I had not been paying much attention to NHPCO's flurry of activity during March regarding prognosis vs. diagnosis until I received an email from a well-respected hospice CEO that said, in part:
"Our Medical Director is livid and is adamant that what 'influences' the prognosis is very different from what is "related to" the prognosis. This seems like a fundamental shift from what we have been doing for thirty years - is it possible that everyone (including NHPCO) has been so wrong about this? We think we have financial challenges now - just wait!"
Needless to say, that email caught my attention and I delved further. That CEO has good reason to be worried and to question.
To summarize NHPCO's position:
- Hospice providers must reframe how they characterize patients and shift from a single diagnosis to a more comprehensive view that utilizes all diagnoses and conditions that contribute to each patient's terminal prognosis.
- In making this shift, providers need to ask the question "Does this diagnosis or condition contribute to or influence the patient's terminal prognosis?" If the answer to the question is yes, it becomes the hospice's responsibility (including financial).
In other words, NHPCO has adopted CMS' non-regulatory contention from the preamble to the first hospice regulations in 1983 (raise your hand if you read that preamble or any other in your life!) that "it is our general view that hospices are required to provide virtually all the care that is needed by terminally ill patients" and their further statement that "unless there is clear evidence that a condition is unrelated to the terminal prognosis, all services will be considered related."
That preamble ramble had not resurfaced until 2013 when the whole Part D brouhaha (love that word) reared its ugly head. As I recall at the time, NHPCO was pretty upset with the "virtually all" statement and CMS' renewed emphasis on this 30-year-old non-regulatory statement as justification for slamming the hospice industry on Part D payments.
I don't know what changed, but NHPCO gives three reasons for why hospices need to adhere to this cultural shift or "new paradigm" of how hospices should characterize, think about, document and pay for hospice patients:
- This is nothing new, the emphasis has always been on prognosis;
- If hospices don't do this it is likely CMS will subject the industry to even more draconian measures; and
- It is the right thing to do.
Let's unpack/discuss each of these reasons.
1. This is nothing new, the emphasis has always been on prognosis
Not really. Yes, the hospice statute and regulatory text defines hospice eligibility as a patient having a terminal prognosis of 6 months or less. And yes, CMS can pull its relatedness statements out of a 30-year-old non-regulatory preamble to the original hospice regulations and restate it in 2013 as proof it has always been this way.
But it begs the question - Why wasn't this an issue for CMS 20 years ago? 10 years ago? Even 5 years ago? Could it be that since hospice is no longer "budget dust" (although when you consider the total budget it still pretty much is), CMS needs to revive the old thinking that maybe made sense in 1983 but hardly makes sense or is even feasible today? CMS needs to protect the Medicare Trust Fund - that is its job. But, unfortunately, like most insurance companies, it wants to pay for as little as possible.
Back to the issue at hand, the hospice industry has pretty much forever focussed on the patient's terminal diagnosis, his or her terminal illness. Hospices have not done this capriciously nor to narrow their scope of responsibility. Rather, there is very clear regulatory text to support the focus on the patient's terminal illness/diagnosis. In 418.22(b) regarding the content of the certification of terminal illness, it states:
(b) Content of certification. Certification will be based on the physician's or medical director's clinical judgment regarding the normal course of the individual's illness. The certification must conform to the following requirements: (1) The certification must specify that the individual's prognosis is for a life expectancy of 6 months or less if the terminal illness runs its normal course. (emphasis added)
It does not say here "terminal illnesses" (i.e., plural) or "terminal illness and co-morbid conditions" or "terminal illnesses and EVERYTHING ELSE THAT COULD POSSIBLY INFLUENCE IT."
One of NHPCO's talking points states:
"Over decades of practice in our field, some hospice programs have tended to characterize their responsibility to patients by a single diagnosis, as evidenced on Medicare claim forms."
I would suggest that rather than "some" hospice programs it is more likely most, if not all, hospice programs have focused on a single or principal hospice diagnosis. I would further suggest that this single diagnosis focus has been in response to dealing with LMRP/LCD guidelines, industry teaching, and nobody telling hospices, until now, that they were supposed to focus on prognosis and EVERYTHING, instead of just the patient's terminal illness.
So no, it has not always been this way. Neither CMS nor NHPCO can all of a sudden say "Hey, we told you thirty years ago what you were supposed to do and even though we never cared that you didn't do it before, you had better do it now or...." Good segue to the next point...
2. If we don't do this now, it will be worse later
Apparently NHPCO is having/has had a lot of intense conversations with CMS and CMS is pleased with the "proactive" efforts of the hospice industry with regard to the prognosis issue. I don't know what they are saying but it sounds as if CMS is threatening worse things if the industry does not fix this issue. Don Schumacher said in his March 5th message:
"Let me be very clear here, by being more proactive with regards to hospice's responsibility, we are likely to avoid CMS implementing more draconian changes, changes that might be far more challenging for us to deal with."
At least there is an implicit acknowledgement that what NHPCO is advocating is "draconian" although less so than what CMS might have in store for hospices. It sounds like a threat and/or a promise. I don't know where to go with that but I do know that threats can be infantilizing and demoralizing.
3. It is the right thing to do
I saved this one for last because it is the big elephant in the room. First, however, hospices do not need to be "shamed" into doing the right thing. There are very very few hospices that are not out there everyday wanting and trying to do the right thing - with limited resources and intense scrutiny.
But to discuss this further, we may need to harken back to the 90s and question what "it" is. If "it" is taking care of the whole patient and everything the patient needs to ensure safe, effective and comfortable end of life care then yes, of course, that is the right thing to do. If "it" is focusing on everything that could possibly "influence" or "contribute" to a patient's terminal prognosis, in order to broaden the scope of the hospice's financial responsibility, it is very, very questionable if that is the right thing to do and if it is even feasible.
The elephant in the room here is how are hospices supposed to afford this significant paradigm shift from diagnosis to the all-inclusive prognosis? NHPCO simply states: "Yes this is likely to increase our responsibilities in a number of ways, but it is the right thing to do." That may be the understatement of the year with regard to the financial implications of this shift.
When the Medicare Hospice Benefit was conceived in the early 80s, most hospice patients had a primary diagnosis of cancer with a relatively predictable disease trajectory and relatedness determinations were more straightforward. As hospice has evolved over the years, hospice has broadened access to patients with more complex terminal diagnoses, disease trajectories and needs. What CMS and NHPCO are saying, essentially, is that not only do hospices have to provide patients with everything already included in the Medicare Hospice Benefit, but hospices need to accept full financial responsibility for everything that contributes to or influences (and is therefore related) to the patient's terminal prognosis and that, with few exceptions, everything is related. I am not an economist and I don't know what the per diem for routine home care was back in the 80s in terms of today's dollars. I do know that the hospice CEO who sent me that email gets less than $140/day to provide everything for patients cared for by their rural hospice. I also know that most hospices have slim margins, have already been trying to survive with reimbursement cuts and are barely making it. This will likely be an administrative, financial, clinical and compliance nightmare for most hospice programs.
The way it was supposed to work with the Medicare Hospice Benefit's fixed, per day, per level of care, prospective payment structure was that costs would be spread across a hospice's entire patient population so that "expensive" patients could be mitigated by "less expensive" patients. That does not work anymore and hasn't for a long time. First, with this new paradigm, all patients are likely to be expensive patients. Second, it used to be that longer length of stay patients could help spread the costs but in recent years, hospices have been subjected to unprecedented scrutiny for patients with a length of stay close to or longer than 180 days. The message, loud and clear, is hospices better not have long length of stay patients.
Increasingly, hospices are in a no win situation because the Medicare Hospice Benefit was designed in the 1980s and does not work in 2015. To wit:
- No other part of the health care continuum is required to provide bereavement services with no reimbursement;
- No other part of the health care continuum is required to recruit, train and manage enough volunteers to provide at least 5% of patient care hours;
- No other part of the health care continuum is required to meet professional management responsibilities that include the virtually impossible task of maintaining control of a patient's plan of care even when the patient is being cared for in an entirely unrelated institution like a hospital or nursing home;
- No other part of the health care continuum is required to maintain a sufficient number of employees to provide 24 hour care in a patient's home in the event that maybe a patient will need it rather than contract for additional help when needed; and
- No other part of the health care continuum is required to pay for everything possibly related to a patient's prognosis out of a meager per diem payment.
I am not advocating throwing the baby out with the bath water. Rather, doesn't it seem like energy and resources would be better spent advocating for a revised Medicare Hospice Benefit that makes sense for the financial and clinical realities of 2015? Evidence suggests that mandated hospice payment reform is likely to increase provider burdens, and not do much or anything to address the aspects of the Medicare Hospice Benefit that make the provision of hospice care inordinately and unnecessarily complicated and impractical.
Is this focus on an all-inclusive prognosis another (or final) nail in the hospice coffin for many smaller hospice programs? Is the hospice industry -- as we have known and loved it -- on track go the way of the nursing home and funeral industries: consisting predominantly of large, for-profit chains because they are the only ones that can afford to exist?
Anyone out there?

