Recently, the Office of Inspector General of the United States Department of Health and Human Services ("OIG") released its Fiscal Year 2015 Work Plan summarizing its oversight and enforcement priorities for the 2015 Fiscal Year. Here are some highlights from the Work Plan.
Hospital-Related Policies and Practices
- OIG will determine the impact of new inpatient admission criteria on hospital billing, Medicare payments, and beneficiary copayments. OIG will specifically examine hospital inpatient claims for compliance with the "two midnight policy".
- OIG will review data from Medicare cost reports and hospitals to identify salary amounts included in operating costs reported to and reimbursed by Medicare. Employee compensation may be included in allowable provider costs only to the extent that it represents reasonable compensation for managerial, administrative, professional and other services related to the operation of the facility and furnished in connection with patient care.
- OIG will provide greater Medicare oversight of facilities claiming provider-based status to determine the extent to which provider-based facilities meet CMS's regulatory criteria.
- OIG will provide greater oversight of hospital privileging by determining how hospitals assess medical staff candidates before granting initial clinical privileges, including verification of credentialing and review of the National Practitioner Databank.
OIG will review the use of hospice general inpatient care and will assess the appropriateness of hospices' general inpatient care claims and the content of election statements for hospice beneficiaries who receive general inpatient care. OIG also plans to review hospice medical records to address concerns that this level of hospice care is being misused.
Ambulance Services
OIG will examine Medicare claims data to assess the extent of questionable billing for ambulance services, such as transports that never occurred or potentially were medically unnecessary transports to dialysis facilities.
Sleep Disorder Clinics
OIG will examine Medicare payments to physicians, hospital outpatient departments, and independent diagnostic testing facilities for sleep-testing procedures to assess the appropriateness of Medicare payments for high-use sleep-testing procedures and determine whether they were in compliance with Medicare requirements.
Provider Eligibility
OIG will determine the extent to which and the way in which CMS and its contractors have implemented enhanced screening procedures for Medicare providers pursuant to Section 6401 of the Affordable Care Act. CMS is implementing new authorities that include site visits, fingerprinting, and background checks, as well as an automated screening process.
Adult Day Health Care Services
OIG will review Medicaid payments by States for adult day care services to determine whether providers complied with Federal and State requirements.
Health care providers should review their compliance policies and procedures in light of the Work Plan and identify any compliance vulnerabilities. The full Work Plan can be found on the OIG website, hhh.oig.gov.

