Can I use modifier 25 on an E/M service on the same day as a preventive medicine exam
Let's review what a preventive medicine service is, in order to answer that question. Preventive medicine services are:
• The description given by CPT® for "annual physicals"
• Divided into new and established patient visits
• Categorized by the age of the patient
• Individually listed, with RVUs in chart in appendix
• 99381—99387 for new patient, preventive medicine, delineated by age
• 99391—99397 for established patient, preventive medicine, delineated by age
A preventive medicine service includes:
• Age/gender appropriate comprehensive history and physical exams
• Require anticipatory guidance and risk factor reduction
• Referral for/provision of screening tests and immunizations
• Include treatment of existing problems that "do not require significant extra work"
• Separate payment (per CPT) is allowed for vision, hearing and screening tests, although not all payers pay based on CPT® rules
• Typically, tympanometry is paid separately, but the vision screening (99173) may not be (Although it should be, per CPT
• Many visits have components of both preventive medicine services and "sick" visits
Bill a self pay patient or a commercially insured patient both a preventive medicine and office visit when: (Medicare and Medicaid have their own rules, of course!)
Can you get paid for both?
• Varies by insurance company
• A separate note helps you to select the level of service for the non-preventive medicine portion of the service
• A separate note shows the insurance company the significant extra work you performed—although it is not required by CPT
CPT® says: "If an abnormality/ies is encountered or a preexisting problem is addressed in the process of performing this preventive medicine evaluation and management service, and if the problem/abnormality is significant enough to require additional work to perform the key components of a problem-oriented E/M service, then the appropriate Office/Outpatient code 99201-99215 should be reported. Modifier 25 should be added to the Office/Outpatient code to indicate that a significant, separately identifiable E/M service was provided by the same physician on the same day as the preventive medicine service. The appropriate preventive medicine service is additionally reported."
Billing the Q0091 and/or the G0101 with a Preventive Medicine code is somewhat controversial. You will find some people who are adamantly against it. I personally feel that because the Preventive Medicine codes are only differentiated by New and Established patient and by Age; therefore gender specific further evaluation should be reimbursed on top of the Preventive Medicine visit. So, basically, a female preventive medicine exam reimburses the same exact amount as a male of the same age. However, a well-woman exam is more labor intensive, greater risk and utilizes more supplies and time than what would be included in a well-man exam. Why shouldn't we receive a higher reimbursement to cover the costs of a breast and pelvic exam and obtaining pap smear? We may not have to pay for the thin-prep containers, but we do have to pay for the speculum, spatulas, brush, gloves, lubricant, gown, etc.
In addition, many women choose to see their PCP for the general physical exam and go to their gynecologist for the well-woman part of it. Should the gynecologist use the Preventive Medicine code for their portion of the exam....even though they don't go beyond the genitourinary system? The gynecologist should be able to code the G0101 and the Q0091 (and possibly an OV code if there is a problem-oriented issue discussed), leaving the Preventive Medicine code to the PCP. Now, what happens if the health plan will never pay the Q0091 and G0101? The gynecologist will not get paid!
I typically suggest that the Q0091 and G0101 code be coded to every health plan and not to worry which ones pay and which ones don't. It's better to code it and get paid for one or both than to not code and not get paid on either. For example, for one major healthplan, I recommend that our physicians perform and code a Preventive Medicine code first. During that visit, the physician should perform the basic preventive medicine exam and order the blood work and any other testing that is necessary for age and gender. Have the patient return to the office on another day and go over the results of the testing that has already been done, address any problem issues, and then do a well-woman exam...code the OV(with modifier -25) and the G0101 and Q0091 codes for that second visit. I understand that it is inconvenient for the patient and we try to make things convenient; but this is what the health plans require. I have actually had a particular health plan state that this is the way we should code, regardless of it being inconvenient to the patient. It's too bad, but physicians have to start looking at their bottom line!
I definitely advise people to look into the S0610 and S0612 for the gynecology visit, especially with BCBS. They will find the reimbursement rates are very good. Other health plans will reimburse the S-codes; however, Medicare will not. We are currently testing variations of coding combinations by payer to determine which is the most appropriate combination to bill by payer. This does take a lot of time on your staffs part, but it could be very cost effective if you are able to actually receive reimbursement for the services you are providing. When using the S0610/S0612, do not use the G0101 code, because they are pretty much the same code. However, I would code Q0091 in addition to the S-code if a screening pap smear was obtained.
These codes are controversial in the "coding" community; however, I firmly believe that there should be increased reimbursement for the well woman preventive exam. It truly troubles me that the Preventive Medicine codes are reimbursed the same for male and female patients. We have already established that it requires more time, more risk and requires supplies to perform the breast, pelvic and pap. The fact that some health plans want to bundle that into the Preventive Medicine exam is ridiculous! One of my goals is to inform more physicians about this and, eventually, the more physicians who take a stand, the more power we have to change the reimbursement by the health plans!
There are many physicians, billers and coders, who just accept whatever they can get as far as reimbursement. There is not enough time in a day to do appeals and really learn the various coding policies. One of the worst mistakes a physician can do is to under staff the billing department and/or not have billing people who have the means (resources) to stay abreast of all the inconsistencies in billing. The other problem that I see in our industry is that, coders especially, see only in "black and white". There is no "outside the box" for them. This is a detriment because, as we can see, the health plans do not know "black and white". Each health plan develops their own reimbursement policies that go against what coders learn. There are Medicare guidelines, CPT guidelines, BCBS guidelines, UHC guidelines...I think you get the picture! When I talk with my physicians and billing/coding staff, I will clarify that I am referring to one guideline versus another.
Now, until all physicians, coders and billers can get on the same page and insist that the health plans reimburse for the services that the physicians perform, we are going nowhere and the health plans are holding the cards! I applaud physicians and their staff for seeking information and building their understanding of this part of the industry.

