Doctors going broke

Wasn't Obama's health care reform law not supposed to destroy our medical care system? If so, Obama needs to step up his game. There won't be many doctors treating patients if doing so requires perpetual losses. Substantial cuts in Medicare payment are required by the Obama health reform law to keep it in line with CBO projections at the time it was passed. So far, Obama has sought to increase payments and avoid required health reform cuts in physician payment. If the Obama health insurance dream is to come true, it looks like most doctors will be out of business. How useful is an insurance card if there aren't any doctors to accept it?

Doctors going broke
Doctors in America are harboring an embarrassing secret: Many of them are going broke.
This quiet reality, which is spreading nationwide, is claiming a wide range of casualties, including family physicians, cardiologists and oncologists.
Industry watchers say the trend is worrisome. Half of all doctors in the nation operate a private practice. So if a cash crunch forces the death of an independent practice, it robs a community of a vital health care resource.
"A lot of independent practices are starting to see serious financial issues," said Marc Lion, CEO of Lion & Company CPAs, LLC, which advises independent doctor practices about their finances.
Doctors list shrinking insurance reimbursements, changing regulations, rising business and drug costs among the factors preventing them from keeping their practices afloat. But some experts counter that doctors' lack of business acumen is also to blame.
Loans to make payroll: Dr. William Pentz, 47, a cardiologist with a Philadelphia private practice, and his partners had to tap into their personal assets to make payroll for employees last year. "And we still barely made payroll last paycheck," he said. "Many of us are also skimping on our own pay."
Pentz said recent steep 35% to 40% cuts in Medicare reimbursements for key cardiovascular services, such as stress tests and echocardiograms, have taken a substantial toll on revenue. "Our total revenue was down about 9% last year compared to 2010," he said.
"These cuts have destabilized private cardiology practices," he said. "A third of our patients are on Medicare. So these Medicare cuts are by far the biggest factor. Private insurers follow Medicare rates. So those reimbursements are going down as well."
Pentz is thinking about an out. "If this continues, I might seriously consider leaving medicine," he said. "I can't keep working this way."
Also on his mind, the impending 27.4% Medicare pay cut for doctors. "If that goes through, it will put us under," he said.
Federal law requires that Medicare reimbursement rates be adjusted annually based on a formula tied to the health of the economy. That law says rates should be cut every year to keep Medicare financially sound.
Although Congress has blocked those cuts from happening 13 times over the past decade, most recently on Dec. 23 with a two-month temporary "patch," this dilemma continues to haunt doctors every year.
Beau Donegan, senior executive with a hospital cancer center in Newport Beach, Calif., is well aware of physicians' financial woes.
"Many are too proud to admit that they are on the verge of bankruptcy," she said. "These physicians see no way out of the downward spiral of reimbursement, escalating costs of treating patients and insurance companies deciding when and how much they will pay them."
Donegan knows an oncologist "with a stellar reputation in the community" who hasn't taken a salary from his private practice in over a year. He owes drug companies $1.6 million, which he wasn't reimbursed for.
Dr. Neil Barth is that oncologist. He has been in the top 10% of oncologists in his region, according to U.S. News Top Doctors' ranking. Still, he is contemplating personal bankruptcy.
That move could shutter his 31-year-old clinical practice and force 6,000 cancer patients to look for a new doctor.
Changes in drug reimbursements have hurt him badly. Until the mid-2000's, drugs sales were big profit generators for oncologists.
In oncology, doctors were allowed to profit from drug sales. So doctors would buy expensive cancer drugs at bulk prices from drugmakers and then sell them at much higher prices to their patients.
"I grew up in that system. I was spending $1.5 million a month on buying treatment drugs," he said. In 2005, Medicare revised the reimbursement guidelines for cancer drugs, which effectively made reimbursements for many expensive cancer drugs fall to less than the actual cost of the drugs.
"Our reimbursements plummeted," Barth said.
Still, Barth continued to push ahead with innovative research, treating patients with cutting-edge expensive therapies, accepting patients who were underinsured only to realize later that insurers would not pay him back for much of his care.
"I was $3.2 million in debt by mid 2010," said Barth. "It was a sickening feeling. I could no longer care for patients with catastrophic illnesses without scrutinizing every penny first."
He's since halved his debt and taken on a second job as a consultant to hospitals. But he's still struggling and considering closing his practice in the next six months.
"The economics of providing health care in this country need to change. It's too expensive for doctors," he said. "I love medicine. I will find a way to refinance my debt and not lose my home or my practice."
If he does declare bankruptcy, he loses all of it and has to find a way to start over at 60. Until then, he's turning away new patients whose care he can no longer subsidize.
"I recently got a call from a divorced woman with two kids who is unemployed, house in foreclosure with advanced breast cancer," he said. "The moment has come to this that you now say, 'sorry, we don't have the capacity to care for you.' "
Small business 101: A private practice is like a small business. "The only thing different is that a third party, and not the customer, is paying for the service," said Lion.
"Many times I shake my head," he said. "Doctors are trained in medicine but not how to run a business." His biggest challenge is getting doctors to realize where and how their profits are leaking.
"On average, there's a 10% to 15% profit leak in a private practice," he said. Much of that is tied to money owed to the practice by patients or insurers. "This is also why they are seeing a cash crunch."
Dr. Mike Gorman, a family physician in Logandale, Nev., recently took out an SBA loan to keep his practice running and pay his five employees.
"It is embarrassing," he said. "Doctors don't want to talk about being in debt." But he's planning a new strategy to deal with his rising business expenses and falling reimbursements.
"I will see more patients, but I won't check all of their complaints at one time," he explained. "If I do, insurance will bundle my reimbursement into one payment." Patients will have to make repeat visits -- an arrangement that he acknowledges is "inconvenient."
"This system pits doctor against patient," he said. "But it's the only way to beat the system and get paid."
|Fri, 01-06-2012 - 2:13pm
I don't think that reimbursements should be reduced. Let me make that clear first.
I do wonder how much of the trouble these specific physicians are in are based on bad financial decisions...One of them said he has halved his debt...makes me think that he had a pile of debt in the first place, something he should have thought about before overextending himself.
I think part of the problem is that doctors' offices have to hire so many people just to stay in business and get paid...people for the front desk, people savvy about billing and insurance companies to jump through all the hoops in order to get paid. It's ridiculous.
|Fri, 01-06-2012 - 3:58pm
This is why Congress should hold hearings, why legislation should be read before being past, and why it's a good idea to bet bipartisan support.

