The Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General
should suspend an obligation to report and return overpayments within 60 days
for Medicare providers who voluntarily enter into the provider self-disclosure
protocol, according to comment letters from industry stakeholders sent to the
OIG before an Aug. 17 deadline.
The letters were in response to a notice
the OIG published in the June 18 Federal Register soliciting comments and
recommendations on how to revise the provider self-disclosure protocol (16 HFRA
473, 6/27/12).
In a letter dated
Aug. 17, James Madera, executive vice president and chief executive officer of
the American Medical Association, said suspending the 60-day repayment
obligation would make the OIG's self-disclosure protocol consistent with the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Self-Referral Disclosure
Madera also said that failing to suspend the 60-day obligation could
discourage providers from self-disclosing overpayments.
"Suspending the statutory obligation to report and return overpayments within
60 days would allow the submitting provider, and other providers who may be
implicated in the disclosure, an opportunity to engage with the OIG protocol
staff without running up against the 60-day due date for repayment," Madera
The 60-day obligation should remain suspended until a provider reaches a
settlement agreement with the OIG or is removed or withdraws from the
self-disclosure protocol, Madera said.
Madera also said the OIG should work to protect the confidentiality of
provider information contained in a self-disclosure.
"Providers who are contemplating disclosing information to the OIG through
the protocol should not be dissuaded from doing so because of confidentiality
concerns," Madera said.
In an Aug. 16 letter, Charles N. Kahn
III, president and CEO of the Federation of American Hospitals, also supported
suspending the 60-day rule, urging the OIG "to supplement its standard letter to
providers with additional language reflecting this approach to tolling the
overpayment refund timeframe."
Kahn also said the OIG should clarify whether settling a potential Stark law
violation through the CMS self-disclosure protocol resolves all Stark issues.
The Stark law prohibits physician referrals of Medicare or Medicaid patients to
facilities with which the physicians have a financial relationship.
In 2009, the OIG said it no longer would accept self-disclosures focused
solely on Stark law issues unless the disclosure also involved a "colorable
anti-kickback statute violation."
"Our overarching concern is that hospitals not be unreasonably burdened when
disclosing a situation that implicates both the Stark statute and the CMP [civil
monetary penalties] Statute," Kahn said in his letter. "We believe strongly that
where similar facts and parties are involved, a single disclosure should be
appropriate, even if one of the arrangements does not have a colorable
anti-kickback issue."
FAH's letter included several additional recommendations, including asking
the OIG to:
• do
away with imposing penalties on providers in cases where no violations have been
• allow
providers to consult with OIG staff on any potential self-disclosure settlement;
• clarify
whether hospitals that are operating under a corporate integrity agreement (CIA)
can enter into the self-disclosure protocol.
James G. Sheehan, chief integrity officer for the New York City Human
Resources Administration (HRA), said the OIG should consolidate its provider
self-disclosure protocol into one document.
"In order to simplify the SDP and make instructions clear, OIG should
consolidate all documents into one comprehensive guide," he said in an Aug. 16
letter. "Consolidation
will be especially helpful for those entities considering disclosure that have
yet to retain knowledgeable players."
Sheehan, a former federal prosecutor and inspector general for the New York
Medicaid program, said information on the OIG's self-disclosure protocol is
spread out over three letters as well as a link to the Federal
Sheehan also recommended suspending the 60-day repayment obligation, saying
it would encourage more providers to enter into the protocol.
HRA also recommended publishing all disclosures after a settlement has been
reached, as well as committing to a time frame for handling a provider's
Sheehan said the OIG "should indicate when a provider will get accepted or
rejected from the SDP and how long the OIG's resolution process will last."
Sheehan also said the self-disclosure protocol should guarantee that all
disclosures be treated equally, adding that the OIG should be flexible in regard
to any payments associated with a settlement.
"Much like the Department of Justice, OIG should affirmatively state that the
provider's ability to pay, and if a public entity, the impact on the
organization's mission will be taken into account and should specify the process
for doing so," Sheehan said.
Another comment letter, from Dianne J. De La Mare, vice president of legal
affairs for the American Health Care Association, said that streamlining the
self-disclosure protocol by eliminating unnecessary questions could help
encourage provider participation and quicken the overall process.
"While originally intended to expedite resolution of potential fraud matters
by shifting the investigative burden to disclosing providers, self-disclosures
under the SDP often are anything but 'speedy,' even though OIG states that the
SDP can 'diminish the time it takes before the matter can be formally
resolved,'" De La Mare said in a letter Aug. 11 to
De La Mare also said the OIG should:
• clarify
the types of disclosures appropriate for the OIG protocol and those that should
be submitted to a provider's Medicare Administrative Contractor;
• establish
a time frame for resolving a provider's disclosure; and
• clarify
whether providers may face a CIA based on their disclosure.

