1. Adding polyester to perfectly good cotton, linen, rayon or wool clothing is like adding a pink slime filler to beef. And the fact that the polyester filled clothes cost the same as the natural fabrics adds insult to injury.
2. Years ago, a fabric artist friend told me how to test a fabric to see if it was natural or polyester. Take some thread or a small piece of the fabric and burn it with a match. If it's polyester or acrylic it will burn into a plastic ball. If it's a natural fabric it will burn into dust.
3. On the lead up to attending the Pink Floyd tribute band event at the Pine Tavern on Saturday, I kept calling "Pink Floyd" the "Moody Blues" by mistake, maybe because they're both British bands from the '60s and '70 that made concept albums and had niche followings, but most likely I think it's because both bands have a color in their name. More HERE.
4. I didn't listen much to Moody Blues back in the day, but I wore the hell out of Joni Mitchell's album called Blue.
5. On Sunday Joe went to a skills day workshop on making fire using sticks. He invited me to go, but I told him it's like a learning to change a tire. I know it's a good thing to know but even if you show me, in the end, it just ain't gonna happen.
6. Mystery solved. Over the weekend I posted a photo called Country Mouseketeer. It was a shadow shot of me with mouse ears and I had no idea how the ears got there. A reader pointed out a yellow color above my head, so I blew up the picture and zoomed in. Turns out there were a couple of yellow pompom marigolds and their shadows in the shot.
7. I don't think the bark boring bugs that made the designs in the first picture above were actually boring because their creations seem to have been made with such industrious imagination.
8. The more I know, the more I know I don't know.
9. Are poems like autumn leaves / forgotten after they fall? / Do we only pay attention / to the bright red maple/ and ignore the buried brown?
10. Writing is the only thing that when I do it, I don't think I should be doing something else. – Gloria Steinem
11. My grandsons like to put on music shows that I videotape. Their latest is a Happy Halloween production and is dedicated to Ron from Scrambled Not Fried. Watch HERE.
12. I have some small crop circles cropping up on my face. They're called wrinkles.
13. It's good to live with someone who can make fire by rubbing two sticks.
________Thirteen Thursday
Pink Floyd has a dedicated fan base and so does The Dark Side Project, a Pink Floyd tribute band out of Roanoke that played at the Pine Tavern Saturday night.
The floor was literally bouncing with dance beats and the fans happily sang along with the classics.
The quality show included lights, smoky mists and a Pink Floyd pumpkin that sat center stage.
The musicians who put it all together were Jonathan Barker (keyboards and vocals), Schnerve Jangler (guitars and lap steel), Will Henson (guitar and vocals), Nick Martin (drums and percussion), and Hoppie Vaughan (bass, bass Moog, and vocals). They put on a dynamic show.
You can see the effects of the bouncing dance floor and the fan enthusiasm in the video-taped rocking number above.
______________Our World Tuesday
I snapped this picture while testing a camera for Joe and have no idea how I got mouse ears.
This is what happens when I give Joe a camera. I don't get up that early.

Wildwood Farms General Store celebrated their Old Time Fest with perfect fall weather on Saturday from 11 – 5 p.m. The event featured music, food, craft vendors, pumpkins and more.
Arriving attendees stopped to watch apple butter being made over an open fire.
A young girl gets help spreading Grandma Alice's homemade apple butter on an animal cracker. The apple butter is made by a small family business out of EllettValley.
An old time jam band included Sue Nester, sister of Wildwood Farm General Store owner Judy Bowman. The jam band opened for Mountain Ivy who was scheduled to play at 2:00. Nester reminded attendees that the General Store hosts live old time and bluegrass music every Saturday. (Visit wildwoodfarmsdaylilies.com for a schedule and more.)
Birdhouse builder John Schiemann joked with fest attendees that his birdhouses were made in his home shop in China.

Cruise-in vintage tractors, trucks and cars were a fest attraction
Fest vendor Rachel Terrill is pictured with her recycled copper earring trees. Terrill was also selling her handmade earrings and knitted baskets and hacky sack balls. The Wildwood Farm's extensive day lily garden can be seen in the background.

