The Savaged Hawkman: What latest DC casualty says about New 52
According to recent convention scuttlebutt, DC Comics is apparently canceling its latest Hawkman series, the New 52-launched Savage Hawkman, perhaps as early as May's Issue 20.
That is not the least bit surprising, really, given the publisher's historical difficulty in keeping readers interested in Hawkman, and given the way in which the title and the character were served by the line-wide reboot and the accompanying creative-team chaos. It's too bad, though, given how easily DC could have simply published the sort of Hawkman title the 21st-century super-comic audience would support, rather than The Savage Hawkman.
The series launched in September 2011 along with the other 51 new series comprising DC's New 52 initiative, featuring a rebooted continuity for the then 71-year-old hero and a redesigned costume featuring more armor and pointed edges (most notably a set of Wolverine-like claws frequently waved in the direction of the reader on the covers). The creative team consisted of artist-turned-writer/artist Tony S. Daniel, who was just handling the writing, and Philip Tan, who was providing the art.
The women of the DC Universe, by Peter Nguyen
Artist Peter Nguyen takes on DC Comics superheroines in a terrific print for New York Comic Con that includes everyone from Batwoman and Big Barda to Wonder Woman and Miss Martian. "There are some women who I left out I am sure but for the sake of sanity let's just say they are the little dots in the back," Nguyen writes on his blog. "Or off world fighting a greater threat. I had a ton of fun with this one and i hope you guys like it. I added a cosmic treadmill for fun so we can get at least one Flash rep in there amongst all the fliers, glider, and rock floating riders."
See the full image below, and check out Nguyen's work process on his blog.
DC partners with Sonic Drive-In for Justice League Tots
Have you heard? Some maniacal super villain has kidnapped the Justice League and turned them into… tater tots? Don't worry, super friends, it's all part of a unique promotion DC is doing with the fast food chain Sonic Drive-In.
Available "for a limited time only" with purchase of one of Sonic's Wacky Pack Kids' Meals, these "Super Tots" come in 10 varieties: Superman, Clark Kent, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Flash, Hawkgirl, Aquaman, Supergirl, Bizarro, and Plastic Man. Batman and Green Lantern are conspicuously absent, but I'd chalk that up to the adult world of licensing agreements and what not given their recent movies.
This isn't the first time comic heroes have shown up in fast food kids meals, but it's arguably one of the most deliciously cute ones in recent memory. Check out all the little guys after the jump, courtesy of Sonic.
Grumpy Old Fan | Kiss this Day goodbye, the sweetness and the sorrow
Once dead, twelve heroes and villains were resurrected by a white light expelled from deep within the center of the Earth. The reason behind their rebirth remains a mystery. But it will not be a mystery for long. This is the Brightest Day.
So reads the mission statement which began each issue of the year-long, twice-monthly, just-concluded Brightest Day miniseries (written by Geoff Johns and Peter Tomasi, drawn by various artists). One might therefore be forgiven for thinking that BD would have used this premise to mold those characters into an imperfect ensemble, in order to explore collectively what "life after death" meant in a superhero context.
Instead, BD farmed out almost half its potential cast to other titles, thereby transforming itself (rather quickly) into a multi-headed Rebirth-style rejuvenation. From there it reintroduced readers to Aquaman, Hawkman and Hawkgirl, Firestorm, J'Onn J'Onzz, and Deadman, and used them in turn to reintroduce … well, you probably know by now, but let's wait a while to talk about that.

Scarlett Johannson Charity Donation to Sri Lanka
Actress Scarlett Johansson, star of recently released The Nanny Diaries, has made a large charity donation to a school in Sri Lanka.
Miss Johansson was moved after visiting kids from the Dalit community earlier in the year with Oxfam, and recently made the donation hoping that it would provide for the poverty stricken school and community for at least three years.
Scarlet Johansson, in between working on a number of upcoming films including Mary Queen of Scots, as well as making thetrip and charity donation to Sri Lanka will visit US troops for the non-profit organization USO.