Telehealth/Telemedicine: An Opportunity for Physicians and Providers to Add a New Line of Service
Posted by McBrayer, McGinnis, Leslie & Kirkland, PLLC in American Telemedicine Association ("ATA"), Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS"), Federation of State Medical Boards ("FSMB"), Health Care Law, Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act), Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), Hospitals, Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure, Kentucky Medical Practice Act, Medicaid, Medicare, Personal Health Information, Telehealth, Telemedicine on November 18, 2014
The cost effectiveness of providing health care via telemedicine or telehealth promises to be an effective tool to increase coverage and reimbursement of healthcare provided remotely or through telehealth. Towers Watson, a national consulting company, recently published a 2014 study that suggests that telemedicine could save $6 billion annually for the health care industry. "Achieving this savings requires a shift in patient and physician mindsets, health plan willingness to integrate and reimburse such services, and regulatory support in all states," according to Dr. Allan Khoury, a senior consultant at Towers Watson.[1] Recent studies have assigned significant cost savings generated by telehealth use that include cost savings of $537 million per year for emergency departments using telehealth to reduce transfers and spending reductions of 7.7% to 13.3% per person per quarter in the cost of care for chronically ill Medicare beneficiaries using a health buddy via telehealth. [2] As the cost effectiveness of providing services via telehealth and telemedicine is proven, Medicare, most state Medicaid programs and commercial insurers are increasing coverage as well as reimbursement for telehealth services. State law requirements for providing telehealth and coverage differ greatly. Consequently, physicians and health care providers should be aware of the complexity of providing telehealth and its requirements, but should also incorporate telehealth services into their practices as a new way of providing services and a new line of business.
What is Telemedicine/Telehealth?
Simply defining telemedicine can be tricky, as there is no single definition. CMS defines "telemedicine" as the "provision of clinical services to patients by practitioners from a distance via electronic communications."[3] The American Telemedicine Association ("ATA"), a nonprofit organization dedicated to integrating telemedicine into health care systems, defines it as "the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve a patient's clinical health status."[4]
In April 2014, the Federation of State Medical Boards ("FSMB") adopted a model telemedicine policy and defined "telemedicine" as "the practice of medicine using electronic communications, information technology or other means between a licensee in one location, and a patient in another location with or without an intervening healthcare provider."[5] On the heels of the FSMB policy, the American Medical Association ("AMA") approved "guiding principles" regarding telemedicine in June, but offered no single definition. The AMA report instead addresses telemedicine within three broad categories of telemedicine technologies: store-and-forward telemedicine, remote monitoring telemedicine, and real-time interactive telemedicine services.[6]
At the state level, Kentucky's Medical Practice Act[7] defines telehealth as "the use of interactive audio, video, or other electronic media to deliver health care. It includes the use of electronic media for diagnosis, consultation, treatment, transfer of medical data and medical education." Telehealth is often used as a synonym for telemedicine, but precise definitions, as evident from above, may differ.[8] Importantly, the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure ("KBML") has recently adopted a very helpful policy that accepts the FSMB's model policy as the accepted and prevailing standard of practice for use of telehealth tools when practicing medicine. In a detailed opinion, the KBML recognizes that a patient/physician relationship via telehealth can be established with the informed consent of the patient, but includes complicated requirements for establishing the patient/physician relationship, obtaining informed consent, providing examination and treatment services, keeping medical records, maintaining patient privacy and prescribing. While recognizing prescribing via telemedicine to be at the professional discretion of the physician, the KBML emphatically points out that all requirements for prescribing whether in person or via telemedicine must be met and physicians will be held to the same standards for in-person prescribing when prescribing via telemedicine. While the opinion does not rule out prescribing controlled substances via telemedicine, all statutory and regulatory requirements must be met. The KBML's policy specifically states that using an on-line tool alone is not sufficient for prescribing. Thus, Kentucky physicians have guidance from the KBML about telemedicine, but still must address issues like prescribing thoughtfully and carefully as there is no specific recipe for compliance with Kentucky's prescribing requirements via telemedicine.
It is also interesting and important to note what telemedicine may not be. According to CMS, telemedicine does not include phone calls, emails, images transmitted via fax, and text messages without the visualization of the patient.[9] On the other hand, the ATA has interpreted telemedicine to include transmission of an evaluative or therapeutic act through any means, method, device, or instrumentality, including emails and phone calls.
Contrary to its definition of what telemedicine is not, CMS has announced an important new benefit that will pay a monthly fee to physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and others to manage the care of patients with two or more chronic conditions starting in January 2015 without face to face communication. Significantly, this new benefit will cover case/care management services for patients with chronic diseases without visualization of patients. To be provided efficiently, these services will require communication via telephone, secure messaging and email. Use of these telehealth tools, however, does not mean that CMS considers the services to be telehealth; consequently, these services do not have to meet Medicare's telehealth regulatory requirements even though the services meet the ATA's definition of telemedicine.
Getting Reimbursed for Telehealth Services
- Medicare and Medicaid
After a long period of indecision, Medicare announced final requirements for telehealth services in July 2014. To qualify for Medicare reimbursement of telehealth services, a beneficiary must be located in an area outside a metropolitan statistical area or in rural health professional shortage area ("HPSA"). In addition, Medicare " will only pay for a face to face, interactive consultation service where the patient is present in an approved healthcare facility (hospitals, rural health clinics, skilled nursing facilities, physician offices and community mental health centers), known as an "originating site." As a condition of payment, an interactive audio and video telecommunications system must be used that permits real-time communication between the provider at the distant site and the beneficiary at the originating site.
Professionals who may receive payment for covered Medicare services include physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurse-midwives, clinical nurse specialists, clinical psychologists and clinical social workers, and dieticians or nutrition professionals. In July 2014, CMS released its CY 2015 Physician Fee Schedule which expands Medicare-reimbursable telehealth services to include remote medical services, psychological testing, psychotherapy, prolonged office visits, annual wellness check-ups and non-face-to-face chronic care management as well as psychiatric and behavioral health services. These are welcome changes and cover key areas that have, to date, not been reimbursable. Under the final rule, CMS added codes for psychoanalysis and family psychotherapy as well as codes that will allow mental health providers to report sessions that require more than the one hour visit. In addition, codes for the new management of chronic illness have been issued.
In July of 2013, Kentucky Medicaid issued final rules expanding the coverage of telemedicine services for Medicaid beneficiaries. Although providers are still limited to using only interactive video-conferencing to qualify for reimbursement under Kentucky's new rules, Medicaid beneficiaries now have access to a broader list of providers and telemedicine services. It is important to note that Kentucky has statutory requirements that include approval of equipment by its telehealth network. Providers have reason to be hopeful about future policy changes that will expand Medicare and Medicaid payment for services provided through telemedicine
Commercial Insurers
While expansion of commercial coverage of telemedicine often depends on whether state law requires parity vis a vis other services, insurers are expanding telehealth coverage to reduce unnecessary costs including urgent care and emergency department visits. Quite simply, attractive cost savings will drive commercial insurers and employers to cover and provide more services via telemedicine. Insurers already often encourage members to access contracted providers to address questions via telephone or email. The expansion of these services to include evaluation and treatment appears logical. The same critical analysis must be undertaken by providers, insurers and managed care organizations alike to determine whether services may be provided under state law through telehealth as well as the requirements for how those services should be performed via telehealth. Issues to keep in mind include state laws addressing telehealth/telemedicine, requirements for equipment, state professional licensure laws and guidance, prescribing laws, location of the patient, privacy, security and confidentiality of medical records as well as other miscellaneous concerns.
Widespread adoption and use of telemedicine is inevitable; so, too, is the potential for noncompliance and a minefield of problems. The requirements outlined just a few of the issues that providers must keep in mind as they establish innovative and exciting telehealth services. Telehealth services are the way of the future and will change the how health care is provided. Providers who incorporate telehealth as a new line of service may have tremendous opportunities to increase reimbursement.

The DOJ Increases Scrutiny of Whistleblower False Claims Act Suits
The Criminal Division of the Department of Justice ("DOJ") recently announced that it will review all complaints filed under the qui tam provisions of the federal False Claims Act ("FCA") to determine if a parallel criminal investigation is appropriate. This announcement came during a September 17, 2014 speech by the recently-confirmed Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division of the DOJ, Leslie Caldwell, at the Taxpayers Against Fraud Education Fund Conference in Washington D.C. This DOJ announcement signals a departure from prior policy, which allowed, but did not require, the Criminal Division to investigate Civil Division claims. In the past, the decision to open a criminal investigation was left to the discretion of each U.S. Attorney's Office.
Now, the Civil Division of the DOJ will share all new qui tam complaints with the Criminal Division as soon as they are filed. This change in procedure will likely be detrimental for defendants in future qui tam cases. With the Criminal Division more involved in False Claims cases, settlements with the government may become more difficult due to the need for approval from both the Civil and Criminal Divisions. Defendants may also face increased pressure to accept settlement offers from the government to avoid high-risk criminal penalties.
In 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder and Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announced the creation of an interagency task force, the Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Action Team ("HEAT"), to increase coordination and optimize criminal and civil enforcement. This coordination yielded momentous results: the Department recovered $12.1 billion dollars under the False Claims Act from January 2009 through the end of the 2013 fiscal year. Most of these recoveries relate to fraud against Medicare and Medicaid Programs. In fiscal year 2013 alone, the DOJ recovered $2.6 billion dollars for health care fraud violations and brought health care fraud-related prosecutions against 345 individuals.
Thus, providers seeking reimbursement from federal programs should be aware that non-compliance risks have never been greater. Providers or entities faced with a civil qui tam suit should immediately evaluate their exposure to possible criminal charges. Because an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, companies should closely review their compliance programs and pay special attention to the protocols in place to prevent and detect potential false claims or billing violations.

