Personalised Flying Reindeer Decoration

The sprightly looking reindeer is made from 1.5 mm wood grain effect card stock, which is lighter and more durable than wood, but still gives off a lovely rustic feel. It is approximately 15 cm x 15 cm and features a particular spiral design. If you choose to personalise this (you can also choose the non personalised option) and make it that little bit more special, you can write up to 35 characters and the name, word or message will be displayed along the bottom of the reindeer.
The decoration will be packed in a clear cello bag with a pearlescent cream background and thick board for protection meaning it is beautifully presented to wrap and gift straight away if you choose to do so. An ivory double satin ribbon is attached for easy hanging!

Vin-de-Cal is the international sales representative for select small family-owned wineries in California; Schramsberg, Ferrari-Carano, Benovia and Talley. Taste wines from all these wineries on Saturday 15th March at The Vineyard from 11am to 5pm and attend masterclasses throughout the day for just £40 for two tickets. Discover more
Schramsberg was originally founded in 1862 by Joseph Schram, who made still wine. When he died the winery lay dormant until Jack and Jamie Davies bought it in 1965. The Davies' plan was to make sparkling wine the same way that Champagne is made as no one in the U.S. was doing this. In 1972 President Nixon chose their Blanc de Blancs to toast Premier Zhou Enlai when the U.S. re-opened relations with China.
Since that day Schramsberg has been poured by every President at the White House. The wines are frequently mistaken for Champagne in blind tastings. The wines are all vintage dated. The J Schram is Schramsberg's signature wine and is the perfect balance of acidity and richness. The Blanc de Blancs is the most popular wine and works well as an aperitif and as an accompaniment to food. The winery is now in the hands of the Davies' youngest son, Hugh.
Ferrari-Carano was founded by Don and Rhonda Carano in 1981. Both Caranos are of Italian descent and the rolling hills of Alexander Valley reminded them of Italy. They chose to add Don's grandmother's name, Ferrari, to the name of their winery as a tribute to her. Ferrari-Carano began by making Chardonnay and Fume Blanc. They established a highly acclaimed reputation for these wines. They added their red wines a few years later and are now known for both red and white wines.
The Fume Blanc continues to be one of their best loved wines. A well rounded, flavourful wine that is highly regarded by consumers and restaurants, and often served as a wine-by-the glass. On the red side, the Merlot is a favorite having rich berry fruit with firm structure, able to have as a glass,but perfect with duck or beef.
Benovia is a small winery owned by the couple, Joe Anderson and Mary Dewane, and the winemaker, Mike Sullivan. They founded the winery in 2007 when they bought the land in Russian River. They now also own a vineyard on the Sonoma Coast. Mike Sullivan built a reputation for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay before joining Jo and Mary in this venture.
Benovia offers Russian River Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as well as several vineyard select Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays. The wines are consistently regarded highly by well-respected critics year after year Although the winery is small its reputation is growing for the balance of fruit and texture the wines provide. The Russian River Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are bright, full-flavoured wines on their own, but a great accompaniment to meals. The individual vineyard select wines are distinct in each case, reflecting the terroir where they are grown. Enjoy a vineyard designated Pinot Noir with fowl or heartier fish and the combination proves that the marriage of wine and food makes both better.
Talley began in 1948 when Oliver Talley founded Talley Farms and started growing specialty vegetables in the Arroyo Grande Valley. During the 1970s extensive planting of wine grapes began in the neighbouring Edna Valley and Santa Barbara County areas. After observation and extensive analysis, Oliver's son, Don Talley, was convinced of the potential to grow high quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir on the steep hillsides above Talley Farms. Don planted a small test plot in 1982. Over time the varietal and clonal selections were refined and planting expanded to a total of 165 acres in the Arroyo Grande and Edna Valleys.
Talley Vineyards produced its first wine in 1986 with the production of 450 cases. Today the third generation, Brian and Johnine Talley, own and operate Talley Vineyards. Producing only Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays fromtheir vineyards, the Talleys have put Arroyo Grande on the wine map. Their goal is to produce distinctive wines of consistently high quality that best express the unique character of each of the Talley family's six vineyard sites in the two valleys.
Talley's wines are highly regarded for their character and balance. The vineyard specific Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs are frequently singled out by wine writers for their reflection of the vineyard where they were grown. The wines are full-bodied, rich in fruit and exceptional in their pairing with food.

Musicians tend to like it when they don't have to look over their shoulder at The Man.
Problem is, if that shoulder happens to need rotator cuff surgery, The Man isn't around to help.
And that's why Alvon Johnson and a swarm of musicians gather their talents for a Health & Wellness Blues Fair fund-raiser Sunday at Winterhawk Winery in Fairfield.
It's somewhat of a family affair as Johnson's other half, Karen Richards, is the health care facilitator securing doctors and others to provide screenings and education.
It comes on the heels of the Affordable Health Care Act, and, said Johnson, it's an opportunity to provide information.
Proceeds from the $25 cover (that includes wine tasting and appetizers) benefit the Golden Gate Blues Society, which assists musicians in need, Johnson said.
Other musicians expected include Sean McGroarty, Don Bassey, Raymond Victor, Terrie Odabi, Wendy DeWitt, Stabe Wilson, Stan Erhart, Matt Applin, Matty T, and Nicholas Bearde.
Vacaville's McGroarty, a member of the Used Blues Band along with Victor, agreed to perform "because a lot of musicians I know, probably 35 percent, don't have health insurance. The other reason is that many of the musicians I know probably don't take as good care of themselves as they should.
"So, having health screening tests available to them might help encourage them to do more about their health. There will be a lot of great music happening that day so it will draw a lot of good musicians to the event and expose them to some health care options."
Often times, noted the sax-playing Wilson, "musicians don't take care of themselves because very few have health benefits from being a musician. Don't get me wrong, there are many musicians who do have health benefits through their music gigs -- The Tonight Show Band, The Voice Band or Dancing With The Stars Band, for example. Sometimes their spouses carry them on their plans which afford them health coverage."
Still, added Wilson, "the life of a musician can be physically taxing on the human body if you don't take care of it through preventative medicine and a healthy lifestyle, two things that are often not afforded to the working musician."
Wilson believes that 75 to 80 percent of the musicians he works with don't have medical insurance unless covered by a spouse via their jobs.
"This is a great event because it allows the working musician the opportunity to come out and get a health wellness check, perform a little as well as sample some good wine which is good for the body and the soul. Hopefully it will raise the awareness in the musical community for the need to obtain health insurance and to also to be evaluated by certified medical staff."
Though Bassey has Kaiser and VA coverage, he empathizes with other musicians.
"Considering that the average club date still pays about the same as it did thirty years ago, you can imagine how difficult it could be to squirrel away enough money to afford a decent health care plan," he said.
The Golden Gate Blues Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit affiliate of The Blues Foundation, based in Memphis, Tenn. The purpose of The Golden Gate Blues Society is to enhance the appreciation and understanding of the Blues, especially in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, according to the nonprofit's web site.

