EPA chief Scott Pruitt resigns amid scandals, citing ‘unrelenting attacks’

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt has resigned after months of ethics controversies, citing “the unrelenting attacks” on himself and his family, which “have taken a sizable toll on all of us.”

President Donald Trump first tweeted the news Thursday that Pruitt had resigned.

“I have accepted the resignation of Scott Pruitt as the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency,” Trump tweeted. “Within the Agency Scott has done an outstanding job, and I will always be thankful to him for this.”

Pruitt’s resignation follows months during which the EPA administrator has been embroiled in one ethics controversy after the next.

It also comes two days after an exclusive CNN investigation revealed a former top aide alleged Pruitt and his staffers held regular meetings to “scrub,” alter or remove controversial events from his calendar. That investigation sparked two Democratic congressman to call Thursday for the EPA inspector general to investigate whether Pruitt committed a federal crime.

Trump said on Twitter that Pruitt’s recently Senate-confirmed deputy Andrew Wheeler will on Monday assume the duties of acting administrator of the EPA.

“I have no doubt that Andy will continue on with our great and lasting EPA agenda. We have made tremendous progress and the future of the EPA is very bright!” Trump tweeted.

On Air Force One en route to Montana later Thursday, Trump voiced support for Pruitt, saying the allegations against his EPA head did not bother him but he accepted the resignation because Pruitt believed they had become a distraction.

“There was no final straw,” Trump said. “Scott is a terrific guy. He came to me and he said, ‘Look, I have such great confidence in the administration. I don’t want to be a distraction.’ ”

Trump said Pruitt had approached him about resigning “a couple of days” prior and that the decision was “very much up to” Pruitt.

Asked if there was anything about the accusations against Pruitt that troubled him, the President said, “No.”

“He’ll go on to great things,” Trump said. “He’s going to have a wonderful life, I hope.”

Cloud over Pruitt

An ethics cloud hung over Pruitt for months, as lawmakers from both parties, environmental groups and government watchdogs raised questions about his spending, housing arrangements, security team and raises for political appointees.

Pruitt’s resignation letter to Trump offered regret about leaving the role, but said “unrelenting attacks” had taken a toll.

“It is extremely difficult for me to cease serving you in this role first because I count it a blessing to be serving you in any capacity, but also, because of the transformative work that is occurring,” Pruitt wrote. “However, the unrelenting attacks on me personally, my family, are unprecedented and have taken a sizable toll on all of us.”

He added, “My desire in service to you has always been to bless you as you make important decisions for the American people. I believe you are serving as President today because of God’s providence. I believe that same providence brought me into your service. I pray as I have served you that I have blessed you and enabled you to effectively lead the American people.”

Two EPA officials told CNN they found out about Pruitt’s resignation from Trump’s tweet and had no idea the news was coming.

Pruitt had lost the confidence of many career and political EPA appointees, but many of those eager to see him go had begun to lose hope that he would resign or be pushed out by the President.

“Still in shock to be honest,” one EPA official told CNN. “Incredible that he lasted as long as he did.”

All told, Pruitt left EPA having faced more than a dozen inquiries or reviews into his practices at the agency, including his first-class plane travel, a room that he rented from a lobbyist at $50 per night and the installation of a soundproof booth in his office.

A spokesman for the EPA’s Office of Inspector General told CNN that ongoing or pending reviews of Pruitt will continue, even though he has resigned.

“Any ongoing or pending OIG reviews related to the Administrator and/or his team will continue—regardless of the Administrator’s resignation,” the spokesman said.

But at the same time, Pruitt was one of the most effective implementers of the President’s agenda. Coming into office as a critic of EPA and a climate skeptic, Pruitt moved aggressively to scale back Obama-era moves on climate change, automobile pollution standards and other industrial pollutants.

As recently as June 8, Trump praised Pruitt, telling reporters on the South Lawn of the White House that the EPA administrator was “doing a great job within the walls of the EPA,” and that “we’re setting records.”

“Outside, he’s being attacked very viciously by the press. I’m not saying that he’s blameless, but we’ll see what happens,” Trump said then, and didn’t answer a reporter who asked if Trump was “tired’ of Pruitt.

Pruitt was also involved in some intra-administration maneuvering this spring when he urged Trump to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions and install Pruitt as the head of the Department of Justice, according to three sources.

But as summer unfolded, the amount of pressure on Pruitt began to near its breaking point as former staffers came forward to air their concerns and accusations about the EPA chief. Former aide Kevin Chmielewski told CNN that Pruitt and his staff kept “secret” calendars and schedules to hide controversial contacts with industry representatives and The Washington Post and The New York Times revealed aspects of testimony Pruitt aides gave to Congress about the EPA administrator enlisted them for personal errands.

Turn to the right

Pruitt, an Oklahoma Republican, came to the job as one of the EPA’s chief critics and was seen as someone philosophically at odds with the agency Trump tapped him to run.

While serving as Oklahoma’s attorney general, Pruitt was one of the chief architects of the legal battle against Obama’s climate change policies and repeatedly sued the agency. He described himself in his biography for that job as “a leading advocate against the EPA’s activist agenda.”

