Of the many challenges that labs face in the coming years, the most critical one is the PAMA (Patient Access to Medicare Act) concern. This Act initiated by Congress has been to reduce the payment to laboratories selectively over other medical services. The intent of Congress was to pick on a small segment of the Health Care Industry that could not easily combat or fight back these reductions. The original intent was to reduce payments to laboratories by about 100 million dollars. CMS did not follow the intent of Congress and wrote the rules that have resulted in a reduction of close to two thirds of a Billion dollars, approximately $670,000,000. This magnitude of reduction will within a few years reduce the number of laboratories to a very few mega labs that will be able to have a monopoly on the laboratory industry and it will raise havoc with the access of lab services to Medicare recipients. Money will be saved short term as now a Lab courier/phlebotomist is paid about 2 dollars to go out and collect a lab specimen and another $2.94 for the blood draw, costing Medicare about $4.94. In a few years after the small labs are gone and many locations will not have currier service any longer the Hospital Emergency Department will be contacted to send out an ambulance to bring the patient in to the ER, to have the blood drawn and then another ambulance to take the patient back to the Nursing Facility. This 10 to 15 thousand dollar cost will be significantly higher than the present cost of $4.94. Most other concerns for the laboratories will be minor compared to PAMA (Preventing Access to Medicare Act) and the destructive effects that this one Act will have done to Laboratories. Adding to the concerns for laboratories is the shortage of personnel, as the number of new graduates is not keeping up with the demand. Compounding this problem is that the salaries of Techs are now significantly below what the RN’s are paid, and there are less persons wanting to enter a program that is not wage competitive. For a profession that furnishes close to 70% of the information utilized by a physician making a diagnosis, that is a sorry state. My advice, contact your congressperson, have your friends do it also, but it may already be too late. William K. Dettwyler, MT LEGISLATIVE Chair - ORSSAMT 2018 3 DELEGATE REPORT It is always special to attend the AMT convention and reconnect with friends as well meet new members. The scientific program was interesting and relevant. As a 60 year member of AMT I always learn something new in the medical field. All Child abuse is disturbing and the speaker explained “ Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy” form of abuse. The perpetuator is usually the parent of primary caregiver. The perpetuator keeps the child ill by various means. By keeping the child ill they receive attention for caring a chronically sick child. The speaker explained there is a psychiatric condition and it also is a hard form of abuse to prove. “Blood Product Deviation from FDA: Information New Managers Should Know:, The speaker shared the information about what blood product deviation is and what has to be reported to the FDA. It is critical that everyone involved in the manufacture of blood products to the administering of blood products to the patients have the information. The speaker shared what has to be reported , how to report it and where to report it. Finally, “Special Needs of the Geriatric Patient” was helpful in understanding those changes as we age. The speaker explained needs with hearing loss, needs with sight loss and changes in the body. An example of changes is hair loss in some spots and hair gain in other places. The medical staff needs to understand all of the needs and changes in their patents. It will be helpful in helping the patient as well of those in our personal life. I thank the AMT staff and AMT officers, Board of Directors and all of the committees who make the convention terrific every year. Audrienne Whitley, MT DELEGATE REPORT AMT convention was very good as usual this year in Washington DC. I wish more of you could have attended. It is always a pleasure to meet and greet old friends and to make new friends. I attended many sessions but I found I needed to pay attention to this particular class. I went to a class on Melanoma. It is a very deadly and the most common form of skin cancer in the U.S. It can develop any where in the body. Be aware of changes in moles. As in color, asymmetry, diameter etc. It attacks basil cells, and they advised to not use sun tan beds as they increase the possibility of Melanoma, and stay out of the direct sun between 10am and 2pm. UV radiation causes muta- tion in the skin. Especially UV exposure-blistering sunburn before the age of 18. Too much sun when you are young affects you when you are old. In other words if you notice changes of any kind, have it checked out. Care: See your dermatologist who may send you to an oncologist if needed Treatment: Depends on the stage 1,2,3,4. Care could be medication, radiation, chemo or surgery. Thank you for sending me as your RMA delegate to National convention this year. Hope you can attend nest year. Have a good and safe year. 4 Sincerely, Louise Isbell RMA(AMT) WESTERN DISTRICT COUNCILLOR’S MESSAGE AMT's 80th Educational Meeting and Educational Program was held at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill.

  • Landscapes of Korean and Korean American Biblical Interpretation
    BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION AMERICAN AND KOREAN LANDSCAPES OF KOREAN International Voices in Biblical Studies In this first of its kind collection of Korean and Korean American Landscapes of Korean biblical interpretation, essays by established and emerging scholars reflect a range of historical, textual, feminist, sociological, theological, and postcolonial readings. Contributors draw upon ancient contexts and Korean American and even recent events in South Korea to shed light on familiar passages such as King Manasseh read through the Sewol Ferry Tragedy, David and Bathsheba’s narrative as the backdrop to the prohibition against Biblical Interpretation adultery, rereading the virtuous women in Proverbs 31:10–31 through a Korean woman’s experience, visualizing the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and demarcations in Galatians, and introducing the extrabiblical story of Eve and Norea, her daughter, through story (re)telling. This volume of essays introduces Korean and Korean American biblical interpretation to scholars and students interested in both traditional and contemporary contextual interpretations.

