Using the iPhone to tell your storyPosted in Uncategorized on June 23rd, 2009 by admin – Be the first to comment
It was just a matter of time before someone and in this case WFOR, CBS news Miami used the iPhone for a news package. Check it out, the iPhone package
I'm very proud of traditional media for embracing a new media tool in a timely manner. I'm also proud of them for investing in iPhones. Maybe some other companies will get the hint.

HANG TIME NEW JERSEY — Dwight Howard is now a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Which means that he's not a member of the Brooklyn Nets, and probably won't ever be. What seemed like an inevitability on multiple occasions is now very unlikely.
The Nets had angled for Howard for a period of seven months, offering various packages that centered around 24 year-old Brook Lopez, cap relief, and multiple draft picks. Their first push came at the conclusion of the lockout, using their cap space to offer the Magic a ton of long-term salary relief. No deal.
Then, at the trade deadline in March, the Nets were ready again. And all along, it was clear that Howard's top choice was to join Deron Williams in Brooklyn. But sometimes, players don't get what they want. And Howard botched the plan by waiving his early termination option just hours before the Magic would have been forced to make a deal.
Perhaps he thought at the time that he could go to the playoffs with the Magic and get the trade he wanted in the summer. But then he got hurt, Otis Smith was fired, and when the Nets pushed for a trade again last month, new Magic general manager Rob Hennigan said "no thanks."
So when the deal with the Lakers was finalized on Friday, Williams didn't have much of a reaction.
"Billy [King] did everything he could to try get a deal done," he told reporters in London. "They didn't want to deal with us. What can you do?"
Marc Berman of the New York Post has more…
Deron Williams had checked out of the Dwight Howard rumors after Team USA's Las Vegas training camp. Honestly. Too many twists and turns.
So when he woke up Friday and found out Howard was headed to the Lakers, his disappointment was only marginal.
"We went down that road," the Nets' franchise player said after Team USA made it to the gold-medal game by trouncing Argentina Friday night.
"Mentally I wasn't in the Dwight sweepstakes anymore. It just got kind of old. I'm happy for him. I know he wanted to get out of Orlando. He did that and he's going to a great franchise and I wish him the best of luck."
The Nets basically moved on when they re-signed Lopez to a max deal on July 11, rendering him untradeable until Jan. 15. But they certainly would have been ready again if the Magic held on to Howard for that long.
Now, the door is completely closed, and the Nets are really moving on. The opportunity to team Williams with Howard is gone, but they'll still be a very good team. Few teams can match a starting lineup of Williams, Joe Johnson, Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries and Lopez.
The focus goes back to Lopez. In the spotlight of all the trade rumors, he's been scrutinized non-stop since December. He played just five games last season and must improve his defense and rebounding. But he's still just 24 years old with plenty of potential for improvement … and plenty to prove.
"I think Brook is a great piece to have," Williams said. "He's been injured. He's been on teams that don't get much attention. I know he's looking forward to having a big year."

Final 2014 ACM Awards New Artist of the Year Nominees Announced
Votes have been tallied, and the top three finalists for 2014 ACM New Artist of the Year have been announced!
The lucky guys are Kip Moore, Brett Eldredge and Justin Moore. The trio beat out other extremely talented semi-finalists and peers Tyler Farr, Lee Brice, two-time Grammy winner Kacey Musgraves, Thomas Rhett and Parmalee for the coveted three spots.
The final 2014 ACMs New Artist of the Year nominees were selected by a combined vote from fans and professional members of the Academy of Country Music. This award absorbs all newcomer categories, including New Male Vocalist, New Female Vocalist and New Vocal Duo or Group categories from past years, tightening up the competition for the trophy.
So, will the winner be singer-songwriter Moore, who has made hits like 'Something 'Bout a Truck' climb the country charts while fusing blue collar rock with country? Or will it be 'Beat of the Music' hitmaker Eldredge, who embarked on his first-ever headlining tour last fall? Moore -- a soon-to-be dad of three -- is also very much in contention with the No. 1 hit 'Point at You.'
Last year's winner was duo Florida Georgia Line, and as country fans know, they've had a fantastic year since.
The final round of fan voting for the 2014 ACM Awards New Artist of the Year begins on March 24 at 3PM ET and will close at 8PM ET on April 6. Fans can see the winner named on the live broadcast of the 49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, hosted by country's funny guys Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan.
The 2014 ACMs air Sunday, April 6 at 8PM ET.

