I always appreciate more carefully thought out material about dealing with our transience as agents. I suggest to improve the formatting of the list at the end, as that is key information. Formatting it as a classic numbered/lettered list seems appropriate, i.e.
(A) Short enough that you will actually do it.
(B) Short enough that the person at the end, doing it, will still be you in the significant ways.
(C) Having enough emotional feedback that your motivation won't be capsized before the end. and
(D) Such that others not only can, but likely will take up the project after you abandon it in case you miscalculated when you'd change, or a change occured before expected time.
D seems related to proofing projects against partially-hostile agents (including ourselves). I'm interested in expanding on this. I suspect the same strategy employed by diplomats has a large part to play: Cultivate valuing human universal values, and ground the project solidly on them. Keep other people well informed so they can be an extra set of eyes to possibly notice changes in direction.
I also think you probably want to change these:
an ontology of selves which had variegated sized selves
we now have a glowing community of people hopefully becoming better at becoming better, and making the world a better place in variegated ways.
While that's artistically amusing, I believe you mean 'various' in both those cases (or 'various' in the first and 'varied' in the second).

text: (The following statement was released by the rating agency) CHICAGO, May 26 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has affirmed Interconexion Electrica S.A. E.S.P.'s (ISA) foreign and local currency Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) at 'BBB'. Fitch has also affirmed Interconexion Electrica's local bonds listed at the end of this release at 'AAA(col)' and 'F1+(col)'. The Rating Outlook is Stable. ISA's ratings reflect the low business risk profile of the company, which is a characteristic of the power transmission business. The ratings also incorporate the geographic diversification of the company's cash flow generation. Also factored in the ratings are the company's stable and predictable cash flows and robust liquidity levels, which in turn translate into a strong financial profile. ISA's ratings incorporate the expectations that the company will be able to complete the aggressive capital expenditures scheduled for the next few years and maintain credit metrics consistent with the rating category. KEY RATING DRIVERS Low Business Risk ISA's ratings reflect the company's low business risk profile supported by its regulated income and natural monopoly position in the countries in which it has operations. During 2014, 70% of the total revenues of the company on a consolidated basis came from its energy transmission business unit, located in Colombia, Brazil, Peru and Bolivia, which performs as a natural monopoly and it is not exposed to demand risk. The company maintains its lead position in the energy transmission in South America, with 41,650 km of circuits in operation. In Colombia, ISA controls 79.6% of the National Transmission System and it is the only operator with national coverage. In Colombia, regulated tariff for the energy transmission system is reset every five years. In February 2015, the Colombian energy regulator (CREG) issued a regulatory proposal to review the remuneration mechanism of the transmission activity, which is still in revision by the market participants. Historically, all regulatory entities in Colombia have been independent from central government and have provided a fair and balanced framework for both companies and consumers. Therefore, Fitch considers regulatory risk as low. Fitch will review the potential changes of the tariff mechanism once it is determined, and any implication on ISA's cash generation. Predictable Cash Flow Generation ISA's cash flow generation is predictable, supported by the regulated nature of its main sources of revenues. The strong cash flow from operation of the company has been reflected in a positive free cash flow (FCF) generation in the last years. In the medium term, Fitch expects the company will face pressures in FCF in the next two years because of the increasing capital expenditures requirements, as the company and its subsidiaries were awarded projects that involve investments of approximately USD 1.2 billion and will imply the construction of 1,680 km of additional high voltage circuits. Adequate Credit Metrics ISA has an adequate financial profile, which is characterized by solid cash flow generation, moderately debt levels and robust interest coverage. During 2014 on a standalone basis (at the holding company), ISA reported financial debt of COP 1,384 billion while individual EBITDA was COP 667 billion, which implies a leverage ratio of 2.1x. This ratio is considered strong for its rating level. ISA's consolidated credit metrics continued to be affected by the increase in debt following the company's acquisition of Intervial in Chile and its concessionaries and the EBITDA reduction of its subsidiary in Brazil, due to the early renewal of its energy transmission concession. The company is still discussing with the Brazilian regulator about the amount of the final compensation and the terms of payment for the existing assets of the former concession. At year-end 2014, consolidated adjusted debt was COP 10.2 trillion, including the obligation of the repurchase of preferred shares in Brazil, resulting in a gross leverage ratio of 4.6x. Ratings incorporate the expectation that leverage levels on a consolidated basis will remain between 4x to 4.5x in the medium term. Strong Liquidity Position ISA's liquidity is considered strong and is characterized by healthy cash on hand levels, manageable debt amortization and adequate access to local and international capital markets. At the end of 2014, ISA had approximately COP 1,899 billion of consolidated cash on hand, and COP 809 billion of consolidated short-term debt. ISA's maturity profile is manageable, as its long-term debt amortization schedule is spread between 2014 and 2041. ISA's short-term debt represented 8.6% of total debt at the end of 2014. In the medium term, ISA's liquidity position is expected to remain solid as a result of the company's stable cash flow generation and its proven access to long-term financing under adequate conditions. KEY ASSUMPTIONS Fitch's key assumptions within the rating case for the issuer include: --Revenues incorporate new projects awarded by the company that started their construction phase in 2015 --Capital expenditures increase reflect the construction stage in the new projects awarded by ISA and its subsidiaries. --ISA obtained long term financing to partially fund the increase in capital expenditures --Leverage levels remain between 4x to 4.5x in the medium term RATING SENSITIVITIES Fitch considers a positive rating action unlikely in the near term. However, a sustainable consolidated leverage below 3.0x, coupled with maintaining a stable and predictable cash flow generation profile could lead to a Positive Rating Outlook or upgrade. The main factors that individually or collectively could lead to a negative rating action are: --A sustained increase in leverage above 4.5x on a consolidated or non-consolidated basis, as a result of a progressive deterioration in its cash generation or high debt requirements increase debt levels above Fitch's base case scenario; --Significantly negative regulatory changes that impact the financial performance of the company could result in a negative rating action. FULL LIST OF RATING ACTIONS Fitch affirms ISA's COP 3.5 trillion local bonds and commercial paper program as follows: --COP$3.3 trillion bond program at 'AAA(col)'; --COP$200 billion commercial paper program at 'F1+(col)'.

