WASHINGTON - A medical marijuana program in the District will move forward as planned despite a new directive from the Obama administration that's casting a haze over palliative pot programs elsewhere in the U.S.
A memo issued last week by Deputy Attorney General James Cole to U.S. attorneys points out in plain terms those who grow, sell or distribute marijuana are in violation of federal law, despite state laws that may have been passed permitting marijuana growth for medicinal purposes.
The memo is consistent with previous guidelines that prosecuting individuals who use marijuana for legal, medicinal purposes or their caregivers likely is not an "efficient use of federal resources." But it contains direct language regarding growers and distributors.
"Persons who are in the business of cultivating, selling or distributing marijuana, and those who knowingly facilitate such activities, are in violation of the Controlled Substances Act, regardless of state law," the memo says."Consistent with resource constraints and the discretion you may exercise in your district, such persons are subject to federal enforcement action, including potential prosecution."
Department of Justice spokesperson Jessica Smith says the Cole memo reinforces the guidance given in a previous memo and by various U.S. attorneys who earlier this year sent warning letters to some states "in light of changing state laws and increased commercial cultivation of marijuana for purported medical purposes."
The memo is meant as guidance to U.S. attorneys on "prosecutorial actions," Smith says.
"While the department has maintained that we will not focus our investigative and prosecutorial resources on individual patients with cancer or their immediate caregivers, the sale and distribution of marijuana continues to be a federal offense," Smith says.
The memo is causing caution in at least some of the 16 states that permit marijuana for medicinal purposes. In New Jersey, for example, Gov. Chris Christie has solicited advice from the state's attorney general regarding its statute.
In Colorado, Attorney General John Suthers said the memo is a sign the federal government has not approved of the growth in medical marijuana programs. To that point, the city of Denver reportedly has more medical marijuana dispensaries than Starbucks branches.
The District's medical marijuana program is still in its nascent stages after being approved by the D.C. Council in 2010, but a spokesperson for Mayor Vincent Gray says target implementation is sometime this fall. The mayor has no plans to amend the program in light of the new memo, saying through the spokesperson his administration intends "to move forward as planned with the implementation of medical marijuana without alteration."
The D.C. Attorney General's Office also is continuing to review the program but does not anticipate any significant changes being made, WTOP has learned. There additionally appears to be no imminent threat from federal prosecutors in the District: The U.S. Attorney's Office is "reviewing the guidance regarding medical marijuana" and "continuing to study the issue," a spokesman says, but would not comment further.
Among some of those seeking permission to cultivate or dispense medical marijuana in the District, the memo appears to have elicited a mixed response. One potential participant in the city's program, who does not wish to be identified for publication, says he will move cautiously but likely won't halt his plans.
"It definitely makes you a little bit more aware that it's still not a cut-and-dry situation," he says. "I don't think it's going to stop me."
Another potential applicant who wished to remain anonymous notes that Congress did not stop the city's medical marijuana law during its usual review period of the District's statutes. The District also will limit its cultivation centers to growing 95 plants -- a far cry from planned facilities mentioned in the Cole memo that hope to cultivate "tens of thousands of cannabis plants."
The potential applicant says she considered the risks before deciding to pursue participation in the program.
"It's not that I'm not worried, it's that it was a factor taken into consideration prior to even submitting a letter of intent," she says.
But not everyone hoping for a piece of the District's pot program is resting as easy. Montgomery Blair Sibley, who is seeking a cultivation and dispensary permit and has filed a lawsuit against the federal government related to enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act, says the Cole memo is "the ice pick in the eye ... for people who are thinking about going forward."
Sibley says interest from potential partners and employees for his business began to dry up after the U.S. attorney letters were sent in some states. He doesn't expect the Cole memo to make things any easier.
"The word I would use is 'chilled,'" Sibley says. "I am definitely chilled about going forward with this hanging over our heads."

