Reimbursement under the hospital inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS) is reduced for certain cases that are transferred to other facilities for continuing care. These cases may include patients requiring treatment in facilities not available at the admitting hospital or those sent to another facility for post acute care.
Since the beginning of the IPPS, reimbursement for patients transferred to another short-term acute care hospital has been reduced on a per diem basis. Since FY99, adjustments also have been made for specific diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) where the patient was transferred to a post acute care setting. The number of effected DRGs rose from 10 in FY99 to 174 in FY07, and the number has risen to 273 in FY08 under the expanded MS-DRGs. In addition to these DRGs, a number of special-pay DRGs receive further reductions. There were 13 of these special-pay DRGs in FY06, and just 12 in FY07, but the number has climbed to 25 in FY08.
For the three types of effected transfers, reimbursement is reduced on a case if the covered days preceding the transfer are less than the published geometric mean length of stay (GMLOS) of the assigned DRG. Reimbursement is based on a per diem rate that is calculated as a hospital's normal reimbursement for the DRG divided by the GMLOS.
For transfers to another acute care hospital and for designated DRGs transferred to a post acute setting, the hospital receives double the per diem rate for the first day of stay plus the per diem rate for each subsequent day prior to the transfer. For special pay DRGs transferred to a post acute setting, the hospital receives the per diem rate for the first day plus one-half the per diem rate for each subsequent day prior to the transfer.
The difference between the normal DRG payment and the per diem payment is referred to as the transfer adjustment. An analysis of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) data found that from FY07 to FY08, the number of cases receiving transfer adjustments declined (see exhibit), as did the average transfer adjustment amount for each of the three types of transfers (see exhibit)
Based on the data, projections were further detailed to show the frequency of transfers by medical service and the percentage change in transfer adjustments from FY07 to FY08.
Changing regulations will likely result in patient reclassifications among medical services. The results of these reclassifications are shown in the table (see exhibit), which excludes some medical services with lower-volume Medicare utilization). The table further shows significant changes in the number of transfers for some medical services due to changing transfer thresholds associated with the new MS-DRGs.
Though the study findings do not point to any onerous changes in transfer payment under the IPPS regulations for FY08, it may be useful for hospitals to compare their own experiences with the approximately $4 billion in transfer adjustments projected for FY08. It also may be useful to compare utilization differences among medical services and the relative frequency of various types of transfers. The data further indicate the importance of ensuring that patients are coded accurately for MS-DRG assignment and that their discharge destinations are correct.
About the Study
Analysis is based on the FY06 MedPAR file that CMS used in promulgating the final regulations for FY08. This is a file of 100 percent of all Medicare fee-for-service claims representing discharges during the 12 months ending Sept. 30, 2006 and billed as of Feb. 28, 2007. Only short-term acute care hospitals were included in the analysis, and hospitals were excluded if they did not have sufficient data to project payment under the IPPS for the periods studied. More than 3,400 short-term acute care hospitals were included, representing more than $100 billion in IPPS payments per year.
IPPS payment was computed on a patient-by-patient basis under existing and new payment regulations for respective fiscal years. Each component of payment was included in calculating payment: the respective DRG definitions, relative weights, hospital blended rates, capital payments, outlier payments, DSH adjustments, IME adjustments, transfer adjustments, etc. No adjustments were made to the data to account for inflation among the periods.

Terrorists will fail in their efforts to destabilise Somalia, His Excellency Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon said today, after an attack against a restaurant in Mogadishu which killed one and wounded three.
The Prime Minister expressed his condolences to the families of those killed or injured in the car bomb attack against Lido Seafood Restaurant.
"Thanks to Somali security forces and AMISOM soldiers, terrorists have been expelled from Mogadishu and the security situation has been completely transformed. While we rebuild our country, all they offer is destruction. This is why Somalis have rejected them and this is why they will fail."

Home > Current Students > Alan Hutchcroft Alternative Spring BreakSpend Spring Break in Starkville (Mississippi, that is.)The Alan Hutchcroft Alternative Spring Break (AHASB) provides students the opportunity to participate in Habitat for Humanity's Collegiate Challenge. This alternative to more traditional spring break activities has become an important part of the Rockford University experience. In 2005 the trip was named in honor of the late Dr. Alan Hutchcroft, Rockford University Professor Emeritus of Chemistry. The Collegiate Challenge is an alternative spring break program that provides opportunities for university students to spend their school break building a house in partnership with the local Habitat for Humanity affiliate. It is a tradition of Rockford University to partner with Habitat for Humanity in Starkville, Miss. AHASB lives out the mission and vision of Rockford University by providing a life-changing experience as students serve the community of Starkville.A Collegiate Challenge trip may be the best spring break trip you will ever have. Not only do you help people in need — it's also fun! You'll have the chance to improve your carpentry skills, connect with new people while making a real difference in Habitat for Humanity's work of eliminating substandard housing.Alan Hutchcroft Alternative Spring Break (AHASB) Facebook page

