Thailand on $20 a Day
Traveling in Thailand today is a far cry from the days when you could get a picture-perfect bungalow on a white-sand beach for less than two dollars a night. Accommodation, transport, food and drink have all risen in price, and many visitors find their baht doesn't go as far as they had hoped. All the same, there are still plenty of places where it is possible to survive – and even pretty comfortably – in Thailand on $20 per day, or even less. By sidestepping the most overrun tourist hotspots, it can be easy to get more bang for your buck, and still have a great (even better) break in paradise.

Top Places in Vietnam That Are Not Hanoi or Saigon
Sure, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) are spectacular, but there's much more to Vietnam than just those two destinations. Vietnam is filled to the brim with exotic sandy beaches, untapped cultural landmarks and all the rural culture you can handle, from the absolutely stunning beaches and growing nightlife of Nha Trang, to the historical old town of beautiful Hoi An. For those with the adventurer's sense of traveling, there are more than enough reasons to extend your stay in Vietnam. Here are our top places in Vietnam that are not in Hanoi or Saigon.

Top Things to Do in Hong Kong
Hong Kong reminds me of urban landscapes from cyberpunk novels. It's all grime and glitz with narrow, twisting alleyways the color of sepia, mile-high concrete block buildings, and mirrored office towers, all bursting from a motley skyline of a billion neon signs. It's eclectic, fast paced, stylish and modern –- but even so, there are plenty of places to find peace, quiet, and zen in a city park, temple, or monastery.

Summaries of Recent Human Rights Cases
For additional examples see the Commission's Annual Reports
2011 Summaries:
Costly Threats
An administrative manager alleged that her employer discriminated against her on the basis of her race, Alaska Native. She alleged that the president of a subsidiary company showed her a knife, asked if she was afraid and told her she should be. The president yelled and cursed at her when she told him that she could not order him a new computer outside of the normal procedures. She complained to her employer, but no corrective action was taken. The mediation program facilitated a settlement between the parties in which the employer agreed to pay the manager $40,000, assist her in applying for jobs with the employer's companies that fit her skills, and bar the president of the subsidiary from interacting with her in the future. The employer also provided anti-discrimination training to all of its managers, supervisors and employees.
Cooking Up a Settlement
A camp cook in a seasonal position alleged his employer discriminated against him on the basis of his age, sixty-seven, when it terminated him. He claimed his employer told him he was terminated because of his age and health. The mediation program facilitated a settlement between the parties in which the employer agreed to pay the cook $8,944 in back pay and made him eligible for rehire in any cooking position for which he was qualified.
The Language of Mediation
A fueler alleged that his employer discriminated against him on the basis of his race, Asian, and national origin, Filipino. He alleged that his trainer made disparaging remarks regarding the employee's computer skills, his English language skills, and yelled and insulted him, yet did not treat the employees not of his race or national origin in the same belittling manner. He said conditions became so intolerable that he was forced to take leave. The parties agreed to mediation and reached a settlement. The employer agreed to pay the fueler $2,000 and credit him with 96 hours sick leave and 80 hours vacation leave. He had already returned to work just prior to the mediation.
Driving a Truck Through Discrimination
A truck driver complained that after she was diagnosed with a neurological disorder, her employer disqualified her from driving and terminated her. She alleged that her employer discriminated against her because it perceived her to have a disability that made her unqualified to drive. Staff found substantial evidence to support her complaint of discrimination. In conciliation, the employer agreed to provide anti-discrimination training for its employees, disseminate a statement of a corporate nondiscrimination policy to all employees, expunge the driver's personnel file, and pay her $12,716 in back pay.
Settlement Over Stereotypes
A bank employee alleged that her employer discriminated against her because of her race, Caucasian, and retaliated against her. She said her manager would say, "White Power," and give her a Nazi salute to mock her Caucasian-German heritage. She was denied leave when she needed medical attention but non-Caucasian workers received medical leave. After she complained about discrimination, her employer said Asians are quiet but "you people" are loud and obnoxious. She was written up for insubordination when she asked for the name of her manager's supervisor and was told she could resign with severance pay or endure a long investigation just to return to the same work environment. She felt she had no choice but to resign. In mediation the employer agreed to pay her $1,500.
Coming or Going
A clerk alleged that her employer discriminated against her on the basis of her age and sex. When she left for maternity leave a month early because of complications, her employer hired a younger male employee to replace her. She had told her employer she would return after her approved maternity leave. Her employer denied that she said she intended to return to work. The mediation program facilitated a settlement in which the employer paid the clerk $12,197, rehired her, and removed all negative statements from her personnel file.
Two Can Be Better Than One
A cashier alleged that his employer discriminated against him on the basis of his race, Black, by treating him differently and then terminating him. He said his employer normally staffed graveyard shifts with two employees, but he had to work the shift alone and was required to do as much work as two. The parties mediated the matter and reached a settlement in which the employer paid him $1,500.
Your Kind Can't Work Here
A factory worker filed a complaint alleging that her employer discriminated against her because of her sex and religion, Mormon, and terminated her for opposing discrimination. The complainant alleged that her coworker continually subjected her to unwelcome, offensive remarks of a sexual nature, and that though she complained, her employer did not take corrective action. She alleged that an owner stated they wanted to fire all the Mormon employees and not hire any more. The employer fired her within hours after she told the owners that she intended to cooperate in an investigation of discrimination at the Commission. Staff found substantial evidence to support her claims. The employer conciliated the case by providing anti-discrimination training to its managers and supervisors, and developing, disseminating, and posting an anti-discrimination policy.
2010 Summaries:
Don't Gamble with Harassment
A caller at a bingo parlor alleged that her manager subjected her to offensive sexual comments, ridicule, and different terms and conditions of employment because of her sex. She also alleged that her manager reduced her hours and assigned her to a less desirable shift after she complained about the manager's actions, and that her working conditions became so intolerable that she was forced to resign. The Commission investigated the case and found that the caller's allegations were supported by substantial evidence. The parties entered into a conciliation agreement in which the bingo parlor agreed to pay the caller $5,780 in back pay and to train its managers, supervisors, and employees on the laws prohibiting discrimination in employment.
Not Going to Take it Anymore
A forty-eight-year-old woman who worked as a project administrator for a technical services company alleged that she was discriminated against because of her age after her manager told her she was not up to the challenge of her position and referred to her as a "den mother." When the manager demoted her and told her she was being replaced by a younger, less experienced employee, she felt she had no choice but to resign her position. The mediation program facilitated a settlement between the parties in which the employer agreed to pay the administrator $7,500.
Dollars for Dirty Jobs
A Micronesian laborer who worked for a construction company alleged that he was treated differently than other employees and harassed by his coworkers because of his race and national origin. He alleged that his coworkers made offensive comments about his race and national origin and forced him to do dirty jobs while they watched or ran personal errands, and that his working conditions became so intolerable that he was forced to resign. The parties mediated the case and reached a settlement in which the employer agreed to pay the laborer $30,000 and give him a positive reference.
So Not My Job
An apprentice serviceman complained that he was treated differently by his employer because of his race, Black. He alleged that he was the only apprentice that was assigned menial tasks such as sweeping floors, getting lunch for his supervisor, and making coffee, and that his supervisor made offensive racial comments in his presence. He also alleged that he was not provided training or allowed to work extra hours while other apprentices received both. He said that he resigned his position after three months because his working conditions were intolerable. The parties mediated the complaint and reached a settlement in which the employer agreed to pay the apprentice $1,500 and provide training to its supervisor regarding prohibitions on race discrimination.
Fair Play for All
A father filed a complaint on behalf of his 11-year-old Alaska Native son with physical and mental disabilities, alleging that an educational institution failed to properly investigate incidents involving his son and failed to prevent or punish offensive name-calling and physical mistreatment of his son based on his race and physical and mental disabilities. During investigation, the parties agreed to settle the case. The institution agreed to train its staff in a program designed to teach social skills to all children, provide staff with annual training to prevent harassment and discrimination, and to review and increase playground supervision.
Too Small
A 60-year-old Alaska Native woman filed a discrimination complaint based on race, sex, and age. She alleged that new management of the seafood processing plant relieved her of her duties. They told her that she was "too small a woman to be packing" though she had worked ten years at the plant. Shortly after this demotion, the employer fired her. She was only two years from retirement. The employer denied the allegations, but offered to settle the case. After extensive negotiations by Commission staff, the employer and employee agreed to a predetermination settlement awarding the employee $30,000 in back pay and retirement benefits. The employer also agreed to remove any references to the demotion, firing, and discrimination complaint from her personnel file.
The Road Best Not Traveled
An applicant for a position as a travel agent filed a complaint alleging that the agency refused to hire her because of congenital deformities of both her arms. The agency denied the allegation stating that it did not hire her because she lacked the requisite knowledge and experience, and because she did not dress "professionally." Staff investigated the complaint and determined that substantial evidence supported the applicant's allegation of disability discrimination. The agency agreed to sign a Conciliation Agreement and paid the applicant $22,000, trained its management in the laws prohibiting discrimination against persons with disabilities, and developed and disseminated to all employees a policy against discrimination.