Late Effects After Cancer
"Psychosocial Interventions for Cancer Survivors, Caregivers and Family Members—One Size Does Not Fit All: My Perspective as a Young Adult Survivor, Advocate and Oncology Social Worker" a personal reflection by Mary Grace Bontempo
Support Program Facilitator, Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson University
As a young adult survivor of head and neck cancer, an oncology social worker, and a cancer survivorship advocate, it was with great interest and enthusiasm that I participated in the first Survivor-Researcher Mentor Program of the Survivorship Conference: Pathways to Health After Treatment. Co-sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society, this meeting brought together leading minds in the field of survivorship science, survivors, caregivers, and advocates. Plenary sessions, breakout sessions, and poster presentations featured the emerging science and research in cancer survivorship. Topics included, but were not limited to, late effects of cancer and its treatment, interventions to address them, understudied populations, and national priorities in addressing cancer survivorship. The Lance Armstrong Foundation made it possible for 20 (including myself) survivors, caregivers, or advocates to attend this conference as part of the Survivor-Researcher Mentor Program, enabling us to interact with and learn from leaders in the survivorship field. In turn, the mentors had the opportunity to learn about the participants' experiences as survivors, advocates, caregivers, and health professionals. It was a unique and enlightening experience.
As an 8-year survivor of head and neck cancer, oncology social worker, and cancer advocate, I have experienced firsthand or through my work with patients many of the challenges and psychosocial issues that survivors confront. Grief, anxiety, depression, altered body image, fears of recurrence or second malignancies, and losses in terms of previous life roles and aspirations are just some of these, and can create significant distress. Psychological distress was highlighted in the conference breakout session that I attended, as well as several of the poster presentations and the President's Cancer Panel 2003 Annual Report. A common theme underlying all of these is that it is important not just that survivors live, but how they live. Quality of life in survivorship is of great significance. As many presenters illustrated, supportive interventions and support groups are effective and often essential tools for easing psychological distress. In her study of psychological interventions for breast cancer patients in the re-entry phase, Annette L. Stanton, Ph.D., from UCLA, stressed that "one size does not fit all" and that the effects of interventions vary as a function of the characteristics of the participant. Further research should be undertaken to focus interventions on those most in need and to tailor the content to the specific characteristics of the individuals to whom they are geared.
Several poster presentations echoed this theme of tailoring specific interventions to the characteristics of those they intend to serve. One by Anne E. Kazak, Ph.D., of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, on the treatment of post-traumatic stress symptoms in adolescent survivors of childhood cancer highlighted the need for innovative models of intervention that both reduce symptoms and promote resiliency and competency. Another by Lora Rhodes of the Kimmel Cancer Center illustrated the promise of one-on-one peer support as an alternative to traditional support groups for those who otherwise could not or would not participate in such groups. In addition to improving social and emotional quality of life in participants, this intervention also proved to be as acceptable or even more acceptable to men, a trend not usually seen in traditional support groups.
Another poster presented the efficacy of a telephone-based expressive writing program for spouse/partner caregivers of hematopoietic stem cell transplant survivors. This group often reports significant social constraint, as well as a reluctance to share their own feelings at a time when most medical and psychosocial attention is focused on the survivor. The expressive writing intervention was designed with these caregiver characteristics in consideration, and thus provided a feasible and comfortable outlet for thoughts and feelings without social constraints, as well as a few moments devoted to their own needs—time which they had previously been reluctant to create for themselves. This poster, as well as the others mentioned and several others not discussed, all reflect the importance of targeting the intervention to the specific characteristics and needs of those it is meant to serve. As we develop and implement supportive interventions and programs, it is essential to bear in mind that "one size does not fit all."
This notion of designing supports tailored to the specific needs, concerns, and characteristics of the recipients also relates, in my opinion, to the idea of understudied populations—specifically, the population of young adult survivors. While I truly believe that cancer survivors from across the life span equally deserve research, attention, and supportive interventions, it does not seem that the young adult survivor population has received as much focus as it might. While it was encouraging to see that several of the sessions and posters at this conference addressed the "orphaned cohort," these presentations largely focused on young adult survivors of childhood cancers. Research and information on those actually diagnosed as young adults, roughly between the ages of 18-35, was less prevalent. At a time when most are attending college or graduate school; establishing new careers, relationships and independence; buying homes; starting families, etc.; a cancer diagnosis proves to be an abrupt interruption that thrusts the young adult into a tumultuous and unfamiliar world that brings numerous concerns. Some of these include acute and long-term effects; fear of recurrence or death; depression; altered self-esteem; fertility; dating and relationships; and difficulty obtaining health and life insurance, employment, and adequate follow-up surveillance. While some of these concerns overlap with those of others across the life span, many of the challenges are specific to this age group and assistance is often needed in navigating the foreign territory of cancer diagnosis and survivorship.
Over the past 10 years, awareness of the unique concerns facing young adult survivors has gradually been brought to the forefront thanks to the dedication and success of organizations such as The Lance Armstrong Foundation, the Ulman Fund for Young Adults, Planet Cancer, Vital Options International, the Young Survival Coalition and Fertile Hope. Still, though, more can be done to heighten awareness and develop supportive interventions and programs, particularly at the institutional and community levels. Sometimes it takes connection to a program or person in the center or community in which a young adult is being treated for him or her to learn about helpful organizations such as these. Programs and services directly geared toward the specific needs of young adult survivors should be available at health care institutions and community levels, serving as first-line supports and liaisons to the other essential organizations that I have mentioned above. As a young adult survivor, advocate, and oncology social worker, I plan to continue to develop, support, and encourage such programs and supportive interventions within my own institution and community to continue to address and heighten awareness of the unique needs and challenges confronted by those diagnosed with cancer as young adults.

