Mussolini's cult alive in Italy.
Monti stated he will not run, but will lead the party of the winner if asked.
Have your cake and eat it too mentality .....
Unfortunatly you were wrong: Mario Monti will not run; Merkel will be displeased (but here in Italy we don't give a damn about it);chaos will ensure, and finally, the problems will find a different not Goldmanite- Merkellian solution.
Merry Chritsmas
It is the right of the EU and various leaders to express to Italian voters - perhaps through public declarations, interviews and conferences - their concerns regarding the potential of problems originating from our peninsula to affect others in Europe.
But it is the duty of various European leaders to stay out of our electoral politics.
Bersani, the odd leader of the former-communists in Italy (the word former is a euphemism) was overheard saying: 'In an election year isn't necessary to fool all the people all the time - only in the period just before the election'. If this odd character, this political joke gets elected to office then it's no joke. Sure. Imagination is the thing that makes Bersani thinks he is a statesman. He was once minister under Prodi: his solutions to the problems were usually as bad as the problems. He has a degree in philosophy therefore he hasn't the foggiest idea about economy and shortly said that he doesn't understand the income tax and the VAT.
What a sick fantasy! I challenge you to give us the link to that phrase that you attribute to Bersani....or maybe you think you have impunity about your lies when writing stuff in a foreign publications? Ma ci faccia il piacere.....
You are the reason brothers and sister shouldn't marry.
That's it? What an excuse for anything you are.......goodbye and good riddance you little scum
Good-bye: Excellent time to become a missing person. Don't you love nature, despite what it did to you?
don't know what you are long on....what you are very short on is on anything resembling a normal thinking human being....but this is very boring....get lost......over and out.....
I don't know what make you so idiotic, but it really works.
Interesting comments - maybe as interesting as this interesting piece. Good discussion, guys - thanks.
To a detached observer, seems like Mr.B ought to think about how much his situation resembles that of Mr. Arafat and that of Mr. Matsushita (the recently departed Japan-FinMin) - who happened to die precisely when it was convenient for others to have them do so. Not like he hasn't had a full life, is it?
It is amazing how little the author of this article knows. He seldom comes where he is more ignorant than anyone else. He has not understood that Monti is a Berlusconi's friend and both are acting by mutual consent. Berlusconi send Monti some years ago to Brusselles as Commissioner. Now he knows that he can kitt the scattered centre-right parties in Italy and so defeat the former communist Bersani who is intoxicated with supposed victory. Berlusconi is going to support his friend Monti e all together will destroy the leftists in Italy definitely.
What amazes me is that Monti looks older than Berlusconi. In fact Monti is younger (b. 1943), Berlusconi was born in 1936. Even in their appearance they are so different: the man who shows himself as he is, versus one who lies even about his age. (well, at least when Berlusconi is seen from a distance - closer, Berlusconi must look like a mummy, as Liberation titled recently). One day, social researchers will study why some Italians have been so hopelessly in love with Berlusconi , and why others (me for instance) have hated him so much.
In your case the explanation is simple: if you write as a moron, if you behave as a moron, you must be a moron. There is no doubt.
The european leaders of the centre-right are pushing Monti to candidate because they fear that the leftists with the former communist Bersani and the gay Vendola come to power in Italy again. They konow that because of the leftists Italy in the past (from 1970 vorward) made its huge public debt. The Europena leaders fear that if they come to power again Italy would begin to make debts again as usual bringing whole Europe in ruin. It is a good thing that Berlusconi has decided to support Monti who is the person who can kitt all centre-right parties in Italy which at the moment are rather scattered in every direction. If Monti succeedes in this task the communist Bersani and his crew would experience the same destiny as his 'comrade' Ochetto experienced 1994 with his joyfull war-machine. A total wreckage!
It's a matter of fact that if Monti do not join with Berlusconi, he has the same chance to win like a snowball in hell. The same chence he would have if he would ally himself with three bozos as Casini, Fini and Montezemolo. Three jokes! In his place I would remain life senator until they offer him the job as head of state. Other alternatives would be complete failures.