I heard about the ICD Program through a friend of mine who used to study in the Counseling Psychology program. I checked it online and I found it to be great. I liked the idea of pursuing my studies at Northwest.Watch the Video
I choose the ICD Program because I wanted to have a Christian perspective of community development and this program was well designed to meet my expectations.Watch the Video
I did like a lot of diversity in our cohort. People from different backgrounds and rich backgrounds. So I liked this bringing together of different experiences. I also liked the quality of teaching, we had great teachers and I enjoyed that.Watch the Video
During my practicum I focused on work that would lead towards my thesis. So I had field experience in Seattle, Sammamish, and the Central District. I also worked on research, literature review on things that would lead to my thesis.Watch the Video
My thesis focused on designing a model for complimentary rural health services. I actually have a background in medicine and I wanted to see how we can use medical services to promote development in rural places. So I focused on designing that model of hospital.Watch the Video
I am planning to head back to Burkina Faso, my home country, and resume my clinical practice as a physician and use the knowledge that I got from ICD to continue developing the project of the community hospital. And I hope to accomplish that in the years to come.Watch the Video
I think ICD is a great program and I would recommend anybody who is interested in community development to check out the program. It's a well-designed program, the people are great, the teachers are great, and I would really encourage people to check it out. And if they have goals they should make sure that the program offers elements that meet their goals. And then I'm sure that they will enjoy coming to the ICD Program.Watch the Video

I lost 4 pounds in the first week. I wasn't strictly following the 20g version and wasn't losing a lot at first, so I made it so that I was within 20g or carbs and then I was losing 1.1 lbs per day for 3 days in a row. So now, the secone week, I added more fruit back in, and I've gained 1.4 lbs in 2 days! I measure at the same time everyday with the same clothes on so it can't be that!!
Help!! I'm on the version 1 if that helps!! I don't want to gain any more weight!! I didn't even eat any bread!!
I'm further away from losing 20lbs now... I was going to cry this morning

MILLEDGEVILLE, GA. – The Georgia College Invisible Children Foundation is partnered with Awere Secondary School in Uganda. Bobcat women's cross country senior Dani Destiche (Snellville, Ga.) works closely with this organization and has put together a 5K-fundraiser race Friday, Oct. 29 at 2 p.m. on West Campus. It is a five-dollar entrance fee paid at the race and is open to all community members. All proceeds will go to the schools for schools (S4S) foundation.
"Being involved in this organization has been a cool and rewarding experience for me," said Destiche. "Each member in the organization uses their particular strength to put together a fundraiser. If you have a background in music then maybe you would put together a fundraiser concert. In my case, my passion is running so I wanted to put together a fundraiser race to benefit the cause."
The S4S program emerged from our overarching goal to raise the standards of secondary education in northern Uganda. The projects under the S4S umbrella encourage academic excellence not only within students, but also, on a much larger scale, excellence within their schools. By delving to the root of local development issues and improving education holistically from the ground up, we are able to help improve the quality of education in the region through a variety of implementation practices.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Halloween Costumes for Seniors and In Home Care
Halloween has always been a fun way to dress up and show off a creative side. Many like to get into the festive spirit and get spooky, funny and original. While the holiday is usually most known for children trick-or-treating door-to-door, Halloween doesn't have to be just for kids.
There are many ways our senior loved ones can participate in the dressing up. There are many Halloween costumes for seniors that are creative and fun. If your loved one is a fan of entertainment, they might enjoy dressing up like Charlie Chaplin. This would only involve some menswear that can be found in their own closet or at the local thrift shop. A suit jacket, vest and slacks that are similar in color would work great. Draw on dark eyebrows, add a fake mustache, put on the bowler hat, and your senior is good to go!
If a more feminine costume is more appropriate for your senior loved one, perhaps they would enjoy becoming Rosie Riveter. The "We Can Do It" attitude can be loud and proud with this iconic costume. Grab a comfortable denim shirt and roll up the sleeves, throw on some jeans and tennis shoes. Then, simply tie a red polka-dot bandana as a headband, throw on some red lipstick, and your senior loved one is ready to go!
There are many fun Halloween costumes for seniors such as helping them to become Luke and Lea from Star Wars. Not only is that costume current with the newest movie release, it's also nostalgic for those in love with the original flicks.
Some simple last minute costume ideas include using a permanent marker and writing the words "Go Ceiling" so they can ironically cheer on their favorite team and become a "Ceiling Fan". A costume that requires even less thought is to carry around an empty frame to become a self-portrait. Put on a Hawaiian shirt and some leis and your senior can easily become a tourist.
Halloween costumes for seniors don't have to be intricate to be effective. There are many ways to help your loved one get into the creative spirit and have some fun. A quick online search makes creating a costume from items already in the home easy and less of an investment, but still just as much fun.