UK quartet Alt-J doesn't want us to define them. In fact, at first it seemed as if they didn't want us to find them or figure them out, thanks to what seemed an unsearchable band name—a triangle or delta sign, ∆, pronounced alt-j (after the keyboard shortcut which creates a triangle on a Mac)—along with a curious aversion to the camera and an unself-conscious desire to color outside the lines of genre, all of which shaded them mysterious and perhaps a tad pretentious. Despite the building buzz surrounding their title and genre name games (which they reluctantly once tagged "trip-folk"), the band has quickly risen above the hype as a genuine bands to watch in 2012. The former fine art students met and formed the band (originally named FILMS until a case of mistaken identity with US band The Films) at Leeds University in 2007 and have since succeeded in earning comparisons to Radiohead (a noted influence), nabbing tour time with Ghostpoet and Wild Beasts, and basking in glowing reviews for their debut album, An Awesome Wave.
Their debut intricately entangles multiple musical genres—folk verses, trip-hop atmosphere, pop catchiness, indie rock quirk, rock rattling bass, hip-hop beats, electronic heavy synth riffs—and interweaves it with heartbreakingly intimate lyrics, peppered with film and literary references including shout-outs to Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are and Luc Besson's Léon. The tale is told with an unexpected urgent sensuality, poetic vulnerability, and an accessible eccentricity that ultimately proves to be the fruitful listening experience music critics have so fervently promised. The band is currently touring the UK and will be playing the festival circuit this summer.
We talked to frontman Joe Newman, as his train chugged along through England, about sinister love song "Breezeblocks," having a crush on Baby Spice, and whether or not their interest in triangles could result in an unwanted Illuminati conspiracy theory (à la Jay-Z's Roc Nation triangle symbol).
HOMETOWN: Cambridge, UK
ON THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK OF AN AWESOME WAVE: We can't get over it. It's been an amazing thing for people to like your album—not only fans, but experts to say really nice things—that's just another level. We're amazed but it's brilliant.
SONGWRITING PROCESS: Part of the reason [the album] is accessible is because we don't try to go out of the box or be innovative. We just try to play music we like to hear and we're kind of absentmindedly sounding like no other band at the moment. It's not something we're aware of, just something we're told. We work very hard, and in some cases we spend years on songs trying to get it right—refining it, picking things out and changing things around. I think because we were all friends before we were musicians, we naturally understand one another. We're on the same wavelength which is why we end up sounding okay.
NO LABELS: Our mission is not to create a new genre. We're not interested in trying to define ourselves. We don't like people trying to figure out what our music sounds like, nor do we feel like we do that for them. We're just happy writing music, and now we're lucky enough to do that hobby professionally. Apparently, people thought that we coined the term "folk step," but none of us said anything about "folk step." We're not into branding what we do.
CURRENT SINGLE "BREEZEBLOCKS": The song is about liking someone who you want so much that you want to hurt yourself and them, as well. We related that idea to Where the Wild Things Are, which we all grew up reading, where in the end the beasts say "Oh, please don't go! We'll eat you whole! We love you so!," that they would threaten cannibalism to have that person—it's a powerful image. Our video for this track has a really different message, and yet it worked really well with the song. It's quite a weird one; people aren't sure what's going on. We liked that you might have to go back and watch it a second time to figure out what is happening.
FINDING HIS VOICE: My dad is a singer, and I always grew up listening to him. I was probably mimicking my dad's voice, because it's the only thing I had to go on, but then I started doing it more and more on my own. There was no time that I can remember where it was like "Okay, this is my voice;" it was more trial and error for a long, long period of time. When I got to university, I decided I should engage in the uni experience, meet people and do things I wouldn't ordinarily do, so I started singing in front of people. I don't put it on in any way—what you hear is just how I like to sing, that's my comfort zone. There's no pretense. It just feels good.
EARLY MUSICAL INFATUATION: I could not get enough of the Spice Girls. Every time we went on holiday to Cornwall, from the ages eight to ten, my Spice Girls tape would just be on repeat. Seriously, it's probably in my top five albums of all time, just because it's so, so good. [laughs] Emma Bunton [Baby Spice] was my favorite. I don't think I've ever had as big a crush as I had on her. I wasn't a boy who had posters in his room, but I had a poster of her. I think she's still the love of my life. [laughs] Just for the record, I suppose my crush has died out. I suppose I could live without Emma Bunton...
ON ∆S AND BAND NAMES: We're not particularly obsessed with the shape. There's our song "Tessellate" where there is a line, "Triangles are my favorite shape"—it was a suitable line to say in the context of the song. The song was about tessellations and triangles fit really well together. We only really chose Alt-J because it was a name we could all agree on. We had to change our name because we were originally called FILMS but there is an American band named The Films. We spent a month and half trying to figure out what this new name should be and we were really getting desperate to decide, and we didn't have to compromise on this one, we all liked it.
JAY-Z AND THE ILLUMINATI CONSPIRACY THEORY: IS THE USE OF A ∆ TOO RISKY?: Oh yeah, there is a definitely a strong Illuminati connection [referring to their own triangle preference]. All of us are pretty interested in the Illuminati and tearing it down from the inside; it's why we're called Alt-J, really. [laughs] We're in cahoots with Jay-Z. He's sitting next to me on the train. [laughs]
THE IDEAL SCENARIO TO EXPERIENCE ALT-J'S MUSIC: There is a scenario that I always thought I would love to listen to any track of my choice—originally it wasn't an Alt-J song, it was DJ Shadow's "Blood on the Motorway," but I'll replace it with an Alt-J song, like, "Fitzpleasure." You go to the top of a skyscraper and you have headphones taped onto your ears so that they don't fall out... when you jump off the skyscraper. As you jump a comet hits—say we're in New York—hits New York, Deep Impact-style, and a wall of rubble like a tidal wave ten times bigger than the skyscraper you're falling from, comes toward you as you're falling to your death and it captures you before you hit the ground. That would be good.
WHAT'S NEXT: We're touring and playing festivals. We actually are coming to America at the end of the summer. I don't know if it's official, but we're definitely coming to America. Definitely New York. I should stop saying 'definitely' because I don't know for sure. [laughs] We're looking forward to just playing a lot. We haven't played that many festivals. We just want to play in the sun.

