Record Update from Mat Kearney
I wanted to drop you a note to let you know what's going on with my upcoming record. This project has been a unique and inspired journey for me as a writer, artist and even a producer. I started writing this record on the road as Young Love was winding down. Every night I would set up a mini studio backstage after soundcheck and explore. I spent a lot of time alone experimenting with different chords, obscure samples and tons of beats allowing myself the freedom to try everything from Paul Simon afro grooves to hard hitting hip hop tracks. I found myself in a place of freedom that reminded me of when I first started writing music.
My family has slowly started migrating to Nashville where I currently live. It has been amazing for me personally, but I found myself writing a lot about Oregon and growing up on the west coast. I guess I was kind of mourning the loss of some of the physical roots that tie me to Oregon. I wrote about the struggle and joys of falling in love and what it takes to walk through that amazing fire. I wrote about losing people and finding the one person in the world that seems to bring it all to life. There is a song for underdogs and a song that references Bel Biv Devo (I listened to a lot of late 80's and 90's music while we were recording).
We have starting mixing and getting everything ready for you to hear. I'm not sure what the release date is just yet, but my team at Republic Records is working hard to nail it down as we speak. It could be sooner than you think
To say I am excited to share it with you would be an understatement. The close friends and artists that I let into my creative bubble have confirmed I am not crazy and this record is in fact special. More to come....
Love, Mat
P.S.!!!!! My wine Verse & Chorus was such a hit at Whole Foods that they asked us to do a white for their wine club. We have a limited 20 cases of our Sauvignon Blanc to sell online so get it while it's hot. (I like it even better than our red. which is saying something) It goes on sale TODAY at 12:00 noon PST and you can order here: www.verseandchoruswine.com 04/24/2014

Brown spots and freckles
Freckles are small flat brown marks arising on the face and other sun exposed areas. They are most often seen in fair skinned people, especially those with red hair, but they are an inherited characteristic that sometimes affects darker skin types as well.
The medical term for this type of freckle is ephilis (plural ephilides). The colour is due to pigment accumulating in the skin cells (keratinocytes).
Skin pigment (melanin) is made by cells called melanocytes. They don't produce much melanin during the winter months, but produce more when exposed to the sun. The melanin is diffused into the surrounding skin cells, called keratinocytes. The colour of ephilides is due to localised accumulation of melanin in keratinocytes.
Ephilides are more prominent in summer but fade considerably or disappear in winter as the keratinocytes are replaced by new cells.
As the person ages this type of freckle generally become less noticeable. Apart from sun protection, no particular treatment is necessary.
Lentigines are due to localised proliferation of melanocytes. The most common type, solar lentigines, arise in middle age and also result from sun damage (age spots). They are most often found on the face and hands, and are larger and more defined than freckles. Lentigines tend to persist for long periods and don't disappear in the winter (though they may fade). The correct term for a single lesion is solar or actinic lentigo.
Lentigines are common in those with fair skin but are also frequently seen in those who tan easily or have naturally dark skin.
It is important to distinguish the harmless solar lentigo from an early malignant melanoma, subtypes lentigo maligna and lentiginous melanoma. If the freckle has arisen recently, is made up of more than one colour or has irregular borders or if you have any doubts, see your dermatologist for advice. It is sometimes difficult to tell a benign lentigo from a melanoma, particular if there are atypical features clinically or pathologically. This is called atypical melanocytic hyperplasia. Such lesions should be completely removed by surgical excision with pathological examination.
Other brown marks
If the brown marks are scaly, they may be actinic keratoses (sun damage) or seborrhoeic keratoses (senile warts). In this case there is a proliferation of keratinocytes. Facial pigmentation may also be due to melasma, a chronic pigmentatary disorder.
Other brown marks
Prevention of brown marks
Not all brown marks can be prevented. Careful sun protection will reduce the number of new solar lentigines. Staying out of the sun and using sun protective clothing is much more effective than sunscreens alone. Sunscreens must have high sun protection factor (SPF 50+), good broad spectrum cover against ultraviolet radiation (UVA), and should be applied liberally and frequently.
Treatment of brown marks
Brown marks may fade with careful sun protection, broad spectrum sunscreen applied daily for 9 months of the year. Regular applications of anti-aging or fading creams may also help. These may contain hydroquinone, or antioxidants such as:
However, brown marks may be removed more rapidly and effectively by chemical peels, cryotherapy or certain pigment lasers that target melanin in the skin. Multiple treatments may be necessary.
Suitable green-light devices include:
- Flashlamp-pulsed tunable dye laser
- Frequency doubled Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (neodynium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet)
- KTP laser
- Krypton laser
- Copper bromide laser
Suitable red light devices include:
- Q-switched Alexandrite laser
- Q-switched Ruby laser
Intense pulsed light has a similar effect. Carbon dioxide and Erbium:YAG lasers vaporise the surface skin thus removing the pigmented lesions. A fractional laser may also be effective.
Results are variable but sometimes very impressive with minimal risk of scarring.
With superficial resurfacing techniques, there is minimal discomfort and no down-time but several treatments are often necessary. Unfortunately the treatment occasionally makes the pigmentation worse. Continued careful sun protection is essential, because the pigmentation is likely to recur next summer.
If there is any doubt whether a brown mark may be a cancer, your doctor may choose to observe the lesion (e.g. with mole mapping or photography) or excise it for pathological examination.

I wish I were a humorist. A group of students at Swarthmore College would be a perfect foil for barbs.
