Just starting to help plan my friend's hen weekend. She has suggested that she'd like to go away to a cottage for a weekend. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of cottages that would sleep about 15-18 (in separate beds)? Thinking not more than a few hours from the central belt, and nothing too expensive either!
Any ideas of places for me to check out would be most appreciated!

Why We Need More Disputes in Christianity
Jewish scholar Shaye J. D. Cohen suggested in a seminal article that the destruction of the temple brought about a radical change in the structure of what would become Judaism. Before the Romans reduced the temple to rubble in 70 C. E. Cohen argues that the Jewish religion had become "sectarian." He dates the rise of sectarianism from the centuries of Greek influence and especially from the era of the Jewish Hasmonean kings. At the center of the sectarian conflict was the temple itself. Various groups emerged with very different ideas about the temple, its organization, leadership, and ritual. We know from Josephus' works and from the writings of various sectarians, including those from Qumran, that deep divisions within Jewish society could be traced to arguments over the temple. Who should be high priest? How should the high priest be appointed and by whom? What rituals should be followed and how should they be carried out? What should the purity practices entail? What calendar should be followed? And what should be done about the domination of Israel by the Gentiles and the consequent "foreign" influences on the thinking and practices of both the political and religious leadership of the Jewish people? When the Jewish war broke out it in 66 C.E., it was not just a war against Rome. It was a vicious civil war. While the Romans were preparing to storm Jerusalem, the rebels were killing off their enemies within the city, including the recent high priests. Three factions fought it out in the city, weakening themselves as well as their opponents until it was too late.
In the aftermath of Roman victory, a group of rabbis gathered to consider how to prevent such suicidal sectarian strife. Those early rabbis, calledtannaim, had to articulate a new way to be Jewish—a way that did not require a temple or sacrifices to follow and obey the God of Israel. A key part of this according to Cohen was moving Judaism from being a community of sectariansto a community of disputants. All of these rabbis were committed to the "oral Torah", the stream of tradition that sought to interpret and apply the "written Torah" to the ever-changing situations of Jews both in and beyond the land of Israel. But the traditions and the sages did not always agree on how in particular cases that should be done. There were significant differences between the followers of great sages of the past—like Hillel and Shammai. How could these differences be adjudicated without leading to the destructive factionalism that had almost destroyed the Jewish people?
The genius of those early rabbis was to leave room for dispute—more than that,
to encouragedispute. The circles of disciples that would become the rabbinic academies became circles of argument and disputation. The rabbis and their disciples would argue fiercely defending their various viewpoints. To this day, if you visit a traditional Jewish beit midrash (house of learning)you will find students arguing vociferously with each other. In one I visited in Jerusalem the cacophony was such that I wondered how they could even hear each other! Both the Mishnah and the later Talmudpreserve the arguments and conflicts of the sages. Even if a ruling of a particular sage was not accepted, neither the sage nor his ruling was eliminated. The losing arguments and the winning arguments are often recorded side by side. Who knew? Perhaps the "losing" view would be needed in a subsequent era when Israel's situation had changed.
Moving from a sectarian society to a disputation society saved Judaism. It did not fragment into increasingly smaller and paranoid groups in the following centuries—as it could have done. With very view exceptions it remained united under the banner of what we would now call rabbinic Judaism well into the modern era. Even today, as great as the differences are between Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist Jews, most religious Jews are loath to reject the Jewishness of other Jews, however greatly they disagree with the way they practice their Judaism.
This is perhaps an overlong introduction to the point I want to make. Almost from the very beginning, Christianity has been a sectarian community, rather than a community of dispute. As early as the second century its leaders were identifying and marginalizing "heretics", thereby creating alternative and competing sects. Unlike emerging Judaism, the Christian Church eventually gained political power and used the power of the state to enforce conformity, burning the occasional heretic to make a point. Throughout the history of the church theologians who went too far in their speculations could find themselves facing a grim-faced tribunal of bishops who could deprive them of their livelihoods if not their lives. The Reformation challenged the authority of both church and state in the west, but clearly did not end the sectarianism, but rather enhanced it! The various Protestant bodies were as eager to identify and persecute "heretics" as their fiercest Catholic brethren (and I use the term advisedly).
I am not sanguine that Christianity can travel the same road as the early rabbis. I fear that our sectarianism, our eagerness to condemn our opponents and destroy our dissidents is too deeply engrained. But sectarianism is destroying us just as surely as it nearly destroyed Judaism. Everywhere I see vicious attempts to assure conformity by silencing dissent. This often occurs through the efforts of denominational enforcers. But it also, and perhaps more often occurs through the vicious public humiliation of those who dare to raise questions about the current received wisdom. Witness the attacks within the Evangelical world on any public figure who dares, however gently, to raise questions about or express a desire for a conversations concerning the role of women or human sexuality (especially homosexuality) or Black Lives Matter. Evangelical "leaders" seem terrified of any conversation that challenges the views of conservative churches and powerful donors. At all costs, it seems, these dissidents must be silenced or shunned, and the conversations ended before they are begun.
We should not be trying to end these disputations but encouraging them—bringing them into the open. As we engage in these difficult discussions, we need to acknowledge that our opponents are trying to follow Jesus, just as we are—even if we disagree with them. We should not brand them as heretics to be shamed, silenced, and driven out. In my experience, I would hasten to say, this is often as difficult for people on the "left" as people on the "right". I am aware that his is a tall order since it is against all of our Christian instincts to demonize our opponents. And, as I witnessed this summer in Minneapolis, our impulse to eliminate problematic people and avoid difficult conversations is strong. But if we continue in our sectarian ways, we will destroy ourselves. And perhaps that is not a bad thing. Perhaps in the wake of the coming destruction, as occurred after the destruction of the temple, something new, and heathier, will rise from the ashes. Perhaps we will actually learn to follow Jesus in love and hope rather than trying to destroy individuals and communities trying to do exactly that.
John E. Phelan, Jr.

