When it counted, the right players came through for the Collins as the Titans beat Anderson County 53-50 Saturday.
After building a 10-point lead in the third quarter, the Titans (6-7) withstood a strong comeback by Anderson County with some clutch plays in the final minutes to gain their third straight win.
"We came out with the attitude we were going to win," Collins guard Jakson Test said. "We want to keep this going. We want every one to hold themselves accountable, to play well, I think we are getting it now."
It's a simple plan for the Collins High School girls' basketball team.
"Free throws and threes," Collins senior guard Michelle Roberts said. "When we make those we can win."
With head coach Sean Pigman out with an illness, the Titans made plenty of both for assistant coach Henry Cottle, pulling off a 69-64 upset of Walton-Verona Monday.
The American Wigeon is fairly common during migration, however, it is uncommon in winter and very rare in the summer in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
The Common Loon is fairly common in Kentucky during migration, a rare to uncommon winter resident and extremely rare in summer. The accompanying photograph was taken on Trailwood Lake in northeastern Shelby County one November of a non-breeding adult in transitional plumage.
With Grant Clarkson and Dominique Turner slashing to the basket and 3-pointer shooters on the mark, the Collins High School boys' basketball team won its opener 72-51 over Gallatin County Tuesday.
"When we shoot well from the outside it creates more help side defense where they stay out on the shooters and it leaves the basket open," Clarkson said. "Plus it's great when we can attack the defense and feed it back out for those guys to have open shots."
The growing pains were evident for the Shelby County girls' basketball team as they beat Fairdale 65-51 on the road Tuesday in their season opener.
"We didn't play real well and most of that has to do with so many people in different roles," Shelby County coach Jason Holland said. "We've got the talent, just not the experience. We missed a lot of quality shots and that was from rushing things and nerves.
"The girls said they weren't nervous, but you could tell they were."
Keeping a relentless pace on both ends of the floor the Collins High School girls' basketball team pulled away from North Oldham in the fourth quarter to win its season opener 56-41 Friday.
The Titans kept the pressure on the Mustangs, breaking open a five-point game in the opening minutes of the final quarter to win going away as a game, but tired North Oldham faltered down the stretch.
At 12-1 the Shelby County High School football team has made a statement all year long that they are a good football team and Friday night they added an exclamation point with a 44-14 rout of John Hardin in the Region 2 finals.
In a game where John Hardin was favored despite a 9-3 record and an easier schedule, the Rockets were able to send yet another message to all those who doubt them.
The Wilson's Phalarope is rarely seen in spring and autumn west of the Cumberland Plateau although it has been seen in eastern Kentucky.
They are seen along shorelines and mudflats of flooded fields and along lakes and rivers and have been seen as early as March 30 and as late as May 28 in the spring and as early as July 3 and as late as Sept. 28 in autumn.
The doubters just add incentive to the Shelby County High School football team.
The Rockets found motivation in the fact that Bulldogs were favored despite Shelby's better record and schedule, and rolled to a 44-14 win at John Hardin Friday to coast to the Region 2 title.
The Rockets (12-1) pushed the lead far enough to force a running clock on the Bulldogs, despite the fact that perennial power John Hardin had reached the regional finals for the seventh straight year.

99 Bottles of Treasure
by Michael Webb
While the weather is still nice, we are more likely to have afternoon picnics at the lake or walks in the woods, exploring rivers and streams. Beaches are also a popular destination that time of year. Wouldn't it be neat if you found a bottle with a note in one of those bodies of water?
I remember when I was a kid (many say I am still one), I would look all over in hopes of discovering a floating bottle with a message inside. I admit I would still like to find one.
The chances of you discovering such a bottle is nearly 100% if you plant it there yourself. The idea is for you to hide the bottle where it is unlikely for anyone else to discover and then take your sweetheart on a picnic or walk for him or her to "discover" the mysterious bottle in the water.
While any old bottle will do, you might want to shop or rummage around for one that is really interesting or at least would make a nice bud vase. My wife really likes the dark blue wine bottles to put on the table with a few flowers in them. The reason for picking out a nice bottle is that it is likely going to be kept as a memento of the wonderful romantic surprise you pulled off.
What you put inside the bottle is completely up to you. It can be as simple as a love note or as creative as a treasure map (soaked in hot tea and with its edges burned off to make it look aged) that will lead your darling to a present you have hidden or buried, or even a picnic that you have secretly prepared in the woods or park.

Peppers at 10, which seems low.
Cazzie Russell
Cazzie Russell to be honored
U of M basketball great, Cazzie Russell, will be honored at the 20th Annual Legends of the Hardwood Breakfast.
It is being held in conjunction with the Final Four and the National Association of Basketball Coaches Convention in Houston on the weekend of April 2 - 4.
2016 Coach Wooden "Keys to Life" Award Winner Cazzie Russell
Russell grew up in Chicago and was the Chicago Sun-Times Boy's High School Player of the Year in 1962. He went on to earn All-America honors at the University of Michigan while leading them to three consecutive Big Ten championships and two Final Four appearances, losing to defending National Champion UCLA under John Wooden. In 1966 he was named College Basketball Player of the Year, averaging 30 points a game. Russell was the first player taken in the 1966 draft by the New York Knicks and had a 12-year career in the NBA where he won the NBA championship in 1970 with the Knicks and was named an all-star in 1972 with the Golden State Warriors. He went on to coach in the CBA and most recently at the Savannah College of Art and Design for 13 seasons. He is currently an associate pastor at Immanuel Baptist Church in Savannah, Georgia.
Meeting Cazzie Russell
My wife and I are heading south at the end of the month and are staying in Savannah, GA for a day and a half. I was hoping to meet Cazzie Russell there and have been trying to set this up but the church he was last at (Live Oak in Savannah) appears to have closed. Cazzie is my first sports hero and has remained highly respected. This is a "bucket list" sort of goal on my part and would appreciate any information the board can give me. Is he still living in Savannah?
Thanks very much!