Music on Sites
Posted 22 November 2003 - 03:16 PM
Not for download but just made available for listening.
Is this riding the edge of copyright? Or no problem?
Posted 22 November 2003 - 06:09 PM
Virgin radio has a do-hicky that you can put on your site to let visitors listen to their Internet radio stream - that might let you offer music without the worries.
Do you think people will really use the music?
Posted 22 November 2003 - 06:26 PM
There are a number of things I do know:
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is pretty serious about Piracy. From their web site:
Online piracy is the unauthorized uploading of a copyrighted sound recording and making it available to the public, or downloading a sound recording from an Internet site, even if the recording isn't resold. Online piracy may now also include certain uses of "streaming" technologies from the Internet.
Their lawsuits are targeting people who would never expected to be sued by some of the largest and wealthiest corporations on the face of the earth.
It isn't copyright infringement if you have permission, and getting permission often costs money. You're not really sending music out as if you're an internet radio station, but they may see this as applying to you, too. The RIAA's web site discusses webcasting in a FAQ that's pretty informative. It's at:
If you have a number of songs created and performed by other people, and you're concerned about the copyright holders, you might want to look into webcasting requirements.
Radio Stations don't have to pay recording copyright owners. Why should Web site owners? That question is asked and answered in the FAQ. I'm not sure that it's a very good answer.
The Radio and Internet Newsletter stays on top of legal issues involved with music on the internet.
Keep in mind that there are quite a few people who disagree with the RIAA. But, a copyright infringement defense could be pretty costly to maintain.
It's a shame, Jon.
There are songs on the web that are in the public domain. There are others from people who might give permission without having to pay.
You can find a number of artists (possibly into the thousands) who have songs on their sites. They might not mind your putting their songs on your site if you ask first.
Posted 22 November 2003 - 07:26 PM
They're not taking the music with them, the music remains where it is. No one is making money off of it, no ad's are being sold, and no one leaves with any copies.
Posted 22 November 2003 - 07:46 PM
There's a very real possibility that someone would come across your site and listen to a song that they hadn't heard before, and actually go out and buy the CD. I could see that happening.
But what the Recording Industry seems to be thinking is that if the milk is free, no one will ever buy the cow. No one will purchase CDs if we let copies of them stream from anywhere on the web. Well damn! Turn on your radio, record executives. The songs are there. No one is stopping anyone from taping them, either.
From an excellent article by Jonathan Zittrain, The Copyright Cage covers the mess that is copyright law.
Recall the reaction of the Motion Picture Association of America to the prospect of a VCR. "The VCR is to the American film producer . . . as the Boston Strangler was to the woman alone," warned Jack Valenti, the president of the powerful group. In the now-famed Sony case of 1984, the U.S. Supreme Court held in a 5-4 decision that the VCR was not an illegal instrument of contributory copyright infringement. Valenti to this day rues the loss despite the staggering revenues gleaned from video rentals ever since.
Here's another:
Attempts to reconcile the colliding regimes of statute and practicality, law and life, have been hamfisted at best. A formal report by a commission chartered by the British Patent and Trademark Office suggests, without a trace of self-consciousness, that we encourage schoolchildren to include the © symbol on all their homework.
It also discusses the webcaster issues.
Posted 22 November 2003 - 09:27 PM
"The lawTitle 17 of the federal codeproscribes such acts as the public performance of music without payment to the composer......"
That's funny because most musicians out there that are being protected by todays copy right laws probably started out in small groups or bands playing "other" people's music.
What's next, are the small garage/bar bands going to have to start paying royalties for every song they play that's not their own creation.
Posted 22 November 2003 - 10:22 PM
I think that's the issue. Your home is not "public", and so playing a video for friends is not an issue.

Good one, Diane!
What's next, are the small garage/bar bands going to have to start paying royalties for every song they play that's not their own creation.
We'd see quite a few less cover bands. Think about all the people who do sampling, too. There have been quite a few legal battles over that, when the "samples" are recorded.
Posted 14 September 2006 - 12:44 PM
I did a search and just found this post from 3 years ago.
I just want to confirm what Bill said and that it's still relevant.
It is NOT OK to put music on your site without permission and paying royalties.
I just hung up from a potential DJ client who already has music on his site.
He wants a form on his site so the bride and groom can choose online what music they want to play.
For ex. for the First Dance there will be a list of 20 songs and you can hear each song before you choose it.
I asked him where this music is coming from and he said that he uploaded all of the songs to his server and that he found out that it's OK to do this. (I think his prior web designer told him it's OK.)
So, based on this post, I can feel pretty confident telling him that it's illegal to do this and that I couldn't work for him if this is what he wanted, right?
Posted 14 September 2006 - 03:09 PM
Risa, it means seek genuine legal advice for the laws in the jurisdiction involved really. Here there's little doubt it is illegal.
Posted 14 September 2006 - 03:34 PM
If money is an issue, and it could easily become so, an alternative would be to point to places on the web where said songs or samples are already available. Amazon.com features "previews" of various tracks while Rhapsody, an online music service (US only), comes with 25 free songs/month.
Posted 14 September 2006 - 08:58 PM
Posted 14 September 2006 - 11:28 PM
While their approach, through RIAA and directly, is pretty stupid in my mind, they are on solid legal ground.
They are actively searching for violations - even small ones that make little sense monetarily - and they are not taking prisoners. The strategy is to build case law in their favor and to change the mindset people have that music is free to distribute.
I especially wouldnt risk it on any site site that generates any kind of business

Besides being some of the most caring and loving people you will ever come across in this world, grandmas can also be funny and extremely cool in their own unique way. Place your grandmother in the passenger seat of a Nissan GT-R with more than 700-horsepower and take her for a shotgun ride, and you could end up with this adorable scene.
YouTuber Duskin Terteling explains: "I gave my grandma a ride in my GT-R for the first time and she had no idea I was filming because I hid the camera. Needless to say her reaction was priceless!"
The most memorable moment was when Terteling's grandmother asked him if the GT-R was similar to "Joey's car, the Prius". Well, she soon had the answer to that one – and we don't mean at the gas pump but on the road…

Does anyone know what is going on with this Asian market in Plano? I live down the street and for the last few months their shelves are getting emptier and they are not restocking. I have asked a couple of times if they in going to remodel or if they are going out of business.
I seem to always run into someone with limited or no English so I can't get a straight answer. Just curious to know if anyone knows what's going on with them.