Will Tuckett's Wind in the Willows is to transfer to the Duchess Theatre in December 2013, the first time a Royal Opera House production has transferred commercially to London's West End.
The much-loved adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's classic sees the adventures of reckless Toad and his long-suffering friends Ratty, Mole and Badger retold through dance, song, music and puppetry. It will run for eight weeks.
Will Kemp as Ratty, Clemmie Sveaas as Mole and Sam Archer as Badger in Wind in the Willows © ROH / Johan Persson 2012
Alex Beard, Chief Executive Designate of the Royal Opera House said:
'This is a hugely exciting development for us, seeing one of our much-loved productions transfer into the West End. The Wind in the Willows was the first small-scale Christmas production to be created for the then newly opened Linbury Studio Theatre, and has been so popular that we have brought it back into the repertory three times since those first performances. Will Tuckett's production is a wonderful family show and we're really pleased that more people will have the opportunity to see it just down the road from Covent Garden.'

The Great Les Blank/
The remarkable Bay Area filmmaker Les Blank will be forever remembered for his great and imaginative films. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. We are honored to have known him and to have welcomed him and his films to our San Francisco International Film Festival many times, including for a Ten Film Retrospective Tribute in 1995.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Les Blank has changed the ways in which we gather knowledge, understand movies and even celebrate life itself ... His body of work is not only impressive but can stand in for a guide to how to live well. -Sean Uyehara, SFFS Programmer
This year we are proud to honor Les with a program in our festival titled Spend It All, which features three newly restored 16mm films by Les Blank: the west coast premiere of the restoration of Spend it All, a documentary celebrating Cajun food, music and culture, and world premieres of the restorations of rarely seen Chicken Real (1970, 23 min) and Christopher Tree (aka Spontaneous Sound, 1972, 10 min). All film restored by and presented in collaboration with the Academy Film Archive.

YouTube Capture for iPhone - Quickly Record, Edit, And Upload Videos
iPhone users have been known to shoot some high-quality mobile videos. The new YouTube Capture app gives users the tools to shoot, edit, and upload to your channel in a matter of minutes. According to YouTube, the app was designed for speed and claims to be the fastest way to get videos to YouTube from your iPhone or iPod Touch. After just a few clicks, users can capture, caption, add a location, upload to YouTube and share videos to Google+, Facebook, and Twitter.
In addition to speed, YouTube Capture offers handy editing/enhancing options like automatic color correction, stabilization, trimming, and music tracks. In other words, for that "in the moment" video, you may not have to wait until you get home to download the video to your computer to edit before you upload to your channel.
This new offering from YouTube rivals apps like SocialCam that also makes it easy to add flash and flare to mobile videos that are earmarked for YouTube. While SocialCam may lean on its strong social network, YouTube and its potential millions of viewers might be enough for it to compete with similar apps in the space.

