The Boston Pops Orchestra was founded in 1885 as a subsection of the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO), founded four years earlier. Careful examination of the rosters of "pops" or "Festival" orchestras, which are associated with a co-resident symphony orchestra in the same community, shows that the principal players of a "pops" ensemble usually hold the post of assistant or associate principal of the "parent" ensemble. In general parlance, the Boston Pops is described as: "The Boston Symphony minus the first-chair players." This "elite core" of BSO musicians constitute a separate subsection of the BSO, and perform alongside the Pops as the Boston Symphony Chamber Players, a 12-member ensemble founded in 1964.

The iPod's success is no secret, but analysts are intrigued by Mac market growth in a traditionally slow quarter.
(The Channel Insider)
Industry analysts examining
Apples Wednesday earnings statement
concurred that the most interesting information revealed was the strong growth of Macintosh computer sales. As discussed in Apple Computer Inc.s fiscal third quarter conference call, sales of Macintosh computers have risen 35 percent over the year-ago quarter, which gave the Apple products triple the sales rate of other computer vendors. "To me, there were two standout numbers" in Apples results, said Charles Wolf, a New York-based analyst at
Needham & Co. LLC.
(Wolf owns shares of Apple stock.) "Clearly, the iPod shipment number was an upside surprise from the consensus estimate," he said, but added that "more significant were the Mac shipping numbers."
Wolf said that up until the previous quarter, Mac sales were slow, "But now were seeing growth."

to read Apples plans to make Podcasting mainstream.
Wolf said he did not know whether the sales increase arose from the so-called "halo" effect from Windows users buying iPods and then buying Macs, or from people moving to the Mac platform due to rising concern over viruses and spyware. Either way, however, Wolf said, the numbers "would suggest that there are many Windows users switching." Similarly, Tim Bajarin, president and analyst for the Campbell, Calif.-based
Creative Strategies,
said, "You have to give Apple creditthe iPod is doing greatbut the surprise is that Mac sales are up."

about Apples decision to switch to Intel processors for the Mac.
The sales increase can be attributed to two things, Bajarin said. First was that the company was "more aggressive" in marketing its Apple stores, which Apple said should number over 110 worldwide by the end of the year. Bajarin said that the storefront presence not only encouraged people to have hands-on time with Macs, but exposed Windows-based iPod users to Macs, perhaps for the first time. The second reason, Bajarin said, was that Apple has continued to push its "switch" campaign, though more on a local basis through the stores than through national television marketing campaigns. "Apple has been great in using the stores to push the role of Macs in managing digital lifestyle issues," he said.

Whether you are considering franchising your business or are already an established franchisor, we will provide you with the best advice and guidance, tailored to meet your short, medium and long term aims. As the UK's largest and most respected firm of franchise consultants the Howarth Franchising Group have become the first choice advisors to prospective and practising franchisors in all industry sectors.
It is said that almost any business that can be run as a branch network can be franchised - that's not necessarily true, but if your business is suitable you could grow your network much more quickly and establish your brand using other people's money and enthusiasm by franchising your business.
[b]Should I Franchise My Business? [/b]
Using our own model of "franchiseability", we have developed a Five-Star Franchising Checklist, in order to ensure the basic requirements are met before we recommend franchising your business. These comprise:
[list:296e80f5d6]• A business which is proven to be successful in an established format, with a defined system, and a distinctive name and appearance
• A business which is easily duplicated - which means it can be set up in a sufficient number of locations to create a network which is manageable and profitable
• A business which can be easily learned in a reasonable period of time by someone with the required knowledge, skills and attitude to fit the desired franchisee profile
• A business which creates sufficient profits to satisfy both the franchisor and the franchisee
• A business which has, or can adapt to, a culture of mutual support and trust and in which the franchisor recognises their responsibilities to assist appropriately qualified people to create and operate businesses using a common brand and system[/list:u:296e80f5d6]
If the above prompts you into thinking "That's me, but how do I go about franchising my business?" you will need qualified professional advice from experienced franchise consultants.

I first removd the 2 screws that hold the base plate in place on the stove top. this allowed me to access the fan switch. I removed the old fan switch using a dike cutter to remove the old pal nuts keeping the old fan switch in place.I then put the new fan switch in place and added the pal nuts using a small socket and hand held driver to push the pal nuts onto the nut shaft.Generally, a pretty easy repair job that I ws able to complete myself and in doing so, probably saved upwards of $125. - $150.

