Brussels, 30.4.2008
COM(2008) 227 final
On the application of Regulation (EEC) No 95/93 on common rules for the allocation of slots at Community airports, as amended
On the application of Regulation (EEC) No 95/93 on common rules for the allocation of slots at Community airports, as amended (Text with EEA relevance)
On 21 April 2004 the Parliament and the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 793/2004[1] amending council Regulation (EEC) No 95/93 on common rules for the allocation of slots at Community airports (the "Regulation"). The amendments were aimed at improving the efficient use of scarce capacity at congested Community airports, while not fundamentally altering the existing system of slot allocation. To that end Regulation (EC) No 793/2004 introduced new provisions with regard to market access and new entrants, enforcement and the independence of the coordinator.
The obligation laid upon Member States to ensure the introduction of sanctions to prevent slot abuse at coordinated airports has fostered a better use of existing capacity. The process of slot allocation has been improved through a number of new or modified provisions, such as a new definition of what constitutes a series of slots, further strengthening of the use-it-or-lose-it provisions, the possibility for air carriers to re-time slots before allocation to optimise schedules, and more leeway for Member States to introduce local rules and guidelines at congested airports to improve the efficient use of scarce capacity.
Despite these new provisions, stakeholders and Member States consider that a number of provisions are still not fully or completely implemented.
This conclusion is underpinned by the Commission Report on the application of the slot Regulation[2], which concluded that there is a need to ensure better implementation in a number of areas with which stakeholders have experienced particular difficulties.
First, despite the obligation on Member States to guarantee the functional and financial independence of the coordinator at coordinated airports, there still appear to be cases of insufficient application of these requirements in some Member States, which could impede the coordinator's functioning under the Regulation in a neutral, non-discriminatory and transparent way.
Second, in some Member States significant problems remain with ensuring full transparency of the information that coordinators and schedules facilitators hold regarding historical, requested, allocated and available slots. This could hinder a more efficient use of slots and distort competition as not all interested parties may have the same degree of access to this schedule data.
Third, while local guidelines have the potential to allow for the better use of the existing slots at coordinated airports, it should be ensured that they comply with Community law.
Fourth, at a number of congested Community airports, air carriers exchange slots for monetary and other consideration. Some doubts have been raised regarding the compatibility of such exchanges with the Regulation.
Finally, there is a greater need for effective consistency between slots and flight plans in order to avoid slot abuse and to guarantee compliance with the Regulation, as evidence suggests that verification of flight plans against slots rarely takes place in a systematic manner, even though the possibility to do so is provided for in the Regulation.
The purpose of this Communication is to state the Commission's views with regard to above mentioned issues. This Communication draws from -and elaborates on- the Commission's, Member States' and stakeholders' experience with the application of the revised Regulation since its entry into force on 21 April 2004.
Article 4(2)(b) of the Regulation states that "the Member State responsible for a coordinated airport shall ensure the independence of the coordinator at a coordinated airport by separating the coordinator functionally from any single interested party. The system of financing the coordinator's activities shall be such as to guarantee the coordinator's independent status".
Article 4(2)(c) further provides that Member States must ensure that "the coordinator acts according to this Regulation in a neutral, non-discriminatory and transparent manner".
The Commission considers that the independence of the coordinator is essential for it to properly carry out its task in accordance with the requirements laid down in Article 4(2)(c).
The Commission is of the view that functional separation means inter alia that the coordinator should act autonomously from, not be instructed by, and not have a duty to report back to the airport managing body, a service provider nor any air carrier operating from the airport concerned.
The Commission further considers that the system of financing the coordinator's activities should be set up in such a way that the coordinator is financially autonomous from any single party directly affected by -or having an interest in- its activities. The coordinator should therefore keep separate accounts and budgets and not rely for the financing of his activities only on the airport managing body, a service provider nor a single air carrier.
Article 10(6) of the Regulation provides that slots placed in the pool set up by the coordinator in accordance with Article 10(1) must be distributed among applicant air carriers. 50% of these slots must first be allocated to new entrants, as defined by Article 2(b), unless requests by new entrants are less than 50%. The coordinator must treat the requests of new entrants and other carriers fairly, in accordance with the coordination periods of each scheduling day.
The question has been raised whether the obligation laid upon the coordinator to allocate the slots from the pool on a precise 50/50 basis, as provided for in Article 10(6), relates only to the initial allocation from the pool about four months before the start of the relevant summer and winter scheduling seasons, or whether this also applies throughout the scheduling season. It has been argued that Article 10(6) relates only to the initial allocation from the pool and that thereafter coordinators could seek to provide a broadly balanced allocation at their own discretion.
The Commission observes that the Regulation, neither in Article 10(6) nor in any other provision, limits the scope of this Article to the initial allocation of slots prior to each scheduling season. The Commission, therefore, is of the view that the provisions of Article 10(6) should be applied permanently and continuously, throughout the scheduling seasons.
Article 4(7) of the Regulation provides that "all schedules facilitators and coordinators shall cooperate to detect inconsistencies in schedules".
Article 4(8) further provides that "the coordinator shall on request and within a reasonable time make available free of charge for review to interested parties, in particular to members or observers of the coordination committee, either in written form or in any other easily accessible form, the following information:
(a) historical slots by airline, chronologically, for all air carriers at the airport,
(b) requested slots (initial submissions), by air carriers and chronologically, for all air carriers,
(c) all allocated slots, and outstanding slot requests, listed individually in chronological order, by air carriers, for all air carriers,
(d) remaining available slots,
(e) full details on the criteria being used in the allocation".
The Commission considers that transparency of information is essential for ensuring an objective procedure for slot allocation and for guaranteeing that the coordinator acts in accordance with the requirements of Article 4(2)(c). The Commission therefore calls upon Member States to ensure that coordinators fully comply with the requirements laid down in Article 4(8).
Given that slots are needed by an air carrier at both ends of a flight serving coordinated airports and given that schedules should be consistent to ensure an efficient use of airport and airspace capacity, the value of the schedule data mentioned in paragraph 8 of Article 4 hinges to a large extent on the cooperation of schedules facilitators and coordinators as set out in paragraph 7 of the said Article.
The Commission recalls that European coordinators have jointly developed a combined database that contains the data of all slots they have allocated. The data is supplied by almost all coordinators and schedules facilitators and is accessible online and free of charge to all air carriers. The value of the database relies on accurate, complete and up-to-date data. Proper provision of schedule data to the database by coordinators and schedules facilitators is therefore pivotal and indispensable to facilitate effective collaboration between the actors, contributing therefore to the fulfilment of their obligations under Article 4(7) and 4(8).
The Commission therefore calls on Member States to encourage all coordinators and schedules facilitators to submit their schedule data to the combined database.
Article 8(5) of the Regulation provides that "the coordinator shall also take into account additional rules and guidelines established by the air transport industry world-wide or Community-wide as well as local guidelines proposed by the coordination committee and approved by the Member State or any other competent body responsible for the airport in question, provided that such rules and guidelines do not affect the independent status of the coordinator, comply with Community law and aim at improving the efficient use of airport capacity. These rules shall be communicated by the Member State in question to the Commission".
Article 5(1) and (3) further provides that local guidelines shall be proposed by the coordination committee at the request of any of its members and in accordance with its rules of procedure as provided for by Article 5(3).
As envisaged expressly in Article 5(1)(a) of the Regulation, local guidelines may take into account possible environment concerns, including those relating to noise. However, any operating restrictions based on such concerns must be compatible with Community law.
The Commission considers that, in particular, they should comply with Article 9(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 on access for Community to intra-Community air routes[3], which requires inter alia that restrictions must be non-discriminatory on grounds of nationality or identity of air carriers and not unduly distort competition between air carriers.
In addition, operating restrictions aimed at noise reduction should comply also with Directive 2002/30/EC on the establishment of rules and procedures with regard to the introduction of noise related operating restrictions at Community airports[4].
Article 8a(1)(c) of the Regulation states that "slots may be exchanged, one for one, between air carriers".
Where there is no transparent market for the scarce resource of slots at congested airports, incumbent air carriers are often not aware of, or confronted with, the full opportunity costs of the slots they hold. As a consequence an air carrier may retain a slot even when its market value far exceeds the value that the air carrier generates from retaining and using the slots.
This, in turn, implies that the number of slots made available both to new entrants and to incumbent air carriers seeking to add services may be lower than it otherwise would be. Against this background it would seem that the application of the Regulation has still not consistently led to the most efficient use of slots.
However, the Commission recognises that exchanges of slots for monetary and other consideration, more commonly referred to as secondary trading, are taking place at a number of congested Community airports. This has had certain advantages, notably in allowing the creation of additional services on specific routes.
The text of the current Regulation is silent on the question of exchanges with monetary and other consideration to reflect differences in value between slots at different times of day and other factors. Given that there is no clear and explicit prohibition of such exchanges, the Commission does not intend to pursue infringement proceedings against Member States where such exchanges take place in a transparent manner, respecting all the other administrative requirements for the allocation of slots set out in the applicable legislation.
If it becomes apparent that for competition or other reasons revision of the existing legislation is required, the Commission will make an appropriate proposal.
Article 14(1) of the Regulation provides that "an air carrier's flight plan may be rejected by the competent Air Traffic Management authorities if the air carrier intends to land or take off at a coordinated airport, during the periods for which it is coordinated, without having a slot allocated by the coordinator".
Experience has shown that verification of flight plans against airport slots in particular allocated to general aviation by Air Traffic Management authorities and coordinators does rarely take place in a systematic and consistent manner.
As set out in the "Action plan for airport capacity, efficiency and safety in Europe"[5], the Implementing Rule on Air Traffic Flow Management, which is scheduled to be adopted by the Commission in 2008 on the basis of Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 551/2004 on the organisation and use of the airspace in the Single European Sky[6], will provide for a mechanism aimed at increasing the consistency between slots and flight plans.
Effective consistency between requests for single slots and flight plans has become increasingly relevant in particular for general and business aviation flights, which by definition operate unscheduled services often outside the allocated slot bracket or even without having obtained a slot from the slotpool in advance. As a result, these ad-hoc flights may interfere with the proper operation of coordinated airports, where slots tend to reflect flight plans and where air carriers are required to operate in accordance with the slots allocated to them.
The Commission hopes that this Communication will stimulate a better use of scarce capacity at coordinated Community airports.
The Commission will continue to monitor the functioning of the Regulation and will concentrate on ensuring proper implementation of the Regulation by Member States.
In the light of this monitoring, the Commission will consider whether it is necessary to make a proposal to amend the Regulation.
The Commission will continue to facilitate the involvement of stakeholders and Member States in further developments regarding slot allocation. In this respect, the Community Observatory on airports, which will be set up in the coming months, will serve as a forum in which all qualified parties will be in a position to effectively tackle slot issues.

