Manuel Castillo, a barber of 62 years, will retire when his shop on Ninth Avenue in Chelsea closes soon in order to make room for a bigger tenant in his building. NY1's Roger Clark filed this report.
Over 62 years of cutting hair, Manuel Castillo says his conversations with customers have run the gamut.
"Medicine, history, baseball, football, basketball, women, politics," he said. "Everything, yes, everything."
The 80-year-old, known to friends as "Manolo," is retiring when his shop on Ninth Avenue between 17th and 18th Streets closes, one of several stores shutting down to clear the way for a bigger tenant in the building.
"I say my philosophy, the thing happens because it has to happen," he said. "You can do nothing, but I'm ready, I'm ready."
Castillo came from Cuba in 1958. He opened his first shop in the '60s and moved to Ninth Avenue in 1995. It's a trip back in time with its photos of Marilyn Monroe, Muhammad Ali and Castillo himself with friends and customers from over the years.
One of those customers is Angel Delgado, who isn't quite sure what he will do for hair cuts after thirty five years in Castillo's barber chair.
"We'll have to try and see where we can go that's as good as he is," Delgado said through an interpreter.
The impending closure has Castillo's business partner, William Mercado, wondering about his future as well. He's not ready to retire just yet.
"This is like a family," he said. "Believe me, it's very, very sad. This hurts, because too many years, too many memories here."
Castillo says he is not bitter but he can't help but be a little upset about the changing of a neighborhood he has either lived or worked in for 52 years.
"I blame the landlord but I blame the politicians too, because they no try to do something to protect small business," he said. "They want to convert Manhattan into Monaco, rich and famous. In five more years, no working people can live in this neighborhood. In five more, maybe less."
As for retirement, Castillo doesn't have a solid plan yet.
"Maybe I learn now the computer, you know, keep busy my mind," he said.

City Working on New On-Street Parking Plans Around the Ballpark, in Southwest, and on Capitol Hill
There has been much discussion by residents and city officials over the impending "apocalypse" of
traffic and parking
congestion with the opening in April of the
new ballpark
. Residents not only in Near Southeast (all 400 of you) but in Southwest and on Capitol Hill have been waiting for the city to announce exactly how on-street parking will be handled during games, as there is great concern as to whether residents will still be able to park on their streets and won't have to deal with hundreds or thousands of cars circling the neighborhoods looking for free parking.
It's been thought that the model used at RFK--special parking permit stickers for residents to put on their cars--would be ported over to the new ballpark area, but over the past few months council member Tommy Wells and his staff, along with DDOT, have been working on a pilot plan they hope could address not only the parking issues at the ballpark but also the parking problems seen on Capitol Hill along Pennsylvania Avenue, Barracks Row (Eighth Street), and the streets around Eastern Market. They are looking for ways to balance the needs of residents with the impact on businesses if parking is hard to come by, and are looking at a concept called "Performance Parking." Here's my five-cent summary:
"Retail" streets would have the hours of metered parking extended to seven days a week until late in the evening, and with the prices to park at the meters raised to a level that would discourage some people from arriving by car, opening up more spaces and reducing double-parking and congestion. The adjacent residential streets, now covered by Zone 6 parking rules that ostensibly only allow two hours of visitor parking during weekdays (but are dependent on the parking enforcement folks tracking the cars to know how long they've been there) would see the installation of meter kioskson one side of the street, where nonresidents could park for no more than two hours even until late in the evening and on weekends. (Residents could park on both sides of the street as long as they want.)
These rules would extend with slight tweaks to the streets around the ballpark: "Retail" streets in these areas would allow longer stretches of parking (four-plus hours), but would have rates for metered parking comparable to the amount charged in pay lots, to discourage ballpark-goers from believing that on-street parking would be any cheaper than what's available in existing lots and garages. And with the residential streets having meters that wouldn't allow parking for longer than two hours, most people going to three-hour-plus baseball games would avoid parking on those blocks.
In other words, these restrictions would tell visitors--park in a lot, or take Metro, or walk, or ride your bike, but don't expect to drive down and find a space for free on a street somewhere.
One other facet of this plan would be to use the revenue from these much higher on-street parking rates to pay the cost of the new kiosk-type meters (that cost about $7,800 a pop), the cost of the extra enforcement needed to make the plan work, and also improvements to the streets and the communities to make alternative modes of transportation more enticing (fixing sidewalks, adding bike racks, making bus shelters better, etc.).
This plan has been previewed for local businesses and the ANCs (today it was the media's turn), and it's hoped that a bill creating this special pilot project can start its path through the city council process in early January. Alas, this would not be enough lead time to get it all in place before Opening Day, so there will probably be some tumult during the early part of the season as the city tries to keep stadium visitors from taking over the residential neighborhoods.
You'll no doubt be reading much more about this idea over the coming months, and there will be public meetings and refinements and many words written about it all, I'm sure. And of course one other piece of the puzzle--the
locations of the various lots
where the Nationals will be directing season-ticket holders to park--has yet to be made public. Eventually Wells's office will release maps (perhaps soon) showing the streets that could be designated as retail or residential, along with other documents providing far more detail than what I've previewed here.
In the meantime, I'm going to do something I've never done in the nearly five years that I've been running this Near Southeast site--I'm going to
open up the floor to comments
about this idea, that then hopefully can be read by city officials and other residents to see what people's impressions are of the plans. But be forewarned, if this little low-tech experiment goes off the rails and people start getting out of control, I'll close it down and won't be inclined to give it another shot. So behave. Of course, you'll be commenting on something you probably need to learn much more about to truly be informed, but when does that ever stop anyone on the internet?
a story from the Post
on Wells's parking plan. " 'The ballpark visitors are going to be very tempted to look for cheap parking' on city streets, said Neha Bhatt, a planner in Wells's office. 'We've got to get that out of people's head that free parking exists here.' " The story also reminds me to mention that plans are to make Buzzards Point off-limits to on-street parking during ballgames (though it's likely some cash lots will be built there).
Also, there's going to be an Committee on Economic Development
oversight roundtable
on "Parking and Traffic Plan for the Nationals' Stadium" on Jan. 11 at 10 am. (It was originally scheduled for this Monday, the 17th, but they felt like there hadn't been enough public notice. I'll say--I hadn't even heard about it!)