Verse Of The Day
Pastor's Pen
Hebrews 3:13 The bible tells us to exhort each other daily! Which means we should be encouraging the people we come in contact with every day. To continue in the faith, to have faith in God, and to not give up.
Often we can't handle the pressures of today, we escape into remembering the good old days, or dream of tomorrow when things will be better. However, until we learn to live in the now, we miss what God has for us. The Christian life is lived one day at a time Listen, "Exhort one another daily."
Someone you know is going through a rough time, and you may have just what they need. Beware of isolation, God wants to use others to bless you, to strengthen you, and be a support system in your life & for you to do the same for someone else.
Acts 2:46, and they continued daily...breaking bread from house to house. So encourage one another daily and be that person to somebody, and let others be that support to you. With these things working in your life on a daily basis, you will have joy and fulfillment that only God can give!

The Economic Community of West African States or ECOWAS is a regional organisation founded in 1975 with the Treaty of Lagos. It comprises the following West-African countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Côte d'Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo. Although its main area of action is regional economic integration, ECOWAS also undertakes Peacekeeping operations which are of vital importance to ensure Peace and Stability in the region.
The EU therefore has a continuous and long-standing political dialogue with ECOWAS. Regular Ministerial meetings, Senior Officials Meetings and interactions at other levels ensure a constant dialogue and a constructive exchange of views. The main EU-ECOWAS shared political priorities include Peace and Security, the fight against drugs and drug trafficking, migration issues and improved governance.
Under the European Development Fund (EDF), the EU-ECOWAS partnership is underpinned by a Regional Strategy, in the framework of Regional Indicative Programme (RIP), amounting to € 597 M for the 2008-2013 period. The RIP, along with the National Indicative Programs (NIP), provides the instruments necessary to promote further regional integration, as well as Peace and Security in West Africa.

