It's epic gridiron action. Two well-known entities going head-to-head in a Feb. 2 football game that will bring power, notoriety and money.
But this isn't about who will be the 2014 Super Bowl champ. This is about two neighboring states - New York and New Jersey - that each want its share of the hundreds of millions in economic spending that Super Bowl XLVIII is slated to bring in.
They're on one team as official game co-hosts, but they'll compete for hotel guests, partygoers, restaurant reservations and overall bragging rights.
New Jersey's vocal governor, Chris Christie, has stressed that the game's East Rutherford, NJ stadium is on his state's turf, saying in a NFL Media interview that as long as everyone understands the Super Bowl "is in New Jersey, not New York, then I'm fine."
"Yet, stadium location and Chris Christie notwithstanding, this Super Bowl is all about New York," says sports marketing expert Bob Dorfman. "That's where the action is: the hotels, restaurants, nightlife, business headquarters, media outlets, pre-game party sites, you name it."
"New York will shine brightly, with most all of the branding and spending happening there," he says. "New Jersey will mainly be an afterthought."
And as predicted by East Rutherford Mayor James Cassella,New York City has garnered most of the Super Sunday attention so far.
The Big Apple is hosting one of the biggest attractions around the game: Super Bowl Boulevard, which is a ten-block stretch down Broadway that will have concerts, athlete autograph signings and a seven-story-tall toboggan slide ride. And deep-pocketed companies such as DirecTV and Anheuser-Busch InBev have selected Manhattan as the location for their lavish, star-studded parties.
Bill La Rosa, director of the Hudson County division of cultural and tourism affairs in New Jersey, says his North Jersey region is "working hard" to grab a sliver of the spotlight -- and spending -- that often goes to New York City. But it's a challenge.
MetLife Stadium "is in one (state) and you have a lot of parties and official activation in another," he says.
He's well aware that New Jersey is the butt of many jokes, but he says that even "the underdog of states in this country" deserves a chance to show the world that it can be a desirable tourist destination.
"New York doesn't get hurt, and we all benefit if the visitor knows they have the opportunity to do things in New York and New Jersey," he says.
If potential visitors knew all that New Jersey had to offer, they may extend vacation time in both New York and New Jersey, turning what could be a quick trip to New York City into a "long-haul" vacation.
"It's a win-win for both states," he says.
With the massive attention coming on Super Sunday, New Jersey will get a chance to showcase its state - but it has to figure out how to best communicate its message, says Paul Swangard, managing director of the James H. Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon.
It "needs to be able to use this event to communicate to the millions and millions of people watching at home that New Jersey is a place to pay attention to," he says.
But it may need a hail mary.
New York City is like the successful, attention-grabbing older sibling who has "a fabulous reputation" for hosting amazing parties, while New Jersey is the younger brother in the shadow, he says. "New York always stands to be seen as the big brother."
Some things that put New Jersey at a home-field disadvantage:
Transportation troubles: There are still questions about the stadium parking restrictions and no clear answers on how mass transportation will work. "We're still waiting to hear how people will have access the stadium parking lot," says Himanshu Dadarwala, owner of a New Jersey Econo Lodge so close to MetLife stadium that "you can hear the crowd" on game days. Without that information, he's not able to answer perspective guest's questions about how they can get to the game from his hotel or plan out transportation for them. Official details on the transportation plans surrounding the game are slated to be announced on Monday.
Big-spending sponsors only want New York: Although there are many New Jersey bars and restaurants that are close to both the MetLife Stadium and Manhattan, most sponsors will only consider the bright lights of New York City for their affairs. "We here in New Jersey are having a tough time finding sponsors," La Rosa says. "We are working hard and just hope they will look at New Jersey and realize that there is huge consumer buying power here."
Media outlets will mainly be in Manhattan: Not only is New York City the headquarters for some of the biggest media companies in the country, journalists that aren't based there will have a Manhattan venue -- the Sheraton Hotel in midtown - as their official media center base camp.
New York has myriad must-see tourist sights. "If I'm a so-called everyday fan and I get this rare opportunity to go to the Super Bowl, I'm not going to miss the opportunity to see Times Square or other touristy sights," says David Carter, executive director or the USC Marshall Sports Business Institute.
Robert Tuchman, president of sports and entertainment marketing company Goviva, is planning activities for 750 individuals coming to town for Super Bowl-related events, and says "not one person has requested to be in New Jersey."
But all hope isn't lost for New Jersey, says Steve Rosner, partner and co-founder of 16W Marketing, which is based in Rutherford, NJ. near the stadium.
Since the two teams that will play in the Big Game haven't been decided yet, there is still time for New Jersey businesses to aggressively market to folks from those areas who attend the game.
"New Jersey hotels, restaurants and catering halls will be able to make up for some of the pre-spending that has already been done in New York," he says.
Local business people "cannot be discouraged about what has transpired to date," he says. "They've got to be proactive -- rather than reactive -- in securing business once the teams are solidified."

Philippines: Building Resilience Against Disasters And Climate Change
The Philippines is vulnerable to a myriad of natural hazards like typhoons, flooding, landslides, earthquakes, and volcanic activities. Disasters such as these affect the food and nutrition security of vulnerable populations. This is why Disaster Preparedness and Response/Climate Change Adaptation (DPR/CCA) is an important part of the World Food Programme's work here in the Philippines. Take a look at some of the initiatives on DPR/CCA established with the help of USAID/OFDA.

