SAN FRANCISCO, CA – With Major League Rugby owners huddled in Chicago, dealing with a myriad of MLR issues, players start to plan for what may or may not be next. This episode of MLR Weekly features one such player, star-on-the-rise Ronan Murphy, previously of the now-defunct Houston SaberCats. Unearthed in his conversation with host Matt McCarthy is his relationship with Ireland, his health following season-ending knee surgery, and his interesting path since picking the game up at 8-years-old.

We need to talk about USA rugby. World Rugby have revealed a plan to invest $250m into rugby in the USA leading up to the host the rugby world cup on 2031. The news comes at a time when Major League Rugby (MLR) is in crisis thanks to teams shutting down & rugby elsewhere on the American continent appears to have overtake the US. So, what's really happening here and what is the real problem? In this podcast I was joined by MLR rugby fan and analyst James Deeley to truly understand what is going on in MLR, how it feeds into the struggles of the US men's Eagles and what needs to change to awake this sleeping giant. We also manage to squeeze in a chat about the Women's Rugby World Cup, how women's rugby is doing in America and what we both love (and hate) about rugby statistics! #usa #rugby #america #rugbyunion #majorleaguerugby #MLR #podcast #analysis #womensrugby #canada Follow me on twitter: https://x.com/HuwGriffinRugby Follow James on twitter: https://x.com/JamDelay Chapters 0:00 USA & Canada Women's World Cup 7:00 Canada Men Review 12:35 USA Men Review 18:02 MLR Crisis 26:04 Did MLR Ever Work? 33:30 Thoughts on WER 34:55 Foreigners in MLR Debate 48:34 Join The URC? 51:28 Stats Nerds!

A recent case filed by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) reveals how an insider was able to detect fraud in a large managed care organization (MCO).Although the topic of medical loss ratio (MLR) might be arcane to some, when the subject involves millions of dollars of potential fraud, it quickly becomes a large blip on the government's fraud detection radar.More on this topic will be reported during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays. That's when whistleblower attorney Max Voldman returns to the long-running Internet broadcast to report on how a payer, Inland Empire Health Plan, miscalculated its MLR in a scheme to rebate less money to the government than to which it was legally obligated.The weekly broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.• Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, senior legislative affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.

Still managing to add value for patients and payor While US markets make new highs, the S&P managed care index is half the level it was a year ago. We talk to Kevin Fischbeck about what's driven the substantial weakness and whether deterioration in medical loss ratios (MLR) is temporary or something that will last and prevent these companies from recapturing past margins. Kevin also discusses the different markets served by managed care, from commercial to Medicare Advantage to Medicaid and how profitability challenges are likely to last longer for some of these markets than for others. But he also addresses how managed care adds value to each of these settings, delivering care more effectively and cheaply than the alternatives. He notes that vertical integration is still part of the strategy at some managed care companies, and something that can still help to better align incentives, but that it's been overshadowed by challenges faced elsewhere in the business.

