Flooring Installation, Sales, and Service
The Flooring Pro Guys
It can be quite grueling finding the right flooring contractors in Highland, CA but it really doesn't have to be. We've winnowed through all the flooring contractors in the area and identified those that meet our high standards. The Flooring Pro Guys work hard to earn our reputation as the most qualified and trustworthy flooring professionals in the region. Here certainly are a few considerations you'll need to take into account when working with a flooring contractor.
Hundreds of options and samples to choose from!
Value Vs. Price for a Floor Installation
When working with a flooring contractor, most people aim to get the best quality possible considering their budget constraints. Always keep in mind that hiring the cheapest contractor will most often end up costing you more due to the poor quality materials used and the poor quality of the job. If you want to make sure that you'll have your project done only in one time, it's a good idea to not hire the cheapest contractor you could locate. Ensure you take the time to do some research on the variety of flooring types and their quality by going online.
If a flooring deal seems too good to be true, there's probably cause for concern. You should understand that warranty would only be met if the local contractor still offers the service. You should not attempt to do business with a flooring contractor that has gone out of business. If a potential contractor doesn't provide a warranty, ask if one is available, and make sure to get it in writing.
Local References
Asking each prospective flooring contractor for at least three references will provide you with what you need to make an informed decision. The flooring contractor that you work with should have flawless references. There are many of our customers who love our work and we are more than happy to introduce you to them. Simply ask The Flooring Pro Guys to put you in touch with customers who'll gladly tell you how pleased they're with our work.
To discover how the crew will handle treatment of your property, contact the given references from the flooring contractor. Be sure to ask how well they cleaned up their mess after the project was completed. A proper flooring contractor will have the ability of returning the house to the proper condition. Carelessness by a contractor in regards to property shows carelessness with the job overall.
A Professional Flooring Contractor
Something crucial to keep in mind, is to always see their liability insurance policy before working with a contractor. Licensed insurance companies only trust those contractors who are viewed as an acceptable risk, ensuring the service provider has a liability policy for protection. Working with an uninsured contractor would expose you to the possibility of financial loss in the event of an accident. The truth is that contractors who are insured are going to really pay attention to the little things because they know a lawsuit can cause their premium to increase.
Professional lettering or signage on a contractor's vehicle is a good sign that you are dealing with a respected flooring business. Don't forget that a pickup truck can be borrowed or rented from a car rental place by anyone. Make sure that if they do have a sign, the phone number is a local one. If there is a phone number on the side of their vehicle, you should call to observe how the call is answered.
A Quality Flooring Installation
Before you decide to remain in your home while it's being worked on, ask your contractor what you can expect in terms of mess, noise, and disruption of your household. In the event that you do not plan on occupying the property while the flooring project is occurring, your contractor should still have the option to construct a pre-project plan and present it to you. You will want to see the facts, timetable, and the plans for completion. Throughout the entire project, The Flooring Pro Guys guarantees that you will be taken care of.
An all inclusive explanation of the project from start to finish should be given when you're looking for a licensed contractor. Each contractor has his own style, some like to complete the entire task at once, while others prefer to tackle a room at a time. Flooring jobs can make a large mess, therefore you have to verify how the contractors will clean the mess made. The cleanup job after the project should be outlined for you after the project is complete.
It's A Messy Job!
Make sure to go over how the flooring contractor will effectively avoid possible clutter while the job is being done. Heavy plastic are used to loosely cover the room by professional flooring contractors. Reliable contractors use an overlap technique with the plastic, which creates the best barrier against dust. When the crew wraps your rooms in red "Men Working" tape, your home ends up looking like a crime scene movie set.
Attempt to find out if the quoted pricing covers the cost of plastic drapes needed to prevent kids from gaining entry into the unfinished flooring area. Exposed nails can be a danger to youngsters who aren't properly supervised. It's up to a professional flooring contractor to prevent such an injury. After all, you do not need to work with a licensed contractor that's going to pose a danger for your children.
A Professional Flooring Installation From A Trusted Flooring Contractor
Knowing his product lines from memory is something that every professional contractor that has had a flooring service for just about any amount of time should do. However, he should have a professional presentation that details each of the lines that he carries. A professional contractor should be in a position to tell you the advantages and disadvantages of each flooring description, and should be capable of quoting the price range from memory. If he keeps seeking clarifications, you should dismiss him.
