at Express Scripts, St. Louis, said that while she generally does not favor redistributing program savings, if APRN and PA claims were paid at 85%, the saving generated should go back to physicians who would otherwise lose money.
That change in revenue was a key concern for Michael Munger, MD, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians.
"We have a policy on 'incident to' billing at the academy," Dr. Munger said in an interview. "It says that services that are delegated to and provided by nonphysician providers under physician supervision must be provided with the same quality and should be reimbursed at the same level as services directly provided by a physician."
He said that lowering APRNs and PAs payments to 85% of what physicians make would impact doctors in a negative way, but if the elimination of "incident to" came with a recommendation that they be paid the same as physicians, it "would be less problematic."
Dr. Munger described primary care as a team sport, and "this is certainly going to be felt in terms of the overall mission of delivering quality care."
Access to care also could be reduced along with the reduced payment level, he added.
"You have to make business decisions at the end of the day," he said. "You need to make sure that you can have adequate revenue to offset expenses, and if you are going to take a 15% cut in your revenue in, you have to look at where your expenses are, and obviously salary is your No. 1 expense. If you are not able to count on this revenue and you can't afford to have NPs and PAs as part of the team, it is going to become an access issue for patients."
Potential access and quality issues also resonated with the American Osteopathic Association.
"You really could see the elimination of the physician element from that practice environment and that would be to the detriment of patients," David Pugach, AOA senior vice president of public policy, said in an interview. "Right now, you have the ability for incident billing, which requires the active participation of a physician in the management of patient care. If you end that practice, you are essentially removing the physician from the equation, and that really is an access issue; it's a safety issue; and it's a quality issue."
He also noted that sometimes there is overutilization of diagnostic services with APRNs and PAs, and while costs may be saved by paying for those clinicians at less than the rate of physicians, the overutilization of other services by them could end up offsetting the savings.
"We have some significant concerns," Mr. Pugach said.
The American Academy of Physician Assistants echoed some concerns expressed by MedPAC commissioners and staff.
"What we feel strongly about is the fact that one of the problems of 'incident to' is that it hides the practitioners, in this case the PA who actually renders the service," Michael Powe, AAPA vice president of reimbursement and professional advocacy, said in an interview.
"We think that's inappropriate for a number of reasons," he continued. "Clearly from the issue of trying to figure who's doing what, who saw the patient, what the quality of care happens to be, we think that PAs ought to be recognized ... and not hidden which happens under the 'incident to' methodology."
He said that transparency helps determine where primary care needs are, whether they are being met, and it helps with determining network adequacy.
"So there are a number of good reasons why the accuracy and transparency should be there whether or not 'incident to' goes away."
Jennifer Winter, committee chair for public education for the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants, agreed.*
Eliminating "incident to" would grant greater visibility of PA practice "because right now, some of what we do is hidden by what the physician does" because it is billed under the physician and you can't see what the PA is doing, especially if there is an adverse event, said Ms. Winter, who practices in Olympia, Wash. "It confounds trying to collect data on outcomes."
She also noted that some physicians might not want to hire an NP or PA "because they can hire a physician and get 100%, but they are also going to have to pay that physician at a physician rate."
Ms. Winter said that PAs and nurse practitioners should be getting 100% of the pay as they are doing essentially the same work that physicians would be doing.
MedPAC staffers also recommended that APRNs and PAs more clearly identify the specialty that they work in, something they do not currently have to do, to allow for more transparency and accurate data on the work that these types of clinicians are performing.

The internet has been FAR too generous with trailers today - first, a brand new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. Then, a new trailer for the live action Attack on Titan movie. And now - a few days before what was intended to be its official release - a leaked version of the Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer!
Warning: some shaky cam and lots of Portuguese subtitles. If you'd rather wait for the clean, official version, check back in on April 20th.
Wow. Everyone hates/fears Superman, Ben Affleck's got the Batman voice down pretty well, Alfred is dropping some wisdom-bombs, and we're gonna find out if Superman bleeds (Batman seems pretty confident). Still no real explanation of why Batfleck is so pissed off at Superman (or why the world fears him so much, other than the whole "completely leveled Metropolis" thing), what's going on with Lex Luthor, or how Wonder Woman fits into all of this, but we've still got another YEAR until this comes out.

