FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Head Coach Tom Hilbert announced a pair of additions to the Colorado State women's volleyball team Wednesday. Crystal Young signed her National Letter of Intent to play with the Rams, while Grace Gordon was added as a walk-on. Both players will have two years of eligibility remaining, and will be available for competition this fall.
"We have two players coming in, both of whom have experience and are good players who can learn under Deedra (Foss)," Hilbert said. "Adding Crystal and Grace makes us a better team."
Young comes to Fort Collins from Blinn College in Brenham, Texas. In two years setting for the Buccaneers, she set a school record for assists and helped her team to the NJCAA national title.
As a freshman, Young played in 29 of her team's 32 matches, averaging 8.38 assists per set and recording 21 aces. Her strong freshman campaign set her up for her sophomore year, in which she was named an NJCAA first-team All-American.
She set a single-season school record with 1,546 assists (10.96) this past fall, and led her team with 31 aces. Blinn College went 39-3 overall, winning the NJCAA national championship. In addition to being an NJCAA first-team All-American, Young was named an AVCA All-America second-team selection and her conference's setter of the year.
"Crystal is a good athlete with good junior college experience under her belt," Hilbert said. "She's won a national championship and has played against Division I competition in the offseason, so she's not as green as some freshmen are."
Prior to college, she was a three-year letterwinner at Clear Brook High School, earning all-district honors each season. She was born in Pasadena, Texas, and raised in Clear Lake.
"When I was looking to transfer, I wanted to find a place that was a good fit," Young said. "I wanted a place where I could play a high level of volleyball and somewhere I knew I'd be taken care of. CSU fits that. I'm really family oriented, and I found that at CSU. Between the coaches and players it's a good environment."
Gordon transfers to CSU after two seasons playing for the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. As a sophomore this past fall, she was captain and named MVP by her teammates. She started 25 matches for the Mountain Lions, averaging 9.57 assists and ranking third on the team with 2.39 digs per set.
In a three-set match vs. Regis on Nov. 1, she recorded a double-double for assists and digs, and added four kills on .571 hitting.
"Grace is the same way," Hilbert said. "She played at the Division II level, but she was a starter for two years at UCCS. In addition to being a setter, she can do a lot of ball handling, which I like."
Raised in Denver, Colo., Gordon is a 2012 graduate of Grandview High School. There, she won three conference, region and district championships, and was the 2011 state runner-up. As a senior she was named all-league, one of several individual honors she earned throughout her career.
Her mom, Jan, was a three-time All-America setter at Pacific, and her younger sister, Claire, will begin her collegiate volleyball career this fall at Metro State. Gordon plans to study human development and family studies at CSU.
"I love Fort Collins, and the atmosphere there," Gordon said. "I'm really excited to play with a great group of girls, and to play in front of Ram Country. It's a great opportunity."
While the Rams have Foss, the 2013 Mountain West Setter of the Year, returning for her senior campaign, Hilbert said he wouldn't rule out using both newcomers in some capacity this season.
Joining Gordon and Young this fall will be Sanja Cizmic, Jasmine Hanna and Alexandra Poletto, who signed their letters of intent in November. The Rams are coming off a record-breaking season, winning their first 27 matches en route to a 28-2 mark and fifth consecutive conference title.

Atrial Fibrillation as a Cause of Stroke and Intracranial Hemorrhage Study (The FibStroke Study)
This trial is active, not recruiting.
|stroke, transient ischemic attacks, intracranial hemorrhage, atrial fibrillation
|University of Turku
|Start date
|October 2013
|End date
|December 2015
|Trial size
|6000 participants
|Trial identifier
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of atrial fibrillation (AF) and its treatment in relation to thromboembolic events (stroke, and transient ischemic attacks) and intracranial hemorrhage.
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Incidence and timing of intracranial complications (stroke,TIA, bleedings) in relation to diagnosis and anticoagulation treatment of AF during the study period; comparison of complications between those with and without anticoagulation treatment according to CHADSVASc score.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- The effect of anticoagulation pauses and INR level on stroke and bleeding risk; strokes within 30 days after anticoagulation pause and the prevalence of stroke and intracranila bleeding in relation to INR level < 2, 2-3 and >3.
- Trauma as a risk factor for intracranial bleeding: percentage and risk factors for intracranial bleeding with or without trauma. Type of preceding trauma and type of intracranial bleeding.
- The time relation between diagnosis of AF and type of intracranial complications: Kaplan Meier analysis of thrombotic (Stroke/TIA) and intracranial bleeding complications after 1st diagnosis of AF in patients with and without anticoagulation
- The risk of stroke and intracranial bleeding in relation to CHADSVASc score, HAS-BLED score and anticoagulation/antithrombotic treatment
- Prognosis of stroke and intracranial bleeding: 30-day mortality after stroke and intracerebral bleeding in patients with and without anticoagulation
- Factors related to underuse of anticoagulation treatment. Data on reasons for not starting or stopping aticoagulation in those with indication of oral anticoagulation
- Operations and procedure as risk factor for stroke: Frequency and type of operations performed < 30 days before stroke. Data on length of perioperative pause in anticoagulation and use of bridging therapy and timiing of stroke are collected.
- Cardioversions as a risk factor for stroke: Frequency of stroke and TIA < 30 days after cardioversion in relation to use of anticoagulation and CHADSVASc score
- The risk of stroke and intracranial bleeding in relation to type of AF (permanent, persistent, paroxysmal) and concomitant carotid disease
Estimated Enrollment: 6000 patients.