Are Clips willing to deal Griffin to get James? | Boeheim thinks Anthony would thrive in Chicago | Cavs still torn on who to take No. 1 | Report: Kings, Pistons talk J-Smoove swap | Report: Pelicans looking to move into first round
No. 1: Report: Clips interested in Anthony, James, but won't trade Griffin … or would they? — LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony, both of whom are on the free-agent market after their recent decisions to opt out of their contracts, are both close on a personal level with L.A. Clippers point guard Chris Paul. James and Paul have been close friends for years, while Anthony and Paul are also tight (anyone remember Paul famously toasting a future with Anthony during 'Melo's wedding?). The Clips are interested — like every other team in the league — in trying to nab Anthony and/or James this summer, but they won't move Blake Griffin to make either transaction happen. Ramona Shelburne of ESPNLosAngeles.com has more:
The Los Angeles Clippers have strong interest in pursuing LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony if they can clear the requisite salary cap space to make a maximum-level offer to the superstars, who have both elected to become free agents starting July 1.
One player they have no interest in moving, however, is forward Blake Griffin. While the Clippers would need to move significant players and money to make a run at either James or Anthony, sources told ESPN that Clippers president and coach Doc Rivers has told Griffin on numerous occasions that he considers him "untouchable" in any trade.
The Clippers have $76 million committed in salaries for next season. That figure will decrease to $71.7 million after Darren Collison, Glen Davis and Danny Granger opt out of their contracts for next season, meaning the Clippers likely would have to trade some combination of prized young center DeAndre Jordan (one year, $11.4 million), Jared Dudley (three years, $12.1 million), Matt Barnes (three years, $10.1 million), Jamal Crawford (three years, $16.3 million) or J.J. Redick (four years, $27.7 million) to facilitate a deal.
The Clippers' discussions about making a run at James or Anthony have been internal thus far; however, sources said the team has engaged in trade discussions this spring with the Orlando Magic regarding shooting guard Arron Afflalo.
Paul is one of James' best friends and the two have talked about playing with each other since they were in high school, when they met on the AAU and prep all-star circuits. Paul is godfather to James' son Bryce and they were in each other's weddings.
The Clippers have a similar interest in Anthony, who is close with both Paul and Griffin, but it would be too difficult to clear enough salary cap space to pursue both James and Anthony in tandem.
While Shelburne makes it pretty clear the Clips won't deal Griffin for James or Anthony, that may or may not be the truth in L.A. Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times echoes that the Clips are indeed interested in LeBron and that they'd be willing to move Griffin to make a deal for him happen.
Doc Rivers, the Clippers' president of basketball operations and coach, and his staff are doing their due diligence to make the team better and would consider moving All-Star power forward Blake Griffin along with others in a sign-and-trade deal to get James, according to the officials.
The Clippers could consider sending Griffin and Jared Dudley or Griffin and Matt Barnes to Miami to get James.
The Clippers wouldn't mind trading DeAndre Jordan, Jamal Crawford and either Barnes or Dudley to the Heat for James, but the team knows that would most likely be hard to do.
One official said James really liked Rivers and was good friends with Clippers point guard Chris Paul.
Another official said James' wife, Savannah, really loved Los Angeles, and that her preference would be for her husband to play for the Clippers rather than the Lakers if he decided to leave.
"The Miami Heat does not think he's leaving," one official said. "Miami thinks it's a ploy by James to make the team better."
The Clippers also haven't ruled out making a run at Carmelo Anthony, who opted out of his contract with the New York Knicks and will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, the officials said.
Another NBA official said that Steve Ballmer, who has agreed to pay $2 billion to buy the Clippers from Donald and Shelly Sterling in a deal that isn't official yet, would be willing to "pay the luxury tax" if he was able to acquire James or Anthony.

No. 2: Boeheim thinks 'Melo would thrive in Chicago — The common notion with Carmelo Anthony's future, it seems, is that the best place for him to have both individual success and a shot at a championship run would come with the Chicago Bulls. It seems Anthony's college coach, Jim Boeheim of Syracuse, shares that notion. Boeheim spoke with the New York Post's Marc Berman about Anthony in the Windy City and how he would fare under coach Tom Thibodeau:
Jim Boeheim is not advocating Carmelo Anthony leave the Knicks for the Bulls. But if it did happen, the Syracuse coaching legend believes Anthony and Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau would be a very good match.
Boeheim and Thibodeau were together last summer in Las Vegas during Team USA's training camp as assistant coaches for Mike Krzyzewski. Even then, Thibodeau picked Boeheim's brain on Anthony. They remain in touch as Team USA gears up for the World Championships this summer.
Despite being over the salary cap, the Bulls are considered the favorites if Anthony decides to leave the Knicks.
"I've talked to Tom about Melo, his name has come up,'' Boeheim told The Post. "I think Tom is very excited about the possibility of getting Carmelo. He likes him. He likes how he plays. He feels he's coachable. I think Tom Thibodeau is one of the better coaches in the NBA. Carmelo would be happy playing for him. It would be a good fit — the coach-player relationship.''
Boeheim has spoken to Anthony about his free agency, but not recently. He believes Anthony's priority is having the best chance to win a title and hopes that place is New York.
"I talked to some of his guys, spent time with him in the past about it,'' Boeheim said. "Everybody has to understand with LeBron opting out [Tuesday], these guys are business guys. They have to look for the best situation for them. That's all they're doing. There's so much put on winning championships. Every player has to try to find the best situation for them. Problem is, it's not that easy to do.''
Because there's no clear title contender with cap space, Boeheim feels Anthony has a very tough call to make.
"With the Knicks, how long does it take?'' Boeheim said. "Melo has three, four prime years left. If something didn't happen this year, next year for some reason they don't get a couple of quality guys, now what do you do? It's tough figuring out what to do. It's not easy for him.''
No. 3: Report: Cavs torn about who to take No. 1 overall — A look at the latest Consensus Mock Draft from our own Drew Packham proves what ESPN.com's Chad Ford and Jeff Goodman are reporting — Cleveland has no idea whom it will take with the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday night's Draft. Add to the mix that the Utah Jazz, Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers are all trying to move up to No. 1 overall and the Cavs have their hands full right now:
Just two days before the NBA draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers are split on whether to take Jabari Parker or Andrew Wiggins with the top overall pick, multiple sources told ESPN.com.
"They are torn," one source close to the situation told ESPN.com. "They met for three hours, and all they talked about was those two guys."
Added another industry source: "They haven't come to a decision yet."
The Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic and Utah Jazz have all offered their high lottery picks plus a veteran to move up to No. 1.
Of the offers they've received, a source says the Cavs aren't enamored by either the Sixers' offer (Thaddeus Young and the No. 3 pick) nor the Jazz's offer (Derrick Favors and the No. 5 pick). However, the Cavs do have some interest in the Magic's offer of Arron Afflalo, the No. 4 pick and the No. 12 pick.
The Cavs have strong interest in luring James back to Cleveland this summer and know they need to add more pieces to make the team more attractive. Afflalo is a veteran guard who both defends and shoots the three and would be a nice addition to the Cavs' backcourt.
If the Cavs keep the pick, they also may have to factor in who would be most likely to lure James.
For the past few days, the Cavaliers, according to sources, have been leaning toward selecting Parker.
However, Parker's workout on Friday in Cleveland was a disappointment, according to multiple sources.
Meanwhile, the athletic 6-8 Wiggins went to Cleveland on Wednesday and shot the ball extremely well — which is considered one of his primary weaknesses. Wiggins also showed off his elite athletic abilities and generally wowed ownership during the workout.

