About Victor Emmanuel Chapman
Victor Chapman (April 17, 1890 in New York – June 24, 1916 near Douaumont) was a French-American pilot remembered for his exploits during World War I. He was the first American pilot to die in the war.
Growing up
Chapman was the son of American essayist John Jay Chapman. His mother, Minna Timmins, died in 1898, when he was eight. He and his father moved to France soon after. In France, Chapman obtained dual-citizen status as a French and US citizen.
His father re-married, to Elizabeth Chanler, an Astor heiress, when Chapman was a teenager. Chapman returned to the United States in his late teens to attend Harvard University. After graduating, Chapman returned to Europe, spending time in France and in Germany. During this period, he became interested in architecture, becoming an expert in the field.
Fighting in the war
When World War I broke out, his father and stepmother moved to London, England. However, Chapman decided to stay in France, joining the French Foreign Legion on August 30, 1914, and served in the 3rd March regiment of the Legion. He became friendly with four men during his days on the trenches: a Polish fighter who was known only as "Kohl", and Americans Alan Seeger, Henry Fansworth, and David King. The trio of Americans watched as Kohl was killed by a bullet while walking with his friends.
After Kohl's death, Chapman and two other friends, (Norman Prince and Elliot Cowdin), were given an opportunity to fly in a fighter airplane. Chapman requested transfer to the Aéronautique Militaire, the army's air arm. He attended flight school and was certified as a pilot.
Chapman flew many missions for the 1st Aviation Group and was commissioned a sergeant. He was chosen as one of the founding members of N.124, the Escadrille Americane, also known as the Lafayette Escadrille. On June 17, 1916, he was flying over the Verdun sector when he was attacked by four German airplanes. During the engagement, Chapman suffered a head wound, most likely from an attack by then four-victory German flier Walter Höhndorf. Chapman landed his airplane safely, with Höhndorf getting his fifth victory as a result. While recovering Chapman found out that his friend, Clyde Balsley had been wounded in a separate incident. Prior to his last flight Chapman put loaded oranges onto his aircraft, intending to take these to Balsley who was in hospital recuperating from his wounds. Chapman was attacked north of Douaumont by German flying ace Leutnant Kurt Wintgens, a close friend of Höhndorf. With Wintgens flying a Halberstadt D.II that day against Chapman's Nieuport 16, Wintgen soon gained the upper hand. Chapman was killed when his airplane crashed.
Awards and medals
Chapman earned many medals and commendations during his military career. Chapman was interested in the arts and in writing. He often found inspiration to write while he was in the middle of battles, and many of the letters he sent to his father were written in these circumstances. A book of these letters, called Letters from France, was published after his death. In his memory, the composer Charles Martin Loeffler, a friend of Chapman's father, composed his quartet Music for Four Stringed Instruments.

FIGHTING BACK Only Guns Can Stop Terrorists It's harder to victimize armed citizens. BY JOHN R. LOTT JR. Friday, September 28, 2001 12:01 a.m. President Bush yesterday unveiled a plan to tighten airline security, ranging from employing the National Guard at airports to place more marshals on flights. Those are important steps, but they won't be enough, especially since no one knows where the terrorists will strike next. The only adequate response is to encourage more ordinary, responsible citizens to carry guns, as Israel has done. Screening at airports, while important, will always be inadequate; terrorists will always figure some way to circumvent the controls-- for instance, by bribing airport employees. Strengthening cockpit doors is probably a good idea, but given current airline design it may create dangerous differences in air pressure between the cockpit and cabin. In any case, the door must be opened sometime, to allow pilots to go to the bathroom or get food. The marshals program is more promising. Empirical research by Bill Landes at the University of Chicago found that between a third and a half of the drop in airplane hijackings during the 1970s could be attributed to the introduction of armed U.S. marshals on planes and an increased ability to catch and punish hijackers. But to put just one marshal aboard every daily flight in the U.S. would require at least 35,000 officers--far more than currently work for the FBI, Secret Service and U.S. marshals combined (17,000). And one marshal might not be enough to foil a whole gang of hijackers, of the kind used by Osama bin Laden. Clearly it will take a long time to deploy enough marshals. There are things we can do in the meantime. There are about 600,000 active state and local law enforcement officers in the U.S. today. They are currently forbidden from bringing their guns on airplanes. That should change. They should even be given discount fares if they fly with their guns. Most pilots have also had military experience. The request of their union to arm pilots should be granted; this is what El Al has done for a long time. Fears of having guns on planes are misplaced. The special, high- velocity handgun ammunition used on planes packs quite a wallop but is designed not to penetrate the aluminum skin of the plane. Even with regular bullets, the worst-case outcome would simply be to force the plane to fly at a lower altitude, where the air pressure is higher.
(cont) The use of guns to stop terrorists shouldn't be limited to airplanes. We should encourage off-duty police, and responsible citizens, to carry guns in most public places. Cops can't be everywhere. In Israel, about 10% of Jewish adults have permits to carry concealed handguns. To reach Israel's rate of permit holding, Americans would have to increase the number of permits from 3.5 million to almost 21 million. Thirty-three states currently have "right-to-carry" laws, which allow the law-abiding to obtain a permit if they are above a certain age and pay a fee. Half of these states require some training. We should encourage more states to pass such law, and possibly even subsidize firearms training. States that pass concealed handgun laws experience drops in violent crimes, especially in multiple victim shootings--the type of attack most associated with terrorism. Bill Landes and I found that deaths and injuries from multiple-victim public shootings fell by 80% after states passed right-to-carry laws. Passing right-to-carry laws might even deter terrorist attacks. True, some terrorists are suicidal, but they still want to cause maximum carnage. They know the "return" on their terrorism would rapidly diminish to the vanishing point if faced with gun-wielding "victims."

