At a Glance
Behind the scenes, electronic health record (EHR) deployments are challenging administrators to rethink conventional approaches to revenue cycle design. New EHR systems have more functionality and can offer solutions to age-old billing challenges. Providers that do not embrace these new concepts will miss opportunities to improve long-term revenue cycle outcomes. Hospital leaders often overlook these potential enhancements because:
Among the most significant of these often-overlooked new EHR concepts is the dynamic charge description master (CDM). Healthcare finance leaders should be familiar with this concept because implementation of a dynamic CDM is a critical step in building a truly integrated EHR system.
Traditionally, all information that appears on a hospital claim-including bill descriptions, CPT/HCPCS coding, and prices-is stored within the CDM, a table within the patient accounting system. The problem is that a traditional CDM tends to be large and complex, making it difficult to maintain.
A dynamic CDM solves this problem by integrating information from electronic clinical ancillary systems into the charge-capture process, which reduces reliance on the patient accounting system as the sole source for charge information. A dynamic CDM replaces paper documentation forms and paper charge sheets with computer screens, allowing revenue cycle elements to pass directly from clinical ancillary systems to the patient bill. Such an approach reduces the CDM's size and complexity, enhances billing accuracy, and streamlines maintenance processes. A look at how a dynamic CDM can be used for both supply and pharmacy billing can illustrate how these results are achieved.
Hospitals and health systems have long struggled to maintain an accurate and complete list of charges for perioperative devices. Surgical supply billing is complex due to the diversity of materials used in surgery departments, complexity of coding under the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS), and the challenge of keeping supply costs and CDM prices in alignment.
An increasing number of hospitals are moving to a dynamic charging structure, where a CDM record is combined with information from the perioperative clinical module to complete the fields that ultimately populate the patient claim. Information that can be sent from the perioperative clinical system includes descriptions, prices, and quantities.
Among the many benefits to this approach are:
Exhibit 1
For most hospital finance leaders, however, the biggest single benefit is pricing accuracy. In a traditional CDM, prices are seldom realigned to reflect changes in supply costs, even though these costs tend to rise and fall over time. The divergence between underlying supply costs and prices can result in incorrect payments and the risk of recoupment from managed care payers with implant or supply payment terms.
Of course, maintaining revenue cycle data elements in the perioperative clinical module may require an increased emphasis on maintenance of data within that module. But the benefits of a simplified CDM, streamlined maintenance, and improved billing accuracy outweigh the investment.
Exhibit 2
Like billing for surgical supplies, hospital pharmacy billing is complicated. Pharmacy systems typically contain between 2,500 and 4,000 active drug records. In a traditional billing environment, CDM records, likewise, range between 2,500 and 4,000 records. In addition to maintaining each of these large databases and the interfaces between them, hospitals must also design a routine process for quickly adding new medications. Managing the pharmacy clinical and billing systems is challenging, often resulting in rejections, inaccurate charge information, and missed payment opportunities.
Because hospitals have always struggled to maintain a link between price and the fluctuating costs of medications, many hospitals currently generate prices from their pharmacy system. Data vendors regularly update pharmacy-system clients with current cost information that can be used in conjunction with hospital-pharmacy-system pricing algorithms to establish a price.
In addition to interfaced prices, many pharmacy systems can also send billing descriptions and HCPCS codes to the patient accounting system. Many data vendors and software solutions provide HCPCS codes in addition to cost information.
With a dynamic pharmacy CDM, billing descriptions, HCPCS codes, and prices are interfaced from the pharmacy system. Thus, only a limited set of records are needed in the hospital CDM-one for each UB revenue code classification.
Again, a dynamic pharmacy CDM offers numerous benefits, including greater transparency, simplified maintenance, and improved billing compliance.
Greater transparency. A dynamic pharmacy CDM reduces billing errors resulting from duplicate maintenance and complex interfaces. Pharmacy system descriptions are more accurate and provide greater detail than do conventional CDM descriptions.
Simplified maintenance. Under a dynamic approach, CDM managers no longer need to process pharmacy CDM requests daily. Pharmacy techs simply link new drug records to the dozen-or-so existing dynamic pharmacy charges. Dual maintenance between the billing system and pharmacy system is eliminated. The pharmacy system becomes the primary source of revenue cycle data elements.
Improved billing compliance. HCPCS codes that reside in the pharmacy system are more accurate and can be checked against national drug codes for each medication. The streamlined interface helps avoid errors and issues related to billing units.
Exhibit 3
Traditionally, every charge in a hospital CDM is linked to a single accounting unit (e.g., department)-if 13 different accounting units perform a chest X-ray at a given facility, 13 different charge codes reside in the facility CDM. Each charge code requires maintenance of CPT coding and prices.
In an integrated EHR environment, volume and revenue can be allocated to accounting units based on the locations of the computers used by the clinicians or how the clinicians logged onto their computer screens. This solution reduces the number of CDM line items. A CDM with fewer charge records to maintain allows for more consistent and accurate claims data. Similarly, it becomes easier to maintain a consistent pricing strategy across the hospital when duplicate charges for the same service are eliminated in the CDM.
A dynamic CDM with virtual accounting units enhances decision support information for hospital and health system leaders. Organizations with a dynamic CDM can aggregate service area volume, revenue, and productivity statistics more easily. For instance, if a hospital executive wants to determine how many two-view chest X-rays were billed in the previous month at the facility (and how much revenue was generated), he or she needs only to look at the totals for one billing code. By contrast, in a conventional CDM, the executive may have to aggregate volume and revenue figures for 13 bill codes.
Facility personnel also can more easily navigate a condensed CDM for possible new charges, and it is easier to maintain the link between the clinical front-end and the CDM. Hospital executives also will have greater confidence in their simplified CDM when state agencies and payers request that they publish it.
As a hospital moves forward with virtual accounting units, it should evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of this approach for clinicians and the organization's overall strategy. For example, six hospitals in California that implemented a virtual accounting unit strategy decided not to pursue this strategy in areas where clinicians move between departments and locations throughout the day. The risk of users selecting the wrong accounting unit outweighed the benefits of simplification in this case.
For hospitals that generate both facility and professional claims, cloning is a feature that can improve billing accuracy. This approach can be used in a hospital setting where physicians bill for their services in addition to the services billed by the hospital.
Many procedures are billable both from a professional (physician billing) and a facility (hospital billing) perspective (many payers separately reimburse both). This approach is commonly referred to as split billing and is standard practice for many procedures performed in a hospital setting. Traditionally, professional coders and hospital coders independently assign procedure codes (CPT/HCPCS) to patient accounts for the services that require split billing. These separate groups of coders often do not come up with the same codes.
By replicating (or cloning) a professional code and sending it to the hospital account, however, facilities can reduce redundant work steps and ensure professional and facility claims are consistent. After a clinician documents a specific procedure (CPT code) in the EHR system, the system checks if it is appropriate for a professional-claim-only, facility-claim-only, or if it can be billed on both patient claims. Depending on the billing requirements of the procedure, the system will trigger a facility-specific-charge, professional-specific charge, or both in the billing system. Often, one set of coders will review the coding to make sure it is appropriate, reducing the workload for coding departments.
Implementing a dynamic CDM is a technology-driven strategy that, when implemented appropriately, will improve a hospital's revenue cycle. Nonetheless, organizations can expect to encounter obstacles during this process. Many organizations feel that moving from paper to electronic documentation is a large enough hurdle without adding the structural and process changes designed to improve revenue cycle. However, organizations that do not place a strong emphasis on rethinking the revenue cycle when they implement their integrated EHR systems could inadvertently jeopardize future revenue cycle performance.
Exhibit 4
The following are hurdles that a hospital's financial leader should be prepared to address.
Cost Accounting. Many hospitals have historically used patient accounting system data for cost-accounting models and studies. By analyzing charge information and volumes, cost accountants develop models to arrive at "cost-per-case" statistics to help management understand which services are profitable.
Using dynamic strategies, billing information is captured closer to the point of care and no longer resides in the CDM. As a result, cost accounting models must be updated to incorporate data from ancillary systems (e.g., perioperative and pharmacy systems).
The good news is that these ancillary systems can produce significantly more detail and better cost information than the patient accounting system. For example, the operating room module can provide costs for all supplies used during the procedure, including nonbillable costs for items such as drapes and gauze; for the physician who performed the procedure; for wasted implants that were not billed; and even for nursing teams and specific case tracking times for overhead allocations.
Although cost accounting data from ancillary systems will be much more robust than data derived from the patient accounting system, developing and integrating data extracts into existing cost models may present challenges at some facilities. When considering dynamic CDM strategies, it is important to understand the implications to cost accounting systems and processes.
Management of changes in responsibility. Many clinicians prefer delegating various revenue cycle responsibilities to other parties so they can concentrate on what is most important to them: their medical practices. Yet it is the people who treat the patients, more than anyone, who know what services were rendered. Despite their potential resistance, clinicians need to be educated on the dynamic CDM and their role in the revenue cycle in an EHR environment. To encourage greater clinician engagement, clinicians should be involved in the EHR technology design, testing, and implementation phases.
Information extracts. A dynamic CDM requires information to be collected from systems other than the patient accounting system. For instance, with a dynamic pharmacy CDM, analysts must pull information from the pharmacy module to determine how many Tylenol tabs the hospital pharmacy has dispensed and billed. Similarly, if virtual accounting units are used, the hospital will need to generate reports displaying billed procedures by accounting unit. Building a process to routinely extract information from the clinical systems will take work, but this information will yield better cost, revenue, and operational information than can be obtained using a basic CDM revenue and usage report. A hospital that intends to engage a coding software company should do so early to give both parties sufficient time to design extracts that integrate with the software.
Exhibit 5
Hospital finance leaders should ensure that their organizations take three important steps before embarking on a dynamic CDM strategy:
Determine the organization's goals. Before selecting software and deploying implementation teams, the organization should identify its overall goals for implementing an integrated EHR. Taking this important step helps ensure that all design decisions are based on the overall project goals, and not on vendor recommendations or the ideas of the project team member with the loudest voice. Today's healthcare IT systems have become incredibly sophisticated. The future-state of having clinical documentation electronically drive the coding and charges that ultimately populate the patient bill is becoming a reality. However, as most organizations can attest, IT implementations can be costly endeavors that yield headaches, angry employees, and even lost revenue.
Include local revenue cycle leaders onto the EHR implementation team. Among the typical phases of a technology implementation is a phase often referred to as the "trough of disillusionment,' during which there is increased risk of lost revenue (see the exhibit on Page 68). To mitigate this risk and enhance revenue cycle outcomes, local revenue cycle leaders should be actively involved on the core EHR implementation teams. Including these leaders on the team helps to ensure that revenue cycle concerns are not lost amid competing priorities (IT folks trying to meet tight deadlines and clinicians wanting something in place that is simple to use).
More than anyone, local revenue cycle leaders provide CDM expertise for IT implementations. In particular, they understand how new technology can improve revenue cycle. From a project management perspective, they can help IT teams navigate the complexities of the organization, and understand how IT decisions can impact existing revenue cycle processes.
Local revenue cycle leaders also provide implementation assistance. These individuals know the current CDM, processes, and charge policies. They can assist in mapping ancillary system tables to a dynamic CDM. By being involved, they offer unique perspective on departments, systems, and revenue cycle readiness.
Revenue cycle oversight becomes increasingly more important in a fully integrated EHR environment. In the words of leadership guru Steven Covey, "Think with the end in mind." To project managers, the end is turning on a new system and having it work properly. To revenue cycle leaders, the end is having a functional maintenance plan in place for updating systems to address the ever-changing needs of the organization.
Weigh the pros and cons of each core dynamic revenue cycle strategy. This step is challenging because it requires getting into the technical nuances of foundational decisions, which is likely to be time-consuming and difficult. The best practice is to pursue decisions regarding CDM design/strategy internally, while gathering input from existing users of the integrated software solution.
Having an "if it ain't' broke, don't fix it" philosophy will limit organizations' revenue cycle performance. But by the same token, hospital leaders should not jump on every new revenue cycle solution, because such a philosophy is likely to lead to buyer's remorse. Yet organizations should at least carefully weigh the pros and cons of revenue cycle technological advancements. Those that closely consider the dynamic CDM strategies described here more often than not will embrace them. As Anthony Grove, founder of Intel Corporation, once said, "Not all problems have a technological answer, but when they do, that is the more lasting solution."