1. In October the Blue Ridge Parkway is an arcade jackpot of color. Cars, like flipper-driven pin balls, shoot up and down the ribboned road while autumn lights flash, "You're a winner!" More HERE.
2. I once bought a whole box of fortune cookies so I could find a fortunate message I liked.
3. If a bunch of geese is a gaggle and crows are a murder, what are the ghosts in the photo above?
4. THIS graffiti artist paints rooms and beds for homeless people.
5. I had two opportunities to dance to two of my favorite bands at Dogtown over the weekend. Time is Art played Friday and Spoon Fight on Saturday (which is where I snapped the reflection of the band in the glass door.) I also spent some time in the local tattoo shop (now owned by two Spoon Fight players). The tattoo art was impressive, but I wasn't tempted, thinking that tattoo needles are like writing with pens, as compared to pencils that come with erasers. HERE'S my kind of body art.
6. If autumn is called fall because of the falling leaves, maybe summer should be called sunshine or bloom.
7. Serotonin is like sunshine to our brains. We're happy when it shines and our perceptions become dark and cloudy without it, which is probably why I instinctively turn my face to track the sun like a heliotropic flower.
8. I don't know why some people these days flaunt breast implants. When I grew up falsies were shameful and fauxhawks were only for babies.
9. I like to take pictures around town and of local businesses' windows during holidays and especially at Halloween. The photo above came from the Winter Sun Clothing outlet store. It reminds me to get my teeth cleaned and makes me miss my friend Rio. See Rio's pumpkin art, which we saw all over town during Halloween for so many years, HERE.
10. Even the wheelbarrows in front of our local hardware store are orange.
11. If you don't want to find yourself experimenting with very-orange cauliflower, a
bright orange face mask, orange paste in your refrigerator, or orange teeth, then don't
put THIS on your shopping list, says Fresh Bites Daily HERE.
12. How Do You Boo 1 is HERE and 2 is HERE . And the picture on the left is of the police phone booth that Dr. Who time travels from, so said the kids at Floyd's Springhouse Community School where I saw it and had to ask.
13. My grandson Liam had an October birthday. That's my sweet boy below in the orange shirt.
Day broke
like yolk

- The following first appeared in The Floyd Press on October 16, 2014
Springhouse Community School (SHCS) students were featured at the October 4th Floyd Radio Show, along with The Buckstankle Boys, writer Mara Robbins, musician Chris Owen and Radio Show hosts Anna Roberts-Gevalt and Elizabeth LaPrelle. To a sold out show, eight students performed "A Farmer's Story," a multi-media presentation based on an oral history interview with local farmer Howard Dickerson.
Working in collaboration with the Radio Show hosts and a representative of the New River Land Trust, students traveled to Dickerson's farm in September to interview him. They learned that the farm has been in the Dickerson's family for centuries and was recently placed under a conservation easement with New River Land Trust.
Under the guidance of project advisors and community mentors, students transcribed the interview, wrote a script, created a pictorial story scroll and constructed a crankie, a wooden instrument for scrolling drawings and screening shadow puppetry.
A Farmer's Story was presented on the Floyd Country Store stage as a narrative and was accompanied by crankie art and shadow puppetry. It touched on Dickerson's childhood, working on the farm, his college days, his travels and his service in Vietnam.
Dickerson's story about his own childhood mentor, a family friend who worked on the family farm, was incorporated into the story. "When I was hauling hay at nine years old, Cleve told me that I took the place of a man."
"When you are out in the field working by yourself, you do things to pass the time. One of the things I do is I write songs," the narrative quoted Dickerson before the student performance of Dickerson's song "I'm Ready for Spring." When you see my cattle grazing on grass … Old Man Winter's time has passed … Oh, springtime … I'm ready for spring …
"Howard's not sure what the future of the farm holds," the narrative concluded. "He just knows that it will always be a farm."
Following the performance, SHCS advisor Joe Klein addressed the applauding crowd. "We want to thank Howard for sharing his story with us, and for his lifetime of caring and tending the land."
Klein also thanked the New River Land Trust "for their good work preserving the land in our community" and the project mentors and advisors for their meaningful input. "What a great way to learn local history," Klein said, referring to the SHCS's project-based learning model and the results it produces. - Colleen Redman

The feed the ad was inspired by Dickerson's years of making and selling feed. Also pictured on stage are host Elizabeth LaPrelle (center) and writer Mara Robbins. 3. Adrian Green (left), singing I'm Ready for Spring," was accompanied by Ryan Leedom on guitar. 4. More from the crankie show. 5. Clip of the crankie narrative. 6.

