Tomas on Stoke, playing deep in midfield and season run-in
Live Text isn't live anymore, this is a record of the match events.

Full Time IT'S ALL OVER: Arsenal have to settle for a draw at the Britannia but RVP's first-half strike could prove vital. It's another point towards that top-three target - and Newcastle have lost at Wigan
SONG WITH THE THROUGH-BALL... but that's straight through to Begovic. Such a pity, that was a good position for Arsenal
SZCZESNY CLAIMS THE HIGH BALL: Confident keeping from Wojciech and Arsenal come forward again
CORNER TO ARSENAL: But that is easily cleared and Stoke win the free kick much to Wenger's disgust
WALTERS GOES CLOSE: Another escape for Arsenal as Walters gets free on the left and clips a shot across goal
WELL DONE SAGNA: He got to the flick-on from Delap's long throw - otherwise it would have been 2-1
WE'RE INTO STOPPAGE TIME: Four minutes will be added on as Stoke win a throw on the right. Delap time... and that's hooked away from under the crossbar!
VERMAELEN SHOOTS... and that fizzes just wide. Good effort from the centre back
RVP IS TRIPPED: Whitehead the guilty party and Arsenal have a free kick just under 30 yards out
QUICK FREE-KICK: Santos and Rosicky link up and Arsenal have a throw deep in Stoke territory. The ball comes in... and Sagna volleys but that won't trouble Begovic
SANTOS TRIES HIS LUCK: That's a good run from the Brazilian but he's stopped on the edge of the box
HERE COME ARSENAL: RVP to Chamakh, who returns the favour. Diaby gets on the ball and Arsenal can knock it around in midfield. Can they fashion a chance?
Substitution STOKE CHANGE: Etherington is replaced by Delap
REMINDER: Stay online after the final whistle for our post-match debate. Tim Peters and Martin Hayes will be taking your calls as well as your e-mails so phone the studio on 020 7607 3200 (from inside the UK) or +44 20 7607 3200 (from outside the UK).
Substitution FINAL ARSENAL CHANGE: Santos replaces the impressive Benayoun
SZCZESNY SAVES: Jerome gets a sight of goal and Wojciech shows good reflexes to push his shot away
DIABY PENALISED: The foul is for a high foot, but he brought it down perfectly. Wenger is angry again and you can understand why
DIABY DOES WELL: He drifts past two challenges but the pass towards Chamakh is overhit
Substitution CHAMAKH COMES ON: And it's Gervinho who comes off. Interesting move. Perhaps it will allow RVP space as Chamakh goes up alongside the centre backs
Substitution STOKE CHANGE: Pennant comes off, Jerome comes on
CAN'T BELIEVE THAT WASN'T GIVEN: Wenger is furious and the Stoke fans are loving that. To make matters worse the ref gives Pennant a free kick for a much less obvious foul
PENALTY? SURELY? RVP gets into the box and squares for Benayoun - and he's shoved to the ground by Whelan. Big shout for a spot-kick but Chris Foy says no
WOULD YOU TAKE A DRAW? Have your say on Twitter using the #ArsenalLive hashtag
REMINDER: Stay online after the final whistle for our post-match debate. Tim Peters and Martin Hayes will be taking your calls as well as your e-mails so phone the studio on 020 7607 3200 (from inside the UK) or +44 20 7607 3200 (from outside the UK).
Substitution RAMSEY SHOOTS... and that's just wide. It's his last action as Abou Diaby comes on for the last 15 minutes or so
RVP RUNS UP... and hammers it into the wall. Vermaelen with the follow-up... and that's blocked too. Good defending to be fair
FREE-KICK TO ARSENAL: Vermaelen is tripped and that's a perfect position for RVP
CROUCH BEATS SAGNA: But Koscielny wins the ball off Etherington... and promptly loses it again. Where was the call?
SZCZESNY COMES TO CLAIM: He gets the ball but clatters Koscielny as well. He'll be OK though
WHITEHEAD SHOOTS... that takes a deflection and Stoke have a corner. Tense times for Arsenal fans
Yellow Card SONG GETS BOOKED: Chris Foy dishes out another card for a bad challenge
CHANCES AT A PREMIUM: Stoke have tightened up and Arsenal are getting so much space in midfield since the interval.
CROUCH TUMBLES: Stoke's fans bay for a penalty but he just seemed to lose his footing
RAMSEY TO GIBBS: Chance for Kieran to shoot and he goes first-time - but that's a great block
GOOD SKILLS: Yossi makes amends with some fine play, holding off two markers and getting a counter-attack going. Shawcross comes across to clear
Yellow Card YOSSI GOES IN THE BOOK: That's a cynical trip and a deserved yellow. No complaints
TIME FOR THE OX? Tell us what you think - join the debate on Twitter using the #ArsenalLive hashtag
WHITEHEAD BREAKS CLEAR: He angles a pass towards Walters... but that is wildly overhit
ATTENDANCE: It's 27,502 if you're interested. We have a stoppage after Crouch takes a blow to the head. The away fans take the opportunity to wind up the home fans
BENAYOUN IN THE BOX: Gervinho finds him and Yossi ghosts past one challenge but Shawcross stops him
MISTAKES CREEPING IN: Rosicky gives it away, then Stoke lose possession cheaply. Hard to pick a winner right now
Substitution STOKE CHANGE: Shotton is replaced by Upson
VERMAELEN SHOOTS: But that's high and wide. The defender got forward and cut inside his man, but that was over-excitement
LIMBERING UP: The Ox, Chamakh and Diaby are warming up on the touchline
SZCZESNY HAS TO BE QUICK! A risky back-pass from Gibbs forces the keeper to charge out - he just beats Walters to the ball and clears into the stand
WILSON TOWARDS CROUCH: Stoke have an overload on their right but Pennant's control deserts him and Arsenal get the throw
VAN PERSIE! Oh, what a chance that was. Sagna swings the cross in and a stooping header from RVP is saved by Begovic
STOKE PRESSURE: Pennant fires two crosses into the box and eventually Rosicky brings it away. Good start from the home side though
WELL IN GERVINHO: Tenacity, that's what we like to see. Mind you the pass didn't reach its intended recipient. Gervinho, like the whole team, is working hard
STOKE ON THE ATTACK: Early chance for the home side but Arsenal can get that away and hit Stoke on the counter. Benayoun to RVP but his shot is blocked... and Gervinho fires over
Kick Off WE'RE BACK UNDERWAY: Arsenal get us started as the wind-chill factor threatens to affect my typing
HERE COME THE PLAYERS: Both teams jog out of the tunnel. Arsenal will be attacking the end housing the travelling fans in the second half
HALF-TIME ANALYSIS: Tim Peters and Martin Hayes will take you through the first-half talking points back in the studio - so don't go anywhere
Half Time THAT'S ALL FOR NOW: Stoke got the early advantage here at the Britannia through Crouch's header but RVP equalised - thanks to an outstanding assist from Rosicky - and Arsenal have fashioned the best chances since then
INTO STOPPAGE TIME: And that won't take long - just one added minute
HUTH WITH THE SHOT: That's from a very long way out and rolls a very long way wide
EXCELLENT DELIVERY: Up goes Shawcross but Koscielny gets there to concede the corner. Nervous moments
ANOTHER FREE-KICK: And another chance for Pennant to curl it into Arsenal's box. RVP was penalised
HAVE YOUR SAY: Join the debate on Twitter using the #ArsenalLive hashtag. We'll print a selection of your comments right here
ARSENAL BREAK: Koscielny heads clear and RVP sends Rosicky clear on the left. His audacious cross is heading towards the skipper... but Begovic plucks the ball from the air
EVEN STEVENS: Stoke have come back into the game in the past few minutes
POOR FROM PENNANT: Stoke get a free kick but the former Gunner can't get it past the first defender
NEAT INTERPLAY: RVP to Gervinho, he returns the pass... and RVP can't quite slide the ball back into Gervinho's path
WALTERS GET CLATTERED: Koscielny just gave the striker a nudge and his momentum took him into Szczesny. The keeper came off better
WENGER WILL BE PLEASED: His team have battled well, passed it well and look bright and inventive. The final ball has been lacking - except for that beauty from Rosicky
STOKE THROW: Delap is not on the pitch but Shotton can lob them in. Here it comes... Song flicks it on and Benayoun hacks clear
CAPITALISE: Time to make hay while the sun shines in the opposition penalty area, as they say. Arsenal are enjoying lots of possession - now let's make it count
GOOD TEMPO: Arsenal are keeping the pace of their passing nice and high - and Stoke are struggling to keep up at times
GERVINHO WRIGGLES CLEAR: That's good positive stuff from the Ivorian but once again his final ball is poor. Frustrating for Arsenal
THE BREAK IS ON: Yossi picks out Rosicky and he shoots first time... but that's blocked and Stoke can counter... but the through-ball is poor. End to end stuff
SONG PENALISED: Not sure if the ref got that one right as Crouch runs into the Arsenal man. Stoke launch the free-kick - of course - but Szczesny can gather
WIGAN 2 NEWCASTLE 0: That's very good news from the DW Stadium. Come on Wigan!
E-MAIL OUR COMMENTATORS: It's www.arsenal.com/studio - Dan and Richard will field your e-mails during the game
HAVE YOUR SAY: Join the debate on Twitter using the #ArsenalLive hashtag. We'll print a selection of your comments right here
VERMAELEN AWAY: Stoke enjoy a burst of pressure and Pennant crosses from the right... but the big Belgian is there to nod clear
STRONG FROM KOSCIELNY: He gets ahead of Walters to deny Stoke an opening inside the box. At the other end RVP is just offside after bringing down a lofted pass
BLUSTERY: The wind is certainly a factor here. It's blowing Yossi's fine locks all over the place and it must make defending high balls that much more difficult
GERVINHO GOES THROUGH... and he lashes his shot over the bar. Good run and he was under pressure - but he should have hit the target
BREATHLESS STUFF: It's a really entertaining game this and Arsenal are in charge after levelling the scores
KOSCIELNY WITH THE HEADER! And that flies just over. He was on the stretch from RVP's free kick
VAN PERSIE SHOOTS FIRST TIME: But that one is blocked. Excellent spell for the Gunners
GERVINHO! Ooh, so close. Great ball from RVP to pick out Sagna's run and his cross is inches away from Gervinho in the six-yard box
RAMSEY GETS STUCK IN: Aaron wins a 50:50 against Whelan and that sums up the attitude in this Arsenal team today. They will not be bullied
AWAY FANS IN GOOD VOICE: The travelling Gooners are making all the noise at the moment
WELL PLAYED YOSSI: A word for Benayoun, whose tenacity in the build-up won the ball back for Arsenal. The away fans are singing his name and rightly so
WHAT A BALL FROM ROSICKY! Tomas got the perfect angle on that cross into the box - it completely took the back four and keeper out of the game. And RVP was there to tap it in for the equaliser!
GOAL! - Robin van Persie 1 : 1 YEEEESSSSS!!! ROBIN VAN PERSIE!!!
RAMSEY WITH THE SHOT: That's a good effort but it flies a yard wide. More good build-up play from the visitors
BACK COME ARSENAL: Song tries to muscle his way through but the ball is shepherded out for a goal kick. No need to panic - Arsenal have played some decent stuff so far and have had two great chances
HAVE YOUR SAY: Join the debate on Twitter using the #ArsenalLive hashtag. We'll print a selection of your comments right here
GREAT LEAP FROM CROUCH: He climbed above Vermaelen and Szczesny could do nothing about that - it was a powerful, well-placed header
GOAL! - Peter Crouch 1 : 0 STOKE HAVE THE LEAD: Etherington crosses from the left and Crouch leaps high to power a header past Szczesny
GREAT CHANCE RVP! Rosicky with a fine cross and the captain's downward header is pushed away by Begovic. Excellent save... and the corner is cleared
ARSENAL GAINING MOMENTUM: Yossi runs at the heart of the Stoke defence and almost plays in Gervinho. Stoke on the back foot
OH, YOSSI! Excellent pressure from Benayoun to close down his man, RVP slides a return ball to him and he's through on goal... but the left-foot shot lacks power
CROUCH WITH THE HEADER: He's been prominent in the early stages but the offside flag stopped him there
STOKE ARE WELL UP FOR THIS: As they always are. But Arsenal get their first sniff of goal as a high ball almost picks out RVP
Yellow Card OUCH: Whitehead goes in on Song and earns a yellow card. His studs were up
RAMSEY AND SAGNA CLASH: Both men go up for a header which Whelan wins and Aaron comes off badly. He's OK to carry on though
EARLY PRESSURE: Shotton crosses to the back post and Crouch leaps high but Vermaelen wins the second ball
SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT: The home fans have sung that ironically since their style was described as "rugby" by a certain someone
Kick Off WE'RE UNDERWAY AT THE BRITANNIA: Stoke kick off and attack the away end in the first half. Come on Arsenal!
E-MAIL OUR COMMENTATORS: Dan Roebuck and Richard Clarke are sat along from me, calling the shots on today's game. Send your e-mails via www.arsenal.com/studio
HAVE YOUR SAY: Join the debate on Twitter using the #ArsenalLive hashtag. We'll print a selection of your comments right here
HUDDLE TIME: Arsenal's players embrace in the centre circle as the wind ruffles their blue shirts. I wonder if that will be a factor today?
HERE THEY COME: RVP leads out the Arsenal in their change kit of all blue. Ryan Shawcross leads out Stoke. 'The 12th Man - Loud And Proud' is the message on a banner in the main stand. It's certainly noisy
YOU ONLY GET ONE SHOT: Eminem's Lose Yourself is the pre-match tune of choice here at the Britannia. Hopefully we'll get more than one shot
TEN MINUTES TO GO: A guard of honour awaits the players - as does a strong wind. Not ideal conditions at the Britannia but the pitch does look in good shape

