St. C.'s Eaton set to make splash toward state swim crown
For many, getting to the state meet is a tremendous accomplishment.
As it pertains to Michael Eaton, however, he's well past the stage of his career where just reaching the state meet is enough.
The St. Clairsville senior has his sights set on the big prize.
As he embarks on his fourth consecutive trip to Canton's Branin Natatorium for the OHSAA State Swimming Championship, Eaton will be a busy young man, taking part in two events on Thursday evening when the qualifying swims unfold.
He earned an automatic qualifying spot in the 100 breaststroke after he claimed the district title last Friday at Ohio State. He learned on Sunday that he'd also be competing in the 100 freestyle after earning an at-large bid.
"It's an honor (to be going back), and I am definitely looking forward to the challenge," Eaton said. "I am going to enjoy this (opportunity) and do everything I can to come out (of the meet) as the (state) champion."
For the first time in his career, Eaton geared his training for the state meet. In years' past, he'd backed off his training for the district meet, hoping to give himself the best chance to reach the state meet.
"I was confident that I could make it to state even with a hard week of training, barring something bad happening in a race," Eaton confessed. "I felt pretty safe, because I've swam every breaststroke this season under a minute, that was I was going to make it."
Thus far, the strategy has worked out brilliantly.
Eaton comes into the 100 breaststroke, which features a loaded field, seeded second with his personal-best time of 56.49.
"It's a great feeling going in to know that I have a little bit more room to improve," Eaton said. "It's a tight field, so that little bit of time could be very important."
There will be a lot of familiar faces with Eaton in the breaststroke. Seven of the top 10 finishers, including five of the top six from 2013, are in the field for this week.
Actually, eight of the top 10 are competing this weekend, but one moved up to Division I this season. However, last year's sixth-place finisher in Division I dropped down and he's seeded just two hundredths of a second behind Eaton.
"The top four are separated by less than half a second, so it's crazy," Eaton said.
As you'd expect, every swimmer in the field has dropped time. For instance, Eaton's clocking would have won the state title by more than half a second.
"It's just getting faster and faster," Eaton said.
Included in the list of returnees is defending state champion Jonathan Rutter of Cincinnati Wyoming. He won the district championship at Miami of Ohio with a 56.30 clocking.
"Rutter is good, consistent, fast and a true champion, but there are four or five other boys who are nipping at his heels," Eaton said. "I wouldn't say, by any means, there's any one favorite. Everyone's in the same situation, so no one will be able to save anything on Thursday because everyone in the 'A' final is going to be well under a minute."
Eaton admits to lying in his bed at night envisioning how this race could unfold and he keeps coming back to the word, "perfect."
"If you don't have the perfect race, you could finish anywhere from first to fifth," Eaton said. "It's going to be anyone's race that will come down to who wants it the most, and I think there's a realistic shot that I can do it."
In the 100 freestyle, Eaton is seeded 14th with a 48.07. He finished fourth in the district.
"I wasn't surprised that I made (the state in freestyle) because the time I swam was faster than the time I won the district (championship) with last year," Eaton said.
"It's just a year-to-year thing of these times keep dropping. I am seeded right around where I was last year. I am going to go as hard as I can in that race and see what happens."
Eaton's prep career is unmatched by any swimmer from Belmont County.
He's won multiple OVAC titles, owns numerous pool and conference records, has captured multiple district and sectional titles and is two solid swims away from becoming the first two-time all-Ohioan in the sport from this county.
"I couldn't be happier (with how my high school career as gone)," Eaton said. "I know a lot of kids go through high school swimming and they don't drop a lot of time from their freshman season through their senior year.
"But, I've been able to get faster each season. Knowing that I've been able to improve each year has been an awesome feeling."
As exciting as Eaton's chase is for him, the entire trip to Stark County is bittersweet. He knows his time as a prep swimmer is winding down, but Eaton knows he's got a big few days ahead, so there's no time for negative emotion.
"I am sure after the breaststroke (on Friday) that it might set in and be a little bit emotional at that point," Eaton said.
"Until then, I am just enjoying it and I'm not looking back."

