In Dire Health
Most people assume that insurance is an essential part of the health-care system. Some think it should be provided through public programs like Medicare, while others prefer to see it purchased from private insurance companies, but the majority believe that insurance is needed to help pay the unpredictable and often catastrophic expenses of medical care. That is why so much public policy focuses on extending coverage to as many people as possible and controlling its cost. I think this emphasis on insurance is mistaken. We would have a much better and more affordable health-care system if the reimbursement of medical expenses through public or private insurance plans was replaced by tax-supported universal access to comprehensive care, without bills for specific services and without insurance plans to pay those bills.
Insurance is not simply a mechanism for spreading financial risks and paying for medical care. Because it usually tries to limit payments to providers, insurance often is an intrusive third party in the doctor-patient relationship and, particularly with private insurance, restricts the freedom of doctors and patients to select the services, specialists, and facilities they want to use. At the same time, insurance coverage tends to encourage the "moral hazard" of overuse of elective services, by reducing patients' awareness of costs and limiting their out-of-pocket expenditures. Furthermore, all insurance plans have administrative expenses, and most private plans take profits that add to the cost of their premiums. The billing and collecting operations that are an integral part of any insured health system are a major expense for doctors and hospitals as well. Billing and collecting through insurance also offer abundant opportunities for fraud and abuse, which skim off as much as 5 percent to 10 percent of the total expenditure on health care.
For-profit insurance companies, which control most of the private market, are the greatest problem. They have a direct conflict of interest with their customers, because a plan's net income is increased by avoiding coverage of patients with serious illnesses (who, of course, are most in need of insurance), restricting access to services, and limiting coverage of expensive medical conditions. Provisions in the new Affordable Care Act, which take effect in 2014, will prevent private insurers from denying or dropping coverage because of illness, but the act will also put many more people into for-profit insurance plans, which will still be permitted to raise premiums. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the business costs and profits of these plans currently take more than $150 billion from their premiums before paying for medical services and are projected to increase more rapidly than national expenditures on health care. Additionally, the private insurance industry adds costs to doctors and hospitals that must spend tens of billions in billing and collecting from multiple plans, each with its own rules and regulations.
Apologists for the for-profit insurance industry claim that its high overhead costs are justified by greater control of providers' charges, the provision of preventive services, and the promotion of the quality of medical care. No credible evidence supports these claims. The rapid turnover of membership in private plans makes continuity of oversight by insurers nearly impossible and limits the effectiveness of preventive and quality-promoting programs. Despite insurers' efforts to control costs in the private sector, they continue to rise more rapidly than in public programs.
The private insurers' "managed care" plans did stabilize the costs of care in the private sector for a few years in the mid-1990s by limiting patients' choices of physicians and hospitals, monitoring physicians' recommendations of expensive procedures, and reducing elective hospitalizations. However, a backlash from patients and physicians forced the plans to change these tactics, which were seen as an intrusion into the practice of medicine. By the end of the decade, private health costs had resumed their rapid rise. Private for-profit health insurance has now grown into a huge industry that exerts a powerful self-serving influence on national health policy.
Public insurance through Medicare also has its problems. Although its overhead costs (less than 5 percent of expenditures) are much lower than those of private insurance (about 15 percent to 25 percent of expenditures), it also encourages overuse of elective services. Medicare also struggles with constantly rising expenditures. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the program's costs will almost double over the next decade. The increase has caused a federal budget crisis requiring urgent efforts at cost control. Payments to hospitals are being cut, and more medical costs are being shifted to Medicare beneficiaries. Provisions in the Affordable Care Act authorize trials of new forms of payment and new organizations of physicians and hospitals to receive these payments (accountable-care organizations). The administration of these trials, though, will require so much new bureaucracy that their number will be severely limited—even if Republican opposition in Congress doesn't block their implementation. Most experts think that without major reforms, Medicare's rising costs will not be sustainable much longer, but there is little agreement on what reforms will rescue the program or whether any of the proposed cost--saving measures will succeed.
There is, however, a practical alternative to health insurance and the fee-for-service system with which it is usually associated: a not-for-profit system in which a public single payer provides universal access to comprehensive private care delivered by primary-care physicians cooperating with medical specialists in group-practice arrangements. Like health systems based on insurance, this system would not require that patients have much "skin in the game" and therefore might pose a moral hazard that would lead to overuse of elective services. However, unlike insurance-based systems, physicians would be paid by salary rather than fee-for-service, so it would give physicians no financial incentive to recommend unnecessary procedures. Each group's management would determine and pay salaries, under federal regulations that would cap the fraction of the group's budget allocated to salaries but would allow management to determine individual compensation. Furthermore, in this insurance-free system, primary-care physicians trained to avoid unneeded care would counsel patients.
Successful examples already exist of systems that are based on a single payer and group practice centered on primary care. They are self-insured, not-for-profit staff-model HMOs such as Kaiser Foundation health plans, Geisinger Health Plan, and the plan designed by and for the New York hotel and restaurant workers' union. In self-insured plans, there is no third-party insurer to pay the charges; these plans assume the insurance risk of providing their members with the medical care for which they contract. These plans support a multispecialty group practice that provides a specified range of comprehensive medical services. Their members usually choose a primary-care physician in the group who directs their treatment and refers them to specialist colleagues and other personnel in the group as needed. Some plans have no bills for individual services; others charge small token fees for each visit. Evidence shows that plans like these deliver quality, cost-effective care.
The recently reorganized Veterans Affairs medical-care system, once viewed unfavorably, now is often cited as another example of a single-payer system that provides comprehensive care by teams of salaried physicians and other health professionals, without insurance reimbursement. The federal government funds the program, but its patients contribute modest payment for some services.
