Meet a Member of Congress: Representative Wally Herger (R-CA)
Representative Wally Herger (R-CA) was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives by the people of California's Second Congressional District in 1986.@blurbend This district has the highest share of Medicare-eligible individuals in California, confirming Representative Herger's responsibility to protect senior citizens' access to healthcare and to place the Medicare program on sound financial footing for the future.
Herger currently serves on the House Committee on Ways and Means, which has jurisdiction over tax policy, trade, Social Security, Medicare and some federal "safety-net" programs. In the 112th Congress, Herger was named Chairman of the Health Subcommittee, which oversees the Medicare program and provisions of the tax code pertaining to healthcare, as well as regulations affecting health insurance plans offered by large employers.
As a member of the Ways and Means Committee, his primary legislative concerns include: 1) securing economic growth and encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship by reducing the tax burden on American families and small businesses; 2) making government run more efficiently by reducing federal regulatory burdens and spending; and 3) responsibly reforming entitlement programs to make them sustainable and ensuring that they will still be around for future generations of Americans.
As the chief Republican on the Health Subcommittee, Chairman Herger has played a leading role in the healthcare debate. He believes the free market will increase transparency, competitiveness and efficiency to make healthcare more affordable for all Americans. He also strongly supports a system that keeps bureaucrats away from medical decisions and places the power in the hands of patients and their doctors.
We recently sat down with Chairman Herger to discuss his work on healthcare reform, as well as the Committee's healthcare priorities.
Q: As the new chair of the Health Subcommittee for Ways and Means, you have a lot on your plate right now. What big issues will your committee face this year?
Herger: My top priority continues to be the effort to repeal the recently enacted healthcare overhaul and replace it with reforms that focus on reducing healthcare costs. I am concerned that the new health law, if it goes into effect, will make healthcare more expensive while undermining the doctor-patient relationship. As Chairman of the Health Subcommittee, I will be shining a spotlight on the problems with this law and working to find ways to prevent its damaging consequences. Other areas of focus for the Subcommittee will include finding a long-term solution for the Medicare physician payment system and beginning the process of addressing Medicare's long-term fiscal crisis.
Q: Obviously, one area of concern for our members is the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR). The current rates are set to expire on December 31, 2011, and physicians will be facing a nearly 30 percent cut in reimbursement. I want to thank you and the Congressional leadership for starting work on this early. What do you think might happen this year before the next cut goes into effect?
Herger: The SGR creates tremendous uncertainty for both physicians and Medicare beneficiaries. The recent practice of short-term patches to avoid cuts under the SGR only makes the problem more difficult and expensive to fix. We need to move forward on a permanent solution. This won't get done overnight – if it were easy to find a way to pay for the approximately $300 billion cost of doing away with the SGR, it would have happened by now. This week, the Ways & Means Health Subcommittee, which I chair, will hold a hearing on reforming the Medicare physician payment system*. This should be a "from the ground-up' process and I look forward to receiving input from physicians on how to best replace the SGR.
[*Editor's Note: This Committee meeting took place on May 12, 2011.]
Q: Another big concern for our members, and most physicians, is the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB). The President and others in the Administration already hope to strengthen this board, while physicians and most of healthcare call for its repeal. (We have supported H.R. 452/S. 668 to repeal the IPAB.) What do you see happening with the IPAB—is there a realistic chance for its repeal?
Herger: I believe that the IPAB, along with the rest of the new health law, needs to be repealed. Empowering a panel of unelected bureaucrats to hold down Medicare spending will inevitably lead to rationing. The best solutions to high healthcare costs will come from the private sector, not government. Unfortunately, the Senate has so far resisted efforts to roll back the healthcare law, while the President is calling for even more power for IPAB. It is important for physicians to let their representatives in Congress know about the negative impact of the IPAB and press for its repeal.
Q: What other issues are you personally championing this year?
Herger: In addition to the SGR and other Medicare reimbursement issues, many physicians may not be aware that a new tax law will require the withholding of 3 percent of government payments to contractors. This will create an additional regulatory burden as well as cash flow problems for some physician practices. The IRS has announced that it will go into effect on January 1, 2013. I have personally introduced legislation (H.R. 674) to repeal the 3 percent withholding tax and this is one of my top priorities in this session of Congress.
Q: Is there anything else you would like to say to our members?
Herger: I want to sincerely thank you for the work that you do. Thanks to the dedication and hard work of physicians across the country, Americans are enjoying longer and more fulfilling lives. We shouldn't lose sight of that as we work to find ways to lower healthcare costs.