Sundevil standout
Mt. Carmel senior Grant Schenk looks to further rewrite his school's record book before heading to Auburn for college swimming. Last season, he surpassed the Sundevils marks set in 1988 by future Olympian Lars Jorgensen in the boys 200 free (1:38.82) and 500 free (4:24.99) with a boost from competing in the 2012 Olympic Trials. Schenk is going for his third straight Division II title in the 500.
Liam vs. Liam
Each is named Liam, and each is a top boys freestyle swimmer. Rancho Bernardo senior Liam Semple and La Costa Canyon junior Liam McCloskey figure to duel again in the Division I meet. Semple won the 200 free (1:39.01) ahead of McCloskey last season and also took the 500 free (4:29.80), while McCloskey prevailed in the 100 free (46.30). This is Semple's farewell season before going to Fordham.
Going the distance
El Camino senior Scott Clausen, bound for USC, is used to going great distances. He's a member of the Junior National Open Water Team this school year, and in 2012 he swam the 1,500-meter free at the Olympic Trials. On the high school scene, he returns after winning the 100 back (53.09) and finishing third in the 500 free (4:30.64) in the Division I boys section meet last season.

Amelia considers more involvement with seniors
During the meeting of the Amelia Village Council Monday, Jan. 4, Mayor Leroy Ellington suggested that one of the newly elected council members may want to serve as a liaison on the commission for senior citizen support.
"We have been reaching out to senior citizens in Amelia with the Senior Support Commission since 2008," said Ellington. "We have been working with the Amelia Police Department and Union Township Fire Department on this commission. My wife, Melita, is the chair of the commission. I feel that this needs to be a village sanctioned commission with more involvement by the village council."
Ellington noted that Amelia Police Chief Jeff Sucher had implemented the Safer Seniors Program, which involves an occasional visit or phone call to check on area seniors who live alone.
Ellington said the program also involves a self-defense program for seniors and the Union Township Fire Department has been doing blood pressure checks and CPR training.
"If anyone knows someone who needs information about the Safer Seniors Program, please notify the village so we can contact them," said Chief Sucher.
"This commission offers social and community involvement opportunities for our senior citizens," said Ellington. "We have a movie night and they are involved in putting together boxes to be sent to our troops serving overseas."
In addition, the group is working in conjunction with Clermont County Senior Services, according to Melita Ellington.
"Amelia Crossing is a prototype that is being looked at by Clermont County Senior Services as a way to connect with senior citizens," said Melita Ellington. "We have been partnering with Clermont County Senior Services and are under their umbrella with many of the programs such as Meals on Wheels. We recently met with UC Clermont to partner with them. It is important that young people learn how to communicate with senior citizens. We are also involved in the cooking show on Union Township Television."
She said that there were many opportunities to expand what they are currently doing. She also said that the needs are growing more each year. She noted that often seniors just need help with minor repairs around the home and volunteers are always welcome.
Leroy Ellington said that building good relationships with senior citizens is important for the village.
"Many times people are fearful of complaining to their landlord if there is a problem in their apartment or house," Leroy Ellington said. "Sometimes a call from the mayor or police chief is all that is needed to make a difference in the lives of people. We want to connect with people in the village who need help."
For more information about signing up a senior citizen for the Safer Seniors Program, call the village office at (513) 753-4747 or visit their web site to fill out the form online at www.ameliavillage.com/pdfs/SaferSeniorsForm.pdf.

Enter your email for a FREE Seed Starting Guide!
Start your seeds like a pro with our seed starting guide!
Growing Potatoes In Containers is great fun. This simple way of growing potatoes can be done on the patio, on balconies or backyard. You don't need a garden to do this. Harvest loads of delicious tubers from a potato planter.
Growing potatoes in pots has loads of advantages. You don't have to dig, worry about soil-borne pests and harvesting is easy. You can grow potatoes in pots even if you don't have much of a garden.
Containers: plain plastic pots do the trick. The minimum pot size is 12 inches diameter and minimum 15 inches deep. Make sure they have drainage holes at the bottom. You can also use these handy potato planters that will allow you to grow even more potatoes in a small space.
Potting soil: Get a good quality potting compost. I prefer to mix it with well rotten farmyard manure because potatoes like a lot of organic matter in the soil. A mix of 50% potting soil and 50% farmyard manure works very well.
Organic fertilizer: Add a couple of handful organic fertilizer into each pot. This will ensure healthy and vigorous plant growth and a good crop. Feed again after five or six weeks.
Seed Potatoes: Get healthy and good quality seed potatoes . Chit (sprout) the potatoes for a couple of weeks in a bright spot. Egg cartons are very useful for this purpose.
Step1: Prepare your soil mix. I prefer to use a half and half mix of potting soil and farmyard manure. Good garden centers will stock pre-packed farmyard manure. Alternatively use an organic potting soil mix.
Step 2: Fill the pot with the potting mix about 3-4 inches high. Depending on pot size put in 3-5 seed potatoes.
Step 3: Cover them with the potting soil and manure mixture. Add a couple of
handful organic fertilizer and mix it well into the soil. Don't
fill the pot up
to the top yet. Leave 3-4 inches to the rim of the pot. Water them in well and keep the soil slightly moist all the time (not wet!).
Step 4: Once your potatoes have grown to about an inch over the rim fill the pot up with more potting soil. This will prevent the new potatoes on top from going green.
Water your potatoes in well after planting and keep the soil moist
Step 5: Now...watch your potato plants grow! Make sure that they don't dry out. Regular watering is a must. Add a bit more of the organic fertilizer after five or six weeks.
Once the plants are flowering your potatoes are ready! They are at their absolute best if you harvest them just before you want to cook them!

