Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
If you've listened to any hip-hop radio station in any major city recently, chances are you've heard some of Frank E's music — that's how big he's getting. He was the man behind the hit records "Please Excuse My Hands," from Plies featuring Jamie Foxx and the Dream; "Me & U," from Flo Rida; and a DJ Khaled/T-Pain mixtape joint called "Superman." He also co-produced one of the most played records so far this year, "Right Round," from Flo Rida; that cut was even used to promote the new season of Dancing With the Stars. And Frank E isn't done yet. He just finished creating joints for T.I., Gym Class Heroes, Sean Kingston and some other major urban artists that he can't discuss quite yet. Be proud, Denver!
In this odd, enigmatic play by Edward Albee, Terry Burnsed played Julian, a humble priest destroyed by a Lawyer, a Cardinal, a Butler and a seductive benefactress named Alice, who may all have been acting on behalf of a corrupt and unimaginably vicious God. Burnsed's portrayal was at the heart of Tiny Alice's power and success; in fact, he acted with such integrity and passion that you wondered how he could endure repeating the role again and again through the run.
Tyee Tilghman brings dignity, subtlety and intelligent understatement to almost everything he does on a stage. This year's triumphs included a hardened street person in Curious's The Denver Project; a small but telling role in the Denver Center's Merry Wives of Windsor, where his low-key humor contrasted nicely with all the crazed hijinks going on around him; and a gravely beautiful portrayal of Orpheus in Sarah Ruhl's conceptually daring version of the Orpheus-Eurydice myth, staged — again — by Curious.
Doubt is about a priest who may or may not be molesting a young boy at his school, and the nun who, convinced of his guilt, is determined to bring him down. Jeanne Paulsen made Sister Aloysius every bit as stern and judgmental as the script required, but she also showed us there was something admirable about the woman's strength, single-mindedness and lack of sentimentality — as well as her bracing and ironic sense of humor. Every now and then, there was even a flicker of tenderness. She was, in short, riveting.
All three divas in 3 Mo' Divas sang pieces that ranged from opera to blues to disco with great authority and power. All were sensational. But Nova Y. Payton stood out. When she gave her sexy, playful, yearning rendition of Gershwin's "Summertime," you felt as if you'd never heard the song before, and she stripped "My Funny Valentine" of its corniness. Her phrasing was original and her voice a wonder. Note to Denver directors: Bring her back to us.
Two knock-it-out-of-the-park performances, and another acting display so good it almost saved a not-very-convincing play — that was Emily Paton Davies's contribution to the theater scene this year. In Crimes of the Heart, she played ditsy husband-killer Babe. Describing the killing, this girl was so sweetly and transparently reasonable that you really understood why she'd had to make herself a jug of fresh lemonade immediately afterward (she was thirsty) and then offered her husband a glass as he writhed on the carpet (it was the mannerly thing to do). In Love Song, Paton Davies showed us that she could be tough, funny, brittle and deeply tender. This actress has been on the scene for quite a while, and she gets more versatile and talented with every year that passes.

Would you like to see Britney Spears open the Grammys on Feb. 13? Bloginity.com feels pretty certain it's going to happen.
But Brit's manager, Adam Leber, took to Twitter to knock down the story, writing:
Need to clear something up. This Grammy rumor is just that, a rumor. @BritneySpears was NEVER performing.
Leber does say that details of Spears' seventh album will be released in the coming days and that fans can look forward to some "sneak peeks" from the video for the star's current single Hold It Against Me.
And on Spears' site, a shop has just "popped-up" selling Hold It Against Me T-shirts. The currently untitled album will be released on March 15.

You would think that a big nose would have bigger airways, but that was never the case for me. I've always been a mouth breather, and my nose shape never really fit my face.
I chose Dr. Portuese based on reviews I read on RealSelf and I was not disappointed! Getting my nose straightened was a huge confidence boost, and I love my profile without the hump.
My breathing improvement was not as drastic as I'd hoped (something that Dr. P warned me about), but I'm hoping it will continue to improve. I'm not a mouth breather 24/7, but I definitely am at night.
Recovery was pretty difficult for me. The cast thing feels like a binder clip on your nose even without the stuffing. I'd recommend anti-anxiety drugs over pain meds if you have the choice since pain meds don't really help.
Overall, I'm glad I did it, but I'm glad it's over!

The Green Room by Matthias-HakerWatch

i would steal that bed, chair and lamp on the wall and fix it for myself
no wonder you don't reveal the location..
its sublime..
no wonder you don't reveal the location..

i love these colors
I dont think this could look better if it was a movie set.
The juxtaposition of the red against green is awe inspiring with the green in the bed bringing the two halves together.

