text: Friday, August 03, 2012 Johns Hopkins Conference to Focus on Creating New ICU Culture Interdisciplinary collaboration and coordination is vital to facilitate early mobility and rehabilitation in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. A recent stakeholders' conference aimed at improving long-term outcomes for ICU survivors identified important silos among critical care and rehabilitation clinicians working in the ICU, with these silos acting as a barrier to collaboratively advancing the field and improving patient outcomes. While clinical trials support the benefits of early rehabilitation for mechanically ventilated patients, implementing these interventions requires creating a new ICU culture based on proactive rehabilitation and interdisciplinary collaboration between all critical care and rehabilitation clinicians. Critical Care Rehabilitation Conference 2012: Creating and Sustaining a Physical Rehabilitation Program in the ICU, hosted by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine September 21-22, will bridge the interdisciplinary gap from research to clinical implementation at the bedside. APTA members Jennifer Zanni, PT, Michelle Kho, PT, PhD, and Michael Friedman, PT, MBA, will participate in panel discussions and present several sessions at the conference.

Geothermal System
As soon as the tent stakes from the 228th Commencement ceremony came out, the surveyor's stakes and fence posts went in. Work began on the College's next big capital project: the creation of geothermal fields for heating and cooling the soon-to-be-renovated Miller Library. Drilling rigs dug 168 wells, each 300 feet deep, and the wells are linked together with a network of underground piping. Next summer, the piping will be integrated into the new geothermal heating and cooling system that is part of the environmentally friendly renovation of the library. The same system will heat and cool adjacent Smith Hall. While the earth is opened up, the college installed an irrigation system. The lawn was totally regraded and sodded in mid-September.

I was excited to capture this video of a preschool friend doing the 9 Layout recently. The 9 Layout is a Montessori math activity that presents the ideas of place value and increments. Beads representing ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands are counted and matched with the numerals. Here, my friend has completed the ones place and has started the tens. She is adding bars of ten until she makes ninety. (You might turn down your volume. The background is a bit noisy.)
What I noticed when I reviewed the video is how she stops to reflect after each increment. She moves the bars up, adds one, then sits back to review or reflect on the work. This is one of the beautiful aspects of Montessori - or really, just scientific pedagogy in general - the child doesn't need a teacher to step in and say, "Great! That makes 60!" All she needs is to see how to do the work then be allowed to do it. When she is all finished with the tens, then she looks up at me. My mentor, Don Czerwinskyj, made sure I understood the importance of offering a child a reflection when they were finished with work. He told me to wait for the child to finish and watch her face when she looks up. Is she pleased? surprised? excited? confused? Wait for her to assess her own work before offering any feedback. In this child's case, when she looked up at me and seemed satisfied, I said, "Ok. You did it! You completed the tens. Are you ready to count the hundreds?" She said she was and she continued.
A friend of mine told me recently about visiting a preschool where every child's work was praised lavishly. Every painting or block structure was met with, "Oh my! That's the most beautiful picture/castle/birthday cake I've ever seen!!" Montessori educators try to avoid empty praise because it causes children to look outside themselves - rather than inside - for affirmation. Just like adults, kids have opinions about their work and their performance. If a child is happy with her work then we can be happy for her. If she is unsatisfied with her work or feels she doesn't understand it, we can offer empathy, advice, or suggestions - depending on what's needed.
When this student was finished with the work, I snapped this photo just as she added the last thousand cube. She was pleased with herself, as the photo shows.
Now, because my job is to observe and assess her understanding of the concepts she was learning, I noticed that she had only stacked 8 cubes, instead of 9. This was no time for criticism - look at that beaming face! So I commented on how pleased she was with her work. I asked her if we could count all of those cubes. When she got to 8 thousands she realized that she needed one more. She added one more cube, we counted them again together, and I said, "There are 9 thousands and this says 9000. Is that correct?" She said it was, and together we determined that her work was complete. She then put all of the materials away.
Sometimes we think our grown-up words are essential to motivate children to learn and to keep them on track. But most of the time, we could get by with a few words and more time simply observing and offering reflections. Rather than saying, "That's a beautiful painting," we could say, "Wow! You used 5 different colors in this painting. Do you have a favorite?" It requires more work for us to look so carefully before commenting, but it shows the child that we are truly interested in her work. And, we are interested in the process and not just the product.
If words fail us, we can always try those three little words everyone loves to hear, "You did it!"
~ Heather
I had the great pleasure of working in my former classroom today and it reminded me of why the three-year cycle in Montessori classrooms is so beneficial, not least of all, to the teachers.
Our Montessori preschool classrooms are composed of a mixed-age group of children who remain, ideally, in one classroom for three years. A child starts at age three and stays through her Kindergarten year. This is called the three year cycle. Each of those years brings new and unique learning opportunities for the child. As a three-year-old, the child observes her older peers and benefits from their experience. As a four-year-old, she starts to see herself as one of the "big kids" and expands her social circle. In her Kindergarten year she is recognized as a leader and takes pride in helping others.
When I took a sabbatical at the end of the school year in May, I left behind children who had been in my classroom for one or two years. I was able to catch up with many of those students today when I visited the classroom. I observed that two of "my" third-year students, I'll call them S and K, were part of what Montessorian John Chattin-McNichols calls a "roving pack of 5-year-olds." They were wandering around with some other boys and mixing it up a little. I knew these two boys when they were just barely three years old. I knew them before they could consciously control their bodies at group time and even before they could dress themselves successfully. Now, here they were - big, bold 5-year-olds and I was curious to see who they had become eight months after we last worked together.
Angie, my dear friend and the lead teacher of my former class, shared with me that S and K had been working on the squaring and cubing chains in the math area, so I asked them about those activities. They were eager to show me what they had already done and tell me what came next. Within a few minutes, they broke off from the pack and were ready to master the 10 cubing chain.
The 10 cubing chain - or 1000 chain - is a concrete representation of 10 cubed. It's made up of one thousand pea-sized beads organized into bars of ten. The bars of ten are attached at the ends to make a chain. Children are ready for this work after they have mastered the 1 - 10 squaring chains and the 1 - 9 cubing chains. This video from the DuPage Montessori School in Naperville, Illinois provides a good overview of how the squaring and cubing chains are presented in the Montessori classroom.
The 10 cubing chain is nearly 30 feet long so it must be laid out in the hallway outside the classroom. So, off to the hallway we went.
S and K divided up the tasks between themselves. One carried the rolled-up mat and the other carried the chain. We established the space we would use in the hallway and K unrolled the mat while S went back into the classroom for the number tabs. We discussed how they would sort the tabs on the tray and move it down the mat as they worked.
S found the 1000 tab. He knew it went at the very end of the chain but he left it on the tray. There was a pause before they started and I asked what number they would start with. S said, "We have to count them all."
That is certainly one way to do it. But when a child is ready for the 1000 chain, he is generally ready to complete it without counting every number because he can now count by tens and hundreds. Once you trust that 10 is ten, you don't have to count it again.
I asked if they thought they could first put tabs on the hundreds. Yes! They were sure they could. Together, we counted the bars as 10, 20, 30 and so on until we got to 100. S got the 100 tab and marked that spot. K quickly grasped the system and immediately went to work sorting out all of the hundreds tabs in a separate group so that S could place them. This was my cue to find something else to do. I went back inside the classroom to assist Miss Angie while the boys marked off every 100th bead on the chain with the appropriate tab.
They repeated the process, stopping after each bar of ten. K was the sorter, S was the placer. "150! I need 150," S said. K had it ready. There was never any disagreement, that I heard, over who would do which task. They just got started and they each found their niche as they went. And they were really digging their work.
They started the cubing chain work at 9:45 and I checked in with them every few minutes. They finished at 11:00. One of them stopped to use the bathroom then went straight back to his work. Other children would step into the hall to see what was happening and then go back inside to their work.
Sometimes I checked on S and K without speaking and other times I acknowledged their progress. Once, I said I would be back to check on them in a bit unless they needed some help. "We need some help," S said. They could not find the tab for 590. I suggested they leave a space for that number and they could put it there when they found it. They never found it, but they were able to move on without hesitation.
As they got to the very end, S picked up the 1000 tab and started to place it under the 1000th bead. K said, "Hey! We decided we would put that one on together!" And so they did. That's when this photo was snapped.
If you had asked me three years ago if these children were developing normally and if they were going to learn to read and write and grow up to be compassionate humans I would have responded, "Of course they will!" But in the back of my head there would have been a tiny voice saying, "What if they aren't? What if they are never able to sit in a chair for more than 8 seconds? What if they never learn to put their shoes on by themselves? What if they show no interest in reading? What if they always write six as 9?"
That doubtful voice is a familiar one to parents because most of us only get to experience the development of one or two children. We fear we will do something wrong and our children will not achieve their potential. Preschool teachers should know better because we get to observe hundreds of children over the course of our careers, right? But sometimes, even with years of experience, we forget that our job is simply to prepare a nourishing environment. It is the child who must do the work of building the man.
In 1949, Maria Montessori offered us some guidance in our quest to relax and trust that each child will reveal himself as a competent and confident being in his own time. In The Absorbent Mind she wrote, "...for while, in the traditional schools, the teacher sees the immediate behavior of her pupils, knowing that she must look after them and what she has to teach, the Montessori teacher is constantly looking for a child who is not yet there."
Dr. Montessori also implemented the three-year cycle in our classrooms to give us enough time to look for that child and see him before he moves on to primary school.
I am not at all surprised that S and K can count to 1000 by tens and hundreds. I am not surprised that they can recognize 3-digit numerals or that they can prepare, complete, and put away their work. I am not even surprised that two 5-year-old boys willingly work together on a math material for 1 hour and and 15 minutes with only a bathroom break and very limited guidance. I've seen it before.
I am surprised at the sense of joyous relief I feel each time children reveal themselves in this way. It's an experience that never gets old. I suppose that's the ultimate reward of being a teacher.

