Like many of you I am a multi-crafter. I crochet, sew, knit,
spin, and even find a little time for scrapbooking, sculpting, and DIY
upcycling (recycling an old item into something new and different). And
some of my favorite craft projects are quick and easy little gifts.
With just 10 days until Mother's Day, my mind is
buzzing with ideas for crafty Mother's Day gifts to celebrate the
mothers in my life. You're probably doing the same, trying to find the
perfect gift for your mother and grandmothers,
adopted mothers, and the many mothers around us, be
they your sisters or friends. I found a number of possibilities right
here in the Interweave store.
Tunisian purl stitch, Tunisian simple stitch, Tunisian knit stitch, and more. If you haven't tried Tunisian crochet yet, don't wait another week. We've created nine new Tunisian crochet technique videos to walk you through the process.

The Art of the Comeback: The Case For Newt's Continued Campaign
February 03, 2012
The irresistible human impulse is to find meaning amid the chaos of the cosmos. But some external events defy rational categorization. So it was with Thursday afternoon as Donald Trump endorsed Mitt Romney—an event so bizarre that the tight-lipped Romney was forced to admit, "There are some things you can't imagine in life.
Coulter, Romneycare, And The GOP Crackup
February 02, 2012
With Mitt Romney re-establishing himself, after the unpleasantness in South Carolina, as the Republicans' de facto nominee, I thought it would be fun to offer some sort of prize--say, a bronze replica of the 1939 Molotov-Von Ribbentrop pact--to the first Fox News personality to endorse Romney's absurd claim that Romneycare (good) was entirely different from Obamacare (bad). I never dreamed that Ann Coulter would beat me to the punch. She's never been much good at playing with the other children.
Romney Took Florida, But the Real Prize Was Sheldon Adelson
January 31, 2012
In that moment just before New Hampshire, when it was briefly possible to imagine Jon Huntsman fighting deep into the primaries, New York magazine's John Heilemann made an astute observation. He pointed out that Huntsman's real audience on election night wouldn't be the country or the voters in other early states or even the political media. It would consist of exactly one person: Jon Huntsman Sr., the billionaire chemical magnate who, if the mood struck him, could take out his checkbook and completely upend the race. "An investment of, say, $10 million — a rounding error on the Huntsman Sr.
Newtonian Theory, Right And Wrong
January 31, 2012
Things are shaping up predictably enough in Florida today that I will venture my punditry in prebuttal form, like those congressmen who put out their responses to the State of the Union address long before it's been given. My aim now is not so much to look ahead to what comes after Florida as to correct some misinterpretations of the 2012 primary roller-coaster that I've seen floating around in recent days.
Newt Gingrich's Awkward Ties To Saul Alinsky
January 31, 2012
Newt Gingrich is, in all likelihood, heading towards a loss tonight in Florida. It wasn't so long ago that the Speaker was riding high off a double-digit victory in South Carolina, where he declared that "the centerpiece" of the campaign was "American exceptionalism versus the radicalism of Saul Alinsky." Since Gingrich has promised to take his campaign all the way to the convention regardless of tonight's results, we can expect to hear a lot more about Saul Alinsky. What was Alinsky's legacy? A 1998 paper in Theological Studies argues that Alinsky played a central role in the history of U.S.
Warning To Democrats: Romney Is a Stronger Candidate Than You Think
January 30, 2012
Mitt Romney's strong performance in the second Florida debate deprived Newt Gingrich of his last chance to maintain the boost he got from his South Carolina victory. Unless something significant happens before January 31, Romney will beat Gingrich in the Sunshine State by a double-digit margin and regain his standing as the front-runner for the Republican nomination. After a quiet February, he'll deploy his edge in money, organization, and preparation to defeat Gingrich the way Grant defeated Lee—by inexorably grinding him down.
Doing It For the Gipper: Why Old People Could Be Newt Gingrich's Saving Grace
January 30, 2012
During the 1960 West Virginia primary, John Kennedy campaigned in tandem with Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. to claim that he—and not liberal stalwart Hubert Humphrey—was the rightful heir to FDR. The biopic shown at the 1992 Democratic Convention showcased difficult-to-locate footage of Bill Clinton shaking hands with JFK at the White House in 1963 as an Arkansas delegate to Boy's Nation. Even by these bygone standards of the-torch-is-passed iconography, it is hard to top the battle for Ronald Reagan's legacy being waged in the Florida primary.
Would Newt Out-Debate Obama? It Wouldn't Matter Anyway
January 26, 2012
Back in October, I went up to Cambridge, Massachusetts to watch the eighth Republican primary debate of the season with Mark McKinnon, the Republican media strategist who had served as debate coach for George W. Bush, John McCain, and Sarah Palin. I was interested in McKinnon's professional assessment of a Republican field whose succession of frontrunners, from Tim Pawlenty to Herman Cain, had nearly all been made or unmade by debate performances. At the time, Rick Perry was hurtling toward the abyss, Cain was bafflingly ascendant, and Mitt Romney was performing as advertised.
The Guy Who Fires You
January 25, 2012
Randy Lavallee is a proud member of the American working class. A New Hampshire resident, he works as a calibration inspector for a jet-engine plant just across the state line in Maine. Four years ago, the plant went through a downsizing that resulted in the layoffs of one-sixth of its 1,600 workers. After the cuts, Lavallee told me, the "CEO and management got big bonuses." I met Lavallee, 58, recently in Rochester, New Hampshire, where he lives.
The Inheritance
January 25, 2012
It's not quite right to say that the hundreds of millions of dollars Mitt Romney amassed as a private equity baron were the cause of his South Carolina drubbing. But they didn't exactly help, either. Newt Gingrich trounced the former Massachusetts governor among just about every demographic group that might nurse a grudge against a slick quarter-billionaire.

