Municipalities and Medicare: Indiana municipalities often ask whether it's possible to take Medicare "into account" when determining eligibility under a group health plan. This article provides an overview of this complicated area of law.
Buyer Beware: Medicare Cost Plus: Under the Medicare Cost Plus approach, a municipality with a self-funded plan elects to set its own price for medical procedures that is slightly higher than the amount that Medicare would pay for the same procedure. While this may sound enticing, all municipalities need to understand the political and legal risks associated with the MCP approach.
Providers and MCP Arrangements: Very few, if any, Indiana community hospitals will accept payments under a MCP arrangement as full payment for services provided. Attached here are letters from Community Health Network, Franciscan Alliance, IU Health, St. Vincent Health & St. Vincent Medical Group, and the Suburban Health Organization that indicate that none of these organizations will accept the MCP model.

Oklahoma State University is in Tulsa, for Tulsa. OSU-Tulsa's vision includes broadening the University's research capabilities and activities in the Tulsa metropolitan area. As the newest member of the OSU system, the Tulsa campus brings a new dimension to the university's research mission. Tulsa-affiliated research is deliberately fashioned to be innovative and relevant to serve Oklahoma and the unique needs of Tulsa.
The former University Center at Tulsa campus became OSU-Tulsa on Jan. 1, 1999. During this short time, the campus has worked to become an integral part of the Tulsa community and the development of the state of Oklahoma. During this time, OSU-Tulsa has experienced a tremendous growth phase. Student headcount has grown from 1,187 in the spring 1999 semester to over 3,000 currently.
The Tulsa campus has embraced OSU's "one university, multiple sites" philosophy. OSU-Tulsa maximizes university resources by promoting a partnership where learning and research flourish through sharing faculty and resources with the Stillwater campus.
OSU-Tulsa offers area students the chance to pursue their chosen profession at an internationally respected institution while remaining close to home. With more than 80 undergraduate and graduate degree options available, OSU students on the Tulsa campus earn the same internationally recognized OSU degree that students in Stillwater receive.
The excellence of OSU-Tulsa instruction and research activities is a result of the talented faculty. The university recruits professors from all over the world who are committed to students' success and dedicated to providing them a positive educational experience. A significant number of faculty teach classes on both the Stillwater and Tulsa campuses, giving students in Tulsa access to nationally accredited OSU programs and a wealth of talented educators.
Tulsa-based faculty are appointed and tenured through their academic department in Stillwater, and research initiatives are closely coordinated between the campuses. This intellectual collaboration creates an interwoven academic family that leverages the strengths of the Stillwater and Tulsa campuses.
Faculty members at OSU-Tulsa excel in many academic disciplines. Some areas of emphasis for Tulsa research include: aviation sciences, civil engineering, computer engineering, computer science, curriculum and instruction, early childhood, e-commerce, education, engineering and technology management, environmental management, information technology, mass communications, occupational and adult education, telecommunications, mass transportation in the Tulsa area, and watershed and drinking water problems in northeastern Oklahoma.
As part of OSU's vision for a vibrant and prosperous Oklahoma, OSU-Tulsa constructed the Helmerich Research Center. Made possible through Tulsa County's Vision 2025 initiative, the state's 2005 higher education bond issue and Walter and Peggy Helmerich of Tulsa, the $43 million center will stimulate economic development for Tulsa and Northeastern Oklahoma, resulting in collaborations with area businesses and the creation of new jobs.
The HRC houses laboratories for faculty and graduate students who will develop the next generation of composites and materials used by many Oklahoma industries. Research in the HRC will focus on four areas: advanced materials, bio-based technologies, energy technologies and information and control technologies. The 123,000-square-foot research center includes specialized laboratories, clean rooms, an imaging suite, advanced information technology equipment, faculty offices and two high-tech seminar rooms.

More and more, it's looking like drone usage on the farm will be a little bit like snowflakes – no two are exactly alike.
"It's our biggest learning curve," says Rob Ferriol, CEO of CSG Solutions. "How can we deliver this technology to a farmer and teach him or her how to use it given the unique problems each one has?"
Ferriol started CSG Solutions in 2010 after mastering manned and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology during an eight-year stint in the Marine Corps, and four more with U.S. Special Operations Command. He says just like jeeps, GPS and other technologies that originated in the military, drone technology has many potential civilian applications – especially in the agriculture industry.
Right now, the industry is focused on learning more about what UAVs can and can't do. One limiting factor is what Ferriol calls the "negative reflex" of new technology. But increasingly, the biggest limiting factor may just be time, he adds.
"You may not have time to sift through all the data or spend half of a day just learning to fly it," he says.
CSG Solutions is one of many companies working to help farmers use UAV technology to do one of two things on their farm: grow a better crop, or make better use of their resources (including time). Ferriol will be on-hand at the Farm Journal Drone Fly-In event on July 17, where participants can learn more about drone data collection, legal and safety issues and much more. There's still time to register – click here for details.