Nationals March 30 Home Opener Approved?
Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting
that the long-rumored debut of Nationals Park on the special March 30 ESPN Sunday night season opening broadcast has gotten its last batch of approvals (from the players association) and is now a "go." (No official confirmation yet.)
Post is reporting
that this is a done deal as well, though still without confirmation from MLB.

OPM Director Etzkorn Apparently Booted
So, I'm scanning this
late-Friday-afternoon press release
from the Mayor's office about a new location for the MPD evidence warehouse (a location so secure they won't actually say where it's going to be). The warehouse was one of the functions that was supposed to go into
225 Virginia Ave.
, and reading this took me back to some of
earlier this year where Office of Property Management director Lars Etzkorn tangled with council members when first defending the plan to move MPD there and then when defending the decision
not to move
MPD there (the exchanges
described here
are my favorites).
So imagine my surprise when reading the end of the warehouse press release: "At the same property news conference, the Mayor introduced Robin-Eve Jasper as the
new interim director
of the city's Office of Property Management. The former director, Lars Etzkorn will be nominated to a full-time position on the Contract Appeals Board." Perhaps his absence from the
October hearing
on MPD space needs and
November's announcement
of the city's plan to get rid of the 225 Virginia lease spoke more than I realized at the time. He did testify just yesterday in front of the city council, with no mention
in his remarks
that he'd be leaving his post.

Updated Florida Rock Renderings
I've received two new renderings of
RiverFront on the Anacostia
, the 5.8-acre mixed-use development planned for the Florida Rock site that sits on the Anacostia River just south of the ballpark. There's a view from the river showing the four buildings that make up the project (two office buildings, one residential, and one hotel), and a detailed view from Potomac Avenue and First Street showing the eastern office building (which would be the first building under construction) and the others along Potomac Avenue that would face the ballpark. The developers will be having a hearing in front of the Zoning Commission sometime within the next few months to get this latest iteration of the design approved; once that process is complete, construction could begin. The entire project will take a number of years to complete. As for the question most often asked--when will the concrete business still operating on the site be shut down?--my learned answer is: I don't know.
Take a look at my
RiverFront page
for much more detail on the current design for the site, which also includes a public plaza at the eastern end of the site that will abut
Diamond Teague Park
(and that helps to give unobstructed views of the river from the
's grand staircase). The planned Anacostia Riverwalk runs all along the site's south side, with a promenade area no less than 75 feet wide (and with separate bike and pedestrian paths). There's also "Potomac Quay", a glass-enclosed retail walk running between the eastern office building and the residential building and a huge water feature at the "Piazza Cascade", tieing together the three western buildings of the project. And, for a look at some of the long and winding road that this project has traversed over the years, scan the
news items
I've posted.