Cuts threaten House seats
Both lawmakers noted in interviews that they weren't even in office when President Barack Obama and Congress agreed to tuck sequestration into the 2011 law as the last-ditch consequence if dysfunction reigned in Washington.
But they also know they're the ones who must deal with the effects of the sequester, as critical funding starts drying up in a region full of federal fingerprints, from the Air Force base to dozens of large and small colleges, six airports, meat processing plants and social services used by poor and elderly people.
"Do I get at least as much time to blame everybody else as [Obama] got to blame Bush?" Davis told POLITICO before speaking to Republican boosters who gathered at an Italian restaurant just off the interstate in Greenville, Ill.
Davis, whose district lays just to the north, blasted party leaders on both sides of the aisle for the spending cuts, calling it "laziness" that neither side would turn sequestration off, or at least give the Obama administration greater authority to shift money around among different accounts if the budget cuts did take effect.
As the cuts kick in, Rodney said he's worried that nearly 20 universities and community colleges in his district will have fewer federal grants. He also frets over four regional airports threatened with the loss of air-traffic control towers, including the East St. Louis facility that's the third busiest in Illinois after Chicago O'Hare and Midway and a hub in Bloomington used by employees from State Farm's corporate headquarters.
"I'd say that at this point, it's not overwhelming," Davis said. "Don't get me wrong, I still think it's adversely affecting our families. It's adversely affecting people that through no fault of their own are having to feel the impact of Republicans and Democrats not being able to work together in Washington."
Davis, whose website features a picture of him with Obama on the House floor after February's State of the Union address, is also quick to note that Democrats are gunning for him.
"You're looking right now at the No. 1 target in the nation for Barack Obama, Dick Durbin and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi," he told the Republicans who paid $25 each to attend a Lincoln Day dinner buffet of fried chicken, pork loin and mashed potatoes.
For Enyart, the first weeks of his House career have also been all about sequestration, as he fields emails and calls from anxious constituents like Neal Covington, the owner of an aerospace navigation company in Columbia, Ill., who plans to lay off about a fourth of his 43-person staff as soon as next week if the Air Force cancels a contract.
"If this continues and the renewals and funding don't get continued, I'm in a position where that could end us pretty quickly," Covington said in an interview.
Enyart also said he had a meeting last week in Washington with a top Army official who warned that valuable contracts were in jeopardy because of sequestration.
"How many other Neal Covingtons are there in our country or in our district? I don't have that number, but obviously the ripple effects through the economy are tremendous," Enyart said.
The Democrat pointed to two neighbors who work at the Air Force base who will take a $9,000 pay cut through the end of September once the furloughs start. "Is that son of his going to be able to stay in community college here in Belleville?" he said. "Clearly, they're not going to be buying a new car. And when they don't buy that new car, guess what, the salesman doesn't get a commission."

Brixton Prison information
The original buildings date from 1819. In 1862 the prison was sold to the Government and converted into a prison for females. Twenty years later it was again converted, this time as a military prison, and in 1898, when it was returned to the Prison Commissioners, the buildings were enlarged and improved and made the trial and remand prison for the whole of the London area.
In July 2012, following a long history as a named prison, Brixton became a resettlement prison, housing category C/D prisoners., it no longer serves any courts.