The nation's largest administrator of retirement accounts advises that younger workers who boost savings by just 1% can meaningfully impact their monthly paycheck at retirement.
Fidelity Investments added the financial planning advice to its latest quarterly analysis, released Tuesday, of asset levels and participant behavior among the firm's 12.4 million 401(k) plan participants.
The Boston-based investment manager, which administers the most retirement assets in both 401(k) plans and IRAs in the U.S., noted the average 401(k) balance rose nearly 11%, to $80,600, at the end of the second quarter from the previous year.
That balance was far higher — $211,800 (up nearly 19% from a year ago) on average — for continuously employed workers enrolled in a 401(k) plan for 10 years.
Another positive trend: For the past four years, workers have continued to increase their salary deferral rate.
But the asset management behemoth seized the occasion of its quarterly report as a teachable moment, warning that younger workers in particular are not saving at a recommended rate of 10% to 15% of income (including employer contributions).
"It is critical young workers realize that even the smallest increase to their monthly savings today [of] just 1% — whether in a 401(k) or an IRA — could have a meaningful impact on their retirement paycheck down the road," said Fidelity's James MacDonald, president of its Workplace Investing unit, in a news release.
To illustrate this impact, Fidelity says a 25-year-old worker earning $40,000 annually would need to put away just $33 a month.
After various assumptions embedded in a lengthy footnote — for example, an assumed 1.5% annual income growth spanning the worker's career, retirement at age 67 and no hardship withdrawals — that worker could increase his monthly paycheck by $330 a month if he is fortunate enough to earn a 7% annual rate of return. At a 5.5% average annual return, the worker would still see a $200 monthly increase in his retirement paycheck.
If an older, 35-year-old worker earning a higher salary of $60,000 a year takes the initiative to stash that 1% of her income for retirement, her pretax monthly paycheck could rise by as much as $270 at a 7% rate of return, or by $180 at a 5.5% average return.
Fidelity also offered illustrations of young workers saving a higher, but flat (vs. percent of income) monthly amount ($50) in their IRA accounts.
The takeaway there was that, at least in the case of an assumed high rate of return of 7% annually, the young worker starting at the later age of 35 increased her retirement paycheck by little more than half ($220 per month) the amount attained by the worker who initiated that discipline at age 25 (realizing a $390 monthly paycheck increase).
For those who feel an income plan for their retirement is worth the investment of 30 minutes of their time, Fidelity offers an online retirement calculator allowing workers to chart their own income trajectory by noting assets, savings behavior, return assumptions and expected expenses.

