Well it looks like there's enough similarities between the three that they should manage to get something through. Then again this is Congress.

"require the VA to offer outside care to veterans who cannot be seen within
30 days."
I'm not opposed to that, but...
sounds pricey.
I don't see in the article how the Republicans plan to PAY for this. Don't they usually require some offset against other spending? Is this political bluster or are they saddling taxpayers with another Medicare Part D?

This sounds like it could end up costing a great deal of money. Not that I
disagree with the proposition that veterans should be cared for promptly.
However, we are going to have to more fully fund the VA if this kind of plan is
Wait.....The GOP is against higher funding for government responsibilities. How are they going to square this circle?

Yes, of course, it would be very pricey.
And that underscores the need to put a special tax on Republicans and other "Conservatives," both to pay for the already tremendous damage they have done to this country AND for wasting the nation's time and resources in considering hare-brained, unworkable schemes . . . designed to harm the political opposition while harming citizens even more.

They will be the Brooklyn Nets, Jay-Z will open the building
Sep 26, 2011, 10:14 AM EDT
It's became official Monday — next season they will be the Brooklyn Nets.
To open their new arena — the Barclay Center — hip hop mogul and minority Nets owner Jay-Z will do a series of concerts, something that also was announced on Monday, something the New York Daily News told us to expect. The odds that Beyoncé joins him and "Empire State of Mind" are performed are both pretty good.
The first concert is expected to be Sept. 28, 2012, followed by a few weeks of events before the Nets first preseason game in the building.
It's a common practice to have a musical act christen a building. For example, Bruce Springsteen opening the Staples Center in Los Angeles, then walked out in the first show and said there were too many luxury suites in the building.
Also worth noting, the Nets are selling "all-access passes" which include prime seats to all Nets games, free food, access to exclusive clubs and bar areas, plus first dibs on concert tickets and more. The price? Just $15,400 a pop, about what you have to pay at Madison Square Garden.
But it may be the only way to get those Jay-Z tickets.

DEFINITION of 'Group Carve-Out Plan'
A type of group term life insurance designed to appeal to well-paid executives by improving their employer-sponsored life insurance coverage. Under a group carve-out plan, the employee retains $50,000 of ordinary group term life insurance coverage, but the rest is provided by a universal life insurance policy. The group carve-out plan replaces the current group life insurance amount over $50,000 on the people the company wishes to carve out.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Group Carve-Out Plan'
Disadvantages of ordinary group term life insurance include its non-discrimination requirement, loss or reduction when the employee retires or leaves the company (or high expense to continue it), and imputed income costs for coverage over $50,000. The universal life policy improves the overall life insurance package in that it is portable and can create supplemental retirement income through its cash value. It is also not subject to non-discrimination rules, allowing employers to offer it only to the employees they care most about retaining, such as top executives.

Congress presses health insurers
House panel votes to repeal antitrust protection
WASHINGTON – Efforts to strip the health insurance industry of key antitrust protections got significant boosts Wednesday, when a House of Representatives committee voted to end the 64-year-old exemption and Senate Democratic leaders moved swiftly to act.
The House Judiciary Committee voted 20-9 to approve legislation to repeal the health insurers' exemption. They would lose current protections if they engaged in price fixing or similar behavior.
"No one on this committee believes that price fixing or carving up markets is a good thing, and the wide, bipartisan support for this bill's passage reflects this," said committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich.
In the Senate, Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said he'd offer an antitrust exemption repeal as part of the health care overhaul bill when the Senate begins debate on it, probably in the next few weeks.
Consumer groups are convinced that ending the exemption would prompt insurers to compete with one another more energetically. The current practice, said Jim Guest, the Consumers Union chairman, is "bad for consumers, bad for patients and bad for taxpayers."
The push to end the exemption will have the backing of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who appeared with Leahy at a Capitol news conference.
"The case for action is very simple," Reid said. "When companies are forced to compete with one another, that's what our free enterprise system is all about, and when you have one industry that has no referee … you never win the ballgame."
America's Health Insurance Plans, the industry trade group, fought back quickly.
"Health insurance is one of the most significantly regulated areas of the economy," Karen Ignagni, president and chief executive officer, wrote Wednesday in a letter to Leahy and Conyers.
"AHIP and our members stand on the side both of competition and of meaningful reform," she said.
Insurance has been largely under state regulation since an 1868 Supreme Court decision ruling that insurance isn't interstate commerce and therefore not subject to federal regulation.
The high court reversed that finding in 1945, but according to the Congressional Research Service, state regulation was so well established that Congress granted a federal antitrust exemption to those engaged in the "business of insurance," leaving most authority with the states.
Several factors have combined to make this year's push for change significant, including broader scrutiny of the financial services industry and efforts to revamp regulatory law.

