CodeMap® Compliance Briefing: December 19, 2013
Editor's Welcome:
Changes to the immunohistochemistry (IHC) codes in the 2014 CPT apparently prompted CMS to create 2 new HCPCS codes for IHC studies and to issue new instructions for coding IHC, FISH, and immunofluorescent procedures. Once again, CMS's new rules will mean less reimbursement for many laboratories. Today, we will discuss theses sometimes confusing rules, and how best to comply with applicable requirements of the Medicare program. Being as this is the last CodeMap® Compliance Briefing of 2013, all of us at CodeMap would like to wish you a Joyous Holiday Season.
Gregory Root, Esq.
New Coding Rules for IHC, FISH and Immunofluorescent Studies
by: Charles Root, Ph.D.
New Codes for IHC
The existing 2013 CPT code for IHC procedures is as follows:
In the 2014 CPT the above code was revised and a second new add-on code, 88343 was added to clarify that each separately identifiable antibody per block or slide may be reported. The new 2014 codes are:
New Medicare Coding Rules for IHC
However, CMS does not agree with the 2014 CPT code definitions and has created the following two new HCPCS codes which must be used for IHC procedures starting January 1, 2014:
Medicare has changed the unit of service from each antibody per block or slide to each antibody stain. CMS instructions state that:
"the unit of service for codes G0461 and G0462 is each antibody(s) stain (procedure) per specimen. If a single IHC stain (procedure) for one or more antibodies is performed on multiple blocks from a surgical specimen, multiple slides from a cytologic specimen, or multiple slides from a hematologic specimen, only one unit of service may be reported for each separate specimen. Pathologists should report only one unit of service per specimen for an IHC antibody(s) staining procedure even if the stain contains multiple separately interpretable antibodies. HCPCS code G0461 is reported for the first IHC stain on a specimen. HCPCS code G0462 is reported for each additional IHC stain on the same specimen."
For example, If 2 IHC stains, one containing 1 antibody, and one containing 3 antibodies are applied to two blocks from the same specimen, the following codes would be reported on Medicare claims:
No other units of service are reported since the codes are "per specimen" and both blocks are part of the same specimen.
However, unless otherwise instructed by the payer, providers should report the following codes to private payers for the above example:
The same instructions apply to Medicare procedures for reporting the number of antibodies for quantitative IHC procedures reported using the following CPT codes:
New Medicare Coding Rules for FISH Procedures
The following three codes describe FISH procedures:
Again, for Medicare procedures, the unit of service is each probe staining procedure per specimen. If a single probe staining procedure is performed on multiple blocks from a surgical specimen, multiple slides from a cytologic specimen, or multiple slides from a hematologic specimen, only one unit of service may be reported for each separate specimen. CPT codes 88365, 88367, or 88368 are reported per staining procedure per specimen even if a stain contains multiple separately interpretable probes.
Example 1: If 4 qualitative FISH stains, each containing 1 FISH probe, are applied to 4 separate slides from the same specimen block, the following codes would be reported to both Medicare and private payers:
Example 2: If a single stain containing 4 FISH probes was applied to the specimen block, the provider should report the following to Medicare:
However, the provider should report the following to private payers, unless otherwise instructed:
New Medicare Coding Rules for Immunofluorescent Studies
The following codes for immunofluorescent studies are also reported per stain, per specimen in the same way as IHC and FISH procedures.

Steady Breeze Ramped Up The Competition For Day 1 Of Audi Melges 20 2013 Winter Regatta In Miami
9 February 2013
Miami, FL - The 2013 Audi Melges 20 Miami Winter Series Event No. 2 hosted by Coconut Grove Sailing Club (CGSC) delivered an impeccable first day of racing with steady 10-15 knots of breeze, constant lead changes, and beautiful 80 degree weather. The fleet completed three of the five races scheduled with Paul Reilly's Red Sky Sailing Team taking the overall lead with a consistent 6-4-3 heading into the second and final day of racing.
The first race of the event went to Rob Wilber and his crew on Cinghiale. Wilber had a great start and took an early lead heading into the first mark. Wilber was in a constant battle with runner up Marc Hollerbach's Fu and third place finisher Ryan DeVos on Volpe. Wilber was able to keep his first place position all the way to the finish.
Race two gave a clean start with the exception to six boats OCS due to the shifty wind. Several boats reached the mark simultaneously with Reilly and DeVos looking to have good course position. The gate was a turning point as Michael Kiss on Bacio took the lead and extended for the win leaving the rest of the fleet far behind.
The third and final race of the day began with a course change due to a wind shift. John Brown's Blind Squirrel had a great start and lead the race at the mark. Richard Davies' Section 16 punched it into the gate, taking the lead where he would remain, landing a first place finish for the last race of the day. James Wilson's Oleander went head-to-head with Davies for the lead, but settled as runner up followed by the overall leader Reilly in third.
The complete Corinthian Division in Miami also enjoyed a great day of competitive racing. Daniel Theilman's Kuai remained consistent in the middle of the fleet and held strong to finish first in line. John Brown on Blind Squirrel came up with a huge fourth place finish overall in race three to land the day well positioned finishing as second Corinthian. John Arendshorst and team on Blink 20/20 also battled today with a great start in the second race of the day earning him a thirteenth which helped him solidify a third place position in the all-amatuer division.
Post racing the beer began to flow and food was set out to prepare for the much anticipated informative Melges USA debrief officiated by Andy Burdick with commentary from Owners Reilly, Richard Davies, Marc Hollerbach, and tacticians Sam Rogers, Chris Rast, and Jonathan Mckee. Racing will reconvene tomorrow for the final two races to the Audi Melges 20 Miami Winter Series Event No. 2. The breeze is expected to be even stronger and the competition is sure to remain fierce as 47 boats continue their run for a stop on the podium.
As with many previous Audi Melges 20 events in North America and around the world, racing updates will be posted online at the Official Class Blog. Tune-in regularly for the latest developments, conditions and results. Stay close to the Official Audi Melges 20 Facebook Page for photos and further commentary. Race reports, press releases and photos will be available online each day post racing at melges20.com.