Dear Kelly,
I had a pool installed in my back yard because I hate going to the community pool where all the big kids jump on my 5 year-old. The minute it was finished and filled all the surrounding neighbors asked when the water will be warm enough to swim, then added that they're excited to have a pool right next door. How can I politely tell them they're not invited- while remaining on friendly terms?
The Pool Hog
Dear T.P.H.,
I don't blame you for not wanting to extend an open invitation to your pool for the surrounding neighbors. There's a huge liability involved with anyone setting foot on your property, and swimming pools are an insurance company's nightmare. Can you imagine if you allowed them to come and go as they please and then someone drowns while you're not even home? You'd be financial liable and you'd feel responsible, so don't go there. Don't even through a pool party thinking they'd be okay swimming in it once then going to the community pool for the rest of the Summer. Once they get a taste of paradise next door, they'll be nagging you about coming over all the time.
Just say NO!

On iPad I cannot set a contact directly for a task.
Hello, unfortunately I have not received a solution to my problem until today. I myself can not answer the question: how can I assign a contact to a task in Todoist for iPad? works for me only on the iPhone.
See my earlier posts.
Regards ...
All responses
on the iPad, I can assign a contact to a task only if this contact has previously been assigned on todoist on the iPhone. a new employee I can not select and assign on the iPad, although the iPad and iPhone contactlists are completely synchronized.
If you're referring to a past report, could you please link to the related thread, it would be very helpful and allow us to see what has already been tried to solve it.
In general, the process to share a project and assign tasks should be the same, please tell me - does this happen when you try to share a project with someone or assign someone who's already in this project to a task?
Best regards,
App crashes whenever I try to share a project with someone who is not yet in this project but just in the list of "Zuweisen".
Thank you for the confirmation - that's indeed a known issue, we've fixed it in the new version which should be available soon (it's under approval by Apple). Sorry for the inconvenience.
Best regards,
Thanks for the information. I expect the new version.

A few years ago it was someone's birthday at work. They brought in a cake to share and invited me to have a piece. I only ate one piece-but I secretly wished I could take the whole thing home with me-it was that good.
I came right home, found the recipe online, and I've been making the cake ever since. I recently made one for Granny's birthday and thought I'd share the recipe with you.
It's the kind of recipe I love: it's super easy, tastes amazing, and looks impressive-you know like you slaved all day to make it.
I've heard the cake called a few different things-but I'm calling it the Chocolate Candy Bar Cake.
- 1 chocolate cake mix (preferably swiss chocolate or milk chocolate)
- 1 box of instant vanilla pudding
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup oil
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1 8oz. pack cream cheese
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 12oz. cool whip
- 3 Hershey bars (chopped or grated)
Add all the cake ingrediants into a bowl and mix well; pour batter into 3 greased and floured 9 inch round cake pans. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes or till done.
When I first started making this cake-I only used two 9 inch cake pans and it still turned out great. Using 3 layers allows you to use more icing-and make a more dramatic cake-especially once you slice it and see the different layers.
Once cake rounds are done-allow to cool slightly and remove from pans to cool completely.
While cakes are cooling-make the frosting by mixing cream cheese and xxx sugar well.
Add cool whip to bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
Chop or grate candy bars. I didn't have any candy bars on hand for Granny's cake-but I did have a giant Hershey's Kiss left over from Valentines-it worked just as well.
Add chocolate to frosting and mix well.
Frost cake. Slice. Pour glass of milk. Eat.

Donald Nixon passed away peacefully on June 29, 2009 after a long illness. He was 75. Predeceased by his wife of 51 years, Mary; he leaves behind his son and the many friends, acquaintances, colleagues and students he got to know during a teaching career that spanned three continents and four decades, in roles that ranged from physics teacher, science department head, and high school principal to university instructor. He was, from his first day to his last, an honest, caring and honorable man, slow to anger, quick to forgiveness, friendly, generous and kind. He will be remembered as a devoted husband, a caring father, a loyal friend, and a gifted educator. He will be missed, always. His son wishes to thank everyone for the comfort and support they have provided during these difficult days.
A memorial celebration of a life well-lived will he held at MCCALL BROS. FLORAL CHAPEL, Johnson & Vancouver Streets, Victoria, BC, on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 at 3:00 pm. Donations may be made to the charity of your choice in lieu of other tributes.

Doing regular, mild forms of exercise helps you respect your body no matter what your size by making you aware of its wonderful construction. It is a good feeling to appreciate the skin you're in instead of focusing on size, something I hadn't done for wwwaaayyy too long.
I can find the "silver lining" in any situation... and when we struggle with our body images it's important to stop and make sure we put the right 'spin" on the things we are doing. If you have the RIGHT positive attitude it's almost impossible to fail.
I visited MANY gyms and health clubs, but always felt intimidated and overwhelmed by the skinny fit people, and well, I'm not. I felt like I would always be judged, and my body image was even worse when I was exercising than when I wasn't. 39 However, I recently joined a YMCA club near me, and the members are all shapes and sizes and ability levels. I feel right at home and workout at my place without feeling judged or uncomfortable. 104
There are so many factors involved in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. And I now realize that maintaining a positive body image is one of them. Dress for success every day! Wear make up, do your hair, forget the baggy clothes! If you look good you feel better. It really helps!