My latest frustration is with the different sizes of cupcake pans, mostly with "minis". I recently ordered a bulk amount of liners for my mini pans. My purple liners were slightly too big but ended up working out well. I just opened the brown ones and they are way too big for what I call my mini pan (top diameter: 1 3/4 in, wall: 3/4" and bottom diameter 1 1/8"). They actually fit a pan that my mom had. This one is a mini calphalon pan (bott 1 1/2 " diameter, wall 1" and top 2"). What do you use for your mini cupcakes? The smaller pan I have is great for when we do events and need to pass out samples but I think the larger pan is closer to what bakeries sell as mini. Any thoughts?
I have the William Sonoma gold touch mini pans. They are super mini. I ended up ordering from qualitapaper. I think the minimum order is $50. If you want I can look back at just what size I ordered. I did a lot of measuring and remeasuring.

What is the difference being in a hospital bed during the day and being in the hospital at night. You are receiving treatment. So there should be no charge for the bed during the day but it is ok to charge at night. I dont work for a motel or a hospital but I think charging for the bed is reasonable.
superman Dec 21, 2012
If you are in a bed you need to pay. Most motels have gotten away from renting rooms by the hour. Do you have any idea as to the hundreds of people who go to the hospital and cant pay anything? They have to charge enough from the rich in order to care for the poor.
kurtsdollarbill Dec 20, 2012
Bill I guess no one will be punished or fired at Wake Med because you knew what was taken place you crook!! I hope other insurance groups follow and uncover shady billing practices in this hospital. The punishment should be pd by Mr Bill and his high bonus needs to come to a end.
lumberman Dec 20, 2012
Wake Med must be alot like UBS to big to jail. Just get your money back plus some and everything will be ok. But I bet if that was me who stole that kind of money I would be going to jail.
weasel2 Dec 20, 2012
Must be nice to just pay your way out of going to jail.
tran Dec 20, 2012
The moral of the story is if you're going to steal, steal big.
Wake1 Dec 20, 2012
Wonder if other large hospitals are doing the same thing? After all, if it's due to complex Medicare rules, then either the billing folks at other hospitals are smarter or they are doing it too? What say ye Bill??
TomInWakeForest Dec 20, 2012
Another example of no accountability. Isn't it amazing how clearly people see the need to educate differently and administer differently AFTER they are caught doing wrong?! Where was all this clear thinking while the wrongs were being done? Accountability has to live somewhere ... seems pretty hard to find at Wake Med.
norskagent Dec 20, 2012
How else did you expect WakeMed to pay for all those "heart care" and "cancer care" radio and TV ads they are constantly pumping out?
are you kidding me Dec 20, 2012
I am sure it is not a fun house in Accouting...but on the floor you have "slow walkingit."...nurses and cna's for the most part are moving...just do not be in the way when cafetaria opens...plenty of ways to lower costs and cutting ceo wages
lsdhome Dec 20, 2012
If I had presided over such shoddy billing practices in the public agency I headed, I would have been canned within the hour.
itlsss Dec 20, 2012
Mistake my rear! If it was truly random errors there would have been some UNDERCHARGES.
whoodathunk Dec 19, 2012
I've seen WakeMed warehouse an accident patient from the ER with a bogus admission overnight -- and charge $30,000 for it. That was after horrible service, with multiple errors and failure to provide basic care that I could have done better at home with a bottle of peroxide and some bandages. Someone needs to go to prison, not just pay back millions they steal only when they get caught. When are prosecutors going to realize this? Instead prosecutors go after drug possession. They were caught red-handed. Where is justice? What about tax payers and folks who need medical care who won't get it because our society can't afford it due to these cheaters?
rushbot Dec 19, 2012
White collar crime evidently is not too risky, I guess..no jail!!!
soyousay Dec 19, 2012
..The wakemed board..
Has been grromed by Atkinson since he got there. Even with the embarassing public debacle in front of legislature over Rex, even when he single handedly lost Wake Heart...the Board paddles along
rushbot Dec 19, 2012
They should make them give up Rex Hospital as punishment. Sell it to Duke medicine..
northern-transplant Dec 19, 2012
As if their rates weren't ridiculous now (compared to others), you know the patients are the one's that are going to pay for this.
undean Dec 19, 2012
This would be a great opportunity for the WakeMed board to make some changes in upper management to help restore the public's confidence and move in a new direction. If people KNEW about the fraud and did nothing, they should be sacked. If they DIDN'T know they obviously weren't minding the store, and should be sacked anyway. Seems like this level of fine is too severe to continue with business as usual. Otherwise, it's only a matter of time until the next investigation.
Rebelyell55 Dec 19, 2012
As someone menition, they take in those who have no insurance or medicare or medicaid. so they justified what they do to cover those cost. Which just happen to be the same excuse they use for charging some 35.00 for an asprin.
undean Dec 19, 2012
This is a black mark on what used to be one of the best hospitals in the state. I left to work for another facility because it seemed like the administration was becoming too focused on cutting corners and quick fix solutions. You can bet Ray Champ would've never let this go on as long as it did.
