The Impact of Private Hospital Insurance on the Utilization of Hospital Care In Australia
AbstractWe use the 2004-'05 wave of the Australian National Health Survey to estimate the impact of private hospital insurance on the propensity for hospitalization as a private patient. We employ instrumental-variable methods to account for the endogeneity of supplementary private hospital insurance purchases. We calculate moral hazard based on a difference-of-means estimator. We decompose the moral hazard estimate into a diversion component that is due to an insurance-induced substitution away from public patient care towards private patient care, and an expansion component that measures a pure insurance-induced increase in the propensity to seek private patient care. We find some evidence of self-selection into insurance but this finding is not robust to alternative specifications. Our results suggest that on average, private hospital insurance causes a sizable and significant increase in the likelihood of hospital admission as a private patient. However, there is little evidence of moral hazard; the treatment effect of private hospital insurance on private patient care is driven almost entirely by the substitution away from public patient care towards private patient care.

The Art of Cinematography
When it comes to planning things, and in this case, our wedding, our (Sam and my) imagination tends to go a little wild. I'm not talking flamethrowers, tigers in cages, kind-of things. Just very small-but-makes-a-huge-difference-detail kind-of thing. When it comes to planning, whether it's a small event, conferences, little shindigs, we love creating atmosphere, doing something more unconventional, and just fun. Dependent on the event, we talk about what's important for it, and in this case we wanted it to be fun, different, but more importantly, we wanted our wedding to represent us well. What started off with an idea and somewhat of a joke of having an "intro video", had turned into us filming our Engagement Story and making it into a short film to start off our ceremony. (I'm trying not to spoil things before my wedding, but it's hard when it's all starting to come together!)
Let me introduce you to Elizabeth Bowman (who happens to be one of my bridesmaids!) and Joshua Laplap of Joshua Laplap Media.
This creative duo is starting up a Wedding Cinematography Collective where they will be creating a short film of our wedding day. They specialize in creating cinematic short films where you're able to revisit key moments in the relationship of the couple, and of course your wedding day. Josh Laplap also made all of our invitations, and graphics for our upcoming wedding but more on that later!
For the past couple months, we've met about what we would like to see and how we wanted our wedding to feel like. The reason for having our engagement story play in the beginning was mostly because we were having family and friends come from different areas both logistically, but also had family and friends who had yet to still meet Sam (and vice versa). We wanted the ceremony and for the day to tell a story, not just for all to see the "end result". We thought what better way then through video?
Many locations, multiple conversations and lots-of-laughs later, they have put together a small teaser for us, with the full version to be played at the ceremony. I honestly can't wait to see the finished product!
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

I placed an oder with a company over the phone and the representative that obtained the credit card and necessary information to place the order used that information to place personal, unauthorized charges.
You may have a cause of action, however that is a civil/tort question and you are asking this on a criminal law forum..
You should contact a civil attorney to discuss the company's potential liability.
I agree with my colleagues, your question would be better posed in a forum other than criminal defense.
The answer is yes. It is a matter of proof. You need to mitigate your damages. You probably want to send an identity theft validation letter to each of the creditors who were tricked. I have a form if you email me. You should also obtain a police report, fill out an FTC identity theft affidavit, and send certified mail return receipt requested disputes to each credit bureau. I have an instructional form for that as well but some of the key items are as follows. If the account was not opened by you, it is someone else's account, or if you were only an authorized user, you should advise the credit bureau of this fact and ask the credit bureaus to compare your signatures with those of the person who signed the credit application or who signed for the credit. Consider including the credit report itself, account statements, correspondence from the creditor, court papers if available, any falsified documents (if you have them) and any other documentary proof that you don't owe the money. Some other examples may include letters from the creditor themselves admitting to a mistake, social security cards, driver's licenses, utility bills, etc. You should enclose a copy of your driver's license which has your current address, photo and signature. The credit bureaus, under the FCRA, have to respond quickly to your fraud claims. You can have an attorney evaluate your case against the company and representative who stole your identity. I have some articles about the FCRA on my website that may be of interest to you. http://www.fortheconsumer.com/article-fair-cred... and http://www.fortheconsumer.com/article-williams-... . I wish you the best in the future.