The Qur'an is the sacred book of Islam. In the view of Muslims it speaks to all humanity (not just those who believe) but its message is often hard to grasp. Its unconventional structure makes it unlike any other book and its 114 suras (chapters) are not arranged in chronological order but according to their length. Its literary style is considered by Arabic speakers to be neither prose nor verse but something unique.
Muslims have been wrestling with the meaning of the verses and words of the Qur'an from the early days of Islam. Non-Muslims, meanwhile, often have wildly inaccurate notions of its content. These arguments and misconceptions are played out daily on the threads of Comment is free.
Through Blogging the Qur'an, we hope to try and untangle some of those meanings and misconceptions. Over the course of this year, Ziauddin Sardar - writer, broadcaster and cultural critic - will blog the book, verse by verse and theme by theme. There are plenty of theological forums on the internet where the Qur'an is discussed in great detail; our hope is this non-theological exercise will illuminate and inform the political and cultural discussions that take place day in and day out about the role of Islam in world affairs.
If the Qur'an is the source of the religion, then going back to the book should help all those who want to know more. To that end, Guardian writer Madeleine Bunting will help frame each week's discussion by putting the questions to Zia that non-Muslims in particular struggle with when trying to understand Islam.
Readers are welcome to email comments and observations, and we'll publish a selection each week which Zia will respond to. More details of how to join in can be found here.
Each blog will be linked to three translations of the Qur'an on the website of the University of Southern California. For more about the translations, click here.
Illustrations are supplied by the British Museum.

Designer Pitch Perforations
Geometric Patterns / Designer PatternsSAS are able to offer flexibility with the range of square pitch perforation patterns. Based on the standard range of square pitch patterns, the perforations can be grouped into squares to create a distinctive geometric effect.If you have a specific requirement please contact our technical department who will be able to advise you how to achieve your desired effect. Open Area and PerformanceWhen a designer pitch pattern is created from an existing square pitch pattern it adjusts the open area percentage.When grouping a 2516 perforation in 6s, it changes the open area from 16% to 12%. To show the change in perforation pattern the original perforation pattern open area is revised accordingly and the number is supplemented by a groupage number, for example G3 when the pattern is arranged in groups of 3. |

Drafting Prospects Rule - Opinions Please
I run a 12 team H2H keeper league. We\'re going into our 3rd season and everyone is, for the most part, quite happy. All of these people are also real life friends. We do not maintain separate prospect pools. Your average member of this league knows the difference between Jack Johnson and Erik Johnson, but probably would be just as inclined to draft Ales Kotalik as Milan Michalek (who is already taken, but I live in Sabres country, so it\'s an example). The average member of this league also is a big hockey fan but not quite to the level of, say, posters on this board. The majority of members are just as big football and baseball fans as they are hockey fans.
All that being said, I feel it\'s my job, as founder and commisioner, to come up with rules that help the league as a whole but that don\'t place too many restrictions on managers. For example, a few of us made a significant number of add/drops last season, including people still doing add/drops during the playoffs (no formal rule against it, so I didn\'t stop it) and I had proposed limiting the # of add/drops to something like 10-15 per team for the whole season. I thought there was going to be mutiny, even though the average team maybe made 10 moves after the first week or so of the season. A final compromise that looks like it\'s going to go through is no limit to add/drops but no add/drops after the trade deadline unless by commisioner approval for really dire circumstances (like all of your goaltenders go on IR or something like that). Anyway, after reading the example league rules posted on this site I became really interested in the idea of forcing prospects to be drafted as opposed to just picked up willy nilly on the waiver wire. Most managers hate the idea of the rule. They think it makes it more difficult to find \"diamonds in the rough\". Yeah, whatever. What they really hate is the idea that we\'re going to hand Nicklas Backstrom to a bottom 3 team as opposed to someone being able to add him right before the trade deadline on a first come/first served basis. My original proposal was that any player 22 or under on Sept 15 of the season who had played less than 25 NHL games would be ineligible for the waiver wire for the upcoming season unless drafted and subsequently dropped by a team. After a lot of discussion, I\'ve come up with a massively simplified version of the rule that I think accomplishes my purpose without everyone getting too libertarian on me. The rule would be that any prospect who was chosen with one of the top 5 picks in any of the previous 3 (so for this season that\'s 2005-07) NHL entry drafts and has played less than 25 NHL games must be chosen in this season\'s draft or they are ineligible for the waiver wire in our league. My entire goal is really just to make sure that the Crosbys/Ovechkins/Malkins/Staals/Heatleys/Gaboriks of the world get offered to weaker teams at the draft first. I think it\'s a good compromise for a league that\'s semi-serious (we do play for money) but not one where people want to be paying attention to #25 picks for 5 years following te draft. Thoughts?