I have no clue what in the universe I did to deserve this kind of treatment! The bone-rattling tempest held a steady 30 MPH with gusts probably double that on my journey to work. The first two legs of my journey were a test of my perserverence.
As I bear south onto Ridgeview, I'm punched in the chest with the force of a fire hose. I look at the flags that my apartment complex is flying. They're stiffly rippling to the north-northeast. I am going downhill, but should I stop pedaling, I will certainly be blown to a complete stop within a few yards. My -3% descent feels like +2% at least. I stay in the second chainring, hit the drops, tuck in, and work through the gears. I topped out around 17 MPH. That's weak, even for flat land.
I usually amass 30+ MPH on this 1/4 mile of asphalt to build momentum to help me conquer the 180 Beat Per Minute "wake up call" climb that lies ahead. From a dead standstill, I can usually slog up it in the lower 2 gears of my middle chainring. With a full head of steam from the speed ramp leading up to it, I can usually tackle the rise in the second, third, or even fourth gear of my middle ring.
Today, I hit the valley between the slopes at about 15 miles per hour, somewhere near the middle gear of my middle chainring. I remain crunched and shift down two sprockets to get my cadence up in anticipation of the wall ahead of me. I'm quickly met with opposition. I drop to the granny ring and get about 1/4 way up the hill before my legs run out of push. I clinch the hoods and downshift again and get a little further. I begin to strongly pull with my legs on the upstroke, something that I don't do too often. It gets me some more leverage but my speed keeps dropping. I downshift again and hop out of the saddle, still pushing and pulling, using my arms and core to keep the bike from flailing about. Swarms of gritty debris rips at my legs and face. I downshift again and now I'm totally grannied out as I approach the apex of the challenge I've conquered.
I get back into the middle ring for the slight descent and flat area that comprises the last 1/2 mile of my first leg. I wait for the stop light, and turn left.
Can anyone tell me what could possibly be more malevolent than a 30-60 MPH head wind?
Bueller? Bueller?
I'll tell you the answer. A 30-30 MPH cross wind is far more devious, far less predictable, and an order of magnitude more treacherous than a head wind of similar velocity, especially when that cross wind is left to its own devices with a vulnerable cyclist on a raised viaduct without anything to baffle the gale. My trusty panniers and beefy profile provide ample surface area for the breeze to exact its revenge against me. What crime had I committed to make me a just victim to its torture? To counter it, I leaned over to the right, at times 20-30 degrees from perpendicular to the concrete structure beneath me.
The third and final stretch of my trip to the bus was actually aligned with the wind. My legs completely tapped, I hit 41.1 miles per hour (in a 35 MPH zone) on the flats. Then, and only then, for the first time since I set foot outside my apartment, did I feel calm, still air. Riding at that pace without feeling any resistance pressing against your face is a surreal and confusing experience. One mile is gone far too soon at that speed, and it hadn't nearly paid the debt for the two miles of pain and suffering that had preceded it.
I really, really hope this stuff calms down this afternoon.

Egad! The wind!

It was a workout indeed. Even if I'd wanted to hammer away I wouldn't have been able to; the path looked more like a brush pile in places than a bike/hike path. The winds even knocked down some mummified squirrels. It was nice yesterday when it was a tailwind...

i wonder, if one were to ride in side-winds like that with a disc-wheel, could they even stay on the bike??
like that old saying goes, "may the wind be at your back.."
- June 07, 2007 12:06 PM
Did you try riding downtown? The wind was stronger whipping around those buildings.
I saw a guy ridding north up Grand 14th to 13th with no hands. I yelled at him to watch the wind.