The most common approach to improvement of educational systems has been the adoption of episodic initiatives and short-lived improvement programs. In recent years, a continuous improvement (CI) approach has made it onto the education scene, but the effects of continuous improvement in education remain largely unstudied. This study addressed the need to examine the long term impacts of CI in educational organizations. Using a CI framework, this mixed methods action research (MMAR) study was conducted to examine the impact of CI on one school district's measures of quality, stakeholder satisfaction, and cost savings, as well as to determine the value …

Bandidas are bringing cowgirls back
One thing I've learned about from watching cooking competition shows is the concept of fusion food,which is the combining of cusine from two different cultures(like Chinese & Vietnamese)to create an interesting new taste sensation. In the new DVD release Bandidas,we are served up a film fusion of Mexican and French cinematic styles. Not the most likely combo you'd expect to encounter(sort of like having a Swedish/Greek platter)but it does have some flair to it.
Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz star as two gals,Maria and Sara,from the opposite sides of town(Salma's the rich bitch,Penelope is the Mary Ann)who team up to rob from the rich and give to their poor fellow townspeople who have had their land stolen by evil American Tyler Jackson(Dwight Yoakam).
Tyler also killed both of the girl's daddies (or tried to,Penelope's dad survives a gunshot to the chest)and plans to rip off the entire nation of Mexico to set up a railroad. Maria and Sara get some bank robber training from Bill Buck(Sam Shepard,yes,THE Sam Shepard)and later on,blackmail a 19th century CSI type(Steve Zahn)into giving them a hand.
The movie is cute fun but not what you expect,good or bad. The ladies do have a couple of fights that involve hairpulling but nothing too sexy goes on beyond a kissing lesson by Sara to Maria using Steve Zahn as a practice dummy. The only one who gets naked in this movie is Zahn,mainly for punchline purposes. Also,the humor is pretty broad at times,almost like watching a live action cartoon. Maria and Sara are given some quirky characteristics(Sara hiccups when nervous,Maria has a whole Dr. Doolittle thing with horses)but any attempt at dramatics is about as seriously played as any TV soap opera.
Dwight Yoakam's performance in this movie is very Snidely Whiplash;I kept waiting for him to twirl his mustache as he tied one of the ladies up to the railroad tracks.Actually,his whole demeanor reminded me of Gary Oldman in The Fifth Element which is not that surprising since Luc Besson co-wrote the Bandidas script. Trust me,watch TFE after Bandidas and you'll swear that these fellas are like evil peas in a pod:
So,is Bandidas worth a look? Let me put it to you this way-it's not as great of a cowgirl film as Cattle Annie and Little Britches but it's not as awful as Bad Girls by any means. If you're in the mood for a silly,fun flick with some South of the Border action,this is the one for you. Please click the title link for more info about the DVD or just watch this trailer to keep Bandidas in mind when heading out to the video store near you:

