HCFANY Lauds Cuomo Administration's Insurance Rate Cuts
It is a great day for New Yorkers. The Cuomo Administration announced that it has slashed insurance companies' proposed rate hikes by over 50 percent for people covered through the New York State of Health Marketplace and in the individual and small group markets.
"This is great news for consumers and small employers alike," said Elisabeth Benjamin, a co-Founder of Health Care for All New York and Vice President of Health Initiatives at the Community Service Society of New York. "The Cuomo Administration has effectively applied the law to control premium costs—and this translates into $1 billion in real savings for New Yorkers."
New York's carriers had sought an average 12.5 percent rate increase on the rates individual consumers pay, but the Department of Financial Services approved an average 5.7 percent increase – consistent with the 4.2 percent rate increase approved by the Cover California's Marketplace. Likewise, the Department cut the average 13.9 percent increase sought by carriers in New York's small group market to 6.7 percent.
"This news proves the value of an open and transparent rate review process," said Mark Scherzer, Legislative Counsel for New Yorkers for Accessible Health Coverage and co-Chair of HCFANY's Policy Committee.

The New York State Department of Financial Services is currently reviewing insurance companies' rates for the coming year, 2015. Overall this year, 11 insurers asked for rate increases and four asked for decreases. You can read insurer rate applications here. Members of the public have the chance to comment on the rates. HCFANY recently submitted seven letters about these plans:
Health Republic Insurance of New York
2014 insurance rates on NY State of Health, our State's health plan Marketplace, declined by 53%. These affordable rates were an important reason for the enrollment of over one million New Yorkers. The Department of Financial Services has an important role in ensuring that health plan rate increases are in line with actual medical cost changes, and that rates remain as affordable as possible for consumers.
HCFANY's comments first discuss the broader context that the Department should consider and then additional specific carrier issues. In addressing the broader context, HCFANY notes:
- Health care costs have been rising at slower rates for the past several years, and have been under 10% for the last 12, according to National Health Expenditures data. The California Marketplace held health insurers to a maximum 4.2% increase for 2015.
- It's reasonable to expect the 2015 risk pool will be healthier than 2014, because less healthy consumers are likely to have already enrolled.
- The ACA "risk" programs should mean lower risk for insurers and lower prices for consumers. The ACA includes special programs – risk adjustment, risk corridor, and reinsurance programs – to compensate insurers for any increased risk they take on as a result of new enrollees. The programs were designed specifically to ensure stable insurance rates for consumers.
- Insurers should have lower administrative costs as a result of the ACA. Significant money and energy is being put into marketing and outreach for health insurance because of the ACA, which means insurers can spend less time and money marketing their products.
The Department of Financial Services should post the final rates sometime in the early fall.
Guest post by Kyle Brittingham, Director of Small Business Assistance Program, Community Service Society of New York
Yesterday the Department of Financial Services posted insurance rate applications on their website. These are applications that insurers submit to request a change in their rates as part of New York's rate review or "prior approval" process. What is prior approval you ask? Below, Kyle Brittingham of Community Service Society gives us a rundown on the annual process, including how you can get involved either as a consumer or an advocate.
Each year, health insurance carriers want to change premiums (i.e. the monthly rates) they charge their customers for health insurance. Sometimes (but rarely), carriers may want to decrease the cost of premiums because it turns out that they have more healthy people enrolled in coverage than they expected. More typically, the carriers want to increase the premiums to keep pace with the rise in medical costs. In order to raise rates, the carriers request approval of their new rates by the government body set up to regulate them, New York State's Department of Financial Services (DFS). DFS has to approve all rates before they can go into effect for the upcoming year. This approval process is called "Rate Review" or, here in New York, "Prior Approval." And it's just getting started for 2014.
The process is laid down by the legislature in the law, and it goes like this. First, the carriers send out notices to their clients to let them know how much they are asking to increase the premiums. In 2014, many customers have already started receiving these notices from their plans. Notices will outline the current year's premiums, the desired rate change, and the percentage increase or decrease that is being proposed. Next, the carrier will outline some of the reasons for this increase. Here is an example from one of the notices that has already gone out to consumers this year: "The age of the population that choose to enter the Individual market was older, and consequently more costly, than anticipated." Finally, the notice will inform the consumer of their rights during this process. This is most important part because this is how consumers, and consumer advocates, can work with DFS to keep insurance rates as low as possible.
