The overall research goal is to test the effectiveness of various CO2 thickener compounds that can induce very large changes in CO2 viscosity at typical injection and reservoir conditions associated with Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Oil Recovery (CO2-EOR).
The study consists of two phases. Phase 1 objectives are to (1) obtain commitment letters from CO2-EOR operators to provide oil, brine, and core field samples and information on field operating conditions for active or planned CO2-EOR floods, and (2) develop laboratory testing plans for Phase 2. The Phase 2 objective is to assess the performance of compounds that demonstrate the ability to both dissolve into and thicken CO2 in order to reduce CO2 mobility and increase oil recovery over a wide range of operational and field conditions in core tests
University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260
Although large-scale CO2-EOR is practiced domestically, the potential for expansion is enormous. The single greatest obstacle to fully realizing that potential is the inherently poor volumetric sweep efficiency of the process. The very low viscosity of high-pressure CO2 is problematic for EOR projects because it exacerbates CO2 gravity override and induces viscous fingering, early breakthrough, poor sweep efficiency, and high CO2 injected to oil recovered ratios.
Most of the CO2-EOR projects in the U.S. are in carbonate reservoirs, which tend to have high-permeability layers or networks of very high permeability fractures intermixed with low permeability layers or zones. Low viscosity CO2 causes conformance control issues; a significant portion of the injected CO2 flows into the higher permeability, watered‐out zones while a much smaller fraction of the CO2 enters the lower permeability, oil-bearing zones of interest. The result is very low sweep efficiencies in low permeabiltity zones during EOR operations.
DOE recently sponsored an extensive literature review of strategies for improved mobility and conformance control during CO2 floods. The findings indicated that the state‐of‐the‐art technique for mitigating unfavorable mobility ratios remains the water-alternating‐gas (WAG) process. Rather than implementing WAG or surfactant-alternating-gas (SAG) processes that require substantial amounts of water in an attempt to lower gas permeability, the University of Pittsburgh intends to dissolve a dilute (<1wt. percent) amount of a "thickener" or "viscosifier" into the CO2, thereby yielding a transparent, thermodynamically stable, high-pressure CO2‐rich phase that is significantly more viscous than pure CO2. This research is being funded through a DOE ARPA-E project which, if successful, will provide the compounds for testing under NETL's FE0010799 project.
The focus of the project is to design, synthesize, and characterize a CO2 thickener that costs less than $10/lb. yet can be manufactured on a large scale. By dissolving a dilute amount of a "thickener" or "viscosifier" into the CO2, a transparent, thermodynamically stable, high-pressure CO2‐rich phase is created that significantly increases viscosity over pure CO2. An increase in CO2 viscosity should reduce problems with carbon dioxide gravity override, viscous fingering, production well early CO2 breakthrough, poor sweep efficiency, and high injected CO2 to oil recovered ratios.
More than 90 percent of CO2-EOR floods employ water-intensive WAG processes for mobility control, creating a wide market for a CO2 thickener. A CO2 thickener has long been recognized as a game‐changing, transformative technology because of its potential to eliminate water injection for mobility control. Some of the remaining 10 percent of CO2-EOR projects that do not employ WAG are still plagued by mobility control issues. Therefore, the design of an economic CO2 thickener remains an extremely relevant research aspiration. These factors contribute to increased oil recovery, better recovery economics, and fewer environmental impacts.
