Directing Your Gift
Sciencenter Annual FundUnrestricted gifts to the Annual Fund give the Sciencenter the flexibility to direct support where it is needed most - from developing new hands-on science exhibits and growing our educational programs to supporting the daily operations of the museum and maintenance of facilities.
Sciencenter EndowmentThe Sciencenter of tomorrow is being created by the endowment gifts of today.
The Sciencenter's endowment consists of funds that were donated to support the museum in perpetuity. The income from the Sciencenter's endowment supports museum operations, new exhibits, programs, and events.
Unrestricted Giving to Endowment
Unrestricted gifts to endowment are the most versatile of all. The income supports the general operating budget and enables the Sciencenter to respond quickly to emerging opportunities.
Special Endowment Funds
Sustainability and growth of the Sciencenter's signature educational programs and museum spaces will depend on the establishment of special endowment funds. Special funds can be set up to support programs of particular interest to individual donors. A named fund in support of a specific Sciencenter program can be established for gifts of $10,000 and above.
For more information on supporting the Sciencenter through gifts of endowment or to establish a named endowment fund, please contact Christine Bissen, Director of Advancement, at 607.272.0600, ext. 19, or via e-mail.

Food does more than feed your body. It also feeds your soul.
Ellen Jane Parks learned this at an early age, growing up on her family's 150-acre farm near Enterprise.
"Every evening meal was 'sit down together.' We all consumed more love than food. I'm sorry that doesn't happen at very many homes today.
"We always had an abundance of fresh vegetables and fruit, and we cold-packed our own meat, spare ribs so tender they'd fall off the bone.
"Mom (Clara Akers) did all the cooking. No one could put on a spread like my mom. And it was all homemade ... bread, noodles, dumplings, gravy and homemade pie crusts.
"Still to this day, she cooks. She never knows how many she'll have at dinner. When the whole family gets together, there's 63 of us," Parks said. "And that is so much fun. We love each other.
"The whole family has so many wonderful cooks. And each has their own speciality. And when we all get together, man, that's a lot of calories!"
Because ingredients like flour and sugar were valuable and dear, there was little opportunity for Parks to try her hand at baking.
But learn she did, and she still remembers the first meal she made for her husband, Barry: grilled pork chops, mac and cheese, green beans, salad and coconut cream pie.
"It was good, but the chops were a little dry.
"My husband has never turned down a meal in almost 45 years of marriage," she said. "It is so wonderful to cook for someone who appreciates the time you put into creating a meal.
"When we first got married, he would not eat fish or dill pickles. Now, he eats everything.
"I have the reputation of making dainty cookies," she said. "They seem to be more appealing. You don't feel guilty eating several when they're little. I always make small meatballs, too. I like the looks of three or four on top of a plate of spaghetti, rather than the normal two.
"When I serve cabbage rolls (pigs in a blanket), I must admit my husband would rather have me make large ones. I call them 'hogs under cover.'"
Good food doesn't need to be fancy or complicated. Her Yellow Mandarin Orange Cake is made from a box mix.
But the arrangement of fresh, bright red strawberries adds just the right contrast.
"Everyone enjoys an attractive table setting," she said. "When serving a meal, it is all about presentation. I think you first taste with your eyes. Make sure you always serve your guests with a smile. That's one of our biggest assets.
"No matter what you are preparing for your family or friends, your main ingredient should always start with a lot of love. This is a great way to start a meal and end it the same way: love.
"Food is for sharing.
"Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it for themselves. I want to leave my friends and family and grandchildren with beautiful memories.
"I like cooking everything. My favorite dishes are those I see others enjoying."
She and her husband live in a lovely home perched on the banks of the Tygart River. This means watching Canada geese almost skim the water's surface as they fly as a group. Waving to friends as they boat up and downstream. Relaxing on the back patio with a frosted glass of iced tea.
"And it means lots of get-togethers," she said. "Last summer, we hosted our granddaughter's high shool graduation party, our grandson's birthday party, a niece's engagement party, a family reunion and a meeting place for our church.
"Now that takes a lot of food! But it makes a huge amount of fun and memories.
"I am blessed to have a beautiful home. I don't want people to remember my home as just a lovely place, but as a home where the door is always open.
"It should be an everyday thing that we care about other people. To pay attention to what they have to say and how they feel. It should be an everyday thing that we be a very dear and giving friend. That's why every day should be special. Bless others with your love and wish them much happiness."
She likes cooking for other people, she said.
They have one daughter, Lee Ann Vincent, and two grandchildren, Kylee Ann Linger, 18, and Keaton Linger, 10. Her father, Jim Akers, passed away two years ago Christmas.
"They are my greatest blessings," she said of her grandchildren. "A gift from heaven."
They also live just two doors down.
"I have an open-door policy. They practically live here. Especially on snow days, when school's called off."
A few years back, she took a cooking class at Pete Dye Golf Club and finished first out of 35 other women, taking home a white chef's coat and toque.
"I placed first with hors d'oeuvres, but don't ask me what they were. I can't remember," she said with a laugh.
"But it was an honor."
Otherwise, she's not taken any professional cooking classes, she said.
She's the go-to person for wedding cakes, and was a wedding coordinator at her church. But it got to be too overwhelming, she said.
"I've done a little bit of everything."