How Much Does a Harley Davidson Cost?
Throughout the years, there are several companies that released their own versions of the famed motorcycles, but none has had such a lasting reputation as a Harley Davidson. Harley Davidson was even able to endure and survive the Great Depression. They have also beat out several competitors over the years from different manufacturers. Harley Davidson started in 1901, and since then, the company has been known for selling motorcycle heavyweights that are over 750 cc, which are designed for highway cruising. The price for Harley Davidson motorcycles varies from one model to another. Depending on the make and year of the motorcycle, it can be more expensive if it's the latest model.
How much is it?
- On average, Harley Davidsons are going to vary anywhere from $8,000 to as much as $40,000 or more for a higher end bike. Customized bikes can easily raise the price tag as well. Harley Davidson has lines that include the Sportster, the Dyna Line, Softail Line, VSRC and touring line.
- The 2011 Harley Davidson Dyna Glide series has 4 sets of different models. These models include the Street Bob, Wide Glide, Super Glide Custom and Fat Bob. Their prices vary from $13,000 to $75,000.
- A Harley Davidson that is designed for touring sells for $19,000 to $36,000. This is the Road Glide series that includes the Custom, CVO Ultra, and Ultra model, with the CVO Ultra being the most expensive.
- The 2011 Harley Davidson Sportster consists of the models 1200 Custom, Iron 883, Forty Eight, 1200 Low and Nightster. The Nightster is one of the most affordable models sold. These are sold for $8,000 to $11,800.
What are the extra costs?
- Safety gear is going to be required. Items such as helmets, jackets and boots are going to be required to ensure that you have a safe ride. These accessories cost anywhere from $150 to $400.
- Spare parts and regular maintenance will be required down the road in case your motorcycle breaks down. Spare parts can cost $100 to $800, depending on the parts that you need. For professional installation, the price can rise by 30-50%.
- Most buyers opt to purchase an extended warranty. This warranty is going to protect you outside of the company's warranty. The extended warranty plan on average is going to cost around 25 to 35% of the total bike's price.
- If you are going to finance your motorcycle and pay it off over a few years, you may pay more after you take interest into account.
What is going to be included?
- Some dealers will throw in some additional start up accessories such as cleaners, a satchel, helmet and more. Check with your local dealer to see what kind of incentives that they have to offer.
- A new bike will also come with a limited warranty that can last from 90 days to as long as a few years.
How can I save money?
- Consider purchasing an older model. There are plenty of used motorcycles sold on the market that will enable you to save money. Choose a well maintained motorcycle to ensure that it will last the same as a brand new one. Check local classifieds such as Craigslist to find older bikes in your area.
- If you want to purchase new, negotiate on the price tag as well as the extended warranty. Most dealers will be able to come down on the price.

The Real Life

Many people who think that life is trivial. They just fill it with things that are negative. Life is not a trivial thing. Sometimes there are times when we must cherish our own lives. Do not waste your time with negative things. Because we never know when our lives will be taken back by God. This Sunday morning I got the news that one of my good friends died of illness. Many of my friends saddened and shocked to hear the news. How can God just decided to end her life. But I always assumed that whatever God's decision, it was the best decision. Similarly, when God ended the life of my father, at first I was sad, but a short time I know that it's the best decision for my family. The most important thing I will always love and pray for those who have left me first. Goodbye my friend, we always love you. Starting from now I should be thinking more about what I would do in life.
This is not my outfit post. These photos were taken while I was on holiday in Bogor botanical gardens. When I saw there was a place where a lot of big bamboo trees shaped, I was immediately attracted to take pictures there. The location was great for photos. I wear two knit shawl that I wrap into one. I love to wear shawl. Make me look more unusual look. I promised to come back again to the Bogor botanical garden and made some pictures there.

I felt really down this morning. I started thinking about what my future later. What will I do? . What would I have?. What about my life? A lot of things I think as long as I went to work this morning. I know and have always known that God has a wonderful plan for every human being in the world. As a normal human being I also have the feeling jealous of others' successes. But I do not want to stuck on a feeling like that. I'm just a waste of time if you always jealous of other people. I look better and achieve success for myself. I always believe God has set the way for us. The best path. The road should we get with the full sacrifice. The story begins when I passed in front of the home of a friend of mine this morning when I was leaving for work. I saw her success to the work that I think his future is guaranteed. Then say to think that the work I do now is very monotonous and repetitive always done. Saturated. Bored. Whatever you call it I really feel sad when I finally got to work, I just was not strong enough to work and intends to resign from my current job. It's not easy to find a job in a big city like Jakarta. Many people looking for work here and there, but when I was already in a safe place to work I even want to get out. Someday I would also be out. But not now. Yup not now, I better enjoy my job and working with the best. I'm sure I certainly can and will succeed. Thanks to my friends today that are giving spirit and motivation for me. Love you all.