All Economist readers know about your long running love hate relationship with Mr Berlusconi. What worries me about your article is its acceptance of the creeping decline in European democracy. If we keep going down this track only Germany will have democratically elected politicians running it. Everyone else will have to have technocrats appointed with Germany's consent. Right wing as I am, I would prefer to see electorates choosing their own politicians, whether they are clowns or vagabonds in my or your eyes or not, than relentessly drift towards authoritarianism. The 1930s are still very recent and they did not come out of the blue. Authoritarianism originated in unemployment in Italy and Germany and there is a faint odour of all that in Southern Europe at present. And before anyone replies that this means we should all lean to the left, let's remember that 1930s authoritarianism came in calling itself "socialism". If the Italian electorate wants Berlusconi there will be a good reason. If it doesn't, fine. We must respect other countries' democratic decisions, however, and not impose their governments. There is plenty to criticise in the administration of every European country with a major deficit but Italy is a story of two countries, as every Italian will tell you, and it is that country down south that is the challenge for Italian politicians. Up north, it is as sophisticated a country as you will find anywhere. Most of Europe's problems stem from imbalances in trade flows between the members and that problem will not be sorted by having viceroys acceptable to Berlin running everything because they will never tackle the trade imbalances in a manner that disadvantages their appointors. Some of the implicit consequences of the common currency system were not obvious from the start because they related to how it was done rather than being a fundamental element. Some however were obvious and widely anticipated at the outset. The common currency left only one mechanism of adjustment between members; people had to move from deficit to surplus states, as they have done in the US. We are now seeing that in action of course. The number of young people from Spain now coming to London to seek work is enormous. The same will presumably be going on in Germany. The youth of Greece, Portugal and Spain will have to leave and move to Germany. There is no other solution. Unless Germany transfers work to those countries, of course. But I wouldn't want to bet on that whilst Europe is being run by technocrats sympathetic to maintaining the dominance of Berlin. That is not to criticise Germany and other northern European states. They are better in very many ways, that is the truth. But they also look after their own interests very well - and that, somewhat embarrasingly I admit, is the source of the imbalance. In a grouping of countries, the ones that are best in organisational terms are always going to have to spread the work around unless they want everyone to move to their countries.
The EU must stay out of Italian politics. It is the democratic right of Italian citizen to select its politician. Besides; Monti has done more damage than good. All that he has done is make a sick patient look healthy, but deep down the rot remains. If Italy changes it has the economic strength to adopt Greece. What Monti did not do; 1. Cut government funding to private enterprise (40 billion per year) there is no qualitative funding, funding is not based providing value to the country. 2. Zero tolerance on corruption and tax evasion (100 billion per year); simple to manage; start putting people in jail and fine then heavily 3. Administration efficiency; currently no centralized procurement system, this can easily provide saving of 10 billion per year. Make government employee and politicians responsible and accountable. Berlusconi and Scajola (Mr Scajola has invented new ways to manage corruption; he has a couple of patents) in 2011 signed a 6 billion contract with Macedonia to buy electricity at 6 times the going rate. This is not stupidity; it is corruption.
Therefore there is potential of close to 50 billion per year that can be used to reduce taxes and utility costs. Money that will go directly in the pockets of middle working class which in turn generating economic growth.
What did Monti do; taxi licence.
Nobody until now in the EPP have ever seriously thought to expel Berlusconi's party from the EPP, notwithstanding in the PdL party there are many people convicted for bribery, tax fraud, money laundering and even MAFIA! Nor are irreproachable the members of the main Italian sponsor of Mr Monti, the UDC party guided by Mr Casini, whose presence in EPP have been never questioned... Notwithstanding the former Governor of Sicily, member of UDC is in prison now for MAFIA... once again.
I do not know how Mrs Merkel & co could ask Mr Monti to be the leader of a Government supported by such corrupted parties!
I do not think they do not know how is the political situation in Italy...
Do they want Mr Monti give a legitimacy to corruption, task fraud, money laundering and Mafia? Or is in fact the EPP just trying to preserve their HUGE Italian sink of votes?
You see the Fiinish Prime Minister very actively supporting high tech start ups and ensuring the 10,000 people left home by Nokia can make it back in business, you see President Obama zipping around the country to support innovation and manufacturing, you see Dok. Frau Merkel doing all sorts to support the German economy, then you see these 2 pictures, you read the article, and see sadness flying over a beautiful country, Italy.
