July 2017—With the laboratory industry in flux—and many critical determinants of the next few years waiting on policy moves by the new administration and third-party payers—hospital outreach programs could wish for a better time to make existential decisions such as accepting an offer to be purchased.
Following on last year's surge of purchases of hospital outreach programs by Laboratory Corp. of America, Quest Diagnostics, and Sonic Healthcare, the pace of acquisitions has only picked up in 2017.
"When someone comes in and offers you a really big number for your lab, it makes you take a pause," says Jason Newmark, vice president for diagnostic services at Baystate Health, Springfield, Mass. But he thinks many laboratories should not be in a hurry to say yes. "Whether you sell or not should depend on the circumstances of your organization."
As one of the largest reference labs in New England, Baystate has been approached numerous times by the national commercial labs interested in a joint venture or a purchase. Major competitors of Baystate have already accepted such offers, including UMass Memorial Health Care's lab outreach and Hartford HealthCare's outreach operation, Clinical Laboratory Partners, which were bought by Quest over the last few years for "gigantic sums of money."
First of two parts
Baystate, which has notched double-digit growth in recent years, has so far opted not to sell. Some hospital outreach programs that did sell were experiencing financial challenges and had reached a crossroads, Newmark says. "They felt they had grown as big as they could and to grow bigger would require a big investment." In contrast, "We feel uniquely positioned as really the last standing large-scale operation in the region that can compete with the national labs."
Hospital labs' turnaround-time advantage over the national labs is not as significant as in the past, he points out. "In our region, Quest has a brand-new, state-of-the-art lab on a major highway just outside of Boston, and while turnaround time may have been a problem historically on send-outs, now the testing is really within a one-hour drive of most areas of the state." Some tests like troponin, D dimers, and those for oncology will always be kept on site, but it's more difficult to keep the more esoteric microbiology or some of the new molecular testing on site because of the low volume or the expertise needed to run it.
Medicare's new payment scheme under the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 could have a multimillion dollar impact on Baystate and other labs, Newmark says. "That forces us to really look at our own efficiencies and processes. Do we have the right equipment? Are we doing the right tests on site? Are we staffed appropriately and processing specimens in an efficient manner?"
Efficiency or growth are the only two alternatives for a lab to offset the losses expected with PAMA, Newmark believes. "Looking at what differentiates us from someone else in the marketplace, we're focusing on getting an understanding of referral patterns, algorithms to provide clinical decision support, and how we can help people order the right tests that will drive down costs."
But, he says, "if we can't efficiently maintain a certain level of service, that's going to put us in a very different position of maybe saying we should outsource more testing." Many organizations will struggle as a result of the PAMA cuts, slated to be effective Jan. 1, 2018, if they lack a sound infrastructure and sound space to work from.
Both Quest and LabCorp, Newmark adds, can choose between trying to compete in a market or aligning with hospitals and potentially purchasing their outreach program. The large labs have the money to do that and bring a lot of the testing to their main hubs in North Carolina or New Jersey, and not worry about the competition anymore. "I imagine they've run the numbers on it to show that whatever they spend to buy an outreach program, they're going to make a return on investment pretty quick."
However, Newmark suspects some clients have moved on after the recent acquisitions in his region. "We've been approached by many clients that used to send work to UMass or Hartford in the past and they're saying they're looking for an alternative. I can't tell you we're better than Quest, but I think we have a local presence, and a very good, responsive level of service." At this time, he adds, Baystate is also financially viable, has recently hired additional sales and service representatives, and is seeking efficiencies within the laboratory to streamline its workflow.
Baystate's relationship with Mayo Medical Laboratories, its reference lab, is not based strictly on bottom line considerations, Newmark emphasizes. "We have a very good synergy with Mayo." Under the labs' multiyear contract, "We agree to send them a percentage of our total send-out, so they are by definition our primary reference lab. Mayo is never going to beat Quest or LabCorp on price, but we don't want to just be a client; we want a partnership, or collaboration where we can look at ways of doing innovative data analytics, utilization management, population health, and so on. We've found that partner in Mayo."
Staff efficiencies are part of the game plan in the takeover deals, he says. "I would assume there's definitely a loss of jobs and that would be a big concern for us." As one of the major employers in western Massachusetts, Baystate has about 700 people working in the laboratories, six percent of the organization's total employees, and many have a long tenure with the system. However, Baystate is carrying out its own plans for streamlining workflows and assessing opportunities to rightsize staffing models, Newmark says.
When microbiology, histology, cytology, and esoteric molecular and genetics testing at all five hospitals were consolidated into Baystate's core lab, staffing was reduced. "We needed to take an honest and deep dive into staffing and the testing we do on site. For example, we made the very difficult decision to outsource all cytogenetic testing last year, for lack of volume and weak reimbursement. Eight to 10 people were displaced in that decision, but financially it made a lot of sense." The laboratory saved $500,000 to $600,000 in a year by dropping its in-house cytogenetics testing.
Overall, Baystate's laboratory removed more than a million dollars of salaries between last year and the current year, even while its year-to-date testing has risen by six to seven percent. "We are improving our efficiencies and finding ways to reduce our non-wage expenses as well. However, the truth remains that our primary expense is people," Newmark says. "You're going to have to grow exponentially because everything in the lab is volume to drive down the overall cost of testing. There's a 'sweet spot' where you can bring in lots of volume without having to add people. Then there's that 'step function' where you're probably going to have to add a little more than you need; then you just have to crash on volume until you get to that next step function."
Like most outreach programs, Baystate's program originated with the laboratory's excess capacity, and Newmark believes the magic question has not changed: "Can you bring in enough volume to take advantage of the capacity?" With the right infrastructure, especially IT connectivity, the market to maintain sales, and the ability to differentiate one's program from other labs, he says, hospital outreach can thrive.
There's still room for Baystate's laboratory to grow. But it has already extended its catchment area all the way to Boston and almost to the border with Rhode Island. "And that creates a whole new set of logistics for us." Could that be too far? "If we get to the point where we just don't know if we can compete anymore, or to get to the next level requires capital investment, we may pause and ask should we partner with somebody or do we really, truly have the horsepower to continue on our own?"
In some ways, hospital lab outreach programs are ripe for the plucking, says Stan Schofield, president of NorDx, the core laboratory of MaineHealth in Scarborough, Me. Laboratories are being sold off for three main reasons, in his view. "First, they can't compete at the much lower reimbursement that's in store" when PAMA kicks in. Second, many insurers have narrowed their networks for testing providers to just Quest and LabCorp, hindering hospital labs from making a profit on their services.
"And third, hospitals have much higher service and technology demands than revenue coming in, and they may have to have a garage sale somehow. They can't sell off janitorial or easily outsource imaging and radiology, so the lab is one of the first things to get served up."
NorDx began 20 years ago as the core laboratory for three hospitals and now serves the 10 hospitals of MaineHealth, a quarter of the hospitals in the state. So it's been 20 good years, says Schofield, who is co-founder and managing principal of the Compass Group, whose lab members represent more than 500 of the nation's most prestigious hospitals and health systems. He is proud of the process improvement that has taken place at NorDx and believes it has given the lab the resources to fend off bids from Quest and LabCorp, which have knocked at the door several times. "We've reduced costs 15 to 20 percent below what the hospitals used to run their labs for, and we've standardized equipment, information systems, procedures, and staff training and competency. All those things Quest and LabCorp say they will do to improve operations, we've been doing successfully."
Of course, Maine happens to be particularly rural—as Schofield says, there are more moose than people in some parts of the state—and that makes optimizing courier networks trickier for the regional lab. But as evidence of its success, NorDx is often the source of revenue for the MaineHealth system when it needs a large investment in information technology or other technology that many hospitals can't afford, he points out.
He believes NorDx is somewhat less buffeted by its competitors because the MaineHealth system's contracts and laboratory contracts are all unified. "We try to avoid carve-outs of the lab, and other patient services like radiology, so we have something called single-signature contracting where one signature is for everyone in the health system. As a result, the tumor markers, molecular assays, advanced microbiology, autoimmune testing, allergy testing—they're all run in a very cost-effective manner right here on the same lab fee schedules as Quest and LabCorp tests."
Private insurance, in a way, is health systems' protection against a certain percentage of Medicare cost-cutting, Schofield points out, since Medicare already does not cover the cost of care. "Hospitals are only able to stay in business because if the hospital bills $20,000 for a private-payer-covered patient's care, it gets paid 90 cents on the dollar or whatever is the contracted rate. Almost all hospital commercial insurance is well above what Medicare pays; otherwise there wouldn't be a hospital in business anymore." Within that framework, the lab piece for non-Medicare hospitalized patients is a big source of revenue—as are radiology and ancillary services—and helps keep hospitals from going in the red, Schofield says.