Read about September's Floyd Radio Show HERE.
October is the best dressed month of the year and the Parkway is a runway show of color.
The double yellow road line winds like a ribbon, tying nature's glamour, shine and glitter all together.
Like a lit up Las Vegas turned on by the sun, full length trees and a palette of rolling scenery steal the spotlight.
It's an arcade jackpot of color.
And cars, like flipper-driven pin balls, shoot up and down the winding ribboned ramps while October lights flash, "You're a Winner!"
1. Mystery solved. On the day the latest Rolling Stone magazine came out with a story on Jackson Browne shown on the front cover, I got a generous amount of hits on my blog via searches (mostly wanting to know if he's had plastic surgery) that landed people on THIS post.
2. It was hard to refrain from singing the childhood version of happy birthday, 'Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. You look like a monkey and you smell like one too' to Liam when his birthday party was actually held at the zoo.
3. I actually did sing it once but changed the word "smell" to "sound," then made monkey sounds, and he laughed.
4. My Boston Mass cousin Gerry and his wife Marie didn't expect to meet so many fellow New Englanders in the Floyd during their visit. At Dogtown Roadhouse, they met our friend Chris, who grew up in Hingham, and a couple of friends from New Hampshire. Our friend Bob, a staunch Yankee fan who is originally from New York and who was collecting cover charge admittance, threatened not to let any Red Sox fans in to the show. – More HERE.
5. Each of us holds a piece of the whole story and when we are done, the circle is usually complete. It's diverse, shines with a common thread and extends out onto something larger than ourselves. I think of a dialogue circle as a work of art, made with the honesty of words, personal reflection and listening. – Colleen on dialogue circle. More HERE.
6. I must have some pretty interesting friends. I recently came across an old notepad that I took to a dinner with friends and passed it around the table with the question, "What have you done that I probably haven't?" The answers were: wrote 50 songs, went to a traditional peyote ceremony, ice skated naked, crawled through a 100 foot cave on my stomach, birthed five sons at home, and rode a pony at 11,000 feet in the Andes.
7. One of those answers was mine. Can you guess which one?
8. I'm not pointing fingers but I'm shaking my head. – Line written down in the same notepad
9. Low self-esteem and high self-esteem are identical ego problems, excessive focus on self. Bo Lozoff
10. Bolivia has become the first country in the world to give nature comprehensive legal rights in an effort to halt climate change and the exploitation of the natural world, and to improve quality of life for the Bolivian people. Developed by grassroots social groups and agreed by politicians, the Law of Mother Earth recognises the rights of all living things, giving the natural world equal status to human beings. See HERE.
11. I wish someone would invite me to a party like THIS.
12. Liam's birthday story told via a Facebook album is HERE.
13. It's been windy on the Blue Ridge Parkway, but not THIS windy.
________Thirteen Thursday
My Boston Mass cousin Gerry and his wife Marie didn't expect to meet so many fellow New Englanders in the Floyd County mountains.
They were passing through from a vacation in Tennessee and I promised I'd show them some Floyd nightlife. After seeing our cabin off the Parkway and meeting the chickens that Gerry had been seeing on my Facebook posts, we had a great meal at Oddfella's Cantina that included a sing-along of Wagon Wheel and some ale on-tap.
While checking out the iconic Oddfella's sign (far right), I told Gerry that he had to pick which represented him most, the farmer, the hippie or businessman. The avid vegetable gardener, chose the farmer and we all cheered him on.
We were disappointed that the Country Store was closed, but our visitors enjoyed the stories of past Redmans that I had talked into flat-footing with me on the Country Store dance floor. But I never could convince my dad.
At Dogtown Roadhouse, Gerry and Marie met our friend Chris, who grew up in Hingham, Mass, and a couple of friends from New Hampshire. Our friend Bob, a staunch Yankee fan who is originally from New York and who was collecting cover charge admittance, threatened not to let any Red Sox fans in to the show.
It was a Best of Open Mic being recorded for a fundraising CD to benefit the student Music Lab at the June Bug Center. We only caught a few of the all original sets and those were highly entertaining. I explained the who's who of Floyd's onstage notables, in this case musician homeschoolers Eli and Aila Wildman, their mom Deb and teacher Mike Mitchell.
Gerry's phone battery died, so he asked me to get a shot of this new-to-me-band Reptile DysFUNKtion. A couple of the band members are old friends and the lead singer/sax player is a parent of a student at the Springhouse Community School, where Joe is a part of the leadership team.
We really got a kick out of the above recorded quirky song that was something between a love song about heartbreak and one about Mexican food and heartburn. Did he really just say, "My Burning Heart and your Big burrito?" We loved it either way.
More who's who notables: Abby Bowen, Luke Thomas and Laurel Brooke doing some folk rock with a hint of mountain blue. And who knew Gerry could dance?
I don't know who these people are or if they are real. Some are statues, some are people and some are reflections. My own apparition appears in some of the shots, taken at the HirshhornScluptureMuseum in D.D. The piece was made by Dan Graham with two way mirrors, steel wood and stone. More on the Hirshhorn HERE.
______Shadow Shot Sunday / ________Weekend Reflections
Below are some comments made to WSLS TV's Katy Love by members of Citizens Preserving Floyd County on the recent development that the Mountain Valley Pipeline proposed by two partner companies would not be coming through Floyd as had previously been announced.
"We're so happy that we were able to stop this pipeline and I really think that we have. I'm sure that the company will not tell you that because they don't want to know that little people can do this sort of thing. Floyd is a great example of a small community who has fought Goliath. We are an example. All these other places could be like us. It's time for individual places and people to be speaking up to these companies that would damage their environment." – Jane Cundiff
"It's wonderful because it shows that community resistance works. At the same time, it's not good enough. Our campaign is "No Pipeline." I can't, in good conscience, celebrate that my kids are safe when our people's are at risk." – Tree Gigante
"I think my country no longer represents me. They represent special interests and money. It's time for people to stop thinking that hope is not possible. We were told this was inevitable. Nothing's inevitable. Stand up and shake it up. We need to make the world we want to live in." – Anne Armistead
"I think there were a lot of people that slept better last night knowing that it was not going to come through Floyd, but it was bittersweet … We are very aware that there are a lot of people and a lot of counties that are still embroiled in the same struggle. It's our intention in Floyd to do what we can to support these other communities with the resources we have." – Mara Robbins
1. The first thing Joe said to me Monday morning was, "I just dreamt my dream house." Duh. Of course it was a dream house because he dreamt it, we later realized.
2. I recently sent my sister Kathy the picture above of the rug she braided me and our new kitchen furniture with a caption that read "How do you like me now?"
3. A couple of years ago I sent her a picture of baby Liam on the same rug playing with pots and pans and a caption that read "See what a good life your rug is having."
4. Liam was four yesterday. I called him up and asked, "What special day is this?" "It's my brr-ay!" he answered. See how sweet he is and how cooperatively he and his brother Bryce play HERE.
5. It must be fall because the hens have stopped laying, the first woodstove fire has been lit and the annual Kind at the Pine Halloween Costume Party is circled on my calendar.
6. Quote seen on Facebook – Writer's Block: When your imaginary friends won't talk to you.
7. When my son Josh was little he had an imaginary friend named Tommy. After a long time had passed without him mentioning his friend, I asked him what happened to Tommy. "Oh, he got born, mom," Josh answered.
8. Life is such a whirlwind that I think the word "world" should be spelled "whirled."
9. And maybe weather should be spelled whether, as in whether or not?
10. What do you wake up thinking about? What is your beautiful question? What surprises you when you sit in silence and practice self-awareness? What is your struggle and how has it served you? What makes you shake to talk about? What makes you break out in a spontaneous smile? Those are just some of the questions I ask myself before our women's dialogue circle check-in.
11. Years ago I had a favorite claw-legged Victorian couch that I had reupholstered from purple to green, but then I lost it in divorce. Later, I saw it in a dream being lifted high in the air by a crane.
12. Last week the students at Springhouse Community School, the school that my husband co-founded, performed at the Floyd Radio Show, doing a multi-media presentation of narrative, crankie puppetry and song. It was based on an interview they did with a local farmer who recently put his farm in a conservation easement to assure it would remain as farmland. In telling his story, the farmer shared that he was drafted during Vietnam, but before going to war, he traveled the country, saying, "I figured if I was going to die for my country, I might as well see it." He also said, "The war took the fun out of me." See HERE.
13. Speaking of art: How many light bulbs does it take to illuminate one fantastic art installation? The answer is HERE. And it's worth the trip or click.

