A Plainview resident, Amy passed away in August, 2007, and shortly thereafter, her husband Lloyd, children Matthew and Alyssa, as well as friends and community members established The Amy Cooper Memorial Fund at the JCC. After two successful community fundraising events — a soccer tournament and concert — sufficient funds were raised for a substantial renovation of the Teen Lounge including new paint, two new flat screen TVs, new gaming tables, two new PCs, a new MAC and printer, new furniture, new video gaming systems, refurbished pool table, lighting and electrical work. Monies raised have also been allocated for a new GaGa pit as well as more than $5,000 in scholarships, enabling the JCC to provide financial support to families who cannot afford to send their children to camp, nursery school and after-school programs.

FSG LAWYERS: Represented Brixton in recent transaction with Altamont Capital.
Details on Industry Insight.
One of the industry's biggest retail customers, Tilly's, filed to go public this morning.
Tilly's, founded by Hezy Shaked and Tilly Levine in 1982, operated 126 stores in 11 states as of April 30.
The company has been on a major expansion streak, more than doubling its size in the past five years, according to the filing.
The company invested $20 million during that time to upgrade its distribution center and information systems and thinks it can grow to more than 500 stores with little additional capital investments.
Tilly's mainly uses cash from existing operations to open new stores, and it has no borrowings against its $15 million credit line with Wells Fargo.
New stores typically generate $2.2 million in net sales in their first year.
Tilly's average store size is 7,800 square feet.
Here are some more details about Tilly's business:
Net sales: $332.6 million, up 17.6% from 2009
Same store sales: up 17.6%
Operating income: $24.9 million, up 16.4%
Net income: $24.4 million, up 17%
Gross margin: 30.9%
Ecommerce sales: up 46% from prior year to $32.8 million, accounting for 10% of total net sales.
Average net sales per square foot: $326
Cash and equivalents (at fiscal year end): $29.3 million
Long term debt: $5.2 million (a capital lease on corporate headquarters and distribution center)
Percentage of sales from third party brands: 70%
2011: 13 new stores
2012: 20 new stores
After that: grow 15% each year
Net sales: up 29%, to $83.1 million
Operating income: 178 to $5.0 million
Same stores sales: up 18.2%
Seth Johnson, who briefly served as CEO of PacSun and also spent several years at Abercrombie & Fitch as COO, is on Tilly's board of directors.

I adore this brush!! I was at the drugstore when I noticed Eco Tools. The SA mentioned how soft the brush is and when you wash it, it would go back to its original shape.
I've had this brush for almost three years and bristles are still soft after multuple washes and hasn't lost its shape.
I would def. recommend this brush!

I find this brush fluffy and very soft. It's perfect for finishing powder, as it provides sheer coverage and distributes product evenly. It also washes well, maintains its shape, and dries quickly.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
First off, I absolutely love how Ecotools is vegan. That's the reason I bought this. I love how soft the bristles are, but I have found that this brush is too soft to pick up much powder at all. I will try their other brushes, but this powder brush really doesn't get used because it just isn't that good in my opinion.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Probably the best powder brush that I have used. This is so soft and does not cause any irritation on my skin. I constantly get little bumps even after washing and applying alcohol to my brushes but with this, my skin looks totally flawless. I use this for my bronzer and the application is just perfect. Highly recommended.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Word's can't even describe how great this brush is. I have never in my life had a powder brush like this.
It is soft, takes up a good amount of powder, spreads powder evenly and gently... good handle size. Just amazing!
It's a little expensive but well worth the price. I just bought myself one of those fancy MAC powder brushes (the one that is two colours... geez can't remember the name!) I used it once, and it put in my drawer... probably never going to use it again. It is not as good as this powder brush.
The quality is impeccable - I have had this brush for 2+ years and it hasnt not shown even the slightest signs of wear and tear. I love how it is eco friendly. The packaging is wonderful and you can pit other brushes in.
I will buy again and as long as Ecotools exist I will only buy their brushes! Their whole line is A++!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm loving this!!! For the price, it's excellent. The hair/bristle don't fall out (unlike the ELF brush), soft, and good quality. Must have.
It's soft... and that's about it. It's too loose and floppy to put on powder. I'd rather save that money and put it towards a denser, softer brush from MAC.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
So soft. So good. And versatile!
I love this brush. It is one of the first brushes I've ever owned and I don't think I will ever buy another powder brush. And if I do, I am definitely repurchasing this. I just wish that there was a travel size because I do travel a lot and need touch ups every few hours or so. Despite that, this brush is awesome. It doesn't shed when I wash it and it carries the perfect amount of product.
I use it for my MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in C6, Rimmel Bronzer, and sometimes my Maybelline Loose Powder Foundation.
This is a very good brush especially for the price. The bristles are very soft. The size and fluufy-ness of the brush is perfect for applying setting powder in a light layer. It is a flatter brush. For a rounder fuller brush try the Sonia Kashuk pink powder brush
I've owned this brush for a few days and so far love it. The bristles are soft and not scratchy. I use this to apply my MAC Blot Powder in the pressed form. I plan on it trying it with some loose powders as well. I payed around $7.99 Canadian at Walmart. I like this much better than my Quo powder brush which I find scratchy. Can't beat the price of these brushes!