Tourism courses need updating, service excellence ethos: Joseph-A A +A
Monday, June 2, 2014
IMPLEMENTING a standard curriculum for all tourism-related courses with the involvement of the private sector is "an essential reform" to bring the Philippines at par with its Southeast Asian neighbors in producing top-quality tourism professionals, an official said.
Tourism advocate Robert Lim Joseph urged the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) to review the curriculum of all tourism-related courses and implement the necessary upgrades. He noted that the current plight of tourism graduates working as waitresses, cashiers and housekeepers indicates a job mismatch.
"We want our graduates to land in better job positions. We are always talking about integration and the capability of our workforce to land jobs in other Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries but how can they do that if the foundation is weak?" said Joseph, president of the Network of Independent Travel Agencies.
Needs to evolve
He said the current curriculum is no longer applicable to the fast evolving industry of tourism, and that the public and private tourism stakeholders shouldn't neglect one of the important facets of tourism: the workforce.
"More than the tourism products, we also need to develop our tourism professionals as they are at the frontline," he said.
Joseph, who is also the founder of the League of Tourism Students in the Philippines and the Tourism Association of Educators and Movers (Team Philippines), said there is a need to review and revamp the technical working group in Ched and appoint people with industry experience.
Go beyond theories
"Most teachers in tourism and hospitality courses have not been employed by tourism entities. They're living in the world of theories," said Joseph.
"What we want for our students is for them to have a strong basic education. Schools need to collaborate with the private sector, so the latter can transfer not only the skills but values," he added.
Joseph said he sees the free flow of professionals within the Asean region as a threat to Filipino tourism workers, should there be no developments in the quality of graduates the country produces every year.
"Even if we have a caring heart, what is there to be taught is service excellence. We need to bring out the best of our tourism workforce," he said. (KOC)

Talk with someone who understands
When you are trying to make a decision about a new pain management option, it often helps to connect with someone who has had an experience similar to your own. If you have questions, or just want to listen to what others have to say about their experience, the St. Jude Medical Patient Ambassador Program is here to help.
What is the Patient Ambassador Program?
Created by patients for patients, the Patient Ambassador Program gives you the opportunity to have candid, one-on-one discussions with people who use neurostimulation to manage their chronic pain and have volunteered to share their personal experiences with the therapy.
How do I connect with a patient ambassador volunteer?
There are two ways to request to be contacted by an ambassador:
Based on your answers to a few questions, we will match you with an ambassador whose situation is similar to your own. The ambassador will then contact you in the method you prefer (by phone or by email) and share his or her personal experience with neurostimulation.
Please note that patient ambassadors are not medical professionals and cannot help you decide if neurostimulation is right for you. As with all pain management options, you should discuss the risks and benefits of neurostimulation with your doctor. Also, patient ambassadors cannot discuss products or therapies from other companies and cannot support patients outside of the United States.
"The ambassador program helped me immensely. Being in chronic pain and going through these surgeries and procedures can be a very lonely place when you see the rest of the world running around you. And to connect with someone who has been through this and who truly understands is priceless."
"I joined the Patient Ambassador Program in 2007 because I wanted to make sure other chronic pain sufferers like me did not have to experience the loneliness that I went through."
"As an ambassador and pain patient, I invite you to take advantage of what this volunteer group has to offer. We're here to answer you questions and listen to your concerns."

Breast cancer can be detected early
Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women. It is the second leading cause of death for all women. Men can get breast cancer, but it is very rare.
Breast cancer screening is essential preventive care for women. Early breast cancer usually does not cause pain and may cause no symptoms.
According to the Naval Medical Information Management Center, there are some steps you can take to detect breast cancer early.
You should practice "breast self awareness." This means understanding the normal appearance and feel of your breasts so that you can better notice any changes.
A monthly breast self-exam is critical for detecting breast cancer before it spreads. Changes to look for are:
A change in the size or shape of your breast.
A change in color or feel of the skin of the breast, areola or nipple.
A lump or thickening in or near the breast or under the arms.
Signs of discharge from your nipple, especially blood.
Do not disregard sharp pains in your breast.
Any changes detected, no matter how small, should be reported to your health care provider.
Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical breast exam by a health care provider as part of a regular health exam every one to three years. After age 40, women should have a clinical breast exam every year.
Starting at age 40, women should consider having a mammogram every year. Mammograms are recommended every one to two years for women after age 50.
Women who have a family history of breast cancer should talk to their health care provider about genetic screening.
Certain conditions and circumstances place some women at risk for developing breast cancer. Many of these risks are out of your control, such as a family history of breast cancer. However, three risk factors that you can do something about are drinking too much alcohol, smoking and obesity.
For more information or to schedule an appointment with your health care provider, call the Medical Home Port Green Team at 982-6342 or Medical Home Port Blue Team at 982-6321 at the Naval Branch Health Clinic Port Hueneme.