  • "Grammaticality Judgment"
    Prosodic Influence on Syntactic Judgments * Yoshihisa Kitagawa and Janet Dean Fodor Indiana University Graduate Center, CUNY We argue for the importance of controlling prosody in soliciting syntactic judgments. Through the analyses of a variety of complex Wh-constructions in Japanese, we first attempt to reveal that a construction which requires a non-default prosody is vulnerable to misjudgments of syntactic well- formedness when it is presented to the subjects in writing. We then report on our pilot experiments on the comparison of grammaticality judgments of written and spoken sentences in both English and Japanese, which supports our claim. Keywords: implicit prosody, default prosody, parsing, Wh-questions in Japanese, long-distance scrambling, 1. Introduction It appears that there is a rebellion in the making, against the intuitive judgments of syntacticians as a privileged database for the development of syntactic theory. Such intuitions may be deemed inadequate because they are not sufficiently representative of the language community at large. The judgments are generally few and not statistically validated, and they are made by sophisticated people who are not at all typical users of the language. Linguists are attuned to subtle syntactic distinctions, about which they have theories. However, our concern in this paper is with the opposite problem: that even the most sophisticated judges may occasionally miss a theoretically significant fact about well- formedness. In the 1970‟s it was observed that in order to make a judgment of syntactic well- formedness one must sometimes be creative. It was noted that some sentences, such as (1), are perfectly acceptable in a suitable discourse context, and completely unacceptable otherwise (e.g., as the initial sentence of a conversation; see Morgan (1973).

  • The K-Pop Wave: an Economic Analysis
    The K-pop Wave: An Economic Analysis Patrick A. Messerlin1 Wonkyu Shin2 (new revision October 6, 2013) ABSTRACT This paper first shows the key role of the Korean entertainment firms in the K-pop wave: they have found the right niche in which to operate— the ‘dance-intensive’ segment—and worked out a very innovative mix of old and new technologies for developing the Korean comparative advantages in this segment. Secondly, the paper focuses on the most significant features of the Korean market which have contributed to the K-pop success in the world: the relative smallness of this market, its high level of competition, its lower prices than in any other large developed country, and its innovative ways to cope with intellectual property rights issues. Thirdly, the paper discusses the many ways the K-pop wave could ensure its sustainability, in particular by developing and channeling the huge pool of skills and resources of the current K- pop stars to new entertainment and art activities. Last but not least, the paper addresses the key issue of the ‘Koreanness’ of the K-pop wave: does K-pop send some deep messages from and about Korea to the world? It argues that it does. Keywords: Entertainment; Comparative advantages; Services; Trade in services; Internet; Digital music; Technologies; Intellectual Property Rights; Culture; Koreanness.

  • Csuri (Charles)
    INTERVIEW WITH CHUCK CSURI JUNE 10, 2003 Q. This is the Ohio State University Oral History Project. This is the Charles Csuri summary deposition, recorded on Tuesday, June 10, 2002. I’m Robert Butche, Principal Historian of the Csuri research, and with me is Charles Csuri. Good morning, Chuck. A. Good morning. Q. I want to start this conversation we’re going to have today with your youth. When were you born? A. I was born July 4, 1922. Q. And the world’s been celebrating ever since? A. Oh yes. Q. Where? A. In Grantown, West Virginia, a small coal mining town. Q. And that was where your father was working as a miner at the time? A. That’s right. Q. And what other members of your family existed when you came along? A. When I came along, my brother Frank, and my brother Steve, were around. Q. And how much older were they? A. Frank was 11 years older and Steve 9 years older than I am. Q. What was life like in Grantown, Virginia in your youth? 1 A. Grantown, West Virginia, small coaling mining town. There was no entertainment. Whatever you could do as a youngster was entertainment. And when you’re young like that I suppose you don’t notice the degree of poverty, the hardship, as much perhaps as one might when they’re older, looking back, especially when I think in terms of what my parents had to endure. We rented a house. The toilet was outside. There was no indoor toilets.

The way in which individuals are exposed to different genres and types of music helps illustrate the extent to which globalization has had an impact on the world. Before the invention of the internet, music was only available for purchase to consumers who went to record stores and physically purchased goods. Now, countless unique songs and genres are readily available with just a single search. Due to how easily consumers can access new music, digital distribution has completely overtaken the profit from selling physical copies of albums. In 2006, record labels still made $9.4 billion from CD sales in the United States, despite the fact that digital distribution entities, such as Napster and iTunes, provided digital copies of the same songs.
