Not too long ago I received this letter from 12 year old Zach; who I met on Necker over dinner. I had a great time chatting with Zach and his family, and was thrilled to discover he'd followed up on our conversation.
From the young man you sat across from at dinner.
Hello Mr Branson,
I was just writing you this letter because last night I didn't really get to talk to you about some of the other things I wanted to. I would like to start off by saying thank you for joining us at dinner, I had a wonderful time and my sister did too, even though she wouldn't admit it – haha. None the less thank you for letting me and my family stay here. I feel like the least I could is say that on behalf of everyone. So some of the things I wanted to talk to you about I feel like are some things that I feel like nobody really thinks to ask you about. Or maybe they do, I don't know.
The first question I have is what do you think of my generation? Honestly, I feel like most of the kids in my generation aren't going to contribute to society much. Believe it or not, it's a trend now to be dumb. I just think it's sad that these kids who are suppose to lead the world are just wasting themselves and making the load heavier for the rest of us.
My second question is what do you think of pop music from today's artists? I'm REALLY not a fan of it. It's just so bland, it's not really creative and it almost has this weird folky undertones. Personal I'm a fan of metal that could scare the devil himself. Haha. That's another thing I don't like about today's pop culture. If you have any originality at all, or like anything that strays from pop culture, it makes you a freak of nature to everyone else! Isn't it strange that in a liberation age, people are still scared of being original because they'll become a social activist.
I was wondering how people treat you usually, like do they treat you like a normal person or like a billionaire? I think I could figure it out but I just wondered because if I gain the wealth and fame that you have, some day, I wouldn't want the royal treatment. I'd just want to be able to just carry a conversation like you and me did – I know at this point that it probably sounds contradictory, since I've written such a long letter. Haha. I guess I'd want people to see me as me, and not my earnings, as few of the people in my party have to you.
I think my last question is do you have any huge regrets? I know for me that for a large portion of my life I was very shy and introverted and I still some what am. I came to the realisation through that I should take nothing for granted because I'm only going to live once. I want to make a mark while I still can like you have. I think it's awesome all the stuff you do to help the world. I hope when I grow up I can help the world like you have. Who knows, maybe you'll save the world before I can. Haha. Anyways, once again thank you for letting us come to your island and who knows, maybe one day you'll visit my island. I don't expect you to write back, these are just some of thoughts I wanted to share with you. I hope you liked my letter and hope we have the pleasure of talking or even working together someday.
Dear Zach
Thank you for your letter – I loved reading it, and was very interested in what you had to say. You're a clever young man, with a bright future ahead of you. Your questions really got me thinking…
While I understand your concern about your generation, it's important to look further than your immediate surroundings to discover the amazing things that millennials are doing for the world. Over the past year I have met so many inspiring young people and written a number of blogs focusing on the wonderful work they are doing. And with forums like TEDxTeen connecting up these incredible youths, I'm happy to say that the future is in safe hands. Don't be concerned about the perceived laziness of others, instead focus your energy on thinking up ways you can shine, and in turn become a leader who inspires others.
On the subject of today's music, while it's not all to my taste, as you get older you begin to accept that things change – and that change moves the world forward. From Mike Oldfield to Peter Gabriel, the true innovators will always shine through. It may no longer be the good old days of rock n roll; however current musicians are doing some outrageously exciting things. Plus, thanks to the internet and music streaming, unsigned artists – who in the past may never have found their voice – are fast growing strong followings based purely off their musical merit. That's a great thing! Pop may not be to your taste, but there are plenty of metal fans out there, and as you grow older you'll find a community of people who share your passion.
I would like to think people treat me like anybody else – I certainly try to treat everybody the same whether they are the Queen or a kid I meet in the street. Having said that, I made a conscious choice to make myself the face of Virgin, after my mentor Sir Freddie Laker told me that the only way to get ahead was to be visible. That piece of advice not only influenced my entire approach to business, but also changed my life. There are obvious downsides to being well known, but there are also a huge amount of positives. I have been privileged to meet and work with so many incredibly inspiring individuals; and have been able to lend my voice to an array of great causes and initiatives – spanning climate change, conflict resolution, conservation, and human rights. I believe that those lucky enough to be granted the spotlight should use their public profile as a force for good. If you follow you heart and are strong in your conviction, people will listen to your voice, not just your money.
There aren't many things I would have done differently; I don't like to focus on them with regret. I would rather look back on life and say 'I can't believe I did that' than 'I wish I'd did that'.
Zach, life is yours for the taking, so go out there and grab it with both hands. You are very much an old soul, and very mature for your age, which is brilliant. However, I would add that being young is magical, and you should make sure you take time to play, laugh, make mistakes and make merry, as well as focusing on more serious issues. Thanks for a wonderful dinner; I look forward to receiving my invite to your island one day.