I would choose a variety that produces a medium-sized to small potatos for containers. A shorter maturation time is also preferable for pots. Nearly all early or second-early varieties should be good.
Here are a few suggestions:
The Rose Finn Apple Fingerling Potato is great for roasting or mashed. Great flavour.
Yukon Gold is a great all round potato full of flavour. Yellow skin and flesh. High yielding variety.
Rio Grande Russet is a salad potato of great quality that keeps well. Moist, white flesh. Also great for chipping or slicing.
This is a very elegant way of growing potatoes in containers. You can produce a bumper crop of delicious potatoes on less than a square yard!
These sturdy fabric potato bags have velcro on the side and can be opened on the side. This will allow you to carefully harvest just the potatoes you need keeping the other ones fresh and growing!
The fabric is air and water permeable. This allows a process that is called air-pruning. The roots will spread out much better than in ordinary plastic pots resulting in healthier plants and better crops.
How it works..
Fill the planter with 6 inches of the potting-manure mixture and plant your seed potatoes about 2 inches deep. Once they are about six inches tall fill in more soil and plant some more potatoes on top. Cover them with 2 inches of soil again. Repeat this process until the potato planter is full. Don't forget to add some organic fertilizer with every layer.
Once your plants flower it is time to check for the first potatoes! Open the velcro at the side of the planter. Remove the ones that are large enough and enjoy your first crop!

Where I got the book: bought retail at an author event.
A Royal Pain is the second in the Royal Spyness series, set in the 1930s and starring Lady Georgiana, who is 34th in line to the British throne and thus has access to the Palace and the upper echelons of society.
Unfortunately, Georgie is flat broke but can't reveal the fact due to her social position, so she sneaks around London doing cleaning jobs for money. When the Queen orders her to take in a young German princess for a while, Georgie has to scramble to come up with the necessary servants and a suitable wardrobe for herself. Throw in a murder or two, a romantic interest and a whole series of intrigues, and she's kept pretty busy.
This book is a romp. I found it a little flat sometimes, but there was generally something funny coming along soon. It has elements of farce, and the Sloane Ranger tone (think Princess Di) of Georgie and her friends was spot on (Bowen--whom I met at the event, and who is a lovely lady--is the right sort of Brit to write this kind of book). We get a lot of color from the political and social stirrings of the period, which were pretty interesting, and get glimpses of the Royal Family at a time when the future King Edward VIII was about to be led astray by Wallis Simpson - very topical with The King's Speech (excellent!) getting awards all over the place.
The outcome of the mystery plot wasn't hard to spot, but the fun was seeing Georgie--who is a quick thinker in some circumstances and remarkably dense in others--get to the same point. A fun read, and I dare say I'll be back for more.

Here Comes the Gold & Silver Waterfall
After trading up to the top of their recent respective trading ranges over most of the week, gold and silver were capped at $1680 and $31 overnight, and have just been treated to another waterfall decline.
Silver was smashed .80 to $30.14, and gold nearly $25 to $1654.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Deafening protests forced Philadelphia's mayor to abandon his annual budget address in the middle of his speech.
Mayor Michael Nutter left City Council chambers on Thursday amid chants from union members angry about the lack of contracts. They shouted, blew whistles and stomped their feet to drown out his remarks.
Three of the city's four biggest unions have been without contracts since 2009. Last month, Nutter petitioned the state Supreme Court to intervene in the stalemate with District Council 33, which represents thousands of blue-collar municipal workers.
Nutter resumed his speech about an hour later elsewhere in City Hall as demonstrators protested outside the building.
The Democratic mayor introduced the city's nearly $3.8 billion budget for the next fiscal year. He also addressed a revamped property-assessment system.

A Gloucester County mayor charged with DWI is speaking out publicly for the first time since his arrest.
On August 1, police say East Greenwich Township Mayor Fred Grant was caught speeding down Kings Highway while drunk. He was arrested and charged with a DWI as well as driving 91 miles per hour in a 45-mile per hour zone.
Nearly two weeks later, the Mayor addressed the charges during a public town meeting on Tuesday. Despite numerous calls from other committee members as well as the public for his resignation, Grant did not resign from his position. Instead he apologized for his actions.
"I've embarrassed myself and my family," said Mayor Grant. "I will follow the due process."
The reaction from the crowd, consisting of both supporters and detractors, was mixed.
"Nobody in here has ever walked on water," said one man. "The man made a mistake and he admitted it. Let justice go on. Leave him alone."
"Maybe you should go sit with a person who has lost someone while someone else was drunk driving," said one woman. "Shame on you."
Supporters of the mayor argue the calls for his resignation are nothing more than a Republican attempt to push a Democrat out of office. Township Committee member William Bumbernick, who is a Republican, denies this however.
"This is about concern for our residents," said Bumbernick. "This is about concern for the safety of the people in town."
Two men who say they were with the Mayor the night of his arrest, claimed he wasn't drunk.
"Mayor Grant was not drunk," said one man, causing a mixed reaction from the crowd.
"He was not drunk!" said another. "He had a few drinks in him but he wasn't drunk."
During the meeting, the Mayor claimed he would continue to work to regain the trust of the town.

So just to get this out of the way - yes, the New Zealand All-Blacks won over South Africa this weekend and you'd think it was the Red Sox beating the Yankees. (apparently it was - who am I to argue with 800-lb rugby bruisers 🙂 ) I was conked out asleep after a day at Waitomo caves and Maori enclaves -the jetlag made me miss all drunken revelry. However the streets were cleaner than Boston after the Red Sox, so draw what you will from that. 🙂
I learned that TechED NZ (or "TechEd En-Zed" as they say over here) was oversold 5 weeks prior. That is, despite being a relatively small country, their TechEd maxes out every year. THe venue we are in - is the largest in the country - and this morning at breakfast I saw how it splits at the seams a bit.
They really like their Microsoft technologies here. 🙂
Later today I have my dev blogging breakout session. Curiously, I'm not as terrified as I was in Amsterdam. Part of it is, the Student Day presentation is largely a condense, accelerated version of the dev track session. It's smaller than the Student Day audience venue so less people straight up. And also I'm realizing that aside from one arch slide I always look at my notes for, to get precisely right, this is a deck I know like an evil nemesis.
A timeout for a global shoutout
--It's very distressing to see New Orleans under storm threat. Having lived through Hurricane Andrew (and having to stick around in the path as a reporter) big shoutout to the folks both in the city and leaving the city. Hang in there, you never know exactly which way a storm will go.Times like these make you really understand how little your possessions mean and how much the people you love matter. Taping my windows shut and shoving all my crap into a closet to leave for the newsroom in West Palm Beach was a valuable exercise - no matter how much technology lust I have, I can walk from it all cause at the end of the day, it's the people.
My best to you New Orleans and surrounding areas - be careful.

