On March 10, 2014, Halifax Hospital Medical Center and Halifax Staffing, Inc. (collectively, "Halifax") entered into a settlement agreement and a corporate integrity agreement ("CIA") to resolve claims brought under the False Claims Act ("FCA"), alleging Halifax entered into improper incentive compensation arrangements with certain physicians in exchange for Medicare referrals. Halifax agreed to, among other things, pay $85 million in damages, with nearly a quarter of the settlement to go to the qui tam relator, and admit that it violated the Stark Law as described in an earlier ruling by the court. The settlement is said to be one of the largest for Stark Law violations.
Under the CIA, which has a five-year term, Halifax must retain an Independent Review Organization ("IRO") to perform annual reviews for submission to the OIG on whether Halifax is complying with the terms of its CIA. The CIA also requires the Board of Commissioners of Halifax to be responsible for the review and oversight of matters related to compliance with Federal health program requirements and the obligations of the CIA, including meeting at least bimonthly to review and oversee the compliance program and considering the results of the compliance program reviews required by the CIA. In addition to the IRO, Halifax must retain a "Board compliance expert" to assist the Board of Commissioners in fulfilling these responsibilities during the term of the CIA. The CIA also includes the standard reporting and certification requirements found in these types of agreements. The settlement and corresponding CIA arises out of a June 2009 lawsuit filed by qui tam relator, Elin Baklid-Kunz, the Director of Physician Services at Halifax. Relator's lawsuit alleged improper billing practices and unnecessary medical admissions in violation of the FCA, and separate Stark Law violations based on alleged improper incentive compensation arrangements whereby physician bonus payments were divided and varied based on the volume of Medicare referrals by each physician. This, in turn, led Halifax to falsely certify compliance with the Stark Law and submit claims in violation of the FCA.
In October 2011, the Government intervened as to the Stark Law-related claims, but declined to intervene as to relator's remaining FCA claims alleging improper billing practices and unnecessary medical admissions. In November 2013, the Court granted partial summary judgment for the Government, finding a Stark Law violation in fact occurred due to the incentive compensation arrangement, but found a genuine dispute of fact regarding the extent of the violation and whether Halifax acted "knowingly" as required to state a claim under the FCA. The Court also did not address relator's remaining FCA claims and thereafter severed, for purposes of trial, the "knowledge" and damages elements of the alleged Stark Law violations from relator's remaining FCA claims alleging improper billing practices and unnecessary medical admissions.
The March 10, 2014 settlement resolves only the alleged Stark Law violations. The remaining FCA violations advanced by relator for improper billing practices and unnecessary medical admissions are set for trial on July 8, 2014.
Though beyond the scope of this discussion, the Halifax case also dealt with the attorney client privilege and whether such privilege had been waived by Halifax by virtue of the manner in which the internal investigation had been handled. As a result, practitioners should carefully review the court's analysis of this issue.

Alec Baldwin may be impressed by the Italian government's attitude towards arts funding -- the actor testified on Capitol Hill about its virtues yesterday -- but the board of directors at MAXXI (Rome's Museum of Twenty-First Century Art) is not. In a statement released this week, board president Pio Baldi expressed surprise and disappointment at the culture ministry's rejection of their 2012 budget and subsequent plans to replace the museum's administrators with a government-appointed commissariat.
MAXXI, Rome's Museum of Twenty-First Century Art / Courtesy Wikipedia
By Baldi's account, the museum has been performing well and is far more financially independent than its peers in other countries. In 2011, MAXXI's revenue from admissions, sponsorships, and leasing of the museum space totalled €5.6 million ($7.3 million), more than half its budget that year. By way of comparison, last year the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (MACBA) operated on an annual budget of €12 million ($15.6 million), of which 75 percent is guaranteed by its founding members; and the Pompidou Center outpost in Metz relies on founding members for 90 percent of its operating needs of €10 million ($13 million). Describing the €10 million budget he submitted to the culture ministry as "an indispensable minimum for the museum's activities," Baldi scoffed at the notion that MAXXI was operating beyond reasonable means of sustainability. "The 2011 budget is without holes," he said during a press conference on Friday. "It's wrong of them to confuse the deficit with the needs of the future."
Baldi has so far failed to convince Mario Resca, director general for the enhancement of cultural heritage at the Ministry of Culture, who oversees the management of state museums like MAXXI. Elaborating on the curt, two-sentence statement published on the Ministry's website, Resca told the New York Times he was certain that the museum could do more to stand on its own feet. "The Maxxi has great potential for development and needs to aggregate private sponsors and new institutions," he said. "This just hasn't happened." While some foreigners might praise Italy's approach of direct state funding for the arts, Resca thinks corporate sponsors, lured by tax breaks, may be the real answer for the country's struggling museums. "Italy needs to imitate the situations of other countries," he told the Times, in brazen defiance of Mr. Baldwin's analysis.