Digital photography provides the wonderful ability to capture high-resolution large-size photographs, with stunning color and rich detail. The only problem: where to put these photographs, which can have file sizes well over a megabyte each. Floppies can't stand up to the task of holding even a few of these high-quality pictures.
Enter PowerShot and the CompactFlash card
Each PowerShot camera comes with a CompactFlash card, like a little digital hard drive, which can hold up to 8MB worth of images. That's more storage space then a handful of floppies. And you can get CompactFlash cards in sizes from 2MB cards all the way up to the IBM microdrive, at 340MB. It's like loading 45 rolls of 35mm film all at once. With PowerShot and the CompactFlash card you never need to worry about film or space again. You know you can rely on Canon to deliver the rich high-quality photograph you want, and you always have room to store it. PowerShot makes room for your photographs in the digital present while making space for you in the digital future.

Most religious conservative politicians who get caught in a sex scandal make Adam their friend. Because he took the bite of that apple, long before there were hookers or F.B.I. stings, he insured that we were "all sinners." Christ came along later to absolve us of our sins but didn't change the basic human nature.
Though they never quite say it, a politician who invokes the "I am a sinner" language is subtly implying: a) there's nothing especially unusual about what I did and therefore I needn't be punished severely, if at all. b) "Let he who is free of sin cast the first stone," which is to say, don't judge me harshly, since you're just as bad.
Jesus never suggested that being cleansed of spiritual sin meant you were exempted from temporal punishment.
The problem with this is that Jesus never suggested that being cleansed of spiritual sin meant you were exempted from temporal punishment. A murderer who accepts Christ might still get to heaven, but he doesn't get sprung from Leavenworth.
Mark Sanford complicated matters by adding a new biblical metaphor: David, who became a great King, despite performing one of the most odious acts in the Bible, sending Uriah to the front to be killed, so he could snag Bathsheba. The message: you can behave horribly and still have a good political career.
Rabbi David Wolpe argues that this analogy is "as inapt as it is self-serving." Far from being given a pass, he notes, King David was condemned by the Prophet Nathan for abuse of power. David begged mercy from God, who ultimately allowed for David to continue in leadership.
But Rabbi Wolpe points out that David was operating in a theocracy, under which God is the ultimate Decider. In a democracy, though, that power of forgiveness rests with voters. Unless Mr. Sanford can offer substantial proof — perhaps a YouTube video? — that God is thinking of him in the same way he did David, voters may be more inclined to side with the Prophet Nathan.

Rate Dr. Jeevindra S. Rana
Dr. Jeevindra S. Rana's Ratings
Dr Rana is a nice man, very knowledgeable, and seems to be sincere. His staff are mostly related to him however it is the most poorly run medical office I have ever experienced. The waiting room is always overcrowded and appointments are at least 45 minutes late at least 75% of the time. On numerous occasions I have called and asked for prescriptions or documents to be sent which never arrived, only after many frustrating phone calls. I know they have lied to me on several occasions and I do not trust them. For this reason alone I cannot recommend Dr Rana to anyone.

Dr. Rana is an excellent Dr. He is knowledgable, approachable and truely interested in his patients wellbeing. He is always open to discussing any issues and is more than willing to explain anything you ask about. He is normally very punctual, the only exceptions being the occasional emergency, which leads me to believe that should I have a serious problem, then others would just have to wait! Just the way I want it. Dr. Rana's staff is wonderful to deal with, frendly and efficient at the same time. I highly recommend Dr. Rana.

Termite Paradeby Joshua Mohr
"Mired (rhymes with tired) is a woman with rather poor taste in men. One former boyfriend drunkenly urinated in her closet. Another, a dreadlocked white boy, drunkenly shaved her head. Anybody notice a trend here? When she finally met somebody who would tolerate her self-destructive behavior, she dumped him because she didn't want to attend his drum circle. She doesn't hold up much better with her current beau, Derek, who, after enduring an embarrassing drunken rant, drops Mired down a flight of stairs in a moment of blind fury." Gerry Donaghy, Powells.com (read the entire Powells.com review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Termite Parade is the second novel from San Francisco Chronicle best-selling author Joshua Mohr. It is a mature look at the honest side of human interaction.
Derek drops his black-out drunk and verbally abusive girlfriend, Mired, down a flight of stairs in their apartment building on purpose, and then calls his estranged twin brother Frank to help clean up the mess.
Mired thinks she fell and blames herself; Frank knows better; Derek, ravaged with guilt, plays along before ditching town altogether.
Termite Parade examines how Derek, Mired, and Frank cope with the incident, and, more deeply, the concepts of how we love one another; whether individuals are capable of change or whether we simply are who we are; and how capable we are, despite being an extremely intelligent and evolved species, of being savage animals.
"Told by three narrators, this is the fabulously grim if perhaps too intentionally murky tale of Mired ('pronounced like the verb'); her boyfriend, Derek; and his twin brother, Frank, as they fumble through the aftermath of Mired's strangely fateful drunken tumble down a flight of stairs. 'There were days I felt like the bastard daughter of a mnage trois between Fyodor Dostoyevski, Sylvia Plath, and Eeyore,' Mired says, and this could be said about the rest of the misanthropic trio as they spend the totality of the book trying to uncover truths about themselves and one another. Each has a chance to share parts of the story, and occasionally the brothers chime in together with childhood memories, which allows the story to lift itself, somewhat, from the confusion and disorder shared by the narrators. The prose, meanwhile, is oddly lovely, considering the characters' dark, boozy, mostly joyless worlds. As Derek grows more depressed and Frank has a falling out with his brother's girlfriend, the group moves toward a frenzied climax that calls for a tumbler of whiskey. (July)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Mohr's prose roams with chimerical liquidity." Boston's Weekly Dig
"[A] wry and unnerving story of bad love gone rotten. [Mohr] has a generous understanding of his characters, whom he describes with an intelligence and sensitivity that pulls you in. This is no small achievement." The New York Times Book Review
"Similar to Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment: the most crucial action serves as a portal to and wellspring for the various psychologies of its characters. But Mohr's storytelling is so absorbing that Termite Parade does not read like an analytical rumination; if he is examining the very nature of these characters under a microscope, he at least lets the specimens speak for themselves." San Francisco Chronicle
A mature second novel from the best-selling author of Some Things That Meant the World to Me.

