The task force shall be composed of representatives of consumers, business, providers, payers and government agencies.
(h) No additional intermediate care facility for individuals with an intellectual disability (ICF/ ID) beds may be granted a certificate of need, except that prohibition does not apply to ICF/MR beds approved under the Kanawha County circuit court order of August 3, 1989, civil action number MISC-81-585 issued in the case of E.H. v. Matin, 168 W.V. 248, 284 S.E. 2d 232 (1981).
(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (g) of this section and further notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (b), section three of this article, an existing acute care hospital may apply to the Health Care Authority for a certificate of need to convert acute care beds to skilled nursing beds: Provided, That the proposed skilled nursing beds are Medicare- certified only: Provided, however, That any hospital which converts acute care beds to Medicare- certified only skilled nursing beds shall not bill for any Medicaid reimbursement for any converted beds. In converting beds, the hospital shall convert a minimum of one acute care bed into one Medicare- certified only skilled nursing bed. The Health Care Authority may require a hospital to convert up to and including three acute care beds for each Medicare certified only skilled nursing bed: Provided further, That a hospital designated or provisionally designated by the state agency as a rural primary care hospital may convert up to thirty beds to a distinct-part nursing facility, including skilled nursing beds and intermediate care beds, on a one-for-one basis if the rural primary care hospital is located in a county without a certified freestanding nursing facility and the hospital may bill for Medicaid reimbursement for the converted beds: And provided further, That if the hospital rejects the designation as a rural primary care hospital, then the hospital may not bill for Medicaid reimbursement. The Health Care Authority shall adopt rules to implement this subsection which require that:
(1) All acute care beds converted shall be permanently deleted from the hospital's acute care bed complement and the hospital may not thereafter add, by conversion or otherwise, acute care beds to its bed complement without satisfying the requirements of subsection (b), section three of this article for which purposes an addition, whether by conversion or otherwise, shall be considered a substantial change to the bed capacity of the hospital notwithstanding the definition of that term found in subsection (ff), section two of this article.
(2) The hospital shall meet all federal and state licensing certification and operational requirements applicable to nursing homes including a requirement that all skilled care beds created under this subsection shall be located in distinct-part, long-term care units.
(3) The hospital shall demonstrate a need for the project.
(4) The hospital shall use existing space for the Medicare- certified only skilled nursing beds. Under no circumstances shall the hospital construct, lease or acquire additional space for purposes of this section.
(5) The hospital shall notify the acute care patient, prior to discharge, of facilities with skilled nursing beds which are located in or near the patient's county of residence. Nothing in this subsection negatively affects the rights of inspection and certification which are otherwise required by federal law or regulations or by this code or duly adopted rules of an authorized state entity.
(j) (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (g) of this section, a retirement life care center with no skilled nursing beds may apply to the Health Care Authority for a certificate of need for up to sixty skilled nursing beds provided the proposed skilled beds are Medicare-certified only. On a statewide basis, a maximum of one hundred eighty skilled beds which are Medicare- certified only may be developed pursuant to this subsection. The state health plan is not applicable to projects submitted under this subsection. The Health Care Authority shall adopt rules to implement this subsection which shall include a requirement that:
(A) The one hundred eighty beds are to be distributed on a statewide basis;
(B) There be a minimum of twenty beds and a maximum of sixty beds in each approved unit;
(C) The unit developed by the retirement life care center meets all federal and state licensing certification and operational requirements applicable to nursing homes;
(D) The retirement center demonstrates a need for the project;
(E) The retirement center offers personal care, home health services and other lower levels of care to its residents; and
(F) The retirement center demonstrates both short- and long-term financial feasibility.
(2) Nothing in this subsection negatively affects the rights of inspection and certification which are otherwise required by federal law or regulations or by this code or duly adopted rules of an authorized state entity.
(k) The state agency may order a moratorium upon the offering or development of a new institutional health service when criteria and guidelines for evaluating the need for the new institutional health service have not yet been adopted or are obsolete. The state agency may also order a moratorium on the offering or development of a health service, notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (5), subsection (b), section three of this article, when it determines that the proliferation of the service may cause an adverse impact on the cost of health care or the health status of the public. A moratorium shall be declared by a written order which shall detail the circumstances requiring the moratorium. Upon the adoption of criteria for evaluating the need for the health service affected by the moratorium, or one hundred eighty days from the declaration of a moratorium, whichever is less, the moratorium shall be declared to be over and applications for certificates of need are processed pursuant to section six of this article: Provided, That the state agency may not order a moratorium upon the offering or development of skilled nursing facilities providing services for the treatment of children under one year of age suffering from Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome.

When the state agency proposes amendments or modifications to the certificate of need standards, it shall file with the Secretary of State, for publication in the State Register, a notice of proposed action, including the text of all proposed amendments and modifications, and a date, time and place for receipt of general public comment. To comply with the public comment requirement of this section, the state agency may hold a public hearing or schedule a public comment period for the receipt of written statements or documents.
(2) When amending and modifying the certificate of need standards, the state agency shall identify relevant criteria contained in section six of this article or rules adopted pursuant to section eight of this article and apply those relevant criteria to the proposed new institutional health service in a manner that promotes the public policy goals and legislative findings contained in section one of this article. In doing so, the state agency may consult with or rely upon learned treatises in health planning, recommendations and practices of other health planning agencies and organizations, recommendations from consumers, recommendations from health care providers, recommendations from third-party payors, materials reflecting the standard of care, the state agency's own developed expertise in health planning, data accumulated by the state agency or other local, state or federal agency or organization and any other source deemed relevant to the certificate of need standards proposed for amendment or modification.
(3) All proposed amendments and modifications to the certificate of need standards, with a record of the public hearing or written statements and documents received pursuant to a public comment period, shall be presented to the Governor. Within thirty days of receiving the proposed amendments or modifications, the Governor shall either approve or disapprove all or part of the amendments and modifications and, for any portion of amendments or modifications not approved, shall specify the reason or reasons for nonapproval. Any portions of the amendments or modifications not approved by the Governor may be revised and resubmitted.
(4) The certificate of need standards adopted pursuant to this section which are applicable to the provisions of this article are not subject to article three, chapter twenty-nine-a of this code. The state agency shall follow the provisions set forth in this subsection for giving notice to the public of its actions, holding hearings or receiving comments on the certificate of need standards. The certificate of need standards in effect on November 29, 2005, and all prior versions promulgated and adopted in accordance with the provisions of this section are and have been in full force and effect from each of their respective dates of approval by the Governor.
(m) The state agency may exempt from or expedite rate review, certificate of need and annual assessment requirements and issue grants and loans to financially vulnerable health care facilities located in underserved areas that the state agency and the Office of Community and Rural Health Services determine are collaborating with other providers in the service area to provide cost effective health care services.

