im going down tommorow, what seats are the best deal....the bleachers, upperdeck, or the $5 upper deck seats???
If by "best deal" you mean the cheapest... $5 upper deck, but that isn't the entire upper deck; it's only for the two far-corner upper deck sections (one on each side of the field).

I hate watching games from the OF or even close to the OF, but that's me.
My personal preference is View Level Infield Box ($19), any section behind home plate OR Mezzanine Infield ($19), sections 418 or 419 as close to the front of the section as possible. If I can't get those, I try for View Level ($12), sections 518 or 519, also as close to the front as possible.
I like looking down on the playing field because if I'm too low, my depth perception is all screwed up every time a fly ball is hit.

We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Professional Ratings: 93 Wine Enthusiast, 91 International Wine Cellar
Region: Napa Valley, California
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Other Info: Collectible Wines
Style: Big & Bold
Alcohol By Volume: 14.9%
Item no. 121913
The 2009 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon shows the intrinsic black stone fruit nuances and the soft tannin structure that define our Oakville, Napa Valley-floor Cabernet.
From the winery's estate vineyard, on the eastern side of the Oakville appellation, this Cab is incredibly lush and delicious. It dazzles with rich blackberry, cherry pie, currant and cassis liqueur flavors, perfectly accented by sweet, smoky oak. It's soft in tannins, yet ageworthy.
Dark red. Musky redcurrant, licorice, smoke, tobacco, mocha and brown spices on the slightly medicinal nose. Supple, smooth and ripe but with little easy sweetness to the flavors of redcurrant, smoke, herbs and menthol. Finishes with firm, dusty tannins and very good length. This is carrying nearly 15% alcohol but hardly comes across as modern and overripe.

Finding yourself wide awake after a few hours of sleep, or waking often during the night is called "parasomnia" or "sleep maintenance insomnia," and it's much more common than people think. A 2005 National Sleep Foundation poll found that 75 percent of adults frequently have symptoms of a sleep problem, including waking during the night.
Just as the victims in slasher flicks make fatal errors (why are you running up the stairs?), we are often our own worst enemies when it comes to a solid night of sleep. "People think that because they're able to fall asleep they'll stay asleep, even if they've had too much caffeine," says Rubin Naiman, Ph.D., a sleep and dream specialist at Andrew Weil's Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.
But for most of us, the culprit's not that ill-conceived espresso at 5 p.m. "The root of most sleep problems is stress," says Jeffrey Thompson, director of the Center for Neuroacoustic Research and creator of an audio sleeping aid called the Delta Sleep System. (Now that you know about Delta Sleep, how about getting acquainted with Delta Fit? The Speed Shred workout will blast fat and sculp muscles, igniting your body's metabolism in no time.)
We're overloaded, over-stimulated, and overwhelming our bodies' ability to relax. "Our nervous system is built for a sprint, but we're living in a stress marathon," he says. "If you go to bed worried you're probably going to wake up in the middle of the night," Dr. Naiman adds. And when that happens, as you probably know, the next day is pretty much shot.
Last night, 10 million men lost their struggle for a good night's sleep. Today, their jobs, maybe even their lives, are in jeopardy.