What Tom Leppert's campaign tells you about Tom Leppert
Leppert and Oakley show that what you think about Dallas politics could be wrong
Matt Pulle's Our Man Downtown tonight with the results from early voting, which are as follows: Your early clubhouse leader is Tom Leppert, with 29 percent of the early vote (7,403 votes). Ed Oakley comes in at second, with 19 percent (4,957). Don Hill comes in third with 14 percent (3,583). Max We ... More >>
As of 577 precincts left to report -- meaning, all of them -- Tom Leppert's just waiting to find out who joins him in the runoff. Unless he gets 50 percent of the vote. Which ain't gonna happen. Well, I think we can say that Tom Leppert is safely in the runoff. He already has 7,403 votes in early vo ... More >>
Our Man Downtown Matt Pulle reports: Ten percent of the precincts have reported in, and Leppert's still holding strong with 29 percent of the votes (9,338 votes). Oakley's pulled up to 20 percent of the vote, with 6,508 votes counted so far. Don Hill remains in third, with 12.61 percent, or 4,060 vo ... More >>
Our Man Downtown says: Don Hill's done. Why? Because most of the Southern sector votes have been counted, and it's likely Hill will drop from here on out, especially as Lake Highlands and East Dallas precincts keep reporting in. For instance, Max Wells' former council district, which is now Bill Bla ... More >>
We're almost done tonight, folks: With most of the votes in -- 64,234, to be exact -- Tom Leppert's got 27.19 percent, or 17,463 votes. Ed Oakley's still in second, with 20.75 percent (or 13,328 votes). Don Hill's still in third, with 14.37 percent -- or 9,228 votes. Max Wells is still a little behi ... More >>
So, Jennifer Gale, who probably had to get a ride, showed to the final mayoral forum, but Don Hill, Ed Oakley and Max Wells couldn't be bothered. That's nice. More than two months ago, I attended a mayoral forum hosted by the Dallas Police Association and left thoroughly confused about how the top s ... More >>
I have nothing but ambiguity, confusion and darkness to offer you, Friends of Unfair Park, on the eve of tomorrow's mayoral election. There are no certainties, only wild cards. Here are just a few:
Tonight you can go ask Ed Oakley about the 2,000 apartments he wants to tear down -- to stop the crime, of course. A note to all our Friends concerned about the future of Deep Ellum (and the rest of Dallas, for that matter): You should attend tonight's Dallas Mayoral Leadership Forum, scheduled to ... More >>
Well, we were going to link to Max Wells' latest TV spot, in which some hired gun sits on his front-porch rocking chair while taking shots at Tom Leppert's love for Hawaii and that $6.6 mil check Turner Construction had to write to the government. Only, the ad, which was on Wells' multimedia Web pag ... More >>
Don Hill, we love your style -- goin' all aginner eight days before the election. Love it. Fabulous. Keep it up. You're now officially Jim Schutze's kind of guy. A mere afterthought in the mayor's race just a few weeks ago, the Trinity River Project -- specifically, the fate of the Trinity Parkway ... More >>

We've "max"ed out on old-age jokes
Don Hill's late decision to run for mayor could benefit other candidates
Brian Harkin Someone told us the other day this photo of Sam Coats almost makes them wanna vote for the guy. "Makes him look tough." Which is one way of putting it. If a mayoral candidate has a beef with one of his fellow combatants, we usually hear about it -- in the form of a press release, which ... More >>
Ed, couldn't you have found a mayor people actually voted for? And one they remember? C'mon -- you're loaded. Only a political reporter would ever say this: Sam Coats is super hot. This week, the afterthought candidate became the rage of the local blog world after he debuted two pitch-perfect comm ... More >>

Low on dough, Don Hill's finally talking about that danged ol' FBI investigation. Yeah, right -- what FBI investigation? Well, he brought it up. This afternoon, at a mayoral forum hosted by the Stemmons Corridor Business Association, Don Hill mentioned that he has been the subject of an FBI investig ... More >>
We took this off Sam Coats' Web site, because, damn it, it just makes us giggle. Just don't let Dr. Seuss' people see this. Well, it's time, once again, for your end-of-the-week rankings of the top eight mayoral candidates. Usually when I do this I make it clear there is a very distinct chance I don ... More >>
That's right, Don Hill. You are No. 1 on our hit parade this week. Hey, pal, you earned the right. I have a bit of a confession: I really like the candidates running for Dallas mayor. If I were 60 years older, I might even like to play shuffleboard with some of them. Just about all of them are intel ... More >>
We're not saying Matt Pulle has a man-crush on Sam Coats. We would never say it. Not outloud. Nope.

Gary Griffith says of Tom Leppert and Max Wells: They "simply miss the mark." Oh, no, he dint. Till now, Gary Griffith's mayoral campaign has been distinguished by his taste for cheese and his profound ability to fear-monger in the absence of idea-mongering. (Most recently, he's also come out for La ... More >>
Edward Okpa: If you aren't gonna take him seriously as a mayoral candidate, then we will. Of course, look what happened to the last guy bestowed that particular honor. On Tuesday the Northwood Republican Women's Club hosted a mayoral debate at a Luby's on Hampton Road. OK, not so much. Actually, the ... More >>
Have you heard? Tom Leppert is a businessman.