|Exploring Cincy's Revamped Bar Scene
Exploring Cincy's Revamped Bar Scene
The city's bar scene is under a massive transformation. Say "Cheers!" to some fresh ingredients in the mix that are bound to stir up your social taste buds.
In the past year, Cincinnati has seen a surge of new bars, and the trend only continues. So this week, Cincy Chic creates a menu of new and improved items on the Cincinnati bar scene.
Put out the Old and Bring in the New
Some of the more major changes come with the closing of one bar to bring in a new take on the place. One standout transition is with Jefferson Hall and Jack Potts Tavern. After residing in Over the Rhine for 10 years, Jefferson Hall made the move to Newport back in 2006. Now, Jack Potts Tavern is filling its Main Street shoes with it Over the Rhine firefighter/Co-owner Paul Fries. And Jack Potts is living up to Jefferson Hall's entertainment acclaim with their live music line-up.
Another Over the Rhine revitalization came with Neons' replacing itself. After sitting vacant the past couple years, Neons experienced a second grand opening back in April. Now, The Famous Neons Unplugged doesn't have quite as many neon signs as before, but the chill atmosphere and friendly staff make for a worthwhile choice for your entertainment selection.
Havana Martini Club's closing in June brings another opportunity for a revamped bar. The Gangster's Dueling Piano Bar just opened back in November, and now the Ohio side of the river joins in with its own take of the battle of the ivories. The Penguin Dueling Piano Bar will fill the space in Carew Tower. With establishments in Lexington and Columbia, Mo., this piano bar brings some expertise in the field that is bound to entertain.
Start from Scratch
With the closing of Havana Martini Club, Cincinnatians lost their weekly Wednesday salsa dance nights. Don't throw out your dancing shoes, though, because Bartini's just opened its doors. Salsa Night Wednesdays made their event list with every other night offering a different special. And as the name suggests, they brought the martinis with them, so check them out on Martini Mondays for $5 signature martinis.
And with its unique logo and doors, it's no secret that Passage has come to the Queen City. The secret comes in trying to find all of the nooks and crannies in this ornately designed lounge/night club. With inspirations from India and Imperial Britain, this new entertainment venue serves up more than just tapas and cocktails. They serve up an architectural feast for the eyes.
So whether you want to enjoy some live music or just sip a cocktail with some friends, Cincinnati continues to offer a bigger and better selection. So drink up the night life, and cheers to the revitalized Queen!

