Fun and Easy to work withReviewed on 9/02/2014 Alyssa R
Yvette made me feel super comfortable the day of for the bridal portraits (i'm a little camera shy) and once the wedding got going, I barely felt she was there. My husband gets easily frustrated with too much posing and she got us through all the posed photos quickly and kept them playful. She was so fun and easy to work with, and her style and photos are beautiful!

The present application is a U.S. National Phase Application under 35 U.S.C. �371 of PCT Application No. PCT/FR/00/03504 filed on Dec. 13, 2000, which claims the benefit of French Application No. 99/15813, filed on Dec. 15, 1999.
The present invention relates generally to remote-controlled price display systems in stores.
On the shelves of a site such as a supermarket, hypermarket, or other retail outlet (for example pharmacies, etc.), an essential object of such systems is to present consumers with a price for each article on sale, with that price being known to correspond reliably to the price that appears in the central file of the store, i.e. with the actual price that will be charged for the article at the checkout.
Another object of those prior art systems is to enable price changes to be made automatically in much shorter times than with a manual display, whether this is for particular promotional periods in the store, for all or some of the articles, to implement price changes, to deal with inflation when prices have to be increased very frequently, etc.
Moreover, price display is subject to many constraints, in particular legal constraints, as to the nature of the prices displayed (unit price, promotional price, price in Euros, etc.), with which constraints electronic systems must conform in exactly the same way as displays on paper.
Accordingly, although electronic label systems are tending to become more and more sophisticated as time goes on, they nevertheless remain relatively rigid in terms of display facilities and the organization thereof over time.
The present invention aims to alleviate those drawbacks of the prior art and to propose an electronic label system that offers a vast range of display facilities, in particular to meet to the constraints referred to above and to satisfy an increasing demand from users to modify displayed prices often and for short periods, which system can act extremely flexibly and quickly to display information other than prices, for example information relating to the products and/or to the labels themselves, and which also offers the facility of modifying all the labels of a given group or all the labels throughout the store in accordance with precise time periods that are accurately specified in terms of when they begin and/or their duration.
An object of the invention is to ensure that a label is returned to its initial state after the data displayed by the label has been modified temporarily.
To this end, a first aspect of the invention proposes an electronic label system, in particular for displaying prices in stores, the system comprising a central station and a plurality of distributed electronic labels, together with communication means, in particular wireless communication means, for sending information, in particular price information, from the central station to the labels, the system being characterized in that each label includes a set of price registers, a set of coefficient registers and a display including at least two price display areas, and the information sent from the central station to a label includes assignment instructions linking a calculated price equal to the price contained in one of the price registers multiplied by a given coefficient with a given price display area.
Preferred but non-limiting features of the above system comprise:
A second aspect of the invention proposes an electronic label system, in particular for displaying prices in stores, comprising a central station and a plurality of distributed electronic labels, together with communication means, in particular wireless communication means, for sending information, in particular price information, from the central station to the labels, the system being characterized in that each label includes a memory, a display and means for controlling display on the basis of information contained in said memory, and the information sent from the central station to a label is contained in a single message, which message includes instructions containing data assigning the content of a particular memory area to a particular display area of the display and is adapted to contain time-delay data from which the label determines a timing parameter relating to said assignment.
Preferred but non-limiting features of the above system comprise:
Other aspects, objects and advantages of the present invention become more apparent on reading the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, which is given by way of non-limiting example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Before starting the description proper, it should be noted that, in the following description, the terms register, memory and memory area are used interchangeably to designate the locations in the electronic label for variable information, whether that information consists of data, parameters, commands, etc. Also, the term digit is to be generally understood as referring to a group of four bits (a quad), although this is in no way limiting on the invention, of course.
Overall Structure
Note first of all that the electronic labels of the system of the invention have a general architecture primarily comprising:
For more details on a label of the above kind, and in particular on how it communicates with a central station and portable terminals, see for example the document FR 2 658 645 A in the name of the Applicant.
Referring to
The label has five price registers, namely a main price register RPP and four secondary price registers RPS1, RPS2, RPS3 and RPS4.
Four coefficient registers RC1, RC2, RC3 and RC4 are associated with the four secondary price registers.
The label controls operations that multiply the content of the main price register RPP by the contents of the coefficient registers RC1 to RC4 by means of four multipliers MU0 to MU3 which are in practice implemented in the operating system of the microcontroller.
The label is also able to control the assignment of the various price registers to the three display areas, using display commands CA symbolized shown in
Note also in
The left-hand part of
As explained in more detail hereinafter, the display can show either price data and other information supplied by the various registers of the label or bit map or like mode semi-graphical data from a central station.
Activating a Label
A label is activated in accordance with the following protocol: after correct reception of a normal activation command, the label sets a time-delay of approximately 36 seconds. At the end of this time-delay, the label tests for the presence of a weak field radio transmission. This test is then repeated, approximately every 37 seconds.
A special command for chaining commands is also provided, which executes a weak field reception test much faster, typically less than one second after processing the command. This enables some commands to be chained (see the description of the commands later), and economizes the time period of 72 seconds needed for synchronization in the event of additional commands. This special command is naturally usable only when addressing a single command individually to one label or to the whole of the installed base of labels.
Moreover, this command chaining function is valid only for some of the commands described later, including:
The organization of the various items of information in the label and the various commands that can be received, mainly from the central station (server) of the store, is described in more detail next.
