The return of the academic
The New Zealand electricity market is similar to Tolkien's hobbits: it may be small in size, but it shows others the way. This post describes its most remarkable features. Describing what is missing is often as important as characterizing what is there when it comes to understanding the organization and performance of markets.[1] We will therefore start out by presenting the basic structures in place, then the elements which New-Zealanders have thought best to leave out, before drawing some lessons.
1. What is there
The wholesale market is organized in accordance with best practices suggested by academic researchers specializing in energy (and plain common sense).
A strong, independent regulatory authority
The entire edifice rests on good governance. The Electricity Authority, (hereafter referred to as "the Authority") is responsible for the organization of electricity markets.[2] It is entirely independent from the government, i.e. the Ministry of Energy. Its mandate is clear: to contribute to improving efficiency in the electricity sector for the long-term benefit of consumers.[3] The budget for the Authority is approved by parliament every year, and financed by a tax on electricity sales.[4]
A consensus seems to have emerged in New Zealand: the electricity industry is a technical undertaking which is best left to professionals. The role of politicians is limited to ensuring the governance of the sector is adapted to the objectives. Unlike many others, elected officials in New-Zealand do not appear to feel the need for regular and intempestive interventions in the organization and performance of the electricity market.
The Authority sets the rules of the game but, contrary to regulators in most other countries, it is also responsible for managing wholesale markets. However, to avoid potential conflicts of interest, it is required by its statute to delegate this management to other entities.
The system operator is distinct from the market operator. Transpower, the owner and operator of the transport network, is responsible for operating the market. They are responsible for security, reliability and dispatch. The New Zealand stock exchange is the operator for the wholesale market, making a market platform available to participants, calculating and publishing prices using dispatch information provided by the System Operator. The market operator is also responsible for clearing, billing and making up the gap between predicted and actual consumption. EMS, a subsidiary of Transpower, auctions off and allocates the financial transport rights (presented below). The market operator is responsible for clearing and billing for these rights.
This separation between system and market operators can also be found in other countries (in Europe, for example). The unique feature of the New Zealand model comes from bringing together these two activities under one roof - that of the regulator, which sets the rules of the market. The advantage is that, in the event of problems, responsibility can be clearly attributed to one institution.
The market structure
The market is structured around four vertically integrated producers / providers which emerged after the break-up of the former public monopoly, and now meet around 80% of demand. Three of these four companies are 51% owned by New Zealand. Eighteen other retailers, in a variety of sizes and configurations (some of them vertically integrated, others simply retailers) serve the remaining 20% of demand.[5]
Transport activities, which were traditionally integrated within the state monopoly, have been vertically separated and assigned to a separate public entity, Transpower. The distribution networks are run by local companies, some of which are private while others are owned by local authorities.
Spot market
The wholesale electricity market is a "real" spot market, unlike the European and North American markets, which are "day ahead" markets. To understand this feature of the electricity industry, it is important to remember that thermal production, in particular coal power plants, is relatively inflexible. These types of plant cannot operate at 100% of capacity one hour and fall to 0% the next. For this reason, the electricity industry has traditionally broken down the problem of the optimal use of the means of production available (optimal dispatch) into two stages: i) determining today which production units will be active tomorrow (unit commitment), then ii) optimal use at every hour of active production units. The underlying mathematical problem is fairly complex, and has led to some important scientific advances in the field of operational research.
When the electricity markets were set up in the 1990s, most countries adopted an architecture structured around these two stages. In other words, for a given period, megawatt hours are exchanged and valued on two spot markets: the day ahead market, where the production plan is determined for every hour of the following day (thus solving the unit commitment problem), followed by the adjustment market(s) where production plans from the previous day are adjusted to take into account more recent information relating to demand and available capacity. The market architects thus internalized the technical constraints for the production units, and produced a replica of the solution previously developed by engineers for integrated companies. But this dual structure ("two settlements market") is complex. What's more, it opens up the possibility of strategic arbitrage between the two spot markets.[6]
New Zealand has the advantage of most of its electricity production being hydraulic. The "unit commitment" problem therefore only arises for a relatively small number of power plants. The architects of the New Zealand market chose a simple solution: a unique spot market.
Nodal Prices
The architects of the New Zealand market adopted nodal prices as the price setting mechanism for transport network use. This approach, which was developed in the US in the 1980s and 1990s, is based on a self-evident fact: the value of usage and the cost of electricity do not only vary over time, but also throughout space. At each point in the network (known as a "node"), the nodal price balances supply and demand; it also includes the impact of an injection or retraction at this node on congestion and losses over the lines. The transport cost between two nodes is simply the difference between nodal prices.[7] This technical and economic approach provides the most efficient solution for setting prices for congestion and losses throughout the electricity transport networks. In New Zealand, every half hour, between 240 and 260 nodal prices are calculated and used. At night time (low demand, no congestion) they are practically all the same. During the day time (strong demand, variable congestion depending on lines), they differ.[8]
Connected meters
Around 70% of residential consumption sites are equipped with connected meters which measure consumption at 30 minute intervals. What is unusual here is not so much the figure itself (Italy and some American states have similar levels of penetration), but the method. The providers, not the distributors, installed these meters voluntarily, because they believed the advantages which could be derived from them would outweigh their cost. Several companies competed for the contracts to install these meters.
Competition on the retail market
Entering the retail market is made easier by several factors. First, payments from providers to network companies and the wholesale market are synchronized with payments from customers to their providers, reducing the need for working capital.
Second, changing provider is a very simple and fast process, which takes 24 hours on average. This is possible for two reasons: a single database centralizes all the information for each point of delivery. Changing providers simply means changing an entry in this database. Second, with consumption measured every half hour for 70% of consumers, final billing issues are greatly reduced.
The part consumers play in the supply-demand balance
Like for all markets, efficiency requires users adapting their consumption to prices. They must therefore adapt to the wholesale price of electricity, which means transferring their peak consumption to off-peak times. Industrial customers in New Zealand are able to submit a demand curve in the dispatch algorithm, i.e. indicating that their consumption will be lower if prices are higher. Similarly, two providers now provide an offer for residential consumers where customers are billed based on wholesale prices.