On DFS's website, all carriers have to post their requested rate changes and give a detailed explanation of why the carrier thinks this is justified. Advocates and consumers then get 30 days to respond to the DFS about why they think carriers should or should not be allowed to increase or decrease premiums by the amounts they've proposed. Comments are accepted directly through the website. Comments can explain why the increase would hurt you or consumers in general, they can dispute the carrier's explanations, or the simplest ones can say you disagree with the increase. Any comment, especially from consumers about their plan, is important.
Each year, HCFANY monitors the prior approval and submits comments to defend consumers in New York State and ensure and preserve affordability of health insurance. You can learn more about our past efforts and read past comments on our website. We hope you will join us this year! To learn even more about how rate review/prior approval works, take a look at this new blog series from our friends at Families USA.
Guest post by Yao He, Master's Student in Public Health, Columbia University
Do high premiums discourage enrollment? Or, is a premium of any size a deterrent when it comes to seeking health insurance? How does cost-sharing (deductibles, co-insurance, etc.) play into whether people get the health care services they need? Does income level matter?
The web has been abuzz with talk of health care costs and how they affect our access to and use of health care services. Here's a rundown on some of the more interesting pieces we've read of late:
It turns out that Medicaid premiums can cause enrollees to leave their plans. A new study looked at how income-dependent premiums prompted Medicaid disenrollment in Wisconsin. Medicaid beneficiaries in the state with incomes between 150-200 percent of the federal poverty line (FPL) are required to pay premiums starting at $10/month. Premium amounts increase with income. The study found that the mere presence of a premium – no matter the amount – could increase the likelihood of disenrollment by 12 percentage points. These findings offer food for thought as our own state continues to expand public health benefits. The New York State Legislature recently authorized a Basic Health Program that would include a premium of up to $20/month for beneficiaries between 150-200 percent of FPL, the same income level as those in the Wisconsin study.
If premiums can cause people to leave plans or stay uninsured to begin with, what is the effect of cost-sharing (e.g. deductibles, co-insurance) on people's health insurance habits? And how might cost-sharing have an impact on health care costs? The answer depends in part on whether a person is healthy or sick, rich or poor…
A famous RAND Health Insurance experiment shows that the higher the cost-sharing in a plan, the less health care services people use – this makes people less costly for insurance plans to cover. But does this mean that higher cost-sharing plans result in health care savings? Not necessarily. More recent research shows that high-deductible plans with low premiums tend to attract healthier people who are naturally cheaper to cover. Moreover, the effect of high deductibles on health care cost reduction may not be sustainable. One study showed a remarkable 25 percent reduction in health care cost in the first year after the high deductible took effect, but reductions in following years were only around five percent.
The RAND study referenced above showed that lower use of care resulting from high cost-sharing does not have an adverse effect on most people's health, especially if a person is generally healthy. However, this is not the case for those of us who are poor or sick. For people with chronic illness, cost-sharing can cause financial stress and may prompt some to skip recommended services, harming their health. If they happen to be older or live in low-income areas, they can be even worse off. Not surprisingly, less cost-sharing can ease the health and financial burdens on the chronically ill. For example, Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), both public programs, allow those with chronic illness to get care more easily because these plans have very low levels of cost-sharing.
Finally, a new issue brief by the National Health Law Program provides a comprehensive look at how premiums and cost-sharing impact enrollment, service utilization, and health status in the Medicaid population. The brief leaves us with an important message: Medicaid can only serve its purpose to affordable coverage that meets the medical needs of the most vulnerable among us if it has the lowest possible premiums and cost-sharing. Since Medicaid beneficiaries have very low income, they are extra sensitive to the added burden of cost-sharing. At the same time, Medicaid beneficiaries are more likely to have chronic conditions and many health needs, which means unaffordable cost-sharing can force people to stop or delay using services that could improve health. This can bring bigger health issues in the future that cause more harm to people and require more expensive medical services.