KITV4's US Senate Debate Break DownUPDATED 7:08 PM HST Jul 08, 2014
Things heated up between Representative Colleen Hanabusa and Senator Brian Schatz at the KITV4 US Senate debate . Find out what our expert is saying as they break down the debate.Video Transcript
fireworks between the democrats hoping to be Hawaii's next Senator. Senator Brian Schatz and Representative Colleen Hanabusa went head to head for a full hour. Here now, one of the exchanges that caught the attention of a lot of our viewers. It was the moment in the debate, when the candidates were asked to be complimentary, what has the opponent done to positively impact Hawaii? S 18:42:46-18:43:03 "I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS SHE DID WELL WAS CONVENE THE FELIX CONSENT DECREE SPECIAL INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE THAT PROVED TO BE USEFUL FOR STATE GOVERNMENT IN TERMS OF GETTING OUR ARMS AROUND SPENDING THAT WAS A LITTLE OUT OF CONTROL" H 18:43:25-18:43:55 "THE ONE THING I ADMIRE ABOUT BRIAN IS HE IS A SURVIVOR. HE RAN FOR CONGRESS AND HE MANAGED TO COME BACK AS THE HEAD OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THEN HE WON AS LT. GOVERNOR AND THEN HE CONVINCED NEIL ABERCROMBIE THAT HE SHOULD BE APPOINTED TO THE U.S. SENATE. THAT'S AN AMAZING FEAT. ONE VOTE CREATED SOMEBODY AS THE UNITED STATES SENATOR FOR THE STATE OF HAWAII. THAT IS SOMETHING YOU GOTTA ADMIRE". KITV Analyst Neil Milner - called Hanabusa's sharp response, a left handed compliment. 231 I MEAN A SURVIVOR? IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HERE? WHAT'S THAT MEAN? 234 So what do the candidates take from last night's debate moving forward? What changes, if any do they make as they head into the final month of campaigning? Milner says Schatz has more flexibility because he has a bigger campaign warchest. Federal records show he has raised about 4 million dollars to Hanabusa's 2 million. FIRST OF ALL THEY CAN DO MORE WITH THE TRADITIONAL KINDS OF ADS OR EVEN THE NON- TRADITIONAL KINDS OF ADS. THE SECOND THING IS THAT HE MAY BE ABLE TO DO BETTER, AND THIS IS HARDER TO READ, BUT MORE SOPHISTICATE D TARGETING OF CERTAIN KINDS OF VOTERS. For Hanabusa the message has to be clear. 5:58 I THINK WHAT SHE SAYS IS I'M SMARTER THAN HE IS, HE FEELS MORE ENTITLTED TO IT THAN I AM. I HAVE MORE SERIOUS POLITICAL EXPERINECE. I'M OVERALL A BETTER KIND OF PERSON TO DO THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE." KITV4 will host a live debate in the democratic primary race for Representative Colleen Hanabusa's District 1 seat. 7 democrats will square off on Wednesday, July 23rd at 8 P-M.

Its been a while since I posted any Kerala recipes in here so I fished this out from my drafts. I make this quite often since this is one dish with coconut that TH doesn't mind too much. Not that I refrain from any other coconut-heavy Kerala dish 'cuz of his slight dislike :)
Kaalan is a staple in any Kerala Sadya especially for Onam Sadya. The usual kaalan recipe has both elephant yam (chena) and raw bananas (pachakkai). I add only yam since that's more readily available here. Also, its important that the curd is slightly sour, otherwise the curry will taste a bit 'flat'. Adding a bit of tamarind might take care of this, I haven't tried that though.
Serves 4
Curd - 1.5 cups lightly beaten to remove lumps, best if slightly sour
Elephant yam (chena) - 1/2 cup, cubed
Coconut - 1/2 cup
Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Green chillies - 2 to 3
Fenugreek seeds (uluva) - 1/4 tsp
Dried red chillies - 2
Oil - 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - a few
How to Make Kaalan
1. Heat 1 cup water with the yam pieces and cook till almost done. (A fork inserted should come out easily. Make sure that the pieces are not mushy, just cooked). Meanwhile, grind coconut with green chillies well, with very little water.
2. Add salt, pepper powder and turmeric powder to the pan.
3. Lower the fire to minimum and add the beaten curd along with the ground coconut. After about five minutes, removed from fire and set aside.
4. Heat oil in a pan and temper mustard seeds. Lightly fry the fenugreek seeds (take care not to burn it!) with the curry leaves and the red chillies. Add this to the above curry and mix well.
If you are not serving Kaalan in a sadya, not to worry. This curry goes well with steamed rice and (a) Kaya Mezhukkupuratti, (b) Okra fry with Peanuts, (c) Kovvaka Mezhukkupuratti, etc

As of this writing I'm about midway through the second season and I have to say that yes, it is as good as people say. I don't mean it's good by the sometimes lower standards of other sci-fi fare, I mean it's just a good television program period. Consider me frakking converted.
Since I'm late to the game, however, and spend a lot of time writing about TV, it has been like maneuvering through a minefield on roller skates to avoid learning what happened during the third season finale. And trust me, there are a lot of people talking about Battlestar Galactica online. The moment I see those two words my eyes try to focus on some other part of my computer screen so they don't absorb any information. I've been doing this so much I've actually built up the muscle tissue around my eyeballs and can juggle strippers with my eyelids (the secret is to have the strippers roll themselves into the "cannonball" position, it makes them easier to catch and throw).
If it were anyone else, I'd tell them to just avoid TV sites until they catch up with the series, but I can't write about TV without frequenting TV-centric sites. It seems inevitable that I'll be exposed to what happened before I've actually made it through the third season: when enough time has passed, people will start speaking more openly about it just as they do certain "movie secrets" like Citizen Kane's sled, Luke Skywalker's father, that "chick" in The Crying Game, and the inexplicable all-animal mass-suicide/sex orgy that was the denouement of Benji: the Hunted, possibly the most disturbing ending to a G-rated movie, ever.
Anyway, much like my first viewing of all those aforementioned films, I'm sure once I finally get around to season three of BSG I'll already know what's going to happen. That's kind of a bummer, but what the hell, it's a good show. Lord knows I can't fault anyone for liking it and wanting to talk about it. Otherwise, what's the point of the internet?
One other thing: I notice that in the sex scenes involving the "human" cylons, they always show a red light running up and down the backs of the cylon. Wouldn't they be able to figure out which ones are cylons by just sexually arousing everyone and seeing whether or not their backs light up? If not, I may have just come up with the plot for some erotic Battlestar fan fiction.

