WASHINGTON Geographic adjustments to Medicare payments are intended to accurately and equitably cover regional variations in wages, rents, and other costs incurred by hospitals and individual health care practitioners, but almost 40 percent of hospitals have been granted exceptions to how their adjustments are calculated, finds a new report from the Institute of Medicine. The rate of exceptions strongly suggests that the mechanisms underlying the adjustments are inadequate, noted the committee that wrote the report.
The rationale for fine-tuning Medicare payments based on geographic variations in expenses beyond providers' control is sound and should be continued, the committee concluded. However, several fundamental changes to the data sources and methods the program uses to calculate the adjustments are needed to increase the accuracy of the payments.
"The Medicare program needs more precise and objective tools and methods to assure the nation that the billions being spent are appropriately and fairly disbursed," said committee chair Frank Sloan, J. Alexander McMahon Professor of Health Policy and Management and professor of economics, Duke University, Durham, N.C. "As the criticism we heard from a range of health care providers indicates, there is significant skepticism about the fairness and accuracy of how adjustments are currently being determined. This report's recommendations will increase the likelihood that the geographic adjustments reflect reasonably accurate measures of regional differences in expenses."
Medicare payments to hospitals and health professionals working in private practice topped $500 billion in 2010, according to Congressional Budget Office estimates. Federal law requires geographic adjustments to be budget neutral, meaning any increase in the amount paid to one hospital or practitioner must be offset by a decrease to others.
Salaries and benefits make up one of the largest costs of providi

We examine the financial conditions of dealers that participated in two of the Federal Reserve's lender-of-last-resort (LOLR) facilities--the Term Securities Lending Facility (TSLF) and the Primary Dealer Credit Facility (PDCF)--that provided liquidity against a range of assets during 2008-09. Dealers with lower equity returns and greater leverage prior to borrowing from the facilities were more likely to participate in the programs, borrow more, and--in the case of the TSLF--at higher bidding rates. Dealers with less liquid collateral on their balance sheets before the facilities were introduced also tended to borrow more. There also appear to be some interaction effects between financial performance and balance sheet liquidity in explaining dealer behavior. The results suggest that both financial performance and balance sheet liquidity play a role in LOLR utilization.

Amicus Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:FOLD) shed $7.36 (53%) to $6.39 on Friday, losing all of its 2015 gains, after the company said it no longer planned to submit an NDA to FDA by YE15 for Amigal migalastat to treat Fabry's disease. Last month, Amicus said it was on track to submit an NDA in 4Q15 requesting accelerated approval. On a conference call Friday, Chairman and CEO John Crowley said FDA is requesting data analyses that will take several months to complete. Amicus had planned to submit data from the Phase III FACETS (Study 011) trial as the sole basis for accelerated approval, supplemented by data from the Phase III ATTRACT (Study 012) trial. However, Amicus said FDA has asked the company to integrate data from the two trials and conduct further analyses, which Amicus intends to complete by 1H16. The company has not disclosed a new NDA timeline. If Amicus continues to pursue accelerated approval of Amigal, Crowley said it will likely be required to conduct a Phase IV gastrointestinal study in Fabry's disease patients. Crowley said FDA also is open to considering Amigal for full approval, though the requirements needed to pursue the full approval pathway are "subject to further discussion." The small molecule that enhances alpha galactosidase A activity is under accelerated assessment in the EU, where it is known as Galafold. Crowley said the European market represents about 70% of the commercial opportunity for the candidate (see BioCentury Extra, June 26).