Cazzie Russell: "Cager for the Ages"
As the Michigan basketball team returns to its traditional place among the nation's elite programs, Alan Glenn, in a Michigan Today piece, looks back a half-century at another time when the program resurrected itself, led by Cazzie Russell, Cager for the Ages
Bob Cantrell played in the Wolverine backcourt before and after Russell's arrival. "The first two years were really torture," he told an interviewer in the '70s. "The roof [at Yost Field House] leaked, there were no fans, we lost all the time. It was just unbelievable. We only had about 200 people at one game, I remember. Everything was football. Basketball was the big joke. If you were a basketball player, everybody looked at you like you were a freak. Then, overnight, they knew who you were. All of a sudden, we were the number one team in the country."
Of course Michigan's reversal of fortune wasn't quite that abrupt, and it wasn't all due to Russell. Coach Dave Strack had been building up the team since 1960, and by 1963 the Wolverine lineup overflowed with talent: Cantrell, Bill Buntin, Larry Tregoning, George Pomey, Oliver Darden. But it was Cazzie Russell who emerged as the star. Almost as soon as the lanky, six-foot-five-and-a-half, 210-pound guard stepped out onto the court, records began to fall. In his first game, a 90-76 victory over Ball State at the end of November, Russell led the team with 30 points. By the following March he had acquired 640 more, earning him the school's season scoring record.
Also included with the article is this vintage video:
The collection that Cazzie built
I don't know how many of you remember my post about four months ago where I showed off my UM card collection (which led to my meeting a couple great fellow collectors, so thanks again to those guys!) but I wanted to give the board an update on that mainly because of something I received today: the eighth and final card I needed from Cazzie Russell's 2011-12 SP Authentic By the Letter "Michigan" nameplate. Every one of these cards is a manufactured letter autographed by Cazzie and serial #d to 50 (except for the "M" for some reason, that's to 25). Today I finally got to see all eight together and I was pretty excited, so I hoped some of you might enjoy it as well:
and another look:
So what do you guys think?
Could Crisler/Yost ever be renamed?
This question stemmed from a short conversation I had with my mother (MSU alum) during graduation weekend. We were talking about Crisler Arena and she asked "who is that named after?" And I said a former football coach and athletic director. Then I thought, Yost is also another former football player and coach. I began to question, why are our basketball and hockey arenas named after football coaches? Shouldn't they be named after basketball and hockey legends?
So, MGoBlog Community, do you feel that our arenas should be given new names at any point at all? Yes, the amazing legacies of Fritz Crisler and Fielding Yost should not be forgotten, but they were known for football, not basketball and hockey. I propose 3 options to tackle this question:
1. Keep Crisler/Yost the same. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
2. Rename the arenas to Russell Arena/Tomjanovich Arena or Berenson Ice Arena, etc.
3. Compromise and do the trendy thing in college sports: Russell Court at Crisler Arena or Berenson Rink at Yost Ice Arena, what have you.
It would be very, very tough at this point to rename iconic buildings that have stood for many years, thus my vote would go for option 3 if we were to acknowledge a U-M basketball and hockey legend.

This is not a love song,
This review is from: Blue Is the Warmest Colour [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
If there wasn't so much enthusiasm about this movie, I might be less critical;but it strikes me as absurd-to say the least-to see everybody find this Andel story the masterpiece of the year(the fuzz started in Cannes when among the masterpieces that were in competition there-and I have seen two:Venus in furs and Only god forgives-they chose this for the grand prize).To start with the good news, I admit that Blue is the warmest colour follows the tradition of a cinema that is supposed to center on the reality of real people(some believe that this is enough to guarantee ART), from Cassavetes to the Dardin brothers, and it does so with a script that can be considered an achievement, as it fills three hours of a film with small casual talks that nevertheless define the plot.For the first hour I could even say I was watching with some interest, as the microcosmos of Adel was unfolding.But-the bad news start-as the film goes on, the repetition-of Adel's face, for example-and the shallowness of the movie made me real angry, so angry that I could hardly bear keep watching.This is a story that could be easily laughed at if it wasn't for the homosexual content that grants the movie an applause for its boldness and if it wasn't for the artistic alibi with which it presents itself, copying the much admired these days aesthetic of this-is-real.Shaken camera, centering on faces(to catch the facial expessions?), casuality, raw erotic scenes, to hide a melodrama you might encounter in the worst of pulp fiction.This is the kind of movie I despise;pretentious, trivial and yet passing for great without having anything to say.Blue is the warmest colour, in my opinion, is worthless, and its promotion by everyone can only be considered as a symptom.This is not reality folks, just supposed seriousness that is most annoying;and of course this review is certainly not a love song!

I don't think we watched the same movies. Abdel Kechiche is one of the most important director of the new millennium All his movie (La Faute � Voltaire, Games of Love and Chance Couscous) are excellent except one (Black Venus). Blue Is the Warmest Colour is probably his best movie in terms of style and storytelling. In contemporary cinema is now rare that you find yourself wondering what will happen to the protagonists, in this case to Ad�le, after she has turned the corner of the street, a bit like when Antoine Doinel, at the end of "The 400 Blows" , looking at us, even invoking our intervention, then we would like to reach Ad�le, embrace it, and tell her that she has to leave something behind in order to get ahead.