|Forum Home > Equipment > Choosing your board!
Site Owner
Posts: 444
I have just read an intresting piece on choosing the correct board for you, using volume to make your board choice. Have a read and comment on what you think!!!!!
ENCINITAS, California – Why not place volume alongside other typical stand up paddle (sup) board dimensions, like length, width, and thickness? Whitney Guild gives plenty of reasons to do so. With a robust background in nearly every action sport you can possibly imagine, Guild's experience ranges from surfing and skating to wind surfing and stand up paddling, plus everything in between, including even some breakthrough sports like snow kiting. And experience is not all. He is an exceptional athlete in nearly every discipline he sets himself to. As a highly competitive athlete, Guild's performance in most of these sports has earned countless honors, including even an entry in the Hermosa Beach Surfer's Hall of Fame. Enough said: the man has plenty of credentials to speak on the topic of stand up paddle board design.
Guild's proposal is to make volume a key factor in the board designing and buying process. Volume, he argues, loosely determines a board's flotation. As a result, we can relate volume to both the rider's weight and skill-level to help determine the most suitable equipment for that rider. Guild did just that. He built a water tank and began measuring the volume of a barrage of boards, some belonging to beginning, others to intermediate, and still others to advanced riders. Guild also took notice of the riders' weight. After going through numerous boards, he observed that stand up paddle surfers of a particular weight and skill-level typically ride boards with a similar amount of volume, just enough to comfortably float them. The end result was what we'll call 'The Guild Reference Table for Stand Up Paddle Surfboards.'
Guild Factor (GF) for Beginn. = 2
Guild Factor (GF) for Interm. = 1.7
Guild Factor (GF) for Advanc. = 1.3
Board Volume (L) = (Lbs x .45) x GF
Guild Formulation for stand up paddle surfboards
The Guild Reference Table for Stand Up Paddle Surfboards proffers a correlation among the aforementioned factors: volume, weight, and skill-level. To keep our units straight, we'll be using Liter (L) for volume and Kilogram (Kg) for weight. With that in mind, here is the Guild Table. For advanced riders, the volume of the sup surfboard is 1.3x the weight of the rider. For intermediate riders, the volume is 1.7x. And for beginning riders, the volume is 2x the weight of the rider. With those factors under our belt, we can now determine the volume of the stand up paddle surfboard for anyone surfer, assuming we know his weight and skill-level. Take, for instance, a beginning rider weighing 180lbs. We begin by converting the weight to kilograms (180lbs x .45 = 81kg). Then, we multiply 81kg by the "Guild" factor for beginning riders (81kg x 2 = 162L). And we end up with the volume of the sup surfboard for that beginning surfer, that is, 162L.

Excellent guide IMHO and makes alot of sense.
Based on article, I should be surfing approx. 133(L) board eg: Starboard Converse (9`x30")
Currently on Starboard Drive (10`5"x30")
Anyone interested in buying my tasty board?

Reckon its pretty spot on too! Starboard element or similar for me i think. Might be biting off more than i can chew on the Pocket Rocket!
Posts: 39
Interesting reading.
According to that formula, I should have started on a board with a volume of 192L, but would say I'm curently of intermediate level, thus need a board of 163L
The board I have had since I started Supping is a 10'6" x 30" x 4" Starboard, which has an approx volume of 165L. This, based on that formula, seems thus fine for me as an intermediate, but I would still prefer a slightly bigger board.
My criticism is that the formula do not take into consideration your height, or the type of board (longer narrower board vs shorter wider board) in the calculation.
Eg, I was out on a 10' x 34" Whopper, which was much stabler than my board, but had less volume.
This formula might be a used a good guideline, but nothing can replae common sense and good advice from your local suppers.
Also, I think that there are different size boards which works better in different conditions - chop, surf, flat water etc. and one needs to considder where you are going to use the board most.
IMHO always try before you buy.

Agree 100% Leon, but he did say,
"Why not place volume alongside other typical stand up paddle (sup) board dimensions, like length, width, and thickness?"
Its interesting that some board manufacturers still dont advertise/publish the volume of their boards.
Posts: 52
Hi Leon,
Happy new year, good to hear you SUPing and enjoying it.
Just on your reply, do Starboard make a 10'6" x 30"? They do make a 10'5" Drive!
As I remember from our Killiney downwinder before Xmas, you were on your own Starboard Blend 11'2" x 30", which is approx 174L of volume. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I agree with the importance of try before you buy - and if any of the members and readers of the forum are interested, the boys here at irishsup.com have a hugh selection of boards different lengths, widths and volumes available for anyone to try and they can give plenty of advice on board selection.
Enjoy Leon, see you soon.

Errrrrr, you might be right on the money there, now that you mentioned it". Strange how one forget things so easily. Probably because I have not seen the bottom of my board for a while.