Bizarre but True - Not in Archives
Jun 1, 2007
Dear Dr. Bob:
A month ago I had a potential exposure receptive vaginal sex without ejaculation. The next day, I contacted a clinic, but was told PEP was not recommended, but a 3 month test would be. Two weeks later, I got my period (at least Im not pregnant), but, and here comes the bizarre part, my dog got into the garbage can and ate a fairly fresh (approximately hour after changing) sanitary pad. Now, I know dogs cannot contract HIV, but what worries me about this incident is that the dog has a habit of licking my son smack on the mouth, and I am frightened that this may have happened immediately after the pad incident. Would this constitute a risky exposure? Two weeks after this happened, my son came down with a febrile illness. His doctor ran a CBC and feels his illness is bacterial, but I did not tell her of the incident. Am I freaking over nothing, or have I placed my son in danger?
Response from Dr. Frascino
So you are wondering if Fido's fetish for munching on used Kotex pads and then licking your son on the mouth might have put him at risk for HIV. Nah, it might qualify him for a spot on David Letterman's "Stupid Pet Tricks" segment, but it's definitely not an HIV risk.
Good luck with your three-month test! Consider getting Fido a rawhide bone!
Dr. Bob

Host takes the candidate for an informal dinner the night before the interview day. The day starts with about half an hour long overview about the company from human resources. This is followed by an hour long presentation by the candidate on his/her thesis work. The candidate is then escorted to a series of half hour long interviews by 4-5 senior technical folks before finally being interviewed by a director. An hour long facility tour and "how we work" session" is held with the host and a recent hire. Usually, all the interviewers get together that evening itself to give their nays and yeas.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
17 Mar 2013 08:34 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria
It has been two years since the start of the Syrian conflict. What began with peaceful demonstrations in the streets of Deraa has morphed into a nationwide conflict with sectarian, ethnic and regional overtones.
"We are two years into this, it's stalemate. Refugees are flowing out at a very high number, about a quarter million this last month, there's a million outside already. We're going to see tons more refugees. Damascus could very well look like Aleppo in a year's time - largely destroyed with whole neighbourhoods completely flattened. Assad is not giving up."
- Joshua Landis, a Syria expert
In that time, tens of thousands of Syrians have been killed and more than a million forced to leave their homes.A regime that has run Syria for decades is fighting for its survival and in no mood to compromise. And on the rebels side, a group of disparate forces are united by the common goal of defeating the rule of Bashar al-Assad.It is an uprising that was inspired by the Arab Spring and is now its most violent conflict, threatening to destabilise an already turbulent Middle East. It is a situation with no end in sight - and its impact is likely to last for generations. So what impact has this war had so far? The United Nations estimates some 70,000 people have been killed in Syria in the last 24 months. About three million others are without homes - essentially refugees in their own country.
So far, at least a million people have escaped to safety beyond Syria's borders, to neighbouring countries like Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. And it is thought that number could be much higher.
"We need to not lose sight of the fact that this was a populist uprising - to uproot a dictatorial regime - that was faced with the utmost brutality and Bashar al-Assad seems like not giving up, however, we're not giving up either on our rights to transform Syria into a democratic, civil state. We're optimistic about where we are heading. I think the balance of power on the ground is shifting and I think that Bashar al-Assad will get that message."
- Yaser Tabbara, legal advisor for the Syrian National Coalition
Besides the loss of life, the war in Syria has also taken a toll on the economy and infrastructure.The economy is severely affected and finding out just how much has been destroyed will be difficult. But it is clear that two years of fighting has set back the country considerably.In 2010 before the uprising, Syria's gross domestic product was valued at about $57.5bn. Now it has fallen to just under $30bn - a drop of about 35 percent.The Syrian pound (LS) has lost about half its value. It used to trade at about LS47 to the dollar, it now goes for around 85, and well above 90 on the black market.And in terms of infrastructure, homes, roads and bridges across Syria will need rebuilding. One in five schools is damaged or destroyed and one in every three hospitals can no longer provide services.So, where is the Syrian conflict heading and what are the prospects for its end? To assess the current situation, the possible outcomes and next steps, Inside Syria, with presenter Hazem Sika, is joined by guests: Yaser Tabbara; legal advisor for the Syrian National Coalition, and the Syrian opposition coalition in the United States; Joshua Landis, a Syria expert and director of Center of the Middle East Studies, and associate professor at the University of Oklahoma; and Danny Makki, the co-founder of the Syrian Youth in Britain - a group of Syrians advocating democratic change through dialogue.
"I think when you discuss the Syrian crisis now ... in terms of violence, there is a balanced playing field. The violence which is being perpetrated by the opposition groups, the rebels, is almost on the same scale. There is an element of strategic parity on the ground. I'd just like to say that Damascus is not going to turn into Aleppo ... Damascus is actually relatively safe, internally speaking, there's conflict on the outskirts but the centre of Damascus is relatively safe."
Danny Makki, the co-founder of the Syrian Youth in Britain

