Believed to be first loan of this kind to care home sector
Read more: L&G
Legal & General (L&G) has agreed a £51m ($85.5) ten-year loan to the LNT Group, an owner and operator of care homes across the UK. It is believed to be the first time that tailored bilateral institutional debt finance has been provided to the care home sector, according to L&G. "We are extremely pleased to work with the LNT Group, providing the stable financing that clearly benefits a sector such as this and which traditional markets are now less likely to be able to provide," said Laura Mason, director of direct investments at L&G Capital. The loan is secured against a portfolio of mature care homes and will be used to refinance LNT's existing bank debt, releasing capital to support the company's plans for strategic growth. LNT, parent company of Ideal Carehomes currently operates 36 homes across the UK and aims to build between six and eight new care homes per year, which would create around 500 jobs on an annual basis. "Supporting our future growth, the long term facility not only gives the LNT Group stability but also releases necessary capital to underpin development opportunities and job creation," said Lawrence Tomlinson, chairman of the LNT Group. This deal forms part of L&G's larger UK housing and infrastructure investment strategy. One of the six UK insurers committed to investing £25 billion in the UK by 2018, L&G has invested £5.5bn in UK infrastructure projects to date, including a range of supply side housing. In Q1 2014, L&G agreed to forward fund and purchase five care homes in Suffolk with Care UK for £31m. L&G also acquired 13 care homes let to Methodist Care Homes for £70m in Q4 2013.

The Bread Basket: Reboot - Irish Dukes and Deer Ticks
By breadfan 6 Comments
So, I haven't done a formal blog in a long while and I figured I'd try get back into that. You know, spreading bread based nonsense.
Crusader Kings 2: Damn You, England!
If you read my Game of the Year blog post you may have noticed that I think Crusader Kings 2 is a great game, albeit for crazy people, but a great game nonetheless. I had been getting into Europa Universalis 3, though bingeing may be the more appropriate term, when I revisited the Crusader Kings 2 Quick Look. Upon doing some research into the game, which included watching bits and pieces of various Let's Plays online and checking out the game's forums here on Giant Bomb, I decided to take the plunge into Crusader Kings 2.
I began my first campaign as part of a non-unified Ireland, since I read that this was the best area for a beginner. As I began to get into the groove of things I slowly made some moves to take over different regions and was able to unite Ireland as a single country, with me as their illustrious leader. How unfortunate for them. Now this was where I had a realization of sorts; I can do whatever I want. That's what is great about games such as Europa and Crusader Kings. There is no set path or set in stone objectives that the player must adhere to. It's all about personal accomplishments.
My Irish kingdom began modestly, I've taken Iceland, remaining mostly inwardly focused, but I have begun to encroach upon Scotland. So far I've taken over only about three or four provinces, but goddamn England is messing up my plans! As these sorts of games are deeply historical, here is a general pro tip; Do. Not. Fuck. With. England. So at the moment I am sort of at an impasse as to what my next move will be, but I feel like I've spent enough time playing this campaign that I sort of want to wage war on England and see how horribly that goes.
If you're semi-interested in the general craziness that Crusader Kings 2 can offer, definitely check it out. Especially now. Thanks to the ongoing Steam sale.
New Year's Eve with Deer Tick
I don't know if anyone here on Giant Bomb is a fan of Deer Tick, but they are a fucking great band. I saw them earlier this year and was lucky enough to see them on New Year's Eve, for a second time. My group and I arrived just at the perfect time and we were able to get a standing area right in front of the stage. The show was great and was a hell of a way to ring in the new year. Check out their stuff and the pictures below. I recorded some video, but since I was standing right next to a speaker it is nothing more than a rattling booming noise. I am glad I have these pictures to remember the concert because the rest of the night was a drunken haze.

Former Steamboat Springs resident Peggy Hubbard McLeod died Oct. 16, 2006, at the Bozeman Deaconess Hospital in Bozeman, Mont. She was 66.
She was born April 21, 1940, in Steamboat Springs to Robert Henry and Betty Eleanor (Alfred) Hubbard.
Peggy was raised in Steamboat Springs, where she graduated from high school. She earned a bachelor's degree in botany from Colorado State University in 1961 and also studied toward a masters degree in math at the University of Colorado. She married Bruce McLeod in 1961 in Steamboat Springs.
Peggy moved to Bozeman in the early 1970s with her family. A few years later they bought the Spear Lazy U Ranch in Wilsall, where they spent summers and most weekends. She loved the ranch and riding her all-terrain vehicle around it. Peggy was on the executive committee for the Upper Shields Valley Watershed Association, was licensed in herbicide application, and gave many seminars on control of noxious weeds. She was recognized as Landowner of the Year in 2006 by the Montana Wildlife Federation.
When she was not spending time at the ranch, she was involved in the Bozeman community. She was a Girl Scout leader for more than 13 years.
In the past, she also volunteered for the Eagle Mount Ski Program and at the Bridger Alternative School tutoring students in math and sewing.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
She is survived by her husband, Bruce McLeod of Bozeman; her son and daughter-in-law Dr. Robert and Diane McLeod of Boulder; grandson, Connor McLeod of Boulder; her daughter and son-in-law, Cam and Donny Harrel of Brier, Wash.; grandson and granddaughter, Easton and Brooklyn Harrel of Brier, Wash.; and sister and brother-in-law, Nancy and John Todd of Anchorage, Ala.
Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Peggy's life will be in the summer at the family ranch in Wilsall.
Memorials may be made in her name to the American Cancer Society at P.O. Box 22718, Oklahoma City, OK 73123-1718.

