Medicare Forms: Are You Ready for HIPAA 5010?
Posted on 15. Sep, 2009 by in Provider News
New, standardized reports will show you why your claim was rejected and how to fix it.
You've got a few years to implement the HIPAA 5010 form, but CMS wants to make sure you're completely ready by the time it takes effect on Jan. 1, 2012.
The 5010 form, which will make way for the ICD-10 code set, increases the field size for diagnosis codes from five bytes to seven bytes, allowing for ease of use once the ICD-10 transition occurs. But it also includes other changes that you'll need to know about.
For instance: Once the 5010 goes into effect, you'll have to get familiar with the potential claims rejection notices.
Example: If you receive a 277 claims acknowledgement (CA) rejection, "the billing staff will likely need to produce reports, drawn from the data returned in the 277CA transaction," said Chris Stahlecker, director of Medicare billing procedures, during a Sept. 9 CMS open door forum.
"We are expecting that when Medicare fee-for-service issues a 277CA, that the receiver (the providers on this call or their technical representatives) will receive that 277CA and will produce for you a human readable error report so you can understand how to fix your billing error and resubmit that particular claim," Stahlecker said.
Plus: Currently, each MAC produces custom error reports that vary by jurisdiction, but by moving to the use of standardized edits, Medicare is enabling the production of standardized reports across all jurisdictions, Stahlecker said.
Clearinghouses and software vendors can use these transactions to produce reports tailored to their customers, she noted.
CMS is currently developing educational materials on 5010, and their availability will be announced via the CMS listserve, said Aryeh Langer, health insurance specialist with CMS, during the call.
To read CMS's full HIPAA 5010 PowerPoint presentation, go here....
- Free updates on CPT, ICD-9, HCPCS, Medicare, NCCI edits, and ICD-10.

Spaghetti, brownies and chocolate chip cookies!?! I'm in!!
via justjared.com Britney Spears shows off her rockin' bikinibody on the cover of Shape magazine's June 2013 issue, on newsstands May 20.
Here's what the 31-year-old entertainer had to share with the mag:
On her upcoming shows in Las Vegas:"The [Vegas] performances won't be simple—they'll be a massive party from start to finish. And to pull this off, I have to be in top condition and running at full speed."
On staying in shape: "I'm doing 90 minutes of yoga twice a week in addition to a lot of cardio—hour-long sessions three times a week with my trainer, Tony Martinez."
On keeping up with her diet: "Dieting is tough… because my specialties are spaghetti, brownies, and chocolate chip cookies. I try not to make those too often or I'll eat the whole bowl of dough."

Benjamin .177 NP titan review
By Buckaroo
2013-12-09 11:18:46
I agree with most of the reviews I have seen. The scope isn't of top quality and I have replaced it. Don't seem to find much adjustment in the trigger pull either. After shooting 5 different types of pellets, I have found the Gamo Red fire and the Gamo Rocket to be the best for holding a close pattern. This is after at least 200 shots for a break-in period. This is a good rifle for the cost.

Scope mounts didn't matach
By INTRUDER

I bought this rifle a month or so ago, It is a joy to shoot and likes Ammo Tomahawk pellets. I've tried Blue Flame and Red Fire they are fast but lite. My next try will be the Crossman Ultra Dome pellet. I put a wide angel 4x1x4.5 banner scope on it which I had laying around and it works great. When I unpacked the scope that came with the gun I noticed there where two different scope mounts so I contacted Crossman and they said they would send out a pair that matched free of charge. That is why I give them 5 stares.

Titan np .177
By Yearcher
2013-07-22 21:48:53
Very nice gun. Very solid. The scope works but mine was quite distorted around the edges. I'd say if you get this gun you'll want to consider a better scope. Also the trigger is quite bad. Long heavy pull. A Charliedatuna grtIII is definately a big help to better accuracy. My break in is quite long and after 3 kinds of pellets, nearly 650 shots and 3 different airgun scopes accuracy is good but not great and at least mine is certainly not the tack driver others seem to be getting but I am starting to get a 1" group at 20 yds. But not the 1/2" some say they are getting at 30+ yards. Overall still a very nice gun for the price.

Benjamin Titan NP (.177)
By Anonymous
2013-05-26 10:30:31
Nice feeling rifle , weight is good not too light not too heavy. Quieter than I thought it would be. Smooth cocking and shooting , also due to its quietness. Tight trigger(probably 4lb to 5lb) is two stage adjustable. After initial breaking in of about 50 shots it shoots 1inch groups at 20 and 30 yards(60 feet and 90 feet). The scope works but seems a little blurry with or without the see thru covers. Scope mount would be better with weaver style mounting. I plan to replace the scope. It does not have iron sights, I bought this rifle because of this . Seems to like heavier pellets, I used several different weights settling for 9.3 grain (8.2 thru 10.5 work well also). Need swivels or something to add a sling. It`s my first thumb hole rifle, I like it.

My titan np .177 does 1/2 inch groups at 60 feet and i'm able to hit a softball at 340 feet. I switched the junky 4x32 scope for a UTG 4-16x40 from amazon.com. . I shoot crosman premiers 10.5 grain domed pellets (the ones in the cardboard box)i find those them the most accurate. It is a great hunter for birds and small mammals (small mammals only head shots or a perfect heart shot). Over all it's a great gun that is accurate nitro piston rifle that can be used to hunt or plink. It could do with a little more knock down for full time hunting.

Titan .177 cal
By Mr. Fat boy
2013-02-18 07:11:40
I have owned a Benjamin pump air rifle since 1982. Same gun ! It finally bit the dust this last fall . It took many, many , rabbits, starlings, and a few squirrels.
I recently purchased a .177 cal np . The scope is junk! ,the trigger is not so hot, but the gun is solid. After mounting a 3x9x40 ,the gun is holding 1/2 inch
Groups at 60 feet. I have taken 2 raccoons ,also many starlings . Tack driver for sure! I shoot Gamo red fire pellets, and also put 1 drop of hoppes no.9
In the chamber every 100-150 shots. Couldn't be more satisfied except for the junk 4x32scope, and tight trigger.