Saudi Arabia, much like Israel, wants Iran to relinquish its uranium enrichment capabilities or at least cap enrichment at 5 percent – far below weapons grade, or 90 percent. But the United States and the other five major world powers negotiating with Iran may be open to allowing Tehran to keep limited enrichment capabilities.

I have just been down this same road
Posted by: castoff on Jan-28-13 4:04 PM (EST)
Or should I say stream. I have a foxworx standard bent for my wife, and a foxworx FFG which is a bit bigger blade for me. I feel the standard blade is a bit small for me, but a very nice paddle. However, if you are doing most of the paddling from the stern. I would go with a straight shaft with an 8" wide blade as you will find you have more control in the stern with it than with a bent.

WSJ's Real Time Economics
While explaining why deficits have fallen from their historically large peak in 2009, we noted the main source of this tumble is a 43 percent rise in revenue. This increase came largely from the recovering economy, but also from legislated tax increases and the expiration of some temporary tax provisions. However, those provisions may be coming back soon and lead to a significantly greater increase in the deficit next year than projected under current law.
As CBO pointed out, the expiration of bonus depreciation played a large part in revenue increase:
Taxable profits were boosted in large part by the expiration at the end of December 2013 of various tax provisions, most significantly the rules that allowed firms with large amounts of investment to expense—that is, immediately deduct from taxable income—50 percent of their investment in equipment.
Taxable profits were boosted in large part by the expiration at the end of December 2013 of various tax provisions, most significantly the rules that allowed firms with large amounts of investment to expense—that is, immediately deduct from taxable income—50 percent of their investment in equipment.
In our paper analyzing the Fiscal Year 2014 budget results, we pointed out that the decrease in the deficit was a temporary phenomenon and deficits would start increasing again after next year. If Congress were to extend expired tax breaks, it would both magnify the decline in the deficit in 2014 and prevent the deficit from declining in 2015.
Since the 2014 fiscal year is over and these tax extenders have not been extended yet, the 2014 deficit would not change even if the provisions are made retroactive to the beginning of the year as planned. The revenue loss from the 2014 tax cuts will show up in 2015 when companies and individuals file their taxes for 2014 and have lower tax payments or receive refunds as a result of the retroactively extended tax breaks. The same thing happened with bonus depreciation in FY 2010, when it registered very little cost because it was not extended until near the end of the fiscal year. In either case, the federal government loses the full amount of revenue from the tax break, but in the following year.
With the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) year-end Monthly Budget Review having been released, we published a report today showing what the 2014 totals mean for the budget. The FY 2014 budget deficit totaled $486 billion, according to CBO's estimates (official numbers will come from the Treasury Department on Friday). Although this is nearly 30 percent below the FY 2013 deficit and two-thirds below the 2009 peak, the country remains on an unsustainable fiscal path.
With today's release of the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO) final Monthly Budget Review for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014, many will be focused on the final 2014 deficit, but it also shows that Medicare clocked its fourth-lowest annual growth rate in history, at just 2.7 percent.
We have been closely following the unusually slow growth of Medicare throughout this year, and also documenting the program's "underlying" growth rate, or what growth would be with temporary or phased-in legislative cuts removed from the calculation*. Dechipering this underlying growth rate should provide a truer picture of the magnitude of Medicare's cost slowdown.
Interestingly (though not surprisingly), the three years with slower growth than this year -- 1998, 1999, and 2013 -- coincided with similar temporary or phased-in cuts.
For 2014, Medicare's underlying growth rate ended up at 4.9 percent, roughly one percentage point faster than both economic and beneficiary growth. Therefore, even removing these temporary effects, Medicare still grew slower than general inflation on a per beneficiary basis.
It is no secret that the 113th Congress has had little success reaching agreement on major policy changes, so its lackluster results on a report card from The National Coalition on Health Care (NCHC), grading lawmakers in the health care arena, should come as little surprise.
NCHC even graded on a curve by looking only at three areas where it initially saw promising prospects for bipartisan cooperation: modernizing physician payments/repealing the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula, increasing price and quality transparency, and strengthening Medicare by making it more efficient. NCHC handed out a D+ for strengthening Medicare, failed Congress on transparency, and gave it an incomplete on SGR repeal and physician payment reform, subject to revision based on what happens in the lame duck session after the November elections.
SGR Repeal/Physician Payment Reform
Arguably the area with the most immediate prospects for action is permanent SGR repeal and replacement. As we discussed a few weeks ago, some lawmakers are targeting the lame duck session to repeal the SGR in order to capitalize on the progress they've made during this congressional session, even though the current "doc fix" does not expire until April. There is a bipartisan framework to replace the SGR with a system to encourage physicians to participate in alternative payment models, moving Medicare away from fee-for-service reimbursement. However, lawmakers have not agreed on offsets for the bill, which could cost between $150 billion and $200 billion over ten years. The partisan bills that saw the light of day were not encouraging.
NCHC gave lawmakers an incomplete on this category but said it would give them an F if there was no further action. We also will give them an F if they pass a permanent doc fix without legitimate offsets.
Quality and Price Transparency
The national debt is currently twice the historical average, and will grow unsustainably until Congress makes responsible changes. Voters should be able to know how their candidates would take on this challenge. The Concord Coalition has published a list of helpful questions to help voters engage with candidates and learn their stances on these important issues.
As Concord explains:
Voters should expect candidates for federal office this fall to explain how they intend to deal with the huge challenges ahead. These include some problems that must be addressed in the very near future.
This is no time for vague rhetoric and petty partisan jabs; voters should insist on credible solutions -- the more specific, the better. Some of those solutions won't be easy because the problems go far beyond the "waste, fraud and abuse" we hear about so frequently in campaign speeches.