Football management is a solitary experience when things are going badly. The lines of communication falter and break down on and off the pitch as owners become nervous, players distracted.
Sam Allardyce, the bookies' favourite to be the next Premier League boss to lose his job, tonight leads what is left of his West Ham squad into a daunting Capital One Cup semi-final first leg against a Manchester City side who score for fun at home.
Just three days ago, West Ham's youngsters were thrashed 5-0 by Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup and the flak has been raining down on Allardyce ever since.
Earlier in the week co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold offered their manager their public support and now, in case his critics feel Allardyce may also be losing the dressing room, defender Joey O'Brien has backed his boss to guide West Ham out of trouble.
O'Brien's career was heading for the buffers following serious injury when Allardyce, attempting to guide West Ham back to the top flight at the first time of asking, offered the Republic of Ireland international one last chance.
He took it and has since been a reliable performer for Allardyce and the club, illustrated recently when, with all three of the team's central defenders out injured, he moved from his preferred full-back position to fill the breach.
Tonight he may line up alongside new loan signing Roger Johnson at the heart of the West Ham defence but whatever the position O'Brien is asked to fill, he can't wait for the challenge of facing the most potent attacking team in the country this season.
"I'm really looking forward to this game," said the 27-year-old.
"It's the semi-final of a cup competition and I've never played in one of those before, unlike some of the other lads. It's about the occasion and it's where, as a player, you want to be.
"As for Sam, yes, he gave me a chance to resurrect my career and I will always be thankful for him but apart from that, he's just a great manager.
"He has proved that in the years he has been in the Premier League. The year I signed for Bolton as a youngster, he did an unbelievable job to keep them up.
"He managed it, though, and then after a couple of years brought in the big hitters in the game. Those players weren't signing because it was Bolton Wanderers, they were signing because of him.
"If this club were looking for a manager to keep them up, they would go straight to Sam. That's down to his record of keeping clubs in the Premier League and digging out results.
"He's a top, top manager who, not long ago, was in with a shout of getting the England job.
"I understand the criticism because that comes when you are where we are in the Premier League but if we had a few more points on the board he wouldn't be getting the grief he is now.
"It's up to the players to help him. We haven't been up to scratch this season, we've let points go, games go — games we should have won."
O'Brien, like most of the senior players, was not involved in Sunday's FA Cup debacle at the City Ground but watched the match on television. "It was hard watching that match on Sunday, with the young players getting beat like that and theirs, I suppose, taking the mickey a bit," he said.
"It's not nice but the manager had to make the decision and if you look at the three games we face in seven days — the FA Cup tie, the semi-final of the Capital One Cup and a massive game against Cardiff [in the Premier League] at the weekend — Sunday's match had to be the lesser of those three.
"This is a new year, there's half a season still to go and the injured players are coming back. I'm confident we'll improve from now on."
One of those players is £15million striker Andy Carroll, who is back in training and inching ever closer to a return to action. O'Brien added: "It's good news for everyone because big Andy is a massive player for us.
"He is a great influence on the team when he plays and I don't believe that any central defender wants to play against him.
"Andy creates momentum for the rest of us, gets us on the front foot and makes things happen."
O'Brien, though relishing his first semi-final, acknowledges the difficulty of the task ahead tonight against a City side so dominant at home.
"We know that it will be a really hard task," he said. "But the aim has to be to keep the game alive for the second leg back down in London where the place will be rocking and where I fancy us to beat anyone."

