(CNN) — The Supreme Court ruled Monday that closely held companies cannot be required to pay to cover some types of contraceptives for their employees, ending its term with a narrow legal and political setback for a controversial part of President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law.
The owners of Hobby Lobby, furniture maker Conestoga Wood Specialties and Christian bookseller Mardel argued that the Affordable Care Act violates the First Amendment and other federal laws protecting religious freedom because it requires them to provide coverage for contraceptives like the "morning-after pill," which the companies consider tantamount to abortion.
The decision, which comes two years after the justices narrowly preserved the Affordable Care Act and its key funding provision, could serve as a primer for other pending challenges to the health law.
The issue before the justices was whether Obamacare can mandate contraception coverage specifically for certain businesses that object for religious reasons.
"This case isn't that practically important, except for the employees and businesses involved. There just aren't a huge number of those," said Thomas Goldstein, publisher of SCOTUSblog.com and a Washington appellate attorney.
"But everyone can agree the social questions presented — about when people can follow their religious convictions, and when people are entitled to contraception care — are truly important," he said.
Contraception mandate
The section of law in dispute requires for-profit employers of a certain size to offer insurance benefits for birth control and other reproductive health services without a co-pay.
A number of companies equate some of the covered drugs, such as the so-called "morning-after" pill, as causing abortion.
The specific question presented was whether these companies can refuse, on the sincere claim it would violate their owners' long-established moral beliefs.
The First Amendment says that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
"How does a corporation exercise religion?" asked Justice Sonia Sotomayor at March's oral arguments, summarizing perhaps the key constitutional question at hand.
"This is a religious question and it's a moral question," added Justice Samuel Alito, suggesting the businesses have such a right. "You want us to provide a definitive secular answer."
Conestoga, Hobby Lobby
The justices have a good deal of discretion to frame the competing issues and could reach a limited "compromise" through narrow statutory interpretation.
They could conclude individual owners can make the religious freedom claim, bypassing the corporate rights argument, but still give female workers the flexibility to get covered drugs.
The court weighed two related appeals from Conestoga Wood Specialties, a Pennsylvania cabinet maker, and Hobby Lobby, an Oklahoma-based retail giant that will have more than 700 arts-and-crafts stores nationwide by year's end.
Both corporations emphasized their desire to operate in harmony with biblical principles while competing in a secular marketplace. That includes their leaders' publicly stated opposition to abortion.
The case presented a complex mix of legal, regulatory, and constitutional concerns over such thorny issues as faith, abortion, corporate power, executive agency discretion, and congressional intent.
Health law impact
The political stakes are large, especially for the future effectiveness of the health law, which marks its fourth anniversary this year.
The botched rollout last fall of HealthCare.gov, the federal Obamacare website, has become another political flashpoint along with other issues that many Republicans say proves the law is unworkable.
They have made Obamacare a key campaign issue in their fight to overtake the Senate, and retain control of the House.
Supporters of the law fear a high court setback on the contraception mandate will lead to other healthcare challenges on religion grounds, such as do-not-resuscitate orders and vaccine coverage. More broadly, many worry giving corporations religious freedom rights could affect laws on employment, safety, and civil rights.
The abortion link
The Hahn family, owners of Conestoga, and the Green family, owners of Hobby Lobby, said some of the mandated contraception prevent human embryos from being implanted in a woman's womb, which the plaintiffs equate with abortion.
That includes Plan B contraception, which some have called the "morning after" pill, and intrauterine devices or IUDs used by an estimated 2 million American women.
A key issue for the bench was interpreting a 1993 federal law requiring the government to seek the "least burdensome" and narrowly tailored means for any law that interferes with religious convictions.
Monday's decision comes two years after the justices allowed the law's "individual mandate" to go into effect.
That provision requires most Americans to get health insurance or pay a financial penalty. It is seen as the key funding mechanism to ensure near-universal health coverage.
Under the Affordable Care Act, financial penalties of up to $100 per day, per employee can be levied on firms that refuse to provide comprehensive health coverage. Hobby Lobby, which has about 13,000 workers, estimates the penalty could cost it $475 million a year.
The church-state issue now in the spotlight involves rules negotiated between the Obama administration and various outside groups. Under the changes, churches and houses of worship are completely exempt from the contraception mandate.
Other nonprofit, religiously affiliated groups, such as church-run hospitals, parochial schools and charities must either offer coverage or have a third-party insurer provide separate benefits without the employer's direct involvement. Lawsuits in those cases are pending in several federal appeals courts.
Second generation
Monday's decision could signal how the court will approach other lawsuits against the health care law.
"We're now getting the second generation of challenges to Obamacare– about the actual adoption of the statute, and its core provisions," said Goldstein. "We're probably going to see cases over the next five to ten years, as more and more details about the law get put into effect."