Letters of commitment have been obtained from Denbury Resources, Kinder Morgan, Tabula Rasa, and Conoco Phillips. Discussions are ongoing with Denbury Resources concerning the equipment requirements for a field trial because Denbury appears to be the company most interested in pursuing one. In fact, a small single-well test of high-pressure pumps and static mixers to introduce CO2-soluble additives was conducted at a Denbury field under Dr. Enick's direction. Project personnel have made presentations concerning this work at the University of Rhode Island, Rochester University, Lawrence Berkely National Laboratory, an Industry Technology Facilitator Conference in Kuwait City, and at SPE, AIChE, and ACS conferences. Dr. Enick also received a request from Kinder Morgan, a major CO2 EOR operator, to consider recommending a natural gas liquid (NGL) (propane-heptane) thickener for a hydrocarbon miscible flood in the Yates field. Propane is easier to thicken than CO2, and many of the CO2-thickener candidates should work more readily in propane. Plans are being made to deliver a recommendation for an NGL thickener to Kinder Morgan for several options, including a propane pilot, a natural gas liquid (NGL) flood, or the injection of CO2-NGL mixtures.
Current Status (June 2015)
Carbon dioxide EOR operators have been contacted for letters of commitment to provide core, oil, and brine samples, as well as the necessary reservoir field data (e.g., pressure and temperature) from representative field(s) where the thickener would potentially enhance oil recovery. The operators' willingness to participate in a future field test—either a single well injectivity test or small-scale pilot test—will be determined to the extent possible. Denbury Resources, Kinder Morgan, Tabula Rasa, and Conoco Phillips have sent letters of commitment. Contact was made with Daikin, the manufacturer of a new environmentally benign fluoroacrylate. Fluoroacrylate is the main component of the polyFAST thickener that researchers are considering. (which was originally developed with a fluoroacrylate that was biopersistent and an environmental risk). Daikin representatives have visited the research group three times during the last year and have recently supplied Dr. Enick with samples of polyfluoroacrylates and polyFAST co-polymers based on their new monomer. Injection pumps and static mixers for use in adding a thickener to a CO2 pipeline were tested in association with Denbury Resources. Detailed plans for simulating EOR flooding in the laboratory using the most promising CO2 thickeners developed under ARPA-E funded research are also being developed. Phase 1 of this NETL project has been completed. A one-year no-cost extension to determine the optimal thickener (designed using ongoing ARPA-E funding) for use during Phase 2 of the NETL coreflood study was requested and granted. Phase 2 requires the identification of a CO2 thickener—present at 1wt. percent or less—capable of tripling the viscosity of CO2 flowing through a core. Based on falling ball viscometry, which is conducted at higher shear rates than those associated with flow through porous media, two compounds have been identified. Falling ball viscometry is simple to perform and can rapidly screen candidates for CO2 thickening capability; but because these CO2-thickener solutions exhibit higher viscosity at lower shear rates, the falling ball results tend to be pessimistic. Therefore both compounds are also being assessed in a flow-through-porous apparatus that yields a more meaningful viscosity result at shear rates commensurate with those that occur in the field. Researchers are contacting manufacturers of both compounds to assure that very large volumes of these compounds could be readily synthesized.
ARPA-e funded synthesis of new, small molecule thickeners is also continuing. For example, one promising candidate is capable of thickening CO2 100-fold at a concentration of 1wt%. However it requires extremely large concentrations of a co-solvent. This small-molecule thickener structure is currently being modified to reduce or eliminate the need for the co-solvent.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) - George Fant scored 13 points and Kahlil McDonald made 4 of 4 free throws in the final 1:04 as Western Kentucky held off Bowling Green 60-53 in a nonconference game Sunday.
After shooting 60.9 percent (14 of 23) in the first half, when they took a 33-21 lead, the Hilltoppers (3-6) slumped to 18.2 percent (4 of 22) in the second half.
Consequently, after Western Kentucky increased its lead to 18 points, 40-22, with 16:32 remaining, the Falcons (4-3) were able to battle back, tying the game at 53 on Scott Thomas' 3-pointer with 2:18 left.
It was Bowling Green's turn to go cold after that. The Falcons missed all four of their shots the rest of the way, including a missed dunk by A'uston Calhoun, while Western Kentucky made its final seven points from the free-throw line.
Thomas led Bowling Green with 16 points, including 14 in the second half.