PoochJD says:
Like "Ledra"'s 1-Star Review, Mr Oikonomidis seems to be producing false and unnecessary criticism.
You say: "If there wasn't so much enthusiasm about this movie, I might be less critical; but it strikes me as absurd-to say the least-to see everybody find this Andel story the masterpiece of the year(the fuzz started in Cannes when among the masterpieces that were in competition there-and I have seen two:Venus in furs and Only god forgives-they chose this for the grand prize)."
Firstly, what the hell's an "Andel story"?! Secondly, the fact you have seen two other "masterpieces" is irrelevant, but I know of many people who would say that ONLY GOD FORGIVES was far from being a masterpiece, let alone even being a good film. Thirdly, you claim "everybody" thought BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOUR was a masterpiece, as if everyone ascribes to that view, and you are the odd-one-out. That's a great way to start a review.
By your own admittance, if a film had had no critical reception or appreciation at all, you'd be kinder to it? But because it's been celebrated and praised, that justifies your own damnation of it?! Hmmm. That sounds fishy to me. Sounds much like a certain (now-deceased) film critic, who used to slate any film made after 1970, and praise any film made before it. (It was Leslie Halliwell, in case anyone was wondering.)
You go on to say: "But-the bad news start-as the film goes on, the repetition-of Adel's face, for example-and the shallowness of the movie made me real angry, so angry that I could hardly bear keep watching."
So, again, by your own admission, if Adele's (her name has an "e" on the end of it!) face had been more expressive and less repetitious, that would have allowed you to give the film a better rating. Wow! You really know how to review film's, don't you?!
Continuing on: "This is a story that could be easily laughed at if it wasn't for the homosexual content that grants the movie an applause for its boldness (snip)"
Oh dear, oh dear. You really do sound like you know nothing about what you are talking about. So what if the film had strong (homo)sexual content? Yes, that's bold and novel, but - by your slightly skewed viewpoint - without such content, the film would be laughable. Umm, no, it wouldn't. It would just be less sexually explicit.
"Shaken camera, centering on faces(to catch the facial expessions?), casuality, raw erotic scenes, to hide a melodrama you might encounter in the worst of pulp fiction."
So, tell me, what achievements have you made in your life, that aren't "pretentious, trivial or passing passing for great without having anything to say" as you so aptly describe it?! I suspect very few, if any. I hate to break it to you, Mr Oikonomidis, but most people's lives, are pretty uneventful and dull. We sleep. We eat. We Work. We play. Repeat ad infinitum. Only occasionally, do we do/see/accomplish something of note; of real meaning and value to the world.
This was not a film about achievements, accomplishments, or purpose. It was a film about ordinary people, leading relatively ordinary lives. It was a film about two people, both slightly damaged, both slightly wounded, seeking fulfillment in each other, despite society attacking them and condemning them. It was a film about a young couple in amour-fou, not fully comprehending why they felt the way they did, nor attempting to understand that love. They were, living very much "in the moment", so-to-speak.
You then said: "Blue is the warmest colour, in my opinion, is worthless, and its promotion by everyone can only be considered as a symptom". Slating a film, because you don't like it I can accept. Slating a film, and slating those who also like it, is both heartless and shows-up a distinct lack of skills in your film-reviewing capabilities. You're very much like the Daily Mail, in that you criticise that which you don't understand, and slate that which others find much enjoyment in.
Like Ledra, who also wrote a meaningless 1-Star review, you have failed to understand the film's themes. You've also failed to write anything more meaningful than: "The film is crap. I hate the film. Therefore the film, and people who liked it, are crap."! That's not a review. That's the penmanship and mental understanding of a six-year-old!
You ended with the trite "This is not reality folks". Well, no kidding. And here was me thinking this fictional film, based on a fictional graphic novel, was really a seering treatise and condemning indictment of the French treatment of lesbian women, all based entirely on facts. Stone the crows, who'd have thought it! And then you write "this review is certainly not a love song!"! Oooh, look everyone. Mr Oikonomidis has writen a nod to the opening lyrics of a Public Image Ltd song, recently famously used in two other more intellectual films, namely WALTZ WITH BASHIR and CARLOS THE JACKAL. Give the man a big-hand for shoe-horning that into his review... not!
Like the Greek economy, your review is flatlining badly, and needs a major kick in the boonies to get it back up to speed. I'd expect this kind of flacid nonsense from a tabloid hack. Alas, you seem happy to claim your cinematic prowess by shoe-horning in other well-known and "superior" names and titles, whilst simultaneously saying nothing actually worth reading.
I fear that you've gone to see the film for the wrong reasons, and now that the film has failed to live up to those reasons, you feel you have the right to condemn it. So be it.
It still doesn't mean any of what you wrote was correct.

thanks for the polite response
In reply to an earlier post on 1 Feb 2014 13:24:39 GMT
Nikolaos Oikonomidis says:
I empathise with the rage you're expressing at someone who was so negative towards something you've loved;usually I feel the urge to write something when I 'm very happy or very unhappy with a movie or something, and I have to admit that it is in the former cases I feel most justified in having done so(although I agree that even then I am often taken away by emotions and not focusing in what an interesting review might be, but try to defend what I have loved by all means).In the case of Adele(thanks for the correction), it just happened to fall in a certain category of movies whose aesthetic I don't approve, as they try to produce a certain feeling of reality through certain ways, which I do not find convincing or satisfying at all;my response had to do with the general applause this kind of filming receives, and it had to do mainly with figures of authority who promote such a choice of aesthetic and with my tendency to defend my point of view passionately(and the movies I like also);of course there are all the people who happened to be touched by the movie, as I found out afterwards and for me this is something I respect.Without having changed opinion at all(this could be an option, as I'm not always stuck on first impreessions), I'd like to say that I'm on the side of the passion, therefore on your side and on the other spectators' that loved the movie, when I see you coming in defense of it the way I would do for something else.There are points in your response with which I don't agree and to which I could answer in some way, but that was not the reason I'm writing this.I don't even feel the need to be apologetic as my review had certain reasons to be that way at the moment.It's been some time now, so I feel rather distant, yet I saw your response and others' and it made me think a little;I think taste is a personal matter and I consider it sacred.As for style, I think it is vital to accompany any meaningful content, but even style is a matter of taste as well.So...