Using Wing with Webware
Wing is a Python IDE that can be used to develop, test, and debug Python code written for Webware, an open source web development framework. Two versions of Wing are appropriate for use with this document: Wing Pro is the full-featured Python IDE for professional programmers, and Wing Personal is a free alternative with reduced feature set.
If you do not already have Wing installed, download it now.
This document describes how to configure Wing for Webware. To get started using Wing as your Python IDE, please refer to the tutorial in Wing's Help menu or read the Quickstart Guide.
Wing allows you to graphically debug a Webware application as you interact with it from your web browser. Breakpoints set in your code from the IDE will be reached, allowing inspection of your running code's local and global variables with Wing's various debugging tools. In addition, in Wing Pro, the Debug Probe tab allows you to interactively execute methods on objects and get values of variables that are available in the context of the running web app.
There is more than one way to do this, but in this document we focus on an "in process" method where the Webware server is run from within Wing as opposed to attaching to a remote process. The technique described below was tested with Webware 0.9 and Python 2.4 on CentOS Linux. It should work with other versions and on other OSes as well. Your choice of browser should have no impact on this technique.
Setting up a Project
Though Wing supports the notion of "Projects" for organizing one's work for this debugging scenario you can use the Default Project and simply add your source code directory to it by using Add Directory from the Project menu.
You will also need to specify a Python Path in your Project Properties with something like following (your actual paths depend on your installation of Webware and OS):
Note that on Windows, the path separator should be ';' (semicolon) instead. The Webware MakeAppDir.py script creates a default directory structure and this example assumes that the source code is nested within this directory.
To debug your Webware app you'll actually be running the DebugAppServer and not the regular AppServer, so you'll need to bring in the Debug AppServer and a couple of other files with these steps:
- Copy the DebugAppServer.py, ThreadedAppServer.py, and Launch.py from the WebKit directory and put them in the root of the directory that MakeAppDir.py created.
- Right click on Launch.py in Wing's editor and select the menu choice File Properties. Click the Debug tab and enter DebugAppServer.py in the Run Arguments field. If you're using the default project then leave the initial directory and build command settings as they are.
- If you need to modify the version of Python you're running, you can change the Python Executable on the Environment tab of this debug properties window, or project-wide from the Project Properties.
- Optionally, after adding Launch.py to the project, use the Set Main Debug File item in the Debug menu to cause Wing to always launch this file when debug is started, regardless of which file is current in the editor.
Starting Debug
To debug, press the green Debug icon in the toolbar. If you did not set a main debug file in the previous section, you must do this when Launch.py is the current file.
The file properties dialog will appear. Optionally, deselect Show this dialog before each run. If you do this you can access the dialog again later by right clicking on the file in Wing's editor and selecting Properties.
Click OK to start the debug process. The Debug I/O tool will show output from the Webware process as it starts up. What you will see there depends upon your Webware application and server settings, but you should see some log messages scroll by. If there is a path or other kind of problem as the debugging process proceeds errors will display in the Debug I/O tool or in a pop-up error message in Wing if you have a missing library or run into another unhandled exception.
Once the process has started up, you will be able to access web pages from your browser according to your configuration of Webware, just as you would when running the server outside of Wing.
Now for the fun part -- fire up your browser and go to the home page of your application. Go into the source file for any Python servlet in Wing and set a breakpoint somewhere in the code path that you know will be executed when a given page is requested. Navigate to that page in your browser and you should see the Wing program icon in your OS task bar begin to flash. (You'll see that the web page won't finish loading -- this is because the debugger has control now; the page will finish loading when you continue running your app by pressing the Debug icon in the toolbar).
Now you can make use of all of the powerful debugging functionality available in Wing instead of sprinkling your code with print statements.

Rep. Lamar Smith Decides Lying About, Insulting And Dismissing Opposition To SOPA Is A Winning Strategy
from the we-shall-see dept
"The criticism of this bill is completely hypothetical; none of it is based in reality," Smith said in a statement to Roll Call. "Not one of the critics was able to point to any language in the bill that would in any way harm the Internet. Their accusations are simply not supported by any facts."We've done exactly what he's claimed we haven't -- as have numerous other parties, including famed Constitutional scholar Laurence Tribe, who also cited specific language in the bill. Ditto with former DHS Assistant Secretary, Stewart Baker, who also cited language from the bill about how SOPA will cause significant security problems for the internet.
It makes you wonder: just who does Lamar Smith think he's fooling?
Does he really think that if he just keeps on repeating these blatant lies someone, somewhere, will believe them?
From there, he goes from the ridiculous to the absurd by claiming that the widespread outcry over SOPA is just a "vocal minority," rather than any legitimate movement against the bill:
"It's a vocal minority, he said. "Because they're strident doesn't mean they're either legitimate or large in number. One, they need to read the language. Show me the language. There's nothing they can point to that does what they say it does do. I think their fears are unfounded."Hundreds of thousands of letters sent? Nearly 90,000 calls in a single day? This is not a "vocal minority." This is a large and growing segment of the population who is very, very concerned. And, they have shown him the language, contrary to his blatantly false claims. Dismissing the concerns of pretty much the entire tech sector and their users (not to mention the folks over at Reddit...) doesn't seem wise. It seems like someone who doesn't understand the internet, not just in trying to regulate it, but in how the internet can be used to rally support against those who seek to damage it.

