Nurse wins 'David and Goliath' fight after being left uninsured
CONCORD— A local woman is gaining national publicity for successfully challenging an error in the processing of her health insurance that left her uninsured through no fault of her own.
"It felt like David and Goliath," Terry Wetherby, a retired nurse living in Concord, said Tuesday. "It's been going on since Feb. 28, when I realized I had no insurance and hadn't had any since Jan. 1, even though I thought I did and was sending in payments."
The same problem affected at least 100 other Granite State residents who smoke cigarettes, and admitted as much when they applied online for Obamacare at healthcare.gov.
Anthem cancelled their policies earlier this month with no explanation. Only after the N.H. Insurance Department and federal officials intervened did Anthem acknowledge that smokers had been assigned non-smoker rates and their policies were cancelled.
The insurance company accepted no responsibility for the error, but in a March 18 letter to the Insurance Department agreed to restore coverage to the smokers at the non-smoker rate, at least for the rest of the year.
Anthem, the only insurer offering plans on the Obamacare online exchange for New Hampshire in 2014, attributed the problem to the system used to update rates with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
"The root cause of the issue was in the system through which carriers submit data to CMS," said Christopher Dugan, spokesperson for Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. "We have been assured that the issue has been resolved going forward."
The Center for Medicaid and Medicare insists that Anthem made the mistake and is correcting it by sending new information to the central clearinghouse for Obamacare.
Terry Wetherby applied for coverage on the website in November, and was approved for a plan that took effect on Jan. 1, with a monthly premium of $709. After subsidies, the 64-year-old was left with a premium of $26.
All she wanted was coverage that would carry her over to Medicare until she hit 65 in October. What she got instead, after paying two months of premiums, was a refund check from Anthem for $26 dated Feb. 20 with a two-word explanation: "Contract Cancelled."
Wetherby started a month-long effort to find out what happened and make it right. She contacted Anthem, the state's entire congressional delegation, the governor, the Insurance Department, and anyone else who would listen.
She started a Twitter feed with tweets to media outlets, elected and appointed officials, and regulators, hoping to get some answers. A reporter for the national news website, Pro Publica, picked up on the tweets and told Wetherby's story in an online article posted Monday.
By the time Pro Publica reported on Wetherby's dilemma, she had succeeded through sheer determination in resolving the situation and restoring coverage for herself and at least 100 others. But it wasn't easy.
Dugan would not confirm that the 100 smokers would be renewed at smoker rates in 2015.
"We are working closely with the exchange to process these applications and enroll the affected individuals as soon as possible," he said. "Anthem will also be reaching out to the affected individuals directly with additional information shortly."
The spokesman for the N.H. Insurance Department says there is no doubt the 100 or so policyholders affected checked the "smoker" box on their health insurance applications.
"We are pleased that Anthem has agreed to do the right thing on behalf of these consumers even though the company feels the glitch was not of its making," said Danielle Kronk Barrick, director of communications.
A spokesman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said there is no doubt where the problem originated.
"While we understand the templates are complex, this was an error committed by Anthem," said Aaron Albright, director of media relations at CMS.
Wetherby, who worked as a nurse at Concord nursing homes before her retirement in 2013, did not set out to become another Obamacare horror story. She said she has been a supporter of Obamacare over the years and still is.
"I really believe that everyone should be insured and that it should be affordable," she said. "Obamacare was supposed to stop insurance companies from cancelling you, and here I was, paying my premiums, and they cancelled me anyway."