I ran into a follower of this blog yesterday. Yes, you know who you are. It wasn't awkward like the time I realized that the cashier at the grocery store was the same woman who I had been watching through her blinds doing Zumba. This follower and I have actually known each other for a couple decades now, and I doubt that she will seek a restraining order like old Zumba Hips eventually did.
However, the meeting was still shocking to me.
What shocked me was that she told me that she actually reads my blog, or at least reads the time-stamp of the emails she gets when I post another scintillating blog extravaganza. I was struck by the fact that someone is actually on the other end of these blog posts. People do read what I plagiarize, I mean "write" without attribution.
That realization got me thinking that I could do so much more in this space. I could supply inspirational messages that could change lives, rather than the snarky drivel and unending complaints, reminiscent of when I am served a house salad and the dressing is not on the side, that I typically deliver in this space. I could use this space to inspire others to greatness. Perhaps I could inspire someone to cure polio or end telemarketing robo-calls. Perhaps I could inspire youth of today to reach for the stars rather than reaching for the TV remote control or another tube of glue to sniff. Perhaps I could positively affect lives rather than offering easily-forgotten, at best mildly-amusing, and other hyphenated-superlative-described insect-related cartoons. (Editor's Note: Mites are arachnids, not insects) Perhaps I should be using this space to build people up, rather than just taking repeated cheap shots at Donald Trump.
Nah. So a pervert, crook and spy walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What will you have Mr. Trump?"
And make sure to watch this space for a special Beyoncé-themed Mite Be Funny cartoon tomorrow.
There, that feels better. I'm pretty sure they are close to a cure for polio anyway. And did you know some of those robo-telemarketing calls are "smart calls" now that will actually provide answers to my questions like "What are you wearing now?" and "Have you ever taken a Zumba class?"

[Update: The Supreme Court denied cert on Monday, November 7, 2011.]
At its conference tomorrow, the Supreme Court will consider whether to grant cert in a D.C. Circuit case only an admin lawyer could love: National Petrochemical & Refiners Ass'n v. EPA, No. 11-102 (S. Ct.). The question is whether an agency may promulgate retroactive rules based on merely implicit congressional authorization.
The law generally frowns upon retroactive rulemaking where not explicitly authorized by statute. But in a 23-year-old concurrence, Justice Scalia suggested an exception might apply where the agency misses a statutory deadline for rulemaking. The missed deadline "may" provide "implicit authorization" for retroactive rulemaking, despite the Administrative Procedure Act's definition of rules as having "future effect." The D.C. Circuit adopted Justice Scalia's suggestion in a case involving untimely regulations implementing the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which requires that certain volumes of renewable fuel to be used every year. The EPA failed to promulgate the new renewable fuel standards by the statute's December 2008 deadline; instead the agency promulgated its standards in March 2010 with a July effective date. To make up for lost time, the agency rolled the 2009 volume requirement into the 2010 requirement and demanded that the combined total volume be consumed in 2010 despite the mid-year effective date.
Judge Judith W. Rogers held that any retroactive effect in this regulatory scheme was implicitly authorized by the structure of the Act. Aside from the the missed deadline itself, the the necessary gap between promulgation and a regulation's effective date made for the possibility of a few months of retroactivity even if the regulation had been promulgated on time. And the panel pointed to a statutory default renewable fuel standard applicable to a predecessor statute (but not the EISA) as evidence of "Congress' focus on ensuring the annual volume requirement was met regardless of EPA delay."
