Small or Rural Update: Spring 2012 Issue
Small or Rural Update: Spring 2012 (PDF)
The AHA's Section for Small or Rural Hospitals represents and advocates on behalf of more than 1,630 rural hospitals, including 975 critical access hospitals (CAHs). Small or Rural Update gives our members news on legislative and regulatory activities, as well as on Section programs and services. This issue of Small or Rural Update highlights the latest events on Capitol Hill, both legislative and regulatory, and examines a new report on rural hospitals.
The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2011 (HR 3630) - Last December 17, Congress passed two separate versions of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2011. On February 16, Congress resolved its differences between the House and Senate versions of HR 3630. The final version which was signed into law on February 22 extends the Social Security payroll tax holiday and emergency unemployment insurance benefits through December 31, 2012. It also prevents a 27.4 percent cut to Medicare physician payments that was scheduled to take effect March 1, providing physicians with a zero percent update for the remainder of the year. The estimated cost of the physician payment fix is $20 billion. An AHA Special Bulletin summarizes the agreement.
Cuts to hospitals to pay for the physician payment fix include:
- Reductions in payments to acute care inpatient hospitals for assistance to low-income Medicare beneficiaries (bad debt) from the current 70 percent level to 65 percent in fiscal year (FY) 2013, and from 100 percent to 65 percent over three years for CAHs (88 percent in FY 2013, 76 percent in FY 2014, and 65 percent in FY 2015);
- An extension of the current cap on therapy services - and the exceptions process to it - to those services provided in hospital outpatient departments through December 31, 2012 (this currently applies only to services provided in nursing homes and other freestanding settings);
- Reductions to Medicaid disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments in 2021.
Not included were the following proposals, all of which were at risk:
- Reductions in payments for evaluation and management services provided in hospital outpatient departments.
- CMS authority to make additional across-the-board cuts to Medicare inpatient hospital rates through the use of retrospective coding adjustments for FYs 2010, 2011 and 2012.
- Changes to significantly weaken the current law and prohibition on physician self-referral to new physician-owned hospitals and loosen the restrictions for growth on grandfathered facilities.
In addition, the agreement extends several expiring provisions of importance to hospitals, including:
- Section 508 hospital wage index reclassifications (through March 31)
- The outpatient hold-harmless provision for rural hospitals and sole community hospitals (through January 1, 2013)
- Payments for the technical component of certain physician pathology services (through June 30
- Ambulance add-on payments (through Dececember 31)
While temporarily resolving the issue of Medicare payments to physicians, the law adds stress to hospitals that care for vulnerable populations and it limits therapy services provided in hospitals and assistance that helps defray Medicare and Medicaid costs to low-income seniors. While AHA is pleased a number of expiring hospital provisions were extended, we need to ensure that all of the policies are maintained for the remainder of 2012.
Sequester - The supercommittee's failure to reach an agreement as required under the Budget Control Act of 2011 means automatic spending cuts totaling $1.2 trillion split between defense spending and non-defense programs will take effect in January 2013. Under the sequester, reductions in Medicare payments to hospitals and other providers of up to 2 percent over nine years (2013 to 2021) - an estimated $43 billion cut in hospital payments alone, $123 billion in Medicare overall - would result in the loss of about 194,000 jobs. Medicaid is not subject to cuts.
President's Budget FY 2013 - On February 13, President Obama proposed $320 billion in reductions to Medicare and Medicaid as part of his $3.8 trillion fiscal year (FY) 2013 federal budget proposal. An AHA Special Bulletin summarizes the president's 2013 proposal. The president's plan, which is similar to a proposal the White House released in September 2011, calls for cutting Medicare by about $268 billion and Medicaid by $52 billion over 10 years.
Proposed reductions to certain Medicare payments:
- Bad debt: The administration proposes to reduce bad debt payments to 25 percent (from the current 70 percent) for all eligible providers, including hospitals, over three years starting in FY 2013, saving approximately $36 billion over 10 years from all providers.
- Indirect Medical Education (IME): The administration proposes to reduce the IME adjustment by 10 percent beginning in 2014, saving approximately $10 billion over 10 years.
- Rural providers: The administration proposes changes to payments for rural providers. Starting in FY 2013, it would reduce CAH payments from 101 percent to 100 percent of reasonable costs. In addition, effective in FY 2014, it would eliminate the CAH designation for hospitals that are less than 10 miles from the nearest hospital. Together, the administration estimates these rural proposals would save approximately $2 billion over 10 years.
- Post-acute care: The administration proposes several across-the-board post-acute update cuts, along with lowering inpatient rehabilitation facilities' reimbursement for selected patients to the skilled nursing facility level payment, and raising the current IRF 60% Rule threshold to 75 percent. Altogether, the administration estimates these changes would save $63 billion over 10 years.
- Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB): The administration proposes to strengthen IPAB by reducing its growth rate target from GDP per capita plus 1 percent to GDP plus 0.5 percent and providing additional enforcement tools.
Proposed reductions to certain Medicaid payments:
- Medicaid provider taxes: The administration proposes to phase down, but not eliminate, Medicaid provider taxes beginning in 2015, saving $21.8 billion over 10 years.
- Medicaid payment formulas: Beginning in 2017, the administration proposes to replace the current formulas with a single matching rate specific to each state, based on enrollment starting in 2014, that automatically increases if a recession causes enrollment and state costs to rise. The administration then proposes to reduce that rate, which it estimates would save $17.9 billion over 10 years.
- Medicaid DSH payments: Beginning in 2021, the administration proposes to rebase DSH payments, saving $8.3 billion over 10 years. BACK TO TOP
R-HoPE Act - Last October the Senate introduced S. 1680, the Craig Thomas Rural Hospital and Provider Equity Act of 2011 or R-Hope Act and in February Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers (R-WA) introduced a companion bill HR 3859.
The bill includes Medicare extenders for:
Transitional outpatient hold harmless payments through 2013
Low-volume payment adjustments up to 2000 discharges in 2012
Cost-based reimbursement for rural outpatient labs
Elimination of an isolation test for CAH-based ambulance services
Capital infrastructure revolving loan program
Billing for the technical component of physician pathology services
Reimbursement of CAHs for CRNA on-call services
Funds for State Offices of Rural Health
Also, in the bill is the Sense of the Senate that--
(1) residents of rural and frontier communities should have access to affordable, quality health care;
(2) rural and frontier communities face unique challenges in health care delivery and financing;
(3) Federal health policy must reflect the unique needs of residents of rural and frontier communities and such communities in an equitable and sustainable manner; and
(4) stakeholders should work collectively to identify innovative policies that address the availability, delivery, and affordability of health care services in rural and frontier communities.
Other Advocacy Priorities - For rural hospitals, AHA's advocacy agenda includes the extenders as outlined in R-HoPE as well as:
Provider taxes: the Rural Protection Act (H.R. 1398) would amend the Social Security Act to ensure that the full cost of certain provider taxes are considered allowable costs for purposes of Medicare reimbursements to CAHs.
Direct supervision of outpatient therapeutic services: The Protecting Access to Rural Therapy Services (PARTS) Act (S. 778) would establish an advisory panel of clinicians to set up an exceptions process for outpatient therapy services, adopt a default standard of general supervision for outpatient therapeutic services, establish a special rule for CAHs based upon their Medicare Conditions of Participation, revise the definition of "direct supervision" to allow for telemedicine, telephone or other technology, and put in place a hold harmless from civil or criminal action back to 2001.
340B drug discount pricing: the 340B Improvement Act (HR 2674) would extend the 340B drug discount program to inpatient prescriptions
Repealing the IPAB: Companion measures in the House (HR 452) and Senate (S 668) would repeal the IPAB.
Affordable Care Act Legal Challenge - The ACA is being contested in the Supreme Court and scheduled for three days of oral arguments beginning March 26.
There are four separate issues the court has said it would address:
1. If the Anti-Injunction Act bars review of the mandate until after 2014 when the provision goes into effect
2. If the individual mandate is constitutional
3. If the Medicaid provisions are constitutional or represent an illegal commandeering of the states; and
4. Severability or what pieces of the law should fall if the mandate is ruled unconstitutional likely arguing that only the community rating and guaranteed issue provisions should be struck if the mandate is found to be unconstitutional.
AHA and several other national hospital organizations have filed several friend-of-the-court briefs concerning the ACA. The AHA's amicus briefs state the Association's position that:
Individual mandated is constitutional
Medicaid expansions are constitutional
Severability should be decided by the Supreme Court
IF coverage expansions are thrown out…then budget reductions (update factor, DSH, readmissions) also must go
A decision is expected by the Court in late June or early July.

