Cuddy is faced with a difficult decision that could jeopardize the future of the hospital. In "5 to 9," a Cuddy-centric episode, viewers get a glimpse of a day in life of Princeton-Plainsboro's Dean of Medicine. In addition to dealing with House, Cuddy must make a very important decision regarding a new insurance contract that could jeopardize the fate of the entire hospital. Plus, a thieving pharmacy tech makes her already crazed day even worse.
It's 5 a.m., and Cuddy's alarm clock goes off. She rises, does some yoga poses and rushes over to tend to her screaming baby. She tries to shower and get ready while dealing with her sick daughter, and the single mom winds up running late in the process. Just as Lucas enters from an overnight stakeout, he tries to convince Cuddy to have a quick romp in the sack since she's already late. She gives in to his advances, and just as they're about to get down to business, Cuddy gets an emergency page from House that she ignores. Unfortunately for Cuddy, Lucas lasts all of two minutes and now she's late for work "and frustrated." Ha.
Cuddy arrives at the hospital and is getting pulled in every direction. House gets on her case bright and early, and he reveals that he was assisting Lucas on his stakeout last night to help diagnosis someone. During the stakeout, the two made some childish bets — including one that questions whether Cuddy would answer an emergency page from House during morning sex. But Cuddy has much more important things to deal with today.
Her main concern is to negotiate a new contract with a giant insurance company that covers the bulk of the hospital's patients. Cuddy is pushing for a 12 percent reimbursement contract, and the money-hungry insurance company refuses to grant more than 4 percent because they're a small hospital and have no leverage to make those demands — even if they are one of the best hospitals in the country. Being the tough cookie that she is, Cuddy tells the insurance exec if they don't come back with 12 percent by 3 p.m., she will terminate the contract. Ballsy move, but is she bluffing?
Meanwhile, Cuddy has to deal with a pharmacy tech named Gale who has been stealing ephedrine from the hospital. When Cuddy confronts her, Gale gives her a sob story about how she's been taking the ephedrine in order to lose weight because her husband will no longer look at her. Cuddy feels some sympathy for her and says she won't report her theft, but has to fire her. But when audits of the pharmaceutical orders come in, Cuddy learns she's stolen over $50,000 of drugs over several years. Looks like somebody's supplying a meth lab! Cuddy calls her back to her office, but Gale's tune has certainly changed. Cuddy says she's aware of what's been going on, to which Gale vindictively replies that she'll make up a lie that House made her steal drugs for him and that Cuddy was covering it up because she's sleeping with him. Cuddy asks her if she really thinks she can lie her way out of this. "Yeah, I do. Anything else you want to know... bitch?" she asks. Wow, she's a feisty one!
On top of all this, Cuddy has to deal with House's obsession with trying to treat a sick patient by using malaria (another bet), a lawsuit against the hospital concerning the time that Chase chose to reattach a man's thumb rather than toss it out and a fistfight between Chase and another surgeon.
As time is ticking away, Cuddy worries the insurance company won't budge and she'll be forced to make a termination announcement to the hospital. Lucas helps her track down the CEO of the insurance company, and she barges in on the head honcho during his lunch at a nearby restaurant. She presents her case and reiterates her ultimatum. He basically says go for it because at the end of the day, he'll still be rich. But her words must have resonated with the CEO because the exec calls her shortly thereafter to say that they will offer 8 percent. Cuddy says that's not good enough: 12 percent or nothing. The exec says she's nuts to turn down this offer, and let's just say the board isn't too keen on the fact that Cuddy is playing poker with their futures.
Cuddy is at her wit's end and seeks advice from House about holding out for the 12 percent. He tells her it's not wise, but when she says he'd do the same thing in her position, House replies, "Do you really want to be like me?" Valid point. House later finds her sitting in her car in the parking garage. She confides in him more about her decision with the insurance contract and her thieving pharmaceutical tech. In his own way, House consoles Cuddy, and it's enough to get her back into the hospital to face the music.
Drug-dealing Gale is called back to Cuddy's office yet again, and this time Cuddy tries the sympathetic approach, but she doesn't make much progress. Instead, Gale admits she's been stealing since she started working there and says, "If I'm going down, you're going down." Gale leaves, but lo and behold, Cuddy had the whole conversation taped on a recorder disguised as a flower. Guess having a P.I. boyfriend has rubbed off on her.
Feeling good that she finally came out on top with something during her horrendous day, Cuddy mentally prepares to file her resignation now that she lost the insurance contract. But just as she misses the elevator, the insurance executive stops her in the hall to hand her the new contract. Cuddy got her 12 percent. She literally screams for joy and later announces the good news to the hospital staff. Everyone applauds her great negotiating skills, and even House cracks a smile at the sight of her glowing with happiness.
What did you think of the Cuddy-centric episode? Were you happy to get another perspective? What did you think of the House-Cuddy moment in the car?