Critics of Pruitt’s nomination drew on his past statements to label him as a “climate skeptic,” a term for someone who denies the scientific link between human activity, climate change and associated impacts.

Along with Trump, who once said that “global warming was created by and for the Chinese,” Pruitt oversaw the efforts to dismantle major climate regulations. Trump announced at the beginning of June last year that he would withdraw the US from the Paris climate accords.

Pruitt announced in October he would withdraw the Clean Power Plan, an Obama-era regulatory structure to limit greenhouse gas emissions on a state-by-state basis.

Inquiries and reviews into Pruitt’s practices at EPA

Pruitt incurred a sizable number of investigations into his spending and practices at EPA, including inquiries by the House, Senate, the EPA itself and the White House. Among them were inquiries into Pruitt’s travel practices, spending within the agency and use of email.

The EPA inspector general is reviewing all of Pruitt’s 2017 travel, which is expected to include multiple taxpayer-funded weekend trips that Pruitt took to Oklahoma, as well as official travel to Italy and Morocco. The inspector general told Congress in a May 2018 letter that he expects the review will be completed by the end of September.

A different EPA inspector general review involves Pruitt’s travel practices, suggesting that it will review Pruitt’s use of his round-the-clock security detail, which travels with him even when off-duty on family vacations.

Separately, South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy, the Republican who chairs the House Oversight Committee, has asked EPA to justify Pruitt’s use of first or business class seats on flights.

This spring, Gowdy said Pruitt was not forthcoming with records.

There are also multiple inquiries into Pruitt’s lease of a $50-a-night Capitol Hill condo in 2017 from lobbyist Vicki Hart. Hart’s husband, J. Steven Hart, who is also a lobbyist, met with Pruitt at the same time that he was leasing that room.

A review of EPA emails showed deeper ties between Pruitt and lobbyists, including that a family friend of those lobbyists was considered for a position at EPA.

Both the EPA inspector general and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) are reviewing an April 2017 meeting that Pruitt had with the National Mining Association regarding the Paris climate agreement, which critics said may have violated anti-lobbying laws.

GAO found in April that Pruitt’s installation of a $43,000 soundproof phone booth violated federal spending laws because EPA didn’t notify lawmakers that it exceeded the $5,000 limit for agency heads to improve their offices. Pruitt and other EPA officials said Pruitt used the booth to receive classified information and to talk with White House and other administration officials.

Several reviews have to do with Pruitt’s use of email. Senate Environment and Public Works Chairman John Barrasso, a Wyoming Republican, began looking into reports that Pruitt had four EPA email addresses, at least one of which was not disclosed. EPA’s inspector general said in May that it would review Pruitt’s use of multiple email accounts, at the request of Senate Democrats.

Compounding all of these bruising headlines have been semi-frequent accounts of Pruitt’s personal conduct and use of official resources. Reports included Pruitt wanting to use sirens to get to an upscale French restaurant in Washington, having security and aides help him find a preferred lotion and pick up a used mattress from the Trump hotel in Washington. The anecdotes offered ammunition for critics of the now-outgoing EPA chief as a creature of the swamp Trump promised to drain.

Bus rider tells woman in head scarf ICE should take her kids away

A woman wearing a Muslim head scarf on a New York transit bus going to Staten Island was subject to racial taunts from another passenger, according to a video posted to social media.

In the 30-second video, which begins and ends in the middle of the incident, a woman who identifies herself as Ashley tells the man recording on his cell phone: “I’m getting into a fight with some Muslim chick because she has an attitude. She thinks she has rights that she doesn’t have.”

It’s not clear from the video what sparked the altercation.

Marco Lao, who posted the video to Twitter and YouTube on Tuesday, said the woman in the head scarf had trouble getting her stroller on the bus and the other woman yelled at her.

The two argued, he said, but Lao found it hard to hear what the woman with the stroller was saying.

The screaming woman began to spew Muslim stereotypes, and told the woman in the head scarf that “ICE should take her kids away,” he said.

Lao said he thinks at one point the Muslim woman told Ashley, “You’re an immigrant, too.”

After he began recording, Ashley yelled at the woman, claiming she is not a citizen and cannot speak English. The woman says something that cannot be understood from the recording.

“Immigration at the door,” Ashley yells. “Oh wait, is that ICE? Oh, mama, they here for you.”

The video ends abruptly, but, according to Lao, the bus driver intervened over the intercom and the situation was defused.

He said the Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus was headed from Manhattan to Staten Island. The New York Police Department said they had no information on the incident. The MTA said they are aware of the video and are looking into it.

Lao said he doesn’t know either of the two women involved.

Munster spearheads Storm NRL win over Dogs

Mar 10th, 2018
Mar 10th, 2018

Melbourne have begun the post-Cooper Cronk era with a Cameron Munster-led 36-18 win over a gutsy Canterbury in Perth.

Despite a summer of unwanted headlines about errant behaviour, Munster starred in front of 38,824 fans on Saturday night at Optus Stadium.