Setting up Samba as a Domain Member
A Samba domain member is a Linux machine joined to a domain that is running Samba and does not provide domain services, such as an NT4 primary domain controller (PDC) or Active Directory (AD) domain controller (DC).
On a Samba domain member, you can:
- Use domain users and groups in local ACLs on files and directories.
- Set up shares to act as a file server.
- Set up printing services to act as a print server.
- Configure PAM to enable domain users to log on locally or to authenticate to local installed services.
For details about setting up a Samba NT4 domain or Samba AD, see Domain Control.
Preparing the Installation
General Preparation
- Verify that no Samba processes are running:
# ps ax | egrep "samba|smbd|nmbd|winbindd"
- If the output lists any
nmbd, or
winbinddprocesses, shut down the processes.
- If you previously run a Samba installation on this host:
- Remove the existing
smb.conffile. To list the path to the file, enter:
- Remove the existing
# smbd -b | grep "CONFIGFILE" CONFIGFILE: /usr/local/samba/etc/samba/smb.conf
- Remove all Samba database files, such as
*.ldbfiles. To list the folders containing Samba databases:
- Remove all Samba database files, such as
# smbd -b | egrep "LOCKDIR|STATEDIR|CACHEDIR|PRIVATE_DIR" LOCKDIR: /usr/local/samba/var/lock/ STATEDIR: /usr/local/samba/var/locks/ CACHEDIR: /usr/local/samba/var/cache/ PRIVATE_DIR: /usr/local/samba/private/
- Starting with a clean environment helps you to prevent confusion, and no files from your previous Samba installation are mixed with your new domain member installation.
Preparing a Domain Member to Join an Active Directory Domain
Configuring DNS
For details, see Linux and Unix DNS Configuration.
Configuring Kerberos
Samba supports Heimdal and MIT Kerberos back ends. To configure Kerberos on the domain member, set the following in your
/etc/krb5.conf file:
[libdefaults] default_realm = SAMDOM.EXAMPLE.COM dns_lookup_realm = false dns_lookup_kdc = true
The previous example configures Kerberos for the
SAMDOM.EXAMPLE.COM realm.
The Samba teams recommends not setting further parameters in the
/etc/krb5.conf file.
Configuring Time Synchronisation
Kerberos requires a synchronised time on all domain members. Thus it is recommended to set up an NTP client. For further details, see Configuring Time Synchronisation on a Unix Domain Member.
Local Host Name Resolution
When you join the host to the domain, Samba tries to register the host name in the AD DNS zone. For this, the
net utility must be able to resolve the host name using DNS or using a correct entry in the
/etc/hosts file.
To verify that your host name resolves correctly, use the
getent hosts command. For example:
# getent hosts M1 10.99.0.5 M1.samdom.example.com M1
The host name and FQDN must not resolve to the
127.0.0.1 IP address or any other IP address other than the one used on the LAN interface of the domain member.
If no output is displayed or the host is resolved to the wrong IP address and you are not using dhcp, set the correct entry in the
/etc/hosts file. For example:
127.0.0.1 localhost 10.99.0.5 M1.samdom.example.com M1
If you are using dhcp, check that
/etc/hosts only contains the '127.0.0.1' line shown above. If you continue to have problems, contact the sysadmin who controls your DHCP server.
- On debian related systems you will also see the line
127.0.1.1 hostnamein /etc/hosts, remove it before you install samba.
- Please keep the line :
127.0.0.1 localhost
if you need to add aliases to the machine hostname, add them to the end of the line that starts with the machines ipaddress, not the 127.0.0.1 line.
Preparing a Domain Member to Join an NT4 Domain
For joining a host to an NT4 domain, no preparation is required.
Installing Samba
For details, see Installing Samba.
|Install a maintained Samba version. For details, see Samba Release Planning.
Configuring Samba
Setting up a Basic
smb.conf File
Before joining the domain, configure the domain member's
smb.conf file:
- To locate the file, enter:
# smbd -b | grep CONFIGFILE CONFIGFILE: /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf
- Edit the
smb.conffile and set the following configuration:
security = ADS
workgroup = SAMDOM
realm = SAMDOM.EXAMPLE.COM
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
log level = 1
# Default ID mapping configuration for local BUILTIN accounts
# and groups on a domain member. The default (*) domain:
# - must not overlap with any domain ID mapping configuration!
# - must use a read-write-enabled back end, such as
# - Adding just this is not enough
# - You must set a DOMAIN backend configuration, see below
idmap config * : backend = tdb
idmap config * : range = 3000-7999
- For information on the parameters, see the
smb.conf(5)man page.
- You must add an ID mapping configuration, for each domain that you want Samba to be aware of, to the
[global]section of your
- You must click on one of the following hyperlinks to find information about the Samba domain back ends:
Back End Documentation Man Page
idmap config ad
idmap config rid
idmap config autorid
idmap config hash
idmap config ldap
idmap config nss
Add an additional ID mapping configuration for every domain. The ID ranges of the default (
*) domain and other domains configured in the
smb.conffile must not overlap.
Mapping the Domain Administrator Account to the Local
root User
Samba enables you to map domain accounts to a local account. Use this feature to execute file operations on the domain member's file system as a different user than the account that requested the operation on the client.
|Mapping the domain administrator to the local
root account is optional. Only configure the mapping if the domain administrator must be able to execute file operations on the domain member using
root permissions.
To map the domain administrator to the local
root account:
- Add the following parameter to the
[global]section of your
username map = /usr/local/samba/etc/user.map
- Create the
/usr/local/samba/etc/user.mapfile with the following content:
!root = SAMDOM\Administrator
When using the
adID mapping back end, do not set the
uidNumberattribute for the domain administrator account. If the account has the attribute set, the value overrides the local UID
0of the
rootuser and thus the mapping fails.
For further details, see
username map parameter in the
smb.conf(5) man page.
Joining the Domain
- To join the host to an Active Directory (AD), enter:
# net ads join -U administrator Enter administrator's password: Passw0rd Using short domain name -- SAMDOM Joined 'M1' to dns domain 'samdom.example.com'
- To join the host to an NT4 domain, enter:
# net rpc join -U administrator Enter administrator's password: Passw0rd Joined domain SAMDOM.
|Do not provision or join a domain member using the
samba-tool utility. These options are unsupported and can cause problems with your AD replication. The options will be removed from
samba-tool in a future release.
If you have problems joining the domain, check your configuration. For further help, see Troubleshooting Samba Domain Members.
Configuring the Name Service Switch
To enable the name service switch (NSS) library to make domain users and groups available to the local system:
- Append the
winbindentry to the following databases in the
passwd: files winbind group: files winbind
- Keep the
filesentry as first source for both databases. This enables NSS to look up domain users and groups from the
/etc/groupfiles before querying the Winbind service.
- Keep the
- Do not add the
winbindentry to the NSS
shadowdatabase. This can cause the
wbinfoutility fail.
- Do not add the
Do not use the same user names in the local
/etc/passwdfile as in the domain.
- If you compiled Samba, add symbolic links from the
libnss_winbindlibrary to the operating system's library path. For details, see libnss_winbind Links. If you used packages to install Samba, the link is usually created automatically.
Starting the Services
To start the services on a domain member:
- Start the
winbinddservice to enable the name service switch (NSS) library to look up domain users and groups:
# winbindd
- If you set up file shares or printer services on the domain member, additionally start the
# smbd # nmbd
You must not start the
sambaservice on a domain member. This service is required only on Active Directory (AD) domain controllers (DC).
Samba does not provide System V init scripts,
upstart, or service files for other init services.
- If you installed Samba using packages, use the script or service configuration file provided by the package to start Samba.
- If you built Samba, see your distribution's documentation for how to create a script or configuration to start services.
Testing the Winbindd Connectivity
Sending a Winbindd Ping
To verify if the Winbindd service is able to connect to Active Directory (AD) Domain Controllers (DC) or a primary domain controller (PDC), enter:
# wbinfo --ping-dc checking the NETLOGON for domain[SAMDOM] dc connection to "DC.SAMDOM.EXAMPLE.COM" succeeded
If the previous command fails, verify:
- That the
winbinddservice is running.
- Your
smb.conffile is set up correctly.
Using Domain Accounts and Groups in Operating System Commands
Looking up Domain Users and Groups
libnss_winbind library enables you to look up domain users and groups. For example:
- To look up the domain user
# getent passwd SAMDOM\\demo01 SAMDOM\demo01:*:10000:10000:demo01:/home/demo01:/bin/bash
- To look up the domain group
Domain Users:
# getent group "SAMDOM\\Domain Users" SAMDOM\domain users:x:10000:
Assigning File Permissions to Domain Users and Groups
The name service switch (NSS) library enables you to use domain user accounts and groups in commands. For example to set the owner of a file to the
demo01 domain user and the group to the
Domain Users domain group, enter:
# chown "SAMDOM\\demo01:SAMDOM\\domain users" file.txt
Setting up Additional Services on the Domain Member
On a Samba domain member, you can additionally set up:
- File shares to act as a file server. For details, see Samba File Serving.
- Print services to act as a print server. For details, see Print Server Support.
- PAM authentication of domain users for local services. For details, see Authenticating Domain Users Using PAM.
For details, see Troubleshooting Samba Domain Members.