Hmmm interesting... i learnt on a circle one 10'6 x 30 x 4 but couldnt tell you the volume. I'm still using it a year on but its stopping my progression. I love bigger waves and been on it on double over, but it takes bigger waves to get the beast moving... its so heavy!! Didnt realise till feeling the weight of Pauls board at the Portrush Open... I'd prob class myself as intermidiate wanting to progress fast! with the above equation 80kg x 1.7 = 136L
Now i need some help on boards, as they are expensive to get it wrong!
Been looking at the 9'0 McTavish, SB Converse, SB Pocket Rocket, SB Wide Point and the SB 9'1 pro but thats a 4 month waiting list! Paul thanks for the introduction to Luke Short Boards.
So my question is what board would best suit Irish waters, intermidiate level wanting to progress fast, larger surf, fast down the line speed but easier to throw the board around. ??
Live to SUP, SUP to Live :)... only a surfer knows the feeling!

im picking up an old starboard stinger 9'0 by 30" i reckon its the right way to go after i got pauls pocket rocket moving and thats a half a foot smaller!!its an old model which makes feck all of a difference i think except for the price which is far less than the new models with not much change in the designs anyway!paul can give u good deal on some of the older stock olly and then u dont have to wait so long to start kicking our butts!!!

Hey Olly, my opinion for what its worth. Hard to beat the Starboard range, i would not advise you to go near any of the wide points, 32 in wide is going to stop you throwing your board around compared to something more narrow. Pocket rocket great in good surf but real challenge in lumpy stuff! I currently use the SB Superfish (141L) in bigger waves and choppy shit. This is 28.5 wide but has its vol in the length. Surfs loosly. Check out http://2009.star-board-sup.com/products/products.php These are old stock but still available at very competitive price. Give me a call and i can give you excat price!
This conversation could go on and on, try a few different boards and bite the bullet! My Superfish is available to try if you wish.

Again call me for price, have this if you wish to try also!!!

|The progression in SUP within even a short few months can be dramatic IMHO. Having started on a SB Blend 11'2", comfortably moving to a SB Drive 10'5", I now paddle a SB Extremist 9'. To be honest, I believe most of us out there surf SUPs that are much bigger all round than we actually require. Going for the shorter boards (btw there still big compared to even a surf longboard) will ultimately give you so much of a workout, test your balance and bring on your technique and confidence in a way the higher volumes boards never will. Then when you do go back on a bigger board, you will feel so stable, you will be throwing round that board for fun. If you have the luxury and I know it's not cheap but a surf specific short SUP and a flat paddle SUP is best option IMHO. The Luke Short SUPs look like the biggest thing to revolutionise the way we see surf specific SUPs - you heard it here first! SB 9'8" Superfish is quality board, I bet it's not a bad all rounder either?

What a busy time Heartfelt Studio has had over this last month.
Behind the scenes there is much development of new ideas and new skills.
This month three new artists made their début at Heartfelt Studio.
Through networking with international groups we shared a wonderful event here at Dalmally Railway Station.
For two whole days 28 Slovak and Icelandic students worked with native wools and woven tartans to learn techniques such as wool preparation, natural dying using native plants, nuno felting with recycled blankets and creating modern designs for sustainable small scale rural business.
Everyone had an opportunity to try all of the workshops and created a keepsake of their visit. A tall remit with a big cross range of skills and ages.
Ann Ross, Gina Lawson , Lesley Convery and myself rose to the challenge and provided fun in a great learning environment. The attentive Graham saw to the refreshment needs and any difficulties that arose.
The platform at Dalmally Station rang out with laughter and sharing and we all had a delightful two days.
We learned much too as some very talented men and women shared their speciality in a variety of crafts.
You can see what the BOTH and ARCH participants got up to in the rest of their visit to Scotland here.
Arch Network is a Scottish Non Government Organisation promoting learning and development in natural and cultural heritage between Scotland and other European countries.