soyousay Dec 19, 2012
The information is straight from the settlement..they were falsifying MD orders to squeeze another buck Management knew it and by their own admission so did the execs. Who cares how sm.all a per,centage they "seetled to pay for...how much did they cost the taxpayers..how about insurers?
jrfergerson Dec 19, 2012
This is just about as bad a the EMS service that takes a round about trip (the long route) to take a patient to the hospital. From our home it is 12 miles to the nearest hospital. yet as I followed the EMS vehicle to the hospital I thought why are they takeing a route that is 26 miles. I found out when the bill came. THEY BILL THE PATIENT PER MILE FOR THE TRIP. What a bunch of thieves.
The Last Basselope Dec 19, 2012
Where do you people get your information?! Let's look at this reasonably...$8 million over, more than likely, a several year period. WakeMed is a $1 BILLION per year healthcare system. That means the error rate is likely 0.4% over a two year period. Anyone who has dealt with Medicare billing knows the ambiguities in the regulations. If Medicare wants to stop "errors" in billing, they need to clearly define inpatient verses outpatient services. The regulations do not have a clear definition. How many people realize Medicare patients have to pay a larger portion of the bill if they are an outpatient?
To those that say WakeMed should be prohibited from serving Medicare/Government patients...WakeMed, and other hospitals, would benefit from that. Fact is, Hospitals lose money on Medicare patients, unfortunate as that is.
By the way, to the person who stated Rex Healthcare does not accept Medicare patients unless you go to the ED, you couldn't be further from the truth.
flack222 Dec 19, 2012
I'm sure they were hoping to pay for that helicopter/lawn ornament they have sitting there out front.
soyousay Dec 19, 2012
Luv...you missed the poiint entirely..
They falsified ordered. They billed for beds that were empty..it wasn't the slip of a key stroke. Mangers knew..you bet after the subpoenas....yes subpoenas....read the article ..they were in full damage control mode
Wacky_dood Dec 19, 2012
"Some mistakes were made.... luvbailey"
Not according to Wake Med and the US Attorney. Wake Med admitting being guilty of Medicare fraud. That's not a mistake. It's criminal activity, hence the US Attorney's involvement.
Rebelyell55 Dec 19, 2012
Since they are settling for this amount, it pretty good bet they did something wrong and knew about it. The hospital in Southern Pine is just as bad. They sent out billing knowing they're not suppose too. But if they get extra money, they keep trying, because I'm sure there are older folks who pay it. It'a calculated risk that most HMO are doing.
Wacky_dood Dec 19, 2012
The article states: "Investigators said WakeMed routinely billed Medicare for inpatient stays by people who had undergone cardiac treatments, even if they were discharged the same day as the treatment and never spent a night in the Raleigh hospital. Physician orders to discharge patients also were frequently overwritten so Medicare could be billed, according to federal court documents."
That, ladies and gentlemen, is fraud. They intentionally changed discharge orders to make outpatient visits look like inpatients. That doesn't sound like a mistake to me.
In my opinion, ti is willful. The clear intent was to steal from Medicare.
I don't want to hear excuses about the complexity of billing. It's irrelevant. They willfully manipulated visits to get charge higher rates. The fact nobody is going to prison is outrageous.
Walkin Man Dec 19, 2012
If this hospital is doing it, you can bet there are a lot more of them out there. If they want to keep the costs of Medicare down, start with providers and hospitals who over bill.
luvbailey Dec 19, 2012
I have one thing to say to all you people calling for jail time, greater fines, and barring Wake Med from future Medicare work: GET REAL. Wake Med is a giant operation. They serve thousand of patients each year and process hundreds of thousands of transactions (codings). Some mistakes were made. The mistakes have been found, acknowledged and monetary renumeration, including significant penalties, have been paid. Additional training to prevent this in the future had been set up. So as Barney would say, "All right people, nothing to see here, let's move on."

Esser you are wro g. Doctors admit to hospital....and a hospital doesnT redirect at that point. EDs take medicare.. EVERY hospital that even takes a whiff of federal money takes Medicare

At the least it gave a few people jobs the auditors and investigators Now unless potential fraud they will be standing down at the unemployment lines

Have you tried it yet?
Rex will only take a Medicare patient if it's an emergency situation. Otherwise, they point you towards the nearest WakeMed facility.

rachel - "its a very interesting game dealing with the government-the reimbursement is awful and the codes and amounts paid change constantly, plus after they change the rules, they can back and edit you based on the new changes-so it's real easy to run afoul of the government..."
I work at a grocery store, and we see that on a very small scale with WIC - what a person can buy one week is suddenly verbotten the next. It's hard to keep up with, so I can fully understand.
However, if someone somewhere can prove intention to fraud, someone should be sitting in a FEDERAL jail thumbing through a phone book for a good attorney.