I'm a longtime EA Sports FIFA Soccer fan. I have multiple editions of the franchise and it's probably the game that finds its way into my Xbox 360 the most.

The new made-from-scratch McDonald's has opened in Eastgate.
Four months after the demolition of the 40-year-old McDonald's building at 2130 Isaacs Ave., a new one has replaced it.
The fast food chain, owned by Adams Enterprises Inc. of the Tri-Cities, is the latest update to the McDonald's brand. The new 4,264-square-foot building is the most technologically advanced and energy efficient model offered by McDonald's, Adams Enterprises President Lee Adams has said.
Contractor WaynCo Construction Inc., which has worked on numerous McDonald's updates throughout the region, brings a new modern image to the chain that combines fast food with an atmosphere that invites customers to stay and linger.
The new aesthetic features a re-imagined roof; muted paint tones to replace the bold colors; wood tables and chairs along with, in some cases, vinyl-covered chairs resembling leather; contemporary lighting; expanded restrooms; and divided dining areas to distinguish larger groups from those on the go who want to lounge longer. The space also offers Wi-Fi and an expanded menu.
The previous building was 40 years old, according to Adams. The new 88-seat restaurant, which had an estimated construction value of $523,064, continues an infusion of new investment in Eastgate, along with the Cascade Farm & Outdoor store that opened in the neighborhood earlier this year.

Direct-to-DVD Trek movies?

Re: Direct-to-DVD Trek movies?
By "editing out" nudity and profanity, I mean they wouldn't be there in the first place, not that there would be two separate versions. There's no need for separate versions since show creators know their audience and network in advance, and know what is tolerated and expected.
I'd say premium cable has more of an expectation of adult content vs. streaming. I often notice gratuitous sex and nudity in Showtime and HBO, scenes that add nothing in particular to the story.
House of Cards
also had adult content, but I noticed places where they avoided sex and nudity where I think HBO or Showtime would have been more graphic. Maybe it was just Fincher's decision. Sometimes having someone be naked in a scene is just a distraction from whatever the scene is actually about.
HBO and Showtime have a narrow focus: sophisticated grownup tastes. Netflix and Amazon are going for a broader approach, catering to a range of audience types and depending on their movie-style ratings to help people decide what to watch. Kids' programming is important to both, for instance.
House of Cards
skews towards the premium cable end of the spectrum with some restraint, the Eli Roth series
Hemlock Grove
will certainly be a hard R,
Arrested Development
will probably stay close to what was permitted on FOX and
Under the Dome
will have to be FCC friendly, even on Amazon.
So on streaming, there's no adult-content level they need to hit, and they could do a PG-13
Star Trek
series since that's in keeping with the franchise's brand image. Maybe take more liberties with violence, but not so much with nudity and sex. The adult content would be in the complexity of the ideas (hopefully).
Though, if you're not suggesting nudity and swearing, why aren't you suggesting them? It would certainly be a radical shift, but so would graphic violence.
It's not in keeping with
Star Trek'
s brand image. Netflix or Amazon could do anything, in theory, from a show for toddlers to a XXX Vulcan Love Slave porn (assuming CBS let them). But the attraction of
Star Trek
for producers of a series is that it's a brand that means certain things to the potential audience, and it doesn't mean graphic sex or nudity.
A certain level of violence has been considered acceptable. Not torture-porn violence, but something that pushes it towards the edge of an R rating would be within the scope of the brand. It also makes more sense for the premise, which is that Starfleet is the sheriff on the frontier, dealing with threats. Violence gives the show credibility - yes, the threats are bad enough that Starfleet should be there. Sex and nudity are not integral to the premise.
There really is no such thing as "contemporary taste." There are many audiences with many tastes, an the trend is towards greater niche-ization of tastes so that people who want to see soft-core porn can watch HBO and Showtime (and probably Netflix and Amazon will have shows that push it that far), but there will also be shows that hit everywhere on the G to hard-R spectrum.
I could see a hard-R space opera series being a big hit on streaming or premium cable -
in space - but
Star Trek
is a brand that already has an identity. The hard-R space opera needs to be a new brand, built from scratch.

Each person enrolled in the program would receive a United States Health Insurance Card with an individual ID number. This is all anyone would need to receive care. The program established by H.R. 676 would cover all "medically necessary services without charging co-pays or deductibles. The services covered would include: primary care, in-patient, outpatient and emergency hospital care; prescription drugs, durable medical equipment; hearing, dental and vision care; chiropractic treatment; mental health services; and long-term care. There would be no limits in terms of "catastrophic coverage."
"This is not complicated," said Conyers. "I'll make it really simple for all those folks in Congress who are resisting: We want a single payer health-care system that every industrialized country in the world already has." ""

I want my life to be over. I want to end my life. I wish id never existed. I cant take life again anymore!
It usually gets better the longer you practice
AngelEyes........................... this world needs all the Light it can get..............you are part of the whole... we are all connected........you are not alone.