It seems the group is leading a movement of peers to force the managers of college endowment funds to sell off all traditional fossil fuel energy company holdings to fight climate change. Fortunately, Swarthmore has responded with a firm no, but this brainchild has gone viral and administrators in some colleges have actually acquiesced.
That's all we need - enabling students with half-baked ideas.
I don't think many of us are under any illusions that this effort is going to have any impact on our government or private industry any more than the Occupy movement did, but it raises the question about what these kids are learning in the classroom.
Swarthmore is a small school with only 1,500 students, so perhaps the college and others like it do not have a course in common sense. If I am a parent, I am asking what the hell are these kids learning for $43,000 a year? Led by pied piper Bill McKibben, they are playing activist for the sake of activism. He wants to make "owning the stocks of these companies disreputable."
My first argument has already been mentioned in other articles. By limiting the investment options of fiduciaries, this movement is effectively reducing the ability of managers to maximize gains within targeted risk parameters - doing their jobs.
The financial landscape is already littered with poor performing socially responsible investment funds. College endowments are the last places that should be relegated to meager financial performance given the ever increasing tuitions families must bear. Social-purpose capitalism is better managed under the umbrella of nonprofits.
Without economic incentive, even the most well-intentioned projects can be doomed to failure.
Climate change is important. It may be the most important long-term threat facing this planet and the economies that provide a decent standard of living for their citizens. However, our economy is driven in large part on energy production and consumption, and re-creating an infrastructure to support alternative sources is not an overnight project.
We live in a highly complex and testy geopolitical world. If these students were to succeed in some such ill-thought-out scheme, how many thousands of jobs would be lost? What would be the impact on their parents' ability to afford their tuition or to the ability of colleges to provide financial aid?
And when these young men and women emerge from their $50,000 a year educations into deep recession, where would they go to work under their scenario? We are a global economy; we are a massive economy; and any disruption in our backyard has both domestic and international implications.
Instead of students from other schools gathering on the Swarthmore campus to get lathered up over a non-starter, wouldn't it make more sense for a student group to invite companies heavily involved in fossil fuels to campus for frank discussions?
It would be a unique opportunity for students to learn about corporate research into less damaging forms of energy, or in the case of auto companies, new technologies. The students could then take an informed stand. That is what college is all about, isn't it, learning?
I blame the college administrations and faculty. This isn't law or economic theory or philosophy, all of which require a different way of thinking. It is stuff any good instructor should know and be imparting as a matter of course.
Much is written about the need for the U.S. to teach more math and science in K-12 and for colleges not to neglect the humanities while focusing on technology. I couldn't disagree with any of that, but If I were a trustee of one of these colleges that has knuckled under to its students, I would be questioning who I have running the school and what is transpiring in the classroom.
Maybe it is a good time for Rebecca Chopp, president of Swarthmore, and the others to review their faculties to determine what is not being taught in the classroom and how well-prepared these kids will be to contribute to economic growth in this country.
It's just common sense.

Despite the fact that copyright owners asked Google to remove 1.2 million Web pages from its search index last month alone due to alleged infringement, the music industry is still unhappy with its efforts.
In a blog post published Wednesday, RIAA Executive Vice President of Anti-Piracy Brad Buckles accused Google of misleading the public about the scope of its attempts to fight online piracy, and offered a list of "facts" that Google failed to point out in its Transparency Report.
"Even more transparency is needed to fully understand the scope" of online piracy, writes Buckles. A good place to start, he says, would be to publish "the total number of links to infringing material available" as well as "the limitations Google imposes on rights owners to search for infringements reveals how meager the number of notices is relative to the vast amount of infringement."
RIAA cries "limitations"
Google's "limitations" on copyright holders lay at the heart of Buckle's complaints about the search giant's approach to anti-piracy. As Buckles explains, Google uses an "automated tool" to process all the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA) takedown notices it receives from copyright holders. "In order to notify Google of an infringement, you first need to find the infringement," writes Buckles. "But Google places artificial limits on the number of queries that can be made by a copyright owner to identify infringements. These limits significantly decrease the utility of Google's take down tool given the vast nature of the piracy problem today and the number of titles we are trying to protect."
According to Google's count, RIAA member companies — EMI Music North America, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group — serve a median total of about 4,200 DCMA notices each week, with the total number of requests clocking in at just under 440,000. The RIAA ranks fifth in terms of total requests sent, with Microsoft taking the top spot, having requested the takedown of more than 1.2 million URLs.
Google hits back
Google senior copyright attorney Fred von Lohmann denies that Google limits the number of takedown requests a copyright owner may send, but says that the company does have "technical safeguards" in place simply as a way to make sure it does not drown in the mountain of complaints.
"We have never imposed any limit on the number of notices that a copyright owner or reporting organization may send us, although we do have some technical safeguards in our trusted partner program (where submitters may be using automated mechanisms to send large volumes) as a safeguard against accidental flooding of the system," von Lohmann said in a statement released to various media outlets.
Google says that it currently receives an average of 250,000 DCMA notices each week — roughly the total number that it received in all of 2009. Approximately 97 percent of the requests it receive result in a link being removed from its index, the company says. And each removal takes about 11 hours to full process, as Google attempts to make sure each removal request is legitimate before acting.
"We try to catch erroneous or abusive removal requests," wrote von Lohmann in a blog post last week. "For example, we recently rejected two requests from an organization representing a major entertainment company, asking us to remove a search result that linked to a major newspaper's review of a TV show. The requests mistakenly claimed copyright violations of the show, even though there was no infringing content. We've also seen baseless copyright removal requests being used for anticompetitive purposes, or to remove content unfavorable to a particular person or company from our search results."