How Do I Properly Code for CT Scans of the Abdomen and/or Pelvis Performed in our Facility?
Lessons learned and a call to action for urologists in every other stateMark T. Edney, MDPresident, Maryland Urologists for Patient Access and Care
With the close of the 2011 legislative session on April 11, Maryland acquired the dubious distinction of becoming the only state in the Union to deny urologists and any other non-radiologists the ability to provide their patients with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) in the medical office setting.@blurbend What follows is a brief summary of how Maryland got to this point. It is a story of restrictive policy enacted without urology and other specialties at the table. It is also an example of nationally-supported state-level advocacy at its best. Most importantly, it is a trove of lessons learned for those who would advocate for the autonomy of urologists and all other treating physicians in every other state to be able to furnish their patients with the highest quality integrated healthcare services within their own medical practices.
In 1993, the Maryland General Assembly enacted the State's Patient Referral Law. Like the federal physician self-referral law, the Maryland law included a broad prohibition against physicians and other healthcare practitioners referring patients to healthcare entities in which the practitioners had ownership interests. Several exceptions to this rule were included in the law. The ones that have been a part of the current discussion are:
What made Maryland's law unique was that, when the law was passed in 1993, radiology interest groups sought to create a monopoly over MRI and CT services by getting the legislature to carve those services out from the "in-office ancillary services" exception unless furnished by an office consisting solely of radiologists or by a radiology group practice. No other state in the country nor the federal government had ever included such a carve out for one medical specialty in a physician self-referral law.
Since 1993, the evolution of CT and MRI technology has resulted in each modality being increasingly relied on for efficient and accurate diagnosis of more disease processes across multiple specialties. Accordingly, a variety of specialty practices including urology, orthopedics, gastroenterology, emergency medicine, cardiology and others have acquired these tools to provide timely, high-quality diagnoses to their patients at the point of care. In Maryland, this was done with the understanding that furnishing such services was permitted under the independent "group practice" or "direct supervision" exceptions.
Since 1993, the relationship between these various exceptions to the Maryland Patient Referral Law as applied to in-office MRI and CT services has been contested in Circuit Court twice, once with a ruling favorable to the treating physicians (a group of orthopedic surgeons) and another ruling against and in support of the State Board of Physicians, which had interpreted the statute in favor of radiologists' interests. The Maryland Court of Appeals (the State's highest court) decided to consider the second of these two cases and heard oral argument in October 2008. More than two years later, the Court ruled on January 24, 2011, in favor of the Board of Physicians ruling (against non-radiologist treating physicians owning and furnishing in-office MRI and CT services).
Paralleling the court cases, the battle on behalf of treating physicians has been fought in the Maryland General Assembly every year since 2007. The state-level effort has been spearheaded by the Maryland Patient Care and Access Coalition (MPCAC), a multispecialty coalition of orthopedists, urologists, emergency physicians and gastroenterologists. Maryland's state urology coalition, Maryland Urologists for Patient Access and Care (MUPAC), has also been intimately involved in the effort. Although a compromise bill that would have preserved treating physician's ability to furnish in-office CT and MRI services had been introduced in each of the last several sessions, it had not made it out of committee in the House or Senate, not for lack of support but, rather, because the General Assembly was waiting for resolution of the judicial process.
The AUA has been a tremendous support and partner in this effort in Maryland both financially and in terms of lending its voice to the cause. The AUA was the lead national medical specialty organization coordinating the preparation and briefing of supporting urologists and the other treating physicians in the court cases. Also, Brian S. Bailey, AUA Government Relations & Advocacy States & Sections Manager, coordinated a sign-on letter in support of the legislation that was signed by 10 national medical specialty organizations. Other national organizations, including the American Association of Clinical Urologists (AACU) and the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, were also instrumental in national level support of this state effort.
With the Court of Appeals ruling, the 2011 session was "do or die" for our bill protecting treating physicians' right to furnish in-office MRI and CT services. The large-scale effort of coordinating committee testimony, overseeing the messaging to legislators, and coordinating a unified voice amongst the various interested state and national parties was handled expertly by our coalitions' attorney Howard Rubin and his team at Katten Muchin Rosenman. We also benefitted greatly from the expertise and guidance of our lobbyists at Manis Canning & Associates led by Van Mitchell. It truly was state-level advocacy at its best.
After this well-coordinated effort, and with, by most accounts, enough votes in both the House and Senate Committees to get the bill to the floor of each chamber, the bill died. It died not because it was defeated on the merits as a matter of public policy, but simply because of pure politics by which entrenched radiology interests were able to convince certain members of leadership in the House and Senate not to allow committee votes to test the appropriateness of maintaining monopolies for radiology over CT and MRI services.
The message for urologists and all other treating physicians outside of Maryland is to get organized and be vigilant. The American College of Radiology considers Maryland's current policy to be a "model for the rest of the country." There have been heretofore unsuccessful attempts in Pennsylvania and Oregon to enact Maryland-esque monopolies over MRI and CT services for radiologists in physician self-referral laws. These attempts are just the beginning. Urologists interested in advocacy should contact others in their states – within their own medical specialty and across medical specialties – and build coalitions. You need experienced healthcare attorneys and lobbyists. It is not as expensive as you might think and should now be considered the "cost of doing business." We have a phenomenal team of experts in the AUA's Government Relations & Advocacy Department, as well as at the AACU, who can complement the efforts of those who are your "boots on the ground" in your state much like the very positive team effort in Maryland. An organized coalition can go on offense and promulgate good common sense self-referral policy where none exists. It can also quickly organize to defend against legislation harmful to the autonomy of urologists and other physicians who seek to provide their patients with the highest quality integrated medical care in their offices. The AUA works vigilantly to protect urologists' rights against these kinds of attacks under federal law, but each state needs its own effort to complement the work of the AUA in order to prevent more restrictive policy from being enacted. As Maryland's experience illustrates, it is far harder to undo a restrictive policy once enacted into law than it is to start fresh with good policy. State level coalitions can make this happen.
Urologists Receive 3.3 Percent of Electronic Prescribing Incentive Money Paid for 2009
According to the 2009 Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) and Electronic Prescribing (ERx) Experience Report (link removed) recently issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), urologists received ERx incentive payments for 2009 totaling almost $5 million dollars and representing 3.32 percent of the national total paid to all providers for the year.@blurbend Ophthalmology received the highest percentage, with more than 20 percent, and cardiology was second with almost 17 percent.
The mean amount paid to a urologist for 2009 (representing 2 percent of their Medicare allowables) was $4,578. CMS noted that 21 percent of the eligible urologists participated in the ERx program and more than half of those who participated (56 percent) were successful in collecting an incentive payment. In 2009, a provider could use three codes to report his/her ERx behavior and could only report using the claims reporting mechanism. In 2010, the number of codes was reduced to one (G8553) and there were more reporting options (claims, registry and electronic health records). It remains to be seen if the simplification of reporting will lead to higher incentives for 2010, but through the first half of the year, the CMS statistics indicate that performance rates are lower.
CMS Launches Useful Calculator to Help Understand Attestation Requirements for EHR Incentive Program
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) Meaningful Use Attestation Calculator walks eligible professionals through the core and menu measures to help determine if they have met all of the objectives and their associated measures for Meaningful Use prior to attempting actual attestation. Because of the wide flexibility of quality measures, the calculator does not itemize clinical quality measures. This type of measure data must be reported directly from a certified electronic health record (EHR) and will need to be entered in the Web-based attestation system to receive an incentive payment. This tool will help a practice understand exactly what data needs to be extracted from its EHR to successfully attest to Meaningful Use after their 90-day reporting period. Click here (link removed) for more information about the attestation process.
Three EHR Vendors Demonstrate Meaningful Use Measures at 2011 Urology Practice Management Conference
The final session of the 2011 Urology Practice Management Conference from May 13-14, 2011, held by the AUA Practice Management Department in cooperation with the MGMA Urology Administration Assembly, was an actual demonstration on three different certified EHR systems of core measures required for Meaningful Use. Allscripts, Meridian and Urochart each put their certified software through the paces to show how computerized physician order entry, vital signs with calculated body mass indices and decision support rules work in the Meaningful Use environment. Robert Dowling, MD, from Urology Associates of North Texas (who is also a member of the AUA Health Information Technology Workgroup) served as moderator, along with Rick Rutherford, AUA Director of Practice Management. The session was designed to allow conference attendees to "look under the hood" of systems as they carry out these Meaningful Use requirements. The audience was supplied with Audience Response System (ARS) devices to react to the demonstrations. In response to one ARS question, more than 70 percent of attendees indicated that they already had EHR systems in place in their practices. ARS responses before and after the demonstrations noted that attendees gained confidence in understanding how Meaningful Use actually happens in a typical urology working environment as a result of this course.