Any contract presented to you by your service provider should be checked to confirm that your specific requirements have been included as you asked of your service provider. Make sure that nothing has been left out or changed, and that everything you and your service provider have already agreed upon is accurately captured in the contract. There should be no unanswered questions or unresolved issues at the point that you sign the contract. Legal terms tend to be put into contracts to confuse the person signing the papers. Make sure to have an attorney verify the contents of the contract.
On occasion, customers will choose a different path for the project altogether after the coating has begun. Though there might be an additional charge for the wasted time, energy and material used, it is often advised to use durable stain rather than poor quality materials. You will probably be living with your floors for some time to come, so it's vital to have the results you want. The Flooring Pro Guys want you to become one of their most satisfied customers.

Genji from Blizzard's Overwatch is armed with the mighty Dragonblade. If you've played the game, then you know Genji's blade is a force to be reckoned with. Man At Arms recently accepted the challenge of making it a reality, and the results are impressive.
They made the blade using state-of-the-art forging and traditional katana sword making techniques, and the final product even features a glowing sliver of plexiglass. See how it came together in the video below.

Antigenic Stimuli do not Influence Thymic B Lymphocytes: A Morphological and Functional Study in Germ-Free and Conventionally Reared Piglets

We have recently reported that thymic B lymphocytes (TBL) are the first B-cell subpopulation undergoing isotype switching to IgG and IgA during embryonic life. The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of antigenic stimulation on TBL location and activity using a germ-free (GF) newborn pig model, in which maternal antibodies and antigens do not affect B-cell development. Immunohistological analysis showed that TBL were disseminated mainly in the thymic medulla. There were no differences in the distribution of TBL, both in GF newborn piglets before and after colonization with Escherichia coli and in older conventionally reared (CONV) piglets. The number of immunoglobulin (Ig)-secreting cells measured by the ELISPOT method was not influenced by microflora and food antigens. IgM-positive cells secreting IgM and CD45RC-positive cells spontaneously producing IgM, IgG, and IgA were detected in newborn thymus. Our findings suggest that TBL differentiation and Ig switching to IgG and IgA-secreting cells is not influenced by external antigens and that the thymic microenviroment plays an important role in this process.

Truncating? It should be a rolling file, rolling over daily. You can just remove the old versions. Is this a stock tomcat, one from the ports, or maybe a particularly old one? The most sane approach would be to work with your developers to have some logging policy that both you and the developers can work with. You'll need at least the exception traces when Tomcat dies, or you're blind. But then, there is nothing like saving a few bucks in disk space at the expense of hours of blind debugging. :-) -- Kees Jan http://java-monitor.com/forum/ firstname.lastname@example.com 06-51838192 Human beings make life so interesting.

Hello, everyone!
I am brand-new to cakecentral.com, so please bear with me if I am making any newbie gaffes. Your patience is appreciated! I've been lurking for months and gathering lots of great inspiration - and now I'm hoping you can help me with a question that literally is keeping me up at night:
My husband and I are opening a small bake shop in eastern PA in a matter of weeks. I've conquered the health inspection process, local zoning and planning, purchased the equipment, hired staff, the build-out is nearly complete (and we're still married!), but I can not get my head around finding foodservice distributors.
My problem is that - until we grow a bit - I don't think I can meet minimum order amounts ($300-500) for the suppliers who service my area. Maybe on the first order, but after I stock up, I'm not going to need that much in bulk on a weekly basis except for flour, sugar, and possibly cocoa powder. I've settled on a local supplier for the dairy/eggs end of things - it's the dry goods that are driving me mental. I've checked out Sam's Club, but their costs are still significantly higher for flour than what a local food distributor can give me.
Does anyone have any advice on how a small bake shop can get around this problem? Has anyone ordered from a distributor and used their UPS option to avoid the minimum order requirement? If so, what are the UPS charges like? How do you solve the problem of sourcing high-end ingredients when producers like King Arthur, Valrhona, Callebaut, etc. only supply through large distributors with high $$ minimum orders?
I would be forever grateful for any insights! Thank you!
I buy bulk flour, cocoa, fillings, baking powder from Dawn Foods - but I use their will call and pick it up myself. If any of your distributors have will call, that may be an option for you until your biz actually warrants delivery.