Setback for Spectra Pipeline Opponents as State Judge Throws Out Lawsuit
Opponents have tried both legal challenges to the pipeline and less legal challenges, like this protester who climbed onto digging equipment to halt construction last autumn.
Eric Walton
The juggernaut that is the NJ-NY Expansion Project, familiarly known as the Spectra Pipeline, has crushed another obstacle, bringing the operation of a 30-inch-diameter transmission line full of highly-pressurized explosive natural gas in the heart of the West Village one step closer to reality.
Opponents of the pipeline had challenged the legality of the pipeline in state court, alleging that the trustees of the Hudson River Park Trust broke the law when they allowed the Spectra energy giant to run the pipeline through the park.
But in a recently released ruling, New York Supreme Court Judge Eileen Rakower threw the suit out, finding that whatever state laws might be involved are trumped by the authority of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to approve pipeline construction.
"FERC has exclusive jurisdiction to determine the location of interstate natural gas pipelines.... and any challenges to the right of way approval by the trust must be brought in the federal court of appeals.
Federal law preempts state and local agency environmental review requirements for proposed interstate pipelines."
In short, the judge ruled, if anyone wants to raise a legal challenge to the pipeline construction, they have to do it in federal court.
Fortunately for pipeline opponents, they're doing that too, appealing FERC's decision in Federal Appeals Court in Washington DC. That suit is being brought by the Sierra Club, Food and Water Watch, and Jersey City.
Here's Judge Rakower's ruling dismissing the state case:

ON THE MARK: We will soon be paying a new road tax
Last year, Collier County voted to implement a new program for ticketing cars entering intersections after traffic lights turn red. Red light running is dangerous and individuals intentionally violating such laws should be caught and prosecuted. Unfortunately, the program being implemented in Collier County has nothing to do with protection of the public but has everything to do with the one thing county government cannot seem to get enough of… money.
Drivers who insist on breaking the law should be caught and forced to face whatever penalties are in place for their infractions. Thought there are some who are reluctant to follow the rules, their actions must not become the basis for government to remove our rights to due process through our courts.
Under the red light program soon to be operational, a camera simply photographs a license plate, the photo of which is then read by a non-law enforcement individual, the car and address are matched and the car owner is sent a fine. This program fines the car owner, not the driver. It does not matter who was driving the car or for what reason, the fine is issued to the registered owner and thou shall pay the government.
There is no court of law to which you can appeal. Any challenge you may wish to mount is addressed via the code enforcement ordinance procedures for a hearing instead of our courts. This is a neat little trick to make it even more difficult for citizens to question their fines, which of course is the intent of the entire program.
Not every jurisdiction recognizes the red light camera technique as acceptable, the State Department of Transportation being one of them. Any intersection within state roads will not have these cameras. The following is a list of the areas where cameras will be posted in Collier County:
• Golden Gate Parkway and Collier Blvd
• Pine Ridge and Collier Blvd
• Pine Ridge and Logan
• Pine Ridge and Livingston
• Pine Ridge and Airport Road
• Airport Road and Immokalee Road
• Airport Road and Davis Blvd
• Livingston Road and
Vanderbilt Beach Road
• Livingston Road and Immokalee Road
Basically four general road corridors -- Collier Blvd (the portion controlled by Collier County); Pine Ridge Road, Airport Road and Livingston Road.
There is a lot of money to be made when citizens can be ticketed outside our judicial system and much of it is made by the companies who provide the cameras and equipment. In some municipalities, fines are split between the company providing the camera and the municipality. Private companies are reaping a windfall at our expense.
There is little doubt when citizens realize certain intersections are now spying on them, they will increase their use of the brake pedal, even law-abiding folks who are simply afraid they may inadvertently cross that line at the wrong moment will change their driving patterns. At most intersections, the yellow light is far too short, especially when the posted speed limits and distance of travel are taken into consideration. After red light cameras are installed, this has resulted in a statistically-proven increase in rear-end collisions that undermines the argument that this program is needed for safety. Statistics do show a reduction in red light running, which is a good result, but that benefit does not outweigh the other negative issues of increased collisions and our loss of an appeal process within the court system.
As may be expected, there are a plethora of new products on the market that claim to make a license plate unreadable to cameras, most such products are ineffective. A lot of money will be made when drivers who hope to offset the camera's ability by purchasing gimmicks to avoid detection.
The program will bring in millions of dollars under the guise of "fines" for running red lights. In actuality, this is nothing more than another road tax. When our bureaucrats come around this year whining for a property tax increase, we should remember that with all these additional schemes to extract money, they certainly do not need any tax increases.

