It's amazing this page to download they ask you to register quires quando i download the mod i go to boot i removed it's all in English in fima mods that are cool but are rather muskets or rifles the guys are so imbesiles intregrales buds to please give him screw up megusta for the bean of this page know my comentaryo.
You say that the major Nations that made revolutionary wars on the continent were two Argentina and Venezuela with san Martín in Argentina libero to chile and Peru, and Bolivar the rest
Peru was quite important too
this has been moved to the revolutionary war of south america only Chile, Mexico, Colombia, and Peru pretty much fought in the timeframe we are thinking of. the other countries may have fought but didnt have as much of a role as these.
Plus is this mod dead ?
Argentina was a very important country in the south american revolution
Hermano, no tengo nada en contra de Chile, pero Chile estaba devastada por los Realistas, fue San Martin quien los libero
Are you kidding? the ones that had the most imporance independence wars ere the ones in argentina, chile and peru!
What? I am Argentino (Agentine/Argentinian) and the most Important countries where "Venezuela" and "Argentina"=Provincias Unidas del Rio de la Plata/Virreinato de la Plata, the brothers of Chile and Peru were freed by Jose de San Martin. While Simon Bolivar released the north of South America.

I'm a happy Sri Lankan living in the West Loop with my wonderful hubby, Josh. I love to travel, cook, and plan small parties for our friends and family.
Dilhara has completed online and offline ID verification.

Wonderful place to stay! Very clean, very good bed. Description is exactly what you get. Location is very well connected with public transportion. Dilhara is a absolutely perfect host!
Dilhara & Josh were the nicest people. Their home is clean and modern. We like to explore on foot and their condo is well situated for that. Just a few blocks from the heart of the city. Many nearby eateries to select from as well. We stayed with the Anbils for a week and they made us feel comfortable from the start. Even the staff people working the ground-floor desk were great. Access to the top of the building is another big plus. The skyline view in the evening should not be missed. If we ever have the good fortune to visit Chicago again, we would definitely seek accommodations with Josh & Dilhara.
I booked the room weeks ago after numerous email exchanges which were very pleasant. Then, suddenly with 43 days left before my arrival Dihara contacted me to say she and her husband decided to be out of town for the last two days of my stay, so the reservation would be in part cancelled. Dilhara gave me the option of canceling entirely or staying at her place for a portion of the trip and then getting another place for the last two days. I decided to keep my options open to look for a complete alternative place to stay or a place for the last two days only. We agreed I would have two weeks to decide. Then 48 hours later I received notice from airbnb that Dilhara canceled my entire stay.
This is an excellent place to stay. I used the Anbil's condo for three nights while on business in Chicago and saved my company over $300+ relative to what a downtown hotel would have cost. Downtown amenities are in pleasant walking distance, especially the great food down the street in Greek Town. Dilhara & Josh are gracious hosts. I highly recommend them.
Dilhara and Josh were great! The room had a nice view and the amenities were appreciated. I would stay with them again!
Josh and Dilhara are fabulous hosts, super friendly with a great sense of humour, and their knowledge of the Chicago area is superb. Definitely take advantage of their recommendations. I even had the pleasure of meeting Josh's parents and catching up on the Cricket events of the day. The room is comfortable and clean, and the with a separate bathroom. And the location is superb - a quick bus ride away from the Millenium Park. What more can I say that others haven't already said? Believe everything you read.
We loved staying with Dilhara and her husband. She was extremly kind and helpful. If she would have made us a cup of coffee we would have given her 5 stars!
thank's a lot
The quick overnight stay at Dilhara Anbil condo was perfect... location, friendly host with no complication!
To sum it up: Dilhara is a great person. We loved to stay with her and her husband Josh. The apt. has everything you need. The roof deck was awesome as well as the doorman made us feel safe.
We would love to stay with Dilhara and her husband again.
Our stay at Dilhara and Josh was perfect, we had a great time there. Both are very nice hosts and we can only recommend a stay in their flat. If we ever come back to Chicago we would stay there again.
Dilhara & Josh are a wonderful couple and has been more than hospitable during our stay. They are both professionals and keep a beautiful home in the heart of Chicago. We had a wonderful July 4th weekend and the view of fireworks from the balcony was spectacular. Dilhara made us a fab breakfast and a sumptuous fruit smoothy! Yummmy!!!

Carlos Gomez homers, gets ejected, never touches home plate
Sep 25, 2013, 7:40 PM EDT
The fireworks started early at the Brewers-Braves game in Atlanta on Wednesday, with a Carlos Gomez homer off Paul Maholm in the top of the first leading to a benches-clearing incident.
Gomez and Maholm had a history, with Gomez batting .424 with two HBPs in 21 career plate appearances against the lefty. After his long homer tonight, he paused and watched, then started jawing with Maholm as he finally decided to start his trot. The conversation continued with Freddie Freeman as he rounded first, and as he turned third, he found himself a roadblock in the form of Brian McCann about 15 feet in front of home plate.