Additional Information
|Official title
|Incidence and Clinical Predictors of Stroke and Intracranial Hemorrhage in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation. A Retrospective Multicenter Study
|Principal investigator
|Juhani Airaksinen, Professor
|Approximately 20% of stroke is caused by atrial fibrillation (AF) and 1% of patients with AF suffer from intracranial hemorrhage. Thus, the net benefit of AF management is the key factor in choosing the successful treatment (pharmacological and interventional). In this retrospective Finnish multicenter study the investigators collect data on patients with intracranial thromboembolic events or intracranial hemorrhage and AF during the study period. All such patients ≥18 years of age are identified and relevant clinical details are retrospectively gathered from the hospital records of the participating hospitals into an internet-based CRF. The total study period is from 2003 to 2012. All case records are reviewed using standardized data collection protocol to get information on baseline characteristics and medication of the patients, management of the patients before and during the index complication and during a 30-day follow-up after each complication. Diagnosis of atrial fibrillation is based 12-lead electrocardiography according to the standard criteria. Stroke is documented clinically and confirmed by computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging to be caused by cerebral infarction. Diagnosis of transient ischemic attacks are based on clinical diagnosis by neurologist when stroke is not confirmed by imaging. After completion of manual registration of data, a computer-based cross-checking of strokes is performed from discharge register data of the included patients to ensure the complete coverage of all events. Diagnosis of inctracranial bleedings are based on patient record and classified as subdural, subarachnoidal and intracerebral and possible preceding trauma is registered. Outcome measures are classified by study neurologist when necessary. Antigoagulation treatment, INR levels during the index complication, possible pauses in treatment and their casues are registered togethr with information on antiplatelet treatments.

Maybe I missed it, but I would add a DC to AC converter that has a 12v plug
to run low power items such as a modem/router. That would allow wifi use
in the home of cell phones, tablets, or laptops. When the power was out
after Hurricane Ike in 2008, we used one of these little converters to run
a fan in the house from the car's power port.
By Anthony Browning on Jun 30, 2014
I messaged him I sure hope I can get one
By NeptuneKnives . on Jun 30, 2014
This is kinder garden. I mean it.
You can build this for under 100 usd. charge controller 30usd 5w+5w solar
panels is 10usd. Solar cost under 1USD per WATT
For those who asking below, No this unit can not power your laptop or TV
cause this unit has too low power and will be depleted in an hour when
connected to the inverter with no load connected.
Educational OK, use NO.
By Artjoms Pugacovs on Jun 30, 2014
I really like the setup, but first, any time you charge you cell, tablet or
computer from a 12volt system,
USB device it is a unregulated voltage, battery voltage can run from 12 to
14.5 volts,
ask any one that the worst thing you can do is charge your cell from a car
please do not use a inverter that is not a pure sine inverter to run a
computer or tablet, or even a cell phone!!