Marquis to do bike tour for Spaghetti Arms
Indie-folk artist Brian Marquis will participate in a charity bike ride throughout New England to raise awareness for Spaghetti Arms based in New Milford.
The organization raises awareness and supports research to end Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
The "Bike & A Mic For a Cure Tour" will begin Sept. 15 in Hamden and conclude Oct. 3 in New Milford.
The 1,200-mile journey will feature music by Marquis and other performers - among them, the Amphibious man, Sam Coutts, Xavier Simmons and Captain Ishmael and the Sound Avengers - at various locations.
"I have become close to this organization over the past four years and wanted to find a way to help their cause while changing up the standard way I've been touring over the years in order to share music and conversation in a different way," Marquis said.
Performances will be held Sept. 15 at The Space in Hamden, Sept. 17 at the Throne Watches in Brooklyn, N.Y., Sept. 19 at Jack's Place in Albany, Sept. 22 at The Monkey House in Winosski, Vt., Sept. 25 in Bridgewater, N.Y., Sept. 27 at One Longfellow Square in Portland, Maine, Sept. 29 at Café 939 in Boston, Oct. 1 at One Bar & Grill in Northampton, Mass., Oct. 2 at The Met in Providence, R.I., and Oct. 3 at 6 p.m., with music at 7 p.m., the Odd Fellow's Hall in New Milford.
The New Milford show will feature Marquis, The Amphibious Man and Captain Ishmael.
Sean Quigg, who founded Spaghetti Arms in 2011, recalls meeting Marquis at the Scranton, Penn., stop of the 2012 Vans Warped Tour.
Quigg's Spaghetti Arms' tent was next to the Acoustic Basement stage tent Marquis headed up.
Severe thunderstorms "pummeled" the Spaghetti Arms tent, thus Quigg and friends had to seek refuge under Marquis' tent.
"Since then, Brian has been a full-time supporter of Spaghetti Arms' mission, ultimately leading to the idea for this bike tour to end Duchenne that I couldn't be more excited about," Quigg said.
Marquis recently wrapped up the 2015 Vans Warped Tour, where he performed daily in the Acoustic Basement Tent in support of his new release, "I Miss The 90's EP."
Prior to the two-month run throughout North America, Marquis performed on a string of sold out dates supporting The Dear Hunter and Northern Faces.
Marquis will donate all profits to Spaghetti Arms.