A new generation of sleep scientists are overturning the conventional wisdom about parasomnia. (Counting sheep? Out.) They say: You can do it. With a few simple changes in your routine, a little visualization, a couple of surprisingly counter-intuitive moves and perhaps an attitude adjustment, a peaceful night of slumber can be yours. Here's their best advice.
Throw out your definition of a good night's sleep
Just as three square meals a day has given way to all-day grazing and smaller portions, "what's good for you" has changed here, too.
"Thinking it's necessary to stay asleep for 8 hours straight may be unrealistic," says David Neubauer, M.D., associate director of the Johns Hopkins Sleep Disorders Center and author of Understanding Sleeplessness: Perspectives on Insomnia. "Just as we experience a dip in alertness mid-afternoon, the inverse is a dip in sleepiness in the middle of the night. There's strong evidence that there's a kind of awakening that's totally normal."
History supports this take, Dr. Naiman says. "Before the industrial revolution, people had their first sleep for 3 to 4 hours, awoke for an hour or two, then slept for another 3 or 4 hours."
Even waking every 60 to 90 minutes can be part of a healthy sleep pattern. The deeper stages of sleep, or REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, occur about every 90 minutes and get longer as the night goes on, so your brain might become more alert between those cycles.
Since we're conditioned to think that waking during the night is a problem, when it happens, we panic. That reaction causes our brains to awaken even further, Dr. Neubauer explains.
If you find yourself awake in pre-dawn hours, Dr. Naiman advises first assessing your physical state. Do you have an ache, a cramp, or need to go to the bathroom? If so, take care of it.
If you don't have a physical complaint, then chances are you are experiencing a normal stage of the sleep cycle. Knowing this "helps replace worries that you'll be useless without 8 solid hours of sleep with more neutral thoughts," suggests Sat Bir Khalsa, Ph.D., instructor in medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital at Harvard Medical School. "The useful thought is: 'I can handle the disruption and still feel rested.'"
Get bed-ready
After an action-packed day (or one equally packed with worry), our brains need some time to catch up, to make order of things, and to slow their frenetic firing before we're ready to sleep. Pure bodily exhaustion can probably get you at least that first hour of dozing, but then worries will rise to the surface and cause you to stir. How can you get your mind to chill?
"We need to learn to apply the brakes before the car is in the garage," Dr. Naiman says. "Clearing your head is key to a good night of sleep." Simply taking 15 minutes to sit quietly, meditate, pray, or do rhythmic breathing can allow your mind to slow down enough to sleep through the night.
Establishing any ritual that you do before bed—anything but checking your e-mail!—will do more than relax you right then and there. The repetition also conditions your brain and body for sleep, Thompson explains.
While you're transitioning to Z-mode the same way night after night, you're also creating a Pavlovian response to your ritual. So simply sitting in the spot where you do your breathing or turning on the shower water signals your mind that it will be sleeping soon, Thompson says.
Another way to condition yourself sleepward is by playing off the body's internal clock. Dr. Naiman suggests simulating dusk about an hour before you plan to go to bed and dimming the lights significantly. This triggers natural circadian rhythms that help us prepare for sleep.