Re:Drafting Prospects Rule - Opinions Please
One of the things I try to keep in mind is how much work is this going to cause me? In the pools I run, we had a young player clause allowing you to protect players 22 and under as long as they had played less than 82 games. I would have to look up the players birthdates and then do some math (which really taxes my brain) to figure out how old the player would be by the start of the next season. Then I would have to look up how many NHL games he\'s played. You get the idea, it turned into a fair amount of work that I could have spent working on making my team better.
I like your idea of having a prospects draft, but keep the rule simple for your own sake. I would go with your 25 games played rule and drop the age limit. A rookie in the best league in the world (NHL) is still a rookie regardless of how old he is. Good Luck Commish

Re:Drafting Prospects Rule - Opinions Please
I think I may need to clarify something. Although I state that we don\'t have a prospect pool, there is no intention of adding one.
The above rule that I was referring to proposing is for the standard draft. Not having a prospects pool to me saves a lot of work (there are only maybe 3 of us who would really be interested in it) so I\'m just trying to come up with a way to make sure that players who are likely to be quite high end have to be chosen through the draft. Hence the rule applying only to top 5 draft picks from the past 3 or 4 entry drafts who have no yet played 25 nhl games. I think it accomplishes what I want without being unduly cumbersome. Thanks for the input. |

