Stay ahead of developments in federal and state health care law, regulation and transactions with timely, expert news and analysis.
Lawmakers may be starting to buy into safety-net hospitals' calls to ward off deep cuts to Medicaid payments before they start taking effect next month.
The cuts affect payments meant to offset charity care costs for providers serving disproportionately high numbers of the poor and uninsured. But under a proposed Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services rule implementing a long-delayed Obamacare provision, those providers in fiscal 2018 would see $2 billion slashed from the nearly $12 billion in federal annual allotments. Those cuts would grow to reach a total of $43 billion through 2025.
Nearly 90 chief executives representing more than 234 hospitals Sept. 12 called on leaders of the Senate Finance and House Energy and Commerce committees to "collaborate and work swiftly" to delay the cuts, by a minimum of two years. They warned in a letter signed by Bruce Siegel, president and CEO of America's Essential Hospitals, that the disproportionate share hospital (DSH) cuts would hurt the health-care safety net, damaging care access and local economies.
Shawn Gremminger, director of legislative affairs for America's Essential Hospitals, told Bloomberg BNA providers hope to be able to add the delay into a bill to reauthorize the Children's Health Insurance Program. CHIP funding needs urgent action too, as it's set to expire Sept. 30. The hospitals are up against some challenges: lawmakers' ire coming out of the stalled Obamacare repeal-and-replace conversations and a very crowded congressional calendar. Still, the hospitals plan to keep ramping up the pressure on Congress.
And some lawmakers are starting to listen.
A separate letter from Reps. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.), John Culberson (R-Texas) and Steven Palazzo (R-Miss.) urged lawmakers to act quickly to delay the cuts to "critical" DSH payments by at least two years. Their "dear colleague" letter aims to round up congressional support by Sept. 20.
Gremminger called that push a chance to get a "real indication of whether we have broad bipartisan support on stopping DSH cuts."
If the CMS proposed rule is made final, the initial $2 billion cuts go into effect for fiscal 2018, starting Oct. 1.
Because states receive the funds on a quarterly basis, the end of the first quarter sets a ticking clock, with some states like Missouri already beginning to reduce their state DSH payments to hospitals in anticipation of the cuts.
The agency will weigh the allotments based half on a state's uninsured rate and 25 percent each on charity care and Medicaid volume. Based on those factors, federal payments would likely fall by a range of 1.2 percent to 33.5 percent in the next fiscal year, according to projections from the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission, with the largest impacts felt in Connecticut, Tennessee, and Washington.
Each state would determine how those dollars are doled out among providers and hospitals.
"There's no question; these are not the kinds of cuts that can be swallowed and you move on," Gremminger said.
If the push isn't successful, hospitals will have to scale back services, he said.
Essential hospitals offer care to the low-income, the uninsured, Medicaid beneficiaries, and often those with life-threatening health issues. If they struggle, it would have repercussions for the entire safety-net care system, Gremminger said.
"We're looking at the beginning of a slow-moving catastrophe as cuts get larger and larger and become more and more untenable," he said.
By the end allotments would be scaled back by almost two-thirds.
Providers warned Sept. 12 the DSH cuts would ultimately place vulnerable patients at risk.
They also pointed to continually high amounts of uncompensated care, making the reductions "unjustifiable," and to the impact the cuts would have on local jobs.
The ACA's reductions in the payments were made under the assumption more people would be insured through health insurance exchanges and Medicaid expansions. But they were added before a Supreme Court ruling left states able to opt out of the expansion.
"Our nation's hospitals cannot sustain losses of this magnitude," Engel, Culberson, and Palazzo wrote. "Institutions will be forced to shutter, leaving our constituents without a safety net."
The executives on the letter represent health systems from across the U.S. and in varied circumstances: urban, rural, in states that expanded Medicaid and those that chose not to, in liberal and conservative areas. Safety-net hospitals hope that will bring the issue more into focus for lawmakers.
The lawmakers haven't heard enough yet from those on the ground about the issue, Gremminger said.
Members of Congress will need to place pressure, in turn, on committee chairmen and ranking members and leaders in both chambers to get a deal through, he said.
Safety-net hospitals would like to see the issue addressed as part of a safety-net package of extenders, also including federally qualified health centers.
But DSH cuts "just have not risen to the level yet of things they feel they absolutely have to do," Gremminger said.
And Congress faces a busy schedule.
Senate Finance Committee lawmakers announced Sept. 12 they had reached a deal on a five-year extension of CHIP. That deal did not appear to include Medicaid DSH cuts, but the bill's text hasn't been released yet.
Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) said Sept. 13 there isn't a timeline yet for passing CHIP.
"There's just so much to be done getting them done in a timely manner would be difficult," Gremminger said. "It would be wise to try to package as many of these noncontroversial bipartisan priorities together as possible."

Causes that touch the heart - donating money
It is easy to get wrapped up in our day to day existence, which is sometimes difficult to navigate. This year has started off with some rather sad events for me and my family. However, when considering the magnitude of losing your island from a natural disaster, or your country through war, it can provide some perspective.
As someone who has, thankfully, never had to go without any essential basics I cannot imagine how hard it must be to suffer and survive tragedies such as these. My family has always been at hand to ask for help and they have always had enough. Don't get me wrong, there has been some tough times but never so bad that we didn't have a roof over our heads or food to eat.
I studied my senior high school at an Adult College where many refugees were learning to speak English and were finishing their high school studies. Some of the experiences that were shared with me about living for years in refugee camps, fleeing war, and lying about their age to marry all opened my eyes to a very different life experience to mine. They definitely made me feel pretty lucky.
I found A Thousand Splendid Suns to be a book that truly touched my heart and made me feel a connection with the women of Afghanistan. When I finished reading it last year for the first time I was overwhelmed with a desire to do something. The vivid account of the devastating impacts to families from the war and the repression of women horrified and saddened me.
Although I was inspired to do something I had no real idea on what or how to do it. One of my friends recommended CARE Australia to me. She was donating to them and saw that they were involved with educating women in Afghanistan.
After doing quite a lot of research between charities that work in social justice and poverty alleviation I started donating $15 a month to CARE Australia, which I felt was a small but important contribution towards their work rebuilding and educating communities.
When doing my research I looked at the type of projects that each organisation worked on, if it aligned with my interest and concerns, and the breakdown of expenditure to see how much was going to activities like fund raising and administration and how much was going into the projects that help people in need.
I also started to donate $15 a month to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) since they play an extremely important role in assisting and housing displaced people.
There are so many causes that deserve our attention. I did try to find a charity that would provide support to Indigenous Australians but I, unfortunately, didn't find one that I was comfortable donating to. Not because I doubted the companies but I had some specific ideas in mind and I struggled to find programs that aligned with them.
I believe that my families regular contributions are valuable because it is money that these organisations can rely on in their project planning. It is something small that I can do to feel that I am contributing to initiatives that I hope bring hope and comfort to people that have lost a lot and endure tough times. I hope the organisations I have chosen help them to build a better life for themselves.
When I see disasters like Cyclone Pam I feel good that I am already contributing something towards helping.
Have you also been inspired to support a cause? I'd love to hear about it