1) Content and Processing of Memories
a) Prices and Coefficients and Associated Calculations
The label has nine memory areas or registers, namely:
Each main or secondary price memory area is associated with:
Each secondary price memory area is associated with:
The dedication of the memories is defined as follows:
The content of the main price memory RPP is always displayed in the main price area ZP of the display.
The contents of the secondary price memories can be displayed cyclically in the secondary price areas ZS1 and ZS2 of the display, see below.
Note that the communication protocol enables contents to be downloaded directly from the central station to all the memories, including the secondary price memories. However, as explained in more detail later, such downloading of the secondary price memories makes sense only if multiplication is disabled beforehand.
Afterwards, as soon as multiplication is activated, the secondary prices are calculated by multiplying the main price by a coefficient and the associated secondary price memory receives the result of the multiplication.
The coefficients are downloaded into the coefficient memories in the form of an exponent followed by the most significant digit of the mantissa, which must not be zero.
When a price is sent, the status of the promotion block PROMO of the display can be modified by inserting before the price either a digit of value A or a digit of value B (the values are in hexadecimal in this example). The value A turns off the promotion block while the value B causes it to blink on and off.
The content of a coefficient memory is not necessarily intended for the multiplication calculation described above, in which case There is no restriction on the format of this content.
On this subject, to prevent pricing errors that might be caused by unintentional multiplication of the main price value by the content of a coefficient memory if that content is not a coefficient, the central station can verify the plausibility of the result of the multiplication, and in particular can verify that the result of the multiplication is less than or equal to 999999 (in the case of a six-digit display).
Note that multiplying the main price by a coefficient consists in multiplying together two initial items of data, each on six digits, plus the exponent.
The complete result is therefore on thirteen digits plus the exponent, and is rounded to six digits employing the usual conventions employed for the Euro (whereby a value of 0.4 is rounded down to 0 whereas a value of 0.5 is rounded up to 1).
b) Flags and Parameters
The memory of the label has a number of locations for flags and parameters for modifying and adapting the operation of the label.
The flags and parameters include:
Another function associated with commands with a time-delay can shorten a time-delay already in progress, for example by sending the label a message containing a new time-delay less than the original one, possibly a zero time-delay, or by sending the label an immediate display command, or any appropriate instruction.
It is important to note here that the label can be designed so that if it is receiving a message that is not intended for it extends the time-delay by a time equal to the time taken to receive it.
Furthermore, it is advantageous if reception by the label of a command that is intended for it cancels the time-delay.
The time-delay parameter (tempo) can be coded on four bits (sixteen hexadecimal values), for example, providing fourteen different time-delays, for example, in arithmetical, geometrical or other progression and varying from a few seconds to 24 hours or more.
Note that the effective duration of the time-delay is equal to the value fixed by time-delay parameter (tempo) plus the time taken to receive it.
2) Commands
a) Command Logic Tree
Note that there can be redundancy between some commands, and in particular:
Some of the commands shown in
Command 7—Customize Label
Note first of all that a command of this kind can be sent only in the strong field mode (i.e. by communication with a portable terminal).
The hexadecimal code for the command is 7.
This command conveys two sets of parameters, namely:
Also, this command is used to set the address of the label by overwriting the preceding address, in particular if the label must be associated with a different product on the shelf. The format of this address is a word with 13 digits, corresponding to the value of the standardized EAN13 code of the associated product, for example.
(Note on Addressing
In the system according to the invention, a label can be addressed using a long address or a short address.
The long address of the label comprises 13 digits, for example the 13 digits of the standardized EAN13 code of the associated product, preceded by three digits constituting a store code, that is to say 16 digits in total.
The short address comprises only nine digits, namely, in order of decreasing weight:
In short addressing mode, it is these six digits which are used to address the individual labels.
The change from a long address to a short address is effected as follows: the address sent to the label by the command 7 is a long address, and if at least one of the six most significant digits of the 13-digit address is greater than nine (hexadecimal), then the label goes automatically to the short address mode.)
Note also that, at the time of a command 7, the label displays the last four digits of the address temporarily, for example in the main area, so that they can be verified by comparing them to the last four digits of the EAN13 code on the product.
Command 1—Characterize
This kind of command provides an introduction to other commands, and designates a group of labels intended to process subsequent commands.
A command 1 contains at least the store code, in which case it designates all the labels in the store.
It contains at most the store code plus the first 12 digits of the long address, in which case the label group it designates comprises all the labels whose first 12 address digits match those appearing in the command.
Naturally, for designating larger or smaller groups of labels, any number of address digits from 0 to 12 can be envisaged.
Command 0—Escape
This is a command whose format is indeterminate and totally free and which contains the address of a label. After receiving its address, the label ignores the remainder of the command. This command is reserved for future development.
Command 4—Send Main Price
This complete command includes a label address and a main price intended for that label, consisting of six digits followed by the position of the decimal point and a currency symbol code.
The price information can be followed by a number of display and calculation flags and parameters, as described above:
All the information previously contained in the memory of the label and to which the content of a command 4 message does not relate is retained. For example, it is possible to send only some of the price, decimal point position and currency symbol code digits, the others remaining unchanged.
Command 5—Send Secondary Price 0 (Register RPS0)
The rules are the same as for the command 4 (send main price), except that the price is followed by a digit indicating a pictogram or pictograms to be associated with secondary price 0.
The status of the promotion block can be modified quickly by inserting the command before the price itself.
Command 2—Send a Coefficient or a Price
Prices have the format indicated above (six digits, decimal point position and currency symbol).
The coefficients are multiplier coefficients with six mantissa digits, and are always associated with an exponent.
For example, an exponent value equal to 8 (hexadecimal) corresponds to 100, a value equal to 9 corresponds to 101, and so on; conversely a value equal to 7 corresponds to 10−1, and so on.
