Partial upper and lower denture, London, England, 1856-1880
The lower plate of this denture is made of ivory. It is attached to the silver alloy upper plate by coil springs. The lower plate has been repaired at some point. It possibly pre-dates the upper one. The front teeth on the upper plate are made of porcelain. Porcelain eventually replaced human teeth and ivory in dentures. The first individual porcelain teeth were made by Italian dentist Guiseppangelo Fonzi (1768-1840) in 1808.

You could learn just about everything you need to know about the state of the Big Ten's receivers just by following the Twitter feeds of Nebraska's Kenny Bell and Wisconsin's Jared Abbrederis. A sample:
This man @jeremygallon1 is going HAM! He's gonna go for 300 receiving.
— Kenny Bell (@AFRO_THUNDER80) October 19, 2013
Scratch that. Gallon is going for 400 — Kenny Bell (@AFRO_THUNDER80) October 19, 2013
@CodyLatimer3 y'all wrs in that michigan game went off!!! — Jared Abbrederis (@abbrecadabra) October 21, 2013
@abbrecadabra tryna get like you bro! You had more yards against Ohio state then I got this year!
Yes, it's fair to say that Big Ten receivers are noticing what others at the position are doing. These days, it's becoming harder and harder not to notice.
Last season, Penn State's Allen Robinson was the only league player to finish in the Top 71 in the FBS in receiving yards per game -- prompting me to ask where all the Big Ten star receivers had gone. A year later, we have our answer.
Three Big Ten receivers -- Michigan's Jeremy Gallon, Wisconsin's Jared Abbrederis and Robinson -- rank in the top 20 nationally in receiving yards, with Indiana's Cody Latimer checking in at No. 27. Meanwhile, Nebraska's Quincy Enunwa is tied for ninth in the country with seven touchdown receptions.
"There are some awfully good guys who can stretch the field vertically, or guys who have great strength battling for the football," Michigan coach Brady Hoke said. "I think you saw that the other day when we played."
We sure did. Indiana's outstanding group of pass-catchers allowed the Hoosiers to throw for 410 yards in the Big House. But the Wolverines' Gallon nearly matched that himself with a Big Ten record receiving 369 yards in the 63-47 shootout. You'd better believe that other wideouts noticed that.
"That's just ridiculous," Abbrederis told ESPN.com. "That's crazy. That was almost half my season [total] last year. That's a day that wide receivers dream of."
Abbrederis had his own standout game earlier this year when he recorded 10 catches for 207 yards at Ohio State while being defended by All-America cornerback Bradley Roby. But he joked "mine was kind of small" compared to Gallon's day.
Penn State's Robinson has had his own stat-stuffing days, including a 12-catch, 172-yard, two-touchdown showing in a loss at Indiana. He watched some of Gallon's performance during Penn State's bye week and thinks that he could match the 369-yard performance if the conditions were right.
"He was able to go out there and beat the defensive backs pretty much all game and get open for his team," Robinson told ESPN.com. "So I would say that's something other receivers could do if they got the opportunity."
Robinson easily won the Big Ten's Richter-Howard Receiver of the Year award as the league's only 1,000-yard producer last year, but he's got company this season. Gallon, Abbrederis and Latimer are all on pace to eclipse 1,000 yards right now.
Is Robinson eager to retain his trophy?
"That's out of my control as far as awards," he said. "Each and every game and in the offseason, I continue to try to be best player I can be, and whatever comes with that is fine. I don't try to stress myself over it too much or lose sleep too much. We have a talented group of receivers in this league."
This group, in fact, includes some of the best in school history.
Abbrederis, a senior, is just 113 yards away from becoming the No. 2 all-time receiver at Wisconsin and needs 657 in his last six games to surpass Lee Evans for the career record. Robinson, a junior, is already fifth in career touchdown catches (16), seventh in career receptions (123) and 11th in career receiving yards (1,747) at Penn State. Gallon should finish in the Top 5 of Michigan career receiving yards.
They're the big three in the league right now, but there are plenty of others excelling at the position. Nebraska's Bell hasn't put up big receiving numbers yet but is still capable of jaw-dropping plays like this one. Like Enunwa, he's also a physical blocker for the Huskers running game. And the junior ranks fourth all-time in Nebraska career receiving yards and needs less than 900 to become the school's all-time leader.
Indiana's Latimer has great size (he's 6-foot-3) and hands and is joined by Kofi Hughes and Shane Wynn to form a three-headed receiving monster. Ohio State's Philly Brown has developed into a go-to weapon. Michigan's Devin Funchess is a receiver hiding in a tight end's body.
"I saw the game [Robinson] had against our rivals, and he was fantastic," Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. "He's a very fast and talented guy who goes up and high points the ball. I nominated Abbrederis for a bunch of the postseason awards when I got to see him live and in color. He's a tremendous player. So I think those are NFL players we're getting to face almost every week."
They remain very collegial while still in college.
Abbrederis says he started following Bell closely after Wisconsin played Nebraska twice last year. Bell told the Omaha World-Herald that he and Enunwa watch tape of Abbredris every week because "that guy's a stud." Robinson is tight with Iowa's Kevonte Martin-Manley and sends him the occasional text or tweet during the season.
"I'm obviously not going to play directly against them, so it's not bad to have a relationship," Abbrederis said. "It's good to see guys doing some good things in this league."
It's getting harder and harder not to notice all those good things.
"We had a Heisman Trophy winner at receiver in the Big Ten with Desmond Howard," Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said. "So there have always been a lot of good receivers in this league, and there are definitely some good ones right now."

