How do you look after your lawn?
Having a beautiful lawn doesn't just happen by magic. A multi-pronged approach to lawn care will result in a healthy lawn that will have your neighbors green with envy. The national average price for multi-service lawn care ranges from $40 to $50. Whether you tackle the project yourself or hire a lawn care professional, looking after your lawn requires consistent work. A baseline of lawn care is keeping your grass mowed and your irrigation system working properly. Fertilizing plants and grasses, as well as trimming and pruning foliage, may promote the health of your plants and lawn. Many lawn care pros offer different packages with varying monthly fees depending on your lawn size and the services you desire. Here are a few examples of average lawn care prices:
- 1,000- to 2,500-square-foot lawn: $60-$90 per month
- 5,000-square-foot lawn or larger: $110-$150 per month.
- Includes lawn maintenance, cleanups and irrigation repairs. The company trims shrubs, pulls weeds, blows out yard waste, fertilizes and does minor irrigation repairs.
- Up to 8,000-square-foot property: $30 per week/$120 per month.
- 8,001- to 15,000-square-foot property: $35 per week/$140 per month.
- 15,001- to 20,000-square-foot property: $40 per week/$160 per month.
- Includes mowing all turf grass areas; trimming grass away from fences, structures, trees, and lawn edges; and clearing or blowing all grass trimmings from driveways, sidewalks, curbs, etc.
What does a landscape contractor do?
Landscape contractors work from outdoor architectural or design plans to build and install hardscaping or softscaping for the client, much as a general contractor uses architectural designs to build a house. Landscape contractors are experts in soil drainage, grading, hardscaping (installing concrete paths and retaining wall, building ponds, etc.), and planting. They have heavy equipment such as excavators and tractors to prepare the land as needed.
Some landscape contractors are also landscape architects or landscape designers. The titles can be compared with those in home construction: A building or landscape architect must earn a specialized architecture degree and pass an exam to have a license. A designer — whether an interior designer or a landscape designer — does not usually require a license to work. Landscape contractors are not required by law to work from plans designed by a landscape architect, so you may work directly with the landscape contractor to specify the work you'd like done. The national average cost for large-scale landscaping projects is $10,160. Pricing can vary greatly depending on the project scope, materials and design.
What's the best way to maintain your lawn?
Keeping a lawn lush and green requires consistent mowing, weeding, watering, fertilizing and more. If your lawn is particularly large, it may make sense to hire a full-service lawn care provider. Whether you take a DIY approach or bring in the experts, maintaining your lawn requires a range of tasks.
Plan to mow the lawn often, allowing it stay longer than may seem convenient — longer grass is healthier grass. The general rule is to cut off no more than a third of the grass blade. This helps prevent damage to the lawn as well as keeping weeds from taking root. It's also important to remove any weeds, then prevent new ones from growing. In spring, consider spraying a pre-emergent herbicide on your lawn to prevent crabgrass and other types of weeds from sprouting from seed. During other seasons, broadleaf weeds like dandelions can be pulled by hand or sprayed with weed killers. The best time to water your lawn is early in the morning, allowing the sun to help dry the grass. Make sure to thoroughly soak the lawn so that the water penetrates several inches into the ground.
Lawn care also requires feeding; look for a mixture of fast- and slow-release fertilizers that include nitrogen. Some lawns also benefit from aeration, which creates small holes to let air, water and nutrients penetrate the grass roots. Although most homeowners can manage these tasks on their own, a full-service lawn care company can handle them on a regular schedule, taking the guesswork out of maintaining a beautiful lawn.
How do you find a good landscape architect?
Hiring a landscape architect is an investment in your home. Landscaping can reduce water bills, improve your home resale value, add to your daily living experience and significantly boost curb appeal. A landscape architect will draw the designs for your new landscape; you'll want to hire a landscape contractor to carry out the plans. Many companies provide design-build landscaping services, with a company architect creating plans for your vision and the landscape contractor executing the vision. With the proper academic background and licensing, a person can be both landscape architect and landscape contractor. Here are a few tips for finding a great landscape architect:
- Research online portfolios and find several landscape architects whose work interests you.
- Read online reviews of client experiences.
- Research whether the landscape architects you are interested in are currently licensed and in good standing with the licensing board, and check whether any complaints have been issued against them. Each state will have their own searchable database. For example, you can search for California landscape architects via the state's Department of Consumer Affairs.
- Request bids from your selected landscape architects.
- Hire the one you like the most, taking care to have a clearly written contract outlining scope of work.

How much does it cost to landscape your front yard?
Prices for landscaping your front yard can range from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the scale of your front yard project. Your landscaping price will reflect how much change you implement, how much labor is required, and the cost of materials.
Landscaping is typically made up of softscaping and hardscaping. Softscaping refers to selecting trees, bushes, flowers and plants to achieve a desired aesthetic and to meet goals such as having a drought-tolerant yard. Hardscaping refers to moving earth, installing structures, and putting in decorative stonework, sidewalks or lighting. For softscaping, you may want to hire a landscape designer to consult on your plants and layout, and then do the digging and planting yourself or hire a gardner to handle the heavy lifting. A landscape designer's hourly rate may range from $50 to $150 or more. If you want a turnkey approach, meaning someone who works with you to create the vision and then executes all the work, landscaping pricing will typically come down to a cost per square foot rather than an hourly rate. It's a solid investment: Great landscaping can add up to 28 percent value to your home.

