## Geography

Loghill Village is located on Log Hill Mesa north of the town of Ridgway and northeast of Pleasant Valley. Loghill Village borders Ridgway State Park and Eldredge, though there is no direct road access between the two. Via road, Loghill Village is nearest to the town of Ridgway which can be seen from its position on the mesa.

Loghill is primarily covered in large Ponderosa Pine trees, piñons and junipers. Wildlife is abundant on the Mesa with a fairly large population of Mule Deer, Elk, Bobcats, Lynxes, Black Bears (of various colors), wild turkeys and an occasional sighting of mountain lions. Almost 1,000 feet higher than Ridgway, the types and sizes of flora vary greatly. For example, Aspen trees are seen here and there on the mesa, as opposed to the lower Ridgway valley where they are scarce. Aspens can be seen more abundantly in the foothills and mid mountain areas of the San Juan Mountains and Cimarrons.

The Loghill Village CDP has an area of 3,923 acres (15.874 km2), all land.

# WANS

**WANS** (1280 AM) was a southern gospel radio station located in Anderson, South Carolina, United States. The station was licensed by the FCC to broadcast with 5 kW nondirectional during the daytime and 1 kW directional at night.

## Station history

WANS 1280 AM had been in existence since June 1, 1949. For many years, it was a top 40 station. In the 1960s, the call sign stood for "We're Anderson's Now Sound". Later..."We're Anderson's New Sound".

WANS paired up with 100,000-watt WANS-FM 107.3 (now WJMZ-FM) in the 1960s. The stations had separate feeds and broadcast from studios located on Clemson Blvd. in Anderson. The two stations were wildly popular for many years. A large WANS-AM/FM sign was erected in front of the studios on Clemson Blvd. and advertised local Anderson stores and community events. In 1988, new studios were built beside the existing ones. After new ownership took over in 1990, declining ratings and loss of key staff caused a steep decline in ratings for both the AM and FM stations. In 1992, the stations went bankrupt. WANS-FM moved to Greenville, South Carolina. The WANS studios on Clemson Blvd. were sold. From 1992 to late 1993, WANS operated from the transmitter site nearby. The station began simulcasting WFBC (1330 AM)'s newstalk feed out of Greenville, South Carolina.

In late 1993, WRIX-AM-FM owner Matt Phillips purchased WANS and moved all operations back to Anderson. WANS-FM changed its call sign to WJMZ-FM. WANS aired *The Matt and Bev* Show from WRIX. WANS then played a mix of oldies music and standards for several years with live and local DJs such as Jerry Peeler's beach show and Jimmy Gilstrap's classic 1960s and 1970s rock-n-roll, which was live every Saturday. In early 2000, the station became all Carolina beach oldies headed by longtime WANS DJ and manager Dann Scott. In 2005, the station went all sports talk from ESPN Radio. Over the years, it would also play other talk programming. In 2013, it went to all sports talk again from Fox Sports Radio. In November 2014, WANS flipped to a classic hits format and was simulcast with WRIX-FM 103.1. Owner Tom Ervin donated WRIX-AM-FM and WANS to the Power Foundation out of Greenville, South Carolina, which operates southern gospel radio stations in other markets. In late February 2015, WANS was flipped to 1950s-1970s oldies. It was then paired with an FM translator 107.7 FM. This put WANS back on FM for the first time since 1992. On March 1, 2015, the simulcast with WHQA (formerly WRIX-FM) 103.1 ended. WHQA flipped to a southern gospel format, and WANS 1280 and 107.7 FM flipped to classic hits.

WANS was the sister station to WRIX and WHQA. In September 2008, the format was shifted from ESPN sports/talk to news/talk, the former format and lineup of sister station WRIX-FM 103.1, which shifted to adult contemporary on the same day. WANS broadcast the ESPN Radio network late at night and on weekends.

WANS carried all Anderson Joes baseball games live until the league went under. They had broadcast many different sports from Anderson University and football games from Coastal Carolina University. They also aired all of the Westside High School Ram football games.

On January 25, 2013, WANS changed its format from news/talk to sports, with programming from Fox Sports Radio. Tom Ervin purchased WANS in 2013.

WANS celebrated 65 years on the air on June 1, 2014, with a radio special hosted by upstate radio veteran "Jazzy" Jeff Bright, host of *The Greatest Hits* on sister station WRIX-FM 103.1.

On November 29, 2014, WANS changed its format from sports to classic hits, simulcasting WRIX-FM 103.1. The flip to 1950s-1970s oldies and end of having the same feed as WHQA (formerly WRIX-FM) began on March 1, 2015. WANS had been back on FM with a translator on 107.7 MHz FM; WANS was on FM for the first time since 1992.

On December 1, 2016, WANS changed its format to southern gospel, branded as "God's Country".