Creation Gallery
Part ghost story, part psychological thriller, part heart-wrenching love story Creation is the powerful story of Charles Darwin and the single most explosive idea in history. Darwin's great, still controversial, book on The Origin of Species depicts nature as a battleground. In Creation the battleground is a man's heart. Torn between his love for his deeply religious wife and his own growing belief in a world where God has no place, Darwin finds himself caught in a struggle between faith and reason, love and truth. View photos from the film.

I'm Asian, and I'm Going Camping!
This Labor Day weekend, I'm heading to Yosemite National Park with my family for a weekend of camping, hiking and swimming. Every summer, we spend several days camped out in a national park – no Internet, TV, cell phones, or electricity.
To be completely honest, being so completely unplugged makes me rather uncomfortable. I thought this was because, as a blogger, I'm completely addicted to my iPhone, my Twitter, my email. But a study released by the National Parks Service this summer suggests it might be because I'm… Asian. The study that reported 90% of visitors to U.S. National Parks are White, a number which hasn't changed much in the past ten years, despite increasing racial diversity in the United States.
Image Credit: col&tasha, via Flickr
Not that I don't enjoy – even love and crave -- nature. I was fortunate, growing up as the daughter of immigrants from Taiwan, to have a childhood full of family car trips to Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon. (One interesting note from the study: Asian and Native American are the minorities most likely to visit a national park.) While my parents took us hiking and fishing and visiting any site with a historical marker, our family never actually pitched a tent or slept outdoors. Why? When we could pull into the nearest Motel 6? And do you know how hard it is to steam rice on a Coleman stove?
My husband, on the other hand, relishes these expeditions -- the more outdoors, the better. He was raised on the quintessential American road trips – his family owned a RV and drove to campgrounds around the country, where they would while away their vacation playing cards at the picnic table.
While the expense and travel time is part of the reason behind the low numbers of ethnic minorities using National Parks, it's not that simple. Visiting these sites is nearly free. Yosemite charges a $20 weekly use fee, and a campsite doesn't cost much more than that. It's pretty inexpensive, compared with taking a family to Disneyland – or even staying at a Motel 6.
In an interview with
Our National Parks.org Shelton Johnson, an African American and a ranger at Yosemite, explains that recreation habits are largely learned from one's upbringing:
"We learn to recreate from our parents, so if our parents never went to parks, as is the case with most minorities, the kids won't even think to go to national parks. So when they go to take a vacation, the thought of experiencing the wilderness is entirely foreign.
That makes a lot of sense, as I recall a conversation about camping I once had with a Vietnamese American friend. She quipped, "Camping? We came to America so we don't have to sleep on the ground in tents!"
The National Park Service's plan to attract more racial diversity to its sites includes raising awareness among people of color. Oprah Winfrey took on the cause last fall, when when she and Gayle King roadtripped to Yosemite to camp and meet up with Ranger Shelton Johnson. In the summer of 2009, President Obama and his family visited Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon for their first time.
Other suggestions to increase ethnic diversity at the landmarks include more multi-lingual signage and multicultural interpretive displays. From the National Parks Service Comprehensive Survey of the American Public:
For example, althought it is relevant to interpret the significance of slavery at Civil War battlefield sites, it is equally relevant to interpret the stories of African American success, in addition to African American enslavement.
Also, there is the need to understand cultural travel habits. Asian Americans, for example, might be more inclined to outdoor recreation with a large ethnic or religious group, as opposed to just with the nuclear family. Part of this cultural sensitivity could come as a result of hiring more people of color within the parks service, where 80% of full-time employees are White.
And with exposure, people can learn to enjoy the outdoors, even if it's not something they're traditionally comfortable with. Over the five years that my husband and I have been taking our kids camping, I have grown to appreciate the wonders of our environment in a new and deeper way. Our bodies get exhausted from long hikes, sometimes the weather's too cold (we hightailed it out of Yosemite Valley on Memorial Day several years ago as snow flurries flew), sometimes it's too hot. But removing ourselves from civilization also removes the stresses of daily life. The kids don't ask for TV or video games – because those things simply aren't there. Instead, we float in the Merced River or build a campfire under the shadow of Half Dome, and our bodies and minds take on a different rhythm... the rhythm of nature.
What are you doing this Labor Day weekend? Let's talk about about how your cultural background has shaped your idea of recreation.