RICHMOND, Virginia: A U.S. federal judge has ruled that Gruyere cheese does not have to come from the Gruyere region of Europe to be sold under the name "Gruyere."
After the federal Trademark Trials and Appeals Board denied an application for trademark protection, a consortium of Swiss and French cheesemakers from the region around the town of Gruyeres, Switzerland, sued at U.S. District Court in Virginia.
The consortium stressed that gruyere has been produced in the region since the early 12th century, and cheese made outside the region cannot truly be called the same name, similar to the argument that champagne can only be used in naming sparkling wines from the Champagne region of France.
However, the U.S. Dairy Export Council and other groups opposed the trademark protection, noting that American consumers understand the gruyere name to be generic.
Last week, District Judge T.S. Ellis ruled against the European consortium, deciding that American consumers do not associate the gruyere name with cheese made specifically from that region, adding that while similar trademark protections have been granted to Roquefort cheese and Cognac brandy, Ellis said the same case cannot be made for gruyere.
He also highlighted that the Food and Drug Administration regulates the use of the gruyere name and no requirements specify its place of origin.
The ruling has been appealed by the consortium.
According to Shawna Morris, senior vice president for trade policy with the U.S. Dairy Export Council, the legal battle over gruyere is one in a growing number of efforts in Europe to gain international trade protection for various products, including gorgonzola, asiago and feta cheese.
The consortium has not replied to an email seeking comment, but in court papers its lawyers argued that Swiss and French gruyere is "painstakingly made from local, natural ingredients using traditional methods that assure the connection between the geographic region and the quality and characteristics of the final product."
Allowing others to use the gruyere name would confuse American consumers, they claimed.

