Evidence-Based Care Guidelines will be used to Combat Waste in Medicare Programs
SEATTLE, June 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Connolly Healthcare, a permanent Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), has signed a five-year license agreement with Milliman Care Guidelines.
Connolly will use the Care Guidelines content and software to review Medicare claims in 15 states -- West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado -- plus the territories of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Under federal law, RACs review claims for compliance with CMS reimbursement policies, and identify both underpayments and overpayments. According to CMS, the RAC Program will rollout nationwide by January 1, 2010.
Connolly will use all of the annually updated, evidence-based Care Guidelines products -- Ambulatory Care, Inpatient and Surgical Care, General Recovery Guidelines, Recovery Facility Care, Home Care, Chronic Care Guidelines, and Behavioral Health Guidelines. CMS does not mandate or endorse the use of any specific screening product for medical reviews.
"The breadth and detail of the Care Guidelines enable informed and consistent clinical decisions for the best possible care throughout the entire care continuum," said Scott Harris, Milliman Care Guidelines Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Having access to our evidence-based clinical tools enables quality and audit organizations to effectively manage their review processes and initiatives to improve the care provided for Medicare beneficiaries."

The rising budget is largely due to a new expansion of its Lake Monroe Water Treatment plant.
The old Monroe Oil building is along a section of the B-Line trail set to open this year.
When the recession deepened in 2009, peak power usage plummeted by 12%. That trend should reverse itself this season.
A 15 percent increase should show up on Bloomington residents' water bills within the next 90 days.

Thrifting In and Around Town
By Tony Turner 10/21/10
When was the last time you set foot into a thrift shop or consignment shop? If you haven't been recently you might be surprised at how thrift shopping has changed. "Thrifting" is a fun, exciting, and economical shopping pastime that is sweeping the nation!
Take a look at any home decorating magazine or coffee table book and you will find decorators, designers, and homeowners jazzing up their nests with refurbished, second hand finds from tag sales, flea markets, and thrift shops. Gently used home goods are finding fresh new life in fabulous new ways. Furniture, rugs, lamps, glassware, bric-a-brac, linens, and seasonal goods are in abundance at today's thrift shops and consignment shops, all at deeply discounted prices. Suffice it to say, thrifting is a great way to stretch a dollar.
But it's not just housewares that smart thrifters are searching for. Most shops also carry a nice selection of clothing for the entire family, kid's goods, toys, books, sports equipment, collectibles, antiques, and more.
Shopping at thrift stores may be the closest thing you'll ever have to a real life treasure hunt. You never know what you'll find when you walk into a second hand shop – that's part of the thrill of the hunt! As cliché as it might sound "one man's trash is truly another man's treasure!"
10 Easy Tips For Shopping Thrift and Consignment Shops:
1. Don't be afraid of used. Just because something has been previously owned or used by someone else should not be a deterrent. Remember that you are saving a lot of money!
2. Look for seasonal items, holiday collectibles, and decorations "off-season" (You can often find great deals and better selection of Christmas ornaments in June for example.)
3. Be friendly and courteous to the staff. They will quickly remember you and what you might be looking for, often holding back prime items for you when you come in again to shop.
4. Take cash. Some stores are more willing to haggle or give discounts to shopper's with cold hard cash.
5. Don't go with children. You may want to spend hours browsing aisles of shelves or racks of clothing and this is no fun for kids – especially very little ones.
6. Shop with a friend. Split up the store with you taking one half and her the other. You can cover more ground and bounce ideas off each other, plus make a fun afternoon of it!
7. Shop on sale days. Some thrift stores offer special prices on different days or different times of the month. Most discounts are posted at the front of the stores, or even on their web sites. Sign up for e-mail lists so you can be made aware of special sales.
8. Be open-minded and think outside the box. Wise thrifters are always thinking of new ways to repurpose old castoffs. Often times all is needed to make something "new" again is a needle and thread or an inexpensive can of spray paint.
9. Shop often. Good shops' inventory turns very quickly and you will always find many new items in a week or so.
10. Go with your gut. If something catches your eye and the price is right, put it into your cart. It's guaranteed that if you don't and you go back later for it, it will be gone!