40,000 first-time buyers every year becoming trapped in negative equity
Around 40,000 first-time buyers a year are sleepwalking into a negative equity trap which threatens to leave many unable to move for a decade.
A Money Mail investigation has discovered that one in five of all first-home buyers are putting down 10 per cent or less as a deposit.
But with prices plunging in most regions of the country, and buyers being lured to snap up newly built homes, many of these are seeing their tiny deposits disappear. In some cases, this can happen even before they have properly moved in.
Many will quickly be left with mortgages bigger than the value of their home. This can pose desperate problems for any hoping to move home or get a cheap mortgage deal in years to come.
Griffith, of campaign group PricedOut, says: 'Schemes encouraging people
to buy houses with little equity are worrying and may well be signing
up a new generation of buyers to negative equity.'
The number of first-time buyers has fallen hugely since the banking crisis began.
Around 12,600 homes are bought by first‑time buyers every month, compared with 28,000 a month in 2007.
Banks have been criticised for failing to lend to first-time buyers. But today, there are a number of good deals for those with as little as a 10 per cent deposit. For example, a two-year fixed rate of 4.19 per cent from First Direct, with a £999 fee. Or a 4.99 per cent, two-year fixed rate from Norwich & Peterborough Building Society, for a £295 fee.
And there are even deals for those with as little as 5 per cent, though they are more expensive, with Newcastle BS charging borrowers 6.25 per cent. Potential owners are also being lured by government-backed housing schemes such as New Buy, which allows people to purchase a just-finished home with a 5 per cent deposit.
figures from Nationwide BS show average property prices have dipped
1.1 per cent in a year. But this figure disguises huge falls in some
postcode blackspots.
In the North-West, the average price dropped by 4 per cent over 12 months, 5 per cent in the East Midlands, 3 per cent in East Anglia, the South-East and South-West, 6 per cent in Scotland and a whopping 17 per cent in Northern Ireland.
Flat: House prices have barely changed over the past three years, Nationwide's house price chart shows, but that average figures masks falls in many areas.
looking at newly developed flats are more likely to be affected, as
new-builds are particularly vulnerable to price shocks.
like buying a new car, these properties come at a premium, and the
price quickly ducks lower when new owners move in — typically by 5 per
And in some places, properties are proving impossible to shift.
asking price for a three-bed house in County Durham collapsed by 58 per
cent — from £71,950 to £29,950 in the space of six months, according to
the website Propertysnake.
The same website has a two-bed flat in Manchester, which has dropped its asking price by 26 per cent, from £260,000 to £190,000 over just five months.
Recent figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders shows that 827,000 households were in negative equity last year.
on the brink of a price plummet with little equity could become trapped
— unable to move home or remortgage until they throw cash at the
problem. For example, a first-time buyer may put down a 5 per cent
deposit for a home worth £100,000. A 10 per cent tumble in prices brings
the house's value down to £90,000 — but the owner still has a mortgage
of £95,000.
Ray Boulger,
a specialist at mortgage broker Charcol, says: 'For first-timers, if
you don't want to stay for at least five years, there's a strong
argument for deferring a purchase.'
People already stuck in negative equity are often blocked from moving home or switching to a cheaper mortgage.
banks do offer help for those in negative equity. Lloyds TSB and
Nationwide BS allow some customers in negative equity to move house and
take their current mortgage with them.
anyone buying now, Mr Boulger recommends paying close attention to your
bank or building society's standard variable rate (SVR). This is what
your mortgage will move on to after your initial fixed or tracker deal
comes to an end.
Those with negative equity may find they don't qualify for a new deal, and so have to pay the SVR.
How to deal with negative equity
- Look at future rates — if you're buying now, look at the proposed lender's standard variable rate. Although subject to change, a lower rate will be easier to pay when the initial deal ends.
- Save — squirrel money away to help climb out of negative equity and build a deposit for your move.
- Overpay — most lenders let you pay an extra 10 per cent on your mortgage every year and help you build up more equity.
- Let a room — the Government's Rent-a-Room scheme allows you to take in a lodger and earn up to £4,250 a year tax-free.

And so what could turn out to be one of the most important weeks in this state's sports history begins with a national championship.
Not bad, Beavs. Not bad at all.
Oregon State was as dominating as, well, as dominating as the Blazers hope whomever they draft Thursday turns out to be. Seems there was a lot of Oden/Durant news while I was a way. Figuring you've read it all at least three times, no need to go into it here.
It'd be repetitive and, anyway, my mind is still trying to get a grip on the profit generated by charging $30 for a bucket of five Miller Lights. Ah, Vegas. There were no Pacman Jones sightings. Makes sense he's a biter, though.
Ok. That feels like an adequate first post. Can't jump back in without stretching. Congratulations to Oegon State; big week for the Blazers. That'll about do it.

In May 2014 a small group of people from the Eye area of Suffolk, UK came together to discuss the idea of a permanent memorial to the 490th Bombardment Group. There are a couple of plaques in the nearby village of Brome but it is about time something was put in place on the airfield. This website is here to keep you up to date with the project and to give you a little insight about the 490th BG.
The location of the memorial is marked on this plan, the current aerial view shows the location too.