The command further includes a digit designating the address in the label of the price or the coefficient sent, namely (see above) an address 1 for the main price, an address from 2 to 5 for one of the four secondary prices, and an address from A to D for one of the four coefficients.
Once again, non-significant zeros are not necessarily sent.
Display and calculation parameters and flags can be sent, in the same way as for the commands 4 and 5 described above, and the same applies to fast access to the promotion block.
Command 3—Enter Individual Extended Command
This kind of command contains an individual label address and an extended command code, followed by parameters and the body of the command itself.
This command is reserved for implementing special functions in a given label by means of subcommands (see below).
Command 6—Enter Collective Extended Command
This command is collective in the sense that it does not include an individual label address, and the group of labels to which it relates is a group of labels designated by a command 1 (characterize) message sent previously.
The first digit of the command is the digit 6 and is followed by an extended command code, which is in turn followed by parameters constituting the body of the extended command.
The command 6 enables a given group of labels to implement some functions.
The various extended commands that can be included in commands 3 and 6 are described next.
Command 8—Address Display, Direct (Bit Map)
Each display symbol comprises seven segments, some combinations of which can define letters or symbols other than those normally displayed by a conventional 7-segment coder.
In the present example, the seven segments are assigned respective pairs of hexadecimal values: 02, 04, 08, 10, 20, 40, 80, as shown in
To each combination of segments turned on that forms a letter or a symbol there corresponds an unique sum of values assigned to those segments, and vice versa, as shown by the following table, which is provided merely by way of example (the calculations are in hexadecimal):
The command 8 contains a set of sum values designating the required symbols for the N digits of the display, together with a time-delay digit representing the time period for which these symbols are to be displayed, with values that can vary in steps from a few seconds to several tens of hours for example (see above).
It also contains a number of digits and/or bits constituting display parameters, for example:
It is advantageous if only the symbols that can actually be displayed, given the value of the last digit, are sent in a command 8 message.
Command C—Address Display, Coded Direct
This command, for turning on certain alphanumeric or other signs on the displays, is identical to command 8 except that the data is numerical and not in the form of a segment map, as described. Thus a quad can cause display of digits, letters and symbols, for example in accordance with the following table:
This command is similar to command 2, using the same functions and the same format.
Its benefit is that it can be associated with command 6 and thereby address given groups of labels or even all of the labels of the same store.
In the case of sending a price, fast control of the promotion block, as described above, is also available with this command.
Command D—Permutate or Copy Prices
This command comprises blocks of three digits which can be linked to constitute a macrocommand.
It contains, after the code D of the command, series of digits constituting the blocks of commands.
The most significant bit of the first digit of each block indicates whether a price must be copied or permutated. The three least significant bits indicate the number of digits of the price to which the copying or permutation applies.
For example, a value 0 for these bits (000) indicates that it concerns the first 6 digits, while the values 1, 2 and 3 (respectively 001, 010 and 011) respectively correspond to 7, 8 and 9 digits.
There are a number of exceptions to this:
The second digit designates a block of the source of the copy or permutation and the third digit designates its destination, the (hexadecimal) values of these digits being the addresses of the memories, from 1 to 5 for prices and from A to D for coefficients (see above).
For example, the block with the value 01A designates a permutation between the value in the main price register and the value of the mantissa in the coefficient 0 register, and the block with the value 814 designates copying of the content of the main price register to secondary price register 2.
Command B—Set Flag
This command can be chained, in the sense that it can comprise a succession of command blocks. These blocks can be linked to constitute a macrocommand.
The digits that follow the command code B constitute the blocks of commands whose first digit indicates the subcommand to be executed and whose subsequent digit(s) designate(s) the execution mode. In this example the available subcommand values are:
The values of the above flags are as follows:
Note that resetting the flags produces a digit equal to 1101, i.e. D in hexadecimal.
On the subject of the format of the decimal point position and associated pictogram flags, the following convention can be adopted, for example: the two least significant bits of the quad indicate the number of digits after the decimal point in the display (four values, specifying a number of digits after the decimal point from zero to three); the two most significant bits of the same quad code the currency symbol to be used, for example with the following convention:
Note that these are only display rules, the label working only on anonymous integer numbers. Note also that the currency symbols can be highly diverse, depending on the country in which the system is used (local main currency, local secondary currency, Euros, or any other useful currency).
The pictograms associated with the secondary prices are coded in the four bits of the next digit, to selectively turn on or off four different pictograms.
Command 9—Time-delayed Command
This command can be chained, in the present example with nine types of time-delay command with the following format: the first digit in all cases designates the duration of the time-delay, as in command 8 (see above).
The processing of a command 9 in the label consists in executing the command, and then starting the time-delay indicated by the first digit. When the time-delay expires, cyclic display of the secondary prices is activated, while the commands for calculating the secondary prices and displaying the main price are executed if the authorization parameters allow this (see above).
Also, independently of the value of the flag concerned, the label automatically displays the data received as soon as it is received.
Note that, during the time-delay, the label continues to be able to receive other commands sent by the central station (weak field) or a portable terminal (strong field).
A command 9 is organized into sub-blocks of variable size. The first digit of each sub-block indicates the action to be effected and its second digit indicates the area of the display concerned, where applicable, using the following convention:
The third digit of the sub-block indicates, where applicable, the memory area whose content must be displayed, preferably using the conventions explained above, namely 1 to 5 to display one of the five prices and A to D to display one of the four coefficients.
The nine types of subcommands of a time-delayed command are as follows:
Note that, in the case of command 5, the digit normally used for the time-delay advantageously indicates the number of horizontal scanning steps to be effected.
Note that the bit immediately preceding the two least significant bits can advantageously be used for selectively deleting the decimal point, the currency symbol and the pictograms or pictograms associated with the display concerned.