I am well pleased with my purchase. I am well pleased with my purchase. The style and fit is great. May 27, 2014
Great grip! Great padding and grip with these full finger gloves. I use full finger due to metal allergies and not a big fan of calluses. These replaced my first pair that lasted at least 1 1/2 years of use 6 days/week. February 26, 2014
best glove yet I have, in the past, used their (bionic) gloves before and was very pleased. This new one, is just better in every way. Dick's processed and shipped my order extremely efficiently. Will definitely be doing business with both bionic products and Dick's again. January 16, 2014
Great for Crossfit Training A friend mentioned how much use they received from their gloves and suggested I give them a try. After 20 years of wasting money on workout gloves, I've finally found the best overall glove for the gym. They way that they are manufactured relieves the thoughts If dropping heavy weight, because the full finger technology gives you overall traction when it comes to lifting any type of weight. Although, I wish these gloves were a bit cheaper, they are hands down the best gloves on the market for any level of fitness. September 10, 2013
Great working out gloves the only thing i gave this gloves a 4 star is because, they couldve put wrist support and better quality for the price. I suggest to buy a separate wrist support for heavy weight lifting. August 19, 2013
The Best! These are simply the best gloves on the market!! Hands Down! Like working with your hands!!! July 14, 2013
Bionic gloves a must for Tough Mudders I used the gloves int he Mansfield Tough Mudder. Worked great for the obstacles and mud slinging. I have delicate hands so they were a must. Threw them in the washer and like brand new. Make sure when you wash them though that you close the Velcro or they will stick you your other items. May 7, 2013
I recommend I totally recommend. Best weight lifting gloves I've had. April 20, 2013