HourlyLess than 30 hrs/week
Intermediate LevelI am looking for a mix of experience and value
I have a list of businesses that I need to gather e-mail addresses for. I will provide the data in a MS Excel file and your job will be to find and insert the e-mail address for each business by searching places like the company website, whois, and their Facebook page.
I have done this much myself and am just starting to outsource this task. I know from experience that it takes in most cases about one minute per business to find the e-mail address, if available. I will pay $.10 per business, so at an average of one per minute you are looking at ~$6/hr.
I will be hiring ~3-4 individuals to start out and giving them a test run, and will be settling down from there on 1-2 to work with on an ongoing basis.
Once the work is complete I will double check it meticulously the first time, and sporadically each time thereafter, for the purpose of ensuring the one(s) I choose to work with on an ongoing basis pay attention to detail and complete the job well.
Reply if interested, and be sure to include the word "lion" somewhere in your reply as a simple indication that you read these instructions carefully.

RC28 T-Mobile G1 update halted, RC29 on its way
We mentioned last week that a new over the air update for the T-Mobile G1 was on its way. It was called RC28 and was to address a bug with the Amazon MP3 store and offer a few enhancements. Well, since the Android browser security flaw was found, Google and T-Mobile have halted the RC28 update that was already in progress and will instead be sending out an RC29 update that fixes the browser security hole.
The new RC29 update started going out to users as of this past Monday.
You can find slightly more information on RC29 and future updates from the T-Mobile Forums.

Catching the catchers
GlobalFishingWatch is a new tool that shows every traceable commercial fishing boat in the world nearly real time. Blinking lights video with a narrator. 9 out of every 10 big fish in the ocean is caught by humans.
When a tree falls in the forest..
Global Forest Watch uses satellites to monitor forest loss in near real-time (videos+images). It is now possible to see when forests (or even a couple big trees) are being cut down at the the time it happens, allowing officials and the public to notice and possibly take action. There is also a timeline showing forest loss/gain over time - how has your neighborhood fared?
"This is the Amazon as one imagines it as a child"
"Hi, my name is Paul Rosolie. I'm a naturalist based out of southern Peru and today I'm headed into the jungle to show you a place that very few people have gotten to see. I'm in the Madre de Dios region of Peru, this is the far western Amazon and some of the deepest jungle on earth."
Blue will speak for the trees
Blue trees are to be seen in cities around the world, a colorful plea to save the trees. [more inside]
Fish protection finally
"Probably the most important conservation statute ever enacted into America's fisheries law".. as of 2012, all 528 federally managed fish species now have imposed catch limits. The US is arguably the first country in the world to do it. This means every species has a hard limit of how many fish can be taken - not just how many per-boat or angler - an absolute cap on the total number (actually by weight). The law was enacted in 2006 under a policy forged under President George W. Bush and finalized with President Obama's backing.(previously)
Island exterminators
Islands make up only about 3% of the earth's land area but host about 20% of all species and 50 to 60% of endangered species. The biggest threat to islands are invasive species, mainly rats, but also pigs and cats, who feed on nesting birds and native plants. New Zealand has been the innovator in clearing islands of rats because of its endangered populations of flightless birds which are vulnerable. One species of flightless parrot, known as the kakapo, has only 131 individuals left in the "wild" - they are closely guarded 24x7 on Codfish Island, their nests surrounded by rat traps and cameras vigilantly on the lookout for invaders.

The American Great Plains rival the Serengeti
The American Great Plains rival the Serengeti, according to National Geographic, but unlike in apparently more progressive Africa, the USA never protected the plains on a large scale. Now private interests under the The American Prairie Foundation are buying up land in Montana hoping to create a multi-million acre preserve that would be the largest privately funded conservation land venture on the planet, bigger than Yellowstone National Park, that one day may see the return of great migrating herds of bison, pronghorn antelope, deer and elk. Not all Montana ranchers are happy with the new Serengeti neighbor.
Wilderness protection bill passed
The US Senate Sunday in an unusual session passed 66-12 the largest land protection bill in 25 years. It is an "omnibus" containing hundreds of bills that have been in the works for years. For a list of all the projects and new lands protected.. [more inside]

Thanks to the use of artificial snow, it is possible for those experiencing a snow-less middle-European winter to just not give a damn! Whether fresh new snow is needed for a film set or a flat needs to be given the look of a winter landscape for an après-ski party: artificial snow falls and remains where you want it and won't melt away even at summer temperatures.
A good imitation snow is not only distinguished by its realistic look but also through its antistatic finish which makes working with it and disposing of it that much easier. Being flame resistant as per B1 (German industry norm) is also important because that allows its use in public buildings.
Our artificial snow in powder form is of professional quality and can be found being used large-scale in film and television productions.
The decoration snow fleece can serve as a good accessory for use with powder snow and have the advantage that they can be used vertically and, when the next snow landscape needs to be created, it can be used again. In order to use less snow flake material or to cover up a dark surface in preparation, we recommend that, before letting the snow flakes fall, you cover the area with something like DECORATION SNOW FLEECE, thick POLYESTER BULK FLEECE, POYSTYRENE FOAM, white plastic film (SOFT PVC VARNISHED FILM) or MOLLETON – or you can just paint the area white if that works.