Published by Nintendo, Developed by Monster
Genres: Racing (2 players)
US release date: Nov 19th, 2006 | EU release date: Feb 16th, 2007
Get ready for big-air jumps and bone-crunching crashes in EXCITE TRUCK, an off-road racing experience unlike anything players have tried before.
How to progress through the game: In EXCITE TRUCK, the main goal is to jump and bump to the highest score and best finish. The more points players gain, the higher their status grows - which in turn unlocks new courses. When players first start the game, they'll need to pass a series of tutorial challenges that teach the basics of driving and racing a truck. After they've completed those challenges, they can enter Excite Mode and race against other trucks in a series of globe-spanning races. During the race, they hold the Wii Remote sideways and turn it to steer around corners and fly off of huge jumps. In the air, players can tilt the Wii Remote to control their descent. If they land with all four tires touching the ground, they'll get a massive speed boost. Each dangerous stunt players pull off will earn stars. The total number of stars players earn determines their race rating. As players complete series of races, they will unlock even more challenging racing courses.
Special powers/weapons/moves/features: Each truck has a turbo charger that gives it a huge temporary speed boost. However, if players use the turbo too much, their engine will overheat. At the beginning of the game, players have access to only a handful of vehicles. As they earn points for completing races, they'll unlock additional trucks and buggies. During races, they can collect pick-ups that dynamically morph the terrain or make trucks temporarily powerful enough to send trees flying.
Very good
Excite Truck is what a lot of people are crying out for on Wii. When they're sick of tennis and baseball, and are stumped with a dungeon in Zelda, there's nothing better than to pick up a simple, fun, arcade racer and blast around islands in ridiculously over-powered...read full review
NaT said:
So, nobody's excited? I can't wait for this game!
wii man said:
This game is absolutely class. I love the way you control the truck/car.
Wii'R'Us said:
The Wiimote at its best (other than using it as a sword).
Noah of Nintendo Bunker said:
Wow, that's one excited truck.
Someone cooler than you said:
Is this a sequel to Excite Bike?
Tony said:
It is indeed, it's made by the same people I think. I love the way that jumps just pop up out of the ground.
wiiDSdemSONY said:
Deformation physics, way sweet. This game will be far more polished at launch. A racing game I actually want to buy, weird.
M!! said:
This seems like a game my sisters will like, they are all preppy but then love games where there's insane racing! Oh, and I hope it has minigames like Race up the Mountain like ExciteBike had, or more appropiate, Race DOWN The Mountain!
wii thing said:
The wiimote for a steering wheel, this game is gonna rock!
quartzlcc said:
What's the truck so happy about? Oh yeah, and the graphics are pretty damned good on this one. The gameplay I'm assuming, will be "meh" in my opinion.
pluto3 said:
There is a powerup that deforms the ground for massive jumps!
p-nut said:
The graphics look great and it seems pretty fun. Definitely a buy.
Must..have..wii said:
Never really liked racing games, but this definitely looks like insane amounts of fun with the wiimote. Let's just hope it's got some new things to add to the racing genre (other than the controller obviously).
DarkVic said:
This game looks amazing! I mean, you get to use the Wii-mote as a steering wheel. This is going to be one of the first games I buy.
dark ninja said:
The graphics are awesome and the controls look excellent, a must buy.
Scooby!_Jew said:
The Excite Bike game was a spectacular game for the NES and I think that Excite Truck is going to be the same for the Wii, especially because of the way you control it with the Wiimote. That's going to rule. My summary: A game worthy of your money.
losers! said:
Yeehaw! Other than nfs carbon this will be the best racer for the wii.
Epsilon said:
Woo! I've played this at a kiosk for the last two days and I can say this: Excite Truck=racing awesomeness incarnate. And I'm not even a racing fan.
BrothaZ said:
This is the sequel to excitebike, right? If it is, that's a HUGE step for a sequel.
charles wf said:
I think you can put your own music on it!
someguy said:
I will be ecstatic when I play Excite Truck.
Evil Trash said:
The graphics are awesome and the gameplay is massively fun. After playing for an hour at GameStop yesterday though, I'd have to conclude that it's just too difficult to control with the Wii-Mote. I found it very frustrating trying to keep the truck going straight after making even the slightest of turns. There may be a sensitivity option that I didn't see while I was playing though. I sure hope so, because it seemed like barely moving the controller would force you out of control and it was difficult to get back on the correct path. Also, the trajectory going off big jumps is difficult to nail and you will often land outside the course, ruining your chances of victory. There are so many obstacles (like trees, for instance) that you WILL run into hundreds of times during your first hour or so with this game.
WII MAN 2 said:
Woohoo I'm so looking forward to this game, it puts the fun back in racing games.
wii name2 said:
I can't belive you use the Wii mote for a steering wheel! Sweeeet!
BrothaZ said:
OMG that was SO fun! I just got back from playing it, it RAWKS! The steering is incredibly accurate and realistic but it is easy to crash. Also, the graphics WERE pretty good.
wiiman900 said:
Yes it sort of is a sequel to excite bike. I played this a few times before the system came out. It was righteous!
12D3 said:
Yes, finally a game trucks that crash violently.
someguy said:
This game's so fun (I have it).
i went wii said:
This looks like Destruction Derby Arenas on ps2 (car crunching action is the resemblance!).
Captain said:
This game looks great! I'm really looking forward to getting it. I wonder if it comes free with one of those steering wheel attachments to the Wii Remote?
Sonic Fan said:
I played Wii for the very first time and this was the game I was playing. And it was a lot harder than I thought it would be.
i went wii said:
Yeah the controls would be really hard to do with the physics junk they put in.
GIR said:
The crush challenge in this game is pretty awesome! It's sort of like a demolition derby.
Ryan said:
I wish they would have done an actual remake for Excite bike. The NES one owned, I had fun with the N64 one. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Ian C. said:
I have it, it's good. 5 out of 5 I love the crashes!
wii vic89 said:
This game rocks! Whenever I'm playing it, I'll always put on some metallica. The controls are hard, but you get the hang of it. Nintendo says that they aren't focusing on graphics that much, but excite truck has some impressive visuals. The truck physics are slick and the environment looks pretty damn realistic. The crashes are really cool. The feeling of the impact is like you're really behind the wheel. This game is a must buy if you enjoy crazy, arcade-style action!
Luigi said:
One of the greatest game ever used with a wii-mote.
Nova said:
If I ever get to choose five games at some store, this would be one of them.
poo said:
I played this when a friend brought it over. Surprisingly fun. The graphics are great. The only bad thing is that the multiplayer is limited.
Luigi said:
I have this game now. It has hard controls, but it's still good.
bob said:
I own excite truck, and it is definitely a five out of five. The controls are actually extremely easy to use and the physics jump is easy to control unless you go crazy with the remote before jumping. You can put your own music on it through an sd card but it must be plain old mp3. There is a two player mode that is a blast with friends because of the crashes, and watching them in the replay afterwards is as fun as playing (there are INSANE crashes!). All in all a great game that can be played for a long time.
Luigi said:
Now that I play the game, controls are easy and it's damn fun.
GFHJ said:
I rented this game one random day. I bought it 6 weeks later.
F Zero X vc said:
I thought I was renting it because a friend was coming over and I only had Wii sports. I accidentally bought it.
ToTaL GaMeR said:
I love this game, it was the first game that I ever bought for the Wii. It's really fun but there's a few super excite levels that I can't get S on.

"Then were there brought unto him little children; that he should put his hands on them and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus, said, 'Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.'"
I've been asked many times by readers and friends to relate my military experiences for "A Veteran's Story." Well, perhaps at a later date, but for now I'm delighted and honored to represent and convey the stories of my brothers and sisters. I will grant one personal narrative, a report on the best Veterans Day this old 'Nam vet has ever experienced.
September, 1970: I was finally home after 2½ years in Southeast Asia fighting a war our government had written off before I ever arrived in Vietnam. My skin still reeked of Southeast Asia, a musky scent no soap could lather off, but with enough time finally wore off. My mom and dad and a few relatives welcomed me home at Memphis International Airport and offered hugs and kisses and a few touchy-feely slights of hand to see if all my appendages were still intact. No Purple Hearts; didn't want any.
December, 1923, Atlanta: Jim Butler enters the world in an apartment house at the corner of Memorial Drive and Moreland Avenue. His dad maintained a job during the Great Depression so in Jim's words, "Our family did okay." Tech High School awarded Jim a diploma in the spring of '42. Hired by Rich's Department Store, he listened to the stories of a co-worker who had joined Navy aviation. Rather than be drafted as a ground-pounder, by September Jim had taken and passed his physical and mental tests for pilot training with the U.S. Navy.
This "Veteran's Story" is dedicated to all our veterans, to the men and women still in uniform, and to our fellow countrymen striving to grasp the true cost of freedom. Freedom never has been free, and the cost will be much higher for future generations.
According to Greek mythology, a skilled artist and craftsman, Daedalus, along with his son, Icarus, had become imprisoned on the isle of Crete without hope of escape. Using his substantial intellect, Daedalus used wooden frames, wax, and various sized feathers to fabricate wings. After man's first 'preflight', the two men took to the air, with a stern warning from Daedalus to his son not to fly too high because heat from the sun would melt the wax, nor too low, because sea foam may soak the feathers.
He served as a combat medic in Vietnam, picked up pieces of humanity; desperately struggled to save lives during the critical 60 minutes of the 'Golden Hour' in which the survival rate increased to 95%, and treaded through mine fields to recover the dead and wounded.
From the book "The Tunnels of Cu Chi" by Mangold and Penycate, a quote by highly decorated Army officer Jack Flowers, commander of 'Rat Six', the crack Tunnel Rat unit of the 1st Infantry Division. Jack Flowers personally survived 97 tunnel explorations.
The home city of record for Lance Corporal David Nipper is Atlanta. Perhaps the city of Atlanta was listed for convenience, but my theory is a bit more skeptical. This young marine was unintentionally overlooked due to careless record-keeping or the lack of clerical experience dealing with Georgia's first warrior listed as MIA (Missing in Action) during the war in Southeast Asia.