Not defending them....
Then don't. They knew excatly what they were doing. If "overwriting" MD orders was policy then this endemic and a whole lot more than medicare fruad. Atkinson should finally go. The insurance companies don't get to investigate like this and you can bet they were gouged too. Any surpise Wake Heart didn't want to deal with him!
soyousay Dec 19, 2012
Atkinson stacked the Board over the last few years. He AND his exec team and the CFO will keep their jobs and bonuses
rhess2 Dec 19, 2012
The Medicare billing fraud at Wake Med didn't just happen by osmosis. There had to be administrator(s) and/or employees involved. Yet nobody working at the Hospital was prosecuted or fired. If I were the president and chief executive at Wake Med I most certainly would want to know and fire those involved. Of course, unless I myself was involved.
rachel Dec 19, 2012
its a very interesting game dealing with the government-the reimbursement is awful and the codes and amounts paid change constantly, plus after they change the rules, they can back and edit you based on the new changes-so it's real easy to run afoul of the government-the CEO has to take responsibility for the mistakes, its part of his job-it doesn't mean he ordered or abetted the billing department making mistakes-
Thought Criminal WS Dec 19, 2012
I don't see anyone in the comments NOR in the article point something out... this is how MOST hospitals manage the cost of those without or under insured who NEED treatment. They bill the previous patient and passed the services on to the needy. It's a wink wink nudge nudge situation - what Obamacare is SUPPOSED to address (but doesn't).
No one will see jail time because they do this to HELP the needy and the POOR. People put themselves at risk to help others, which is why a BLIND EYE will be turned. There is no benefit to the people committing the fraud other than helping others in need.
If you think WakeMed is the only place this happens, you're in unicorn land. EVERY hospital does this on some level or another, be it "wasting" meds or mistakes that open services to others.
Now ask, who gets the $$$ from the fine?
notanutcase Dec 19, 2012
rlsmith - "They should lose ability to do government service for two to three years at least."
They're about the only hospital in the area that will take elderly Medicare patients, so I'm not for that idea at all.
Not defending them but they do a stupendous amount of charity care for the elderly patients and for the uninsured. Billing is very tedious thanks to the way different codes are changing constantly. WakeMed does not set those codes, the insurance company does and those codes are extremely confusing and to try to get an accurate answer from any insurance company is even worse. Insurance companies pass the buck and if their employees give inaccurate coding information that is where the problem possibly starts. Go ahead complain, but when you need someone to take care of you I'm sure I will see you sitting at WakeMed somewhere!

Wait, how is it possible Dr. Bill Atkinson keeps his job when he knowingly and willing admits fraud under his watch?

Please just take a moment and try to think who would have benefited from the charges.

..."We always strive to submit accurate, compliant bills to patients, insurance companies, Medicaid and Medicare," Dr. Bill Atkinson, WakeMed president and chief executive, said..."
Well @ $8 MILLION bucks doesn't seem as if your "striving" department is quite up to snuff....!!!!!...Wonder HOW MANY patients get OVERCHARGED and then have their bills sent to collections because they can't pay the bogus bills......????????
davidk_at_unc Dec 19, 2012
"They should be able to charge for a bed if they in the hospital whether they spend the night or not. They were there in a bed." -- superman
Wrong, as usual. They weren't charged for a "bed", they were charged for "inpatient services", i.e. an overnight stay. Besides, where in the article does it say they were "in a bed"? I must of missed that part. Did they ever lie down during their visit? Most likely ... either in an OR or a recovery room, but I can pretty much guarantee you that WakeMed billed them for that already. You continue to amaze me!
radium Dec 19, 2012
Yea, they'll fix the problem by doing a better job of hiding their crimes, they won't change.
proverbial Dec 19, 2012
And for those who say the hospital should lose the "ability" to do govt services....they would love to! Medicare and Medicaid often do not reimburse enough to even cover cost! Hospitals are not simply permitted to see these patients, but are REQUIRED to see these patients.
radium Dec 19, 2012
And I will bet you a trillion dollars that those that ran this fraud are the staunchest enemies of Obama, want Medicare and Social security destroyed and voted Romney. Just like all the Republican governors that scream budget cuts while holding their arms open for the boat loads of cash they get from the "evil" Obama and his "socialist" government. The hypocrisy is unreal.

City Transportation Engineer Atul Patel explained that sharrows are not bike lanes. "They are simply a marking to guide bicyclists to the best place to ride and help motorists expect to see and share the lane with bicyclists."
The markings will be added to Menlo Avenue between El Camino Real and University Drive, and on University Drive between Middle Avenue and Santa Cruz Avenue, according to the city.
Installation is expected to take one day for each street; the roads will remain open to traffic during striping.
Mr. Patel estimated the installation cost at $9,000.

Ask a Vet and Get Your Veterinary Questions Answered.
Hello & welcome to Just Answer/Pearl. I am Dr. B, a licensed veterinarian and I would like to help you with your wee one today. I am so sorry to hear about Rambo's excruciating situation. Now if he is in this much pain, you are right to want to take steps in addressing it now. But I must say that while a bone tumor would be a definite suspect with these clinical signs, on their own they are not really enough to proceed with aggressive treatments like chemotherapy and amputation. This is because severe orthopedic pain at the level of the bone can be triggered by more then bone cancer like the osteosarcoma. It can also be induced by the chondrosarcoma, diffuse squamous cell caricomas of the bone's periosteum, synovial cell tumors of the joint and even some fungal diseases (ie coccidiodomycosis). And if we were to use chemo targeting the wrong cancer or if a fungal agent is to blame, we may see no improvement despite our treatment.
Therefore, in Rambo's situation, it would be prudent to use advanced diagnostics to identify which agent is to blame. To do so, you may consider discussing aspiration or biopsy of the bone. Typically, these procedures will require a sedation or anesthetic (since no dog likely people poking their sore bits). Once collected these samples can be sent to the veterinary pathologists and they can tell you if it is a tumor and which one it is. Once you know what is present, you will be in a much better position to address it properly with either chemo or surgical amputation to ensure the best chance of success for him.
In regards XXXXX XXXXX xrays, they are always a good idea when we are concerned about a malignant cancer being present. And if you did have him in for an biopsy, this would the perfect time to get an xray of the lungs to make sure there is no obvious spread already present. Furthermore, if xray has been unrewarding in pinpointing the potential cancer, then you might want to consider seeking referral to a specialist centre that can perform a CT or bone scan. This type of scan would allow you to appreciate if there is a potential cancer within the bone of this leg.
Overall, his signs are suspicious of an osteosarcoma but there are other considerations that could be to blame. Therefore, while your treatment approach would be reasonable, it would be best to know 'who' you were fighting before going down the treatment route. Therefore, it is worth a discussion with your vet about biopsies and chest xrays. Alternatively, if your vet doesn't think we have non-cancerous differentials to consider and the chest xray is clear, you could choose to amputate with a view of sending a bone sample for analysis. Because even after the leg is removed, chemo is often indicated and again it is very important to know what type of tumor is present so that the chemotherapy can be used as effectively as possible.
I hope this information is helpful.
If you need any additional information, do not hesitate to ask!
Dr. B.