In an op-ed in the Washington Post yesterday, editor Fred Hiatt pushed back on assertions by the Obama Administration that they have won over the deficit. Hiatt highlights a tweet by adviser John Podesta comparing fiscal metrics now and five years ago with the comment "a funny thing happened on the way to entitlement explosion" and a speech by President Obama at Northwestern University where he said "deficits have come down at almost a record pace, and they're now manageable."
It is true that deficits have come down quickly, though context is needed. Without further legislative action, deficits are far from manageable, at least beyond the next few years. Although deficits have fallen significantly from post-World War II highs (as percent of GDP) and will remain below 3 percent of GDP through 2018, they will rise after that reaching 3.8 percent by 2022. Deficits will continue to increase beyond that as spending on interest and the major entitlement programs outpaces revenue. That, of course, leads to a run-up in debt.
Federal debt has reached 74 percent of the economy's annual output (GDP), "a higher percentage than at any point in U.S. history except a brief period around World War II," the CBO says, "and almost twice the percentage at the end of 2008." With no change in policy, that percentage will hold steady or decline a bit for a couple of years and then start rising again, to a dangerous 78 percent by 2024 and an insupportable 106 percent by 2039.

Maya MacGuineas, President of the Committee for a Responsible Budget, wrote a commentary that appeared in the Wall Street Journal Washington Wire. It is reposted here.
It's election season, which means the time to demagogue Social Security is again upon us. Those trying to avoid difficult trade-offs in Social Security reform often say that all we have to do to is "tweak" the system by lifting the $117,000 payroll tax cap so all wages are subject to the tax.
Taxing all income above $117,000 at 12.4% would raise more than $100 billion a year–far from a tweak. And never mind that the government has many other priorities that might be a better use for new funds, such as covering growing health-care costs, making overdue investments in infrastructure and R&D, or controlling the national debt.
Even if we eliminate the cap–and there is a good case for at least raising it–that wouldn't make Social Security even close to solvent.
According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), eliminating the cap would close about 70% of the system's 75-year imbalance. According to Congressional Budget Office accounting, it would close only 45% of the gap.
The SSA found that eliminating the cap on payroll taxes would close only one-third of the shortfall in the 75th year. This is important because it shows whether the reform would help make the system structurally sound or whether it would generate largely short-term savings. Eliminating the cap would generate only 10 years of surpluses before the benefits Social Security pays out again begin to exceed the revenue it takes in.
Part of the reason the change would not be more effective is that while Social Security might begin taking in more revenue, it would also be on the hook for paying out larger benefits down the road. One smart way to address this would be a form of means-testing, where there would be no additional benefits associated with the additional contributions from those making more than $117,000. This would generate more revenue for Social Security while better targeting its benefits. But this change is often opposed by progressives who fear it would break the traditional link between contributions and benefits. Those critics need to decide whether providing new benefits to people who don't need them is really worth giving away a significant portion of the gains that would be achieved by lifting the cap.
The Federal Reserve's efforts to help the economy recover through quantitative easing (QE), twisting, and tapering have made front page news without fail. Although it has gotten less attention, the Treasury Department has also been changing the way it finances the national debt to take advantage of lower interest rates, inadvertently counteracting some of the intended effect of the Fed's policies on the economy. That's exactly what a new Brookings working paper by Robin Greenwood, Samuel Hanson, Joshua Rudolph, and Lawrence Summers argues: during the past 5 years, the Fed and the Treasury have been "rowing in opposite directions."
In 2008, the Fed reduced interest rates to near zero in an attempt to help the economy grow. But nominal interest rates cannot go below zero, so conventional monetary tools stopped working. To further stimulate the economy, the Fed took extraordinary measures and began purchasing long-term government bonds and government guaranteed debt (like Mortgage Backed Securities, or MBS). These measures reduced the amount of long-term debt available for public investors and lowered long-term rates.
But while the Fed was engaging in these unconventional transactions, the Treasury was selling more long-term debt to lengthen the average maturity of the national debt, thereby locking in today's low rates and mitigating the risks of higher interest rates in the future, essentially providing a partial counterbalance to the Fed's policies.
If Republicans win a majority in the U.S. Senate this November, they may push to have the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) use dynamic estimates in official scoring of legislation, according to press reports. Dynamic estimates, which include the economic effects of proposed legislation, would provide useful information to lawmakers. Trying to determine these effects, however, is an uncertain science.
Analysis of the potential dynamic effects of legislation could provide policymakers with useful information in evaluating legislation. However, incorporating dynamic analysis into official budgetary scores of legislation could be problematic for a variety of reasons and could lead to Congress enacting legislation that increases the deficit. While such analysis could be beneficial to understanding the full implications of legislation, it should only be provided as supplementary information and not part of the official score.