ABA Section of Labor and Employment Law
Issue: SUMMER 2013
If you are a practicing labor and employment lawyer that intends to settle an employment claim in the future, the time has come to learn and understand the Medicare, Medicaid and SCHIP Extension Act ("MMSEA").
In short, Section 111 of the MMSEA requires liability insurers and employers (both public and private) to electronically report to Medicare the details of settlements, judgments, awards or other payments to Medicare recipients. Due to the complexity of the MMSEA, it would be an impossible task to outline its extensive requirements in a short article. Accordingly, this article addresses two essential questions: (1) Does the MMSEA apply to employment claims; and (2) How does one comply? With regard to the first question, the answer is yes! Per written guidance issued by the Center for Medicaid and Medicaid Services ("CMS"), a claim is reportable "where the insured party is (or was) a Medicare beneficiary and medicals are claimed and/or released or the settlement, judgment, award or other payment has the effect of releasing medicals." Further, CMS has taken the position that all settlements of employment disputes which have the effect of releasing medicals (i.e., a general release) must be reported. CMS Alert, Special Default ICD-9 Code (Nov. 9, 2010); CMS User Guide, Ch. 3 at 31-35. According to this broad definition, nearly all general releases are reportable under the MMSEA. At a minimum, the following steps should be taken by defense counsel to comply with the MMSEA:
Failure to comply with the MMSEA may be an expensive mistake. Late reporting can result in a discretionary fine of $1,000 per day, per claim. Additionally, CMS, through MSPRC, can recover conditional payments from any person who receives a portion of the payment (the beneficiary and his/her attorney) or any person who is responsible for making the payment (the insurer, the insured, or self-insured entity). Because employee-plaintiffs and their counsel may be liable for conditional payments due to CMS, they also have an interest in ensuring MMSEA compliance. Finally, CMS can sue for double damages (twice the lien amount) plus interest.
Although these recommendations are an initial step in the right direction, compliance obligations may be amended when CMS issues the new regulations and as CMS continues to revise and update guidance. Therefore, it is critical to follow relevant MMSEA developments. If you handle employment practices liability insurance ("EPLI") matters, a valuable source for MMSEA-compliant language is the EPLI carrier. Given the complexity of the MMSEA and its broad reach, all employment practitioners are advised to become familiar with the requirements and how those requirements will impact employment claims in the future.

Written on: 22/11/2010
This was my first ever flight with Virgin as we usually fly BA or to Far East, Malaysia or similar. I thought Virgin was in the same class but overall very disappointed. Check in on both ends was a joke, long queues despite online check in. Staff being unhelpful (rude) to us (in Jamaica after we were delayed with 22 hours) and overall not a very good experience as a family.
Mostly as we were flying with two toddlers. We could pre-board on both legs but there was no entertainment for the kids. They inform you on their website that there is Vkids channel for pre-schoolers and all kids get a backpack. Unfortunately on our long haul flight outward, pre-school entertainment lasted 22 minutes so that left around 8,5 of remaining flight time to keep them busy and there were no backpacks. No games or tv channel or other things for them to do, unlike what you get with other airlines. Kids pay for they seat but don't get any thing in return on this flight ( childs meal was ok).
On the return leg we were delayed 22 hours so that was not great either. Overall, minimal service and comfort and would not fly them with kids as they do not cater for them well.

Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio
Emergency Visitation Hearing???
I have a seven month old son with my ex boyfriend. Out of the blue a month ago, he filed in court allocation of parental rights, visitation, etc... So I thought since he was interested now and since the baby and the father do not know each other, I offered for him to come to my house and visit with my son a couple of times a week. That has been sporadic on his part and now he is demanding to take him three days a week all day. I didnt agree to that, but I told him we could keep up these visits. He filed for an emergency hearing on visitation. My question is what should I expect? Is there a possibility that the court is just going to say start standard visitation. We have a pre trial in Janurary on the parental rights...I thought this was when everything would be decided. So I was just caught off guard. Thank you for your time in answering this question.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: Emergency Visitation Hearing???
I beleive that you have a misconception of the standard order of visitation. The standard order of visitation can be found on the following web site
Further the Court will do what is in the best interest of the child. Therefore, the court will probably give a supervised visitation at first. However, I can not be sure what the Court will do.
Good Luck