More RIAA complaints
In addition to takedown request limitations, Buckles complains that Google "also limits the number of links we can ask them to remove per day." He also claims that Google's removals are only cosmetic, since they only account for 0.1 percent of the total number of links for sites that are most often targeted by DCMA takedowns. "For example, Google calculates that infringing links account for only 0.1 percent of links on filestube, a notorious source of infringing links," he writes. "For anyone who knows filestube, this seems unlikely, especially given that Google's data doesn't include DMCA notices sent directly to the site."
In other words, the RIAA would prefer that Google simply wipe entire websites from its search results if they've are regularly accused of hosting a significant number of infringing content. Nevermind that proactive censorship is not Google's responsibility, and would likely result in the censorship perfectly legal content.
Lastly, Buckles is upset that Google continues to index websites regularly accused of copyright infringement, which allows these sites to simply repost the exact content that the RIAA wants removed from the Internet. "If 'take down' does not mean 'keep down,' then Google's limitations merely perpetuate the fraud wrought on copyright owners by those who game the system under the DCMA," writes Buckles.
Needless to say, the RIAA will not be satisfied until it has the power to wipe every piece of allegedly infringing content off the Web. Buckles's blog simply shows that the entertainment industry feels not only that Google isn't doing enough to protect its bottom line, but that the DCMA is an inadequate law for fighting piracy. It is this mindset that led to the creation of bills like the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA). And further shows that Hollywood will not stop pushing such measures until they can slam a hammer on every website that it has a problem with.


text: According to the Contra Costa Times, the Warriors would welcome Lamar Odom with open arms next season, but no one should be holding their breath: "It's a long shot. He would probably have to take less money and turn down a chance to be on a contender. But the Warriors have an eye for Lamar Odom to fill out their starting lineup next season. File it under the would-be-nice list (Not exactly on the what-are-you-smoking list that was once topped by Dwight Howard hopes). The Warriors have four spots in their starting lineup, on paper, set for next season. Stephen Curry is the point guard. Klay Thompson is the shooting guard. David Lee is the power forward and Andrew Bogut is the center. It would take something major for those four not to be starters next season. That leaves the small forward position as the only place in the starting lineup semi-available for upgrading. Lamar Odom would be an upgrade of the current quartet of Dorell Wright, Dominic McGuire, Richard Jefferson and Brandon Rush. Mostly because Odom provides what they don't. Even with this atrocious season he's had, Odom's career averages are 14.6 points on 46.5 percent shooting with 8.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists. The Warriors would loooooooooove that kind of production at small forward. Multiple team sources told me Odom would be a good fit. He's someone on their radar."

Harmful Aquatic Hitchhikers: Mollusks: Zebra Mussel
What do zebra mussels look like?Zebra mussels get their name from the striped pattern of their shells. However, the pattern varies greatly to where there are no stripes, only dark or light colored shells. Zebra mussels can grow to a maximum length of about 50 mm (5-10 mm in the first year) and live four to five years.
Why are zebra mussels considered to be a nuisance?
- Ecological Impacts - Zebra mussels have disrupted the traditional aquatic food chains of many inland lakes. Regardless of their size, inland lakes represent unique ecological systems. When zebra mussels enter into these fragile systems, their voracious filter feeding depletes the availability of microscopic organisms that play a critical part in each lake's ecological food web. As a result, valued sportfish are impacted. Zebra mussels consume considerable amounts of these beneficial microscopic organisms and this creates less food for larval and juvenile fishes that support sport and commercial fisheries.
- Biological Impacts - Zebra mussels are similar to other mussel species because they attach themselves to hard surfaces. However, unlike other species, zebra mussels will readily attach themselves to native mussels. This behavior is known as bio-fouling and with the spread of zebra mussels, native mussel populations have been severely reduced. Some native mussels are more tolerant than others, but even for these resistant species, becoming covered by zebra mussels makes them more vulnerable to environmental stressors, such as extreme water temperatures, lack of food, or parasites and disease. As zebra mussels spread, biologists are concerned that populations of native mussels will decline, and perhaps some of the rarer species may be completely eliminated.
- Economic Impacts - The zebra mussel attaches to hard surfaces located at moderate depths. This affinity for hard surfaces has made water intake structures, like those used for power and municipal water treatment plants, susceptible to colonization. Since 1989, some plants located in areas of extensive zebra mussel colonization have reported significant reductions in pumping capabilities and occasional shutdowns.
- Human Health Impacts – As significant filter feeders, zebra mussels may increase human and wildlife exposure to organic pollutants (PCBs and PAHs). Early research shows that zebra mussels can rapidly accumulate organic pollutants within their tissues to levels more than 300,000 times greater than concentrations in the environment. They also deposit these pollutants in their pseudofeces. These contaminants can be passed up the food chain so that any fish or waterfowl consuming zebra mussels will also accumulate these organic pollutants. Likewise, human consumption of these same fish and waterfowl could result in further risk of exposure.
How do zebra mussels affect recreational users?
- Boaters - Recreation-based industries along Lake Erie have been impacted by zebra mussels. Unprotected docks, breakwalls, boat bottoms, and engine outdrives were rapidly colonized beginning in 1989. Consequently, there were numerous reports of boat engines overheating due to colonies of zebra mussels clogging cooling water inlets and mussels colonizing boat hulls.
- Swimmers - Beaches are also affected by zebra mussels. The sharp-edged mussel shells along swimming beaches can be a hazard to unprotected feet. By autumn of 1989, extensive deposits of zebra mussel shells were on many Lake Erie beaches. The extent of these deposits varied with successive periods of high wave activity.