FDA granted accelerated approval to Keytruda pembrolizumab from Merck & Co. Inc. (NYSE:MRK) to treat advanced squamous and non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in previously treated patients, though the label is limited to patients with PD-L1-positive tumors.The approval was based on data from patients in the Phase Ib KEYNOTE-001 trial who demonstrated PD-L1 expression in at least 50% of tumor cells.Among the first 394 patients treated in KEYNOTE-001 who had varying levels of PD-L1 expression, Keytruda led to an overall response rate (ORR) of 18%. Among those who expressed PD-L1 expression in at least 50% of tumor cells, the ORR was 41%.Competing PD-1 inhibitor Opdivo nivolumab from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (NYSE:BMY) is approved to treat metastatic squamous NSCLC in patients who have progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy, regardless of PD-L1 expression levels.Opdivo is under Priority Review to treat non-squamous NSCLC in previously treated patients; the PDUFA date is Jan. 2. In the Phase II CheckMate -057 trial of Opdivo in non-squamous NSCLC patients, PD-L1 status appeared to correlate with benefit. Opdivo did not show a benefit over docetaxel in patients with little or no PD-L1 expression (see BioCentury Extra, June 1). Both drugs are also approved to treat melanoma. FDA approved Keytruda last year for melanoma patients previously treated with BMS's Yervoy ipilimumab. Opdivo is approved in the U.S. in combination with Yervoy to treat BRAF V600 wild-type unresectable or metastatic melanoma, and as a monotherapy to treat advanced melanoma in patients previously treated with Yervoy (see BioCentury Extra, Oct. 1). In parallel with Friday's Keytruda approval, FDA granted premarket approval to the PD-L1 IHC 22C3 pharmDx test, a companion diagnostic from the Dako A/S subsidiary of Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A).
Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ:RARE) said EMA accepted for review an MAA for Ace-ER (UX001) to treat GNE myopathy, a muscle-wasting disorder also known as hereditary inclusion body myopathy.The company is seeking conditional approval for Ace-ER based on Phase II data. It expects data in early 2017 from an ongoing Phase III trial of the extended-release oral formulation of aceneuramic acid. The Phase III trial is designed to satisfy EMA's requirement for a confirmatory trial and to serve as the basis for an NDA submission. President and CEO Emil Kakkis declined to give a timeline for the submission.Ace-ER has Orphan Drug designation in the U.S. and EU for HIBM. Ultragenyx has exclusive rights to the compound outside of Japan and other Asian territories from Nobelpharma Co. Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan).Ultragenyx gained $5.71 to $104.69 on Friday.
The Sandoz unit of Novartis AG (NYSE:NVS;SIX:NOVN) said FDA accepted for filing a BLA for biosimilar etanercept (GP2015). The company is pursuing approval in all indications approved for reference product Enbrel etanercept from Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ:AMGN). Novartis spokesperson Eric Althoff declined to disclose an FDA user action date for the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha inhibitor.Enbrel is approved to treat rheumatoid arthritis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and plaque psoriasis. Althoff would not name the indications in which Sandoz had conducted clinical trials of the biosimilar, but said "psoriasis is the most sensitive indication for the evaluation of biosimilarity." In 2013, Sandoz sought a declaratory judgment of non-infringement against two of Amgen's Enbrel patents, which are set to expire in 2028 and 2029. A district court ruled against Sandoz, finding that the company could not seek a judgment before it submitted an application to FDA; a federal appeals court dismissed an appeal on procedural grounds. Althoff declined to comment on legal issues (see BioCentury Extra, Dec. 8, 2014).FDA first approved Enbrel in 1998. The drug is a recombinant p75 tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor linked to the Fc portion of Human IgG1 (TNFr:Fc).
XenoPort Inc. (NASDAQ:XNPT) gained $0.84 (24%) to $4.32 after the company said it is replacing its CEO and plans to partner XP23829 and other pipeline candidates to focus on commercializing Horizant gabapentin enacarbil. EVP and COO Vincent Angotti succeeds Ronald Barrett, who retired as CEO and director. Angotti has led Horizant's commercialization. The company will also cut about 25 jobs, including positions related to the XP23829 program.Horizant is approved in the U.S. to treat restless legs syndrome (RLS) and to manage postherpetic neuralgia. NIH's National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) is conducting a Phase II trial of Horizant to treat alcohol use disorder.XenoPort regained U.S. commercialization rights for Horizant from former partner GlaxoSmithKline plc (LSE:GSK; NYSE:GSK) and re-launched the drug in the U.S. in 2013. The company reported $20.2 million in U.S. Horizant sales in 2014.Astellas Pharma Inc. (Tokyo:4503) markets the transported prodrug of gabapentin in Japan as Regnite. XenoPort remains 36% below its close of $6.73 on Sept. 14, before the company reported data from a Phase II trial of XP23829 to treat moderate to severe chronic plaque-type psoriasis. While two doses of XP23829 met the primary endpoint, the high incidence of adverse events (AEs) in the trial sent shares tumbling. XP23829 is an oral prodrug of monomethyl fumarate (MMF) that induces and activates the nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NFE2L2; NRF2) pathway (see BioCentury Extra, Sept. 15).