UNESCO elects Syria to human rights committees
UN Watch calls on UNESCO to reverse the decision
Vote slammed by UNESCO director herself & Canada's Foreign Minister
GENEVA, Nov. 23 – UN Watch today called on UNESCO's executive board, which includes the US, France, the UK and other Western democracies, to reverse its unanimous election of Syria to a pair of committees – one dealing directly with human rights issues – even as the Bashar al-Assad regime maintains its campaign of violence against its own citizens.

While many of you are preparing for your summer vacations, the American College of Surgeons Professional Association's (ACSPA) political action committee (ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC) is preparing for the upcoming election season. 2014 is an election year for the entire House of Representatives and one-third of the Senate. As you can imagine, many hotly contested races are taking place across the nation, which is why the ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC is constantly working at the federal level on issues that support and promote candidates who will serve as champions for the practice of surgery. Like it or not, all roads lead through Washington, DC. The decisions made on Capitol Hill have a profound effect on our members' ability to practice surgery. For some of the most important issues facing surgeons—including the need for medical liability reform, Medicare physician payment reform, increased research funding, trauma care systems funding, and hospital admittance rules—surgeons have the power to influence the process. In the 2013 ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC annual report, you will find highlights of PAC activities and accomplishments, along with a comprehensive list of 2013 contributors. In 2013, the ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC raised more than $606,000 from nearly 2,000 members and ACS staff. With the help of all 2013 PAC contributors, your College leaders, staff, and engaged Fellows were able to make and maintain critical connections with elected officials. The College's political clout has never been stronger and the effect of the ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC in Washington, DC, is significant. You have the ability to help make a noticeable impact in Congress. Start by using SurgeonsVoice.org, an online resource created specifically for College members. It is an interactive advocacy program that will help you establish critical professional and personal relationships with decision makers, both on and off Capitol Hill. SurgeonsVoice provides guidance on how to host an event in your hometown for members of Congress, how to respond to calls to action, and more. You may also make your annual contribution to the PAC at www.surgeonspac.org. By joining your colleagues in financially supporting SurgeonsPAC, you are helping to ensure that surgery is in the best possible position to have the greatest positive impact on the upcoming elections and, ultimately, the decisions being made that directly affect the practice of medicine. Contributions to ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. Contributions are voluntary, and all members of the ACSPA have the right to refuse to contribute without reprisal. Federal law prohibits ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC from accepting contributions from foreign nationals. By law, if your contributions are made using a personal check or credit card, ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC may only use your contribution to support candidates in federal elections. All corporate contributions to ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC will be used for educational and administrative fees of ACSPA, and other activities permissible under federal law. Federal law requires ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC to use its best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation, and the name of the employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in a calendar year. ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC is a program of the ACSPA which is exempt from federal income tax under section 501 (c) (6) of the Internal Revenue Code. At the Federal Level Welcome! Drs.