Auburn defensive back Ryan Smith (24) and Auburn defensive back Jermaine Whitehead (9) celebrate a big stop Saturday, Nov. 30, 2013, during the fourth quarter of the Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala. (Julie firstname.lastname@example.com)
NEWPORT BEACH, California
-- Auburn's secondary finds itself in a familiar position on the eve of the BCS National Championship Game.
Under fire.
Florida State's passing attack, led by Heisman Trophy winner
Jameis Winston
and a deep, talented stable of wide receivers, has drawn a lot of praise this week in California, touted as a sure thing against an Auburn secondary that struggled down the stretch.
By now, Auburn's defensive backs are used to it.
"Playing in the SEC, we see all types of receivers and Florida State, they've got some pretty good receivers," Auburn cornerback
Chris Davis
said. "We've got pretty good defensive backs, too. Like we say, our defense sometimes gets overlooked, but we're ready for the task."
Auburn's lack of depth in the secondary has hurt.
Beset by injuries to
Josh Holsey
Jonathan Jones
, Davis and others this season, most of the Tigers' secondary has averaged 90 plays per game, a tough proposition for any position, but particularly in man coverage against teams throwing it more than 40 times.
"90 snaps a game is very hard, especially against the no-huddle teams," safety
Jermaine Whitehead
, the team leader in snaps per game, said. Things start to happen, you try to help other people, there's a lot that can go on being out there so long."
In the Tigers' memorable finishing stretch, Auburn's secondary gave up 415 yards to Georgia's
Aaron Murray
, 277 to Alabama's
AJ McCarron
and 303 to Missouri's
James Franklin
Plagued by coverage busts, the Tigers also gave up big games to Alabama's
Amari Cooper
and Missouri's
Dorial Green-Beckham
, prompting all the questions about whether or not they can handle Florida State's trio of stars on the outside.
Rashad Greene
(67 catches),
Kenny Shaw
(52) and
Kelvin Benjamin
(50 catches) have each racked up more than 900 yards this season, and tight end Nick O'Leary adds 33 catches for 557 yards, presenting another problem for a team that struggled at times against Georgia's
Arthur Lynch
and Alabama's
O.J. Howard
Throw in Winston, the nation's leader in pass efficiency, and the Seminoles present a major problem for any defense.
Auburn's secondary, on the other hand, has been a boom or bust proposition at times, a unit devastated by injuries that has given up big yardage totals, but also found a way to come up with some of the season's biggest plays.
"When they make the kind of plays that they made at critical times you gotta trust them," Johnson said. "When they make the plays that give up cheap plays you get frustrated. I think we're going to play better in this game, frankly."
Davis is the unit's clear leader, a good cover corner who has locked down the boundary for the most part this season.
And his confidence spreads to the rest of the unit.
Despite the yardage totals allowed, Auburn's defensive backs feel confident going into the BCS National Championship against Florida State. A year after the Tigers infamously picked off just two passes, Auburn has 13 interceptions, along with key plays in every big win that brought the Tigers to this point.
"I feel like our secondary has been overlooked like from when the season just began," hybrid
Robenson Therezie
said. "With 11-plus interceptions, I feel like we gained a lot of confidence and a lot of experience facing quarterbacks like Johnny Manziel and A.J. McCarron and just like Jameis Winston, who we're about to face right now."

Yep, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. It's not my favorite Beatles song; honestly, it might not even be in the top ten (there are so many great ones, after all) but there's something undeniably enchanting about the melody. I know there's many rumors about what it actually means but I like the story about John Lennon's son Julian, as a child, drawing a picture and calling it 'Lucy - in the sky with diamonds' - named after a girl in his class.
The video I found on YouTube doesn't exactly fit with that story, as it's a cartoon and a pretty trippy one at that. So maybe Paul's story on the origin of the name was closer to the truth?
I'm linked up over at Leslyn's Lovely Life for Tuesday's Tunes! Pick a song and come join us!

Ericsson billing solutions pass 2bn subscriptions
Global milestone represents '31% market share of global subscriptions'
Ericsson announced this week that it has surpassed the 2 billion mark in the number of worldwide subscriptions served by its charging and billing solutions, which - according to the World Cellular Information Service (WCIS) database - is equivalent to a 31% market share of global subscriptions.
The 2bn figure is aggregated from subscriptions of Ericsson's charging systems, BSCS, CBiO (Charging and Billing in One) and charging solutions from the acquired Telcordia. These solutions comprise a mix of converged, prepaid and postpaid deployments around the world.
"Two billion subscriptions served by Ericsson's charging and billing solutions is a tremendous milestone that further reinforces our number-one market-leadership position in telecom operations and business support systems [OSS/BSS]," said Per Borgklint, head of Ericsson's Business Unit Support Solutions.
"Reaching this milestone also reflects the success of our operator customers, and we look forward to supporting them with innovative convergent solutions that drive greater operational efficiency and deliver an optimal user experience."
Ericsson charging and billing solutions allow communication service providers to handle all customers, partners and services in a single process, covering prepaid and postpaid, voice and data, fixed and mobile, retail and wholesale in real-time.
Traditional telecom services such as SMS, MMS, voice and broadband including bundled quadruple play offerings are all supported. Ericsson also supports new machine-to-machine offerings and subscriber and partner management functions.
Larry Goldman, partner, head of telecoms software research, Analysys Mason, said: "Ericsson is well recognised for expanding its portfolio with the addition of Telcordia and ConceptWave, which sets them on track toward the position of being the number-one operations and business support systems provider. The company is well positioned with the right mix of OSS/BSS assurance, fulfillment and billing products and corresponding support, consulting and systems integration services to further expand on its number-one market-share ranking."

NBC has tapped Lilly Singh as its new 1:35 a.m. host, making her the only woman, or person of color, to host a broadcast network's late-night show. The YouTube star will replace Carson Daly, who last month said he would step down from Last Call With Carson Daly, which he has hosted since 2002. On the new show, A Little Late With Lilly Singh, she'll conduct in-studio interviews as well as create and star in pre-taped comedy sketches and other segments. Singh will also executive produce the show. "An Indian-Canadian woman with her own late-night show? Now, that is a dream come true," Singh said in a statement. "I'm thrilled to bring it to life on NBC, and I hope my parents consider this to be as exciting as a grandchild." Singh, who has 14 million YouTube subscribers, broke the news on Thursday's episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She was joined by Seth Meyers, whose Late Night With Seth Meyers will serve as A Little Late With Lilly Singh's lead-in. "Lilly is truly a star, and we're thrilled to welcome her to our NBC family," said Doug Vaughan, evp, special programs and late night, NBC Entertainment. "She is a multitalented performer who will surely have a great rapport with not only all her guests but also with our devoted late-night audience. We can't wait to get started." Singh has also appeared in HBO's Fahrenheit 451 and the films Bad Moms and Ice Age: Collision Course, and wrote The New York Times bestseller How to Be a Bawse: A Guide to Conquering Life.

