Vendor Drug Program Quarterly Stakeholder Meeting
TPA attended the Vendor Drug Program's (VDP) quarterly meeting for pharmacy stakeholders this week. Topics of discussion included Medicaid's response to the opioid crisis, prescriber enrollment, outstanding balances and the specialty drug list. Regarding the opioid crisis, VDP shared they are currently discussing the implementation of safety prior authorizations for opioid medications and increasing access to Naloxone/Narcan. On prescriber enrollment, see article below "Process for Claims That Deny When Prescriber Not Enrolled." As for outstanding balances, VDP has recently identified pharmacies with outstanding balances and are in the beginning phases of addressing these outstanding balances. VDP did make sure to note that many of these outstanding balances are the result of the limited number of patients still being serviced under fee-for-service. If your payments from VDP are up to-date, no need to worry; however, if they are not, VDP will be working with you to bring your account back into balance. As this moves forward , VDP will be providing TPA and the other pharmacy organizations additional information to help you work through the problem. Lastly, VDP discussed the recent changes to the specialty drug list that has resulted in numerous questions and concerns from pharmacy. VDP is committed to working with TPA and pharmacy to address these questions and concerns.

House Human Services Committee Hearing
The House Human Services Committee held a hearing on April 24 to discuss Medicaid Managed Care. The hearing lasted for more than six hours and included testimony from Health and Human Services Executive Commissioner Charles Smith and State Medicaid Director Stephanie Muth, as well as various representatives of the managed care organizations. The committee will meet again on May 9 to continue discussions around network adequacy, participant and provider satisfaction and the future delivery of services.
Medicaid Decreases Daily MED in FFS
Beginning May 30, Texas Medicaid will decrease the daily morphine equivalent dose (MED) limit for people enrolled in Medicaid fee-for-service (FFS). The new limit will be set at 240 MED, and will be applied to all opioid prescriptions with exceptions for those people diagnosed with cancer or those receiving palliative or hospice care. The maximum allowable MED will continue to decrease over time as follows: Tentatively the MED will be 240 in May 2018, by September it will be decreased to 160 and will then be decreased to 90 in January 2019.
Process for Claims That Deny When Prescriber Not Enrolled
Starting April 30 and continuing until July 27, pharmacies should contact the HHSC Pharmacy Benefits Access Help Desk to obtain a manual override of the prescriber enrollment denial. The Help Desk will only override a denial one time per person per prescriber. After a person has received an override for a medication prescribed by a particular prescriber who is not enrolled, no more overrides will be available to that person for any additional prescriptions written by the same non-enrolled prescriber. Medicaid beneficiaries will be able to get an override for medication prescribed by another non-enrolled prescriber. When a denial is received and an override is not available, pharmacies should inform the person that his or her prescriber must be enrolled. To learn more about this, and about prescribing pharmacist enrollment, please visit the Vendor Drug Program website.

National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day: Saturday, April 28
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration posted a newly revised drug disposal page. This site contains information for patients and health care providers to help encourage patients to properly get rid of unused, unwanted, or expired prescription medications. Getting rid of these medications is important. When medicines are no longer needed, they should be disposed of promptly, preferably via a drug take-back option, to help reduce the chance that others will accidentally take or intentionally misuse the unneeded medicine. Given the opioid crisis, it is particularly important for opioids.

HHS Purchases Anthrax Antitoxin for Strategic National Stockpile
As part of the department's ongoing national preparedness efforts, HHS said Monday that it will buy obiltoxaximab (Anthim), an anthrax treatment, from manufacturer Elusys Therapeutics for $25.2 million. The treatment will be delivered to the Strategic National Stockpile. FDA approved obiltoxaximab in March 2016 for use in individuals suffering from inhalational anthrax. "Protecting the American people from 21st century threats, such as anthrax, remains a high priority for the department," said Robert Kadlec, assistant secretary for preparedness and response.

DEA Plan to Stem Supply of Prescription Drugs Draws Skepticism
With pressure building on the the Drug Enforcement Administration to stem the supply of prescription drugs, a new proposal aims to empower the agency to more aggressively limit manufacturing levels and to put hundreds of drug makers on notice. It's not yet clear whether the proposal will achieve either goal. According to a rule introduced last week, the DEA would be able to tighten overall quotas and individual quotas issued to manufacturers if it suspects supplies are being diverted for misuse — particularly in cases of "pill dumping."

Celebrex As Safe As Ibuprofen and Naproxen, FDA Advisers Say
A prescription painkiller that has been under a cloud for more than a decade is apparently safer than previously believed, a Food and Drug Administration panel concluded Wednesday. The drug celecoxib, which is sold by Pfizer under the brand name Celebrex, poses no greater risk for causing heart attacks and strokes than two other widely used pain relievers, the committee voted at the end of a two-day hearing. The vote was 15-5. One member abstained.

Pharmacies Can Administer Vaccines at a Lower Cost than Doctor's Offices and Medical Clinics, Study Shows
Providers and patients alike could stand to save time and money if federal law is reformed to allow pharmacists to administer all vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a new study released by the Pacific Research Institute found. The move would also make sense from a population healthstandpoint, since many people become sick, are hospitalized, or die from vaccine-preventable illnesses each year.

As Opioid Prescriptions Fall, Prescriptions for Drugs to Treat Addiction Rise
The number of new monthly prescriptions for medications that treat opioid addiction nearly doubled over the past two years, according to new data, while prescriptions for opioid painkillers continued to decline. The changing calculus reflects a stepping up of efforts among policymakers and the medical establishment to address the nation's opioid epidemic. But it also underscores questions about whether some pain patients are now being undertreated, and whether tightened prescribing over the last few years has contributed to the surge in overdose deaths from heroin and especially fentanyl.