Pericom Semiconductor CEO Discusses F1Q2011 Results – Earnings Call Transcript
Consolidated non-GAAP gross profit was $15.1 million for Q1 compared with $15.4 million last quarter and $10.6 million last year. Non-GAAP gross margin for the first quarter was 35.3% and was 170 basis points lower than last quarter's 37% and 300 basis points higher than last year's 32.3%. The sequential quarter gross margin decline was primarily due to product mix and unfavorable absorption from lower production volume related to FCP.
Non-GAAP operating expenses were $10.3 million for Q1 compared with $10.8 million last quarter and $10 million last year. The Q1 expenses were sequentially lower by 0.5 million due to Q4 including one extra week of expenses. Q1 operating income on a non-GAAP basis was $4.8 million or 11% of revenue compared with $4.5 million or 11% of revenue last quarter and $0.7 million or 2% of revenue for the same period last year.
Interest and other income for Q1 was $1 million compared with $1.1 million last quarter. The $0.1 million sequential quarter decrease was due to currency exchange losses. Income from our own consolidated affiliates, PTI and JCP, was $0.6 million for Q1 compared with $0.8 million last quarter. The sequential quarter decrease was due to Q1 including only two months of PTI income whereas Q4 was a full quarter.
Income before tax was $5.8 million on a non-GAAP basis for the first quarter compared with $5.6 million last quarter and $2.3 million last year. On a non-GAAP basis, the effective tax rate was 35% for Q1 compared with 28% last quarter and 32% for the same period last year. The Q1 sequential tax rate increase was due to the mix of income by jurisdiction and also last quarter included year-end true ups. As we go forward, we expect the tax rate to be in the range of 33% to 34%.Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

Building bridges: Tutorial, Linked Data for Language Technologies at LREC 2014 Conference #LiderEU
Under the umbrella of the Lider project and the MutilingualWeb community, the tutorial on Linked Data for Language Technologies aims at building bridges between two communities. Experts in language resources and applications will learn how to work with technical building blocks of linked data (RDF, SPARQL, …); how to build linked data lexicon representations using the LEMON model; and how to integrate natural language processing workflows using the RDF NIF format. The tutorial is part of the LREC 2014 conference. The presenters are key participants in the LIDER projects and in W3C community groups like OntoLex, Best Practices for Multilingual Linked Open Data, and Linked Data for Language Technology.
ITS 2.0 for everybody – the ITS 2.0 promotion video is now online
Several participants of the ITS Interest Group have created a video to promote ITS 2.0. The video explains usage scenarios for ITS 2.0 and also explains benefits in easy terms for a non-technical audience. It will be the main video of the ITS 2.0 video channel. In the next weeks further videos will be added, to showcase ITS 2.0 implementations in various usage scenarios.

For review: Update to What you need to know about the bidi algorithm and inline markup
An updated version of What you need to know about the bidi algorithm and inline markup is out for wide review. We are looking for comments over the next two weeks. After the review period is over, this content will be copied to the same location as the current version of What you need to know about the bidi algorithm and inline markup and the URL of the updated version will cease to exist.
The update rewrites the article to reflect the recent changes in bidi markup in the HTML5 specification.
Technically speaking, the main change is that the
dir attribute now isolates text by default with respect to the bidi algorithm. Isolation as a default is the recommendation of the Unicode Standard as of version 6.3.
From a less technical point of view, the main advantages to the update are that the new methods introduced here reduce the need to use a new approach when the direction of content is known, and therefore makes for a much simpler transition for both content authors and browser developers to support the advances in the handling of bidirectional text content. At the same time, these approaches have good results for existing legacy content.