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
It's getting worse and worse as our kid has begun his 3rd year. The teachers are grate but the students get too much slack.
My school is by far the most diverse in the district. It has great art programs. I am currently in advanced media arts. My media arts class is the most advanced out of the district. We are the only school in the district with a 3D printer. Also this year chute is teaming up with Verizon to get iPads for every student attending chute. This is really great because now kids who don't have a computer at home or who don't have WiFi can access there school work easily. Chute offers advanced math classes going up to geometry! We also have an amazing atheltic program. We have a huge gym with 6 volleyball nets, 6 basketball hoops, a climbing wall, and a high ropes course indoors. Outside we have 4 soccer fields, and 2 basketball hoops. When i grow up i want to send my children to chute!
We were extremely and happily surprised that our son's years in Middle School were the happiest in his school career thus far! Chute Middle School provides all students with the structure and support they need to succeed. The teachers and staff are accessible and approachable to both parents and students. The plain exterior of the school belies what is inside, especially the beautiful garden courtyard in the center of the building. This school is a testament to what can happen with good leadership: the principal, Mr. Mac, tells everyone at the beginning of the year "everything is my business." He follows up to make sure all students feel safe and cared for. We are so grateful that our son wound up here!
Chute students come from three elementary feeder school in District 65: Dawes, Oakton and Walker. They enjoy a host of extra curriculars from competitive after-school athletic opportunities to art clubs, high quality drama, orchestra, chorus and band performances, recycling clubs, Math Olympiad, student council and much more.
Chute is a Title 1 school that has not met its school grade in the years that our child has attended Chute. The District has raised the maximum class size from 25 students per class to 30. this affected our child's math and english class size - two core subjects for student success. Our child's teachers have been extremely uncommunicative and my husband and I have substaintial concerns regarding the quality of education our child is receiving. We have been very disappointed with the response of principal and vice principal in addressing our concerns, and communications with teachers did not improve over the course of the school year.
This is a fantastic school. My son started this year and I have been very impressed with the Principal and teachers. They keep intouch with parents, respond to emails and are helping prepare the kids for high school.
I go to this school, and am only in 6th grade, but from what i heard at my old school, Oakton, it is great. Good lunch food, good school setup, and finally all the "bad" student behavior is our life and examples. In response to parent one star may 5 2007s dislike of the school, i'd say the the disrespect of adults is just us being more independent than private school zombies. We're poor, yet we get on. Horrifying isnt it. single-minded students. We are just not impressionable little obedience bags, we're people. About special needs kids, we treat them as equals, not different people.
My daughter is about to complete her 3rd and final year at Chute. I can say that there is no other school I would rather she would have gone to. I wish my son had gone to Chute as well. The principal, Mr. Mac is as good as it gets! I wish he could come over to ETHS and help straighten out some of their problems! Excellent school, dedicated staff and they prepare the students (if the students try) for college prep high schools.
Because of their dedication to providing excellent education opportunies for all students.
Great teachers, superb principal!
My daughter is in her second year at Chute. She loves it. Yes, the school may be a bit of an eye sore on the outside, but it is what goes on inside the school that counts. The principal and asst. principal, Mr. McHolland and Mr. Brown operate a tight ship, but yet have the respect of the students. The teachers really challenge the children and expect/demand a lot from them. Many teachers offer extended hours for assistance with homewok if needed. Unfortunately, because of budget restrictions, Chute may not have a wide range of after-school activties as other local private schools offer, but what they do offer is sufficient. There is a year book club, fitness club, technology type club, etc...I believe most are lead by teachers. They also offer various sporting activities such as lacrosse, volleyball. We are very pleased.
My son loves Chute and is doing wonderful. His teachers are great and really know him. They all go the extra mile for the kids. My son is very bright and his teachers really challenge him. He is involved with several activities after school and enjoys them all. Communication with teachers is great. Mr. McHolland and Mr. Brown are on top of things. Great school!
I had two children who graduated from Chute and both received a good education. The older one was a National Merit Scholar and the younger one is still in high school in all honors classes. They particularly liked the math and music programs. Mr. McHolland is a wonderful principal who truly cares about the students. Yes, there are some problem kids, but the school is trying to deal with them.
The students don't receive enough extra activities like other schools do. Such as an own school team. The school is poor, the school is unclean. My child complains constantly about the school.The school has kids that are violent and direspect against adults. And now those teast scores are very low. The teachers volunteer their time to help kids with needs. Although I feel me child does not get enough help. I am seeking to remove my child from the school.
Well I'm a student here and I'd have to say Chute is a good school with smart and fun teachers. The kids on the other hand are close to driving me and others to insanity. I feel many kids are dragged down due to the other student's attitudes. I also feel there is a lack of advanced classes. I am in honors geometry, the only advanced class. Overall I would give an A for the quality of teaching, and a C for the student attitude.

From Statistics Explained
Assets are economic resources that have some value or usefulness (usually convertible in cash) and that are owned by enterprises or individuals, for example a piece of machinery or a house. According to the International Accounting Standards Board, assets are a result of past events and are expected to provide future economic benefits.
In the context of national accounts, economic assets can be defined as entities functioning as stores of value and over which ownership rights are enforced by institutional units, individually or collectively, and from which economic benefits may be derived by their owners by holding them, or using them, over a period of time (the economic benefits consist of primary incomes derived from the use of the asset and the value, including possible holding gains/losses, that could be realized by disposing of the asset or terminating it).

