MIAMI – Linda Close was grateful to learn she qualified for a sizable subsidy to help pay for her health insurance under the new federal law. But in the process of signing up for a plan, Close said her HealthCare.gov account showed several different subsidy amounts, varying as much as $180 a month.
Close, a South Florida retail worker in her 60s, said she got different amounts even though the personal information she entered remained the same. The Associated Press has reviewed Close's various subsidy amounts and dates to verify the information.
I am the kind of person the Affordable Care Act was written for: older, with a pre-existing (condition) and my previous plan was being canceled. I need it and I'm low-income, said Close, who has spent more than six months appealing her case. The government pledged to me that original tax credit amount. It's crazy.
Government officials say Close – and other consumers who have received different subsidy amounts – probably made some mistake entering personal details such as income, age and even ZIP codes. But The Associated Press interviewed insurance agents, health counselors and attorneys around the country who said they received varying subsidy amounts for the same consumers.
As consumers wait for a resolution, some have decided to go without health insurance because of the uncertainty while others who went ahead with policies purchased through the exchanges worry they are going to owe the government money next tax season.
These difficulties faced by Close and others are unfolding separately from the legal battle that flared this week when two federal appeals courts issued contradictory rulings on the subsidies in states that rely on the federal health exchange. The Obama administration says policyholders will keep getting financial aid as it sorts out the legal implications.
The government said consumers who received multiple subsidy estimates or disagree with their subsidy amount can appeal. The government hopes to resolve most of the appeals paperwork this summer. It's unclear how many people received or appealed varying subsidy amounts.
Still, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services spokesman Aaron Albright said consumers should feel confident that they received an accurate determination based on the information they provided in their application.
Federal health officials ruled on Close's appeal last month, giving her yet another subsidy estimate, which was within a few dollars of the one she is currently receiving, her attorney said.
Subsidies are important to making premiums under the new health care law affordable.
About 87 percent of the more than 8 million people who signed up for coverage under the law received subsidies, which are paid directly to the insurance company on behalf of individual consumers, according to data from federal health officials. Consumers pay the difference directly to the insurance company each month just as they do with private insurance.
Dallas insurance agent Jo Ann Charron said the different estimates her clients received varied as much as $100 a month.
Some of them got more of a subsidy, some of them got less, she said.
Since consumers aren't required to use the entire amount, Charron said she encouraged her clients to accept at least $50 less than the highest subsidy quoted to give them a financial cushion in case the government ultimately decides that the lower amount applies.
The differing subsidy calculations are part of a mountain of data conflicts affecting at least 2 million people who signed up for coverage in the new health insurance exchanges.
Most of the discrepancies involve important details about income, citizenship and immigration status – which affect eligibility and subsidies.
Some supporters of the law fear low-income consumers will owe the government money because their subsidy was incorrect. Federal health officials have repeatedly stated that the IRS will have the final say, regardless of what figures were generated on www.healthcare.gov.
The IRS can deduct the amount from consumers' tax refund or tell consumers they owe the government money. Or, conversely, consumers could receive money back if they took too low of a subsidy.

Traits Common To Irish People...:

Trolling SwordsmanRed hair is the stereotypical thing.
3 Seventy Seven, Sun, 13th Mar '11 7:07:11 PM from Somewhere in the US
A numberRed, or brown hair; freckles; pail skin; blue or green eyes are some of the common ones I can think of. As for facial structure, I'm not entirely sure, but I think I've also seen plenty of pictures with oval-shaped faces and high cheekbones.
I'm working on it.
Stray away from red hair. Most people in Ireland have dark brown hair. Blue eyes or brown eyes as well. Small, round faces. Mesomorphic body-structures. Pale skin. Can either have a lot of freckles or a metric shitload of freckles, though not necessarily on the face, the arms and legs being quite common places as well. And an odd little fact: it's been observed on both Irish people and Scots that the second-toe is as long as the second. This is called Celtic toe. I have no idea if this is as in-depth as you want, but I just find that fascinating.