2012 Regulatory Calendar - This very busy timeline includes both the regular rules and ACA rules for 2012. As you can see the standard payment update regulations for Medicare Inpatient PPS, Psych, Rehab, SNF, Hospice, Outpatient PPS and the physician fee schedule for 2013 have not yet been proposed.
In addition, CMS continues to release rules specifically related to health reform implementation, including many around the state insurance exchanges which are being implemented in 2012. Also, the new Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) has introduced rules to implement voluntary pilots around payment and delivery system reform.
Meaningful Use Stage 2 - On February 24, CMS published a Stage 2 proposed rule that specifies criteria that eligible professionals (EPs), eligible hospitals, and CAHs must meet in order to qualify for Medicare and/or Medicaid electronic health record (EHR) incentive payments. It is summarized in a CMS fact sheet and an AHA Special Bulletin. CMS proposes to maintain the same core and menu structure for the program for Stage 2. That is the agency proposes for Stage 2 that EPs must meet or qualify for an exclusion to 17 core objectives and three of five menu objectives. Also, CMS proposes that eligible hospitals and CAHs must meet or qualify for an exclusion to 16 core objectives and two of four menu objectives. In addition, it would specify payment adjustments under Medicare for covered professional services and hospital services provided by EPs, eligible hospitals, and CAHs failing to demonstrate meaningful use of certified EHR technology and other program participation requirements.
This proposed rule also would revise certain Stage 1 criteria, as well as criteria that apply regardless of Stage, as finalized in the final rule titled Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Electronic Health Record Incentive Program.
Late in 2011, CMS and other federal agencies issued guidance including the outpatient PPS rule and conditions of participation for outpatient rehab and respiratory therapy services.
Direct Supervision of Outpatient Services - CMS will use a version of the federal Advisory Panel on Ambulatory Payment Classifications Groups (APC Panel) as an independent review body that will evaluate individual services for a potential change in supervision level. Last November, CMS published a notice on the changes to the Panel and a request for nominations to add four new members to the Panel, two from CAHs and two from non-CAH small rural hospitals. The agency also requested comments on changing supervision levels for individual therapeutic services under the hospital outpatient prospective payment system.
On February 14, CMS posted an announcement in the Federal Register with appointments to the Advisory Panel on Hospital Outpatient Payment (HOP Panel). An announcement of the February 27-28 meeting, and "Requests for Supervision Level Changes for Hospital Outpatient Therapeutic Services" may be found in the Federal Register published December 16, 2011.
CMS estimates that policy decisions on many key services will not be completed until sometime in 2012. Thus, the agency will extend through CY 2012 its enforcement moratorium on the direct supervision policy for outpatient therapeutic services provided in CAHs and in small and rural hospitals with 100 or fewer beds.
Medicare Conditions of Participation - On Nov 18 CMS published Transmittal 72 with revised interpretive guidelines for ordering outpatient rehab and respiratory care services. The AHA urged CMS to clarify its position so that hospitals would not be required to privilege each practitioner who orders these services; CMS should defer to state law and hospital policies.
On February 17, CMS rescinded the interpretive guidance pertaining to rehabilitation and respiratory care services under the hospital Conditions of Participation, issuing revised guidance that allows non-privileged practitioners to order outpatient rehabilitation and respiratory care services in accordance with state license/scope of practice and written hospital policy. The AHA and other stakeholders had raised concerns with the original guidance because it precluded non-privileged practitioners from ordering these services at hospital outpatient departments, thus creating barriers to care for many patients.
Medicare Payment Advisory Committee - In addition to the rules from CMS and other agencies, the Medicare Payment Advisory Committee (MedPAC) is completing work on its ACA mandates as well as making recommendations to Congress on Medicare payment policy. The ACA requires MedPAC to evaluate access to care, quality of care, special rural payments, and the adequacy of Medicare payment to providers in rural areas.
Presently, MedPAC has concluded that when compared to urban hospitals, rural hospitals have:
Fewer physicians, but patient satisfaction is equivalent
Consumption of services is equal - ergo access is equal
Quality is similar, but mortality and process measures are worse
Payment is adequate for Home Health, SNF, Hospice, inpatient rehab, and hospitals
These will be reported to Congress as principles and not recommendations for rural payment adjustments:
Target providers that are the sole source of care
Payments should be empirically justified
Low-volume adjustments should be tied to total volume
Don't duplicate adjustments
Maintain incentives for cost control
MedPAC's report to Congress on ACA mandates for rural hospitals is due June 15, 2012. BACK TO TOP