Participatory Investment Dinner will Fund High Country Farmer and Food Producer Projects |
Written by Submitted | ||||
Thursday, 17 October 2013 14:21 | ||||
Supporting Economic Alternatives in the Mountains (S.E.A.M.) announces their first participatory investment dinner on November 10, 2013 at CoBo Sushi Bistro & Bar at 6:30PM. Join a local food dinner where community members direct funding by voting on emerging farmer and food producer projects. Partners for the dinner include Appalachian State University's Power Shift team, Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture, CoBo Sushi Bar & Bistro, and High Country Local First. This unique dinner will foster relationships between community members and emerging High Country farmers and food producers in need of funds. Following presentations by three selected applicants, community attendees will vote on allocation of total remaining proceeds from the dinner to each of the proposals. Any project idea may be submitted, from infrastructure improvements to conferences, which will help applicants develop and grow as food producers. "We hope S.E.A.M. will ignite conversations about innovative projects in our community, " said Dave Walker, S.E.A.M. organizer and Appalachian Studies graduate student at Appalachian State University, adding "What makes this event unique and powerful is that it forms connections between neighbors who have a monetary and personal investment in seeing each one another do well." A challenge to the traditional funding model, participatory investment empowers community members to "vote with their dollar" on local projects. This process cultivates relationships between community members and local entrepreneurs by providing an opportunity for direct involvement in the funding process. The local food, family-style dinner costs is $30 and proceeds from the dinner ticket will partially fund the dinner's cost and the remaining funds will be split between the three selected proposals (less than $1000 each). All three projects will receive awards, but with varying levels of investment. S.E.A.M. will be accepting 500 word proposals from emerging High Country farmers and food producers until October 24th. To submit an idea or buy a ticket to the dinner, please visit www.seamnc.org.