Judge Janice Rogers Brown and Chief Judge David B. Sentelle dissented from the denial of rehearing en banc, arguing that the panel's exception violates the Supreme Court's clear-statement requirement for retroactive rulemaking and creates perverse incentives for agency delay.
From the panel decision:
EPA had clear albeit implicit authority under the EISA to apply both the 2009 and 2010 volume requirements in the 2010 calendar year in order to achieve the statutory purpose.
From the dissent from denial of rehearing en banc (citations omitted):
The enactments of Congress itself will not be given retroactive effect absent a demonstration of "clear congressional intent" in the form of an "unambiguous directive" or "express command." And it is axiomatic that an administrative agency's power to promulgate legislative regulations is limited to the authority delegated by Congress." It follows that an agency lacks "power to promulgate retroactive rules unless that power is conveyed by Congress in express terms." . . .
We have no authority to grant an agency a free pass to promulgate retroactive rules just because it can't or won't get the job done within the time Congress mandates. . . . The better course would have been to reaffirm the clear-statement rule declared by the Bowen majority and repeated in our most recent pronouncements on retroactive rulemaking. "An agency may not promulgate retroactive rules absent express congressional authority."
From the cert petition in Nat'l Petrochemical & Refiners Ass'n v. EPA, No. 11-102 (S. Ct. July 21, 2011) (citations omitted):
The Federal and Second Circuits have also considered whether an agency could issue a retroactive rule to compensate for missing a statutory deadline, and both courts held–contrary to the D.C. Circuit–that the agency could not. . . .
The question presented is exceptionally important because it bears directly on Congress's ability to impose effective deadlines on agencies. The dissent from the denial of rehearing en banc identified the problems with the court of appeals' missed-deadline exception:
This exception in particular seems ill advised from the perspective of good administration. In practice, it lets agencies like the EPA get away with violating explicit congressional time limits by promulgating untimely regulations with retroactive effects. The missed-deadline exception creates perverse incentives, rewarding dilatoriness and making regulatory burdens even less predictable. If an agency can accomplish tomorrow what the statute says to do today, Congress will lose a common and effective means of directing agency priorities. . . .
[T]he question presented will only become more important in the future because of the number of deadlines that Congress has recently imposed in significant legislation. The recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, for example, imposes no fewer than twenty deadlines for rulemaking by a variety of agencies. Likewise, the recent health care law contains at least nine deadlines for regulatory action.
Despite the panel's recognition of implicit statutory authorization for retroactive rulemaking, the D.C. Circuit has since re-articulated the old clear-statement rule: "It is well settled that an agency may not promulgate a retroactive rule absent express congressional authorization." Northeast Hosp. Corp. v. Sebelius, No. 10-5163 (Sept. 13, 2011) (Griffith, J., joined by Garland, J., with concurrence in the judgment by Kavanaugh, J.).
- Nat'l Petrochemical & Refiners Ass'n v. EPA, No. 10-1070, 630 F.3d 145 (Dec. 21, 2010) (Rogers, J., joined by Ginsburg & Garland, JJ.) (panel opinion)
- Nat'l Petrochemical & Refiners Ass'n v. EPA, No. 10-1070, 643 F.3d 958 (April 22, 2011) (Brown, J., joined by Sentelle, C.J.) (dissenting from the denial of reh'g en banc)