Toronto is home to some of the best patios with a view. From sweeping skylines to cosy glimpses of Toronto neighbourhoods, the city offers a rooftop establishment to suit everything from intimate gatherings to premiere parties.
Thompson Toronto
You need to be a guest at the Thompson Hotel, a lounge member or have friends in high places to get into this exclusive rooftop lounge. Once you're in, however, you can take in a gorgeous 360-view of Toronto, while sipping on creative cocktails like the Cinnamon Sour (made with bourbon, apple nectar, cinnamon and sour foam) and the Sage & Spirit (made with cazadores anejo, honey, sage and lemon). This is not the place for a casual date night: the lounge enforces a strict dress code prohibiting shorts, running shoes, flip flops and any bachelorette accessories. Absolutely no tiaras allowed.
The Drake Sky Yard
This Queen West staple's rooftop patio is not only "climate-defiant," as it's been described, but it's also received a design overhaul that includes long, comfortable benches, great for groups or couples. Open all year round, you won't only find patio heaters to keep you toasty at this trendy hangout, there's a fire pit too.
The Pilot Tavern
Patrons enjoy a bird's eye view at this rooftop deck in Yorkville. Fittingly, the deck of this 60 plus year establishment features a streamlined aeronautic look reflective of the pub's heritage. With its vast pub grub menu and automated awning, this patio is open for business year-round.
Murphy's Law
The rooftop patio at Murphy's Law, with a perfect view of Lake Ontario and the pretty Beaches neighbourhood that surrounds it, makes this place a destination.
Brazen Head Irish Pub
Head up to the Liberty Village pub's massive rooftop bar on Thursday and Saturday evenings for wide city views, gooey Brazen nachos and weekly live music. When the weather cooperates, local musicians will be on-hand to play low-key bar tunes and Top 40 covers.
Momofuku Daisho
This patio offers a lovely view of downtown Toronto, particularly in the evening when the city lights up. Though there is seating available, some people may opt to take to their food and examine the view from different angles. Try not to drop any food over the railing!
Providing a great view of King West, this patio overlooks the bustling street perfect for people watching. Located in the TIFF Bell Light Box, you can easily take in a movie before or after you eat, and the venue becomes a hot spot for celebrities during TIFF.
The Works Gourmet Burger Bistro
Not the sort of space you'd expect for a chain restaurant, this rooftop patio provides a handsome view of the neighbourhood with a fixed roof to keep the sun from beating down upon you. It makes for a much nicer burger-eating experience – and there's a large variety of toppings and innovative burger creations to try out too.
Globe Bistro
Climb three flights of stairs to the sleek wooden patio, decked out with funky animal print benches and an array of colourful plants. With dark wood and white stucco against the blue sky, it kind of feels like you're on a Mediterranean vacation. The Globe's locally-minded and eco-conscious menu boasts elk and Ontario game and the chef offers a daily tasting menu, plus a killer brunch menu.
The Chase
A comfortable patio to enjoy a view of the city from up above. The posh feeling of the patio is reflected in the menu and the clientele, so wear something nice if you're planning a stop here. The Chase is known for serving some of the best seafood in the city.