My Favorite Recipe
Food is for sharing
Food does more than feed your body. It also feeds your soul.
- My Favorite Recipe
Sweet enough
If you like something sweet, Jessi Polis has the cake for you.
Her orange cream cheese pound cake is light, refreshing and just sweet enough to satisfy those cravings.
This cake is her husband Sam's favorite, she said.
Powerful poppers
Paula Ansberry makes some pretty powerful pepper poppers.
She got the recipe from a friend a couple of years ago. She was a little hesitant to try one. She's not a spicy food kind of person.
Sweet success
People say they go to cookouts and picnics to get together with friends and family.
They say they like the burgers and dogs, and pasta, fruit and potato salads, and all those other side dishes you can't have a picnic without.
Art of cooking
Kim Holbert isn't one of those "Try it; you'll like it" kind of cooks.
She's more like, "You like it; I'll make it."
"If I know that you have a preference toward something, I aim it that way," she said.
Just home cooking
Food doesn't have to be fancy to be tasty.
Judy Starn learned this growing up on Sugar Lane in Catawba. She was the only girl in nine children of Woodrow and Anna Starn. One brother passed away, so she grew up among seven brothers.
"I like to cook, but I wouldn't say I'm a good cook," she said.
Just plain cooking
You know those pretty layered salads people put in clear glass bowls, and you have to lift all the layers out at the same time and then spread them out on a plate so everybody can see how pretty it is, and then they go "ooh" and "ahh"?
'Just plain good'
When it's just too darned hot to cook, or you need something cool and light in a jiffy, Josephine Vespoint has a quick-as-a-wink salad for you.
Take two cans of pears, and drain and place each pear right side up on a bed of lettuce.
All about family
All her life, Alma Hoy Parrish has been about one thing: family.
She's put the knowledge she learned at her mother's knee to good use during her 46-year marriage to Tom Parrish while raising their two children, Mike Parrish and Lori Hill.
Easy and versatile
There are salads that you ever-so-politely nibble on.
Not Cathy Davis' California Tossed Salad.
It fills a large bowl to the brim. You have to grab it with tongs, lift it to your plate and, as she says it, "dive on in."
It's filling. It's healthy. It's easy to make.
Light and fluffy
Grandmas are probably the world's best cooks.
Just ask anybody who's been lucky enough to have eaten their scrumptious cookies, luscious pies, fluffy cakes and wholesome breads.

The term "chemotherapy" may raise many images in your mind, possibly some
of them quite frightening. That's why it's important to know that chemotherapy
is your powerful weapon in the fight against cancer.
Great strides have been made in the recent past toward making your journey
through treatment much smoother, both physically and emotionally. Breakthroughs
have also improved the effectiveness of treatment, increasing the odds
of success.
It's been said that chemotherapy is the treatment that can make you feel
sick in order to get better. That is because chemotherapy cannot tell the difference between cancer cells and healthy cells. Please keep in mind that the discomforts
are usually temporary and the rewards can be great.
Learning all you can about the facts of treatment and becoming an active
partner in your own care are the best ways to overcome any concerns and
to empower yourself in the process of getting well.

HOUSTON -- The playoffs are looking grim for the Houston Dynamo after a historic loss Sunday. The team lost 4-1 against the New York Red Bulls at BBVA Compass Stadium.
That's the most goals ever allowed at home in Dynamo history. Forward Jason Johnson scored the only goal of the night.
With seven games left, the Dynamo will have to step up their game.
Right now, the team is in sixth place in the Eastern Conference. Only the top five teams go to the playoffs.

The Cowboys reached an agreement to re-sign S Gerald Sensabaugh. According to ESPN Dallas' Calvin Watkins, it's a one-year deal worth $2.5 million.
Sensabaugh tweeted, "Headed back to the Big D."
The seventh-year vet played in all 16 games with 14 starts last season. He recorded career-highs in tackles (71), interceptions (five), sacks (two) and passes defensed (10).
It was thought that the Cowboys would be in the market for a safety to replace Sensabaugh. They were reportedly interested in Michael Huff, who re-signed with the Raiders.

Staff-recommended viewing from the KPL catalog.
My family saw this movie at the Rave when it was first released and I must admit the reviews almost scared me away. Being a HUGE fan of Dustin Hoffman I decided to give in to the pleas of my daughters and give it a try. Was it a great movie? No. Was it a fun movie for the entire family? Most definitely. The performances of Hoffman, Natalie Portman, and Jason Bateman vary from adequate to fabulous in this tale of a magical toy store that becomes depressed. Both children and adults will dig the thousands of different toys that come to life. My gut feeling is that Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium will actually age better than many of the other family oriented movies being released in the past few years.