CMS is committed to monitoring the quality of care provided by Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs). To better evaluate this care, CMS, in collaboration
with the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), launched the first Medicare managed care outcomes measure in the Healthcare Effectiveness Data
and Information Set (HEDIS®) in 1998. The measure includes the most recent advances in summarizing physical and mental health outcomes results
and appropriate risk adjustment techniques. This measure was initially titled Health of Seniors, and was renamed the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey during
the first year of implementation. This name change was intended to reflect the inclusion of people with Medicare who are disabled and under age
65 in the sampling methodology.
The HOS measure was developed under the guidance of a Technical Expert Panel (TEP) comprised of individuals with specific expertise in the health
care industry and outcomes measurement. CMS has contracted with NCQA to support the standardized administration of the HOS and HOS-Modified surveys,
including the selection and training of the independent survey vendors. Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs) and Program of All-Inclusive Care
for the Elderly (PACE) plans contract with the survey vendors to administer the surveys.
In the Spring of 2015, CMS implemented the Medicare HOS 3.0; the latest version of the HOS questionnaire. The Medicare HOS 3.0 contains the following major components:
In a formatting change from previous versions of the HOS, the new survey uses a two column layout for each page. Other modifications in the HOS 3.0
as compared with the HOS 2.5 include changes to questions about leakage of urine, osteoporosis testing in older women, sleep, and primary language
spoken in the home. The Medicare HOS 3.0 can be downloaded from the
Survey Instrument section.
In the Spring of 2013, CMS implemented the Medicare HOS 2.5. The Medicare HOS 2.5 contains the following major components:
The HOS 2.5 uses the VR-12 as the core physical and mental health outcomes measures and the four HEDIS Effectiveness of Care measures are the
Osteoporosis Testing in Older Women, Physical Activity in Older Adults, Management of Urinary Incontinence in Older Adults, and Fall Risk
Management measures. Changes in the HOS 2.5 compared to the HOS 2.0 include the following items. As part of the Affordable Care Act, questions
on race, ethnicity, sex, primary language, and disability status were updated. Depression was added to the chronic condition list. New questions also include Instrumental
Activities of Daily Living (IADLs), cognitive function, memory, living arrangements, and a new rating of pain level, while questions about chest pain,
shortness of breath, leg/foot problems, arthritis pain and low back pain were removed. Two questions about vision and hearing and four questions previously
used for a depression screen have been replaced with new questions. The Medicare HOS 2.5 can be downloaded from the
Survey Instrument section.
Changes in HOS 2.0 from the original HOS measure (described below) include a reduction
in outcome items (from 36 items to 12 items), the removal of redundant or less useful
items (UI question, stroke complications), the addition of HEDIS®
measures for osteoporosis testing and fall risk management, and height and weight
questions for calculation of Body Mass Index. The Medicare HOS 2.0 can be downloaded from the
Survey Instrument
In the mid-1990s, Medicare beneficiaries were joining health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and other types of managed care organizations (MCOs) in increasing numbers.
It became apparent to CMS that the Agency needed performance reporting requirements for Medicare managed care. CMS worked with NCQA to incorporate the Medicare population
into NCQA's HEDIS® performance measurement set. HEDIS® was rapidly becoming a standard reporting requirement of purchasers in the commercial
insurance market.
The integration of the Medicare population into HEDIS® was achieved with the release of HEDIS® 3.0. CMS, NCQA, and others felt there was
a need to develop additional measures for the Medicare population including an "outcomes" measure for HEDIS®. Traditionally, HEDIS® contained
"process" measures that assessed interventions such as mammograms for older women and retinal eye exams for people with diabetes. While evidence in the scientific
literature tied the measured processes or interventions to favorable patient outcomes, there was a desire to develop an outcomes measure that captured performance across
multiple aspects of care.
CMS, NCQA, Health Assessment Lab (HAL), and performance measurement experts worked together to develop a measure that would assess the physical functioning and mental
well being of Medicare beneficiaries over time. It was decided that this measure should include additional items to allow for case mix adjustment, which is essential
for meaningful and valid plan-to-plan comparisons of health outcomes. The HOS measure was approved for inclusion in HEDIS® by the Committee on Performance
Measurement (CPM), the NCQA panel that oversees the development and evolution of HEDIS®.
HOS results continue to be an important part of CMS' quality improvement activities, to ensure that medical care paid for under the Medicare
program meets professionally recognized standards of health care. Section 722 of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 mandates
the collection, analysis, and reporting of health outcomes information. This legislation also specifies that data collected on quality, outcomes, and beneficiary satisfaction
to facilitate consumer choice and program administration must utilize the types of data collected prior to November 1, 2003. Collected since 1998, the Medicare
Health Outcomes Survey is the first patient-reported outcomes measure in Medicare managed care and therefore remains a critical part of assessing health plan quality.
The Medicare Health Outcomes Survey-Modified (HOS-M) is administered to vulnerable Medicare beneficiaries at greatest risk for poor health outcomes. These beneficiaries
are enrolled in Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) programs. The main goal of the HOS-M is to assess the frailty of the population in these health
plans in order to adjust plan payments.
The survey administration occurs annually according to the standard HOS timeline. Additional information, including the HOS-M program timeline, dissemination of results,
and sample reports, may be found in the
HOS-Modified Overview section.
Each spring, a random sample of Medicare beneficiaries is drawn and surveyed from each MAO that has a minimum of 500 enrollees (i.e., a survey is administered to a new
baseline cohort, or group, each year). Two years later, the baseline respondents are surveyed again (i.e., follow up measurement). Cohort 1 was surveyed
in 1998 and was resurveyed in 2000. Cohort 2 was surveyed in 1999 and was resurveyed in 2001, and so on. During the current HOS administration
(2015 Round 18), Cohort 18 is surveyed and Cohort 16 is resurveyed using HOS 3.0. Changes in sample selection over time include the following:
Information about the HOS cohorts related to data collection and report dissemination are provided in the table below. Information about the HOS cohorts included in the Medicare
Star Ratings may be found in the
HOS and the Star Ratings section.
Medicare HOS Glossary (PDF, 120 KB).
The glossary of HOS related terms, which is updated for new definitions related to the annual HOS and HOS-Modified surveys and reports,
is available for download from this section. Examples of recent HOS reports are available in the
Publications section.

