The Film Festival Reader
What is the importance of film festivals in the context of film culture at large? What logic reigns within the film festival galaxy? Are film festivals tools of power and prestige that make or break the fate of a film? Or do they effectively seal diverse and unique cinema from the wider public whilst simultaneously professing to celebrate it? What are the key features and who are the key stakeholders of the film festival? What, if anything, is wrong with the concept of 'festival films'? What makes a good film festival good or a bad one bad?
It is these and other questions that are raised and treated in the classic texts included in this collection. Festivals, for so long a key component of film culture, have been ignored in film studies scholarship that is still dominated by textual approaches. They were neither consistently discussed in the public domain nor were they included in teaching related to film history. This is now rapidly changing. Nowadays, we see a proliferation of concrete and general studies on film festivals and the emergence of a fuller understanding of the actual dynamics of film culture. It is in this context that we offer a representative anthology that collects some of the important texts that have fostered the thinking on festivals so far.

Finlay McIntyre (aka Raven) is a successful adult film star with a penchant for kilts, until an accident cuts short his stardom and leaves him with zero sexual desire, lowered self-esteem, and no job. He knew his porn career wouldn't last forever, but he wasn't prepared for retirement at twenty-eight. While trying to figure out the rest of his life, Raven agrees to attend a high school reunion. That's when a malfunctioning AC unit in his hotel room changes everything.
Caleb Sanderson, an entrepreneur with his own HVAC business, has no idea what to expect when he steps into Raven's hotel room to fix his AC unit. They're attracted to each other, but Caleb, closeted, can't afford a gay relationship, not with his mom pressuring him to produce grandchildren. If he wants to keep Raven—who no closet could hold—he'll need to tell his family the truth. But Raven has a few secrets of his own. He refuses to reveal his porn past to Caleb, a past that might be the final obstacle to Caleb and Raven having any kind of relationship.
If a book makes me cry not only sad tears but happy and frustrated tears then it's an automatic 5 for me.
I can't remember the last KC Burn books I've read? I did the Toronto Tales on audio (AMAZING) And I'll probably do this one as well, when they put it on audio.
We've got Raven, an ex-adult film start who on the outside is very confident but the inside is very insecure, and this accident didn't help. He's had a hard life, and has worked hard for everything in it.
Caleb, is much like Raven. Confident on the outside but living a lie. He's from a big mixed family and is firmly in the closet, even though his best friend and cousin is out to the same family.
As Raven has been hired to be an escort for a weekend and Caleb is hired to fix the PTAC unit inside the same hotel room Raven is staying in, sparks fly the first time they meet. Raven can't get Caleb out of his head and sabotages the unit just to get to see Caleb one last time.
When these two meet and greet for the second time you can tell we've got something special going on.
The sweet, shy dance they do until Caleb puts his foot in his mouth is amazing. Been a while since I've read 'courting'.
Of course the make is is pretty good as well.
Number 305. The best number in the entire world right now, since it meant the first day with Jeremy was done. Raven dug in his sporran for his room key, ready to open the door and kiss the generic beige carpet.
With a big smile, he pushed open the door and let it swing shut behind him while he fumbled for the light switch. Then he blinked, and his smile fell away. Sweat popped up on his skin. The extreme heat in his refuge wasn't a carryover from the third beer or from the unpleasant company but because his thermostat was set on the seldom-used hellfire setting.
He strode over to the beat-up old air-conditioning unit. Which still had a dial. Was the entire hotel like this or was he just lucky? Studying the unit, he didn't see any reason why it shouldn't be working. All the settings were correct, and yet it was blowing hot air against his legs. A swift thump with his fist didn't help, either. Fuck.
The hotel better be able to fix this or give him a new room.
An hour later, Raven stepped out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist. He used another towel to rub at his hair, before tossing it over the back of a chair. His hair was wet enough that water trickled down his bare chest, but he ignored the sensation. After all, his room was still as hot as the surface of the sun. No way was he starting up a hair dryer now.
Although he wasn't too keen on letting in mosquitos or palmetto bugs, the muggy night had to be cooler than this. Closer inspection of the window revealed he'd need tools of some kind to open the damned thing.
The cool shower had helped, but if the hotel didn't send someone to fix this soon, he was going to have to have another one, in the midst of a fucking mental meltdown.
A loud knock had Raven running for the door, but he stopped himself from just flinging it open, in case it was Jeremy on the other side and not the eagerly awaited A/C repair guy.
"Yes?" He wasn't about to trust the funhouse lens of the peephole. "You called about a faulty A/C unit?" Oh. Raven shivered slightly. No way did that low, rumbly voice
belong to Jeremy. Of course, there was no way the repairman could possibly live up to a voice that sexy. He could make a fucking fortune as a voice-over actor, though.
Raven shook himself. "Sorry, yes, I did." After quickly unlocking the door, Raven opened it.
He didn't know how long he stood there, in shock, before he moved out of the way, but it couldn't have been as long as it felt.
The repairman was every bit as sexy as the voice promised. Clean cut, dark brown hair, warm cognac eyes, a slight hint of freckles across caramel skin. He was a little older than Raven, a little shorter than Raven, and built like a construction worker. A calendar-worthy construction worker.
"Hi there. I'm Caleb Sanderson, and yes, you do have a problem with your unit." Caleb, who didn't emphasize the word "unit" to add any innuendo, flashed him a white smile that revealed his parents could afford orthodontia.