"Nowhere does history indulge in repetitions so often or so uniformly as in Wall Street. When you read contemporary accounts of booms or panics, the one thing that strikes you most forcibly is how little either stock speculation or stock speculators today differ from yesterday. The game does not change and neither does human nature."
The quote above will sound familiar to advisors who have had to tell worried investors about market cycles and the need to sit tight during volatile periods. What's surprising is where this statement comes from: a 1923 novel, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, written by American writer Edwin Lefèvre in a fictionalized investment biography of speculator Jesse Lauriston Livermore.
Although nearly a century has passed since the novel was first published, it still stands as one of the best investment books that Steve Blumenthal (left), the Philadelphia-based founder of CMG Capital Management and a Merrill Lynch veteran, has ever read. The book was passed on to Blumenthal when he was a young institutional broker at Merrill Lynch by his mentor, John Ray, a portfolio manager at Delaware Funds.
"In 1984 and for years that followed, I would walk a few blocks from 15th and Market in downtown Philadelphia to John Ray's office," CMG's chief executive recalls in "The Blumenthal Viewpoint: Behavior Gap," published on Aug. 23. "I was always nervous. I knew very little about the business but was hungry to learn. 'John, what should I read?' He handed me his copy and said, 'I want it back.'"
A big part of the book's appeal for Blumenthal is the way it distinguishes between investors and speculators.
As Reminiscences of a Stock Operator implies, broadly diversified portfolios will always underperform the top-performing asset classes at any given time. And nowadays, Blumenthal says, advisors are often faced with restless clients who compare their total investment portfolio performance to a single index like the S&P 500 Index.
What Blumenthal learned when he first read that novel back in 1984 applies today, he says, and it's advice he gives to his advisor clients who phone and want to talk about investor behavior.
"Our industry's canned response is to say that 'We're in it for the long haul,' though I think you'll agree this answer is not enough for most clients. Let's see if we can break this down and give your clients some real data," writes Blumenthal, who founded CMG as a registered investment advisor in 1992. Today, CMG, based in Radnor, Pa., provides other RIAs, financial planners and institutions with managed accounts, mutual funds and variable annuities.
Advisors should ask their clients if they view themselves as investors or speculators, Blumenthal recommends. "Investing is about broad risk diversification; speculating is about taking targeted bets. Both approaches are OK. Which one [are they]?"
For investors, Blumenthal offers some sober data to share:
- The S&P 500 Index is up 20% year-to-date; however, no broadly diversified portfolio is up 20%
- Global 60/40 portfolios are up approximately 7%
- U.S. 60/40 portfolios are up approximately 10%
- And while U.S. equities are the world's best asset class, the U.S. bond market is down close to 5% ("take 60% of +20% and 40% of -5% and you get approximately 10%")
Further, from May 22 to June 24, the S&P 500 lost 5.6%, the MSCI EAFE lost 10.1%, MSCI Emerging Markets fell 15.3%, the Dow Jones/UBS Commodity index fell 4.5%, the U.S. 10-year T-note fell 4.4% and the Barclays U.S. TIPS index fell 7.1%.
That sort of data is enough to convince any in-it-for-the-long-haul investor to buckle up for a long and bumpy ride. And as for speculators? There are no guarantees, Blumenthal says, and he doesn't know anybody who can pick winners trade after trade because such an animal doesn't exist.
"Few, even the greats, might make millions yet might lose the same on their next targeted bet. If he is an investor, coach him back to plan. If he is a speculator, there is a good chance he will not be your client for long," Blumenthal advises. "This is a game of probabilities and while you might be 100% correct on a particular risk, you might just not have the time and inner belly to patiently live through the painful decline you'll experience along the way to being right."

The International Monetary Fund has lowered its forecast for world economic growth in a generally glum report which states that downside risks dominate growth prospects.
And like a doctor recommending diet and exercise to a patient more accustomed to binge snacking and chronic inactivity, the Washington-based institution also put in a muted good word for structural reform in its quarterly World Economic Outlook, released this week.
The IMF forecasts global growth of 3.1% in 2013, a downward revision from its April forecast of 3.3%, and its 3.8% projection for 2014 is also lower than its April 4% forecast.
The 188-nation organization says slow growth in the U.S. and deceleration in emerging markets—the world's former economic engines — and a deeper-than-expected recession in the euro area leading to "depressed confidence" — are the primary causes of the world's underperformance.
The U.S. economy this year is projected to grow at a 1.7% rate, lower than last year's 2.2% rate, but fueled by rising household wealth resulting from the U.S. housing recovery, the IMF forecasts 2.7% growth next year.
Japan's easy-money-fueled economy is expected to grow at a 2% rate this year, falling to 1.2% next year.
The euro area is contracting by more than half a percent this year, which growth projected at just under 1% next year.
Emerging-market and developing economies are seen as moderating the more rapid pace of growth that helped balance the world economy in the midst of the financial crisis.
The IMF forecasts 5% growth in 2013 and 5.5% next year for the broad sector, but lowering its April forecast for growth in China—down a quarter and half percentage points respectively from the 7.75% it had projected for 2013 to 2014 in its previous report. Forecasts for all the BRICS countries were also revised downward by one to three quarters of a percentage point.
Altogether, projections for global growth for 2013 to 2014 have come down a quarter of a percent from the IMF's April forecast. The report says that new risks have been added to old ones, and made note of "temporary uncertainty about the exit from monetary policy stimulus in the United States."
The report implicitly criticized the Federal Reserve's new tapering policy — i.e., cessation of bond buying — saying that "with low inflation and sizable economic slack, monetary policy stimulus should continue until the recovery is well established."
But then in an on-the-one-hand, on-the-other-hand style, the IMF expressed support for monetary easing as a "first line of defense against downside risks," while acknowledging "potential legacy problems from a prolonged period of rapid credit growth."
In an overall economic prescription, the world economic institution said "key advanced economies should pursue a policy mix that supports near-term growth, anchored by credible plans for medium-term public debt sustainability."
More specifically, it called on China to increase consumption and Germany investment, while urging deficit countries to take measures that increase competitiveness.