I'm Just Sayin'.....
by Shilynne Cole
posted Nov 4 2009 12:40PM
A Chinese philosopher (Lao Tzu) once said "Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love." That quote speaks to me because it costs us absolutely nothing to be kind to one another, but for some reason we choose the opposite. It costs us nothing to be happy, but we choose not to be. It costs us nothing to count our blessings and focus on positive things, but for some reason we choose the opposite. If everything in life is a choice, why not CHOOSE happiness? It's tougher to do....BUT, if your count your blessings, you'll soon find that you'll have more blessings to count....I'm just saying.

Monitoring Glucose Levels and HbA1c
The HbA1c is an important tool to incorporate into the inpatient evaluation. It is now accepted as a diagnostic test for diabetes, and values can supplement patient clinical history in determining the effectiveness of pre-hospitalization treatment regimens. The test can help to identify some of the 25 percent of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) that had previously been undiagnosed and recognition of DM while inpatient may reduce their risk of readmission.1,17 Since it is relatively easy and inexpensive, it has become an "opt out" test on many order sets, is recommended in some guidelines and testing it on all patients with hyperglycemia without a value documented within the last 60 days is a required component for Joint Commission Certification in Advanced Inpatient Diabetes Care.13
Guidelines recommend that all patients have blood glucose testing upon admission and those with a BG value >140mg/dL have ongoing testing for at least 24-48 h.13 POC glucose meters are currently the method most widely used for monitoring glucose because of the rapid turnaround and need to make timely adjustments to therapy. However, there are a wide number of potential issues (shock, hypoxia, dehydration, extremes in hematocrit, elevated bilirubin and triglycerides) impacting the accuracy.18,19 Additionally, issues with some monitors and lack of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for critical care or hospital use have also been raised.20,21 Outside of these analytical issues, pre-analytical issues with site selection and interface with results for the correct patient being available to caregivers are important influencers on the quality of care being provided. Incorporating meter quality control and the processes for testing and recording values are important components for multidisciplinary committees to consider. Procedures aligned with The Joint Commission (TJC) must be established to assure ongoing quality control of the monitors, process of patient testing and recording the results. Additionally, with such threats to valid POC test results, clinical condition should guide treatment with the use of confirmatory venous samples when in question. Hospitalized patients require frequent testing due to the fluctuations and many variables influencing blood glucose. Testing is generally recommended to be performed before meals and at bedtime in patients who are eating or receiving bolus tube feeds13 although recent studies have called into question the value of the bedtime value.22 In patients who are NPO or receiving continuous enteral or parenteral nutrition, glucose monitoring is performed every four to six hours depending on whether short-acting or rapid-acting analog insulin is used. For patients on intravenous insulin, the ADA and AACE recommend hourly blood glucose monitoring except for patients with stable blood glucose within the target range, for whom monitoring can be performed up to every two hours.
Critically Ill
In 2001, van den Berghe published results demonstrating significant improvements in mortality in surgical ICU patients treated with IV insulin therapy targeted at normalizing blood glucose.23 Following this, numerous specialty organizations published recommendations targeting "very tight" glycemic control and many hospitals implemented infusion protocols to normalize blood glucose values in their critically ill patients.24,25 However, subsequent trials had mixed results and finally NICE SUGAR ultimately demonstrated increased mortality and hypoglycemia with "very tight"/normalized blood glucose versus moderate control.26, 27 Revised guidelines now recommend that insulin therapy be initiated if the blood glucose is >180 mg/dL and then maintained between 140 and 180 mg/dL in critically ill patients. Glucose targets somewhat lower than these may be appropriate in selected patients although strong evidence is lacking. The Society of Critical Care Medicine guidelines continue to recommend a target of 100-150 mg/dL but emphasize avoiding hypoglycemia.28 For these purposes, critical illness generally refers to patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation, those requiring pressor support and patients with multisystem organ failure.