Olympics Opening Ceremony promises big surprise
Director Danny Boyle spent 4 years planning show
Friday night is the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony, and "Slumdog Millionaire" director Danny Boyle is running the show.
People aren't the greatest at keeping secrets, but few hate to spoil a surprise. That observation plus a clever hashtag equals success for the Oscar-winning director.
While athletes wrap themselves around what it means to be an Olympian and crews wrap up last-minute details outside the Olympic Stadium, the secret of what will happen inside at the Opening Ceremony remained under wraps.
"Hopefully (singer) Adele will be there. We don't know. I'm looking forward to it. Maybe the queen will show up," said Team USA hurdler Aries Merritt.
It took Boyle four years to plan the show that 1 billion are expected to watch.
"We're the first games where social networking plays such a big role. To keep anything a surprise is difficult," Boyle said.
That's why he came up with #savethesurprise. It's effective and fun.
@flutelicious writes, "The climax where the queen and (President Barack) Obama sing 'Don't Go Breaking my Heart' on roller skates is unbelievable."
People actually started using the hashtag to call each other out on leaks.
@suzyj posted, "I was just unfriended on Gacebook by a gamesmaker as I asked her not to post pictures to Opening Ceremony spoilers."
"Save the surprise. It's positive and it will delight people," Boyle said.
Boyle said part of his show will celebrate instant communication. He said he'll do his best to keep the show on time and that the the biggest challenge is planning for the Parade of Nations, since he has no idea how many athletes will show up Friday night.