Welcome to Markenfield Hall
"It is an extraordinary privilege to live in the most unspoiled surviving early fourteenth century house in all England, and to be able to welcome you to it. Markenfield Hall is truly a special place.
"Although we have tried to make it interesting by notices and explanations here and there, most of all it is our private home. That is why you will occasionally encounter family muddle, dogs and sometimes grandchildren racing about. It is supposed to be the most continuously inhabited house in the country, but we're not sure if that is true.
"It is a place with an extraordinary history, beginning with its entry in Domesday Book (1086) and continuing to the present day, sometimes peacefully, sometimes in considerable strife. It is now being gradually restored to something of the status and dignity for which it was built.
"It has had its fair share of unhappiness over the centuries and yet it has an extraordinary atmosphere: peaceful and benign. Visitors often remark on that. We hope, when you visit, that you take away some of that peace with you."
Moated Medieval Manor House Markenfield Hall near Ripon in North Yorkshire opens its doors to the public for a limited time each year. On this site you will find information on how to visit and explore on one of our open days, how to join in one of our Mop Up Monday tours, how to book a guided tour, a wedding, a christening, an anniversary lunch or an other event. With its moat, battlements, beautiful private chapel and position deep in the Yorkshire countryside, it has been called "Surely one of the most romantic houses left in England". Did we mention we do weddings? We can do formal weddings, relaxed weddings, family weddings and – new for 2014 – vintage afternoon tea weddings.

Missy Berggren's preparation for her daughter's upcoming entry into kindergarten started long before school supplies hit the shelves at Target.
Her daughter, 5, has severe food allergies to eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts and shellfish. Exposure can be deadly. So, Berggren, a parent advocate and board member of the Food Allergy Support Group of Minnesota, set out to safeguard her daughter beginning with researching school policies and practices before deciding on a school, and, then, partnering with the school administration and teacher.
"My goal is to empower my daughter to live as normal of a life as possible, with some extra planning to make sure she is safe and feels included. We always plan ahead to avoid a food allergy reaction but also need to be prepared if something happens," Berggren said.
Berggren was most attracted to a school that does not use food in the curriculum and where there are wellness policies in place that limit or don't allow treats on birthdays and holidays. Most schools in Minnesota still allow that, Berggren said. Her daughter will eat lunches packed at home at a peanut-free table, and will be reminded never to share food with other children.
Berggren is working with the Kindergarten teacher to make sure classroom snacks are safe for her daughter. She also shared books from her personal library, such as the "Alexander the Elephant" series about food allergies, which the teacher plans to read to the class.
Her daughter recently spent four days at the school's KinderKamp preparing for kindergarten. When Berggren dropped her off, she reviewed the allergy action plan and emergency medicines with the teacher. All the students washed their hands with soap and water when entering the classroom.
Before school begins in the fall, the family met with an allergist to review the child's medical condition and to have the appropriate paperwork filled out for school. A special school meeting is planned with the principal, school nurse, teacher and other key staff to talk in detail about the child's food allergies, how to spot and treat a reaction, and how to make sure she feels physically and emotionally safe.
While food allergies are becoming more common -- one in 13 kids has one, which equals about two kids per classroom – there is still the danger of being picked on or teased.
When other kids ask her about eating different food, she often says, matter-of-factly, that she has food allergies and needs her own food, Berggren said.
"In her mind, she's a normal kid and she doesn't want the emphasis to be on her food allergies and neither do I," Berggren said. "I work really hard to make sure she feels included and that at this age, 5, she doesn't feel treated differently."
Here are some tips on how to navigate school with food allergies. Here are more age-specific tools to teach kids about food allergies. Here are suggestions on how to navigate the holidays with food allergies.

To complete this quest, speak with the NPC Mola outside the Whack-a-Gnoll area at Darkmoon Faire. After you pick up the daily quest, you can speak again to Mola to be given a timer bar and a hammer (special action bar).
Your goal is to hit as many gnolls as possible before the timer runs out. Regular gnolls are worth one point, but if you hit Hogger you get five points! Be careful though - if you accidentally hit one of the dummy dolls, you will be stunned and lose precious time.
Don't worry if you aren't able to complete the Daily in one timer; you will not fail it. Simply speak with Mola again to get another try for the cost of one extra token. Your hits will be cumulative.

'Glee' Planning Second Tribute for Britney Spears
Britney Spears fans and Gleeks, listen up. Not only has 'Glee' been renewed for a third season, but audiences will get to feast their eyes on yet another tribute episode honoring the 'Femme Fatale' singer.
The tribute is set to air as the second episode of the series' fourth season, reports Entertainment Weekly. Fans will get to indulge in more of Brit's hits, which will include eight 'Glee'-ified songs. However, the show won't focus on Brittany, and for now, Spears is not set to make a guest appearance. Don't lose hope, though. Things could change by the time the episode shoots.
By now, Britney fans know that the pop superstar has signed on to be a judge on FOX's hit series 'X Factor,' and, according to the network, 'Glee' will move to Thursday nights, following the singing competition's results show. That means we'll be getting a big double dose of Britney later this year.
The first Britney tribute is one of Glee's highest-rated episodes to date, so it's no wonder why execs would want to pay homage to the five-time Grammy Award winner. Plus, with seven albums under her belt, the New Directions have plenty more hits to cover. Are you excited for what's in store?