Kentucky Rural Health Clinics and FQHC's/Look- A-Likes with Low Rates—Don't Overlook this Rate Increase!
Posted by McBrayer, McGinnis, Leslie & Kirkland, PLLC in Health Care Law, Medicaid, Qualified Health Care Centers ("FQHC"), Rural Health Centers ("RHCs") on November 10, 2014
Approved by CMS and effective July 1, 2014, Kentucky's Medicaid Program may now pay certain Rural Health Clinics ("RHC"), Federally Qualified Health Care Centers ("FQHC") and Look-a-Likes a higher rate. The Department of Medicaid Services ("Medicaid") sought approval to pay RHCs, FQHCs and Look-A-Likes that have a low per visit PPS rate at a rate equal to 125% of the Medicare rate. This means that Kentucky RHCs, FQHCs and Look-A-Likes with low Medicaid rates, just got a raise– that is if they claim it! While the Medicaid State Health Plan Amendment provides that an "Alternative Payment Methodology" is now available, this really means that clinics with low rates can ask to be paid at a higher rate per visit without qualifying for a change in scope of service. This increase in rate is supposed to be effective on July 1, 2014, but is based upon the Medicare Upper Payment Limit for RHCs as of September 30, 2014 and the rate as we calculate it is approximately $99.70. Essentially, this means that providers with rates below the $99.70 threshold may elect to be paid under the alternative payment methodology.
Interestingly, the same State Plan Amendment also made it more difficult for these providers to pursue an increase in its by claiming a change in scope of services that would justify re-calculation of the PPS rate. This Amendment makes clear that a change in hours, a change in location, or a renovation or new capital expense will not qualify as a change in scope of service and increase in the rate; only the addition of a covered service or increase in intensity of service will qualify for a change in scope of services.
Medicaid has yet to issue any guidance about how to claim this increase and/or elect the alternative payment methodology, but is required to make the increase effective commencing July 1, 2014. This increase in rate, If properly claimed, will also increase the amount of supplemental or wrap payment that a RHC, FQHC, or Look-A-Like must be paid. Providers should carefully watch the amounts that are paid as supplemental/wrap payments by Medicaid and assure that they are paid the amounts that they are entitled to. My suggestion is to claim this alternative payment methodology as quickly as possible. This will bring much needed financial relief to many underpaid providers that struggle to provide safety net services in underserved areas.

Changes Proposed for Anti-Kickback Statute
It has been said before—healthcare is changing. Most often providers must adapt their practices to comply with governing regulations. Sometimes, governing regulations must be revised to adapt to providers practices. And on occasion, governing regulations must be revised to be consistent with other governing regulations. This is one of those occasions.
On October 3, 2014, the Office of Inspector General ("OIG") published a Proposed Rule ("Rule") that would make changes to the safe harbor regulations under the federal anti-kickback statute ("AKS"). Much of the Rule codifies changes to the AKS that were already established by the Affordable Care Act and the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003. It also, however, proposes two new safe harbors.
Codification of Pre-Existing Safe Harbors
Part D Cost-Sharing Waivers by Pharmacies: The Rule would protect certain cost-sharing waivers, including pharmacy waivers for financially needy Medicare Part D participants. Generally, cost-sharing waivers are prohibited by the AKS. To meet the safe harbor, pharmacies would need to meet three criteria: (1) the waiver/reduction is not advertised or part of a solicitation; (2) the pharmacy does not routinely wave cost-sharing; and (3) before waiving a cost-sharing obligation, the pharmacy determines in good faith that either the beneficiary has a financial need or the pharmacy fails to collect cost-sharing amounts after making a reasonable effort to do so.
Federally Qualified Health Centers and Medicare Advantage Organizations: This Rule would protect certain remuneration between federally qualified health centers and Medicare Advantage organizations pursuant to a written agreement requiring that the Medicare Advantage organization pay the contracting health center no less than the level and amount that the plan would pay for the same services to another type of entity.
Medicare Coverage Gap Discount Program: To implement another existing exemption in the AKS, one that was added in 2010 with the Affordable Care Act, the OIG would add a safe harbor protecting brand drug discounts provided by drug manufacturers to Part D enrollees in the coverage gap under the Medicare Coverage Gap Discount Program. The safe harbor would incorporate the definitions of "applicable beneficiary" and "applicable drug" which are set forth in the Affordable Care Act.
New Safe Harbors
Local Transportation: The OIG would establish a new safe harbor protecting free or discounted local transportation made available to patients by an eligible entity, provided that the following criteria are met: (1) the availability of the transportation services is not determined in a manner related to the past or anticipated volume or value of referrals; (2) the transportation does not take the form of air, luxury, or ambulance-level transportation; (3) the services are not marketed or advertised, no marketing of healthcare items and services occurs during the course of the transportation, and drivers or others arranging for the transportation are not paid on a per-beneficiary basis; (4) the eligible entity that makes the transportation available bears the costs of the transportation services and does not shift the burden onto other payors; and (5) the distance from the patient's location to the provider is no more than 25 miles. Entities that supply health care items (such as pharmaceutical companies and durable medical equipment suppliers) and laboratories are excluded from the definition of "eligible entities."
Cost-Sharing Waivers for Emergency Ambulance Services: This Rule would establish a safe harbor to protect reductions or waivers of cost-sharing amounts for emergency ambulance services furnished by providers owned by states or municipalities. Generally, items and services provided free of charge by a governmental entity are not reimbursable. The providers would be required to offer the reduction or waiver on a uniform basis, without regard to patient-specific factors. The OIG is also seeking an express prohibition against claiming the amount reduced or waived as bad debt for payment purposes under Medicare or a State health care program, or otherwise shifting the burden of the waiver to other payors.
Technical Correction
Finally, the Rule would also amend the existing safe harbor for referral services to clarify that the safe harbor precludes protection for payments from participants to referral services that are based on the volume or value of referrals to, or business otherwise generated by, either party for the other party. The "either party for the other party" language was inadvertently changed in a 2002 revision, but appeared in the 1999 Rule.
In addition to proposed changes to the AKS, the Rule also proposes changes to the civil monetary penalty rules. These changes would allow providers greater flexibility to enter into beneficial arrangements that are not in violation of the statute. The OIG is soliciting comments on how to best implement the changes. Comments on the Rule are due by December 2, 2014. If you are in the health care industry and would like more information contact a health care law attorney today.