WASHINGTON -- House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) vowed Wednesday that Republicans would repeal whatever parts of health care reform remain standing following Thursday's highly anticipated Supreme Court ruling -- even if doing so would jeopardize insurance coverage for thousands of people.
"We've made it pretty clear and I'll make it clear one more time: If the court does not strike down the entire law, the House will move to repeal what's left of it," Boehner said.
A House Republican leadership aide confirmed that Boehner would not spare the law's fledgling high-risk pool program. The Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, as it is formally known, is a Republican-inspired component of the Affordable Care Act currently insuring 67,000 Americans. A similar high-risk pool program formed a major plank of the GOP alternative to health care reform in 2009.
"The White House did a truly craptastically lousy job designing their high-risk pools," the Republican aide said. "If we do something on this topic, it would be based on our better policy solutions, like the one in the House Republican alternative during the debate in 2009. So starting with repealing everything is the best option."
The PCIP offers market-rate premiums to people with pre-existing conditions who have been uninsured for six months or longer. Initially, Obama administration officials expected the program to reach hundreds of thousands. Instead, far fewer people have enrolled, and the cost of insuring them has been double what officials expected.
The Obama administration has said the PCIP was merely designed to serve as a "bridge" to 2014, when the law would ban insurance companies from discriminating against people with pre-existing conditions.
If the Supreme Court strikes down the entire health care law, it's not clear what would happen to people enrolled in the PCIP, except it seems likely they would not get to keep their insurance. However, many legal observers expect at least some parts of the law to pass constitutional muster. Several PCIP enrollees have told HuffPost they are worried about what the high court might do.
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives, for its part, has repealed the Affordable Care Act before, but it hasn't received any cooperation from the Democratic Senate.
Jennifer Bendery contributed reporting.
Below, the biggest lies told during the debate over health care reform:
One of the more positive sounding admonitions from health care reform opponents was that the United States had "the best health care in the world," so why would you mess with it? Well, it's true that if you want the experience the pinnacle of medical care, you come to the United States. And if you want the pinnacle of haute cuisine, you go to Per Se. If you want the pinnacle of commercial air travel, you get a first class seat on British Airways. Now, naturally, you wouldn't let just anyone mess with someone's tasting menu or state-of-the-art air-beds. But like anything that's "the best," the best health care in the world isn't for everybody. The costs are prohibitively high, the access is prohibitively exclusive, and the resources are prohibitively scarce. What do the people in America who "fly coach" in the health care system get? Well, at the time of the health care reform debate, they were participating in a system that was, by all objective measurements, overpriced and underperforming -- if you were lucky enough to be participating in it. As anyone who's fortunate enough to have employer based health care or unfortunate enough to have a pre-existing condition can tell you, health care for ordinary people already involved all of those things that we were told would be a feature of the Affordable Care Act -- long waits, limited choice, and rationing. When the Commonwealth Fund rated health care systems by nation, the top marks in the surveyed categories went to the United Kingdom, New Zealand and the Netherlands. Ezra Klein examined the study, and observed: "The issue isn't just that we don't have universal health care. Our delivery system underperforms, too. 'Even when access and equity measures are not considered, the U.S. ranks behind most of the other countries on most measures. With the inclusion of primary care physician survey data in the analysis, it is apparent that the U.S. is lagging in adoption of national policies that promote primary care, quality improvement, and information technology.'"
The only thing that perhaps matched the vastness of the spread or the depth of the traction of the "death panel" lie was the predictability that such a lie would come to be told in the first place. After all, this was a Democratic president trying to sell a new health care reform plan with the intention of opening access and reducing cost to millions of Americans who had gone without for so long. What's the best way to counter it? Tell everyone that millions of Americans would have increased access ... to Death! The best account of how the "death panel" myth was born into this world and spread like garbage across the landscape has been penned by Brendan Nyhan, who in 2010 wrote "Why the "Death Panel" Myth Wouldn't Die: Misinformation in the Health Care Reform Debate." You should go read the whole thing. But to summarize, the lie began where many lies about health care reform begin -- with serial liar Betsy McCaughey, who in 1994 polluted the pages of the New Republic with a staggering pile of deception in an effort to scuttle President Bill Clinton's health care reform. As Nyhan documents, she re-emerged in 2009 when "she invented the false claim that the health care legislation in Congress would result in seniors being directed to 'end their life sooner.'" Nyhan: "McCaughey's statement was a reference to a provision in the Democratic health care bill that would have provided funding for an advanced care planning for Medicare recipients once every five years or more frequently if they become seriously ill. As independent fact-checkers showed (PolitiFact.com 2009b; FactCheck.org 2009a), her statement that these consultations would be mandatory was simply false--they would be entirely voluntary. Similarly, there is no evidence that Medicare patients would be pressured during these consultations to "do what's in society's best interest...and cut your life short." But the match that lit the death panel flame was not McCaughey, it was Sarah Palin, who repeated McCaughey's claims in a Facebook posting and invented the term "death panel." As Nyhan reports, Palin's claims were met with condemnation from independent observers and factcheckers, but the virality of the term "death panel" far outstripped its own debunking. To this day, the shorthand for this outrageous falsehood remains more firmly planted in the discourse than the truth. One thing worth pointing out is that Palin, in creating the term "death panel," intended to deceive people with it. In an interview with the National Review, Palin admitted: "The term I used to describe the panel making these decisions should not be taken literally." Rather, it was "a lot like when President Reagan used to refer to the Soviet Union as the 'evil empire.' He got his point across." Of course, while Reagan was exaggerating for effect, he wasn't trying to prey on the goodwill of those who were listening to him.
Naturally, the GOP greeted anything that the Obama White House did -- from regulating pollution to flossing after meals -- as something that would "kill jobs." The Affordable Care Act was no different. As you might recall, Republicans' first attempt at repeal came in the form of an inartfully named law called the "Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act." But did the health reform plan threaten jobs? Not by any honest measure. Per McClatchy Newspapers: "The claim has no justification," said Micah Weinberg, a senior research fellow at the centrist New America Foundation's Health Policy Program. Since the law contains dual mandates that most individuals must obtain health insurance coverage and most employers must offer it by 2014, "the effect on employment is probably zero or close to it," said Amitabh Chandra, a professor of public policy at Harvard University. As McClatchy reported, the "job-killing" claim creatively used the "lie of omission" -- relying on "out of date" data or omitting "offsetting information that would weaken the argument." The Congressional Budget Office, playing it straight, deemed it essentially too premature to measure what the effect the bill would have on the labor market. At the time, Speaker John Boehner dismissed the CBO, saying, "CBO is entitled to their opinion." Perhaps, but lately, job growth in the health care industry has bucked the economic downturn and health care has remained a robust sector of employment. And it stands to reason that enrolling another 30 million Americans into health insurance will increase the demand for health care services and products, which in turn should trigger the creation of more jobs. Is there a downside? Sure. More demand, and greater labor costs, could push health care prices upward even as other effects of health reform push them down. But it's more likely that repealing the bill will have a negative impact on jobs than retaining it.