---- — ELDON — Volunteers and community leaders with the Eldon Riverfront Committee are planting trees in their community to provide more shade and save energy. The local effort is part of the statewide Trees Forever and Alliant Energy Branching Out program.
"We're looking forward to working with Trees Forever and Alliant Energy to plant more trees in Eldon this year," said local project volunteer Donna Jeffrey. "With their help, we are literally planting a better environment while making Eldon healthier, more vibrant and more energy efficient."
Planting trees provides more shade and cools the air, helping to lower energy costs and reduce peak electric demand. Trees also provide many other long-term health, economic, social and environmental benefits to the community.
"Trees Forever and Alliant Energy are very excited to support this project, as we know it will provide years and years of beauty and benefits to the community," said Shannon Ramsay, Trees Forever founding president. "We want to thank our local volunteers for their hard work and their dedication to improving the environment and quality of life in Eldon. Together, we are planting a better tomorrow."
Trees Forever administers the Branching Out program throughout Iowa, providing technical and planning support to participating communities. Alliant Energy funds the overall program and provides project grants to the communities. This fall the Branching Out program will award $115,050 in grants to assist 25 Iowa communities and groups with tree-planting projects. Eldon Riverfront Committee will receive $1,800 for its tree-planting project.

As I always say – I love a good dreamcatcher. Always have . You have to keep the bad spirits out of your dreams at night and bring in a little *magic* to your space. I recently put up this dreamy lacy one with an amethyst, my birthstone, over my bed to bring me sweet dreams. I got it at a flea market here in Philly and it's by Sultana Maria, but the best ones are really Electric Love. My antler head? Also a Philly flea market score – he's a real Pennsylvania Buck. I'm posting this as I am about to crawl into that bed of mine, and face and conquer another Monday tomorrow….sighhh xo
::Nightmares pass through the holes and out of the window. The good dreams are trapped in the web, and then slide down the feathers to the sleeping person::
James Perse tee // DIY Vintage Denim skirt (a great new one here) // Ray Ban Wayfarers // Annabel Ingall Large Tote bag // Teva sandals : Teva Universal in White & Teva Original Thong in Teal/Coral
I had a moment as I was pulling into work yesterday morning: the windows rolled down listening to Lana Del Rey's new album, I got out of the car and walked into the building in 80 degree weather at 9am in this outfit, and I thought, wow it's summer. Summertime is here. It's almost hard for me to believe after that endless winter. And don't tell the future me in approx one weeks time when I really can't deal with the humidity, but it feels amazing. There's something great about experiencing summer on the East Coast where its 85 – 95 degrees everyday for 3 months, from sun rise to sun set, like clockwork. I really haven't experienced that before, ever. And here we have what will surely be my summer uniform: my favorite easy tee, a throw on denim skirt, and my new favorite sandals – Tevas. For most people Tevas bring them back to the mid 90s – we all had them, I wore them with socks in middle school. And while I am totally not getting on board with the Birkenstock thing (I actually wore them not that long ago in the 2000s in college, and I get that they're like all fashion right now (chic?) but I.Just.Can't. do it again- mostly because everyone else apparently can and I have big feet). I was hesitant on the Teva thing too, but then I saw this, and then them here, and then this was really the topper on the cake, and all of a sudden, I wanted them. I think they're pretty cute (right??!!), and they're not Birkenstocks :-). So welcome Summer, I'm so ready for you. xx

I was asked recently to put together a little guide to Philly- all of my favorite places to eat, drink & do (which I will be publishing here very soon)- including pictures of me in front of my favorite Philly landmark. I chose the Philadelphia Art Museum- specifically, it's front steps, which are of course iconic for those scenes in 'Rocky.' The Art Museum is my favorite landmark for a couple of reasons – 1) the art inside (so many good impressionists), and 2) the view from the top of the steps (I missed the mark on a picture of that for sure), which is of the whole city looking down Ben Franklin Parkway to City Hall. You can't miss a trip here if you ever visit Philly (and you should! Come hang with me!). My outfit is an ode to classic East Coast Prep – which seemed appropriate- with my own twist of course (I don't think anyone would ever call me 'preppy' but I do have an appreciation for the classics). Nautical Stripes in a cool slouchy silhouette and a structured Navy fluted skirt. Classic tortoise shell sunglasses and a red lip finish off the a-little-Americana look.