Government energy and economic experts expressed enthusiasm about the continued growth of ethanol markets and the potential of other renewable fuels at the American Farm Bureau Federation's 88th annual meeting.
Keith Collins, USDA chief economist, addressed the booming demand for ethanol, while Carol Tombari of the Energy Department, emphasized the economic opportunities renewable fuels present to farmers and ranchers, as well as the potential to temper the impact of rising fuel costs with alternative energy sources.
Tombari said the United States' reliance on foreign oil and an overextended system of electrical grids pose numerous risks to human health, the environment and domestic energy security.
She said while electric energy and the central station power plants used to produce it will always be part of the energy equation, by embracing alternatives, growers can improve their energy efficiency and perhaps even profit.
"There is no technology silver bullet," Tombari said. "But is there a silver buckshot? Yes."
Among the energy efficiency opportunities available to farmers are biomass energy produced from wood, crops and manure, and solar water and space heating.
Tombari also suggested farmers and ranchers consider harvesting wind for energy.
"Wind doesn't always blow, but it is highly predictable," she said.
Along with reducing energy costs on an operation, windmills can also be a business opportunity when farmers create cooperatives or even go solo in providing energy to others.
Collins spoke in-depth about biofuels, particularly ethanol. "All of a sudden, this market is really taking off," he said.
Not surprisingly, the resulting increased demand for corn has somewhat tightened corn stocks, driving prices up. "Usually, tight stocks are because of scaled-back production," he noted. "Now it's because of demand."
While Collins was hesitant to predict future production levels, he pointed to the ramp-up in capacity in the last half of 2006, during which time capacity grew from 7.6 billion gallons to 11.4 billion gallons.
Collins said that ethanol returns will continue to be strong, encouraging production, but the next three to four years will be a critical period of adjustments in the ethanol industry, and in the livestock industry because of higher feed prices.
Collins said even during an unpredictable period of adjustment, there are some events that can be counted on. Among them are growth in corn yield per acre, more corn acreage, higher corn prices, the development of new economically feasible feedstocks and products replacing some corn or meal in feed.
"Dried distillers grains (DDGs) have to improve in quality and be more easily digested," he said.
In an earlier session, Doug Rushing of Monsanto described a recently launched ethanol processing system that not only creates a new hog feed product, but produces improved DDGs.
The hog feed comes from lysine, which is extracted along with oil when the corn is processed for ethanol. The oil can be used as vegetable oil or for biodiesel. The process also results in 33 percent to 50 percent less DDGs. Rushing emphasized that the DDGs are higher quality than the byproduct of traditional ethanol corn processing.
The system, created by Renessen, a joint venture between Cargill and Monsanto, is being used at a recently opened pilot ethanol plant in Iowa.