The Federal Communications Commission cancelled the station’s license on February 9, 2024, as WANS had been silent since at least March 15, 2022.

title: Metarhizium majus

abstract: Metarhizium majus is the name given to a group of fungal isolates that are known to be virulent against Scarabaeidae, a family of beetles. Previously, this species has had variety status in Metarhizium anisopliae and its name is derived from characteristically very large spores for the genus Metarhizium. There has been considerable interest in developing isolates of this species into mycoinsecticides: especially against the coconut and oil palm beetle pest Oryctes in SE Asia, the Pacific region and Africa. It is an anamorph, a suggested teleomorph was Cordyceps brittlebankisoides.

title: Mark Levinson ML-3

abstract:
The Mark Levinson ML-3 is a 200 watt per channel dual monaural Class AB2 power amplifier that uses two Avel Lindberg toroidal transformers in its powersupply and four huge Sprague Series 36DX, 36.000uF, 100 Volt capacitors. Produced between 1979 and 1987, the ML-3 consisted of two electrically separate amplifiers in one chassis, hence the name "Dual Monaural". It also features discrete circuit construction; no integrated circuits were incorporated to keep the signal pure. The design was by the late Thomas P. Colangelo. The ML-3 constituted the archetype of an American highend, highpower amplifier.
MLAS differentiated three types or versions of the ML-3. The first version had smaller Callins 18.000uF main filtercaps and no decoupling for the driver stage.
The second version added 1.700uF decoupling caps for the driver stage and WW Fischer Camac system in- and output connectors.
The latest version got a anti buzz circuit, double AC fuseholders and two dampingswitches at the back for optimizing output impedance of the amplifier towards the used loudspeaker. These could be later retrofitted on earlier versions.

title: Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate

abstract: The Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) was a method used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in the United States to control spending by Medicare on physician services. President Barack Obama signed a bill into law on April 16, 2015, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, which ended use of the SGR. The measure went into effect in July 2015. Enacted by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 to amend Section 1848(f) of the Social Security Act, the SGR replaced the Medicare Volume Performance Standard (MVPS), which was the previous method that CMS used in an attempt to control costs. Generally, this was a method to ensure that the yearly increase in the expense per Medicare beneficiary did not exceed the growth in GDP. Every year, the CMS sent a report to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, which advised the U.S. Congress on the previous year's total expenditures and the target expenditures. The report also included a conversion factor that would change the payments for physician services for the next year in order to match the target SGR. If the expenditures for the previous year exceeded the target expenditures, then the conversion factor would decrease payments for the next year. If the expenditures were less than expected, the conversion factor would increase the payments to physicians for the next year. On March 1 of each year, the physician fee schedule was updated accordingly. The implementation of the physician fee schedule update to meet the target SGR could be suspended or adjusted by Congress, as was done regularly. The repeated task of implementing a "doc fix" led to the permanent repeal of the SGR, or "permanent doc fix," in 2015.

# Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate

The **Medicare Sustainable Growth Rate** (SGR) was a method used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in the United States to control spending by Medicare on physician services.

President Barack Obama signed a bill into law on April 16, 2015, the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015, which ended use of the SGR. The measure went into effect in July 2015.

Enacted by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 to amend Section 1848(f) of the Social Security Act, the SGR replaced the *Medicare Volume Performance Standard* (MVPS), which was the previous method that CMS used in an attempt to control costs. Generally, this was a method to ensure that the yearly increase in the expense per Medicare beneficiary did not exceed the growth in GDP. Every year, the CMS sent a report to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, which advised the U.S. Congress on the previous year's total expenditures and the target expenditures. The report also included a conversion factor that would change the payments for physician services for the next year in order to match the target SGR. If the expenditures for the previous year exceeded the target expenditures, then the conversion factor would decrease payments for the next year. If the expenditures were less than expected, the conversion factor would increase the payments to physicians for the next year. On March 1 of each year, the physician fee schedule was updated accordingly. The implementation of the physician fee schedule update to meet the target SGR could be suspended or adjusted by Congress, as was done regularly (this was referred to as a **doc fix**). The repeated task of implementing a "doc fix" led to the permanent repeal of the SGR, or "permanent doc fix," in 2015.

## Formula

Section 1848(f)2 of the Social Security Act specified the formula for calculating the SGR. There were four factors used in calculating the SGR:

1. The estimated percentage change in fees for physicians’ services.
2. The estimated percentage change in the average number of Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries.
3. The estimated 10-year average annual percentage change in real GDP per capita.
4. The estimated percentage change in expenditures due to changes in law or regulations.

Prior to the enactment of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act (MMA), the SGR was calculated using a single year's real GDP per capita. After the MMA was enacted in 2003, the SGR was calculated using a 10-year annual average growth in real GDP per capita.