Other things I get from CK Products or BakeryCrafts.
PS It was a little thrill when I bought my first 50 pound bag of cake flour and a 10 pound can of baking powder.
I use Best Brands and just dont order every week. It doesnt take too long to build up the 400.00 mim. I have found eggs, milk and butter cheaper at Sams. (btw, have y'all seen the price of sugar lately? OMG!!!!!!!! )
Yup..They said the price of sugar was gonna jump..Flour too here....Baking supplies have been expensive here for about 6 years now...I order my 80lb bags of icing sugar from Dawn foods and they have jumped from $35.00 4 years ago to over $80.00 now....Ouch!!
Thank you all for this information ... I've been online all day trying to find this information
@ALWardle thanks for this post
When I started serving food at my coffee shop, I ran into a similar situation. You would be surprised how quickly you can get to a $400 order. Make sure to look at their entire product line because bakery supply companies may also carry paper products that you can use. A couple of companies to check out are Bakemark & GFS (Gordon Foods.) Also, check to see if you have smaller food distributors in your area. I discovered a local company that didn't carry everything but were great at special ordering items with their next order. Because they were already going to get a delivery, adding an item that I wanted didn't add anything to their delivery cost. And their prices were still very reasonable.
Also, invest in lots of airtight storage containers. I personally like the large 5 gallon white plastic food container with lids. That way, you can buy in larger quantities.
Thank you all so much for the input! I'm so encouraged to know that my question isn't a completely ridiculous one, and by your comments about how quickly a shop can grow to meet the minimum order requirement. Phew!
Leah_S - Thanks for the tip about will call and the references to CK Products and BakeryCrafts. And I know what you mean about that little thrill - I still haven't stopped petting my new Blodgett Zephaire oven since it arrived last week!
Occther - Thank you for the recommendations on GFS, Bakemark, and the 5-gal. food containers. I have been trying to decided which containers to buy and I think I'll go with your idea.
I was going to say you would be suprise to see how fast the prices will add up, but everyone else already said it, and if your products are great you will need to order supplies every week, when I was in culinary school the chef ordered every week from Sysco, and another company named Quandts, and the culinary Class had a budget, I live in a small town.
For CkProducts.com, all you have to do is go online fill out the application and fax the required documents to them, your DBA, and sales tax Cert, and you will get an account # in a few days, that's all it took for me to get my account, and their min, is $125.00. Good Luck with your Business.

Bogut's ankle was seen on Friday and the surgeon said he was progressing on schedule.
"We're not going to set a timeline because it will be when he's 100 percent," Bob Myers said about Bogut. "It's more feel. It's his body, how his ankle is responding. ... (Ferkel's) not telling (Bogut) he can't do five-on-five. All he's telling him is keep moving forward and listen to your body."

I can't feel.
I can feel the soft sheets beneath me, I can feel the dirt, dead skin, and my dried bodily fluids. I can feel the ringing in my ears. I can feel the sunlight shining through the window hurting my eyes. I can feel the single pillow I have, harshly thrashed from long nights of trying to get comfortable, cradling my head.
But I can't feel.
From the other room a noise arises. "That's odd," I think to myself "nobody is ever here. Nobody even knows I'm in this room. This building has been abandoned for years." I contemplate getting up to check the noise. Instead I raise my head lightly, and open my eyes. In the doorway, for only a split second, I saw a cloaked figure. It closely resembled a shadow, but with oddly recognizable features. I quickly hid back into my pillow, first piecing together whether what I just saw was real, or if i was in a dream of some sort. Upon realizing that no, I was not in a dream, I then tried to figure out what I just saw. It did not take long before I realised it was the spitting image of my grandmother. Only she no longer had the soft smile that I had once seen her with, and she had dark rings around her eyes.
I look up to the doorway to see if she is there again, but I can only see the empty rooms that are the rest of the house. There is nothing here other than these sheets, this pillow, and my body. I came here nearly two weeks ago to escape. I wait here to die. I passed off the earlier vision of my grandmother as a hallucination. 'Yeah, that's it," I said "My mind is just trying to scare me into leaving, but I can't leave. I can never leave."