- SCUBA Divers – One of the things that attract people to dive underwater are the many features such as shipwrecks, various fish species and underwater landscapes. Since zebra mussels attach to hard surfaces, many of the features are at risk of becoming obscured.
Where are zebra mussels currently found?As a native to Russia, zebra mussels were introduced into the Great Lakes in 1985 or 1986, when one or more transoceanic ships discharged ballast water into Lake St. Clair. Being a temperate, freshwater species, the zebra mussels found the plankton-rich Lakes St. Clair and Erie to their liking. Since this time, zebra mussels have spread throughout the Great Lakes, the Ohio River Basin and the Mississippi River Basin. Colonies have been found as far west as Oklahoma and live zebra mussels have been found attached to recreational boats transported to Washington state. As of 1994, the following states had reported records of zebra mussels within their borders or in water bodies adjacent to their borders: Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. More recently, Connecticut has been added to the list of states where zebra mussels have been found.
What is the potential for zebra mussels to spread elsewhere in U.S.?The potential for zebra mussels to spread is very high. In fact, several bills are in front of Congress that focus on preventing the westward spread of zebra mussels. These hitchhikers can spread to other inland waters either in their immature form known as veligers transported in water or as adults attached to boat hulls, engines, aquatic weeds, or other surfaces. Veligers are small-about the size of the period at the end of this sentence-and may be able to survive in any residual water source.
Adult mussels are very hardy and can survive out of water for extended periods depending upon temperature, humidity, wind, and sunlight. Maximum out-of-water survival time in ideal conditions is about 10 days for adults and 3 days for newly-settled juveniles.
Short term benefits of zebra mussels don't override long term impactsOriginally, when zebra mussels entered Lake Erie, the public saw the positive impacts of their filter feeding that cleaned up the lake. Zebra mussels contributed to the improvement of Lake Erie's water clarity. Research shows that in the early '70s, water clarity was approximately 3 feet. It improved to 6 to 10 feet in the 1980s after a decade of reduced phosphorus inputs, and improved again to 10 to 17 feet in the early 1990s, after zebra mussels colonized the area. However, while the water may have better clarity, the negative impacts outweigh this one positive benefit. One result of clearer water is increased vegetative growth, which may not be the best thing for anglers, boaters, swimmers and other aquatic recreation users.
How can I prevent the spread of zebra mussels?
- Remove any visible vegetation from items that were in the water, including the boat, trailer, and all equipment.
- Flush engine cooling system, live wells, and bilge with tap water. If possible, use hot water.
- Do not re-use bait if exposed to infested waters.
- Dry boat and other equipment for at least 48 hours before using in uninfested waters.
- Examine boat exterior for mussels if it has been docked in infested waters; if mussels are found or exterior is heavily fouled by algae, either clean fouled surfaces or leave boat out of the water for at least 5 days before entering uninfested waters.
What else can I do?
- Follow procedures to eliminate the spread of all nuisance species.
- Help inform others.
- Get involved in policy and legislative solutions.

When the 21-year-old Miss Utah Marissa Powell was faced with this question last night during the Miss USA pageant, she responded that it somehow says something about education and the need to make it better because men are leaders. But she did not seem to be sure exactly what.
"I think we can relate this back to education and how we are continuing to try to strive to … figure out how to create jobs right now and that is the biggest problem. Especially the men are um, seen as the leaders of this and so we need to figure out how to create education better so that we can solve this problem," Powell said.
Powell's response, particularly the part about "create education better" immediately went viral on social media for its incoherence.
The multitude of responses on Twitter included The Atlantic Wire classifying her answer the "Worst You've Ever Seen;" Business Insider claiming that "Miss Utah Completely Falls Apart While Answering An Easy Question About Women Earning Less Than Men;" and The New York Post calling it a "painfully awful pageant answer."
Read more about the study on female breadwinners that fueled Miss Utah's question.
Her comments immediately drew comparisons to Caitlin Upton, Miss South Carolina Teen USA in 2007. When Upton was asked why a fifth of Americans cannot locate the United States on a world map, she gave a similarly rambling answer, including an explanation that "some people out there in our nation don't have maps."
According to her profile on the Miss USA website, Powell, a Salt Lake City native, is a singer, model and actress. She has appeared on ABC's "What Would you Do?" and is the ambassador for "Healing Hands for Haiti," which aims to bring rehabilitation medicine to the country. She has attended Westminster College and Brigham Young University. Her profile explains that she wants to be an advocate for adoption. Her parents adopted her little brother, who was subsequently diagnosed with several medical issues, including an inoperable brain tumor. Powell finished third in the contest. Erin Brady, Miss Connecticut, took home the crown.

Iowa Central keeps getting stronger
Iowa Central Community College is an enormous asset to all of north central Iowa.
Not only does it provide affordable educational opportunities, the college also helps make certain that workers with the right technical skills are available to present and future employers.
One of the many measures of a success for a college is enrollment. Students demonstrate high regard for an institution by selecting it for their educational pursuits.
Iowa Central continues to be highly popular with students.
For the fall semester of the current academic year, 6,216 students signed up for classes. That is very nearly the same as was the case for the two previous years, but represents a dramatic increase from a decade ago. In fall 2003, Iowa Central enrolled 5,163 students. That means that during the current year there are 20 percent more students taking classes at Iowa Central than was the case just 10 years back. The college has experienced steady enrollment growth – a trend that seems likely to continue.