Many people who come to think of themselves as transgender, start out watching large amounts of pornography. Two of the most common types are called "sissy porn" and "forced feminization" or "forced sissification". Some of these types of porn have "hypno" videos where the viewer is supposed to be "hypnotized" into becoming a woman. One popular site has the following text next to one of the videos:
You love cum. You want to be a girl. Being girly is what you really want. Admit to yourself that you are a girl and go ahead and do something about it. The world is different now. Being openly sissy is acceptable. The number of sissies globally is amazing and growing all the time. Forget about being a man. Embrace the real you. You are a sissy bimbo cumslut. You know you cannot settle with just one cock. You have to have many partners. You don't care about the risks. You are addicted. You cannot stop. Cock is your life and like McDonald's, you're loving it.
For the men who watch these types of porn videos, "being a girl" is a sexual fetish, and it has nothing to do with actually being female. It is a type of BDSM porn where they get turned on by being forced to do degrading things. And for a great number of men, the most degrading thing of all is being a woman.
It is not uncommon for these men to start to question their gender.
Did sissy porn make me trans or was I trans all a long?, asks a poster to r/asktransgender.
I have always been attracted to men as long as I can remember. In particular, I have always been attracted to black men. After a while, I got bored of gay porn and started watching porn with transgender women in it. I started imagining myself in her position. About 3 years ago, I discovered sissy hypno videos, which in a nutshell are flashing subjective images telling you to wear panties, be girly, suck cock, and even take hormones. I became completely obsessed with these videos. Nothing got me off like these. It got to the point where I started wearing panties and imagining myself as a girl when I would masturbate. I personally think these videos just helped me realize that I am transgender. I never felt comfortable being a man. Before I hit puberty I was super androgynous and always enjoyed spending time with girls more than boys. I have never been able to enjoy sex and I think this is due to me being in the wrong body. I have had sex a handful of times and was not able to become aroused (even though they were studly men).
One month later, after two therapy sessions, the same poster is being advised by their therapist to start hormones. Note the references to suicide, both in therapy sessions, and in conversations with the poster's mother.
Commenters express concern that the therapist is moving rather fast with recommending hormones, and the OP replies:
Turns out the therapist isn't even seeing their clients in real life, just over webcamera.
One month after that, hormones are acquired:
Did anybody masturbate to transgender porn before they realized they were trans?, asks another poster, and the overwhelming answer is "yes".
This commenter admits that porn was the motivation for wanting to transition.
A teenager is confused about sexuality and identity.
At 15-16 I discovered "traps" and transgenders, and found myself incredibly fascinated with and attracted to MtF transgenders (and feminine/androgynous males). I then found sissy hypno/forced-feminisation porn and was incredibly turned on by it and indulged in it ALOT. Around this age I also began to have this distinct/recurring thought of: "I wish I was a girl", but without really knowing why. I began to feel a sort of split inside me: as if I had a male side which was masculine/dominant, and a female side which was feminine/submissive.
At 16-17 my porn addiction grew and I was spending alot of time on webcam sites. At one point I remember cutting up some of my t-shirts to shape them into skirts and wearing them (in private and on cam), as I was way too scared to buy girls clothes. On computer games I enjoyed having female characters and pretending to be a girl (on Second Life especially).
From 17 onwards, things were difficult. I continued being turned on by mostly straight, transgender and sissy porn. This sense of having a 'boyside' and 'girlside' became more clear. I began to accept that I was bisexual in the sense that I'm totally into girls (romantically and sexually), yet still have a sexual attraction to guys (but not romantic, I don't see myself dating guys). I knew I had a porn addiction, which was causing problems (staying up late, insomnia, not studying). I thought that sissy hypno was the reason for me wanting to be a girl, and began trying to quit watching porn and repress the entire feminine side of myself and focus on being a normal guy. The stress of exams, insomnia and my inability to quit porn led to severe depression (I was diagnosed and prescribed antidepressants but didn't take them). This went on for 1.5 years, in which time I seriously considered buying make-up/clothes online but didn't, and made craigslist ads wanting to meet up with guys but didn't.
After over 1.5 years of complete hell, I got to a somewhat healthy point where I was no longer depressed, exercising, getting good sleep, etc. I was still addicted to porn though and unable to figure out my sexuality/gender. I believed that sissy hypno was the only thing causing me to want to be a girl. I researched alot about porn addiction and nofap, and decided that if after 90 days of nofap (no porn or masturbating), I still felt the urge to be a girl, then I probably had gender issues and would address them.
Fast forward to now. I'm on my 18th day of no porn or masturbation, I'm getting good sleep, working out, not depressed, trying to just move on and be secure as a straight male at uni. I'm studying to become a teacher and really want to get a girlfriend this year (and eventually a wife/kids). Yet there's still a part of me that wants to be a girl. I have no interest in stereotypically masculine things like sports/cars, I enjoy writing/reading (dream job is to be a novelist – fantasy/adventure/romance genres), I've imagined myself being comfortable as a female teacher. Often when I see attractive girls, I simultaneously want to have sex with her as a guy and actually be her.
I should note, when I look in the mirror I feel somewhat conflicted. Part of my loves my slender, almost feminine physique, and wants to be more feminine. Another part of me wants to workout and look more like a man (to be more attractive to girls more than anything else).
If I had a button which could make me a girl permanently, would I press it? Yes, without hesitating. If I had the option of being a father or a mother, which would I choose? At the moment, a father. But I've never experienced life as a girl so I don't know. I'm trying to decide whether I should buy some make-up and girls clothes online, at least just to try it, see how it feels and see how I would look, then decide from there. But every time I consider it, I think about how impossible it would be – how everyone in my life would react. I'm really unsure about everything. From reading all of this, what do you think? Could I be transgender or bigender? Or just a male who has been influenced by sissy hypnosis/forced feminisation fetishes? Please help!
A severe porn addiction and depression that has lasted for years. Sterotypical views of what "being a girl" means (make-up and clothes seems to be the most important aspects). And this poster thinks that staying away from porn for a little over two weeks is enough to erase the influence it has had. Commenters are quick to chime in with "you sound trans":
Two months later, it seems that the OP has decided they might indeed be transgendered.
Yet another poster is confused about what role porn has played for them:
I'll try to keep this as succinct as possible but bear with me cuz this is bound to take a bit of text. Anyway, backdrop first I am a 25 yo guy in a nearly 3 yr relationship & I do legitimately love this girl. Lately, however, I've been struggling with what i suppose is gender dysphoria. I'm struggling to figure out if this is rooted solely in a sexual fetish of some sort… or perhaps a symptom of something deeper I am subconsciously trying to suppress. I have been into sissy/tg porn now for awhile, and it has been pretty much the standard for the past two years for me to imagine being in the female role whenever I masturbate. When I am with my gf though, it is just about us I am the guy she is the girl.. my mind doesn't really go elsewhere except very rarely. I have always considered this being something I could compartmentalize into being nothing more than a sexual proclivity I indulged myself on my alone time. However, now I'm not so sure…
This poster has a "sissy/feminization fetish", and it has led to gender confusion:
He writes:
I can't remember feeling any sort of gender confusion before I discovered this fetish (but that doesn't mean I never did, I just can't remember). Sometimes I feel like (since the brain is plastic after all) the dopamine release associated with my fetish has rewired my sexual preferences and possibly even my true gender.
He is also distressed by this turn of events and wants to rid himself of his fetish.
As transgenderism keeps becoming more mainstream, and more and more places are codifying into law that "identity" and not biological sex is supposed to be the determining factor for the use of sex-segregated facilities, it is important to talk about this phenomenon. Why are we not hearing more about these stories in the media? Why, when we hear talk of transgender people, are we always told that this has nothing to do with sexuality, but rather with some abstract identity? Could it be that it is because what we have seen in this post is less palatable to the public? We can assure you that this phenomenon is not at all uncommon. The posts you have seen here are a fraction of what can be found online written by males who after years of heavy porn consumption start to "feel female".