This Rifle is amazing .177 Titan NP
By SteveV
2013-01-27 17:39:12
Perfect fit and finish. Power of a .22LR Rim fire. Accuracy of a snipers Rifle. (1" groups at 60ft) I love this instrument. Put a few hundred rounds through it before you zero the scope in. Also, due to the superior accuracy of the gun, be aware that when you change to a different weight/shape pellet the scope will need to be zeroed in for that pellet.

Benjamin Titan NP .177 Tack Driver
By whitesalmon
2013-01-06 15:18:32
This is a great gun!, Mine took about 150-200 shoots to fully brake in. Now it's a tack driver. At 100ft with standard Crosman lead pellets it goes right thru 1/2 inch sheet rock. This air rifle has seriously changed the way i view air rifles. For the price you can't go wrong, Now I'm looking at buying the Benjamin Trail 1500 .177 and dreaming about the .357

Benjamin Titan™ NP (.177)
By Randy C.
2013-01-01 09:54:33
I received this rifle as a warrantee exchange on a Remington Vantage NP that died after only ~600 shots. I like the ergonomics of the stock, but I would not use the butt of the rifle for anything other than a shoulder rest, for fear of breaking it. The first shot with this rifle went BOOM, much to my surprise. The oil used in it dieseled, hence the boom, but it hasn't happened since. The rifle took a bit of shooting to get broken in, during which time shots were all over the target. After that, shot groups began to tighten up enough to make zeroing my scope worthwhile. I didn't use the included scope, because it has a fixed parallax adjustment for 15 yards, and I rarely shoot that close. The rifle has to have a scope, however, since it has no iron sights, and no provision for mounting any. That is a lack, in my opinion. The adjustable trigger is nice, but no adjustment of the screw will improve the trigger feel. Another minus: there is currently no parts list available for this airgun. After my experience with the Vantage, I'd like to have some spares, but can't order them. So, pro's: Accurate, powerful, fairly quiet, with good ergonomics. Con's: No iron sights, heavy trigger, no spare parts available (yet).. Would I recommend it? I'm checking Yes.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
A A+F Overall Experience: It's Great – If you are looking for a college that isn't too big and isn't too small then AUC is great for you. Its the perfect place to grow intellectually and spiritually...
F A+F Nightlife: There is no night life at my school. There isn't much to do in the area and nothing is really open after ten.
B- A+F Diversity: My school is very diverse. There are many different races represented. It is a Seventh-Day-Adventist college. There are many black and latino students but there could be more white students.
F A+F Scholarships: Do It Early – Take care of registration and financial aid as early as possible, cause it will take several days to do no matter what. If you wait till the last moment you'll register late and have to pay a fine
D- A+F Facilities: Very Religious – The school is very religious, the social scene is pretty bad there's nothing going on 90% of the time no opportunites for anything.
F A+F Athletics: Sports Non Existant – You don't play any other schools, there's no offical team for any sport they only have intermurals for basketball and soccer.
C- A+F Off-Campus Housing: The off-campus housing is not that much better also. I think they should remake all the house again beacause they look old. i i live in the drom do i really dont have that much to say.
C- A+F Campus Housing: The housing at Atlantic Union College is not what i thought it would be. The droms have no cable and most of the things in the dorm room. The social atmosphere is limited it really nothing to do on campus at and to really get anywhere u have to have a car which something i dont have. The amount of money I'm paying for this school i think i should be getting better.I also try to make the best out of things on this campus.I rather my own apartment then live on campus.
Greek Life: GREEK Who? GREEK life is pretty much non existant here. There is no atmosphere of Greek Life, PERIOD.
D+ A+F Guys & Girls: HOT or NOT – During the school week, you wont find too many catching your eye by their dress. For church, most students do take it up a notch and do dress nice though. The social life is a little weak if your not involved in intramurals or choir. Events are not often enough to keep things spiced. The small student body does allow for everyone to pretty much know everyone so friendships/relationship can easily be made. As for cuties? Not so much. Hot?? ..... final answer: NOT.
C A+F Diversity: AUC is a small school. The students are predominantly black and a huge majority out of that population are those of Haitian background. There are other cultural backgrounds here like those of Cape Verdean, Hispanic, Jamaican descent and a few others that are represented. AUC is a christian Seventh-day Adventist college and because of this, the students have the option of attending church chapel and worship. They can become involved in ministries like choir, acting/drama and sign language as well.
B+ A+F Facilities: Inside Scoop – this campus has a lot of spirituality. the people get along fairly well. its a great community to grow.
C+ A+F Campus Dining: the food given out to students could be better. I think that its not as healthy as it should be.
B+ A+F Overall Experience: My Life at School – Atlantic Union College has been a wonderful experience. The kind people, and understanding professors make it easy to fit in on campus. There's no pressure to follow the crowd; and the focus is on expressing your own individuality.
A- A+F Nightlife: The nightlife at Atlantic Union College is nothing like a secular colleges. It is a Christian based environment, and offers few parties, and some cookouts. The only place you would actually find a party is in another town.
A A+F Local Atmosphere: Small Yet Interesting – South Lancaster is a small town located in the north part of Massachusetts. It is known for it's famous farm cultured ice cream and friendly faces. The town offers a beautiful scenery, and is very comforting.
A+ A+F Campus Strictness: Good Morals – drug free, tobbacoo free, alcohol free. good dress code, no jewlery
B+ A+F Off-Campus Dining: Right across the girls'dorm, there 's a little restaurant where you can get pizza, sandwichwes, salads, and other snacks. Their price is pretty fair and they also have vegetarian and vegan options.
B A+F Facilities: More Computers – More computers at the library will definetely be a blessing to the student body, especially during the week of finals
B+ A+F Academics: An Oasis and a Home – I attend Atlantic Union College because it is a christian school. Most of the people (faculty and staff) are nice, always willing to help us reach our academic goals, as well as willing to give sound advice on other topics (relationships, christianity, etc). The faculty members do their best at providing spiritual activiites for the student body and different community outreach (local and abroad) to make a difference in this world where so many are wounded and in need of help. It is a very small college with many beautiful nature sceneries that create an atmosphere of peace, needed in this troubled world. Most people know one another, which creates a warm familial atmosphere. Atlantic Union College is like a little oasis and a little home to many; in fact, lots of students stick around even when they graduate!It is also one of the least expensive private colleges.The nursing progam at Atlantic Union College is very challenhging, it definitely causes a lot of stress. However, as nursing students we know that we are getting the best education that will not only help us succeed the NCLEX-RN examination but also will help us become compassionate and knowledgeable nurses.There is room for improvement at Atlantic Union College as far opportunities offered to students, technology, materials available at the library, etc. Nevertheless, if a student is committed to learning, they will get their money's worth!
A+ A+F Parking: Atlantic Union has a lot of space for parking. I have not run into trouble finding parking. The building next to the nursing department sometimes gets full but after waiting a minute or two a spot opens up quick.I have not been late to class because of parking yet.
A A+F Drug Safety: No there is not a big drug scene at Atlantic Union. Most students do no interact with students that are into that scene. I have not run into someone that uses drugs at Atlantic Union yet.
B+ A+F Computers: Atlantic Union's computers seem to be in every building. A student can find a computers just about every corner. The downfall of Atlantic Union's computers is that some computers do no have Microsoft words. In the library there are specific computers that have Microsoft words and sometimes this conflicts with students.
B A+F Health & Safety: Health and Safety – There aren't that many safely officers that patrol the campus at night, but they're accessible over the phone and I feel safe nonetheless