A: Nearly black as night, with a quickly dissapating beige cream head.
S: There's more upfront sweetness to the smell than there is in the taste. From the smell I was expecting something that would suit a dessert nicely. Elements of Guinness-style smoothness under the sweetness, with just a small hint of more assertive flavors (almond, hop, raisin).
T: Nutty, thick, slightly toasty, and savory, with a lingering background sweetness. Not the dessert drink I'd anticipated. It's bite was softened by it's creaminess, but the bite was still present and appreciated. In terms of ABV, I would have assumed it was higher (around 8, rather than 6). The taste was reminiscent of some other, better beers (Like Delirium Nocturnum), which could have lessened my opinionof it. Despite that, it was very solid and very enjoyable. Better than average, definitely.
M: Thick, but appropriately so, considering. The sweet aftertaste made a gradual exit, but did not overstay its welcome as is often the case.
O: The price discourages regular purchases, but besides that point this beer is very good. Not a must-buy, since there are cheaper beers that I'd argue do it better, but it's well worth a shot.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
A cola looking body with just off white big bubbly head
Low key aromas of acid drops and coriander
Tastes like a mildly spiced coffee not all that much roast or charcoal coming through with a slight but very unfortunate note of stomach acid
Much thinner than I imagined what with the heavy ceramic and bottle notes it is also very fizzy to begin with and goes flat very quickly.
This was very expensive and
still trying to weigh out with it being a barely above average ale
and such a fantastic and re-useable bottle wether this was worth the big expense.

S- Strong smell of raisins, slightly woody, sweet
T- the date/raisin flavor is overpowering, mild alcohol heat that finishes the beer nicely

Overall a good beer. It's not something I would seek out, but still worth trying.

Beer poured out from a bottle. It had a clear, dark brown appearance and a white, foamy head. Not much of a smell; a little bit of malt and a little bit of toastiness. Tasted sweet and malty, with a little bit of toastedness. There was a little bit of bitterness in the aftertaste.
Would I buy this beer again? Probably.

Caramel brown that settles close to dark. One finger, fluffy head dissipates to a 1/4th inch layer. Smooth, lasting retention. Good lace.
Dark fruit aroma: raisins, plum, dark grapes. Figs, hints of brown sugar, baked bread, dough, yeast, very mild spices. Quite malty.
The taste is comparably malty with a strong bread presence. Hints of chocolate, raisins, figs, subtle yeast spice and plum. Faint earthiness.
The body is medium-full with fluffy, modest carbonation. Dusty finish.
Pretty nice drinkin' here. Seems more like a Belgian Dark Ale than a Porter, but who's counting?

S: Tons of yeast and grass, roasted malt.
T: That yeast pushes through in the beginning with a ton of bitter flavor that may be a bit too much.
M: Thick and effervescent, it has a slightly dry finish. Not bad here.
O: A bit underwhelming, but the bottle makes up for it.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Shares of Juniper Networks rallied Monday morning after shareholder Elliott Management unveiled what it called "value plan" for the networking gear company, although the proposal drew mixed reactions from analysts.
Juniper /quotes/zigman/202982/delayed/quotes/nls/jnpr JNPR -0.76% was up nearly 9% to $25.62 after shareholder Elliott Management, which owns 6.2% of Juniper's shares, presented a plan that it said would lift the stock to $35 to $40 a share through share buybacks, reducing expenses and streamlining its business operations.
Reuters Enlarge Image
Janney Capital analyst Bill Choi endorsed key elements of the plan, telling clients in a note, "The company can improve its operating expense efficiency, has sufficient cash on its balance sheet to return significant capital to shareholders, and that the product portfolio needs greater focus/execution."
"We believe that the timing of the proposal is good, as the new CEO started Jan 1 and that the positive service provider spending cycle would ease the risk of operating adjustments," he added.
Juniper's new Chief Executive Shaygan Kheradpir took over this month after the retirement of former CEO Kevin Johnson.
On the other hand, Wedbush analyst Rohit Chopra told clients in a note that the proposal faces major challenges.
"A quick analysis of simply following Elliott's buyback and cost-reduction plan yields at least another $1/sh in 2015 to $2.60 in our model," he wrote. "However, the key takeaway is that Juniper had outlined similar steps to Elliott's proposal with limited success. Given the magnitude of Elliott's proposed targets, we believe significant execution challenges remain and there is likely to be some negotiation on what can realistically be done. "
Meanwhile, the tech sector edged lower as shares of Microsoft Corp. /quotes/zigman/20493/delayed/quotes/nls/msft MSFT -0.96% and IBM Corp. /quotes/zigman/230066/delayed/quotes/nls/ibm IBM -1.20% retreated. Microsoft was down 2.2%, while IBM gave up 1.6%.
The group got a lift from Hewlett-Packard /quotes/zigman/229301/delayed/quotes/nls/hpq HPQ -1.38% which was up 2% and Apple /quotes/zigman/68270/delayed/quotes/nls/aapl AAPL -2.60% which gained 0.5%.
On the downside, shares of Groupon Inc. /quotes/zigman/7212269/delayed/quotes/nls/grpn GRPN +1.41% were off more than 4% after the online daily deals site announced that it has acquired ideeli, an online flash-sale fashion retailer, for $43 million in cash. Also in the red were shares of Facebook Inc. /quotes/zigman/9962609/delayed/quotes/nls/fb FB -2.71% and Yahoo Inc. /quotes/zigman/59898/delayed/quotes/nls/yhoo YHOO -2.16%
The Nasdaq Composite Index /quotes/zigman/12633936/realtime COMP -2.09% was down 1.2%. The Morgan Stanley High Tech 35 Index /quotes/zigman/6015481/realtime MSH -1.90% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index /quotes/zigman/1468249/delayed SOX -2.10% were each down a fraction.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Christopher J. Schoepflin, president of USA Niagara Development Corp., the state's economic development agency in Niagara Falls, spoke last Thursday to The Buffalo News Editorial Board about a range of issues that touch on redevelopment of Niagara Falls.
News Publisher Stanford Lipsey, Editorial Page Editor Michael N. Vogel, Niagara Editor Scott Scanlon and Editorial Writer Dawn Bracely asked the questions.
Listen to an extended audio clip of the discussion here:
USA Niagara mostly has focused on the "low-hanging fruit" since it set up in Niagara Falls several years ago, Schoepflin said, pointing to one bigger recent project: the demolition of the Wintergarden and recently completed improvements along Old Falls Street, which now connects Niagara Falls State Park to the Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel.
The next big project is the Niagara County Community College culinary institute.
Schoepflin said the state has invested roughly $100 million in Niagara Falls during the last decade but that the city easily could use $1 billion or more in new investment during the next couple of decades. He predicted it will be up to private investors from the region to bolster the city economy during the next several years as the national and world economy rebounds from the recession.
"We're at the end of the beginning of the process of turning it around," he said, "but we've still got a lot of work to do."

