Life Technologies keeps things rolling literally with their bus to promote the Ion Torrent desktop sequencing machine. 
The sequencing business is getting a lot of attention and we are also seeing some stiff competition and a couple months ago Life purchased Navigenics. Back when this first started Helicos was a hot company and now it looks like they are shrinking down to a very small size. Here’s a couple back links that will tell you what the Torrent machine is all about. It travels around to perform training classes on how to use the machine and said it will be seen in the future at conferences. BD

for Medicare coverage but to go back like this is a complete waste of taxpayer money. Hospitals have enough to do right now and some are not doing well financially so again what a waste of time and bean counter effort here. Again I agree on all present and future defibrillators going under the proper scrutiny but how far is all the billing in healthcare going to go with digging back. It’s a waste as the algorithms just come in and shift some more money around. Everything in the past does not have to be picture perfect and the general public as has been stated in many surveys would love to see more criminals in the financial district brought to task. We already have this going on in the re-admissions area so now we add another task on and for how much recovery. Any more unless at least $10 million is going to be recovered forget it as this is just a working hardship on everyone and again computer science folks are much quicker to look at an ROI than attorneys for cases as such.

conversation and the phone went dead and I got in touch with support and it was elevated up to the engineers and it was dead about 12 hours but it was on a weekend so I was not too concerned. I never did pursue what happened but it was involved to a pretty high level and this stuff happens everywhere today and with my phone services through FIOS, it happened here, twice. I work with a lot of new technologies and understand that things happen sometimes and I may never know the exact cause but as long as it gets fixed I move on. 
knew this was an error as there would not be a huge series of folks with disconnected numbers arise like this. Ok so off to Twitter I go and it worked well to get a hold of Verizon Support and it took a while but all was repaired. As mentioned now I could get incoming calls but had the outgoing issue with everyone else fictitiously “being disconnected” with the recording. 
fully tested and if you push developers to release any kind of product before it’s time, well the results can be disaster. This is why the FDA needs more engineers like everybody else any one in Congress that thinks there’s another type of fix for this with a law is not dealing with reality. Give it up in Congress with laws and get them the people they need. 
was pulled over for talking on her cell phone and this all takes place in a parking lot. You can see her being handcuffed but when the one officer takes her over and slams her to the ground, yikes. That doesn’t make any sense at all. The attorneys representing her state the video tells all and just watching it kind of gives you that impression. We need nurses so don’t beat them up. Perhaps she was not happy about being pulled over but there’s nothing that justifies this with being over powered and slammed to the ground. There’s also a mention in the video of a “high five” fist meeting of the two officers and you can see that in the video. BD 
which is November of 2013 so there’s a little more than a year to wait; however n Europe Teva already sells the drug. The drug helps chemotherapy patients recover faster and deals with the side effects of the treatment. Teva also has a generic version of the Amgen drug Neulasta which is a longer lasting version of the first drug and it too has the same date of November of 2013 before marketing in the US. It was back in December of 2009 that Teva asked the FDA for approval of their bio similar drug, so a long haul on this one. BD

and just recently the board had publicly given her support in a couple of media articles. We are going to see a lot of this occur as the powers of the CEOs become less and less as the decision making processes get more difficult, it is what it is and it is not limited to health insurance. They just recently bought Amerigroup if you missed those headlines. 
profit action is taking place today in subsidiaries and you may not even know they are owned by an insurance company as their number has increased so much in the last few years. The link below kind of goes into some of the lingo with the contracts as one Blue Cross subsidiary is set to go out of business and United who probably needs the current IT services gives the other subsidiary a contract and who knows if they will buy them at some time. United has an advantage that other insurance companies don’t have and that is having the former HHS executive who crafted the healthcare reform bill on their staff as a VP and we could probably safely say the GOP has even recognized that fact yet.

Sometimes I swear from past experience that our pets get more care than we do. Below is a link to another cell phone cardio app in the works, so it looks like the phone has it, or will have it. BD 
women and would be a major inconvenience if a man developed it or maybe one has? Too much of anything is not a good thing and specialists are on the case with no answers so far. 100 orgasms a day is quite a number and as she is quoted saying, “its exhausting”. The woman took a tumble down some stairs and that coupled with a cyst on her spine seems to be the area of focus as far as the cause. She said bumpy train rides for her are no fun. BD 
what can be cured and treated, the article reflects that. China has an admission problem too but as suggested it was self created with adding insurance to their economy as more could afford care but is this really an answer? As the articles goes on it seems to be leading to a lot of frustration and more people getting care is a good thing for sure, but was the methodology right? 
I want to hear the updates on this one as how does this happen? It’s not like a kidney is mistaken for some other body part. The kidney was from a “living'” donor too and the surgeon had just removed it to be transplanted in the donor’s sister. What does happen next for the sister as now we have one person minus a kidney and a patient that still needs a transplant. I would hate to be the nurse in error here, and how did the kidney get left unattended?

Some folks sure find ways to waste enough time out there and I can bet the IRS loves being pulled into this mess as well as they said earlier that they can distribute the tax credits. So what is the point here, to take away the credits for the few states that are refusing to to create exchanges or let the the feds do it for them? First of all an answer that needs to be clarified for all insurance exchanges is the e-credit scoring that you and I don’t see as this is above and beyond “normal credit agencies” and was the latest post here in “The Attack of the Killer Algorithms”. Companies like this sell your data too and make millions and/or billions.

Issa seems ok with more of this type of activity as long as they get to say “no” for insurance exchanges…see how out of touch these folks are! There’s a section on this in the links for one of the 
we don’t need these but if you look around there are commercial sites that sell the same thing and of course on those types of sites “you do have to expect spun data” and manipulated substantiation to sell the software that keeps the sites going. If you want to read the back link below, more on this topic and I even had some nice comments on this one from some folks at the Nielsen company. The sooner lawmakers get in touch with “Algo Duping” the better we all stand as consumers for sure, and this might be one of the reasons the public has such a low approval of how they function today, living in denial can do that. 
but rather one supplier of the permanent ink used. It does recommend to perhaps inquire though and see what products are used in case this bad lot is among the supplies. CDC began watching this when a person in New York had a skin infection and a dermatologist diagnosed the condition The ink manufacturer upon learning recalled the batches in question when they learned of the contamination and it appears it went back to a tradeshow and thus about 12 cases so far have been diagnosed, not a large number but again awareness for those supplying and getting tattoos today. Last year we had the huge “wipe” recalls from Triad so again just something to be aware of as information becomes known as it’s out there among us at times. BD

remember as it stands out. TENS units have been out for a number of years and I remember using one years back and they keep getting better. The Wi-Touch devices that focus on back pain are exactly that, an improvement. It has a wireless device to control the unit and it is small enough to wear under clothing. The battery life is not bad either with 150 30 minute treatments before it needs a re-charge. It also states that the coverage area is much larger and just looking at the images you do notice that and it has replaceable gel pads.

was admitted; however, the prosecutors didn’t find any wrong doing either so human error with input or the algorithms created this one as it was a coding error with reimbursing SCAN at the wrong levels, as if all patients were under the care of a nursing home which is a higher level. The whistle blower though says the case was at the fault of SCAN and the case was filed in 2009. 
far this year has not placed the order. The vaccine, called Immune is 95% of the company revenue. There are other vaccines produced that are also a single treatment but vaccines from other companies are not necessarily safe for individuals with compromised immune systems and thus this is where the drug comes in to play. Again this is the only company that makes the vaccine for those at risk and without an order it could run out of money and go away and we don’t want that. Other sources of funding I’m sure would also be entertained as well. BD