The Discussion
looks pretty cool dunno if its "redefining the way [i] think of keyboards" though.. also, not having any arrow keys wont make it very useful with media center but still, might be handy on the go
There are arrow keys. It's the 4 way hat switch on the bottom right, which got me thinking that it might actually be better than 4 individual buttons if you're playing a web game.
Being able to walk around with the keyboard doesn't really help when the computer stays in the same room.
I don't quite see what's so revolutionary about a wireless keyboard. They've been around for a long time.
It looks smart, though.
there is? i didnt notice that.. would be cool to see more of that yeah, control pad (or d-pad rather) style arrow keys would be useful. it would be neat if they put a little joystick mouse or a multitouch pad on it too
even more cool would be if you could use it with what ever screen was closest, if you where in the living room it would "be active" on your tv, sit at your desk and it would be active on your desktop. now that would be awsome
I think the thing with the Arc (the whole line) is the portability. Sean might use in his living room, but this keyboard will be the staple for my backpack. I carry an Arc mouse (two actually) with me everywhere because I like it better than trackpads, so as I move from computer to computer I take the mouse with me. Now I'll probably do the same thing with this keyboard. I also keep my laptop up on a kensington stand, so using its keyboard is a painful stretch, this will help. And some of my machines (Sony UX and Tablets) just don't have usable keyboards, so I suspect I'd use it there too.
Al, you've got some niche scenarios. I think that would require multiple dongles per keyboard (the dongles are paired to the devices like an avatar to their mountain banshee for zero config/setup) but you could probably do that with Synergy. http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
If you are using both the Arc Mouse and the Arc keyboard are you using two USB ports. One for the mouse transceiver and one for the keyboard. Or will they both work off of one common transceiver?
Wouldn't it be great if someone were to invent some kind of unified wireless protocol so that not every little device needs to come with its own stupid little plug? What would be even greater is if that protocol had some kind of catchy name, maybe incorporating a color. Something like RedTooth. Doesn't that sound cool?
Nifty idea. I think it needs a cover for the nano-transceiver. I can see that getting knocked off easily enough.
An improvement idea. If you could pull a screen out of the top that would be handy. What's the smallest computer now; netbook? Something like that where you can do instant on basic stuff anywhere, but then connect to a more powerful machine elsewhere to do more grunty work. Netbooks don't let you upsale your CPU power, RAM, GPU, etc. Scenario would be like when I'm onsite and all I want is a browser, email and basic tools, then back to the office and home, you can plug into and access more resources. Kinda like thin client or termimal services, but without the need of permenant comms.
Note: If it could have Mr Buxton's point at any screen idea; forget the pull out screen idea.
I would rather not have a USB dongle at all. I hope there will be Bluetooth versions of the Arc keyboard and mouse.
We need a bluetooth version compatible with Windows Mobile Devices and Phones...

Surely, the idea of vegetarianism, both as a promotion of a healthy lifestyle and as a response to the issues of animal welfare and animal rights, is to re-educate one's palate to enjoy the many alternatives to a carnivorous (or, more precisely, an omnivorous) diet. It is not making those sources, such as soya beans, taste as 'meaty' as possible.
Yours sincerely,

Yesterday had some fun waves in New jersey, put in a good amount of hours. After a couple of hours being on the mainland my chest started to hurt. Now every time I lean on my chest or put pressure on it, it hurts. This happens most times I surf for over 3 hours. It feels like a bruise however I have no idea. Just wondering if this happens to others and these others know anything about it.
Thanks for the help

Chest pains
Apr 20, 2014, 04:30 PM #2
my guess would be heartburn for swallowing little bits of saltwater.happens every time
Apr 20, 2014, 06:04 PM #3
Bruised sternum bro? Could at least be tender if not bruised. Overuse injury if it always happens over 3 hours. If I'm you, I'm saying thanks for 3+hr sessions and sucking up the chest pain.
Oh wait, I totally recall that this could all be irritating your third nipple...
Apr 20, 2014, 06:09 PM #4
There was a thread about this a while back give it a search if you'd like. Basically the jist of the thread was that the pain is bruising from pushing your chest on your board, usually on people with out allot of muscle on there chest. I don't know though I never had this pain. My chest will crack after a session sometimes but I enjoy that.
Apr 20, 2014, 06:10 PM #5
Quite common after long sessions, especially if you haven't been out for a while...to ease your mind if your anxious about it, have it checked out.

Haha I'm just doing my part
Long ago when I went to a longboard for a few years I noticed the same thing. Now that I ride mostly small to really small boards that sink under my weight I'd doesn't happen anymore. I never figured out how to stop it.

London Paralympics Hitting Record Sales, Could Cause Major Gridlock
Published August 14, 2012
PARALYMPIC AWARENESS: The BBC reported that Int'l Paralympic Committee Head of Media Craig Spence said that "awareness of the Paralympics was at a record high." He added that traffic to the Paralympics official website has increased by 200%, Twitter followers of the IPC (@Paralympic) grew by 25% during the three hours of Sunday's Closing Ceremony, and #paralympics was trending worldwide overnight. Spence: "We've already beaten Beijing by 300,000 seats, which is a phenomenal achievement and shows the insatiable hunger in Britain for elite sport." The Paralympics will run from Aug. 29-Sept. 9 and will be staged largely in the Olympic Park, with sailing events at Weymouth and Portland, rowing at Eton Dorney and road cycling events at Brands Hatch, south of London. Wheelchair tennis matches will be staged at Eton Manor, a stadium inside the Olympic Park, rather than at Wimbledon (BBC, 8/13). The London DAILY MAIL noted there is "record demand to see the Paralympics," which London's Transport Chief warned could cause London to "grind to a halt." London's Commissioner for Transport Peter Hendy said that staging the world's second-biggest sporting event just as the new school year begins in September "could cause travel chaos." Hendy urged people not to underestimate "the scale of hosting another world event and continue to plan accordingly" (DAILY MAIL, 8/13).