Staying hydrated is very important while you're receiving breast cancer treatment. Experts say that drinking 64 to 96 ounces of water a day will keep you hydrated.

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. (AP) - A Pinellas Park firefighter and SWAT paramedic has resigned after he was accused of selling prescription drugs.
Pinellas Park spokesman Tim Caddell says 38-year-old James A. Comer submitted a handwritten resignation late Wednesday.
The Tampa Bay Times (http://bit.ly/1t8bgrf ) reports Comer was arrested Saturday on 16 counts of dealing or possessing drugs. His medical license was suspended and he was placed on paid leave, pending an investigation. Comer also worked part-time in the emergency room at Northside Hospital.
Reports show he was arrested in the hospital parking lot. Officials say he had 184 prescription pills, including OxyContin, morphine and hydromorphone.
Comer remained in the Pinellas County Jail on Thursday morning. It's not known whether he's hired a lawyer.

Fantastic Entry Level DAC/Amp
Pros: Clear, neutral and engaging sound. Surprisingly capable headphone amp.
Cons: For the price? Not much!
Bought this to use on the go and couldn't be happier. I've compared it to both the Dragonfly and Hegel Super and I can say that it comfortably trumps both those. The Dragonfly is good but music from the Explorer seems a bit more easy going and natural in comparison. And the Hegel Super is sadly disqualified for having a very high noise floor, on high impedance headphones you can't hear it but on everything else a very audible hiss is present.
I've also compared the Explorer to my Anedio D1 stationary DAC, and for a $300 portable device it does exceedingly well. As one could expect there is a performance gap here, and in comparison the Explorer comes across as more "mid-fi" rather than "high-fi" in flavor, but that's not always a bad thing depending on what you're after. It wasn't that long ago that this level of performance cost three times as much and only came with a power cord, for a USB powered portable device it is seriously impressive.
I also tried to power my HD650's from the Explorer and was very pleasantly surprised, I've heard several wall powed headphone amps that have done far worse! For such a puny device it has a very impressive drive and bass definition. If I was shopping for a entry level headphone setup a Meridian Explorer and HD650 would definitely be on my short list! It is hard to understand how well this little device actually drives these headphone until you've heard it. I suspect they must have used the HD650 as one of the development headphones, the synergy is that good.
Meridian has a long standing reputation in the Hi-Fi industry and the Meridian Explorer has been recieving a lot of praise in the press lately, but I'm happy to report that in my opinion all of it is well deserved! The combination of price, performance and form factor is very attractive and as an audio upgrade for a travel laptop it's almost a no-brainer. In short, this little device rocks and I have no problems recommending it.

Mini Distribution Puppy Linux 3.0 Released
The latest version of the Puppy Linux distribution, which weighs in at a mere 100MB, includes useful changes to the boot, configuration and shutdown scripts.
USB capabilities to the max: Puppy version 3.0 reduces the number of RAM backups to flash memory to one every 30 minutes. This reduction in write access enhances flash memory life. The Petget package manager can now install large packages directly in the pup_save file. This removes the need to reboot when the distribution runs out of memory. At the same time, the init script can handle far more boot parameters. Refer to the release notes for more details.
Puppy developer Barry Kauler points to binary compatibility with Slackware 12 thanks to Glibc 2.5, Gcc 4.1.2 and Gtk 2.10.13: "Most of the libraries in Puppy are now from Slackware." This means that Puppy Linux is extensible by adding Slackware packages, without the distribution becoming a Slackware clone. Puppy Linux owes its name to its size: it weighs in at just 100MB and is thus perfect for use on USB sticks.
Besides the new Puppy 3.0 ISO with kernel 18.104.22.168, the developer team offers a "retro" Puppy with an older 18.104.22.168 kernel. For the latest news on Puppy development, check out Kauler's blog.

