text: Latest Halbig Gaffe Shows Wonks Were Not Well Informed About the Issue at the Time by John Sexton 31 Jul 2014 Share This: It turns out Jonathan Gruber was not the only Obamacare wonk to have a "speak-o" about the issue of subsidies and state exchanges. This newly uncovered error is important in a different way. Back in 2010, after the Senate bill was passed but before it became law, health care wonk Jonathan Cohn gave an interview with NPR's Fresh Air in which he suggested there might be an opt-out for states (hat tip to American Commitment for the clip): GROSS: Now, there's also an option, isn't there, is a Senate bill, to opt out of the exchange? Mr. COHN: There is some kind of opt out, and I'll be honest. This is not something I've looked into that closely because I don't think it's going to end up in the bill. But you know, basically this I believe was part of the Ben Nelson compromise. Basically, where a state could opt out of the exchanges, I find it hard to believe a state would actually do that. You know, it's - if you think about the history of these sorts of things, Medicaid was set up and is, remains, an optional program for states. States can opt out of Medicaid if they want to. They don't because there's a lot of federal money they are entitled to if they participate in Medicaid. In addition to that, it helps them cover poor people in their state, and if they don't get that money from Medicaid, they're going to be totally responsible for this on their own. I can't possibly imagine a state opting out of an insurance exchange, given it's a good deal for the state. And I know a lot of states are nervous about what's going to happen with this, but at the end of the day, I just don't see it happening. There are important things this clip tells us but first let's note one thing it does not. This obviously doesn't prove what was in the Senate bill that became Obamacare. Maybe if Cohn had forcefully presented this as absolute fact, but he didn't. He said in the interview it, "was not something I've looked into that closely." As he suggested in his response post this morning, what he should have probably done is stop talking. Instead he speculated about some things he wasn't clear about. So put aside the idea that this is a smoking gun. It's not. Nevertheless this tells us something very important that needs to be emphasized. As Sean Davis points out in an excellent piece at The Federalist, many of the left's health care wonks have been saying the Halbig plaintiffs claims simply can not be right because, if they were, the left's wonks would have known about this issue at the time. The "we would have known" claim has been ubiquitous. But Cohn really was carefully and diligently covering the bill at the time and he didn't know much about this issue. That was true even though it had first cropped up in the HELP bill seven months earlier. It suggests he probably wasn't familiar with the legislative history regarding this particular issue either. If he had been, he could have given a more factual answer to the question. Instead what we hear is someone emphasizing that we just don't need to worry about that because states won't go there. I suspect that's what nearly everyone believed at the time. I pointed out earlier this week that the language in the HELP bill, first published in mid-June, is very clear that states which resist the new law will be cut off from subsidies for a period of years. And yet, there's little evidence that anyone--I'm thinking specifically about Ezra Klein--ever mentioned this feature of the bill even when writing specifically about how it handled exchanges and subsidies. It was there in the bill but it was mostly, perhaps even completely, overlooked. What Cohn's statement from 2010 and Klein's non-statements from 2009 tell us is this: No one was focused on this issue at the time. Everyone pretty much assumed states would set up exchanges. So when we hear these same folks telling us now that there's no way something so critically important could have escaped their notice, well, the clip above proves that's just not true. When it was in a real bill produced by the Senate, they didn't seem to notice. This doesn't prove they are wrong about what Democratic Senators intended with the final bill, but it does prove the wonks certainly can't claim their own ignorance (and apparent silence on the matter) as proof of what was or was not intended.

Westminster Abbey Choir School
|c.1560; 1848
|Independent boarding prep school
Choral foundation school
|Church of England
|Mr Jonathan Milton
|Chair of Governors
|The Very Rev Dr John Hall, Dean of Westminster
|20 Dean's Yard