When you paint your home, picking the right color is a primary decision — but smart and safe painting also involves other considerations. Here's how to handle several home-painting questions, whether they're related to climate, colors or contractors:
Exterior Painting: Weather Matters
- When it comes to durability in various climate conditions, all paints are not created equal. The old maxim "you get what you pay for" is just as true with paint, and when you consider a new paint job should protect your home for many years, it makes sense to do some research to find a quality brand, even if just to make sure your contractors are using quality paint. Also, some types of paint are formulated for different climates. This is worth investigating, particularly if you live in an area where the weather is tough on your home, like the shore or in especially hot or cold climates.
- When you plan to paint, consider what's going on outside. If you live in a high-humidity area, choose your timing carefully. "Moisture in the air keeps water-based paint from drying," notes the DIY Network. "Skip the humid-afternoon paint project so slow-drying walls won't wreck the rest of your day."
- Consider whether you can do the job safely. The do-it-yourself (DIY) route is cheaper and potentially more satisfying, but requires ladders, physical skills and knowledge of potential danger when painting high areas. If you have any hesitation, hire an insured professional to do the job. And check their status with the Better Business Bureau.
- How do you pick a contractor? "Ask around and get references, get estimates and interview the potential contractors," says Richard Greene, CEO of the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America. Greene recommends asking the following:
- Does the painting company have proof of insurance?
- Are they bonded and licensed, if local laws require it?
- How long have they been in business?
- Do they subcontract their work?
- Do they offer a written guarantee?
- What are their safety protocols?
- If you opt to forgo professional help, the Paint Quality Institute reminds you to be smart about safety. Keep the room well ventilated with open windows and fans to prevent fumes from building up, and use eye protection such as goggles.
- Be mindful of your materials, and know exactly what you're putting on your walls. Even water-based paints can emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are chemicals that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Ask your contractor or paint supplier for information on which paints are best for the planet, as well as your home.

It is a recollection of Paulo's experiences as he made his way across northern Spain on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. The novel serves as part adventure story, part guide to self-discovery.
Plot summary[edit]
The story begins in 1986 when Coelho undertakes his initiation into the order Regnus Agnus Mundi (RAM), which he subsequently fails. He is then told that he must embark on a pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago to find the sword that is the symbol of his acceptance into the ranks of RAM. He must do this to gain insight into the simplicity of life. The journey transforms him as he learns to understand the nature of truth through the simplicity of life.
He begins his journey with a guide, also a member of RAM, who goes by the alias Petrus. During the journey Petrus shows him meditation exercises and introduces him to some of the more down-to-earth elements of Western mystical thought and philosophy, and teaches him about love and its forms: agape, philia and eros.
The Pilgrimage has sold its rights to 38 languages: Albanian, Arabic, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malayalam, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovakian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.
Mysticism as a Theme[edit]
There are described eleven RAM exercises/rituals in the book that the narrator of the book is taught in order to help him on his spiritual journey, they are presented in such order:
- The Seed Exercise
- The Speed Exercise
- The Cruelty Exercise
- The Messenger Ritual
- The Arousal of Intuition (The Water Exercise)
- The Blue Sphere Exercise
- The Buried Alive Exercise
- The RAM Breathing Exercise
- The Shadows Exercise
- The Listening Exercise
- The Dance Exercise
Paulo Coelho mentions that all these exercises can be carried out except "The Messenger Ritual", which should not be carried out under any circumstances as its description is incomplete and it will not bring positive results.[1]

Chris Hedges vs. Eddie Glaude: Should Progressives Vote for Hillary Clinton or Jill Stein?

When the US Supreme Court stopped the official recount of presidential ballots in Florida, Justice Antonin Scalia warned that a count "could cause irreparable harm" by casting doubt on the legitimacy of Bush's election. But the Supreme cannot stop the private citizens, historians and news organizations who are already planning their own tally. Florida has one of the country's best open meeting and record laws. These sunshine statutes, guaranteed by the state constitution, give the public access to almost all government activities and records including ballots.
Eight newspapers say they want to form a coalition, possibly with Associated Press with the aid of the Florida Newspaper Editors.

