Formed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA, the Flaming Lips won a deserved reputation in the 80s and 90s for their discordant, psychedelia-tinged garage rock, and have recorded a fine body of off-kilter and unpredictable work. They are led by lyricist, vocalist and guitarist Wayne Coyne (Wayne Ruby Coyne, 17 March 1965, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA), who started playing music during his high school days. Coyne was joined in the band by his brother, Mark Coyne, who is best remembered for his vocals on the debut albums My Own Planet. Taking up the microphone following his brothers departure, Wayne Coyne fronted a line-up completed by Steven Drozd (b. Steven Gregory Drozd, 6 December 1969, Houston, Texas, USA; drums/vocals, replacing Richard English and Nathan Roberts), Ron Jones (b. Ronald Lee Jones, 26 November 1970, Angeles, Philippines; guitars/vocals) and Michael Ivins (b. Michael Lee Ivins, 17 March 1965, Omaha, Nebraska, USA; bass/vocals)....

Watching the Golden Girls as a kid and teen convinced me that getting older wouldn't be so bad. I only need to find a group of friends to stand by me. I've watched a lot of re-runs of the series, but I'm guessing I haven't seen as many as Alan. He's created a faithful miniature replica of the Golden Girls' house in paper! I KNOW! Check out all the details he's included:
– Sophia's bamboo purse in the living room
– Rose's painting of St. Olaf from Season 5 "All Bets Off"
– Open the kitchen cabinet to find Dorothy's bike helmet from Season 6 "There Goes the Bride"
– Blanche's Commemorative Citrus Festival Ball Plate (glued back together) from Season 5 "Ebb Tide"
– Look for the deck of cards Rose used with Gene in Season 2 "Isn't it Romantic?"
– Rose's "R" Cups from Season 5 "72 Hours"
– Rose's Teddy Bear Fernando from Season 3, "Old Friends"
– Baggie of Egg Yolks from Season 5 "Sick and Tired"
– and of course, a cheesecake from, well… almost every episode
It could only be better if it had a button that triggered the theme song. I really hope he makes tiny paper doll replicas of the girls to live in it.
Check out a few more pictures after the break.
Thanks for the tip, Alan! Send your tips to email@example.com.

Evan Seinfeld (born December 29, 1967) is a Jewish American musician and adult film actor, as well as a director, photographer, writer, and vocalist. He is best known for playing bass guitar and serving as vocalist for the hardcore heavy metal band Biohazard, and as the ex-husband of pornographic actress, Tera Patrick, with whom he has performed in adult films. The couple announced their split on September 30, 2009, but they will remain business partners.[1][2] In addition to Biohazard, he currently plays with the Spyderz. Previously, he had performed with Damnocracy. In October, 2008, he joined the band Tattooed Millionaires, as bass player.
Early life
Evan Seinfeld was born in Brooklyn, New York to Jewish parents, Ira and Lois[3]. He grew up in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn, and spent his early summers with his parents at Camp Lokanda in Glen Spey, New York where his father was the girls' head counselor.
Music career
Seinfeld is best known for being the bassist and vocalist for the heavy metal band Biohazard. Evan was also the bassist for the short-lived supergroup Damnocracy, featured in the VH1 reality television show SuperGroup, with other members including Ted Nugent, Sebastian Bach, Scott Ian and Jason Bonham.
In 2007, Evan Seinfeld debuted his new band, the Spyderz, as an opening act for a Buckcherry performance. The band was originally named White Line Fever, until it was discovered that a UK band already owned the name. The Spyderz also feature bassist John Monte, formerly of Ministry and M.O.D., lead guitarist Dirrty, and drummer Lee Nelson.
Acting career
Seinfeld portrayed Jaz Hoyt in the HBO prison drama Oz for the majority of the series' six-year run (40 episodes total). His character was the leader of the prison's biker gang and an ally of the Aryan Brotherhood, a white supremacist racist gang that detested (amongst others) blacks and Jews. In certain episodes of season 6, the Star of David tattoo on Seinfeld's belly[4] can be clearly seen.
Seinfeld, who was married to adult film star Tera Patrick, has performed with her in seven pornographic films under the stage name "Spyder Jonez", including Reign of Tera and Teradise Island (which he also directed), Tera, Tera, Tera, and Desperate. In the final scene of Reign of Tera, he performs in an orgy featuring ten Asian porn stars as the sole male. He also performs in duo scenes with women other than Tera Patrick.[5]
Seinfeld and Patrick appear in a number of celebrity TV series such as E! True Hollywood Story "Rockstar Wives", G4TV's A Day in the Life of Tera Patrick, VH1's Greatest Metal Songs, and WE's Secret Lives of Women.
Evan appeared in the independent films Angry Dogs, Kiss Me Now, and Wizard of Gore.
Other appearances
Seinfeld was featured in the 2008 book, Permanence: Tattoo Portraits by artist Kip Fulbeck.

Researchers look at bee fertility
The University of WA is embarking on an $800,000 study on the fertility of bees.
Research leader, Boris Baer, says most agricultural crops rely on bees for pollination.
He says honey bee populations are falling worldwide and, if the decline continues, it could lead to a significant increase in food prices.
Mr Baer says the importance of honey bees for pollination and food production is remarkably undervalued.
"A third or even more of the things that end up on our tables, more than 80 crops of agricultural importance depend on pollination," he said.
"That translates in very substantial values for the industry so for Australia for example pollination is worth between $4 and 6-billion a year."

Cool, you don't by any chance support auto-completion of sections of the pom, do you? I was thinking of something like the behavior of the '(' and '{' characters, for things like <plugin> and <execution> (these are the ones that I always mess up the end tags on, since they're singular-followed-by-plural...like </execution>\n</executions>) Nice to see someone working on this, though.