The only thing more important than painting the Affordable Care Act as a certain killer of jobs was to paint it as a certain murderer of America's fiscal future. Surely this big government program was going to push indebtedness to such a height that our servitude to our future Chinese overlords was a fait accompli. As Ryan Grim reported in May of 2010, the CBO disagreed: Comprehensive health care reform will cost the federal government $940 billion over a ten-year period, but will increase revenue and cut other costs by a greater amount, leading to a reduction of $138 billion in the federal deficit over the same period, according to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office, a Democratic source tells HuffPost. It will cut the deficit by $1.2 trillion over the second ten year period. The source said it also extends Medicare's solvency by at least nine years and reduces the rate of its growth by 1.4 percent, while closing the doughnut hole for seniors, meaning there will no longer be a gap in coverage of medication. Recently, the CBO updated its ten-year estimate by dropping off the first two years of the law (where there was little to no implementation) and adding two years at the back end (during which time there would be full implementation). As you might imagine, replacing two years of low numbers with two years of higher numbers increased the ten-year estimate. But opponents of the bill immediately freaked out and declared the costs to have skyrocketed. As Jonathan Chait reported: The outcry was so widespread that the CBO took the unusual step of releasing a second update to explain to outraged conservatives that they were completely misreading the whole thing: "Some of the commentary on those reports has suggested that CBO and JCT have changed their estimates of the effects of the ACA to a significant degree. That's not our perspective. ... Although the latest projections extend the original ones by three years (corresponding to the shift in the regular ten-year projection period since the ACA was first being developed), the projections for each given year have changed little, on net, since March 2010." That is CBO-speak for: "Go home. You people are all crazy." As Chait goes on to note, the CBO now projects that "the law would reduce the deficit by slightly more than it had originally forecast."
Normally, if you tell Republicans that you're going to cut $500 billion from Medicare, they will respond by saying, "Hooray, but could we make it $700 billion?" But the moment they got it into their heads that the Affordable Care Act would make that cut from Medicare, suddenly everyone from the party of ending Medicare As We Know It, Forever got all hot with concern about what would happen to these longstanding recipients of government health care. In fairness, as Factcheck pointed out, the GOP opponents of Obama's plan were simply picking up a cudgel that had recently been wielded by the president himself: Whether these are "cuts" or much-needed "savings" depends on the political expedience of the moment, it seems. When Republican Sen. John McCain, then a presidential candidate, proposed similar reductions to pay for his health care plan, it was the Obama camp that attacked the Republican for cutting benefits. Nevertheless! Whatever you want to call them, it's a $500 billion reduction in the growth of future spending over 10 years, not a slashing of the current Medicare budget or benefits. It's true that those who get their coverage through Medicare Advantage's private plans (about 22 percent of Medicare enrollees) would see fewer add-on benefits; the bill aims to reduce the heftier payments made by the government to Medicare Advantage plans, compared with regular fee-for-service Medicare. The New England Journal of Medicine concurred: A phased elimination of the substantial overpayments to Medicare Advantage plans, which now enroll nearly 25% of Medicare beneficiaries, will produce an estimated $132 billion in savings over 10 years. [...] The ACA also produces nearly $200 billion in savings by assuming that providers can improve their productivity as firms in other industries have done. On the basis of this presumed improvement, the law reduces Medicare's annual "market basket" updates for most types of providers - a provision that has generated controversy. The law doesn't cut any customer benefits, just the amount that providers get paid. Hospitals and drug companies agreed to these cuts based on the calculation that more people with insurance meant more people consuming what they sell and, more importantly for the hospitals, fewer people getting treated and simply not paying for it.
This lie was launched to prominence with the help of a false accuser, South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson, who famously heckled President Barack Obama during an address to a Joint Session of Congress by yelling "You lie!" after the president had mentioned that undocumented immigrants would not be eligible for the credits for the bill's proposed health care exchanges. As Time's Michael Scherer pointed out, this was not much of a challenge for factcheckers: In the Senate Finance Committee's working framework for a health plan, which Obama's speech seemed most to mimic, there is the line, "No illegal immigrants will benefit from the health care tax credits." Similarly, the major health-care-reform bill to pass out of committee in the House, H.R. 3200, contains Section 246, which is called "NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS." In fact, as Ezra Klein pointed out, the Affordable Care Act "goes out of its way to exclude" undocumented immigrants: As the AP points out...there are about 7 million unauthorized immigrants who will be prohibited from buying insurance on the newly created exchanges, even if they pay out of their own pocket. And the exclusion of this group from health reform -- along with other restrictions that affect fully legal immigrants as well -- could create a massive coverage gap that puts a strain on the rest of the health system as well. Klein goes on to add that "immigrants-rights advocates tried to prevent this scenario from happening," but they ended up losing to the politics of the day. The concession they won was a promise from the president that he would shepherd a comprehensive immigration reform package through the legislature. They lost that round, too.
Were health care policies dear to Republicans left out of the health care reform bill? Totally! Unless we're counting the following: --Deficit-neutral bill --Longterm cost reduction --Interstate competition that allows consumers to purchase insurance across state lines --Medical malpractice reform --High-risk pools --An extension of the time young people were allowed to remain on their parents' policies --No public money for abortion --Small business exemptions/tax credits --Job wellness programs --Delivery system reform In fact, the Democrats were eager to get GOP input and enthusiastic about including many of their desired components in the bill. Oh, and did we mention that the Affordable Care Act was modeled on a reform designed and implemented by a former Republican governor and presidential candidate, whose innovation was widely celebrated by the GOP while said former governor was running for president? And did we mention that the individual mandate that was used in Romneycare to ensure "no free riders" was originally dreamed up by the Heritage Foundation? And did we add that additional DNA of the Affordable Care Act was borrowed from the Senate GOP alternative to the Clinton plan in the 1990s and the 2009 Bipartisan Policy Committee plan, which was endorsed by Tom Daschle, Howard Baker, and Bob Dole? As for the process, you might recall that the White House very patiently waited for the bipartisan Gang Of Six to weigh in with its own solution, and openly courted one Republican gang member, Sen. Chuck Grassley, long after it was clear to every reporter inside the Beltway that Grassley was intentionally acting in bad faith. And perhaps you don't recall the bipartisan health care summit that was held in March of 2009? if so, don't feel bad about it -- RNC Chairman Michael Steele couldn't remember it either, when he yelled at the president for not having one.