Research reports suggest that the rate of infectious complications, including sepsis, after transrectal prostate needle biopsy may be increasing. Recently published news articles highlighted these findings, and it is important for urologists to be aware of this issue.
According to the AUA Best Practice Statement on Urologic Surgery Antimicrobial Prophylaxis, the antimicrobial of choice prior to prostate needle biopsy is a fluoroquinolone or a second- or third-generation cephalosporin. Alternative agents include an aminoglycoside plus metronidazole or clindamycin. Oral fluoroquinolones are the most commonly used agents in clinical practice.@blurbend
The primary reason for post-biopsy infections appears to be the presence of fluoroquinolone-resistant organisms in the fecal flora. Risk factors which predict the presence of resistant bacteria are not well defined, but may include previous fluoroquinolone administration, and patient occupation as a healthcare worker. Prior to performing a transrectal prostate biopsy, urologists should consider broadening the antimicrobial coverage in patients with these risk factors. Furthermore, in men with signs of an infection after prostate needle biopsy, the presence of resistant bacteria is likely and broad-spectrum treatment should be initiated.

Glasgow moved above the Ospreys and into the RaboDirect PRO12 play-off spots after beating Treviso 29-10 with a bonus-point.
Glasgow moved above the Ospreys and into the RaboDirect PRO12 play-off spots after beating Treviso 29-10 with four tries at Scotstoun Stadium.
Henry Pyrgos touched down twice, while Niko Matawalu also went over, as Glasgow took a 19-10 lead into the interval.
Treviso's response before the break came through Alberto Sgarbi's try and the boot of Tobias Botes, but they couldn't force their way back into the game in the second half.
Instead, the hosts controlled proceedings and secured the victory via Finn Russell's penalty and Sean Maitland's score.
With a position in the top-four at stake, Glasgow opened brightly and raced into a 12-0 lead after just four minutes.
Maitland was to the fore with the first, breaking down the right-hand side and off-loading to Pyrgos who scampered clear.
Matawalu then got in on the act, supporting Mark Bennett's midfield break and going in under the posts for a well-worked score.
Although Treviso responded through Sgarbi, who was on the end of a flowing backs' move, the Warriors duly re-established their 12-point cushion when further good work from Maitland resulted in Pyrgos crossing the whitewash.
Botes reduced the deficit at the break with a penalty, but Gregor Townsend's men prevented any chance of the visitors threatening a comeback in the first 15 minutes of the second period.
Russell kicked a three-pointer before the Scottish outfit's right-wing moved them 29-10 clear by touching down.
The Italian side pressed for a consolation score late on and were boosted following Tyrone Holmes' sin-binning, but they couldn't take advantage and Glasgow held them out.

Local leaders: please see the information below and send the names of some of your Sparks my way! Attached are two fliers that you can use to generate interest in the program.
NJEA Sparks is catching fire again!
In 2005-06, NJEA launched a pilot Sparks program to identify highly motivated, energized, and talented future leaders for the Association. Since then, the program has exceeded our wildest expectations with some 200 members participating—including 18 members in the 2012—2013 school year. After participating in a unique training/orientation program, our Sparks have gone back to their locals and gotten involved—as officers, committee chairs, and activists. Others jumped right into county and statewide NJEA involvement. One former Spark has even become an NJEA field rep! What we saw in these Sparks was potential, and the Sparks program helped them to realize it.
We are looking for potential Sparks!
We are asking NJEA staff, leaders, and members to identify potential Sparks for the class of 2014. Specifically, we are looking for members who are:
35 and under
Six or less years of experience
Sparks are easily recognizable. They have that little extra "something"—that "spark" that ignites everyone around them. When you discover one, you'll think, "Wow! I would love to bottle his/her energy and enthusiasm and get this person more involved in the Association." You'll recognize "Sparks" by
the way they interact with their colleagues, approach their work, and/or just stand out in a crowd with their positive attitude and inquisitive nature.
How to submit nominations
Nominating a Spark is easy. Just send an email to email@example.com with the potential Spark's name and local, how you met, and why you think the person is a Spark.
We'll send each nomination a survey packet to determine his/her level of interest and availability. One Sparks event is planned for April 4—6 2014, so please submit your nominations by January 15th. PD hours will be awarded to participants following the event.