R3, Medicare cuts aren't solely to blame, nor the health care bill. The article says insurance companies follow suit. I'm not sure why. Greed jumps to mind. I dunno....
|Sat, 01-07-2012 - 10:48am
I'm pretty sure a bill to resolve this will come up, but here is how it will work: the right will demand something - tax cuts made permanent, deficit cuts to an entitlement programme - to go along with it. Even if the right doesn't object to something they try to make it a big deal just to gain something in return.
Except health reform doesn't go nearly far enough. I'm not sure why the right objected to a government insurer. Let it compete after capitalisation, lets see if it is true government is inefficient vs private entities - if what the right is correct, why be afraid of such a creation? (Maybe because they don't believe their own rhetoric, and they actually fear government demonstrating it can efficiently handle health care, which means their wealthy contributors will no longer be able to suck profit out of the system.)
|Sat, 01-07-2012 - 11:45am
Part of the problem is Obama's reform counts on cutting payments to providers. A bill that increases payments means the Obama reform will greatly increase costs for health care, and for Medicare, not cut them. Yet cutting payments means providers leave the field.
Instead of lowering costs, we are increasing costs, and reducing choices.
That isn't progress last time I checked. Is hope and change giving way to despair and failure? Is that the Obama 2012 ticket, despair and failure??
|Sat, 01-07-2012 - 7:43pm
There was a time when doctors didn't make much more than teachers. Or firemen. Or policemen. Then the AMA took over and while some of its activities were geared at improving medical standards, others were aimed at reducing supply and increasing salary for members.
I was, and still am, unconvinced that they deserve outsize salaries, and are being forced out of BUSINESS (and let me be abundantly clear that while it may be a calling for some, for others the choice of medicine is not altruistic at all) by ACA.
|Sat, 01-07-2012 - 10:31pm
My thought on the subject has changed due to your post, if your hope was to see medical providers get much less compensation, and your change was to have fewer medical care providers, then Obama is your guy and he's doing a wonderful job.

Interesting that you view the investment in higher education as a justification for making a big salary.
|Sun, 01-08-2012 - 10:58am
I completely agree with this. It's the same bottleneck for physician assistants, as well. I seriously considered trying to get in the school here after taking the requisite science courses, but at my age, I decided not to do it since there was no guarantee that I'd be able to get into the school in my city. There were thousands of people vying for 26 spots per year. It's really too bad because it's something I would have loved to do and I would have been excellent at it.

My DS started Vyvance this weekend (he is 5) and has been talking nonstop.
|Tue, 02-09-2010 - 4:07pm
My boys do not take that med...one of mine takes Adderal and one takes Strattera, and the one on Adderal would talk non-stop but was def less impulsive and better able to handle stressors. I often wondered if it was "normal" or not too. I think he was finally able to relax a bit from the meds and had a lot to say when his mind wasn't so cluttered. Of course, this is just my speculation.
I just wanted to say my son was the same...don't know if it's just a fluke or if it's med-related nor if it will subside w/ time, but wanted you to know we dealt w/ that too! My son was just taken off the Adderal, so I'm wondering if the chattering will return once he's medicated again?
Good luck and hope your child's behavior continues to move in a positive direction!

Burlington - Vermont 4-H'ers didn't horse around when it came to national competition last month in Kentucky. Several Vermont 4-H club members, all winners at state level competitions earlier this year, won awards at the Eastern National 4-H Horse Roundup.
The Vermonters were among the 332 4-H horse program members from 25 states vying for top honors at the 25th annual roundup, Nov. 5-7, at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center in Louisville. The event, hosted by the North American International Livestock Exposition, included six competitions designed to test knowledge of everything equine, as well as evaluate communication skills. Four-H'ers competed both on the individual level and as part of a team representing their state in hippology, horse judging, horse quiz bowl, public speaking, individual presentation, and team demonstration.
The Vermont Hippology Team placed sixth overall out of 23 teams, coming in sixth in problem solving, eighth in the written exam, and tenth in judging. The team also placed second in stations, the phase of the competition in which contestants stop at a series of stations or tables to answer questions on horse breeds, nutrition, health, and other equine science topics.
In individual judging, Chantel Charlebois, Jericho, tied for second high individual, coming in just one point behind the first-place winner. Team member Alexandra Glover, Newfane, earned a fourth-place finish in the stations phase and was ninth high individual. Caitlin Ackerman and Kyla Ward, both from Jericho, also competed as members of the Vermont Hippology Team, which was coached by Kathy Kennett of Panton.
In the horse judging competition, the state judging team placed tenth in the performance classes team judging contest. Members of the team included Jen Carp, Colchester; Julia Dockum, Fair Haven; Cara Turnbull, Essex Junction; and Mary Williams, Burlington. Deb Danforth of Castleton was their coach.
The Horse Quiz Bowl Team, consisting of Brittany Alvarez, Rutland; Jessie Bachmann, Ira; Hillary Fay, Westford; and Katelyn Phillips, Fair Haven, placed sixth overall. Norma Katz of Springfield coached the team.