The Grill Room is also open to the general public. The menu has been extended to not only serve meat, but also delicious kingklip with a very special dill sauce, the most succulent chicken schnitzel and finger licking good spare ribs. Prawns are also a favourite of many of the guests. We serve light lunches for the not so hungry and in-a-hurry guests from 12h00 noon. The meat is sourced from Chalmar Beef where the animals are grain fed. The meat is then aged for at least 21 days. Using our secret basting sauce which was acquired in 1979, the meat is grilled to perfection and served with a starch of choice and either vegetables or salad. The Grill Room is still famous for serving the best steaks in town.
Located up a side street in Sea Point, The Wooden Shoe is a steakhouse in the traditional sense complete with a small following and rumoured to be the second oldest steakhouse in Cape Town. That being said, don't expect luxury or fussing over you service, this hole in the wall eatery is all about steaks and character décor complete with clogs adorning the walls. The tiny kitchen hosts legendary steaks, prepared by an overly worked and glowing owner who caters and indulges a local following and in-expensive wine list.

March 11, 2014
I've had the fortune of being a part of the Sports Overtime Team and Knoxville's biggest sports TV staff since February of 2005. After growing up an Air Force brat and living in places such as Louisiana, Texas, Wyoming, and Germany, it's great to do what I do here in East Tennessee. It's this part of the country that I call home. (Go Heritage Mountaineers! Class of '93).
After graduating from the University of Tennessee in 1997 (there were tons of cameras at my graduation... I think it had something to do with the fact that Peyton Manning was in my graduating class) I landed my first on-air position in December of 1997. That's when I packed my bags (and snow shovel) and headed to the Midwest, where I served as KTVO's weekend sports anchor in the Kirksville, MO/Ottumwa, IA market. After just six months in "America's heartland" my career took me back to Knoxville, and for two years, I was a sports reporter/photographer for a station here in town. Two years later, it was time again to pack the bags, as I accepted the position of sports director for KAIT-TV in Jonesboro, AR. I was with KAIT for nearly five years, which brings us to the present.
I've won broadcasting awards, been nominated for an Emmy, covered two Super Bowls and UT's 1998 national championship game, and interviewed some of the biggest names in sports, but the biggest joy I get out of my job is telling your stories to the living rooms East Tennessee.
When I'm not working, you might find me spending time with my beautiful wife, shankin' a drive on the golf course, camping, taking a road trip, or just talking sports with anyone willing to listen!
I always enjoy hearing from our viewers and reading what they have to say, or answering any questions they might have, so feel free to email me.