Small companies plan £75bn capital investment
Monday 11 July 2011
Small companies across the UK are planning to invest nearly £75bn in their businesses over the coming 12 months, according to a survey of small and medium-sized businesses.
The GE Capital poll shows that the vast majority – 92 per cent – of companies planned to plough funds into new computers, vehicles and the like.
However, despite having lost out on more than £8bn worth of new business as a result of out-dated equipment, the poll showed that UK companies still lagged behind their peers in Germany and France, who were looking to invest £130.7bn and £91bn, respectively, over the next year.

The voice of the Indianapolis 500 on the IMS Radio Network will change hands next season as long-time IndyCar announcer Mike King will step down from his position at the end of the month.
King has been the play-by-play voice of the IMSRN since 1996 and the announcer of the Indianapolis 500 since 1999. He will vacate those positions on November 1 to tend to family and other business, as stated in a IMS news release.
"I would like to thank the Hulman-George family and the entire IndyCar family for an incredible 19 years with the IMS Radio Network," King said in the release. "Calling the Indy 500 and every other IndyCar Series race has fulfilled so many of my hopes and dreams.
"I loved every second of it, especially that special connection with the fans over the airwaves. But I'm also looking forward to this next phase of my life, including dedicating more time to my family, which always has been so understanding and supportive while I was on the road working with the network."
King also works as a marketing and public relations expert at Union Hospital in Terre Haute, Ind.
IMS officials say that the search for a new chief announcer has already begun. What remains to be seen is if the new voice of IndyCar will come from within or oustide the IMS family.
The IMS Radio Network broadcasts this season also included the talents of Jake Query, Pippa Mann, Nick Yeoman, Mark Jaynes and Michael Young with part-time help from Indiana Pacers broadcaster Chris Denari, Jerry Baker and Katie Hargitt.
Former IndyCar Series announcers Bob Jenkins and Pual Page are technically on the market, having stepped down from their positions over the last decade but there is no indication that they are candidates or even interested in filling the role.

AG: GMO labeling bill 'risky'February 07,2013MONTPELIER — The Vermont attorney general's office is flashing the yellow caution light as lawmakers consider a bill that would mandate labeling of foods made with genetically modified organisms.
The House Agriculture Committee took testimony for the first time this year on a GMO labeling bill and heard words of caution from Assistant Attorney General Bridget Asay.
She told the committee on Wednesday that a Vermont labeling law almost certainly would draw a lawsuit or lawsuits from the food industry, and she said the outcome of such suits would be very uncertain.
She said the industry likely would argue that Vermont was exaggerating the risks of foods containing GMOS, and that any labeling requirement would violate the First Amendment.MORE IN Vermont NewsThe progress to get the historic Robinson Sawmill up and running again in Calais is slow going,...

Heated Observations: Game #3
Apr 04 2014 07:50 AM | Parker Hageman in Minnesota Twins
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]How Phil Hughes Worked[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Of all starting pitchers who threw more than 100 innings last year, Phil Hughes led the group with a first-pitch strike rate of 71% -- one of only two pitchers who cracked the 70% mark (Arizona's Patrick Corbin being the other). Naturally, Hughes continued that first-pitch strike tendency in his first start with the Minnesota Twins, turning the count over to 0-1 on 19 of the 24 batters he faced. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Yesterday, sticking mainly with his heat in those situations (20 of 24), Hughes has been known to flip a get-me-over curveball on the first-pitch (21% of the time last year). However he twisted just one curve in yesterday's game. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]While with the Yankees, when Hughes had his opponents on the ropes, he turned to his fastball -- a tendency he has displayed regularly. In two-strike situations against the White Sox, Hughes targeted the upper portion of the zone and above, getting five of his seven strikeouts on the high heat (as shown below). [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Trevor Plouffe and the Other Direction[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Here's the interesting part: When Plouffe did go the other way last year, it mostly produced flies and pops. Those pitches were ones he was fooled on and fought off -- mostly sliders and fastballs down and away:[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]This season, Plouffe has DRIVEN pitches that have been up in the zone, shooting line drives to right field:[/FONT][/COLOR]
Plouffe having success going the other way? What's next, cats sleeping with dogs?[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Anyone Heard of Chris Colabello?[/FONT][/COLOR]
This spring Colabello spoke about how he was approaching his at-bats and said he moved back off the plate in the minor leagues when teams began to attack him on the inner-half. Last year he didn't see too many pitches on the inside portion of the plate so he inched up closer to stay in the same zip code as where pitchers were targeting him. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Here is his pitch frequency chart from 2013:
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Away, away and more away. This year the modus operandi has been the same:[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]What's more is that the big right-hander has seen almost exclusively fastballs. It will be interesting to see how teams change their approach against Colabello as his success continues.

