Immigration order may indirectly expand health coverage
Experts say President Barack Obama's executive order may indirectly lead to a significant number of immigrants, particularly children, enrolling in Medicaid as well as private health plans.
Experts say President Barack Obama's executive order may indirectly lead to a significant number of immigrants, particularly children, enrolling in Medicaid as well as private health plans.
The lawsuit, filed against the secretaries of HHS and the U.S. Treasury, contests President Barack Obama's decision to waive the healthcare law's employer mandate and the penalties for failing to comply with it without first receiving congressional approval for the change.
A list of the nation's 28 largest skilled-nursing providers, ranked by revenue in 2013. Source: Modern Healthcare's 15th annual Post-Acute Care Survey, Securities and Exchange Commission filings, Internal Revenue Service filings and company annual reports. Published Nov. 24, 2014, p. 32.
Richard Umbdenstock will end an eight-year run as president and CEO of the American Hospital Association, the nation's most powerful hospital trade group, at the end of 2015, the AHA confirmed Friday.
The Obama administration wants to modify policies for automatic health insurance re-enrollments and strengthen rules for provider directories for the 2016 open enrollment period.
The next Ebola or the next SARS. Maybe even the next HIV. Even before the Ebola epidemic in West Africa is brought under control, public health officials are girding for the next health disaster.
For many systems across the country, the expense side of the balance sheet is growing almost as fast as the revenue side, prompting providers to look for new ways to cut costs.
Another proposal to overhaul health IT regulation is surfacing in Congress, this one with a powerful Republican name attached to it, that of incoming Senate Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch.
As the number of medical-device recalls has rapidly increased, so has the complexity of the recalls. That is raising questions about safety and risks for hospitals that mostly still track and locate faulty products manually.
Lucia Savage, the new chief privacy officer at ONC, said she'll be looking for "the right balance of rules between our need as a society to have better information" to keep costs under control and improve care and protect patient privacy.

"This is the perfect New Years Card to announce that my husband and I are expecting our first child in February 2015! Our photographer took pictures of my husband, dog and I with deflated and inflated balloons with the phrases "About to Pop" and "February 2015". I optioned for the pearl shimmer paper and envelopes to give our New Years Card an elegant look-- It is worth the extra few cents! The cards arrived a week earlier than expected and I couldn't be happier with the customer service I received from Tiny Prints!"
"This card looked great when I received it! The free designer review was excellent. I wasnt sure if i should get glossy or matte, but the designer suggested matte based on my photo of choice. It was beautiful. Thanks tinyprints!"
"The card is beautiful! I took some quick pictures of my kids in front of the Christmas tree, and our Christmas cards have been receiving praise from everyone we know! The card is beautiful. Great quality! And I was able to use the tools offered in the editing process to make a mediocre picture look fantastic! I was really cutting it close with a last-minute order, and was amazed to receive such high quality cards in so little time. Thank you!"
"Sarah Hawkins' beautiful design transformed a few pictures into a piece of family art. Will treasure forever. Kim in customer service is an angel!"
"3rd Year in a row, and we'll be back next year! Great quality paper, looked exactly like the preview and the printing was again superb. If you use a high-res photo, your card will be very professional looking. Thanks again for a great year of holiday cards!"

Odd Future affiliate Frank Ocean recently talked about the success of his long-awaited Channel Orange studio debut and why, in some unfortunate scenario, the LP could be his last.
Ocean cited his love for the art of music-making as a possible reason he ends an album run with Channel Orange.
"Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story, but music sometimes, just music itself, can turn into more of a maths problem. I guess everything in life is a math problem, but it can be more about an empirical route to getting the symmetry that you want, and this vibe, sonically. But storytelling's a different thing. Like I said, it's the more interesting part about making music for me, or making albums and songs and stuff. So much so that I might not make another album. I might just write a novel next. I don't know!" (Guardian)
He also threw out a few death scenarios as factors which could force him to hang up the towel after his solo debut.
"It could be. It could be it, if I flew next week and my plane crashed! It could be it if somebody walked along and shot me for my bracelet or something. It could always be it. The idea of recognising your strengths and using them in as versatile a way as you can is cool to me. I don't ever want to be caught up in a system of thinking I can do one thing cos that's just … that's just telling yourself a lie. But I do like to sing. I play piano every day. I enjoy that." (Guardian)
In October, Frank raised eyebrows after hinting at a possible early music retirement.
Known for his unique Text Edit posts and vibrant use of Tumblr, Frank Ocean took to his Twitter to say one thing and one thing only. Find out what it is after the jump. "YEA, I QUIT." Just posted moments ago, the short and direct phrase was posted in a text post with much left to the imagination to figure out. Whether he means music, it is quite unclear but we can only hope that he doesn't mean music. Either way we support his decisions 100%. (Karen Civil)
Outside of his own success, Ocean recently spoke on linking up with rap stars Pharrell Williams and Jay-Z.
"I SAD IN THE STUDIO DAYS AGO WITH JIGGAMAN AND PHARRELL. PHARRELL LOOKS 19. THEY SEEMED LIKE OLD FRIENDS. I WONDER HOW MANY TROPHIES ARE LODGED IN THEIR MINDS. I WONDER WHY THEY STILL BUILD. I BUILD THINGS FOR THE SPORT AND THE THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS. FOR IMMORTALITY B*****TCH. I SAY IMMORTALITY IN JEST, BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW ONE THING FOR CERTAIN. HOLY F*CK, I DON'T WANT WANNA WRITE ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW. [sic]" (Frank Ocean's Tumblr)

