Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) is similar in concept to surface electrical stimulation, such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), but differs in that, instead of electrodes applied to the skin, stimulation is delivered via needles that are inserted to a depth of 1-4 cm either around or immediately adjacent to the nerve serving the painful area. PENS is generally reserved for patients who fail to get pain relief from TENS, apparently due to obvious physical barriers to the conduction of the electrical stimulation (e.g., scar tissue, obesity).
PENS must be distinguished from electrical stimulation acupuncture. In electrical acupuncture, needles are also inserted just below the skin, but the placement of needles is based on specific theories regarding energy flow throughout the human body. Thus, in PENS the location of stimulation is determined by proximity to the pain rather than the theories of energy flow that guide placement of stimulation for acupuncture.
Peripheral implanted nerve stimulator (PINS) involves the surgical implantation of electrodes to stimulate a peripheral nerve for treatment of chronic pain. The process of implantation usually involves two phases – a temporary test, followed by implantation of the programmable generator and/or battery pack, if testing is successful.
Percutaneous neuromodulation therapy (PNT) is a variant of PENS in which up to ten fine filament electrodes are temporarily placed at specific anatomical landmarks in the back. Treatment regimens consist of 30-minute sessions, once or twice a week for 8-10 sessions.
Percutaneous Neuromodulation Therapy™ (Vertis Neurosciences) received approval to market by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through the 510(k) process in 2002. The labeled indication reads as follows: "Percutaneous neuromodulation therapy (PNT) is indicated for the symptomatic relief and management of chronic or intractable pain and/or as an adjunctive treatment in the management of post-surgical pain and post-trauma pain." The Deepwave Percutaneous Neuromodulation Pain Therapy System (Biowave) received 510(k) approval in 2006, listing the Vertis Neuromodulation system and a Biowave TENS unit as predicate devices. The Deepwave system includes a sterile single-use percutaneous electrode array that contains 1,014 microneedles in a 1.5-inch diameter area. The needles are 736 microns (0.736 millimeters) in length; the patch is reported to feel like sandpaper or Velcro.

