The Supreme Court ruling on President Obama's health-care overhaul was supposed to lift the confusion clouding one-sixth of the U.S. economy and energize health-care stocks. So far, it's proving as divisive in the stock market as it is with the voting public.
Thursday's historic ruling in favor of a mandate requiring Americans to have health insurance or pay a penalty could swell the ranks of newly insured patients by more than 30 million. That lifted acute-care hospitals and Medicaid providers, some by double-digit percentages late last week. But the threat of new taxes and profit-constraining regulations also worried a big swath of other stocks like drug makers, medical-device companies, and big health insurers.
Which of these reflexive moves might have legs? Bad-debt expenses routinely exceed 10% of revenues at hospitals. The promise of universal health coverage and fewer uninsured patients showing up in emergency rooms lifted hospital chains like HCA Holdings hca -0.1724137931034483% HCA Holdings Inc.

Sheryl Skolnick, co-head of research at CRT Capital Group, thinks investors should "enjoy the rally while it lasts." For one thing, any benefit from less bad debt could be offset by slower reimbursement growth and fiscal belt-tightening. The law's major provisions won't kick in until 2014, and Republicans have vowed to repeal the law the first chance they get. "I think the market has overreacted, without taking into account the risks from lower reimbursements and the November election."
Barron's anticipated the decision (see "How to Play the Obamacare Ruling," June 11), while prediction markets like Intrade recently pegged the odds of an overturn at more than 70%.
Among managed-care companies, the surge of Medicaid providers also looks overzealous—since the ruling essentially limited Washington's authority to compel states to participate in the expansion of Medicaid, the federal insurance scheme for the poor. Still, the expansion wasn't summarily struck down, which makes the 5% to 9% pop in Medicaid-focused specialists like Molina Healthcare moh 0.8323424494649228% Molina Healthcare Inc.

Sure, millions of new patients are a boon, but the sludge of costly new regulations and the proposed establishment of state-based insurance exchanges aren't. Requirements to guarantee coverage to all comers without prejudice to their medical history and without charging more for existing conditions also worried investors. Perhaps too much.
"While the government may play a bigger role in health care, the entire system still ultimately relies on insurers," says David Pearl, co-chief investment officer of Epoch Investment Partners, who likes the prospects for big diversified insurers and holds shares of Aetna. "In the long run, the biggest insurers are likely to be low-cost providers, and they're more likely to gain market share." Since the health-care overhaul was unveiled two years ago, insurers have started to tweak their businesses, and share prices have begun to reflect the anticipated margin pressures and commodification of managed-care services. The group trades at less than 10 times projected profits, below their median of 13.4 times over the past decade and at a 20% discount to the overall stock market.
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Joseph France also thinks the market has overlooked the potential for consolidation and the ability of big insurers like UnitedHealth to counter rising costs by expanding services. Humana's chief business, Medicare-related policies, is "growing rapidly because of baby boomers aging into Medicare and choosing managed care, and the company's long-term strategy of reinvesting in more cost-effective products that preserve the benefits its members find most attractive." He thinks shares are worth 11 times projected 2013 profits, or $95—above current level near $77.

These are just things that I have picked up over the years, and noticed so I thought I might as well share my experience with improvement in effort to help others find their own paths of improvement and learning as artists. There are still many things I have to learn, and wish to improve about my own art! The path of an artist is never ending, in my opinion!I consider the beginning of my journey when I withdrew from college.

How to Make Money with Your ArtDisclaimer: I am not an economist, accountant, CPA, marketing expert or any of the sort. These are not guarenteed to help. These are just my opinions, and I have no intention of offering further advice on this matter. Also please do not grammar police me. I'm sure you have better things to do.I have seen a lot of people on social media (especially tumblr) ask about getting more commissions, selling, etc etc. They wonder about why they are not finding customers/watchers/consumers.First off, I'd like to remind all of you that dA is SUPERSATURATED with talented artists who are trying to sell their work and there is only a limited amount of money floating around, but you are trying to compete with MANY artists. That already poses a problem. Here are some things I would suggest to anyone who is wondering why they can't sell their work. It does not mean you are not talented. There are many factors that could determine your income. Let's get started:1) ARE YOU READY FOR COM