In February, the company withdrew a planned IPO in which it sought to raise $75 million.In June, Advanced Accelerator raised EUR 23 million ($26 million) in a crossover round (see BioCentury, July 13).The company expects to submit regulatory applications to FDA and EMA by 1Q16 for Lutathera (177Lu-DOTA0-Tyr3-octreotate) to treat midgut neuroendocrine tumors. FDA already has granted Priority Review to an NDA for the company's Somakit, a companion PET diagnostic for Lutathera.Last month, Advanced Accelerator said the radiolabeled somatostatin analog that targets somatostatin receptors met the primary endpoint in the Phase III NETTER-1 study, significantly improving progression-free survival (PFS) compared with a double dose of Sandostatin LAR Depot octreotide acetate. Lutathera has Orphan Drug designation from FDA and EMA and Fast Track designation from FDA to treat neuroendocrine tumors. Somakit also has Orphan Drug designation from FDA and EMA.

VIDEO/PHOTOS: Ex-sheriff's candidate Vinny Angiolillo wins some, loses some after trial
Vinny Angiolillo left court happy that he'd had his days in court and got $2,000 cut from his legal bills
NAPLES - UPDATE: Angiolillo fully satisfied the judgment, paying it all off, on May 24, 2010.
After getting his three days in court, former sheriff candidate Vinny Angiolillo left the courthouse smiling Wednesday after a judge cut $2,000 off legal bills he objected to paying.
It was the end of a lawsuit filed by his former attorneys' law firm, Lucarelli, Beavin and Quinn PA of Naples.
"It's always sad to see the breakdown of an attorney-client relationship," Collier County Judge Vince Murphy said before making his ruling. "It's always sacred under the law. Sometimes, when it gets to this point, each of us feels the need to vindicate what we did. ... Sometimes, we dig our heels in to the point where we win or die."
The judge noted he'd heard Angiolillo's version, and the testimony presented by his former attorneys, Domenic Lucarelli, Karen Beavin and Jeffrey Quinn. But "somewhere in between" was his ruling.
The judge ordered Angiolillo to hand over $2,209.73, plus interest dating to August 2008, for past legal bills involving his former attorneys' representation in civil cases and a domestic violence criminal case that was dropped the day of trial, June 4, 2008.
It was that $2,500 trial fee that Angiolillo objected to most, contending there was no trial and that he, not Lucarelli, gathered the evidence — and he'd already paid Lucarelli $7,500.
The judge agreed he shouldn't pay the full trial fee, but awarded Lucarelli $500 for two hours of work that day, agreeing there were ambiguities. Quoting road-gang boss Strother Martin in the movie "Cool Hand Luke," the judge added, "What we had here was a failure to communicate."
The judge also ruled Angiolillo must foot the bill for the firm's lawsuit against him and its costs at this trial, an amount that hasn't been submitted yet.
"I'd love for the two of you to go out and have a beer and say, 'Let bygones be bygones.' But that's not going to happen," the judge concluded.
"You're right, your honor," Angiolillo replied before leaving court.
"It wasn't a matter of winning or losing," Angiolillo said afterward. "It was a matter of the truth coming out. With people who represent you, there's always questions, whether they're lawyers or not."
He hoped the ruling would make others question their lawyers' representation.
"It's all about money," he added, praising the judge for listening to his testimony and closing argument. "He's very honest, very fair and very attentive. I'm very pleased with the three days we spent in court, and that I was heard. I was tired of all the lies."
Quinn declined comment for the firm.
It was a colorful trial that began last fall and lasted 10 hours, including Angiolillo's 30 minutes of testimony Wednesday and his 15-minute closing arguments.
"I am not just the fat guy that rode the elephant down Airport Road, trying to display the big problems in Collier County, or just the limousine driver who knows nothing about the law..." he said during closing arguments.
The snappy suits Angiolillo wore while defending himself pro se — acting as his own attorney — were a stark contrast to the tuxedo shorts outfit and bow tie he was known for during his bid for sheriff. The tuxedo is his uniform as the owner and driver for Class Act Limousine, and at 5-foot-7 and 205 pounds, he bore a striking resemblance to cartoon character Fred Flinstone.
At trial, he cross-examined his former attorneys and their employees. He also called them as defense witnesses in December, when he presented testimony by various witnesses, including his "wife and friend" Susan.
On Wednesday, he read his testimony — a 21-page statement — over Beavin's objections. Angiolillo contended there was a conspiracy against him, that he was arrested Oct. 15, 2007, the day he announced his candidacy against undersheriff Kevin Rambosk, because local attorneys feared he'd take away their lucrative business of representing clients in drunken driving cases.
He noted that one of his campaign promises, announced at a public forum, was that no one would be arrested without his knowledge or approval and that anyone who couldn't drive or who was drunk could call the sheriff's office for a ride.
Angiolillo admitted he may have made a dumb move by accusing the sheriff of campaigning on office time and trying to expose what he called Collier's corrupt system. "Had I taken on the entire system? Absolutely," he said. "Was there potential for retaliation? Absolutely."
But he maintained he was innocent, arrested illegally, without any probable cause, and every attorney he hired wanted him to accept a plea bargain and serve some jail time. But he refused, proclaiming his innocence and desire to protect his integrity.
He also condemned his own attorneys for believing false claims that he was having an affair with the alleged victim in the domestic violence case, Crystal, a former business partner he'd sued.
"I had to play him like a cheap, fragile violin," Angiolillo said of Lucarelli, who respresnted him after Beavin and Lee Hollander.
At trial, Angiolillo said he accrued the more than $4,300 debt and others, including credit card bills and a foreclosure, after defending himself following his October 2007 arrest. That came a week after announcing he was running for sheriff. He was charged with two misdemeanor counts of violating a domestic violence injunction.
He'd provided testimony to show he'd already paid the firm $30,000 in legal fees and accused them of changing prior written and oral agreements, charging for work he never asked them to do, and lying in court. Asking the judge to dismiss the case, he said: "Integrity is mine and they have none."

The fine focus control is a nicety I've been able to live quite happily without, given the cost of a new one! The DeVere is undoubtedly the Rolls-Royce of enlargers, but they're big and heavy and unless you envisage moving to large format in the future I'm sure you'll be well catered for by the LPL. The best feature of the DeVere is the baseboard level focus controls - you need to be a bit of a contortionist making big prints with the LPL unless you get a Paterson "Major" focus finder so you can get your head a bit nearer the focus knob!

Tate & Lyle (London) says it has agreed to purchase an 80% interest in privately owned G.C. Hahn & Co (Lübeck, Germany), a manufacturer of food stabilizer systems, for €116 million ($157 million).

When the Celtics signed Shaquille O'Neal, questions were rampant about how this was going to work. O'Neal has remained adamant throughout his career's downward slope that he's still capable of his former glory. It was pretty normal for people to start wondering exactly how this was going to work, and if Shaq was going to start making noise about his overly exaggerated role on the C's.
Well apparently, Doc Rivers nipped that in the bud.
The Boston Globe reports that before Shaq signed with Boston, O'Neal visited Doc Rivers' home for a little talk. And there, Rivers lowered the boom . Via the Globe:
"He told O'Neal he may not start. He told O'Neal his skills had declined, so touches won't be a priority. He told O'Neal he was a liability on pick-and-roll defense. O'Neal sat there with a blank expression, and Rivers thought there was no chance of a deal getting done."
It must be nice to be Doc Rivers. Championship ring. Lots of dough. And the ability to tell the Most Dominant Ever that he probably won't be getting his name called in the introductions and that he sucks at pick and roll defense. I wouldn't tell him that. He'd eat me.
Of course, if I'm being a skeptical, cold-hearted son of a gun (and I am), I'd point out that saying you're totally fine with something in preseason is one thing. Keeping your mouth kept during a losing streak in which you don't feel you're playing enough is a different matter. And O'Neal knows he brings more offense and total size than either Kendrick Perkins or Jermaine O'Neal. But so far, it looks like the O'Neal has honestly bought into "the Celtic way."