Henrik Fisker has a history with BMW, and his new company is about to get a future with the German automaker, as well. Fisker Automotive announced today the signing of an exclusive agreement with BMW that calls for the German automaker to supply its remarkable turbocharged four-cylinder engines (pictured) – along with "other components" – to Fisker for "future models."
Fisker says BMW will initially supply the turbo'd four-banger for the automaker's upcoming vehicles that fall under the tentative code name of "Project Nina," which are scheduled to enter the production cycle in late 2012 and be available globally in 2013. (This, of course, may change.)
This agreement calls for BMW to manufacture up to 100,000 engines a year for Fisker, with the first of the turbo'd fours showing up in what Fisker says will be a mid-size premium sedan with extended-range technology. As far as we know, not many people outside Fisker have seen the Nina. One who has is Vice President Joe Biden, who said "it looks like a four-door Ferrari, I can't believe it's only going to be $40,000."
Fisker Automotive's Chief Executive Officer, Henrik Fisker, commented, "The BMW engine was an obvious choice for us, as BMW is known for producing the best and most fuel efficient gasoline engines in the world." Meanwhile, Bernhard Koehler, Fisker's Chief Operating Officer, added that this deal truly combines Fisker's "Pure Driving Passion" with BMW's "Ultimate Driving Machine."
ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Fisker Automotive announced today the signing of an agreement with BMW that will cover the supply of engines and other components for future Fisker models.
BMW will supply a four-cylinder turbocharged engine for the next generation of Fisker cars, code-named 'Project Nina', which are scheduled to go into production in the re-commissioned former GM plant in Wilmington, Delaware at the end of 2012 and be on sale globally in 2013.
The agreement calls for up to 100,000 engine units per year at peak volume.
The first 'Project Nina' derivative will be a mid-size premium sedan utilizing Fisker's EVer™ (electric vehicle with extended range) technology to deliver on Fisker's corporate vision of Uncompromised Responsible Luxury.
Fisker 's CEO and Executive Design Director, Henrik Fisker, comments; "The BMW engine was an obvious choice for us, as BMW is known for producing the best and most fuel efficient gasoline engines in the world. We are very pleased to have signed this agreement with BMW."
Fisker's Chief Operating Officer, Bernhard Koehler, adds; "This is an important agreement for Fisker. We are focused on building environmentally responsible cars that deliver Pure Driving Passion to our discerning customers. Who better to be a part of this exciting 'recipe' than BMW – the makers of the Ultimate Driving Machine?"
California-based Fisker Automotive recently established a European office in Munich, Germany and has publicly stated that both the Fisker Karma Sedan and 'Project Nina' lines are global vehicles with sales likely to be split equally in the US and Europe (40% each), with Asia (20%) providing the remainder.
Fisker Automotive is an American car company, founded in 2007, committed to producing electric vehicles with extended range (EVer) that deliver Uncompromised Responsible Luxury™. The Fisker Karma Sedan is the world's first premium electric plug-in hybrid representing the company's firm belief that environmentally conscious cars need not sacrifice passion, style, or performance. Fisker Automotive is a global company that is redefining luxury for the modern sports car buyer.

Spanish brewer Estrella Damm wont be launching its new beer, Inedit, until sometime in the fall, but in the meantime its being plugged here by no less than Ferran Adri, who, along with his sommeliers, helped the company come up with whats described as a unique coupage of barley malt and wheat with hop, coriander, orange peel, liquorice, yeast and water. After bottling and capping, a secondary fermentation in the bottle occurs, leading to a more complex product. With the help of Dan Barber, Adri will unveil the beer to members of the press next week at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Reps are being secretive about the product till then, but you can actually score a 25-ounce bottle (for $30) at Puck Fair. A bartender there helpfully describes Inedit as a blond wheat similar to Hoegaarden but a lot better in quality. Its a lot cleaner, more refined, and designed by a famous chef. Famous indeed.
Where to Drink Ferran Adrià's New BeerBy Daniel Maurer
It hasn't officially launched yet and reps are being secretive, but one bar has the goods.

The D3 team went from like ~80-90 people to over 100 in the year following its release.
The only way the OP would be correct is if they scaled down the D3 again very recently (my knowledge is half a year old) and he didn't know about the period with an increase in development.

Always nice with some info, if only to speculate.

Further more expansions also have patches that require artists when adding new content. Those same artists could also be working on another expansion out.

well...- The Team wants to launch expansions faster but it is still a problem because there arent enough good developers who applied at Blizzard Entertainment
P.S. Does anyone else think it's utterly insane how much time it's taking them to release SC2 expansions? It's the same damn engine! It's the same game!

Perfect example of why "community" forums are poisonous to the health of a development team. These developers are wasting hundreds of hours trying to stem the tide of incessant bitchery that would never, ever abate so long as these entitled, unfortunate human beings don't get their way.

Greetings. I don't think it would be outrageous if Hatton fought again. Hatton can still beat a lot of quality fighters around the 140 lb weight class. I woudn't mind seeing a match up between Hatton and Tim Bradley. Plus Hatton has a huge following, which is good for the sport.
On the down side, Hatton already has a ton of money so there's no real reason to fight on other than pride and glory. Also, Hatton puts his long term health at risk every time he steps into the ring. Then again, so does every fighter. If Hatton wants to fight on I would respect his decision. But if he returns and starts getting KO'd by second tier fighters then I think people should start pressuring him to quit.
What was interesting about this documentary to me is the angle that Ali wanted to quit and Frazier wanted to keep fighting at the end. I'm not sure if this is actually true or if the film-makers just presented the story this way because they interviewed Frazier and so many people associated with Frazier for the film. In any event, I liked hearing Frazier's side of the story. Ali's story is also good but there is so much pro-Ali material out there and we've all heard it a million times.

ALERT: A reader informed me that when you buy the Advent CD of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, through amazon, you also get at no extra charge to download the mp3s! I have used bits and pieces of their Advent album in these podcasts.
Solves the dilemma of ordering it and then having it arrive only at the end of Advent, right? Get it now, enjoy it now, have the CD ready for Day 1 of Advent next year… and help the nuns!
And Angels and Saints at Ephesus is a great gift idea.
This year I once again offer a short daily podcast to help you prepare for the upcoming feast as well as for your own, personal, meeting with the Lord.
These are especially offered as a token of gratitude for my benefactors who donate and send items from my wishlist. Thank you!
And so, here is ADVENTCAzT 16, for the 3rd Monday of Advent. Have some Mystic Monk Coffee and have a listen!
PS: My stat counter for this plugin has been screwed up. Chime in if you listened.
PPS: These podcasts are also available through my iTunes feed. Let me know how you are listening. Through the plug in on this post? Through iTunes? Downloading?