Downtown fire code checks coming soon
This photo from 2010 shows the demolition on St. Paul St. of buildings that once housed Liberty Bicycle and Out of the Past after they were destroyed by fire. Standard file photo from 2010.
Every downtown St. Catharines building is about to be inspected by the fire department and owners are being given the heads up.
The new inspection initiative will begin April 4 with fire prevention officers beginning visits to all downtown properties from offices to bars.
They'll book appointments with owners rather than do surprise checks.
"We didn't want them to be blindsided," said Fire Chief Dave Wood, adding the fire department has been working with the St. Catharines Downtown Association and letters have been dropped off at businesses.
"We didn't want to arbitrarily come in on a Tuesday and say, 'We're here. Oh by the way, you have 15 non-compliance issues. We have to put orders against your property."
Wood said the department wants to make sure there's an educational component to the initiative.
That means giving property owners time to make fixes they haven't got around to, like changing a self-closure for a door that isn't working properly or an exit sign that's burned out.
"We want to give them some lead time to say, we're coming in and we want to work with you."
Fire officials are holding a public information session for affected property and business owners about the upcoming initiative on March 22.
Wood said it's been at least 10 years since the department did a full inspection of the core, considered high risk because of the number of older buildings, and it's overdue.
With a fire prevention office back up at full complement in April after some staff shortages, they figured the time was now.
They'll be focusing on areas between Church Street to the north, Niagara Street to the east and the old canal valley to the south and west.
"What we want to do is go into each of the businesses and make sure they are fire code complaint, make sure it's safe, and more importantly, make sure the tenants above the restaurants are safe," he said.
That includes checking that fire separations are in place and alarm systems and sprinklers are in proper order.
Wood said fire prevention staff will work with owners on timeframes for fixes, knowing that sometimes it depends on contractor availability and external pressures.
Some changes will be expensive.
The risk of a fire, though, can cost a business and its neighbours even more money.
"When we do have fires in these businesses, there is a financial impact on the community," he said, adding it's a revenue loss for the business with the fire but may affect adjacent buildings too.
The downtown has experienced fires in the past at the old Russell Hotel, Dorado Lanes and Liberty Bikes that Wood said left gaps in the core.
The public information session is on Tuesday is at 6 p.m. at Russell Avenue Community Centre at 108 Russell Ave. There will be a brief presentation at 6:30 p.m. and officials from the fire department and economic development will be on hand to answer questions.

When Randall Stephenson took over as CEO in 2007, AT&T Inc. was at a turning point.
Stephenson's predecessor Ed Whitacre, at the helm of then SBC Communications, had gone on a successful buying spree that included the takeover of Pacific Telesis, Southern New England Telecommunications Corp., Ameritech, Comcast Cellular, AT&T Corp. and BellSouth. By 1996, Cingular Wireless, a joint venture of SBC and BellSouth, was also folded into the company now christened AT&T. "It was all with the intention of getting as big as we could on the wireless side as soon as possible," recalls Whitacre, who handpicked Stephenson to succeed him and retired in June 2007, just 26 days before the iPhone went on sale in the U.S. "You had a sense inside of you of this having the possibility of being big, the technology serving a large number of people. It wasn't just about a device."
Until it was about the device, namely the iPhone. For Stephenson, a longtime SBC Communications executive working to integrate the disparate corporate cultures into the new AT&T and compete with rival Verizon Wireless, the deal with Apple was a singular opportunity to rebrand Ma Bell both externally and internally. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment to change how the public views AT&T as a wireless company, and to change internally how we view AT&T, a wireless company," Stephenson remembers telling his team.
It's been six years since Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone and named AT&T the exclusive service provider for his cool new smartphone (an exclusive that ended last year). For Apple, the move into smartphones was the next step in its shift to consumer-electronics juggernaut from maker of Macintosh computers. Jobs, in fact, announced the name change from Apple Computer Inc. to Apple Inc. when he unveiled the iPhone and AT&T's distribution deal on Jan. 9, 2007.
For AT&T's Stephenson, the iPhone was the device that remade the carrier from plain old telephone service company to next-generation wireless provider. In the process, a company known for moving at glacial speed and for being closed off to outsiders took on the attributes of a modern technology innovator, like Apple itself. And it also set the tone for Stephenson's leadership.
"When Randall came in and said 'We're a wireless company' that sent shockwaves through some employees," says AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega, who helped broker the iPhone deal at a time when most of AT&T's sales were from its wireline or traditional phone business. "When you put that mandate with the iPhone and the transformation – I thought it was pivotal to helping AT&T pivot to being a wireless company. And it started with Randall and him giving us the go ahead to do the iPhone…the rest is history."
Stephenson sat down with me in November in his office atop Whitacre Towers, AT&T's corporate headquarters in Dallas, for an hour-long interview for a Forbes magazine story. We talked about the iPhone, how Apple's devices helped transform AT&T's corporate culture, his frustration with Washington regulators after his bid for T-Mobile was quashed and his mantra to "mobilize everything." Here are edited excerpts from our conversation.
Q: Let's talk about the wireless revolution that AT&T has been a part of under your tenure.
We've seen bigger revolutions – electricity, combustion engines. But not one that has gone as fast as this one has gone or been as transformative as this one has been.
I knew we had reached critical mass on this when Ed Whitacre, my predecessor, sent me a text message that said "How r u?" He didn't even use email when he was CEO. (Whitacre tells me he did use email at home. 'I was not totally literate but I was not illiterate either.' As an aside, he also says one of his favorite iPhone apps today is a game called Ants Smasher.)
Q: Where does the AT&T wireless story begin? For a lot of people, it starts with the iPhone.
If you kind of reflect back, we were set on this course hard in the mid-90s. Whitacre had kind of the first vision of wireless and the benefits of wireless.
In 1996, Whitacre brought me back from Mexico and one of my first responsibilities was -- I was working for the CFO -- to put together a long-range view of the world, where was our industry going. Keep in mind we were just on the throws of doing the PacTel deal. We were just starting this big consolidation, right, to buy PacTel. Everybody said you bought PacTel, then you bought Ameritech and you bought SNET. We were just beginning that process. We said you're going to have to have scale in this industry.
I was asked to put together this long range view of where is this industry is going. And we tend to be wireline centric around here. That was kind of our mindset, right... But to take this on, I wanted to find somebody outside the industry who would come in and help me frame this view of where the world was going. So I brought this guy in who used to run Braxton Consulting…He came in and we put together this view of the world. And it was a view of the world that said your wireline business is about to be dramatically cannibalized by wireless. And wireline business meant voice at that time. There was no such thing as wireless data. This was 1996.
We had these forecasts as to how much of that utilization was going to be basically migrating to wireless. There was a bit of a denial at that time. I reflect on it and it's really almost comedic -- that there's no way you could have that much volume shift to wireless and so. But that was the first time I stepped back and said I think this is where this industry is going.
And what's really comical about it is this individual that I brought over to do that work in 1996 is John Donovan (who joined AT&T as CTO in 2008 and now serves as SVP of AT&T Technology and Network Operations.)
Q: So how close were you?
You look back about 2006, 2007 when I was assuming responsibility, that view we put together in 1996 was a 10-year view. Obviously it wasn't dead on, but directionally it was really close to where this thing happened. Very close. In fact I would say more of the traffic shifted to wireless than even we anticipated over that 10-year time horizon.
Now you come forward to 2006-2007, and the world of data was exploding. And we were really just at a point where the only thing that was moving to wireless in the data world was email, your Blackberry. Right? The data world was shifting to wireless, but it was really…it wasn't a ton. But the world of email was becoming a wireless world. So in 2006, Cingular – we were all talking about we have to build this data capability.
I think we all believed it was going to be important. I don't think we had an appreciation for just how important it could become. Till 2007 when we launched the iPhone.

