One of the country’s largest health insurers reversed a change in policy Thursday after widespread outcry, saying it would not tie payments in some states to the length of time a patient went under anesthesia. Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield said in a statement that its decision to backpedal resulted from “significant widespread misinformation” about the policy. “To be clear, it never was and never will be the policy of Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield to not pay for medically necessary anesthesia services,” the statement said. “The proposed update to the policy was only designed to clarify the appropriateness of anesthesia consistent with well-established clinical guidelines.” Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield would have used “physician work time values,” which is published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, as the metric for anesthesia limits; maternity patients and patients under the age of 22 were exempt. But Dr. Jonathan Gal, economics committee chair of the American Society for Anesthesiologists, said it’s unclear how CMS derives those values. In mid-November, the American Society for Anesthesiologists called on Anthem to “reverse the proposal immediately,” saying in a news release that the policy would have taken effect in February in New York, Connecticut and Missouri. It’s not clear how many states in total would have been affected, as notices also were posted in Virginia and Colorado .

QNL executive director Tan Huism and IFLA secretary-general Sharon Memis inked the agreement during a signing ceremony Sunday, attended by HE the QNL president and Minister of State Dr Hamad bin Abdulaziz al-Kawari, and IFLA president Vicky McDonald. “The designation of Qatar National Library as the IFLA Regional Office for the Mena region underscores Qatar's prominent standing in the field of libraries and information on both regional and global levels,” HE Dr al-Kawari said. “It also highlights our country's role as a strategic partner to leading international institutions in their pursuit of a sustainable future for knowledge and scientific research,” he added. The partnership positions QNL as a key regional hub for librarianship, with a focus on facilitating collaboration, innovation and the dissemination of information throughout the Mena region. 'Partnerships and Global Librarianship' was the focus of the inaugural panel discussion, which provided insights into the vital role that collaboration and resource sharing play in advancing library services globally. McDonald said the IFLA's partnership with QNL will enable both institutions to deliver on their mission in terms of empowering libraries and the communities they serve across the region. Sharon said the IFLA's regional centres play a pivotal role in advancing the federation's objectives.“The work of regional centres is essential to ensuring that we are not just an international federation but a truly global one, helping library and information workers everywhere benefit from being part of this worldwide field. Qatar National Library is a model for this work in its dedication and innovation, and I look forward to many years of collaboration,” she added. Since its opening in 2017, QNL has played a key role in this regard, organising over 3,000 events that attracted more than 150,000 participants. Eiman Saleh al-Shamari, manager of the IFLA Mena Regional Office at QNL, said the library, as the IFLA representative in the region, is cementing its role as a cultural hub and advancing its objective of promoting cultural dialogue. “At the IFLA Regional Office, we are committed to supporting libraries in the region to keep pace with the latest global standards and practices in the field, which will, in turn, enhance the quality of services they provide. The office will serve as a platform for training and capacity building, improving the skills of professionals in this sector and strengthening their ability to meet the needs of their communities,” she said. The second day of the event will feature interactive workshops and lectures offering practical solutions for libraries in the Mena region. Key topics will include enhancing library capacities, fostering partnerships, integrating digital technologies, and addressing regional challenges in the digital age. Since its nomination as the IFLA Regional Office on the sidelines of the 88th edition of the IFLA General Conference and Assembly last year, QNL has organised numerous workshops and sessions to develop librarianship skills across the region with a focus on leveraging technology to enhance education and learning.

Tottenham star Richarlison was heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in the summer Tottenham Hotspur have had several issues with player availability this campaign. Injuries have started piling up in recent weeks, directly affecting the team’s performance levels. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is the latest player to enter the treatment room, joining Richarlison and Wilson Odobert on the sidelines for months. As far as Richarlison is concerned, Ange Postecoglou has been without his services since Spurs’ 4-1 win over Aston Villa. The Brazilian forward has barely played this season, clocking only 88 minutes across five Premier League games so far this term , thereby, failing to provide backup for club-record signing Dominic Solanke . Tottenham confirmed last month that Richarlison had suffered a “significant hamstring injury” and would be out “long-term”, having only just returned from a two-month absence due to a groin problem. This is his eighth injury since arriving at the North London club from Everton in the summer of 2022. The South American star was heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in the past summer transfer window; however, he was not keen to make the move to the Middle East. Instead, he decided to stay at Spurs and fight for his position under Ange Postecoglou. Now, The Athletic journalist Jay Harris claims that Tottenham should have cashed in on Richarlison over the summer owing to his fitness issues and chronic inconsistency. “Obviously hindsight is a wonderful thing but you look back in the summer when there was interest from the Saudi Pro League, I probably think it would have been best from Tottenham’s perspective, that you sell him for £50/60 million and reinvest that in a young striker who could have played backup to Solanke,” Harris told The View From The Lane (h/t The Spurs News ). “The Roma game, this game [against Fulham], these are all examples of having a higher quality backup striker would have done Spurs a massive favour. Over the next month, Solanke is going to have to play far too often, when he doesn’t play and Son goes in the nine, nothing clicks. You need Richarlison but during his time at Spurs he’s never been consistently available.” Indeed, Big Ange had no options on the bench to change the game against Fulham as Spurs’ lack of attacking depth laid bare. They looked devoid of bite and ideas to unlock the Cottagers’ defence again, leading to another tale of dropped points at home. It is a real shame that Richarlison has not been able to live up to the lofty expectations of the White Hart Lane faithful. While the Brazilian showed a competitive attitude by rejecting a lucrative offer from the Saudi Pro League and staying at N17, the chiefs at the Hotspur Way must devise a plan to get him off the club’s books in January or after the end of the campaign. If the North Londoners are to improve and win trophies, they have to find ways to move on players from past managers. And Richarlison has to be among the names at the top of that list.