That went as well as one might expect. Gomez and McCann traded barbs and were quickly joined by a couple of Brewers and Reed Johnson off the Braves' bench. Gomez got very angry, but he seemed more interested in finding teammates to hold him back than actually taking a swing at anyone. In the end, no blows were exchanged. Freeman was the Brave ejected, to his great surprise. The Gomez ejection went unannounced, but he didn't take his position in the bottom of the first.
Oddly enough, Gomez never did come around to touch home plate. Since McCann obstructed him, it seems he didn't have to.
For McCann and the Braves, it's the second incident in a couple of weeks in which they didn't much like someone's actions after homering off them. The Marlins' Jose Fernandez previously got into it with McCann and Chris Johnson.
Whether McCann started this one or not, he should have been the Brave ejected for getting in Gomez's way. It was hard to see what Freeman did beyond some verbal jousting.

Braves will get bounced in the first round anyway, so the point is moot. Nice work Brew Crew. Way to take 2 of 3 down the stretch against a playoff team. I'm proud of you guys this year with all of the adversity and injuries.
- deathtoromo - Sep 26, 2013 at 7:12 AM
True loser speak. Your team is a laughingstock and stuck with a guy who will never be the same now that the roids are wearing off. Enjoy the cellar for the next 20 years. But since you're a Blewers fan, you should be used to it.
- voteforno6 - Sep 26, 2013 at 8:20 AM
This is at least the third time this season that this has happened with the Braves. There seems to be a pattern developing.
- bigdaddy44 - Sep 26, 2013 at 9:01 AM
Although I don't like what Gomez did, why is it that the Braves are the team that keeps bringing out this type of reaction from their opponents? It is because this is the most classless bunch MFers to ever don the Braves uniform. And much like the NFL or NHL player who gets called for the retaliation penalty, most baseball fans don't see what the Braves have done to cause such strong reactions from other teams. McCann may be the biggest hypocrite in baseball, challenging players from other teams for poor behavior, when he sits in a dugout chock full of chicken shit ahos . The Braves have always been my favorite NL team, but no more. They are now the Atlanta Chicken Shitters.
- skids003 - Sep 26, 2013 at 12:05 PM
Why are the Braves getting these reactions? Because they are kicking the crap out of everyone else in the East this year, and most of the rest of the league. Look at the three they got into it with. Three buttheads. There's your answer.
- kalinedrive - Sep 26, 2013 at 12:18 PM
Freeman was probably ejected because he was the first one to charge in with a shove. Before that it was just yelling and Lucroy holding back Gomez, but Freeman initiated the contact.
- tgthree - Sep 26, 2013 at 4:58 PM
Can someone not interested in this comment flame war help a Braves fan understand when the Braves' reputation actually started going downhill?
I don't think I'm exactly out on a limb to say that the Braves have long been generally considered a class organization, from Hank Aaron and John Schuerholz and Bobby Cox on down.
Prior to the last six weeks, I don't ever remember having read anything about Brian McCann being maligned for his character or attitude. (And I'm an open-minded reader of the wider baseball press, not just the Braves shills on MLB.com.) Same goes for Chris Johnson, although maybe I missed something from his pre-Braves career.
Is this an opinion about the Braves that has developed between August 9 (the Bryce Harper incident) and now? Or did I somehow miss something before that?
- wkb2003 - Sep 26, 2013 at 8:35 PM
Johnson played for Houston before coming to the Braves. I don't remember that he was any way controversial…I do remember he never competed for the batting title while with Houston.
- redmanrt - Sep 27, 2013 at 10:33 AM
Braves clearly more at fault for the ugly scene. McCann promoted himself to umpire. It would be neat if the Pirates cleaned their clock.

19. The method of
prior to the step of converting the first report of injury to a claim, generating an on-line communication to the insurer's claims processing system; and
attaching a unique claim number to the first report of injury.
[0001] The invention relates to an integrated system as distributive network enabling expedited and enhanced insurance claims management.
[0002] The time required to resolve insurance matters from the date of insurable event arises until the final payment is dispersed and the claim is closed has an impact on the total cost of indemnity and administration of the insurance. The success of an insurance system also depends upon the ability of all parties to obtain information and resources as quickly as possible. The flow of information from each of the stakeholders involved in an insurance claim has traditionally been handled by paper delivered, either by facsimile or postal service, from one participant to the next in a series of process silos. The efficiency and timing of the process is dependent upon a human employee entering the information into a system to move the claim toward the next silo of the process and each participant will enter the same information into their own system as other participants enter information into their respective systems.
[0003] In the case of workers' compensation insurance, where the ultimate goal is to return injured employees to work (�RTW�) after recovery from an injury sustained on the job, the cost of the insurance increases significantly the longer the employee remains off the job and eligible for benefits payable by the insurance plan. A large portion of the cost of this insurance is due to claim duration rather than injury. Employees may be slow to report the injuries, employers are often slow to report a claim and the insurance company may be slow in responding to and processing a claim. The longer it takes to process the claims, the higher the cost. Treatment often becomes less effective over time, but the expenses will continue to be incurred and the employee remains off the job and eligible for all or a portion of their regular pay as part of their insurance benefit.