Substitute Mario Balotelli's 90th-minute penalty rescued Manchester City from a second consecutive defeat in the UEFA Champions League as the Barclays Premier League champions drew with Borussia Dortmund at the Etihad Stadium in Group D.
Dortmund defender Neven Subotic was adjudged to have deliberately handled a hooked shot by Sergio Aguero, and Balotelli rolled in the resulting spot-kick to earn Man City a point.
Marco Reus had put Dortmund ahead in the 61st minute when he pounced on a pass from substitute Jack Rodwell to charge through and beat goalkeeper Joe Hart, who kept City in the match with a string of saves.
In an open first half that was end-to-end and played in pouring rain, the England No 1 tipped shots from Mario Goetze on to a post and crossbar and also saved brilliantly from Ilkay Gundogan.
Hart also produced a number of great blocks early in the second half, denying Goetze and Gundogan, but he was unable to stop Reus. The nimble forward read Rodwell's pass across the defensive line and raced through before placing a shot to the right of Hart, who got a hand to the ball but could not stop it sailing into the far corner.
Roberto Mancini's charges had chances of their own, mostly through David Silva, who set up Aguero for two one-on-one opportunities that were saved in the first half, while Pablo Zabaleta shot over after running on to another pass from Silva. The home side were under the pressure for most of the second half, but emerged with a point thanks to Balotelli's coolness under pressure.
City have just one point from their opening two games, while Dortmund have four, two behind group leaders Real Madrid, who beat Ajax 4-1 in Amsterdam. The Dutch side are bottom of the group with no points and next host City in three weeks' time.
Ajax 1-4 Real Madrid
Manchester City 1-1 Borussia Dortmund
Arsenal maintained their perfect start to the UEFA Champions League with Gervinho, Lukas Podolski and Aaron Ramsey scoring in a victory over Olympiacos.
Gervinho's 43rd minute-opener was soon cancelled out by Kostas Mitroglou's header for the Greek champions, but Arsenal resumed control after the break to ensure they stayed top of Group B.
The Ivory Coast forward turned provider in the 56th minute, picking out Podolski in the penalty area, whose shot went straight through goalkeeper Balazs Megyeri. Ramsey made sure of the victory in stoppage time, dinking the ball over Megyeri as Arsenal made a lightning attack.
The Gunners were looking for an immediate response to their first defeat of the season on Saturday at the hands of Chelsea in the Barclays Premier League, and they got it.
With manager Arsene Wenger again looking on from the stands as he serves a touchline ban from UEFA, Arsenal pressed with verve and conviction inspired by Santi Cazorla from the start. The Spain midfielder almost gave Arsenal an early lead as his free-kick was saved by Megyeri.
Olympiacos's defence was breached first as Kieran Gibbs and Podolski combined down the left and the ball reached the edge of the area, where Gervinho seized it and struck a low shot back across into the corner of the goal.
The visitors immediately pushed for the equaliser and, in first-half- injury time, they got it. Leandro Greco sent a precise cross from the left that Mitroglou glanced into the far corner.
After Cazorla had squandered a chance for Arsenal to go back in front in the second half, Gervinho combined with the Spaniard before feeding the ball to Podolski, who shot through the legs of Megyeri.
In injury time, Vito Mannone's long clearance was flicked on by Olivier Giroud to fellow substitute Ramsey, who coolly lifted the ball over the onrushing Megyeri to ease home nerves.
Arsenal lead on six points from Schalke, who are on four after being held to a 2-2 draw at home to Montpellier. That was the Ligue 1 side's first point, putting them third above Olympiacos, who have yet to register.
Wenger's side next face Schalke at the Emirates Stadium on October 24th.
Arsenal 3-1 Olympiacos
Schalke 2-2 Montpellier

