7.13 Firearms, Explosives, Combustible Fuels, Fireworks, and Dangerous Weapons
7.13 Firearms, Explosives, Combustible Fuels, Fireworks, and Dangerous Weapons
Possession and/or use on University property of firearms or ammunition, explosives, combustible fuels, firecrackers, and potential ingredients thereof are forbidden. Please take careful note of the following statute of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:
Whoever, not being a law enforcement officer, and notwithstanding any license obtained by him under the provisions of chapter one hundred and forty, carries on his person a firearm as hereinafter defined, loaded or unloaded, or other dangerous weapon in any building or on the grounds of any elementary or secondary school, college or university without the written authorization of the board or officer in charge of such elementary or secondary school, college or university shall be punished by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars or by imprisonment for not more than one year or both. For the purpose of this paragraph "firearm" shall mean any pistol, revolver, rifle or smoothbore arm from which a shot, bullet or pellet can be discharged by whatever means.
Any officer in charge of an elementary or secondary school, college or university or any faculty member or administrative officer of an elementary or secondary school, college or university failing to report violations of this paragraph shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and punished by a fine of not more than five hundred dollars.[Massachusetts General Laws, c.269 §10(j)]
In addition, Massachusetts law requires a permit or firearms identification card or compliance with other specialized rules (depending upon the type of weapon) for possession of any firearms. The definition of firearms is a broad one and includes pistols or guns operated by air, carbon dioxide, or other gases. Carrying any firearm (even if unloaded) in violation of the law is punishable by imprisonment with a mandatory minimum sentence of one year, which cannot be suspended or reduced. Students should consult the Boston Police if they intend to possess firearms on non-University property, in order to assure strict compliance with the applicable statutes.
According to Harvard's legal counsel, the definition of "dangerous weapon" includes items designed to do bodily injury, such as a stiletto, ballistic knife, blackjack, brass knuckles, billy stick, switchblade knife, and martial arts items such as throwing stars, kung fu sticks, and nunchaku (sticks connected by a rope, chain, wire, or leather).

