Hospitals Find Solutions for the No-Pay Self-Pay Patient
This article appears in the May 2012 issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
One of hospitals' most vexing problems is absorbing the cost of care from the uninsured. For years, these patients have been called self-pay, but that term is a misnomer. In most cases, it's code for non-pay. The reasons they don't pay are numerous and complex, but some hospitals and health systems are starting to figure out there's a better way to get reimbursed, one that is less stressful for the patient and more efficient for the provider.
Hospitals can try to help patients achieve coverage, but such efforts can be uneven because of the huge variety of assistance programs other than Medicaid, each with its own bureaucracy. There are also time limits for reimbursement dependent on the date of service, and the patient has to take some action, which is often overly burdensome.
The way some hospitals deal with this group of patients has sometimes led to embarrassing outcomes—some have been taken to task for aggressive collection efforts. Such relationships are hardly good grist for a great patient experience, either. Historically, attempts at solving this problem have proved laborious—for little tangible return.
In the emergency department, hospitals are required to provide care regardless of a patient's ability to pay, but many hospitals also provide needed care outside the ED to those who cannot afford to pay for it. Whether the hospital or health system ultimately receives any reimbursement for that care depends on a confusing mishmash of collection efforts and patient-dependent navigation of public assistance programs, often compounded by patient embarrassment or sometimes plain indifference. But many—even a majority—of these patients qualify for some form of financial assistance, according to the Foundation for Health Coverage Education. Both hospitals and patients are left clamoring for innovative solutions to cut down on the complex, labor-intensive bureaucracy that stymies their ability to access these sources of reimbursement.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

For routine and ambulatory procedures, the best patient experience may be to simply avoid billing. In addition to reducing patient surprise s by posting prices, on HealthInReach providers can offer self-pay patients the option to pre-pay some or all of the cost in exchange for a discount. By taking a deposit, providers manage their risk and patients benefit from whatever fees might otherwise be paid to collection agents. http://HealthInReach.com is free for patients and offers online scheduling 24/7.
Grace DeBold (6/6/2012 at 2:45 PM)
The hospitals could also, in fact, lessen their bad debts line on their P&Ls by simply paying a medical travel facilitator the $15K-$25k to take no-pay hearts, hips, knees,and shoulders off their hands. Local hospitals are losing between $40k and $140k on these cases....

My chilli bush produces chillies profusely and I was at a loss as to what to
do with them. This was my solution ...
20 African bird's eye chillies
1 large onion
6 medium tomatoes
5 cloves of garlic
1 tsp salt
2 tsp origanum
1/5 cup white spirit vinegar
2 cup sugar
- finely chop the onion and tomatoes
- remove the seeds from the chillies and finely chop the flesh. You might
want to wear gloves for this. I chopped my chillies two hours ago and my
hands are still, erm, warm. You also want to be very careful not to get
any seeds in the chopped chilli, and not to rub your eyes, etc. This
stuff burns like hell ;-)
- crush the garlic
- put all of the above in a pot with the tsp of salt and allow the tomatoes
to draw for about five minutes over a low heat.
- if you've got one of those wizz-stick things, use it to chop everything in
the pot up even finer (else do it right the first time ;-)
- add the origanum, vinegar and sugar
- simmer gently over a low heat for about forty-five minutes. you need to
leave the lid on the pot for the first twenty minutes or so to cook
everything and then you need to remove the lid to allow the mixture to
reduce to a nice sauce.
- bottle whilst still hot in a clean, dry bottle/jar (makes about one
chutney bottle's worth)
You should probably refrigerate this after re-opening the jar

So I went away for a long weekend, and for the first time in as
long as I can remember, Big Brother
didn't page me once. Not a single peep. It was great.
In all fairness, our copy of Big
Brother currently monitors over 920 services on 282 different
hosts, many of which aren't controlled by the IT Division or, in some cases,
even at Rhodes. It is sort of
expected that at any one time at least one of these services will
be broken. Which is why it was kind of strange and nice that I got
a weekend of peace and quiet. I must be doing something right ...
or horribly wrong. :)
Tuesday, March 15, 2005
After many, many months in the pipeline, GINX got
its first (second actually, Rhodes was
the first) peer
— kudos to Bradley for
bringing the Albany Schools Network online.
A few teething problems emerged once we started to see real traffic via the
GINX switch. The first of these related to some DNS hacks we were doing.
Because Albany Schools effectively moved from inside our firewall to outside
don't ask ...), we needed to punch some holes into our firewall to get
things to work as they were before. This won't be the case when other
people come on board.
The second problem was that we had an asymmetric route to Rhodes. We're
peering to GINX with our two redundant border routers. A bug in the config
of our primary router meant it wasn't advertising its route to GINX but was
learning routes from it — so traffic from Rhodes went out via one
router and in via a different one. Sorta breaks stateful firewall rules ;-)
Adding the missing allow line to the config fixed that problem; GINX now sees two routes for Rhodes
and gets the preference (metric, multi-exit
discriminator) right. BGP is cool.
To celebrate this, Russell and I had
a go at updating the GINX website to
do content
negotiation à la the W3C's Architecture of the World Wide Web.
So now http://ginx.org.za/lookingglass.cgi is http://ginx.org.za/lookingglass,
http://ginx.org.za/status.html is http://ginx.org.za/status and so on.
We also created an RSS feed and got Sablotron and
PHP to render the status page from it via an XSLT style
sheet. The web is a wonderful place. CSS, PHP and XML can make it better.
Now we need to get Cliff at Imaginet to get round to setting up
his peer — all the bits seem to be in place, he just needs to plug
them together — and we'll start seeing some real use from GINX. Oh,
and the Foundation would be nice
too, but that's a lot more complex to get right because of how it's
connected to the peering point and they're about to start SciFest. Broken routing there would
probably go down like a lead balloon.