Gallery: Historic German water tower refurbished into green living spac...
There is a natural connection between sustainable design and historic preservation, one that is often overlooked. Building reuse and adaptation easily lend themselves to the ideals of green building, like lower embodied energy, longevity and cultural significance that promotes engaged users. In Essen, Germany, Architects from the Madako group have transformed an historic water tower into an imaginative space for living and working that showcases a fusion of old and new with lasting environmental considerations.

The outside looks like they've done really well, but I've got admit, with that dark laminate flooring and metal staircase, it looks either done on a budget or with limited/extreme taste.

Nice building. It's hard to go wrong when you have such a beautiful structure to start with. I agree the interiors are a bit cold (maybe a bit too Germanic)
I've seen really good examples of re-do's of old silos in Buenos Aires. Great looking buildings with nicely crafted interiors.

what about that huge container on the top. what's going on up there?
October 1, 2007 at 1:39 pm
This is really cool. I wouldn't mind having an apartment like that. We have an old water tower in my town that's been unused for many years (possibly even a few decades) that I'd love to turn into some kind of building. But, I don't think it'd be the most energy efficient. The whole thing is made out of metal. But it'd be fun!
October 1, 2007 at 12:53 pm

Ingenious. Sustainability and historic preservation do go hand-in-hand. Hopefully, we'll see even more historic places renovated with green materials and technologies in the future.

What a beautiful structure. A little cold and starck on the inside for my taste, but what a fantastic re-do. I wish I could be so creative.

Witty and life-like. Laugh out loud at points. There was a lot I could relate to in this book, but if you don't have connections to the Catholic church, it may not be as funny.
Aug 05, 2007 Sarah rated it 5 of 5 stars
one of my favorite books (if not my absolute fave). it's been on my shelf-- torn and tattered by now-- for over 10 years. i can't say that a guy would really appreciate it, but if you're even a slightly introspective woman, i think you'd enjoy.