I wake up hours later, drenched in sweat, although I can feel the cold floor beneath me. "I must have shifted and moved the sheets." My mind stated, full of confidence. I scrambled for the blankets, but to no avail. After nearly 10 minutes of the constant struggling to find them, I finally decided enough was enough. I began to raise to my feet. I never knew such pain in my life, just from a task I before knew as the simplest thing in the world. Upon reaching the lamp at the opposite corner of the room, I switched it on. Somehow, hanging from the obsolete ceiling fan, were my sheets. I don't know if it was the lack of sleep, or the lack of food, but I thought nothing of it at the time. I pulled the sheets down, only to have my hand grabbed by a black, almost gaseous, hand. I felt the singe of flesh and cringed in pain before it dissapated into thin air.
"Escape from here." a voice whispered.
But it wasn't any voice. It was the voice of my grandmother once more. I wasn't understanding this. Before life had come to this I lived with my grandmother in Toronto, where she put me through school until one day I dropped out of college and moved here to Berlin. Three years later, I came to this apartment building that had been abandoned since before I was even born. I hadn't even spoken to her in that time, much less her know where I live.
That voice again. I hide my face in my pillow to not see the horrifying things that I have already witnessed.
"Escape now"
"Just let me die in peace." I think to myself
Suddenly a hand clasps my shoulder very painfully and rolls me over in my sheets. A very white face gleams at me, mouth unhinged, much like a serpent about to devour it's prey.
"GET OUT OF HERE NOW!" it screams, rattling my ear drums, vibrating my entire body.
I run to the hallway, adrenaline willing me to keep going. I need to do one thing, and one thing only. Figure out why I'm seeing my grandmother in this terrifying way.
I run to the nearest phone booth, thankfully a nice young woman was willing to loan me change to pay the fee. I place a long-distance call to my grandmother's home, and am met by the cheerful voice of my grandfather.
"Hello?" he answers quizically
"Grandfather it's me,
(REDACTED), are you and Grandmother alright?" I quickly rush to say
(REDACTED), it's so good to finally hear from you again! Yes, we are fine here! Where are you calling from? Are you in trouble?" He asks in a flurry of worriness.
"Yes Grandfather I am fine, thank you. I have to go now." I state clearly to him before hanging up the phone. I wanted out of this phone booth. People were gathering around me, seeing this very dirty, skinny man, who is obviously not well. I attempted to open the door, but it would not budge. I shook it, pulled it, pushed it, moved it in every direction I could in our three-dimensional plane. I attempted to break the glass at any side, but I could not muster the strength to do so. People were pointing and laughing, mocking and taunting. This is why I needed to escape in the first place. I then decided it was time to call the emergency services. I picked up the phone, put it next to my ear and waited for the dial tone to begin dialing. I was not met with a dial tone. I waited a very long time, only to hear that same, familiar voice again.
"You need to Escape"
That's when I woke up.
I can't feel.
I can feel the soft sheets beneath me, I can feel the dirt, dead skin, and my dried bodily fluids. I can feel the ringing in my ears. I can feel the sunlight shining through the window hurting my eyes. I can feel the single pillow I have, harshly thrashed from long nights of trying to get comfortable, cradling my head.
But I can't feel.

V-8 Soup
Recipe by twinsplusonemom
15 minutes to the table! Vary taste by what you have on hand. Many "cream of" soups will do: celery, mushroom, chicken with herbs. Also, veggies can be Pasta Accents (with noodles), leftovers or canned...whatever. Also, pass hot sauce for the adults and add whatever spices you like (basil, oregano, parsley, salt...) Although it really doesn't need any! I just made this tonight and we all had three helpings (including my toddler)!
Top Review by Andi of Longmeadow
Just so great, bravo! This is a fun, great, slurpy, good, fill you up, soup! We loved it! I didn't have any frozen veggies, so I used fresh lima beans, fresh cut potato, and fresh carrots, that I microwaved to cook, and then added them right into the soup just as the beef was done cooking. Might add some fresh tomato next time! Made for PICK A CHEF Fall 2012

Leaving a gift to the GI Cancer Institute in your Will and a legacy for future generations is a very personal and extraordinary decision to make.
There are many reasons why people choose to leave a bequest to the GI Cancer Institute. Each gift, whether large or small, makes a difference and enables cutting edge research into new treatments for patients with gastro-intestinal cancer.