I am so torn with what and who to support. We give a direct regular contribution to sponsor a girl in Kenya who has been the victim of terrible sexual abuse and I know the money is going direct. We also have a regular Oxfam contribution and it has similar projects to Care Australia. We support Cerebral Palsy Alliance in Australia with a regular contribution as we wanted to do something locally. And we support Kiva loans to help a number of women in developing countries become financially independent. And then disasters happen and you just try to dig a little bit deeper. There are so many good causes.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Kathy. It sounds like you have found a good range of important causes to support. I guess we have to try to accept that we can't do everything and make sure that we feel good about the bits we are able to do. Thanks for sharing your contributions. It's great to find out what kind of different programs are around. LizDelete

The city of Leipzig, Germany is truly remarkable to explore. It is one of Germany's coolest and most pioneering cities, but it still has strong historical roots and classic architecture worth admiring.
While you are spending time in Leipzig, you should make it a point to see the Renaissance old town hall, which is on central Marktplatz. The town hall is now home to the city's history museum, the Stadtgeschichtliches Museum Leipzig. Anyone interested in classical music will love getting the chance to visit the St. Thomas Church, which is the historical resting place of the world-famous composer J.S. Bach.
After you have had such an amazing time in Leipzig, Germany, you're going to want to share stories of your adventures with your family and friends. There is no better way to do that than by hiring a vacation photographer to send you home with stunning photos of your travels.

TAD Micro Evolution One loudspeaker $12,495 Review
January 30, 2018 § Leave a comment
"If you think film sound is slumming, it isn't. I'm a huge fan of film scores, and the best experiences I had with the TADs with large-scale music, such as symphony orchestras or elaborate electronic compositions, were when I played soundtracks from a film's original Blu-ray, not the separate release of the score on CD. For more on this subject I highly recommend Score, a superb documentary on BD about film scores, their composers, and how they're recorded. The final orchestral flourish on that release, appropriately titled "Finale," sounded spectacular through the TADs when supported by the Revel center and sub. My only frustration is that this selection isn't credited in more detail—I can't tell you what film it comes from.

Brevard NC Shops and Restaurants
Rocky's Grill and Soda Rocky's in Brevard NC is the retro real deal, a genuine old-time Soda Fountain. Residents of Brevard-ites knew this spot as Varner's Drug Store and Soda Fountain since its beginnings in 1942. Generations of town folks, not to mention tens of thousands of summer camp kids for whom a trip into Brevard NC was a treat, have sat on the bright red stools in front of the long soda counter to spoon a sundae, or shared secrets and French fries in the high-backed booths that line one wall. The menu here is right out of the '50's, with burgers, fries and wonderfully decadent chili dogs. The floats, shakes and malts are made with real ice cream, and the ambiance is pure "Happy Days".
Green Mountain Freight Company Inside this warm and inviting shop, the walls are lined with colorful African folk art, fanciful carved fish and brilliant stained glass. The owner has scoured the world's exotic destinations to find brightly colored well made clothes, artworks, furnishings and home decor that are made under fair trade practices. The handcrafted furniture is solid feeling, comfortable and piled with casual looking stacks of decorative textiles in a rainbow of hues. Jewelry is also a big part of her wares, as is clothing, fanciful sculpture, carvings and glassworks.
O.P. Taylor's Toys Named for Andy Griffith's fictional Mayberry son, OP's is a rambling, multi-floor building where room-after-room is filled with toys of every description, including stuffed animals, games, kid costumes, model trains, cars and a lot of fun stuff that you may not have seen since you were a kid. When owner John Taylor isn't searching the world for unique and interesting toys, he can often be found in the store playing with . . er, . . demonstrating the toys, while keeping up a very funny non-stop patter worthy of any side show barker. Taylor is a man who clearly loves his job (the propeller beanie is a dead give-away). O.P. Taylor's is an experience - no matter what your age, and this unique establishment fully deserves its self-assigned mantle of "The Coolest Toy Store on the Planet".
Celestial Mountain Music Celestial Nountain Music in Brevard NC is one of those great, small town mountain music stores that there should be more of. It's hard to walk in here and not want to sign up for one of their many courses that teach you how to play a banjo, dobro or guitar. The walls of this Brevard NC shop are lined with stringed instruments of every variety. You'll see big names here like Fender, Martin and Gibson but you'll also find finely crafted instruments by local artisans like Cedar Mountain Banjos.
Brevard Antique Mall This is one of the largest and busiest cooperative antique markets in Western North Carolina. Over 60 dealers share this 20,000 square feet of display space, offering row after row of antique and collectable furniture, tools, glassware, jewelry, toys and so much more. Prices here are often very reasonable. Attached to the market is the fascinating Underground Salvage Company that offers high end antique salvaged building materials. Here you may find claw foot bathtubs, ornate marble columns, fabulous oak and stained glass doorways, wrought iron gates, and other building decor from more elegant times.
Red Wolf Gallery The first thing you notice stepping into this gallery are the colors - bright and warm. Next, you see the boldness of design. This is not art for shy people or lovers of pastels. Internationally acclaimed artist Anna Dergara and her son, Eric Dergara display their art along with the works of numerous local artists. Anna's landscapes are strong, with vivid hues and dramatic light, softened by an almost ethereal blending of cloud and land and sky. Anna is also known for her dramatically rendered animals and abstracts.
Number 7 Arts Located right next door to the Red Wolf Gallery, Number 7 Arts is a cooperative of 20 plus members of the Transylvania County Arts Council. Inside this inviting space the walls are hung with acrylic and watercolor paintings and wall textiles. Mobiles hang from the ceiling and whimsical sculptures and objects d' arte abound, including carvings, basketry, metal work and more.
Quotations This bright and lively cafe has become one of the favorite meeting places in Brevard NC. The coffees are flavorful and the pastries are light and flakey. There is also a tempting menu of sandwiches and light lunches. Windows look out on Brevard's busy Main Street and the walls are hung with framed literary and clever quotations. One of our favorites is by author Robert Heinlein: "Women and cats do as they please and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea".

