When did the management of the prescription benefit change for Medicaid Members from the Vendor Drug Program to Superior? When did US Script begin processing Superior claims for Medicaid Members?
MCO organizations began overseeing the prescription benefits of their Medicaid Members on March 1, 2012. This is also the date US Script began processing the claims of these Superior Members. US Script is the PBM for Superior.
How is the Vendor Drug Program used for Superior Medicaid Members?
US Script is the exclusive Provider for pharmacy services for Superior Medicaid Members. The Vendor Drug Program will continue to provide pharmacy benefits for Medicaid Members served by traditional Medicaid. The Texas Vendor Drug program does supply the Texas Medicaid Preferred Drug List (PDL) and Clinical Edit criteria that are utilized by US Script to provide benefits for Superior Medicaid Members.
Do pharmacies and prescribers contact Superior for pharmacy questions about prior authorizations, clinical edits, quantity limits or regarding claims?
No. Superior is contracted with US Script, which is our PBM. A PBM is a company that manages and administers pharmacy benefits. Providers may call US Script to inquire about prior authorizations, clinical edits, quantity limits or to request a peer-to-peer review with a US Script Pharmacist. Pharmacies should refer to the US Script help desk for assistance with all non-Medicare claims. Pharmacies should refer to the Argus help desk for assistance with claims for Medicare.
How do I contact Argus as a pharmacist with a Medicare Advantage claim concern?
Argus will assist local pharmacy staff directly with questions regarding claims. Call 1-877-935-8021.
What pharmacies does US Script have contracts with?
US Script has contracted with more than 95% of the current Vendor Drug Program pharmacy Providers in Texas. The US Script pharmacy network includes the national chain pharmacies (e.g. Walgreen's, CVS, HEB, Wal-Mart, Target, and Randall's), as well as a large number of independent pharmacies. US Script's pharmacy network can be accessed online at http://www.superiorhealthplan.com/for-members/find-a-doctor, or by calling Superior's Member Services Department. It is important to note that any pharmacy providing services for Superior Medicaid Members must be a Vendor Drug Program participant plus be contracted by US Script.
How is a Medicaid Member's prescription processed if out-of-state?
Any pharmacy providing services for Superior Medicaid Members must be a Vendor Drug Program participant plus be contracted by US Script. If you are an out-of-state pharmacy Provider please contact the Texas Vendor Drug Program directly to become a VDP pharmacy Provider and also contact US Script to contract with our PBM.
What formulary will US Script use?
Texas Medicaid and CHIP formularies are provided by the Texas Vendor Drug Program and are used for Medicaid and CHIP Members. US Script uses the Ambetter formulary for Ambetter Members. US Script and its contracted claims processor (Argus) use the Medicare Advantage formulary for Advantage Members. All formularies are posted on our Superior HealthPlan website.
Where can I find the formulary and list of drugs requiring prior authorization? Where do I find Superior Medicaid Clinical Edit criteria?
- The Texas Medicaid Formulary is available via the Texas Vendor Drug Program Website. The formulary is regularly updated and posted by the VDP at www.txvendordrug.com
- The Texas Medicaid Prior Authorization Criteria is available via the Texas Vendor Drug Program website at http://www.txvendordrug.com/dur/Criteria.shtml
- A link to clinical criteria for non-preferred medications is available on the Superior web site at http://www.superiorhealthplan.com/for-providers/pharmacy/clinical-criteria-requirements/
- Clinical Edits are created by the Texas Vendor Drug Program. A direct link to all clinical edits currently used by Superior for Medicaid members is available at http://www.superiorhealthplan.com/for-providers/pharmacy/clinical-edits/
- The Ambetter Formulary is available at http://www.superiorhealthplan.com/for-providers/pharmacy/clinical-criteria-requirements/
- The Medicare Advantage Formulary is available at http://advantage.superiorhealthplan.com/home/prescription-drug-part-d-benefit-information/formulary/
What is a quantity limit? How is a quantity limit handled?
A quantity limit may reduce the number (or amount) of drugs covered within a certain time period. Quantity limits are designed to limit the use of selected drugs for quality and safety reasons. The quantity limit for each drug is supported by FDA-recommended use of the product and per approved dosing instruction in the package insert. This utilization management program encourages appropriate drug use. If a quantity limit is programmed for a medication and the prescription is outside of this predetermined quantity limit the local pharmacist will review the original request for safety. If the drug is deemed safe at this higher dose/quantity a supply of up to 15 days will be dispensed. The Provider should contact US Script to request a prior authorization approval for this dose to fulfill any balance request of the larger quantity per day supply.
What is step therapy? Are step therapy edits included for Medicaid patients?