Nov. 14, 1944:
When governments can no longer manage their international responsibilities, soldiers are sent to wage the needed war to restore failed politics.
Cpl. Dexter Harris of the Rockdale Sheriff's Department joined the Army in 1987, just three weeks out of high school.
Many years ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a metropolis called Hollywood hunkered down to stand up and man-up for its native land. Instead of marketing political correctness, Hollywood's residents put their lives on the line for grassroots notions called individualism, capitalism and freedom. A port called Pearl Harbor transformed the make-believers into freedom-fighters.

Adopted at age 5 by a couple who owned a nursing home in Mount Vernon, N.Y., Wilsonia "Soni" Browne enjoyed entertaining and singing for the residents. Before her 12th birthday, the family moved to Miami, Fla.
We were on alert, the midnight sky charcoal black, odd noises coming from the distant jungle beyond the perimeter. My vision battled reality vs. apparitions in black pajamas. I was ready to kill, not so much an enemy, but the aggressive mosquitoes attempting to construct a housing project inside my left ear. I dared not slap or even curse my ear tenants for fear of exposing my so-called fighting position.
Confident in dialogue and conduct, James Johnson Jr. echoes his 22-year career in the United States Army.
I recently attended a monthly luncheon sponsored by the Atlanta World War II Round Table at Petite Au Berge Restaurant. About 150 folks were in attendance, mostly World War II veterans and their spouses. It was an honor to break bread with these men and women.
During his 1865 inaugural address, President Abraham Lincoln memorably appealed for good treatment of veterans: "to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan."
He is probably the most recognized veteran in the state of Georgia. His accomplishments and awards would fill a newspaper. One hundred or more hours is a typical workweek.
As I reviewed Covington native Jimmy Cronan's personal Vietnam War journal, I realized the best way to articulate his story was to let Jimmy tell his story of war and survival, as it happened, in his own words. The following is an edited, abbreviated narrative of his combat diary.
Oct. 24, 1921: In the city hall of Chalons-en-Champagne, France, U.S. Army Sgt. Edward F. Younger, a highly decorated veteran of The Great War (World War I), is assigned to select only one of four caskets recently exhumed from four dissimilar American cemeteries in France. Each casket contains the unidentified remains of an American soldier. After thoughtful consideration, Sgt. Younger places a spray of white roses on one of the caskets.
Courage and coordination are just two of many qualifying attributes for commanding a World War II B-17 Flying Fortress and B-25 Mitchell. To reach that level requires successful training in flimsy Piper Cubs, PT-17 Stearmans, and shake-your-teeth-out Vultee BT-13s.

A Message from the Central Pacific Empire:
The CPE formerly condemns the Islamic State of Iraq & the Levant, in particular its persecution of religious and ethnic minorities, particularly non-Sunni Muslims, Christians and others. Iraq and Syria have long histories of minorities, while Christians have been in northern Iraqi cities such as Mosul for over 1,600 years. We urge international support for this condemnation and the isolation of communities that support this movement.
Thank you.

LIRI: Central Pacific Empire goes gay
The Central Pacific Empire prides itself as a modern, forward thinking and progressive region. Despite the few vocal voices going against the tide, its great to see our first Pride Festival kicking off in a couple of days time, thanks to joint efforts of our Prime Minister Lentheric and Capital City Governor, Burgundaholmr. Its also great to see other Ministers and the Emperor getting behind this exciting initiative.
Love Island is a Muslim majority nation, however the disgusting comments made by the Pacific Islamic Movement, who is supposed to represent all Muslim views in the region, and the more radical Shem, have shown that there are members in our region still going against the general progressive tide.
Such nations and attitudes are an embarrassment to our region, our faith and our community. I have the right for my nations peoples to live how they wish, so we should celebrate this freedom. What makes a Pride Festival any less or more significant to the region to an Islamic holiday? Nothing.
The fact that we have an official Islamic public holiday shows our Emperors commitment to diversity and all peoples. The fact that we can also have a Pride Festival exacerbates this great achievement. Gays, Muslims, Christians, Tansexuals, overweight, beer drinkers, singers and accountants all have the right to live in our great region. We need to protect, not rubbish this.
You realize I hate progressivism as it is normally conceived? True progress would require this age to realize it's going in the wrong direction, it would progressive to turn back.