Six Pack From Down Under
The A-League off-season has begun and with it come the rumours and conjecture about player movement, much of it in the direction of Europe. The A-League is, of course, a "selling" league so it's no surprise when the likes of Marco Rojas head for Germany.
In the meantime, there's no rest for the reigning champions Central Coast, who qualified for the next phase of the Asian Champions League. And with World Cup qualifying and Liverpool and Manchester United set for visits Down Under, the next few months will be far from stagnant.
1 Grand Final champions Central Coast Mariners have backed into the knockout round of the Asian Champions League and will face Chinese powerhouse Guangzhou Evergrande, coached by former Italian national team boss Marcello Lippi. Central Coast was soundly beaten by Group H leaders Kashiwa Reysol 3-0 at home, but thanks to Suwon Bluewings, who drew with Guizhou Renhe, the Mariners advanced to the round of 16. Central Coast is only the third Australian team to make it to the knockout stage.
2 Liverpool's July 24th appearance at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was given a boost by Reds' legend Ian Rush who fronted the media here last week. Rush, who had a three-match stint with Sydney Olympic in 1999, held court on a number of topics and said he was impressed with the massive MCG. Close to 80,000 tickets have already been sold for the match between Liverpool and Melbourne Victory, and with Melbourne Cricket Club members still to claim their tickets, the final crowd number could push towards 95,000.
3 Adelaide United has hired Spanish-born Josep Gombau as its new head coach. Gombau, who spent six years as a coach at Barcelona's academy, comes from Hong Kong club Kitchee, which he led to two league titles in four years.
4 Melbourne Heart, which will turn a small profit this season, has admitted that it has knocked back a couple of takeover offers. The latest was from Victorian Premier League (and former NSL) club South Melbourne, which wanted to move Heart to its Lakeside Stadium base. Heart, which has yet to capture the imagination of the footballing public and averaged just 8,500 fans this season, narrowly avoided finishing on the bottom of the ladder. CEO Scott Munn was on the defensive this week, saying his investors are happy: "We can sustain a club, we can post a small profit and that puts us in an enviable position for investors, knowing they won't have to reach into their pocket each year."
5 Premiers' Plate winners and Grand Final runners-up Western Sydney Wanderers have released four players. Croatian striker Dino Kresinger, who struggled to find the net this season, is gone along with Tarek Elrich and Rocky Visconte (both started in the Grand Final) and Joey Gibbs.
6 Midfielder Mark Milligan has won Melbourne Victory's best-and-fairest award, outpolling A-League player of the year Marco Rojas 53-47. Milligan brought toughness and versatility to a rebuilding Victory side and was a reliable penalty taker as well.

Managing public money
This publication offers guidance on how to handle public funds.
This 2013 version updates the 2007 version, which can be found on the National Archives.
The public, and Parliament acting on their behalf, have a right to expect that funds raised using powers agreed by Parliament will be used for the purposes intended. Public servants have a demanding fiduciary duty to use public money responsibly.
Much of what managing public money requires is just good common sense, or sound financial management. There are also some specific rules and conventions about how certain things are handled, which ensure that policies, programmes and projects work smoothly and serve their intended purposes.

- See the sights illuminated at night
- Choice of seating available
- Several menus to choose from
- Free drinks included
- Travel by boat and see the sights from the water
- Dinner included
Begin your Seine River cruise with an early evening pickup from your Paris hotel. Head to the bank of the river — beneath the city's famous Eiffel Tower — hop aboard your boat and head out onto the gentle waves.
Leave the Eiffel Tower behind you and cruise along the Seine River's left bank. With the bright city lights dancing and shimmering across the water, take in panoramic views of top city attractions such as Notre Dame Cathedral, the Musée d'Orsay, the Louvre and Place de la Concorde. Turn around at Île Saint-Louis and head back to your starting point, this time taking in the views from the right bank of the river.
Choose from three different seating plans for your cruise, depending on your group size and location preferences. The 'service etoile' is for groups of six to eight people and the tables are in the center of the boat. Upon arrival, you'll be served an apéritif and snacks along with wine, mineral water and coffee. The 'service privilege' is for a maximum of four people, with the tables sitting close to the window. Your choice of aperitif is included, along with wine, mineral water and coffee. The 'service premiere' is for a maximum of eight people and the tables are at the front of the boat. On arrival at the pier, meet your hostess and enjoy priority boarding access. On board, a choice of aperitif is served with snacks, followed by a selection of wines, mineral water and coffee.
Your boat's glass roof and panoramic windows ensure unobstructed views of the illuminated riverside sights of Paris regardless of your location on the boat.
With the waves lapping gently at the side of your boat, sit down to a fabulous 3-course dinner prepared on board by Chef Gras — an 'Académie culinaire de France' chef — and his team. During dinner, there's sophisticated entertainment from a singer and band as you glide along the Seine River.
After three hours on the river enjoying delicious food, live music and amazing views, disembark your boat and hop back in your vehicle for the journey back to your Paris hotel where your tour will come to an end.

Hi, I'm Gayle. I'm a retired teacher and am very much enjoying all of God's blessings - especially our grandchildren and traveling. My husband and I love to travel in our RV, and though I'm definitely an amateur, I enjoy taking pictures of the amazing beauty to be found everywhere we go. I first fell in love with this site when I used the wunderful radars as a weather teaching tool in my classroom. Thanks Wunderground! Since I retired I discovered how much I enjoy seeing the world through the pictures here. I am so inspired by the beauty captured by you talented people. There's much to learn from all of you.

Acts of the Apostles 3:11-16
Prokeimenon. Mode 1.
Psalm 26.1,2
The Lord is my light and my savior.
Verse: The Lord is the defender of my life.
IN THOSE DAYS, while the healed lame man clung to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico called Solomon's, astounded. And when Peter saw it he addressed the people, "Men of Israel, why do you wonder at this, or why do you stare at us, as though by our own power or piety we had made him walk? The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified his servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him. But you denied the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, and killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead. To this we are witnesses. And his name, by faith in his name, has made this man strong whom you see and know; and the faith which is through him has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all."