After Billy Slater's shoulder injury forced Craig Bellamy to shift him from the halves to fullback, Munster set up two tries in nine minutes late in the second half which proved decisive.

He also came up with a try-saver on Danny Fualolo before throwing a cut-out pass for Suliasi Vunivalu's try which put the icing on the cake for the premiers.

There were positive signs for new Dogs coach Dean Pay with star recruit Kieran Foran displaying form of old after two injury-affected years.

Playmaker-turned-fullback Moses Mbye was outstanding in his first outing in the No.1 jersey, although he did come up with a costly error which led to Josh Addo-Carr racing 85m to score.

Young Storm halves Ryley Jacks and Brodie Croft had mixed outings - both kicking out on the full in the first half - however Munster took control of the contest.

The scores were level at 12-12 midway through the first half before Munster put his stamp on the game.

First he burst through the line to send a flying Addo-Carr between the posts before laying on a four-pointer for Kenny Bromwich.

Matt Frawley's try after the break reduced the Storm's lead to just six points, but Addo-Carr snatched the ball from Mbye's grasp for a runaway try and his second of the night.

Former Bulldogs front-rower Sam Kasiano also made his Storm debut.

Bellamy described the victory as scrappy and praised Munster for changing the course of the match.

"He didn't have a touch for a while but when he did he caused some problems," Bellamy said of his No.1

"He's a very, very talented player. And it doesn't matter what position he plays, he's always going to have an impact. I thought he was on our best for us tonight and probably turned the game for us."

Pay said while there was a lot to like about their first-up effort, there was plenty to improve on.

"I thought there were some positive signs there, Kieran was quite good, Moses was good at the back, I thought he played particularly well," Pay said.

"Ray Faitala-Mariner was good on the edge and played 80 minutes so there were some positive signs there."

About Tiffany & Co. (Designer)

Tiffany & Co. is one of the most prominent purveyors of luxury goods in the United States, and has long been an important arbiter of style in the design of diamond engagement rings. A young Franklin Delano Roosevelt proposed to his future wife, Eleanor, with a Tiffany ring in 1904. Vanderbilts, Whitneys, Astors and members of the Russian imperial family all wore Tiffany & Co. jewels. And Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis preferred Tiffany china for state dinners at the White House.

Although synonymous with luxury today, the firm started out rather modestly. Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young founded it in Connecticut as a “stationery and fancy goods emporium” in 1837, at a time when European imports still dominated the nascent American luxury market. In 1853, Charles Tiffany — who in 1845 had launched the company’s famed catalog, the Blue Book, and with it, the firm’s signature robin’s-egg blue, which he chose for the cover — shifted the focus to fine jewelry. In 1868, Tiffany & Co. gained international recognition when it became the first U.S. firm to win an award for excellence in silverware at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. From then on, it belonged to the pantheon of American luxury brands.

At the start of the Gilded Age, in 1870, Tiffany & Co. opened its flagship store, described as a "palace of jewels" by the New York Times, at 15 Union Square West in Manhattan. Throughout this period, its designs for silver tableware, ceremonial silver, flatware and jewelry were highly sought-after indicators of status and taste. They also won the firm numerous accolades, including the grand prize for silverware at the Paris Exposition of 1878. Among the firm’s glittering creations from this time are masterworks of Art Nouveau jewelry, such as this delicate aquamarine necklace and this lavish plique-à-jour peridot and gold necklace, both circa 1900.

When Charles Lewis Tiffany died, in 1902, his son Louis Comfort Tiffany became the firm’s design director. Under his leadership, the Tiffany silver studio was a de facto design school for apprentice silversmiths, who worked alongside head artisan Edward C. Moore. The firm produced distinctive objects inspired by Japanese art and design, North American plants and flowers, and Native American patterns and crafts, adding aesthetic diversity to Tiffany & Co.’s distinguished repertoire.

Tiffany is also closely associated with diamonds, even lending its name to one particularly rare and exceptional yellow stone. The firm bought the Tiffany diamond in its raw state from the Kimberley mines of South Africa in 1878. Cut to create a 128.54-carat gem with an unprecedented 82 facets, it is one of the most spectacular examples of a yellow diamond in the world. In a broader sense, Tiffany & Co. helped put diamonds on the map in 1886 by introducing the American marketplace to the solitaire diamond design, which is still among the most popular engagement-ring styles. The trademark Tiffany® Setting raises the stone above the band on six prongs, allowing its facets to catch the light. A lovely recent example is this circa-2000 platinum engagement ring. Displaying a different design and aesthetic (but equally chic) is this exquisite diamond and ruby ring from the 1930s.