2. What isn't there
A capacity mechanism
There is no capacity mechanism in New Zealand, and no plan to set up such a mechanism.
This is not an oversight, but a deliberate choice. In an electricity system based around thermal and nuclear power, the main risk is the combination of a dip in production and a very high peak in demand. Rationing is implemented in the shape of selective power cuts: power to some consumers is cut for a few hours, to "pass the peak". In a hydraulic system, the main risk is a dry year, i.e. a lack of water every five or ten years, which leads to a lack of energy. In this case, rationing takes the shape of a reduction in consumption for a week (or more).
The problems related to investing in peak production are slightly different: in a thermal system, peak production sources (which are also thermal), are operational a few hours per year on average (a little more during a harsh winter, less in a mild one). In a hydraulic system, peak production sources are active in dry years, and less or not at all during wet years.
Even though the details are specific to each energy mix, the underlying problem is the same: how to ensure that the system has the capacity to provide the levels of energy needed? In New Zealand, the answer comes in three parts. First, New Zealand has abandoned the technical-administrative criterion of "generation adequacy". By going from an integrated monopoly to a market system, New Zealanders went through a shift in paradigm: the technical-administrative criterion which structured investment decisions in the world of the integrated monopoly with no price mechanism is made obsolete, and has been replaced by the Value of Lost Load (VoLL), which indicates the value of scarcity.
Secondly, the Authority and other actors carry out studies into the electrical supply/demand balance for the next ten years. Market participants therefore have access to all the information required to make investment decisions.
Third, the Authority has developed a futures market where participants can trade energy blocks for the next five years, which contributes to financing future capacity. It also requires participants to report their exposure and coverage strategy for the coming years to their boards. In the event of a dry year, suppliers cannot ask for support from public authorities, on the grounds that they were unprepared. The public authorities would simply reply they had the time and means to prepare.[9]
Direct subsidies for renewable energies
There are no direct subsidies for renewable energies in New Zealand. Wind farms sell their megawatt hours on the market. It is true that wind power has a high availability factor in New Zealand - around 40% for land-based wind farms,[10] compared with 27% in the United Kingdom.
Some solar panels are starting to appear on roofs. They do not receive direct subsidies either. Each producer sells their energy to their supplier in a free market.
However, solar power enjoys indirect subsidies through network use rates. This is essentially variable and is expressed in $/MWh. Installing a solar panel not only introduces savings in terms of energy but also in terms of the price of electricity on the network. However, network costs are not reduced when a panel is installed. As the number of MWh is reduced and costs are constant, the rate in $/MWh increases. The other users pay a little more following the installation of a panel. Solar panels therefore receive an indirect subsidy.
3. What lessons can be drawn from these observations?
The challenge for all market architects is to reconcile management of the traded product's physical and technical characteristics with a need for efficiency, which requires the rules in place to be simple and transparent. In the case of electricity, market architects in North America and Europe have lent a great deal of importance to the first requirement, to the detriment of simplicity. Thus, we have devised very complex market rules, which try to follow historic practices as closely as possible, but which limit opportunities for new actors to enter the market (or make it more difficult for them to do so).
Broadly speaking, three models have emerged. In the US, the market architecture attempts to reflect technical realities as closely as possible: the spot market is centralized, i.e. all producers, suppliers and clients trade in a single market organized by the system manager (TSO), which operates the day before to resolve the "unit commitment" problem. Electricity prices are calculated for each node, to take into account congestion and loss in transport networks, markets are organized for different reserve and auxiliary systems. Increasingly sophisticated algorithms are used to define products which reflect engineering practices increasingly accurately. Very sophisticated capacity mechanisms make up the final piece in this architecture. In the end, the main difference with the old, regulated organization is that prices have replaced the dual values calculated using optimization algorithms at the old integrated companies.
Europe has chosen an intermediary model. Markets are decentralized. They are not organized by centralized national TSOs. These are only responsible for the adjustment between production plans -and transfer plans proposed by the markets (or demand-supply balance managers) and the physical constraints of the network. Like in the US, the day ahead market is the market of reference, which is supplemented by a sequence of adjustment markets. Congestion on transport networks between member states is taken into account by combining national markets but, unlike in the US, congestion within each state is ignored. Finally, like in the US, capacity mechanisms were progressively introduced to complete the system. These mechanisms are national which, in the long term, raises the issue of their compatibility with the principle of a single European electricity market.
In New Zealand, market architects have made different, and probably more judicious choices. Like in the US, they have adopted nodal prices, which take into account the reality of transporting electricity. They have made the choice to not take into account "unit commitment", which enabled them to have a single spot market. They also chose an "energy only market", that is to say remunerating producers solely based on actual production rather than capacity in place.
These choices were the result of technical characteristics which are particularly favourable to the New Zealand Electricity system, but also deeply-held convictions about the efficiency of competition as a means of allocating resources.
The Europeans and Americans (following the California crisis) have limited confidence in the application of the principles of competition in the electricity industry. They therefore found themselves in a vicious circle. Public authorities set the rules whereby markets operate. These develop over time, following changes in context, objectives or government. Industry actors therefore adopt a strategic behaviour faced with a changing a set of rules, to which public authorities respond with new, even more sophisticated rules, which are inapplicable in practice. This situation is profitable to consultants who advise public authorities and participants, and for researchers in the field of the economics of energy, who are kept busy, but it has led many observers to question the effectiveness of opening the electricity industry to competition.
New Zealand, on the other hand, has entered a virtuous circle by structuring the market in a way which favours competition and innovation. Public authorities – the Ministry[11] and the Authority - are committed to intervening as little as possible, and to doing so predictably. Participants adapt their behaviour to this environment and try to make a living in other ways than by demanding subsidies.
* * *
It is too early to tell whether this virtuous circle is sustainable. How will society and elected officials act in the face of power cuts during a particularly dry year? And how long will the government resist the calls for subsidies which, like the call of the ring, are extremely powerful? For the time being, the architects of the New Zealand electricity market, like the four famous hobbits, continue undaunted.[12]