Despite that, Schofield warns that it's time for all labs, including his, to get ready for PAMA and not take anything for granted. He plans to bring in his regular advisor, Applied Management Systems of Burlington, Mass., to see if there are areas he can make more cost-effective at NorDx's 10 hospitals and regional core lab, before PAMA hits. "This is my last chance to batten the hatches down before the storm," he points out. Benchmarking will be a key part of the process, and he hopes that benchmarks for NorDx's productivity and quality will show it is still one of the best and most cost-effective labs in the country.
If NorDx were sold off to Quest, he believes, it would reduce the health system's integration and harm its mission. "Six of the 10 hospitals Quest probably wouldn't want to run because they're too small, and Quest isn't going to do 125 nursing homes. But the health system needs many of those homes to allow for patient discharge and rehab within the state. If their lab work in case of infection or secondary complications isn't available, people can't be discharged from the medical centers without them." That, in turn, detrimentally affects length-of-stay figures.
As he notes, the large national labs got out of the nursing home business in most distant, rural settings years ago. "If a patient service center doesn't have 25 to 30 patients a day, then LabCorp will close it." In Maine, NorDx has been filling the nursing home niche. But that niche is now at risk because of cost reductions from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
A troubled business model accompanies many of the acquisitions that have occurred in the diagnostics industry in recent years, which start with a promise that the buyer can deliver secret efficiencies. "Say you have 500 doctors and a regional lab and they bill out $30 million in lab tests through that relationship in terms of outreach. Quest or LabCorp will say, 'I'll give you $45 million for that business because it's all going to hell and you're not going to survive. We'll manage your lab for five or 10 percent of operating expenses and be your reference lab.'"
The promised savings come from automating, stripping down costs, and overworking the staff with high productivity demands, often motivating the staff to leave, he says. "For four or five years, the buyers do this at cost or below cost, then in the last five years of the contract they have escalators, so they make money by year six or seven." There really is no secret sauce, Schofield says: "It's all increasing productivity and adding automation, and just about anybody can do that now."
Admittedly, what Quest and LabCorp can mainly offer in recent acquisitions like PeaceHealth in Eugene, Ore., or PAML in Spokane, Wash., is savings on labor, Schofield points out. But the price is steep. "For example, in Spokane 400 people are at risk of losing their jobs because the work won't stay there. It will go to a large national lab in that part of the country, because that's the formula. In other words, you don't get the results in six hours anymore. The sample goes on an airplane somewhere overnight and you get the results 16 or 20 hours later. But they're half the cost to produce."
An additional factor fueling desperation, in some cases, is that hospital CEOs are getting hammered with costs and hemorrhaging cash for information technology, Schofield says. Cost overruns for some electronic record systems have become routine, leaving many health system executives feeling forced to sell off the lab because it's not a "core fundamental service."
Anything can happen these days, he concedes, and if the CMS slashes reimbursements by 20 or 30 percent, then his own laboratory might be at risk. "But if the national labs were to come in and just buy the outreach, say, in two or three of my cities and scrap what's left because it isn't cost-effective, that would be a huge disruption. So my health system is not shopping to sell me."
His core strategy has been to keep the emphasis on growth. "If you're not growing, you're in a defensive position, and the only way to stay ahead of a declining reimbursement curve is to add volume." But "lowballing" by the national labs and the government's reimbursement cuts have made growth more and more difficult, and he believes the concept of outreach as a profit center for health systems is at high risk. "You can still run at a more limited scope or focus only on tumor markers or cancer medicine testing. But the high profitability in having physician-owned practices refer testing to hospitals as outreach is at risk, because insurance companies aren't going to pay $125 for the CBC anymore."
In PAMA's first year, Schofield expects a 10 percent cut in Medicare reimbursement. "If the insurance companies are able to match that, then it will be painful." Further cuts of 10 to 15 percent per year are going to be disastrous, he says. "We're one of the most cost-effective labs in the country. I can probably make it to a third year of cuts, but then who knows?"
At rapidly growing TriCore Reference Laboratories, Albuquerque, NM, management has decided to adapt its business model to the new era. "Our theory is that selling an outreach program to the national labs is a disastrous decision long term," says TriCore CEO Khosrow Shotorbani, MBA, MT(ASCP). "Laboratory data is actionable and has predictive value. To sell the laboratory may be a short-term gain of capital but a long-term loss of major information that is critical as we move toward population health management and a value-based health care system."
Instead, TriCore is following a three-part plan: optimization, diversification, and transformation. "We have to do more than just traditional organic growth," he says.
The first step involves "eliminating waste, increasing volume, and ideally adding margin to the bottom line, and that includes rationalizing our relationships with payers and all our constituents." The second step, diversification, will further extend TriCore into the space of research and development and the management of private hospital labs. That will provide TriCore with volume with a margin, and longitudinal patient data to put into its patient information database (EMPI).
'Our theory is that selling an outreach program to the national labs is a disastrous decision long term.' — Khosrow Shotorbani, MBA, MT(ASCP)
The third step, Shotorbani says, is to "transform our business model to leverage interpretive or prescriptive lab data to risk-stratify populations, address care gaps based on established guidelines of disease management, identify patients at risk, and facilitate targeted intervention."
In line with Uber's model, which connects a passenger and destination to a car and a geocode, Shotorbani envisions the lab as "connecting actionable patient data to a patient to a geography to a physician and care manager." The shift he is seeking, however, would be to use lab data to intervene before the person is admitted to the ER or requires hospitalization. "Our focus is now moving toward the pre-disease state, as opposed to the disease state. We are moving away from reactive medicine focusing on sick care to proactive medicine focusing on health care and wellness."
With the longitudinal data TriCore can now access within its data repository, it has a unique view of trend lines that will link the laboratory to patients' pre-disease states. Employing this data, for example, "We will know in advance which diabetic in a particular zip code will potentially develop renal failure and we can facilitate an intervention." Payment for these laboratory services would be through a risk-sharing model and ultimately a gain-sharing model, "but we're starting the conversation with a per-member-per-month plan. Our new value proposition is a new product to serve to that population."
The CPT codes for this informatics business model, called "Clinical Lab 2.0," unfortunately don't exist yet, so Shotorbani hopes TriCore can package Clinical Lab 2.0 as data analytics backed by the profession of pathology. He plans to have New Mexico, where TriCore now has an 85 percent market share, function as a pilot test of the business model. (See "Laboratory 2.0: changing the conversation," CAP TODAY, July 2016.)
He calls on hospital labs to resist selling their outreach testing because it is a shortsighted decision on behalf of their health system, since hospitals have patient-centric data and commercial labs are striving to become part of the patient-centric payment model. But he predicts there will be more purchases. "Commercial labs are going to push the trend because they have a future vulnerability if they don't. They are losing business because physicians are becoming employed; they have to acquire the hospital labs to combat that trend," Shotorbani says.
For their part, hospitals find outsourcing attractive because of the capital that the commercial labs can offer. "The hospitals don't want to tap into their reserves because that has an impact on their bond rating—and health systems want to hold on to their bond rating; it affects the entire interest charged on their financing."
New Mexico may be five to seven years ahead of other states because of its landscape and economics, Shotorbani says, but he believes the Clinical Lab 2.0 model will translate well to other states, especially urban states that have access to rural data. Meanwhile, as health care systems struggle to plan amid such a large number of unknowns, and opportunities to shed their outreach programs, TriCore is "in it to win it."
"We're moving to become more of an agile organization, as opposed to doing long-term planning, because change is happening too frequently. We have to be more like IT companies: agile and innovative."
Some fear that the reimbursement declines around the corner are so serious that in five years, nobody will be left standing except Quest and LabCorp. Analysts interviewed by CAP TODAY don't expect that to occur (see part two in the August issue), but they advise labs to take action to make sure it doesn't.
Laboratory professionals must change the way they manage and oversee lab operations if they are going to stay current with new understandings about human resources, finance, communications, and business strategy, Newmark says. "How do we ensure development of future leaders of the lab and health care in general? It's not good enough to be just a strong laboratorian anymore. If you can't prove your value and show the metrics of that value, you're going to be overlooked, and one of the large labs will come in and will be doing lab services for you."
People are being a little cautious as they wait for clarity on what kind of Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance policies lie ahead, says consultant Paul Camara, a principal of Applied Management Systems. "They're all understanding that whatever happens, they will be paid less to do more. Controlling costs, from a system perspective, is an imperative you can't ignore." Nevertheless, he adds, "No matter what happens, if you continue to look for opportunities to partner or be more efficient through internal resources to be more cost-competitive, in the long run you'll be ahead of the game."