UW's choice for president at home in many worlds
Michael Young, who is expected to be named the University of Washington's choice as new president on Monday, significantly raised the profile of his current institution since his arrival seven years ago.
Seattle Times staff reporters
Michael Young, expected to be named the University of Washington's choice as its new president Monday, significantly raised the profile of his current institution since his arrival seven years ago.
Under Young's leadership, the University of Utah led the nation in incubating new businesses, expanded international education, had a professor as co-winner of a Nobel Prize, and successfully made a bid to join the big-time Pac-12 athletic conference.
University and community leaders say Young is a brilliant and charismatic leader they would be sorry to lose, but they think he'd fit well as a Husky.
"He's a very erudite, yet down-to-earth academic who is very comfortable with all different kinds of people," said Jim Holtkamp, a longtime friend and adjunct law professor. "People will immediately connect with him."
UW officials have said the Board of Regents will announce Monday its choice to succeed former President Mark Emmert, who left last summer to take a job with the NCAA.
Citing the need for privacy to attract top candidates, they have been tight-lipped about who was under consideration. And the regents' selection, according to their agenda, is "conditional on the successful negotiation of an employment contract."
But sources familiar with the search, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Friday that Young is the regents' top choice.
While UW officials wouldn't say what attracted them to Young, many in Utah say it's difficult to overstate Young's academic credentials. He is an expert in international human rights, religious freedom and environmental law.
At Columbia University, he founded the Japanese and Korean law program, said Holtkamp, an interest that started when Young went on a Mormon mission to Japan.
He also worked at the State Department under President George H.W. Bush and reportedly advised George W. Bush in his 2000 presidential campaign.
As a professor and dean of the law school at George Washington University, he was so well-respected that when he left, the faculty raised money to renovate the faculty center — and named it after him.
Young expertly navigated cultural minefields. Even though Salt Lake is dominated by Democrats and the rest of the state is overwhelmingly Republican, "he quickly figured out how to create a dialogue with both the red and the blue sectors of Utah," said Craig Galli, a friend who first met him when he was a student at Columbia and Young was his professor.
It wasn't always easy. Among Young's first battles was a legislative fight over whether students and faculty should be allowed to carry weapons on what had been a gun-free campus. The battle is ongoing, but Young managed to fight the proposal vigorously without alienating lawmakers.
He also led a construction boom, kicking off a $1.2 billion capital campaign in 2008 that has transformed Utah's campus.
"I think right now we have a dozen buildings being constructed," said Chase Jardine, the University of Utah's student-body president. "I'm a fifth-year senior, and the campus doesn't even resemble the one I first came to."
Kim Wirthlin, formerly the university's liaison to the Legislature, said Young is gifted at building credibility.
"He worked to really position the university as a strong economic engine for the state," she said.
Young enticed more venture capitalists to bet on the university and its research. He also helped persuade lawmakers to keep investing in a program to selectively recruit senior research faculty from around the country to accelerate Utah's program to incubate businesses.
"He was key to strategy and to working with the business community to effectively get the Legislature on board," Wirthlin said.
When Young came to Utah, many hoped his Mormon faith would help him build better relations with the Utah state Legislature, where many of the lawmakers are Mormons.
He reportedly succeeded, though tensions with lawmakers have risen lately.
Utah's Legislature is dominated by rural conservatives, with the GOP holding supermajorities in both chambers. Before Young, the university's administration was seen by many as arrogant, elitist and dominated by a sense of entitlement, said state Rep. David Clark, former House speaker.
"My relationship with the university changed dramatically when the president came in," Clark said. "How did he pull that off? By being Michael Young.
"He was refreshing," Clark said. "He has this reservoir of experience and knowledge that he shares in a straightforward and engaging way that's just not aloof. He's very endearing, actually."
In fact, Young has a reputation for tolerance and promoting diversity, and has thrived everywhere from New York to Washington, D.C., and internationally.
"He's not nearly as conservative as our culture," said James Macfarlane, a Salt Lake City businessman and chairman of the University of Utah board of trustees when Young was hired. He may be a practicing Mormon, but he's also "his own guy," Macfarlane said.
DeeDee Corradini, a former Salt Lake City mayor, said that "what he's done for the reputation of the university is so outstanding."
She cited the business startups, and the fact that Utah ranked ahead of MIT.
"It's a point of civic pride here," she said.
In March, Inc. magazine ranked Utah first in the nation, beating second-place MIT for the number of startups launched in 2009 based on faculty research.
"In the last 24 months, we've had something like 79 companies that have gone from research venture to companies," said Lane Beattie, president and CEO of Salt Lake Chamber. "Michael Young has literally been the catalyst."
Nor has there been much blowback from the open secret that Young was being courted by the UW.
"I don't think anyone begrudged him that," said H.E. "Bud" Scruggs, former chief of staff to Utah Gov. Norm Bangerter.
Seattle Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Mike Carter contributed to this report.