BLACKSBURG, Va. – Virginia Tech has released the all-new 18-game slate of Atlantic Coast Conference games, as part of the 2012-13 Virginia Tech men's basketball schedule. The complete 2012-13 schedule will be released at a later date.
The Hokies, under first-year head coach James Johnson, will open the 2012-13 conference season on Saturday, Jan. 5, as they travel to College Park, Md., to face the University of Maryland at noon on the ACC Network. Tech will open its ACC home slate on Wednesday, Jan. 9, as it hosts Boston College at 7 p.m., in a game to be televised on the regional sports networks. The Hokies will later travel to league opponents Georgia Tech, Clemson, North Carolina, Virginia, NC State, Miami, Duke and Wake Forest. Along with Boston Colllege, Tech will host ACC foes Wake Forest, Virginia, Miami, Maryland, Georgia Tech, Duke, Florida State and Clemson.
"The ACC will be improved from top-to-bottom from last year," Johnson said. "There should be great parity in the ACC this season. As always, the league lost a lot of players to the NBA, but the league will still be strong. The new 18-game schedule will help our conference RPI and gives us two more tough games in the ACC. I think in March, when you are looking at resumes, it will help all of our league teams."
All 18 of the Hokies' ACC games will be televised this season. All games in the ACC Tournament will be televised by either the ACC Network or one of the ESPN family of networks. As a whole, the ACC will have a league-record 188 nationally-televised games.
The ACC will once again enjoy tremendous exposure by its broadcast partners. Currently, 88 of the 108 conference games (81.5 percent) will be televised on an ESPN network, CBS or carried on the ACC Network.
Twenty-nine games will be shown on ESPN/ESPN2, 20 on ESPNU and three on CBS. The ACC Network will broadcast 36 ACC games while the league's Regional Sports Networks (Comcast SportsNet, FOX Sports South/FOX Sports Carolinas, FOX Sports Florida, NESN) will carry 20 contests. The North Carolina at Duke game on February 13 will be broadcast by both ESPN and the ACC Network.
In addition, 85 of the games will also be made available on ESPN3. All games, with the exception of the three CBS telecasts, will be available through WatchESPN, accessible online at WatchESPN.com and through smartphones and tablets via the WatchESPN app to fans who receive their video subscription from an affiliated provider.

Equity funds are those that a company raises through different equity sources. There are usually two main sources of funds that most companies use: debt and equity. A business that relies on debt funds takes out loans or bonds in order to finance its current needs. While these can be good ways to raise capital, companies should also look into equity funds. Money raised in this way is based on higher value of a company or its assets, rather than increasing the amount the company owes. Some of the most common sources of equity funds are the sale of stocks and other securities, private equity placements, and in some cases equity loans or equity lines of credit.
In general, stocks are divided into two major categories: preferred stock and common stock. Preferred stock is held by a few investors, each of whom purchases their shares from a company at a particular price. These stocks are usually only offered to close associates of a company, such as partners, employees, clients, suppliers, or big-money investors. Common stocks are made available in an Initial Public Offering to a greater range of investors. This sort of an offering is usually more lucrative than a private offering. One of the drawbacks of offering stocks is that investors usually expect a certain level of return on their investments and failure to meet that level can bring great problems for the company's management. The stockholders usually require a say in the company's actions and operations.
Private equity placements are an alternative to offering stocks. Investors of this sort usually provide a company with several hundred thousand dollars in equity funds, and they can also bring a wide range of skills and resources to a company.
Equity loans are typically based on the equity in a piece of commercial property.

The Silver Laced Wyandotte chicken breedis the most popular of the Wyandotte chicken variety and a great American heritage chicken breed. This breed was originated in the early 1870s in New York state. The Silver Laced Wyandotte is a much cherished breed for all that has experience with them. They are a good choice for pastured poultry, free range chickens and pet chickens. From their very striking looks to their consistent production, they are a great choice for a backyard chicken flock. The Silver Laced Wyandotte's have white feathers that are bordered by black creating the lacing appearance that they are named for and the baby chicks are for sale online here at chickensforbackyards.com. The tail feathers are black and very fluffy, some owners will occasionally trim and clean the area to prevent matting of their delicate tail. Having pea combs, they are very cold hardy birds, but as with any breeds, they prefer to be nestled in their cozy chicken coops in extremely cold weather. The Wyandotte produces a good number of brown eggs throughout the year, approximately 200. The color of the eggs are tinted to light brown and are medium to large egg size and a good buy for raising chickens for eggs. Hens can be broody and make great mothers. A fully developed hen can weigh about 6 pounds and roosters will be up to 7 ½ pounds.