## Conversion factor

In order to meet the target SGR for the next calendar year, the physician fee schedule was updated accordingly. The update was calculated using two factors:

1. One plus the Medicare Economic Index (MEI)
2. One plus the Update Adjustment Factor (UAF)

The MEI measured the weighted average price change for various inputs involved with producing physicians’ services. The UAF compared actual and target expenditures and was determined by a formula that included the target and actual expenditures and the SGR. By law, the UAF could not exceed -7.0%.

### Past adjustments

#### 2000 - 2009 adjustments

Section 101 of the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 (MIEA-TRHCA) provided a 1-year update of 0% for the conversion factor for CY 2007 and specified that the conversion factor for CY 2008 must be computed as if the 1-year update had never applied. Section 101 of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 (MMSEA) provided a 6-month increase of 0.5% in the CY 2008 conversion factor, from January 1, 2008, through June 30, 2008, and specified that the conversion factor for the remaining portion of 2008 and the conversion factors for CY 2009 and subsequent years must be computed as if the 6-month increase had never applied. Section 131 of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) extended the increase in the CY 2008 conversion factor that was applicable for the first half of the year to the entire year, provided for a 1.1% increase to the CY 2009 conversion factor, and specified that the conversion factors for CY 2010 and subsequent years must be computed as if the increases had never applied.

#### 2010 - 2013 adjustments

The estimated SGR to go into effect on March 1, 2010, was -8.8%, and the conversion factor for the physician fee schedule was -21.3%. On March 3, 2010, Congress delayed the enforcement of the conversion factor until April 1, 2010, with the passage of the Temporary Extension Act of 2010. On April 15, 2010, Congress enacted the Continuing Extension Act of 2010 to again delay the implementation and extended the 2009 rate to June 1, 2010. On June 25, 2010, President Obama signed the Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010 that not only delayed implementation of the conversion factor until December 1, 2010, but also increased reimbursements by 2.2%. The 2.2% increase was retroactive to June 1, 2010, and expired on November 30, 2010. On December 16, 2010, President Obama signed the Medicare and Medicaid Extenders Act of 2010 into law, delaying the implementation of the SGR until January 1, 2012. This prevented a 25% decrease in Medicare reimbursements from taking effect on January 1, 2011.

When President Obama signed the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 on February 22, 2012, the implementation of the conversion factor was again delayed until January 1, 2013, when the cut was estimated to be 27.4%. Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 on January 1, 2013, which stated in section 601 that the conversion factor for 2013 "shall be zero percent." This delayed the implementation of the conversion factor until January 1, 2014.

#### 2014-2015 adjustments

The SGR was supposed to trigger the next set of Medicare reimbursement cuts on April 1, 2014, for cuts of 24 percent. In order to avoid this, the House and Senate turned to yet another bill to delay the SGR cuts until March 2015. That bill was the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (H.R. 4302; 113th Congress).

## Previous MVPS/SGRs and conversion factors

The table on the left is a table of past years' SGR. Prior to the MMA, the MVPS was in use instead of the SGR. The Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 (BBRA) changed the calculation from fiscal year (FY) to calendar year (CY). The table on the right is a list of the actual yearly MEI and physician fee update conversion factor. The physician update reflects a weighted average for FY 1991-1993 when there were two different updates (one for surgery and one for other services), and for FY 1994 through FY 1997 when there were three different updates (for surgery, primary care, and other services). The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 consolidated service-specific updates so that starting in FY 1998, primary care, surgical, and nonsurgical services were updated by the same rate.

# Pilar Rioja

**María del Pilar Rioja del Olmo** (Torreón, Mexico, September 13, 1932) is a Mexican dancer who focused her career on Spanish dance.

## Biography

Her training included mastering all branches of this dance: the bolero school, the folkloric, the classical, the stylized, and the flamenco dance. Her contribution was the "innovative idea of introducing castanets into dance, with Italian and Spanish baroque music", an idea that she derived from her work with Domingo José Samperio, who invented "concerted crotalogy". It is also considered to be characterized by fusing the flamenco tradition with traditional Mexican dances. In the U.S., she was called the "María Callas of dance".

Since 2003, Rioja has won program support for the creation of the *Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes* (FONCA), conducting research in several areas. The investigations she has carried out include:

* Abriendo puertas a la expresión (2012).
* Danzas de ida y vuelta - mestizaje (2013).
* Mis historias-autobiografía (2013-2014).
* La influencia de intelectuales y artistas en mi danza (2015).
* La escuela bolera del siglo XVIII (2016).

# Ōnohara Islands

The **Ōnohara Islands** (大野原島, *Ōnohara-jima*) are a group of volcanic deserted islands located in the Philippine Sea approximately 180 kilometres (110 mi) south of Tokyo and 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) west of Miyake-jima, in the northern portion of the Izu archipelago, Japan. The group is also known as **Sanbon-dake** (三本岳, *lit. “Three Peaks”*) from its profile.