[9] Like New Zealand, most of Columbia's electricity is hydraulic. The country is currently facing a dry year, following El Nino.

Furthermore, it would seem that the capacity mechanism in Columbia is not without its issues: http://market-analysis.co.uk/PDF/Academic/Britain'selectricitycapacitymarketfinal10April2014.pdf

"5yr old head injury"
About: The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (King's Lynn) The Queen Elizabeth Hospital (King's Lynn) King's Lynn PE30 4ET
Posted by Sharon Alton
after my son fell and hit his head badly resulting in headache, vomiting and nausea and signs of shock we had a paramedic advise that as earliest out of hours gp was 6 hours after incident (2.30am) to go to A & E. On arrival we were seen by an uninterested nurse. the til to wait unmonitored. after 3 hours, 12am, I decided to take my son home, as he was tired and back to normal self. as a courtesy I told the nurse who said I'd have to wait until he'd seen the doctor. She then just walked off. another half hr passed and I told her again I was taking him home, she then threatened that social services would be contacted and Id have to sign a form. absolutely disgusted that a child would be kept waiting this long completely unmonitored and then to be talked to and threatened. Thankfully I have no fear of social services, and keenly anticipate this phone call. I received no copy of the form I had to sign. Furthermore a child in the room had a rash and was interacting freely with other children of all ages. again, this child and the other 5 children had not been seen. absolutely appauled.
Response from The Queen Elizabeth Hospital 2 years ago
May I begin by apologising that no one has replied to your posting before now but unfortunately we have experienced some administrative difficulties. I am very sorry to hear that you and your son had such an unsatisfactory visit to the Emergency Department and that your wait to be seen was not acknowledged and you were responded to in such a manner by a member of staff. I will be passing your comments to the senior nurse and doctor in the Emergency Department to follow up but if you would like to discuss this matter further please do contact me either by telephone or email. I hope that your son is now fully recovered. Claire Roberts Associate Director of Patient Experience Tel: 01553 613459 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) vs. Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP): What Retailers Need To Know
What is Minimum Advertised Price? (MAP) In 2007, the Supreme Court ruled that manufacturers can work with retailers to set the minimum advertised prices on their products. Minimum Advertised Price, or MAP, is the lowest price a retailer can advertise a manufacturer's product in online ads or print. This does not affect the price at which a certain product can be sold, but only what they can be publicly advertised for. For instance, if you sell iPhones and Apple has a MAP of $699 you may not print an ad for anything less. However, you can sell the phone for… Continue Reading