In brief, dynamic estimates incorporate the effect that legislation would have on macroeconomic variables such as Gross Domestic Product, employment, and inflation. Current scoring conventions only include microeconomic changes. To learn more about dynamic scoring, read our report: Understanding Dynamic Scoring.
A new paper by Donald Marron of the Urban Institute brings a new idea to the table in the debate over accounting methods for federal lending programs. The paper proposes an approach Marron argues corrects the downsides he describes in both current Federal Credit Reform Act (FCRA) budget accounting standards and fair-value accounting. His approach is called "expected returns," and it is a third way that maintains some of the benefits of both approaches.
Simply put, expected returns accounting calculates a yearly expected value on a loan by comparing the government's returns net of defaults to its borrowing costs (interest on the new federal debt that funds the loan). This method, the paper argues, is a more accurate picture of the actual fiscal effects of the loan over many years in contrast to showing the lifetime effect of a loan in one year as FCRA and fair-value do. This presentation allows for the accounting of any taxpayer subsidies over market rates, an important point made by fair-value. Expected returns accounting departs from both approaches by spreading the score over time when net returns or losses are expected.
Below is an example of a $1,000 dollar loan at below market interest rates from the paper. The government loses $35 in the first year because the loan is below market rates, but it gains money in later years as its returns exceed borrowing costs.
Two weeks ago, we discussed results from two different Accountable Care Organization (ACO) programs in Medicare, which showed an improvement in quality but only modest savings so far. But ACOs are still in their early stages, giving policymakers plenty of opportunities to learn lessons on how to fine-tune them to better serve Medicare beneficiaries and taxpayers. Last week, Reps. Diane Black (R-TN) and Peter Welch (D-VT) released a bill (H.R. 5558) to do just that, establishing greater incentives for high-quality, low-cost care from providers and more engagement with patients. Many of these goals are consistent with policy options that were discussed at the Dartmouth Medicare conference, co-sponsored by Fix the Debt, where experts emphasized ways to achieve more coordinated care and better patient engagement.
The bill would make a number of changes to give ACOs greater flexibility to accomplish their goals, specifically:
In addition, beneficiaries would be prospectively assigned an in-network primary care physician, who would be required to give beneficiaries information about the ACO at initial check-ups.
The calendar turns over for the federal government today as FY 2015 is underway. Unlike last year, which started with the government being shut down for the first two-and-a-half weeks, a continuing resolution will fund the government through December 11 mostly at FY 2014 levels. The drama-free start to FY 2015 was set up by the chaos of early FY 2014, as the government shutdown led to a budget conference that set spending levels for the next two years.
It's not clear how FY 2015 will unfold with midterm elections next month, but we can take a look back at what happened in the year that just finished. Here are 14 important facts about FY 2014.
With the Disability Insurance trust fund running out of money in two years, time is running out to discuss a smart solution to the program's imbalance. Earlier this month, former Congressmen Jim McCrery (R-LA) and Earl Pomeroy (D-ND) announced the formation of the SSDI Solutions Initiative to identify concrete, practical strategies for reforming the program to make it work better for beneficiaries, taxpayers, and the economy.
The SSDI Solutions Initiative took the first step toward identifying ideas to improve the SSDI program last week by issuing a call for papers, seeking ideas to improve disability insurance. Disability experts can respond to the call for papers by submitting a paper proposal by November 1. First drafts of the papers will be due April 1, 2015, and final drafts will be due on June 15, with presentations made at a conference in mid-2015. Proposals should be sent to email@example.com.
Authors with innovative ideas or variations on existing SSDI reform ideas are encouraged to submit their proposals. The SSDI Solutions Initiative will accept papers on a number of areas related to SSDI, but they are particularly looking at 8 different categories:
Congress might not be too popular these days, but quietly a week and a half ago, they passed a small but important bill that could pave the way for Medicare delivery system reforms. Just before leaving town, the House and the Senate each passed the Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation, or IMPACT, Act of 2014 (H.R. 4994), by unanimous consent.
The National Law Review framed it appropriately:
The bill would enact data standardization across various post-acute care settings which could feed into various site-neutral and bundled payment initiatives. These initiatives could take a number of forms including independent legislation that targets the post-acute care sector, inclusion in broader payment reform efforts like the Medicare physician payment formula (SGR), and/or in efforts out of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) via demonstration authority. As we have noted in the past, post-acute care remains one of the top areas where health policy experts anticipate promising Congressional action this and next year. For example, post-acute care has been a priority for Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden and is an area ripe for significant delivery and payment reforms.