Philips exits shrinking home entertainment business
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Philips Electronics(PHG.AS) is selling its audio and video business to Japan's Funai Electric Co in a deal that almost completes its exit from consumer electronics to focus on more profitable home appliances and healthcare areas.
For many years, the Dutch company was a familiar household name in Europe thanks to its high-quality goods such as television sets, cassettes and CD players.
But it has struggled to compete with lower-cost Asian manufacturers, including Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, and has had to cut costs and sell assets over the last two years.
Philips had already hived off its ailing television business by setting up a joint venture with Hong Kong-based TPV (0903.HK) last year.
Now the sale of its audio and video operations for 150 million euros plus licence fees to Funai Electric takes the rest of the electronics out of the Philips name, apart from a small remote-control business.
With more consumers going online for music, films and games rather than buying CDs and DVDs, Philips decided to get out of home entertainment even though it was profitable last year, Chief Executive Frans van Houten said on Tuesday, adding that the business was shrinking and "margin dilutive".
"This completes the repositioning away from consumer electronics," van Houten told Reuters Insider.
Reuters Insider interview: r.reuters.com/muv55t
In future, the consumer division will focus on appliances such as shavers and electric toothbrushes - two of the group's most profitable products - as well as toasters, juicers and coffee makers. It sold 10 million shavers in China alone last year, van Houten said.
As well as making consumer goods, Philips is the world's biggest lighting maker and a top-three maker of hospital equipment.
Its shares rose 2 percent to 22.37 euros, the highest level since April 2011 when van Houten became CEO with a brief to revive the company hit weak economic growth, fragile consumer spending and government budget cuts in several markets.
Van Houten said that of the hundreds of businesses and markets that have been under scrutiny since he took over, roughly one third still need to perform better, while two-thirds are doing well.
Fourth-quarter results released earlier on Tuesday showed that underlying profit improved significantly after job cuts, disposals and a focus on core businesses.
Philips reported three consecutive quarters of better-than-expected net profit in 2012, suggesting it had at last turned the corner.
According to equity analysis firm StarMine, Philips trades at a forward 12-month price/earnings ratio of 14.4, compared with 12.5 for Siemens (SIEGn.DE) and 13.4 for General Electric (GE.N).
But on a price-to-book ratio, it is slightly cheaper than its rivals, at 1.7, against 2.1 for Siemens and 1.8 for GE.
Analysts welcomed the Funai Electric deal as "an important divestment" that could fan hopes of further disposals in the consumer portfolio.
Van Houten dismissed talk of any major acquisitions, saying the firm was only interested in bolt-on deals at the moment.
Philips reported a fourth-quarter net loss of 355 million euros - widening from a year-ago loss of 160 million euros - as it cited previously flagged provisions and charges.
The group had already warned last month that it would take a provision of 509 million euros to cover a European Union fine for cartel practices in its television business, and that restructuring charges would be higher than previously estimated.
Adjusted quarterly earnings before interest, tax and amortisation (EBITA) was 875 million euros - up almost 50 percent from a year ago and the best quarter in the past two years. Sales rose 3 percent to 7.161 billion euros.
Analysts in a Reuters poll had forecast adjusted EBITA of 847 million euros, a net loss of 308 million euros and sales of 7.161 billion euros.
Sales and profits rose at the healthcare division, which sells home oxygen kits, hospital scanners and ultrasound systems, and at the consumer business.
Excluding restructuring and acquisition charges, EBITA for the lighting business - which has been hit by a slowdown in the construction market - also rose from a year ago.
Philips said it was on track to achieve its end-2013 targets of sales growth of between 4 and 6 percent, a margin on EBITA of 10 to 12 percent and a return on invested capital of 12 to 14 percent.

We could not have picked a more peaceful and comfortable place to stay on MDI. The house is spacious and nicely furnished, and the views are absolutely inspiring. It is completely out of the way of the Bar Harbor and Acadia crowds yet within a short drive. The owners are accessable but unintrusive and were a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

Did AHS change the recipe or just the name. Did they run out of Jade hops??
I have AHS Pacific Jade Pale Ale and just noticed all the recipes have deleted the Jade part.
Plus - it is no longer a seasonal.
OR - did Jade just suck! So they canned the recipe.
Grinders Island Brewery - Pipeline
Bottled! Award winning East India Porter, Oatmeal Stout, Milk Stout, Saison fermenting at a nice controlled 85 degrees (up from 70) as it should be - weird isn't it.
Well - to answer my own question Pacific Jade hops does NOT suck but is wonderful. I contacted AHS and they said it was a limited supply and I feel very lucky to have tried this hops.
I made a Pale Ale and while it is ONLY 5 weeks from Brew Date and only 2 weeks carbonation I had to try a bottle to see what I could look forward too.
I tell ya I am really looking forward to this maturing as it was wonderful already. The placebo effect took hold as I felt I was in the Caribbean. It's a very soft citrusy flavor that melded perfectly with the malt.
This will be a great beer at 40 degrees (I tasted it at about 45) on a hot summer day.