Chewy Pecan Diamonds Reviews
Bon Appétit | December 1999
reviews & comments (61)
I have made these cookies many times. I found that a sprinkle of kosher salt before serving makes them even more delicious.
My brother made these as a Christmas gift, and they disappeared before all the other holiday baked goods. Truly exceptional and delectable. Definitely on our list for next holiday season, unless my brother generously makes them for us again!
These are awesome! I made a double batch to give to clients. Everyone LOVED them. I made a few changes. I used Organic Grade B Maple Syrup, I doubled the vanilla and then added 4 tbsp of bourbon. I also increased the salt by 1/2. I want to give this 4 stars but the forks won't click for me for some reason.
This is my go to recipe to please a crowd and make an impression. People just love these and they are a finger food; which is nice for a crowd.
Since 1999 I have been making them every x-mas and given the recipe to friends and relatives more times than I can remember......plain heaven
I make these most years for Christmas. So good! They're a perfect cross between candy and a cookie. I recommend using parchment paper instead of foil though. My MIL asked for the recipe, so I think they're a hit.
I love pecan pie, but I have to say that these are better than pecan pie. Everyone who tried them loved them. I used whole wheat flour for half the flour amount and they turned out great.
Easy and very tasty. I used maple syrup instead of corn syrup but it came out just as great.
Very very good cookie recipe, I expected these to be sweeter but they're actually perfect in sweetness. I had to sub 1/2 the brown sugar for regular and I can't imagine it made much of a difference. One tip - after baking the shortbread, line the sides of the pan with parchment paper as the caramel is going to be a PAIN to chip off the sides of a regular glass pan. :) Delicious, and great as presents!
Made these for the first time and they were delicious! I followed the recipe exactly except for baking the shortbread an additional five minutes b/c mine wasn't quite done. I used a ceramic pan, which may have been the reason. I was worried that I didn't cook the topping enough, but it was perfect. These cookies were more impressive than the effort it took to make them, which is my definition of a good recipe. The topping was a little blander and less caramelly than I would prefer, though. I think they needed a little more salt to bring out the flavor of the nuts and buttery caramel. Next time I will add a pinch of salt to the topping and use golden syrup instead of corn syrup.

The recent hack of Barnes and Noble's credit card processing system illustrates the need for companies both small and large to go that extra mile to ensure that their customers' data is protected.
Securing Payment Transactions
Customers need to trust a business, and once that trust has been violated, it's hard to get it back. Identifying theft is not always easy in the modern world, but its underlying factor has always existed as long as people have been doing business. As a merchant, you need to go that extra mile to protect your customers from attacks when processing credit cards.
All businesses that engage in credit card transactions should be familiar with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) 12-part data security mandatory guidelines that assist merchants with increasing cardholders credit card security. These common sense guidelines are designed to protect consumers' data from misuse. All businesses are required to abide by these guidelines, but some choose to take consumer protection a step further by implementing the following five additional security standards.
Routinely Updating Payment Processing Software
As a business owner it is your responsibility to ensure that your security software is always up to date. Merchants are required to be PCI-DSS certified which means that the business follows industry best practices to ensure their customers' data is protected. The PCI Security Standards Council recently implemented a program that provides a list of preferred and certified technical specialists to assist with installing payment applications, see our latest blog PCI Releases Risk Assessment Guidelines for Merchants for further information.
Routinely Check Equipment for Modifications/Tampering
Thieves often use sophisticated and camouflaged devices to siphon credit card information directly from the PIN pad. These devices are designed to be virtually invisible and can look like part of the pad. Training employees to spot these devices is vital to ensuring customer security.
Monitor Transactions
In the event of a security breach, it's important that you are able to quickly identify where the breach occurred. Keeping accurate records and actively monitoring transactions will allow you to identify suspicious activity and minimize the damage.
Encrypt the Data from Start to Finish
The use of end-to-end encryption greatly improves the overall security of a business' credit card processing system. It protects a customer's data from the time he swipes his card until the payment is processed. This technology can be expensive but many businesses believe the additional security is worth the cost. End-to-end encryption also has the added benefit of helping a business to become PCI certified.
Never Store Credit Card Information
Merchants use a variety of payment applications to store, process or transmit card data electronically. Always ensure these applications have been scanned by an approved vendor or that you store customer data off site preventing the possibility of a security breach . Many payment processing companies offer to store customer data in their own data vaults and provide the business with an encrypted ID. That ID is used whenever a repeat customer makes a purchase.
Protecting your customers' data is essential to maintaining that trust that is so important for the business-customer relationship. By following the steps outlined in this guide you will be ahead of the proverbial curve when it comes to credit card information security.