1) Mini-Mini Peterbuilts
I saw the story about the mini big rig kits in the December issue of Diesel World titled "Pint-Sized Peterbuilt". Nice trucks, very cool idea. I also build pint-sized Peterbuilt bodies that go on golf cart frames. I offer them as either a complete cart, or the parts and accessories to fit a '95-03 Yamaha or club car golf cart. I am working on plans to build a bunk in the future. Though the readers interested in the mini Pete's would enjoy this. Thank you.
Dave Ranck
Thanks for the heads up on your product. I'm sure there are a few diesel enthusiasts or racers who hit the show and would love to have their golf car look like this, in true diesel fashion.
2) Diesel Tahoe How To
I just read through the December issue and enjoyed it lot. I spotted the article on the Duramax powered Tahoe and have a few questions. Do you have any past articles of other resources for me to learn about diesel swaps? I have a 2001 Chevrolet 3500 4×4 with the big block 8.1L gasoline engine mated to an Allison automatic. I'll bet the electronics should plug in. The relay panel has empty spots labeled for a diesel engine relays. However, I at least know there is a lot more to a diesel swap than meets the eye. Any help would be appreciated.
Steven Jecker
Via E-Mail
When we spotted the diesel-powered Tahoe, it was only natural to put it in the spotlight. The owner says the swap wasn't all that difficult, since the diesel wiring harness does plug right into the GM electronics. He added that the hardest part of the swap was getting the huge 8-lug rear axle under the truck. On your truck you're already starting with a 1-ton, so axle issues won't be a problem. You're biggest challenges will include hood clearance (a body lift might fix that) and getting a diesel version of the Allison in the truck. We have been getting so many requests for diesel engine swap info, we did two issues this past year, Feb. 2010 and the December issue you saw. Stay tuned…more cool stuff to come.
3) Keep Up The Good Work
Just wanted to drop you guys a note saying that Diesel World has come a long way since it was introduced nearly 5 years ago. The magazine is now more tech oriented and has stories for the average reader and diesel truck owner that shows them how to modify and improve their ride. I also love reading about diesel engine swaps and seeing the different types of trucks you're featured with transplanted diesels. Keep up the good work guys!

Thanks for the kind words. We try to take the "something for everyone" approach with this magazine, which broadens the appeal and has helped increase both newsstand and advertising sales. And we love the engine swap stuff since it shows some good ol' fashioned American ingenuity.

The Body Economic revises the intellectual history of nineteenth-century Britain by demonstrating that political economists and the writers who often presented themselves as their literary antagonists actually held most of their basic social assumptions in common. Catherine Gallagher demonstrates that political economists and their Romantic and early-Victorian critics jointly relocated the idea of value from the realm of transcendent spirituality to that of organic "life," making human sensations--especially pleasure and pain--the sources and signs of that value. Classical political economy, this book shows, was not a mechanical ideology but a form of nineteenth-century organicism, which put the body and its feelings at the center of its theories, and neoclassical economics built itself even more self-consciously on physiological premises.
The Body Economic explains how these shared views of life, death, and sensation helped shape and were modified by the two most important Victorian novelists: Charles Dickens and George Eliot. It reveals how political economists interacted crucially with the life sciences of the nineteenth century--especially with psychophysiology and anthropology--producing the intellectual world that nurtured not only George Eliot's realism but also turn-of-the-century literary modernism.

CIO Council to try to deepen the pool of IT workers
A new survey from the Chief Information Officers and Chief Human Capital Officers councils shows most agencies are finding the pool of job candidates to choose from is too shallow. Darren Ash and Richard McKinney, the co-chairmen of the CIO Council's Workforce Committee, said 75 percent of agency IT managers and human resource executives responding to the survey said they couldn't recruit the necessary talent to do mission critical work.

Maximizing ROI Through Data Center Consolidation
Data center consolidation goes well beyond simply conserving space in agency computer rooms. A host of factors are driving agencies to consolidate including business continuity and disaster recovery, environmental sustainability goals, cyber security and cost savings. The government's information technology budget for 2015 is looking to data center consolidation as a cornerstone to reduce I.T. investment while bolstering citizen services.