As I went back to school last week after six weeks just chilling I found myself highly demotivated (especially since a lot of things aren´t working the way I want them to). "That needs to stop, " I said to myself then yesterday. And today is the start of a new week. Why not try to be enjoying school as much as I´ve been last year?
To be honest, there´s no way to really love school, but you can make your school day a little bit easier with some of those tips.
Use the evenings
This might be the most important step to be organised. Pack your bag and plan the clothes you will be wearing the next day in the evening. This way you don´t have to worry about anything in the morning and you also can control if you did all your homework. Forgetting homework might be the worst thing you can do; your teachers will remember it, it will give you a bad grade and it is something you can do for yourself to internalize the stuff teachers talk about.
Set one realistic alarm
I was never one to set like 5 alarms to really get up. Once my alarm went off I can´t go back to sleep no matter how much I want to just because I worry that I might not get everything done. As Zoella (blog) pointed out it doesn´t make sense to train yourself to snooze your alarms. Set yourself one realistic alarm and then get up no matter how much effort it takes.
Also you can choose a fun song if you use an alarm app. A song that always makes you smile will help you to get a good mood though the early time. Such apps sometimes offer barriers (math assignment, etc.) you have to fulfill before you can turn them out. I prefer AlarmDroid as my alarm.
Make a "feeling good" playlist
A playlist with all the songs that make you smile (no matter how old those songs are) will keep your mood up when you get started in the morning. I love mine and I´m always leaving the house with a smile.
Have a shower
This will help you to really wake up. I also wash my hair every second morning while showering, but you don´t need to do that. Just the shower itself helps a lot. It´s an extra if you have a scented shower gel to push your mood. Trust me, a good mood is essential for a good day.
Eat breakfast
I love my healthy breakfast, but you don´t need to eat fruits with joghurt if you don´t like to. Just pick something that gives you energy for the day you will have to survive.
Take snacks with you
This is really important if you want to stay concentrated. I like to take some vegetables and fruits, but also bread with me. You can make the breaks worth a lot more if you take some chocolate bars (but not too much) or other sweets with you. And who doesn´t like eating? Eating cheers everyone up.
Use a calender
I have one of those specifically for school and homework and they are genius. Important for being organised is to note everything from an appointment to homework. I also use my calender to note down the things I have to do in the afternoon. This way I feel like I´ve really done a lot in the evening.
Have a scribble book
Let´s be honest, there just some subjects and teachers were you just can´t stay concentrated though you really, really try. For such matters pack a little notebook you can use for scribbles and notes you have in that lesson. But don´t try to play games with your partner, that´s really not the point of this. I can say that I noted down this list in a lesson and it made the lesson a little bit easier.
Set yourself realistic goals
If you are lazy or shy in school when it comes to raising your hand or just saying anything then don´t worry. I was like that a long, long time, but even I managed to turn this around. The best way is to make a list with all the subjects and everytime you raise your hand you get to make a dash. Now you can either set yourself as a goal to raise your hand like 3 times in every subject and if you achieved that you are allowed to eat that ice cream waiting for you at home or you set yourself a reward: when you´ve raised your hands 20 times in all subjects you can get an ice cream or whatever you want.
This list is also very helpful if you think you deserve a better grade.
Start learning early enough
Don´t wait until the last evening to learn for a test. Start 5 days earlier with going through your material and writing down everything you need to know. Then just look at this list every day a few times and try some excercises in your book or in the internet. This will get you well prepared and you don´t have to worry about it anymore.
No Rhythm
Don´t let yourself fall into a rhythm you have every morning. Really soon there will be no more fun involved. Change it up just a little bit everytime. Use a different make-up for you eyes or eat something different for breakfast. Add a little sport some mornings or give yourself the time to just check your Facebook some mornings.
Be open for spontaneous changes
There´s always a chance that something goes terribly wrong in the morning because you´re tired and your reflexes don´t work as well. It can be you spilling joghurt over your pants or you screwing your make-up. Stay up early enough to prevent yourself from having stress in the morning. A chilled morning in which you can maybe just paint your nails because you have time left is way better than a morning in which you don´t even have time to eat.
For me the morning is always the time when I´m most awake and it´s the time that defines my day. If I have a bad morning I will be very, very grumpy throughout the whole day. Just try to make your mornings matter more and with these tips there´s nothing in the way of a good day of school (except for yourself maybe).
Have a wonderful day

