My daughter wanted a bean bag that was really big for her to lounge and sleep on. LoveSaks were WAY out of her price range, so we looked for alternatives. This is perfect. The straps let her adjust it to more of a lounger or just make it a bit smaller to fit her room. Or, she can let it out and have a large comfy place to sprawl and read. Her little sister has fallen asleep on it more than once. And the surface is nice to the touch while still being easy to surface clean.
I ordered one of these items, and we all love it... large, incredibly comfortable, nice color, etc. It was such a hit that I ordered a second one. This one is also a nice item, BUT the fabric (color and texture) is different from the first one, and the firmness/bounciness of the cushion is also quite different. I doublechecked my receipt to see if perhaps I'd ordered a different item but it was the same. In other words, there is a good deal of variation among what is listed as the same item. We are still enjoying them, but they don't match!

I ordered 2 of these chairs, to use in a master suite, for comfortable, tv watching. They arrived in very secure boxes and encased in heavy plastic bags. Once you open the bags, you have to fluff them up, since I'm sure they used some sort of vacuum to get these to fit in the shipping box! They are huge!The microsuede fabric is very soft, and comfortable. The 4 star rating on ease of assembly, is due only because, the quick clip straps, that hold them in the chair position, are a little tricky to figure out. They did not send a picture of the bag, so I had to go back on line, to see how they clip in the chair position. I actually sat in one last night to watch a movie, and the oversize of this bag is so comfortable I fell asleep. These bags are great inexpensive seating for anywhere- Just be sure you have ample space, as they are BIG! I find these a great value for the money. Before they were clipped into the chair position, I tried them flat, and they would be comfortable to lay on in that position, too.
I bought 2 of these for a lounging area where my kids like to play games and watch TV. As others have mentioned, open the box when you are at the correct spot as it will expand significantly. It is pieces of foam as the filling, but everyone seems OK with it, no poking that we noticed. It is comfortable enough to lie on and sleep, and we'll be using it instead of an air mattress when our kids have friends over. When clipped together to make a chair, it still looks quite frumpy, so don't buy this for any area that you care about decor. Lastly about the smell- we have had this for over a month and though it has lessened, the smell is still there. I am quite sensitive to odors, but it doesn't bother me enough to avoid sitting on it, though I could imagine that it might bother others.

The FufSack is comfortable but much heavier than I expected. Not something I'll be lugging from room to room. A little cumbersome for someone 5'2" to haul from floor to floor. Like the versatility but I experienced what some of the other reviewers have with the clasps. I ended up knotting the bindings and it seems to be holding the sack in the sitting position fine. Son like it as a chair and daughter likes to lay at it while she's playing or reading so everyone is happy!