By Juan Roberto Kobyłecki on Jun 30, 2014
what a smart guy this wranglerguy is…..oh..wait?!?He is taking credit
once again for how "easy" and "quick" and "cheap" an invention (that he
knows NOTHING ABOUT) that is actually very practical, and economical, even
without an emergency use. it would be COMPLETELY DIFFERENT if you could
manage to even SOUND like you MIGHT know what your talking about but
clearly using bigger that normal words for you, and not ALSO how
inconsiderate it is for the other people who ACTUALLY came up with these
inventions. you even go on to say…." if you wanna know more than email
DOESNT KNOW SHIT BUT WANTS TO TAKE CREDIT FOR EVERYTING. especialy ANNOYING
when describing "how the batterys work" are pretty far away from correct.
not to mention how you also like to underestimate the price of these
projects your taking credit for. 100$ wood stove that goes from 150 to a
couple hundred before your even done explaining it! i think its cool that
your going out there and showing the world the necessity for being self
reliant, but where i come from….people who take other peoples ideas, down
play the skill level and amount of know how needed as well as just flat out
make stuff up as your going, it seems like. that is what we call a FRAUD
and pretty bad one at that.

iPads use a 10W charger, which is why the power block you'd normally plug
into the wall is slightly bigger than, say, the iPhone charging block.
You can charge an iPad with less than 10W but it will take a LOT longer
than normal.

I have one question, why do you only recruit one editor? if i knew that i
would not have gone for this rc, but Shakes deserverd the place, im just
wanna know why dont you guys recruit more editors? I think thats is kinda
stupid to only recruit one editor, from like 100+? editing entrys because
then the odds that an editor would have win the rc is very small. but
congrats to the who won the rc.

recruited him, was we thought he was a good fit, He hit decent and
consistent clips, He was also constantly speaking to us through social
media/skype asking for ways to improve, I Told him to try the DSR and many
other things and that is exactly what he did, this showed how-much he
wanted to join, and I just personally thought he deserved it, Don't get mad

Of the very most recognizable dangerous weapons on the planet are samurai swords. Despite their more recent reputation from films as well as other kinds of enjoyment these swords happen to be an iconic image of Japan for ages.
One of the most famous of samurai swords may be the Katana, which is really a lengthy, curved blade simply bladed on a single side. These swords were employed to carry out shock attacks around the enemy and were formulated sometime in the 10th-century. These swords would be worn by the fighters with all the bladed side-facing upwards on the strip.
Samurai swords are generally created from a Western aluminum generally known as Tamahagane. By incorporating two different steels; a difficult outer steel that's twisted around a comfortable, inner steel, the edge is made. This produces a blade using a tricky BladesPro, razor sharp edge for cutting plus a core that's ready to absorb bumps, lowering the chance that the knife fold or will crack.
After the edge is manufactured they are then decorated. Not each one is decorated in a location where it could be seen, although most knives are decorated. The report marks are very important on samurai swords, that are tattoos which can be cut onto a bit of the knife that's meant to be lined up later. This can be completed to assess the steel's aging.
There are numerous firms that produce replica samurai swords which are for sale for show only. You will find these vendors online, at flea markets and in many journals. So that you can make them extremely appealing to the attention these swords usually are made with a great deal of design on them.
Two common samurai swords would be the Wakizashi, that was a smaller sword, as well as the Tanto. Those two swords were simply allowed to be transported in a pair by the samurai warriors and no one else.
After World War II, the USA had banned any samurai swords' output. This is only to become quickly overturned, but only under the situation that held and they were to be produced for value only.
You are ready nevertheless able to locate them within the United States, because so many of the American soldiers were secretly offered authentic samurai swords. It's considered that at the same time it appeared that there were Japanese samurai swords in the United States than in Japan. Most of the samurai swords that you will find today are not and for exhibit just to become employed for any type of combat.
However, aren't getting your hopes up, if you'd like to really get your hands on an authentic samurai sword. There is rumor, however, that you can find builders in Japan who still make these swords as weapons; you merely need to know where you can look and who to ask.

Mandya, April 5: A 19-year old girl from Mandya was brutally killed and hanged from a tree. Named Monica, the girl is suspected to be a victim of honor killing. Belonging to a Gowda community, the girl had reportedly eloped with a Dalit boy.
The girl had eloped with her boyfriend and had married him last month. Her father and uncles traced her and brought her back. They convinced her how the marriage was a bad idea for the family name.
When she rejected their ideas, the three hatched a plan to kill her. Superintendent of police Sudheerkumar Reddy said that the father and the maternal uncles have been detained and they have admitted to murdering her. They hung her from the tree to make it look like a suicide.
Police said that the family had cremated her on their farmland in Timmana Hosur village in Mandya Taluk on early Sunday, which gave rise to suspicion. When the police reached the spot, the body was completely burnt.
"We repeatedly interrogated the family members separately for hours and there were many inconsistencies in their statements. After a while, Monica's father and her uncles admitted of their involvement in the crime," said the police.