"My reason to leave a gift in my Will to GI cancer research was very personal. My mother died of pancreatic cancer and my stepfather now has colon cancer. Two GI cancers that have affected my family. I have always thought about leaving something in my Will to an organisation, it is part of my Christian beliefs. For me it was a normal thing to do. But, of course it does depend on the person's circumstance and their worldview. It depends on whether you have practical considerations and whether you need to help children. But for me it is important to leave a gift in my Will to help the next generation." S Wong, NSW

Al'maiesh, the Cord of Hope, is the chosen weapon of Auriel. The cord is said to be a manifestation of her positive qualities. Pulsing with glowing runes from end to end, the long, serpentine ribbon can heal and energize those it touches. Auriel often draped the cord around Tyrael and Imperius during their many heated arguments, granting them clarity of thought and emotion.
In battle, the cord can be used as a whip, burning Auriel's enemies with rightous fire.[1] It can also be used to bind enemies, and leave chains in its place after being retracted.[2]
- In World of Warcraft, Al'maiesh can be found as a Legendary belt for Priests.

Letter from the Veep: The New Home Care and Hospice Conference Was Designed By You, For You!
New CMS Data Contains Wealth of Hospice Information
OIG to Revisit Potential Duplicate Medication Payments through Hospice/Part D
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
Late Friday, July 31, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the final hospice payment rule for fiscal year 2016 (FY2016); the final rule is available here: http://federalregister.gov/a/2015-19033. The rule is scheduled for publication in the Federal Register on August 6, 2015. Final hospice wage index tables are not included in the publication but are available online at: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/Hospice/Downloads/FY-2016-Final-Hospice-wage-index-.zip. This summary by the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) is an expanded version of the synopsis provided to NAHC members via its member listservs late Friday, July 31.
The overall impact of the final rule is an estimated net increase in federal Medicare payments to hospices of $160 million; hospice base payments under Medicare will increase an average of 1.1 percent over FY2015 (this amount takes both the projected market basket update of 1.6 percent and changes to the wage index into account). In April CMS projected the net market basket update to be 1.8 percent, but since that time has adjusted the calculations for both the hospital market basket update calculation and the productivity adjustment. Following is a table containing the initial and final market basket calculations:
Hospital market basket
2.7 percent
2.4 percent
Productivity adjustment
Add'l ACA reduction
Net market basket
1.8 percent
1.6 percent*
*wage index changes further reduce the impact on payment rates by 0.5 percentage points
Medicaid hospice rates, which vary slightly from the Medicare rates, will be released by CMS at some time in the near future.
A key element of the proposed FY2016 payment rule released in late April was the planned October 1, 2015, implementation of a two-tiered system for payment of Routine Home Care (RHC)—a higher base rate for days 1 through 60 of an episode of care, and a lower base rate for days 61 and subsequent days in the episode. CMS also proposed a Service Intensity Add-on (SIA) to the RHC rates that would be permitted for up to four hours per day during the last seven days of life when the patient receives RN and/or social work visits. As proposed the SIA would NOT be applicable when the patient resides in a nursing facility (NF) or skilled nursing facility (SNF). Additional NAHC analysis of the proposed FY2016 hospice payment rule is available here.
When the payment changes were proposed, NAHC expressed particular concern that the planned SIA—designed to help cover the higher costs associated with care needs in the last seven days of life while a patient is on RHC—would not be provided for patients residing in nursing facilities. Based on input from NAHC and others, CMS has revised the SIA policy to allow for the adjustment regardless of the location where the patient resides. NAHC President Val J. Halamandaris commented, "While we continue to review the finer details of the rule, we applaud steps CMS has taken to modify the SIA policy so that it applies to all patients. We believe that to do otherwise would deny patients equal access to care based on their place of residence."
Halamandaris continued, "We also strongly support CMS' decision to delay implementation of the new two-tiered RHC payment rates until January 1, 2016; this is essential to ensuring that CMS, its administrative contractors, state Medicaid programs, hospices, and vendors are fully prepared for these changes."
NAHC submitted comments to CMS on a wide range of issues addressed in the proposed rule; for additional coverage, please go here.