For example, post-acute care has been a priority for Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden and is an area ripe for significant delivery and payment reforms.
The bill itself has little impact on the budget, increasing spending by $222 million to satisfy the new data requirements, offset by penalties for Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) that don't satisfy the reporting requirements and reductions in caps on payments to beneficiaries in hospice care. The bill overall would save money but rather than use the net savings to reduce the debt, it adds $195 million to the "Medicare Improvement Fund," which hasn't actually funded Medicare improvements but serves as a sort of piggy bank to pay for doc fixes and other health policies.
Few topics elicit more yawns than a deep dive into accounting standards. Yet, there may be good reasons to grab a cup of coffee and pay attention to the way our government does its bookkeeping. As a National Affairs article by Jason Delisle and Jason Richwine and a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report on federal mortgage guarantees remind us, accounting methods can make a big difference for budget projections.
According to the official method for evaluating credit programs spelled out in the Federal Credit Reform Act (FCRA) of 1990, the federal government earns healthy profits from its federal student loan portfolio and the single-family loan guarantee program, to the tune of $184 billion and $63 billion respectively. But as we have explained before, there are different methods to evaluate the budgetary impact of federal programs. Using a different accounting method, known as fair-value accounting, CBO projects that these programs could actually cost the government $95 billion and $2 billion respectively. (Click here to read more about fair-value accounting.)
Judd Gregg, a former Republican senator from New Hampshire, served as chairman of the Senate Budget Committee from 2005 to 2007 and ranking member from 2007 to 2011. He recently wrote an op-ed featured in The Hill. It is reposted here.
At Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, there was recently a gathering of major healthcare public policy experts, senior staff of congressional health committees, and people concerned about both the health of Medicare and the health of the nation's fiscal situation.
It was a small group with a specific goal: To come up with some doable proposals that are bipartisan in nature and can be used both to improve the delivery of Medicare to seniors and to reduce its unsustainable cost path, which is a large driver of the nation's debt.
It was called "The Dartmouth Summit."
Despite partisan differences in Washington, there's actually considerable bipartisan consensus around many elements of tax reform. That's the conclusion of a new report by the Center for American Progress (CAP). The report includes two dozen specific policies to raise $1.4 trillion of revenue over ten years that have been proposed by both Republicans and Democrats, although notably the proposals from Republicans were part of a fundamental tax reform plan that was revenue-neutral overall. Most of the consensus policies come from the President's budget and House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp's (R-MI) Tax Reform Act of 2014.
The report outlines a number of reductions in tax expenditures and other policies to raise revenue. On the corporate side, policies include eliminating accelerated depreciation, requiring businesses to write off half of advertising costs over ten years, eliminating last-in first-out accounting, implementing a big bank tax, and restricting earnings stripping and transfer pricing manipulation. The corporate income tax policies raise over $750 billion over ten years.