Dollars and Sense: Teaching Kids about Money
Practical ideas for helping kids become financially literate
by Florinda Pendley Vasquez | 5100 views | 2 comments | Rate this now!Follow @Work_It_Mom
Teaching our kids about money can be intimidating if we're not comfortable with our own skills, or haven't managed our own finances in the best way. Kids do pick up on inconsistency, and will notice if you're not doing the things that you want them to learn. The wish to have our kids learn to handle money wisely, including when they should -- and shouldn't -- borrow it to purchase things, may be good motivation to improve our own money-management practices.
As parents, it's particularly important to practice what we preach. Money is one of the tools that makes the world go 'round, like it or not, and kids need to learn how to use that tool responsibly. Those lessons really should begin at home.

'Viewable Ads' and Brand Dollars: We've Seen This Movie Before
"Data Driven Thinking" is written by members of the media community and contains fresh ideas on the digital revolution in media.
Today's column is written by Tom Shields, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Yieldex, an analytics tools provider for sell-side, yield optimization.
Ever since my March column addressing viewable impressions, I've been tagged as "that anti-viewable impressions guy." This misses the point. I'm not against viewable impressions. That's like being against vegetables - they're probably good for you. What I am against is the idea that if we can just move the standard to viewable impressions, we'll unlock the flood of brand advertising dollars that are too afraid to move to online. Thing is, we've seen this movie at least twice before.
Here's what I mean:
Back in the mid to late '90s, some advertisers started to realize that many impressions and clicks were being created by robots and spiders deployed by huge companies like Excite, Infoseek and Lycos. Industry experts predicted that if we could just make sure every impression was seen by a human, we'd get those brand dollars. Publishers worried that their impression counts and revenues would drop precipitously. With time and effort the industry adopted some standards that mostly solved the problem, but it didn't unleash the flood of ad dollars.
Then in the early 2000's, third-party ad servers really started to take off, and discrepancies began to arise. Advertisers started to insist on paying according to their numbers, not the publisher's counts. Again, industry experts predicted that using advertiser numbers would unleash brand dollars. Again, publishers agonized over losing impressions and revenue. Now, the majority of premium ad buys are paid on third-party ad server numbers, and the money flood hasn't materialized.
Here we are again. Everyone knows measuring viewability -- despite its obvious flaws -- is better than just measuring delivery. Industry groups are pushing for it, because it wins elections as a small but marketable success. Publishers are dragging their feet because of the cost to deploy, and potential impact on revenue. Digital agencies see it as a bright shiny object they can use to prove they "get" digital to their clients. For companies in the space, it's essential to support it – allowing clients to forecast viewability. But in the end, it won't solve the real problems of brand advertisers online, so it's more of a distraction than a panacea.
As I stated before, the real challenges we need to solve are laid out in the other four principles of Making Measurement Make Sense: rationalizing measurement across media, understanding online's contribution to brand building, and generally making it easier to spend big budgets online and get ROI that makes sense. Let's focus our efforts on these challenges, so we can grow the market to $200 billion for everyone.