Miller, Fuda take two seats on Bay board
Incumbents hold off challengers in other North Shore contests
Whitefish Bay - Incumbent Jay Miller and newcomer Carl Fuda defeated newcomers Kevin McMahon and Ken Wysocky by a wide margin Tuesday night, claiming two seats on the Village Board.
Of the 10,306 registered voters in Whitefish Bay, 34 percent came out for the contest.
Board members serve three year terms and are paid $1,200 annually.
The vote total, according to unofficial results Tuesday:
Carl J. Fuda 1,946
Jay Miller (i) 1,811
Kevin McMahon 718
Ken Wysocky 596
Election results remain unofficial until they are certified by the board of canvassers.
Miller and Fuda agreed their resounding victories were the result of their comparatively high profiles within the village.
"I'm an incumbent, and Carl's done a lot in the village in a public way," Miller said Tuesday evening. "I think we both probably had higher name recognition and involvement with the village."
Fuda said his candor had a lot to do with his top spot in the polls.
"If anybody asked me if I had a strong point of view, I shared it with them," Fuda said Tuesday night. "I tried to keep an open mind, and if they had a different point of view, I listened. That's the beauty of politics at a local level. We're all friends. We can have a collegial conversation."
Now that he's defended his seat, Miller said his first priority will be to address the pressing issue of the village's sewer and stormwater overhaul.
"We have a plan for the sewers, but there's a lot that needs to be worked out," Miller said. "I'm hoping that we get a lot done on that front in the next three years."
Fuda's game plan is simple.
"Do my best, and what I've done in all my other endeavors in Bay," he said. "To keep an open mind, tell people what I'm thinking, and keep an open door."
In other contested North Shore elections:
Incumbents Michael Barth and Eido Walny were re-elected Tuesday, defeating former Nicolet School Board member Kelly Herda and newcomer Tom Noble.
Michael Barth received 41 percent of the vote - 680 votes - and Walny received 34 percent of the vote, or 565 votes. There were 277 ballots cast for Herda, and 150 for Noble.
Village trustees serve three-year terms and earn $1,200 annually.
The vote total, according to unofficial results Tuesday:
Michael Barth (i) 680
Eido Walny (i) 565
Kelly Herda 277
Tom Noble 150
Brown Deer
Incumbents Jeff Baker and Gary Springman successfully defended their seats against newcomer Otto Bunge. Village President Carl Krueger ran unopposed for his seat.
Of Brown Deer's 8,513 registered voters, 27 percent came out to vote in the contest. Baker took home 43 percent of the vote. Springman received 38 percent and Bunge brought in 19 percent.
Board members serve for three years and earn $3,100 annually.
The vote total, according to unofficial results Tuesday:
Jeff Baker (i) 1,207
Gary Springman (i) 1,075
Otto Bunge 521
Fox Point
Incumbents Eric Fonstad and Douglas H. Frazer will keep their seats on the Fox Point Village Board for three more years, after defeating newcomer and challenger Terry McGauran on Tuesday.
Frazer was the top vote-getter, bringing in 44 percent of the vote. He received 875 votes, while Fonstad received 650 votes, or 33 percent. McGauran brought in 23 percent of the vote, or 454 votes.
Trustees are not paid.
The vote total, according to unofficial results Tuesday:
Douglas H. Frazer (i) 875
Eric Fonstad (i) 650
Terry McGauran 454
Dan Abendroth was re-elected to his seat as the District 1 alderman on the Mequon Common Council, however, since he was elected as Mequon mayor, the Common Council will review applications and appoint someone to the District 1 seat. That person will serve for one year before the seat is up for grabs once again in April 2014.
Newcomer John Leszczynski defeated newcomer Jeff Hansher for the District 4 alderman seat.

UK forecast for the next 5 days
Dry and cloudy for most, with some patchy fog.
This Evening and Tonight:
Patchy rain will move into central parts tonight, with hill fog likely. There'll be clear spells in the north but it will be windy, and under the clearest spells in the south we could see a few patches of fog.
That patchy rain will move slowly northwards tomorrow, becoming mostly confined over hills. Elsewhere it'll be cloudy with some bright breaks, and it'll feel quite warm in any sunny spells.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
Often cloudy, especially Saturday, but mostly dry. Some rain continuing across the northwest. Mild by day but with chilly starts and early fog. Best sunshine expected on Monday in south.
Updated at: 1518 on Thu 27 Oct 2016
Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Tuesday 1 Nov 2016 to Thursday 10 Nov 2016:
It will be settled in the south at first, with a good deal of fine and dry weather but with overnight patchy fog and chilly nights are likely. Meanwhile, the north of the UK is likely to be wetter and windier at times, more so further west. The rain in the north will probably move southwards by midweek, although it'll be lighter in the south, especially in the southeast. Colder air will then move in behind this from the northwest, bringing showers that may be wintry over high ground in the north. There'll be more widespread night frosts, and generally northerly or north-westerly winds over the UK, with generally drier and brighter weather and lighter winds further south.
Updated at: 1302 on Thu 27 Oct 2016
UK Outlook for Friday 11 Nov 2016 to Friday 25 Nov 2016:
The outlook for mid November remains uncertain however spells of windier and stormier weather look to be less likely than would normally be expected at this time of year. Indications suggest that at first northerly or north-westerly winds are likely to predominate over the UK, leading to lower than average temperatures for many and a widespread risk of frosts. The expectation is for windier and more showery conditions to be possible in the north, perhaps with snow over some higher ground, with drier, more settled weather in the south. Towards the end of the period confidence continues to be low, with the most likely scenario looking to be a continuation of the mainly drier, settled weather, although there is a signal for below average temperatures to continue.