Where to start ....
1. I guess I will share with you in chronological order. The first week that I was scarce in the blogosphere was taken up with numerous trips to Hobby Lobby and Wal-Mart laying in supplies for the BIG DAY. Then all day Friday and up until 5:30 p.m. Saturday saw me running up and down the stairs at my church decorating and helping with the dinner for the reception. Elissa was a very big help with decorating, along with Daniel and Janae. Daniel, having just finished basic training, could move tables all by himself! Daniel's grandparents, aunts and uncle along with his mom did the cooking. Jim and I were the "go-fers!"
Janae is not a frilly person at all, so she opted for simple decor.
My 3 Daughters
Daniel and Janae
Jim, Daniel, Janae & Jerri
Everything turned out very well. We had approximately 95 people stay for the reception. We had plenty of food. Daniel's grandpa made excellent chicken and dumplings and everyone loved them.
I have to compliment my kids - what other newly married couple would stay afterward and help clean up? Daniel and Janae did!
3. The next weekend we headed to Oklahoma with Daniel's mom and stepdad to take the kids their furniture. I'd never been to Oklahoma before. It was very windy! But I also got to see some great scenery. Here's just a few photos:
Daniel and Janae on top of Wichita Mountain.
Jim, Janae, Daniel and Me at Medicine Park, OK, by a waterfall.
I had some great photos - like the inside of this charming little chapel. A wedding ceremony was about to take place after I snapped this picture:
I would have hated to lose this photo!

Once in a week I will post the stuff that amazed and delights me. Will do it on Sundays.
Today we have the story from London. When leaving the carriage underground I saw at the platform the huge showcase with sketched human faces. I was sticked to it. And here what I found out.
The London underground sponsors the "Art on the Underground" program, presenting "best contemporary art for the World class tube". Site link, please press.
Later, at home, I found the art of that station, which impressed me so much. Artist Dryden Goodwin is sketching the personnel of the tube, while people talking about their life on the tube (The link to the short subtitled videos is here).
Such an experience to see the artist at work, such an experience to hear human stories.

Gujarat step wells or baolis are strange and unique and the Dada Hari Well built in 1499 is a magnificent masterpiece representing the typical Gujarati style of architecture Entirely underground, they were built to overcome heat and dust. Behind the well is the tomb of Dada Hari. Northern Gujarat abounds in remarkable step-wells, with elaborately carved walls and broad flights of covered steps leading to the shaft.
Dada Harini Vav, in the northwest of the city, is one of the finest. While it is a Muslim construction, built in 1500 for Bai Harir Sultani, superintendent of the royal harem, the craftsmen were Hindu and their influence is clear in the lavish and sensuous carvings on the walls and pillars. A lady of Sultan Mahmud Begara court built one such step well in 1501.
It is a fascinating place, though has signs of neglect today. It has a series of steps leading down to lower platforms terminating at a small, octagonal well. The depths of the well are cool, even on the hottest day, and it must once have been quite beautiful.

A production company has requested permission to shoot "Snooki & JWoww" in Morristown over the next few months, Morristown Clerk Matthew Stechauner said. The request has been passed along to several entities, including the Morristown Police Department, the town's Special Improvement District and its parking authority.
"We wait for everyone to essentially give their input, then the administration makes a decision based on some consensus," Stechauner said.
Council President Michelle Dupree-Harris says she's all for it.
"It would be exciting. I think all the teenagers would love it," she said. "I love JWoww (Jenni Farley)."
Dupree-Harris said so long as the shoot is done responsibly — with proper police coverage, insurance in place and so forth — the celebrities could bring a lot of positive attention to Morristown.
"The restaurants would be packed, the stores would be shopped at. It would be great," she said.
Morris County is strongly represented in reality television. It's home to "Real Housewives of New Jersey" stars Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga, "Jerseylicious' hairstylist Olivia Blois Sharpe, and "So You Think You Can Dance" finalist Amelia Lowe. Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi recently moved to East Hanover, and will be signing copies of her latest book at the East Hanover Costco Saturday.
"Snooki & JWoww," premiered on June 21. It's executive producer, 495 Productions, is also the force behind "Jersey Shore," which made the pair famous.

Hands down - this is the best acne trio I have EVER used. Several months ago, I had stress related acne with the occasional pillow discomfort while sleeping. A friend suggested trying the trio and of course after finding it comical, I caved and bought all three products to receive the full experience.
Not only did my acne slowly disappear, but aside from the whitehead or two around my "lady days"...I eventually didn't have to wear foundation to cover a nasty zit.
Any scarring I had, disappeared. I recently purchased my next go round with the products...I probably will never change my routine again!
For traveling beauty week, this is the best product to have on hand - well - in your bag while you travel. (Remember, this is too much liquid for carry on the plane, so make sure you check this.)
See you next time,
Happy Shopping!

text: Hi there all, I've recently entered the field of Affiliate marketing with Google's Adwords service. While learning the "trick of the trade" I've managed to get my most profitable accounts banned. I've read many of the postings here regarding creating new adwords accounts, and have tried them. I must admit I've failed almost all attempts. I've tried using VPSs for different IPs on various locations, new CC, new name and address - even successfully verified the CC but it seem that something is still triggering alerts for those accounts and they get to review process and eventually closed. (I've of course managed all the small details: Cookies, History, different Emails, Host, landing pages, etc...) I'd really appreciate any tip or suggestion as to how to create new accounts. P.S Does buying already activated accounts really work? isn't changing IP, CC and email on such accounts also trigger review? Thanks!

text: hello all I just ordered a 13" MBA and am very excited to use it. I've always been a desktop user and this is going to be my first laptop. I was wondering the best way to preserve the battery and battery usage. I'm going to have my MBA at my work station a lot and was wondering should I always keep the MBA plugged in and charging when I'm at work or is it better to let the battery drain and then recharge it when its empty. Or maybe it doesnt matter either way. Also is it like other laptops where the computers performance is better when its plugged into the wall, or does the MBA work the same regardless if its plugged in or not? Thanks!