There are no shortcuts to wisdom05/03/2011
If you were wise, what would it be like?
I don't mean "what would you know" – I mean "what would the experience of life be like?" Are wise people different from the rest of us? How do they live?
That's the question Pscyhologist Dolores Pushkar set out to answer in a recently published piece: "What Philosophers Say Compared with What Psychologists Find in Discerning Values: How Wise People Interpret Life".
Pushkar, Etezadi, and Lyster acknowledge that there is no consensus on what defines wisdom, but they propose the following as being key aspects; knowledge, deep understanding of human nature, life contentment, empathy and the flexibility to see issues from others' perspectives.
What does it take to get mentally healthy in 21st century America?05/02/2011
There is no health, without mental health.
May is Mental Health Month—bringing hope and awareness for more than 54 million adults in America who have a diagnosable mental health condition. One and four American adults live with a mental illness that is diagnosable, debilitating and better yet: treatable.
It's estimated that up to half of the more than 54 million people with a mental illness do not seek help. Cost, stigma, lack of information, or insufficient health insurance coverage account for the disparity—with frightening repercussions for individuals, families, society.
Poor mental healthcare is a public health crisis. Regrettably, it effects are widespread. Here are some of the frightful side effects--
- Suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15-24 year olds.
- Older adults with untreated depression and diabetes—die at twice the rate of those who receive effective treatment and care for their depression.
- Research suggests that students ages 14-21 with emotional disturbances or mental health conditions drop out of school at twice the rate of students with other disabilities.
Reforming America's mental healthcare system begins as a grassroots level; by embracing the foundational principles inherent in humanistic psychology.

Obese kids are at higher risk for mental illness -- what are we going to do about it?04/29/2011
A twenty year cohort study in The Australian And New Zealand Journal Of Psychiatry looked at overweight and obese children and their risk of developing of a mental illness later in life. The research found that obese and overweight children have an increased risk for the development of a mood disorder in adulthood when the same overweight trends continued. The research included both sexes; however overweight and obese girls were found to have an even higher risk than boys for developing mood disorders and other mental health issues when the obesity continued on into adulthood.
A first of its kind, the research looks at the psychiatric risk factors associated with obesity and overweight children. While more research is needed—one conclusion can be made. Obesity in American youth is a risk factor for the development of a mental disorder later in life.
Racial bias a key factor in decisions we don't know we make04/28/2011
You might be surprised.
In the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences researchers showed (yet again) that we make many of our decisions around money and overall trust based on our unconscious racial bias.
Psychologists have generally agreed that we have explicit and implicit thoughts that inform our day to day experience. Explicit refers to intentional thinking, decisions and judgments. Implicit thoughts are hidden behind all those good intentions. These implicit biases, or the more technical term for this implicit social cognition have an impact on how we live and work.
Reviews of Guantanamo files confirm: psychologists knew of torture, and tacitly supported it04/27/2011
In 2008 the American Psychological Association issued a resolution saying that psychologists may not work in places where people are tortured, or support torture in any form.
To many of us have done it anyway.
Vincent Iacopino and Stephen Xenakis reviewed Guantanamo Bay (GTMO) medical records and case files of nine prisoners. The records showed that the detainees did tell GTMO medical staff that they were being tortured, tortured with abusive interrogation methods that are clearly defined by the UN as being torture. What they went through was even beyond the Bush administration lax definition of torture.
Despite witnessing the physical and psychological wounds of these nine detainees, medical staff took no action to report the violations. They patched them up and sent them back in.
It gets worse. Medical records show that the detainees were showing signs of psychological problems. Yes, being imprisoned is going to take someone to an edge of psychological despair, but the records showed that there was much more going on. One of the detainees was having nightmares, memory lapses, loss of appetite, depression and suicidal thoughts. He was treated with antidepressants and a chilling recommendation of "You…need to relax when guards are being more aggressive."
Painkiller addiction requires a psychological cure04/26/2011
Is heroin still heroin when it's prescribed?
Alleviating pain was the original intent behind the design, creation and prescribing of pain medications. A well-used type of pain killer is the powerful class of narcotics called opioids. Oxycodone is essentially pure version of heroin develop in 1916. Of course its purity adds to its' addictive quality. The number of prescriptions for opioids has gone from 74 milligrams in 1997 to 369 milligrams in 2007.
Where are all these drugs going? These drugs are going to mothers, fathers, their children and even our elders; to the homeless and the owner of the penthouse on the corner. It's easy to get these drugs and doing so is even validated by the fact that many people are getting them from physicians.
The Food and Drug Administration is taking one small step towards helping end opiate addiction.
The latest efforts by the FDA and supported by the Whitehouse are an attempt to stop the flow of the drug. They are recommending a four part approach:
Rediscovering Virginia Satir - and fighting for self-esteem04/25/2011
Are women who choose to breastfeed their babies seen as less competent?
The surprising answer is yes, according to the latest research. In the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Researchers Smith, Hawkinson, and Paull report findings that suggest prejudice against women who choose to breastfeed their children. The research findings report that women who breastfed were viewed as less competent, capable and intelligent. They were less likely to be hired, to be viewed as competent in analytical disciplines, and more likely to be viewed in a sexualized manner.
Furthering this research, researchers Schooler, Ward and Merriwether found a link between risky sexual activity, decision-making processes and feelings regarding women's reproductive capacities. Published in the Journal of Sex Research, researchers found that greater societal shame and ignominy regarding natural menstruation cycles led to higher levels of sexual risk taking. Essentially, the shame a woman has regarding her body increases her willingness to take risks in sexual activity.
We have a big societal problem. Women's natural reproductive and physiological functions have become the scapegoat in society's messed-up psyche, causing the self-esteem of individual women to plummet.
We need to take action: but we don't need new tools. A pioneering psychologist has already developed them.
Psychology's "how to" guide to relationships04/22/2011
Human beings are social creatures, and so it's no surprise that when we're not trying to get in relationships we're managing relationships, and when we're not managing relationships we're complaining to our friends about how we need to be in one.
What is surprising is that for all the time, energy, and thought we put into our relationships, most of us are not very good at getting them right.
Admit it. Don't worry, you're not alone.
An article in Psychology Today, entitled A Message of Hope for Anyone Seeking a Relationship, looks looks at three core constructs that form the basis of all growth facilitating relationships.
Here's a glimpse of what relationship guru Ken Page suggests:
Beyond the Inhaler: a whole person approach to treating asthma04/21/2011
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have found that children with asthma are successfully managing their symptoms using complementary and alternative medicines and practices like prayer and relaxation.
This research adds to a growing body of research that could help doctors and community health care providers gain insights in to helping a community of children self-manage their asthma.
Children living in urban centers in the United States are more likely to suffer from asthma than their suburban or rural peers. The field of pediatrics has been working on ways to help these youth live better lives despite their condition. Traditional treatment methods such as using inhalers or the pill form of asthma medications are effective at dealing with the physical symptoms.
But we also know that asthma can undermine a child's experience of daily life. Every day they are burdened with the need to manage their physical health. They must live in complete awareness of what's happening in their bodies at all times because they may or may not know when or where the next asthma attack may happen. The need for coping skills is critical for their overall well-being – and spiritual and alternative approaches were found to have significant benefits for asthmatic children.