Steve Wasserman—one of my all-time favorite panelists for his great anecdotes and brilliant, witty comments—moderated this discussion, which included Marie Arana (author, book review editor at the Washington Post), Alan Cheuse (author, critic for NPR), Eric Banks (editor of Bookforum), and Carlin Romano (book review editor for the Philadelphia Inquirer). In other words, a group of great reviewers and publications.
(Although I'm sure that someone in the blogosphere will mention how strange it is that no one from the NY Times was on this . . . In fact, to pour fuel on the fire, I want to point out that no one from the NY Times even attended the conference . . . )
This panel was a bit loose and strange, making it tough to summarize in a meaningful way, so I'm just going to stick to the controversial points. . .
The conversation began simply enough with Wasserman asking whether or not the panelists give special consideration (good or bad) to literature in translation when deciding what to review.
The only person who claimed that they did was Romano, pointing out that he works for a U.S. paper in a very American city, and, aware of his audience, is very conscious of reviewing foreign books. He also said that there is a lot of blame to spread around as to why translations don't get reviewed, which is something I think is absolutely true. Publishers generally put a lot more marketing muscle into promoting their American authors, setting the self-fulfilling "translations don't get reviewed" prophecy into motion.
Marie Arana talked about Michael Dirda's review of War and Peace and how she received several dyspeptic letters about the fact that Dirda avoided commenting on the quality of the new translation in his piece. She explained that he felt uncomfortable judging it since he can't read the book in Russian, and that it's difficult to find people capable of evaluating translations.
(Personally, I don't think it's that hard to find someone able to evaluate a translation, and I like reviews that comment on the quality of the translation. Although unless a translation is getting bashed, comments on its quality are generally about one adjective long.)
What's really weird is that all four publications claimed that 10-20% of their reviews were of translations (much higher than the 3% of total books published in the States), yet the authors most frequently mentioned during this discussion were Ha Jin and Junot Diaz, both of whom write in English . . .
Alan Cheuse claimed that the biggest problem facing translations in the United States is that in other countries, the most famous authors are also translators, but that we don't have people like that here. (He then quipped that Marie quit writing and editing to translate Latin American fiction for the next twenty years.)
Initially I was a bit put off by this, jumping to the conclusion that he meant that there's a lack of talented translators here in the States (which is complete bullshit). But what I think he was getting at was the fact that aside from a few notable exceptions, translators are ignored, whereas in other countries, there's a cult of celebrity around the author-translator drawing a lot more attention to these titles. It seems true that translations by "superstar translators" like Edith Grossman and Pevear and Volokhonsky do receive more attention in the press, so maybe publishers should draw more attention to their translators. . .
This logic runs counter to the current situation though . . . In attempting to get more copies into B&N (and elsewhere), publishers often try and hide the fact that a book is translated. The translator's name is hidden on the back flap, on the copyright page, appearing in a tiny, nearly unreadable font. But if translators were more celebrated, publishers may be able to create a situation in which the translator has as much marketing power and name recognition as the author.
Generally speaking, this tension is reflected throughout the industry in the paradoxical tug-of-war in wanting to highlight translations as something different and worthy of special attention, yet at the same time believing that these books should be treated like any other book and not "ghettoized."
Eric Banks was great on the panel, in part because Bookforum is one of the best publications in the U.S. when it comes to covering a wide array of international fiction and nonfiction. (He did mention that he felt like nonfiction in translation got a worse deal than fiction in translation, citing the recent Bookforum review of Geert Mak's In Europe as one of the only reviews that book received.)
Finally, Carlin Romano stirred things up a bit more by claiming that one of the big problems with publishing was the fact that the hiring process in New York is incredibly lazy and that publishers should be hiring more people from MA and Ph.D. programs—which pissed off a number of people in the audience, including some of the most high-profile publishers and editors in America, many of whom only have BA degrees, yet have impeccable taste in literature.
Overall, this panel was a bit weird. And I wish we would've had a chance to talk about the "lemming syndrome," and the way that most book review publications feel an obligation to review the same books—those ten or twelve titles that everyone seems to be reading at the same time. This situation really limits the number of "slots" available to translations (or more experimental English writers), most of which are then taken up by retranslations rather than by reviews of authors translated into English for the first time. Such as War and Peace one of the only translations discussed by this panel . . .