What to do and where to eat in Rome: Piazza Venezia
Are you in Rome? Would you like to know what to do when in Piazza Venezia? Here you are even more: take note of the best restaurants near Piazza Venezia.
Piazza Venezia: a little bit of history
Piazza Venezia is the central hub of Rome, in which several thoroughfares intersect, including the Via dei Fori Imperiali the Via del Corso. It takes its name from the Palazzo Venezia, built by the Venetian Cardinal, Pietro Barbo (later Pope Paul II) alongside the church of Saint Mark, the patron saint of Venice. The Palazzo Venezia served as the embassy of the Republic of Venice in Rome.
One side of the Piazza is the site of Italy's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Altare della Patria, part of the imposing Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, first king of Italy.
The piazza or square is at the foot of the Capitoline Hill and next to Trajan's Forum. The main artery, the Viale di Fori Imperiali begins there and leads past the Roman Forum to the Colosseum.
In 2009, during excavations in the middle of the square for the construction of the Rome C Metro Line, remains of the emperor Hadrian's Athenaeum were unearthed.
When to go
The best period to come and visit this square is, strangely, summer. Inside the gigantic monument that you can see in the square (the Vittoriano), there's one of the most important museums of Rome, so maybe you can find some fresh air inside and look at the most beautiful pieces of art of the world. The Vittoriano monument itself has been criticized for years because it clashes with the existing architecture, and even Romans do not love it so much, but tourists always remain enchanted but the majesty of this monument, re-named "the wedding cake", because of its color and shape. It worth a visit, even if you are not interested in the monument itself or in the museum, you can still enjoy of an amazing view of all the city from the top.
This is, by the way, a very central square, so in one way or in the other, if you are going around in Rome, you will find yourself here anyway. From here you can go to Fontana Di Trevi in a few steps, right in front of the square begins one of the most famous via for shopping (Via del Corso), you can take a very lot of buses that lead everywhere, and even the tram that goes to Trastevere. Behind the square there's the big step that leads to Campidoglio.
What and where to eat: the best restaurants near Piazza Venezia
One of the best place of this area is the Antica Birreria Peroni (Via S. Marcello 19), opened since 1906, where you can taste some wonderful meat in all its kind, and some strange but delicious recipes like bacon with vineyard; if after lunch you want to have a coffee, the best bar here is Caffè Doria (Via della Gatta 1/a), they have even pizza, but they're famous for caffè, cappuccino and cornetto.
A very beautiful and traditional place in this area is the Trattoria Melo (Via Magnanapoli 6), where they are specialized in Mediterranean cuisine.
Piazza Venezia is located in a strategic position, from here you'd easily reach the Jewish Ghetto or Monti area (direction Termini) which is full of places where to eat and less touristy.
How to reach it
Getting to Piazza Venezia is very easy, you can take a very lot of buses, like for example: 40, 53, 80, 85, 63, 70, 81, 160, 628, 916, 64, 40.

Diary of a tech worker shows that the good life in Seattle is affordable -- for some
It's easy, just make over $250K, with stock valuations
Seattle is increasingly facing an affordability crisis. You wouldn't know it reading the latest Money Diaries entry from Refinery29.
The latest chapter in the site's series chronicling the expenses of a week in the lives of anonymous people around the country has come to Seattle (or, rather, returned to Seattle, as there were dispatches from our neck of the woods on August 18, July 31, June 1, and March 20; our city has truly made it). And the result is ... well, it's a lot.
Following a product manager at an undisclosed local tech company, we see a week in the Emerald City on a $240,000 income ($95,000 in base salary plus $145,000 in stock grants), or about $13,400 per month.
After a breakdown which includes a $2,400 (solo) rent and $8,000 in 401(k) and investment accounts, we get seven days of splurges and insight into just how it feels to roll around Seattle with a lot of money in your pocket.
RELATED: 2018 edition: What does it really cost to live in Seattle?
Peppered in the column are a couple of key notes, like the 29-year-old woman behind it apparently doesn't know if "drip coffee" means regular or pour over, wakes up feeling great about summer in Seattle (apparently this was written before the smoke storm, given that she references it might return), and spends about $112 in ride shares rather than rent a car and drive in Seattle traffic.
At no point does the writer consider taking public transit.
But as bizarre and grating as the article might read, this is both exactly what the column format looks for, and is also what Seattle is increasingly geared toward.
RELATED: These are the 20 wealthiest ZIP codes in King County
There's always an air of disassociation that is inherent to Refinery29's Money Diaries series; what may have started as a simple sharing of financial narratives has quickly become many folks' favorite hate read, thanks to entries like the New York intern who chronicled her week on a salary of $25 per hour -- plus $3,200 per month from her family to cover expenses.
So while it's a bit odd that she's lived here for at least a year and never been to the Ivar's Salmon House or thinks that it's simply the lack of heat behind why Seattle loves dogs so much, she does note she prefers hole-in-the-wall and neighborhood spots. The aloof voice in this article is built into the genre a little bit.
That being said, there's something scummy about reading the life of someone who shares a city with you who makes "a lot of money," but tries "to live like I don't," and still manages to casually spend $1,341.50 in a week, not including rent.
Yes, many of those higher priced options are splurges that aren't something Seattleites are struggling with (though if you see a tech worker with a bulletproof cushion at the On the Run 2 show in October, I guess we know who it is), and are pretty easy to disassociate from.
But plenty others aren't: a bare-boned, no-frills cost of living in Seattle calculated earlier this year came out to the monthly tune of $814.58.
That's assuming you don't drink coffee away from home, eat out 5 percent of the time and only at inexpensive restaurants, don't belong to a gym or other sports club, rarely buy clothing or go on vacation, and use public transportation.
A "splurge" for that person might look more like a drink at a bar, rather than a stadium seat that becomes a bulletproof vest or an $80 lunch when you're able to take the afternoon off. Heck, it might just include a rainy-day account for debt, medical expenses, or savings, which also weren't factored into that $814.
It probably doesn't look like a $45 "just having dinner in" gift for a friend, or an $80 grocery bill (for one).
And that's all before you factor in housing.
But the tough truth about Seattle's hot market is that even with a "cool-off" prices aren't going to plummet. Seattle's median sale price may have dropped almost $60,000 since May, but the median sales price is still $700,000. And that's because the drop is coming from the increase in supply, not a dip in our local economy -- which is holding strong as ever.
RELATED: Can you afford these Seattle neighborhoods? The 2018 numbers
"The real estate sky isn't falling," Dick Beeson, principal managing broker with Re/Max, said in the latest Northwest Multiple Listing Service report.
"Huge increase in inventory the past few months speaks volumes about the anxiety levels sellers have as they try to get all they can before the market crashes, which it won't. The Northwest still has the best economy in America."
According to the most recent numbers, to afford the median Seattle-area home you need to make $138,000 annually.
What this Money Diaries entry proves is that Seattle is not unaffordable. It's just only affordable to a certain class of people.