Shaven Lyrics
Artist: Funker Vogt
Album: eXecution Tracks
Shaven cunts fuck much more horny
I know this for quite a while
so the juices run in torments
and not only bloody sperm
So fuck until the cunts are steaming
a shaven cleft on wet skin
let us play some kinky games
to incease our horny passion
I'm the great pubedresser
I cut pubes like a master
always dressed in black leather
I want to lick your naked skin
Pearls of sweat drop from her body
building up a lake of lust
with each stroke she starts to shiver
and her screams are getting louder

UPDATE 1-Chevron Calif. refinery repairs seen taking 1-3 months-sources
* Refinery's fuel production at least 50 pct capacity -trade
(Recasts, adds details, quotes)
By Brian Love
PARIS Dec 19 France's government sought on Tuesday to reassure the public about safety during year-end festivities after a suspected militant attack on a Christmas market in Berlin, saying security forces were working round the clock to prevent such violence.
French Interior Minister Bruno Le Roux met his German counterpart in Berlin hours before a truck mowed into crowds at a Christmas market there on Monday evening, killing 12 and injuring dozens more in what police say was a suspected terrorist attack. ]
The Berlin incident revived memories of the attack last July 14 in which a man drove a large truck into crowds of people celebrating the Bastille Day national holiday in the French Riviera city of Nice, killing 86.
Le Roux urged people to go out and party despite security fears, saying everything was being done to ensure protection, notably at hundreds of outdoor markets that draw millions of people into the streets at Christmas.
"Police and intelligence are on the job 24 hours a day. Protection is guaranteed. I want people to go out and enjoy themselves," he told Europe 1 radio.
He headed to Strasbourg in northeastern France to one of Europe's oldest Christmas markets, a sprawl of festive food, gift stalls and lights that draws about two million people ahead of Dec. 25, one of the main dates on the Christian calendar.
There are hundreds of similar markets across France, as in other European countries such as neighbouring Germany.
"We're not going to give in to blackmail and terrorism," said Strasbourg Mayor Roland Ries. "That would be tantamount to handing victory to them and their propaganda battle against the West."
Large barriers had been erected to prevent vehicles entering the market zone in the ancient centre of Strasbourg, much of which is surrounded by canals and bridges, with security checks on people entering, Ries said.
More than 230 people have been killed in Islamist attacks over the last two years in France, including 130 in Paris by suicide bombers and gunmen in November 2015 - an assault for which the Islamic State militant group claimed responsibility.
Deployments of soldiers and police to sensitive sites such as airports and railways was boosted to 10,000 in the wake of the 2015 attacks, but later pared back to 7,000. Le Roux said the other 3,000 were on standby for year-end operations.
(Additional reporting by John Irish and Marine Pennetier)
* Refinery's fuel production at least 50 pct capacity -trade
Aug 9 Canada's Bombardier Inc reported a 14 percent fall in second-quarter profit on lower revenue in its train division as it completed some contracts in Asia-Pacific and Europe, and major orders were still in the startup phase.

Out of Suffering and into What Has Already Been Allowed
How can we bring an effortless yes to this moment? How do we stop running from "the mess of life"—our predicaments, our frustrations, even our search for liberation—and start flowing with all of it?
In small venues throughout the UK and Europe, a young teacher named Jeff Foster is quietly awakening a new generation of spiritual inquirers to the experience of abiding presence and peace in our ever-shifting world. His informal gatherings, blogs, and "kitchen-table video posts" have created a rising tide of interest in his teachings.
With The Deepest Acceptance, Jeff Foster invites us to discover the ocean of who we are: An awareness that has already allowed every wave of emotion and experience to arrive.
While Jeff delightfully admits the irony of an audio program to convey something that is beyond words to teach, here he confirms his ability to guide us in unexpected new ways to a space of absolute acceptance and joy, no matter what's happening in our lives.
Those who enjoy spoken-word teachings will find this original audio edition of Jeff Foster's book especially engaging. Here, he guides us in the spirit of his spontaneous talks and dialogs, into the direct experience of deepest acceptance.
Candid, thoughtful, humorous—and deeply compassionate toward those searching for a way out of suffering—this refreshing new luminary inspires us to stop trying to "do" acceptance … and start falling in love with "what has already been allowed."
"Wise, spacious, and loving. Teachings that can free the heart." (Jack Kornfield, author of A Lamp in the Darkness and A Path With Heart)
"There is a transmission in this book: an alive, compassionate presence that invites awakening right here, this very moment, no matter what is going on in our lives." (Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical Acceptance and True Refuge)
"A beautifully written guide to the fearlessness and simplicity of living fully immersed in each moment of our lives. The Deepest Acceptance rings with the power and authenticity of Jeff Foster's deeply felt, deeply lived wisdom. His affirmation of life and compassion for the full range of human experience is a much needed contribution." (Judith Blackstone, PhD, author of Belonging Here and The Intimate Life)