Symptoms and disorders are a result of unbalanced chakras. Sometimes they need to receive energy because they are deficient and sometimes they are excessive and need to release energy. Using various techniques, you can redistribute the energy to balance and unblock your chakras. During times of illness and aging, chakras slow their spinning and begin to collapse. Daily meditation, aromatherapy and the use of gemstones can help maintain the chakras.
The Solar Plexus Chakra begins developing at approximately the age of eighteen months. It continues up to about five years old. This chakra strongly connects you to your accomplishments, power and fulfillment in life. It can be very difficult to reach full potential if there is trauma or distress during this stage of development.
The Third Chakra imbalances will manifest themselves emotionally with lack of ambition, irresponsibility, rage, lack of self esteem, fear, anxiety and feeling helpless.
Physically, an imbalance in the Third Chakra will show itself by fatigue, gallstones, diabetes, excessive weight fluctuations, and constipation and digestive problems.
How to Restore Balance
Gemstones and essential oils can be extremely helpful when balancing the chakras. By using them during meditation or other therapies, balancing can be achieved more quickly and completely. The Third Chakra is associated with the gems sunstone, amber and citrine and the essential oil scents of Cassia and Peppermint.
The element of the Third Chakra is fire. To increase your fire energy, eat and drink hot foods and drinks and avoid cold or iced things. Get active in any way and your fire energy will increase. The best way to decrease your fire energy is to increase your water energy. Stand straight with your shoulders back to provide plenty of room for the fire energy chakra. Avoid artificial stimulants like coffee, alcohol, cigarettes or whatever you use to push your energy system that will deplete your energy over time.

ALERT: YouTube Has Officially Cut Ties With Logan Paul
Yesterday, YouTube sparked outrage from the online community after tweeting a response to Logan Paul's suicide video without taking any official action. Now, they've changed their minds and it's about flipping time.
The popular streaming service has announced that they will be cutting *some* ties with Logan, but won't be banning him altogether.
According to a new report by The Hollywood Reporter, YouTube and Google have put all its original projects with him on hold, including The Thinning sequel and Logan will not be included in the fourth season of Foursome.
Logan has officially been removed from YouTube's Google Preferred program which gives brands the ability to sell ads on the top 5 percent of creators on the platform.
"In light of recent events, we have decided to remove Logan Paul's channels from Google Preferred," a YouTube spokeswoman shared.
"Additionally, we will not feature Logan in season four of Foursome and his new Originals are on hold."
Meanwhile, Logan has gone on an indefinite hiatus from vlogging on his personal channel, but people are calling for YouTube to ban the controversial star altogether.

A question about brass fittings
Do the latest brass fittings 3/4 tee still pose a threat from lead
If so how would you pickle them
I have to build something for a mate that will require 40% neutral to be in contact with brass tees
Doubleuj wrote:Brass can be pickled but submerging in 1 part hydrogen peroxide 2 parts white vinegar for around 5 mins, but this only affects the outer layer and needs to be repeated regularly.
What is it your making? Perhaps a pic or description and someone can come up with another solution that doesn't involve brass.
Magnus wrote:you can get these Stainless Steel Tees for a lot less than brass on ebay they come in many different sizes, they have double SS ferrules, some search terms to use are "TEE Compression Plumbing Pipe Fitting Double Ferrule Stainless Steel"

They are very fragile and those compression fittings will break it.
Go for the porthole type that we use for bubbler modules.

Join Hertfordshire Chorus, the BBC Concert Orchestra and special guest performers Samuel West and Ben Johnson for a concert marking the centenary of the end of the First World War. Bliss composed Morning Heroes, a choral symphony for orator, chorus and orchestra, as a tribute to his brother Kennard Bliss and all those who died in the First World War. It is a moving work of remembrance, composed by someone who had experienced the war's horrors personally, which contrasts the harsh realities of war with the more romantic images described in classical texts. It has been talked of as one of the finest choral works of the period.Britten was well known as a pacifist but he composed his three movement Ballad of Heroes as a tribute to the fallen British members of the International Brigade who had fought in the Spanish Civil War. Two of the movements are settings of poems by W.H.Auden who had fought with the Brigade. Its musical contrasts echo the uncertainties of a time when growing hostilities were leading to the Second World War.Poet and composer Ivor Gurney who fought in the First World War, wrote A Gloucestershire Rhapsody in 1919 when he was giving voice to the contrast of his experiences between the Flanders trenches and the beauty of the landscape of his native Gloucestershire.Hertfordshire Chorus, directed by David Temple MBE, is one of finest large choirs in the UK, renowned both for the quality of its classical choral music and for commissioning and performing new works by contemporary composers.

With respect to Russell Martin's playing time with the Blue Jays, it doesn't matter that he's Canadian. Nor does it matter that he's a 4-time all-star and gold glove winner. All that matters these days in the competitive world of big league baseball is how much you're contributing now. And if you aren't doing your part to help your team win ball games, you might just be the next Pablo Sandoval, Phil Hughes, or Hanley Ramirez. That is to say, a veteran player to be released despite still having millions of dollars left on their contract.
Much like what the Red Sox had with Ramirez and Sandoval, and the Twins with Hughes, the Blue Jays have a few bad contracts of their own with underperforming veterans. Could one of Russell Martin, Kendrys Morales, or Troy Tulowitzki ever be released prior to the conclusion of their contract with Toronto?
When a player is struggling and begins to see their playing time cut-down, they start to propose alternative options in an attempt to try and do more for their team. Sometimes these proposals are a complete joke, such as Morales offering his services to pitch ever since he forgot how to hit. While other times they make a whole lot of sense like Martin spending more time playing infield.
It's all about adapting. Veterans like Morales and Martin see what happened to Hanley Ramirez, and think to themselves if this could happen to someone playing far better than they are, what does the future hold for them. The big difference between Martin and Morales when it comes to the idea of adapting their skill set to improve upon what they do for Toronto is that Martin's skills are far more diversified on account of his athleticism and history of playing the infield. Unlike Morales who is pretty much a DH that can also play a mediocre 1st base, Martin can play 2nd, 3rd, and as we saw yesterday in Philadelphia, even a little SS when needed.
Martin knows that his days as a starting catcher are numbered. Especially with Luke Maile and Danny Jansen doing as well as they've been. If Martin were to keep pushing to play catcher, he understands all too well the chances of him playing for the Blue Jays until the conclusion of his contract would be slim to none.
Even at the age of 35, Martin is a special athlete. He could have easily played either 2nd or 3rd base for the majority of his career and performed every bit as well defensively (if not better) as he did playing catcher. Before even contemplating the idea of releasing him, the Blue Jays need to try him out as an infielder for an extended period of time and see just how much more he'd be able to contribute offensively when playing a position far less taxing on both his body and mind.