The most amusing keywords or keyphrases of the week
I have blogged frequently this week about Susan Patron's The Higher Power of Lucky, which uses the word "scrotum" on the first page and won the American Library Association's 2007 Newbery Medal for the most distinguished work of children's literature. My posts included a comment about a segment of The View on which Barbara Walters read aloud a dictionary definition of "scrotum."
People have entered some pretty funny keywords or keyphrases into their search bars as a result all of this. And because a lot of those people have ended up at One-Minute Book Reviews, their search terms have showed up on my "Blog Stats" page. Some of the most amusing appear below. My blog stats don't show which of these terms originally included a plus sign or the word "and." Some of these terms appeared in quotes and some didn't.
lucky scrotum
patron scrotum
Barbara Walters scrotum
library scrotum
Newbery scrotum
scrotum book
view walters scrotum book
For those of you who may want to keep your "scrotum" in perspective, I posted a detailed review of The Higher Power of Lucky on Monday and a reading group guide to the book on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Feb. 28, I will announce on this site the finalists for the first annual Delete Key Awards, which recognize the year's worst writing in books. The announcement will include examples of bad writing from from books on the short list. You may find some of these funny, too. The winner of the Delete Key Awards will be announced on March 15, the Ideas of March.

Think of how many people he has actually preached to. Though he is a Protestant, I'd bet that at least 90% of what he teaches concerning the Gospel is correct. It is great that we have someone as influential and charismatic to spread the Gospel as Billy Graham.

Better him than Sun myong moon(sp) or Osama bin laden
When it comes to spreading the essentials of salvation, Graham is spot on.
Better him than Sun myong moon(sp) or Osama bin laden..
On the other hand, one of the Evil One's nastiest deceptions may very well be to lead people into heterodox confessions while letting them think they've found the true Faith. Granted, God will save whomsoever He chooses, but salvation for those outside the Church is not guaranteed. The work of high-profile evangelicals makes our task of proclaiming Orthodoxy to the world more difficult, rather than aiding it. In that sense, he really is working against us.
Granted, God will save whomsoever He chooses, but salvation for those outside the Church is not guaranteed.
Do we believe in Christianity or Churchianity?
Whoever confesses their sins to Christ and accepts Him as savior and God and lives out His commandments will be saved.
Matthew, it sounds like you'd be much happier in the Episcopal church or another denomination that'll say what you want to hear.
ChurchianityOveremphasis on ecclesiastical and denominational matters in Christianity.The usually excessive or sectarian attachment to the practices and interests of particular church
What are the fruits of our Church in recent years? Laughable, that's what they are.<snip>No, our Church has been winding down, not due to heterodox, but due to ourselves! We think that some parts of the Gospel, such as Christ's condemnations to the Pharisees, were just for that time period. But they are meant for us, too.And so as our Church was winding down, and as love was waning, as unity was breaking, and as people dying, we clutched to our little bit-o-truth and whispered to ourselves "we have the truth!"clutching it close to our chest so that no one could see it, we forget about the parable of the talents. That was about money, right? Not about our Christian faith.This is our fruit. While we are at all times to lead the world in generousity and love, we spend more time on festival preparations than on charity. I've been to several different Orthodox Churches, each for a few years. Not once was there a clear message or general impetus put on me by my fellow brothers and sisters, or by the clergy, to really do something for other people. It was always "attend more services" since that will make me holy. Somehow.
This is a cop out... You're saying the church can't do it's work because there are other powerful preachers.. Gosh, I thought success in the face of adversity was supposed to be our 'claim to fame' as the true church... What is a church if it can't spread Christ's Word beyond it's doors?? Billy Graham and people like him have only been successful due to our being 'asleep at the switch' as the saying goes... What should the EO church due to minimize the interest in people like him? is that what we want.. less interest in hearing about Christ..?. It's not like we're out there 'preaching' to the masses and people are choosing against us... we're not out of our churches preaching at all.... It's like we're afraid to proactively spread the faith because we might not be successful if we really tried... The work of high - profile evangelicals should make our job easier... in social 'marketing' once someone starts talking about something... it's much easier for others to do so... Think of how the topic of gay marriage became the topic of the day everywhere, once one state broke the silence. Billy Graham's high profile is an invitation for dialogue and preaching/teaching about Orthodoxy....but our hierarchs just don't 'get it'... they are too 'high' from the needs of the masses. All we need is for Billy to convert to Orthodoxy and continue to spread the Gospel with his charismatic approach... and a saint might be in the making...In XC, Kizzy
This sounds like the pharisaism that I have been speaking of.
To those that think any protestant denomination offers an alternative to salvation then I must tell you- you are completely wrong according to Orthodox theology. This has never been a part of our tradition. EVER. It was not part of the Early Orthodox tradition.Oh, and by the way. Evangelicals like Billy Graham are against us. They send money to "Evangelize" Ukraine and Greece and Russia. They often do not consider Orthodox Christians Christian. If they were real Christians they would go to Saudi Arabia and Iran, and do some real missionary work.
It is the truth that those who accept the Gospel of Christ will we saved, whether it is preached from the Orthodox Church or a Billy Graham crusade.
Overemphasis on ecclesiastical and denominational matters in Christianity.
Whoever isn't against us is with us.
One of the original points of this forum is that many non-Orthodox Christians live more charitable lives and perform more good works than most Orthodox Christians.
Just look at John Paul II. There is nothing wrong with admitting that he did more good for the world than the average Orthodox Christian. He was a great man and a true servant of the Lord.
Some non-Orthodox Christans have done more good for the world than most Orthodox Christians would ever do.
My point is that we should appreciate what Billy Graham and other non-Orthodox Christians do, not to tear Orthodox Christians down.
Matthew, it's not hard because it's a meaningless admission.
Don't believe everything you think.
The more I know, the less I know.
No, I am not. Compare John Paul II or Billy Graham to the average Orthodox Christian, or even the average person. Some people have done more good for the world than others. I would say that I am an average Orthodox Christian, and I can admit that Billy Graham has done more good for the world than I will ever do. See? It isn't that hard. My only point in mentioning this is that one need not be Orthodox to be a good Christian.

