Medicare Overpays $6.7 Billion for Patient Evaluation Services
By Patricia Barry , May 30, 2014 11:39 AM
Medicare spent $6.7 billion too much in 2010 by "inappropriately" paying claims from physicians who had submitted the wrong billing codes or no documentation at all for certain services, according to a new report from the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Although that amount was a small fraction of Medicare's total spending of more than $525 billion in 2010, it still added up to 21 percent of what Medicare paid for all "evaluation and management" services in that year, the report said. These services are used in doctors' offices, hospitals and emergency rooms to diagnose and manage patients' health.

Medicare billing depends on a complex system in which doctors and other providers use different codes for each service they perform. The codes, which determine how much Medicare pays, vary according to the level of the service and how much time the doctor spends with the patient.
The inspector general's investigation found that 42 percent of claims for evaluation and management services in 2010 were incorrectly coded (most often at a higher level of payment), and an additional 19 percent lacked documentation.
The report, issued Thursday, came just a few hours after Reuters published a story about three doctors in Connecticut who had grossly overbilled Medicare in 2012. The doctors billed Medicare $1.4 million for administering 24,000 drug tests to 145 patients, the Reuters analysis of payment records showed.
"The three physicians ... conducted three to four times more drug tests per patient than any other provider in the country," Reuters says. "In fact, they ordered so many individual tests, their patients averaged one every other day."
The urine and blood tests are part of a nationwide effort to detect prescription drug abuse, which is considered an increasing problem among older Americans. But Medicare's guidelines allow doctors to decide how often the tests should be should be done in each case, Reuters says, making them potentially ripe areas for fraud.
The government has retrieved $10.7 billion in health care fraud over the past three years, since the Affordable Care Act gave Medicare more authority and funds to fight fraud and abuse in the system, according to the HHS initiative STOPMedicareFraud.

But incorrect billing in Medicare may be more difficult to combat than fraud. Unlike many private insurance companies, Medicare tends to pay bills on the nail and deal later with any problems that arise. If it didn't settle claims promptly, the outcry from patients and providers would be overwhelming.
Also, just the size of Medicare may impede widespread investigation. The inspector general's report recommended that Medicare should regularly review physicians' billing, especially that of those who consistently claim codes that provide higher payments. But Medicare, while agreeing to do more to educate doctors about billing, responded that such reviews in practice cost more money than they could recoup.

On Wednesday, Sony's long-awaited PlayStation Vita goes on sale in North America. Our impressions of some of the initial games ranged from outstanding(Super Stardust Delta scored a 9.5), to dismal(Michael Jackson: The Experience HDgot stamped with a 4). The rest mostly hovered around 7. Not bad for a first batch, but with gaming getting better in smartphones, tablets, and TVs, I'm wondering how long before these standalone system become obsolete.
Now, the Vita isn't perfect. We gave it an 8.5 out of 10, dinging it for hidden costs, a limited browser, and poor battery life, but for gaming it is better by far than any smartphone. So while I think we are seeing the end of this class, I'm going to argue that that this shouldn't be the case.
Death of the unitasker
The PDA and the two-way pager no longer exist, having been absorbed into the feature and smartphone space years ago.But these were communications applications, and phones are a communications platform, so it was relatively easy for them to become aggregated into the new form factor. As these devices became obsolete, they drag companies with them. Palm had trouble with the migration, and that company no longer exists. Research In Motion (RIM) is currently on death watch.
So there is clearly a precedent for one device eating up everything similar, but I'm not convinced this should happen with games yet.
Gaming: It's in the controller
Casual games are clearly fine on a smartphone, but if you've ever played an arcade-style game or a shooter, the touch screen really starts to suck as a control element.Having physical controls makes these games far less aggravating because you can actually feel the button move, and you can hit several controls at once and not confuse the device.Yes, the phone is more convenient, but systems like the PlayStation Vita are just more fun. I seem to have a vastly lower tendency, after playing a fast game, to need to through the device into a wall out of frustration.