Gfsecret - Secret sharing tools
Gfsecret is a set of tools to facilitate secret sharing according to the Adi Shamir's secret sharing scheme.
Two tools are provided: gfsec-split will split a file into several shares, and gfsec-use will reconstruct the original file from some of the shares.
Share URIs
Both tools use the concept of a share URI, which is a way of describing a share with a URI-like syntax. The gfsec-split program uses them to know where to dispatch the generated shares, and gfsec-use uses them to know where to search for shares in order to reconstruct the original file.
A share URI has the following form:
The scheme part indicates the method to use to access the share, and
can be
file (to access a share on the local filesystem),
label (to
access a share on an external volume identified by its label),
(to access a share on an external volume identified by its UUID),
(to access a share on a MTP-compliant device identified by its serial
number), or
http or
https (to access a share on a remote web
The authority part identifies the storage device. It's the volume's
label when using the
label:// scheme, its UUID when using the
uuid:// scheme, the device's serial number when using the
scheme, and the hostname when using the
http(s):// scheme. In the
file:// scheme, that part should be empty.
The path part is the pathname to the share file on the device.
Finally, the parameters part, which is optional, may specify options
key=value pairs. Currently, valid options are
sha256, which
specifies a SHA2-256 hash that the share should match, and
which indicates that the corresponding share is not actually a share but
contains the whole secret.
The gfsec-split program allows to split a file into M shares, dispatch them at distinct locations (including external storage devices), then delete the original file.
The program takes the path to the file to split as its first positional argument. The remaining positional arguments are URIs describing the shares to create using the URI syntax described above.
Consider the following example:
gfsec-split -n 2 \
/home/alice/mysecret \
file:///home/alice/.local/share/gfsecret/mysecret \
label://USBSTICK/mysecret \
This will split the file
/home/alice/mysecret into three shares: one
in Alice's home directory on the local filesystem, one on a USB storage
device with the label
USBSTICK, and one on a MTP-compliant device with
the serial number
RF2GB6X704P. Two shares will be needed to
reconstruct the original file, which means in this case that one of the
two removable devices will have to be present.
Note that the shares need not to have the same basename than the original file.
Once the file is split, gfsec-split will delete the original file
(unless you used the
-k option), and will create a configuration file
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gfsecret/mysecret (or at any location specified by
-c option) which could later be used by gfsec-use.
If you move the shares around after they have been generated, you should take care of updating that configuration file, otherwise gfsec-use will be unable to fetch the shares.
As a convenience, before splitting you may call gfsec-split with the
-l option to list the available external volumes and their
identifiers. Alternatively, the
-i option may be used to both list
the available volumes and select those to use in an interactive menu.
The gfsec-use program allows to temporarily reconstruct a split file from shares that have been dispersed on several external devices.
The program needs a configuration file (by default,
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gfsecret/default.conf) which describes the shared
secret. If the original file has been split using the gfsec-split
program, the configuration file will have been automatically generated.
For example, here is the configuration file that could have been generated by the example above:
With such a configuration, gfse-use will attempt to reconstruct the
/home/alice/mysecret, using at least two of the three available
shares: one available on the local filesystem, one on a USB storage
device with the label
MYSTICK, and one on a MTP-compliant device with
the serial number
RF2GB6X704P. Gfsec-use will automatically detect
which devices are currently connected and will fetch from them the
corresponding shares.
Once the secret file has been reconstructed (if enough shares are available), gfsec-use will spawn a new shell (or any other program specified on its command line). When the shell (or the user-specified command) terminates, the reconstructed secret file will be automatically deleted.
Gfsecret depends on the following libraries at compile-time:
- libgfshare, which implements the secret sharing scheme proper (mandatory);
- libgcrypt, for the SHA-256 implementation and random number generation (mandatory);
- GIO, to access shares stored on external volumes (typically USB storage) (optional);
- libmtp, to access shares stored on MTP-compliant devices (optional).
- libcurl, to access shares stored on remote web servers (optional).
Gfsecret is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 3 or higher. The full license is included in the COPYING file of the source distribution.

The Chug Norris is designed to be the ultimate popper! Designed to capture all of the best attributes of a popper, years of experience and effort went into designing the ideal shape for a popper. The Chug Norris was designed to take the least amount of effort to achieve maximum results, it makes that awesome thumping 'pop' as the cup catches the waters surface. It sticks to the waters surface, reducing the dreaded popper tumble and it casts like a bullet. When subsurface the Chug Norris displays an awesome swimming action that just makes fish go wild The ultra deep cup face designed round at the bottom and square at the top, and curved body contours may not be the noticed at first, but these subtle attributes are what makes this lure unique. The Black Mamba colour caught a 60KG GT in its first week of testing at Jewell Reef in September of 2014, and has since developed a cult following among Nomad guides and guests. Built from a new HD ABS plastic with the highest strength to weight ratio you'll find in any lure manufacturing material. The 180mm/120g size features an extra thick outer shell and stainless steel metal plate, the body is then filled with foam for the ultimate in strength and durability. The smaller 120mm/40g size, still retains the extra thick outer shell, and comes equipped with a stainless steel through wired design which we have tested to be the strongest on the market. This lure might even be tougher than the bloke it was named after. We think you'll love it! All Nomad Design Lures come fitted with the highest quality super strong BKK hooks, chosen to balance perfectly with each lure, and provide exceptional swimming actions and hookup rates for all species. Nomad Design Lures can be fished straight out of the box with confidence.

I am a pro at front end development but am just now starting on a project that requires first time usage for me of Python/Django/Github as well as MySQL (which I used one time before about four years ago). I have a lot of this set up but have a few newbie questions to ask to get things going for myself here on my own local machine. Would someone be willing to gmail chat with me to help me spread my own wings here or is it preferred that I ask all my questions within the public forum here? I can do it either way. This will just be a matter of finishing off a jigsaw puzzle that is about 85% complete.
Public forum is best, mostly because then the conversation is available to all.
However SitePoint's Python/Perl section doesn't seem to get much traffic. The Perl I can see, but why Python isn't discussed so much, I have no idea.
You are working with a Django project that already exists on github? Re the mysql: unless there's a way around it I don't know (and I'm a Django newb), you'll pretty much always be interfacing with Django's API instead of directly with teh DB (Django makes it seem as if you're working with an object-database instead of a relational db).
You might as well also mention what you've got right now on your local machine. Also whether the team you're with prefers you do things in a virtualenv or with a particular version of Python or whatever.
Looks like they want it in a virtualenv but I don't even know how to create one. Every time I ask them a question to clarify things their answer actually brings up more questions.
If somebody will help me get this done through a chat I can paste the contents of the completed chat back into this thread.
What I'm having trouble with now is getting my system to recognize the path to my Python install. I have precisely followed the directions found here:
yet when trying install the Python setup tools it keeps saying Python is not found in the registry.
Oh man, Windows.
Before anything else, is it possible you have a *nix box lying around to use for this project? Everything I do with Django, Python, github, etc is done via the commandline, plus every once in a great while there's something where either there's no Windows version of it, or it works poorly.
Also do you have the version of Windows these instructions reference, or Win7? Are you 32bit or 64bit? I've already found mention of some issues on StackOverflow when searching around.
Virtualenv is pretty nice to have, especially if you're either working on many projects who each need their own version of Python, or working on a *nix machine which has a (different) system Python. With virtualenv, you get a special sandbox with a local Python (so if your system Python was 2.6 and you were working on a project which required 2.7 and another project which needed 3.0+, you could make a virtualenv with Python 2.7 and another with 3.0 while the rest of your system remains untouched. Similarly you can also exclude your system Python packages and only have local packages available… especially good if you need to simulate getting something working on some client's machine who doesn't have the same packages default that you have on your machine).
If nobody here on SitePoint offers to do a chat (I really can't figure anything on Windows), you might want to use the various python irc channels for getting your path etc set up. *nix does this automagically so I've never once had to manually change my PATH variable (yet, fingers crossed).
I'm actually right now setting up a laptop for installing a fresh Django so I'm going to be going through all the motions again (on Debian Linux) today.
Just happened to run across this article on LinkedIn's Python Community: http://pythoncentral.org/how-to-install-python-2-7-on-windows-7-python-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command
You don't have that error, but if you're running Win7 it does show a step-by-step to graphically setting your PATH for Python.
Thanks for the responses, Stomme poes. I finally got the path to Python working but now when I try to do "python manage.py runserver" I get the following response:

-would Django rather DATABASE_HOST is set to 'localhost' instead of '127.0.0.1'?
-you've checked Windows firewall isn't blocking that port? or, that Django is really given access to that port?
Again, I hope someone who knows Windows shows up because I'm not familiar with it.
Have you added the Django calls to your environment variables?

Hospitals: Feds share billing blame
A threat from Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice to crack down on questionable Medicare billing has drawn a fairly strong rejoinder from two major hospital groups who say federal regulators deserve part of the blame.
The Association of Academic Health Centers sent a letter Tuesday to HHS and DOJ echoing complaints from the American Hospital Association that the industry doesn't have adequate guidelines on billing for some of the most common services. The hospitals said they had repeatedly asked for such information to no avail — and that the problem has gotten worse with the proliferation of electronic health records.
"Those concerns have only been exacerbated by the increased uptake of electronic health records and the rapid changes in the delivery system necessary to accommodate more sophisticated technology," AAHC President Steven Wartman wrote.
On Monday, HHS and DOJ sent a letter to five major hospital groups warning them not to use electronic health records to "game the system" and boost their revenues. The scathing HHS/DOJ letter came just days after a New York Times story analyzing Medicare data suggested hospitals and physicians were using electronic health records to illicitly pad federal reimbursement by exaggerating the scope of services they provided. The Center for Public Integrity this month also published a detailed series on billing and "upcoding" that also examined the role of electronic health records and the related billing software.
Those stories added to the questions about the value of the billions of dollars the Obama administration has sent to hospitals and providers to accelerate the use of health IT — all with the idea that the technology would improve the quality of care while reducing administrative waste and duplication.
Both the AHA and AAHC also complained about Medicare Recovery Audit contractors, which the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services hire to review billings. The so-called recovery audit contractors have long been accused of being overzealous, in part because they are paid a percentage of improper payments that they identify, even if those payments are reduced or overturned on appeal.
"No one questions the need for auditors to identify billing mistakes, but the flood of new auditing programs, such as Recovery Audit Contractors, [Medicare Administrative Contractors] and others, is drowning hospitals with a deluge of redundant audits, unmanageable medical record requests and inappropriate payment denials," AHA President Rich Umbdenstock wrote Monday night.
Other hospital groups held their fire in response to the Obama administration's letter, which promised it wouldn't be shy to flex its enforcement muscles to prosecute health care fraud.
The Association of American Medical Colleges, for instance, provided a statement to POLITICO that said its members have "robust compliance programs" and recommends the billing rules, written in the days of paper records, be revised to reflect the electronic age.
The National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems said it "shared" the government's goal of achieving high-quality, affordable care and pledged its willingness to work alongside the administration, an offer made by the other groups as well. "Our hospitals and health systems adhere to high ethical standards and reject practices that might result in fraudulent or other improper claims," the NAPH statement reads. "We stand ready to help regulators understand fully the many aspects of electronic health record use in the hospital setting as they consider actions to ensure proper billing practices."
The Federation of American Hospitals, which represents investor-owned hospitals, did not respond to a request for comment.

New research shows PET imaging effective in predicting lung cancer outcomes
Advanced imaging with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan shows great promise in predicting which patients with inoperable lung cancer have more aggressive tumors and need additional treatment following standard chemotherapy/radiation therapy, according to new research recently published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
The multi-site trial, led by study author and principal investigator Mitch Machtay, MD, University Hospitals Case Medical Center Seidman Cancer Center, enrolled 250 patients at 60 cancer centers around the country. The National Cancer Institute-funded trial, led by the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ACRIN) in collaboration with Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG), enrolled 250 patients at 60 cancer centers around the country.
"Lung cancer remains the number one cancer killer in the United States. These findings have the potential to give cancer physicians a new tool to more effectively tailor treatments for patients with locally advanced lung cancer," says Dr. Machtay, Chairman of Radiation Oncology at UH Case Medical Center and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. "This cooperative group study determined that the PET scan can show us which patients have the most aggressive tumors, potentially enabling us to intensify their treatment."
A PET scan is a unique type of imaging test that reveals physiologic processes in organs such as the lung. Unlike other types of medical imaging that display the body's structure, PET shows changes in metabolic and chemical activity caused by actively growing cancer cells. The scan visualizes areas of greater intensity, called "hot spots," and lights them up to help physicians pinpoint the disease.
In this study, stage III lung cancer patients had PET scans before and after a combined treatment regimen of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. They measured how rapidly tumors absorb a radioactive sugar molecule (known as FDG). Since most cancer cells take up sugar at a higher rate than normal cells, areas of tumor typically light up brightly on PET scans.
The researchers found that the post-treatment scan was predictive for patients' prognosis by identifying that patients with high levels of FDG uptake following treatment had more aggressive tumors that were more likely to recur. The researchers found that the higher the standard uptake value (SUV) for FDG in the primary tumor, the greater the recurrence rate and the lower the survival rate of patients.
The results also showed that there was a strong correlation between the radiation dose intensity and local control of the cancer, indicating that further research needs to be conducted in radiation technology for lung cancer
"This is one of the largest studies-of-its kind to show that PET scans have great potential in predicting the prognosis for patients with inoperable lung cancer," says Dr. Machtay. "It supports the theory that PET scans add an important new dimension to a physician's ability to determine which patients need additional cancer therapies to best manage their disease."