Berlusconi's rating in polls is so dismal that nobody can seriously imagine he will be Italy's next PM. In theory, one could believe that EPP is worried about a second Hollande being elected in one of the Big European countries. Mr Bersani is almost sure to lead the Left to a significant victory in the elections, and become Italy's next PM. Though he is unlikely to reform Italy to the extent needed, it is hard to believe he will not behave; he's more a reformist that Mr Hollande. So is the EPP really worried about a domino effect, which may topple even Ms Merkel as socialists regain the upper hand in key countries? Maybe, but I doubt it.
The issue is about stability. Italy can destabilize the euro-zone. If Mr Bersani is destabilized by his left wing, or if he faces a strong anti-euro opposition, things can get quite rocky. Berlusconi is capable of destabilizing the whole system.
But how can Monti stabilize things? Can he really run against the centre-left? Without Berlusconi's declining party the votes Monti can muster represent very optimistically 20% of the electorate, still behind Bersani, probably 10-15%. What good can that be?
And Monti is decreasingly popular, not because Italians are tired of reform. Actually, quite the opposite: Monti has raised taxes but achieved almost nil in terms of reforms. Though this can't be said in Europe.
" He's (Mr Bersani) more reformist than Mr Hollande"....are you kidding me??....just take a look at the period when he was in the 'opposition' and than you'll be able to understand what a untruth thing you said....
" He's (Mr Bersani) more reformist than Mr Hollande"....are you kidding me??....just take a look at the period when he was in the 'opposition' and than you'll be able to understand what a untruth thing you said....
Berlusconi is throwing a Bungle-Bungle party!
This is completely hypocrite. Berluscuni never ceased to take part in the EPPs meeting. Nobody ever cared, despite the official mistrust. Now that he plans a come-back, the conservatives invite Monti. The invitation itself makes clear that they want him to run. Merkel even talked to Monti. But afterwards nobody wants to take any responsibility. What a nice family! And these guys are running the Commission, the Council, and they want to kkep their power in the 2014 Europena elections... Hope they do not succed.

You are talking through your hat. Berlusconi is only persecuted by left-winger magistrates who have tried to fight him with every kind of accusations which were pure fabrications. The proof is that he has never been definitely found guilty of anything. Everybody knows in Italy that the prosecutors against Berlusconi are communists who have fought against him for the last 20 years (year 1994!) when he entered the field against the red enemies of the mankind: the communists. At the same time the leftists engineered their smear vicious campaign against him based on lies, sham and distortion of the facts with the help of trashy left-wing newspapers as La Repubblica or L'Unità which are specialised in writing falsehoods.
What you say is just ridiculous, Berlusconi has been found guilty in many occasions and only the "statute of limitations" has allowed him to not go in jail, everybody can verify it nowadays, they do not have to be Italian like us. But let us make the absurd hypothesis Berlusconi is completely innocent... what could you say about his close friends Dellutri, Verdini, Cosentino, Scaiola, Iorio... should I continue with other prominent members of his party? Formigoni, Zambetti, Polverini, Fiorito... I invite the English reader to search these names in the web and use google to translate in english, it performs very good from Italian to English ;-)
Any way I am not a leftist, I would vote a right wing party if it would be at least presentable, but I will never accept the captious arguments of Berlusconi "me or the communists"
It is a matter of fact that not only Berlusconi but also his frieds are and were victims of nafarious left-wing prosecutors, true criminals, who have been persecuting and attaccking Berlusconi and his friends without reason for the last 20 years, that is since his taking to the field against the left. Their game is so much dirty and clear that even babies have understood it.You may probably be no a leftist, but a moron yes you are, indisputably.
Dear Longman,
I hope that you have been paid for spending you time to write comments in support of Berlusconi, and insult other commenters. If you do it on voluntary base, everything you deserve is a great commiseration...
Good luck
Amd you? What do you get for your cheap remarks? A cheap contribution perhaps.
Berlusconi's lawyers have successfully defended him for decades. However, he HAS been convicted of illegal party financing, corruption, bribery and false accounting. Sometimes, he has won on appeal and other he has either been acquitted or time has run out under Italy's statute of limitations.