How to Prepare for Law School
So you've decided to attend law school. Good choice! Maybe you were a Pre-Law major interning at a law office, or maybe you studied Biology and only recently decided to follow a legal career. Maybe you're 21 or maybe you're 55. No matter what your background, law school is a completely different ball game from your past education and experiences. We all begin law school with a blank slate. So, how do you prepare?
First, relax. This is your break before diving into cases and hundreds of pages to analyze. Try to avoid burn out before you even begin. Catch up with friends and family, read novels that you find interesting, keep up with the news and current events. Take a vacation if you can!
Next, consider keeping your mind active with a few classes or books. They don't need to be intense, just a way to keep keen for school. Widener Law offers a summer Paralegal Certificate program that introduces legal research, legal writing and mechanics of the litigation process. If you feel that extra courses can help you, this is a great head start.

EDI and Claims Related Frequently Asked Questions
Why are multiple copies of various notifications being sent from the Commission?
This might occur because a particular party is listed more than once, unless the addresses and name of the party are exactly the same. Identical names and addresses will alert our system to send only one copy of the notice. In addition, an EDI submission accepted by ROES may fail during VWC ingestion;. Re-ingestion can create multiple mailings. We are working with IS to timely re-ingest and stop multiple mailings.
IS recently upgraded the system to identify multiple parties and the system is currently being enhanced to address issues and resolve multiple role mailings.
When multiple mailings are received with different submission dates, such as 20-day
orders, which submission date should the carrier follow?
An EDI SROI payment submission generates the 20-day Order Payments Made. If payment submitted does not match an Award, a 20-day Order Payments Made will be generated. There was a glitch in the system in which only the first period of benefits paid is recognized. This has since been fixed to make sure the system recognizes which benefit type does not have a corresponding award. This fix/update included, upon EDI receipt, a 30-day timer and a check for the Award before sending the 20-day Order.
Why are some SROI submissions rejected?
ROES performs technical edits but the VWC system edits for specific information. If a transaction passes ROES edits but not VWCs, then it is flagged for review and we will clarify with the adjuster. If it is determined that the information is correct, we will re- ingest. If it is determined that the information is incorrect, it might require re-submission of the SROI.
Why are we receiving 20-day orders when the IP and QT have gone out and
agreement forms have been uploaded?
Until the Award is entered, the process of creating 20 day orders does not stop. The new 30 day timer will facilitate receipt of agreement forms and entry of the award without triggering the 20-day Payments Made orders.
Why does the carrier have to continue to respond to 20-day orders when responses
have been sent, agreement form has been issued to the claimant, the claimant is not
responding and there is no award?
Our system automatically generates a 20-day Order 30 days after receipt of a SROI transaction if the payment information does not match to an Award. A recent upgrade to our system includes human interaction to trigger whether a subsequent 20-day Payments Made order should be sent. This should help cut down on the volume of duplicate 20-day Orders being generated if a response has already been received.
Is there any way to suppress 20-day orders once QT is sent when reporting
20-day orders only go out on medical payments when the total medical paid exceeds $3500.00 and no award has been entered; and on indemnity benefits paid when no matching award has been entered. If no Award has been entered, a 20 Day Order can be sent up to four times a year (every quarter).
Must we submit QT transactions for medical only files?
Meds under $2,000 with no medical award will not trigger a notice. Medical payment advisory is sent when meds are between $2,000.00 and $3,500.00. Meds over $3,500.00 will trigger a 20-Day Order.
QT transactions are required on medical only claims only if additional medical payments have been made since the last SROI transaction was submitted.
If the claimant is not asking for an award and the carrier continues to make
payments without award, how many times does carrier have to respond?
Each SROI transaction may trigger a 20-Day Order that will require a response. If QT then four times a year.
There is an EDI error waiting on acknowledgement of claim. What does this
ROES sends the acknowledgement record for the VWC. If you have not received your acknowledgement record then you should immediately contact the VWC so they can follow-up with ROES. If the record contains an error then it is because something was submitted incorrectly from the Claim Administrator. They should correct the mistake based on the error text contained in the acknowledgement. VWC is unable to tell you where to correct the mistake because each Claim Administrator may have a different system we are unfamiliar with.
Is there any way the agency can create an imaging e-mail system for carriers and
TPAs to eliminate duplicates?
This is a good suggestion to look at down the road. The Commission would like to conduct as much business as possible electronically.
Why are 20-day orders generated when agreement forms are filed for a closed
period and an award is received?
Upon receipt of 20-day orders, a copy of the award order is submitted by carrier as the response to the 20-day order. Our system may have been missing a step in the process. We have since revamped the 20-Day Order process to prevent this from occuring.
When a claim report is filed in some other way than through the carrier, a copy of
the claim is not attached to the Notify of Injury requesting the FROI.
At this time a copy is not sent. A pending enhancement will cause a copy to be sent.
Carrier info associated with a claim is being changed; same error occurs with wrong
carrier being again identified (This error occurs in multiple claims and the same
wrong carrier is identified each time).
Carrier and Claim Administrator information is not claim specific, but is master data that cannot be corrected via EDI; Changes to this information need to be submitted in writing.
Why does the Commission continue to contact claimant multiple times regarding
further claim filings for medical only claims when the carrier is making medical
In Casper electronic reporting of payments provides more information than the Legacy system allowed, therefore, more follow-up will occur.
When the carrier agrees to a medical only award, can space be added for body parts
covered by agreement?
Currently if carrier wishes to agree to specified body parts (one or a few), an agreement form should be submitted. If agreement comes from a 20-Day Order, the award will be entered for all causally related body parts.
When documentation is submitted, what response is generated via EDI?
Currently no response is generated.
What is required when reporting on claims with dates of accident prior to 10/1/08?
EDI transmissions will be required on all active claims for dates of accident prior to 10/1/08. The Commission will require an initial FROI with 1 catch-up SROI. Normal SROI reports will be required thereafter. Voluntary submissions can be sent beginning January 2012; mandatory submission on migrated files begins July 2012.
What happens if I have multiple JCNs for the same claim?
When the Commission receives notification of an injury and a FROI has not been filed, we create a JCN for that injury. We then request a FROI and require that it contain the JCN we assigned. If a duplicate JCN is created by FROI, different criteria are used to determine which number is used. All the duplicates will be consolidated into that JCN.
Why are 20-day orders being generated monthly when a 12/09 award was entered
for specific body parts for a closed period and termination paper was filed?