Healthcare executives from three leading organizations offer these tips for driving sustainable improvements in value:
As baseball teams across the country train for a new season, healthcare organizations are in training for a new system of value-based payment. Much of their efforts center on shifting from a value gap to a value potential, which HFMA president and CEO Richard L. Clarke, DHA, FHFMA, describes as "a state in which improvements in the quality of care outpace the costs of care, where patients are engaged in improving their health, and where purchasers reap the benefits of improvements in value."
But many organizations are struggling with the question of where to focus their resources and efforts in improving the quality and cost of care.
The fact that most healthcare organizations are in the early stages of adopting value-based competencies was corroborated by participants at HFMA's most recent Thought Leadership Retreat, held this past October. An organization's progress toward a value-based business model often depends on its size: In general, larger organizations with greater resources are the most likely to have made significant strides toward developing the competencies needed to succeed under a value-based model, participants said.
"Although there is a lot of talk going on in the industry regarding ways to improve quality and value, these discussions are taking place in silos," Kenneth Fisher, associate vice president and CFO, University of Iowa Healthcare, Iowa City, Iowa, said at the retreat. "We have to come together in these discussions to develop the competencies needed to succeed under a value-based business model."
How can healthcare organizations find their sweet spots in driving sustainable improvements in the quality and cost of care-while making the most of the resources available to them? Here, three innovative healthcare organizations of various size, type, and location share examples of ways they are closing the "value gap" in health care.
"If you look at the ability of healthcare organizations to successfully execute their strategies, you'll find that our on-base percentage is not very high," says Pete Knox, executive vice president and chief learning and innovation officer for Bellin Health, a small, integrated delivery system (IDS) in Green Bay, Wis. "We're woefully poor at execution; we fail to implement about 70 percent of our strategies effectively. At Bellin Health, we strongly believe organizations need a business model that will help align their strategies with the actions necessary to improve value."
In 2003, when Bellin Health saw a sizable reduction in total volumes as measured by adjusted patient days while costs escalated (see the exhibit below), the organization intensified its efforts to improve value by enhancing quality of care while reducing costs and driving out waste and inefficiencies throughout the system, says CFO Jim Dietsche.
Exhibit 1
In 2006, Bellin Health developed a process for prioritizing improvement initiatives within the organization. Every 120 days, Bellin's senior leadership team selects a handful of initiatives designed to improve quality of care and efficiency; engage staff, patients, and partners; grow revenue and market share; and drive out waste and inefficiency. Then the system's resources are focused on achieving these goals through initiatives that cascade down through individual service lines and departments throughout the next 120-day period.
"We focus all of our organizational support on making improvements in these select areas throughout that 120-day cycle," Dietsche says. "Every 120 days, we take another look at the targets, using short-term measures and long-range measures to gauge our progress. If the new processes that were implemented are hardwired and we get the results we expected from a project, we determine that the project is complete and move on to a new initiative. If the target for an initiative has not yet been achieved-for instance, if we've experienced good results from the initiative, but the results are not sustainable-that project may undergo another 120-day cycle wherein we can continue to devote organizational energy toward achieving the goals we've set."
Bellin calls its model of aligning and deploying organizational energy toward performance improvement its "high-performance healthcare model." "We need to make tough choices when it comes to performance improvement initiatives. We can't do everything," says Knox, who is also a senior fellow for the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and author of The Business of Health Care.
"Every organization has a limited amount of energy and resources. Generally speaking, organizations today are fortunate if they can dedicate 2 to 3 percent of their capacity toward improvement and innovation. So we have to make decisions: How do we use that 2 to 3 percent of our capacity when we have over-whelming demands coming at us? It's all about execution: making decisions and aligning the organization's capacity with the actions that are needed to achieve our mission and vision and strategy."
The results include the following:
"We've posted tremendous results in terms of reducing cost and improving quality, and our utilization is lower than what is seen nationally," Dietsche says. "And we're receiving national recognition for our efforts."
The ultimate goal of Bellin's high-performance care model is to effect whole system change, rather than incremental change. "To achieve real results, an alignment has to occur within the organization," Knox says. "Our high-performance care model creates a synergy within the organization and the tremendous discipline and rhythm needed to focus our resources to improve and innovate at a faster rate."
Exhibit 2
One common challenge rural hospitals face is limited access to physician specialists: Small towns have difficulty recruiting specialists; the cost of sending specialists to rural locations for regular visits-usually with a nurse or two in tow-adds up quickly; and not all specialists are willing to make the drive.
It's not uncommon for patients in small towns or rural communities to put off receiving more specialized care until their health problems become difficult for them to manage on their own, which is partly why rural Americans are more likely to suffer from chronic health conditions, heart problems, or cancer (O'Toole, M., "Healthcare Access Lagging in Rural U.S.," Reuters, July 27, 2011).
"Rural patients know that if they call an ambulance in the middle of the night, they'll wake up their neighbor who is an EMT, so instead, they get in the car and drive to the nearest hospital, where they arrive unannounced," says Deanna Larson, vice president, quality initiatives and eCare for Avera, based in Sioux Falls, S.D."Some rural areas are lucky to have more than one physician on staff, and sometimes the nurses who are working in hospitals late at night are the youngest on staff. When you're in an area where the next healthcare facility is located 50 to 100 miles away, that puts a lot of pressure on the physician and nurses who are treating traumas, heart attacks, strokes, and other critical conditions without the support of specialists."
In 2002, Avera, a network of hospitals, family care practices, and specialty clinics located in South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and Nebraska, began to address this problem through a telehealth initiative that allowed specialists in intensive care and emergency care to speak with physicians and nurses in rural hospitals at the point of care, providing critical-and sometimes lifesaving-guidance.
"Telehealth allows us to take the medical expertise of emergency department physicians, nurses, and specialists and spread it across geography," Larson says. "It enables faster access to more specialized care and helps in avoiding unnecessary transfers to other medical facilities. When transfers are needed, they are better transfers-patients are taken to the facility where the right specialists are available to treat them, and they've received care that helps prepare them for a transfer and that can aid in achieving better outcomes."
Video consults are supported by special stethoscopes, otoscopes, and examination cameras. A physician and a nurse are able to be accessed by video at all times through the push of a button in an ED room or inpatient room.
Today, Avera's telehealth program includes the ability for rural patients to access specialty consultations via two-way video from their family physician's office, with nearly 5,000 such consults recorded in FY11. A telepharmacy service also provides remote medication order review and approval prior to the patient's first dose.