I am available for listening and trying to get you through this difficult time in your life............

Give us a chance to help you to move past your desperation.

Love, Light and Blessings,

I also want to end my life... Todays my last day
Are you still alive? Don't destroy your over longer harder life for this trivial one.
I want to end my life too
Give me some time. I am trying to figure out how to erase my own footprint. I want to disappear and never have been also. I paid my dues. Did good work when I was with the church and never did anyone harm. Life for me still doesn't work, so as soon as I figure out how to wish away my being, I will let you know.
that's mean God give you life and you said no sorry i' don't want it you should say '' thanks God I'm in life the time other peoples fight to still in life but ......
Not as mean as what you just said. This girl needs compassion which you seem to be incapable of giving.
Oh **** you, you psycho Jesus freak. It's funny how the most compassionate and caring people I have ever met are the ones who don't have a religion. Keep hiding behind god and being cruel to people. Watch how far it gets you. This girl came here in a hopeless attempt to get compassion and understanding. Not to be preached at and scorned at by a religious nut ball.
I said the exactly the same words to my (then) 3 year old sister when I was 6.

I am now 43 and repeat them every year.

Fortunately, she has the "gift of the gab" and has kept me alive for 37 years.

I can't wait until I get to 100...just to prove she is fallible.
Why do you feel that you have to give up on life so soon?...don't let whatever bad experience you're going through rob you of all the other good things in life..there's so much out there in this big wide world of ours..you just need to get out there and find what makes you happy. Give it a go!!..one day you'll look back and wonder why you ever felt the way you do now.
Don't give up:)........I've learnt that no matter how bad things are they will only get worst....no wait a minute!! that's not what I meant........I meant no matter how bad things are they aren't going to get better....ah wait wait.....ok here's what I meant......no matter how bad things are they aren't as bad as you think....that's it!!!
Wow! What do you say to that? Can with a few simple words expressed with concern from a stranger have some way of making the world seem right for the moment? I don't know you or even can begin to understand why you are feeling this way. I am being sincere that I want to and that you do matter to me.

I am sure that you have friends and loved ones that would miss you and even if you don't feel like that there are people that would miss you so much. What I am hearing is you are in pain of some sort and need help going through this tough time let people help you? You are not alone or the only one that has to carry life on your shoulders by yourself. Write a blog or a story and get this off your chest. Let us help with a little advice and comments. Most important is know that Life is often unfair and blind to everyone. It goes on and runs everyone over but we get up and chase it again with time. love.
take it easy. there is always a way out of everything. death is not gonna resolve anything. you just going to be the stupid girl that killed herself. theres always people that love you around. the little things in life is what makes it worth it. after the storm always comes a sunny day
The only constant in life is that it NEVER stays the same. Trust me. Your life will be different. And it will be different again and again and again and again. The secret is to wait out the bad times cause that time is destined to be past before you know it. Roll with it all and you will begin to enjoy the ebb and flow of life's movements. I know it sounds too simple, but its the truth.
I want to end my life too and I am determined to end it.
My husband Wants a divorce he took the children and I have no family no money no resourced. I have reached out to god to forgive me for my role but he refuses to be the man of god he use to be.

What's so wrong? *hugs*
wait till you get to 30...:)
I understand how it feels. I met a guy last year and the experience with him was so bad I feel like were still together even though I havnt seen him since January. He was physical with me. Left me pregnant. And the phyco logical damage he did to my head has left me so lost I feel suicidal 24/7. Everyone else's lives are moving forward but mine and I'm getting older. I've been in no close relationships or flings with guys but him. I'm literally stuck. I want to. But I feel like he's done something to me that's life ruining. I don't think he really sees what he's done. Plus he believes his right. I don't need to be put in this position and I'm petrified. . I'm confused and I'm worried. I cry too. Hes done something to me. He believes in his mind that I was rude. I'm so stuck.
Also before him I was beaten nearly to death for 3 1/2 years and I kept telling him to leave. I was in hospital from him. He went to jail. I just havnt focused on me. I'm petrified. That all these jerks who have no life and an opinion feel they've done nothing wrong but to " help" me. I don't need help. I'm a human being. I deserve to be treated just how they would like to. It's not hard. Or just go away I say. I know what I need to do actually. I need to leave. Just find a peaceful place. It's hard and I do cry. But if it really was suicide id do it. Not write about it. I guess I just don't like my post stress it's not nice.