I have a new article up on the safe-for-work Suicide Girls blog. It's called I Resent My High School. Click on the words I Resent My High School and you will magically be flown there to see it. It's free. There are no naked pictures there to destroy your purity either!
It's another piece of confessional writing in the style of some of what's in my book Zen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate. One hopes in writing such directly personal things that it resonates with other people's experiences and feelings. But when you write like this, you always risk coming off sounding like, "Oh woe is me! My life is so horrid! Look at how horrid it is! Look! Look!"
But I'm really influenced by records like John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band and Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks, where the songwriter bares his soul in a very personal way. Even though I was never a member of The Beatles or a Greenwich Village folksinger turned superstar, I still found those songs really compelling. And not in a voyeuristic way of being all like, "Oh John Lennon thinks religion sucks" or something. It was more that I could relate to the directness of it as an expression of what all people go through.
In case any of the people involved in my high school reunion are reading this, I'll say again, this is not what I "really think" of you. It's just a part of what goes through my head when faced with the prospect of seeing people from Wadsworth High School again.
To say it's what I "really think" would be to imply that of all the thoughts that pass through my skull about the reunion, the ones in the article are the ones I've chosen to believe and to call "mine." That's what we do a lot of the time. I do it too.
But what I'm trying to express here is that the Zen practice has allowed me the space to be able to step back a bit from that process. None of what goes through my head is what I "really think" in the sense that I am obliged to hold fast to it and establish it as my position on a given subject. And that, of course, is not just true for me. It's true for all of us.
But we've been taught very thoroughly that this is the way to respond to thoughts. We are taught to select certain of our thoughts and adhere to those. We thereby establish a specifically defined and rigid personality. That's where most of our problems stem from. But we don't know this process is even a source of our difficulties let alone the major source of them.
I am not perfect in my skill at allowing thoughts to pass without getting caught in making them "mine." I still do it a lot. But mostly when I do it now I can see myself doing it and know that it is not necessary. But the deeper the level of attachment you have to a certain type of reaction to a certain type of situation, the harder that can be.
In the comments section on that last piece someone said, "In your book Sit Down and Shut Up, you seem to emphasize the importance of finding a teacher (ch. 5, Zazen by Alone). Here you say don't worry about it. Do these two ideas contradict each other, or is there something I'm not seeing (in which case my 'not seeing' list is that much longer)? Thanks."
It's hard to express this just right. Yes, to study Buddhism you need a teacher. But you do not need a teacher to practice zazen. Someone in the comments section said something like, "Don't let lack of a teacher be an excuse not to practice." I agree.
Zazen can be a solitary practice or a group practice. For Buddhist study you need some kind of a mentor, even if that person doesn't have specific certification to teach Buddhism (though I think that's generally -- but not always -- better). Without a teacher there's too much danger of going off in some bizarre tangent.
It's a bit like what I was talking about earlier in this article. Some of your habitual reactions you are not aware of until someone says something to you about them.
I was not aware that I eat my cereal obnoxiously loudly until one of my roommates complained about it. This is because for most of my life I've eaten my cereal alone. When I eat breakfast with others it's never cereal, and even when I was married I almost always woke up earlier than my wife and I still ate it by myself.
In Buddhist study there are some things you simply cannot judge by yourself because, as in my cereal-eating, you have no criteria. My cereal-eating doesn't sound any quieter to me now that I make sure to close my mouth when I chew than it did before. It might even be a little louder to me. But my roommates don't complain when I chew it with my mouth closed.
It's sort of like that.

Although half of Americans consider retirement a top priority, 58% do not have a formal retirement income and savings plan, according to a report released by Deloitte.
Harris Interactive surveyed nearly 4,500 Americans over 26 on behalf of Deloitte Center for Financial Services and found that although just 30% say they feel "very secure" in their retirement prospects, those with a plan were four times more likely to feel secure. What's troubling, though, is that many people are convinced that no matter how much they save, it won't be enough.
"People used to think about retirement as a straight-line plan to a lump sum," Ed Tracy, one of the authors of the report, told AdvisorOne on Friday. "That's changed, particularly since the financial crisis; the way people think about retirement is fundamentally changing."
Investors are facing more short-term challenges, Tracy said. "Life is more turbulent in terms of employment, education—the cost of college isn't going down—health care, basic short-term expenses. It got to the point where a lot of people are pessimistic."
To combat that pessimism, "wealth managers have to recognize that viewpoint has changed a bit and pursue short-term, medium-term and long-term strategies.
The influence of an advisor is undeniable. Two-thirds of respondents who work with a professional advisor had a retirement plan compared with 28% of respondents who don't have an advisor.
Deloitte identified five potential barriers that may be keeping respondents from adequately preparing for retirement.
First, they may be struggling to find a place for it among their other financial priorities. Respondents said the No. 1 reason they didn't have a financial plan was because they had other, more important priorities.
Furthermore, the retirement industry may be failing these consumers. Sixty percent said that in the past two years, they've had no interaction with any financial institutions about their retirement needs. Even when financial institutions do communicate with consumers, according to the report, they often don't help them integrate their retirement planning needs into their larger financial plan.
A third barrier is consumers' lack of understanding about financial products. Nearly 40% don't know about or understand annuities. Many are simply unaware of the number of options available to them.
Another barrier is a holdover from the recession. Respondents had a remarkably low level of trust for financial institutions in general. Just 20% said they had a high degree of trust for financial institutions of any type.
"After the crisis, investors started looking closer at their portfolios and that hasn't ebbed," Tracy said. "Folks are leery about proprietary products and assets allocations that don't tie to their individual goals." Tracy said that "intertwined with that mistrust" is investors' disappointment with a lack of tailored advice. That sense of mistrust and disappoint gave rise to the fifth barrier Deloitte identified: the DIY investor. Many respondents said they simply didn't need any help with planning. About 40% said they preferred to manage their own portfolio.
Trust, or a lack of it, was one of the top reasons those DIY investors gave for wanting to take on their financial planning by themselves, Tracy said. While it may seem like investors who are trying to plan on their own are at least a little better off than those who aren't planning at all, the report found just 17% of respondents are managing their portfolio on their own and also have a retirement plan in place.
Tracy noted, though, that just because there's a large segment that doesn't have a plan, that doesn't mean there isn't a lot of activity in terms of investments. "Wealth managers need to rethink what they need to be providing," he said.