## Geography

Ōnohara-jima consists of nine main islets and several smaller rocks and stacks. The island is the remnant of an andesite lava dome with sheer sides, the only visible portion of a submarine volcanic caldera. The above sea-level portion has a surface area of approximately 0.2 square kilometers, with a summit height of 114 metres (374 ft) on the main islet of Koyasu-shima (小安島).

Located in the Kuroshio Current, the area has abundant sea life, and is popular with sports fishermen and scuba divers.

During the Korean War, aircraft of the US Air Force used Ōnohara-jima as a bombing range, endangering the Japanese murrelet, a rare seabird that breeds on Ōnohara-jima. The bombing was stopped after Jack Moyer wrote a letter to an associate of then-US President Harry S. Truman.

title: Metatony

abstract: In linguistics, metatony refers to the change of nature of accent, usually within the same syllable. When the accent also changes its syllable, the process is called metataxis. Metataxis can also be analyzed as a combination of accent movement and metatony. The term is usually used when referring to accentual developments in the history of Baltic and Slavic languages which exhibited numerous such developments, representing the accentual equivalent of sound change.

# Metatony

In linguistics, **metatony** refers to the change of nature of accent (its intonation, or tone), usually within the same syllable. When the accent also changes its syllable, the process is called **metataxis**. Metataxis can also be analyzed as a combination of accent movement and metatony. The term is usually used when referring to accentual developments in the history of Baltic and Slavic languages which exhibited numerous such developments, representing the accentual equivalent of sound change.

## Slavic metatony

In South Slavic languages (Serbo-Croatian and Slovene) Proto-Slavic old acute accent ⟨ő⟩ was shortened. Its direct reflex is the short falling accent ⟨ȍ⟩ in standard Serbo-Croatian, whereas standard Slovene has long rising accent ⟨ó⟩ with younger length.

* Common Slavic \*bra̋trъ "brother" \> Serbo-Croatian *brȁt*/бра̏т, Slovene *bràt*

In all Serbo-Croatian and Slovene dialects, in nominative singular of o- and i-stems the stem-final syllable of accent paradigm *c* words is lengthened. For monsyllabics this amounts to lengthening of short circumflex accent ⟨ȍ⟩ to long circumflex ⟨ȏ⟩:

* Common Slavic \*bȍgъ "god" \> Serbo-Croatian *bȏg*/бо̑г, Slovene *bóg*

## Slavic metataxis

During the Proto-Slavic period the so-called neoacute accent was created by accent retraction owing to the reduction and ultimately loss of weak yers. There were two forms - ⟨ò⟩ the *short neoacute*, and ⟨õ⟩ the *long neoacute*. Short and long neoacute are traditionally marked with two different symbols, even though we're dealing with the same prosodeme on short and long vowels, respectively. Neoacute is traditionally reconstructed as a rising intonation on the basis of Slovene and Russian, and the description of dialectal Serbo-Croatian (Chakavian) ⟨õ⟩ as a rising tone. Short neoacute has a distinct reflex in Slovak and some Russian dialects.

## Baltic metatony

In Aukštaitian Lithuanian dialects a metatony occurred as a reflex of Balto-Slavic acute accent which is generally assumed to be a rising tone, and which was changed to a falling tone in Lithuanian. The new accent is also marked with an acute accent mark, but its nature has changed from rising to falling. This change, usually called Lithuanian metatony, is absent in Žemaitian dialects of Lithuanian where Balto-Slavic accented acute is reflected as a broken tone.

# Maroof (horse)

**Maroof** (12 April 1990  30 December 1999) was an American-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for his upset victory over a top-class field in the 1994 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes. He showed very promising form in his four races as a juvenile in 1992, winning the Group Three Vintage Stakes and finishing a close second in the Group One National Stakes. He had problems with injuries as a three-year-old and won one minor race from only two starts in the autumn. As a four-year-old he ran consistently, finishing second in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes, International Stakes and Park Stakes but appeared to be just below top class. On his final appearance however, he produced by far his best performance as he led from the start and won the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at odd of 66/1 from opponents including Barathea, Bigstone, Distant View, Turtle Island, East of the Moon and Sayyedati. He was retired to stud at the end of the year and had some success as a sire of winners in New Zealand. He died in 1999.

## Background

Maroof was a bay horse bred in Kentucky by his owner Hamdan Al Maktoum's Shadwell Farm. His sire Danzig, who ran only three times before his career was ended by injury, was a highly successful stallion who sired the winners of more than fifty Grade I/Group One races. His offspring include the champions Chief's Crown, Dayjur and Lure as well as the important stallions Green Desert and Danehill.

Maroof's dam Dish Dash was a high-class racemare who won the Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot and finished third in the Yorkshire Oaks in 1982. She became equally successful as a broodmare with her other descendants including Desert King and the Oaks d'Italia winner Contredanse.