Collection Tactics of ACE Cash Express, Inc. – Search for WitnessesSaturday, January 30th, 2010
Our firm recently resolved a few cases against ACE Cash Express, Inc. ("ACE Cash Express") related its alleged telephone collection tactics. ACE Cash Express attempts to collect alleged payday loan debts allegedly owed by consumers. We currently represent Texas consumers in twelve (12) lawsuits against Ace Cash Express related to collection calls.
We have obtained evidence of several actions and/or tactics used by one or more purported ACE Cash Express agents and/or employees when calling Texas consumers about allegedly past-due debts. We express no opinion as to whether one or all actions and/or tactics listed below are proper or improper. Instead, we are seeking information regarding each to determine how to best represent our clients. Specifically, we have noted the following (in substance) by likely ACE Cash Express employees:
- Representing that they are conducting an investigation
- Representing that there is an "active case" involving a consumer and/or that a "case" had a certain number (when no lawsuit had apparently been filed), and/or that a case would be filed
- One representation that an employee has "case workers"
- Representations that a consumer's "case" had been turned over to the caller's "office"
- Representation that a "case" could be "dismissed," when no lawsuit had apparently ben filed
- Allegations of consumers writing a "hot check," NSF check, and/or "bad check"
- An allegation that a civil judgment could be taken against a consumer
- An allegation that a consumer's wages could be garnished
- Allegations about consumers paying "restitution" by paying monies toward satisfaction of an alleged debt
- Representations to consumers that they should retain attorneys
- Requests to take a "statement" and/or a recorded statement
- Representations by a caller that a consumer was no longer "in collection(s)" (when calling about an alleged past-due debt)
- Requests to consumers that consumers transfer the call by Ace Cash Express to consumers' supervisors and/or consumers' employers' human resources department
- Allegations that Ace Cash Express would schedule personal contact at a consumer's place of employment to verify demographic information
We are seeking witnesses who reside in Texas and who might be able to corroborate and/or shed light on these actions and/or tactics. It is our understanding that the ACE Cash Express telephone collection operation is in Irving, Texas, but that calls are placed to cities across Texas. If you possess information which might assist in investigating and/or pursuing these cases, please contact one of the following attorneys at (214) 670-9989:

The thing holding back electric
cars is battery technology/price. Batteries are too expensive,
don't hold enough charge and don't charge fast enough. If
they came up with a cheaper better battery tomorrow,
No one would buy gasoline powered cars anymore. So in
five years and ten years how advanced will batteries be?
I agree with Brian H. You can get odd results by not including every factor. For example it is easy to get over 100% efficiency from simple heat pump if you count in only the energy you put in and what it produces.
I just can not stand going from the subline to the totally ridiculous.
Batteries are NOT the answer. I have great concerns about the future of battery power when an airplane catches fire in flight. Luckily it did not go up in a puff of smoke but Lithuim is not the answer either. Lithium is a flammable metal. A lithium fire can actually feed on water. I am actually concerned that charging a lithium battery too fast could actually generate too much heat and result in another Hindenburg or worse.
Now lets get even more ridiculous. Since the earth has a magnetic field, would it not be possible to generate electricity by simply traveling across the invisible lines of flux and generate electriciry.
Super ridiculous, why not add a flux capacitor and harness the power of a lightening storm and generate the 1.21 gigawatt to power it and travel back in time in a Delorian. :-)
On another thgought, I want to appologize for mistakingly calling it a gull wing door instead of a Falcon wing door. While I'm on it, why did they not put a Delorian door in the front doors of the car.
@gstevens1952 - airplanes have jet fuel on board, actually tons of it. Jet fuel is hoghly flammable ? Think about TWA800, Concorde, and many others. You are OK to sit on tons of highly flammable jet fuel but concerned about a battery. Not that I am saying batteries should burn... You are just forgetting a much larger danger.
It is fun to dream, and who knows about capacitor systems or whatever, but here are four realistic battery scenarios that likely will enhance the electrical driving experience for us shortly:
1. Lower cost. Probably not that much lower for awhile. At least not higher, like most things>
2. More capacity. A 20% or so increase seems likely. This would translate into a longer range, but more importantly it would allow the current range to be driven at the CA average highway speed of 70+mph. I ain't driving my high performance $70K car at 55!
2. More supercharging stations. Lots more. Likely there will have to be partnerships. In any case it is simply a matter of money, not technology.
3. Faster charging. This has been hinted at and likely can be expected. Sure would like to see a ten-minute charge! But...probably not that dramatic for awhile.
So, if we can recharge anywhere and do it quickly, then we don't have to wait around for some magical electric breakthroughs in order to drive anywhere and without issues. Sure, someday the 500 mile battery will come, but half that range is fine without a technological breakthrough if the other improvements are made.
I think this is realistic and is actually more exciting to me than the futuristic stuff that may not happen for a long time.
The clip I saw was on the water cavitation pump, or water hammer. An independent observer could not prove, but also could not disprove, over-unity of the device. Interesting concept, I certainly know there are silly perpetual motion-type claims that turn out to be false.
Genius released a mouse with an ultra capacitor August 2012.DX_ECO. Graphene lithium ion battery which charges in 3 minutes and lasts 4 hours. The 85kW version would crack the anode and they are working on fixing the crystalline structure. When fixed an 85kW car battery will charge in 15 minutes 100%. An automotive consortium has already set the charging standard for this technology, including Ford, BMW, VAG, GM, Chrysler and Daimler. A solution is possible this year. It may also increase ion density and therefore allow more range.
Just for anal retentiveness, it's spelled Delorean, not Delorian. And the actual name is De Lorean but rarely spelled that way, after John De Lorean.
Charging time is no issue for several lithium-ion battery types. There are 60C RC batteries out there, that means they can discharge in just one minute. Recharges nearly as fast too.
Problem is that charging 85kWh in one minute requires 5.1 MW of power. With 400 or so volts that is 12750 Amps. You can't move a cable that is required to transfer that amount of amps.
What if the cable automatically came up from below and connected to a DC plug on the battery using laser-guiding or something similar? The platform could be mobile for proper alignment, therefore not requiring anything too special from the MS driver. Might SpaceX already use this technology to align its module with the ISS during docking.
I think Tesla is on the right way to develop this car further.
They are trying to make it as energy efficient as possible. The X series will have a permanent 4 wheel drive driven by 4 motors which will give it more traction. A lot of energy is lost with to little traction and grip. So instead of trying to harness energy that is wasted by moving the vehicle forward they reduce the energy wasted from the start by designing the car energy efficient. I guess if you don't use the 200 Watt Sound system, fancy electronics and use LED's with Lenses for Headlights this would increase the range somewhat.
The logical thing for Tesla to do is to get sponsor for the
Formula E championship that might get of the ground in a few years.
This would help them with the research into aerodynamics in the series which they can use for the production cars.
The nice thing about sponsors is that they pay for the research and all you have to do is advertise they products.
I hope they win the first Formula E championship.
They deserve it since all other Manufacturer are to chicken shit to do what they did.
The MX design is given on the website. One or two motors, not 4. You're thinking of Benz with its $500K design.

David Bowie
The multi-talented and chameleonic Bowie (he was born David Jones, but changed to Bowie after Monkee Davy Jones hit the big time) got his start as a singer/songwriter in the UK, scoring a modest hit in 1969 with "Space Oddity," a tune that was to be much bigger in subsequent releases. With a characteristic talent for anticipating pop-culture trends, he had soon transformed himself into an androgynous, glitter-encrusted, highly theatrical space alien, achieving huge success on both sides of the Atlantic with his Ziggy Stardust persona. Ziggy would give way to several other incarnations, including the surreal Diamond Dog and the scary Thin White Duke; along the way Bowie would experiment with a wide variety of styles and collaborate with a who's who including John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Brian Eno and Queen. He produced a number of noteworthy albums for other artists, including Lou Reed, Mott the Hoople (whose hit "All the Young Dudes" was a Bowie composition), and Iggy Pop. He's also won acclaim for stage and screen work, including the title roles in "The Man Who Fell to Earth" and "Elephant Man," as well as his performance as his late friend Andy Warhol in "Basquiat." He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.