Linked Data for Language Technology (LD4LT) Group Kick-Off Meeting and Roadmap meeting, 21 March, Athens, Greece
Linked Data (LD) has proven beneficial in many new and unforeseen ways for Language Technology (LT) and the newly gained interoperability and availability of LT data and services is currently receiving industry adoption. With the foundation of the LD4LT W3C community group, we would like to start the discussion and analyse current trends as well as offer a crystallization point to coordinate the development of future LD-based LT applications. See the agenda.
All feedback is welcome and participation is open to all interested organisations and individuals from industry and academia.
The LD4LT Group Kick-Off and Roadmap Meeting is supported by the LIDER project, the MultilingualWeb community, the NLP2RDF project, the Working Group for Open Data in Linguistics as well as the DBpedia Project.
The event will take place 21 March in Athens, aligned with the European Data Forum 2014. Participation in the LD4LT meeting is free, but registration is required.
As input to the discussion and the work of the LD4LT group, you may consider to fill in the first LIDER survey. During the kick-off meeting, via the survey and in the LD4LT group, provide your view on how linked data and language technology should benefit each other.
W3C MultilingualWeb Workshop Announced: New Horizons for the Multilingual Web
To be held 7-8 May 2014 in Madrid, Spain, W3C announced today the seventh MultilingualWeb workshop in a series of events exploring the mechanisms and processes needed to ensure that the World Wide Web lives up to its potential around the world and across barriers of language and culture.
This workshop is made possible by the generous support of the LIDER project. As part of the event, LIDER will organize a roadmapping workshop on linked data and content analytics.
Anyone may attend all sessions at no charge and the W3C welcomes participation by both speakers and non-speaking attendees. Early registration is encouraged due to limited space.
Building on the success of six highly regarded previous workshops, this workshop will emphasize new technology developments that lead to new opportunities for the Multilingual Web. The workshop brings together participants interested in the best practices and standards needed to help content creators, localizers, language tools developers, and others meet the challenges of the multilingual Web. It provides further opportunities for networking across communities. We are particularly interested in speakers who can demonstrate novel solutions for reaching out to a global, multilingual audience.

ITS 2.0 is a W3C Recommendation!
The MultilingualWeb-LT Working Group has published a W3C Recommendation of Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) Version 2.0.
ITS 2.0 provides a foundation for integrating automated processing of human language into core Web technologies. ITS 2.0 bears many commonalities with its predecessor, ITS 1.0, but provides additional concepts that are designed to foster the automated creation and processing of multilingual Web content.
Work on application scenarios for ITS 2.0 and gathering of usage and implementation experience will now take place in the ITS Interest Group.
New Working Group Note: Use Cases and Exploratory Approaches for Ruby Markup Note
The Internationalization Working Group has published a Group Note, Use Cases & Exploratory Approaches for Ruby Markup.
This document was designed to support discussion about what is needed in the HTML5 specification, and possibly other markup vocabularies, to adequately support ruby markup. It describes a number of use cases associated with ruby usage, and then examines a number of possible ruby markup approaches for each use case, listing pros and cons for each approach.

Funds that have invested $5.6 billion in Norway's gas pipelines escalated their fight to keep their tariffs intact, pleading with the prime minister to intervene in a plan to slash shipment costs by 90 percent.
The investors, owned by Canadian pension funds, Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund, Allianz SE and a UBS AG infrastructure fund, appealed in a letter to Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's chief of staff, saying the proposal risks damaging Norway's reputation. The letter was obtained by Bloomberg through a freedom of information request.
The companies have demanded a meeting to appeal the January plan by the Petroleum and Energy Ministry. They own 44 percent of the gas pipeline network, buying stakes for about 32 billion kroner ($5.6 billion) from producers such as Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Statoil ASA (STL), Total SA and Eni SpA. Norway is western Europe's largest gas producer.
"We obviously wouldn't have invested in Gassled in 2010/2011 if we had reason to believe the ministry would cut tariffs by 90 percent," said Trygve Pedersen, chief executive officer of Solveig Gas Norway AS, said in the letter to Karl- Eirik Schjoett-Pedersen. "There's reason to be concerned about how international investors will judge Norway if it appears investments in Norway can no longer be based on the same trust as before."
Fallout Spreads
The companies say the proposal to cut tariffs on gas volumes booked after May 1 could lower expected returns by 50 percent. The hearing period on the proposal ends on March 15, after which the ministry will decide.
A spokesman for Norway's prime minister, Hans Kristian Amundsen, said the matter was being handled by the Petroleum Ministry and declined to comment.
The ministry has argued the cuts will help make natural-gas discoveries more profitable and boost exploration and recovery rates, saying higher-than-expected returns based on existing and past contracts would offset lower income and preserve "reasonable" real pretax returns of 7 percent.
Other investors include Infragas Norge AS and Njord Gas Infrastructure AS and Silex Gas Norway AS. Solveig is owned by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, Allianz Capital Partners, a subsidiary of Allianz SE, and Infinity Investments SA, a unit of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. Infragas is a unit of Canada's Public Sector Pension Investment Board while Silex is owned by Allianz. Njord is a subsidiary of UBS International Infrastructure Fund and CDC Infrastructure SA.
Standard & Poor's placed Solveig and Njord on negative watch in January, while Solveig was placed on review for a downgrade by Moody's Investors Service in February.
"We consider the matter to be so serious that we would like to explain why we are reacting so strongly," Knud Noerve, chief executive officer of Infragas, said today in a phone interview from Oslo. "It may have wide-ranging effects that go beyond oil and gas."