MEO Australia (BUY, A$0.60) (MEO AU, A$0.30, ▲ 7%) - Tassie Options Open: The Australian government's extension of the Environmental Approval provides further support to Management's drive to create value for shareholders. While supportive, the main focus remains the drilling programme outlined for the next 12 months, targeting prospects and appraising discoveries, which, given the fact that the Company is trading at a small premium to its cash balance would ultimately prove transformational. We recently initiated on the Company with a BUY recommendation and A$0.60. In this news:
San Leon (BUY, 60p) (SLE LN, 10.5p, ▶ 0.0%) - Offshore Morocco Resources Estimates: This news provides investors with the sense of scale that the Company is targeting offshore. The Foum Draa and Sidi Moussa permits currently contribute 3p to our overall NAV of 60p. We are due to meet with Longreach this afternoon, who released today's independent estimates, and we will be updating our outlook post this meeting. Safe to say that today's news highlights that SLE's portfolio consists of more than just Polish Shale. We reiterate our BUY recommendation and 60p price target. In this news:
Antrim Energy (AEY, 66.5p, ▶ 0.0%) - Today's results highlights what has been a very strong year for Antrim, with the Company entering 2012 in a better cash position and with a fast growing core with which to provide ammunition for future growth. The Company will be hoping for another strong performing year as it embarks on an active programme which includes finalising the sale of Antrim Argentina, bringing the Causeway field online, submitting the Fyne Field Development Plan (FDP), spudding a well on the Kerloch Licence , and finally another exploration well on the Cyclone Prospect in the Greater Fyne Area. In the news:
President Petroleum (PPC LN, 60.5p, ▲ 11%)-Successful drilling result: The success of the 2nd well, DP-100, at Dos Puntitas Field will increase the production from the field and also presents the possibility of upgrading oil in place and reserves estimates. It has identified a gross oil column of 54 metres at a depth of between 3115 -3169 metres with a net pay of 33 metres in the well. The Company will commence testing in next few days and plans to start production from April. It is confident of flowing in excess of 380 bopd pre drill estimates following the discovery of the high end hydrocarbon saturations with good matrix porosity. Today's news bodes well for the share price and updates on DP-1001 well and Dos Puntitas Field will provide near term catalysts. In this news:
Ithaca Energy (IAE LN, 203p, ▲ 5.73%)- Double Delight!: The Company has reported a 9% increase in 2P reserves to 50.2 mmboe along with strong 2011 financial results. Ithaca capital investment for 2011 stood at an impressive $205mm. We believe 2012 will be an exciting year for the Company with: first oil production from Athena development expected to commence in Q2 2012; commencement of development drilling at the Stella and Harrier fields; spudding of the Hurricane appraisal and full year production contribution from Anglia, Topaz and Cook fields. In this news:
Oilfield Services NewsTechnip (HOLD) (TEC, EUR85.0, ▼ 0.8%) Technip has announced the award of a contract by Bluewater Industries for the Cheviot field development, whose operator is ATP Oil & Gas. The Cheviot field is located in Block 2/10B, approximately 100km East of the Shetland Isles, in the UK North Sea, at a water depth of 150m. The project also includes the development of the Peter and Eclat fields. The project is scheduled for delivery in 2014.Written by Steven Asfour, Sales Trader at Fox-Davies