A Tasty Bit Of Old School For The New School Against the backdrop of fervent hand-wringing from brand purists, BMW is on the cusp of finally offering front-wheel-drive vehicles.

That may be true, but there's an even more important lesson that Mini has taught the decision-makers in Munich: how to make real money on small cars.

BWW Reviews: REX'S EXES and the Sequel Syndrome
by Jeff Davis - Oct 10, 2014
Ask anyone you meet and they're bound to tell you that, with the possible exception of The Godfather Part II, sequels aren't as good as the original. That seems to be the case with Rex's Exes, now playing at Sam Bass Theatre. For three years in a row now, Sam Bass has opened their season a slapstick, Texas-themed comedy of errors by the writing team of Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten. This year's offering is a sequel to last year's Red Velvet Cake War, and while the performers at Sam Bass give it their all, it seems that Jones, Hope, and Wooten are on auto-pilot, recycling jokes and plot points that we've now seen for three years running.

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — The head of a Hattiesburg children's home says five "Duck Dynasty" stars helped raise $280,000 to $300,000 for Homes of Hope for Children.
Michael Garrett says officials are still tallying proceeds from the fundraiser Saturday night at the Forrest County Multi Purpose Center.
People and companies paid $30 to $1,000 per ticket to see members of the big clan from Monroe, La., featured on the A&E reality show.
The most expensive tickets included a photograph with all five — Marsha Kay Robertson, her son and daughter-in-law Willie and Korie Robertson, and their oldest children, John Luke and Sadie.
Garrett says the Robertsons also spent time with the home's 14 residents — and at the end of the show, Willie called one boy over and gave him his bandanna.

After a long day of hiking, we came back and had our dinner hear with some pasta, pizza and good wine. The food was tasty and the service was great.
Very good pizzas, also saw they have some amazing cakes. Good service. They offer also their own artesanal bier.
Had a quick lunch - great to find that they have thin, crunchy crusty (a rarity in Argentina). Great view of FitzRoy - go on a sunny day. Also, good artisanal beers (in bottles)
Gracias por tu alentadora opinion y por apreciar la vista que tiene nuestro restaurant!

Patagonicus was lovely. Good pizza, great pumpkin soup. We ate there twice in our 3 day stay -- need I say more?
As you'd expect, we went for the pizza (twice). Great. Also a good, busy vibe and nice place to have a couple beer.
I had the pizza there, it was wonderful! Totally worth it. The pizza is thin but still filling. It has all of the typical Argentinian pizza you would want.
Not only their pizza is best in town, they also understand how to provide a service to the guests filling every possible with.

Easy to find, good for the pricePosted 29-Jul-2014
Pros: The price and how easy it was to get to from I-35.
Cons: The toilet wasn't working. They tried to fix it while we were out, but it didn't seem to work.
Location: I went here for an event at the mall. The mall is dwindling, but the people that remained there were happy to see us and I hope they see some business
The staff welcomed us late at night. There was an issue with our booking, but they gave us another room right away. The breakfast was very small but a nice gesture.

Bad experiencePosted 28-Jul-2014 on Hotels.com
Our experience was so bad we did not stay the second night we had booked. We requested and were confirmed for a room with two beds, but they did not have one when we showed up. We were traveling with our grown daughter and my wife has sleep apnea and equipment to assist her breathing at night. They agreed to put us in their "suite" which was a room with a foldout couch stuffed into it. Our experience with foldouts is so bad we requested a rollaway bed for our daughter, but the one they brought had a mattress with stains and holes through to the foam. The room was shabby and particles on the floor indicated it had not been thoroughly vacuumed. The bathroom had a pocket door because the room was so small, but the door stuck so it was very difficult to close the bathroom door. We were so tired we stayed the first night, but left the next morning. The desk clerk told us he couldn't give us a receipt and there was no manager on site.