The replacement official apocalypse arrived Monday night.
On the final play from scrimmage between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks -- a play that will live on lowlight reels for years -- Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson lofted a ball high into the Seattle night. Wide receiver Golden Tate committed a blatant pass interference, pushing defender Sam Shields to the ground. Safety M.D. Jennings lept high and appeared to come down with the ball. Tate tried to take the ball away after they hit the ground.
One official signaled interception. The other signaled a touchdown. The touchdown stood, and the Seahawks beat the Packers 14-12. Cue bedlam.
Throughout this standoff between the NFL and its officials, we all wondered if a replacement official would cost a team a game. We found out on "Monday Night Football." The last three weeks built to this moment.
Relive every game this season online and on-demand with enhanced viewing features, including the "All-22" coaches film. Get NFL Game Rewind.
The final call was egregious because it was so obviously wrong and came on the heels of a brutal final quarter of calls. There was a terrible pass-interference call on Packers cornerback Sam Shields during the Seahawks' second-to-last drive. There was a shaky roughing-the-passer call that wiped out a Russell Wilson interception. But nothing was as blatant as the final play.
Years from now, the final play of this game will stand as the symbol of the entire referee lockout. Tate's phantom catch guarantees the standoff won't be a moment of time lost to history. We'll talk about it all season while discussing Seattle and Green Bay's playoff chances.
Rule 8, Section 1, Article 3, Item 5 of the NFL rulebook discusses a simultaneous catch.
"If a pass is caught simultaneously by two eligible opponents, and both retain it, the ball belongs to the passers. It is not a simultaneous catch if a player gains control first and an opponent subsequently gains joint control," the rule states.
The rulebook also states when a simultaneous catch is ruled, you can't review who made the catch. You can only review if it was complete or incomplete.
Jennings gained control first. That should have ended the game.
"Got (expletived) by the refs ... Embarrassing. Thanks NFL," Packers guard T.J. Lang tweeted after the game.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll gave a postgame speech to ESPN among all the confusion ... before the game was over. The Packers had to come back to the field for the Seahawks' extra point. It was the theater of the absurd.
"I've never seen anything like that in all my years in football," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said.
Neither have we. Let's hope we don't see it ever again.

I have this picture that is really old, and when I say old I mean old like from the seventies. It's a picture of my mom when she was only six years old. She is standing there in front of an easel holding a stack of crayons in her hand. On the side of her she is posing to show off her work because she was getting recognition for the house she drew. Just that picture alone gave me the idea to make a tutorial on "how to draw a house for kids", step by step. The house looks very much like the one in the photo, and because my mom drew almost the same house at age six, I thought that the same design would be something that all beginning artists can draw. Just because you can't become a member because of your age, that doesn't mean that you have to suffer. There are tutorials on here for everyone including stuff for the youngest artists. You can even tweak the tutorial by adding some flowers or maybe even coloring in your door red instead of a greenish yellow.