"Uh, hi. Please say you can fix the—" With some effort, he managed to avoid saying "unit." "Please fix it."
Caleb nodded and walked over to the unit… fuck…. Raven wasn't able to avoid adding an innuendo-laden emphasis on the word even in his own mind.
When Caleb crouched down, faded denim stretched across an ass so fine Raven had to bite back a whimper. Blood rushed to his groin, and he grabbed the towel from the chair to hide his burgeoning erection. Where was his fucking leather sporran when he needed it?
His pulse picked up and his stomach fluttered. He wasn't sure if he was more turned on or freaked out, because he hadn't been sexually aroused in the presence of another man since his accident.

After moving from Toronto to Florida for her husband to take a dream job, she discovered a love of gay romance and fulfilled a dream of her own—getting published. After a few years of editing web content by day, and neglecting her supportive, understanding hubby and needy cat at night to write stories about men loving men, she was uprooted yet again and now resides in California. Writing is always fun and rewarding, but writing about her guys is the most fun she's had in a long time, and she hopes you'll enjoy them as much as she does.

Handy's Best Fit Approach
His Idea
Handy (1993) suggests that effective performance depends on how good a fit exists between the preferences of both leaders and subordinates and the demands of the task to be undertaken. The way the fit is achieved, i.e. which factors will adapt or be adapted, will depend on the environment (or organisation setting).
Influencing Factors
In any situation that confronts a leader there are four sets of influencing factors that he or she must take into consideration:
Depending On
These factors and their fit will in their turn all depend to some extent on:
Handy maintains that there is no such thing as the "right" style of leadership, but that leadership will be most effective when the requirements of the leader, the subordinates and the task fit together. This fit can be measured on a scale that runs from "tight" to "flexible".
The Leader
Their preferred style of operating and their personal characteristics.
The Subordinate
Their preferred style of leadership in the light of the circumstances.
The Task
The job, its objectives and its technology.
The Environment
The organisational setting of the leader, the group and the importance of the task.
Tight ___________________________________ Flexible
Handy goes on to explain that there is no fixed measuring device for this scale - it is a low-definition subjective tool of analysis. The suggestion is that the three factors in any situation can be roughly placed along this scale.

Video: Louisville Fans Will Like This Final Four Recap Rap
It's only been just over a week since Louisville claimed the national championship in men's basketball, but that doesn't mean it's too early for fans to start reminiscing. Thanks to rapper Nick Javas, it's now easier than ever.
Javas put together a rap track to cover the entire Final Four, and it's actually pretty well done. Considering how terrible most YouTube videos are, this one was a pleasant surprise.

5 Trips To Take After A Bad Breakup Aug 29, 2016 by Sarah (Awesome Escape Blogger)
Breakups can be one of the hardest times in our lives. After a breakup we can become stuck in a bad headspace, haunted by familiar places and old faces. Getting away and taking some time for yourself after a bad relationship can be beneficial for many reasons—not just to escape your ex. Traveling after a breakup gives you time to start setting new goals for yourself (we recommend avoiding a new relationship) and letting loose and having fun in your own way. If you're in need of some time away to get over a certain someone, here are some of our recommended destination plans.
All-Inclusive Resorts
When you invest in a trip to an all-inclusive resort, it is simple to entertain yourself on your own—it's all organized for you. Depending on your style, you can party late at night with people you've never met, or you can go to bed early, wake up early, exercise, eat healthy, and relax on the beach. If you're not feeling social, don't feel the need to go out of your way to meet new people or socialize while you're away—an attentive staff means that you don't need to go out of your way to be sociable if you don't want to, either. This is time for you to do what you need to do to take care of yourself. After all, getting away after a breakup is all about taking the time you need and getting to a point where you can feel like yourself again.
Las Vegas
If you're looking to let loose and just have a wild time, gather a group of friends and head to Las Vegas for a couple of days! From their monumental hotels and enormous pool parties to the countless shows and the endless array of casinos, if you want to forget your breakup completely for a few days, Las Vegas is the way to go. While you're there, you could take a quick visit to the Grand Canyon for some sightseeing, or hit the strip and give yourself some retail therapy. There are a ton of different things that you can do while you're in Vegas! What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas—just don't get married.
New York City
Anyone who has been to New York City knows just how easy it is to fall in love with the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple. Head to the city and let your mind run away with the infinite possibilities of the vibrant metropolis, one of the most artistic, passionate, and cultured cities in the world. I've never been more inspired by a city than when I visit New York. Explore the famous sights or leave the beaten path and investigate the endless nooks and crannies of the Big Apple. There are so many hopeful people redefining what they can be when they go to New York that you'll feel inspired to be the best version of yourself.
Yoga Retreats
A yoga retreat can be a way to help clear your mind and your thoughts and get you into a great headspace to figure out your next step. Similar to an inclusive resort, a yoga retreat is something that is easy to do on your own. On the other hand, it's more affordable and shorter than a resort vacation (under most circumstances), and you can invite your friends to share in some relaxation and rejuvenation. It's an opportunity for some serious self-reflection, self-love, and relaxation. We would recommend taking this trip on your own if you want to focus on yourself and better yourself after the breakup.