No. 4: Kings, Pistons reportedly talking swap for Josh Smith — Josh Smith's first season in Detroit was a decided dud. He saw his scoring average, shooting percentage and 3-point shooting percentage all take major dips as the Pistons struggled to a 29-win season. The Sacramento Kings are looking for a proven defensive stopper on the wings and as ESPN.com's Marc Stein reports, have interest in landing Smith:
Stan Van Gundy's first trade as the new president and coach of the Detroit Pistons might prove to be a whopper.
Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com on Tuesday that the Pistons have engaged the Sacramento Kings in trade discussions this week that would potentially land Josh Smith in the same Sacramento frontcourt as DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay.
Sources say that Smith being swapped in exchange for the combination of Sacramento's Jason Thompson and Derrick Williams is one trade construction that the teams have discussed. Although one source insisted Tuesday that no deal is imminent, another source told ESPN.com that the teams have continued to exchange proposals, with Williams potentially being replaced by another Kings player such as Jason Terry or Carl Landry.
Sources say that the Kings, though, have been giving the swap serious consideration, largely because the deal would not cost them any players in their long-term plans and would also add a versatile and athletic defender to a roster that badly needs one, answering coach Mike Malone's call for more help on that end.
Another potential bonus is Smith's close relationship with Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, whom Sacramento has reportedly been targeting in trade talks for some time.

No. 5: Report: Pelicans trying to land pick in 2014 Draft — During last year's Draft, the New Orleans Pelicans pulled off a trade that netted them then-Sixers All-Star guard Jrue Holiday for their first-round pick (Nerlens Noel) and a first-round pick in this year's draft. As it stands today, the Pelicans have no picks come Thursday night, but they are working to rectify that situation. John Reid of The Times Picayune reports that getting into the first round, contrary to internet reports, won't come at the expense of trading Holiday again:
According to Pelicans coach Monty Williams, they have actively pursued options to get back in the NBA draft after surrendering their first-round pick to the Philadelphia 76ers that was part of last year's draft night trade.
"If there's an opportunity to get in the draft, we're going to look at it," Williams said. "The one thing we don't want to do is be aggressive and put ourselves in a position to where we're hamstrung for awhile and can't make moves for the future."
According to league sources, the Pelicans are still having conversations with several teams about trying to trade into the first round to select a center or small forward, their two greatest need areas.
One internet report speculated over the weekend the Pelicans have had conversations with the Sacramento Kings to secure their eighth overall pick in the first round in exchange for starting point guard Jrue Holiday.
But a league source confirmed Tuesday afternoon that Holiday has not been included in any trade discussions by the Pelicans to secure a draft pick.
If the Pelicans look to make a deal to get back in the draft, it likely would be with one of the seven teams holding multiple picks in the first round. Those teams are the Utah Jazz, Charlotte Hornets, Chicago Bulls, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, Oklahoma City Thunder and the Philadelphia 76ers.
SOME RANDOM NEWS: The Sixers might still be interested in taking Joel Embiid with the No. 3 overall pick … Brian Scalabrine might soon join Doc Rivers' coaching staff in Clipperland … The Celtics are reportedly interested in trading up in the Draft … The Knicks may be trying to acquire a first-round pick so they can draft Patric Young … That Ben Franklin logo won't be on the court in Philly next season, but it will be on t-shirts … Serge Ibaka's troublesome calf is on the mend and he should be available to play for Spain in the FIBA World Cup … For the record, Steve Nash says he has no interest in ever being an NBA coach … Expect a pretty patient, smart offseason from the Blazers …