Book Review: Every Nation for Itself
Click to Print This Page
The daily headlines of financial stress and possible disaster in the eurozone are a graphic scene of a breakdown in the European countries' ability to come together in a solution. Some see the same type of political paralysis and institutional dysfunction in the failure of the US Congress to address our fiscal debt challenge. The full parameters and impact of this increasingly fragmented world is spelled out in Ian Bremmer's new book, Every Nation for Itself: Winners and Losers in a G-Zero World.
The "G-Zero World" that Bremmer describes is "a world order in which no single country or durable alliance of countries can meet the challenge of global leadership." The G7 and G20 groups are viewed as ineffective. We are in a period of uncertain transition, in which "for the first time in several decades, we live in a world without global leadership." The result is more volatility, uncertainty, turbulence, anxiety, and risk for investors.
Bremmer does a thorough job of analyzing each country's current position. The US' role as leader is being constrained by its fiscal debt. The most obvious challenge to America's role is China. However, China is absorbed with its internal challenges, and has little interest in seeking a dominant global leadership position. The countries most affected by the lack of global leadership are Japan and Israel. Countries with the ability to "pivot" to adapt include Brazil and Turkey.
A provocative conclusion is "Asian conflict will be the biggest global hazard in the years ahead." Asian countries look to China for markets and finance, and to the US for military security. This region includes three powerful countries— China, India, and Japan—which have independent agendas. Since many investors and companies look to Asia for growth, the possibility of regional political unrest is an added dimension to risk assessment.
In this world of increased risk, who will be the winners? Bremmer concludes they will be "well-well managed and well-positioned state-owned enterprises, politically loyal national champions, favored banks, and sovereign wealth funds." In the US this should be a big business boost for political lobbyists. For financial professionals, degrees and courses in international relations will be a career plus. Careers in the State Department and the intelligence agencies should be a good resume experience for the job hunter.
Bremmer describes his book as about "that historic shift and the tremendous challenges and opportunities it will create—for the global economy, for relations between the world's most powerful governments, and for the world's ability to cope with a variety of what we might call 'problems without borders.'" In forecasting the future, Bremmer presents a series of scenarios which shows the uncertainties for investors. However, this has always been the case in the financial business—only some will come out big winners. Ian Bremmer's Every Nation For Itself is a way to start to prepare to be one yourself.

If you find yourself at a Fry's in California, you might see one of these handsome Maker Shed kiosks. The Make team did a great job coming up with an attractive kiosk that took up just 4 square feet of floor space.
Gareth writes: "We think this is big news, not only for Maker Media, but for all indie makers -- a major retail chain is now giving small kit-makers this level of exposure. And, we think it's particularly cool that we designed and built these kiosks in-house, and even personally delivered them to the stores! What other publisher could claim that?"

Rianna Gayheart, a 2012 graduate of Owen County High School, was recently named Northern Kentucky University's Female Freshman Athlete of the Year at the NKU athletic banquet. The award was only awarded to one freshman female and one freshman male from all of the sports teams. Gayheart was awarded NKU Athlete of the Week on three separate occasions this year, as well as A-Sun Newcomer of the Week twice and A-Sun All Freshman Team.
If only they could have saved some of those runs …
On April 29, the Owen County High School girls softball scored 13 runs in a win at Henry County.
The 13-8 victory was the team's second straight after beating Shelby County High School the week before.
In the two wins, the Lady Rebels scored 22 total runs.
They could have used some of those runs later in the week.
On Tuesday, the team traveled to Frankfort to take on Western Hills High School. The Lady Wolverines is a team playing well at this point in the season.
Saturday, April 27
The results of the Boys NCKC Track Championship Saturday at Henry County High School couldn't have been any closer with three teams finished within one point of each other.
Kentucky Country Day won the meet by one point over both Owen County and Henry County high schools.
The Rebels had some outstanding individual performances in the meet.
Paul Banks won the 100-meter dash with Ian Oaks finishing second.
Collin Trammel captured the 200-meter dash.
Hunter Trenary finished first in the 3200-meter run.
The Owen County High School girls track team competed in a pair of meets last week. They would finish fifth in both the Scott County All-Comers Meet and the NCKC championships.
On April 30, the team traveled to Georgetown for the Scott County All-Comers Meet.
In the 100-meter dash, it was Haley DeCandia, 16th; Amber Gover, 22nd; Andi Burford, 23rd; Nicole Jacobs, 37th; Samantha Tamplin, 41st; and Helena Kramer, 48th.
For the 200-meter dash, Gover finished 11th; DeCandia, 16th; Burford, 21st; Paula Rivera, 22nd; and Veronica Chisholm, 28th.
The Owen County High School baseball team is on the wrong kind of roll.
From April 8 through April 23, the Rebels didn't lose a game and won nine-straight contests.
Since then, they have dropped eight in a row.
Last week began with a trip to Walton-Verona to take on the Bearcats.
Despite scoring seven runs, Owen County still lost 13-7.
The seven runs are the most the team has scored and still lost during the current streak.
David Gray, son of Eric and Jenna Gray of Wheatley, was recently selected for the 2013 seventh-grade offensive line of the Kentucky Future Stars team. He will report to Lindsay Wilson College in June for a week of training and practice. The Kentucky vs. Tennessee game will be held in Knoxville, Tenn. on June 15. David Gray is the first seventh-grader from Owen County to be selected for this team, following in the footsteps of Michael Wash, who was selected and played on the eighth-grade Kentucky Future Stars team in 2011.
Charlotte Wethington wants to spare Owen County families the suffering she has endured.
"I was uninformed and then misinformed and that was a deadly combination for my son," Wethington told a group of 180 concerned citizens at Thursday's drug forum, hosted by the Owen County Community Health Collaborative.
Wethington lost her son Casey to a heroin overdose over 10 years ago, but had she not been steered away from intervening, she feels Casey could still be here today.
Owenton Police Officer Steve Miller didn't quite know what was going on when he heard the first KABOOM.
At about 6 p.m. on April 23, Miller was in the parking lot of Save-A-Lot when he heard the boom and debris began to rain down on his cruiser.
"When I got out to investigate, another explosion occurred," Miller said in his report. "I called for another officer to assist and did not know what I was dealing with."
Miller began to investigate and found pieces of two-liter soda bottles around the parking lot.