The Pricing has Been Released for the C7 Corvette Stingray and the Base Model Sees an Expected Small Jump Over Its C6 Predecessor
If you were putting off purchasing a Corvette in anticipation of the next-generation 2014 Stingray, you'll need to start searching the sofa cushions for a few extra dollars. The C7 Stingray Corvette will see its price point start at $51,995–including $995 for delivery–which is a jump of almost $2000 over the base C6 Corvette. The C7 Stingray Convertible will start at $56,995.
Of course, this price is relatively tame when the potential Corvette buyer considers everything they're getting. Original expectation was that the C7 would actually start at a higher price point, considering all of the innovations that the next generation vehicle is coming outfitted with. With a revamped interior, a more comprehensive and impressive vehicular construction–featuring carbon fiber hood and an all-aluminum frame construction for weight savings of over 100 pounds–, choice between seven-speed manual transmission and a rev-matching six-speed automatic, and a new and exciting LT1 engine which puts the C7 Corvette's HP output in the same performance range as the incredible C6 Z06, the C7 Stingray Corvette could have come with a much higher price tag.
However, the base price tag doesn't include much beyond the basics–which isn't to malign those basics, as they're certainly incredible and no C7 owner will feel like their vehicle is underequipped–which include standard features like the Chevy MyLink eight-inch touch-screen infotainment system complete with a Bose nine-speaker stereo system, Sirius satellite radio and Bluetooth connectivity. Those prospective Corvette owners looking to get the gorgeous new C7 Stingray leather interiors which have been much hyped online, however, will have to pay a little extra. Options such as the leather interior package–coming in at $8,005–, the $2,495 Recaro sport seats, $1,995 carbon-fiber roof panel and $595 red Corvette brake calipers can push the price of the C7 to more than $70,000.
A fully outfitted C7 Stingray Corvette was on display at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, and that model would have carried a price tag of $73,360. That particular vehicle included navigation, color heads-up display, and heated and cooled Napa leather seats. Those opting for an even nicer, and higher performing C7 Corvette, can also include the Z51 package. The Z51 Performance Package will provide the outfitted C7 Corvette with the highly celebrated Magnetic Ride Control suspension system seen on the C6 ZR1 and Camaro ZL1, active transmission cooling systems, and 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels with larger brakes, for an extra $2,800.
"The Corvette Stingray delivers a combination of performance, design and technology that very few manufacturers can match, and none can even come close for $52,000," said Chris Perry, vice president, Chevrolet marketing.
If you're looking to pick up at C7 Corvette Stingray of your own, vehicles will begin hitting showroom floors in September.

I have a buddy in Georgia who has an 18 year old son. His son (I will call him Jim for this post) has been into hunting, fishing, outdoor sports all his life. The boy can shoot. I've seen a video of him taking out a milk jug from a half mile away with an AR (I believe it was an AR). He was home schooled.
Anyway... he has been attending the Regional Police Academy in his area. When they first started, the rest of the guys in his class, some whom are jailers and already in law enforcement, gave him a hard time. The instructor told him that they have "never" had an 18 year old to graduate.
It was rough for him the first week. He had to retake one of the tests and it kinda made him feel like he wouldn't make it. Then came range day.
He didn't even use his own weapon, and shot a 300. They told him that only 3 people have ever done that. He was the third. He took "Top Gun" for his class.
The guys started treating him differently after that. Anyway, few more weeks of class, he has made it through with no problems and is now the first 18 year old to be graduating from that Police Academy.
He has a good head on his shoulders. I'm real proud to know him and I know he will make a good cop.
I just wanted to share this with the forum.