Policy Guidelines
The correct CPT code to use for percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) and percutaneous neuromodulation therapy (PNT) is the unlisted CPT code 64999. CPT codes for percutaneous implantation of neurostimulator electrodes (i.e., 64553–64565) are not appropriate since PENS and PNT use percutaneously inserted needles and wires rather than percutaneously implanted electrodes. The stimulation devices used in PENS and PNT are not implanted, so CPT code 64590 is also not appropriate.
This policy was originally based on a 1996 Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) Technology Evaluation Center (TEC) Assessment of percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) for the treatment of chronic pain. (1) The objective of the 1996 Assessment was to determine if the effects of PENS exceed placebo effects. The following study selection criteria were used in the 1996 TEC Assessment:
No clinical studies of PENS were identified by the 1996 Assessment, thus no conclusions about effectiveness could be reached. Subsequently, the policy hsa been updated with literature searches covering the period between January 1996 and February 2004. The literature search revealed 8 randomized trials meeting the cited criteria. Of the 8, a total of 5 addressed use of PENS in treating chronic back pain. A single study focused on each of these conditions: chronic neck pain, (2) chronic diabetic neuropathy, (3) and chronic headache. (4) All were designed as randomized crossover studies in which sham PENS was compared with between 1 and 3 types of active PENS, in addition to alternative treatments such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) or exercise therapy. Patients would undertake 30-minute treatment sessions 3 times per week for 2 or 3 weeks. The order of treatments was random. On completing a treatment, a 1-week washout period would follow, then the patient would proceed to another treatment until all patients had received all treatments. Post-treatment outcome was assessed either immediately after completing the last session of a treatment or up to 3 days later. All 8 studies were conducted at one institution, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. The 2004 review showed that evidence was still inadequate to reach conclusions about the effectiveness of PENS for the treatment of chronic pain.
Since 2004, the literature for this policy has been periodically updated using the MEDLINE database. The most recent literature update was performed through June 4, 2013. Following are key studies to date.
Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
Chronic Low Back Pain
In 2008, Weiner and colleagues reported a trial with 200 older adults, which had been funded by the National Institutes of Health. (5) Subjects with chronic lower back pain were randomized to PENS or sham-control treatment, with or without physical conditioning/aerobic exercise, twice a week for 6 weeks. Thus, the 4 treatment groups were PENS alone, sham PENS alone, PENS plus physical conditioning, or sham PENS plus physical conditioning. The sham control condition consisted of 10 acupuncture needles in identical locations, depth, and duration (30 minutes) as the PENS needles, with brief (5-minute) stimulation at 2 additional needles. Primary and secondary outcome measures were collected at baseline, 1 week, and 6 months after treatment by a research associate who was unaware of the treatment. There were no significant adverse effects and also no differences between the PENS and sham PENS groups in any outcome measure at 1-week or 6-month follow-up. All 4 groups reported reduced pain of a similar level (improvement ranging from 2.3 to 4.1 on the McGill Pain Questionnaire), reduced disability (range of 2.1 to 3.0 on the Roland scale) and improved gait velocity (0.04 to 0.07 m/s) that was maintained for 6 months. Although the authors concluded that minimal electrical stimulation (5 minutes at 2 needles) is as effective as usual PENS (30 minutes of stimulation from 10 needles), the lack of benefit of this treatment over sham control does not provide support for use of PENS in patients with chronic low back pain.
Yokoyama et al. found patients randomized to PENS treatment twice per week for 8 weeks had significantly decreased pain levels, physical impairment, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use, which continued to be present 1 month after treatment completion compared to a second group that received PENS for 4 weeks followed by TENS for 4 weeks and a third group that received only TENS for 8 weeks. (6) While PENS treatment for 8 weeks seemed to demonstrate greater effectiveness in controlling pain for up to 1 month after treatment when compared to the other treatment groups, the beneficial effects were not found at the 2-month follow-up.
Ghoname et al. (7) compared sham PENS, active PENS, and TENS in 64 patients. Active PENS achieved better outcomes than sham PENS on visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores and daily oral analgesic requirement. Active PENS was better than sham PENS and TENS on physical activity, quality of sleep, and preference. Ghoname et al. (8) administered sham PENS, active PENS, TENS, and exercise therapy in 60 patients. Active PENS resulted in better outcomes than all other modalities in terms of VAS pain, analgesic requirements, physical activity, quality of sleep, and preference. Hamza et al. (9) varied the duration of active electrical stimulation at 3 levels (15, 30, and 45 minutes) and compared them with sham stimulation in 75 patients. These investigators confirmed that sham PENS had the least effect, and results were best when the stimulation lasted 30 or 45 minutes. Ghoname et al. (10) varied the frequency of the active electrical stimulus at 3 levels, also comparing it with sham stimulation, in 68 patients. One level involved active stimulation with alternating 15-Hz and 30-Hz frequencies, while the other active levels had frequencies of 4 Hz and 100 Hz. The alternating frequency technique had the best results, superior to sham PENS. White et al. (11) did not include sham PENS in a study of 72 patients. Rather, this study compared 4 montages, or patterns of needle placement. They found that a bottle-shaped pattern achieved the best results, compared with 3 other patterns. In addition, a 2003 study focused on chronic low back pain in community-dwelling older adults. (12) Patients were randomized to receive twice weekly PENS or sham PENS for 6 weeks. At 3-month follow-up, the treatment group reported a significant reduction in pain intensity and disability, while the control group did not.
Section Summary. The highest quality trial on PENS for chronic low back pain found no difference between the active (30 minutes from 10 needles) and sham PENS (5 minutes from 2 needles) at 1 week or 6 months after treatment. While other studies suggest that active PENS has effects that exceed placebo PENS in the short term, they did not address long-term improvement of pain and functional outcomes, the objective of treating chronic low back pain. It is also unclear whether these study designs included adequate blinding or whether patients withdrew from these studies.
Chronic Neck Pain
One study by White et al. (2) compared 2 locations of active stimulation with sham stimulation in 68 patients. Local stimulation involved needle insertion at the neck, while remote stimulation entailed needles placed in the lower back. The sham condition received needles with no electrical stimulation at the neck. Outcomes were assessed immediately after completion of a 3-week treatment period. The local placement of active needles resulted in better pain relief, physical activity, quality of sleep, and analgesic use than local sham treatment or remote active treatment. The authors stated that no side effects were observed at needle insertion sites. The study was described as investigator blinded, but no details were given about the method of blinding. Withdrawals were not noted, and no long-term outcome data were presented. This single study, in which blinding is of uncertain adequacy, does not permit conclusions about the effectiveness of PENS for treating chronic neck pain.
Diabetic Neuropathy
In a crossover study by Hamza et al., (3) 50 patients with diabetic neuropathic pain for at least 6 months were randomized to receive either sham PENS or active PENS first in a 7-week study. Outcome was assessed 1 day after completion of a 3-week treatment period. Active PENS resulted in better outcomes on VAS pain, activity, sleep, and analgesic use, compared with sham PENS. The authors describe the study as investigator-blinded, without providing details of how blinding was attempted. Thus, it is uncertain whether blinding was adequate. Withdrawals were not mentioned. Also, no long-term outcome data were presented, so long-term effects are unknown. This single study, which may not have been adequately blinded, does not allow conclusions about the effects of PENS for treating diabetic neuropathy.
Ahmed et al. conducted a crossover study in 30 patients with longstanding headaches of 3 types: tension, migraine, and post-traumatic injury. (4) Two-week courses of active and sham PENS were compared. Outcomes were assessed at the completion of each treatment. Active PENS achieved better outcomes than sham PENS in terms of VAS pain, physical activity, and quality of sleep. Results did not vary by headache type. The investigators stated that the study was single-blinded but gave no details about blinding methods or whether withdrawals occurred. The report offers no long-term outcome data. This study does not establish the effectiveness of PENS for treatment of chronic headache.
Chronic Surface Hyperalgesia
Raphael et al. reported a multicenter double-blinded randomized crossover trial of a single PENS treatment compared with a sham treatment in 30 patients with surface hyperalgesia due to a variety of chronic pain conditions. (13) The pain diagnoses included surgical scar pain, occipital neuralgia, post-traumatic neuropathic pain, stump pain, inflammatory neuropathic pain, chronic low back pain, complex regional pain syndrome, pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), chronic cervical pain, and post-herpetic neuralgia. The duration of pain ranged from 1 to 35 years, with a mean of 8.1 years. Subjective pain on a numerical scale and a pressure pain threshold were measured prior to and 1 week after the single treatment, with a washout period of 4 weeks between treatments. The median numerical rating scale improved from 7.5 to 0.5 after active PENS and did not change after sham treatment (7.5 pre, 7.5 post). The mean pain pressure threshold improved from 202 gm to 626 gm after active PENS and did not change significantly after sham treatment (202 gm pre, 206 gm post). Blinding was maintained after the first treatment, but not after the second due to the tingling sensation with active PENS. Analysis of the first treatment showed a significant difference in change of the numerical rating scale (3.9 vs. 0.1) and in the pain pressure threshold (310 gm vs. 8 gm) for the active compared to sham treatment. Longer term follow-up in a larger sample of patients is needed to evaluate the efficacy of this treatment approach to chronic hyperalgesia.
Percutaneous Neuromodulation Therapy
From its description, percutaneous neuromodulation therapy (PNT) appears to be a variant of PENS, varying in length and number of the needles. A literature search identified 1 abstract focusing on neuromodulation for chronic low back pain. (14) This study was an uncontrolled case series of 83 patients with low back pain. While pain improved at 5-week follow-up, the lack of a control group precludes scientific assessment.
A randomized controlled trial (RCT) from 8 U.S. sites was designed to compare Vertis neuromodulation therapy with TENS for chronic low back pain (available online at: www.clinicaltrials.gov: NCT00290238). The study began in 2005, with an estimated enrollment of 122 patients. A posting from May 2009 lists the study as terminated due to slow recruitment and high dropout rates.
Osteoarthritis of the Knee
In 2007, Kang et al. reported a single-blinded trial that included 70 patients with knee osteoarthritis randomized to stimulation (at the highest tolerable intensity) or placement of electrodes (without stimulation). (15) Patients in the sham group were informed that they would not perceive the normal "pins and needles" with this new device. Patients received one treatment and were followed up for 1 week. The neuromodulation group had 100% follow-up; 7 of 35 (20%) patients from the sham group dropped out. VAS pain scores improved immediately after active (from 5.4 to 3.2), but not sham (5.6 to 4.9) treatments. VAS scores (4.6 vs. 5.2, respectively) were not significantly different for the 2 groups at 48 hours after treatment. Changes in the Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) were significantly better for the category of stiffness (1-point change vs. 0-point change) but not for pain or function at 48 hours. Measures of patient satisfaction were significantly higher in the neuromodulation group (e.g., 77% vs.11% good to excellent, respectively) at up to 1-week follow-up. Interpretation is limited by the discrepancy between patient satisfaction ratings and 48-hour VAS pain scores and the differential loss to follow-up in the 2 groups. These results raise questions about the effectiveness of the blinding, the contribution of short-term pain relief and placebo effects, and the duration of the treatment effects.
Acute Postoperative Pain
A small, (n=23) single-blinded randomized controlled trial was published in 2011 that assessed the efficacy of PNT to control acute pain after TKA. (16) Twice daily PNT or sham treatments were begun following removal of the epidural at 36 to 48 hours post-surgery and continued until hospital discharge. The average length of stay was 4.36 days in the PNT group and 3.9 days in the control group. All patients randomized to the control group completed the study, while 2 participants from the experimental group withdrew due to unwillingness to comply with twice daily treatments. Before and after each treatment, patients completed a Brief Pain Inventory, which included a VAS pain score. The VAS pain score decreased from 28 to 19 after PNT (32% decrease), but did not change significantly in the control group (26 pre- and 25 post-treatment). Results for the Brief Pain Inventory were not reported. There was a trend (p=0.09) for decreased opioid use in the PNT group compared to controls. Post-hoc power analysis indicated that the study was underpowered. Additional limitations are the lack of investigator blinding and measurement of outcomes immediately after treatment. The authors indicate that a larger trial is planned.
Peripheral Implanted Nerve Stimulation
The American Society of Anesthesiologists' Practice Guidelines on Chronic Pain Management states that the literature is suggestive of the analgesic benefit effects, but is equivocal regarding the beneficial or adverse effects, of peripheral nerve stimulation. A Medline search of peer-reviewed literature failed to locate large, randomized, double-blinded clinical trials that permit conclusions about the efficacy and long-term benefit of peripheral implanted nerve stimulation for treatment of pain. (22)
Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) and percutaneous neuromodulation therapy (PNT) are therapies that combine the features of electroacupuncture and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. PENS is performed with a few needle electrodes while PNT uses very fine needle-like electrode arrays that are placed in close proximity to the painful area to stimulate peripheral sensory nerves in the soft tissue. The literature on PENS and PNT consists primarily of small controlled trials with unclear blinding and short follow-up. In the highest quality trial of PENS conducted to date, no difference in outcomes was found between the active (30 minutes of stimulation at 10 needles) and sham (5 minutes of stimulation at 2 needles) treatment. Literature searches have identified only 2 small trials on PNT, and clinical input on the efficacy of PENS and PNT was mixed. The effect of these treatment approaches on health outcomes is uncertain.
Practice Guidelines and Position Statements
The United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published guidance on PENS in 2013. (17) NICE concluded that the current evidence on the safety of percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS) for refractory neuropathic pain raises no major safety concerns, that there is evidence of efficacy in the short term and that this procedure may be used with normal arrangements for clinical governance, consent and audit.
The American Academy of Neurology, American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine, and American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation published an evidence-based guideline on the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy in 2011. (18) The guideline concluded that, based on a Class I study, electrical stimulation is probably effective in lessening the pain of painful diabetic neuropathy and improving quality of life and recommended that PENS be considered for the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy (level B).
The 2010 Practice guidelines for chronic pain management from the American Society of Anesthesiologists Task Force on Chronic Pain Management and the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine state that subcutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation may be used in the multimodal treatment of patients with painful peripheral nerve injuries who have not responded to other therapies (Category B2 evidence, observational studies). (19)
Joint clinical practice guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of low back pain from the American College of Physicians and the American Pain Society in 2007 indicate that there is uncertainty over whether PENS should be considered a novel therapy or a form of electroacupuncture. (20) The guidelines conclude that PENS is not widely available. (The guidelines also conclude that TENS has not been proven effective for chronic low back pain).

