Has The Bubble Already Burst On Healthcare Reform?
Healthcare Insurers Raise Some Rates by Double Digits
For those who were adamant that Obamacare would not lead to increased healthcare costs, I hate to burst your bubble. The New York Times recently reported that healthcare insurance companies throughout the US are pursuing rate increases and are becoming successful at winning them. In some cases, consumers are seeing double-digit increases for their premiums.
The Boston Globe reported that in California, Aetna is proposing rate increases of as much as 22 percent, Anthem Blue Cross 26 percent and Blue Shield of California 20 percent for some of those policyholders, according to the insurers' filings with the state for 2013. These rate requests are all the more striking after a 39 percent rise sought by Anthem Blue Cross in 2010 helped give impetus to the law, known as the Affordable Care Act, which was passed the same year and will not be fully in effect until 2014.
Other states such as Florida and Ohio have raised their rates by at least 20%. These actions will certainly cause a trickle-down effect that will increase the challenges for healthcare providers.
There is more transparency and scrutiny on insurance companies as insurance regulators are now required to review requests for a rate increase of 10 percent or more. The requests are posted on a federal Web site, healthcare.gov, along with regulators' evaluations. Even with watchdogs keeping an eye on the insurance companies, costs are skyrocketing. Apparently, payers have found a gaping loophole in the Affordable Care Act.
It's ironic that one objective of Obamacare is to stem the rise of insurance costs for consumers. It appears that just the opposite is happening. How will this trend affect providers? Higher rates for small businesses and consumers who do not have employer-provided insurance will drive patients to choose less expensive, higher deductible policies, which will lead to higher patient pay balances needing to be collected.
Revenue cycle leaders will continue to grapple with the growth in high premium driven self-pay accounts as well as fighting tooth and nail to collect reimbursement monies from payers. The financial noose keeps getting tighter for hospitals and health systems. Not only do providers have to battle insurance companies and their patients to pay, they have added pressure to collect other reimbursements provided by Medicare and Medicaid. The reimbursement process is so complex that many providers resort to hiring experts to prepare their bad debt logs and DSH reporting. It costs billions of dollars annually for providers to collect monies already due to them.
In 2013, it's apparent that providers must continue to find more ways to collect revenue to stem the tide, protecting them against rising operating costs and reduced reimbursements. In order to keep pace with rising costs, healthcare financial leaders are more open to investing in new technologies for revenue capture and operational efficiency than ever before.
I am hopeful that some of the cost saving strategies of Obamacare comes to fruition to balance the rising costs of healthcare. If that doesn't happen, we will end up in a deeper hole than when we started healthcare reform.

A sealed insulating glass unit is the basis for a good window.
In the final instalment of a two-part series, this week Tony Trobe talks again to Dr Peter Lyons, a building physicist based in Canberra. Dr Lyons specialises in energy performance modelling of fenestration systems and buildings, both residential and commercial. One of his continuing research interests involves the impact of glazing on human comfort in buildings.
TT: Last week I talked to Peter Lyons about residential windows, energy efficiency and thermal comfort. This week we look in a bit more detail at today's windows. Peter, what window materials and technologies allow the high thermal performance we talked about last week?
PL: First, the glass. A sealed, insulating glass unit (IGU) is the basis of a good window. Either double or sometimes triple-glazed, an IGU permits best use of low-emissivity coatings (thin film coatings on the glass you can barely see but which assist the glass to insulate) and also argon gas filling in the gap, instead of just dry air. Low-E coatings are literally "heat mirrors" which reflect heat back into the house and make the window more insulating. Different low-E coatings are available.
Generally in Canberra it is best to use the kind that transmits most solar radiation - for passive solar applications. However there are also coatings that transmit little radiant heat - for that large west-facing window. Second, the frame: look for an insulating frame, such as thermally broken aluminium, timber or uPVC. Composite frames are also available that combine several of these materials. Good glass needs a good frame; in the same way you wouldn't build a Ferrari and then fit it with cross-ply tyres and drum brakes.
TT: What about thermal comfort? How does it relate to energy efficiency and window materials?
PL: The simple aim is to get the inside window temperature as close as possible to desired room temperature. This means the glass is as warm as possible in winter and as cool as possible in summer. The closer you sit to the window, the more this matters. Fortunately the same technologies that reduce unwanted heat loss or heat gain will also improve the glass temperature, and in the right direction.
TT: Should I use single or double glazing on the north side of my house?
PL: On a sunny day, north-facing windows are valuable since they are your solar collectors which give free heat in winter. But at night they lose a lot of heat compared with an insulated wall. On overcast, cold days the heat loss is nearly as bad. If your budget permits, you are definitely better off with double rather than single glazing, even on the north side, provided its solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) is high. This is because even though the solar heat gained through double glazing is a little less than through single, the heat losses on a cold day or at night are greatly reduced. On a seasonal basis, in net terms, you will be way ahead with double compared with single glass. In addition, thermal comfort is better with double glazing because it is warmer. Finally, for the same reason, condensation is less likely.
TT: Where is more information available?
PL: Check out www.wers.net, which is a website of the Australian Window Association. Based on independently audited calculations, it lists thousands of energy-rated windows and includes their U-values, SHGCs and star ratings for both winter and summer performance.
Tony Trobe is a Canberra-based architect.