Were did you go to take these pictures?
someone must make a video clip here...
great pic....such color
die farben in deinen bildern sind immer der wahnsinn!!!
Great photo!
Tells us a story, doesn't it?
an eerie beauty! i like this pic!
So cool ;_;
This reminds me of my room--pink & green. o___o
i love abandoned houses so much
woo its like the videogame The last of us
this would be a concept
this would be a concept
Where do you find places like this?
I wanna hang out here.
I could see this in a game like The Last of Us.
it was once a beautiful 70s home, now a work of nature...
Very powerful
It would be a sweet, cute-looking room if it wasn't deteriorating.
more like mother nature's trap house
Reminds me of an apartment building I had the fortune to visit in cincinnatti, where the top floor was completely closed off but could be accessed through one stair well; every room was kind of like this, but I really wasn't equipped to take good photos and always wanted to go back. Seeing this shot is really awesome and satisfying because I don't think anything I could have taken would have been half as cool looking even if they were shot this nicely. That bedframe alone is a real gem and your photo really captures the place well, the distortion at the edges gives it a real eerie feel.
Very powerful. o.o
Wow, this is really cool!
I love the imagery used, and the passion the picture evoked, for me at least.
Very nice!
Very nice!
Quite impressive.
The colours in this photo are stunning, it's fantastic! But I'm sure you already know that ; )
looks like Staten Island. smh
wow, this is really pretty! I love the color scheme on this!
love the empty bedframe. the moss also stands out with the green. real cool. (:
Its like an urban elemental collage. I love it
this is extraordinary...i like to imagine what it was like before
oh,it is cool! abandoned building attracts me.
that looks like exactly where I want to be right now, actually.
I love the way you've balance it, almost looks like two different rooms fused in the middle, what with the colours and lighting.

2005-02-10 at 10:00:00 am #10164Making Environmentalism a CommodityZero Chance of Federal
Carbon Trading Under Bush, But States Take Steps
Feb.05-Environmentalists always said there would be a price to pay for
all the carbon dioxide being spewed into the atmosphere. Well, now there is.
While prized resources such as oil, gold and wheat have
been traded for decades, there is a budding market for one of the industrialized
world's abundant but unwanted byproducts: carbon dioxide, a gas produced when
fossil fuels are burned and which many scientists believe causes global
If it succeeds, the new market for carbon emissions will
reward businesses that minimize their output of this "greenhouse" gas. It will
also benefit the environment and thereby prove, advocates say, that making green
and being green are compatible goals.
"It's a sign of things to come," said Luis Martinez, an
attorney at the Natural Resources Defense Council in New York.
The only mandatory carbon emissions trading program is in
Europe. It was created in conjunction with an international treaty on climate
change – the Kyoto Protocol – that goes into effect Feb. 16 and caps the amount
of carbon dioxide that power plants and fuel-intensive manufacturers in more
than two dozen countries are allowed to emit.
A similar program is scheduled to begin in 2008 in Canada,
which also signed Kyoto.
By contrast, the United States, one of the few
industrialized countries that did not ratify Kyoto, is many years away from
compulsory trading or nationwide caps on carbon dioxide, concepts that are
strongly opposed by industry and the Bush administration.
However, nine Eastern states are developing a regional
cap-and-trade program that will require large power plants from Maine to
Delaware to reduce their carbon emissions and California is attempting to place
greenhouse gas limits on automakers. Separately, a small group of companies has
voluntarily agreed to cap their carbon emissions in the United States as part of
an experimental market that is based in Chicago.
"We believe that at some point in the United States there
will be mandatory legislation," said Bruce Braine, vice president of strategic
policy analysis at American Electric Power Co., a large power producer and one
of the founding members of the Chicago Climate Exchange, or CCX. Other members
include chemicals giant DuPont Co., computer manufacturer IBM Corp. and
electronics maker Motorola Inc.
Under the European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme, some
12,000 industrial plants will be granted a limited number of emissions
allowances, or credits, equaling the amount of carbon dioxide they are allowed
to emit. Companies that exceed their limits must purchase credits to cover the
difference, while those that produce less carbon dioxide than they are legally
permitted can sell surplus credits for a profit.
Companies can trade directly with each other or through
exchanges located throughout Europe.
By giving the private sector a financial incentive to make
their operations more environmentally friendly, proponents believe the
market-based approach will accelerate investment in emissions-reduction
equipment, create positive reinforcement from investors and spur technological
"We're confident that once people get used to managing
carbon in their businesses it will be successful," said David Hone, climate
change adviser at Royal Dutch/Shell Group, which has 46 facilities across Europe
that will be regulated under the cap-and-trade system.
Hone said his optimism is based in part on the success of
the cap-and-trade system the United States designed more than a decade ago to
reduce sulfur dioxide emissions, which cause acid rain. The U.S. sulfur dioxide
market, on which the EU's carbon market is based, is widely praised for
accelerating emissions reductions at a lower cost than originally anticipated by
But environmentalists and executives said there is much
more at stake when it comes to carbon dioxide emissions, both in terms of the
ecological benefits and the potential costs to industry.
"Carbon is the mother of all environmental commodities,"
said Richard Sandor, who helped design the U.S. exchange for sulfur dioxide and
is now the chairman of CCX.
The first phase of the EU trading program runs from 2005
through 2007 and the caps will be lowered from one year to the next. While
detailed plant-by-plant limits are still being finalized, participants estimate
that EU-wide industrial emissions will drop as much as 5 percent by 2008.
The cost to European industry over the next three years is
estimated to be a few billion dollars, based on current market prices for carbon
dioxide of about 7 euros per ton, according to Ilex Energy Consulting of Oxford,
England. Of course, companies with surplus allowances stand to profit an equal
"Frankly, a lot of companies will be hoping that the
emissions price is low so they face lower penalties from having to go out and
buy allowances," said Andrew Nind, principal consultant at Ilex.
"The main concern of environmentalists is that the
governments have been too generous in how many allowances they've given out,"
Nind said. The lower the price, the less incentive there is to invest in
equipment that reduces emissions, he said.
The second phase of the program runs from 2008 through
2012, by which time the European Union must lower its carbon emissions to 8
percent below 1990 levels. Canada must cut its emissions by 6 percent to comply
with the Kyoto treaty.
In the United States, carbon-intensive industries
successfully lobbied against Kyoto by refuting the threat of global warming
itself, and by arguing that the treaty would hurt the global competitiveness of
American companies and cause electricity prices to rise.
"There are some notable exceptions, but on the whole it
remains an ongoing battle to try to convince corporate America to deal with
greenhouse gas emissions," said Ethan Podell of Orbis Energy, which advises
companies seeking to devise long-range strategies on carbon emissions.
U.S.-based companies that are already engaged in the issue
- either because they have factories in Europe, or are part of CCX – believe
early involvement could pay off down the line, in large part due to the
logistical expertise they are gaining.
CCX participants agreed beginning in 2003 to cut their
carbon emissions by 1 percent per year through 2006, or 4 percent below their
baseline, which is determined by their average annual emissions from 1998
through 2001.
There is virtually no chance of federal limits on carbon
emissions under the Bush administration, which is openly skeptical of the threat
global warming poses. But U.S. executives anticipate a cap-and-trade program for
carbon dioxide, at least at the state level, within the next decade.
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative,Which aims to
produce a preliminary market design by April, already has the support of
Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts,New Hampshire,New Jersey,New
York, Rhode Island & Vermont