It may begin with a swollen knuckle, a spiking fever, or an unexplained rash. But no matter what symptoms appear, hearing the word "arthritis" in a diagnosis for your child can be unexpected and confusing.
Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints that is characterized by swelling, heat, and pain. Nearly 300,000 children in the United States have some sort of arthritis. Arthritis can be short-term — lasting for just a few weeks or months, then going away forever — or it can be chronic and last for months or years. In rare cases, it can last a lifetime.
The most prevalent form of juvenile arthritis is juvenile idiopathic arthritis(JIA) (also known as juvenilerheumatoid arthritis, or JRA). It affects about 50,000 U.S. kids and is very different from adult rheumatoid arthritis.
It's not known exactly what causes JIA in kids. Research indicates that it is an autoimmune disease. In autoimmune diseases, white blood cells can't tell the difference between the body's own healthy cells and germs like bacteria and viruses. The immune system, which is supposed to protect the body from these harmful invaders, instead releases chemicals that can damage healthy tissues and cause inflammation and pain.
To effectively manage and minimize the effects of arthritis, an early and accurate diagnosis is essential. By understanding the symptoms and characteristics of each type of JIA, you can help your child maintain an active, productive lifestyle.
JIA usually appears in kids between 6 months and 16 years old. The first signs often are joint pain or swelling and reddened or warm joints. Many rheumatologists (doctors specializing in joint disorders) find that the greater the number of joints affected, the more severe the disease and the less likely that the symptoms will eventually go into total remission.
There are seven major types of JIA:
The first signs of arthritis, which can be subtle or obvious, include limping or a sore wrist, finger, or knee. Joints may suddenly swell and remain enlarged. Stiffness in the neck, hips, or other joints also can occur.
Rashes may suddenly appear and disappear, developing in one area and then another. High fevers that tend to spike in the evenings and suddenly disappear are characteristic of systemic JIA.
To diagnose JIA, the doctor will take a detailed medical history and conduct a thorough physical examination. The doctor may order X-rays or blood tests to rule out other conditions or infections, such as Lyme disease, that may cause similar symptoms or occur along with the arthritis.
Other tests done can include:
In some cases, the doctor may want an orthopedic surgeon to examine your child's joints and take samples of joint fluid or synovium (the lining of the joints) for examination and testing.
In many cases, JIA is treated with a combination of medication, physical therapy, and exercise. In some cases, a child may require corticosteroid injections into the joint or surgery. The health care providers, including the primary care physician, rheumatologist, and physical therapist, will work together to develop the best method of treatment.
The goals of treatment are to relieve pain and inflammation, slow down or prevent the destruction of joints, and restore use and function of the joints to promote optimal growth, physical activity, and social and emotional development.
For inflammation and pain, the doctor or pediatric rheumatologist may prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin). These can help reduce inflammation and pain by limiting the release of harmful chemicals from white blood cells.
Higher or lower dosages might be needed, depending upon your child's response to the medication. The doctor or rheumatologist should explain what the medication is meant to do and what side effects, if any, it could cause. It's important for your child to continue taking the medication until the doctor says to stop.
If NSAIDs do not control joint inflammation, your doctor may prescribe other medications such as methotrexate. In addition, treatment options now include a newer class of medications called biologics.
An appropriate physical therapy program is essential to the management of any type of arthritis. A physical therapist will explain the importance of certain activities and recommend exercises suited to your child's specific condition. The therapist may recommend range-of-motion exercises to restore flexibility in stiff, sore joints and other exercises to help build strength and endurance.
When pain strikes, it's natural for your child to want to sit still. But it's important to maintain a regular exercise program. Muscles must be kept strong and healthy so they can help support and protect joints. Regular exercise also helps to maintain range of motion.
At home and at school, your child should have regular exercise and physical fitness programs. Safe activities include walking, swimming, and bicycling (especially on indoor stationary bikes). Be sure that your child warms up the muscles through stretching before exercising. Make exercise a family activity to build fun and enthusiasm.
Ask the doctor and physical therapist about sports restrictions. Some, especially impact sports, can be hazardous to weakened joints and bones. And make sure your child eats a balanced diet that includes plenty of calcium to promote bone health.

[Epub 2012 March 17.]) Intensive goal-directed upper limb training programs using either constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) or bimanual training (BIM) achieved domain-specific changes in quality of life relating to feelings about functioning and participation and physical health in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP), say authors of an article published online in Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology. A condition-specific quality of life measure compared with a generic measure may be better able to detect changes in quality of life in children with unilateral CP, they add. Researchers randomly assigned 63 children (mean age 10 years 2 months [SD 2 years 6 months]; 33 boys, 30 girls) with CP of the spastic motor type (n=59) or with spasticity and dystonia (n=4) to 2 groups. The children were assessed as Manual Ability Classification System level I (n=16), II (n=46), or III (n=1). Each group received 6 hours of daily intervention (either CIMT or BIM) for 10 days over a 2-week period (total intervention time 60 hours). Children aged 9 years and older completed the Cerebral Palsy Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children (CPQOL-Child), and those aged 8 years and older completed the KIDSCREEN-52. All parents completed proxy versions of each measure. Assessments were made at baseline and at 3, 26, and 52 weeks after the end of the intervention. Thirty-five children completed the CPQOL-Child and 41 completed the KIDSCREEN-52. No changes in social or emotional well-being were reported by children in either group. Children and parents from both groups reported a significant improvement in their or their child's feelings about functioning as well as participation and physical health on the CPQOL-Child. The parents of children receiving CIMT reported positive and sustained changes in their child's social well-being (CPQOL-Child). The CIMT group showed significant improvements in physical well-being, psychological well-being, and moods and emotions (KIDSCREEN-52) at 3 weeks post intervention, which were maintained over the study period.