An off-duty Lexington police officer was hurt early Thursday at a Lexington Wal-Mart while trying to arrest a suspected shoplifter.
Officer Chris Carrington was working off duty at Wal-Mart at 500 New Circle Road when he was told about a shoplifter at 5:39 a.m., Lexington police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts said.
The suspect ran from the store and tried to get into the driver's side of a van in the parking lot.
Carrington struggled with the driver at the door. The driver got into the van and it pulled away, running over the officer's foot. At that point, the passenger shut the van off, removed the keys and jumped out.
The officer then went to the passenger side and used his Taser on the driver.
The driver, Robert Franklin, 46, of Lexington, is charged with robbery, third-degree assault and resisting arrest, Roberts said.
He was being held at the Fayette County jail.
Roberts said Carrington was scheduled to see a doctor Thursday.

My phone hardly ever rings. When it does, typically it's one of three people: my hubby, my mom or my sister. Lately though there's a new number that's making the list. I know it by heart now and each time those numbers pop up on the shiny screen of my phone, I cringe. Yeah. That good. Guess who it is? I'll give you three chances.
Work? Nope.
The fans beating down my door? Nope.
Publisher's Clearing House? Oh wait, they knock on the door. And no.
It's the school. More pointedly-it's the Elementary School Principal. Yeah, he and I? We're on a first name basis now. And it's not a good thing.
The number popped up on my screen again today and the typical sense of dread coursed through my veins. It's hard to be cheery when you know bad news is on the other line. But I paint on a smile any way (they say it actually transfers to your voice) and I answered. Oh the temptation to let it go to voice mail! But here's my thought on calls from the principal: it's kind of like ripping of a band aid. Better to just do it and do it fast than let it linger in the voice mail box all day.
Fortunately this new principal is amazing. Putting the kids in a new school was a stress we weren't looking forward too and apparently we're past the honeymoon phase with X-Man. Now his true colors are shining through like a technicolor jukebox blasting in the second grade classroom. Only this music maker isn't playing good 'ole Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash. Though mamma feels like a weepin' willow and I've got a healthy fear of Folsom.
But I digress. This principal-he actually asked for my opinion. He was up for suggestions instead of trying to shove policy and love and logic down my throat. And the biggest thing-he told me not to be discouraged. That I have a great kid. And that the hubs and I are making a difference. For the first time a call from the principal actually made me cry good tears.
So all you parents out there-you know who you are. The ones that the school has on speed dial and the bus driver can tail your car like a race car driver-yes you.
I know you're frazzled. I call them #MomDays. Days and experiences you become intimate with when you've got munchkins flitting out into the world. I know what you're thinking as you watch your kiddo walk out the door to wait at the bus stop. It usually goes something like this:splease please please PLEASE let him/her have a good day. And by good I mean please let me NOT get a call from the school. Am I right? Or maybe it's something like this: Well, there they go. All bets are off!
Either way-I know what you're feeling. I know what you're thinking when that number pops up on the screen. But when it all comes down to it, here's the deal: You can't make their choices for them. No matter what tools you give them-they are going to make their own choices. Good or bad. And that's not on you. What is on you is this: YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
A good one. An AMAZING one.
Because you show up. Each day. Every morning when that alarm clock goes off and you pour yourself a steaming cup of courage while you slather on the PB&J. You go to the conferences and the meetings. And you still take them to the park to blow off steam. Because even though there are consequences, there's still love. You reprimand, and then you remind them that they are smart. They have a big heart. And you know that they can make the right choices. Then you climb into bed and pray for a better day tomorrow.
And someday, that tomorrow will come. I promise. It may take awhile, but I can guarantee this: you will get there. Both of you. Because you're making a difference. And that difference lasts. Just remember that next time you get that phone call. And remember that you're not alone-I've got your back.