So, here's a fun little story about obscure parliamentary procedures. In May of 2010, as the health care reform michegas was steaming toward its endgame, it looked like the measure might fall. The Senate had passed a bill, but the House was stuck in a bit of a jam. It had no other choice but to take a vote on the Senate's bill, because if the House bill ended up in a conference committee to be reconciled with the Senate's, the whole resulting she-bang was assured of a filibuster, as the Democrats had, in the intervening period, lost their Senate supermajority. But the House had a problem. As I wrote at the time: House members are averse to doing anything that looks like they approve of the various side-deals that were made in the Senate -- like the so-called "Cornhusker Kickback." The House intends to remove those unpopular features in budget reconciliation, but if they pursue budget reconciliation on a standard legislative timeline -- where they pass the Senate bill outright first and then go back to pass a reconciliation package of fixes -- they'd still appear to be endorsing the sketchy side deals, and then the GOP would jump up and down on their heads. Enter "deem and pass." Under this process, the House will simply skip to approving the reconciliation fixes, and "deem" the Senate bill to be passed. By doing it this way, the Democrats get the Senate bill passed while simultaneously coming out against the unpopular features of the same. "Deem and pass" is the aforementioned obscure parliamentary procedure. And here's the thing about obscure parliamentary procedures -- everyone loves them when their side is doing them, but when they're being done to you, then they are basically evil schemes from the blasted plains of Hell. So if you're guessing that the Republicans declared the Democrats' use of "deem and pass" -- which also carried the moniker "the Slaughter Rule," after Rep. Louise Slaughter, who proposed its use in this instance -- to be a monstrous and unprecedented abuse of power, then give yourself a prize! And give yourself a bonus if you guessed that in reality, the GOP had used "deem and pass" lots of times. As Ryan Grim reported, "deeming resolutions" had been in use dating back to 1933, and in 2005 and 2006, Republicans employed them 36 times. Other Republicans complained that Slaughter was supporting a tactic that she once vigorously opposed. That's true! She fought the "deem and pass" during the Bush administration and lost. Which is precisely when she learned how effective it could be!
Lots of people wouldn't mind having better access to more affordable health care. But what if it came with thousands of IRS agents, picking through your stool sample? That sounds pretty bad. It also sounds pretty implausible! But that was no impediment to multiple health care reform opponents making claims that the tax man was COMMINAGETCHA! In this case, the individual mandate -- which requires people to purchase insurance or incur a tax penalty -- provided the fertile soil for this deception to spread. A March 2010 floor speech from a panicked Sen. John Ensign was typical of the genre: My amendment goes to the heart of one of the problems with this bill. There is an individual mandate that puts fines on people that can also attach civil penalties. And 16,500 new IRS agents are going to be required to be hired because of the health care reform bill. March of 2010 was a pretty great time for this particular lie. In one five day period, Ensign was joined by Reps. Paul Ryan ("There is an individual mandate. It mandates individuals purchase government-approved health insurance or face a fine to be collected by the IRS which will need $10 billion additional and 16,500 new IRS agents to police and enforce this mandate."), Pete Sessions ("16,000 new IRS agents will be hired simply to make sure that this health care bill is enforced.") and Cliff Stearns ("There is $10 billion to hire about 16,000 new IRS agents to enforce the individual mandate on every American"). All wrong! Per Factcheck: This wildly inaccurate claim started as an inflated, partisan assertion that 16,500 new IRS employees might be required to administer the new law. That devolved quickly into a claim, made by some Republican lawmakers, that 16,500 IRS "agents" would be required. Republican Rep. Ron Paul of Texas even claimed in a televised interview that all 16,500 would be carrying guns. None of those claims is true. The IRS' main job under the new law isn't to enforce penalties. Its first task is to inform many small-business owners of a new tax credit that the new law grants them -- starting this year -- which will pay up to 35 percent of the employer's contribution toward their workers' health insurance. And in 2014 the IRS will also be administering additional subsidies -- in the form of refundable tax credits -- to help millions of low- and middle-income individuals buy health insurance. The law does make individuals subject to a tax, starting in 2014, if they fail to obtain health insurance coverage. But IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman testified before a hearing of the House Ways and Means Committee March 25 that the IRS won't be auditing individuals to certify that they have obtained health insurance. As Factcheck goes on to note, on page 131 of the bill that was passed, the IRS is explicitly prohibited from "from using the liens and levies commonly used to collect money owed by delinquent taxpayers, and rules out any criminal penalties for individuals who refuse to pay the tax or those who don't obtain coverage."
Oh, Congresscritters, the poor dears! So many bills to read and so little time -- between raising campaign cash at lush fundraisers and receiving marching orders from powerful corporate interests -- to actually read them all. And this Affordable Care Act was a real humdinger of a long bill. And long bills are bad because length implies complication and complication requires study and study implies some form of "work." So the proper thing to do is to mulch the entire print run of the bill and use it to power the boiler that heats the "sex dungeon" in the Longworth Office Building, the end! Actually, reading the bill is not that hard, despite the complaints. As the folks at Computational Legal Studies were able to divine: Those versed in the typesetting practices of the United States Congress know that the printed version of a bill contains a significant amount of whitespace including non-trivial space between lines, large headers and margins, an embedded table of contents, and large font. For example, consider page 12 of the printed version of H.R. 3962. This page contains fewer than 150 substantive words. We believe a simple page count vastly overstates the actual length of bill. Rather than use page counts, we counted the number of words contained in the bill and compared these counts to the number of words in the existing United States Code. In addition, we consider the number of text blocks in the bill -- where a text block is a unit of text under a section, subsection, clause, or sub-clause. As HuffPost noted in March of 2010, "the total number of words in the House Health Reform Bill are 363,086," and when you throw out the words in the titles and tables of contents and whatnot, leaving only words that "impact substantive law," the word count drops to 234,812. "Harry Potter And the Order Of The Phoenix," a popular book read by small children, is 257,000 words long. (Although in fairness to Congress, the Affordable Care Act contains very few exciting accounts of Quidditch matches.)
We couldn't have a list of Affordable Care Act distortions without noting the ways some of your 2012ers have added to the canon. Herman Cain said that if the ACA had been implemented, he'd be dead. Not likely! The new law expands coverage so that uninsured individuals who face what Cain faced (cancer) have a better chance of getting coverage, and it restricts insurers from tossing cancer patients off the rolls based on their "pre-existing condition." But more to the point, Cain would have always been the wealthy guy who could afford to choose his doctor and pick the care he wanted. The Affordable Care Act doesn't prohibit wealthy people from spending money. Rick Santorum says that his daughter, who is diagnosed with a genetic disorder called trisomy 18 and who required special needs care, would be "denied care" under the Affordable Care Act. Nope! Again, the law restricts insurers from throwing people with pre-existing conditions off their rolls. And for individuals under 19, that went into effect in September of 2010. Michele Bachmann believes that the Affordable Care Act would open "sex clinics" in public schools. This is Michele Bachmann we're talking about. Do you even need to ask? And finally, Mitt Romney has said, as recently as March 5, that he never intended his CommonwealthCare reform to serve as a "model for the nation." "Very early on," he insisted, "we were asked -- is what you've done in Massachusetts something you would have the entire government do, the federal government do? I said no, from the very beginning." Unless "very early on" and "from the very beginning" mean something different from the conventional definition of those phrases, Romney should augment his daily pharmaceutical intake with some memory-enhancing gingko biloba.
Obviously, we did what we could to include as many of these lies and distortions as possible, but there's no way to include them all.

