CMS 'Interim Final Rule' Pushes Opt-in/Opt-out Deadline to Jan. 1
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) published an "interim final rule" last week that, among other things, would extend to Jan. 1, 2016, the effective date by which dentists must have either enrolled or officially opted out of Medicare in order for prescriptions they write to be covered by Medicare Part D. This proposed rule would also require Part D plans to cover a "provisional supply" of up to 90 days of a medication prescribed by a doctor who has not enrolled or opted out. A Part D plan must notify the beneficiary in writing within three business days that the medication is being covered on a provisional basis because of the prescriber's current Medicare status. Part D plans must also make reasonable efforts to notify the prescriber. After covering the provisional supply and providing the notice to the beneficiary, the Part D plan would be required to reject future claims for the same medication for that beneficiary if the prescription is from the same prescriber. Note that for a dentist to meet the Jan. 1, 2016 effective date, he or she must submit their application at least 90 days before this date to allow sufficient time for processing.
Opt-out form.

Near the front of the grove is the kitchen, which is adjacent to a covered porch where meals are served. Every meal was prepared by some lovely local women, and I would go as far as to say that this was probably the best food that we ate the entire trip.

Tuscaloosa, AL (Sports Network) - JaMychal Green netted 15 points and 10 rebounds in Alabama's 55-49 triumph over Auburn at Coleman Coliseum.
Trevor Lacey had 10 points for the Crimson Tide (20-9, 9-6 SEC), who won their fourth in a row. They'll conclude the regular season on the road against Ole Miss on Saturday.
Kenny Gabriel totaled 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Tigers (14-15, 4-11), who have lost three in a row and six of seven. Auburn, which has dropped five straight to Alabama, will conclude its regular season Saturday at home against LSU.
The Crimson Tide won this game despite shooting just 31.1 percent from the field. The big difference was free throws. Alabama was 24-of-32, compared to 5-of-12 for Auburn.
Also, Auburn struggled by going 4-of-21 from three-point range. The Tigers shot 41.7 percent overall, but hit a wall in the first half that completely change the momentum.
A jumper from Adrian Forbes moved the visitors to a 14-10 lead with 10:18 remaining, but Auburn then went cold from the field and Alabama embarked on a 13-0 spurt.
Alabama held just a 23-21 edge at the half, but lost the lead in the second half. The Crimson Tide went ahead for good at 45-43 on a pair of Andrew Steele foul shots with 5:43 left.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

President Obama's failures in Israel and elsewhere abroad have astonished the international public and left in despair those Americans who can scarcely believe that a whole year has been irresponsibly wasted.
Original: Wikimedia Commons / Scrumshus
Democratic congressional leaders are hitting the pause button while they figure out how to press ahead—if at all—with comprehensive health care reform. The most conservative Democratic senators have made it clear they oppose budget reconciliation, but then the whole point of reconciliation is to avoid the votes of conservative Democratic senators. (continued)
White House / Pete Souza
It's not enough to use variations of the word "fight" more than 20 times in the course of relatively brief remarks, as the president did Friday in Ohio. At some point, he needs to—metaphorically, of course—actually slug somebody.
As part of his State of the Union address Wednesday, the president is expected to call for a three-year freeze on non-military, non-entitlement discretionary spending that amounts to a small fraction of the budget. It's a stunt, for the most part, aimed at soothing budget-conscious independents. (continued)
White House via YouTube
Top White House press-wrangler Robert Gibbs cheerfully unveils the new White House iPhone app in a new promotional video released Monday for the occasion. As jaunty music plays in the background, Gibbs sets the scene in the video by declaring that users can watch him "set the White House press corps straight every day" with the app. Such a card, that Robert Gibbs.
If President Obama has decided to give up on health care reform, he should just come out and say so. Then we could all get on with our lives—those of us with health insurance, that is.
Original: Reagan Library
In a state where Democrats outnumber the GOP by a 3-to-1 margin, little-known Republican Scott Brown defeated his rival by demonizing the government and taxes.
If scored strictly by his legislative attainments, Obama is a highly effective president. In fact, the scrupulously nonpartisan Congressional Quarterly rated him the most effective president of the past five decades, as measured by congressional votes on which he took a position.
There are important lessons from the past year that Barack Obama and his team had better learn if he is to achieve his goal of being a "transformational" president.
Democrats should be worried about the trouble in Tuesday's Massachusetts Senate race that forced President Obama to Boston on Sunday for a last-minute campaign rescue mission.
Televangelist Pat Robertson's post-earthquake commentary about Haiti—more specifically concerning the island nation's alleged pact with Satan—has drawn fire from multiple directions, and now the White House has weighed in via spokesman Robert Gibbs. Meanwhile, CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network), which ran "The 700 Club" clip featuring Robertson's statement, is in backpedaling mode.
It's not time for presidential panic, but lawmakers up for re-election could be in a different boat if Obama's ratings stay in this slump.
Mark Halperin's sleazy new book (the one that snared Harry Reid and beats up on John and Elizabeth Edwards) is proof, writes Glenn Greenwald, that our media aspire to trash and gossip. This story, plus Nixon, Sinatra, Limbaugh, drugs and more after the jump.