One Billion Rising Graphic
One Billion Rising is a social justice movement.
One Billion Rising event next Wednesday
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
A call to end all forms of violence and discrimination of women is rising in Grecia next Wednesday. The One Billion Rising social justice movement is hosting the event at Grecia's Parque Central in front of the Catedral Mercedes at 11 a.m. next Wednesday. Participants and observers can expect some members of the movement to conduct the signature dance of the campaign.
This dance, called "Break the Chain," has been performed worldwide to support One Billion Rising since 2013, said Joan Dewar, one of the local representatives for the movement. Ms. Dewar said that the dancers have been rehearsing for this event for at least a month.
The Municipalidad de Grecia and the wider community have been participating in One Billion Rising since 2013, Ms. Dewar said, and each time the numbers have grown from 17 women in 2013 to around a hundred last year.
Anyone interested does not need to bring their dance shoes, however. Ms. Dewar said that all can come out in support of the dancers and the movement. The dancers will be accompanied by a local group of drummers called Thunder Drums.
One Billion Rising is a global movement founded in 2012 by playwright Eve Ensler, according to organizers. Ms. Ensler is also famous for her successful 1996 play series "The Vagina Monologues," which discusses issues related to feminism, women's rights, reproduction, and sex. The movement's goals is to raise awareness and ensure a commitment toward ending violence and discrimination against women.
Decrease in Haitian/African immigration
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Immigration authorities report a sharp decrease in the amount of Haitians and Africans entering the country illegally since the beginning of this year.
According to the Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería, only 633 undocumented people from those areas have gotten into the country. Most of them are coming from Panamá with their desired final destination being the United States.
They are being granted a temporary permit for 50 days so they can apply for another migratory status while living in shelters where their basic needs are met, immigration authorities said.
Authorities consider that this could be the remainder of the 18,000-strong immigration wave that entered Costa Rican soil during the second half of 2016 and created a humanitarian crisis at Peñas Blancas, along the northern border with neighbor Nicaragua. This crisis has been reported extensively in the past.
They also believe that many of them were temporary workers of the Olympic Games that took place in Brazil in 2016.
From those in the latest group, only a few have accepted the refugee status in Costa Rica. The vast majority prefer to request that status once in the United States.
According to the 2016 data, Salvadorans and Venezuelans are the top two nationals who seek refugee status in Costa Rica. Costa Rica is defined by the United Nations' refugee agency as a refugee status determination country, which means the government of Costa Rica is primarily responsible for determining the status of asylum seekers.
The establishment wants to see Trump fail
Dear A.M. Costa Rica:
It is very perplexing to say the least, that for the last hundred years and more, the American citizenry listened to the rhetoric of professional politicians' running for office on both sides of the aisle. After these politicians were elected, they did not do one thing they said they would do except continue the same business as usual. Meanwhile, voters were dreaming about someone who would be different.
Now we have a president who is actually a ''non-politician'' doing what he said he would do. Why are these idiots all up in arms about it? Rest assured that the entire establishment does not want this man to be successful. If so then, around the world, the citizens would see that electing professional lying corrupt politicians is not the thing to do if you want to really make your country better.
Ray Charles can see what is going on now. The crooked politicians cannot and will not allow their good old boys club to be destroyed. They have virtually insulated themselves from the American people. The old game of 'good cop-bad cop has allowed them all to become millionaires. All this while not doing one thing for the citizens. Go figure!

violinist opens 2017 season with Russian concerto
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The Russian-born Philippe Quint is the invited violin soloist as the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional opens the 2017 season Friday night with an identical concert Sunday morning.
Quint, who came to the United States in 1991, has a master's degree from The Juilliard School and counts Isaac Stern, Itzhak Perlman and similar distinguished musicians and teachers for mentors.
Quint will play "Violin Concerto in D major," Op. 35, the 1878 masterpiece by Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
The program also includes two Russian classics, the overture from Mikhail Glinka's opera, "Ruslan and Ludmila" and Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition."
The director will be Carl St. Clair.
Quint has received two Grammy nominations for two albums and has appeared in performances worldwide. He plays the famed Ruby Violin made by Antonio Stradivari in 1708.
An orchestra spokesman said that a feature of the concerts will be the debut of uniforms that have been designed for the musicians by Costa Rican Eric Mora, who won a competition to do so. The goal of the contest and the uniforms is to renew the orchestra's image, said the spokesman.
The Friday performance is at 8 p.m., and the one Sunday is at 10:30 a.m., both in the Teatro Nacional.

will have artistic performances in venues and the
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Theaters, concert halls as well as the streets are awaiting the entertainers and performers of the arts to provide a show for the public this weekend.
The street performances by the Compañia Nacional de Danza are continuing this weekend for this year's "Chepe Danza." The program, according to organizers, seeks to bring contemporary dance outside to the streets and garner new audiences. Saturday, two shows will be performed called "Divina Resiliencia" and "Insomnio" at 6 p.m. in the Parque Okayama at San Francisco de Dos Ríos.
According to the dance company, the first show is an interpretation in the life of a woman who habitually hides her problems and rises above her losses in a form of self-strength. That performance will be conducted again on Sunday at noon along Paseo Colón. This is also done in conjuction with the Municipalidad de San José's wider event of "Domingos familiares sin humo."
The municipality established this event to promote smoke-free spaces in the capital and has developed it into a general time of recreation for families to live a healthy, tobacco-free lifestyle. The smokeless Sundays will continue until April 9, organizers said.
The classic theater performance of "Los árboles mueren de pie," or "Trees die standing," will return to the stage today at the Teatro La Aduana Alberto Cañas Escalante. This performance first premiered back in 1949 with themes of almost fantastic realism, the Ministerio de Cultura y Juventud said.
The play is by a Spaniard named Alejandro Casona and will be held every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from March 3 to March 19, organizers said. Those shows will begin at 7:30 p.m. and on Sundays at 5 p.m.
|General admission is 5000

In cinema, the Preámbulo is continuing its free showing of international films this weekend at the Centro Costarricense de Producción Cinematográfica in front of the north side of the Instituto Nacional de Seguros building in Barrio Amón.
Capacity is limited so organizers suggest arriving at least a half hour before the film starts. The first movie will be shown tonight at 7. On Saturday and Sunday, there will be shows at 1 p.m., 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Information on the film titles and country of origin can be found on the website of the Costa Rican film institute.
Recent refurbishments to Parque Morazán can be viewed to the sound of music on Sunday. At 11 a.m., the Banda de Conciertos in San José will be performing at the park's Templo de la Música.
Other free shows are happening in Heredia and Liberia as well. Information can be gathered at the cultural ministry's website.
San José's Barrio Amón will be offering over 14 hours of recreational, artistic and cultural activities beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday, organizers said.
The Festival Amón Cultural in the historic neighborhood is being sponsored by the Unidad de Cultura y Deporte del Centro Académico de San José of the Tecnológico de Costa Rica.
Meanwhile in Escazú, the celebration of the Día Nacional del Boyero will be held at the Plaza de San Antonio beginning this Saturday. The crafts and food fair will start today at 9 a.m. The celebrations will continue into next Sunday with feasting, parading, partying, and lots of oxen with their famously and extensively decorated ox carts.