Nmap 4.75 recognizes iPhones and visualizes networks
"If we are going to call Nmap the 'Network Mapper', it should at least be able to draw you a map of the network! " writes developer Fyodor in announcing the newest version 4.75 of the Nmap security scanner.
Developers have integrated a network topology visualization tool in the Nmap's Zenmap graphical user interface by using RadialNet. And the network scanner now also recognizes iPhones and Wii consoles.
The topology map might, for instance, visualize the number of open ports per scanned host: a red cross symbol means that more than six open ports were detected; a white cross means that Nmap was unable to reach the host. A network administrator can thereby get a quick overview of network hosts having large numbers of open ports. RadialNet shows the distances to the scanned host as grey lines: every line represents a network hop. Routers, switches and WiFi access points appear on the map as colored squares.
The Nmap services can also record which open ports are offered most often to hosts in the network. Over the summer, Nmap was able to supply this information to larger organizations by scanning a few million IP addresses.
Based on these results, Nmap regularly scans only a thousand TCP and UDP ports, compared with the previous 1,715 TCP ports and 1,488 UDP ports. This step should accelerate the Nmap scanning in that the thousand ports remain on a hit list based on the gathered data. Even a scan for the "-F" option captures only the one hundred most crucial ports instead of the previous thousand or more.
The Nmap developers have brought their database of discovered operating systems up to date for a period covering March through July of this year. Nmap recognizes more than 1,500 signatures and can identify Apple iPhones and Nintendo Wii consoles. The network mapper also cooperates with Windows 2000.
The list of enhancements is considerably long and includes numerous bug fixes and changes to the Nmap Zenmap user interface. The Nmap 4.75 Changelog provides a complete overview and the software can be downloaded from their Download page.
Great THANK YOU, fyodor - keep ours eyes open!

In some places there has been water damage, which has presented as some loose seams and slight cupping of boards. as i have never done floors before I was hoping for input on how to proceed. | |||
I highly recommend hiring this out to a flooring pro. They have all the right equipment to do this correctly and quickly. If you trade off the cost of renting the right equipment and the extra time that your entIre house will be off-limits due to redoing the floors, it makes sense to let the pros do their thing. While it can vary by area of the country, you are looking at about $3 per square foot to sand and refinish hardwood floors. Jaybee | ||||
Agree w/Jaybee here. I've done two myself and had others done by a pro, and the difference is dramatic. Especially with the cupping and shrinkage, it will be very difficult as a diy project. | ||||

We are very fortunate to have 20+ restaurants in the downtown historic district of Fernandina Beach, all within walking distance of the Inn. We will feature a little history and discussion of some of our favorites over time and perhaps give potential visitors a little more in depth look at choices here on the island.
Beech Street Grill is the one restaurant in the same block with our Inn and one we often refer guests to whether they are new or returning to the island.
Beech Street Grill is an old historic home converted to a restaurant and then added on to for increased capacity and apppeal. Started by Liz Smiddy and her chef partner Rick Ericson in 1990, the restaurant features fresh local seafood, steak, pasta, and regional foods.
Identical twin brothers, William and James Bell, from Cape Fear, NC were seafarers and harbor pilots that came to Amelia Island and helped pilot ships through channels into and out of the harbor. During off-season they helped build churches and houses for other pilots, mostly in Old Town, the original local settlement. As Fernandina Beach was developed, they built more elaborate homes including the Grande Dame which was used as William's personal home on Beech Street. It was built in 1889 as a wedding gift for his bride and featured bay windows and two story verandas with ornate Chippendale style balustrades. Constructed of heart pine, the house still has the original marble mantels and fire place facades imported from Italy and other finishing touches from England and Belgium. The house went through transitions in 1929 with additions and was a gift shop and apartments called C-House selling shells and gifts when purchased for the reataurant. It was painstakingly restored and reconfigured for the restaurant in1990 and expanded in 1992.
Six separated dining rooms create quiet ambiance for diners but capacity to accomodate up to 200 guests. Rick Ericson concentrates on creating the finest cuisine with emphasis on quality and great attention to detail and fresh ingredients with exemplary service. Liz, a certified sommelier has built a wine lover's haven that will satisfy the most enthusiastic participant with an ever-evolving array of selections. On weekends, John Springer adds to the romantic feel with baby grand piano and soft virtuoso music.
Winning awards and praise from both guests and reviewers has added to the prestige and authenic experience to be found at Beech Street Grill. Their menu can be found at the Williams House guest service area and we can even comment on our personal favorites (Deborah loves their meat loaf and the spicy collards, while Byron enjoys the crab soup and the Beef Tenderloin). In our four years at the Inn, 99.99% of our guests have provided excellent feedback on their experience at Beech Street Grill, so we feel quite comfortable recommending it for your dining enjoyment. And by the way, our favorite dessert is the granny smith apple bread pudding with ice cream.
We have enjoyed several sessions with John Springer at the piano. Perhaps our favorite was Christmas eve dinner where virtually everyone dining joined in singing familiar Christmas carols. On another occasion Deborah and her daughter were entertained with various songs from Broadway shows and encouraged to sing along. Sometimes John plays less familiar showtunes and asks if anyone can remember the song's title or what show it came from. It makes for great ambiance and easy listening.