It appears that there is a bug in Perl 5.8.6's FindBin.pm whereby things
don't work so well if it doesn't have access to the current working
I picked this up trying to debug MRTG.
The program would run just fine from the command line, but not from /etc/crontab.
After playing with cron's
path and env(1)
to try and figure out what was going on, I found the following error from
Use of uninitialized value in string at /usr/local/bin/mrtg line 78.
Empty compile time value given to use lib at /usr/local/bin/mrtg line 78
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/bin/mrtg line 79.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/bin/mrtg line 703.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/bin/mrtg line 703.
ERROR: Can't Execute '/rateup'
Looking on line 78 and 79 of the MRTG code I found:
use FindBin;
use lib "${FindBin::Bin}";
Some googling lead me to a similar bug
report for RedHat Linux. Their
fix was a patch to FindBin.pm.
Since I'm not wildly keen on altering bits of my Perl installation (I forsee
problems later when I try and upgrade and have forgotten why I did it), I
decided to try for a simpler, less invasive solution. Since it appears that
the problem is related to permissions on the current working directory, and
I'm not sure what cron's
current working directory is by default, I decided to try setting it
explicitly. So I changed my cron entry from
*/5 * * * * stats /usr/local/bin/mrtg /usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg
*/5 * * * * stats cd /tmp; /usr/local/bin/mrtg /usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg
Anyway, I just thought I'd share this simple solution in case anyone else
bumps their head against the same problem.

In an effort to try and drag things into the digital era, I've managed to
convince Rhodes that it'd be a good idea if we could issue digital
signatures for signing e-mail.
One of the nicest systems for doing this that I've seen is Thawte's Web of Trust. The idea is that you
can register for a (free) Thawte-signed digital
signature. Because Thawte have no way of validating your identity, you
get a signature without your name on it.
If you want to have your name added (which is useful if you're planning on
using it as a signature, rather than as a crypto key) you need to find
someone to notarise your certificate. The way Thawte handle this
is to out-source the checking of identity documents to willing participants.
In other words Thawte trusts one of their notaries who trusts you. You need
to get at least two notaries to trust you before you get a name on your
certificate, thus the web of trust. Eventually if enough people trust you,
you're empowered to trust other people and thus become a notary yourself.
It's very similar in many ways to PGP's idea of a web of signed
certificates, but has the advantages of Thawte's root CA certificate being
at the end of the chain, as well as being S/MIME
(that's a rant for another day. suffice to say S/MIME works better than PGP
There is an obvious bootstrapping problem with this. How do the first
notaries become notaries. Well Thawte's answer to that is to make use of
trusted third parties, being bank managers, lawyers and chartered
accountants. If you want to be a notary and you can find enough Thawte
notaries to notarise you, then you find two trusted third parties and get
them to verify your identity to thawte.
This is what we did today. Three of us from the IT Division wandered down High Street
armed with paperwork and found ourselves some trusted third parties (the
manager of First National Bank and a
public notary at Wheeldon, Rushmere and Cole). It was a little difficult to
get the concept of what we were trying to do across, but we came away with
appropriately verified identity documents. Many thanks to our two trusted
third parties.
Our idea is simple - we're trying to get enough Thawte notaries in
Grahamstown to be able to notarise other people's certificates so that we
can fix the bootstrapping problem. Once we're done with this, we'll happily
help anyone at Rhodes (or in Grahamstown) who's looking for a digital
signature to get a Thawte
personal e-mail certificate with their name on it. Hopefully this'll
raise awareness of the need for and use of this technology.

Malloy rejects Obamacare option
HARTFORD (AP) Gov. Dannel P. Malloy says the state of Connecticut will not abide by President Barack Obama's request that states allow insurance companies to continue offering plans that don't meet minimum levels of coverage required by the federal health insurance overhaul.
The Democrat said Friday that the solution the president offered last week for the millions of Americans facing policy cancellations "won't work in Connecticut."

REFORMULATED. Please see http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=153868/ColorStay-Makeup-%2824-hour-formula---2012/2013%29/Revlon/Liquid
PLEASE OH PLEASE REVLON, JUST ADD A PUMP! The pump is the only reason I would not re-buy this product. It's tiresome to slowly pour out the foundation, praying that not too much comes out and having to shovel it back in when it does. The soft flex is also a problem. The tiny little sparkles in this foundation do make your face look dewy however this foundation has the Edward Cullen effect; glitter and white cast. Two of my least favourite things in a foundation. The coverage is why I keep on getting this product. Amazingly excellent coverage, it's like an HD foundation. Although this foundation is very thick, I don't really mind. You can always mix this in with your sunscreen or moisterizer.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this product! This is literally the best foundation I have ever tried! I have tried Nars, Makeup forever HD foundation and plenty of other drugstore names but nothing compares to this one. I have the combination/oily in Caramel 400 and it blends SO well with my skin. It really absorbs well into the skin versus caking my skin like other foundations have. Also I noticed my skin wasn't oily like it normally is through out the day. And its only $10 at Wal-mart, very great deal. The only con to this product is that it does not have a pump =/ But I would definitely recommend this and from now on this will be my staple foundation product!