Nothing annoys me so much as the sort of comment made by M.Bongiovanni when, in defence of Blue is the Warmest Colour , he remarks that Abdel Kechiche is one of the most important directors of the new millennium. So what? This does not make any film made by him good by default. I have experienced this sort of remark myself;once commenting on what I thought was a load of pretentious drivel, I was told ' but it's by director X' Sorry, but a currently 'in' director does not guarantee a good film
In reply to an earlier post on 23 Feb 2014 04:00:24 GMT

And you pointing out that saying so-and-so "is one of the most important directors" doesn't mean a film is good doesn't mean that the film referred to is bad by default. Your point is also meaningless.
Nothing annoys me so much as someone who says "Nothing annoys me so much...".
Some of us think M. Bongiovanni made a more valid point than you did. So sue us.

3 hours of great acting with only about 12 minutes of it with sexual activity. A pretty low percentage for a 'porn' film!!!
Methinks if you watch it only for its sex you're going to be greatly disappointed. If you want a great film with superb acting, you should get a rewarding film experience.

The Loll Designs Story
Loll Designs outdoor furniture came about in 2003 as a way to repurpose all the ramp material that was left over from the construction of municipal skate parks. It took three years of prototyping and fine-tuning to successfully produce their first line, the Adirondack collection.
Since then, Loll Designs has expanded into a wide range of modern outdoor chairs, tables, benches, planters and other accessories, made mostly out of recycled plastic. To this day, all Loll outdoor products are designed and made in their facility in Duluth, Minnesota.
Why We Love Loll Furniture
Loll furniture designs have all the good looks of wood, but are made out of 100% recycled materials that will last much longer. The bulk of Loll products are recycled high density polyethylene (HDPE), coming primarily from recycled milk jugs.The HDPE is processed into thick and smooth sheets, making it exceedingly durable and virtually maintenance free when made into furniture. Pigments are added while the sheets are being extruded, creating uniform, fade-resistant color throughout. Any brass inserts or stainless steel fasteners used are also recycled.
A Fun Fact About Loll Designs
It takes 8 recycled milk jugs to produce one pound of weight of a Loll chair (or other furniture piece). Since 2005, Loll has recycled more than 18 million milk jugs, and counting. Loll's collection of patio furniture has made appearances on the popular game show The Price is Right.