Just as plants turn brown and shut down, just as frost hits and the heating season starts, it's time to plant spring flowers.
Huh? says the new gardener.But it's true. October is when we start planting spring bulbs -- those onion-looking things that winter's dark magic will transform into next spring's heart-stirring crocuses, daffodils and tulips.
Here's what you need to know so your garden can be one of the ones that makes Chicagoans smile in March and April.
Loosen the soil: Wet soil rots bulbs, so their No. 1 need is excellent drainage. Don't even try to plant bulbs in very heavy, sticky clay. But marginal soil can be helped by digging in lots of compost, says Christian Curless, horticulturist for Colorblends (color blends.com), which sells bulbs in mixes of compatible kinds and colors. Paul Witry, general manager of Sid's Greenhouses in Palos Hills (sidsgreenhouses.com), recommends tilling in some coarse sand, such as torpedo sand, or fine pine bark mulch to create a coarser texture that lets water drain.
Find the sun: For their flowering mission, these plants need a good eight hours a day of sunlight. Some early bloomers, such as crocus, can be placed under the bare branches of a deciduous tree, because enough sun will filter through. But later on, when trees leaf out, those spots will be too shady for tulips and daffodils. They need to be out under the open sky.
Plant plenty: Large groups have oomph. A common mistake is to plant a single straggly strung-out row. "They just look a little forlorn," Curless says. For a bunch of bulbs, dig one wide hole. You can crowd them a bit closer than most packages suggest. A clever combination of colors can make a tapestry; commercial mixes, such as Colorblends, make this easier for beginners.
Bloom time: If you pick species and cultivars that bloom early, mid-season and late, you can have a show of flowers from late winter until the summer garden takes over. But bloom time is relative, Curless warns. Though early tulips dependably flower before late ones, the exact dates will vary depending on where they are planted and the spring weather -- which in Chicago changes from year to year, day to day and hour to hour.
The long green: After the blooms fade, the leaves must be left alone for weeks to months to fuel a new flower for next year. So think about what plant will come next or be alongside those leaves. Often bulbs are interplanted with perennials -- daffodils, for example, among daylilies, which have similar strappy foliage and bloom in summer. But big perennial leaves, such as hostas, can shade out bulb foliage and prevent flower formation.
Dig in:Use a trowel for a single bulb or a shovel to dig a wide hole for a bunch of bulbs. The bottom of the hole should be three times as deep as the bulb is wide -- so plant a 2-inch-wide daffodil bulb 6 inches deep. Mix organic bulb fertilizer with the soil in the bottom of the hole according to the package directions.
Pointy end up: That's the end from which the stem will grow. The flat end, where roots grow, goes down. Can't tell? Plant it sideways. "Bulbs are pretty smart," says Witry. "They want to grow. They will find their way out." Fill the hole with soil, water deeply and spread 2 inches of mulch on top for insulation.
Starter bulbs
Begin your planting with these basics:
Crocuses: These jaunty little charmers come up early, sometimes through a blanket of snow. The blooms last a week or so. Plant at least 25 or 50 together, 1 to 2 inches apart.
Daffodils: There are early, mid-season and late spring daffodils, though most kinds bloom in April in Chicago. In general, plant them about 3 inches apart.
Tulips: Chances for repeat blooms are best if you plant them in very well-drained soil with your drought-tolerant plants. Tulips come in many colors, shape variations and bloom times, but most are mid-season to late spring.
How to choose some great bulbs
* For help choosing bulbs, check out the Bulb Bazaar sale from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 4 and 5 at the Chicago Botanic Garden, 1000 Lake Cook Rd., Glencoe. There will be a large selection and plenty of volunteers to give advice. Jill Selinger of the garden's education department will teach a class, "Bulbs for Beginners," from 9 to 11 a.m. Oct. 4. Cost: $37 (includes parking). Call 847-835-8261 or see chicago botanic.org/school.
* The Morton Arboretum, Illinois Highway 53 and Interstate Highway 88, Lisle, will have a bulb sale 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 28. Cost: $9. Visit mortonarb.org or call 630-968-0074.

Bringing you the very best stand-up talent and there's a bar close enough to refresh that laughing gear - you'll need it!
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Nathan Caton
Nathan is a young black British comic, gigging on both the mainstream and black comedy circuit. His set is highly obsevational, influenced by his culture and upbringing, and also coming from a young person's outlook on life, from the well-known Nigerian traffic warden and the always-disciplining West-Indian mother, to MTV's Pimp my Ride.
'Excellent story-telling skills keep the crowd easily entertained' (Three Weeks).
'Caton is probably the most exciting young black comic on the scene' (Fest Magazine).
'Caton's a slick performer with an unbeatable stage attitude and the confident air of someone much more experienced' (Chortle).
'Compelling, well-observed stand-up... He specialises in laidback, on-the-nose material, chopping down fools of all colours, both in day-to-day life and in the media' (The Guardian).
Nathan Caton was named in Ents24's top 20 hardest-working comedians of 2015.
Nathan Caton tour dates
Lloyd Griffith
Lloyd started comedy in 2009 and now performs regularly on professional nights at comedy clubs all across the UK. His confidence and ability to easily engage with the audience has earned him a number of compering residencies, including Get Up Stand Up in London and Therapy Rooms Comedy Club in Tunbridge Wells.
'Inherently funny: voice of an angel' body of a trucker... very neat lines in his comic repertoire' (Steve Bennett, Chortle)
'... the next big thing'(FHM)
'There's no doubt about it; Lloyd Griffith is the king of the unexpected. His sense of fun is infectious, his singing voice faultless and his anecdotes are told with boundless confidence. Griffith has clearly established his own style of comedy' (Three Weeks).
Lloyd Griffith tour dates
Damion Larkin
Comedy genius is an over used term and Damion Larkin is not a comedy genius. However, he really is very good indeed.
This former stockbroker quit his lucrative profession in August 2004 to live the dream and has never looked back. He went full time in 2005 and is now destitute, relying on state handouts and begging.
There are no genuine comparisons to this man. He is a versatile and creative comedian who always leaves audiences wanting more.
'Industrious in rotating his material... which is warmly and intelligently told' (Chortle)
'One of the country's top new comedians' (BBC).

In fact, no other player has hurt them more than Jones, the Braves' 40-year-old third baseman who is retiring after this season.
Against Miami, Jones ranks first in games played (242), RBIs (165), runs scored (151), home runs (40), doubles (47) and hits (256).
Jones' most memorable homer against the Marlins was his 400th career shot, which came off Ricky Nolasco at Turner Field.
"Your milestones, they stick out in your mind," Jones said. "Obviously 400 home runs, that's a lot of trots around the bases. That's probably the one that sticks out to me the most."
For years, Marlins fans have dreaded seeing Jones come to the plate. Now, South Florida will have three more chances to watch the All-Star in Miami.
This week marks Jones' final visit as a player at Marlins Park.
"We had some epic battles down here the years that the Marlins ended up winning the World Series; those were some pretty good teams," Jones said. "We had some great battles with them along the way."
During a pregame ceremony on Wednesday, the final night of the series, the Marlins will pay tribute to Jones with a video, as well as a yet to be announced gift.
Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen holds high praise for Jones, his former teammate.
Guillen feels the Braves slugger should be a first-ballot Hall of Fame inductee.
"I think no doubt, but you never know," Guillen said. "So many things go on behind the scenes about the Hall of Fame. But this kid, he grew up in the era where baseball was a little dirty, and he did it the right way."
As impactful as Jones has been throughout his brilliant career, Guillen notes that the All-Star still is a bit underappreciated -- at least outside of Atlanta.
"I think so," the Marlins manager said. "The way he went about his business. He's not a flamboyant guy. He's not a cocky guy. He's not a problem guy. He's not the type of guy who is going to be in the news for the wrong reason. I think that makes him not being noticed.
"He's a true leader. He's not a fake leader. He's a true leader. When you get the respect from your teammates, that means you've got a great [career]."