I have only been using this for maybe 2 weeks. Anyway, i got this because i was looking for a foundation that could last through summer sweat and oils or at the very least not enphasize the sweat and oils. I found the photoready definatley made me look greasier i think because of the little shimmers that i dont think you can really see just on there own its not glitter but does make a sweaty face look sweatier. I think this stuff lasts longer but i found it made my skin look a litttle dull. I cant win either to shiny or dull. So i have been mixing with luster drops or using my to the beach cream bronzer that i thought was also to shimmery to actually use in the summer but it works well with the matteness of this foundation. I think its okay im not WOWWED but its working for now. I will keep looking for something i like better. I also might try a not beige color eventually which i think might be the cause of the dulling effect more so then the foundation formula.
I've been using the Revlon ColorStay foundation in Buff for a few years now. I have pretty bad acne scarring on my cheeks and occasionally have a pimple. This foundation covers very nicely. Like most of the other commenters, I hate that it doesn't have a pump, but it's not a big deal to me. I pour a tiny amount at a time onto the back of my clean hand and apply it with a damp makeup sponge. I apply a thin layer all over my face. Then I dab the foundation where I have the scarring. It takes some practice to get it just right. I like that it's buildable and it looks natural. With some translucent powder, my makeup can last for twelve hours or more.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
this is actually a pretty decent full coverage foundation for a drugstore. i use it whenever i want a full coverage matte finish on my face. the only complaints i have about this foundation is that it does not have a pump so it is a bit if a pain in the butt to pour it out every time and you end up wasting product. another thing is that it doesnt look that great in flash photography due to the spf. but other than that its a really good foundation
This is the only drugstore liquid foundation i use. I have been using Revlon Colorstay w/ softflex spf6 - combination/oily skin foundation in natural tan 330 for 2 years now. It is pretty light and goes on pretty well. For my uneven skin, it covers very well and it doesnt make me breakout or anything crazy. The foundation doesnt smell funky at all. I would have to say it doesnt stay on for as long as it advertises but its good for a full workday. I really like this foundation and highly recommend it.
More reviews by dragonlace0926
For what I paid for it at a drugstore, I am disappointed. Not only did it break my skin out, but the smell it gave off even hours after application was terrible. It was difficult as well to match my colors and it ended up looking far from natural. I wouldn't buy this again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
So I've been using this product off and on for 6months verdict: perfect coverup foundation I don't even need concealer.... BUT BROKE ME OUT! I've never broken out so badly with a foundation.
-Perfect flawless cover
-looks good in photos despite SPF 5
-hard to find a perfect match to skintone so I had tomix natural tan(darker) with beige (lighter)
-broke me out badly I think the coverage is too good
More reviews by JennyBrielle16
Great great coverage. Very creamy, not too heavy on skin. I almost feel as if it's green-pigmented, but it could just the color I'm using (Natural Tan). It can get a bit greasy, noting that I'm not prone to oily skin, but not excessively. Just as great as all other Revlon Foundations!
I have used all kinds of foundation (Make Up Forever, MAC, Clinique, Bare Minerals) and have been coming back to Revlon Colorstay in Ivory. I have very fair skin that is hard to match, and the lightest shades of most products are too dark for me, but not this one. The color is perfect, and I don't have to touch up makeup by noon everyday.

By now, if you've been following our humble little musings on art, the gallery and life's little pleasures, you know how much we Huffingtons adore (and we mean ADORE) what we do here at the gallery.
On the calendar for Thursday, May 6th, is "The Sea, The Sky and the Space In Between," a one-man show by one of our faves, Doug Foltz. Doug came to us by way of some good friends and we were thrilled when he signed on with us. We were one of his first gallery experiences and still pretty new to the scene, so it's been fun growing and developing together.
Meg & Doug
Doug invited us over to his little studio a while ago to discuss the show and review some of the work he already had in progress. We love Doug's space. It's the perfect artist's studio – plenty of light, a good amount of space and every inch of wall space covered in either a painting or some tidbit of inspiration for Doug. Add to that Doug's painting paraphernalia and it's an art-lover's dream.
The tools of the trade
Plenty o' paint in order to mix the perfect shades of color for Doug's amazing skies
Doug's the perfect host (seems to be an innate quality for our artists or do they just know how to treat us?) and poured us both a nice little glass of red while we chatted and feasted our eyes on his paintings. He's really fun to talk to and has a witty sense of humor - but also a very introspective and serious side that comes out when we discuss his work.
We like to joke about Doug that he was born with one foot in the water. As a kid in Miami, Doug spent every waking moment in a boat, sailing those pretty turquoisey waters between Miami and the Bahamas. He's a quintessential outdoorsman and we think he is probably miserable when he's cooped up and unable to be outside. In fact, it's in his love of nature, and especially the water, that he finds his inspiration.
The Space In Between (in progress)
Rethinking Refuge (in progress)
Doug is best-known for his light-infused paintings that explore the sometimes calm and often stormy relationship between land, sea and sky. His paintings capture the enormous sweeping skies and horizons of the ocean; the luminous clouds; the sunlit seas and, as Doug puts it, "all the stuff in between."
Doug Foltz, More Than A Minor Adjustment, oil on canvas, 24 x 30"
Doug Foltz, Tide Line, oil on canvas, 20 x 20"
He's a methodical and thoughtful painter who works slowly, applying layers of oil paint that illuminate nuances and effortlessly portray light and water. All of his work has a clear focal point, that special "sweet spot" that draws you into the very essence of the painting. Many of his fans say that his work fills them with a sense of serenity and calmness and this is certainly true. There's something elemental about Doug's paintings: it's just down to Mother Nature – and you. Not surprisingly, that's exactly how Doug has planned it:
Doug Foltz, A Momentary Opening, oil on canvas, 36 x60"
If you're in Atlanta, we hope you can join us for Doug's opening on Thursday, May 6th from 6-8 p.m.. He'll be here to say hello to friends and fans. We can't wait! If you can't make the show, we hope you'll visit our website where you can view Doug's paintings on your computer screen.
Ann and Master Doug
And, stay tuned for Part Two of He's Brilliant, coming next week.