In the system I envision, there would be no bills, although there might be small token fees at the point of service to discourage overuse for trivial complaints. Regulated private accountable-care organizations of salaried physicians that delivered the treatment would be responsible for staying within budgetary limits set by the agency that paid them on a per-capita basis. Physician groups would be nonprofit; low-cost public reinsurance would compensate them for any losses due to caring for extremely sick patients. Net income could not be used to enhance salaries or make capital improvements but could be applied to upgrading patient services. Physician groups could be expected to pay hospital costs, or hospitals could be separately paid by the single payer, but all hospital charges would be regulated.
Congress would not have a separate health-care system. Everyone, including legislators and government officials, would be in the system and would pay their share of the progressive, designated health-care tax that supported the program. This would, among other things, prevent legislative underfunding. People would be free to choose their primary-care physician and physician group and could change doctors and group membership as they wished. They would also be free to pay for any medical services they might choose outside the publicly funded program.
The envisioned system would be much less expensive than the hodgepodge we now have, because the profits and overhead costs of private insurance would be gone. Without bills, there would be little or no fraud and abuse and less administrative hassle. Without fee-for-service, physicians would have no incentives for unnecessary elective services. And with medical care based on nonprofit groups of cooperating specialists centered on primary-care physicians, there would be good reason to expect services to be efficient and of high quality.
Given what we know about the added costs of private insurance and given informed estimates of the costs of fraudulent billing and of unnecessary and duplicated services, a conservative guess of the total savings from eliminating these problems might be one-third or more of the entire cost of medical care. In any case, these savings would amount to many hundreds of billions—far more than enough to pay for the cost of providing good care for everyone. A reformed system based on group practice could also reduce the cost of defensive medicine (procedures done in response to concerns about malpractice liability). This would probably add a substantial amount to the projected savings. The federal government would have ultimate control over rising costs, because it would set the rate of the designated, progressive tax that funded the entire system and would thereby determine how much could be spent on health care each year. At the beginning of reform, the health tax would presumably collect an amount close to the current total cost of health care. Subsequent tax rates would reflect the new system's needs and its savings.
Converting the present system to the one I have proposed would require a sea change in public opinion and government policy and would also need the support of most of the medical profession. To say the least, it would be a long and difficult process that would be bitterly opposed by the private insurance industry and its friends and by all those who fear a "government takeover" and cling to the groundless belief that the free market can best govern the health-care system. Nevertheless, there are reasons I believe this transformation has at least a chance of becoming reality.
First, physicians are flocking to join group practices in great numbers, and this could be the beginning of a major national reorganization of medical care. About 200,000 physicians (approximately 25 percent to 30 percent of all those in practice) are now employed by multispecialty groups owned by physicians or by hospitals, and this number is increasing by about 10 percent annually. Most of these groups pay their physicians at least a partial salary—only a few pay full salaries. The majority, though, still receive payment from insurance plans on a fee-for-service basis.
A rapidly growing fraction of practicing physicians are beginning to see the advantages to themselves and their patients of organized group practice with partial or full salaries. At the same time, the traditional conservatism of doctors seems to be changing. If this trend continues—and I believe it is being accelerated by the increasing number of women in medicine, who tend to favor group practice and health-care reform—we may see physicians and many medical societies urging basic reforms that would include a single-payer system. Women will soon represent half of all practicing physicians, and their attitudes will influence the profession, patients, and the general public. Legislators, now largely responsive to the financial inducements of lobbyists and vested interests, might begin to appreciate that they need votes even more than money and might become more receptive to proposals for reform that their constituents widely support.
The private health-insurance industry would be a formidable opponent of the reforms I propose, and its position would be supported by those who worry about the many thousands of jobs that might be lost if this industry were to disappear. However, a huge compensating gain in jobs could result from the expansion of employment in businesses that would no longer have to pay the ever-increasing costs of their employees' health insurance. Because health benefits were originally given to employees in lieu of salary increases, employers should be expected to share their savings with their employees in the form of increased wages to help them pay their health-care tax. However, if the new system reduced health-care costs and controlled their rate of rise as much as expected, both employers and employees would benefit.
Private insurers would not be appeased by these developments but might be satisfied if the industry's investors were compensated for their equity interests. Some of the health-care-tax receipts could be used for this purpose over a period of time, perhaps by issuing government bonds to investors in exchange for stock in the private insurance companies.
The phasing-out of private insurance could also be accomplished through competition from a government program. Medicare coverage could be offered to those under age 65 as an alternative to private insurance in decade-by-decade steps. This would allow time for physicians to develop their group-practice arrangements and for the government to carry out trials of capitated payment to groups (that is, payment on a per-capita basis for comprehensive care). To control costs, capitated payments would ultimately have to replace Medicare's current fee-for-service arrangement, and this would mean a change in the way most Medicare beneficiaries receive their care. Instead of being subsidized by government to obtain health care on a fee-for-service basis, beneficiaries would be expected to select a group practice in a system that would meet all their medical needs at a cost no more—and probably less—than they would pay for Medicare coverage. Opponents of reform would nevertheless claim this abandons entitlements for the elderly, so it would take a lot of public education—and the medical profession's reassurance—to convince Medicare beneficiaries that they would be much better off in the new system.
Experiments at the state level could facilitate national conversion to a single-payer system. Vermont recently passed legislation to establish such a system and is working toward reorganizing the delivery of medical care. As economic pressures for reform continue to grow, other states may follow. The Hawaii Legislature is considering a universal health system, and Massachusetts is looking at replacing fee-for-service with some form of global payment. The success of state experiments like these would embolden the federal government to act on a national level.
I do not underestimate the complexity of the changes I am proposing. The odds against it are daunting. Congress might not even begin to debate major reform until the health system is near collapse. But what seems clear is that the best—possibly the only—hope for achieving universal, affordable care lies in the eventual elimination of private insurance and fee-for-service payment and in the creation of a tax-supported system based on group practice. Although this proposal makes good medical, social, and economic sense, its ultimate fate will be decided in the political arena. It cannot become a reality without an informed and aroused public bolstered by the medical profession's strong support for the reform.