By now, you've no doubt seen Gary Griffith's anti-cheese ad; wow, really going out on a limb there, hunh, coming out against drugs. (Why "ironically called cheese," incidentally?) If you haven't seen the ad, which Griffith's peeps posted to YouTube this morning, here it is: Silly, innit? But we h ... More >>
We love this photo of Max Wells, because it suggests Max Wells already believes he's mayor. Actually, Ed Oakley already has the job of pretend mayor.

The Brooklyn Nets reached the postseason for the first time since 2007 after suffering through three-straight seasons of less than 25 wins, including a league-worst 70 losses just four seasons ago. The season, by most standards, would be considered a success, and it happened with an interim coach in PJ Carlesimo. However, a loss in the first round in seven games to a Chicago Bulls team decimated by injuries was not good enough for Russian billionaire-owner Mikhail Prokhorov. Carlesimo was fired over the weekend, and general manager Billy King has been given instructions to shoot high in the coaching search. Those names include legendary coach Phil Jackson, and former Jazz coach Jerry Sloan, according to a report in the NY Post.
Jackson has reportedly stated that he is ready to return to coaching, but he is in the process of serving as a consultant for the Pistons during their head coach search. Anyone would obviously love to land Jackson, but it often is reported that the only two landing spots in his future are the Lakers and the Knicks. However, both appear to be unlikely for the time being. The Lakers appear ready to move forward with Mike D'Antoni for another season, and Mike Woodson has earned another season at the Garden.
Sloan is an interesting choice. He had a hot-and-cool relationship with point guard Deron Williams when they were both in Utah, but Williams appears willing to endorse him. Sloan, himself, recently said that he is ready for a return. He was very successful during his 23-year tenure with the Jazz, missing the playoffs only three times. His two best teams ran into the same problem most other good teams of the 90s did, and that was meeting up with the Jackson-coached Bulls. Some guy named Michael Jordan played a large role in ruining Utah's chances to win an NBA championship. Twice
It is very little surprise that Prokhorov would want to land a big fish like this to lead his team. Ever since becoming owner, he has attempted to move the franchise forward. The Nets spent a lot of money in free agency a year ago and feel they have a team that can compete, though they still desire Dwight Howard in free agency, regardless of the salary cap. But while Prokhorov wants to make a big splash, he is more likely to find himself hiring another retread like Nate McMillan.

About the Brasenose Arms
The Brasenose Arms is a 17th century Country Inn, situated in the heart of Cropredy, a rural village just 4 miles north of Banbury, Oxfordshire. Originally three cottages, it was converted into a Public House in the late 17th century.
Cropredy lies on the west bank of the River Cherwell. Over 350 years ago, Cropredy Bridge was the site of a major battle during the English Civil War in 1644.
Today, it hosts Britain's (if not Europe's) 'friendliest' music festival – Fairport's Cropredy Convention – staged every year in August by members of the great British folk band – Fairport Convention. Here they are, sitting outside the pub, for the photo on the back of their 1973 album 'Nine'.
Everyone is welcome at the Brasenose Arms. It's a friendly 350 year old 'local' with a restaurant, contemporary en-suite accommodation to sleep 10, a 1/2 acre Beer Garden, regular live music, free wifi and a public laundry.

CCCC Confucius Classroom to host Chinese New Year Event
College & Community, College General, Special Events
SANFORD – On Sunday, Feb. 24, the Confucius Classroom at Central Carolina Community College will usher in the new lunar year by hosting "Among the Lights," a Chinese New Year musical event.rn
Scheduled for the day of the Chinese New Year Lantern Festival, the upcoming Confucius Classroom event will blend the musical experience of small ensemble concert with the educational insights of a special guest lecture.rn
"We are excited about this event," said CCCC Dean of University Transfer and Health Science Jon Matthews. "Since its inception, the college's Confucius Classroom has provided opportunities for local residents to enjoy live demonstrations of Chinese language, arts, and culture. 'Among the Lights' is unique in that it provides the audience with an intimate musical and literary perspective on a key element of the Chinese New Year holiday."rn
This event will feature visiting musicians from the North Carolina-Research Triangle Park Chinese Music Instruments Ensemble who will perform seasonal songs on traditional Chinese instruments.rn
Begun in 2003 to promote Chinese culture and community enrichment, the Ensemble's performances have included a Kun Opera at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill; the Eno River Festival at Eno River State Park in Durham; and a lecture demonstration at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem.rn
Joining the Ensemble musicians will be Ling Huang, visiting professor for the Confucius Classroom at CCCC, who will explain not only the significance of the songs to be performed but also the importance of other symbols and traditions associated with the Chinese New Year.rn
Also called Spring Festival, Chinese New Year marks the arrival of spring, an annual multiple-day observance that ends with the Lantern Festival, a lively celebration of fortune and renewal held on the day of the first full moon of the new lunar year.rn
As with other Chinese New Year activities and observances, the Lantern Festival has several customs unique to itself. Common customs include lighting lanterns, solving lantern riddles, and setting off fireworks; certain foods, songs, and poems also have great significance for this festival.rn
The CCCC Confucius Classroom "Among the Lights" event is scheduled for 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 24, in the auditorium of the Dennis A. Wicker Civic Center in Sanford.rn
Admission to this event is free, but seating is limited. Special seating accommodations and large-group options are available. To reserve free tickets, send an email to email@example.com
In partnership with the North Carolina State University Confucius Institute, the CCCC Confucius Classroom promotes an intercultural exchange of language and culture through a range of educational and outreach activities, including hosting cultural events and offering both curriculum and continuing education Chinese language courses.rn