In some very sad news, porn hottie Nelson Troy has passed away. His death was confirmed 3 days ago by police, but the cause of death is still unclear. Some sources say that he was in Mexico on vacation and he was on methamphetamine when he was hit in the street by a car.
Nelson Troy had a long history with drug addiction and had pretty much left the porn biz to get help and get back on his feet again, however it seems as though his addiction might have been too strong to kick. Troy worked with some of the best in this biz that included Channel 1 Releasing, Bang Bang Boys and CockyBoys.
Troy had also revealed in 2009 that he was HIV positive and that he was going back to doing barebacking scenes. Another sad end to such a young life with so much potential. He will be remembered and our thoughts go out to his friends, family and, of course, his fans.

The Festive season always inspires us to try something new and different and we all love an opportunity to shake things up and re-invent ourselves. So ask yourself, What DO you REALLY want for Christmas? Our range of must have skin treatments and products this winter can give you that extra certain, "je ne sais quoi" during the winter months.
Don't just put our non-surgical treatments on your wish list; add a little sparkle and glitz. With Christmas celebrations and events well under way, take the smart approach and make sure you look and feel fabulous this winter.
Skin peels
Range: Epionce Lite Refresh, Epionce Corrective, Obagi blue Radiance & Phenol Peel
Suitable for all skin types
Starting price: £60 for single treatment
Course of treatment: starting price of £300
Chemical peeling is a principally respected practice that improves many skin problems by encouraging healthier skin. Peels help to repair, restore and re-condition all skin types.
Peels have an array of diverse variations dependant on the individual's skin specification and condition. The overall result is typically reliant on the kind of peel used. For example; it's potency/strength, how deep they permeate/penetrate into the skin, the length of time the peel is left on for and the time to recover post treatment.
A consultation/assessment is the best way to learn which peel best suits the individual's needs. To choose correctly, a consultant/practitioner will recommend and devise a skin programme that includes the most appropriate peel and range of skin care products to maximise the overall success of the treatment.
Suitable for all skin types
Starting price: £55 for single treatment
Course of treatment: starting price of £275
Microdermabrasion is a treatment that acts to restore the skin's tone and texture and appeals to those who want to be rid of brown spots, mild acne scars, sun-damaged skin and fine lines/wrinkles.
Once dead and damaged skin cells have been removed, the skin immediately feels and looks smoother, fresher and healthier. Expect an immediate result from this procedure.
A course of microdermabrasion treatments vary and treatment can be performed between once a week to every fortnight, monthly and/or every 6 weeks. Your practitioner will direct you in terms of how many you may need.
Intense Pulse Light (IPL) / Photo rejuvenation
Suitable for most skin types
Starting price: £875 for a course of 3
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) laser treatment uses a specifically designed thermal energy to target deep into the skins layers. This procedure is most frequently used to fade and do away with scars, blemishes, sun spots, thread veins and age spots to name a few.
Other benefits to the skin's appearance includes reducing fine lines and wrinkles as well as stimulating and boosting our natural production of collagen. Treatment time is variable and is dependent on the area being treated.
A treatment plan will be devised by your practitioner and can often consist of 3-6 sessions. You can see a visible improvement with each treatment.
Restylane - Vital (Skin booster)