if single payer worked, medicaid and Medicare would not be bankrupt! Try real reform, like means testing for Medicaid, and privatization. Healthcare will break the debt. Then we will get socialist rationing like Canada and Britain, in which people die horribly: http://www.slideshare.net/CraigJCasey/obamacare-rationing

Replacing our byzantine medical system with a slightly different one is the tactic taken by Obama and friends. It is not the answer and never will be.
While there are several different single payer approaches (see pnhp.org), the Canadian system provides a good starting place for comparisons. The Canadian system includes everyone, the US does not. t\There is little differences between the US and Canada in terms of care, or even waiting times except for those in the US who cannot afford care and may have to wait for poorly timed care when they end up in an emergency room. The overall cost is much less in Canada and even focusing on the costs to governments (plural because the national and provincial governments share costs) the Canadian cost is little different. Incentives are more rationally aligned in Canada because health care not profit maximization is the primary goal. The only "honest" reason for rejecting single payer is that it is not politically feasible Translation: THE POWERS THAT BE WILL NOT LET THE MAJORITY HAVE WHAT THEY WANT. poll after poll shows that the majority want an improved Medicare for All single payer sytem despite the Corporate medias hostility towards the only rational solution to our country's health care mess.

Yes, Canada performs well in terms of the health of their people. (http://mforall.org/p/1008#barchart) Yes, like other free-market countries, their people experience no major medical bills (http://mforall.org/p/966) and no medical bankruptcies (http://mforall.org/p/173#barchart). Yes, Canadians love their health care to an astonishing degree (http://mforall.org/p/944)
But Canada has 12 payers and 12 plans. We will have 1 payer and 1 plan. And our size means that we will have the best negotiating power, which our Veterans Administration has been doing for years to get prices at a fraction of the list price. We will have the best: http://www.mforall.org/p/Best
All we need is informed Americans so that they are no longer so heavily impacted by the media to an unbelievable degree: http://www.mforall.org/p/Media

Canada does not have all the "defensive medicine" costs we have due to our legal system. Revenue collection costs in Canada are borne by their IRS; ours are shown as medical admin. Incentives are not more rationally aligned in the absence of a profit motive. Think of the Soviet Union. There was no profit motive anywhere and no "rationally aligned" expenses. That is not to say that S-P is not a good idea but arguments in favor of it need to be better than this.

Dude your post is full of logical fallacies.
Medicare's problem is not endemic to the program, it is a far more efficient system than is private insurance. Medicare is blowing out the debt because of the runaway cost of medicine. And how the hell will privatizing Medicare fix that without rationing care? Think about it for a moment, why does Medicare exist in the first place? It was created because private health care does not *want* to insure the elderly, they have too high claims costs.
Medicare is not means tested because then it becomes "welfare", and we know how popular *that* is. The same argument can be made about Social Security, but I digress...
You float that old canard; "Socialized medicine sux!", but you only hear Americans making that claim (U. S. A. ! U. S. A.!!) I have asked many foreigners about their healthcare systems, and health insurance is not at the top of their list of concerns. There are no perfect systems out there, tradeoffs must be made. But without doubt, we have the one of the worst possible health care systems in the world. Sure it's great for the few people that can afford gold-plated care, but for most the cost and outcomes are among the worst in the world.
I will grant you that "Obama Care" is a god-awful program, but not because it is "Socialized Medicine". It is awful because it is a huge give-away to the health insurance industry and will do nothing to slow the runaway costs.
The key point here is that our private insurance-centric health care system in America is collapsing before our eyes. It's time to contemplate what happens after that. And yes, rationing will necessarily be part of the solution. We have to face facts that people die, and stop spending so many health care dollars at the end of peoples' lives.

Dr Relman, we could simply use the Medicare model and improve on it. We don't need to add Medigap, means testing, nor even a small co-pay. Research has shown that the number of patients who misuse the Canadian single payer system because they "enjoy" going to the doctor is statistically insignificant.
As for commenter CraigJCasey, I fear you've been listening to propaganda (Fox News or Frasier Institute) or anecdotal evidence about the Canadian system. Urgent care is delivered promptly. You may wait for non-urgent care, but you do get treated, and no terrifying bill ever arrives. You and your countrymen have, in essence, prepaid your treatment via taxes. And when they need care it will be there for them.
Here's an anecdote to think about. My CDN sister-in-law was on vacation in Phoenix. A women at the pool said, "My daughter had a premature baby who had to stay in the hospital 3 weeks. When they took her home, the bill was for $30,000. How much would that bill be in Canada?" My sister-in-law replied, "Nothing.."
Of course, there's no free lunch. The Canadians pay slightly more in taxes than we do,, but in the end they have more discretionary income to spend at the grocery, on a new Tv, on a car, etc. Because they don't have huge healthcare costs!