Finally, a real guitar that can control Rock Band and Guitar Hero
Rock Band and Guitar Hero are lots of fun, but apart from posing and looking cool, pushing colored square buttons has very little in common with actual guitar playing. Now there's a real guitar controller that can help you to make that transition from posing to actually playing.
We looked at an early version of Seven45 Studio's Power Gig guitar back in March, but now they've added this very cool looking handmade version that nobody should be embarrassed to be seen with. Power Gig's guitar does have some subtle colored buttons in the side of the neck that you can "play" just like with those cheap plastic button controllers, but it also lets you get real with six strings, and a pickup so you can connect it to a regular guitar amp.
Ideally, Seven45 Studios wants you to use the guitar with their own answer to Rock Band and Guitar Hero called Power Gig: Rise of the SixString, but it does work fine with most versions of the competing games. What's cool with the Power Gig software is that it recognizes where your fingers are on the fret board, and scores you based on your ability to shape the chords and play the right notes. Until the long promised Guitar Rising software actually gets to market, this must be the new king of guitar gaming.
The main catch I see is that the guitar is also priced like the real thing at $250, plus another $60 for the game. The guitar is currently available for pre-order in both PS3 and X-Box 360 versions for $250. Both are said to be "limited editions", so don't dawdle if you're interested.

A hot debate in the career field these days is whether LinkedIn profiles will eventually replace traditional resumes. While that might not happen in the very near future, it's clear that a complete, well written profile is an essential tool for job searchers, and that LinkedIn is increasingly being seen as a valuable under-the-radar recruiting tool. Why, then, do we meet so many people at the Library who open LinkedIn accounts and never complete them or capitalize on their potential?
The most obvious reason is time. Our experience is that it takes a minimum of six to eight hours to get your profile to a point where you wouldn't be nervous if a potential employer had a peek. The other consideration is learning yet another social media platform and understanding all the components. That's why the Library's books on LinkedIn are so popular, along with a multitude of online tutorials, blogs and websites such as Mashable. These sites can help explain features and changes, and offer tips on making your profile stand out and be found,
One of my favourite blogs is Viveka von Rosen's (formerly of Edmonton), who was recently named one of Forbes Top 10 Most Influential Women, and is the author of LinkedIn Marketing: An Hour A Day. She also has a website full of advice, including a recent article featuring her Best 23 LinkedIn Tips. One tip that stands out is her reminder to include all your expertise, publications and certifications in your profile. Many people forget to reflect and look back on all their key training, often because they decide it isn't relevant to include in their resume. But that is the beauty of LinkedIn: it can be a master resume that fully represents all the time and energy you have invested into your life and career.
Overwhelmed? Remember that Calgary Public Library has a variety of programs on LinkedIn, ranging from our popular two hour introduction on social networking and job search, and our more intensive five hour course. Help is always at hand - so finish what you start in 2013.

Parental compliance - an emerging problem in Liverpool community child health surveys 1991-2006
- Gibby Koshy,
- Bernard J Brabin
- … show all 2 hide
Compliance is a critical issue for parental questionnaires in school based epidemiological surveys and high compliance is difficult to achieve. The objective of this study was to determine trends and factors associated with parental questionnaire compliance during respiratory health surveys of school children in Merseyside between 1991 and 2006.
Four cross-sectional respiratory health surveys employing a core questionnaire and methodology were conducted in 1991, 1993, 1998 and 2006 among 5-11 year old children in the same 10 schools in Bootle and 5 schools in Wallasey, Merseyside. Parental compliance fell sequentially in consecutive surveys. This analysis aimed to determine the association of questionnaire compliance with variation in response rates to specific questions across surveys, and the demographic profiles for parents of children attending participant schools.
Parental questionnaire compliance was 92% (1872/2035) in 1991, 87.4% (3746/4288) in 1993, 78.1% (1964/2514) in 1998 and 30.3% (1074/3540) in 2006. The trend to lower compliance in later surveys was consistent across all surveyed schools. Townsend score estimations of socio-economic status did not differ between schools with high or low questionnaire compliance and were comparable across the four surveys with only small differences between responders and non-responders to specific core questions. Respiratory symptom questions were mostly well answered with fewer than 15% of non-responders across all surveys. There were significant differences between mean child age, maternal and paternal smoking prevalence, and maternal employment between the four surveys (all p<0.01). Out-migration did not differ between surveys (p=0.256) with three quarters of parents resident for at least 3 years in the survey areas.
Methodological differences or changes in socio-economic status of respondents between surveys were unlikely to explain compliance differences. Changes in maternal employment patterns may have been contributory. This analysis demonstrates a major shift in community parental questionnaire compliance over a 15 year period to 2006. Parental questionnaire compliance must be factored into survey designs and methodologies.