At first, this new item evoked laughter for its absurdity. It seems the managements of several private schools in Kerala have advised women teachers to wear aprons or overcoats to avoid the stares of male students. This is after students took pictures of them with mobile cameras and uploaded them on popular social networking sites.
While the very image of teachers teaching in aprons/overcoats seems ludicrous and puritanical, the fact is there is genuine concern behind this advise. With the explosion of internet and social networking sites and little parental supervision, children are free to do what they want on the web. And sometimes, it can be unsavoury.
Somehow, the use of mobile phones to take pictures of teachers when their backs are turned, speaks volumes for the loss of innocence and respect. Of the blurring of lines between what should be sacrosanct and what is deviant behaviour. Of every woman being seen in sexual terms. This moral degradation is nothing new in today's times. We see it in politics, we see it in our daily lives. It's when it settles in the minds of children that there is cause for worry.
Today's teachers anyway have a tough time, what with the explosion of information, continuous assessments and constant vigil by managements and parents. To now be under scrutiny of immature and wayward students is the final nail in the coffin.
School managements, instead of asking them to cover up, should devise ways to prevent the use of mobiles in schools. Regulation and strict implementation will ensure more discipline. A fine should be imposed on children bringing mobiles to schools. Of course, they will find ingenious ways of beating the system, including hiding mobiles in tiffin boxes, etc.
Parents should be roped in to see that their wards keep electronic devices at home. More importantly, they should teach them to respect their teachers and elders from a young age.
Also, a few hours without mobiles shouldn't be difficult for students. But when children come to playgrounds showing off their latest iPhones, it's obvious that materialism has gripped their lives. And the blame lies with grown-ups for allowing it to infringe their lives.

I too started with the SPS tactical. It wasn't a bad decision at all. I like the short 20" barrel, and the weight isn't that big of an issue for me. There is a documented loss of velocity in the shorter barrels, but let's get real: 50-100 fps less velocity in a rifle that shoots 2600-2900fps isn't anything to loose sleep about. Accuracy is king, and these are 1/2 minute rifles. For the rail, I'd recommend the EGW 20 minute rail. You won't hurt a thing by going with a 20 minute over a 0. You just never know; you may find yourself on a longer range one day and that extra 20 minutes of come up will come in handy. (I hope to make it over to Ft. Knox one of these days).
On the 700 action and heavy barrel contour, I've found that the Burris XTR low rings work very well. For 1" tubes and a 40mm Objective, this leaves about 1/4" between the bell and the barrel. I started with a Bushnell Elite 3200 fixed 10X40. For hunting, it's just plain too much scope. You'd be best served with a lower magnification for hunting as you've already eluded to. 4x. 6x. For target, you gotta have a decent amount of power unless the reticle is just extremely thin. Find a good compromise with your budget. You can never spend too much money on glass, but again, let's get real. Most of us don't have budgets.
I upgraded my glass to a Vortex PST FFP 4-16X50 recently. In the field for deer, I left it at 4X and drilled two does just fine. For target, I leave it at 16. For the larger 30mm tube, again, the Burris XTR low rings fit just right on the same rail.
For the OP with two virgin rifles, I'd be tempted to buy two rails, and a QD scope mount setup. Why buy two mediocre scopes when you can buy a really good one and hot swap? I don't have two rifles so I haven't crossed that bridge yet. Anywho... here's what my SPS has become over the last 18 months...
Then there was camo...
For factory hunting ammo, I had my best luck with Federal 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip. But... every rifle is different. As has already been suggested, you're going to try several before you settle on one.