Sessions recuses himself
Russia investigations
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has recused himself from any federal investigation of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Sessions met with reporters Thursday after The Washington Post reported that as a U.S. senator and member of the Trump campaign, Sessions held two pre-election meetings with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak but withheld that information during his confirmation hearing.
Questions have hovered whether Sessions talked about the campaign with the ambassador. Some lawmakers from both parties demanded Sessions recuse himself, while some Democrats said he should resign, accusing him of lying under oath.
President Donald Trump, who earlier said he does not think Sessions should recuse himself, called his attorney general an honest man who could have stated his response at the hearing more accurately.
"The Democrats are overplaying their hand. They lost the election and now they have lost their grip on reality. It is a total witch hunt," the president's statement said.
At Sessions' Jan. 10 confirmation hearing, Sen. Al Franken, a Democrat, asked Sessions what he would do if there were any evidence that anyone in the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government.
"I'm not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate a time or two in that campaign, and I didn't have, did not have, communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it," Sessions replied.
He told reporters Thursday that he never had any intention to mislead anyone and that his answers were honest and correct as he understood the question at that time.
But he said that in retrospect, he should have slowed down and admitted to meeting one Russian official a couple of times. That would be the ambassador, he added.
Sessions said Thursday his meetings with Kislyak, first at the Republican National Convention in July, and then in his Capitol Hill office in September were part of his job as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and that so many other ambassadors also wanted a meeting.
Sessions said he and Kislyak talked about terrorism and Ukraine, describing the meeting as testy at one point when the matter of Russian involvement in Ukraine came up.
Sessions said Thursday that he decided to recuse himself in any investigation into alleged Russian interference in the election upon the recommendation of his staff at the Justice Department. He said no one should see his decision as confirmation that any probe is currently under way.
The attorney general is the top law enforcement officer in the United States. The White House and Republicans accused Democrats of playing politics with the issue.
Meanwhile, the White House confirmed to The New York Times on Thursday that Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, had met with Kislyak and former national security adviser Michael Flynn at Trump Tower in New York in December.
White House spokeswoman Hope Hicks said the purpose of the meeting was to establish a line of communication. She said Kushner had also met with representatives of as many as two dozen other countries, which is common with an incoming administration.
The USA Today newspaper also reported Thursday that two Trump campaign national security experts met with Kislyak at the Republican convention in Cleveland.
There is nothing untoward about foreign governments meeting with members of an incoming U.S. administration.
But for months, the Trump administration denied that there had been any contacts between anyone in the campaign and Russian officials. Out of all the countries whose representatives met with Trump officials, only Russia is accused of hacking into Democratic Party emails in an effort to help Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the November election.
Trump fired Flynn after just 24 days on the job after information emerged that Flynn had lied to top officials about the nature of his own conversations with the Russian ambassador.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, which is part of the Justice Department that Sessions heads, is probing alleged Russian activities aimed at disrupting the U.S. election and any possible links between the Trump campaign and the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Senate Intelligence Committee is carrying out its own probe, and the House Intelligence Committee announced guidelines for its investigation on Wednesday.
Amazon rainforest cultivated
by early indigenous peoples
By the Science Daily press staff
We often think of the Amazon rainforest as a vast expanse of nature untouched by humans. But a new study in Science suggests that's not true. In fact, today's rainforest is shaped by trees that were cultivated by indigenous peoples thousands of years ago.
"Some of the tree species that are abundant in Amazonian forests today, like cacao, açaí, and Brazil nut, are probably common because they were planted by people who lived there long before the arrival of European colonists," says Nigel Pitman, the Mellon Senior Conservation Ecologist at Chicago's Field Museum and a co-author of the study.
The team made the discovery by overlaying data from more than 1,000 forest surveys on a map of more than 3,000 archaeological sites across the Amazon. By comparing forest composition at varying distances from archaeological sites, the analysis generated the first Amazon-wide picture of how pre-Columbian peoples influenced Amazonian biodiversity.
The study focused on 85 tree species known to have been domesticated by Amazonian peoples for food, shelter, or other uses over the last several thousand years. The researchers found that throughout the Amazon basin, these species were five times more likely to be common in mature upland forests than non-domesticated species. In some parts of the basin, domesticated species were found to be both more common and more diverse in forests closer to archaeological sites.
The finding promises to heat up a long-simmering debate among scientists about how thousands of years of human settlement in the Amazon basin have influenced modern-day patterns of Amazonian biodiversity. The immense size of Amazonian forests has historically hampered archaeological research and given the impression of an untouched landscape, but a large number of new archaeological sites have been discovered in recent years.
The team, made up by hundreds of ecologists and social scientists worldwide, was led by Carolina Levis, a PhD student at Brazil's National Institute for Amazonian Research and Wagenigen University and Research in the Netherlands.
"For many years, ecological studies ignored the influence of pre-Columbian peoples on the forests we see today. We found that a quarter of these domesticated tree species are widely distributed in the basin and dominate large expanses of forest," Ms. Levis said.
The study also pinpointed regions of the Amazon that today concentrate especially high diversities and large populations of domesticated species. Southwestern Amazonia, where large stands of Brazil nut trees remain a foundation of local residents' livelihoods, is one such example.
Other regions showed fewer domesticated species, or a weaker relationship between domesticated species and archeological sites, highlighting the need for more research on the history of Amazonian settlement. The degree to which the recent history of Amazonian settlement has affected the distribution and abundance of domesticated species in the Amazon also remains to be studied.
While the small number of domesticated species used in the study was sufficient to reveal a strong human signal in modern forests, the authors point out that the signal may be even stronger than they documented, since hundreds of other Amazonian tree species were used by pre-Colombian peoples and also deserve study. Untangling the complex interplay of historical, environmental, and ecological factors structuring the 16,000-species Amazonian tree flora remains a focus of the team's work.
50 governments discuss
gap in global health funding
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
A threatened gap in global health funding because of a new ban on some U.S. aid prompted a hastily called international meeting of about 50 governments in Brussels Thursday. The major concern is continuing to support family planning services for poor countries.
At an estimated $10 billion a year, the U.S. provides the lion's share of funding for global health services. But, as one of his first acts, President Donald Trump signed a decree prohibiting foreign non-government organizations that provide abortions or abortion counseling from receiving U.S. money, even if the groups use separate money for those purposes.
The move has raised alarm among international leaders, who see family planning, one of many services provided by the organizations, as a necessary and effective means of helping lift developing countries out of poverty. Leaders are also worried that a lack of U.S. funding will result in a rise in unsafe abortion practices.
Countries that gathered at a hastily called meeting said they hope to raise $600 million for family planning programs if the Trump administration revokes U.S. aid.
The first $100 million in pledges toward that goal has been made, the attendees said.
Jen Kates is the vice president and director of Global Health and HIV Policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation, a U.S. public health think tank and advocacy organization.
She said the proposed ban on U.S. funding is broad and would affect much more than family planning services. She said funding for other services that a non-government organization provides also is in jeopardy.
"It couldn't receive U.S. HIV support, for example, or maternal and child health support, if it did services with non-U.S. money," she said. "So that just opens up the reach of this policy to a much wider range of organizations, which I think has led to some greater concern and urgency and more reaction from a wide range of groups about the implications."
Previous U.S. bans have been enacted under Republican administrations dating back to President Ronald Reagan. They have involved withholding U.S. support for family planning services to NGOs that provide abortions or abortion counseling.
U.S. faces worst crisis
with opioids in 60 years
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
The United States has its worst heroin and opioid crisis in more than 60 years. In 2015, mostly due to the heroin and opioid painkiller epidemic, more than 52,000 deaths in the U.S. were related to drug overdoses, the highest number in U.S. history, according to the State Department's International Narcotics Control Strategy Report released Thursday.
William Brownfield, the Assistant Secretary for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, said that the incredible demand is domestic, but that 100 percent of all heroin, and the great majority of all synthetic drugs that are used and abused in the United States, come from other countries.
He estimates that between 90 and 94 percent of all heroin consumed in the U.S. comes from México and that as little as 2 to 4 percent of it comes from Colombia. The remainder, around 4-6 percent, comes from Asia, mainly from Afghanistan.
The U.S. has more communities, more families, more regions and towns confronting an explosive drug addiction problem related to heroin, opioids and to fentanyl and other synthetic drugs now than in the immediate post World War II era.
Brownfield said the potent and wildly addictive drug fentanyl is mostly coming in its raw form from China. He said it processes through México, where it enters into that trafficking stream and moves north into the United States and Canada.
"And it then becomes an exceptionally dangerous product in the United States," said Brownfield, "because fentanyl is 10 to 50 times as potent as heroin, and when the user does not realize that he or she is consuming fentanyl and not consuming heroin, the likelihood of overdose and death is extremely increased."
Brownfield had high praise for China for working with the United States to control fentanyl and 130 new synthetic drugs, saying this is saving lives in the U.S. He said cooperation between the U.S. and China has improved "astronomically" during the past four years.
He was asked about whether President Donald Trump's plan to build a wall along the U.S. southern border with México would help stop the flow of heroin and other drugs.
Brownfield said the U.S. and México have developed a law enforcement "cooperative wall" at this point without having the physical construction of a wall. But he said since the president has been clear on his intentions to build a wall, the State Department will integrate any new realities into their efforts to curb drug trafficking across the U.S.-México border.
Brownfield said the State Department has determined for more than 20 years that the U.S. and México share responsibility for the drug problem, and that it requires shared solutions.
He added that though the U.S. drug epidemic is unprecedented, the United States is also much better positioned with the mechanisms and international cooperation it has in place today to confront the crisis than it would have been 20 years ago.
Vice President Pence caught
using his private email, too
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence often used a private email account to discuss official business while he was the governor of Indiana.
Emails released to The Indianapolis Star in response to a public records request showed Pence used his personal AOL account to discuss potentially sensitive issues with his top advisers. The Star reports that while Indiana law does not forbid public officials from using personal email accounts, Pence used his to discuss security issues such as the state's response to terror attacks.
The Star reports that Pence's personal account was hacked last summer.
Pence's office said in a written statement Thursday: "Similar to previous governors, during his time as the Governor of Indiana, Mike Pence maintained a state email account and a personal email account. As Governor, Mr. Pence fully complied with Indiana law regarding email use and retention."
Concerns regarding the use of private email accounts and servers plagued former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton throughout her bid for the presidency of the United States. In fact, Pence fiercely criticized Clinton during the campaign, accusing her of exposing classified information to potential hackers.
Pakistan moves to merge
tribal areas with province
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
Pakistan is moving to merge its troubled tribal areas with Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, in part to crack down on extremist groups that have sought refuge there, allegedly plotting and launching terror attacks elsewhere in the country and across the border in Afghanistan.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's Cabinet on Thursday approved the recommendations of a consultative committee that was formed in November 2015 to examine how to carve out a better future for the poverty-wracked Federally Administered Tribal Areas, depriving groups like the Taliban of support and recruitment grounds.
The plan still must be approved by Parliament. If enacted, it would set up a five-year merger process, a 10-year development plan and a major upgrade of the legal system, including an additional 20,000 police officers in the sprawling region where lawlessness has been rife under direct federal control.
"Time has come that the tribal people will be brought into [the] mainstream to end their sense of deprivation," Radio Pakistan quoted Sharif as saying.
While the merger is touted as critical to bring the area into the political mainstream and tackle the underlying causes of extremism by creating jobs and improving the local economy, some also see it as a political move by Sharif's government to win support of tribal people in next year's elections.
The recommendations were the result of discussions with 3,500 tribal leaders and elders, representatives of all political parties, traders, lawyers, youth and tribal parliamentarians, then input from the National Security Committee. A media campaign resulted in 30,000 comments from the public.
Pakistan and Afghanistan have long accused each other of failing to crack down on extremist groups that have claimed responsibility for deadly attacks in both countries, particularly from strongholds near their border.
The attacks have intensified mistrust between the two neighbors, preventing them from cooperating effectively to fight Islamic State and other groups that seem intent on destabilizing both governments.
After a rash of recent terrorist bombings that killed more than 150 people in Pakistan over several days, the government ordered the border closed two weeks ago and gave Afghanistan a list of alleged terrorists that it wanted arrested and handed over immediately.