WASHINGTON - The documents suggest that the top two officials at the C.I.A. disagreed about how many details the administration should disclose about the agencys view of who carried out the attacks and its earlier warnings about terrorist threats in the region.
In a copy of a draft memo released by the White House, Michael J. Morrell, the agencys deputy director, crossed out five sentences from the talking points that described the agencys warnings about threats from Islamic extremists. State Department officials also strongly urged that the warnings be left out, according to the e-mails.
The C.I.A. director at the time, David H. Petraeus, evidently disagreed with his deputy and believed that the warnings should be made public. Frankly, Id just as soon not use this, then Mr. Petraeus wrote in an e-mail to colleagues, referring to a version of the talking points that excluded the warnings.
The version the administration used in the days after the attacks, primarily by Susan E. Rice, the ambassador to the United Nations, did not include suspicions about the involvement of a Libyan militant group with ties to Al Qaeda. State Department officials objected to the inclusion of that information.
The administration has since acknowledged the involvement of Ansar al-Shariah, an extremist group with Qaeda ties. The White House released the e-mails to reporters after Republicans seized on snippets of the correspondence that became public last Friday to suggest that President Obamas White House staff had taken an active role in altering the talking points.
In releasing them, White House officials were hoping to show that intelligence officials, not political advisers, drove the debate over the talking points.
It remained unclear why Mr. Morrell objected to the inclusion of the warnings and whether his objections or the State Departments played the dominant role in having them removed.
After the release, Brendan Buck, a spokesman for Speaker John A. Boehner, criticized what he called the political nature of the State Departments requested changes.
This release is long overdue, and there are relevant documents the administration has still refused to produce, Mr. Buck said. We hope, however, that this limited release of documents is a sign of more cooperation to come.
Democrats including some of Mr. Obamas former top aides said Wednesday morning that the administration would have to release all of the e-mails in an effort to prove that the president had nothing to hide.
I think they would benefit from getting all these e-mails out in public, David Axelrod, a former senior adviser, said on MSNBCs Morning Joe program.
During a brief news conference on Monday, Mr. Obama dismissed the Republican inquiry into the Benghazi aftermath as a sideshow and said there was nothing to the accusations of a cover-up.
Suddenly, three days ago, the president told reporters, this gets spun up as if theres something new to the story. Theres no there there.

Streamflow is expected to decrease in many temperate river basins as global temperature increases. The greatest decreases are expected in areas that are currently arid or semi-arid. Most models project decreases in the southwest United States, while slight increases are projected in the northeast and northwest. There is strong agreement among models that runoff in the Arctic and other high-latitude areas, including Alaska, will increase. The greatest decreases per degree within the United States are projected for the Rio Grande Basin (about 12% per degree) and increases of about 9% per degree are expected in Alaska; see Figure O.2. Thus, warming of a few degrees can be expected to lead to large perturbations to water resources, especially in the southwestern and southern parts of the United States, many of which are already facing water resources challenges due to growing population and environmental issues. {5.3}
Extreme temperatures are expected to increase in a warmer world. For example, for about 3ºC of global warming, 9 out of 10 Northern Hemisphere summers are projected to be "exceptionally warm" in nearly all land areas, and every summer is projected to be "exceptionally warm" in nearly all land areas for about 4ºC, where an "exceptionally warm" summer is defined as one that is warmer than all but about 1 of the 20 summers in the last decades of the 20th century. A complete review of the many studies evaluating changes in extremes in various regions is beyond the scope of the present study. Here we use as an illustrative example the effect of warming on seasonal extremes, based on a simple shift in the distribution of temperatures, using pattern scaling. Some studies have indicated the possibility that the variance of the distribution of temperature will increase, especially in regions that are projected to become drier (e.g., the Mediterranean basin), further enhancing the chances of extreme seasonal temperatures beyond that estimated here (see Figure O.3). {4.5}
Extreme precipitateon (heaviest 15% of daily rainfall) is likely to increase by about 3-10% per degree C as the atmospheric water vapor content increases in a warming climate, with changes likely to be greater