So sorry to be negative....
The book was so expensive. He seems like a kind and gentle soul, but he repeats the same stuff over and over again and his voice starts to really push down, rather than lift up. I am so determined to overcome some issues that have been plaguing me and I believe mindfulness and meditation are the best paths forward. For that reason I was determined to hang in there. But I could only get about halfway through and had to stop. I couldn't listen to it for another minute. I really did not find this audio book to be helpful.
I'm open to many new ideas. I love Pema Chodron, and will probably listen to all of her stuff.
Please see first comment above.
Again, see above.
I wish him only the best, but this audio book was expensive, and I felt the review of it was necessary for future potential consumers.

SEB Tops Estimates, Warns Capital Rules May Hurt GrowthNiklas Magnusson
SEB AB, Europe's third-best capitalized major bank, reported second-quarter profit that beat estimates on higher fee and commission income and warned that Sweden's stricter capital regulation may hamper growth.
Net income advanced to 4.17 billion kronor ($614 million) from 3.79 billion kronor a year earlier, the Stockholm-based bank said in a statement today. That beat the average 4 billion-krona estimate of 12 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. SEB's common equity Tier 1 ratio rose to 16 percent at the end of June compared with 15.7 percent at the end of March.
SEB and peers Nordea Bank AB, Svenska Handelsbanken AB and Swedbank AB are subjected to some of the world's strictest capital rules. That has helped the lenders become the best capitalized major banks in Europe. SEB today warned that those rules may hurt growth and banks' ability to support the economic recovery in Sweden.
"We need to be profitable with a robust financial position so that we are not forced to pull back on lending in times of more subdued economic development," SEB's Chief Executive Officer Annika Falkengren said. "That would amplify cyclicality. Over the long term, the absence of a level playing field for the Swedish banking system in comparison to its European peers risks having a negative effect on real growth."
Reviewing Targets
SEB said today that it targets a dividend that is 40 percent or more of earnings per share, a common equity Tier 1 ratio under Basel III rules of 13 percent and a return on equity "that is competitive with peers." In the longer-term, the bank aims for a return on equity of 15 percent, it said. The bank will review its financial targets once all new capital rules are in place, Falkengren said at a press conference today.
Net fee and commission income rose to 4.21 billion kronor in the second quarter from 3.81 billion kronor a year earlier, beating the 3.86 billion-krona estimate. Net interest income advanced to 4.94 billion kronor from 4.68 billion kronor, in line with estimates.
SEB shares rose as much as 1.8 percent to 91.25 kronor in Stockholm trading, and advanced 0.4 percent to 90 kronor as of 9:44 a.m. local time. Trading volume was at 26 percent of the daily average in the past three months.