Jets quickly turn focus to Pats after win vs. RamsThe Associated Press | November 20,2012AP Photo
Members of the Jets celebrate after their team scored a touchdown during the fourth quarter of Sundays 27-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams.FLORHAM PARK, N.J. Rex Ryan has no bold message for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots this week.
Nope, no fightin words this time around.
Im not even worried about tweaking New England or anybody else, Ryan said Monday. Its to the point where we have to focus on us.
After all, the way the usually brash coach sees it, the New York Jets (4-6) need to stay focused after ending a three-game skid Sunday with a 27-13 win at St. Louis.
Right now, were just swinging, Ryan said. Were going focus on our opponents, specifically, but anything we do, were behind where we have to be. We can only focus on ourselves and just find a way to punch it. We earned where we are and we just have to find a way to punch our way out.
The victory was a huge boost to the Jets dim playoff hopes. Now, Ryans squad has just a few days to prepare for the AFC East-leading Patriots, an extremely familiar opponent, and the teams showdown Thanksgiving night.
We know each other well, but clearly when you look at how their offense is, they can run a zillion different things, Ryan said. I dont know how much of a help (a short week) will be, but I guess well see on Thursday.
Fittingly, quarterback Mark Sanchez wore a white T-shirt in the locker room with the words We Will Persist printed across the chest and Until We Succeed on the back. He has worn it a few times during the season.
Thats the most important thing is to not change our preparation and make sure its focused the way it should be, he said. But not to press, not to take things too lightly, just attack it the right way, and I think the coaches have really put an emphasis on that. Well just keep rolling and hopefully rack up some more wins.
The Jets are tied with Buffalo and Miami at 4-6 for second place or, last place, depending on how you look at it in the division, with the Patriots holding a three-game lead.
While it appears likely New England will win its 10th AFC East title in 12 years, the Jets havent given up on getting back to the playoffs after missing out last season.
Ryan has repeatedly expressed his respect for Belichick and the Patriots, but has also issued bold statements leading up to their matchups. He said, I want them to know, and they know, that I think were going to beat them, last month before the Patriots pulled out a 29-26 overtime victory.
Ryan recognizes how dire the situation is right now, though, and that talk means little. Ryan isnt even concerned about needing to talk to his players about keeping the trash talk to a minimum.
I dont know how much of that there will be, he said. Its not something Ill bring up to the team.
Theres no doubt that the Patriots remain the Jets biggest rivals, an assessment left guard Matt Slauson agreed with Monday.
I dont hate the Patriots, Slauson said. I respect the heck out of them. Theyre a really good team but I like us a lot more.
Last week was tumultuous for the Jets, with anonymous teammates taking shots at Tim Tebow in a newspaper report, and Woody Johnson meeting with Ryan, general manager Mike Tannenbaum and others, according to another report.
A loss to the Rams might have signaled the start of a season unraveling. Instead, theres a new sense of confidence around the team.
It certainly helped that a few of the teams the Jets are chasing in the playoff picture lost Sunday, including Pittsburgh (6-4), Indianapolis (6-4) and San Diego (4-6). Not that Ryan and his team noticed, of course.
Were not getting into that now, Ryan said. We know we have to get better.
The play of Sanchez on Sunday was a good start. The beleaguered starting quarterback had his most efficient performance in more than a month, going 15 of 20 for 178 yards and a touchdown, and most importantly, no turnovers. Ryan and the Jets have stood by Sanchez all season despite the increasing calls from fans and media for the team to give Tebow a chance to save the season.
Its part of the job, Sanchez said. Its just the way things go when things dont go right on the field. Its natural, and its a little more enhanced here in a market like this, so its part of the territory. Ive been there before and it doesnt really affect what weve been doing.
At least for a few days, Sanchez quieted all that chatter.
I think he needed it just like the rest of us needed it, Ryan said. I dont think hes any different. We all needed it.
New York is 4-6 for the first time since 2009, when the Jets went on a roll and went all the way to the AFC championship game. While it may seem unrealistic to some that the Jets could produce a similar type of run, none of their remaining five opponents after the Patriots Arizona (4-6), Jacksonville (1-9), Tennessee (4-6), San Diego (4-6) and Buffalo (4-6) currently has a winning record.
We got better as the season went on, and I think thats clearly what we have to do now, Ryan said. If the players can draw from it, then thats great. Again, we have a ton of work in front of us and a short amount of time to prepare for, clearly, the best offensive team in the NFL.
NOTES: WR Jason Hill (low back) was the only player who did not participate in the teams walkthrough a rare practice under the lights. ... Ryan insisted he has not lost confidence in rookie WR Stephen Hill, who has dropped four passes, according to STATS LLC. One thing I know for sure is were going to keep throwing to him, Ryan said, and I think this young man is going to realize, by the way, you can play this game.