IndyCar: Carpenter looks for second straight oval win; also visits NYC for media
Jul 3, 2014, 1:00 PM EST
Only Team Penske (three wins) has more wins thus far in the 2014 Verizon IndyCar Series season than does Ed Carpenter Racing (two), achieved by two different drivers. Mike Conway won at Long Beach and Ed Carpenter won in Texas.
And if the eponymous team owner of the No. 20 Fuzzy's Vodka Chevrolet wins this weekend in Pocono (Sunday, noon ET, NBCSN), ECR will be tied with one of IndyCar's most successful operations overall for the most wins this season.
It would also give Carpenter his second 500-mile race win, having also conquered the 500-mile season finale at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. in 2012.
"I think we actually had a good chance at both races on the ovals this year," Carpenter said heading into the weekend. "We were in position to challenge Ryan (Hunter-Reay) at Indy but the incident on lap 175 cost us that possibility. Now, I really want to go after that Pocono win.
"I really love racing at Pocono," he added; he finished ninth at Pocono in 2013. "It is so unique and challenging. I'm not sure there is another corner in our IndyCar Series like turn one at Pocono. It's flat out on the throttle and very tricky. Just like the track's nickname applies."
Carpenter could play spoiler to the rest of the full-season drivers. With this being a double points race, a win offers 100 points with second 80 (instead of 50 and 40, respectively). It could provide a swing in the championship.
Carpenter was also in New York City Thursday for a series of media, including on CNBC's Squawk Street and NBCSN's SportsDash. Clips will follow later in the day.