Whilst the final cosmetic design for the Mersey Gateway Bridge is yet to be completed, the project to enhance transport capacity is gaining support locally, and will help support growth in the North West. The project will see a cable-stayed one kilometre span cross the Manchester Ship Canal and the Mersey to allow better transport capacity between Runcorn and Widness. This will be the centerpiece of a 9.5km route, and a 2,300 metre river crossing that will help to better link Merseyside with the national motorway network in Cheshire. Three piers are planned for the bridge, each rising 135 metres above the riverbank. These will carry the two 300 metre long outer spans that cross deep water channels in the river. It is hoped this design will minimize any impact on the river's estuary and the environment. The project was conceived as the region faced up to the over-congestion of the Silver Jubilee Bridge. That crossing now operates with 80,000 vehicles crossing it each day, ten times the level of traffic that it was built for, and almost twice the capacity for which it was expanded to accommodate in 1977. With three lanes of traffic flowing in both directions, the new bridge will help to carry a significantly higher level of traffic with less delay. The final design of the new bridge has yet to be revealed, but it will use some valuable innovations. Among these will be the removal of toll plazas. Instead of conventional tolls, vehicles crossing will be subject to Open Road Tolling (ORT). This will see people charged for crossing the river through camera technology recording their details as they pass. With the government focusing heavily on infrastructure as a route to growth in the economy, this £431 million plan is a big opportunity to generate activity. It has been made the centre of a regional strategy for that purpose, and it is hoped it will serve as a catalyst for regeneration in Halton and the wider North West. Mersey Gateway in numbers