Tales of Symphonia
Review by UltimaterializerX
""The Gamecube has no good RPGs" officially died with Tales of Symphonia's release."
In a generation that loves RPGs, the Gamecube has never really made its mark in the RPG community. Because of this stereotype, people practically gave up on the Gamecube as a system willing to deliver any RPGs worth playing. But this continues no longer. Tales of Symphonia bursts onto the RPG scene as a title exclusive to the Gamecube, and a title that is so well-done and complete that even the people who never bothered to give the Gamecube any respect will not help but take notice. Games like Tales of Symphonia don't come along very often, and no matter what system this title would have been on, it would have made a gigantic splash.
"I want a world free of sacrifice."
The story begins from the perspective of Lloyd Irving, a teenager with a heart of gold, not to mention an absolute moron. He loves to sleep in class, he has horrendous study habits, and oftentimes relies on his two best friends, Genis Sage and Colette Brunel, to help him get by. But Lloyd has a reason to be this way. His mother was murdered when he was too young to remember what happened, and he has no clue as to the whereabouts of his father or whether his father even lives in the first place.
The trio of children grew up in a town called Iselia, guided by their mentor and teacher, Raine Sage. Raine and Genis are siblings, though Raine's maturity and age has allowed her to act as the mother of the family since the disappearance of their real mother. Raine is a strong woman who does not back down from her beliefs, and has no compunctions against bringing down the hammer on any who would challenge them. Raine is the perfect type of leader --- strong-willed, yet open-minded at the same time --- but her personality indicates that her strong will covers many underlying issues stemming from her past.
The game starts with Raine teaching her class, and Lloyd typically asleep in the back of the room. The class is studying the World Regeneration Journey, a story in which the Chosen of Mana goes on a worldwide pilgrimage to save their world of Sylvarant from its current decline. Colette, the Chosen of Mana herself, is a student of the class and knows the answers to nearly ever question Raine asks. Lloyd, as always, learns next to nothing and the rest of the party is stuck explaining everything to him throughout the game. Raine's lesson is little more than a refresher course however, as the beginning of the game marks the time when Colette is about to begin the World Regeneration Journey itself.
The Light of the Oracle, the symbol that the Chosen must begin her journey, soon appears at the nearby Martel Temple to set the game in motion. When the party arrives at the temple, they manage to recruit a mercenary named Kratos. Kratos is a mysterious, cold figure who seems only dedicated to his profession and not much else. He vows to commit himself solely to the safety of the chosen, and he also makes it a habit to constantly remind Lloyd of how poor Lloyd's swordsmanship is in comparison to his own. After some more events, the party is attacked by the Desians, the main villains of Sylvarant and an organization of Half-Elves that seems focused on little more than making lives miserable for humans. The entire purpose of the World Regeneration Journey is to bring peace to Sylvarant, which includes the scouring of the Desians.
The party easily fends off the Desian attack, and after more dialogue back in Iselia, Genis convinces Lloyd to go to the Iselia Human Ranch, a Desian-run ranch that uses humans as slaves, to assist a friend. Though it violates a non-aggression treaty Iselia has with the Desians, Lloyd agrees to go anyway. The results are disastrous, as Lloyd is not only recognized by the Desians, but Iselia is raided and destroyed afterwards. Worse yet, Colette decided to begin her World Regeneration Journey without allowing Lloyd to come along. After being exiled by the mayor of Iselia, Lloyd and Genis, with no where else to go and no one else to turn to but each other, set out into the world around them in an effort to find Colette, help her complete her pilgrimage, and fix the mistakes of their past.
"You pathetic, inferior being!"
Tales of Symphonia's storyline of saving someone as they travel on a journey may seem cliché, and it is. It's the exact same story seen within Final Fantasy X and Grandia 2; however, Tales of Symphonia is far different. The game's story begins as a bland series of predictable nonsense, but as the game progresses, you will learn of the true nature of the game in that the story goes far deeper than anything you could have concluded at the onset. Colette's journey, while important, is but mere exposition for the more underlying motifs and plot lines within the game.
The game plays out like a well-written Shakesperian. The beginning of the game --- the cut scene that appears when you first turn the game on --- resembles Shakespeare's strategy of using early fireworks to keep the groundlings in the front of the audience interested early, knowing full well that he was to bore them with mounds of exposition later. The true beauty of Shakespeare's playwriting came in how his plays evolved as you read them, and Tales of Symphonia does the exact same thing. Colette's journey can be interesting in its own right, but the game's story eventually involves into an entity far bigger than what it seems at first. The game examines the effects of world order, and whether or not accepting authority is always the correct thing to so. There is also a large, underlying examination of racism and prejudice's effect on the world, and all sides of the issue are carefully examined closely - views upon holding onto one's past, the struggle between femininity and masculinity, and even the struggle to find one's place in the world are also looked at within Tales of Symphonia, not to mention many other viewpoints. Colette's journey is but a look at the surface, both in the game's raw plot line and the underlying philosophical debates that can be drawn from the game's late plot line. The game's story is told in superb form; the story constantly builds upon itself with one plot twist after another, which not only sucks you into to game's storyline and the hidden meanings behind them, but forces you to look at the same issues that take place in your own world around you as well.
"Feel the pain of those inferior beings as you burn in hell!"
It's difficult for an RPG to survive on story alone, but Tales of Symphonia needs not worry about such things. It has a superb battle system, as well as equally amazing gameplay. Before you even go into the world and start taking names with the game's near-flawless battle system, the options given to you in the menu alone make this game one of the most well-done, in-depth RPGs ever made.
Gone is the method of stockpiling 99 items and using them to get through any situation. The most number of any item you can have in Tales of Symphonia is 20. Gone are your characters having meaningless Status screens. You can earn titles for your characters and equip them in your characters' various status screens, which not only gives your characters a more personal feel, but also slightly affects their stats. There is also a Synopsis section for players who feel the need to brush up on what they have done in the game so far, be it for reminiscence or to give themselves a quick memory job of the game's events.
In terms of equipment, each character has set types of items that they can equip; you can't simply slap anything on each character. Characters like Lloyd and Kratos are the ones able to wield heavy equipment, while Colette wields lighter equipment. Each character's possible equips suit their character, which is a very detailed aspect of the game. And even though you cannot see what armor or accessory you have equipped on a character when in the field of battle, the same cannot be said of the amazing weapons in the game. Meticulous detail is given to all of the game's weapons, and it shows when your characters use them in battle. The weapons your characters wield range from a simple wooden sword to weapons that are alive and moving in and of themselves, and the way your weapons blend in with the general feel of battle is superb.
Some of your characters are not proficient in the healing arts, but they make up for this by Cooking. You start off with a simple Sandwich recipe, but as you traverse through the game, you can encounter the enigmatic Wonder Chef by searching every possible corner of every town you encounter. A bit of an oddball at first, The Wonder Chef soon becomes the comic relief of the game - when searching for him, you'll never see him in his real form; rather, he takes the shape of various household items and hides himself away in odd places. It's your job to find The Wonder Chef whenever possible, and when you do, he will teach you bigger, better recipes to add to your collection of foods. The entire Cooking system seems a bit off, but it adds a large tone of realism to the game. It's a nice change to not have every character capable of casting high level healing spells after each battle, and you'll have to carefully consider when and where to use your money and rations in order to keep your party going. You'll also enjoy the fact that you'll be eating Steaks capable of curing the entire party of Paralysis, Omelets capable of curing the entire party of Poison, and Cream Stew capable of curing the party of everything.
Your characters will all eventually equip Exspheres unto themselves, and thereafter attach EX Gems to the Exspheres themselves. It's a system similar to Final Fantasy 7's Materia system, though it is not nearly as in-depth. After your characters equip an Exsphere --- you never actually get the Exspheres as an item; the characters all have them innately equipped from the beginning --- each character will have four slots available for the equipping of EX Gems. There are four levels of EX Gem, 1 being the strongest and 4 being the weakest, and after your characters procure and equip multiple EX Gems, their natural fighting and character abilities are available for release; furthermore, as your characters equip more EX Gems, Compund EX Skills become available to your characters. These allow your characters to not only enhance themselves further, but to give themselves a more personal feel to them as well. For example, Lloyd has a Personal EX Skill that allows you to walk faster in towns and dungeons, while Sheena has a skill that slows down the reaction time of enemies in dungeons. The entire system is wonderfully crafted, and when taken full advantage of it allows you to craft your characters to your own personal liking. You're also able to develop your characters as Technical (T) or Strike (S) type characters, which is another way of depicting between magical attackers and physical attackers. You can develop any character in either field (though each character has a field that they are more well-suited for) depending on the types of EX Skills you assign to them, and whether your character is developed as a T or S type decides what types of Techs they will learn.