Interior Designer in Cheshire & Wirral
Beautiful Design. Quality Service. Design to Completion.
Get to Know Your Designer – Claire Davies
Claire Davies is amongst the most highly regarded interior designers in the North-West UK, currently offering design services to clients in Cheshire, Wirral, Liverpool, Warrington and the surrounding areas.
An introduction from Claire:
"I have always been a very creative person, and I've always been interested in the arts in their various forms. To me, interior design is an art: The art of altering your home environment to alter your mood and state of mind.
Our environment plays an important role in our day to day lives and how satisfied we are in our environment can have a great impact on our overall well-being and general happiness.
The interior design industry as I see it is a service industry. The service that my company provides is essentially to improve your home environment through interior design.
I'm proud to say that what my clients find attractive about my designs, transcends personal taste and style. This is why I can confidently say that I can create an interior for your home that you will truly enjoy
When you instruct a designer to create something for your home, you are entrusting them with something very personal to you. Maybe your most highly prized possession. Claire Davies Interiors does not take this responsibility lightly.
We understand that inviting a designer into your home can seem strange to begin with. That's why we invite clients to ask as many questions as they want before booking an appointment. Claire will happily talk on the phone or answer questions over email or a call to build on the designer and client relationship. Have any questions at this point?"
We encourage you to book a free 45-minute consultation with Claire to discuss your needs.
Why Work With Us?
"As your interior designer, I see my responsibility as this; to make your home more stylish, elegant and enjoyable than you ever thought possible. Everything I do comes back to that mission statement.
I hope that you find me to be approachable, personable and reliable. Through establishing a connection with clients that choose to work with me, my goal is to deliver an efficient and well managed bespoke interior design service. Your happiness is my priority.
I made a promise to myself when I started my business.
My promise was that every client I work with will agree with the following statement…
"That the value of the service I give, vastly exceeds the fee that I was paid".
I would like you to keep that in mind as you explore the possibility of using an interior designer.
Your home is precious and trust is very important. That is why I would like you to know now that I do not charge for your first appointment. Your first appointment with me is to…
1) Find out what you need.
2) Find out if I can help.
3) Put together a plan detailing what I will do for you.
Read What Clients Have to Say
Claire is the best designer I have known. She did a fantastic job at our place. The house looks bright, fresh and lively. The best thing about working with her is she listens to your ideas and then gives her own. She is immensely patient and professional. (Even though I wasn't in town she kept me posted with pictures and her ideas via emails. ) She did the lounge, stairs and dining room for us. If I had before and after pictures, I would love to put it up. It's unbelievable. She put so much thought into the fact that it's a British Indian couple so the house should have a feel of both cultures. The intricacy of her work is what makes her stand out. We are looking forward to getting the bedrooms done. Thanks, Claire!
Claire transformed our dark and dreary lounge, dining room and hall into bright modern lovely areas.She was always very pleasant and helpful to deal with and very honest.Claire listened to us talk and gained some insight into our interests and was, therefore, able to customize our home to our tastes and interests.We look forward to her returning to do our bedrooms.
We were very impressed by the quality of her work, her dedication and commitment and her ability to find creative solutions. She transformed a very tired and ugly flat into a stylish and beautiful one. Definitely, she is a highly talented designer. She is also very kind, dependable and thorough, always attuned and considerate to our needs and wishes … and our budget! It has been a pleasure to work with her. We would unreservedly recommend Claire Davies.
Claire is very professional and offers great value for money. Claire was flexible to our needs, which means we can achieve a beautiful living room, even on a smaller budget. Claire is approachable throughout the project and gives 110%. We would highly recommend.
Claire has completed renovations of our hall, landing and stairs, two of our reception rooms and our downstairs cloakroom. We are very happy with the finished result and we get lots of comments on how fresh and elegant it looks. The process ran smoothly throughout and everything was well organised and clearly communicated. We will be using Claire's design and project management services on more of our rooms in the coming months. Very happy clients.
Claire has just completed a substantial refurbishment project for us, including new kitchen, shower room and central heating. Nice job and she was a pleasure to deal with.
So pleased with Claire's work in helping me transform my Lounge. From our initial meeting, I was confident that she knew exactly what I wanted…. and the final result was perfect.
Claire was great! Extremely flexible and adapted everything to our budget (which changed every week). Always very responsive to any request – can't wait until we do the loft conversion.
My room is perfect, it is exactly what I wanted. I have floating shelves; beautiful wallpaper; desk organisers; new bedding; awesome cushions; cool studio lights and my favourite, the tent! It glows in the dark and it's blue on the inside and pink on the outside and it hooks away when I want the floor space. The carpet is so fluffy it's unbelievable. Before, I only really came in my room to go to sleep but now I practically live in here. Thank you so much Claire.