[0004] The real cost of workers' compensation schemes, particularly for most claims involving soft issue injuries, rests in the time it takes to get an employee back to work, and a major factor is the time it takes to process the paperwork. One study of a state run and funded Workers' Compensation scheme in New South Wales, Australia, indicated that most claims experience up to a 28-day lag between the date of injury and the date the claim is registered by the insurance company for processing, and some claims had in excess of a 100-day lag in this timeframe. The cost of the claim increases by 18% or more with a two-week lag, 29% or more with a three-week lag, 31% after four weeks, and 49% after eight weeks.
[0005] The flow of information between the stakeholders of an insurance claim contributes to the costs and amount of time the claim remains active and unresolved within the scheme. Notifications, professional referrals and reports are currently handled by paper writings and delivered by facsimile or postal service. Security, speed of delivery and receipt of the documents are outside the control of the sender.
[0006] The flow of information in current insurance schemes is linear. An example of the linearity of the process is illustrated by the example of the state-run workers' compensation insurance scheme of New South Wales, Australia as shown in FIG. 1. Generally, under this scheme, an accident happens causing an injury to a worker and the injury is reported to the management. Management completes the claim forms and mails them to the insurer. The insurer processes the claim and refers the case to a physician or therapist provider. From the provider, the case may be further referred for rehabilitation and a decision is made as to whether the worker may return to suitable or full-time duties or leave employment. The number of days between each step depends upon the efficiency of the claims unit, but, particularly in state funded jurisdictions, the time lines are extreme. For example, it has taken an Australian insurer about six months to refer a claimant to its internal rehabilitation unit.
[0007] The volume of paperwork and activities required to follow-up with the insurance provider and employer to ensure that each party is doing its part to return a worker to his or her duties adds to the log-jams in processing. Additionally, each insurer approaches the claim differently with different processing requirements and commitment to accuracy and outcomes, despite legal obligations of some states' authorities for completion of stipulated processes within stipulated time frames. The inconsistencies in the process contribute to the inefficiency of the process.
[0008] Because workloads are high and there is pressure on each participant to cut costs within insurance operations, some participants may skip steps, omit collection of needed information, or ignore loss prevention indicators that may prevent further injury. As a result, the quality of information deteriorates as the overall number of claims increase. Additionally, insurers' employee turnover rate is high and the level of experience within claims departments is low. Claims that may otherwise be disputed are routinely accepted because the skill level of the employee may be low and there is not adequate time and expertise to permit a more thorough determination as to what claims are appropriately accepted or rejected. The level of training and support contributes to the factors that can positively or negatively impact the processing time, time required for RTW, the overall outcome, and cost and loss prevention.
[0009] As the quality of data passed from one silo of the process to the next continues to suffer within a system of poorly trained inexperienced workers, there is a significant decline in the adequacy and accuracy of information collected by the insurer. Authorities are increasingly unable to properly measure the performance of insurers or service providers or detect fraudulent practices, and employers are unable to establish effective loss prevention and RTW programs.
[0010] What is needed is a system that will reduce the process time between each silo of the claim process. What is further needed is a system in which authorized participants can access the same claim details and information and share this information simultaneously in real time. What is further needed is a claim management system that can guide the user through the process by providing automated criteria-driven steps that are consistently applied to all claims.
[0011] The system, as a distributive network, provides insurance companies with access to a comprehensive range of external service providers such as physicians, therapists and investigators as parties to the claim chain where selected by the claims officer.
[0012] The present invention provides a system and method for allowing an insurer to immediately share information with the necessary internal and external parties required to resolve an individual claim, such as medical and therapists providers. Each party to a particular claim is assigned an identification code (�ID�) and password that will allow that party access to claims released for viewing to that party.
[0013] Further, the claims officer can choose to submit specific claim data with a third-party supplier of decision support services. The insurer can, upon the collection of relevant information, access high-level decision support services provided by third-party suppliers for the purpose of risk profiling or expert opinion and advanced claims management, that are linked to the network, further expediting and enhancing the claim outcomes. An automated response mechanism built into the service returns a response to the system for analysis and action by the claims officer. Relevant files, instructions and reports can be shared among claims officer and providers, seamlessly and in real time. In this model, the claim is center of claims process, as opposed to being a parcel carried from silo to silo of the process. This system forces all participants to focus on the claim outcome and their role in the achievement of that outcome.
[0014] Utilizing a web browser, data is entered either directly into screen-based forms by either the employer or a claims officer, or alternatively fed in the background from the insurance company's existing mainframe or old Windows-based claims processing (legacy) system into a database within the system of the invention for access via the web browser by the claims officer. The claim can then progress according to the workflow management interface provided by the system and which may be customized to suit the user organization's requirements.
[0015] The insurer can refer claims to providers and the providers can report back on their actions and recommendations. The claims officer chooses, in accordance with privacy and other regulations, with whom to share reports and recommendations via the system of the invention, again, enabling an immediate response and/or action on the claim and encouraging a collaborative dialogue between and among the stakeholders and participants to a claim. Access of users of the claims data is authenticated upon login access. The user's login access grants the user access according to a hierarchy established by the insurer and allows the user to access and modify claims files for subscriber accounts, the hierarchy assigned to the user determines the breadth and depth of access within a class view that appears to the user. The providers and employers also access the system via a web browser, regardless of whether the source database of files is stored on the system's secure web server or internal to the insurer organization. Data is protected by firewalls, the storage server is accessed via 128-bit encryption and no claim details are sent by e-mail.