text: MacFarlane Didn't So Much as Tweak His Shtick for Oscar Night, Did He? by Christian Toto 24 Feb 2013 post a comment Share This: When you hire an edgy comic known for potty humor to host the Oscars you shouldn't be surprised when he trots out edgy jokes brimming with potty humor. Still, the folks behind the Oscars surely hoped Seth MacFarlane would class up his shtick - at least a little. So far, not so much. Trying to catch up on my notes, and I see a Lincoln assassination gag which hardly killed. Get it? Tee hee! Maybe I'll co-host with Tina and Amy next year. MacFarlane is a funny gent, a guy whose gross humor comes across with a sheepish grin. It's hard to get too offended by his wit. That said, the Oscar telecast deserves something more than what we're seeing tonight. Surely on some level he knew that, but perhaps he just didn't care.

I was first introduced to the fabulous world of California wine in Napa where I spent weekends bike riding and wine tasting with my parents up and down the Silverado Trail. Growing up in the East Bay Area it was only a hop...skip...jump away from wine country where my family would venture to relax and play every possible moment. It wasn't until my senior year at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo that I realized I had a passion for the wine industry. My first encounter with the working world of wine was my volunteer internship at Edna Valley Winery where I traveled to a number of tasting events with the marketing manager for the winery and realized I needed to get in the business. I added a minor in wine and viticulture to my communications studies major and ended up writing my thesis on the differences in wine marketing throughout a choice number of Paso Robles wineries. My first "real job" in the wine industry was at the smallest tasting room with the biggest personality in Paso Robles named Four Vines Winery. I worked there for almost three years while going to school and fell in love with not only central coast wines, but also with the business of sales and all those who loved, appreciated, and enjoyed our fruitful product. After graduation in 2007 I loved the central coast so much I decided to make a go for it and stay in this blissful paradise of beach and vines. I became fond very fond of making trips to Los Olivos and Santa Ynez valley quite often and in the mean time also became employed at Tolosa Winery in San Luis Obispo and 15 degrees wine bar in Templeton. In the summer of 2009 I decided to take a chance and move to Hollywood for more opportunity. Being from northern California I wanted to expand my horizons and see what the LA lifestyle was all about. I knew this was where I belonged the moment I stepped into this oasis of wine and cuisine. Never had I been to a place where I could find so many restaurants, bistros, wine bars, and the like within a 4 mile radius, and I don't have to get on the freeway! I'm in heaven. When I walked into the infamous K&L Hollywood Store it was love at first sight! I'm thrilled to be working here doing what I love, and love the incredible people here who share this passion and commitment with me.

Baron Fuente "Esprit" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 2-9-2011
This is one of my favorite direct import Champagnes because it is seamless from start to finish. Very elegant but brilliantly intense as well. Using all stainless steel and spending 7 years on the lees gives the wine its smooth and creamy texture with that nutty brioche and layers of complexity. Triple cream on the nose with pommace fruit on the mid palate and a crisp finish.
Price: Hidden
Laurent-Perrier Brut Champagne
Review Date: 2-9-2011
Although I am usually a fan of our smaller producer direct import Champagnes I really loved the Laurent-Perrier for the price! And we have the best price for this in town by the way. I love the crisp and elegant nose with a mousse filled mid-palate and a clean and toasty finish.
Price: $31.99
Michel Arnould Verzenay "Reserve" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 2-3-2011
Quite possibly the best deal in Champagne ever! Michel Arnould delivers way above and beyond! This direct import Pinot Noir based cuvee has a brightness to it that most Champagnes in this price range lack. Lots of citrus and wild berry fruit on the mid palate with bursting minerality and acid with a toasty but clean finish! Don't let this one pass you by...
Price: $32.99
Charles Baur Cremant d'Alsace Brut Rosé
Review Date: 2-2-2011
This is not your average Alsatian Sparkling Rose! This is complex, elegant, yet approachable and perfect for sipping day or night! Full of great flinty minerality and bright racy acid for texture, yet still has a brilliant aroma of strawberry seed and wild flowers. This will keep your loved one wanting more...perfect for lovers day!
Price: $18.99
Sorelle Bronca Prosecco DOCG
Review Date: 2-2-2011
This is K&L's best selling Prosecco by far! No matter who your entertaining, even yourself, you will revel in the masterpiece of sweet seduction! Perfectly balanced Italian style...Not too sweet, not too dry, but just right! Day time Brunch, or evening pre-dinner cocktail, this Prosecco is so pretty and elegant you just can't get enough!
Price: $17.99
Ariston Aspasie Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne
Review Date: 1-5-2011
Ariston has done it again! They have created a Blanc de Blanc Champagne that is so unique and special compared to all the typical blanc de blancs on the shelf. Right off the bat after the Champagne Pop you get a whiff of the aromas of fresh baked brie, ripe apple, and Gruyere fondue...followed by a mysterious mid-palate chalk full of minerals and body. This isn't your typical super racy and tight blanc de blanc. It is fully developed into a mature ready to drink state of mind. Finishes with caramelized fruit and nuts...Enjoy!!
Price: $34.99
Michel Arnould "Grand Cuvée" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 12-1-2010
This is my quintessential Classic Champagne for the Holidays and all Year round for that matter. Mineral and fresh on the nose, Rich and luscious on the mid-palate, with an elegant, seamless finish. It keeps you wanting more...
Price: $36.99
Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Réserve Champagne
Review Date: 10-3-2010
If you want a fantastic Champagne with a great reputation and uses better quality fruit than the beloved brand Veuve Clicquot! Feminine and rich, it brings a great balance and seamless effort on the palate. I've never tasted such great bubbles for under $30!
Price: $29.99
Bruno Michel "Les Roses" Brut Rosé Champagne
Review Date: 10-19-2009
A standout rosé from a boutique producer who is delivering everything and more for the most experienced Champagne afficianado to the novice taster. At K&L's Champagne tent event this year, this rosé stood out far beyond the rest of the competition. On the nose fresh strawberry and toast, followed by a rich yet delicate mid-palate and a finish of perfection! The grasping fresh fruit quality is insane without being overwhelming. The finesse and elegance of this French beauty is even more mind boggling. Enjoy this before the word gets out!
Price: $49.99