This is the perfect book for my nightstand. Each chapter stands alone, and is witty and wonderful, but true as well. I find myself agreeing with the author on so many issues, but often, I have never even thought about them, much less articulated. Just resonated with me. I have read this several times, and bought out all the copies B&N had when they were in the Bargain Books pile. I have since given them all away!

Having had a Catholic school education for 8 years in the 1950s and 1960s, I always enjoy reading about other people who had nuns for teachers. Every nun who ever taught in a grade school at that time must have learned their teaching methods from the same very old, very mean head nun. Or maybe the nuns were all mean because they had to wear those crazy outfits!

Shelves: young-adult
Funny, realistic outlook on Catholic upbringing, could really relate with most things. Dont know how my 18yr old Daughter acquired this book and she doesn't remember either for she never read it. Found it, dusted it off, gave it a try. It's not biased in any way at all and thats what I liked most about it. Liked some of the quotes too.
Jul 26, 2008 Jamie Sunderland rated it 5 of 5 stars
Another of my all time favorite books. This is a laugh-out-loud-until-your-sides-hurt book, with many tender, insightful, and wise moments as well. If you were raised Catholic and have a sense of humor, this book is for you. If you don't know anything about the Catholic faith, read it anyway!
Mar 11, 2010 Karen Okamoto rated it 5 of 5 stars
Chasing Grace was a wonderful, funny book that I absolutely loved. It made me want to share my funny moments with my original family, and continue to have the great times with my family now. Read it, learn from it, enjoy it, ....never put it down until you finish it! It is great!
Aug 27, 2007 Kate rated it 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this book, but know I would have liked it more if I had some of those common Catholic experiences that were mentioned so many times. I found it a little disorienting at times because it was not chronological - instead being organized by topic.
Sep 23, 2011 Aubree Bowling rated it 2 of 5 stars
This was a book I wanted to be a humorous memoir and instead it was more a collection of contemplative essays. Which wasn't what I hoped to read, so I was a bit bored and let down.
Mar 20, 2013 Cheryl rated it 3 of 5 stars
It was good, but it wasn't what I expected it to be. I didn't get the sense of how Catholocism affected some of the decisions or played a part of some of the stories.
Jan 03, 2012 Mary Rita rated it 4 of 5 stars
Anyone who was raised Catholic (or those that enjoy a good laugh) should read this book. It's very entertaining & was an easy read.
Aug 03, 2008 Sheila rated it 5 of 5 stars
Recommends it for: Catholics
Shelves: five-stars, christianity
Hilarious. A must Read for all Irish Catholics! Added bonus if you went to any sort of Sunday School or Catholic School.
Oct 26, 2010 Nancy rated it 4 of 5 stars
Pretty funny if you grew up in a large, Catholic, Irish family and went to Catholic school.

The audio commentary, with director Randal Kleiser and choreographer Patricia Birch, is mostly a snoozefest other than two little gems: That actor Michael Biehn (The Terminator) and director Andy Tennant (Hitch) make appearances as a jock and dancer, respectively; and that the original hand jive had a "much raunchier title," according to Birch. The Rockin' Rydell edition is well worth the investment, at least until Travolta hobbles around in a leather jacket for the 50th anniversary reunion. -- Ellen A. Kim

Yes, that's right. But also, the international versions are in PAL not NTSC. PAL does take up more disc space, although they could have fitted it all in one disc if they wanted. I guess if you want the best picture quality, buy the Australian DVD. Olivia will thank you for it.