[0016] The system of the invention includes a workflow management overlay in each view specific to that view. The workflow management overlay component is included in order to direct each party to the system to a best practice or preferred set of handling requirements. This overlay insures that all claims will be processed to a similar high standard and in a similar time-frame. Participants of the system will come to have an increased comfort level in the process because the activities and timing of activities will be more predictable, and are adjustable according to need.
[0017] It is envisaged that at the least one to several days of administrative time can be saved per process step, or per silo. It is envisaged that insurers and employers will have a much higher quality of data available in real time thus enabling more effective loss prevention and proactive intervention of the claim thereby resulting in significant cost savings.
[0018] Where the claim liability is carried by the insurer, as in most parts of the United States and some states of Australia, the system of the invention will add significant value to the insurance operations. The present invention is entirely applicable to insurance schemes other than Workers' Compensation insurance schemes.

[0027]FIG. 8 is a simplified illustration of the interactive steps between the claims officer's browser, the hub server and a third-party supplier of decision support services.
[0028] Utilizing a digital infrastructure, the current invention replaces the existing linear, paper-based processes where duplicate entry in multiple systems and lengthy delays in processing each stage from silo to silo is common practice in all jurisdictions. The customers (insurer) access both supplier and provider information and services through digital client requests, via a hub server receiving and actioning a plurality of client requests concurrently. Examples of the client requests that are received and actioned are those depicted in FIGS. 4-7, including, but not limited to, the entry and submission of data, viewing and editing of files, diaries and decision support results.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there would be at least two types of server. The first server contemplated would run the Web interface and processes, receiving and responding to requests from clients, sending and receiving requests from clients to and from third-party supplier servers, called a hub server.
[0030] The second server contemplated is a secure server for the purpose of containing a computer storage medium and a processing system. A number of databases are stored on the storage medium, containing data pertaining to the participants and their claims (each insurance company's data ideally located in a separate database), together with databases of other participant classes from which the user can select for service delivery, such as medical and other providers.
[0031] Not dissimilar to client/server architecture on existing computer networks, each user request tasks of the system, to have results returned to their unique view. A �server� is typically a remote computer system that is accessible over a cabled network or communications medium such as the Internet. A �client� is a member of a class or group that uses the services of another class or group to which it is not related. In this case, the client is a process, request or task that requests a service provided by another �client� via the server. The client process uses the requested service without having to know any working details about the other clients or server itself. The client process may be active in a third-party computer system and communicate with the hub server over the Internet while allowing multiple clients to take advantage of the information gathering and sharing capabilities of the server.
[0032] The current invention allows remote and after hours access to information, reporting date analysis and entry of new claim data; it allows concurrent access to the same claim. Specifically designed to implement an e-collaboration model of claim information sharing meaning, the claim, while held on a single storage server, can be viewed by multiple parties at the same time�the unique view of each being determined by the user name and password entered via a remote Web browser. Multiple types of view, and multiple parties in each class of view are possible.
[0033] Participants can view files made available in their view by other participants relevant to a specific claim, they can direct enter information or upload files from their own computer hard-drives, receive and action referrals, and market their services to other participants through a searchable database of all available participants. Each participant is assigned an access level to the system and the access level determines to which view the participant has access. The claims officer determines which claim files, and what specific documents pertaining to each claim file will be authorized for viewing, entry and update of information by specific other participants through their secure views. All data now entered and retrieved is accessed from and stored to the insurer's claim database on the secure server.
[0034] The system links insurance company and self-insured claims units with service providers and third-party suppliers of decision-support and advanced management solutions in an on-line distributive network. The system automates the process of communication forcing collaboration and expedited out-come driven claims management.
[0035] In the current processing situation, insurers contract individual companies to supply certain services. Each is separate from the other (silos). Because of the digital infrastructure that now exists, essentially any customer value proposition can be disaggregated to its essential components and reassembled in the form of a digitally connected partnership, now commonly referred to as a distributive network. It enables a specific set of contributors to come together to create value for customers, each focusing on a limited set of core competencies. The system provides a single point of access to all customers, delivering multiple services in a circular and multi-channel, multi-directional supply chain.
[0036] Further, once provider subscribes to the system, the provider may market its services to other participants via the community forum, or be selected from the full available and searchable database of providers on the system to receive referrals. Suppliers of processing tools, decision-support services such as triaging, and service providers (doctors, therapists, investigators etc.), are immediately and concurrently accessible by the customer (in this case, the insurer or self-insured) at the click of a button. The community forum may be a specific area on the hub server to which all parties have rights. For example, the community forum is the �Members' Lounge� of FIGS. 4-7. Available through the community forum is a full listing and profile of each member company within each third-party supplier service, industry news, industry research, broadcasts, an industry job bank, newsletter, user manuals, bulletin board, user advertising, polls and competitions. In addition, a searchable database may be provided to all users from within their workflow management view of any type of claims inventory list, under the menu selection, �Add or change information� specific to an individual claim.