blackbears are usually pretty skiddish around people but if humans aren't around much then they'll get brave decide to chechout a camp and have a snack and a chew toy. my boss had an issue with a blackbear that liked to bath in his spring fed cow troughs. the only problem was they had a pipe sticking up through the middle so once the water level reached a certain point is would drain out and away from the trough. well mr blackbear didn't like taking a bath with those pipes poking him in the butt the whole time so he learned how to unscrew them...my boss had to patrol his troughs at least 3 times a week to make sure his cows weren't visiting empty troughs. they are clever things..usually they'll shy away from people though unless you get close to their cubs or catch them after their 5 month nap time

Had a wonderful Christmas in Maine. We had a couple of storms along with some adventures in power outages and alternate heating, but aside from the glitches, it was so nice to spend time with Mum, Grammie and many dear friends. Marilyn stopped by one day to visit. We had a spaghetti and meatball supper one night with Elinor, Gail, and John and went to Art and Reneva's open house on Christmas Eve. Gail and John went to church with us afterward and I read a part of the Christmas story during the service. It was different this year; read part of the story and then sing a related Christmas carol. Silent Night by candlelight at the end. It was beautiful.
Flying home was an adventure with the big storm that hit the East Coast the day after Christmas. Bangor was beautiful, LaGuardia was dicey, but Detroit was a disaster. I met up with Steve at the airport. He was coming from Christmas with his family in Boston. Our flight got cancelled and we ended up getting a room overnight and booking a flight for the next day to Milwaukee and then driving home to Madison. It was a long couple of days, but we traveled pretty well together...at least neither of us was harmed... so it was all good! Thank goodness he was there with me. I would have hated to deal with all that alone.
Ben was glad to see me when I picked him up from the kennel. He was exhausted and so was I so a nap was the first order of business! Grammie sent him a hedgehog that made an odd honking noise... for about 5 minutes until he tore out its jugular. He hauls its carcass around everywhere, it's his new favorite thing. Sorry lady bug and Froggie!
Went to the barn last night and, despite the cold, it was so good to catch up with all of the feathered and fur babies again. The llamas are spending the night back in the barn again and let me pat them (after I bribed them with sweet feed), mini-pig princesses, Lola and Lucy, let me tuck them in beneath their warm blankets before I turned out the lights and went home. Even Maude the standoffish goat let me snuggle her. I like to think they missed me as much as I missed them.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and got to spend it with family and friends. Have a safe and happy new year!!!

Sweet new props for Wilde Imagination's Ellowyne are up. These will probably sell out in a jiffy. The chaise is $58 and the working lamp is $62. There is a 15% off code as well (WILDE03). I really like several of the new outfits. I am tempted to get the Rufus outfit as it would make a swell steampunk number! I wish there was an Amber Stanhope without the dread inset eyes. I am not a fan of those.
Evangeline has new dolls and clothes as well. Tangled Web is crazy fun. I love the aqua boots.
Ugh...why do I have to be broke.