Edward Snowden was among the winners on Wednesday of a Swedish human rights award, sometimes referred to as the "alternative Nobel," for his disclosures of top secret surveillance programs.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be portraying Edward Snowden in the upcoming Oliver Stone project.
Former National Security Agency systems analyst turned leaker Edward Snowden said that the NSA is collecting mass surveillance data on New Zealanders through its XKeyscore programme.
The National Security Agency was unable to find evidence that leaker Edward Snowden ever raised concerns internally about its sweeping surveillance programs, after an exhaustive search that included deleted emails, court documents showed.
Town Hall Road, a hub for electronic shops and lodges, derives its name from Victoria Edward Hall established in its current location in 1912.
Nobel prize season starts on Monday with speculation rife that the peace prize could go to Edward Snowden, Malala Yousafzai, or perhaps Pope Francis.
The state government has formed a committee, headed by professor Edward De Lima, to prepare the draft for the official language policy. The policy will specify the use of languages considering the spirit of Official Language Act.
On Monday , Oscar winning director Oliver Stone announced that Joseph Gordon Levitt will play Edward Snowden in his upcoming film about the controversial former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor.

Now maybe it's just me, but with the sudden arrival of Frank Ocean's debut album and a new single from veteran crooner Ne-Yo the genre of R&B seems poised to have one of the best weeks in recent memory. Not to be overdone by boisterous newcomers Ne-Yo has released Let Me Love You, the second single from his upcoming album R.E.D. As crowded as the R&B/pop realm can be at times, the artist born Shaffer Chimere Smith has always managed to keep his head above water. And with songs that feature a tantalizing mix of silky vocals and club-ready production his longevity in the game should come as no surprise. Heavy on the keys, the production for Let Me Love You comes courtesy of Norwegian production duo (and frequent collaborators) Stargate. Basically, if you find yourself listening to Let Me Love You at your local club hot spit, then be prepared to have an Apple Martini (or equally Sex & The City-ish drink) spilled on your back by a pack of overly excited twenty-somethings. They're going to absolutely love this one. Ne-Yo's R.E.D. will be released via Compound Entertainment/Motown on September 18.

A few months back Cinematical reported a rumour that Sony were considering shooting "Spider-Man 4″ and "Spider-Man 5″ back-to-back.
Seems that tidbit was more than just a "Web" rumour – geddit? Geddit?!! – with Nikki Fenke at Hollywood Deadline Daily licking it, stamping it and sending the rumour to the concrete factory.
Fenke reports that Sony have inked a deal with Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire to return for the next film/s (Kirsten Dunst will probably be back too). Considering how reluctant they were to return for another – and I don't blame 'em, they saw that shitty "Spider-Man 3″ too, right? – some mighty long carrots must've been dangled in front of the filmmaker and actor, respectively.
The site also mentions – or rather speculates, and wisely so – the possibility of Dylan Baker finally getting a chance to wear the scales of The Lizard in the next film.

Why Hawaii People Could Live Longer
Monday 26th of August 2013 | By: Toryyang | Views: 205 | Comments: 0 | Rating: |

CMS Issues the HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2016 Proposed Rule
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services [CMS], U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS]
[Guidance Overview]
"[CMS] today issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to improve consumers' experience in the Health Insurance Marketplace and to ensure their coverage options are affordable and accessible. To establish the new consumer standards for 2016, the proposed rule seeks to implement several [ACA] provisions on payment parameters for issuers and Marketplaces. Today's proposed rule would build on previously issued standards and provisions, which are making high-quality health insurance available to millions of Americans. The proposed rules for 2016 would further strengthen transparency, accountability, and the availability of information for consumers about their health plans."

Internal Revenue Service [IRS]
[Official Guidance]

Text of IRS Notice 2014-76: Individual Shared Responsibility Payment Hardship Exemptions That May Be Claimed on a Federal Income Tax Return Without Obtaining a Hardship Exemption Certification from the Marketplace (PDF)
Internal Revenue Service [IRS]
[Official Guidance]
7 pages. "In several pieces of published guidance, HHS has identified hardships affecting an individual's ability to obtain minimum essential coverage, which, pursuant to guidance issued by the Treasury Department and the IRS, permits a qualifying individual to claim a hardship exemption on a Federal income tax return without obtaining a hardship exemption certification from the Marketplace. This notice recognizes the following hardships identified by HHS and allows a qualifying individual (or the taxpayer who may claim a qualifying individual as a dependent) to claim a hardship exemption on a Federal income tax return without obtaining a hardship exemption certification from the Marketplace. Individuals seeking a hardship exemption that is not on this list can apply for an exemption through the Marketplace."