On the individual side, policies include limiting the benefit of exclusions and deductions for high earners, increasing rates on capital gains and dividends, reducing the mortgage interest deduction, and eliminating the break for "like-kind" exchanges. The report also proposed a few tax cuts through an expanded Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC); in particular, the report would extend the 2009 EITC expansions for married couples and families with three or more children and expand the credit for childless workers. On net, the individual tax policies would raise more than $550 billion, although the report suggests that the EITC expansions could be paired with some of these policies to form a revenue-neutral package.
Some lawmakers appear poised to push an unpaid-for permanent "doc fix" during this year's lame-duck session of Congress, potentially adding nearly $200 billion to the debt, according to a CQ Roll Call article. Although some lawmakers are looking for offsets, adding the cost to the debt is misguided, especially with so many health care options available which can improve the health care system while also lowering costs.
With a number of deadlines approaching, the lame-duck session after the midterm elections promises to be busy. Lawmakers will have to deal with appropriations again with the current continuing resolution set to expire on December 11, and decide whether to renew a host of predominantly business tax breaks -- known as "tax extenders" -- and whether to continue increased Medicaid payment rates to primary care physicians.
So far, the Senate Finance Committee has passed a two-year extension of almost all of the tax extenders at an $85 billion price tag. Adding a permanent doc fix would increase the cost of the bill to between $200 and $300 billion. Instead, lawmakers should offset the costs of both these bills (and/or pare them down) rather than bundling them together in a fiscally irresponsible giveaway bonanza to special interests.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew proposed administrative rules this week that would limit the benefits of tax inversions, where companies move their headquarters overseas for tax reasons. The rules target abusive practices where deals were often structured solely to skirt U.S. tax law. They eliminate some incentive for companies to invert, but many of the basic incentives to invert will remain until fundamental tax reform passes Congress and is signed by the President.
Recent months have seen a wave of actual and proposed corporate "tax inversions," where U.S. companies merge with a foreign corporation to move their headquarters overseas and avoid the high statutory U.S. tax rate on corporate income. Inversions are estimated to cost about $20 billion in lost corporate tax revenue over the next ten years. The Obama Administration had been pushing for legislation to address the issue, but after Congress left town for campaign season without addressing the issue, the Treasury Department moved forward in areas where they believe they have clear legal authority.
While the proposal reduces some benefits to inversions and may cause some companies to rethink their plans, inversions are a small symptom of an outdated tax code.
A new bipartisan bill seeks to drive down prescription drug costs for consumers and the federal government.
The Fair Access for Safe and Timely Generics Act or FAST Generics Act (H.R. 5657) was introduced late last week by Rep. Steve Stivers (R-OH) and Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT). It's goal is to close a loophole in drug safety rules (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies, or REMS) that allows name-brand drug manufactures to withhold access to some drug samples from generic manufactures, who generally use these samples to help produce safe and cheaper generic versions of drugs.
This bill comes on the heels of a report by Matrix Global Advisors that estimated:
[the] delay [in] generic market entry for these products totals $5.4 billion in lost savings to the U.S. health care system annually. The federal government bears a third of this burden, or $1.8 billion… Among government health care programs, Medicare, which accounts for nearly 26 percent of total U.S. prescription drug spending, experiences lost savings of $1.4 billion annually. The economic cost to Medicaid (both federal and state) totals $400 million.