You can do something the Hubble telescope can't: Observe Mercury. And February is the best time this year to do it.
The first planet will make its best appearance of 2013 about 30 minutes after sunset between Feb. 12 and 20 as it positions itself at least 10 degrees-extend your arm and make a fist-above the horizon in the west-southwest. It may be tough to view since we don't live on a prairie and trees obstruct most of the horizons in our backyards.
Mercury and Venus are the only two planets between Earth and the sun. Because of this vantage point, Mercury appears to have phases like the moon-first quarter, last quarter and half-illuminated.
Since its orbit hugs the sun so tightly, Mercury is only visible from Earth during morning or evening twilight, always rising and setting with the sun. Hubble as a rule won't observe it because of its proximity to the sun. Training its powerful telescope on Mercury (or Venus, for that matter) would likely damage Hubble's instruments.
Mercury will be in retrograde from Feb. 8 into April, meaning it will appear to move backward in the sky, but this is an optical illusion caused by the difference in orbital speeds of the two planets. Mercury periodically reaches a stage in its orbit around the sun where, from our perspective on Earth, it appears to slow down to the point where it stands still, and then appears to move backward.
Mercury will be less than 1 degree from Mars on Feb. 8. The sky won't be dark enough to spot the pair until they're just setting in the west.
Since the new moon is on Feb. 10, just after sunset on Feb. 11, a very thin crescent moon will be setting right behind the sun and floating above Mercury and Mars. After the weekend of Feb. 16 and 17, Mercury begins to slide back toward the horizon and gets lost in the sun's glare, ending our Earthly observing opportunities for now.
Feb. 7 - Mercury and Mars form a pleasing but tight planetary conjunction. Mars will be two-thirds of a degree to the upper left of much brighter Mercury. Binoculars or a telescope are recommended because they will be very low in the west-southwest at evening twilight.
Feb. 10 - New moon.
Feb. 25 - Full moon. This full moon was known by early Native American tribes as the Full Snow Moon because the heaviest snows usually fell during this time of the year. Since hunting is difficult in late February, this moon has also been called the Full Hunger Moon.