Reclassification of Hydrocodone Takes Effect This Week
Posted by McBrayer, McGinnis, Leslie & Kirkland, PLLC in APRNs, Dispenser, Health Care Law, Healthcare Regulation, Hydrocodone, Kentucky Pharmacists Association, Prescriber on October 7, 2014
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration ("DEA") published a Final Rule on August 22, 2014, which elevates hydrocodone-combination products ("HCPs") to a Schedule II category of drugs under the Controlled Substances Act. That rule becomes effective this week – on October 6, 2014. While some hydrocodone products are already listed as Schedule II, some combination products (such as Vicodin, Norco, and Tussionex) were previously listed on the less-restrictive Schedule III. In determining whether rescheduling was necessary, the DEA considered multiple factors including the potential for abuse, likelihood of dependence, and the threat to public health posed by the drug.
How does the new rule affect prescribers?
According to DEA, HCPs prescriptions issued prior to October 6, 2014 and authorized to be filled or refilled may be dispensed if such dispensing occurs before April 8, 2015. In some cases, pharmacy dispensing software products may not be able to process existing refills starting on October 6, or pharmacies may simply choose not to dispense refills after the effective date.
Pursuant to the Final Rule, HCPs prescriptions written on or after October 6, may not be refilled. No refills are allowed by any practitioner for Schedule II controlled substances and Schedule II prescriptions may only be given for maximum of a 30-day supply. Commentators to the proposed rule worried that rescheduling would result in more trips to the doctor to receive appropriate pain control. In response to these concerns, the DEA noted in the Final Rule that prescribers may issue multiple prescriptions authorizing patients to receive up to a 90-day supply, provided certain regulatory requirements (established in 21 CFR 1306.12) are met.
In addition, in Kentucky, Schedule II controlled substance prescriptions may not be faxed or called in to a pharmacy except as provided for in 902 KAR 55:095. Schedule II controlled substance prescriptions that are electronically prescribed must use a system that has been audited for compliance with the regulations specified in 21 CFR 1311. Further, Schedule II controlled substance prescriptions are valid for 60 days from the date written and controlled substance prescriptions must be signed and dated on the date issued by the prescriber.
Kentucky prescribers should be aware that restrictions on prescribing existing Schedule II pure hydrocodone products remain under current Kentucky statutes and regulations because these products were not rescheduled to Schedule II.
Midlevel providers who operate under collaborative agreements or are limited in their ability to prescribe certain Schedules of medications may be particularly affected by the Final Rule. In Kentucky, KRS 314.011, Section 8 (a) limits APRN prescribing of Schedule II controlled substances to a 72 hour supply with no refills, except certified psychiatric-mental health nurses are permitted to prescribe up to a 30-day supply of a Schedule II psychostimulant with no refills. KRS 314.011, Section 8 (b) limits APRN prescribing of Schedule III controlled substances to a 30-day supply with no refills. Because KRS 314.011, Section 8 (b) was in effect March 19, 2013, all APRNs will continue to be permitted to prescribe a 30-day supply of Schedule II hydrocodone combination products if allowed under their DEA license.
Even if the Final Rule does not specifically affect a prescriber's abilities, prescribers should be prepared to work with pharmacies in order to minimize dispensing disruptions after the effective date. They should also identify and inform patients who are currently receiving HCPs about the rescheduling and, if necessary, discuss alternative pain management options. And, as prescribers well know, any new regulatory framework also brings with it the expectation of greater scrutiny and oversight in the future from regulatory authorities and law enforcement agencies.