Bulk Sage at Starwest Botanicals
Sage Leaf is from a plant native to the Mediterranean, where it has long been used as a cooking herb as well as for therapeutic purposes. A member of the mint family, sage spice adds a pepper-like flavor to many savory dishes. Organic sage is used in the finest German and English sausages, and rubbed sage is a common flavoring for rich, fatty meats such as pork and lamb. In France, it is used for lighter meats, poultry and fish, while Italian cooks sauté it in olive oil and combine it with cheese to create the stuffing for a pasta dish known as buro e salvia.The term Salvia is in fact the scientific name for sage leaf. If you think that sounds a little bit like "salvation" or "salvage," you're not far off. "Salvia" is the Latin word for "healing," and current research suggests that organic sage may in fact be useful in the treatment of bacterial and fungal disease as well as early stage Alzheimers. (It is not recommended for therapeutic uses in patients that are taking stimulants or tranquilizers, however, due to possible negative interactions.)
Purchase Rubbed Sage in bulk from Starwest Botanicals and you are assured of quality and purity.
Starwest also stocks a line of organic spices in jars and pouches. Purchase a conveniently sized portions of Organic Sage in a Jar or Pouch. When you buy sage from Starwest, you are assured excellent customer service and fair prices.

text: The Juubi is currently being controlled by Madara/Obito injecting their own consciousness via roots, similar to how Madara implanted his Will into the Mazou. This raises possibilities... Madara and Obito could either fight for control of the Juubi, or else Naruto could try and insert the Will he received from the other Bijuu, thus giving the Juubi its own consciousness. Personally, I'd like to see both happen.

So comfy!
"I was looking for a new pair of versatile shoes and didn't want the standard "running" shoe, as I don't run much anymore due to bad knees but still visit the gym for classes, free weights, etc. These are nice and comfortable, give good support but are freeing! Light and flexible, and plenty of toe room for me. I am an 8-8.5 in shoes regularly, and sometimes have to size up for athletic shoes, but the 8.5 fit me perfectly!"

I don't know if this thread was posted, but I'll do it again.
Here is my theory.
I believe that Minato cannot be resurrected via Impure World Resurrection/Edo Tensei, but Kabuto could have improved the jutsu. There is a possibility of reviving people from the Death God's stomach, if Kabuto had improved it.
Orochimaru's 3rd coffin is not Minato, which is my theory. If Minato truly was sealed in the belly of the death god, then when Orochimaru had attempted to summon Minato during the time, where you have the DNA, sacrifice etc, would have ultimately failed.
Although the 3rd coffin was appeared to raise higher and higher, and Hiruzen had to throw shuriken at it to throw it back down. If the 3rd coffin were to raise, that means the summoning of this individual was successful. Orochimaru summoned the three people he resurrected and stored them in coffins. If the summoning was successful then the third coffin was not the 4th. This is further supported by Kabuto's comment of Orochimaru trying to summon the 4th and FAILED.
This further supports that the 4th cannot be summoned via Impure World Resurrection.
So what was the third coffin? We might never know.

This episode kicked ass! I knew the action chapter / explanation chapter would work more smoothly in the anime. Plus the music and animation were spot-on. Can't comparing about getting 3 chapters in one episode!
true, and it builds up to the big reveal next week.. what would concern me is if they start flashing through chapters so fast we'll get more fillers soon. though some of the flashbacks have potential to get dragged out

Mark of the Beast - The Great Counterfeit
4 Replies
2 Topics
Joined: Feb-27-2011
Years ago I believe the Most High led me to study the subject of the mark of the beast in greater depth. As I began to study the topic from the Scriptures I realized that the mark of the beast subject ran all throughout the Holy Scriptures and was not relegated to just
the book of Revelation. It is one of the main themes of Scripture. By letting the Scriptures define the mark of the beast, it is seen that it is a counterfeit of the mark/seal of YHWH. I realized that one of the most important ideas put forth in the Word is that the adversary/devil/Lucifer/Beelzebub etc. seeks to be like the Most High (Isaiah 14:14). He is a counterfeiter. As this became more clear to me, the subject of the mark of the beast became more clear as well.
I began this study by looking into Revelation 13:16-18 in more detail in the Greek and tracing the Greek back to Hebrew as well as thematic connections found in Scripture. From there I followed what I found and continued to follow the subject matter that was laid
out from thereon out. I attempted not to interject my own preconceived notions as to what the mark was, but to truly let the Scriptures/Holy Spirit be my guide.
In short, the mark of YHWH is His Word. His Messiah. His people will be marked with His mark. The mark of the adversary is his 'word.' His Messiah. His people will be marked with his mark which will be an counterfeit version of the mark of YHWH. The mark of YHWH is His 'Image.' The mark of the beast is his 'image.' Man must choose which side he wants to be on. This has been the choice ever since the garden, the tree of Life or the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
The mark of the beast is a replay of the deception in the Garden of Eden. The Scriptures state that the end is in the beginning (Isaiah 46:10). The first temptation of man will also be his last. The tree of knowledge was an offer by the adversary for man to reject
the true Word and to obtain immortality (ye shall not die) via another method, the obtaining of knowledge. This has been the offer of the adversary ever since. If one looks into any religion in the world today he or she will find that this is the same lie being proposed in various forms. All of these religions trace back to the Mystery Religions of old which descend from the Garden and the serpent in the tree. This includes Christianity, Judaism & Islam. The symbols used to represent these religions tell the story.
In summary, the mark of the beast is his image, his name/character placed upon his followers. Just as believers in YHWH are marked/sealed with His Name & will be formed into His Image. The first choice man had to make was between the tree of Life or the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This will be the last choice
man must face as well.
By allowing Scripture to define what the mark of YHWH is and what the mark of the beast is, and by following the facts through history one can see that there has only been two choices all along. Salvation by grace through faith in Messiah Yahshua or salvation by 'works' or 'knowledge' that must be attained by graduations after being initiated.
In the beginning, YHWH Elohim created man in His image and likeness. After man fell in the Garden, the promise was that He would restore man back to that estate by taking upon Himself the punishment for man's sin. It is then that mankind will be restored to the image and likeness of the Most High. The adversary seeks to
be like the Most High so his desire is to see mankind formed into his image and likeness. In the end this may be accomplished by corrupting the book of life which is DNA.

I think this needs time for a prayerfully considered response. You have posted a lot, and people may take what you have said at face value because it is so much, and has a lot of appealing headlines as well as the excitement of revealing the esoteric.
We can trust in His Word to make things clear. We also do not me afraid of mysteries and cults, witchcraft and other mystical things - we don't even have to get all excited about them because we can trust in our Lord and depend on his understanding (Prov 3 vs 5). He knows his sheep by name, and we are safe with Him.