String.Concat(context.Request.RawUrl, context.Request.Browser.Type).ToLower();
.GetVaryByCustomString(context, custom);
By default, the key for the different pages is the RawUrl. It turns out that for your case, the RawUrl is the same for both versions. We are also taking into account the browser type, since the rendered html could be different depending on the browser capabilities (Asp.net feature). You can add another key:
String.Concat(context.Request.Url.Host, context.Request.RawUrl, context.Request.Browser.Type).ToLower();
You wasn't dreaming ;)
I believe the following forum thread will provide you with the answer you are looking for - http://www.sitefinity.com/support/forums/sitefinity-3-x/developing-with-sitefinity/defaulting-enable-cache-to-true-and-cache-expiration-value.aspx
This happens because you use ASPNET as a caching provider. ASPNET doesn't have implementation for caching items in Images and Documents module - it's the native caching mechanism provided by the .NET framework (with some little extensions). In order to use the server side cache of these items, you have to switch to memoryCache, or use the Client Side caching - Client Side settings are located in the More Option section as well - "How long should the browser cache an image or a document?"
I agree on the documentation part.
We are taking different concept for 4.0 though - once we introduce a feature, we document it. I am sure that this will bring us good results.
Needless to say, let us know if you have need any assistance when you begin your implementation in the future.

The one and only Agera R and the fifth of five Cinque Roadster were parked side by side in beautiful multi-million pound harmony outside the London Hilton on July 18. They drew the aspiring gazes of all who walked past the hotel. Left outside for all to see the bespoke Agera R was covered in small bits from the tree behind as was the Cinque Roadster which suggests they'd been out for a bit. These gorgeous cars were where they belong, out in the daylight for all to see.

Last year, a slew of accidents took place due to smartphone and other gadgets blasts and explosions. Remember, there was quite a disturbance nationwide, when a Samsung Galaxy S3 exploded and left second and third degree burns on a teenager. Before that, the Finnish mobile maker Nokia (a brand now owned by Microsoft) was also the one amongst controversies for the BL-5c batteries that exploded.
Recommended : How to Enable WhatsApp Voice Calling on your Android Phone: 5 Simple Steps
The reason for these accidents, which impair people of their senses and sometimes end up in loss of lives is sometime the defect from the manufacturer's end, however, mostly it's because of the carelessness shown by an individual or the smartphone owner.
Recommend :Top 10 Smartphones Launched in India This Week
Maybe these incidents can lead you to take a precautionary measure and thus prevent your mobile phone battery from blasting. Hence, today GizBot has come up with a few methods that will make sure that your device keeps calm and doesn't explode. Take a look at the slider below:
Fake Batteries
Step 1:
Throw away those fake batteries that you bought just to save some money. Your life is costlier! Fake batteries may cost less, but they are one of the prime reasons for mobile dysfunctions and blasts.
Fake chargers
Step 2:
Now that you've done that throw away that fake charger too. (If you have one) These fake chargers, oil your battery by charging it in a most unlikely way.
Always remember to use the battery and charger -- same as the brand of the mobile phone. Stop borrowing chargers from friends when you're on a trip, carry your own.
Charging Precautions
Step 3:
An improper voltage supply to the battery can overheat it, thereby lead to an explosion. Avoid extended charging of your phone. Overcharging is not helpful in any way. Also, leaving your phone on charge overnight is the most undesirable thing to do. Avoid doing that.
Not Talking While Charging
Step 4:
Quit talking on the phone while charging it. You should adhere by it if you do want to land up in serious trouble.
Keep Water Away
Step 5:
Do not charge a wet phone. Water and electricity combined, are not a good friend of your phone.
Get Rid of Damaged Batteries
Step 6:
Replace your battery if it is damaged even a bit. Sometimes people ignore it which later leads to a catastrophe. (Especially if your battery has swollen up from the back.)
Follow the above steps to avoid any such accidents.
Batteries of mobile phones
The science behind Lithium Iron batteries
The batteries of mobile phones are made of Lithium Iron. These batteries suffer from a little problem that called "thermal runaway" whereby excess heat promotes even more excess heat which leads to the disaster. Because of this, they are equipped with a system that protects against overcharging and prevents hazardous reactions of the chemicals contained within. It is quite often said that even the inexpensive batteries produced by unknown companies are just as reliable as the original.
So follow these steps and stay safe!