Why Do the Insured Pay More for Prescriptions?
If you're like us, your health insurance coverage includes a prescription drug benefit. But the truth is that your insurer often pays nothing. Your co-pay is all the pharmacy receives. Not only that, but your co-pay often exceeds the amount that someone without insurance would have paid for the drug. That's right: People who don't have insurance are paying less than you are for the same drug.

Vitamin D Deficiency Again Associated with Increased Type 2 Diabetes Risk
A study in the journal PLOS ONE revealed that adults who had vitamin D levels below 30 ng/ml were as much as five times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those whose levels were 50 ng/ml. Researchers who examined data from 903 healthy adults without indicators of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes say it's not clear if the relationship is causal.

Weight Loss Drugs Were Commercial Flops. Can They Be Used for Addiction?
If dependence on cocaine or cigarettes is the result of addiction, is obesity in essence an addiction to food? Some scientists certain think so, which is why several weight loss drugs are being studied as potential addiction therapies. There are plenty to choose from: A wave of prescription weight loss drugs hit the market in recent years, and they were initially expected to perform well. But medications including Qsymia, Belviq, and Contrave have all flailed on the market — doctors and patients alike have been reticent to take them.

Express Scripts Targets New Migraine Drugs to Change U.S. Pricing Dynamic
Express Scripts is pressing drugmakers to forego the usual strategy of setting a high U.S. list price, then lowering the cost for health plans through hefty rebates. The PBM is specifically calling on Amgen and other makers of new migraine medicines to try and fix the current pricing model. The shift could help Express Scripts and other PBMs bring prices down and deflect growing criticism of their role as "middlemen" in the drug supply chain.

The Most — and Least — Friendly States for Telemedicine Startups
In 2016, executives at the buzzy telemedicine startup Nurx spoke openly about their ambitions. By the following year, the company's online services for birth control and the HIV prevention pill would be available in all 50 states. That never happened. Today, Nurx operates in just 17 states and Washington D.C. Nurx is part of a new wave of businesses that have attracted lots of excitement and investment for an idea that seems intuitive: Allowing patients to use online forms and chat messages to quickly get prescription drugs to treat simple conditions like urinary tract infections, erectile dysfunction, and hair loss.

Diabetes Screening Among At-Risk Patients May Cut Spending on Care, Study Finds
A study in Diabetologia showed that care for at-risk patients who were screened for diabetes status and cardiovascular risk and turned out to have type 2 diabetes was almost $3,300 less per person over five years than for patients who developed type 2 diabetes in a group that was not screened. Researchers found that the costs of screening among patients at moderate to high risk are likely offset by the benefits of earlier detection and treatment.

Suy Niệm – Chúa Nhật 5 Mùa Chay – April 18 – Năm B
by Joseph
Suy Niệm: Đức Giêsu dù biết chắc sứ mệnh Thiên Chúa Cha muốn Ngài thực hiện là đi con đường Thập Giá, con đường đau khổ. Nhưng vì sống kiếp con người mỏng dòn, bản tính yếu đuối. Đức Giêsu vẫn cảm thấy xao xuyến, bối rối khi chén đắng gần kề. Trong những giây phút đó, Đức Giêsu đã không ngừng hướng nhìn lên Cha, cầu khẩn, phó thác mọi sự trong tay Cha.
Cầu Nguyện: Lạy Chúa Giêsu, phải chăng cuộc đời chỉ có ý nghĩa, chỉ có giá trị khi con người biết sống quên mình, biết nghĩ đến tha nhân?
Vâng, nếu hạt lúa mì rơi xuống đất không thối đi, thì nó sẽ trơ trọi một mình. Nhưng nếu nó thối đi, sẽ sinh nhiều bông hoa. Ước gì cuộc đời chúng con là hạt lúa được chôn vùi – chôn vùi chính mình, để nẩy sinh nhiều bông hạt yêu thương cho Chúa, cho tha nhân. Amen.
Chúa Nhật 5 Mùa Chay – Năm B
BÀI ĐỌC I: Gr 31, 31-34
"Ta sẽ ký kết giao ước mới và Ta sẽ không còn nhớ tội lỗi nữa".
Bài trích sách Tiên tri Giêrêmia.
Chúa phán: "Đây tới ngày Ta ký kết giao ước mới với nhà Israel và nhà Giuđa, giao ước này không giống như giao ước Ta đã ký kết với tổ phụ của chúng trong ngày Ta cầm tay chúng dắt ra khỏi đất Ai-cập; giao ước ấy chính chúng đã phản bội, mặc dầu Ta thống trị chúng". Chúa phán: "Đây là giao ước Ta sẽ ký kết với nhà Israel sau những ngày đó. Ta sẽ đặt lề luật của Ta trong đáy lòng chúng, và sẽ ghi trong tâm hồn chúng; Ta sẽ là Chúa của chúng, và chúng sẽ là dân của Ta". Chúa phán: "Người này sẽ không còn phải dạy người nọ, anh sẽ không còn phải dạy em rằng: "Ngươi hãy nhìn biết Chúa", vì mọi người từ nhỏ chí lớn đều nhìn biết Ta, vì Ta sẽ tha tội ác của chúng, và sẽ không còn nhớ đến tội lỗi của chúng".
Đó là lời Chúa.

2) Ôi lạy Chúa, xin tạo cho con quả tim trong sạch, và canh tân tinh thần cương nghị trong người con. Xin đừng loại con khỏi thiên nhan Chúa, chớ thu hồi Thánh Thần Chúa ra khỏi con. – Đáp.
3) Xin ban lại cho con niềm vui ơn cứu độ, với tinh thần quảng đại, Chúa đỡ nâng con. Con sẽ dạy kẻ bất nhân đường nẻo Chúa, và người tội lỗi sẽ trở về với Ngài. – Đáp.