Blaine Lawrence
I first met Blaine Lawrence when he was a hopeful 18-year-old "pledge" going through rush week at the University of Kentucky. All we knew about him was he was cute, from Louisville and his sister liked to act. Flash forward six years and a lot more than his "pledge" status has changed.
Blaine, whose sister Jennifer Lawrence is nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Winter's Bone," took time out of his whirlwind Los Angeles adventures to assure us that everyone is doing just fine.
As a big brother of an actress, do the rules for dating your sister still apply in Hollywood?
Well, guys are guys no matter what they do or "who they are," so every guy still has to go through the same screening process with my brother, dad and me. She actually has a boyfriend now, and we have all given her the thumbs-up, which is a first.
What has the entire process been like? From her getting cast, to filming and now nominated for an Oscar?
Jen really wanted the part of Ree, and Deborah, the director, didn't think she had the right look. Jen didn't take no for an answer and took a red eye to New York the next night and showed up for the audition. I remember talking to her during filming and it sounded brutal. They were working ridiculous hours in the freezing cold.
One thing I will always remember is that she never complained and was thankful that everyone was doing the film for the right reasons. She got to work with some incredibly talented people (John Hawkes, who's nominated for best supporting actor), and met one of her best friends (Lauren Sweetser, who plays her friend "Gail" in "Winter's Bone"). Now that she's been nominated, she's had more opportunities to meet with very well-known directors and fellow actors for future roles, and has more champagne stashed away in her apartment than any 20-year-old I've ever known.
What has changed in your daily life since Jennifer's recent success?
A lot. I completely lost my birth name, and am now "Jennifer Lawrence's brother," when I'm introduced to people here (in LA), and during the past few weeks my brother has been on TV more than Anderson Cooper.
What has been the most surreal part for you during this experience?
I went to the Directors Guild awards with Jen and sat down to eat, and to my left was Jenna Fischer (from "The Office") and to my right was Sofia Vergara (from "Modern Family"), and the presenters included Leonardo Dicaprio, Clint Eastwood and Steven Spielberg. It's been surreal hearing people I casually watch on TV and movies telling my sister that they loved her film and congratulating her on receiving a nomination.
Coolest celebrity you've met?
Charlize Theron. Gorgeous and down-to-earth
Hollywood crush?
Cameron Diaz "¦ and Clint Eastwood.
Has Jennifer promised to hook you up with anyone?
Haha, still waiting on that one.
As a brother, what has been the most challenging part of this experience?
Keeping a balance between being extremely proud of her and showing her support, while not treating her any different than I did before the nomination.
Do you get nervous for her?
Are you kidding? I think I hold my breath during every interview, especially the late night shows. You never know what's coming out of her mouth. She's so unpredictable, which makes her funny and likable, but makes her publicists and family sweat.
Will you be attending the Oscars with your sister?
Yes, that's the plan as of right now.
If so, what will you be wearing?
Don't you mean, "Who will I be wearing?" (laughs). I'll be in standard black suit, black tie from Margaret's Consignment on Frankfort Avenue (that's the truth, I'm a second-hand junkie).
Most importantly, do you get to bring a date?
Cameron Diaz was busy, so I'm just going with my family. The "date" situation is still up in the air.
Has anyone recognized you yet as being related to Jennifer?
Nope, but if that ever happens, she will be the LAST person to know about it! I'm trying keep my sis grounded!

Ever feel the need to gaze at some upskirt pics of some of your favorite female tennis players, but gosh darn it, you just don't have the time to go surfing through the Interwebs compiling your perverted photo collection? Luckily, there's now one place to serve all your court-related panty-peeking needs.
(Uncovering tennis undies, from front to back)
UPSKIRTCOLLECTION.COM has branched out with its own sports section, featuring sneaky peeks at the undergarments of ladies who love to lob. The site itself is kinda NSFW (and also costs a penny or two to join), so as a public service, we'd like to present a small sampling of some of the photo captures right'chere. And for fun, try to guess which gals you're gawking at:

Today, I dropped my three-year-old at his new "bigger, stronger, school" for the first time since we stopped by last week to meet his teacher. I was a little nervous because every time we mentioned the new school, he told me he didn't need to go; he explained that he could just stay home with mommy. Awesome. But, we kept preparing him, telling him how much fun he would have, and how big he would be. But, he wasn't buying it.
So, we problem solved, and we bribed him. Bribery, I believe, should only be used in emergency situations. This was one such emergency.
Last night, my husband took my son on a little shopping trip in Decatur. While in the shoe section of Bealls, my son stumbled upon some awesome tennis shoes that LIGHT UP. He was so pumped about the novelty of those shoes, that of course my husband caved. He was smart about it though, I have to give him credit for that. He struck up a deal: shoes for school. My son agreed, and the purchase was made.
He woke up at 2 this morning, and came into my room in underwear and those shoes. Remember, I told you he was broken.
Anyway, this morning, he jumped out of bed into those shoes (again), pulled on his new backpack (courtesy of my sister), and grabbed his lunchbox. He was chattering on and on about how big he was, and how he was going to his NEW SCHOOL.
But, that was before we actually got to the school. When we walked down the hall to his classroom, he began telling me that he didn't really have to STAY at his school, he just needed to say hi to his teacher. I kept urging him along, again talking about the awesomeness of the upcoming day. When we got to his classroom to join the class, he attached himself to my ankle, and began to whimper. Not totally crying, but not the happy sound I needed. The teacher helped me pry him loose, and get him into the line of kids headed for the playground. He kept looking back at me, unsure of what to do next. I lingered back at the classroom door, also a little unsure. I willed him to look at his shoes and to start having a fantastic day. Yes, I believe in the power of shoes :) When he was finally out of sight, I slipped out to my car, but with a heavy heart.
I know he needs to go to preschool. I know he needs to be big this year. I know he will have a blast once he gets into the routine. I know that in my head; my heart just isn't so sure. And, I don't know that Bealls has enough shoes to get us both through the year.