JUPITER (CBSMiami) – The calendar may only read February 26, 2014, but Wednesday afternoon the Miami Marlins will take the field for the first time this year in an exhibition game against the University of Miami Hurricanes.
The Marlins will throw out part of the expected starting lineup against the Canes in Jupiter Wednesday. The Marlins lineup against the Hurricanes will be:
- Donovan Solano – Second Base
- Christian Yelich – Left Field
- Marcell Ozuna – Center Field
- Garrett Jones – First Base
- Casey McGehee – Third Base
- Wigginton – Designated Hitter
- Brian Bogusevic – Right Field
- Ed Lucas – Shortstop
- Rob Brantly – Center
(Angel Sanchez – Pitcher)
Noticeably missing from the lineup is starting right fielder Giancarlo Stanton, catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, and infielders Adeiny Hechavarria and Rafael Furcal. In addition, if this was the regular season opener, pitcher Jose Fernandez would get the start as the team's number one pitcher.
According to CBS4 news partner the Miami Herald's Manny Navarro, Furcal is expected to be eased back into the starting lineup after missing last year following elbow surgery. He is not expected to play Friday, but will on Saturday.
Navarro also said that Henderson Alvarez will miss his first spring start due to an infection in his shin.

How some phrases just need a modern update
WTOP's Alan Etter reports
WASHINGTON -- There are phrases your parents probably said to you that you in turn have been passed down to your kids. However, it's time for an expression upgrade, according to Parents magazine.
While the same sentiments can generally apply, rephrasing some classic refrains and nuggets of advice can do a lot more to help kids develop into well-adjusted adults, experts say.
Parents.com lists the 10 Things You Should Never Say to Your Kids:
- "Great Job."
- "Practice makes perfect."
- "You're okay."
- "Hurry up!"
- "I'm on a diet."
- "Let me help."
- "Don't talk to strangers."
- "We can't afford that."
- "No dessert unless you finish your dinner."
- "Be careful."
Parents Magazine says for instance, the phrase, "good job" is too generalized. On the other hand, "Don't talk to strangers," might result in kids resisting the help of a police officer or firefighter. Instead, they suggested saying something like, "If anyone makes you feel sad or scared - you need to tell me."
Meanwhile, "We can't afford that," just sends a message that parents are not in control of their money. Try rather: "We're not going to buy that because we're saving our money for important things."

Does anyone have any suggestions for keeping the fermenter between 65 and 70 degrees for the warm summer months? I bought some larger buckets that will hold my fermenting buckets with the hope that I could put water and ice/ice packs to regulate the temperature. Has anyone else tried this? Does it work? Is there a better way to keep it at a constant temperature. By the way, I do not have the space to buy another refrigerator and I live in a large apartment that has no basement. Thanks in advance for you advice.
I think the water bath will work great.
If you want to get crazy build a son of fermentation chiller. I built one using a cellphone charger for the power supply, fan out of an old computer, an old thermostat and the $25 sheet of 2inch insulation from home depot.
Interesting. I live in Michigan where the temperature is about 70-80 degrees this time of year. Do you think JUST the water bath would lower the temperature by 10 degrees or do you think the ice would definitely be required?
It works better if you can insulate the entire set up, to keep the temperature from fluctuating much. A water bath will warm up to room temperature eventually, bringing the beer temperature up with it. The temperature changes don't happen fast, with that much water insulating it, but keeping the entire set up insulating makes the temperature changes even more gradual.
Here's my solution:
I add water, and then frozen water bottles as needed to keep the temperature at 65 degrees. Now, I live in a colder climate, so I don't have much problem at all. I use the same set up in the winter, with an aquarium heater, to keep my temperatures up to 65 degrees or so.
I use a bucket to hold the carboy, and fill it with water. Then I use a pump to pump water from the bucket to a small cooler that was ice water in it. The pump is controlled by a temperature controller. The water in the cooler overflows back into the bucket with the carboy.
"...Careful, man...there's a beverage here!..."
I used a sawz-all and got clean cuts... not all of them are straight, but apfelwine may have more to do with that then the saw!