White House: Hospitals Seeing Major Uncompensated Care Reductions
In states that have expanded Medicaid, the White House said last week, hospitals are seeing substantial reductions in "uncompensated care" as more patients have Medicaid coverage and fewer are uninsured. The Administration said the data should persuade more states to expand Medicaid. HHS projects that hospitals will save $5.7 billion in uncompensated care costs this year. Hospitals in states that have expanded Medicaid are projected to save up to $4.2 billion of the total amount. Click here for the NY Times story. Click here for the HHS announcement. Click here for a detailed analysis that includes info from for-profit hospital systems that publicly report their data.
Capitated Medicare ACO Demo Bill Introduced
Legislation was introduced last week to test capitated Medicare ACOs in a demonstration that eventually could be ramped up nationally. The pay structure of the ACOs would resemble HMOs, but patients would be allowed to visit providers out of network as they are in ACOs. The ACO Improvement Act (H.R. 5558) would give ACOs tools to keep patients in network, without requiring patients to remain in network. Click here to see the bill. Click here for a summary.
Number of Pioneer ACOs Drops by 4 to 19
4 more Pioneer ACOs — Genesys PHO in Flint, MI; Franciscan Alliance in Indiana; Renaissance Health Network in Pennsylvania and Sharp HealthCare in San Diego (announced last month) — have decided to leave this Medicare demonstration program, according to announcements last week. This leaves 19 of the original 33 in the Pioneer program. Click here for the Wall Street Journal report.
HHS Report: Medicaid Patients Having Hard Time Finding Doctor
A report to be issued this week by the inspector general at HHS, says state standards for access to care vary widely and are rarely enforced. As a result, it says, Medicaid patients often find that they must wait for months or travel long distances to see a doctor. Click here for the New York Times report.
Survey: Most Physicians "Over Extended or At Full Capacity"
81 percent of physicians describe themselves as either over-extended or at full capacity, while only 19 percent indicate they have time to see more patients, according to a new survey from Merritt Hawkins. Forty-four percent of physicians surveyed plan to take steps that would reduce patient access to their services, including cutting back on patients seen, retiring, working part-time, closing their practice to new patients or seeking non-clinical jobs, leading to the potential loss of tens of thousands of FTEs. Click here for their survey.
Report: Following Care Guidelines Reduces Costs
Hospitals are cutting costs by getting doctors to stick to established guidelines, according to a report last week in the Wall Street Journal. Click here.
Some Drug Companies Getting Around 340B
It remains unclear how, or even whether, HRSA intends to move forward with its much heralded 340B regulatory framework proposal (which has yet to be released for review.) Some say HRSA is unsure about moving forward with a regulatory plan because it knows it will likely face a legal challenge, no matter what it proposes. Meanwhile, drug companies are taking new actions that will limit their 340B "exposure." Click here for this report on Genentech's move to specialty distributors that will impede the 340B discount to providers.
Telemedicine Groups Push Technology Solutions in Congress
Medicare only paid $12 million for telemedicine services last year. Not a lot, considering the vast investment that has been made to develop these services over the past several years. So, a group of 13 telemedicine advocates wrote the House Energy and Commerce Committee last week to offer their collective suggestions on how the committee should help technology. The organizations said Congress should allow greater use of telemedicine by accountable care organizations, federally qualified health centers and critical access hospitals. Click here for their detailed letter.
Narrow Network Debate Heats Up
The development of narrow networks that limit which providers can participate in certain health insurance programs continues to be hotly debated across the country. A South Dakota ballot initiative would create a new "any willing provider" law that would require the inclusion of a provider in any network when the provider meets their standards. Other states are looking at creating similar laws or strengthening their current any-willing-provider statutes. Click here for the report. Another report out last week from Robert Wood Johnson says there hasn't been too much complaining from consumers about narrow networks. Click here.
Lawsuits Filed in Narrow Network Cases
More pushback against narrow networks continued in the form of legal action as a consumer group filed lawsuits against Cigna and Blue Shield of California last week. Consumer Watchdog alleged that Cigna and Blue Shield of California misled consumers with a "bait and switch" scheme. Their plans offered inadequate provider networks and incorrectly advertised which providers were in network, and when consumers learned that their doctors weren't covered in the plans, it was too late to switch insurers. Click here for a summary and the two lawsuits.
More Insurers to Participate on Federal Exchanges
The 36 states on the federal marketplace are expected to see an increase from 191 insurers participating in the 2014 enrollment period to 248 in 2015, while the eight state-run exchanges will see the number of insurers increase from 61 to 67, according to the report from HHS. Click here for that report.
Medicaid, CHIP Enrollment Increasing
More than 7.9 million people enrolled in Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program between Oct. 1 and July 31, increasing total enrollment in the programs by an estimated 13.6%, according to a report released last week by CMS. Click here to see a state-by-state breakdown (starts on page 9).
FDA Campaign to Crackdown on Fake Drugs
Federal prosecutors have recently uncovered rogue companies distributing foreign versions of Botox, fake cancer drugs and other unapproved or contaminated medicines in the U.S. Often those operations will entice physicians by faxing "too good to be true" flyers that offer 75 percent or more off pricey injectable drugs. The FDA is fighting back with a campaign starting this week. Click here for the story. Click here for the FDA announcement.
Survey: Docs Say Distrust of Payers Is Impediment to Value-Based Relationships
41 percent of primary care physicians, who are not currently in a value-based relationship, say their biggest obstacle before agreeing to enter into one is their distrust of payers – this is according to a study released last week. The study also found that only 16 percent of all physicians surveyed were willing to accept the financial risk – a key element of many value-based relationships sought by insurers. Click here for the FTI Consulting survey summary.
Interest Payments Is Focus of RAC Appeals Deal
As hospitals across the United States evaluate the recent CMS offer of an administrative agreement to resolve their pending RAC appeals in exchange for partial payment of 68 percent of the net payable amount, new attention is being focused on interest — specifically, "935 interest." Click here for the report.
How Hospitals Are Coping with Payment Changes
U.S. New had a report last week about how hospitals are coping with the overall reduction in the growth of Medicare spending – which has also translated to slower reimbursement growth from all payors. The summary – innovate or don't survive. Click here. Meanwhile, Bloomberg reports on how hospitals are trying to get patients to pay more up front for the services they receive. Click here.
$212 Million Awarded for Health Initiatives
The CDC last week awarded $212 million in grants to state and local government and other organizations for programs to reduce obesity, tobacco use and death and disability due to diabetes, heart disease and stroke. The 193 grants are funded in part by the Affordable Care Act. Click here to see who received funding, including a number of hospitals.
$22 Million Awarded to Rural Health Efforts
HRSA last week awarded $22.1 million in rural health grants, including $16 million to help rural health networks coordinate, expand and improve essential services; $2.3 million to support tele-emergency care; $1.5 million for the Radiation Exposure Screening and Education Program; $1 million to improve access to automated external defibrillators; and $600,000 for resource centers to help health care providers implement telehealth programs.