Her senior year, Taylor dropped basketball to focus solely on track. "In basketball I wasn't able to work on all the things I was able to work on all the things that I needed to work on," Taylor said. "I was able to focus on the smaller things that make a good runner."It almost wasn't enough. Taylor finished fifth in the area meet, which would have ended her season.However, a scratch of one of the runners who finished ahead of her gave her another chance, and she capitalized. "It's a humbling experience," she said. "Everything I could imagine."That experience goes beyond her individual accomplishments as well. As the team's standout captain, her performance helped push Mansfield Summit's whole girls team to a new level, finishing in a tie with McKinney North for fourth place with 41 points. Summit went from a ninth-place finish with just 24 points in last year's regional meet to fourth place Saturday, their largest leap in four years."These seniors were freshman when I came in and they've stuck together and fought and fought and worked hard for four years," Summit coach Shannon Utley said.Summit's girls season extends for only Taylor. Utley said that responsibility couldn't lie in better hands."She's a hard worker," Utley said. "She's a great student. She's our team leader far and above, on and off the track. We're really excited she's going to get that opportunity to go and compete." Seguin sends oneArlington Seguin coach Katra Ridgeway believed Tonea Marshall had the potential for success in track since Marshall ran in sixth-grade field days. Saturday, that potential took the next step as Marshall, a sophomore, qualified for state with her fastest time ever of 13.73 in the 100-meter hurdles. Marshall finished second overall. Marshall also credits three years of gymnastics competition when she was younger. But Ridgeway said it's simply about her speed."She's extremely flexible, but it's her speed that gets her over there," Ridgeway said. "It's the sprinting in between each hurdle that allows her to run so fast. Flexibility is really good, but she has a lot of speed."Marshall was also a part of Seguin's 4x200 relay, which took third place, earning a provisional berth to the state meet.If Seguin's 4x200 time of 1:41.27 ends up being the fastest among other third-place finishers in the state's other three regional meets, the relay team will advance to Austin.

I can say just by only reading the Planeswalker, who ever goes against this deck, will die very soon.
w00t another Ezuri EDH, I have one too :-)
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/elf-ball-now-in-edh/ if you need ideas. Good luck with the deck although I warn you people tend not to like you when you can kill a player a turn via overrunning...
Nice! I have an elf EDH too using Nath of the Gilt-Leaf as a commander... LOVE it! A couple of ideas: Immaculate Magistrate + Joraga Warcaller works a lot like a Coat of Arms . I found that I liked Viridian Shaman more than Viridian Zealot , especially with a Wirewood Symbiote out in play to use it over and over. Also, I found also that my power increased a lot when I added Quest for Renewal for the untap mechanics. one use of Nullmage Shepherd activates it, and then my opponents are loosing an artifact and enchantment during each of their turns... so that was fun. Love the deck! let me know what you think of mine! (Nath's Wrath)
I suggest adding Primitive Etchings to this deck, it's really good card draw.