Hey, guys! I had begun posting this up on Deviantart, so I thought I may as well post it up here too. Updates on this may be more frequent on DA, so you can check my DA account if you want. The link is in my profile.
Anyway, this is just something that popped into my head one day. At first it was only of an Espeon telling of her days as an Exploration Team leader but, after a lot of prodding from friends and such, I decided to write a whole story of her adventures. Yes, I've added plenty of my own events in addition to the storyline events (just like I did in PMD2: Explorations of Time and Darkness). In the future, I may allow OC admissions for recruits into Team Legend but not right now.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2. Nintendo does. The other Exploration Team appearing in this story also does not belong to me. They were placed in a review to my other story and have been used little to not at all. Team Yami-Hikari belongs to . All other characters belong to me.
Extra info: /hi/=Sandra narrating, hi=thoughts or flashbacks, "hi"=talking
PMD2: Explorers of Fate
The sun began to rise, revealing a small town placed at the edge of a forest near the sea. The salty water reflected the sunlight, causing it to sparkle brightly. Pokemon started wandering through the town, going about their usual day-to-day activities.
A purple feline with a red jewel on her forehead stepped out of a Pikachu head-shaped hut, stretching and yawning. Walking through the town square, she stopped near the edge of the ocean and smiled.
/Hey there! Today's a nice day, isn't it? Kind of reminds me of that day so long ago…when I first met Carlos. Oh! You must be wondering who I am. Sorry for being so rude. My name is Sandra./
A Blastoise came to shore and Sandra hopped onto its shell. The turtle Pokemon started swimming out to open sea. Sandra stood up tall, her violet eyes shimmering with joy.
/As I'm sure you can tell, I'm an Espeon. But here's something I bet you don't know. I'm actually the leader of a famous Exploration Team! …Okay, so I'm only the co-leader but who cares?/
Up ahead, Sandra could see another land mass appearing. A town was barely visible on the far shore, only recognizable by the bluff shaped like a Sharpedo.
/I used to be a coward, afraid of nearly everything. But Carlos changed that. He gave me the courage to form an Exploration Team, my ultimate dream. One by one, my fears faded into nothing. Even my worst fear was conquered thanks to him./
A memory appeared, the edges blackened by age. An Eevee was sinking in the water, paralyzed by fear. Air bubbles ran from her nose and mouth, her eyes wide in terror. The bubbles shot toward the surface as a shadow, shaped like a Pikachu, peered into the water.
/That fear prevented me from doing a lot of things. But now that it's gone, it seems like nothing can stop me. My fears no longer put me against the world. Carlos freed me./
The Blastoise stopped in the shallows of the far shore, allowing Sandra to hop off. The Espeon walked through the shallows and onto the sandy beach, shaking her paws dry. Looking up, she saw a young Riolu and an old Lucario waiting for her. The Riolu ran toward her and smiled, laughing as she hugged Sandra. The Lucario nodded in greeting, his eyes firmly shut.
/These two are members of my Exploration Team. No, Carlos isn't one of these two. He left a long time ago… Anyway, the Riolu is Auraline. She hatched not long after Carlos left. The Lucario is her father and Carlos' best friend, Lucar. He's blind but he's powerful./
As the trio proceeded up the path toward town, something leaped from the trees and landed in front of them. Standing up, he revealed himself as a Grovyle. He nodded to Sandra and joined them as they entered the town.
/This is Grovyle, a fellow member of my Exploration Team. He had an especially strong bond with Carlos and knew him long before I did. Grovyle was once our enemy, but now he's a close friend of mine and one of the strongest members on my team./
Entering the town, Sandra left her companions and headed toward the bluff. Stepping onto the familiar cliff, she pulled aside the leaves and went down the hole leading to their old base. Stepping into the hollowed-out base, she watched the ocean from between the stone teeth of Sharpedo Bluff.
/And this is Sharpedo Bluff, where Carlos and I made our Exploration Team the best. I could've never made it this far without him. I'll never forget him./
Another memory appeared, the edges also blackened. A Pikachu stood in the center of a lava-filled cavern, surrounded by golden light. He was fading. Sandra cried, tears pouring down her face. She was losing him…again! "Carlos!"
The Pikachu turned to her and smiled. "Bye, Sandra. I love you."
"Carlos!" The Espeon jumped, landing at the center of the light. But she was too late. Carlos was reduced to dozens of tiny golden spheres of light, all floating toward the ceiling and vanishing. He was gone.
/The moment Carlos left, Grovyle returned. It was so sad. Without Carlos, the two of us grew a bit closer. But it would never be the same without Carlos. I miss him./
Sandra suddenly smiled, tears in her eyes.
/I could tell you about it. How Carlos and I first met, all the adventures we had, the friends and enemies we made, how we saved the world twice. Do you want to hear it? It all began last year, at this very beach below me…/

What if the coaches have to honor their contracts as well as the universities? If coaches leave early, have them sit out a year or go to FCS which is the same as players. If a university signs a coach to a 4 year contract they have to honor that. If the university chooses to fire a coach prior to the 4 year contract then they risk the recruits under that coach leaving with no penalty.
All held accountable and the players know what to expect from their coaches.