What was the inspiration for this idea and what are the best parts / rewards for those who submit work? It can't really be "exposure" because that does not mean squat anymore as the Internet is slathered in amateur photography.
I have no intention of submitting my work as I am very much against web free-for-alls but instead want to look out for the community here.
Also, the book: What is the target market, press run, distribution region, shelf life, format, size, range of page count and price that way I can help participants gauge what to charge you for usage via space rates?

Phil Coke pitches in a spring training game last February. He says he's feeling strong coming into this spring. / Julian H. Gonzalez/DFP
Phil Coke pitches in a spring training game last February. He says he's feeling strong coming into this spring. / Julian H. Gonzalez/DFP
Julian H. Gonzalez/DFP
Key dates
Friday: Pitchers and catchers take the field in
Lakeland, Fla.
Feb. 18: Remainder of players take the field at
Feb. 25: Open at Joker Marchant Stadium with Florida Southern.
Feb. 26: Start major league schedule vs. Braves in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
March 31: Open regular season at Comerica Park against the Royals.
Whats he got left?
Phil Coke saw his effectiveness against left-handers fall way off last season. His numbers against left-handed hitters in 2013 compared to his career stats:
LAKELAND, FLA. — Phil Coke quickly interrupted the question.
It wasnt a matter of rudeness the Free Press reporter had just made the mistake of adding the phrase you struggled down the stretch.
Coke, the Tigers left-handed reliever, wanted to make sure last season was summed up correctly.
I struggled all year, Coke said after a workout last week at Joker Marchant Stadium. It was a bad year.
OK, he struggled all year.
Coke, 31, talked at length about last season and admitted a major issue was his inability to cope with stuff way out of my control.
I didnt lose my way, I just had a lot more stuff I was holding onto than I should have been, Coke said. I mean off-the-field stuff, on-the-field stuff here and there, just paying too much attention instead of just going out there and doing my thing.
It was all kinds of different things. Family stuff, I mean. Stuff way out of my control, but it was still in there, still bothering me. That kind of stuff happens. Were all human, and were all going to make mistakes, whether its thinking about trying to control the situation that you have no control over, which is pretty much usually my problem or if its stuff right in your face and the automatic adjustment isnt there like youre hoping it would be.
Nothing went right
After starring during the 2012 postseason when he notched two saves and allowed only one earned run in 102⁄3 innings, it was a struggle from the start for Coke in 2013.
Coke was sent to the minors in August, but was recalled when rosters expanded in September.
He was on the playoff roster, but he wasnt called on when right-handed closer Joaquin Benoit gave up the game-tying grand slam to Bostons lefty-hitting David Ortiz in the Game 2 of the American League Championship Series. Of course, the Red Sox went on to win the game, the series and the world championship.
Sometimes a few bad innings can skew a relievers effectiveness, but as a left-handed reliever, the primary way for Coke to earn confidence is to retire lefties.
Left-handers hit him at a .299 clip last season. He held them to .263 in 2012 and .215 in 2011.
Coke is one of the most gregarious players in the clubhouse, and he said thats a key to his effectiveness.
For me, just having fun instead, Coke said. Thats where I do my best work is when Im having a good time. So Im here to have a good time. Im here to get it done.
New faces
There is a lot of turnover in the bullpen.
Right-handers Evan Reed and Bruce Rondon along with left-hander Ian Krol likely will have major roles as relievers. Benoit is now pitching for the Padres, and veteran closer Joe Nathan signed as a free agent.
Coke said he will miss Benoit, who was almost like another pitching coach with the way he would talk about mechanics.
Hes going to be missed, because Benny was a keystone in the bullpen for the last two, three years, Coke said. Not having him around and his quiet, confident leadership on and off the field, I mean he was a solid guy. A great person if you were having any type of struggles because hes very attentive to whats going on.
But Coke also praised Nathan, who he hit up for advice last season while Nathan closed for the Texas Rangers.
We rapped about it a little bit during their batting practice, Coke said. That was really cool for me to have an extremely established individual be able to rap with me over what the happenings are in the current time frame.
Almost that time
Coke is eager to get things started when pitchers and catchers take the field Friday.
He and his wife drove cross-country from California a few days after Christmas, but after arriving in Lakeland, he was felled by a flu bug for a couple of weeks.
So he has been working hard at the training complex the past few weeks.
I was able to go out there and handle business in the playoffs, so I feel like I turned the page effectively at the right time, and Im ready for this year, Coke said. I already feel like Im way in front of the curve that I set for myself preceding previous spring trainings.
I feel strong, I feel comfortable and ready to get spring training going. I can prove that Im ready.
And if adversity comes again?
Im going to kick adversity right in the teeth, Coke said, grinning.

IBM (IBM) has been a leader in developing artificial intelligence systems such as the Watson supercomputer
And now Big Blue has taken Watson technology one step further with a system that can form logical arguments for or against a complex issue--rather than just answering questions
Medical researchers could use its services to get a big head start when they're trying to find cures and treatments for diseases. Its ability to summarize terabytes of data in ways that are logical to humans could allow it to summarize all the research that's been done on a given disease, while also identifying new and unexplored avenues of inquiry that could yield promising discoveries. The same goes for legal research, military intelligence and many types of science and technology.
The next step will be adding visual capability to such a machine, so it can see what's going on around it and add images to its databases and reasoning power.