Our first 20-day order was issued 1/10, so we have no ready explanation.
Carrier receiving mail they do not really need going to carrier rather than TPA.
TPA filed FROI; mailing still incorrect. PMA was not listed even though they had
filed information.
Both get the mailing because the law requires that all parties be notified as a courtesy we also send a copy to the TPA, a non-party.
A claim administrator cannot access both claims when duplicate JCNs are created.
Once a consolidation request is received, the JCN is determined, everything is placed in one JCN, and the parties are notified. The Claim Administrator cannot be identified until a FROI is filed and then they are associated with the claim. Once that happens, they will be able to log on to WebFile and see the JCN we decided to keep. Generally, duplicate JCNs are consolidated under VA00, but can be consolidated under VA02. No JCN should be canceled until the Commission advises which to cancel. Contact Kevin Guild if the file is not viewable in WebFile.
Defense attorney expressed concern over calls from clients indicating FROIs had
been filed but could not tell if it had been received. What about a penalty for failing
to file FROI in this situation? Recognizing that in the future there will be more
enforcement, why should a carrier be penalized if they do not have any indication of
Every EDI transaction (FROI and SROI) is acknowledged by the Commission through our vendor (ROES). Regardless whether the transaction is accepted or rejected, an acknowledgment record is issued back to the submitter. If an adjuster does not see this record, they should check with their IT or EDI team. If for some reason, the acknowledgment record was not received, they should contact the Commissions EDI Team.
Many states were surveyed on enforcement. Although many suggested the immediate imposition of penalties, the Commission has chosen to emphasize voluntary cooperation as we all work through these new processes. Until things are working more smoothly, penalties are not being issued except in the most egregious cases. The Commission will make future enforcement decisions as necessary.
Who do we contact for future problems?
Claims/Awards Vivian Guidt, firstname.lastname@example.com. EDI Stephanie Brenzovich, for EDI questions, email@example.com.
How can a FROI be filed and yet VWC does not have it?
When an EDI transaction is submitted, it is initially sent to our vendor (ROES). The commission receives the EDI transactions from ROES every night. If a customer is completely sure that an EDI transaction was submitted and they are advised by the Commission that there is no record of it, they should ask to speak to someone in the Quality Assurance Department EDI Unit so we can investigate and reach out to our vendor if needed.
Generation of duplicate documents by VWC.
When a transaction was accepted but not ingested because of ROES differences, some documents were held in the system and not generated until re-ingestion. A decision was made to release all documents once the ingestion could be accepted due to upgrades.
Who should we contact when we have issues?
All calls should be directed to the VWC Call Center at (877) 664-2566 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Customers can also contact the EDI department via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What triggers change request for the employer or its address?
If the information came from a written request, VWC sends out the correction required letter. In addition, any address submitted via EDI is scrubbed for accuracy according to the United States Postal Service.
The request is not sent out based on the claimants Claim For Benefits. If the claimants Claim for Benefits has a different address than the FROI, a letter is sent to the claimant to clarify the address.
Claim Administrators are the owners of the data. If information is incorrect, we send out a letter asking the owner to verify the information and make correction via EDI.
ROES cannot accept two claims for same claimant and same date of accident. This
happens frequently with certain professions. How do we resolve this issue?
At this time, the system will not accept two accidents with the same injured worker on the same day. The transaction for the second injury would have to be manually accepted by ROES. VWC is currently working with ROES to resolve this situation.
When VWC makes changes or corrections through USPS, can carriers be notified?
We are reviewing all aspects of address scrubbing, and will consider the need for such notifications.
What has occurred when address changes and scrubbing occurs on an address which
is the same as that scrubbed?
FROI02 has been submitted to update VWCs system.
UR → MO → 00 lost time.
UR follows up with 00 changes from minor injury to non-minor (major).
Agreement forms were submitted with PPD medical records, but a notice was
generated requesting medical records. Why does this occur?
Mail was originally separated and medical records were not associated with the agreement. Enhancement procedures will keep medical records with agreement forms.
Once PPD has been paid in full, we submit a letter notifying of final payment.
Should a suspension be filed?
Yes. The suspension indicates benefits have been paid in full. A SROI payment report should be filed rather than a letter notifying Commission that the PPD Award has been paid.
As a follow-up question, we submitted forms and the rating from a doctor via
WebFile, but the carrier received a request for medical records. How could this
If amputation is involved, the Commission needs the actual amputation chart or may require additional medical if the doctors rating does not match the agreement form.
If you are using WebFile, upload/file agreement forms and medical documents separately. This process will bypass our manual step to identify documents and place the document(s) directly into the file.
Wage loss award form return to work modified duty, less wages use old form?
A Termination of Wage Loss Award form is not required if you are returning the claimant to temporary partial disability due to modified duty at lesser wages. An additional Award Agreement should be filed indicating temporary partial disability information.
Does the Commission still accept Supplemental Varying forms?
These forms should not be used for post 10/1/08 claims. We will accept them if the form is completed correctly. If the form is filled out incorrectly, it will be rejected. The new Award Agreement form does not require the post injury wage information and should be submitted each time the compensation rate and post injury wage changes. Line 2 under the section for temporary partial benefits allows you to average a period of up to 13 weeks.
We are receiving phone calls 2 to 3 weeks later on things, such as 20-day orders, to
which carrier has already responded. Why does this happen?
These calls should not be made since mail is up to date. If this is occurring, please contact the VWCs Claims Services Interim Co-Managers, Angela Lent Truzzie or Renee Marks at 877-664-2566 for further investigation.
Would like webfile capabilities to be more user friendly so all fields do not have to be
entered in their entirety each time, i.e., have to go through entire list of states to get
to Virginia.
Currently, VWC is researching common fields that can be auto populated which will reduce data entry for users.
COLA if only claims with an open award and the claimant is not receiving Social
Security can they receive COLA, why is it not set up that only those claims receive
Virginia Code Section 65.2-709 requires the claimant to apply each year for COLA with a signed statement from SSA confirming the claimant is not receiving social security disability. Our database is unable to determine if the claimant is receiving social security disability versus social security retirement.
Why are COLA letters are sent in cases where there is no open TTD award?
COLA benefits can be payable on a claim in which there is no open TTD award provided that the date of injury is prior to July 1 and the COLA request is after October 1 of the same year.
No, VWC does not electronically exchange information with the Social Security Administration.