Medicaid Program Integrity:
Increased Oversight Needed to Ensure Integrity of Growing Managed Care Expenditures
GAO-14-341: Published: May 19, 2014. Publicly Released: Jun 18, 2014.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7114
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
GAO identified a gap in state and federal efforts to ensure Medicaid managed care program integrity. Federal laws require the states and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to ensure the integrity of the Medicaid program, including payments under Medicaid managed care, which are growing at a faster rate than payments under fee-for-service (FFS). However, five state program integrity (PI) units and four Medicaid Fraud Control Units (MFCU) from the seven states included in GAO's review said they primarily focus their efforts on Medicaid FFS claims and have not begun to closely examine program integrity in Medicaid managed care. In addition, federal entities have taken few steps to address Medicaid managed care program integrity.
CMS, the federal agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that oversees Medicaid has largely delegated managed care program integrity oversight activities to the states, but has not updated its program integrity guidance since 2000.
Additionally, CMS does not require states to audit managed care payments, and state officials GAO interviewed said they require additional CMS support, such as additional guidance and the option to obtain audit assistance from existing Medicaid integrity contractors in overseeing Medicaid managed care program integrity.
The involvement of multiple entities in conducting post-payment reviews, audits, and investigations has resulted in fragmented program integrity efforts; yet the effects of fragmentation are unclear. As GAO has found in past work, coordinating activities can alleviate many problems created by fragmentation, thus allowing entities to avoid unnecessary duplication and overlap. Most of the program integrity officials from the seven states GAO included in this review said that coordination efforts helped them manage overlap and avoid unnecessary duplication; however some officials said that coordination presented additional challenges for time and staff resources. Given that combined federal and state efforts have recovered only a small portion of the estimated improper payments, continued monitoring of federal and state program integrity efforts in Medicaid will be an important means of assessing whether the current structure is effective.
Because of the gap GAO identified between state and federal program integrity efforts in managed care, neither state nor federal entities are well positioned to identify improper payments made to managed care organizations (MCOs), nor are they able to ensure that MCOs are taking appropriate actions to identify, prevent, or discourage improper payments. Improving federal and state efforts to strengthen Medicaid managed care program integrity takes on greater urgency as states that choose to expand their Medicaid programs under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act are likely to do so with managed care arrangements, and will receive a 100 percent federal match for newly eligible individuals from 2014 through 2016. Unless CMS takes a larger role in holding states accountable, and provides guidance and support to states to ensure adequate program integrity efforts in Medicaid managed care, the gap between state and federal efforts to monitor managed care program integrity will leave a growing portion of federal Medicaid dollars vulnerable to improper payments.
Why GAO Did This Study
In fiscal year 2013, the Medicaid program covered about 71.7 million individuals at a cost of $431.1 billion, of which CMS estimated that $14.4 billion (5.8 percent) were improper payments. Multiple state and federal entities are involved in program integrity efforts, such as payment review, auditing, and investigating fraud. GAO was asked to examine how these entities ensure comprehensive Medicaid program integrity. This report examines state and federal roles and responsibilities to identify potential (1) gaps in efforts to ensure Medicaid program integrity coverage; and (2) fragmentation, overlap, or duplication of program integrity efforts, and efforts to coordinate activities. GAO examined relevant federal laws and regulations, CMS guidance, and state program integrity reviews. GAO also interviewed officials from CMS and HHS's Office of Inspector General, as well as PI unit and MFCU officials from seven states.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that CMS increase its oversight of program integrity efforts by requiring states to audit payments to and by MCOs; updating its guidance on Medicaid managed care program integrity; and providing states additional support for managed care oversight, such as audit assistance from existing contractors. In its comments, HHS asked for clarification on the first recommendation and concurred with the other two. In response, GAO clarified its first recommendation—that CMS take the added step of requiring states to audit the appropriateness of payments to and by MCOs to better ensure Medicaid program integrity.

SNYDER — After prod-ucing 30 runs over its last three games, Sweetwater's offense was held in check by Snyder pitcher Taylor Munkres on Friday.
Fortunately, Sweetwater's James Clift was doing just as well for the Mustangs as he got the pitching win in a 3-2 victory over the Tigers.
SNYDER — The expected softball showdown Friday between District 4-3A's top two teams turned into a one-sided affair instead.
And unfortunately for Sweetwater, it was the host Lady Tigers who dominated as they won, 10-0, to take the outright district lead.
Snyder is now 5-1, while Sweetwater falls to 4-2.
The Lady Mustangs had defeated Snyder 11-8 in the District 4-3A opener March 15 in Sweetwater, helped largely by a 10-run inning.
But in the rematch, they were shut out for the first time all year on just one hit, a fourth-inning single by Kelsi Crosson off Snyder's Adrianna Hernandez.
ABILENE — The Sweet-water High School boys golf team is now in fifth place entering Tuesday's final round of the District 4-3A tournament after a 17-shot improvement in its score Friday at Abilene.
Sweetwater went from a 352 to 335 for a 687 total, moving up one place from the first round. But it lost ground to the top two teams, Big Spring (596) and Wylie (614). Only the top two teams and top two individuals not on qualifying teams advance to regionals.
The Sweetwater High School and Sweetwater Middle School girls competed recently at track meets held in Colorado City and Big Spring, respectively.
Individual results follow:
Kendra Crosson — 1st in 200 dash (26.8)
Suede Shirley — 3rd in 200 dash (27.08)
Abby Garcia — 6th in 200 dash; 6th in high jump
Kayla Chowning — 4th in high jump
Zanesha Collins — 6th in discus
Cierra Knox — 4th in shot put
800 relay — 2nd (Kelsi Crosson, Kendra Crosson, Garcia, Shirley)
Kensi Chowning — 2nd in discus, 2nd in shot put, 4th in high jump
Highland hosted a junior high track meet Thursday with Roscoe and Blackwell teams also competing.
Roscoe and Highland will be in Roscoe for their district meet on Thursday, and Blackwell hosts its district meet also set for Thursday.
Highland, Blackwell and Roscoe athletes who placed at Highland's meet follow:
1. Team totals — 5. Roscoe 43; 6. Highland 38; 9. Blackwell 18.
1600 — 1. Braiden Moore, Roscoe, 4:02.20; 3. Clyde Dent, Highland, 4:20.70.
2400 — 3. Braiden Moore, Roscoe, 9:12.20.
The summer weather is already creeping into the spring season, as today's high will be 93 with mostly sunny skies. Winds will be from the south-southwest around 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.
Tonight will be partly cloudy with a low around 63 and south-southeast winds at 20 to 25 mph. Gusts could top out at 35 mph.