For months I would like to buy new shoes, and finally when I attended the event LOOKATSMARKET, I bought flat shoes from one local brand named
. If you know I've made a review post about this shoe. Comfort is the most important thing in wearing shoes, and it seems like I'm not mistaken settled on Junkiee to add to my shoe collection. Very very comfortable when wearing these shoes. When I tried to shoe size, I was given to know that this fitting shoes worn without socks. But I was never confident wearing shoes without socks. I love the color of these shoes are brown like my favorite drink ice cappucino. Coupled with detail stripes on the side of shoes, without thinking I immediately bought it.

We certainly could have never imagined the ideal partner, in accordance with what we expect. Is it just a fantasy or it could become a reality? hmmmm .... nothing is impposible right. Many people complain why until now he has not found a life partner. I would also never experienced. But I think love is the only thing in life complement. We can still feel the beauty of love and affection that we can get from parents, relatives, friends or anyone else. No need someone special, to get love. Love 'll find you if you try.
Hello September. Say hello to my 1st photoshoot in this month. In accordance with what I was told when I will make a new photoshoot outside the city. And this is the first town, Bogor. Last Sunday I made a photoshoot in Bogor Botanical Garden, a large garden there are many different types of flora.
Very fun making this photoshoot. Because for the first time I made it outside the city. What picture pretty enough away from the entrance, to get there I had to pass through large trees and a variety of flora are very green and fresh. Like walking among the beautiful creation of God. I chose this as the location of the red bridge photoshoot. From the beginning, it was my plan to make it there. One of the best location to take pictures. Covered bridge with red paint is absolutely everyone's attention and take pictures there. Many stories that there are many strange things when there are people taking photos there. Some say if we pass the bridge with our girlfriends, our relationships will be over. But if you cross the bridge with friends of the opposite sex, later when you both chose to continue the relationships will be true love. Hmmmm do you believe? Just try to see for yourself. I was wearing a brightly colored outfit that is green shirt and yellow polo t-shirts. Good combination right. In sharp contrast with the color red is on the bridge. Like the color of traffic lights, red, yellow and green. Someday I promise to get back in there and make a photoshoot again in different places there.
Ps : Next sunday i'll go to Bandung and maybe i'll make a new photoshoot in there. Wish me luck :)

American doctor Lindsay Rosenwald has been a prolific founder of development stage biotech companies.
According to Wikipedia, Rosenwald has started many biotechnology companies who have over 100 licensed clinical-stage medicines. Many of those drugs were approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration as well as in foreign countries. One medicine was approved for Acute promyelocytic leukemia, a routinely fatal disease, that has cured many thousands of incurable patients over the last decade and continues that achievement today, marking a change to how this disease is treated. Another cancer drug developed by one of his start-up companies is today a near billion dollar-selling drug for prostate cancer. Additionally, that company was the first company to be acquired for approximately $1 billion after only phase 2 studies. Other drugs approved by the United States and many other countries include drugs for schizophrenia, fibromyalgia, obesity, influenza, and infant respiratory distress syndrome.
Biotechnology is "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use" (UN Convention on Biological Diversity).
Even though for some of us the word is really new, biotechnology has been here for over 100 years. The term was coined in 1919 by Hungarian engineer Karl Ereky and the technology was used in agriculture, medicine and of course food production. In the last century the technology was developed to include genomics, recombinant gene technologies, applied immunology, and development of pharmaceutical therapies and diagnostic tests.
Because the activity is controversial and dangerous, there are some regulations. At the begining, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was the US organism who controlled the activity in the biotechology field. Today, the rules are made by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) that regulates plant pests and medical preparation from living organisms, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that regulates pesticides and herbicides, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which ensures that the food and drug products are safe and effective.
It is worth mentioning that the FDA's activity was seriously discussed on various ocazions. They are suspected to be hand in hand with the major GMO companies like Monsanto.
The medicines released by the American doctor and founder Lindsay Rosenwald were FDA approved so, they should be safe. Most of the drugs made by the companies of Linday Rosenwald are potential cancer treatment.

3.1C INDEPENDENT LIVING, Certifications and Requirements, Coordination1. Question: What is specifically being asked of the State regarding the coordination requirement at 477(b)(3)(F) of the Social Security Act?
Answer: The law requires each State to coordinate its Independent Living Program and services with other agencies and providers that serve youth. Programs listed in the legislation (transitional living programs, abstinence education programs, local housing programs, programs for disabled youth and school-to-work programs) must be included in the State's coordination effort; however, we encourage States to coordinate with an even broader range of youth-oriented agencies and programs such as health-related programs, local job training and employment programs, community colleges and youth shelters. Regulations at 45 CFR 1357 offer guidance on how the State must consult and coordinate with other public/private entities for the title IV-B program that might be useful to the State in implementing the CFCIP program.