That can be one of the saved files, if you need it. For me, just saving the arch/xxx/conf/XXXX file is sufficient, I can always just build a new kernel. | I also have | custom stuffs in /, and not all important files in / are in /var/backup | (or you have to copy the whole /etc). Sure, you just add those to the list of saved files. You customise, you do a bit more customising... | Why ? I can restore from tape elsewhere and copy over NFS. Speed is one reason. Lots of things are possible, but doing an install (esp from a fast CD) and copying a few files back into root beats anything I've seen - esp as anything that reconstructs root needs half the install done anyway (newfs, probably labelling, ...) | Then you know what you're doing. I use fetchmail/procmail, and all my mail | ends in $HOME. For fetchmail it depends how you run it, so people prefer it to just get the mail from the server, and dump it into the local MTA (sendmail/postfix/ ...) which will then by default put it in /var/mail For procmail, sure, generally mail goes in $HOME, but where do you think procmail saves the mail when $HOME is full? | Depends on what you're using dhcpd for. Anyway it's not on all machines. yes, exactly. The point is that it would be a very poor idea for NetBSD to start giving people the impression thatdumps of /var are a not needed. There's too much that might be depending upon them. And explicitly moving stuff out so that dumps might not be needed for person X gives that impression. | Sure, in this case I don't matter much about the dhcpd lease file :) I do - most of the systems that are dhcp clients are other places. I can get a new box installed, put a dhcp server on it, and connect it to the net (somewhere) in an hour if needed (well within dhcp lease timeouts). | If a server is reinstalled from backups I would't expect at jobs to be | restored. I would. Have you never run the perennial at job - the one that scheduelles itself to be run again.... Lots of people grew up with that before there were presonal crontabs, and are now used to it... | However I agree that crontabs should not be in /var as well You're not agreeing with me, as I think they're fine there. | I don't find that /var/db/pkg fit in this sheme very well anyway. | It's not the same as the other stuffs in /var/db (Hum, there's libc.tags | here too, should be somewhere in /usr IMHO). Somewhere? Where. In general, anything that the system creates, and wants to keep, should be in /var. /usr is for what comes off the distribution is a better model (with /usr/pkg for packages, and /usr/local for scribbling in...) | On most systems I don't care about what's in /var where I care about / or | /usr (and this is the case for most workstations or developement machines). For me it is just the opposite, /var (with its copies of what is in /) is the definition of the system, it and any user files that might happen to exist are all that really matters, the rest is all distribution stuff. I only rarely backup /usr - nothing there changes. I "make package" when I build from kgsrc, and save the packages, so they're easy to replace, aside from that, and /usr/local (which is a mount point...) /usr is just what came from the distribution, no changes at all. kre

The news reports of the Israel-Gaza conflict aren't pretty. Step back from geopolitics for a moment and think about the human element at play. People on both sides of the line are living in fear day to day. A mortar or missile could land on their home at any time.
Reading the reports of the violence immediately made me think of Psalms 122:6 Psalms 122:6Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you.
American King James Version×. "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem." David's simple statement holds even more meaning now than when he wrote it. Take some time out of your day and follow David's example. Get on your knees and pray to God for the peace of Jerusalem.
You won't just be praying for a city. You'll be praying for every Israeli and Palestinian man, woman and child who has to face another day of fear. You'll be praying for their safety and for their emotional wellbeing. For those people at risk right now, a prayer for Jerusalem equals a prayer for a normal life today and into the future.
Even more important than peace today is that you'll be praying for the ultimate peace to come. It can be hard to see past today's suffering, but Jerusalem has a bright future that starts when Jesus Christ returns. "I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, the Mountain of the Lord of hosts, the Holy Mountain" (Zechariah 8:3 Zechariah 8:3Thus said the LORD; I am returned to Zion, and will dwell in the middle of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
American King James Version×). Even Israel's current enemies will share in this peace. "In that day Egypt and Assyria will be connected by a highway. The Egyptians and Assyrians will move freely between their lands, and they will both worship God. And Israel will be their ally. The three will be together, and Israel will be a blessing to them. For the Lord of Heaven's Armies will say, 'Blessed be Egypt, my people. Blessed be Assyria, the land I have made. Blessed be Israel, my special possession!'" (Isaiah 19:23-25 Isaiah 19:23-25 23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. 24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the middle of the land: 25 Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.
American King James Version×, New Living Translation).
Praying for peace in Jerusalem is a lot more important than just stopping today's fighting. A prayer for Jerusalem's peace equals a prayer for world peace and God's Kingdom of Peace on earth.

Interview with Yoke's Managing Director Mehdi
We caught up with our Managing Director and Mentor Mehdi Qerim to chat about the expansion of Yoke, our collaboration with Golden Eye Media and where he sees Yoke heading.
Why did you first decide to open Yoke in the heart of Collingwood?
"I've been working in Collingwood for over ten years now, both with Yoke and other business ventures, but when I first arrived, it was a totally different area. Collingwood hadn't fully evolved; it was a little tougher, a little rougher and had far less options by way of dining and bars. It was an inner-city suburb yet to be gentrified, it was very working class. But it was also conveniently close to the city, had great architecture and was full of potential. To be honest, Collingwood has formed around me, coming to emerge as an amazing place to be. People south of the Yarra are now taking the time to come here and really explore Collingwood's restaurants and bars and galleries. Also, most significantly, we have become a bit of a design centre, with several other agencies popping up and contributing to the creative community."
What is your vision for Yoke?
"I think the best way to answer that is to make use of a boxing analogy. I have always liked to envisage Yoke as a full-service creative agency able to box outside of its weight division. I love the idea of Yoke being able to box up or down a weight class and still hold its own, on its own merit. As a mid-weight agency, we should be nimble, responsive and humble, capable of spotting the opportunity in both the big and little markets. We offer everything from branding services to graphic design services, web development, social media, video, campaign management, media buying and copywriting. I think, ultimately, I want Yoke to be known for delivering great, all-round creativity, for making its mark as a fresh, young and creative talent."
Yoke has just moved offices – was there a specific reason for moving?
"We made the move for several reasons. One being that for a long time, Yoke's potential was unrealised. Sure, we had great staff and great clients, but I felt we didn't have the space or the time to really foster that potential. For me, this new and beautiful building is a physical realisation of unlocking that possibility and beginning to grow. The move is also a statement of belief. Personally, this move says I believe in Yoke, I believe in the market and I believe in Yoke's people. And it is just a great working environment, one that feeds a great culture. I believe this is incredibly important, and so this new site, in a way, is a thank you to everyone who has supported Yoke, especially to our staff who are calling it their second home."
Golden Eye Media are moving into Yoke HQ. What kind of relationship will this be and what does it mean for Yoke?
"Golden Eye Media is a boutique video production house – to match the professional video footage, they also create beautiful editorial content for high-end and high-profile brands. We've found the relationship between Yoke and GEM to be completely synergistic, we are very aligned in our business, practice and staffing values. We believe this relationship will be very creatively collaborative… but there is more to come on that front. I might have to keep you posted."
Where do you see Yoke in the short-term (five years) and in the long-term (10 years and after)?
"In five years, I very much hope we have justified our new expansion and have really turned this building into a thriving headquarters. I'd love for us to be producing work we are proud of and for it to be taking us in the direction of the Sydney and South East Asian markets."
"In ten years? Well, I'll be in my fifties, so who really wants to think that far forward? But in reality, I hope Yoke's put up their sails and are really starting to fly. Again, I hope we have expanded into the fantastic Sydney and SE Asian markets, and beyond. Finally, I would hope that all our staff can look back on their time and view Yoke as a valuable part of their lives, and that the Yoke vision truly meant a lot."