Camp Happy Days aims to help kids kick cancer, and the Southern Drag Racing Association is right there to help aid the non-profit organization in that endeavor.
The organization's 29th annual car show is set for this weekend in the parking lot by Texas Roadhouse and adjacent to the Super K-Mart on Rivers Avenue in North Charleston. Proceeds will go to benefit Camp Happy Days.
It's an event that has drawn favorable weather over the last decades and crowds have showed up in droves.
"The Lord has been good to us," SDRA activities chairman Linda Hood said. "I've looked at the 10-day forecast and it's supposed to be 71 and sunny."
In the 11 years Hood has been in charge, the car show has only been affected by weather twice. The first year rain pushed the show back to Sunday, and another time inclement weather cut short the event by two hours.
The show is set for Saturday from 9-4, with a rain date of Sunday.
"Last year, I had 98 cars and last year was the biggest show we've ever had," Hood said. "The year before that we had 91 cars."
Hood said she expected a similar turnout this year. Cost for spectators is free and to enter a car in one of the various classes is $20.
Prizes will be raffled off by the SDRA and O'Reilly Auto Parts will serve as corporate sponsor, and will also have some free giveaways. Other vendors will be present as well and there will be a DJ spinning music.
"This is an ideal spot to host a car show," Hood said. "Eventually, we'd like to move it closer to the road."
She estimated that close to 1,000 car lovers attend the event each year. This is the eighth year it's been held by Texas Roadhouse.
There are a number of classes judged at the car show. In the race car division, there is the pro class, sportsman class and junior dragster class.
In open class, there is street class, street rod and truck class. In the motorcycle class, there is a division for cruisers and sport bikes.
There will also be a specialty class, which would cover antiques.
A car show preview for SDRA members will be held Friday night from 7-10 in the Hooters parking lot.
The Southern Drag Racing Association has donated close to $15,000 to Camp Happy Days the last two years.
Over the last two decades, over 200 families have benefited from Camp Happy Days' assistance program, which aids families and children impacted by pediatric cancer.
"That's why I work my butt off for this show," Hood said. "They support me and everybody is behind it."
The SDRA begins its race season later this month and it runs through September. The association's home track is in Orangeburg since moving from Cooper River Dragstrip in 2007.

CLEMSON -- When the man who's privately tutored Tajh Boyd and Aaron Murray expects nothing less than "spectacular performances" from the duo, that's a true sign it's about to be a special night.
George Whitfield Jr., a quarterback tutor to the stars, has instructed Boyd each of the past two springs in California and worked with Murray in Oklahoma in the offseason.
When Murray and Boyd take center stage tonight in Death Valley, leading No. 5 Georgia and No. 8 Clemson respectively, Whitfield makes an NFL correlation to each player, and it's a lofty one.
"This is college football's version," Whitfield said, "of Aaron Rodgers vs. Drew Brees."
Whitfield, 35, counts among his pupils Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers, Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Donovan McNabb and Johnny Manziel. He's the founder of Whitfield Athletix, and his academy is based in San Diego.
Following his Saturday morning segment on ESPN's College GameDay, Whitfield told the Post and Courier that Boyd "is basically like watching Aaron Rodgers wear the No. 10 in orange."
Boyd first worked with Whitfield during spring break 2012 in blustery northern California, joining Oklahoma passer Landry Jones as they trained alongside Luck, who one month later became the No. 1 NFL Draft selection.
"He spent a week with me last year, in cold, windy Palo Alto," Whitfield said, "and we did two-a-days. In his spring break."
Last spring break, Boyd went for an encore session, taking Clemson backup quarterback Chad Kelly with him to San Diego, training on the beach with USC passer Max Wittek and Cincinnati's Munchie Legaux.
"I think Tajh is the most complete quarterback in the game," Whitfield said. "Now, there's guys that have bigger home-run ability, and maybe guys with slightly better numbers. But just like Aaron Rodgers, (Tajh) forces you to defend the width and depth of the field. You have to pick your own poison playing against him."
As for Boyd's on-field adversary Saturday night, Whitfield enjoyed telling a story from Norman, Okla., when Murray tagged along while Whitfield helped Jones prepare for his NFL Pro Day.
"For Murray, I equate him to college football's Drew Brees," Whitfield said. "He's battle-tested, he's always been consistent, his teams have been better every year. Six wins, ten wins, 12 wins and five yards away."
While many of Murray's Georgia teammates were vacationing in Cancun and Puerto Rico, Murray opted to get back to work. The pain was still searing from Georgia's oh-so-close loss in the SEC Championship Game, falling five yards short of toppling national champion Alabama.
"It's the low-40s, we're starting at 7 a.m. every day, the sun's barely up," Whitfield recalled. "There's a pasture on one side of this high school field, there's a factory on the other. He was all in."
One particularly cold morning, Whitfield even said to Murray, "Man, I feel for you. I know your buddies are down there."
Murray's response: "You kidding?" He held up all his fingers on one hand, and said, "Five yards. Let's do this."
Said Whitfield, "I had all the admiration in the world for him."
Boyd and Murray have each had their detractors, but Whitfield doesn't put much stock in anyone who doubts the veteran starters. The duo has combined for 49 victories, 168 touchdown passes, nearly 20,000 yards through the air and 65 respective school records.
"It's like two grad students going against each other in chess," Whitfield said. "I don't think this environment's going to bother Aaron. I don't think Georgia's front seven's going to affect Tajh. It's really on to their defense and special teams to follow their lead and hold serve with what these two do.
"I mean, this might be the biggest single quarterback matchup of the year, and we happen to get it game one."