Kings defenseman Willie Mitchell has played 719 regular-season games, making his NHL debut with the New Jersey Devils in 2000 and appearing in his first playoff game in 2003 with the Minnesota Wild.
Mitchell, one of the most accommodating and affable players in the league, was trying to keep a tight rein on his feelings in the hours before Game 4 on Wednesday night.
"It's a lot of emotion, and not trying to get away from it, to be honest, but it's only human nature," he said, chatting with a small group of reporters after the morning skate. "On the off day, you just think about the long journey. You think about when you started hockey at age 3 or 4, moving away from home at the age of 15 to pursue a career in the National Hockey League, that was the ultimate. And win a Stanley Cup."
He used the words "pretty surreal" to describe the Kings' run.
A concussion threatened Mitchell's career as recently as two years ago when he was with the Vancouver Canucks. He couldn't read or drive his car and retreated to his cabin in remote British Columbia to recover and escape from questions about his future.

AT&T Drops Plan To Merge With T-Mobile
Faced with an expensive fight, AT&T has abandoned its attempt to merge with T-Mobile. Instead of completing the $39 billion deal, AT&T will pay Deutsche Telecom a $4 billion breach of contract fee. More here from Telecoms Europe. It will also continue to work with Deutsche Telecom through a roaming arrangement for its customers. A statement from AT&T chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson cited problems with the FCC and DOJ as reasons for failure to complete the deal.
Said representatives of the Department of Justice in part:
"This result is a victory for the millions of Americans who use mobile wireless telecommunications services. A significant competitor remains in the marketplace and consumers will benefit from a quick resolution of this matter without the unnecessary expense of taxpayer money and government resources."
Here's a linkto the Department of Justice news release.

Shine aluminum by making a paste of water and cream of tartar and rubbing or brushing the paste onto the piece before washing it off with clean water. For some aluminium pieces, applying a special aluminum polish can provide a higher shine. However, aluminum polish is toxic and cannot be used on cookware, dinnerware or utensils from which anyone is going to eat or drink.
Make the cream of tartar paste by mixing some of the powder with enough water to make a thick but easily spreadable paste. Cream of tartar is one of the ingredients in baking powder, and is available from most supermarkets in the baking section. Do not use other household cleaning products such as baking soda, ammonia or bleach, as all of these substances can permanently discolor aluminum.
If the aluminum piece is very dirty or dull, use a toothbrush or cleaning brush with soft bristles to clean the problem areas. Because aluminum is a rather soft metal, using steel wool, scouring pads or metal brushes when cleaning can seriously damage the surface. For the same reason, do not use abrasive cleaning products such as scouring powder or borax on aluminum pieces.
Only clean and shine raw aluminum pieces. Anodized aluminum has a special coating that protects the metal, and it can come off with harsh cleaning.

David Beckham confirms he is quitting LA Galaxy in December
RUMOURS that David Beckham is on the move to Australia have intensified after the star confirmed he is leaving LA Galaxy in December.
Soccer's potential has no limits in this wonderful country, and I want to always be part of growing it.
In a statement, he said: "I've had an incredibly special time playing for the LA Galaxy, however, I wanted to experience one last challenge before the end of my playing career.
"I don't see this as the end of my relationship with Major League Soccer (MLS), as my ambition is to be part of the ownership structure in the future.
"In my time here, I have seen the popularity of the game grow every year.
"I've been fortunate to win trophies, but more important to me has been the fantastic reception I've had from fans in LA and across the States.
"Soccer's potential has no limits in this wonderful country, and I want to always be part of growing it."
MLS Commissioner Don Garber added: "When David Beckham signed with the LA Galaxy in 2007, he set out to help grow MLS and the sport of soccer in North America.
"There is no doubt that MLS is far more popular and important here and abroad than it was when he arrived.
"David has achieved great things on and off the field during his time with the Galaxy, and he will always be an important part of our history.
"We look forward to his continued involvement with the LA Galaxy and the league."
Becks has scored 18 goals in 102 appearances for Galaxy and his final game will be the MLS cup final on December 1.
Questions over his future remain.
Becks' camp denied a move to Australia over the weekend, and wife Victoria Beckham is said to favour a move to Paris so she can continue her fashion career.
The Beckham's were also rumoured to be looking to move to New York - where Becks was also linked to the New York Red Bulls.