How much would you pay for a bottle of California Sauvignon Blanc?
The only wine from that category to ever earn a classic rating, the 2007 Merry Edwards Russian River Valley (96 points), cost $29, and the current vintage, 2011, is $30. So would you pay more than eight times that for a bottle of Screaming Eagle Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley? No? Well what if I told you that you could immediately turn around and resell it for 10 times that price? (That's more than $2,500 for a single bottle of Napa Sauvignon Blanc, for those still trying to do the math, at a profit of $2,250 per bottle.)
That was the conundrum facing a select group of Screaming Eagle mailing-list members this past summer when California's most famous cult label released 100 six-packs of a 2010 Sauvignon Blanc priced at $1,500 each. The wines started showing up at auction soon thereafter, with a six-bottle lot in its original wooden case selling for $15,535 at a Spectrum auction in June. Screaming Eagle's representatives weren't happy, announcing that they would limit the 2011 production to just 300 bottles.
"[The Screaming Eagle Sauvignon Blanc] was for their personal use only," Screaming Eagle direct-to-consumer manager Patrick Chapman told Wine-Searcher.com in June as the Spectrum auction bids were coming in. "And, of course, people said it was for their personal use only, but the reality [is] that it wasn't. People are turning it over for profit, for their own selfish greed."
Without getting into a discussion of black pots and glass houses, the frustration of having sold something for one-tenth its value is completely understandable, as is the temptation to resell a severely undervalued commodity. Your perspective all depends on which side of the cash box you're standing on at the yard sale chockablock with misidentified Murano glass, Roseville ceramics, Eames chairs and Tiffany lamps.
Just how halving the Screaming Eagle Sauvignon Blanc production will serve to deflate the hype around the wine is a mystery. If anything, the 2011 bottling's rarity will only push demand—and its auction value—even higher. Some Internet commenters have suggested Screaming Eagle's disdain for profiteering was a feigned show to further publicize the wine's desirability and secondary-market value.
What has given any potential Screaming Eagle gray market traders pause, however, is what happened a few months later. In September 2012, a small but vocal constituency of the membership claimed they had been kicked off the Screaming Eagle mailing list because they had resold their allocations for a profit, an unseemly little facet of the cult wine market known as "flipping." Some of the ousted took to online wine message boards, including the WineSpectator.com Forums, to express their outrage and suggest there may be legal recourse to be had. (There isn't.) Perhaps telling, none of the recently removed mailing-list members I contacted were willing to speak about their experience on the record.
Flipping is nothing new—in fact, its heyday passed with that of the cult Cabernets and the Clinton-era economy—but newer brands like Scarecrow, Saxum and Kosta Browne have filled the places of Napa Cabernets whose release prices have caught up with their aftermarket value. The Internet and social media have changed the game as well—it's easier than ever for wineries to spy and purge careless flippers, and the red-handed haven't been shy about lambasteing their no-longer-golden geese.
Screaming Eagle estate manager Armand de Maigret clarified the winery's policy last Friday, telling me that the members removed from the mailing list in September had been flipping their allocations during the hot summer months, when the wine could easily be cooked in transit. "If the temperature of the wine goes above 85° F, the wine is killed," de Maigret said.
"If you do not respect the wine, from the flower to the cork to the table, then the wine will suffer," de Maigret said. "If somebody has our wine and doesn't respect it in transportation from place A to place B, we suffer from it. If we realize that someone is flipping the wine in a month that it is super-hot … or when it's super-cold, and all that person is interested in is a quick buck and they don't care about the health of the wine, then we don't have any respect for that person and we will remove that person from the list."
Flipping isn't unique to the cult wine industry. You see it virtually everywhere that demand greatly overwhelms supply, from ticket scalpers to people queuing up days in advance to buy the next Air Jordans, Apple product or Tickle-Me Elmo.
But wine lovers spend years on winery waiting lists, hoping to be offered the chance to buy just a few bottles of Screaming Eagle, Sine Qua Non, Marcassin or any of many others. Shouldn't their patience be rewarded with the freedom to do with their property as they please in America's market economy?
Or should vintners be commended for charging their loyal customers below-market prices and protecting the provenance of their products—for the benefit of those willing to shell out big bucks for wines at auction—by keeping them out of the hands of those who would profit off a spoiled product?
In part 2 of this blog, find out what Screaming Eagle's Armand de Maigret, Sine Qua Non's Manfred Krankl, Marcassin's John Wetlaufer, Kosta Browne's Michael Browne, Saxum's Justin Smith and Cayuse's Christophe Baron think about the secondary-market value of their wines, and how they deal with mailing-list members caught flipping them.
Troy Peterson — Burbank, CA — January 10, 2013 5:10pm ET
Wow! Robert, I hope you will address how each of the aforementioned wineries defines "flipping." Is it putting up your allocation for sale within days/weeks/months of receipt? Is it putting up any portion of your allocation or all of your allocation that's offensive? What if I buy 6 bottles of something because I usually enjoy the wine but find that I don't care for the vintage when I open my first bottle a year later. Am I enjoined from selling the other 5? This is a real tricky issue.
If the folks at Screaming Eagle are being completely honest with the reason they gave for kicking members off their list then I applaud them. I can't stand it when a winery ships in poor weather conditions or late in the week regardless of weather, and conversely they shouldn't have to stand for greedy flippers damaging their babies in like manner. It harms their reputation when someone gets a bad bottle and posts a writing note in a forum.
Jim Mcclure — Ft Worth, TX USA — January 10, 2013 5:43pm ET
Once a customer purchases a bottle, barring any preexisting agreement with the winery to the contrary, the customer should be free to do with the bottles as they choose within the law. It is their item.
That being said, I also believe the winery has the right to refuse sale to anyone for whatever reason, from not liking their flipping the bottles to them not liking the color of the shirt they wore to a winery visit. But just because they have that right doesn't make it right.
The likely effect of removing flippers from their customer list is to be that the flipping will occur in more subtle, direct person to person transactions rather than auctions and such where the parties have more visibility.
Michael Haley — Eugene, OR — January 11, 2013 1:47pm ET
I say flip away. These cult wineries themselves are a big part of the problem. There is no way on god's green earth it costs that much more to produce their wines to justify their prices. If Merry Edwards can do such a stellar job with her Sauv Blanc year in, year out and still charge only $30 per bottle, then Screaming Eagle is darn greedy charging $250 per bottle. If someone them trumps them for their own greed and can find some stupid soul to then pay $2500 a bottle, go for it! I'd save my $1500 for the six-pack of Screaming Eagle and with the same money go buy 50 bottles of the Merry Edwards!
Michael Twelftree — Malvern, South Australia — January 11, 2013 3:54pm ET
Nice piece Robert
I believe that once the wine is sold it is the property of the owner, as with all other purchases in life. I think for a winery to dictate what a customer should do with their wine is a pretty wrong, they asked a price and somebody paid it, good for them.
I think an equally interesting question is what is fair in balancing out your cellar, you buy 24 bottles of SQN every year for 5 years, you now have 120 bottles but your only drink 6 bottles a year, you now have 90 bottles in the cellar, you want to stay on the list but want to even out your cellar, especially if you have tasted one of the bottling's and have not particularly enjoyed it. I believe mail list exhaustion is a major issue. At the end of the day the market is the market and it has to find a fair equilibrium, and if someone make a few bucks along the way good for them.
I hear stories about some of my better bottling being flipped all the time as I have the same answer every time 'I just hope they went to a better home'
Flipping does the upmost by helping wineries build and maintain their image, it also gives others access to these wines, many end up on NYC and Las Vegas wine list……..Flip away.
Tim Fish — Sonoma County — January 11, 2013 7:19pm ET
Good blog Rob
I don't know if I technically flipped a wine. But I waited in line outside Heitz's tasting room to buy a case of the 1985 Martha's Vineyard. I was splitting it with my brother and I sincerely loved it when I tasted it that day but 10 years later, its classic earth-mint quality overpowered the wine for me. My brother loved it still and kept his wines but I sold my remaining bottles at auction. I made a small profit but I would have done better on the stock market.
Eugene Kim — Houston, TX — January 12, 2013 1:04am ET
I agree with Tim. The matter is blown out of proportion, and wineries have better things to worry about - like the next vintage.
If one has the time, the patience, and the fortune of being on mailing lists that can flip for exorbitant profits, then more power to them. It seems like a tough way to earn a living.
Don Rauba — Schaumburg, IL — January 14, 2013 1:49am ET
Very interesting piece and I'm looking forward to part two. My hopes are that it shines just enough light on the subject to cause wine buyers (who would pay such inflated prices) to think twice before buying into the kind of racket reflected in the Screaming Eagle example. The biggest tragedy is that there exists a market that pays those prices at all!
By contrast, turning a modest profit on the sale of a cellared wine is something I can't find fault with. Our tastes can change; wines evolve to places we don't always appreciate; sometimes we succumb to pressure from others to part with bottles at a price. Mr. Twelftree's SQN example is also thoroughly practical, illustrating a clever way that consumers can retain club membership but reduce overall costs by selling off a portion of what they purchase. In either case, one assumes significant risk and therefore profit is definitely not guaranteed on any bottle; losses may be just as likely.
I cringe at the notion of wine as commodity: something sold/traded in futures and thought of as investments. All it does is keep great wine out of the hands, or rather, palates of those who would rather experience and enjoy it for what it is.
Troy Peterson — Burbank, CA — January 14, 2013 11:03pm ET
Nice to see a prominent vinter weighing in on the matter, Mr. Twelftree!
I enjoy my spot on various lists and want to keep my allocations. Many wineries offering highly-allocated wines force me to purchase my full allocation in this vintage (a sucky one) so that I can keep my same allocation in the next vintage (a great one). So I'm supposed to drink all that sucky wine for the privilege of getting the great wine?
How about we make those wineries buy today's sucky laptop/desktop/tablet computers so that in the future they can get the best tech that's in short supply? Oh my! That's actually an illegal practice! Just check with Intel's legal department. I've always had a problem with this practice and the fact that it only seems to be enforced by the FTC with respect to technology.
I can't tell you the number of times I have been told by a winery that I have to buy X bottles of their crap wine in order to get ONE bottle of their highly-rated wine. That's enough of an insult, but the idea that I am henceforth enjoined from selling the X bottles of a crap vintage (and all you vintners reading this know you have made crap at one time or another) on the secondary market is just insulting beyond the pale.
Ivan Campos — Ottawa — January 17, 2013 12:52am ET
Good piece, Robert.
It starts with the business model and the intended purpose of the mailing list.
if the idea is to avoid retail distribution costs, then all is fair game, and it is incumbent upon wineries to monitor these secondary markets to ensure that they are selling to the mailing list at an appropriate price. over time, prices and demand for the mailing list should even out as some people self-select out.
if the intent is to keep prices modest for fans of the wines, then wineries should add a big caveat that their products are not for resale, with consequences for those who do.