Subway, one of the world's largest fast-food chains is now facing social media backlash and that too over an inch! The fast food chain with 37,000 outlets has managed to become the focus of criticism over sandwich size after Australian Matt Corby posted a photo on Subway's Facebook page, according to reports.
The photo which is currently trending shows company's famous foot-long sandwich next to a tape measure that most evidently reveals that the sub is one inch short i.e. it's just 11 inches!
The photo captioned 'subway pls respond' is shared multiple times and is liked by millions of people while similar pictures eventually started to appear on Facebook too.
New York Post conducted an investigation that found four out of seven foot-long sandwiches were short of the 12 inches that make a foot. The photo which had 19.8 million fans is reported to be removed. A spokesman for Subway, which is based in Milford, Conn., said Subwaydid not remove the posting.
"We are reinforcing our policies and procedures in an effort to ensure our offerings are always consistent no matter which Subway restaurant you visit," Subway said in an emailed statement
Previously, it wasn't really possible for someone sitting far away in Australia to trigger such a situation but the backlash over the photo defines the power of social media.
Check out how people responded towards the photo in the comments below:
Here is a conspiracy theory. Subway has been using performance enhancing subs! Jared wasn't eating no 12 inch long sub. He was chowing down on 11 inch subs. Subway new this the whole time and condoned the action! I'm on to you Subway! Help make this picture viral so the whole world can learn about Subways dirty tricks!
Matthew Tramuto Those basterds no wonder why i was always hungry 30 minutes later
Steven Segarra I want my money back!
Chris Spencer Apparently in subway world a foot is 11inches!!!
Adam Ebel That's terrible, there is 1 inch missing from that sandwich!
Subway says that the picture of the footlong that didn't quite measure twelve inches wasn't taken down by them.
So, I guess they won't mind if I re-post it?
wow Just saw the picture of the "footlong" sandwhich which isnt actually a foot long... imagine how much money they will save over the millions of sandwhiches they sell. you should at least tell the truth and call it what it is.
Chris Jeffery Time for subway to go back to school
Wazir Nurani Paul - The New York Post conducted a quick study. They tested seven subs, and four of the seven came up short. If you're so convinced that Subway is doing right by you, then - by all means - keep your head in the sand and let them rip you off. Or you could do a simple measurement the next coupla times you go to make sure. It's your money.
Chris Warwick I just hope this photo lasts long enough to be copied and spread all around the internet.
Josh Harrison If there are 37,881 Subway restaurants, that serve an average for 42 foot longs an hour.. That's 1,591,002 footlongs per hour or 38,184,048 per day. If 10% of those are 1 inch short, that's 3,818,404.8 inches of missing sandwiches. That's enough to make 318,200 extra subs per day or 116,143,146 per year. There are 1,032,532,974 people in Africa, over 20% of them suffer from starvation, or over 200,000,000. That missing inch could effectively feed over half of all starving Africans a sub. Think of the Africans.
It seems that no matter how famous you are and whatever you fan following is, don't mess with your loyal customers, especially when they have a tool like social media to challenge your company and its reputation!