Telehealth vendor American Well announces the release of a new app that will allow doctors to begin offering virtual consultations to their patients. The announcement came during the 20th annual American Telemedicine Association conference and tradeshow in Los Angeles this week. Called AW8, the new app provides practices with access to American Well's telehealth platform, which they can use to begin offering remote visits to their patients as a standard offering at their practice.
The new app will allow providers to support both on-demand visit requests and scheduled visits for their patients. American Well imagines the app will be used to help providers address the non-emergency urgent care needs of its patient populations, as well as expand chronic disease management services. In addition to expanding access to visits, the app also connects with Apple's HealthKit API to capture data from connected medical devices, like glucometers and blood pressure cuffs. Providers will be able to use the app to consult with fellow doctors over a secure platform, which will expedite access to feedback from specialists in the primary care environment.
Telehealth's expansion in US healthcare is one with barriers at almost every turn. Most payors are leery of telehealth services, citing concerns that it will drive up healthcare utilization without reducing the overall cost of care, and are reluctant to reimburse for the services, though there are a growing number of payors that are beginning to rethink these policies under certain conditions. Telehealth expansions for Medicare are being actively debated in Congress. Last week, UnitedHealth announced that it will begin reimbursing for telehealth services for its customers. As a result, the early growth of telehealth services have been in the direct-to-consumer market where telehealth vendors are offering consultations paid for completely out-of-pocket by patients. Even in situations where the consultation is paid for out of pocket and no payor is involved, barriers exist. Licensing bodies, for example, have put restrictions in place to limit the growth of telehealth. In Texas, the Texas Medical Board has threatened to punish any providers that write prescriptions over telehealth platforms, citing requirements that consultations be face-to-face. The Texas Medical Board was recently sued for antitrust violations over these requirements, with telehealth vendors arguing that they unfairly and intentionally limit competition in the medical industry.
Financial details behind the new service offering were not immediately disclosed. American Well sells consultations on its apps directly to consumers for $49 per session, a rate that is more expensive than the typical office visit co-pay, and on par with the traditional emergency visit co-pay. To shift its business into the primary care market, fees would likely need to be similar to what a patient would pay for a typical in office co-pay.

I know I frequently position myself as the hapless victim in my stories—what with the prevalence of stalkers, weirdos, and unstable coworkers I deal with on a regular basis. But I feel the need to be perfectly honest with you guys and admit that plenty of signs point to me as being a serial killer in the making.
I hadn't really put that much thought into it until I was discussing wedding venues with my friend, and future bridesmaid, L.
"You should get married at the duck pond, where we burned that Bratz doll."
This isn't exactly the sort of input you usually expect when planning your nuptials, but it did grant a rather bizarre wave of nostalgia. I'd buried the memory of the Bratz doll deep in the caverns of my mind, ensuring that if I'm ever asked under oath about whether I've doused a doll in lighter fluid, placed it on a large stone, and set it ablaze, I can honestly answer: "Not that I recall."
I think we were making some sort of statement on the horrors of these skanky little platform-wearing, cellphone-wielding dolls, but I can't be sure. It seems like a lot of trouble and possibly a waste of money, but 2003 was a much simpler time. Either that or I was just in the pre-killing stages of becoming the inspiration for a future primetime TV show. Be assured, this wasn't the first time.
As a young child, me and my best friend Peeves had a favorite make-believe scenario wherein we were pet store owners. Our shop was called "All Pets" and our slogan was "Sorry, No Refunds." We enjoyed singing and screaming this at our every imaginary customer, as each of our pets met a very tragic end just after being sold.
I don't want to leave anything ambiguous here: We were perfectly healthy little 3rd graders from suburbia who spent our playtime devising all manner of torture for her unwitting Beanie Babies. Taking great care not to damage the mint-condition TY tags, we forced baby whales to live in too-small cages and watched our flamingos fight to the death. No animal was safe from our cruelty, as many a hedgehog or fox met a swift death from a high fall. All the while we would clutch fistfuls of Monopoly money and cackle as we insisted "Sorry, No Refunds!"
I can hear you all coming to my defense, trying to dismiss this as some sort of weird childhood phase I went through, but there have been recent events. Just after I moved back from China, Shleisel and I spent an evening at my brothers' house while he and his family were out of town. Instead of behaving like normal 20-somethings, we eschewed the liquor and other fineries and decided to play with their kids' toys, staging them in all manner of violent scenarios.
And lets not forget that less than a year ago I not only drank whiskey with little plastic babies in it, but I then experimented to see if they would melt in a fire. Can someone please analyze what this means? Actually, don't. Because it's pretty obvious. I'm going to become a serial killer.
Did you do anything this bizarre when you were a kid? Do you think your own children are future killers? What's the most interesting thing you've ever set on fire?