The Finalized Meaningful Use Rule – What Providers Need To Know
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") finalized a rule ("Final Rule") on August 29, 2014, giving health care providers a bit more breathing room to comply with the Electronic Health Record ("EHR") Incentive Program's ("the Program's") meaningful use requirements. The Program began as a way to motivate health care providers to implement EHR systems. Hospitals and health care professionals can qualify through the Program for incentive payments from CMS for the "meaningful use" of certified EHR technology ("CEHRT"). What qualifies as "meaningful use" has been the source of much confusion. The Program is intended to be implemented in three stages, with each stage to be completed within one calendar or fiscal year.
Pursuant to the Final Rule, providers that were unable to fully implement the 2014 Edition of CEHRT for the 2014 reporting year can continue to use the 2011 Edition of CEHRT, or a combination of the 2011 Edition and the 2014 Edition, for the applicable 2014 reporting period. This is important because many providers have faced difficulties in obtaining the 2014 Edition of CEHRT due to high demand and delays in certification.
In addition to reporting flexibility in 2014, Stage 2 of the Program has been extended for a full year. Prior to the Final Rule, a provider that first became a 'meaningful user' in 2011 or 2012 would begin Stage 3 on October 1, 2015 (if reporting in a fiscal year), or January 1, 2016 (if reporting in a calendar year) Those dates have now been pushed back to October 1, 2016, and January 1, 2017, respectively.
The Final Rule also modifies reporting requirements for clinical quality measures ("CQMs") based on which edition of CEHRT a provider uses in 2014. All providers are required to select and report on CQMs from relevant data sets adopted in the Stage 2 Final Rule, regardless of the provider's stage of meaningful use or year of participation.
To learn more about the Final Rule and how it may affect providers, check back on Thursday.

Good start for WCHS tennis
Written by Brian Cunniff Wednesday, September 17, 2014 04:27 pm
It had been a rough go in recent years for the Wildwood Catholic High School girls tennis team. The Crusaders always seemed to field a very inexperienced team and often struggled to win even a few matches each season.
They've reversed the trend so far this fall.
Wildwood Catholic suffered only its first defeat in five matches so far this season Monday afternoon when it dropped a 3 ½-1 ½ decision to Holy Spirit. The point at first singles was halved when Catholic's Madison McNicholas and Spirit's Julia Dalzell could not finish a three-set marathon due to impending darkness. The players were tied at 5-5 in the third set when the match was called.
WCHS baseball coach steps down
Written by Brian Cunniff Wednesday, September 17, 2014 04:24 pm
Wildwood Catholic High School is seeking a new head baseball coach.
Bill Gianakopoulos has stepped down after three seasons due to increased job commitments, Wildwood Catholic athletic director Sal Zuccarello said.
Gianakopoulos, a former standout player at Wildwood Catholic, posted a career mark of 18-49. The Crusaders went 5-17 last spring but only had one senior on the roster. They are expected to return a large number of seniors in 2015, led by infielder/pitcher Kevin Laffey, pitcher/outfielder Tyler Norris and outfielder/pitcher Sal Zampirri.
Crusaders taking a step forward
Written by Brian Cunniff Wednesday, September 17, 2014 04:22 pm
STONE HARBOR – Through four games, the Wildwood Catholic High School girls soccer team has shown the rest of the Cape-Atlantic League that it is no longer a pushover.
The Crusaders moved their record to 2-2 Tuesday afternoon following a convincing 8-0 result over Cape May Tech, putting them halfway to their win total of last season only four games into the 2014 campaign.
Sophomore Caitlin McMullan recorded a hat trick, freshman Noelle Johnson added two goals and seniors Becky Andress, Olivia Rulon and Gia Tammmaro each added one for the Crusaders, who led 6-0 at the half.
Nicholas a defensive rock for Lady Tigers
Written by Brian Cunniff Wednesday, September 17, 2014 04:19 pm
ERMA – Brianne Nicholas is a defender for the Lower Cape May Regional High School field hockey team but moves up to offense when her team earns a penalty corner opportunity.
On Monday against Middle Township, Nicholas never got the chance to play offense because her team got zero corner chances.
But despite being completely uninvolved in her team's two scoring plays, Nicholas may have been the biggest reason the Lady Tigers recorded a rather unlikely 2-1 overtime win over their biggest rival.
Oakcrest girls win latest edition of 'sibling' rivalry
Written by Bill LeConey Wednesday, September 17, 2014 02:21 pm
HAMILTON TOWNSHIP – Inter-family squabbles are often the most heated, and there's no exception when it comes to girls soccer games between Oakcrest and Absegami high schools.
That's why Oakcrest coach Jason Hearn had mixed emotions after his team's 4-1 win over Absegami in a Cape-Atlantic League game on Sept. 11.
Hearn was very pleased with how his girls played, but not so happy about some of the "extra-curricular" activities that went on between the two teams, who are both members of the Greater Egg Harbor Regional School District.

Seniors Sierra Jordan and Janey Kogan bring experience and leadership. "There is tremendous athletic ability and experience on our team," Mathis said. "The girls are determined and mentally motivated."

LCM stuns Middle in field hockey
Written by Brian Cunniff Monday, September 15, 2014 07:08 pm
ERMA – If you've ever been to a high school field hockey game, you may have heard the chant "every corner is a goal" by the substitute players when their team is awarded a penalty corner chance.
That saying certainly did not apply to the Middle Township High School field hockey team Monday afternoon. The Lady Panthers scored just once off of an amazing 30 penalty corner chances and were left stunned when Lower's Carissa Scott scored on just her team's third shot on goal of the game a little more than three minutes into overtime as the Lady Tigers came up with a shocking 2-1 victory.
Catholic and Middle on level terms
Written by Brian Cunniff Saturday, September 13, 2014 03:39 pm
STONE HARBOR – You never know what you're going to get during rivalry games.
You can occasionally see the ugly side, with trash talking, chippy play and overzealousness from fans.
But sometimes, you get what happened in Friday's Middle Township-Wildwood Catholic boys soccer game – an intense, well-played game with great exhibitions of sportsmanship.
The contest ended in a 1-1 draw, Middle preventing a mild Wildwood Catholic upset when Trent Canter scored six minutes from full time to bring his side to equal terms. Wildwood Catholic had taken the lead early in the second half on Sal Zampirri's exquisitely placed free kick from 19 yards after teammate Tyler Mericle was fouled during a challenge on a ball in the air.
Banged-up Middle falls just short in opener
Written by Brian Cunniff Saturday, September 13, 2014 07:25 am
CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE – Colin Cooper's catch and run on a 72-yard touchdown reception epitomized the effort of the Middle Township High School football team Friday night.
Cooper caught the long pass near the Vineland 30-yard line, then broke a series of tackles and practically carried two Vineland defenders on his back as he crossed the goal line to draw the Panthers within a point with 47 seconds remaining in the game.
Middle coach Frank Riggitano, knowing his team was besieged by injuries to that point, decided to go for a two-point conversion and the lead rather than kicking the extra point and most likely setting up overtime. Joe Durso's pass on the conversion was tipped away at the goal line and Vineland recovered the ensuing onsides kick to hold on for a 27-26 victory.
Egg Harbor Township opens new era with dramatic victory
Written by Bill LeConey Saturday, September 13, 2014 12:17 am
ATLANTIC CITY - Kevin Stetser said before the season started that it was time for the Egg Harbor Township High School football program to win again.
Not just to compete, not to play for the tie and overtime on the road – but to win.
In his wildest dreams, he probably didn't expect it to happen quite like this, right off the bat.
"It was amazing, it really was," Stetser said after his team rallied for a dramatic 28-27 victory over Atlantic City Friday in his debut as head coach.