Last summer my girlfriend and I took our 14-year-old sons to Disneyland in California. While we were having such a great time we asked each other, "Where should we go next year?" The decision was made without hesitation -- Beijing.
The day after school was out we boarded a plane for Hong Kong, a place we thought would serve as a bridge to the culture shock we knew the boys would experience in mainland China. In spite of the heat and humidity we had a wonderful time exploring the top sights such as Temple Street Market, the Peak and the trip to Stanley by double decker bus.
We spent a fabulous day at Ocean Park where we came face to face with Jia Jia and An An, a female and male panda, housed in the Giant Panda Habitat, a gift to the people of Hong Kong from the Central Government of China in 1999. We finished off the day with a sampan ride to the Jumbo Floating Restaurant where we enjoyed a traditional Peking duck dinner.
We travelled to Beijing by train, passing the 24 hours comfortably in our pj's and wrapped in the cozy duvets provided. We watched the Chinese countryside go by and the boys were interested to see the rice paddies. They were fascinated with the Chinese toilet and experienced a clash of cultures when trying to be understood in the dining car. Absolutely no English was spoken. Luckily we had packed snacks and fruit along for the trip.
Our arrival at the train station in Beijing was exciting and proved to be a test of our adventurous spirit. We were unable to locate a taxi and before long a large group of curious onlookers gathered around us. The boys were overwhelmed and a little frightened but before long a young English-speaking couple came to our rescue. We had just learned that we should always carry the name of our destination written in Chinese characters. Very few taxi drivers speak English.
Upon our arrival in this fascinating city it was immediately evident how hard the Chinese were working in preparation for the Olympics, planting, paving, painting, etc. The boys were fascinated with this city, its traffic, the impressive architecture and the people. While climbing the Great Wall at Badaling they were often asked to pose in photographs with the Chinese, making them feel like celebrities. In the markets they were well received and became very adept at knowing how to bargain for a fair price.
A tour of the B.C. Pavilion located just off Tiananmen Square connected us to home. It was exciting to meet people from B.C. and to see the tree that once stood in Stanley Park. The same ticket entitled us to visit the Beijing Urban Planning Exhibition Centre where we discovered a huge miniature scale replica of Beijing. All the new Olympic structures had been added including the National Stadium or Bird's Nest and the Water Cube.
The highlight of this fabulous trip occurred after an incredible day touring the Forbidden City. Finding ourselves in an old area of Beijing we decided to take a tour of the hutongs by cycle rickshaws. After winding our way through the narrow streets we found ourselves in the hutong or home of a Chinese family, where we were invited to tea with Mr. Zhang, the 97-year-old patriarch. This had been his home for many years where he still lives with all his children.
Mr. Zhang served us a special sweet syrup tea and with the help of an interpreter we learned all about life in the hutongs. Mr. Zhang was quite taken with the boys and after disappearing into a back room he reappeared with a small Chinese red envelope. He showed us the special treasure inside, a pin of Mao, illustrating the landscape of his childhood in the foreground. This prize piece had been in his family for 40 years and he insisted that it was his gift to the boys. Despite the cultural, language and age differences, a special connection was made and we all found it difficult to say good-bye.

The sun was just peeking from the Eastern skies.
Out in the prison's yard, some huge Sheriff's buses were illuminated by the soft glow coming from the lights all over from the tall lamp posts. Their engines were turned on, warming up, before the buses would take the inmates to the different courts where they would have their trials.
Orange-uniformed men were lined up in pairs, joined together with handcuffs and chained, forming a long line. They already had their breakfast and had their morning medications prior to going to courts. Some were fidgeting, as they waited to board those buses.
All of a sudden, all hell broke loose! Two men were engaged in a fight, using weapons they made secretly for a while. Deputies called for help on the radio, both for custody back-up and medical staff, as well.
When the air was cleared and the other inmates were secured, one man was down on the floor. He sustained multiple gashes but two of them were deep. One cut was vertically etched from his left ear going down to the jaw line. The other dangerous cut was horizontal on his left neck, close to the jugular vein. Pool of blood dripped all over the floor. Holding his bleeding neck, he was pointing at the other inmate few feet away, being guarded by the other deputies.
The other man being accused was not hurt. There was no lacerations nor any other signs of trauma. He was obviously very agitated as he was being questioned by those deputies, while the medical staff started treating the other man on the floor. They cleaned the wounds and controlled the bleeding. That man was sent to the nearby hospital.
When the investigation was finalized, it turned out to be that the "downed man who was accusing the other inmate" was the attacker and the other one who didn't have injury was the one attacked. The deputies found out that it was the second attempt to attack the unhurt man. Both attacks on him failed. He was well-prepared after the first attempt on him, that when the second attempt was done, he was able to defend himseld and ended up injuring his attacker severely.
[Source: Life Application Bible]:
We also have an "accuser of the brethren." Satan and his army of demons are the enemies of God and of everything good.
"Because God's children are human beings – made of flesh and blood – Jesus also became flesh and blood by being born in human form. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the Devil, who had the power of death." –Hebrews 2:14
Because of what Jesus had done [dying on the cross], we, who live in constant fear of death shouldn't be afraid anymore. Jesus had freed us from that fear so we can live for Him. When we belong to God, we know that death is only the portal that leads into "eternal life". ["Thank You Lord!].
Paul warned us, too that we also battle against the evil forces of Satan, who is a vicious fighter. But to be able to withstand their attacks, we must depend on God's strength and use every piece of His armor. We face an army whose goal is to defeat Christ's church. When we believe in Christ, they become our enemies. They will try any device to turn us away from the Lord.
Fear not! For God has provided His supernatural power to defeat Satan and his army, through His Holy Spirit within us. So, arm yourselves with God's armor.
Let us be strong in the Lord's mighty power. Let's put on His whole armor to resist the enemy's attacks: put on the sturdy belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that we are well-prepared. We will need faith in every battle as our shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed by Satan and his army. Let us put on salvation as our helmet, not forgetting the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Let's pray at all times, on every occasion in the power of the Holy Spirit. We must stay alert and be persistent in our prayers for all Christians everywhere. [Ephesians 6:10-18].