Professor Joyce Burnette's tutorial group worked at the Community Garden south of Crawfordsville.
Freshmen also assisted with several projects at the Vanity Theater in downtown Crawfordsville. Stephan Jones tapes the edges of trim in the actors' green room — which is not green .... yet! Vanity Theater photos by Brent Harris
Once all the tape was applied, Riley Pelton put the first stripes of green paint on the walls.
Keaton Douglas worked with Vanity Theater President Rolf Samuelsen to measure and cut wood for shelving in one the theater's many storage areas.
Freshman Thomas Isola climbed under the shelf to keep it level while fellow first-year Patrick Myers and Samuelsen hold both ends. Assistant Professor of Theater James Cherry started the work by securing the shelves to the main structure. Isola took over and had the honor of working with a torque drill for the first time, under the watchful eye of Dr. Cherry.
Wabash freshmen put a little muscle power to work Wednesday morning improving the Montgomery County community. The annual Freshman Orientation Day featured 245 young men serving local charities.
"We get a lot done because the students always bring a lot of energy and just sheer muscle power, but we've also learned over the years that Wabash guys are ready to work," said Habitat for Humanity President and Frist Christian Church Pastor Keith Strain. "They like serving the community."
But the 15-plus guys on site provide more than a day of muscle; Stain said many will return to help for the next four years."
"We hope, being freshmen, that they'll realize this is good work and take part in the work other Wabash students due for habitat," he said. "Some (upperclassmen) come as often as they can. Some are here every week, some bring friends or bring their houses or fraternities with them. "We really depend on students form Wabash and Purdue to build these houses."
Farther form the center of town, a group of freshmen in Economics Professor Joyce Burnette's tutorial group were harvesting vegetables and weeding the community garden.
Levi Chitty said it was a fun and beneficial day. "As students on a college campus, you take a lot from the community so it's cool to be able to come and help other people work on what they're passionate about and help them help the community."
The side benefit for the young men is even more bonding on the last day of orientation. "The guys are all cool in my group, I've gotten to know them well," Chitty said. "Now, we're all working together like a team and have really developed a relationship."
After the morning work the mostly red-clad freshmen made quite a sight in downtown Crawfordsville. Before splitting up for lunch at several downtown restaurants, Mayor Todd Barton '00 welcomed the guys to Crawfordsville.
"This is a great little community," the mayor said. "But you'll only get out of Crawfordsville what you put into Crawfordsville. Thank all of you for your service this morning."