Excellent points, but a clarification is needed, since improved Medicare for All will be a system that is dramatically improved from the original Medicare ... even the Medicare before it was partly privatized. Take a look

Great contribution to the discussion.
An additional point: ALL our industries in the USA since WWII have gone through enormous transitions and dislocations. Those employed in the for-profit health insurance business simply need to look ahead and prepare themselves for change -- we all have-- for decades. Should this industry be any different? Using this aspect of reform as a reason for hesitancy or concern is yet another smoke screen promulgated by the insurance industry. Or, one could look at this as yet another threat by the industry...threatening people being a core competency. As if.

This set of comments is a first draft of trying to clear things up for anyone confused by the "In Dire Health" article. [Any refinement of this draft will be posted within the Medicare for All org website, not here.] There is reason(s) for a reader to be confused. There seems to be an attempt by the author to complain about "insurance", but the examples of a solution includes references to "self-insured" which is insurance! Holy cow!
When the United States establishes single-payer health care, improved Medicare for All, we will have the best health care for all in the world. I am happy to see that a side-by-side documentation about that best health care (http://www.mforall.org/p/Best) has some use of the word "insurance". Examples: "We will have one public (insurance) agency with maximum cost-efficiency." and "We'll have one health insurance plan."
That is, we will have a national health insurance plan. We might forever call it a "health plan" or a "health care plan", but it will be an insurance plan.
"Insurance" is pooling together of money to pay the bills for some unfortunate activity, such as a fire, a theft, in illness, or an accident that harms someone physically. There is a low risk for each individual person who has contributed to the "pool" of money that is used to pay most or all of the cost(s) of those who actually experience the activity, such as the examples just listed.
"Insurance" helps to "ensure" that any one person has little or no hardship(s) when the unfortunate activity occurs.
There is no point in debating about insurance or complaining about it. Whether we use the word or not in the future, insurance is what we will have. The insurance will occur via only ONE (health insurance) payer and ONE (health insurance) plan in order to be the MOST efficient and be the LOWEST risk for each participant (each citizen and each full-time resident of our country and logically some kind of provision for visitors who have an accident while visiting in the USA.)
What does "best" mean? Efficiency gives incredibly positive results. We will have the highest efficiency with ONE plan and ONE payer. Due to our size we will be the best negotiator, paying the lowest prices for equipment and prescription drugs instead of the highest. As a result, we will no longer subsidize MANY countries around the world by us paying the highest prices, while they pay low prices. We will move from being a most amazingly stupid country regarding how to finance health care to the most brilliant.
Part of the new situation will be the negotiated prices.
Another part will be the elimination of unnecessary administrative costs within our three areas of bureaucracy: government, for-profit companies, and a related supporting bureaucracy. ( http://mforall.org/p/791 )
There are other aspects, but one aspect will be that we will have one health INSURANCE plan with one public (health insurance) agency.

A couple of things that the author did not mention or consider:
1. There are 1.2 million lawyers in the US. What is "defensive medicine" currently costing and what if anything would change under single-payer.
2. The cost of collecting the revenue currently is included in total medical expenses. Under S-P the expense is still there but it does not show up because the IRS incures the cost. That makes S-P look better than it is.
3. The admin costs incurred by private insurrers is not "unneccessary". S-P will have the same expenses unless they use the Medicare model in which case the admin costs saved are misleadiong because they are offset by overpays to providers.
4. Private insurance is not going to disappear. S-P fees to medical providers will be lower than some would earn on their own. The doctors that are able to charge above average fees will do just that. Why would they work for the government
for less.
If you are going to write a convincing article comparing private insurance with S-P these issues have to at least be mentioned.

There are many words of French origin in English, such as art, collage, competition, force, machine, police, publicity, role, routine, table, and many others which have been and are being anglicized. They are now pronounced according to English rules of orthography, rather than French. Approximately 40% of English vocabulary is of French or Oïl language origin, most derived from, or transmitted by, the Anglo-Norman spoken by the upper classes in England for several hundred years after the Norman Conquest, before the language settled into what became Modern English.
This article, however, covers words and phrases that generally entered the lexicon later, as through literature, the arts, diplomacy, and other cultural exchanges not involving conquests. As such, they have not lost their character as Gallicisms, or words that seem unmistakably foreign and "French" to an English-speaking person.
That said, the phrases are given as used in English, and may seem correct modern French to English speakers, but may not be recognised as such by French speakers as many of them are now defunct or have a different meaning due to semantic evolution. A general rule is that if the word or phrase retains French diacritics or is usually printed in italics, it has retained its French identity.