text: Wednesday, January 04, 2012 New Medicare Conditions of Participation Guidelines for Hospital-based Outpatient Settings APTA currently is in discussion with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding new interpretive guidelines that were issued November 18, 2011. This recent interpretation states that rehabilitation services must be ordered by a qualified practitioner who is responsible for the care of the patient and who has medical staff privileges to write orders for these services. CMS' Conditions of Participation rules apply to both inpatient and outpatient hospital-based settings and apply not only to Medicare beneficiaries but to all patients who receive services at the hospital. APTA believes that this new interpretation is inconsistent with the current regulation and that it poses problems for physical therapists and their patients in hospital-based settings. The association is working diligently to get further clarification from CMS and will keep members updated as soon as more information is available. Comments I agree that this is a problem. I work at a regional hospital and we need to take PT/OT and ST referrals from large urban teaching hospitals when patients return to our isolated town. Posted by Mary Veale -> =GSZDF on 1/4/2012 5:17 PM I agree that this is a significant issue to all regional hospitals. We frequently take PT/OT and ST referrals from larger urban teaching hospitals. This allows the patient to receive follow up care closer to home. The commute to the larger hospitals will prevent some patients from getting follow up care. Posted by Julie Parfitt -> =KY`EF on 1/4/2012 6:21 PM Another problem with the CoP's for hospitals is the requirement that all physician orders be timed. While this is not a problem in the inpatient setting, it's a huge problem for outpatient therapy orders received from both physicians who have hospital privileges as well as those that do not. Rick Gawenda, PT President Section on Health Policy & Administration APTA Posted by Rick Gawenda -> =IY`?L on 1/4/2012 8:44 PM This is a problem for our PT dept. at a Critical Access Hospital in Hawaii. Many of our referrals come from orthopedic surgeons who are on the island of Oahu. Patients return home from Oahu to this small island, for rehabilitation following surgery at the Oahu hospitals. Other specialists at the Oahu hospitals also refer patients to us. Most do not have privileges at our small hospital. Posted by Mary Anne Hill Posted by Mary Hill -> =GVaCK on 1/4/2012 9:42 PM I agree that this is a very significant and serious problem for compliance, and is not needed. On the IP side, patients are already referred by physicians that are priviledged on that hospital staff. On the OP side, a significant percentage of patients are referred by physicians who are licensed to practice medicine, referred to licensed PTs, who follow all Medicare guidelines; the new law would require added cost for the patient to travel back ONLY to where they could be seen; having the patient see another (priviledged) physician locally so that the referring physician meets criteria delaying care and adding unnecessary cost). On our administrative end, we would need to make sure that the referring physician is priviledged and then maintains their priviledge- another expense. This is an example of overregulation that does not add quality or value to to the patient experience- only cost. Ed Dobrzykowski Posted by Edward Dobrzykowski -> >OT_D on 1/6/2012 3:20 PM I think this is more then fair. Hospital based outpatient practices have all kinds of special privileges free-standing clinic don't, the greatest of which is no cap restrictions because they are hospital based, whether their location is any were near the hospital. Regulating care to that hospital's participants is at least attempting to level the playing field. I don't think any care not referred directly from a hospital stay should be allowed at hospital based outpatient practices. Why else do they have special privileges with regard to cap exemption directly related to hospital based status. Posted by Trevor Harting on 1/6/2012 4:10 PM This would be another needless burden for both the patient and the provider. The Joint commission looks to see if we check the licensure of every non facility credentialed referral source. If this were to stand, the attending staff would not be able to handle the volume and patients would go without their care. Question...does this apply to all non rehab outpatient services as well? Posted by Jim Dunleavy PT, MS on 1/6/2012 4:51 PM Do hospital based outpatient clinics have any advantage because we are exempt from the reimbursent caps? It seems to me that the effect of the cap exemption is to ensure that our case mix is predominantly medicare (who reimburses well below what private insurers reimburse). We average around 40% medicare at our clinic while our competitors can refuse to accept medicare patients and fill their schedules with better paying insurers. Maybe I'm all wet Trevor, but I don't see the advantage of the cap exemption the way that you do. This issue is about putting unnecessary burden on the clinics who will be seeing the majority of these patients. I hope that the APTA can get this wording changed. Posted by Joe Falls PTA on 1/6/2012 7:32 PM Keep in mind as well, all OP hospital based clinics must be within a 35 mile radius from the main hospital, have to follow the JCAHO standards that the private clinics do not- they are reviewed as part of the hospital JCAHO review; All settings (private and hospital based) must be ADA compliant; but in the hospital based world they also must have the state dept of public health come in and approve the setting and set up with their standards prior to operations and this must be maintained- subject to reviews as well; They are much more heavily regulated then the private clinics. There is a significant cost to that. Posted by mjacobson, PT on 1/7/2012 10:37 AM Is this not just a blatant attempt by CMS to have another avenue for denials for non-compliance? Otherwise it makes no sense. I work in a small to medium sized town in a hospital based OP clinic, where we probably have over 100 local and county PCPs that don't have priveledges at our hospital. There aren't enough private practices to handle the amount of business that we would have to turn away until we came up with some type of credentialling process to serve the public. I think Trevor is very short sighted, is it about a playing field or helping people? Posted by Jim Estes, PT on 1/8/2012 12:17 PM Patient autonomy is the real loser in this ruling. I work for a hospital based OP clinic, but do not want to choose a PT or any other healthcare professional based on where I initially sought medical care. Just as with any business with competition, some hospitals are better at others in areas of care, but patients should not have their continuum of care dictated to them based on previous treatment. This is a very poor ruling and will hurt patient care in the end. Let's fight this as colleagues no matter what our setting. Posted by Josh Farley, DPT on 1/9/2012 10:44 AM In rural hospitals this would be the kiss of death for hospital based outpatient clinics, that receive the bulk of their referrals from larger teaching hospitals. The patients would be forced to drive long distances to get their care. This is another example of the federal government's attempt to silo healthcare to specific areas. I think the APTA needs to fight hard to change the wording of this law. The federal government is trying to decrease utilization every way they can, unfortunately it will lead to poor health outcomes for our elderly. Posted by Ellis Hall on 1/9/2012 11:00 AM My answer to Ellis Hall is perhaps the federal government is trying to decrease the over utilization of therapy services. Too many therapists still treat to the end of insurance, struggling to find real need for continuing treatments until the money stops.. Posted by martha propst on 1/9/2012 3:47 PM It is absurd that legislators or bureaucrats make rules like this one. The license to practice in good standing is all that should matter. Posted by Tom Reeves DPT ATC on 1/9/2012 3:51 PM As P.T. and a Manager of a Rehab department in a small hospital (both in and outpatient), I see this as a major detriment for the Medicare population accessing Physical Therapy in the outpatient setting and having the CHOICE of location, as many of our patients live in the