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Almost 60 million people worldwide were forcibly uprooted by conflict and persecution at the end of last year, the highest ever recorded number, the U.N. refugee agency said on Thursday.
More than half the displaced from crises including Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia were children, UNHCR said in its annual Global Trends Report.
In 2014, an average of 42,500 people became refugees, asylum seekers, or internally displaced every day, representing a four-fold increase in just four years, the aid agency said.
"We are witnessing a paradigm change, an unchecked slide into an era in which the scale of global forced displacement as well as the response required is now clearly dwarfing anything seen before," said UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres in a statement.
UNHCR said Syria where conflict has raged since 2011, was the world's biggest source of internally displaced people and refugees.
There were 7.6 million displaced people in Syria by the end of last year and almost 4 million Syrian refugees, mainly living in the neighboring countries of Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey.
"Even amid such sharp growth in numbers, the global distribution of refugees remains heavily skewed away from wealthier nations and towards the less wealthy," UNHCR said.

Product Highlights
Hawke Sport Optics delivered the 5-30x50 Frontier 30 Side Focus Riflescope specifically to address the needs of low-light and long-range precision shooters and hunters. To emphasize its goals, Hawke outfitted the scope with a large 50mm objective, which can scoop more light at dawn and dusk than an average scope, and the illuminated TMX reticle. The fully multi-coated optics offer 21 layers of anti-reflection coatings to further increase resolution and image brightness. Located on the 2nd focal plane is the etched-on-glass TMX Reticle with an illuminated crosshair. The crosshair has illuminated thin lines to 5 mil in each direction on the horizontal axis and 8 mil spacing, for hold-over, on the lower vertical axis with an additional 8 mil spacing on the upper vertical axis. The reticle also has a grid of aiming dots below the center, where dots are spaced at .5 mil intervals. The grid provides you with aiming points for any weather or situation, and allows you to adjust your shots quickly without using windage and elevation knobs. For added accuracy, you can easily correct the parallax effect from 30 yd to infinity with the adjustable objective ring. To help with compensation for wind and ballistic bullet drop, the riflescope offers 60 MOA of windage and elevation adjustment range and a 1/4 MOA per click impact point correction.
The scope's aluminum construction is centered around its 30mm single-piece maintube. It is filled with nitrogen for fogproof and waterproof performance. The overall design features a slender and unobtrusive shape with low-profile capped turrets. To prevent recoil-related zoom shift, the fast-focus eyepiece is outfitted with a high-torque zoom ring. To keep your scope's lenses protected from debris, dust, and dirt while it is not used, one objective lens cap and one ocular lens cap are also included. Other included accessories are a lens cloth, one CR-2032 battery, and screw-in sunshade.