Jimmie Johnson $48 Ticket Package
Already having built one of the most impressive résumés in NASCAR history, six-time defending Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson will spend his race morning with fans of all ages in an exclusive Q&A opportunity and a Lowe's Build & Grow Clinic for children before the Camping World RV Sales 301 on Sunday, July 13 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Johnson, the last Sprint Cup Series driver to win back-to-back races at the Magic Mile, is offering fans an opportunity for special ticket buyers to attend a Q&A and a special build-a-car workshop for children.
The $48 ticket package will include either two children's grandstand tickets or one adult grandstand ticket along with access to a special 15-minute Q&A session with Johnson. For each children's ticket, a Lowe's Build & Grow kit will be included for a hands on opportunity to build a wooden replica of the No. 48 Kobalt race car. A limited quantity of Build & Grow kits will be available on a first come/first serve basis, and will include aprons, goggles and hammers for assembly.
"This is absolutely one of the best ticket-buys you can make," said Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of the speedway. "This is truly a great opportunity for children to meet and get hands-on with the best driver in our sport today, and for our adult fans to get up close and personal with a six-time champion."
For fans that have already purchased tickets to the Camping World RV Sales 301, a special $48 add-on package is available, which includes two adult and two children's admission tickets to the Jimmie Johnson Q&A. For families with more than two children, a $6 ticket is available for each additional child, which will include a Lowe's Build & Grow kit while supplies last.
"We are always looking for ways to offer fans, and especially families, affordable ways to attend races," said Johnson, the defending NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion. "Being a father of two girls, I really enjoy opportunities to interact with children and look forward to seeing the kids doing the Build and Grow clinic and answering their questions."
Johnson has three wins, including a 2003 season sweep, in 24 career starts at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. A 2010 July winner at the Magic Mile, Johnson has 17 top-10s, including nine top-fives, and a 9.2 average finishing position.
Access to the Q&A session will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will run from 10:25-10:40 a.m.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Prosecutors charged three teenage Malaysian handball players Thursday with raping a female chaperone while participating in a key sports tournament.
The case has raised concerns about discipline and security at the Malaysian Games competition, which involves the country's top athletes under 21 years old.
The suspects pleaded not guilty to raping a 20-year-old woman on July 4 at a dormitory during this year's tournament.
A district court in central Selangor state scheduled a hearing for Aug. 20. The suspects, who are 18 and 19, were released on bail.
Rape convictions in Malaysia carry a maximum penalty of 20 years' imprisonment.
Malaysian Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has said initial investigations showed the suspects had been out drinking with a coach and other sports officials who have since been suspended.
It was not clear whether they could also be charged in Islamic courts for consuming alcohol, which is unlawful for Muslims in Malaysia.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Times-Call's series Take Two revisits people we have written about in the past year. Take Two stories will run on Mondays.
FREDERICK -- Downtown Frederick has a couple of restaurants and as of March 4 it has a new coffee shop, too: Carbon Valley Coffee Roasters.
Dustan Flanagan, who owns the shop with his wife, Deborah, thinks there's room for more places to eat and gather.
"We're hoping to attract some other operators downtown, too," Dustan Flanagan said Friday, sitting in the dining area of the couple's shop. "This would make a great dining destination."
Flanagan said he's been investing in buildings and properties in Frederick for about 12 years, and he's a believer in the community's potential.
Carbon Valley Coffee Roasters
Location: 214 Fifth St., Frederick
Hours: 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday
Phone: 720-484-4338
"We live right in downtown," he said. "We're all in."
This is the couple's first business together. Deborah used to own a salon in town a few years ago, Flanagan said. And he still draws a paycheck from the corporate world, working in sales and marketing.
The Flanagans bought what used to be a drive-through liquor store at 214 Fifth Ave. to put in the coffee shop. He took out the drive-through part, he said, because he wants the shop to be a gathering place for people. And what used to be the driveway on the side of the building will eventually be turned into an outdoor patio area, he said, with a stage that could feature family entertainment occasionally.
He said inside the shop, they have reserved some space where locally made products -- baked goods, smoked meats, or jams and jellies, for example -- will be featured.
The town of Frederick provided the Flanagans with a faade improvement grant that he took advantage of to put some extra touches on his building, including a neon sign and an awning. He told the Times-Call in November that those are things he would have put up anyway but the grant allowed him to do it much sooner. He applauded the town for launching the program and trying to inject vitality into the downtown.
He and some other merchants are also in discussions to put together a downtown business association, Flanagan said, and the town has been supportive of that idea.
Another important part of his business is the coffee roasting side of things. His is a coffee shop where all of the beans are roasted in-house.
"I don't know what the percentage is but it's unique -- and it's a big advantage to us," Flanagan said.
Aside from being able to offer customers their very fresh coffee, Flanagan said he'll soon be selling Carbon Valley Coffee wholesale to another coffee shop and that a restaurant in Frederick is already a wholesale customer.