In addition, unlike two-way paging and PDA functions, you play games for hours.It isn't atypical to find your phone completely dead after playing games for just a few hours on an airplane, meaning you have no power to call your ride when you land and get picked up.If you kill the hand-held game system, you still have your phone to fall back on.
Granted, the Vita only has five hours of batterylife, about half of what I'd think was ideal, but think of this as five extra hours for your phone, which could be a life saver if you need to call for help.Given the power-intensive nature of gaming coupled with the need for a dedicated physical controller for anything above casual gaming, I think the hand-held gaming segment has some potential life left in it.But perceptions may kill it anyway.
The problem with perceptions
Perceptions drive our reality. That's a problem for both Sony and Nintendo, which are currently perceived as redundant beside smartphones.Given what happened to Palm and RIM, there is clearly a broad foundation for that perception, and gaming developers have been flocking to iOS and Android for some time now.
So the problem isn't whether gaming systems should be absorbed by smartphones, the problem is that people believe that to be the logical outcome.Sales and demand are well off the ideal for this class of product as a result.
First handhelds, then consoles
If hand-held gaming systems become obsolete, can console gaming be far behind?We've seen both Microsoft and Sony move their platforms aggressively towards other uses like streaming video, but smartTVs continue to advance, and at some point they may make standalone consoles obsolete.I think this is the bigger risk, because OnLive has demonstrated that it can provide a rich TV gaming experience on a current-generation smart TV. TVs aren't battery operated, nor do they require 3G service for networking support, suggesting a vastly faster and easier path for them to replace consoles than for smartphones to replace hand-held gaming systems.
Long road to obsolescence
The difference between the outlook for hand-held gaming systems and consoles really lies in the network connection.TVs can increasingly assure access to a high-speed network, enabling OnLive to replace console gaming on TVs. But 3G data remains expensive, and hand-held games are generally better played individually, not over the Web.This means that ultimately, systems like the Vita likely have a better long-term defense against being gobbled up by a smartphone than a console system like the PlayStation 3 has against being cannibalized by TVs.
In the end, both are on a path to eventually be replaced either by smartphones or TVs. But, particularly in the case of hand-held gaming systems, I think we'll regret this move once it's done.

Microsoft has been stepping on some toes with its game licensing scheme on the upcoming Xbox One. The console will require an occasional internet connection to continue operating, and the game selling will be limited. Still, you have to admit some of the newly announced titles look impressive.
Let's check them out the titles slated for the Xbox One's launch window…
Battlefield 4
It wouldn't be a console without a new Battlefield game. This first-person shooter is going to be out early in the console's life, but won't be a day-one release. The Xbox One will get the Second Assault expansion before other platforms, though.
Quantum Break
This game is an action-shooter with time manipulation elements. There will be a TV program tie-in that clues you into how best to play the game. It should land in early 2014.
Dead Rising 3
There's nothing like a little zombie slaughter early in a console's life cycle, and Dead Rising 3 will be available on launch day. The newest incarnation of this series will feature improved graphics (obviously) and a larger world with no load times.
Project Spark
A world-building adventure game, Project Spark will utilize Kinect voice commands to shape the game. The release date is unknown at this time, so assume early 2014.
Minecraft: Xbox One Edition
Yes, there will be an Xbox One version of the block-building game Minecraft. It will feature bigger maps and more multiplayer elements. No firm release date, but is expected earlier in the launch window.
Watch Dogs
This is an open world stealth adventure game from Ubisoft. It will have both single-player, and multiplayer co-op missions. This one looks a bit like a modern take on Assassin's Creed. Watch Dogs is going to be out very early in the Xbox One's life cycle, possibly as a day one launch title.
Forza Motorsport 5
The Forza games have been some of the best racing game in the past few years, and the new Xbox is getting Forza Motorsport 5 on launch day. More tracks, more licensed cars, and exclusive content pre-orders. It's out on launch day.
Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag
The newest Assassin's Creed game is coming to last-gen and next-gen consoles, but will have exclusive content on the newer hardware. Microsoft hasn't set a date for this title, but it will be very early in the launch window, possibly a day one release.
Call of Duty: Ghosts
The latest in one of the preeminent shooter franchises, Call of Duty: Ghosts is bigger and badder than its predecessors. Developer Infinity Ward has confirmed Call of Duty: Ghosts will be a launch day title for the Xbox One.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
The new Metal Gear title is going to be completely open-world. Tons of drama and cutscenes are on board, but the graphics are pretty stunning. It will be out in early 2014.
Kinect Sports Rivals
The new Kinect is going to be heavily utilized in launch window games, but probably nowhere near as much as in Kinect Sports Rivals. This game is controlled entirely with the Kinect, and you can get it on day one with exclusive pre-order content.
Crimson Dragon
Readers of a certain age might remember the flying shooter Panzer Dragoon. Crimson Dragon is the same basic concept, but much prettier. This is an on-the-rails shooter that will launch on the Xbox Live Arcade exclusively for the One shortly after the console is on sale.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Players will immerse themselves in a rich 3D open world RPG when The Witcher 3 hits Xbox One. This will be the first version of The Witcher for consoles, and it will include exclusive Kinect integration on the One. It is out in early 2014.
Ryse: Son of Rome
This Crytek game was originally announced in 2011, but it's going to be launching on Xbox One. Ryse is a melee combat game set in (as you might have guessed) ancient Rome. This is going to be a day one launch title with exclusive content for pre-orders.
Of course there is going to be a new Halo game. The unnamed shooter is being referred to as Halo 5 until a name is chosen. It's going to be Halo, but with larger environments and more missions. Halo won't be out until early 2014, though.
An exclusive on Xbox One, Titanfall is a mech combat game that takes place on far away planets. The premise sounds cool enough, and the graphics look like they'll take advantage of the console's hardware nicely. This one won't be out until early 2014.
Killer Instinct
After years of absence, Killer Instinct is returning on the Xbox One. And it looks very cool. The graphics are sort of cel shaded but textured. It is going to be free to try, but you only get one character without paying. Killer Instinct will be out on day one.
That's a lot of great stuff coming early for the Xbox One. There is also a solid assortment of titles coming out on the same day as the console. You won't be bored. So what if selling your used games might be a pain in the butt? Why would you ever want to sell these, right?

The Art of Calligraphy: Script in its purest forms - on Asbarez and Armenian Weekly
Luysiluso Concert Tour by Tigran Hamasyan 2015
«To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding.»
— Book of Proverbs, 1:2.

The Art of Armenian Calligraphy
Archaeological digs of the last decades on the territory of the Armenian Plateau show signs of a developed a culture capable of building temples and using agriculture around 12-7th millennium B.C., – making it one of the oldest inhabited parts of the world. Armenians pride themselves on being the first nation formally to adopt Christianity as its state religion (301 A.D.), the consequences of which played a decisive role in the formation of an Armenian spiritual culture and the birth of the national alphabet and literacy.
Invented in the year 405 A.D. by St. Mesrop Mashtots and designed with the help of scribe Rophanos, the creation of the Armenian alphabet was a pivotal moment in the history of the Armenian nation. Fifth century Armenia became the location of ceaseless confrontations between Byzantium and Persia and the invention of the new alphabet prevented assimilation into the linguistic dominance of one of the neighboring empires, establishing a true national identity based on an innate substance.