Thanks, Tom.
As always, a clear headed and reasonable reply to an industry issue. I've not heard viewable impressions put forward as the key to unlocking brand spend yet. The main problem I've heard it being heralded as solving is the ever decreasing CPMs in display. While it is true that CPMs are racing to the bottom due to logarithmic increases in supply paired with linear growth in spend, and creating some scarcity and increased value by only billing for ads that are seen could drive CPMs up, I remain unconvinced that advertisers and agencies would be willing to pay enough more to offset the decrease in total inventory. The issue here is that the initiative could cause a huge short term dip in total online revenue.
An individual publisher that goes live with a viewable impressions offer could see their inventory drop 40% but not be able to command the corresponding 66% uplift in CPM in the market place. This could have a serious impact on their bottom line. We've not seen a willingness from the buy side to adjust rates when we've made these changes in the past -- it's always the publisher that suffers in the end.
There is also the question of who measures and reports these numbers. I'm sure companies like ComScore and Maxifier, among others, would love to be the arbiter of viewable impressions. However, the pandora's box of discrepancies would really be opened with these new metrics. If an ad requires:
- that it has come into view
- for 1 second
- and was viewed by a human (not a bot)
there is the potential for a litany of discrepancies ranging from the robot blacklist itself, to the system that registers viewability.
While I am all in favour of driving more value for advertisers, creating scarcity, and accelerating the growth of digital, I'm unsure if this is the BEST way to do it. The skeptic in me thinks that the initiative is being driven by those that want to own the metric, rather than those with the industry's best interests in mind.
Hi Tom
To be honest its the first time I've heard viewable impressions being a major block to brand spend in display. If the whole market moved to viewable impressions it probably wouldnt have much affect on overall spend levels or publisher revenues but it would be a major step to truly understand the value of display. Attribution models will be always be distorted if you are including impressions that are never seen.
Hi Tom.
The $200bn amount gets banded about a lot within the industry, but have we actually sat down and thought which advertisers it comes from (as in, there are 75% of global marketing spend) and how we get them to spend online? Particularly where the advertiser makes most of it's revenue through offline stores/products?
I agree in that the viewable impressions isn't the 'be all and end all', but it's a step in the right direction for marketers to understand the role of display (and therefore invest more into it on top of paid search/affiliates).
Very well written article - thank you for sharing.
Good commentary, Tom. Frankly, on the fence on this topic. I can't blame the industry - or certain participants - from seeking a more 'pure' advertising environment. Historically, magazines, outdoor media, and television have sold their advertising on total circulation, total automobiles passing, and total Nielsen audience, respectively - with no attempt to really define the counts truly seeing each ad. Digital may have the tools to do it, but one could argue the sheer budgets large brand advertisers pay for television would be motivating some of them to at least ask: "Is there a way to measure how many people DVR your show and skip through our ads?" As much as I enjoy the quant side of our space, I firmly believe the big dollars of TV won't flow until digital can re-create the same level of content, captive watching, and time to present high-quality, engaging 30-second advertising shown to drive consumer attitudes. Digital offers some of that, but today's ADD culture may not have the time or attention for that.
As an industry, we keep shooting our toes off by driving continually more stringent impression definitions. Our current impression standards are stricter than those used by any other media in the history of media. None of this has led to significant adoption by offline brand spenders - and every time that we reduce supply with these new standards - we make *managing* media buying and selling more expensive. When we already cost the clients 10-15x as much in media management cost than traditional, and similarly as much to the publisher to manage selling of online media (compared to traditional) with almost a 100% revenue drop between traditional and digital.
Premium Ad Inventory is in short supply, while poor quality ad inventory is (according to some) of infinite supply. Moving to viewable impressions will only reduce the amount of premium inventory further - and move to a model where once again, Online sets itself to a higher standard than traditional media "just because we can". While for the second decade the industry refuses to standardize GRP and TRP buying and selling - which could actually have an impact on Brand Advertiser Adoption.
To me, there are MUCH bigger battles to fight than viewable impressions. But fine - let's reduce the amount of premium display inventory once more, and see what happens. If we don't broadly adopt more automated buying and selling mechanisms, this industry isn't going to see brand adoption - just because of the cost of managing the buying of our media.
I'm kind of surprised that DoubleClick hasn't just rolled viewable impressions out on DFP and DFA, and that competing platforms don't do the same. It isn't hard, and has been done by various systems for many years. Just not as a standard feature. I can't imagine we're far away from that happening.
@Matt O'Neill "The skeptic in me thinks that the initiative is being driven by those that want to own the metric, rather than those with the industry's best interests in mind." Agreed!
@James Coulson: "Attribution models will be always be distorted if you are including impressions that are never seen." Yes, but if you are linking attribution back to impressions, then the ones that aren't seen will naturally fall away in the optimization process. So why bother with the intermediate step?
@Eric Picard: DoubleClick has already announced viewable impressions in Q1 2013, so it's coming. And agree that there are MUCH bigger battles to fight - my point exactly!
@Wayne Blodwell, @John Shomaker: Great comments - thanks!
@James Coulson: "Attribution models will be always be distorted if you are including impressions that are never seen." - Well, James, not if you have a good one.
Tom's response is absolutely correct: "Yes, but if you are linking attribution back to impressions, then the ones that aren't seen will naturally fall away in the optimization process."
And just because an ad was in view for a second, a minute, or ten minutes doesn't mean it deserves any credit either...good attribution systems determine impactful conversions.