What happens when we stick a thermocouple into a fire? The answer is surprisingly complex and has profound implications for fire safety engineering. In this deep-dive episode, Dr. David Morrisset from Queensland University joins Wojciech to unravel the science of fire measurements that underpins every experiment, test report, and dataset in our field.The conversation reveals a critical truth often overlooked by practitioners: measurements don't capture reality directly - they capture the interaction between our instruments and fire phenomena. When a thermocouple reports a temperature, it's actually measuring its own thermal equilibrium, not necessarily the gas temperature we assume it represents. This distinction becomes crucial when using experimental data to validate models or make engineering decisions.The hosts explore various measurement techniques - from temperature and flow measurements to heat flux gauges and oxygen consumption calorimetry - detailing their underlying principles, practical challenges, and hidden assumptions. David shares fascinating insights from his research, including innovative approaches to extracting meaningful data from noisy mass loss measurements and using high-resolution temperature fields to calculate heat fluxes without traditional gauges.This episode offers essential context for anyone who reads research papers, interprets test reports, or uses experimental data in their practice. By understanding the nuances of how we measure fire phenomena, engineers can better evaluate the quality and applicability of experimental results, recognise their limitations, and ultimately make more informed safety decisions. Whether you're conducting experiments or applying their results, this conversation will transform how you think about the data that drives our field.I've received a bunch of papers from David to share with you, here we go:Data smoothing - particularly around things like the MLR. This is covered in many papers, and you can start with: https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0379711222000893The "blue light method" was discussed in the podcast with Matt Hoehler from NIST - I came up with the same kind of effect but with PMMA (using black light instead of blue light) - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.firesaf.2025.104425We did some work on characterising the thermal boundary layer generated by gas-fired radiant panels. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.firesaf.2023.104013 In the flame spread work, I did use temperature data to approximate the heat flux acting at the surface https://doi.org/10.1016/j.firesaf.2023.104048----The Fire Science Show is produced by the Fire Science Media in collaboration with OFR Consultants.

With MLR & St Mullins set to do battle yet again in a Carlow Senior Hurling Final, we decided to catch up with two gents who have crossed paths and indeed shared pitches and dressing rooms on many great occasions down through the years.Hugh Paddy O'Byrne came on the scene when MLR made the breakthrough against St Mullins in 2006 and helped himself to 7 SHC medals thereafter before moving to Clare in recent years.Kevin Kehoe has only just stepped away from the St Mullins panel this year and has enjoyed rich success in county finals against MLR also.We get fresh perspectives and refreshing conversations with the two lads who have had to stop playing the game for albeit different, but challenging reasons nonetheless.An enjoyable show to produce and hopefully one you'll enjoy listening to.Thanks to www.infiniteenergy.ie , Brendan Kavanagh Furniture & Property Partners BuggyIf you enjoy our shows you can help us keep it lit by spotting us a coffee here - https://buymeacoffee.com/leftwingback

In this episode, recorded just before the July heatwave hit its peak, I spoke with Chris Moore, President of Europe at Veeva Systems, from his impressively climate-controlled garden office. We covered everything from the trajectory of agentic AI to the practicalities of embedding intelligence in highly regulated pharma workflows, and how Veeva is quietly but confidently positioning itself to deliver where others are still making announcements. Chris brings a unique perspective shaped by a career that spans ICI Pharmaceuticals, PwC, IBM, and EY. That journey taught him how often the industry is forced to rebuild the same tech infrastructure again and again until Veeva came along. He shares how Veeva's decision to build a life sciences-specific cloud platform from the ground up has enabled a deeper, more compliant integration of AI. We explored what makes Veeva AI different, from the CRM bot that handles compliant free text to MLR agents that support content review and approval. Chris explains how Veeva's AI agents inherit the context and controls of their applications, making them far more than chat wrappers or automation tools. They are embedded directly into workflows, helping companies stay compliant while reducing friction and saving time. And perhaps more importantly, he makes a strong case for why the EU AI Act isn't a barrier. It's a validation. From auto-summarising regulatory documents to pulling metadata from health authority correspondence, the real-world examples Chris offers show how Veeva AI will reduce repetitive work while ensuring integrity at every step. He also shares how Veeva is preparing for a future where companies may want to bring their LLMs or even run different ones by geography or task. Their flexible, harness-based approach is designed to support exactly that. Looking ahead to the product's first release in December, Chris outlines how Veeva is working hand-in-hand with customers to ensure readiness and reliability from day one. We also touch on the broader mission: using AI not as a shiny add-on, but as a tool to accelerate drug development, reach patients faster, and relieve the pressure on already overstretched specialist teams. Chris closes with a dose of humanity, offering a book and song that both reflect Veeva's mindset, embracing disruption while staying grounded. This one is for anyone curious about how real, applied AI is unfolding inside one of the world's most important sectors, and what it means for the future of medicine.