Many link builders always have their plan of attack in building links. Many talk about building great content and marketing it. Others talk about experiments that helped them put their strategies into test. Some devised plans to go with Google updates – panda and penguin. Heard this, that, been there, done that.
I saw this twit from Nikko Marasigan
And I have come up with an idea to acquire easy win links by helping other people get their rich snippet authorship markup.
I used this one on acquiring a PR4 link from one Filipino freelance web designer / developer. He is actually my classmate during college days in Adamson U.
First thing that you need to do is to identify blogs that doesn't have rich snippet authorship markup.
Scouting Link Prospects
TIP: Start on your circle, start with your fellow SEO's and bloggers and identify if they have rich snippet implemented on their blogs. It's easier to connect with people that you know and know you "you don't need to become a stranger" Plus it's not that hard to get a link or two when you are able to help them. Else collect list of topic specific, or list of blogs and go through it one by one.
Link Prospect Master Sheet
Grab the list and paste it on your excel sheet. For example, I grabbed the number 2 result list and saved it on an excel sheet.
I collected the name of the blogger, email and the URL where I find his or her blog listed. I also saved the URL that I used tested on the Rich Snippet Testing Tool for reference.
Connect To Your Target
Write an email to the blog author, be real. Introduce yourself, how you find his or her blog, how you noticed that he or she is not using authorship markup. Talk about the value of authorship markup on a brief way; assume that not all bloggers can understand your language so you can explain it on a way that they wouldn't think that it's just a waste of time.
Via chat (This is a chat conversation on Facebook with Sherwin, my college friend)
Me: Hello, I notice that you are not using rich snippet on your website
Target: What is that?
Me: Have you notice picture of authors in Google Result Pages (http://bit.ly/M27IjW)
Target: I've been seeing that, but never had time to configure it
Me: Want me to help you configure it? I can help you on that
Target: Really? How much do I pay you?
Me: It's free! Just give me an admin login on your website so I can fix it.
Target: Okay Just a sec
Me: Ok.cool
::::After the fixes::::
Target: Hey Jayson, I can see the rich snippet now, lovely! Thank you, I have added you on my blogroll. Appreciate your help!
NOTE: It's easier to connect with people who are in your circle. A facebook or skype chat might do the trick
Via Email
Hello (Target Name),
How are you? I'm Jayson Bagio from SEOteky.com, an SEO consultant from Manila. I notice that your blog is missing one good factor that I believe can help you drive more traffic and clicks – Rich Snippet, or the so called Google Authorship Markup. Many blogs are using this one because it helps improve clicks on your Google Snippet. (Show a screenshot of your blogs rich snippet)
If you want to, I can help you get the authorship markup on your blog.
Sweet isn't it?
The critical part: Asking for an admin level login of the website. Of course not all people can trust you that quick. So this is why you want to establish your own name first and convince them that you have good intentions. This is also the reason why I start it from my circle first before going out and fishin.
The Fixes – Implementing Rich Snippet
Things to remember: Backup everything before making any changes, usually this task involves changes in header.php, functions.php, single-post.php for wordpress. If you can master the installation of Rich Snippet on blogs and website, then you can do this on 5 to 10 minutes only.
- How I Configure Google Rich Snippet On My WordPress Blog
- Google Authorship Markup on WordPress by Yoast
- Google Authorship Markup on Thesis from DIY Themes
- WordPress Plugin for Google MicroData - great find by Mark of WebbyThoughts
After Fixing It & Getting the Result
Don't ask for a link. Remember relationship is far better than a link, if you done this the right way then this blogger or website owner will definitely talk about how you help him or her on having authorship markup fixed on his website. Will blog about you and might even give you a blogroll link.
That's it!

That was a very humble act from you Jayson. I have had notice that I haven't have that snippet with my blog and I think I should start including it with mine.
Arwin Adriano recently posted..Get The Most Out of Twitter During Event Conferences
Hi Jayson, this is my first comment on your site. I saw this post via twitter and I was really interested on implementing the authorship on my blog as well.
While testing my blog the author page returns successful but some pages are not. Any thoughts about it sir?
Regie Bueno recently posted..Fairy Tail Movie: Priestess of the Phoenix
Hi Jayson,
I think this is a great idea. Helping someone get authorship on their blog is a great way to build a relationship. I think with most people, even online acquaintances, would be hesitant to give admin access to their blog. However, authorship is now easy enough to implement that I think simply walking them through the process via email would be sufficient enough to help them get the job done.
A simple act of kindness like this goes a long way to starting a relationship.

hi jayson, any SEO recommendations for http://tagalogonlinepocketbook.com ?
i know, putting a some sort of splash is not a good idea but nonetheless, im ready for the bashing, hehe
Dude, that's not 5 minutes. The title is misleading.
Thanks for this article SEOteky. Although it would take me a little longer than 5 minute, I think it is a great technique and I am very interested in giving it a try.
Hey Jayson, thanks for sharing this one!
Actually, I asked Nikko to teach me how… LOL!
Sadly, I don't use WordPress SEO by Yoast because of a little issue I have (like my title was repeated twice).
I wonder if I can still implement this one without having to use WP SEO by Yoast. I hope there's some workaround for this.
Tristan @ Virtual SEO Assistant recently posted..Glasses for Freelancers from Firmoo
Yes a very good tactic, very kind to share
Google authorship going to be a big help to those with the time and or talent for writing…
Good Tactic! First time to hear this. thanks for the share!