This post is exploring certain aspects of my Neo-Omphalos theory, so if you want to become more familiar with what that is, see here.
Before we get into the point of this post, remember that the Neo-Omphalos theory posits that the universe that was created in six days a few thousand years ago was created with not only a present moving into a future, but also a past history as well. The universe was created, then, in that sense, as indefinitely old. The creation history in Genesis and subsequent history is called (following Philip Gosse's own terminology in his book Omphalos) "diachronic" history--"diachronic" meaning "through time." The past history created by the creation of the universe is called "prochronic," meaning "before time." I find this terminology useful and will use it in this and presumably subsequent posts on this subject.
Now, one question that needs to be explored more fully is whether or not prochronic history really occurred. In my original paper (linked to above), I argued that one of the differences between Gosse's original theory and my own is that I take more seriously than Gosse apparently did the fact that any history existing in God's mind is going to be substantial and to have reality. Even what we imagine is real. It really occurs in our minds. If I imagine a pink dragon, that pink dragon really exists in my mind. However, it does not exist in the external world, it is extremely hazy and insubstantial compared to the things that do exist in the external world, it is vague, perhaps incoherent, and temporary (it vanishes as soon as I stop thinking about it, get distracted, etc.). However, if God holds something in his mind, since he is omniscient and perfect, that thing is going to be perfectly substantial, thorough, coherent, etc. In fact, all the world we live in and our very selves only exist because God holds us in being, and he does so (being an infinite Mind) by viewing us as existing. His perceptions of reality, unlike ours, do not simply find things the way they are, but make things to be the way they are. So if God views the created universe as implying a prochronic history, that history is going to be real and substantial. It is not a fake history, or an appearance of a history that never really occurred, but a real history, full of real events and real characters, just like diachronic history is.
I also mentioned in my paper that although it is the case that both diachronic history and prochronic history are real, yet this does not mean that both are on the same level. I mentioned that one might be tagged on as a back story to the other. I want to elaborate on that a bit here, because I think that there is more that needs to be drawn out on this point. One reason why we ought to think more about this aspect of the relationship between diachronic and prochronic history (beyond simply that it is good to get at the truth and understand reality as accurately as we can) is that God's view of history, expressed in the Bible, strongly suggests that God views prochronic history as subordinate to diachronic history.
The Bible gives us a timeline of history stretching from the time of the last recorded letters of the apostles all the way back to the creation of the universe. This is diachronic history. Prochronic history is nowhere to be found in any of this. It is simply not mentioned as being a part of history. Now, one could argue that this is because prochronic history is not real and NO is false; but we need not say that, nor should we, because, as I showed in my paper, the existence of some kind of prochronic history follows necessarily from the very idea of the creation of the space-time universe. So if there is, and must be, some kind of prochronic history, why does the Bible not include it in its narrative of history?
I think the answer is that God does not view the events of prochronic history as events of real history. He does not see these events as occurring on the timeline of the history of our universe. But surely he must view them in some way, for they are real. So how and where does he see them as existing? I posit that God sees prochronic history not as events occurring in history's timeline, but as a conceptual implication of the nature of the created universe created by the creation events of diachronic history. In other words, God views diachronic history as the real narrative history of the universe, while he views prochronic history as a conceptual part of the essence of the universe that exists in diachronic history.
To perhaps illuminate this idea further, imagine that you have a time machine, programmed to follow the narrative of history. You go back in time to explore the history and origin of the universe. What will you find? I am proposing that you will find nothing but diachronic history, and you will go straight back to the six days of creation. Perhaps you would be puzzled, wondering where to look to find prochronic history. You won't find it as events on the timeline of history. Instead, you would find it if you were to examine carefully the essence of the universe that exists along the timeline of history. If you examine the created universe, you will see embedded in or logically implied in its essence another narrative, different from that narrative played out in history's timeline. This narrative, conceptually built into the essence of the created universe and the essences of the things in it, is the prochronic history.
So Gosse was not that far from the mark when he described diachronic history as "real" and prochronic history as "not real" but only "ideal," existing not in reality but only in the mind of God. Of course, all reality exists in the mind of God, so the terminology is a bit misleading. And we must remember, as I said earlier, that any narrative existing in the mind of God is going to have a full, completed, coherent, and solid substance due to the lack of limitations in God's mind. In its own sphere, then, prochronic history is going to be just as real and substantial as diachronic history. However, though both are real in their own spheres, the relationship between the two allows us to see some merit in Gosse's original terminology. Diachronic history is the actual narrative of history, while prochronic history exists not as events on the timeline of history but only as a conceptual part, or a conceptual implication, of the essence of the created universe. Prochronic history might very well then be called "ideal" as opposed to the "actuality" of diachronic history, even though both are real in their own spheres. Prochronic history is not a fake, nor is it the case that the world is designed to appear to have some characteristic that it actually does not. For God to have made the universe in this way would be for him to have associated falsehood with the basic nature of the universe, and I believe that this would have been contrary to his nature as a being who hates falsehood and loves truth and created the universe to reflect his own non-deceptive values and goals. (It was this concern which was probably the main thing that led Christians to reject Gosse's original idea.) No, prochronic history is a real part of the universe--so the appearances of a previous history in the universe match up with something real about the universe--but its relationship with diachronic history is such that it is attached onto it as a conceptual part or implication of its essence rather than its events being included as distinct events on the diachronic timeline. This is why we can talk of the prochronic history of the sun, for example, coming into being along with the sun as the sun is created in the creation events of the diachronic timeline. The prochronic history is created by the creation events of the diachronic timeline, and it is accordingly subordinate to it. And that is why the Bible traces history not through the prochronic timeline but through the diachronic timeline all the way back to the beginning of creation. God views the diachronic timeline as the true narrative of history, recording the true, ultimate origins of the universe, while he views prochronic history not as the true history or origin of the universe but as a conceptual component of the created universe. Every moment of time implies a preceding moment (that is, the earlier moments are included as part of its conceptual essence), and yet also God, through the events recorded in Genesis, created time and space a few thousand years ago out of nothing.
UPDATE 6/19/13: I think it will also shed light on this subject to link it to the potential/actual distinction I discussed in my original paper.