The alphabet of Mashtots' was so lucid and easily learnt as to become current, widely and instantaneously, across the social and economic boundaries of Armenian society in the fifth century: soldiers scribbled it on papyri, pilgrims scratched it on rocks. It immediately evolved cursive forms. It became permanently inseparable from the essential components of Armenian identity: Armenian was never again to be written otherwise, and even Armenians who spoke alien tongues used their own script to write in them. The overall effect was at least as galvanizing and dramatic as the outcome of the mass literacy campaigns of modern revolutionary societies. ( 2 )
Prior to this, documents were written in Greek, Syriac and Aramaic – scripts which Mashtots studied extensively as possible source models for the Armenian writing system during his travels across Asia Minor, Egypt and Sinai. One-to-one correspondence between sounds, letters and order constitutes a similarity with the Greek alphabet and displays an apparent intention of orienting Armenians westward. Thus the aesthetics of Angular Erkata'gir resemble graceful Greek and Roman inscriptions: letters are large, erect and clearly separated. Interestingly, according to the biography of Mashtots, Koriun, a pupil of Mashtots, carefully avoided giving total credit to Mashtots for creating the script. In fact, Koriun avoids using the word "creation" or "invention" anywhere in his account, referring to Mashtots as a 'translator' who was "looking for a thing" that was "found" in Edessa where Mashtots received his "divine" vision inspiring the new alphabet.
The Alphabet
Paleographers have proposed different views on the roots of the Armenian alphabet, some citing Phoenician, Assyro-Babylonian, Hittite and Greek origins. It is the latter theory which is universally accepted - the base script for 24 letters which Mashtots completed and adopted is Greek. They are identical to Greek in their phonetic value and their almost entirely preserved order, but the Armenian language is more complex and required an additional 14 letters for correct phonetic representation. With these additional 14 letters, the number of Armenian letters reached 36, representing six vowels and thirty consonants. In the following centuries three more characters - և - Օ - ֆ were added, bringing the total number of letters to 39.
The calligraphic tools
Until the introduction of paper in the tenth century, the common writing material was parchment. For some of the better-preserved manuscripts, the parchment was of an exceptional quality, allowing the ink to retain most of its density until the present day; it was thin and soft as paper, bright, sometimes simply white. There was naturally a variety of parchment in common use at this time, ranging from thick pieces of varying quality in the early years, to these aforementioned higher quality specimens; much of this was of course a function of the wealth of the supporting patron or monastery for which a piece of work was commissioned. The quality of parchment was affected by whether it was well treated on both sides or not. It was made from the skin of domestic animals, with the most appreciated pieces takn from the skin of a lamb or a dead-born animal. Especially refined parchments (vellums) were used in Cilician Armenia and were most likely imported from Western Europe and the Crusader's Kingdoms. The earliest dated Armenian handwritten manuscript on paper (Matenadaran No 2679) was created in 981 by the priest Davit and his son, calligrapher Gukas.
Many early Armenian manuscripts employed brown ink containing an iron oxide rather than the dark black of an Indian or Chinese ink. The inks were tested on marble plates and were prepared in containers made from clams. There were virtually hundreds of recipes for ink, prepared chemically or from natural pigments and minerals. Apart from basic components such as clay and metal, egg yolk and honey, other natural elements were used. Water was used to mix the ink and by the end of the process, gold, silver or wax polish was often applied to the surface. Black and red colors were most frequently in use, along with some usage of brown, green and blue, which were famous for their quality across Europe and the East. Arab writers and calligraphers often used and praised Armenian colors, especially "vordan karmir - որդան կարմիր" known in Europe as "Porphyrophora hamelii" or "Armenian red", and in the Arab world as "kirmiz" - a deep crimson dye (RGB 220, 20, 60) extracted from an insect (Pseudococcus) common to the Ararat Valley.
The Script
The traditionally accepted theory is of Mesropean script's linear evolution, although a thesis that most script types except Sła'gir (modern cursive) were in use from early on, perhaps even from the start, seems to be gaining ground. That we have few examples of later scripts used in the early manuscripts might be simply a result of loss over time. Two of Matenadaran's collection manuscripts' colophons – MS2877 and MS2684 (1159) are written in Sła'gir and belong to the eleventh to twelfth centuries ( 4 ). This script is thought to have been used exclusively only in the late XIX century, some 700 year later.
The Bolor'gir (Բոլորգիր) script developed more elegant and graphic forms and although by its definition a round script, the characters are slanted and letters appear to have sharp corners. The contrast between the base shape and the connecting strokes is not as extreme as in Erkata'gir, and it is a more cursive type of script (characters are placed closer to one another), with smaller sizes and altered shapes.