Gibson ties LCM scoring mark
Written by Brian Cunniff Friday, September 12, 2014 08:16 am
Gabriella McKeown. Jen Fetsick. Mike Gavin.
They are some of the most prolific scorers in the history of high school soccer in Cape May County.
Madie Gibson has a chance to pass them all.
Gibson, a senior forward at Lower Cape May Regional High School, scored her fourth and fifth goals of the season and 90th of her career during Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Cedar Creek that improved her team to 3-0 for the season.
Gibson is now tied for the program's all-time lead with former teammate Gabriella McKeown, who's currently contributing as a freshman at Division I Temple University. And, of course, she was also just 10 away from the magical 100-goal mark, a plateau that's been reached by a female player from the county only four times. The county leader is Wildwood's Jen Fetsick, who netted 109 in a career that ended in 2003.
Also within reach is Mike Gavin's overall school soccer scoring record of 111 goals.
No imminent demise for Middle
Written by Brian Cunniff Friday, September 12, 2014 08:12 am
WILDWOOD – Anyone who may have thought the Middle Township High School boys soccer team's run of success was over when 10 senior starters graduated from last season's South Jersey championship club is greatly mistaken.
Middle, with a lineup full of sophomores and juniors, has looked mighty impressive through two games, picking up an important Cape-Atlantic National Conference win in a 2-0 road result over Buena late last week before handling non-league foe Wildwood, 6-0, on Tuesday evening at Maxwell Field.
"When we went up to Buena we started 10 kids who were starting a varsity game for the first time, and when you do that you're never sure what you're going to get," Middle coach John Maher said. "But our five sophomores (who started) trapped and passed pretty well and played under composure."
Middle must overcome early injuries
Written by Brian Cunniff Friday, September 12, 2014 08:09 am
When the Middle Township High School football team held a mini camp in June, head coach Frank Riggitano was quite pleased with the team's depth.
"When we came out of mini camp, it looked like we might only have three kids (starting) both ways," he said.
The preseason turned into a different story, however. Injuries to key personnel, the loss of two players due to their respective families' relocation out of the area and some disciplinary measures leave Middle a little short heading into its opener against Vineland on Friday evening at 7 at Memorial Field.
Still, Middle is optimistic this can be a very good season. The Panthers went 4-6 last fall with a large group of underclassmen, many of whom are now more experienced seniors and juniors. In addition, the preseason injuries have allowed some younger players to gain more playing time in practice and scrimmages, which certainly can do nothing but help.
Caper Tigers appear in better shape
Written by Brian Cunniff Friday, September 12, 2014 08:07 am
There is one burning question as the Lower Cape May Regional High School football team prepares for its season opener in Delaware this weekend: Are the Caper Tigers better equipped to compete?
The answer seems to be yes.
Lower Cape May has had more than 40 players in its program this preseason. That might not be an overwhelmingly high number for a school that sits on the large side of Group II, but it's certainly better than what it had last season. The Tigers, as was highly publicized, were forced to forfeit their last four games by the Cape-Atlantic League after the team announced it could not play Holy Spirit in late October due to a lack of healthy players. Lower played junior varsity contests for the remainder of the season.
This year's Lower team is still a little short on experience – there are many underclassmen among the ranks – but it certainly seems in better position to handle the rigors of an entire season at the varsity level.

I think everyone outside of Indiana and Atlanta (well maybe not Atlanta) can agree that they can find about a million better things to do besides watching the playoff series between the Pacers and the Hawks. It's the least talked about series simply because both teams lack a box office type player and they play hideous basketball. The series is so bad that Inside the NBA literally fast forwarded through the highlights of the game a few nights ago. Well according to the Express-News, fans aren't the only ones who think the series is unwatchable. San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker, whose team is waiting to find out who their second-round opponent will be after sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers, says he likes watching every other series but that one. "I watch every game," he said. "I'm a student of the game. I love watching the games. The playoffs, all the games are really good. You can always learn something." Even Atlanta-Indiana, widely regarded as the dud of the first round? "Except that one," he joked. "I turned that off."