My wife and stayed here 07/01/2013 to 11/01/2013 for my birthday and we had an absolutely marvelous stay. It is everything you would expect from a five star hotel.
Every single member of staff is helpful and friendly.
From the moment we stepped out of the taxi upon arrival to the moment we left we felt as if we were valued quests.
We had a standard double room which was elegantly appointed, spotlessly clean and very quiet. The room had plenty of storage space and a safety deposit box (which was free).
The hotel is in an excellent location within walking distance of every thing you go to Vienna to see and do. Two minutes to the Stadt Opera, five minutes to the Hofburg and five minutes to the main shopping areas of Karntner Strasse.
If you intend visiting the Belvedere for the Gustav Klimt paintings, rather than walking all the way up Prinz Eugene Strasse, which is a bit grotty, you can enter via Rennweg which is much closer to the hotel.
We will return to Vienna as it is a beautiful city and we will certainly stay at the Grand Wien again.
I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough.

Survivor 26: Fans vs Favorites Discussion

Re: Survivor 26: Fans vs Favorites Discussion
I'm so glad Cochrane won, as he was the only one who deserved the million dollars out of the final five who went into the episode at the start. That was probably the most dominant game play since Boston Rob's last season. It would have been completely unsatisfying and would have dragged this season's rank as one of the better seasons down big-time if anyone else had won, and only the latter half of the season was good anyway. Cochrane was getting a bit full of himself at times (hey "challenge monster," you did have a major advantage in two of them), but for the most part he lived up to his own hype this time and was a 180 degrees away from his terrible and disappointing performance last time, where he just folded under the pressure.
I was wondering how Sherri and Dawn would be paid too, since neither of them got any votes. Do they both win the second place prize of $100,000 (Dawn deserves it more than Sherri, but not by much)? Do they split the second and third place prize money? It would have been nice if some more emphasis was placed on this during that waste of a reunion show.
Brenda is catching a lot of flack around the web for her "mean-spirited" treatment of Dawn by making her remove her false teeth, and I'm sure there was some payback involved, but at the same time she did have a valid point in bringing it up. Dawn said she was ready to walk off the show and give up the million dollars if she had to appear on camera without her bottom teeth, and Brenda saved her from having to make that choice. So, Brenda was essentially saying "Why should I give my vote to someone who was willing to quit over vanity?" It calls into question her honesty and the whole "I'm playing for my kid's college fund" stuff if she was so easily willing to quit. Now, I think Brenda could have made the same point without forcing her to actually go through with it, because all of Dawn's reluctance to pull them out made it pretty clear that she was lying about saying she wouldn't have quit that day, so while it was sort of a cheap shot and a bit of revenge on her part, I do see where Brenda was coming from and don't think it reflects too badly on her.
Sherri gave one of the absolutely worst final tribal council performances I have ever seen. Who the hell brags about how wealthy they are and how many businesses and employees they have when you're asking people to vote to give you a million dollars? Every other millionaire who's been on the show has known to keep that a secret if they could (unless they were widely recognized, like Jimmy Johnson. Jeff Kent was able to skate by most people). Also, telling everyone that she treated them like her employees? How off-putting. And while Eric was completely accurate about her not doing anything this season (ironic coming from Eric), flying below radar is a valid strategy to get to the finals, so I thought he was a bit over-the-top in his criticism of her; and it was also a bit strange to see Eric finally wake up and get mad about something, since he seemed so mellow. That being said, Sherri handled it the completely wrong way, and managed to alienate even more of the jury by shouting Eric down and saying she didn't need his vote. Not that I think she would have received any votes anyway, but if she even had any chance she completely blew it there.
I did feel bummed for Eric. Getting medevac'd after making it to the final episode is the worst. I don't think he's that great a player or very charismatic, but I hope he gets another shot at returning in the near future.
Eddie was exactly as he was described by both himself and Cochrane: an idiot. A bar with dogs? I'm pretty sure that would be a health code violation. Plus, his question to Cochrane (also bar related) was moronic, but Cochrane --as he did with all the questions-- answered it perfectly and with grace and humor.
I thought Andrea and Michael came off by far the best out of the jury members. Andrea was a real class act by congratulating everyone and saying she has no bitterness over the blindside and appreciates the gameplay. It doesn't make for great TV, but it was nice to see nonetheless. I hope she gets to return as well, since she seems to learn and modify her gameplay a bit each time; though she's got to stop clinging on to the "hot guys" so much. She's a strong player in her own right and shouldn't rely on that. Michael had a good point about how Cochrane sort of relied upon Dawn's intelligence gathering and was not getting a lot of criticism that she was, although Cochrane also did not form the tight emotional bonds with people that she did, so it was less of a bitter pill to swallow when he got you voted out.