This application claims priority to U.S. 60/862,704 filed Oct. 24, 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The invention pertains to analysis of healthcare data files and, more particularly, to processing of patient data for quality assurance purposes. It is estimated that hospitals lose four to five percent of expected net revenues in the claims process. As many as 40 percent of the 15 billion claims processed annually are rejected or denied at least once during the administrative process. In many instances, causal errors are not corrected for resubmittals.
With health care spending exceeding $500 billion, based on conservative assumptions it has been estimated that hospitals alone, in the U.S., are losing over $25 billion per year in collections. For the average 250-bed hospital these revenue losses may be on the order of $4.5 million each year. In any industry with average margins of four percent, elimination of such losses could increase the bottom line by fifty percent, and for many hospitals this can mean the difference between a net profit and a net loss.
An overview of a typical healthcare revenue cycle is illustrated in
In view of the high percentage of claim denials, it has become commonplace to staff management activities to address prevention or correction of problems leading to claim denials. However, it has been difficult to eliminate process-related causes of claim denials because, for most hospitals, the revenue cycle is not a single, centralized system. Typically, there are numerous discrete departmental activities each having separate processes with local performance and accountability standards.
Errors leading to claim denials often begin in the patient access stage where patient data is entered into a database. Procedures for patient scheduling and registration may vary among departments. Moreover, staff involved in the data generation process may not be sensitized to the impact which errors in data entry can have on the hospital's overall financial condition.
The financial impact of common admissions data entry errors includes, as a significant component, the cost of human resources assigned to address the rejections. Seventy five percent or more of the personnel in a typical hospital business office are dedicated to such rework. Nationally, in the US, it is estimated that as many as 25,000 full-time hospital and medical group employees are dedicated to addressing denied claims and related management tasks. On the other hand, about 90% of all denials are preventable.
Examples of the invention are illustrated wherein a need is identified to modify entries in a database containing healthcare admissions data. In these examples a first computer system is provided for performing analysis of patient data generated by a health care provider and stored in a second computer system under the control of the health care provider. The first system may repeatedly receive, from the second computer system, one or more editions of code for applying error-checking rules to at least a portion of the admissions data, the code being received at the first computer system in a first form. The second system may also receive information present in the health care admissions data for performing analysis thereon. Each time, after receiving a set of information present in the health care admissions data, the most recently received edition of the code is converted into executable code for applying the rules to evaluate the most recently received information.
In another aspect of the invention a data quality management system is useful for managing healthcare admissions data. According to an embodiment the system can include a first computer system comprising at least one server and having storage media. The media may contain a plurality of sets of patient data each assembled by a different health care provider and useful in relation to filing of insurance claims. A plurality of rules engines may each be customized for a different health care provider with each stored in human readable code. A program, which when run on the first computer system, compiles a first of the rules engines customized for a first of the health care providers wherein rules associated with the first rules engine are applied to identify needs for modifying a set of patient data received from the first health care provider.
In still another aspect of the invention, a computer system may include a data processor and memory and software for evaluating healthcare admissions data file quality. In one example, a system router may be configured to receive multiple files, each containing information extracted from healthcare provider patient data files stored in a database remote from the computer system. One or more database servers include storage for retaining each of the patient data files distinct from the other. Multiple versions of rules code may each be simultaneously stored in source code form on the one or more servers, and each version may be associated with a different provider file. When each version is compiled and executed by the data processor, the code evaluates information from the associated provider file relative to a set of pre-determined validation rules.
The invention will be more clearly understood from the following description wherein an embodiment is illustrated, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Like reference numbers are used throughout the figures to indicate like features. Individual features in the figures may not be drawn to scale.
There has been a need for a quality assurance (QA) system that systematically and comprehensively eliminates common patient-related errors or enables timely correction of such errors so as to reduce payor denials. In several embodiments of the invention, this entails monitoring of patient data for completeness, consistency or correct coding based on, for example, cross checking admissions data with clinical information. Further, customized analysis can be employed to improve the effectiveness of a monitoring effort, this having a beneficial effect on revenue integrity programs. Such a QA system can provide continual monitoring for data errors or deficiencies or claim rejections in order to expedite remedial efforts and thereby more quickly move the claims process to a successful completion.