Please dont buy this product. This looks good in the pictures but is useless in practical, its very hard to browse a laptop sitting on this , there is no support to ur neck when waching TV. Its been sitting in my hall way for 6 months now and i hardly used it 10 times max. I was planning on returning it but had to pay from my pocket for shipping which will atleast cost me 50 bucks, so i didnt bother returning. Not worth it.
It is not a sofa sleeper. Too small to qualify. If you want to sit on a cushion level on the floor, it is comfortable. However, the snaps, (ties on either side) just don't work. They are always stretched to the limit. This is an item I would have returned.
It is not fluffy like pictured and impossible for my daughter to sit on and watch tv. It is great to lay down on, but that is it. Color was nice, but not good for what I had hoped to use it as. Also there were no instructions and the strappy things that are supposed to make it like a chair don't really work. I wish I had ordered a bean bag chair
I got this for my daughter whose beanbag had seen it's last days. For the price you certainly can't beat the size, comfort and uniqness of this product. It's a little deceiving from the pic however-it's rectangular and the photo makes it look round. And you have to have the room for it because it's BIG! But I LOVE the color which is more of a dark burnt orange then red and it's really cool to use it with the ties bringing it up into a chair form...but when the straps are unhooked and it lays flat it's VERY thick-probably at least 8" and it's wider then a twin bed but not quite as long!! I'm not sure about it's durability-I wonder how long the straps will hold out before they begin tearing away from the fabric but they look fairly well sewn so I'm hopeful it will last. All in all, it's a great piece of furniture for the kids to lounge in!! Would definately buy again.
The reason why i gave this product such bad reviews is because its not very functional. Even if you tighten the straps as far as you can the chair still does not sit up. So basically its a large 5 ft. red pillow sitting on our floor. Its just in the way. Also the material smells terrible and it is MAGNET for dirt and dust and just looks dirty. The only way i cant see this chair/pillow could be a great value if is you wanted to spend the extra 100 plus dollars to buy a stand to keep it off the ground, and got a fabric cover. Sorry guys, i don't believe this is a great value.
I bought this for my son who has Autism and he LOVES this chair. I don't know how we have made it this long with out it. He use this on a daily bases.
i really like this. its really comfortable. I just can't figure out how to make it a chair as it does in the picture. Directions of how to do this would be nice. I'm sure i'll figure it out eventually, but that is my only complaint. ITs a really comfortable piece of furniture though. Right now its functioning as a "lounger". Looking forward to figuring out how to make it a chair.
Perfect for over night guest, bulky, nice to sit and read or just relax
This was a gift for my nephews college dorm. He loves it!
Exceptional beanbag! Well worth the cost. Made very well. Would definitely recommend to anyone. And made in USA!
I have this sofa in my den and when I have guests they fight ove who gets to sleep on it ,so I purchased a second one, I would reccomend this to anyone.
arrives with the foam "beads" in clumps out of the box so you have to work them out. That's probably the reason you can't return it after you take it out of the box. Took 10-15 minutes and it fluffed up into a nice, comfortable chair. I didn't experience the problem with straps being too loose. Fun and comfy.Durable, heavy fabric. Box was pretty heavy, a good sign, but this isn't super easy to move from room to room. I was worried about shipping. I ordered it on the 4th and didn't receive any notification until the 17th- the day it arrived. I got worried and bought a back up gift b/c I didn't think it would arrive.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? deep true red, matched picture
This is a great chair/bed for kids. My 6 year old and 10 year old have slept on it every night since we got it, they say it's really comfy. Works as a TV chair too. Easily fits both kids as a chair or bed.

My 13 year old son loves this. We had debated between a traditional bean bag and this and found this to be more usefull. The straps allow for various levels of reclining and also once unclipped allow for you to lay on the bag. It is nice and big and pretty comfy. Our only challenge now is keeping our two large dogs off it. A great purchase for the price!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Exact color match to photo
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Fabric is soft, straps seems to be attached securely
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? very accurate description
I bought two fufsacks to use as 'crash' mats for my 6 year old autistic son. His therapist has us play games with him which involve him falling into the couch or matresses, and I thought these might be fun in the play room. Real crash mats exist on therapy sites, but they are more expensive and covered in a stiff commercial vinyl. I love that these are multi purpose and can be used as chairs too. They are really big, but that was what we wanted. When they got out of the package we panicked a little, as the 'fuf' was in a big clump in the 'sack' and there was a little odor. But we walked on them for a few minutes and it started to break up. By the next morning they were all filled out and smooth! The smell is gone now too.

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received an e-book edition of this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
Christian fiction is often bland and uninteresting. Cherry Blossom Capers has interesting characters, and interesting action to keep the reader involved. All the characters suffer trials and stumbles in their day-to-day lives as they attempt to live according to their beliefs. Possibly the four different authors lend the characters such separate personalities that they it gives the story more depth and perhaps one author might achieve. Interesting book, written with an interesting format. I really enjoyed it.
Received Galley from NetGalley.com
The first story is State Secrets by Lynette Sowell, and is Tara Whitley and Jack Courtland's romance mystery. The setting...the White House. Tara is a Chef, and Jack is an FBI agent. They have a past, and haven't seen each other since they were both living in Paris. Now there is a noted threat at the White House and Jack is assigned. When you think you have it all figured out...guess again!
The second story is Dying for Love by Cara C. Putman, and is the story of two opposing attorneys Ciara Turner and Daniel Evans. They discover the body of their mentor Judge together, and now want justice. You wonder if they can trust each other enough to work through their problems. A real sweet story!
The third story is Buried Deception by Gina Conroy, and is Samantha Steele's and her two children Alex and Callie story. There are a couple of suitors and the setting is Mount Vernon Estates...wow!! There are some missing artifacts and forgeries added to the mystery here. You wonder if she will end up with Nick Porter or Cody Sparks, there is also murder, kidnappings and break ins.
The fourth story is called Coffee, Tea and Danger by Frances Devine and is Susan Holland and Vince Martinelli romance, if they will accept it. This story is quite a mystery, when Susan's Uncle dies and leaves her the family mansion, it seems someone want to do her in? Vince lost is beloved wife several years ago, and even though he is attracted to Susan, isn't sure he wants to find romance again. Very short, but delightful story!Read more ›
Every single one of the novellas in this collection was a great read. With characters that cross over into every one of the other books, the authors stayed true to the characters their co-writers had also created.
"Lovers and Lawbreakers" is the tagline for the novel and its a great description of Cherry Blossom Capers. It includes great setting, good characters and talented authors that put it all together. My favorite stories though would have to be by Cara Putman and Gina Conroy (debut author). It's a quick read, one novella can be read in about a short amount of time, but the authors didn't scrimp on characterization or the importance of story.
A fun and well-written collection!