Rural Regulatory Policy
Regulatory Policy and Rulemaking
AHA's litigation challenging the payment reduction continues. A federal judge has ruled in favor of AHA's law suit, finding that CMS failed to meet the legal requirements for rulemaking when implementing this payment cut. CMS recently announced it has dropped the cut as a response to judicial pressure.
CMS Certification of Necessary Providers
On March 25 in Transmittal 153, CMS updated the state operations manual (SOM) with a new recertification guidance and checklist for distance and location of necessary provider CAHs. The AHA is pleased that this new guidance acts on the concerns we have expressed to the agency and provides additional flexibility to state survey agencies, which is critical to helping CAHs that rightfully obtained necessary provider status prior to 2006 from losing their CAH designation. See the Special Bulletin.
Exclusive Use and Co-location of Visiting Specialists
CMS has increased the requirements for communication and separation of resident physicians from visiting specialists to include signage, entrances, partitions, and waiting areas. This issue does not just involve the conditions of participation, compliance and payment provisions; it involves the Stark and anti-kick-back laws and other rules. Given the complexity of this issue, CMS is likely to take several months to work through it before providing hospitals with any further information. See the Regulatory Update.
Star Ratings
CMS delayed its scheduled April 21 release at least until July to make public an overall hospital quality "star rating" on Hospital Compare. The AHA and others have repeatedly raised significant concerns about the accuracy and validity of CMS's star rating approach and 60 Senators and 225 Representatives sent a "Dear Colleague" letter asking CMS to better account for how hospitals treat diverse patients and to share its methodology in developing the star ratings. See the Special Bulletin.
340B Drug Discount Pricing Program
The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission Jan. 14 voted to reduce Part B drug payment rates for hospitals participating in the 340B Drug Pricing Program by 10% of the average sales price and redistribute those savings to hospitals providing uncompensated care services. AHA continues to urge Congress and MedPAC to oppose cuts to the 340B program and work with HRSA to protect patient access as it revises the rules for this program. See the AHA Blog for more information.
CJR Bundled Payments of Care
On July 9, 2015 CMS proposed the CJR bundled payment of care model. Acute care hospitals in 67 selected geographic areas will take on quality and payment accountability for retrospectively calculated bundled payments for a new payment model that would bundle payment to acute care hospitals for hip and knee replacement surgery. Under this program, the hospital in which the joint replacement takes place would be held financially accountable for quality and costs for the entire episode of care, from the date of surgery through 90 days post-discharge. CAHs will have to be best-value providers if they wish to participate. See the Special Bulletin.
EHR Incentive Program
CMS proposes to offer flexibility in the Medicare Electronic Health Record (EHR) Program. Specifically, CMS proposes to shorten the EHR reporting period for 2016 from a full year to 90 days for all eligible hospitals (EHs), critical access hospitals (CAHs) and eligible physicians (EPs). In connection with this proposal, CMS also proposes a 90-day reporting period for electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) in 2016 for all EHs, CAHs and EPs. CMS proposes to revise the meaningful use objectives and measures for EHs and CAHs by removing the Clinical Decision Support (CDS) and Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) objectives and measures for Modified Stage 2 and Stage 3 for 2017 and subsequent years. CMS also proposes to modify the Modified Stage 2 threshold of the View, Download, Transmit (VDT) measure under the Patient Electronic Access objective. Specifically, CMS proposes to reduce the threshold from 5 percent to at least one patient. Finally, CMS proposes to reduce several measure thresholds for select Stage 3 objectives: Patient Access to Health Information, Coordination of Care through Patient Engagement, and Health Information Exchange objectives. For the Stage 3 Public Health and Clinical Data Registry Reporting objective, CMS proposes to reduce the threshold to report to three registries, from the final Stage 3 requirement to report to four registries. Unfortunately, it retains Stage 3 application program interfaces and other unrealistic requirements for patient engagement and coordination of care. This issue is covered in depth in the OPPS/ASC Special Bulletin.
Computed Radiography Standards
The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 contained provisions that will cut payments to providers enrolled in the Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) or Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) for diagnostic radiology performed on equipment that is not fully digital. Beginning in 2018, claims for x-rays performed using CR technology will be reduced by 7%. The cuts will increase to 10% beginning in 2023. 20% cuts for analog begin 2017. Medicare Claims Processing Manual Chapter 13. These provisions apply to only OPPS and MPFS not CAHs.
Computed Tomography Diagnostic Imaging Services
The Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA) of 2014 required providers that offer CT scanning services to comply with the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) XR-29 standard attributes on CT equipment related to dose optimization and management. Effective January 1, 2016, a payment reduction of 5 percent applies to the technical component of CT procedures billed in hospital outpatient settings. The payment reduction increases to 15 percent in 2017. These provisions apply to only OPPS and MPFS not CAHs.
Rural Health Clinic Qualified Visits
A RHC claim must include one of the services listed on the RHC Qualifying Visit List, which was recently updated with additional medically-necessary billable visits, effective April 1. The newly added codes are not payable through the claim system if reported as the only billable qualifying visit code on the claim until October 1, when the Medicare claims system will be updated to accept the new codes. As such, RHCs would need to hold any such claims with April 1date of service forward until Fiscal Intermediary Standard System Guide is updated in the fall. However, if a new code is billed together on the same claim with another stand-alone billable qualifying visit code, the RHC claim may be submitted for services on or after April 1.
Site Neutral Payments
Section 603 of the Bipartisan Budget Act includes payment reductions for Medicare services that are furnished in new off-campus hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs). A "new" off-campus HOPD is defined as an off-campus department that started billing for Medicare outpatient services under the outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS) on or after Nov. 2, 2015. The AHA supports allowing off-campus provider-based HOPDs already under development when the BBA was signed into law to qualify as grandfathered facilities. This technical correction also clarifies that changes in ownership of a facility do not impact the grandfathered status of a PB HOPD and that grandfathered HOPDs may relocate when they meet criteria determined by the Secretary of HHS. This matter is covered in depth in the OPPS/ASC Special Bulletin.
Telehealth is the provision of health care services via telecommunications technologies, such as live video interactions and asynchronous medical data transfers, like "store-and-forward technologies." Remote patient monitoring refers to personal medical data transmitted securely from an individual in one location via electronic communications technologies to a provider in a different location for the purposes of medical care. AHA will urge Congress to expand Medicare coverage and payment for telehealth and provide resources for additional study of the cost-benefit of telehealth. AHA also will work with the administration to include telehealth waivers in all new care models and adopt a more flexible approach to adding new telehealth services to Medicare. AHA will continue to work with the allied associations to address state-level issues, including licensure and reimbursement for telehealth services. Visit the AHA Telehealth web page for additional resources.
CMS Releases Inpatient PPS Proposed Rule. CMS April 18 issued its hospital inpatient prospective payment system (PPS) and long-term care hospital (LTCH) PPS proposed rule for fiscal year (FY) 2017. See the Special Bulletin.
The proposed rule would increase inpatient PPS rates by 0.85 percent in FY 2017, after accounting for inflation and other adjustments required by law. Specifically, the update includes a proposed market-basket increase to the standardized amount of 2.8 percent. CMS proposes a 0.5 percentage point reduction to this update for productivity, as well as an additional 0.75 percentage point reduction, as mandated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
In addition, CMS proposes a 0.8 percent positive adjustment related to two-midnight policy. This proposed change represents an important, hard-fought victory for hospitals and health systems in reversing the unlawful 0.2 percent payment reduction for inpatient services. The AHA successfully challenged CMS's implementation of this cut in federal court and convinced CMS to restore the resources that hospitals are lawfully due.
CMS also proposes a cut of 1.5 percentage points in response to the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA). Although a cut to hospital payments was mandated by ATRA, CMS's proposal is significantly larger than Congress indicated and the hospital field anticipated. The AHA will urge CMS to reduce the amount of this cut in the inpatient PPS final rule for FY 2017.
Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment (OPPS) and Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) Payment Systems and Quality Reporting Programs. On July 6, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed updated payment rates and policy changes in the OPPS and ASC Payment System. In this proposed rule, CMS is proposing changes to the objectives and measures of meaningful use for Modified Stage 2 and Stage 3 starting with the EHR reporting periods in calendar year 2017. Under both Modified Stage 2 in 2017 and Stage 3 in 2017 and 2018, for eligible hospitals and CAHs attesting under the Medicare EHR Incentive Program, CMS is proposing to eliminate the Clinical Decision Support (CDS) and Computerized Provider Order Entry (CPOE) objectives and measures, and lower the reporting thresholds for a subset of the remaining objectives and measures, generally to the Modified Stage 2 thresholds. In addition, CMS is proposing a one-time significant hardship exception from the 2018. See the Special Bulletin.
Physician Fee Schedule Proposed Rule. On July 6th, CMS released the 2017 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) proposed rule. This is one of the major annual rules CMS uses to announce proposed changes to the Medicare program. Most notably for Rural Health Clinics (RHCs), this year's PFS makes numerous changes to the RHC Chronic Care Management (CCM) requirements, including changing the supervision requirement that should make it easier to implement CCM services.
Medicare Conditions of Participation (CoP). CMS on June 16 issued a proposed rule to update select CoPs that hospitals and CAHs must meet to participate in Medicare and Medicaid. CMS believes the changes are necessary to align the Medicare requirements with current practice standards, improve quality and reduce barriers to care. See the AHA Regulatory Advisory. Among the proposed changes, CMS would:
- Require hospitals and CAHs to implement antibiotic stewardship programs that adhere to nationally recognized guidelines and best practices;
- Augment infection prevention and control regulations for both hospitals and CAHs;
- Update quality assessment and performance improvement (QAPI) requirements, including the establishment of robust, ongoing, data-driven QAPI programs for CAHs;
- Make several changes related to the content of hospital medical records;
- Allow qualified dieticians/nutrition professionals in CAHs to order patient diets, as authorized by the medical staff and state law; and
- Require hospitals and CAHs to implement written policies to prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including gender identity), sexual orientation, age or disability, and to inform patients of their right to be free from discrimination.
Life-Safety Code Update. On May 4, 2016, CMS issued a final rule adopting the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) 2012 Life Safety Code (LSC) with minor amendments and most chapters of its 2012 Health Care Facilities Code (HCFC) for hospitals, CAH and certain other facilities that participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The final rule takes effect July 5. The LSC includes general requirements for all new and existing buildings. The HCFC contains more detailed provisions for health care building systems and equipment. The AHA's American Society for Healthcare Engineering affiliate provided input to NFPA as it developed the revisions and encourages its members to comment on the draft 2018 editions of the codes available at www.nfpa.org/101next and www.nfpa.org/99next. AHA will continue to urge the agency to keep the fire-safety standards more current going forward, as there is already a 2015 edition of the LSC.
Regional Budget Payment Concept. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is seeking input on a Regional Budget Payment Concept that promotes accountability for the health of the population in a geographically defined community. It builds on the experience of a new hospital global budget payment program in Maryland in which all payers in aggregate pay hospitals a fixed annual amount for inpatient and outpatient services, adjusted for quality and irrespective of hospital utilization. CMS is seeking input on the feasibility of similar approaches for other geographical areas, which could include areas smaller than a state. In this concept, providers could receive a prospective budget for the care of the population of a community, and would be accountable for the total cost of care across the entire continuum of care and health outcomes for the entire population.
Medicaid, CHIP managed care plans final rule. CMS issued its long awaited final rule on Medicaid managed care that would provide new standards for managed care provider networks, quality measures, external quality review, and beneficiary rights and protections. In addition, the final rule imposes new requirements for medical loss ratios for managed care plans, implements best practices identified in existing managed long-term care services and support programs, and requires states to develop a Medicaid managed care quality rating system for health plans. The final rule also permits states flexibility to allow managed care enrollees aged 21 to 64 to access psychiatric services in inpatient psychiatric hospitals. Under the rule, states will be required to set standards to ensure patients have adequate access to doctors and other providers, and will require insurers to frequently update their provider directories.
Implementing MACRA Physician Payment Proposed Rule*
- MACRA of 2015 repeals the flawed Medicare physician SGR formula and calls for CMS to implement a new two-track payment system for physicians and other eligible professionals that will take effect in 2019:
- The default track is the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), which consolidates previously separate physician quality programs into a single program, with up to 9 percent of payment at risk for performance; and
- The Alternative Payment Model (APM) track, which will award bonuses (from 2019 – 2014) to physicians who receive a sufficient amount of payment from APMs like ACOs or medical homes.
- Other key issues for your consideration:
- For the first two years of MIPS, Eligible Professionals (EPs) would include physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists and certified registered nurse anesthetists. Other professionals may be added in later.
- EPs below the low-volume threshold would be excluded from MIPS. The proposal defines the threshold as having Medicare billing charges less than or equal to $10,000 and providing care for 100 or fewer Part B-enrolled Medicare beneficiaries.
- The MIPS adjustment would apply to EPs who have assigned their billing rights to a Critical Access Hospital (i.e. Method II CAH billing).
- Currently, Rural Health Clinics and Federally Qualified Health CRHCs and FQHCs are excluded from reporting to MIPS since they are paid differently under Medicare. CMS is asking for comment on whether these safety net providers should but have the option to voluntarily report on applicable measures and activities with no penalty in order to remain in alignment with broader efforts under Delivery System Reform.
- Only certain APMs are considered as qualifying for receipt of incentive payments and exclusion from MIPS payment adjustments. See the AHA Regulatory Advisory.
Reducing Rx Drug Prices
The high cost of prescription drugs is putting a strain on Medicare, Medicaid and the entire health care system, including patients. The AHA has been working with a number of stakeholders including the Campaign for Sustainable Rx Pricing, to raise awareness of and develop policy solutions to combat the problems caused by drug price increases. Members provided their insights on several policy options proposed to help rationalize drug prices while still supporting innovation
Medicare Part B Rx Drug Payment Model
Medicare currently pays physicians and HOPDs for Part B drugs at the rate of the average sales price (ASP) plus 6 percent. This ASP-based payment for drugs is in addition to a separate payment made in physician offices and HOPDs for administering the drug. In Phase I, CMS would continue to pay half of hospitals and physicians as they are today. For the others, they would change the add-on payment from 6 percent to 2.5 percent plus a flat fee payment of $16.80 per drug per day. On average for hospitals the cut is 0.3%, with slightly higher (0.5%) for teaching hospitals and slightly lower for rural hospitals. Under Phase 2, half of each Phase 1 group would be required to use VBP tools similar to those employed by commercial health plans and other entities that manage health benefits and drug utilization. See the Special Bulletin.
Quality Measurement
While the field is committed to quality improvement and transparency, complying with data requests is burdensome for providers. Consumers can be confused by the volume of information. Data collection and reporting activities would be more valuable if federal agencies and others asking for data agreed on a manageable list of high-priority aspects of care on which providers would be asked to make meaningful improvement, and then to use a small and critically important set of measures to track and report on progress toward improving the care delivered as well as the outcomes for patients. AHA is working with the administration to prioritize and simplify quality reporting and improve the transition to required reporting of electronic measures. The Institute of Medicine (now National Academy of Medicine) has proposed a list of high-priority topics from which this work would begin.

Junk moving in Shiloh
Junk and Shiloh. A dance company rehearsing in a baptist church. Bodies gathering to fly. To twist. To soar. The metal piping of the truss. Creating adventures for climbing. For swinging and daring. The metal piping of the organs. Marking the songs and the prayers that still exist in the space. A communing of the art and the sacred. High ceilings. Offering dancers new heights to climb. Stained glass windows. Lighting the twirling and the challenge. There are pews and Beyoncé. Pointed feet and reflections of gospels and hymns. Seems odd and magical. Strange and fitting. Upside down and right side up. Where else would a body go. To test limits. The limits of muscles. Of the edge. Of the heart and the spirit. Where else would a body go. To test the boundaries of fear and the possibility of courage. The art and the sacred. Junk moving in Shiloh.

In class. She doesn't say much. She moves with us. Mouthing counts. Lip syncing the words to songs. In class each late comer is greeted with a smile and a wave. She sees everyone. She doesn't miss a beat or a step. She points and gestures. Helping us. Guiding us. Encouraging us. Reminding us to smile. To breath. To enjoy. To be present. She shares her ease. Her delight. And her power. Inspiring us to push and sweat a little more.

Keke Palmer is an actress, TV host, singer-songwriter, Broadway star and now, a makeup master. Proving that there's very little she's not good at, the gorgeous star released two tutorial videos for her fans, showing them step-by-step how they can step up their makeup game. One video features Keke teaching us how to serve a killer smokey eye, and the other is a guide to her "everyday" look — which requires an incredible 23 products. Overachiever, much?
Keek's smokey eye philosophy is a little more relaxed than her everyday routine, ironically. "It's okay if it's a little messy, don't be like super-duper crazy critical," she explains. "Just chill out, vibe out."
The everyday look, however, is a very different story. It takes nearly two dozen products to make Keeks look like she "woke up like this," beginning with simple face wash and working her way through products from MAC, Givenchy and Buxom.
Hey, nobody said it was easy to #slay. Keke joins Kim Kardashian and Karrueche Tran, among other stars who moonlight as beauty gurus through YouTube and their personal websites.
Catch up on how Keke Palmer is making her own rules with BET Breaks, below:

Since I'm not putting full Riffs on this site anymore, I'm just going to have previews of them here. Here's a taste of what you're getting from the Riff:
For my first Riff on this lovely new site, I thought I'd Riff something new, different, and awesome. But then I thought, "Fuck it, I'll Riff some garbage from the Creepylasta Land Wiki." And, like most stuff from there, this is incredibly stupid. But don't take my word for it. Let's order some pizza and Riff this bitch!
There was one night about a teenage girl ordering pizza hut because you can have pizza for one hour.
There was one day where that made sense. That day: Decembuary 33, -5209.
Once the pizza delivery come, he said " can i be in your house for a little.
The girl said "yes" then the delivery person went to the bathroom. A few mins later, she open and saw him dead. after she eat the pizza in the box,
(Girl): Hm, there's a corpse, but hey, pizza!

Hi. I'm Nick. I make music happen.
I have experience recording, editing, mixing, and mastering.
I like to beatbox, sing, rap, and generally emit random vocal noises.
My focus has always been on the qualities that make a piece of music so charming that you want to hear it over again. When I began creating and recording my own music, I quickly realized that the balance and flow of the various musical elements is critically important.
After 10+ years of experimenting with music production, I've achieved formidable sound quality despite my limited resources. Through recording myself and countless other musicians, my attention to sonic details has lead me into the world of sound engineering, where mixing and mastering have become my specialty.
I've mixed tracks for several aspiring hip-hop artists, as well as a few electro/dubstep style producers. Based upon their feedback, I have a knack for making things sound professional.
Mixing Services:
* Basic Hip-Hop (1 pre-mixed beat, 1 lead vocal + dubs) - $30/track
* Advanced (beat mixing, extensive vocal editing, effects, etc) - $50/track
* Final Mastering - add $10/track
General Mastering Service: $30/track
100% money-back guarantee.
I am open to custom projects, and will give quotes on a case-by-case basis.
We are the Work in Progress. #ENDofSTOP
Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.
My credits include
Gear highlights
- Focusrite Scarlett 18i8
- Yamaha PSR-225GM keyboard

Terms of Service
I guarantee three (3) revisions, and will usually honor one or two more if necessary for final tweaks.
Total turn-around time ranges from a few days to a week. Same-day responses are common.

Inward Billing
SIS-compliant FinesseMBS prevents non-transport revenue leakage
Inward billing is a largely manual process. A number of airline billing divisions capture invoices from other airlines and third-party service providers manually. The divisions work in a decentralised manner, use legacy systems, and follow different accounting practices. The lack of automation leads to incorrect data entry, resulting in revenue leakages and higher rejections. This makes inward billing process challenging and expensive.
FinesseMBS provides a powerful and configurable interface that streamlines the inward billing process cost-effectively. The system automatically loads invoices, and resolves expense codes according to the configurations set by accounting. The invoices are then seamlessly routed to appropriate departments or people for approval, partial rejection or rejection. Rejected invoices are automatically sent to SIS in the current settlement cycle.
FinesseMBS also provides the capability to track correspondence cases and raise invoices once the correspondence is completed on the IS WEB. All invoices are automatically posted to the ERP to avoid duplicate invoice entry.
FinesseMBS is available on pay-per-use, providing the benefit of low cost to the airline. For more details on pricing, contact us.

Kimberly Clark Co-op/Intern Program
Nobody knows noses and bottoms better than Kimberly-Clark. One of the world's largest makers of personal paper products, the company operates through three business segments: personal care, consumer tissue, and K-C Professional. Kimberly-Clark's largest unit, personal care, makes products such as diapers (Huggies, Pull-Ups), feminine care items (Kotex), and incontinence care products (Poise, Depend). Through its consumer tissue segment, the manufacturer offers facial and bathroom tissues, paper towels, and other household items under the names Cottonelle, Kleenex, Viva, and Scott (plus the Scott Naturals line). Kimberly-Clark's professional unit makes WypAll commercial wipes, among other items.
Amid a slow global economy that has put pressure on cash-strapped consumers and inflated the cost of fuel, pulp, and paper, Kimberly-Clark has managed to hold on to the #1 or #2 position in 80 countries. Personal Care accounted for about 50% of total sales in 2015; Consumer Tissue, 33%; and K-C Professional, 17%.
Geographic Reach
Kimberly-Clark maintains a broad global presence as part of its growth strategy. It boasts 94 manufacturing facilities in about 40 countries across the US, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Products reach about 175 countries.
Developing regions, Asia, Latin America, and others generated 38% of the company's 2015 revenues, largely due to expansions and acquisitions, such as the remaining 31% of its Bogota, Colombia-based subsidiary Colombiana Kimberly Colpapel (CKC). The deal secured the company's foothold in the developing markets of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Kimberly-Clark also holds Kimberly-Clark Kenko Industria e Comercio Ltda, based in Brazil.
North America accounted for 50% of total net sales in 2015. Europe accounted for the balance.
Sales and Marketing
Kimberly-Clark sells its household items directly to supermarkets, mass merchandisers, drugstores, warehouse clubs, variety and department stores, and other retail outlets, as well as through distributors and e-commerce. For the away-from-home market it serves, the company sells through distributors and directly to high-volume public facilities and to manufacturing, lodging, office building, food service, and health care establishments.
To gain recognition for its brands, the company has averaged about $780 million in advertising expenses each year. In 2015, Kimberly-Clark logged $710 million in ad spending. As business and economic conditions improve, the consumer paper company will spend more aggressively on adverting and promoting its products.
Its largest customer, über worldwide retailer Wal-Mart, represented about 14% of sales in 2015, and 13% in 2014 and 2013.
Financial Performance
Kimberly-Clark's revenues decreased by $1.1 billion in 2015 due to decreased sales from consumer tissue and personal care segments as the result of unfavorable currency rates.
Net income decreased by $513 million due to lower sales and increased other expenses partially offset by decreased provision for income taxes.
In 2015 net cash provided by the operating activities decreased by $539 million compared to 2014.
Kimberly-Clark's strategy includes building upon its well-branded position in the personal care and consumer tissue space. Notable introductions are Huggies Little Movers Slip-On Diapers, Poise Hourglass Shape Pads, and Kleenex Cool Touch Facial Tissue, among several others. The company has simultaneously moved into making higher-margin disposable medical products. It produces sterilization wrap, face masks, surgical drapes and gowns, and closed-suction respiratory products.
The company's business strategy includes targeted growth in Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with a particular emphasis in China, Eastern Europe and Latin America. In 2016 the company planned to continue to execute its Global Business Plan strategies, which include a focus on targeted growth initiatives, innovation and brand building, cost savings programs and shareholder-friendly capital allocation.
In 2016 Kimberly-Clark Professional added DAC International, a Greenwich AeroGroup Company, to its global aviation distributor network. DAC International joins an extensive list of established distribution partners for Kimberly-Clark Professional's critical task wiping products and personal protection solutions for the aviation industry.
In 2015 Kleenex Brand entered the facial cleansing category with an exclusive new line of facial cleansing products for women, which feature innovative fabric-based technologies.
Its health care unit has logged increasingly higher year-over-year sales volumes, helped by acquisitions. Among them, Kimberly-Clark took over Baylis Medical's pain management business, which focuses on chronic spinal pain, and I-Flow, a developer and marketer of drug-delivery systems for post-surgical pain relief and surgical site care. To get better shareholder returns, in 2014 Kimberly-Clark spun off its health care business into a standalone company known as Halyard Health.
In 2014 Kimberly-Clark spent $370 million on research and development directed toward new or improved personal care, tissue, wiping, safety and health care products and nonwoven materials.