One of the most famous children’s books of all time finally got a major motion picture adaptation, but reviews of the film are coming in spotty at best. A Wrinkle in Time, the 1962 novel by Madeleine L’Engle, had its debut on the big screen over the weekend, taking in roughly $33 million domestically. That’s a more-than-solid figure though not enough to dethrone Black Panther ($41 million domestically), which is first for a fourth straight week. Still, that top-two finish is historically significant, as both movies feature diverse casts and black directors. A Wrinkle in Time, directed by Ava DuVernay, stars Storm Reid as protagonist Meg, and she’s joined by Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Chris Pine, and Zach Galifianakis. While many reviews point out A Wrinkle in Time’s undeniable appeal to kids and its positive message of inclusion, they also make note that the movie itself isn’t all that great. CNN said: “Ava DuVernay's splashy adaptation seldom conjures the magic to which this big-screen exercise aspires—not a complete waste of time, certainly, but too mundane to provide a consistently good one.” Rotten Tomatoes critics assigned the flick a 42 percent fresh score, with the audience score coming in even lower at 34 percent. But Social is actually far more supportive: Over the past day, “Wrinkle in Time” has a 60 percent positive score. –Alex Shultz

    Knights Contract fulfilled on PS3, 360

    Namco Bandai confirms 17th-century action adventure has gone gold in time for February 22 launch date.
    While standard legal agreements may be written in ink, Namco Bandai has gone with gold for its latest contract. The publisher today announced it had completed development on the action adventure game Knights Contract for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

    Woo hoo, witchy woman.

    Knights Contract sees players following the unlikely duo of the witch Gretchen and the immortal executioner Heinrich. Though Gretchen actually died at Heinrich's hands, she has been resurrected and now controls the scythe-wielding warrior. Together the pair struggles to save the world from a "black spell of death" and a supernatural army called the Harmonculous.

    As Heinrich, gamers string together appendage-dismembering combos while the computer-controlled Gretchen uses her magic in a supporting role. Players will also be able to coordinate the pair's attacks by issuing mid-melee commands to Gretchen, as well as executing finishing moves. While Heinrich is invincible, players will need to protect the vulnerable Gretchen if they want to complete their quest.

    Knights Contract will be released in North America on February 22. For more on the title, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

TriCaster Advanced Edition - In Depth

TriCaster™ Advanced Edition allows you to take even greater creative control of your show—with no additional hardware. 60+ operator-centric capabilities grow your audience, elevate your brand standards, and help you save valuable time that can be spent on other in-show needs.

Advanced IP Workflow

Video Over IP
Send and receive real-time, low-latency, frame-accurate video over IP on a standard network infrastructure via the Network Device Interface (NDI) protocol, with any NDI-enabled device on the same LAN available as a video source or destination.
*Available Q4*

IP Source Selection
Access the inputs and outputs of NDI-enabled devices on the same network from any external input on the TriCaster switcher—dramatically increasing the amount of available video sources for any production.
*Available Q4*

IP Outputs
Distribute more video from your TriCaster system, supplying your choice of output signals, sub-mixes or individual sources to NDI-enabled devices with 4 fully configurable, IP video outputs.
*Available Q4*

Dante Audio Networking
Expand integration and IP workflow possibilities with audio input over the network from devices that use the Dante networking protocol from Audinate.

Audio Output Configuration
Dedicate output of Master and Aux audio mixes from TriCaster’s built-in audio mixer directly to external audio gear. With this revised configuration, Master and Aux are supplied to the first two analog output groups, respectively.

Audio Recording Options
Configure the captured audio source for each ISO recording with per-channel audio signal selection.

Default Media File Level
Reduce time spent individually configuring audio levels for non-native clips and sound files by assigning a preset level to all files added to media players.

The Difference Professional Lawn Maintenance Can Make

The Difference Professional Lawn Maintenance Can Make
on October 12, 2017 in Lawn Maintenance, Lawncare, Tree Service

Homeowners blessed with a lawn love the sight of green, luscious and immaculate turf all throughout the year. The sight of dull turf and a patched or diseased lawn fades away from their smile. Well! To keep the lawn healthy and green is not rocket science, but it requires regular maintenance schedules.

There certainly are a few DIY lawn maintenance techniques that help maintain the lawn. These techniques can also be used for regular maintenance once the lawn receives its nutritional balance from the pros to achieve that alluring green color of healthy turf. But it is important to consider possible threats like insect damage, weeds & temperature shocks that have the potential to ruin your beautiful yard. This is where professional lawn maintenance services prove to be beneficial. Not only this but there are other reasons as well that support the need to hire a professional lawn maintenance services. Nowadays there are many lawn maintenance companies in Charlotte NC, that are just a phone call away or can be hired at the click of a button.

# 1 Time
One of the primary reasons to hire professional lawn care services is the time factor. To take it up as a DIY task demands a lot of your time. Let’s make it simple by giving a time break up.
• Step one includes time spent researching, figuring out what exactly your lawn needs.
• Step two includes time invested on gathering various equipment, fertilizers, seeds etc.
• Step three will include the recurring weekly task of mowing the grass to maintain the crisp level.
Isn’t this a lot of time?

# 2 Protection from Lawn diseases
Seasonal issues like brown patches & other lawn diseases are a threat to the lawn. These diseases occur as per changes in the temperature. Brown patches usually occur in warm climatic conditions, dollar spots during winters and so on.
Regular lawn maintenance is the key to have control on such problems.

# 3 Expertise
No matter how much time you spend taking care of the lawn, there is no assurance that everything will be carried out perfectly. This may happen due to lack of experience, unavailability of necessary tools, wrongly chosen chemicals and so on. This is where expertise plays a vital role and guarantees great lawn health.