I have a major soft spot for floral photography. Whether it's dark and moody or light and airy, the delicate layers of fresh flowers are irresistible for me. I'm always trying to learn new ways to photography flowers around the office from Max, but I'm also excited to discover photographers and stylists who are taking photographs and sharing them online. I've been following stylist and florist Ashley Woodson Bailey online for a while now and was thrilled to hear from Ginny Branch Stelling that she would soon be launching an online shop to sell her floral photography in print form.
Today that site is live and I'm completely smitten with all of the photographs. Ashley has arranged her prints into two categories: Dark and Light. Both are beautiful examples of how gorgeous flowers can be in their simplest form and a great way to have some flowers in your home without buying a new bunch every week. Click here to check out the new shop and order prints online. Thanks, Ginny! xo, grace

GOOD SKATE a Nordic charmer warms the wintry scene
Norway, a frosty land of fjords and folklore, has long evoked superlatives from fanciers of natural scenic beauty. Ideally illustrating the wisdom of such praise is our February Playmate, a captivating example of nature's Nordic handiwork called Kari Knudsen. Born in Romsdal, Norway, a tiny hamlet of less than 80 souls, Kari spent her girlhood there dreaming of becoming an actress; two years ago she sailed alone for the U.S. to seek her own Valhalla amid Broadway's neon glitter. In the States, our green-eyed thespian has proved to everyone's satisfaction that she is amply endowed with talent as well as piquant beauty, for she has already garnered a fistful of stage, screen and TV credits. A well-turned 23, Kari is sold on horseback riding, knitting, modern jazz and dating. But she definitely does not dig over-egoed guys who call her "honey" at first sight. Although she is happily becoming Americanized, Kari occasionally has a homesick hankering for the fjords in her past; on winter weekends she is apt to leave her acting chores behind and go native with a rink-a-ding whirl of skating in New York's Central Park. Needless to say, this lovely argument for international exchange is an eye-catching figure skater (she cuts a neat 36-23-35). In the foldout, 5'4" Valkyrie Kari presents a Valentine dividend: her on-the-rocks cavorting done for the day, she relaxes before the hearth in a fetchingly feminine pose, an inviting northern light in her eyes as she warms both herself and the winter season.

A Columbia County Sheriff's Office bicycle deputy wasn't seriously injured Thursday when he was hit by a minivan on Washington Road.
Deputy Kevin Center and his partner were riding bicycles along Washington Road near Lowe's at about 3 p.m. when they tried to cross Washington Road to respond to a vehicle wreck, according to sheriff's Capt. Sharif Chochol.
Yasmill Ramirez, 37, of Windmill Lane in Evans, was driving west and didn't see Center. She hit him with her Toyota minivan.
A boy on his tricycle. His daddy close behind.
It's a familiar scene, found in photos and movies and memories. But when Andrew Rogers pedaled, father Rodney chased him with his IV pole. In this story, Andrew was fresh out of surgery, one of more than 40 he's had in his young life.
Studying abroad with Rotary
The following accounts were taken from Columbia County Sheriff's Office incident reports:
Rocks thrown at vehicles
Several residents told authorities that someone threw rocks at their vehicles early Saturday morning.
Grovetown area motorists used to get stuck in traffic on Lewiston Road and William Few Parkway can expect some relief soon.
A traffic light was installed at the intersection last week and construction on the widening and addition lanes will begin soon, said Matt Schlachter, Columbia County Construction and Maintenance Division director.
The former treasurer of an Evans neighborhood association has pleaded not guilty to felony theft charges.
It was announced at a Friday arraignment hearing in Columbia County that Laurie Wainwright Vanover, 46, of Andover Court, pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of theft by taking on Thursday.

Girly movie and… school consolidation?
Shawn Magrath
So as I mentioned in my last post, I had planned (and I use the word "planned" very loosely) to go see "The Vow" with my wife last weekend. As expected, the movie got me into trouble because according to the wife, I "don't do anything that romantic." True. In a theater full of roughly 150 people, about a tenth of them were guys who had also "planned" to be there and are now paying the price – I'm sure I wasn't the only one of them in a lobby full of estrogen and teary eyes who was in deep trouble with their other, better looking half. Thanks for setting the bar a bit too high again, classic chick flick. Next time, I'm picking the movie.
Switching gears, I had a great time speaking with Sheila Marshman over the phone last week. Marshman will be speaking at the UN on March 1st, as I mentioned in today's story. Before beginning work at The Evening Sun, the extent of my agricultural expertise covered only the basics; plants grow from the dirt and cows need to eat. But with each ag. related story I write, I'm learning more and more, and I've grown a great deal of respect for the agricultural market in the county. My perceptions of plants and cows have been made anew in the light of local agriculturists.
With talk of consolidation surfacing once again in today's paper, I wonder about the future of Chenango County. 21 townships, (8 villages?), and one city in a county of 50,000 – seems like there should be some tightening of the belt someplace. I read a 30 sec. post that suggested we consolidate school districts because paying one superintendent would be more lucrative than paying for ten. There might be some truth to this, and if someone can figure out a financially sound way to do this without overcrowding classrooms and subjecting kids to a four-hour-one-way bus ride while still maintaining a reasonable student to teacher ratio in closely supervised educational environment, I will follow that someone like the Jews followed Moses in the desert for forty years – without question. Good luck with your idea, 30 seconds ranter.