I agree. We are to test things (1John 4:1) and then make a wise choice based upon the guidance of the Most High. It is foolish to take things at face value (Proverbs 18:13).
Indeed, the most important thing is understanding His Word and a relationship with Him. He will deliver us from all evil so we need not fear anything.
My main objective in sharing the study is to warn fellow believers that the devil tries to counterfeit what the Bible says. It is SO important that we rely not on sermons and teachings of men in regards to the Bible because this is how the adversary deceives us. We must go to the Word and allow the Holy Spirit to teach us. If we do this then if we are in error He will guide us out of it. If we rely on men then we will continue in that error.
I debated about sharing the esoteric things because I balked at studying them at first until finally I realized that the Father was guiding me into that direction. All of human history points to the Bible. That includes the false religions. The mystery religions tell the same story as the Bible but in a corrupted way. When one sees that these mysteries are in reality derived from the Bible then one is less likely to be led astray from things like the DaVinci Code. A faithful believer would not fall for such things but the Scriptures speak of the beast wearing out the saints. This is done by a bombardment of deception and persecution. My intent is to give the saints some 'ammo' to fight back against him.

Hi Guy,
You said that,
Quote:I began this study by looking into Revelation 13:16-18 in more detail in the Greek and tracing the Greek back to Hebrew as well as thematic connections found in Scripture.
What I noticed was you said you traced the Greek back to the Hebrew. Guy, the NT was written in Koine Greek, the language of commerce, not Hebrew. There have been Hebrew translations from the Greek, but it was not written in Hebrew to begin with. There are no original Hebrew manuscripts, so to take the Greek back to Hebrew is unnecessary and will lead to error in understanding.
Second, thematics is referring to bible codes which is all based on gematria of the kabbalah. That means it's the occult. It's used to try to find 'the hidden meanings' of Scripture. The kabbalist gematria cannot be applied to the Greek because it was always based on the Hebrew alphabet, and could never be applied to the NT. That's aside from the obvious issues.
You can read a bit about bible codes and thematics and kabbalah and gematria here >
and http://www.seekgod.ca/literalkab.htm
from > Literal Kabbalah: Gematria and Numerology, the web site of Theomatics provides these insights into Bible codes and it's various names. Theomatics suggests that ELS is not gematria.
"Presently, there are two types of Bible codes. One is the ELS evidence (Equi-distant Letter Sequences), also known as "Torah Codes."
The other kind of code is "theomatics." The foundational basis for theomatics has been known for thousands of years, ever since the time before Christ. It is commonly referred to by the term gematria. It was in 1975 that this original code in the Bible ~ known for thousands of years but never deciphered ~ began to reveal itself ..." 61
Isaiah 48:16 "Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning..."
If you do a search on the forum you will find thematics, gematria, kabbalah, bible codes, etc discussed and refuted. There are no hidden things to search after. Our understanding of Scriptures comes from the Holy Spirit.
Deu 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Neh 9:13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
Neh 9:14 And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:
1 Corinthians 2:9-14 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Also, some of what you are suggesting might parallel what I have researched in the Occult Inroads: Symbolism > http://www.seekgod.ca/topicsymbols.htm#inroads
And also Taking the Name, the Mark, & the Number http://www.seekgod.ca/topicsymbols.htm#taking
3John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

By Dr. Theodore Strange
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Now that your body is tuned up from winter hibernation, you're an official runner. Give yourself a hand — or foot!
But while you're out-and-about, make sure you're staying in touch with Mother Nature. Temperatures and conditions can take a big swing this time of year, at any time.
Before you hit the road, check the weather. You'll get a lot of insight about how you're going to approach each training day. Between the weather channel and smart phone apps, there's no excuse to get caught with your pants down.
What do you wear? Well to start, a good rule of thumb is to dress like it is 20 degrees warmer than it really is.
Your body's core-temperature will increase when you start burning calories during your run. So, dress accordingly.
Running on a wet surface is great way to twist an ankle or strain a muscle. If it's raining, consider using a treadmill or make it your rest/walk day.
When you're checking the weather, check the pollen count and what allergens predominate. Nothing will slow you down faster than a "running nose."
After your run, change and wash your clothes; pollutants cling to clothes just as well as dirt.
Use saline drops to rinse pollen from your eyes and gargle with mouthwash to rinse the back of your throat. Sometimes, something as simple as washing your hands and face can make a world of difference in relieving itchy, burning eyes and sneezing.
If you're really suffering, there are a number of over-the-counter (OTC) medications that can ease your symptoms. But just because it's OTC, still means consult your physician.
Your doctor will recommend the best course of action and maybe recommend an allergist. If you have been prescribed medications, start them early and build up your resistance.
Next week, we'll talk about the importance of nutrition and staying hydrated while you work out. We'll also roll out Week 3's training program.
Dr. Theodore Strange is the associate chair of medicine and vice president of medical operations at Staten Island University Hospital South. The hospital is a corporate sponsor and partner with the Advance for the Memorial Day Run. Both organizations encourage Islanders to get in shape and run the race on May 27
Week 2
Walk 5 minutes (warmup), run 2 minutes followed by walking 1 minute. Repeat this run/walk sequence nine more times; finish with a 5-minute walk (cool down).
Walk for 35 minutes at a comfortable yet brisk pace.
Walk 5 minutes (warmup), run 3 minutes followed by walking 1 minute. Repeat this run/walk sequence seven more times; finish with a 5-minute walk (cool down).
Repeat Tuesday's workout.
Repeat Wednesday's workout.
Walk 5 minutes (warmup), run 4 minutes followed by walking 1 minute. Repeat this run/walk sequence six more times; finish with a 5-minute walk (cool down).
Rest or walk 35 minutes (your choice).
Add 5 minutes to your walking time and walk at least 5 days, for a total of 125+ minutes. We're still building a cardio base, so keep the pace steady and comfortable.