Alternative Medicine Cabinet - Are You Putting Too Much Faith in Vitamin E?
By Catherine Guthrie
No question, $770 million is a lot of money to blow on a vitamin. That's how much Americans spent on vitamin E in 2001, an amount that put it squarely on top of supplement sales charts. But if you're relying on vitamin E to protect against heart problems, recent evidence suggests you may be wasting your money.
That's right. Since 2000, several important studies have cast serious doubt on vitamin E's heart-protecting abilities. In fact, some of the nation's top heart researchers are embroiled right now in a hot debate over whether or not vitamin E supplements are really worth taking. So, should you invest in some other pill instead?
It's not so clear. There may well be reason to hedge your bets on the heart front. And provocative new studies show the nutrient may have power against some other dread diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease and prostate cancer. Whatever you decide, it's certainly time to pay greater attention to what's on your plate: The new research suggests the vitamin E you get from food may be more effective than what's in a supplement.
Here's the scoop.
Supplements and heart disease
Vitamin E's glowing reputation has rested on several large observational studies, in which people's health profiles were correlated with what they said they ate and what supplements they took over a given period of time. Such studies cannot definitively establish direct cause-and-effect, but they have repeatedly suggested that vitamin E supplements curb heart attacks and deaths due to heart disease by an admirable 40 percent.
The notion makes sense, given that vitamin E is the body's most powerful antioxidant. It's a blood thinner, making platelets less likely to clump together and cause a heart attack; it soothes blood vessel inflammation, an early precursor to heart trouble; and to top it off, the nutrient guards against narrowing of the arteries by curbing production of LDL, or bad cholesterol.
Still, the vitamin's cardiac credentials sagged when experts started studying it in a more direct way. Recently scientists have conducted a number of clinical trials, in which some people were asked to take vitamin E while others got a dummy pill, and the volunteers' heart health was compared after a number of years. This is where vitamin E failed miserably.
One of its most infamous flops was recounted in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2000. Researchers recruited more than 9,000 heart disease sufferers. Half received 400 IUs of vitamin E daily; the other half unknowingly downed sugar pills. Four years later, the number of heart attacks, strokes, and deaths from heart disease in the two groups was indistinguishable. Vitamin E had seemingly provided no protective advantage whatsoever.
A more recent—and even harsher—blow came last November when the Journal of the American Medical Association published results from a trial designed to measure whether hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and antioxidant supplements, ...

At the end of an audit, the trustees are asked to sign a letter addressed to the audit firm, confirming, amongst other things, that they have told the auditors everything they need to know. Often trustees feel unsure about this letter. Why is it needed? Is the auditor just passing the buck? Is it safe to sign?