NEW YORK (MainStreet)While President Obama has threatened to veto the Republican sponsored House bill he says would result in a two-fold interest rate increase in student loans, the GOP proposal and his own are more similar than the partisan divide would suggest. Congress and the White House have until July 1 to act, when rates on most Stafford loans are set to double from 3.4% to 6.8%. Meanwhile some observers believe essence of the student loan crisis goes beyond the problems posed by interest rates.
Also see: Student Loan Bill Gains in the House, Faces Showdown in the Senate
The Smarter Solutions for Students ActHR 1911included flexible interest rates pegged to the 10-year Treasury billthe point where the two proposals are most similar. The Obama plan would tie rates to 10-year T-bills plus 0.9%. In the Republican bill, rates are tied to the T-bill plus 2.5% The Obama plan also has expanded income-based repayment and loan forgiveness options.
In discussing the Republican bill, Rep. John Kline (R-MN) said last week that "The legislation is based on the president's own proposal and provides a solid basis for negotiation through the legislative process." Obama's veto threat, he said. ". . .proves the president would rather pick a partisan fight with Congress instead of work in good faith on a bipartisan solution."
Senate Democrats, meanwhile, have an alternative plan to freeze rates until 2015 at 3.4%. Passage of the House Republicans may drive them to an unwanted compromise as the July 1 deadline closes in.

Art is Comfort Food in the Age of Ebola
It was time to hug our East Coast kids and see some fall art. Husband Dave and I flew to DC for a weekend of soccer starring our grands, Tess (8) and Kai (6). Late October in Alaska is not conducive to outdoor activities but soccer fields adjacent to George Washington's Potomac home were still verdant with parents decked out in polar fleece cheered for their toddling players who often put the ball into the wrong goal—to grandparents it's all love.
Instead of Golfing, Vacation with the Environment
Recently I met up with Jay Sargent, a former high school classmate, and discovered that not only does she still love horses, she now loves dolphins – enough to go on vacation with them.
Taking Granddaughter, Averyl, to the Anchorage Museum was beyond Priceless
My daughter Jenn's 20th wedding anniversary coincided with Labor Day. So my husband, Dave, and I adopted Averyl for the weekend which included an afternoon at the Anchorage Museum. The three of us headed for the exhibition Gyre–The Plastic Ocean.
Friendly's Fried Clams Go Down Nicely With Art
As Jerry Seinfeld says, buying fruit is a gamble—so are some art trips. In mid-July I headed to Providence, Rhode Island to take my art-philosophy Ph.D. orals. My husband, Dave, came along so he could eat tons of lobster and give me hugs. Happily, I passed – though going before academics is scary, even if you've studied hours and hours. Stay tuned as it's going to be fun to report on my project: The Art of Winston Churchill.
Three Great Summer Shows (Back East)
Alex Katz's "Ada and Vincent in the Car", portrays the stay-at-home mom driving her son–note the ubiquitous post-war American Chevy/Ford steering wheel.
Typical when routinely transporting teens, Ada and Vincent don't converse.
New York in Late Spring, an Aesthetic Bonus
It's June and I'm studying for PhD art-philosophy orals coming up mid-July. I've told everyone in my life to scram/skedaddle until August.
I'm at my desk, five hours daily, yellow highlighter on textbooks, in front of my wide screen computer, pounding keys, and looking things up on Wikipedia.
Spring Absence and Renewal with Art
This spring husband Dave and I flew to Boston College for the christening of our newest grandchildren, Spencer and Finn.
Sinking in to our seats on the red eye to Seattle, we realized we'd forgotten all the wiring to the computer, phones and camera.
The Armory Show: Art Fair Meets Avant-garde
After my romp through the 2014 Whitney Biennial this past March, I took a crosstown bus from Fifth Avenue to the Armory Show on display on the remodeled Hudson River Piers 92 & 94 .
With two hundred and five exhibitors, the Armory Show is the largest art fair in New York and really Disneyland for art lovers.
An Alaskan Goes to the 2014 Whitney Biennial
About a year ago, I received an email that professor Michelle Grabner would be one of the three curators of the 2014 Whitney Biennial Show. I asked Grabner if I could shadow her on her year long adventure of artist selection.
The Whitney press office dismissed my project.
In The Dark of Winter Don't "Kiss It All Goodbye"
Artists love to exchange their wares with fellow craftsmen. I still have chimes my older daughter, Jenn, made in kindergarten almost forty years ago.
So when my friend Lawrence Vescera mailed me his sci-fi tome, Kiss It All Goodbye, I was thrilled to turn off reruns of The Borgias, pour some tea and begin the enchantment while forgetting icy roads outside my cozy nook.
Dena'Ina Way of Living, at the Anchorage Museum
Hurry, you can still make it to Dena'Ina Way of Living with its preserved artifacts and dioramic recreations. But not to worry, the exhibition catalog will be available after the show closes.
Dena'inaq' Huch'ulyeshi, the Dena'Ina Way of Living illustrates how a population lived thousands of years ago without electricity, running water and modern medicine; be humbled by those who came before.
December in California: Take Mittens When Searching for Art
The internet said eighty degree weather in California the first week of December. So, husband Dave and I left our mittens in the car before flying to Los Angeles for a bankruptcy conference and Fall art.
Sitting in our hotel room later, I kept hearing Sinatra singing, "hate California, it's cold and it's damp." Catalina Island looked like a cake submerged in whipped cream.
Aesthetic Energy, Autumn back East
It takes five years to organize an art exhibition which means this year's fall lineup was created in 2008, the big financial dip. With that in mind I headed East to hug grandchildren and see what was aesthetically pleasing.
Our fall art tour took us to Philadephia, Washington, D.C. and New York City.
The Art of James Gurney: Part 2
James Gurney's famed Dinotopia series, enchanting adventures juxtaposing mythical creatures and humans against fantasy backgrounds, morphed into his how-to book, Imaginative Realism.
Imaginative Realism's sequel is Gurney's Color and Light. Written in a convenient cookbook style, he imparts artistic elements, rules-of-the-road, that take painters on a journey, becoming keener observers while perfecting their artistic endeavors.
The Art of James Gurney: Part 1
The Portrait Society of America held its annual conference in Atlanta and featured illustrator James Gurney. As a parent, I was familiar with his book Dinotopia but had never looked beyond the bedtime story scenario.
I chose a Gurney break-out session and began to learn how approachable he was.
A July Art Vacation
While some relax rafting or playing 18 holes of golf, I spent a portion of my summer on campus. When not writing essays for Town Square 49, or painting with acrylics, I attend low-residency PhD classes at The Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts.
This program allows students to absorb classical philosophy while never getting out of their pajamas.
Art Comes as a Refuge for June's End of School Puzzles
The Brooklyn Museum of Art is a short subway ride from Midtown and although it competes with Manhattan's museum trifecta: Metropolitan, Guggenheim, and MoMA, lately it's been packing a mean punch.
John Singer Sargent could paint anything, as noted in his seafaring compositions where canvas sails soften wooden boats which lap up reflections from the water.
Discover Yourself at Clark James Mishler's Portrait Alaska Exhibition
On a May afternoon while our spring blizzard was slowly melting, I sat in the atrium of the Anchorage Museum eating my sandwich and looking.
I was looking up and around at Clark James Mishler's portraits of Alaskans. Old, young, tattooed, the local famous and infamous, were all staring down at me and I returned their piercing glances.
The Civil War as Surreal
Our country is celebrating the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the Civil War (1861-1865).
On a recent trip East, husband Dave and I tried to remove the surreal when imagining neighbors killing neighbors or our non-white relatives as slaves.
Finding Realism Coast to Coast
Rodd Ambroson and Mickalene Thomas portray women in different ways on opposite sides of the country.
Both show women as independent beings while pushing and pulling beneath surfaces of their chosen media to proclaim inner strengths and to express beauty.