|Asphalt laying to
close Heredia road
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Night work for the improvements to the road between Jardines del Recuerdo and La Pozuelo will shut down the road beginning at 10 p.m. tonight.
Asphalt is being laid as part of the final installment for the road project for the colloquially named "Y Griega," to allow a U-turn to Heredia. The road is located near the border between Heredia and San José provinces where Ruta 3 splits from Heredia's 106 road.
The split will be closed tonight until 5 in the morning the next day, officials at the Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Transportes announced Thursday. This schedule will be repeated until 5 a.m. Sunday.
The public works ministry also said that those commuters trying to get to Heredia should continue past the roundabout to the Juan Pablo II bridge. The road will open up again completely at 4 a.m. on Monday, officials said.
The ministry emphasized to drivers that between dawn on Saturday and dawn on Monday, both directions of traffic will be normal. The difference is that the U-turn cannot be used, officials said.
Harassment stopped by off-duty cop
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
A man was arrested Thursday after sexually assaulting a woman who was apparently waiting for the train at the station.
The incident occurred at La Estación del Pacífico in San José close to the Biblioteca Nacional.
The man who touched the woman inappropriately did not expect that an off-duty police officer would be walking by and witness the aggression. The police officer called some of his colleagues who took the suspect immediately to a judge. The case remains ongoing, police said.
"We should acknowledge that this police officer was on his day off and, nonetheless, he complied with his duty", the Fuerza Publica said in a press release.