Hamdan Al Maktoum opted to race Maroof in Europe and sent him into training with Robert Armstrong at his St Gatien stable in Newmarket in Suffolk. He was ridden in ten of thirteen his races by the Scottish jockey Willie Carson.

## Racing career

### 1992: two-year-old season

Maroof began his racing career in a maiden race over five furlongs at Lingfield Park Racecourse on 20 June. Starting at odds of 4/1 in a nine-runner field he took the lead after two furlongs and won by a length from Young Ern (later to win the Hungerford Stakes). In July he was moved up in distance for the Black Duck Stakes over six furlongs at York Racecourse and finished second of the three runners, beaten half a length by the Paul Cole-trained favourite Splendent. At the end of the month the colt was moved up in class and distance for the Group Three Vintage Stakes over seven furlongs at Goodwood Racecourse. He started at odds of 8/1 in a ten-runner field with his opponents including the Chesham Stakes winner Humam (the 4/1 favourite), Ancestral Dancer (a three-time Listed race winner in Italy) and Port Lucaya (later to win the Premio Vittorio di Capua). Maroof turned into the straight in fifth place behind the outsider Persian Revival, took the lead a furlong out, and won by a length and a half from Humam. On 19 September, Maroof was sent to Ireland and stepped up to the highest class for the Group One National Stakes over seven furlongs at the Curragh Racecourse and started 9/4 second favourite in a five-runner field. He took the early lead and set a steady pace before accelerating a quarter of a mile from the finish but was caught in the closing stages and beaten half a length by the Vincent O'Brien-trained favourite Fatherland.

### 1993: three-year-old season

Maroof had training problems in 1993 and missed the spring and summer before returning in September for a minor race over one mile at Newbury Racecourse. Ridden by Richard Hills he started the 7/4 favourite and led for most of the way before winning by one and a half lengths from Redenham. In October he was sent to France for the Group Two Prix du Rond Point over 1600 metres on heavy ground at Longchamp Racecourse. He finished third behind Voleris and Alflora with the favourite Gold Splash back in eighth place.

### 1994: four-year-old season

Maroof began his third season in the Lockinge Stakes at Newbury on 13 May and finished fifth of the eleven runners, six lengths behind the winner Emperor Jones. Later that month he was moved up in distance for the Brigadier Gerard Stakes over ten furlongs at Sandown Park Racecourse and finished second to Chatoyant. He was then sent to Ireland for the International Stakes at the Curragh on 26 June. He raced in second behind Alflora before taking the lead a furlong out but was caught in the final stride by the rallying Alflora and beaten a short head. The colt was dropped to Group Three class over ten furlongs at Ayr Racecourse in July and finished fourth behind Beneficial. In August he was back in Ireland and started favourite for the Desmond Stakes but ran poorly and beat only one of his nine opponents in a race won by Bin Ajwaad.

Richard Hills resumed his partnership with Maroof in the Park Stakes at Doncaster Racecourse on 8 September. He led for most of the way before being caught in the final strides and beaten a neck by the four-year-old gelding Soviet Line. Hills retained the ride when Maroof returned to Group One level for the first time in over two years for the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on good to soft ground at Ascot on 24 September. He was widely expected to serve as a pacemaker for his owner's more fancied runner Mehthaaf, winner of the Irish 1,000 Guineas who was ridden by Carson. The rest of the nine-runner field looked exceptionally strong, including Distant View, East of the Moon, Turtle Island, Ski Paradise (Prix du Moulin), Bigstone, Barathea and Sayyedati with Maroof the complete outsider at odds of 66/1. Hills sent Maroof into the lead from the start and set the pace from Distant View and Sayyedati whilst the other runners were restrained by their jockeys. In the straight Maroof showed no signs of weakening and stayed on "gamely" to win by one and a quarter lengths and a length from Barathea and Bigstone. Immediately after the race Robert Armstrong said "He has had an unlucky season, he was very well, he had his ground and the only amazing thing to me was the price. I thought he'd run a big race, and I backed him".

On his retirement from training in 2000, Armstong explained "Willie Carson always said Maroof needed to be held up, but Richard Hills, who rode him a lot of work, said: \`This horse wants be allowed to run'. We tried it at Doncaster, just before Ascot, and he was only just beat. In the QE2 I knew that if he could accelerate twice in the straight he'd win, and he did just that-eight Group 1 winners behind him and not the trace of a fluke about it."

## Stud record

Maroof was retired from racing to become a breeding stallion at the Cambridge Stud in New Zealand. He had early problems with fertility which led an insurance claim before he was bought back by the stud's owner Patrick Hogan. His fertility improved and he became quite successful, with his best offspring included Natural Blitz (Hong Kong Sprint), Maroofity (Manawatu Sires Produce Stakes), Figures (Champions Mile), Majestically (Summer Cup (ATC)) and Beat The Fade (Emancipation Stakes). He died of a ruptured blood vessel on 30 December 1999.