Production Rehearsals, Monterey
Bed at 7am and up at 3pm when a bunch of dazed roadies were picked up from the crew hotel. I had all my bags piled up on the sidewalk - the band party arrives today so I am transferring to their hotel.
The cold of last night seemed to have stayed on and it was pretty chilly all day. At the gig, all was noise and activity with soundchecks and preparations for the run through. The band came in around 5 and we had a quick huddle to figure out the set list. Were getting into a situation now where we have so many great songs worked up that the show is potentially too long. The Edge always laughs and says 'Ah, its great value for money!' but the truth is that if even a great show is too long it throws out the dynamics of the whole event. For U2 something in the region of two hours ten minutes seems to work the best. Weve touched two and a half hours on occasion and even though the crowd is delighted, you can feel them getting tired. That said, I have been pretty determined to get 'Bad' into the main set for this leg, so we decided to add it in, even though we couldnt find another song to drop to make way for it.
Regular readers will know that playing without an audience has never been U2s strongest suit, so imagine our surprise when the four of them got up there and played the entire set from start to finish without stopping. We were stunned and the crowd outside the stadium were loving it. (Hearing the far off chant of 'EL-E-VA-TION' was hilarious from inside the deserted venue.)
We had a brief catch up afterwards but agreed to meet at noon tomorrow to make a final plan. It had got really quite cold again by this time, so we sent the crew for cups of tea before settling in to another nights programming. Most of what we did last night was pretty good, but the new visuals for 'End of the World' needed some tidying up and the visuals for 'One' didnt work - it was all too big and distracting. Both of these we worked on and made a big improvement.
'End of the World' uses footage of fall out from atomic bomb tests, taken from a U.S. government archive film reel which - en masse and in isolation - makes for incredibly depressing viewing. By way of redeeming it in the name of art, we abstracted it, chopped it up and put it through an interference blender, so it now has the look of the band coming through your TV during a nuclear war. Its just charming. I also took another run at 'One' and nailed it. Much simpler, less busy, fewer words and more buffalo. How could I have been so blind?
By 4.30am we were seeing double so bailed. Were in great shape given how quickly everybody had to get back into this. Dropped all the lads off at the crew hotel and was glad the runner knew where my hotel was as I didnt have a clue. Its gone 5am, meeting with Bono at noon, so Id better get off line and get some sleep.