Strengths: Stiff, tough, easy to tune, relatively light, looks sexy (I have the metallic grey version), it's a Marzocchi.
Weaknesses: Zero, none, zilch, zip.
Bottom Line:
The only problem you may potentially have is that the stock spring is very stiff, very heavy. I weigh about 107kg and run the fork without any air in the preload chamber. That's great for me because without any air pressure they're so supple and buttery it's unfknblvbl, it's good to see Marzocchi making forks for the big boys (unlike noodly Fox), but I would imagine lighter riders wanting to swap out the spring.

Strengths: Super stiff and buttery smooth. I had a 66 RC before this that I thought was incredible, and this thing beats it. It can handle flat landings with incredible smoothness and eats rocks like they are not there. Excellent small bump compliance. For a 180mm fork, it climbs well. This thing blows the Fox forks that I've ridden with out of the water. More adjust-ability than I will ever need.
Weaknesses: It's a hefty fork at 6lbs 6oz with the axle.

Edward Hyde, 1st earl of Clarendon, also called (1643–60) Sir Edward Hyde, or (1660–61) Baron Hyde of Hindon (born Feb. 18, 1609, Dinton, Wiltshire, Eng.—died Dec. 9, 1674, Rouen, Fr.), English statesman and historian, minister to Charles I and Charles II and author of the History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England.
Early life and career.
Edward Hyde was the eldest surviving son of Henry Hyde of Dinton, Wiltshire. He was educated at Magdalen Hall, Oxford, and was trained in the law in London's Middle Temple. His first wife, Anne Ayliffe, died in 1632, within six months of their marriage. Two years later he married Frances, daughter of Sir Thomas Aylesbury, who held a high legal office and through whom he was able to pursue a successful career at the bar and become keeper of the writs and rolls of common pleas. He also established himself in literary and philosophical circles and counted the dramatist Ben Jonson, the jurist and scholar John Selden, and the statesman Lord Falkland among his friends.
In 1640 he was drawn into politics as a member in the Short Parliament (April–May 1640), called to finance Charles I's war against Scotland, and in the Long Parliament, which opposed Charles during the Civil War. Emerging as a critic of Ship Money (a tax levied for defense) and other new policies of the crown, he joined the attack on the misuse of the royal prerogative and helped to abolish oppressive courts and commissions. But he resisted measures that might permanently damage the balanced relations among king, House of Lords, and the Commons and opposed efforts to dictate the king's choice of ministers. From the first, he championed the Anglican establishment, for which he was commended by Charles I. It was as a Parliamentarian, however, that he opposed the execution of the earl of Strafford, one of the king's chief advisers, and resisted the Root and Branch Bill, which would have abolished the episcopacy.
With the Commons' adoption of the Grand Remonstrance of November 1641, which demanded a voice for Parliament in the appointment of the king's ministers and in the reform of the church, accommodation between Charles I and Parliament became more difficult. Henceforth, Hyde chose to work behind the scenes as an adviser of the crown. He recommended moderate measures, which if consistently pursued might have undermined support for John Pym's radical leadership in the Commons. But Charles's attempt to seize five members of Parliament in January 1642 brought Hyde nearly to despair. After that, although civil war was not yet inevitable, few men were able to trust the king. For a while, Hyde's constructive moderation prevailed.
Joining the king at York about the end of May 1642, Hyde was proscribed by Parliament as an "evil counselor." Though he became a member of the Royalist council of war, Hyde was never a combatant in the ensuing conflict. From 1643, as a privy councillor and as chancellor of the Exchequer, he tried to moderate the influence of the military leaders. He advised Charles to summon a parliament at Oxford in December 1643. Its success was limited, however, and a year later Hyde agreed to recognize Westminster's claim to be the true Parliament. In January 1645 he vainly tried to temper parliamentary demands for control of the militia and for a presbyterian type of church government. By then there was little room left for Hyde's scrupulous constitutionalism, and his appointment as guardian to the prince of Wales was a convenient means of disposing of him.
Hyde left Charles I in March 1645 and accompanied the prince to the island of Jersey in April 1646. Later, the queen ordered the prince to move to Paris, a step that he had advised against. Unable to influence events, Hyde began a draft of his History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England in the hope that his interpretation of recent errors might instruct the king for the future.
Although he rejoined the queen and prince in Paris in 1648, Hyde remained a powerless spectator of Charles I's last efforts to save his throne and his life. He was no less helpless in seeking to guide the new king. Disapproving strongly of Charles II's policies, he was glad to escape from the quarrelsome court by accompanying a mission to Madrid, one, however, that proved unsuccessful in securing assistance from Spain.