Thus, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a QA system applies a dynamic rules engine 30 to process hospital admissions data. A data file specification defines fields of data in admissions records for analysis. The data is extracted from the admissions records and input to a processor-based subsystem of the QA system. Rules are developed for application to the extracted data. As more fully described herein, the extracted data may be ported from a hospital admissions data base to the processor-based subsystem which deploys the rules engine 30 to analyze the data. Other configurations are contemplated as well, wherein, for example, the rules engine may be run on a server-based system of a healthcare provider which contains the extracted data.
In the illustrated examples, rules of validation are used to test data strings extracted from one or more fields in the records of each patient. A feature of the invention is a user interface enabling, for example, staff at the healthcare provider's facility, to design the rules by selecting a combination of operators to evaluate information in strings of data or to compare information between strings of data. Exercising a rule as a combination of operations can result in a logical determination of consistencies or inconsistencies indicative of whether there is an absence or a presence of an error in the data associated with a field. This may merely involve comparisons of data in one field with expected values. In other implementations, the rule may be implemented by applying one or more conditional tests among one or multiple fields of data. Based on a combination of specific operations selected to analyze data, code can be generated to effect an automated process in which the data is analyzed, e.g., by logical determinations, for possible errors and omissions. The code may be stored in a relational database to programmatically represent the rule.
Once data fields to be evaluated are selected and validation rules are created, admissions data associated with the selected fields can be extracted from the provider's database and tested for compliance with the rules. In one embodiment of the invention, programming language classes are dynamically created based on the stored data file specification and compiled into binary data link libraries (DLLs) at the time of processing. Validation rules code may be read from the database and compiled at runtime into binary DLLs utilizing a specified set of interface methods called by the processing code. Admissions records are read into memory and validation rules code operates on each record to determine if there are any errors or omissions in the fields. A report can be generated each time the fields are evaluated so that data input personnel can rectify errors or omissions.
The data defined in the extract field specifications 14 may be imported to the QA system 20 and used in conjunction with a rules engine 30 in the QAS 20. The rules engine 30 is specific to each HCP data system 22 and designed to examine specific data strings extracted from the HCP data system. The extracted data strings contain information which has been input to the admissions data fields of the HCP data systems through, for example, the registrar terminals 26 by HCP staff. Specifically, the rules engine 30 is designed to evaluate each of multiple data strings relative to a set of pre-determined validation rules 12. The rules are provided as code to a data processor for execution in the QAS 20.
The validation rules 12 can be generated with the assistance of a series of Rules Editor screens. In the illustrated examples, the rules can be constructed to validate strings of data extracted from specified fields populated during a hospital admissions registration process.
The extract field specification 14 and the files of extracted data may include names associated with the data fields in human readable form, e.g., for display to the HCP staff in user interface screens of a Rules Editor 30. See, for example, the screens 27 and 28 illustrated in
In the illustrated system, the HCP System 22 may include a a script code generator module (SCGM) 29 housed in the server 24 (e.g., created by the QAP). The script code generator module 29 may be created in Visual C# available from Microsoft Corporation. The module 29 automatically codes the rules 12, which may be user-defined, e.g., created by staff of the HCP. Initially, the HCP staff may create the rules 12 in ASCII text format via screen interfaces as described herein. The script codes are generated by the module 29, and the resulting code can be ported to the QAS 20 over the network 29 for incorporation in a rules engine data base, such as one of the data bases 30-1, 30-2 or 30-3 shown in
Thus the HCP may begin using the system 20 with pre-defined rules but may, at any time, compose validation rules specific to its needs with the script code generator. Alternate validation rules can be written to verify whether certain data fields in the patient records of an HCP data system 22 contain complete and correct information. To this end, insurance information and patient type information can be grouped for operation of rules thereon to determine whether an account falls in a pre-defined grouping. In creating a validation rule the HCP may assign it a unique rule code and add a text description in the Rule Definition screen.