The present invention relates to collecting and storing mailpiece identification and tracking information.
The production of mail requires a number of steps that must be coordinated in order for all the elements to come together and to meet the postal service pickup deadlines and the mailer's distribution schedules. The ability to track the production floor operations is essential to ensure that service level agreements are met. This in turn drives a need to provide a way for a customer owning high-speed mailing equipment to transfer customer data from their equipment based on real-time measurements and data collection. The data collected needs to be transferred over a localized network or over the internet to a data processing system.
In the past, the data collection mechanisms were independent elements and storage mechanisms, which often implemented incompatible and disconnected data sources that could not be brought together to provide an overall view of the mail processing processes. Typically, data was provided using dedicated programs and work stations requiring constant presence by the user on the work floor.
It was often typical, that customers had multiple mailing sites but had no means to aggregate the mail piece data from each of those sites. Additionally, some customers maintained mixed vendor shops each having a mailing system using mailing data that was incompatible relative to one another. Thus, the mailing data present at each of the aforementioned sites could not be aggregated between one another to enable a unified vie\v of all the customers mailing operations.
Further, it has proven desirable that a user (mail sender or recipient) may often find it necessary to review the details on a particular mail piece that has passed through a mailing system (e.g., the USPS). One such objective to do so would be to track and trace a mail piece using minimal information.
Tracking and tracing mail pieces typically requires a unique identifier for each mail piece in order for it to recognized., However, the majority of mail pieces do not have such a unique identifier thus obviating tracking and tracing of such mail pieces. The United States Postal Service (USPS) did offer options (registered/certified mail) to provide individual mail tracking. However, these options were costly and only provided tracking at the beginning and end of the postal distribution cycle.
One prior art attempt to overcome the above deficiencies in tracking individual mail pieces was to assign a unique code to each mail piece (e.g., on mail pieces envelope). This approach is currently is use by various private carriers (e.g., FedEx, UPS, etc.). However, this approach is deficient in that the unique code is not shared amongst various postal couriers and requires significant investment by each private carrier to utilize it's own unique codes (e.g., requires infrastructures of scanners dedicated for it's unique code.
The present invention overcomes the aforesaid deficiencies by providing data tags that allow- mail pieces to be recognized as they pass through: an insertion system, a sortation system, a postal sortation system and a postal distribution system. This allows both mailers and the recipients (e.g., customers) to determine the current status of the mail piece as well as the contents of the mail piece and the predicted (or actual) delivery time for the mail piece. On a mail piece's return path to a mailer (e.g., a payment for a invoice) the present invention enables mailers to determine the number of incoming orders or bill payments in transit such that the mailers can estimate the resources that will be needed to process the orders as well as providing the mailers with an estimate as to incoming money.
In a preferred embodiment, the present invention obtains or creates a unique (virtual) identifier for each mail piece that allows mailing statistics to be generated and permits information presentment using internet browser technology, which can be accessed from any computer using a standard browser worldwide. The present invention further provides a low cost and currently supported method to apply a unique identifier to a mail piece, which can be obtained by a user of the tracking system without requiring the user to have any previous knowledge of the unique identifier. For instance, the thickness of a mail piece, an image of a mail piece, a postal meter sequence number, postal amount and the postal meter ID number can all be parameters used to distinguish multiple mail pieces from one another that may be in the same batch of mail being mailed to the same destination address.
An example of such a situation is that many people have multiple accounts with a mutual fund (e.g., UTMA, IRA, Roth IRA, 401(k)) in the names of the husband, spouse and children residing at the same address with the same mutual fund. Many envelopes will arrive at that residence with the same POSTNET barcode (the destination address). And if a PLANET code is applied to that mail piece which is unique to a particular mailer, there may be still numerous envelopes that contain the same POSTNET code and PLANET code combination that will falsely report as the same as they pass through the postal system using the PLANET code tracking system of the USPS, which is incorporated herein by reference. Hence an object of the present invention is to use information additional to the POSTNET code and PLANET code information available on a mail piece so as to distinguish each mail piece separately and track each mail piece separately and accurately.
In a preferred embodiment, the present invention tracking and tracing system preferably uses at least two levels of information to gain an understanding as the tracking of each mail piece, or a series of mail pieces. When additional information is needed to distinguish similar mail pieces from one another, the present invention system can preferably retrieve the actual image of the face of the mail piece (e.g., the outside front image of the mail pieces envelope) so that it can be reviewed and used to distinguish itself from other mail pieces often present in a same batch of mail.
The above and other objects of the present invention will be apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
As will be described below, the present invention provides a mail piece tracking and tracing system that is designed to track mail pieces as the progress through various routing and sorting facilities from source to destination in conjunction with individual mail piece information compiled during typical mail piece processing. More specifically the present invention preferably collects mail piece images from mail automation equipment such as inserter systems, and MLOCR sorting machines. Barcodes applied to mail pieces can be read by mail automation equipment and decoded information is conveyed to a data repository for subsequent retrieval enabling mail piece tracking.
As previously mentioned, the USPS currently provides mail tracking information on specially bar-coded mail pieces, commonly known as a PLANET code, which is used by the USPS to report the mail piece locations as they progress through the various mail handling facilities of the postal distribution system. Each time the mail automation equipment of the USPS is presented with a mail piece, an entry is made by the USPS into its PLANET code data base. Once this data is collected, it is processed and presented to the tracking system of the present invention, preferably via the internet. Thus, a user of the present invention tracking and tracing system preferably visits a web site that preferably presents the user with a search page enabling search queries into the present invention tracking system. That is, a user can enter information known about a mail piece (e.g., recipient name, time the mail was sent, PLANET code number, etc.), and after entering the information, thumbnail images of mail pieces that match the criteria are then presented to the user. The user is then preferably enabled to select one of the thumbnail images to show all of the tracking events associated with that mail piece.
It is also to be understood that the present invention tracking and tracing system has applications regarding incoming mail, such that when PLANET codes are printed on return inserts, information can be gathered regarding this mail piece as it progresses through a postal system to a mailer. Therefore, from the integrity of the time and date the outbound letter was printed, inserted, sorted and dropped off at a post office, through various USPS facilities to a customers local mail sorting facility, delivery statistics are gathered by the present invention tracking and tracing system.
In essence, and as will be apparent from the below description, information about a mailing or individual mail pieces is gathered to create a meta-description of the mail piece beyond the current technology associated with the USPS's POSTNET and PLANET barcodes. For example, the thickness of a mail piece, an image of a mail piece, a postal meter sequence number, postal amount and the postal meter ID number can all be parameters used to distinguish multiple mail pieces from one another that may be in the same batch of mail being mailed to the same destination address.
Turning now to
Since the present invention concerns the overall system components and use of stored data, a detailed description of the specific components of the track and trace system, and their modes of communication is not necessary for one skilled in the art to gain a proper understanding of the present invention. For example, shown coupled to the track and trace system 10 is a database 20 for storing the aforesaid stored mailing data, which database may of course be in many differing configurations.
Track and trace system 10 is coupled and configured to be interoperable with the internet 30 using known methods of internet protocol communication. Thus for all described components herein of the subject invention, their specific communication protocols for communicating with one another, whether it be via the internet or otherwise, and specifically to the track and trace system 10, will not be described in any further detail.
Designated by reference numeral 40 is a document processing system that is used to create the electronic mail contents or documents to be contained in a finished mailpiece. For example, the document processing system 40 may be used by a utility company for generating the electronic files corresponding to the billing statements for each of its customers. Typically, the document processing system generates an electronic mail run file containing the billing statements for a plurality of its customers, with the document processing system 40 being in the configuration of a mainframe computer. Thus, this electronic mail run file at a minimum contains the names of the mailpiece recipients in addition to the mailpiece recipient's address and contents of the mailpiece (e.g., billing statements). The POSTNET and/or PLANET code barcode may also be contained in the electronic mail run file.
The document processing system 40 may be coupled to the track and trace system 40, preferably via the internet 30, and programmed to download a copy of the aforesaid mail run file for storage in the database 20 coupled to the track and trace system 20. After the mail run file is received by the track and trace system 10, it may preferably then create individual files for each mailpiece recipient of the mail run file in database 20. Preferably, each file may contain the recipients: name; addressing information; phone number; document contents; POSTNET and/or POSTNET barcode information. Again, it is to be appreciated that this mail run file may or may not be copied to the track and trace system 10, and if yes, only selected portions of it may be retained in the database 20 for enabling future mailpiece tracking according to the present invention.
A document post processing system 50 may be coupled to the document processing system 40 for receiving and merging new data with the aforesaid electronic mail run file to create the meta-data available through the present invention. Typically, post processing systems 50 are implemented for modifying the electronic mail run data file, an example of which is known as StreamWeaver�, which is commercially available from Pitney Bowes Inc. and described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,658,430, which contents are hereby incorporated by reference. The data added to the mail run data file possibly include adding POSTNET and PLANET code barcodes, information about selective advertising materials added to the mailing, the mailing batch numbers, submission times to the postal service, changes to the mail run data file such as new corporate logos, new terms and conditions, new offers, new company names that have been replaced in the print file due to corporate changes or regulatory changes since the legacy system was programmed to created the original fixed billing information.