Feb. 23, 2008
HOUSTON, Texas - The Stephen F. Austin men's and women's track and field team wrapped up the Southland Conference Indoor Championships with second-place finishes Saturday afternoon in Houston, Texas, at the Bill Yeoman Fieldhouse. The 'Jacks scored 101.5 points, while the Ladyjacks finished with 114.50.
Senior Katrina Roundtree and junior Kelsea David recorded the two biggest performances of the day for SFA. Roundtree won the women's 400 meters individual title by recording a time of 55.69. She also tacked on an eighth-place finish in the 200-meter dash (25.98). David won the women's pole vault title by clearing a height of 11-9.75.
Teammate Kristina Windham also cleared a height of 11-9.75, but finished second based on the tie-break system. Junior Ashley Dickeson cleared a height of 10-10.00 to finish tied for eighth.
Senior Ashley Monteau ended her SFA career Saturday by tacking on one more All-Southland Conference honor. Less than 24 hours after recording a top-four finish in the women's 3,000 meters, Monteau returned to the track to place third in the 5,000-meters (10:14.43).
The `Jacks placed three athletes in the top five of the heptathlon, led by sophomore Aaron Harlan who missed a conference individual title by only 46 points. Harlan scored 5,205 points to finish second overall. Classmate Chris Jones scored 4,970 points, but fell one spot from Friday's competition to finish fourth overall. Freshman Jacques Neyrey battled through injuries to score 4,696 points and finish fifth overall.
SFA recorded two All-SLC honors in the women's shot put. Less than 24 hours after winning the women's weight throw, sophomore Frednisha Marshall returned to the awards stand. She recorded a mark of 48-3.50 to finish second in the shot put. Classmate Kaitlyn Andrews also recorded all-conference honors by finishing third with a toss of 46-9.00.
Senior Zach Ross added to SFA's all-conference tally by recording an SLC runner-up finish in the 60-meter hurdles. Ross finished second overall with a time of 8.12. Harlan came over from the heptathlon to advance to the finals of the 60 hurdles. Harlan posted a time of 8.25 to finish sixth overall.
Ross returned to the track to record an all-conference honor in the 400 meters. A 2008 team co-captain, Ross clocked a time of 48.87 to finish second overall in the event, only six-tenths of a second off the conference title.
Senior Justin Reyes recorded the meet's second-best mark in the men's high jump. Reyes cleared a height of 6-9.00 to finish second and earn All-SLC honors.
The Lumberjacks 4x400-meter relay team closed out the meet by earning all-conference honors. The team recorded a time of 3:19.13 to place third overall. The SFA men also recorded a top-eight finish in the distance medley relay. The 'Jacks recorded a time of 10:38.43 to finish seventh overall. The Ladyjacks scored two points in the women's 4x400-meter relay. SFA finished seventh overall in the event with a time of 3:58.36.
The `Jacks also placed one in the finals of the men's shot put. Freshman Kenneth Charles finished seventh overall in the event with a mark of 50-6.25.
Sophomore Josh Cruse scored five points for the Lumberjacks in the triple jump by recording a mark of 48-4.00. Cruse just missed earning all-conference honors by finishing fourth overall.
Sophomores Silent-Joye Egboba-Waye and Tabitha Riley put up points for SFA in the 60-meter hurdles. Egboba-Waye clocked a time 8.84 to finish fourth in the event. Egboba-Waye finished just one-tenth of a second ahead of Riley (8.94), who was fifth overall.
Other SFA athletes that recorded solid performances were sophomore Keith Mahipala and freshmen Ty Thomas, Arteria Sterns and Kelia Crawford. Thomas recorded a time of 6.93 to finish in a two-way tie for fourth in the 60-meter dash. He was only .11 seconds off an all-conference honor. Thomas followed that up with a fifth-place finish in the 200 meters (22.24). Mahipala clocked a time of 8:32.09 to finish fifth overall in the 3,000 meters. Sterns and Crawford both advanced to the finals of women's 60-meter dash. Sterns finished sixth overall with a time of 7.82, while Crawford was eighth (7.83).