- Linden Cafe - a soul food joint serving the best chicken and waffles in town. I seriously crave these all. the. time.
- Resch's Bakery - 100-year-old bakery on the East Side serving donuts to their loyal fans. Enjoy fresh donuts while you watch the constant line of customers cycle in and out the door.
- Starliner Diner - we finally visited this Hilliard restaurant on my birthday. Their Cuban fare quickly became one of my favorite breakfasts in town, and one of my top recommendations for out-of-town visitors.
- Due Amici - my favorite brunch in Columbus. The Due Brunch Burger is probably one of the best dishes I tasted in 2010.
- Tommy's Diner - finally visited this Franklinton institution. A good breakfast in fun-looking diner, where you can chat with Tommy himself.
- Knead Urban Diner - new addition to the Short North/downtown area that focuses on locally-sourced ingredients in creative dishes. We visited during the soft opening; I still have to do an official write-up.
- Beechwold Diner - opened on Indianola Avenue at the beginning of the year, in the old Rube's Diner space. Decent food with a good clientele.
- Nancy's Home Cooking - after closing June 2009, this Clintonville institution came back to life last February with the help of a generous community. It's so rare to see this happen.
New York City: Kitchenette. A mix of small diner and country kitchen. They feature made-from-scratch breakfasts in a tucked-away Tribeca location. Real maple syrup, homemade apple sausage.
New York City: Jing Fong. An overwhelming but fun first experience in dim sum. A simply massive room full of brunchers. We were inundated with carts full of steamed dishes, and eventually dove in and enjoyed one of our best overall experiences of our visit.
Baltimore: Cafe Hon. It was hard to beat Blue Moon Cafe's Captain Crunch French toast, but Cafe Hon had the best overall experience. Great potatoes, fluffy pancakes, funky diner that reeks of Bawlmer culture.
Lexington: Winchell's Restaurant. Breakfast in a sports bar, oh yeah. Two of my brothers live in Lexington, and they took us here. Great white chocolate & blueberry pancakes, country fried steak, and jalapeno grits.
The Outer Banks: Dajio Restaurant. We discovered this new spot on Ocracoke Island during our family's annual vacation. Fantastic blend of Kentucky cooking with Island spice. Best breakfast on the OBX.
Pittsburgh: Square Cafe. Admittedly my only stop so far in Pittsburgh, but oh what a good one. Creative use of ingredients, passionate employees, colorful atmosphere. I wish I lived nearby.
Portland: Gravy. It's hard to pick a favorite breakfast in Portland, one of our country's best breakfasting cities, but Gravy stood out with huge portions, an astounding smoked salmon hash, and their Oatmeal Brulee.
Bethlehem, PA: Blue Sky Cafe. One of my favorite discoveries of the year. We were on the road from a family wedding in New Jersey, and thanks to Yelp and Urbanspoon we found this hole-in-the-wall cafe in downtown Bethlehem. Brick walls hung with local art, sky lights, cute neighborhood, and some of the best French toast I've ever had.
It's been a momentous year otherwise. In July I appeared in Breakfast Special on PBS. In September I began writing for (614) Magazine. And last month I announced a book about breakfast in Columbus, due out next year.
Thanks to everyone who's been reading, suggesting places, and joining me for breakfast. Look for big things to happen in 2011!
Happy New Year, and happy breakfasting!

Join in the conversation: "30 Days of Caregiving" on FCA's Facebook Page
A recently released report by Californians for Olmstead focuses on the state's current adherence to Olmstead and future steps for advocates. The report begins with a survey of the California disability community, who cited challenges and successes with the current Olmstead plan, including little to no progress in implementing recommendations, and policymaker's acknowledgment of the effectiveness of the IHSS program while also cutting the budget for the program. Progress on deinstitutionalization in the Dept. of Developmental Disabilities and the Dept. of Rehabilitation were both applauded. The state of California made approximately $15 billion in cuts to health care and social services since FY 2008/09, resulting in an additional $15 billion loss in matching federal dollars. Within the context of budget cuts, the passage of the Affordable Care Act, and shifts to managed care, the author recommends three priorities, including promoting consumer direction, preserving the non-profit, community-based safety net provider network, and focusing on fiscal incentives and advocating for them to be aligned to support HCBS.

Lawsuit Focuses On Outpatient Vs. Inpatient Status
The Hartford Courant reports that the Center for Medicare Advocacy planned to file a lawsuit against the federal government based on the issues that arise from Medicare patient stays being designated as outpatient or observational status as compared to in-patient status. An attorney for the organization explained that the difference in how a person is designated while they are at the hospital will impact whether or not a post-hospital stay at a nursing home is paid for by Medicare. The National Senior Citizen Law Center is co-counsel in the suit and the article features an interview with a Connecticut woman whose husband was designated "out-patient" status despite being in the hospital for five days.

Hearing Focuses On Assisted Living Facilities
The United States Senate Special Committee on Aging held a hearing at the beginning of the month focused on regulation of assisted living facilities. One of the witnesses was a daughter whose mother's death at an assisted living facility in Florida prompted an investigation into regulation (or lack thereof) into assisted living facilities in Florida. Other representatives discussed current regulation of assisted living facilities at the state levels. The testimony from Leading Age cited the fact that 37 states have some form of disclosure statement that is provided to prospective residents and 49 states have regulatory requirements for residency agreements that mandates that they include certain consumer protections. Another effort cited was the Assisted Living Disclosure Collaborative, which will ultimately result in a uniform disclosure tool that will inform consumers about the services provided at an individual assisted living provider.

Reports Focus On Medicaid Spending, Utilization, And Shift To Managed Care
Several recent reports from the Kaiser Commission on Medicaid and the Uninsured focus on Medicaid. In the first report, focused on 2007 spending patterns, the authors explain that while Medicaid long-term care users accounted for six percent of the Medicaid population, they account for nearly half (48%) of total Medicaid spending. The second report focuses on a growing trend of states using managed care organizations to administer their Medicaid programs and provides suggestions (based on interviews with stakeholders) for state policymakers considering shifting to managed care. The third report is the 11th annual survey of state Medicaid budgets, and the authors explain that unprecedented budget pressures have led states to eliminate, reduce or restrict benefits, in addition, 39 states have lowered provider rates in FY 2011, with 46 states planning lower rates for FY 2012.