He was supposed to be the future of the Denver Nuggets. Instead, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf decided that the only way to stand up for Allah was to sit down.
Photography by Lara Rossignol
He was beginning to feel like a contemporary slave. He wanted to play basketball, then go home and read. But under the NBA spotlight he was bound by the stifling realization that his life was no longer his. He was told where to donate his money and which social events he should attend. During the rare moments he had to himself, he took solace in reading virtually everything on or authored by Malcolm X. Malcolm became his friend, his mentor, someone he could depend on and who understood. He built a library of Malcolm texts and speeches.
Malcolm's words filled Jackson's head: You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.... Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.... Time is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor. Truth is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor. You don't need anything else.
On February 26, 1993, a bomb exploded in the basement garage of New York's World Trade Center, killing six people and injuring more than a 1,000 others; a terrorist group of Muslim fundamentalists claimed it was responsible. The group, which was well known to U.S. intelligence experts, in effect had just announced itself to the rest of America. It called itself Al Qaeda. It was only a few weeks later, that spring, that Chris Jackson officially concluded his conversion to Islam and readied himself for a journey to Mecca.
It was suggested that he adopt a Muslim name. Jackson had no idea what he wanted to be called, so he consulted two imams at the Colorado Muslim Society. "One of them says, you will be 'Mahmoud,' and the other says, 'Abdul-Rauf,'" he recalls. "I really think one guy's name was Mahmoud and the other was Abdul-Rauf. I said 'OK, sounds good.'"
The name means "elegant and praiseworthy, most merciful, most kind." And it aptly described his new basketball play. He lost 32 pounds and worked on his game nine hours each day—setting aside time to pray between breaks. That season, he averaged 19.2 points per game, a career high; he participated in the All-Star slam-dunk competition, and he won the NBA's Most Improved Player award. He signed a five-year, $13 million contract extension, then led his team in scoring again.
He credited his faith and its codified structure for his improved game. While he was once a rudderless ship in a sea of insecurity and doubt, Islam told him the proper way to bathe, how to handle his finances, how to pray. How to live. Never having the hand of a father to guide him, he now had Allah to point the way. The Quran was Abdul-Rauf's how-to guide. Budding star or not, endorsements were still slow to come, as his name and religion conjured up images of Middle Eastern radicals.
Meanwhile, Abdul-Rauf's faith drove a wedge between him and the team. He refused to shower naked with his teammates because of an Islamic tenet demanding modesty. He wanted a separate room to pray. He observed the month-long fast of Ramadan—dropping from 163 pounds to 147—right in the middle of the NBA season. "I loved him," Issel says. "I was so proud of how he turned things around on the court, but I didn't fully understand his religion and why he was doing the things he was doing. Frankly, I thought some of that was hurting the team, and I wished he wouldn't have done it. Sometimes I'd see him out there and I wished that I had that Baptist boy from Mississippi."

Grants to fund job training
OAKDALE, Pa. Emphasizing skills training as key to a growing middle class, President Barack Obama on Wednesday announced $600 million in competitive grants to spur creation of targeted training and apprenticeship programs to help people land well-paying jobs.
"When it comes to training our workers, not all of today's good jobs require a four-year college degree," Obama said at Community College of Allegheny County. "But I promise you, there's not a job out there that's going to pay a lot if you don't have some specialized training."
With the economy recovering and unemployment still stubbornly high at 6.7 percent, Obama portrayed skills training as critical to maintaining the U.S. competitive edge in a global economy that has rapidly changing technology and competition from countries like China.
Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker said businesses spend $400 billion a year to train their workers. She said a goal of the programs is to encourage employers to make that training available to others.
Obama announced two programs, the larger of which will put nearly $500 million toward a job-training competition run by the Labor Department and designed to encourage community colleges, employers and industry to work together to create training programs for the jobs employers need to fill. Applications are to be available now and due by July 7.
A priority will be placed on partnerships including national entities, such as industry associations, that pledge to help design and institute programs that give job seekers a credential that will be accepted by employers across a particular industry.
Under the second program, scheduled to begin in the fall, the Labor Department will put an additional $100 million in grants toward rewarding partnerships that expand apprenticeship programs.
This competition will focus, in part, on partnerships that create programs in high-growth fields, such as information technology, health care and advanced manufacturing, as well as programs that provide college credit or industry-wide skills certification.
Obama said apprentice programs should be expanded because 9 out of 10 apprentices get jobs that pay average starting salaries above $50,000 a year.
Neither program requires approval by Congress because the money has already been authorized for spending.