In my paper, I discussed the paradoxes that arise from the concepts of space and time (and dimension and extension, more broadly). I showed how the paradoxes are solved by recognizing that space-time reality only exists in the viewpoints of finite perceivers. The creation of the space-time universe was the creation of a finite point of view. This allows us to distinguish between potential and actual in our discussions of the infinites we run into in any examination of dimensionality. So, for example, every moment in time implies a preceding moment, and thus the universe must have a potentially infinite past. Yet, because time exists only in the viewpoints of finite perceivers, time in actuality only goes back as far as it is viewed/experienced by finite minds. Thus, the actual past is finite, and we avoid the paradoxes of an actual infinite past. The past goes back as far as the finite viewpoint perceives it, and then its actuality stops or has a starting point. Anything before that, since not actually viewed, exists only in potentiality. That is, the events of the potential past history before the first moment actually perceived by a finite mind are never actualized. They exist only in the sense that there is a definite potential form that they would take if they were viewed by a finite mind, derived from the definite nature/will of God who is their source. That is, if I could go back into that potential past and actualize some moment in it, there would be a definite form that moment would take, and it would be in logical continuity with that which comes after it, both in potential and in actual history. But in fact, since it is not actually viewed, it remains only potential and not actual. Or we could say that it exists only as a conceptual implication of actual history rather than being actualized as events within actual history. Or we could use the language of a back story tied on as a conceptual implication to an actualized story. Etc.
This potential/actual distinction exists in all other areas where we have potential infinites in the world as well--such as in space, in the calculation of pi, and in the divisible pieces of material objects. Pi is an interesting example, and one I didn't discuss in my original paper. Pi, famously, is potentially infinite, in that one never can come to the end of calculating it out. It can be calculated out forever. But because actual infinites can't exist--the space-time world being inherently finite--it will ever only be calculated out to a finite degree, no matter how amazing our future computers become. Beyond the point of the most distant calculation yet made, pi goes on with potential infinity. But, as dimension exists only in finite viewpoints or in finite perception, the further decimal places of pi do not exist in actuality but only in potentiality. That is, there is a definite form that will arise, logically connected to what has come before, at any point in the stream of decimals. But the form is only potential and never actualized unless some finite mind actually calculates it out to that degree. Again, this solves the paradox that would exist if we imagined that pi actually exists somewhere calculated out to infinity.
To tie this back to the discussion of Neo-Omphalos, what I propose is that the actual, finite past of our universe corresponds to diachronic history, while the potential, infinite past corresponds to prochronic history. In creating the space-time universe, God created a finite point of view in which space and time exist. This creation is recorded in Genesis 1-11. The creation of the finite point of view corresponds with the creation of the actual universe and the commencement of actual history. Actual history carries on until the end of the world (at least), so long as God continues to preserve in being this continuous finite point of view. The finite point of view in which space-time exists seems basically to correspond with the human point of view, as humans are the focal point of the creation and it is within the story of the human race that God carries out his purposes for history. The universe began to be created five days before Adam and Eve were created on day six of the creation week; but even though there were no humans during those first five days, the creation was building up to them, and they were the pinnacle of what was being created. This is why the creation of the universe during all of the six days takes place from a human vantage point. For example, why is the earth created on day one (and then further organized on days two and three), while the sun and stars aren't created until day four? If you look at it in one way, this appears very strange, considering that the earth is a very, very small speck in a gigantic universe. That which was created on day four astonishingly dwarfs that which was created in the first three days. Wouldn't it have made more sense to have created the stars first, then the sun, and then the earth? Perhaps so, if we are imagining the creating taking place from the vantage point of someone somewhere out in the universe far away from the earth. But God creates the world from the vantage point of someone standing on the earth, and thus the earth is formed first and then things are formed around it. This is because creation was the creation of a finite point of view, and that point of view was the point of view of the finite beings that are humans.
So actual history begins when the finite viewpoint begins, which is on day one of the creation week. However, temporality necessarily involves potential infinity, because every moment implies a preceding moment. So when God brought the actual universe into being, attached to it (so to speak) was a conceptual, potential back story or past history potentially infinite in scope. This is the prochronic history. Since the events of prochronic history do not occur during the period in which the finite viewpoint actually exists, prochronic history, unlike diachronic history, remains only potential and never actual. Thus, we can and should say that actual history is diachronic history and prochronic history is not actual history but only conceptual and potential. It exists not as actualized events but only as a conceptual implication of diachronic reality. But it is also true that, while only potential and conceptual, it has a definite form just as the further potential calculations of pi have a definite form. Therefore, we can say that, in its own sphere (that is, taking into account its potential as opposed to actual nature), it is a real part of the creation. And since it is tied into the creation as part of its nature, the definite form of prochronic history will leave marks in the nature and essence of diachronic reality. So, for example, if we find dinosaur fossils in the ground dating back to 70 million years ago, these fossils are there and have the form that they have not for no reason, but because they are the logical implication of certain aspects of prochronic history. So, on the one hand, we do not say that the dinosaur lived in actual history, for it lived only in the potential, conceptual history that is prochronic history. However, on the other hand, we do not say that the fossils were planted in the ground as a deceptive appearance corresponding to nothing real. They do correspond to something real--they correspond to the definite events of prochronic history, and their nature is determined not arbitrarily but by the logical relationship that exists between themselves and certain prochronic events.
This is why we have an account of diachronic history in Genesis, while mainstream science (that is, the historical sciences such as paleontology) only tells us about the prochronic history. Genesis is God's eye-witness account of what actually happened in the past, while the natural sciences can't actually go back and see what happened in the past. They can only examine clues embedded in the universe and try to infer from them some past historical narrative. Since the universe was created in light of a prochronic back story and with an intended overall continuity with that back story (though with some significant, but probably not typically scientifically noticeable, discontinuities arising from the diachronic creation narrative), the clues that natural scientists find tend to be tied to the universe's prochronic history. There is no way to tell from these clues by themselves whether the narrative they point to is diachronic or prochronic, and so Naturalistic scientists (and more liberal Christian scientists who don't take Genesis's historical claims seriously enough) tend to assume they are piecing together diachronic rather than prochronic history (though they don't put it that way, of course!). This is why they think that science and Genesis are in conflict. But they aren't, if we add the insight that the natural clues point to prochronic rather than diachronic history. (I'm assuming in this discussion, of course, that mainstream science is basically right in many of its fundamental assertions about the age and history of the earth and universe. I'm actually not convinced that that is necessarily the case, but one can only talk about so many things at one time!)
Again, in short, diachronic history corresponds to actual history as it is actually viewed within the created finite viewpoint in which exists our actual space-time universe. Prochronic history, on the other hand, corresponds to the non-actualized potential or conceptual history that exists as appended onto diachronic reality as a logical aspect of its nature (in that temporality requires a potentially infinite past).