Chrysler Crossfire / Crossfire SRT-6 Prices Paid and Buying Experience
So I decided to purchase a silver coupe with gray interior if I could find one, and I did. The dealer purchased one from a chrysler auction and would sell me the car for $21,500 with the 39 months/39k bumper to bumper warranty. I floundered on purchasing the car and lost the deal. He sold it to someone else. As I continued to find another car in and around nj, I realized there are no more left in this area in the color I wanted. One black with the brick and gray interior ($23,995), and a dealer with a silver one with the brick and gray interior and wanted $30,0000. So I wound up finding a used 2008 silver coupe with 9k on the clock with the 36months/36k bumper to bumper and 6 years 80k powertrain warranty from the dealer starting the day I picked the car up if I purchased it. AND I DID!!! For $17,500. So tell me, did I screw up by not purchasing the new one or made a decent deal on purchasing the used one?
mauiceo Posts: 1Hi, I came across the comments about the two lucky guys who paid $17K for their new 2008's. I'm looking for a similar deal. Can buy in CA or TX (or have it shipped, I guess). Convertible / Roadster. I don't care about the lifetime powertrain warranty exception. Does anyone know where I can get one? Any color but gold. :-) Thanks for your help!
I have been keeping my eye on Chrysler Crossfires the last year since they announced they were discontinuing the model. Used prices spiked in the summer (makes sense). Yesterday I was online and saw a dealer selling a 2007 for 15k. I then saw today the same dealer selling 2 new '08s for 21K. I definately don't see a value for 7K difference for one year although it appears the '08 is a limited and the '07 is a base. I saw that some people paid 17K for an '08, some OTD. Has anyone had any luck recently? I would definately buy the '08 for 17K where 2K more makes sense for a model year. Any thoughts or anyone have any recent purchases? Any one buy any 2007 models recently?
So the honeymoon is over.... I drove an '08 auto tranny limited and was unimpressed. It had huge blind spots in the rear, tiny mirrors. I can just imagine how little I can see when there is a passenger. The auto was uninspiring; when I punched it the trans was like "do you really want to do that"? It got going between 25 and 50 but it took a while to get there. Such a beautiful car though... Oh well it wasn't meant to be.