"Người đã học vâng phục và đã trở nên căn nguyên ơn cứu độ đời đời".
Bài trích thư gởi tín hữu Do-thái.
Khi còn sống ở đời này, Chúa Kitô đã lớn tiếng và rơi lệ dâng lời cầu xin khẩn nguyện lên Đấng có thể cứu Người khỏi chết, và vì lòng thành tín, Người đã được nhậm lời. Dầu là Con Thiên Chúa, Người đã học vâng phục do những đau khổ Người chịu, và khi hoàn tất, Người đã trở nên căn nguyên ơn cứu độ đời đời cho tất cả những kẻ tùng phục Người.
Đó là lời Chúa.
Câu Xướng Trước Phúc Âm: Ga 12, 26
Chúa phán: "Ai phụng sự Ta, hãy theo Ta, và Ta ở đâu, thì kẻ phụng sự Ta cũng sẽ ở đó".
PHÚC ÂM: Ga 12, 20-33
"Nếu hạt lúa mì rơi xuống đất thối đi, thì nó sinh nhiều bông hạt".
Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Gioan.
Khi ấy, trong số những người lên dự lễ, có mấy người Hy-lạp. Họ đến gặp Philipphê quê ở Bêtania, xứ Galilêa, và nói với ông rằng: "Thưa ngài, chúng tôi muốn gặp Đức Giêsu". Philip-phê đi nói với Anrê, rồi Anrê và Philipphê đến thưa Chúa Giêsu. Chúa Giêsu đáp: "Đã đến giờ Con Người được tôn vinh. Quả thật, quả thật, Ta nói với các con: Nếu hạt lúa mì rơi xuống đất mà không thối đi, thì nó chỉ trơ trọi một mình; nhưng nếu nó thối đi, thì nó sinh nhiều bông hạt. Ai yêu sự sống mình thì sẽ mất, và ai ghét sự sống mình ở đời này, thì sẽ giữ được nó cho sự sống đời đời. Ai phụng sự Ta, hãy theo Ta, và Ta ở đâu, thì kẻ phụng sự Ta cũng sẽ ở đó. Ai phụng sự Ta, Cha Ta sẽ tôn vinh nó. Bây giờ linh hồn Ta xao xuyến, và biết nói gì? Lạy Cha, xin cứu Con khỏi giờ này. Nhưng chính vì thế mà Con đã đến trong giờ này. Lạy Cha, xin hãy làm vinh danh Cha". Lúc đó có tiếng từ trời phán: "Ta đã làm vinh danh Ta và Ta còn làm vinh danh Ta nữa". Đám đông đứng đó nghe thấy và nói đó là tiếng sấm. Kẻ khác lại rằng: "Một thiên thần nói với Ngài". Chúa Giêsu đáp: "Tiếng đó phán ra không phải vì Ta, nhưng vì các ngươi. Chính bây giờ là lúc thế gian bị xét xử, bây giờ là lúc thủ lãnh thế gian bị khai trừ và khi nào Ta chịu đưa lên cao khỏi đất, Ta sẽ kéo mọi người lên cùng Ta". Người nói thế để chỉ Người phải chết cách nào.
Đó là lời Chúa.
Gospel Jn 12:20-33
Some Greeks who had come to worship at the Passover Feast
came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee,
and asked him, "Sir, we would like to see Jesus."
Philip went and told Andrew;
then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus.
Jesus answered them,
"The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies,
it remains just a grain of wheat;
but if it dies, it produces much fruit.
Whoever loves his life loses it,
and whoever hates his life in this world
will preserve it for eternal life.
Whoever serves me must follow me,
and where I am, there also will my servant be.
The Father will honor whoever serves me.
"I am troubled now. Yet what should I say?
'Father, save me from this hour?'
But it was for this purpose that I came to this hour.
Father, glorify your name."
Then a voice came from heaven,
"I have glorified it and will glorify it again."
The crowd there heard it and said it was thunder;
but others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
Jesus answered and said,
"This voice did not come for my sake but for yours.
Now is the time of judgment on this world;
now the ruler of this world will be driven out.
And when I am lifted up from the earth,
I will draw everyone to myself."
He said this indicating the kind of death he would die.
Daily Reading & Meditation
20 Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks. 21 So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus." 22 Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew went with Philip and they told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If any one serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; if any one serves me, the Father will honor him.
27 "Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? `Father, save me from this hour'? No, for this purpose I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name." Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again." 29 The crowd standing by heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him." 30 Jesus answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. 31 Now is the judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast out; 32 and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." 33 He said this to show by what death he was to die.
Old Testament Reading: Jeremiah 31:31-34
31 "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant which they broke, though I was their husband, says the LORD. 33 But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each man teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, `Know the LORD,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
Meditation: How does God bring us into an inseparable bond of love and unity with himself? God is a covenant-maker who draws men and women to himself in a bond of peace and friendship. God established a covenant with his people when he freed them from slavery in Egypt and brought them to his holy mountain at Sinai. "I will be your God, and you will be my people" (Exodus 6:7; Leviticus 26:12). But his people time and again broke covenant with him and did not follow his ways (Jeremiah 31:32) – "each did what was right in his or her own eyes" (Judges 17:26 and 21:25). God, nonetheless, continued to send his prophets to draw his people back.
A new and everlasting covenant
When the prophet Jeremiah was sent to the exiles to offer them a message of hope and restoration, he spoke of a new covenant that would surpass the previous covenant which God had made. God intended to establish a new and everlasting covenant that would wipe away the sins of his people and open the way to God's throne of mercy and grace (his undeserved favor and blessing). This new covenant would be sealed with the blood of the perfect sacrifice that Jesus would offer to the Father when he died upon the cross to atone for our sins. At the beginning of Jesus' ministry John the Baptist prophetically pointed to Jesus as the "Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, was sent from the Father in heaven to became a man for our sake so he could as man offer the one perfect sacrifice that would unite us with God and give us everlasting life.
Jesus' hour of glory
Shortly before the Jewish feast of Passover, Jesus announced to his disciples that the "hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified" (John 12:23). The Son of Man is a prophetic title for the Messiah recorded in the prophecy of Daniel (see the Book of Daniel 7:13-14). In Jesus' time the Jewish people were looking for a Messiah who would set them free from the oppressive rule of Rome. Jesus came to set people free from the worst oppression of all – the tyranny of endless slavery to sin, Satan, and death. Jesus came to bring us into a new covenant relationship with God that would not end with death but lead to eternal life.
Jesus announced to his followers that when "he would be lifted up from the earth, he would draw all people to himself" (John 12:32). What did Jesus mean by the expression of being "lifted up" and "drawing people to himself"? When a great leader won a complete and decisive conquest over his enemies and brought freedom and peace to his people, he was crowned and given a new title, as Victor, Savior, and Deliverer of the people. A conquering ruler was robed in royal splendor and raised up and enthroned on high in the sight of his people.
Victory through suffering and the cross
How did Jesus fulfill his mission as the Anointed (Messiah) King who came to bring victory and freedom for his people? Jesus knew that the only way to decisive victory for God's kingdom on the earth would be through his voluntary suffering and death on the cross. Jesus described his willingness to go to the cross as his "hour of glory" (John 12:23) when he would fulfill his Father's will and accomplish the mission entrusted to him. Jesus saw his death on the cross as triumph over the powers of sin and Satan's forces of darkness. The real enemy that Jesus came to overcome was Satan who tempts the human race to rebel against God and his commands in order to create their own destiny through sinful pride and disobedience. Jesus took our sins upon himself and nailed them to the cross to set us free from condemnation to death and destruction, and the eternal consequence of separation from God.
"Unless the grain of wheat dies…"
How can suffering and death bring life and freedom? Jesus used the illustration of the "grain of wheat" to show how God brings life from death and good fruit through patience and suffering. Seeds by themselves are worthless and lifeless. Only when the seed is destroyed by burying it in the ground, can it rise to new life and bear fruit.
What is the analogy which Jesus alludes to in the image of the grain of wheat that must first die in order to rise to new life and bear good fruit? Is this simply a veiled reference to his own impending death on the cross and to his resurrection? Or does Jesus have another kind of "death and rebirth" in mind for his disciples as well? Jesus, no doubt, had both meanings in mind. Jesus' obedience and death on the cross obtain for us freedom and new life in the Holy Spirit. His cross frees us from the tyranny of sin and death and shows us the way of perfect love and readiness to lay down our lives in sacrificial service for the good of others.
A new "creation" in Christ
If we want to receive the abundant new life and the fruit of the Spirit which the Lord Jesus freely offers us, then the "outer shell" of our fallen sinful nature must first be broken and be put to death. In baptism our "old nature" which was enslaved by sin is buried with Christ so we may rise to new life with Christ through the cleansing waters of baptism. Paul the Apostle describes this death and rebirth in Christ as a "new creation" which Christ accomplishes in us through the power of his saving death and resurrection (2 Corinthians 5:17).
This process of death to the "old fallen self" is both a one-time event which occurs in our baptism, and it is also a daily, on-going cycle of growth in which the Holy Spirit buries us more deeply into Jesus' death to sin so we might rise anew in the power of God's love, righteousness (moral goodness), and holiness. There is a great paradox here. Death leads to life. When we "die" to our selves – to our rebellious sinful nature and willful rejection of God's commandments – we receive God's forgiveness and the life-changing power of the Holy Spirit which frees us to love and serve others, and follow God faithfully. It is God's free gift of grace (his blessing and favor towards us) and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit that enables us to live and serve joyfully as sons and daughters of God.
Pruning and bearing good fruit in Christ
How can I practically "die" to myself so that the Lord Jesus can live in me and transform me into his likeness and holiness? It certainly means that what is contrary to God's will must be "put to death" within me. God gives us grace to say "yes" to his will and the strength we need to reject whatever is contrary to his commands and plan for our lives. The Lord Jesus promises that we will bear much "fruit" for him, if we choose to deny ourselves for his sake and embrace his will for our lives.
Jesus used strong language to describe the kind of self-denial he had in mind for his disciples. "He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life" (John 12:25). What did Jesus mean when he said that a follower of Christ must hate himself or herself? The expression to hate something often meant to prefer less. Jesus says that nothing should get in the way of our preferring him and the will of our heavenly Father above all else. Paul the Apostle reminds us that "what is sown in the earth is subject to decay, what rises is incorruptible" (1 Corinthians15:42). Do you believe in the power and victory of Christ's saving cross and resurrection? And are you ready to reject whatever is contrary to God's commands and to trust him for the strength and joy to embrace his will for your life?
"Lord Jesus, let me be wheat sown in the earth, to be harvested for you. I want to follow wherever you lead me. Give me fresh hope and joy in serving you all the days of my life."
Psalm 51:3-4,12-15
3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight, so that thou art justified in thy sentence and blameless in thy judgment.
12 Restore to me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners will return to thee.
14 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation, and my tongue will sing aloud of thy deliverance.
15 O Lord, open thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.
Daily Quote from the early church fathers: Love what is in the image of God, by Caesarius of Arles (470-543 AD)
"Whatever you love is either the same as yourself, below you or above you. If what you love is beneath you, love it to comfort it, care for it and to use it but not to cling to it. For example, you love gold. Do not become attached to the gold, for how much better are you than gold? Gold, indeed, is a shining piece of earth, while you have been made in the image of God in order that you may be illumined by the Lord. Although gold is a creature of God, still God did not make it according to his own image, but you he did. Therefore, he put the gold beneath you. This kind of love should be despised. Those things are to be acquired for their usefulness, but we should not cling to them with the bond of love as if with glue. Do not make for yourself members over which, when they have begun to be cut away, you will grieve and be afflicted. What then? Rise from that love with which you love things that are lower than you, and begin to love your equals, that is, things that are what you are… The Lord himself has told us in the Gospel and clearly showed us in what order we may have true love and charity. For he spoke in this way, 'You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul and with your whole strength. And your neighbor as yourself" (Luke 10:27). Therefore, first love God and then yourself. After these, love your neighbor as yourself." (excerpt from SERMONS 173, 4-5.25)