American Studies
Session I (June 2 - June 27)
AMST 211 - Contemporary Asian American Immigration and Food
Alex Orquiza, Visiting Lecturer in American Studies
Asian food is everywhere in America. Its popularity has meant adjustments to suit American palates and the commodification of an entire Asian food industry in restaurant and home kitchens. This popularity, however, has meant an Orientalist search for "authenticity" that reveals questions of ethic identity, transnationalism, and immigration. This course uses food to demonstrate the economic and political forces shaping Asian American culture. Some of the questions we will answer are: Why do certain regional cuisines represent an entire nation? How do ethnic cuisines become popular? Is Asian American cuisine more American than Asian? And how do chefs, cooks, food writers define Asian American cuisine?

The Auglaize County commissioners are looking for someone to serve on the Mental Health and Recovery Services Board of Allen, Auglaize and Hardin Counties.
The four-year term is to replace the Rev. Steve Nelson, whose term has expired.
The boardÔÇÖs mission is to ÔÇťreach out and provide vital prevention and treatment services to every resident,ÔÇŁ board Executive Director Mike Schoenhofer said
ÔÇťBoard members will actively participate in setting a strategic course, developing a framework of policies, and conducting the necessary oversight as they work to fulfill the mission on behalf of the member counties,ÔÇŁ Schoenhofer said.
He said the board plans, administers and funds mental health and substance abuse prevention and treatment services through contracts with private, non-profit treatment agencies to provide these services to residents of the three counties.
ÔÇťThe focus of the boardÔÇÖs contracts are on youth and adults with severe and persistent mental illness or substance use disorders and on early intervention, prevention and wellness,ÔÇŁ Schoenhofer said.
The board is comprised of 18 members with four appointed by the Ohio Department of Mental Health, four by the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services, four by the Allen County commissioners and three each by Auglaize and Hardin county commissioners.
Board members must be residents of the three counties and have no conflict of interest as defined by the Ohio Ethics Commission.
As part of their duties, board members must regularly attend monthly board meetings held on the third Wednesday of each month, as well as other meetings as determined by the board. Board members must also stay informed about board matters, prepare for meetings, and review and comment on minutes and reports, as well as get to know each other and build collegial working relationships and contribute to consensus as well as actively participate in appropriate evaluation and planning.
For more information on what the board does, visit wecarepeople.org
Auglaize County residents interested in serving on the board should do so by mailing a letter of interest to the Auglaize County commissioners, 209 S. Blackhoof St., Wapakoneta, 45895.