vicinity, are limited by access to transportation, the trend in my area of closure of other hospital outpatient clinics, OR freestanding clinics not taking Medicare patients. Posted by Heidi Endert on 1/10/2012 5:54 PM Talking about leveling the playing field: Ad to this the restriction that all medical staff can ONLY refer to a hospital based clinic( does this change the taste?). This is one of the most absurt proposed rules I have seen in a long time! Posted by Sednanre,P on 1/12/2012 11:11 AM 482.54 of the CoP speaks to Outpatient Services, and it does not contain such restrictive language for limiting referrals to only those that come from the hospital's medical staff physicians. That said, we can only hope that 482.56(b) speaks to "Inpatient" Rehabilitation, which seems to make more sense. Posted by Sid Hsu on 1/12/2012 4:04 PM I see this as a problem. I am a lymphedema therapist in a large,urban hospital based outpatient setting. I receive referrals from physiacians all over the state since most small towns don't have lymphedema therapists. Many of my patients drive quite a way to see me for treatment, but are so thankful for the treatment. Now they won't be able to receive qualified treament for this difficult diagnosis. Posted by Ginger Stover on 1/15/2012 3:42 PM So, is anyone following this currently? We also have several therapist who are certified in many different areas including lymphedema & vestibular rehab. Many physicians refer to us specifically for those purposes. Is anyone turning patients away due to this? Posted by Tammy Rouse on 1/16/2012 12:09 PM I am the manager of a PM&R Department (inpt and outpt) and we have not changed practice...yet. I just learned of the proposed changes yesterday and I am hoping the APTA provides direction in short order. Has anyone taken steps to follow this guideline? Posted by Keith Hammerschmidt on 1/20/2012 10:12 AM Is there any additional information about this ruling? Posted by Michael Duchaj -> =OS`EG on 1/23/2012 6:38 PM I have just searched all websites and Medicare for updates or fruther explanation but find none. We have reached out to our hospital state organization for assistance. Posted by Lynne Holland on 1/25/2012 9:38 AM I have not and CANNOT change our practice. I am the director of a hospital department in northern Arizona. We serve people who live in rural areas, including the surrounding reservations. While there are several other PT practices in our city, they may not accept the state Medicaid or IHS. We also provide many services not offered by others such as wound care, lymphedema management and PT is integrated with other disciplines which is necessary for many of our patients. I am disturbed that some of the comments mention leveling the playing field and the importance of assuring all PTs in private practice get an adequate number of patients. These comments ignore the real needs of the people we are entrusted to serve. I appreciate the work the APTA is doing to address this tranmittal and look forward to direction as to how the membership can best help. Posted by Lori Pearlmutter on 1/25/2012 11:41 PM I am also concerned over the exclusion of nurse midwives. We have found that there is an enourmous amount of need and demand for pelvic floor PT. The primary area of need and referral sources are the nurse midwives in the area. There are no private PT's offering this service within a 3 hour drive of our rural location. This exclusion will create significant barriers to care and leave a large population of individuals without available treatment. Posted by Douglas Keith on 1/26/2012 9:00 AM I agree with Lori in AZ. I am Director of Rehab in a smaller community hospital. We provide multi-discipline services to Medicare and Medicaid patients that they cannot receive in the other private clinics in the area. Many of our Medicare patients cannot drive far or depend on others for transportation. Copays are different for freestanding vs. hospital-based, and we try to alert our patients so they don't end up spending way more than they have to. Instead of fighting turf wars with each other, we should be working together to meet the needs of all of our patients. Besides, Medicare is looking at putting the cap in place in hospital OP. Let's hope that doesn't happen. Posted by Sue Dupont on 1/26/2012 6:30 PM Crazy interpretation. Where is patient choice in this decision? So if you are holding a valid PT referral and you want to see the PT Guru in your town who happens to work for a hospital you can't unless your referring physician has privileges there. So now in order to see that PT you need to visit a physician with hospital privileges to obtain a referral. Along the way everyone is billing Medicare for the visits, and we wonder why our healthcaresystem is going broke...... Posted by Ryan Grella on 1/26/2012 10:29 PM As a followup our state organization has reached out to AHA. AHA is drafting up a comment/clarification letter and has been talking to CMS about this issue. Posted by Lynne Holland on 1/27/2012 1:47 PM Today we started implementing a plan to comply with this ruling. This applies to all outpatients not just Medicare outpatients. I am a rehab director for a small rural hospital with 4 outpatient clinics, two of which are in areas with limited access to services, one is in an areas where there are no hospitals or private practices. As far as I am concerned this ruling is worse than the cap because at least with the cap a patient has a choice where they can go for care for a limited amount of time, with this there is no choice. I agree with Sid Hsu, it sounds more like Inpatient Rehabilitation language than outpatient language. Until it changes, we don't have a choice but to comply. If we don't comply we are putting our hospital's at risk. I too, am grateful for the APTA's efforts in resolving this issue and once I get our patient's taken care of, I plan on writing my legistlators about the negative effects of this ruling on their constituents. Posted by Sandy Myers on 1/27/2012 3:47 PM This is great news as the hospitals have been buying up physician practices for years and prohibiting them from referring to less costly private practice outpatient centers. If the physician does refer to a place outside the hospital based facilty their charts are flagged. Posted by George Herbig on 2/3/2012 9:43 AM Mr. Herbig, While I understand your concern and I think the practice you speak of occurs, I don't think it is widespread (to that extent). I don't have proof of this, but I think that is besides the point. We are very careful to expouse the benefits of returning to our hospital for OP therapy, but CLEARLY reinforce that it is up to the patient. The issue at hand is that CMS appears to be intending one thing (one, referral by qualified clinicians, and two, improved continuity of care by assuring close contact of the referral source and the treating therapist). There is merit in these intentions but the unintended consequences are the problem. My program provides multidisciplinary therapy services. Only 2-3 other programs exist in my medium size city. We also provide specialty programs such as Lymphedema, Wound Care, Vital Stim therapy etc. While we get many in house referrals, there are many docs that refer to us from private practice that don't have privelages at our hospital. Where will those patients go? This could drive down program development significantly. There are also non-hospital affiliated private practices that do great work, have lower overhead, and thus lower cost. Why can't patients go there? Its up to the PT/OT/SLP to collaborate with the referring MD no matter where he/she writes an order from. This is already part of Medicare standards. By the way, I don't understand why hospitals (including mine)are exempt from the cap and so, I could support that changing, as long as the exceptions process is made permanent. And why in the world should CMS be able to dictate where non-Medicare/Medicaid patients go for services?! We provide pediatric therapy, most Pediatric MDs in our town only have privelages at the Children's Hospital, so there patients now HAVE to go there?! As for that last part, frankly I don't see that clause when I read the transmittal, but the APTA says it applies to all payors. Perhaps its elsewhere in the regs? Posted by Jeremy Ramage -> >GP]EO on 2/7/2012 3:44 PM Thank you for sharing this article that contains this kind of serious concern. Posted by MD Premier on 10/9/2015 3:02 AM