This takk is about how the Greek lived their every day life
Hardships of traveling:They had trouble traveling because traveling over the mountains were hard because all the pebbles rocks and sometimes boulders were hard to travel on. And only the wealthy people could afford to travel on horses or oxen and if they ran in mud, their wheels would get stuck or pop off.
The Greeks farming challenges:They had a shortage of flat land which was hard for them to farm and raise domestic animals. They also had a shortage of water for their crops and giving them water. They had to search the mainland for other resources they need.
The Greeks started new colonies to look for new land and the first colony started in 1000 B.C.E. It was located Ionia in Asia Minor. And They had to take a long sea voyage to find a good location for their colony. They tried to avoid places where the local people might oppose the new colonies. Finally, they had to build their new community and make it successful.
At the top of the page are some example pictures of what the Greeks traded but they often trade grain,timber and metal. They traded among the city-states and in the wider Mediterranean area.

Pecan Crescent Twists
READY IN: 35mins
Recipe by southern chef in lo
These are easy--a quick little sweet to make.
Top Review by majakete
These turned out very nice, the mix of spices was really good. I used raisins instead of pecans and made it without the glaze because I didn't have one of the ingredients. It was nice, easy and quick. I also tried it with mincemeat, super easy for me and tasty for them. I guess the possibilities are endless... Thanks for a great idea!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1⁄2 cup chopped pecans or 1⁄2 cup walnuts
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1⁄2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Directions See How It's Made
- Unroll crescent rolls and separate each can into 4 rectangles, pressing perforations to seal. Brush evenly with 4 tablespoons of melted butter.
- Stir together pecans and next 3 ingredients. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of mixture on each rectangle. Pressing gently, roll up starting at the long side and twist.
- Cut 6 shallow ½-inch long diagonal slits into each roll. Shape into rings, pressing ends together.
- Place on lightly greased baking dish; brush the twist with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Bake at 375°F for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Stir powdered sugar and syrup together and drizzle over warm twist.

Executives at 20th Century Fox were huddled today to decide what to do about ''Phone Booth,'' a thriller about a man terrorized by a sniper, whose plot is a little too close to the killing spree in suburban Maryland and Virginia.
''All I can say at the moment is we are evaluating the situation,'' said Florence Grace, a spokeswoman for Fox.
The movie stars Colin Farrell as a publicity executive who innocently answers a sidewalk pay phone only to find himself trapped on the line by a sniper who has him in the crosshairs. Kiefer Sutherland plays the sniper.
''Phone Booth,'' directed by Joel Schumacher, had been set for a Nov. 15 release, but executives at Fox, a unit of the News Corporation, were considering whether to delay that opening, fearing that the plot would strike audiences as tasteless in light of the sniper terrorizing the Washington area. A decision was expected shortly.
Fox's choices are to delay the film's release until next year, send it straight to videotape and DVD release or release it in hopes that the story will not be overshadowed by reality.
Last year after Sept. 11, Warner Brothers delayed release of ''Collateral Damage,'' an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie about a fireman tracking down terrorists.Continue reading the main story

A Unique Program to Support Healthcare Research
A key component of FAIR Health's mission is to support the research that informs the way healthcare is planned, delivered and reimbursed. An independent, nonprofit organization known for the transparency and reliability of our medical and dental claims data, FAIR Health is ideally qualified as a research data resource.
For the purposes of our research support program, we define "research" as "a systematic investigation, including research development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge through the dissemination of findings via publication and/or scientific conferences."
Researchers and policymakers across the country studying patterns, trends and geographic disparities in service utilization and private healthcare spending have utilized datasets we assemble from the nation's largest, most trusted collection of private medical and dental claims data: The FAIR Health National Private Insurance Claims (NPIC) ® database.
Our multi-faceted research support program offers the data and advanced informatics that can create the dataset you want, in the format you need. For those who need additional assistance, user support is available to help guide your use of the data to achieve your research goals.
Find out how to apply to license FAIR Health data for research purposes.
If you have a question about using our data for research, please visit the RESEARCH FAQs page, or contact FAIR Health by e-mail at email@example.com or by phone at 1-855-301-FAIR (3247), from 9 am to 6 pm ET, Monday through Friday.