My fiance and I have been together for 3 1/2 years and a year and a half of on again off again before that because he wasn't ready for another relationship. Last year we bought a house together and got engaged this past Christmas and are in the wedding stage process.
Now, I've know from the start about one of his old friends who at one point was his "sex buddy" when they were both single. It has also come up that during our year and a half of on again off again, when we were still sleeping together, we was also having sex with her. I know he doesn't see or talk to her often and I know that during our 3 1/2 years there were times when she wanted to hang out with him, but when finding out he was bringing me along, she would cancel. We all actually just hung out over the holidays when a good friend of his was visiting from Florida and everything seemed to be fine. I know that he doesn't really talk to her often and that she usually sends him stupid forward emails, a recent one about if "I need you would you..." Well, I also noticed that he responding with "But remember love is like the wind you can't see it, but you can feel it" something he has also said to me numerous times. When I saw this, I was on his email account checking for wedding stuff, but I don't want to confront him because I don't want him to think I was "snooping." Am I worrying about this for nothing?
Most Helpful Girl
This in my opinion is definitely not "nothing" especially if you are planning to spend the rest of your lives together. The only advice I have is to talk to your fiance about this. Can you really get married with this weighing on your mind? I am friends with an ex sex buddy but I would never try to come in between him and his new girlfriend! Sex is sex but love is a whole another story. You owe it to yourself and him to get your feelings in the open, otherwise you will enter a marriage with unneeded baggage and that is definitely not the way to start your lives together!11|00|0

Last Updated Jun 2, 2011 3:42 PM EDT
Adobe should be concerned about Windows 8 because it focuses on the fastest growing computer platform: tablets. Here are some of the details from yesterday's preview (see video below):
- Tile-based icons, a la Windows Phone 7
- "Snap" multitasking allows a picture-in-picture-inspired experience
- "Thumbs" layout splits the keyboard between both sides of the tablet for easy typing
- Driven by HTML 5 and a bit of JavaScript
Steve Jobs has already banished Flash from his Apple iOS kingdom. Microsoft is slowly but surely getting onto tablets, leaning heavily on HTML 5. At this point, the only major tablet player supporting Flash is Google (GOOG), and Android's support of Flash is looking dubious, too.
As far as frenemy Microsoft bypassing Adobe, the writing has been on the wall. Back in Spring 2010, my BNET colleague Erik Sherman talked about Apple and, more covertly, Microsoft conspiring to kill Flash:
Adobe (ADBE) Flash has historically been a major choice for delivering video. However, Flash depends on browser plug-ins and so leaves control in Adobe's hands. This explains much of Apple's antagonism to the company, supposed technical concerns aside. Apple's business strategy demands control over all parts of a product ecosystem, whether hardware design, third party software availability, or content.
Flash delivers one aspect of video technology. HTML 5 will likely supplant it over time. However, there is another vital aspect of video delivery: how sites and browsers compress and uncompress it. Both Apple and Microsoft are pushing a video compression standard called H.264.
It is now obvious that Microsoft was intending to become less Flash dependent all along. Where does this leave Adobe? It should push hard to get Flash onto the dozens of Android tablets. At this point, only a few have Flash support. Connecting with Google's mobile devices is the only way Flash will have relevance in the near future.

Wolfman and Lock
The philosophizers/scientificists behind the Dot Space Theory. Whilst amusing themselves with Biotech experiments, Physics labs, and general philosophy, they came upon the theory. Wolfman originally thought Dot Space meant something else, but Lock soon righted him. Some days after the theory was discovered, a Mr. Saw made an attempt to foil the spread of the theory. In order to save their mindchild, Wolfman and Lock engaged in a very violent duel of wits, finally beating Mr. Saw with the question, "well, then where did that come from, did it 'just appear'". Mr. Saw backed down, realizing he was beaten, and though he did not agree to the validity of the Dot Space theory, he accepted that it was too logical to argue with. Thus, the Dot Space theory survived its first attack, and will soon move on to dominate existential philosophy for all time to come.

Unlike many law firms that hold themselves out as "environmental litigators," we actually try cases. Our clients and opposing parties know that if matters cannot be resolved sensibly, we are able try the dispute in court before a judge or jury. Our willingness and ability to go to the mat if needed gets results for our clients.
Experience that runs the gamut.
Our environmental lawyers have litigated cases in federal and state courts across the United States involving Mafia-run Superfund sites, cargo barges that sank in Great Lakes' storms, covert disposal of dry cleaning wastes that contaminated groundwater for the next 500 years, sewage pipes that released such significant amounts of nitrogen and phosphorous that they caused the growth of the largest algae known on the planet, punctures in chemical liners that released millions of gallons of toxins into the desert sands of New Mexico, exposure of people and animals to cancer causing contaminants, the closure of the most famous skeet shooting club in the nation as the result of the discharge of millions of tons of lead and clay pigeons into Long Island Sound, midnight dumping of thousands of drums of toxins at a rural pig farm in Rhode Island, million dollar shipping cranes destroyed by hurricanes in Puerto Rico and the cleanup of a Superfund site buried under 38 million tires.
In nearly all of the environmental litigation matters we have handled, we have also pursued insurance benefits for our policyholder clients, recovering tens of millions of dollars.