Westminster Abbey Choir School is a boarding preparatory school for boys in Westminster, London and the only remaining choir school in the United Kingdom which exclusively educates choristers. It is located in Dean's Yard, by Westminster Abbey. It educates about 30 boys, aged 8–13 who sing in the Choir of Westminster Abbey which takes part in state and national occasions as well as singing evensong everyday (except Wednesday) and gives concert performances around the world. Its most recent tour[when?] was to Moscow, singing in the International House of Music there. Other tours included trips to Australia,[1] America, and Hong Kong.
The headmaster is Jonathan Milton, former headmaster of The Abbey School, Tewkesbury. The organist and master of the choristers is James O'Donnell, former Master of Music at Westminster Cathedral.
The choir school was thought to have been founded around 1560 as the choir boys of Westminster Abbey have been educated since Elizabethan times. The present school was built in 1919 and underwent major renovations in 1990s.
The Chairman of the Governors of the school is the Very Reverend John Hall, Dean of Westminster and former Chief Education Officer for the Church of England.
The school was inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in November 2006. The inspection report stated that the school provides an outstanding education.[2]
As a choir school, boys are selected by musical ability. The Dean and Chapter meet the cost of their vocal training and at least eighty per cent of the cost of their education. The regular school curriculum is not neglected and pupils are taught the required National Curriculum subjects as well as Latin, French and Greek.[3]
The choir[edit]
The choir makes frequent broadcasts and recordings.[4] The choir's two most recent recordings are: Remembrance, with pieces including the Durufle requiem, Vaughn-Williams and Taverner , "Missa Euge bone & Western Wynde Mass" and "Music from the reign of King James", both on Hyperion. The Sub-organist, from September 2013, is Daniel Cook and the assistant organist is Martin Ford and,since September 2014 the organ scholar has been Jeremy Woodside, with James O'Donnell as the Organist and Masters of the Choristers. In 2009 it was decided to no longer have the positions of Head Chorister and Second Chorister so that the choir would be like other choirs.But,in 2013 Benjamin Maclean was chosen as head chorister and Omar Lingemann As Second chorister.In 2014 the head chorister was Sam Grindlay and the second chorister was John Hindley.In 2014-15 the two senior choristers are [5]Dominic Stokes(Head) and Hugo Millard (Second).
The choir has travelled across the world to perform tours most recently in Australia, the USA, China, Moscow, Rome, and Hungary. Generally these tours take place once every two years. The Choir was due to go to Spain in 2009 but due to the recession it could not go ahead. The next tour the choir is due to experience is to the U.S.A in October 2014.
Notable former pupils[edit]

LONDON – The board of AstraZeneca on Monday rejected the improved $119 billion takeover offer from U.S. drugmaker Pfizer, a decision that caused a sharp slide in the U.K. company's share price as many investors think it effectively brings an end to the protracted and increasingly bitter takeover saga.
The board said in a statement that it reiterates its confidence in AstraZeneca's ability to deliver on its prospects as an independent, science led business.
Pfizer, which is the world's second-biggest drugmaker by revenue, has been courting No. 8 AstraZeneca since January, arguing their businesses are complementary. On Sunday, it raised its stock-and-cash offer by 15 percent to $118.8 billion. That would be the richest acquisition ever among drugmakers and the third-biggest in any industry, according to figures from research firm Dealogic.
AstraZeneca didn't take long to reject the new offer, its board arguing Pfizer is making an opportunistic attempt to acquire a transformed AstraZeneca, without reflecting the value of its exciting pipeline of experimental drugs.
Because Pfizer said it won't raise its offer again or launch a hostile takeover bid over the heads of AstraZeneca's board, the prospect of a deal looks increasingly remote unless AstraZeneca shareholders urge a change of mind. Pfizer has said it hopes AstraZeneca's shareholders will push for a deal.
This has been going on for quite some time and we have been in very deep engagement over the whole of the weekend, AstraZeneca Chairman Leif Johansson told the BBC. If Pfizer now says this is the final offer I have to believe what they say.
Shareholders in AstraZeneca PLC seemed to think a deal is now unlikely.
Though it has said its indicative offer is final, Pfizer has, under U.K. takeover rules, until 5 p.m. on May 26 to make a formal bid. If it doesn't, it cannot make another offer for six months.