Internal Revenue Service [IRS]
[Official Guidance]

This revenue procedure also updates the required contribution percentage in Section

Additionally, this revenue procedure cross-references the required contribution percentage under Section
for plan years beginning after calendar year 2015, as determined under guidance issued by the [HHS]. This percentage is used to determine whether an individual is eligible for an exemption from the individual shared responsibility payment because of a lack of affordable minimum essential coverage."

ACA Fees, and Forms, and Delays, Oh My!
Ogletree Deakins
"In the latest round of delays under the [ACA], ... the deadline for health plans to provide enrollment information to the transitional reinsurance program has been extended to December 5, 2014.... [E]mployer health plan sponsors should take note of [these additional upcoming] ACA-related deadlines: ... And [here are] a few reminders of ongoing obligations and other recent changes that employers should keep on their radar screens[.]"
Text of Comments by Investment Company Institute to EBSA on Standards for Brokerage Windows in Participant-Directed Individual Account Plans (PDF)
Investment Company Institute [ICI]
"We believe the Department's existing guidance pertaining to brokerage windows provides a clear road-map for plan fiduciaries ... We are not aware of any gaps or areas where further guidance from the Department is desired. Nor are we aware of any problems associated with the inclusion of brokerage windows in plans that would necessitate additional guidance or rulemaking by the Department. Before proposing any changes to the existing framework surrounding brokerage windows, it is imperative that the Department first identify a problem in need of a solution."
2015 Is Lurking: Are Your Health and Welfare and Cafeteria Plans Up-to-Date?
Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP
"While very few changes are mandatory, there have been several legal developments over the past year that present the opportunity to make design changes to these plans. So curl up by the fire with a hot cup of cocoa and those plan documents and review this list of potential year-end health and welfare and cafeteria plan amendments."
Text of Comments by U.S. Chamber of Commerce to PBGC on Proposed Reporting of Distribution Methods, Payment of Premiums (PDF)
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
"[T]he PBGC intends to revise the 2015 premium filing procedures and instructions to require reporting of certain undertakings to cash out or annuitize benefits for a specified group of former employees. We strongly discourage collection of this information as we see no benefit to it and also because no reason has been offered for it. In addition, it is not clear exactly what type of information will be sought."
Recent Developments Suggest Plan Changes That Benefit Both Employers and Employees
Epstein Becker Green
"[R]ecent changes in tax law and court decisions in the ERISA area encourage employers to revisit their retirement plans and consider pocketbook and non-pocketbook improvements for the employer and employee alike. [1] Tax aspects of qualified retirement plans can save money for both employers and employees; [2] The benefits of a contractual claims limitation period; [3] The benefits of a contractual venue selection clause; [4] The standard of judicial review in the context of top hat plan benefit disputes; and [5] Fiduciary exception to the attorney-client privilege in plan administration."
Text of OPM Proposed Regs: Establishment of the Multi-State Plan Program for the Affordable Insurance Exchanges
Office of Personnel Management
[Official Guidance]
83 pages. "This proposed rule clarifies the approach used to enforce the applicable requirements of the Affordable Care Act with respect to health insurance issuers that contract with OPM to offer [Multi-State Plan (MSP)] options. This proposed rule amends MSP standards related to coverage area, benefits, and certain contracting provisions under section 1334 of the Affordable Care Act. This document also makes non-substantive technical changes."
People Who Wanted Market-Driven Health Care Now Have It in the Affordable Care Act
The Brookings Institution
"The United States never adopted a simple national health plan to cover everyone. Instead, we have relied primarily on employer-based health insurance, generously favored by tax laws.... Millions of people were left out of employer-based coverage and were not old enough or poor enough to qualify for the public programs. For 50 years, we have been arguing over how to fill that hole. Meanwhile, health care became more effective but also more expensive, and the number of people without coverage grew.... The compromise was to combine markets with regulation, sometimes called 'managed competition,' now called 'the Affordable Care Act.' "
Text of IRS Rev. Rul. 2014-32: Qualified Transportation Fringe Benefits Using Smartcards, Restricted Debit Cards, Cash Reimbursement Arrangements (PDF)
Internal Revenue Service [IRS]
[Official Guidance]
Revenue Ruling 2014-32 updates previous guidance on the use of smartcards, debit or credit cards, or other electronic media to provide qualified transportation fringe benefits to employees. This revenue ruling also provides guidance on the use by employees of debit cards for paying mandatory shipping fees on transit passes. Finally, the revenue ruling provides that after December 31, 2015, employers may no longer provide qualified transit fringe benefits under a bona fide cash reimbursement arrangement in cases in which a terminal-restricted debit card is the only readily available transit pass in the employer's geographic area.
The Way We Pay for Health Care Is Broken, and Here's Why
The Washington Post; subscription may be required
"Across the nation, large employers, health systems, health plans and other purchasers have endeavored to transform health care through innovation. The goal is to increase access, enhance care quality and improve the health of populations while controlling costs and bettering value. However promising, these new care models are unsustainable in the predominantly fee-for-service environment where payment is dictated by volume and not linked to quality or efficiency. This payment model doesn't realize the potential that investments in prevention can have in improving health and reducing costs over the long-term."
Health Enrollment Counting Error Shows Where HealthCare.gov Is Still Broken
The New York Times; subscription may be required
"Though the consumer-facing part of HealthCare.gov appears to be working much better than last year, the administration acknowledges that what it calls the 'back end' of the health insurance enrollment system is still unfinished.... The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee asked for the enrollment records behind the [September enrollment] number. Caitlin Carroll, a spokeswoman for the committee, said it came in the form of 289 Excel spreadsheets, each with the enrollments for an individual health plan in a given state."
Private Exchanges for Employer-Sponsored Health Plans: Panacea or Problem?
Solutions Law Press
"[E]mployers ... will want to critically review the vendor contracts and operating systems of the vendors that will participate in the program ... [for] prudence for inclusion, prohibited transactions, and other legal compliance, as well as to ensure that the contract by its terms holds the vendor responsible for delivering on service and other expectations created in the sales pitch.... [S]pecial attention should be given to fiduciary allocations, indemnification and standards of performance, business associate or other privacy and data security assurances required to comply with HIPAA and other confidentiality and data security requirements[.]"
Annuities Make Their Way Into Defined Contribution Plans
Thompson SmartHR Manager
[Guidance Overview]
"Concerns [had been] raised regarding potential discrimination if a TDF is made available only to a select group of participants within a certain number of years before retirement ... [
IRS Notice 2014-66
] concludes that a series of TDFs offered in a DC plan in which participation in some TDFs is restricted to participants of certain ages can be treated as a single [benefit, right or feature within the meaning of the regulations under Code section 401(a)(4)], provided that a number of conditions are met[.]"
EEOC Needs to Coordinate Wellness Guidance With ERISA Agencies, Attorneys Say
Bloomberg BNA
"The [EEOC's] lawsuit alleging that Honeywell International Inc.'s wellness program violated anti-discrimination laws is a 'gross overstep' that should provide a 'wake-up call' to President Barack Obama's administration to take a better coordinated approach to developing wellness program guidance for benefits plan sponsors, said benefits attorneys with Groom Law Group Chartered.... While the three agencies responsible for enforcing the [ACA] -- the [DOL] and departments of Treasury and [HHS] -- have 'gone above and beyond' in providing guidance to the plan sponsor community to encourage the use of wellness programs, the EEOC hasn't developed any sponsor guidance, instead relying on its enforcement guidelines, said Thomas F. Fitzgerald, principal."
Do Tax Incentives Increase 401(k) Retirement Saving? Evidence from the Adoption of Catch-Up Contributions
Center for Retirement Research at Boston College
"Compared with similar workers under age 50, the study finds that contributions increased by $540 more among age-50-plus individuals who had approached the 401(k) tax-deferral limits prior to turning 50, suggesting that the older individuals respond to the expanded tax incentives. For this group, the elasticity of retirement savings to the tax incentive is quite high: a one-dollar increase in the tax-deferred limit leads to an immediate 49-cent increase in 401(k) contributions."