Post subject: hand-eye coordination and instrument playing
Do any instrument players here have a hard time learning music due to poor hand-eye coordination? My guitar playing suffers from this greatly. But I play very sloppy and miss a lot of notes no matter how well I know the music.

the only thing that i can't do with my hand-eye coordination is play the drum set. Although, i'm working at it, with lessons, but playing two or more different rhythms at the same time is really hard to do.

My coordination is fine, I guess. I play flute and piccolo very well, and have for almost 20 years. Since then, I've also taught myself the basics of clarinet, guitar, oboe, and now I'm teaching myself piano. The hardest part of piano is just that I've never read bass clef before. The coordination has never appeared to be a problem for me since my first instrument (flute) was one in which you only move fingers up and down on the keys, as opposed to moving them from fret to fret. I think that helped get me started. I'm a little slow at learning a tricky fingering, so I work harder at it; but once I get it down, I can play it faster than others. Plus, I have a skill no NTs have: hearing the notes. I can play any song, in any key, just by hearing it (top line only, being one note at a time). Eventually I hope to be able to do that on piano too, with chords. It is true that multiple rhythms simultaneously is very hard. I'm 31 and just barely attempting it for the first time (on piano). That's why I intentionally stopped my piano lessons at age 7 and took only flute, because it's a melody-playing, one-note-at-a-time instrument. Then, after 12 years of that, I learned enough about music, chords, keys, and especially harmonies, that I can hear it all so well in my head and I'm finally attempting to play two at once.
So, ya, it's hard. And I think Aspie's do need to work as hard, or maybe harder, than normal people do to learn the instruments. But I figure that's fair. Because we get the advantage of being able to hear and play by ear. And there are so many people jealous of me for that skill, it still surprises me.
In the past 24 hours, in fact, I've had two people begging me to play solo for their event. But my Austism just doesn't understand why they'd want to hear a flute all by herself. A full concert, maybe, who knows. It just doesn't make any sense. I've told these two ladies maybe, and probably no, merely because I think it would be boring for the listeners. I play for me, I don't understand other peoples' desires to hear me play. My mom hates this quality in me as well. My guess is that in the NT world, it's enjoyable for some reason, but my other guess is that I'm never going to understand their perspective and if I play for them it will be entirely for them. I just wish there was something in it I could understand. Can anyone help me understand why they all want to hear me play so much?

I completely agree with this gift of translation that most people aren't
able to grasp. You also said something about annoying your mom for
not playing in public.
I can understand this. I play in hotels I sneaked in so I can be not
demanded upon, I PLAY FROM WITHIN not I-physically for others.
I find peace with this.

They see it's inner beauty. They may call it a gift, but it is the signal
of inner beauty they may actually be hearing. I don't know what you
play so I can only see it as your inner gift shine through.....!

You aren't supposed to look at your fingers when you play guitar, or any instrument really, so hand and eye coordination shouldn't have anything to do with it. It is just rote memorization of finger configurations.

I found it VERY hard intially to learn to play the guitar - I started when I was 10. However, I found that playing with my eyes closed forced me to learn. Also I developed an obsession for The Beatles, and HAD to learn the chords for While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It may have blistered my finger tips, but it was worth it.
I was wondering if instrument players consider playing a riff / chord progression / section of melody / whatever over and over and over an "acceptable" form of perseveration. (Did I get that word right?). I ask this as I play Leadbelly's Where Did You Sleep for the 500th time today.

Cockroach parts may cause chocolate allergies
Updated On: Apr 02 2012 02:22:26 PM EDT
Most people who are allergic to chocolate aren't having a reaction to cocoa but to the ground-up cockroach parts.
Cockroach parts, really?
According to a new study, the average chocolate bar contains eight insect parts. Anything less than 60 insect pieces per 100 grams of chocolate (two chocolate bars' worth) is deemed safe for consumption by the Food and Drug Administration.
Cockroaches everywhere
Allergists say most foods contain natural contaminants. Aside from chocolate, cockroach parts also make their way into peanut butter, macaroni, fruit, cheese, popcorn and wheat. The roach bits can affect people with asthma, as well causing migraines, cramps, itching or hives in people who are allergic to them.