Jerusalem can be built in a day — if you use Lego blocks
SOUTHBURY — In Eric Greenburg's version of Jerusalem, R2D2 resides in David's Tower.
"It will be cool," the six-year-old said as the tiny robot toured the foot-tall red tower he had just built.

Why I'm a Breastfeeding Dad
By Trevor MacDonald
Photo by Photos.com
I'm a transgender parent: not the parent of a transgender child, nor a parent who transitioned after having kids. Rather, I transitioned from female to male, and then later became pregnant—as a trans man. I had a healthy pregnancy, and birthed my baby naturally. And in that first moment when I saw my baby and held him in my arms—smelling his amazing, newborn baby smell—I became addicted to him.
Just last week, my little guy turned 1 years old, and I can say that my initial intense feeling toward him has only become more powerful over time. Part of its effect is to make me highly sensitive to my child's needs, despite the awkward moments we sometimes endure in public as a nursing couple.
I was on an airplane a few months ago and my baby began crying during the descent. I unbuttoned my shirt and latched him on; from what I've read nursing can really help to ease the pain in a baby's ears due to changes in pressure on a flight. When we landed, a fellow passenger came to stand in front of me and said, "Why are you breastfeeding this baby?"
I looked around and reminded myself that, on a crowded airplane, she probably couldn't do us any physical harm. I explained, "Oh, I'm transgender. I birthed him myself, and so now I'm breastfeeding him."
"Well you're going to ruin his ears flying with him like this. This baby needs a real boob, man."
I was born female but transitioned to male at age 23 by taking testosterone. My voice dropped, I grew facial hair, and my body shape changed. One year later, I had male chest-contouring surgery that removed most of my breast tissue. I retained my female reproductive organs, but I felt (and still feel) fully male, and anybody seeing me on the street would never guess that I'm anything but a regular dude. This is how I'm happy.
In fact, after my transition, I was so very happy and comfortable that I quickly settled down with Ian, the love of my life (yes, I'm that complicated - I'm not just any old transgender guy, I'm a gay transgender guy, and it is perfectly right for me). Soon we decided we'd like to have a family together. We looked into adoption, but then decided that the homegrown variety would be best for us. We consulted with a few doctors who suggested that I stop taking my testosterone and wait for my cycles to return to normal. They did, and we married and got pregnant. We were so traditional, even, that our due date was exactly forty weeks from the day of our wedding.
I chose to breastfeed our son as best I could. Due to my previous surgery, I don't make all the milk that he needs, so I use what is called a supplemental nursing system (SNS) to feed him donated breast milk. The SNS consists of a long, narrow feeding tube that sits in the donated milk in a bottle. I place the tube just by my nipple so that my baby latches on to the tube as well as my nipple. He then gets all the breast milk that I'm able to produce simultaneous to the supplement that he draws from the bottle. All of his feedings are done at my chest. After one year of this, we are still both enjoying our breastfeeding relationship.
My breastfeeding journey has not been easy. It's physically very challenging to latch a baby on when you have next to zero protruding breast tissue. Learning to juggle the SNS in addition to this made nursing even harder for us. So why do I bother? Why don't I just give my baby his donated breast milk in a bottle and call it a day?

Julian Bond, Brendon Ayanbadejo make robocalls to back gay-marriage bill
BY NATASHA KORECKI Political Reporter @natashakorecki May 13, 2013 12:20AM
- Listen: Julian Bond robocall supporting gay marriage in Illinois
- Listen: Former Chicago Bears Brendon Ayanbadejo's robocall for marriage equality
Updated: June 14, 2013 6:29AM
Two pro-gay-marriage robocalls — one by a former Chicago Bears player and another by a civil rights leader — are expected to go out in the districts of Illinois House Black Caucus members on Monday, urging support for gay marriage legislation that's still awaiting a vote in that chamber in the waning days of the session.
One of the calls features civil rights leader Julian Bond; the other, onetime Bears player Brendon Ayanbadejo.
The calls aim to persuade constituents to get in touch with their lawmakers and urge a "yes" vote on a pending gay-marriage bill.
It combats recent efforts by gay-marriage opponents who already have put out two rounds of robocalls featuring the Rev. James Meeks, a powerful fixture in the black community.
Monday's robocalls are just the latest effort to target Black Caucus members in the ongoing debate over whether Illinois should legalize same-sex marriage.
Several Republicans have committed to crossing over and voting "yes," potentially leaving the Black Caucus with critical sway over the issue.
The measure easily passed the Illinois Senate in February, when Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago) calling the bill on Valentine's Day. The vote tallies are trickier in the Illinois House, with numbers reaching just below 60 or just at 60 in unofficial counts.
With just three weeks left in the session, both sides are working to line up support. Earlier this session, the Chicago-based African American Clergy Coalition joined forces with the National Organization for Marriage, pooling resources in opposition.
"I believe that most of your family-oriented organizations thought, erroneously, the majority of the African-American community is behind a liberal agenda, period," Bishop Lance Davis, senior pastor of the New Zion Christian Fellowship Church of Dolton, told the Chicago Sun-Times last month. "They found out the African-American church is very conservative."
Gay-rights activists, working under the umbrella coalition of Illinois Unites for Marriage, are pushing for the 60 votes needed to advance the legislation, which Gov. Pat Quinn has said he would sign. Illinois Unites for Marriage paid for the new round of robocalls.
Ayanbedejo, a three-time pro-bowler, has been an outspoken supporter of gay rights and made national headlines last month announcing that a group of NFL players were prepared to come out in the days after NBA player Jason Collins' revelation. In his call, Ayanbedejo — who was born in Illinois — touches on being the son of a biracial couple whose relationship was once illegal in this country.
"It's time to take those steps once again in Illinois. We need to let the world know that Illinois accepts all people regardless of who they love," he says in the call.
Bond's involvement, meanwhile, underscores gay-rights' advocates argument that the modern-day same-sex marriage movement is akin to fighting for racial equality during the nation's civil rights era.
In recent weeks, some members of the Black Caucus have come out in support of gay marriage, including Illinois Rep. Ken Dunkin (D-Chicago), who signed on as a co-sponsor to the pending bill.
The calls will target constituents in 17 House districts that include Dunkin's; Monique Davis; Will Davis; Marcus Evans; Mary Flowers; LaShawn Ford; Esther Golar; Chuck Jefferson; Derrick Smith, and Art Turner, in addition to others.