The White House will now count all jobs funded by stimulus money, not just those that were created or saved. The job market is still hemorrhaging and the administration might be looking to do a little inflation. Or it might honestly be trying to simplify a confusing and highly criticized formula for counting jobs.
There is broad agreement on the kinds of concessions the Senate can make to the House and still preserve the 60 votes needed for passage of a unified health care reform bill.
The "war on terror" is a self-perpetuating problem with no solution. Worse, it ultimately will destroy America, not from any actions by whatever "enemy" America conjures up, but rather from the actions undertaken by America itself.
After the screw-up comes the inevitable demand for a head to roll. Call it faux-countability, the phenomenon by which someone takes the fall for a mess for which he or she is at most only partly responsible.

Michelle Obama has made the White House garden emblematic of her cause to help Americans cultivate better eating habits, and on Sunday, the "FLOTUS" showed viewers of "Iron Chef" how her garden grows, as she and her vegetable patch made cameo appearances on the popular cooking show.
The more I think about the Christmas all-but-bombing, the angrier I get.
The flawed health care bill could still be improved if the president would stand up to the insurance companies that have, so far, been the most powerful force shaping reform.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs and Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano talk about the recent terror attempt and more on this full episode of "Meet the Press."
The fact is some can play this game and some can't. Nancy Pelosi delivers time and again. Harry Reid hasn't. The president and his chief of staff could use some coaching, too.
Every now and then, an insider inadvertently exposes the hideous rationalizations that run the American political grotesquerie. Such is the case with the president's flip-flop on drug imports.
What does it say when the New York Post hires Eliot Spitzer's prostitute as a columnist and the bailout babies of Wall Street can't be bothered to show up to the White House?
By bowing to Sen. Lieberman and his obstructive pals in both parties on health care reform, Obama has confirmed what Republicans always say about Democrats: They simply aren't strong enough to govern.
There was a nice, albeit fleeting, moment in the spring when hospitals, doctors, drug companies and insurers came together at the White House, pledging to do their part to get health care costs under control.

Few voices in American politics have been as consistent, as reasoned and as moral as his, which is one reason why Mike Gravel, on a chilly December morning, is in front of the White House, not inside it.
Europeans are coming to terms with the fact that President Barack Obama is not a miracle worker, and with the reality that everything he does is not magic.
A who's who of opponents of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan spoke at a rally at Lafayette Park, across the street from the White House, on Saturday. Chris Hedges, Ralph Nader, Rep. Dennis Kucinich and more after the jump.
We have a "regulation czar," but no new regulations. It seems we can expect little from those with a track record of enabling bad policies.