Scientists with the Smithsonian Institution have discovered at least one new fish species at a deep reef off Curacao while conducting a yearlong project to gather data on temperature and biodiversity for monitoring climate change effects in the Caribbean.
The discovery occurred in recent weeks off the southern edge of the Dutch Caribbean island as scientists used a submarine to explore depths up to 1,000 feet.
Dr. Carole Baldwin, a zoologist, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the team is studying 25 to 30 other specimens of fish and invertebrates collected during the trip that they believe are new species.
"It's like a biology bonanza," she said. "We're in depths that scientists just missed."
She said the data being collected during the project that began last August will help to monitor the health of Caribbean reefs and provide information for developing ways to protect the underwater features.AP
The Caribbean has 10 percent of the world's coral reefs and an estimated 1,400 species of fish and marine mammals, but warming waters and disease have decimated many reefs in the region. Live coral cover has dropped to an average 8 percent of reefs from 50 percent in the 1970s, experts say.

Latest look at Claire Danes in 'Homeland' season 4 – watch
Second trailer for Carrie's Middle East adventure soundtracked by Emily Jane WhiteBuy Claire Danes DVDs
from Amazon UK
A second trailer for Homeland season 4 has been released by TV network Showtime. Soundtracked by Emily Jane White singing 'Hole in the Middle' we get a glimpse of Carrie's dangerous new assignment in the Middle East.
The trailer hypes the intrigue with Saul, now working for Carrie as one of her assets, commenting ominously, "It hasn't been a 14-year war we've been waging, but a one-year war, waged 14 times."
Saul says they're up against the "tyranny of secrets" but Carrie calls it "the tyranny of keeping them" as she's clearly coming to terms with the shady nature of her career.
Emily Jane White's apt lyrics underscore the tension: "Everybody's got a little hole in the middle. Everybody does a little dance with the devil."
The show's co-creator Alex Gansa has described season 4 as effectively a reboot. Gansa has said it was "like doing another pilot" with Carrie's CIA adventures taking her to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Mandy Patinkin, Nazanin Boniadi and Rupert Friend return alongside new cast members Corey Stoll (House of Cards) and Life of Pi star Suraj Sharma.
Homeland season 4 takes a bow across the pond October 5 and is set to return to Channel 4.

Does anyone know where I can find a comprehensive collection of sabermetric definitions? Like VORP (Comp. Clueless), R/C (Runs Created, I know what it stands for but what about a formula?), ERA+ and the like. I just can't get a grasp on a lot of this stuff and don't really have the time to read "The Book" right now. I sometimes get lost on some of what we are talking about at times on here. I'm of course assuming that most of this lingo is from the MoneyBall guys. Certainly I understand the basics up too OPS, but after that I get a little lost.
Maybe we can even add a sticky about it somewhere. Thanks in advance for any help. Hope this isn't construed as a stupid question.

After everything Chelsea have been through with Barcelona over the last 8 years, we have a rivalry, there is bad blood and unfinished business after the famous 4 penalty incidents at the same stage in 2009. The players still think about the injustice of that game and it hurts, it was an even lower feeling than losing the final the year before for me personally. To have the opportunity to potentially go up against Barcelona and a chance of redemption, it's an understandable reaction.
I see and empathize with what you're saying. Chelsea had every right to feel aggrieved with what went on what with terrible decisions etc. Sadly where Barca have got even better than they were a few years ago - and that was brilliant - Chelsea are nowhere near as good as they were then. Then, they were a real match for Barcelona - such a dynamic, strong and tactically astute side, one which was undoubtedly one of the top three clubs in Europe. Now though, well, I just can't envisage the present Chelsea team having a hope in hell against Barca, should they go through against Benfica. I could be totally wrong of course
On the Spurs front, all other matters put aside for a second, a victory is what is required to see if the boat has truly steadied.