In-house competition, organizational slack, and the business cycle
This paper analyses the impact of variations of product demand on the amount of internal slack in multi-plant firms in a model in which facilities can produce output at a privately known cost up to a previously-determined capacity level. In such a model, the amount of slack in the firm is shown to be pro-cyclical. Indeed, as capacity constraints become tighter in booms, slack increases in booms, because the power of in-house competition is reduced, while the opposite is true in downturns. Also, in downturns the firm may use high-cost facili-ties even when low-cost plants are not running at capacity.

This year, and until March 17, Leclaireur welcomes you at Design Days Dubai.
Martine & Armand Hadida have chosen to highlight Pierre Bonnefille's artistry with an installation entirely dedicated to the Master of Art's work.
Bonnefille's new « Bronze Box » shares the spotlight with the nature-inspired, geometrically-shaped « Metamorphosis » collection, and several limited editions of his « Bronze Paintings » and « Furoshiki Drawings ». Each piece presented offers playful and astounding interpretations of light and the contrasts it offers.
Basking in an almost divine glow, the « Bronze Box » pulls the visitor out of Time's embrace, creating a safe haven that favors meditation. Outside, rich with bronze powder textures, the « Bronze Paintings » reflect a myriad of oneiric landscapes born out of… light. As for the « Furoshiki Drawings », they channel the quintessential movements found in the traditional Japanese art of fabric wrapping. Such virtuosity finds its way into Bonnefille's rendition on paper, through the bronze and carbon pigments. Each gesture seems to have crystallized – in two dimensions – the memory of a three-dimensional millenary tradition.
After both editions of PAD Paris and London last year, and following the opening of its latest space in Los Angeles, largely dedicated to design, Leclaireur maintains its focus and continues developing its vision on the international Design scene.
No firm plans to stop by Dubai this week? Leclaireur and Pierre Bonnefille look forward to seeing you in New York, attending Collective Design Fair, May 3-7, 2017.

IAB Report – Renault announces 1.6-liter diesel engine with 25% better mileage
Anjan Ravi, I'm a true-blooded petrolhead. Hope you enjoy our news stories, launch coverages, motorshow coverages and test drive reports.
Renault has announced an all-new diesel engine which promises 25 percent improvement in fuel consumption over a similar engine. The Renault Energy dCi 160 is the first engine from the French carmaker to benefit from twin-turbocharging.
This 1,598 cc diesel engine produces 160 hp and 380 Nm of torque, which, according to Renault, is in the league of 2-liter engines in terms of performance. Thanks to the twin-turbos, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions face reductions of 25 percent, says Renault.
Speaking about the turbochargers, Renault says that the first turbo is a "very low inertia" turbo providing high low-end torque for pull-away and mid-range acceleration. About 90 percent of the 380 Nm of torque is available from 1,500 rpm thanks to this turbo.
The second turbocharger works at higher engine speeds and produces as much as 100 hp per liter of displacement. Thanks to these twin-turbos, the engine is always at its optimum efficiency, which in turn results in better fuel efficiency and emissions, says Renault.
Renault says that this engine will find application in its D- and E-segment models. In India, this engine could be an ideal fit for the Koleos SUV, which otherwise uses a 2.0-liter diesel engine. Renault may also extend this engine to Mercedes-Benz, which could use it to power the base models of the new C and E Class.