There are many who read Mark 10:2-12 and Luke 16:18 (verses which appear to be clearly prohibiting divorce and remarriage for anything) and they would like to believe that viewpoint because in their conscience that seems how it should be. I am one such person. I believe that marriage is sacred and can only be broken by the death of one of the parties involved.
It is said that apologetics is a patient work. In defense of this view that "til death do us part" is in fact an accurate reflection of what the NT teaches, I ask your patience while you read this document. It will be a source of strength and Biblical confirmation to those who believe as I do and it may be a cause for reconsideration for those who believe that the NT does in fact allow divorce.
I am the author of the attached article. I invite those who desire to do so, to copy and distribute for discussion and consideration. The following is about one half of the document.
Jesus Does Not Allow Divorce (Part One)
When asked about divorce, Jesus based his prohibition of divorce on what is written in Genesis chapter two. Jesus used what was said with regard to Adam and Eve's marriage as the grounds to why divorce is not allowed. Their being "one flesh" in marriage had special meaning since Eve was literally one flesh with Adam, having been made from his own rib. But Jesus made the same pronouncement of "one flesh" on all subsequent marriages! This places all lawful marriages on equal footing with that first one. Though wives today are not made from their husbands' ribs, married couples possess the same status as if they were. As it was impossible for Adam to change the fact that he and Eve were one flesh, so it is equally impossible for any lawfully married husband or wife to change the fact that they also are "one flesh". The Apostle Paul understood this very well as we can see in Ephesians 5:28,29. He refers to the husband and wife being one flesh as a great mystery" whereby the wife is part of the man's own body. Also in1 Corinthians 7:39 and Romans 7:2,3, he very clearly states that only after the death of the husband may the wife marry again. The truth of this subject is accurately reflected in the old solemn phrase, "Till death do us part".
But did not Jesus allow divorce for the single reason of adultery? The following is an exploration of that assumption. Matthew chapter 5:
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Most people would agree that verse 32 is not very clear. It seems to be somewhat of a run-on sentence. And after looking at it for a while, one might say that its exception clause ("saving for the cause of fornication") causes it to appear somewhat self-contradictory. However, its context offers substantial help: In six places in Matthew chapter 5, verses 21, 27, 31, 33, 38, and 43, Jesus says "It hath been said" or "it was said", as we see in verse 31 above. And to each of these he makes an answer like: "But I say unto you... ". Many have not discerned the spirit in which Jesus is speaking in this chapter and have stumbled on his words in verse 32. They have interpreted them legalistically by supposing that Jesus meant 'adultery' when he said 'fornication'.
One of the explanations of being legalistic is when someone takes the particular words that are used and reckons them to mean something other than what the spirit and context is truly saying. As the Jews did not correctly understand God because they stumbled on "the letter" of the Old Testament, so likewise, many Christians today have accepted a major heresy on the subject of divorce and remarriage because they have stumbled on the wording of Jesus' exception clause.
Unregenerated human nature is also a factor to consider in understanding how the scriptures are incorrectly interpreted. In Luke 16:14-19 (17,18) Jesus' rebuke to the Pharisees for their covetousness is tied in with a denouncement of their allowing divorce. Pride and discontent are often at the root of both of these sins.
If the assumption that Jesus meant adultery when he said fornication is indeed true, then Matthew 5 verses 31 and 32 would be the only one of the six topics in that chapter where Jesus lets a partial allowance remain. In reality however, the context indicates that his wording in verse 34; "But I say unto you ... not at all" nicely sums up the answer to the question of whether or not any of those six deeds are allowed. In verses 21 and 22 where Jesus addresses killing, we find that we are not even to be angry with our brother without a cause. In verses 27 and 28, on adultery, we find that we are not even to let it be in our heart. In verses 33 and 34, on forswearing and oaths, we are to "swear not at all". In verses 38 and 39, on "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth", we are not to do that at all. In verses 43 and 44, on hating our enemies, we are to rather love them.
Now in going back to verses 31and 32, on divorce; are we being told that if our wife commits adultery we may divorce her if we so choose? If that were indeed true, then verses 31 and 32 would also be the only one of the six where we are being given a choice! All the others are spoken straightforwardly in a graceful form of commandment, as Jesus the great reformer, ministers the New Testament. See Matt. 5:19 and Heb. 9:10 (Rom.14:17 Col. 2:8 John 16:8)
This assumed choice given to the man to divorce his wife for adultery, not only violates Jesus' mode of speech and consistent train of thought, but also amounts to nothing less than allowing the man to harden his heart and not forgive. Consider these scriptures: "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Eph. 4:31,32. "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matt. 6:14,15. See also Matt. 18:21-35, (32,33). If Jesus' exception of fornication is indeed a liberty to divorce a married wife for adultery, then an exception must be made for these and all other similar references concerning forgiveness when applied to the sin of adultery. (A little leaven leavens the whole lump).