LOST Actor Matthew Fox Arrested For DUI
Actor Matthew Fox, who rose to fame on the hit tv-series Lost, was arrested early this morning on suspicion of a DUI.
Fox was apparently heading out to get a late-night snack when he was stopped by police officers at 3:23 am in Oregon, where he resides with his family. According to police, there were passengers in Fox's car at the time of his arrest.
This latest arrest follows an incident late last summer when Fox was arrested after allegations were made that he assaulted a female bus driver. According to the bus driver, after she ordered Fox to not board the bus because she believed he was drunk, he became enraged and punched her in her leg, arm, breast, and… other more sensitive areas.
Fox counter-sued, saying the woman was lying, and that she attacked him, unprovoked. He also claimed that due to her allegations, she had affected his reputation and therefore his ability to gain work.

Here, Athlon Venice 3200+/ Audigy SE (shielded)@X-Fi Xtreme Audio, I have to set all threads to "real time", to avoid crackling. Less, or none at all, clipping than in Foobar.
Lilith + Asio4all + CMSS-3D =
Do you mind trying version 0.992 of Lilith with "asio(project9k)" and asio4all plugin? I find it even better... nay noticeably better than even the newer ulilith version.
It is in Japanese and haver godawful UI, but imo the sound it produce is very worth it.
a) it's a very bad idea to randomly set threads to real-time
b) audio glitches have nothing to do with clipping, you're confusing things
c) foobar plays audio 1:1 like any other non-defective audio player so there cannot be "less clipping"
d) this thread gotta be a joke
It doesn't support VST plugins, does it?
Hi leeperry,
What is VST plugins? Is this plugins can make uLilith sound better? How to use it with uLilith?
I thought the biggest drawback is the inability to do a proper search which is even more apparent if you have a humongous playlist like me. I'm aware you can search using the first string of the filename but it's near unusable for me.
If you have Foobar, try loading everything to RAM first as some people claimed that it reduces potential jitter. I couldn't tell a difference but it's nice not to have stutters when you experience heavy network or HDD activities.
And also hello, Excelcius. Nice to see you're posting here too.
Nah, I have no problems with stuttering. The most I'll usually be doing is playing around with Photoshop or messing around on the web, like now. I'm not sure if that counts as heavy network or hard disk activities, and plus I have stuff downloading in the background, kind of. I'll give the RAM thing a try.
Would you mind posting a link to it ? I will try google...
right-click/VST plugins/ then you can load them. VST plugins are the most widespread plugins in the PC pro-audio world for EQ, crossfeed and so on. They're processed in 64fp in uLilith, and only 32fp in fubar. Very useful if you wanna follow this tutorial: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/413900/how-to-equalize-your-headphones-a-tutorial
I found the SQ even worse when caching the files in RAM in fubar, using XP SP3
I tried uLilith but compared to foobar the soundstage collapsed, especially vertically. Sounds are more pinpointed in uLilith so foobar may be a bit blurrier, but I prefer the larger soundstage. uLilith also had slightly sharper highs that got annoying in songs I have no problems with in foobar.
I couldn't get WASAPI output to work in uLilith though, it said the device was already allocated, so I used ASIO in Lilith. This may amount to the differences I think I heard.
foobar has automatic HDCD decoding and mixing matrix, but g*ddamn this player sounds horrid. I've tried really hard, but this player is dull as a dish washer...it'd make me sell my audio gear and buy a jackhammer as a new hobby.
it's not uLilith that sounds "better", it's just foobar that sounds....fubar: http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/pcaudio/messages/2/21586.html
"the best player I've used in my system in terms of sound. Larger soundstage, everything fleshed out better/of a whole, low bass/bass/drums more impact better defined, everything highs on down more articulate"
I think he was agreeing with dropping Foobar2k since the fish symbolizes change according to Greco-Roman mythology. =P
When I play a song with uLilith through ASIO4ALL and open a .avi the volume of the song goes up. When I quit the .avi the volume goes back to normal again. How come?
That's weird, I can't play anything else if uLilith is playing. Having uLilith open but not playing anything then play a video or something in another application does nothing to that other app/video. I, too, use ASIO4all.
your video player messing w/ the windows master volume or so? I often do this w/ PotPlayer+Reclock and uLilith+A4A, everything's fine.