If anybody's checked out the Brawl update today, you would know that a new character's made his arrival and his name is King Dedede. For anybody who has no idea who he is (like me), just like the title suggests, he's the king of Dreamland and is sometimes an asshole. With him, Kirby and Meta Knight on here, it'll be a tragedy if Ganondorf doesn't make his return.
So what do I think about King Dedede making his appearance on Brawl? I personally don't care because I've never played a Kirby game a day in my life. I have no idea if any of these characters talk or not, so forgive me for not interviewing them.
Hold on I have to take this call.
What's up?.....What?! Are you fucking kidding me! I was supposed to interview Sonic next and he's gonna interrupt it just so that I can interview him? Who the fuck does he think he is?!.....Well so fucking what that he's a king?! It doesn't mean that he should do whatever he wants despite the fact that he's not a part of our world!.....Fine! Bring him over!
Ladies and gentlemen, the interview with King Dedede. Sorry Sonic fans.
Well ladies and gentlemen, another character?s been introduced to Brawl and his name?s King Dedede. In case some of you don?t know (I didn?t), King Dedede is an asshole character off of Kirby?s games. He has places all around the world and is the self-proclaimed King of Dreamland. He likes to steal from people in Dreamland and for no apparent reason other than his self-pride build a castle or something above Fountain of Dreams (which has a very lovely melody on Melee by the way) and have people have dreamless sleeps. I hadn?t dreamt of something while I was sleeping in a long time. Originally, I was supposed to interview Sonic next, but this guy demanded that I?d interview him now. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for King Dedede!
Hey! I?m the king here! Show me some respect! Quack!
Okay people, just quiet down the boos. We don?t want this interview to end so short without me getting a question acrossed.
Much better. Sorry about that Dedede. There?s some Kirby fans in the crowd.
That?s King Dedede to you! Do you see this crown on my head? Treat me with some respect or you?ll become my dinner!
I don?t think I could fit in your stomach since I?m over 5 feet tall and you?re only 2 feet tall.
I don?t care. I?ve eaten bigger people than you before. Don?t believe me, ask Kirby. Oh that?s right: Kirby doesn?t speak your language, so you can?t!
I thought I was over with Fox. Anyway, onto the questions on why you?re here. It?s been announced earlier today that you?re the next confirmed character for Smash Bros. Brawl. It says here on this sheet that you was supposed to be in the original Smash Bros. game, but had to be cut due to time restraints. How did that make you feel once you realized you didn?t make the cut?
Quack! They didn?t cut me; I rejected them. Me having the opportunity to face Kirby in different worlds was a waste to me. What am I gonna get out of fighting Kirby once again? Nothing, so I rejected Nintendo?s offer. They tried to offer me the position again, but I rejected them again because I?m too good to fight all those losers on Melee. Then without my permission, they made a trophy of me and made it hard for people like me to get it. I want my trophy dammit and my trophy should be the first one that everybody should unlock. Why? Because I?m the king bitch!
So what convinced you to accept Nintendo?s third invitation?
Two things: the people outside this country voted for me to be in this tournament and the fact that Meta Knight?s there. He?s beaten me before and I want to settle the score with my baby right here.

Formed in Orange County, California, USA by Scott Hill (vocals/guitar), Ruben Romano (drums), Brad Davis (bass) and Eddie Glass (lead guitar). Their debut EP was released in 1990, establishing their headily psychedelic, groove-orientated approach. While many compared them to Kyuss, Fu Manchu preferred to make cryptic references to pharmaceuticals and produce cover images that tied them to older generations of rock bands. In Search Of... , for example, featured a woman in flares preparing to start an illegal drag race, while the albums title derived from a lacklustre science-fiction programme of the 70s. Suitably, Hill has never spent much time perfecting his lyrics, instead using his voice as a fifth instrument to complement the bands dense, rhythmic passages. Glass and Romano both left in October 1996, later resurfacing in Nebula. They were replaced by Brant Bjork (ex-Kyuss) and Bob Balch, respectively. Fu Manchus subsequent releases, 1997s...