# 4 Cost
Lawn care companies have the potential to cut down on overhead costs as they take up work in volumes. In layman’s terms, it really is not convenient to buy equipment or rent it out every time you plan a lawn maintenance task. Hence, it is much more convenient and foolproof to hire professional lawn care services.

#5 Curb Appeal
Last but not the least; jobs done by professionals look better & results in adding to the curb appeal of your green landscape.
Based on the reasons mentioned above, hiring a lawn care company is a great way to gain better than average results with minimum efforts.

Learn How to Avoid FQHC Billing Roadblocks

Learn How to Avoid FQHC Billing Roadblocks

Overcome billing challenges with processes that pave the way to a healthy revenue cycle.

Federally qualified healthcare centers (FQHCs) are taking on a more prominent role in our healthcare system, providing primary care, as well as multi-specialty services including obstetrics/gynecology (OB-GYN), mental health, vision, and dental services. Because of the wide array of services provided in FQHCs, it may be a challenge to navigate the billing and revenue cycle process. We’ll review some tips to help you understand and overcome those challenges.

FQHC Requirements

FQHCs have become integral to providing healthcare to low-income, uninsured populations; but with Medicaid expansion and the skyrocketing cost of commercial healthcare, many FQHCs are serving all kinds of patients, not just those with low income. If you’re unfamiliar with how FQHCs operate, here are some basic facts:

  • FQHCs must offer services to all (regardless of a person’s ability to pay); establish a sliding fee program for discounts; and prove they are in a medically underserved area. There are reporting requirements and quality standards that must be met to keep designation and funding.
  • FQHCs are reimbursed at a flat prospective payment system rate for each face-to-face visit with Medicare and Medicaid eligible patients, which is a much higher rate as compared to non-FQHC practices and physicians. Because of the increased reimbursement, there are billing stipulations that must be followed. These stipulations can be tricky for those who have traditionally only billed for non-FQHC physicians.
  • FQHC rate services must be face to face, with a qualifying provider (physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, certified nurse midwife, clinical psychologist, or clinical social worker). Services are bundled into CPT® code T1015 Clinic visit/encounter, all-inclusive for Medicaid with the FQHC’s current rate as the charge, along with all other services listed on the claim. For Medicare claims, there are encounter codes to append on the claim (G0466 new patient, G0467 established patient, G0468 initial preventive physical examination (IPPE)/ annual wellness visit [AWV], G0469 new mental health, G0470 established mental health), along with the services provided for the day.

FQHC Fees Must Incorporate Sliding Fees

FQHCs receive a higher rate for their Medicare and Medicaid population, but also must operate at a sliding-fee for the uninsured. Patients complete a financial assessment based on the federal poverty guidelines to determine if they are eligible to receive discounted services. There are different ways to determine how to charge for each eligible discount slide; however, the easiest practice is to deem an all-inclusive charge for each slide, depending on where the patient qualifies.

It’s vital to carefully look at each service your FQHC provides and complete a cost analysis. This measure will let you provide services to those who cannot afford traditional costs and still keep a healthy revenue cycle.

For example, FQHCs who employ specialty physicians — who typically come at a higher cost, and generate charges at a higher relative value unit than traditional primary care providers — should consider offering their discount sliding fees at a percentage of charges versus a flat all-inclusive rate for high dollar services such as surgeries and minor procedures. Communication between billing and front office staff is essential to make this a seamless process when checking patients in to see the providers.

Federal poverty guidelines update each year, making it essential for all front office staff to have a copy of the current year’s guidelines, as well as a clear copy of the facility’s sliding fee schedule. Such schedules are typically labeled A-F, with Level A being the lowest charges and Level F being full price and not qualifying for a slide discount.

Differentiate each service type so staff can clearly identify what to charge a given patient for a given visit on a particular day. For example, facilities might have a row labeled “Office Visits,” with a dollar amount indicated for each “level” on the sliding fee scale for every evaluation and management (E/M) service code. Surgical procedures may be labeled on their row, as well, and those charges may have a percentage of charges assigned to each slide level. For example, the patient is having a colposcopy. The full-price office charge is $225. According to the sliding scale, the patient qualifies to pay 25 percent of the total. The patient is charged $56.25 at check-in, with the remainder of the charges falling under the sliding fee adjustment transaction.

Balance Your Payer Mix

An additional challenge in an FQHC is achieving a healthy payer mix during your scheduling process. This applies to any type of practice but the revenue burden in an FQHC can become especially acute if you are not managing the schedule properly — especially for specialties that provide services with global fees (e.g., services that include all related or follow-up care within a specified period) such as OB/GYN. A well-balanced schedule, comprising of every payer type, will keep a steady revenue stream without any risk of gaps in payment processes due to heavy scheduling of one type of visit, service, payer, etc.

FQHCs must easily accommodate walk-in patients, which can be of any payer type: You must work carefully to accommodate such patients. Allowing for gaps when scheduling appointments can involve some trial and error that becomes easier as you find patterns in how particular providers’ daily schedules trend. For example, some providers may have a higher “no show” rate for patients or may be busier with scheduled patients during certain times of the year.