To be precise:
- 5 dropped trials: 3 for time limits extinct crimes, 2 found guilty but acquitted for amnesty applied due to new laws
- 8 acquittals: 2 for new laws passed by Berlusconi, 2 for time limits – extinct crime, 4 acquitals for various reason
- 7 archived trials: 2 for variation of the law under Berlusconi's government, 5 for various reason, including amnesty due to time limits after a first conviction
- 3 convictions: Perjury in 1990, Illegal financing of a political party in 1997 but Conviction set aside because the statute of limitations expired before Berlusconi exhausted all appeals, tax fraud in 2012, sure he still has 2 appeals
- 4 more ongoing trials
The economist reported some of the most "interesting" trials here http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2011/02/silvio_berlusconi_and_law.
Basically, what I am trying to say is … I know you are a supporter of SB, but try to be realistic! Facts are facts and have nothing to do with a supposed "persecution" by mean, scrupleless left-winger magistrates.
The long list of the trials you indicate is the proof how the left prosecutors are biased against Berlusconi. That is the proof of a real persecution initiated by subversive judges against a person they considered a political enemy aiming to destroy him and overthrow his Government.These criminal magistrates in a normal State should undergo trials for abuse of authority, dismissed and jail sentenced.

Fantastic! Written By DoctorG, Richmond, VA on Thursday, September 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) rating "Coolness Factor" rating Build Quality rating Comfort rating Noise Reduction rating Sound Quality These headphones rock! They are not only stylish but they sound phenomenal. Absolutely amazing bass. Great electronic noise cancellation. Get these! Pros: Stylish. Amazing Sound. Fantastic Bass. Great noise cancellation. Cons: Expensive.
Just Right Written By SkippyDJ, Myrtle Beach, SC on Tuesday, December 25, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Great headphones. I DJ so therefore I am listening to music all the time. I also hook them up to my electronic drum kit and everything sounds so great. There is nothing cheap about the quality of these headphones. They are built well and are very comfortable...in no way do they creak or crack when moving like mentioned before. They are built solid. Sound quality is great and gets even better when you turn the noise canceling feature on. Comes all together to ready to attach to your IPad or similar device. Carrying case is nice and softly lined for protection. I also like the interchangeable band on top even though I don't know if I will be changing the color...but who knows. Overall I rate these headphones top notch and would recommend them to anyone who wants a quality headphone.
Partial Adiophile Written By Dr. S, Dayton, Oh on Monday, November 26, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality First of all.... I travel a lot. I have owned a ton of headphones. They are big compared to earbuds. Not really anything novel there. The sound quality without noise reduction isn't anything exciting. With noise reduction is where it really shines. I have used Bose and just about any other headphones on the market. It is as good as anything. Sure you can nit pick but it's good. The thing I like is that they shrink down for a high quality travel headphones and you don't look like a big tool when you are wearing them. Disclaimer 1: They are a full size headphone. They are big. The sound is good and they feel pretty good. I fly cross country all the time so I wear my headphone sometimes 8-12 hours... I know... that isn't what you should do but I do. I need to adjust after 6-8 hours after they start getting uncomfortable but my audiologists would scold me anyways. Bottom line. I wear them 6-8 hours a day. They are really good for this price range. Here is my disclaimer 2: I wouldn't pay much more for headphones and I had to hide the AMEX bill from my wife. Sure I would like angels to sit on my ears and whisper sweet nothings but that isn't going to happen. I hope my Monster Inspirations last for a long time. They are my favorite after 10 years on the road. Go a head and comment that I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm the guy you are walking past in first class towards your coach seat while I'm enjoying the cocktail listening to the Monster headphones.. Pros: Fit and feel. Sound quality on noise cancelling. Cons: Size, cost.
Effective noise-cancelation and great sound Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 8/27/2012 10:00:00 AM I tried out the Inspiration in the Labs, where we have noise simulations for airplane cabins, lawn mowers, and crowded terminals. The headphones performed well, keeping the ambient noise well in the background. And there seemed to be little tradeoff in sound. I listened to music both with and without the noise canceling (the latter in a quieter setting)and I couldn't hear a significant differance in sound. In both cases, the bass sounded full, the highs were present without being shrill, and the mids had plenty of detail.

Yield: | Serves 4 |
Active time: | 25 minutes |
Total time: | 25 minutes |
Special equipment: | 10-inch non-stick skillet |
This recipe appears in: | Sunday Brunch: Maple Pecan Crêpes |
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup (about 8 ounces) milk
- 1 cup (about 5 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for serving
- 1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
In a bowl whisk together eggs and milk. Add flour and a pinch of salt and whisk until smooth. Adjust rack to middle position and preheat to 200°F. Place a lined baking sheet in the oven.