Worthy Brown's Daughter (Large Print / Paperback)
Inspired by a true story, New York Times bestselling author Phillip Margolin turns his hand to historical fiction in this masterful saga about justice in the American West.
In the hands of critically acclaimed thriller writer Phillip Margolin, the fates of a recently widowed lawyer and a former slave intertwine in a breathtaking narrative about the extent of evil and the high price of true justice. Over two decades in the writing, Worthy Brown's Daughter is a compelling white-knuckle drama about two broken men risking everything for what they believe. Powerfully evocative of time and place, woven through with rich historical detail, it charts new territory for Margolin but its epic, deeply human scope is still defined by the suspense and energy his fans have come to expect from his books.

A tad too wide for me
"Well, I bought these to go to work. The are wonderful looking shoes and so far quite comfortable. The problem is that they are a bit too wide for my feet and so my feet keep slipping out. The length seems to be fine though. I might try some insoles and see how they work out. If not, I may have to find them a new home. So sad..."

The ERC have announced the longlist for this season's prestigious European Player of the Year award.
Following the conclusion of the pool stages of the Heineken Cup and the Amlin Challenge Cup, the ERC have announced the longlist for this season's prestigious European Player of the Year award.
Selected by a distinguished panel of rugby experts, the longlist for one of the most-prized individual accolades in the game includes 15 players from the 44 clubs competing in the 2012/13 tournaments.
The beginning of the search to select a successor to Leinster's Rob Kearney, who won the ERC European Player of the Year award last season, was based on player performances during the pool stages of the Heineken Cup and the Amlin Challenge Cup.
Wesley Fofana of Clermont, Harlequins full-back Mike Brown, Owen Farrell of Saracens and Ulster's Ruan Pienaar who made last year's longlist, are included again.
The Judging Panel will also have the option to consider additional players who make major contributions during the knockout stages of both tournaments before announcing a five-man shortlist following the semi-finals with the overall winner named directly after the ERC European club finals in Dublin next May.
In addition to the decision of the panel, the 44 clubs in the Heineken Cup and the Amlin Challenge Cup will have the opportunity to vote for contenders nominated on the ERC European Player of the Year 2013 shortlist while supporters can also have their say on Twitter using #ERCPlayer2013, and on the Heineken Cup and Amlin Challenge Cup Facebook pages.
The Judging Panel for this season's award is: Stuart Barnes (Sky Sports), Will Greenwood (Daily Telegraph, World Cup winner and two-time Challenge Cup winner), Stephen Jones (Rugby Correspondent, Sunday Times), Emmanuel Massicard (Editor, Midi Olympique) and Gerry Thornley (Rugby Correspondent, Irish Times).
ERC European Player of the Year 2013 Longlist
(Based on performances in the pool stages)
Steffon Armitage (Toulon)
Rory Best (Ulster)
Julien Bonnaire (Clermont)
Mike Brown (Harlequins)
Dan Cole (Leicester Tigers)
Owen Farrell (Saracens)
Wesley Fofana (Clermont)
Mamuka Gorgodze (Montpellier)
Charlie Hodgson ((Saracens)
James Johnston (Harlequins)
Joe Launchbury (London Wasps)
Morgan Parra (Clermont)
Geoff Parling (Leicester Tigers)
Ruan Pienaar (Ulster)
Simon Zebo (Munster)
ERC European Player of the Year 2013 longlist form guide:
Steffon Armitage: Since his move to Toulon has developed into one of the most feared opensides in the European game. Hugely impressive in the Cote d'Azur club's run to the Heineken Cup quarter-finals and appeared in all six pool matches making four try assists, the joint highest in the tournament.
Rory Best: The heartbeat of Ulster who are looking to go one better than last season in the Heineken Cup. Intelligent, combative and consistent. Quite simply one of the most complete hookers in rugby. Only two other hookers have delivered more successful lineout throws than Best (64) this season.
Julien Bonnaire: Still one of Europe's most outstanding back rows at the age of 34. May be retired from international rugby, but has been brilliant in a series of strong Clermont pool stage performances making 69 tackles this season, only three other men have made more.
Mike Brown: A rock under the high ball and dynamic going forward in all six pool games among the top ten metre makers, Brown has been superb yet again as unbeaten Harlequins target another European title.
Dan Cole: A central cog of the Tigers' powerful forward force in the Pool stage having locked down the number three jersey in a very competitive squad. Completed 29/33 tackles in the Pool campaign.
Owen Farrell: Mature way beyond his years at 21, Farrell has been a key figure yet again this season for Saracens and his magnificent haul of 10 penalties in the vital away Round 5 game against Racing Metro is now a tournament record. Kicked 25 goals in the pool stages and was the second top points scorer (75).
Wesley Fofana: The coming midfield player in world rugby. Blessed with outrageous acceleration, Fofana picks some glorious lines as part of a hugely talented Clermont back division. Four tries in five pool appearances and leading player in the Amlin Opta Index pre Round 6.
Mamuka Gorgodze: Quite literally a massive influence on Montpellier's advance to the last eight of the Heineken Cup this season. Muscular and painfully direct, Gorgodze appeared in five pool matches and contributed 15 points.
Charlie Hodgson: A cerebral playmaker at No 10. A shrewd tactician with an eye for the gap, he has contributed 45 points in the pool stage including two tries and four try assists.
James Johnston: Under Harlequins' expert guidance, the Samoan international has become a top-class tight head. The immovable object in the Pool 3 winners' scrum, Johnston played in five Heineken Cup games this season.
Joe Launchbury: One of the rising stars in Europe, Launchbury's outstanding form for England last autumn has been replicated during London Wasps' progress into the Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-finals.
Morgan Parra: The conductor of Clermont's pitch-perfect orchestra. Calls the shots for his side in the tradition of dominant French No 9s and the leading scorer in the Heineken Cup pool stage with 90 points from six matches.
Geoff Parling: Leicester Tigers have produced a number of half-decent second rows in their history, and Parling now fully deserves a mention among the best. Impressive organiser, strong line-out presence and an ever-present in the Heineken Cup this season. Took 34 lineout catches in the pool stages, more than any other player.
Ruan Pienaar: There are few half-backs in world rugby who appear to have as much time as the talented South African. More effective at scrum-half than No 10, he has been superb in every facet for Ulster. Only four players produced more kicks in play than Pienaar (56) in the pool stage.
Simon Zebo: A coiled spring of exuberant talent. The hugely promising Zebo made his European mark last season with a hat-trick in Round 6 of the Heineken Cup against Northampton Saints and he repeated the feat last weekend to ensure Munster's qualification. Only two other players have score more tries in the Heineken Cup.