Domestic sales in Japan are expected to recover in 2012, according to Japan-based automakers. Next year, the government will be introducing subsidies while it extends tax breaks as well. Toshiyuki Shiga, chairman of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, said that in 2012, the demand for cars, trucks, and buses in Japan could increase by around 900,000 units after having had a record 14% decline drop this year.
Shiga added that auto sales are expected to increase at the same pace as in 2009 when the government initiated tax cuts and subsidies. The output of Japanese automakers was significantly affected by the March 11 earthquake in Japan and the flooding in Thailand. This prompted Toyota Motor Corp. to reduce its profit forecast by over 50%. The auto group has yet to give its forecast of the total sales for 2012.
It estimates that this year, the demand at its home market will fall to 4.25 million units from 4.95 million units in 2010. The trade ministry said that Japan's government will allot 300 billion yen ($3.8 billion) for the car incentives – a part of its fourth post- earthquake budget.
If the supplementary budget is approved, these subsidies will apply to environmentally friendly cars registered from the launch of the program. Shiga, also known as the chief operating officer at Nissan Motor Co, said that a 7-8% increase this year is expected from the industrywide vehicle sales in China. [source: BusinessWeek]

Chubb had led Condé's digital strategy since 1996. But then the company turned over its magazine websites to their respective publishers, leaving her with just a few stand-alone digital brands, like Epicurious and Gourmet Live. Reached for comment, Chubb confirmed she's working with Andrew Siegel, the new M&A man for Condé Nast parent Advance Publications. Siegel was hired away from Yahoo to be senior vice president of strategy and corporate development for Advance, and he's said to be looking at digital investments and acquisitions. Chubb is a natural go-to for him, having worked at the company 20 years. Outside Condé Nast, she's joined the advisory board of Readability, a digital app that converts articles into a clean reading view. As for Condé Nast Digital, the company is believed to be close to naming Chubb's successor. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2k7gwOn copy Adweek Adweek

Recent Reports Claim Improvements in FDA's Review of Medical Device Submissions
Two recent reports cite gains made by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) in strengthening the clinical trial enterprise and shortening the review times for marketing applications for medical devices. The reports suggest that CDRH's review processes are becoming more efficient, and that on average applicants can expect shorter review times for investigational device exemption (IDE) submissions, premarket approval (PMA) applications, and premarket notification (510(k)) applications, relative to years past.
In its 2014–2015 Strategic Priorities, CDRH announced that it intended to strengthen and streamline its review process related to clinical trials. CDRH announced two specific goals to support this effort: (1) improve the efficiency, consistency, and predictability of the IDE process to reduce the time and number of cycles needed to reach appropriate IDE full approval for medical devices, in general, and for devices of public health importance, in particular; and (2) increase the number of early feasibility/first-in-human IDE studies submitted to FDA and conducted in the United States. CDRH set various targets over the course of 2014 and 2015 to achieve these goals.
On September 24, 2015, CDRH issued an update on its progress. Overall, CDRH claims to have met its clinical trial program goals. For example, the report states that:
CDRH had reduced the number of IDEs requiring more than two cycles to an appropriate full approval decision by 53% compared to FY 2013 performance. The goal had been a 50% reduction. For FY 2015, 73.5% of IDE studies were fully approved within two cycles as compared to 14.8% in FY 2011.
CDRH had reduced the overall median time to full appropriate IDE approval to 30 days, meeting its goal. In 2011, the median number of days to full IDE approval was 442 days.
CDRH had increased the number of early feasibility/first-in-human studies submitted to each premarket Division compared to FY 2013. Specifically, there was a 50% increase in the number of early feasibility study submissions, and a 100% increase in the number of approvals, for the first nine months of FY 2015 compared to FY 2013.
Also, on October 15, 2015, the California Life Sciences Association and Boston Consulting Group—with cooperation from FDA—released an infographic report titled "Recent Trends in FDA Medical Device Regulation." The report addresses trending data about the medical device review process over the last fifteen years, including PMA review times, 510(k) decision times, and variation in performance across CDRH's review divisions and branches. The report found that:
PMA average review times have declined steadily since FY 2010, with the exception of FY 2013 when there was a notable uptick in the percentage of devices referred for panel review (36% in 2013 versus 8% in 2012). PMA average review times for FY 2014 are likely to reach their shortest time since 2000.
Although they are still above historic averages, 510(k) decision times have decreased over the last three fiscal years and the backlog has decreased.
While previously review division and branches varied significantly in meeting MDUFA PMA and 510(k) performance goals, recent overall performance improvements have also resulted in more consistent performance across the Center.
These reports suggest that CDRH has made strides in improving its IDE and marketing application review processes over recent years. If sustained, these efforts should improve the predictability and timeliness of FDA reviews of medical device submissions going forward.

Just when you thought LEGO couldn't get any bigger (like we did recently), they're only going to go and send LEGO figures into space.
So, apparently NASA loves LEGO (one explanation could be the fact that they're both made up of four capital letters) and on an upcoming trip to Jupiter they're bringing some special little guys with them.
Three, possibly frightened, figurines will be attached to the Atlas V rocket as it sets off on its five year journey. The models have been designed to resemble Roman gods Juno and Jupiter (get it?!) and astronomer Galileo. When we say resemble, we mean it fairly loosely. They're LEGO people after all.
They're made from fancy aluminium, rather than plastic, and cost $5,000 each. The bill's being taken care of by LEGO as they're hoping it will help promote children's interest in STEM (The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Education Coalition - you know the one right?) programs. The figurines have been carefully designed not to interfere with any of the probe's instruments. Priorities, after all.
You can track their progress here.