Veterans' Disability Benefits:
Claims Processing Problems Persist and Major Performance Improvements May Be Difficult
GAO-05-749T: Published: May 26, 2005. Publicly Released: May 26, 2005.

(202) 512-7207
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Chairman, Committee on Veterans' Affairs, U.S. Senate, asked GAO to testify on the current state of VA's disability claims process and factors that may impede VA's ability to improve performance. For years, the claims process has been the subject of concern and attention within VA and by the Congress and veterans service organizations. Many of their concerns have focused on long waits for decisions, large claims backlogs, and the accuracy of decisions. Our work and recent media reports of significant discrepancies in average disability payments from state to state have also highlighted concerns over the consistency of decision-making within VA. In January 2003, GAO designated federal disability programs, including VA's compensation and pension programs, as a high-risk area because of continuing challenges to improving the timeliness and consistency of its disability decisions, and the need to modernize programs.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) continues to experience problems processing veterans' disability compensation and pension claims. These include large numbers of pending claims and lengthy processing times. While VA made progress in fiscal years 2002 and 2003 in reducing the size and age of its inventory of pending claims, it has lost some ground since the end of fiscal year 2003. For example, pending claims increased by about one-third from the end of fiscal year 2003 to the end of March 2005. Meanwhile, VA faces continuing questions about its ability to ensure that veterans get consistent decisions across its 57 regional offices. GAO has highlighted the need for VA to study the consistency of decisions made by different regional offices, identify acceptable levels of decision-making variation, and reduce variations found to be unacceptable. Also, reacting to media reports of wide variations in average disability benefit payments from state to state, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs instructed VA's Inspector General in December 2004 to determine why these variations were occurring. Several factors may impede VA's ability to make significant improvements in its disability claims processing performance. Recent history has shown that VA's workload and performance is affected by factors such as the impacts of laws and court decisions affecting veterans' benefit entitlement and the claims process, and the filing behavior of veterans. These factors have affected the number of claims VA received and decided. Also, to achieve its claims processing performance goals in the face of increasing workloads without significant staffing increases, VA would have to rely on productivity improvements. GAO believes that fundamental reform might be necessary to achieve more dramatic gains in performance.

No, not the kind you put peanut butter or cheese on, or the kind you crumble up into your chili or clam chowder. I'm talking about the type of "cracker" that Lisa1976 included in my lovely ornament package.
When do I get to pop (?) them? Is there a certain day or time? I want to do this correctly, you know. And I've never had crackers before. So your advice would be appreciated!

If You're Thinking of Living In/Nutley, N.J.
Annie Oakley's Home, Rich in History
Published: September 15, 1996
(Page 2 of 2)
The museum also has Ms. Oakley's derringer, one of Buffalo Bill's pistols, old photos, postcards, artifacts and a recreation of a general store. The museum is open from 2 to 4 P.M. on the first and third Sundays of each month and on Tuesday from 7 to 9 P.M.
Among the more unusual charity events currently staged in the township is the annual Friends of Abused Children Motorcycle Run, a rally organized by Nutley police officers to raise money for children's charities. The event, held on the third Sunday of July, includes music, and a barbecue. Last year it raised $35,000.
In the center of the township, next to Memorial Park, is The Enclosure, a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. It includes four artists' studios and nine homes dating back to 1872 when the area was an artists' colony.
Nutley's main business district, on Franklin Avenue, includes a number of nail and hair salons, banks, video shops, a sporting-goods store and a shoe-repair shop. The township has three supermarkets. For major shopping residents go to malls in Wayne and Paramus and outlet stores in Secaucus, all of which are within 10 miles of the township.
Among the best-known restaurants are the Franklin Steak House on Franklin Avenue and the Park Diner on Center Street. Also well-known for its meats is Roth's Deli on Franklin Avenue, where owner John Dinger keeps weekly tabs for dozens of regulars.
''We see them crossing the street and pour their coffee and start making their sandwiches,'' Mr. Dinger explained..
Mr. Dinger coined the term ''lawyer's row'' for a stretch of Franklin Avenue where a growing number of private houses are being converted into professional offices.
This is a trend that he says indicates that the town is becoming more white collar, a fact that appears to be supported by the 1990 census, which shows that more than 28 percent of Nutley's adults have some university education.
The 3,800-student Nutley Public School District consists of five kindergarten-through-sixth-grade elementary schools, the largest of which is the 520-student Yantacaw School on Yantakaw Place, the Franklin Middle School on Franklin Avenue and the 250-student Nutley High School, which consistently sends 80 percent of its graduates to higher education.
ACCORDING to John Sincaglia, business administrator for the Nutley Board of Education, nearly all of the school buildings were built before the Depression. However, they are maintained and upgraded regularly. At present, they are being wired for computer networks.
Mr. Sincaglia says that 100 percent of Nutley's middle school students passed the state's early-warning tests, which are given to identify pupils who need special help. However, the school administration is concerned over the fact that the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) scores were a combined 880 for English and math, about the state average.
Mr. Sincaglia said the high school was considering offering evening classes to help students prepare for the SATs
For entertainment, many residents attend the productions at the Nutley Little Theater on Erie Place. It produces six shows a year. ''A Man for All Seasons'' is playing on September weekends. Tickets sell for $10 and $12.