A validation rule can be made up of one or more parts which each may contain one or more sub-parts. The client can create customized rules by defining the various parts of the rule, e.g., by creating a rule part and giving it a description. In the examples provided, each part and it's corresponding subparts is a test or truth statement providing an output which can be combined with other outputs in a string of logic operations. The HCP may define the sub-parts in conjunction with identification of fields for the extract specification thereby defining data strings on which to perform the test. The extract specification may be modified as needed to provide needed data strings for customized rule definition. Each sub-part may include a validation operator for determining the compliance of a data string in a selected field with a desired criterion. Given a list of validation operators the HCP may, without direct involvement of the QAP, develop a series of customized rules 12 to test files of extracted data on a routine, e.g., daily, basis. Each file of extracted data can be organized according to a sequence of fields in each record to enable operation of one or more rules on an individual strings or records of data, or groups or classes of data. The extract field specification can be selected or changed by the HCP using a drop-down menu. The operator for each rule part can also be selected from a drop-down menu.
In an example embodiment the rules editor 32 allows the HCP to specify that all tests in a rule must be true (logical AND), or that at least one test applied to one subpart must be true (logical OR), in order for operation of the rule to result in a determination that data contains an error. Other well-known Boolean tests may be employed. When a rule 12 is based on a logical OR, only one or more sub-parts must be found true in order for operation on a part to be found true. The client may also apply a given validation rule to a grouping such as an insurance plan grouping or a particular campus or set of campuses. The term campus as used herein may refer to one of several facilities of under the management or control of one HCP. Different campuses may provide similar or identical services, but the set of campuses may be so varied as to include specialized facilities such as a day surgery center, a mental health facility or a cancer center. In other contexts, such as when the healthcare provider is a physician group medical practice, the campuses may reflect certain specializations that may be colocated or physically separate and having different database servers. As another example, group psychiatric and psychology practices may define separate "campuses" or types of services which may not be physically separate, but which relate to different insurance groups or different types of treatment or insurance coverage, e.g., one for medical coverage and one or more others for provision of various types of professional counseling services.
When the validation rule is applied to a grouping such as a group of campuses or a grouping of claim types, the QAS can apply the rules engine to only check account records that fall in the defined grouping for errors. Text, describing corrective action to be taken when an error or omission is found, may be included in a comment section associated with the validation rule. This can assure that admissions registration representatives will receive guidance on how to correct problems. In
The rule "A01—Auto related diagnosis and auto code not filed" is a rule to check whether the auto insurance plan is listed as a secondary or tertiary insurance plan. To accomplish this the rule checks if the patient came to the hospital as the result of an automotive accident, and also checks to see if a vehicle insurance carrier was filed as the primary insurance carrier. The rule A01 comprises ten parts:
"Part 2—Admitting diagnosis line contains "mvc" (motor vehicle collision)
Each part may include a subpart which can comprise a designated field and an operator (e.g., contains) which checks for a specified value (e.g., "auto" or "mvc") in the data string of the designated field.
The "Part 1—Auto not filed primary" includes a sub-part that comprises:
The rule "BH01—Behavioral plan filed on non behavioral service" is a rule to determine whether a behavioral insurance plan is identified as primary, secondary, or tertiary insurance when the service provided is not covered under the designated plan. The rule also determines whether the account was registered in an area other than a Behavioral area of the hospital. That is, the rule can be used to find accounts that are not in the BEH campus but which are nonetheless using a behavioral Insurance code.
The rule BH01 comprises two parts:
"Part 2—Campus not g2 or g3" (wherein g2 and g3 are specified behavioral health facilities in the hospital system). If the check box in the 'Rule Definition' screen for "Requires All Parts True" is checked then all parts must be true for an error to exist in the rule. Each part may include a subpart which can comprise a designated field and an operator (e.g., does not contain) which checks for a specified value (e.g., campus "g2") in the data string of the designated field.
(i) a first sub-part including:
The rule "G30-1—Parent DOB rule not followed" checks for parent date of birth information first by determining whether insurance information was input to the INS#1 and INS#2 fields. Next it rules out self-pay and then checks the relationship of the insured to the patient to see that the insured is a mother or father. The last check is to confirm that the parent whose birthday falls first in the calendar year is listed as the primary insurance. The illustrated implementation of this rule requires seven parts:
The "Part 1—Ins #1 not blank" includes a sub-part that comprises "Field 1—Insurance 1 Plan Code", "Operator—Not Blank". The "Part 2—Ins #2 not blank" includes a sub-part that comprises "Field 1—Insurance 2 Plan Code", "Operator—Not Blank". The "Part 3—Ins #1 not self pay" includes a sub-part that comprises "Field 1—Insurance #1 not self pay", "Operator—Not In Insurance group", and "Value—sp" (i.e., self pay). The "Part 4—Ins #2 not self pay" includes a sub-part that comprises "Field 1—Insurance #2 not self pay", "Operator—Not In Insurance group", and "Value—sp". The
The rule "MD04-1—Ins#1 Medipass/MCAID HMP auto not obtained" checks for Medicaid HMO authorization by determining whether the insurance plan code begins with 20012, 20034, 20052, 20028, or 20032 and patient service is not T (Observation) I (Inpatient), or E (Emergency), but the authorization field has been left blank. The rule MD04-1 comprises nine parts:
With the check box in the 'Rule Definition' screen for "Requires All Parts True" being checked, all parts must be true for an error to exist in the rule.