text: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 HHS Releases Essential Health Benefits Proposed Rule The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released several proposed rules today dealing with insurance reforms, including the proposed rule "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; Standards Related to Essential Health Benefits, Actuarial Value, and Accreditation." The proposed rule provides guidance to states on the essential health benefits (EHBs) that must be offered in most nongrandfathered qualified health plans (QHPs) that are offered in each state's affordable Health Insurance Exchanges ("Exchanges") as directed under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Exchanges are expected to create competitive marketplaces making health insurance plans more affordable for individuals. EHB applicability to Medicaid will be defined in a separate regulation. The Exchanges must become operational by January 1, 2014. (See related articles titled "Proposed Rule Protects Patients From Discriminatory Policies" and "HHS Proposes Incentives for Nondiscriminatory Wellness Programs in Group Health Plan.") The proposed rule outlines Exchange and issuer standards related to coverage of EHBs and actuarial value. The proposed rule reiterates the 10 mandatory EHB categories of (1) ambulatory patient services; (2) emergency services; (3) hospitalization; (4) maternity and newborn care; (5) mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment; (6) prescription drugs; (7) rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices; (8) laboratory services; (9) preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management; and (10) pediatric services (under age 19), including oral and vision care. States must create EHB benchmark plans from their default benchmark state health plans by adding any mandatory categories that are not in their default plans. These nongrandfathered health plans must offer balanced benefits not unduly weighted toward any one category. The proposed rule includes that: States would determine EHB-benchmark plans that would serve as reference plans and would reflect both the scope of services and limits offered by a typical employer plans in that state. This would allow states to build on coverage that is already widely available, minimize market disruption, and provide consumers with familiar products. Additionally, it is intended to balance consumers' needs for comprehensiveness and affordability, as recommended by the Institute of Medicine in its report on EHBs; The EHB-benchmark plan must not include benefit designs that discriminate on the basis of an individual's medical condition, or against specific populations as described in the statute; A transitional policy for coverage of habilitative services be implemented that would provide states with the opportunity to define these services if not included in the base-benchmark plan; states could determine the services they choose to provide under the habilitative category; Covered benefits must remain substantially equal to those covered by the EHB-benchmark plan; Certain preventive services must be offered without cost-sharing; Health benefit substitution could only occur within benefit categories, not between different benefit categories. States have the option to enforce a stricter standard on benefit substitution or prohibit it completely; An issuer cannot provide an EHB benefit design that discriminates based on an individual's age, expected length of life, or present or predicted disability, degree of medical dependency, quality of life, or other health conditions; States may require that a [nongrandfathered] QHP cover additional benefits beyond the 10 EHB categories; A (nongrandfathered) health insurance issuer that offers health insurance coverage in the individual or small group market—inside or outside of the Exchange—ensure that such coverage offers the EHB package; and HHS' secretary review the plans after 2 years, then similar policy thereafter, to ensure that gaps in access to care are remediated or advances in the relevant evidence base are included. Finally, the Affordable Care Act describes the levels of coverage that of the EHB packages offered in the Exchanges: actuarial values of 60% for a bronze plan, 70% for a silver plan, 80% for a gold plan, and 90% for a platinum plan. APTA will be commenting on this proposed rule. Comments are due on or around December 20. APTA's Regulatory Affairs department will provide full summaries of the 3 proposed rules shortly.

Great colours and font Reviewed by Krystalfanning on 05 Feb 2019
Compared to similar products on the market these are the best colours - not too primary based. Only thing i would say could be better is the strength of the magnets (could be stronger) but if using on a fridge then they are fine.
excellent quality Reviewed by Eleanorthomas3 on 28 Dec 2018

BRENTWOOD — A Somersworth man suspected of phoning in a bomb threat against the superior court in Rockingham County has turned himself in to police.
BRENTWOOD — A Somersworth man suspected of phoning in a bomb threat against the superior court in Rockingham County on the day he was scheduled to be sentenced there has turned himself in to police.
An official at the Rockingham County Sheriff's Department said 27-year-old Jonathan M. Long contacted police on Wednesday evening after reports began circulating in the media that he was a suspect in this week's bomb hoax.
A State Police bomb squad was called to the Rockingham County Superior Court Tuesday morning, Dec. 4, after a 911 caller reported a bomb was set to explode inside. The caller said a bomb had been placed near an area of the courthouse used by the Rockingham County Sheriff's office, Major Al Brackett said. It was said to be rigged to detonate between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., Brackett said.
An estimated 150 to 200 people were forced to evacuate, including jurors, bringing court proceedings to a halt.
Long, whose last known address was an apartment at 31 Wildflower Circle in Somersworth, was scheduled to be sentenced on a charge of falsifying evidence at the superior court on Tuesday morning, Brackett said. He failed to appear at the sentencing.
Long was identified as a suspect in the bomb hoax after the sheriff's department obtained a recording of the 911 call that prompted the evacuation, Brackett said. An investigator recognized Long's voice on the recording, he said, and a witness also reported seeing Brackett outside the courthouse on Tuesday morning.
Officers searched for Long throughout the day Tuesday, and continued into Wednesday evening. Long eventually called police at about 7 p.m. to turn himself in, Brackett said.
Long was indicted Thursday morning on a class B felony charge alleging he made a false report. He was also indicted on a separate charge of violating bail conditions, Brackett said.
Long was due to be sentenced Tuesday on a charge of falsifying physical evidence earlier this year. According to Brackett, while Long was incarcerated earlier this year, he attempted to persuade the court that he should be released early by composing a fake letter from a doctor regarding his son's medical treatment.


text: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 CMS Improves Internet-based PECOS Based on stakeholder feedback obtained over the last year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has made improvements to the Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS), which allows most providers and suppliers to enroll in the Medicare program or make changes to their Medicare enrollment information via the Internet rather than through the paper form. The following upgrades aim to make PECOS more user-friendly: Providers/suppliers now can submit their entire enrollment application including supporting documentation electronically with the new digital document feature. Hard copies of supporting documentation to the Medicare Administrative Contractors are no longer required. Individual providers who reassign benefits to individuals/organizations with multiple practice locations will be able to designate a primary and secondary practice location where services are rendered. Selecting a primary and secondary practice location does not restrict the provider from providing services at other practice locations associated with the individual/organization to which they are reassigning benefits. It is recommended that a primary and secondary practice location be specified, but it is not required. Providers/suppliers now can enter multiple contact persons in the contact information section and will have the ability to identify the contact's relationship to the provider/supplier. While Internet-based PECOS requires at least 1 contact person to be entered in this section, additional contacts and the relationship to the provider field are optional. At least 1 managing employee now will be required when submitting a CMS 855A, CMS 855B, and CMS 855S enrollment application. Applications that do not include at least 1 managing employee will receive an error message in Internet-based PECOS under the error/warning check tab and will not be able to proceed with submitting the enrollment application. Internet-based PECOS also will recommend that at least 1 owner is entered for a CMS 855A, CMS 855B, and CMS 855S application. Applications that do not include at least 1 owner will receive a warning message under the error/warning check tab in Internet-based PECOS. This warning message will not prevent the user from submitting the enrollment application. Providers/suppliers now will have the option to select "county" in the "geographic location" topic when identifying the geographic location where services are rendered for CMS 855A and CMS 855B enrollment applications. Prior to this feature the only available options were state, city, or zip code. When selected, Internet-based PECOS will populate the county field with all counties that exist within the enrollment state identified for the application. CMS has redesigned the CMS 855O paper application, which is used to enroll in Medicare solely to order and refer services, and those changes are reflected in Internet-based PECOS. Providers who are currently enrolled in Medicare and are of a specialty that is eligible to order and refer already have the ability to order and refer services. Therefore, they are not required to submit a separate CMS 855O enrollment application solely to order and refer services. APTA members can find more information about the program on the association's PECOS webpage.