TowerCo LLC, the telecommunications company backed by Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen's investment firm, set a lower interest rate on its $397 million term loan, according to a person with knowledge of the transaction.
The debt due 2017 will pay 3.5 percentage points more than the London interbank offered rate, said the person, who declined to be identified because the terms are private. Libor, a rate banks say they can borrow in dollars from each other, will have a 1 percent floor.
Morgan Stanley is arranging the loan for the Cary, North Carolina-based company and lenders must submit commitments by March 20, the person said.
The loan was originally priced February 2011 at 3.75 percentage points more than Libor, with a 1.5 percent floor, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The debt was sold to investors at 99.5 cents on the dollar.
Lenders on the repricing will be offered one-year call protection of 101 cents, the person said, meaning the company would have to pay 1 cent more than face value to refinance the debt during its first year.
TowerCo was founded in 2004 by its Chief Executive Officer Richard Byrne and Chief Operating Officer Scot Lloyd, with backing from New York-based private-equity firm Tailwind Capital Group LLC, according to the tower operator's website.
Soros Strategic Partners LP, controlled by billionaire investor George Soros, became an investor in the company in December 2005. In September 2008, TowerCo received equity investments from Vulcan Capital, the Seattle firm formed by Allen, and New York private-equity firm Altpoint Capital Partners, according to the website.
Dan Hunt, chief financial officer of TowerCo, declined to comment.
In a revolving credit facility, money can be borrowed again once it's repaid; in a term loan it can't.

Is Tommy Longaberger Nuts?
Tommy Longaberger is one such case. Recently, his claim of being assaulted by a homeless man was turned to mince meat - the homeless man was quickly found not guilty at trial by jury. Most homeless people, though, are not so inclined to fight such charges This only exasperates the plight of all homeless, and encourages crazy people to keep up the harassment of the homeless.
While the case was ongoing, Tommy Longaberger even created a web page, trying to "try" the case in the public webosphere. I didn't learn about this page until the Nashville Scene article ran recently. It is mentioned in a previous post here.
Well, you can find it the following links. Please click on them and read the hysterical-ness of Mr Longaberger, and his exaggerated claims. Notice the particular claim that Steve Reiter had "fire coming from his eyes" just before he supposedly attacked Mr Longaberger. This is the kind of crap homeless people have to deal with on a daily basis. It only makes life for the homeless more difficult. it makes getting out of homelessness almost impossible. Why in the world was he writing all those long letters? And why did he make them public? (Me thinks he doth protest too much!) In at least one of the letters, Mr Longaberger, a lawyer calls me a felon. A Felon? No, I am no felon. In another, he says I have TWO stalking convictions. That is also a lie. Isn't that defamation of character? Should I sue him for it?