Have a great summer! See you next fall!
The Latest
Get plenty of sleep, eat breakfast, and study study study! Good luck with finals this week. Congratulations, Seniors!
All Service Learning packets are due Friday, May 23, by 4:00 p.m. in the Career Center, located in the library.
It's the last full week of school. This is a busy catch-up week for students completing projects, assignments, quizzes, and tests from throughout the semester. Every point counts this week! Good luck!
This is a shameless plug for you to follow me on Twitter (@paipperspach). You won't find anything juicy (other than juicy is a synonym for inappropriate right now), but you will find relevant articles and links to information for high school students. I post about scholarships, part-time jobs, and other opportunities available to you. This is especially relevant for seniors – lots of future stuff for you including career (not in fast food) and college information.
Remember when you were young and you didn't have to worry about money? Yeah, well, now you do. Check out the part-time/summer jobs posted now. Develop skills and earn money this summer.
Here is a great quizlet already made that will help you with root words and your vocabulary. Enjoy!
Today and tomorrow our seniors will be participating in mock interviews with business members from the community.
One helpful tip is to take a breath before answering a question. The reason for this is because so many of us have a habit of starting with "um" or "well" or a tongue click before we start answering the question. We don't even think about it, we just do it. This can become very distracting in an interview. If the interviewer asks you 10 questions, and you say "um" before answering each one, you just said "um" 10 times…..not including the "ums" within your answers.
This is helpful, not only for interviewing, but aslo for any place that asks you a question before placing an order. Do you want black beans or brown? "Um, brown." Do you want white or wheat bread for your sub? "Um, wheat." What size coffee would you like? "Um, grande."
So, the next time someone asks you a question, take a breath in, and then give your answer. If you take a breath in, it's physically impossible for you to say "um" at the same time. Problem solved!
Below is part of an interview between Education World and Dr. Alex J. Packer, author of "How Rude."
EW: What would you say are the five most important etiquette rules for students?
Dr. Packer: The number one rule, of course, is: Never cause the chalk to squeak. Beyond that, I surveyed hundreds of students and teachers while writing How Rude! Here are the top seven answers when I asked teachers, "What manners-related behaviors most impress you in students?"
Saying "Please" and "Thank you."
Thoughtful listening and questioning.
Asking for help in a polite manner.
Showing kindness and understanding toward their peers and adults.
Free yet thoughtful expression of their views.
Saying they're sorry and meaning it.
Thanking me for teaching them or helping them understand.
Another area where some teens lack good manners is in the way they treat their peers. They say things that are hurtful and unkind. They bully, tease, and exclude. They make cutting comments about people's looks, speech, clothing, race, ethnicity, and/or sexuality. Adults are doing a fine job turning the world into a divisive, intolerant, hypocritical, violent mess. You'd think teens would want to do their utmost to create an opposite climate for themselves. The golden rule for students should be to respect the rights, property, opinions, feelings, ethnicity, intelligence, achievements, and personal tastes and styles of others. In other words, thou shalt not bully, harass, speak hurtfully, cop an attitude, backbite, spread rumors, or put people down because of their looks, abilities, family, background, and/or sexual orientation. – See more at: http://www.educationworld.com/a_issues/chat/chat139.shtml#sthash.oebZc93G.dpuf

Rob Lowe is getting ready to re-try Casey Anthony ... in an upcoming movie about the infamous murder case ... and the actor tells TMZ he's VERY confident people are "gonna dig it."
Lowe was in Malibu yesterday when we asked about "Prosecuting Casey Anthony" -- a Lifetime flick in which Rob is set to play Jeff Ashton, the man who prosecuted Tot Mom for the alleged murder of her daughter Caylee Anthony.
Rob tells TMZ, "It's gonna be interesting ... I think people are gonna dig it ... great script."
Lowe says production starts Monday ... and he's hoping the project will air sometime in January .... roughly 4-and-a-half years after Caylee was murdered.
And those that idolize Jeff Ashton, sit back and think about what he is really doing !!! Keeps bringing attention to that whore Casey. He had that book out in a New York minute while we were all still reeling from the shock of a murderer walking free. He shoves her in our face and the medias face all to make a dollar of blood money. JMO
I might consider watching if I know for sure that not a dime goes to any Anthony family member nor her defense. Even then, probably will pass. That trial outcome broke my heart and we already know the ending. And Casey is so delusional, she might think we actually consider her a celebrity. So after re-thinking, sorry, i won't be watching this. Even if it starred brad pitt.
I WILL NOT watch any movie or read any book about the murder of Caylee. Rob Lowe, what is wrong with you?? What's wrong with Hollywood, do they need fresh writers. Shame on the people behind this movie and I hope Bozo's book doesn't sale. Who will profit from this sick movie??
I would never buy any book by Bozo, Casey, Foghorn or the ScamAnthonys, I didn't eve buy Jeff Ashton's book, And the sponsors of this Lifetime Movie can shove their products up their whazoooooo
Hey Rob "No one is going to dig it" Anything tied to the most hated female in the world is not going to get watched. Just the thought of anyone from this tragedy profiting from this makes me ill.
Boycott anything Anthony...
Ashton's running for States Attorney...This could put a big dent in his bid for election.
BOYCOTT!!! I will not watch it. SHAME ON ROB LOWE!
too soon rob blow. too soon.
Leave it to this dumbass to use a baby murderer in an attempt to legitimize his pathetic tv career of lousy acting.
All this does is publicize the MURDERER, Casey! BOYCOTT!
I cannot wait. Watched the trial and followed the CAase 2 years before trial. Love Rob Lowe. Like the prosecutor's book. I was one of those who needed to see her rot in jail.
Anyone who wastes their time watching anything about this dumb azz has to be an idiot, I have had my fill of this Bitch.
Makes you wonder if the movie was made to be popular or factual? Most of all it makes me wonder why? Now I remember..It's a Lifeline script.
No, I'm not gonna "dig" it because I'm not gonna *see* it. Boycott Casey Anthony if you think she did it!
I hope they change the ending since the real justice won't do it.
if she really did not kill her BABY , then why is she not trying to find out who did ???? But we all know she did

Should it be "makes or make" there? I guess it is make since things is plural but I see people using "makes".