Step therapy is an approach to prescription coverage intended to control the costs and risks posed by prescription drugs. A step therapy edit starts with the most cost-effective and safest drug therapy and progresses to other more costly or less safe therapies only if necessary. Currently, the Texas Vendor Drug Program PDL is enforced for Medicaid Members. Step Therapy edits are not part of the Texas Vendor Drug Program at this time.
How is generic substitution handled?
The Texas Vendor Drug Program has a list of preferred medications on the Preferred Drug List (PDL). A drug that is covered under this PDL may be either brand or generic. Both the brand and its available generic generally are not both covered. Thus, generic substitution does not occur since only one product will be the covered entity. The prescriber is encouraged to reference the Vendor Drug Program when prescribing medication for the most up-to-date, covered medication entity.
What is Therapeutic Interchange?
Therapeutic interchange involves the dispensing of medications which are chemically different, but therapeutically similar in nature. Therapeutic interchange generally occurs for cost control and under the approval of a prescriber. We do not refuse coverage of any covered product under the Texas Vendor Drug Program in lieu of a similar covered product for cost control reasons. We may, however, contact the Provider to provide education on the Texas Vendor Drug Program formulary and all of the covered alternatives available for Members. Any changes to medication at any time should only be made under the Provider's careful consideration.
What are the responsibilities of the Superior Pharmacy Department?
- Assistance with specialty medication services, to include prior authorization for HHSC specialty drugs cross-referenced to the Texas provider's manual
- Synagis prior authorization requests
- Authorization request for Medicaid outpatient injectable medications (J Code Drugs)
- Authorization request for Ambetter outpatient injectable medications (J Code Drugs)
- Pharmacy quality improvement projects
- HEDIS measures involving pharmacy, measures to improve adherence
- Medicare adherence outreaches
- Assisting with recommendations for alternatives to high risk medications or HRMs
- Assisting offices, patients and pharmacies with gap in care concerns
- Retrospective Drug Utilization Review (DUR)
- Lock-in submission to Office of Inspector General (OIG)
How do I request a Medicare Part B Prior Authorization?
Requests for Medicare Part B Prior Authorization are handled by Superior's Medicare Medical Management Department. Call 1-800-218-7508 or fax 1-877-808-9398.
Who will be responsible for issuing prior authorizations for medications?
US Script is responsible for receipt and processing of prior authorization requests for medications to be dispensed through a pharmacy that are non-preferred on the Medicaid Preferred Drug List (PDL). US Script is also responsible for processing all authorization requests for review of exceptions to clinical edits or quantity limits applied. US Script will also process prior authorization for exceptions to Part D Medicare prescriptions. Non-preferred products on the Ambetter formulary requiring prior authorization are also handled by US Script. Superior HealthPlan retains responsibility for prior authorization of medication not dispensed through a pharmacy. These medications are most often billed by physician offices using HCPCS-J-codes. Superior HealthPlan Pharmacy Department is responsible for processing prior authorization of all HHSC specialty drugs cross-referenced to the Texas provider's manual. The health plan pharmacy department also reviews all Synagis prior authorization requests. These medications are filled by our preferred specialty pharmacies: AcariaHealth or CVS/Caremark, except when there are cases of limited drug distribution.
How do I request Prior Authorization for Durable Medical Equipment/Medical Supplies?
The Texas Vendor Drug Program has a limited home health supplies list and many items such as insulin syringes and test strips are included in this coverage. The products are billed at a retail pharmacy via US Script, our PBM. A link to this information can be found at http://www.txvendordrug.com/formulary/limited-hhs.shtml. Covered Durable Medical Equipment/Medical Supplies may be obtained through a Superior HealthPlan participating Provider. To request a prior authorization from the Superior DME Prior Authorization Department please call 1-800-218-7508 ext. 53227.
How is a Medicaid COB edit (POS 41) occurring at point of sale?
COB is the coordination of benefits for members who have other coverage in addition to Medicaid. When eligibility files indicate a Member has other coverage and attempts to fill at retail, the POS 41 message 'SUBMIT BILL TO OTHER PROCESSOR OR PRIMARY PAYOR' will occur.
This message should be addressed at the local pharmacy by doing the following:
- Retail pharmacy will ask Member for the alternate insurance card, enter and process the claim under the other insurance.
- If Member does not have any other insurance or indicates this other coverage is no longer effective a retail pharmacy will contact the US Script Help Desk for an override for COB.
- After the override, the Member will be mailed a letter asking that the member please correct the eligibility status with the local Medicaid office.
- Member will contact Medicaid office directly to remove the other insurance from the account or COB edits may continue to fire.