Data Uniquely Suited for Research Purposes
Meeting the highest standards for quality, geographical representation and scope, FAIR Health's data are uniquely suited to support health services research. We offer two forms of data products designed with researchers' needs in mind:
· FH Benchmark Modules. These benchmark products offer aggregated charge data based on 12 months of claims for medical, dental, anesthesia and HCPCS procedures, and more. Charges are arrayed by percentile for 493 distinct geographic regions nationwide. The mean, median and mode charges are also provided for each procedure in each region.
· FH National Private Insurance Claims (NPIC) Standard Analytic Files (SAFs). ). These files contain underlying claims data for medical, dental, anesthesia and HCPCS procedures from the FH NPIC® database. They provide a range of elements, including procedure code, service ZIP Code, date of service, non-discounted fee billed by the provider, and more. We also offer historical data dating back to 2002.
The following attributes distinguish and qualify FAIR Health data as an essential resource:
FAIR Health receives data from approximately 60 private payers, including health plans, insurance carriers and Third Party Administrators.
Submitted claims cover the spectrum of healthcare services, including medical/surgical, dental, Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC), inpatient, outpatient, HCPCS, dental, anesthesia procedures and allowed charges.
Upon receipt, all data are subject to a rigorous validation process to ensure they meet the standards for inclusion.
All contributors submit all data from every state in which they are active. Their submitted data represent each contributor's full set of claims for the submission period.
Contributors submit data on an ongoing, rolling basis. Our databases also include historic claims data back to 2002.
Pricing to Meet Your Research Budget.
The fees for licensing FH NPIC data are based on a number of variables:

Urgent Care Facilities: Geographic Variation in Utilization and Charges for Common Lab Tests, Office Visits, and Flu Vaccines
Dang, J., Okurowski, E., Gelburd, R., Limpahan, L., Iny, N.
Abstract: A common legislative response to high medical malpractice insurance premiums is to reform the tort system by implementing caps on non-economic damages awardable in medical malpractice cases. I use the implementation of caps in several states, and a panel of private insurance claims to identify the effect of damage caps on the amount physicians charge to insurance companies and the amount that insurance companies reimburse physicians for medical services. In most cases the amount physicians charge insurers does not change, but the amount that insurers reimburse physicians decreases. I estimate reimbursement reductions as large as 14.5 percent for specific procedures.

Abstract: In this article we propose that the standard model of stepwise demand for medical care may explain the regional variations in Medicare utilization and spending. Existing explanations of Medicare variations have been largely a theoretical and assumed that a region's private utilization and spending correlates positively with Medicare through a "signature style." In contrast, the stepwise demand model predicts that Medicare utilization and spending vary due to differences in Medicare's profitability relative to privately insured, even all else equal. The model predicts that providers seek to alter their payer mix in response to Medicare fee increases by increasing their privately insured prices to increase their supply to Medicare patients and reduce supply to the privately insured.
We utilize exogenous changes in service-specific Medicare payments in conjunction with a large proprietary dataset on private insurers' prices to test the prediction that changes in Medicare and privately-insured prices are positively related. Conditional on service and region fixed effects, we find that a $10 increase in Medicare fees from 2003-2009 corresponds to a $4.82 increase in prices paid by privately-insured patients and their plans. We also find that these positive relationships are widespread. Specifically, 86 percent of markets, 72 percent of the studied CPTs, and 87 percent of the CPT-market pairs exhibit positive relationships in the price changes for Medicare and private insurers. This suggests that the stepwise demand model may have power to explain variations in Medicare spending, although a number of additional predictions from the model remain to be tested.