Also includes PBGC handout: Draft Risk-Transfer Questions for 2015 Premium Filings.
Notes from Intersector Meeting with IRS/Treasury, October 15, 2014 (PDF)
American Academy of Actuaries, Society of Actuaries, Conference of Consulting Actuaries, and ASPPA College of Pension Actuaries
[Guidance Overview]
12 pages. Topics discussed: [1] Update from IRS/Treasury; [2] HATFA and IRS Notice 2014-53; [3] Automatic approval for change in actuary; [4] Longevity annuities in defined benefit plans; [5] Update on closed plan nondiscrimination; [6] Multiple Employer Plan Funding; [7] Possible partial sunset of IRC 432 multiemployer zone rules; [8] Notice of funding waiver request; and [9] Hybrid plan final and proposed regulations.
Section 408(b)(2) Disclosures: Dropping a Dime on Delinquent Covered Service Providers
ERISA Fiduciary Administrators LLC
[Guidance Overview]
"[T]he threat of reporting [a delinquent Covered Service Provider (CSP) to EBSA] provides leverage to obtain accurate disclosures ... [A Responsible Plan Fiduciary (RPF)] that continues to utilize the services of a delinquent CSP after the 90-day grace period, loses the relief available under the special class exemption, and the ongoing relationships would almost certainly constitute a prohibited transaction.... [It's] clear the EBSA has launched an initiative to examine plan providers and this reporting requirement supports that initiative."
Reforming Roth Provisions May Be Key to Improving Retirement Saving Rates for Millennials
Employee Fiduciary
"[The author proposes] the following two changes to the Roth provision, effective for all 401k plans: [1] Roth accounts should be required for all sponsors offering a 401k plan.... [2] Roth contributions should be tax deductible up to a $10,000 per year limit, and a lifetime limit of $100,000.... Younger workers would benefit the most, as they would have the longest investment horizon. With these changes, the new objective in retirement saving would be maxing out the $100K as soon as possible in an employee's working life."
Mainstream Wellness Program Challenged in EEOC v. Honeywell
Epstein Becker Green
"Despite the ACA's laudable policy goals of promoting affordable health care and transforming America's workers into a healthier and more productive workforce, the EEOC decided to file the Orion and Flambeau suits, and far more surprisingly, the Honeywell suit -- after dragging its feet for 14 years on providing meaningful guidance.... [T]he lack of long-sought EEOC guidance on how to promote participation through reasonable incentives and costs, coupled with concerns stemming from undue litigation risks, may challenge the use of certain financial incentives that could make the use of wellness programs more effective."
Is Self-Insuring the Answer for Employer Health Plans? It Depends on the Question.
Fox Rothschild LLP
"It may be that simple plan design changes can be made that make your current funding status more affordable.... Even if the employer contracts out for administration services, the obligations of compliance still fall to the employer.... Self-funded plans are subject to testing requirements that are not in place for insured plans. Plus there are the added reporting requirements of being self-funded. The annual cost of these types of administrative issues has to be taken into account before making a final determination."
BLS Reports on Trends in Employment-Based Health Insurance Coverage
Gabriel Roeder Smith & Company
"Health insurance constitutes the largest share of non-cash compensation for private-sector workers and rose from 32% of non-cash compensation in 1991 to 39% in 2012.... Between 1991 and 2012, the cost of health insurance paid by employers tripled while wages only rose 83%. From 1991 to 2002, employee access to employer-provided health insurance declined, primarily due to relatively low rates of access among part-time workers."
EEOC Casts Uncertainty on Popular Wellness Programs
Blank Rome LLP
"The EEOC has not issued any guidance as to what constitutes a 'voluntary' wellness program for purposes of the ADA, but has suggested informally that even a program that rewards participation rather than penalizing non-participation may not be voluntary.... [T]he ADA's limits on wellness programs, unlike those under HIPAA and the ACA, apply to all wellness programs, not just those offered as part of a group health plan."
The Changing Face of Retirement for Women: Balancing Family, Career and Financial Security (PDF)
48 pages. "Only one-fifth (20%) of women overall feel they are on course to achieve the income in retirement they anticipate they will need. Furthermore, twice this amount (40%) simply don't know whether they are on course or not.... Half (49%) of women in work are not confident they will be able to retire with a lifestyle that they consider comfortable.... Women are most confident about retirement in emerging economies, notably in China, India and Brazil."
For Women, the Path to a Financially Secure Retirement Is Filled with Many Obstacles
"Asked what words they associate most with retirement, survey respondents used positive words most often, such as 'leisure' (45%) and 'freedom' (39%). However, one-quarter (24%) of women associated retirement with 'insecurity' and almost one-fifth (18%) with 'poverty.' Only 20% of women overall feel they are on course with saving for a secure retirement, but twice this number (40%) simply do not know whether they are on course or not."
How One Executive Ended Up With $196 Million in an IRA
"Wealthy individuals can get around the annual IRA contribution limit of $5,500 for 2014 ... Company founders can fill retirement accounts with stock that isn't publicly traded. They use low values to stay technically under the contribution limit. After the stock rises in value, they can convert it into something more liquid. The GAO report said IRAs were designed as a retirement savings vehicle, not as a way to shield wealth."