ATS 2012, SAN FRANCISCO Prior treatment with inhaled corticosteroids in patients with respiratory disorders who develop community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is associated with a lower incidence and severity of parapneumonic effusion, according to a new study from researchers in Spain.
A parapneumonic effusion is a type of pleural effusion (excess fluid that accumulates between the two pleural layers, the fluid-filled space that surrounds the lungs) that arises as a result of a pneumonia, lung abscess, or bronchiectasis.
"Long-term treatment with inhaled corticosteroids is associated with an elevated risk of CAP in patients with COPD, while at the same time, use of inhaled corticosteroids is also associated with less CAP severity and a lower risk of pneumonia-related mortality," said Jacobo Sellares, MD, PhD, associate faculty member at Hospital Clnic The August Pi I Sunyer Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBAPS) in Barcelona, Spain. "In our study, prior treatment with inhaled corticosteroids in patients who developed CAP was associated with a lower incidence and less severity of parapneumonic effusion, regardless of the patient's baseline chronic respiratory condition."
The results will be presented at the ATS 2012 International Conference in San Francisco.
The single center study enrolled 3,602 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of CAP. Of these, 659 (18%) had respiratory disorders treated with inhaled corticosteroids before CAP was diagnosed. Respiratory disorders included COPD (56%), asthma (13%), bronchiectasis (6%), and other disorders (25%).
Patients with prior treatment with inhaled corticosteroids, compared with those without, had a significantly lower incidence of parapneumonic effusion (5% vs. 12%). This association remained significant after adjustment for age, sex, comorbidities, and CAP severity. Prior corticosteroid treatment was associated with a higher incidence of simple parapneumonic effusion and a lowe