In the interest of friendly academic discussion, I'm going to take exception with the pecan pie map (slide 10). As the author of the book "Pecans: A Savor the South Cookbook," I have listened to endless debate over "PEE-can" vs. "pah-CAHN." I also have my own family history (many generations in Georgia) to back me up. In my experience, it isn't regional. It's town vs. country. If you are rural (or want to sound down-home), you say "PEE-can." If you're urban or want to sound more educated, you say "pah-CAHN." I've met people from upstate NY who say "PEE-can" and many, many people from Atlanta who say "pah-CAHN." I even met a woman from the Arkansas/Missouri border who said "peck-in," which is close to the original American Indian word. Really interesting to me: If you say the nut one way, you may say the pie differently. Something to do with the number of syllables, apparently.

House postpones federal pay freeze vote
Tuesday - 1/22/2013, 5:01pm EST
The House has postponed a vote on a bill to extend the federal pay freeze through the rest of 2013.
The House had been scheduled to vote Wednesday on a bill introduced last week by Rep. Ron DeSantis that would block the slight pay raise — 0.5 percent — for federal workers mandated by President Barack Obama last month.
In its place, the House is set to vote on a measure withholding congressional pay unless lawmakers pass a budget — part of a broader deal to extend the debt limit.
The weekly floor schedule posted on the website for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor states the House will consider Wednesday "Legislation Conditioning an Increase in the Nation's Debt Limit Upon Congress Passing a Budget."
That's a reference to a bill known as "No Budget, No Pay," introduced by Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.), which temporarily lifts the debt limit but also requires both chambers of Congress to pass a budget or else have their members' pay withheld.
The pay provision is aimed squarely at the Democratic-controlled Senate, which hasn't passed a budget in nearly four years.
Camp's bill extends the government's borrowing authority to cover government spending through May 19 but also would withhold lawmakers' salaries (and place them in escrow) if the respective chamber they hail from fails to pass a fiscal 2014 budget by April 15.
DeSantis' pay freeze bill had garnered a large number of co-sponsors. It's unclear when it will be taken up again. Federal News Radio has requested comment from Cantor's office.
Supporters of the bill said the government couldn't afford to lift the freeze on federal pay, which, supporters contended, would cost $11 billion over 10 years.
Federal-employee unions blasted the proposal saying feds have already contributed billions of dollars in deficit reduction through the current two-year pay freeze.

- How to Read a Study Record
- Liver disease is a leading cause of death in people who have the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It especially affects those who have both HIV and hepatitis B or C viruses. Most research on HIV-related liver disease has been conducted in North America and Europe. However, HIV-related liver disease in Uganda and other African nations may involve other diseases that are not common in the West, and may not involve hepatitis B or C. Researchers want to study HIV-related liver disease in Uganda to learn more about the differences between Western and African trends of this disease.
- To study HIV-related liver disease in rural Uganda.
- Individuals at least 18 years of age who were tested for possible liver disease. Some participants will have HIV infection; others will be uninfected.
- All participants will be from rural areas of Uganda.
- Participants will have at least two study visits.
- Participants will have a physical exam and medical history. They will complete a questionnaire about health and quality of life. Blood, urine, and stool samples will be collected. Participants will also have a liver scan to check for liver scarring, and an ultrasound to take images of the liver.
- Participants who may have liver disease will visit a local hospital for more tests. A liver biopsy will be performed to collect liver tissue samples.

Study Type: | Observational |
Official Title: | HIV-Accelerated Liver Disease in Uganda |
Estimated Enrollment: | 1000 |
Study Start Date: | December 2011 |
With improved survival following the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), liver disease has become a leading cause of death among HIV-infected persons in Western cohorts, primarily affecting those co-infected with hepatitis B or C viruses (HBV, HCV). However, data are sparse on liver disease in HIV-infected populations from Uganda and other African nations, where the etiologies of liver disease are broader and include aflatoxin, schistosomiasis and other infectious and environmental agents. Our previous noninvasive study in rural, Rakai, Uganda indicates that the prevalence of significant liver fibrosis is high among HIV-infected individuals (17%) and is 50% higher than in HIV-uninfected persons, although the prevalence of viral hepatitis B co-infection is low (5%). The study presented here is a biopsy-based study that follows up on these results with the objectives of defining the etiology of liver disease and describing the mechanisms of HIV-accelerated liver fibrosis in this setting.

Poor Quality
I'm surprised at the high ratings for this belt. It peels!!! seems unavoidable. As soon as I start adjusting it, first use, paint started to peel. Nice color, but how long will it stay that way?

Horse Shoe Skinny Belt
Nice basic belt. Can be used with both jeans or dress pants.

Good for a cheap belt
I wish TL offered better quality belts. This one is OK for the price. I liked the idea of the back being adjustable, so I could wear it with lower skirts and pants, but unfortunately it doesn't stay in place and I need to constantly readjust it. It's better to invest in more expensive, better quality pieces...