Yet another reason as to why I do not attend any professional games.
Until Sprewell changes his name to Micheal Jordan or actually wins a Championship, I would tell him to get screwed.
How anybody can follow the NBA is beyond me...
''Why would I want to help them win a title?"
Because that's what you're getting paid to do you talentless loser.
That is the funniest headline I've seen in a while.
Me, I think that, if I really scrimped and saved, I could feed my headline on $13, maybe even $12 million a year.
Just how much can one family eat?
My grocery bill is only $700/month for a family of 6. We must not be eating right.
I used to watch a lot of basketball. I didn't watch more than 10 minutes of the NBA all season this past year.
Probably more like: "I've got a family to feed. I mean, who knows how many kids I've got out there!"
Sprewell = cancer
Thugball players ruined the NBA, IMO. I haven't had much interest since Jordan retired the 2nd time.
What's your family eating these days, Latrine (I mean, Latrell)? Beluga caviar? Chateaubriand? Gold bricks? Instead of bitching about how rotten you're being treated, how about working hard, living comfortably on a fraction of your inflated income, and GIVING SOMETHING BACK to your community?
You could be buying a load of books and computers for school kids in the inner city, but I guess that's too much to ask.
Sprewell has always been a jerk of the highest order.
There really is no reason to watch the NBA since they certainly don't play basketball anymore.
One day these thugs are going to wake up to find that the NBA has been taken over by European players who actually know how to shoot the ball.
I used to workout with Sprewell in the summers in Milwaukee Wisconsin at the local Brown Deer YMCA.
The guy has like 15 cars minimum and several yaughts--- he might not have enough cash to feed his kids after all the crap he buys
Why is there a thread on pro basketball? What a stupid enterprise, thoroughly bankrupt.
I have a fantasy NBA league at FoxSports. I've invited Freepers to join, but it appears there are no NBA fans left. The league is "Free Republic", and the password is "Freep". It's the free basic salary cap game.
I don't know how I could manage on as paltry a sum as 14.6 million,but I'd be willing to try!!!!!

A: For detailed instructions on how to care for this fur product, please see our Fur Care Instructions page: http://www.furhatworld.com/info/proper-storage-of-fur-hats/
Hello, I want one of your Beaver fur hats. My hat size for a top quality Austrailian felt hat is 7 5/8. Would you recommend a the XL or XXL, as both cover the 7 5/8 size. I am 66 years old and my hair is thinning. I am also unsure about the natural brown color or the black. I like the color black, is the dye long lasting - excuse my question, but I have never purchased a fur hat before. Best Regards ... Landon
A: If your head measures 7 5/8 this would fall under our size XL. If you prefer a little room and not so much of a snug fit, we recommend going one size up to 2XL.

Love the hat, got a black one to ho with my brown and gray ones. Super soft and warm. Many positive comments from others. Fast shipping was a plus. Not the cheapest hat, but that's the price of quality.

One girl is more outgoing, has told me I'm cute, will sometimes brush her hand over my arm or squeeze my hand when we're passing by.
The other girl is a little cuter but is introverted, but will always at least say "hi" to me and will smile and avoid eye contact when we're passing by each other, but sometimes will stare until I notice her.
They're both in the same social circle. They're coworkers and I'm quitting my job soon so I might as well go for one of them. Which one do you think has the most potential?
Most Helpful Girl
Well it honestly depends on who YOU like more and what type of girl you like. If you don't like an introverted or maybe shy girl who takes some time to open up, then you need the outgoing one who told you you were cute. you need to take in consideration your personality too. Because you could either pick the girl who's like you or the opposite, which could go great or not so great. We can't guess who you like more. There was a trick I saw once, like you pick one of the names from a bowl let's say and if you're disappointed means you wanted the other girl lol, but I don't know if that really works.00|00|0

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Karma's past is not well known All we do know is that the last owner had her chained to a tree and it was evident that there was neglect. She's approx. 6 yrs. old, well mannered and easy going. Karma would be great for retirees who have a quiet life and are still active. She is great with other dogs but was a bit testy with another large female Shepherd here but the other girls she is fine with. Karma is very sweet and loving and would love to snuggle with you on the couch and go for long walks. She's been getting lots of TLC while in the rescue to help her gain just a bit of weight and with the good nutrition she's also been getting supplements to make her coat soft and shiny and rich again. Karma is a nice dog who wants very much to have a family of her own to love.
If you would like to adopt Karma, please fill out an application on our website.
Each dog's adoption fee varies depending on the age of the dog.
$300 for any dog 1 year and younger (PUPPY)
$250 for any dog 1-6 years (YOUNG & ADULT)
$200 for any dog 7 years (ADULT SENIOR)
All our adoptable dogs are up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing, monthly preventative, and have been spayed or neutered.
Everyone must submit an application before an appointment is made to meet the dogs. Dogs are introduced to prospective adopters BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
All dogs are fostered in TN unless stated otherwise.
***Not able to adopt? Consider FOSTERING one of our four-legged friends***
Donations to help us care for all the dogs in our program are also greatly appreciated and may be made from our main petfinder page: http://IDGSR.petfinder.com
Karma, a Greeneville German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Greeneville, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Greeneville.