Belmont | Race 8 | Post Time 4:46 p.m. (ET) | Go to the FREE TimeformUS PPs
You have to respect Undrafted (#3), who takes a needed class drop into this allowance race after facing some of the best turf sprinters in the country through the spring and summer. On his best day, he would easily beat a field like this, but it's fair to say that he's probably lost a step in recent seasons. He's still the horse to beat, but I think he's facing an up-and-coming 3-year-old who could give him a real challenge.
BLIND AMBITION (#4) did well to win the Quick Call two back at Saratoga despite the 5 1/2-furlong distance being a bit short for him. He was bet down to even-money when stretched out to a mile last time, and things just didn't work out. He got involved in a taxing, contested pace battle in a race that ultimately fell apart in the late stages. I like him getting back to a one-turn race, and he should be able to relax into a stalking trip this time behind speeds like Angry Moon and Chief Lion.
At a slightly larger price, I also want to include Take Cover (#5), who has been off form in recent races, but has back efforts that would put him right in the mix.
Win: 4
Exacta Key Box: 4 with 1,3,5
Trifecta: 4 with 3,5 with ALL

Inexplicably, I have never seen 'A Fistful of Dollars'. Here is my review of it:
Old Cow-Jaw gulps a happy laugh like a teenage donkey drunk on buffalo piss. Haw haw. Haw haw. He grips a shotgun to his chest like it was the Virgin Mary and he was a crazy shepherd in heat. Haw haw. Haw haw. Old Cow-Jaw never had too much time for Bible-learning. Mount Sinai might as well be a cattle ranch. And Moses might as well be a steer.
The sluice from his gums fires out in torpedoes of brown silt. SPITOINK. His jowls are juicy with puddles of tobacco. SPPPOINK. It splashes on the hooves of the beasts and the boots of the men. PER-TOING.
This here is Devil Town, and Old Cow-Jaw is the most salivatory, sacreligious son of a nickel-tickling sinner old Devil Town ever saw.
He smacks a horse on the snout quick and mean. "Stay down mare or I'll whipsnake those purdy nostrils offa your smellin'-parts. I can read mares' minds and you are one mean-minded mare." He puffs pipe smoke into its eyes. Haw haw. Haw haw. Stupid mare.
Old Cow-Jaw is played by Bob Hope. Big Bob Hope, the Beefy Blimp of the U.S. version of Bollywood. Big Bob Hope who lived to the ripe old age of 146. Big Bob Hope who was completely hairless like a baby, even when he wasn't a baby. His wife had to talc him top and tail every morning to prevent chafing. Secretly Mrs Hope longed for a swarthy hirsute gentleman.
The Man With No Nickname AKA Ralph Beasly, is played by Clint Eastwood. Many men have tried to give him a nickname and now they're six-feet deep. Ralphster, Ralph-Malph, R-Man, Bease-Master, T-Bone – before any of these nicknames could stick, Ralph Beasly shot a hole right through 'em. He's got one name, and it's the name on his birth certificate. Reckless nomenclature can get a man killed round these parts.
'A Fistful of Dollars' is directed by Sergio Leone. It's pretty interesting. Check it out.

WILLIAMSBURG — As sunglasses-clad residents just off work strutted down the sidewalk, Bedford Avenue's latest pack of street musicians clustered on the North Ninth Street corner with a ukulele and guitar.
The dozen men in their 20s came from all over the country to serenade the trendy strip, though their performance was drawing little more than rolled eyes as most passers-by ignored them.
But the fresh-faced group in their dress pants, white collared shirts, ties and metal name plaques smiled.
"I am a child of God and he has sent me here," they sang, trying to hand out information cards about the Mormon Church, officially called the Church of Latter Day Saints.
"Even if one person says 'yes' and the rest say 'no' I feel happy," said one of the missionaries, Dallin McEwen.
"I feel fulfilled. No matter how people respond to me I know I'm doing what the Lord wants me to do," said McEwen, a California native who played football in college before taking a break to join the mission.
McEwen, 20, and his compatriots have recently amped up outreach efforts around the Bedford Avenue L train and southward to their church on Marcy Avenue by the Williamsburg Bridge.
In recent weeks they've started weekly information sessions, known as "street sweeps," where they speak about their religion on the sidewalk, perform music and hand out flyers.
"We've noticed the community feel," the area's mission president Kevin Calderwood said about the blocks in Williamsburg they're targeting, where a dozen missionaries now circulate, rather that two that worked the area previously.
"I'm really pleased with what we're doing."
Calderwood said the same number of missionaries are stationed in Brooklyn as before, but that they have been reorganized to focus more on the blocks by the Williamsburg church.
"We believe we're here to help," Calderwood said, noting that Mitt Romney's campaign for Presidency made strangers to the church more curious.
"There seems to be a heightened sense of 'what do you believe?'" he said, emphasizing the need to "dispel myths" about the religion.
But Calderwood and the missionaries said the new outreach effort is completely unrelated to the election — in fact, the missionaries are discouraged from reading the newspaper, using the Internet, or watching television during their two years of service.
"Our whole central purpose is to make people happy," said Cabanilla, a Utah native who joined the mission after one year of college.
"Every question people ask [about the election] I say 'I don't know, but I'd love to teach you about Jesus Christ.'"
The strict regimen of mission work every day, the young men said, has completely transformed their own lives as well.
"Before my mission I was a selfish 19-year-old kid," reflected Cabanilla, who has two months left of his service.
"Now I'm a caring man."