Since Avera's telehealth program was launched, the organization has reduced length of stay by 25 percent both in its intensive care units (ICUs) and in other hospital units, Larson notes. She also says more than 19,000 ICU transfers have been avoided in the past seven years, resulting in an estimated $30 million in savings to Avera. The avoidance of serious safety events through use of this program also improves quality of care while reducing risk and costs (see the exhibit below).
Exhibit 3
For rural hospitals, the program has resulted in improved documentation, decreased recruitment costs, reduced medication errors, and improved revenue due to their enhanced ability to care for residents in their communities. For payers, the benefits include a reduction in unnecessary transfers to other facilities, decreased incidence of duplicate diagnostic tests, and reduced travel expenses for families of patients. For patients, benefits include improved health outcomes, faster service, and greater access to specialists.
"Thirty percent of patients claim they would not receive services without e-consult. That's a lot of income," Larson says. "We believe telehealth will probably be the next boom in health care, particularly in rural healthcare facilities."
In October 2010, Partners HealthCare in Boston undertook an ambitious initiative to redesign care plans for five clinical conditions throughout a defined episode of care. The goal: to improve patient outcomes while reducing readmissions and utilization by 10 percent and unit costs by 5 percent.
Partners HealthCare targeted five clinical conditions that were frequently experienced among the health system's Medicare and commercial payer population, and then defined episodes of bundled care related to each of these care targets:
"One of the conditions-diabetes-is a chronic condition. The other target areas are acute illnesses or procedures that involve an inpatient stay; for these conditions, we asked the teams to design a care plan that included care after discharge during the recovery period," says Elizabeth Mort, MD, senior medical director for Partners and vice president, quality and safety for Massachusetts General Hospital.
"We'd worked to improve quality in each of these clinical areas in the past," Mort says. "Our focus had been on achieving process improvements, such as improving door-to-balloon time for patients with myocardial infarction. Now, we've added the challenge of cost reduction and extended our work from the inpatient setting to longer, defined episodes of care. In doing so, our goal is to improve value by enhancing quality of care, reducing adverse events, and pulling waste out of the system. This work was designed to prepare us for care delivery as we move from unfettered fee-for-service payment systems to systems in which providers take more financial risk."
Condition-specific teams of clinicians focused on redesigning care in each of the target areas by developing a new process-of-care map for each area. "For each condition, we gave the teams data related to how much money we were spending on these patients in a year, with the data sorted by area of expense," Mort says. "For example, we used a tool to review our commercial claims data for our diabetes population-which consisted of about 4,000 patients-and looked at how much money was spent on these patients for medications, inpatient care, office visits, diagnostic tests, and more in a single year. For conditions that required a hospital stay, the largest area of expense was inpatient care. For a population of patients with diabetes, the highest area of expense for a yearlong period was related to drugs, by far."
The teams narrowed the patient population for each condition-for example, in the area of diabetes, focusing on adult patients with Type 2 diabetes, and for stroke, focusing on ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack-and then defined a time period deemed appropriate for managing the condition and the processes of care that should occur during that period. In doing so, the teams also looked at ways to improve value by developing plans that ensured all evidence-based care was delivered to increase the chances of achieving the best clinical outcomes while avoiding adverse events. The teams also identified their metrics for reporting to Partners' senior leadership team. "The metric piece is really important: It gives us some indication of whether the processes being adhered to are resulting in improved value and gives clinicians and managers a tool to guide progress and hold parties accountable for performance," Mort says.
The exhibit below depicts some of the recommendations made by Partners' diabetes care redesign team. For example, the team estimated that by moving 30 percent of diabetes patients from all brand-name medications to generic medications, millions of dollars in pharmacy savings could be achieved. Partners' stroke care redesign team determined that there are significant opportunities to avoid costs related to unnecessary admissions for low-risk patients with transient ischemic attacks. Its AMI team is working toward reducing unwarranted variation in cardiac catheterization lab procedures, echocardiograms, and use of intensive care beds for low-risk patients. The team estimated that readmissions after an AMI could be reduced if Partners' hospitals were to shore up the discharge process by providing closer follow-up with patients, including post-discharge phone calls and a clinician visit within a week after discharge.
Exhibit 4
It's too early to determine the total savings the health system has achieved through this effort, Mort says, but "we've made a lot of progress in just over a year. We're working incredibly hard, and it's exhilarating, but also challenging. We're making good progress in getting decision support embedded in our electronic medical records to remind physicians to use generics when possible, and we've piloted a transient ischemic attack clinic with very promising results. The metrics in our value dashboard are getting the attention of senior managers and clinical leaders across the system, and our payment system has evolved over the past year.
"We're investing in the resources needed to be successful in a population health management world, which will require improved care coordination, registry management, and increased emphasis on working with our high-risk populations to improve value," she says.
There are a number of lessons learned that could be applied by other healthcare organizations to drive sustainable improvements in value.
Start small. "Focus on fewer initiatives, execute them, make sure that the results are sustainable, and then move on to the next initiative to improve value," says Dietsche of Bellin Health. "The problem that many organizations face is that they have multiple projects going on at the same time, and at some point, it becomes difficult to determine where to allocate resources. It's better to focus on three or four initiatives related to improving value at a time so that the organization doesn't run into constraints related to IT capabilities, resources, or capital. Focus on a few things, do them very well, and move on to the next project."
Focus on reducing adverse events for significant wins. "You can hit the sweet spot in improving value by making sure you are avoiding adverse events through the implementation of evidence-based care practices," Mort says. "For example, the occurrence of a blood stream infection in the ICU will increase a patient's length of stay and increase the cost of caring for that patient by up to $45,000. When evidence-based protocols are followed to prevent adverse events such as this, patients are healthier and costs are reduced."
Ensure that both clinical and operational experts take part in discussions on ways to improve value through care redesign, reengineering of processes, and more. "It's really important that when you design an initiative such as (care redesign), you have the right disciplines at the table-not just clinical experts, but also operational experts-helping to think about the implementing of plans from the get-go," Mort says. For example, some of the biggest challenges Partners HealthCare has faced in implementing its care redesign initiative have been related to its ability to manage care costs continually across the continuum of care, to manage registry of patients (i.e., to track patients in the target areas and maintain their information within a database), and to ensure availability of accurate data related to cost and utilization. These are instances where involvement from IT and healthcare finance can make a difference in the long-term success of an initiative-and hit home runs related to value.