Not right away. First, you file criminal libel charges against him. Now if you've ever been charged with stalking, he could argue that his words were misconstrued or poorly chosen. (IANAL) But if you don't have an arrest record at all, you could probably get him in hot water at least — and perhaps get him disbarred and/or jailed at most. But after you get a libel conviction, then you take him to the cleaners for defamation. :-)
i read the article in the Nashville Scene. I questioned the sanity of Longaberger from the beginning but when he made some bizarre statement comparing the Homeless Power Project to Al Queda I was convinced he was off his rocker. I am beyond disturbed that "so called leaders" in Nashville have this mindset.ReplyDelete

Unlike many, we haven't been losing sleep over Leno leaving The Tonight Show. Partly because we're in bed by that time. Mostly though, despite Jay's well-known obsession with automobiles, the Tonight Show was essentially car-free, instead choosing to focus on Miley Cirus, American Idol and politics. Yawn. Leno's new show – called the Jay Leno Show – looks to address that serious oversight.
According to new reports, Leno's show will feature celebrities racing against each other in "advertiser friendly" challenges involving green cars. In fact, NBC has already built a racetrack next to Leno's studio. Says Jay, "You can see who is faster, Shaquille O'Neal or Cameron Diaz." We've always wondered.
As to what cars will be used in the segment, or what the races will look like, your wild speculation is as good as ours. And yes, Leno's green car challenge does seem kinda close to Top Gear's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car. But in the grand scheme of things, who cares, as car racing on network TV ought to be a good thing over the long term. That said, we'll admit that the very term "advertiser friendly" makes our skin crawl a bit. Thanks to Dali for the tip!

There are two ways you can register to be notified by Texas VINE:
- Call 1-877-894-8463 (1-877-TX4-VINE) or TTY: (866) 847-1298
- Visit the VINELink website at www.vinelink.com
The inmate must be booked into the county jail before a victim can register for this service. After dialing the VINE number, follow the instructions given by the system. VINE will ask for a telephone number and a 4-digit personal identification number (PIN) to be used for notification calls. The PIN is used to verify a successful notification.
Information is transferred from participating county databases to the national VINE Operations Center every fifteen minutes. Registered users are then contacted by phone or email if there is a change in status.
To search for information, callers will need to provide the system with one or more of the following:
- Offender Name
- Offender CID number
- Date of Birth
Information provided when calling VINE service:
- Name of Offender/Alias
- CID Number
- Date of Birth
- Current Custody Status
- Location of Offender
Notification calls begin as soon as the VINE Call Center receives updated records from the on-site computer. Notification calls to registered persons will be made when one or more of the following occur:
- General Release
- Out of Custody
- Escape
- Transfer to Another Facility
Calls will be made every 2 hours for 24 hours until the correct PIN is entered. Notifications messages will be left on an answering machine, but calls will continue for 24 hours until the correct PIN is entered.
Telephone numbers are removed from the VINE database 14 days after release or transfer of the offender from the county facility.
Texas Department of Criminal Justice NOTE:
Victim Services Division offers limited offender information through the Victim Information and Notification Everyday (VINE) system. The VINE toll free number for automated information is (877) 894-8463 and is available 24 hours day, 7 days a week. You must register with Victim Services to access the VINE system.

Toward a philosophy of the urban: Henri Lefebvre's uncomfortable application of Bergsonism
Benjamin Fraser
Received 18 June 2007; in revised form 26 October 2007
Abstract. Although Henri Lefebvre (1901 – 1991) publicly and consistently eschewed the philosophy of Henri Bergson (1859 – 1941), his writings in effect made great use of the latter's key ideas and method. Like Bergson's philosophy, Lefebvre's urban criticism denounced the spatialization of time and gave priority to lived experience over the abstractions employed by static intellectual or traditionally analytical models of experience. Throughout The Urban Revolution, The Production of Space, The Critique of Everyday Life, Volumes 1 – 3, and the writings posthumously collected in Rhythmanalysis, Lefebvre's urban philosophical project appropriated the ideas Bergson advanced in his three major works, Time and Free Will, Matter and Memory, and Creative Evolution, through their application to the problems of social life—a de facto collaboration that Bergson never lived to appreciate and that Lefebvre would never recognize. This connection is important not only as a corrective to the scant attention paid to Lefebvre's work by philosophers, but also because it reinforces both thinkers' own emphases on interdisciplinarity and on reconciling theories of knowledge with theories of life. The combined work of the two philosophers suggests a philosophical basis for the current emphasis of theory in both cultural studies and human geography in that it stresses the importance of acknowledging movement, process, and mobilities in approaches to the problems of urban life. The composite of Bergson – Lefebvre provides the basis for articulating a philosophy of the urban.