Two juveniles have been issued desk appearance tickets, accusing them of making terroristic threats at Delaware Academy Central School.
The district contacted the Delhi Police Department on Thursday after what was described as a non-specific, threatening message was found in a textbook, police said.
Police officers, assisted by district staff members, the Delaware County Sheriff's Office, the state police and the District Attorney's Office, investigated the alleged threat and issued the tickets to the two juveniles, the police department said in a media release. The tickets refer the youths, whose names were not released by police, to the Delaware County Probation Department.
Police said that students and staff were not in danger at any time.

text: The U.S. Senate is expected to vote next month on a bill that could require online retailers to collect sales taxes from customers in every state that imposes them. The measure has been bashed by opponents as a tax increase that would cripple small Web businesses. It's not, and it won't. Instead, the Marketplace Fairness Act would eliminate an outdated restriction that favors those who can shop online over those who can't or won't. That's reason enough for it to become law.

North America Genocide Day
What a strange thing to celebrate is Columbus Day: the enslavement and death of millions of indigenous people. Hey, at least we get the day off…
Hawaii, Oregon, Alaska, and South Dakota apparently do not recognize this holiday. They got it right. So did Berkeley, CA.
This is a genuine opportunity for the church to quit mythologizing about the Christian origin of this country, especially as a pretext for evangelical political involvement. The church is supposed to be about truth and love for all peoples, eh? Any takers?

Do-Nothing Congress Somehow Manages to Do Even Less

The 112th Congress (2011-2013, R.I.P.) was relentlessly mocked for its amazing ability to not get things done, but the new edition is on pace to set an even greater standard for futility. The 112th, which ended its last session on January 3, passed 220 laws, the fewest of any Congress since they started keep statistics, and more than 100 fewer than the previous record low. Yet, six months into its term the 113th Congress is actually on pace to pass even fewer laws than that. Just 15 bills have become law this year, compared to 23 over the same period in 2011. (It also doesn't help that they rarely show up to work.)
Now to be fair, more laws don't necessarily mean better laws. (Most conservatives and libertarians would argue that the fewer laws there are, the better.) But as Ezra Klein pointed out in his eulogy for the last term, many of the laws passed by the 112th were intentionally designed to spur future legislative action that never came to pass. (Remember the fiscal cliff? Sequestration?) Those ideas failed miserably, causing much more harm than good, and the 113th has done nothing to pick up the slack. The only the sequester problem that's been "fixed" was a few airport lines. Everyone else has been out of luck.
So with six months gone in 2013, there's been no progress on immigration, the debt ceiling, gun control, taxes, climate change, or any of the big, hot ticket items that everyone says they want to take action. And it's clear that they're not simply responding to the will of the people. One of the few things they have accomplished is historically low approval and confidence ratings. Voting 37 times to repeal a law that isn't going away has a way of making people thing that you're wasting their time.