[DRUGGED-OUT METAL] "The last time I was in [Willamette Week ] was because I got beat up by the police," Neutria frontman Sunny D tells me, grinning beneath dark-rimmed glasses and a trucker cap (see "Return of the Naked Pole Katz," WW , May 9, 2001). We're both at work and on the clock at a local arts college, but that's OK because our boss is Neutria's bass player. It's a scenario that could only happen in Portland: You land a day job, and your boss hands you a flier for a band—his band—that's named after a greasy rat you're supposed to shoot on sight in 38 states.
Neutria's particular brand of music—muscular, jazzy metal with odd time signatures and double bass drums—embodies a similarly unique and disturbing aesthetic. And it serves as the cacophonous backdrop for Sunny D's spazzed-out delivery of lyrics like, "I've been thinking about Dick Cheney/ A pedophile/ He'll fuck your child/ And he'll eat your baby." "That one always goes over pretty well," he says with a wry smile.
Started by guitarist MC and bassist Robert Firman (who writes and arranges most of the songs), Neutria truly came to fruition when D tried out for the band. "Fronting a band was my dream come true," explains 40-year-old D. "I grew up on the Butthole Surfers, Laughing Hyenas, Jesus Lizard—the triad of the greatest frontmen ever. Someone handed me a Beefheart record when I was 10 and that was it, man." Drummer Dave War (of MC's former band Black Brown) joined after the first drummer quit. Now, after 18 months of making weird music together, the members have become a tightknit group of friends.
A wise man once told me that live music should be either danceable or scary, and you can't dance to Neutria. "All the women and 80 percent of the men will be gone by the time we get through the first song," D says cheerfully. "So we're an actual rock band." From the driver's seat of a van, D continues: "People line the walls because they're uncomfortable and won't leave until I'm not looking because they're engaged enough to worry about my reaction. People clear out, and I say that's a good sign."