The report, "In its last days, UPA allowed Ministers to retain govt. houses" (June 25), shows that after gross misrule and indulging in deep corruption, the UPA appears to have also displayed unwarranted favouritism as far as official accommodation was concerned. That many of the beneficiaries include the dependants of even those who have passed away shows that the Narendra Modi government needs to revisit many unjustified decisions of the UPA.
R. Mallika,
One fails to understand the logic behind the UPA government's decision at the last moment to have permitted these people to continue living in official bungalows. Is it not gross abuse of power and a waste of tax-payers' money? Any leniency in this issue is quite unwarranted.
K.M.G. Vivekanandam,

Additional Information
Sometimes clients deserve to be shown two fingers
Last week, on Campaign's front page, the French creative duo Frédéric Raillard and Farid Mokart provided an amusing lesson in how to respond to clients that decide to put their business up for review for no apparent reason. "The new Wrangler guy doesn't like our 'we are animal' campaign," they said. "Fine. Our 'we are animal' campaign doesn't like him."
But beneath the characteristic bombastically juvenile words from an agency that prides itself on not taking everything too seriously (see its "On the creative floor" from 2012 for evidence), the pair were also making a serious point.
They were rightly proud of their Cannes-winning work – it was not the campaign's fault that the account was put up for review and that, ultimately, they were still the owners of that idea. It was refreshing to see an agency that was prepared to stand up for what it believes in (in this case, most importantly, its work) rather than cravenly issue a standard "we wish them well" pro forma. Could we see this happening over here? I hope so, as client demands seem to be increasingly unreasonable and at times unfair.
Starcom MediaVest Group's Iain Jacob gave a teasingly revealing quote last year when the agency resigned its Premier Foods account after the client demanded agencies pay to be on its roster. He said:
"We pride ourselves on being a transparent business and we operate to the highest professional standards." Whatever can he have meant? Anyway, Premier Foods eventually backtracked on its plans when agencies put up a united front against such behaviour.
It was refreshing to see an agency stand up for what it believes in rather than issue a 'we wish them well' pro forma
Leagas Delaney also deserves credit for deciding not to repitch for the British Red Cross account, for which it produced a hauntingly powerful ad, after that too went up for review (again, for no apparent reason).
There is widespread sympathy for CHI & Partners, which is being forced to defend its £55 million Argos account despite the campaign being the most salient in the sector – something that even the client himself is willing to acknowledge.
And what about poor old Grey London, which, having created one of the most popular and effective campaigns for the British Heart Foundation, was told that it was also up for review at the end of last year? What's particularly gut-wrenching about the latter is that, as a charity account, it was hardly much of a money-spinner but rather an example of an agency willing to allocate a disproportionate amount of time and resource for the sake of societal good.
Both CHI and Grey have every reason to feel the same as Fred & Farid – their work was good and effective, and the punishment of a time-consuming and expensive review seems crassly unfair. Maybe a more Gallic approach would have been in order.