- Title
- Transformation between HL7 and Continuity of Care Record to facilitate web-based Personal Health Record systems
- Author(s)
- Sutanto, Jofry Hadi
- Abstract
- To establish interoperability between Health/Hospital Information System (HIS), there exist standards or protocols designed by capable organizations to help different HISs communicatebetter with each other. Reliable and accurate communication is nowadays a prerequisite to delivering fully integrated health care to patients. In practice, there are two main leading standards adopted by various HISs, Health Level 7 (HL7) and Continuity of Care Record (CCR). The HL7 v2.x set of healthcare messaging standards are the predominant ones used by healthcare institutions in much of the world. They have been designed for managing healthcare and so provide a complete set of information and messages necessary for the provision of healthcare. Also, the scope of HL7 has expanded to include standards for the interchange of clinical data in all settings, a reference information model, data types, decision support and clinical guidelines, clinical documents and clinical templates, clinical context objects, terminology, security, XML, and the electronic health record. More recently the Continuity of Care Record (CCR) standard was proposed as a digital form of referrals; it describes the condition of a person – a snapshot – at the time of the referral. It offers a light-weight, easy implemented approach, and its focus is on the exchange of health summaries. Personal Health Record (PHR) systems such as Google Health and Microsoft Health Vault use the CCR format for input (and output), which is correct, as such systems collect snapshots of health (rather than or in addition to healthcare) information. While both were initially made for different purposes, the need to collaborate with each other was soon deemed necessary, resulting in the release by HL7 of the Continuity of Care Document (CCD). This is a patient summary clinical document that is derived from the HL7 CDA (Clinical Document Architecture) Reference Information Model (RIM), but provides health summary information parallel to that of the CCR. This result is a standard that is much more complex than the CCR, so it still does not solve the integration issue between HISs which favour the HL7 (version 2.x or CCD) and those (especially PHRs)which prefer the CCR due to its simplicity. For healthcare institutions, which use HL7, to effectively communicate with PHR systems which use the CCR, there must be a translation between these two standard formats. We present such a translation; it is in the public domain, so is open for improvements from knowledgeable institutions and individuals.

Last night I met up with two of my critique group members, Robyn Hood Black and Kim Siegelson. We had dinner then headed to the library to hear Austin Kleon talk about his new book STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST. He read the first two chapters and I thought he was brilliant. Here's a trailer:
Austin is the famed creator of "Black Out Poetry" which is very cool in itself. This guy is worth checking out.
Here is Robyn, Austin, and me with our signed books. (Kim is taking the picture.)

I don't know what you mean by "Minimum/Maximum Radius". The minimum or maximum radius to do what? The formula you post is for finding the area of a circle segment of any radius. There is no "minimum or maximum radius" except for the obvious minimum: 0 radius with 0 area. But the radius can be as large as you please making the area as large as you please.
As for the math problem website you give, Are you looking for the angle for the opening that will make that circular gutter as large as possible for a given Circumference? I think you may be overlooking the "for a given circumference" condition. Without that we can make the area as large as we wish by taking the angle closer and closer to 0.
Start with a circle of radius R. It has circumference and area . If we cut an angle , measured in radians, out of the circle, we cut out of the circumference, leaving and we cut, using that formula you found, leaving a cross-section area of .
For a given circumference, , we have so that .
Since sine is periodic with period , [tex]sin(\theta)= sin(2\pi- C/R)= sin(-C/R)= -sin(C/R) so the area is given by .
Now, it is not a matter of differentiating that with respect to to determine the "optimum" . As I said, that would be to maximize the cross section area. The problem is simply to compare that, for a given circumference C with the areas the same cross section lengths of the other two figures to see which gives the greatest area. There is no calculus required.

There is a blog I follow, and have linked to several times : Girls and Bicycles. The blog is run by a lovely lady living up in Canada, who has the beautiful ability of bringing skirts and bicycles together.
Recently she started sharing writing on "Shareable" and I love getting even more of her writing into my blog feeder everyday.
Every time I leave the house by bicycle I get exercise (even pregnant, as I am in the above picture). I often meet new people and almost always have some chat with a neighbour while I'm coming and going. As a result I actually know the people in my neighborhood and the business owners in the surrounding areas. I save time by not having to go to the gym. I sleep well at night because my body is getting a lot of activity. I can eat whatever I want without feeling guilty.
If you need inspired, or motivated to get on your bike and use it for various things, including outings with friends, go read Girls and Bicycles now!

Sounds silly to me.
I was thinking of the sound of that rubbery cake in a Little Rascals episode: "Weeeee-Waahhhh…"
They sound so much better than the digital Weee Waaahhs we have nowadays.
If we move the couch against the wall and get rid of that desk of yours — you can write at the kitchen table, it's not like you're creating the great American novel, after all — I think we've got room for the Weeee-Waaahhs. Imagine how jealous Wellington will be when he sees this!
I remember when the Weee-Waaahhs first went electric at the Newport Folk Festival. Pete Seeger was so mad he could spit. And now suddenly the Weee-Waaahhs are back again, "unplugged." Hmmm.
Do you have one of these in the key of crazy daddy-o?
Not to be confused with the Doooo Daaahs.
OOOOOH leeeyaKOOOO!

If that is all you want to know, then the first is wrong, the second is right.
If you want to know why the first is wrong and the second right, you will need to tell us why you thought they were correct.
I must be missing something - the first term is the interest - 0.05B/12 (monthly interest times principal). Mom puts in 240/6 = 40 a month, and Saleem takes out 50 a month, so that gives -10 for the other term. So isn't A correct?