| Decision No. CR630
Department of Health and Human Services
Civil Remedies Division
Specialty Hospital of Southern California - La Mirada,
|Date: November 19, 1999
- v -
|The Health Care Financing Administration.
| Docket No. C-99-292
The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) moved to dismiss the request for hearing filed by Petitioner, Specialty Hospital of Southern California - La Mirada. HCFA based its motion on two grounds: (1) that I lacked the authority to hear and decide this case and (2) that Petitioner had not filed a timely hearing request. I decide that I do not have the authority to hear and decide this case and, for that reason, I dismiss Petitioner's hearing request. I do not decide the issue of whether Petitioner is without a right to a hearing due to not having filed its hearing request timely. I find HCFA's motion to be moot as to that issue.
While HCFA's motion was under consideration, Petitioner moved for summary disposition on the merits of the case. I am denying Petitioner's motion because I do not have the authority to hear and decide it.
Background and material facts
The facts that I recite here either are not disputed or are stated in a manner which is favorable to Petitioner. I base my recitation of the facts of this case largely on the statement of facts that is offered by Petitioner at pages 4 - 6 of Petitioner's memorandum in opposition to HCFA's motion to dismiss.
Petitioner owns and operates long-term acute care hospitals in California. Its primary facility is located in La Mirada, California (La Mirada facility). The La Mirada facility is certified by HCFA to participate in the Medicare program as a long-term acute care hospital.
On June 13, 1997, Petitioner acquired Covina Valley Community Hospital (Covina facility). At the time of the purchase, the Covina facility was an acute care hospital that participated in Medicare under a separate provider number from that which had been assigned to the La Mirada facility. Petitioner's purpose in acquiring the Covina facility was to turn it into a long-term acute care hospital and to combine its operations with those of the La Mirada facility. Petitioner's objectives included having HCFA classify the Covina facility as part of the La Mirada facility so that Petitioner could claim reimbursement for the items or services that were provided by both the La Mirada facility and the Covina facility under the provider number that had been assigned to the La Mirada facility.
There is a potential pecuniary benefit to Petitioner having the Covina facility consolidated into the La Mirada facility for Medicare reimbursement purposes. As a long-term acute care hospital, the La Mirada facility is exempt from Medicare reimbursement requirements known as the Prospective Payment System (PPS). However, at the time of its acquisition, the Covina facility was being reimbursed pursuant to PPS. Hospitals that are subject to PPS are reimbursed under Medicare in accord with prospectively determined rates whereas hospitals that are not subject to PPS are reimbursed under a different reimbursement scheme which, potentially, is more remunerative than is PPS. Consolidation of the Covina facility with the La Mirada facility would enable Petitioner to claim reimbursement for items or services that are provided at the Covina facility under the reimbursement system that governed the La Mirada facility. That would, effectively, remove the Covina facility from PPS.
Petitioner requested California State licensing authorities to revise the Covina facility's license to reflect its change of ownership and consolidation with the La Mirada facility. On October 7, 1997, California State licensing authorities approved the change of ownership and consolidation of the La Mirada and Covina facilities.
Petitioner thereupon applied to HCFA to have the Covina facility consolidated with the La Mirada facility for Medicare reimbursement purposes. On February 12, 1998, HCFA notified Petitioner that it was denying Petitioner's request for consolidation of the facilities. Petitioner continued after that date to discuss with HCFA its assertion that the two facilities should be consolidated for Medicare reimbursement purposes. Petitioner's discussions with HCFA included submissions to HCFA of various documents which were offered for the purpose of showing that, under governing standards and criteria, HCFA should consider the La Mirada facility and the Covina facility to be consolidated.
On November 20, 1998, evidently after reviewing Petitioner's submissions, HCFA approved Petitioner's request to have the La Mirada and Covina facilities consolidated for Medicare reimbursement purposes. HCFA advised Petitioner that, effective August 27, 1998, the Covina facility would be considered to be a campus of the La Mirada facility. HCFA told Petitioner that, beginning August 27, 1998, all Medicare reimbursement billings from the Covina facility should be made under the La Mirada facility's provider number.
Petitioner was dissatisfied with HCFA's action in that it disagreed with the effective date that HCFA had designated for consolidation of the two facilities for Medicare reimbursement purposes. The case was assigned to me. I afforded the parties the opportunity to file motions. Subsequently, HCFA filed a motion to dismiss the case and Petitioner filed a motion for summary disposition.
Issues findings of fact and conclusions of law
The issue in this case is whether I have the authority to hear and decide Petitioner's challenge to the date that HCFA found the La Mirada facility to be consolidated with the Covina facility for Medicare reimbursement purposes.
Findings of fact and conclusions of law
I make findings of fact and conclusions of law (Findings) to support my decision in this case. I set forth each Finding below as a separately numbered heading. I discuss each Finding in detail.
1. I do not have the authority to hear and decide this case.
Under both the Social Security Act (Act) and implementing regulations, an individual or entity is entitled to a hearing concerning specified actions by HCFA which are defined to be "determinations." If an action by HCFA is not a determination about which a right to a hearing is conferred by the Act or regulations then no right to a hearing exists.
The relevant language in the Act governing an individual's or entity's right to a hearing with respect to an action taken by HCFA is contained in section 1866(h)(1). That section provides, in relevant part, that:
[a]n institution
or agency dissatisfied with a determination by the Secretary
Implementing regulations state, at 42 C.F.R. § 498.3(b), that HCFA makes initial determinations with respect to certain matters. These matters are defined to include:
[w]hether a prospective provider qualifies as a provider.
42 C.F.R. § 498.3(b)(1).
The question here is whether HCFA's refusal to consolidate the La Mirada and Covina facilities for reimbursement purposes prior to August 27, 1998 is a determination that either facility was not a provider of services or a determination that either facility did not qualify as a provider. I conclude that, in establishing a consolidation date, HCFA never addressed the question of whether either facility qualified as a provider. Therefore, no determination was made by HCFA, either under the Act or under the implementing regulation, about which Petitioner has a right to a hearing.
This is not a case where an entity sought to be certified as a provider and now seeks a hearing based on HCFA's determination that the entity only qualified as a provider at some date other than the date that the entity contended it met certification requirements. HCFA's finding that the two facilities should be consolidated for reimbursement purposes has nothing to do with certifying either facility for participation. As HCFA notes, both the La Mirada facility and the Covina facility were certified as providers by HCFA prior to August 27, 1998. HCFA's finding that the two facilities were consolidated effective August 27, 1998 relates to the manner in which the two facilities should be classified for reimbursement purposes. HCFA's action on Petitioner's consolidation request is thus a reimbursement classification and not a certification of provider status.
This distinction may appear to be technical – and indeed, it is technical – but, nonetheless, it is a valid distinction for purposes of deciding whether Petitioner has a right to a hearing. With exceptions that are not relevant here, hearing rights attach only to a determination whether an entity qualifies as a provider. Generally, hearing rights do not attach to HCFA's classification of the type of reimbursement mechanism which governs an entity.
Under the regulations, certification is a process by which a facility establishes that it meets the criteria which govern Medicare participation. The certification process requires a survey of the facility by HCFA or on HCFA's behalf in order to determine whether participation requirements are met. 42 C.F.R. § 489.13. The certification process is designed to establish whether the facility meets the quality of care requirements that are contained in provider regulations that govern that type of facility.
The regulation which confers hearing rights provides for some exceptions to this general distinction between classification for reimbursement purposes and certification. For example, pursuant to 42 C.F.R. § 498.3(b)(9), HCFA's determination for reimbursement purposes of whether an end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treatment facility is considered to be hospital-based or independent is a determination which may give an ESRD hearing rights. Such a determination plainly is a classification determination. However, the fact that the Secretary has made an exception to allow for hearings involving such classification determinations underscores the fact that she has not made similar exceptions in the cases of other types of classification actions by HCFA.
Here, no certification process transpired. No certification survey was conducted. The issue that HCFA faced was not whether the Covina facility met certification requirements. Rather, the issue was whether the La Mirada facility and the Covina facility were operated in a way so as to meet reimbursement requirements which governed the operation of combined facilities. That issue had nothing to do with whether either facility independently, or both facilities in a combined capacity, met certification requirements.
HCFA cites a recent decision by the Departmental Appeals Board, Metropolitan Methodist Hospital, DAB No. 1694 (1999) as controlling precedent. I have reviewed that decision and I agree with HCFA that it governs this case. In the Metropolitan Methodist case, a hospital requested that HCFA exclude the hospital's 10-bed rehabilitation unit from PPS effective on a certain date. HCFA declined to do so because the hospital had not made its application timely. The hospital requested a hearing from HCFA's action. The administrative law judge to whom the case was assigned decided that what was at issue was a question of reimbursement classification and not an issue of provider certification. For that reason, the administrative law judge held that he was without authority to hear and decide the case. The Departmental Appeals Board agreed. As is the case here, there was no issue of provider certification in the Metropolitan Methodist case. The hospital was certified for participation prior to making its application for reclassification of its rehabilitation unit. The case did not involve the issue of whether either the hospital or the rehabilitation unit met provider participation requirements. The Departmental Appeals Board held that:
DAB No. 1694 at 5 - 6.
Those precise considerations apply to this case. As I discuss above, Petitioner is not seeking to prove that either of the two facilities met conditions of participation. Rather, it is seeking to prove that Medicare should have paid for services in a certain way at dates other than HCFA found to be appropriate. What Petitioner seeks to establish is not something in which I have authority to hear and decide.
My consideration of the issues in this case is complicated somewhat by the fact that HCFA has not been consistent in advocating a position as to the hearing rights of parties in contesting reimbursement actions such as the one at issue here. Recently, I issued a decision in another case, Johns Hopkins Health Systems, DAB CR598 (1999). In that case I decided the question of whether an outpatient facility of a hospital should be considered to be combined with the hospital for reimbursement purposes. On reflection, it now appears that I may not have had the authority to hear and decide that case. The Johns Hopkins case involved a classification issue and not an issue of certification of a provider to participate in Medicare.
At the inception of the Johns Hopkins case I was concerned about whether I had the authority to hear and decide it. I directed the parties to brief the issue of my authority. Both parties asserted that I had the authority to hear and decide the case. I agreed to hear and decide it only because the petitioner and HCFA urged me to do so. On reflection, it may be that I should have found that I lacked the authority to hear and decide the case despite the fact that HCFA asserted that I had such authority.
2. The issue of whether Petitioner filed its hearing request timely is moot.
HCFA contends, as an alternate ground for dismissing Petitioner's hearing request, that Petitioner has no right to a hearing because it did not file its request timely. Petitioner disputes HCFA's contention.
This issue is moot. There is no need for me to decide it inasmuch as I do not have the authority to hear and decide this case.