Rainbows and virus
Rainbows and virus
|Published: Monday June 11th 2007 (8 years ago)
Updated: Thursday October 29th 2009, 3:09PMMore about: Denmark | Rainbow trout |
by Martin Joergensen
I had close to 9,000 virus-infected files and three nice rainbows this weekend
Thursday morning I plugged my laptop into a socket at my good friend and partner Steven's house (Danish Steven, not US Steve). I worked on one of our projects there all day and didn't notice anything wrong. When I sat down to work back home Friday morning everything was wrong. I had caught myself a bad infection of a virus/worm called W32/Fujacks, which had taken over the computer and done its best to infect most of my web projects as well as bogging down the machine, sending off my keystrokes, offering my CPU to bot-nets and what other malice it could perform. That in spite of me not doing anything dirty and having a firewall up-and-running - but no anti-virus software. I should say that this is my second attack in the almost 30 years I have worked with computers.
When the current died, so did the fishing, and soon I was back in the virus lab. I let go of the keys at 3 in the morning, machines still working frantically to heal themselves.
I spent a better part of Saturday morning sleeping, woke up, had coffee while loading some new AV-software - and called Henning.
Me: "Recap?"
Him: "Sure!"
So off we went again. A little later, but still in good time.
Needless to say that we could not quite repeat the success from the day before, but I still managed to land two nice rainbows, which both fought like few other trout do. The beauty of the water, the great fishing, the sunset, the weather. Everything was just soothing to my virus-infected soul, and when I got back home all my checkups had returned reports of a healthy system with no virus. So Sunday was spent working (Henning called of course: "They're taking now..." but I resisted the temptation), and now Monday noon the weather is exactly the same, and no doubt that they are taking again... But it's all work and no play, I'm afraid.
Being a self employed consultant has its benefits (like going fishing Friday and Saturday afternoon), but also its drawbacks (like having to catch up Sunday and Monday).

Old Befhpage ana riainvit^Yv VOL. 23 NO. 26 Celebrating Our 23rd Year MA¥- 10-MAY 16, 1990 Ceiehratmg Our P3rd Yr^ur 25CENT5 Humors of GrutntmoM Contatnination Pose No Threat This week is "Water Week" and once again Bethpage water has placed in the finals. On Thursday, May 10th it will be decided whether Bethpage will go on to the State finals and we certainly expect that we will. The Bethpage Water District should be commended for its monitoring and care of our town's water. Mr. Anthony Sabino, Attorney for the Water District, attributes the Districts success to the constant monitoring of water and states that this monitoring procedure far exceeds those required by State and County authorities. He further stated that this rigid monitoring allows the District to provide a near zero contamination level, while not chlorinating the water. Chlorinating is a process which commonly adds a smell and taste while killing bacteria. At this time it is also appropriate to address rumors that Grumman is contaminating Bethpage's water supply. On Wednesday, the Bethpage Tribune met with Jack Carroll, Vice President of Community Relations; Dean Cassell, Vice President of Product Integrity and Environmental Protection and Arthur Gibson, Assistant to the Vice President of Product Liability and Environmental Protection to discuss these rumors. Grumman doesn't admit liability on the issue of contaminating Bethpage wells, however Grumman acknowledges that wells on their Bethpage site exceed Nassau County Board of Health standards. The history of this situation unfolds as follows: In 1974, the Grumman Corporation noticed an odor from their water supply. They immediately notified the Nassau County Board of Health and the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to examine their site. It was determined at that time that their drinking water exceeded the then State standard of 10 parts per million. Grumman immediately stopped using the water for drinking purposes and began using Bethpage and Hicksville water for their drinking supply. Dean Cassell stated **that the water from the contaminated wells is used for process water." Process water is water used in manufacturing, air conditioning and to create steam. Cassell stated that the Bethpage Water District preferred that Grumman continue to pump the wells and use the water as process water because this system in and of itself acts to decontaminate the water. Although no one admits liability, Mr. Cassell stated that it is possible this contamination entered the ground in the 1940's due to Grumman's manufacturing procedures while it is also possible that because the aerospace company pumps such a large amount of water that these contam-inents could have been drawn from neighboring manufacturing plants. However, Jack Carroll stated "instead of debating the facts we are dealing with the issue. There are commonly accepted methods to deal with such a problem and we are taking them." Grumman has been responsibly dealing with this problem for the past twenty years by working closely with the Bethpage Water District, the Nassau County Board of Health and the Department of Environmental Conservation. In the early 1980's the standards for drinking water were tightened to provide that contami-nents in drinking water should not exceed 10 parts per million. The standard was further strengthened to 50 parts per billion and today the standard is 5 parts per billion. "Grumman in an effort to return its wells to these standards erected an aeration tower 18 months ago. This tower returns the water to the recharge basin at a level of 1 part per billion or less." Gibson stated. "Together with the continued pumping of the well and the stripping tower we are confident Grumman has kept all the contamination within its fences." Mr. Cassell stated. "The question isn't are we cleaning the water but rather can we clean it faster" he concluded. Presently, as well as in the past Grumman has been in constant negotiations with the DEC and the Bethpage Water District and expects the DEC will be placing test wells on the site to determine if the water problem has remained on Grumman property and if the measures that Grumman has already taken is satisfiwtory or if additional meMures must be taken to contain or cure this problem. Grumman will pay for this investigation and will support it in every way possible. We also spoke with Water District spokesman, Anthony Sabino regarding this matter. Mr. Sabino told us that Plant 6, located on Motor Lane in Bethpage has two wells. One well was shut down in 1976 by the Nas.sau County Board of health and the second well was closed by the Water District when it discovered trace tri-chloroethylene in the water. However, that well did not exceed the standard then of 50 parts per billion. Nevertheless, in 1988 the District concluded that contaminated water was moving towards the well and it took the precaution of constructing a stripping (aeration) tower at a cost of SI.5 million dollars. This tower purifies the drinking water to a near zero parts per billion level....which is virtually perfect drinking water. The water from this well has been approved by the Nassau County Board of Health and is planned to be put back into (Continued on page 9) On Tuesday, May % the Nassau County Pottce MeUcopter lamleii in the King Kullen Shopping Center in Bethpage to come to the aid of a local shopper, John Fiore, 73 who was having a heart attack* The air r^cue attempt was aborted and Mr. Fiore was taken to a local h<Mpltal for treatiront via ambulance Photos by Frank CMt«lli

Ahh I see, the old Gamestop switcheroo, that is how they talked me into getting the Basic. So yeah, he might not have it at all. Got it now.
Not exactly, they had him pre-order a game and they going to try to "switch" the game pre-order to a deluxe after (since the money will be in the system), there still a chance this falls through.