Belly Timber
"Belly Timber"? What kind of name for a restaurant is that? Is that a term loggers use for food? Someone enlighten me. I'm not from Oregon. Is it actually a common, everyday phrase that I have avoided coming into contact with until now?
I'm sure the restaurant's food will be very delicious. It just sounds strange, and splintery.

You've heard it so many times before, but it bears repeating simply because it's truth: Take the time to enjoy your children today, because this season of your life will soon be gone.
It really does seem like just yesterday that I became a mom for the first time...but in all actuality, my first-born will turn 20 in about a month. Time flies, doesn't it?!
Wherever you are in your journey as a mom, take a moment today to enjoy each one of your children, exactly as they are, right now. Cement it into your memory, because it will mean so much to you in the coming years. Enjoy them now, store up memories for later, and be blessed all the way around!
Our children are a gift from the Lord, a treasure of unspeakable worth. Sometimes when the days are long, the laundry pile has become mountainous, and homeschooling feels overwhelming, we forget that simple truth. Step back, take a deep breath, and enjoy your kids today. You'll never once regret it!
May you be richly blessed today as you homeschool for His glory!
Day 231 done :)
Jan L. Burt
PS - Check out my daughter's updated website...she had a lot of fun making some changes :)
PPS - If you think of it, keep our family in prayer as we continue to face long-term unemployment. We know that all the Lord's promises prove true and we are eagerly expecting His answer to our prayers for a job for my hubby :)

A decade has passed since the city of Pittsburgh was reduced to ash.
While the rest of the world has moved on, losing itself in the noise of a media-glutted future, survivor John Dominic Blaxton remains obsessed with the past. Grieving for his wife and unborn child who perished in the blast, Dominic relives his lost life by immersing in the Archive - a fully interactive digital reconstruction of Pittsburgh, accessible to anyone who wants to visit the places they remember and the people they loved.
Dominic investigates deaths recorded in the Archive to help close cases long since grown cold, but when he discovers glitches in the code surrounding a crime scene - the body of a beautiful woman abandoned in a muddy park that he's convinced someone tried to delete from the Archive - his cycle of grief is shattered.
With nothing left to lose, Dominic tracks the murder through a web of deceit that takes him from the darkest corners of the Archive to the ruins of the city itself, leading him into the heart of a nightmare more horrific than anything he could have imagined.

"Trigger Warning: Violence Against Women..."
...and brutality in general. When you're reading, as opposed to listening, it's easy to skip over graphic violence. Not so easy when you're driving down the highway and hey, here's the rape, mutilation scene. Let's just turn the sound off. I did that or skipped ahead--frequently.
There was quite a bit of graphic violence in general and I almost quit listening a number of times due to that and the whole "adware" thing. Listening to the "ads" being fed to the main character was frequent, annoying, redundant, and unnecessary to the actual plot. And Dominic's grieving for a wife dead 10 years? He spends most of the novel reliving scenes from their lives through drugs and a form of virtual reality, which got deadly dull pretty fast. It really was a relentlessly depressing book.
On the other hand: interesting premise and plot, excellent writing, super duper audio narrator.
"When the past hold back the future"
Thomas Sweterlitsch's Tomorrow and Tomorrow is a subtle warning about living in the past when our ability to document the present becomes all encompassing. 10 years after Pittsburgh has been obliterated by a suitcase nuc, a virtual reality reconstruction has been made by integrating all the various recordings both public and private (webcams, traffic cams, security cams, etc.). People can experience life in Pittsburgh right up to the explosion. John Dominc Blaxton was a former resident, but out of town, while his pregnant wife was killed. John now works as an investigator, following up insurance claims and spending his time on drugs reliving his time with his wife. He becomes involved in a missing person's case that gradually develops into something more sinister that threatens losing his wife a second time and perhaps even his life.
The sci-fi elements are an advanced virtual reality that is immersive in nature. The overall feel of the tale is more of a detective thriller with lots of general sleuthing with an almost terrifying view of evolving digital trends that is overly intrusive, ever present, and downright annoying. The message of the tale is that when the past can be made so real, the future offers little to look forward to.
The narration is well done with a good range of voices and pacing.
"Great listen"
Overall, I really enjoyed this story. The narrator Adam Paul really brought the story alive.