text: Process Report 4 SWOT Analysis Strengths 优势 ● The establishment and management of the flower shop is greatly supported by the local government. ● One of the main advantages of the shop is that we can apply the special kinds of flower ● We will have a quality training team. The strong faculty of our worker can suggest the customer how to take care the flower. ● We are the only one which can rend the green plants to business company. Business company just pay out the rental, and receive a good working atmosphere. ● We have found out a supplier in Shunde that can apply the flower timely with favorable price. ● We will set up a training class for who want to study floriculture. They can buy the material in our shop. Weakness 弱势 ● The fees are higher than the local shop named The Sister Flower shop ● The two workers, though they have good command of flower, lack experiences in running an flower shop. ● The high investment brings a heavy burden and we have not much current capital. ● There will be only one full-time boy to delivery the flower product to customer. ● We are not experienced in offering online services. Opportunities 机会 ● We are the second flower shop in HuangGe. ● We set up a net in internet likely Taobao. The customers can search our product by computer and order the goods directly. ● We are the only one which can rend the green plants to business company.

We will spend 8,000 yuan for buying teaching facilities, computers and relevant equipment, 15,000 Yuan in decoration, 6,000 Yuan in promotion and advertisement. We will have to cover the amount of RMB 10,800 Yuan as the first half year's rental. And we will need a certain amount of capital as miscellaneous expenditures too. The project forecasts that the turnover and profit can reach 255,500.00 Yuan and 102,200 Yuan per year. In the first year these two figures will rise by 30% and 18% separately and will hopefully increase step by step in the coming years.

That's very apt then, Scott.
I didn't mention lily properly because she's already a Stargazer Lily, like I'm a pale pink Busy-Lizzie, but I wish I was a rose like in my picture.
Yes, stunning.
Of course, KEF, have you got a purple rinse?
I feed my roses in pots every month and my roses in the ground once or twice a year. They get very hungry, can't send roots out searching for food, so they rely on you. They also need quite a lot of water.
Criss, I think you will get more results from a new thread, you'll only get people expecting runner beans here!
We've had a lot of practice!
Oh, then a short yellow lily! You are the same height as me.
I imagined KEF being tall and blonde, now I know she is tall! I thought of a tall yellow lily, except there is already a lily here but she is pink.
Nutcutlet I thought of as a hazel tree, she's a bit of a tree expert and you can put hazelnuts in your nutcutlets.
Fairy I'd thought of dierama, Angel's Fishing Rod, could be used by a fairy too.
Orchid Lady is Tracey, she sounds fun and younger than some so I thought Snapdragon, used to play with them when I was a child.
It's lovely, my OH gave it to me fairly recently.
Good answer Dove, well thought out, but I associate Verdun with agastaches and grasses!
This is a hard one. But Chicky likes flowers and has chicklets which sort of makes me think of lupins. But I don't know if she's tall or short!
Dove's are silvery and soft, so I was thinking Stachys Byzantina, but I don't know if she likes it. She's just made a pond and that's more for dry places.

DEFINITION of 'Earnings Before Interest, Depreciation, Amortization and Exploration - EBIDAX'
An earnings metric used in the evaluation of oil, gas and mineral firms. The metric is used in a similar manner to the way that EBITDA is used for other firms, and allows investors and other stakeholders to get a better idea of the true earnings-generating capacity of the firm without the obscuring the effects of accounting rules.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Earnings Before Interest, Depreciation, Amortization and Exploration - EBIDAX'
EBIDAX is one of several earnings metrics that may be employed by analysts to evaluate the financial strength of an oil, gas or mineral firm. Exploration costs are excluded because there are different methods than can be used to account for exploration costs in oil and gas accounting. Excluding these costs allows for a more accurate comparison to the firm's competitors, who may use different accounting methods.