Not just a home on the go
What it's called depends on who's talking.
If you talk to a longtime resident, she'll call it a trailer court. But if you ask a mobile home salesman, he'll wax on about manufactured home communities.
Law gives tenants more time to move
The term "mobile home" is a bit of a misnomer. Hardly ready to be on the go, a mobile home actually takes months of preparation and planning to move.
This was the challenge facing many mobile home owners in the state, who used to get only 60 days of notice when the owners of their trailer parks decided to close.
Neighbor heard struggle
When Ryan Kepner heard dull thuds and muffled moans coming from the apartment next door, he shouted at his neighbor to pipe down. It was about 3:30 a.m. Saturday, and he wanted some peace and quiet.
"The walls are pretty thick," Kepner said, "but they sure weren't on Saturday morning."
Columbia reservist is killed in Iraq
A Columbia resident died Sunday in Iraq after his camp came under a mortar attack.
Sgt. Melvin Yamil Mora was killed in action in Taji, Iraq, when he was struck by shrapnel from an attack on his camp. The attack occurred at Camp Cooke, located on the Al Taji air base, a former Iraqi air force facility north of Baghdad. Mora was 27.
An academic answer for sports scandal
A coalition of 200 past or present university personnel from schools across the country, including a member in Columbia, is proposing a plan for reform in intercollegiate athletics.
The Drake Group plan aims to change the relationship between academic institutions and their athletic departments.
New transit routes bustling
Columbia resident Shantel Scott gives a favorable rating to the Columbia Transit System's modified bus routes. While waiting for the bus at Wabash Station on Monday afternoon, Scott said the new bus stops are closer to her home, her wait for the bus seems shorter and the buses now travel to two movie theaters in the city.
"It's been better," she said. "They run by every 20 minutes or so, unlike before when they took 40 minutes to an hour."
Holden OKs Sunshine Law update
In an outdoor ceremony at the MU School of Journalism on Monday, Gov. Bob Holden signed into law a revision of the 1973 Sunshine Law that's intended to bring it up to speed with modern technology.
Senate Bill 1020 was the first of three bills Holden signed. He said the Journalism School was a fitting place to expand the right to public information. The bill, he said, "continues our state's long tradition of open and accessible government to the public while updating our sunshine laws to more accurately reflect changing technology."
Fulbright Scholars headed abroad
George "Brick" Johnstone, chairman of MU's Department of Health Psychology, said he never saw disabled classmates in school when he was a boy.
"Today, you see disabled children everywhere, and it's a wonderful gain," he said. "Now, we need to do the same with persons with brain injuries."
Council calls for narrower roads
The residential streets of tomorrow are going to be narrower and lined with 5-foot sidewalks. That was the conclusion reached Monday night by the Columbia City Council, which voted 7-1 to change the city's current street-design standards.
The proposed changes, drafted by the Street Standards and Planning Group, have taken nearly two years to come to fruition.
Veteran recalls role in D-Day bombings
Is it OK for a grown man to cry? You bet it is! Tears usually flow when things gone by are remembered. Things that make you want to say, "There, but for the grace of God, go I."
I've just read a magazine article of a happening of a B-17 that was piloted by a young 23-year-old who gave his life to save the inhabitants of a French village. On D-Day, a few years ago, the descendents of that pilot were influenced to return to the spot where the B-17 crashed in France, to witness the celebration by the townsfolk, thanking a member of the pilot's family, for the forefather who gave his life to save the village residents. That pilot remained at the controls of his badly damaged plane to head it away from a village underneath him, seeking an open space to land — or crash. Crash he did, and the villagers remembered and dedicated the crash site with reverence and appreciation.
Home Improvement
Lana Wiseman lives at the end of a pitted cul-de-sac amid a sea of aging trailers in a large park in Boone County. Whizzing by on a county road, you might fail to notice that her neighborhood, her community, her world, is there.
But Wiseman is determined to be noticed. Showing up on television sometimes earns her some unwanted attention, but she doesn't really mind if her neighbors go on about it.
Reagan touched lives in mid-Mo.
As Columbia residents mourned the death of President Reagan, some had more intimate memories to draw on.
Reagan died Saturday. He was 93.
Former president's death brings tributes
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Ronald Reagan was remembered with jelly beans, flowers and American flags Sunday at memorials in his hometown and outside the mortuary where the former president's body lay.
"Thank you for changing the world," said a handwritten note among the tokens of remembrance left in Santa Monica for the nation's 40th president, who was 93 when he died Saturday of pneumonia, as a complication of Alzheimer's disease.
Navigators remember D-Day roles
Hirst Mendenhall of Columbia remembers the invasion like it was yesterday.
As President Bush and world leaders gathered at Normandy, France, on Sunday to mark the 60th anniversary of D-Day, here in Columbia, Ralph Conte didn't plan to do anything elaborate for the commemoration.
Ragtime festival honors composers
In a nod to ragtime's importance to modern music, the John William "Blind" Boone Ragtime and Early Jazz Festival began as Boone started his concerts — with a syncopated version of a classic hymn. It also featured a seminar paying tribute to one of the genre's most noted composers.
A music fair showcasing the styles and talents of the festival's headline performers kicked off the three-day festival.
Police: MU student's death was homicide
The death of a young man found Saturday in the East Campus neighborhood is being investigated as a homicide, Columbia police said Sunday.
They have identified the victim as 23-year-old Jesse J. Valencia, a junior majoring in history at MU.
We must face up to new struggles
If we can believe what we see on television, a lot of people have become as polarized on the issue of the war in Iraq as they are about abortion and gay marriage. If this is true, there's not much use for a national debate on the subject. It would seem that the moment folks line up on one side or the other of the political parties, any chance of agreement on almost any subject is lost, with the possible exception of the high cost of gasoline. No matter what our political preference is, we all seem to love to drive our cars.
I don't find it at all surprising that many young people I know have chosen not to have children. I have heard several of them say that they fear the next several generations will still be fighting the war started by this generation. Unfortunately, a lot of us feel that they are right. But we're a country of majority rule, and the majority has chosen to fight this war, so there's no point in trying to "lock the barn," so to speak.
Rocheport greets Lewis and Clark
ROCHEPORT — The scent of barbecue and soapmaking filled the air, broken by thunderous cannon shots on Sunday in historical downtown Rocheport as residents and visitors alike met Louis and Clark at Rocheport River Days.
Debris at the mouth of Moniteau Creek in Rocheport nearly prevented the keelboats and two smaller pirogues from docking at the site where Lewis and Clark visited 200 years ago on June 7, 1804. But thanks to modern advancements, a water patrol boat that accompanies the crew cleared the debris.
City bus stop shifts at mall
Wanda Avery travels from her Paquin Tower apartment to the Columbia Mall on a regular basis for a haircut, to use the bank and to buy household essentials. Often times she will use the Columbia Transit System because at 75 years old and in a wheelchair, she finds it convenient. However, a new bus policy at the Columbia Mall is going to make life a little more difficult for Avery and others like her.
Instead of dropping riders at the Columbia Mall entrance, the Columbia transit buses will stop at a new bus stop, which is expected to be completed later this month. Riders will have to travel from the new bus stop on Bernadette Drive, near Dillard's, through the parking lot to the mall entrance.
Council to discuss street design
Proposed new street design standards will once again go before the Columbia City Council at tonight's meeting.
The council was originally set to vote on the issue May 3, but concerns over implementation costs and narrower roads led council members to table it for further discussion.