Some of Iowa Central's students are high-schoolers taking advantage of the partnership the college has established with local schools that allows college credit to be earned while still in high school. This program affords hundreds of young people the chance to get a head start on college while permitting families to save. The leaders at the college have worked hard to build strong relationships with area school systems.
Distance learning, which includes courses for credit taken online, is also proving a popular option.
Many of Iowa Central's educational programs are of vital importance to area employers. The college has established strong partnerships with business and industry leaders throughout the region.
It's no exaggeration to claim that the continued growth and success of this college is a vital component of the economic development strategy for our region.
Iowa Central is an excellent educational institution. The upbeat enrollment figures show that more and more people have found the college's resources pertinent to their diverse educational needs.
That's good news for the thousands of students who are taking advantage of Iowa Central's many programs. It's also strong evidence that the investment the public has made in Iowa Central is proving wise indeed.

Thanks again to James Tanner of Genealogy's Star blog. He's a deep thinker who can get me (Deason Hunt, your editor ) thinking.
In his latest post on Genealogy's Star
(http://genealogysstar.blogspot.com/2012/11/primary-and-secondary-sources-looking.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FGACzzI+%28Genealogy%27s+Star%29) titled Primary and Secondary Sources — Looking beyond the Census, he makes the following comment about finding records.
"What, you say, actually go somewhere to search for records? How Twentieth Century! Yes, I suppose, since genealogist(s) dwell in the past that we are still retro and searching paper records. But until I find local records being digitized wholesale online, I will still get in my car and drive to the libraries and other repositories."
The thought I had was this: If we are truly non-profit or non-profit-spirited service organizations, shouldn't we be working diligently to get as many of our local records available and online for free searching for those who can't come to our physical collections because of distance, cost, or other inability to travel?
If such a spirit were to become common among local societies, then we would all be busy serving each other. Except for those genealogy businesses who have to turn a profit to stay in business, this is not out of reach. Charging for information and thus keeping it harder to come by is also so Twentieth Century.
Note: The above is a personal opinion of the editor of the Wood County Genealogical Society Bulletin.

Bed Reservation BML Questions - Round 2
NOTE: Questions that were answered in response to previous posts are not duplicated here. Refer to the Q&A's that were posted on July 19, 2010 and August 13, 2010.
1. Is it correct to assume that there is no longer the 5-day "grace" period which was in place for those residents who appeared to be able to return from the hospital to the nursing home within that time?
Yes, that is correct. The 5 day grace period no longer applies.
Can facilities allow more than 10 therapeutic leave days in a 12 month period if the clinical care team determines that it is in the resident's best interest?
If the resident's care plan documents the need for more than 10 therapeutic leave days in a 12-month period, the facility may allow additional visits, but will only be reimbursed for 10 therapeutic leave days per year.
2. With the 5% reduction retroactive to April 1, 2010, will nursing homes be required to make the adjustment for those days already billed and paid, or will the amount be automatically deducted from future payments?
Nursing homes cannot make any "adjustments" for bed hold claims already billed and paid at 100%. The amount will be deducted from future payments. Claims processing will calculate the 95% reduction for bed hold claims. For bed hold claims already processed at 100%, from 4/1/10 forward, claims processing will generate a retro recoupment amount.
3. If a resident returns to the facility as a priority readmission after a bed hold expires, do they qualify for another 14 days of bed hold for temporary hospitalization in the upcoming 12 month period as they would if they went to another facility?
Residents who are hospitalized and readmitted to the same facility based on priority readmission are not eligible for another 14-day bed reservation until the end of the 12-month period. If they are admitted to another facility from the hospital, they are eligible for another 14-day bed reservation in the new facility once residency is established. If the resident is readmitted to the original facility (where they have priority readmission) after establishing residency at a second facility, they are eligible for another 14-day bed reservation period once residency is re-established in the original facility.
4. In order to qualify for bed hold, must the recipient be on Medicaid for one full day or for 30 days?
A recipient must be a resident of a facility for 30 days since the date of initial admission before reimbursement is available for a bed reservation. Days do not have to be consecutive but must be within the facility to be considered a valid period of residency. (Note: Respite days do not apply to residency.) Medicaid must be the primary payor for one of those days.
If a bed is being reserved with private pay funds, can the facility charge the private pay rate or must it charge the Medicaid daily rate?
The facility can charge the private pay rate for privately held beds; however, this rate must be reflected in the resident's admission agreement. This applies to beds held for residents who pay privately (non-Medicaid) or for Medicaid recipients whose stay has exceeded the 14-day bed hold limit.
5. If a resident reaches the 14-day bed hold limit and the bed is not billable, is the resident who is hospitalized or on therapeutic leave excluded from the 95% occupancy rule?
Yes, an unpaid bed counts as a vacancy.
If we discharge a resident because of the bed hold limit and the bed is now vacant, do we include this discharge on the RHCF-4 reporting for length of stay?
The resident is not considered "discharged." The bed is released for purposes of reimbursement, and is considered to be vacant and open for a new admission. The facility should only report actual bed hold days billed on the RHCF-4 cost report.
6. If a resident was hospitalized and on bed hold prior to July 19, 2010 and returned to the facility after July 19, 2010 (i.e., hospital admission from July 15th to August 1st), do the new bed hold rules apply to the resident as of August 1, 2010, thus giving him 14 paid bed hold days from August 1, 2010 to July 31, 2011? Or, does his hospitalization from July 19, 2010 to August 1, 2010 use 13 of the 14 reimbursable days, leaving the resident with one more bed hold day that is reimbursable until July 18, 2011?