The hotel is located in a building constructed in the early 20th Century, which still preserves the ancient atmosphere and particular details of the period, as some multi-colored ceramic floors. Part of the building has been modernized with warm parquet floors and beautiful marble.
At the entrance, as in other common areas, you can find a typical Tuscany tradition, underlined by the furniture and floors that are inspired to the ancient works of stones and marbles, which wonderful examples of this are preserved in Museum of the "Opificio delle Pietre Dure" in Florence.
The hotel has in five floors and has 34 rooms including single, double, triple, quadruple and family rooms. The large private garden and the parking give completeness to the majestic structure.
On request of the guest, Hotel Palazzo Vecchio offers rooms with a wonderful view of the cathedral of Florence (Duomo).
The strength of Hotel Palazzo Vecchio is the strategic location in the historical center of Florence, near to the main train station "Santa Maria Novella", the Congress Palace, the Cathedral, the exhibition center and all major monuments and museums of the city.

Ellen DeGeneres plans to wed longtime girlfriend Portia de Rossi, she announced during a taping of her show Thursday.
In the episode, airing Friday (the news was first reported by TMZ), DeGeneres revealed the big news and told the crowd, "I'm very excited." The announcement immediately followed the news that California's Supreme Court struck down a law banning gay marriage.
De Rossi, 35, was reportedly in the studio when DeGeneres – who just celebrated her 50th birthday – broke the news.
In what's sure to be a controversial decision, the California's Supreme Court ruled that people have a fundamental "right to marry" the partner of their choosing – therefore the previous ban on gay marriage was ruled unconstitutional.
The two stars began dating in December 2004, as de Rossi was appearing on the FOX sitcom Arrested Development.
One key to their happiness, DeGeneres said last year, is that they learn from one another. "She's taught me lessons about myself, and I feel like I've taught her," said the TV host. "We've both changed and grown, and we just feel like, 'Oh, okay, this is completion.' "

October 11th, 2013
I flew to Toronto this week, having been invited to participate on a panel at the TIFF Light Box. That's the name of the building you see above, in the heart of the downtown theatre and club district. By day it doesn't look like much from the outside, but at night it really does earn its name. More importantly, perhaps, the interior of the building is a marvel of architecture and engineering. It's a film lover's dream, an exquisite shrine to the moving picture. In addition to the Toronto International Film Festival offices, there are five theatres, all superbly appointed, acoustically perfect, comfortable, and warm. The lobby areas are spacious and inviting, with cosy armchairs and lounge areas for gabbing about films after you've seen them and need to talk. And the café scene is totally wonderful, with a first-class restaurant, café, and bar, of course. Once you're in there you just don't want to leave.
Funny thing, but I heard this week that the traffic through the theatres is pretty low. People don't seem to want to go downtown to see movies or else people aren't watching movies of the sort they are showing on their big screens. It's hard to know exactly what's wrong with the formula, because the environment is pretty well perfect. The TIFF programmers intended to showcase independent films, Canadian films, and documentaries to a public tired of explosions and tedious plot lines. The Light Box should be bringing in a lot of extra revenue to TIFF, helping to pay the expensive mortgage, but I heard that it was a struggle filling those theatres. I can't help but think that the same building in Montreal—let alone St. John's–would be filled to the rafters every night, and that there's just something about Toronto and the downtown location of the Light Box that keeps people from leaving the comfort of their iPads or computer screens in the suburbs. Doesn't Toronto have a passion for the good stuff, or is the TIFF event itself really mostly about glitter and making a deal, and not about the art of film? That's only partly rhetorical. I'm really not sure why the screenings aren't always packed.
That all said, the panel I was invited to was all about the history and challenges of women's film festivals, a subject about which I have a little knowledge. I'd say the Light Box theatre was respectably filled for a mid-morning weekday, and that was encouraging in itself. I spoke about the history of the St. John's International Women's Film Festival while others spoke more directly about the importance of history—of archiving, researching and keeping records of all the organizational and curatorial work that is carried out for festivals, and in particular the few women's film festivals that have survived through the decades. I think the message was inspiring to some younger people in the audience who might have thought there was little to research, nothing to learn or gain from dong that kind of history, but, of course, as with all social phenomena, we need to understand it to know where we are now.
TIFF wisely programs a "higher learning" series after the film festival itself and so the panel was part of that program. I was happy to get on yet another plane to be part of it. Time permitting, I would have stayed a little longer to hear David Cronenberg speak later in the week. Sometimes one can't do it all.

About This Book
A biography of a courageous woman, who was able to overcome her own handicaps with courage, commitment, and an unwillingness to accept her limitations. Blind, deaf, and unable to speak, Helen had no means of communicating with the world when she was young. With the help and friendship of Anne Sullivan and her own determination, Helen learned how to read, talk, and function in society, eventually graduating from college with honors.
In this easy-to-read biography, author Davidson focuses on the crucial early years of Helen's life when she was alone and unable to experience anything but the silent darkness that surrounded her. When readers learn how Anne Sullivan helped Helen escape this silence and adjust to the world, Davidson interweaves Helen's actual words into the dialogue. Events are highlighted with black-and-white photographs, and the story is well paced to keep the attention of even the most reluctant reader. Helen's life serves as a magnificent model, displaying how much people can accomplish if they persevere.

- Conference date: 26 September-1 October 2004
- Location: Santa Fe, New Mexico (USA)
Review articles are in preparation for the 2004 edition of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics dealing with the evaluation of both non‐neutron and neutron nuclear data. Data on the discovery of element 110, Darmstadtium, and element 111 have been officially accepted, while data on element 118 have been withdrawn. Data to be presented include revised values for very short‐lived nuclides, long‐lived nuclides, and beta‐beta decay measurements. There has been a reassessment of the spontaneous fission (sf) half‐lives, which distinguishes between sf decay half‐lives and cluster decay half‐lives, and with cluster‐fission decay. New measurements of isotopic abundance values for many elements will be discussed with an emphasis on the minor isotopes of interest for use in neutron activation analysis measurements. Neutron resonance integrals will be discussed emphasizing the differences between the calculated values obtained from the analytical integration over neutron resonances and the measured values in a neutron reactor‐spectrum, which does not quite conform to the assumed 1/E neutron energy spectrum. The method used to determine the neutron resonance integral from measurement, using neutron activation analysis, will be discussed.