The document post processing system 50 may be coupled to the track and trace system 40, preferably via the internet 30, and like the aforesaid document processing system 40, may be programmed to download a copy of the modified mail run file for storage in the database 20 coupled to the track and trace system 10. In the event the mail run file was previously copied to the track and trace system 10, the information newly added to the mail run file by the post processing system 50 may be respectively supplemented to each already created file for each individual mailpiece contained in the mail run file. It is to be appreciated that any information from the mail run file may or may not be copied to the track and trace system 10 from the post processing system 50, and if yes, only selected portions of it may be retained in the database 20 for enabling future mailpiece tracking according to the present invention.
Typically after processing of the mail run file is performed by the post processing system 50, the mail run file is presented to a high-speed printer (not shown) for printing all the documents contained in the mail run file. After the documents are printed, they are presented to an inserter system, shown generally by reference numeral 60, that physically creates all the individual mailpieces contained in the mail run file as printed by the aforesaid printer. An example of such inserter systems can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,364,305, 5,797,015 and 5,419,440, which contents are all hereby incorporated by reference. Typically, such an inserter system 60 includes an input system that feeds printed documents contained in the mail run file typically from a paper web to an accumulating station that accumulates the sheets of paper in collation packets. Typically a single sheet of a collation is coded (the control document), which coded information enables the control system of the inserter system to control the processing of documents in the various stations of the mass mailing inserter system. The code can comprise a bar code, UPC code or the like. After sheets are accumulated into collations the collations are folded in a folding station and the folded collations are then conveyed to one or more insert feeder stations. The insert feeder station(s) is operational to convey an insert (e.g., an advertisement) to be nested with the aforesaid sheet collation being conveyed along the main deck. The sheet collation, along with the nested insert(s) are next conveyed into an envelope insertion station that is operative to insert the collation into an envelope. The envelope is then preferably conveyed to postage station that applies appropriate postage thereto.
As previously mentioned, inserter system 60 includes a control system coupled to each aforesaid modular component of an inserter system, which control system controls and harmonizes operation of the various modular components implemented in inserter system 60. Preferably, the control system uses an Optical Character Reader (OCR) for reading the code from each coded document. To enable this harmonized operation, the control system is typically provided with the mail run file from either document processing system 40 or post processing system 50. Typically, as contained in an inserter system 60, this mail run file is referred to as a Mail Run Data File (MRDF), which in addition to the aforesaid mail run file contains information relevant to each mailpiece acquired during the creation of the mailpiece by an inserter system 60. This acquired information can include what inserts were added to a mailpiece, the size of the mailpiece (e.g., weight, thickness, etc.), the postage amount, and the serial number of the postage meter that applied postage to the mailpiece. Further, if the inserter system includes a camera, the original MRDF data may also be supplemented with a visual image of the finished mailpiece (e.g., the outside face of the envelope 702, see
Like the aforesaid document post processing system 50, the inserter system 60 may be coupled to the track and trace system 10, preferably via the internet 30, and programmed to download a copy of the MRDF for storage in the database 20 coupled to the track and trace system 10. In the event a mail run file was previously copied to the track and trace system 10, the information newly added to the mail run in the MRDF may be respectively added to each already created file for each individual mailpiece contained in the mail run file. It is to be appreciated that any information from the mail run file may or may not be copied to the track and trace system 10 from an inserter system 60, and if yes, only selected portions of it may be retained in the database 20 for enabling future mailpiece tracking according to the present invention.
After individual mailpieces are formed by an inserter system 60, the mailpieces are then typically conveyed to a sortation system, shown generally by reference numeral 70. Sortation systems 70 are well known in the art as evidenced by U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,539,098, which contents are each incorporated herein by reference. The function of the sortation station 70 is typically to sort the mailpieces belonging to a batch of mail into sortation groups (based upon the POSTNET of each mailpiece) according to Untied States Postal System (USPS) standards for enabling discounted postage on each mailpiece. The sortation system 70 typically scans each mailpece to determine and cleanse a recipients address so as to apply the correct POSTNET to the mailpiece. The POSTNET is an eleven digit barcode character string wherein the first five digits is the typically five digit zip code (recipient post office), the next four digits corresponds to a recipients block face (side of a city block) and the last two digits correspond to the recipient's street address.
When a mailer subscribes to the PLANET code service offering of the United States Postal System, a sortation system 70 also typically applies the PLANET code barcode to each mailpiece. The destination CONFIRM service code is a 12 or 14 digit barcode where the first two digits represents the PLANET barcode is being used for origin CONFIRM service with the next 9 or 11 digits identify the mailer and the mailpiece. The last digit is a checksum to ensure data integrity. Specifically, of these 9 or 11 digits, the first five digits is a unique (and fixed) 5-digit ID assigned by the United States Postal Service to identify mailers subscribed to the PLANET code service offering. The next four (4) or six (6) digit field is the mailing (or customer) ID that is defined and assignable by the mailer to identify a mailpiece to that mailer. Currently only a four (4) digit assignable field is used for the mailing (or customer) ID.
In addition to applying a POSTNET and PLANET barcode to each mailpiece, the sortation system 70 includes the necessary hardware for scanning each mailpiece and storing the scanned image of each mailpiece 702 (e.g., see
The sortation system 70 is also coupled to the track and trace system 10, via the internet 30 and programmed to download the aforesaid electronic file to the track and trace system 10. In the event a mail run file was previously copied to the track and trace system 10 that corresponds to the mailpieces sorted by sortation system 70, this information compiled in sortation system 70 is respectively added to each already created electronic file for each individual mailpiece sorted by sortation system 70. And in the event a mail run file was not previously downloaded to the track and trace system 10, the aforesaid electronic file received from sortation system 70 will then form the track and trace database 20 for mailpieces as further mentioned below for tracking individual mailpieces.
As is known in mailpiece processing, after a batch of mail has been sorted (via sortation system 70) for postal discounts, it is then delivered to a postal distribution system 80 (e.g., the United States Postal System) for enabling delivery of individual mailpieces to recipients 100, via a mail carrier 90. As is also well known, the United States Postal System 80 provides barcode readers that read POSTNET and PLANET codes from mailpieces at various locations in the mail stream. For example, these readers are located at postal service mail sorting sites. These readers are typically in communication with the United States Postal Service CONFIRM server (e.g. database 85), which typically logs into the confirm server database the date, time and location when a particular mailpiece passes through the multiple postal service mail delivery stream scan point locations and the time the mailpiece was delivered to the carrier 90 for delivery to a recipient 100.
The aforesaid postal database 85 is coupled to the track and trace system 10, preferably via the internet 30, to provide the information collected on each mailpiece having a predetermined PLANET code to the track and trace system 10. This tracking information is then added to a file already created for a mailpiece having the predetermined PLANET and/or POSTNET code.
With the components of the present invention being described above, its method of use will now be described.
Referring now to
Typically, the bill creation systems are legacy systems which do not support introduction of new capabilities and therefore often a aforesaid post processing system 50 is utilized (step 210). As mentioned above, such a post processing system 50 introduces additional elements onto documents to be created. For instance, such additional elements may include an internal integrity checking barcode (step 215) or USPS PLANET barcodes as well as supporting additions to the mail run data file (MRDF), which is commonly the internal computer file that represents the individual mail pieces in a batch mailing file. As mentioned above, the mail run data file used by the post document processing system 50 may be forwarded to the track and trace system 10 for retrieval therein.
Next, a document is then printed (step 220) and conveyed to an inserter system 60 (step 225) so to be assembled into a mail piece (e.g., inserted into an envelope). Postage may be applied by a mailing machine coupled to the inserter system 60, in which event the MRDF of the inserter system 60 would identify the postage amount required for each mailpiece assembled. Again, as mentioned above, the mail run data file used by the inserter system 50 may be forwarded to the track and trace system 10 for retrieval therein.
The assembled mailpieces are then delivered to a mail piece sortation system 70 that typically sorts sequences the mailpieces in proper order to permit the USPS to offer discounted postage rates to the sorted mail pieces (step 230). Typically, the sortation system applies a POSTNET barcode to each mailpiece to qualify for the aforesaid postal discount rates.
It is to be appreciated that sortation system 70 may also preferably operate as a data acquisition device which acquires at least some of the following types of data regarding each mail piece processed: mail piece size and shape, the PLANET code, the POSTNET code, mail piece image, recipients name, processing time of day, the service urgency, the postage amount, the qualification (USPS category), and the tray or postal package that the mail piece is being shipped within. The aforesaid acquired data can then be integrated into the associated MRDF for the mail pieces.
The sortation system 70 may also preferably be utilized to print a PLANET code barcode on each outgoing mailpiece, which PLANET code would be added to the MRDF to ensure that a complete set of information regarding each mail piece is available (step 235). Preferably after all the mailpieces are processed by the sortation system 70, the MRDF, as modified by sortation system 70, is forwarded to the track and trace system 10 for retrieval therein.
Once the mail is sorted and documented in accord with USPS manifesting requirements for submission, the mailpieces are then deposited with the USPS 85 for postal distribution (step 240). The individual PLANET code on the mailpieces or an ASN (Advanced Shipping Notice barcode on the package of mail destined to the same post office) allows USPS scanners to report progress of the mailing as it progresses through the USPS and record it in postal database 85 (step 245).
After the sortation process is completed in the postal system 80, the mailpieces are then delivered to recipients 100, via postal carriers 90 (step 250). Thus, in accordance with the present invention track and trace system, all data is gathered involving the processing of mailpieces from time of creation through the sortation process of those mailpieces in the postal system 80 that use the PLANET code service offering of the USPS.
As shown
With reference to FIGS. 4-X, use of the present invention track and trace system 10 by a user 110 will now be discussed. With the user 110 preferably using a PC terminal coupled to the track and trace system 10 via the internet 30, the user 110 logs into the track and trace system (step 400) by preferably entering the user's ID and password (
The track and trace system 110 then access's the lookup table (
For example,
As is also shown in
Accordingly, the present invention tracking and tracing system can provides significantly more tracking detail than does the USPS (via planet code). [set forth more advantages]