Mark Belanger
Biographical Information
Belanger was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He was recruited by the Orioles as an amateur in 1962, and made his debut with the club on August 7, 1965. He took over as the Orioles' regular shortstop in late 1967, and held the position for over a decade.
Nicknamed "The Blade" because of his height of 6 ft 1 in (1.55 m) and weight of only 170 lb (77 kg), Belanger was known as a poor hitter. In his eighteen seasons in the major leagues, Belanger hit only 20 home runs, and had a lifetime batting average of .228, only topping the .230 mark over a full season three times; his .228 average is the third lowest of any major league player with over 5000 career at bats, ahead of only George McBride (.218) and Ed Brinkman (.224), and the seventh lowest of any non-catcher with at least 2500 at bats since 1920. His true contribution to the team was on defense, where he earned a reputation as one of the best fielding shortstops ever. Receiving the AL Gold Glove eight times (1969, 1971, 1973-78), he was also named to the All-Star team in 1976. Belanger joined a select group of shortstop-second baseman combinations who each won Gold Gloves in the same season while playing together: in 1969 and 1971 with Davey Johnson, and again with Bobby Grich each year between 1973 and 1976 inclusive. And with Brooks Robinson winning at third base every year through 1975, the left side of the Orioles' infield was seemingly impenetrable.
He hit a rare home run in the first American League Championship Series game ever played in 1969, and after uncharacteristically hitting .333 in the 1970 ALCS, his contributions led to the Orioles' 1970 World Series victory, the team's second title in five years; he caught a line drive to end a 4-3 victory in Game 1 with the tying run on first base, and had an assist to end Game 3. Playing in six ALCS, he set league playoff records for career games, putouts, assists, total chances and double plays by a shortstop, all of which were broken between 1998 and 2002 by Omar Vizquel and Derek Jeter.
Belanger was known for his intelligence and his gentlemanly demeanor on and off the field. Playing between star players such as Robinson and Johnson, he was a favorite of many Baltimore fans, and came to symbolize the Orioles of the 1970s as a group of selfless, determined overachievers whose talents as a team were greater than their sum as individuals.
He was granted free agency in 1981, perhaps in response to his public criticism of manager Earl Weaver, and signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the 1982 season, after which he retired. His successor at the position for the Orioles in 1982 was Ripken. The Orioles' union representative for several years, and one of the four players who led negotiations during the 1981 strike, after his retirement as an active player he was employed by the MLBPA as a liaison to its membership.
Belanger contracted lung cancer in the late 1990s - perhaps because of his habit of smoking cigarettes - and died in New York City at the age of 54.

In my last morceau I mentioned punishment, one of the consequences of sin. There is an inherent obligation for the wrongdoer to be punished for the evil he or she has done. We can wish it weren't so, I guess, but that doesn't change the fact that it is so!
The Catechism of the Catholic Church points out that a "Christian must strive to accept this punishment … as a grace" (art. 1473). By voluntary prayer, personal works of penance, sacrifice, and charity, and constant interior conversion we can decrease whatever obligation we have to experience involuntary punishment.
This is the origin of the Church's doctrine on purgatory. When we die, God's merciful love for us requires that we yet be given yet one final opportunity to be purified, to at last be rid of all the obligations which our sinful lives have brought upon us. That opportunity is traditionally called purgatory, although Blessed Pope John Paul II and most contemporary believers prefer to describe it in less torturous imagery than was popular in the Middle Ages. As you can probably tell from the way I've introduced the subject, I also avoid emphasizing purgatory as "horror" and instead stress its more fundamental meaning as "opportunity." (You won't catch me describing the dead still being purified as "poor souls," for they are really "saved souls" in the process of entering heavenly glory!)
One wonderful aspect of all this is the mystical bonds of unity which connect all believers, living and dead – the famous "communion of saints" – allows us all to assist each other in this process of purification. At the Catechism points out, by "this wonderful exchange, the holiness of one profits others, well beyond the harm that the sin of one could cause others" (art. 1475). So my prayers not only do me some good (I hope!) they also benefit you and the departed for whom I pray. This is the origin of the good ol' Catholic phrase of "offering it up" for someone else: spiritual benefits really do assist others to become holier and purified of their sin!

Continued from page 1
3. Do favors for key influencers in your networks, with no expectation of return. Help promote their latest blog posts, books, seminars, for example. But, don't just limit yourself to those with "high Klout scores." Rather, keep in mind Guy Kawasaki's great quote: The nobodies are the new somebodies. Treat others as equals and thank people often. From time to time, retweet and reshare content from up and coming bloggers and new industry professionals.
Facebook is clearly your favorite marketing tool. What common mistakes do people make on Facebook when it comes to business?
One common mistake is to treat the business (fan) page as a one-way broadcast channel and even go as far as to turn off the page wall. That sends the message to visitors and prospective fans/customers that the business only really cares about themselves and doesn't want to hear from others. I recommend having an engagement strategy and resources in place to moderate and manage the engagement on all your social profiles.
Another common mistake is to make your Facebook personal profile and/or business page nothing but business. Because Facebook is first a social network, when you can let people in and share even small tidbits of your personal life, you'll be much more likely to elicit a positive response when you are sharing promotional content. The three main areas social network users love to hear about are family, travels and hobbies. If it's not relevant to be sharing glimpses of your personal life on a fan page, e.g. for a major brand, let's say, then be sure to personalize and humanize your content. Let your fans know there are real people behind the messages. Interact with your community in first person if possible, and use their first names when replying.
You've spoken to audiences internationally about social media. How has the conversation (and audience questions) changed in the past five years?
Five years ago, Facebook was the most exciting big thing to hit the Internet in a very long time and audiences were eager to know all the do's and dont's of marketing their business through the personal profile (before fan pages existed!). But, now, business owners are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with the rapidly changing technology and techniques. I often meet entire audiences who are feeling in complete overwhelm, and often end up doing nothing to advance their social media marketing because they truly don't know what to do next... or they've received ineffective advice from somewhere. Or, they feel if they do take action, it's only going to change the next day or next week.
Another common theme is the fear of negative comments. I'm often amazed at how many businesses choose to avoid using Facebook altogether - or having a blog or any other public forum - lest they receive negative comments and have to deal with them publicly. In both instances - the overwhelm of keeping up with changes, and the fear of negative comments - the best antidote is the right knowledge and professional training. To get unstuck, businesses need to invest resources and implement systems so they can fully take advantage of all that these new and emerging social and relational technologies offer.