I've searched in a few places, and it may just be my wording, but I can't find anything telling me exactly what I want to know. So forgive me if this has been asked before! I am mostly curious if running on Mountain Lion, my desktop will still have it's temperature safety features? I know Windows machines use the BIOS for fan controls right? So if I was in Windows 7, and the temps ever got too hot, the machine would shut itself off before causing damage? If I understand right, real macs use SMC for this?
I never really checked my temps running under Windows. I could always hear the fans kick up if I ever did anything really processor/graphics intensive, so I just never thought about it. But I've noticed under OS X, my machine never turns the fans up at all really. I've attached a photo of what my temps are under normal circumstances/idle. But every once in a while when I do something fairly intensive, the temps shoot up very high, and the fans never seem to change speed.
So what I am wondering, is if first of all, should they ever get dangerously high on the processor or graphics card, will the normal safeguards keep things from getting damaged? And second, is there something I can do to make it so that the fans come on as they should? I've read about people working on the DSDT but I don't have one (or at least if all hacks have one, I never modified it) so I am not sure how to proceed. Thanks!

Can Hospitals Break Even with Medicare?
Qualify for a free subscription to HealthLeaders magazine.
But it isn't totally about costs. There's room for improvement on the revenue side, though it isn't as easy to control. Part of Floyd Medical Center's success with Medicare is because of the add-on disproportionate-share payments the hospital receives for serving a low-income population, says Rick Sheerin, CFO of the 304-staffed-bed not-for-profit community hospital. A provision in this year's healthcare reform legislation could cut into those payments.
There has also been an effort in recent years, however, to grow successful service lines---those built around procedures with higher-margin Medicare reimbursements---that will offset a portion of costs, he says. The hospital has seen a boost from newly added cardiology services, for instance. Even though reimbursements for some cardiology procedures are on the decline, it is on the whole a high-margin, highly reimbursed service line.
Looking at Medicare reimbursement from the perspective of service lines has its advantages on the cost side, too. Todd Hofheins, CFO of Providence Regional Medical Center, a 372-bed hospital in Everett, WA, says dissecting the Medicare population by service line makes it easier to address utilization and supply management. For instance, he has worked with the orthopedic and total joint service lines to rein in supply costs by negotiating with vendors in an attempt to make the procedure itself more profitable.
"Medicare pushes 40% of our payer mix, so for us it's pretty important to really manage the Medicare costs of our business," he says. "One of the things we do is through our costing system, break the Medicare population into service lines, break those into diagnoses and procedures, and really get into the cost components of it."
Providence Regional Medical Center isn't making money on Medicare overall, but it has reached the break-even point in several key areas and generally hovers near the break-even point.
The forecast
The challenge of running a hospital with Medicare reimbursements is only going to grow. The Medicare trust fund is expected to be exhausted by 2029, barring any changes. The program is becoming a national financial burden and will need to be reined in to survive, which means it is possible that Medicare reimbursement levels are near their inflation-adjusted peak, for a while. In the HealthLeaders Media Industry Survey 2010, 90.4% of CFOs rated Medicare reimbursement as having primary importance to their revenue stream in the next three years. It was rated higher than any other factor.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Todd (12/20/2010 at 5:06 PM)
I have to agree with Steven Watkins. Why would the government continue to pay facilities above break even? A facility showing it can effectively get cost out will just further show the government that it makes sense to cut reimbursement. In the future, look for fully public (Medicare and Medicaid) facilities and fully private facilities to provide care.
Insight 101 (12/16/2010 at 12:43 PM)
It's not a given that hospitals have to lose money on medicare. One commenter noted they often can't truly identify if they are losing money by the payer in the truest sense of the concept. I work for an large MA only company and we believe hosptials could become more profitable with us if they become more engaged. There is so much opportunity to improve they just tend to have no interest. I can't frankly explain the reticence but it's real and unfortunate.
Steven Watkins (12/15/2010 at 2:19 PM)
The answer is, "No". Hospitals cannot make money on Medicare(or Medicaid) only. As soon as hospitals reduce costs, Medicare reduces reimbursement...so it's a never-ending cycle. In fact, facilities operating with 70% Medicare and Medicaid (without dipping into a mega-foundation) would be hard-pressed to demonstrate high quality and patient satisfaction scores today. In response to Obamacare, we'll soon see "Medicare Only" facilities and "Private Only" facilities in the same communities.