I make something very close to this as well. And EVERYONE loves it. I cook my sausage (Jimmy Dean-mild or hot)after it's cooked I add the cream cheese and mix together. I take the Cresent rolls and divide/cut out and put in a mini-miffin pan. Add the sausage/cream cheese mixture and bake (directions on Crest rolls). Family is standing there waiting for them to come out of the oven. YUMMY!

Peanut Protein Bar from GoMacro
Peanut Protein Bar

$1.45 Retail Price: $2.89

Viola, WI
Today macrobiotics is again undergoing a transformation as it seeks to promote biodiversity and a return to healthy eating habits amid a growing epidemic of obesity and illness. Amelia Kirchoff and her daughter Jolanta Sonkin first experimented with macrobiotics when Amelia was diagnosed with breast cancer. In following the macrobiotic diet Amelia eliminated eggs, dairy, refined sugars and flours, hydrogenated oils, processed foods, additives, artificial colorings and preservatives, and animal products. As her health improved she wanted to add occasional desserts to her diet, so she started to bake bars, cookies, brownies, cakes and pies following macrobiotic criteria. After experiencing a transformation in her health and a positive reception to the delicious bars she had created, Amelia and her daughter decided to found GoMacro.
Although firm believers in macrobiotic principles, they have had to update recipes and ingredients in order to appeal to a more diversified population. The core principles of moderation, of eating whole unrefined foods and living in balance with one's environment, have remained intact. They are confident that you too, can improve your health by incorporating some of these principles in your lives, for this is a lifestyle that can be introduced slowly, one step at a time. They hope you will join GoMacro. Wishing you a long and great life!

Off-Broadway's New York Theatre Workshop is offering up a piece of holiday theatre with an historical bent, a new work from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel called "A Civil War Christmas." Time Out New York's David Cote filed the following report for NY1.
It's the holidays, and families have no shortage of seasonal entertainment. You can take the kids to the Grinch, Elf, A Christmas Story or the Rockettes.
What we don't have are enough smart and intimate Christmas shows to make kids think. So let's welcome Paula Vogel's "A Civil War Christmas" as a nourishing yuletide alternative.
Weaving together enough characters and narrative strands to make up a TV miniseries, "A Civil War Christmas" is set on Christmas Eve, 1864, toward the end of our nation's bloodiest domestic conflict.
Adopting a story-theater approach, with actors juggling multiple roles and speaking narration, Vogel casts a wide net. We see a war-weary President Lincoln try to forget his troubles and locate a present for his moody wife, Mary. We follow the progress of a vengeful African-American Union soldier whose wife was abducted by Texans. There's a young black girl, daughter of an escaped slave, who wanders the freezing-cold streets of Washington D.C. in search of help.
Vogel connects these disparate threads with touching renditions of popular Christmas carols such as O Tannenbaum and Silent Night. While director Tina Landau's cast is uniformly appealing and versatile, the piece drags in its second half, and becomes more emotionally manipulative than it need be.
Although it suffers from a surfeit of good intentions, "A Civil War Christmas" is a worthy choice for parents who want to feed their children more than empty, sugary calories.

San Francisco's surreal beauty and picturesque charm will steal your heart from the moment you set eyes on it. Whether it's the cable cars and the Victorian Painted Ladies or the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge half obscured by the rolling fog, there's something about San Francisco attractions that tourists can't get enough of. And as the second most densely populated major American city, we're guessing the residents are quite enamored by the city as well! Before you leave, make sure you've packed the essential (yet often forgotten) items: a light jacket or sweatshirt for when the fog comes in, comfortable shoes for a very walkable city, and sunblock for rays that penetrate even the thickest layer of fog. To get the most of your San Francisco vacation, start your trip the … [Read more...]