The exercise is performed by setting feet about shoulder width apart, squatting until the tops of the thighs are parallel with the ground, and then jumping up as hard as possible. Just like a jedi might to avoid a lightsaber to the legs. A modified version of this is instead of jumping you come back up from the squat and then go onto your tip toes to work those calves.
2. R2D2 – kettlebell lateral crunch
Hold the kettlebells at hip level and engage your midsection and tilt your upper body to one side beginning from the oblique area just above your hip. Then bring your body back up to neutral position. Repeat with the other side.
3. Force Pushups
Get into a plank position with hands planted directly under the shoulders (slightly wider than shoulder width apart). Ground the toes into the floor to stabilize the bottom half of the body. Engage the abs and back so the body is neutral. You want to be flatter than han solo in carbonite. Then lower your chest towards the ground until your elbows are at a 90 degree angle and then push yourself back up to plank position.
4. Choke Hold Practice – one handed dumbbell swing while force choking with other hand
Stand up straight, with feet a bit wider than hip-distance apart. Grab hold of the kettlebell handle with one hand, keeping the palms face down and arms in front of the body. Maintain a slight bend to the knee and drive the hips back, lowering the body — but not too low, this isn't a squat! Then, in a fluid motion, explosively drive the hips forward while swinging the kettlebell Remember: The motion should come from the hips as the body returns to a standing position. Keep the momentum going so the kettlebell swing is controlled but continuous motion. While you are swinging with one hand, bring your other hand up in a force choke motion just like Darth Vader and work on your force skills. Switch hands after 30 seconds.
5. Yoda Carry – Sandbag laps
Grab the nearest jawa, sandbag or bag full of laundry and sling across your back like Luke did with Yoda in Dagobah and do laps for 1 minute. Do or do not, there is no try.
6. Speeder – mini pulse squats
Start standing with feet hip width apart and arms stretched out in front. Perform a squat and hold it at the bottom as you pulse a few inches up and down for the entire exercise. Outstretch your arms so that it looks like you are on a speeder trying to outflank the storm troopers on Endor.
7. Let the Wookie Win – Sandbag slams
As Han Solo pointed out, beating a wookie might get your arms ripped out of your sockets, so it's wise to let the wookie win. With the sandbag slams you want to start with the sandbag on the floor, squat down with your core engaged, pick up the sandbag raise it above your head and slam it back down in front of you. If you don't have a sandbag, use that bag of laundry, just avoid anything breakable.
8. Help Me Obiwan Kenobi Squats
Princess Leia had to squat down to send her message to Obi Wan Kenobi via R2D2, so we are going to help you practice. Stand shoulder width apart with your toes facing forward. Slowly lower yourself by bending your knees and by breaking at the hip while pushing your butt back. Be sure to keep your back straight and your chest and shoulders up. Lower as far as you can go comfortably and then raise yourself back up. Repeat. Be sure to keep your weight in your heels, you should be able to wiggle your toes. To give yourself the most authentic Star Wars experiences, when you squat raise one hand as if R2D2 was in front of you and press a button to send the important message the changed the course of history.
9. Kessel Run – shuttle sprints
Like the Millenium Falcon that can do the kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, this exercise is meant to get your heart racing. Pick two points on the ground that you will run between as fast as you can. Once you reach the other side, turn around and sprint back.
10. Bantha Crawl – bear crawl
Start on your hands and feet with your knees slightly bent. Start walking forward with you moving your right leg with your left leg and your left arm with your right leg.
11. Stormtrooper march – high knees
While Stormtroopers aren't known for their shooting skills, they sure can march! To do this exercise, stand with your feet hip width apart. Pull your right knee towards your chest as high as you can comfortably go. Then return your foot back to it's original position. Then repeat with the left. Keep on alternating for one minute. To ramp up the level, pick up the pace.
12. Sandpeople Yell – overhead press
Get ready to give your best outraged sandpeople yell when you do this exercise. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Grab your two dumbells, not too heavy but so that you can easily raise over your head. Palms should be face down. Lift the weights to shoulder level, palms facing forward with elbows bent at a 90 degree angle. Then extend the elbows towards the ceiling until your dumbells almost touch. Then bring them back down until your elbows are at a 90 degree angle. Repeat for one minute.
- Darth Vader Breath – yoga breath
- Downward Facing Wookie – downward facing dog with one arm raised in a fist
- Speeder Bike à Revolved Speeder Bike – chair pose front both hands on handles, then rotate right hand under your left as if you're about to shoot your blaster towards the storm trooper next to you.
- Saber one – warrior 2 with alternate arms drawn back like you are holding a lightsaber
- Luke in Tauntaun – childs pose
- Han Solo in Carbonite – lay on back with hands in the air
Meditation (5 – 10 minutes)
Recite Jedi code.
Jedi are the guardians of peace in the galaxy.
Jedi use their powers to defend and to protect.
Jedi respect all life, in any form.
Jedi serve others rather than ruling over them, for the good of the galaxy.
Jedi seek to improve themselves through knowledge and training.
- Get into a relaxed sitting position or laying position. The key is to have your body and chest be open, so no getting into a ball.
- Take deep breaths and relax your body. Breathe into any tension spots that you have, unclench your hands, unwrinkled your forehead, unclench your jaw and relax.
- Clear your mind, put any worries that you have in a box that you can address later.
- Once your mind is clear, start to create your sanctuary
- You come upon a closed garden that is overgrown. You slowly clear away the foliage and find the gate. You take your time and care clearing it away. It will be a new safe place for you to enjoy and relax.
- You enter the sanctuary, filled with flowers, fountains, vines, benches that have not been taken care of. Spend your time slowly and thoughtfully cleaning it up and decorating it to your taste. It is both effortless and pleasurable.
- When you are done, sit back and admire your handy work. Really capture how it looks. You now have a safe sanctuary within which you can address issues or problems.
- Come back to reality and take some deep breaths.
May the force be with you!