The Right Fit: Global Bonds and Defined Contribution Plans
Alliance Bernstein
"At a time when US defined contribution plans are seeking to control risk and enhance returns, hedged global bonds can improve outcomes for participants and sponsors.... Many smaller plan sponsors now have the ability to add a global bond offering as a complement to their US bond offering, and to guide participants toward increased allocations to it. Even better, larger plan sponsors have the flexibility to incorporate global bonds directly into their core bond option."
Text of Comments by NAPA to EBSA on Standards for Brokerage Windows in Participant-Directed Individual Account Plans (PDF)
American Society of Pension Professionals & Actuaries [ASPPA]
"To encourage small employers to sponsor defined contribution plans, employers with 99 or fewer employees eligible to participate in the plan should be allowed to open [self-directed brokerage (SDB)]-only plans so long as each participant positively elects his or investment choices on the SDB account application form.... Fiduciaries of retirement plans with 100 or more eligible employees must designate a core menu of investment options before an SDB window can be offered to participants and beneficiaries ... The financial reporting rules for Form 5500 should continue to permit aggregate reporting of plan assets held in SDB accounts under the 'other' category of Schedule H."
Pension Actions in Atlanta and Jacksonville Stand, Stall on Courts' Whim
National Tax-Deferred Savings Association [NTSA]
"Atlanta, Ga. and Jacksonville, Fla. are both in the southeast, both face fiscal pressures over their public pension systems like many other cities, and both have been taken to court over their attempts to ameliorate that stress. But the similarities end there -- the courts took different tacks on their efforts to rein in public pension issues."
How to Keep Information Overload from Ruining Your Plans for Retirement
Deseret News
"There is no shortage of retirement advice and products today. In fact, according to the Deloitte Center for Financial Services, companies spent $1.14 billion advertising retirement products in 2011. Beyond all that advertising, you only have to type in the words 'retirement advice' into your favorite search engine to find page after page of information on retirement services and strategies. But according to some finance professionals, all that incoming information isn't necessarily a good thing."
Judge to Hear Arguments Over Illinois Pension Reform Law
"Lawyers for the state will try to convince a judge in state capital Springfield that the law is crucial to save the state's sinking finances. Attorneys for public labor unions and others will argue the law is invalid because it trounces on state constitutional protections for public worker retirement benefits. Illinois has the worst-funded state retirement system and its huge unfunded pension liability has helped pound its credit ratings to the lowest level among states."
PBGC Reports Five-Fold Increase in Multiemployer Program Deficit
McGuireWoods LLP
"Employers who participate in multiemployer plans, as well as their controlled-group affiliates, investors and lenders, need to understand the current and potential future status of these plans. In particular, they should determine: What is the current and projected future funding level of the plan? Are other employers withdrawing from the plan? How is the plan protecting against future insolvency? Who are the employer's controlled-group affiliates and is there a risk that investors will face controlled-group claims? What is the employer's estimated withdrawal liability? Are there appropriate transactions available to the employer to mitigate its risk consistent with ERISA, including withdrawal from the plan and a transfer of liability from the multiemployer plan to the employer's single-employer plan?"
Final Rules on Health Insurer Pay Deduction Limit Impose Calculation and Recordkeeping Challenges
Towers Watson
"In contrast to the $1 million pay deduction cap under Section 162(m) of the tax code that applies to all public companies, the health insurer deduction cap imposed under Section 162(m)(6) has a broader reach that applies to all employees (not just the CEO and next three highest-paid executives) and does not include exceptions for performance-based compensation or commissions. However, exceptions are provided for contributions to, or distributions from, certain types of retirement plans and benefits that are excludible from gross income (e.g., health benefits)."
2015 Obamacare Deductible and Out-of-Pocket Averages
"The average bronze plan deductible for 2015 is $5,181, up from $5,081 in 2014. The average 2015 bronze plan deductible for an individual is 326% higher than the average deductible amount documented for employer-sponsored health plans (deductibles in employer-sponsored health insurance were $1,217 on average for individual coverage according to the Kaiser Family Foundation's 2014 Employer Health Benefits Survey)."
A Guide to Calculating Employer Matching Contribution Limits
"When [annual contribution] limitations are announced, the focus has typically been on any increase in contributions participants can make to their retirement accounts. However, an equally important part of the equation accounts for any increase in matching contributions that the employer will make on behalf of the participant. With the annual compensation limit increasing to $265,000 from $260,000, the limit on the maximum amount of matching contributions participants can receive from their employer will also increase." [A table demonstrates the effect of the increase at various levels of matching contributions.]