Fire crews battled a house fire at 74 Canoncito Rd. in Cedar Crest on Thursday afternoon.
The fire started near a wood stove in the home, and flames quickly spread to the roof. The home is a total loss.
Relatives of the homeowners showed up Thursday to help them out.
Fire investigators are working to find out how the fire started.
There is a controlled burn in a nearby forest, but it was not related to the fire.

The Gaslight Anthem couldn't have come from any other state.
Forged from the New Brunswick punk scene's basement shows and heavily inspired by Bruce Springsteen, the band's roots are inextricable from their sound, lyrics and attitude. The sole band playing on home turf at All Points West, they will perform Sunday at the festival.
The two-and-a-half-year-old band includes frontman Brian Fallon, bassist Alex Levine, drummer Benny Horowitz and guitarist Alex Rosamilia. They released their first album, "Sink or Swim," on XOXO Records in May 2007, and their second album, "The '59 Sound," with SideOneDummy in August 2008.
The latter prompted Kerrang! magazine to name them them "Best New Band You'll Hear in 2008" and earned the band appearances on The Late Show and Late Night with Conan O'Brien.
Best of all? It also prompted Springsteen himself to learn the title track for a surprise guest appearance at England's Glastonbury Festival in June; his son, Evan, introduced him to the band.
While on tour between Europe and Asia, Fallon answered a few questions about the band via email. Of hearing the band frequently compared to Springsteen, he writes: "It's cool to be compared to a guy like that, and hey, if they wanna put me next in line, I got nothing to lose. Those are some nice shoes to walk in, right?"
Despite the comparisons, Gaslight Anthems' members maintain their own sound, with anthemic punk as strong an influence as the classics.
Fallon describes the Garden State's influence on the band's work: "I think the story-telling style is a traditional thing here, kind of rough around the edges. I mean, even Bon Jovi and Skid Row wrote about rougher things in their heydays."
"It's all Bruce'd, we all are. It's in the water. Dredge the Navesink River, and you'll find sneakers and a leather jacket, I'm sure."
The draw of classic musicians like Springsteen, along with Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Tom Petty and Sam Cooke, says Fallon, is that these musicians create "honest music" that "comes from grief and hope."
As the band writes from this starting point, their songs deal with loss, relationships and coming-of-age, making references that will resonate especially for locals -- sleeping on the beach, driving and frequenting diners.
For the record, Fallon prefers the pork roll egg and cheese sandwiches at the Edison diner on Route 1.
An earnest, gruff-voiced everyman with an endearingly romantic turn of phrase, Fallon emphasizes his down-to-earth outlook.
"After parties are not my forte," he writes. "I'm a meat and potatoes guy, famous people scare me."
"I'm much more comfortable around construction workers and screen printers."
The band's "Blue Jeans and White T-Shirts" -- title included -- seems to sum things up:
"We are the boys from Little Eden
We are the hardest Saturday nights
Drank from the fountains of the fireworks
Sweat and bone for a better life."

Based out of Austin, Texas, and originally formed four years ago by members of Okkervil River, Shearwater today includes Jonathan Meiburg, Thor Harris, Kim Burke, Jordan Geiger, and Kevin Schneider. The group's songs are often spare, dark and brooding, but it's not unusual to hear disjointed bells jangling in the distance, a raucously squealing outburst or touches of the avant garde. Strings, woodwinds and less common instrument choices like harp and hammer dulcimer are featured in many songs, and Meiburg's background as a biologist makes for an abundance of nature imagery.
Performing Friday at 2 p.m., second stage
St. Vincent
St. Vincent, a.k.a. Annie Clark, spins well-crafted, endlessly creative indie pop songs with vivid, perceptive lyrics. Based in Brooklyn, she does all her own stunts -- crystalline vocals balanced out by roaring guitar, bass, keyboards and instruments of her own creation. Her first two albums, both released to much critical acclaim, brought out crowdpleasing tracks like "Marry Me" and "Actor." Inspired by classic films, a cinematic quality runs through her work. Before striking out on her own, Clark performed with The Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens.
Performing Saturday at 6:05 p.m., second stage
Glittery electronics, psychedelic sounds and bits of funk collide in MGMT's approachable, summery pop. NME named their latest album, "Oracular Spectacular", the best of 2008. Formerly known as The Management, the band members are Andrew Vanwyngarden and Ben Goldwasser, who began their work together at Wesleyan College in 2002. They are now based in Brooklyn.
Performing Sunday at 9:35 p.m., second stage