Body Mass Index (BMI):
BMI is a number calculated from a person's weight and height and is used as an indicator of body fatness (the higher the number, the more body fat).
Link: A BMI calculator is available on the National Institute of Health website, at: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/obesity/BMI/bmicalc.htm.
Severe obesity:
For the purposes of providing obesity treatment services, L&I defines severe obesity as a BMI of 35 or greater. (See definition of BMI, above.)
Payment policy: Obesity treatment
Prior authorization
Parameters for coverage
All obesity treatment services require prior authorization.
Obesity doesn't meet the definition of an industrial injury or occupational disease. Temporary treatment may be allowed when the unrelated obesity condition hinders recovery from an accepted condition.
To be eligible for obesity treatment services, the worker must be severely obese (have a BMI of 35 or greater).
Note: See definitions of BMI and severe obesity in Definitions at the beginning of this chapter.
Requesting a weight reduction program
The attending provider should contact the insurer to request a weight reduction program if the worker meets all of the following criteria:
- Is severely obese, and
- Obesity is the primary condition retarding recovery from the accepted condition, and
- The weight reduction is necessary to undergo required surgery, participate in physical rehabilitation, or return to work.
The attending provider who believes that the worker may qualify for obesity treatment:
- Must advise the insurer of the worker's weight and level of function prior to the injury and how it has changed, and
- Must submit medical justification for obesity treatment, including tests, consultations, or diagnostic studies that support the request, and
- May request a consultation with a certified dietitian (CD) to determine if an obesity treatment program is appropriate for the worker.
Required: Treatment plan
Prior to receiving authorization for an obesity treatment program, the attending provider and worker are required to develop a treatment plan, which will include:
- The amount of weight the worker must lose to undergo surgery, and
- Estimated length of time needed for the worker to lose the weight, and
- A diet and exercise plan, including a weight loss goal, approved by the attending provider as safe for the worker, and
- Specific program or other weight loss method requested, and
- Attending provider's plan for monitoring weight loss, and
- Documented weekly weigh-ins, and
- Group support facilitated by trained staff, and
- Counseling and education provided by trained staff, and
- For State Fund claims, sign the Claim Manager generated authorization letter, which serves as a memorandum of understanding between the insurer, the worker, and the attending provider.
Note: The treatment plan won't include requirements to buy supplements or special foods.
Authorization or not?
The insurer authorizes obesity treatment for up to 90 days at a time as long as the worker does all of the following to ensure continued authorization of the obesity treatment plan.
- Loses an average of at least one to two pounds a week, and
- Regularly attends weekly treatment sessions (meetings and weigh-ins), and
- Cooperates with the approved obesity treatment plan, and
- Is evaluated by the attending provider at least every 30 days, and
- Pays the joining fee and weekly membership fees up front and is reimbursed by the insurer using the codes listed below, under Services that can be billed, and
- Sends the insurer a copy of the weekly weigh-in sheet signed by the program coordinator every week.
The insurer will no longer authorize obesity treatment when any one of the following occurs:
- The worker reaches the weight loss goal identified in the obesity treatment plan (see Note, below), or
- Obesity no longer interferes with recovery from the accepted condition (see Link, below), or
- The worker isn't losing weight an average of at least one to two pounds each week, or
- The worker isn't cooperating with the approved obesity treatment plan.
Note: If the worker chooses to continue the weight loss program for general health, it will be at his or her own expense.
Link: To see more information about why it is prohibited to treat an unrelated condition once it no longer retards recovery from the accepted condition, see WAC 296-20-055.
Attending provider's responsibilities
Upon approval of the obesity treatment plan, the attending provider's role is to:
- Examine the worker every 30 days to monitor and document weight loss, and
- Notify the insurer when:
- The worker reaches the weight loss goal, or
- Obesity no longer interferes with recovery from accepted condition, or
- The worker is no longer losing the weight needed to meet the weight loss goal in the treatment plan.
Who must perform these services to qualify for payment
Nutrition counseling
Only CDs will be paid for nutrition counseling services.