A glucose test measures the amount of glucose in your blood. Glucose, also known as sugar, is your body's main source of energy. Your body converts the carbohydrates you eat into glucose.
Glucose testing is done primarily to check for type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. Diabetes is a condition that causes your blood glucose to rise. In healthy individuals, the glucose level is managed in the body by a hormone called insulin.
However, if you have diabetes, your body does not make enough insulin or the insulin does not work properly. This causes your blood glucose to rise. If left untreated, high levels of blood glucose can cause organ damage.
More rarely, glucose testing may also be used to test for hypoglycemia, which occurs when the levels of glucose in the blood are too low.
Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and teenagers whose bodies are not able to produce enough insulin. It is a chronic condition and requires treatment throughout an individual's life. Late onset Type 1 diabetes has been shown to affect individuals in the 30 to 40 age group as well.
Type 2 diabetes is usually diagnosed in overweight and obese adults. This condition occurs when the body does not make enough insulin, or when the insulin produced is not working properly. The impact of Type 2 diabetes may be reduced through weight loss.
Gestational diabetes occurs when a pregnant woman develops diabetes. Gestational diabetes usually goes away after the woman gives birth.
After receiving a diagnosis, people with diabetes may have to get blood glucose tests to determine if their condition is being managed well. A high glucose level in a person with diabetes may mean that the diabetes is not being managed correctly.
Other possible causes of high blood glucose levels include:
In rare cases, high blood glucose levels could signal acromegaly, Cushing syndrome, kidney failure, or adrenal tumor.
It is also possible to have levels of blood glucose that are too low. However, this result is not as common. Low blood glucose or hypoglycemia may be caused by:
There are two different types of glucose blood testing—a fasting glucose test and a random glucose test.
If you are having a fasting glucose test, you should not eat or drink for eight hours before your test. You can only drink plain water. You may want to schedule a fasting glucose test first thing in the morning, so you do not have to fast during the day.
You may eat and drink before a random glucose test.
Severe stress can cause a temporary increase in blood glucose. This stress is usually due to surgery, trauma, stroke, or heart attack. Certain medications can also affect blood glucose levels.
Always tell your doctor about the medications you are on—including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and herbal supplements. He or she may ask you to stop taking some medications or decide to change the dosage before your test.
Medications that can affect blood glucose levels include:
This simple test involves giving only a small sample of blood.
A technician will draw blood from your vein, usually from inside the elbow or on the back of your hand. Before drawing blood, the technician will clean the area with antiseptic to kill any germs. He or she will tie an elastic band around your upper arm, causing your blood to pool in the vein.
The technician will then insert a sterile needle into your vein. The blood will be drawn into a tube and the elastic band removed from around your arm. You may feel slight to moderate pain, similar to a needle prick or a burning sensation. You can reduce your pain by trying to relax your arm.
When the technician is finished drawing blood, he or she will remove the needle, apply pressure to the insertion spot, and apply a bandage. Continue applying pressure for a few minutes to prevent bruising. The sample of blood you gave will then be sent to the lab for testing. Your doctor will follow-up with you to discuss the results.
The chance of experiencing a problem during or after a blood test is low. Possible risks include:

Doug McDermott Earns Third BIG EAST Weekly Honor
OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton senior Doug McDermott has been named BIG EAST Player of the Week after averaging 27.0 points and 6.0 rebounds in a pair of lopsided victories last week.
McDermott opened his week with 21 points in just 22 minutes in a 79-61 road win at Long Beach State. McDermott had 19 points in the game's first 25 minutes to help Creighton build a 62-34 lead, and he would play just three of the final 12 minutes in the one-sided victory to wrap up an eight-day road trip in California.
He returned home with 33 points and eight rebounds in Sunday's 82-67 win over in-state rival Nebraska, the 18th game of 30 or more points in his storied career. McDermott had 11 points in the first five minutes as Creighton raced to an 18-2 lead and never trailed against the Big Ten foe. McDermott had 17 points in the first 15 minutes as the lead was extended to 42-12, before closing the night with 33 points overall.
McDermott finished the week making 17-of-34 attempts from the field (50 percent), including 7-of-13 shots from three-point range (53.8 percent), and was also perfect in 13 free throw attempts (100 percent).
He also became the fifth man in school history to surpass 900 career rebounds, while also becoming the fifth man with 200 or more three-pointers.
This is McDermott's 16th career Conference Player of the Week honor, and third in four weeks from the BIG EAST to start his senior campaign. His first 13 honors coming from the MVC office. He also earned MVC Newcomer of the Week accolades seven times as a freshman in 2010-11, meaning he's now earned a Player or Newcomer of the Week award in 23 of 53 weeks as a collegian.
Creighton returns to action on Dec. 17 with a game vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

Appellate court issues TRO allowing Toledo City Gov't to release funds-A A +A
Thursday, May 29, 2014
THE Court of Appeals (CA) yesterday issued a 60-day temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop the implementation of the writ of preliminary injunction on Toledo City's 2014 annual budget.
It also allowed the implementation of the City's budget ordinance.
Earlier, Toledo City Mayor John Henry Osmeña filed a petition for certiorari with special prayer for status quo ante order, TRO and preliminary injunction before the CA to nullify the RTC's decision on the budget.
Six councilors filed the petition for preliminary injunction before the RTC since there was a lack of quorum when the budget ordinance was passed.
RTC Branch 59 issued the writ of preliminary injunction last May 14.
Since the City could not use funds after the preliminary injunction was issued, it could not pay its electricity bills and power at the City Hall was cut off last Monday. It could not buy fuel for its garbage trucks so garbage has been piling up in the city. And City Hall employees have not received their salary.
After he received a copy of the CA resolution, Osmeña said he ordered the city treasurer to process the employees' salaries.
He also asked the Cebu Electric Cooperative to restore power at City Hall.
He assured city employees they will have regular power today.
"Indeed, this Court believes and so holds that grave and irreparable damage will result if the acts of public respondent will not be temporarily restrained," a part of the resolution read.
The hearing on Osmeña's application for the issuance of writ of preliminary injunction will be on June 11.
Before the resolution was issued yesterday afternoon, the six councilors of the opposition held a press conference in the morning.
They are Ricardo Pepito, Antonio Borja Jr., Rogelio Caburnay, Louis Nicholas Espinosa, Helen Jill Espinosa and Edgardo Aguilar.
Pepito said a reenacted budget must be used to pay the bills, salaries of the employees and basic services because the 2014 budget was illegally passed.
He cited Section 323 of Republic Act (RA) 7160, also known as the Local Government Code, which states that should the City Council fail to pass an ordinance at the beginning of the year, last year's budget should be reenacted.
"The proposed 2014 budget was passed illegally so it is not deemed approved. It is null and void. Therefore, the 2013 budget, as provided in Section 323 of RA 7160, is still in effect," Pepito said in his press statement.
In a text message, Pepito said they have yet to read the CA decision, but they will respect it.
City Legal Officer Glenn Cavada said they can't go back to a reenacted budget since they've started using the 2014 budget.
He said funding for salaries for periods March 16 to 30 and April 1 to 15 came from this year's budget.