Mirror - Poem by Brandon Shutter
I clench my fist with rage, hatred at myself,
Why did I do that I ask, what brought that about.
My reflection peeks back at me from the broken mirror
Distorted pieces staring from shards of broken glass.
A haunting vision, a man stares back at me,
that's now who I am, though that's not who I want to be.
Wondering where these false images come from
I realize where I made my mistake.
Disillusioned with myself, finally seeing the light
That truths hide within shattered spikes of crooked spikes.
I blink my eyes a couple times, and a thousand blink back at me,
seemingly pointing and mocking at my defeat.
Crooked smiles joyfully reflect back to me my sorrow,
Captured in the light is darkness that has me fully swallowed.
Scattered around the floor inside each delicate piece,
a part of me stored away, hoping for inner peace.

Norweigan singer/song-writer, Sondre Lerche, recently released this lively, upbeat, album, and his down-to-earth vocals paired with his indie-pop, acoustic melodies will have you in a good mood for the rest of the day. Lerche is most famous for his score composition for the movie Dan In Real Life, and this album is very similar to that soundtrack in the way that its folky beats and cheerful tunes makes anyone want to grab a partner and dance. However, don't let the positive feel of the music fool you.
They have a great sound, very catchy with piano ballads as well as short rockin riffs and simple but fun drum beats. Their sound is pretty fun and catchy. Their music is good with the only exception of the lead vocals voice. It doesn't seam to fit in with the type of music they are playing. The girl on keyboards sings back up vocals and does a great job. They have a good sound with the exception of the singer. Their sound is really indie pop rock and reminds me of matchbox twenty mixed with the Lumineers. Give a listen and see what you think! overall a good sound.
Great Band. Great Album. The Decemberists are an authentic folk rock/indie band from Portland. They are the kind of band that will play upbeat pop to instrumental ballads. This album consists of more ballads, but the album is true Decemberists, primary instrument being guitar; and smooth, serene melodies.
E. Watson - ***** (a classic folk story based guitar song)
Foregone - ***** (more of a bluesy/rock folk song)
Burying Davy - ***** (darker sounding)
I4U & U4ME - **** (upbeat)
There are 7 core members of this band, and 17 total contributers from Portland Oregon. They all live within walking distance from each other, and their average is 21.8. I really enjoyed this album! They are very very mellow, and acoustic. They utilizing lots of harmonies, and obviously a lot of different sounds since they have so many members. But their album is still simple and minimalistic. Their songs have interesting structure. I dig them.
The original soundtarck to 180 Degrees South, the movie follows an adventurer as he explores to outdoors. So the soundtrack is very folky, outdoorsy, chill. I really enjoyed this album. Spin this if you just want some really chill, plesant music. It will be a good song to end a show with perhaps. Quality.
Turin Breaks has been a significant presence near the top of the UK charts, and this record is a perfect example as to why. These guys have a great sound. Their voices mix well together and the guitars give off a reflective, calming tone. The lyrics within their songs are deep. Turin Breaks has the whole package that you would want in an indie-alternative band. The acoustic movement the band utilizes on this album works well. It has that quality of taking you off on a journey, envisioning a road trip across the countryside, ending the night around a campf
Spin this!!! A very well put together album; I like almost every song. These guys are from Iceland, so of course their music all have a very "pretty: feel to it. Unlike Sigur Ros, they mostly sing in English and they have a more concrete feel, less dreamlike. Their melodies, harmonies and various instruments meld together seamlessly to create very pleasant pieces. But they balance that with elements in their songs that make you feel rushed, or hurried but still a very chill album. Quality.
Two years after the breakup of Beulah in 2004, frontman Miles Kurosky began work on what would eventually become his solo debut. Over the course of three years, production on this album would slowly continue to evolve, until of course, it eventually became the final product, "the Desert of Shallow Effects."
This album contains acoustic versions of older Asobi Seksu songs. If you haven't heard them before you probably don't want to start here, unless you're a big fan of quiet acoustic. The songs are really pretty, but I prefer the high-energy guitar they usually have. (Did you know "asobi seksu" means 'playful sex' in Japanese?)