North Dakota Coyote Hunting
Directory of 5 North Dakota Coyote hunting lodges, guides and outfitters in North Dakota.
We have strong populations of wild coyotes for hunting. Hunters are responsible for obtaining licenses before arrival at the ranch. We also offer game processing on site. Please contact us for information. Follow in Teddy Roosevelt's tracks as you ride the Maah Daah Hey Trail and the new Buffalo Gap Trail. Bring your favorite horse, mountain bike or hiking boots to ride or walk these rugged, beautiful and silent Badlands. Get up close and personal with some of the most spectacular scenery in the west.
The Dakota Ritz is located by Robinson ND, between Bismarck and Jamestown. Staying here gives you hunting access to 2500 acres of private land, as well as PLOTS and CRP. Besides pheasants, there are grouse, ducks, geese, and coyotes aplenty! Reasonable rates, parties of 3 or more.
These hunts are very rewarding. We hunt using electronic calls, decoys, and motion decoys. During an average hunt, we may have an opportunity to harvest a few coyotes per day. They can range anywhere from 5 yards to 500 yards. Usually they come to within 100 yards.
Come join us on our 3rd Generation farm in Southwest North Dakota. Expect to find warm hospitality and an abundance of game. Guided hunts include wild pheasant, deer, fox and coyote. Our hunting land is a nice combination of river banks with brush & trees, lush CRP, food plots, prairie, cropland, dams, and tree rows. We are always working to develop better quality hunting land.
The area around The Bison Ranch is crawling with coyotes. Here's what to expect when you pair a coyote hunt with your bison hunting package at The Bison Ranch: Partially-guided hunting on tens of thousands of acres of land. We provide scouting, access, and recommendations. The actual hunting is left to you and your group! A battle with the elements. North Dakota is often a frigid place when the coyote hunting is at its best. Bring your layers! Opportunity to package your hunt with other species. Best time to book: Late November-December.
If we are missing any North Dakota Coyote Hunting listings or have any incorrect, please contact us.

DHL Supply Chain picks transportation president, while Kane Is Able names senior VP of transportation and solutions.
XPO Logistics said the sale of its truckload operations includes approximately 3,000 tractors, 7,500 trailers and 29 facilities it acquired in its October 2015 purchase of Con-way Inc., and proceeds will be used to pay down debt.
The less-than-truckload carrier reported a net income of $85.6 million on revenues of $782.6 million for the third quarter of 2016, year-over-year increases of 1.4 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Sources said the South Korean liner carrier will lay off about 180 members of its 500 person workforce in the United States on Friday.
Are means, motive and opportunity enough for Maersk Line to make a move for South Korean ocean carriers Hanjin Shipping and Hyundai Merchant Marine?
Thousands of chassis in and around the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have containers mounted on them that are either owned or leased by the now insolvent ocean carrier Hanjin Shipping.

Update: EA has confirmed that Battlefield: Hardline is the title of an in-development game and that an official announcement will be made June 9 during EA's E3 press conference.
Battlefield won't be disappearing 2014, with recent financial reports confirming that EA has an unannounced title in the line-up for a fall release. What that Battlefield title will be has been, up until today, largely a mystery. With EA DICE working on the publisher's likely new breadwinner, Star Wars: Battlefront, one of their other studios would have to take up the Battlefield mantle. Who could it be? According to what appears to be a reliable leak Dead Space developers Visceral Games will be taking that torch, putting together what's now known to be Battlefield: Hardline.
Whoa, that's a lot of information for a leak, right? When it rains, it pours. A blogger named Koen V. dove into the source code for Battlelog -- the Battlefield social tracking platform attached to both Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 3. Apparently it was attached to another game too when Koen discovered files related to Battlefield: Hardline. Included in the files Koen found were a logo, dozens of unlockable weapons and vehicles, awards and references to maps and game modes. He found a leaker's treasure trove.
As for actual details regarding the game, we can only speculate. It certainly looks to be a different direction of sorts. Certainly, we can't expect too much of a change with regards to Battlefield's core gameplay and leveling features with only a year of development since the last Battlefield was released. Yet specific details imply a much smaller-scale experience. The two sides in the game are referred to as SWAT and THIEVES implying a small-crime type of shooting affair, rather than the "Army vs. Terrorists" style of other Battlefield games. Game modes like Heist and Blood Money accent this new style of game, perhaps inspired by Payday to an extent.
Yet the inclusion of vehicles like humvees with turrets on top of them, military helicopters and hi-grade weaponry definitely shows that the game won't stray far from its roots. Think smaller in theme, rather than structure. City blocks where cops and robbers can play out both chase sequences and small shoot-outs.
E3 is almost certain to place for Battlefield: Hardline's official announcement, so long as EA and Visceral don't break down and announce the game early now that it's leaked. The sooner we move on from Battlefield 4, the better.