The real work is about to start on the Falmouth intersection widening project.
After decades of talk of what to do with the often-congested intersection and about a year of preparation, crews will soon start to tear apart the old intersection to make way for a new one with twice as many lanes.
Expect to see signs and construction barriers appear soon.
On Monday at the Virginia Department of Transportation, officials talked about project details and how the work will impact traffic during the next 18 months.
Until September 2015—the expected completion date—drivers should expect plenty of lane closures for the work.
But those closures are supposed to be limited to nights, from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on Sundays. There will be no lane closures on Fridays or Saturdays.
About two dozen people showed up for VDOT's informational meeting.
Stafford resident Vincent Dodd was interested to see the update and peruse the plans.
"I think this'll help a lot," he said, even though he preferred a flyover plan that was considered years ago as one potential fix for the intersection.
He's also worried about another nearby intersection: Truslow Road.
Dodd has lived along that road since 1985. And he said getting onto U.S. 1 can be nearly impossible at times. He thinks a signal is needed there.
The project, however, is geared toward fixing the Falmouth intersection, not surrounding issues.
The current intersection setup—two lanes each on U.S. 17, U.S. 1 and Butler Road—has long been a choke point known to cause traffic backups in every direction.
Many different plans came and went over the years—a bypass, the flyover and even a roundabout. None of those will happen, but the intersection will still undergo drastic changes.
The $22.4-million project will add eight lanes to the intersection.
The new layout will separate the through and turn lanes, which is expected to improve traffic flow. Sidewalks and pedestrian crossings also will be added around the intersection.
Here's what the new lane layout will look like:
- U.S. 1 northbound: two through lanes; two left-turn lanes; one right-turn lane
- U.S. 1 southbound: two through lanes; one left lane; one right lane
- U.S. 17 southbound: one through lane; one left lane; one right lane
- Butler Road: one through lane; two left lanes; one right lane.
Another important change will be made at West Cambridge Street.
At this point, southbound U.S. 1 traffic can turn right onto West Cambridge or pull left or right from the side street onto the highway. As part of the project, though, a barrier will be installed and traffic will only be able to turn right onto West Cambridge from U.S. 1.
VDOT's Kelly Hannon said the change will be made to improve safety and traffic flow.

- If no changes were made at the intersection, the average wait time at the in 2016 was projected to be 234 seconds (3.9 minutes), and more than double that by 2036.
- With the changes, the wait time in 2016 at the intersection is expected to be 56 seconds.
- An average of 20,300 vehicles pass through the intersection daily, according to 2009 VDOT traffic counts.