Care Alliance Ireland: "Between Worlds: The Experiences and Needs of Former Family Carers"
Paper: Caregiving Reduces Chance Of Married Men Working, But Not Married Women
A recent working paper from the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College uses data from nine waves of the Health and Retirement Survey. The authors find that serving as a caregiver to elderly parents reduces a married man's chance of working by 3.2 percentage points. However, serving as a caregiver did not affect the wife's chance of working. Men's decisions to work were not affected by whether or not their wife is a caregiver. Women who are the only care provider increase their work hours by one hour per week, but women whose husband is the sole caregiver decrease their work by 1.2 hours per week. The authors conclude: "Overall, for adult children with elderly parents who are married, there is considerable joint caregiving, and this joint caregiving dampens the negative effect of caregiving on work that has been observed in other studies."

Report: Feedback From 132 Public Sessions Focused On National Alzheimer's Plan
The Alzheimer's Association released a report earlier this week focused on the results of 132 public listening sessions attended by 43,000 people across the U.S. to provide input on the National Alzheimer's Plan. In recognition of the political will necessary to achieve the goals, the report begins with a "thank you" to eight senators and representatives who helped introduce and pass the National Alzheimer's Project Act and a "thank you" for members of congress who attended listening sessions. The input from the listening sessions is grouped into ten issues, including insufficient research funding, poor dementia care, unprepared caregivers, and mounting costs. A participant from Roseville, California explains: "If we are going to get through the next 20 or 30 years - watching baby boomers with Alzheimer's increasingly burden their children with a disease they cannot control - we absolutely have to invest in the research to find good treatment options."

Report: 10 Criteria For Meaningful Measures Of Health Care
The Consumer-Purchaser Disclosure Project released a report earlier this summer focused on meaningful and usable performance measures to improve quality and affordability in the U.S. health care system. The authors explain that consumers and purchasers are the people most affected by poor and inefficient care, and the report provides ten criteria to guide decisions around choosing measures. The criteria include making consumer and purchaser needs a priority in performance measurement, using direct feedback from patients and their families to measure performance, and measuring the performance of providers at all levels (individual physicians, medical groups, ACO's).

Column Explains: "How To Work With A Geriatric Social Worker
An article in a recent issue of BIFOCAL (Journal of the Commission on Law and Aging), written by a licensed clinical social worker, Leland Kiang, gives strategies for working with a geriatric social worker. Kiang acknowledges that a client may not always know what type of help they seek, but if they do know, they can save time (and money) by telling the social worker what services they want and being prepared with information. The column explains that social workers may ask about a senior's medical history, emotional, and memory health, and their capacity to judge when and how to act in an emergency. Social workers will also ask about a senior's income, assets, health insurance, and whether or not there is long-term care insurance. The author also suggests informing a social worker about any legal arrangements (i.e. powers-of-attorney). Kiang suggests that people (especially family caregivers) should clarify with the social worker about who the client is. This may impact how information is shared to and from the social worker.

CareMore Profiled In The Atlantic For ACO-Like Approach
The November issue of The Atlantic features a profile of CareMore, a company that runs 26 care centers across the Southwest. CareMore, founded by a doctor, has focused on providing transportation, using technology for monitoring, and using preventative strategies to improve health care while reducing costs. Company leaders noticed that as many as 1/3 of patients were not attending their doctor's appointments and so the company began hiring car-service companies to get patients to their appointments. Other strategies include home visits, creating a wound clinic (to provide intense care for diabetic patients with small cuts, thus avoiding amputations), and monitoring through wireless weight scales and wireless blood-pressure cuffs that transit data from the patient's home back to the company.

Lewey Body Dementia Association Survey
The Lewey Body Dementia Association (LBDA) is conducting a survey to assess if there are differences in how grief is experienced by caregivers for individuals with Lewy bodies, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease with and without dementia, and frontotemporal degeneration. The survey will also assess the well-being and quality of life for caregivers of individuals diagnosed with the neurodegenerative diseases. Internet access is required to participate in the study, and LBDA needs 500 caregivers who are currently providing care for each different disease that is being studied.

When the Sabres hit the ice, fans will be eager to see how this off season's additions affect the team. Steve Ott is expected to add some energy and a physical punch that the team has been short on for the past few seasons. Plus, he's a former 20 goal scorer.
Meanwhile, John Scott is here to add the literal punch. He's a 6-foot-8, 270 pound enforcer and was protecting Patrick Kane in Chicago. He will now protect the Sabres' skill players.
"With a guys my size, it kind of comes with the territory. I try to make room for them. On our team, we've got guys like Pominville, Vanek and a slew of other skilled guys and small little forwards. It's up to me to kind of make sure they have room to maneuver out there and they're not getting bullied around, so they can play their game," Scott said.