Injetable Fillers Procedure
The support structure of your skin is formed by natural proteins. Wrinkles begin to appear when these proteins thin. This loss is usually connected to aging, but smoking, exposure to the sun, pollution, health, heredity, and lifestyle may also be the cause. The injectable fillers are substances that can be used to both lift lines and sculpt the face. They can fill wrinkles, scars, under-eye depressions, build up cheeks and chins, lift brows, and define and enlarge the lips. Injectable fillers are a popular treatment
and are administered by way of a simple injection treatment, for which no anaesthetic is required.
There are many `fillers` available and in some cases it may be recommended that a combination of injectable fillers are used to treat or improve a particular condition. Some injectible fillers require a skin test prior to treatment to ensure that you have no allergy to the product but in the last few years various products have become available which avoid the necessity for such an allergy test.
After treatment with injectable fillers, there are usually no visible effects and patients could therefore go straight back to work or to a social engagement, The areas best treated with these products are:
forehead lines - horizontal frown lines
glabeller lines - vertical frown lines between the eyebrows
crow`s feet or laughter lines - radiating away from the eyes
naso-labial lines - furrows running between mouth and nose
marionette lines - lines running down from the corners of the mouth
lips - by creating a fuller, more defined shape
facial scars - either from old injuries or acne scarring
Many doctors recommend that their patients try a temporary filler for their first few treatments, just to make sure it is providing them the results they want. If they are satisfied, they may want to opt for a permanent filler, so they don`t have to keep coming back.
Collagen injections replenishes the skin`s natural collagen. The natural beauty of your skin is enhanced as the contour of the support structure is restored.
Zyderm and Zyplast are bovine derived collagen products that replace the collagen your skin loses over time. Zyderm and Zyplast collagen are placed just beneath the skin, in the dermis where the body readily accepts it as its own.
CosmoDerm and CosmoPlast are bioengineered human collagen products that are used for similar indications as Zyderm and Zyplast but have the advantage of not requiring a skin test prior to the first treatment.
Collagen should be injected into your skin only by a trained health care professional. By supplementing your skin`s own collagen, collagen replacement therapy helps smooth facial lines as well as most types of scars.
Other Injectable fillers include Artecoll, which is a synthetic filler material. Because it`s synthetic, you are at higher risk of having an allergic reaction to it than if you got an injection of collagen or fat, but it lasts much longer than those options.
Autologen is an injection of your own collagen, extracted from another place on your body. There`s no risk of allergic reaction, however, the results are only temporary. This may be good for people who aren`t ready to commit to a permanent result.
Dermalogen is collagen extracted from deceased human donors. It`s also called injectable Human Tissue Matrix. This is also a temporary fix, but your body should not reject it.
Fascia injections use a specific type of connective tissue harvested either from your own body or from a deceased human donor. It can be implanted surgically or injected. The main drawback is that within a year of injection, your body will reabsorb the fascia.
Fat from your own thighs or abdomen can be also be injected. There`s no risk of allergic reaction and you may achieve permanent results. This can also be implanted surgically.
HylaForm is a material created from natural body substances. There`s no risk of infection, but you will need repeated treatments to maintain the result as it`s only a temporary fix.
Restylane is a clear gel. It contains hyaluronic acid, which naturally occurs in humans, so there`s little chance for an allergic reaction. It`s biodegradable, so your body will absorb it within about six months of the injection.
Restylane and Perlane are based on a non-animal hyaluronic acid. No pre-test in necessary is needed as one of it`s main components, hyaluronic acid, occurs naturally in the body. Perlane is a thicker gel than Restylane and good for deeper folds or for more pronounced lip sculpting.
Another injectable filler lasting even longer (about 2 years) is Radiesse. It consists of tiny micro spheres of a synthetic material called calcium hydroxyl apatite (30%) that is combined with a common hydro gel (70%) used in a vast array of products. While calcium hydroxyl apatite has similar chemical and structural characteristics as bone and teeth and therefore is naturally compatible with the body, the Radiesse material is synthetic and man-made similar to a calcium phosphate. Radiesse is used most for the deep folds that run from the nose down towards the corners of the mouth and for depressions under the mouth.
Sculptra is an injectable filler material that adds volume to facial areas such as the cheeks, temples, the depressions under the eyes, and around the chin. Instead of plumping up the skin itself, Sculptra initiates an expansion of the body`s own collagen, resulting in long lasting, natural appearing results. It usually requires at least 2 treatments and the results are not immediately apparent but the effects can last several years.
Candidates for injectable filler procedures should be physically healthy and realistic in their expectations. Patients should be aware that most injectable fillers can improve or reduce the appearance of wrinkles and creases rather than eliminate them altogether. The specific injectable filler that is right for you will depend upon several factors and is best determined with the help of a qualified plastic surgeon.
Injectable fillers are often administered in a surgeon's office and usually take no more than forty-five minutes to complete. Some injectables will require multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart. A local or topical anesthetic or numbing agent may be administered before the filler is injected with a small needle beneath the skin of the treatment area.
Side effects tend to be minimal with most injectable fillers. Bruising, swelling and redness may occur but typically fade within one to two days. Normal activities, including work, can usually be resumed right away. Results are temporary for most injectable fillers and will require periodic repeat treatment in order to maintain the effect.

"I can't get out of my car," Justyn "Jay" Ambrozia, 90, called out. "Can you help me?"
Tim Weidman called 911.
Turns out Ambrozia had been stuck inside the car for three days, after falling during a shopping trip to Publix supermarket on April 30.
Ambrozia fell as he rounded a corner that day, according to The Tampa Bay Times. He pulled up on a shelf, which gave way and his left side hit the ground. He broke his wrist and hip.
Employees helped the man to his car and he managed to drive home. He backed his car up the driveway and into the garage, but couldn't pull the door handle because of the searing pain in his swollen wrist.
Publix spokesman Brian West said he doesn't know the exact day Ambrozia fell in the store, according to the paper. He said Publix was investigating the incident and had contacted Ambrozia.
Ambrozia's car battery died as soon as he got into the garage, so he says he couldn't honk the horn. But he used the remote to open and shut the garage, hoping to catch a neighbor's attention. That attempt failed, and three days passed. He watched a postal worker walk by, but the man didn't hear his muffled cries.
The newspaper reported that Ambrozia ate the groceries he'd picked up. Ice cream cones, Fig Newtons and pound cake. But he didn't have any water.
"Jeez, it's been three days," he remembered thinking. "I hope I don't die in this car."
Neighbors in the community north of Tampa recalled Ambrozia as a caring and very active man. He is a retiree from Scranton, Pa.
On Tuesday, Ambrozia was recovering in the Medical Center of Trinity.
He told the Times he is an Army veteran, who was drafted after the Pearl Harbor attacks and was a buck sergeant in the 30th Division of the 119th Infantry. He said the last time he remembers being stranded was when he and his troops got lost in Paris for six hours during World War II.
Ambrozia said the experience prepared him for what happened last week.
"I can't complain," he told the Times. "When something like this happens, it happens."