Several antennas in one: a major innovation for mobile communications
Scientists at EPFL have developed a single antenna that is capable of transmitting the same data as a two-antenna system. This achievement will be more than useful for future communication systems.
How can the challenges presented by the ever-growing number of wireless mobile devices and the demand for increasingly high data be met without increasing energy consumption and emission power? Currently MIMO (multiple-input, multiple outputs) uses several antennas to transmit and receive signals. This technique is progressively being implemented in devices such as wireless modems and is to be used for the next generation of mobile phones. However, it poses problems because it is costly and difficult to integrate into hardware.
At EPFL, Julien Perruisseau-Carrier's group has demonstrated that a single antenna can simultaneously transmit two separate signals that have the same throughput as a MIMO solution. The results were published at the beginning of the year, and part of the new findings will be presented by Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, at the IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation in Chicago, at the beginning of July.
The problems of a multi-antenna system
In a MIMO system, antennas generally have to be placed at a certain distance from each other, which makes inserting them into mobile and miniature devices a complicated process. An even greater problem with this technique is that each separate transmitting antenna must have its own encoding and amplifying signal device, which is costly and energy-consuming.
One antenna, two signals
As part of collaboration with researchers from Athens Information Technology (AIT), Julien Perruisseau-Carrier's team developed an antenna capable of emitting simultaneously two information flows, transmitting two independent signals with the same throughput, just as two antennas would do in a MIMO system. This technique called "Beamspace MIMO" allows to significantly reduce the number of physical antennas.
Contrary to what one might think, an antenna does not emit signals in a homogeneous and circular manner. Instead, the repartition of the antenna's radiation is called "radiation pattern." Scientists have managed to decompose this pattern in two, allowing simultaneous emission of two distinct information flows.
Another advantage of this technique is that only one coding and amplifying device is required to treat the first information flow. The second signal is treated only upstream and then used to make the radiation pattern decomposable. The latter signal acts therefore both as an information carrier and as a mean to decompose the principal pattern. "This technique allows us to get rid of part of the usual hardware," says Julien Perruisseau-Carrier. The process is however difficult and complex. "One of the biggest challenges is to ensure that each pattern is really independent, to allow an efficient treatment of the information."
Success thanks to a global approach
The results were obtained through a cross-disciplinary approach. "This work required us to look at both antennas, particularly reconfigurable ones, and radio coding. Although they are closely linked, these two disciplines are unfortunately often considered separately, which hinders this kind of innovative work," explains the scientist.
Julien Perruisseau-Carrier and his doctoral student Moshen Yousefbeiki are now focusing on a new antenna prototype that will be much more compact and adapted to small mobile devices, such as cell phones and miniature antennas that can be implanted for medical purposes.