EFPIA's inaugural Health Collaboration Summit, held in Brussels on 28-29 October and attended by some 250 delegates highlighted the value of co-operation between all healthcare stakeholders to improve the development of therapies and assure swift and equitable access across Europe.
The opening messages at the Summit were delivered by EFPIA Director General Richard Bergström and Nicola Bedlington, Secretary General of the European Patients Forum (EPF).
Bergström talked about the need for a joint stakeholder definition of what constitutes good outcomes and the need for industry to intensify its collaboration with patients so that medicines can be targeted to their needs more effectively. "Collaboration has always been part of the genetic setup of our industry, but it has evolved," he said. Bergström also spoke about the success of the Innovative Medicines Initiative but warned that innovation was irrelevant if it could not be accessed by patients.
Bedlington spoke of a new climate of engagement between patients, industry and other healthcare stakeholders, adding that patient organisations can take the role of "critical friend" to other stakeholders in healthcare. She highlighted the benefits of the European Patients' Academy on Therapeutic Innovation (EUPATI) and called for a follow-on initiative. "EUPATI has allowed us to think about how to engage patients for the medicines lifecycle," she suggested.
In a session moderated by Maggie Alexander, Chief Executive of the European MS Platform, Magda Kalata, Yasemin Sener, Clara Zachmann, Diana Kanecka, Katrina Murray, representatives from the European Health Parliament – a platform for 80 young professionals looking to re-invigorate the EU healthcare system – discussed solutions to combat spiralling healthcare costs and improving access to therapies. In this context, they looked at the potential of: telemedicine; a proactive vaccination plan; a single digital market for healthcare; developing a European Access Observatory to assess access annually; early diagnosis; and EU roles in screening programmes and cross-border diseases outbreaks.
Moderated by Novartis's Head of Corporate Strategy and Healthcare Systems Paul van Arkel, the next session was dedicated to "Delivering better outcomes and patient-centered care". Speaking on the topic of dementia, Irene Oldfather, Director, Health and Social Care Alliance Scotland, said that working with EUPATI offered an opportunity for a paradigm shift in terms of collaboration, which would benefit patients. Juan Jover, Professor of Medicine in Madrid and Head of the Fit for Work Initiative, suggested that cross-financing between health and social care systems might be good for sustainability and offer patients improved access.
Whilst expressing concern about Europe's cautious approach to data sharing, Matic Meglic, Strategy and Business Model Innovation Director Integrated Health Solutions, Medtronic, said that, nevertheless, Europe needed to have registries in place to offer value-based healthcare and to improve significantly its ability to share data across countries. Christoph Thalheim, Vice CEO and Director External Affairs at European Multiple Sclerosis Platform (EUReMS), agreed, but added that Europe needed to be capable of monitoring the "right patient, right treatment, right time" proposed solution by setting up disease-specific registry networks.
Stephan Korte, Head of the Novartis IMI Office, talked about the significant contribution to research and healthcare solutions gained through IMI. He underscored the absolute necessity of having anonymised patient data available for research purposes.
The third session, in the afternoon, focused on "Working together towards sustainability". Stanimir Hasurdjiev, EPF, and Clara Zachmann, Ethics & Policy Manager EGA, updated delegates about progress made since the Vilnius Declaration of 2013 – which set out efforts to protect European health systems – and the Riga Conference this year. Hasurdjiev also explained about the patient access partnership (PACT) that was inspired by the Vilnius Declaration and announced a joint MEP Interest Group of Access to Healthcare and PACT debate set for 17 November.
On sustainability and innovation in the field of CNS, Frédéric Destrebecq Executive Director European Brain Council, called for increased public investment as the private sector was losing interest in the area.
Martin van der Graaff Secretary, Scientific Advisory Board (WAR) National Healthcare Institute, meanwhile, suggested that sustainability in healthcare was impossible without shared responsibility. He added that accelerated uptake could not be achieved without accelerated exit options and that in order to measure outcomes, "we must make sure that we actually can measure them".