From the Managing Editor
We've recently been busy bringing up to date our master list of all the articles we've published in Transitions Abroad over the past 21 years. That's well over 2,000 articles by independent travelers since the summer of 1977, everything from "Bicycling Down the Nile" to "Work in Antarctica" to "Renting an Apartment in Paris." All those articles are a testament to the many travelers over the years who ventured overseas not for casbah bargains or for a snapshot of themselves in front of the Eiffel Tower, but for a true connection to and understanding of a different people and culture.
We call it Learning Travel, and it was a relatively new concept in 1977 when Clay Hubbs founded the magazine in his basement. Soon opportunities spiraled: Study Abroad programs proliferated on campuses; adult continuing education blossomed and soon included language and cross-cultural study; young people began to look out over the oceans for work.
For 21 years we've grown and changed with the definitions of Learning Travel, and we've continued to publish the work and experiences of our fellow travelers. And so, as we went over that master list of articles, occasionally I'd hear "Whoa!" or "Cool!" coming from some part of the office. Even two decades after an article was written it can still inspire a fellow traveler. As we celebrate our 21st birthday this month, we give our thanks to our many travelers and writers--may you inspire more cries of "Cool!" over the years ahead.

You Don't Know Jack About Web Site Usability
Whenever I hear an SEO (define) or SEM (define) professional talk about creating a better user experience or an improved search experience, I wonder whether I'm listening to a beautifully orchestrated sales pitch or a well-informed scientific analysis. Search usability is certainly a hot topic in the SEO industry as a unique selling proposition (USP). But who are the search usability experts, and who are just blowing hot air?
Usability Testing vs. Focus Groups
How are Web site usability and SEO related? Web site usability has a direct impact on a site's overall link development. Many sites contain similar information and appear at the top of search results. If two sites offer the same information, the site that gets linked to most often is the one with the intuitive interface. In other words, the site with unique content that's easy to use gets the most high-quality links.
There's a reason many Web site owners resort to free-for-all, low-quality links for link development: the site stinks. And it's tough to admit that a Web site isn't user friendly.
Flash isn't currently search-engine friendly. If a site owner wants to implement Flash technology on his site, user testing should be part of the equation. If users can complete the desired tasks (add to cart, enroll in class, subscribe to newsletter, etc.) with Flash technology, then go with it. The SEO professional must find other text within the site to optimize. But if users have a hard time completing the desired tasks, question the implementation of the Flash technology, or even AJAX (define), on the site.
One of my clients is working with a well-known Web site usability company on a Flash interface for part of his company's Web site. He brought me on board because he wanted to be sure the site's search usability won't be compromised. I like working with other usability professionals. I always learn something useful.
My client, who's quite clever, decided to quiz the usability company's people on their methodologies:Client: Did you test these prototypes on actual users?
My client picked up the phone and called me immediately. I felt his pain. Of course, I'm more than happy to run some real usability tests for him, and I certainly empathize with his frustration.
Usability Testing Is a Must
I strongly encourage all Web site owners and SEO professionals to read books and articles written by highly educated and experienced usability experts, such as Jakob Nielsen, Jared Spool, and Eric Schaffer. I always appreciate seeing their recommendations implemented.
Nonetheless, all three usability experts publish their guidelines as guidelines. A true Web site usability professional will test those guidelines on a specific group of people who fit a profile. Many general usability principles test well on a specific user group, but many don't. Just because an SEO professional implements usability principles doesn't mean he's a usability expert. The missing ingredient?
You must observe targeted users interacting with an interface. You must be objective. You must not lead users into completing a desired task with your feedback. In other words, you have to shut up and listen.
I can't tell you how often I hear SEM professionals who specialize in search engine advertising claim they understand the user experience. What they understand is A/B testing, multivariate testing, and focus group data. That data is valuable, but they aren't user tests.
Many SEO professionals who specialize in Web analytics and conversion analysis don't test usability. I'm a Web analytics evangelist, but I understand the difference. You can't determine why people don't complete desired tasks from only Web analytics data. The facial expressions, the body language, the direct feedback, the eye-tracking -- all these things come into play during usability testing.
If you truly want to promote your SEO/SEM firm as one that understands the user experience, usability-test or work with a reputable firm that does. Otherwise, you're only giving your personal opinion, not the opinion of and actual data from clients' users.
I can't begin to describe the impact usability testing has had on my SEO and Web development. It's a very humbling experience, every time, to observe actual users interact with my interfaces. I always learn something new. I listen to my SEO/SEM colleagues talk about the user experience all the time, and I know the vast majority of them don't test. I hope that changes in the near future.