With the new fiscal year just around the corner, the Village of Garden City has come up with a proposed 2018-19 budget of $60.6 million, which represents a 2.38 percent (or $1.4 million) increase over last year. The increase is mostly due to an uptick in debt service, consulting and employee benefits. Estimated reviews have increased $1.2 million mostly due to building department fees increasing from large projects. For Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi, it's all in keeping with finding the best way to continue to make the village an ideal place for residents to call home.
"Government is a service business and our operating budget is the means by which we pay for the delivery of these services," Suozzi said. "Over these last few years and continuing with this budget, we are making capital and operating investments that improve quality of life, most evident in the rebirth of our recreation facilities, the move toward digitization of building department records, rebuilding and rehabilitating our aging infrastructure and assets."
The full year expense forecast is expected to be approximately 3 percent favorable to the modified budget, mainly due to lower salary, benefits and taxes through open positions, retirements and hiring at lower costs, as well as deferred judgments and claim settlements in the current fiscal year, Village Treasurer Irene Woo said. On the revenue side, the village is seeing a $1.3 million favorable variance to the modified budget, mostly due to one-time fees received from the Marriott project near Ring Road.
The proposed budget is again tax cap compliant in that the Village did not exceed the Allowable Levy Growth of 2 percent. Over the last four years, the actual property tax levy increase was equal to or less than the Inflation Factor. Eligible residents received rebates in 2015-16 and 2016-17 due to the village's compliance with the tax cap legislation.
Fiscal Year 2014-15 was the exception as the village exceeded the cap by $946,000. Extraordinary weather events of the prior years coupled with deferment of equipment purchases increased the need to reestablish capital spending at a level more consistent with past practices. This, Woo said, led to an increase of $1 million in cash contribution to capital projects. For the 2018-19 budget, the village is allowed to assess an additional $737,000 in real property taxes, which includes $500,000 of prior year carryover amounts. In keeping with past practice the village has chosen to only raise taxes to match the allowable inflationary growth factor.
Village officials developed the proposed spending plan with several operating principles in mind, including creating a tax cap compliant budget, increasing productivity through capital investments in new technologies and equipment, managing annual capital borrowing and its effect on future operating debt service and seeking grants to supplement, replace or reimburse existing funding sources.
"In this year's budget, you will see a minimum of four major investments in new hardware and software in building, finance, department of public works and personnel, all geared toward a higher and more efficient level of service delivery, reducing costs and increasing productivity," Suozzi said. The police department, for example, purchased a computer-aided dispatch and records management system and the purchasing of equipment, like the new payloader, has doubled the village's ability to maintain and rebuild storm drain infrastructure.
The total proposed capital plan budget for 2018-19 across all project categories is $7.3 million, and a proposed $35 million for the five-year total.
"The trend over the last couple of years was to maintain a level of $25 million over the five years so this is a marked increase in requests," Woo said. Capital investment projected costs are trending much higher as the village looks to rehabilitate or replace assets well beyond their useful lives.
Equipment, roads and curbs and technology improvements comprise 83 percent of the total proposed capital investment costs for 2018-19. An additional $7.2 million in capital projects under consideration for 2018-19 include paving of the Wye parking field, fire station renovations and LED field lighting.
Visit www.gardencityny.net and click on "Village Budget Meetings" under the Village Notifications and Alerts section to view the PowerPoint presentations from the March 6, 15 and 20 budget meetings in full. The board of trustees of the Incorporated Village of Garden City will adopt the budget on Thursday, April 12, at 8 p.m. The session is currently scheduled to be held in the boardroom at village hall located at 351 Stewart Ave. in Garden City.