Dear Friends,
'Family' is a word that carries a lot of weight at Akron Children's Hospital.
It drives the way we approach patient care. It guides the way we structure our facilities – from patient rooms to respite centers. And it defines anyone who walks through our doors.
As a contributor to Akron Children's Hospital, you are a part of our hospital family. In 2012, your support helped us grow in ways we never imagined. We ended the year with more than $20 million raised through individual contributions, fundraisers, grants, our "Building on the Promise" campaign and more. It was one of the most monumental years we've ever experienced.
Just like any family grows over time, so does our hospital.
One of the ways we experience this is by establishing new divisions, programs and services, like the NeuroDevelopmental Science Center.
In 2012, the center's physicians performed our first-ever epilepsy surgery, giving hope and a second chance to one local boy. New opportunities like this help us provide the best possible care to the children of our hospital communities and beyond, allowing us to expand our regional presence.
As we grow regionally, so does our donor family.
In this issue of Children's Progress, you'll read about other stories and more successes that reflect a growing family of people who want to support our mission.

Activation of human carbonic anhdyrase II by exogenous proton donors
Structural highlights
[CAH2_HUMAN] Defects in CA2 are the cause of osteopetrosis autosomal recessive type 3 (OPTB3) [MIM:259730]; also known as osteopetrosis with renal tubular acidosis, carbonic anhydrase II deficiency syndrome, Guibaud-Vainsel syndrome or marble brain disease. Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disease characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. The disorder occurs in two forms: a severe autosomal recessive form occurring in utero, infancy, or childhood, and a benign autosomal dominant form occurring in adolescence or adulthood. Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis is usually associated with normal or elevated amount of non-functional osteoclasts. OPTB3 is associated with renal tubular acidosis, cerebral calcification (marble brain disease) and in some cases with mental retardation.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
[CAH2_HUMAN] Essential for bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation (By similarity). Reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Can hydrate cyanamide to urea. Involved in the regulation of fluid secretion into the anterior chamber of the eye.[6] [7]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Small molecule rescue of mutant forms of human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II) occurs by participation of exogenous donors/acceptors in the proton transfer pathway between the zinc-bound water and solution. To examine more thoroughly the energetics of this activation, we have constructed a mutant, H64W HCA II, which we have shown is activated by 4-methylimidazole (4-MI) by a mechanism involving the binding of 4-MI to the side chain of Trp-64 approximately 8 A from the zinc. A series of experiments are consistent with the activation of H64W HCA II by the interaction of imidazole and pyridine derivatives as exogenous proton donors with the indole ring of Trp-64; these experiments include pH profiles and H/D solvent isotope effects consistent with proton transfer, observation of approximately fourfold greater activation with the mutant containing Trp-64 compared with Gly-64, and the observation by x-ray crystallography of the binding of 4-MI associated with the indole side chain of Trp-64 in W5A-H64W HCA II. Proton donors bound at the less flexible side chain of Trp-64 in W5A-H64W HCA II do not show activation, but such donors bound at the more flexible Trp-64 of H64W HCA II do show activation, supporting suggestions that conformational mobility of the binding site is associated with more efficient proton transfer. Evaluation using Marcus theory showed that the activation of H64W HCA II by these proton donors was reflected in the work functions w(r) and w(p) rather than in the intrinsic Marcus barrier itself, consistent with the role of solvent reorganization in catalysis.

A Manhattan jury found the U.S. unit of Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis AG guilty of gender discrimination on Monday after almost six weeks in trial.
The class action lawsuit was filed by 5,600 current and former female sales representatives for Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp. who alleged the company discriminated against its female employees in pay, promotional opportunities and pregnancy-related issues.
"This jury learned that Novartis is not somewhere you would want your wife, your mother, your sister or your daughter to work," said Kate Kimpel, one of the lawyers for the plaintiff, in a statement.
The jury in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York decided that Novartis engaged in a pattern of practicing discrimination, and awarded the 12 women who testified about their specific instances $3.36 million in compensatory damages.
On Tuesday, the jury will decide on the amount of punitive damages Novartis will pay to the entire 5,600-person class to punish the company and dissuade it from acting this way in the future. And a separate amount of class damages, which include back pay for lost earnings, will be determined at a later date.
The suit, filed in 2004, was brought on by females who have worked for the company between 2002 and 2007.
Kimpel said that Novartis also expected female representatives to be available and amenable to sexual advances from the doctors when they make calls.
"Time and time again, Novartis looked the other way when female representatives complained about inappropriate doctors," Kimpel said. "Novartis refused to treat its female employees as the competent and hard-working professionals that they were and are."
Many of the Novartis witnesses claimed the company has a "zero tolerance policy" for discrimination.
"Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation is disappointed in the jury's verdict, as we believe the plaintiffs' claims were unfounded," the company said in a statement to the Wall Street Journal. "We will consider an appeal."
The company also noted that, during the time frame of the lawsuit, it was recognized for its inclusive environment.
"We are proud of the public honor and recognition we have received for the policies and programs we have in place to support the advancement of women in the sales force," the company said to the Wall Street Journal.
But, now the case judge has the ability to order Novartis to make policy and procedure changes to prevent future discriminatory behavior.
"Today's verdict sends a clear and powerful message to Novartis and every corporation in the United States: women are equal partners in our workforce," said David Sanford, another lawyer for the plaintiff, in a statement. "The days of second-class citizenship are over. Play by the rules or be subject to great exposure – financially and reputationally."