Each of your characters has a set list of Techs unique to themselves that they will learn as you progress through the game, but depending on how you choose to develop your characters, only certain Techs will be learned by your characters as you progress. This adds a wonderful effect of humanism to your characters, and keeps the feel of battle unique; no battle will feature all of your characters using the exact same skills over and over again. Every character has a unique skillset, and Tales of Symphonia does not allow you to simply teach all of your characters identical abilities. There is a wonderful - perhaps necessary - variety to your characters' skills.
"Do you earnestly believe that you can defeat me?"
The true beauty of all of the detail put into your characters, of course, is seeing it in action in the field of combat. Tales of Symphonia's has a live action battle system, and though it can be difficult to get used to at first, players will quickly learn that the all of the work out into the behind the scenes detail on the characters directly translates into true beauty on the battlefield.
Solid Snake and Otacon once had a conversation about whether or not love could bloom on a battlefield. For them to have such a conversation, they have clearly never played this game. Even the battle-hardened Solid Snake himself would fall head over heels for the ingenius wonder that is Tales of Symphonia's battle system. The first thing to note about Tales's battles are that the vast majority of the game's random battles are optional. As you walk across the world map, towns, and dungeons, you will not be magically sucked into battles to the death out of no where; rather, you will see the enemies walking on the field. You, not the game, choose how many random battles you will fight.
Once in battle, the wondrous constitution of the meticulous detail given to your characters all comes to a head. When a battle first begins, your characters start on the left of a circular field, while the enemies begin by being positioned on the right. You will only control one character manually, while your other party members are controlled by the computer. This doesn't mean that you don't have most of the control over the battle, however. Before anything even starts, there is a Strategies option in the menu that allows you to control nearly everything about the AI of your party members, from their starting positions to how aggressive they are, from which enemies they are to attack to how far away they should stand from said enemies while attacking, and even how they are to ration their Tech Points in battle. If you want, you can even have all of your allies do nothing while you do all of the work on your own. There is even a setting that allows you to control any character you wish in battle. You don't have to control Lloyd, though most players will do so anyway on first playthroughs of the game.
This all leads to what will feel like unorganized chaos at first; your allies will brutally massacre enemies as if they are extensions of Napoleon Bonaparte, while you'll wind up scurrying after each enemy like an ant in a feeble effort to get kills on your own as well. But despite the growing pains that most players have when they initially experience the battle system on their own, half the fun of the game is slowly learning how the system fully works and then using what is learned in the field.
For starters, even your basic attack has multiple uses. By pressing different directions on the analog stick while attacking, your characters can attack with aerial assaults, ground combos, or you can simply take any enemy dumb enough to stand in front of you and maul them into submission. Mashing the attack button can't win battles on their own however, because no character is able to keep up a flurry of attacks forever. For your characters to avoid getting destroyed after unleashing attacks, there is a blocking function that allows them to stand their ground. Not that this allows them to stand there forever, for if a character blocks too long or gets hit from behind while blocking, their guard will be broken and they shall be at the mercy of any enemies smart enough to keep up the pressure.
But battles are far more in-depth than simple attacking and defending. Techs are a large part of battle; a lot of attention, both extraneous as well as normal, is given to their use. There are four combinations of the B button and two combinations of the C button that Techs can be shortcutted to, and by doing so, Techs can be unleashed with speeds that keep up with the speed of battle rather than by sifting through a menu. Physical characters have Techs that can be linked together when done in the correct order, which allows some characters to let loose multiple Techs in a row. The magical characters have their own Tech characteristics to worry about, as they must stay away from the enemies and charge their spells before they reach resolution. If they get hit mid-charge, the spell is left interrupted and uncast.
With a solid mix of physical melees and Techs flying all over the place, the game's battles play out with enemies and allies flying at each other with everything they have, and because of all the action going on at once and the methods with which the actions are all executed, the battles have the feel of the RPG and fighting game genres mixed together. Battles are an absolute pleasure to watch, and even more fun to participate in. As the game progresses, the battle system evolves as well. There as Unison Attacks that combine Techs in one moment of unleashed hell, Shortcuts that allow you to command seemingly your entire party at the same time, and various other strategies and nuances that seem to take everything about the characters into account when they're on the battlefield.
"It could almost be called art."
Tales of Symphonia closes out its brilliant design with wonderful cel-shaded graphics and a brilliant music score composed by Motoi Sakuraba. The game's design is absolutely gorgeous, with amazing detail given to all of the environments. The towns, dungeons, and world map's graphics are so detailed and lifelike that you can easily be fooled into thinking the world as your own. The color scheme used through the game is very bright, which only serves to enhance the surrounding features even more. For example, there is a large town that you visit in the second half of the game that houses all three class structures --- the wealthy, the middle, and the poor --- and the graphics only serve to enhance the various lifestyles within the city. The slums have unpaved roads and dirty citizens, while the commoners have relatively average homes, average character models walking the streets, and average scenery. The full attention is given to the wealthy section of town, complete with multistory mansions, paved streets, formal attire on the citizens, and bustling plant life in the surroundings.
The characters themselves are drawn in cartoon fashion, but this does not cause the game's overall graphical prowess to suffer in the least. They blend in well with the surrounding environments, and it gives the feel of traditional RPGs to go along with the present-day modernization trend undergone by most new RPGs released in the last few years.
Score-wise, though not every track is of the near-perfect standard created by the rest of the game's qualities, it is still an amazing piece overall. Most of the tracks fit well with their surrounding environments, and some of them manage to stand out from the rest as being the brilliant music most RPG fans love to hear during their play. The music that plays during the opening cutscene, the Angel Battle theme, Exire's theme, Asgard's theme, and the theme playing during the game's final dungeon are all tracks that stand out from the rest in that they are able to draw a full range of emotions from those who hear them. They, along with most of the game's musical score, only serve to enhance an already brilliant gaming experience and allow the game to be a complete product with few if any flaws.
"The boy sets out on a journey, bearing his sins. Do not forget the past."
Tales of Symphonia is nothing short of a well-crafted masterpiece. Everything is put into the game for a reason, everything builds upon itself, and everything about the game continues to build upon itself until it reaches its awe-inspiring climax. Part of what makes the game so amazing is that everything, not simply the music and battle system, is given such attention. All facets of the game compliment each other perfectly, which can easily be seen by simply turning the game on and taking in the artistry of the opening cutscene.
There are also a ton of amazing nuances within the game that fly under the radar, but serve to prove how in-depth the game truly is. There is a Collector's Book that keeps track or the items you obtain, and there is a title you can earn for collecting all of the items. There is also a title that Colette can earn for naming all of the dogs in the game, as well as a Grade Shop that appears after the game is beaten the firs time. With the Grade Shop, players can spend the Grade they earn after battles on various bonuses that carry over to the next game, including unlocking Mania difficulty, restrictions or benefits on items and experience points, and the ability to retain the titles and Techs one has worked hard to earn on a first run through the game. Even after Tales of Symphonia ends, you don't run out of things you can do thanks to the innate replayability within the game, as well as all of the loose ends that you can sew up. Tales caters to the needs of players who like to achieve everything possible, as well as players who only want to experience the game once. Tales simply has so much to offer that nearly everyone who plays the game will likely find something to love about the game, and because the game does everything so well, players may be surprised at not only everything that the game has to offer, but how well all of the game's parts mesh together to form such a brilliant product.

