Non-Commercial Service Obligations and Liberalisation Non-Commercial Service Obligations 2003 The OECD Competition Committee debated non-commercial service obligations in October 2003. This document includes an executive summary and the documents from the meeting: an analytical note by Mr. Sean Ennis for the OECD, written submissions from Australia, Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, the European Commission, Hungary, Japan, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland, Chinese Taipei, the United States, as well as an aide-memoire of the discussion. Universal service obligations are common in many of the infrastructure sectors. The obligations are often cited as a justification for limiting entry of new providers because the new providers would cherry-pick the high profit customers who provide the basis for subsidisation of another group of customers. When obligations are beneficial, there are a number of policy traps that can be encountered. Obligations are often not well-focused on the customers who are meant to receive help. Obligations are frequently defined narrowly in ways that disfavour new technologies and cause extensive waste; and financing for the non- commercial obligations can often be raised in more efficient ways than through cross-subsidies and can often be spent on multiple service providers rather than one preferred provider. Falling into these traps can create incentives for over-investment in certain infrastructure technology and under-investment in other technology. This document provides guidance on the competition problems that can arise from universal service obligations and on some ways to limit these problems.

  • Ignoring the Sacroiliac Joint in Chronic Low Back Pain Is Costly
    ClinicoEconomics and Outcomes Research Dovepress open access to scientific and medical research Open Access Full Text Article ORIGINAL RESEARCH Ignoring the sacroiliac joint in chronic low back pain is costly David W Polly1,2 Background: Increasing evidence supports minimally invasive sacroiliac joint (SIJ) fusion as Daniel Cher3 a safe and effective treatment for SIJ dysfunction. Failure to include the SIJ in the diagnostic evaluation of low back pain could result in unnecessary health care expenses. 1Department of Orthopedic Surgery, 2Department of Neurosurgery, Design: Decision analytic cost model. University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Methods: A decision analytic model calculating 2-year direct health care costs in patients with MN, 3SI-BONE, Inc., San Jose, CA, USA chronic low back pain considering lumbar fusion surgery was used. Results: The strategy of including the SIJ in the preoperative diagnostic workup of chronic low back pain saves an expected US$3,100 per patient over 2 years. Cost savings were robust to reasonable ranges for costs and probabilities, such as the probability of diagnosis and the probability of successful surgical treatment. Conclusion: Including the SIJ as part of the diagnostic strategy in preoperative patients with chronic low back pain is likely to be cost saving in the short term. Keywords: chronic low back pain, lumbar fusion, sacroiliac joint pain, sacroiliac joint fusion, healthcare costs, decision modeling Background Chronic back pain continues to be an important health epidemic. In its recent report, the World Health Organization included medications for chronic pain on its priority list of conditions.1 Chronic back pain is a common cause of loss of disability-adjusted life years globally.2 Degeneration of the lumbar spine is a common finding, and lumbar fusion (LF) has become an increasingly used surgery to treat chronic low back pain associated with various causes.

  • TOTO Bio (PDF)
    TOTO Bio Few ensembles in the history of recorded music have individually or collectively had a larger imprint on pop culture than the members of TOTO. As individuals, the band members’ imprint can be heard on an astonishing 5000 albums that together amass a sales history of a HALF A BILLION albums. Amongst these recordings, NARAS applauded the performances with 225 Grammy nominations. Band members were South Park characters, while Family Guy did an entire episode on the band's hit "Africa." As a band, TOTO sold 35 million albums, and today continue to be a worldwide arena draw staging standing room only events across the globe. They are pop culture, and are one of the few 70s bands that have endured the changing trends and styles, and 35 years in to a career enjoy a multi-generational fan base. It is not an exaggeration to estimate that 95% of the world's population has heard a performance by a member of TOTO. The list of those they individually collaborated with reads like a who's who of Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, alongside the biggest names in music. The band took a page from their heroes The Beatles playbook and created a collective that features multiple singers, songwriters, producers, and multi-instrumentalists. Guitarist Steve Lukather aka Luke has performed on 2000 albums, with artists across the musical spectrum that include Michael Jackson, Roger Waters, Miles Davis, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck, Don Henley, Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick and many more.

  • “Believe” (Cher Cover)
    March 28, 2019 For Immediate Release Okay Kaya Signs to Jagjaguwar Listen to New Single “Believe” (Cher Cover) https://okaykaya.ffm.to/believe Photo Credit: Nadine Fraczkowski "Kaya Wilkins escapes music-industry servitude and speaks truth on her own terms in a frank, often melancholy bedroom-pop debut leavened by diaristic sarcasm.” - Pitchfork "Wilkins is—without question—embarking on her boldest, most empowered chapter yet” - Vogue "subdued, silky pop — introduced us to her alternate universe” - The Fader "potential to be the next biggest thing in music.” - Noisey Jagjaguwar is proud to announce new signing Okay Kaya, the project of Norwegian- born, New York-based Kaya Wilkins, and present her new single, a cover of Cher’s late-career club powerhouse, “Believe.” True to form, Okay Kaya’s take breaks the song down to it’s most crushing pieces, velvet-smooth vocals gliding over a relaxed bass beat and lilting synth. “It’s the perfect song,” Wilkins said. “It’s hopeful. It’s sad. It’s a break-up anthem - and a fuck you.” Wilkins constructs svelte, jazz-inflected songs — which, more often than not, feature just her effortless, breathy contralto; her fancy-chord-sounding guitar figurations; and minimal, innovative accoutrement. Her deadpan, cutting lyrics are sung in a way so patient, gorgeous and smooth you assume they must have a Lexapro prescription. “Believe” follows Okay Kaya’s debut album, Both, released last year. Across the album, Wilkins covers a lot of ground - the state of American women’s healthcare, mental health, and self-empowerment.