I have never experienced gout until now. I have been stressing about my stepdaughter for the last month. She is marrying a guy she met on the internet in 3 weeks and has NEVER met him. Wedding invitations have never gone out. She has badgered her bridesmaids with lies and deceptions to get them to buy the dress which has included my 16 year old daughter. Its on my mind 24/7. I pester my poor husband every day. I have talked to her until I'm blue in the face and she still insists on going through with this wedding. We haven't been on speaking terms since a week ago. Guess what? Gout arrived last Thursday evening.

The U.S. Institute for Peace wants to change its name. What's the matter with peace all of the sudden?

Reviews for this vacation home rental in Cape Coral, Florida
Fantastic villa!

We recently stayed at villa riverfront, and had the most amazing time! The villa is stunning with the most spectacular views, it's situated in a great location. We will definitely be returning here again.

Very Nice Rental - with a couple of caveats
February 1, 2016
We found this one level vacation rental comfortable and very well located in an attractive area of Cape Coral. Grocery shopping was convenient, with a Publix just 6-7 minutes away. The view of the river is especially nice. Two of the televisions "died" during our stay, but property managers Chris and Yvonne were very responsive and things were fixed quickly. The home's owner called early on and it was nice to speak with him for a few minutes. There was a mix-up on check-in day; we thought it was for 2pm but apparently it was 4. Therein lies my only complaint: perhaps because of our early arrival the house was not cleaned to a very high standard. The master bath rug was filthy, and the dishwasher had an extremely strong, sour odor. I had to run it empty on the sanitary wash , high heat dry cycle. The glass shelf behind the master bath toilet had a thick layer of lint and dust. Little things, but cumulatively they make for a slightly disappointing first impression. 2 hrs before check-in staff should be making the final touches on the cleaning! That being said, once issues like this are corrected, this house really shines as a rental.
Owner's reply:
Dear Deborah. Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the house & your vacation. Sorry for your misunderstanding regarding check in time. It?s clearly stated at all our advertising?s & the rental agreement check-in4 pm, check out10 am. To clean the house professionally the cleaning crew need 6 Hours of cleaning. If guests arrive early & move in earlier, that will stress the cleaning staff & they may miss some details, which obviously happened at your earlier check in. Yvonne & Chris
Beautiful view!!!! Lovely villa

Spacious home that met the needs of two families traveling together, with a total of 7 people. Beautiful views day and night with the chance to see dolphins playing each morning and some evenings. Great dock with ample space and seating. There were a few maintenance issues that we had to address however the manager and office addressed our concerns and sent repair men to mimimally repair light fixtures that were not working and the hot tub that was also not working (they did replace it). The manager was great and allowed us to text her anytime and offered tips on places to go, and when. The owners are working to continue to update the home, as a repair man came to evaluate the screens in the pool room that they were replacing soon (there seemed nothing wrong with them to our eye). Overall we loved our experience here, and look forward to returning. Have no hesitation with this home or company. Easy and smooth renting.

Nice home in nice area (dead end - little traffic) Nice comfy beds in all rooms - the pool in the front room was very nice to have - no bugs. The deck is large and lots of chairs - seeing in morning watching both dolphins and manatee swim by - very cool. I missed the beach but other than that this home is very comfortable- nice big clean kitchen. We rented kaykas and they where very hard to get into and out of from the dock but once in them really enjoyed having them and going up the cannels. Did not like the paying for the electricity - $150 for 2 weeks - would rather not have to worry about that and have that included in the cost of the rental.
Owner's reply:
Hi Patti
Thank you for your posted review
Glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Villa Riverfront.
Electric usage
It's not possible to include electric in the house rental price
It would not be fair to add an average usage charge when families of 8-10 people use much more electric than a family of 2 or 4 people.Also you read electric meter yourself at arrival and departure & pay at check out
All depend also how much you use the SPA & the temperature setting in the pool.

Thank you Chris and Yvonne for helping us have a great vacation. As you know, this house once belonged to my daughter, so it was wonderful to be there once again. This location is the best in all of Cape Coral and this house is amazing for a couple or a good size family. An indoor pool to keep the bugs away at night. Nice!! I would recommend this vacation rental to anyone. If you could folks, rent the boat, it's worth the extra money. Chris and Yvonne, you are a part of my extended family.