At some point during the morning of the elopement, I asked Andrey if he knew what Maria had selected for her wedding dress. He replied "I have not, but I am excited to see." After the ceremony, we were driving back to their suite and I asked Andrey what he thought about her dress. Andrey smiled and said "Honestly, I didn't even think about it. All that matters is I love her, now we are married, and everything is perfect."
I can't even begin to tell you what this day has meant to me. This was my first opportunity to photograph an elopement and having Iceland as the backdrop was a blessing. When you're the only other person with the couple on such an important day in their lives, you become a very intimate part of the experience. By the end of the day it felt like we had all grown so close. When I left, we all exchanged hugs and I felt like I was leaving friends that I have known all my life.
I'm grateful to have shared all these special memories and moments with these two. Here is how our time together unfolded…

So amazing and epic. Each of them is just perfect. Congratulations!!
Strikingly beautiful as always, Nirav.

Your photos leave me speechless every single time, and the music you pair along with them is always unbelievably perfect. You have quickly climbed the ranks to become one of my favorite photographers, and I get so excited every time you post something new. These photos of Iceland make me miss that beautiful country so much, and I hope to return someday soon. Your work is just absolutely gorgeous–I hope you know that.

Uggggh. Those locations. Some of the best stuff to come out of Iceland. Stellar job, Nirav.