The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) test measures the amount of LDH in the blood.
LDH test; Lactic acid dehydrogenase test
A blood sample is needed.
Your health care provider may ask you to stop taking certain medicines that may affect the test. Medicines that can increase LDH measurements include anesthetics, aspirin, clofibrate, fluorides, mithramycin, narcotics, and procainamide. If you take any of these, tell your provider before the test is ordered.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
LDH is most often measured to check for tissue damage. The protein LDH is in many body tissues, especially the heart, liver, kidney, muscles, brain, blood cells, and lungs.
Other conditions for which the test may be done include:
Normal value range is 105 - 333 IU/L (international units per liter).
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific results.
A higher-than-normal level may indicate:
If the LDH level is raised, your doctor may order an LDH isoenzymes test to determine the location of any tissue damage.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:

BELLWOOD - Maybe not shocking, but certainly surprising.
That was Bishop Carroll Catholic's 33-19 upset win over defending champion Bellwood-Antis in the District 6 Class A football quarterfinals Saturday night at Memorial Stadium.
If the final score wasn't stunning enough, the manner in which the Huskies got there definitely was.
Article Photos
Mirror photo by Patrick Waksmunski
Bishop Carroll's Scott Holsinger gets by Bellwood-Antis' Cameron Wood after a reception Saturday night.
n Bellwood scored on its first three possessions and led 19-0 before Carroll's first touchdown with 50 seconds left in the half.
n Bellwood had the ball for only one offensive series the entire third quarter while Carroll had only two series and scored both times to tie the score at 19-all.
n Carroll had only two series in the fourth quarter, too, and also scored both times.
Trailing 19-0 with five minutes left in the first half would have been enough for most teams to consider packing it in for the rest of the night. Not Bishop Carroll, though.
"It was gut-check time," BC coach Greg Snyder said.
"We knew we could play with Bellwood," Snyder said. "We knew we were capable of doing what we do best - run the ball and throw a couple passes here and there.
"Unfortunately, for my blood pressure, we've always been a slow-starting team before we get that fire," he continued. "But, I knew they'd have trouble stopping us once we got started."
Carroll entered the game as the sixth seed with a 6-4 record. Bellwood, on the other hand, was the third seed at 8-2 and was state-ranked most of the season.
Snyder admitted his Huskies were not used to the playoff stage and were a bit unnerved early.
"We were a little shellshocked," he said. "These kids have never experienced anything like this."
Once one of the top programs in the district, the Huskies had fallen on hard times in recent years. Snyder, former coach and athletic director at Bishop Guilfoyle, took over the Carroll program last season and the Huskies won only once in 10 games.
The Huskies, however, got things rolling this season and Saturday showed how far they've come.
"We're going in the right direction," Snyder said. "The kids are buying in.
"Once we got that touchdown late in the half and almost got another, there wasn't much needed to be said at halftime," Snyder said. "We came out the second half and just took control. We run the ball, run the ball, run the ball."
Bellwood dominated early. Tanner Snyder's 1-yard run opened the scoring and Snyder scored again from the 10 in the first quarter after the Blue Devils recovered a fumble. Another Carroll fumble led to B-A's third score, a 20-yard run by Casey Gray midway through the second.
The tide starting turning after that and Brody Shuty, Carroll's slick quarterback, scored from the 6 to make it 19-6 with 50 seconds left.
It was all Carroll in the second half. The Huskies took the second-half kick and got a 23-yard TD run from Alex Repko. Then, after B-A went three-and-out, the Huskies tied the score at 19-all on Shuty's 5-yard scamper.
Carroll took the lead, 25-19, early in the fourth when Dane Woo made a leaping catch of a Shuty pass in the end zone and the Huskies iced it when Tyler Janosik scored on a 13-yard burst up the middle with 2:43 left.
"We know we have three running backs and we kept them fresh," Snyder said, noting the success of Repko, Janosik and Shuty.
Shuty was the big key, however. Forced to take over the quarterbacking duties in mid-season after injuries sidelined the team's first two QBs, Shuty has been outstanding.
"He's a very great athlete with a great mind," Snyder said, "and he's getting a lot better at quarterback."
"That drive to start the second half was big," Shuty said. "It's a great win, huge, undescribable.
"We knew what we had to do, we wanted it badly."
Bellwood coach John Hayes was disappointed.
"I said to the guys I can't ever remember that happening to us," Hayes said of Carroll's big comeback. "They played extremely well the second half and, for whatever reason, we lost the momentum.
"The quarterback [Shuty] played a great game," Hayes continued. "He beat us every time we had them in a critical situation. Great for him, but that falls on us. Some times kids lose their team discipline and they took advantage of it.
"They outplayed us the second half."
Carroll will face Homer-Center in the 6-A semis next Saturday.
"Words can't express what this win means for us, but we're not done," Snyder said. "We've got Homer-Center next."

Up until about a week ago Niagara's final regular-season road trip looked like easy pickings.
Manhattan was bad. Marist was worse. You call that a road trip? It looked more like spring break.
But one rule has held firm in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference this season: Just when you have it all figured out, rest assured you've figured out nothing.
Marist, which had lost 12 of 13, caught everybody's attention with Friday night's triple-overtime victory at Iona and validated its rebirth with Sunday's win over Loyola. Manhattan had lost eight of 10 before striking for wins in three of its next four, two of those against teams in the upper half of the conference – Rider and Canisius.
Suddenly Niagara's advantageous end to its road schedule is recast as a daunting challenge, one made all the more demanding by the uncertainty concerning leading scorer Antoine Mason's ankle sprain. He strolled through warmups against the Griffs on Sunday but, for the second straight game, never left the bench.
The upsets engineered by Marist and Manhattan are the reason Niagara, at 10-4, hits the road this week still holding a one-game advantage over 9-5 Canisius, Loyola and Iona. The Purple Eagles also have the benefit of knowing something has to give among its closest pursuers. Canisius plays at Loyola Friday night and Loyola has to visit Iona on March 1.
Coach Joe Mihalich made a point of saying that despite its slide Niagara remains the envy of the conference. Everyone else would gladly trade places with the Purple Eagles heading down the stretch. Only Niagara has total control over who finishes first and secures the guaranteed NIT bid that goes with winning the conference.
First up is a Marist team that has been transformed. It happens a lot at the mid-major level. Big men who look like they've plateaued in terms of their development suddenly blossom late in their junior year. Adam Kemp, the Red Foxes' 6-foot-10 center, has been that guy.
Kemp had shown fleeting signs of latent ability during the course of the season. He scored in double figures nine times but never went for more than 14. Then somebody flipped the switch. In the two games against Iona and Loyola, Kemp totaled 52 points, 29 rebounds and nine blocks while shooting 17 of 24 from the field. It was as if Rik Smits reappeared in Marist red.
"Let's give credit where credit's due; Kemp played a monstrous game," said Loyola coach Jimmy Patsos.
Free throws also killed Loyola in that 69-64 defeat. The Greyhounds went 12 of 26 from the stripe and just 7 of 17 in the second half.
"Anytime you go 12 of 26 from the free-throw line on the road, you're not going to be successful," Patsos said.
Manhattan might well be in the title mix if not for the injury that ended the season of star guard George Beamon after just four games. The Jaspers (6-7) tried to offset the loss by playing some of the MAAC's better defense and are breaking through now that they're managing an offensive flow. They'll be one of those underlying tough outs in the MAAC Tournament,
Niagara is at Marist on Friday night and completes the trip at Manhattan on Sunday.
Back to back
BN Big 4 Player of the Week: Canisius guard Billy Baron wrapped up the honor for a second straight week when he went into the Gallagher Center on Sunday and blistered Niagara for a career-high 33 points. In two games that included the road loss at Manhattan, Baron averaged 23.5 points and went 14 of 15 from the free-throw line.
The question is whether the Griffs can make a serious postseason run while continuing to exclude the low post from the offense. Starting big men Jordan Heath and Chris Manhertz had eight field goals last week, four of them off offensive rebounds. The others came off assists from Harold Washington (twice), Alshwan Hymes and Reggie Groves. In other words, in two games Baron – the primary ball-handler – didn't have a single assist on baskets by the Griffs' starting big men.
On the flip side, the Griffs now lead the country in three-pointers made (237) and treys per game (9.5).
Canisius beat Loyola, 91-79, on Jan. 31. The Griffs conclude their final MAAC road swing Saturday at Saint Peter's (3-11). They'll play the Peacocks again on Feb. 28.
Philadelphia story
An NIT team a year ago, La Salle is thinking NCAA berth after a 16-6 start that includes victories over the Atlantic 10's celebrated newcomers, Butler and VCU. The Explorers, who will visit the Reilly Center on Wednesday night, are tied for fourth in the A-10 at 6-3 and one game outside the three-way tie for first among Butler, VCU and Saint Louis.
Key for the Explorers has been the play of guard Tyrone Garland, a Virginia Tech transfer and Philly native who became eligible in mid-December. He's third on the team in scoring at 12.4 points.
Bona (11-11, 4-5) is coming off a 67-61 win at Rhode Island fueled by Eric Mosley's career-high 21 points. Bona finishes up the week at Richmond (14-10, 4-5) on Saturday.
All dressed up ...
... and nowhere to go. That sums up the plight of the Toledo Rockets, who are tied for first in the Mid-American Conference West at 7-3 but are ineligible for postseason play (and the MAC Tournament) because of academic probation. Still, the Rockets have one of the league's premier talents in 6-4 guard Rian Pearson (18.6 ppg, 6.6 rpg) and will look to extend a five-game winning streak Wednesday night at UB's Alumni Arena. Pearson had 26 points and eight boards in UB's 72-65 win over the Rockets last season.
They all count for the Bulls (9-15, 4-6). With Toledo extracted from the mix, UB's in a three-way tie for fifth in the overall MAC standings with the top five finishers receiving byes into the Cleveland portion of the conference tourney.
UB concludes the week Saturday at Miami, which is last in the East at 3-7 but scored a 58-57 win over the Bulls on Jan. 12.