The Good Wife Review: A Mess, Indeedby Carla Day at . Comments
The legal world is manipulative and unkind. Indeed, Clarke Hayden had it right when he said, "This is a mess."
"The Seven Day Rule" proved what a twisted situation this was all around. The bankruptcy extension hearing was a web of manipulated facts, personal interests and painful realities.
Back at the office, the prenuptial negotiations were an even worse bigger mess, with the lawyers screwing with their own client. And why? For their own professional gain. Clarke was right to question whether he wanted to join this profession.
Wouldn't every judge in Chicago be familiar with Louis Canning's "disability antics" by now? Or do the judges really buy into it? It's difficult to believe that it wouldn't be a topic of conversation in the judges' social circle and even with other lawyers. I know I'm getting tired of seeing it. Get a new act, Canning!
When it was first revealed that Canning bought Lockhart & Gardner's debt, it was quite surprising that Will and Diane had no clue about it. We didn't get to witness their shock when they found out, but the big face-off in court over the bankruptcy was a doozy. Other than Canning's continual medical ploys, it was an entertaining back and forth between the sides. In the end, Canning's less-than-ethical methods got the better of him and he lost.
Lockhart & Gardner's impressive results in court scared a company enough that they were willing to front Canning the cash to buy the firm's debt. Take out the firm, shut down the lawsuits? That seems unlikely, but they must have seen it as a smart and lucrative business move. I hope we see the firm go more forcefully against that corporation in the future. They must have something fear or they wouldn't have played the game.
Diane and Will's decision to offer partnerships to five fourth-year associates made good financial sense given they are convinced they can save the firm. It's definitely a risk. Will the associates have enough confidence in the troubled firm to commit $600,000 to it? That's a tough professional decision. If they make the wrong one, it could haunt them for the rest of their career.
Alicia's irritation that she wasn't special in getting the offer was understandable, but Diane made a good point that it doesn't matter why the offer was made. The confidence they have in her work is evident every day, so whether others were offered a partnership too shouldn't matter. Yet ... it does. Even though Alicia put on a fake smile and thanked the partners, will she go through with it? Or will she consider Canning's offer?
As often as Lockhart & Gardner bend the law in its favor, it doesn't go to the same lengths as Canning has. I don't see Alicia being comfortable working for him given his style and ethics. Though, the prenuptial case pushed the boundaries beyond the limits.
David Lee will do whatever it takes to win a case and get the business. It's a miracle that his actions didn't force the wedding to be called off. How could either the bride or groom trust each other after being given manipulated information about their future spouse? Deena was naive by agreeing to the original prenup, but should her lawyers have lied to her even if for her own good?
It's a tough call, but I'd say they went too far by twisting the lifestyle issues' requests. That was messing with her future happiness and marriage. In the end, they basically blackmailed a good prenup out of Neil. If all else fails, that's a way to get what you want. However, it was clear he gave in because Neil cared more about Deena than he cared about his money.
Even though this hour made the law look despicable, good was accomplished. The firm got its five-month extension and Deena will be taken care of if/when her marriage falls apart. Still outstanding is whether or not Alicia and/or Cary will become equity partners.
Were Diane and Will wrong to offer the partnerships to help the firm? Should Alicia join the firm or call Canning? Did David Lee go too far in the prenup negotiations? Or was he doing what was best for his client?