Melt 1/4 of the butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium high heat, swiriling.

Once batter has set, about 1 minute, gently flip crepe with a spatula and continue to cook until crepe is set and browned. Transfer to oven lightly tented with foil to keep warm. Repeat, adding butter every other crepe until batter is finished.
Once all the crepes are cooked, return pan to heat and add chopped pecans. Toast, tossing frequently, until the pecans have just begun to brown, about 4 minutes. Add maple syrup and sugar to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved and pecans are coated, about 3 minutes.
Butter crepes if desired, then fold into quarters. Divide crepes between plates and top with pecan mixture. Serve immediately with additional maple syrup along side.

Faculty / Benefits / Full-Time Faculty / FAQs
Full-time employees make contributions for health care coverage through convenient payroll deductions.
Each fall, during the designated Open Enrollment Period, you will have an opportunity to make changes to your health care coverage and add or drop dependents. Changes made during Open Enrollment become effective on January 1 of the following year.
Changes remain in effect for the entire year, unless you experience a qualifying life event that permits you to change your coverage.
This is your share of the cost of coverage under a health plan. NYU requires a contribution for the cost of health care for most employees. Contact the NYU Benefits Office to determine what your contribution to the plan will be in the current plan year.
A copayment is a flat dollar amount that you pay for specific services each time you use them, such as office visits. Copayments are not part of the annual deductible (if your plan has one), and are not applied to any out-of-pocket maximum. Each NYU health care plan has a schedule of benefits, with specified copayments for covered services.
Yes, when you are eligible for coverage under a NYU medical or dental plan, you may elect to cover your eligible spouse, or registered domestic partner, and/or eligible children. (See also, "Dependent Coverage".)
Generally, you become eligible to enroll for coverage during the NYU initial enrollment period. This period is from your date of hire until 31 days following your date of hire. If you do not enroll during this period, you will have to wait until the next Open Enrollment Period.
A qualifying life event is a change in your personal life that may impact your eligibility or your dependents' eligibility for benefits. If you are eligible to make changes, you must make the change within 30 days of the date of your qualifying life event. After the 30-day deadline, you will have to wait until the next Open Enrollment Period to make further changes.
Any changes made must be consistent with the qualifying event experienced. Some changes, e.g., birth, marriage, and divorce, may require proof of the qualifying event.
Examples of qualifying life events are: birth or adoption of a child; marriage; establishing a domestic partnership; divorce; ending a domestic partnership; disability; death; spouse/domestic partner gains or loses coverage; move to an area where current coverage is not available; and retirement.
In-network doctors and hospitals have a negotiated fee agreement with your insurance plan. Each of the plan providers offered by NYU has an extensive roster of in-network providers who are board-certified and rigorously screened.
The out-of-pocket maximum limits the amount you might be expected to pay for medical services each calendar year. This means that once your expenses reach a certain amount after you pay your deductible, covered services will be paid in full by your Plan, at the Reasonable and Customary rate. Out-of-pocket maximums do not apply to services with copays.
The NYU Point-of-Service (POS) Value and POS Advantage plans cover services rendered by both in-network and out-of-network providers and have a different out-of-pocket maximum for each type of service. The Aetna and Oxford HMO Plans cover in-network services only. All other plans have an out-of-pocket maximum for covered services.
If you are enrolled in one of the NYU Point-of-Service Plans, you may choose to use an out-of-network provider and still have a portion of the cost of those services covered by your plan. Note that the fees they charge are not limited by a contracted fee agreement. If you go out of network, any amounts your provider charges that are above Reasonable & Customary rates, are your responsibility and are not credited to your out-of-pocket maximum. (See also, "Explanation of Reasonable & Customary".)
The Aetna and Oxford HMO Plans cover in-network services only.
The annual deductible is an amount you must pay before your Plan will pay any benefits. Your annual deductible does not apply to services with copayments, but amounts that you pay toward your annual deductible are credited to your out-of-pocket maximum.
If you are enrolled in one of the NYU Point-of-Service Plans, and you go out of network, any amounts your provider charges that are above Reasonable & Customary rates are your responsibility and are not credited to your annual deductible. (See also, "Explanation of Reasonable & Customary".)