Haiti's Michael Brun Talks EDM Stardom and Label
By Jacob Katel
Like so many millennial music crews, the Midwest's illest rap duo, the Cool Kids, met on the Internet. And soon after hooking up via MySpace, Chuck Inglish and Sir Michael Rocks dropped two sick mixtapes (That's Stupid and Gone Fishing) and garnered mad indie-blog buzz to back it all up.
A couple of EPs and a number of guest spots later, Inglish and Sir Rocks finally released their debut full-length album, When Fish Ride Bicycles, earlier this year. Collaboratively produced by the Neptunes, Travis Barker, and the Cool Kids themselves, the record received critical praise for its fusion of old-school hip-hop and contemporary swag.
A good example of old-meets-new is Ghostface Killah's verse on "Penny Hardaway," a track about ballin' Penny Hardaway-style over a Wu-Tang-like beat: "They shootin' stars these ruthless bars/Got white girls holding their mouths like, 'Oh, my God! No, he didn't!'/Give him a bib, 'cause he keeps spitting lines that so cold where every word's frostbitten."

Miami, FL 33136

Region: Central Dade
Though it's technically the duo's first slab, Inglish and Sir Rocks have outdone themselves with When Fish Ride Bicycles and cemented their place as one of hip-hop's freshest crews. We'll just have to wait and see whether the Cool Kids' live set matches up.

On Thursday, Gov. Martin O'Malley announced that "House of Cards" — a Washington-set TV series starring Kevin Spacey — will be filmed in Baltimore this spring, making it the third political drama to be produced in Maryland in less than a year.

Baltimore, MD 21201, USA
Produced by director David Fincher, "Cards" will be the first original series from Netflix, one of Hollywood's distribution giants with 20 million subscribers. The remake of the acclaimed British series joins HBO's "VEEP" series, with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and "Game Change" a made-for-TV movie starring Julianne Moore and Ed Harris. The two HBO productions are set to premiere this spring.
Since the start of production on NBC's "Homicide: Life on the Streets" in 1992 through the end of filming on HBO's "The Wire" in 2007, Baltimore has been home to TV series that came to typify what's been characterized as "gritty urban drama." And there certainly is no shortage of locations and neighborhoods that lend themselves to that depiction of the city.
But the current trio of TV productions have Baltimore serving as stand-in for Washington —with greater economic benefits for Maryland workers and small businesses.
And while the city has played that role before in several one-shot feature films such as "Enemy of the State," doing it in a continuing TV series is another matter altogether — providing employment and infusions of Hollywood money to the local economy for months and years, instead of weeks.
Producers and Hollywood executives say the attributes that make Baltimore most attractive as a stand-in for Washington are the architectural similarities, easier logistics and lower costs. And by basing your operation in Maryland, you can have Washington itself and its iconic sights, they say, in controlled one- and two-day bites without having to pay Washington prices.
"What happens is you end up shooting some establishing shots of Washington," said John Melfi, the executive producer of the Netflix series. "But you also need the way that Baltimore ties in so well with Washington in pieces, in terms of its architecture and its looks. The textures of Baltimore and Maryland will give us a lot of credibility."
But it took more than proximity, architectural synergy and lower costs, according to those involved in the negotiations. It took political muscle, hustle and money — things usually associated more closely with Washington than Baltimore.
Maryland's Film Office has been targeting Washington productions for years, Gerbes said.
"Any time we would get wind of a D.C.-based show, we're right on the phone with them, saying, 'Have you ever considered Maryland?'" Gerbes said.
Maryland went head-to-head with Washington on the Netflix project, according to Leslie Green, a spokeswoman for the D.C. Office of Motion Picture and Television Development. Green confirmed that her office had been in negotiations with the producers to bring "House of Cards" to Washington.
But their effort failed because they could not offer the kind of incentives Maryland could, she said Thursday. The filmmakers will be shooting only seven to nine days in Washington.
"We did not get as many days as we had hoped for because of that incentive program. It's basically a money game," she said, explaining that her office has "not been able to get re-funded" this year at the $4 million level it previously enjoyed.
Incentives from the state played an important role in bringing all three productions to Maryland, according to Debbie Donaldson Dorsey, director of the Baltimore Film Office and secretary of the Maryland Film Industry Coalition.
"The film industry is returning to Baltimore thanks to the Maryland Film Production Employment Act," Dorsey said.
The film production act, which was passed in the last legislative session and signed into law by O'Malley in May, provides tax credits of 25 percent for film and 27 percent for TV series on certain in-state expenditures by production companies. Hollywood trade publications have pegged "House of Cards" as a $100 million production.
TV and film production in Maryland disappeared with the end of HBO's "The Wire," and many of the skilled production workers in the area had to go on location to other states to find work in recent years — until the arrival of "VEEP" and "Game Change," which not only put local actors and production workers back to work, but provided contracts for small area businesses that provided everything from scenery to set decorations and food to the visiting filmmakers.