Sleep and energy balance — What's the connection?
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
3 comments posted
Do you faithfully journal your food and exercise? Have you ever tallied calories consumed and subtracted those burned only to be left wondering why your math doesn't equate to weight loss?
What are we missing in the energy equation? The answer might be the number seven. That's the number of hours of sleep recommended by the Healthy People 2020 goals.
Both the rate of obesity and the rate of sleep deprivation have increased in the U.S. in the past 30 years. The statistics are eerily similar: More than 35 percent of adults are obese and about 30 percent get less than 6 hours sleep a night (considered "partial sleep deprivation").
It turns out that beyond the drag and irritability that accompany lack of sleep, partial sleep deprivation has potentially negative effects on how the body regulates energy. The "Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics" recently published a review of research about partial sleep deprivation and energy balance. This review found that reduced sleep may:
- Disrupt appetite hormones
- Promote greater food intake
- Reduce energy expenditure
- Change body composition to favor more fat storage
What's the take-home message? Continue your healthy diet and exercise habits, but also try to get 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night. It just might be the missing factor in the weight loss equation.
Here's to sweet dreams,

I'm a poster child for this article. I've become addicted to various things on the internet, such as Facebook (and its political divisions), C-Span, newspapers and intellectual magazines w comments (the comments are more interesting than the articles)such as The Guardian, Slate, Salon, Esquire, New Yorker, etc., improving my French and learning about international events with Radio France Internationale, and as a result spend day and night on the internet, only falling asleep for 10 minutes to an hour at a time. During this past year I've gained 30 pounds I never had before, and I don't eat much. A week ago I read an article in HuffPo about the 12 ways that lack of sleep will kill you, and I need to pay attention. It also spoke of the weight-gaining effects of lack of sleep. Aside from my sick internet addiction, I have an incurable insomnia that only afflicts me when I sleep in my own bed. If I'm in my recliner, I can fall asleep like a baby, but not for a full night's sleep. The only thing that gets me 8 sweet hours of sleep is a Dalmane pill combined with an Ambien. Too bad if that is against the 'rules', it works unfailingly, and sleep is of more value than not taking 'narcotics'. I take no other substances, not even alcohol, so I do choose my sins carefully. How to get off the internet is a more deadly problem for me than two sleeping pills.

I'd give anything to be able to sleep. I'm well aware of the connections between sleep, performance, mental and physical energy, blood pressure and metabolism. The constant reminders of what's happening to me without sleep makes me even more desperate. More medical research is profoundly needed to help those of us who want to sleep but can't - particularly the women in the 50+ crowd. Talk to your physician? Sorry, my physician has no time to talk, and no answers other than chalk it up to menopause. I am following all of the rules for good sleep hygeine - exercise early in the day, no caffiene, no alcohol, evening ritual, etc., but to no avail. I'm lucky to get a few naps at night and stumble through another day. Please Mayo Clinic - research this and come up with some real options. Thank you

Thanks so much...nothing like this information coming from an R.D. to a 65 year old with a sleep disorder who has a B.S. & M.A. from the "Home Economics" Department at NYU- now the Nutrition Department. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT was drummed into us in the 60's along with GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP, AND SAY YOUR PRAYERS. Need to loose about 10 pounds but only getting 6 hours of sleep. What fun to read your message and research to back up what we were taught! We need to hear it, read it, process it, and DO IT! INVESTING IN OUR HEALTH IS THE BEST INVESTMENT!

Does your company have in place what amounts to an "English-only" policy for employees? Yes? No?
How do we get Whole Foods to tell the whole truth?
At the very least, what we have at the trendy organic supermarket chain is a failure to communicate -- in any language.
Bryan Baldizan and Lupe Gonzales -- two employees of a Whole Foods Market in Albuquerque, New Mexico -- say that they were suspended for speaking Spanish on the job and complaining to a manager who told them, in a staff meeting, that a company policy required them to speak English.
Who would have thought? Hispanics make up a staggering 46.7% of New Mexico's population, and many of those folks have roots that run deep in the Land of Enchantment.
New Mexicans do not play games when it comes to preserving language and culture. They take their right to speak Spanish seriously. New Mexico's state constitution does not declare an official language, and it protects Spanish and American Indian languages. So you can't have English-only policies there.
But not everyone sees eye to eye.
Remember that flap in October 2009 when Larry Whitten -- an innkeeper in Taos, New Mexico -- got in hot "agua" after firing some of his employees for speaking Spanish and refusing to Anglicize their names. You know, "Juan" to "John," "Maria" to "Mary" etc.
Whitten, a Texas transplant, claimed he was only thinking about his customer. But a lot of New Mexicans thought he wasn't thinking at all.
Now, Baldizan and Gonzales got in trouble. Granted, their suspension at Whole Foods only lasted a day, and it was with pay.
So the individual employees didn't suffer much harm. But there are those who believe that the cultural traditions of the state of New Mexico took a slap in the face. This isn't the end of this. Not even close.
How did the company respond? Take your pick. It's multiple choice.
At first, Whole Foods spokeswoman Libba Letton told the Associated Press that the employees misunderstood the reason they were disciplined and that they were actually suspended for being "rude and disrespectful." In the context of employees talking to their boss, it's pretty clear that what she really meant to say was that they were "insubordinate."
Letton also told AP that the employees were never told they couldn't speak Spanish, and that there is no policy in place at the company that prohibits people from speaking a foreign language.
But the issue is not whether the company prohibits the speaking of a foreign language, but whether it requires the speaking of English. Maybe it's just semantics, or maybe it's more than semantics.
Besides, it doesn't look like Letton -- who is based in Austin -- was up to speed on what was happening on the ground in Albuquerque.
Ben Friedland, executive marketing coordinator for Whole Foods Market Rocky Mountain Region, issued a statement acknowledging that the company believes that "having a uniform form of communication is essential to a safe and efficient working environment."
Therefore, the statement said, "our policy states that all English speaking Team Members must speak English to customers and other Team Members while on the clock."
"Must speak," eh? Sounds like an English-only policy to me.
It went on: "Team Members are free to speak any language they would like during their breaks, meal periods and before and after work."
Wow. Whole Foods gives you permission to speak Spanish with family members at home before leaving for work. That's big of them.
And what if a Spanish-speaking customer wants to come in and pay too much for an organic apple? They thought of that, too.
The statement continues: "Additionally, this policy does not apply to conversations among Team Members and customers if all parties present agree that a different language is their preferred form of communication."
Then, of course, there was the PR sprinkled with PC.
"At Whole Foods Market, we take pride in the diversity of our Team Member and customer base. We recognize with this diversity comes the challenge of different languages spoken."