First things first: is the Houston Ballet's current production of The Nutcracker worth seeing? The answer, which will likely come as a surprise to no one, is yes: it's entertaining, it's meticulously performed and the kids will love it. (Certainly the kids I saw seemed riveted, keeping quiet and in control from the show's beginning to its end, a notable accomplishment, given that many of them looked to be of an age well below that required for admission to elementary school.) Desmond Heeley's sets are spectacular, especially the backdrops he created for the second act visit to the Kingdom of Sweets. The lack of any serious dancing in the first act lets the members of the Ballet show off their acting ability, which is considerable. Pastry cooks fly across the stage in Act Two. The dancing itself, when the production finally gets around to some, sparkles. And then there's the Houston Ballet Orchestra, which is often overshadowed by the dancers it supports, but in this instance gets to shine, in part because of the strength of the Tchaikovsky music and in part because the stately pace of the first act, and the variety of the divertissements in the second, draw more attention than usual to the sounds coming out of the pit.
Second things second: for most of the people who will attend The Nutcracker -- and their numbers are legion -- none of the above really matters. Like A Christmas Carol on the theatrical side, The Nutcracker has a life of its own distinct from the rest of the ballet repertoire. And while a truly awful Nutcracker production might result in smaller audiences, a truly mediocre one probably wouldn't.
It's to the Ballet's credit, then, that it lavishes such loving attention on this particular warhorse, even if there are obvious financial reasons to do so: though the Houston Ballet doesn't depend on Nutcracker ticket sales to the degree that some ballet companies do, those sales still account for 16 percent of the Ballet's total budget. (For the New York City Ballet, Nutcracker money contributes close to one-third of the budget, while the Boston Ballet depends on the Nutcracker for 40 percent of its income.) Where the standard Houston Ballet series runs two weeks, The Nutcracker runs five. And the 40 performances of this ballet almost match the total number of performances of all the other ballets in the company's entire season. As Houston Ballet Artistic Director Ben Stevenson admits, when you have a cash cow of that size, "you need to make sure it looks fresh."
The particular way Stevenson has opted to keep the ballet from getting stale is to emphasize its lighter aspects, throwing in bits of comedy when he can and heightening the flashier elements of the second act dances. That's not the only way the ballet can be played, of course. In Russia, where it originated at St. Petersburg's Maryinsky Theater, The Nutcracker can be solemn, almost gloomy, and in the hands of Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gelsey Kirkland at the American Ballet Theatre, it became a story of a young girl's sensual awakening. (That angle isn't much of a stretch, actually. A young girl is given a male doll by a magician-like relative, then falls asleep with the doll, which mutates into a prince who takes her to an enchanted land ... you don't have to be a Freudian to see where that's headed. The ABT made the story's implications clearer by having Clara be an older girl; in its own celebrated reworking, using sets designed by Maurice Sendak, the Pacific Northwest Ballet had Clara age en route to her fantasy retreat with the Nutcracker Prince. Then the Sugar Plum Fairy is eliminated, with Clara taking over to dance the final romantic pas de deux with the Nutcracker.)
Still, for all that, few dance fans would rank The Nutcracker high on their list of ballets to admire. Stevenson, for one, admitted in an interview last year that when he was a dancer in England, The Nutcracker was far from his favorite work (though ever the conscientious promoter, he went on to add that once he began viewing it from the audience's side of the stage, he liked it better). And even though she had been trotted out by the Ballet's press office to talk about how excited she was to get a chance to dance the showcase role of Snow Queen this year, Houston Ballet corps member Mirielle Hassenboehler had to admit when pressed that while The Nutcracker is a sentimental favorite of hers -- and, as is the case with many children, was her introduction to ballet -- it isn't close to being her choice as the best that dance has to offer.
Actually, Hassenboehler was being gentle in her description of the ballet; other dancers have been heard to mutter, not for attribution, that they loathe the work. That's an exaggeration, of course, and one no doubt created by fatigue and frustration. Dance struggles year round to find an audience, and yet this one ballet, at this one time of the year, packs them in for weeks.

Chin augmentation
A chin augmentation is a surgical procedure to reshape or enhance the size of the chin. It may be done either by inserting an implant or by moving or reshaping bones.
- Alternative Names
Augmentation mentoplasty; Genioplasty
- Description
Surgery may be performed in the surgeon's office, a hospital, or an outpatient clinic.
You will have x-rays taken of your face and chin. The doctor will use these x-rays to determine what part of the chin to operate on.
When you need only an implant to round out the chin:
- You may be under general anesthesia (unconscious and not able to feel pain), or you may receive local numbing medicine along with a medicine that will make you relaxed and sleepy.
- A cut is made, either inside the mouth or outside under the chin. A pocket is created in front of the chin bone and under the muscles, and the implant is placed inside.
- The surgeon may use real bone or fat tissue, or an implant made out of silicone, Teflon, Dacron, or newer biological inserts.
- The implant is usually attached to the bone with sutures or screws.
- Sutures are used to close the surgical cut. When the cut is inside the mouth, the scar is barely visible.
It may also be necessary to move some bones:
- You will likely be under general anesthesia.
- The surgeon will make a cut inside the mouth along the lower gum. This gives the surgeon access to the chin bone.
- The surgeon uses a bone saw or chisel to make a second cut through the jaw bone. The jaw bone is moved to the desired position and wired or screwed in place.
- The cut is closed with stitches and a bandage is applied. Because the surgery is performed inside the mouth, you will not see any scars.
- The procedure takes less than an hour to approximately 3 hours.
Chin augmentation is commonly done at the same time as a nose job (rhinoplasty) or facial liposuction (when fat is removed from under the chin and neck).
Surgery to correct bite problems can be done at the same time as chin surgery.
- Why the Procedure Is Performed
Chin augmentation is usually done to balance the face by making the chin longer or bigger compared to the nose. The best candidates for chin augmentation are people with weak or receding chins (microgenia), but who have a normal dental bite.
Before your surgery, discuss your expectations about looking and feeling better with the plastic surgeon. Keep in mind that the desired result is improvement, not perfection.
- Risks
The most common complications of chin augmentation are:
- Bruising
- Movement of the implant
- Swelling
Other possible complications include:
- Damage to the teeth
- Loss of sensation
Rare side effects include:
- Blood clots
- Infection that can sometimes require removing the implant
- Pain that does not go away
- Numbness or other changes in skin sensation
Although most patients are happy with the outcome, poor cosmetic results that may require additional surgery include:
- Wounds that do not heal well
- Unpleasant scarring
- Asymmetry of the face
- Fluid that collects under the skin
- Irregular skin shape (contour)
Nicotine from smoking can delay healing.
- After the Procedure
You will feel some discomfort and soreness, which you can easily control with medication.
You may feel some numbness in your chin for up to 3 months, and a stretching sensation around your chin for 1 week. Most of the swelling will be gone by 6 weeks, depending on the type of procedure you had.
You might have to stick to a liquid or soft diet for at least a day or two.
You'll probably have the outside bandage removed within a week of surgery. You may be asked to wear a brace while you are sleeping for 4 - 6 weeks.
You can resume light activity the day of surgery. You should be able to return to work and your usual activities within 7 - 10 days. Your doctor or nurse will give you specific instructions.
- Outlook (Prognosis)
If the cut was made under the chin, the scar should not be noticeable.
Most implants are good for life. However, implants made from bone or fat tissue that was taken from your body will sometimes be reabsorbed.
Because you may have some swelling for months, you might not see the final appearance of your chin and jaw for 3 - 4 months.