The Department of Transportation has released $1.214 million for the West Jemez Road Bypass project in Los Alamos.
The department notified Sen. Jeff Bingaman Friday that money he had requested for this year's budget was now available for building a road around security checkpoints in the area.
"The construction of the West Jemez Bypass road will make it easier for residents to get around without having to deal with new security measures associated with Los Alamos National Laboratory," Bingaman said in a press release.
Assistant County Administrator Anthony Mortillaro welcomed the assurance of an additional federal contribution to the road project.
"The senator deserves a lot of gratitude for his efforts here," he said Friday.
The notice arrives just as the county prepares to revisit the question of how to proceed with its share of the bypass project, connecting the Omega (Los Alamos Canyon) Bridge to the new Ski Hill Road.
After reaching a 90-percent design phase for a bypass plan, Los Alamos County Council decided to look at other alternatives last December.
"We now have gone through that analysis," said Mortillaro, "and we have a bunch of costs to present to the transportation board and council for each."

I'm unsure if this has been mentioned before, but here goes.
I've just gone "pro" and I was browsing the extra arenas when this occurred to me. It's great that maps from the Dreamcast version and Quake Arena Arcade are featured, however, I was surprised to see that the Playstation 2 version, Quake III Revolution, is not represented at all.
This port had some really great duel/small DM maps and new game modes such as Possession (hold on to the White Flag for a set cumulative period of time) and Team Possession. Some of the new maps (such as "Final Resting Place" were straight up boss arenas, but with a bit of item balancing could really make QL's roster feel a bit more "complete".
It also featured new skins for a lot of the characters and even a model for the Vadrigar, and Reaper and Mistress from DK2 also made cameos, but I can see how this aspect would be irrelevant as most QL players use forcemodels.
Incidentally, one of Q3R's maps is available in the EA Map Pack for Q3A (EADM6, called "Asylum", funnily enough) and there are plenty of videos online of the game's other exclusive levels. While the extra skins and models are most likely a non-starter, it would be great to see some PS2 content in QL. IMO it's definitely worth looking into.

Kragthorpe: Sloan was one of us, from start to finish
Jerry Sloan grew up in southern Illinois, attended college in Indiana and played pro basketball mostly in Chicago, where a larger-than-life-sized poster of him stands just outside the Bulls' locker room.
Yet he'll forever be associated with Utah, having coached the Jazz for parts of 23 seasons, and we'll claim him.
This guy was one of us.
Sorry for using the past tense. It's just that Sloan's farewell news conference Thursday felt a lot like a funeral, a goodbye to a good man who became as much of the fabric of life in this state as anyone could.
"You want to congratulate him just because of all he's accomplished, but it's like when you best friend goes away," former Jazz player Thurl Bailey said after the event at the team's practice facility. "You're not going to see him around. That's what this community is feeling."
Sloan will be missed. For all the times I've wondered if the Jazz could benefit from hearing a different voice, when that moment actually comes, it is frightening to picture this team without this coach.
Beyond that, there was a bond between Sloan and longtime Jazz fans that they treasured. Only last spring, in researching the stories of fans who were so attached to the Jazz that their families were compelled to mention that devotion in their obituaries, did I realize how deeply Sloan had worked his way into this state's heart.
When Sloan took over for Frank Layden in 1988, Verlinda Bentson "fell in love," said her daughter, Rise Argyle, of Holladay.
Bentson, who died at age 90, came from rural South Dakota, giving her a Midwestern bond with Sloan. Yet even without that background, Utahns have felt a connection to Sloan. He's just like us or how we picture ourselves, anyway: humble, hard-working, down-to-earth, unpretentious.
"His style resonates very well with all of us from Utah," said Jazz President Randy Rigby. "He was so sincere and so genuine. That's what people loved about him. They could relate to Jerry Sloan."
So it was that we've exulted and commiserated with him, lived and died with him, during these 23 seasons. We watched him replace Layden, build a championship contender and fall short in consecutive NBA Finals, struggle through a disastrous season and quickly rebuild a team. We shared the illness and emotional loss of his wife, followed by his remarrying a Utahn, always looking for the landmark event that would serve as a retirement indicator.
And then it came out of nowhere late Wednesday night, amid eerie coincidences. The Jazz lost to Chicago, the team that retired his No. 4, that fired him in the middle of his third season as coach in the early 1980s, that tormented him in the NBA Finals, that features three former Jazz players. So the coach who always said, "I never thought I'd last a week," in his self-effacing manner, finally walked away after 1,153 weeks in charge.
He did not appear in television commercials or on billboards, yet we all felt as though we knew him, and he valued what we valued. Sloan coached in an organization that has always tried to draft, sign and trade for good people, who would make us proud on and off the court. He would enforce our standards, almost as an implied contract.
"I think the fans liked what we tried to represent," Sloan said Thursday, speaking more about his players than himself.
Oh, they liked him too. After Norma Johnston, of Monticello, died last winter, her daughter told me about discovering a journal with an old newspaper story about Sloan, with this quote underlined: "Some people think they're better than others. I was always taught that I'm no better, but I'm just as good."
That's a Utah outlook, if I've ever heard one.
One more story, and this one's personal: In the news conference, Sloan referenced a conversation we had moments before his first game as the Jazz's head coach. Having covered the team as a beat writer and grown to admire Sloan as an assistant coach, I told him I knew our relationship would change, but I wished him well.
All he asked was that I treat him fairly.
The request was reasonable, simply reflecting a Utah approach to dealing with people, right? Jerry Sloan was one of us, from start to finish.