The World of Medical Transcription and Speech Recognition (SR) according to iData
The World of Medical Transcription and Speech Recognition (SR) according to iData
Speech recognition. You've thought about it. Maybe you've tried to use it commercially several years ago with frustratingly mixed results. Nuance Dragon made it available beginning with an App for the 1st generation iPads. You got choppy, inaccurate, and hard-to-edit speech-to-text conversion. Then you gave up.
That was 6+ years ago. The technology, along with facial recognition, music, image, and video recognition software has emerged and has rapidly improved, yielding better and better user-interface results. Consider the following:
Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Google, Android phones, iPhones and other Apple products, camera software and Apps can now identify faces and assign names. Products like Shazam can "listen" to sounds or videos and identify music, songs, or movies playing on TV. Google image search and Pinterest can find exact or similar images to an image you upload or photograph. Google search and the emerging Big Data markets do the same thing, but on an exponentially more complicated paradigm. And now we have "Hey Siri", "OK Google" and "Hi Galaxy" to ask our phones just about any question with reliable results.
Behind these technologies lie very similar algorithms and input-output engines that collect data, compare the data, process the data, and spit out results. And so it is with Speech Recognition in the healthcare and medical transcription world. In the interest of expediting reports or reducing costs, a physician or other medical staff records information into a device or phone. The software transcribes the audio in real time (instant TAT, right?).
So it's easy to see, if you haven't already, that SR is here and here to stay. The technology is getting exponentially easier to use, with lighting fast results, more accurate, and (importantly) increasingly attractive cost-effective way to do business.
iData, LLC, is a U.S.-based medical documentation service provider in the transcription and coding space. We have over 10 years of experience with national and global clients and have now, more than ever, immersed our business in the SR realm to help clients achieve their business goals with fast (TAT), accurate (quality), and cost-effective solutions. Whether you are new to this technology and considering to flip your medical practice to speech recognition, or already are integrated into platforms like Nuance's Escription, or M*Modal's Fluency, iData can assist you in designing a work flow, integrate your current business, and implement an SR solution that keeps more dollars on your Balance Sheet. iData is experienced with these and other SR platforms and can offer recommendations depending on your scope and KPI's. Both Nuance and M*Modal have pros and cons, although both have bragging rights, awards, and years of market leadership. They dominate in the US healthcare market.
So whatever your speech recognition needs, contact iData at (410) 212-7935 today to discuss your next steps. Have you "recognized" that speech "recognition" may be your solution to better transcription?
Forget October 1, Are You Ready For October 16?
Forget October 1, Are You Ready For October 16?
We were all focused on the start of ICD-10, but in a few short weeks healthcare organizations will begin to see the impact of the transition on their bottom lines. Here are some tips on how to mitigate the ICD-10 impact.
ICD-10 implementation and planning has been a like a dust storm looming on the horizon: swirling, unpredictable, and a somewhat painful experience. Because of its erratic nature, for the most part, we have all been focused on the challenges of meeting the deadline. We've been preparing, planning, allocating resources, testing, tweaking, and testing again. But what most of us haven't been planning for are the days and weeks post October 1.
A few weeks into October, organizations saw the positive and negative impact of the new coding practices and outcomes on their revenue cycle. With a large-scale transition like ICD-10, and the massive volumes of cases now being coded using the new system, there will be gaps — no matter how well prepared your organization is, we all must carefully examine our plans and processes.
This is the time to embrace ICD-10 in terms of people, process, and technology. Re-examine your workflow and plans to measure the accuracy, quality, and productivity around the new code set. Here are some recommended steps for mitigating the ICD-10 impact and maintaining data integrity post October 1.
All Codes Are Not Equal
Hospitals and providers need to implement regular audits to evaluate the accuracy of the ICD-10 codes and determine the areas of greatest impact on their organization. With this auditing schedule (I suggest daily and weekly at the beginning, and then transition into monthly), you should also define your metrics for monitoring, as well as a project plan that includes resources and tools, timelines, and specific reports or deliverables. You can use these audits to determine the areas of highest impact, and create a plan for prioritizing and targeting those key areas that are causing the most concern: clinical specialty, physician, CDI needs, or coders to mention a few.
Work With Your Physicians
Once you've identified the key areas of high-impact denials, meet with your physicians and clinical documentation specialists to review the required clinical documentation needs for ICD-10 coding best practices. Targeted training and increased awareness about enhanced specificity on a patient's current conditions reflected in the clinical documentation, or the tests and procedures being performed as a result, can have a profound outcome — both on the continuity of care as well as on compliance, quality scores, and reimbursement. For instance, improving the appropriate and precise clinical documentation for a patient with congestive heart failure will not have the same impact as documenting a patient admitted with severe nausea and vomiting. Reporting and analytics tools can be helpful for identifying clinical specialties and/or particular physicians whose documentation may be lacking the proper levels of specificity.
Measure, Measure, Measure
While some clinical documentation improvement metrics are available, currently there are no industry benchmarks for ICD-10 productivity and/or accuracy. Meet with your team of coders, coding trainers, auditors, and clinical documentation specialists (CDSs) and determine your expected turn-around times for discharge processing and coding, discharged but not final billed (DNFB), and days in medical accounts receivable (AR). Create your own ICD-10 accuracy and productivity targets and metrics and be sure to share with the coding team so everyone is well informed of the evaluation and auditing methods that you will be deploying under ICD-10. Infuse continuous quality improvement (CQI) into your cycle of identifying, reviewing, and evaluating each step; and use your reporting tools and audits to track progress, identify areas for further improvement, retool remediation strategies, and share feedback. This is in addition to tracking metrics such as your diagnosis-related groups (DRGs), case mix index (CMI), and severity of illness (SOI), of course!
There undoubtedly will be hiccups here and there, but having pertinent clinical documentation appropriately entered by physicians at the point-of-care is still the best way to tackle ICD-10-related challenges, in addition to providing tremendous relief to both coders and CDSs, and simultaneously reducing physician frustration levels associated with the querying process. Tools such as computer-assisted physician documentation (CAPD) and computer-assisted clinical documentation improvement (CA-CDI) can be extremely useful, particularly if your organization has narrow bandwidth of staff. The outcome that results from having technology-enabled solutions of real-time specificity physician prompting can help to improve clinical documentation integrity and boost your outcomes reporting that can have a real impact on institutional as well as professional credibility.
While October 1 was an important day for us all, what is even more significant is what will happen in the days and months following the compliance date. ICD-10 is a powerful reporting system that will help improve the accuracy of the patient record and ensure quality care. Making sure your organization has a post-transition strategy in place will help you quickly address any unplanned associated complications.
4 Tips for Success – ICD-10 Conversion and Implementation
4 Tips for Success – ICD-10 Conversion and Implementation
From Cedars Sinai presentation at the AHIMA conference, the following lessons learned are keys to success in your ICD10 conversaion and implementation! With ICD-10 being implemented this week, are you ready? Here we go!
- Provide ongoing education and re-education for coders. ICD-10 has 68,000 diagnostic codes compared with 13,000 for ICD-9. Even coders with decades of experience are in many ways 'beginners' with ICD-10. Initial training will give them the knowledge to start coding in ICD-10, but only hands-on experience and educational feedback will give them the expertise to reach pre-implementation levels of productivity and accuracy."
- Conduct proactive coding audits and assessments. Don't wait until you start to get coding denials before you audit your coders. It's important to proactively identify errors and take steps to correct them as they occur.
- Increase hiring of inexperienced coders. Traditionally, we've been hesitant to hire coders who have completed their education but have no previous experience. Take advantage of the training programs already in place for ICD-10 to recruit coders without real world experience, train them and move them along a career ladder that will build loyalty and reduce turnover.
- Evaluate procedures for professional fee coding. With ICD-9, physicians and other professionals at Cedars-Sinai were responsible for entering the diagnostic codes for the services they rendered. We are looking at the commitment required of physicians to learn the new ICD-10 coding system to decide whether that's the best use of their resources. First and foremost, we want our physicians to be focused on providing patient care. The medical center is exploring the possibility of using coders to do pro-fee coding and training physicians and other professionals in how best to document patient care so as to facilitate accurate coding.
Be sure to contact iData for your direct or supplemental medical documentation needs. Whether you need coders, transcription, back-office support, or catastrophe planning, be sure to contact iData!
Solution For Your Discharged Not Final Billed Rates!
Supplemental Discharge Summary Report Services
- Lack of qualified coders (now more than ever with ICD-10)
- Bills held up for reviews and audits
- Poor internal review systems between the departments that code records and the clinicians who complete pathology and operative reports.
"Also, develop a collaborative team within the organization that includes representatives from HIM, coding, quality assurance, and others that meets on a regular basis to discuss ongoing issues. In the beginning, this group may meet weekly, and then taper off to a monthly meeting once improvement is seen. In the end, assign the responsibility of the DNFB monitoring to one individual and ensure that they have the tools and resources to review the report, identify process issues, and make corrections."
In most situations, the CEO or CFO has the HIM director deliver the DNFB rates. Ultimately, the HIM director should lead the effort to improve DNFB rates and should work with representatives from across many groups: business office, coding, charge-master, admitting, case management or utilization review, quality management, and HIM.
Successfully monitoring and controlling DNFB lies within understanding its cause, says Darice M. Grzybowski, MA, RHIA, FAHIMA, founder and president of HIMentors, LLC, in Westchester, IL.
A HIM department may struggle with getting records coded, Grzybowski says, while other times it may attempt to code the medical record, but find that key information such as a pathology report or dictated operative report is missing.
- Investing in an HIM operational assessment to identify causes of DNFB and possible solutions
- Putting an ongoing tracking mechanism in place to monitor DNFB
- Ensuring the Patient Financial Services (PFS) department and HIM teams agree how DNFB will be defined and measured
- Enforcing record-completion policies
- Ensuring that deficiency analysis takes place before coding (within the first 24 hours post discharge) to identify missing data earlier in the life-cycle of record processing, and to improve coder productivity to avoid them spending time searching for missing information
Be aware that a shortage of qualified, credentialed, and experienced coders can make your organization's DNFB rise. A lack of an adequate staff working seven days a week in the scanning, analysis, and coding areas could mean higher rates, Grzybowski warns.
Solution Space
- Create a queue/ work-list
- Responsible/attending physician would need to be specified. This will be the physician who has to eventually sign off on the discharge summary document.
- Defined time-frame (i.e., day of discharge, day after discharge, etc.)
- Identifies any issues or need for clarification (i.e., conflicts, specificity, missing/incorrect info, query opportunities)
- Discharge summary report now available in EHR in draft (unsigned) status
- Any issues/discrepancies -> report sent back to iData to be addressed
- No issues/discrepancies -> report signed by physician and finalized in HER