The first wave of Windows 8 PCs is already on sale, and our collection of reviews continues to grow. We've been benchmarking and field-testing new Windows 8 systems, including all-in-one desktops, traditional clamshell laptops and convertible laptops with displays that flip or twist around to form tabletlike devices.
Dell XPS One 27
The good: The Dell XPS One 27 boasts the highest-display resolution among Windows 8 all-in-ones, and at an aggressive price. The bad: A new adjustable display support arm is welcome, but stops short of reclining a full 90 degrees.
HP Envy TouchSmart Ultrabook 4
The good: HP's Envy TouchSmart Ultrabook 4 is an attractive ultrabook with a respectable mix of components for its price, a responsive touch screen and a backlit keyboard. The bad: The Envy TouchSmart 4 isn't very configurable, so you can't make it too much more powerful than it already is. Its touch pad is jumpy at default settings.
Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13
The good: The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 looks as good as any 13-inch ultrabook, with the added attraction of a 360-degree screen and a laptop body that can fold into a tent, stand or slate. The bad: The Yoga 13 costs more than standard ultrabooks with similar components.

Updated: Trooper charged with bribery, misconduct
DANVILLE — An Illinois state trooper has been charged with bribery and official misconduct for allegedly offering to buy another police officer dinner in exchange for giving his ex-girlfriend a ticket, according to a complaint filed Friday in Vermilion County Circuit Court.
Keith Lumsargis, a 13-year veteran of the state police, was charged with two counts of bribery, a Class 2 felony, and two counts of official misconduct, a Class 3 felony, according to Vermilion County State's Attorney Randy Brinegar.
His bond was set at $100,000, and his preliminary hearing is set for June 5 at 2:30 p.m. Lumsargis posted bond and was released from the Vermilion County jail on Friday.
Brinegar said Lumsargis was arrested Thursday night in Vermilion County by state police but would not disclose exactly where or under what circumstances and would not provide any other details about the case against Lumsargis, 44, who lives in Westville.
According to court documents filed by Brinegar's office, Lumsargis allegedly promised on May 16 to buy Tilton Police Officer Ryan Schull a steak dinner in exchange for issuing Lumsargis' ex-girlfriend, Mary Bailey, a traffic citation, and on May 22, Lumsargis again offered to buy Schull a dinner when Schull had previously indicated he had issued the ex-girlfriend a ticket.
A call to state police seeking comment on the charges was not returned, but the state agency issued a news release Friday stating that Lumsargis was taken into custody without incident after an investigation by the Illinois State Police Division of Internal Investigation. The division received a complaint and acted immediately by launching an internal investigation into the matter, the news release stated.
Lumsargis was relieved of duty, pending the outcome of the investigation and court proceedings, according to state police.
ISP Director Hiram Grau said through a statement in the news release that abuse of law enforcement authority will not be tolerated, and no police officer is above the law.
"This officer abused his authority but is not a reflection of the hard working men and women of this agency who risk their lives on a daily basis to serve the public and Illinois communities." Grau said.

That's not a bribe,Lum was offering him a reward for doing his job,you see someone breaking the law including my ex-wife(I don't want any favors) ,the steaks on me.This was taken out of context.Oh to,it's looks like Lum is tried and convicted before his trial!Way to go America!
Agree. Unprofessional. Though not worthy, according to what I did not read, of a Felony, I just scanned 'Most Commented Posts.' I got hung up on the Survey Question: "Which of these drugs have you taken in the last year? Adderall, Zantac, Xanax, Ultram or None of the Above." Perhaps, someone is taking 'All of theAbove.'

You are here
Meet the US Navy's brand new car
Spitfire. Apache. Marauder. Names to chill your enemy's blood. So what d'you reckon the US Navy's latest car's called?
The PHANTOM BADGER. Seriously.
But ignore that for just a second, because it's a pretty interesting thing. It's been built by Boeing, the aircraft manufacturer, so it could fit in the back of a Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey tilt rotor - an aircraft used by the Navy. But Boeing's used to building, y'know, planes and stuff, so recruited a partner with automotive expertise.
Presumably they were all busy, so Boeing called on a small NASCAR engineering company called Motorsport Innovations (MSI), from North Carolina. MSI developed the Badger's hard-wearing suspension system (there's a phrase we never thought we'd type on TG), and helped with its four-wheel steer setup, which gives it a 7.3-meter turning circle - 3cm narrower than a London taxi.
John Chicoli, Boeing's Phantom Badger program manager, says: "This weight class of vehicle closes a big capability gap. [Navy] certification validates Phantom Badger's versatile design while offering the warfighter increased battlefield access and deployment options."
The 240bhp, 80mph military thing can carry some pretty devastating stuff: weapon loads include a .50-caliber machine gun or 40mm automatic grenade launcher bolted to the roll cage. In the back you can choose between general-purpose machine guns, or special medevac or storage modules. And no, it doesn't float.
But seriously. Phantom Badger? Can you do better, internet? Mystery Stoat? Haunting Vole?