How Can I Prevent Further Heart Damage?In an effort to prevent further heart damage:
What Medications Should I Avoid?There are several different types of medications that are best avoided in those with heart failure including:
If you are taking any of these medications, discuss them with your doctor. It is important to know the names of your medications, what they are used for and how often and at what times you take them. Keep a list of your medications and bring them with you to each of your doctor visits. Never stop taking your medications without discussing it with your doctor.

Dennis the Menace S1 Ep01 Dennis Goes to the Movies
The live-action adaptation of the Hank Ketcham comic strip of the same name. Dennis Mitchell was a loveable young boy, dressed in overalls and carrying a slingshot in his pocket. He had but one fault: His penchant for mischief. Everywhere he went, Dennis' wide-eyed curiosity, well-meaning attempts to help out and his simply being a normal, red-blooded American boy growing up always seemed to lead to trouble. Usually on the receiving end was Dennis' next-door neighbor, retired postal carrier George Wilson. Dennis worshiped Mr. Wilson, but the gruff old man overtly displayed a less-than-cordial attitude around the young lad. Mr. Wilson's wife, Martha, adored Dennis and saw him as a surrogate grandson (since the Wilsons never had any children). Dennis' long-suffering parents were Henry (an engineer) and Alice (a stay-at-home mother). Episodes revolved around Dennis' adventures and the trouble that usually followed…
Dennis the Menace
Season 1 Ep.01: Dennis Goes to the Movies
Dennis eludes his babysitter to go to the movie that his parents are seeing.
This is the 1959 CBS live-action situation comedy based on the comic strip by Hank Ketcham. Dennis is portrayed as the helpful menace that always seemed to cause chaos. Dennis Mitchell lived at 627 Elm Street with his parents, Henry and Alice. Next door was his best friend, Mr. Wilson (though the feeling was, certainly, not mutual). Dennis always was around to help Mr. Wilson whether he wanted the help or not. The allure of the series was to see how Dennis would unintentionally mess things up for Mr. Wilson.
The series lasted four seasons, but, perhaps, could have lasted longer. Joseph Kearns, the actor who portrayed Mr. George Wilson, died during the show's third season. This left a huge void that even veteran actor Gale Gordon (Mr. John Wilson) couldn't fill. He was introduced toward the end of the third season, and the series was cancelled the following year.
Cast and Crew:

Crossing Borders LIVE
Scroll down for current listing!
.......WVBRs Crossing Borders Radio Concert Series and the City of Ithaca present the First Annual Cinco de Mayo Community Celebration on
Saturday, May 5th,
featuring a dance festival with Alex Torres and his Latin Orchestra from
7 to 11pm at CSMA
(Community School of Music and Arts) in the Third floor performance space. Dance workshops preceding the main event include a merengue workshop with Jorge Cuevas at 1pm, and a salsa dance lesson with Kurt Lichtmann at 7pm. Crossing Borders LIVE will broadcast the orchestra performance simultaneously on 93.5FM beginning at 8PM and can be heard online at wvbr.com or
The Mexican holiday celebration is partially supported by the Tompkins County Tourism Program, the Community Arts Partnership, and the Cornell Latin American Students Program, and organized by Crossing Borders volunteers. The event is free and open to the public, though individual donations and raffle sales will be encouraged to meet expenses. Mexican cuisine refreshments will also be available for purchase.
Alex Torres y su orquestra, formed in 1980 and based in Amsterdam, New York, has acquired a huge fan base throughout the state since the first of eight CDs, Noche Habanera, was released in 1995. The band has been producing a new CD coming out almost yearly ever since. The most recent Cd, 25 to Life, has sparked energetic reviews and intense performance demands.
Led by the Bronx-born bassist Alex Torres, the 13 piece orchestra plays over 100 shows per year performing popular Afro-Caribbean rhythms such as Salsa, Merengue, Cha-cha, Bomba, Plena and Latin Jazz. They have been the recipients of numerous awards including the Albany Schenectady League of Arts Award, The Governors Excellence in Arts Award, The NAACP Albany Chapter Award, Metro land Magazines Best Of Award for seven consecutive years, New York State Music Achievement Award and the New England Cultural Arts Preservation Award.
Alex Torres & His Latin Orchestra have performed for President and Hillary Clinton at the New York State Democratic Convention and also for New York Governor George Patakis Inauguration. They recently played Governor Spitzers Inaugural Ball as well. They have shared the stage with Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, Los Hermanos Moreno, Arturo Sandoval, Luis Perico Ortiz, Ray Barretto, Jane Burnette & the Spirits of Havana, Larry Harlowe, Tito Nieves, Jerry Gónzalez & The Fort Apache Band, King Changó, The Count Basie and Woody Herman Orchestras. The band is also registered with the Arts-In-Education Program in New York State; members of the band participate in school programs to showcase and explain the music and the instruments and rhythms associated with it. Additionally, the group taped a full length television commercial for The Albany Times Union Newspaper and performed their original music for the PBS weekly program Just Down The Road. See review excerpts below of performances by Alex Torres y su orquestra. The artist website is:
Prior to the orchestra performance, a salsa class lesson will be conducted at 7 pm by Kurt Lichtmann and partner. The dance lesson will incorporate some important background on the African and Hispanic roots of the music and dance, and the dance portion will include some modern lady's styling and lead-follow technique, not just steps! Since the orchestra repertoire is heavy on salsa, the dance lesson will focus on salsa, but will also include a 2 minute demo of salsa merengue, and bachata at the start so participants can see and hear the difference. Lichtmann is a member of the Tompkins County Latino Civic Association. A graduate of Ithaca College's Masters Program in Music Education, he teaches dance at Cornell, and downtown at Island Health and Fitness. He is a huge fan of latin music and dance. His dance website is
Earlier in the day, a merengue workshop is offered at 1 pm by Jorge Cuevas. Known as front man and leader of various ensembles including the Caribe Jazz All Stars, the 9 piece latin band Rising Sign, and Jorges Percussion Ensemble, Cuevas has been teaching percussion and dance workshops since 1989. He is known also for video productions and as a DJ.
The festivities, while spotlighting Caribbean rhythms this year, are intended to launch a yearly opportunity to explore Latin musical culture via the popular Mexican holiday, Cinco de Mayo, which is celebrated extensively throughout North America. Crossing Borders is committed to making live quality multicultural music accessible to an entire community. The First Annual Cinco de Mayo Community Celebration is an example of that commitment.