The practice of identifying specific hurricanes began back in the 1700s when storms were referred to by the year and the location in which they took place. In World War II, meteorologists named hurricanes after their wives and girlfriends on the homefront (how romantic). A tthe urging of feminist groups in the 1960s, men's names were added to the mix in 1979.*
Today, the National Weather Service has a list of names for hurricanes prepared years in advance. While this system may be great for science types, it doesn't do much to much to help laypeople keep them straight.
Plus, I always think it's weird to hear potentially deadly storms referred to by people's names as if a friend is coming to visit for the weekend: "Chantal should arrive in Jacksonville Saturday morning."
As a result, I've come up with my own local hurricane naming system where storms are given a number and are formally named after they make landfall based on what happened — or didn't. (Note: By taking this tongue-in-cheek approach to classifying storms, I am in no way intending to minimize the devastation caused by severe weather. Nor am I suggesting that residents disregard severe weather warnings. I'm merely poking fun at local news media and their philsophy that "rain reigns.")
Here, then, are a few of the more recent storms that you probably heard of — but might not remember—and my suggestions for new names.
Tropical Storm Fay (August 2008): A tropical wave moved off the coast of Africa toward the Virgin islands and Puerto Rico and within a week was designated a tropical storm. She spent seven days in Florida touching down in the Florida Keys, Cape Romano, Flagler Beach and the Panhandle. But in Jacksonville, Tropical Storm Fay is better known as The One That Caused Corrine Brown to Call the City and Have Sandbags Delivered to Her House.
Hurricane Irene (August 2011): Originating in the Lesser Antilles and quickly developing into a category 3 hurricane over the warm waters of the Bahamas, Hurricane Irene was downgraded to a category 1 storm by the time she made landfall in the Outerbanks of North Carolina. Irene wreaked havoc along much of the East Coast making it the seventh costliest hurricane in U.S. history. Around these parts, Mother Nature was more of a curiosity than a threat, though, with folks flocking to to the beach to see palm fronds scattered in the streets and the Atlantic Ocean churn, making Hurricane Irene The One That Produced Totally Awesome Waves.
Tropical Storm Beryl (May 2012): Showing up several weeks before the "official" start of hurricane season, Beryl made landfall in Jacksonville with peak winds of 70 mph. A significant amount of rain did cause flooding in some areas, though, meteorologists considered it beneficial as the area was in a drought at the time. The Mathews Bridge was closed, and flights were canceled. But to most of us, Beryl will be known as The One That Ruined Memorial Day Weekend and/or The One That Caused the Jazz Festival to End a Day Early.
Tropical Storm Andrea (June 2013): Last month, "disturbed weather" in the Caribbean eventually strengthened into a Tropical Storm with winds peaking at 65 mph. Andrea first made landfall in Dixie County, spawning several tornadoes, but leaving Jacksonville unscathed. Sure, there was some heavy rain, but even local news stations had difficulty making it into something it wasn't. Case in point: this overly dramatic live report from First Coast News.
FCN did attempt to give Andrea a more relevant name to local residents: The One That Snarled Traffic on San Jose Boulevard. But I, for one, prefer The One That We Didn't Even Realize Was a Tropical Storm Because It Rains All of the Time in Florida in the Summer.

How to sell your English ebook in the German market
My name is Birgit Kluger and I have been a writer since more than a decade. For a living I write about various topics such as logistics, project management and marketing. For fun –and hopefully one day for a living- I write ChickLit, Fantasy and Mystery novels.
My latest book combines these two areas since I am trying to help authors market their English books in Germany. The idea grew with my own attempts at marketing the English version of my Fantasy novel in the US and UK market. Something that was harder than I first thought.
I know I was being naive but I figured what –still- works in Germany, would also be successful in other countries. Which is why I started a free KDP promotion, the giving away of free ebooks on Amazon by signing exclusively with Amazon for 90 days.
I did the usual: Contacted some websites and Facebook pages that feature free books, twittered about my promotion and then waited to see how many downloads I would get.
The results were sobering. After three days I didn't even have a hundred downloads. It took me a while to find out that you have to be listed with either Pixel of Ink, Ereader News Today or Bookbub to attract readers to a FREE book.
Would have been good to get information about these things, BEFORE starting the promo. My next attempts were more successful but unfortunately Amazon had changed the algorithms again, so despite the fact that I had 16,000 downloads I didn't sell many books afterwards. Again, the information would have been helpful to have.
The good thing about these experiences was that I started marketing my English book in Germany with considerably better results. Why? Because I know the German book market very well. My ChickLit/Mystery book was the top 100 Kindle Charts for more than two months and in its Genre charts for more than a year.
I tried various marketing tools as well as selling exclusively on Amazon and using an Aggregator to reach more shops. I did blog tours, reading events and issued press releases to reach potential readers.
In my book "Going Global – How to sell English ebooks in Germany", I am giving this knowledge to English authors.
With this guide I am trying to help authors avoid the pitfalls and mistakes I made when entering the US market. I hope it is helpful to authors who try selling their ebooks beyond the US and UK markets. In "Going Global" I explain to you which advertising sites really shift books, why free promotions still get results, which dates are the best for such a promotion and how you can sell your ebook outside of Amazon.
About the Author: Birgit Kluger published her first novel "Schau ihr in die Augen", with Droemer Knaur, one of the big publishing houses in Germany. She is author of the best selling ChickLit-Crime novel "Trau niemals einem Callboy". She has also published an English fantasy novel "Creatures of Fire: Demons die harder" under the pen name of J.B. Brooklin. With "Going Global – How to sell English ebooks in Germany", she tries to help English authors sell their ebook in Germany.
Her newest endeavor is "Save Dschinnanya!" a fund raising project for Part 2 of her English Fantasy Series "Creatures of Fire".