CRITICAL STUDIES: A documentary essay film (55 minutes). Written and directed by Mady Schutzman (CalArts)
Dear Comrade documents the story of Llano del Rio (1914-18), the most important non-religious communitarian experiment in western American history. Llano is offered as a site to explore the struggles, courage, frustrations, fantasies, and Sisyphean efforts of innumerable idealists who have assumed comparable struggles in spite of tremendous odds. The story is told through archival footage, surreal re-enactments, interviews with ex-colonists, local residents and historians, and the meanderings of a silent nomad through the ruins of the Llano colony in the Mojave Desert. Through the intersection of stories, a seemingly traditional documentary morphs into a montage of parallel universes, political commentary, clownery, and a palpable desire—failings and disappointments notwithstanding—to give idealism and cooperation another try.
Mady Schutzman (MA Anthropology; Ph.D. Performance Studies) is a writer, editor, and theatre artist. She is a renowned practitioner and scholar of the techniques of social activist and theatre director Augusto Boal, and co-edited two books that critically investigate his work (Routledge 1994 and 2006). She has published essays and performance texts in several journals (including The Drama Review, Women and Performance, Theatre Topics, and the American Communication Journal) as well as in many critical anthologies. Her book The Real Thing: Performance, Hysteria, and Advertising (Wesleyan, 1999) is a feminist analysis of the iconography of the female body in popular advertising. Schutzman teaches at California Institute of the Arts, USC and Pacifica Graduate Institute. Her current research focuses on forms of political resistance that employ the ambiguous and paradoxical tactics of humor, clownery, and jokes.

Back of heel rubs
"These shoes are really cute and comfortable expect the back of the heel rubs my ankle bone. I tried using those heel cushions but they didnt help. When I walked the ankle strap keep going up and down, rubbing my ankle. These would definitely give me blisters. Unfortunately I will be returning them."

In May, my colleague Dimitra DeFotis reported that Falcone would be banned from serving as an investment advisor for two years, pending final approval of a SEC agreement.

The lucky films and nominees get a jump on the coming awards season.
LOS ANGELES — Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook and Argo grabbed a raft of nominations Wednesday from the Screen Actors Guild, giving the films more momentum heading into awards season.
SAG NOMINEES: See the full list
MOVIE FORUM: Join the conversation; Ask the Forum
Steven Spielberg's biopic Lincoln grabbed nominations in several of the top categories, including Daniel Day-Lewis for leading actor, Tommy Lee Jones for supporting actor, Sally Field for supporting actress and the film itself for outstanding cast.
Playbook, the comedy starring Bradley Cooper, also nabbed four nominations, for best cast, best actor (Cooper), best actress (Jennifer Lawrence) and supporting actor (Robert De Niro).
Argo, Ben Affleck's story of the Iranian hostage crisis, earned nominations for supporting actor for Alan Arkin and for outstanding cast.
Among the surprise nominations: Javier Bardem nabbing a supporting-actor nomination as an over-the-top villain in Skyfall. And few analysts expected to see the low-budget comedy The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel make SAG's top five for outstanding cast. In addition to Lincoln, Argo and Hotel, top film nominees are Les Misérables and Silver Linings Playbook.
Misérables represented itself well, earning nominations for Hugh Jackman as leading actor and Anne Hathaway for supporting actress.
Among the snubs: The political true-life story Zero Dark Thirty was shut out of best cast nominations, though it did earn a best-actress nomination for Jessica Chastain. Also shut out entirely: Quentin Tarantino's Djanjo Unchained.
In the television competition, Modern Family took the most nominations with four, followed by 30 Rock, whose final season landed three nominations.
The dramas Downton Abbey and Homeland and the HBO movie Game Change received three nominations.
The ensemble nominees for TV drama were Homeland, Downton Abbey, Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad and Mad Men. TV comedies nominated for best cast were 30 Rock, Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, Glee, Nurse Jackie and The Office.
The SAGs will be presented Jan. 27.

Sponsoring of arts & culture
For Swiss Re, meaningful corporate citizenship has deep and expansive roots. One area these spread into is cultural sponsorship.
Actively supporting renowned cultural institutions and events in the places where we conduct business gives us access to a dynamic relationship-building platform. There we can interact with key stakeholders, from existing and potential business partners, to current and future employees. According to Shakespeare, "All the world is a stage" – the strong partnerships and reputation that have grown out of our many years of cultural sponsoring around our locations, confirm he had a point.
Our image in the spotlight
All of the art, music and theatre activities we get involved in reflect our relentless pursuit of excellence, our partnership philosophy and our continual efforts to add positive impulses to our employees' quality of life. In addition to financial support, we look for opportunities for a mutually beneficial knowledge transfer. In short, the institutions and the productions we support boost our performance in terms of credibility and relationship building in the communities we belong to.
At home in Zurich
Ever since our foundation in Zurich in 1863, being part of the local community where our global headquarters are based has been important to us. Today, this sense of belonging and wanting to give something back is mirrored by our involvement in the region's cultural life. Supporting a range of top-class arts institutions and respected events is visible proof that our commitment to good corporate citizenship is measured in acts and not words. We are keen to contribute to growing the attractiveness of the Zurich area. This both enriches the place itself, and the people who live there, including our employees. Our Zurich-based staff gain benefits such as discounted tickets and guided backstage tours, continually broadening their horizons while strengthening their local roots.
In our ongoing efforts to improve the quality and relevance of our publications, we would like to know more about you.