Know Your Payer Contracts

Due to the higher percentages of commercial insurance members using FQHCs for their healthcare, it’s important for you to know their commercial contracts and to be able to navigate a traditional contracted insurance’s billing and coding processes. FQHCs are bound by traditional contracts of commercial carriers, but those contracts must be worded to allow the FQHC to employ the sliding fee process for members who qualify for the slide discount based on their income. Even though FQHCs are now permitted to offer a discount to members with high deductible plans who qualify, without that specific wording in your commercial contracts, you could find yourself in violation of that contract. Contracts apply specific rules instructing providers on their responsibility to collect copays, deductibles, etc., in full.

Know Your Bundles, Claim Forms

Coding services in an FQHC requires you to know which CPT® codes are considered part of more extensive services (e.g., bundled, included in). Health Resources and Services Administration provides documentation as reference for coders and billers to determine which services may be billed with a qualifying visit versus a traditional contracted fee-for-service (FFS) rate.

Billing for services may be intimidating, initially, because there are specific payer requirements for claims submission. Most will want these services billed on a UB-04, and non-qualifying visits on a CMS-1500 form; however, there may be times when a payer dictates for all services in an FQHC to be billed on the CMS-1500 form. Revenue codes and UB-type of bill codes can vary, as well, making it essential to have billing staff who can easily differentiate the claims submission process for each type of visit, to each type of payer, and for each type of service the facility is providing. Staff must be able to handle simultaneously traditional billing processes along with those of an FQHC.

Experiencing the FQHC process will keep you well versed in the field; and with continuous practice and education, you can prove to be a vital asset to the revenue cycle process of any practice, not just an FQHC.

AARP's Plan to Protect Medicare

We have a strategy ready to fight cuts to this popular program

AARP Our Plan to Protect Medicare

En español | The potential battle is the latest in AARP’s ongoing commitment to help shape public policy on issues of importance to the 50-plus population.

In 2005, AARP members helped to shut down plans to turn Social Security into private accounts. And since 2010, more than 2.5 million members joined the successful battle to fight cuts to Social Security through the so-called chained consumer price index, which would have reduced annual cost-of-living adjustments.

As a discussion about dramatic Medicare changes gets underway in Washington, AARP again is preparing to launch a major campaign to prevent harmful cuts to this popular program.

  • AARP is planning to meet with the Trump administration and members of Congress to explain why proposals to turn Medicare into a voucher program would hurt today’s seniors, as well as future generations.
  • The association is mobilizing its members to write to and visit their members of Congress, urging them to oppose any plan to cut their Medicare benefits.
  • AARP advocates in Washington, as well as AARP volunteers across the country, will write opinion pieces and send letters to the editors of newspapers and media websites.
  • Volunteers will attend relevant public events to voice their concerns about plans to cut the program.

In addition, AARP will use its communications channels to educate its membership about all aspects of Medicare. will feature articles and videos that underscore the value of Medicare to individuals and to society at large. Web and social media channels will also keep members informed about the latest developments in the debate on Capitol Hill, as well as the pros and cons of proposals to change Medicare.

Three people injured after truck strikes horse and buggy

A man and his two sons were injured when a pickup truck rear ended a horse and buggy on US6 near Bremen around 2 p.m. Friday.

US 6 was shut down during the investigation.

Keith Woods witnessed a Dodge Ram rear end the buggy.

"It threw the 2 children and the gentleman into the side ditch behind us," said Woods. "To see an Amish buggy hit that hard, go into a lot of pieces, pieces were flying in the air and debris all over the high way—it was pretty traumatic."

Woods wrapped one of the kids in his coat and waited for police and an ambulance to arrive.

"They were both crying so that was a good sign. I couldn't tell how severe their injuries were," said Woods.

According to ISP, the driver of the truck, Laurie Bope of Goshen, fell asleep.

The driver of the buggy, Alvin Kuhns, 45, sustained a head injury and was taken to Bremen Hospital. His two passengers, his sons, 6-year-old Ryan and 3-year-old Caleb were airlifted to Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne with head injuries. They are listed in serious condition.

The horse died at the scene.

ISP says weather and road conditions were not a factor. Drugs and alcohol have not been ruled out as a factor.

Preparation tips prior to diagnosis appointment

It helps to be prepared for the neurologist appointment and have realistic expectations. Some things you can do to be prepared include:

Keep a journal of changes you and others have noted. Be prepared to give the doctor some examples of worrisome, challenging, or problematic behaviors that have been observed. As your loved one is likely to be present for this meeting, be sensitive in your communication so it won’t appear that you are giving a listing of all their faults. You may want to leave some notes if the list is extensive.

Bring in a list of medication s/he is on, and information on the method of delivery, (i.e. independent, pill box, reminders from a caregiver, etc). It will help to check up on the compliance and accuracy of medication usage, if possible.

Bring a list of questions you and your loved one may have. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and forget important questions you wanted to ask.