Continuing with our Series about what medical practices and hospitals should be doing now that we are slowly running out of time to design and implement an ICD-10 compliance strategy. For other Parts in this series, please refer to related blogs.
5. Master the codes that matter
While many physicians have memorized the codes they use in ICD-9, which is harder to do in ICD-10, because the system is more elaborate. Instead, experts recommend focusing on learning the codes relevant to your specialty, rather than all 155,000 codes. "Make a short list of the codes you have to be good at," says Lance. Place the list for you, your team members, and other staff all over your practice. Until ICD-10 takes hold, challenge each other with ICD-9 to ICD-10 conversion codes quizzes – "Hey, if I have an ICD-9 code for X, what is the ICD-10 up-code or equivalent?"
For practices and specialties that have complicated coding, use a medical documentation service like iData's coding process – coding expertise using a mature coding workflow that is topped with a sprinkle of subject matter expertise.
6. Diminishing efficiency and productivity
Be prepared for changes to your coding affecting other aspects of your practice's operations—and divert resources, dollars, and staffers from other tasks and budget items. Look at where your workflow is going to have to change. ICD-10 is no longer about an "if"; rather it is about a "when" and the sooner your practice gets ready and is positioned well at the starting gate, the less impact to productivity (and commensurate revenue) you will experience.
Consider that many taken-for-granted task such as referrals, supply orders, equipment and service orders that were handled within the ICD-9 world, will now need to contemplate how they are created and generated in the ICD-10 world. Be sure that your entire workflow has contemplated the wide-ranging effects of ICD-10.
7. Quality, quality, quality
Every practice should have a point person assigned to regularly check coding to make sure there are no errors that are costing the practice money—and identify staffers who need more training, say experts. The stakes are high for practices that don't get it right because errors may lead to delayed or denied claims.
No practice can afford to make big mistakes that affect cash flow today, especially in the financially and regulatory tightened and rapidly changing medical field.
Whether small, up-and-coming- or large practice, or if you are the HIM or CIO or a local or large hospital, contact iData to assist you with resourcing a team of expert ICD-10 leaders and coders. iData will readily demonstrate the efficacy of our process, offer free pilot-scale tests, help your transition, and Go Live sooner than you can imagine.