B.J. Phillips was South Carolina's top-rated high school quarterback back in November 2005, when he agreed to play college football at North Carolina.
"It was the best choice," Phillips said then.
Three seasons, several injuries, a position switch and a UNC coaching change later, Phillips says he does not regret that decision. But he's also ready for a new start to his college career, at The Citadel.
"I'm just excited to get a new life," Phillips said earlier this week. "It's a new beginning for me, and I hope we can do some special things at The Citadel."
A 6-5, 260-pound tight end — he switched positions as a redshirt freshman at UNC — Phillips is finishing up his business degree in Chapel Hill and counting the days until he can join the Bulldogs for fall practice Aug. 6. He will enter The Citadel as a graduate student with two seasons of eligibility remaining.
"I kind of had a difficult experience my first three years of college football," said Phillips, who played at Spring Valley High School in Columbia for former Citadel player Jimmy Noonan. "I don't regret my decision to go to North Carolina, but I kind of wish I had played more of a role on the team than I did. My future didn't really lay there."
Coming out of Spring Valley, where he played with current Bulldogs Andre Roberts, Erik Clanton and Jonathan Glaspie, Phillips' future as a quarterback seemed bright. He had followed in the footsteps of his older brother, Greg, who played QB at Spring Valley and at Navy, and was one of the top prospects in the state in 2006.
"B.J. was a very versatile player as a quarterback," said Noonan, now the coach at Wando High School. "At 6-5 and 240, he was a very physical player. He was very comfortable throwing on the run and excelled with the play-action passing game.
"Despite his size, he really ran the option well for us. He made very good decisions on his feet, and he rushed for more than 800 yards his senior year."
Phillips and Roberts, now an All-America receiver for the Bulldogs, led Spring Valley to the Class AAAA Lower State title game in 2005, where the Vikings lost to a Richland Northeast team that had six
Division I signees on its roster. John Bunting, then the coach at UNC, brought in Phillips in the Tar Heels' 2006 recruiting class and redshirted him that season.
But Bunting was gone after a 3-9 season in 2006, replaced by Butch Davis. And in the spring of 2007, Phillips broke his thumb and had to miss summer workouts, dropping him to the bottom of the QB depth chart as fall practice approached.
With a change in coaches and in offensive style, Phillips volunteered to switch to tight end in an effort to get on the field, then broke his collarbone midway through the 2007 season. In 2008, he played in only one game, against Duke.
"I always felt I'd be a quarterback in college," Phillips said. "But it got to the point where my competitive desire took over, and I got tired of standing around watching other people do things. I wanted to get on the field, and I went to the coaches and said, 'Is there anything I can do?' I actually proposed moving to tight end to get out there and help the team instead of holding a clipboard."
As his redshirt sophomore season drew to a close, Phillips began to consider his options. With course credits from high school and heavy summer school hours, he was in position to graduate in three years and play his final two seasons at another school.
"I called Coach Noonan and told him what I was doing," Phillips said. "I knew he had a lot of connections with colleges, and he began contacting people for me. And the coaches at North Carolina were very supportive and also contacted people for me.
"But Coach Noonan has a special connection with The Citadel, and he got the ball rolling there for me. I actually visited some other places, but The Citadel was the right place for me."
At tight end, Phillips will team with redshirt junior Alex Sellars to replace All-Southern Conference pick Taylor Cornett. As a grad student, he will not be a member of the Corps of Cadets, just like former grad-student transfers Jeff Klein, Willie Simmons and Tim Higgins, the son of Bulldogs coach Kevin Higgins. Tim graduated from Florida before playing for the Bulldogs, while Klein and Simmons earned degrees from Auburn and Clemson, respectively.
Phillips said he's already learned a lot about The Citadel from his three Spring Valley teammates, and he comes from a military family. His father, Wayne, is a retired fighter pilot; both of his grandfathers served in the military; and brother Greg is a Marine fighter pilot stationed in Beaufort.
"There are other guys on the team I already know and have developed a good relationship with," B.J. said. "I know it's not the ideal situation, but I don't think I'll have any problem fitting in. Being on a football team requires so much time, you are around the guys so much. We'll all be living football and spending most of our time together. I think it will work out fine."
Said Noonan, "B.J. has a great head on his shoulders and knows what he wants out of the future. Every kid goes into high school and college thinking they will play at the next level. Ultimately, what they want is just to play as long as they can, and B.J. has that chance at The Citadel."

Employers may be hiring, but there's another big problem with the job market that isn't being tracked as closely: the hopelessly unemployed.
An often overlooked number calculated by the Labor Department shows millions of Americans want a job but haven't searched for one in at least a year. They've simply given up hope.
They're not counted as part of the labor force, the official unemployment rate, or the category the Labor Department refers to as "discouraged workers" — those who haven't bothered to look for work in the last four weeks.

Orlando Magic power forward Glen "Big Baby" Davis likely will be facing some trouble after a meltdown in an Orlando motel in which he reached over the front desk and ripped a keyboard off of the desk's computer.
UPDATE: Wednesday, November 13, 5:47 p.m. ET
The Orlando Magic have fined Davis an undisclosed amount for his role in this incident.
"We will not tolerate or condone this type of behavior," said Hennigan. "As we have stated repeatedly, when a player puts on an Orlando Magic uniform, he is representing something much greater than himself. We expect our players to uphold a certain standard of conduct and character at all times."
End of update---
Davis reportedly entered the Travelodge at around 4 a.m. on Nov. 8 and was informed that the rooms were all sold out. Following Davis' aggressive act, police were called, and they showed up after he had left the scene, as you can see in this video from TMZ Sports.
Davis has since apologized for his actions via Twitter.
In regards to the incident that occurred on Friday night, I want to sincerely apologize for my actions. There is no excuse for what I did...— Glen Davis (@iambigbaby11) November 12, 2013
... I was obviously wrong and I take full responsibility. I apologize to the Magic, my fans and the city of Orlando.— Glen Davis (@iambigbaby11) November 12, 2013

no 360 ganes catch my eye except forza 2 and thats not exclusive cause its on ps3 too.
PS3 now, sorry Wii. You gather dust.