Today, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on ObamaCare related to the Anti-Injunction Act (AIA). Essentially the question before the Court today was whether it could even decide the case now or would be forced to wait until all the provisions of the law went into effect.
Based on today's oral arguments the court appeared to wrestle with three possible conclusions: 1) the Anti-injunction Act did not apply because ObamaCare is not a tax, and thus it could hear the case; 2) the AIA applies, but it is not jurisdictional – in-other-words, as Justice Alito suggested, "it can be waived," which would allow the Court to hear the case; or 3) the AIA applies and is jurisdictional, preventing the Court from determining the case at the present time.
Justice Breyer immediately got to the heart of the matter:
Now, here, Congress has nowhere used the word "tax." What it says is penalty. Moreover, this is not in the Internal Revenue Code "but for purposes of collection."
And so why is this a tax? And I know you point to certain sentences that talk about taxes within the code . . . and this is not attached to a tax. It is attached to a health care requirement.
Justice Ginsburg joined in with Justice Breyer and Justice Scalia, who also voiced skepticism that the AIA is at all applicable in this case. Justice Ginsburg stated:
[T]he Tax Injunction Act is modeled on the Anti-Injunction Act, and, under the Tax Injunction Act, what can't be enjoined is an assessment for the purpose of raising revenue. The Tax Injunction Act does not apply to penalties that are designed to induce compliance with the law rather than to raise revenue. And this is not a revenue-raising measure, because, if it's successful, they won't -- nobody will pay the penalty and there will be no revenue to raise.
Justice Kagan suggested that ObamaCare contains a penalty, not a tax, and that Congress intended to impose "a regulatory command and a penalty attached to that command."
While as Jay Sekulow, ACLJ Chief Counsel, noted, you can never predict the Court's outcome in a case, it appears that the AIA will not be a bar to the Court's consideration of the merits of the case.
Though, the Justices did not give any indication of their opinion of the merits of the case, there were a few interesting moments in an otherwise dry – even by Supreme Court standards – hearing.
Justice Alito pointed out to the federal government that "today you are arguing that the penalty is not a tax. Tomorrow you are going to be back and you will be arguing that the penalty is a tax."
Justice Kagan also pointed out the paradox of the government's argument, asking:
[S]uppose a person does not purchase insurance, a person who is obligated to do so under the statute doesn't do it, pays the penalty instead, and that person finds herself in a position where she is asked the question, have you ever violated any federal law, would that person have violated a federal law?
This was followed by an interesting exchange where the federal government said that the proper answer to that question is "no," proceeding to refer to the penalty as a "tax." When pressed by Justice Breyer on why he just called it a tax, the Solicitor General called it a "tax penalty," and Justice Breyer again corrected him, "The penalty." While the exchange caused an eruption of laughter in the courtroom, it again underscores a problem that the federal government has had since the very beginning – an inability to consistently label provisions of ObamaCare. It is this inconsistency that may pose a problem for the federal government and ObamaCare.
Tomorrow, the Court will hear oral arguments on the linchpin of ObamaCare – the individual mandate.