Miami Brickell Real Estate
Condos For Sale in Bunche Park Florida
The media portrays Miami Brickell Real Estate investing as something that is very easy to do. We have all seen those books and televisions shows on how to invest in real estate in Bunche Park to become a millionaire. However, there are a couple of common mistakes that you need to watch out for. The following are a few of them.
1. Thoroughly understand your loan.
Before you select your loan be sure to check to see if there are points or hidden fees so that you don't end up with any surprises. Check the rate since it can change from when you had your initial discussions with your bank and the day that the loan was locked. Also be sure that you understand what the differences are between an adjustable rate loan and a fixed rate one. These days, interest rates are at the lowest level they have been in many years, however by the end of 2017 we are anticipating a sudden increase.
2. Be Object About A REIT
A REIT (real estate investment fund) is quite attractive since it offers very generous dividends. However, you need to be aware of what the face value is in addition to the dividends, since they can decrease in value just like any other type of investment can. Whenever you purchase a REIT make sure you know exactly what you are purchasing.

3. Brick And Mortar Investing
It can be easier to invest in the stock market than it is to invest in real estate in Bunche Park. You can purchase a stock online with just a few clicks. Real estate investing is totally different, You need to know all of the ins and outs of the real estate market and understand that what you are investing in is not liquid. You can't sell your house with just a couple of clicks the way you can sell stock. It isn't as dynamic, each purchase is different and there are different steps that need to be followed.
4. Flipping Condos In Bunche Park Florida
There are tons of shows on television about flipping houses. They make it looks so fast and easy to purchase and resell houses. But is that how it really is in real life? Before you start to do it you really need to have a good understanding of how the real estate market works and have good purchasing power as well. For example, if you are going to purchase a house at an auction, you will have to pay for it in cash.
5. Additional Costs
When planning on your property's future, you should over estimate your expenses. Thank about all of the costs that relate to commissions, insurance, repairs and rental management. You don't want to get into a position where you can't pay the mortgage after one month without having a tenant.

The following is a letter written about the times of 1819. William Foy's sister was Ruth Foy Thorpe. Her granddaughter, Selia A. Turner wrote:
"In the spring of 1819, Sara Foy, a widow with five sons; William, Benjamin, David, Jonathan and Samuel and two daughter, Ruth and Maribee, left Lyndon, Vermont to go to Napoli, Cattaraugus County, in western New York state. See page 28a.
It was wilderness area and the Holland Land Company advertised the fertility of the soil, valuable timber, mild climate and the absence of hostile Indians. The journey was made by ox team and sled and with as many of their household necessities as could be carried, leaving small space for the mother and daughters on the journey.
The sons guided the oxen and the family cow was tied to the sled, and their flock of sheep driven on the same trail. Roads were impassable and swamps were crossed on beds of logs and many a swollen stream was forded. At night they would find shelter with a family along the way where they would spread their blankets on the floor of the log house.
But Grandmother said the slow progress of the ox team gave time for the younger children to play and pick spring flowers.
The family settled in Napoli, joining three families from Vermont who had moved there the year before. They paid about 20 shillings an acre for land, which was about 42 cents an acre.
They built a log house, cleared land and raised crops for food. The nearest grist mill was 12 miles away. Their first problem was to keep the bears and wolves from killing their sheep. The kept a constant watch day and night till the home was built. The sheep were then kept in the house at night until a pen was made which would keep predators out."

List CO2 carbonation as per BJCP style
Be good to see the recommended style beer is carbonated within the guidelines on the style tab automatically as laid down by BJCP. Then I know automatically if I have to carbonate more or less on the Carbonation tab - see how the CO2 calculator works at http://www.tastybrew.com/calculators/priming.html rather than work it out manually for each style

So, even if you don't live with the IRS rules (and even if you're tax free, that doesn't mean that your accountants don't follow Generally Accepted Accounting Practices, which map pretty much one to one), you wind up being affected by them.