Also, unlike the Virtual console, the 360 (xbox live) gets games by publishers that are unique and new (i.e. Geometry wars, notice after the release of it, Every Extend Extra was soon released for the Psp.). Now I'm not backing sides on both terms, as I do enjoy both systems (and I'm soon to purchase a 360.). You're telling me that Blue Dragon, in which the creators of Final Fantasy have made, gives you no interest? As well as playing a game that was made by the people who made the original Grand Theft Auto? Right now, you, as well as many other posters are in something I like to call "Fanboy Denial". As for Wii Play, it's just a cheap alternative for a Wii remote and game, while the in depth of it all isn't that compelling.
If I don't know you, and if I don't talk to you on the forums, don't send me a friend request. I won't add you and will not give you an explanation.
Wll for me I would never buy Lost Planet for 60 bucks along with most of those games. Thats another reason I like the Wii becuase the games are cheaper but are still fun (like DBZ, Zelda, Trauma Center, and Wario Ware) Plus when some of the game prices drop for some of the games like Red Steel and Elbits go down in price I'll buy them. But also most of Nintendo's games are for everyone meaning Mario, Super Smash, Zelda, Mario Kart etc there games that overal most people like them while games like Lost Planet may not be your thing same with alot of other gun games on the 360.Originally Posted by Wii_BrEnDo2007
Also someone said that the 360 has online, yes it does but who much are you paying for it? If you keep your 360 for 5 years your paying 250 bucks for online, while Wii owners get free online games, Free Demo Channel, Everyone votes channel, Weather Channel and News Channel Plus The Wii shop channel. Im not saying X-box live is not assume because it is but right now I see only a small hand ful of good online games like Gears of War and other gun
games but what if your not a gun game fan? Then the Wii fits you better seeing how it gets a couple of guy titles but also has great Puzzle, Adventure , action games. Plus if you have the Wii Browser (which is free until June) you can play Wiiarcade games which they have over 60 titles on it FOR FREE, hell there not the best games but just as good as most X-Box arcade games.
THIS may be the ace up Nintendo's sleeve.Originally Posted by JerrodDRagon
If the full function Opera browser for Wii offers even greater integration/optimization for browsing on the Wii, then there is a great possibility of the "Internet Channel" busting the doors wide open on the Wii's future.
There are already Wii-optimized websites. There are already "media center portal" solutions out there... all free.
Compare Microsoft's XNA initiative (and how tightly that is controlled) with out-in-the-wild Flash gaming found on the 'net. It's going to be a lot easier and cheaper for weekend coders and hobbyists to develop for the Wii (via the Internet Channel) than through XNA. Not to mention the extreme restrictions on accessing homegrown XNA apps.
The openness of the Wii offers greater opportunities than the tight-fisted locked down environment of the 360. Whether or not those opportunities will be explored is another matter.

there is one HUGE reason why the wii WILL surpass the 360, that being the fact that the wii has actually OUTSOLD the 360 everywhere else outside our region (north america). i know its hard for some of you, but there is a whole other world out there besides the usOriginally Posted by WeToYou
i think the Wii will catch up just fine as for beating 360 the leader right now because of the release date... they do need top title games before the price of 360's drop down to a wallet friendly level...say 249.99 for a full new system.. wii will be introuble without the games to back it up.. unless somehow they can manage to drop the price of the Wii as well... which with gamecube it was easy it wasnt expensive to make but to drop the Wii down to that 100-150 range i dont think they can afford to do atleast not soon im sure it will eventually... thats pretty much what saved the gamecube... you had Ps2 and xbox at pretty much the same price for new systems they dropped but still about 250-300 bucks then bam the gamecube hit 99 bucks... now no new systems were comming out at that time.. everyone had the system they liked.. but all of a sudden for the price of 2 games you get a new system.. thats when gamecube made its comeback... outsold xbox and came damn close to Ps2... but that was a few years down the line.. and with the online game play of the other 2 systems and the titles they have Wii will have to do almost all of that if they want to beat them...
toss in online game play fast,toss in top titles... and keep the nintendo rock bottom prices that even your grandma will buy one for her living room... and even the hardcore PS and Xbox fans have no good reason not to buy one...
its a wait and see thing but with they way they are selling nintendo will have enough money to do it

Should mention that I have had dairy issues in the past. However, lately I have been trying to work through them, starting with eating some yoghurt with every meal. Seems to be fine right now, but that could change. Am taking some digestive enzymes with the dairy currently & with every meal. Garden of Life RAW enzymes.
Did a dairy elimination for a month after starting primal, then couldn't add back into diet without pain. So I was off dairy for about 12 months, and have recently (with the suggestion of my gi doc) started adding in yoghurt again. Would like to try kefir instead for health.