Dr. Bailey will serve as ACS Medical Director of Advocacy. Dr. Opelka holds a number of national positions, including ACS Surgical Quality Alliance Chair and American Medical Association Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement Chair. He also plays a leadership role on the National Quality Forum's (NQF) Consensus Standards Approval Committee and the NQF's Measure Application Partnership. He is currently executive vice-president of health care and medical education redesign at Louisiana State University System, New Orleans. Dr. Bailey is chief of pediatric surgery at Maricopa Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ. He currently serves as Vice-Chair of the ACSPA-SurgeonsPAC and is a member of the ACS Health Policy and Advocacy Group. He is completing a master of legal studies degree at Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law and is a Captain in the Navy Reserve. Their offices will be located in the ACS DAHP in Washington, DC. Rare Earth Magnets Shelved Following Pressure from Medical Community The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on May 12 announced a voluntary recall of two of the most commonly purchased rare earth magnet sets, BuckyBalls and BuckyCubes. These magnets can cause injury when multiple magnets are ingested and attract inside the body, causing obstructions or perforations that frequently require endoscopic retrieval or surgical intervention. Under the terms of the recall, consumers who purchased the potentially dangerous items will be able to return them and receive a refund of the purchase price. Refunds will come from a trust fund controlled by the CPSC and funded by the founder of Maxfield & Oberton, the now defunct company that originally sold the products. Maxfield & Oberton agreed in late 2012 to discontinue production of these dangerous items due to continued pressure from the medical community, including the ACS, and other concerned parties. Sales of existing stock, however, continued, and the CPSC decided to move forward with the rule-making process and held a hearing on the issue in late 2013. According to the CPSC website it is now illegal under federal law for any person to sell, offer for sale, manufacture, distribute in commerce, or import into the U.S. any BuckyBalls or BuckyCubes magnetic set. Additional recall information is available on the CPSC website. The Fight Against Cancer The ACS Commission on Cancer (CoC) provided a statement to the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging hearing on The Fight Against Cancer: Challenges, Progress, and Promise. The May 7 hearing was part of an initiative to increase funding for cancer research, specifically to study the correlation between aging and cancer. Panelists said that although survival rates are improving, cancer continues to be the second most common cause of death in the U.S., exceeded only by heart disease, and although it affects all people, regardless of demographic characteristics, it poses particular challenges for older Americans. ACS advocacy staff and representatives from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) attended the hearing and agree that significant progress has been made, as reflected in the fact that the number of cancer survivors tripled in the last 40 years; however, little still is known about the impact of cancer treatments on the body as it ages. In January, Congress was able to restore $1 billion in funding to the NIH and NCI; nonetheless, their budgets remain far below the funding they received in previous years. The hope is that the hearing is one of the first steps toward filling the funding gap. The CoC has set comprehensive, patient-centered standards and collects standardized data to measure cancer care quality in approximately 1,500 accredited hospitals in the U.S. and supports initiatives that seek to improve cancer prevention, early detection, cancer care delivery, and outcomes in health care settings. ACS Supports Biomedical Research Legislation The ACS supports legislation introduced in both the Senate and House of Representatives in May that, if passed, would provide sustainable support for biomedical research in the U.S. This federally funded revenue stream would enable the NIH, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Defense Health Program, and the Veterans Medical and Prosthetics Research Program to continue producing scientific innovations aimed at accelerating the discovery, development, and delivery of new patient treatment options. The end goal is to help Americans live healthier, longer lives while helping the U.S. continue to lead the world in medical innovation. This legislation was introduced just as the 21st Century Cures initiative was unveiled; that program seeks to close the gap between the scientific development of cures and the regulatory pathway to therapies. 2015 IPPS Proposed Rule Would Increase Acute Care Hospital Payments On April 30, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the fiscal year (FY) 2015 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) proposed rule. The proposal calls for increasing average inpatient payments to acute care hospitals by 1.3 percent in FY 2015, which begins October 1, 2014. This payment update is contingent upon hospitals reporting specified quality data set forth in the Inpatient Quality Reporting Program. The proposed rule also solicits comments on alternative Medicare payment systems for short inpatient stays for conditions that may be treated on an outpatient basis. In addition, the proposed rule would make a number of changes to CMS quality improvement programs. For example, it calls for increasing the maximum penalty for hospitals with excessive readmissions under the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program to 3 percent from 2 percent for readmission billings, as well as further reducing hospital Medicare payments to fund the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing program to 1.5 percent from 1.25 percent. The proposed rule also implements recent legislation that delayed implementation of both the two-midnight policy and the International Classification of Disease, 10th revision (ICD-10) conversion. ACS staff is evaluating these and other provisions in the proposal to determine the impact on surgery and plans to submit a comment letter to CMS. Deadline to Apply for EHR Hardship Exemption Is July 1 Penalties loom for eligible professionals (EPs) unable to successfully participate in the CMS Electronic Health Records (EHR) Incentive Program by July 1 and for EPs who participated in calendar year (CY) 2011 or 2012 but could not participate in 2013. These EPs may receive a 1-percent penalty on their total Medicare Part B fee-for-service payment amount in CY 2015. To avoid the penalty, these EPs should apply for an EHR hardship exception by July 1. If they do not qualify for an exception, they should begin their 90-day reporting by July 1, 2014, and submit any attestation to CMS by October 1, 2014. Dr. Ko Appointed to NQF Surgery Standing Committee Nominated by the ACS, Clifford Y. Ko, MD, MS, MSHS, FACS, FASCRS, was recently appointed to the NQF Surgery Standing Committee. The committee identifies and endorses performance measures for accountability and quality improvement that address a number of surgical specialty areas, including cardiac, thoracic, vascular, orthopaedic, neurosurgery, urologic, and general surgery. Dr. Ko, Director of the ACS Division of Research and Optimal Patient Care, oversees all of the College's quality improvement programs, including those activities conducted through the Committee on Trauma and Commission on Cancer as well as the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program, National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, Surgeon Specific Registry, and ACS National Surgical Quality Improvement Program. Dr. Ko also has served on many NQF committees, including the Colorectal Cancer Technical Working Group, National Voluntary Consensus Standards for Hospital Care, Surgery and Anesthesia Technical Expert Panel, and Health Care Outcomes Steering Committee. In addition, he was the principal investigator on a study assessing the NQF indicators for cancer. The NQF is a multi-stakeholder, not-for-profit organization that builds consensus on national priorities and goals for