More than 2.1 million Americans -- including 68,192 Illinoisans -- selected health insurance plans through the Obamacare exchange since open enrollment began
"People are trying to get coverage while they can," said
The numbers were released a day after President-elect
In the meantime, many
Americans have until
"If I were hit by a car or what have you, I wouldn't want to compromise my entire financial future, which I've worked very hard to try to secure for many years," said Holden, 55.
He's not sure whether he'll buy a plan on or off the exchange -- though he imagines both will be affected by an Obamacare repeal. The uncertainty is grating, he said, but not enough to stop him from securing health insurance. Under Obamacare, all Americans must get insurance or pay a penalty.
"It just adds another level of aggravation to the process, going through all this work this year and not knowing what we'll face a year from now," Holden said.
Some experts have speculated that any plan to repeal and replace Obamacare would include a transition period away from the law. Even with a transition period, however, insurers might choose to leave the exchanges if the Trump administration cuts off funding for certain provisions of the law,
Many consumers already have spent hours trying to find the best exchange coverage for their families -- a task made more difficult this year by reduced choices and higher prices.
For next year, no exchange plan includes
Corlette said it's common across the country to see academic medical centers left out of exchange plans. Exchange shoppers tend to be very price-conscious, so insurers are trying to keep premiums for those plans low. One way to do that is by excluding academic medical centers, which often charge higher rates for services than other types of providers, Corlette said. Consumers who must go to an academic medical center for a specific service or specialist can ask insurers if they can make an exception or they can go to their state departments of insurance to see if they can compel coverage in some cases, she said.
The slimmed-down networks, paired with higher prices, have made shopping more confusing this year, said

MedPAC Expected to Again Recommend Home Health Payment Rate Freeze, Copays and Accelerated Rebasing:
New Recommendation on Rehospitalization Penalties
The Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) met recently as part of its annual ritual of developing recommendations to Congress. This year, MedPAC appears poised to simply restate last year's recommendations and add a new one focused on penalizing home health agencies with abnormal levels of rehospitalizations.
The recommendations expected to be repeated are a zero inflation update and shifting rebasing from a four year phase-in to a two year phase-in. MedPAC staff expressed that home health agencies maintained a 14.6 percent margin in 2012 and that the current rate rebasing is "too modest" and should be deepened. MedPAC staff forecast that home health agencies will be able to offset most of the rate cuts through cost reductions leading to continued "overpayments" from Medicare.
NAHC does not agree with MedPAC's assessment of the impact of rebasing nor the ability of home health agencies to sufficiently control cost growth to maintain current Medicare margins. Data demonstrates that margins are declining while care costs are increasing.

National Council on Medicaid Home Care Creates Primer to the Ten Dual Eligible Agreements
On November 25, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the state of Washington signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishing the Medicare-Medicaid Alignment Initiative (MMAI) in capitated form for two counties in Washington State. This marked the latest of such MOUs signed coordinating care and financials of the dual eligible population.
Ten (10) MOUs have been signed already in the states of Massachusetts, Washington State (twice), Ohio, Illinois, California, Virginia, New York, Minnesota, and South Carolina. Eight of these MOUs - Massachusetts, Washington State, Ohio, Illinois, California, Virginia, New York, and South Carolina - were signed as part of the MMAI. The MMAI is a joint federal and state project that seeks to improve care and reduce costs associated with beneficiaries eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, or "dual eligibles."

We have several different products for sale, but when we go to grab the export of all submissions, all products are grouped together in one cell making it hard to count the total for each individual item. Is there is away to break these items apart when they are submitted/reported so that a manual count is not necessary?
JotForm Support
I'm sorry, but that's how the data will be placed in the file. A workaround to easily check the total would be to use our JotPayments App: https://apps.jotform.com/app/jotpayments. Please try it and let us know if you'll encounter some issues.

Craig Group is re-launching its global oilfield procurement division at Offshore Europe to demonstrate the major cost-savings it can offer the oil and gas industry. This is in response to the need for greater efficiencies to cope with the sharp drop in oil prices.
Craig International, the new name for Craig International Supplies (CIS), has evolved from an oilfield supply company to a provider of out-sourced procurement services. These services are resulting in major savings for oil companies in time and resources, combined with considerable savings on spend on oilfield products.
Out-sourced procurement management now accounts for almost 90% of Craig International's revenues and this is anticipated to grow dramatically in the next 12 months. By providing a complete procurement service, from raising the requisition, obtaining quotes for best price and issuing the purchase order to organising receipt and delivery of the goods, Craig International guarantees major savings on administrative time as well as the best price for the service or product.
Craig Group,

All carburetors have tamper-resistant idle mixture adjusting screws. This setting has been performed at the factory. Neither removal of the plug or adjustment of the mixture screw is required during service unless a major carburetor overhaul is performed.
- Remove the carburetor from the engine as described in Fuel System . The idle mixture screw is located in the base of the carburetor, just to the left of the PCV hose. Mount the carburetor, carefully, in a soft-jawed vise, protecting the gasket surface, and with the mixture adjusting screw facing upward.
- Drill a 5 / 64 in. (2 mm) hole through the casting from the underside of the carburetor. Make sure that this hole intersects the passage leading to the mixture adjustment screw just behind the plug. Now, widen that hole with a 1 / 8 in. (3.18 mm) drill bit.
- Insert a blunt punch into the hole and tap out the plug. Install the carburetor on the engine and connect all hoses, lines, etc.
- Start the engine and run it at fast idle until it reaches normal operating temperature. Make sure that all accessories are OFF and the transmission is in Neutral (manual) or Park (automatic). Turn the ignition switch OFF and disconnect the battery ground cable for about 5 seconds, then reconnect it. Disconnect the oxygen sensor.
- Start the engine and run it for at least 5 seconds at 2,000-3,000 rpm. Then allow the engine to idle for about 2 minutes.
- Connect a tachometer and allow the engine to operate at the curb idle speed. Adjust it, if necessary. Insert a CO meter probe into the exhaust pipe. A reading of 0.1-0.3% is necessary. Adjust the mixture screw to obtain the reading. If, during this adjustment, the idle speed is varied more than 100 rpm in either direction, reset the idle speed and readjust the CO until both specifications are met simultaneously. Shut off the engine, reconnect the oxygen sensor and install a new concealment plug.
Fuel injected trucks use a electronic fuel injection system which is controlled by a series of temperature, altitude and air flow sensors which feed information into a Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The control unit then relays an electronic signal to the injector nozzle(s), which allows a predetermined amount of fuel into the combustion chamber.