Lesson of the day
See the red line on the right side? That's the finish line for the men's biathlon 15km mass start. Emil Hegle Svendsen is the one standing and celebrating while becoming a friendly reminder to always stride the last stride. He won gold, but barely by a toe (the first boot to touch that line wins.) France's Martin Fourcade gave all he had, lunging one final time before crumpling to the ice — his arms and legs seeming to give out completely — spent.

In an effort to thoughtfully tackle a heated topic involving the current economic climate of the United States, the Pepperdine Law Review teamed with Tax Analysts to host "Tax Advice for the Second Obama Administration." The January event welcomed a standing room only crowd to the Malibu campus.
Coinciding with inauguration weekend, the symposium featured four panel discussions and more than 25 prominent and well-known scholars and practitioners who tackled the topic of how the tax code may change during the next four years. The symposium also featured a keynote address by Columbia Law School's Michael Graetz and a luncheon address by David Cay Johnston, an investigative journalist and author and winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize.
Professor Paul Caron, faculty advisor to the symposium, said of the event, "All of the participants in the Pepperdine/Tax Analysts symposium agreed on one important point: tax policy making is broken in Washington, D.C. and our critical economic and budgetary problems demand that President Obama work with Congress to produce the fundamental tax reform that the country desperately needs."
"The Pepperdine Law Review was absolutely thrilled by the enormous turnout," said symposium editor, Michael Wood. "We were so honored to bring together the brightest minds in tax law." Wood noted that all of the written contributions will be published in issue 5 of Volume 40 of the Pepperdine Law Review.
A live webcast of the event can be viewed here.
Professor Caron's blog post about the event can be found here.
Pepperdine Law Review

In its 40 years of existence, the Pepperdine Law Review has been a resource for practitioners, law professors, and judges alike and has been cited several times by the Supreme Court. Written contributions to the symposium will be published in Issue 5 of Volume 40.

Box 7-3
Elements of the Reporting Template: Using the L.E.A.D. Framework to Inform Decisions
As described in Chapter 1, there are a wide variety of decision scenarios related to obesity prevention policies and programs. A decision maker may be faced with a decision about a specific, populationwide policy change with a potential direct impact on physical activity or other weight-related behavior of adults or children. For example, a school board member may ask staff to assist in deciding whether to vote for a measure to send parents reports of their children's BMI levels based on annual weight and height screening. Or a decision maker may need to undertake or retain a specific program aimed at increasing access to food or physical activity options in a community. Or the director of a youth service organization may ask staff to help select a family-oriented nutrition and fitness program for nationwide implementation. Finally, a decision maker may need to select one of a set of potential interventions that would decrease obesity-promoting environmental influences; for instance, an employer may ask staff to help determine which wellness services should be included in the employee benefit package next year.
Identifying the question posed by the decision maker is the essential first step in producing the evidence report. This question informs what approach is taken to selecting, implementing, and evaluating interventions; why an intervention is needed; what should be done; how the intervention can work in the given context; and how changes in well-established policies and practices can be justified.