In the scenario that is described, the resident used 13 of his 14 bed hold days from July 19, 2010 to July 31, 2010 and would have one more day until July 18, 2011.
7. If a resident has used his/her 14 days and no longer has a bed hold, does the SNF have to hold the bed?
The NH must hold the bed only if the resident or his/her representative chooses to pay privately for the bed; otherwise, it is released for a new admission.
Many of our residents go back and forth to the hospital often, and may lose their bed hold days quickly. Is the nursing home expected to continue to hold the bed for a resident each time they go out on leave?
No, the nursing home is not expected to hold the bed, but residents who have used the 14 day bed hold are eligible for priority readmission pursuant to the existing regulations under 10 NYCRR 415.3(h)(4)(iii). A nursing home shall establish and follow a written policy under which a resident whose hospitalization or therapeutic leave exceeds the bed hold days is readmitted to the facility immediately upon the first availability of a bed in a semi-private room if the resident: (a) requires the services provided by the facility; and (b) is eligible for Medicaid nursing home services.
There are times when a number of residents are in the hospital or on therapeutic leave. With the limitation on the total number of days, is it correct that the census may drop below the 5 percent level as residents lose their bed holds?
This is correct. The daily census is affected when residents lose their bed holds due to hospitalizations and therapeutic leaves that exceed the 14-day and 10-day bed hold periods, respectively.
8. If a resident is a new admission on July 10, 2010, does residency begin on August 10, 2010 or does the 30-day residency period begin on July 19, 2010 with residency established on August 19, 2010?
A resident who is admitted on July 10th will fulfill the residency requirement as of August 8th, which the 30th day of residency.
9. NYCRR Title 18, Section 505.9 (d)(6)(i) requires nursing homes to give verbal and written notification of bed hold status to hospitals. It states that if the hospitalization is expected to be more than 15 days, the facility is to discharge the resident immediately. If less than 15 days, the nursing home may retain the resident on a bed hold. Is this policy and the requirement to notify hospitals now null and void, or has the regulation been amended with different time frames?
Title 18 has not been revised to reflect the new statute at this time. The facility should reserve the bed if the resident is expected to return within 15 days and the resident has available bed hold days. Payment for bed reservation will be limited to 14 days in a 12-month period.
10. The family of one of our residents called the county and was told that extensions could be given to the 14 day period. We have not seen that extensions are available and if they are, do they just apply to one hospitalization or can it be requested if there is another hospital stay. The family was also told that this did not apply to long-term residents but only short-term. Has there been proper communication to the counties on this issue?
The new statute does not permit any extensions and applies to all nursing home residents, both short-term and long-term. Bed holds can apply to more than one hospitalization provided the initial hospitalization did not exceed the 14 day limit. Counties are being notified of the new statute in accordance with current protocol.
11. Discrepancies were noted in regulations cited in paragraph #3 of the August 13, 2010 DAL, question #1 in the attachment to that DAL, and question #7 of the attachment to the July 19, 2010 DAL. The regulation pertains to resident transfer, discharge and readmission rights. Clarification of the regulation citation is requested.
The correct regulation citation in paragraph #3 of the August 13, 2010 DAL is 415.3(h). The correct regulation citation for questions #7 and #1 of the July 19, 2010 and August 13, 2010 DALs, respectively, is 415.3(h)(4)(iv). New regulations are being drafted and will be subject to the SAPA requirements
12. Responses to questions #16, #20, #21 and #22 of the August 13, 2010 address the 95% reduction for bed hold claims. Please clarify.
The responses to these questions should have stated, "the 5% reduction for bed hold claims."
13. According to the DAL dated August 13, 2010, one of the exclusions to the new bed hold reimbursement limitations is residents on hospice.
- What regulations apply in regard to bed hold if a resident on hospice is sent to the hospital?
- Does this apply only to residents in certified hospice beds (i.e. hospice facility)?
- What about a resident in a skilled SNF bed who is receiving hospice services (via contract with the hospice)?
As indicated in 18 NYCRR 505.9(d)(3)(vii), a hospice may receive Medicaid payments for reserved bed days for recipients who reside in an RHCF and are in receipt of hospice services. The 2010 bed reservation statute affects neither these payments nor other regulatory provisions with respect to these recipients.
14. Are unoccupied beds counted in the daily census?
Any bed that has a payor (including both Medicaid reserved and private pay) is included in the daily census. Beds without a payor are considered vacant and should not be counted in the census.
15. Is the 95% Medicaid reimbursement rate for reserved bed days calculated day by day or on the total of the days being billed for that period? How is the 95% calculation done? Is it rounded to nearest cent? Rounded up or rounded down?
The payment is calculated as follows: Base Amount = Sum of (Rate Amount * Number of Days for each rate period)
If the Category of Service = 0286 or 0381, Client age >= 21 years old, and Revenue Code 0183 or 0185 is present on the claim, the Base Amount is reduced by 5%. This reduction is effective April 1, 2010.
The rounding is done in accordance with common accounting practice rounding rules. If the fraction is less than .005 it is dropped, if equal to or greater than .005 it is rounded up to the next cent.
16. What is the responsibility of the facility to administer discharge notices with appeal rights for residents who: Do not meet the criteria for bed hold for hospitalization and do not wish to pay for private bed hold?