This review is from AVERY Mailing Seal, 15 per sheet, 5248:
For years I struggled with trying to see the labels on spice jars located on a rack on the back of a lower kitchen cabinet door. The mailing seals fit perfectly on the top of the lid of the jars, making them easy to locate.
This review is from AVERY Mailing Seal, 15 per sheet, 5248:
Used these seals on tri-folded sheets for a bulk mailing, two seals per piece. The easy-peel feature made it easy to remove the seals from the backing. In a few cases, the top layer of backing did not peel away from the seal, a minor annoyance. Overall good performance.

The four finalist artists/artist teams have submitted their proposals for the Memorial. The final four emerged from a talented pool of nearly 60 applicants from 23 states who responded to a widely promoted "Call to Artists." The Memorial will be located at the Charles Houston Recreation Center. Announcement of the winning artist is anticipated in June.
The finalists for the Charles Hamilton Houston Memorial were chosen as a result of an international "Call for Artists" that generated applications from 59 artists from 23 different states.
The finalists are:
The proposals are now on display as follows:
The public is invited to record comments in the notebook provided at the display location, or e-mail comments to email@example.com. The Selection Panel and Stakeholder Advisory Group will consider the public comments during the selection process. The recommendation for the winning artist will be voted on by the Alexandria Commission for the Arts and City Council.
Charles Hamilton Houston was a nationally-known civil rights leader and NAACP attorney who fought for equality in public education. He became involved with Alexandria in 1941, when a group of concerned citizens petitioned for a new school and eventually appealed to the NAACP for assistance. Houston took on this challenge and used his knowledge and influence to aid the community in their fight. Their efforts were successful and a new Parker-Gray High School was built in 1950. The memorial will represent, honor and memorialize Charles Hamilton Houston and preserve the story of the city's fight for equality in education, highlighting the history of Parker-Gray High School.
A committee of Alexandria residents has been established to raise the funds for this project, in the amount of $300,000, through grants and private donations. To contribute to the Memorial, please contact: Alisa Carrel, Director of the Office of the Arts, at email@example.com or 703.746.5590.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Manchester United utility man Phil Jones has re-iterated his desire to establish himself at centre-back for both club and country.
The 21-year-old has been a victim of his own versatility at Old Trafford, being used regularly both as a defensive midfielder and at right-back.
However, before joining United he was used primarily as a centre-back by former club Blackburn, and while Jones is happy to operate in any position for both his club and Roy Hodgson's England, his long-term ambition remains to play in the centre of defence.
Ahead of England's friendly against Chile at Wembley on Friday, Jones said of his flexibility: "There are advantages and disadvantages to it.
"I see it as an advantage and playing in numerous positions can only help me when hopefully I do go back to centre-back and establish myself there.
"That's the target. I said when I broke into Blackburn's first team that was the target and that was where people saw me playing.
"I keep saying it. As long as I am enjoying my football it is up to the England or the Manchester United manager where they pick me."
For now, though, Jones is simply relishing playing time, particularly after battling with injuries in recent times.
"There are so many world-class players who can play for this country so if you're in that squad each time, whether a friendly or a competitive game, there's no better feeling," he added.
"It's been a little bit frustrating (with injury). I had a few niggles at the start of last season which didn't help.
"I had a good run in the side with my club at the back end of last season and, hopefully, the more I keep playing with my club, the more international chances I'll get."
Following their friendly fixture against Chile, England play Germany at Wembley on Tuesday.

Arnold clients that are publicly traded tracked 25% points ahead of the S&P 500 from 2008–2012. While we can't take complete credit for that spread, we know our clients would say that we have contributed to their success.
Agency President Pam Hamlin Names Christopher Campos to Lead New Offering
Arnold Worldwide today announced a new offering to help clients profit from the growing U.S. Hispanic market. The capability eliminates the redundancies and silos associated with hiring both a General Market Agency and a Hispanic Agency by providing clients with a more efficient, integrated approach to reaching America's growing cross-cultural audience.
The announcement was made by Arnold Global President Pam Hamlin, who said the agency has hired Christopher Campos as Managing Director, Growth Strategies and Development; Marco Castro as VP, Director of Operations; and Hugo Castillo as VP, Creative Director – three senior agency executives with proven track records in strategic and creative development of cross-cultural campaigns – to lead this area.
"The growing population of second- and third-generation Hispanics who identify with the Latino culture – but speak English – is giving birth to a new cross-cultural marketplace," said Hamlin. "We will help clients capture this business opportunity with a seamless, integrated offering."
Arnold's new cross-cultural marketing services will be fully integrated into all of the agency's functions – marketing, strategy and creative. Clients who want to speak to the diversity of the marketplace can have one team developing programs that are built on truths that cross ethnic boundaries while leveraging cultural insights that will be dialed up and down by channel.
"For today's multigenerational Hispanic consumer, culture trumps language," said Campos. "Cultural insights are more meaningful than utilizing language exclusively in connecting with this audience. While we can provide clients with in-language services for Hispanic media channels, our approach is designed to capture the full breadth of the market."
"We are thrilled to have Chris, Marco and Hugo join us," said Hamlin. "They are best-in-class advertising professionals who will contribute to the growth of Arnold by serving in leadership positions across all parts of our business – cross-cultural and general. They are an integrated part of our team, just like this capability is an integrated part of our services."
Campos, Castro and Castillo come to Arnold from Y&R Brands/BRAVO, where they worked most recently as VP, Managing Director; Director of Integrated Account Operations; and Creative Director, respectively. Campos and Castro worked together previously as co-founders of Hive+Ideation, a pioneering Hispanic communications planning company designed to develop marketing solutions beyond traditional advertising.
Campos and Castro also worked together at GlobalHue, where they established and grew the agency's Hispanic division from 2004 – 2007. Campos served as EVP, General Manager, while Castro was Director of Account Operations.