In the case of Sean Keown, a Vermont man who shipped off a message in a bottle some 35 years ago, the recipient of his letter ended up being, well, himself. A teenager found his ancient bottle with its hidden note intact, and, being a teenager, googled the name and located Keown. He then put the note in an envelope and mailed it to Keown, who then called him to say "he'd been waiting 35 years for someone to find it." Keown also told his local news station that he'd promised a reward to the bottle's finder: "I was thinking maybe a candy bar or a soda, at the time I was in elementary school. Yeah, it's going to be a cash reward now." More Good News: Girl Scouts Get Badges For Happiness Six-Year-Old Finds Rare Fossil
When she noticed her resident's talent for cooking, Carson decided to open Boujhetto's, which employs and benefits others in need. As she told her local news station, at first she was just looking to make enough money to stay open, but the restaurant has been so successful, they are now expanding their hours and menu offerings. According to Carson, "we are here to help" anyone who comes in and might need a fresh start. And perhaps best of all, according to the official website, "Rahab's Hideaway can now hire who they help." Sounds pretty, well, delicious. Read More: Learn More About OWN's Soul Food Family Women Entrepreneurs
Cohen, 30, has been captivated by older women for as long as he can remember—especially his late grandmother, Bluma, with whom he'd spend hours watching old movies and poring over faded scrapbooks. "I was struck by how elegantly everyone was dressed," he recalls of Bluma's Depression-era snapshots. "The women didn't have money, but they had amazing clothes." Not long after his grandmother died, in 2007, Cohen moved from his hometown of San Diego to New York; Bluma, a graduate of Columbia University, had told him all creative people should live there. He landed a job supervising a bookstore. And in his free time, he took long walks around neighborhoods like the stately Upper East Side, marveling at the "independent, well-dressed older people" he encountered and snapping pictures. While dozens of so-called street-style blogs were chronicling the cutting-edge sartorial statements of the city's youth, Cohen couldn't help noticing that septuagenarians were strangely invisible on the Internet. Hoping to change that, he launched his own blog in August 2008. "I wanted to create something positive and inspiring," he says, "and to show younger women that they don't have to be afraid of getting older." In 2010 Cohen quit his job to focus on the blog full-time. These days Advanced Style attracts up to 50,000 page views daily. Earlier this year, he published a coffee-table book of favorite images; next up is a documentary about the women to whom he's dedicated his life. "We go to movies together, we talk about plays, we go to concerts. We're collaborators, in a way," he says. "Some of them refer to me as sort of a grandson."

2. Good luck not getting choked up as you read this self-written obituary in which Val Patterson, who passed away last week, describes how much he loves his wife—and how much he regrets smoking and the time it will deprive him of spending with her. (Salt Lake Tribune) 3. Seventeen years ago, a farmer planted 6,000 oak tree saplings as a tribute to his late wife. What can't be seen from the road—that they were planted in the shape of a heart—was recently discovered by hot air balloon. (The Telegraph) * Had enough of that lovey dovey stuff?

* Junot Díaz, author of The Brief, Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and this fall's This Is How You Lose Her, discusses how race influences his work and his debt to women writers in this insightful Q&A. (Boston Review) * In early 2011, Mike Tetreault found out he might get 10 minutes to prove to the Boston Symphony Orchestra that he's one of the best percussionists in the world. Boston Magazine tells the nail-biting story of what it's like to train for the nearly impossible. (Boston Magazine) * "When you really become a professional at this stuff, what's important is how well you can do when you're not inspired. If that's still workable, then you have a career."—Louis C.K. is talking about comedy in this interview, but it could be applied to pretty much anything. (A.V. Club) The Fourth of July is all about Big Fun, right? There's the food: meaty, creamy, over-the-top feasts chosen without any regard in the least to swimsuit season. There's the wardrobe: the extravagance of red-white-and-blueness. And of course, the fireworks: huge, pointless, amazing, impossible, glittering bits of fire in the sky. Sure, they're noisy and dangerous. But somehow a sky full of glitter induces the most world-weary spectator to "Ooh" and "Ahh." Somehow the right combination of fireworks and crowd and music always manages to inspire a moment of patriotic weepiness, even if only in the most abstract of ways.
And yet, it must be said: Sometimes it rains or some child gets a marble in their ear and has to be taken to the er—and fireworks are missed all together. And sometimes it's still blazing hot at 9pm. And sometimes you want a dose of Big Fun that's just a little, well, smaller. Quieter. Specialer. So just in case, here's a back-up. Michael Brodner's "Fourth" provides a moody, contemplative fireworks display for your own private sparkly-swelling-of-sweetness.

Ach, the unanswerable questions of a preschooler deep in the whys. Here's something I've discovered: If asked enough questions enough times, you really do start to think of yourself as a Personage With All Answers. So the last time we had this conversation I said, authoritatively, "Well, there's not really that Wonder Woman. But there are other wonder women who help solve problems and make people act nice." She seemed to accept this, although she did want to know whether or not they all wear American-flag-themed leotards. And as if in answer to my own why-why-why's, here they are: the real-life wonder women. Fast Company has assembled this auspicious, inspiring, and thrilling group of influential women who answering the question: Can a devoted group of concerned women change the world? The League of Extraordinary Women includes powerful CEOs, leaders, and politicians who are working to improve the lot of women and girls throughout the world. As one example, Maria Eitel, the CEO of Nike, was inspired by a visit to Africa (and in particular, the smart girl she met there who was about to married off in exchange for some cows) to start The Girl Effect, the purpose of which is "to inspire girls to believe in themselves; to deliver resources girls need to grow; and to remove the barriers that hold them back." From giving women micro-loans to help them start their own business, to providing access to clean water, the organizations these extraordinary women have started are changing the world, one step at a time. You have to pore over the whole list to understand the scope of this league of real-life wonder women. Just prepare yourself for a buzz of happiness and relief that these people are using their powers for the purposes of so much good.