[0037] The system choreographs the management processes, value creation and intellectual property. Bringing suppliers and customers together in the one distributive network expedites communication, streamlines the processes, enhances decisions and outcomes, thereby drastically reducing processing times and improving the care of the claimant early in the claim, to ultimately reduce costs significantly, across the board.
[0038] The system joins participants in a common cause, removing the �us and them� atmosphere that can exist between insurers and providers. It deliberately builds on the sense of community and invites the sharing of ideas, experience, topics of currency and importance to participants via the on-line forum exclusive to participants. Other services available through the forum include news items, job advertisements, supplier manuals and system user tips.
[0039] The same provider access/interaction and third-party supplier services are available where the system is installed within a client Intranet server, or where it is accessed via an external web server. Data can be stored on the secure server and fed to and/or from the system and it's participants (insurers, employers, government authorities and service providers.), and/or fed to and from the insurers own database, regardless of whether accessing the secure server, or an internal Intranet-based database. FIG. 2a is one schematic example of how the various participants can use the system.
[0040] According to FIG. 2, an injury report is lodged on-line by an employer 1. The insurer receives notification from the system, i.e. by e-mail, that a report has been lodged 2. According to its own processes, the insurer assigns the claim to a claims officer. The claims officer logs onto the system and accesses the report from the employer through a reference number that is hyperlinked to the system. The claims officer contacts the employer, claimant and treating doctor, if available, by telephone to obtain answers to detailed questions regarding the claim. Answers are entered into the insurer's view of the report which includes a field in which the claims officer's name and e-mail address is selected from a list provided by the insurer. Thus, access to the claim is limited internally to the claims officer and his/her supervisors.
[0041] On submission of the complete report to the system by the claims officer and if accepted by the insurer as a claim, the system sends a file to the insurer's legacy claims processing system 3. The processing system accepts the claim as a new claim and registers it, assigning a system-generated claim file number. Alternatively, the report may come into the insurer by other means, and the data automatically sent to the system by file feed from the insurer's claims processing system. In this instance, the claim would appear on the system as a registered claim, complete with a claim number. The claims officer would then process the claim through workflow management.
[0042] The insurer's legacy system returns the claim file number to the system 4. The claim file number is matched to the reference number originated on entry of the First Report of Injury, where such Report may be entered directly to the system. The file is now accessed through the insurer's claim file number that is permanently affixed to the record and hyperlinked on the system and available only to authorized parties to that individual claim. The claims officer can now triage the claim through any or all triage (predictive profiling of the claim for medical cost risk, return to work risk and litigation risk, as deemed necessary and if available to the insurer) services on the network to which they have access, as determined upon account set-up. Or the claim may be referred at any stage to any other supplier service on the network available to the insurer, according to specific claim requirements and/or workflow management procedures. Or the claim may not require risk profiling and may be managed without accessing third-party suppliers of triage or other decision support services, as per FIG. 2a.
[0043] On completion of the report and/or triaging process, the claims officer is aware that a treating doctor exists, or makes the determination to send the claimant to see a doctor. In either case, the insurer selects (or adds if the existing treating doctor is new to the system) the treating doctor and refers the claim to him/her for more information, or to provide treatment, or to report findings. The doctor receives an e-mail notification of referral of a claim for action, complete with instructions from the insurer 5.
[0044] The doctor returns a medical report to the system 6. The medical report is available to parties authorized by the insurer as relevant to the resolution of the claim. Authorized parties may include the employer, employer's injury management coordinator, and or other medical providers such as specialists or physical therapists, depending on the injury and the treating doctor's findings and recommendations. The insurer, acting on the medical report, refers the claim to the various other providers (such as a physical therapist) as necessary to achieve RTW, with instructions 7.
[0045] The physical therapist or other provider returns a report to the claim file held on system 8. This report is made available according to authorization given by the insurer, to parties who may need to know the details of the physical therapist's or other provider's report, and specific instructions or requests may be sent by the insurer to specific parties to assist in the process of achieving RTW 9. These parties may include the treating doctor, employer, employer's injury management coordinator and the insurer. All parties share information with regard to achievement of RTW, adding information to the claim file as required 10. The system, on a pre-determined schedule (i.e., daily through real-time) feeds back required information to the insurer's processing system to ensure comprehensive collection and internal analysis of data not currently available.
[0046]FIG. 3 depicts the workflow management overlay used to guide the claims officer through the claims management process. All classes of view have a workflow management interface specific to that view. Each view is then customizable at the company account level, to add company specific procedures, tasks, requirements for all participants in various views. The workflow management interface is further customizable by end user through the addition of tasks and reminders, resulting in a unique view. The workflow management overlay is designed to allow each participant to set specific tasks that are required to be completed on certain types of claims. For example, it automatically calculates time-frames between actions and automatically diaries reminders for specific action. It prompts the claims officer to obtain further information that is important to the insurer, and records treatment and time-frame outcomes from service providers making available to the insurer, benchmarking information. The workflow overlay may also prompt the claims officer as to when to access, or contact, specific service providers for a particular service, as determined by the insurer. Claim information is automatically made available to third-party suppliers of decision support services (such as triage) on the claims officer clicking the �submit to X� button. X being any one of a number of third-party suppliers of decision support services available on the network and accessed via the workflow management interface.