DHHS → MeCDC → Disease Surveillance → Epidemiology → Diseases → Listeriosis
Listeriosis, a serious infection caused by eating food contaminated with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes, has recently been recognized as an important public health problem in the United States. The disease affects primarily persons of advanced age, pregnant women, newborns, and adults with weakened immune systems. However, persons without these risk factors can also rarely be affected. Infected pregnant women may experience only a mild, flu-like illness; however, infections during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth, premature delivery, or infection of the newborn.
The bacterium has been found in a variety of raw foods, such as uncooked meats and vegetables, as well as in processed foods that become contaminated after processing, such as soft cheeses and cold cuts at the deli counter. Unpasteurized (raw) milk or foods made from unpasteurized milk may contain the bacterium.

text: It's no mystery to lobsters that I love Ace Ventura… I just did a quick search and I have done six posts mentioning Ray Finkle, one as recently as yesterday. So, when I saw the above photo of a Ray Finkle van, I was naturally interested. I don't know where or when the photo is from, but at first glance, I took it for a real half-ass shout-out to Finkle. Some electric tape and a bunch of laces-out footballs taped on the front? Kinda bush. Then I saw they were parked next to what appears to be a police car. That made me smile. Then I got LOL'd big time when I saw the front bumper: "AND A CLEAN PAIR OF SHORTS" Nice.

I have another graduation card for one of our student assistants (we have 3 graduating college this year). This one is for a young man who loves to travel. While I think the new Road Trip stamp set from Papertrey would have been perfect, I don't have it yet (but it's on its way to me this week!) so I used some pretty map paper I found at my local scrapbook store.
I think this sentiment is perfect for a graduate. I didn't have a stamp for it, so I made it myself on the computer. Isn't the Spring Moss-Enchanted Evening color combo pretty?
Cardstock: PTI Spring Moss, Enchanted Evening, Rustic White
Patterned Paper: House of 3 Daily Junque Map
Stamps: PTI Father Knows Best, Label Basics, Scattered Showers (sentiment inside card)
Ink: PTI Enchanted Evening, Memento Pear Tart
Other: PTI Enchanted Evening ribbon, sentiment created on computer, Tim Holtz paper distressing tool
Size: 5.5" x 4.25"

One of the favorite flavor combination's of the season - now in a bite-sized cupcake version!
This is an easy recipe and a sure hit at any holiday party.
Here's what you will need:
Devil's Food Cake mix
small, bite-sized peppermint patties
mini cupcake liners
mini cupcake pan
Step1: Follow the directions on the cake box and mix all ingredients together.
Step 2: Place the cupcake liners in the pan and fill to 1/4" below the edge of the liner.
Step 3: Bake in the oven. While they are baking, unwrap all of the peppermint patties.
3-4 minutes before the cupcakes should be done, open the oven and place one patty on top of each cupcake. Let it continue baking for 3-4 more minutes - enough to melt the patties slightly so that they stick to the cupcake.
Step 4: Let them cool, then remove from pan.
The best part - no time-consuming, messy frosting!
Just garnish with little candy canes, or crushed peppermint.

Dear members,
2013 has got off to a great start with our hugely successful, first-ever International Street Paper Vendor Week. I wanted to thank you all for taking part and for working together to celebrate street paper vendors everywhere. The feedback from vendors, readers, supporters and the media has been incredibly positive and we hope to build on this in future years.
We loved hearing about your vendor activities and events in your local communities, and we were celebrating alongside you here in Glasgow with various events in partnership with The Big Issue. A full impact report of the event will be circulated soon, but for now, I wanted to pass on my congratulations for all the brilliant work going on at your projects which ultimately is about supporting vendors everywhere.
We have an exciting few months coming up as we prepare for the INSP Conference and Awards in Munich. We continue to work alongside several member papers on digital innovation and we will share this information and learning with you as soon as we can. We have also been working with corporate partners to analyse your INSP survey data, the results of which we hope will help to further strengthen and build our network of street papers. We look forward to seeing many of you in July, and to share experiences, best practice and ideas for the future of street papers.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our great board and small team of committed people who do a fantastic job every day for our network.
As always, stay in touch, continue to your share your ideas and feedback and we look forward to seeing many of you soon.
You are all INSP-iring people.