Apr 19
Day 1 debrief.
The press don't want me.
They take their ball and helicopter home and wont come out to play.
I have no aircraft.
My plans for the week are scuppered.
I spend the next morning, when I should be flying with a camera crew, ferrying medical teams back and forth to the HLS and seeing catering staff in the clinic, lancing blisters and dressing burns.
By the afternoon I'm rotated onto an aircraft for a few hours and the buzz of swooping over the desert is still fresh and bright.
But I feel like I'm sitting in the wrong seat. I want to be tracking us on a personal GPS, chatting back and forth with the pilot and control. Most of all, I want an overview of what we're doing, where we're going. I want to know what's happening *right now*.
As a medic, that doesn't happen so much. Before I came out here for the first time I asked a pilot colleague for any advice regarding helicopters. He taught me to think of the rotors as a plate spinning on a spike, tilting and whirling. But he also said to me "As the medic, you're a passenger until you land; then once you're on the ground, you come into your own."
And thats all well and good. But I don't want to be a passenger.
I'll wait another year.

Critiquing the B/R 1000 Project: Inside Linebackers
Bloggers, media and sport fans used to heap scorn on Bleacher Report, mainly due to some questionable user-generated content that damaged the site's reputation in its infancy. However, since their big money deal with Turner 18 months ago, they've added some talented and respected names as featured writers and a great deal of their content is now well worth checking out.
One of the featured writers they added to their roster was draft scouting guru and former TJB Podcast guest Matt Miller, who – along with several other film junkies – is spearheading the B/R NFL 1000 project, where they attempt to rank the NFL's top 1,000 players. The project is now into its third year and they've just started releasing this year's results. For more on how the project works go here.
In our ninth installment, we look at their rankings for inside linebackers. To look back at the previous updates go here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
In their top 60 inside linebackers list, Miller and his colleagues rank David Harris 23rd and Demario Davis 55th.
Here's what they said about Harris:
Harris is one of those guys who will seem to always be around. He still provides the Jets just enough of everything that he'll find his snaps, although his reputation still continues to exceed his play.
Read Bent's thoughts after the jump.
Bent, TheJetsBlog.comOn the face of it, these rankings seem about right. If anything, Harris might be ranked a little high, but then again, he had an outstanding first month and these rankings are supposed to reflect the 2013 season as a whole.
While they land in more or less the right place on the rankings list, there are still faults within the analysis that leads Miller and his colleagues to place them where they did.
First of all, they describe Davis as a "two-down linebacker". That's inaccurate, because Davis played over 95% of the snaps.
On Harris, they're correct to note that he struggles to get off blocks and misses too many tackles (interestingly, he had none in the first four games and 13 in the last 12). However, their take on him as a pass rusher – "Harris doesn't have enough burst to be considered a threat to rush the passer. It's not something he's often asked to do" – is off base for two reasons. First of all, while he isn't blitzing as often as he did when Rex Ryan first arrived (2nd most ILB pass rush snaps in the NFL in both 2009 and 2010), he's remained in the top ten for ILB pass rush snaps. Also, he has had above average per-snap productivity – 13th at his position in 2013 and 11th in 2012.
Also, the analysis harps on Davis' limitations in coverage, when in reality that's more of an issue for Harris and the Jets scheme around this accordingly. Harris will often be tasked with spying a quarterback or keying a runner, but most of the time, he just works underneath in zone coverage so he isn't forced to cover too much ground. The analysis praises his ability to break on routes to the flat (having earlier highlighted his lack of burst), but as we will all recall from the Panthers game, it was possible to exploit him in such situations.
For the list as a whole, while it's refreshing to see an ILB ranking list that doesn't just correspond to tackle numbers, the list does seem to correspond pretty closely to PFF's rankings list. It's almost as if they've tweaked their own rankings to tie in broadly with that on the assumption that those rankings will be accurate. However, while they are indeed accurate in terms of being an efficiency rating for how well the player did their job, they don't take into account difficulty of assignment and that's why you end up with the guy in 5th place (Brandon Spikes) struggling to find a job before settling for a one-year, $3m deal, while the guy in 10th (Brian Cushing) had received a six-year deal for $50m+ six months earlier.
We'll continue to keep an eye on this project over the offseason.