On November 2, 2011, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") issued the final rule establishing Accountable Care Organizations ("ACOs") under the Medicare Shared Savings Program ("Final Rule").
This alert highlights the differences between the Final Rule and the proposed rule ("Proposed Rule") released in April 2011, and includes an analysis of complementary rules and statements issued by other federal enforcement agencies.
CMS intends the Final Rule to address the concerns expressed in the more than 1,300 public comments it received in response to the Proposed Rule. Among other things, in the Final Rule, CMS (1) changed the beneficiary assignment methodology; (2) reduced the number of quality measures providers are required to report and satisfy; (3) established a more flexible admissions process; (4) modified the risk and reward calculations to eliminate risk for some participants; (5) adjusted the measures for calculating shared savings; and (6) eliminated mandatory antitrust review.

Any F100 owners care to comment on what bars they ordered? I went ahead and got mine with the standard set. I think they may be horribly ugly, but I don't particularly care if they're comfy. They seem to have a nice flat area in the drop that looks appealing.
I was contemplating the HB1000 carbon wing/stem bars, but given that they lock you into a single stem with 0 rise, I decided to pass until I get a feel for the bike.

Time Stares Into the Abyss of Miami's Health Care Costs, Blames Retirees
Categories: News
|via Fidget's flickr
As a result of the deluge of doctors and hospitals that have flocked to the retiree mecca since the 1960s and '70s, chasing the lucrative Medicare business as well as the area's population boom, South Florida has "an excess capacity of health care providers and institutions," Quick notes. And to make sure they all get a piece of the action, they've created a wasteful and ill-coordinated system of healthcare redundancies, from unnecessary MRIs to inpatient treatment that too often could have been cheaper outpatient treatment. Miami-Dade, for example, has one of the nation's highest hospital readmission rates -- and more MRI machines than Canada.
So, basically in order to cater to the elderly crowd, doctors and hospitals bought a bunch of fancy medical equipment (more MRI machines than all of Canada, fer chrissakes), and even if you don't really need the particular services of a certain machine they make you use it anyway, because hey it's there and they've got bills to pay. While we may have tons of futuristic medical machines, we do have a shortage of primary care doctors. The kind of doctors that form the first line of defense on the health front.
Another problem is Florida laws that don't require doctor's to carry malpractice insurance. One third of doctors in South Florida are uninsured so instead of providing efficient care, they make their patients go through and pay for tons of tests to make sure they don't get sued if something goes amiss.