|Performance Modifications for the NG900 / Old 9-3 This forum contains PERFORMANCE related Q&A's for the NG900 and 9-3. This may also include suspension.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
I like big intercoolers as much as the next bloke, but you all should know that higher flow doesn't necessarily result in higher horsepower. In fact for a small displacement engine with high boost you need surface area WAY more than you need flow.
Also a restrictive intercooler can be useful in some sense. If your car is flowing lots of air (such as in the Viggen) but not running high boost at high RPM (the Viggen's boost tapers significantly) then putting a restrictive intercooler will put your turbo in a happier place on the map.
Contrary to popular belief most turbo's, including the ones on the stock Viggen and Aero, are happiest with a pressure ratio of about 2.5:1. That equates to a boost pressure (at the turbo outlet) of 22 psi, if you assume inlet pressure to be ambient.
In the case of the Viggen the restrictive, but long intercooler, combined with the restrictive intake pipe is designed specifically to put the turbo at the best place on the compressor map for stock boost. At max power the Viggen is at about 13.5 psi of boost ... if we assume 5 psi pressure drop across the IC, and 1 psi pressure drop from the air filter and intake pipe we can calculate the pressure ratio at the turbocharger as follows:
14.7(ambient) + 13.5 + 5(IC restriction) = 33.2 psi of absolute pressure @ turbo outlet
14.7(ambient) - 1(drop from air filter) = 13.7 psi absolute pressure @ turbo inlet
33.2 / 13.7 = 2.42
2.4 pressure ratio isn't the most efficient place on the map, BUT it is the most efficient place on the high flow side of the map, which is where you are going to be before the intercooler restricts anything. This means that in stock form, getting a larger intercooler, and better intake pipe may actually result in higher intake temps, and increased turbo wear because you are spinning the turbo outside its ideal map.
For an upgraded Viggen the higher flow IC and intake pipe help at high revs, but you might still see more benefit from a water sprayer for the IC, or water injection. And some B234i naturally aspirated camshafts would help out more with top end.