CARE and Girl Scouts Believe that Every Girl Can Become a Force for Change
CARE, Girl Scouts of the USA, Seventeen magazine and The Documentary Group set into motion The Power of Girls, a ground-breaking partnership that will connect girls worldwide and mobilize them around important global issues, including the critical role that girls' education and leadership plays in addressing poverty. The Power of Girls puts girls at the heart of a conversation about the most important issues of our time.
"Every girl can become a force for change," says Dr. Helene D. Gayle, president and CEO of CARE, a humanitarian organization that fights global poverty by empowering women and girls. "To unlock her potential, she must have the opportunity to go to school and build the skills and confidence needed to meet life's challenges head on. Education and leadership skills provide a foundation from which all girls can grow and excel – whether they live in Manhattan or Mali."
At the heart of The Power of Girls is a pledge that urges American girls to learn about issues affecting girls worldwide and to share their findings with friends. The pledge, which can be found at www.thepowerofgirls.com, places a particular focus on raising awareness of the barriers that prevent girls from going to school in developing countries, including lack of funding for schools and supplies; gender discrimination; and chronic poverty that pushes girls into the workforce at an early age. The goal is to collect 50,000 pledges by International Women's Day 2011 (March 8).
"One of the great things about being a girl is the inherent connection we feel with one another, and the power we wield when we work together," says Kathy Cloninger, chief executive officer, Girl Scouts of the USA. "By working with CARE and others, we're helping girls in the United States understand what girls just like them are facing in countries all over the world, encouraging them to be advocates for one another and ultimately identifying solutions to some of the world's most pressing problems – all from a girl's perspective."

Only 1.69 of 10,000 Miamians Are Tea Party Members
Categories: Politicks
PBS's Patchwork Nation project recently put together a county-by-county map comparing the concentration of residents who have registered as members of a Tea Party-affiliated group. Surprisingly, given Marco Rubio's success, Florida had only three counties (Gilchrist, Flagler, and Sumter) where more than ten of 10,000 residents identify as members of the movement. Miami-Dade had only 1.69 per 10,000. That's even lower than Broward County (2.66 per 10,000) and Palm Beach County (2.25 per 10,000).

So Andria (my assistant) and I traveled to Anaheim last week for the RWA National Conference, 2012. I've never been to Nationals, only to the regional Emerald City Writers Conference which is great—but not nearly as huge as Nationals. Over 2000 writers, aspiring writers, and industry peeps descend for a week of workshops, book signings, networking, and an awards presentation that is—for this genre—one of the "Academy Awards" type ceremony of romance.
|Headed to RWA--our beautiful Mount Rainier, from the plane.
|Why I love living in the Puget Sound area. Seattle from the air.
|Caught the sun in my camera--with Mount Rainier in the distance.

So, reconnecting with beloved friends, and meeting new peeps was one great part of RWA.

|Authors in action!
The RITA Awards ceremony was Saturday night, and I was asked to present one of the Golden Heart awards. I was honored to be asked, and it makes me smile to know I helped make Lorenda Christensen's night so special by announcing her as the paranormal Golden Heart winner! People were dressed to the nines—we're talking sequins and satin and silk and shawls.