The divorce-for-adultery pro-choice advocates are in effect making the statement that such references about forgiveness are deceptive to the common reader. They apparently believe that those scriptures are not necessarily applicable to the sin of adultery. It would seem they would have us believe we are in need of their assumed superior knowledge. To us, Jesus' teaching on forgiveness appears by every indication to pertain to all trespassers, including wives who have committed adultery. Is this not strangely reminiscent of the misguided professing Christians of the 14-1500's who felt that without their learned guidance, the common man or woman would be misled by reading the scriptures?
By the above references, and especially in Eph.4:31,32, it is sound to conclude that tenderness of heart goes along with the act of forgiving, in the same way that hardness of heart goes along with unforgiveness. In Matt. 19:8 and Mark 10:4,5, Jesus states that the precept written by Moses allowing a man to divorce his married wife (Deut. 24:1-4) was written for the hardness of their hearts. Is divorce a product of hardness of heart as Jesus said, or is it not? In Matt. 5:31,32, Jesus is referring to that same precept given by Moses: "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you... ".
How could the New Testament teach such things that we have read on forgiveness and also that Moses' allowance for divorce was written solely because of the hardness of their hearts; and at the same time allow divorce? Would God emphatically state that he hates divorce (Malachi 2:16) and then command his Son to make divorce a personal preferential thing of choice? The New Testament never allows what God hates. If the exception of fornication means allowing divorce on the grounds of adultery, then Jesus by his own admission is allowing hardness of heart and unforgiveness towards the wife if she commits adultery.
Furthermore, since by the New Testament, his laws of truth are written in the hearts of the believers (Heb. 8:10 Rom. 8:4 John 1:17), if divorce for adultery is legal, then hardness of heart and unforgiveness has also been written in our hearts in regard to adulterous wives.
There are worse trespasses than adultery that a wife may commit. If Jesus' exception of fornication is assumed to pertain to the married wife, then fornication is defined to mean adultery. It would then seem reasonable to conclude that if she were to commit an offence other than adultery, her husband couldn't put her away for that because it is not the specified offence. But what if that other offence is worse than adultery? Wouldn't that cause Jesus to appear unfair and unreasonable? This kind of argument could be levelled at Jesus if he had allowed divorce in the married state for adultery or for any other specific sin because there will always be a sin which is at least as severe as the one which has been specified. Divorce would thereby be allowed for one sin but not for another, which may be even worse.
Someone will now say that if she were to commit something worse than adultery, it should be understood that the husband has the right to divorce her for that also. But if this were true, Jesus then appears not to have said what he meant and not to have meant what he said. However, these valid arguments, which reveal that Jesus would have been unreasonable and inconsistent if he had allowed divorce for any specific sin, cannot be used against him because his exception clause does not at all pertain to the married state as will presently be shown.
Though many have stumbled on Matt. 5:32 by assuming that the phrase, "saving for the cause of fornication" means that adultery is a legal grounds for divorce, there have also been many who have discerned the spirit in which Jesus spoke in Matthew 5 and have concluded that it does not seem that Jesus could have been allowing divorce. After all, he gave no partial allowance to any of the other five subjects that he addressed in that chapter. As for the exception, they honestly say they don't understand it. They find consolation in Mark 10:2-12 and Luke 16:18, where Jesus gives no indication whatsoever that an exception to the married state exists. In fact, those verses seem to be unquestionably against the slightest notion of divorce.
With the apparent prohibition on divorce (Mark 10:2-12 and Luke 16:18) set alongside the exception of fornication (Matt. 5:32; 19:9) it is understandable how the exception of fornication could appear at first, and perhaps for a long time afterward to be a thoroughly confounding problem. The question may be asked: "Is there an exception or is there not?" However, a more appropriate question, which at first seems unworthy even to consider, holds the key to the understanding of this issue. It is as follows:
Is it possible that the apparently more easily understood teachings in Mark and Luke are to be accepted at face value without adding anything, and at the same time, some form of exception happens to exist which does not conflict with those straightforward prohibitive statements in Mark and Luke? In other words, could Jesus' apparent outright prohibition on divorcing the married wife stand unmovable while at the same time some form of exception happens to exist, which does not oppose that outright prohibition? Could there be found some largely unnoticed Biblical evidence that would shed some light on the subject so that we could see that an exception does exist but at the same time there is "no exception"? You can see now what I mean when I say it is a question that seems unworthy even to consider. Unfortunately for those who have not asked themselves that question and thereby have not discovered its potential, but have assumed and taught that Jesus meant adultery when he said fornication, the answer to that question happens to be a very loud and provable 'yes'.