Below, see review quotes of performances by Alex Torres and his Latin Orchestra:
.They play like sunlight bursting through rain clouds.
- Schenectady Gazette
I have never seen an act that so accurately reflects a cultures music and yet targets a mainstream audience, combining education with exciting entertainment.- The Chronicle
.their masterful performance is a testament both to the burgeoning popularity of the music and to the indomitable skills of the band.
The Post-Star
when the concert ended and the musicians began to stow their instruments, the audience arose and began a gradual sound that turned into a tidal more, more! Springfield Recorder
the moment I will cherish most was watching people of all cultures and colors dancing, transfixed by the Latin rhythms of Alex Torres & the Latin Kings. BLUESprint
they deserved, in every conceivable way, the screaming standing ovation they received at the close of their set this isnt a band or a record, its a mission. Metroland Magazine

From Alan Rose ...
I'm playing Crossing Borders this Saturday, August 18. It'll be a
roughly one hour sometime between 8 and 10 PM at Pancho Villa on
Meadow St. I'm splitting the bill with teen jazz sensations
Supernatural (Chad Lefkowitz-Brown on Sax, Christian Li on Piano,
Walter Stimson on Bass, and Russ Sternglass on Drums). I'll be solo
for the first time in a while. It's the first Crossing Borders show
in this venue. It should be going out live over WVBR (93.5 FM or
listen live via the web:
), assuming the ISDN line was
hooked up properly. If not, it will air at a later date. There's
probably a small cover charge. Sorry for the short notice on this
one, but the details just came together.

Ithaca.WVBR's live radio broadcast concert series, 'Crossing Borders' teams up with the City of Ithaca, the Coddington Guest House, and the Carriage House Cafe Hayloft to present two special events featuring the Shoghaken Armenian Folk Ensemble as part of the 2008 US Tour. The world acclaimed ensemble of Armenia's foremost musicians and vocalists will appear twice:

His solo recording was singled out for the AFIM "Best World Music Cd and the Year" award in 1997, and the group's 2003 Cd, Armenia Anthology, (Traditional Crossroads label) won the NARM Award for Best World Music Recording of the year. Shoghaken has performed extensively throughout Europe, Armenia and the former Soviet Union and recorded for the soundtrack of Atom Egoyan's film, Ararat.

Alash Ensemble and the Evil City String Band
Tuvan Throat Singing meets Old Time Americana
Friday, March 27, 2009
8:00pm - 11:55pm
Lost Dog Lounge
Tickets: $15 advance
Ithaca, NY
One Night Only!
seating is limited...advance tickets are available
Alash (recently featured on Bela Fleck and the Flecktones holiday release) meets Ithaca's own Evil City String Band.... what more is there to say.....
Join us for this unique collaboration featuring solos, duets, Evil City set, Alash set and combined works.
Aside from having these two groups in your own living room, this is the next best thing!
ALASH are masters of Tuvan throat singing
(xöömei), a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. One can find
complex harmonies, western instruments, and
contemporary song forms in Alashs music, but its
overall sound and spirit is decidedly Tuvan.
Alash appeared as guest artists on a new CD by Grammy winning Béla Fleck & the Flecktones ("Jingle All the Way," released fall of 2008), and are fresh off of a fall tour with the Flecktones to support that collaboration.
Evil City String Band:
from their earliest incarnation on the east texas carnival circuit to their current residence in the brackish backwaters of the empire state, the wounded yelp of ECT has spread its bastard seed far and wide, shakin em down with high rollers and confederate war brides alike... like a midget butler with an axe to grind, their performance comes without apologies, injecting ragged honkey hymns with qualudes and grease paint..
pass the word and come on out.

Howie "Bulldog" Kleinberg got his nickname from the bold attitude he projected as a contestant on TV's Top Chef. He fell in love with barbeque after spending summers in North Carolina as a boy. Now Kleinberg is cooking up hunks of meat at his very own BBQ restaurant—along with this southern comfort shrimp dish. It's a classic "shrimp and grits" with a kick of Bulldog's Best barbecue sauce and white cheddar cheese.
1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 oz. extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 oz. Bulldog's Best barbecue sauce (or favorite of the house)
2 oz. chopped garlic, divided
2 oz. chopped shallots, divided
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup hominy grits
2 oz. white wine
4 oz. diced tomatoes
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 oz. heavy cream
1 oz. butter
3 oz. white cheddar cheese, shredded
1 oz. chopped parsley
4 oz. sliced scallions