performance improvement, working in partnerships to achieve them; endorses national consensus standards for measuring and publicly reporting on performance; and pursues national goals through education and outreach programs. Recent DAHP Activities and Meetings State and legislative staff participated in a meeting with the U.S. Veterans Administration (VA) to discuss a proposed VA nursing handbook that would consist of revised and new practicing guidelines for advanced practice nurses, including certified registered nurse anesthetists. Regulatory staff participated in a CMS eHealth Summit webinar on May 19. Among others, participants heard from the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation on health information technology (HIT) and its impact on care delivery and payment reform, and the Health Information and Management Systems Society panel discussed its quality initiatives and the impact they have on primary care. Regulatory staff attended the CPT Editorial Panel Meeting in Rosemont, IL, where potential changes to CPT coding were discussed. Regulatory staff presented on the 96-hour rule at the ACS Rural Surgery Symposium in Chicago. Coding Corner Two Remaining: ACS Surgical Coding Workshops and ICD-10 Preparedness Two ACS Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) surgical coding workshops are scheduled for the remainder of 2014. Nashville, TN Loews Vanderbilt Hotel Aug. 20–22 800-336-3335 Chicago, IL Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile Nov. 12–14 888-591-1234 These three-day workshops include ICD-10 Training for General Surgery, E/M Coding, Profitable Practice Operations, and Strategy, and Mastering General Surgery CPT Coding. The ICD-10 session focuses on successfully applying the ICD-10 changes. The course uses a systematic approach to deconstructing the ICD-10 book and includes in-depth ICD-10 coding analysis of neoplasms, gastrointestinal conditions, skin lesions, non-healing wounds, and signs and symptoms of various diseases to prepare for the October 2015 ICD-10 transition. Participants also will receive a coding workbook to use for future reference. The general surgery and strategy sessions will emphasize effective billing and collection processes designed to reduce inaccuracies and delayed reimbursements and offer techniques for improving communication and productivity. Continuing medical education credits are not available for the ICD-10 session; however, attendees may receive a maximum of 6.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for each day of participation in the two general surgery CPT coding sessions. Members of the American Association of Professional Coders may earn a maximum of 6.5 credits per day. Register today. At the State Level Lawmakers Nix Trauma Legislation in Florida During the remaining hours of the legislative session, Florida lawmakers added a 105-page amendment to H.B. 7105. The bill, which subsequently did not pass at the end of the session due to House and Senate differences, dealt with the state's trauma system. The bill would have: Grandfathered three Hospital Corporation of America (HCA)-owned trauma centers into the trauma system while establishing a one-year moratorium on accrediting facilities that would have expired July 1, 2015 Capped trauma activation fees at $15,000, another provision that would have expired July 1, 2015 Authorized the Department of Health to conduct a full assessment of the trauma system and submit a report to the legislature by February 1, 2015, as well as conduct an annual review of the trauma system service areas to determine their overall effectiveness in providing "uniform care throughout the state" Required each trauma center to post its activation fee in a conspicuous place within the trauma center and in a prominent place on its website New York Truth in Advertising Legislation Legislators in New York are considering the Health Care Professional Transparency Act, S.5493 and A.7889, two important bills that would help ensure that patients are properly informed of the credentials of the health care professional who is treating them. These bills require that advertisements for services provided by health care professionals identify the type of professional license and board certification, if applicable, held by the health care professional. In addition, they would require all advertisements to be free from any deceptive or misleading information. To date, more than 70 letters to state legislators have been generated. Take action and support the bill. Breast Density Deductible Elimination in Connecticut S.B. 10, a bill in the Connecticut legislature, unanimously passed the House and Senate in May and awaits action from Gov. Dannel P. Malloy (D). The bill prohibits insurers from imposing a deductible for certain breast ultrasound screenings if an initial mammogram has indicated dense breast tissue. In cases where the patient has a high-deductible plan, the deductible or copayment cannot exceed $20. Medical Liability Legislation in New York Legislation in New York, A. 1056, would revise the statute of limitations for medical, dental, and podiatric liability actions. The 2.5-year statute of limitations would run from the date the patient discovers the injury. A second bill, S.7130, also creates a date-of-discovery statute of limitations but would prohibit a liability action from being filed more than 10 years after the date of the alleged act. These bills could lead to large increases in the cost of liability insurance by raising medical liability premiums more than 15 percent, which, in turn, could have a negative impact on physicians and the state's health care system. Surgeons in New York are encouraged to contact their legislators to oppose these bills. States Make Progress on Limiting Use of Tanning Devices by Minors This year, nearly 20 state legislatures introduced bills to regulate the use of tanning beds. So far, seven bills have been signed into law with more possibly passing in the coming weeks. States that have passed such regulations include Alabama, Hawaii, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and Washington. The bills range from establishing regulation for the first time, which occurred in Alabama, to banning those under the age of 18 from using tanning devices without a prescription from a physician, which occurred in Hawaii and Washington. States debating similar bills include Delaware, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, and New Hampshire. If you have questions or would like more information on this legislation, please contact ACS State Affairs at email@example.com. Optometry Scope of Practice Advances in Louisiana Legislature On May 7, the Louisiana House of Representatives passed H.B. 1065—legislation the College opposes that would expand optometry's scope of practice to include scalpel and laser surgery and injections. H.B. 1065 would permit optometrists to: Inject anesthesia into the eyelid for surgical procedures Perform scalpel eyelid surgeries on lesions, cysts, chalazia and pterygia Use lasers for glaucoma—selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) Perform yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) posterior capsulotomy Insert needles for paracentesis procedures The bill has passed both chambers of the legislature and has now moved to Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) for his consideration. The College is working with its specialty society partners to oppose this legislation, and has sent a letter asking the governor to veto the bill. All Louisiana surgeons are encouraged to send a message to Governor Jindal encouraging him to veto H.B. 1065. Liability Reform in Missouri Legislation reinstating caps on noneconomic damages failed in the Missouri Senate before the session ended May 16. H.B. 1173 and S.B. 589 would have removed medical liability from the common law and created a statutory cause of action for medical liability cases. This provision would have granted the legislature the ability to cap noneconomic damages without violating the right to a jury trial. In 2012, the Supreme Court based its decision to strike down Missouri's caps on this common law/statutory law difference, where common law causes of action violate the state constitution, but statutorily created ones do not. H.B. 1173 passed the Missouri House in March.