Let me illustrate with a hypothetical situation. You are working, unloading large bags of grain by hand. A notice on the wall states, Whosoever Tears a Bag Must Pay the Cost of Contents. Suppose that as you bring a bag to your shoulder, it slips, and in an attempt to grab it, a large section of the bag rips off before it hits the floor. It would not seem possible that this could happen without your being found guilty. But there is a way, by virtue of a previously unknown factor whereby you would be judged as not violating the true intent of the notice. How could this be? The answer is very simple. You would not be found guilty if the bags were all double-walled and after tearing and hitting the floor, the grain was still very well contained within the remaining layer. The phrase "tears a bag" was expected to be understood to mean that if a bag tore, the contents would spill on the floor.
Let us say also that after tearing only the outer layer and hitting the floor, (the grain being yet very well contained), some of your fellow labourers are uncertain on whether or not you should still pay, since technically you did tear a bag. Therefore, the man in charge, in order to avoid such a misunderstanding, changes the notice so that it reads;
Whosoever tears a bag, unless it is only the outer layer, must pay the cost of contents.
This hypothetical scenario does not pretend to cover all the aspects to be discussed about Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9. There are hypothetical statements that could be brought out which are grammatically similar in construction to Matt. 5:32 and 19:9. These show in a straightforward manner the effect of an exception clause inserted within such statements. They also show how certain kinds of exception clauses (such as those we find inserted in Matt. 5:32: 19:9) may apply to a closely associated aspect of the subject and not to that aspect which is being directly addressed. However, in this present scenario, the main purpose is to show how separate true statements made about a particular situation may seem to be totally contradictory and unquestionably irreconcilable, simply because an unknown duality exists pertaining to the situation.
The bags being double-layered was the unknown duality which in effect made it possible to tear a bag without tearing a bag. It was torn, but not after the intended meaning of the notice. The unknown duality concerning Matthew 5:32 and 19:9 lies in the fact that there were two kinds of wives; 1) the betrothed or espoused wife, and 2) the completely married wife. Therefore also, there were two kinds of divorce. While Jesus upheld the liberty practised by the Jews to divorce their unmarried betrothed wives for their fornication (in which case the husband would divorce "his wife" before he married her), he prohibited the divorce of the completely married wife for whatever reason. We can see by this how it is possible to divorce without divorcing.
About the closest comparison with this to modern culture would be the scenario of a man breaking off the marriage plans after discovering that his engaged wife-to-be has fornicated. In old time, this would have been regarded as a divorce on the grounds of fornication. (For Biblical proof that the words "husband" and "wife" and "put away" applied to both the married and unmarried couple, see Deut. 22:23,24 "virgin" "betrothed" "husband" "wife". Deut. 20:7 "taken". Matthew 1:18-24; verses 19 "put her away" and 20 "take... Mary thy wife" and 23 "virgin").
Another point this scenario serves to highlight is in regard to the question of why Jesus mentioned the exception at all since it doesn't pertain to the married state anyway. In answering this we should again consider how an exception clause may apply to a closely associated aspect of a subject and not to that aspect which is being directly addressed. Though Jesus was directly addressing the married state (which is proven by Matthew 5:31) the closely related state of betrothal warranted the insertion of the exception clause. Since there were two kinds of wives that could be divorced, Jesus clarified himself by including the exception clause. In the above scenario, not just any tear required payment. It had to be a complete tear. So likewise, not just any divorce constitutes a transgression of God's law. What God hates, is the divorcing of the completely married wife.
By the context of Matthew 19:4-6 and Mark 10 6-9, it is easy to understand that the husband and wife to whom God says "Let not man put asunder" are those couples who have been pronounced by God to be one flesh by virtue of lawful marriage. That pronouncement was not intended for the betrothed unmarried husband and wife. Though the exception clause, which allows "divorce" is found in the context of the married state, it does not pertain to the married state. Since betrothal was so closely associated with marriage itself, inasmuch that in betrothal the man and woman were regarded as husband and wife, it seems that Jesus' strong words concerning divorce could have been wrongly perceived to also prohibit the customary divorce of the betrothed wife for fornication. The exception clause would have prevented that misunderstanding.