$theTitle=wp_title(" - ", false); if($theTitle != "") { ?>
Chris Evans and Evan Rachel Wood reprise their roles in the latest Gucci Guilty fragrance ad campaign. Frank Miller directs them in a film noir-inspired commercial using his signature comic book style.
If Hollywood ever makes another Sin City film, I suggest they convince Evans to appear in it. I didn't think it was possible but the 33-year-old actor looks even hotter than he does wearing his Captain America costume. And that's saying a lot.
Check out the latest ad below which features Friendly Fires and Bat For Lashes' "Strangelove," appropriately enough, the Guilty remix.
After playing Captain America in a couple superhero flicks, Chris Evans returns to the romantic comedy genre. The 33-year-old plays a struggling screenwriter who sells out to write a rom-com to boost his career. Problem is, he doesn't believe in love. At least the cheesy ones often portrayed. #typicalromcomobstacle
Along the way, he finds himself falling in love with Michelle Monaghan. Catch is, she's about to walk down the aisle with some other man. #secondtypicalromcomobstacle. Can men and women just be friends? #thirdtypicalromcomobstacle
Aubrey Plaza, Anthony Mackie, Topher Grace, Luke Wilson and Giovanni Ribisi round out the cast. Watch the cute, albeit cliche, trailer below. As of yet, Playing It Cool doesn't have a release date yet.
Movie Synopsis
This is the story of ME (Evans), a young man disillusioned by love, who meets a breathtaking young woman, HER (Monaghan), at a charity dinner by pretending to be a philanthropist. Only one problem: she's engaged. Yet, he engages into a platonic relationship to be able to keep seeing her. Like a young Walter Mitty using the power of imagination and wild vignettes, HE will stop at nothing to conquer HER heart.
Guardians of the Galaxy set an August box office record this past weekend with a powerful $94 million opening. No doubt in part to the studio's hardcore pimping of Chris Pratt. Wise decision to release all those movie stills of the 35-year-old showing off his buff new bod.
I'm not the only one who got all hot and bothered looking at those shirtless visuals. Hardcore fans began picturing Pratt with his fellow Marvel Comics superheroes in comprising positions. During an interview with Buzzfeed, he was asked if he had read any of it or was aware of the X rated fan fiction. Chris stated he hadn't but agreed with how hot a gay threesome would be. Find out who he suggested should partake in the action below.
The second Chris Evans appeared in Not Another Teen Movie wearing only whipped cream and a well placed banana I was instantly in lust. Thankfully, the 32-year-old actor has never been shy to show off his body. From Cellular to Captain America: The Winter Soldier in theaters today, and everything in between, The Wrap has put together all his shirtless and naked moments from the past in one sexy video montage. Check it out below.
Growing up in the Evans household would've been great for obvious reasons, right? However, based on stories told by both Chris and Scott on The Tonight Show, it appears it would've been hilarious as well. The two shared childhood hijinks during a round of the Sibling-wed game (think 70s Newlywed Game). They didn't score very well but it's clearly evident these boys are extremely close and love each other. Check out the adorable clip below.
Is Chris Evans the best actor ever? Probably not. With that being said, I'll still miss him when he retires from acting. He always adds that extra sex appeal to whatever film he's involved in. The 32-year-old actor revealed to Variety that he's ready to quit his career in front of the camera.
"I've known for a while I wanted to direct. But [time] never really opens up. There's another movie to do, there's another acting job. It just got to a point where I was like, you know what — I have to do this," says Chris Evans. He adds, "I can't see myself pursuing acting strictly outside of what I'm contractually obligated to do."
With Evans still under contract for three more Marvel films, we have a few more years before his impending retirement takes place. Perhaps he'll change his mind in that time.
Chris recently finished his directorial debut, 1:30 Train. The romance film stars Alice Eve, Mark Kassen and Evans. Check out more pics of Chris in Variety below which were snapped by photographer Danielle Levitt.
There's no denying that the women rule the red carpet during the awards season. It's all about who they're wearing and what accessories their respective stylists chose for them. Given all the money and publicity when the right gown meets the right actress generates, it makes sense.
As any self-respecting fashion gay I love checking out what the women wear as well. However, I thought I'd shine the spotlight on a few of last night's sharpest dressed men. Check out my Top 15 picks of the sexiest studs to don tuxedos at the 86th Academy Awards. Be sure to cast your vote on your favorites afterward.
The first Avenger is back. Marvel Comics just unleashed the first trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Chris Evans and his bulging biceps return for a second go round as the titular superhero. This time he's joined by Scarlet Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Redford and Sebastian Stan who returns as the Winter Soldier. We also see the first glimpse of Anthony Mackie as the Falcon.
The sequel takes place after Steve Rogers helped save New York City in The Avengers. He's now living in Washington, DC trying to adjust to modern life after being unearthed from a 70-year icy sleep. I know I'd be cranky ;)
Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, The Winter Soldier also stars Emily VanCamp, Cobie Smulders, Frank Grillo and Hayley Atwell. It comes out April 4, 2014. I wasn't completely in love with the first film, but this one looks really good. Check out the spankin' new trailer below.

Effective insulation of your hot water cylinder saves energy and money, designed for tanks of all types, cylinder jacket has 80mm nominal thickness glass fibre infill and an extra strong flame-retardant PVC cover.
"Recently purchased from Huntingdon store. This cylinder jacket was in 4 sections although your product description clearly states that it is 5 Panel design. Each section has an eyelet at the top. Ties were supplied. It was quite difficult fitting this in an airing cupboard where the space around the cylinder was a bit tight. I might have found the task easier if it had come with instructions, but there was NO FITTING INSTRUCTIONS with this product. There wasn't even a bar code on the bag so I had to tell the lady at the checkout what the product was so she could identify it on her computer."
"Poor quality control. Jacket was in 4 sections . Each section was supposed to have a metal eyelet at the top to enable a cord to be threaded through. One section had no eyelet. Couldn't be bothered returning . Did a Heath Robinson and poked a hole through and reinforced with gaffa tape. First purchase with Wickes ? Totally unimpressed with them . A full refund as a goodwill gesture would help.."
"Generally pleased with this item, although a little fiddly to fit around a tank that is in an awkward space. Pack clearly marked as 4-panel jacket not 5 as previous design. Fitted on my own relatively quickly but would have been nice to have the top lace longer than a shoelace. Not tested long term yet but overall seems it will do the job well, only drawback being my airing cupboard won't be so good for drying laundry :-)"