DARTMOUTH — The Select Board voted unanimously Monday night to deny an application for a beer and wine sales license to Prestige Supermarket Express at 532 Russells Mills Road after more than a dozen residents of the neighborhood appeared at a public hearing opposing the license.
Owner Ronen Drory told Selectmen he was looking to add new product lines, especially kosher liquors, to try to save the struggling business.
"I have to try to make this place survive," said Mr. Drory, who purchased the market and gas station at auction more than a year ago. The expansion of grocery products offered by the market has not helped the store's bottom line improve, he indicated.
The limited local availability of kosher liquors made him seek the beer and wine license for the former Dairy Chief site, his attorney also suggested to the board. Although another liquor store is located nearby, another outlet offering similar products would offer area residents "the benefit of choice," said Attorney John Markey.
Without the liquor license and more revenues, the attorney said the business might fail, putting 10 full-time employees and up to 25 seasonal employees out of work.
Tucker Road resident Frank Gracie led a parade of neighborhood opponents to the license up to the microphone to speak against issuing the license at Monday's public hearing. "It's not the town's responsibility to help a business stay viable," he told Selectmen.
With another store, CV Liquors, located right next door, "I don't think we need this; I don't think we want this," Mr. Gracie said.
Padanaram Way resident Cathy Benjamin agreed, "It just doesn't make any sense" to have two liquor stores on adjacent properties. Former owner Chris Hemingway, who still owns CV Liquors next door, told the board he already offers kosher liquors, and sells quite a bit of those products to the local Jewish community.
Another resident suggested "a good butcher shop" would be a better alternative for potentially increasing sales.
Several residents and Selectmen Joseph Michaud voiced concerns about the large numbers of students from nearby Dartmouth High School who regularly visit the store, fearing they might get access to the alcohol on display.
The board has to consider both "the public need and the common good," he suggested, indicating he would not support the license request.
"Competition is a good thing," said Selectman Michael Watson, but he also felt he could not support the application.
A quick vote resulted in a 4-0 decision not to grant the license.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Today I want to share a simple way to a make rolled paper flower like this one on this card.First gather your materials. White glue, quilling paper strips, quilling needle or a pen. My quilling strips are usually A4 length which is quite long for this type of flower so I cut the strips in half.
Apply a tiny spot of glue to the end of a strip.
Next roll the paper around the handle of the quilling needle or pen or whichever round object you are using such that the spot of glue will hold to the rest of the strip like so,
proceed to roll the rest of the paper and add another spot of glue at the end so that the coil will not unroll.
Remove the coil carefully and set it aside for the glue to completely dry.
The size of your petals will be determined by the circumference of the object you are using to roll the paper. Thanks for reading and share link to your creation if you make a flower using this tutorial.

With threats from China looming large, India is set to increase its military flying in the Northeast as a large heliport will be operational in Tawang by September.
This will open up a new window for the Indian Air Force to enhance flying in areas close to the Sino-Indian border.
Not to be left behind, the Indian Army, too, will have a new aviation base in Assam to house a squadron of indigenous armed choppers.
An advanced landing ground (ALG) in the strategic Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh was to be completed by April, but was delayed by a few months with the new projected date of completion set for September 2017, sources told DH.
Though categorised as ALG, it would actually be a heliport as fixed-wing aircraft cannot operate from the monastery town because of its elevation and rarefied atmosphere.
The IAF may fly its Mi-series of Russian choppers as well as the indigenous advanced lightweight helicopters from Tawang.
In 2009, the Cabinet Committee of Security approved a Rs 1,000-crore IAF plan to upgrade eight existing ALGs under the Eastern Air Command. Those selected were Tuting, Mechuka, Along, Tawang, Ziro, Passighat, Walong and Vijaynagar in Arunachal Pradesh.
In the last year and a half, the IAF activated six of them – Walong, Ziro, Along, Tuting, Passighat and Mechuka – even as the seventh one at Tawang nears the finish line. The force has given up on Vijaynagar for the time being in the absence of connecting roads.
While Passighat is meant for fighter flying as well as a civil aviation base, five other ALGs would be used for transport aircraft operations, whereas Tawang can only handle the helicopters.
The army is coming up with it own aviation squadron in Assam's Likabali town, which will house the indigenous armed Rudra choppers. Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd handed over 22 of these gunships – armed version of the Dhruv advanced lightweight helicopters – to the army and eight to the IAF.
The Likabali base is also likely to be functional within a month or two in keeping with India's plan to improve military infrastructure in areas close to its disputed boundary with China. The army's first armed helicopter unit in the Northeast will have 10 aircraft.

I can't believe it's been 5 months since I started blogging! And since then, this place has grown and allowed to meet a lot of amazing people. Thanks to you, I have been able to talk about the things I care about, recommend the books I love, and even write a whole book!! It has been amazing spending this time with you.
So what does the new year have in stock for this blog? You can look forward to SirenSong's cover reveal very, very soon! The novel itself will go out sometime in January, depending on whether—unlike December—I get enough time off to edit and proofread. Before that, though, I will be revealing little bits and pieces, the first of which will be the full prologue! You can also look forward to character portraits for each and every one of the seven main characters, as drawn by the amazing Hellyon White.
I have also decided to focus more on book reviews on 2017. There are so many amazing books I want to tell you about! And they won't be just written reviews—you can look forward to some video reviews as well.
That is all for now. All that's left to say is…

Japan Day 2014 look place this past Sunday in sunny Central Park. I'd heard about this culture event previously and was glad I had the opportunity to go this year. My friend L. recommended JERO, who is an enka style (a traditional Japanese genre) performer and well beloved in Japan. Below is a pic of the stage where JERO performed enka style songs. I loved his outfit, his vocal chops, and his overall performance. You can read more about him here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jero.
Other festivities included food stands, activity stands such as origami, calligraphy, and kabuki facepainting. I mostly looked at the stage performances: Taiko drumming, fashion show, JERO, and an audience participation dance number by AK848 called something Fortune Cookie. Not quite the macarena or gangnam style but still an international sensation.
Selected photos from my walk around the park. Say hello to Shakespeare.
I've always wanted to try the model boat. Aren't they pretty? The reflections came out perfectly.
The red floor near Bethesda Fountain contrasts well with the green trees.