Team Rapha-FOCUS On the Road
Pack the bikes, pack the kit, make the flight. Travel from one venue to the next. Unpack the bikes, unpack the kit. Dirty them both to what looks like beyond repair. Clean it all then pack it all away again. Travel to the next venue. Do it all over again. The only differences being the courses and whatever the weather decides to throw at you. Possibly a change in the local flavor, a different selection of beers and whatever snacks are offered up alongside the course. This past weekend at US Gran Prix of Cyclocross I am guessing that it must have been Spotted Cow and bags of cheese curds.
The Cyclocross racing goes in quick succession after Cross Vegas. The heat as well as the speed possibly get turned down on the weekend after. Although looking at the results, not by much. One thinks that it must be hard to travel around the country competing at such a high level. But, then again, this is what these men and women signed up for.
Keep an eye on the Rapha-FOCUS website as the season progresses. Currently there is a Cycling Dirt video interview with Chris Jones during the number presentation at the USGP Planet Bike.

text: May 1, 2012 Farzad Mostashari, MD, ScM National Coordinator for Health Information Technology Department of Health and Human Services Hubert H. Humphrey Building, Suite 729D 200 Independence Ave. SW Washington, DC 20201 Re: 2014 Edition EHR Standards and Certification Criteria Proposed Rule (RIN 0991AB82) Dear Dr. Mostashari: On behalf of The Hospital & Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP), which represents approximately 250 member institutions across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we appreciate the opportunity to comment on the 2014 Edition EHR Standards and Certification Criteria Proposed Rule published in the March 7 Federal Register (RIN 0991AB82). While HAP strongly supports the adoption and use of electronic health record (EHR) to improve patient care, we have significant concerns with some of the Stage 2 meaningful use recommendations being proposed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) proposed approach to standards specifications and EHR certification. Congress established the Medicare and Medicaid EHR incentive programs in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to provide much needed funds to support the transition to an e-enabled health care system. HAP shares the goal of the EHR incentive programs: advancing adoption and use of EHRs to improve health care by providing needed financial support. However, the vast majority of hospitalsmore than 80 percenthave not yet met Stage 1, due to both the high bar set and market factors, such as increasing costs and limited vendor capacity. Evidence also suggests that the digital divide is widening, with larger hospitals reaching much higher rates of adoption than smaller and rural facilities. Given the experience to date in Stage 1 in Pennsylvania, HAP is concerned that elements of the CMS and ONC proposed rules for changing meaningful use requirements and technology stand in the way of a successful program to support widespread adoption by all hospitals in our state. Many of the proposals put regulatory requirements ahead of actual experience with these technologiesan approach that will likely have unintended consequences. Our major concerns and recommendations regarding the ONC proposed rule are summarized below. Technology Flexibility: HAP appreciates ONCs recommendation for reducing the burden of providers needing to have software they do not need or plan to use. However, we believe this policy change should be effective when the ONC rule is finalized, rather than in 2014. Certification Stages: HAP does not support ONCs recommendation that all EHR technology certification be based on the most recent standards and certification criteria. Rather, we believe that certification requirements should be tied to a providers stage of meaningful use and not the calendar or fiscal year. Certified EHR Technology: ONC should ensure that all future certification criteria for electronic health record technology be able to facilitate the completion of current and prior stage objectives and measures (i.e., backward compatible with earlier stage standards and criteria). This would allow providers that are in Stage 1 to choose which level of certification works best for them. Clinical Quality Measure Accuracy: HAP appreciates ONCs proposal to ensure the accuracy of clinical quality measures data collection and calculations as part of certification. However, we believe that for an EHR product to achieve certification it should demonstrate its capability to correctly calculate and report all clinical quality measures finalized by CMS. We recommend that ONC maintain the current requirement that vendors certifying for the hospital sector be tested for all clinical quality measures as part of certification (rather than just one). Note that we are recommending that CMS defer adding new measures until Stage 3, given all of the challenges hospitals have faced with these measures in Stage 1. Health Information Exchange: HAP recommends that ONC work with testing bodies to develop robust testing of vendor products ability to conduct exchange that would be required for certification. This level of testing would eliminate the need for the CMS measure on providers related to their ability to share Consolidated Clinical Document Architecture at transitions in care with recipients using a different EHR vendor. SNOMED: HAP believes that it is premature to require only Systematized Nomenclature of MedicineClinical Terms (SNOMEDCT®) for problem list coding. We support the optional use of the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD10CM) or SNOMED-CT for problem list coding. We also recommend that ONC conduct a systematic study of the benefits and costs of mandatory use of SNOMED and, if warranted, establish a plan for a more orderly transition over time that identifies resources needed to support adoption by providers.Web Content Accessibility Guidelines: HAP recommends that ONC conduct a study of the feasibility and implications of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines in the health care industry before requiring their use. LOINC: Please confirm that the use of Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) is limited to where available, which would be consistent with Stage 1. In addition to the issues identified above, HAP believes ONC needs to significantly increase its efforts to educate and support providers on the content and use of the standards they have put forward, as recommended by the HIT Standards Committee. We also feel that since eligible hospitals and providers are increasingly dependent on their EHR vendors ability to retool their products to meet changing certification requirements and have their products certified under new requirements, on a going-forward basis, ONC should publish final certification rules at least one year before vendors are required to be certified, and three years before providers need to be using the products.Pennsylvanias hospitals want to move toward a health care system where all hospitals meaningfully use EHRs to improve patient care and safety and achieve national goals for improved health. HAP believes the recommendations outlined in this letter, as well as, the American Hospital Associations (AHA) more detailed comments fulfill the goals of the ARRA legislation to use stimulus funding to advance the use of health IT and offer a constructive and positive pathway to national EHR adoption. We urge you to accept these recommendations and include them in the final rule.Thank you for the opportunity to share our concerns and comments.