If you need a complete change of scenery after a breakup, jump on a plane and head for Italy. While this isn't a possibility for everyone if you have the time and money for an overseas vacation, there's nothing quite like Italy as a balm for a broken heart. You can sip wine, eat freshly baked bread, and let's be honest—the sight of Italian men don't hurt either. Spend your time admiring the beautiful architecture, eating fresh local food, and roaming whichever Italian city you choose to spend your time. The history, gastronomy, and beauty will all take your mind off of your breakup. Traveling alone opens you up to some awesome new opportunities that you may have never had before.

With Several Hostage Crises in Past 5 Years, Nation Knows About Yellow Ribbons ({{commentsTotal}})
Long foreign military missions aside, in the last five years a total of nine Estonians have been held hostage by terrorists and pirates, while there have been high-profile cases involving 15 Estonians seized by foreign governments in dubious circumstances and denied due process.
That also includes the latest captive, security police official Eston Kohver, who in an unprecedented incident is believed to have been abducted on Estonian soil near the border on Friday and taken to Russia.
The hostage crises have been resolved through international cooperation and at great cost - while judicial cases tend to be trickier, with fewer options at hand to allow overweening flawed foreign judicial systems to save face.
Kohver, who was taken to Moscow, faces charges of espionage and a possible prison term of 20 years. That report dismayed many who hoped for a possible resolution at a lower level. Kohver has not been allowed to meet with Estonian consular officials.
Previous incidents:
1. March 23, 2011 - Seven cyclists kidnapped in Lebanon by radical groups and held for part of the time in Syria.
Released? Yes, alive and well, July 14, 2011. A French site claimed Estonia paid a 5 million euro ransom; officially stated logistical costs of the release were 280,000 euros.
2. October 15, 2012 - Estonian seaman and decorated graduate of Maritime Academy Siim Sokk taken hostage by pirates in Nigeria, along with six Russians.
Released? Yes, alive and well, November 1, 2012
3. October 18, 2013 - Fourteen Estonians, many of them veterans of the professional Defense Forces, were detained in India (along with Ukrainians and British) after the private maritime security ship they were serving on sailed into national waters.
Released? Yes, but not allowed to leave India. Weapons charges dropped against crew, but facing prosecutorial appeals and still without exit visas.
4. May 26, 2014 - Ret. Col. Tõnu Asson, OSCE observer in Ukraine, kidnapped by separatists.
Released? Yes, alive and well, June 26, 2014
5. September 5, 2014 - Decorated counterintelligence agency officer Eston Kohver abducted in a Russian incursion - taking the Estonian version on faith - on the Estonian side of the Russian border.

text: Da Feng Ke (大蜂窠) 0 Comments A Da Feng Ke, from 'Wu Bei Zhi (《武備志》)'. Da Feng Ke (大蜂窠, lit. 'Big bee nest'), also known as Huo Feng Wo (火蜂窩, lit. 'Fire bee nest'), is a type of primitive but powerful bomb. Made of one hundred layers of paper and ten layers of fabric, its payload includes everything from incendiary and poison gas gunpowder, firecrackers like Di Shu (地鼠, ground rat), small bomblets, darts, poisoned ceramic and iron fragmentation, caltrops, to sulphur, resin, human hair and feces. Da Ke Feng is usually thrown by hand or launched from siege engine, and is most useful during siege or naval warfare. It is sometimes confused with Yi Wo Feng (一窩蜂) due to similarly sounding names. It is possible that a type of early land mine known as Yi Ke Feng (一窠蜂, lit. 'A nest of bee'), used by Ming armies as early as 1400, refers to the same weapon.

Published: Tuesday 7th April 2015 by The News Editor
FIFA president Sepp Blatter has called for stricter punishments for racist abuse, insisting relegation and suspension will work as deterrents to rid football of the issue.
The 79-year-old is currently running to be elected for a fifth term in office and was speaking about the need to have firmer reprimands for clubs at the launch of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) congress in Egypt.
As well as talking about the level of investment in football on the continent, Blatter said the South Africa World Cup of 2010 has set a benchmark for future tournaments and spoke on how he wants to see any racist behaviour tackled in the future.
"We have to punish not only through fines and stadium closures but we have to use our rules to suspend teams, to take away their points or even to relegate them if racism continues," he said.
The three men challenging Blatter for his position, Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein, Luis Figo and Michael van Praag will have felt their campaigns take a hit as CAF president Issa Hayatou told the incumbent president he should expect the support of every African nation at next month's election.
"Dear Sepp, I want to reiterate that here in Africa you are never on some strange or hostile territory," he said in his opening speech.
"You shall always be at home here, on this continent. Africa is comfortable having you. Africa stays with you.
"You have been a faithful partner and in Africa we acknowledge our friends and offer them that they deserve."
CAF is the largest of the six continental confederations and has 54 of the 209 FIFA member countries who are able to vote in the election on May 29. Their support for Blatter has long been expected.

Avadon - Blog #2
Jeff Vogel has penned a blog entry on the development of Avadon, focusing on the theme and tone of the game. The next entry will look at the game mechanics and systems. Here's a sample:
But there are also hints that your power is too great. Your word is law, and that isn't necessarily a good thing. Well, it's great for you, but not so hot for everyone else.