5 HIX Challenges for Health Insurers
The long-awaited proposed rules for health insurance exchanges were revealed Monday and so far industry reaction has been generally positive. But health insurers face new business risks and increased competition as they work to figure out how to appeal to the individual and small group market.
HIXs are among the Accountable Care Act's arsenal of cost-cutting weapons. Individual states will create these new marketplaces where almost anyone will be able to compare the prices and benefits of a mix of health plan offerings. The idea is that through exchanges individuals and small employers will enjoy the same cost breaks on healthcare insurance as big employers.
Much of the HIX focus has been on what states will need to do to create and manage exchanges, but a new report says health plans need to get in the game and start planning how they will position themselves to sell their products in what is estimated to be a $60 billion business.
"The exchange is an entirely new market that doesn't exist now," Jeffrey Gitlin, a health industry principal at PricewaterhouseCoopers, explained in a telephone interview. "Payers will need to make some significant changes in the way they do business."
So what are the key considerations for insurers as they prepare for health insurance exchanges? A PwC report, Change the Channel: Health Insurance Exchanges Expand Choice and Competition, offers some insight into what insurers are thinking about as they take the leap into exchanges. The study is based on a nationwide survey of 1,000 consumers and 153 health insurance executives concerning their expectations of exchanges. PwC also conducted in-depth interviews with 35 healthcare industry leaders.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

A Bank Holiday fun day is set to take place this Monday outside Wrexham's Guildhall on Llwyn Isaf.
Weather permitting the event will go ahead from 1-6pm with stalls selling treats, a Pimms tent, Wrexham Lager, hot refreshments from Just Tea & Coffee and food cooked by rustic cooks.
There will also be live music from the band stand and a visit from the Crusaders players for what should prove to be a fun family day out.
The event has been organised by the Wrexham Town Centre Forum and follows on from the success of the Jubilee party on Llwyn Isaf in June.
All proceeds raised on the day will go to Hope House Hospice.

First came the Surgeon General's warnings on the packs of cigarettes that I once smoked. The warnings were correct, of course, and perhaps necessary to supplant the influence of massing advertising campaigns that targeted young people.
Nation's warning label crusade approaching ridiculous levels
States exploring all options over road and bridge repair funding
While there were a number of legislative victories during the 2014 session of the Mississippi Legislature, lawmakers could not reach agreement on a long term fix for an old problem – the fact that the revenue structure for funding road and bridge construction and repair in Mississippi isn't keeping pace with the projected costs of the state's needs.
Byrom execution: Equal rights should mean equal responsibility
I have no idea whatsoever if Mississippi Death Row inmate Michelle Byrom is guilty of the masterminding the alleged murder-for-hire of her husband, Edward Byrom Sr., in 1999 in Iuka. The Byrom case is not one in which I've invested any significant research.
Cook's respected analysis bears out Miss. Senate race dynamics
There are few political analysts in the U.S. and particularly in the South whose prognostications and informed analyses are more universally respected by Republicans and Democrats alike than those authored by Louisiana-native Charlie Cook.
State was one of several exploring 'free' community college tuition
House Bill 424, known as the Mississippi Promise Community College Tuition Gap Pilot Program, died in committee on March 4 after being referred to the Senate Universities and Colleges Committee and the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Will drug testing for welfare benefits really save tax dollars?
Mississippi lawmakers are into the home stretch in the 2014 legislative session, and one of the surviving bills is House Bill 49, which would require drug testing for some people who apply for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or what is commonly known as "welfare" benefits.
Entry of Taylor, Childers into House and Senate campaigns raises stakes
The script in Indiana went like this: Tea Party activists decided longtime Indiana Republican U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar "wasn't conservative enough" to suit them and targeted him for defeat in the 2012 Indiana GOP primary.
Hurricane Katrina & the Tea Party: Introductions are indeed in order
Seems uncertainty reared its head in Mississippi's Republican U.S. Senate primary this week. But the depth and degree of uncertainty – if one wants to call it that – between the two candidates really defines the race and points up the choices facing Mississippi voters.
Even with a stacked deck, UAW dealt a stunning loss
Despite everything but an engraved invitation to unionize from the company, the 1,550 hourly workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., rejected representation by the United Auto Workers labor union by a vote of 712 to 626 on Valentine's Day.
Senate campaign will compare grassroots and astroturf politics
While watching what is shaping up to be a bitter and bloody U.S. Senate campaign in Mississippi, it's important that state voters not lose sight of the fact that in the name of "grassroots" politics they are going to bear witness to a lot of folks selling "astroturf."