Hacktivists claiming allegiance to Anonymous launched a series of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks this week against Russian government websites, under the banner of "OpDefiance."
"kremlin.ru - TANGO DOWN ... #OpDefiance #Anonymous #d4th #DDoS #WIN," read a tweet posted via the Anonymous Op_Russia account. It included links to screenshots showing the targeted websites suffering increasingly longer response times.
[ Online anonymity can lead to dangerous situations, but it also has its advantages. Read more at Has Anonymous Ruined Online Anonymity?. ]
The Kremlin's press service acknowledged the attacks, which briefly knocked the Kremlin's public-facing website offline. "We received threats from Anonymous several days ago but we can't confirm it's exactly this group that attacked the Kremlin.ru website. At the moment we can't establish who's behind the attack. Unfortunately we live at a time when technology security threats have mounted, but we have the means to resist them," read a statement released by the Kremlin.
The Russian Federal Security Service website was also experiencing intermittent outages Wednesday, reported the English-language Russian news channel RT.com
Anonymous previewed the attacks last week. In a Pastebin post and YouTube clip, Anonymous said the attacks were meant to support the country's protests against alleged vote tampering during the March elections, which led to Putin being elected to serve another six-year term as president.
"We are going to support the protest by taking down the lying government information resources, the first of which will be the official site of the Russian government, said government having been assembled by way of lies and electoral fraud," read a statement released by Anonymous.
The call to arms designated two more Russian government websites--gov.ru and government.ru--as targets, including the times they should be attacked, presumably using DDoS tools. But according to RT.com, while those sites were attacked Monday, they didn't go down.
In other hacktivist news, Norway's National Criminal Investigation Service (NCIS) said that it's arrested two teenagers on charges of launching DDoS attacks against numerous financial institutions as well as Britain's Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOCA), which has investigated alleged illegal activity by Anonymous and LulzSec members. The SOCA website was most recently knocked offline by DDoS attacks last week.
The Norwegian teens, who haven't been named, are 18 and 19 years old, and police said they launched the attacks over a period of several weeks. Local news reports identified some of their targets as the Norwegian security police service PST, along with DnB bank, the Norwegian Lottery, and Germany's tabloid newspaper Bild. If convicted, the pair could face up to six years in prison on charges of aggravated criminal damage.
But investigators said they're still pursuing more suspects. "We have arrested the two people we believe were most central to these attacks, but we are still hoping to speak to more people," said prosecutor Erik Moestue, reported in the English-language Norwegian newspaper The Local. "We have not yet discovered a motive for the attacks, so we're assuming that they're doing it to get a kick or to destroy things for others. They're a gang of boys."
The Local also reported that police were aided by the Norwegian branch of Anonymous, which disclosed the identities of the suspects, who they said were part of "a group of 14- to 16-year-olds with very limited computer skills." Published information reportedly included the suspects' names, addresses, mobile phone numbers, email addresses, and social network identities.
But a message posted Wednesday on the Anonymous Norway (anonnorway.org) website said such news reports were incorrect: "We at anonnorway has nothing to do with the ongoing investigation NCIS conducts about DDoS attacks against various websites. We have neither 'outed' nor exposed people, and we have not been in contact with law enforcement authorities at all. Any article that claims the opposite is sadly misinformed."