Nevermind copyright for the moment. I want to look instead at creators' rights.
A federal judge just ruled against CleanFlicks' sanitizing of movies, editing out the allegedly naughty bits and then selling cleansed copies. The judge said this was a violation of copyright. The Salt Lake Tribune's coverage adds: "The ruling does not affect another Utah company, ClearPlay, which has developed technology in DVD players that edits movies on the fly as they play." So this ruling does come down to copyright — the right to copy — yet it also raises other issues.
Out of this news comes to opposing views from two web authors. (I love it when that happens. The web should be a neverending Oxford debate; may the best argument win.) Nick Gillespie, editor of Reason, takes CleanFlicks' side, arguing that it's our right to remix. Infotainment rules, on the other hand, argues that in this case copyright is a good thing for it is keeping bad things from happening to creative work.
I'm not entirely sure where I come down (yes, mark this day in your history books). On the one hand, I'm encouraging media people to submit their creations to the great remix out there: If you're remixed, you're part of the conversation, I say, and the conversation is the new distribution. But on the other hand, I would hate it if something I created under my name were mangled: I hate editors; that's why I blog.
So get past the rights of ownership to the rights of authorship. When you create something, what rights should you have — ethically and legally — to maintain your creation in its full form, to protect your ideas and thoughts from bastardization?
When I wrote for People magazine, way back when, I wrote a favorable review of Concealed Enemies, a PBS miniseries. As I told the story here, the then editor-in-chief of Time Inc. took it upon himself to change not just the words but the opinions in my review (to make it favorable to his friend and mentor, Whitaker Chambers). He tried to put opinions that were not mine under my name. I said I would resign rather than let that happen. I saw it as a journalistic and ethical right to protect my views and my reputation with them. I won, by the way.
So what if someone took something I wrote here and changed my opinions utterly? What if the so-called Parents Television Council took a post of mine and made me an enemy of the First Amendment and Howard Stern? What if Dell made me into a satisfied customer?
Steven Spielberg wouldn't allow so much as one "fuck" to be taken out of his Saving Private Ryan and that's why some stations refused to be caught in a vice between him and the threat of an FCC fine and so they didn't air the movie. Was that Spielberg's right? I'd say so. He would rather that his movie not be seen than mangled by someone else.
So in one sense, the CleanFlicks decision is just a copyright fight: You can't copy and sell a movie. But it raises these issues of authors' rights. And so does that other technology that takes out the dirty bits for you.
But on the other hand, if you bought a DVD of Private Ryan, don't you have some rights of use and ownership? Couldn't you hit a dump button every time the F bomb is dropped if your kids are in the room? How do your rights of ownership clash with Spielberg's rights of authorship and ownership?
And what if you're a TV station reporting on the controversy over Ryan and you go into the movie and compile all the scenes with no-no words but show it on the air with bleeps. You do this to avoid FCC fines. Or what if you're a comedy news show and you take all the bleep words and turned them into jokes: "Motherflower… Goddogged…" You do this to make fair comment on something in the news.
All this is timely around here as I talk about the need to reinvent the book, not to mention the rest of media; the need to get into a conversation; the need to be collaborative, the benefit of the remix; the value of the direct link. And the question often is raised: What is the role of the author in this new world? In journalism, I say that the author becomes more of a moderator, and when you're seeking facts and information, that makes sense.
But in art, the author is the creator and has rights surrounding that creation. But that may change, too, as art itself becomes more collaborative. So what are the rights of the author? Do copyright and Creative Commons protect those rights? And what are the ethics of the remix? Is linking to the original sufficient? Is permission required? Is fair use a license to quote and thus to comment? Aren't selection and alteration forms of comment? What rights does the audience have to change? In an age of the permalink and the deep link and the ability to track and compile consumption, in an age when consumption becomes an act of creation, isn't that ability to just get to the good bits the audience likes a form of editing?
Here's what Gillespie says:
As a viewer, I am already acting as a "third-party editor" to Apted's–and every other directors'–films. As a writer, I can sympathize with Apted's sense of creative ownership and his fear of losing control of his work. . . .
But here's the rub. There is only unauthorized editing whenever a piece of culture is put in front of an audience. The individuals watching in the darkened theater, the family room, or on a computer screen are constantly making choices, skipping over stuff, misinterpreting things, and more. The audience, alas, has a mind of its own, and that mind doesn't care about the creator's intentions. . . .
But the old model, in which a producer produces and an audience passively consumes culture, is over. To be completely honest, that old model was never the way culture worked anyway, but even the pretense of full artistic control is finished in today's environment, in which individuals have an ever-increasing ability to produce and consume culture on their own terms.
And here is Infotainment's argument:
In the conversation about the coming digital revolution in books, I argued that many authors will want to keep their books whole–not to cling to copyright for its own sake but rather because sometimes it is the integrity of the work that makes a particular book exceptional: it is of a piece, and every word is essential to making it what it is, so altering it takes something away from the work. Books like that exist. Let's say, for the sake of the argument, J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye and E.L. Doctorow's Ragtime. Others will have their own examples.
So too with films. Whether you're colorizing them to get eyeballs not used to black-and-white or chopping them up to make them Palatable for the Pious, you're destroying their integrity.
It's a valid argument, and an argument we need to be clear on–and one we will need to stand up for–as the digital revolution continues apace and the Moral Marauders start to take advantage of it
What's yours?

The subtitle of this Computer World report quotes Nicholas Negroponte as saying that insitence on Open Source scares people away.
I believe that without open source, the fundamental purpose of OLPC will fail, because it will create another generation of slaves to proprietary technologies and corporate largesse. In other words, it will perpetuate the status quo, rather than rearrange it.
The book The End of Poverty explains that there are several core capabilities that must be functional in order for those in poverty to reach the first rung of the economic improvement ladder. Like human beings, whole societies are not dependent upon one single factor, but are dependent upon a variety of factors, and sub-minimal coniditions in any one can create catastrophe. An all-out focus on clean water means nothing if there is no food, and vice-versa.
The great goal of OLPC was to provide a generation of children with an opportunity to become techincally self-sufficient–something that I have seen happening in the OLPC pilots, for real! In the framework of The End of Poverty, this goal aligns with the essential capability of creating intellectual capital. So what is happening? Why this talk of abandoning the seeds of technology freedom, and instead preparing to plant invasive proprietary technologies that the children will never be able to make their own?
I don't know.
Perhaps Negroponte has lost sight of his own original visionary statement, which was
This is not a laptop project. It's an education project.
I have no idea what pressures Negroponte is under. I have no idea what failures of leadership, vision, or courage have occurred, are occurring, or are at risk of occurring at the OLPC project today. It would be irresponsible to jump to too many conclusions based on a single article. But if OLPC abandons its open source roots, then I do not see the project accomplishing any of its goals. And while I can afford to throw away the three XO laptops I bought, the world cannot afford to throw away the goal of ending poverty in favor of preserving monopoly control of technology.