February 8, 2003
Delegates attending a United Nations environmental conference here last week endorsed a global crackdown on pollution caused by mercury, although the United States blocked efforts for binding restrictions on its use.
Mercury, a highly toxic heavy metal, is particularly dangerous for infants and children, and it can be passed from pregnant women to their fetuses. Human exposure to mercury comes from a variety of sources — consumption of fish, occupational and household uses, dental fillings and some vaccines.
The United Nations Environment Program will begin assisting countries, particularly those in the developing world, in devising methods for cutting emissions of mercury from sources like coal-fired power stations and incinerators. Further action, possibly including a binding protocol, was put off until 2005.
The decision followed the release of a report outlining a significant global threat to humans and wildlife from mercury, a naturally occurring metal. Mercury exposure can cause development problems and can affect the brain, kidneys and liver.
The conference drew more than 1,000 delegates from 130 nations. The delegates agreed that "there is sufficient evidence of significant global adverse impacts from mercury and its compounds to warrant further international action to reduce the risks to human health and the environment."
The United Nations report found that mercury travels throughout the earth at a far greater rate than was previously known, circulating between the air, water and soil as well as in living things. Even regions without significant mercury releases of their own, such as the Arctic, were found to be adversely affected by the global spread of mercury.
Mercury has many industrial applications, although safer alternatives exist. It is used in small-scale mining of gold and silver as well as in thermometers, fluorescent lamps and some paints. The substance is also contained in many skin-lightening creams as well as in some traditional medicines.
Some European delegates had sought to begin laying the groundwork for a global protocol on mercury. But Bush administration officials, who have opposed such wide-reaching approaches to a range of environmental issues, had argued that it would take too long and be too costly to pursue such a global convention.
Instead, the American officials pressed for public awareness programs to spread the word of the risks of mercury. Such efforts would be aimed at especially vulnerable groups, like pregnant women and people living in areas with small-scale gold and silver mining operations, where mercury is a particular threat.
"We acknowledge that the case has been made for action," said an American official involved in the negotiations. "But instead of negotiating for years and spending millions of dollars on a global convention, we want quick action."
European negotiators successfully pushed for language leaving open the possibility of a global convention in the future. The issue will be revisited at a follow-up meeting in South Korea in 2005. The Europeans also wanted the effects of other heavy metals, including lead and cadmium, to be reviewed.
"No single country can resolve the mercury problem on its own," said Michael Bender, director of the Mercury Policy Project, an organization working to focus attention on the problem. "There are alternatives for mercury uses, but there is no alternative to global cooperation."
The data on global exposure to mercury remains incomplete. Many developing countries also are far less apt to notify their populations about the risks of mercury, like the dangers of too much seafood for pregnant women.
The United States is far ahead of many other countries when it comes to awareness of mercury's risks. The Food and Drug Administration and 41 states warn consumers to limit their intake of certain fish — or avoid eating them altogether — because of their mercury levels. Ten states advise pregnant women and children to limit consumption of canned tuna, the most heavily consumed fish in the United States.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control indicates that one in 12 women of childbearing age in the United States have unsafe mercury levels, translating into more than 300,000 children born each year at risk of exposure to mercury.

Titans vs. Rams Odds
ST. LOUIS, MO (The Spread) – Jeff Fisher faces his old team on Sunday as the St. Louis Rams host the Tennessee Titans at 1PM ET on CBS.
St. Louis is 3-5 overall, 2-2 at home and 3-5 against the spread. Tennessee is 3-4 overall, 1-2 on the road and 4-2-1 against the spread. St. Louis has won four of its last six meetings with Tennessee.
Trends show that the Rams are 0-5 against the spread in their last 5 Week-9 games and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games against a team with a losing road record. Tennessee is 5-1 against the spread in its last 6 games on turf.
According to oddsmakers from Bovada.lv, Tennessee is favored on the road, as the Titans have odds of -3 points at St. Louis on Sunday. The over/under total for the game has been set at 39.5 points (View Matchup). The opening odds for this game had the Titans favored by 2.5 points. The spread slowly moved its way up to 3. The over/under total hasn't changed since opening at 39.5 points.
The Titans are coming off the bye week, but had lost three straight entering the bye. Tennessee is struggling on offense as of late, only posting 311.6 yards per game. The defense hasn't been too bad, holding opponents to 337 yards per game. The defense is being led by Bernard Pollard, who has 47 tackles with two interceptions. Quarterback Jake Locker has been battling a hip injury, but has thrown for 1,047 yards with eight touchdowns and only one interception. Nate Washington is leading the offense with 26 catches for 439 yards and two touchdowns.
The Rams are coming off a 14-9 loss to the Seahawks on Monday night. The Rams have lost two straight and are playing without Sam Bradford for the rest of the season due to a torn ACL. Kellen Clemens is now the starting quarterback and he has thrown for 177 yards on 17 of 35 passing. The offense will need more from its run game in Bradford's absence, but the team is rushing for just 86.8 yards per game this season. Defensively, St. Louis is giving up 343.6 yards per game. The Rams have 25 sacks as a team, led by Robert Quinn, who has 10 sacks through eight games.
In terms of Injuries, St. Louis running backs Benny Cunningham and Zac Stacy are both questionable with ankle injuries. Tennessee receiver Kevin Walter (back) and defensive end Derrick Morgan (shoulder) are both questionable as well.
The Public Bets for this game are currently backing Tennessee, as the Titans are getting 63% of the wagers with odds of -3 points at St. Louis on Sunday.

text: Here's one that is going to confuse you all. My Milestone has taken to playing music by itself at random. It's not an alarm. It's not the music player being started either! At 0832 one day, music started blasting out while it was in the dock. Another time, it began when I removed headphones after watching a video (and returning to the homescreen). Once it has started when I disconnected a Bluetooth car kit. I can adjust the volume but nothing else! I have to open the music player, and then it shows the music as paused - but it's still playing. To stop it, I must press play, then stop/pause again. And then it stops. It's happening maybe once every day or two, and is incredibly annoying. I just can't figure out what might be causing it. It MUST be an app that I've got running or have installed, but which one? Has ANYONE else had a similar problem, perhaps that they thought was just a one off glitch?