Watch Jay Sekulow's analysis of today's oral arguments on Fox News here. We will continue to keep you informed as the as each day's oral arguments progress.
One of Justice Scalia's most memorable moments came in a compelling dissent to one of the recent ObamaCare cases. He cut through the majority opinion's ambiguous, contorted, and complex legal justification for upholding the "SCOTUScare" exchanges in just two words: " Pure applesauce. " Pondering...
Thanks to two decisions of a federal court of appeals handed down today ( here and here ), it is now almost certain that the U.S. Supreme Court will decide next term whether the Obama administration can force religious entities, institutions, and groups -- under pain of severe financial penalties...
Just over one year ago, the Supreme Court held in the Hobby Lobby decision that the HHS Mandate, a federal regulation requiring non-exempt employers to provide abortion-inducing drugs and services to its employees, violated the religious rights of closely held corporations and their owners.

For the past three years, Erik Walden has been a fixture on defense for Middle Tennessee.He has played in 39 games as a Blue Raider and currently holds the school record for sacks in a season (11.5) and career sacks (20.5).
Now, the senior defensive lineman is looking forward to his final five regular season games and his pending graduation in December.
Graduating with a degree in physical education, Walden has plans that go beyond finishing out his senior season.
"I'd love to have a chance to play in the NFL," says Walden. "But if that doesn't happen, I'll graduate in December, and then go to grad school and hopefully go back home and coach at my high school."
Originally from Dublin, Georgia, Walden helped lead Dublin High School to the state title game in 2002. He also holds the school's single-season sacks record, piling up 19 during his senior year.
In his final year of playing college football, Walden feels that his adventure is almost complete.
"I sat out the first year I was here," he says. "My freshman year I was just trying to get my foot out there. I slumped the next year and then last year I just tried to put it all together and it worked."
Head coach Rick Stockstill agrees that whatever it is Walden has done, it has definitely worked.
"The big thing he's improved on is how hard he practices," Stockstill says. "He's one of our leaders on defense."
He was named to the 2006 first team all-Sun Belt squad and came into 2007 on the preseason all-conference team, due to his stellar performance last year. But all that recognition doesn't faze him.
"I don't really get into all that," Walden says of his achievement awards. "Individual accolades are good and all, but I'm just trying to stay humble and work hard."
It's not all hard work for Walden, who likes to spend his spare time relaxing with friends. Even when he's not practicing, football is still a staple in his life, particularly Madden Live. Other than that, he claims to sleep a lot. A whole lot.
When asked to sum up his time at Middle Tennessee, Walden says that his college career has been one long journey.
"The biggest thing to me is how much I've grown up and matured," he says. "For me, it's all about staying positive. Even when we're not doing as good as we'd like to be."
Walden's impact is widespread among the football team. Even his head coach is impressed by his attitude.
"He has a wonderful personality, and a great smile," says Stockstill. "He's one of those guys where his play and his personality go hand in hand. I've noticed over the years that the better person a guy is, the better that correlates into him being a better player."
Coach Stockstill seems to think that Walden should have no problem succeeding in life, regardless of which direction he takes after graduation.
"He's a pleasure to coach," continues Stockstill. "He's just so dedicated and focuses on being the best at what he does, no matter what it is. He has a wonderful future ahead of him on whatever avenue he takes from here."
So with just a handful of games left as a Blue Raider, Erik Walden is not only finishing out a season—he's finishing a journey. At the same time, he hopes to start a new journey. Whether it be in the NFL or Georgia's AA High-School ranks, Walden hopes to take the lessons he has learned with him wherever he ends up.