The keynote address was offered by EFPIA President and Novartis CEO Joe Jimenez. He emphasised the need to move from the current transactions-based approach to healthcare, to an outcomesbased model – which was clearly in the interests of patients. Jimenez also stressed that patient groups must be engaged in defining the outcomes that really matter to them.
He highlighted the value of real world data in order to better understand what outcomes are being achieved and which are being missed. Jimenez outlined the challenges to the outcomes programme in Europe – data privacy; data access; and data analytics – and called on stakeholders to engage in the data privacy debate, saying that this had to be resolved in order that future health improvement enjoyed a solid foundation on real world evidence.
This year's Health Collaboration Summit featured the inaugural Health Collaboration Award designed to showcase and share best practice in collaborative projects between patient organisations, healthcare systems and industry. The Portugal-based COGWEB Network won the Award, with Know Your Pulse from the UK claiming the runner-up prize.
Day 2 of the HCS opened with a series of presentations on transparency in a session moderated by Eric Racine, Vice President & Head, Global Patient Advocacy, Sanofi. Andy Powrie-Smith, Communications Director at EFPIA discussed the need to meet the expectations of society in the critical area of transparency, he welcomed #AllTrial's drive to bring clinical trial transparency to the fore and emphasised that the pharmaceutical industry was committed to this, providing patient anonymity is guaranteed. Powrie-Smith went on to outline how industry will begin publicly disclosing payments to health professionals bringing greater transparency to this already well-regulated and vital relationship.
Jakub Dvořáček, Executive Director, AIFP pointed out that while the pharmaceutical industry had the support of the Czech pharma market in delivering the public disclosure of value transfers to healthcare professionals, 60% of Czech HCPs are unlikely to give their consent to the data being published. Mieke Goossens, Legal Counsel- Belgium, pharma.be, said that experience of disclosure in Belgium showed that effective communication was a key element to securing success.
Ilaria Passarani Head of the Food and Health Department, BEUC, The European Consumer Organisation, stressed that where disclosure was concerned, it was important to establish a level playing field in all EU countries. She noted that transparency should always be the default option and that transparency in pharma was essential to build patient trust. Brennan Jacoby, Philosopher, suggested that being transparent is not necessarily the same as being trustworthy and therefore that people who perpetually distrust the pharmaceutical industry may not buy into the disclosure effort.
Moderated by David Haerry, European Aids Treatment Group (EATG), the final session of the HCS took a long, hard look at "Best practice in industry-patient relationships". Donna Altenpohl, Vice President of Communications & Government Affairs, GSK Vaccines, underscored that industry had to weed out isolated examples of bad behaviour and reinforce value of innovation. Effective access could only be gained through payer commitment, she said, adding: "Innovation is only innovation where you have affordable access to it." She made the case for enforceable codes of conduct and relevant patient-industry relationships. Tim Windle, Public Affairs Manager, ABPI said that it was important for industry to focus on what brings value to the patient, noting that patient-centricity and profit should not be at odds with each other.
Audrey Craven, Past President, EFNA pointed out that one way for patients to shape relationship with industry would be by speaking clearly with one voice. She called on patients to set the agenda, rather than follow funding, as a means of emphasising their integrity. Mathieu Boudes, Operations and Projects Manager EURORDIS, similarly noted that, to have effective patient engagement, an empowered patient was key. Making the industry-patient relationship public in all details, represented a key action to building trust, he added.
Danish journalist Steffen Bang Nielsen, Dagens Medicin, noted that the pharma industry was perhaps the most regulated industry in the world. He did, though hypothesise that it would be better if the industry could focus more on who actually was gaining from specific aspects of collaboration.
The HCS 2015 was closed by Nicola Bedlington, Secretary General, EPF, who noted the urgent need for all stakeholders to enter into collaboration to address the very real challenges facing Europe's health systems today. She emphasised the need to focus on better outcomes, defined in partnership with patients, to promote sustainability and increased access. Bedlington said that these would be unachievable without shared responsibility, but at the same time there must be a level playing field between member states.