I could put a third of them with 'up' pointing along the x axis of my model, a third pointing along the y axis and a third pointing along the z axis. If I did this, I know that two thirds of my models would come out correctly. Alternatively, I can have all of my models pointing the same direction, and hope that it is printed in the correct orientation. For both of these plans, the expected proportion of good models would be 2/3 of them. Here's another thought: What if I arrange the objects in a way to maximise the chance that it will be printed in the correct orientation? Suppose for example that I arrange the models so that they are lined up as a long stick, rather than being in a cube. In fact, suppose that my stick is so long that it won't fit into the machine other than in exactly one orientation. Then knowing which way this has to appear in the machine, I can choose the orientation of each of my objects in the stick so that they will definitely be printed correctly. Would that be evil? ]]> henryseg 2012-12-02T02:54:15-00:00 Re: Printing orientation for multiple small objects in a single file http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=57857&th=11822#msg_57857 Suppose I have a model whose bounding box is a regular cube, with the same length, height and width. Then, presumably (?), it couldn't possibly help Shapeways to rotate the object before printing. So in this case, could I assume that the printing orientation would be the same as it appears on the model's page?]]> henryseg 2012-12-02T05:23:18-00:00 Re: Printing orientation for multiple small objects in a single file http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=57872&th=11822#msg_57872 Take a look at this picture... the object on the left is rather plain but it doesn't fill the entire bounding box. When the packing software goes to assemble a job, it may very well setup two of them stacked as you see on the right. This way, even if the bounding box was a certain size, the top copy still would get flipped over to make them "fit". This is to say, you don't get the whole bounding box volume "to yourself".. I know that I've seen small items stacked INSIDE a Ring Poem Candle Holder during a build. Be aware: if we impose on Shapeways the requirement that things be printed in our specified orientation, it will reduce the number of items they can put in a single build job and will (to a degree) add to their cost to print the things.]]> stonysmith 2012-12-02T16:26:01-00:00 Re: Printing orientation for multiple small objects in a single file http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=57889&th=11822#msg_57889 Another question: If I have the choice to collect my 50 small objects together into a near-cube shape, or line them up as a long "stick", which is actually better for Shapeways? I had assumed the former would be better, but thinking about it more, it isn't so obvious to me. Does Shapeways ever split up a file of many small objects into parts, to better fit into the machine around other things?]]> henryseg 2012-12-02T22:56:41-00:00

Married veterans' advocates Doug and Pam Sterner worked tirelessly for years lobbying Congress to enact a bill making it illegal to lie about one's military service and awards. That hard work paid off in December 2006 when the Stolen Valor Act was signed into law. After several legal challenges, however, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the law unconstitutional in June 2012 on First Amendment grounds. Congress immediately took up a revised version of the statute, which President Obama signed into law on June 13, 2013. The new Stolen Valor Act narrows the law's focus by making it a federal crime to misrepresent one's military service only "with the intent to obtain anything of value." In an accessible account filled with reconstructed dialogue, the authors detail how their work honoring Medal of Honor recipients morphed into a deep involvement in the "wannabe" issue in the late 1990s. The self-proclaimed "fraud busters" expose men who have falsely claimed they earned high military decorations, including the Medal of Honor. The authors also include appendices on how to ferret out fraudsters as well as navigate the potentially daunting maze of official records. (Feb.)