Your editorial, "Seniority based teacher layoffs hurts schools, students" (2-13), is based solidly on four myths.
Myth 1: Everyone knows a bad teacher when they see one. There is a clear definition of bad teaching, and everyone knows what it is.
Myth 2: A good teacher can teach well no matter what the conditions.
Myth 3: We don't have to worry about bad administrators. Administrators are more carefully hired than teachers, and they all know how to evaluate personnel dispassionately.
Myth 4: There's no downside to firing experienced teachers, especially those in the later years of their professional life. After all, the younger, more energetic teachers are cheaper — a good buy for the taxpayer.
Questions reform-minded legislators must ask when considering the latest education bills, HB1699 and SB 5399, are these:
• Will "the best and brightest" college graduates choose a career where their status and income will be hostage to the vagaries of politics and competing ideologies?
• Will caring, nurturing young adults want to teach school where the odds of living in and serving their community for 25 years are shrinking fast?
• Will teachers ever be interested in "merit pay" when they have already seen other contractual promises — like class size, benefits, bonuses for national certification — disappear before their very eyes?


text: Hey love, my name is Terri Lomax. I'm a Blogger, Speaker, and Brand Strategist and I empower striving women of color, to make peace with their pasts and pursue their goals, all while becoming their best selves. I also teach women who struggle with tech to leverage social media and personal branding, to grow their audience and impact. I love my life, but I have to be honest with you; my life wasn't always this fulfilling. Have you ever looked in the mirror and been sadly disappointed by who was staring back at you? Have you ever cried yourself to sleep at night feeling as though the weight of the world was on your shoulders? Were you ever insecure about your weight or physical appearance? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we have a few things in common. My Passion Was Birthed From a Place of Hurt and Pain… I'm sure I look pretty happy in the picture to the left, but my desire to empower women to achieve their goals and overcome low self-esteem, was birthed from a place of hurt and pain. I grew up in an abusive household where my mom was physically and verbally abusive. As a result, I developed a deep seated self-hatred that negatively affected every area of my life. Often times I walked around with a smile plastered on my face, but on the inside, I was in turmoil. It took almost 20 years for me to learn the value of self-love and to realize my worth as a human being, let alone a black woman. I thought I Was Alone… The most discouraging part of my journey was that I thought I was alone. I thought I was the only girl who hated herself and her body. I didn't see women on TV who looked like me, discussing depression, low self-esteem, or how to overcome the enemy within. There weren't many productive outlets for me to talk about my negative self-image, or my struggles for that matter. I didn't believe in myself and my self-concept contributed to a lot of self-defeating habits. The Light at The End of the Tunnel… Despite what I've been through, I was able to overcome; but I can't take all the credit. I attribute much of my success (if not all of it) to supportive family members, selfless mentors, my dynamic pastors, and my "WHY" or my 7 siblings. By the time I was 23, I graduated with my Master's degree and self-published my first book. I also started my own company, Terri Lomax Productions, LLC, which has a mission to equip marginalized teens and black women, with practical tools to actualize their potential. I don't list these accomplishments to brag, instead, I want to show women who are on the verge of giving up, that anything is possible with persistence and a commitment to resilience! I created Mocha Girls Pit Stop to be a supportive online community where like-minded women can share their stories and inspire one another. To read my official bio please click here.

in india airport somegirl named mantra drops a bag containing diamonds in hansa's bag to escape from security check.in dubai,to take back diamonds from hansa's bag mantra sends a person named phoolchand to steal hansa's bag as she misses out to take it from hansa in the airport.phoolchand by accidently steals different bag from hansa in which hansa had kept her gajare.to take descripion of chor, praful brings as usual a nakli police officer coz he was the only person wearing green dress,hansa instead of giving description of chor gives the description of gajare(coz in that bag gajare was their naaaaaaa).
mantra finds out from phoolchand that he stole wrong bag and asks him to check it out again.
whole family comes in to the hotel to checkin but recptionist confirms them that have not booked in this hotel,now praful the gr8 opens up his mouth and says them that he had booked in singapore coz he got fedup while calling up to dubai hotel as noone was picking up the phone.
reciptionist somehow gives them two rooms one for ladies and another for gents.in ladies room hansa refuses to eat anything until and unleess she gets back her gajare.
praful goes to one mall where one indian is marketing for a brand new car,praful comes near him and irritates him by saying that even he has the same car but it has diff shape diff colour but stands just like this car,irritated marketing fellow asks praful what actually he wants and guess what he says gajare(gajare near marketing fellow).
in another store praful catch holds of phoolchand(praful doesn't know that he is gajare wala chor)and asks him that whether he knows where gajare is found,phoolchand gets irrritated and gets him gajare(from hansa's bag which he had stolen),and says he got it thro email from hyderabad.praful requests phoolchand to give this gajare to hansa.while in mean time jayshree hansa and kadki menesa are planning to shift to room next to gents room(where praful,bhavesh,babuji etc are staying)as they are scared where bhavesh vl eat up their snacks as they forgot their food bag in gents room.they excahnge their room from one bhudi who was staying next to gent's room(they scare that bhudhi by saying that bhooth resides here,bhudhi plans to shift)coming back to praful and phoolchand(from now on i'll call him chor),praful and chor come to the first ladies room and they see their bhudhi,praful is shocked as he thinks hansa in depression of gajare became bhudhi and he is all crying.while bhudhi and praful are busy talking chor takes advantage of this situation and checks bhudhi's room their he gets hansa's bag and runs away from that place.
recpionist is very angry on bhavesh as bhavesh entered hotel kitchen and ate few items and recpionist while chasing him come to one area where they see gajare wala chor,bhavesh identifies him,and to escape from bhavesh chor takes out his gun and shoots bhavesh's hand.
the end one epi.

On February 14th, BCA will send a team of nineteen 11th and 12th grade students to participate in an international service project in Batey Angelina, Dominican Republic. This one week trip will be full of adventure, hard work, and personal challenges. We are hopeful that this trip will not only benefit a community in need but will also deeply impact our students who are going.
The team will be in the Dominican Republic from February 14-21, 2014 serving with a local church, La Iglesia de Dios, and working at their student center which is supported by Compassion International. Our team will be working with over 350 local children serving them meals, providing tutoring assistance, and participating in building construction at the student center. Student centers are designed to supplement the marginal education of the public schools, provide job skills, and help students find employment. The children who attend are sponsored by Compassion International, a child sponsorship program, based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Because of the student center, the local church has grown from 150 to 400 in 2 years. BCA has sent student teams to this project in 2008, 2010, 2012 and a mini-team in 2013.
Please keep the BCA team in your thoughts and prayers.