In the various roles he has undertaken through the years, Val J. Halamandaris has been a singular driving force behind the policy and program initiatives resulting in the recognition of home health care as a viable alternative to institutionalization. His dedication to consumer advocacy, which enhances the quality of life and dignity of those receiving home health care, merits VNA HealthCare Group's highest recognition and deepest respect.
- VNA HealthCare Group
I have the highest respect for them, especially for the nurses, aides and therapists, who devote their lives to caring for people with disabilities, the infirm and dying Americans. There are few more noble professions.
- President Barack Obama
Home health care agencies do such a wonderful job in this country helping people to be able to remain at home and allowing them to receive services
- U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Chair, Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee
Home care is a combination of compassion and efficiency. It is less expensive than institutional care...but at the same time it is a more caring, human, intimate experience, and therefore it has a greater human element...it's a big mistake not to try to maximize it and find ways to give people the home care option over either nursing homes, hospitals or other institutions
- Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich (R-GA)
Medicaid covers long-term care, but only for low-income families. And Medicare only pays for care that is connected to a hospital discharge....our health care system must cover these vital services...[and] we should promote home-based care, which most people prefer, instead of the institutional care that we emphasize now.
- Former U.S. Senator Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-CD)
We need incentives to...keep people in home health care settings...It's dramatically less expensive than long term care.
- U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ)
Home care is clearly the wave of the future. It's clearly where patients want to be cared for. I come from an ethnic family and when a member of our family is severely ill, we would never consider taking them to get institutional care. That's true of many families for both cultural and financial reasons. If patients have a choice of where they want to be cared for, where it's done the right way, they choose home.
- Donna Shalala, former Secretary of Health and Human Services
A couple of years ago, I spent a little bit of time with the National Association for Home Care & Hospice and its president, Val J. Halamandaris, and I was just blown away. What impressed me so much was that they talked about what they do as opposed to just the strategies of how to deal with Washington or Sacramento or Albany or whatever the case may be. Val is a fanatic about care, and it comes through in every way known to mankind. It comes through in the speakers he invites to their events; it comes through in all the stuff he shares.
- Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence
Val's home care organization brings thousands of caregivers together into a dynamic organization that provides them with valuable resources and tools to be even better in their important work. He helps them build self-esteem, which leads to self-motivation.
- Mike Vance, former Dean of Disney and author of Think Out of the Box
Val is one of the greatest advocates for seniors in America. He goes beyond the call of duty every time.
- Arthur S. Flemming, former Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
Val has brought the problems, the challenges, and the opportunities out in the open for everyone to look at. He is a visionary pointing the direction for us.
- Margaret (Peg) Cushman, Professor of Nursing and former President of the Visiting Nurses Association
Although Val has chosen to stay in the background, he deserves much of the credit for what was accomplished both at the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging, where he was closely associated with me and at the House Select Committee on Aging, where he was Congressman Claude Pepper's senior counsel and closest advisor. He put together more hearings on the subject of aging, wrote more reports, drafted more bills, and had more influence on the direction of events than anyone before him or since.
- Frank E. Moss, former U.S. Senator
Val's most important contribution is pulling together all elements of home health care and being able to organize and energize the people involved in the industry.
Anyone working on health care issues in Congress knows the name Val J. Halamandaris.
- Kathleen Gardner Cravedi, former Staff Director of the House Select Committee on Aging
Without your untiring support and active participation, the voices of people advocating meaningful and compassionate health care reform may not have been heard by national leaders.
- Michael Sullivan, Former Executive Director, Indiana Association for Home Care
All of us have been members of many organizations and NAHC is simply the best there is. NAHC aspires to excellence in every respect; its staff has been repeatedly honored as the best in Washington; the organization lives by the highest values and has demonstrated a passionate interest in the well-being of patients and providers.
- Elaine Stephens, Director of Home Care of Steward Home Care/Steward Health Systems and former NAHC C
Home care increasingly is one of the basic building blocks in the developing system of long-term care. On both economic and recuperative bases, home health care will continue to grow as an essential service for individuals, for families and for the community as a whole.
- Former U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
NCOA is excited to be part of this great event and honored to have such influential award winners in the field of aging.
- National Council of Aging
Health care at home…is something we need more of, not less of. Let us make a commitment to preventive and long-term care. Let us encourage home care as an alternative to nursing homes and give folks a little help to have their parents there.
- Former President Bill Clinton
The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) is currently prosecuting two lawsuits in federal court on behalf of the home care community. In one case, NAHC continues to challenge the Medicare rule that required physicians to compose a "narrative" following the physician's face-to-face encounter with the home health patient. While Medicare dropped the requirement following the filing of the lawsuit, NAHC continues to litigate the case as a potential remedy for the tens of thousands of claim denials already imposed in home health agencies and the risk of future claim audits.
In the second lawsuit, NAHC is challenging new US Department of Labor (DoL) rules that essentially eliminate any use of the "companionship services" and "live-in domestic services" exemptions from overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
NAHC v. Burwell: This case is in the middle of briefing by the parties. The Department of Justice, on behalf on the Medicare program, recently filed its Motion for Summary Judgment and supporting Memorandum. NAHC's cross-motion and brief are due on May 7.
Medicare's brief argues that it has the authority to require a physician narrative under the law passed by Congress in 2010 as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Its position is that the ACA provision does not prohibit the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) from requiring that the physician, who certifies the Medicare patient eligibility for coverage, support that certification with a narrative explaining what specifically in the face-to-face encounter demonstrates that the patient is homebound and in need of skilled care. The crux of that argument is that the word "document" in the ACA language permits CMS to define the standard of necessary documentation. With that authority in the law, CMS argues it was within its power to require that a narrative be part of that documentation.
In litigation involving challenges to the validity of a regulation, courts review the case using standards set by the US Supreme Court that apply a two-part test. First, is the regulation in conflict with the plain language of the law? If it is not, the second part of the test is whether the interpretation by the federal agency is wholly unreasonable, rising to the level of being an arbitrary and capricious interpretation of the law. In the second test, the federal agency's interpretation is given deference by the courts as the federal agency, rather than the court, is considered to be the expert in the laws under its purview.
CMS argues in its brief that the plain language of the law does not prohibit its interpretation on what is required documentation. Further, CMS argues that its interpretation is reasonable because it helps validate the bona fides of the physician's certification of the patient.
The NAHC responsive brief is under development. It will argue that the plain language of the ACA limits CMS to requiring only that the physician document that the encounter occurred, thereby prohibiting a narrative requirement. NAHC will also argue that the narrative requirement is arbitrary and capricious as the standards for compliance are at best vague and the narrative requirement results in the irrational outcome of patients who are clearly homebound and in need of skilled care being denied coverage without a full record review.
Briefing in NAHC v. Burwell continues through July 24.
HCOA, IFA, and NAHC v. Weil and Perez: In this challenge to DoL's new rules on overtime compensation for home care aides, the US District Court ruled in NAHC's favor and invalidated the DoL rules redefining the application of the "companionship services" and "live-in domestic services" exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The case is presently before the US Court of Appeal for the District of Columbia.
All briefs have been filed in this case and oral argument before a three-judge panel is set for May 7. DoL argues that the case is controlled by an earlier ruling of the Supreme Court in Coke v. Long Island Care at Home. In Coke, the Court held that DoL had the authority to include third-party employers (home care agencies) under the "companionship services" exemption. DoL argues that the Coke decision means that DoL has the discretionary authority to apply or not apply the exemption to third-party employed home care aides.
NAHC argues in its brief that the District Court was correct in concluding that the Coke decision is not controlling as the Supreme Court was not addressing the same issues now presented. NAHC argues that the plain language of the FLSA requires the exemptions to apply to any employee engaged in companionship services or live-in domestic services. Further, NAHC argues that the redefinition of "companionship services" is beyond DoL's authority as that redefinition effectively eliminates "care" from the employee's function in the application of the exemption.
One interesting development in the case is the nature and volume of "friend of the court" briefs filed. DoL has on its side an assortment of unions, states, Members of Congress, and consumer organizations. On NAHC's side, there are Members of Congress, disability rights groups, and state Medicaid programs. Most notably, the Members of Congress include Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, several Senate Committee chairs including Lamar Alexander who heads up the committee with jurisdiction over the FLSA, and Tim Wahlberg, the Chair of the Workforce Protection Subcommittee of the House Education and the Workforce Committee.
The Medicaid programs argue to the court that they cannot be forced to cover the unfunded costs of overtime compensation. At the same time, the disability rights groups argue that Medicare will not raise reimbursement rates and instead force restrictions on working hours of home care aides to the detriment of people with disabilities.
Litigation is always a last resort for NAHC. However, NAHC will always fight every reasonable fight on behalf of the home care community. These lawsuits are more than reasonable. Please stay tuned to NAHC Report for future updates on these lawsuits.