Gorgeous place in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed it so much that we stayed at the house almost the entire week without going out but twice. Seriously, a wonderful place to relax and unwind. The indoor pool was perfect and minus the sunburn. T`he views were amazing as storms went past and we enjoyed many sunny days watching the water and boats going past.

We travel a lot to Florida mostly to the Sarasota, Orlando areas, and I was loo king for something different. When I saw the location, very close to the river, i decided on renting. The house and location are better than in piectures. The outside deck is gorgeous, we could see dolphins and manatees specially at night. I rented a boat and we loved the experience and we used a lot. The tv at the swimming pool area was excellent.
What a great place to stay

My family recently stayed at this property and completely enjoyed our experience. We enjoyed the sea life that seemed to come to the dock each night from, jumping dolphins to manatee's and sea turtles, etc. The indoor pool was so refreshing to swim and relax in after laying out in the hot sun. The home itself was upscale and had a great layout. The beds were comfortable, the property clean and the owner so so very accomodating. We would absolutely stay at this property again! We loved it!

Alcohol, drugs and other dependencies
The reasons for addiction and dependencies are varied. Addiction can be a complex disease, or disorder - a vicious cycle that can be very difficult to break without the right support.
At Mission Australia we deliver a holistic approach by seeking to understand the social, environmental, physical, mental and vocational experiences and after-effects of addiction. We work with people across all areas of personal development, with the goal of breaking the addiction and living a happy, healthy life without problematic alcohol and drug use.
While not everyone who drinks alcohol, uses drugs or engages in gambling has an addiction, people who misuse these can experience devastating impacts on their physical, emotional and mental health.
The reason people develop addiction may include using alcohol and drugs to deal with grief and loss, experiences of violence and trauma, experimentation, or mental health issues. In reality, drug and alcohol addiction is a complex disease because it changes the brain in ways that makes stopping very difficult, even for people who really want to.
Drug and alcohol addiction remains one of the most pressing health and social issues facing young Australians. The use of methamphetamines such as ICE is at epidemic levels in our country and the impacts are undoubtedly horrific for young people and their families.
Many young people experiencing drug and alcohol addiction also suffer from mental health issues.

Gambling addiction
While most Australians gamble for entertainment, thousands of people experience addiction to gambling that is harmful to themselves and the people around them. The Productivity Commission's Report on Gambling found that around 115,000 Australian adults experience problem gambling, with a further 280,000 at moderate risk of developing a problem.

While other surgical specialties, such as neurosurgery and thoracic surgery, have already broached the ethical discussion surrounding sham surgery as a research method, published discussion regarding the use of the sham orthopaedic model has been limited1. One solution in orthopaedics would be to open up the debate and the decision-making process to the surgeons, as there is no current forum or body to do this2. An essential question in the debate on the ethics of sham surgery concerns resolving the tension between the highest standard of research design (the double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial) and the highest standard of ethics (to do no harm to the patient)3.
We use published orthopaedic studies to analyze the ethical issues that pertain to sham surgery as a methodology in orthopaedic research. In addition, we provide a foundation for the orthopaedic surgeon on the subject of sham surgery as a research tool. Our goal is to advance both the discussion and the understanding of the ethical issues surrounding sham orthopaedic surgery as it applies to orthopaedic surgeons and their patients.
The Need for Sham Surgery in Orthopaedics
Few physicians and researchers would deny the existence of the sham (placebo) surgery effect. However, the degree to which the placebo effect impacts outcomes is not completely understood. A comprehensive metaanalysis of research on the placebo effect indicated that subjective outcomes can be attributable to "placebo" effects or bias4,5. Therefore, a study that evaluates treatment outcomes should account for the placebo effect5.
These findings are relevant to a discussion involving outcome measures in orthopaedic surgery, as subjective measures such as function and pain are frequently used in clinical orthopaedic studies6,7. These measures are often difficult to gauge objectively. The variable and subjective nature of pain and function lacks the …