Celebrity Sighting: Young John Krasinski
Celebrity Sighting: Young John Krasinski
Showing you John K's Senior Picture was just the beginning. My older brother was friends with The Office's John Krasinski growing up in Newton, MA (not to mention Ryan the Temp also went to our high school -- random) so I knew him when I was young too. When I was recently back east looking through family photo albums and came across some little John K, I just had to share them with you. I'm not sure of his exact age in either one, but he was obviously happy to steal the show in my brother's birthday party group picture. Too funny.
Since I'm going out of my way to show slightly awkward John, I will embarrass myself a little bit too -- that's me in the black & white stripes making my best Jim Halpert face at the bottom there. Obviously, I was hot stuff with my enormous glasses. If that's not enough cute John for you, check out Buzz's interview with him where he even talks about JAM (yay). Do you have a good celebrity sighting story to tell? Join our Celebrity Sightings Group and post your stories and pics. We will feature user submitted celebrity sightings on PopSugar!

March 21-22, 2002
ITEM 114-2002-R0302 Authorization to Create a Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Animal and Range Sciences; Montana State University-Bozeman
THAT: The Board of Regents of Higher Education authorizes Montana State University-Bozeman to award a Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Animal and Range Sciences.
EXPLANATION: The Department of Animal and Range Science at Montana State University seeks to initiate an academic program leading to a Ph.D. in Animal and Range Sciences. Faculty, staff and resources position the department to deliver a unique program that: 1) exploits a multi-disciplinary scientific approach to the dynamic interactions between livestock production/marketing systems and natural resource management, and 2) prepares leaders to address some of the most critical issues facing livestock production and natural resource management in Montana and the Northwest. Two options will emphasize scientific discovery, synthesis and application, with research projects ranging from fundamental to applied, molecular to landscapes. The Animal Science Option revolves around range livestock production, value-added animal products, and value-based marketing. The Range Science Option focuses on rangeland plant, soil, water, livestock and wildlife ecology. Nineteen professors holding Ph.D. degrees will deliver the program. Currently, four Ph.D. students are being trained in collaboration with other units, three new students are ready to start programs, and current grants could support five Ph.D. students. A variety of domestic and international employment opportunities exist for graduates.
No additional faculty or staff are needed to deliver the program. Added operating expenses will be covered by: 1) reallocation of some resources from our M.S. program, and 2) grants and contracts. Livestock and range resources of the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station are excellent, while library, laboratory and office resources are adequate to launch the program. A Ph.D. program will greatly improve the department's ability to: 1) fill open faculty positions with the best scientists available, 2) recruit more students into academic programs, and 3) secure more extramural funding.