|The Viggen IC is only $159 New from Genuine Saab without the hoses, so it doesn't seem worth while to buy off Ebay for only a few bucks less....
I recently was able to find a VIC on ebay, for $150 new, without the hoses. I asked him to hold it for me, but I may go for an aluminum universal IC on ebay instead.
I suggest if you don't know how to work with custom hosings, then it would be best to order it from Genuine Saab.
Nick, may have more to say about this.
|Bobby Digital
So what was the cost of the VIC from the Saab dealer? I see http://www.genuinesaab.com/detail.asp?product_id=ic-kit at $375...is that completely unreasonable? I was considering this as one of the mods for 9-3. Do you guys suggest going a different route or is the genuinesaab.com kit a good price?
BTW...great write-up
Standard IC or VIC? Diagrams!
So, this weekend I switched IC to a VIC. Took a lot of time, and was quite difficult. If you are to do this, buy the hose from the turbo to the VIC at SAAB, making that hose from "spare parts" was hard work!
And, did it make any difference? Hm, perhaps I should wait a little longer to let the adaptation take place, but I ran a test as soon as it was assembled
The temp was not much affected, it rises almost the same amount (perhaps getting 3" will make the VIC more worthwile here).
The most interesting part is that the pressure from the turbo was much more stable using the VIC, the second dip in pressure was also eliminated. This can most probably be credited to the VICs better flow.
Note that the pressure is divided by 10 to fit the diagram better. Max pressure with the VIC was 215kPa.

The controller further acknowledges the general principles of processing as well as the rights of a data subject and more information in relation to these provisions are provided within this fair processing notice.
a. Lawfulness, fairness and transparency
Personal data must be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner.
In order to provide milk and dairy products the controller collects personal data from data subjects who subscribe to this service. This data is collected in paper format and then added electronically. No personal data is collected from any third party or publicly available source.