RIM, Microsoft Aim for Apple
BARCELONA ( TheStreet) -- The big news from the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, this week is operating systems. Everyone, it seems, has a new one. And by no coincidence, each one works like an Apple (AAPL) iPhone.
Microsoft (MSFT) dazzled fans with its presentation of Windows Phone 7, an overhaul of its mobile software system, which is expected to be available in phones by the holidays.
|Alcatel Lucent CEO Ben Verwaayen
Research In Motion (RIMM) announced a new Web-friendly, application-ready operating system. Nokia (NOK) outlined yet another platform; this one, powered by Intel (INTC) and called MeeGo, is a blend of previous applications. Samsung rounded out the squad with Bada software, featuring a new "touchwiz" touchscreen control application.
Notably, nothing yet from Palm (PALM).If you didn't know better, you might think all these players are trying to stand out in an increasingly crowded smartphone market. If you were a little circumspect, you might worry that not every player has what it takes to win in mobile phones. Deep into its third year, Apple's iPhone is still the design to beat. A big bright touchscreen, a thin form, fingertip gesture-control, a ton of applications and a full-page Internet browser are now the standard equipment on a new generation of phones. Google's (GOOG) effort with Android phones like the Motorola (MOT) Droid and HTC's latest like the Nexus One or Desire has notched a remarkable impact on the market. There's no Android blockbusters yet, but they make for a capable competitor to the iPhone.

Unruly man forces Canadian flight to land in Nebraska
An international flight en route from Jamaica to Canada landed in Nebraska early Tuesday after an unruly passenger tried to open the plane's door.
Sunwing airlines Flight 739 landed in Lincoln with about 140 passengers at 12:22 a.m. Tuesday.
Sunwing spokesman Daryl McWilliams says the incident began when four women on the flight taunted a 48-year-old Calgary man. The man became extremely agitated and tried to open the plane's door.
The Boeing 737 spent 5½ hours on the tarmac while the FBI investigated before continuing on to its destination of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Passengers were given $75 flight vouchers.
The man was taken to a Lincoln hospital.
The four women who were involved in the incident were also removed from the flight.
Federal prosecutors have decided not to file charges.

Singapore GDP declinesComment on this story
Singapore's trade driven economy, regarded as a bellwether for Asia, contracted by 1.1 percent in the second quarter from the previous three-month period, a preliminary government estimate showed Friday.
The unexpected contraction, down from 9.4 percent growth in the preceding quarter, was largely due to a contraction in the biomedical manufacturing industry, the trade ministry said in a statement. - Sapa-AFP

Long before pop stars cornered the market on weird, it was up to European royalty to push the limits of luxury and good taste. "Mad King Ludwig" of Bavaria topped the list for a while in the late 19th century. But his eccentric style was more kooky than crazy. He once said, "I wish to remain an eternal enigma to myself and others." And thanks to his bizarre interior decorating skills and a pair of custom-built fairy tale castles, he succeeded.
One of Ludwig's favorite architectural accents was the magnificent rose quartz minded nearby. He used the blush-colored gem in windows to make sure that he always saw life from his "uniquely colored perspective." We captured the king's favorite gem in our Palantine Ring, which features a smooth rose quartz centerpiece in an eye-catching, original design. The dreamy 10-carat cabochon is ringed by a double halo of bright, lab-created DiamondAura® rounds. And the stunning oval is perched high in an "open eave" setting of .925 sterling silver layered in rose gold.

You say you shouldn't spend 5k on a quality bird, the more pertinent question is where do you draw the line? I've seen an Align 600 have a cyclic servo fail, should everyone avoid Align helis because of that?

I think the issue here is that Laughingstill is implying cheaper parts suddenly make a heli a danger to everyone, when quite frankly I don't think anyone would be able to tell whether an xyz or 3gX was teh gyro being used on a given heli. I'm arguing that the user plays a bigger part in the danger-factor than the price of the heli.

Personally, Align is where I would START with a 700 class Heli. NO CLONES OF ANY KIND. Now if you have a 250 or 450, roll with the cheap stuff as they can hurt still but not like the larger birds.
I do agree however that the pilot/assembler plays a HUGE role in the outcome.

Edit: I should add that my 500 that is now 80% Align didn't need everything replaced. I did upgrade because I could. I still have the HK parts as spares, they weren't replaced because of failure. The only thing that was suspect after about 100 flights was the original swash. It also has a Tarot fbl head and xyz gyro now and flies just fine.
I'm currently waiting for a Vwinrc 600e complete combo to arrive as my winter project. Do I have any reservations about buying a 600 size complete kit for $500, sure, but I'm not opposed to trying to get the best deal I can either. Will I just assemble this heli and throw it in the air without extensive low level flight testing, no. Will there be anyone else around when the first test flights take place, no. This heli will not see anything but hovering for about the first ten flights, hopefully it will get that far. If not, and provided nothing catastrophic happens, parts will get replaced as needed. Do I see this heli ever reaching the cost of an Align 600 kit, no. It WILL fly fine for much less. If after a few years it's 80% Align as parts wear out or I feel like upgrading, so be it. Parts need to be replaced over time anyways. There's no reason it can't be a dependable machine, as long as appropriate precautions are taken. That doesn't mean I have to throw my wallet at it to make it fly. It will be an aggressive sport flier, nothing more, nothing less.