House set to vote on 20-week abortion ban – FTC can challenge 'pay for delay' – House compounding bill surfaces – CMS to void some DME contracts
With help from Jennifer Haberkorn, Brett Norman and Kathryn Smith
HOUSE SET TO VOTE ON 20-WEEK ABORTION BAN BILL – The House is set to plunge back into a battle over abortion today when lawmakers vote on a bill that would ban abortion after 20 weeks nationwide. The bill, based on the controversial assertion that a fetus can feel pain after 20 weeks, likely won't see the light of day in the Senate. But anti-abortion Republicans will still use the debate to highlight Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell's murder trial, which captured headlines earlier this year. Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) originally introduced the bill to apply just to Washington, D.C., but after the trial he broadened it the entire country.
Story Continued Below
-- You may not see a lot of Franks during the floor debate today, but you might hear a lot about him. Democrats supporting abortion rights will be sure to recall Franks's comment during a markup last week that "the incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low." Franks said he was specifically talking about pregnancies after the six-month mark, but Democrats have sought to connect the remarks with former Rep. Todd Akin's comment on "legitimate rape" that sunk his Missouri Senate campaign last year.
-- In a statement of administration policy last night, the White House stated its strong opposition to Franks's bill. "This bill is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade and shows contempt for women's health and rights, the role doctors play in their patients' health care decisions and the Constitution," the White House said.
Good Tuesday morning and welcome to PULSE, where we're still waiting on major decisions from the Supreme Court. Does this feel familiar to anyone else?
"I'm building a PULSE to slow down the time"
SCOTUS REJECTS PHARMA DEFENSE IN 'PAY FOR DELAY' – One major takeaway from yesterday at SCOTUS: The legal battles over "pay for delay" aren't going away anytime soon. The court ruled that the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals shouldn't have dismissed the FTC's complaint that a brand-name drugmaker violated antitrust law by paying generic firms to delay the release of a cheaper product. The Supreme Court did throw out the pharmaceutical industry's main defense of the billion-dollar patent settlements — that as long as settlements brought generics to market before the brand drug's patent expires, generics and brand-name drugs should be free to strike a deal. But the court's decision leaves it up to lower courts to decide whether each deal violates antritrust law. The POLITICO story: http://politi.co/17TQfJB
-- The decision was seen as a win for the FTC, which has found it challenging to bring legal proceedings against some "pay for delay" deals. The brand name drugmakers and generics, natural rivals on the same side of this issue, were disappointed with the result. But Generic Pharmaceutical Association President and CEO Ralph Neas said he was "pleased" that the court left a legal pathway to settle patent disputes, but he warned that the ruling could raise the administrative burden of patent challenges — possibly hurting consumers' access to generics.

Through a mix of legislation, regulation and coalition building, the state has succeeded — and provided meaningful lessons for healthcare companies along the way. In a two-part series, PwC's Health Research Institute examines how Massachusetts health reform impacted employers, insurers, and healthcare providers — and what this may mean for the US healthcare industry under the Affordable Care Act.

HOUSE COMPOUNDING BILL SURFACES – Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-Va.) is circulating a draft bill to address the oversight gaps revealed by the fungal meningitis outbreak linked to a Massachusetts compounder last fall. The Senate HELP Committee has already passed a bill, but work in the House has lagged as some lawmakers have resisted new legislation, contending that the FDA has all the authority it needs but fell down on the job in the case of the New England Compounding Center. Griffith's bill would reinstate much of a previous law regulating compounders that courts in some regions have ruled against, but eliminates the provision on advertising that has been the subject of the legal disputes. Unlike the Senate bill, it would not establish a new category of compounding manufacturers that would be subject to new FDA oversight. It would allow so-called anticipatory compounding without a prescription, so long as a prescription is given by a provider after administering the drugs. It would also clarify the responsibilities for cooperation among state and federal regulators. The discussion draft: http://politico.pro/11k9JTN
CMS: WE'LL VOID OUT-OF-STATE DME CONTRACTS IN TENN. — CMS officials told Sen. Lamar Alexander that the agency will void the contracts of DME suppliers working in Tennessee who had out-of-state licenses but did not meet Tennessee licensing requirements. The move, which will void contracts for 30 out of 98 state suppliers, comes as the Hill pushes back hard on expansion of the DME program. Citing the large number of remaining suppliers, CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner told Alexander in a letter she is "confident that beneficiaries will continue to have access to a wide variety of quality items and services." CMS has said it will move ahead with the program despite the Hill opposition, arguing that it is reducing costs and beneficiaries aren't complaining. The letter: http://politico.pro/11VlQ9o
-- ALEXANDER ISN'T PLEASED — Alexander, the top Republican on the Senate HELP Committee, said it's "troubling" that nearly a third of Medicare equipment suppliers in his home state were awarded contracts in violation of state law. "While it's appropriate now that the administration will void the contracts it mistakenly awarded, we will continue to monitor the situation to ensure every Medicare beneficiary is able to get the medical equipment they need when they need it," he said in a statement to PULSE.
FAH: MEDICARE SAVINGS COULD BE MUCH HIGHER — Medicare savings could be $1.1 trillion more than the Medicare trustees estimated over the next 10 years if current trends continue, according to a study backed by the Federation of American Hospitals. The study, due to be released this morning, attributes the recent decline in health care spending growth to structural changes in health care, as opposed to economic factors. The federation says the study demonstrates that the health system is on the right course and that lawmakers should not impose new policy changes, including more cuts to providers. "The findings give us sure footing to say that enough is successfully going on in the health care system right now that we really believe firmly that any big changes of policy, whether they are entitlement reforms that add more to what providers or clinicians have to do … or cuts to fund a doc fix, could be problematic," said FAH president and CEO Chip Kahn.