Although DOD has chosen to find new health-records software, it will continue its efforts to help the Veterans Affairs Department reduce its claims backlog, promises Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. (File photo)
The Defense Department will continue ongoing efforts to help the Department of Veterans Affairs reduce the claims backlog that has long plagued the agency, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said May 22 on Capitol Hill.
"DOD and VA both work to provide continuous, accessible quality health care for America's active duty military and its veterans," Hagel said before the Senate Appropriations Committee. "As a former VA leader, senator and veteran I have been involved in veterans' issues for many years, and have some understanding and appreciation of the complications and difficulties of this backlog issue. The Department of Defense is committed to doing everything it can to continue to work with the VA in processing claims speedily and efficiently to reduce this backlog."
Hagel outlined actions being taken by DOD, such as sending assistance – including one team of experts to work with the Veterans Benefits Administration on analyzing and processing the claims backlog, as well as another team dispatched to Seattle to help with the Integrated Disability Evaluation System. DOD also is providing the VBA with direct access to its electronic health records system to process claims more quickly, he said.
"DOD and VA are taking steps to ensure that those currently serving will not face a similar backlog in the future," including joint data-sharing summits every six weeks to find ways to improve and enhancing the format of treatment records for easier sharing, Hagel said.
Defense officials recently decided to acquire new software for managing its end of the joint integrated electronic health records program with the VA. However, he said, that might not play much of a role in easing the backlog.
"The centerpiece of DOD's work is the integrated electronic health record program, which is a priority for President Obama, [VA Secretary Eric] Shinseki and me – and I know for the Congress as well," he told lawmakers. "It does relate to some extent to the backlog, but it is not directly to the backlog...in many ways, it is about the future, so that we don't have more backlogs."
"This is a very important moment for the Appropriations Committee to join together on forcing two bureaucracies to do the right thing for our veterans," said Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.). "We think, with some good backup, that with a fully electronic medical record coming from DOD to VA, that that time can be really cut down, so we can do right by our veterans right when they get out of DOD and have that seamless transition into the VA."

The government's departing top acquisition official said she leaves behind a solid foundation on which to build more effective and efficient federal IT.
The National Background Investigations Bureau announced the appointment of its first director as the agency prepares to take over processing government background checks.
Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said agencies are missing out on younger workers because of the government's rigidity, particularly its protracted hiring process.
Since 1987, FCW has covered it all -- the major contracts, the disruptive technologies, the picayune scandals and the many, many people who make federal IT function. Here's a look back at six of the most significant stories.
A short-term funding bill is expected by Sept. 30 to keep the federal government operating through early December, but after that the options get more complicated.
The DOD is opening a new Defense Innovation Unit Experimental office in Austin, Texas, while Congress debates legislation that could defund DIUx.