Coinsurance is the percentage of the cost for covered services that are your responsibility. After your deductible limit has been reached, the Plan will pay a stated percentage, based on Reasonable & Customary rates, and you pay the other percentage. Coinsurance is applied to your out-of-pocket maximum.
CVS/Caremark is the administrator of the prescription drug program for all NYU health plans.
The plan covers brand-name prescription drugs. However, brand-name medications have a higher copayment.
Copayment amounts will depend upon whether the prescription that your physician writes is for a generic or a brand name drug. Prescriptions written for a specific brand-name medication will have a higher copayment. There is also a $75 copayment if you use a retail pharmacy for the third or any subsequent refills of maintenance drugs.
Any time the price of the drug is less than the required copayment, you will pay the actual price of the prescription.
You may request a refill of a 90-day prescription through Caremark mail service at day 50. This should eliminate the problem of coordinating the timing of receipt of mail service prescriptions with planned travel.
You may receive as much as a 180-day supply through the Caremark mail order pharmacy. In order to obtain a 180-day supply of a medication, your physician will need to write the prescription for that quantity. You will pay two times the copay you would pay for a 90-day supply.
There is a pharmacy network associated with the Caremark plan. You receive the highest level of benefits when you have your prescription filled at a network pharmacy.
When you use a network pharmacy, any out-of-pocket copayments will automatically be reimbursed through your Health Care FSA (if you have one), up to the FSA amount you have elected.
If you use an out-of-network pharmacy, you'll pay 100% of the retail price and will need to submit a claim form. You will be reimbursed for the discounted cost of the prescription - the cost the plan would have paid had you gone to a network pharmacy - less the applicable copay. In most cases, the discounted price will be less than the retail price. You can get a list of network pharmacies from the Caremark website or call 1-800-421-5501.
Maintenance medications are any prescription medications that you need to take on a regular basis for an extended period of time (i.e. three months or more). Maintenance medications should be refilled through Caremark Maintenance Choice Program which gives you the choice of receiving a 90-day supply of maintenance medications through Caremark Mail Service Pharmacy or obtaining it at your local CVS/pharmacy.
In some instances, even though you take a specific medication on a long-term, recurring basis, it may be classified by law as a "controlled substance." Federal and state laws regulate the dispensing of controlled substances and the law may limit the quantity that can be dispensed at one time. It may also prohibit dispensing through the mail. (See also, "What are controlled substances?")
Contact Caremark to determine if your medicine is considered "maintenance."
You should use a Caremark retail pharmacy for immediate and short-term drug needs. Use Caremark's Mail Order Pharmacy for maintenance or long-term medications.
In some instances, even though you take a specific medication on a regular, recurring basis, it may be classified by law as a "controlled substance." Examples of prescriptions that are classified as controlled substances are: Vicodin®, Acetaminophen with codeine and Marinol®, Valium®, Ambien®, Xanax®, Robitussin AC®, and Lomotil®.
Federal and state laws regulate the dispensing of controlled substances and the law may limit the quantity that can be dispensed at one time. It may also prohibit dispensing through the mail.
The plan will not consider controlled substances to be maintenance medications, even if you take them on a regular, ongoing basis. Therefore, you can use your retail pharmacy to obtain these prescriptions. You will not have to pay a penalty co-pay on the third and subsequent refills.
Coordination of benefits applies when a person is covered under more than one group medical plan. "Other group plans" include any other plan of dental or medical coverage provided by:
To find out if benefits will be reduced, the provider must first determine which plan pays benefits first.
When you or your spouse is covered under two plans, there are certain rules that determine which plan pays its benefits first. The plan that covers you or your spouse as the employee pays its benefits before the plan that covers you or your spouse as a dependent.
You should each submit your claims to the primary plan first. When you receive payment from the primary plan, you should then submit a claim form and a copy of the explanation of benefits to the secondary payer, for any additional reimbursement.
When the parents of a dependent child are divorced or separated:
-- If there is a court decree which states that the parents will share joint custody of a dependent child, without stating that one of the parents is responsible for the health care expenses of the child, the parent birthday rule applies.
-- If a court decree gives financial responsibility for the child's medical, dental or other health care expenses to one of the parents, the plan covering the child as that parent's dependent determines its benefits before any other plan that covers the child as a dependent.