If they don't stop showing a new episode every three weeks then two till another one will knock the ratings way down and there won't be a season 5.
@Caro I agree about Neil giving in due to the threat of having his secret illegitimate child revealed. It was interesting how both Alicia and Deena were so naive in this episode. Deena believing that 'love is enough' and Alicia that she is so special to deserve the partnership after just 4 years. I think Alicia needed that dose of reality, she is no victim she manipulates the system when she needs to and Will did her a HUGE favor to even get her foot in the door at that law firm.
I like how in this series you can love or hate all the characters at different times, it's not all roses and rainbows which is refreshing for a series primarily targeted at women? (or maybe a series watched by mostly women)
It was clear Neil didn't budge because he loves Deena so much, it was to prevent her from finding out about his illegitimate love child!
But I agree with you on the other comments. It's getting old that Canning is pulling the disability card, I would have guessed judges be more smart and see through it. But on the other hand, I think judges might feel obliged to sympathize with the disabled, as they should, so therefore it's hard to spot fake antics like Cannings. It was fun to see him get kicked in court, though!
I really like Peter and Alicia growing together again, I hope they'll really get back together. But that takes time and I like that they're not rushing it.
This episode made the law look despicable???? When has it ever not been???? I know this episode should have made everybody complaining about the lack of Cary happy...................
This season has been on fire. TGW always know how to naturally develop the characters along with the story in the most natural way, and except the hit-and-miss plot-line Kalinda's husband, it's been a superb season. The guest stars doesn't come in as a gimmick (unlike so many shows), they come in because they're good. As for the episode: I hope she leaves LG at the end of the season, it would be such an (interesting) change of dynamic and would develop her character considering Canning would be her boss and she would go up against both her husband and her old firm. J.M and Baranski knocked the episode out of the park!
MJ Fox has a new show in the works. I hope he's gone from TGW for good.
back to my review. the case this week was entertaining and i too was annoyed with canning's tactics. do want alicia to join there so that she can appreciate how much LG sheltered her against the world and how she will forever be seen in the corporate world as Mrs Florick and nothing more. i still see her quiting law altogether and we then see her resume the role of the good wife....but still have the LG dynamic....... overall the content in this episode gives the writers options to explore and i hope they explore it correctly and how alicia's character would.
hayden is a funny addition and i hope that he applies for LG when he passes his bar........
@Ga Viewer. will didn't give up on alicia, she did. she never wanted him to be permenant he was there to spite peter nothing more nothing less. he realised she never loved him and was forever in love with peter. please read between the lines. she the way she is with peter and you realise why she stuck by him and alienated herself from everyone.
will never returns to a lady except that oe lady who had to leave for the uk i think..(correct if wrong) either way that ship sailed and i don't think she deserves him. she's like mellie, power hungry.
this episode was fantastic! i absolutely loved it 5/5 bravo writers. now lets get to reviewing. 1) shame alicia! finally they gave her a dose of reality, did she really think she was that special to be the only one to receive an equity partnership! glad my cary finally got something too. she finally seen what the real world is like and her bubble has burst. the scene where she called the loan company was the most important of the episode if not the series. 'who else is signed' 'oh yes my husband'. bravo there writers. she's happy to use her connections when it suits her but when things get real she forgets she's still married and thats why she is where she is smh. 2) her comment about being a atheist is also telling. its similar to when her mum visited and they discussed peter for her to go into the bathroom and now because she needs to be the ironic 'Good wife' she does the opposite because she feels she's loosing control again. i sense a mid life crisis soon or a breakdown
To complete my comment below... I want a Will and Alicia moment out of this, directly or indirectly addressing this issue because no matter how "right" he may have been as Partner of L&G, he did let her down as a friend, and that has got to hurt, especially after their romantic relationship, however brief. I like the fact that we get to see Alicia's sensitive side. Of late, I've felt she's a bit too much of snark... people morph for sure over time, but they don't completely change. Deep down we always are the same.

The video currently found in the presentation section of this site, as well as on Queen's You Tube channel is captioned. Please also find a transcript of the video below.
If you have any questions or concerns about the video and/or our captioning process, please contact the Office of the Provost.
My name is Alan Harrison. I've been at Queen's for about seven weeks and I have a long career in post-secondary education that stretches back 35 years in Canada.
I am a professor in the Economics Department at Queen's University which is of course the department where I worked when I first came to Canada 35 years ago. The University was always a point of comparison for everywhere that I went subsequently because of all the good things about the University.
My role is to support the Principal in what he has to do. It's really two jobs and in fact in some larger universities it would be separated to two different people. One would be the Vice Principal (Academic) or more commonly the Vice President (Academic) and that person's role is to be the chief academic officer which means essentially taking responsibility for everything that touches students' lives whilst they're at the university, whether that's in the classroom or whether that's co-curricular or extra-curricular.
So that's the Vice-Principal (Academic) position, and then overlaid on that is the Provost position which is ultimate responsibility for all operational decisions within the University and for the University's budget. The distinction I make is between this year's money and next year's money. This year's money is finance, next year's money is budget, because budget is about allocation, finance is about spending. So the job of the finance is to ensure that we spend the way we said we would, and budget is to determine for next year and subsequent years how those resources will be spent.
The things I do must support the strategic direction that is chartered for the University and it is in that role that the Provost supports the Principal. Execution is going to be key. A plan comes with lofty ideals but we have to turn that into actions that will actually achieve those ideals and I say "we" because I'm not going to do it alone. There are lots of people who work with me. The way I will try to ensure that we do execute appropriately is to work in tandem with all those people; make sure we know what it is we're trying to do, make sure that we're not distracted by things that we haven't agreed we're going to do and pull forward together.
By next year, I hope that we shall have presented the Board of Trustees Finance Committee with a balanced budget as the committee has requested. But more importantly, that that hasn't precluded us from making the first steps in the execution of the academic plan and making this a better university for all who work and study here.

Signed by Alexa Hampton
At an early age, Alexa Hampton learned the language of good design, the vocabulary to speak it, and the elements that define it. As the daughter of interior design legend Mark Hampton, she traveled the world by her father's side, touring the great architectural landmarks and discovering beauty, training her eye.
Now one of America's most influential designers herself, Alexa Hampton provides a tour of stunning residences from her own portfolio.
Eighteen classic spaces illustrate in rich detail the elements that govern cultivated design-contrast, proportion, color, and balance. Among the residences are a landmark 1912 McKim, Mead & White restoration on Fifth Avenue in New York City; an eclectic house by the sea layered in textures, patterns, and colors; a contemporary apartment distinguished by simple geometry and clean lines; and Hampton's own apartment, filled with an exquisite collection of architectural elements.
Hampton also explains how she tailored each space to meet her clients' needs while retaining a timeless aesthetic, and she provides design expertise on everything from fabric schemes to the particulars of paint. From a French neoclassical tour de force of architecture, artwork, and design to a Queen Anne summer cottage furnished to showcase the house's graceful nineteenth-century dimensions, the spaces here speak the language of design--a language that, under Hampton's tutelage, anyone can master.