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
This shoe is my flat shoe. It's my go to, and I am on my second pair. My first pair lasted two years before getting some holes in them, so I purchased my second pair. I recommend ordering 1.5-2 sizes down from your street shoe size. Be aware that mirella shoes run fairly narrow. I wear a width 1-2 in Russian Pointe shoes (can't fit into any widths in suffolk, bloch, capezio, etc), and wear a B in these mirella shoes. That is partially due to the fact that they do not stretch at all; I learned that the hard way after buying my first pair too narrow. Overall I think the shoe is durable, hugs the arch well, and is a great option for those with more narrow, tapered feet, as this shoe is tapered in the toe area.
Age: 15-18
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
This is my daughter's favorite shoe! She does not have a pronounced arch and this shoe gives the illusion of a beautiful shape. The stretch fabric fits wonderfully, the cut down, thin split sole hugs the foot for a beautiful line. This show also comes in a very narrow width! My only complaint is waiting for DDS to get my daughter's size back in stock(took 2 months last go around!)
I have taught ballet for many years, and this is the best shoe for narrow feet that we have found.
Age: 40-49
Of course everyone's feet and needs are different, but for me, this was a terrible slipper. Very thin material. The shoe kept slipping around to the sides of my feet, especially when turning which made it impossible to do so. It did not seem to have enough support or strength on the sides of the shoe. I did not like the feel of the pads. I also did not find this shoe to be particularly durable. For reference, I have also used sansha pro and bloch pump canvas ballet slippers.
Age: 22-29
I like these because they are not like all other canvas flats. The stretchy canvas, arch-hugging sleek shape, and padding in the forefoot and heel set them apart from the pack. The color is a nice pink, as well, and blends easily with most tights.
What would make me love them more? Get rid of the drawstring and pre-sew the elastics. Make those two changes and I'd have my dream shoe.
Fit: True to size
This is my favorite ballet show I have tried! My dance store in town only carries two types of canvas ballet shoes, Capezio and Sansha, neither of which look too good on my foot or hold up for long. I saw that one of the elites at my studio had this shoe and decided it would be worth a shot! And it absoloutly was! It was worth every penny, it is durable, and great for turning, and fit very well. Some of the other reviews complain about bunching in the lower heel area, and although I noticed the same thing, it doesn't bother me at all, as I believe most ballet shoes do this anyway! They are wonderful for the cost, and I will for sure be buying this shoe again when I need new ones... which may take some time, there is no visable damage to the shoe after about a month of use other than the expected dirt :) Love, love, LOVE this shoe!
I used to think my RP slippers were great until I tried these slippers. The sole and cushion padding inside the slipper helped solve my bone bruise problem and it made turning much easier. The shoe really hugs to my arch. Also, I really like the fact that in comes in width A because I have a super narrow foot. The colour also blended with all my tights perfectly too!!
This style of show has been my favorite out of the 7 different brands i"ve tried so far. The material is comfortable and the larger sole had helped me turn better. The only thing I have to complain about it is that I have gotten a hole in it after 5 months, but that might be because I dance on wood floors. Either way I will still buy the product.
I love these ballet shoes! The extra padding in the ball of the foot is amazing. It's helped my balance and my turns! The sizing was perfect and the delivery was quick! The only thing remotely bad that I have to say about it is about the heel. There's seems to be a tad too much fabric on the heel; it bunches. But other than that it's the most comfortable ballet shoe I've ever used ^.^
If you haven't tried these yet, please do. I really love these slippers. They fit like a glove. I love the Zig-Zag weave. It makes the shoe appear sturdier. I have used Sansha, Bloch, Capezio, Grishko, Russian Pointe, etc. but these are my new favorites.