GOVERNMENT: Five-member township commission elected to 4-year terms chooses one of its members as mayor for a 4-year term. The current mayor is Garry Furnari. . CODES: ZIP, 0711; area, 201. MORE THAN A HOME: Kingsland Manor, at 3 Lakeside Drive, was built in 1796 by Joseph Kingsland. It has 17 rooms and 2 kitchens and is said to have once included a slave prison and a cellar used as a shelter from Indian raids. In 1918, the home was owned by Daniel McGinnity, a fight promoter who used the grounds to train Bob Fitzsimmons, the heavyweight boxing champion. During Prohibition, Daniel's son, Bernard (Bus) McGinnity, ran a speakeasy in the basement. The house, which is now owned by the township and is used for private and official functions, is on the National Register of Historic Places. Map of New Jersey showing the location of Nutley.

Cities in Globalization
Practices, Policies and Theories
Despite traditionally being a strong research topic in urban studies, inter-city relations had become grossly neglected until recently, when it was placed back on the research agenda with the advent of studies of world/global cities. More recently the 'external relations' of cities have taken their place alongside 'internal relations' within cities to constitute the full nature of cities.
This collection of essays on how and why cities are connecting to each other in a globalizing world provides evidence for a new city-centered geography that is emerging in the twenty-first century. Cities in Globalization covers four key themes beginning with the different ways of measuring a 'world city network', ranging from analyses of corporate structures to airline passenger flows. Second is the recent European advances in studying 'urban systems' which are compared to the Anglo-American city networks approach. These chapters add conceptual vigour to traditional themes and provide findings on European cities in globalization. Thirdly the political implications of these new geographies of flows are considered in a variety of contexts: the localism of city planning, specialist 'political world cities', and the 'war on terror'. Finally, there are a series of chapters that critically review the state of our knowledge on contemporary relations between cities in globalization.
Cities in Globalization provides an up-to-date assembly of leading American and European researchers reporting their ideas on the critical issue of how cities are faring in contemporary globalization and is highly illustrated throughout with over forty figures and tables.less

Season 3 Theatrical Event Date Revealed

Re: Season 3 Theatrical Event Date Revealed
The event this time was much larger than last time around (I'd say at least double the seasons 1 and 2 attendances), but we encountered a few technical difficulties. The center channel kept going out, which meant the dialog was muted while the music and sound effects kept going. We also had some digital noise from the satellite feed right as Admiral Henson hailed the Enterprise from the middle of Wolf 359 (which was actually kinda funny how it synced together with the on-screen static from the battle damage).
There were lots of groans and a few people left early, but ultimately it affected probably less than 10 minutes of the 2 hour show and we were greeted by staff at the end who gave us free passes.

ClassicsOnline Home » PETTERSSON, A.: Symphonies Nos. 8 and 10 (Norrkoping Symphony, Segerstam)
By PV88616
Wonderful, crisp orchestration. This is a masterful recording
I had listened to five and thirteen before this recording, so I was well prepared. I had never heard Norrkoping before, but had listened to Segerstam's Rautavaara symphonies before, and for me he is a superb director. I had no idea of the treat that I was in for. Most of Pettersson's symphonies are on one huge canvass. The eight is different - it is in two parts.
I would think that you would have to like modern orchestral music to get to grips with any of Pettersson's works, but if you think you could listen to say a modern style 'symphonie fantastique', and are a bit of a thinker on the quiet, then this is definitely for you.
The orchestration is bold, dark and uncompromising. You will find hints of Shostakovich and Janecek and many more, but there is no doubting the influence of Carl Neilsen.
I remember reading once that living in the modern world was dehumanising - I find that same sentiment in Pettersson's works - but Pettersson's frustration, rage and mental anguish are never far beneath the surface. He also uses a leitmotif in number eight as a kind of celestial question.
If you like bold orchestral tones, then you don't need to look further. Although Pettersson is something of an enigma, his character and humanity shine through these works in a breathtaking way. Whether he was depressed or suicidal isn't clear, but he was a deep thinker, and for me his genius shines through in this work.
I adore the broad strokes, the crispness and depth of this recording. The way the mountains highs creep up and the combinations of texture - it is a truly masterful work and will not disappoint. The recording is very close - and there are times when possibly a little too close. But what a superb recording, what a superb combination, Be warned though, listening to this recording will drain you completely. I think I might even consider travelling to Sweden to hear this; I can't see it being performed in my country anytime soon...more....

New Jersey's solar market hit record highs on the development side in the face of record lows in Solar Renewable Energy Credit (SREC) prices during the first quarter of 2012. A record 685 solar projects were installed in March 2012, totaling 41,758 kW of solar capacity, shortly after another record high of 84,997 kW of installed solar capacity in January. The first quarter of 2012 recorded 165,390 kW of installed solar capacity, which is more than four times the first quarter of 2011 at 41,027 kW, and nearly seven times the first quarter of 2010 of 24,616 kW. In fact, the first three months of 2012 represent more than 22 percent of the 730,326 kW of installed solar capacity during the past decade.
This record pace of development is contrary to the SREC price signals that hit record lows during the same period. Bloomberg reports that in April, New Jersey's SREC prices dropped below $100/mWh for the first time ever. Reports from the New Jersey Clean Energy Program through March 31, 2012 show SREC monthly lows for the quarter from $100-$115/mWh, with the weighted average from $343-$374/mWh. The most recent SREC auction in February 2012 yielded a price of $171/mWh.