Apple presented its Workgroup Cluster for Bioinformatics at ClusterWorld Conference and Expo yesterday.
Apple describes its Workgroup Cluster for Bioinformatics as "an all-inclusive system with everything a non-technical bench scientist needs to set up, operate, and maintain a small, computational cluster with little or no support required from IT departments".
Apple product manager for server hardware Doug Brooks said: "Bioinformatics researchers today are commonly running large scientific simulations and doing analyses of immense biological datasets using a wide range of commercial and open source applications. Advancements in computer technology have paved the way for these researchers to gain scientific insights never before imaginable with greater efficiencies in workflow and productivity.
At the same time, constant business pressures to lower operating costs, IT requirements for more practical alternatives to large symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) systems, and user needs for faster job turn-arounds and productivity gains are driving the trend in scalable computational clusters."
Apple's solution is based on the G5 Xserve cluster. It also features iNquiry created by The BioTeam. iNquiry is a ready-to-use cluster and web portal optimized for use in life science informatics settings. It comes pre-configured with 200 open source scientific applications and can be extended to support additional commercial, open source or internally-developed applications.
According to The BioTeam: "Bench scientists, with little or no assistance from their IT department, can deploy iNquiry on the Xserve via a unique self-deployment method that uses an external firewire drive as a cluster installation and configuration device -- in an average of 30 minutes."
The Apple Workgroup Cluster featuring BioTeam's iNquiry recently won the Best of Show award at Bio-IT World Expo and Conference in Boston.

Wisconsin has eliminated the alternative minimum tax while raising taxes in other areas. Most provisions were effective September 23, 2017, although there are several exceptions.
Tax strategies
Wisconsin Legislature Eliminates the Alternative Minimum Tax
After a protracted legislative session, the Wisconsin state legislature passed its biennial budget bill (2017 Wisconsin Act 59) on September 21, 2017. The bill changes many state tax areas including:
- The repeal of the alternative minimum tax
- A refundable research and development (R&D) tax credit
- Sales and use tax updates to construction contracts
- Property tax elimination
The effective date of most provisions was September 23, 2017, though there is a wide range of effective dates. Some of the more significant changes are summarized below.
Income tax updates
Federal tax conformity
Wisconsin now generally adopts (with exceptions) the federal Internal Revenue Code as amended through December 31, 2016, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2016.
Repeal of the Wisconsin alternative minimum tax
Wisconsin Act 59 repeals the state's alternative minimum tax (AMT) for individual income tax purposes for tax years beginning after December 31, 2018.
Limitation of credit for tax paid to other states
Effective for the 2017 tax year, the Wisconsin credit for tax paid to other states is limited to the amount of tax that would have been paid if the income was taxed under the Wisconsin individual income tax regime. There is no limitation, however, on the credit if the tax was paid to one of Wisconsin's four border states: Minnesota, Michigan, Iowa, and Illinois.
Manufacturing and agriculture credit limitation
Legislators have repealed the overlap that has historically allowed individual Wisconsin taxpayers to claim both the manufacturing and agriculture tax credit and the credit for tax paid to other states for the same activities. Beginning with the 2017 tax year, the amount of eligible, qualified production activities income that a taxpayer can claim in computing the manufacturing and agriculture credit, must be reduced by the amount of the qualified production activities income that is claimed for the credit for tax paid to another state.
R&D tax credit
Act 59 updates the previously nonrefundable R&D tax credit so that up to 10 percent of the credit claimed for a particular tax year can be refunded, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017.
Sales and use tax changes
Expansion of construction contract sales tax exemptions
In 2013, Wisconsin enacted a sales tax exemption for products sold by a contractor as part of a lump-sum contract for real property construction if the sales price for the products was less than 10 percent of the total, lump-sum contract price.
Effective for contracts entered into after December 1, 2017, this exemption has been expanded by Act 59 to apply to all real property construction contracts, whether or not they are quoted as a lump sum. However, for the exemption to qualify, the total sales price of the products still must be less than 10 percent of the total contract price.
Act 59 also expands this exemption to apply to both prime contractors and their subcontractors. If a prime contractor qualifies for this exemption, then the prime contractor is still considered the consumer of the products and must pay the related sales/use tax. In addition, if a prime contractor qualifies for the exemption, then the sale of products by the subcontractor to the prime contractor are now also exempt if the total sales price of the taxable products is less than 10 percent of the total contract price. In those cases, the subcontractor is deemed to be the consumer of those products and must pay sales/use tax on them.
Subcontractors are now covered by the sales and use tax exemption on purchases when contracting with tax-exempt entities. Currently, for contracts between a prime contractor and a tax-exempt entity, the prime contractor may purchase materials exempt from sales tax for resale. This exemption is expanded under Act 59 to include products purchased by subcontractors for eventual resale to a tax-exempt entity.
Finally, effective for contracts entered into on July 1, 2018 or later, the exemption for products sold in relation to a real property construction contract with a tax-exempt entity is also expanded to include contracts with Wisconsin colleges and educational institutions.
Property tax changes
Machinery, tools, and patterns are now exempt from personal property tax
Effective for property tax assessments starting in January 2018, the state exempts any machinery, tools, and patterns not used in manufacturing from property tax. The definition of machinery excludes buildings.
Forestry mill tax repealed (state property tax)
Effective with the January 1, 2017, property tax assessments, Wisconsin has eliminated the state portion of the property tax (also known as the forestry mill tax). Locally-levied property taxes were not affected by Act 59.