Well, back to subject. After that dent in the pocket we headed to the mall to hit an ATM, the guys needed to pull money to pay me back. Well, i was only payed back $19.00 for some reason.
We entered wal-mart and went to the sporting section.
So many choices,most of which I would never choose.
My buddy recommended that I try scorch.
since I didn't have enough money for the paint I wanted (Evil), so, I toughed up and grabbed a case of one-thousand for $19.00.
After loading all my pods with the new paint, we commenced to play. I noticed from the first shot how accurate the balls flew and how many shots before there was even one break.Easy to see when leaving the barrel, thats what they were with their bright red shed,and when one broke,they were easily seen in dense woodland.Even easier to see whe one of the opposing team members tried to wipe,only got smeared around and created a larger pink area.
I will possibly only use this brand, it's good,shell breaks on contact,not in pods, A++
Try it, even just 500 rounds,youll be pleased.
i give it a 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [10]
Also, a side note: some paint I have shot, and have been shot by stink bad, another plus to this one is there is little to no smell.
~~~~~UPDATED REVIEW~~~~ March 18th
Okay, today I played in sub-arctic temperatures, about 10 degrees above zero.
It was cold indeed, but the balls stil fired perfect! They only chopped when I'd fire too fast for them to be fed.
Still broke on contact, and it still gets my 10!
~~~~~UPDATED REVIEW~~~~ May 12th
Here's the newest report on everyones favorite cheap paint.
I just played a game of quickdraw with my Core Zx pistol, infamous for chopping scorch amongst my friends.
The downlow is, I fired all 12 shots in less than thirty seconds, and didnt have a single chop, did that 10 times, and maybe only 3 broke the entire day of quickdraw.
Weather was around 58 degrees farenheit, 10% humidity i think.

7/13/2011 JimmTry the 'How-To-Guides' feature this website for specific steps on how to replace the cabin air filter. The filter is usually accessed through the plastic cover near the cowling on the passenger side - just ahead of the windshield. Raise the windshield wiper arms out of the way to access the plastic vent covers. The covers are usually held by screws or plastic push pins - remove these -along with the vent covers. The cabin air filter is usually located below the hood weather strip (black rubber piece) that can be carefully pulled back. The filter housing can be pulled up to access the cabin air filter. Be sure to clean the filter housing before placing the new filter in position. The installation is the reverse of the removal.

The columns of red and black numbers in the rankings of the Top 40 Container Lines by volume reflect the tenuous recovery from the deep downturn in trade that hit carriers so hard in 2009. The import and export volumes almost returned to pre-recession levels of 2008, but not quite.
The total volume of loaded containers moving into and out of the U.S. increased 11.6 percent last year over 2009, strong growth in most years but volume still was 2.2 percent lower than in 2008. Exports increased 8.2 percent, but lagged 2008 by 1 percent. Imports grew 14.2 percent, but were still 3 percent below 2008 levels.
Data: The JOC Top 40 Container Lines - Imports.
Data: The JOC Top 40 Container Lines - Exports.
The vast majority of carriers did better last year than in 2009, with most returning to the black. Carriers say they are emphasizing profitability over market share in the wake of the frenzied rate-cutting of 2009 that plunged most of them into the red. They say they no longer accept shipments of containers they can't carry at a profit.
Some carriers performed much better than others in 2010, showing significant growth in shares of the U.S. import or export markets, while others lost ground.
But beware. As Mark Twain said, there are "lies, damn lies and statistics." Remember this when you see that some of smaller carriers gained the most market share in percentage terms. They gained the most because they were growing off smaller bases. CSAV Group, for example, showed one of the biggest year-over-year increases in exports (up 44.3 percent) and imports (up 56.9 percent), but ranks 20th in total export volume and 19th in total import volume.
Maersk Line retained its No. 1 position among import carriers, with a 5.5 percent increase in inbound volume. By midyear, however, Mediterranean Shipping Co. overtook Maersk's long-held position as the top export carrier, and held on through the rest of 2010, with a 22.5 percent year-over-year jump. MSC has been taking delivery of large numbers of new ships and aggressively deployed more capacity on the U.S. trades.
APL moved into third place among import carriers, bumping Evergreen into fourth. Hapag-Lloyd moved up into sixth place from seventh in 2009, pushing CMA CGM, one of only two carriers in the top 20 to see volume decline, down a notch. Hyundai Merchant Marine jumped into the eighth slot from 10th in 2009, as its import volume increased 27.5 percent.
The biggest gainer among the top 10 import carriers was Cosco, with a 43.9 percent jump in import volume, moving the carrier into ninth place from 14th a year earlier.
Two start-up carriers joined the list of top U.S. import carriers last year. TCC, The Containership Co., began U.S. service with the arrival of its first vessel in Los Angeles on May 3, and its volumes the rest of the year were strong enough to rank it in 30th place. Hainan PO Shipping, the 34th-ranked import carrier, began U.S. service with its first vessel arriving in Long Beach on Sept. 3.
Even as MSC moved into the No. 1 slot among export carriers, others moved up the list.
APL bent every effort to accommodate export customers with contracted bookings in the face of tight capacity and a shortage of containers. It moved into fourth place, bumping Evergreen down a slot. CMA CGM, which, like MSC, has been adding capacity, jumped two slots into sixth place. Hyundai moved up a notch into eighth, bumping OOCL to ninth from sixth last year.
There were also some changes in Alphaliner's rankings of the largest container lines by fleet capacity (see rankings, page 37).
The top three carriers maintained their rank by capacity, but the No. 2 and 3 carriers are snapping at the heels of No. 1 Maersk, whose share of total fleet capacity slipped from 14.9 percent last March to 14.5 percent this month. No. 2 MSC, with its new ships coming on line, saw its share rise from 11.1 percent last year to 12.9 percent this year. CMA CGM, still No. 3, increased its share to 8.2 percent from 7.6 percent last year.
No. 4 Hapag-Lloyd jumped two ranks into that position as its capacity jumped 15.5 percent over the same period last year. Its rise pushed APL into sixth place from fourth last year. APL has been cautious about ordering new ships for the last decade, so it hasn't added any capacity. It plans to order new ships this year to replace its charter tonnage.