SHAWNEE, Kan., Sept. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Bayer HealthCare LLC, Animal Health Division announced today that a recently installed wastewater treatment system at its U.S. headquarters in Shawnee, Kan. has achieved its first benchmark – saving more than one million gallons of water, or the equivalent of 20,000 filled bathtubs.
Installation on the proprietary wastewater system began in early 2010 by CDI Industrial & Mechanical Contractors, Inc. of Kansas City, Kan. The system went on-line in January 2011, with an immediate impact recognized by Bayer's ability to reuse approximately 20,000 gallons of water from its production facilities each production day.
"Bayer Animal Health strives to be a model corporate citizen," said Ian Spinks, president and general manager of Bayer Animal Health North America. "Many of our employees and associates call this area home and we felt it was a corporate priority to be proactive in the protection and preservation of our community's water resources. I am pleased we are able to announce this remarkable milestone today, as we recognize and celebrate Bayer's first annual Global Safety Day. This special day will serve as a regular reminder to Bayer employees of our global commitment to safety and sustainability."
The Mechanical Contractors Association of Kansas City (MCA-KC) recognized CDI and its installation of the wastewater system with an Outstanding Mechanical Installation award at its semi-annual awards banquet in July. MCA-KC serves the region's union mechanical contractors who service and install plumbing, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, process piping and refrigeration units.
In addition to providing office space for its employees, Bayer's Shawnee site also manufactures various products from the company's portfolio of veterinary, consumer and pharmaceutical products. The manufacturing process yields wastewater or liquid that may contain

Men in Yoga Pants. {Hilarious Photos}
A picture is worth a thousand words, right?
That's why Men in Yoga Pants exists. But the truth is, there just aren't enough men stretching and posing in yoga pants.
We created this project because it's odd and fun. An unsettling sentiment among several in the athletic apparel community suggests yoga pants "don't work on some women's bodies." So, we went ahead and decided to showcase the versatility of yoga pants on men—of all types.
That, and there are just too many gross websites dedicated to "sexy women wearing yoga pants." Let's push some social constructed gender boundaries and stop the hypocrisy. Or at least try.
For more of these ridiculously hilarious photos, check out the website here.
This is a photography project by Robert (@hovden) and Jacqueline (@skyisalandfill) with assistance from Mike (@miketheasian1).

The guys would look fine in their yoga pants if they weren't behaving like such dorks. They're no different from running tights for gawds sake.
"An unsettling sentiment among several in the athletic apparel community suggests yoga pants "don't work on some women's bodies"
I dunno – doesn't this pictorial just confirm that yoga pants don't work on some male bodies also? It doesn't really contradict the unsettling sentiment in the athletic apparel community.
Not hilarious at all…a potential step for mens yoga wear. The guy in turtle pose rocks his yoga pants. Someone smart will design such stretches for men.
They are already designed and men wear them.
Hurrah for men in yoga pants! I'm going to say that men who regularly wear yoga pants are at least THIRTY PERCENT more likely to have a rockin bod and a good attitude than their non-tight-wearing brethren. Yay for this post, and I think the world is furthermore ready for a non-ironic examination of this subject. Thank you Adam for mainstreaming hot yoga pants for men. http://tinyurl.com/oohla6m
In my view these pictures just ridicule yoga and humans who dare to behave and dress different to the common fashion image. I don't get the other part….
Real "MEN" don't eat quiche and no "MAN" in his right mind would ever wear yoga pants. Too funny!! You make us laugh.
Real men practice yoga nude…no need for these yoga pants.
"We are brought into this world naked….thats how it's meant to be"
Or you could wear Lycra Cycling Shorts. People are already used to seeing them even in public places.
And them you could also shave the whole body.
I have been teaching yoga to all age groups- seniors, kids, middle aged adult men and women, etc. Mind you I don't cultivate a Western look- I have a long beard and long hair so I don't look like your traditional hipster yoga teacher but I rock these yoga pants!
As yogis and yoginis, it is part of our daily practice as a spiritual beings having a human experience to cultivate a healthy ego with the focus on intention and consciousness. This is directly linked to the mind and breath. If you know how to bring this message to your students along with great asana alignment, assisting and adjustments, your students will receive a message of higher vibrations, of a deeper self awareness of who we are at our essence- radiant beings of light. Pure love. Then they see and hear this message, not what I look like in my tight yoga pants. Although, one may be distracted for a moment, by my pants, there to-do-list, random thoughts, etc., it is up them to strengthen their connection to the mind and breath and return to the subtle flow of ujjai breath and that natural feeling of calm and peace bringing them back to stillness and centered once again. It is all about intention and consciousness and what is your message as a teacher. Very simple.