Boiling Point Coming to San Gabriel in June
Beef hot soup
Boiling Point is coming soon to Valley Blvd.'s Life Plaza Center. The hot pot chain has been aggressively expanding within the past couple of years, with current locations in Arcadia, Hacienda, Monterey Park and Irvine.
The chain, which was started by Rick Chou in 2004, serves up Taiwanese miniature hot pots focused on stinky tofu. Patrons pick the size they want (regular or large) and a broth base like Korean kimchi and lamb hotpot.
The restaurant will be occupying the space of the now-shuttered Cajun Symphony, which closed in April. According to a company representative, the San Gabriel location of Boiling Point is set to soft-launch sometime between the end of June and early July.

Disabled children inspire young player
Api Pewhairangi has two reasons for wanting to continue his rugby league education at the Newcastle Knights: exposure to the wisdom of master coach Wayne Bennett and maintaining his ties with the students at a school for the disabled.
The Palmerston North 20-year-old's latest deal at the rebuilding NRL club expires in November but the captain of their Toyota Cup team is hopeful of negotiating another extension within the next month.
Since he arrived in Newcastle at the end of 2009, Pewhairangi has experienced the frustrations of any budding professional footballer.
He was injured soon after he arrived and then discovered the local club team he was linked with were tardy trainers and struggled for numbers on game day.
Fortunately, Pewhairangi managed to play a handful of games in the SG Ball competition in 2010 and then convinced the Knights coaching staff to give him a chance in reserve grade. From there he was fast-tracked into the under-20s.
His form at the back end of 2010 warranted game time in first-grade trials in last year's pre-season - including a run against the New Zealand Warriors in Greymouth - and suddenly he found himself training with the top 25 alongside Kurt Gidley, Akuila Uate and Jarred Mullen, the playmaker he aspired to be.
However, wrist, calf and hamstring injuries then stalled his progress and this year he wasn't required to train with the elite squad.
"My first year, I shot up straight away. I had a pre-season, I had heaps of training sessions with first grade but because of injury last year, I didn't really get heaps of opportunities," he said.
He played only 10 games in 2011 and while his former halves partner in the under-20s, Tyrone Roberts, is now a member of Bennett's starting lineup, Pewhairangi has been treading water on the northern NSW coast and playing in the centres.
"In this pre-season I was sort of expecting to get a run with the top side like last year, so that was sort of disappointing. I've just had to keep working hard."
Pewhairangi has not yet spoken to Bennett since the legendary mentor arrived from St George-Illawarra. But his assistant - and predecessor - Rick Stone, has provided positive vibes regarding staying on.
"I've heard a few things from the club that they want to keep me here. I talked to Stoney recently; he gave me some good feedback," he said.
Given Bennett moulded Allan Langer and Darren Lockyer during his 20 years at the Brisbane Broncos, it is obvious Pewhairangi wants to stay put. "This is the club to be at for the next few years," he said.
"It's going up from here."
Meanwhile, Pewhairangi's down time away from football is also an uplifting experience.
He visited the Newcastle Middle School for physically and intellectually disabled children last year with a couple of team-mates and when a part-time job became available, he put his hand up.
"I've been going in three days a week. I'm just like a helping hand for the teacher. I do stuff like reading and taking them for bike rides so the teacher can have one-on-one time with other students.
The first fortnight "was very confronting", he conceded.
"Now they're just normal people for me. I just connected with them, the boys mainly. I love it."
There is no time for PlayStation back in his homestay with the Taylors either - he is striving for a BA in Maori Studies through Massey University, a qualification that continues an affinity with his native tongue.
"It's something that connects me back to home," said Pewhairangi, who was educated at the Te Kura Kaupapa Maori O Mana Tamariki Maori immersion school in Palmerston North.
"It's Maori language, political and health stuff."
While studying at one of league's school of hard knocks, Pewhairangi might never be top of the class at a club that produced halves like Andrew Johns, but he was confident he could make it in the NRL, given the opportunity.
"I was playing NSW Cup at 18, those boys are the same size (as first grade)," he said, lamenting a missed opportunity in 2012.
"Last year's injuries have put me back big time." Fairfax NZ

Can anyone give me some advice on where I would look to find a consultant company that does Software requirements for core business applications such as our time and attendance system, case management, finance, and HR software? We need someone who can not only do project management but can help us pick out the software that will meet our needs, implement, and integrate all theses new systems. I'm not sure if anyone has gone through a project like this that could give me some advice or knows a company / consultant that does this type of work. Thanks!

KIT is an IT service provider.
Ben, we can assist you with both Project and Program Management if interested in an outside agency getting you going.
If so, please PM me and we can open a dialogue.

Everywhere I have worked, each one was a seperate project that vendors demonstrated and we picked. You may just need a project manager to run the projects.
Jan 12, 2012 at 4:47 UTC
I am assuming this would have to be an IT Project Manager?
Jan 12, 2012 at 5:10 UTC
Internal I.T. Ltd is an IT service provider.
Somthing of this scope should involve a team (at least 1 member from each department ). We have consulates befor with a company that was updating / replacing some of their main systems. I what we found is pretty obvious no one knows what finace needs better than finace (repeat for all departments). Not fully knowing all aspects of their job and how to do it, means you will have a hard time finding the products that fit their need. They must be involved in some fashion or you will have nothing but head aches
Jan 12, 2012 at 5:26 UTC
We are definitely looking to get a internal team from each department also. We understand that the scope of this project is very large and it will require input from every team.