With the new PECOS requirement, hospitals have been scurrying to get employed PAs enrolled to meet the "ordering/referring" rule.
Some MSPs who are responsible for physician credentialing and enrollment in Medicare have been asked to present Medicare contractors with current certification information. In some states, maintenance of certification is not a requirement for licensure; nor is it a requirement for Medicare enrollment. The PA must have passed the certifying exam. There is no mention of maintenance of certification. Transcripts from the PA program are not required if proof can be presented that the PA is NCCPA certified. In this case, certification and license are all that is required.
The relevant Medicare regulations are below:

190 - Physician Assistant (PA) Services
(Rev. 1, 10-01-03)
Effective for services rendered on or after January 1, 1998, any individual who is participating under the Medicare program as a physician assistant for the first time may have his or her professional services covered if he or she meets the qualifications listed below and he or she is legally authorized to furnish PA services in the State where the services are performed. PAs who were issued billing provider numbers prior to January 1, 1998 may continue to furnish services under the PA benefit.
See the Medicare Claims Processing Manual, Chapter 12, "Physician and Nonphysician Practitioners," §110, for payment methodology for PA services. Payment is made under assignment only.
A. Qualifications for PAs
To furnish covered PA services, the PA must meet the conditions as follows:
1. Have graduated from a physician assistant educational program that is accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (its predecessor agencies, the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and the Committee on Allied Health Education and Accreditation (CAHEA); or
2. Have passed the national certification examination that is administered by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA); and
3. Be licensed by the State to practice as a physician assistant
The AAPA contacted CMS to seek clarification on this issue. The following response was received on January 19, 2011:
"The regulations at 42 CFR 410.74 that contain the PA qualifications should be
interpreted as follows:
1. Have graduated from a PA educational program that is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs and be licensed by the State to practice as a PA; or
2. Have passed the national certification examination that is administered by the National Commission on Certification of PAs and, be licensed by the State to practice as a PA."

Sunderland AFC Academy of Light manager, Ged Mc Namee and Academy coach, Carlton Fairweather began a three-day coaching clinic in T&T yesterday.
The clinic hosted by Digicel for T&T Pro League players and coaches began with a three-hour "Coach-the-Coach session" at Digicel T&T Limited head office, Ansa Centre, Maraval Road. This was followed by a three hour on field coaching session at the St James Police Barracks Ground, Long Circular Road St James.
Today and tomorrow, both English coaches will continue their coaching session and will also have a chance to see over 40 of T&T's most talented Under-15 players (four players from each of the Pro League clubs) taking part in coaching sessions, technical tests, question and answer sessions and small-sided games in the build-up to a closing friendly match on Monday afternoon.
Speaking during the media function held at Digicel's head office, T&T Pro League Chief Executive Officer, Dexter Skeene applauded the initiative put on by Digicel saying.
"To improve the standard of play; to be competitive in Concacaf; to continuously produce young top class performers who can compete on the world stage, it is imperative that training is offered to coaches and young players.
"It is necessary to expose coaches to international and experienced coaching courses to gain new ideas and insights into modern methods being applied today in the top leagues.
"It is also important for youths to hear from foreign coaches, new teachings and some of the same ideas that they receive from their own coaches which would inspire a higher level of confidence in our local coaching fraternity.
"And we thank Digicel for their continued understanding and efforts at contributing to development at all levels of the league," ended Skeene.
Others in attendance included, Niall Dorian, Digicel T&T Limited, Chief Executive Offier; Wayne Riley, Project Manager of the Local Organising Committee for the 2010 Fifa Under-17 Women's World Cup T&T.