"Now entering the second year under some of the law's key provisions, the reviews from small employers have been anything but uniform. Some say they can now afford plans for the first time, thanks to new government-run insurance exchanges ... Other small businesses haven't fared nearly as well. New coverage standards have resulted in some companies' plans being cancelled, while others say their premiums have skyrocketed as insurers conform to the new rules.... And there are more changes to come."
Individual Account Retirement Plans: An Analysis of the 2013 Survey of Consumer Finances
Employee Benefit Research Institute [EBRI]
"The percentage of all families with an employment-based retirement plan from a current employer decreased from 38.8 percent in 1992 to 36.2 percent in 2013 ... [T]he percentage of family heads who were eligible for [DC] plans and chose to participate held essentially stable at 78.2 percent in 2010 to 78.7 percent in 2013. The percentage of families owning [IRAs] or Keoghs was also unchanged from 2010 (28.0 percent) to 2013 (28.1 percent).... [T]he median (mid-point) account balance of those families owning an individual account retirement plan increased in 2013: The value was $22,992 in 1992, reached $38,608 in 2001, and increased to $59,000 in 2013."
Reforming Executive Compensation to Accelerate Change
HealthLeaders Media
"Adjusting executive compensation structures provides an opportunity for organizations to positively impact retention and decrease turnover. An overwhelming majority of executives surveyed ... identified the need for changes to executive compensation to attract, retain, and engage leaders. In fact, 33% of executives said the compensation structure in their organization needed major enhancements, while 49% said only minor enhancements were needed."
San Bernardino Will Not Cut Pensions, Restarts Skipped CalPERS Payments
"A court filing Monday officially revealed, after a mediator lifted a gag order, that under a deal announced in June San Bernardino has begun repaying skipped CalPERS payments ($13.5 million plus fees and interest) and will not cut pensions in bankruptcy. Stockton did not want to cut pensions, saying they are needed to be competitive in the job market. But a federal judge ruled in the Stockton case that CalPERS pensions can be cut in bankruptcy, where federal law prevails over state attempts to protect pensions."
Preparing Employees for Retirement is Growing Concern for Plan Sponsors
"Nearly 70 percent of the plan sponsors surveyed are thinking about making design changes to their plans -- almost twice as many in 2012.... Investment expertise remains important, with 67 percent of sponsors making investment menu changes in the past two years, up from 35 percent in 2012.... Fewer than 20 percent of plan sponsors surveyed said that their advisor was consistently communicating the activities they perform for the plan."
Indexed Universal Life Products Fill Growing Gap in Retirement Plans
"Unlike 401(k) products that some call a 'time bomb' with regard to tax rates when the time comes to draw down on the assets, [indexed universal life products (IULs)] offer the ability to take loans and withdrawals against the policy. Come time to retire, IULs produce steady cash flow. As nearly everybody knows by now, millions of Americans are going to be desperate for those cash flows in a few years."
So You Think You're Financially Prepared to Retire? Here Are Spreadsheet Tools to Test That Assumption
Ken Steiner, FSA Retired
"Generally [this author's focus] is to help individuals who are already retired establish an annual spending budget.... This post is aimed at individuals who are close to retirement but are unsure of whether they have sufficient financial assets to meet their needs throughout retirement.... [T]he first step ... is to determine your spending needs in retirement.... The second step ... is to determine your total expected income for a year from all sources ... This is where the spreadsheet tools available on this website come into play."
Amid Crackdown, Some Companies Rethink How to Sell Stock to ESOPs
The Wall Street Journal; subscription may be required
"Some business owners are rethinking how -- and on what terms -- they will sell their firms to employee stock ownership plans in the wake of a [DOL] crackdown on inflated valuations that could jeopardize worker savings.... In June the [DOL] reached a landmark $5.3 million settlement with GreatBanc Trust Co., a ... trustee for more than 200 such plans, including many for small businesses.... [T]he settlement led to tougher scrutiny of potential conflicts of interest on the part of valuation firms and trustees."