# Medicare Quality Cancer Care Demonstration Act

The **Medicare Quality Cancer Care Demonstration Act of 2009** (H.R. 2872) in the United States is a federal program designed to improve the quality of cancer care for elderly individuals covered by Medicare, with a particular focus on approximately 45% of cancer patients who are beneficiaries of the Medicare program.

## History and overview

This legislation for the Medicare Quality Cancer Care Demonstration Act was proposed in the US congress by Congressman Artur Davis (D-AL), with co-sponsorship from Representatives Steve Israel (D-NY) and Mary Jo Kilroy (D-OH), aims to enhance the quality of care for seniors while also addressing cost control measures.

The Quality Cancer Care Demonstration (QCCD) project was developed by a community of oncologists, with inputs from policy experts, to be a national Medicare demonstration project focused on two key aspects of cancer care: treatment planning and end-of-life care. Treatment planning involves all essential components of establishing the cancer care plan and monitoring its effectiveness. End-of-life care involves all essential components of patient-centric cancer care, relating to individuals facing end-of-life planning and decision-making.

By the Medicare payment system, H.R. 2872 calls for national reporting of key metrics of evidence-based care, and also refines those metrics; develops new Medicare performance-based reimbursement system that is patient-centric and quality driven, while aligning better with cost control.

The bill includes the following elements:

* Establish a national Medicare demonstration project implemented by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and is open to all oncology practices.
* Address current shortcomings in treatment planning and end-of-life care by improving metrics and aligning incentives relating to the care.
* Quality reporting measures by oncologists through the Medicare reimbursement system, concerning their treatment plans and end-of-life care. It would also include refinement and improvement of these plans.
* Allocate $300 million per year in Medicare funding to revise the Medicare payment system. Those payments would be based on quality and cost-efficiency.
* Incorporate the key elements under discussion in the healthcare reform debate — quality care delivery, evidence-based medicine, care coordination, patient-centric, cost control, health information technology, and pay-for-performance — in producing an evolved payment system.
* Evaluation of QCCD to determine the participation of oncologists and cost-effectiveness of the plan.
* Conducting of a demonstration project over a period of not less than two years to allow for improvement in reporting, metrics, and analysis.
* A substantive project that can be implemented within 6 months by CMS and will be available to all oncologists nationwide.
* Could serve as a model for other areas of specific care relating to terminal illness for Medicare beneficiaries.

# Pilotmotorenwerke Bannewitz

**Pilotmotorenwerke Bannewitz** (Pilot-Wagen) was a German carmaker that debuted in 1919 with the "Pilot" make. It went out of business in 1931.

## Origin

After World War One the Chemische Fabrik Orloff Hansen, which had previously manufactured munitions, changed to small car manufacturing under the amended company name Pilotmotorenwerke Bannewitz. Walter Wippermann managed the company. Its first car called the Pilot was the 6/22PS. The 1500 cc engine was the first German 16-valve four-cylinder engine in series production.

## Take-over

By 1924 the company had 150 employees and the cars were selling well. At the end of 1924 the rail carriage-maker, Sächsische Waggonfabrik Werdau AG, acquired a majority share holding and manufacture of the vehicle bodies was moved to Werdau. A new type, the 6/30, was introduced at this time and revised to a 6/36 in 1927. In addition to both open and closed cars, a delivery van was also produced for the short time the marque was in existence.

## Demise

Due to the continuing poor economic conditions in Germany at the time, the auto making firm was put into liquidation by Sächsische Waggonfabrik on 19 May 1928 after failed acquisition negotiations with Elite-Diamantwerke Brand-Erbisdorf AG. Sächsische Waggonfabrik then concentrated on rail production. Parts and repair operations continued under the administrator until 1931 when operations finally ceased.

## Existing cars

Three Pilot vehicles are known to be still in existence. Two are privately owned by Autohaus Seifert GmbH in Freital and the third is on display in the Dresden Transport Museum. The Dresen car does not have a standard Pilot body, but one made by Gläser in Dresden.


title: Vasile Pârvan

abstract: Vasile Pârvan was a Romanian historian and archaeologist.

text:
# Vasile Pârvan

**Vasile Pârvan** (Romanian pronunciation: \[vaˈsile pɨrˈvan\]; 28 September 1882 – 26 June 1927) was a Romanian historian and archaeologist.

## Biography

Pârvan was born in Perchiu, Huruiești commune, Bacău County. He came from a modest family, being the first child of the teacher Andrei Pârvan (with ancestors from Bessarabia) and of Aristița Chiriac (from Dobrenii Neamțului). He received the first name Vasile, as well as his uncle, Vasile Conta (his mother being the philosopher's cousin).