What others are saying
"Very Happy!"Walter Deegan of Keyport, NJ
Having used this filter for the past month, I can say that it was very easy to set up and use. The top comes off easily by just flipping the locks (be sure to depressurize it first) so when the filters need cleaning it is an easy matter to remove them. All in all it was the best purchase I made for my small pond (800 gallons).View entire review
"Model 3600 Allclear Pressurized UV Filte"James Gourley of Conyers, GA
My pond has never looked better. After two weeks my water is crystal clear and I would recommend this product to anyone. It is nice to buy a product that truly does the job as advertised. Well worth the investment. Good job Pond Guy. Jamie.View entire review
"glass sleeve protecting UV light broke"David Bomberger of Burien, WA
The filter is really good and has kept the pond clear now for 2 years. However, when I replaced the UV light on Sunday the glass sleeve protecting the the UV light cracked. It is very thin glass, and the replacement sleeve cost a third of the overall filter. Be sure to look at replacement part costs.View entire review
"Pond Looks GREAT!"Donna S. of Carmel, NY
I added the AllClear filter to give my pond some extra filtration due to a heavy fish load. My pond looks great! It was easy to install and has made maintenance a breeze.View entire review
"It actually works great"Don Madson of Amherst, WI
I have had the 2400 for ten days and my pond is almost clear. Was a green and brown mess. Easy to set up and clean. I got sick of buying other products. I would recommend this to anybody!!Well worth the moneyView entire review

X-wings are fictional starfighters from the original Star Wars trilogy and the Star Wars Expanded Universe. They are depicted as the primary interceptor and dogfighter of the Rebel Alliance and the New Republic. The craft has been merchandised as a variety of toys and models and licensed for use in games, novels and comics.
In addition to miniatures, the production crew made a full-size X-wing for scenes in the Rebels' Yavin IV base hangar; combined with cardboard cutouts and careful editing, the Rebels appear to have dozens of fighters. The production crew also made a full-size X-wing cockpit that was used for all actors; the astromech droid visible behind each actor was changed for each starfighter. Background noise pitch and tone also varied between X-wings to further differentiate the characters piloting them. The "lake" in which Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) crashes his X-wing in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back was only 3.5 feet (1 meter) deep, requiring the creation of a rig resembling the starfighter sitting in the lake at an angle. The rig was built in hinged sections so it could be manipulated by frogmen to sink or rise, a key feature for the scene when Luke fails to levitate his ship from the water.
In 1993, ILM visual effects specialist John Knoll created a proof of concept test of dogfighting X-wings and TIE fighters to demonstrate the feasibility of using commercially-available desktop computer software for simple animation work. This resulted in numerous parts of space battle scenes being "re-shot" as digital animations for original trilogy's Special Edition releases. The ARC-170 starfighter seen in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is deliberately reminiscent of the X-wing's design.
The Expanded Universe states that Incom Corporation designers defected to the Rebel Alliance and handed over the X-wing's design. One design of the Z-95 Headhunter is based on an initial Johnston X-wing sketch; the Z-95 has since been described as an X-wing precursor.
According to roleplaying and other material, X-wings depicted in the movies and Expanded Universe material that takes place around the same era are equipped with four laser cannons and a pair of proton torpedo launchers. The fighter has two flight modes: one in which the wings are flat and another when they are expanded into "attack position", affording the wingtip lasers a larger fire area. "S-foil" servomotors control the transition between the two, hence the expression "to lock s-foils in attack position". Lacking an on-board navigation computer, they rely on an astromech droid to calculate hyperspace jumps. The presence of a hyperdrive and deflector shields differentiate the X-wing from the Empire's more-mobile but unshielded TIE fighters, emphasizing the importance the Rebels place on pilots surviving their missions. Novels and roleplaying material state that the X-wing continues to be refined and upgraded in the years beyond Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi; the "XJ"-series X-wings depicted in the war against the Yuuzhan Vong have a third proton torpedo launcher, stronger lasers, and faster engines.
The X-wing appeared in four Micro Machines three-packs, including the first Star Wars pack released, a bronzed version, and a pack of three "battle damaged" X-wings with different coloured markings. The Micro Machines X-wing has also been released in two single-packs, as a promotional souvenir with German video releases, in a nine-pack of Original Trilogy vehicles, and once in clear plastic. The X-wing appears eight times in the Micro Machines Action Fleet toy line: Luke's starfighter on its own, with "targeter" stand, with Dagobah swamp damage, and in a double pack with a TIE Fighter, Wedge's starfighter on its own, and as a component of the Yavin Rebel Base playset, a toy based on the prototype packaged with Biggs Darklighter's starfighter, and Jek Porkins' starfighter. Lego also released several X-wing models, including a 76-piece X-wing/TIE advanced kit, a 263-piece X-wing, and a 1,304-piece "Ultimate Collector's" model.
X-wings also appear in numerous Star Wars games and Expanded Universe stories. The player pilots an X-wing in the Atari Star Wars game. It is also a playable ship in LucasArts' X-Wing, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter, X-Wing Alliance, Rogue Squadron, Battlefront II, and Lego Star Wars II. Both the Rebel Assault and Rebel Assault II rail shooters include X-wing levels, and X-wings are controllable units in the Rebellion and Empire at War strategy games. Decipher and Wizards of the Coast published X-wing and X-wing-related cards for the Star Wars Customizable Card Game and Star Wars Trading Card Game, respectively. Michael A. Stackpole and Aaron Allston wrote the X-wing novel series that focuses on the X-wing pilots of Rogue Squadron and Wraith Squadron, the former expanding the story of pilots like Wedge Antilles who appear in the films. Dark Horse comics has also published an X-Wing Rogue Squadron series.