Why We Love Them
Leaf Skin Therapy Lotion offers ultra-hydration for your skin with the lowest toxicity ingredients available for a lotion with water content. Ideal to help heal dry skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and ichthyosis, this lotion is unscented, hypoallergenic, and includes ingredients that are both safe, non-irritating and nourishing. The primary component, Urea, acts to moisturize and decrease discomfort and inflammation associated with dry skin, as well as improve cellular renewal.
It can be challenging to find a lotion that's not packed full of irritating fragrances and fillers like petrolatum and mineral oil. Leaf Skin Therapy Lotion is a nice change for effectively penetrating dry skin, especially for those of us who struggle with eczema. This lotion is family friendly too — can be used by mom, dad, kids and baby! This fragrance-free lotion is just that — barely discernible and a small squirt of this silky lotion goes a long way. We were primarily impressed with how quickly Leaf Skin Therapy Lotion sinks into the skin without feeling greasy, and yet it leaves a moisturized feeling on your hands for a long time afterward! Impressive and effective! We also love the perfect purse-size container it comes in and flip top to prevent spills.

January 29, 1915
Gervais, Oregon
$3,000,000 Timber Land Deal Closed in Oregon
With the purchase of this tract, the Shevlin interest now own a body of yellow pine timber in Central Oregon of about 180,000 acres. They have been investing in Oregon timber lands for a number of years, and next to the Weyerhaeuser Timber co. they are the largest holders of yellow pine timber in the state.
The tract just taken over by the Shevlin adjoins their other holdings. The timber is said to be of exceptionally fine quality of yellow pine, and with easy grades and the absence of dense underbrush, the tract is ideal for logging operations. It is announced that the plans are being formulated to begin logging in the near furture.
Salem, Oregon. - Oregon's historic Statehouse was endangered for a time Sunday by fire which started shortly before 5:00 o'clock p.m. following an explosion of oil in the central heating plant, just outside the basement of the Capitol. The entire interior of the heating plant was a mass of flames and the blaze leaped out the skylight and up along the side of the Statehouse. Quick work by state officials, state employees and the Salem fire dept., soon had the blaze under control.
It was feared that two filled oil tanks would explode, but this danger was eliminated by Joe Bernaradi, fireman, who rushed through the flames and shut the pipe which feeds oil to the burner of the heater.
There is a strong movement by members of the members of the present legislature to abolish Game Protection Fund by taking the license money paid in by hunters and anglers and put it in the General Fund; also of doing away with present commission form of admistration [sic] and throw the whole matter into politics by having the governor appoint the fish and game wardens.
Both these measures were radically opposed by the combined sportsmen's organizations all over the state at the annual convention held last Dec.
If you want more birds in the field more fish in the streams, we ask you to write a personal letter of protest immediately to your representatives and senators in the legislature asking that they vote against these changes. Do it now.
Fishing and hunting in this state are attracting people from every part of the country. Maine values her fish and game resources at $20,000,000 a year. California at $10,000,000 a year. Neither of these states has a better opportunity than Oregon to become a sportsmans paradise. The Deschutes, the Rouge, the McKenzie and other streams are known througout the United States from an anglers standpoint. Hunting in eastern and southern Oregon are also renowned. The outside sportsman are people who have money to spend money to invest. They buy equipment and stores; they spend money at hotels and for transportation and they constitute the states most profitable class of tourist travel. And for our own people, there is no better form of recreation, physically mentally and morally.