Sosa's 439-foot drive into the left-field seats leading off the sixth inning off Byrd (2-1) made Jacobs Field the 44th major league ballpark in which he has homered. That broke a tie with Ken Griffey Jr. and Fred McGriff for the most in a big league career.
The only stadiums currently in use that the 38-year-old outfielder has not hit a homer are RFK Stadium in Washington and the new Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
Sosa hit his sixth of the season in the eighth against Tom Mastny to move closer to joining Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays in the 600 homers club. It was his 69th career multihomer game.
Byrd left after yielding a leadoff single in the seventh to Gerald Laird. The right-hander allowed three runs and eight hits, walked one and struck out three. The Rangers twice put a runner at third base with none out and failed to score against Byrd.
Trot Nixon's two-run homer, his first, capped Cleveland's three-run first off Kameron Loe (1-1).
Angels 11, Devil Rays 3
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Bartolo Colon struck out 11 and Vladimir Guerrero homered during a five-run first inning for the Angels.
Colon (2-0) allowed four hits in seven innings, including a two-run homer by Carlos Pena in the fourth. The 2005 AL Cy Young Award winner had plenty of gas left at the end of his second start this season, striking out the side in the seventh and reaching 94 mph with his 103rd and final pitch. His strikeout total was his highest since June 4, 2005, when he fanned 11 in six innings of a 13-6 victory at Boston.
Jae Seo (1-2) lasted 1 1-3 innings for Tampa Bay. He was charged with six runs and seven hits.
Twins 1, Royals 0, 11 innings
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Mike Redmond hit a run-scoring single in the 11th inning and Minnesota snapped a four-game losing streak.
Justin Morneau and Jason Tyner had back-to-back singles off Todd Wellemeyer (0-1) with one out in the 11th to put runners on first and second. Redmond, who finished 2-for-5, then hit a line drive to right-center field to bring home Morneau.
Juan Rincon (1-0) pitched a scoreless 11th for Minnesota, which also ended a four-game home losing streak.
Twins star Torii Hunter received three stitches to close a cut on the inside of his mouth after he was hit by a pitch from Zack Greinke in the second inning. Hunter said he would play Friday when Minnesota visits Detroit.
Mariners 4, Athletics 2
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Jose Lopez hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning and the Mariners beat the A's for the fourth time in five meetings this season.
Richie Sexson hit an RBI double in the seventh that snapped an 0-for-20 streak, giving Seattle an unearned insurance run. The Mariners went 2-17 against Oakland last season.
Lopez, the Mariners' No. 9 hitter, connected against Kiko Calero (0-2) to put Seattle ahead 3-2. The Mariners won their third straight following a six-game skid.
Miguel Batista (2-2) went 5 1-3 innings for Seattle, allowing two runs and five hits. He struck out six and walked two. J.J. Putz recorded the final five outs for his second save in as many chances.

Product Review: AZO Cranberry Tablets
Has the cranberry become the new cure all? It may seem that way when the introduction of another product is added to the list of its therapeutic treatments. AZO Cranberry Tablets are now being touted as an all-natural yet powerful form of the fruit and primarily used to promote optimum bladder health. However, like any dietary supplement, there are advantages and disadvantages to consider before using them. AZO Cranberry tablets are no exception. This small, odorless and taste-free pill is often recommended for daily use as a preventative measure to harmful infections, but not without a few drawbacks.
Some quick facts:
Primary ingredient: 450 mg. natural cranberry powder
Gluten free nutritional supplement
50 tablets per bottle
Recommended adult dosage: 2 to 6 tablets per day
Caution: Contains lactose
Manufactures Suggested Price: $6.99/bottle
Since each tablet contains only a trace amount of sugar, no caffeine and a meager 1 calories per pill, it stacks up pretty when compared to an 8-ounce glass of cranberry juice. The popular but tart breakfast staple can contain as much as 136 calories and as many as 30 grams of sugar.
On the other hand, if you've ever experienced a painful urinary tract or bladder infection, you may be uncomfortable enough to head to the nearest pharmacy. AZO Cranberry Tablets can help provide relief in treating bladder and urinary tract infections. How? Because the cranberry contains properties that have been proven to "unstick" harmful bacteria from the urinary tract and bladder walls.
If you're in need of more evidence then look no further than the testimony of over 80,000 pharmacists. According to the last issue of the Pharmacists' Times 12th Annual Survey newsletter and press release, they selected AZO Cranberry Tablets over their competition by a margin of over 5 to 1. The product received an impressive reviewer rating of four out of five stars on Amazon.com.
Could this super-dose of the fruit be too much of a good thing? Possibly. It is rumored that there's a connection between the tablets and kidney stones, however, that story is being spread widely yet remains unconfirmed. I couldn't find one source to give any credibility to it. Another rumor suggested the pill may contain harmful dyes. Again, this accusation could not be confirmed.
The verdict? Carefully weigh the pros and cons as you would with any over-the-counter product. Personally though, if I were faced with the prospect of a bladder problem, I would take these cranberry tablets without hesitation. They have the endorsement of many trusted pharmacists and they're reasonably priced.
Of course, the usual FDA precautions should be followed: AZO Cranberry tablets, like any dietary supplement, are not regulated by the FDA for effectiveness or safety. And as with any supplement, you should consult your doctor before beginning this product.