sample the album:
Morph is based on the same principle as Horns 1.2 (CCS 38). It's a "pseudo-drone" piece, the overall sound of the ensemble or orchestra being structured by the decisions the musicians have to take in order to keep this sound alive while moving in a small, pre-established musical perimeter."-Confront Concert of the Orchestra National de Creation, Experimentation and Improvisation Musical (ONCEIM) The ONCEIM involves the invention of a new mode of collective game together in a large plastic sound approach where each musician has a major creative role, the music building on each unique virtuosity and musical vocabulary they have developed. Created and directed by pianist improviser Frederic Blondy, the ONCEIM brings together top-flight musicians from disparate musical backgrounds: improvised music (Hubbub, Zoor), jazz (Orchestre National de Jazz, Big Umlaut Band), free jazz (Actuum, The Fish Die Hochstapler), classical and contemporary music (IRCAM, Orchestre National de France, Ensemble Intercontemporain, The Balcony), contemporary music (Makhno, Zombie Zombie silver-Moon), experimental music (Arnaud Rivière).

Hollywood by way of Oil Country
by Ryan Dittrick / Edmonton OilersVIDEO: Exclusive Tour with Kevin Smith |
As an award-winning Hollywood star, Kevin Smith has helped grace the Silver Screen with such hits as 'Dogma,' 'Clerks" and 'Zack and Miri Make a Porno,' among others as he follows his passion in film.
But something else, in a much colder but equally as intense environment, caused Smith to re-evaluate, re-charge and inspire. It was hockey, and it's become an invaluable component to Smith's star-studded career.
His mother, who worked in a medical centre along with the New Jersey Devils' team doctor when he was a child, got the ball (and an addiction) rolling.
"She would always bring home tickets, sticks and anything else I'd like," Smith said. "I've been a hockey fan pretty much since birth. New Jersey was a tough sell at the time, but because of that, I was able to get in all the time to catch some games. I guess that's where it all started."
He's always been a New Jersey supporter; born and raised in Red Bank, the Devils routine is instilled, much in the way Oil Country breeds its drillers. Just recently, however, he became an Oilers fan and it, too, began under humble circumstances.
As Canadian as can be, a CBC documentary helped pen orange and blue into his extraordinary agenda.
"I was watching 'Hockey: A People's History.' In the section where they talk about Gretzky, I was swept away. You think know something about someone you'll never meet, but someone came and put him in perspective. I began to think about him in a way I never did prior to that viewing. It was on another level.
"When you dig deeper, you start getting into the mythology, the lure and the entire history of the Oilers. What they were able to put together was something special. The example that they set was one I like to take into my day-to-day; to live and to play the way Gretzky and the Oilers did.
"I have fun, I'm enthusiastic, I'm a good teammate, and I'm smart and logical. They were a huge inspiration for me and still are to this day."
Smith had made several visits to Edmonton in recent years as he hosted comedic Q and A sessions, but once he'd gained knowledge of the Oilers' unforgettable past, his Oil Country arrivals took on a whole new meaning.
"When I went back up to Edmonton, it was emotional," he explained. "I'd get up on stage and start tearing-up as I talked about Gretzky and what the Oilers had accomplished. Gretzky leaves (August, 1988), but they come back and win another Stanley Cup. It's a story worth telling for generations.
"In the beginning, it only took them a couple years to win a Stanley Cup. It's impressive no matter how you slice it. Slats (Glen Sather, Oilers Head Coach at the time) took a bunch of kids and said, 'Get creative with that puck!' and that's all he did to help build that team into a champion."
Smith's love for the Oilers brought him to Rexall Place in 2009. It was there where he could bask in the team's past success and revel in the Oilers' unmatched and world-renowned in-game atmosphere.
"Going to a game at Rexall Place was incredible," he said. "It was like going to church; it was reverend, it was fervent. You've got to understand, I'm used to watching hockey on the east coast and, generally speaking, you don't see that kind of enthusiasm for a game.
"For me it's a win-win," Smith added. "I get to go up there and re-charge my spiritual batteries. Something special happened there in the mid-80s and you don't see that every day. Magic happened there.
"[Edmonton] was put on the map by that team. Oil Country and the Oilers have an unbreakable relationship; more so that most cities have. The Oilers have helped build the city's makeup, too. It's the City of Champions for a reason."
Fearing that he may have had an impact on the Oilers' recent run of success, Smith is keeping his zealous orange and blue declaration quieter than in year's past.
"This year I've kept everything on the down-low," he laughed. "I've been keeping my mouth shut this year and they're doing well. They've struggled in the past when I've proclaimed my love.
"Maybe I'm crazy."
Smith couldn't help but show his enthusiasm for the team's strong start. At 7-2-2, the Oilers have climbed to No. 1 in the NHL's Northwest Division and have gained semblance as an up-tempo, in-your-face squad, to which the 41-year-old screenwriter has grown to admire.
"They've got the youth blood in them right now and the wisdom, experience and heart with players like Ryan Smyth. There's no need to be critiquing the team's success to no end. Have fun with the run, because it's so rare in sports.
"The team is poised, really poised to make some strong headway this year," he added. "Maybe we'll see the post-season this year, too. It'll happen, no doubt, so long as they play at this level through 82 games."
Before the Oilers, Devils and any of the league's other 28 teams, Smith is a passionate supporter of the game in its purest form. Like the most genuine of players, owners, managers, fans and so on, he wants the sport's legacy to be passed down so that others can experience what the NHL is all about.
"Hockey is something I really admire – something I really dig. The game is so important and bigger than any one person. The onus is on fans and players to keep that going and share the game's magic with someone else."

Times change.
By Congressman Robert Hurt
The Virginia General Assembly is up and running for 2011, and we are gearing up for a "short" session that will deal with major issues. General Assembly sessions held in odd-numbered years are called "short" because they have two fewer weeks than the 60-day sessions held in even-numbered years. This year's session is scheduled to end on February 26.
"Pretty soon we're not going to be able to find reasonable, decent people willing to subject themselves to serve in public office."
Those were the words of Pima County, Arizona, Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, after the awful shooting in his state that killed six people and almost killed a Democratic Congresswoman.
Once again, "Democrats" did not do well in an election.
Cutting costs
If there's anything good about the struggling economy over the past few years, it's that government is learning to operate with fewer dollars. It's no longer business as usual and those who spend taxpayers' dollars are having to learn to do more with less. In many cases that has meant thinking outside of the box.
For nearly two years Candice Cooper and her husband Steve Schroeder poured their hearts, soul and sweat into renovating a building to open their restaurant.

Election of Benefits
If you are not planning to use the Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33) now, you do not need to make your election immediately but should wait until closer to the time in which you wish to use Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits.
Benefit Comparison Tools
For many eligible participants, the Post-9/11 GI Bill is a better solution than other education benefit programs, such as the Montgomery GI Bill - Active Duty, Montgomery GI Bill - Selected Reserve and the Reserve Education Assistance Program (REAP.) However, this decision depends on several factors, including the type of education or training you plan to take and the amount of benefits received under each program. The following comparison tools may help you in making your decision.