text: Tsipras called the confidence vote after his right-wing coalition partner quit the government last week [Petros Giannakouris/AP Photo] Athens, Greece - The government of Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has survived a vote of confidence by a whisker, keeping alive hopes it may ratify an agreement with former Yugoslav Macedonia that would rename the country North Macedonia. "We shall have a confidence vote and we shall continue," Tsipras declared confidently before the vote in parliament on Wednesday. His ruling Syriza party was left with a minority of 145 MPs in the 300-seat legislature on Sunday, after its junior coalition partner, Panos Kammenos, leader of the Independent Greeks party, walked out in disagreement over the Macedonia deal. Tsipras called for a vote of confidence in order to rebuild his majority and serve out his full term to October. Five MPs bolted from Independent Greeks to back him, and he won over another MP from the centre-right party, Potami, securing a 151-seat majority. "The entire political scene is being reordered," said Deputy Defence Minister Fotis Kouvelis. "I believe the [Macedonia] agreement is cutting through the political system." Macedonian parliament agrees to change country's name (3:43) Kyriakos Mitsotakis, leader of the conservative New Democracy opposition party, saw the process of government majority-building quite differently during a heated debate bristling with allegations. "This disgrace of borrowing MPs back and forth in order to create temporary majorities ... You have used foreign policy to undermine national unity," he accused Tsipras "This isn't called patriotism. It's called opportunism," Mitsotakis added. For his part, Kammenos told Tsipras in parliament: "I ask you to stop the discussion on a vote of confidence and to announce that we are going to submit to the vote of the Greek people, and that we will respect that vote." Tsipras has rejected the idea of a referendum on the Macedonia deal. He plans to bring it to a parliamentary vote, possibly as early as next week, but not all 151 MPs who gave him a vote of confidence support the deal. Decades-long dispute Greece and former Yugoslav Macedonia have been locked in a conflict over that country's name for 27 years. If ratified in Greece, the deal would remove a Greek veto on the country's membership in NATO and the European Union as North Macedonia, and could help speed up reforms by other applicants from the former Yugoslavia. The deal was announced in June after a six-month negotiation, and former Yugoslav Macedonia ratified it last week. Greece PM unveils plan to climb out of economic crisis (2:17) When Yugoslavia broke up in 1991, its southernmost state declared independence as the Republic of Macedonia. Greece rejected that name, on the grounds that the new country could express designs on the northern Greek region of Macedonia, with which it shares a border. After vetoing former Yugoslav Macedonia's entry into NATO in 2008, Greece agreed to settle on a name that contains the term Macedonia plus a qualifier. Many Greeks are against even that compromise; and many are alarmed that the agreement recognises Macedonian nationality, believing that it can easily be mistaken to imply an indigenous Macedonian ethnicity. That, they believe, could ignite competitive claims on ancient Greek history and heritage. Greece's northern neighbour attempted to assuage such fears, saying in a diplomatic communique on Wednesday that "the term nationality refers exclusively to citizenship and does not designate or prejudge the question of the ethnicity of the citizens of North Macedonia." "We are opposed [to the agreement] not because the government negotiated, but because it failed to understand what is non-negotiable," wrote 12 academics in an open letter to Tsipras. Some MPs elected in the Greek region of Macedonia received death threats. Deputy Public Order Minister Katerina Papakosta offered her resignation after she received pictures of women with bashed-in heads. Tsipras did not accept it. A 63-year-old man was arrested in Athens on Monday, for allegedly sending threatening text messages to MPs' mobile phones. Tsipras' legislative to-do list goes well beyond the signature Macedonia name deal. The prime minister says he wants to amend the constitution to make cabinet ministers more accountable, increase the minimum wage and pass legislation protecting primary residences from foreclosure, as banks clamp down on nonperforming loans.

Mayor's Corner 01/17/2019
Dear Friends:
We're always looking for new businesses here in the city. There would be no better news than to have a company looking at our valley favorably when considering starting or expanding a business. We need to have different sites available for different needs, and we do.
As many of you know, we have a business park south of town. It's on the East side of Highway 118, near the Sevier County Maintenance Yard. The park contains 70-plus acres of land, with all the utilities installed and ready for development. You can help! Each of us has a different circle of acquaintances and contacts. Please be on the lookout lookout for small manufacturers who want a beautiful, functional location that is ready for tenants.
There are other locations that fit into Opportunity Tax Zones on the west side of our community.. Sevier County Economic Development Director Malcolm Nash can explain the advantages of building or investing in an Opportunity Zone.
Everyone probably gets tired of hearing me say to shop locally. It may sound like an old, tired phrase, but that doesn't make it any less important. Every resident should understand how the dollars spent with local merchants go all around our community several times. It's really the life-blood of a regional hub such as Richfield.
In my experience, our local businesses are very competitive for most goods and services. Let's make our own retailers the first and last place to shop. If I honestly look at it, I have never once saved by traveling north or south to shop. When you factor in the cost of travel, including eating, and the FACT that you buy more than you intended to buy, we would all be better off to shop here! Besides, I haven't seen too many stores from Salt Lake or St. George with their names on our baseball fields or supporting any number of local causes. Let's support those who make our community great!Mayor David Ogden

(Corvallis, OR) -- Oregon State University is out with some new research suggesting that kids who are gay, lesbian, or bisexual are at a higher risk of substance abuse. OSU says that youth who are in that sexual minority have reported nearly three times more substance abuse than those who are heterosexual. An assistant professor at the school says this may be because of stress from discrimination, violence and victimization. She suggests health care providers begin doing substance abuse screenings on youth who define themselves as gay, lesbian, or bisexual.