Man survives car crash, then killed by truck
- From: Geelong Advertiser
- April 11, 2014
A MAN survived a car crash only to walk in front of a truck on the Princes Fwy near Little River overnight.
The 23-year-old Oakleigh man died at the scene.
Investigators believe the man was driving towards Melbourne on the Princes Freeway when he lost control of his car and crashed into a group of trees in the centre median strip about 12.15am.
It is believed he then got out of the car and stepped onto the freeway, where he was hit by an oncoming truck.
The male truck driver was not injured during the incident.
Acting Sergeant Troy Morrow said it was a tragic set of circumstances.
"The truck wasn't speeding and the male was just walking on the freeway. The truck had no hope of seeing him," he told 3AW radio.
Police are investigating and will prepare a report for the Coroner.
The incident brings the provisional road toll to 76, nine more than this time last year.
Anyone who witnessed the collision, or the car's movements in the lead up to it, is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Obama: Make the Economy Work...for Everybody
January 24, 2012
We've come to expect grand things from the State of the Union: Major revelations about the president's agenda, bold policy initiatives, memorable turns of phrase. And sometimes that's what we get, for better and for worse. In 2009, for example, Obama used his budget speech (the de facto State of the Union) to lay out his ambitious first-year agenda.

Windows 8 is built around apps and Microsoft obviously knows that, so its efforts to get closer to developers and encourage them to create apps for the new platform are not at all surprising.
This struggle continues with a new video showcasing a "new world of apps," as Microsoft calls it, which basically allows you to make the best of a Windows RT tablet with just one tap.
It's "a worldwide app store with over 1 billion potential users," Microsoft says in the video and "over the latest 2 years, more Windows licenses have been sold than Android, iOS and Macs combined."
Of course, this has nothing to do with Windows 8 and its slow debut, as several sources familiar with the matter have hinted that Microsoft executives are a bit disappointed with early sales of the new OS.
The company, on the other hand, has said that more than 40 million Windows 8 copies had been sold in just one month.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. Researchers at the University of Illinois have found a new way to make transistors smaller and faster. The technique uses self-assembled, self-aligned, and defect-free nanowire channels made of gallium arsenide.
In a paper to appear in the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) journal Electron Device Letters, U. of I. electrical and computer engineering professor Xiuling Li and graduate research assistant Seth Fortuna describe the first metal-semiconductor field-effect transistor fabricated with a self-assembled, planar gallium-arsenide nanowire channel.
Nanowires are attractive building blocks for both electronics and photonics applications. Compound semiconductor nanowires, such as gallium arsenide, are especially desirable because of their better transport properties and versatile heterojunctions. However, a number of challenges including integration with existing microelectronics must first be overcome.
"Our new planar growth process creates self-aligned, defect-free gallium-arsenide nanowires that could readily be scaled up for manufacturing purposes," said Li, who also is affiliated with the university's Micro and Nanoelectronics Laboratory and the Beckman Institute. "It's a non-lithographic process that can precisely control the nanowire dimension and orientation, yet is compatible with existing circuit design and fabrication technology."
The gallium-arsenide nanowire channel used in the researchers' demonstration transistor was grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition using gold as a catalyst. The rest of the transistor was made with conventional microfabrication techniques.
While the diameter of the transistor's nanowire channel was approximately 200 nanometers, nanowires with diameters as small as 5 nanometers can be made with the gold-catalyzed growth technique, the researchers report. The self-aligned orientation of the nanowires is determined by the crystal

Who lives here

They may relocate to be closer to retired relatives, or maybe they just want to sun themselves on Siesta Key's beach without enduring sneaky camera flashes. Some reside in town full time while many add a winter waterfront palace to their already lengthy list of worldwide properties. Others like Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Tom Selleck and Michael Jordan have drifted in and out over the years. Here are several stars Calvin Pryor Womens Jersey walking among us:

Joe Perry

With his long curly hair and chiseled chest, the Aerosmith guitarist has been spotted participating in Sarasota beach cleanups and walking around St. Armands Circle. He and his wife, Billie, live in South Pomfret, Vt., much of the year and have a second home on Longboat Key. Still on tour and playing at the 1 800 ASK GARY Amphitheatre in Tampa on Aug. 7, the 59 year old Perry is ranked No. 48 on Rolling Stone Magazine's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" list. In 2009, he released his solo Joe Perry Project album, "Have Guitar, Will Travel."The raspy voiced AC/DC frontman has graced the stages of local venues like the Irish Rover Pub in Gulf Gate, and has collaborated with area musicians on various projects. The 1973 formed hard rock band, which Johnson joined in 1980, is responsible for making "Back in Black" the second best selling album of all time. In 2003, Johnson worked on a musical version of "Helen of Troy" with Sarasota Ballet choreographer Robert de Warren.

Stephen King

His books from "The Shining" to "Misery" are now part of the American vernacular. King has sold more than 350 million copies of his novels and short story compilations and many have been adapted for TV and film. He has a second home in Bangor, Maine, and has been photographed at anti war protests and other community events throughout Sarasota and Bradenton.

'Macho Man' Randy Savage

The former American pro wrestler (real name: Randall Mario Poffo) became an icon in the 1980s for his ostentatious wardrobe and perpetually bronzed physique. Now 57, the longtime performer with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) married Lynne Payne on Lido Beach in May. At 66, Springer is best known for hosting "The Show" a portrait of dysfunctional families that battle everything from adultery to racism which first aired in 1991 and is now syndicated globally. He is also a former Democratic mayor of Cincinnati, as well as a musician, having opened for country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. When his TV scheduling allows, he leaves the studio in Stamford, Conn., and heads south.

Dickey Betts

A founding member of the Allman Brothers Band, Forrest Richard "Dickey" Betts was born in Bradenton and is still a fixture in the city's music scene. He and his most recent band, Great Southern, played at such events as the De Soto Seafood Festival, and Betts has a home in Osprey with his wife, Donna. Now 66, Betts is an inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1995) and won a Grammy Award for best rock performance for the song "Jessica" in 1996. He is No. 58 on Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" list.