* Adam Carolla started some trouble this week when he said that men are funnier than women, but it was worth it for this sweet, thoughtful (and, ahem, profane) response from Rob Delaney, who writes, "I learned there that the funniest thing in the world is not a group of men, nor is it a group of women. It's women and men working together." (Rob Delaney) * Just for fun: Thrill Murray, a Bill Murray coloring book. (Pikaland) * "He taught me early that the value of a dish is the pleasure it brings you; where you are sitting when you eat it—and who you are eating it with—are what really matter."—Anthony Bourdain on his father. The full essay is truly wonderful, and is accompanied by some terrific vintage photos of the food writer as a kid. (Bon Appetit) Girls and women in the United States have a lot of problems to deal with: being underestimated, being underpaid. Sometimes my mechanic talks down to me. But none of this seems anything like a problem when you consider what women and girls in Liberia have gone through, especially throughout that country's long, violent civil war. According to Charitable Influence, "Most of the people in Liberia under the age of twenty one has seen a
loved one die, usually through violent means. Many of them were forced
to not only witness but often be a part of the vicious war that lasted
for 14 years in the country."
A nurse named Rosana Schaak wanted to help the girls of Liberia, so in 2003 she founded the nonprofit Touching Humanity in Need of Kindness (THINK), which provides shelter and services to survivors of gender based violence. Schaak recently won an award for her efforts at the Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards, a lovely recognition of someone who has devoted herself to a noble cause. And I'd also add that THINK's new website is a heart-wrenching-and-then-expanding place to visit. "O Women, don't just sit there, do something positive," it declares. And then it proceeds to show us how. Read More: Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee on Anger
Last place is where high school junior runner Meghan Vogel found herself on Saturday, at the Division III girls state meet in Columbus, Ohio. She'd just won 1,600 meter race and was worn out, and found herself lagging behind in her next run, the 3,200. Then with about 20 meters to go, the girl in front of her collapsed. According to ESPN, Meghan helped the girl, a sophomore named Arden McMath, to her feet, and carried her across the finish line. Oh, and she made sure Arden got across the finish line before her. Just like anyone would, right? Um, I doubt it, though Meghan seems to think so: "Any girl on the track would have done the same for me," she told ESPN. "I think fate may have put me (in last place) for a reason." She's attracted international attention for her action, to which she says, "I just did what I knew was right and what I was supposed to do." Well, apparently someone was raised right. (You must check out the ESPN article for a photo of the girls running the race -- I feel like I want to make an inspirational poster of it to look at when exercising should I ever do such a thing. Those pained yet utterly determined expressions!) This wise teenager seems to have found some meaning in the overwhelming media response to her action: we love good news, yes, but also, we need this idea that you find yourself where you are for a reason. Even if where you find yourself seems to be last place. Because it's only last place if you let it be.

[JURIST] Scottish Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill [official profile] announced [press release] Thursday that convicted Pan Am Flight 103 [BBC backgrounder] bomber Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi [BBC profile] is being released from prison on compassionate grounds and transferred to his native Libya. Megrahi was recently diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer, and his release comes days after the Scottish High Court of the Judiciary [official website] accepted a request to withdraw a pending appeal [JURIST report] to his 2001 conviction, which would have been an impediment to his transfer. MacAskill said:
In Scotland, we are a people who pride ourselves on our humanity. It is viewed as a defining characteristic of Scotland and the Scottish people. The perpetration of an atrocity and outrage cannot and should not be a basis for losing sight of who we are, the values we seek to uphold, and the faith and beliefs by which we seek to live.Mr Al-Megrahi did not show his victims any comfort or compassion. They were not allowed to return to the bosom of their families to see out their lives, let alone their dying days. No compassion was shown by him to them.But, that alone is not a reason for us to deny compassion to him and his family in his final days.Our justice system demands that judgment be imposed but compassion be available. Our beliefs dictate that justice be served, but mercy be shown. Compassion and mercy are about upholding the beliefs that we seek to live by, remaining true to our values as a people. No matter the severity of the provocation or the atrocity perpetrated.For these reasons - and these reasons alone - it is my decision that Mr Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al-Megrahi, convicted in 2001 for the Lockerbie bombing, now terminally ill with prostate cancer, be released on compassionate grounds and allowed to return to Libya to die.

I was very happy with my stay at Newgrange Lodge. The staff were very friendly and helpful especially the staff member who waited up for me as I arrived late after reception had closed. Great facilities and comfortable bed - what more can you ask for!

We are two adult women who booked a bed in a dorm room. But as luck would have it, the dorm room was taken by French school boys, so the hostel staff gave us a private room at dorm room prices. Loved it! NewGrange Lodge is clean, new, modern, and has warm rooms and hot showers. (We were there in November.) The staff is friendly and knowledgable. Breakfast was way beyond the usual cereal and toast of most hostels. Very conveniently located just across the road from New Grange. Recommended.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. The only thing was that windows were open in both rooms, and we had lots of bugs flying around as a result. The bedding was clean, the atmosphere was great and the breakfast delicious and filling - there just needed to be a bug zapper somewhere!

On our first stay there was a problem with the shower not draining well and the water flooded into the bedroom. When this was reported, staff acted promptly and relocated us to a better room with a shower alcove.