Nope, not at all. My issue is to do with your reaction even if this is true. 50 children paralyzed. And how many has he helped save over the years?
Exactly...but hey, it makes sense to dismiss all the good Gates and his foundation has done over this tho........ /s
I understand this is a concern and needs to be addressed, but I will wait for statements from Gates foundation before going on a rant.

Does your spouse ever get on your nerves? Can you tell when you get on theirs? Is it possible to preserve a loving and open relationship between caregivers and their charges with Parkinson Disease, considering the difficulties involved in dealing day-to-day with a slowly-progressive disease? In doing research for the book "Notes from Movers & Shakers With Parkinson", we observed that while there was helpful information available focused on physical and logistical problems, there was little discussion in Parkinson Disease (PD) forums about the effect that changing roles has on the relationship between spouse and patient, from their own perspectives.
Those caregivers (who represent a clear majority) who are partners with the PDers in their care will see their relationships change. This should be no surprise, since the change in roles is often dramatic. The result is often very difficult to cope with. How can we keep communications open and stress levels manageable?
I was diagnosed with PD more than 10 years ago. My first reaction was to get home to my husband, Dale. We began dating in college and our relationship had endured over the years, and it was natural to turn to him first with this life-changing news. Although we were frightened by the prospect of what a future with Parkinson would mean, we tried to be optimistic. And, after some trial and error, medication seemed to control most of the symptoms. We talked about our fears, our priorities, and made some plans, including a short "bucket list". Since I was not able to function at the high levels of stress that were part and parcel of my job in a major financial institution, I left the corporate world and worked on special projects, mostly editing, including my husband's books – he's an author.
Physical changes occurred slowly; I fell a couple of times while jogging, slipped on the ice and broke my nose; I realized that I had lost depth perception. This made navigating stairs, curbs, etc., very tricky. My husband became a human GPS, as we walked along –"Watch the curb on the right", "There's a step-down right here", "Hold on to the railing". He continued to be helpful around the house.
Two other pertinent factors to consider: I participate in a rigorous exercise program, which I believe has been instrumental in slowing the progress of the disease. And, I am taking medication that can influence behavior. It's important to remember that Parkinson's is described in some places, as a movement and behavior disorder. Although I do not exhibit blatantly compulsive behavior, I notice that there are some activities that I cannot leave until completed. I joke about having "OCD" (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). And I am much more easily distracted; periodically I seem to have lost the single-mindedness of purpose that I used to have.
All of this brings us to the effect PD is having on my relationship with my spouse/caregiver. As Dale began to understand where the shortcomings were in my daily routine, i.e., difficulty getting most things done on time, moving from one project to another without completing either… he developed ways to keep me on time. (Reminders an hour and half-hour before we're to depart, staying "on my case" when he sees me leave the laundry without filling the washing machine to do something else). At first I took umbrage at his "telling me what to do" and acting like a parent. And he took umbrage at my "not taking his help and continuing to be disorganized, late, etc." We were both angry at each other's stubborn stance. Each of us saw the other as insensitive and unappreciative. Once anger set in, there was a real potential for a downward spiral.
That famous line from the movie "Hud", "What we got here is a failure to communicate", is at the base of this problem. We needed to sit and talk and realize that each of us needed to know that the other was in fact doing his or her best to resolve issues, and that they were not trying to exert control over the other. And, it may be difficult to understand that what seems like an easy thing to do, like "pay attention", takes much more effort and concentration than it used to. And, that we might have to adjust our behavior, and to give up some of that "control" in order to enhance the day-to-day functionality of our lives.
As Dale pointed out, there is also a real need for both of us to "let go" of some things. It may not be appropriate for us to try to be in charge of all that was in our span of control. It may be time to reprioritize, or to stop doing certain things! And closely related to "letting go", is accepting what is the new reality. The only way that we can move forward with a fresh outlook, is to assess these issues and determine what we can let go of, and what our new reality is.
We are determined to continue to communicate with each other about these sensitivities. I am convinced that if we can stay in touch with each other's feelings and needs, not only will it help our daily lives, it will enable us to stay as healthy and as happy as we possibly can. We'll be able to get past coping, and move forward to enjoy life.
Chris Ludwig, worked in a variety of capacities, before writing "Notes from Movers & Shakers with Parkinson"; she was a tax-preparer, a TV "Weather Girl", and before retirement, a Vice President of technology for a major financial institution. She was diagnosed with PD more than 10 years ago. She's an avid exercise practitioner, a novice tap-dancer, and believes strongly that "Exercise is medicine!" Chris now lives and shakes in Florida and Cape Cod with her husband Dale, where she continues to appreciate every day with joy and enthusiasm.