Panasonic Corp. intends to reform its head office and the governance of the company, effective Oct. 1, 2012. Panasonic's goal is to reduce internally focused work and to better focus on meeting customer needs.
The framework for the reform includes plans to establish a corporate strategy head office and a professional business support sector. The new Corporate Strategy Head Office will have about 150 employees. Among the responsibilities of the office:
* "formulating Group midterm strategy and allocating management resources"
* "promoting cash flow management (focused on capital)"
* "developing executive candidates"
Other functions will be realigned as part of a Professional Business Support Sector. Panasonic will regroup some related divisions into single divisions and simplify organization.
Another step in the strategy: "Transfer the themes and review the mission of the Corporate R&D division." The new mission of the Corporate Research and Development division:
* Carry out R&D and create new businesses in growth areas.
* Develop technology that is uniform across the entire company.
The company will also review the Group decision-making structure.
To make Group mid- and long-term strategy and make quick decisions, Panasonic will establish a Group Management Team made up of some 10 executives.

TRICARE Young Adult Begins
TRICARE Young Adult Begins; Monthly Premiums Set at $186
Adult children of military members and retirees now can buy TRICARE health insurance coverage out to age 26, and that coverage can be purchased back to Jan. 1 this year.
The cost is steep, however, with the premium set at $186 a month, or $2232 a year, for coverage under the fee-for-service TRICARE Standard plan or the preferred provider network offered under TRICARE Extra.
No other Standard and Extra beneficiaries have to pay a premium. But in approving TRICARE Young Adult (TYA) Congress mandated that premium be set high enough to cover the entire cost. That includes both for medical services and internal administrative costs. So TRICARE officials said they had no other choice than to set premiums at these levels.
Given the premiums, TRICARE officials project only a modest "take rate" the first year of about six percent, or about 14,000 participants out of an eligible population of 233,000 young adult dependents.
For now, TRICARE Standard will be the only TYA option. TRICARE Prime will become another option for TYA enrollees effective Oct. 1, start of the new fiscal year. But to use Prime, young adults will have to live in areas where a TRICARE managed-care network is available.
The monthly premium for TYA Prime will be $213, or $2556 a year, not counting Prime co-pays. That is more than five times what a military family pays to enroll in TRICARE Prime.
There will be no retroactive coverage back to January 2011 offered under the TYA Prime option when it begins next October.
Families with multiple children between age 21 and 26 won't get a discount either. Each participant will have to pay the full monthly premium, under either Prime or Standard. Additional features -- cost-shares, deductibles and catastrophic cap protection -- will be based on the sponsor's status and the type of coverage selected.
Retired Navy Chief Hospital Corpsman Henry Popell of Vista, Calif., had wanted TYA Prime to cover his 20-year-old son, Colin, when he completes his studies in a few years. But Popell is reconsidering, given the premium rates, which would total more than $10,000 over four years of coverage eligibility.
"Wow!" said Popell, when we shared with him the rate. "That's a hell of a jump" from what he now pays for covering Colin as a fulltime student. "It puts me in a pickle."
In better economic times, Popell said, he would count on his son landing a job with health benefits after graduate school. In this economy, that's not at all certain.
"The burden's going to be on me to provide him with health care because I won't let him go without," he added. "TRICARE Prime would be the best way to go. But if we're talking about $2500 a year, that's a good hunk of money. There would have to be some very compelling reasons for me to continue that [coverage] after he got out of college."
Details on the TYA program were published April 27 in the Federal Register as an "interim final rule." Though the department solicits comments from beneficiaries and interest groups, the program is starting immediately to accept applications and to extend coverage as applications are approved.
The rule explains that assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, Dr. Jonathan Woodson, "had determined that following the standard practice," to delay implementation until after a 60-day comment period, "is unnecessary, impractical and contrary to the public interest."
The final details confirm that Congress failed to deliver to military families what was gained for other families on young adult coverage under the 2009 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. As that controversial health reform package moved toward enactment, opponents had warned that it had better not impact prized military health care coverage in any way.
That protectionist posture, however, left military families behind. The health reform law directed other health insurance plans to extend coverage of dependent children out to age 26. TRICARE coverage continued to end at age 21 or age 23 for children attending college fulltime.
Last year the armed services committees considered but rejected the idea of adding TYA as another subsidized feature of the TRICARE benefit. That would have added $300 million a year to TRICARE costs, which Defense officials long have complained are rising dramatically.
So lawmakers opted instead for a full-cost, premium-based TRICARE Young Adult program to take effect Jan. 1, 2011.
Congress imposed two other limitations unique to young adult TRICARE users versus other American young adults: 1) only unmarried dependents are eligible for TYA and 2) young adult dependents are disqualified if they are eligible for medical coverage through an employer-sponsored insurance program.
TRICARE officials needed longer than expected to write implementing regulations. But TYA applicants who pay premiums of $186 back as far as January can qualify for retroactive coverage under TRICARE Standard coverage if young adults can show their medical receipts.
TYA applicants can find more information, including application forms, online at: www.tricare.mil/tya .
The rule refers to "various premiums" depending on whether the dependent's sponsor is active duty, retired or eligible under another plan such as TRICARE Reserve Select or TRICARE Reserve Retired. But Austin Camacho, a spokesman for the TRICARE Management Activity headquartered in Falls Church, Va., said there are no different premiums "at this time."
The Department of Health and Human Services estimates that 1.2 million young adults have taken advantage of expanded dependent coverage to age 26 under national health reform law. Spread across all plan participants, the new coverage likely bumped up insurance premiums for family coverage by $60 to $150 a year, according to HHS estimates.
That's in sharp contrast to what military families will experience.
Proponents on Capitol Hill argue that TYA still will be more affordable than many commercial health insurance plans available for young adults, and that TRICARE will provide more comprehensive coverage too.