With the major stress on excelling at sports and gymnastics, steroid addiction has grown to become a common problem in today's society. This is not a problem to hide or to be ashamed of, but it is a problem that needs help and mitigation plan in a proper pattern. Because of the risk of steroid withdrawal, you can't just stop taking steroids suddenly if your body has become familiar to taking them. Steroid addiction occurs any time that someone is using steroids without a valid medical reason to use the drugs. No drug is 100% safe and therefore they may cause side effects, not only while it is being taken, but also when you stop taking it. There are many queries arises: What are the facts regarding potential steroid withdrawal, how bad is it, and what can you do to reduce the risk of symptoms associated with such withdrawal? It has got shorter withdrawal period for oral steroids but for injectable you need to keep special supervision. It is not impossible to get rid out of it but it is definitely a time taking process.
There are two main types of steroids that are abused: anabolic steroids and corticosteroids. On the street, steroids are sometimes called: Juice, Pumpers, Stackers, Arnolds, Gym candy, Weight trainers. While there are some differences in the manner in which each type of steroid works, the symptoms, consequences, withdrawal, treatment and detox are the same for both types.It Is however important to look at the withdrawal pattern and shorter withdrawal period for oral steroidsmay help you keep yourself away from these drugs.
Withdrawal symptoms: Some of the most common steroid withdrawal symptoms include;
- headache
- anxiety
- muscle aches
- joint pain
- insomnia
- difficulties focusing or concentrating
- a sense of fatigue
- nausea, with or without vomiting
- depression
- lack of appetite and weight loss
Side effects and steroid withdrawal symptoms when stopping corticosteroids can be eased by gradually tapering off the drug. When it comes to anabolic steroids, factors may influence withdrawal symptoms. Anabolic steroids are synthetic drugs that have a similar structure to and behaviour of the male hormone testosterone. Factors that can influence the type and severity of anabolic steroid withdrawal symptoms depend on the type of steroid, the milligram strength, dosage, and frequency of dosage. Every withdrawal has different performance depending on Age, weight, and health status. The issue of withdrawal is not prevalent unless a person has been taking high doses, short-term or long-term. Depending on the severity of the misuse, or overuse, or abuse of an anabolic steroid, some individuals may experience severe despair or bouts of depression that may sometimes cause suicidal thoughts.
It is not necessary that symptoms of withdrawal be present immediately, but it will generally occur within five days of the last dosage of the steroid, and it will definitely depend on the half-life of that steroid. Therefore before taking any steroids, you must learn about their strength, their effect on the body, as well as the potential for addiction or overuse that can pay to steroid withdrawal symptoms.

New Pasta Brand and Freebies9:35 AM
Last Monday I hosted the monthly kitty party that my group of friends take turn to host, and decided to make a vegetarian pasta salad that was a big hit with everybody, the result of which being that my pantry became pasta less for the week, a glitch I had to rectify this weekend when we went grocery shopping of course.
I usually go for Del Monte or San Remo pastas because they are still fairly priced and still good quality enough not to disintegrate to much while cooking them, but my local supermarket is now carrying a new brand that caught my eye: Borges Pasta.
Now Borges I knew the name, it's a Spanish producer of olive oil, I had no idea they were doing pasta as well. And the only reason I noticed them in the shelves is because they came with a cardboard box labelled "Mediterranean Starter kit" which of course came free. That was enough to catch my attention, but for me to buy something the price need to be competitive too, and I turned the pack around searching for the elusive price tag to finally find it: 145 rupees for 500g of pasta, and that makes it in the same price range as my two favourite brand, so in the cart it went.
At home I opened the Mediterranean starter kit and here is what it contained:
It contained a small recipe booklet with easy vegetarian pasta recipes (and the option to make them non veg) some of them actually sound good enough for me to want to try them (and I usually don't like these free recipe booklets much).
A small glass bottle (yes glass!) of Borges olive oil which is the brand's main product, and two herb seasoning mix from Urban Flavorz which is apparently a new desi brand of herbs and spice on the block, the two mix in the kit are Pasta Seasoning, and Cheese and Italian herb seasoning, both being the mix listed in the ingredients of the booklet's recipes. Urban Flavours also included a small leaflet with the list of all their packaged herbs and spices and what they are normally used for while cooking, I'm going to try finding the crispy onion flakes and garlic flakes in their range one of these days.
I can't tell you how everything taste yet because I just bought it yesterday, but the whole thing looked cute and I had to take a picture and share it.
DH commented that pasta is becoming more and more popular in India these days and seem to go beyond the simple tomato sauce affair it once was. I pointed out that with more and more dual income families or even single income families with the office going parent having long commute leaving the other in charge of the house and kids for long shift, you could not blame the homemaker for wanting to spend less time sweating away in the kitchen, especially in nuclear families. And pasta provide a healthier option than Maggi at preparing a quick meal. Add to this the numerous cooking shows on TV and magazines coming with more and more easy recipes packed with fresh veggies and herbs and you have a new trend in the making. As I pointed before, plain pasta is pretty much at par with white rice when it comes down to nutritional values, and both fare the same when topped with a healthy home made fresh vegetable mix in gravy. Pasta Sauces are easy to make, versatile and your imagination is the limit. So what's not to love for the urban stressed out and pressed for time Indian?

Here we go, this is the first step into my new journey. I hope it will be a long and prosperous one. My name is Carlos, we'll keep it at first name basis for now, but we will get to know each other better later on. For now, I'll just be the one true Carlos. I've traveled a fair bit in my life, from Toronto to Spain and most of the Spanish speaking world really. I will try to tell you some of my stories. But before we get into some of those things I'd like you to do one small thing for me.
If you can, and I don't actually sound like it, but if you could think of me speaking with the voice of Morgan Freeman, that'd be greatly appreciated. I feel like the stories will have a greater impact if you do that. Stories that will range from me DJ'ing in the middle of nowhere, with people I never thought I would sit down and have a really giving conversation with, to me driving down one of the busiest roads you could ever imagine on my motorcycle. Oh how I miss her. My dear bike. Sometimes when I paint, I accidentally paint her without even knowing that I am doing it. Oh well.
As time flies and summer turns into winter, most of us will still be here. Take notice to the fact that I said most of us, because not everyone makes it over the winter. So I'd like for you to cherish the ones you hold dear, and actually the ones you don't hold so dear. Everyone deserves a bit of love every now and then.
I know this wasn't much of a lengthy start, but I've been told that you should always leave them wanting more.
Carlos out!