Maybe you want to play a thug or a bully. Or maybe you want to resist the temptation to misuse your power, which is satisfying in a different way. And the story of Avadon is about all of the same sorts of choices. Avadon can do what it wants. Will you guide it to do the right thing? And, for that matter, should a group with so much power exist?
That is the theme. Power. The option to misuse it. What will you do?
I've also often seen developers comment on making branching or optional content that players might not see...here's one of Jeff's answers to a reader question:
@Jacob: "Do you ever get discouraged when writing multiple story lines, knowing that many players will only see a subset of the content?"
Actually, I get a huge kick out of it. If the player's choices make that much of a difference in what they experience, it means I'm Doing It Right.

Setting: Fantasy
Genre: RPG
Platform: PC

Two Paths to New Readers
A two-part event on audiobooks and growing your online presence
Are you trying to reach new readers with your books? Curious about how to create a website that gets results? Have you heard about the "rise of the audiobook" and are you keen to get in on the fastest-growing format in publishing?
On April 22nd, CIPA is proud to present a two-part event. We'll be talking about the audiobook creation process from production to publication, followed by a presentation on how to increase your online visibility using your website and a bit of SEO magic.
All About Audiobooks
Audiobooks are the fastest growing area of independent publishing, with over $2 billion in audiobook sales last year. Audible listening rose 35% in 2016 as more people listen on their smartphones, through car apps while commuting, and even on new devices such as Amazon's Echo. This is an audiobook revolution!
Richard Rieman of Audiobook Revolution Productions and Diana & Jamie Andrade of Brook Forest Voices are teaming up to walk us through the ABCs of audiobooks. In their presentation they'll cover:
- Essential steps to creating and publishing an audiobook
- How to determine if an audiobook is right for your book
- Whether you should hire a narrator or voice your own audiobook
- Strategies to make your audiobook profitable
- What costs and royalties to expect
- How to promote and market your audiobook
Richard Rieman of Audiobook Revolution Productions is the author of the award-winning "The Author's Guide to Audiobook Creation" and a top Audible narrator. He also produces audiobooks for authors voicing their own audiobooks and consults with authors seeking a narrator. Richard writes about audiobooks in the CIPA and Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers blogs.
Brook Forest Voices is a complete audio production studio located just west of Denver in Evergreen, Colorado, specializing in audiobook and enhanced ebook production and publishing. Diana and Jamie help large and small publishers, as well as authors, with all their audio needs. Brook Forest Voices provides an easy, fast and reliable way to deliver your commercial messages and fictional tales on time and within budget.
Author Websites that Get Results
Authors need to break through a lot of noise online, and yet digital media remains one of the best ways for indie publishers to make a name for themselves. Crafting your own platform and getting people to it takes good website design and Search Engine Optimization (SEO). In fact, website design and SEO go together like cake and icing. You can have the cake without icing, but the icing is really what draws people in. SEO complements good web design by attracting traffic to your website and encouraging them to do something, like subscribe to your newsletter or buy your book.
Veronica Yager of YellowStudios and Zoe DeVito of LetsGrow.Solutions have teamed up to share what SEO really is, what it can do and how to design a website that gets results. In their presentation they'll cover:
- How to develop a website that sells for you
- What SEO is and why your website needs it
- The Essential 3 Vs for Victorious SEO
- Whether you should hire a website designer or DYI it
- What your author website needs and why
Zoe DeVito is a Google-certified internet marketer who specializes in search engine optimization (SEO). As a millennial, she takes pride in exploiting the web. LetsGrow.Solutions partners with small businesses in Denver and Boulder to build their online presence, drive targeted traffic to their websites and reach their unique business goals.
Veronica Yager has been working with self-publishing authors since 2008. Her mission is to help make publishing a book as painless and easy as possible for authors. Veronica and her team design award winning books & ebooks, and create beautiful websites, which most self-publishing authors neglect and forget about! YellowStudios offers a free consultation jam packed with advice and will give you a solid direction to help ease the frustration many new authors face. In 2016 Veronica won a CIPA EVVY Award for Interior Book Design and Layout, and received a Gold Medal – 1st Place Award for eBook design and conversions.

The walk
Cartago Travel Blog› entry 6 of 9 › view all entries
October 19th, 2008 – by: txmissie
The has been one of the best trips I have taken so far. Every year in August people walk from Nicarauga, Panama and all over Costa Rica to a beautiful church in Cartago. I was a very moving trip, we saw many people there who were ill and of many more people there just praying for someone else.
Thanks to Wikitravel here is the legend....
The legend: The Basilica home of "La Virgen de los Angeles"
On the 2nd of August 1635 Juana Pereira, a young girl went into the forest near her house to play by the river. There she found a piece of rock in the shape of the Virgin Mary with a small child. She thought is was a doll and played with it. Later she took it home and put it in her room. The next day she returned to the same spot and again found a very similar representation. That evening she returned with it and went to put it with the first one she found. However, the first one was no longer in her room. On the third day she returned to play by the river and, again, found the Virgin. This time she ran right back to her room and again, found that the ones she had taken home were not there. She then reported this to the priest in Cartago. He went with her the following day and took the statue they found there back with him to the city. There he locked it in a coffer. The next day they returned to the river to find yet another (or same?) statue there. When he returned to check the locked coffer he discovered it empty. This was taken as a sign that a church should be built on the site the statue kept returning to.