My foray into the world of technology transfer and technology commercialization was more a natural progression in my career, rather than a sudden, conscious decision. But an integral part of this transition was the WestLink Technology Commercialization Internship Program ( TCIP), which has had a tremendous impact and has given my career the direction and traction that it now possesses.
I graduated with a master's degree in organic chemistry from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, in 1988. However, I never practiced as an organic chemist. Instead, I worked as an analytical and method development chemist in South Africa for 3 years, before immigrating to Vancouver, Canada, in 1993.
Soon after arriving, I found employment with a private environmental laboratory. The work was boring and mundane, so it wasn't long before I sought greener pastures and more mentally stimulating work. I went on to become a research assistant in the wood science department at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Six months after I had started, my supervisor asked if I would like to do a Ph.D. in wood science. I agreed, after some hesitation, but 9 months after starting the Ph.D. I came to the realization that it was not the correct path for me to be going down. My career ambitions had expanded to horizons beyond those of laboratory work to the world of business. So, like many other people I know, I decided to pursue an MBA, as I felt it was likely to be more useful than a Ph.D. in accomplishing my career goal.
At around the same time I made this decision, I had the good fortune to meet a technology advisor from the National Research Council's Industrial Research Assistance Program ( NRC-IRAP). The NRC-IRAP is Canada's federal innovation assistance program for small and medium-sized Canadian enterprises. The advisor had a client who was trying to commercialize the production of western red cedar wood oil from cedar wood waste. Since my unfinished Ph.D. work involved western red cedar, the start-up company hired me through the IRAP program, at the recommendation of the advisor, to help them commercialize the production of western red cedar wood oil--hence, my introduction into the world of technology commercialization.
Need more information?
The Association of University Technology Managers Web site is one of the most useful for information about technology commercialization in Canada.
I continued to work for the company as their R&D manager, whilst studying for my MBA part time. In addition to my laboratory duties, I was responsible for writing a business plan for the company, as well as proposals for funding.
After I completed my MBA, I decided to further extricate myself from the laboratory environment and concentrate on gaining additional business experience. My hand was forced in this because, unfortunately, the cedar wood oil company was not successful in its endeavours.
However, most of my work experience had been in the laboratory, and my lack of business experience turned out to be a real impediment to my job search, which proved more difficult than I had anticipated, even with an MBA. Prospective employers were not satisfied with the limited and very general business experience I had gained to date. As time went by, I became more and more disillusioned with my lack of success in finding suitable employment with my MBA and chemistry background. Until, that is, the WestLink internship program came along.
When I first saw the advertisement for the TCIP in early February 2001, I instantly knew that it would be a perfect fit for me. I had a great deal of scientific knowledge, an MBA education, as well as limited and informal technology commercialization experience (from a scientist's perspective). What I lacked, however, was practical and "hands-on" business development and technology commercialization experience from a "business" perspective--and that is precisely what the program has provided me with.
The structure of the internship program is truly unique as it involves spending 8 months in each of the three areas that contribute to the technology commercialization process--a university technology-transfer office, business development in a high-tech company, and a venture capital company. Each area has a distinct focus, ensuring that technology commercialization is experienced from three different perspectives--from the birth of the technology at the university, through the development of the technology in the company, and finally, to the financing of the technology; a truly unique opportunity.
My first placement, at the UBC University-Industry Liaison Office, introduced me to the concepts of technology-transfer, patenting, and licensing issues. A university technology-transfer office first evaluates new technologies and makes decisions on whether to seek a patent. The office then decides on whether the technology is licensed out or instead becomes the platform for a spin-off company. UBC's technology-transfer office is one of the largest in Canada, receiving approximately 130 technology disclosures annually. It was a tremendous experience working for such an organization and with such a knowledgeable group of professionals.
My second placement was with a biotech company called Chromos Molecular Systems, where I was able to put into practice the principals of technology transfer that I had learned at UBC. I worked closely with the vice president of business development in identifying and supporting the corporate business development strategy. In addition, I participated in developing new business and licensing opportunities.
My third and final placement (which is still in progress) is with a venture capital firm, Pangaea Ventures. At Pangaea, I evaluate business opportunities, which includes reviewing business plans and technologies. In addition, I participate in structuring venture investments and developing term sheets. In venture capital, a term sheet is a document summarizing the details of a potential venture capital investment that serves as the basis for a final business agreement. Due to the fact that the venture capital community is so small, very few people have the privilege of experiencing life at a venture capital firm--and it is certainly very valuable experience indeed. It encompasses a completely different way of thinking and is often referred to, jokingly, as "the dark side."
All things considered, to say that the WestLink program was a turning point in my career would be an understatement. It has certainly changed the face of my career and provided me with an experience that very few people will ever have. Personally, it has given my career the direction that it had previously lacked, and the future of my career now seems a lot brighter than it did 2 years ago. And better yet, I am getting paid!

Man arrested for allegedly supplying gun used in shooting of 3-year-old Landover girl
LANDOVER, Md. (AP/WJLA) - Prince George's County Police have arrested a man they say aided a gunman who shot and killed a 3-year-old Landover girl.
Brian Ray Campbell, 24, of Landover, was being held without bond on charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter, accessory before the fact, and accessory after the fact.
Police told ABC 7 News that Campbell supplied the alleged shooter, 25-year-old Davon Antwan Wallace of Landover, with his gun and drove him away from the shooting scene.
Police are still searching for Wallace, who has a murder warrant out for his arrest. Authorities asked the public for help in finding him, and are offering a reward of up to $25,000.
The shooting happened Sunday on Forest Terrace in Landover, where police were called to a home there and found the wounded girl, identified as Knijah Amore Bibb. She was rushed to the hospital, where she died a short time later.
Police said Wallace knew a person who lives at the girl's home. They said he was involved in an altercation at the residence and returned to the home, firing shots into the home from outside. Investigators do not believe the girl was targeted.

Frog, Waving
On a rock in a river that rushes and glides
down a beautiful lonely mountainside
the last wild golden frog waves*
trying to attract himself a mate.
The biologist starts to daydream
as she walks along the mountain stream -
she remembers visiting this place before
there were frogs everywhere then, she's sure!
She wants to leave the frog here in its home
but she can't do that because she knows
to save it she has to take the frog away
from the deadly fungus coming this way.
The biologist feels there is so little hope
as she walks down the now less golden slope
to the frog hospital where lined up in cages
the last golden frogs sit quietly and wave.
* The male golden frog waves its front legs to warn off other males and to attract females.

text: Hello folks, I recently purchased some Rollei RPX 400 for occasions when I need something faster than Ilford Delta 100 wich is nowadays my main film in 120. However, I forgot to take with me the information sheet on a trip and when wondering how to expose it, I treated it similarly as I used to treat TriX and shot it at ISO 250 (or 320 for one roll). Now that I looked at the charts on Maco's website as well as in the Massive Dev Chart, there are only times for films shot at iso 400 and higher and I am wondering how shoudl I develop my rolls... I have currently at hand Rodinal, D76, Perceptol (I think) and some Beutler. And Moersch Tanol which I use for my LF negatives. Could you please help me with any suggestions? Thanks very much! A.

Jon Lovitz fulfilled the dreams of many a TV viewer last week by beating the tar out of irritating roustabout Andy Dick at a comedy club, the New York Post's Page Six says.
Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada, who saw the fight, said, "Jon picked Andy up by the head and smashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood started pouring out of his nose." Lovitz told the paper, "All the comedians are glad I did it because this guy is a (bleep)hole."
The throwdown stemmed from an incident at an L.A. restaurant last year, when Dick went to Lovitz's table and said "I put the 'Phil Hartman hex' on you — you're the next one to die." (This refers to the fact that the aptly named Dick offered Hartman's wife Brynn cocaine at a party in 1997 after she had been clean for 10 years. Five months later, Brynn shot and killed Phil and then herself.)
Then Lovitz and Dick ran into each other last Wednesday at the Laugh Factory. "I wanted him to say he was sorry for the 'Phil Hartman hex,' " Lovitz told the Post. "First he says, 'I don't remember saying that.' Then he leans in and says, 'You know why I said it? Because you said I killed Phil Hartman.' Which I never said. Then he asked me to be in his new movie. I grabbed him by the shirt and leaned him over and said, 'I don't want to be in your movie! I don't want to be in your life!' I pushed him against the rail. Then I pushed him again really hard. A security guard broke it up. I'm not proud of it ... but he's a disgusting human being."