Albert Alexander looks like the kind of guy who would appreciate a good story. He has the tousled brown hair, the casual T-shirt and, on some days, a batch of brownies in front of Wells Hall.
He is not the only one drawn to the campus intersection. What happens at Wells changes daily, but do not be surprised to see a PETA protest with pictures of slain animals, various couples hugging and kissing simultaneously in honor of Personal Display of Affection Day or preachers enthusiastically announcing Bible versus while making your way to class. It has all happened at Wells before and it is people like Alexander who make the place curiously compelling.
Every once in a while, Alexander, a senior electrical engineering major, lugs out his table after one of his baking endeavors. He advertises "Tell A Story, Get A Brownie" and waits for people to take him up on the offer. "It takes a while sometimes, but people will talk to you," Alexander said.
He usually stays at his stand for two or three hours, listening to any story that people passing by are willing to tell. Sure, he cannot help judging a little bit. Sometimes people get really small brownies or told they can do better, but for the most part, he just likes talking to people and doing something personal. "It's so interesting how everyone fixates on different stuff. Some people launch right into a story about themselves. There's drugs, sex, bad first dates, crazy family stuff," Alexander said. [albert]
His favorite story was something a little more unexpected. A paleontologist came up to his table and told him about the time he had been studying an ancient PaleoHebric language, trying to figure out its origins. Most languages have their roots in other languages and can be deciphered after a while, but he had been studying this one for weeks and was unable to figure it out. He was out in New Mexico taking a break and lay down to look at the stars. "He said he just looked up and there was the alphabet," Alexander said. "They had used equal divisions of the sky. All the letters were out there."
Alexander has heard his share of other good stories too, like the Chinese girl who pierced her bellybutton herself and hid it from her family for seven years. When she was leaving for the U.S., her mom hugged her goodbye and started crying when she discovered the culturally taboo secret.
And the guy he met while holding his stand in Ann Arbor who had taken a bunch of methadone and wine to try to commit suicide. He woke up in the hospital five days later with both of his legs gone and decided to make something of the rest of his life.
There was even the unkempt professor with 25 pens in his pocket that told Alexander he had a story worth two brownies. It ended with him giving a business card with his name and the Playboy mansion emblem on it to the attractive woman sitting next to him on a plane back from Spain.
"I get all types of people. Sometimes it just takes a little persuading to get a story out of them," Alexander said.
What is it about Wells? With its central location on campus, the hall has become a hotbed for anyone looking to spread the word about their organization, protest a cause or, on occasion, dress up in a Chiquita costume.
Finance sophomore Ruslan Mursalzade put on a banana outfit on Oct. 14 to give out free hugs and flyers for S.C.O.U.T. B.A.N.A.N.A. (Serving Citizens Of Uganda Today Because Africa Needs A New Ambulance). The group is working on raising money to help orphans in South Africa. They hold dance-athons, T-shirt sales and events like "Capture the Banana" to raise funds. Wells was a good place for them to get the word out. "People are cool out here," Mursalzade said. "Especially when there's a banana walking around."
Journalism junior Michelle Grossman has also stood outside Wells to register voters before Michigan's Oct. 6 deadline. As Campbell Hall's vote captain, Grossman had already gone door-to-door registering people and letting them know about absentee ballots, but Wells had more traffic.
"A lot of people walk by there," Grossman said. "There are people coming in from all directions, going in and out of class." She was able to sign up 11 people in an hour and a half, a pretty good turnout for being so close to the end of the registration deadline.
To make an official appearance at Wells, registered student organizations have to fill out an activity form from the Office of Student Life in the Student Services building. Groups that are not registered are supposed to find a student organization to be their sponsor.
This usually is not a problem, but one has to wonder who sponsors the preachers who frequent the area and have turned more than one student away. "I see them all the time," astrophysics freshman Kristen Garofali said. "Sometimes I wear my iPod so I don't have to hear them, but they're terrifying."
Welcome Week brought some religious protesters who were uncomfortably upfront to the students walking by. "At the beginning of the year, there was a guy in an orange shirt saying sin was evil and getting in people's faces," elementary education sophomore Adam Clements said. "It was the most intense I've ever seen them."
Having Math 301 in the hall three days a week did not allow Clements to avoid them very easily. "I have a problem with those people because they do a lot of that stuff [that they're preaching against], too. It's such hypocrisy," Clements said. [adam]
Still, with positive events like Free Hugs Day, the Wells atmosphere tends to balance itself out. No one really knows what to expect when they go past on a daily basis, and that only adds to the appeal. "Even though there's offensive people, I know I'll see good things," Grossman said. "It's always entertaining as I walk to class."
Alexander has loved the spontaneity of his stand and wants to live in a city like Austin, Texas where that kind of impulsiveness is built into the culture. He is thinking about coming back and giving out cocoa in the winter and recently started a Tell A Story, Get A Brownie Facebook group. Even though he tries to plan times to set up, he sometimes runs into unexpected problems. "I'll tell my friends that I'll be out there next Thursday, but then no grocery store within two miles of my house will have unsalted butter," Alexander said.
And he does get the occasional doubt. Not everyone will trust free baked goods. "One girl made me eat a brownie with her," Alexander said. "I didn't mind too much."
But if the stand does show up again, be sure to ask him about the pygmy goat his family bought when he was ten. There's a harness and a pair of roller blades involved, and it definitely merits a jumbo brownie.
Albert Alexander looks like the kind of guy who would appreciate a good story. He has the tousled brown hair, the casual T-shirt and, on some days, a batch of brownies in front of Wells Hall.

ALBANY, Georgia – Cops are hunting an aggrieved customer who firebombed a Georgia Taco Bell because he was unimpressed by the amount of filling in his chalupas.
The suspect ordered two XXL chalupas but was not happy with the portion size when he got home.
A police report obtained by The Smoking Gun website says he rang the restaurant in Albany, southwest Georgia, to complain but the manager said it was closing and she couldn't help.
The suspect racially abused the manager and promised to "redecorate the place" before making a Molotov cocktail and heading back to the Taco Bell after 4:00am local time, the report said.
The makeshift bomb was hurled at the restaurant's drive-thu window causing a small blaze but nobody was hurt.
Police are still hunting the fast food-loving suspect.