Time management, finance (revenue/profits tracking), and a hoard of other features are critical to the management of different processes. While we wanted a project management software to be implemented across our organization, we emphasized the importance of project tasks and their relation with finance. This ensures that tasks were allocated among team members keeping profits in mind. As per our recommendation the consulting company we were working with customized the project management software and integrated it across our internal framework.

I haven't had any form of bf at all in 2 years now? All men seem to want to do is come over. So I say no. Not many seem to want to spend money , not saying it's all about money but I think a man should take a woman out. I don't really talk to many men I don't no if it's me? I do get a lot of attention but all men seem to want is sex and not get to no me just come round and get it. I'm not that kind of woman that does that stuff I have a lot of self respect.
Why do men never want to take me out?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 9
Is that you in your avi?
If so, then it's the way you dress.42|20|0
ok, I've noticed this in both men and women. I call it the sexual response. the sexual response goes like this: we humans go for what is a stronger impulse for us or rather an urge. taking this issue from a man's perspective assuming you (the sexy/hot girl) and (a beautiful girl) are both the same in personality. if you 2 were infront of me and I had to pick between the 2 of you, I would pick you instead of her because I'd have an intense sexual attraction to you (even though I don't like you in that way, just generalizing you as a sexy woman). I would still know that the other woman is a beautiful wonderful woman but because of the fact that this you elicits such a strong sexual response in me, then my instinct is to pursue you over her. you might be looking for a relationship, which you are, but I will follow my urges rather than my head. and if I see a sexy woman my one and only response is sex. if I see a beautiful woman then my thought is, oh she's beautiful, and walk away.00|00|0
I don't dress like that in life I was going to a Halloween party
- Show AllShow Less
right, and that's wonderful but being hot/sexy with a good personality is not good because men only care about the sex and they will try to take advantage because of this. keep being a wonderful woman and I know that you will find the man of your dreams, and he will sweep you off your feet.
Maybe it's the duckface.32|10|0
I would think you come across as a very sexual person to the men you have been meeting. Maybe the places you meet them have an impact on this as well. Maybe if you were to find some fellow at a bookstore or coffee shop the general attitude may be a bit different. Also how you sense of style is and body language may impact the type of attention you're getting.00|00|0
maybe you're just not putting yourself out there enough00|00|0
if that's you in your picture, then I'm afraid your cursed. You are as hot as possible. Any guy who meets you will immediately think of sex and will find it entirely out of their control to think of anything else.00|01|0
Tone down the makeup and wear less revealing clothing, you have a big bust so men are going to see that first. Try not to have a bitchy attitude or be snobby. Also guys may be intimated by your looks and the good guys may not approach you so try to dress more of a everyday look.00|00|0
Assuming that's your photo, if you present yourself a certain way, you can expect a guy to approach you a certain way. Be the change you want to see.10|10|0
You dress like that and you think of a guy who can spend on you? Well then im sorry to tell you that most guys would be more attracted to you sexually and thats all... chilling out, we prefer girls with self respect, brains and humour.00|00|0
I was going to a party I don't dress like that all the time
Good.. now do you wanna go out with me? Im single:)
What Girls Said 3
it would be really easy to say the reason is because of how you dress... but guys treat girls who dress conservatively the same way. its 2014, there are a lot of guys who are asking girls to come over and chill instead of a normal date. it can happen to girls no matter how slutty you appear or how classy and elegant you appear.00|00|0
yes if you dress like that, men think about sex. But really it is mostly the guys you are choosing or attracting over to you.11|00|0
Its the way you dress, they think just hump and dump21|10|0
Then post a picture so we can see you without looking like that

Cantaloupes from Jensen Farms, Colorado
The definition of Listeria is a serious infection usually caused by eating food contaminated with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes, and is a important public health problem in the United States. It primarily affects older adults, pregnant women, newborns, and adults with weakened immune systems. And people without can also get this diseases.
Can be prevented if you keep your kitchen clean, cook meat throughout and wash food down with flesh fruits Stool samples are of limited use and are not recommended.
Listeria is treated with antibiotics. if people haven't been treated and haven't had any symptoms.Individuals within this group also have a higher risk for Listeria infection due to underlying medical conditions such as cancer and immunosuppresive therapy.
For symptomatic patients, diagnosis is confirmed only after isolation of Listeria monocytogenes from a normally sterile site, such as blood, spinal fluid, or amniotic fluid or placenta. Stool samples are of limited use and are not recommended. Can be isolated readily on routine media, but care must be taken to distinguish this organism from other Gram-positive rods, particularly diphtheroids. Selective enrichment media improve rates of isolation from contaminated specimens. You can expect that that the cultures will take one to two days for growth. Importantly, a negative culture does not rule out infection in the presence of strong clinical suspicion. Serological tests are unreliable, and not recommended at the present time.
People get listeria by eating food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Babies can be born with listeria if their mothers eat contaminated food during pregnancy. However, healthy people may consume contaminated foods without becoming ill. People at risk can prevent listeria by avoiding certain higher-risk foods and by handling and storing food properly. Commonly found in soil and water. Animals can carry the bacterium without appearing ill and can contaminate foods of animal origin, such as meats and dairy products.
killed by cooking and pasteurization. However, in some ready-to-eat meats, such as hot dogs and deli meats, contamination may occur after factory cooking but before packaging or even at the deli counter. Also, be aware that Mexican-style cheeses made from pasteurized milk and likely contaminated during cheese-making have caused infections.
Listeria can present in different ways. In older adults and people with immuno compromising conditions, septicemia and meningitis are the most common clinical presentations. Pregnant women may experience a fever and other non-specific symptoms, such as fatigue and aches, followed by fetal loss and meningitis in their newborns.
and is mostly found in the united states. people that are fast cooks can also get by if the food not all the way done. animals are more likely to get it by eating other raw animals. people like hunters are the main ones reported for it.