Please enter me in the drawings for the giveaway board and the Doctor Who print! Thanks!!ReplyDelete
I'd love to be entered for the general giveaway as well as the Steampunk Girl one!ReplyDelete
Either print would be great
These posts always brighten my day. I recently went to the local anime convention and my favorite part was seeing all the beautiful artwork!ReplyDelete
The TARDIS is swoon worthy!!ReplyDelete
Want it all, jaw dropping creativity.ReplyDelete
I love the dragon print! Who says no to chocolate?
Please enter me in the drawings for the giveaway board and the steampunk octopus!
Thank you.
Some truly fantastic stuff this month! As far as the bonus ones, DOCTOR WHO! DOCTOR WHO! DOCTOR WHO!
Um, uh, er.... Sorry about that. I got a wee bit excited there. :O
I love it all!ReplyDelete
I appreciate your enthusiasm in sharing stuff that makes you smile. I'm partial to Doctor Who, but I'd also like the steampunk octopus girl. My 13-year-old told me last night she'd like to create a steampunk costume for Halloween this year. Yay, her!ReplyDelete
I adore the steampunk octopus- I have a nearly identical ceramic one that I painted (in it's prior life it was gaudy gold). I also love the Etsy and StoneEnvy toothless prints. All of the art you share is so wonderful!ReplyDelete
Thanks for doing this Jen. I appreciate you finding all this cool stuff.
I'd like to be in the drawing for the wild card and for the Doctor print.
Wow, awesome art! I love it all! Including the Steampunk Girl and Doctor Who ones. :)ReplyDelete
Wow! So many pieces have found new home since I was last looking. Thanks, Jen for sharing not just the art but the many new artists. As a new teacher I would love to decorate my room with any of these! Does everyone know that the steampunk girl with the octopus is you? ;)ReplyDelete
OMG that TARDIS! LOVE! Please enter me for the TARDIS!ReplyDelete
I love Hermione, she reminds me of something out of Calvin and Hobbes. Please enter me in all three drawings; I'd love to put Listen in my classroom!
Thanks for sharing!!
So many fun pieces, it's always hard to pick a favorite! Please enter my in the wildcard drawing :)ReplyDelete
The bee print is adorable! Thanks for finding yet more ways to use up my monies.... Both of the wildcard entries are great but I really like the Dr. Who.ReplyDelete
No one can buy ALL Isabelle's prints anymore, one of the ones I got was the last one in stock (sorry to the people who also had it in their carts!) Fantastic round up this month!! Please enter me for all the things!ReplyDelete
I don't think my comment posted, so apologies if this is a duplicate. I would love either the Steampunk Octopus or the Doctor Who piece. Thanks for sharing the art and the artists with us!ReplyDelete
Would love to win from the giveaway board - thanks for the joy :)ReplyDelete
Please enter me in all the drawings! Thank you!ReplyDelete
I love your art round ups! It's so fun to see what's being done out there. I love to show them to my geeky artist daughter, too. :) I'd love to be entered to win either print.ReplyDelete
Either Wonder Woman with the frizzy hair or the pretty Small-World looking Disney Castle with the tiny Walt and Mickey silhouettes.ReplyDelete
The Hermione, Dumbledore and Harry prints are so adorable! More of a playful and sweet take on them, more as you could envision them in the books! 😍ReplyDelete
Wildcard and steampunk octopus, please!ReplyDelete
LOL the bee totally reminds of my fat fuzzy bees tattoo. When I got them, I asked the artist to make them as fat and cute as possible :D
And that dragon print... the face! <3
I wanna see a continuation of that dragon and his chocolate, like he curiously sniffs it, takes a bite, then OM NOM NOMs it up. :DReplyDelete
I love you guys! Your blogs are the best and I am always putting stuff aside to send but by the time I get around to it, I may just have to rent a truck and drive the load down myself. I love your taste in art Jen and your style inspires me. I'd love either of those two prints. They've both been on my (grabby hands) want list if I ever managed to win one of these. I love Dr Who and I love Steampunk.ReplyDelete
Art! And I LOVE Steampunk Octopus, so please put me in the running for that one!ReplyDelete
As usual, you find the best stuff. I would love any of the prints, including the steampunk girl and the Dr. Who print :)ReplyDelete
That bee is killing me with cute!

I'm in love with the Hermione, and all of the ones from Isabelle Angell - they all look like they're part of Calvin & Hobbes' crew - the attitude, and that Calvin gleam in the eyes, lol! Any of the art is good for me, but I do especially like the Tardis print! Love you two, keep on doing you!
Martha Riche

I love the Octopus! We have a kind of octopus theme going on in the bathroom- laundry bags and my husband drew me an octopus with different pieces of clothing in each arm! Now we are adding a little bit of art to the bathroom, and this would fit right in!ReplyDelete
I love that dragon and Hermione!ReplyDelete
Oh I love these posts, although my wallet doesn't (heh). I'd love the steam punk cutie and the Tardis print also! That Betrayal dragon has won my heart though! So adorable! Fingers crossed she adds it to her store!!!ReplyDelete
I absolutely LOVE your art round up posts! How do you find such amazing art? I'm a huge fan of Etsy, but given the sheer volume it can be very difficult to find styles and content I truly enjoy. Any tips? Gmail is diana.karkow if you find some spare time to help a fellow art lover :) Oh, and the steampunk octopus is definitely the best!ReplyDelete
Everything this month (and probably next month, too) I found at MegaCon; conventions are AWESOME for finding new art. I also follow tons of artists on Instagram, who tend to recommend *their* favorites, so it snowballs. I almost never find new stuff organically on Etsy; it's too hard unless you're doing an extremely specific search for certain fandoms, and even then the search algorithm is a jerk and tends to hide things I *know* are there. Very frustrating!Delete
Those silhouettes are all incredible, and I love that poor dragon! Thanks for sharing!
Also, the dancing octopus is super neat :)
I'd love to be entered in the wildcard drawing!ReplyDelete
You always find the best art! I love them all!
I would love to be entered into the wildcard draw, please!
Please enter me for the Wildcard and the Tardis print. Xx

OMG, I love that Darth Vader. Also in love with Steampunk Girl and the TARDIS!!ReplyDelete
The dragon is so cute! I spotted several things on the art giveaway board that I'd love to win. Great geekery, as always, Jen!ReplyDelete
As always, this post is bad for my bank balance!ReplyDelete
"Told you so" is great - so atmospheric and haunting (with a beautiful black kitty). Sign me up for some Doctor Who!ReplyDelete
I love the steampunk octopusReplyDelete