Federal agents search Caterpillar's facilities
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
Federal law enforcement agents have searched three facilities of the American heavy-equipment manufacturer Caterpillar Inc. in the U.S. Midwest.
Caterpillar spokeswoman Corrie Heck Scott said in an email that the company, the world's largest manufacturer of mining and construction equipment, was cooperating with law enforcement, but gave no further details about the searches Thursday.
Later in the day, Caterpillar said in a statement, "We believe the execution of this search warrant is regarding, among other things, export filings that relate to the CSARL matter."
Two years ago, the Securities and Exchange Commission launched an informal investigation relating to CSARL, Catepillar's Swiss subsidiary founded by the company back in 1999, and asked the company to preserve relevant documents.
The SEC spokesman in Washington declined to comment on the raids Thursday.
Federal agents with search warrants entered three Caterpillar offices in Peoria, Illinois, and the surrounding area.
News of the searches sent Caterpillar shares tumbling more than four percent on U.S. stock exchanges within hours. Caterpillar reported $38.5 billion in sales last year, but that was an 18 percent decline from 2015.
Sharon Paul, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Illinois, said the searchers were agents from the Internal Revenue Service's criminal investigation unit, the U.S. Department of Commerce's office of export enforcement and inspectors from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which investigates banks.
The Commerce Department said its office of export enforcement focuses on sensitive exports to hostile entities and prohibited foreign boycotts, among other things.
Caterpillar has faced a number of investigations in recent years focusing on its business practices, according to filings with the SEC.
Most recently, in 2015, a federal court in Illinois subpoenaed the company for documents and information relating to the distribution of profits and movement of cash among its subsidiaries. The Internal Revenue Service has charged Caterpillar $2 billion in unpaid taxes and penalties in that case, but the corporation said it is vigorously contesting the tax demand.

Small Business Lending is the Major Driver
After the financial crisis in 2008, banking and financial institutions are trying to deleverage traditional market and market loss risk by divulging in alternative lending activities such as crowdfunding, peer to peer lending. This has led to the reduction of loan finance for small and medium-sized businesses and individual borrowers as they are considered to be risky by the traditional banks as they might not be able to repay the loans at all. The P2P lending industry has successfully filled a massive and long required need for an alternative lending platform other than the traditional banking system. The evolution of technology has led to easy access capital for micro, small and medium enterprises.
Peer to peer lending companies have stepped-in, to capitalize on the opportunity available to help grow small business borrower's needs. Alternative small business lending platforms use machines and digital tools to provide credit facility to a wide range of small businesses quickly and efficiently, predominantly to those who have been rejected by banks. Thus, small businesses act as a major end user in peer to peer lending market. For instance, small businesses form the backbone of the U.S. economy of all jobs, according to the U.S. small business administration. And these businesses need capital in order to grow.

Asia-Pacific is a Lucrative Peer to Peer Lending Market
P2P lending market share took off in China in 2015 and have attracted much investment as well as controversies. Investors were frustrated by the low rates offered by traditional banks in China, so P2P service providers have replied too well to banking also known as shadow banking in lieu of finding better returns. The P2P lending market uses online platforms and allows effective access for borrowers and lenders. In China, the model has been quickly adopted by alternate banking systems and has also attracted significant venture capital. Over the past two years, the P2P lending market share of companies in China has nearly tripled. Despite some of China's headline-grabbing P2P lending market scandals, both the supervisory environment and business quality for P2P loans are improving. In 2015, the Chinese government released a new set of rules targeting peer to peer loans. These rules are aimed to offer much-needed protection to investors as well as operational guidelines for P2P operators.

Lesser Operating Cost and Low Market Risk
P2P lending is a type of crowdfunding which involves the easy availability of loans outside of the traditional consumer banking system by providing borrowers a platform to interact with lenders, or investors, via the P2P lending service providers. The use of Internet platforms reduces costs by excluding operational expenses which are associated with the traditional banking system, such as the cost of maintaining and staffing, physical branches etc. In some cases, this cost saving is passed to borrowers through lower interest rates than those offered by traditional banks.
In general, a bank would sit in between the two parties, taking the risk but also the bulk of the return. For example; the marketplace model offered high returns to lenders at a time when interest rates are at historic lows and the UK stock market has been volatile.
According to data from peer-to-peer finance association, peer-to-peer lending has been growing very fast and provided £1.6bn ($1.76bn) in loans at the end of June 2016.
The peer-to-peer websites offer a protection from market losses incurred due to non-payment of loans by maintaining certain funds. Example: Zopa has established the Zopa Safeguard Trust, which currently holds £9.6m ($10.56m) to cover any losses incurred due to non-payment of loans. Also, peer-to-peer lending allows one to participate in pools of loans, thus, limiting the market risk which got evident during the recession period.

Peer to peer (P2P) lending is also referred as marketplace lending. P2P lending is among the fastest growing segment in the financial lending market. It is an alternative of lending money virtually. The core functioning of marketplace lending platforms is connecting consumers/borrowers with investors/lenders, majorly through online medium.
Peer to peer lending industry is gaining popularity as it removes the role of bankers between the borrower and lender, also offers lower rates to borrowers and higher returns to lenders. The student loan and small business loan segments are the fastest growing segments in peer to peer lending market with high demand in China and in some Latin American countries. China's P2P industry has grown nearly eight fold between 2012-2015 periods. Although the lending market is still dominated by traditional banks, the knowledge and feasibility of alternative market place lending business model is increasing the market share and is expected to increase in the future. As compared with the traditional banks, peer to peer lending has lesser interest rates, money security, small investment loan additions, and lesser investment cost as it is mainly online.
P2P and OPB (Online platform based Business lending) has emerged to make things easier for people as well as businesses who face difficulty in getting loans only because of their low credit profiles.
The market is dominated by North America and especially the U.S. After 2008 recession and markets instabilities, borrowers started to opt more for alternative means to obtain money and avoid severe money losses and market insecurities. Hence, small merchants seeking loans for their business or to pay off small debts started to shift from traditional bank-led models to marketplace lending platforms. There has been a rapid increase in P2P lending in case of small business loans and consumer credit loans and countries of Asia-Pacific such as China are anticipated to leave U.S. behind in the coming years. On the other hand, Europe is mainly dominated by UK where various peer to peer lending platforms are very well established and have deeper market reach, followed by Western European countries.
Peer to peer lending service providers have to face a number of laws such as federal and state laws, lender licensing, securitization, consumer protection and banking laws. Many states do not require lending licenses for commercial loans but the Security Exchange Commission (SEC) threatens the complete industry by asserting jurisdiction with a fundamental misunderstanding of P2P lending by stating that P2P lending market share is slowly increasing globally. However, what had started out as a simple one-to-many consumer lending solution has thrived into an authentic investment asset class that has attracted the attention of hedge funds, private equity funds, sovereign wealth funds, business development companies, family offices and other professional investment firms due to the better returns offered. Now, even banks are lending through peer-to-peer lending portals.
Market players in online peer to peer lending platforms such as Prosper and Lending Club directly connect borrowers to lenders by eliminating the need for a bank as an intermediary with lesser chances of market loss and if at all any losses incurred will be endured by investors. In addition, these peer to peer lenders have transformed the banking system into a frictionless, transparent and highly efficient online marketplace lending, thus getting an edge over the traditional lending business. These online companies create a marketplace for lenders and borrowers, where lenders can get a higher rate of return on their investments compared to traditional bank deposits.