Blue Bell, Pa. (PRWEB) January 18, 2012
Fiberlink, the leader in software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions for secure mobile device and application management, today announced a free live webinar titled "Securing the Kindle Fire in the Enterprise" on Thursday, January 19, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. Fiberlink's Brian Christini will share how you can facilitate the process of Kindle Fire adoption in your work environment while keeping your corporate network secure.
The modified Android operating system unique to Amazon's Kindle Fire has allowed for considerable misconception regarding the tablet's enterprise manageability. Many will be surprised to hear there is no need to keep these tablets at home; under the covers the Kindle Fire is just as manageable as any other Android device running the 2.3 OS version. From an IT management perspective, these devices can be fully utilized by employees when the right tools are put into play.
The event is part of Fiberlink's Mobility Operations, Resources and Experts (MORE) series of webinars, providing insight, best practices and expertise from its customer platform services team on mobile device management.

GYPSUM, Colo.—One of the premiere high altitude aviation training facilities in the United States has opened in Colorado.
The Colorado Army National Guard post celebrated the opening of the new building on Friday at the Eagle County Airport.
According to KCNC-TV ( http://tinyurl.com/c5skfwv), the new facility is expected to train more than 400 pilots each year.
The pilots are taught that high altitudes can make flying helicopters dangerous because the thinner air saps performance.

Pre-loading pre-ordered content on your PlayStation 4 so that you may play it the moment the game releases won't arrive until September with the release of Destiny. Though the feature was thought to arrive sooner with maybe Watch Dogs or Wolfenstein: The New Order, the PlayStation support page offers some new information.
"Beginning with Destiny, certain pre-ordered titles can be automatically be pre-loaded prior to their release," Sony support says. "This lets you rest easy knowing that your game will be ready for play the second its release date hits."
Sony notes that not every title will support pre-load functionality and that pre-loading doesn't grant early access to the game. "It simply loads it several days prior to its release so you're able to play it on its release date." Automatic downloads must also be enabled on your PS4 to pre-load games.

I really wanted to record a video, but my webcam decided to go undetected. I figure it's the goat's fault, since he has pushed my laptop off the table. I decided to record audio for you, so it's your choice…listen or read. No, it's not a transcript, but it is generally on the same topic. The audio is a little more colorful.
Is the "you" in your head the same as the "you" you project out into the world? How do you know it's consistent? What signs might you get if it isn't, and why does it matter?
Those of us who work at home don't always see too many people during the course of the day. That's generally just fine with me, but there is a limit. People kept pointing out to me that I was isolated. I decided to set my intention to get out more into the community. Sure enough, I started running into acquaintances everywhere – at the gym, the grocery store, the gas station, Costco.
Then one day a mother from the school came over because she needed an old-fashioned object that most modern people don't have anymore, but those of us who live in the woods still have…a phone line. So I assured her she was welcome to come on over and make use of it, and it was nice to see her and actually have a visitor during the day unrelated to my husband's business. Some days it's Grand Central Station over here, but it's pretty rare to get someone I actually enjoy seeing. See, people were coming to me now!
I thought I was doing a good job of being friendly. I spoke to people, I said hello, I smiled. I used to just go out and get things done. I am always thinking about something. Some might say I wander around with my head in the clouds or am just generally unobservant.
You might think that sounds funny coming from an intuitive. Don't I actually know a whole lot about people? Well yes…and no. It's kind of like not seeing the forest for the trees. When you live in your head as much as I do, you get hyper-focused on ideas and problem solving, so you can miss a lot of what is actually going on in the world around you. It's kind of hard to get an intuitive download at the same time as you're doing other things.
Then I noticed that just about every time I saw someone I knew, they had to get my attention. I didn't notice them first. They brought messages about my kids, things their kids had told them about my kids that I didn't even know about. I ran into someone in the gym this morning and I said,"Funny I've been coming here for years and we've never run into each other before." She said,"That's because you're walking around like this," and she lowered her head to the ground.
I'd just been patting myself on the back about how much more attention I was paying to people out in the world! Someone had made a suggestion that we just try smiling at five people a day, and I thought that might be hard. I decided to count. That day, I needed new tires, and I realized how I was automatically smiling at people and talking to them, so without even trying I had eight done in half an hour.
I've been told by several people lately that the me they read about on these pages is unrecognizable compared to the me they know in real life.
"Wow, wouldn't know you."
"If I didn't know you were the same person, I wouldn't believe it."
"I read your blog. You're a psychic? What do you mean, you're psychic?"
"I thought I knew you."
I really had no idea there was such a discrepancy. It's not like I try to hide it – my name is on the blog. True enough, I don't bring it up in casual conversation, either.
Then I had two experiences, one after the other, where I wasn't being heard. The people both know what I do. They both brought me problems and asked for my intuitive advice. I proceeded to give them a live reading. The only thing is, they didn't realize that's what I was doing. I suppose they thought what I was saying was my personal opinion, rather than information downloaded from spirit, because after chatting for some time, each of them asked me,"So, getting anything for me?"
I was nonplussed. I wanted to say,"Yes, everything I just said for the last twenty minutes!"
I wondered what they were expecting?
Then I realized, just like we sometimes don't see ourselves as others do, we also sometimes don't take in what spirit is telling us.
Even if…we know we're talking to a psychic.
Even if…we've asked our spirit guides for a sign.
It still doesn't seem to cross our minds that what another person tells us is often the answer to our question…delivered from spirit through another person.
It's not always Joe Shmoe's advice we're getting. It's not always Julie, Just Another Mother At The School. Imagine that – you have no idea who I am other than I'm some kid's Mom. You bring up a problem and I tell you what your spirit guide told me to say. Except I don't say it's from your spirit guide. I just give you the answer. I, Julie, happen to usually know what's my advice and what came from spirit, but a lot of times people don't realize where the information comes from…they just say what popped into their head. Some people are more conscious than others, but how many of us are going to say,"You know, I'm psychic, and your spirit guide just told me to tell you…" No! We're never going to do that.
So…just for this week, maybe start to wonder about how you are perceived in the world. Has anyone mentioned a discrepancy to you? Do you keep "all of you" a secret? Are there some major pieces that you just don't share? And when someone gives you advice, do you "consider the source" and discard it, or do you maybe not even know who the real source is after all?

Devterms to truly understand and meet the development challenges facing the countries of Africa and, indeed any emerging economy, processes of fundamental social, political and economic transformation need to be introduced that take cognizance of the essential role of development in ICT formulation.
Devterms out of this concern is now strictly limited to African ICT environment. Instead of covering a wide spectrum of issues for researchers and other community of learners,
Devterms scope and magnitude is to be focused on ICT in the African environment.
Devterms looks at African ICT environment specifically in relation to the following themes:
- Humanity in quest for meaning in ICT solutions
- Technology and Change Violence associated with ICT
- Peace and nonviolence in ICT • Creativity and Innovations in ICT
- Religion in ICT (Its use and mis-usage of ICT)
Devterms draws its inspiration from individuals, who touched my life and continue to be an inspiration in this borrowed time of my life.