-- If there is no such court decree, the order of benefits will be determined as follows:
If an individual has coverage as an active employee or dependent of such employee, and also as a retired or laid-off employee, the plan that covers the individual as an active employee or dependent of such employee is primary.
The benefits of a plan which covers a person under the right of continuation under federal or state laws will be determined after the benefits of any other plan which does not cover the person as a right of continuation.
If the above rules do not establish an order of payment, the plan which has covered the person for the longest time will pay the benefit first.
"Allowable expenses" are the necessary and reasonable health care expenses covered (in whole or in part) under any of your plan(s) (or those of the person for whom you make a claim).
If it is determined that the other plan pays first, the benefits paid under this plan will be reduced. Aetna will calculate this reduced amount as follows: the amount normally reimbursed for covered benefits under this plan, less benefits payable from your other plan(s)
If you are covered as the employee under two separate medical plans, your medical plan that has covered you for the longest time will be the primary plan and will pay its benefits first.
You should submit your claims to the primary plan first. When you get a payment from the primary plan, you should submit your claim and a copy of the explanation of benefits to the secondary payer, for any additional payment.
Except for children of divorced or separated parents, the plan of the parent whose birthday occurs earlier in the calendar year pays first. When both parents' birthdays occur on the same day, the plan that has covered the parent the longest pays first. If the other plan doesn't have the parent birthday rule, the other plan's COB rule applies.

Manchester city workers paying more than school workers for health coverage
The city and school insurance plans each covered fewer employees. There were 4.9 percent fewer school workers covered compared to the previous year and 4 percent fewer covered employees in city departments.
"If we're showing 12 percent (cuts) on the city side, I don't know why that reduction could not be the same on the school side," Mayor Ted Gatsas said. "Our employees are contributing more and our numbers are reflecting those changes."
If the school district had also cut its health coverage cost by 12 percent, it would have saved $3.3 million.
Teachers have been reluctant to pay more for their health coverage without getting something in return.
Over the past 18 months, however, city-side unions agreed to pay higher deductibles, co-payments and fees, while teachers rejected a tentative deal that would have seen them paying more.
School employees currently pay about 3.4 percent of the cost of their health coverage.
Dick said teachers are reluctant to agree to the health insurance concessions, partly due to concerns that the school district's wage proposals would limit pay hikes for teachers at the top of the wage scale to less than 1 percent.
The Board of School Committee is expected to receive an update on the progress of negotiations next week.
"Somebody needs to sit down and put something on paper that makes sense for both sides," Gatsas said. "If people come forward with an agreement and both sides are unhappy, you have a pretty good deal."

Summer is here! Well...sort of. The nights might be getting longer, but with a girl like Summer Slate in your bed, it can be summer all year 'round. Summer is the kind of girl who really loves blowjobs. She doesn't just do it because you like it. She does it because she gets off on making you squirm when she rolls her tongue up and down your shaft. And she goes all out to make sure her blowjobs are the best. She got her tongue pierced a few weeks ago and we got to be the first ones to test it out. Summer let our guy mouth fuck her in POV while she looked up just waiting to see how long she could tease and how quickly she could make him spill a load on her tongue. Those sexy green eyes were just begging to be plastered shut, but he held on like a pro and made her work hard for her milky treat.

"Butch" Otter and Colorado Governor Bill Ritter in issuing the following joint statement regarding the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict: O C The recent increase in hostilities between Israel and Hamas is evidence that lasting peace in the region is an elusive goal. The deaths of innocent civilians on both sides of the border as a result of the hostilities are proof that we must continue to work toward peace, rather than resolving our disputes through aggression. We support the right of Israel to defend itself from aggressors and to ensure the peace and prosperity of its citizens. We therefore, are calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities between Israel and Hamas and the establishment of a lasting and meaningful cease-fire. For this process to begin, Hamas must end its series of rocket attacks into Israeli sovereign land. The two sides must then work together in good faith to work toward peace in the region. ###

L1 Syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report L1 Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
- L1 spectrum
- L1 disease
- MASA syndrome
- SPG1 (X-linked complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia type 1)
- X-linked corpus callosum agenesis
- X-linked hydrocephalus with stenosis of the aqueduct of sylvius
- HSAS, aqueductal stenosis, X-linked
General Discussion
L1 syndrome is an inherited, X-linked disorder occurring in males that primarily affects the nervous system. The disease is mainly characterized by hydrocephalus (increased fluid in the center of the brain), spasticity of the lower limbs (muscle stiffness), adducted thumbs (clasped towards the palm), aphasia (difficulty with speaking), seizures, and agenesis of the corpus callosum (underdeveloped or absent connecting tissue between the left and right hemispheres of the brain). Affected individuals have intellectual disability in the mild to moderate range. L1 syndrome is caused by abnormalities (mutations) in the L1CAM gene, which affects about 1 in 30,000 males.