Jane Lynch

At the end of May, the "Glee" actress made headlines when she married her partner, Dr. Lara Embry, a former psychology professor at New College of Florida. The two have a home in Sarasota, where Embry practices at the Carter Psychology Center, and Lynch stays when she's not playing the beloved character, Coach Sue Sylvester, in the Fox musical comedy series. Lynch appeared in several episodes of the Starz series "Party Down" and is also known for her humorous roles as a poodle handler in "Best in Show" and a Authentic Arthur Lynch Jersey lecherous store manager in "The 40 Year Old Virgin."

Dick Vitale

When he's not appearing on ESPN's "Mike Mike in the Morning," the well known basketball sportscaster is dining at The Broken Egg on Siesta Key and in Lakewood Ranch. Vitale lives in the latter with his wife, Lorraine. A 78 year old resident of Longboat Key with his wife, Cindi, Bollettieri founded Bradenton's Tennis Academy in 1978. Now 53, Navratilova won the Wimbledon women's singles nine times and has won a record 20 total Wimbledon titles. Navratilova is an avid animal rights advocate and has done charity work for sanctuaries in Sarasota.

Jack Perkins

The former host of A "Biography," once famously parodied by "Saturday Night Live's" Darrell Hammond, is a Sarasota resident. The 77 year old anchorman, narrator and award winning journalist currently hosts "A Gulf Coast Journal," a weekly magazine show that airs on WEDU TV in Tampa. Perkins is also an amateur photographer and poet, and recently compiled a book titled, "Island Prayers: Photographs and Poems of Praise."

Donald 'Duck' Dunn

Known for his work in the 1960s R band Booker T. the MG's, Dunn lives on Snead Island in Palmetto. He was also a member of the Blues Brothers. Booker T. the MG's were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. Although semi retired, Dunn continues to do shows with Booker T. the MG's. He's the only original member left in the art rock group, which formed in Birmingham, England, in the early 1960s. His longtime bandmates, Justin Hayward and John Lodge, joined in 1968. The trio opens a two month North American tour tonight in South Bend, Ind. They'll then launch a monthlong tour of Britain in September.

Sent to Chongqing (Chungking) in January 1941, Currie met there with Chinese leaders. He recommended that China be added to the Lend-Lease program, despite the fact that Generalissimo Jiang Jieshi (Chiang Kai-shek) was more interested in building up his strength vis-à-vis the Communists than in fighting the Japanese. He helped set up the American Volunteer Group (the Flying Tigers) under Claire Chennault as well as a training program in the United States for Chinese pilots, and he expanded the China National Aviation Corporation.
Currie's paper to the Joint War Board in May 1941 on Chinese aircraft requirements stressed the role a Chinese air force could play in defending Singapore, the Burma Road, and the Philippines against Japanese attack and also pointed out China's potential for bombing Japan itself. Currie recommended Owen Lattimore as political adviser to Jiang and argued against concessions to Japan.
In 1942, when British Prime Minister Winston L. S. Churchill diverted supplies from China to North Africa and Jiang threatened to discontinue war with Japan, Roosevelt dispatched Currie to Chongqing to soothe the generalissimo and to patch up strained relations between Jiang and his chief of staff, U.S. Lieutenant General Joseph W. Stilwell. Currie recommended Stilwell's recall, but this action was delayed until 1944. By 1943, when he moved to the Foreign Economic Administration, Currie had come to share Churchill's view of China as a relatively unimportant theater. In early 1945, he headed the Allied delegation to Bern to persuade the Swiss to block Nazi bank balances and halt the flow of German supplies through Switzerland to Italy.
Part of Currie's work involved negotiating with the Soviets on wartime and postwar loan agreements and other matters. When his name appeared in partially decrypted Soviet cables between Moscow and Washington—the so-called Venona Papers—some believed Currie was a Soviet agent. He appeared before the House Committee on Unamerican Activities (HUAC) in August 1948 to deny these allegations. Although no charges resulted, U.S. authorities refused to renew Currie's passport in 1954 because he had taken up residence in Colombia following his appointment as the head of a World Bank mission there between 1949 and 1950 and his subsequent marriage to a Colombian. In 1958, he became a Colombian citizen. Currie taught in the United States and Canada as a visiting professor from 1966 to 1971, but he was active in Colombia as that government's most important economic adviser until his death in Bogota on 23 December 1993.

Givenchy, Hermes and Celine get elegant
A model wears a creation by fashion designer Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy's ready to wear Spring-Summer 2013 collection, presented in Paris, Sunday, Sept. 30, 2012. (AP Photo/Francois Mori)
PARIS (AP) — True style doesn't try too hard.
That was the statement at Paris Fashion Week, alarmingly simple, but proved in a number of ready-to-wear presentations Sunday which heralded a move towards clean, simplified elegance.
Celine designer Phoebe Philo — at the top of her game — produced a chic display, effortlessly.
Three years after the lauded Briton's Celine debut, she delivered a strong show, which evoked her boho-bourgeois style in soft silhouettes with subtle architecture.
Another of Paris' influential designers, Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy, presented a new vision of style Sunday.
Again, Tisci channeled a clean look, simplifying the house silhouette in a less elaborate yet sophisticated collection.
Hermes — the house of the jet-setting fashion buyer — served up the elegance in its usual cocktail of travel, silk, leather and exotic cultural references.
Summing up his show, the house's designer Christophe Lemaire said it represented "a clean, sharp, modernist traveler."
Monday's highly anticipated shows include Stella McCartney, Chloe — and the hottest ticket of the week — Hedi Slimane's debut outing as designer for the rebranded Saint Laurent.
Spring is about gentle contradictions, not color, Phoebe Philo seemed to say: Shown through a muted palette of black, white, navy and Login to read more