Conrad Yate, of Germany, came to America and settled first in Virginia, where he married. In 1818 he came to Missouri and settled in Warren County. During his residence here he built four mills (one run by water, two by horses, and one by oxen), and one distillery. His children were Joseph, Peter S., Polly, Elizabeth, Nancy, Henry, Sarah, Catharine, Charles, and George W. Joseph married Polly Phoenix, and settled in Pike Co., Mo. Polly married John Johnson, of Pike County. Elizabeth married Joseph King, of Montgomery County. Nancy married Colonel Reuben Pew, of Montgomery County. Henry married Susan Shields, of Pike County. Sarah married Israel Sitters, of Callaway County. Catharine married Nicholas Bradley, of Callaway County. Charles married Judith Jamison, of Callaway County. George W. married Elizabeth Coil, and settled in Warren County. Peter S. married Miss Slonce, of Kentucky, and settled in Warren County in 1818. He built a stone chimney 8×9 feet in size, and afterward built a cabin to the chimney. He obtained assistance from St. Charles County to raise his cabin, and as he furnished plenty of good whisky, it took them a week to finish it. When the house was completed he gave a dance, and during the night the floor gave way and let them all down into the cellar. Thomas Howell played the fiddle, and Rev. Thomas Bowen, who was a young man then, danced as vigorously as any of the other guests.

After stories floated that TNT had failed to reach a financial agreement with Larry Hagman to reprise his role of J.R. Ewing in an update of the 1978-91 primetime soap Dallas — and would move forward with an altered script that would write out the popular character — both parties expressed hope that the conflict could be resolved. And now I'm happy to report that a deal's been struck! Yep, I just got off the phone with Larry, who tells me he's in!

Help Young Pitchers Avoid Overuse Injuries
Expert urges parents and coaches to make kids aware of how overdoing it can harm their health
SUNDAY, April 21 (HealthDay News) -- The start of baseball season is a good time for parents and coaches to talk to young pitchers about how to prevent overuse injuries, an expert suggests.
Bones, muscles and connective tissues are not fully developed in most children up to age 16, so too much pitching can lead to injury, explained Dr. Michael Freehill, an assistant professor of orthopedics at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center.
"Parents may find it difficult to put limits on any activity that a child is good at and enjoys performing," he said in a medical center news release. "But when it comes to pitching, the surest way to ruin a young athlete's chances of success is to allow him or her to overdo it."
Freehill offered some guidelines to help prevent problems:
"Following these guidelines may force a young pitcher to sit out a few innings or miss a few pitching opportunities during the season," Freehill said. "However, that's a small price to pay for keeping our kids healthy and giving them their best shot at success over the long run."