Roger Longman for In Vivo Magazine, July/August 2015 Issue Incumbency ain't worth what it once was. Pharma companies are spending billions to create advantages that won't have significant lasting power. Smart followers can do as well – for less. As payors struggle to control their spend on specialty drugs, they will be less likely to allow best- or first-in-class drugs to gain dominant market shares. To do so, they are crafting strategies to restrict physicians from widespread prescribing of new, expensive drugs. For pharma, market incumbency will be far more difficult to achieve. Payor-friendly market followers who leverage the groundwork laid by their predecessors could achieve higher ROI. Click here to read the full...Learn More
The more I study it, the more I believe the process of drug assessment by payers and providers needs some serious attention (we'll pay plenty at the Real Endpoints Symposium, March 11-12). But driving action requires concern — and so, who cares? Answer is: anyone interested in improving the dismal economics of healthcare. As we noted here, drug-spend inflation is skyrocketing, thanks largely to the cost of new drugs and, in particular, new specialty drugs. And the best mechanism we have for controlling those costs is the process, led by Pharmacy & Therapeutics committees, for assessing the value of drugs and establishing utilization guidelines. But best, in this case, doesn't mean adequate. Most obviously, the process is redundant. Several hundred payers and several thousand hospitals all have P&T committees, with associated clinical pharmacy specialists and other research infrastructure, looking at the same materials about the same drugs…and by and large coming up with pretty similar answers. It's slow and under-productive. Based on our admittedly unscientific survey, P&T committees at most mid-sized and smaller plans meet quarterly and make decisions on, maybe, 13-15 new drugs per year. They don't have the time or bandwidth to re-assess new data on existing drugs that could change their formulary status. It's oddly limited. ...Learn More
It's certainly the biggest change in healthcare in my business lifetime: the transformation from a fee-for-service economy fueled by abundant dollars to an essentially capitated world of financial tradeoffs. The transformation will likely take longer than we expect. (What transformation doesn't?) Still, payers and providers –and the various big and small service providers hoping to serve them — are already trying to improve swaths business processes as diverse as connectivity, transparency, and consumer communication (see the David Shaywitz/Tony Wolff skeptical take on at least the digital aspect of all this) . But relatively little of this re-engineering aims at the purchase and management of drugs. (We'll be talking about the most important innovations at the Real Endpoints Symposium, March 11-12, in Philadelphia). There are a few experiments on the margin. Some payers are playing with tougher formularies (e.g., UnitedHealth de-preferred major market leaders Januvia and Humira, with significant success in moving the former's market share to Onglyza and less success with Humira). "Pathways" in oncology (attempts to standardize physicians on specific drugs) show promise. And now that Medicare, through its star ratings, is paying plans to improve adherence, there's an opportunity for new models that predict when patients will adhere to their meds and when they won't. (For the...Learn More
One question we get from pharmaceutical and diagnostic clients quite frequently: do payers really care about lowering the costs of care if the cost savings don't show up for a few years? The problem they're talking about is churn: a payer invests in a new cost-saving therapeutic program … only to see the savings redound to his payer-competitor when the patient switches plans (which they do every 3-5 years). Take adherence. It should be an obvious win-win for patients, payers, and pharmaceutical companies (shameless plug: we'll be defining what's wrong and what could be right with adherence at our Real Endpoints Symposium, Nov 1-2, in Philadelphia). But, by and large, solutions to improving adherence have been elusive. "We made a huge investment in adherence," one head of managed markets at a major drug company told us. "And we've gotten zero return. Zero. We can't even bring up the subject to top management." Adherence would be a tough nut to crack even if providers, payers and pharma were completely aligned. It's enormously difficult and expensive to get people to take their medicines as they should. But the problem's been compounded because payers haven't always been particularly helpful in the process. One reason: they haven't felt the economic need to spend...Learn More
Jack Bailey, the man in charge of GlaxoSmithKline's US goverment affairs, public policy and payer marketing business unit, knows his company has to change. As providers and payers move from the incentives of a fee-for-service model to one that focuses on value, and are exploring new approaches such as risk-sharing and bundled payments, drug firms like GSK need to make sure that a "new medicine [has] a compelling value proposition, particularly for payers," said Bailey. Bailey will outline just how GSK's doing that, as well as discuss how it's adapting its strategy to address a payer-centric marketplace, at the Real Endpoints Symposium in Philadelphia Nov 1-2. To get a sense of what he's going to say, and to hear a fuller discussion of the summary you're reading now, you can click here to listen to our pre-Symposium interview. The problem is that discerning what Bailey calls "the voice of the payer" within a drug development program isn't easy. Real Endpoints believes payers are consumed with their own financial and medical management issues, new structural changes, horizontal mergers and consumerization efforts. They can't focus much attention on something so comparatively minor and, in the case of development stage drugs, irrelevant to the next few years' expense structure. In spite of...Learn More
Zeke Emanuel would like to set the record straight. He's not against new medical technology. Indeed, the UPenn med school and Wharton professor calls the profusion of industry-generated new technologies "a great thing". But his support is necessarily tempered — a wariness born from his days as a health policy advisor in the Clinton and Obama administrations. Emanuel's willingness to critique newer, costlier innovations that deliver results no better than older, cheaper technologies has made him a lightning rod for critics who argue he's in favor of rationing (as well as death panels, which he was famously accused of inventing as part of his role in fashioning the Affordable Care Act). He also happens (with another dozen and a half similarly influential panelists) to be a speaker at the Real Endpoints Symposium on Nov 1-2 in Philadelphia. The unfortunate truth, says Emanuel, is that advances in healthcare technology have generally not delivered the kind of productivity benefits Moore's law describes in computer processing. But that won't always be so. Future technologies, he believes, will not only increase the quality of healthcare, particularly in areas which haven't seen much progress, but also "lower costs and do it more efficiently." That double goal is "what technology is supposed to do…we just...Learn More
What goes around comes around. "Employers are asking: what proportion of your reimbursement [spending] on physicians, hospitals…or pharmaceutical companies is performance-based," says Lewis Sandy, MD, SVP Clinical Advancement at UnitedHealth and principal in its Center for Reform and Modernization. (Click here for audio excerpts of the interview). "And we're being scorecarded against that." Which means, for product companies, that either risk-sharing is going to be the dominant marketing tool to payers (if your drug achieves X result in my population, I'll pay your price – if not, not) or that drug companies will need their kind of data ahead of time. We interviewed Sandy in preparation for the Real Endpoints Symposium, Nov 1-2, where he'll be speaking in a panel discussion with Martin Mackay, president of R&D at AstraZeneca, and Bob Galvin, the CEO of Equity Healthcare, probably the leading company in managing employer health costs and quality. To hear more of our interview with Lew Sandy, click here. As to the kind of data that United's looking for, it's not necessarily tied to cost-effectiveness, says Sandy, though that's the area of greatest controversy. The most important issues relate to clinical efficacy. But Sandy's definition of efficacy and a pharmaceutical company's are very different. Drug companies focus on the...Learn More
All things being equal, insurers prefer a drug that's designed to work for a person with a specific genotype than one targeting a more general group of patients. The notion makes sense medically. It should make sense economically too — less drug gets wasted on people who won't benefit and who might incur expensive side-effects in the bargain. That's the promise of personalized medicine, and it's why new drugs focusing on more specific populations than their competitors should have reimbursability advantages. But all things are rarely equal. Some highly popular drugs – Abbott Laboratories' Humira, for example – generate a ton of rebate income for payers. Moving to a more targeted rheumatoid arthritis therapy makes sense in the abstract, but could certainly lose a payer a chunk of change it had been counting on if its preference for the new drug violates its contract with Abbott. And then there's science, which sometimes seems to follow no rules at all. For example, Eli Lilly showed in its development of Plavix-competitor Effient that up to 30% of people don't effectively activate Plavix thanks to a mutation in the CYP2C19 gene responsible for making the enzyme required to metabolize the drug. In individuals with this mutation, therefore, Plavix shouldn't work. Medco seized...Learn More
Who controls reimbursement? Talk to a drug company, or most pharmaceutical analysts, and the answer is payers. Talk to payers and the answer is far more complicated – and not one where they claim overall control of the process. The fact is reimbursement doesn't come down to a decision; it's an environment. And like any environment, its effects have multiple causes. I don't pretend to fully understand why sales of Dendreon's prostate cancer therapy, Provenge, have so dramatically underperformed the company's, analysts' and even some payers' expectations. But while plenty of people think that insurers simply choked on the $93,000 price and set up huge obstacles to its reimbursement, that's not really true (roughly 90% of commercial plans actually pay for it without restrictions any more severe than those imposed on the more expensive and far more successful Yervoy). Instead, at least one of the problems is that urologists, the primary prescribers of the drug, aren't used to the buy-and bill-model, particularly when it's employed for very expensive drugs. At a time when physician budgets themselves are stretched, owning those costs – even for a short period of time – makes a doctor look hard at the value provided by the medicine. Meantime, in the summer of 2010 CMS...Learn More
You might have heard that, for about a month, domestic abusers in Topeka roamed free. Not because the community encourages wife-beaters. But because it couldn't afford to prosecute them. County DAs, dealing with a 10% budget cut, said they didn't have the money to go after misdemeanors, including domestic abuse. So they sent the cases over to Topeka city prosecutors, who, suffering under similar economics, likewise claimed they couldn't afford to prosecute under the local Topeka law. In an attempt to push the cases back on the county, the city council repealed the law and its jails freed 18 domestic-abuse suspects, at least one of whom went on to beat again. If you've got a finite pot of prosecutorial money, what do you prosecute? Domestic abuse or, say, drunk driving? And if you've got a finite pot of health care money, what do you fund? Cancer therapy or hip replacements? Just like Topeka's city councilors, health plan administrators are going to start deciding who gets health care and who doesn't. Think about the poor schmoes who have to run Medicaid plans — and somehow have to figure out, when the Feds start cutting back, whether to use this year's budget money for the new Hep C protease inhibitor...Learn More