By Hayley M. Cook
WILLIAMSON – Has West Virginia finally recovered from one of the largest water chemical contamination incidents in the history of the United States?
That is the question many residents of the Mountain State may be pondering, due to the 2014 Elk River chemical spill, which polluted the drinking water in nine counties, including Logan County, which is situated right next door to Mingo County.
The spill occurred when 7,500 gallons of crude MCHM leaked from a one-inch hole in the bottom of a stainless steel storage tank at Freedom Industries' Charleston facility.
Other incidents have also occurred, including earlier this year when 82,000 tons of toxic coal ash spilled into the Dan River, near the border of North Carolina and Virginia, from a pond at a closed Duke Energy power plant. The spill was so toxic that state health officials warned people not to swim in the river or eat fish from it.
Although many months have passed since both of these worrisome spills, many residents of West Virginia may still be wondering how clean their water actually is.
According to the website of Robert B. Jackson, an environmental scientist at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, "The waste products we create to produce energy, and the waste we generate every day, are a threat to drinking water quality."
In an area where coal is prevalent and vital to the economy, what does that mean for the very water we drink and bathe in?
Due to the fact that coal ash contains arsenic, mercury, lead, thallium and other dangerous contaminants, when coal ash is combined with water, a slurry is created that is highly dangerous to drink. However, many residents of West Virginia have consumed it, even at a fatal cost.
Massey Energy settled a case with hundreds of Southern West Virginia residents in 2011 after being accused of contaminating multiple water supplies by dumping more than one billion gallons of toxic coal slurry into worked-out underground coal mines between 1978 and 1987.
In spite of these events, there are some actions consumers may take to ensure the quality of their water is up to par.
For homes that use private water wells, there are no federal or state monitoring regulations, and it is the homeowner's responsibility to make sure their well water is safe to drink. If a difference in the taste, smell, or color of well water is detected, a state-certified lab should be contacted to test the water supply.
On public or municipal water lines, water companies are required by law to monitor the water supply. In most cases, because of this monitoring, it could be assumed that the water meets federal standards. However, as noted, there have been many instances in which this has not been the case.
Those concerned about the safety of their water should consistently pay attention to the taste, smell and color to ensure everything seems normal.
For more information concerning the safety of water, consumers can contact their supplier and request a Consumer Confidence Report, which the supplier is required to provide.
The customer's local water supplier can be contacted by visiting the company's website or by calling the phone number on their water bill. Consumers can also ask for a test to be taken from their own faucet at home. Some suppliers will do this test free of charge, while others do not provide this service.
If any water supplier won't test a customer's water, they can find a state-certified lab by going to the EPA's website or by testing the water on their own with a home test kit. Be aware that these kits can't test for everything, but they can detect lead, arsenic, pesticides and bacteria.
Consumers may also invest in water purifying systems for their faucet, which also come in the form of pitchers, and help to remove inorganic compounds.
It does seem the main factor in ensuring drinking water is safe for the typical consumer consists of being aware. By paying attention to the quality of the water and updates from local water companies, consumers will have a head start on keeping themselves and their families safe in times of water-related emergencies.

The Antelope
The Antelope is related to Lost but deals with the woman's friends.
A man named Oreyn was captured by some Jottun while trying to worm out of a relationship with a woman named Marga. You will find Oreyn in a square courtyard east of the Brigand Hall Caverns in Lorca-Rane. Once you've freed him by defeating the Jottun, you can locate Marga Sammoc easily on the map.
Alternately, if you stumble on Marga Sammoc first, she will ask you to locate Oreyn for her (which leads you to the same spot). Marga is waiting by a small campsite on the west road (which runs north-south) in Lorca-Rane. To prove that Oreyn is alive or dead, find the Silver Chain in the Jottun camp; you will get the same dialogue from Oreyn as if you rescued him first.

Managing Elk in Rocky Mountain National Park
How to manage the elk in Rocky Mountain National Park has been in the news lately, what with the beginning of culling operations. But the decisions on how to manage the elk herds were not made overnight.
Also not occurring overnight were the problems the growing elk population have exacted on the park. Many other species -- beavers, deer, birds -- have suffered in various forms as the elk numbers continued to skyrocket.
While the Moraine Park area of Rocky Mountain had a population of 100 beaver in its riparian areas in 1964, today there are just six, largely because of the problems elk have caused by heavily browsing down the area's willow stands. By taking an active hand in managing the elk population, which boomed without a keystone predator in the park that might have tamped down the numbers, park managers hope the willow stands, and the beaver populations, will rebound.
This 12-minute video explains the problems park managers were confronted with, and how they arrived at the solutions they're implementing.