Purpose: Several surveys exist to determine the severity and frequency of chronic symptoms related to visual discomfort. To our knowledge, there are no studies that investigate the potential of chronic visual discomfort ratings to predict acute discomfort symptoms that are experienced after tests of accommodation and vergence. We examined the ability of two measures of chronic visual discomfort symptoms to predict acute symptoms experienced.
Methods: The Conlon et al. and the convergence insufficiency symptom surveys were administered to 40 participants to assess chronic visual discomfort symptoms. Two measures were used to assess acute symptoms. The first consisted of four Likert-scaled questions relating to comfort level during last test, visual distortions or movement, discomfort caused by overhead lights, and presence of headache symptoms. These questions were asked before and after binocular examination, and the scores were used to generate a postexamination symptom score. The second measure of acute symptoms consisted of participants rating their general discomfort on a four-point Likert scale after each binocular test, and the ratings were summed to produce a General Symptom Score. Participants were then categorized into a high or low Post-exam symptom group and General symptom group. Data were analyzed with a binary logistic regression to determine whether the chronic surveys could predict acute symptom group classification.
Results: Approximately 75% of predictions were accurate for either chronic symptom survey. Headache, soreness, and eye-related questions were more reliable predictors of symptom acute outcome.
Conclusions: These data suggest that the Conlon and Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS) surveys are good predictors of acute symptoms induced during a binocular examination and validate the use of chronic symptom surveys as screening tools for symptomatic binocular dysfunction. Further investigation is required to determine predictability of accommodative or vergence performance.

I am glad that you liked the rendition.
It took basically 3 months to do this, although I had started on it 15 years ago :)
About learning this: is not too difficult. Garritan Personal Orchestra 4 is easy to use - the sounds are just embedded as a VST synth within Sonar.
Sonar is a bot more complex. but adding, recording, and editing the MIDI tracks is no big deal. I usually play each track live from the score sheet (so you need to be able to read music and understand the proper transpositions etc.), then I add the "expression" with a wheel after the note recording. Finally at the end I draw the tempo map. Is largely "try and error".

Considering the rate at which his chest hair has spread to engulf most of his face, one must assume that Norris is going to look like a Wookiee by the end of this decade.
Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris hasn't made a movie since 2005's The Cutter, and the world of cinema has been made poorer by his absence. The world of cinema has also been made poorer by 2005's The Cutter, and that's kind of the dichotomy of Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris, a staunch Republican and member of the NRA who actively campaigned for George H.W. Bush and Mike Huckabee, is particularly fond of money.
The above is a shitty fan-made trailer for 1996's The Forest Warrior, a tree-hugging direct-to-video family film which is so embarrassingly liberal that even Steven Seagal would have told the producers to get that hippie bullshit script out of his face before he broke all their wrists and threw them out a window. The best bit is at 1:36, when the evil logging industry villain expresses pure terror by going "Oooooooo!"
Of course, The Forest Warrior isn't the only Chuck Norris movie to play around with political themes. It just happens to be the most recent and the most embarrassing.
Starting in 1984, the Missing In Action movies are more obviously political than any of Norris' other non-logging-industry-based films, the important message here being that it's okay to shamelessly rip off Uncommon Valor (a practice made popular a year later by Rambo: First Blood Part 2). There's also something in there about some American P.O.W.s that are still stuck in Vietnamese prison camps, but the third entry (inventively titled Braddock: Missing In Action Part III) abandons the P.O.W.s altogether, even removing them from the backstory, in favor of promoting the cause of being completely fucking badass.
1985's Invasion U.S.A. tackles topics like race relations, Cuban refugees, and America's misplaced sense of security (a theme which suddenly became very relevant about sixteen years later) in the middle of a story about some kind of multicultural collective of communist terrorists sneaking into Miami to blow up a bunch of random shit. Of course, in your average eighties action picture, you could barely even see the actors over all the piles of dead commies in the way, so the part about communism probably doesn't even count as political.
Similarly, it's hard to call out 1986's The Delta Force as being political for using Muslim terrorists as the villains. After all, "terrorists are bad" isn't exactly the most controversial statement a film can make. However, the movie does seem to display a fairly intense contempt for Islam itself, so maybe that counts.
In 2008, Norris either wrote a book called Blackbelt Patriotism or agreed to let the publisher stick his name on a book penned by some nameless ghostwriter and call it Blackbelt Patriotism. Well, he probably wrote it himself. At any rate, there is a book called Blackbelt Patriotism, and it has a picture of Chuck Norris on the cover. (on Cracked: Chuck Norris Roundhouse Kicks Politics (and Logic) on CNN) The book has been fairly successful. In a search for "Chuck Norris" in the books section of Amazon.com, it comes up as the second result. The first result that comes up is the Chuck Norris Facts book.
In 2005, some guy calling himself Scootsmagoo started a thread for "Facts About Vin Diesel" on the Something Awful message boards. In what was probably a surprising move in the eyes of his contemporaries, Scootsmagoo did not put any actual facts about Vin Diesel in this thread, instead choosing to make several impossible claims about Diesel's sexual prowess and manliness. The idea achieved some popularity, and a Random Vin Diesel Fact Generator was created.
Internet history (such as it is) was made when an enterprising soul decided to go through the Random Vin Diesel Fact Generator and replace the words "Vin Diesel" with the words "Chuck Norris." Cleansed of their association with Vin Diesel, the facts gained even more popularity, and the entire internet proceeded to run the joke into the fucking ground. (on Cracked: The 9 Most Obnoxious Memes to Ever Escape the Web)
When news of the Chuck Norris Facts reached Norris himself, the aging star was more than a little confused by the situation, remarking, "If your soul needs healing, the prescription you need is not Chuck Norris' tears, it's Jesus' blood." We're guessing that he didn't much care for the one that goes, "Jesus can walk on water, but Chuck Norris can walk on Jesus."
In 2007, when a man named Ian Spector decided to publish a book of the Chuck Norris Facts, Norris wanted his cut. Similar thoughts may have occurred to some of the people who actually wrote the damn things, but Chuck was the one with the high-priced lawyers, so Chuck was the one who sued. The headline on Reuters was fucking hilarious.
Technically, Walker, Texas Ranger was really the second Chuck Norris series to hit TV, the first being Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos, a cartoon show to which Norris lent his voice and likeness. There was a comic book and everything.
About seven years after the cancelation of Karate Kommandos (coincidentally, it was also about seven years after the debut of Karate Kommandos), Norris made his triumphant return to the small screen with Walker, Texas Ranger, a popular cop show about a tough Texas Ranger who would track down a new set of criminals every week, kick their asses with his karate, and then fly off on his jet pack.
Okay, we never really watched this show past the first episode, so we don't really know what we're talking about. From what we gather, though, it was pretty fucking weird.
Walker, Texas Ranger is commonly credited with the shift in Norris' reputation from "kick-ass action hero" to "douchebag in a cowboy hat." (on Cracked: 5 Movie Martial Artists That Lost a Deathmatch to Dignity)
In 1997, Chuck Norris starred in his first infomercial for a piece of exercise equipment called the Total Gym. It seems to have worked out quite well for them. Go to the Total Gym website, and you'll see Chuck's face right there on the front page, with some random person's hand awkwardly photoshopped in front of it.
In all fairness, Norris apparently did use the Total Gym for rehabilitation purposes in 1978, and he's probably used it at least a few times since then. Not that this does anything to explain his eagerness to whore himself out for money in really embarrassing ways, unless he hit his head on the fucking thing.