WASHINGTON, July 22, 1999 - In response to Governor George W. Bush's policy announcement today, in which he promised that he would, in his first year in office, dedicate eight billion dollars to government funding of religious social service organizations, Mark J. Pelavin, Associate Director of the Religious Action Center, released the following statement:
Again, today, we saw a prominent presidential candidate speak in favor of "charitable choice." Governor Bush spoke today, as he has spoken before, of the "armies of compassion" he sees transforming their religious convictions into action with government assistance. While we certainly share his view that religious social service providers can and do help those in need, we are wary of mobilizing armies — even those of compassion — to lay siege to the wall of separation between church and state.
This is not an issue of partisanship, but one of clear constitutionality. The proposals that Governor Bush made today — similar to proposals made in May by Vice President Gore — unacceptably chip away at the wall of separation between church and state mandated by America's fundamental document. That wall of separation, ingeniously conceived by our nation's founders, has allowed religion to flourish in America as it has no where else. While government funding of religious social service providers, or "charitable choice," may appear to benefit religious organizations, the erosion of our constitutional safeguards is dangerous for everyone involved, including those religious organizations funded.
The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is the Washington office of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, representing 1.5 million Reform Jews and 1,800 Reform rabbis in 875 congregations throughout North America.

The Low Investment Mound Aces (LIMA) Plan is a way for you to target high skills pitchers without paying high skills prices, thereby allowing you to spend more of your money on hitters without diluting the quality of your starting rotation.
Our latest iteration of the LIMA model suggests that we should target pitchers who are projected to meet the following thresholds:

The annual event is hosted by Friends of Youth Services, a volunteer women's auxiliary group that assists Youth Services through financial support.

What is a General Surgeon?
A certification by the Board of Surgery. Practitioners manage a wide range of surgical conditions affecting almost any area of the body. Surgeons provide the diagnosis and the care to patients before, during, and after surgery. They are usually responsible for the comprehensive management of trauma victims and the critically ill. Surgeons have special knowledge and skills in birth defects, tumors, infections, and metabolic problems relating to the head and neck, breast, abdomen, extremities including the hand, and the gastrointestinal, vascular, and endocrine systems. General surgeons are expected to be familiar with the most relevant features of other surgical specialties in order to recognize problems in those areas and to know when to refer a patient to another specialist.

"The cookies turned out great. I used butterscotch chips instead and they were still great. I had to use my mortar to grind the salt more finely so I can make sure it doesn't get clumpy in the dough. No saltiness in the cookie! Also, if you want a chewy cookie, take them out before they brown too much. They get much harder after they cool so t""

2003 Chrysler Sebring LX Coupe Review
I like this car because I own it outright.
A Great Car — My Sebring is a great car have had no problems with it yet. It has good acceleration. Is sporty looking. Also handles like a dream. Gas mileage is absolutely fabulous and is easy for the love of my life to drive and get in and out of.
Primary Use: Family transportation

lovely, responsive, very user friendly instrument panel, and easy maintenance
A little too low
Love My Freeway Cruiser! — Would prefer it sat about 2" higher off the ground so that there is no issue with entering or leaving certain driveways. It would also keep the tailpipe from scraping when leaving a steep driveway. Making the turning radius have a better range would be invaluable! Very good on gas mileage, pretty responsive, and easy on the eyes!
Primary Use: Commuting to work

2003 Chrysler Sebring LX Convertible Review
Love the feel of the wind in what's left of my hair with the top down.
The rear speakers have some major sound issues at least on my car
Love My Sebring Convertible — I like how easy the convertible top works and is quiet when opening and closing it. I like how the car handles and it has great exceliration off the start. It get fairly good mileage, about 21 around town about 30 on the highway. I don't like how the rear speakers sound as the bass makes them rattle.