LOS ANGELES – It was a 2-2 pitch to the Angels' Mike Napoli, on July 6, 2010, in Chicago.
Jake Peavy pivoted, delivered and walked off the mound. The pitch location suddenly didn't matter. All that mattered was that hole Peavy felt below his right shoulder. Underneath the pain, he knew his career had reached a full count.
He walked into the dugout and told pitching coach Don Cooper, "I'm done."
He walked into the visiting clubhouse at Dodger Stadium on Friday night with a 6-2 record and a 2.91 ERA and a .202 batting average-against, and the only "Dunn" he thinks about is teammate Adam.
"They filmed the operation," Peavy said. "They documented it so they show people. I've watched bits and pieces of it. Pretty entertaining. It's hard to believe you're watching you."
We're all familiar with pitchers and other athletes who make the long, slow, triumphant slog through injuries that would have sent the previous generation to the Barcalounger for good.
But Peavy's operating-room movie was a world premiere. He was having his latissimus dorsi tendon reattached so he could resume throwing 92 mph baseballs with it. It was the first surgery of its kind for a pitcher.
In some ways Peavy was as courageous as Tommy John, when John volunteered to have a tendon attached to his elbow, a 1974 operation that re-started his career and later preserved thousands of others.
But there was no upside in refusing the surgery, because Peavy would have retired at 29.
"I had no choice," he said.
The lat tendon connects that big muscle to the upper arm. Peavy consulted with Dr. Lewis Yocum before deciding to let Dr. Anthony Romeo, the White Sox orthopedist, try the surgery at Rush Presbyterian Hospital in Chicago.
"I wish I'd had somebody like Tommy John to walk me through it," Peavy said. "All I know that the pain that night (against the Angels) was the worst I'd ever felt.
"I think the operation went a couple of hours. When I came out of it I was on some real good morphine. I knew it would take a lot of rehab after that, and it was a grind, four or five hours every day, trying to get the range of motion back.
"You feel you're ahead of schedule and then you have a setback. I knew there was a chance I'd never pitch again. But I didn't want to give in to that."
Peavy had already had a career. In 2007, with San Diego, he led the National League in victories, ERA and strikeouts and won the Cy Young Award. He makes $17 million this year and, in 2013, will either make $22 million or receive a $4 million buyout and become a free agent.

MICE that have been genetically engineered so that they lack a key brain enzyme are abnormally aggressive, reports a team of researchers. The enzyme, monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), controls the levels of several brain chemicals, such as serotonin, dopamine and nor-adrenaline, which are thought to play a part in regulating aggressive behaviour.
In their study, reported in the current issue of Science, scientists from France, Switzerland and the US used a genetic trick to damage the gene encoding MAOA, so that no MAOA could be made. The resulting mice displayed a wide range of abnormal behaviours, such as trembling, frantic running and falling over. They were also more likely to bite their human handlers, and fought more vigorously with their fellow mice.
The finding bolsters an earlier report of a Dutch family whose male members are also abnormally aggressive and impulsive. Scientists studying the family had noticed that the gene ...

I do not think it is worth $9.99. For a print magazine to give so much more, and costs more for production, I expected at LEAST that. For a digital magazine, this is pitiful. Sorry. This has the potential to be absolutely a.ma.zing. What was there was nice..
I too am ever so slightly disappointed that for a $9.99 price tag, I think I got less than I might in a print magazine - in my opinion.
I did buy this EntreKnit for specific references they made in the promo; but then found out I had to pay another $7.00 to buy the actual pattern - Curlicue Coverlet.
There is much more I will use from this edition, I am sure - thank you for the great info you have provided thus far; I look forward to you next edition.

jimgo - Jim McGee's concerns about rough water on the lower Delaware is worth further discussion, but if you're looking for a place within easy driving distance from Avalon, it's hard to think of a better place than Bayway. I've never been there, so I'm just posting my reaction to Ulladh's recommendation. (By the way, Jim McGee is the one who sent me the helpful comments on Barnegat marinas that I forwarded to you.)
We've driven through Toms River on the way to Island Beach State Park many times over the last 30 years. When I lived near Princeton we took I-195. From the Philly area we've always taken Rt. 70-37 through Toms River. It's only a two lane highway through the forested part east of Medford, but the driving is about as relaxed as it gets in New Jersey. That might be a longer route from Lansdale, though. (And be aware that we've never made the trip on a Friday afternoon.) From viewing it over the Rt. 37 bridge, Barnegat Bay looks like a fascinating place to sail, and I've been wanting to rent a daysailer there (or bum a ride off someone else - hint-hint) for awhile.
Originally Posted by

I think this is an exaggeration. We have not had tremendous currents for the past six weeks. I view the glass as half full: Despite rainfall that has shattered all-time records, the currents were above normal only for a few days after Irene, and a couple days after Lee. You can check
NOAA's current station
data to verify. But during that same time the Chesapeake also a lot of silt (which can clog water intakes) and large debris (which can inflict obvious damage), so neither body of water was well suited for recreational use during that time.
Aside from those few days, there has been no noticeable increase in the strength of the currents over the past six weeks - or at any other time this season or last. There has never been a time that I said, "I can't go out because the currents are too fast."
It can be argued that the only reason one would want to sail the Delaware is because it is close to home for some of us. But that can be a compelling reason for those of us who know we wouldn't sail if we had to drive longer distances. And it's still sailing! There are many other places where sailors contend with - and do enjoyable sailing in - much swifter currents than we have on the Delaware.
If you're a frequent cruiser, and you need to get "from point A to point B" on a particular day within certain hours, the current can be a killer. But if you're a daysailor, and you only need to get "from point A to point A", and you're willing to pick your route (upriver vs. downriver) to suit that day's currents and the slackwater schedule, the currents are entirely manageable.