The benefit of screening for decreasing the risk of death from colorectal cancer (CRC) has been shown, yet many patients in primary care are still not undergoing screening according to guidelines. There are known variations in delivery of preventive health care services among primary care physicians. This study compared self-reported CRC screening rates and patient awareness of the need for CRC screening of patients receiving care from family medicine (FPs) vs. internal medicine (internists) physicians.
Nationally representative sample of non-institutionalized beneficiaries who received medical care from FPs or internists in 2006 (using Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey). The main outcome was the percentage of patients screened in 2007. We also examined the percentage of patients offered screening.
Patients of FPs, compared to those of internists, were less likely to have received an FOBT kit or undergone home FOBT, even after accounting for patients' characteristics. Compared to internists, FPs' patients were more likely to have heard of colonoscopy, but were less likely to receive a screening colonoscopy recommendation (18% vs. 27%), or undergo a colonoscopy (43% vs. 46%, adjusted odds ratios [AOR], 95% confidence interval [CI]-- 0.65, 0.51-0.81) or any CRC screening (52% vs. 60%, AOR, CI--0.80, 0.68-0.94). Among subgroups examined, higher income beneficiaries receiving care from internists had the highest screening rate (68%), while disabled beneficiaries receiving care from FPs had the lowest screening rate (34%).
Patients cared for by FPs had a lower rate of screening compared to those cared for by internists, despite equal or higher levels of awareness; a difference that remained statistically significant after accounting for socioeconomic status and access to healthcare. Both groups of patients remained below the national goal of 70 percent.
Screening has been shown to decrease the risk of mortality for colorectal cancer (CRC) [1-4]. Although the use of CRC screening has increased in the US, particularly over the past decade [5,6], for many groups, screening rates are below the Healthy People goal of 70% [7]. Primary care physicians (PCPs) play an important role in the delivery of CRC screening services [6,8-12] by advising, recommending, performing and/or referring patients for screening [13]. It is therefore not surprising that studies have consistently reported a strong association between healthcare provider recommendations for and receipt of CRC screening for persons with a usual source of care [8,9,14]. This supports the hypothesis that variations in the delivery of CRC screening services among PCPs have a negative impact on efforts to increase screening rates in the US. However, there are very few published studies on PCP-related variations in CRC screening that simultaneously assess screening rates and physicians' delivery of screening, as reported by patients.
Despite the limited literature on PCP-related variation in screening, the existing evidence about differing quality of preventive health care among PCPs [15-18] suggests that similar differences in quality of CRC screening may contribute to underuse of screening in some populations. One study, which included analyses on CRC testing by PCP specialty, found that patients receiving their usual routine care from family/general practitioners were less likely to have had CRC testing than those receiving care from a general internists [18]. However, the findings of that study were limited by the use of insurance claims data alone and the exclusion of fecal occult blood test (FOBT) use in the definition of CRC screening. Thus, there is paucity of published studies that simultaneously addressed both a patient's awareness and use of CRC screening services and a physician's recommendation and delivery of CRC screening through interviews with patients. This would lead to a better understanding if it is clarified whether or not low rates of screening are the result of patient factors such as education or income or a physician's failure to offer screening. Additionally, understanding the variations in screening practices according to PCP specialties will provide insights into some of the reasons behind suboptimal rates of CRC screening in the US. A key question is whether a particular PCP specialty group has achieved the US national CRC screening objectives.
In this study, we compared the CRC screening practices of patients receiving care from FPs to those receiving care from internists. We examined individual's awareness of CRC screening tests and the utilization of such screening, according to whether the patient received their usual medical care from an FP or internist, and related those differences to patient factors.
The data for this study were obtained from the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) and matched Medicare claims. The design and data collection methods for the MCBS are described in detail previously [19,20]. In brief, the MCBS is an ongoing annual survey with four-year rotating cohorts of nationally representative samples of Medicare beneficiaries who are interviewed in-person three times a year [19]. We used data on non-institutionalized beneficiaries who were 50-75 years of age at the beginning of 2006, were continuously enrolled in Medicare, participated in the interviews in both 2006 and 2007, and had no personal history of renal disease or CRC in 2006 or 2007. Our study population therefore also included persons 50-64 years of age who were in Medicare as a result of disability. Our upper age cutoff was based on current U.S. Preventive Services Task Force CRC screening guidelines [21,22]. This study was reviewed by the institutional review board (IRB) of the University of Massachusetts Medical School (Worcester, MA) and was considered exempt from a full IRB review.
Each survey year, the MCBS collects data on participants including age, gender and marital status; residence in metropolitan service areas (MSA); highest level of educational achievement (less than high school vs. others); household income (<$25,000 vs. others); primary language (English vs. all other languages); the type of health insurance coverage (supplemental vs. no supplemental insurance); and delaying medical care due to cost [19,20]. These factors are known to be associated with use of CRC screening [23]. Additional data collected includes beneficiary employment, history of non-skin cancers and self-rated general health status (which was used as proxy for wellness to undergo screening).
The primary predictor in our analyses was the specialty of PCP that a beneficiary usually sees for medical care (FP vs. internist). During the fall of each year, the MCBS collects information about the "particular medical person or ... clinic [a beneficiary] usually goes to when [he/she is]... sick or [for] advice about ... health", and the specialty of the particular doctor he/she usually sees. Among the potentially eligible subjects for this study, 1,922 patients reported their usual physician was either an FP or internist. We then used the Unique Physician Identification Numbers from Medicare claims to match 1,354 other patients to an FP or internist. When both specialties were identified for a particular subject (n = 208), the PCP with the greater number of services rendered was assigned: no ties were observed [24].