Rob Zombie Bringing 'Great American Nightmare' to Arizona in 2014
Rob Zombie is relocating his 'Great American Nightmare' festival to Arizona for 2014.
Rob Zombie is relocating his 'Great American Nightmare' festival to Arizona for 2014.
The festival's inaugural year promises whisky, bourbon and "gourmet man food" along with massive acts such as Judas Priest, Korn and Kid Rock.
James Hetfield's involvement in a History Channel hunting series has led to a group calling for Metallica's removal from the Glastonbury Festival.
Members of Chevelle, Kyng, Hellyeah, Theory of a Deadman and many more bands reflect on the 2014 Welcome to Rockville festival in this video recap.
Louisville will play host to the first annual Louder the Life festival, an event celebrating rock music and the local cuisine and bourbon of the region.
The lineup has just been announced for one of the year's most anticipated rock festivals. The Monster Energy Aftershock 2014 fest takes place Sept. 13-14 at Discovery Park in Sacramento, Calif., and features a who's who of hard rock, alt-rock and metal bands.
Rise Against, Imagine Dragons and Kings of Leon are among the bands highlighting the 2014 Made in America festivals.
Most of the lineup has been announced for this year's annual Dirt Fest. The event will be held Saturday, Aug. 9, at Birch Run Expo Center in Birch Run, Mich., and Killswitch Engage will headline (watch Banana 101.5's announcement video above).
Following the recent announcement of the Toronto lineup, the organizers of Riot Fest have now unveiled the list of bands performing at the Chicago and Denver editions of the festivals, as well. While there are a great deal of alt-rock acts, there are a number of heavy hitters on the bills.
Rocking for a cause is something Seether know a lot about. Their Rise Above Fest was born in 2012 and made its triumphant return to New England again this year on May 10 at the Darling's Waterfront Pavilion in Bangor, Maine. The festival, the brainchild of Seether frontman Shaun Morgan, aims to raise funding and more importantly, awareness about suicide-- something that Morgan has a deeply personal connection with after the loss of his brother Eugene in 2007.

The $5 billion Indiana State Teachers' Retirement Fund is currently reviewing p.e. fund of funds candidates for a $250 million allocation, according to chief investment officer Bob Newland. The fund, which issued a request for proposal in November, won't reach a final decision until the end of February.
Newland said the fund has been invested in private equity for five years and wants to expand its allocation to the alternative asset class. "As part of that expansion, we may add another manager," Newland said.
The fund is currently invested with Darien, Conn.-based Portfolio Advisors, a separate account investment advisory services firm on both a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. "They set up our program for us and invest on our behalf in various partnerships, but it's not a fund of funds where we give them money and they distribute it according to their discretion. We currently have $338 million committed but have net investments of about $160 million," Newland said.
The fund also allocates to hedge fund strategies such as Pimco StocksPLUS, which is an absolute return strategy, but has no allocation to traditional fund of hedge funds managers, according to Newland, who said, "we're looking into that."