The solution was to setup other network parameters inside sysctl.conf:
net.core.rmem_max = 16777216
net.core.wmem_max = 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 65536 16777216
After changing these values the speed increased from 100Mbit/s to 1Gbit/s.
We discussed this shortly with the support, but they can't explain why the origin values not worked for us.

the original settings have been optimized for compatibility some day in the past. There are a handful of servers around in the internet which do not reply to MWG when MWG runs on those "optimized" TCP settings. In case you ever need to talk to support because you find a host on the internet that simply does not seem to answer through MWG but works fine without or on a default MWG you may have in the lab, please keep the modified settings in mind and let support know they should check if that is the problem :-)

Adage says proposed biomass project in Shelton didn't pencil out
SHELTON - Adage, a joint-venture energy company, has abandoned its plans for a 55-megawatt power plant in Shelton to be fueled by wood waste, said Tom DePonty, spokesman for the company.
The reason, said DePonty, is "the increasingly difficult energy market for this type of energy development."
DePonty said his company has informed Mason County and the Olympic Region Clean Air Agency to quit processing permit applications for the project. He also informed the Port of Shelton that an option for leasing port property will be allowed to expire.
"We've always said there are three key parts to developing a project," DePonty said. "First there was permitting, which was going very well. Then there was the fuel supply, which also was going very well.
"The third part was the contract for power," he added. "Demand has been stagnant for new projects, and low natural gas prices and economic uncertainty has put downward pressure on the price of electricity."
Opposition to the project from area residents, who expressed concern about the effect of pollutants on people and the environment, was never really a factor, DePonty said.
"We have had a tremendous amount of support," he said. "Woody biomass fits well with Mason County."
Adage, a joint venture between the energy companies Areva and Duke Energy, will continue to exist, DePonty said. If the market bounces back and supports the development of renewable energy, the project could be revived.
Meanwhile, a similar project by Adage in Northern Florida also will not be pursued at this time, according to DePonty. That project has been fully permitted and was about to move ahead if only the electricity market had provided the financial incentive, he said.
Beth McBain, communications specialist for Concerned Citizens of Mason County, which opposed the project, said her group is "very happy" with the pullout by Adage.
"This is excellent for the health and safety of Mason County residents," she said. "We have been working (against the project) for one solid year."
Concerns about the project revolved around pollutants that would be released into the air, as well as the potential of groundwater contamination and damage to forestlands, she said.
Public Lands Commissioner Peter Goldmark sent a letter to the Port of Shelton commissioners last week questioning whether adequate wood waste would be available to supply the plant without ecological harm to the forests.
Even if the material were available, he said, it might be better used to produce biofuels or else to supply a facility that would burn it for both heat and power.
John Dobson, executive director for the Port of Shelton, said the decision by Adage was based on market conditions.
"The community has had a vigorous debate over this project, which has provided a valuable opportunity to show that such a plant could be constructed in such a way as to protect the environment of Mason County," Dobson said in a prepared statement. "What is most important is that there was a clear-eyed evaluation of the proposal, based on facts and not emotion."
Dobson estimates that the 55-megawatt plant would have been a $250-million investment in Mason County, with 400 jobs created during construction and 100 jobs needed for the operation.

Long Island, NY - "carports" search results
More on Carports
For many locations that deal in local carports, metal is chosen most of the time to build carports for several reasons. Metal doesnt have issues of cracking when the temperature is too hot or cold, it wont rot due to excessive rain or other water weather elements and its easier for maintenance issues. On the other hand many staffers at local carports locations will suggest wood because its more of an attractive feature for your home. With wood you can add things to it and you get the flexibility of being able to put on decorative features that metal doesnt have. Most websites with local carports locations provide free estimates on the final cost based on your description of what youd like. Youll be able to talk with people who have long term experience in dealing with local carports to assist you and give tips on building your carport. When you look online at websites with best local carports in your area they usually have pictures that can give you ideas of how youd like the finished product to look on your home. With the right assistance from contractors, you can have the carport youve been dreaming about.