In the fall of 2007, MCBS respondents 50 years of age or older, who did not report a history of CRC, were asked whether they had ever had CRC screening test (sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, and/or a home FOBT), and if so, the date of the most recent test (as shown in Figure Figure1.)1.) We defined a nominal screening variable by first considering the receipt of a sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy within five years of the interview date and then FOBT within one year, in a mutually exclusive manner. We also created a combined outcome of CRC screening defined as receiving colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy within 5 years and/or FOBT within one year. This approach was based on how questions were asked on the MCBS as described previously [20]. Respondents were also asked if they were ever given an FOBT kit (categorized as yes vs. no), and those who had received an FOBT kit were then asked if they had returned the last kit (categorized as yes vs. no). Patients who had not previously received a kit were asked if they had "ever heard of this home testing kit" (categorized as yes vs. no). In addition to questions on FOBT use, those who had not previously undergone a colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy were asked if they had "ever heard of" sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy and if so, whether his/her physician recommended that he/she should have the exam (categorized as yes vs. no). Participants who had previously heard of or received CRC screening were asked: "Before today, did you know that Medicare now helps pay for the cost of screening tests".
Two-by-two contingency tables and the Wald chi-square test were used to compare beneficiaries' characteristics, awareness and knowledge of CRC screening according to PCP specialty (FP vs. internist). Specifically, we examined differences in awareness of CRC, colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy, home FOBT kit, or Medicare's coverage for CRC screening. Analyses on knowledge of Medicare's coverage for CRC screening were stratified according to prior history of colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy. We also examined for differences in whether or not a beneficiary returned his/her last home FOBT kit.
Multinomial regression models were used to determine whether use of an FOBT alone within one year, or colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy alone within five years differed according to PCP specialty. We then used logistic regression models to examine the association between PCP specialty and the combined outcome of any CRC screening exam. Further, we examined two additional outcomes that involve direct healthcare provider participation as reported by patients: whether an eligible beneficiary was given an FOBT kit, or received a colonoscopy recommendation. Several subgroup and sensitivity analyses were also performed.
Individual enrollees were the unit of analyses, and we used data on beneficiaries' usual PCP and covariates from the 2006 survey for the analyses. The covariates included in the regression models (as shown in Table Table1)1) were based on previous studies [20]. We used cross-sectional survey weights in all analyses and variance estimation accounted for the complex survey design. The analyses were performed using STATA version 12.
A total of 3,276 subjects, representing a weighted sample of about 14.3 million Medicare enrollees, were included in the analyses. Of these subjects, 2,629 (81%) were non-Hispanic whites, 320 (9%) were non-Hispanic blacks, 224 (7%) were of Hispanic ethnicity and 103 (3%) were of other or unknown race/ethnicity.
After applying sampling weights, about 49% of beneficiaries received their usual care from FPs and 51% from internists. The characteristics of the study population according to PCP specialty are shown in Table Table1.1. Compared to internists, a lower percentage of FPs' patients were blacks or Hispanics, or resided in a Metropolitan Service Area (MSA). A lower percentage of patients receiving care from FPs had high school diploma or higher, >$25,000 in annual household income, or supplemental insurance. FPs' patients were more likely to have been interviewed in English.
Among beneficiaries who had not previously had a home FOBT, about one-half had heard of the test, which was similar for patients of FPs and internists (p-value = 0.15, Table Table2).2). However, a lower percent of patients receiving care from FPs (48%) than from internists (54%) had previously been given an FOBT kit (Figure (Figure2).2). This difference was statistically significant even after adjusting for other covariates (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 95% confidence intervals [CI]--0.82, 0.69-0.96). Of those who had previously received an FOBT kit, about 95% returned their most recent one for testing and again, this was similar for patients of both FPs and internists (p-value = 0.27, Table Table22).
Among patients who had not previously undergone colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy, a higher percentage of patients receiving care from FPs than from internists had heard of colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy (82% vs. 77%, p-value = 0.04, Table Table2).2). Only 18% of patients receiving care from FPs had received a colonoscopy recommendation compared to 27% receiving care from internists (Figure (Figure2).2). The difference in receipt of colonoscopy recommendation remained statistically significant even after accounting for the effects of other covariates (AOR, CI--0.59, 0.44-0.88, Table Table3).3). Compared to persons in Medicare because of age-eligibility, disabled beneficiaries were less likely to report having received a recommendation for colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy (25% vs. 13%, p < .01).
The percentage of patients having FOBT within the past year was lower for those receiving care from FPs (10%) as compared to patients of internists (14%) (Figure (Figure22 and Table Table3).3). Similarly, the percentage of patients who had undergone a colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy within the past 5 years was slightly lower for patients of FPs (43%) than it was for patients of internists (46%). Analyses on the combined screening outcome confirmed that a lower percentage of beneficiaries receiving care from FPs (52%) had undergone CRC screening, compared to patients of internists (60%) (Figure (Figure2).2). The PCP specialty differences in receipt of an FOBT alone (AOR, CI-0.65, 0.51-0.8), colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy alone (AOR, CI-0.84, 0.71-1.00), or any screening exam, (AOR, CI-0.80, 0.68-0.94) remained statistically significant even after controlling for patients' characteristics including education, income, health insurance coverage and place of residence (Table (Table33).