Snake charmer
I bought the horseshoe belt in the snake pattern. I expecting more of a black, gray and white belt, but was surprised and excited to see all of the subtle colors in the belt when it arrived. With shades of brown, gray, black and cream, I can already tell that this will be a major part of my wardrobe this fall. Great piece Limited!

Comments On Dec 21, 2014:I have been using Pivot Works for a long time! In the past have had no problems. My kit for my 250 SX-F is junk. No snap rings included for the upper shock bearing. The dust seals for the pivot bearing weren't beveled and total junk. VERY DISAPPOINTED! Won't be paying the extra $$ for Pivot Works ever again.

Comments On Apr 14, 2014:These bearings seemed to have a lot of play even when they were installed right out of the box. Also the top shock bearing would not fit unless I rounded it off a little. Will not buy these again not worth the hassle.

Comments On May 28, 2013:if installed properly, with a press not a hammer and socket, these bearings work great! I used these on my yz250f. I've seen a few reviews saying there was still slop after installing. yamahas pre 09 do inherently have a couple mm of play that comes from the design of the link and pivot, I've owned and worked on enough of these bikes to know that's just how they are. it's not the shock bearing!

Comments On Oct 06, 2012:After already purchasing a set of Pivot Works Shock Bearing earlier in the year i was very pleased with the quality. But this next set i received are completely worthless. As soon as the shock was on the bike and tightened up there was more slop and play in the shock than i had before i replaced the old bearings without even riding it yet. I dont think i will ever purchase another Pivot Works Bearing and am very dissappointed with the quality of the bearings. I will not reccomend Pivot Works Bearings to anyone .

State budget
Over the past several months, the State Budget Committee has been conducting public hearings to receive funding requests from state agencies and public universities. Committee recommendations will then be included in a state budget proposal, which must originate in the House of Representatives. Although the legislature will be considering a budget bill over the next few months, budget negotiators will wait for the next fiscal forecast in April to make final decisions on state appropriations. A few of the issues that will impact budget deliberations include funding for transportation needs, full day kindergarten and pre-school programs, higher education initiatives, and implementation of health care reform.
Health care reform
Several Senate Democrats rolled out a plan that would implement a state-based health care exchange for Indiana with benefits and coverage defined by Hoosiers. Included in Senate Bill (SB) 540 are three components that address both the exchange and the expansion of health care to working Hoosier families. The bill would also create a study committee under the Department of Insurance to evaluate the best options for essential benefits. SB 540 has been assigned to the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Senate Democrats host Latino Roundtable
Senate Democrats recently hosted their first Latino Roundtable at the Statehouse, which provided community leaders from around the state an opportunity to speak with legislators about some of the challenges facing the Hoosier Latino community. Education was a top concern with discussion focused on teaching English at an earlier age, establishing mentors for high school students, and breaking down barriers to a college education. Future meetings will include discussions on health care, the criminal justice system, and cultural awareness.
Committee action
Members of the Senate Committee on Education and Career Development have heard several bills including SB 120, which would require school corporations and accredited nonpublic elementary schools to include cursive writing in its curriculum. The committee also heard several hours of testimony both for and against SB 193, a bill which would require that the state Board of Education may not adopt any common core educational standards developed by the Common Core State Standards Initiative. In addition, the legislation would void any previous action taken to adopt common core educational standards. Both bills were held for further consideration.
Legislation that would tighten existing law regarding background checks on school employees has gained the approval of the Senate Committee on Corrections and Criminal Law. SB 160 would amend current law to require school corporations to conduct a national criminal history background check on all job applicants. Testimony revealed that information received from the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) is updated regularly. (Current law allows for state background checks to be conducted, which are not as current as NCIC.) SB 160 now moves to the full Senate for further consideration.

Michigan Drug Crimes - Drug Charges in Macomb, Oakland And Wayne Counites
As a Michigan criminal defense lawyer with over 2 decades of experience handling cases involving drug possession charges, I have seen and wrestled with and resolved every facet that one of these cases can brings your life. This article will be a short examination of what it means to face a Michigan drug charge," and what can be done about it. The goal of hiring a lawyer in the first place is to make things better, so we'll see how that can be done, and how, in some cases, the entire charge can be made to "go away" and never show up on your record.
There really is no "typical" drug case. Even so, chances are, if you're reading this, a few relevant conclusions can be drawn about you: First, unless you're hopelessly bored and have otherwise read all the other books and articles in the world, either you, or someone you care about is contending with a drug charge right now. Second, if you've read this far, you are more interested in an intelligent discussion of this topic than a few short lawyer-centered statements like "tough," "aggressive," "experienced," or "call now!" This means that, whatever else, you, or whoever the person for whom you're doing this, has a life that matters. Given the level of my representation, none of my clients are "hard cases" that have squandered everything and everyone from their lives over a decades-long drug addiction.
Accordingly, I get a lot of "pill" cases, or cases involving someone with a good job having been caught with a little coke (not crack) or some marijuana. Often enough, I am contacted by a parent for a son or daughter whose association with the wrong crowd has led him or her to make some bad decisions, ending up with a drug charge. This is where the parents step in to protect their child's future rather than let him or her be handicapped with a drug conviction on his or her record before ever really venturing into the job market.
And if there is no "typical" drug case, there are certainly a few "typical" concerns that people of solid social status have when confronted with a drug charge. As I hinted at earlier, in my reference to "hard cases," the career drug addict locked up again, for the umpteenth time has no concerns about his or her record. Usually, his or her only concern is when they can be released so they can get back to using. People with good jobs or educations, however, can suddenly be confronted with a host of considerations they never figured they'd have, and principal amongst them is having a drug conviction on their permanent record.
This is really an important issue. We can skip the "you should have though about that" lessons for now; if you have a good job, or an education that can get you a good job, having a drug conviction on your record can make things difficult, or even impossible. A drug conviction can have a real life negative impact on your future. We need to work things out to avoid that, at all costs. That does NOT mean, however, that you should be taken to the cleaners for legal fees.
I list my prices right on my website. While I am quick to caution anyone about thinking you're going to get top-level service from some cut-rate legal operation, I also think it is important to bear in mind that handling a drug case is, in the vast majority of cases, far from a complex legal problem. In fact, if handling a drug case isn't routine for your lawyer, then it's safe to say you got the wrong lawyer. My fees fall right about in the middle range, which is exactly where they should be.