It's Not News Unless It's Jews News
Shalom Life speaks with founder of most popular Jewish Facebook fan page
By: Sammy Hudes
Millions of Jewish people across the world are by now familiar with Jews News, a popular Facebook page that has rapidly risen to prominence during the past eight months.
Founded by Eliyokim Cohen in 2010, the fan page really took off this January when it had around 8,000 likes at the time. Today, it surpassed 300,000 fans, making it by far the largest Jewish-themed page on Facebook.
"I never really put much effort into it until this January when I realized how much potential it had. Then I just sort of started spending all my time on it and now we started putting a lot of money into it through Facebook ads," Cohen told Shalom Life in an exclusive interview from Israel. "My goal is to have the biggest Jewish Facebook page in the world and to unite the Jewish people. We're very fractured right now and you see that most clearly in Israel."
Originally from Boston, Mass., Cohen says he grew up non-observant but still had a "typical Jewish upbringing." He attended Hebrew school on Sundays and says he always loved Israel, although never fully understood what it meant to be Jewish.
"I just thought it was like any other thing, sort of like a hobby," he said.
While living in the U.S., Cohen attended college at the University of Georgia. Later in his life, he found himself in trouble with drug addiction for seven to eight years and in 2008 was caught in a high-speed car chase from the police.
Cohen spent some time in prison and decided to make some life changes once he was released. He began learning Torah with a rabbi and soon became observant. After also attending yeshiva, he opted to move to Israel.
"When you're starting Judaism from scratch, you realize that everything about Judaism revolves around Israel. To live in New York or to live in Atlanta didn't make any sense to me so I wanted to go to the place that makes the most sense as a Jew," Cohen says.
He has now lived in the settlement of Shiloh, located about a half hour north of Jerusalem, for two years. Cohen now dedicates much of his time toward his goal of uniting Jewish people around the world.
"Ever since I became observant, I wanted to bring Judaism to people that grew up like me. I always loved being Jewish but never knew why. Everyone's on Facebook, so I wanted to try and find a way to get Jews together, get them discussing things, and share things with them that they've never seen before or I thought were interesting, so I started [the page]."
Cohen posts articles and photos related to Judaism on the page all day long, often every hour or so. Once it gets too late in Israel for him to post, Cohen's friend in California takes over the page for the next four to seven hours.
There are currently over 200,000 people "talking about" Jews News, according to Facebook, and its weekly reach is 7,000,000 per week. The total reach is close to 80,000,000 says Cohen, the largest of any Jewish page.
Future plans include the launching of a website following the holiday of sukkot in early October. Jews News has also partnered up with Aliyah Magazine, an Israel-based outlet aimed at breaking some of the common stereotypes regarding Israeli life and culture within the Diaspora.
Given the efforts he is putting into the page and its current numbers, Cohen expects to hit 1,000,000 likes in the coming months.
In addition to political commentary and religious messages, Cohen is known to share humourous images on his page, often featuring adorable animals and food art.
"I started realizing that if you post pictures, those are things that people look at the most and share the most. They can just look at a picture, which is brainless," he says. "It takes two seconds. It just sort of snowballed from there. I want to give everybody something they can find interesting from the page."

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Yes, I have seen Jane Wile's great site and just for information purposes, Angus' mother was Alexanderena Rose, a.k.a. Sandrena, b. 1817 in P.E.I.
The one other Dykens that crosses my Johnson's is Bessie. I don't have any other information on her other than she was born after the 1901 Census and she married James Borden Morrison, who was born in 1900. At the time of the 1901 census, his parents, John Duncan and Nancy (Roblee) Morrison were listed as boarders with a Patriquin family in the Wentworth area, Cumberland County. James and Bessie had children, Dorothy, Basil and Martha.

Death of neighbor of homicide victims 'suspicious;' police mum on connection
Shawn P. Burne, 37, of 41 Newbury St., was found dead on Wednesday, just 10 days after Burne's neighbors, William and Eleanor Grant, were found stabbed to death on June 17 at their home next door at 37 Newbury St.
According to police and court records, Burne was arrested on Feb. 13 for violating a protective order. According to documents on file at the 9th Circuit Court, Nashua Division, Burne made verbal contact with his 89-year-old grandfather, Joseph Felix, at 48 Underhill St. on Feb. 3.
On May 14 — just six weeks prior to Burne's death — Burne pleaded guilty to the offense and was sentenced by Judge James Leary to 30 days in jail. However, his jail time was all suspended pending one year of good behavior and participation in a drug and alcohol counseling program, as well as a mental health program, according to court documents.
Prior to the double homicide, a surveillance camera had been installed at the front of her three-story apartment building. However, she said last week that the camera had been temporarily dismantled and was not operating the weekend of the killings.
William Grant, 83, and Eleanor Grant, 78, had lived in the small Newbury Street residence for more than 40 years, according to neighbors, who described the couple as kind and generous. They had been married for more than 50 years.
Police Chief John Seusing said recently that the Nashua Police Department has a lot of manpower working the case and has added extra patrols to the Newbury Street area.
Still, he stressed that citizens need to pay attention to their surroundings and report anything suspicious or uncomfortable. Seusing said the additional police presence and reassurance that the case is being thoroughly investigated should help alleviate some worry.
Police have remained tight-lipped about the investigation, refusing to answer questions about what type of weapon may have been used, whether there was forced entry into the home or whether any items were stolen.