Race information
The annual Race for the Cure is Sept. 26 at Fashion Island from 6:30 a.m.-noon. Last year, about 30,000 participants, including 1,700 breast cancer survivors, raised $2.8 million. For a complete schedule, visit komenoc.org/race or call 714-957-9157
Geraldine Watts used to perform her monthly breast self-exams in the shower or in front of her bedroom mirror while getting dressed in the morning.
But after becoming homeless last year, she sometimes resorted to bathing with soap and paper towels in a Del Taco bathroom. Her only mirror was on the sun visor of the car where she slept.
Still, one day in March, while sitting in the front seat of her boyfriend's beat-up Ford Taurus, Watts checked her breasts.
"It just stuck with me to do it," Watts said. "No matter where you are, you can do it."
She felt a lump, and two weeks later, the fear that comes with a diagnosis of breast cancer.
Watts was accustomed to fending for herself on the streets, but found she wasn't alone in fighting her disease, thanks in part to the thousands of Orange County residents who raise money for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
The Sept. 26 race at Fashion Island will fund an array of community nonprofits helping women of all backgrounds face the physical, emotional and financial challenges of breast cancer.
But few encounter as much adversity as homeless women like Watts.
They can also be the hardest to help.
Sick and homeless
When Watts discovered the lump, she went to a Santa Ana emergency room, hoping to put her mind at ease.
"It got me frightened so bad I couldn't stop thinking about it."
She was directed to see a primary-care doctor covered by her MSI – or Medical Services Initiative, the county's safety-net coverage for the indigent. That doctor referred her for a mammogram at St. Joseph Hospital in Orange.
On a chilly, rainy day, Watts arrived looking gaunt and nervous. She weighed only 83 pounds at 5 feet, 3 inches. Watts ate saltines available in the waiting room and explained to medical staff that she was homeless. She had a cell phone but could only receive messages, not send them or make calls.
Barbara Ginesi, a patient care advocate, collected food from the lunches of her colleagues, plus a blanket, cash and a gift card for Watts.

Undated---Who knew Florida State players could win an SEC Championship!
Actually they can't. As we all know FSU plays in the ACC. Somebody at one of the big ring companies though didn't know that. FSU offensive lineman Menelik Watson, recently drafted by the Raiders, tweeted out the following Wednesday night:
"Just got my Championship rings. Apparently I'm the only player in FSU history to win an SEC Championship! #Legendary."
A close look at his title ring shows the correct ACC title game opponent and final score, but above it, it reads "SEC Champions"
At first many believed the picture to be a fake, but Watson, through a text, responded to the Orlando Sentinel that it's legit.
FSU football's twitter account confirmed that saying it appears his ring was a "isolated mistake," and ":Watson will soon be receiving a new ring."
The school also saying that was the only "defective" ring sent out. Wonder if Menelik gets to keep it?

Protiviti's Internal Audit Survey Finds Lack Of Social Media Policy And Process Plaguing Organizations With Unnecessary Risks
Other Key Survey Findings
- Continuous auditing was the top priority in terms of audit process knowledge in 2011 and 2012, but dropped down to #18 in the 2013 rankings.
- For audit process knowledge, auditing IT – new technologies was the third highest needs-improvement priority, and scored significantly lower than any other area evaluated with regard to existing competency.
- Concerns among chief audit executives were generally aligned with the broader sampling of respondents. However, they did rank audit process knowledge around Computer-assisted Audit Techniques (CAATs) as a higher priority for improvement, compared to the overall ranking.
About the Survey
Protiviti's 2013 Internal Audit Capabilities and Needs Survey Report was fielded between September and October 2012 and respondents answered more than 130 questions in three categories: Technical Knowledge, Audit Process Capabilities, and Personal Skills and Capabilities. More than one-third of the participants work in publicly traded companies and represent virtually all industry sectors, with others working across a variety of private, government, and not-for-profit organizations. The full report is available at www.protiviti.com/IAsurvey.
Webinar and VideoProtiviti will conduct a complimentary webinar exploring the survey's results on March 28 at 9:00 a.m. PDT. The 90-minute webinar is eligible for CPE credit and will be hosted by Christensen and Michael Thor, a Protiviti managing director. Please register for the webinar at www.protiviti.com/webinars. Additionally, a video featuring Christensen discussing highlights from the survey is also available on the Protiviti website at www.protiviti.com/IAsurvey.