Having no bed hold, or an exhausted bed hold, are not acceptable regulatory reasons for discharge. In order to discharge a resident, the resident must fall into one of the categories specified in 10 NYCRR 415.3(h), which addresses Transfer and Discharge rights:
- Transfer or discharge is necessary for the resident's welfare and the resident's needs cannot be met after reasonable attempts at accommodation in the facility;
- Transfer or discharge is appropriate because the resident's health has improved sufficiently so the resident no longer needs the services provided by the facility; or
- The health or safety of individuals in the facility would otherwise be endangered, the risk to others is more than theoretical and all reasonable alternatives to transfer or discharge have been explored and have failed to safely address the problem.
- Transfer and discharge shall also be permissible when the resident has failed, after reasonable and appropriate notice, to pay for (or to have paid under Medicare, Medicaid or third party insurance) a stay at the facility. For a resident who becomes eligible for Medicaid after admission to a facility the facility may charge a resident only allowable charges under Medicaid. Such transfer or discharge shall be permissible only if a charge is not in dispute, no appeal of a denial of benefits is pending, or funds for payment are actually available and the resident refuses to cooperate with the facility in obtaining the funds;
- Transfer or discharge shall also be permissible when the facility discontinues operation and has received approval of its plan of closure from the Commissioner of Health.
Have exhausted their fourteen day or ten day bed hold for hospitalization or therapeutic leave, respectively, and choose not to pay for private bed hold?
If the resident wishes to return to the facility once the temporary hospitalization/therapeutic leave have ended, he/she would be eligible for the next available semi-private bed. The resident would not be considered discharged from the facility until the facility discharges him/her in accordance with 10 NYCRR 415.3(h) (see the previous bullet) or the resident and or designated representative voluntarily elects not to return.
Reside in a facility whose policy it is to discharge residents not on bed hold.
The facility's discharge policy must be compliant with 10 NYCRR 415.3(h) above. A facility shall not discharge a resident solely because there is no bed hold.
17. Does a Medicaid pending resident have any rights to return to the first available bed when their bed hold days are exhausted?
The new bed reservation statute applies only to established Medicaid recipients. A RHCF has the responsibility to offer all residents the next available semi-private bed (priority readmission), regardless of payor source.
18. In cases where a RHCF provider does not receive hospital documentation, will it be sufficient for the RHCF to maintain documentation of the hospital conversations regarding expected date of discharge?
Yes, maintaining this documentation is sufficient.
19. Is there a grace period for notification of transfer and discharge rights and bed hold policy, especially for those individuals that were temporarily hospitalized or on non-hospitalization leave of absence the day the new reserved bed day policy took effect?
In accordance with the new law, there is no grace period. The 12-month period for those Medicaid recipients who had established residency began on 7/19/10.
20. Does a resident that is only admitted for observation count as a hospitalization for the purpose of a bed hold?
All bed reservation requirements need to be met in order for a facility to bill for a reserved bed day. A facility can submit for a bed-hold when the resident is admitted to the hospital for an inpatient-stay.
21. On the website under frequently asked questions, the last question and answer is as follows: "Are there any relevant Dear Administrator Letters (DALs) on the Department's website?"
The answer is yes, and several links are provided. When you click on one of these three links you get an error message. Where else can these documents be found?
These links are functioning properly on the Department's website. These documents can also be found on the Health Commerce System (HCS), formerly known as the HPN.
22. Paragraph three of Dear Administrator Letter (DAL/DRS: 10-08 [dated July 19, 2010]) states that the facility must hold the bed for the resident's return for the entire length of the hospitalization and also if the non-hospital leave of absence is in the plan of care. Does that mean that the bed is held but that the facility is not paid by Medicaid and the resident is still guaranteed a bed at the facility upon return?
For temporary hospitalizations, the facility is not expected to hold the bed the entire length of the hospitalization, but if a resident exhausts their 14-day bed hold, the resident must be given priority readmission. For non-hospital (therapeutic) leaves of absence, if the resident's care plan documents the need for more than 10 days in a 12-month period, the facility may allow additional visits, but will only be reimbursed for 10 therapeutic leave days per year.
23. I work for a hospital in Massachusetts and we have patients with NY Medicaid. If they come to us from a Skilled Nursing Facility how long do you hold the bed, 15 days in a one year period or 15 days each time they come in the hospital? Please clarify for me.
Chapter 109 of the Laws of 2010, enacted on June 8, 2010, changed reserved bed day reimbursement to residential health care facilities (RHCFs) for Medicaid eligible individuals aged twenty-one and older. Effective July 19, 2010, the Department will reimburse a RHCF to reserve the bed for a Medicaid recipient aged twenty-one or over, for 14 days in a 12-month period for temporary hospitalizations.
24. Can someone please clarify the vacancy percentage calculation for a bed hold qualification? For instance, if my SNF has 160 but 20 are vent beds all on one unit then I understand that the vacancy on the vent unit can't be more than 5% of the 20 beds. Is this correct? Also, if this is correct, how do we round? For instance, if my vent beds are 26 then 5% of 26 is 1.30. Does this equal 1 bed or 2 for the vacancy percentage?
This is incorrect. The steps for computing a vacancy rate are as follows:
Only beds occupied by individuals meeting the admission criteria for and admitted to the unit may be counted as occupied toward the census of that unit.
For example, a facility with a 201 bed geriatric unit would:
- Count the total number of unoccupied beds in the unit at the time the census is taken (e.g., 18 beds).
- Subtract from the unoccupied bed count (18 beds) those vacant beds for clients temporarily absent from the facility in the previous 24 hours who have not exhausted their allowable/billable reserved bed days in the current 12 month period. (e.g., 2 beds, thus 18- 2= a subtotal of 16 beds).