Pac-12 women's preview: Road to title goes through Stanford
It starts with Stanford. It ends with Stanford. Everyone else is fighting for the right to finish second.
That's the story of Pac-12 women's basketball this season. And really, that's the story for the Pac-12 women every season. The Cardinal are one of the true stalwarts of college basketball, one of the handful of powers that will challenge UConn for the national title on an annual basis.
The numbers are staggering. Stanford has won 30 games in six consecutive seasons. The Cardinal have been to the Final Four in five of the past six years. Chiney Ogwumike is one of the top five players in the country. Tara VanDerveer is one of the coaching icons of the profession. With 10 players returning from last season, don't expect the Stanford train to roll off the track any time soon.
So where does that leave the rest of the conference? More importantly, where does that leave Utah? The Utes are looking for their first NCAA Tournament appearance since Michelle Plouffe's freshman season.
And the conference is unique in its own right. Because of Stanford's dominance it's definitely top-heavy. But it's a league that has some depth and talent as well.
"There is no such thing as a bad team in this conference and that's what our team will have to be ready for," Utah coach Anthony Levrets said. "It's going to be a league that we're going to have to take every game one at a time. Every game will be different from the next. But we're ready. We're excited, and we have an idea of what's coming."
California is probably the one team that can challenge the Cardinal on a consistent basis. Colorado is quick in the backcourt, and talented up front. Washington, UCLA and USC are all getting better as programs. Utah has an All-American candidate in Plouffe and an emerging star in freshman Emily Potter, who has taken up some of the inside scoring slack vacated by Taryn Wicijowski's ACL injury.
But like the Utah men, the women are going to face a grind. The depth of the conference is at its best in recent seasons, with as many as seven teams truly having hopes of going to the NCAA Tournament. That means the Utes will have to play great basketball for 18 games just to survive. Utah lost a lot of close contests last season. Will Levrets and his team have what it takes to be consistent in 2014?

Pac-12 overview
Predicted order of finish
1. Stanford

12. Oregon
Team on the rise
UCLA. The Bruins advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season, and nine players from the team that made that run. Atonye Nyingifa is one of the best forwards in the conference. The rest of the frontcourt is big and tough. Don't be surprised if the Bruins find a way to sneak into the top three.
Team on the decline
Utah. This may not be entirely fair to the Utes, but it applies. With Taryn Wicijowski, the Utes had a legit shot at finishing top six maybe even top five and advancing to the NCAA Tournament. Without her presence up front, Michelle Plouffe will have to be superwoman every night. If Utah isn't careful, it can slip out of the top seven and find itself back in the WNIT. It's almost cruel how big Wicijowski's knee injury is to the overall fortunes of this team.
Stanford's Chiney Ogwumike may not only be the MVP of the Pac-12, she could be MVP of the country. Period. You look at her and it seems like she's been playing college basketball for at least 10 years. But that's a testament to how good she is. She's one of the best power forwards in the country, but has rounded her game out to where she's now comfortable making plays away from the basket. She will be a top five selection in the upcoming WNBA draft, and she's simply one of the premier players in college basketball.
Biggest surprise
How good Washington has gotten in a short time under Mike Neighbors. Before he took the reigns, the Huskies hadn't experienced a 20-win season since 1994. Now, they've done it in two consecutive seasons. Washington is deep and experienced. Jazmine Davis was the freshman of the year in 2012 and first team all-conference last season. Whenever you have a guard who can score like she can, you have a chance.