Philip was surprisingly kind of entertaining and rational in both the tribal and the reunion show. Of course, there was the ridiculous voting Sherri out of Stealth'R'Us crap (Malcolm's reaction was hilarious), but I think that was just for fun. He paid a great complement to Cochrane on his gameplay and was funny at the reunion show.
Malcolm and Reynold are both strong physical players, and Malcolm is marginally good at strategy (but great at making big moves which shake things up even if they don't always work out for him in the long run), but I don't think it's possible for these two to be any more full of themselves if they tried. Both of them made the tribal council questions about themselves, which is the height of arrogance. And Malcolm with his
Legends of the Fall
hair better not quit his day job, because he was an awful actor even with the low bar that's set by soap opera acting.
That was one of the better final tribal councils we've had, but one of the worst reunion shows ever, and reunion shows also don't set much of a high standard to begin with. I hated that they didn't even let the other contestants besides the jury sit on the stage. I think they earned that much respect at least. They used to at least try and ask all or most of them a question, then it got down to just talking to the interesting ones, and now they've eliminated them altogether. I guess we needed to waste more time showing that teenage girls get nervous on camera when they're awkwardly asked to talk about their crushes (on Malcolm), that old people are cute with their casual bigotry (Rudy), that Boston Rob could whore his book out like nobody's business, and that Richard Hatch likes to get naked. Really, riveting stuff, producers. I thought Boston Rob was going to say that Philip's stalkerish man-crush on him was a bit creepy, but I guess not. One of the fan theories is that they didn't put the rest of the contestants on stage to draw attention away from the fact that Brandon was not asked to come back for the reunion show, but who cares? He recorded a remembrance of the fallen survivors clip, so they can't be that upset with him, and even if he wasn't there, so what? Show everyone else. I think they just keep cutting everyone out to waste time. Honestly, they didn't even ask Sherri, Dawn, and Cochrane that many questions. The one pointed question Jeff asked was why Malcolm didn't keep searching for the immunity idol even with Andrea shadowing him (answer: he actually did keep looking for a while, it just wasn't shown) but that was answered in a video clip a long time ago, so that wasn't even that great a question. I don't care if Shamar was a dickhead, I want the other people up there being asked some interesting questions, not seeing a bunch of filler from people who weren't even on this season.
The clue about next season first made me think something shark related, like Australia again or South Africa, but after a second I got the "blood is thicker than water" connection. So obviously it's going to be a bunch of family members competing together. I don't know how that's going to play out, since the obvious move if the families are only part of the tribes would be for individual players to vote out the family members immediately, since obviously they're going to stay loyal to each other. Even if you don't care about voting out a member of your own family, it would make you irredeemable in the eyes of the other contestants and fans voting for the fan favorite. The solution would be to make both tribes up entirely out of different families so that they wouldn't be the obvious first targets (just like how anyone who gets too flirty early on gets voted out right away too). I'm just hoping that with it being families that they don't go for the obvious and have a gaggle of Hantz family members on the show, because the three or four of them they've shown so far have all been assholes. Boston Rob and his wife Amanda(?) would be an obvious choice if they go for returning family members, but with both of them being former winners and BR being such a dominant and well liked player I'd have to think they'd be major targets right out the gate. Maybe they'll stick to families of unknowns, but the trend has been to have returning players each season now.
Anyway, great latter half of the season, with some of the best tribal councils ever, and the person who deserved to win won, so all in all I'm very happy with how things went down.
'First Contact' is the tale of a man who just wants to cash in on his creation so he can get wasted on an island full of naked women, but his fans keep insisting that he's a saintly visionary who has profoundly altered the world. AKA - 'I Don't Want to be a Statue: The Gene Roddenberry Story.'

Losing Control of my Life, Only Rely on God
PriscillaNov 5 2013,
I'm the type of person who craves being "in control" and it is so unhealthy to my spiritual life, because I have thought for so long that God is not in control. This year God has been breaking down my control by making me feel out of control, and I've learned to trust in Him & to surrender. A verse I read today that I really loved is Psalm 115:1, "Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to Your name give glory."