The "Part 1—Ins #1 Medipass or Medicaid HMO" includes a sub-part that comprises:
Once the rules are established, the QAS can perform analysis of data entries. The data entries associated with the extracted fields can be periodically exported (e.g., in a batch mode) from the healthcare admissions system to the QAS to populate look-up tables. Alternately, with a continuous connection between the healthcare admissions system and the QAS, the rules can be applied on a continual or on a real-time basis.
Operations 40 in the QAS include receiving the rules 12 provided in script code which are saved with the other rule information in a portion of the client database, e.g., 30-1, referred to as Data Store 2 in
With reference again to
An admissions data entry validation process according to one embodiment of the invention begins with generating an admissions data extract file 44 for all active correct patient admissions data, which may be temporarily stored on the HCP server 24. In different embodiments smaller extract files of admissions data may be generated by or for individual registrars. Other arrangements are also contemplated. The resulting extract file 44 may be sent via the Internet, e.g., in a batch mode, to the QAS central server 46 for validation. The data validation program 42 applies the appropriate Rules Engine 30 against the extract file 44 to identify errors (or FAILS) in the admissions data which are then presented in an error report for review by one or more registrars for correction. The registrar may have some errors that are not fixable with the instructions provided. The registrar may then notify HCP management of such 'Can't Fix Errors'.
The illustrated dynamic rules engine 30 reviews healthcare admissions data records for errors. The review may be based on client-defined validation rules that can be modified on an as-needed basis, e.g., directly by the HCP and without involvement of the QAP, such changes being readily accommodated by the QAS which compiles the code at run time. Conventionally, rules engines have run a pre-compiled software program, i.e., typically the binary executable file is stored in form for immediate execution upon loading into memory. A feature of the data validation processing program 42 is a dynamic rules engine 30 which, as described herein, is capable of being revised or supplemented by HCP staff to provide the flexibility of running modified rules at the discretion of HCP management. This capability can be critically important to the HCP to achieve error-free healthcare admissions data files because, for example, of continuously changing insurance information and criteria, and the ability to reduce errors by continually managing the claims process from the patient admissions stage through claim approval. Further, it is common for health insurance plans to be revised on a yearly basis and patients may change plans at any time with little notice to the provider. Compiling the code into one or more binary DLLs at run time enables immediate incorporation of new rules to enable an HCP to address new issues arising in health coverage as these may affect the provision of admissions data and the efficiency of the claims process. Generally, this approach can enable an HCP to quickly address new sources of errors resulting from changes in the claims process. According to some embodiments, data retrieval from HCP and QAP storage media is not required during execution of the processing program 42. For example, in the disclosed system, sets of field extract information needed to run individual rules are loaded into memory when the code is compiled. Thus there is no need to access storage locations while the program is running.
Summarily, a data processing engine has been presented which allows custom rules to be created in order to identify errors in the content of hospital admission record data files. The data files are input to the QAS 20 and stored in a relational database. A user interface allows operators to define or modify complex validation rules involving data fields using the non-programming language of the HCP staff, e.g., English text. A programmatic representation of a rule 12 is created from the non-programming language text and the corresponding source code is stored in the relational database. New files containing revised rules may be received periodically and stored, e.g., written over the prior files. At run time, the stored rules definition code is compiled into binary DLLs which are read into memory. Error results (e.g., PASSES and FAILS) are output by the processing program into result files.
Also in accord with several embodiments of the invention, a set of selected data fields, e.g., field headings, in the patient data admissions files is entered into an extract file specification to provide the HCP a set of data fields with which to create the rules 12. The fields may include, for example, insurance plan, insurance group number, patient type, and diagnosis. The fields may be manually extracted and input to the system via a spreadsheet program so they can also be used to map associated data entries to table look-up locations. The QAS 20 provides the client a set of validation operators with which rules can be created to operate on the data entries associated with the selected data fields. A validation operator may be an instruction for determining the compliance of a data string in a selected field with a desired criterion. With the list of validation operators and the extract field specification files, the client can generate data file validation rules, each rule comprising a code name, a description, and one or more rule parts. Each rule part may have one or more rule sub-parts. Each rule part comprises an extract field, an operator, and a value. Each field is populated from the admissions data according to the extract field specification 14 prepared during the set-up phase using a drop-down menu. The operator field for each rule part is also selected from a drop-down menu.
Although embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, the invention is not so limited. Numerous modifications, variations, substitutions and equivalents will occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