Four public hearings on voluntary annexations and a fifth on an appealed rezoning request have been set for the Burlington City Council�s August 20 meeting.
The annexation requests from Alamance Regional Medical Center, the Melmark subdivision, Sheetz distribution center and Quality Equipment will be heard that evening.
The request to rezone 10.98 acres east of University Drive, to allow for the Burlington University North Plaza shopping center, is on appeal and will also have a public hearing.
The four annexations should be noncontroversial since they�re voluntary, said City Planner Daniel Shoffner.
The hospital is already in city limits, but ARMC has owned an adjacent piece of land just shy of 10 acres for a while without using it, Shoffner said. Now, the hospital is expanding a parking lot on the plot and �for continuity of services,� it�s best to bring the land into Burlington�s city limits.
The Melmark subdivision is a proposed 45-lot single-family residential neighborhood on 17.8 acres on Apple Street near Grover Lane.
�We haven�t done any annexations up that way in a while,� said Shoffner.
He said the subdivision�s preliminary site plan was approved in 2010, but the developer hadn�t been sure if he was going to move forward with the plan.
�The concept plan�s been approved,� but the development is still in its early stages, Shoffner said. The developer, Melmark Incorporated, is just now getting to the point of installing utilities and is thus requesting annexation.
The third annexation request is for six acres on the north side of Whites Kennel Road, recently rezoned to allow for a local tractor dealership�s relocation. C.G. Byrd�s family merged its Byrd Tractor and Equipment and Byrd Lawn and Garden businesses with Quality Equipment in 2008, and Byrd wanted a location with more exposure for the business.
Currently, Quality Equipment is at 2115 Stanley Drive, between Bradley Street and Peace Lane in Burlington.
The Sheetz distribution center�s 44-acre site, also along Whites Kennel Road, is also up for annexation. As part of the city�s incentive package, Burlington will extend water and sewer lines to the site.
Instead of remaining outside city limits and paying double rates, Shoffner said, �They would probably want to get regular water and sewer rates.� He said, �Any time anyone outside the city wants our utilities, they have to sign a petition,� for annexation.
The Sheetz property�s annexation would be non-contiguous, since it�s not adjacent to Burlington�s corporate limits, but it does meet the set of criteria required for satellite annexations, Shoffner said. For example, the site is closer to Burlington�s city limits than any other municipalities� corporate limits, and Burlington will be able to provide the site with all regular city services.
THE PUBLIC WILL also be able to weigh in on a rezoning request that�s on appeal, since the Planning & Zoning Commission voted 6-3 against approving Waycliff Investment, LLC�s request to rezone 10.98 acres east of University Drive for use as a shopping center similar to the Shoppes at Waterford across the street.
The request was to rezone the property from R-15 Residential District to Conditional Business District and Conditional Office and Institutional District, for the proposed Burlington University North Plaza shopping center.
Though city staff recommended approval of the rezoning, the Planning & Zoning Commission voted against it, with concerns about how nearby wells serving Glenwood Acres would fare when the property was excavated with blasting.
Another concern was whether the developer, Waycliff Investment, LLC, had conducted a hydrology report, which relates to surface water.
No such study had been conducted, and Bill Abplanalp � a resident of Glenwood Acres and on the Planning & Zoning Commission � said all the rainwater runoff caused from the shopping center would go into collection ponds surrounded by chain link fences.
According to site plans, four such �bioretention cells� are planned to line the shopping center along University Drive, which Abplanalp said would be unattractive in the neighborhood.
All five public hearings will be held during the city council�s regular meeting on Aug. 20, beginning at 7 p.m. in city hall, located at 425 S. Lexington Ave.

the theme of this manga reminds me of GTO but handles it differently without the violence and long drawn out drama.

The main character is too much of a self-indulgent otaku for me to really enjoy it. -_-
I know it's a silly series, and every other aspect is actually kinda good, but the sort of self-indulgence and writerly arrogance over science (LOL LOOK HOW CERN FAILS TO BEAT MR. OTAKU GENIUS! MAGIKARU GYARU TEREPORUTEESHON) gets me a bit miffed.

Guess after reading Yasashii Sekai no Tsukurikata, seeing this type of setting I expect more than what I get usually.
Still depsite the niggles I do enjoy it for what it is, certainly not a bad series.
Altho not sure what to make of whats to come, I actually quite liked Boxer girl and Witch girl, I hope to see them again later on.

the main character is indeed interesting and kinda unique in a way I like it but the way they end the first school with him transferring into a new school doesn't suit with me. It reminds me of GTO plus I also liked boxer girl and witch girl. But if the teacher transfer school then we probably won't be able to see those two but so hope they will still show up. CERN and black holes lol reminds me a certain mad scientist who lives near akihabara that develops time machine.

But I've read chapter 5 again and

I think it's more of he's 17 but already had a thesis published out rather than he was 17 when the thesis was published..
Judging from Chapter 5..
Spoiler for chapter 5:
Anyway if you noticed, I am the translator, so I might have made a mistake.. -.-'
But it does seems weird.. 17 and a university graduate??? That's not fair at all..

Honestly not sure what to make of whats happening.
Can't tell if I find it interesting or somewhat oddly cliche or predictable.
The whole I don't want to do this or be part of it but gets involved anyway cause of some sorta weird reason or is forced into it by someone kinda gets to me.
I'm fine with students having alot of power within the school but guess I'm not too fond of the young female in such a high ranking postion within the school.
Altho it's not actually been stated if she's the same age as the students but I can't see her being that much older.
Think only time I liked where a student had power over the whole school was in Veritas but thats cause the guy involved went against the grain at almost every turn, it's what made it interesting plus it helps that the lass there is super hawt!
I'm keeping with this series still, guess I'll say it's on a postive outlook with the imouto now getting involved more

Anyway about the age of the manager who was in the same grade as Kagami, I'm pretty sure she's saying she is 17 which isn't her age. Which is why when she repeats it in the next frame everyone has blank looks including Kagami.

Private Messages - Policy Update

With the recent update to the site I am having to make a emergency policy change about Private Messages. With so many messages being used on the site I am going to have to set a six month retention policy for PM's.
There is a new way to save your favorite 20 messages, but please do not use the site as a permanent mail alternative. They take up too many resources. I had to remove 750,000 mesgages on the site over the past five days.
Please use the feature, but just don't rely on these messages there for permanence.