Beverly Patnaik, Abe’s Garden Director of Staff Training and Community Education
“Communication is all about continuing relationships. It doesn’t change if you have a memory impairment. We still have to communicate. If they are sitting, get down to their eye level. Hold their hand. Give maximum information and expect minimum responses.”
Will Hudson, Physical Therapist Assistant
“Exercise is important for people with dementia because they are at a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, and exercise lowers those risks. If they can no longer walk, the exercises we recommend are sitting exercises of marching, kicking straight out or side to side, ankle pumps, and reaching at different angles.”
Kim Campbell, wife of the late legendary musician and Abe’s Garden resident, Glen Campbell
“The doctors say music activates all the regions of your brain at once, so with everything firing, it’s very stimulating for people who have dementia and helps them maintain their function.”

Analysis phase of interest rate derivatives complete

News item -

Pile of documents

ABN AMRO is reviewing all current interest rate derivative products held by SME clients with the establishing whether they are still appropriate. Where it is not possible to draw that conclusion based on the file analysis, we will engage in dialogue with the clients concerned as quickly as possible. We will subsequently discuss the analysis with the other clients.

We have already held discussions with clients who are facing commercial problems. We hope we have spoken to them all, but if we have inadvertently missed some clients, or if clients wish to speak to us earlier, we would ask them to contact us.

Majority of products appropriate

The interest rate derivative holdings were thoroughly analysed. An external audit was also performed on this analysis and we liaised closely with the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). The analysis showed that in the majority of cases, the interest rate derivative was appropriate for the client’s current situation. The next step in the review process is the dialogue with clients.

More information

In this newsroom you will also find earlier news bulletins about interest rate derivatives. ABN AMRO has 350,000 SME clients, of whom 4,500 have one or more interest rate derivatives. All told, SME clients together hold a total of 6,000 current interest rate derivatives. Read more about the review of SME interest rate derivatives (Dutch only).

Creek Confederacy. This name is given to a loose organization which constituted the principal political element in the territory of the present States of Georgia and Alabama from very early times, probably as far back as the period of De Soto. It was built around a dominant tribe, or rather a group of dominant tribes, called
Muskogee. The name Creek early became attached to these people because when they were first known to the Carolina colonists and for a considerable period afterward the body of them which the latter knew best was living upon a river, the present Ocmulgee, called by Europeans “Ocheese Creek.” The Creeks were early
divided geographically into two parts, one called Upper Creeks, on the Coosa and Tallapoosa Rivers; the other, the Lower Creeks, on the lower Chattahoochee and Ocmulgee. The former were also divided at times into the Coosa branch or Abihka and the Tallapoosa branch and the two were called Upper and Middle Creeks respectively. Bartram (1792) tends to confuse the student by denominating all of the true Creeks “Upper Creeks” and the Seminole “Lower Creeks.” The dominant Muskogee gradually gathered about them, and to a certain extent under them, the Apalachicola, Hitchiti, Okmulgee, Sawokli, Chiaha, Osochi, Yuchi, Alabama, Tawasa, Pawokti, Muklasa, Koasati, Tuskegee, a part of the Shawnee, and for a time some Yamasee, not counting broken bands and families from various quarters. The first seven of the above were for the most part among the Lower Creeks, the remainder with the Upper Creeks. (For further information, see the separate tribal names under Alabama, Georgia, and Florida)

Tennis Student Savy Before and After Instruction

Tennis student Savy is highlighted in this Dartfish video analysis side by side a pro tennis player before technical instruction in October 2008. This is followed by Savy’s advanced technique after one hour, three weeks, and two months of coaching with Charles "Bud" Cox.

I met Savy at a local tournament and immediately noticed his strong desire to be an exceptional tennis player. His father told me that Savy loved the game and could use some private coaching. I told him about my coaching background. He said he’d give me a call to set up an evaluation lesson.

Savy’s forehand technique was good in that he kept his racket hand to the front side of his body. However, his arm was too bent at contact. At our first one-hour lesson he began to extend away from his body with a straighter arm at contact. He also began to rotate from his left leg to the right side toward the ending (he's left-handed).

Savy’s backhand technique was similar to the “low to high” form. I taught that technique for many years until I started watching the modern game. Notice that the pro tennis player (next to Savy) has his racket head up to the sky. This allows him to increase the racket speed as he swings toward the contact point. We want Savy to keep his right arm straight as he as it goes away from the body and across the chest to assist the linear aspect of the swing.

Executing the forehand and backhand volley well is critical for net play. Savy hit the forehand volley with the racket head down and the ball behind him. After showing him the forehand volley technique, he kept the racket head up and extended out in front to the ball. On his backhand volley, he dropped the racket head on the ending, so we corrected that.

On the serve, Savy opened his palm to the sky in the “trophy” position (like many kids), so we worked on keeping the racket "like a hammer." He also turned the racket face too much just after contact, so we did several pronation drills to develop the correct movement. Tennis student Savy comes to practice with the desire to get better. He has moved through all stages of muscle memory in a short period of time. We’re continuing to work on his footwork and movement. He’ll grow into better balance as he develops physically.