Using Defined Contribution Plans to Improve Retirement Readiness
Towers Watson
Infographic. "[M]any employers are still concerned their employees will not be ready to retire as planned. Employers can optimize their programs' effectiveness by measuring, monitoring and implementing changes based on how well the plan features help employees reach savings goals.... Automatic enrollment in DC plans is commonplace, but companies are missing opportunities to increase its value by adding automatic deferral increases....

GAO Report on Individual Retirement Accounts: IRS Could Bolster Enforcement on Multimillion Dollar Accounts, But More Direction from Congress Is Needed
U.S. Government Accountability Office [GAO]
"This report [1] describes IRA balances in terms of reported FMV aggregated by taxpayers; [2] examines how IRA balances can become large; and [3] assesses how IRS ensures that taxpayers comply with IRA tax laws.... Congress should consider revisiting its legislative vision for the use of IRAs. GAO makes five recommendations to IRS, including approving plans to fully compile and digitize new data on nonpublicly traded IRA assets and seeking to extend the statute of limitations for IRA noncompliance. IRS generally agreed with GAO's recommendations."

I am @AccuFrank on Twitter.
A storm now in Texas will lead to severe weather and soaking downpours across the South through tomorrow. We may have a Yankee Screamer storm to deal with by Wednesday, but much of the South will be quiet next week.
While a surge of warmth is coming, so is more cold air. With the warmth comes the risk for severe weather to parts of the South.
Today, I'm answering a few questions about my polar vortex post from Saturday.
I have various geeky comments about the dreaded polar vortex for you today.
Cooler air is moving in for the weekend. After a brief warmup early next week, some seriously cold air is heading south starting at midweek.
The Pacific storm Vance is pumping moisture into a slow-moving Texas front, leading to lots of rain. Vance may contribute to a storm near the East Coast this weekend as colder air charges south again.

MassDOT and Bay Circuit Alliance Partners today dedicated a new Bay Circuit Trail section during an event on Staples, Inc. property near the western end of the new trail.
An 11 acre triangular piece of wooded land traversed by rugged rock ledges abuts Interstate 90 in Ashland. In June 2009, The Bay Circuit Alliance negotiated a public access license for this property. Last summer volunteers laid out, constructed, and marked a trail that connects the existing Bay Circuit Trail on Staples property in Framingham with the I-90 Oak Street Bridge to Ashland. Now on MassDOT property, the new trail eliminates a long and potentially dangerous road walk along Route 9 and Oak Street. Refer to www. baycircuit.org on the web and view map#8 for trail details.
The Bay Circuit Trail is a 200-mile trail and greenway around Boston from Kingston Bay on the south to Plum Island on the north. Founded in 1990, the Bay Circuit Alliance (BCA) is a non-profit, organizational coalition that serves as a catalyst for making this trail a reality. The Sudbury Valley Trustees is a regional land trust that conserves land and protects wildlife habitat in the Concord, Assabet, and Sudbury river basin for the benefit of present and future generations.