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

NIH new policy | Single IRB for multi-site studies
Accelerating clinical research studies benefits researchers, research participants, and all who stand to gain from research results. Today, the time it takes to go from a sound research idea to the launch of a new, multi-site clinical research study is too long. A major contributor to the delay is that too many institutional review boards (IRBs) are reviewing the protocol and consent documents for the same study, often with no added benefit in terms of the protections for research participants. To address this bottleneck, NIH has issued a new policy to streamline the review process for NIH-funded, multi-site clinical research studies in the United States. The NIH Policy on the Use of a Single Institutional Review Board (IRB) for Multi-Site Research sets the expectation that multi-site studies conducting the same protocol use a single IRB to carry out the ethical review of the proposed research.
This policy applies to all competing grant applications (new, renewal, revision, or resubmission) with receipt dates on or after May 25, 2017. Ongoing, non-competing awards will not be expected to comply with this policy until the grantee submits a competing renewal application. For contracts, the policy applies to all solicitations issued on or after May 25, 2017. For the intramural program, the policy applies to intramural multi-site studies submitted for initial review after May 25, 2017.
IRBs play a critical role in reviewing and approving studies involving human research participants. IRBs evaluate the potential benefits of research and risks to participants. In the past, most clinical research studies were carried out at single institutions. Now studies are increasingly conducted at multiple sites to help increase the number and diversity of the participants, improve operational efficiencies, and accelerate the generation of research results. However, for the majority of multi-site studies, the IRB at each participating site continues to conduct an independent review. This review adds time, but generally does not meaningfully enhance protections for the participants. This new NIH policy seeks to end duplicative reviews that slow down the start of the research.
NIH will support applicant and awardee institutions as they implement the new policy with guidance and resources, such as a model authorization agreement that lays out the roles and responsibilities of each signatory, and a model communication plan that identifies which documents are to be completed, and when.

Johannes Dryander | June 2016 Notes from the John Martin Rare Book Room @Hardin Library
JOHANNES DRYANDER (ca. 1500-1560). Anatomiae. Marburg: Apud Eucharium Ceruicornum, 1537.
Dryander (also known as Eichmann), professor of surgery at Marburg, was a friend of Vesalius and among the first anatomists who made illustrations after their own dissections.
This Anatomiae appeared six years before Vesalius' great work. This was the first significant book on the anatomy of the head and contains 20 full-page woodcuts made from Dryander's own dissections.
Sixteen of the plates are of the head and brain and were done to show successive stages of dissection. The first eleven plates appeared earlier in his Anatomia capitis humani (1536) and the remaining four plates of the chest and lungs were added as an appendix.
You may view this book in the John Martin Rare Book Room, Hardin Library for the Health Sciences. Make a gift to the Hardin Library for the Health Sciences by donating online or setting up a recurring gift with The University of Iowa Foundation.

Engineering the Bike – New Exhibit!
It's summer! The perfect time to learn about the engineering of the bicycle and we have a new exhibit highlighting bicycles and their engineering!
Do you remember your first bike? And telling your folks "don't let go" the first time the training wheels came off? Most of us loved the exhilaration and freedom riding a bike brought and didn't really think about the history and engineering of the bicycle…
The history of the bike begins with the velocipede which was designed after the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815). From there it developed into the 'penny farthing,' to the safety bikes, and then to the bikes we have today. And there are a myriad of types of bicycles today. Not just for pleasure or riding to work, there are many bikes designed for racing and extreme sports. There are road events (i.e. Road Criterium), off-road events (i.e. Cyclo-cross), and track racing (i.e. Olympics).
A lot of engineering is involved in designing and creating a bike. Designers look at multiple factors – aerodynamics, the wheel & spokes, tires, balance, ergonomics, and the different material with which to make the body and the tires. Looking at aerodynamics means exploring the shape of the bike and how that affects the air flow and drag. The design of the wheel looks at the width and diameter of the wheel, and the type of spokes. The wheel design and the tires also vary depending on how the bicycle will be used – city streets? Off-road? Tour de France? There are also ergonomic factors – pedal to saddle distance, crank length, saddle to handlebar dimensions…. And the frames – what materials are used – steel, low carbon, chrome moly. Performance bikes often use low alloy steel and chrome moly which meet aviation industry specifications.
Want to try your hand at hacking your bike? Make: Bicycle Projects will help you do just that! It includes everything from a list of what should be included on a bike hacker's workbench to commercial add-ons, to SpokePOV (Spoke Persistence of Vision). Want a bike that glows in the dark? Or a 'parade bike' which has built in speakers? Make : Bicycle Projects will walk you through and help you create your own unique hacks.
Here at the University of Iowa, Steve McGuire, Professor of Metals Arts & 3D Design and Studio Division Coordinator in the School of Art & Art History, has created a handmade bicycle curriculum. The UI is the first academic institution to be selected to exhibit the work of students at the North American Hand Built Bicycle Show. It is the most prestigious venue of its kind internationally. The program was started in 2010, and since then over 70 students have built bicycles and some have gone on to become engineers and craftspeople in the bike industry.
What else is going on locally in the biking environment?
In an article from the May 18, 2016 The Gazette, B.A. Morelli explains how Iowa City and Cedar Rapids are working to make both cities more bike friendly. Iowa City is testing a low-volume and low-speed street that gives priority to cyclists – a bike boulevard. Cedar Rapids has painted green dedicated bike lanes. It has also expanded the use of "supersharrows," (paint markings are the silhouette bordered by dashed lines that you see painted in the center of the travel lane). Road diets may also be in the future. A road diet squeezed four lanes of traffic into three with the center lane for turning and with bike lanes on each side.
It is hard to live in Iowa and not know about RAGBRAI (the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa) which is now an international event and has 8500 registered riders. Many riders hop in for a leg or two of the ride, so there are more than 8500 riders biking through Iowa during the week-long trek. This year the ride begins in Glenwood and ends in Muscatine. The longest leg of the ride is 75.2 miles and has a total of 3,994 feet of climb!
Iowa City will host the Cyclo-Cross World Cup on September 24, 2016 at the Johnson County Fairgrounds. The event is expected to attract 15,000 spectators and be televised internationally. Iowa City is the second date on the 2016-2017 Cyclo-Cross World Cup circuit.