The legislature started its unraveling of Common Core on Tuesday with a proposed law that would have the state adopt new standards for math and language arts.
The bill offers no specific timetable for replacing the controversial standards, but one of its sponsors said he expects them to be gone in about a year. The change will come as the State Board of Education undertakes its regular review of standards next year, said Rep. Bryan Holloway, a Stokes Republican and bill sponsor.
Quick changes could put the state in jeopardy of having to return a $400 million federal Race to the Top grant, Holloway said. The bill sets up an independent commission in the Department of Administration to advise the State Board of Education on new standards.
"This bill does replace Common Core, but it does not rip the rug out from under us today," Holloway said.
The House Education Committee approved the measure 27-16. A Senate committee is set to debate its own Common Core repeal bill Wednesday.
Tea party conservatives around the country who consider Common Core an improper intrusion by the federal government into state education are pressuring legislatures to drop the standards.
Forty-five states and the District of Columbia adopted the standards that the National Governors Association and National Council of Chief State School Officers took the lead in developing. The standards are intended to prepare students for a post-high school life of college and work.
Since the backlash, states have started to back away from them, either by altering them or changing the name.
In an interview, state Superintendent of Public Instruction June Atkinson said "it would be virtually impossible" to have new standards developed and ready for implementation in a year, if history is a guide.
It takes two years to get input on a plan, then roll it out to schools, she said, including the time it takes to get recommendations from teachers and others and to revise drafts once they're developed.
The move against Common Core is at odds with some business arguments that the standards are critical to educating students who need to compete in a global economy. A group of businesses, business groups and education groups ran a full-page ad in The News & Observer on Tuesday supporting "hire standards." The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, local chambers of commerce, Red Hat, SAS and others signed on to support "core state standards."
Gov. Pat McCrory, a Common Core supporter, said the problem is not the standards but the testing that's become associated with them and the rocky implementation.
"I think the issue is not the high standards, which we have to have," McCrory said. "I think the issue is the implementation and execution, especially with regards to testing."
Under the House bill, the State Board of Education would adopt new standards as least as high as the current standard but would not be able to institute Common Core again.
Holloway said the state board could take pieces of Common Core but would be expected to dump most of it.
"We're giving them directions to replace it," he said.
Dissenters said the state board should be able to keep most or all of Common Core if it turns out to be the best alternative.
"If the highest standards are Common Core and they're going to be barred from using them, then that's a problem," said Rep. Rick Glazier, a Fayetteville Democrat. "I don't know if Common Core is going to be determined to be the highest standard. It may be. But we wouldn't be allowed to use it."