Ted Baker Sweet Treats: Polly
I have to be honest and say that Ted Baker isn't a brand that really caught my eye – well, not since I was a teenager and all the hottest boys wore Ted Baker shirts…
But slowly but surely the beauty goodies have been sparking my attention again – one of the bits that caused that little spark is this 'Sweet Treat' little purse-sized fragrance called 'Polly'
I like it when a fragrance has a personality to go with it and I love the description of this one…it feels very me! Girly yet grown-up… a sweetheart with a wild streak!
It's very sweet, and whilst I don't hate sweet fragrances they usually aren't my fragrance of choice this one has a lovely soft dry-down that's still sweet, but softer and not intimidating. This has been a handbag addition for me as it's the perfect size for lugging around all day!
I have also spied that Ted Baker has some lovely nail colour duos now too… and I am a sucker for a nail colour!

I appreciate your reply, Sharon, and will fill you in on what I do know and what I don't know about my greatgrandfather, NICHOLAS ORIL GUSS. I have found information stating that he was born ABOUT 1846 in BAVARIA and died on August 4, 1921 in the Coast District of British Columbia, Canada. On July 14, 1867, he married EMILY (Emma) COOPER, daughter of JOHN JR. COOPER and SARAH OSBORNE. EMILY COOPER was born about 1850 in Jasper County, Indiana and died on May 20, 1918, in Prince George, British Columbia, Canada. EMILY COOPER's father, JOHN JR. COOPER, was born on September 2, 1812 in Guilford County, N.C. and died on March 25, 1887 in Barkley Twp, Jasper County, Indiana. His wife SARAH OSBORNE, whom he married on October 25, 1832, was born on September 14, 1810 in Kentucky and died on September 2, 1885 in Barkley Twp, Jasper County, Indiana. Now here is where I need some information and I don't know where to find it.
My own grandfather, also named NICHOLAS GUSS, was born in 1883 but I don't know where. I also do not know what siblings he had. He died in Drumheller, Alberta, Canada in 1928. He married LENA ENGSTROM but I do not know what the date was. I believe that they married in Duluth, Minnesota. She was born in 1885 and died in 1941 in Drumheller, Alberta. She may have been born in Sweden but I am not sure. If she was not born in Sweden, then her parents were. I would appreciate any help that you may be able to give me, Sharon, as to where and how I would find the information that I am missing. Once again, many thanks for your reply!

Jota: A Perfect Text Editor for Android
Productivity Sauce
Jota is probably the most feature-packed text editor for the Android platform, which makes it a perfect app for anyone writing for a living or just doing a lot of writing while on the move. For starters, Jota can handle large texts (up to one million characters according to its developer) and a wide range of encodings.
As a writer, you'll most certainly appreciate the word count feature, although you have to dig through Menu | File | Property to access it. Jota also sports an indispensable find and replace function which supports regular expressions for advanced search and replace operations. Other text editor essentials such as line numbering, undo/redo, auto-save are also present and accounted for. In addition to that, the app offers several creature comforts like the ability to save the cursor position and maintain a list of recent files. There is also a dedicated toolbar containing buttons for often-used functions like cut, paste, save, etc. This seemingly minor addition makes text editing much more efficient.
There are also a few handy features for the coders among us, including basic support for syntax highlighting and integration with the SL4A scripting environment.
The app also gives you a raft of options for customizing the text editor to your liking. Choose Menu | Preferences and you can tweak practically every aspect of the app: from font and view settings, to toolbar buttons and themes.

Dead Alive (1992) Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
Peter Jackson directed Dead Alive long before he started the great Lord of the Rings franchise and his current project The Hobbit. Imagine what Jackson could have done if he had Weta Digital around back then. This zombie flick has been banned across many countries and has to be one of the goriest films ever. One scene required five gallons of fake blood per second to pull off one of these living dead scenes in which made me even appalled.
Lionel, played by Timothy Balme is the by product of an overbearing mother and when Lionel finally gets a new girlfriend, all hell breaks lose. Mom becomes a flesh eating zombie of course and what follows is a zombie infestation that Lionel must slaughter every walking dead in his path making for an entertaining zombie massacre.
No official awards were won here but Peter Jackson made a classic if you can stomach watching this gory scary movie.
Best zombie kill scene: Lionel armed with his lawnmower crashed a zombie party held at his mothers' house. These zombies drink alcohol, make love or something like it and rock to loud music.
Synopsis:A young man's mother is bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey. She gets sick and dies, at which time she comes back to life, killing and eating dogs, nurses, friends, and neighbors.