so for the two of us, eating healthy (no crispy chicken, just fresh chicken breast etc) a months food and household shopping would probably be £150 ish.
Living in London I'm finding myself shopping daily which really is going to hurt the budget rather than a big shop.
Also tending to get veg from stalls rather than shops at the minute.
Blimey - what do people buy?
When all the family are home (3 adult children) my weekly shop is about £130. That includes household goods. We don't buy alcohol though so maybe that helps?
@Butters: buying fruit and veg from stalls is probably cheaper
I can't be bothered fully breaking it down. But I pay half of everything with my gilfriend (mortgage, house insurance, car insurance, life insurance, phone/ tv/ bb, gas/ electricity, tv license, water bill, council tax and all FOOD/ CLEANING etc) and it I put £580 into a joint account per month. We spend on average £40 a week on food/ anything from supermarket incl cat food etc.
Then on top of that account I pay my own petrol and mobile phone bill etc.
Also, I don't think the cost is directly proportional to the amount of people, for example if it costs 2 adults £100 per week, I don't think it's going to cost 4 adults £200 per week. I think is the case because a) there's more people to eat the leftovers, or the stuff that goes 'off' quickly so there's less wastage and b) a meal can seem to stretch further when it needs to - as an example we have home made meatballs a lot and find the amount we make fills us nicely. Yet we had a mate round unexpectantly, and still cooked the same amount and it went round all of us, filling us sufficiently.
Between me and my girlfriend we pay;
Mortgage, Electricity, water, tv license, internet/phone, mobile phone x2, shopping (food & cleaning), contents insurance, building insurance, cinema subscription x2, LoveFilm subscription x2, motorbike insurance, council tax, life insurance.
Think that's about it, comes to around £800 a month between us.
Obviously if we eat out, go to pub, visit friends, travel etc then that's extra, generally I get £1200 a month and have about £300 left for savings each month, but we do perhaps spend a but too much on eating out and going places!

Astral Chart: The Wheel of Good Fortune
You have undoubtedly already seen this wheel which is filled with cabalistic symbols that look like mathematics signs. They are called "astral themes". Decoding the signs of a theme is a complex exercise. Here are some of the keys:
The wheel is a cartography of the sky at the moment of your birth, drawn in function of the date, hour and place. The symbols represent the position of the planets and the signs while the twelve divisions of the circle represent the houses. These symbols define the Ascendant (the determining factor in how you behave in society and the Descendant (the determining factor in your close relationships). The planets present in the different houses of your birth chart incarnate your energies and participate in forming your personality.
Each sun sign is defined by an energy, a quality and an element.
The Energies: a sign is either yang (extrovert) or yin (introvert). They are also either masculine or feminine in nature.
The Qualities: cardinal, fixed or mutable, the quality evokes the position of the sign in a season and the resulting activity. A sign that in the beginning of a season is cardinal. Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn thus favor the development of a personality that likes to take action. An astral chart that has a lot of cardinal influences predisposes the person to being dynamic. A sign that is anchored into a season is fixed. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius are thus tenacious and hostile to change. A person who has a lot of fixed signs in their astral chart will be like this. A sign at the end of a season is mutable. Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces thus favor transition and the ability to adapt.
Elements: Finally, each sign is associated with an element which reveals the temperament of someone. Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) predisposes a person to being passionate, courageous and idealistic. Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) favors common sense and a talent for organization. Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) reveals intellectual qualities and sociability. Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) amplifies emotional sensitivity and intuition.
In addition to the simple sun sign which is defined by the position of the Sun, the planets and signs in your astral chart at the moment of your birth also contribute to revealing your personality traits. So, a person who has a lot of water signs in their chart will undoubtedly be very intuitive even if they are a Capricorn. It goes without saying that astral charts are so complex that each one is different: we are all completely unique!