In 1913 Pârvan married Silvia Cristescu, niece of Ioan Bogdan, his former teacher. During World War I, he took refuge in Iași (in 1916) and then in Odessa (in 1917), where his wife died in childbirth.

Passionate about the work on site, Pârvan ignored the appendicitis he suffered from. He finally arrived on the operating table, but it was too late to save his life; he died in Bucharest at age 45, in full creative power.

### Education

He attended primary education in Berești and high school studies at the Gheorghe Roșca Codreanu National College in Bârlad (18931900). He then studied at the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy of the University of Bucharest (19001904), having as professors Nicolae Iorga, Ioan Bogdan, and Dimitrie Onciul.

In 1904 he left with a scholarship from the University of Bucharest (from the "Hillel Fund") on a troubled study trip to Germany, following the courses of three universities (Jena, Berlin, and Breslau) and often having financial problems and health issues. In Breslau he obtained the title of Doctor *cum laudae*, under the direction of Conrad Cichorius, with thesis *The nationality of merchants in the Roman Empire* (1908, in German), considered by specialists as one of the best studies on the development of trade in classical antiquity. German colleagues called him "the little Mommsen", which  given that the "great" Theodor Mommsen had recently been awarded (in 1902) the Nobel Prize for his monumental History of Ancient Rome  suggested the research interests of Pârvan. He became professor at the University of Bucharest, and was elected member of the Romanian Academy.

## Professional activity

### Publishing activity

In 1900 he made his debut in journalism at the *"Noua revistă română"*. From 1902 he started collaborating with *"Convorbiri Literare"* and in the following year with *"Voința națională"*, *"Tribuna Poporului"*, *"Luceafărul"* etc. In 1906 he joined as a *"soldier of the right cause"* in the Brotherhood of the Good Romanians (*Frăția Bunilor Români*) (organization created by Nicolae Iorga), starting to write for *"Sămănătorul"* and *"Neamul Românesc"*. From 1907 he started the collaboration with *"Viața Românească"* and *"Gazeta generală a învățământului"*.

### Teaching and research activity

He was a professor at the University of Bucharest from 1909 (tenured since 1913), where he succeeded Grigore Tocilescu (immediately after his death). In 1910 he became a corresponding member of the Romanian Academy, and three years later, a full member. In 1919 he was appointed professor of ancient history at the University of Cluj. He has also been a member of several academies and scientific societies abroad; among others, he was an associate professor at the Sorbonne (from 1926) and a member of the *International Committee of Historical Sciences* (Geneva).

In order to solve the problems related to the history of Dacia, he organized a series of systematic excavations, especially in the archeological resorts from the second Iron Age. Based on the partial results of the excavations, *Getica* (1926) wrote – his most important work – a vast historical-archaeological synthesis, through which he brought to the forefront of historical research the political and cultural role of the Dacians; some shortcomings and exaggerations (including the emphasis on the role of the Scythians and Celts in the development of Geto-Dacian culture) do not detract from the value of this work.

He was particularly concerned with archeology, prehistory and the history of Greco-Roman civilization. He organized numerous archeological sites, the most important of which is the one in Histria and published numerous studies, archeological reports and monographs, including a vast, valuable and useful documentary material. He led the archeological site of Histria until 1926. Of the 12 years when Pârvan, as director of the National Museum of Antiquities, led the archaeological excavations in Histria, only during nine years (1914–1916; 1921–1926) normal campaigns took place.

The relatively small proportions of his work are explained by the intense organizational activity of this headmaster, and by the aridity and lack of information of the areas on which he focused his activity. Mircea Gheorghe notes:

*" **Getica** was part of a projected trilogy that the great scientist failed to finish. This was to be followed by another work, **Roman Dacia** and then a third, **Protohistory of the Slavs**. Posthumously, the unfinished work **Dacia. The ancient civilizations from the Carpatho-Danubian regions**, which would have been part of the trilogy, if Vasile Pârvan had had time to develop it. \[...\] The fundamental objective of the trilogy was the analysis of the process of formation of the Romanian people through the Daco-Roman synthesis and through the assimilation of the Slavs and other allogens facing a strong rural Romanianness. His thesis was clear: the Romans took root through their agricultural occupations and formed a strong community, which the coming of other nations could not join"*.

His conception was that the only real object of history is culture, the spiritual life, the other aspects of life being useful insofar as it helps to understand the evolution of the human spirit. Through his idealistic historical conception, exposed in the sociological study *The Fundamental Ideas of Contemporary Social Culture* and in essays (volumes of *Ideas and Historical Forms* and *Memorials*) he managed to make a synthesis of neohegelianism and Neo-Kantianism and declared himself an opponent of chauvinism and cosmopolitanism. In "Parentalia", he wrote: *"The man is, above all, the son of the Woman"*.