The gravest danger we face as a nation is not from the far right, although it may well inherit power, but from a bankrupt liberal class that has lost the will to fight and the moral courage to stand up for what it espouses.
White House / Lawrence Jackson
There was much disappointment on Tuesday night about Barack Obama's decision to widen the war in Afghanistan, but there can have been no real surprise.
Now it's "Obama's war," but we should not ignore the events that led us to this moment and the inexplicable decisions of the Bush administration.
It seems plausible that payback time has arrived for the international financial community. The principal obstacle here is, at the moment, the Obama administration.
By Mike Luckovich —
So in vogue are attacks on the president that even his proclamation calling the nation to a day of Thanksgiving has become the focus of criticism.
President Obama won't unveil his plans for Afghanistan until next week, but military officials tell the AP he intends to escalate the war by sending up to 35,000 additional troops. Press secretary Robert Gibbs said the plan would include an exit strategy, but that's little consolation for the doves who got Obama elected. (continued)
The opposition's decision to stall and oppose President Barack Obama's judicial nominations smacks of hypocrisy, and further draws into question the majority's ability to govern.
U.S. Marine Corps / Sgt. Mark Fayloga
Any hope that we aren't turning into a full-on slobbering idiocracy was snuffed out last week by two of the Washington intelligentsia's most respected voices.

What's up with Barack Obama? Finally someone has a good idea about how to deal with Wall Street and the White House condemns it.
Modified from an archival White House photo by David Morse
Barack Obama has made a welcome change to the presidency, dropping the praetorian guard that used to flank his predecessor at every opportunity.
Save $110 billion, or spend $6.3 trillion? In recent months, tea party protesters and Congress' so-called fiscal conservatives chose the latter.
President Obama told a gathering of tribal leaders at a rare Interior Department summit that he intended to devote more time and attention to the concerns of American Indians. In closing, he also addressed the Thursday shooting at Fort Hood.
It's been a year since a healthy majority of American voters elected Barack Obama to change the world. Which is precisely what he's doing.
Could the current climate in Washington, D.C., be discouraging lobbyists from practicing their persuasive trade in and around the White House? Or does the downsizing of their ranks have more to do with the economy than the political zeitgeist on Capitol Hill?
White House / Samantha Appleton
The first lady entered the White House with no public agenda and with promises to focus on her children, but a year in, she has already made an impact. Her latest project is a mentoring program meant to inspire local girls by giving them access to some of the White House's powerful women. (continued)
Barring astoundingly self-defeating behavior by Democrats, a decent bill will get to Obama's desk. Whether lawmakers are rewarded or punished for their efforts will largely be decided in the coming weeks.
The battle between the Obama administration and Fox News hasn't ended yet (sigh), but luckily, Jon Stewart takes this timely opportunity to dissect what exactly the conservative-leaning channel's raison d'être is, and here's a hint: It's not necessarily the news.
The White House sounded a triumphant note Friday about the success of the economic stimulus in salvaging and creating close to 650,000 jobs in recent months, but some Republicans, along with the AP, are questioning the accuracy of the government's figures.
AP / David Guttenfelder
President Obama may have won the Nobel Peace Prize, but if he allows himself to be bullied into supporting Gen. Stanley McChrystal's foray into Afghanistan, he will reveal himself as the worst kind of warmonger.

50 words for youMy bones rattle under the stars. I run. You follow. The breath is knocked out of my lungs. We free fall onto the bed of grass sprayed with dew.
"I'm wet."
"I'm sorry." you smile.
We sit and watch the embers fly aimlessly up, then they fade into the sky.
ahI wish I could release my screams
i wish i could punch and jump on a pillow
and birds would fly out
i wish i could then catch the birds and squeeze them until they pop
(and i wish they would make a fun popping sound)
i wish the birds would pop into crumpled paper
and i wish i could rip the shit out of the paper
and toss it in the air where it turns into confetti
and i wish i could make it into a really big pile in a big field
and i wish i could run really fast into the pile
my bare feet thumping against the dew drop grass
and i wish the confetti would fly and turn back into birds
and i wish the birds flew with me as i ran really fast
and i wish the field would end and i'd run off a cliff
and i wish i would fall into the sea
and i wish i could scream out all of my air and turn into a fish
and i wish i could swim as fast as i could
i wish i swam so fast i grew arms and legs again
and i wish i ran right up onto land
and i wish i could run to a bungalow on an island far away
and i wish i c