 To expand a bit on Abdul's answer.

 Got is the past tense of get, which means to receive. We got ice cream means that you received the ice cream.

 Have, in this context, is a present tense verb that means to possess.

 So not only are the two sentences talking about different times, they have different meanings. Using the same verbs in the opposite time frames may help you see the difference.
 We had over 32 ice cream flavors.

 We get (are getting) over 32 ice cream flavors.

answered May 15 at 07:10 by Patty T, Grammarly Fellow

 Both are correct.

 We got over 32 ice cream flavors.

 Tense: Past Simple ( Talking about the past )

 We have over 32 ice cream flavors.

 Tense: Present Simple ( Talking about the present )

A brown bear death zone near the confluence of the Kenai and Russian rivers has suddenly become something of a sanctuary.
Just two years ago, nine bears were killed in defense of life and property in a five-mile radius around the confluence of two of Alaska's most popular fisheries. Nearly half the total came from one incident when a sow was shot and its three cubs were euthanized.
But last year no bears died -- a feat repeated this year.
"Public safety has been such a paramount concern that any year with a lack of incidents is a good year," said Bobbi Jo Skibo, an interagency coordinator working for Chugach National Forest, a big landowner in the area.
Among the factors:
• Weaker red salmon runs up the Russian. Only 64,473 reds returned to the Russian this season, down 17 percent from two years ago.
• A rainy summer raised both the Russian's water levels and flow, flushing fish carcasses out of the clear-water stream more efficiently.
• The nine deaths in 2008. "Two years ago, lot of bears got removed from area," said Jeff Selinger, Alaska Department of Fish and Game area wildlife biologist. "That played into it."
• Improved behavior by anglers, who were asked to toss fish waste into the fast-flowing Kenai or pack fish out whole.
"It's amazing to see over the course of three years how we've made a difference with the angler," Skibo said. "When you got to the river five years ago, you'd see coolers and backpacks and strings of fish all over the place.
"Go to the river today and you don't see backpacks laying around and fish stringers unattended. People have realized there's something in place here.
"Mother Nature and environmental variations all play a part. But we saw a lot of people carrying fish out whole or going down to the table at the Kenai river to filet them."
During years of strong Russian River returns, such as last year, biologists often double red limits to six fish, confident that more than enough fish will make it upstream to spawn. That presents anglers who pack their fish out whole with a potentially weighty problem -- carrying six reds that could total nearly 40 pounds.
That never happened this year, as both runs struggled to meet the minimum escapement goal that biologists seek to perpetuate strong returns.
In fact, the traditionally larger second run initially shaped up as the weakest in decades, forcing biologists to close the Russian to red salmon anglers on Aug. 12. More than half the return appeared after the shutdown.
"It's been a ghost town," guide Fred Telleem of Mystic River Fly Fishing said last month. "There hasn't been anybody in Cooper Landing since the first run."
Fewer anglers meant fewer prospects of bear-human encounters.
But not necessarily fewer bear-bear encounters.
Last month, a large boar took a hunk of flesh and fur out of a 2-year-old brown bear at the base of the Russian River Falls.
"That big guy went down and tore into him," said Dianne Owen, a manager at Alaska Recreation Management, the company that runs campgrounds for the U.S. Forest Service along the Russian River and operates the ferry that cross the Kenai River. "It was like a carpet-layer took a knife and ripped off a big section of fur. The young one went off for a few days but came back and is still around. If it doesn't get infected, he should be OK."
Ron and Carol McNaughton, managers of the Quartz Creek Campground there, noticed other wounds near the bear's front left shoulder, but said it had not been acting aggressively.
"It seems to be doing rather well," Owen said Thursday. "But it seems to be getting too familiar with people, too habituated. I just hope it doesn't end up a dead bear."

Sherman said in the telephone interview that his supporters would not be distracted by the confrontation.
"They are not focused on a video that makes good entertainment television for somebody who wants to do a show about congressmen behaving badly," he said.
Berman's campaign said the congressman would respond later Friday.
The veteran lawmakers were pulled into the same district after a voter-approved independent panel redrew California's political boundaries. They were the top vote-getters in the June primary and went on to the general election because of California's new primary system, which sends the top two finishers to the runoff regardless of party affiliation.
Their race for the 30th district seat is one of eight same-party congressional runoffs on California's November ballot.

Abbey Stadium
The Abbey Stadium is home to Cambridge United Football Club. The stadium has a capacity of 8,127, made up of terracing and seated areas.
I was here for the FA Cup 4th Round match, Cambridge United v Manchester United, on the 23rd January 2015. The match ended 0-0 and gave Cambridge a bumper pay day at the replay in Manchester. Cambridge lost the replay 3-0.
The away supporters were given the South Stand seats behind the goal. Getting into the ground was a bit crazy, with only one turnstile being opened up most of the time. I got into the turnstile backwards. Decent view once I got in though. Definitely a stadium of the old cow shed variety.