The request for 2 trade references and a bank reference is also part of the credit checking process. The credit checking process is not an automated process.
No automated decision making will take place which involves the personal data of any data subject.
In terms of the lawful basis for processing, all of the above information is considered necessary for the delivery of a contract between the data subject and the controller, however as the controller is a public authority (as defined by data protection law), the lawfulness of processing does not relate to the legitimate interests of the controller or third party.
a. Purpose Limitation
Personal data must not be collected except for a specific, explicit and legitimate purpose and, once collected, must not be further processed in a manner incompatible with the purpose for which it was collected.
The controller acknowledges its responsibility with regards to this data protection principle and therefore the controller maintains that it will not further process that personal data in a way which is incompatible to its original reason for processing as specified in section 2a, or unless the controller is required to do so by law. The personal data will not be transferred to a recipient in an authorised or an unauthorised jurisdiction (as per the definition within data protection law).
b. Minimisation
Personal data processed must be adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purpose for which it is processed.
The controller maintains that it will only process the personal data which is detailed in section 2a, and will not process any further personal data that is not necessary in relation to the original reason for processing personal data as specified in section 2a, unless the controller is required to do so by law.
c. Accuracy
Personal data processed must be accurate, kept up-to-date (where applicable) and reasonable steps must be taken to ensure that personal data that is inaccurate is erased or corrected without delay.
The controller will ensure that all personal data that it holds is accurate and kept up-to-date, and any personal data that is inaccurate will be erased or corrected without delay.
d. Storage limitation
Personal data must not be kept in a form that permits identification of a data subject for any longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it is processed.
Where a data subject provides personal data to the controller for the fulfillment of a contract that data will be retained for as long as that contract is being upheld. Once the contract has ended the data will be removed within a reasonable amount of time unless there is a legitimate business reason as to why it should be retained.
The data required for the setting up of accounts will be removed once the credit checking process is complete
e. Integrity and confidentiality
Personal data must be processed in a manner that ensures its appropriate security, including protecting it against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.
The controller maintains to process all personal data with appropriate levels of security. In order to prevent unauthorised or unlawful processing of the personal data provided by data subjects, the controller has put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information that is collected.
f. Accountability
The controller is responsible for, and must be able to demonstrate, compliance with the data protection principles.
The contact details of the controller are as follows:

a. Right of access
A data subject has the right to be advised as to whether a controller is processing personal data relating to them and, if so, that individual is entitled to one free copy of their personal data (with further copies available at a fee prescribed by the controller). This is known as a Subject Access Request (SAR). Upon receipt of an SAR, the controller has a period of one month to adhere to the request (an extension of two further months can be sought by the controller depending upon the complexity and number of requests submitted by the data subject).
b. Right to data portability
A data subject has the right to data portability, this means that an individual is able to arrange for the transfer of their personal data from one controller to another without hindrance from the first controller. This right can only be utilized where the processing is based on consent or for the performance of a contract. This right cannot be used for processing by a public authority.
Where a data subject invokes the right to data portability, the data subject has the right to be given their personal data in a structure, commonly used and machine-readable format suitable for transmission from one controller to another. Upon the request of a data subject, the controller must transmit their personal data directly to another controller unless it is technically unfeasible to do so.
c. Exception to right of portability or access involving disclosure of another individual's personal data
A controller is not obliged to comply with a data subject's request under the right of access or right to data portability where the controller cannot comply with the request without disclosing information relation to another individual who is identified or identifiable from that information.

text: royalmarine 0 Posted May 16, 2013 Hey guys, been trying to find if it's possible to find the next empty cell in Excel. I have a program that writes several rows of data, but I need it to find the next empty row to use. I can search via a single column, which will do just fine, as I can ensure that no data exists in column 1 or column A. Not sure if it's available in excel.au3 or if I would need to use water's alpha version. Any suggestions? Thanks! p.s. I didn't provide any code as I have none as of yet, since I can't find anything to base some code off :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G.NA Clears the Rumor of Breast Enlargement Surgery
On MBC's talk show "Golden Fishery- Radio Star," that aired on February 6, Kang Ye Bin, Park Eun Ji, and G.NA appeared to reveal their secret problems.
During the show, G.NA was asked what she thought of her name being associated with breast augmentation surgery on search engines. G.NA answered, "When I search my name, it always involve 'G.NA Breast Augmentation.' It won't go away. I feel upset because it is very unfair."
G.NA continued, "People make up vicious and false rumors of me going to a clinic and getting plastic surgeries. But that is not true. All the women in my family have naturally big breasts. None of them, including my grandmother and my aunt, had breast enlargement surgery."

According to this article in the Sydney Morning Herald, Johnnie Walker are seeing a halo effect on their King George V whisky since launching the super-premium product: John Walker.
A bottle of John Walker would cost you $4,500 and you'd better be quick if you want one – only 330 bottles exist.
The company's brand ambassador Jonathan Driver, who launched John Walker in Australia this month, said:
"We are trying to make something that has elegance, sophistication, structure and nuance. This is our chance to show off stuff that we are proud of. It shows off what the guys [blenders] can do, and there's a market for it."
Interestingly, Driver claims that there's been a halo effect on King George V, which has seen a 15 per cent increase in sales. King George V retails for a slightly more affordable $1000.

Little Things Add Up A Key Clamps & Galvanised Steel Tube Case Study
So when the enquiry came through for key clamps and tube for butterflies our immediate reaction was… we don't do clamps that small…
However, when we sat down a read through the enquiry and the customers plans we realised that the clamps and tube were required to build a range of bespoke frames that would have netting placed over them to keep the butterflies safely inside.
Having converted the customers drawings into a bill of quantities and produced the necessary quote we realised that the 'little things' really do add up.
The initial plans that were drawn up by our customer were simple but enabled us to establish the exact dimensions and then recommend a selection of clamps and galvanised steel tube all in our size 6, 33.7mm option.
The finished frame is covered in a fine netting that ensures the butterflies are kept safely in doors but with plenty of room to fly around.
The case study is another great example of how flexible our products are and is a perfect excuse to show off a couple of my butterfly pictures….