It is a "four line" script with the body of the letters positioned between the baseline and capline with extensions placed between ascending and descending lines that terminate the movement of the hand. The proportion of the script's height to width is 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2. Some characters are composed of two elements, therefore doubling their size in width, with the height of the letters including the extension of doubles or triples. There are two varieties of Bolor'gir: the Cilician and the Eastern (Armenia proper), with the former being more articulate and precise, while the latter retains some of the cornerstone elements of Erkata'gir.
Grigor Tatevatzi, a philosopher and painter of the fourteenth century, gave a symbolic and aesthetic interpretation for the relationship between black (dark) text and the white space of the paper. According to his vision, apart from the evident purpose of good visibility and easy comprehension of words, the black color symbolized the pain of original sin, while the white color was a symbol of innocence at birth. The white margins surrounding the text represent the four sides of the cross.
The text of Script Classification is based on D. Kouymjian ( California State University ) essay from "Album of Armenian Paleography". It underwent my editing to suit the content of this article, but due credit belongs to the source. I greatfully acknowldege his willingness to allow me to use his research and I am very thankful to J.R.Russell ( Harward University ) and Michael Stone ( HUJI ) for their contributions and inspiration.

I thought that I'd post this exclusive Apple T-Shirt while it's making the rounds on the Internet. I first spotted it over at Cult of Mac, but later realized that it was originally posted over at iLounge. The shirt simply reads:
"I visited the Apple campus. But that's all I'm allowed to say."
So awesome. The shirt sells for $17, but to get one you'll need to get you butt over to the Apple Headquarters in Cupertino, California. Why? Because this shirt is only sold (officially) at the official Apple Company Store. I've been there. It is awesome. If you're an Apple fanboy/fangirl then you MUST visit the 1 Infinite Loop before you die.

Army Awards Bronze Star to Canadian 'Devil's Brigade' Vets
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18, 2006 - The Army has authorized award of the Bronze Star Medal for Service to the living Canadian veterans of the 1st Special Services Force for their service to the U.S. Army during World War II.
The unit was known as "the Devil's Brigade" during the war and was one of the first U.S. special operations forces units in the war. The unit included U.S. Army soldiers and soldiers of the 2nd Canadian Parachute Battalion and 2nd Canadian Special Service Battalion of the Special Operations Group.
>From 1942 to 1944, about 2,500 soldiers served in the unit under U.S. Army command. Members from both nations were assigned interchangeably to the squad level and below. The Canadians wore U.S. Army uniforms and carried American weapons. The unit deployed to the Aleutian Islands in 1943 and then moved to Italy. The force participated in actions at the Anzio beachhead, the liberation of Rome and into southern France. The unit took so many casualties that officials disbanded it in January 1945.
The unit earned the name the Devil's Brigade during the Italian Campaign from words found written in the diary of a dead German officer: "The black devils are all around us every time we come into line and we never hear them."
The award of the Bronze Star Medal for Service is a conversion award of the Combat Infantryman Badge authorized for almost 1,200 Canadian veterans in 2005. Under Army policies, only Combat Infantryman Badges and Combat Medic Badges awarded during World War II may be converted to the Bronze Star Medal for Service. "This is an added award to these Canadian veterans," said Shari Lawrence, a spokeswoman for the Army's Human Resources Command.
Although approved for the unit as a whole, the almost 120 eligible veterans must submit verification documents showing their complete name, rank, service number and dates of service when they apply for the medal.
Force veterans are meeting in Helena, Mont., this week for their last reunion. "It's only fitting we make this announcement this week," Lawrence said. The unit trained in at Helena's Fort William Henry Harrison before leaving for war.
Eligible veterans may send their request and copies of their verification documents to: U.S. Army Human Resources Command; 200 Stovall Street, ATTN: AHRC-PDO-PA; Alexandria, VA 22332-4000.