Ex-Morgan Stanley saleswoman joins London hedge fund
New Peak Capital Partners, an event-driven hedge fund manager co-founded by one of Financial News's 2013 Rising Stars, has recruited a former Morgan Stanley saleswoman as head of business development.
Vicky Gardiner joined Piccadilly-based New Peak this week, according to filings at Companies House and the UK's Financial Services Register. New Peak confirmed her hire.
Gardiner spent nearly a decade at Morgan Stanley and was an executive director in equity sales, according to her LinkedIn profile, before leaving the bank earlier this year.
She is the first partner-level recruit to New Peak's ranks since the firm gained regulatory authorisation from the Financial Services Authority in October 2012. Her hire comes just weeks after the firm promoted former Goldman Sachs equity analyst Edouard Baldini, who had been working at New Peak as an analyst, to partner.
New Peak's initial roster of seven partners included co-founder and chief investment officer Massimo Bertoli, a 2013 Hedge Fund Rising Star who also worked at Goldman Sachs before spending nearly a decade at US hedge fund manager Och-Ziff Capital Management, and Stephen Sales, formerly at London manager Marble Bar Asset Management.
Other partners at New Peak — which received seed investment from Goldman Sachs Asset Management — from the outset are Riccardo Lavilla, Lars Grotmol, Antonio Bruno, Rohit Kapur and Dean Gray.

While the Galaxy Note II is among the most powerful smartphone or phablet released today with quad-core processing, 2 GB RAM, ample and expandable storage, 4G LTE support, and a high resolution 720p HD Super AMOLED display, the phone is being quickly outpaced by newer rivals such as the HTC J Butterfly, Verizon's Droid DNA, and the Oppo Find 5, all of which has a 1080p HD LCD panel display that boasts crisp graphics and sharp text. To combat new competition, Samsung is reportedly working on a 1080p phablet-class display with its HD Super AMOLED technology and mass production of the displays will begin in 2013, perhaps in time for Samsung Mobile, the smartphone and tablet computing arm of Samsung, to begin producing a Galaxy Note III smartphone.
It's unclear what underlying sub-pixel arrangement Samsung has going on for the HD Super AMOLED panel with a 1080p resolution. In the past, Samsung had relied on PenTile sub-pixel arrangement to conserve battery, but that led to increased pixelation. With the Galaxy Note II, Samsung had abandoned the PenTile sub-pixel arrangement and the screen is more crisp.
According to ZDNet Korea and Android Authority, it's also been reported that Samsung has been offered to use LCD panels made by LG Display or Japan Display, a consortium that includes LG, in its mobile products. Reportedly, Samsung refused such an offer and is forging its own path with AMOLED display technology. HTC's displays are being made by Sharp.
AMOLED boasts wide viewing angle, great contrast, and deep dark blacks. The downside, however, as noted in our review of the Galaxy S III and the Galaxy Note II, is that the display can also lead to hyper color saturation and over contrasts. The issue really isn't as noticeable as before and Samsung has also included a color utility in its smartphones to allow users to tone down the color saturation and have more realistic colors.
With a 1080p resolution, the HD Super AMOLED display would have a resolution of 1920 X 1080 pixels leading to over 400 ppi.
It's unclear if the high resolution display would lead to a noticeable increase in screen clarity. Typically, a smartphone needs a 300 ppi resolution, which Apple had coined as Retina Display, so that the human eye will not be able to discern between each individual pixel. Anything in excess of this resolution on a smartphone may be wasted.