- Subtract from this subtotal (16 beds) those vacant beds that are already in bed-hold status from the previous day's census, and that remain eligible for bed-hold status at the time of the current census (e.g., 6 beds, subtotaling 10 beds).
- Divide the number derived from the three steps above (10 beds) by the licensed capacity of that unit (201 beds) to determine the vacancy rate of the unit (.04975 or 4.975%).
25. Please clarify response to question 9 which is part of the Q&A of DAL of 8/13.
If a resident used up the 14 bed hold days and then was discharged to home or to another RHCF, and then was readmitted to the original nursing home within the 12 months, does the 12-month clock restart in the original nursing home? "
"Yes, after the newly readmitted resident has satisfied the residency requirement."
I originally understood that any given facility is allowed a maximum of 14 bed hold hospitalization days a year. The answer provided above indicates that the 12 month clock restarts if resident is readmitted and satisfies the 30 day residency implying that facility may bill for another set of 14 bed hold days. I'm totally confused since this is not a total of 14 days a year. Please clarify.
Residents who are hospitalized and readmitted to the same facility based on priority readmission are not eligible for another 14-day bed reservation until the end of the 12-month period. If they are admitted to another facility from the hospital, they are eligible for another 14-day bed reservation in the new facility once residency is established. If the resident is readmitted to the original facility (where they have priority readmission) after establishing residency at a second facility, they are eligible for another 14-day bed reservation period once residency is re-established in the original facility.

I posted a blog last week about how giffgaff wants to be a positive force for change. One of our core values is that we should be doing things for the collective good. giffgaff has a positive environmental and social stance. While we've be doing some thing's since launch, we could be doing more, my blog last week alluded to this however I didn't mention how we were going to do this.
A while back, we were talking about how it's amazing to read so many comments in the Forum and Facebook from people feeling a sense of freedom once they escaped their restrictive mobile contracts and got on board with giffgaff. When someone mentioned that people locked into contracts were like battery hens stuck in their cages the idea of freeing caged hens seemed a nice thing to do. With a bit of post rationalising it made quite a bit of sense too:
We want to free more people from contracts and let people know that unlocking a phone isn't illegal. We want to do something disruptive, different and help out. We could also free battery hens that are in need of new homes, especially as the EU have banned caged battery hens by 2012, which means a lots of hens need re-homing.
This idea then evolved a bit more: Unlock a phone, Unlock a chicken - for each person that unlocks their phone and joins giffgaff through our Chicken campaign, a battery hen will be re-homed. It combines the message we want to portray with something we believe in.
I went to meet Wood Green, The Animals Charity to talk to them about the process of re-homing, which was an insightful experience. Wood Green care for and re-home over 5,500 animals including the introduction of re-homing ex-battery chickens in 2008. They take in chickens from Battery Farmers who no longer want or need them. They work to rehabilitate the battery chickens, as most have had a bit of a rough time, bringing them back to being happy and healthy chickens. I'll post a separate blog on this later this week but through this campaign we have the opportunity to help 1000's of chickens get re-homed. Wood Green run purely on denotations from the public (so they are on a shoestring, a lot like us) so it's great that we can help out. It's also great to support a UK Animal charity. And Battery chickens can go from this…..
This is a battery chicken, three days after being freed from a Battery Farm to Wood Green.
This is the amazing rehabilitation of a chicken, ready for re-homing a few weeks later!
This is just the first of a number of exciting initiatives that have been designed to do 'something for the common good'. I appreciate there will be loads of opinions about the types of charities that we/individuals could and should support – I'm sure you'll be respectful of everyone's varied opinions, and the hard work that Wood Green largely voluntary staff are trying to achieve.
Just in case people are wondering, no Blackberry's or Data goodybags, were hurt in the forming of this campaign, this is a separate work stream and in no way has been delayed or effected by this idea.
Tonight I'm going to talk to a friend who takes in chickens once they are rehabilitated and need a new home, to find out more about this. In the mean time it would be great to hear how many of you would support us with this campaign so please let us know your thoughts.
While this new initiative is about promoting giffgaff to an audience that hasn't yet heard of us - our existing members can help too by supporting all the new people that come to our community – I'm sure you'll make them feel at home.
This is great. giffgaff making a difference to the world, not just our pockets.
So giffgaff will have pet fish and pet chickens now
Just one thing:
We want to free more people from contacts and let people know that unlocking a phone isn't illegal. We want to do something disruptive, different and help out. We could also free battery hens that are in need of new homes, especially as the EU have banned caged battery hens by 2012, which means a lots of hens need re-homing.
You've put contacts instead of contracts
lol - "no Blackberry's or Data goodybags, where hurt in the forming of this campaign"
This has been educational! My idea of rehabilitating a chicken involves an oven and some sage and onion stuffing!
haha nice one giffgaff! just to say theres a small spelling error here:
"no Blackberry's or Data goodybags, where hurt in the forming of this campaign"
that should be were not where just sayin
Great idea! But when does it start and how do people get involved?
I was going to link to this on facebook before I realised that there was no 'chicken campaign- unlock a phone/chicken' button?!
As soon as it's live I'll be spreading the word!
Keep up the good work!
I'll post it on the River Cottage forums when there's a link. It's the sort of thing Hugh would be interested in.
Yeah great idea get them all nice and healthy for the dinner plate.
So is it going to be a free chicken with every sim activated? There's going to be a lot of chickens needing homes.
I'm 100% in favour of this. (freeing the chickens, not necessarily giving them for sims activated).
Eggsellent (sorry!)
I won't crack any more yolks now (sorry I mean jokes)
Seriously, well done giffgaff, fantastic concept. Love it