The acronym CRASH (corpus callosum hypoplasia, retardation, adducted thumbs, spastic paraparesis and hydrocephalus) syndrome was originally proposed in 1995 by Dr. Erik Fransen to describe L1 syndrome but is no longer used.

Saunders makes Mariners debut against A's
Mariners left-hander Joe Saunders has always been one to have slow springs. However, he's never read much into those numbers.
And with good reason.
Saunders finished Spring Training with a 1-1 record and an 11.57 ERA in four Cactus League games after signing a one-year deal with Seattle in the offseason. Yet, just last year with the D-backs, he went 1-2 with a 7.98 ERA in five spring games and then tallied a 2-1 record and 0.90 ERA in four April starts.
"It's nice to get out of Spring Training and get into the real games. It's always nice to get through healthy and ready to go," Saunders said. "My arm feels good, so it was definitely a good Spring Training in that respect."
Saunders will make his debut with the Mariners on Wednesday in Oakland as the team goes for its third straight win against the A's to open the season.
Back in the American League West, where he pitched four years with the Angels, Saunders is 13-5 with a 3.39 ERA in 20 career starts against the A's. However, he doesn't see that as any advantage.
"Nowadays teams change so much. This is a totally different club. I don't even know if they have anybody left since I pitched against them in 2008 or '09," Saunders said. "It's the same locker room, same clubhouse, same field, different players. So you have to go with the times and evolve."
One of Oakland's biggest changes, especially for Wednesday's game, will be the addition of Chris Young, who's expected to make his first start with the A's. Second baseman Scott Sizemore, catcher Derek Norris and first baseman Nate Freiman, who bat from the right side like Young, are also expected to join him in the lineup against Saunders.
"You want them to get involved, don't want them sitting around too long," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "Guys are used to playing every day coming out of spring. Especially for the role guys, guys that aren't starting all the time. Whether it's just against righties or just against lefties, they need to get in there soon after spring's done."
Left-hander Tommy Milone will be on the hill for the A's, looking to continue his winning ways. Milone finished 2012 with a 13-10 record and 3.74 ERA. He also led the team in innings pitched with 190.
The workhorse led the team in wins and innings pitched during Spring Training, tallying a record of 3-0 with a 4.63 ERA in 23 1/3 frames.
Mariners: Gutierrez out of lineup
• Center fielder Franklin Gutierrez didn't start on Tuesday against right-hander Jarrod Parker, but will be back in the lineup on Wednesday against Milone.
Manager Eric Wedge wanted to get Raul Ibanez in the lineup on Tuesday against the righty and said he'd try to get all his bench players time early in the season to keep them fresh coming out of camp.
"We do want to make sure we take care of Guti early on," Wedge said. "That's part of it. But the fact of the matter is, you still have to find a way to get Raul in the lineup. So it works both ways."
A's: Colon tabbed for Saturday start in Houston
• The A's will bring back right-hander Bartolo Colon for Saturday's game against the Astros. That marks the first day he is eligible to return from his 50-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs.
"You want to get him started sooner than later," Melvin said. "We would've had to find another place for him to go pitch, and we just want to get him in there. We had targeted this all along."
Once Colon is officially back on the 25-man roster, right-hander Dan Straily -- scheduled to start Friday -- is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Sacramento.
Worth noting
• The average age on the A's Opening Day roster is 28.03 years, which according to Stats, Inc., is the youngest roster in the American League and the second-youngest in the Majors behind Atlanta (27.79).
• Wedge became the first manager in Mariners history to win his first three Opening Days and is now tied for second with Darrell Johnson (3-1) for the most Opening Day wins overall. Lou Piniella tops that list with five (5-5).