BAYONET POINT — Joseph Prudente's homeowners association told him to resod his shabby lawn. He didn't do it. Then a judge told him. He still didn't do it. So the 66-year-old went to jail for a couple of days.
The first article about this ran in Saturday's St. Petersburg Times. Another one ran Monday.
But at least as interesting as the stories themselves was the response they spawned. Neighbors helped make his lawn green again. The media interest was wide. And the outrage? It was unabashed.
The judge's assistant got calls Monday she called "ugly."
Beacon Woods Civic Association president Bob Ryan was expecting feedback. He was even expecting negative feedback. What he was not expecting, he said, were the e-mails "wishing me AIDS and cancer."
This story seemed to throw open a window into the national feelings of hopelessness and anger in these times of economic uncertainty.
"Everyone's having a hard time now," said Andy Law, one of the neighbors who led the resodding effort. "There's a lot worse things going on right now than brown lawns.
"What are we coming to," he asked, "when we're putting our senior citizens in jail for having a brown lawn?"
For Prudente, a retired registered nurse from Long Island, his choice was this: keeping his house or keeping his lawn nice.
He bought his one-story, four-bedroom home in 1998 for $127,500. He and his wife live off Social Security and his pension, and he's three months behind on his mortgage, which recently went up $600 a month, he said. His daughter and her two children recently moved in with them because they were having hard times. More mouths to feed.
"Right now," he said Monday, "my lawn is not my priority."
It's important to note here that Prudente did not go to jail for having a brown lawn. He went to jail because he didn't obey a judge's order.
But all this did start with the grass.
Beacon Woods has more than 2,000 homes and almost 600 condos. About 6,000 people live there. They pay $252 a year in homeowners association fees.
Some of the rules there are as follows: No above-ground pools, no trailers, no boats, no motor homes, no junk cars, no "noxious, noisy or offensive activity." No trampolines or tree houses. No chickens or cows. Also: "All yards and lawns shall be maintained in a neat and attractive condition." Beacon Woods rules say lawns shouldn't have more than 10 percent bare patches.
The association sent its first letter to Prudente almost a year ago. It gave him 30 days to respond.
Another letter gave him another 15 days to respond.
Then the association asked him to come to a mediation session.
So the association kicked it to the courts. That was in March.
Circuit Judge W. Lowell Bray signed a court order in May telling him to tend to his lawn.
That order said he had 30 days to do something about his lawn. May turned to June. June turned to July and then to August and then to September.
Bray found Prudente in contempt of court. He gave him another 30 days to resod. But this was his last chance. If he didn't do it this time? Jail.
Time was up on Friday.
Prudente turned himself in at the county jail in Land O'Lakes on Friday morning.
"If the gentleman finds himself in a difficult situation, obviously that's a shame," said Frank Rathbun, a spokesman for the Community Associations Institute, an organization that represents homeowners associations around the country. "But the associations have an obligation to enforce the rules that are in place to protect property values. What issue is bigger than property values today?
"What's more important than maintaining the appearance of a community?"
"The court isn't offended that his lawn is brown," said Paul Milberg, an attorney in Fort Lauderdale who represents the Community Advocacy Network, a group that works for homeowners associations. "The court is offended that it told him to do something and he didn't do it.
"Court orders do need to be enforced," Milberg added. "You want the court to be the bastion where disputes are resolved so that people don't take to the streets."
But public opinion was what it was. The story from Saturday was still the most-commented story on tampabay.com on Monday.
Ryan, the association president, got his first e-mail about it at 3 a.m. Saturday. It came from Boulder, Colo., and it was only the beginning of the vitriol. He said Monday that he had gotten about 75 e-mails. Two of them were in favor of him. The rest were not. They were mean, he said, and they were nasty.
Meanwhile, over at Prudente's house, the resodded lawn looked okay.
Times staff writers Molly Moorhead and Erin Sullivan contributed to this report. Michael Kruse can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or (727) 869-6244.

Shrimp enchiladas at El Chile in East Austin have nothing to do with, and have the advantage of tasting a lot better than, contraception.
How about this hilarious headline: "'Rhythm Method' May Kill Off More Embryos Than Other Methods of Contraception"? The corresponding post in Scienceblog quotes a dude identified only as Professor Bovens, who claims that the rhythm method, lovingly embraced by the Catholic church as the only Jesus-approved form of birth control, probably snuffs out way more embryos than the Pill.
Quoth the Professor, "[The rhythm method] may owe much of its success to the fact that embryos conceived on the fringes of the fertile period are less viable than those conceived towards the middle."
In other words, the rhythm method produces those darling, beloved embryos, all righty, and then, anti-American biological forces being what they are, kills'em as dead as a Pole eating ice cream during a papal visit. Condom use, on the other hand, kills a mere fraction of the millions of clumps of genetic material dispatched every year by these other, more "callous" forms of birth control. If this is true, well, nyah-nyah, Mr. Stupid Pope!
Thus, the mysterious Professor intimates that pro-lifers and other uterus police forces should be just as "nervous" about the rhythm method as they are about all the other ways sane people have devised in order that women may be freed from the shackles of compulsory pregnancy.

I have been thinking liposuction for a while. After having my 3rd child at 40 my body wasn't the same. I am 44 years old, 5'8" and 170 lbs. I work out regularly. I decided to do this for my birthday in February. I know that this is just the boost that my confidence needs. I am also getting a breast augmentation. I am excited and nervous has anyone else ever done this combination? How was it? How long did it take to heal? Im pretty nervous about the anesthesia and the recovery time. My PS, uses a method called "twilight" anesthesia that does not require intubation. its supposed to be a little easier to recover from. I'm having tumescent liposuction of my abdomen, love handles, flanks, and bra roll. So many of my girlfriends have done it and they are so happy.
My pre-op appointment is on December 27th I'm looking forward to being a part of this community. Thanks for any comments.