Caramanico Maguire Associates
The Leaders in Training the Optimal Salesperson, and the Managers Who Need Them!
Readers, two weeks ago we touched upon a subject that seemed to have everyone nodding their heads, as if being told a secret that they already knew somewhere deep inside their minds. The subject we spoke about was Self-Limiting Beliefs. How a person, even if they are the perfect salesperson who knows their business backwards and forwards, can find themselves in a rut because they have lost the passion and drive to be the best of the best.
These self-limiting beliefs are inside someone's own head. This is not what people believe it to be; this is not a boss coming down on them because they are simply no longer good at their jobs. The desire, drive, passion and belief in oneself is still in there. But, let's face it, after constantly hearing bad news day in and day out from the economic side to the war side to the violent weather side of life – after a while the depression goes up and the self-worth goes down.
It gets to the point where, no matter what you say or do, your brain begins to believe that with all the bad news out there in the world, there is simply no good news. Caramanico Maguire Associates, as we've spoken about for the last few months, is THAT company that can change the self-limiting beliefs and bring back the power that a salesperson once owned. They can bring back the excitement into a hard worker's world, and they know the tools that are necessary when it comes to evaluating a sales team, and evaluating the sales management of corporations that are floundering because they can't seem to get their "mojo" back.
This week, we really want to delve in deep when it comes to what a salesperson needs – what that salesperson and sales management team need in order to bring their corporation to new heights – even in this rough and tumble world.
As a brief recap for each and every one of you, Caramanico Maguire Associates, Inc. has been working tirelessly since 1986 to focus on the issues of sales development. CMA has helped hundreds of companies grow their sales force through Evaluation and Training, Recruiting, and the innovative STAR™ program. CMA uses their amazing techniques to evaluate your sales force and come to a determination about the areas in your company that need severe improvement. When recruiting, CMA works to do a full service recruiting on a selective basis in order to teach your sales management team what and who they should be on the lookout for to increase their business. And, STAR™, is a complete, integrated system for acquiring sales talent. This amazing program that CMA created allows companies to hire salespeople who will execute all company strategies and produce at extremely high levels in a much shorter time.
When it comes to self-limiting beliefs, we have spoken about that in the past. What we truly need to cover now is why most sales training fails. When companies focus on technique and process and have no regard for the hidden weaknesses or the motivation of their salespeople, companies suffer. With CMA, the philosophy is simple; a company must evaluate before training the right people. Who are the right people? Those who have the potential to grow significantly.
Our 'in-depth' looks into CMA have shown readers that no one should be trained without evaluating them first. Companies have shown that they spend a great deal of their hard-earned cash in training people who have absolutely no chance of improving their skills. And THIS is where the self-limiting beliefs raise its ugly head once again. The CMA evaluation is basically an inventory of personal motivation to succeed, selling skills and hidden obstacles to achieving growth. And there are many who have simply forced themselves into a 'slump,' who need to find that ability within themselves to rise to the head of the sales force and become what they were born to become – an optimal salesperson!
There are many classes when it comes to CMA and their evaluation of companies and their sales management teams. From Fast-track Sales Management to the Optimal Salesperson; from The Baseline Selling™ model to how to command a prospects attention – CMA has made sure to cover each and every step when it comes to bringing the passionate salesperson out, and increasing sales for the company. Closings, stopping hidden weaknesses, deleting those self-limiting beliefs, CMA works hard to make sure that a sales management team can increase their company's growth, while at the same time bringing positive outlooks back into salespeople's lives.
To offer a brief overview, CMA knows that to be successful, salespeople need a combination of inner strengths and a list of skills that will help them rise above everything from depression to fear to self-doubt. Sales managers, of course, also need to have a set of skills and talents that lead them to bring in the money where company's are concerned, and they have to find a way to be able to manage their optimal salespeople in order to keep on the path to success.
Just to give all you salespeople out there a look into what you need, what you must enhance, and what you must create within yourself in order to BE that optimal salesperson: You have to have some very compelling written Personal Goals. It is easier to put on paper the goals that you need for you and your family in order to have that "pot of gold" to shoot for. The strong desire and commitment to success is also a must, as well as finding a way to get and maintain a truly positive outlook even in a tough economy. An optimal salesperson does NOT make excuses, and they own and enhance their interpersonal skills in order to land each and every new prospect. Whether bringing clients in, or selling their products and/or services in bulk, a salesperson NEEDS to know their business!
When it comes to the sales manager, the gifts, skills and talents must differ, as they not only have to know their business, but also make sure their optimal salespeople are doing a perfect job for their company. A brief look into the sales management end includes the fact that all sales management teams need to manage the pipeline correctly. They need to have solid goals and a plan that will bring in more and more business. They need to be able to manage sales activity and be able to hold salespeople accountable for their mistakes. A good sales manager is like a good educator, or even a brave jungle guide. These are not people who are simply in place to "save" a salesperson; they are there to teach, debrief, and coach the salespeople into knowing what they need to do and how to do it. They motivate, they don't rescue. And a sales manager aids salespeople into overcoming those hideous self-limiting beliefs. Part boss, part friend, part aide, part coach – CMA makes sure that a sales management team is a perfect mixture of them all!
There's no doubt about it. Caramanico Maguire Associates is the new way of running a business, and finding the ultimate techniques to turning any business into a success. A proven program, Caramanico Maguire Associates is the ONE for businesses and salespeople to turn to in this, an hour of severe economic need.
Contact Caramanico Maguire Associates today and turn your business around!
Until Next Time, Everybody.