Lorraine Turley: Murmurings
- 18 November — 5 December 2015
Lorraine Turley studied at the Glasgow School of Art. Her work is concerned with the contextual response to words, memory, relationships and experience. Landscape and text based images are created in response to the written word and memories of places visited. Layered and obscured, the text becomes indiscernible and reads as marks. As a visual image, the work resonates mood, impermanence and continuum. The paintings evoke transient snapshots and memories of places visited. They allow the viewer to create a personal relationship and dialogue with the work and to be transported to a place where sound, light, emotion and image form the experience when looking at the work. The work comes from the imagination: not from photographs or from life, but from the artist's memories of places. They are murmurings from the past - real from imagined.
Oxford Scribes Collections: A Celebration of the Calligraphic Arts
- 9 December 2015 — 9 January 2016
So much more than handwriting!
Oxford Scribes showcase their passion for beautiful hand lettering with a collection of work by current members. Each individual piece is an interpretation of the theme "Collections" (or lists) and celebrates the wide range of media and techniques employed by contemporary artists. Members of Oxford Scribes range from fine, internationally known, professional calligraphers, to complete beginners. They hold regular meetings with speakers and one-day workshops run by first-rate lettering artists. In addition, they undertake commissions, produce an excellent
newsletter, and aim to hold regular high prestige exhibitions in and around Oxfordshire. New members are welcome and need not to be practising calligraphers – just keen to meet others with an interest in fine writing.

This funny, thought-provoking and highly skilled production is the latest offering from Green Ginger, a world-renowned puppetry company specialising in all things strange and surreal.

Jackie Oates and Ben Murray join forces for a special one-off co-headline tour. Jackie Oates is a name synonymous with the reinvigoration of English folk music, beguiling audiences with a delicate balance of tradition and reinvention.

She has collaborated with Alasdair Roberts, Belinda O'Hooley and her brother Jim Moray on material that's ranged from traditional ballads to eerie lullabies and rich contemporary songs. Ben Murray began his career as a founding member of the group Tarras. During his time with Tarras, the band was nominated for 'Best Original Song' at the BBC Folk Awards. Ben also garnered a second nominated for the 'Horizon Award' with his long time collaborative partner Rosie Doonan, with whom he also performs as part of The Mighty Doonans.

"Try and do something with your life. Be deliberate, you know?"
A love song, an elegy, a celebration – Eventide tells the story of three people whose worlds are disappearing. John is a landlord forced to sell up; Liz is a church organist who can't get a gig; Mark takes what work he can just to pay the rent. Their tales unfold round the back of a pub hidden deep in the heart of the Hampshire countryside. But is that heart still beating? Barney Norris won the Critics' Circle and Off West End Most Promising Playwright Awards for Visitors ("Extraordinary" The Guardian, "Heartbreaking" New York Times), which played to sell-out audiences at The North Wall before transferring to the Bush Theatre. Eventide now receives a powerful world premiere production directed by Alice Hamilton.

OCM presents Sarah Nicolls: Moments of Weightlessness
- 28 November 2015 7:30-10pm
Contemporary music pianist Sarah Nicolls is one of the most adventurous in the UK; she plays her unique 'Inside-Out Piano', enabling her to reach inside the instrument more easily to play unusual sounds.