Catalan president believes meeting with Mariano Rajoy is imminent
Both leaders are willing to hold talks in the coming days
The countdown has begun for the meeting between Catalan president Carles Puigdemont and his Spanish counterpart, Mariano Rajoy. Yesterday both leaders hinted that they will be seeing each other in the near future. During an interview on Catalunya Ràdio, the Catalan premier indicated that the meeting might happen before the end of January. Later Rajoy followed suit by stating that he "would not object" to a meeting in the coming days. Nevertheless, both presidents will turn up for the occasion having established their position on the main item of the agenda: the independence referendum in Catalonia.
While Tuesday's meeting between Spanish vice president Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría and her Catalan opposite Oriol Junqueras left no hope for a negotiated referendum, yesterday the Spanish president insisted that he will not allow a vote on Catalan independence, no matter what: "I shall not authorise any referendum that affects Spain's unity, our national sovereignty and the equal treatment of all Spaniards", he warned after meeting Irish prime minister Enda Kenny at Palacio de la Moncloa.
Rajoy's position clashes head-on with Puigdemont's plan. Yesterday the Catalan president insisted that he is committed to holding a vote on independence, which he claimed will be "effective and binding, with my government's commitment to act upon its outcome". Following Barcelona mayor's hint that she might support an "effective" referendum, regardless of whether it is allowed by Madrid, the Catalan premier argued that it will be the citizens who will validate the referendum and he listed some of the guarantees that his government must offer: information on the vote must be made available, all potential voters should have a chance to cast their ballot, the government should guarantee a level playing field, both camps should have the chance to be heard and everyone must vote on equal terms while being fully aware of the consequences of their vote.
Puigdemont also insisted that the referendum will be held, even if Madrid opposes it: "if we can organise the referendum, then it will happen. And that's the end of that."
"We will persevere"
Last night the Catalan president posted a video on Twitter thanking his cabinet for their work in the last year and he remarked that his government's "sole purpose" is to carry out "the mandate of the Catalan people to transition our nation from its current regional status to the threshold of independence that we must conquer together. This is our goal and we will persevere. And we will achieve our objective within the promised time frame".
Despite the chasm that separates both leaders on the subject of independence, Mariano Rajoy claimed that he is willing to discuss everything else, including "the budget, public spending and all matters that concern people's everyday life" and, once again, he urged the Catalan president to reconsider his decision not to attend the Conference of regional presidents scheduled for next Tuesday in Madrid's Senate.
Catalan PP leader sets conditions
Xavier García Albiol, the leader of the PP in Catalonia and in the Catalan parliament, did set some conditions for the meeting between the two presidents. During an interview with the Catalan public TV, Albiol claimed that Rajoy is willing to meet Puigdemont provided that some sort of "agreement" comes out of the meeting, be it on health care policies, regional funding or public works.

Flight cancellations, utility crews mobilized amid threat of 'historic' Nor'easter
We're already starting to see some of the ripple effects here at home. A number of flights at Detroit Metro Airport have already been delayed or canceled.
As many as 1,700 flights are expected to be canceled throughout the day across the country.
Powerful winds, coastal flooding and power outages are also expected in the storm. Some utility crews from Michigan are heading to the area to be available to assist with the aftermath.
More than 50 Consumers Energy employees are being mobilized. The utility crews, technicians, mechanics and supervisors from around Michigan plan to travel east on Monday from Dundee. Another 100 contractors also are expected to be available.
The workers will travel initially to New York state, but will go where needed. The unit of Jackson-based CMS Energy Corp. says the workers could be in the Northeast a week or more.
The snow from this nor'easter is not expected to hit the metro Detroit area.

Joe Satriani Remembers Giving Guitar Lessons to Kirk Hammett: 'He Was Already Shredding'
Guitar master gives Metallica kudos for pioneering guitar efforts.
Apart from being one of the top guitarists of all time, Joe Satriani is well known as the guitar teacher of some of the prominent axemen such as Alex Skolnick, Steve Vai, Rick Hunolt, Larry LaLonde and Kirk Hammett.
Recently asked about the Metallica guitarist, Joe shared nothing but praises for Hammett's guitar playing, as well as the band's contribution to music.
"The main thing with Kirk that was really a lot of fun was he was a really good guitar player when he walked [through] the door," Satch told Concertfly. "He was already playing lead guitar for Exodus, so he was already shredding. He had a great right hand, he knew most of his chords, he just didn't learn how to play in an environment where he learned all the names and how to connect everything together.
"So my job was to take advantage of the fact that his fingers were already moving like crazy, and we could focus entirely on melodic and harmonic possibilities that he hadn't yet been exposed to, which means I would show him more developed chord structures," Joe continued. "I would show him how to figure out what key he was in, and I would show him all the different melodic possibilities that exist, scales basically. That's a fancy way of saying I had to show him scales and he had to practice them all over the neck.
"The thing that was very interesting that a lot of people don't realize, is that it was very exciting because I noticed that Kirk's age, all the way down to let's say about 10 years old, my students were at the very beginning of what turned into thrash metal, and what became what everybody knows as Metallica and every other band that was sort of under their wing there," the guitarist further explained. "They were coming up with material that changed the harmonic structure that a then budding lead player would be stuck playing over. So for instance, I wouldn't know the names of the songs, but Kirk would bring in some chord progressions and he'd say, 'Hey, me and James were working on this thing and I think there's going to be a solo over this section, but I have no idea what key it's in.'"
Giving Metallica kudos for pioneering efforts, Satriani added, "In those songs people hadn't really soloed over chord structures like that, they weren't blues chord structures, they weren't pop structures, they weren't jazz structures. It wasn't cut and dry, and I think if you took even somebody as accomplished as Steve Lukather, who during that time was the first-call electric guitar player in LA for sessions. He probably would have looked at the chord progression and gone: 'Oh my god, what are you going to do over this?' What it took was the new generation to say 'Okay, I'm not going to get psychedelic, I'm not going to get bluesy, I have to create a new path to solo over this new kind of chord progression.'"

Unanswered: Code runs but doesn't save the file
I have a file which opens in one directory and when closed the user is presented with a different directory to save in.
The code attached lets me present the user with the proper name, allows you to click all of the right buttons but doesn't save the file.
If I click on an existing name it will let ask me to replace the file.

Could the reason that nothing is saved be because there isn't actually any code that saves anything?

Two days ago, after a long, healing conversation and some actual pleasure in each other's company, my WH looked at me at the end of the day and said, "Do you realize that today was Wednesday?" I hadn't thought about it until he said it.
It's a baby step, I grant you, but still a step. Today I have hope that I might not be trapped in hell forever.
I wish you many more baby steps