Searching For New Criminals For The Millennium?
By Michael J. Schoppmann, Esq.
Picture an average office suite in suburban New York City. Suddenly, the office door is slammed open and in burst more than twenty FBI agents! Wearing bulletproof vests and with guns drawn, the FBI agents round up everyone in the office and begin pat-down personal searches. Employees are separated, detained and refused access to telephones. Miranda warnings are issued to everyone on the premises. Thousands of pages of documents are confiscated. Computers are seized as office personnel are interrogated in separate offices.
The targets? Drug lords? Organized crime? Terrorists? Counterfeiters? No. It's a physician's office on a quiet street in an affluent, suburban community -- just like a thousand others throughout New York. It's a billing investigation by Medicare.
Shocking? Absolutely. Exaggerated? Not a word of it. Still, you might be thinking, was the billing for patients never seen or services never rendered? No. Each of the patients was seen and treated. The "crime?" An interpretation of CPT coding for the documentation of pre-treatment examinations.
Since 1990, there has been a 400% increase in the number of physicians excluded from Medicare. By 1997, the rate had grown to nine physicians per day. While not every Medicare action takes the form of this physician's nightmare, every physician must be aware that the potential for such action does exist. Every physician must remain ever vigilant of the latest Medicare demands, no matter how obscure the regulation, in order to avoid a similar plight.
The greatest weapon in the hands of Medicare fraud investigators is the issue of documentation. Investigators have little interest in whether appropriate medical care was rendered or not. Instead, the first "red-flag" for a Medicare reviewer is the adequacy of documentation provided by the provider. "Documentation," according to Medicare, requires every medical record to indicate the following in a clear, accurate, legible manner:
- The Presenting Problem: A clear and complete notation or description as to the patient's complaints, conditions or reasons for presenting at the physician's office.
- Evaluation: A clear and complete notation or description of the physician's assessment and plan.
- Action Taken: A clear and complete notation or description of the personal and identifiable service(s) rendered. 1
According to Medicare, only when the services are described in a clear, accurate and legible manner, inclusive of all of the requirements set forth above, can a reviewer validate that services billed have been rendered; were appropriate for the patient's medical condition; met reasonable standards for medical care; and were billed and reimbursed under the most appropriate procedure code(s). 1
If Medicare finds insufficient documentation that can form the basis for more egregious accusations, such as the services were never rendered, were medically unnecessary, deviated from accepted standards and/or were billed inappropriately, this can then trigger a higher level of review as to whether the charges attendant to those services can be substantiated. If not, the charges will be considered "overpayments" which will lead to demands for repayment, and possibly removal from the Medicare program. Worse, it can also lead to criminal prosecution.
When conducting an investigation, Medicare possesses the legal capability to use even a single denied charge as a basis to formulate an "extrapolation" of the amount owed. Basically, if Medicare finds an error, it denies payment and then assumes that the same error carries back for a period of time. This creates what Medicare terms a "Claims Universe." The amount of the initially denied medical services is multiplied by the number of claims found in this universe, creating an amount for Medicare to demand as repayment from the physician.
The purpose of extrapolation is clear-to dramatically increase the amount of money to be sought from the physician. In fact, Medicare routinely extrapolates an overpayment per claim of less than fifty dollars into a demand for repayment of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Billing Resources
In years past, and even today, nearly all physicians placed their trust for billing proprieties with an office manager, bookkeeper or even the physician's own spouse. Physicians focused instead on meeting the rigors of practicing medicine, many possessing no knowledge as to the details of day-to-day office billing practices.
Today, however, ignorance (no matter how worthwhile or innocent the rationale) is truly no defense under the law. Physicians hold a personal, non-delegable responsibility for their billing practices, regardless of how complex the system may have become. Keeping the billing "in-house" requires constant supervision and monitoring of staff members and their efforts. Investments in training for staff members are an absolute necessity. Referring to an outside billing company requires diligence in investigating the experience, references and knowledge base of the firm to be utilized.2 Physicians must be especially wary of vendors who promise to "maximize their reimbursement."
Given today's climate, physicians are well advised to employ "preventive medicine." An audit of Medicare billing practices and the office's overall legal structure should be a mandatory, routine effort for every medical practice. For obvious reasons, such an audit should not be performed by the same company the physician has retained to perform day-to-day billing. In fact, some physicians have even gone as far as having this audit performed through the offices of their health law counsel, so that the attorney-client privilege may be invoked to limit any disclosure of the audit results.
Medical Equipment Companies
A classic scenario which entangles physicians in a Medicare fraud investigation involves the utilization of, or contracting with, a medical equipment company. Physicians have routinely relied upon the "claims" or assurances of the company regarding the propriety and/or legality of the relationship and the billing methodology being recommended by the medical equipment company. When a Medicare fraud investigation brings down that company, however, the newly obtained list of physicians utilizing their services becomes a tailor-made target list for further investigations.
Physicians' claims that they relied upon assurances of company personnel who are now either indicted, convicted, missing or cooperating with that very same Medicare fraud investigation will fall upon deaf ears. No physician should ever rely upon assurances of anyone who stands to gain from the sale, lease or ongoing billing of medical equipment. Any such relationship should only be commenced upon the receipt of an appropriate opinion letter from experienced heath law counsel, confirming its propriety from all aspects of regulatory/legal review.
In conclusion, it is reality that demands that physicians act. Medicare has been empowered to target physicians as the new criminals for the coming millennium. To escape that grasp, every physician must, today, scrutinize his/her billing methodology, re-evaluate the quality of their personnel, analyze and confirm the legitimacy of their business relationships and initiate a system of detailed documentation. Should you, as a physician, consider doing otherwise, think of your own quiet New York street, an FBI van pulls to the curb...