Following is a summary of the final FY2016 hospice payment rule:
PAYMENT FOR ROUTINE HOME CARE: As anticipated, CMS is finalizing the proposal to establish a two-tiered payment system for RHC, with an effective date of January 1, 2016. This delay in implementation from October 1, 2015 to January 1, 2016 will allow for state Medicaid agencies to make the necessary systems and software changes. Between October 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015, hospices will continue to be paid a single FY2016 RHC per diem payment amount ($161.89). Effective January 1, 2016, a higher RHC rate for days 1 through 60 of a hospice episode of care ($186.84) and a lower RHC rate for days 61 and beyond ($146.83) of a hospice episode of care will replace the single RHC per diem payment rate (the RHC per diem rates are listed in the table below). An episode of care for hospice RHC payment purposes is a hospice election period or series of election periods separated by no more than a 60-day gap in hospice care. For hospice patients who are discharged and readmitted to hospice within 60 days of that discharge, a patient's prior hospice days would continue to follow the patient and count toward his or her patient days for the new hospice election. CMS will not count the days between hospice elections as hospice days. CMS will calculate the patient's episode day count based on the total number of days the patient has been receiving hospice care separated by no more than a 60 day gap in hospice care, regardless of level of care or whether those days were billable or not. The patient's episode day count will include hospice days that occurred prior to January 1, 2016.
In order to determine the date of service in an episode when a patient is admitted to hospice care, CMS advises that hospices access this information through the HIPAA Eligibility Transaction System (HETS); to ensure that all hospice episodes available in the HETS system are returned, hospices should request a date 12 months PRIOR to the date of the request.
For billing purposes, when a RHC rate changes during a period that is shown as a single line item on a claim, the line item should NOT be split (if split, the claim will be returned to provider). Medicare systems will combine the high and low RHC rates for the applicable days in the total payment for the RHC line item.
CMS provided the following additional comments related to the new payment system:
SERVICE INTENSITY ADD-ON: CMS is finalizing the SIA proposal as proposed; however, CMS will include episodes in SNF/NF as eligible for the SIA payment. CMS is finalizing the SIA proposal with an effective date of January 1, 2016 in order to coordinate implementation of the hospice payment reforms, including the finalization of the new RHC rates discussed above. Finally, CMS will also finalize its proposal to continue to make the SIA payments budget neutral through an annual determination of the SIA budget neutrality factor (SBNF), which will then be applied to the RHC payment rates. The SBNF for the SIA payments will be calculated for each FY using the most current and complete fiscal year utilization data available at the time of rulemaking.
CMS notes that it did not include spiritual care counseling in the SIA because Medicare explicitly precludes payment for bereavement and other counseling as separate services. CMS has also indicated that in the future it will reevaluate whether inclusion of LPN services as part of the SIA is warranted. In cases where care by a RN and social worker is provided concurrently in the last seven days of life, both are counted separately for purposes of the SIA payment. Both new and existing hospice elections will be eligible for the SIA, and no additional documentation will be required in order to receive the SIA payment. The SIA budget neutrality factor will be applied annually using the most current and complete fiscal year utilization data available at the time of rulemaking.
FY2016 Proposed and Final Hospice Payment Rates*
Labor portion
Non-labor portion
Proposed FY2016 Rate
Final FY2016 Rate
651 -- Routine Home Care (10/1 - 12/31/15)
651/Routine Home Care days 1 - 60 (eff. 1/1/2016)
$ 188.20
651/Routine Home Care days 61+ (eff. 1/1/2016
$ 147.34
652 -- Continuous Home Care
$ 946.65 ($39.44/hr.)
$944.79 ($39.37/hr.)
655 -- Inpatient Respite
$ 167.78
656 -- General Inpatient Care
*hospices failing to meet quality reporting requirements will be paid 98% of these values; these rates are not wage-adjusted
WAGE INDEX: CMS is implementing the hospice wage index with a 1-year transition period as proposed, meaning the counties impacted will receive 50 percent of the rate from the current CBSA and 50 percent from the new OMB CBSA delineations for FY 2016 effective October 1, 2015. Due to the way the transitional index is calculated, some CBSAs and statewide rural areas may have more than one transition wage index value but each county will have only one transition wage index. In such cases, the CBSA number may not be used on the claim. Instead, a transitional wage index number must be used -- these are five digits in length and begin with "50". In FY2017 hospices will cease using the transitional wage index number.
The wage index rates for FY2016 reflect the full phase-out of the Budget Neutrality Adjustment Factor (BNAF), along with annual changes to the wage index values; the combined impact of these changes and the transitional CBSA policy have an overall impact of MINUS 0.5 percentage points on overall payment rates.