Special Populations
For post-operative cardiovascular surgery, The Joint Commission's Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) updates from January 2014 set targets of blood glucose levels in the 18-24 hour window after anesthesia end time of <180mg/dL; but these SCIP glycemic metrics are currently on hold as of early 2015 with new metrics still to be determined at the time of this publication.29
Non-Critically Ill
With very few prospective, RCT data for establishing specific guidelines in non-critically ill patients, the ADA/AACE recommendations in 2009 are based on clinical experience and judgment.13
Hypoglycemia has associated risks demonstrated in various studies, and strategies are necessary to avoid it. Studies have used variable definitions for hypoglycemia but the ADA has defined hypoglycemia as a blood glucose level <70 mg/dL and severe hypoglycemia as <40 mg/dL.30
Inpatient hyperglycemia is best managed with insulin only. Insulin works reliably, and doses can be rapidly adjusted depending on changes in glucose levels and food intake. Oral agents should be discontinued during acute illness in most circumstances.13 Most are associated with some risks and are limited in their ability to be rapidly adjusted to achieve goals.31, 32
- are NPO on no nutritional replacement
- are on new or tapering steroids
- hypoglycemic risk factors including but not limited to end-stage liver or kidney disease, -
elderly patients or those with an unknown drug overdose
The general recommendations for dosing subcutaneous insulin are derived from published studies and current ADA/AACE and Endocrine Society guidelines. They generally involve:
Following resolution of their indication for insulin infusion, patients will need to be transitioned to subcutaneous insulin. Patients with type 1 DM, on insulin prior to admission to the hospital and those requiring insulin infusion rates more than two units/hour, will need to be transitioned to basal/bolus insulin regimens. The average infusion rate over the preceding six to eight hours is then multiplied by 24 to determine the predicted requirement for the next day. Given that patients are likely to be continuing to improve and have reduced insulin requirements, that daily estimate is further reduced to 60-80 percent. This value can be used as the total daily requirement if they were receiving significant nutritional support in the ICU (TPN or tube feeds) or the basal amount with nutritional layered over time as oral intake increases.35-40
Preparation for transition to the outpatient setting is an important goal of inpatient diabetes management and begins with the hospital admission. The HbA1C is an important laboratory test that should be ordered in nondiabetic hyperglycemic patients and diabetic patients who have not had a recent test. An HbA1c value >6.5% is diagnostic of diabetes, 5.7-6.4% is "pre-diabetes" and one over 9 percent has been recommended by some to indicate the need for newly aggressive treatment strategies.41 Modification of the outpatient regimen should be done with careful planning and assessment of patient and facility-specific resources as well as with communication with the outpatient provider.42 There are several published algorithms for diabetes treatment that can be used to guide such decisions but it is most important to factor in individual patient needs.47 All patients with diabetes should receive teaching in diabetes self-management education focused on survival skills.13
Communication to the outpatient provider regarding the education provided, relevant lab values including the HbA1c and medication changes is essential for patient safety and a requirement of The Joint Commission's Inpatient Diabetes Disease Certification.