Tummy Tuck in Austin
Sculpt and Define Your Figure
Considering having a tummy tuck in Austin? Personique has performed thousands of tummy tuck procedures with consistently stunning results! This procedure, also referred to as abdominoplasty surgery, is a very popular procedure that removes loose skin and excess fat from the abdomen region to restore a flat, contoured midsection. It is especially great for tightening lax stomach muscles that have been stretched beyond the limits of natural repair as a result of pregnancy.
What Does a Tummy Tuck Do?
A tummy tuck aims not only to remove excess fat deposits from the stomach, but has the additional element of repairing and tightening the abdominal muscles and removing excess, hanging skin. As we get older, there are a number of things that can wreak havoc on our midsection, particularly weight fluctuation and childbearing.
These circumstances can make it incredibly difficult to regain tone and tightness in the abdomen, regardless of how many sit-ups we do or calories we cut. This is most likely because the abdominal muscles have been damaged or weakened, causing the stomach to protrude. This frequently happens during pregnancy when the stretching of the stomach causes the abdominal muscles to separate. Once this happens, no amount of diet or exercise will deliver the results you desire, not until the muscles are repaired. Often, the skin is also stretched beyond the limits of natural repair during pregnancy and weight fluctuation, leaving the individual with loose, hanging skin.
A tummy tuck procedure addresses all of these issues by streamlining and sculpting the midsection, restoring your stomach to a more youthful state.
What Happens During Abdominoplasty Surgery?
Personique performs tummy tucks in Austin on both men and women alike. There are several different variations of the procedure that range from mini tummy tuck to full abdominoplasty. The technique that is best for you will depend on your individual situation and how much excess skin and fat needs to be removed.
- Once anesthesia has been administered, a horizontal incision is made just below the bikini area. The length of this incision depends on the amount of excess fat and skin to be removed. The incision can typically be concealed under most swimsuits and undergarments.
- Your surgeon will then place sutures in the fascia of the abdominal muscles. The muscles are then pulled and stitched back together at the body's midline to create a flatter tummy shape.
- Once the muscles have been repaired, excess fat is removed either by liposuction, manual extraction or both.
- Next, the skin is pulled down over the incision line and the excess skin is excised.
- At this point, your surgeon will cut a hole in the redraped skin and suture it around your navel to fashion a new belly button.
- Finally, once the skin is secured in place, your incisions are closed up.
- The result is a tighter, flatter mid-section.
What is the Recovery Period Like for Abdominoplasty?
Most of our Austin tummy tuck procedures are performed on an out-patient basis and patients are able to return home the same day of the surgery. You will need to arrange for a family member or trusted friend to pick you up from the clinic. It is recommended to have someone stay with you for the first day or so to help out during this time.
For the first week after your surgery, you will likely experience minor bruising and swelling. Some pain and discomfort may be experienced in the first few days, which can be controlled with medication prescribed to you by your doctor. Your level of pain will depend on the extent of your tummy tuck procedure, as well as your individual pain tolerance. After a few days, pain and swelling will begin to dissipate. Some bruising may remain but this will go away with time as well.