Alumnus Finds There's No Investment Like Education
James E. Rutrough, Jr. (College '71)
The son of two teachers, James E. Rutrough Jr. grew up in a family that valued education.
"The importance of education was dinner-table conversation every night," Rutrough said. "Appreciating what my own education did for me took longer."
Still, with his background, it's not surprising that his volunteerism and charitable giving have been directed toward educational causes, an extension of the values instilled in Rutrough by his parents, Nelva H. and James E. Rutrough Sr. (Curry '68).
"Everything I do, whether volunteering or providing financial support, has some tie back to education, one way or another,"says Rutrough. "There's more leverage in the dollar you give to education because it offers a larger long-term return."
As an English major at the University, Rutrough remembers classes taught by the late Douglas Day, Clifton Waller Barrett Professor of English and director of the Creative Writing Program, and the late President Emeritus Edgar Shannon. "They stood out in their field and knew their subject," he said. "They were entertaining and engaging."
After graduating, a bad knee prevented him from joining the military, so the Radford, Va., native accepted a position with the State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. Rutrough found State Farm a good fit both for the company's approach to business and for its approach to philanthropy, which focused on national and international educational initiatives. In particular, the company encouraged Rutrough to become involved with Junior Achievement USA, an organization that educates young people about the business world—involvement that continues to this day.
Rutrough maintained a lifelong connection to UVA, but increased his level of involvement last year, when he retired to Charlottesville and left Midwestern winters behind, after 40 years with State Farm. He now serves on four UVA-affiliated boards and in the spring of 2011 finished funding the James E. Rutrough, Jr., Jefferson Scholarship. The full, four-year scholarship was awarded for the first time last fall to Amir Jalal Tabaian (Engr '15), a first-year student from Forest, Va.
Rutrough also has named the Virginia Athletics Foundation a beneficiary of his 401(k) retirement plan. With six grandchildren, including a granddaughter who is playing Olympic Development Program soccer, Rutrough believes in the importance of healthy minds in healthy bodies. "Student athletics are an important part of what UVA does," he said.
What is his hope for the University? That it surpasses Mr. Jefferson's vision of academic excellence, not only for its students but for society as a whole.

Mid May Trip
After several trips to the Smokies with no luck--well, *one* "luck":
(and this guy was complete luck-- I had my rod between my knees with the nymph flailing in the current downstream as I sipped some tea), my "luck" finally improved. I caught my first brookie (he wanted that stimulator, too):
and released him (he hung out right by my feet for a few minutes and then swam off):
My first brookie also became my first grand slam (no more pics-- my camera ended up in the water right where the brookie was. I *meant* to put it back in the case...).
So, when one of my friends called me yesterday and asked if I was interested in going back, I told him I could be there in just over 12 hours. We decided two weeks from now would be more realistic-- and are thinking about going back to one of the Fontana streams. Anyone have any recent reports for this area, or any insights as to a specific stream this time of year? I'm kind of partial to Eagle; but have only been to Forney once-- and have never been to Hazel or Noland. How crowded would Hazel be this time of year? It would be on a weekend.
We are still pretty open at this point; so if anyone has some ideas or even different suggestions, please let me know. Thanks...