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
One of my favorite awards shows each year are the Shorty Awards, which honor the best short-form content published across social media - including Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, YouTube, Foursquare, and the rest of the social Web. I think we too often forget that, behind the deluge of links flooding our social media streams, a new art form is being created.
The Shortys recognize that social media is about more than who can get the most followers. Every day -- every minute and second, really -- we are creating millions of pieces of new writing that will define our generation, the way hand-written letters and linotype newspapers once did.
These writings are more than just passing thoughts -- they are creating our history of record. I'm sure that in the future, biographers will collect Tweets and Tumblogs from eminent people to create records of their lives. Until then, we have the Shortys.
The Shortys, as they are also affectionately known, will be holding its 4th annual ceremony tonight, hosted by "The Daily Show" correspondents Samantha Bee and Jason Jones. In the previous three years, Shortys have been awarded to celebrities like Conan O'Brien and Neil Patrick Harris, politicians like Newark Mayor Cory Booker, journalists like Suze Orman, organizations like NASA -- and even to Sesame Street's Grover, who gave one of my favorite acceptance speeches ever, which you can watch here:
What really makes the awards special are not the celebrities and other famous people, but the previously unknown talent and unsung heroes who are recognized.
This year, for example, there will be a #LifeSavingHero Shorty Award, presented to a real life hero using Twitter and the social web to save lives.
Check out the profiles of the finalists:
- Gidi Traffic (@Gidi_Traffic): A popular Nigerian traffic monitor, Gidi Traffic is a prolific eye-in-the-sky to keep track of the chaotic streets of Lagos.

Historic Center of Český Krumlov
Český Krumlov is an outstanding example of a central European small town dating from the Middle Ages that owes the structure and buildings of its historic core to its economic importance and relatively undisturbed organic development over some five centuries. The town grew up within a meander of the Vltava river, which provides a natural setting of great beauty. Its evolution over time is evident with startling clarity from its buildings and its urban infrastructure. It has profited from a relatively peaceful history in that it has retained its entire medieval layout and most of its historic buildings relatively intact. Restoration and conservation has been slight and so there can be no question as to the authenticity of both the townscape and its components.
The site is located on an ancient east-west communication route at a crossing of the Vltava River. The earliest documentary record of 1253 refers to the existence there of a castle belonging to a member of the ruling Vitkovici family of south Bohemia. The core of the castle (Hradek) dates from the 13th century. Settlement developed to the east (Latrán) and also on the opposite bank of the river round a central square. This multi-nodal urban development is a characteristic of medieval town development, especially in northern and central Europe. It was the seat of the influential Rožmberk family for 300 years from the mid-14th century. The Gothic castle was reconstructed in Renaissance style, with the involvement of leading artists of the period. The wealth and importance of the town is reflected in the high quality of many of the burgher houses, as the presence of the seat of government led to Český Krumlov becoming an important craft and trade centre. There was also considerable ecclesiastical development, illustrated by the major 15th-century church of St Vitus and monasteries of various preaching and itinerant orders. The town later passed to the equally influential Schwarzenberg family, and it retained its importance well into the 19th century.
There are two main historic areas - the Latrán area below the castle and the town proper on the opposite bank, in the meander of the Vltava River. The town has a regular street layout, typical of the planned towns of the Middle Ages, with streets radiating out from the central square and a circular intra-rampart road. The castle contains elements from the Gothic, High Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles. It is dominated by the Gothic Hradek with its round tower; this was subsequently converted into a Baroque chateau with the addition of a garden, the Bellaire summer palace, a winter riding school, and a unique Baroque theatre of 1766. Both Latrán and the town proper contain undisturbed ensembles of burgher houses from High Gothic onwards. They are notable for their facades, internal layouts and decorative detail, especially carved wooden Renaissance ceilings.
The Church of St Vitus, dating from the early 15th century, anticipates High Gothic in its reticulated vaulting and is significant in the European context. Other important historic elements are the Renaissance Jesuit College and Baroque seminary, the Town Hall (created by combining several burgher houses and embellishing them with a Renaissance facade), the remains of the fortifications, especially the Budejovicka Gate (a Renaissance structure, modelled on Italian originals), and the Renaissance armoury in Latrán.
The small towns of Bohemia are, because of their relatively untouched condition, of great importance in illustrating organic urban evolution in medieval and Renaissance central Europe in response to political, social and economic developments, and Český Krumlov is the finest surviving example, in terms of both its intactness and the quality of its buildings and townscape.

Jordan James Johnson, the Richburg man whose 116 Dobermans were rescued from disgusting conditions on his property, will not be getting the dogs back, a judge ruled on Thursday.
Johnson, 48, was arrested last September after animal control officers found the dogs living in "grossly unsanitary" conditions. He initially faced 198 changes ranging from ill treatment of animals to violating the state rabies control law.
An Ohio woman who owns property on Billy Kirk Road in Heath Springs said someone stole nearly all the fish from her pond, a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office incident report said.
According to the report, a man who tends the property at 1092 Billy Kirk Road for the owner, Charles Bailey, went to check on it Feb. 11 and found the gate had been broken open sometime in the last month.
The reporting deputy said it appeared as if someone had driven down to the nearly one-acre pond, backed in a boat then proceeded to seine-net the pond for fish.