You will be given instructions on showering and changing your dressings post-op. Most doctors will recommend that a surgical garment be worn the first few weeks after surgery to reduce swelling. You may also be instructed to wear compression hose for a period of time to reduce the risk of clots forming in the legs. Though you should minimize physical activity for the first few weeks, patients are encouraged to begin light walking as soon as they can to promote the healing process and prevent clots. However, too much exercise initially can actually hinder tummy tuck recovery.
As long as you follow your doctor's post-op directions, your tummy tuck recovery should go smoothly and most patients are back at work within 10 days. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled for after your procedure. These appointments will provide your surgeon with feedback on your tummy tuck recovery and you can get answers to any questions or concerns you may have regarding your tummy tuck recovery period. The first follow-up appointment is typically for drain removal, which may or may not coincide with the removal of your sutures. Depending on the extent of your abdominoplasty procedure, your surgeon may require you to come in more or less frequently.
Your new figure may be visible within a week of your surgery and will continue to improve over time as swelling goes down. If you have any questions throughout your tummy tuck recovery period, please feel free to call our office at (512) 459-6800.
What is the Typical Cost of Abdominoplasty Surgery in Austin?
The cost of tummy tucks in Austin varies from patient to patient and depends largely on the extent of the procedure. For instance, a mini tummy tuck will generally be less expensive than a more complicated full tummy tuck that requires more time in surgery and additional work for the surgeon.
The overall cost of tummy tucks in Austin is an aggregate of several different costs, which include the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, operating room as well as follow-up visits. The amount of the surgeon's fee depends on the extent and complexity of the tummy tuck procedure, as well as the experience and skill of your Austin plastic surgeon. Surgeons who are highly-qualified and well-known for achieving exceptional results might charge higher fees since they tend to be in higher demand. While choosing a highly qualified plastic surgeon with an excellent reputation may run a bit higher, the extra cost is usually worth it when it comes to surgical procedures like a tummy tuck.
Overall, cost of tummy tucks in the U.S. typically range anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000, with averages usually falling in the $5,000 – $6,000 range. Though, depending on the type of tummy tuck procedure, prices can be higher. Most plastic surgery clinics have different financing options available to help patients break the cost of tummy tuck surgery into more affordable monthly payments. Healthcare financing plans like those offered through CareCredit offer tummy tuck patients special financing with low monthly payment options and no up-front costs.

Ohio State jumps back to 12th in latest AP Poll
After bouncing up and down the last two weeks within college football's Associated Press (AP) Poll, the Ohio State Buckeyes (5-0, 1-0 B1G) have jumped back up two spots to #12 in country after their big conference win against then-20th ranked Michigan State (3-2, 0-1 B1G) yesterday afternoon in East Lansing, MI.
The Buckeyes, who at times struggled with lesser competition during their four-week non-conference portion of the 2012 schedule, had been dropped two weeks ago even after a victory over the Cal Golden Bears. This time around the voters rewarded the Bucks for their win, this one being on the road to a ranked opponent.
Alabama remained in the top spot after their 33-14 win over SEC foe Ole Miss.
The rest of the Top-5 rounded out this week with Oregon, Florida State, LSU and Georgia, respectively.
The Big Ten Conference now has three teams in the Top-25 with Nebraska ranked 21st after their comeback win against Wisconsin last night and Northwestern (5-0, 1-0 B1G), making their first appearance of 2012 after their home victory against the Hoosiers, at 24th.