Radnor is a wealthy township located on the Main Line (suburb of Philly). They are currently constructing a new middle school in the town of Wayne. Our highschool is great and its plays are fabulous. Last year they did West Side Story. Our three elementary schools consist of Ithan Elementary(the original), Wayne Elementary(the second), and Radnor Elementary(the newest built in 2001).
They shop at Abercrombie, American Eagle, Hollister, Smith Bros, and more.

The bladder is a hollow organ in the lower part of the abdomen . It is shaped like a small balloon and has a muscular wall that allows it to get larger or smaller. The bladder stores urine until it is passed out of the body. Urine is the liquid waste that is made by the kidneys when they clean the blood . The urine passes from the two kidneys into the bladder through two tubes called ureters . When the bladder is emptied during urination, the urine goes from the bladder to the outside of the body through another tube called the urethra .
Bladder cancer accounts for approximately 70,000 new cases of cancer per year with approximately 15,000 deaths each year attributable to the disease. There are three types of bladder cancer that begin in cells in the lining of the bladder. These cancers are named for the type of cells that become malignant (cancerous):
Cancer that is confined to the lining of the bladder is called superficial bladder cancer. Cancer that begins in the transitional cells may spread through the lining of the bladder and invade the muscle wall of the bladder or spread to nearby organs and lymph nodes ; this is called invasive bladder cancer. Fortunately, two-thirds of the newly diagnosed bladder cancers occur only on the lining of the bladder (superficial bladder cancer) and can be treated effectively by the urologic surgeons at The University of Kansas Hospital.
Blood in the urine (called hematuria) is usually the first sign of bladder cancer. Other symptoms which may not be recognized initially include the need to urinate frequently both day and night, and the inability to hold the urine once the urge to urinate occurs. A simple test called cystoscopy, performed in the clinics at KU can usually diagnose the cancer. Our physicians are experts in the diagnosis of bladder cancer as well as its treatment. In addition, they employ a number of methods to keep those with superficial bladder cancer from recurring.
For those patients in whom the cancer is invasive (into the muscle wall of the bladder) surgery to remove the entire bladder (cystectomy) is often needed. The urologic oncologists at KU will employ options to preserve the bladder when possible (bladder sparing), however if removal is needed they have one of the nation's largest experiences.
For patients whose bladder must be removed surgeons must create a new way for the body to store and empty urine. The urologic oncologists at KU are well versed in the different urinary diversion options. One such option performed by our urologists is the construction of a "new" bladder using intestine called a neobladder. This allows patients to urinate in a normal fashion. The Department of Urology at KU has had good success with these reconstructive techniques since their inception.
Unfortunately, some patients will have bladder cancer that has spread beyond the bladder (to the lungs, liver or bones) prior to surgery or after the removal of the bladder. Dr. Peter Vanveldhuizen, is a medical oncologist who specializes in the treatment of urologic malignancies and has a vast experience in the treatment of metastatic bladder cancer. Working closely with the urologic oncologists at KU, Dr. Vanveldhuizen provides the latest and most advanced chemotherapy for the treatment of bladder cancer.
Smoking is the most common cause of bladder cancer. It is rare that patients who are not smokers develop bladder cancer. It takes 20 years of not smoking before the risk begins to decrease. However, patients who continue to smoke after being diagnosed with bladder cancer do much more poorly than those who quit. So quitting smoking is an essential part of being treated for bladder cancer. Your physician has many ways to assist you with this.
Being exposed to certain substances at work, such as rubber, certain dyes and textiles, paint, and hairdressing supplies. Chronic irritation of the bladder from infection or long term catheterization
The stage of the cancer (whether it is superficial or invasive bladder cancer, and whether it has spread to other places in the body). Bladder cancer in the early stages can often be cured.
The type of bladder cancer cells and how they look under a microscope, we call this the Grade of the cancer. Typically bladder cancers are referred to as High Grade or Low Grade. Most invasive bladder cancer's are High Grade.
The patient's age and general health.
Your stage of bladder cancer is determined by several tests.
Stage 0 (Papillary Carcinoma and Carcinoma in Situ) In stage 0, abnormal cells are found in tissue lining the inside of the bladder . These abnormal cells may become cancer and spread into nearby normal tissue. Stage 0 is divided into stage 0a and stage 0is, depending on the type of the tumor:
Stage I: In stage I , cancer has formed and spread to the layer of tissue under the inner lining of the bladder .
Stage II: In stage II , cancer has spread to either the inner half or outer half of the muscle wall of the bladder .
Stage III: In stage III , cancer has spread from the bladder to the fatty layer of tissue surrounding it and may have spread to the reproductive organs ( prostate , seminal vesicles , uterus , or vagina).
Stage IV: In stage IV , cancer has spread from the bladder to the wall of the abdomen or pelvis . Cancer may have spread to one or more lymph nodes or to other parts of the body.
One of the following types of surgery may be done:
An ileal conduit is a piece of small intestine (ileum) that is harvested from your own intestinal tract. It is usually about 12cm in length. The remaining bowel is reconnected at the time of surgery so that stool continues normally. Most patients have no side effects from the removal of 12cm of small intestine, although rarely some patients may have chronic diarrhea. This can be treated and should be brought to the attention of your doctor.
The small piece of intestine is connected to the ureters (the tubes from the kidneys through which the urine drains). This connection is inside the abdomen. The other end of the intestine is brought up to the surface of the skin as a stoma.
A stoma is a small piece of intestine open in the middle allowing urine to flow out of the body into a bag which fits around the stoma.