PwC PREDICTION: HEALTH INFLATION SLOWS NEXT YEAR – Citing progress in the ongoing battle to conquer the cost curve, a new report from PwC's Health Research Institute projects health care inflation to drop to 6.5 percent in 2014, which is down from an estimate of 7.5 percent in 2013. Like many others, HRI analysts see a combination of structural changes — partially driven by the ACA — and more penny-conscious consumers contributing to the slowdown in cost growth. But the analysts also warn that an uptick in industry consolidation and the rise of expensive biologics will inflate the medical cost trend next year. The report: http://politico.pro/11UJVNI
SENATE STRIKES HIV ORGAN DONATION BAN — The Senate unanimously approved a bill last night ending a longstanding federal research ban on organ donations between HIV-positive donors and patients. The bill, known as the HOPE Act, would eventually increase the availability of organs for HIV-infected patients if research shows such transplants work and are safe. The Senate bill had co-sponsors ranging the ideological spectrum, from Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) to Rand Paul (R-Ky.). A House version of the bill was introduced by Reps. Andy Harris (R-Md.) and Lois Capps (D-Calif.).
McCASKILL, COBURN LOBBY COLLEAGUES ON 'BOONDOGGLE' – The bipartisan pair are asking colleagues to support their bill repealing the ACA provision giving a Medicare bump to Massachusetts hospitals at the expense of other states. Sens. Claire McCaskill (D-La.) and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) say nine states benefit from the policy, while 40 states see a negative impact from the provision that critics have dubbed the "Bay State Boondoggle."

** A message from UNITE HERE: We've all heard President Trump repeatedly speak about a need to bring drug prices "way down." And 77% of Americans agree that prescription drug costs are unreasonable. Trump also has gone on record saying that drug companies are "getting away with murder" – a point 73% of Americans agree with, saying drug companies make too much profit. Yet, Trump recently nominated drug company executive Alex Azar to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Azar's appointment would contradict Trump's pledge to "drain the swamp" and change Washington D.C.'s pay-to-play atmosphere, where a revolving door shifts federal regulators to high-ranking corporate execs, and back into government positions. Alex Azar's past as a pharma profiteer disqualifies him from DHHS.

A Postal Service employee whose car veered off the Silver Strand last week and overturned died of sudden cardiac arrest, the Medical Examiner's Office said Wednesday.
Donn Alexander Sterling, 62, worked at the Coronado Post Office.
Sterling was driving a Honda sedan south on Silver Strand Boulevard about 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 2 when he lost control of the car. It veered across the boulevard and through Fiddler's Cove Marina parking lot, Coronado police and the Medical Examiner's Office said.
The Honda rolled down a steep embankment and landed on its driver's side on the beach along the bay. Paramedics were not able to revive Sterling.
An autopsy determined Sterling suffered from heart disease due to coronary atherosclerosis, the Medical Examiner's Office said.