Hurricane-relief Guardsmen tossed out of armory – for Victoria's Secret show
The Victoria's Secret show must go on — even if it means kicking out hardworking men and women in uniform.
Dozens of National Guardsmen, and Army and Air Force personnel who have been sleeping at Manhattan's Lexington Armory in between hurricane-relief shifts are being booted — to make room for Victoria's Secret models in anticipation of Wednesday's runway show.
About 300 uniformed personnel have been bunking down at the armory at various times since Sandy hit.
But their numbers will be reduced to 60 by Wednesday for the event, which is featuring Rihanna and Justin Bieber.
The military workers will be relocated to the Jacob Javits Center, Harlem Armory and hotels such as the Marriott East Side and Ramada East Side — where they'll bunk five to 10 per room on the government's dime, sources said.

Did you hear Jerry Jones put a Victoria's Secret in the Cowboys Stadium? What he needs to do is put those models into Cowboys uniforms and maybe he will have a winning team. Cowboys suck and go Colts!+1
Well, a lingerie show is, like, soooo much more important, than icky hurricane people and stuff.
For the LOVE of Pete, what the heck is going on with these people? Have they NO sense of priorities or propriety? Answer: no.+5
They should just bunk up together. Those models would probably appreciate real men.+6
You want Bieber?+2
no-mo-obamy, LOL, I'd split him in half. Then there would be two of little bastards running around.+2
Sounds like a "Bloomie" kind of thing.+2
Let's face it, folks — the *Entertainment Industry* (which includes fashion and spectator sports) is God in this culture. Nothing, not even the aftermath of natural disasters, must *Stop the Show*.+2
Well, as long as they aren't smoking or drinking 32 oz sodas, no problem!
I've long since stopped asking "can this get any worse or more stupid?" because, as many of these stories from Hurricane Sandy prove, yes, it can.+1
Rihanna and Jusitn Bieber? Which one will be wearing the pantyhose?0
Don;t forget they had power to Broadway the night after. The show must go on and all that shit.0
At an Armory? While troops are garrisoned for disaster relief?
This is a fucking disgrace0
More to this story than meets the eye.

Photo: Ross HalfimAlice Cooper has been known to spend quality time with a boa constrictor and various sinister characters during his over-the-top stage shows, but in the early 1970s he also used to hang around with a bunch of vampires. These creatures of the night weren't of the blood-sucking variety; rather, they were a drinking club made up of Cooper and some of his famous musical friends that collectively was known as The Hollywoood Vampires, who would meet in the loft at the Rainbow Bar on Los Angeles' Sunset Boulevard.
Alice now is asking fans to help him with a new project he's putting together that focuses on The Hollywood Vampires. In a message posted on his official website and Twitter account, Cooper writes, "After watching my copy of Super Duper Alice Cooper, I decided that I'd like to tell the story of The Hollywood Vampires…Notable members were myself, Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, Micky Dolenz & Keith Moon, with regular drop in's from just about everyone you could imagine. We also had a baseball team that included many other rock stars of the time."
Alice adds, "I want to preserve our legacy, and I need your blood! I'm looking for photos, stories, artifacts and witnesses from this place in rock history. If you saw a Vampire, tweet your story along with #HollywoodVampires!"
The initiative appears to be tied in with the recently announced covers album Cooper has recorded paying homage to the music made by the members of The Hollywood Vampires, many of whom are no longer with us. During a press conference for the recent Sweden Rock Festival, Alice revealed that the album wouldn't be released "until the fall or the beginning of next year."
In other news, Cooper recently revealed that his touring band's lineup recently underwent a change, with Australian guitar whiz Orianthi exiting the group and being replaced by Nita Strauss. Strauss previously has played with such bands as The Iron Maidens, Femme Fatale and LA Kiss.
Cooper will play three headlining shows in Michigan in late June before hitting the road as Motley Crue's special guest on the glam-metal band's massive farewell tour. The trek kicks off July 2 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

text: The early 1930's. Manchuria is in the occupation of Japan when the League of Nations rejected their proposal for non-racial discrimination. This led to Japan walking out of the League of Nations. On the home islands severe famine wracked the countryside. The Depression, tariffs, boycotts and widespread unemployment contributed to the growing sense of futility and anger at those who manipulated events to line their own pockets. A group of junior officers decided to wipe out the corrupt elements and ask his majesty to form a new government headed by dedicated military men who would bring justice and good government to all. The young rebels marched through the bitterly cold snow that blanketed Tokyo. They steeled themselves for what would follow, never imagining that their rendezvous with history would end as it did...

Okay, this was worthless as a relationship exercise, but ultimately beneficial as a musician.
We both agreed to exercise our talents and create something for eachother. She would create a special rock-braclet for me. I would record an album for her.
In the end, she wound up leaving the country without telling anyone.
I wound up giving the album to her sister.
Sarah came back to Seattle for a week and I ran into her at a local pub and she just waved. This is a person who I would normally have nice conversations with in the past when we saw eachother, so all I could think of is that she probably felt guilty or embarrassed that she couldn't hold up her end of the deal. Personally, I don't care that much if she held up the deal or not. I mean, I got some great music out of it. But I think the least she could have done was say, "hey, sorry I didn't do what I said, but I was in a really bad place. maybe someday we'll meet again and I'll make it up to you". But its been my experience that people just don't have much integrity. Oh well. Next….
this one was a red herring. i didn't actually find any equipment that i don't use any more or isn't ready to hand over to the sand-people….