Men's Basketball Weekly Update
Posted on October 28, 2008 by Dylan Anderson
The Vikings men�s basketball team has just completed 25 percent of the regular season schedule and they continue to search for their first win.
The Vikings men's basketball team has just completed 25 percent of the regular season schedule and they continue to search for their first win. To the casual observer this may seem to be a setback of epic proportions, but head coach Dave Drabiuk is still optimistic about his squad. "We continue to improve each week and are getting close to playing a complete game. As soon as we can find a way to play a complete 40 minutes, I am positive the result will take care of itself."
On Friday night, the sparse fall break crowd saw the Vikings play host to the MacEwan Griffins. At the end of the first quarter, the Vikings found themselves down by seven points. Prospects seem to pick up as the home squad cut the margin to five at the halftime break. In the third quarter, Augustana briefly held a two point lead as they continued to build on the second quarter momentum. Unfortunately, a hot-shooting and more experienced MacEwan squad took care of business in the fourth quarter. The Griffins cruised to a 90-78 win. The Vikings were out-rebounded 50-27 in the game and surrendered 20 more shot attempts than they took. Guards David Ness and Grady Gibson (ID apparel player of the game) led the Vikings with 14 points each, while fifth year guard Brendin Huculak chipped in 12. David Chytracek had ten points in front of the home crowd, while backcourt running mate Kevin Barnes had eight points. The leading post scorer was Alex Butts, with eight points.
On Saturday, the mercurial nature of the ACAC schedule showed its effects as the difficulties in playing the home-and-home schedule came to the forefront early. After closing out Friday's game with a spirited final three minutes, the Vikings found themselves at the wrong end of the 35-15 first quarter score. Over the next three quarters the scoring was 18-19, 29-25, and 24-19. The Vikings found a level of intensity to match the MacEwan level of skill. The Augustana fans in the crowd outnumbered the MacEwan supporters and made their presence felt. The Vikings used their new-found zeal to close the margin. The second half featured some outstanding team play, punctuated by dynamic individual moments of basketball artistry.
The team has the scheduling bye next weekend and will take the weekend off to re-group and prepare for the next eight games leading into the December break. On November 7th, they will square off against the NAIT Ooks at home.

WinSCP and Putty
WinSCP and SCP
SCP is a secure alternative to FTP\SFTP for securely transferring files between local and remote computer and everything is encrypted.
SCP (Secure Copy) works within SSH which lets you exchange files freely between Linux and Windows. WinSCP is a free SCP client. WinSCP which stands for Windows Secure Copy is a free client for Windows.
One of the most common uses of WinSCP is transferring files between Linux and Windows. For example many Windows professionals prefer to transfer files over to Linux using WinSCP because it provides a Windows Explorer like interface. It has two panels, left for local directory and right for remote directory, where you can just copy and paste or drag and drop files from the Windows area pane to the Linux area pane. It is far easier than knowing which commands to type from within the Linux operating system.
Many professionals also just use their Windows text editor to do the Linux commands and then copy it across using a client utility such as WinSCP.
SSH and Putty
SSH (Secure Shell) is primarily used for remote access to Linux and is a secure alternative for the old and insecure Telnet protocol. The remote connection is authenticated and encrypted. SSH runs on port 22.
Putty is an SSH and Telnet Windows based client utility for remote connectivity. It enables you to login to another computer. So with Putty you can remotely run commands such as cp, mv and so on, on a Linux OS.

Online pharmacy drugs usually do not fall with this category. Another reason pharmacy tech career is booming is the fact that people inside US you live longer resulting in an increasing requirement for health care services. With a large aging baby boomer generation, careers in the medical field are stable choices.
I use Walmart as an example because this is where I get my prescriptions, though the same may be done at any pharmacy that provides discounted generics. However, it can also be clear that getting national certification through PTCB can help your job. A pharmacy specialist certification permits one to cultivate social abilities and frame of mind in shaping someone's self to become best specialist.
They usually work exactly the same hours since the pharmacist, as the pharmacy technician works under close supervision from the pharmacist. The distinctive groups get their roots from ancestors who, during time in the annals of Philippine history, prevailed upon and influenced the predominantly Filipino-Malay race. Don't drink often, only socially, , nor smoke (ever).
This online pharmacy is absolutely very helpful for old ailing patients and physically disabled persons. In Oklahoma, pharmacists are forced to obtain a valid photo identification before dispensing any controlled, dangerous substance. The respiratory therapist's tasks include offering the precise measurements of oxygen or other forms of gas concentrations in the patient's blood in addition to measuring blood alkalinity or acidity levels.
This relates to almost everything beginning your ordering of treatment every one of the way to delivery. If the situation is not treated with an extended time period, it might lead to serious complications including cancer. You see the drug name and strength and go grab the medication.

I have been a Tone it Up fan for several years, and a full member for just over a year. I loosely followed the plan and did some of the videos, but never strictly followed it till recently. Every year, 8 weeks before summer they do their annual Bikini Series. This year is their 5th year and they went BIG. I felt this was no better time to start getting my butt into gear and no better excuse.
The recipes are fantastic, the workouts are sweaty and the support from the community is amazing. Katrina and Karena also are hands on, even with how insanely busy and popular they are. I have had several of my Instagram check-ins liked by them. Always makes my day :) Below are just some of the photos of the food I am eating on this plan.
Chili Lime Shrimp Lettuce Tacos from the main Plan(staple now in this house) and Itty Bitty Bikini Smoothie
Lean clean & green chicken and kale salad with Bombshell Dressing from their 8 Week Bikini Series Plan....soo good!!
Lemongrass Tofu Bowl (obsessed), this isn't from the plan, but Tone it Up Approved!!
What else am I wild for right now?
Sony A6000
I just ordered(tonight) actually this new camera. I have always been a DSLR user, but the size always left me wishing for something with great quality, but smaller. That way I can bring it with me to restaurants or just on my daily outings. I also am obsessed with the fact its a white camera....matches my phone. (such a design nerd at <3). I will let you know all how I love it in a bit. Or you can tell me by the new photos. I get it Monday!! EEEKKK
And finally..
I am sure so many of you know and love Stella & Dot. Well, I have always been admirer from a distance, But after finally ordering a couple pieces from my Sister-in-Laws trunk show, I knew I had to host my own. No regrets. I was able to get a necklace (plus have some credit still available but they have so many nice things and I just can't decide).
Sorry for the cell phone pictures.....new camera will be here soon!!!