Coupon or discount codes are assigned to affiliates to credit them with a commission for each purchase the code is applied to. One or more codes can be assigned to an affiliate.
The following integrations currently support coupon codes:
- Affiliates Ecwid integration
- Affiliates Jigoshop integration
- Affiliates TheCartPress integration
- Affiliates WooCommerce integration
General steps
The usual steps involved in assigning a coupon code to an affiliate are:
1) Create a coupon code in your shop, for example go to (Your shop's menu) > Coupons > Add Coupon to specify the coupon code and determine its parameters. Let's assume the code you have created is 10PCT granting a 10% discount off the whole net order amount.
2) Go to Affiliates > Manage Affiliates and click the edit symbol for an affiliate.
3) Under Affiliate Attributes, click New Attribute, then select Coupons as the attribute key and indicate the coupon code (for example 10PCT) as its value.
4) Hit Add and the code is now assigned to the affiliate.
Now, on any purchase that the code is applied to, the related affiliate will be granted a referral, just as if the customer had made a purchase through the affiliate's link.
Multiple coupon codes can be assigned to an affiliate. The same coupon code can not be assigned to more than one affiliate.
- The integration must support coupon codes and any code assigned to an affiliate must have been created and be valid in the shop.
- To assign a coupon code to an affiliate, edit the affiliate, then add a Coupons attribute. You can add one or more coupon codes, separated by comma.
- Any coupon code can only be assigned to one affiliate.
- Coupon codes assigned to affiliates will override affiliate links: If a coupon code is applied to an order by the customer and the coupon code is assigned to an affiliate, a referral will be granted to that affiliate. This applies even if the customer has visited the affiliate link of another affiliate before.
- If coupons corresponding to different affiliates are applied to an order, there will be as many referrals and the base amount taken to calculate the referral amount will be split equally.
Full commission
Assuming a 10% referral rate for affiliates in general and a net order amount of 100$ with a coupon code applied granting 20% off the net order amount. The net purchase amount will be 80$ and the affiliate will be credited with a 8$ referral.
Split commissions
Assume a 10% referral rate in general and a net order amount of 500$ after coupons A and B applied. Coupon A belongs to affiliate X, coupon B belongs to affiliate Y. There will be 2 referrals, one for affiliate X, another one for affiliate Y, each referral will credit the affiliate with 10% of 500$ split equally so that affiliate X gets a referral of 25$ and so does affiliate Y.

Spoilers ahead!
A few not-so-shocking giveaways about this week's new movie releases, including Justice League and Frank Serpico
Matthew Lickona 6 p.m., Nov. 17
Bad Weather Caused Shortages of Fish and Seafood (El Sudcaliforniano, 1/18/13 by Gerardo Ceja García)
La Paz, BC Sur - Due to prevailing weather conditions in recent days in this capital, the fishmongers at public markets, as well as in grocery stores, have suffered low sales due to a lack of products. Similarly, providers of tourist services have been affected by the bad weather. Yesterday, at 6 o'clock in the morning the harbormaster authorized navigation for small vessels.
Tenants of public markets in La Paz, reported a decline up to 50% on sales of fish. The pierna, cochito, comber or red snapper are products that are scarce. Jovani Sánchez, at Pescadería San Jose, located in the Mercado Madero, commented that since Sunday he began to miss the fish that buyers traditionally consume. The above forced traders to increase the price of the small amount of product available.
The closure to small craft navigation affected coastal fishermen and tourist service providers; those who had not been able to sail in prevailing bad weather. Francisco León Lucero, Member of the Cooperative Society Esterito 2008 and Baja Tour Esterito Manager, said the situation undermined the little money they have, since not being able to embark they had to dip into their savings to survive. They recognized that working at sea with this climate is suicide and would be unlikely to get a good catch. Likewise, the tours offered to Isla Espíritu Santo were suspended which meant another blow to finances. León Lucero, who has been a fisherman for 45 years, said that they will seek support from the authorities.
The Head of Navigation and Maritime Port Captain, Naval Pilot Captain Luis Alonso Herrán Garibaldi, said that navigation for small boats was closed since Sunday, January 13. Captain de Puerto José Luis Hurtado, reported it was already open for the navigation of small boats yesterday so it is expected that fishermen and tourist service providers can perform their work, although he recommended precautions while surfing. http://www.oem.com.mx/elsudcaliforniano/notas/n2846779.htm