NCSL's election experts break down the midterm state legislative elections along voters' verdict on statewide ballot measures.
Current Issue
Regulations & Decisions Define Roles for Employers of 50+ Employees
Over the past decade or more, state and federal laws generally require that health coverage providers accept small employers applying for coverage. With groups such as small businesses, the insurer has determined a premium price based on risk factors balanced over the entire group, using general information on members of the group, such as age or gender. Small businesses often pay more for employee health benefits because they don't have the buying power of big employers. On average, small businesses paid about 18 percent more than large firms for the same health insurance policy. Health coverage providers may charge different premiums to small employers based on the industry of the employer or on the employer's prior health claims. As both workers and small employers feel the financial squeeze, fewer are able to afford to offer, or purchase, health insurance coverage. States most often review or approve policies that are offered directly to consumers or to small employers. Most states have had laws that require state-licensed health insuring organizations to provide coverage to small employers that want it, with some limitation on the rates that can be charged (e.g.., restrictions on how premiums can vary based on age and health status).
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148) assists and affects small business in a number of ways. Beginning in 2014, small businesses are able to participate in small business health options programs or SHOP exchanges. These programs include new state-based health insurance purchasing pools or CO-OPs (in about one-half of the states) where small businesses are able to pool together to buy insurance. Small businesses are defined as those that have no more than 100 employees. States have the option of limiting pools to companies with 50 or fewer employees through 2016. Companies that are currently defined as small businesses and grow beyond the size limit will be "grandfathered in" and treated like those still within the 100 or 50 maximum. The purchasing pools are intended to lower the costs of insurance. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), exchanges are estimated to ease small business insurance costs. They forecast that premiums in the small group market will fall between 1 percent and 4 percent. The amount of coverage in the small group market is expected to rise by 3 percent.
Small Business Health Care Tax Credit for Small Employers The law also assists small businesses and small tax-exempt organizations afford the cost of covering their employees' health insurance. If a small business has fewer than 25 employees and provides health insurance it may qualify for a small business tax credit of up to 35 percent (up to 25 percent for non-profits) to offset the cost of insurance, starting with the 2010 federal tax year. This will make the cost of providing insurance significantly lower. Starting in 2014, the small business tax credit goes up to 50 percent (up to 35 percent for non-profits) for qualifying businesses.
Small Business Exchanges have a framework set by federal rules, including options for how employers can provide contributions toward employee coverage that meet standards for small business tax credits. SHOP Exchanges are designed to serve as a marketplace for small employers' with one to 100 workers, or up to 50 workers if a state chooses that approach. Small employers with less than 50 full-time equivalent employees are not required to offer health coverage.
On Nov. 27, 2013 the Obama Administration announced another delay for the small businesses option to buy group insurance online for employees through the marketplaces run by the federal government in 36 states. This feature would be in place one year later, in November 2014 for coverage in 2015. Small employers can still use paper applications to buy through a federal marketplace for 2014, likely using an insurance broker. The 14 state-run exchanges can continue to use online tools to sign up small employers through SHOP. The new HHS guidance for SHOP as of late November: "You enroll in SHOP coverage directly through an agent, broker, or insurance company. Work with an agent, broker or insurance company to help you apply for SHOP eligibility and find and compare available SHOP plans. Individuals can also use the HHS premium estimation tool on HealthCare.gov to browse and compare plans and pricing information." More below.
The Obama Administration announced. that the ACA statutory requirement that large employers (now applied to those with 100 or more full-time equivalent employees) will have to offer health insurance or coverage, a one year date change from the original Jan. 1, 2014, now to Jan. 1, 2015. This change was announced July 2, 2013, and modified in February 2014, described below.
Employers with 50-99 workers given until 2016 to offer coverage. On Feb. 10, 2014, the Treasury Department extended by one additional year the requirement that employers with between 50-99 workers meet the mandate to offer health insurance, a category that includes about seven percent of the private workforce. The new rules also will require 70 percent of workers to be covered in that first year. Read the Treasury fact sheet here [2 pp.] and final rule here [227 pp.].
How the policy affects employers:
The So-Called "Cadillac Tax" on Employers with High-Cost Plans (2018 and beyond) -NEW-
Excerpt from Health Leaders magazine, October 13, 2014
The tax on high-cost health plans, which are often referred to as Cadillac plans, is expected to impact a considerable share of the plans provided by healthcare organizations for their own employees, as much as 39% by 2020. The implications are significant because the excess-benefits tax requires the employer to pay 40% on the value of the portion of the plan that exceeds thresholds set by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Employers also need to consider that the tax is measured as a direct function of plan cost, and not actuarial plan value, and that a number of factors can drive excise-tax exposure. Read More:

> "Fact File" and graphs, by Truven Health Analytics; 2 pp PDF]
A January 2014 study examines what can happen when companies looking to save health costs in 2014 require working spouses to get health insurance through their own employer. Authors find the move has some unexpected consequences, according to a new study by the nonpartisan Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI).
The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requires that employers with 50 or more workers provide health coverage to workers and dependent children until they reach age 26. It does not, however, require employers to provide health coverage to spouses, whether or not they are eligible for other health insurance. In 2011, primary health insurance policyholders spent an average of $5,430 on health care services, compared with $6,609 for spouses. This can make them a target for employers looking to control their health benefit costs. [Full report online, 7 pp., PDF]

"Why liberals are abandoning the Obamacare employer mandate" - article by Politico Pro, 7/15/2014
More and more liberal activists and policy experts who help shape Democratic thinking on health care have concluded that penalizing businesses if they don't offer health insurance is an unnecessary element of the Affordable Care Act that may do more harm than good. Among them are experts at the Urban Institute and the Commonwealth Fund and prominent academics like legal scholar Tim Jost.
Implementing Health Reform: A One-Year Employer Mandate Delay - Health Affairs blog by Professor Tim Jost, 7/3/2013.
Exemptions from the Individual Mandate to have health insurance - Cited from U.S. Treasury Department, updated 6/23/2013.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued new guidance on May 10, 2013 in the form of frequently-asked questions (FAQs) addressing Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP)-Only Marketplaces. The first question asked addresses whether a state may operate a SHOP while the individual market Marketplace is operated as a Federally-facilitated Marketplace (FFM)? The guidance states that it is CMS' intention to propose through rule that, for 2014, a state that submitted a Blueprint to operate a state-based marketplace and received conditional approval may request to operate a state-based SHOP while the individual market Marketplace is operated as an FFM. All states would have the same option starting in 2015. This new approach was initiated by Utah, which sought such approval early in 2013.
This one page document also addresses the requirements for beginning operation in 2014 as opposed to 2015, and whether a State-based SHOP will be required to operate a Navigator program for the SHOP, and how requirements for a SHOP-only Navigator program may differ.
On June 14, 2013, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a proposed rule outlining program integrity guidelines for the Health Insurance Marketplace (Marketplace) and premium stabilization programs. The policies offer clarity on oversight of various premium stabilization and affordability programs, build on state options regarding the Small Business Health Options Program, and provide technical clarifications. The HHS fact sheet is online here.
Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP): Some Features Delayed Until 2015
On March 11, 2013 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a new final rule that delays employee choice and premium aggregation in the federally-facilitated Small Business Health Options Program (FF-SHOP) from January 1, 2014 until at least January 1, 2015. The delay in premium aggregation will prevent employers from sending/receiving a single monthly payment/bill that is the sum total of all the premiums of his/her employees. The one-year delay applies to the states where health insurance exchanges will be run by the federal government. The states and D.C. that are building their own exchanges may continue to offer employee choice and premium aggregation in their state run SHOP exchanges beginning on or after January 1, 2014.
On May 27, 2014, a final rule "taking the next step" in implementing "employee choice" in the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) was published by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). "Employee choice" provides employers the opportunity to allow employees to choose any health plan at the actuarial value, or "metal," level selected by the employer. State Insurance Commissioners were given an opportunity to submit a written recommendation to the SHOP that employee choice not be implemented in that state in 2015 if the State Insurance Commissioner concluded that not implementing employee choice would be in the best interest of small group market consumers in his or her state.
An HHS table provides a tally: in total, 18 states with a Federally-facilitated SHOP will allow for this transition relief in 2015. The remaining 14 states with a Federally-facilitated SHOP will join most State-based SHOPs and have employee choice available to small businesses in 2015. In 2015, nearly two-thirds of Americans will live in states where small business workers can choose a health plan rather than have their employer do it for them.
States can choose to enact stronger consumer protections than these minimum standards for rating and selected other consumer protections. Starting in 2017, states have the option of allowing health insurance issuers that offer coverage in the large group market to offer such coverage through the ACA Marketplace. For states that choose this option, these rating rules also will apply to all large group health insurance coverage. These rules standardize how health insurance issuers can price products, bringing a new level of transparency and fairness to premium pricing. (Source: CCIIO/CMS Fact Sheet, February 2013)