I have mentioned this in other threads but sadly an entire generation is being lost. We used to pride ourselves just as much on our builds as we did our stick skills. I think I triumph getting my Hornet X3D built and dialed in over learning new flight moves. The expectations for perfect out of the box BNF or monster 3D for a nickle seems to be perfectly normal around RCG.
I am not against cheap a long a it's safe and competition keeps the big guys honest vote with your wallet. There is a pretty good reason why I see Align and Thunder Tiger at my flying field year after year. Once trust is earned we are generally going to give them another try if the experience is bad we move on right?
You can learn the hard way or learn the easy way on these matters but generally the conclusion of long term heli fliers is the same. It is interesting to watch, you can't tell anybody anything around here since they already have the answers.

16 Threaded M4-style Barrel is rated out of 5 by 138.Rated 5 out of 5 by Mountain Man from Get one! I have purchased two of these barrels now. They are of top quality. The price is unbeatable and shipping to me in 4 days. I will continue to buy them.Date published: 2014-12-06Rated 5 out of 5 by razor26 from great buy good barrels. I have bot 4 of these . make sure you clean them before you install it . gauge the gas porte. specs are online . for all you novice , gas tube placement is one of the most commen mistake . that means it is upside down . so take your time.Date published: 2014-11-23Rated 5 out of 5 by txdan from Great Price! Have not installed it yet, but it looks as good or better than I expected.Date published: 2014-11-15Rated 5 out of 5 by Rick L from Good barrel at good price I have purchased six of these barrels for builds I have completed. I have shot three of them and have been very pleased. Make sure you do the proper barrel break-in procedures and you will have a very accurate shooting rifle. The finish on them is also very nice ! Prior to shooting make sure you run a brush through it and then clean it good to removed any metal away from just forward of the gas port hole. You can not find a better deal any where for a barrel this nice.Date published: 2014-11-04Rated 5 out of 5 by MShort33 from Awesome! The barrel was better than I was expecting, Flawless condition. I am using this in my current AR15 build, and was quite impressed with it. The only thing that took me by surprise is that these are "Virgin" barrels, and they do not have the tapered grooves to mount a sight post on. So this build went to a Gas Block with a fold down front sight. Looking forward to future orders with SMG!!!!Date published: 2014-10-29Rated 4 out of 5 by JAMES from Not a bad barrel, no markings of any kind, shipping could have been better why they wrap em in paper and thin bubble wrap I have no idea, a few with some thin rub marks and one with a ding but was covered by the handguard. Barrels were very dirty, lots of debrisDate published: 2014-06-22Rated 5 out of 5 by STEPHEN from Just what I ordered.Date published: 2014-05-21Rated 5 out of 5 by PAUL from My barrel showed up it was clean, well parkerized and ready to shoot!Date published: 2014-05-11

PRLog - Oct. 16, 2011 - LAFAYETTE, La. -- EarthCare Greenhouses is a unique company involved in wholesale and retail greenhouse distribution.
EarthCare Greenhouses is unique in that the company promotes a "green" world in all ways. Not only is the company involved in selling greenhouse kits, it is also intimately concerned with protecting the health and integrity of the environment, and even interested in putting some green in the everyday person's pocket by offering an industry-unique affiliate marketing opportunity.
The affiliate marketing opportunity is open to anyone who is not already a business owner. It lets all those who sign up promote the company's products and make a commission of 10% on all sales.
This puts the power of the sale in the hands of those who really care about the products and believe in them, rather than keeping that power in the hands of professionals who may just "talk the talk" for the sake of the buck. What's more, this program allows EarthCare Greenhouses to invest more of its money in the discovery and development of the best products to offer customers by keeping overhead expenses lower.
EarthCare Greenhouses is the sole distributor of all EarthCare products in the United States.
The company provides wholesale greenhouses through direct drop shipping to verified U.S. businesses that fill out a wholesale application on their website. They will review and make a decision on your approval or denial. If denied, they will tell you exactly why it happened and what you can do in order to change that status. If accepted, you can begin selling right away and your account will be upgraded to a wholesale status.
The product line is not only totally eco-friendly, it is also very unique and goes beyond just greenhouses. Compost buckets, including decorative ones that may, for instance, be shaped like a fire hydrant; useful and efficient composters; and cold frame, Grow Smart (one of the newest hobby greenhouse kits on the market), Harvest, lean-to, and portable greenhouses are all sold by the company.
Every product that is offered by EarthCare Greenhouses is centered on getting everyday people to be excellent stewards of the environment while doing something useful that enhances their own home and garden.
In many instances, the company's products might spark a new hobby or further the advancement of an existing one. This would be a hobby that involves growing one's own crops or flowers. Gardening is the leading hobby in the United States, and it's proven to have therapeutic benefits. If you grow your own crops, you can enjoy fresh vegetables and fruits all year round while saving money and while knowing that your crops are safe. If you grow your own flowers, you get the joy and satisfaction of always having beautiful flowers on hand for any occasion and for any time of the year.
EarthCare Greenhouses provides opportunities in various forms that nearly anyone can take advantage of.
As we live with our environment constantly threatened with pollution and degradation and our food prices continuing to soar, this is a company that offers unique products and unique opportunities that all can benefit from.

Segura Trading LLC is one of the leading online greenhouse gardening tools and accessories retailers and wholesalers today.