Cannon EOS 1100D not turning on. Any ideas for fixing?
by richardrenshaw1 - 4/19/14 7:37 AM
My camera is no longer turning on. I have tried switching between two fully charged batteries and nothing. I have also tried plugin it into the laptop and its not registering any device, or even the fact that there is a SD card. I have also re-installed the set up disk that came in the box, allong with running the trouble shooting cd that was in there, which just uninstalled everything that had just been installed on there. Any ideas?

From the return of the pearl to the embrace of fringe on just about everything.
How to... Dress for Success
Arguably the leader of the pack, finely hewn footwear is in abundance for Fall. In a nod to film noir, 1940s inspired heels ruled, while tomboys received their due with lug soles and more masculine detailing. On the other side of the sartorial coin, there's always room for the super sultry by way of up to there boots in sumptuous fabrics and for those who have free reign on their stomping grounds, stacked heel booties are made to go the distance.

Mozambican carrier LAM is trying to ascertain the location of an aircraft which had been operating a service to Angola.
It apparently disappeared while conducting flight TM470 from Maputo to Luanda, with 28 passengers and six crew.
The flight departed at 11:26, the airline says, and had been due to arrive at 14:10.
LAM says it has information the aircraft "landed" at Rundu in northern Namibia.
But the carrier says it is working to confirm these indications.
Although the aircraft type is unconfirmed, LAM's timetable indicates that TM470 uses an Embraer 190.
All Mozambican carriers, including LAM, are blacklisted under a blanket European Commission ban.

(Not So Famous) Five Have A Moroccan Adventure
View Single Post
I'm a Yorkshireman thanoz
Joined: Jan 2008
Location: Up North In The UK!
Oddometer: 1,884
So pretty much all my pictures are uploaded and I've an hour or so before I'm back in work this evening. The motorcycle travelling is absolutely top drawer, but when you get home you get home with an all mighty bang!
Anyway, buckle up grab a brew and off we go
Here's a proper introduction to the team;
Jack (my missus)
Chubbythumper AKA Terry
V Twins for me AKA Rob
Frog AKA Pete
And little old me AKA DeeGee/DG/Gav Flying the KTM Colours
So as mentioned before we had a bit of an adventure, before we set off due the the strike actions of the French crew on the ferry. We all managed to get on an alternative ferry though on a different crossing two days earlier than planned, this meant Jack had to wangle another day off work and also she had to go in on the Sunday to make sure all wages were done for the staff. Monday arrived and we were like a pair of kids on Christmas Eve, we had waited soooooo long for this adventure.
Bike packed to the gunnels and we were off.
We made a short stop on the way to Poole to borrow a friends GoPro camera, quick chat and a brew and we were on the way again.
Garage stop for fuel and water
We eventually found our way to the Port on the South coast of England, parked up and waited for the others to arrive.
Rob soon followed on his SE
Then came Pete, followed by the boat.
Once on board the bikes were strapped down we went upstairs and began the banter and Pete got stripped off!
As Terry was travelling from Northern Ireland he had travelled on an overnight ferry the day before, still sailing into Cherbourg therefore we had all booked into a cheap Formula 1 hotel for the night. We got off the ferry in the wet darkness and made the short journey to the hotel where Terry was waiting for us.
The following morning hadn't changed, it was an early wet start to the day.
We'd not been going all that long when some of the "older" team members needed to relieve their swollen bladders
We made good progress and found our way down near a town called Dax in southern France, fuel and a brew to decide what to do.
We decided that a motel round the back of the fuel station was too expensive for what it was and decided to head into the next town to find digs........
We rode and tried several hotels, some were derelict and the rest were full, time was pressing on as it was near 21.00, we had been on the road since 7.30 and we were getting pretty desperate. We got our heads together and pressed on further south aiming for a hotel which we'd punched into the satnav and luckily we came up trumps as the bright lights illuminated the hotel at the side of the road. Once the bikes were secured and the luggage removed we headed for the restaurant.......... Which was closed
Luckily good old Micky D's was round the corner so we headed there and managed to get some food in ouir bellies before that closed on us too!
It was licensed too!
Early breakfast the following day and we were on the road rolling by 8.00 Pretty uneventful day as we hooked up the ipod and listened to some tunes while we munched away the miles.
Over the border into Spain.
Fuel stop where Rob and Pete took advantage of the shade.
Fuel stop and Jack had time to check out her phone.
Did I mention Jack was on her phone?
We got a place to stay just north of Madrid in La Cabrera in Spain.
We ate and dined there. A real character owned the place, he recommended the cheeseboard for dessert which I asked for
I was sooooooooooo excited!!
Right graft beckons, catch up with more tomorrow.

thulaghiri: hidden secret
we found this island totally by chance, and it must have been the luckiest break we've ever had.
the island is owned by an austrian millionaire and is geared up for the german and japanese market, but we were made to feel more than welcome.
only 20 minutes by speedboat from male with all types of fish and turtles to be seen.
for the more adventurous a scuba diving school was located on the island.
food was out of this world, with every taste catered for.
we opted for the beach hut, and were rewarded with spectacular views !!
a pool could be found on the island, but nobody used it while we were there, the ocean was just perfect.
the sunset could be observed from a beach bar, before going to get changed for dinner.
if you are looking for a totally relaxing break, then this is the island for you.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