2003 Chrysler Sebring LXi Convertible Review
Convertible, good mpg, looks.
Lacks power and performance.
Alright For A Four Seater Convertible, But Not For The Driving Enthusiast. — The car is alright and its great if you just want a convertable for four people, similar to a Toyota Solara. The car is not very performance oriented. The car has decent low end acceleration, but seams to lack the horsepower to continue up to the 60 mph mark, giving it a bad time. Quality of the car is average, leather seats are an upgrade for the interior, however the rest of the dash is plastic with synthetic wood trim. Gas milage is fairly good, about 26 mpg. The car is fun to drive but strickly on the basis of it convertible nature. The suspension lacks the finess of a finer car such as a BMW 330ci convertible. But over all it is an inexpensive convertable.

no reason to avoid it
Love It, Only If It Had More Juice In It. — i love the convertible, the sound system, the seats. it's tight and comfortable. everything is at hand and easy to manuver. not enough power, the roof can leak in a very heavy rain and the trunk is heavy to open.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Looks, performance, $$
vague tight corner steering, seems to use more fuel than it should
I Love My Sebring — All around soid car. I personally love the way it looks - the spoiler too. Good power (200 hp from a 2.7L 24v 6cyl) great factory stereo, comfy ride. Reliability-wise this car has been very good to me. Only repairs outside maintainence are fan was replaced at 60,000kms and ignition lock was replaced - apparently Chrysler has some issues with the tumblers wearing out. Other than that, no complaints.

Fun to drive with the roof down
Poor build quality.
Fun To Drive In South Florida For A Little While — Fun to drive until we had an accident and we realice how weak the car was... But before the accident great car. Good size convertible, you can fit 2 or even 3 on the back seat quite comfortable.

2003 Chrysler Sebring Limited Convertible Review
heated seats. Leather. high-quality cloth roof - not vinyl. Pretty blue gauges. Six-changer CD is nice - a whole day's cruising music. The roof raises and lowers in about 7 seconds and is easy to release/attach. No leaks so far!
Autostick is nothing special. Getting in and out of the rear seats is awkward, and the mechanism for sliding the seat forward is not that intuitive. Battery is a real bugger to get at, it is in the wheel well! My cats like to sit on the roof, its like a kitty hammock. Hard to train them not to do it.
Great Fun In The Sun With The Top Down — I've had this car for about two years now, and have gone on some long vacation drives... no major problems, but it is a sporty car, not a sports car - power is adequate but not awesome. The clips that hold the sun visors in place break really easily. The chrome on aluminum wheels look great but they flake really badly on the inside and eventually will look bad outside too. The car is very comfortable on long drives and the heated seats are a must in any convertible. Driving in temperatures below 12 C with the top down can be done, but you'll need gloves and a warm jacket. Controls are well laid out and logical, but the "autostick" function is eye-candy - I just leave the thing in "D" most of the time - autostick is nothing like driving a manual-shift car. The transmission is an automatic plain and simple.

NEW ORLEANS - Vice President Joe Biden on Friday openly accused conservative actor Clint Eastwood of "ripping off" what he called his "entire act" with his bizarre speech during the final night of the Republican National Convention in Tampa. The vice president observed that Eastwood's choice to address an empty chair as "President Obama" is the same thing he himself had been doing in front of audiences for months.
NEW ORLEANS, LA - Despite the onslaught of bad press in the wake of Romney campaign adviser Eric Ferhnstrom's unfortunate 'Etch A Sketch' remark, gaffe-prone presidential candidate Mitt Romney (R-MA) is delighting in the fact that the poor choice of words came from someone other than himself. Speaking to a crowd of supporters on Bourbon Street on Friday, Romney spoke at length about how elated he was to not be the source of another embarrassing sound bite.
"See, I'm not the only one on my staff capable of saying unfortunate things, y'all," said Romney. "It's just such a relief to not be guy who said the inexplicably stupid thing, for once."

Before reinventing himself with the bare-knuckle drama of 2005's A History of Violence, David Cronenberg was best known for creating brain-searing cinematic images of exploding heads, violent parasites, and videogames made of flesh. Now the director returns with another naturalistic film, a look at some truly scary Russian mobsters living in London. Has the creator of classic creepfests like Dead Ringers and The Fly officially left his old ways behind? ''All of my movies have dealt with crime in the sense of transgression,'' Cronenberg says. ''In the last two, it's been more traditional. But creatively, there's a real continuity amongst the films.'' So, not even one more man-fly creature? For old time's sake? ''You get bored with yourself,'' he says. ''I think it's good to get out of your own rut.''
Cronenberg's search for fresh material led him to a script by Oscar nominee Steven Knight (Dirty Pretty Things), in which a half-Russian midwife (Naomi Watts) becomes entangled with one of the Russian Mob's most infamous crime families. Viggo Mortensen costars as a steel-eyed gangster; his performance and one indescribably intense scene in particular is sure to be among the most talked-about this year.
Despite the film's ''normal'' subject matter, Vincent Cassel, who plays the scion of the Mafia clan, says the director still put his unique stamp on the material. ''You have forbidden things in the movie, but it's more about what you think you're seeing than what you really saw,'' he says. ''In that sense, it's a very David Cronenberg movie.''