[0047] Third-party suppliers are not limited to triage services that provide predictive profiling for various types of risk. They may include holders of treatment protocols and advanced management techniques. The workflow overlay is designed to facilitate a consistently high quality of claims management across all claims units for reduced time and cost in claims handling, and to facilitate access to decision support to ensure a consistent approach to similar claims, ensuring best practice protocols are followed, and even inexperienced claims officer obtain high quality advice for perhaps non-obvious problem claims.
[0048] All participants can access the server at any time, from any computer using an Internet browser capable of reading 128 bit encrypted data, such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer 5.0 or above. The subscriber enters a user ID and password and the secure server validates the ID and password and returns the user's workflow management screen and the user may then retrieve and return data in files of the secure server.
[0049] One class of user would be the insurer's (insurance company or self-insured employer) claims officer. Using an Internet browser from any computer, the claims officer may wish to access account information in storage from the secure server, for the purpose of adding or changing information, requesting third-party supplier services, for the purpose of referring the claim to one or more service provider, or for the purpose of data analysis.
[0050] In an alternate embodiment of the present invention, such secure server may be located within the insurer's computer systems, behind its own firewall and IT security set-up. In this situation, no claim data would be stored outside of the user's own server. All relevant data would be made available for viewing to other members so authorized, in the same manner as the hub Web server arrangement described previously.
[0051] Another class of user is the physician provider�such as treating doctor, referred doctor, second opinion doctor, hospital or other treatment center that may need to share information relevant to the claim, to the claims officer. Whether chosen by the claimant, employer, or located on and chosen from a database within the system, the treating doctor can respond to requests for information, medical reports, examination and medical certificates from the insurer, retrieving and returning relevant claim information to the secure server, by logging on and typing his/her user name and password into any browser.
[0052] A further class of user would be therapists to whom the claim is referred. This class has a number of sub-groups, such as physical therapists, occupational therapist, rehabilitation therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors and any other medical server provider. These groups are classed as one type of user (therapist provider) because the protocols of the view are the same for each. The type of information they have access to, the types of requests for service made of them, and the types of information and reporting required of them, are similar. The format of each user's view of the claim therefore, is the same.
[0053] Another class of user would be investigative providers, including private investigators who conduct either or both, factual or surveillance investigations, ergonomists who might be required to conduct a job site analysis, occupational health and safety experts, and physical therapists schooled in the conduct of functional capacity analysis. As they experience detailed requests for investigative analysis of the claim/claimant, their view is slightly different to that of therapist providers, enabling higher level or more in-depth sharing of information as determined appropriate by the insurer.
[0054] These are the most common classes in the simplest embodiment of the present invention. However, other classes might include legal advisors, government authorities such as Worker's Compensation regulators, loss prevention specialists, external injury management coordinators, radiology and pathology providers, and other parties as the insurer users or system manager sees fit to add.
[0055] The views presented to the various subscribers upon entering the system vary with the class of subscriber. FIGS. 4-7 depict flowcharts of some of the views and task choices that are available to certain subscribers upon entering the system. FIG. 4 depicts one embodiment of how the views of three distinct member classes might differ. Each view is entitled to see a certain data set pertaining to each claim to which it has authorized access. FIG. 5 illustrates that, in some instances, the data type will be the same as viewed by multiple classes of user. FIG. 6 illustrates that the title of each task choice may appear to be the same, but the information available upon a first level selection of the choice is different.
[0056] Each user view contains a standardized set of tasks that are possible to add to manually, and each may be modified for a specific claim where required. Each contains a standardized set of tasks that are system-generated, such as follow-up reminder that the system adds to the diary after a certain period to time has passed without action on the claim by the user, and which may also be modified on appearance. Each user view can have any number of personalized standard tasks added automatically upon set criteria being present, or added manually as the user sees fit.
[0057]FIG. 7 shows that the View/edit Claims Diary option, for example, would hold a different set of standardized and customizable tasks for each group. What action an employer should conduct in relation to a claim at any moment is not the same action required by a therapist in servicing that claim, nor the same as an action required by a claims officer working on the same claim. Users may link diaries across classes of user both internal and external to the organization, pertaining to a specific claim so that the claims officer can see when the therapist is next due to treat the claimant without having to take the time out of both parties' day to find out.
[0058] Once logged in, the user can make menu choices that send instructions to the server to access specific data. The server returns screens encapsulating that information. The user can also request the services of a third-party supplier linked to the hub server, such as triaging. FIG. 8 is a simplified illustration of the process of accessing a third-party supplier service for a specific claim performed in one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment of the present invention, the server sends a request to the third-party supplier and the supplier returns results to the server which, in turn, generates a results screen for display on the user's browser. The results information is then stored with the claim on the secure server.
[0059] While the third-party supplier services referred to above includes triaging for a variety of risks, these services may include any number and type of tools that enhance decision making, improve efficiency and management of the claim, or directly reduce claim costs. They may in fact not include triaging at all. The type and number of services available to the customer is not limited, except by customer choice. Triaging services, for example, may be offered but not desired.