For billing system companies, new standards no problem
May 2009
Deborah Levenson
No worries here, report billing software companies when asked about their ability to meet the revised deadlines for adopting ICD-10 and 5010 electronic transaction standards for HIPAA. The bigger issue, they say, is whether laboratories, hospital systems, physician offices, and payers will be ready for this next step in the U.S. health care system's transition to an electronic health care environment.
Under pressure from physician organizations and health plans, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services earlier this year post-poned adoption of the 5010 electronic standards and the long-awaited move to the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision code sets, or ICD-10, established under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Physicians had complained that the earlier deadline did not give them adequate time to upgrade their billing systems and other aspects of their practices.
CMS rolled back the deadline for adopting ICD-10 to Oct. 1, 2013, from Oct. 1, 2011. The agency extended the deadline for adopting the 5010 standard, a prerequisite to adopting ICD-10 codes, to Jan. 1, 2012, from April 1, 2010.
While CMS could again change the implementation dates for 5010 and ICD-10, further delay is unlikely because the latest deadlines have been published in final federal rules and, therefore, can only be changed through federal legislation, litigation, or a new rule-making process.
Moving forward whether the dates were to change yet again is irrelevant to most of the billing/accounts receivable system companies contacted by CAP TODAY, as the majority of them are either offering compliant products or in the process of ren-dering their products compliant.
Telcor and Healthvision offer billing systems compliant with 5010 and ICD-10. "We knew that the [U.S.] switch to ICD-10 would hap-pen, so compliance was designed into the system," says Mitch Fry, senior vice president of Telcor. "And from our perspective, 5010 com-pliance is just another release of software."
Healthvision made the switch to accommodate its Canadian clients, who are already using ICD-10, says Jim Schroeder, the company's product manager for MediAR. Health-vision can install programming for 5010 to run alongside the earlier 4010 version of the HIPAA standards. "So the client will only have to flip a switch," Schroeder says.
"During this time of transition, Healthvision's MediAR software will allow clients to bill with either ICD-9 or ICD-10, based on payer-specific billing rules," he adds.
Sunquest Information Systems is updating its Sunquest Clinical Financial software so it will be 5010 and ICD-10 compliant by April 2010, says senior product manager Debbie Tillman. And Hex Laboratory Systems is making inroads as well. The compa-ny plans to begin testing 5010 changes no later than January 2011, "or when-ever Med-icare carriers are ready for us to test," says Susan Bol-linger, Hex's sales and marketing director. Planned changes include expanding a five-digit diagnosis code field to seven digits to accommodate the longer ICD-10 codes. "The 5010 changes will be included in a version upgrade when the time is appropriate and should have minor impact on Hex's customers," Bollinger says. "The adaptation of ICD-10 will be much more difficult for customers to adjust to and will re-quire re-education on the part of physicians.
"Our clients," Bollinger adds, "have already been through the first HIPAA change, and we had everything in order then, and we will do the same with these changes."
Xifin and Cortex are formulating plans to update their billing systems too—Xifin by year end. "In total, this conversion is much simpler than the initial conversion to 4010 from proprietary formats with payer-specific formats," says Xifin CEO Lale White.
Cortex president Stan Gordon is also taking implemen-tation of the new standards in stride. Rendering Cortex's sys-tems compliant should be fairly simple, he says, because Cortex's medical billing system has key ICD codes at the individual charge level, rather than at the claim and requisition levels.
The companies interviewed by CAP TODAY predict that 5010 and ICD-10 changes will not affect their billing systems' ability to keep abreast of CMS' changes to advanced beneficiary notices, medically unnecessary edits, and other billing-related procedures and docu-ments. The vendors report having staff dedicated to monitoring these changes, or subscribing to services that do so, and that they incor-porate necessary changes into their regular updates.
Preparing laboratories ensuring that their billing/accounts receivable systems are 5010 and ICD-10 ready is just one small aspect of labs' preparations for the revised standards. The switch to 5010 and ICD-10 "is impacting the entire hospital and health care system, almost on a scale equivalent to Y2K," says Sunquest's Tillman.
Staff involved in the flow of patient data need to be prepared, explains Healthvision's Schroeder. "Doctors need to learn the new ICD-10 codes and be able to transmit them," he says. "Labs need to be prepared to accept the codes and transmit them. And so do payers."
"Anything that sends, stores, or processes ICD-9 codes now will need to be tested to see if it can handle ICD-10 codes," and that's a daunting task, echoes Telcor's Fry. Those tests will involve all internal and external systems that play a role in the flow of information into and out of the lab. Communication with older programs and homegrown applications is likely to be the most challenging, Fry continues. That's because these programs are larger than more recent commercial software and contain millions of lines of code that need review.
Education too will pose a challenge. Lab staff—and everyone else who routinely uses ICD-9-CM (Clinical Modification) codes—must learn the ICD-10 codes. ICD-9-CM contains about 13,600 codes, versus ICD-10's 120,000, says Hex's Bollinger. "The switch [for medical professionals] isn't going to be simple and easy."
Jennifer Randall, a certified professional coder and medical billing technical support analyst for Cortex, deemed the move to ICD-10 "a huge ordeal" for her profession. "The numbers coders know by heart are going away," she says. Randall urges laboratories to train staff well and to ensure that requisition forms reflect the new codes.
Labs should be alert to problems that originate in physician offices due to lapses in staff training, says Bollinger. To be fair, she adds, the learning curve for physician offices is steeper than for laboratories because clinicians will need to select from many more codes under ICD-10. Lapses in training could lead to claims being filed incorrectly, she adds.
Covering all angles the switch to 5010 and ICD-10 may not go smoothly on the payer end either. "An insurer could ignore ICD-10s for a while or insist on both the ICD-9-CM and ICD-10 codes," says Cortex's Gordon, speaking from ex-perience with CMS' earlier switch to the 4010 standard. "You can't predict what payers will be ready to accept at the deadline," he adds.
Laboratories, billing systems, and payers should be prepared to accept both ICD-9-CM and ICD-10 codes for some time, says Tillman. "Our plan is to leave ICD-9s in our system and give it the capability to handle ICD-10s," she explains. That means labs will need to test both capabilities in Sunquest's forthcoming update to its clinical financial system. Lab staff should ask physician practices when they will start sending ICD-10 codes to the lab, she advises. And, at the same time, labs should know when they will be ready to receive ICD-10 codes and transmit them to payers.
"The bottom line is that the required changes to software, for any vendor, aren't the biggest challenge," says Gordon. "The major problem will be getting everyone else ready. And labs won't know until they've flipped the switch if payers will accept ICD-9 or ICD-10."