These are a few of my favorite things.
It's almost as if the outside air gets colder with each falling leaf. Summer has officially come to an end, and while brief, has given us quite a bit to reflect on.
Waiting and wondering has been a theme throughout these blogs.
His name is Achieve. One definition of the word states that it means "to reach or attain (a desired objective, level, or result) by effort, skill, or courage." And Jodie Pointer thinks the handle fits her 22-year-old now white son of Waquoit.
We check in on some recent Pensioners, who are living the retired life around the region.
A small Delaware farm literally minutes from the Atlantic Ocean isn't exactly the place you expect to find foxhunters, much less off-the-track Thoroughbreds. Standardbreds and Chincoteague ponies, maybe–after all, when in Rome. . . but thanks to CANTER Mid Atlantic, former runners Areutrue and Bling Star Dreams are thriving with owners Jim and Pat Griffin at 20-acre Stillwater Farm in Lewes.
"It's a dying art and we need to recognize it and do something about it."
A trainer said that to me, during a late-August conversation about a horse, a race, a way of life, an opportunity. He (or she, I'm not saying) was talking about the state of racing in the region, the nation, maybe even the world for all I know. I gently steered the conversation back to the topic at hand and we ended on a positive note but those words are scribbled in my notebook.
Haunting me.
A few days before this magazine went to press, I read an article by associate editor Cindy Deubler and thought about October. The year's 10th month includes the Maryland Million, the West Virginia Breeders Classics, the Far Hills Races, champion-ship races at Belmont Park, the first day of the Breeders' Cup and plenty of other big events in Thoroughbred racing. Other than Triple Crown time and August in Saratoga, October might be racing's most glossy postcard.
Gary Murray will be on the farm in Maryland, trying to get something done about a horse, a piece of equipment, a fencepost, anything and he'll see Tom Voss."I see him every day at home on the farm, in a tractor shed grumbling about something, trying to fix something that's broken 15 times," said Murray, Voss' son-in-law, on a Tuesday morning at Saratoga. "I might try to do the same things he did, but I don't have the same skills as Tom."
A few photos from the past in our November magazine.
Mid-Atlantic connections are popping up everywhere, from Arlington to Saratoga. Here are a few that our own Mid-Atlantic encyclopedia and Associate Editor Cindy Deubler caught over Labor Day.
Which Mid-Atlantic-bred horses have won the middle jewel of the Triple Crown? Cindy Deubler has the list:
We know you were wondering which Midlantic-bred horses have won the Kentucky Derby. Here's the list:
Jay Trump's sweep of Maryland's three major timber races, the first time in 17 years, culminated with a second consecutive Maryland Hunt Cup victory.
The Thoroughbred world suffered a great loss with the death of Richard Small this past weekend. Read Vinnie Perrone's award-winning story from the February 2009 Mid-Atlantic Thoroughbred of this Maryland icon. He captured the man like no one else ever could:
This weekend the Elkridge-Harford Point-to-Point runs at the Voss family's Atlanta Hall in Monkton, Maryland. The locals call them The Voss Races. Mostly due to one man's overwhelming influence on the event, Tom Voss. This past January, the industry lost this great horseman and friend. He will be notably missed by many who attend tomorrow's event. We dug into our archives for Joe Clancy's August 2002 story.

EA have officially confirmed that NBA Live 08 is heading to the Wii.
No release dates or control schemes are known. EA's last sports game on the Wii, Madden 07 was a critical success and brought a refreshing change to the series using the motion sensors. Hopefully the NBA Live 08 project, led by EA's Canada division can achieve similar results.
Gilbert Arenas, the Washington Wizards' star will make it onto the game's front cover.
Good hustle?

Yeah Gilbert! First Ovechkin and now Arenas. Washington is full of young stars. Next it will be Freddy Adu's turn.
Elementrat said:
As much as I dislike the majority of sports games, this is an incredibly good sign. Developers seemed to shy away from the Gamecube, and Ninty lost a lot of fans because of that. I hope Big N can regain its sports prowess.

Might be hard. The Wii-mote technically isn't suited for all games.

Cool! But why can't chuancy billups but on the cover. We need a piston on one of the cover.

I wonder if Gilbert can take off his jersey and throw it into the crowd after the end of a game. Or maybe he will be throwing his jersey in the cover.

God bless You EA. I'm so happy! I promise you I'm getting this.
Gonzo said:
Oh, Gilbert Arenas! I love him!
SonyWii360 said:
Not really into sports games, but this one might have me. The only thing I'm worried about is the control scheme for the Wii. Can the wiimote support sport games? Only time will tell. Can't wait though should be interesting. Oh, Steve Nash should've been on the cover.

Wii is freakin awesome. Can't wait until nba.

Nice basketball games in Wii, I don't need to spend $400 on xbox no more. Wonder how you shoot in Wii.

Nba live 08 is horrible, no franchise, no dynasty, gameplay is average. EA is really starting to thin itself.

Everything's good except there is no dynasty mode.

I hate the judges on the slam dunk contest.

They should make it so that you can do fantasy-draft in season mode.

When are they going to make a college hoop game for Wii? I am dying to play college hoops. I just hope it has a good march madness mode and dynasty college football sucked.

Sometimes I need an office look, so I kind of tend to wear skirts and shirts. These ones are made by myself entirely and look so good together. The shirt was a quick project because I had none at that time and really needed one for an interview, and the skirt was made out of an old one, which actually belonged to my grandma.

The Chinese government has responded to complaints about chicken jerky treats imported from that country that have been linked to dog illnesses in the US and have been the subject of recent investigations by the US Food and Drug Administration.
Congressman Jerry McNerney wrote a letter to the Chinese government about the chicken jerky treats, asking the government to "consider halting production of these chicken jerky treats until the FDA can determine whether or not the products contain tainted material."
In response, the Chinese government wrote, "From the perspective of the Chinese side, there might be something wrong with the FDA's investigation guidance." According to a report, the letter also warned not to influence public opinion and "to clear the name of Chinese petfood and eliminate the negative impact thereof on Chinese petfood trade and bilateral relationship."
We asked Carol Jones-Adams, who founded and runs functional treat maker Overby Farm with her husband and business partner, Bob Adams, to tell us more about her company
Proudly based in Brooklyn, New York, this organic treat company has enjoyed quadruple growth by focusing on every element of its product and packaging
The company builds on its boutique business with three new lines for pet stores, including baked dog food and treats
The new US food safety legislation will also affect regulation of petfood
What you need to keep your manufacturing line clean, safe and contaminant-free
Processors should carefully develop, validate and implement an effective kill step to support production of pathogen-free petfoods
Committees discussed key proposals such as a possible shift in the oversight of animal feeds
The mid-year meeting addressed several regulatory matters affecting petfoods