Minor League Report: Young arms
Minor League Report: Young arms
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- As Brad Lidge toiled in a Minor League game at the Carpenter Complex, Phillies Minor League director Steve Noworyta wandered over to the media that had gathered in the stands. "The guy to watch is [really] Julian Sampson," Noworyta said, referring to the right-hander who was opposing Lidge in this contest. "We're really excited about him." Sampson, a 19-year-old from Sammamish, Wash., was selected in the 12th round of the 2007 First-Year Player Draft. A year ago, he was pitching for Skyline High School and also tossed two perfect innings for the Gulf Coast League Phillies. Participating in his first professional Spring Training, Sampson will start the season at Class A Lakewood.
Though his dream of reaching the Major Leagues isn't likely to be realized for at least three years, Sampson is one of the names likely to be mentioned often as a potential future rotation fixture. Add him to a list that includes pitching prospects Joe Savery, Carlos Carrasco, Scott Mathieson, Josh Outman, Drew Carpenter and Kyle Drabek, who are varying degrees away from the big leagues. Savery, Carrasco and Outman had the thrill of experiencing their first big league Spring Training this past month. All have since been dispatched to the Minor League complex. "It was a really good experience," said Outman, who surrendered 12 hits and six walks in 8 2/3 innings. "It was a real confidence boost that I faced big league hitters, and I didn't feel overmatched by anyone. At the same time, it was aggravating because it didn't go as well. But it was incredible to be around that atmosphere." Outman, Carrasco and Carpenter could be part of the Double-A rotation, while Savery is expected to start at Class A Clearwater. Mathieson and Drabek are both recovering from Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery. Mathieson has resumed throwing, while Drabek is expected to be ready by June. The Phillies will be patient with their young arms as they work their way up the organizational ladder, having already developed home-grown arms like Cole Hamels, Brett Myers, Ryan Madson and Kyle Kendrick.

While it's tough to tell who will be next, it's fair to say there are plenty of candidates.On the pine: The Phillies had a clean Spring Training from a Minor League standpoint. Names in the game: Dusty Wathan retired as a player after the 2007 season and will serve as the manager of the Class A Williamsport Crosscutters. Wathan, the son of former catcher John Wathan, received five at-bats for the Royals in 2002 and recorded three hits. He's appeared in more than 1,000 Minor League games. Class of '07: Outfielder Matthew Spencer, selected in the third round, batted .263 for rookie league Williamsport in 51 games. The former Arizona State University alum should be at Class A Lakewood in 2008. Quotable: "That's what I'm here to do -- make sure we win and make sure guys like throwing to me. I feel like I can swing. I'm confident knowing I can do that, but I'm going to stay in the Major Leagues for however long because guys like throwing to me." -- Jason Jaramillo, who is regarded as the team's catcher of the future. He'll start the season at Triple-A Lehigh Valley

L.A. Seeks Long-Term Commitment From NFL Team To Approve Downtown Stadium
L.A. Chief Legislative Analyst Gerry Miller yesterday said that an NFL team "would have to commit to remaining in a proposed downtown Los Angeles stadium for 20 to 30 years for the city to approve the project," according to Rich Connell of the L.A. TIMES. Miller told the L.A. City Council that the city "will seek 'hard-and-fast agreements' that a pro football franchise would not leave" AEG's proposed Farmers Field "until city debt related to the project is repaid." SportsCorp President Marc Ganis, "who has worked on many NFL stadium projects," yesterday said that "securing a long-term commitment from a prospective Los Angeles team is possible." But he added it "won't be simple." Ganis said that complications include the L.A. area's "poor record with NFL teams, the lack of a major public subsidy for the stadium and the fact that the team may not also own the stadium." Connell notes negotiations on a "preliminary stadium agreement are expected to take about three months." Miller made his comments yesterday at the "first meeting of a special council committee charged with reviewing the stadium plan." L.A. Council member Bill Rosendahl "signaled that he may press for even more city revenue, including a share of the reported $700 million in naming rights AEG has already sold to Farmers Insurance." L.A. Council member Tony Cardenas said that the city also "needs to scrutinize AEG's proposals to control additional advertising signage around the stadium," including at the neighboring Convention Center (L.A. TIMES, 4/19).
THE BIGGER, THE BETTER: The AP's Jacob Adelman noted AEG President & CEO Tim Leiweke has said that the company "may ask the city for a contract to manage the entire convention center site, which would bring some 100,000 contiguous acres of downtown Los Angeles, including the AEG-owned Staples Center indoor arena and the LA Live complex, under the company's management." L.A. Council member Jan Perry said that AEG's proposed convention center configuration was "preferable to the one envisioned by the 2001 deal that nestled the expansion within LA Live." But she added that the city "should not surrender rights to the parcel ahead of schedule unless AEG offers a commensurate tangible benefit in return as part of negotiations" (AP, 4/18).
Toronto FC Unveils Plans For New Training Facility, Development Academy
Toronto FC yesterday unveiled plans for their new academy and training facility in Downsview Park, a 14-acre complex that will serve as the primary practice, training and development center for the MLS club and its academy teams. Team Owner MLSE will invest more than C$17.5M to build the facility, and pay an annual rent to Downsview for use of the government-owned property (THE DAILY). SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL's Fred Dreier notes construction crews are "scheduled to break ground on the complex in early May, with the project slated to open in April 2012." MLSE Exec VP/Venues & Entertainment Bob Hunter said, "We hope to create the soccer epicenter of Canada." The project is "being funded entirely by MLSE, which signed a 20-year lease with the Canadian government to use the site." Hunter said MLSE has begun the search for a "significant title sponsor" for the facility. Dreier notes the complex will "become the permanent home of Toronto FC's management offices, although business operations will remain at BMO Field." The facility includes four outdoor grass fields, one turf field, a "field house that houses team offices, workout facilities and training rooms, and five locker rooms" (SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL, 4/18 issue). MLSE President & COO Tom Anselmi said that the "idea is to give TFC the same type of training complex top overseas clubs use." Before finalizing plans for the facility, MLSE "consulted teams in England, Holland, and Mexico" (TORONTO STAR, 4/19). Anselmi said, "This will compare globally. We've looked at Ajax, we've looked at Chelsea, we've looked at Pachuca (in Mexico). ... We've looked at all the best and this will be right up there. It's going to be world-class, it's going to rival anything you'll see in Europe" (CP, 4/18).
No one else has detailed naming rights data like this