The Healthiest Party Food Picks for Every Situation
Enough with the guilt! Just follow these experts tips to healthfully navigate your hors doeuvres options.
By Rosa Heyman
Wheat-based crackers vs. gluten-free chips
Don't be fooled—gluten-free doesn't necessarily mean healthier. Ansel breaks it down: "Often when manufacturers remove gluten from their foods, taste and texture are lost, too. To make up for this, they add more salt, sugar, and fat, so items end up higher in calories and less healthy overall."

I'm solely interested in the proportion of men and women here (provoked by another thread). 30-day limit.
And yes, the poll is in alphabetical order, for the avoidance of bias.
solitaire89 (25th January 2010)
Gees - that was quick! I only went to top up my glass!
Can a mod sticky this please? or it will be much (read: even) less representational (hence the time limit)
No option for transgendered?
mattx (25th January 2010), RingOfFlame (25th January 2010)
Nope. Not letting you sit on the fence again
The thing is ... it can be a bit like the census. If you leave a box open then people will right Jedi for a laugh ... if you put an extreme minority option then some will take the proverbial.
IME most transgender folk tend to live a goodly proportion of their life as a particular sex (YMMV) so keeping it at the two options isn't too bad.
tech_guy (25th January 2010)
I always fancy a change at weekends...
I hear Fridays are a good day.
I wonder what would happen if I went into work with a dress / skirt on ? especially tomorrow when the inspectors are in.....
The last post of this was 2010 - does it need to be a sticky?
Only the 2 options?

Cormega & Large Professor Detail Joint "Mega Philosophy" Album, Thoughts On New York Rap Scene
Remixes of "Industry" song featuring Craig G, Lord Jamar and others set to be released.
Cormega and Large Professor recently released their joint album, Mega Philosophy, and were asked about the significance of the collection given the current state of Hip Hop culture. "The culture needs it now more than ever because you got a lot of clowning going on, and you got a lot of grown men perpetuating childish behavior and it's too much ignorance going on," Cormega said during an interview with XXL.
Large Professor compared Hip Hop culture to Italian culture. "The foundation of [the culture] is being a little overshadowed right now by what's popular, which is cool, but I always equate it to how when you go to Italy, pizza is revered," he said. "With New York Hip Hop being overshadowed, it's just like this is crazy. When you listen to the radio, the majority of everything is different. We're just putting that out to the people to let them know that everybody is not swaying. Everyone is not trying to do trap music. We're sticking to the roots of what we do."
Cormega also said that he is planning on releasing two remixes to Mega Philosophy's lead single, "Industry." One remix is set to feature Cormega and Juice Crew members Craig G, Masta Ace, and Kool G Rap. The other is slated to feature Lord Jamar, Sadat X, Roc Marciano and Inspectah Deck.
The pair was also asked about their thoughts on young New York emcees.
"New York has no identity," Cormega said. "If you close your eyes and listen to the radio station in New York, you would think you was down south. And then they have playlists, so that means they're not giving the local talent or new artists a shot." Cormega had positive words to say about New York rapper Chris Rivers, the son of Big Pun. Rivers did an exclusive interview with HipHopDX in 2013.
Cormega was also asked about his one-time beef with Nas. "It's not really something I think about anymore," he said. "He has ears. When he brought me out in the Nokia Theater, that fucking crowd erupted," he said in reference to a 2006 performance at the then Nokia Theatre Times Square. "After that, it was common sense that people wanted us to do music, but we've never done music. It's not my fault. I'm not gonna be one of those artists that's stagnating waiting for something," Cormega said.