Part 1 – ICD-10 is now down the stretch… now what does your practice do?
Okay. Take a deep breath. Exhale. Doesn't that feel good?
As many of us in the medical documentation world feel, this is becoming more and more the scene of uncertainty, anxiety, and "could we just get this ICD-10 over with?" feelings. How soon we forget.
Remember Y2K? The build up. The hype. Fear mongering. Predictions of end-of-world scenarios with images of digital and financial world implosions. Armageddon.
None of it materialized. But – and this is important – it didn't materialize because redundant planning and execution of intelligent strategies were implemented at the strategic, tactical, and technical levels. Neither will any of the hyper-sensationalized scenarios about ICD-10 – from regulations to promulgation to implementation.
As a medical documentation organization, we here at iData, LLC have our own considerations and anxieties. iData engaged and employed national experts and is now wrapping up its preparation to handle large volumes of inpatient and outpatient coding. The good news is we can now share with you some strategies to help you prepare your practice for ICD10:
1. Your Practice is coming down the "stretch" – don't expect another delay
Many medical practices got lucky when the ICD-10 implementation deadline was extended because they had procrastinated on learning it. While it is statistically possible the deadline could be postponed again, all indicators now suggest it is unlikely. Hope was a strategy, but it wont is this time. While the time to invest time and dollars in a measured way is virtually vanished, you still have time, even though it may look like a mad rush. Believe it or not, there are a lot of physicians who have their head in the sand on this, and it's going to come back to bite them.
For those of us just dipping our toes into this, you will quickly learn that it's a radically different coding system from what ICD-9 is. There's going to be a pretty steep learning curve, which will undoubtedly create an initial significant decline in productivity.
We at iData have been immersing ourselves over the last 2+ years in the ICD-10 world and have sadly endured the disappointment, costs, and frustrations related to the delays as well as the complicated labyrinth involved in implementation. iData has now evolved its coding process to take on virtually every type of ICD-10-CM/PCS challenge with a mature, quality-heavy workflow. At the core of our business model is the employment of nationally recognized ICD-10 subject matter experts that actively assert their quality expertise for the benefit of our clients.
2. Budgeting bandwidth
Complying with ICD-10 requires a substantial investment, so make sure you plan for outlays to cover training, additional software or upgrades to your existing programs, and other costs.
A small medical practice of 1-2 physician could expect to spend $5K-$15K to update their EHR system to manage ICD-10. If some members of your team have learned the system well, you may be able to offset some of the additional overhead by having them train others.
At the end of the day, you will pay now or later. Believe us, managing this too little too late will be orders of magnitude costlier for your business.

Product Description
From Amazon
Don Tapscott, author of The Digital Economy, turns his attention to the way young people--surrounded by high-tech toys and tools from birth--will likely affect the future. In Growing Up Digital: The Rise of the Net Generation, Tapscott parlays some 300 interviews into predictions on how today's 2- to 22-year-olds might reshape society. His observations about this enormously influential population, which will total 88 million in North America alone by the year 2000, range from the kind of employees they may eventually be to how they could be reached by marketers. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Library Journal
Following right behind the Boomers are their children, the Baby Boom Echo, or Net Generation (N-Gen). This population is nearly 90 million strong and is the first generation to grow up surrounded by digital media. Tapscott (The Digital Economy, LJ 11/15/96) interviewed 300 N-Geners who participate in online chat groups such as FreeZone to identify the characteristics and learning styles of this already influential segment of society. Anticipating that over 40 percent of U.S. households will be on the net by the year 2000, Tapscott predicts how the N-Geners, many of whom are already expert net users, will be the catalyst for change in education, recreation, commerce, the workplace, the family, and government. His immediate advice is to listen to our children because we can learn from them. Recommended for all libraries.?Laverna Saunders, Salem State Coll. Lib., Mass.

The author should keep in mind that the N-geners didn't create computers and for the most part, they are clueless when it comes to coding. They do not qualify as experts ... not by a long shot. To encourage youth today to believe that they are experts in computers ... and the people who designed them are not ... is setting them up for real disappointment.
The author's opinions on TV and media are also absurd. He creates a model in which the state of everything that is not N-Gen is fixed and unchanging ... while the opposite is true for his heroes. Perhaps the most convincing argument that can be made against this author's opinions is that a good deal of his computer-based examples are already 'off-the-air'. Moreover, his characterization of the pre-web media era as being fearful of the new technology is way off base ... and today's integration of technologies is proof of this.
The book was written to promote sales rather than good, usable, and thoughtful ideas. Young people will adore this author ... not because he makes a good case ... but because he writes what they want to hear ... and makes them feel the way they want to feel ... like heroes.
"For the first time in history youth are an authority on an innovation central to society's development" (Preface, ix). Our children know a lot more than we do in terms of technology. According to Tapscott, this situation has created not just a generation gap, but a generation lap, akin to race track leads measured in terms of gaps that consequently metaphorically heightens the stark contrast of technological knowledge between children and parents. Because these children are born with technology, they assimilate them, rather than accommodate them, which is what adults do to cope with technological advances that often produces cognitive friction for them.Read more ›
Tapscott acknowledges and celebrates that "The Children of a Digital Age" are reconfiguring our work environments, relationships, educational systems and learning modes, concepts of citizenship and democracy, and our present and future.
Tapscott, author of "Digital Economy" and others, President of New Paradigm Learning Corporation and chairman of a think tank funded by leading technology and government organizations, offers an insiders view of the "Net Generation".
The "N-Geners" are over 88 million strong and represent the largest demographic group in the United States and Canada. They are the pioneering generation growing up immersed in the ubiquitous new digital media - computers, the Internet, CD-ROMs, video games and more. Forget a childhood of imaginary playmates - "Net Geners" now use their imaginations and technology skills to communicate across the Web, ignoring limitations of location and time via digital media. Major themes explored in "Growing Up Digital" include social transformation, democracy and citizenship, the nature of education, learning, business, communication and interactivity in the digital media era.
Tapscott approaches this post "Smells like Teen Spirit" Nirvana-generation with sheer fascination and importantly, respect. Tapscott's strength is his willingness to listen. As a young "N-Gener" interviewee points out, she feels that adults take her opinion more seriously because she may know more about technology than they do. The Net interview discussions with 300 youth between the age of four and twenty, led by a research team leader all of 24 years old, produced fascinating insights into our future - who we are and who will be as students, teachers, workers, citizens, consumers.Read more ›