A version of this policy proposal was also contained in a 2012 bill (S. 2516) by Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), which CBO estimated at the time would reduce deficits by $753 million over ten years.

Idk if anyone is interested in this, but we did this with my June 2009 babycenter board and it was fun.
Basically everyone who wants to participate is paired up with someone and you exchange a shower gift. It can be for the mom or baby. We can set a limit on the price, I think our max was $10.
My shower partner sent me a travel bag for the hospital with travel size shampoos/soaps/ lotion for me and a pair of booties. I sent her 2 Sesame Street bibs and a cute onesie.
Anyone interested in an online baby shower?

We are set to arrive on the island on July 29th. ĀWe have a 10 month old son. ĀDue to their being various measles outbreaks in the U.S., our pediatrician recommended he get the MMR before we travel. ĀI am not against vaccinations, but I am hesitant to get this one before he is 1 since this is the one kids tend to react to if they are going to have a reaction. ĀWas any one else given this advice and did anyone get the vaccine early? ĀThank you!Ā

MMR is recommended as early as 6 months for travel to Europe and high risk areas.┬Ā The shot is not typically┬Āgiven before 12 months because of the risk of antibodies still in┬Ābaby's system from you fighting the vaccine┬Ārendering it less/ineffective.┬Ā If he┬Āwere exposed to Measles during your trip, getting the vaccine within 3 days lessens the severity of the infection.┬Ā Had your pedi not mentioned it it may have never crossed your mind ;)┬Ā There have been 118 cases of measles reported in the US and 1,562 reported reactions to the MMR vaccine┬Āfrom Jan-May of this year.┬Ā For comparison purposes, in the same time period there have been 2,709 reactions reported of DTaP (also highly reactive) and you have to think they are only giving 1 shot of MMR but 3 of DTaP in 1 year...so it would be 907 per dose of DTaP compared to 1,562 for MMR.┬Ā So, getting it before 12 months you are not only┬Ārisking a reaction, but also it being┬Āless/non effective.┬Ā Sorry if this is too much info!!┬Ā
good grief, someone has done her research :)

When You Need to Get Regular
Soothing Mint Get Regular tea is a delicious and effective way to get regular. This herbal formula contains Organic Senna Leaf, which has been used for centuries as a natural relief for occasional constipation. To balance the effect of Senna, we include Anise, Cardamom, Ginger and "Triphala," a blend of Amalaki, Bibhitaki and Haritaki Fruits, which have been used in Ayurveda to tone and rejuvenate the eliminative functions. Organic Peppermint Leaf and Licorice add a delicious, lightly sweet mint flavor. So when your body needs a little assistance, brew a cup of Soothing Mint Get Regular and get things moving naturally.
Yogi Principles
Tasting great is essential, but it isn't enough. If what we make doesn't taste great and leave you feeling great, we won't make it.
We think before we blend. How will our recipes work with body and mind?
Health is found in nature. We work with what nature already offers rather than trying to concoct it. We don't have laboratories. We have kitchens.
Creative combinations can optimize what nature has to offer. Ever added peppermint to ginger? They work together to produce a remarkably fresh and innovative taste... and a remarkable level of energy.
Whenever possible, we work with wholes, not parts. For instance, we don't add vitamin C. We add rose hips, which are natural rich in vitamin C.
Suggested Use
Get the Most Out of Every Cup
Bring water to boiling and steep 5 to 10 minutes. For best results, drink 1 cup before bedtime. A comfortable bowel movement is usually produced in 5 to 8 hours. Do not use in excess of 4 cups in 24 hours or for longer than 10 days.
Other Ingredients
Organic Orange Flavor, Natural Cinnamon Oil, Natural Cardamom Oil, Natural Ginger Oil.
This product contains senna leaf. Read and follow directions carefully. Do not use if you have or develop diarrhea, loose stools or abdominal pain because senna may worsen these conditions and be harmful to your health.
Consult your physician prior to use if you have frequent diarrhea or if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or have a medical condition. Not recommended for children under 12 years of age.