For a disparate group of English pensioners (Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkinson, Penelope Wilton, Celia Imrie and Ronald Pickup), retirement takes an unconventional turn when they abandon their homeland, enticed by advertisements for THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL, a seemingly luxurious sanctuary for "the elderly and beautiful" in Jaipur, India. On arrival, they discover that the hotel falls somewhat short of the romantic idyll promised in the brochure, but they are gradually won over by the ever-optimistic young manager Sonny (Dev Patel), and tentatively embark on a new adventure, finding that life can begin again when you let go of the past.

Hi Gary,
You are correct the tracks are configured as a cross over. But you said they were only for show. What I suggest is using the middle track as a passing siding. That means that the longest train has to fit completely on the middle track. The key is powering the center track from one power routing turnout at a time. That is, this passing siding could be used by trains running East on the Red track and running West on the Blue track, but crossing between Blue and Red is not allowed.
On my layout, the shared passing siding eliminates one track at the bottom of the layout. The yard's Arrival/Departure track is now dedicated and not shared.
I too want to add signals...which I know very little about. I assume that means detection, lights and track control around Suicide Junction to eliminate collisions.

11 Kick-Ass Call to Action Examples, and Why They Work
Getting prospective customers to do what you want them to do can be like herding cats. They abandon shopping carts before checking out, they don't sign up for your beautifully written newsletter, and they don't even have the common courtesy to read your blog posts all the way to the end.However, there is hope.

Voice of the Customer: The Secret Weapon For Great Landing Page Copy
Most digital marketers agree that landing pages can make or break any campaign, be it PPC, social media, email, or display ads. Once you get people to click, the landing page has to convince your visitor to complete the conversion.To assist in the goal of landing page success, a number of software platforms exist to help marketers test landing page elements.
Visuals, calls-to-action (CTAs), layouts, offers, buttons, and many more elements can be tested. Software can help you conduct A/B tests and create new landing pages on the fly. Just a tweak with the placement of a key visual element might lead to a significant increase in landing page performance. Unfortunately, when it comes to the actual words on the landing page, marketers tend to rush the process, going with a combination of... > Read more

Why You NEED Social Media Landing Pages (Not Just a Homepage!)
With so much traffic being driven these days via social media, it's important to implement designated social media landing pages as part of your marketing strategy. Remember, folks who click your ads and links from social media sites are valuable visitors – they've actively engaged with your brand on a social network.
In fact, J. Crew found that:"customers who engage with us via our social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, or Instagram) generally spend approximately 2x more than the average J.Crew customer"Twice as much is a pretty big deal!

5 Cognitive Biases & How to Overcome Them On Your Landing Pages
You already know that highly optimized landing pages are crucial to the success of any paid search campaign. However, even the best landing pages don't have conversion rates of 100%. Why? Well, because people are unpredictable, and sometimes, consumer behavior defies all logic – frequently due to cognitive biases.
In today's post, we're going to examine what cognitive bias is, look at several examples of these behaviors in action, and outline how you can overcome (or at least account for) them with your landing pages.What is Cognitive Bias?Cognitive biases are ways of thinking about and perceiving the world that may not necessarily reflect reality.

The Clueless Marketer's Guide to Building a Landing Page from Scratch
We talk about optimizing landing pages a lot here at WordStream, but how do you go about building a landing page in the first place? You need something to optimize before you can start optimizing!

3 A/B Tests That Surprised the Heck Out of Us (See You at the Opties!)
A/B tests are a vital part of WordStream's marketing efforts. Seriously, we split test everything: banner ads, registration forms, landing pages – you name it. My colleagues keep telling me that buying two different burritos for lunch then tweeting about which one I like best doesn't count as "real" A/B testing, but I beg to differ.
One of the tools we use for A/B tests is Optimizely, a comprehensive solution that allows us to conduct tests quickly and easily. It's awesome when we find tools that help us understand our audience more effectively, but it's even more awesome when the people behind those tools recognize us for how we use their software. That's precisely what happened recently when Optimizely told us that WordStream is a finalist in the inaugural Opties 2014 awar... > Read more
Everything You Know About Conversion Rate Optimization Is Wrong
Conversion is a key element in your paid search strategy; after all, if you're not actually turning lookers into buyers at a high rate, what are you advertising for? Conversion rate optimization enables you to maximize every cent of your PPC spend by finding that sweet spot that convinces the maximum percentage of your prospects to take action.
But what is a good conversion rate? If you're already achieving 3%, 5% or even 10% conversion rates, is that as high as you're going to go?We recently analyzed thousands of AdWords accounts with a combined $3 billion in annual spend and discovered that some advertisers are converting at rates two or three times the average.