New Breast Cancer Drug Showing Unprecedented Success in Prolonging Life
A drug used to treat advanced breast cancer has had what appears to be unprecedented success in prolonging lives in a clinical trial, researchers reported yesterday. Patients who received the drug (Perjeta, from the Swiss drug maker Roche) had a median survival time nearly 16 months longer than those in the control group. The lead author is with MedStar Washington Hospital Center in D.C. Click here for the story.
Pharma Companies May Lose Most in "Inversion" Efforts
It appears that pharmaceutical companies may be the big losers in the Obama Administration's efforts to stop the practice of 'inversion', where companies try to avoid paying U.S. taxes by moving their headquarters outside the United States. Click here for the report.
Employer and Insurer Based Wellness Programs Questioned
Are employer and insurer-based wellness programs effective? Many may be doomed to fail based on a recent survey finding that most consumers don't trust their insurers or employers as a source of health and wellness. Based on more than 1,000 consumers participating in a survey from health optimization company Welltok, just 8 percent rely on their health insurers as a source of health and wellness. And just 10 percent rely on employers. Click here for a summary. Here for the survey.
CMS Conference Call Scheduled on HCAHPS Rating System
CMS is sponsoring a conference call on its planned star rating system for survey data from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems. Click here for more information and to register for the call, which is Wednesday, October 8 from 1:30-3 p.m. EDT. CMS expects to begin reporting HCAHPS star ratings on Hospital Compare next April. Hospitals can preview how their data would appear in the star rating system, and provide feedback to CMS on how to improve the system, at the QualityNet portal through October 14.
House Democrats Want Funding for End of Life Planning
34 House Democrats last week asked CMS to change Medicare rules to allow providers to be reimbursed for helping patients with end-of-life care and planning, which is the policy that led former Alaska Governor and GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin to coin the phrase "death panel" during the Obamacare debate. Click here for their letter and to see who signed on.
PACE Pushed by Senators
The PACE program is getting a U.S. Senate push. More than a dozen senators from both parties are calling on the Obama administration to broaden a Medicaid program for the nation's frailest seniors, calling it a proven alternative to pricier nursing home care as states seek to limit long-term medical costs. In a letter released last week, the senators urged CMS to follow through on plans to loosen restrictions on the Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly. Click here for the letter.
Dying at Home May Be Harder Than You Think
Many geriatric experts say that if the wasteful medical spending on end of life could be redirected, it could pay for all the social supports and services actually needed by today's fragile elders and their families. Instead, public money appears to benefit health care businesses but not necessarily patients. An example is the abuse of short-term rehabilitation in nursing homes, improper charges costing more than $1.5 billion a year, federal HHS inspectors reported in 2012.

Wearable Health Monitoring Devices Driving Changes
Mobile applications and wearable monitoring devices will get people more involved in their own health and change how care is delivered in the U.S., according to a report from the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics. Mobile health technology could encourage wellness and ensure treatments are appropriate, saving $81 billion in health care costs, the report says. Improved delivery and payment models could save a further $200 billion each year in avoidable costs. This is 1 of 10 "harbingers of change" identified in their report. Click here for more.
Respiratory Illness Spreads to 40 States
An outbreak of respiratory illness first observed in the Midwest has spread to 40 states, sending children to hospitals and baffling scientists trying to understand its virulent resurgence, according to the CDC. As of Friday, the CDC had confirmed 277 cases of infection with enterovirus 68. But it is likely that many times that number have been stricken. One case involved an adult, and no deaths have been linked to the infection. Click here for more from the CDC.