CMS also provided the following information in its response to payment-related comments as part of the final rule:
AGGREGATE CAP CALCULATION: The final rule implements changes mandated by the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (IMPACT Act), in which the aggregate cap for accounting years that end after September 30, 2016 and before October 1, 2025, will be updated by the hospice payment update percentage rather than using the consumer price index for urban consumers (CPI-U). Specifically, the 2016 cap year, starting on November 1, 2015 and ending on October 31, 2016, will be updated by the FY 2016 hospice update percentage for hospice care. This will continue through any cap year ending before October 1, 2025 (that is, through cap year 2025). The hospice payment update percentage has risen at a slower pace than the CPI-U. Therefore, it is anticipated that the result of this change is more hospices going over the allowed aggregate cap and by a greater amount than in the past.
2015 Aggregate Cap Value (Nov. 1, 2014 - Oct. 31, 2015) -- $27,382.63
2016 Aggregate Cap Value (Nov. 1, 2015 - Oct. 31, 2016) -- $27,820.75
AGGREGATE AND INPATIENT CAP ACCOUNTING YEAR CHANGES: In addition, CMS is shifting the cap accounting year for both the inpatient cap and the hospice aggregate cap to align with the federal fiscal year, which runs from October 1 through September 30. By the 2018 cap year the patient count and accounting timeframes for both the inpatient and aggregate caps will be the federal fiscal year (starting October 1, 2017 and ending September 30, 2018). The 2017 cap year will be a transitional year relative to the shift in the cap year. For the transition year (cap year 2017), for the inpatient cap, CMS will calculate the percentage of all hospice days of care provided as either GIP or Respite from November 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017 (11 months). Relative to the aggregate cap, for hospices using the proportional method for aggregate cap determinations, CMS will count beneficiaries from November 1, 2016, to September 30, 2017. For hospices using the streamlined method for the aggregate cap, CMS will count beneficiaries from September 28, 2016 to September 30, 2017 (12 months and 3 days). For the 2017 cap year relative to all hospices (using either the proportional or streamlined aggregate cap method), CMS will count 11 months of payment (from November 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017). Based on the FY2015 final rule, hospices are required to file a self- determined inpatient and aggregate cap determination five months after the end of the cap year. In accordance with this requirement, hospices must file their self-determined inpatient and aggregate cap determinations on or before March 31, 2017 for the 2016 cap year and on or before February 28, 2018 for the 2017 cap year.
Updates to the HQRP
CMS is finalizing the updates as laid out in the proposed rule. Those are:
For any such removal, the public will be given an opportunity to comment through the annual rulemaking process. However, if there is reason to believe continued collection of a measure raises potential safety concerns, CMS will take immediate action to remove the measure from the HQRP and will not wait for the annual rulemaking cycle. The measures will be promptly removed and CMS will immediately notify hospices and the public of such a decision through the usual HQRP communication channels, including listening sessions, memos, email notification, and Web postings. In such instances, the removal of a measure will be formally announced in the next annual rulemaking cycle.
CMS indicated these measure concepts are under development, and details regarding measure definitions, data sources, data collection approaches, and timeline for implementation will be communicated in future rulemaking. In this final rule, CMS summarized the comments received on the priority areas and responded to some of those comments. Overall, commenters were supportive of all priority areas except the claims-based measures. CMS commented that it will conduct continued quantitative and qualitative analysis to determine correlation between these measure concepts (claims-based measures) and quality of care. CMS agrees that establishing a relationship between a measure concept and quality of care is a vital consideration in the measure development process, and reiterates its intent to adopt measures that have been endorsed by NQF if at all possible.
Diagnosis codes on claims
CMS clarifies that hospices must report all diagnoses of the beneficiary on the hospice claim as a part of the ongoing data collection efforts for possible future hospice refinements. CMS believes that reporting of all diagnoses on the hospice claim aligns with current coding guidelines as well as admission requirements for hospice certifications. The purpose of collecting this data, which is required in every other healthcare setting as per coding guidelines, is to have adequate data on hospice patient characteristics. This data will help to inform thoughtful, appropriate, and clinically relevant policy for future rulemaking. In order to consider any future refinements, such as a case mix system which utilizes diagnosis information as a few commenters suggested, it is imperative that detailed patient characteristics are available to determine whether a case mix payment system could be achieved.