Palomar Health Chief Exec's Wages Land At No. 2 In State
DeAnn McEwen, co-president of the California Nurses Association, said the district has laid off workers and pushed back the opening of clinics in Ramona and Valley Center. "To support that kind of salary, I think it's unconscionable," McEwen said. "They are holding back on what the voters are paying for." More »

The project near downtown
Details of the
Palmetto Primary Care is promising that its new venture will bring down medical costs. It said Thursday that it wouldn't elaborate until next week's announcement.
The practice, which is led by CEO
The document described the investment as "a physician-led approach to health-care reform" that brings together the latest developments in "office, diagnostics, telemedicine and minimally invasive ambulatory care."
It also said the centralized location "will support independent practitioners, promote collaboration among primary care doctors and specialists through the clinical integration of medical, health and wellness services, while reducing medical costs."
About 75 percent of the projected 1,500 jobs, or more than 1,100 positions, will be newly created.
The first stage calls for two 150,000-square-foot medical office buildings, an ambulatory surgery center, a 24-hour urgent care unit, rehabilitation services and other health facilities.
Follow-up phases could include cancer treatment, hospice services, assisted-living residences and medical lodging.
Palmetto Primary Care said its future campus will enable participating physicians to remain independent by sharing expenses and services and by minimizing duplication.
Also, doctors and other care providers will have access to an electronic records system, centralized billing and bulk purchasing deals.
An ultra-high speed Internet network being installed at Nexton will enable the sharing and viewing of large medical images with specialists in other parts of the country or world, according to the overview.
A big question is how the new venture will affect existing medical providers.
Trident didn't respond to an emailed request for comment Thursday. Roper declined to comment.
Palmetto Primary Care is made up of more than 90 doctors who practice in primary and specialty care areas. The group employs more than 650 clinical and support staffers at 32 offices in seven

Pro-democracy campaigners in the English ICA attacked council members for their decision to ?censor? motions due to be heard at the annual general meet-ing in the summer.
Jeff Wooller and his ?Ginger Group? claimed their campaign to increase democracy and streamline the institute?s decision-making structure was being hindered by the council after it refused to let them publish the original text of several motions due to be heard at the agm in June.
In Wooller?s first motion, he says the president should be democratically elected by ballot. The other two motions draw on elements of the Gerrard report which Wooller claims have been ignored. One says the district societies should be self-financing, the other says the total number of council members should be reduced to 53.
He was slapped down by the council which disapproved of the proposals being put forward ?on behalf of the ICAEW Ginger Group?, and the proposal for a democratically elected president made use of a lengthy quotation from an Accountancy Age interview with respected council member Ian Hay Davison.
But president Chris Laini refused to allow Wooller to use the ICAEW title, and he was banned from circulating Hay Davison?s quotation.
Acting secretary and chief executive John Collier said: ?Upcoming by-law changes will require us to put all members? motions forward to the members, but those laws are not yet in place.
?We are allowing Dr Wooller to put his points in the interest of fair play. But Ian Hay Davison made it very clear he did not align himself with Wooller?s proposals and objected to being quoted. In addition, the Ginger Group has no formal status and it is wrong of Dr Wooller to give the impression he is representative,? he said.
Wooller was undeterred. ?Members should be given the right to vote on Gerrard,? he said. ?Voting on the whole report last year, 46.4% were in favour of adopting it. And it?s clear the president should be democratically elected. The council is just warning me it won?t send out any of my motions if I cause problems.?
But Collier pointed out the institute has 90% support for its reform programme, and said it was ?unhelpful? of Wooller to ?come back again with some cherry-picked aspects of Gerrard?.