Breathing new life into the downtown core
The Williams Lake Downtown Business Improvement Association (BIA) has a fresh new set of faces with new ideas to help improve the downtown shopping and visiting experience for locals and tourists alike.
"We all know that our downtown is suffering, we have an abundance of vacant storefronts in our core, we have merchants without successor ship, businesses for sale and a shaky economy," states the BIA Board of Directors in a letter distributed to downtown merchants last week.
The BIA says they've purchased community branding and downtown development guru Roger Brooks' book, '20 Ingredients to a Destination Downtown', and plan to put every effort forward to learn how to run like a well-oiled machine by implementing some of the key strategies for downtown revitalization.

|Man you guys are really dogging on Gardner
Remember when he had the best YPA and QB rating in the B1G? That wasn't that long ago. It's not Gardner's fault he's regressed to this point. It's not the receiver's fault we won't be playing in a bowl. The team has fallen apart due to lack of accountability on sooo many levels. This is just flat out a bad team coached by a bad coach.

|Feeling bad for someone
doesn't mean you condone their actions in any way. Or that you feel less sorry for their victims.
There's no shame in feeling bad for the fact that there are millions of young children out there who witnessed domestic violence growing up - or were themselves the victims of abuse - who are now passing that violence on to the next generation. Frank Clark may be one of them. Just because a football player was given lots of opportunities to correct their wrongs at the age of 18 (by the time their personality traits are already formulated) doesn't mean they're playing on the same level as those who grew up in much better living situations.

|Anyone else think the thread title is a little misleading?
Makes it seem like he has some special insight on the topic, which after reading the actual comments, does not appear to be the case.
Instead he's just spouting off opinions, which don't seem to be very carefully evaluated. I mean, our problem is recruiting too many "trust fund babies"? Really? Our 2012 and 2013 recruiting classes were ranked #7 and #5, respectively, on Rivals. These players were highly touted coming out of high school. I'm thinking the problem has more to do with what they do once they get here rather than their socioeconomical status (and I highly doubt that matters in any case). Sounds more like Larry is trying to rationalize the scenario in a way that subscribes to his preconceived worldview, rather than critically evaluating the facts.

johnthesavage did and I just commented on it. He said he'd take Kelly over Hoke but prefers Harbaugh over both.

I took that to mean that Reader71 values a coach's demeanor above their W/L record, meaning I have to assume he prefers Hoke over Harbaugh.

Everyone associated with the organization at the time the phrase was first uttered is gone. Dantonio is the guy who refuses to speak to his family for 40 years over something no one else even remembers.

When I read that comment... Hoke has Meyer's number about as much as Carr had Tressels number, which is to say, not at all.

|It really amazes me how we treat these booth people like gods
They sit up there completely invisible and make decisions in utmost secrecy (we don't even have any idea WHO actually is making these decisions) and we peons just accept it. No explanations necessary. I mean how about some freaking accountability? These guys are fools and completely incompetent. It's not brain surgery - how do you mess up an obvious call like this (or the Rutgers one) unless you're just completely incapable of being a replay official?

|Yes what a special moment for Devin
getting steamrolled by his in-state rival.That's exactly what I was thinking too. (Not that I blame Devin entirely, he was awful but the whole football organization is just incompetent and terrible)

|Still, it's hard to say we didn't have it coming...
I mean, it's not as if we had been utterly dominant over that 6-win streak. Michigan could have pretty easily been 2-4 instead.
Under the same reasoning, it seems the data we have now indicates at least another 5/6 for Sparty :( except instead of nailbiters, most of them will just be pummelings. Alright time for me to stop wallowing... Maybe we'll at least reverse the downward trend in points this year?

|I never said it surprised me
and the players themselves will always talk smack. But as fans we skating on thin ice - on the heels of quite a streak of luck that for some reason we thought was utter domination. Only two wins in our stretch of 6 straight could even remotely be called convincing - 2002 and 2006. The 2003 game took a heroic effort from Perry, 2004 was the Braylonfest OT miracle, 2005 was another OT nailbiter, and 2007 required a 10 point comeback in the final 10 minutes.

|Carr was a very good coach...
but Tressel ultimately did him in. At the end of the day though, I'd say his biggest flaw was failing to set up a suitable replacement ahead of time, and not embracing the role of "caretaker of the football program" like Bo did. When Michigan needed a strong leader more than ever Carr was nowhere to be seen.
Also if there is any truth at all to the rumor that he vetoed Les Miles that's just infuriating.

|I don't understand why people don't get this...
Before the CFP people were saying "Trust us, it'll never get past 4 teams, 4 is really just the perfect number." Well, we haven't even been one year in the new system and there are already people howling that 8 is the perfect number. It'll change, but then everyone will be saying why not 12 teams like the NFL?