Alabama Coach Mike Shula may have felt as much relief as elation with Alabama's 30-14 win over Mississippi State and Bulldogs Head Coach Sylvester Croom Saturday night at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Not only was there the subplot of Shula having been named Bama's head coach in May 2003 with Croom, a former Crimson Tide star player and assistant coach, relegated to getting his first head coaching job at Mississippi State, there was also the pressure of the Crimson Tide getting the "bowl eligible" win.
And now there is a new pressure, heading to Baton Rouge to take on LSU Saturday night. Kickoff will be at 6:45 p.m. CST with television coverage by ESPN. LSU had an open date Saturday.
Alabama is now 6-3 overall and 3-3 in Southeastern Conference games. The Bengal Tigers are 6-2 overall and 3-2 in the league.
Although Alabama's opportunities are now limited, Shula made it clear in his regular Sunday teleconference with sportswriters that the goal has not been reached. "Yes," he said "we're bowl eligible, and that helps to have that situation resolved. But if we win another game, we have a chance to play later in the bowl season. Our goal now is to play on New Year's Day, and I think we have a chance to do that if we win two more games."
Not to look ahead, but following the game at LSU, Alabama will host Auburn in the regular season finale on November 20. Auburn has already wrapped up the SEC Western Division championship and is in contention for the national title.
Most expect Bama to be in either the Music City Bowl in Nashville on December 31 or the Independence Bowl in Shreveport on December 28. The Tide is also a possibility for the Houston Bowl on December 29, the Peach Bowl in Atlanta on December 31, the Outback Bowl in Tampa on January 1, and the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on January 1.
Shula said it would not be difficult for Alabama to get beyond the Mississippi State game. "Our guys are focused on getting the seventh win," he said. "We know we're going into LSU, the defending national champions at their place. We didn't play well here last year against them." Bama was a 27-3 loser to the Tigers, starting a three-game losing streak to finish the 4-9 season in 2003.
Shula said, "We'll have to get focused in a hurry on LSU. It's a huge task. We've got to play better than we played last night and we've got to get healthy. We have to be on top of our game mentally and physically. LSU is a well-coached team with good schemes."
No one would suggest that Alabama has lucked into a bowl opportunity. Injuries have been and continue to be a part of the Crimson Tide football season. Shula said, "Our players have found a way to overcome things, whether injuries or just not playing consistently. Saturday night we found a way to overcome a little deficit in the game when we weren't playing our best. And when that happens you can gain some confidence and momentum."
Shula said it was "exciting" for the team to become bowl eligible "because of what these kids have gone through. Around here the goals are generally much higher than that, but this is a start–a sign–that we are making progress."
In addition to the well-publicized injuries during the year that have cost Bama its starting quarterback (Brodie Croyle), halfback (Ray Hudson), and fullback (Tim Castille), Alabama found itself with a number of nagging injuries Saturday. "Our guys fought through some injuries," Shula said. "Not major injuries, but ones that are hard to play through. And other guys stepped up. When Charlie Peprah had to go out after a couple of plays, Carlos Andrews came in and did the job. Clint Johnston wasn't able to play and we lost David Cavan with a back injury–not a serious one–and Trent Davidson and Greg McLain came in at tight end. Travis West took over for J.B. Closner at center."
Shula said he had not gotten a report on special teams coverage man Marcel Stamps who seemed to turn an ankle, but that he thought others with minor injuries–including offensive tackle Wesley Britt and defensive tackle Anthony Bryant–would be ready to go Saturday "based on preliminary reports."
Rare is the conversation between media and Shula that does not include a discussion of injuries. Among the questions the coach received Sunday was whether he had ever seen a team that had the bad injury luck. He said, "Maybe once or twice on some other teams where I had friends coaching they had a rash of injuries. It seems there have been a lot in both college and pro football this year. You have to reach further and further into the depth chart. Unfortunately, injuries are a part of football. You have to have the mindset you are going to keep going." Shula gave credit to both the assistant coaches and the players for their resolve.
Regarding preparation for LSU with so many injuries, Shula said, "We're at that time of the year when you want to get a lot of work done, but maybe not hit as much."
Shula admitted that some might have had doubts about the team "when we lost the first two games after we lost Brodie. But we had a great week of work prior to the Kentucky game. We made up our minds we were going to play hard, and we did, and we got a couple of wins."
One player who has earned the confidence of the coaches is placekicker Brian Bostick, who made all three of his field goal attempts and continued his perfect extra point kicking Saturday. "(Special Teams Coach) David Ungerer worked with him on a couple of things in timing and consistency," Shula said. "He's been kicking good and we have a lot of confidence in him and he came through for us."
Brandon Brooks, who has had a shaky season as punt return man, suffered a fumble against Mississippi State and was replaced by Tyrone Prothro. Shula said both would get work at the job, but noted "Tyrone is a hot player right now." Prothro had an exceptional play against Mississippi State, sneaking into the game at quarterback and going for a 21-yard touchdown run that gave Bama the lead for good at 10-7.
Shula said quarterback Spencer Pennington "probably played his best game. He had two interceptions, but he made a couple of big third down plays and had the touchdown pass to LéRon McClain. He's not quite there yet, but progress has been steady over the past month. He showed better presence in the pocket, and he did a nice job of throwing it away or throwing it where only we could get it a couple of times. But there is still room for improvement."
He said Pennington "is an emotional kid, but I don't think he loses his poise. That's part of the game and part of the passion. But even though he's a fiery guy, he doesn't lose control."
Speaking of emotion, one of the most emotional moments in Saturday's game came in the final moments when Antonio Carter was inserted into the game. The sixth year wide receiver wasn't involved in any action as Bama was running out the clock, but Shula said it was exciting to have the opportunity to play Carter.
Shula said that cornerback Ramzee Robinson, who was benched after a Mississippi State touchdown pass went over him, was not injured. The Tide coach said it was just a decision to rotate freshman Simeon Castille at the left cornerback spot.

Charleston police on Friday accused a mixed martial arts instructor of pointing a pistol at an officer's head.
Matthew Robinson, 39, of Lake Mallard Boulevard, Mount Pleasant, is charged with pointing a firearm.
According to a police incident report, Robinson owns a business at 1250 Wappoo Road. That address is listed as Charleston Krav Maga, a martial arts studio in West Ashley, according to the business' website. Robinson is listed as a certified MMA instructor.
Shortly before 3 a.m., police observed a dark sport utility vehicle as it backed into a grassy area off of Wappoo Road and Sam Rittenberg Boulevard, the report states.
That area is known for burglaries and car break-ins, according to the report. Police decided to question the SUV's driver.
Police tapped on the SUV's driver's side window, and saw a man asleep inside.
Officers tapped on the window again, which woke the man.
An officer in full uniform told the man he needed to speak with him. Instead of rolling down the window, however, the man brandished a pistol from beneath a blanket and pointed it at the officer's head, the report states.
The officer ducked to the ground and called for backup, the report states.
The man ultimately obeyed police orders to drop the weapon and raise his hands in the air.
Once in handcuffs, the man denied that he had a gun, despite the weapon being in plain sight on the vehicle's center console, the report states.
Police also saw a shotgun leaned against the front passenger's seat, according to the report.
The driver smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and slurred speech, the report said.
He was charged booked into the Charleston County jail to await a bond hearing, which was scheduled for this morning.