There's nothing funny about the gun-toting 'Geezer Bandit'
Ever been held up before? Had somebody flash a gun at you?
It's a real treat.
I once worked at a drugstore in Baltimore that was routinely robbed. My buddy was on duty the night two guys came charging in with guns, putting one to his face. A customer walked in. He was shot and killed. The bullet shattered the glass door. Blood stained the linoleum floor.
We all worked in fear for months after that.
So all you people who think that the "Geezer Bandit" is a harmless, hip old dude, or a punch line, you should think again.
He's an armed robber.
At just about every heist, he pulls a gun.
News flash: Guns are scary, particularly when you're on the wrong side of one.
The Geezer Bandit last struck on June 7, robbing a bank in an Albertsons store in Poway. He pulled a gun and said he'd use it if he didn't get money.
I went there and an employee said he couldn't talk about it. (Banks generally don't comment on bank robberies, for fairly obvious reasons.)
The FBI has branded the bank robber the Geezer Bandit because he appears to be an old man. They think he's hit 10 area banks.
Sometimes, he carries an oxygen tank and has tubes running to his nose. He has hobbled in on a cane. The FBI isn't sure if he's really an old man or somebody in a disguise.
But his string of robberies has generated a lot of publicity and there's even a Facebook page that salutes his crimes. Jay Leno has made jokes about him.
"You're my ... hero dude," wrote one person on the Facebook page, which has more 1,100 followers.
Some of the people who are giving him props are angry with the U.S. banking system, which is understandable, given how the federal government had to bail out many institutions because of greed and incompetence.
But it's doubtful the Geezer Bandit is fueled by vengeance toward U.S. banking policy. It's not as if he's leaving manifestos. He's just taking money.
"It's sick," said Harriet Salarno, president of Crime Victims United of California, of the Geezer Bandit's popularity. "I wish I could say the right word, but it's sick."
The glorification of bank robbers is hardly new. The American landscape is full of such characters: Jesse James, Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger, Billy the Kid.
Raising their status is bogus, said Mike Alerich, a retired Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department detective who runs a blog called Bank Terrorists.
Why does he call them terrorists?
Because they are, he said.
"It's force and fear," Alerich said. "You know why they do this? It's a power trip."
Famous bank robbers of old had their reputations elevated thanks to a complying press and a public easily fascinated by such crimes. Some of the criminals were portrayed as the little guy getting even, particularly during the Great Depression.
Have we not evolved?
Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor is nothing more than a childish fantasy, Alerich said.

Ballin DemoJan 10, 2012 Demo 1 comment
The Ballin demo includes free access to the first ten levels. Try it out now! Only available for Windows.
Ballin is all about gravity. It is a two-dimensional physics-based puzzle game with a unique twist, where the player must navigate a ball through a level of dangerous blocks in order to reach the portal key. However, the player cannot move the ball directly. In order to navigate the level, you must alter the world's gravity, allowing the ball to move through the level on its own.

Ballin is now on sale as part of Because We May.
"Developer Independence is a fantastic thing. Being able to control the prices for your games needs to be celebrated. We here at DesuraNET believe that as a developer you should have the freedom to do as you please, and it seems we are not the only ones who share such ideals.
Because We May is a sale collective of developers from different websites, devices and genres that have set low prices for the last week of May. Why? Because they can."
The Ballin demo includes free access to the first ten levels. Try it out now! Only available for Windows.
Every time I try to run the demo, it says something to the effect of "The tool Visual Studio 2010 x86 failed to install. Bad result [37.0]". I'm on a windows 7 x64 machine, if that helps.
I've never come across that error, but I've tried including the x64 redistributable. Let me know if that solves the problem for you.
It did not. The info that came up leads me to believe it was still trying to install the x86 version.
I think it might be a problem with the Desura client not installing the redistributable correctly. I'm going to upload a new version of the Demo that includes the redist directly in the install file. Also, starting with the new patch, a standalone installer will also be available.
Any chance of a Linux version?
The plan is to have a Linux version available in less than two weeks.
Use a device with rotation & acceleration sensor. I think it makes more sense.
Mobile devices with this functionality are already in the works! :)
Cool puzzle game. =)