New signing Chris Forrester was today challenged to rediscover the form that made him the hottest prospect in the League of Ireland.
Such was Forrester's potential Dons boss Derek McInnes attempted to sign him more than four years ago.
Ultimately Aberdeen lost out on the playmaking midfielder because they could not afford the transfer fee wanted by St Patrick's Athletic.
Forrester helped St Pat's win the top-flight title before transferring to Peterborough United in League One for an undisclosed fee in 2015.
Following Peterborough's decision to transfer list Forrester this season, McInnes moved to finally secure his man for £200,000 in a deal until summer 2021.
Forrester is back in his home country Republic of Ireland with the Dons at a pre-season training camp in Cork.
He is set to make his debut in a friendly against Cobh Ramblers on Saturday.
It is a long-awaited appearance in a Dons shirt McInnes hoped would materialise back in 2014.
Forrester underlined his potential by scoring for St Pat's in a 2-2 friendly draw with Aberdeen in Dublin in July 2014. But McInnes had made a move before then. He said: "I knew about Chris back then (July 2014) because I had been speaking to his agent.
"We were well aware that Chris was making headlines in the League of Ireland and was having that exposure. He was seen as the next one that was going to come across the water and get a transfer.
"We looked at Chris then and liked him but couldn't afford the transfer fee that eventually took him away.
"We had been well aware of Chris before we played St Pat's in that friendly."
In his first season in England the 25-year-old midfielder was a stand-out for Peterborough and forced his way into the Republic of Ireland squad.
He received a first international call-up in March 2016 for friendlies against Switzerland and Slovakia as part of the Euro 2016 build-up.
Forrester has yet to be capped. But his form saw him appointed Peterborough captain.
Following Forrester's impressive performance in a 4-1 FA Cup defeat to Premier League Chelsea in January 2017, Posh owner Darragh MacAnthony insisted the midfielder "would go on to be sold for millions and millions".
Less than 18 months later McInnes swooped to secure him for £200,000.
Now the Reds boss has urged Forrester to not only recreate that form that saw Peterborough rate him at around £4m. He also wants the Dubliner to produce the strongest season of his career to date, starting with the Europa League second qualifying round clash against Premier League Burnley next month.
On the multi-million price tag of 2017, McInnes said: "He has found himself in a place where he is not that at the minute.
"Chris had been playing a different type of role and had found himself a wee bit out of favour there (at Peterborough).
"That can happen sometimes with a player.
"I am hoping Chris sees this season as going to be the best of his career so far.
"If he can get to what we think he is capable of then we have a very good player in the squad.
"One who is capable of helping us."
Forrester is one of three midfielders signed by McInnes in what will be a busy summer transfer window. Another Dubliner, Stephen Gleeson, penned a two-year deal.
Republic of Ireland international Gleeson, 29, was a free agent having left Ipswich at the end of last season. Also secured was 18-year-old Lewis Ferguson from Hamilton.
The Scots clubs have failed to agree a training compensation package for Hamilton and it is set to go to a tribunal to decide the fee.
McInnes and Aberdeen are confident they have done their due diligence and the tribunal will reach a fee closer to their valuation than Accies.
The Dons initially offered in excess of £100,000 with Hamilton understood to be seeking around £900,000.
All three new signings are with the Dons at their training camp at Fota Island Resort in Cork.
McInnes said: "Midfield was an area of the team that needed addressed. We have brought in three players at different stages of their careers.
"However, they have all came in with the same intention of progressing their own careers and helping us at the same time.
"They all have their own qualities to show and I am sure they will do that in an Aberdeen shirt."
McInnes aims to secure further signings before facing Burnley in Europe.
He aims to sign another defender, ideally a full-back.
Despite already signing three midfielders McInnes remained keen on securing Hibs' Dylan McGeouch.
The Reds had offered the Scotland international the chance to become the club's top earner should he opt to move to Pittodrie. However, they look set to lose out in the race for McGeouch, whose Easter Road contract expires at the end of the month. The 25-year-old has held talks with Sunderland.
Rangers, Fulham and Blackburn are also interested in the midfielder.

Nomura slips to Q4 net loss, first quarter in red since 2011
[TOKYO] Nomura Holdings Inc, Japan's biggest brokerage, said on Wednesday it slid to its first quarterly net loss since 2011 in its fiscal fourth quarter as its retail division weakened and its overseas operations lost money for a sixth straight year.
Nomura, which said earlier this month it would cut some overseas operations in an effort to turn business around, reported a net loss of 19.2 billion yen (S$233 million) between January-March, compared with a net profit of 82.0 billion yen in the same period a year earlier.
The brokerage said net profit for the 12 months ended March fell 41 per cent to 131.55 billion yen from the year earlier's 224.79 billion yen, its best annual result for nine years.
The profit came in well below a consensus forecast of 181.35 billion yen by 10 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters Starmine.

Plan for next year!
With a lawn, you know what you're going to do next year: mow, water, add fertilizer, repeat. With a natural yard, every year brings something new and exciting. Winter is a great time to think about what you'd like to add to your yard.
Many gardeners like to draw maps of their yards to plan what will go where. These maps include not just dimensions but site conditions: the patterns of sun and shade, drainage, soil type, and so on. A successful garden plan accounts for site conditions, incorporating plants that will thrive with minimal extra help.
The next series of posts on this blog will cover different site conditions and how to consider them in a garden plan. Winters in Madison are long, but preparing for the coming spring helps them go by quickly!