How to Build the Perfect Mobile Landing Page
If desktop landing pages are the equivalent of a job interview, mobile landing pages are like elevator pitches on steroids – you have mere seconds for your page to load, grab your users' attention and persuade them to act. Building the perfect mobile landing page is no easy task, and unless you have a strong mobile strategy in place before you start, you could be missing out on invaluable opportunities for greater conversions.
Ignore Mobile Landing Pages at Your PerilYou already know that you can't ignore mobile, but in case you need a few choice statistics to drop on the naysayers at your next meeting, these should spur them into action:• According to the Monetate Ecommerce Quarterly EQ4 2013 report, one in every three visits to leading ecommerce websites came from either a tablet ... > Read more

I hate how this is the only board where an opinion can be left alone, and if not left alone, at least respected or debated, the rest of FunnyJunk is a bunch of ignorant fucks. I hate that this is the only place where I can really vent because no-one can bitch at me after I say what I actually fucking want to say. I hate how everyone backstabs everyone else for their own personnel benefit, I hate just about all of real life and almost everyone in it. I genuinely hate my brother. I hate how my schoolwork is gradually taking over my life, meaning I just end up spending more time on my laptop after giving up on the fuckton of work that I get. I hate how the extra work which I honestly feel I shouldn't be getting is an amount of work which I honestly should be getting, I hate how I can't find anyone to blame for that and end's up with me being pissed off at myself and which means I get pissed off at everything, and I just end up cocking up more stuff while I wallow in my own, shallow, self pity making me more pissed off at everyone else and wallow more etc.
I honestly hate my life, not kill myself hate my life, but the 'It literally is the worst time i've had in my entire life, and i'm only fucking 14, why the fuck do I have so many fucking problems?' hate my life.

Canada beat Kenya for the second time in as many days to secure fifth place in the ICC World Cricket League Division One and leave the African side with the wooden spoon.
Kenya put up a much better fight the second time around, but ultimately succumbed by three-wickets as Canada chased down a target of 191 with just four balls to spare.
Again skipper Ashish Bagai (39) and Zubin Surkari (49) shared a crucial partnership in the chase, putting on 85 for the sixth wicket to change the course of the match after Canada had lost three wicket for seven runs.
Both fell in the final six overs, but Jimmy Hansra and Umar Bhatti held their nerve to steer Canada over the line.
Earlier it was Canada's opening bowlers Harvir Baidwan and Bhattia who laid down the marker, taking two wickets apiece before medium-pacer Rizwan Cheema took 3 for 39.
Kenya were eventually bowled out for 190 off the last ball of the innings. The result ensured that they lost all six matches that they played in the competition.