The biannual NA Show in Cleveland will show off the latest in innovations in material handling systems and products. As manufacturing comes out of the recession, it's also the time to show off a little confidence. John Nofsinger, CEO of the Material Handling Industry of America, talks about how his organization and his industry sector are preparing for this year's event and the recovery at hand:
PE: There seems to be a much improved mood among manufacturers in 2010. If we're not in a robust rebound, at least everyone believes the worst of the recession may be over. What's the view from MHIA's perspective?
Nofsinger : Our latest Material Handling Equipment Forecast now predicts 2010 orders up nearly 10% over 2009. It's certainly nowhere near the record levels before the "great recession," but it's the beginning of progressive growth through 2012.
PE: As NA approaches, what should attendees be looking forward to this year? What's your expectation for attendance, both among vendors and end users?
Nofsinger : NA 2010 will showcase solutions from approximately 400 Exhibitors. Pre-registrations are up slightly from 2008, which was the largest Cleveland event on record. All equipment, systems, services and IT sectors are well represented and have been busy over the recent downturn developing and evolving new products, features and solutions to the new challenges and opportunities faced by end users.
The expansive exhibit floor is supported by 50 on-floor Educational Seminars as well as a Keynote Seminar Series on The Future Track for sustainability, training, retail distribution and workforce, with speakers' unique market insights and innovative solutions %%MDASSML%% all complimentary to visitors.
NA 2010 will also feature the Supply Chain Summit. This first-time event brings together four distinct views of the supply chain from industry, the military, universities and government. Attendees will gain from their insight into today's supply chains and discover how they will mold and shape leading supply chain models of the future. They'll learn first hand the impact of these supply chain shifts on their business. In addition to presentations, speakers will be available to talk directly with attendees during the reception following the full afternoon event. This exciting event starts Wednesday afternoon at 1 p.m. in the I-X Center Ballroom.
PE: Sustainability is the big manufacturing buzzword, but many plant managers wouldn't see a conveyor system for example, as sustainable. Where do you see this sector's contribution on sustainability?
Nofsinger : Visitors will find both quantity and quality of exhibits that speak to sustainability. Some examples would be returnable/reusable packaging, numerous motive power/battery/fuel systems, energy efficient motors, air handling equipment, controls and monitoring equipment, to name a few.
PE: On the other hand, productivity is a major opportunity for the material handling industry. What are some of the ways plant managers can and should use their systems more effectively to achieve greater productivity?
Nofsinger : Productivity has long been one of the strong suits of the material handling industry. NA is a must go destination for users wishing to reduce labor costs, save space, reduce inventory and enhance safety.
PE: What are some of the key areas of emphasis for MHIA in the coming year?
Nofsinger : MHIA and the 18 Associations operating under the MHIA umbrella are engaged in a wide variety of activities that address a number of relevant and timely issues, including:
Development of national and international product and safety standards
Workforce education and training materials
Research grants to universities to address things like worker and workplace design, efficiency and safety
Tools to help properly select and apply material handling and logistics solutions
Development of networks to effectively respond to natural and national disaster
Research on various technology and demographic issues
Enhancing all activities, including tradeshows, to deliver greater value for all participants.
PE: What will we see in the way of new products and strategies for the material handling industry at NA this year? Why should plant managers go to NA this year?
Nofsinger: As mentioned above, NA will showcase a wide variety of new products and features for handling, moving, storing, protecting and controlling the flow of goods within and between supply chains. Margins for error in selecting and applying material handling and logistics solutions have never been smaller. There is no better way to sort through the options than to see them firsthand and to talk with experts who have a long track record of successful implementations. NA 2010 quite simply assembles the broadest and most comprehensive array of productivity- and profit-enhancing solutions.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

AMD debuts 45nm desktop CPUs at CES
Post a comment
SAN JOSE, Calif. Advanced Micro Devices announced at the Consumer Electronics Show the second processor design to come out of its new 45nm process technology. The Phenom II is a quad-core family of desktop processors running up to 3 GHz with up to 8 Mbytes of on-board cache.
AMD officially rolled out its first 45nm CPUs just weeks ago. The Shanghai processors are quad-core chips aimed at PC servers.
Archrival Intel Corp. already rolled out its second-generation of 45nm chips, starting with desktop versions released in mid-November. The Core i7 CPUs are Intel's first to use an AMD-like architecture of having on-board memory controllers and high-speed processor interconnects.
The AMD Phenom II chips provide up to 20 percent improvements in performance over the original 65nm Phenom CPUs which ran at up to 2.6 GHz. The boost comes from faster data rates, doubling of total cache, improvements in instructions per clock and use of DDR3.
AMD is positioning its parts as having roughly similar performance to Intel's latest desktop chips at significantly lower costs.
"This will be a great spoiler product, well positioned against Core i7," said Simon Solotko, senior brand manager in AMD's desktop division. "There's no good reason to spend hundreds of dollars more on a platform," he added.
AMD is pricing the 3.0 GHz Phenom II for $275 and a 2.8 GHz version for $235. The chips are expected to appear in systems at the Consumer Electronics Show in January.
The competing Intel Core i7 chips include the 965 Extreme Edition, a 3.2 GHz part with 8 Mbytes L3 cache aimed at enthusiast systems and costing $999 and a low-end 920 part running at 2.66 GHz and selling for $284. They are already shipping in several OEM systems.
The CPUs initially come in versions supporting the company's AM2+ socket for DDR2 memory. Later this year AMD will ship versions for its AM3 socket for DDR3 memory.

If you need some New Year's workout motivation, look no further than Norwegian Olympian Ezinne Okparaebo.
On Sunday, the 27-year-old sprinter put the average person to shame by sharing one of her impressive training routines on social media. She needed only five leaps to cover 28 stadium steps.
It definitely isn't the typical approach to stair jumps.
Okparaebo is a two-time Olympian who qualified for the women's 100-metre quarter-finals in Beijing and the semifinals in London. She holds the 100m record in Norway with a time of 11.10 seconds.
She most recently produced a 15th-place finish in the 100m at the IAAF world championships in August.