The Catawba Area Agency on Aging will use a recent grant to help seniors struggling to buy groceries apply for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to stretch their food budgets.
The program, part of a National Council on Aging nationwide effort, addresses the millions of Americans 65 and over who face a double whammy: fixed incomes and rising food costs.
It's hard to say no to 9-year-old Alyssa Mangum.
Last year, she amassed hundreds of yeses in three months.
Alyssa was the No. 1 Girl Scout cookie seller in Lancaster County. The Heath Springs fourth grader sold 1,005 boxes of cookies, most in the sparsely populated southeastern end of the county.
The 2017 cookie campaign has begun, and Alyssa is going strong. She has already sold 200 boxes and has about six weeks remaining.

For the second time in just over a year, the City of Chester is looking for a new police chief.
Tammy Levister abruptly resigned from the Chester Police Department last Friday.
Don't be surprised if a Lancaster police officer just walks right up to you this week and starts chatting.
Sure, there's a chance he suspects you of a crime or wants you to snitch on someone, but more likely he just wants to hear what's on your mind.
On Wednesday, the Lancaster Police Department rolled out Take Five, a systematic way for officers to connect with the people they protect and serve.
State Rep. Tommy Pope on Monday joined the crowded GOP field lining up to run for Mick Mulvaney's U.S. House seat if he vacates it to become White House budget director.
As the House speaker pro tem, Pope is the highest-profile candidate to announce for the seat. He had previously stated his intention to run for governor in 2018, but President Trump's election and his selection of Mulvaney have changed those plans.
The repaving of White Street in downtown Lancaster is in full swing, with multiple crews working at several locations. This week, workers are re-forming sidewalk curbs at the intersection of North White and East Barr Street to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Down the block, another crew mills up the old pavement one section at a time. Water leaks have caused short delays, said Ken Wilson, SCDOT resident engineer. "The equipment vibrates the road and breaks some of the pipes because of their age," he said.
New details emerged Thursday in some of the area's highest-profile murder cases, as suspects appeared at bond hearings in Lancaster County General Sessions Court.
Appearing before Circuit Judge Casey Manning were Na'Chon Jakeh Hayden and Chris Jawan Glass, two of the four defendants in the April 2016 drug robbery and murder of 20-year-old Randy Tran in Indian Land.
Also appearing in court was Arkevous Jimon Cauthen, charged in the May 2016 killings of Sandra Johnson and John Harden Duncan in Heath Springs.
Kevin Cauthen
Special to The Lancaster News
Editor's note: Kevin Cauthen sent us this evocative remembrance of his mother, Barbara Day Cauthen of Heath Springs, who passed away Dec. 31 at age 87.
Mom was not one to go out and socialize a lot. The people she was closest to were her family and her many church friends. She loved people and was patient, giving, caring and kind to all.

Zoom Doubles Capacity of Video Conferencing Service to 50
The move gives customers greater flexibility and one more reason to look at Zoom when evaluating collaboration services, CEO Eric Yuan says.Zoom Video Communications is doubling the number of people who can participate in a video conference on the company's cloud-based or hybrid collaboration services. Users of Zoom's free and paid services can now include 50 people in a session, up from 25 previously, a move that founder and CEO Eric Yuan said was done to give customers greater flexibility and to give potential customers another reason to look at Zoom when evaluating their options in the competitive video conferencing space. "We didn't make major adjustments to our technology to double our standard meeting capacity from 25 to 50 participants," Yuan said in an email to eWEEK. "We built Zoom to be scalable to the needs of our customers, so it was like flipping a switch to add this capacity." Zoom is one of a growing number of vendors that are offering cloud- and software-based video conferencing solutions to enterprises and smaller businesses that are looking for ways to enhance collaboration between employees, partners and customers, and dealing with an increasingly mobile workforce that is demanding to be able to meet whenever and wherever they want and on any device they're using, from desktop PCs and notebooks to tablets and smartphones.
Established vendors like Cisco Systems, Polycom and Lifesize Communications are all rapidly growing out their cloud- and software-based communications portfolios, while Zoom and other smaller companies—such as Blue Jeans Network and Vidyo—are pushing to expand their presence in the market. According to IDC analysts, that market will continue to grow as businesses rate video conferencing as a priority. However, many are moving away from expensive in-room systems toward other solutions that can satisfy the demand of workers for more mobile solutions and the ability to meet in an ad hoc fashion in small groups when necessary.