In subgroup analyses, the highest rates of screening were observed among beneficiaries with annual household incomes of $25,000 or higher receiving care from internists (68%). The lowest rates were among persons 50-54 years of age (34%), those on disability (46%) or those without a high school diploma (41%) who had received care from FPs (Table (Table4).4). In the subgroups of patients stratified by race and ethnicity, residence in MSA, income level, educational achievement and health insurance type, patients receiving care from FPs had consistently lower odds of undergoing screening. The largest relative differences were observed among enrollees aged 50-64 years (OR, CI −0.50, 0.27-0.89), blacks (OR, CI--0.62, 0.41-0.92) or people with supplemental insurance (OR, CI--0.77, 0.68-0.87).
Multivariable analyses, restricted to those who had reported on the MCBS that an FP (n = 935) or internist (n = 987) was their usual physician, found that enrollees seeing FPs were 0.80 (CI: 0.69-0.92) times as likely as those seeing internists to undergo screening. Analyses were also performed with CRC screening defined as receipt of sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy within 2 years and/or FOBT within 1 year, while excluding persons who had sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy more than 2 years previously (n = 1,007). Compared to internists, FPs' patients were 0.79 (CI: 0.66-0.96) times as likely to have been screened. Analyses restricted to enrollees 65-75 years old did not change the findings.
This study examined the delivery and receipt of CRC screening among a nationally representative sample of Medicare beneficiaries according to the specialty of their usual PCP. We found that the use of CRC screening tests, defined in our study as having completed FOBT testing within one year or sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy within 5 years, was lower than the national goal of 70% for both internists and family physicians despite high levels of CRC screening awareness among beneficiaries. We found that patients receiving care from FPs had a lower rate of testing than those receiving care from internists, despite equal or higher awareness of screening tests among FPs' patients. PCP specialty differences were observed for all testing outcomes examined and remained statistically significant even after accounting for socioeconomic status of enrollees and factors related to access to health care. Surprisingly, the magnitude of the differences in use of screening tests was similar across many of the subgroups examined. The stability of the results across multiple outcomes, subgroups and multiple sources of information strengthens our findings.
We found a wide spectrum in terms of testing rates in this population. In 2007, 68% Medicare beneficiaries in higher income groups who received care from internists had undergone testing, which is nearly at the national screening target proposed for 2020. We observed the lowest rate, 34%, among disabled enrollees (50-54 years old) receiving care from FPs, which was 50% lower than the rate for this group of enrollees who had received care from internists. Only about half of eligible patients had received an FOBT kit, with proportionally fewer of FPs' patients receiving one. Less than a fifth of beneficiaries who received care from FPs received a screening colonoscopy recommendation, compared to about a third of those who received care from internists.
To our knowledge, no previous studies have simultaneously examined specialty of usual healthcare provider and patients' receipt of CRC screening in a nationally representative sample. That said, our findings with respect to specialty differences in screening rates are consistent with previous studies showing that among adult PCPs, internists have higher rates of providing preventive care services including cancer screening than FPs [16,17]. A study using Medicare claims data found that patients receiving care from FPs/GPs were less likely to undergo CRC screening compared to patients of internists [18]. Our study used data from in-person interviews with patients, supplemented with insurance claims, and included analyses on multiple CRC screening outcomes at both the patient and provider levels. This provides a more detailed analysis of patient characteristics, patient knowledge of screening services and use of screening tests based on the primary care specialist seen.
The most plausible reason for PCP specialty differences in screening is that family practitioners are less aggressive about offering CRC testing to their patients. Patients receiving care from FPs were equally knowledgeable about CRC screening and Medicare's benefit for screening, as those receiving care from internists. In fact, compared to internists, a higher percentage of patients receiving care from FPs had heard of colonoscopy, and yet screening-eligible patients of FPs were less likely to have been offered a home FOBT kit or a recommendation for colonoscopy. Our findings suggest that once offered screening, the rates of test completion were similar for both groups of patients. These findings suggest that the lower rates of CRC screening are due, in part, to potentially remediable healthcare provider variations in screening practices and not solely from patient-related factors or systematic refusal of testing by patients. Our results show that eliminating PCP variations in CRC practices has the potential to substantially increase utilization of CRC screening among a diverse group of screening-eligible adults.
There are other possible explanations for the PCP specialty variations found in this study. Some previous studies suggest that FPs may be more likely to provide safety-net care in non-academic and rural settings [17,18]. This could have a significant impact on recommendation for colonoscopy as FPs may have less access to subspecialist referral networks necessary for colonoscopy. Further, FPs provide a wider scope of services [17], which may lead to more competing and disparate demands in their practices than for internists [13]. However, in this study, the differences persisted even after controlling for patient factors, suggesting that differences in use of screening tests cannot be attributed to differences in the complexity of patients' medical care needs alone.
Organization and style of physician practices, such as tracking systems for monitoring delivery of CRC screening services, may contribute to the differences observed in this study [17,18]. Such practice-related barriers to providing CRC screening may present greater hurdles for FPs than internists, particularly in rural and underserved areas. Tailored practice-based interventions [25] including reminder systems [26], clinical outreach, programs to monitor disparate care in practices, and the use of preventive medicine specialists, supported by information technology solutions and incentive programs, may increase screening within primary care offices. Mitigating such hurdles has the potential to increase recommendations of CRC screening in primary care practices.