Uefa reduces Real sanctions
Uefa has reduced the Real Madrid sanctions following the dismissals of Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos.
Last Updated: 07/12/10 1:13pm
Some of the sanctions imposed by Uefa on Real Madrid following the controversial dismissals of Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos have been reduced.
The pair were found guilty of improper conduct last week after seeming to deliberately incur second yellow cards for time-wasting during a Champions League clash with Ajax.
The red cards received mean Ramos and Alonso will miss Real's dead-rubber with Auxerre this week, with Los Merengues already assured of top spot in Group G, and their previous cautions will now be wiped out ahead of the knock-out rounds.
Manager Jose Mourinho and goalkeepers Iker Casillas and Jerzy Dudek, as well as Alonso and Ramos, all received penalties, despite Real appealing against the initial rulings.
Uefa has decided to reduce the sanctions although some penalties still remain.
A Uefa announcement read: "Real Madrid are now fined €100,000 instead of €120,000.
"Coach Jose Mourinho is now fined €30,000 instead of €40,000.
"Jose Mourinho is now suspended for one match - Wednesday's Group G fixture between Madrid and Auxerre - instead of the initial suspension of one game with a second game deferred for a probationary period of three years.
"The fines handed down by the Uefa control and disciplinary body to the Madrid players Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos (€20,000 each), Iker Casillas (€10,000) and Jerzy Dudek (€5,000) remain the same.
"The one-match suspensions handed down to Alonso and Ramos also stand."

Intense rose smell
I bought it based on previous reviews on the lovely rose smell. The moisturizing effect is good but I felt that the rose scent was a tad too strong for my liking so much so that my colleague sitting quite far away can smell it! Amazing if you love rose scent!

Quite ordinary
Not a very impressive hand cream. Smells too strong, almost got strangled by my colleagues in the office when I used it. All of them hated the smell. Cream texture is alright though, not too greasy, absorbed into skin quite quickly. Will not re-purchase.

Easily absorbed
First got this as a sample that came along with my purchase. It took me quite a while to grow accustomed to the fragrance as it smells strongly herbal. But once I got used to the smell is actually quite alright. Functionally in not sure whether there are any spots which were lightened or prevented. But it does moisturise pretty well and is absorbed into skin easily. Probably not for someone who's very particular about the fragrance. .

Great scent, intense hydration
I have quite a few hand creams, but this one, when I tried it out, left the deepest impression because of the absolutely heavenly rose fragrance that I found totally uplifting. As a moisturizer, it works really well on dehydrated hands. Definitely a keeper!

Great moisturiser!
This is a great moisturiser. It feels moisturising but the cream gets absorbed into the skin quickly and does not leave a residue (which is something I really dislike). It smells nice, somewhat like talcum. My only concern is whether the packaging actually helps to retain the quality of the active ingredients since I could smell the product even before I opened the box. Other than that, I really like this moisturiser and have started to get into the habit of moisturising my hands because of it.

Retailers are trying to provide services in stores that consumers just can't get online, and for that, store employees become a clear differentiator.
Consumers don't see "channels." They are time-starved and information-rich, and use technology that they carry around in their pockets and purses to find the best solutions to their lifestyle needs.
Despite a resulting emphasis on data security and privacy, retailers find they have no room to pause while they secure their enterprises as tightly as they would like.
The only sure thing about disruption is that it will continue evolving at an increasingly rapid pace and in new and surprising directions. But for a last word, perhaps the industry should consider the following prediction from Nikki Baird, managing partner of RSR Research, on where disruption may be headed for 2014.
It's no secret that consumers are adopting mobile technology at a breakneck pace and integrating it into every part of their lives, including shopping. But while the retail industry generally understands that mobile technology CAN add significant value to both the customer experience and their own bottom line, it may not exactly know HOW or WHY this is the case.
Despite the uncertain economic environment, retailers are continuing to invest in green measures, according to a new report by RSR Research.
Retailers are continuing to invest in sustainability initiatives, even during tough economic times, according to a new report by RSR Research entitled "Lean and Green: Sustainable Practices Are Changing Retail, Benchmark 2010."
As the nation's retail vacancy rates reach decade highs, both healthy and struggling retailers...

Take this with a large grain of salt, and maybe even pepper, but a French notebook blog is citing own sources that Samsung's tablet lineup next year will include a Windows 7 10-incher with a physical keyboard. The name of the slate is supposed to be Samsung Gloria, but we didn't quite grasp if that's for the tablet itself, or a new line of those.
Now it sounds like a perfect solution for a non-touch optimized full-fledged operating system like Windows 7 to just include a hardware keyboard and mouse pad on the side, but for handling and thumb-typing this way on a 10-incher we can imagine all sorts of issues. Anyway, there is an artist's rendering of the Samsung Gloria, and the source also states that Samsung will be having its custom UI overlay on top of Win7. Well, at least Flash (or any software, for that matter) won't be an issue, and you won't have to use your pinky to close off a window. The tablet is supposed to come in the Spring of 2011. It doesn't hurt to try, Samsung.