U.S. reaches deal to expand free trade
Published: Thursday, December 18, 2003 at 11:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 at 11:00 p.m.
WASHINGTON | The Bush administration reached an agreement Wednesday on expanding free trade in Latin America, giving four Central American countries duty-free access to the vast U.S. market and holding out the promise of cheaper prices for U.S. consumers.
The agreement, which must be approved by Congress, would represent America's sixth free trade agreement -- deals to eliminate all barriers to trade -- and was modeled along the lines of the decade-old North American Free Trade Agreement linking the United States, Mexico and Canada.
The Central American Free Trade Agreement, or CAFTA, will cover Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua.

Is really not bad, it doesn't bother most of the students at all.
Drug Safety:
I dont really see anyone on campus doing drugs.
Drug Safety:
JSU does have policy enforcement; however, just as at any other institution, there are those who disobey. No visibility as far as I know.
Drug Safety:
The drug scene at school is not popular and it isn't seen.
Drug Safety:
The drug scene at my school is okay. Students occasionally smoke weed and drink on campus, but they don't do it during the day or out in the open. Most are very secretive when the partake in drug use or alcohol drinking. Peer pressure isn't big at JSU. Either you drink and smoke or you don't. Nobody will make you do anything or treat you differently if you don't.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Drugs are not a profound problem at JSU. Students are not pressured into this lifestyle because the majority of students come for the academic experience. The population understands how drugs and alcohol can affect the mind and body; keeping a distance from that atmosphere allows the University to stand above the rest. Jackson State is a drug-free school that does not tolerate drugs and alcohol.
There are numerous liquors stores surrounding the campus that brings a temptation amongst the students. You are not allowed to have any liquor in the dormitories, nor any open containers in public. Many attempt to sneak in fine wines, but more than half are punished for their lack of cooperation.

Zimbra Desktop
Zimbra Desktop is an alternative e-mail client. I don't mean that it is yet another choice in e-mail client-land. It is more than merely another choice. Zimbra Desktop is an attempt to blur the lines between a browser-based Web application and a traditional desktop application. In many ways, it is similar to applications like Evolution, Outlook or KMail—what Zimbra refers to as "fat" clients—but in other ways, it has more in common with browser-based e-mail platforms, such as Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo mail. In a nutshell, Zimbra Desktop is the Web-based Zimbra Ajax Web client running inside a custom Prism install (for more about Prism, see the What Is Prism? sidebar).
What Is Prism?
Prism is a Mozilla Labs project. Its aim is to allow you to split Web applications out of your browser and run them directly on your desktop. In reality, it allows you to run your Web application inside a stripped-down Firefox window, with no buttons or bars to get in the way.
The reason this is useful is because of one of Firefox's design decisions. In order to save on memory and processor usage, all of your browser windows run under a single Firefox process. This generally works well, except when Firefox crashes. Because of the design, a crash in one Firefox window affects all other Firefox windows. Prism lets you separate Web applications into their own processes. In this way, they behave more like traditional desktop applications—for example, if my Prism Gmail application dies, it doesn't affect the other Web applications I have running or close the Web sites I currently have open.
Development is ongoing, and new features are coming out all the time. For example, a new plugin for Firefox 3 recently was released that allows you to convert a Web site into a desktop application simply by clicking Tools→Convert Website to Application.
More information about Prism is available at labs.mozilla.com/featured-projects/#prism.
At first blush, I thought to myself, "Why would someone want to do this? What's the point?" Well, the point, I came to discover, is that desktop e-mail suites have certain advantages over browser-based e-mail suites, and vice versa.
The main advantage desktop e-mail clients have over their browser-based brethren, in my opinion, is the ability to read saved e-mail when you are not connected to the Internet. There is also, in corporate settings especially, the advantage of integration with LDAP directory servers and scheduling functions through shared calendars and the like. On the other hand, the main advantage that browser-based e-mail clients have over desktop e-mail clients is that they run exactly the same, or very nearly the same, on multiple browsers and operating systems. There also is no lengthy install process; you simply go to the site and there it is. The aim of Zimbra Desktop is to give you the best of both worlds.
Unfortunately, because Zimbra Desktop acts like a traditional application, there is an installer. The installer itself is an approximately 40MB shell script. Actually, it is a 340-line shell script cat'ed to an approximately 40MB tar.gz file. The script extracts the tar.gz file from itself, gunzips and untars it, and then runs the Java-based installer that lives inside. This sort of installation bootstrapping, by extracting a file stored inside a shell script, is something commercial Linux software seems to prefer doing, and I have to say, it does work.
The GUI installer is nothing special. It uses install4j, and it gets the job done.
At the end of the installation process, you'll have a zimbra folder wherever you instructed the installer to put it. The home folder of the user that performed the install is the default location. Optionally, you also will have a desktop icon, if you did not uncheck the Create Desktop Shortcut box.
Double-click the desktop icon, and Zimbra Desktop launches and prompts you to enter in the settings for an e-mail account of your choosing. Zimbra Desktop supports Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS), Gmail, Yahoo Mail Plus and standard POP and IMAP accounts. I tested with Gmail and ZCS, as those are what I have.
Where do you get all these
Where do you get all these applications from? I have been looking for an alternative to Outlook. II got a new HP laptop and I need to make everything accessible on it.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide
