Some People Tell Lies. Others Live Them.
Parole officer Jack Mabry (Robert De Niro) has only a few weeks left before retirement and wishes to finish out the cases he's been assigned. One such case is that of Gerald "Stone" Creeson (Edward Norton), a convicted arsonist who is up for parole. Jack is initially reluctant to indulge Stone in the coarse banter he wishes to pursue and feels little sympathy for the prisoner's pleads for an early release. Seeing little hope in convincing Jack himself, Stone arranges for his wife Lucetta (Milla Jovovich) to seduce the officer, but motives and intentions steadily blur amidst the passions and buried secrets of the corrupted players in this deadly game of deception.

Ford Motor Company reported a pre-tax operating loss of $424 million in the second quarter of 2009, excluding special items. The second quarter results represents a $609 million improvement compared with the second quarter of 2008, as cost reductions, net pricing, Ford Credit results, and market share helped offset the continued impact of the severe global economic downturn. On an after-tax basis, excluding special items, Ford posted an operating loss of $638 million in the second quarter, or $0.21 per share, compared with a loss of $1.4 billion, or $0.63 per share, a year ago.
Ford posted net income of $2.3 billion, or $0.69 per share. These results compare with a net loss of $8.7 billion, or $3.89 per share, in the second quarter of 2008. The results for the second quarter 2009 include a special items net gain totaling $2.8 billion, or $0.90 per share, which includes a $3.4 billion gain related to Ford and Ford Credit's recent debt-reduction actions. Ford's second quarter revenue was $27.2 billion, down $11 billion from the same period a year ago. Ford completed several actions to strengthen its overall business, including:
Ford reached agreement with the UAW, subject to court and other approvals, to allow Ford the option to fund up to half of its VEBA obligations with Ford common stock at market prices instead of fixed prices in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Ford finished the second quarter with $21 billion in Automotive gross cash, compared with $21.3 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2009. Automotive operating-related cash flow was $1 billion negative during the second quarter of 2009, an improvement of $2.7 billion from the first quarter of 2009. Automotive operating-related cash flow was $4.7 billion negative during the first half; on track with Ford's plan.by Staff Writer

The Saatchi Gallery is a London gallery for contemporary art, opened by Charles Saatchi in 1985 in order to exhibit his collection to the public. It has occupied different premises, first in North London, then the South Bank by the River Thames, and finally in Chelsea, its current location. Saatchi's collection, and hence the gallery's shows, has had distinct phases, starting with U.S. artists and minimalism, moving to the Damien Hirst-led Young British Artists, followed by shows purely of painting and then returning to contemporary art from America in USA Today at the Royal Academy in London. In 2008, an exhibition of contemporary Chinese art formed the inaugural exhibition in the new venue for the gallery at the Duke of York's HQ.
The National Army Museum is nearby.

In June 2004, I left the USA for Zambia and headed to Meheba Refugee Settlement, a shelter for people displaced by war that is run by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. I had never been to that region of Africa, or to a refugee camp, before.I was headed there alongside eight college students who had decided to spend the summer in Zambia volunteering and implementing programs for the refugee community. My project was to create a documentary film about the lives these refugees were living, now entitled: Zambian Forge – Refugees of Meheba.
I didn't really know what I was getting myself into. Details of where I was going were minimal. I only knew that Meheba was extremely rural, large, and isolated, and I was going to be living right in the middle of it for two months. Other images I had seen of refugee camps showed people cramped together, living in tents, pleading for food rations. I knew Meheba was founded in 1971, however, so I couldn't imagine people had been living that way for 33 years. Yet, I really didn't know. I was advised to keep a low profile.
During pre-production, I had to prepare for every possibility I could think of. I knew my gear needed to be portable, both to transport to Zambia, and to get around Meheba without my own vehicle once I was there. As a one-man crew on a low-budget shoot, I had to feel confident that I could personally transport and operate both the cameras and the sound equipment. I anticipated the only electricity would be via intermittent generators running unsteady voltages and utilizing British plugs, so I needed gear with low power draws and long battery lives. I also needed to make sure everything was backed up – there would be no replacing or repairing anything in the field unless I could do it myself. South Africa was the closest call for help, and my production was NTSC, not PAL.
I chose to bring Panasonic DVX100A video cameras with a variety of microphones, a Nikon D70 DSLR, and a G4 PowerBook running Final Cut Pro. I would have preferred to bring HD gear, but at the time, there was nothing available that fit my requirements. Actually, even the "A" model of the DVX was pretty new. The first one I saw was at NAB in 2004, just over a month before I had to leave for Zambia. I bought two, one from Abel Cine Tech.
I like the design of the DVX, and its ability to shoot 24P video that seamlessly integrates into Final Cut. The menus have extensive options to adjust the image for a camera of its class, and the "Cine Gamma" modes are nice additions to the color palette vs. a more standard video look. Once the camera is prepped to shoot though, it isn't necessary to go back into the electronic menus – all the controls are 1 step away on the camera body, as they should be. The manual controls are good, which is important for me as I like to shoot in full manual as much as possible, setting my own focus, exposure, shutter speed, color temperature, ND, etc. I've never experienced the DVX overriding a manual setting either, which I have had happen occasionally on competing cameras. The Iris and Focus settings are well placed and easy to operate, and overall the camera is well balanced. It also handles audio well, a crucial ability for a documentary.
Arriving in Meheba, I found a unique shooting environment. Physically, it is incredibly beautiful. The dusty earth is a rich reddish-brown hue. We were there in the dry season, when this dust kicks up and covers everything, giving the environment a lovely warmth. Combined with the African sun in the late afternoon, headed off to a slow sunset over the Savannah, Meheba is visually spectacular.
I wasn't in Meheba to film sunsets, however, though I did use the magic hour to light multiple interviews. The first thing I discovered about the people there was that, for the most part, they were very willing to have their pictures taken. Many of the people I encountered had never actually seen a video camera before (or a white man operating one!), though they had encountered TVs and immediately recognized what it was for. They kept calling my DVX the "big American camera," so I was pretty glad I wasn't running around with a VariCam, which would have been impossible anyway. A lot of days, I threw a DVX into a shoulder bag and went out exploring for the whole day, shooting b-roll and interviews as opportunities presented themselves. When I was in a vehicle, often it was in the bed of an old Land Rover pick-up, sitting on the hard case for the DVX and bouncing down roads that might better be described as trails, through the 800 square kilometers of a settlement once home to over 70,000 refugees, mostly from Angola.
Meheba was totally different from my expectations. Being such an old settlement, it was quite established, despite being so rustic. I realized being there that journalists tend to cover emergency zones, especially in Africa, propagating the oft-seen image of starving babies covered with flies. Meheba wasn't like that. The government of Zambia had worked together with the UN and its partner NGOs, and it had met the basic needs of the people. People were not starving; they were farming. They were also going to school, to church, getting married, having kids, and living out their lives as they waited for a solution to the problems in their homes.
After being there a few weeks, I had pinpointed some of the main characters for the doc, people with personality and presence who spoke English well, and understood that by telling their stories for the camera, they could potentially make people in America understand some of the problems refugees face. When the end of my time in Meheba came in August 2004, I had about 80 hours of video and thousands of still photos. I returned to San Francisco, and spent the fall digitizing, organizing, and conceptualizing. In the spring of 2005, I began working with an editor named odell, and we fashioned the first rough cut of the film. It was at this point I decided to return. I wanted to do follow-ups and pick-ups. I also wanted to do something I had been afraid to do the first time around, bring my Aaton A-Minima with me.
After having spent two months in Meheba the year before, I knew the place a bit. I had also gotten to know Zambia a bit as well. So though I understood bringing a full Super16 production into a country that doesn't even have a film lab – by myself – wasn't going to be easy, I was comfortable enough to do it, and I did. I also felt that the visual environment of Meheba, its wonderful earth tones, would play well to shooting film.
I returned to Meheba in June 2005, this time with one DVX100A and the A-Minima. I had 24 200' rolls of film, 12 each of Kodak 7245 and 7205. My A-Minima has a PL mount, and for lenses I brought a Canon 8/64 zoom, a Zeiss 9.5mm MK1 Superspeed, and a Century Optics Nikon to PL 1.4x tele-extender with 85mm f1.4 and 135mm f2.8 Nikon AIS lenses which also mounted on the Nikon D70.
I love the form factor of the A-Minima. The amazing thing about using it to shoot b-roll around Meheba is that it really wasn't so different from using the DVX. Using the 9.5mm Superspeed, or the Nikon 85mm on the adapter, the Aaton wasn't significantly bigger than the DVX, though it was much heavier, and I had to carry an extra magazine and my meter, which also made the tote bag (the same one) heavier. I ended up using the Canon zoom only on days when I had arranged for a vehicle to stick with me, as it pushed the package above what I could reasonably carry.
Adding Super16 to the project turned out to be very worthwhile. While only about 2% of the footage I shot originated with the A-Minima, it's about 20% of the edited version of Zambian Forge. Having lenses that were both wider and more telephoto than the DVX's and had shallower Depth of Field gives the film more visual variety, as does the use of overcranking and the time-lapse I shot using the A-Minima's built-in intervalometer. I love shooting time-lapse. It's part of the reason I chose the name Cloudchaser when I founded my company. The intervalometer controls for the A-Minima are extremely simple and straightforward, and it is such a convenience to have it built into the camera body. Often I would catch a time-lapse shot while I was waiting for something else to come together, or while I was using the DVX to shoot an interview. The hardest part is figuring out how much ND and Polarizing filtration to use for a shot.
From the outset, I planned on transferring the Super16 to HD, knowing that this would allow a variety of interesting things in post. I had the negative telecined to D5, and then digitized using Final Cut's uncompressed codec at the full 1920×1080 resolution, at 23.976 fps. As I anticipated, the way odell and I edited the film, the Super16 and miniDV are intercut throughout much of Zambian Forge. Editing in a SD 23.976 timeline, we could zoom in and pan & scan over the Super16 when we wanted to, with resolution to spare. And, when we create HD / Digital Projection blow-ups of Zambian Forge, all of the Super16 (and digital still) sections of the film will make use of the extra resolution and color space. On future projects, I anticipate telecine direct to hard drive, skipping tape and its compression altogether.
Documentaries, especially ones with a photojournalistic component, provide unique challenges for a cameraman like myself. Practical considerations such as transport, reliability, and power draw become major issues. Large camera packages can overwhelm and intimidate the subjects, make them (or local authorities) suspicious, and can interfere with the crew's ability to gather good material. With the DVX100A, one gets a small, affordable workhorse of a camera that delivers impressive images and great audio for its price and form factor. The Aaton A-Minima allows one to capture all of the magic of shooting on film and to utilize an extensive number of lenses, all in a portable form factor that doesn't skip on the quality or features. I recommend both cameras highly. I love mine.

THE wait is over. So is the talk.
"Sonny is ready to go," Roosters skipper Anthony Minichiello declared.
Sonny Bill Williams will tonight return to rugby league after five years powering his way through rugby union.
The Roosters trained yesterday at Allianz Stadium between midday and 2pm, and star recruit Williams took part in the session.
He looked robust, fresh and powerful in a Roosters singlet.
Minichiello said Williams was at ease with the fortnight-long media frenzy surrounding his return.
"The media have put a lot of expectation on him," Minichiello said.
"But Sonny is a fantastic player and he has only come on board late, so he's still working out combinations.
"But he's ready to go. He's a freak of a player and he could come out and have a blinder straight up.
"He'll add something to us, there's no doubt about that, and he'll get better as the season goes on.
"His injury (pectoral) is pretty good. He's got all the ticks from the medical staff. Sonny's trained for the past two weeks, done all his contact work. He's fit and ready to go and I'm looking forward to playing with him.
"We're definitely supporting him in the way he's learning the structures and he's doing a lot of study on it."
Williams may be the Roosters' star but Souths have their own champion - fullback Greg Inglis.
Inglis will return to football this year weighing 109kg.
"He's one of the best players in the game and he's their go-to man," Minichiello said. "There are plenty of other players in their side we have to stop as well but he's definitely one who could have a great game for them.
"He's coming through the middle, then running out wide. And the way he played in the trial matches, it's going to be a tough task.
"Greg looks fit. Everyone knows the way he runs. He's athletic but obviously he has put a lot of hard work in during the pre-season. It's a big challenge for us. Hopefully we're up to it."
Roosters forward Boyd Cordner, named on an extended bench, has withdrawn with a shoulder injury.

the last showing of American Idiot was absolutely incredible! I had goosebumps the whole way through; all of you have amazing talent!
I don't normally review musicals – well, I need some nights off – but I saw Oliver Rowe's legendary youth production of Les Miserables so jumped at the chance of seeing his latest, the heart-breaking electro-rock spectacular about youthful disillusion, American Idiot. Am I glad I did.
Featuring songs from Green Day's Grammy-award winning, multi-platinum album American Idiot plus extra numbers from their follow-up 21st Century Breakdown, this is a post 9/11 tale of three young friends from the mid-west going through all the changes and choices growing up involves while not always managing to dodge the disasters.
Heart-breaking and inspiring by turns, this is sit up and pay attention from the off featuring an ensemble straight from Celestial Central Casting. Here three young men, Johnny, Tunny and Will try to flee their stifling small town lives for the city on a journey of fulfilment everyone can identify with.
But this isn't musical comedy, it's real life stuff, and they're quickly brought up against the hazards and responsibilities of what being grown up turns out to be. While Will has to stay home to attend to his responsibilities, Johnny gets addicted to the wrong crowd and Tunny barely survives entering the military. As a coming of age story this has it all.
The first half went by in an exuberant blur of solos, duos and huge ensemble set pieces. I'll confess to being damp-eyed right from the start at the sight of all the superbly disciplined performances on display many "professional" productions would do well to take a peek at. Cleverly showcased, everyone here had a chance to shine from the spectacular spontaneity of the exquisitely drilled all-singing, all-dancing young chorus thanks to the amazing Jessica Lambert's choreography through the minor characters to the superb aplomb of the leads.
Among the principals, Dominic Sterland gives a heartbreakingly poignant performance as Will, while Elliot Lolley scores a direct hit as Tunny, the jack-the-lad of all time. But even in this perfectly cast ensemble one name stands out, Chris Buckle in the complex role of Johnny. With this production Mr Buckle takes another step nearer his destiny as a true theatrical star.
Oh – and I nearly forgot – the superb onstage band are straight from Rock Heaven. Take a bow, fellas. This is real Broadway stuff from first to last. Bravo!
The show closes tomorrow – for tickets, visit www.lichfieldgarrick.com.

Performance Management in New York City: COMPSTAT and the Revolution in Police Management
Scholars may argue about the effectiveness of the "reinvention movement" at the state and federal level. At the local level, the managers of urban police forces have in fact reinvented American police administration, and in doing so have contributed to dramatic reductions in crime all across the nation. The story of this reinvention is complex, but central to it is a radical shift in the way police organizations strategically use information about performance to achieve greater managerial accountability. Because these new performance management techniques were pioneered in New York City in the mid-1990s, the development and implementation of Compstat by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) is a valuable case study of this new approach to policing.

Japan has the second largest healthcare market in the world after the United States. As the ageing population increases, so too does the demand for healthcare.
Healthcare and Medical - Japan Sector Report HEALTHCARE AND MEDICAL JAPAN Produced by: Hitomi Nakai, Senior Commercial Officer, British Consulate-General, Osaka Last revised October 2009 Whereas every effort has been made to ensure that the information given in this document is accurate, neither UK Trade & Investment nor its parent Departments (the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and the Foreign & Commonwealth Office), accept liability for any errors, omissions or misleading statements, and no warranty is given or responsibility accepted as to the standing of any individual, firm, company or other organisation mentioned. Published September 2009 by UK Trade & Investment. Crown Copyright © www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk Healthcare and Medical ? Japan Table of Contents OVERVIEW 3 OPPORTUNITIES CHARACTERISTICS OF MARKET 4 KEY METHODS OF DOING BUSINESS 7 WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU USEFUL WEBSITES 8 EVENTS 10 CONTACT LISTS 11 ANNEX 12 www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk Page 2 of 13 Healthcare and Medical ? Japan OVERVIEW The Japanese population is one of the world?s fastest-ageing. As of 1 September 2009, 22.7% of its 128 million populations is estimated to be over 65 and this figure is anticipated to increase to 31.8% by 2030 and to 40.5% by 2055. As the ageing population increases, so too does the demand for healthcare. Japan is the second largest economy in the world and also has the second largest healthcare market in the world after the United States. National medical expenditure in fiscal 2008 reached 34.1 billion yen (9.11% of GNI, £227.3 million at £1=150yen). Elderly people of 70 years old or over accounted for 43.5% of the total expenditure and this ratio is expected to grow further as the population ageing progresses. A reduction of healthcare expenditures, especially those on the elderly, is one of the Japanese Government?s pressing problems and two health insurance systems focusing on the elderly market were introduced in the past 9 years, ie the Long Term Care Insurance system in April 2000 and the Latter Stage Elderly Health Insurance system for those over 75 years old in April 2008. The Japanese medical devices market is the largest in the world after the United States and EU. Although domestic manufacturers of diagnostics equipment such as CT, MRI and electrocardiograph (ECG) have been doing comparatively well, nearly 50% of the market is supplied by overseas manufacturers, predominantly those of the United States. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) is responsible for health insurance and regulating medical devices under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (PAL). MHLW set up a regulatory agency named Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) in 2004 and revised PAL in 2005 with the aim of solving the problem of the device and drug lags by shortening the comparatively long waiting periods for regulatory approval. OPPORTUNITIES First-tier opportunities for British suppliers of medical devices exist with advanced and innovative products especially in the following areas: ` Medtech devices ` Infection control ` Preventative healthcare ` Diagnostics ` Novel medical treatments ` Diseases of an ageing population ` Oncology, Cardiology, Cerebrovascular, Orthopaedics ` Pain control MHLW published the Medical Device and Healthcare Technology Industry Vision in September 2008, which defined the following as the focus areas for the Japanese medical devices industry. In view of the current regulatory environment, most of these areas could be challenging but are regarded as second-tier opportunities for British suppliers: www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk Page 3 of 13 Healthcare and Medical ? Japan ` Surgical navigation (eg surgical robotics) ` Implantable medical devices (eg artificial hearts, artificial heart valves, intraocular lens) ` Regenerative medicine (eg cell sheet and iPS cell) ` Diagnostic devices for personalised medication (eg DNA chips and protein chips) ` Optical molecular imaging ` Non-invasive therapeutic products ` Intelligent diagnostic systems and equipment ` Neuromodulation devices In view of medical devices regulatory clearance, introduction of innovative products categorised as Class I will also have comparatively higher potential to attract Japanese importer's interest. For the home care market, there is little opportunity for ?me-too? products from Europe including UK in view of the long distance, long delivery time and high expectations in respect of quality, price and function by end-users. Niche products with unique features at competitive prices could target the long term care insurance market, whilst products with superior design and functions should target the top end of the market that is willing to pay more to get precisely what they want. UKTI publishes international business opportunities gathered by our network of British Embassies, High Commissions and Consulates worldwide. These opportunities appear in the Opportunities portlet on the relevant sector and country pages on the UKTI website. By setting up a profile you can be alerted by email when relevant new opportunities are published. New or updated alert profiles can be set in My Account on the website. CHARACTERISTICS OF MARKET (1) HEALTHCARE INSURANCE SYSTEM All Japanese citizens are covered by one of the following public medical insurance systems, which cover a large range of medical services. They are (a) Co-operative insurance (employees of large firms), (b) Government run employment-based health insurance (employees of small-medium firms), (c) Seafarer?s Insurance (seafarers), (d) Mutual Association Insurance (national / local government employees, private school employees), (e) National Health Insurance (self- employed / agricultural workers, elderly), and (f) Others. In addition, many people have private medical insurance. Systems (a)-(d) involve direct payment of the insurance contribution from people?s salary, similar to National Insurance in the UK. The insurance premium rate in 2009 is 8.2% of annual income which is shared by the insured person and the employer. This allows 70% of medical expenses to be paid by the insurance and 30% by the patient at the point of delivery. The services are provided in a free access system, in which citizens are free to choose medical institutions. Thus, patients, even though suffering a mild illness, tend to visit a large hospital equipped with various high-tech instruments / devices so that we see a concentration of patients in large hospitals. This is in marked contrast to the UK, where the first point of call is likely to be one?s GP. www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk Page 4 of 13 Healthcare and Medical ? Japan (2) MEDICAL EQUIPMENT MARKET Japan?s medical devices market is calculated as (production)+(imports)?(exports) and amounted to 2.1 trillion yen (£14.2 billion) in 2007. In 2007, local production value was 1.7 trillion yen for medical equipment and devices, which was 0.2% down from 2006. Within the medical equipment sector, the five major categories were diagnostic imaging equipment (23.5%), general surgical/orthopaedic supplies and related products (15.6%), artificial internal organ apparatus and assist devices (11.9%), physiological measuring and monitoring systems (11.9%) and radiography equipment and related tools (6.5%). Imports accounted for 47.9% of the total medical devices market (ie 1.0 trillion yen; £6.8 billion) in 2007 and there has been a steady increase in imports in recent years. The top four categories for imports were: artificial internal organ apparatus and assist devices (28.5%), general surgical/orthopaedic supplies and related products (25.0%), ophthalmic devices and products (mostly contact lenses; 15.7%) and diagnostic imaging apparatus (9.2%). The United States is the top exporter for all 10 categories except for ophthalmic products (Ireland is the top supplier) and home use medical devices (China). The United States accounted for 55.7% of all imports in 2007, followed by Ireland (10.8%) and Germany (6.3%). UK was ranked 8th by achieving 23.0 billion yen sales (ie £153 million) and occupied 2.2% of the imports, which was 0.2% up from 2006. Imported cardiac pacemakers, artificial joints, coronary stents, PTCA balloon catheters dominate their sectors of the Japanese market. Successful foreign suppliers set up an office, employ their own sales staff and provide prompt after sales services. Among UK companies, Smith and Nephew and Smith Medical stand out as being active in the Japanese market. (3) HOMECARE & REHABILITATION MARKET & THE LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE SYSTEM The Japanese government introduced a public insurance system for the care of the elderly at home and in nursing institutions in 2000. Anyone wishing to use the system should be assessed and categorised as having a specific need. Users pay 10% of the cost of the insured services. There are (1) domiciliary services and (2) facility services. Domiciliary services are further broken down into products and services. Products are either on leasing or purchase terms. Leased items include special beds, mattresses, wheelchairs, pressure sore prevention equipment, posture moving equipment, hand rails, slopes, walkers/walking sticks, prowling detecting systems and lifts/hoists. Those for purchase and home improvements include toilet seats, special bed pans/urinals, bathing seats, hand rails/hurdle for bathtubs, board/stool/portable baths and attachment to transfer lift (ie holding net). Facility services include care services at special nursing homes for the elderly; facilities of health care services for the elderly and long term care medical treatment facilities (hospitals or hospital wards). According to the Japan Assistive Products Association (JASPA), the market of assistive products was valued 1.3 billion yen in fiscal 2007 (£8.4 million and 0.7% up from 2006). JASPA also reported that the demand for personal care products such as hygiene goods and prosthetic limbs and fittings has been increasing. www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk Page 5 of 13 Healthcare and Medical ? Japan Generally speaking, the majority of the assistive and homecare products tend to be standardised and inexpensive. Competition from local and other Asian suppliers is fierce. However, there is also a market for more sophisticated, fashionable, customised and/or highly technical products for those willing to pay more to get a quality product. The market segment is not as large as the elderly care market, but many EU and US suppliers enjoy sales in this sub-sector. (4) REVISED PHARMACEUTICALS AFFAIRS LAW A new Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (PAL) has been fully enacted since April 2005 and has created a shift from a system focusing on manufacturing to one similar to those operating in Europe and the US, centred on marketing with an emphasis on post- marketing safety measures. Under PAL, there are two kinds of licence - ?manufacturing/market business licence? and ?manufacturing business licence?. Importers should have the former licence. A marketing company is required to appoint a ?Marketing Supervisor-General? who needs to be a pharmacist, and staff responsible for GVP (Good Vigilance Practice) and GQP (Good Quality Practice). Medical devices are classified into three classes: (1) general medical products (Class I), (2) controlled medical devices (Class II), and (3) highly controlled medical devices (Classes III & IV). Notification is required for (1), but technical documentation review is not required to bring a new product to market. Testing or auditing is not required either. Certification is required for (2) and a registered third party will review documentation before issuing certification. Products falling under (3) require Ministry approval. It is difficult to know in advance to which category of the three the Japanese Ministry of Health (MHLW) will assign a particular product, but broad guidelines are: 1) General medical products (corresponds to Class I) (Class I products are medical devices whose risk to human bodies in case of a defect/fault is seen very low. Examples are x-ray films, dental gypsum, medical in- vitro testing apparatus, steel products for medical/dental use, first aid bandages etc) Notification is required but technical documentation review is not required. Testing or auditing are not required either. 2) Controlled medical devices (Class II) (Class II products are medical devices whose risk to human bodies in case of a defect/fault is considered relatively low. Examples are ultrasonic diagnostic imaging apparatus, audiometers, endoscopes, electric therapy apparatus for home use, condom, dental materials etc) Certification is required. A registered third party reviews documentation (Good Vigilance Practice, Good Quality Practice, GMP, product summary technical documentation (STED)) and provide certification. 3) Highly controlled medical devices (Classes III & IV). (Classes III and IV products are medical devices whose defect/fault is considered to cause high or life threatening risks. Examples are artificial joints/bones, dialysers, hyperthermia equipment, intraocular lenses, cardiac valve prostheses, vascular grafts, stent, implantable cardiac pacemakers, artificial pancreas etc) Products require Ministry approval. The manufacturer must submit an application to the prefecture government where they are based. The application will be forwarded to Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) for approval. Devices that are equivalent to products that are already on the market are also evaluated for equivalence by PMDA. www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk Page 6 of 13 Healthcare and Medical ? Japan Marketing companies need to be accredited and comply with ISO 13485, a quality management system standard for the medical device and diagnostic industry. Eucomed (European Association of the Medical Technology Industry) has three areas of complaint about the PAL in Japan: (a) transparency, (b) consistency with Global Harmonization Task Force (GHTF) recommendations and (c) pricing. The new PAL implemented both price cuts and increased costs for foreign suppliers. Increased costs were both fixed (cost of redoing clinical approvals was typically 3- 4% of total sales) and variable (additional moving, tracing and cleaning of products typically cost a further 1% of sales). Further government-to-government or industry-to-industry discussions are needed with Japan to realise shorter approval times, recognition of CE marks and inclusion of medical devices in the EU/Japan Mutual Recognition Agreements. KEY METHODS OF DOING BUSINESS Despite what some books say about the uniqueness of Japan, there is nothing mystical about doing business in this country. Business is business here as elsewhere, and increasingly cosmopolitan. So you need not worry unduly about the niceties of Japanese etiquette. But a few general points are worth remembering: Above all, be patient. Do not expect quick returns. They may come. But for many Japanese companies, the emphasis is more on developing the sort of trust and mutual confidence that will lead to a strong, enduring relationship than on getting down to business instantly. This is why Japan is a market requiring a strategic approach rather than an opportunistic one. It is also why the potential for long- term achievement is so great. Compared to other Japanese industries, people in the healthcare / medical sector speak English relatively well. However, take things slowly. Many Japanese are too polite to let you know when they do not fully understand. Keep what you say simple and straightforward. The same is true if an interpreter is used. Other background information on doing business in Japan can be found on UKTI?s website. Simply go to the Japan country page where you will find information on: ? Economic background and geography ?

HwStorWmiFunctionControl routine
A miniport driver's HwStorWmiFunctionControl routine is called to enable or disable notification of events, or to enable or disable data collection for data blocks that the miniport driver designated as expensive to collect.
UCHAR HwStorWmiFunctionControl( IN PVOID DeviceContext, IN PSCSIWMI_REQUEST_CONTEXT RequestContext, IN ULONG GuidIndex, IN SCSIWMI_ENABLE_DISABLE_CONTROL Function, IN BOOLEAN Enable );
- DeviceContext
A pointer to the miniport driver-defined context value passed to ScsiPortWmiDispatchFunction.
- RequestContext
A pointer to the SCSIWMI_REQUEST_CONTEXT structure that the miniport driver passed to ScsiPortWmiDispatchFunction.
- GuidIndex
Specifies the block by its index into the list of GUIDs in the SCSI_WMILIB_CONTEXT structure that the miniport driver passed to ScsiPortWmiDispatchFunction.
- Function
Specifies ScsiWmiEventControl to enable or disable an event, or ScsiWmiDataBlockControl to enable or disable data collection for a block that was registered as expensive to collect (that is, a block for which the miniport driver set WMIREG_FLAG_EXPENSIVE in Flags of the SCSIWMIGUIDREGINFO structure used to register the block).
- Enable
Specifies TRUE to enable the event or data collection, or FALSE to disable it.
Return value
HwStorWmiFunctionControl returns SRB_STATUS_PENDING if the request is pending, or a nonzero SRB status value if the request was completed. The SRB status value returned by this routine is the same as what was passed in to ScsiPortWmiPostProcess.
This routine is identical in both definition and function to its SCSI port equivalent, HwScsiWmiFunctionControl.
When a miniport driver receives an SRB in which the Function member is set to SRB_FUNCTION_WMI, it calls ScsiPortWmiDispatchFunction with a pointer to an initialized SCSI_WMILIB_CONTEXT structure and MinorFunction set to Srb->WmiSubFunction. The SCSI port driver calls a miniport driver's HwStorWmiFunctionControl routine if MinorFunction indicates a request to enable or disable an event, or to enable or disable collection for a data block that the miniport driver registered as expensive to collect.
If a miniport driver does not implement a HwStorWmiFunctionControl routine, it must set WmiFunctionControl to NULL in the SCSI_WMILIB_CONTEXT the miniport driver passes to ScsiPortWmiDispatchFunction. The port driver returns SRB_STATUS_SUCCESS to the caller.
It is unnecessary for the miniport driver to check whether events or data collection are already enabled for a block because the port driver sends a single enable request when the first data consumer enables the block, and sends a single disable request when the last data consumer disables the block. The port driver will not call HwStorWmiFunctionControl more than once to enable a block without an intervening call to disable it.
If the SRB is completed in the HwStorWmiFunctionControl callback, then the miniport driver calls ScsiPortWmiPostProcess with an appropriate SrbStatus. If the miniport driver pends this SRB, then it should call ScsiPortWmiPostProcess when the SRB is done and before completing the SRB.

|Kakita Maratai
|Kakita Hiro
Kakita Maratai was an artisan and sculptor of the Crane Clan.
Family Edit
Maratai was the daughter of Kakita Hiro, the master playwright of Shizuka Toshi. When she was young, Hiro called her Little Hana. For her sixth birthday, the priest that had overseen her birth showed her how to sculpt flowers from clay, and she demonstrated innate aptitude for the arts. [1] Her mother was of higher station than Hiro, but his plays made him famous, and eventually, he grew influential enough to marry her. [2]
Exiled Edit
By accident, Maratai witnessed him in conversation with a man who was blackmailing Hiro. The blackmailer forced Hiro to produce plays that were fed to him. Maratai tried to do the right thing, but her father denied everything and she only succeeded in shaming herself, [3] so Maratai was who took the blame. When guards caughter her, Hiro remained quiet. [1] Her mother committed jigai, and her death poem blamed Hiro's coldness. [2] His pride had driven his only daughter away, his neglect had killed his wife, and his stubbornness had ruined his reputation. [1]
Colonies Edit
Second City Edit
Maratai left to the Colonies, and lived in a small shack in a clearing on the outskirts of the Artisan district of the Second City. [3] Maratai hired her gifts for food to patrons in the Second City, as Otomo Abare. She used to drink too much sake. [1]
Father's Death Edit
In 1198 news of her father's murder were given by Kitsuki Kinaro. [3] Maratai was attacked by a Goju when she was alone, but the timely arrival of Kinaro and Bayushi Makubesu saved her life. [4] Kinaro sent Maratai to the Dragon Embassy as a guest. She stayed there during the Siege of the Second City and the impending assault of the Ninth Imperial Legion, [5] which they survived. [6]
P'an Ku's Madness Edit
In 1199 the city was plagued with fires during the riots provoked by the influx of P'an Ku. Kinaro and Maratai moved to the House of the Sparrow's Song, to protect themselves inside a stone building in the Artisan District. Kinaro began to feel the grip of the mad dragon upon his will, but Maratai aided him to hold his sanity. He was wounded by the same Goju who had attacked them time before, and they were saved by the timely arrival of Kakita Ichigiku, who killed the assassin. They met Makubesu on the streets, and the group followed suit to the Imperial District. [7]
Hidden Code Edit
The group moved to Toshi Ranbo. Makubesu found a hidden code in the unfinished play of her father, Sins of the Father. He guessed that the point of Hiro's plays was to convey hidden messages to Spider Clan members in public. [2] Kinaro met the Susumu, who halted his investigation claiming the attackers operated without the endorsement of the Spider, and that the play was commissioned by the Kitsuki Daimyo as a gift to the Susumu. [8]
Restored Status Edit
Ichigiku, and Kinaro had been working with the Emerald Magistrate Bayushi Makubesu, and together exposed that Spider agents passed the messages during the performances of the plays, working as stageworkers, and marking the encoded sentence to another Spider agent who was watching it. Using these plays, the Spider leadership was able to issue orders across the lands, organizing their forces in spite of vast distances, and in the plain sight of the rest of the Empire. Makubesu realized these plays were used to mark the targets of the Night of the Assassins, such as Tamori Shaitung, Doji Nagori, Moshi Amika and many others. Ichigiku wrote a scroll with these allegations, and alongside Kinaro passed it to Susumu Takada, saying this matter was no longer in their jurisdiction, as it was now under the purview of the Emerald Magistrates. The high ranking Spider courtier was forced to present the scroll to the current Emerald Champion, Utaku Ji-Yun, as the past sins of those who were Spider, currently a Great Clan endorsed by the Empress herself. The Spider Clan restored Karatai's honor, and gifted her with an estate in Toshi Ranbo. [9]

unpleasant visit
I went to this Dr Moore in the hopes he can help me with my obstruction sleep apnea. Instead of addressing my concern, he talked about dx of GERD. He failed to adequately review my file and completely forgot about my sleep apnea, the reason for the referral. But that was not the main reason I am very dissatisfied with his performance. Because I mentionedto him tthat I have a herniated disc, he mainly focused the visit on my herniated disc, discredit my complaint that my pain is a result of the radiculopathy . Direct quote "I don't know what it is, but its not because of that. That's not my specialty, thank god". Did not listen to me.

After an hour over our appointment time, I was finally seen by Dr. Moore. I was a new patient and he recommended a test that was to be done in his office later that same morning. He said that he was too busy to discuss the results with me later that same morning, but that he would call me with the results. He never scheduled me for any followup appointment nor did he offer me any immediate treatment for my problem while I was there, and it has now been over three weeks and I still have not heard from him either by telephone or letter. Oh, and he did emphasize to me that he was a very caring physician and a good listener.

I waited three hours about 10 years ago. Dr. Moore was in no hurry to see me because he was in the hall joking, etc, with a fellow doctor. I went back 10 years only because of my doctors recommendation. I told them I wanted the first appointment. My scheduled apt. was 8:30. They wanted me there 20 minutes early, which I was. After waiting for over an hour I walked out, and I told them why. Dr. Moors thinks the world revolves around him.

The doctor did a great job, and I had an easy recovery. I was a little concerned because I am an adult; however, the recovery wasn't bad.

My Operation
Was hoping to have my Dad's operation done all in one operation when Dr. was done. But they found a 2nd degree cancer in the crevasse of my nose that he didn't see before so now we've got to go in for round two. My Dad is 86 and can't take it to much more.Dr. has a GREAT manner and personality and very professional late sometimes but does good work. I hope this second time will be the last.

I would NOT recommend Dr Moore
I had sinus and nose surgery. I was NOT told what to expect. There was NO complete consultation as to of details of my procedure. I was NEVER told what to expect following surgery. There was minimal paperwork with after-care procedures to follow. I had my second post-op appointment today. Dr Moore was arrogant and what I would concider to be a "bully" today. "Boy I feel sorry for the Doctor who has to do your facelift", Dr Moore. Ah.....I'm in my 30's and have NEVER discussed a facelift with this man???"Come on....you're a big girl. You've done this before." "Stop micro managing". I was trying to ask him questions with some of my concerns....and these are a few of the things that were said as he was speaking over me.I'm very disappointed and appalled with Dr Moore's out of line comments. I would NOT recommend Dr Moore. This is Orange County, there are plenty of other doctors that are just as qualified if not BETTER.

Not impressed!!
This doctor is never prepared when I visit him. Even though I have seen him 3 times in the past couple months he is clueless why i am there and what is going on. I recommend finding a different doctor.

Stay away
let me tell you something about this Doc, out of over 20 appts and surgery this butcher lied, made my condition worse, plus numerous complications, not to mention the 1+ hour waits every time(the drug reps go in constantly before you bringing him Starbucks & his RX checks-though now they come in thru the back door). After all that could only reverse part of procedure up in Stanford Med. and paying over $5,000

Genentech's Avastin approved for wider use in colorectal cancer
Genentech Inc.'s top-selling cancer drug Avastin won approval from U.S. regulators Wednesday to expand its use for metastatic colorectal cancer patients.
The Food and Drug Administration's decision allows Avastin, a monoclonal antibody that crimps the blood vessels that feed oxygen, blood and other nutrients to tumors, to be used by metastatic colorectal cancer patients whose cancer progressed when taking Avastin as their first line of cancer-fighting drugs.
Typically, doctors switch patients off a first-line drug if a cancer starts to grow again, but Genentech leaders have said doctors saw a benefit of extending the use of Avastin and, instead, switching the chemotherapy used in combination with the drug. An 820-patient, Phase III clinical trial seemed to demonstrate that effect, Genentech said, by improving overall survival by 19 percent, compared to those who received chemo alone, and a 32 percent improvement in progression-free survival, or the time a person lives without the cancer worsening.
The FDA had been scheduled to make a decision on the roughly $5,100-a-month drug, also known as bevacizumab, by Feb. 5.
Genentech is the South San Francisco-based U.S. biotech unit of Swiss drug giant the Roche Group.
Avastin in combination with chemotherapy already is approved for first-line and second-line treatment of cancer that has spread beyond the colon and rectum. Avastin also is approved in the United States for forms of brain, lung and kidney cancers.
"The majority of people diagnosed with metastatic colorectal cancer receive Avastin plus chemotherapy as their initial treatment," Genentech Chief Medical Officer Dr. Hal Barron said in a press release. "These people now have the option to continue with Avastin plus a new chemotherapy after their cancer worsens, which may help them live longer than changing to the new chemotherapy alone."

May is recognized as Mediterranean Diet Month. What better way to celebrate delicious Mediterranean meals than to pair them with delicious wine, too? Here are a few of Cellars Wine Club's favorite ways to incorporate wine into Mediterranean meals.
Making fresh pasta sauce from scratch is always a healthy option. Simply chop one red onion and sauté it. Add two chopped garlic cloves. Remember to always use olive oil. When the onions start to caramelize, add some chopped red tomatoes into the onion and garlic. Add some tomato paste, fresh basil and some pepper. Simmer everything for about 15 minutes.
When preparing your main dish, use olive oil as your cooking oil. This will start your meal in true Mediterranean fashion from the beginning.
Mediterranean food is known for the abundance of raw and fresh vegetables included in their diet. The nice thing with salads is that you can include almost any type of vegetables. Some of the most popular vegetables are carrots, potatoes, bell peppers, red onions, celery, arugula lettuce and spinach. Balsamic dressing is a staple among Mediterranean meals.
After your salad or in replacement of, start off with a light meal. Often, more vegetables. Try cooking red onions, bell peppers, sliced eggplant, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Place the veggies in your cooking pan and top with a few basil leaves to taste after cooking is complete. Compliment this veggie dish with a nice red wine, like Boutari's Naoussa Grande Reserve 2001.
Looking for a bread tip? Try whisking olive oil with balsamic vinegar and you will have the perfect Mediterranean-style bread dip. Elevate your dip by adding some herbs and spices like rosemary, mustard seeds, celery seeds, or fresh basil.
Load up on omega 3 by eating fish, especially tuna or salmon. Balance the taste of your fish with an acidity Domaine Tempier Bandol Rose 2007.
As you can see, there are endless ways to incorporate wine into Mediterranean meals. What are your favorite Mediterranean dishes?

iRVU: Hospital - Inpatient physician productivity as RVUs, charges, and compensation
By e-MedTools
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Productivity matters! Let iRVU track RVUs for you.
Physician income relies on productivity. Know your worth!
With over 70% of physicians getting paid on the basis of work RVUs, tracking your own productivity is essential to know what your productivity pay will be.
iRVU lets you track work RVUs (Relative Value Units) for inpatient medical services like new patient H&Ps, and follow up visits at the point of care.
Just type in the number of each type of patient encounter you perform, and iRVU does the work for you.
Just type in the number of new patient encounter for each coding level, and iRVU will automatically calculate your total RVUs, and RVUs per encounter.
iRVU is a critical tool for monitoring the value of work you perform.
Clinical productivity is often measured in terms of work relative value units (wRVUs), a measure defined by Medicare's Resource Based Relative Value Scale. Each Medicare reimbursed medical service in the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) system is assigned a wRVU value. Some services, such as hospital admission, are subdivided into levels of service (CPT codes 99221-99223) that correspond to increasing complexity of medical care and wRVUs. Determination of the appropriate level of service based on the medical care documented is complex, even for certified coding professionals. One found only 58% agreement on the appropriate coding level between experienced and certified coding professionals [King 2002]. Few physicians receive training in documentation and coding rules during medical school or residency, and often learn on the job.
These factors make appropriate medical documentation and coding key to practice survival. It can improve apparent productivity (wRVU generation) without increasing the workload (more patient encounters). Medical documentation audits demonstrate that physicians undercode as much as 19-33% of the time based on what is documented in the medical record [Kikano 2000, Holt 2010]. Using medical decision making as an indicator of the appropriate encounter level that could have been coded, other investigators have found that 80% of medical records are under-coded [Holt 2010].

What's New in Version 3.0.0
- New database system
- More stable
- More reliable
- Not compatible with older databases (Export your data before upgrading)
- Updated for iOS 8
- Retina Display
- Updated RVU values for late 2014
- Ability to estimate your compensation if you enter your pay per RVU
Customer Reviews
Beware. Previous version provided much more utility. I can't find critical care codes, extended care codes, outpatient codes and others used daily. Unless I'm missing something a previously wonderful and useful app has been gutted to barely functional with this upgrade.
No observation codes. Inpatient physicians don't just bill inpatient codes so flesh it out a bit. Add codes for obs care.
Good idea though!
Simple straight forward but it needs to have email fx
Needs to have the email function work. When I click on it and it doesn't seem to do anything. I could really use this for tracking the number of patients that I see and emailing that info to myself. Dear developer I cannot figure out how to send this support question to you any other way but using this comment review section!

"It feels really good to be named Big 12 Athlete of the Week," said Bookman. "I have done a lot in my four years of running track here but this is the first time that I have ever received this honor. It's a great addition to all of my other accomplishments."
The Dickinson, Texas, native holds conference rankings of sixth in the 60-meter dash (6.81), fourth in the 400-meter dash (47.66) and first in the 200-meter dash (20.81).
"This is just another step for Leo and what he has been able to accomplish," said head coach Stanley Redwine. "We appreciate the effort that he has set forth on the track and for the team. He is well deserving of the honor."
Bookman will build on his success this weekend as he will compete in the 200-meter dash at the Tyson Invitational.