Actually, frost and fire are winning out. Arcane just suffers too much due to mobility.
Having said that, I still see a lot of arcane mages. You will need to learn a fairly new strat with burn phases and maintenance phases.
Fire still values haste, often over crit because we can't get enough crit at current gear levels to make hotstreak even close to what it was at the end of wrath. Haste gives fireball/frostfire bolt better cast times and these are frequently 35-50% of our dps.

Many Port residents were shocked last week when they learned that a lifelong member of one of Port's multi-generational families, Angela Prudente, was arrested and charged with stealing more than $45,000 from the Port Washington Paraprofessional Association. She had been working in the social studies department at Schreiber High School before resigning from her post last August. The alleged crime took place between April 22, 2001 and June 22, 2004 and was discovered over the summer when the union conducted an audit and discovered a shortfall.
The 51-year-old divorcee pleaded not guilty to a charge of third-degree grand larceny at her arraignment in First District Court in Hempstead.
Prosecutors said that she used PWPA ATM and debit cards to withdraw money from the union's bank account to supplement her personal expenses such as gas, lodging and purchases at stores like Old Navy and Wal-Mart.
According to Nassau County District Attorney, "The PWPA is a labor union made up of the Port Washington School District teacher support staff, such as teacher's assistants like Ms. Prudente. She served as the co-president of the PWPA for approximately eight years and she had the responsibility for the financial records for the last three years, while overseeing the union's finances."
To put the amount of money missing into a context, there are approximately 200 members of PWPA. A paraprofessional making $28,000 pays $403 per year. Most, however, do not make this much money. The amount of money that was to be contributed to New York State United Teachers (NYSUT) for the 2003-2004 school year was $17 to $18,000 totally.
According to Mike Margolis, an official at NYSUT (New York State United Teachers) the contributions from the Port local started to fall into 60-90 day arrears. When Ms. Prudente ignored repeated requests to see the organization's books, the other co-president, Karen Novinski, called NYSUT. When NYSUT received no response from Ms. Prudente, it took the case to the Nassau County District Attorney.
Mr. Margolis said that this is the first time in his 20 years with the NYSUT that anything like this has happened. He noted that audits are required every two years of all locals. In this case however, the timing of the audits fell out in such a way that it took a bit longer to discover the theft.
Those who know Ms. Prudente well are shocked, especially family members. "I was blown out of the water," said a cousin, adding "Angie was always there to help out if any one needed anything."
They also question why she needed the money because, financially, she came from a fairly comfortable background and presumably had money left to her in estates. "I'm totally shocked and cannot comprehend why she would do this," said a relative.
The Port Washington School District issued a statement stressing that the monies stolen were not taxpayer dollars. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Geoff Gordon wrote, "Unlike the events in other school districts which have been in the news recently, this matter is drastically different. There are absolutely no allegations that the individual involved has in any misappropriated any district funds. Rather, she has allegedly stolen from her union. Accordingly, based on our own internal investigation, it does not appear that a single penny of district funds has been lost or stolen by this individual.
"Moreover, following our investigation during the summer the individual involved resigned from her employment in the district effective September 7, 2004." Dr. Gordon added that the district intends to continue to cooperate fully with the criminal investigation and will evaluate, what, if any, additional actions may be appropriate in light of the evidence as it is developed.
If convicted, Ms. Prudente faces up to seven years in jail. For now, the missing money will be covered by insurance. But, the insurance company can go after Ms. Prudente's assets to recoup the money if she's proven guilty of the crime.

Merkur have combined the best features of their most popular razors to come up with this fantastic shaving tool! Based on the shorter handled Merkur 34C Heavy Duty Classic razor it features:
This heavy duty razor is a must buy for those serious about using the very best in workmanship.
Important! Before purchasing, please read the Maintenance of Merkur Safety Razors.
David Firth, editor of the Tried & Tested section on The Sun website, puts the Merkur 38C Barberpole to test and is not left disappointed. He said: "It feels balanced when you're shaving and it allows total control. The diagonal thread design on the pole helps you keep a solid grip and I also like that you change the blade by simply unscrewing the base, rather than having to disassemble the whole thing. A great piece of kit." You can read the full article online by clicking here.

In most school band rooms, music directors work with their students on everything from keeping time to solos, challenging them with new music and new ideas.
Three years ago, 10 music educators in Palm Beach County decided to challenge themselves as well, Sy Pryweller said.
The result was the 5 O`Clock Shadows. Pryweller, music director at Palm Beach Junior College, said the band meets as often as it can, while allowing for schedule conflicts.