NAHC will continue to analyze the final rule and provide updates and commentary as appropriate, as well as continue to work to secure additional detail that will help stakeholders as the industry transitions to the new payment system.

Whether you want to believe it or not, Asian women who are interested in dating are actually looking for a gentleman who will treat them right. Are you that guy?
Even if you think of yourself a gentleman, some Asian women might not necessarily agree. Sure, you might be polite and charming, but the definition of a "gentleman" can vary across cultures. In fact, the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius played an integral role in defining social order and cultural bases, including how gentlemen should behave.
Let's take a look at the four traits of a gentleman in Chinese culture and see if you stand up to the test:
- Filial piety. Also known as "Hsiao" in Chinese, this trait is the importance of family connections. Confucius based much of his philosophy on filial piety, which puts an emphasis on sons paying appropriate respect to their parents, thus maintaining social order. A gentleman will not only recognize filial piety, but will also actively fulfill his duties.
- Benevolence. It is known as "Jen" in Chinese, and it is what Confucius said separated men from animals. It is also what separates a gentleman from normal men. If filial piety is considered the bedrock of being a gentleman, benevolence is the apex. He must be driven by a love of humanity and should strive to reach Jen throughout his life.
- Propriety. Known as "Li" in Chinese, propriety is another virtue all gentlemen must have. There are certain rules and etiquette of society that gentlemen must follow; they should know and respect the social order. A gentleman should act in accordance with overall social rules, especially when dealing with individuals based on their social status.
- Sincerity. Sincerity, or "Yi," goes beyond just being honest. A true gentleman should be sincere in all of his actions as it forms the basis of moral values and good faith. In China, a gentleman's actions are dictated by his love of virtue and desire to be righteous within his society.
How do you add up? Would Confucius approve?

I have been seeing a guy since November and we have been taking things very slow but I'm starting to think it will never get past the friends/dating phase at all. At first I was fine because I have a lot going on in my life and so does he so slow was good but he always avoids the convo when I start to bring it up. We see each other one maybe 2 times a week and rarely go out anymore. He is nice when we hang out but doesn't act like a guy would when he is really interested in a girl (saying sweet things, wanting to show her off ect) I'm not a high maint girl at all, in fact I'm more of a giver than a taker but I feel like I'm being taken advantage of at this point. Plus whenever I make a joke about being not seeing anyone else he just moves on the a new subject right away and never says anything. Am I just thinking to much or is this going no where fast? Thanks!
Will this ever get past friends/dating phase or am I being a fool?

That's a pretty long time to have been dating if he still won't even discuss/joke about commitment with you...
But did you guys talk about/agree to take things slow? If you did, then maybe he's just not ready to put a label on the relationship yet.
I guess what you have to ask yourself is: are you bothered that things haven't moved forward because you want to be in a committed relationship -- or are you bothered because it seems like he DOESN'T want to be in one with you?
I'm kind of in a similar situation myself at the moment! And with me, I'm not sure if I want to really be in a relationship at all, let alone in one with the guy I'm currently seeing - but I start to get frustrated/impatient if he acts like he doesn't either. It's pretty hypocritical lol but I suppose it just makes me wonder 'what's wrong with me if he doesn't want to make me his girlfriend?'
But if it's not just that for you and you DO actually want to be in a relationship or even if he's not really giving you what you want, then I guess you have to decide if you can continue waiting for him to say something or change his mind. If not, then I would say bring it up with him lightly - but firmly! you might need to wait until you're both sitting down or something and make sure he knows you're not just kidding. If you guys already talked about going slow then you could just ask him if he's ready to be a little more serious/involved (without making it sound clingy, lol)
But you could always just suggest spending more time together to gauge how he feels...
The guy I'm seeing always says cute things and sometimes jokes about 'us' but that's really as far as it goes. He's a bit shy though so I put it down to that :) it all depends on the person I suppose... if it's easy for you to be affectionate, it's easy to assume that everyone is the same - but some guys (and girls) find it difficult to say anything sweet/nice at all.
For me, I find it easy to be physically affectionate but sometimes it's IMPOSSIBLE for me to open my mouth and tell my feelings to people, especially if they haven't already done so. Maybe he just needs to be reassured that you really care about him :)
Anyway good luck! :)