Springer, which is a combination of opera and musical theater, offended some viewers, including a number of Christian groups, with its depiction of Biblical figures as guests on Springer's combative talk show.
Ofcom looked into the broadcast because it received 7,940 complaints before the show aired last January, and 8,860 afterward. The BBC received 55,000 complaints beforehand, and another 8,000 afterward.
Among the targets of the complaints were the show's use of curse words, the suggestion that Jesus was gay, and a re-enactment of the crucifixion.
The BBC's response to the complaints was that the show's artistic merit outweighed its offenses. For its ruling, Ofcam examined the show with reference to 12 sections of its standards code, and found no violations.
"Ofcom recognizes that a large number of people were deeply offended by the transmission," Ofcom said. The broadcast featured "strong language, violent behavior, and revelations of an extreme or shocking nature."
The group found, however, that "[w]hilst the show clearly had the potential to offend and indeed the intention to shock, it was set in a very clear context as a comment on modern television," and that Springer's strong language came well after clear warnings to viewers about the show's content.
In addition, much of drew complaints from viewers was clearly a dream sequence, which Ofcam called "a cartoon, full of grotesque images, which challenged the audience's views about morality and the human condition."
According to both Ofcam and the BBC, the number of complaints was unprecedented. The campaign against Springer "appears to have been the first large-scale Internet campaign to Ofcam on any broadcasting issue," the group said in its ruling.

Like humans, horses experience both slow-wave sleep and rapid-eye-movement (REM) deep sleep. REM sleep is thought to occur mostly when the horse is stretched out flat on his side, rather than resting on his chest.
During REM sleep people dream, and its a fair assumption that horses do the same. Their eyes move (obviously, that's why its called REM sleep), and they can make movements, much as sleeping dogs do. Elvis probably isn't dreaming here, not deeply asleep enough, but there's certainly something going on in that active little brain of his as he drops off!
Elvis dreaming?

The Convention Connection
Intro | Call the Doctor | Cosplay Queen | Trouble Women | The Little Gentleman | Star Struck | The Prophet of Steampunk
There may not be a unified field theory yet, but the axis of science, technology and popular culture brought together at the Silicon Valley Comic Con may help the world find the key someday. The Steve Wozniak-founded convention unites authentic scientists and wreakers of fictions, in addition to movie stars who prove the Peter Weller Rule. Weller will never overdraw the credit he got from starring in Robocop and Buckaroo Banzaithe cult film name-checked in Ready Player One. Weller will always work because science fiction and fantasy fans are the most ardent of all fans. And they never forget.
Celebs this year include Mads Mikkelsen, the asthmatic Le Chiffre from Casino Royale (2006) and Ian McDiarmid, the palpably evil Emperor Palpatine. Jeff Goldblum, a Weller Rule beneficiary because of Thor: Ragnarok, canceled. But Stan Lee is still slated for an appearancethe Marvel co-founder must have access to some xenotechnology that holds the Angel of Death at bay.
Nichelle Nichols, the classic Star Trek's Uhura, was there last year to introduce Mae Jemison, the first African American woman in space. And Andy Weir, author of The Martian and Artemis will be back for another visit. "He's been our mascot for all three years," says the SVCC's chairman, Trip Hunter.
Hunter worked with Wozniak at Fusion-io; organizing the event is one of his jobs as a marketer. "People carve out time for this because it's really fun."
Like just about every great gathering in the Silicon Valley, SVCC has had Goldilocks moments. The first year was too hot: the floor was jampacked, and the air conditioning broke. In 2017 the crowd was too sparse because of the 10,000-person science march at Chavez Park, encompassed by the SVCC. "Last year," Hunter said, "we expanded perhaps too much. It was a terribly expensive ordeal. You had to get organized with the police and the water and fire departments. There's a lot of hindsight in this business."
In 2017, Hunter only attended one panel because of his schedule. He went to see Jessica Coon, the Canadian linguist who was a source for the character Amy Adams played in Arrival. "I was unsure of how popular her talk was going to be, so I was gratified to find it standing room only. I felt like we must have been on to something. "
The surprises are always the best part of SVCClast year, I missed Shatner himself to go see warrior-woman movie star Pam Grier. Grier opened up about her considerable terrors and traumas. Her ability to project that lioness strength is all the more remarkable, considering what she's been through.
"The best thing that happened to me at these conventions was the time Janna Levin, an astrophysicist from Barnard, was on one of the panels," Hunter says. "Afterward, I got an email from a 15-year-old girl who told me, 'I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life until I saw Janna Levin.' I hope we're influencing kids into STEMbecause that would make this whole thing worthwhile.
"We're trying to do a recipe that's different than the San Diego Conthey do what they do very well. Woz said, 'I don't want to be the biggest, I want this to be the best we can do.' He's very sensitive to attendees not being happy. So we hope they'll like the mix that we're bringing."

So much splendor surrounds us. Living in the Midwest has satisfying appeal for those of us who are prone to appreciate Mother Nature. When we were younger, we were tied to our job responsibilities and the other survival responsibilities that go hand in hand with the rights we Americans are blessed to have within reach. Now that we are older, our harvest from life doesn't only come from the ground. It comes to us through our eyes and our hearts. All that we worked so hard to achieve is now our final hurrah. There have to be a lot of years of sweat and tears before any of us get to sit in the easy chair.
Our home is our trophy. It has only one bathroom, a front door and a back door. The rooms are small compared to most. But, they provide all we need, and they're paid for. We make sure that these later years are punctuated with fun stuff, but before all else, we stop to appreciate. That's a significant element missing from our society today. There's a tendency for us to always want more, but at this time of financial hardship for so many in our country.....maybe it's time we tend to be grateful with what we have, get it all paid for, and then look to the future.
It's my feeling that we all have to reach a certain age before life comes full circle and we understand these things. I don't know, but it seems to me that's how it is. All the warning signals that my mother gave me....well, I'm now watching them unfold. It's not that generations are at odds with one another. It's that the generations must co-exist, each owning their own accumulation of experiences. Let's all try to honor one another, and maybe this country will regain its global prominence. Every one of us Americans has a job to do now, so let's quit running around like we're on a race track. Please pause and appreciate.