[0060] Once logged in, the insurer claims officer user can perform a number of tasks not presently available on existing claims processing computer systems, such as referring a claim to one or more providers, viewing medical certificates and therapist reports and treatment programs, viewing the calendar for the claim that contains all events pertaining to the claim, including that of external parties such as doctors and therapists. The list of tasks available to the claims officer is limited only by the insurer in establishing the account, as company specific required tasks and time lines may be added to the system generated tasks, system generated tasks may be modified or removed, or added.
[0061] Where tasks might be time-line dependant, the present invention automatically calculates in the background, days since the claim was entered on the secure server, days since injury, days since the claim was referred to each external party, days between actions. It also shows average time-lost days for similar types of injury on the system so that the claims officer may benchmark processing times and better them (constantly improving the average benchmarked against) and also so that the claims officer may be alerted to issues outside of the injury that may be affecting the claim, such as poor employer cooperation in RTW.
[0062] Once logged in, the medical and therapist provider can perform a number of tasks not presently available in existing practice management programs, such as receive and accept referrals, view claim data and instructions from the insurer, share documentation such as reports and treatment programs with the insurer (and with other providers where appropriate) in a secure environment.
[0063] Once logged in, the legal advisor, where such legal advisor is a subscriber to the system, may receive referrals for advice from the insurer or self-insured employer, complete with claim data and questions, in a secure environment. They may respond with information in an equally secure manner, expediting the response process. They may also share diaries pertaining to the claim to ensure all parties are aware of and planning for conferences and court appearances.
[0064] Once logged in, employers may make a first report of injury to the insurance company, or a divisional supervisor can make a first report of injury to the in-house claims unit of a self-insured employer. The employer may then track the progress of the claim, communicate directly with the insurer and providers and facilitate RTW politics and loss prevention programs by checking the status of the claim and information available regarding the claim on the system.
[0065] The example process described in FIG. 8 is relevant to any and all operations that may be performed by the user. For example, if the insurer user is Claims Officer A, the claims officer may choose to see the claims of a single employer so that he/she might action those claims more speedily in the event of a spate of incidents that when seen together, may tell a better story than when viewed individually.
[0066] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, Claims Officer A opens his/her web browser and enters the system URL in the address bar of the screen. The browser sends a message to the system secure server, requesting a view of the home page. At the home page, Claims Officer A clicks the member log-in tab, and the log-in screen is displayed. Claims Officer A types his/her user ID and password and pushes the �Enter� button on his/her keyboard. A message is sent to the secure server requesting validation. The user ID and password are validated, login is recorded for audit trail purposes, and the processing server provides a view into the data stored on the secure server. The secure server returns the user's workflow management screen, from which he/she can access a variety of tasks, one of which is Action Claims.
[0067] Under Action Claims is a menu choice to view/edit current claims by employer. On selecting this option, a drop down list of current employers is revealed together with the number of current claims open on the system pertaining to that employer. The field is programmed to be auto complete so that the claims officer need only type the first few letters of the employer's name to locate the correct company, and then select that company name to view the associated data. On selection of the employer, the server is sent a message requesting access to the appropriate database. The secure server returns a view of all claims belonging to that specific employer. The Claims Officer may then choose to view information for specific claims, refer specific claims, refer all claims, search for common data elements on all claims, add or change information on any or all claims, and/or obtain and print reports on claim activity.
[0068] Where the insurer has access to third-party suppliers of services such as advanced claims management or triaging, the claims officer may submit one or all claims to any one or all services available.
[0069] Reporting is extensive, with any number of pieces or combination of pieces of information reportable on a single claim, claims grouped by employer, dates of entry, types of injury, dates of birth, industry, claims officer, claims unit, state, and nationwide for insurers that are national members. Provider services may be benchmarked for rehabilitation time-lines and treatment visits. Third-party supplier services may also be examined via the reporting function to determine cost and time-savings relative to industry averages (pre or external to the system) and which services are delivering the best results.
[0070] In an alternate embodiment of the present invention, an insurer may install the system as an addition to its information technology (�IT�) infrastructure, and perhaps install a copy of both servers internal to the organization. In such case, the insurer may choose to include full or limited access to the menu of third-party suppliers on the system, and/or add its own external suppliers of services and perhaps not access the suppliers in arrangement with other subscribers of the system.
[0071] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, an insurer's cost in using the invention is substantially less than the potential savings gained from using the system. The fee structure is therefore, deliberately flexible.
[0072] Methods and systems for connectivity between the server, members and suppliers are disclosed. The above-described system is presented to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the invention. For purposes of explanation, specific nomenclature is set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. Descriptions of specific applications are provided only as examples. Various modifications to the preferred embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed herein.

Busy BC Mom from BC, Canada
I bought this sink for a large kitchen island, to accompany the larger Nouvelle model which is the main kitchen sink. It was a larger sink than I really wanted for the island (this is for a 30" cabinet, and I really wanted something smaller for a 24" cabinet), but the pair of sinks were the style I was looking for at the right price.