We purchased this bed for our daughter so that we could have another queen bed in the house for guests. We didn't want a mature frame and girl's frames seem to be only in twin and full size. In short, the bed is great. It is well made for the price and very solidly built. Shipping was cheap and fast. Our daughter loves it and it looks great! Regarding the bed slat and stability issues: this bed is pictured without the use of a boxspring to achieve a "low" look. If you use a box spring to raise the mattess height, the bed is stable as is. The combination of the slats and most importantly, the box spring and side rail inner supports will adequately support the bed. A box spring serves as additional slats that is supported by the inner rail. The problem comes when you want to use just a mattress to achieve the low look, which is what we did. In this case, the three plywood slats and one center support are not adequate. I ended up buying four 1x8" pine boards for additional slats and 3 feet of 2x2" poplar to replicate two additional center supports. The bed is now rock solid. The other solution I considered was removing the inner supports to the side rails and dropping the boxspring inside the frame, resting it directly on the floor. This allows you to use the box spring and mattress as designed and also keeps you from having to store or get rid of the box spring. I'm giving it four stars because of the extra work I had to do to achieve the same look that the bed is advertised as.
Overall I am happy that I purchased this product. It's a beautiful addition to my home. The three support beams in the middle are rather flimsy and will not work well with just a mattress, as the mattress itself will begin to slip through the beams. I have a mattress, plus low profile box spring set on this frame. The standard box spring of 9 inches was to high so I replaced it with a low profile, 5 inch box spring and it definitely made the difference. With the low profile box spring I can now reach my nightstand without a problem :)
I purchased this white leather bed a short nwhile ago and was really pleased how it looked, but after a while the whole bed fell apart. The sides of the frame literally was ripped out of the frame. There were only 3 screws holding the wood to the frame on both sides. Also there were only 3 very thin slats to hold up the mattress as to 12 slats on other beds similar to mine. I am 70 years old and had to lift the 11 inch foam mattress(65 lbs.) off the frame which had sunk to the floor as the wood on the sides completely broke in two. I had to go to the lumber yard and purchase 6 new slats that were stronger and screws and literally screw the whole thing together and then lift the mattress back on to the frame. I did that yesterday after I called this company(overstock) and told them of my predicament, but they told me they couldn't do anything for me, not even send someone to repair the bed. I am so totally disappointed in overstock I could not recommend anyone to shop here . The dresser I purchased to go with the bed was of the poorest quality also. There has to be something one can do to stop this kind of faulty business in the future.
This is my first leather bed, and I am really impressed! It is very stylish, beautiful, and cheap. You will, however, need more than the 3 slats provided. If you want your bed high, about waist-high, you can use the usual mattress foundation that you may already have. In my case, I'm using a low profile foundation to add a little bit but not so much height.
This product looks really good but the reviews are correct you will need more 60" slats if you aren't going to use your box springs. However, I did have a service issue. The item arrives in 3 boxes. The silica gel in the footboard box had busted and the little beads left permanent indentations in the vinyl (and a task to get off a hardwood floor). When I requested a replacement part they insisted on shipping the entire set again and having me send back what I didn't need. These are big heavy boxes. By the time the paid to ship it to me and back they lost major money on this order.
Purchased this bed because the description said it was a platform bed yet it did not come with slats to support the mattress. After purchasing slats for support I installed them only to have one of the 3 supports that came with the bed give out. Upon inspection I noticed that it had been broken before and simply glued back together. The manufacturer is mailing beds with parts that have already been broken! Considering the fact that the wood they use is soo cheap , light and flimsy in the first place , the least they could do is ship unbroken pieces. It is very , VERY rare that I write reviews though I felt the need to put out a buyer beware on this one. Don't waste your money.
Love the bed but if you are not using a box springs you will need to add additional slats I added 4 additional boards and it made all the difference.
This bed worked great for us HOWEVER, we bought it to go in our 2 year old daughters room. The height was perfect for her but would have been slightly disappointing in a guest or adults room. Also, you either MUST use a box spring or reinforce the base. There were only three, 3 inch slats going horizontally across the base where the mattress was to be placed. I had to make a trip to ******* and buy several extra in order to keep the bed low for our daughter and only use the mattress. Other than that, which turned out to not be expensive or a big deal, we were very happy with the look and quality!
Love this bed in my guest room. Low to ground, sleek and modern. People always comment on this bed.
With this bed, you are getting what you pay for. It's a great value for the price and very attractive. I did have a few problems with this bed: Some of the support pieces underneath were broken, and this bed came to me damaged not once but twice, which was highly annoying. However, Overstock provided great customer service and I still received an undamaged bed in a reasonable amount of time. Once it's assembled it looks great. One thing I will say, if you have an extra high pillowtop mattress, this bed may not work for you. The headboard is not very high, and with a really high mattress it would look much too short. But they now sell boxsprings that are half height that would definitely solve that problem. Overall, it's sturdy and comfortable and looks great in my room.

The Shape of Your Life
The Plan
Supercharge your speed and power with the fourth installment in our interactive training plan.
AS KIDS WE LOVED to pile-drive our best friends into the couch, but as adults most of us are far too civilized for the explosive work required to build power. Endurance, strength, flexibility—these are all very sane. But power? Power's for short men in bar fights. Professional lumberjacks. The Rock. Unless you have a score to settle with the bouncer or a hole to open off left tackle, why should you hop, leap, or launch the barbells in the gym like an Olympic weight lifter?
"Because climbing, skiing, or whatever, there's a power component in everything we do," says power-training guru Vern Gambetta, president of Gambetta Sports Training Systems in Sarasota, Florida. "It's the athletic expression of strength." In other words, whether it's outsprinting the peloton or lunging for a climbing hold, sooner or later you'll need power—the measure of how fast and how far you can move an object, often yourself, through space. And like it or not, your steady-as-she-goes strength, flexibility, and endurance work won't give it to you. Which isn't to say those three pillars of fitness are a waste of time. By now, if you've committed to our five-month Shape of Your Life program, you probably feel better than ever. But just because you've got a sustainable plan in place doesn't mean we'll pat you on the back and send you away. Starting today, the program accelerates: You've built your foundation; now it's time to tap your real athleticism by upgrading your power and accentuating its twin attribute, speed.
To back up that promise, we've turned to fitness authorities who aren't typically beloved by outdoor athletes—football coaches, track trainers, and gym teachers. But don't panic—you won't need a Lycra singlet or have to report to the field house. Like the other SYL workouts, this month's regimen can be done in your home gym and at the local park. You'll build power by adding Olympic lifts with dumbbells to your strength routine (think Laird Hamilton, pictured here, not those huge Romanian weight lifters of yore), and ramp up your speed by starting endurance workouts with jumping drills, aka plyometrics. Yeah, yeah—this means your workouts will be longer and more intense, but quit complaining already. In four weeks, you may not pile-drive your workout buddy for old times' sake, but your rekindled athleticism will punish him just the same.