Caught Between Romance Series
"...the perfect beach read!"
Rocky Mountain Romance Series
"Tales of love and redemption, trust and second chances."
Welcome to Serendipity Island and the Caught Between romance series.
Stephanie Goodwin has never met a prince who didn't turn out to be a frog, but she's never allowed her personal feelings about men and relationships to interfere with her job as a wedding planner. Instead, she focuses on giving her clients their dream wedding, a magical day to get them through the trials and tribulations of the years ahead—before everything turns to dust.
Hotshot divorce lawyer, Stone Kincaid, has an aversion to marriage. His experience has taught him that wedding vows only lead to a broken heart that never really heals and an empty bank account. But when he returns to his family's Serendipity Island estate to stop his irresponsible sister's wedding, he encounters the wedding planner from hell—the gorgeous, sexy woman he met and bedded a month ago.
Can a woman with a history of picking the wrong kind of guy find a forever kind of love with a man who fears commitment almost as much as she does?
This story includes a marriage-phobic wedding planner, a hunky divorce lawyer whose attitude toward wedded bliss—and family—is about to change, one really big OOPS, afternoon naughtiness, peanut butter cookies, messy family relationships, and a battle-of-the-sexes secondary romance.
The Caught Between Contemporary Romance Series
Paige Calhoun has spent years concealing the truth about her family. She's got a new life now, centered around her daughter and her career, and there's no room in it for anything—or anyone—else. But when instincts honed at the side of her con-artist dad warn her that her grandma is in trouble, she returns to Serendipity Island…where the web of lies she has told are in jeopardy of being uncovered.
Brody Jackson always thought of Paige Calhoun as the little girl next door. Three years her senior, his sights were set on a football scholarship, and fame and fortune as a pro quarterback. But now he's back home, his career down the tubes, battling the grandma from hell for permanent custody of his teenage daughter…all because of one careless mistake.
Brody's got no time for one hot woman who's messing with his mind and his future. And Paige can't afford to let one gorgeous man distract her from saving the residents of the island from her dad's latest scam. All they both want is a life free from the past. Instead, they're caught between the truth and true love…
This book includes a family-phobic heroine, a hunky hero whose luck—and love life—are about to change, lies, romance, chocolate chip cookies, nighttime shenanigans, a con-artist who swears he's gone straight, teens with their own agenda, and a battle-of-the-sexes secondary romance.
A Rocky Mountain Contemporary Romance
Get in, get out. Never look back.
A midnight summons from rancher Nate Coltrane brings singer Jessie Adams back to the heart of the Rocky Mountains — not to see him again, but to say goodbye to her dying mother. Seventeen years ago, Jessie gave up Nate's child for adoption and she hasn't been home since. How can she sit by her mother's side, surrounded by constant reminders of all she loved and lost? How can she face Nate without telling him the truth about the child he never knew existed?
Nate doesn't think Jessie has the guts to return home and face him, but when she does, he's afraid of losing everything he loves…for the second time in his life. But he's made a promise to her mother. Bring Jessie home. Give the dying woman one last opportunity to heal the rift with her daughter. Nate will do anything for Jessie's mother because if not for her, he might never have known the love of his child.
But sometimes the truth turns out to be a lie…

A woman in need…
ER nurse Harley Jane Davis has dedicated her life to helping others. Now she's the one in trouble, and the only person she can rely on is Gage Toryn—the man she's secretly been in love with for years.
A man on the edge…
Gage would do anything for Harley, except give in to the hungry passion that sparks between them. He's hiding a terrible secret, one guaranteed to destroy any chance at a relationship. And even though Harley haunts his dreams and makes him want to be a better man, he knows she could never love him if she learned about his ugly past.
Family, future, forever…
When a situation with Gage's brother endangers Harley and his nieces, Gage offers them refuge in his home—and the battered pieces of his heart. But can he overcome his fear of commitment and open up about the past? Or will his secret destroy his last chance to have a relationship—and a real family—with the only woman he's ever loved?

Hearts, cupids, and diamond rings!
When Amanda Goodwin returns to Cranberry Cove for her grandma's wedding, all she wants to do is forget about cherubs and chocolates and men who had crushed her heart.
Until, that is, she encounters long time friend, Dane Weatherby.
Amanda hasn't seen Dane since high school, and the nerdy boy she remembers has grown into a hunk of the worst kind…the kind that makes her want more than his friendship.
So what's a girl to do when she's stuck in the middle of all this Valentine-induced romantic madness? Escape back to her lonely life in the city or dive headfirst into the craziness?
Fortunately she's not in this alone. And if Dane has his way, he just might convince Amanda to say I do instead of bah humbug.