n the opening sequence of this crime drama, Ryan Gosling is introduced as a getaway driver for two faceless thugs stealing money from some unknown destination.  The scene builds to what will be an inevitable chase scene between them and the cops.  Tension mounts as a creeping Cat & Mouse game plays out with them slowly trying to sneak down the streets of LA without being spotted.  Surely, this car chase scene is gonna be epic and kick this movie off in full throttle.  But no.  It never comes.  In fact, the sequence involves slow driving, methodical evasion moves and an  anticlimactic getaway.  Never once is any of it boring though.  And this sets the tone of
is a gritty crime movie that takes place in LA but we're not sure when due to a misleading soundtrack choice of heart-pounding synth pop and cliche costume choices. Â These were deliberate choice by director Nicolas Winding Refn, who directed the brilliant
in 2008, which introduced the world to Tom Hardy (
Warrior, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises
). Â I'm sure he also had a call in the promotion of this film that uses hot pink '80s style font for all the advertising and credits. Â Coupled with the heavy female soundtrack and Gosling's adorable manboy face, you'd expect this to be a film about crime that's made for women. Â A warning to all lovers of
The Notebook
, this is not the Ryan you're expecting.
is one of the most violent movies I've ever seen. Â Sure there are movies like
Saving Private Ryan
Nightmare on Elm Street
that are officially more violent, but
is filled with unexpected brutality. Â This is NOT a film for the slight of heart. Â Some of the scenes generated audible gasps from the audience and people turned away from the screen. Â In some cases, people got up and left the theater. Â Yes, some of this violence is gratuitous but never once does it not fit the tone of the film. Â It's all done for a reason and in some cases even meant to be playful. The entire cast is brilliant. Â It also features Carey Mulligan (
An Education
), Ron Pearlman (
), Bryan Cranston (AMC's
Breaking Bad
) and comedian Albert Brooks (
Mother, Finding Nemo
) as an Oscar-caliber villain. Â He is a perfect baddie and nobody would EVER have guessed that. Â It's that kind of risky choices that makes
and Refn's vision that deserves top notice from people. All that being said, this is not a movie for mass audiences. Â It has a pace that is slow and deliberate. Â The film takes itself more seriously than it deserves but that can be overlooked. Â Gosling's character, who is only listed in the credits as "Driver," is mysterious and a man of few words. Â He says very little and Refn allows moments of the film to go on in complete silence for agonizing amounts of time. Â However, after a full viewing, I'm sure those pregnant pauses are far more important and justified on a second enjoyment. There are few movies that, after I see them, I look forward to seeing again as soon as possible;Â
is one of them though. Â It's not a classic story of a criminal with a heart of gold. Â It's a story of a criminal who tries to do the right thing after falling in love, but displays acts of violence that suggests an almost psychotic and homicidal maniac past. Â Gosling does a stellar job showing that without ever saying a word. Â But again, don't go into
with any pretense. Â It's not
Fast and the Furious
filled with amazing car chase scenes! Â It's not
The Notebook
filled with passionate love scenes. Â It's brutal, weird and inspired! Â It's one of those movies that makes you think you just saw something important...even if you're not 100% sure what you just saw.