In a case with major potential implications for chemical exposure claims, Pennsylvania's high court has dismissed expert testimony asserting that "each and every fiber of inhaled asbestos" contributes to cancer.
The 6-0 Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision, issued May 23, rejected expert testimony in an auto mechanic's lawsuit against Ford Motor Co., Allied Signal and other companies.
Mechanic Charles Simikian claimed that the mesothelioma he contracted was due to his exposure to asbestos-containing brake linings and similar products over a 44-year period.
Simikian died after filing the litigation in February 2005, and his widow carried on the case.
'The Poison is in the Dose'
The decision involved a 2005 affidavit by an expert witness that Simikian had retained. Pathologist John C. Maddox, M.D., of Newport News, VA, said in that sworn statement that "each exposure to asbestos" is "a substantial contributing factor in the development of the disease."
Maddox compared the exposure to cigarette smoking, saying that "[a]ll the cigarettes that one smokes are considered to be contributory to the development of the lung cancer."
Two expert witnesses retained by the companies, however, trounced Maddox's conclusions, saying that he was ignoring the critical factor of dosage in evaluating toxic exposure.
The trial judge agreed, saying that whether the potentially harmful substance in question was water, alcohol or nitroglycerine, "The poison is in the dose."
'Unsound and Illogical'
Occupational environmental epidemiologist M. Jane Teta, Dr.P.H. M.P.H., said that Maddox's conclusion ignored scientific evidence, "employed a selective approach" to scientific literature; and, in particular, disregarded "a wealth of epidemiological evidence" showing that workers who use brake linings and similar products do not have a higher rate of mesothelioma than the general population, Justice Thomas Saylor wrote in the 53-page opinion.
Dennis J. Paustenbach, PhD, PABT, another expert witness for the defendants, also contended that Maddox had been selective in his review and had not cited "a single paper in the last 25 years" among his evidence.
Together, the two defendants' experts debunked Maddox's methodology and conclusions as "scientifically unsound and illogical."
'Any Dose'
Saylor agreed, saying that the plaintiffs must show some relationship between the level of exposure and the illness.
"Simply put, one cannot simultaneously maintain that a single fiber among millions is substantially causative, while also conceding that a disease is dose-responsive," Saylor wrote.
To accept the "any dose" theory, the court said, would be to say that it "makes no difference if the plaintiff merely worked infrequently on a family vehicle or was a shipyard worker frequently exposed to friable asbestos of the most carcinogenic form."
Expert Test Case
The justices said they took up the matter as a test case of the so-called Frye test, which bars "novel scientific evidence from the courtroom until it has achieved acceptance in the relevant scientific community."
The defense had argued that it would be impossible to legally assign responsibility without showing that Simikian had been exposed to specific doses of asbestos known to cause the disease.
The trial judge—Allegheny County Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Colville—agreed, and the high court said Colville "was right to be circumspect about the scientific methodology underlying the any-exposure opinion."
Business Support
The case drew more than a dozen friend-of-the-court briefs from business, manufacturing and chemical groups on behalf of the defendants.
The National Federation of Independent Business lauded the ruling, saying that thousands of small businesses nationwide had been sued on the basis of the "any-dose" theory.
"This is a significant decision because it prevents the use of tenuous theories that have no basis in science," the group's Pennsylvania director, Kevin Shivers, told The Philadelphia Inquirer. "We are grateful to the court for this decision because it makes the system objectively fairer."

Pupils spread Christmas cheer at Brabyns House Care Home
Pupils at Brabyns Preparatory School in Marple, Cheshire, spread Christmas cheer to local care home Brabyns House when they performed a repertoire of Christmas songs for residents.
Led by Music and Drama Coordinator James Westall, pupils from the independent day school sang a medley of festive favourites, which they have been rehearsing ahead of their annual Christmas church service to mark the end of the school term.
Mr Westall said: "The children sang splendidly for the residents of Brabyns Care Home. The singing was very much appreciated, moving one old lady to tears."
"We all felt very proud of ourselves for giving something back to the local community and to hear the clapping and tapping of walking sticks to our final number Jingle Bells left us all feeling full of Christmas spirit."
The choir said: "Singing and making the old people happy is what Christmas is all about."