Measures of CRC testing were based on self-report, which can be subject to considerable recall bias. Self-report may overestimate screening rates [27-29], or, on the other hand, may capture information not captured in claims, particularly for those with supplemental insurance, who may not have valid claims in Medicare databases [30]. Also, the use of colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy was defined as being within a 5-year time period rather than the 10-year period recommended by some guidelines. The screening rates may have been higher if the exposure measurement considered a 10-year period prior to the interview date rather than the interval used for this report. However, screening colonoscopy was relatively uncommon in the early 2000s [20]. Thus, extending the window for ascertainment of colonoscopy is unlikely to have a substantive impact on the findings. Also, we were unable to differentiate screening from diagnostic exams. These limitations may result in misclassification of some of the outcomes studied. The misclassification was likely non-differential and thus would not have changed our findings. This study was based on data on Medicare beneficiaries in the United States and as such, may not be generalized to other populations or settings with different health care systems. However, the findings provide important lessons for evaluating and improving the delivery of cancer screening services in primary care for a broad range of settings.
The use of CRC screening tests was lower than the national goal despite high levels of CRC screening awareness irrespective of whether patients received care from internists or family physicians. Our results suggest that potentially remediable variations in practice style or practice environment contributed to the differences in screening rates according to PCP specialty. Our study shows the potential to greatly increase screening rates nationally through greater efforts to increase physicians' offering of CRC screening. However, additional studies, including mixed methods research that capture the experiences of patients in primary care who have not undergone testing, may provide data that can be used to develop interventions to improve delivery of CRC screening in primary care setting.

Anne Arundel County - Solar and Geothermal Equipment Property Tax Credits
Anne Arundel County offers a one-time credit from county property taxes on residential dwellings that use solar and geothermal energy equipment for heating and cooling, and solar energy equipment for water heating and electricity generation. Photovoltaic (PV) systems and geothermal systems were initially not eligible for the tax credit, but PV systems were added by legislation enacted in January 2009 (County Bill 81-08) and geothermal heating and cooling systems were added in April 2010 (County Bill 17-10). Solar energy devices must be installed on or after January 1, 2007 in order to be eligible for the tax credit. Geothermal equipment must be installed on or after January 1, 2009 in order to be eligible for the tax credit. Expenditures for solar pool heating are not eligible for the tax credit.
It is important to note that the tax credit is credited from the taxes on the dwelling itself and not those levied on the land. Applications must be filed on or before June 1 of the year immediately preceding the year for which the credit is sought. In 2012 new legislation (Council Bill 84-12) removed the former June, 1 2012 application deadline for PV systems. Please contact the Anne Arundel County Office of Finance for tax credit applications and further information.
Anne Arundel County - High Performance Dwelling Property Tax Credit
The state of Maryland permits local governments (Md Code: Property Tax § 9-242) to offer property tax credits for high performance buildings if they choose to do so. In October 2010 Anne Arundel exercised this option by enacting legislation (County Bill 78-10) providing a property tax credit for high performance dwellings built on or after July 1, 2010 that meet or exceed USGBC LEED Silver standards. The credit was amended in 2012 (County Bill 03-12) to add the National Green Building Standard (NGBS) as an eligible green building certification system for the tax credit. The tax credit is available for five years and is calculated as a percentage of the county property taxes owed on the dwelling (but not the land). The incentive amount and maximum incentive vary according to the performance level of the building as determined under the applicable rating system, as follows:
Those wishing to claim the tax credit must provide documentation proving that the dwelling meets the standard, which must be reviewed and approved by a professional certified in the applicable building standard that is employed or engaged by the county. The applicant must also certify that the dwelling and systems will be regularly maintained to comply with the applicable standard. Properties may be inspected to verify compliance with the tax credit rules.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed outfielder Chris Dickerson to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training, tweets Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. This, like every other move the Pirates have made this offseason, should be considered nothing more than a depth acquisition. The Bucs already have several outfielders that are higher than Dickerson on the depth chart. Dickerson will likely be behind Andrew McCutchen, Jose Tabata, Starling Marte, Travis Snider, Jaff Decker and Gregory Polanco on the Pirates' outfield depth chart, so he won't be seeing any plate appearances at the MLB level in 2014.
Dickerson, 31, is a former member of the Cincinnati Reds, New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles. He has a career .262/.339/.406 slash line with a 99 wRC+ in 708 plate appearances. Dickerson doesn't provide much value at the plate, but he does provide a very good defensive option in the outfield. According to FanGraphs, Dickerson has saved 12.9 runs on defense throughout his career. The value he provides defensively makes up for his below average offense as shown by his career 4.0 fWAR.
While Dickerson clearly isn't a great all-around player, he can be useful if he is used correctly — as a late inning defensive replacement or a pinch runner (3.9 base running runs above average, according to FanGraphs). Ideally for the Pirates, they won't need to rely on Dickerson in any situation in 2014 with him being so far down on the pecking order. The great thing for the Pirates is that for once they have a ton of depth and they don't have a real use for a player like Dickerson. Five years ago he may have been a starter in the Pirates' outfield.