### Representative works

* *Stephen the Great's relations with Hungary* (1905)
* *M. Aurelius Verus Caesar and L. Aurelius Commodus* (1909)
* *Epigraphic contributions to the history of Daco-Roman Christianity* (1911)

### Managerial activity

Between 1910 and 1926 he was director of the National Museum of Antiquities. In 1919 he founded the Institute of Antiquities in Cluj, and a year later the publishing house *"Cultura națională"*, where he cared for several collections.

He was vice-president of the Romanian Academy (1921–1922), and from 1923 he worked as general secretary until his death in 1927.

Vasile Pârvan had a special role in the creation of the new Romanian school of archeology. Thus, in 1914 he was one of the founders of the Institute of Southeast European Studies. He later organized (1921) the Romanian Academy in Rome, an institution of which he was director until his death. The purpose of this institution was the refreshing trainings the young archaeologists and historians; also in this institution he initiated and led the publication of the yearbooks *"Ephemeris Dacoromana"* and *"Diplomatarium Italicum"*, as well as the first series of the magazine *"Dacia"*.

He contributed to the formation of the historians Hortensia Dumitrescu, Vladimir Dumitrescu, Ecaterina Dunăreanu Vulpe, Ion Nestor, Dionisie M. Pippidi, Dorin Popescu, Gheorghe Ștefan, and Radu Vulpe, who continued his activity.

## Echoes

The scientist Nicolae Iorga wrote:

*"No one will be found to unite the gifts gathered in the one who so quickly leaves a glorious career: archaeological and historical knowledge of immense wealth, an endless zeal with the most systematic work, care for the smallest detail, with of the audacity of the highest hypothesis. All of them made him an archaeologist looked as equal to anyone in the most cultured abode."*

In turn, George Călinescu noted:

*"Neither Pârvan's style, nor his preoccupation are to be imitated, they being the unique and non-reproducible personal elements; but the form of his action, that religion of construction, that ferocity of the thought which does not give way ... heroic determination, a noble longing for the monument, for the permanent expression and rehabilitation of the genius, which is a Michelangelo dome, over high and thick walls of toil and meditation."*

# Vicky Peláez

**Virginia "Vicky" Peláez Ocampo** (born 1956 in Cuzco, Peru) is a Peruvian journalist and columnist, currently for *The Moscow News* newspaper. She is known for pleading guilty on 8 July 2010 for working in the United States as an unregistered foreign agent for Russia. She is also known for her leftist writings in *El Diario La Prensa*, a New York City Spanish language newspaper. Prior to working in the United States, Peláez was one of the first female television reporters in Peru where she reported for Frecuencia Latina.

## Career

Peláez was one of the few women journalists in Peru in the 1980s and established a reputation as a "colorful" reporter for Frecuencia Latina (Channel 2) in Lima. The Peruvian magazine *Teleguía* called her "the most aggressive journalist on TV." The Peruvian CNN journalist Claudia Rebaza described Peláez in this period as a controversial figure, known for interjecting herself into stories and for a sensationalist style.

In 1984, Peláez and her cameraman Percy Raborg were kidnapped by the Peruvian rebel group Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA). MRTA demanded Frecuencia Latina air a propaganda video in exchange for the release of Peláez and Raborg. The station agreed to air the video and Peláez and Raborg were released hours after airing. Raborg has since stated that Peláez was a willing participant in the kidnapping.

Peláez moved to the United States shortly after the MRTA incident. She worked for the New York-based *El Diario La Prensa* for more than two decades. Her far-left writings were critical of United States foreign policy and strongly supportive of Latin American leaders Hugo Chávez and Fidel Castro. At the time of her arrest, Peláez was a resident of Yonkers, New York.

## Illegals Program

In June 2010, Peláez, along with her husband Mikhail Anatolyevich Vasenkov (Михаил Анатольевич Васенков, alias Juan Lazaro) and nine others, was arrested on charges of conspiracy to act as an agent of a foreign government without notifying the U.S. Attorney General. The operations of this group was dubbed by American authorities as the "Illegals Program" directed by Russia. Waldo Mariscal, the eldest son of Peláez, claimed the U.S. government was persecuting his parents for their political views.

On 8 July 2010, Peláez pleaded guilty to working in the United States as an unregistered foreign agent for Russia, and agreed to be deported and never return, in exchange for the U.S. dropping the more serious charge of money laundering and waiving any jail time.

On 10 July, Peláez and Vasenkov were two of ten Russian agents who were exchanged for four prisoners held by Russia in an elaborate U.S.-Russian deal. They were returned to their handlers in Moscow along with the other traded Russian spies. Peláez and Vasenkov expressed a desire to leave Russia and go to Peru. *La República* reported that the couple permanently moved to Peru in December 2013.

## Aftermath

Since August 2011, Peláez has been a contributor to *The Moscow News*.