Help monitor Madagascar's most mysterious predator, the fosa, and protect its fragile island habitat.
Have a question?
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
Join a team of international and local researchers to learn about and protect the fossa of Madagascar.
You'll become immersed in the forests of Madagascar as you hike to the research areas, often for up to 12 miles (20 kilometers) a day. You'll rotate among a variety of tasks: setting traps for fossas and checking them in the early morning and late afternoon, helping to radiotrack fossas, and perhaps helping to measure trapped and sedated animals.
You'll have a chance to spot some of Madagascar's many lemur species. Midday is often free for informal lectures or hikes through the fossa's forest home. In the evenings you may join in gatherings or ceremonies in the nearby village of Ampijoroa.
Your help comes in the nick of time, as deforestation and hunting threaten many of these special mammals and their habitat.
The survival of Madagascar's carnivores depends upon our ability to learn about and provide for their needs.
Madagascar's lemurs are famous, but their rare predator the fossa remains a mystery. The catlike fossa is a large relative of the civets and mongooses. Seven of the eight civet-like carnivores that stalk Madagascar's forests are found nowhere else in the world. Their habits and population status are virtually unknown. Earthwatch teams are monitoring carnivore populations in the forests.
Dr. Luke Dollar releases a fossa after conducting research.
Madagascar is the third largest island in the world and part of the Madagascar and Indian Ocean islands biodiversity hotspot. Increased development in Madagascar has led to degradation of the island's natural heritage. What remains of natural habitat is contained within national parks, but these are lightly managed at best. The Ankarafantsika National Park in northwest Madagascar is one of the largest tracts of dry deciduous forest left.
As the first long-term study of Madagascar carnivores, this project is building a wealth of knowledge and helping to develop management plans and practical activities for conservation. The goal of the project is to study the abundance, behavior, and conservation ecology of carnivores across Madagascar, with primary focus on the fossa.
You'll be based at Ampijoroa Research Station in Ankarafantsika, Mahajanga Province. The station serves the 333,592-acre (1,350-square-kilometer) Ankarafantsika Protected Areas Complex, one of the last and largest tracts of dry deciduous forest in Madagascar. The area has more than 13 miles (20 kilometers) of well-marked trails through the forest that features tall baobab trees, stands of precious woods such as palisandre, and many species of orchid. Ankarafantsika boasts seven lemur species, including the acrobatic Coquerel's sifaka, the rare mongoose lemur, and the nocturnal woolly, sportive, and mouse lemurs. A variety of bird, reptile, and amphibian species also inhabit the area.
Volunteers are guests living near a traditional Malagasy village. You may be invited to participate in village activities or ceremonies. The local people work extraordinarily hard to help this project succeed. A heartfelt "thank you" or "misaotra betsaka tompoko" is the best way of expressing gratitude for Malagasy hospitality.
This is a summary:
As a volunteer, you'll help the research staff:
Mealtimes and optional morning and afternoon activities provide opportunities for team interaction and development. Special seminars and lessons may be given by research staff, Malagasy graduate assistants, and invited guests to large groups after during non-research times.
While the fossa looks catlike, it's most closely related to the mongoose.
The fosa is the top predator of the Malagasy food chain, but we know so little about it that scientists still argue about how few of these extraordinary predators remain.
For over a decade, Earthwatch volunteers have helped Dr. Luke Dollar study the enigmatic carnivore of the Red Island.
Earthwatch scientist Dr. Luke Dollar has spent over a decade investigating and publicizing the plight of the fosa, a unique carnivore native to Madagascar.
You'll stay at a tented research station with showers and pit toilets in Ankarafantsika National Park, Mahajanga Province, in the northwest part of Madagascar.
Staff cooks will prepare local fare, based on rice and beans, vegetables, and fruit, topped off occasionally with exquisite, locally produced chocolates.
Meat dishes will also be available, served separately from vegetarian fare. There are a couple of small stores nearby with a limited variety of items for purchase (soda, etc.), as well as a cooler with soft drinks at the research station.