Even if the doctor removes all the cancer that can be seen at the time of the surgery, some patients may be given chemotherapy after surgery to kill any cancer cells that are left. Treatment given after surgery, to lower the risk that the cancer will come back, is called adjuvant therapy . This is determined after surgery by the results of the pathology. Typically adjuvant chemotherapy is used when the cancer has grown into the fatty tissue around the bladder (Stage III) or has spread to the lymph nodes (Stage IV).
Dr. Jeffrey Holzbeierlein , a national expert, and Dr. Moben Mirza are fellowship trained urologic oncologists with expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer. These University of Kansas Urologic cancer surgeons are now performing many bladder cancer surgeries robotically. With the recent advancements in robotic technology, our urologists are now performing this complex operation with the aid of the DaVinci robot. This allows greater visualization and less blood loss. In addition, we hope that this may lead to a quicker recovery and time to return to normal activities. The University of Kansas urologists perform more bladder removal surgeries than any other urologist or institution in the Kansas City area and continues to examine ways to decrease the side effects associated with this procedure.
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing. Radiation treatments by themselves are not usually effective in getting rid of the cancer and thus are usually combined with chemotherapy (given through an IV). Most studies suggest that this approach is inferior to surgical removal of the bladder, but does have the advantage of "sparing" the bladder.
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. For invasive bladder cancer, the chemotherapy is given through the vein (intravenously) and is referred to as systemic chemotherapy. The most common type of chemotherapy for bladder cancer is gemcitabine (Gemzaar) and cisplatin. Chemotherapy is sometimes given prior to bladder removal (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) this is typically done when the doctor feels that the cancer is not confined to the bladder. Sometimes chemotherapy is given after bladder removal (adjuvant chemotherapy) when the pathology determines that cancer cells have grown into the fatty tissue around the bladder, into the prostate, or into the lymph nodes. Lastly, chemotherapy may be given if after surgery the cancer returns in another part of the body (salvage chemotherapy).
Some of the tests that were done to diagnose the cancer or to find out the stage of the cancer may be repeated. Your doctor will usually want a CT scan within one month of a bladder removal surgery. If you are to receive chemotherapy first or are receiving chemotherapy and radiation some tests will be repeated in order to see how well the treatment is working (CT scan and cystoscopy). Decisions about whether to continue, change, or stop treatment may be based on the results of these tests. This is sometimes called re-staging.
After bladder cancer surgery some of the tests will continue to be done from time to time after treatment has ended. The results of these tests can show if your condition has changed or if the cancer has recurred (come back). These tests are sometimes called follow-up tests or check-ups. The frequency of these tests depends upon the stage and grade of your tumor.
In addition, your doctor will ask you to see an anesthesiologist prior to surgery. The anesthesiologist is the doctor in charge of putting you to sleep for the surgery and will need to evaluate you before surgery. Your doctor may also ask you to see a cardiologist (heart specialist) prior to surgery based on your other health problems or your age. A pulmonologist may also be needed before surgery if you have lung problems such as asthma, emphysema or COPD.
The primary purpose of a radical cystectomy is to cure the cancer by completely removing organs that have cancer cells or nearby organs where cancer cells are likely to grow. Your surgeon will then use part of your intestine to either make a new bladder (called a neobladder) or an ileal conduit. In doing these surgeries, you surgeon will preserve as much of your normal function as possible. Typically, in men the prostate is removed because of the chance (25%) of bladder cancer involving the prostate. Similarly in women the uterus, ovaries, and sometimes part of the vagina is removed in order to remove all of the cancer. The removal of these other organs can be associated with sexual side effects, such as the loss of erections in men or decreased sensitivity in women.
The type of urinary diversion will be up to you and your doctor to decide. The neobladder has the advantage of having no bags or appliances that fit to the body and represents the most "normal" reconstruction. However, it takes some retraining during which time you will experience leakage of urine. In addition, you will be required to catheterize the new bladder for the first month after all catheters are removed. The ilea conduit has the advantage of being the simplest to take care of but does require the changing of bags attached to the skin for the rest of your life. However, both options will allow you to participate in essentially any activity you wish to including swimming.
Most people have serious concerns about possible side effects and life changes after this surgery. Remember doctors and researchers are still learning about the treatment of bladder cancer. Talk with your surgeon any time you have concerns or questions.
For patients with bladder cancer who require a cystectomy (bladder removal) and need to review post op care from surgery - please see the patient support section of our website

I've still got so much to tell you about the Babywearing Conference I attended back in June! I learned a lot and collected some of your great questions and plan to answer every single one very soon. Feel free to ask more in the meantime, if you'd like, and I promise to do the best I can to answer every single one!
Don't forget about the awesome Babywearing Bloggers Blogroll listing all the babywearing bloggers out there. Also, the Baby Sling Blog has a little contest going on if you'd like to share your babywearing pics by the water.
Speaking of water, many people have asked if I am planning a water birth. I am not. I actually might labor in the bathtub if I wish (and I've done this before going to the hospital with my other births) but I imagine that I will also be moving around and the baby will most likely be born in our bedroom or wherever I might be in my house at that very special time!
And, um, that time is coming so soon!