Iowa City also has a Bike Library. Bikes are donated and then repaired and offered to the public. Bikes are priced with a deposit and checked out for 6-month periods. If the bike is returned in good condition, the deposit is returned. The patron may also choose to keep the bike and forfeit the deposit. They also have "Rent-a-Bench" where you can work on your bike for $5/hour during specified hours. A big thank you to them for donating several of the items in our display!

Amgen negotiated an option to acquire an exclusive worldwide license to Xencor's late preclinical-stage dual-targeting monoclonal antibody (mAb), XmAb®5871, for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Under terms of the deal Xencor will carry out clinical development of the candidate until the completion of a predefined Phase II study, at which point Amgen's option will kick in.
Amgen will pay Xencor an up-front fee, early development milestone payments, and, if the firm decides to license XmAb5871, an option exercise fee. The total of these combined payments will be about $75 million. Subsequent clinical, regulatory, and commercialization milestone payments made to Xencor could reach $425 million. Amgen will be responsible for all development and commericalization of XmAb5871 if and when it decides to take up its option to take over the antibody.
XmAb5871 is an Fc-engineered mAb targeting CD19 and CD32b. Xencor has developed an immunomodulatory platform by engineering Fc domains for selective high affinity binding to FcγRIIb (CD32b), a receptor on B cells and other immune cells that the firm claims has not yet been explored therapeutically and applied to high-affinity antibodies targeting immune cells.
"We expect that XmAb5871 will soon become the fifth XmAb-engineered antibody in clinical development," notes Bassil Dahiyat, Ph.D., Xencor CEO. "This program is a testament to the progress we've made expanding the XmAb platform into autoimmune disease with our CD32b technology, which is at the core of the XmAb5871 compound".
Xencor is developing an in-house and partnered pipeline of protein drug candidates against a range of diseases, based on its XmAb antibody therapeutics and XPro™ protein therapeutics platforms. The firm's in-house pipeline is headed by the Phase II-stage anti-CD30 antibody XmAb2513, which is in development for the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma. Partnered products include XmAb 5574 (MOR208), an anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody being developed in collaboration with MorphoSys for the potential treatment of B-cell malignancies. The firms initiated a Phase I trial with XmAb5574 in December 2010.
Oncology mAb candidates partnered separately with Pfizer and Boehringer Ingelheim are also progressing into clinical development. A Phase I trial with a Pfizer-partnered antibody was also initiated in December 2010, and a regulatory submission requesting approval to start a Phase I study with a Boehringer Ingelheim-partnered XmAb product was submitted in October 2010.
The Pfizer collaboration is focused on exploiting Xencor's Xtend™ half-life prolongation technology and XmAb® ADCC enhancing technology to optimize performance of the company's therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. The Boehringer Ingelheim partnership is focused on the XmAb engineered Fc platform to improve antibodies against selected targets.
Xencor has additional collaborations ongoing with CSL, Centocor, and Human Genome Sciences, through which its antibody technologies are being applied to improve the features and function of antibody drug candidates.