Best Movie Soundtracks -1990s
Starring Gwyneth Paltrow, this film may have had an American playing one of Jane Austen's most iconic characters, but the score was all down to a Brit - Rachel Portman. Expressive and playful, Portman's score captured the sweetness and mischievous of the main character as she charmingly, if frustratingly, meddles in her small group of acquaintances. Portman caught the feel and wit of romantic period music and the personality of Austen with oboes and clarinets taking the melodies and violins and cellos creating the light-hearted atmosphere.

2002 Mazda Protege5 looses power when lights turned on
I have a 2002 Mazda protege5. I've had this issue for almost a year now. sometimes the car will drag to crank like the battery is dead, but then cranks. sometimes it cranks perfectly fine. When I slow down (like for a stop sign or red light) the power drains (lights go dim, etc.). Sometimes when i'm driving and turn on the lights, the car will die .. even if I'm going 70 .. the battery light comes on, all power drains, but if I quickly turn the lights off it is fine. I've replaced the battery, the alternator .. and it does fine for a few months and then .. bam problem is back. help

Check all battery connections. Make sure all are clean and tight. Also check your negative connections from battery to frame and motor. Where they connect at frame and motor remove and clean area real well to in sure it is making a good connection. You will probably find your problem at one of these two locations. Hope this helps.
Yeah it does sound like a connection problem. The light-weight connectors at the battery terminals go to crap pretty fast. Take apart and clean and inspect all of the connections like dandyoun suggests. Wouldn't hurt to put the battery on a low amperage charger for the night too.
We put a heavy duty brass connector on the negative side and it doesn't drain anymore. BUT .. now when I go to crank it, it acts like its out of gas ?? fuel filter? fuel pump? fuel regulator? I am beginning to hate this car.
Still have this issue .... see this thread http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-c2687_ds563454

Nice rugs
By Boo Boo

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about BrylaneHome 2-Pc. Cotton Bath Rug Set with Crochet Trim:
I enjoy these bath mats. When washing them for the first time, I was astounded by the amount of shedding in the dryer, but it didn't seem to affect their look. I noticed a few threads that popped up, but I just clip them.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very nice
By Cindy
from Wildomar, CA
These are better quality than I thought they would be and I love the color. The larger of the two I have in front of my sliding door coming in off the balcony to catch the dirt when coming back in instead of it going on the carpet. Very happy with this purchase.

Lovely Lavender

Just what I was looking for
By Mamasan
from South Mississippi
I bought for my bath. You would need to be careful since there is no backing. I wanted a rug without that latex backing so I could just throw it in the wash with other things. This will be extremely durable without that backing that just flakes off after washing.
Pretty rug set, pale color
By dizzygeam
from Evansvile, IN
This is a nice, soft, matching set of bathroom rugs. The small one fits "just right" in my small tub and commode area and the larger one fits on the opposite side of the pocket door, in the vanity area. It was recommended using a pad beneath them and they might need that to prevent slipping and bunching up. I am going to try them without it. I have slightly textured ceramic tile flooring in the bathroom.I like that they are reversible but was a little disappointed that the lavender color was paler than it looked in the catalog. They are pale blue lavender, looking almost grey in daylight.I have recently seen them in other catalogs in a darker grape like tone of blue lavender, but they did cost a few dollars more than these.I am "okay" with these but they get 4 stars.

Items OK
By Maggie's Mess
from Miami, FL
About Me Best Item For The Price, Practical
I wash items before I use them. They came through the wash and drier fine. I knew that I would have to use a no skid backing but that is fine as the one's that come with them dissolve too quickly on my tile floors. This way I can wash the rug as much as I want to and not get the shredded backing in the washing machine. The rugs were a little smaller that I expected but that was my fault for not paying attention to the sizes in the catalog.

Very pretty, but they slide on the floor
By chris the bargain hunter
from Seymour, TN
I love the rugs, they are very pretty and durable which is nice. The only problem that I have is that they are not slip resistant. so they slide on the bathroom floor.
Too bad they arn't available in larger sizes
By Nan
from Phoenix
About Me Practical, Stylish
I just love these rugs. If they came in larger sizes I would have them throughout my home. They wash and dry beautifully. The trim really adds a very pretty touch and I like that they don't have foam backing.
Great quality & very absorbent!