Hey, Scripting Guy! How can I cause a user's password to expire?-- GB
Hey, GB. You know, one thing people dislike about politicians is that any time you ask them a question many politicians will give you an answer to a different question. Even worse, if you press them on that point they'll tell you that there's a good reason why they did that: after all, it's for your own good.
What does that have to do with the Hey, Scripting Guy! column? Well, instead of answering the question you asked, we're going to answer a different question. But don't worry: it's for your own good.
So why is this for your own good? Well, we're assuming there's only one reason why you'd want to expire a user's password: you want the user to have to change that password the next time they log on. You wouldn't expire a password in order to prevent a user from logging on; if you don't want a user logging on then you should disable or delete the user account. We want to force a user to change their password the next time they log on, and there's an easier way to do that than by changing the password expiration date. All you have to do is run this little script instead:
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://CN=myerken,OU=Finance,DC=Fabrikam,DC=com")
objUser.pwdLastSet = 0
That's right: there really isn't much to it, is there? We begin by binding to the user account in Active Directory; that's what this line of code is for:
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://CN=myerken,OU=Finance,DC=Fabrikam,DC=com")
Having done that, we then set the value of the pwdLastSet attribute to 0. pwdLastSet is an attribute that stores the date and time that the password for a given account was last set. If pwdLastSet is equal to 0 the user will have no choice but to change their password the next time they log on. In other words, without having to mess around with dates and times we've essentially "expired" their password: their current password will have to be changed the next time they log on. We set pwdLastSet to 0, then call the SetInfo method to write the change back to Active Directory.
Incidentally, you can do the same sort of thing with local user accounts using a script like this:
strComputer = "atl-win2k-01"
Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/kenmyer")
objUser.PasswordExpired = 1
In this script, we bind to the Ken Myer account on the computer atl-win2k-01 and then set the value of the PasswordExpired attribute to 1. We call the SetInfo method and, voilà: the next time Ken Myer logs on to this computer he'll have to change his password.
So there you have it: we answered a question, even though it might not have been the exact question we were asked. Hopefully this will help: the last time we tried giving answers that didn't match the questions was on our SAT test. That one didn't work out too well.
How do I actually set it to a date or number of days before expiration?
Nope... not what I need to do.
I want to test our VPN's ability to allow password management... and I can't wait until the password expires on the account I'm using and I don't want to build an OU and GPO, etc. or can't because I'm not in the AD group.
Great script. Can you answer Andrea's question? Also, how do I implement a loop to get all the users in a certain OU and set the value for pwdLastSet? Please let me know. Thank you.
An answer to the original question would have been more helpful here....
We need to test our GP behavior when passwords are expiring so for testing purposes it would help to have the answer to the original question.
Usually,there is great information here.
This is answer missed the point. We can read the standard documentation about 0 or 1 in this field.
We need some way to manipulate the expiration date, generally, for *testing* purposes.
It fails for me :
PS C:\Windows\system32> Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://CN=Max Allan,OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=local")
Set-Variable : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument 'GetObject'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://CN=Max Allan,OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=local")
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-Variable], ParameterBindingException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PositionalParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetVariableCommand
What am I missing?
(Sorry I am a newb at powershell)
Max Allan: This is Visual Basic Script, not PowerShell. Paste it into a VBS file, and it should do the trick. Provided you updated the distinguished name for the user in question.
So there's plenty of reasons to want to set a password to expire for security testing. It'd be nice to know how to modify the password expiration date.
thank you
I see a number of people that have posted asking the question. You CANNOT change the account password expiration value to anything but 0 or -1. I wanted to change the date to a specific date. AD will not allow anyone but the system to change the value
to something other than 0 or -1.
replace the OU in first line with CN, the script is running fine
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://CN=myerken,CN=Finance,DC=Fabrikam,DC=com")
objUser.pwdLastSet = 0
This exemplifies why that's a very poor approach to answering questions.
As already demonstrated by several other comments, the statement "we're assuming there's only one reason why you'd want to expire a user's password: you want the user to have to change that password the next time they log on" is anything but a foregone conclusion.
I was also searching on this topic because I want to test the handling of expired passwords by a script. I don't have an account that's currently expired whose password I know, and I was hoping to avoid the hassles of setting up a sandbox environment just
for this. Unfortunately, you're not answering the question, you're answering your hasty assumptions about the reason the question was asked.
In this case, it appears that the correct answer is that you can't do it. But if that's the answer, then *say* it. It's one thing to include in the answer "*if* the reason you're asking this is that you want to do such-and-such, here's how you can do it...",
as long as you don't substitute that for a response to the question that was asked. But saying "I'm going to answer a different question, and it's for your own good, because I assume I know what you really want to accomplish and you just didn't know how to
ask the right question" is patronizing, and often unhelpful.
Maybe he wanted to test if the password will expire in days notification is showing in the system tray in a particular user who is having issue with it. And he is looking for a way to do this without affecting an entire group, and without moving the single
user in a different OU...

It takes a lot of fortitude to log nearly five decades in a band as infamously tempestuous as Fleetwood Mac, so even though he isn't the most vocal fellow in the group, we know John McVie is a strong person. And according to McVie's longtime bandmate Stevie Nicks, it's that strength that will pull him through his recent cancer scare.
Stevie Nicks Officiates Wedding of Two Music Stars
Having lived a very public life for nearly 40 years, you'd think there wasn't much that we didn't already know about Stevie Nicks. But today (Dec. 28) we learn that she can officiate weddings. Yesterday she presided over the marriage between singer-songwriter Vanessa Carlton and John McCauley, the frontman of indie band Deer Tick.
Fleetwood Mac's Classic Lineup Inching Closer to Reunion
Fleetwood Mac are on hold while bassist John McVie sorts out his recent health scare, but once he's back on the mend, it's looking more and more likely that the band will welcome back a former member.

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on
a going-concern basis which presumes the realization of assets and
discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the
foreseeable future. The Company reported a loss of $1,682,729 for the
three months ended March 31, 2008, has a shareholders' deficiency of
$5,055,125 as at March 31, 2008 and has experienced significant
operating losses and cash outflows from operations since its
inception. The Company has operating and liquidity concerns due to
its significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations.
The Company's ability to continue as a going-concern is uncertain and
is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital to
successfully complete its research and development programs,
commercialize its technologies, obtain regulatory approvals for its
products and ultimately, generate profitable operations and positive
operating cash flows. It is not possible at this time to predict the
outcome of these matters. It will be necessary for the Company to
raise additional funds for the continuing development and marketing
of its technologies. These consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments and classifications to the carrying values of
assets and liabilities that may be required should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern.