Malta - Last active: 3 months ago - Tests: 10 - Portfolio: 2
In my heart I'm an algorithmic problem solver with a strong background in C# and C++, and an university education that emphasized Computer Graphics, Computer Vision and Scientific Computing. My strong skills in algorithmic and software design moved me to the back-end side of every team I worked in. There I concentrated on object orientation, design patterns, data structures, run time analyses, and efficient test strategies. However, I also enjoy user-centered front-end development (C#/Winforms, Android, C#/ASP.net, PHP, C++/vtk/Paraview, C++/Qt). I'm currently strengthening my presence especially in these areas, with my current focus on ASP.NET and Android.
Freelance translator and programmer.
United Kingdom - Last active: 1 month ago - Tests: 4
I enjoy playing with LaTeX and have manually installed a LuaLaTeX installation, component by component and line of configuration by line of configuration. LaTeX is my preferred tool for most kinds of document production, and I've set test papers, reports and sales literature in it. I can produce source files which use either UTF-8 font-encoding and calls to the operating system for opentype/truetype, or which use the traditional escapes and the NFSS. I enjoy writing in C# and have designed a program that loads properties from different tables in MySQL, and manipulates them conditionally (based on the values of relevant fields in the MySQL table that drives the program) following the biochemical model that I am using. My program then writes the resulting data to CSV, where I have a script upload it to MySQL and also run Gnuplot. I can manually group and sub-total data in a spreadsheet of hundreds of thousands of lines, and, of course, construct multi-worksheet models using spreadsheets. I would consider myself to have an expert user's knowledge of Microsoft Word. I have used fields to properly set out documents, and also to construct templates where the user need only enter variable values into a prompt. I have been playing with HTML since I was about 14, and am easily able to hand-code it, and to apply CSS to it using id and class attributes. Ich habe Arikel zu Englisch von Italianisch, für einen Möbelkonzern und eine Telefonfirma, unter Freiberuflichaufträge, erfolgreich übersetzen, obwohl mein haupt sprachlich Projekt mein Deutsch erweitern ist. Mein Deutch ist praktisch aber kann ich nicht die Sprache ohne ein Wörterbuch sprechen, und mein Gehörbegriffsvermögen ist furchtbar. Ich habe, jedoch, eine strenge, fortgeschrittene Anfängers Lesenerkenntniss entwickelt: die Berner Zeitung ist meine haupte Quelle über internationalen Angelegenheiten und Wirtschaftnachrichten, und lese ich gern die gelegentlichen Roman (ich empfehle stark "Vermesserung der Welt"). [I have successfully translated articles into English from Italian for a furniture business and a telecom company under freelance contracts, although my main linguistic interest is improving my German. My German is functional but I cannot speak the language without a dictionary, and my aural comprehension is terrible. I have, however, developed a strong intermediate reading knowledge; the Berner Zeitung is my main source on international current affairs and business news, and I enjoy reading the occasional novel (I would highly recommend 'Vermesserung der Welt').]
Mathematician, Programmer and Translator
Germany - Last active: 3 days ago - Tests: 18 - Portfolio: 5
I just finished my studies of mathematics with focus on physics and computer sciences in Iceland. Next to my studies, I have been programming already for several years on a freelance basis and provide professional translation services. The programs that I created so far mostly are GUI applications under Windows, as well as web-based applications using PHP and javascript. In addition to these experiences, I have also intensive knowledge of C/C++, Matlab, R, and various other programming languages. You can see some of my programs in my portfolio and on my website. In addition to being a programmer, I have also several years of experience as a translator. As a German native speaker, I mostly translate from English to German, and occasionally from German to English. I have lived abroad for more than three years now, and therefore know a couple of other languages as well. These include French, Icelandic, Swedish, Dutch and Bulgarian. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, Tom Schiller