Collective Societies in a Transactional World

In CBC v. SODRAC, the Supreme Court decided that arbitration decisions rendered by the Copyright Board under s. 70.2 of the Copyright Act were not mandatory. This raises interesting questions regarding the interaction between users and collective societies under s. 70.1 ff.: To what extent does the decision apply to collective societies beyond SODRAC? Is collective management in its current form still relevant for users? What should the Copyright Board’s role be in a transactional world? We conclude that though collective management as a mechanism is still relevant, collective societies may have to reinvent themselves to handle technological change.

AI — Thoughts from a Human Brain

When most of us think of Artificial Intelligence, we may be reminded of dystopian movies like "The Terminator." However, the ADVENT Team recently had the privilege of discussing the past, present, and future of AI with a leading expert from a global software company.

As innovation leaders in the legal space, we are navigating the possibilities that come from the complex computing of AI. We also are exploring efficient ways to navigate the darker side of AI — and what it means to our business partners and their organizations.

According to the English Oxford Living Dictionary – artificial intelligence is defined as:

The theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.

While this is one definition, there is a fair amount of debate over what is considered Artificial Intelligence. A spectrum of AI emerges, spanning from the creation of a replica of the human mind and its processing capabilities to just trying to replicate human reasoning.

Why is AI getting so much attention now? Because, researchers now have the availability of data, enhanced processing capabilities, and powerful algorithms to make sense of it all. Google recently announced “Google Duplex.” Catch the YouTube video – “Google Assistant Making Real Call.” In a truly mind-blowing phone call, Google Duplex (an AI technology) schedules an appointment with an actual person at a hair salon. Or a second example, the Google Duplex making a restaurant reservation. The intonation and exchange can only be called one thing — human.

Certainly, as these advancements continue to expand, questions arise around ethics and compliance. In The Future Computed, Artificial Intelligence and its Role in Society (2018), a book written and published by Microsoft, with a foreword by Brad Smith, President and Chief Legal Officer at Microsoft, and Harry Shum, Executive Vice President, Artificial Intelligence and Research at Microsoft, the authors provide an interesting perspective on the art, possibilities and challenges associated with AI — some of which we can only begin to contemplate. Microsoft co-founded the Partnership on AI (PAI) to advance discussions with thought-leaders to ensure AI is “designed and deployed in a manner that will earn the trust of the people how use them and the individuals whose data is being collected.” The Future Computed at 57. Ultimately, Microsoft calls for AI’s role in augmenting and amplifying human capabilities — not replacing them entirely.

The Future Computed also calls for AI to be secure and respect privacy. Concerns in this area have come to the forefront recently, especially in the areas of consumer data mining and use of such data to predict and influence behavior. Enter Exhibit A – Facebook and Cambridge Analytica. In the midst of the investigation regarding use of data to influence the 2016 presidential campaigns, Facebook recently announced the suspension of roughly 200 apps that may have misused user data. The investigation is on-going, and the results will likely be influential as we navigate a new world of AI capabilities.

Society still has much to learn, and the more discussions we engage in and the more learnings we share, the more we can responsibly use AI to enhance human existence, not extinguish it.

This month, artists, chefs, and brainiacs from 140 countries converge in Milan for the 2015 World Expo—essentially the Olympics of thought. Other new arrivals? A palatial hotel, pizza bars crawling with bellissimo locals, and more shopping imperatives than there are hours in the day. Here, six reasons to get in on the action and book a trip now.

1. There are almost more boutiques around the Duomo than there are pigeons. Because you’re going to want to budget your time instead of your cash, we’ve mapped out an attack plan for the stores you just can’t miss.

2. When in Italy, pretty much any pasta is a solid option for your primo. But what about your other three Italian courses? For your antipasto, try offbeat fritti varieties such as salvia (sage) and fiori di zucca (zucchini flowers). Cassoeula makes for a strong second course. The rich, slow-cooked casserole contains celery, onion, and pork bits and generally is served with polenta. And finally, for your sweet tooth, go for Charlotte alla Milanese, a boozy apple pie. Apples simmered in white wine are poured into a bready rum-soaked crust.

3. Lake Orta may not have George Clooney in swim trunks (win, Lake Como), but it does have green mountains, glittering forested shores, and a tourist-free scene of Italians in repose.

4. From classic accommodations to rooms tricked out with high-tech comforts, there’s a centrally located hotel for every taste in Milan (and many more amazing hotels).

article continues below ad

5. After dark, you can hit up Dry, a late-night bar and pizza joint.

6. Or, stay home and be your own mixologist with this bitter but refreshing Americano drink, named after U.S. expats in 1930s Milan (recipe below). A chromosome away from the Negroni, the drink is com- plexly bitter but refreshing, just a tad sweet, and calls for only two boozes. We say, don’t wait for your trip to Milan. Head outdoors with a pitcher this summer.

1 part Campari
1 part Carpano Antica - Formula vermouth (Buy the smaller 375 ml bottles, as it spoils quickly.)
Soda water An orange twist
Mix the Campari and vermouth. Add splashes of soda to your taste. Top with an orange twist.