Remember Me
-Hank III
Williams seems to walk in a decisive arena of right and wrong, with a strong sense of justice and a deep appreciation for those he sees as kindred spirits. He dedicates the ten-minute song "P.F.F." ("Punch Fight Fuck") to GG Allin. Williams says, "It just seemed natural to want to dedicate a song to him." He cited Allin's similarly diverse group of musical interests ("GG was also into the country music and hard rock and heavy metal and that's another reason I'm full on about GG") and his own tour with the Murder Junkies and getting to know GG's brother, Merle Allin, as reasons for the dedication. But, he's also moved by the hobo kids who have embraced his music.
There is a certain beauty in saying "fuck society," and it's an intrinsic part of our collective American psyche. We all secretly want to "light out for the territories" like Huck Finn, or at least tell Bill Lumbergh we aren't going to come in on Saturday. Williams taps into that desire to stick a huge middle finger in our boss' face. The obstinate darkness that clangs in his music, whether it's shredding the stage with Assjack, breaking hearts with honky tonk or busting out the hellbilly, is the unifying thread in his seemingly disparate interests and influences.
"I guess we're breaking some boundaries," he says of his diverse audience. "I would say for all of the different styles of people that come together, most of the time it's pretty amazing how good everybody watches out for everybody else's back. Once in awhile we see bad shit go down, and we try to end that as soon as possible, but everybody gets along pretty damn good for the 18-to-80 year old crowd that gets in there. It took us awhile to get the respect of the black t-shirts and I guess it gave us that forever kind of youth feeling. I guess if we're getting a little acceptance from the rock community, then we are getting something that none of the other country artists will ever have coming to their shows. It's an interesting mix. Sometimes in the bigger cities we get more of the mixed audience, but in the smaller towns, such as Lubbock, Texas, we're working hard just to get the diversity out there. It's definitely an interesting audience, a loyal audience, that's been there for us for a long time."
Williams also wanted to make sure that his fans know, "The very last tour we were supposed to do, I had an internal person not listen to me and book a tour, and then we had a bunch of pissed off fans that had bought tickets. I would definitely like to apologize to those folks and let them know someone was not doing their job, pulled the trigger when they weren't supposed to and we'll make it up the fans someway, somehow. For anybody who got a ticket, we're definitely sorry about not showing up."
The "Jekyll and Hyde" show will be hitting the road in the near future, as Williams assured me, "Assjack is rehearsing." Meanwhile, Williams is counting down the days until he's free of Curb.
"Just to have the freedom to work, to put everything out there we've been working on and not have to worry about, 'Okay this person doesn't like that, so I got to have their lawyer talk to my lawyer about singing with this dude, or something.' I just won't have to worry about being a prisoner, that's the easiest way to put it. Little things, they just hold you back. I just hope to have a good enough team to put it all out there - the rock stuff, the country stuff, the weird stuff. You know, just get our little foundation and tour until I can't tour no more; keep doing what we've been doing for a long time. That's the main goal, the longevity. I'm hoping to keep doing both sides until I'm 50, if I can make it that long. I'll be alright. I feel good about it. We'll have to see. Time will tell on that one."

for the kids that listen to hardcore, check out super joint ritual. hank plays bass on their second album, it's brutal stuff.
Im really not one to hate on musicians, and I am honestly not that familiar with Hank III's music, but from a cursory reading of his interview, this guy frankly sounds like a pretty stupid and arrogant person. Am I the only one who found this interview to be largely unintelligible...
yes you are.
yup, just you greegoat... Hank I, Hank II, Hank III - it don't get more real than the Williams boys...
Love some Hank III, especially in October...stoned & driftin', too far gone!
Just so you know, so it's it's set in stone,
Kid Rock don't come from where I come from:
Yeah, it's true, he's a Yank, he ain't no son of Hank:
If you even thought so, god-damn, you're fucking dumb.
Great read, long live Hellbillys
hank III is the man. ive been seeing this guy live for the past 5 years, very down to earth. everytime i have seen him, after the show, he meets and greets and takes photos with all the fans. same thing with his bass player joe buck. i applaud jambase for showing interest in one of the last true outlaws in country music. can't wait for the next tour. whiskey weed and women!
Talent and heart must have skipped a generation with Jr., because Sr. and III are both fantastic in their own right. I love thus guy's work and attitude... Somethin' real in a world of fluff.
My buddy played some Hank III and I liked his honesty. I bet a show would be a gas.
Good article.
yhea, hank 3, his daddy n his daddys daddy. pretty much the way i see shit.
can't wait 'til Hank is free from that BS Curb contract so he can put out whatever he wants and start his own label!!
Hell ya hank, to bad Hank Jr. is out supporting that dumb bitch sara palin in colorado springs today, have a talkin with your old man will ya!

French Power Bills Rise to Fund Renewables; EDF Faces Shortfall
France said household power bills will rise by an average 2.5 percent next year to pay for the increased cost of generating and supplying clean energy.
The change reflects a jump in the so-called CSPE tax, which is designed to pay for renewable and other energy subsidies, Environment Minister Delphine Batho said today. The cost of the subsidies will climb 21 percent, according to the regulator.
France is seeking to fund an expansion of renewable-power output as President Francois Hollande scales back the country's reliance on nuclear energy. The 3-euro ($3.98) boost to the CSPE levy is less than half the increase sought by the regulator to allow power utility Electricite de France SA to cover its costs.
The tax will rise to 13.5 euros a megawatt-hour next year from 10.5 euros, Batho said in a statement. The watchdog had already said that level wouldn't enable EDF to meet its costs of supplying renewable energy, special power rates for low-income households and service to rural areas. Unless it's raised to 18.8 euros, EDF's efforts to cover its expenses will fall short by 2 billion euros next year, according to the regulator.
Closing that deficit will take "several years," Batho said. The financing of renewable power will form part France's policy debate on energy in the coming months, she said.
EDF's net financial debt increased to 39.7 billion euros at the end of June from 33.3 billion euros at the end of last year.