Mission-style kitchen cabinets feature a distinctive style that includes a mixture of Arts and Crafts, Spanish Mission and American Southwest influences. Defined by minimal angular shapes and unadorned fixtures, mission style is a popular choice for kitchen cabinets because of its simple, elegant design.
Mission-style kitchen cabinets are often constructed of American woods like red oak and maple, then burnished to a rich finish. They commonly feature a paneled-wood face, and matching wood is often used for molding and other design touches.
In terms of color for mission-style kitchen cabinets, many homeowners choose to leave them in their natural wood state—or stain them to bring out a deeper hue. Painting is less common, but if you choose to paint some or all of the cabinets, light hues tend to work well when paired with the darker mission-style accents that are common.
Installing kitchen cabinets can be a relatively challenging DIY project. Find the info you need to make the process a little...

Karl-Anthony Towns Jr. is your Gatorade High School Athlete of the Year. Consider:
First, he thanked his mother for cooking so well because, you know, he's "a big guy." But then he quickly became more serious. When Towns began talking about his father's sacrifices to ensure his son would have every opportunity, he fought back tears in giving example after example. The crowd of adults buzzed about the 18-year-old's speech after the event – and they didn't even know he hadn't planned it.
"I just ad-libbed up there; I didn't think I was going to win," he said. "I went up there and saw the hardware in my hand, and thought about all the hardships I had to go through. I thought what my family did. When they said my name, I was in complete shock.
This kid is special, and he's going to be great at Kentucky. The last guy who won this award and played for us led us to the Final Four.

The SEC enters a new world of covering itself on Television. Consider:
Mangus said the SEC understands "in order for this network to have credibility and authenticity, if it's not reporting a story about a player or a team or a circumstance that's important, that's a huge hit to what the promise of this network should be. We're not going to shy away from reporting the news, good or bad."

Socio-demographic characteristics and human capital of the German federal government's members
AbstractCurrently, background, qualification and training of German top politicians are widely discussed by scholars and media. This paper provides new insights to this discussion by analysing significant differences between the chancellors, vice chancellors as well as ministers of the inner residual cabinets of the German federal governments between 1949 and 2009 with respect to their socio-demographic backgrounds and educational, economic and political human capital. Applications of different statistical methods reveal that the ministers of the inner cabinet habe the most advantageous social background and the best education. Vice chancellors score highest with regard to their economic human capital, measured here by board seats before their current offices. The average tenure in the federal government as well as the expertise in the actual headed department is highest for chancellors. -- Aktuell werden die Herkunft, Qualifikation und Bildung deutscher Spitzenpolitiker rege von Wissenschaftlern und Medien diskutiert. Dieses Papier trägt zu dieser Diskussion bei, indem signifikante Unterschiede hinsichtlich soziodemographischer Eigenschaften und (hoch)schulischen, ökonomischen sowie politischen Humankapitals zwischen den Gruppen Kanzler, Vizekanzler und Ministern des inneren und äußeren Kabinetts für alle Kabinette von 1949 bis einschließlich 2009 analysiert werden. Die Anwendung verschiedener statistischer Methoden zeigt, dass die Minister des inneren Kabinetts über den vorteilhaftesten sozialen Hintergrund und die beste Bildung verfügen. Vizekanzler erreichen den höchsten Grad an ökonomischem Humankapital, gemessen in Vorstands- und Aufsichtsratsmandaten vor dem betreffenden Regierungsamt. Die durchschnittliche Amtszeit in der Bundesregierung und im derzeitigen Amt ist bei Bundeskanzlern am längsten.