VideoAppliance Networking Range Delivers 10GbE Performance
: 21 July, 2010
(New Product)
High speed, robust 10Gb Ethernet networking now available for the physical security market with the latest upgrade to VideoApplinace from Intransa
Intransa has announced that its award-winning 10GbE IP technology is now available on its customer proven Intransa VideoAppliance product family. Intransa's Maximum Flexibility Server Appliances and Maximum Choice Security Servers now make use of the full power of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) to meet the needs of the most demanding video surveillance, industrial video and physical security projects, while providing unmatched simplicity, scalability and savings.
The addition of 10GbE technology to the Intransa VideoAppliance line enables higher speeds while allowing large, robust networks to support more connected 1GbE devices including IP cameras, access control devices, life safety systems and other physical security technologies that support 1GbE. The addition also supports direct connection with 10 Gigabit (Gb) infrastructure and network enabled devices for maximum throughput and reduced equipment needs.
"IT users found that 10GbE offers similar performance and reliability to more expensive, complex and distance-limited Fibre Channel SANs," said Alan Rowe, Intransa CTO. "Intransa expects that those same benefits will be leveraged by a growing number of physical security users with easy-to-deploy and use Intransa VideoAppliance platforms."
Intransa's four new Maximum Flexibility Server Appliances - the VA25as, VA25as-3, VA35as and VA35as-3 - ship with the customer's choice of leading video management software on preloaded media kits from any of nine industry-leading vendors. With the latest Intel microprocessors and the other technology enhancements, the Server Appliances offer enhanced performance, ranging from 1 to 154 typical IP cameras with a single appliance.
Also offering 10GbE speed are four Intransa Maximum Flexibility Security Servers, suitable for video surveillance, access control, life safety, video analytics, PSIM and much more. The new SR950, SR950-3, SR960 and SR960-3 Security Servers share the same advanced technology as the Server Appliances and provide 2TB of hot-swap, RAID protected storage. Each Security Server can expand its capacity further with Storage Appliances from the Maximum Flexibility line, as needed.
The full Intransa VideoAppliance family eliminates the need for commodity servers that are uncertified and complicated to integrate into a physical security environment. Each product ships with the choice of Microsoft Windows 7, Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or Microsoft Windows Server 2008 to meet standard corporate requirements and to provide flexibility to security departments that typically mix-and-match Server Appliances with companion Storage Appliances for complete, flexible and scalable appliance platform solutions. Intransa's individual Storage Appliances deliver 2 to 80TB of hot-swap, RAID protected & modular video storage.
Until now, both server and storage platforms have not been extensively tested and certified for 10GbE use and the unique demands of physical security. Intransa rolled out a formal, successful industry certification program for 10GbE IP storage products three years ago, the first of its kind. The program now provides for certification of 10GbE servers enabling a wide range of physical security vendors to make use of the power of the company's Maximum Availability video storage, Maximum Flexibility Server Appliances and Maximum Choice Security Servers for risk-free integration.
Intransa's 10GbE-based video storage platforms have been highly rated by technology reviewers, receiving both widespread customer recognition and industry awards, including Best in Show at Interop Tokyo. With today's announcement, the customer-proven Intransa VideoAppliance family, itself recently named Best in Video Storage and Distribution at ISC West 2010, now also includes 10GbE support. The result is an even more powerful yet still simple solution for physical security users.
10GbE joins existing 1GbE IP network support in integration with Intransa Video Data Management and Retention (VMDR) technology, the core "secret sauce" of Intransa VideoAppliance platforms. Other key features provided by VDMR and available in many Intransa VideoAppliance models include:
* Video Surveillance Optimization (VSOP), which outperforms commodity servers and storage for long-term storage and playback of video;
* Multi-Mode Support, which eliminates both commodity servers and supporting storage systems two-for-one with a single appliance;
* Quick Start & Non-Stop Operation, from setup out-of-the-box in just minutes, through to modular recording capacity that upgrades without halting operation or rewiring; and the
* Video Storage Administrator (VSA) console, which enables automatic setup and simplified, ongoing operation without the need for extensive IT expertise.
With compact, efficient designs that deliver 'greener' physical security, each installer-ready appliance also leverages VDMR technology to reduce the complexity and cost of integrating IP cameras, application software and other hardware to better meet the demands of physical security. Intransa VideoAppliance includes integration with the customer's choice of video management software from the industry's leaders, and has also been certified with hundreds of other proven physical security products for risk-free integration.
The new Maximum Flexibility Server Appliances and Maximum Choice Security Servers are immediately available for purchase by dealers and integrators in the United States and Canada through Anixter, ScanSource Security, Accu-Tech and the PSA Security Network. End user customers are also able to purchase Intransa VideoAppliance through a wide range of certified security dealers and integrators. Intransa products are also distributed worldwide through a network of authorized distributors.

Practical ideas for social, emotional and behavioral challenges
Ask your child to slow down. Remind her to take a breath after each sentence. Encourage her to retell the story using transition words, such as first, next, then and finally. Reassure her that you'll be listening to all of her words, so she can take her time and not feel pressured to rush through it.
"Sofia, I can tell you're really excited about the field trip you took today. But I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what you're trying to say. Let's try to slow it down a bit. I'll be sure to listen carefully."
"First, let's start at the very beginning of the trip. Tell me about the bus ride. Who sat next to you? Was it a long drive? What happened once you arrived there? Where did you go first? What happened next? Then what happened? What was the last interesting that happened? Wow, it sounds like you and your classmates had a great day."
"I'm glad you slowed down and told me the story in order this time, Sofia. Now I have a really clear understanding about your field trip."
Kids with learning and attention issues often find that their thinking runs a little ahead of their ability to describe something. Sometimes they worry they won't be able to remember what they want to say or that they won' t be able to get it out quickly enough. The result can be a torrent of words spilling out.
You can act as a storytelling aide and ask questions to help your child pace out the information. Your guidance will make it easier for her to relax a bit and share the details in a more organized way. Getting her into the habit of using transition words will help her express herself more clearly.