For a start lots of that is personal opinion. So that varies between people. Some people have features that are more commonly seen as attractive however.
People have suggested the amount of symmetry a body has affects how 'good looking' they are with people who have more symmetrical faces being more attractive (to a wider group of people) than those who don't.
At the end of the day it is down to style, taste and their confidence. But there is some interesting science behind some of it!

Yep, I agree with Tom! It's all perception and I agree with the phrase "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

Yes, I agree with this too – someone can be attractive for lots of different reasons, not just looks!
Studies have found that looks are quite important though. Like Tom says, the more symmetrical someone's face is, the more attractive most people think they are. Scientists have done studies where they have shown people lots of different faces (ones that are supposed to be very attractive and less attractive) to see how that changes someone's behaviour toward a person. People were actually found to help attractive people more!

DR OCTAGON: 'Octagonecologyst' deluxe re-issue (2017)
Stumped for what to get your mum for Mother's Day? Unfurrow your brow – the answer is flowers of course! Blue Flowers to be precise. In fact why stop there? Why not go the whole hog and get her the full Octagonecologyst? Wait – what!? You're going to get your mother a hip-hop LP named after a torturous bit of word play on the word 'gynaecologist'?! Doctor what do you think? …I
PETE ROCK & CL SMOOTH: The Reminisce Over You (2017)
Reminisce over this my god! Yep – Pete Rock & CL Smooth's '91 slab of a jazzy boom-bap tribute to Rock's homie 'Trouble' T Roy of Heavy D & The Boys – They Reminisce Over You a.k.a. T.R.O.Y. is all set to get its first seven inch outing from the Get On Down label. Over on the flip is another cut from '92 classic LP Mecca & The Soul Brother –
THE BEATNUTS: 'Off The Books' 7″ (2017)
Get On Down hope to be making mad money on the books this year by continuing to provide vital services to 45-playing hip-hop djs. This time it's with a first-ever seven inch release of The Beatnuts' '97 cut Off The Books which featured fellow latino emcees Big Pun and Cuban Link. Much is made of Pun's opening verse and the track was also Cuban Link's first on-record performance
RUN-D.M.C: Run-D.M.C. (2016)
Next up for a deluxe re-issue from Get On Down is one of the most influential hip-hop LPs of all time – Run-D.M.C.'s Run-D.M.C.. To say that this self-titled debut was a wake up call for hip-hop would be an understatement. Out went the comfortable 'rhymes over hookless, seven-plus minute disco grooves' that had pretty much been the model from Sugarhill onwards; in came shorter track-
CYPRESS HILL: Cypress Hill Special 25th Anniversary Edition (2016)
Good lord! It's been a quarter of a century since that funky Cypress Hill shit first hit the public consciousness on their self-titled debut album and five years since the last anniversary re-release! Perhaps it's time to light another – er – I mean re-release it again. Which label will have their hand
BIG L: Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous (20th Anniversary)(2016)
It's another 90s hip-hop twentieth anniversary – which these days means it's time for another Get On Down prestige re-issue. Getting the treatment this time is D.I.T.C. affiliate Big L who sadly won't be celebrating the re-release of his debut LP Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous since he very much lived it like he rapped it and was the victim of a driveby shooting by an unknown assailant(s)
PETE ROCK & CL SMOOTH: 'All Souled Out' 25th anniversary re-issue (2016)
Rating: Hearing Pete Rock & CL Smooth's All Souled Out EP in 2016, you might be tempted to 'dip, dive, dip' but if you caught their 'gateway to the big time' release the first time around then there's an even chance that now you really might 'break a hip to the sound that's legit' since this record has just reached its quarter century. Which means of course that you're twenty-five years older. It also means that here is something ripe
JUNGLE BROTHERS: I'll House You/ On The Run 7″, t-shirt, double cassette (2016)
Stand aside with your rappers-over-house-beats shizz kids, Jungle Brothers did all that back in '88 before your dad was a glint in your grandad's eye. Not that that's going to stop deluxe re-issue label Get On Down bringing '88 back (not to mention 'housing' you) and continuing the bizarre fad for hip-hop 7″s with this re-press of the Todd Terry-produced I'll House You and the more
SCHOOLLY D: PSK (What Does It Mean)/ Gucci Time 12″ Colour vinyl re-issue (2015)
'PSK we're making that green/ People always say, "What the hell does that mean?"' What it means of course is that Schoolly D was bigging up his gang on one of the first gangsta records ever, thirty years ago! On the flip was the equally great Gucci Time. Yo Schoolly! What time is it? It's about that time for MC Schoolly D to start hummin' a rhyme, of course. Why? Because prestige hip-hop re-issue

Moving from supporting comic roles to a serious lead role, Srinivas Reddy is changing his game with his next title Jayammu Nischayammura. The filmmakers have released the trailer of the movie, which is slated for a release on November 25.
A small-town guy from an impoverished background gets a government job in the city. He promises his sick mother to return at the earliest with a transfer but somehow everything gets delayed. Meanwhile, he falls in love with a girl. Everyone seems to exploit his innocence, but he ultimately fights back the power to build self-confidence and regain his status. That's the story in one breath! JNR's trailer somehow gave us the entire plot rather than bits and pieces to lure the audience.
The story seems to be little clichéd, however, the film packs a lot of comedians including the lead himself. Krishna Bhagavaan, Posani Murali, Praveen and many others are on board for a comic drama. In the film, Praveen plays a character named 'Tatkal', a tout in the municipal office.
The film also seems to capture subtle nuances between the two Telugu states. The trailer, in the beginning, clocks back to 2013 talking about the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. The guy with different dialect throws hints that he comes from a village in Telangana who gets a job in Kakinada, a town in the coastal strip of Andhra.
Though Reddy has a lot of industry experience in playing comic characters, his new category playing a lead and a serious one is something that is new to the Tollywood audience.