West Virginia's northernmost voters chose to send both their representatives in the House of Delegates back to Charleston, electing incumbents Randy Swartzmiller and Ronnie Jones to additional two-year terms representing the 1st District.
With their victories Tuesday, Swartzmiller earned a seventh consecutive term, while freshman delegate Jones - also a Weirton city councilman - earned a second. Both are Democrats.
Swartzmiller and Jones fought off challenges from Weirton Republicans Carl Thompson, a 43-year-old truck driver and former steelworker, and Justin Bull, a 29-year-old firefighter and paramedic. Both have sought elected office unsuccessfully in the past - Thompson in 1998 ran for Brooke County Commission, while Bull made a bid for a seat on Weirton City Council last year.

Ronnie Jones
Swartzmiller led the slate of candidates by a wide margin with 8,987 votes, followed by Jones's 7,073, Thompson's 5,085 and Bull's 3,617.
Both victors thanked voters for giving them another chance to represent them.
Swartzmiller, 52, first won election as a delegate in 2000. He lives in Chester and is employed in the petroleum industry. He touts the Legislature's current agenda of fiscal responsibility, and remains an outspoken advocate for freeing up vacant property belonging to businesses that have downsized or left the area for redevelopment.
Swartzmiller said West Virginia is "on the right track" and legislators must remain focused on maintaining a sound budget and trying to continue to lower taxes. He said he will continue to work with everyone in state government to make that happen.
"I've never thrown out an idea just because it belongs to someone else or the opposite party," he said.
Jones, 58, was elected to his first term in an extraordinarily tight contest, with a margin of victory of only about 40 votes. He didn't know for sure he'd won until the official vote canvass a week after election night, and said Tuesday he didn't mind doing without the suspense this time around.
Jones said he and Swartzmiller "work well together." He said the biggest issue facing the area continues to be jobs.
"We can't create jobs ... but we can try to make sure the infrastructure's in place so we can bring more business in," said Jones.

13 Must-Haves for Your Next Photo Shoot
In order to take amazing photos, there are some things you will need in addition to your camera and memory card. But there are also some items you will need in case things go awry. Going out to shoot while ill-equipped can result in disappointment and wasted opportunities. So, here are some suggestions to help you make the most of your time in the field:
Extra Batteries
It may seem obvious, but, remarkably, a spare battery is often overlooked by the budding photographer. And yet it quickly becomes seen as a life-saver and conceivably impossible to live without. However, it is possible to find a back-up battery for cheap by forgetting about brand names. With the model number of the battery that came with your camera on hand, research online to find out which backup battery is best via consumer reviews. Likely, you can find a suitable alternative for half the cost of a brand name equivalent.
Extra Memory Cards
Consistently, when you run out of room on your memory card, you will see the best shot of the day. Sometimes this sends you frantically scanning through your shots, looking for ones you can part with. And, really, can you even judge them properly on the little LCD screen? This frustration is highly avoidable. Always carrying an extra memory card or two will save you from having to make the tough choices out in the field.
External Hard Drive
Digital SLRs go hand in hand with large file types, particularly if you are shooting in the RAW or in (beautiful) high-resolution. Frankly, you're going to need the space of an external hard drive. Beautiful photos take up lots of space. Investing in an external hard drive will save you from slowing down your computer and possibly having to face parting with shots when you're trying to make space down the road. Once that's set up, make sure you establish a system for organizing and cataloguing your images immediately. Being organized from the start will allow you to work faster and think clearer all the way through your post-processing.
UV Filter
Somewhere between filtering out ultraviolet light and simply protecting the lens from scratches, dust, and dirt, many professional photographers swear by their UV filters. Often it is no more complicated than the simple fact that a scratched UV filter is much cheaper to replace than a scratched lens.
Polarizing Filter
For outdoor photography, packing this filter removes many lighting and weather-related restrictions. This helps to cut glare from the sun and off reflections and assists in increasing color saturation.
Cleaning Kit
You will exponentially increase the lifespan of your gear by keeping it clean. Keep on hand a microfiber lens cloth for wiping smudges, like fingerprints, off your lens before shooting and keeping your LCD screen clear. (Or, for precise lens cleaning, consider a lens pen.) Also, when wiping isn't the answer, you'll want to have a dust-blower for blowing off dust and dirt.
Camera Case
A good bag is necessary to both protect your camera and to offer you convenience as you cart around the rest of your gear. The best choice is one that is water-resistant and contains lots of padding and protection. It should be sturdy and have plenty of pockets and compartments for your bits and pieces.
Whether a heavy duty professional variety or a make-shift homemade version – the tripod is hard to live without. It's essential in situations when capturing neat, focused photos, long exposures, portraits (particularly self-), or when shooting in low lighting. The best tripod is going to be light, tall, and durable. In a pinch, a mini tripod will get the job done and will fold up and fit nicely into your camera bag.
In the Field
Rain Gear
Outside of the annoyance of getting nice and drenched, your camera needs protection from water. Always keep a rain sleeve, plastic bags, and rubber bands to keep your gear dry in your bag. In a pinch, even a shower cap can work. These simple precautions will allow you to keep shooting, even when the clouds open up.
It can be a good idea to invest in a bag lock. You never know where you'll have to put down your camera bag and who might be lurking about, looking for an opportunity to make off with your expensive bits and pieces.
Pen and Notebook
There is nothing more frustrating than having nowhere to note down the details you know you'll forget. Whether an idea for a shot, notes about location or subjects, recording your settings or anything else that comes up, you'll be glad you kept a small notebook and pen nearby.
As the light goes down low, you'll find a flashlight not only useful for finding that tool you really need, buried in the bottom of your bag, but also for creating neat lighting effects and patterns in your shots. Experiment! Also, the practical insider will tell you the value of a little LED headlamp for hands-free configuring of your camera controls.
An acrylic mirror is lightweight and cheap, and will serve as a super handy reflector for deep shadows, portraits, or outdoor shots. This simple tool opens up all kinds of shooting possibilities!

Can you define these popular missing words?

other than meaning skeet.. gasolina is also a term for "the street(s)" meaning that you like to go out.. Defined by Daddy Yankee himself in an interview for Premio Lo Nuestro...

Gasolina- Spanish word for gasoline. Gasolina is a ready made cocktail from Puerto Rico. It's made with rum, tequila, and fruit juice. 11% alcohol 200ml and comes in a pouch that looks like a Capri Sun (straw and all). In the states you can drink it in front of the POPO.
When I drink and drive. I drink GASOLINA.

The puertorican slang as used in the song by Daddy Yankee has always meant that you like to "cruise" or go out on the streets in a car, or other motorized vehicle.
In my experience, it was never used to represent semen/sperm/ejaculation.