The Opening: Special Video Edition — Angela Grossmann's Small Crimes
|THE OPENING is all about delving into the fascinating, quirky and wonderful visual arts in Vancouver. Each week we'll feature an artist, cover an exhibition, discuss a lecture and everything else in-between to delve deep into who and what makes art happen!
INTERVIEW: Angela Grossmann speaks about 'Small Crimes'.
Video and editing by Chris Bentzen, interview by Alex M.F. Quicho.
Presented in conjunction with Hot Art Wet City and Winsor Gallery.
Somber, sepia-toned, and dapper, the lone figures in Angela Grossmann's Small Crimes series peer out of their frames with an air of dignified tragedy. Based on mugshots of criminals incarcerated for minor crimes, these collage works were first installed at the Barrister's Lounge at the Provincial Court in Robson Square last month. On November 4th, the exhibition opens once again at another historic local courthouse: the Vancouver Art Gallery. Both are acts that Grossmann thinks of as almost subversive: she is returning these people to places of law and incarceration, not as criminals, but as art.
In the making for over 20 years, this suite of works showcases Grossmann's skills in tearing apart and recombining — in stitching lost histories back into narratives and characters. Composed of vintage papers and photographs, each piece reconfigured with beautifully unsystematic gestures: the deft rips, slices, and smudges that make was once discarded precious again.

Feb. 1, 2012: We've scoured the Web to find the best and most compelling animal stories, videos and photos. And it's all right here.
Last week, the Watkins family found a Border Collie mix wandering the streets in the Bakersfield, Calif., area. "She was just starving and skin and bones," said Nikki Jo Watkins, who took the dog home and named her Gypsy. Gypsy indulged in the food Watkins offered and seemed comfortable while getting some rest, but then she was up on all fours, staring at Watkins as though she was trying to tell her something. The next morning, Gypsy escaped from the house, and the Watkins family went searching for her. Finally, after scouring the area, they heard faint sounds coming from a dirt hole, where they discovered Gypsy's seven puppies protected by a covering of tumbleweeds. Watkins brought the puppies to her warm car, where they were reunited with their mom. "She looked at me right in my eyes and just was almost like, 'thank you'," Watkins said. "She continued to strive for survival and for life and she didn't give up, and I don't want to give up on her either." — Watch it at CNN
A difficult-to-reach, dense forest dubbed "the green abyss" by researchers has been declared a national park by the government of the Republic of Congo. In 2008, the Wildlife Conservation Society discovered that an estimated 15,000 western lowland gorillas were living in the area, which helped the government move to protect their habitat. The 1,765 square-mile area is now called Ntokou-Pikounda National Park. "As big as gorillas are, it's surprising how nimble they are in these dense understories — it's their preferred habitat," said Paul Telfer, director of the WCS's Congo program. — Read it at The New York Times
A Bulldog mix was dropped off at a high-kill rabies control shelter in Jackson, Tenn., "not because he's mean or tears things up… But because his owner says he's gay!" according to a Facebook page run by the group Jackson TN Euthanasia, which tries to find homes for dogs brought to the shelter. The story quickly went viral, with hundreds of people calling the shelter and thousands more posting online about the dog's situation. Apparently, the owner thought the dog was "gay" because he hunched over another male dog, which is common dominance behavior in dogs. Luckily, Stephanie Fryns, a veterinary tech, had spotted the dog on an adoption site and already planned to rescue him before the story took off on social media. She named him Elton. — Read it at ABC News
Aramis, an African lion who lives at the In-Sync Exotics Wildlife Rescue Education Center in Wylie, Texas, will only eat one thing when he's sick: elk meat. But the meat has been hard to come by. After having no lucky by calling local hunters and restaurants, the shelter noticed that the Twisted Root Burger Co. had an elk burger on its menu, and contacted owner and chef Jason Boso. "I just so happened to get a shipment of 50 pounds of elk meat today and I was about to grind it into hamburgers, but no way! I'm going to take it to a lion!" Boso said. Aramis did eat the meat — and the medicine that the center's staff slipped into it. They're expecting the meat to last about two weeks, and they're hopeful that Aramis will be healthy before then. — Read it at Today
Natasha, a 6-month-old Siberian cat, already has a harrowing tale. Last month, her owner's roommate was loading the washing machine, and left the room for a few minutes to grab more clothes. He didn't realize that in the meantime, the kitten had jumped into the machine. She accidentally went through an entire 35-minute wash cycle. After realizing what happened, her owner, Daryl Humdy, from Oakland, Calif., rushed her to an emergency animal hospital, where the frightened kitten was treated for severe hypothermia and shock. Natasha has since made a full recovery, and the veterinarian says she was the most pleasant-smelling pet the team had ever treated. — Read it at DVM 360

Excellent hotel and service. Whilst rooms are not huge they are certainly very nice and beautifully decorated. Hotel breakfast was expensive but plenty of options nearby including sitting on the edge of a beautiful bay actually on the beach. Mattresses I am sure are expensive but as mentioned by others they are very firm. That is always a matter off taste but I would consider offering clients a topper.

The Ocean Drive has great views from the Sea View Rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful no matter what time of day. There is also a great restaurant/bar, Magnus, across the street.