I will bet the farm that Hazel Creek will be packed. I'd look at one of the others.
jasonkelkins at yahoo dot com
Crockett & Mundele are up at Noland camping right now, they might be able to give some insight.
While I barely know the streams out of Fontana, I would follow GM77 advice about skipping Hazel if you want some solitude.
I did lower Forney and it wasn't great. Could have been the high water that day, but I think locals boating in give the lower portion of the stream alot of fishing pressure. I think, except for Hazel, finding a campsite out of range of "car campers" in boats, several miles upstream will lead to a great trip. Again, my knowlegde of this side of the park is pretty limited, and others may be able to give you better info, but since your responses to this post were few, I thought I would throw in what little I know
Yeah, I kind of thought that Hazel would be pretty crowded this time of year. On my one trip to Forney, the fishing was pretty slow; but it was cold and even dumped some snow on us-- so I was planning on blaming that one on the weather. My first (and most successful) fishing trip to the Park was in May at Eagle; so CS89 is definitely something we're considering. But, I'm a little concerned about those crossings as we (potentially) have some youngsters going with us. I never hear anything about Noland and just figured that the easier access afforded by the road would mean more crowds.
I've never been to Raven Fork either; and am interested in checking it out for the seclusion and scenic factors-- am I correct in assuming that this would be a good time of year for fishing there? (Am willing to trade a water-logged Nikon for someone to carry a pack up the Hyatt Ridge Trail...)
"Many men go fishing all of their lives without realizing it is not fish they are after." -- Henry David Thoreau
I was supposed to camp at 47 last night, but got no sleep the night before, and that with my bad acid reflux caused me to start getting sick. I had my friend (maintains 47 for the park) drop me off at Oconaluftee, and called my wife to come & pick me up. My buddy then took my car and should be back in a few hours. When I get it back, I'll find out how the fishing was.
While waiting the 3 hours for my wife to show up, I fished behind the visitor center for an hour. One bump, one strike, no fish. Water was shallow & wide making it almost impossible not to spook them. I'll be sticking with the smaller streams. I did run into Crockett & Mundele and their kids heading to Noland.
It was also the first look of low water atop the park. The leaves are out and the water levels are dropping.
I just can't seem to get to Raven Fork this year. I have tried 4 times already and haven't pulled it off yet I guess I'll just keep trying
Bummer dp! Hopefully some rest and some Tagamet will have you back in fishing form.
I'm certainly interested in hearing a bit more about how Raven and/or Noland is fishing. Do you like upstream or downstream from CS47 on Raven or the trailside section of Enloe Creek? All I ever hear is how rugged it is back there; but I don't really know any fishing specifics. I would think anyone going for the Little Niagara area would start from McGee Spring.
Thanks for the note about the water levels. I'd say Eagle is still a good possibility for our trip. The last time I was there, the water was quite deep and swift on all of those fords.
"Many men go fishing all of their lives without realizing it is not fish they are after." -- Henry David Thoreau
Fishing was great. Nymphs in the morning & dries in the afternoon. He said he even lost a huge trophy one than swam 40 feet and made good use of a log to get free
I thought it was ambitious to even get on the Left Fork. Little Niagra? I hope you know what you would be getting into. Maybe if you got to 3 forks really early, or just camped somewhere up Left Fork. I have only heard of 3 people ever being there, and all of them were "hardcore" to say the least. I'm sure it would be paradise though. I may just be stupid enough to follow you
If you want to fish downstream of 47 my advice would be to walk down Enloe streambed, then fish up to 47. There are a few trails down from the campsite, but they end pretty quickly and several of the rapids are really hard to get upstream, and would be extremely sketchy to hike down without ropes & gear, or a tangle with some REALLY bad Rhodo Below that it's best to access from the reservation, which unless you know a landowner, is not the best idea as you will have walk past "tribal water" with fishing gear that could be confiscated and I'm sure they would fine you heftily.
BTW my buddy fished all day yesterday and only made it about a mile above the campsite, and he is at the peak of fitness
Mundele and I did run into Duckypaddler at the Oconoluftee visitor center. DP was in camo over by the river when we came up. Noland was a fun trip but the fishing was a bit slow Mundele caught 3 or 4 small bows and I got skunked although I didn't fish very much. We ran into another LRO forum member just down from cs 65 Owl Jones. He was a nice guy out fishing with a few others. cs 65 had picnic tables which was real nice and we had a fire and cooked hot dogs. Had something that sounded big scooting around in the woods above us for a couple of hours so that was exciting.
Adam Beal
Hey Jack (JAB)...
Thanks dp, I'm learning some new specifics already. I thought that Three Forks was the same area as the confluence of Little Niagara and Raven Fork. From looking at the map and hearing about how rugged it is back there, I often wondered how people made it up that far. So, where is the Three Forks area? I don't think we're going to make it to Raven Fork this trip-- my friends are leaning towards Eagle or Forney-- but it would be nice to know for future reference.
Thanks for the report on Noland, Crockett. If we go to Forney, I will probably have a morning to fish Noland while I wait on my friends to arrive. I think they are leaning towards Forney, while I'm probably leaning towards Eagle. Eagle just seemed a little bigger and easier to fish to me. I'm not sure which one would be the most crowded this time of year.
There's nothing like something big sounding trampling around in the woods at night to get the adrenaline flowing. Do you think it could have been a hog? I've had several encounters with them lately-- both in the Smokies and closer to my neck of the woods.

By Ryn Gargulinski: QCS
Tucumcari High School students who engage in school-sponsored extracurricular activities just got a new item on their agenda —random drug testing.
The school's Drug Use in School Activities policy has been updated, revised and presented at a recent school board meeting.
In addition to athletes, drug testing will now apply to all eighth- through 12th-graders who participate in any extracurricular activity. Starting in the spring semester, students and parents will be required to sign a consent form before the student is allowed to participate in such activities.
These include school-sponsored activities with the student newspaper, yearbook, drama, music, student government, honor societies, clubs and similar organizations, the policy states.
Another drug was also added to the policy's forbidden list — anabolic steroids, sometimes used by athletes to increase muscle size.
"This random drug testing is not a punitive disciplinary action," the policy said, but rather is designed to help the school "to create a safe, drug-free environment for students and to assist students in getting help when needed."
Those who test positive will not be expelled, suspended or automatically flunked, the policy said, but will be wrenched from the activity or activities in which they participate, since "Participation in a school-sponsored extracurricular activity is a privilege, not a right."
The amount of time out from an activity varies on how many offenses the student has, with the most stringent up to the remainder of the school year or even carrying into the next school year if sufficient time has not been served.
Given once every 45 calendar days, the policy said the testing dates will not be announced; any student in extracurricular activities is automatically included in the pool as are students who provide reasonable suspicion of being under the influence. The school will pay for the initial testing, an $86 price tag per test Tucumcari Police Chief Larry Hamm said was not much considering the cost of a life ruined.
If a student is a repeat offender, the parents or guardian will be responsible for footing the bill, the policy said.
"Refusal to do so will result in that student being suspended from all activities for the remainder of the year," according to the policy.
In addition, "counseling and treatment by non-school counseling or assistance agencies are elective and shall be paid for by the student or the student's parent or guardian."
School officials said drug- and alcohol-related incidents have been on the rise in activity groups, with 24 suspensions in the last three years and dozens of investigations on top of that.
Not a single board member disagreed with the revisions, which had been discussed at length and even included an open form for parents late last year.
Martha Frost contributed to this report.
What constitutes drugs:
• All controlled substances prohibited by law.
• All alcoholic beverages.
• Any prescription or over-the-counter drug, except those for which permission to use in school has been granted pursuant to board policy.
• Hallucinogenic substances.
• Inhalants.
• Anabolic steroids.

2. Right.
3. Is the random variable number of scratches greater then 3mm on the back of a computer monitor?
4. The number of yellow fish follows a Hypergeometric distribution.
5. X ~ Binomial(n = 455, p = 0.6).
6. Not sure at the moment.
7. Number of attempts until a strike follows a geometric distribution.