Ok, So the Seattle Seahawks will be one of the most talked about teams in the NFL for the first time since they were (in my humble non biased opinion) screwed out of a Super Bowl victory. Pete Carroll has a lot of work to do so I am going to step by step in what they need to do to bring this franchise back to both the playoffs and the Super Bowl.
First and foremost, Offensive line Seriously, I've been a fan of the Seahawks for as long as I've been watching football, and to this point in my life I've never seen more changes and injuries to an offensive line. On top of that when you're counting on young guys like Unger and Willis to maintain an offensive line without the tutoring on field of a future Hall of Famer like Walter Jones you're bound to have a horrible time guarding your quarterback and opening holes for your backs.
Quaterback, now this is a touchy subject because I've suffered through Rick Mier, Jon Kitna, Warren Moon*at the end of his carrer* I have nothing but love and respect for Matt Hasselbeck he in my mind is a future HoF'er and Ring of Honor Member, but his time is slowly winding down. Now with our sixth pick in this years draft I'm suggesting Jimmy Clausen out of Notre Dame, he is the most NFL ready quarterback I've ever seen and he is about 110% more durable than Sam Bradford and has better accuracy and arm strength then Colt McCoy, I'm almost positive they'll go with Clausen at six but I could be wrong. And if you give Clause one maybe two years behind Hasselbeck with the Mike Holmgren ties added to Charlie Weis' teachings you'll have one hell of a quarterback.
Running Backs and Full Backs, as huge a fan of Notre Dame footbal as I am Julius Jones has gotta go. At 14 I see the 'Hawks going with CJ Spiller from Clemson if he drops to 14 we've gotta take him and run a two back system with Forsett and Spiller. Justin Griffith has served his purpose as a teacher to former WVU standout Owen Schmitt it's time to let that beast loose and have him open up some holes for Spiller and Co.
Wide Receivers and Tight Ends, The one part of the Seahawks team that has little room for concern, cause if healthy the Seahawks have one of the most talented pools of Receiver talent in the NFL, Nate Burleson is an all purpose guy with semi-dependable hands and the ability to make the big catch. Deon Butler is a guy I'm looking forward to seeing in a Seahawks uniform for a long time he is Penn States all time leading receiver and is a game breaker with his speed. TJ Houshmazadaha is your security blanket he'll make a triple covered catch in traffic if you get the ball to him. Deion Branch I'm not too sure will return this year. John Carlson is going to be hands down the best tight end in football for years to come he'll be a Todd Heap, Dallas Clark, Tony Gonzalez type guy and he's a hard nosed guy who will help in the blocking scheme.
Defensive End, Darryl Tapp and Lawrence Jackson are good they're not great but they're serviceable and have great talent get the right coaching and they can be a top tier tandem coming off the ends. This is something that needs addressed in the draft is some guys to come in and give Tapp and Jackson a break. Patrick Kerney I'm not sure if he's here or gone so I'm going to assume gone and not gonna be back.
Defensive Tackle, I think this is Brandon Mebanes make or break year Colin Cole proved last year that he is capable of holding the line, because it's not that Seattles defense was bad last year it's just tough to be good all the time when you're on the field 80% of the game. This is a position that needs depth and should be addressed in the draft.
Linebacker, the best position on the Seahawks team, Lofa Tatupu, Aaronn Curry, Leroy Hill, David Hawthorne, and DD Lewis. They're the heart and soul of the D and the only position on the team that doesn't need any tweaking or help from the draft.
Corners and Safety, Ok, this is quite possibly the most depressing thing about this defense, you've got a bunch of guys with astronomic speed and they can't play with half assed receivers in the NFL they're all under 6 feet tall and the only two players that can hit with an force are Trufant and Grant the rest of the guys should be receivers the only problem is they can't catch the football. This is the position Pete Carroll seriously needs to address and fast. If you can't stop the other team from scoring it won't matter if the 'Hawks score 100 points if the other team scores 101 points they still win.
As a long time Seahawks fan I'm tired of moral victories I want a super bowl title and the talent is there, the draft picks are there, the coaching staff is there, it's just a matter of putting it all together. I have all the faith in the world for Pete Carroll, please don't let me and 12th man down, Please Pete.

The staff was polite and very helpful.
It was all quaint and quiet.
Nothing but the location.
The room was very dirty and nasty. We found hair on the towels and sheets. The shower head was disgusting! The room was small and didn't feel comfortable at all. The staff was not friendly and helpful.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was very good and well replenished.
It was clean and not run down looking
It could of smelled better not that stuffy mildew smell
Clean, comfortable, quiet, and decent breakfast layout
Would stay here again.
May secure best price by calling the facility directly rather than booking online.
Lots of truckers apparently use the facility at night due to it's price and location just off the interstate. However, that presented no problem at all on two separate stays.
The location was nice and close to our destination of Graceland. The price was fair and the service was great.
Enjoyed the silence
It was well kept but my floor was sticky as well as throughout the building. Trash was placed by elevator. Mud and dirt was in lobby area I guess housekeeping was available certain hours
morning breakfast good, rooms comfortable
breakfast ended too early
room excellent, pool, breakfast, STAFF!!!!, location, price
pillows not up to snuff -lots of them but not what I would call great
Conveniently located close to freeways accessing major city.
No microwave located in the room.
The hotel was full with 10 - 12 year old boys, there for a tormnament. They kept running up and down the hall, The desk clerk didn't help must. Then the FIRE ALARM went off approx. 12:30 am and again at approx. 1:00 am with the fire dept. arriving then
Breakfast was great. not just sweet rolls. Also had eggs, cereal, biscuits, potatoes and oatmeal.
Clean, hot breakfast, nice gym!!
The price was awesome, the hotel was great, and our stay was wonderful!!
Quiet and secluded. Great breakfast
Excellent spacous room. Very Clean and big. Great kitchen features.
Microwave started on fire, but called staff and they replaced it right away. Computer in business center very slow, but it was nice to be able to check email.
Room comfort and price. A short stay, (overnight), so the room accessories, kitchen,etc. were not needed but they could be a valuable consideration for a longer stay.
Breakfast selections. Condsidering the room price, it the breakfast choices were reasonable. Compaired to other similar hotels in the area, the breakfast arrangement would be considered as meager.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