Deal will bring Yahoo exclusive content and premium video ad inventory.
Yahoo and ABC News will share content and ad sales resources as part of a new partnership announced this morning. The relationship will include a prominent integration of ABC News across Yahoo's properties, including the launch of Good Morning America on a Yahoo domain at GMA.yahoo.com.
ABC News will lead the sales integration during the television upfront selling period, and Yahoo will oversee sales during the rest of the year. Ad sales will focus on premium video placements, including for a series of exclusive ABC "Newsmakers" shows that will roll out this year and next. Personalities slated for that series include Christiane Amanpour, Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer, and Barbara Walters.
To kick off the partnership, Yahoo and ABC News are playing up George Stephanopoulos's live interview with President Barack Obama that will debut at 2:35pm this afternoon on Yahoo.com and ABCNews.com before its TV broadcast.
At a press conference in New York this morning, top broadcast talent from ABC News showed up to hail the partnership - and in particular the original Yahoo-only programming to which they'll contribute. That programming will consist of longer versions of edited broadcast interviews.
Katie Couric told the assembled news media, "It creates incredible opportunities to do expanded interviews [and] to dig a little deeper where you have the luxury of time."
The alliance does not come out of the blue however. Since early this year, Yahoo has integrated ABC News around major media events, including the British Royal Wedding and the 10th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. Ross Levinsohn, Yahoo's EVP of Americas, emphasized the scale of the partnership goes well beyond what Yahoo would ordinarily publish through a traditional licensing arrangement.
"This is taking it to the next level," Levionsohn said. With regard to political news in particular, he suggested Yahoo users will notice a big increase in coverage of the 2012 presidential and congressional elections.
In the below video, Levinsohn and ABC News boss Ben Sherwood discuss the germination of the companies' premium video plans.

Breakthrough approach lengthens survival, to varying degrees, for men with advanced disease, studies found,,
TUESDAY, April 27 (HealthDay News) -- The anticipated approval this week of a therapeutic prostate cancer vaccine by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration could be a milestone against the disease and cancer in general, experts say.
The vaccine, called Provenge, appears to extend survival in men with advanced prostate cancer, and it does so without the serious side effects associated with chemotherapy, radiation and hormone therapy.
"It is certainly exciting to see a drug that has made it this far and appears on the threshold of approval," said Dr. J. Len Lichtenfeld, the deputy chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society.
The vaccine is not aimed at preventing prostate cancer in men who have not developed the disease, and it is far from a cure for those who have it, Lichtenfeld cautioned. "Provenge represents a modest advance in survival for patients with advanced prostate cancer, but the drug doesn't delay the progression of the disease," he said.
Still, it might prove possible to use Provenge in the earlier stages of prostate cancer, where it might be even more effective, Lichtenfeld said. "The hope is if a vaccine is effective in late-stage disease that it is going to be even more effective in the earlier treatment of that same disease," he said.
But that benefit would have to be shown in clinical trials, Lichtenfeld said.
"If it does get approved it will be groundbreaking." Lichtenfeld said. "It will represent a new treatment option. It will have a modest impact on prostate cancer survival, but it's small changes in treatments over time that add up to a major improvement. So I wouldn't be discouraged by what is a small increment in survival."
Provenge is a therapeutic (not preventative) vaccine that is made from the patient's own white blood cells. Once re

Folic acid supplementation is dangerous – especially for pregnant women
In a 10-year study, 1,2 scientists found that women who take multivitamins containing folic acid increase their breast cancer risk by 20-30%.
Even more alarming are the associations between supplemental folic acid during pregnancy and death from breast cancer,17 and asthma and respiratory tract infections in children. 5-6
Read full article
Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, a B vitamin, which is abundant in green vegetables. Folate protects against birth defects known as neural tube defects (NTDs). Pregnant women could safely increase their folate status and prevent NTDs by eating green vegetables, but instead they are instructed to take folic acid supplements, putting them and their children at risk. Folic acid supplements are not a substitute for folate-containing green vegetables – there are inverse associations between maternal vegetable intake and childhood cancers. 12-13
Unlike synthetic folic acid, folate obtained from food sources – especially green vegetables – protects against breast and prostate cancer.
There is inverse relationship between dietary folate intake and breast and prostate cancer. 4,3 Chemical differences between folate and folic acid translate into differences in uptake and processing of these two substances by the cells in the intestinal wall – excess folic acid in the circulation can occur. Luckily, folate from food comes naturally packaged in balance with other micronutrients and the body regulates its absorption. 9
Rich sources of food folate

Dr. Fuhrman's Gentle Care FormulaMultivitamin does not contain folic acid
Supplemental folic acid has also been linked to prostate cancer3, colorectal cancer4, and overall cancer mortality.7 Because folate is abundant in the nutritarian diet, and synthetic folic acid is so potentially dangerous, folic acid is not included in Dr. Fuhrman's Gentle Caremultivitamin.
Dr. Fuhrman does not recommend prenatal vitamins because of the potentially harmful ingredients, such as folic acid.