Slang example - "A ella le gusta la gasolina"
Direct translation - "She likes fuel"
Actual interpretation - "She likes to roll/cruise" or "hit the streets"

COPLEY - For Seneca East starting pitcher Mason McWilliams, it wasn't a bad game or even a bad inning.
It was one pitch.
McWilliams, one of the area's best starting pitchers, sailed through a pair of scoreless innings to start Seneca East's regional semifinal game against New Middletown Springfield (19-7), striking out three and not allowing a hit.
Article Photos
Seneca East (23-5) fared no better against Springfield starter Dalton Donachie, and it looked like a pitchers' duel was in the offing.
But in the third, things changed. Joey Wrask's one-out grand slam gave Springfield the lead, and it went on to shut out Seneca East, 6-0.
Springfield's JoJo Carabello laid down a bunt single to start the inning, then moved to second on a sacrifice. McWilliams then hit Ryan Kohler and walked Cody Pitzo to load the bases.
That brought up Wrask. He pulled a McWilliams pitch over the wall in left. It was Wrask's first homer of the season, and just the fourth for Springfield this year.
"We don't really hit a lot of home runs; let's be honest," Springfield coach Matt Weymer said. "With the wind today, he got every bit of it, so good for him."
McWilliams allowed another run in the inning, and SE trailed 5-0 going to the fourth.
"One pitch. That's all it was; one pitch," Seneca East coach Frank Lamoreaux said. "That's two pretty good pitchers going at each other right there."
Seneca East had runners on in every inning but one, but Donachie (7-1) worked out of every threat without damage. It wasn't that he overpowered SE hitters - he had but four strikeouts - but Seneca East wasn't hitting the ball hard. The best contact came from Jordan Bowerman, who lined a Donachie pitch to left center with two outs in the fifth for SE's only hit.
"I think our bats were a little - to say off is going to be an understatement," Lamoreaux said. "We put the ball in play but we just didn't put the ball in play with any authority."
Weymer said Donachie, just a sophomore, has pitched big games before, but this was one of the best.
"When it came down to it, he didn't let the moment get to him," Weymer said. "I looked in the book, (Seneca East) only had one hit, I think? They seemed like they had a lot of guys on base, and it's not just a credit to him but our defense."
McWilliams recovered from the third well. He ended up going a complete-game six innings, striking out eight and allowing just three hits.
"I'll tell you what, Mason is by far the best pitcher we've seen," Weymer said. "He's fantastic."
Springfield scratched out a run in the sixth. Then in the seventh, Donachie retired the first two batters.
Seneca East's last hope was Nate Phillips. Donachie jumped ahead 0-and-2, but Phillips fouled off numerous pitches and worked the count full before walking. Donachie then hit Bowerman before Gus Baldosser hit into a force play to end the game.
To Lamoreaux, Phillips' at-bat summed up his squad.
"It's that don't give up, don't ever say die attitude," Lamoreaux said. "They kept it through the end, so I was pretty proud of the for that."
Springfield takes on Cuyahoga Heights at 5 p.m. today in the regional final.

Thomas Reese, 77, and Barbara Reese, 84, of Forestay Court, both died of gunshot wounds, Deputy Coroner Dottie Lindsay said.
Deputies were dispatched to 78 Forestay Court shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday after a 911 call concerning a murder-suicide, Sheriff's Maj. Jim Brady said.
Deputies entered through the home's unlocked front door and found the couple lying in separate beds next to each other with gunshot wounds to the head, according to the incident report.
A revolver was found lying on Thomas Reese's chest.
Thomas Reese was concerned about his wife's quality of life if he died from his medical condition, deputies said.

2010 Roth IRA Conversion Rules
|Email Print
A year ago, when I met with my accountant, we spent some time talking about our retirement, our goals, and how we were going to reach them. In looking at our retirement accounts, I saw that the vast majority of our savings were in tax-deferred accounts like 401(k)s and Rollover IRAs. We only had a very small percentage in tax-free Roth IRA accounts, which I've always said was probably the best retirement account in existence. Where else can you invest in the stock market and have your gains be entirely tax free? Nowhere. 🙂
Right now, you can convert a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA as long as your adjusted gross income is under $100,000. The $100,000 limit applies whether you are single or married, tax filing classification wise, which makes it one of the few limits that is the same for both. So if your AGI is under $100,000, then you can convert today and you don't have to wait for 2010.
Do You Want To Do This?
Before we get into the mechanics and the rules, you have to ask yourself whether you want to do this. The benefit of converting is that your assets can now grow tax free. With a typical Roth IRA, you don't deduct the contributions from your taxes so you gain no immediate tax benefit. The tax benefit comes on the tail end when distributions from that Roth IRA are tax free. With a traditional IRA, you gain an immediate tax benefit because you can deduct your contributions but distributions are taxed many years later as ordinary income.
We have two major decisions during the conversion process:
- Tax diversification: Since we won't know the tax rates, or how tax will be collected (more income taxes? more sales taxes? VAT?), it's difficult to say which type of account is better. The basic decision is that if you think your tax bracket will be higher when you draw from the account, then you want a Roth IRA. I'm of the belief that you should diversify between tax benefits today and tax benefits tomorrow, so I want to convert a few of my accounts over so I get a more even mix.
- Paying the tax today: When you convert a Traditional to a Roth, you have to pay taxes on that conversion. I'll go into greater detail on this but the gist is that you will need to claim the conversion amount as ordinary income and pay taxes on it. There are opportunities to defer on a limited basis but you still have to come up with the funds somehow.
Now that we have a good idea of the big decision points, let's get into the mechanics.
$100,000 AGI Rule Removed
2010 is such a big deal because the $100,000 AGI rule is lifted, making a conversion possible for many dual-income families. According to the Journal of Financial Planning, it's believed that more that 13 million people will become eligible for a Roth conversion when the limit is lifted.
Conversion Tax Rules & Implications
When you claim the ordinary income and pay taxes: Normally, when you make a conversion, you must claim the conversion amount as income the following year. If you convert in 2009, it is considered ordinary income for 2009 and taxes are due April 15th, 2010. However, there's a special rule for conversions made in 2010, you can opt to recognize half the conversion amount as ordinary income in 2011 and the other half in 2012 (or recognize it in 2010). This special rule is only for conversions in 2010. If you convert in 2011 and beyond, the normal rules apply.
Experts advise that you should only convert if you can pay the taxes with other funds.. You also have the option of paying for the taxes from the account itself but every expert I've read recommends against that. If you want your money to grow tax-free, it's best to maximize how much it can grow. If you're planning on making a conversion, start saving for the taxes today.
Recognizing the conversion amount as ordinary income can cause problems. This is an issue many people overlook. When you convert, you have to recognize the conversion amount as ordinary income. This can have a significant effect on your finances. You may become ineligible for certain deductions or credits because of their income phase-out requirements so be sure to take this into account.
Non-Deductible Traditional IRA Loophole
One big consequence of lifting the AGI limit is that it creates a loophole for high income earners shut out of the Roth IRA. In general, if your employer offers a 401(k) or other defined contribution plan, you can't deduct your contributions to a Traditional IRA. If you also earn too much, then you can't contribute to a Roth IRA – leaving you with one less valuable option: a nondeductible Traditional IRA. It's less valuable because you don't get to deduct your contributions and your growth is taxed when you withdraw the funds in retirement. (Thanks Dan!)
In 2010, with the $100,000 AGI limit removed, you will be able to convert a nondeductible Traditional IRA into a Roth IRA without paying a penny. Since you've already paid the taxes, you won't have to pay them again to convert it into a Roth. This loophole lets high earners "contribute" to a Roth IRA.
The one thing you have to look out for, which my accountant warned, was that you need to segregate your nondeductible Traditional IRA from your other IRAs. If you make a nondeductible contribution into a regular Traditional IRA, where you've taken deductions, then it muddies the water and causes issues. So if you want to use this tactic, make sure it's segregated into its own account. It just makes everything easier for you down the road.
How to Convert
While it's called a conversion, you're actually rolling it over from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. The process will be similar to when you rollover any type of account, such as a 401(k) to a Rollover IRA. Since you would usually roll the assets over without changing brokers, the process may be as simple as filling out a form. Your best option is to contact your broker and find out what you need to do.
I believe I covered all of the rules and tried to give you a little insight into how I'm making the decision. The hardest part about all this is that the future is unclear. If there's something I'm missing, let me know and I'll add it to the post.