Kim Kardashian: Underwater! In a Bikini! Drinking Soda!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Man. That was close. We almost went 24 hours without a Kim Kardashian bikini photo going up on Twitter.
Fortunately - thank goodness! - the busty reality star came through yesterday, following up her recent rash of bathing suit-based photos with this sort of artistic underwater shot:
"Swim good," Kardashian included as a caption, either making a major grammatical mistake or doing her best impression of a cave woman.
She later added another image to her Instagram account, this one just BEGGING for readers to add their very own caption. Try to keep it clean and have at it now:
kim! enough is enough! go make some porn with West! and by the way your ass is fat and saggy//sorry to say that
swim good is a reference to Frank Ocean's song...
Is this her impersonation of the Lock Ness monster - with that gigantic humped ass? See she's all smiles. Maybe someone peed in the pool.

Did you know aging affects your ability to safely drive an automobile?
With some 10,000 people hitting age 65 EVERY DAY in American, it would seem that this could be a cause for concern. Well, it is.
In fact, researchers at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine are training law enforcement officers to recognize warning signs of impaired driving skills and to take appropriate, compassionate action.
At the same time they are training doctors to think more about their patients' ability to drive safely with age.
A recent article in the Claims Journal, titled "Police, Doctors Receive Elder Driver Assessment Training," describes an educational program called Training, Research and Education for Driving Safety (TREDS). The program is designed to reduce the number of fatalities involving older drivers and to extend the time seniors can drive safely.
The program's focus is to educate people about the effects of aging on driving skills and the need to assess older people for driving impairments. TREDS teaches physicians about conditions and medications that can impact a person's ability to drive safely, regardless of age.
TREDS would like to see doctors assessing their patients for age-related driving impairments. These can include problems with their vision, mobility, and dementia. The program will give these patients information on necessary medications that have fewer driving-related side effects.
Auto accidents rank second in causes of injury-related deaths in people age 65 and older. The original article estimates that one in five drivers in the U.S. will be age 65 or older by 2030. That is twice the number of seniors in 2010—roughly 70 million in 2030.
Although some seniors can drive safely into their eighties and beyond, a person's crash rate per mile driven starts to increase when they reach age 70. By their 80s, senior men are as dangerous behind the wheel (in terms of driving fatalities per mile driven) as teenage males.
For more information, contact an experienced elder law attorney.