Feeling festive
A local storytelling series gets into the holiday spirit (sort of).
By Jess Mayhugh. Posted on December 20, 2010, 12:00 pm
I'm usually a little slow on the uptake to get into the holiday spirit, but a couple things have been making me feel extra-festive as of late. This past weekend, I went to The Stoop's "O Little Town of Baltimore" live radio show at Center Stage. I wrote about my great Stoop experience back in June, and this event was no different. There was beautiful live music performances from Ellen Cherry, Caleb Stine, and Persian classical musician Ahmad Borhani.
The Stoop stories were all holiday themed and chronicled everything from being a gift wrapper at Hecht's to spending your holiday in a police station. One of my favorite monologues came from Simpson's writer Larry Doyle, who talked about his mom's innate ability to buy the most disappointing Christmas presents imaginable. Saturday's show was the second-to-last of its run, and boasted a sold-out crowd including City Councilman Keiffer Mitchell Jr. and restaurateur Ned Atwater.
Also, I was Christmas shopping in Hampden recently and saw maybe the most adorable party invitations (holiday or otherwise) I've ever seen. I was in the "party section" of Red Tree when I saw the coasters/invitations created by local company Gilah Press. The invitations come in four varieties: wine and cheese, cocktail, beer, and dinner parties. And besides being practically coaster-shaped, there are also check boxes, so the host can tell each invitee what they should bring (whether it's a pale ale, white wine, or semi-soft cheese). Pretty clever!
Stay tuned for holiday cocktail recipes later in the week!

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says that GOP nominee Donald Trump's recent suggestion that the U.S. might not come to the defense of NATO allies is another sign of Trump's "lack of preparedness" on foreign policy.
By Gareth Jones ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Supporters of Turkey's ruling and main opposition parties, usually bitter foes, were set to rally together on Sunday in support of democracy following a failed military coup as President Tayyip Erdogan tightens his grip on the country. In another demonstration of unity after the coup, which was staged by a faction within the armed forces, the head of Turkey's air force issued a rare statement stressing "absolute obedience" to the chief of the military General Staff. The chief of the military General Staff, Hulusi Akar, who was held hostage by the plotters on the night of July 15, condemned the plotters on Sunday as "cowards in uniform" who had greatly harmed the nation and the army.

"I've purchased two MBT shoes recently to replace the MBT's I bought several years ago. When they went out of business for awhile, I tried substitute shoes. But there is no substitute for MBTs. I have an artificial knee and a fused foot. With MBTs my joints are cushioned like shock absorbers. My posture is better. My energy level is higher. I sleep better and get more done. PLUS, I do not use my orthotics with MBTs. These shoes may have been designed scientifically. But their effect is almost miraculous to me. I feel stronger, mentally sharper and can walk longer with no fatigue. I would highly recommend them to anyone with feet or knee problems. And if you don't like them, Footwear etc. will take them back no problem and no questions asked. And I know why-- because MBTs are that good."

Photos: Last Chance, Colorado, barely endures ravages of time and fire
Back in the 1980s, when I still had in-laws working a family farm out on the eastern plains, I used to head out to visit them on U.S. 36 and pause, like many drivers did, at a wide spot in the road called Last Chance. It was a place for gas and chips and a soft-serve and maybe a bed if you were a bug-eyed trucker, a place to stretch and refresh on the long haul to the dwindling amenities of the places ahead -- hardscrabble farming centers with names like Cope, Joes and Kirk.
A place to stop for a moment and take stock, gaping at the sprawling blue sky and the endless procession of fleecy, swift-moving clouds bumping against the undulations of the high plains, a spectacle celebrated in the collected works of Kent Haruf.
The in-laws are gone now. The land endures. And so, just barely, does Last Chance, despite the ravages of time and last month's devastating prairie fire.
Years of diminishing business closed down the Dairy King, the motel, and some other businesses at this crossroads settlement. On June 25, sparks from a blowout on the road just about finished the job. The parched grasses on either side went up like -- well, straw. Within a few hours, the blaze stretched across miles, devouring pastures and cornfields and a sizable ledger of properties, shuttered or not, in town.