Cambridge United F.C.
Although footballs fan in Cambridge have to travel to London (or even further away) to enjoy a live match of the English Premier League, you can enjoy a good old-style football game of the Conference National (5th division from top) at Cambridge. Cambridge United is the City's top club and plays their home matches in the Abbey Stadium. Unfortunately, United's successful times belong to the past and now the club plays not that far above local rival Cambridge City. Nevertheless, it is a real football experience to watch one of Cambridge's home games. As of 2011, a place at the standing tribune - the Newmarket Road End - is available for 10 GBP (pay as you go at the entrance). Tickets for other stands are a little more expensive, but student and other discounts are available. The club, the fans, the owner of the stadium and the city have come to an agreement to build a new stadium. So hurry up and enjoy a match in this temple of football from the 1930s for as long as you can.
The match I went to see with some friends was a 2:1 against York City which was the first match CU won after a couple of rather crappy matches....
Want to go swimming?
There's a very handy swimming pool in Cambridge, right next to Parker's Piece near the city centre. Check the website for a timetable; an adult admission will cost you a fairly pricey 3 pounds 20p. There's also an attached sauna and steam room at extra cost.
In the summer there's also the option of an open air swimming pool on Jesus Green. It's best on a hot day as the water can be quite chilly...

The Abbey Stadium, Cambridge
Cambridge United Football Club play at the recently renamed Trade Recruitment Stadium (or TRS). They are currently in the fifth flight of English football, in the Conference National (or Blue Square Premier). CUFC's glory days were about 15 years ago, at which point they nearly reached the English Premier League for its inaugural season, but since then they have unfortunately been in decline. To be honest, the last few United matches I've seen have been dire, but the fans are quite good in the Newmarket Road end. It's mainly standing, but seats are available in the Family Stand. The ground has programmes, pies and hot drinks for sale.
Local semi professional football
When staying in Cambridge why not see some local football ? Cambridge City FC are located on Milton Road behind the Westbrooke centre offices, and play Tuesday nights and Saturdays from August to May.
It is a freindly club where you can buy a drink, get some food, and mix with the fans, players and officials after the game. Attendances are about 500 and it is a safe place from children. Established for 100 years in 2008 many celebrations are being organised. It is just 20 minutes walk from the City centre and 10 minutes from the river.

Go Punting!!
I was too scared to actually punt the boat...but it looked fun while everyone else i knew did it!! You see, I'm clumsy so I didn't want to risk falling in!! But the view from sitting down was really good too!! You get to see a lot of the Cambridge colleges, as Cambridge has a very student culture.
Punting is basically using a very large stick to maneouvre the gondola in the water. The procedure is to 'dig' the stick into the ground and push the gondola via that method, the angle you push it in is the opposite direction of movement....
I definately recommend it :)
Equipment: No gear is needed, they will provide everything!! Except good balance!! :)

How do you image Jérôme's day to day life? As his girlfriend, it is not easy every day...lots of MTB from dawn to dusk ! As soon as he wakes up, his smartphone is already in his hand : first social media check (we never know if somebody was riding during the night...). During the breakfast, he is not really here but focuses on reading the MTB magazines...and even after (in the toilet) ! After a "quick" session of internet (certainly he missed some videos in the morning), he prepares to go riding. Ready to climb the mountain to reach the highest point (if not, he will be disappointed from the rest of the day). Take a picture and ready to shred the trails ! After the ride, he always cleans his bike (why he doesn't clean the house as he cleans the bike?) and check if everything goes well (he tells me that he is a good mechanic..). Some rest to eat something, and I think he starts to shake (maybe not enough bike..). It is time to go riding the pump track! I think he gets to much energy so I tell him to rest a little bit, and guess what?His first choice is in front of the DH world cup replay with beer and friends... Sometimes it's a bit too much... And I am sure a lot of girls understand me But there is also a lot of good time living this life ! Pauline Filmed and Edited by Jérémie Reuiller in Alsace With Ben Cruz and Jérôme Clementz