Source: Treasury Department - Questions and Answers on the Individual Shared Responsibility Provision - Updated Mar. 25, 2014.
Small Group Market: In the small group market, analysis of the information from 35 states indicates that the implemented rate increases are approximately 19 percent lower than the rates originally requested by insurance companies.[6] This difference equates to approximately $866 million in savings to consumers based on 2012 small group market premium data. For the 35 states, 18.7 percent of total covered lives had rate requests reduced or denied. Extrapolating to the total number of 18.1 million covered lives in the small group market, an estimated 3.4 million individuals had rate requests reduced or denied.
As with the individual market data, the small group premium data are based on MLR data from 50 states and the District of Columbia,[7] whereas the average difference between rate changes requested and rate changes implemented is taken from ASPE's analysis of 35 states in the small group market using RRG data and data from Florida, a non-grant state. Again, the results were extrapolated to approximate a national savings total for the small group market as a result of rate review.

State Subsidized Enrollment: Results Are Mixed
In the summer of 2007, NCSL compiled an informal survey summary of actual numbers of residents who enrolled in state initiated small-business programs. Enrollment experience is different state-to-state. Historically, employer participation in government created subsidized programs has not been extensive. States have had more success with enrolling individuals at the employee level and not going through the employer. Participation is also very much related to outreach and marketing. For more information collected by NCSL's Primary Care Project, please visit State Programs to Subsidize or Reduce the Cost of Health Insurance for Small Businesses.

Two weeks after he locked the final cut of Netflix's Arrested Development revival, show creator Mitch Hurwitz is catching up on TV, traveling to New York and checking social media to gauge the reaction to the fruits of two years of labor. "Right now my hope is that the people who are interested in the Bluth family give the show a try," he says of the new episodes, which each focus on a different character yet are intertwined.
The 15 Arrested episodes were released simultaneously on May 26. Fan reaction has been decent, but critics were mixed, with some of those negative reviews reportedly hurting Netflix's stock price (although anticipation for the show previously helped boost the streaming service's stock).
Hurwitz tweeted on May 28 that critics were "resisting change." But in a lengthy chat last week with TV Guide Magazine, he clarified what he meant, and also discussed his future plans for the show. Hurwitz even addressed Internet chatter about star Portia de Rossi's appearance. An edited transcript follows.

Hartzell Propeller Inc. gave
Aero-News a heads up on the news it has received FAA certification
for its new ASC-II second-generation Advanced Structural Composite
propeller system. Hartzell says the ASC-II is the first FAA
certified advanced structural composite propeller developed
specifically for the general aviation market.
The ASC-II is billed as the result of the company's nearly 30
year experience in the design and manufacture of advanced
structural composite propellers. Hartzell calls the ASC-II an
'optimized' design, mated to a proprietary, Hartzell-developed
manufacturing process.
The result is an advanced structural composite propeller that
delivers all of the advantages provided by Hartzell's first
generation of composite propellers -- low weight, low inertia, and
low life cycle costs -- while minimizing the major disadvantage:
the high cost manufacturing process.
The Hartzell ASC-II consists of a composite monocoque structure
composed of carbon/Kevlar laminate, integrated into a co-molded
stainless steel shank. The outboard half of the leading edge is
protected with a co-molded electroformed nickel erosion
shield. Aluminum mesh is embedded into the laminate for
lightning protection.
Hartzell says the new design offers numerous benefits to
aircraft owners, including:
Hartzell also states a major launch customer for the first
Hartzell ASC-II propeller model will be announced at EAA AirVenture
Oshkosh 2006.