Spectrum TV in Center Conway New Hampshire Will Keep You Entertained!
Are you considering buying Spectrum TV in Center Conway New Hampshire? The television industry is going through a revolution of sorts at this moment. It is not just the television sets that are getting better, but the programming quality has also taken quite a leap. There is so much quality programming worth your time on the television. But, thanks to the inept bundling of the various channels by most of the cable TV service providers, customers either have to miss all their favorite television programming or pay sky-high prices for higher packages.
When competing service providers are taking their subscribers for granted, a service like Charter Spectrum TV™ is a gold mine to discover. The service offers you a lot to choose from its wide selection of entertainment. There are many other features that come along with a Spectrum connection, which you are going to simply fall in love with.

The One For The Sports Lovers
Good sports programming is not that easy to find. If you have ever done your research for sports channels, you will know that most services offer sports programming only as part of their high priced packages. As a sports lover, this must break your heart. Everyone else around you gets to watch what they want for rather reasonable prices, but when it comes to your favorite, it is only the higher priced package that offers anything of interest. But not with the Spectrum Channel Lineup in Center Conway New Hampshire.
Spectrum TV offers exactly what you need at the most affordable prices. How do they do that? Well, they have bundled their services in a way such that basic sports programming is available with all their packages. So, no matter which pack you are opting for, you get to enjoy ESPN, Fox Sports 1, MLB Network, Big Ten Network, and the Golf Channel.

Also, do not forget about all the events that are listed on the Spectrum library, which you can enjoy on a pay-per-view basis. So, for more entertainment, you can tap into this library as well.

Watching content in high definition is an experience unto itself. When each line and each hue is as clear as day, it is easier to appreciate the beauty delivered to your television by the artists.

If you do not like to wait a day for the next episodes, then just store them on the Spectrum TV Digital Video Recorder and binge watch. On the top of this, you can pause, rewind and forward the content on the DVR.

Dr. Ra-Havreii
DAMN. Nice!!! MORE!!! Contact Paramount-Viacom, they've got a really viable/feasible winner here.
nice work looking forward to your work on Troi and Riker as well as Vale
These have a great style and sense of design. A live action show might be beyond possibility for post-TNG Trek right now, but it'd be cool if there was some sort of animated movie or miniseries put out there to test the waters.
That image really suits her.
But you gotta feel sorry for Noah when she´s around:
Aili Lavena
I have not read the Titan novels, but ... That crew just seems odd. Is Riker the only Human on board? Sure seems that way...
Novels may not have the budget restrictions of regular shows when it comes to having "regulars" as exotic aliens, but the difference strikes me as excessive.
Not exactly the only human but Riker made it a point to assemble the most diverse crew to date. It actually servers for a lot of interesting subplots.
Im happy theres a Cardassain and Feringi on bouard this vessel as crew
Just love this, and love the concept of the character.
I am always happy to see less "humanoid who breaths only oxygen" type of race... the Pacificans are an interesting idea
Well done again!
Christine Vale
Two more to go.
The Trois
Any plans on completing the set with Alyssa and Noah?
Yes. I thought I'd do a second "card series" with the secondary characters and those who've died or otherwise left the ship.
But before that I thought about making some desktop wallpapers of some scenes from the books.
Love the work. Glad to see all of the different characters so far. What's with the uniforms through? Are you changing them to almost resemble those used in Countdown and the online game?
Not so much. I wanted a sort of familiar/generic Starfleet uni that could easily translate to animation. No big concept there, just simplicity. I flipped the color scheme for Troi because she has a dual function on the ship, as Counsellor and Diplomatic Officer.
These are so cool
makes me wish CBS/Paromount would hurry up and do a new series or animated series while they still can
Separate names with a comma.

The (rather excellent) SWTOR UI editor only allows you to increase the scale of elements to 1.25 times the global scale'd size. You can increase it more than that simply by doing a bit of text editing.
First, make sure you save your interface. You also probably want to log out to character select (not sure if it's required, but may as well).
Next, find where SWTOR saved your interfaces at. Cairenn over at Swtorui posted a full guide on their forums but the short of it is:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\SWTOR\swtor\settings\GUIProfiles (on 7)
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\SWTOR\swtor\settings\GUIProfile (on XP)
If you can't find it, the guide walks you through how to turn on hidden items and such.
Okay, scary stuff over, open up the file with the name of the interface you want in the text editor of your choice. You could also make a new copy of it and save it as a different file name if you're scared of breaking stuff. Not altogether a bad idea.
If you're using Notepad for this (instead of say, Notepad++) it's going to look like a mess, but don't worry. We're only looking to change one variable per item, and it's XML so it's really easy to find it with searches (Ctrl+F in Notepad). All of the entries have the same names as they do in the editor, so remember that a "hotbar" is a "quickbar" in this game. A few other notables:
Player and Target Frames: PlayerPortrait / TargetPortrait
Target of Target Frame: TargetOfTarget
Operations Frames: RaidFrames (weird, I know)
Once you've found your section (did I mention this would be a lot easier if you were using a proper text editor), look for the following <scale tag>, probably looking something like
<scale Type="3″ Value="0.900000″ />
Change that Value=".9″ to whatever number you want. Save, and check it out in-game.
SWTOR saves interfaces at \AppData\Local\SWTOR\swtor\settings\GUIProfiles\EXAMPLE.xml
Open it up, find the <scale> element for the UI item you want to change and change the Value. Sky's the limit.