I was looking for a job after my final year exams of graduation and I had a glance on the newspaper with the job title "Trainee SEO". I had a limited concept of blogging and its promotion so I applied it there. There I was appointed as an "SEO writer" because they found my writing skills satisfactory. Here I have been trained to write search engine friendly content including sales copy, articles, blog posts, press-releases and learned many aspect of off-page optimization. I have been visiting this forum for the couple of months and it has really helped me increase my knowledge regarding Internet Business and Marketing. I joined this forum on Saturday sitting at my office and hopefully looking forward to learn more and contribute as much as I can. Thanks and Regards

Here's the First Amendment, in full: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Those beautiful words, almost haiku-like, are the sparse poetry of the American democratic experiment. The Founders purposely wrote the First Amendment to read broadly, and not like a snippet of tax code, in order to emphasize that it should encompass everything from shouted religious rantings to eloquent political criticism. Go ahead, reread it aloud at this moment when the government seems to be carving out an exception to it large enough to drive a tank through.
As the occupiers of Zuccotti Park, like those pepper-sprayed at UC Davis or the Marine veteran shot in Oakland, recently found out, the government's ability to limit free speech, to stopper the First Amendment, to undercut the right to peaceably assemble and petition for redress of grievances, is perhaps the most critical issue our republic can face. If you were to write the history of the last decade in Washington, it might well be a story of how, issue by issue, the government freed itself from legal and constitutional bounds when it came to torture, the assassination of US citizens, the holding of prisoners without trial or access to a court of law, the illegal surveillance of American citizens and so on. In the process, it has entrenched itself in a comfortable shadowland of ever more impenetrable secrecy, while going after any whistleblower who might shine a light in.
Now, it also seems to be chipping away at the most basic American right of all, the right of free speech, starting with that of its own employees. As is often said, the easiest book to stop is the one that is never written; the easiest voice to staunch is the one that is never raised.
It's true that, over the years, government in its many forms has tried to claim that you lose your free speech rights when you, for example, work for a public school, or join the military. In dealing with school administrators who sought to silence a teacher for complaining publicly that not enough money was being spent on academics versus athletics, or generals who wanted to stop enlisted men and women from blogging, the courts have found that any loss of rights must be limited and specific. As Jim Webb wrote when still secretary of the Navy, "A citizen does not give up his First Amendment right to free speech when he puts on a military uniform, with small exceptions."

Internationl Group on Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colerectal Cancer. INT
Germline mutations in four DNA mismatch repair genes are known to cause susceptibility to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC).
The rapidly increasing information about these mutations needs to be collected and appropriately stored to facilitate further studies on the biological and clinical significance of the findings.
The International Collaborative Group on HNPCC has established a database of DNA mismatch repair gene mutations and polymorphisms.
In this report, 126 predisposing mutations were analyzed.
Majority of the mutations affected either the Mut L homologue (MLH) 1 (n=75) or the Mut S homologue (MSH) 2 (n=48) and were quite evenly distributed, with some clustering in MSH2 exon 12 and MLH1 exon 16.
Most MSH2 mutations consisted of frameshift (60%) or nonsense changes (23%), whereas MLH1 was mainly affected by frameshift (40%) or missense alterations (31%). Although most mutations were unique, a few common recurring mutations were identified.
Of the families studied (n=202), 82% met the Amsterdam criteria and 15% did not ; the general mutation profile was similar in both groups.
The construction of mutation profiles will facilitate the development of diagnostic strategies in HNPCC.

text: 'IT'S the best deal right now - believe me!"The United Airlines agent in New York City's crowded midtown ticket office was trying to explain to a bewildered customer just why buying a round trip New York-Chicago ticket 14 days in advance was actually $100 less than the usually cheaper 21-day advance fare. The reason was competition: a special promotional fare to spur slow winter traffic. The logic behind some discount air fares continues to elude many customers. But that's not stopping them. Price-conscious travelers are giving the airlines a run for their money. Though air passenger traffic is expected to be down 2 percent this year, a growing share of those who are flying - some 95 percent - now ferret out some kind of discount fare. The restrictions - advance purchase, little or no money back if plans change, a Saturday night stayover - often grate. Yet most flyers would rather put up with them than pay more. Many ticket buyers say they now persist until they are sure they have been told the lowest possible fares. m not nearly as interested in the date I travel as the rate I pay," says one Washington, D.C., woman. "We find that about half of our advance ticket buyers are not only willing but quite able to take advantage of the [deepest] 21-day discount," notes American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith, who says it is typically about one-third of the full coach fare. "Leisure travelers are booking further and further out." The prod to fly discount, for most passengers, is a combination of the recession and what they see as outlandish regular coach fares. Technically, such fares remained flat this year. Yet few passengers are willing to pay the standard round trip New York-Chicago fare of $838, a price that a few years ago took Chicagoans to Europe and back, or the round trip $500 fare between Boston and Washington. "When I hear one of those really wacko prices, I say, 'Gee, the airlines must not want people to fly very muc h, says one Bostonian. United Airlines spokeswoman Lynn Martenstein says a new interest among business travelers in taking advantage of the seven-day advance purchase fare is a key reason for recent discount fare growth. One New York professional who flies frequently to the Midwest says he buys his nonrefundable tickets well in advance. When his plans change, he says he can sometimes convince airline employees that filling an empty seat makes more sense economically than following rules to the letter. "I say, 'You inconvenience me when you cancel or delay flights - I have a right to change my plans too. The question of whether to fill empty seats by charging below-cost prices or keep prices at cost, leaving more seats empty, is a constant challenge for airlines. Experts say that newly refined software can closely track such rapidly changing prices and seat inventories, making frequent checks by travel agents and passengers worthwhile. "It's very possible to call an airline in some cases and get a deal," says Dan Smith, a consumer spokesman for the Texas-based International Airline Passengers Association . Though Continental Airlines just this week began adding $20 round trip on a number of discount fares, a move followed by other major airlines, most experts say discount fares are here to stay. "They've become a way of life," says Lee Howard, president of Airline Economics Inc. To help spur more people to fly during the slow winter months ahead, most US airlines are offering sharp discounts of almost 50 percent on fares across the Atlantic. Round trip flights from Boston are running as low as $318. Yet Mr. Howard, who points out that the airlines will end this year with at least a $1.8 billion operating loss on top of last year's $2.4 billion, says that the industry is also long overdue for some "catch-up" in average fares.