Emmys, online shows may take big leap Thursday
LOS ANGELES If Netflix's "House of Cards" and "Arrested Development" on Thursday become the first online contenders to nab top Emmy nominations, it will be a breakthrough moment for shows making a splash without the aid of a TV set.
If not, it's just a matter of time before the inevitable happens.
The video universe that once meant simply broadcast television, then added cable and satellite, has splintered again to encompass websites including YouTube and streaming services including Netflix and Amazon.
The expansion was recognized in 2008 by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a rules change that added the Internet as an eligible Emmy platform. As with broadcast networks and other video distributors, programs must reach more than half of the U.S. audience to make the cut.
When the Emmy nods are announced early Thursday, a fair number of pundits say clever political drama "House of Cards" and "Arrested Development," the offbeat sitcom resurrected by Netflix after it was dumped by Fox, will be in the awards hunt.
The series are tagged for possible top drama and comedy bids, with "House of Cards" stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright and "Arrested Development" cast members including Jason Bateman, Jeffrey Tambor and Jessica Walter seen as contenders for acting nominations.
There have been Internet nominees before, such as last year's "Web Therapy" and "30 Rock: The Webisodes" in a short-format category, but not in the premier fields of acting and best series.
Online shows competing with Emmy champs "Breaking Bad" and "Modern Family" will be the 21st- century version of the watershed 1990s showings by HBO's "The Larry Sanders Show, "The Sopranos" and "Sex and the City" in those high-gloss categories.
As for this year's potential game-change, "It certainly is a marker of the new era. ... It will send shock waves through the industry," said Tim Brooks, a former network executive and TV historian who co-wrote "The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows."
The Emmys rarely provide a ratings boost akin to the box-office advantage that can be conferred by Oscar or Tony honors, but Brooks said they are meaningful to industry insiders.
"It makes it acceptable for A-list creatives to work for you. They like awards and the acclaim of their fellows," he said. Good programming thus begets more good programming and, for services like Netflix, potentially more revenue-producing subscribers.
Garth Ancier, a former network chief and an Emmy voter, received DVDs of Netflix's series as part of the usual lobbying efforts that surround awards.
"I was kind of surprised, because I don't really think of Netflix as being television," Ancier said. It also seems "sort of odd the academy is so up-to-date. That said, `House of Cards' is great stuff and it does make sense."
The change in the awards to be presented on CBS Sept. 22 reflects the relentless march of technology - and a comparatively fleet response by Emmy organizers, noted one observer.
"The Emmys are being surprisingly open to new media these days, considering their stubborn history" with cable, said Tom O'Neil, editor of the Gold Derby awards predictions website.

I found a Kodak data sheet (http://www.kodak.com/global/en/profe...bs/j24/j24.pdf) that suggests 5 minutes in dilution B for Verichrome Pan (in a small tank with 30-second agitation intervals, at 20 C). I'm not sure what the "see-saw method" is, but it sounds like it might more closely resemble large-tank development (for which the sheet gives slightly longer times). Interestingly, 8 minutes at 18 C is exactly the data sheet's large-tank recommendation.
I've only done Verichrome Pan once; I used dilution E for 8 minutes at a slightly warm room temperature (I don't remember where I got the time from). The roll seemed underdeveloped; it didn't have a fog problem, and there were no areas of really good density. If I were doing it again, I'd shoot for more development than that; perhaps the same time with dilution B.

Lawmakers did some good work for higher education
The current special session of the Legislature, due to wind up today, has given Texas colleges and universities the approval to issue $1.8 billion in bonds for facilities improvements.
It was a welcome, and urgently needed, departure from a succession of special sessions that for the most part generated only rancor, frustration, and political postuiring.
Facing rapidly growing enrollment everywhere, the state's colleges and universities have no option but to expand if they are to educate the state's future leaders. That growth in facilities is especially critical at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi where rocketing growth is putting classroom space at a premium.
A similar measure died in the last regular session in 2005, leaving university leaders in a bind. Political realities being what they are, A&M-Corpus Christi officials had to go back to the drawing board, as did other university leaders. Instead of three separate projects, A&M-Corpus Christi now is looking at one building that would house nursing, health sciences and kinesology. The bottom line is that the university will still be looking at a space deficit, but the gap will narrow.
Legislators still have to finish the job when they return next year in regular session; $400 million must be appropriated for debt service on the bonds that are guaranteed by student tuition.
Like Texas public school schools, higher education is often treated as an optional government expense. But the state's future is not optional. The bond measure is a large step toward meeting that obligation.