Back when you first decided you wanted to come to South Korea, breaking the news about your teaching-aspirations to your family was very emotional.
Growing up, Thanksgiving was always my favorite holiday. There is no pressure about gifts, the family is way less stressed, and it is all about gratitude, family, and good food. My kind of holiday. The day really embodies Fall, with it's smells and sweaters, colors, and football (or nap time for me).
In Korea, Chuseok is compared to Thanksgiving because it is also a harvest festival (minus the genocide and kum ba yah stories of sharing some turkey), but it is as big as Christmas is in the States. Being that it's one of the two biggest holidays in Korea, we usually get 4 or 5 days off! Hooray!
We also got some pretty great Chuseok gifts this year, and if you're interested in seeing what kind of quirky things we got check out the video!

Art rarely gets as gritty and real as this, particularly in a gallery, with rocks, earth and water running through simple doors, between white-walled rooms and under uniform interior lighting.
Olafur Eliasson, a Danish and Icelandic artist, created Riverbed as one of a series of installations for the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, challenging visitors to experience both museums and landscapes in new ways.
Meanwhile, the spaces become both intimate and perhaps uncomfortable as the earthwork slopes upward into ultimately-inaccessible areas.
The artist explains: "What I'm interested in with my work at the Louisiana isn't really that you experience an object or an artwork. I am interested in how you connect this landscape to the rest of the world and ultimately, how you experience yourself within it."
Traditional floor tiles slowly give way to a rugged landscape of stones and dirt, leading up to the sides of a real river inexplicably traversing the gallery interior.
Aside from other references, the work is a nod to the sculpture garden that used to sit in the same spaces where this section of interior galleries now stands.
"When we're in our familiar surroundings, in our circle of family and friends, our senses are very finely tuned, but the further away we get from the local context, the cruder the sensing becomes. I wonder if our focus on the atmospheric can give us a relationship with something that is very abstract and far away." (Images by Anders Sune Berg)

Google sees Amazon's Prime Air drone delivery service and raises it with the enhanced aesthetics of its own Project Wing, a series of autonomous aerial vehicles currently being tested. In development for the past two years and a secret until this week, Project Wing was initially conceived as a way to deliver emergency aid like defibrillator kits to people in remote places or disaster areas.
Now that the prototype vehicles have been tested (in Australia, which is far more lax about the use of drones than the United States,) it seems that they could be used to deliver goods to customers in a similar way to Amazon Prime Air, as well.
"As part of our research, we built a vehicle and traveled to Queensland, Australia for some test flights," says Google of the project. "There, we successfully delivered a first aid kit, candy bars, dog treats, and water to a couple of Australian farmers."
Developed by the company's research arm, Google X, the Project Wing drones have a wingspan of about 4.9 feet and a total weight capacity of 22 pounds, the bulk of which is taken up by the drone itself at 18.7 pounds. It doesn't need a runway to take off or land, and can hold its position hovering in one spot.
Looking like tiny blunt airplanes, the drones are at least a visual improvement over Amazon's design, which was mocked for resembling a flying barbecue grill.

Scorpion Concept Excavator is a design proposal for JCB, it's a project submitted for "Project 120" design contest held by JCB. The brief was simple, each contestant had to design an innovative JCB Digger for the year of 2073.
In 2073, we need a new breed of earth moving machinery. Inspired by scorpion, Arpan Jyoti Mahanta, an industrial designer, has come up with a remote-controlled concept excavator to fit this future role. It's powered by 750 bhp diesel, yeah, pretty massive yet still efficient, it sends power to all those all-terrain wheels through an electric drive transmission, and those arms via hydraulic servo motors.