his movie opens on a black screen. Â You hear audio, people talking, casino noises, but you don't see anything. Â Then you hear someone start to cough. Â The second that happens, you're already put on edge for the movie about a disease that threatens to wipe out the planet. Â It's a brilliant way to open the movie. Â I smirked when I heard that and got scared at the same time. Â Sadly, that just might be the best part of
. Movies about diseases that end the world scare the s**t out of me! Â It's ten times scarier than a giant tidal wave or earthquakes or zombies or aliens. Â Diseases are real and they really do harness the power to kill everyone alive. Â Full disclosure, I was looking forward to this film and wanted it to be amazingly scary. Â I was so disappointed. Director Stephen Soderbergh has his ups and downs but never would I call him a hack. Â He's always looking for ways to push the envelope of cinema or have fun with it. Â He's impressed critics and audiences with
Traffic, Erin Brockovich
and the
movies. Â He's won over only the critics with movies like
The Informant!
The Girlfriend Experience.
And he's disappointed both audiences and critics with movies like
Che Part 1

is an example of how too many characters on too many story lines can ruin a film. Â It's not short of A-list firepower at all. Â It has Matt Damon, Lawrence Fishburn, Kate Winslet, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law to name just a few. Â All are fine actors that have given us great performances over the years. Â However, none of these actors play characters that are involved in any cohesive story together. Â They all are like supporting characters for a movie that has no lead. Not only does it not have a lead, it has no pulse. Â It's as if the movie itself got infected and just staggers around in a cold sweat hacking. Â All the things that make a movie about the end of the world entertaining are shown to us in
with zero zest! Â Mass panic, a race for a cure, tracking down the disease's origin; these are all in the film but shown to you in a way that makes you not care and certainly not chomp down on popcorn. My friend Dave went with me to see it. Â He loved it. Â He actually liked the fact that it was downplayed so much because he said it made it feel real. Â I suppose it does; but with a film of this nature, I don't want it to feel so real that I am bored by it. Â That's what happened with
. Pulling off a movie with a huge cast of characters is not easy. Â There are only a few movies that have done it...but Soderbergh is a director that has done that successfully a lot! Â So what went wrong here? Â I can only imagine my diagnosis was correct...

The pictures may be talking, but they're not speaking our language
Nothing says I (only pretend to) love you like the air kiss
The other night there was a party at my house
A disquisition on horripilation, cutis anserine, gooseflesh, and goose bumps
Learning how to run is about wicking fabrics, carbs--and transcendental bliss
Hear that sound?
When the going gets tough, the rich go shopping for their kids
Start reading. Now. Or. Whatever.

UK, 1992 (MIFF 1993, Documentaries)
Director: Nick Broomfield
Between 1990 and 1991, Aileen Carol Wuornos, a 35-year-old prostitute, killed seven men. The FBI termed her "America's first female serial killer".
British documentary filmmaker Nick Broomfield unites his interest in social outsiders and oversized personalities — as seen in his other works, Soldier Girls, Monster in a Box and Driving Me Crazy, all seen at previous MIFF's — in this quizzical look at the horror-show hype that has surrounded Wuornos. The film is not a sensationalised recapitulation of crime but an investigation of a different order. Broomfield's quest for truth, in the quagmire of fast-buck fascination, becomes his central motif, as he charts her personal history to reveal an infinitely more complex portrait, a defendant who is culpable and a victim.
Weeks before incarceration — and unbeknownst to her — Wuornos had already spawned a macabre cottage industry that included book and movie deals (with amazing disclosures that police officers reportedly began discussions with Hollywood one month before her arrest!). The director encounters incredible characters who have attached themselves to her like Arlene Pralle, a born-again Christian who adopted Wuornos in '91 and Steven Glazer the self promoting, guitar strumming, singing public defendant, who is her lawyer.
Broomfield also is very much a player in the tale he seeks to tell - the apparant irony at the heart of this documentary is that he, like all the others, is there with a camera and a microphone, filming an individual who feeds our most prurient, voyeuristic desires - yet, like The Thin Blue Line, the story of Aileen Wuornos powerfully transcends its limits because, as its core, a life hangs in the balance unfairly skewed.

Before movies had synchronized soundtracks, they had no real standard framerate. Indeed, the framerate of silent movies could depend on the projectionist. This is why silent movie buffs talk about the number of reels or total print length, rather than length in minutes. The average speed of silent film was 16 frames per second, although the fact that cameras were hand cranked meant the actual speed could vary greatly, even within individual films. In some cases, even when the director released a recommended frame per second (fps) rate, exhibitors screened the films at a faster rate, to fit more screenings into a day. With the coming of sound, the speed was standardized to the current 24 fps. When projected using modern equipment running at this standard sound speed, silent films usually appear to run faster than normal. Because people have become accustomed to seeing silent films run at this incorrect speed, fake silent film footage appearing in TV shows will probably be highly Undercranked (and Deliberately Monochrome, though that's another story). The early assumption that all silent films were shot at 16 fps led to further complications. In practice, some films were shot at as few as 14 or as many as 26-30 fps. It is believed, for example, that Metropolis was shot at around 20 fps, and there is still much debate about its correct projection speed. Today, the variation of the silent frame rate is better understood, and is carefully adjusted for modern restorations so that the action onscreen appears natural.