Local ranchers and fire departments pooled resources and fought like hell. Fortunately, no one died. The 45,0000 acres blackened by the blaze -- one of the largest wildfires in Colorado history, but hardly noticed in the wake of the High Park and Waldo Canyon conflagrations -- have left the southwestern part of Washington County looking like a lunar landscape, void of life. It's eerie and grim and harshly beautiful, all at the same time, a disconcerting combination Nathan Federico's photographs express so eloquently.
But the land endures. And so do the people of Last Chance. Below are photos of Last Chance, shot this week by Nathan Federico for Westword.

Further Action Could Improve Improper Payment Prevention and Recoupment Efforts
GAO-14-619T: Published: May 20, 2014. Publicly Released: May 20, 2014.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7114
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that oversees Medicare, has made progress improving improper payment prevention and recoupment efforts in the Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) program, but further actions are needed.
Provider enrollment. CMS has implemented certain provider enrollment screening procedures authorized by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) that address past weaknesses identified by GAO and others. The agency has also put in place other measures intended to strengthen existing procedures, but could do more to improve provider enrollment screening and ultimately reduce improper payments. For example, CMS has hired contractors to determine whether providers and suppliers have valid licenses, meet certain Medicare standards, and are at legitimate locations. CMS also recently contracted for fingerprint-based criminal history checks of providers and suppliers it has identified as high-risk. However, CMS has not implemented other screening actions authorized by PPACA that could further strengthen provider enrollment.
Prepayment controls. In response to GAO's prior recommendations, CMS has taken steps to improve the development of certain prepayment edits—prepayment controls used to deny Medicare claims that should not be paid; however, important actions that could further prevent improper payments have not yet been implemented. For example, CMS has implemented an automated edit to identify services billed in medically unlikely amounts, but has not implemented a GAO recommendation to examine certain edits to determine whether they should be revised to reflect more restrictive payment limits. GAO has found that wider use of prepayment edits could help prevent improper payments and generate savings for Medicare.
Postpayment claims reviews. Postpayment claims reviews help CMS identify and recoup improper payments. Medicare uses a variety of contractors to conduct such reviews, which generally involve reviewing a provider's documentation to ensure that the service was billed properly and was covered, reasonable, and necessary. GAO has found that differing requirements for the various contractors may reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of such reviews. To improve these reviews, GAO has previously recommended CMS examine ways to make the contractor requirements more consistent. CMS reported that it has begun to address these recommendations. Although the percentage of Medicare claims that undergo postpayment review remains very small, GAO has found that the overall number of postpayment claims reviews has been increasing in recent years. HHS has reported that the increase in claims reviews is one factor causing backlogs in the Medicare appeals process.
GAO has ongoing work focused on how CMS could continue its efforts to reduce improper Medicare payments. For instance, GAO is examining the extent to which CMS's provider enrollment system can help prevent and detect the continued enrollment of ineligible providers in Medicare. GAO also has work underway to examine whether CMS has strategies for coordinating postpayment review contractors' claims review activities.
Why GAO Did This Study
Due to its size, complexity, and susceptibility to mismanagement and improper payments, GAO has designated Medicare as a high-risk program. In 2013, Medicare financed health care services for approximately 51 million individuals at a cost of about $604 billion, and reported an estimated $50 billion in improper payments—payments that either were made in an incorrect amount or should not have been made at all. Most of these improper payments were made through the Medicare FFS program, which pays providers based on claims and uses contractors to pay the claims and ensure program integrity.
This statement focuses on the progress made and steps still to be taken by CMS to improve improper payment prevention and recoupment efforts in the Medicare FFS program. This statement is based on relevant GAO products and recommendations issued from 2007 through 2014 using a variety of methodologies. GAO also updated information by examining public documents and, in April 2014, GAO received updated information from CMS on its actions related to laws and regulations discussed in this statement.

This course is designed for anybody who's already gotten started with the web development software Drupal and now wants to go a little bit further. We'll continue along the lines started in Drupal 7 Essential Training, pointing and clicking through Drupal's web-based interface to improve your site's interactivity and appearance. But we'll also go beyond Drupal's point-and-click interface to see Unix commands that are useful for advanced system administration and you'll see a Drupal-specific tool called Drush that lets you maintain your site faster and easier than ever before.
You'll get experience with such advanced modules as Rules and Context, which give you programmer-like control without having to write a single line of code. You'll see how to create flexible layouts and designs as well using the Panels module and starter themes that help give your site a completely unique look. Finally, we'll answer the bigger questions such as how do I plan my site and what's the best way to make Drupal part of my career? Let's get started with Drupal 7 Advanced Training.