In my previous article on Tadasana, I've explained few common instructions applicable to all the yogasanas. Charan or pada in Sanskrit language means foot and hasta means the hand. The literal meaning of padahastasana means 'hand to foot pose'. In spirituality 'charan' has the greatest importance while addressing the Perfect Masters or Realized Souls. Touching their feet is an act of reverence. This asana has special importance in yoga.
Technique / Method of Padahastasana
- Take the position of Tadasana.
- Bend forward as you breathe out and keep the knees tight and stiff and do not bend them at all, and insert hands under the feet and let the palms touch the soles.
- Raise the head up slowly and let the back attain the concave position to the extent possible. Do not slacken the grip at the knees and avail a few breaths in that position.
- Bring the head down between the knees as you exhale, bend the elbows and pull the feet up from the palms. If one has a displaced disc, do not bring the head between the knees.
- Breathe normally and try to remain in that position for about 20 seconds.
- Lift the head up as you inhale and get back to position 2.
- Inhale again and revert the Tadasana position.
Physical/therapeutic benefits
- The emphatic gain in this asana is the flow of blood to the head. There are other asanas also to take care of this aspect (especially Shirsansna-the headstand) but in this asana the objective is achieved without the difficulties involved in other asanas.
- The stress on the abdominal organs strengthens and tones them up.
- This is a specific asana for constipation, indigestion and gastric troubles. It has preventive as well as curative effects. Improves the state of bloating. Assists digestion, with increased flow of digestive juices.
- Helps to attain the state of plasticity in the spine, it becomes flexible and straight felicitating easy, trouble-free movements.
- Scales down the pain in sciatica and improves the condition.
- With the stretching of the back muscles, they are energized, and after performing this asana, one feels replenishment of strength in the body.
- Greatly improves blood circulation to all parts of the body.
- The concave back position in the asana helps in setting right the slipped discs.
- The whole body is 'taken to task' and shoulders, chest, abdomen, thighs and knees, neck waist get the needed exercise.
- Hamstrings strengthened; hips toned; as for the legs, ligaments and tendons are stretched and strengthened.
Spiritual benefits
1. With waste material getting out of the body, with purification and proper blood circulation, with better oxygen inflow, with disciplined exhaling and inhaling, one is able to concentrate better. This asana is the best friend of those who practice intensive meditation.
If you suffer from any serious ailments in external as well as internal parts of the body, consult your doctor before practicing this asana. Expert guidance is needed for this asana, in the learning stages. Not advised for those suffering from high blood pressure, heart diseases and acute acidity.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Engelbrecht, Mia-Jeanne email@example.com URN etd-12192011-100555 Document Title Investigating the ultrastructure of fibrin networks, platelets and coagulation profiles in healthy individuals Degree MSc Department Anatomy Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof E Pretorius Supervisor Keywords
- healthy individuals
- platelets
- fibrin networks
- coagulation profiles
Date 2011-09-09 Availability restricted AbstractNormal blood flow in healthy individuals is achieved by the maintenance of a balance between the procoagulant and anticoagulant (fibrinolytic) pathways in the blood. A number of changes occur during aging with regards to fibrin network structure, platelet morphology and the overall coagulation profile of individuals. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics necessary for fibrin networks and platelets to be classified as healthy as well as the effect of aging and sex on the coagulation potential of healthy individuals. 36 Voluntary individuals (separated into six different age groups) were selected and their platelets, fibrin networks and coagulation potential were studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Fibrinogen Levels and Thromboelastography® (TEG®). For SEM and TEM thrombi were formed by the addition of human thrombin to the freshly prepared platelet-rich plasma of the participants. The thrombi were fixed and prepared according to electron microscopy guidelines before being viewed. Fibrinogen Levels and TEG® were performed by trained technicians in a Haematology Laboratory. Statistical analysis was performed on the fibrin fibres of the fibrin networks to determine the average diameter of the fibres and to compare the fibre thickness of different individuals in different age groups. Statistical analysis was also performed on the TEG® results in order to compare the TEG® variables of each age group. With regards to the coagulation profiles of the participants the Fibrinogen Levels were found to increase with age, but was not statistically significant. The same was true for the TEG® variables, Alpha Angle and Maximum Amplitude. The Reaction Time and KTime, however, decreased with an advance in age, but not with statistical significance. The TEG® Index however was found to increase with statistical significance with advancing age (P=0.0065). All the variables were found to be within the normal set medical ranges provided by the manufacturers. The ultrastructure of fibrin networks were found to consist mostly of major fibres with minor fibres sparsely arranged in between, especially in younger individuals. The fibrin networks become denser with an advance in age and seem to be due to an increase in the amount of minor fibres. Statistically the obtained histograms did not have the expected bimodal distribution pattern, but rather appeared "merged" with no clear distinction between the major and minor fibres. With advancing age the thin fibres form "net-like" structures that cover sections of the thrombus. Fibre bundles could be observed after the age of 50. Platelet surface morphology was found to be similar in all the age groups and the same was true for the platelet interior. The overall amount of granules within the granulomere of the platelets was found to decrease after the age of 40. Slight spreading of the platelets could be observed in ages over 50 years. The TEG® Index was found to be directly proportional to an advance in age. The TEG® variables, however, did not differ significantly between the six assessed age groups. No statistically significant difference could be observed when comparing the Fibrinogen Levels of the participants. Changes in the fibrin network morphology, related to aging, systematically increase due to aging and are most prominent after the age of 60. Intermediate fibre diameters were found to be present in addition to the major and minor fibres. Major fibres appear to decrease in diameter with advancing age, rather than decreasing in number. Platelet morphology showed no real differences with an increase in age when comparing the different age groups. Sex-related differences could not be found with regard to platelet morphology and coagulation profiles; however, the fibrin network structure appears to be influenced by sex. Sex-related differences in the fibrin network morphology were found to appear after the age of 30 and persisted up to the age of 60 after which the differences seem to disappear. From the results obtained in the current study, it can therefore be concluded that age-related changes occur in all individuals, but are most prominent in the SEM images of the fibrin network ultrastructure. Sex-related differences could only be observed in fibrin networks. Electron microscopy can thus be assumed to be more sensitive to alterations in coagulation than blood assays such as TEG®.