Luna Washing Ball transforms your laundry basket into a washing machine, well, that's the dream, more space and less effort to fabric care. It's a design submission to Electrolux Design Lab, the idea here to allow us to preserve our environment, enjoy life, and live healthier. In not so distant future, people will have less time, less space, and less resource to spend, yet more things to take care.
Luna takes the form of a small sphere, simple to use, easy to manipulate. It's been designed to provide you with exciting and dynamic experiences, the answer that we probably need just with a different of perception. Simply toss Luna in your laundry basket, this electrostatic spherical washing machine works between dirty clothes, it also means you can use it anywhere, inside or outside the house.
Designer : Juan Camilo Restrepo Villamizar
The integrated simple user interface simplifies the interaction between the product and user. It only requires a small amount of water to create a cloud of fine particles of steam electrostatiscally charged, these particles come out through the pores of metal surface, wrapping and permeating all the fibers. This washing ball flows between clothes through vibration and pluses that control movements, it scrubs and shakes, it detects dirt and removes them. The metallic surface acts as magnet, it attracts dirt particles and sucks them to the core of the sphere. Finally, Luna blows hot air to eliminate any residual damp left in the fibers.

The shots seem impossibly composed, consisting of light that arcs and twists like a tornado in the night skies, but the process of creating them is much simpler than you might first imagine.
Martin Kimbell twirls, tosses and hurls LED sticks then uses long-exposure techniques to capture the twisting, turning and arcing patterns that result from each throw.
Some of the loops look like natural phenomena, swirling dust, stormy cyclones or campfire smoke, for instance, except spun from bright and colorful lights instead of organic materials. Others trajectories are simpler and captured in black-and-white instead.
Inspired by Stu Jenks and other light artists, Kimbell is a "freelance photographer based in Nottingham, England, specialising in light painting and action sports photography." You can see more of his photography beyond this type on Flickr as well, and be sure to check out Diliz who crafts figures from sparklers in a much different style.

Built in the 1860s and now on sale for half a million pounds (under $1,000,000) , it is hard to beat what this sea fort offers by way of views, a prestigious address (No 1 Thames) and amazing location (a short commute by speedboat from London).
The massive fortified structure (featuring 15-foot-thick walls) can be accessed by boat or walked to when the tide is low, albeit a long and muddy way to go. A BBC interview (screenshots above and below) shows both the problems and potential of this amazing piece of real estate – there are precedents, too, for converting old British army and sea forts as well as harbor bases.
The current owner purchased the property from the Crown Estate, which is to say he approach the "Lord High Admiral for Her Most Excellency Majesty Queen Elizabeth", made an offer and had it accepted.
However, the buyer-turned-seller, himself a London resident, never found the time or funds to refurbish the place, so it remains in a state of partial decay – a would-be purchaser should expect a significant outlay for renovating the building's exterior and interior alike.
Still, for someone with a fortune as well as a vision, it is hard to imagine a neater place to escape from city life. The firm WT Architecture has already taken a stab at conceptual designs for rehabilitating to structure (renderings shown above and below). As their drawings illustrate, there is a rich variety in terms of materials, shapes and spaces to work with, including a cavernous central stone circle with a tall wood-and-concrete watchtower and an adjacent rectangular brick structure (that could be used for guests).
As BldgBlog notes, "At first glance, it's an amazing offshore castle, a fairy tale artificial island of 19th-century military Romanticism roughly an hour's boat ride east of London. But don't jump in too quickly, lest you overlook the ruinous state of the place: it needs almost literally everything, from plumbing to electricity, glass windows to the most thorough cleaning you could imagine, having been open to the oceanic elements for decades"

For the love of motor sports, Renault has restated its passion with Renault Sport R.S. 01 Racing Car. It's a sports car with spectacular styling and breath taking performance that offers absolute pursuit of aerodynamic downforce. The company claims that this car is a radical expression of the brand's sporting DNA.
The technical specifications represent the best of Renault Sport expertise, it weighs less than 1,100kg thanks to a carbon monocoque chassis. The engine is capable to produce 500hp and is able to reach a top speed of over 300kph.
This gorgeous sports car has been set out to be one of the world's most efficient GT racers, it gives you the thrill at first glance. Within every stroke of the design pen, the goal was simple, design an iconic Renault vehicle that contributes greatly in track performance via a constant quest for aerodynamic efficiency. You can also see the signature LED daytime-running lights located along the brake cooling scoops.
From : Renault
The air is sucked in and channeled by the stem of the chassis through the center of the grille towards the 2 water coolers. This then expelled via the extractors located on the hood. Thus, any negative pressure created through the process increases downforce at the front of the car. Even that large blade of the lower splitter and the stepped flat bottom also contribute to aerodynamic at the front. There are 2 fins on the side of the bumper that create vortices, they help limiting the turbulence of the rotating wheels.
This extraordinary design reflects Renault's passion for motor sports. It aims to achieve the next level of performance to deliver the thrill for both driver and public.

Oh, I remember well the day that I bought this beauty, I could see it glittering the second it came out of her purse, she kept showing me other things, brooches and such. I could barely pay attention, it kept catching my eye with every turn of my head as I got more and more impatient for her to hand it over. Once I saw these diamonds come to life in the sunlight, slipped it on my finger and saw the shimmering blue of the cosmos in the depths of the sapphire, I was hooked, it had to be mine!
Ten gorgeous mine cut diamonds wink and sparkle around a fabulous deep blue sapphire in this perfect Victorian cluster ring. This ring is so bright and lively that it's difficult to keep your eyes off of it, even in the dark! By daylight, by moonlight, even by candlelight this ring is the essence of late Victorian Romance.
The mounting is perfect, subdued and charming with just enough detail to give it polish. Done in 18 karat gold with platinum prongs to hold the diamonds and help show off how white and bright they are. The 10 diamonds add up to about .7 carats, and the sapphire weighs in at about .55 karat. This low profile ring weighs 4.2 grams and is a size 8, but could be re-sized rather easily. This ring is marked with English hallmarks that show that it is '18kt' and made by the maker 'AH'. Made in about 1910, this ring is a true charmer and would be an exciting and unusual engagement ring or perfect right hand ring. You could truly wear it with everything, from blue jeans to ball gowns!