When the Minnesota high school boys hockey tournament takes over the Xcel Energy Center today, expect passion, offensive chances and large quantities of entertaining play.
You know, all the ingredients of a high-level sporting event that the Wild neglected to deliver during a 3-2 shootout loss to the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night at the X.
After it was over, after the Wild blew a 2-0 lead and played so sporadically that their first shot on goal of the third period required more than 11 minutes and drew derisive cheers, after they were outshot 31-9 in regulation and 31-11 through the overtime, and after the Wild couldn't muster a single goal during the shootout, the players in the Wild dressing room appeared numb.
After reporters approached, forward Owen Nolan broke the silence.
"It's tough to win when you only get 11 shots," he said. "We really didn't generate anything in our offensive zone."
Goaltender Niklas Backstrom, who made 29 saves and spent much of the first 60 minutes warding off one rush after another, eventually yielded a third-period breakaway goal to Michael Frolik plus a later goal by Cory Stillman when the puck slipped off Frolik's stick.
After it was over, Backstrom let it be known that he was not happy.
"We had nine shots, so you know, I don't think we deserved to be in the game in the third period," he said after he was asked about the Panthers' third-period comeback. "It's not good for us.
Strangely, in light of how things proceeded, the Wild grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first period on a power-play goal by Mikko Koivu and a bullet off the stick of Robbie Earl after defenseman Nick Schultz intercepted a pass and set him up.
The Wild led 2-0 when the period ended, but Florida led 12-4 in shots.
Panthers defenseman Keith Ballard, a former standout at the University of Minnesota, said those goals were easy to shrug off because they came via "a power play and a tough line change. It had nothing to do with how we were playing. We felt pretty good."
The Wild must have, too, because they pretty much took the rest of the night off.
"I think we kind of sat on it," Nolan said.
The four shots on goal in the first period represented their high. In the second period they managed three, in the third period two and in the overtime, two more.
"We had our best opportunities in the overtime," Wild coach Todd Richards said.
Panthers coach Peter DeBoer said his team stayed on message, "grinding away."
"I'm sure they're going to say that maybe it wasn't their best offensive effort," DeBoer added, "but give our guys credit."
Richards did exactly that.
"My first impression was that Florida did a good job," he said. "We were chasing them most of the night."
The Wild, already missing forward Cal Clutterbuck because of a charley horse, also lost two blueliners during the game: Shane Hnidy went out with a leg injury after playing less than a minute and a half of the first period, and Brent Burns had about 4 1/2 minutes of ice time in the third period before leaving with a hip injury.
"We've got to be smarter and realize when we lose a D-man," forward Kyle Brodziak said, "we've got to keep it simpler, play in their end as much as we can and give our 'D' a little bit of a break. We didn't do a good enough job of that tonight. You could tell at the end of the game they were pretty worn down."
Although the Wild had the only two shots of the scoreless overtime, with Brodziak and Marek Zidlicky both narrowly missing the net on the best chances, the shootout was nothing to write home about. Four Wild players were stopped by Panthers goalie Tomas Vokoun, and Backstrom stopped three attempts.
After that, Stillman roofed a shot to end it.

I was looking for an alternative to Helen Kaminski's packable raffia hat and found this. I am sure the quality is not the same but it is good for the price. It is not meant to be packable but I have tried and the shape just bounces back. It is comfortable and light. The brim is not too wide (not too trendy) so it is a style that can carry on for future summers.

More strikes and demonstrations were held in Athens, Greece, Tuesday, as debt inspectors returned to see if the country's financial reforms were strong enough for another bailout.
Greece has imposed tax increases and pay cuts to try to get its budget under control and avoid a default on its debts.
Some 10,000 protesters rallied against more cutbacks, saying they've already been hit hard by the government's austerity measures.
But international debt inspectors from the European Union, European Central Bank, and International Monetary Fund are pushing the Greek government for faster cost-cutting reforms.
Mario Draghi, the European Central Bank's president, has warned that the eurozone's debt crisis has gotten worse and that it's now, "very grave."

Enable SOAP schema-validation on client-side?April 28, 2014 - 04:17
How do I enable SOAP schema-validation on the client-side (before sending the SOAP-request to the server)?
I'm calling a SOAP web-service from JEE6-client (running inside Tomcat-app), like:
import javax.xml.ws.Service;
Class<T> serviceClass;
Service service = Service.create(url, new QName(namespaceURI, serviceName));
boolean inbound = true;
boolean outbound = true;
T servicePort = (T) service.getPort(serviceClass, new SchemaValidationFeature(inbound, outbound));
But doesn't seem to work... error is still thrown on the server-side if, for example, a mandatory value is missing.
Anything else I need to do to catch the error on client-side?

Concussion Overview
The term concussion describes an injury to the brain resulting from an impact to the head. By definition, a concussion is not a life-threatening injury, but it can cause both short-term and long-term problems. A concussion results from a closed-head type of injury and does not include injuries in which there is bleeding under the skull or into the brain. Another type of brain injury must be present if bleeding is visible on a CT scan (CAT scan) of the brain.

We desperately need reform and change in Maryland – starting with controlling spending and reducing the tax burden on families and job creators. Making government transparent and more accountable is another top priority for me serving as your Senator.
You can stay in touch with me by signing up for email updates here or by emailing email@example.com. You can also follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.
Together, we're going to make Maryland a place where people can afford to live – not have to leave! Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance to you or your family.
Sen. Justin Ready
District 5 – Carroll County