Texas Matters: More from the hearing in San Antonio Wednesday in the case challenging the Texas ban on same-sex marriage. Arguments have been made and a federal judge is now formulating a decision. If the judge strikes down the ban, the case will be immediately appealed to the conservative U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. A comprehensive look at all the issues leading into the March primary election. Also on this show: How the border region is reacting to political ads.
Same-sex marriage debate hits Texas
Plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Texas voter ID law applauded a Corpus Christi federal judge's vigilance to retain a September trial date -- the U.S. Department of Justice is now hoping to postpone the case because of logistics issues.
Voter ID certificates are now available at Texas DPS offices and county elections offices are working to get voters properly registered for next month's early voting in the primary elections.
The Electronic Identification Certificate is the required document for all voters who do not already have a state or U.S. photo ID. According to the voter ID law that went into effect in November, every voter must show an acceptable form of ID to be allowed to cast their ballot.
Accepted photo IDs include:
The November constitutional amendment election is over and in Bexar County just over six percent of registered voters went to the polls.
That means a lot of voters did not show up, which isn't always because they don't care.
Every election cycle elections office workers begin their hunt to find out what happened to voters who vanish. Bexar County Elections Administrator Jacque Callanen said the technical term for this lost constituency that doesn't show up to vote is called the "suspense voters."
Originally published on Wed November 6, 2013 8:37 am
Texas voters approved all nine state constitutional amendments on the November ballot.
The issue that received the most attention was Proposition 6. It creates a new water fund with two billion dollars from the state's Rainy Day fund.
Propositions 1 and 4 cut property taxes for disabled veterans or their surviving spouse.
Texas Secretary of State John Steen's office is guaranteeing that every ballot will count in this election, even if a voter is registered under a different name.
This is the Texas' first statewide election where photo ID is required to cast a ballot, which has led to some reported problems at polling places across the state.
The League of Women Voters in Texas is urging a "yes" vote on Prop. 6, the constitutional amendment that will take $2 billion from the state's Rainy Day Fund to create a sort of bank account to fund water projects.
The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan group that works to get people to become active in their government and to get out the vote. It does not support one candidate or party over others, but does take positions on issues.
Update (11/5): Today is Election Day and voting locations are different from early voting so make sure and pay close attention to your voting precinct. Polls close at 7 p.m.
Originally published on Wed October 16, 2013 10:43 am
When Texans go to the polls beginning Monday, they'll have the chance to vote on nine constitutional propositions. Two of them would cut property taxes for disabled veterans or their surviving spouse.
Both propositions have their origins in an oversight and look to tweak current laws to give returning Texas veterans and their families property tax breaks.
Gov. Rick Perry inspected the water levels at Lake Travis and then urged voters to approve proposition 6, the water project funding program that would pay for the next 50 years of water projects in the state that is up for a vote on this November's ballot.
Prop. 6 would take $2 billion from the Rainy Day Fund and place it in a separate fund which would then be loaned out to organizations around the state to fund water projects. Those organizations would then pay back the loan with interest to keep the fund going.

Jefferson County's most wanted criminals: A mug shot gallery
Many law enforcement agencies across the state compile and update their own most-wanted-criminals list -- and the one maintained by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office demonstrates the distressingly widespread and commonplace nature of domestic violence. All twelve people on its current list -- eleven men and one woman -- are wanted for this offense.

These Bank Stocks are the Best Housing Play: Goldman Sachs
EverBank has considerable upside from housing as well given its "large concentration in housing related loans (2x peer average), out-sized mortgage origination business (20% of 2013 revenue or 4x peers), lower housing related credit/workout costs, and potential recoveries on the Bank of Florida marked loans."
While Bank of America (BAC) and SunTrust (STI) are significantly levered to an improvement in housing, the analysts remain neutral.
In the case of Bank of America, higher legal costs mortgage servicing and workout costs will continue to be a drag on expenses even if credit quality improves. The analysts also continue to see heightened putback risk from both the agencies and private labels. And the stock still trades at a premium to JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Citigroup.
SunTrust might also continue to be weighed down by continued weakness in Atlanta and extended foreclosure timelines in judicial states such as Florida.--Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York

Reviews - Hotel aero Strand
Terrible hotelSubmitted by: Simone in 24/08/07
- Age Group: 41 - 50
- From: Finland
- Traveller type: Family Traveller
The hotels website uses the words such as "exclusive, topmodern, good night sleep, cosy, good food, night club, etc..." Unfortunately we didn't experience any of them. "Exclusive" in this hotel means, that nothing is inclusive, you even have to pay to see the normal TV-programs! I've been to many, many hotels around the world and this was the first hotel where they charged for all TV programs. We had booked 3 rooms based on a half board, but were not told, that the restaurant would close at 8 pm. You cannot read that in their website and even in a paper handed to us was a later time. So we didn't get any dinner at the first night, but of course we still had to pay it. And no compensation the next day (lunch or picnic) was negotiable. Nevermind, the food was not even good when we finally got it the next evening. Wine was fine, because we could choose it. Immediately after finishing our dinner they came to bring our bill without asking if we would like to have some more wine, coffee etc. We had a feeling, that they just want us to leave as quickly as possible. Also the bar was supposed to stay open all the day long until 11 pm and we wanted to have drinks before dinner. The bar was of course closed, because the restaurant was open. Night club? Where was it? We didn' see any (except the bar, whic was again open after the dinner until 11 pm.) The rooms were stinky, they propably have a blight problem. My pillow was also stinking really bad, but there were no extra pillows available in the hotel! After the shower water stayed flowing in the bathroom floor and there was nothing to wipe it off. I asked the reception and they told me to know the problem and gave 2 extra towels to clean the floor (we had 3 rooms). If they know the problem, why don't they solve it? Why not even place some sweeper in every bathroom??? All in all I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. It was the most expensive hotel during our Denmark trip and definetly the worst. The staff in the reception could have been nice and try to help us with the inconvenients, but they were really unfriendly.