A number of U.S. universities expressed interest in plans for a "music tax," where students would pay a flat fee as part of their tuition in return for the promise of no lawsuits from the RIAA.
The plan, spearheaded by Warner Music's Jim Griffin, would essentially free up copyright enforcement resources in place at the RIAA and universities in favor of a "blanket license" of sorts – even though the actual language of the plan simply grants a promise not to sue.
Money collected will be dispersed to artists through a means that has yet to be determined.
Griffin, a long-time cheerleader of "music surcharge" proposals, says the plan is still in its early stages. Despite that, however, he tells TechDirt that he is "actively engaged with universities and other parties to seek a constructive resolution to a complex issue," and that his plan is "exactly the type of solution that several universities and their associations have been asking for."
The anonymous tipster reports that interested schools include Columbia, Stanford, University of Chicago, University of Washington, MIT, University of Colorado, University of Michigan, Cornell, Penn State, University of California at Berkeley and the University of Virginia. Further supporting his claims is a PowerPoint presentation pitched to universities and signed by Mark Luker of EDUCAUSE .
The presentation, which Griffin says "belongs to someone outside [Warner Music] and represents that individual's interpretation of… meetings held several months ago," says the plan is designed to:
TechDirt notes that the idea is an adaptation of a larger surcharge suggested for all U.S. ISPs, where they would simply "add an additional fee to everyone's internet access, have that money go into a pool that the recording industry would be responsible for paying out."
"This is a bad idea for a variety of reasons," writes TechDirt's Mike Massnick. "It's basically a music tax – allowing the record industry to be lazy. Someone else gets to go out and collect all this money and hand it over to the industry to distribute … It effectively sets the business model of the recording industry in stone, and harms better, more innovative business models by inserting the recording industry (and not the musicians) into a role where they don't belong."
"We recognize that there are many different potential solutions to this issue, and we are determined to continue to think creatively and cooperatively with other parties in order to find the best ones," replies Griffin. "At this early stage, many ideas may be discussed and discarded, but efforts to prematurely label or criticize the process only hinder achievement of constructive solutions."
quote: Extortion, outwresting, or exaction is a criminal offense, which occurs, when a person unlawfully obtains either money, property or services from a person, entity, or institution, through coercion. Refraining from doing harm is sometimes euphemistically called protection. Extortion is commonly practiced by organized crime groups. The actual obtainment of money or property is not required to commit the offense. Making a threat of violence or a lawsuit which refers to a requirement of a payment of money or property to halt future violence or lawsuit is sufficient to commit the offense. Exaction refers not only to extortion or the unlawful demanding and obtaining of something through force,[1] additionally, exact in its formal definition means the infliction of something such as pain and suffering or to make somebody endure something unpleasant.
quote: Making students pay for a service they don't want. Nice. Just shows how in touch they are with their target demographics.
quote: I also find it funny you say they don't know their target demographic, as they obviously know exactly what their target demographic is, teens and young adults who download more music illegally than anyone else.

When it comes to the closing of Cirino's of Nevada City, get informed. Obama passed a law that 30 hours is now "full-time," making it impossible for an employee to pay for health benefits.
You voted for a man who has taken money out of everyone's check, not just the rich, and medical costs have gone up for all of us to pay for all the free hand-outs that has no end.
This is why I've hesitated to go into business again. Don't blame the man who signs your paychecks.

Competition and Consumer Protection: A Behavioral Economics Account
Oren Bar-Gill
Harvard Law School
December 19, 2011
SWEDISH COMPETITION AUTHORITY, THE PROS AND CONS OF CONSUMER PROTECTION, Forthcoming
NYU Law and Economics Research Paper No. 11-42
Do the benefits of competition extend to a world with imperfectly rational consumers? I argue that sellers, operating in a competitive market, will design their products, contracts and pricing schemes in response to consumer misconception, resulting in both efficiency losses and harm to consumers. Under certain conditions, competition provides incentives for sellers to educate consumers and reduce misconception, but these mistake-correction forces are limited. The existence of biased demand, generated by imperfectly rational consumers, creates a market failure – a behavioral market failure. Mandated disclosure, deliberately designed for imperfectly rational consumers, or for sophisticated intermediaries that advise imperfectly rational consumers, can help.

Alas it seems a sequel is unlikely, but the reason may surprise you.
"When Coming to America came out it was a bunch of lawsuits,"Murphy revealed on The Arsenio Hall Show Tuesday night while discussing the milestone anniversary with Hall, who played Akeem's sidekick Semmi.
"There was some dude who was claiming he was the prince. I'd be out in the club and this African dude would roll up and say, 'I am the real prince! You stole my life from me! And I want my money! I'll kill you!' "
The bright side? Murphy and Hall have hardly aged over the past quarter-century ... as they point out themselves.
"We still kind of look the same too," Murphy observes.
"A little bit," Hall modestly agrees.
"Most people, you cut to 25 years later, they'd be like, ooh lord," says Murphy. "Sometimes they have to tell you who they are."