Stocks turned higher, pushed upward by credit card companies despite some less-than-stellar economic reports and news that oil supplies took a dramatic and unexpected slide.
Heading towards 1 pm ET major indexes each were posting solid gains. Tepid growth in gross domestic product and an unexpected surge in unemployment claims held stocks back early, while the drop in crude supplies briefly stunned the market and saw oil prices gain. But that move quickly reversed itself.
The Dow pushed past a 100-point gain while the Nasdaq added more than 1 percent.
Shares gained sharply for Visa, Mastercard and American Express on a report that US consumers were using their credit cards more.
Financials were broadly higher, with gains also posted by Morgan Stanley and Lehman Brothers among others.
Pharmaceuticals helped boost the tech-heavy Nasdaq, on news that Bristol-Myers Squibb plans to buy Kosan Biosciences, whose shares gained more than 200 percent on the news.
Shares of major energy producers, particularly ConocoPhillips , were all lower.
Oil surged after the 10:30 am report on crude stocks, but quickly surrendered gains and fell more than $3, near $127 a barrel. Dollar-denominated commodities did poorly overall as the US currency staged a rally fueled largely by talk of an interest rate increase.
The Federal Reserve may need to contemplate rate rises to fight inflation, even as the US economy is still weak, two Fed policy-makers warned, lending weight tomarket suspicions that rate cuts were over.
In earnings news, quarterly profit at Costco , the biggest warehouse club operator, rose partly due to a 13 percent jump in sales.
Fellow discounter Big Lots also soared as it beat expectations on a 20 percent increase in sales.
But retailer Sears Holdings reported an unexpected first-quarter loss, as sales fell at its Kmart and Sears stores and markdowns hurt margins.
Global miner Rio Tintosaid its production will continue growing for the next seven years and it forecast that commodities prices will continue to rise. Shares slumped despite the generally bullish comments.
Also, shares of equipment manufacturer Joy Global gained after its first-quarter earnings were ahead of analyst estimates, even though profit fell 7 percent.

For ponies so small, Dame Maggie and Princess Rose have had an enormous impact on many lives.
The Shetlands rehomed by Blue Cross work as therapy animals, comforting terminally ill patients at hospices, inspiring children and adults with learning difficulties and even helping to steer troubled youths away from crime.
The mother and daughter, aged 18 and six respectively, were rehomed by Blue Cross Burford to Alex Taskin in January 2016 and she soon noticed their incredible ability to calm and soothe those in their presence.
So having seen on TV the profound benefits that therapy ponies can have on people, Alex was inspired to launch an equine therapy arm to her people development business, with the help of friend Suzanne Halsey.
The pint-sized ponies' first outing as representatives of Equilibrium for Life was to one of their local hospices in Kent early last year, which proved beyond doubt their remarkable affinity with those in need.
"They're incredibly sensitive to people's emotions and feelings. So when we take them to meet patients, they know when someone is really ill or dying. They're completely quiet and just stand there, and they will nuzzle the person.
"It's amazing to see. I'm not sure you can ever understand the science behind it, it's just incredible," said Alex.
Alex and Suzanne now take Maggie and Rose to various hospices at least once a month. And when Blue Cross first caught up with them, the ponies were the star attraction of the Wisdom Hospice open day, standing statuesque still as a queue of eager children took their turns to pet them and brush their manes.
In one particularly touching moment, Maggie rested her head in the lap of a young disabled boy using a wheelchair who was on his way to visit his sick grandmother – and his parents couldn't believe how his face immediately lit up.
"On one visit there was a gentleman, who did not have much longer to live, and Rose just went straight up to him and nuzzled him. He kissed her on the head and was so happy to see her.
"It's nice for people to have these touching photos of their loved ones, who they know will sadly die but it hopefully gives them a nice memory of them smiling," said Alex.
The ponies also travel all the way to Guy's Hospital in central London for its annual Cancer Survivors Day each year and are one of the main attractions.

I don't know how I missed this last month, but I'm so glad to hear about this historic caucus. It definitely touched my heart and soul to see my Soror, U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly, formed part of this historical coalition. In the wake of Amy Joyner-Francis' death, we need a caucus to protect our girls and each other. I would love to find out how to become part of this caucus.
From Black Voices on The Huffington Post:
Three black women in congress made history on Tuesday when they announced the formation of the first and only Congressional Caucus on Black Women and Girls.
U.S. Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.), Robin Kelly (D-Ill.) and Yvette D. Clarke (D-N.Y.) confirmed the news in a press release issued by the U.S. House of Representatives. The release described the caucus as a group devoted to creating public policy that "eliminates significant barriers and disparities experienced by black women."