Flap Flap 1.2
Flappy Bird is a side-scrolling mobile game that comes with 2D retro style graphics and an addictive gameplay. Your main objective is to take control over the flying bird and fly it between each oncoming set of pipes without crushing into them.
Flappy Bird-like gameplay
Just like the game that it copies, Flap Flap offers you old-school graphics, an absorbing gameplay and insane game difficulty. The game controls are pretty straightforward and very hard to master. Every time you press the left mouse button, the bird briefly flaps its wings and gains altitude.
Just like everything on our planet, the bird needs to obey the laws of physics and if you stop flapping the wings it will plunge due to the gravity force. You will get 1 score point for every brick sets you manage to pass through.
In-game high score board
The difficulty of the game remains the same throughout the entire game and the gap between the rocks is always the same. Also there is no end to the running track, the distance you can reach is only limited by your dexterity skills or lack of.
The only sound effects present in the game are the flab and ding sounds that notify you when you've added another point to your current score. Flap Flap also comes with background music that accompanies you as you fly your way to a new high score.
Unfortunately, Flap Flap does not come with Game Center integration, does not offer achievements and you cannot challenge your friends to beat your score.

"Every other word out of Rush Limbaugh's mouth is about socialist programs. Well, it's only socialist if it benefits someone else and not you."
"Obama delivered his promised 'change' which - indicated by the chaos in Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria and Iran - is now accomplished and all five have now become his dilemma, a la Jimmy Carter. Now if he can be equally adroit and change our economy around as promised?"
"You will have to make a $250,000 profit on your home sale ($500,000 for a couple) before the 3.8 percent tax, per the health care bill, will kick in. Frankly, I wouldn't mind paying an additional 3.8 percent tax to help others with their health care if my spouse and I could make a $500,000 profit on our home sale."
"In response to the Indian tribe planning to sue beer makers: Your alcoholism and poverty for generations is not the fault of the beer makers. In fact, we should sue you for our sore eyes. Your properties are filthy and run down with abandoned homes, rusted out vehicles, and litter and debris everywhere. Instead of grabbing a beer, clean up your property. Or grab a beer and clean up your property. Most importantly, take responsibility and be accountable for your own actions. After all, this is America the beautiful, not America I'll sue you! What's next, suing the fast food joints for your obesity?"
"According to a Guttmacher survey, 98 percent of sexually-experienced Catholics use active methods of birth control. Contraception is not a moral issue for Catholics; it is a matter of conscience only for a tiny number of men in the formal hierarchy of the Catholic Church - the same hierarchy that refuses to open its records to the light of day, so that we may see how child molestations and rapes by Catholic clergy have been rampant, global, and tolerated for ages."
"Mr. Romney, isn't the 'pursuit of happiness' letting a citizen marry the person they love? And won't a Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage allow government interference in the pursuit of happiness?"
"Wouldn't it be cost-efficient to have a cadaver-sniffing dog on hand every time a garbage truck unloads at a land fill? Think of all the hours, money, and manpower could be saved in recovering bodies."
"The AAA says gas prices are going up because of factors that aren't named. The price of crude oil has been stable, there have been no refinery catastrophes reported, yet gas is going up. If I were a 99 percenter I'd think this was some kind of conspiracy by the 1 percent to slow the economy and keep it slow until after the election. That way the U.S. would get a kinder, gentler President - at least to big oil and the rest of the 1 percent."
"Remember that politicians, like most employees, work best for those who will pay them the most. I read recently that while some congressmen may already have a net worth above a million, almost all of them leave congress as millionaires. Keep in mind that they currently receive an annual salary of $174,000, plus benefits and perks. Remember, too, that they usually must keep two households, one in their congressional district, and another in the Washington area. If we, the taxpayers provide less than $200K per year, I wonder where they get the rest of their million dollars, and who is supplying it? Learn that, and you will know who are their true masters."