The refrigerator in your kitchen uses a cycle that is a similar to the one described in the previous section. But in your refrigerator, the cycle is continuous. In the following example, we will assume that the refrigerant being used is pure ammonia, which boils at -27 degrees F. This is what happens to keep the refrigerator cool:
The compressor compresses the ammonia gas. The compressed gas heats up as it is pressurized (orange).
1. The coils on the bank of the refrigerator let the hot ammonia gas dissipate its heat. The ammonia gas condenses into ammonia liquid (dark blue) at high pressure.
2. The high-pressure ammonia liquid flows though the expansion valve. You can think of the expansion valve as a small hole. On one side of the hole is high-pressure ammonia liquid. On the other side of the hole is a low-pressure area (because the compressor is sucking gas out of that side).
3. The liquid ammonia immediately boils and vaporize (light blue), its temperature dropping to-27 F. This makes the inside of the refrigerator cold.
4. The cold ammonia gas is sucked up by the compressor, and the cycle repeats. By the way, if you have ever turned your car off on a hot summer day when you have had the air conditioner running, you may have heard a hissing noise under the hood. That noise is the sound of high-pressure liquid refrigerant flowing through the expansion valve.
This report also contains information about plant, assembly area and information about other units and improvement of incoming quality at Whirlpool. Use this report for your reference and study only.

Cluny approached the tapestry with the Hocain in his left paw, the sword in his right, and the Glist was curled around by his tail. All Redwallers, young and old, followed. Cluny stared at the eyes of the mouse on the wall, and solemnenly closed his eyes. He touched the tips of all three weapons above his head, and felt a surge of unspeakable power rush through him. There was a blinding flash of light that penetrated even through his closed eyelids. When he opened them, the Warrior on the tapestry was gone! He felt a paw of unspeakable strength and kindness grasped his shoulder. He turned.
And there, for all creatures to see, was Martin the Warrior.
Every creature present stood with their mouths agape, Cluny among them. Abbot Mordalphus fell to his knees, tears rolling down his cheeks unchecked. Martin leaned down and cupped his face and said, "You have ruled well here, Father. With you as Abbot, I am proud to call myself a Redwaller." Mordalphus's face radiated pure joy. Martin then cradled the babe which was sired by the late Mattimeo. "You posses a name of power, Martin. Bear it well, and protect your friends."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have a problem with a credit collection agency in Georgia continuing to harass me over a debt that I have continually denied, the debt keeps being sold to other collections. Anyway, I had it over the current agency's continuous calls (4x per day), a robo call that when you press 0 to talk, no one ever answers the phone. When I finally talked to a person, I told her to stop harassing me, she called back and left a message that they would not stop calling me. I filed a complaint with the FTC, but haven't heard back. I want to sue - how do I do this? I live in CA, and this company is in GA. Do I need an attorney, what kind? What would I sue for? Can I sue just for the harassment? I have all the recent calls from the company on my phone log and the message on my voice mail.I have asked numerous times that if they have a case to go ahead and sue me, nothing has come of that, from any of the collectors. I also get calls that tell me they are with the "legal department" and that if I don't call, they are going to file a criminal complaint for fraud.
Based off your facts it is important that you consult with a Consumer Protection attorney immediately. It appears that the debt collector may have violated both federal and state collection laws but more information is needed.
Most Consumer Protection attorneys do not charge anything for an initial consultation. As a matter of fact they usually do not charge anything for the entire representation since the statutes governing this area of law allow for fee shifting, so if the case is settled or you go to trial and win then the Defendant would be required to compensate you and pay all of your attorney fees. To find an excellent consumer attorney near you go to naca.net
If you have any other questions or concerns then check out my website.
If you feel the debt collector has violated the law, you should consult with an attorney that handles consumer lawsuits for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the California Rosenthal Act. Both Acts are meant to protect consumers from illegal debt collection. I am not sure from your inquiry whether they have violated the law, but most attorneys in this practice area will provide a free consultation to review the facts and determine whether they believe you have a good suit against the debt collector.
This reply does not constitute legal advice or the establishment of an attorney client relationship.Ask a similar question
You should visit with a qualified consumer attorney in your area. You can search on Avvo or search the NACA website. There are fantastic lawyers in your area and most won't charge you to see if you have a case. Good luck and don't let collectors treat you poorly.Ask a similar question

Major Economic Indicators
- Afghanistan is a landlocked country in Central Asia, bordered by Pakistan to the south, Iran to the west, and Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan to the north. It connects to China through the Wakhan Corridor in the northeast. The country has endured many wars over the past century. The more recent of these include conflicts with the former Soviet Union in the 1980s, the Taliban-Northern Alliance civil war in the 1990s, and the US-assisted removal of the Taliban in the early 2000s. Following the US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2015, Islamic State militia have also emerged as a threat to Afghanistan, alongside the Taliban. Military combats and insurgency have become recurrent events and a a major security problem in the country.
- Following the presidential elections of 2014, security and political stability are the key factors needed for Afghanistan to develop its economy. Afghanistan's services sector accounts for about half of its GDP. Agriculture represents about 25% of GDP, despite the country's shortage of arable land and lack of modern irrigation systems. Transport and storage (about 20% of GDP) has become a new economic driver in the post-Taliban years, especially in light of the increasing demand for refrigerated transportation and storage facilities.
- The development of manufacturing is limited in this war-torn country. Afghanistan's main exports are fruit, medical herbs and carpets, which combined represent more than half of its total exports, with India and Pakistan being its major markets. Imports consist mainly of petroleum products, metals and motor vehicles, which come mostly from Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Russia.
- Afghanistan has a rich endowment of natural resources, notably natural gas, coal and copper. The construction of TAPI (Turkmenistan- Afghanistan- Pakistan – India) Pipeline for transportation of natural gas among the four countries, has started in December 2015. The project is expected to be completed in 2019. Security issues notwithstanding, Chinese enterprises have already established a presence in the country's resources sector. China's National Petroleum Corporation, for instance, signed a 25-year contract with Afghanistan in 2011, following a copper mine deal worth US$3 billion secured by China Metallurgical Group Corporation and the Jiangxi Copper Company in 2008.
- In December 2015, the WTO formally approved Afghanistan's membership, with the country given six months to ratify the accession protocol and signal its acceptance of WTO membership. Afghanistan is also a member of the South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) and signed trade agreements with India and Pakistan. During his trip to China in July 2015, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani recognised the vital importance of China's Belt and Road Initiative to his country, and said Afghanistan was looking forward to participating in any relevant projects, while also welcoming Chinese investment in the country's infrastructure.
- Afghanistan Investment Support Agency (AISA) is the agency to promote FDI in Afghanistan. The Afghan government encourages FDI in infrastructural-related sectors such as telecommunication, construction materials, mining, public utilities, transport and logistics. More details on investment opportunities and regulations in Afghanistan can be found on the AISA website.
- Afghanistan's cumulative FDI was US$1,692 million as at end-2014, rising marginally from the previous year. According to statistics from China's Ministry of Commerce, Chinese cumulative FDI in Afghanistan was valued at US$518.5 million as at end-2014.

The Great Study was a gigantic chamber that laid beneath Shiro Mirumoto, to have a secure hold in the event that the castle came under attack. [1]
Founding Edit
The chamber was built under the rule of the paranoid Mirumoto Daimyo Mirumoto Daisuke, and stocked it with a huge supply of foodstuffs. Ultimately, after Daisuke's death the hidden storage chamber was emptied out and largely ignored over later centuries. [2]
Nemuranai Warehouse Edit
In middle 12th century the Mirumoto Daimyo Mirumoto Uso ordered the chamber emptied and prepared to study nemuranai of all types, to be cataloged. [1] The camber was renamed the Great Study, and it storaged artifacts as the Armor of Sun Tao, the Jade Goblet of Otosan Uchi, and many others. [2]

Update: Marvel Heroes Omega has also now been announced for Xbox One. However, a blog post on the Xbox Wire does not mention any beta test, suggesting that trial may be exclusive to PS4.
Original story follows.
Gazillion Entertainment, the developer of 2013's PC RPG Marvel Heroes, has announced a follow-up called Marvel Heroes Omega, coming to PlayStation 4 this spring.
Marvel Heroes Omega "draws inspiration from both action-RPGs and MMOs," says community manager David Lee. Headline characters include Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men, and the Guardians of the Galaxy, while villains Loki and Doctor Doom will also make an appearance in the game's nine-chapter story campaign.
You can take a look at the game's reveal trailer above, or if you want to try it out for yourself, Gazillion has stated a closed beta will come to PS4 soon.
It's unclear whether Omega represents a full sequel to Marvel Heroes–which Gazillion has continued to support since its launch four years ago–or if it's to be a port of that PC game. We do know, however, that the new game will be free-to-play, just like the original title.
More Marvel games will come in the future, after Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider, and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided publisher Square Enix announced a multi-game partnership with the comic company.
In other Marvel news, upcoming Spider-Man reboot movie, Homecoming, recently saw a new trailer released. The film–which is set to hit theaters on July 7–stars Tom Holland in action as Spidey, plus Michael Keaton as the villainous Vulture, and Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is also scheduled for this year, while a new teaser for Netflix's Defenders series recently got a new teaser–check it…