I beg to differ.
Young is the best fighter out of those in my opinion. I don't see Shavers getting past Walcott (if Walcott comes out like he did against Marciano, he may well knock him out in the 1st), Charles would beat Shavers, Witherspoon would beat Shavers, Cobb (a Holmes opponent) in fact DID beat Shavers and needless to say, Cobb is one of Holmes' worst opponents, so go figure.
Lyle was very limited and it appears to me he gets hyped up a lot because he's on Ali's resume. Sorry but i don't see all that big punching ability that people make him out to have. He knocked out Shavers (who was knocked out even by journeymen several times) and that's it. He went the distance in almost every other big fight. Losing the decision, i might add. He certainly wouldn't get past smart and cagey veterans like Walcott, Charles, Moore or a Witherspoon, etc. He gets called a huge puncher to save Foreman's chin from looking bad, but mind you he was also floored by Young and Ali who didn't carry a big punch either.
Young and Quarry are better and they might beat some, but certainly would lose quite some fights, like they did in reality.
To sum it up, Quarry, Young, Shavers and Lyle as a group have lost fights to: each other, Lynn Ball, Gerry ****ey, Ossie Ocasio, Ken Norton, Bob Stallings, Bernardo Mercado, Randall Cobb, Eddie Machen, Jimmy Ellis and George Chuvalo.
These are hardly entities that made the era as great as you think it is. In fact, while most of those fighters were good contenders, they were nothing special. Fighters like that were around in every era and they would've always caused the listed fighters trouble, hence i see no reason to assume they would've been champions in any other era. It's not like Ali and Frazier were in their primes from 72 on, but they still beat them every time.
The key word here is could beat. I did not say would beat for sure. Yes, Shavers could KO Walcott or Charles. Yes Jimmy Young could out box anyone Johnson beat. Yes Quarry could beat anyone Dempsey beat. Yes Lyle could KO Schmeling or UD Baer.
If you want to tally up the W's and L's of Ali's tier two opponents, then compare them the W's and L's of the fighters Johnson, Dempsey, Louis, and Marciano beat, I think Ali's opponents will look a bit better.
Yes Quarry, Young, Shavers and Lyle as a group have lost fights to: each other, Lynn Ball, Gerry ****ey, Ossie Ocasio, Ken Norton, Bob Stallings, Bernardo Mercado, Randall Cobb, Eddie Machen, Jimmy Ellis and George Chuvalo. However Walcott and Chalres by themselves lost a lot and in some cases to lesser men than the above names. The same can be said for Louis or Dempsey opponents.
There have been quite a few weak lineal champions. Hart, Braddock, Spinks, Rhaman, ect..... For sure Quarry, Lyle, Shavers, and Young were just as good, if not better.

Marathon bombing survivor wants others remembered
Costello was upset that he and Tsarnaev were part of the same community.
"They were enjoying the same things you were and then they do something like this," Costello said.
On Friday, he spent part of his last day of in-patient treatment at Spaulding dribbling and passing a basketball with physical therapist Lisa Pratt to work on improving his balance and strengthening his muscles.
"It's been continual progress, working every day," she said of his rehab.
Costello said he and fellow bombing survivor Paul Norden, one of his friends who lost a leg, have played basketball together since middle school when they met at a boys' club in Stoneham, Mass. The two had planned to play in a pickup game together the week that the attack happened. Paul's brother J.P. Norden, another friend of Costello's, also lost a leg.
And while Costello doesn't bring up his own fundraising site, he tries to draw attention to another site that is raising money for the Nordens He also holds out hope that he and Paul will be back on the basketball court together in the future.
"Maybe we'll eventually be able to play," Costello said. "But it's never going to be the same."

nerds and dorks welcome
Talking about myself is the hardest part of this profile. I'm pretty sure there aren't any people who can be summed up in 4000 characters, and even less people who would want to read it, but anyway, here it goes. I'm a laid back guy. I usually relax and take it easy after work, maybe play a video game, or watch a movie, nothing too big. On the weekends I usually try to do something fun. Whether its spending time with friends and family, or going to a sports bar to watch the bears. Or just following any other ideas I have. I especially enjoy spending time with my nephew who has more energy than I would ever know what to do with, but I still try to keep up with him. I'm perfectly happy with having a quiet weekend as well. I like to think I have a good sense of humor (I'm pretty sure everyone does), and I don't mind laughing at myself as along as the joke isn't mean spirited. I'm also very empathetic, and I'm usually happiest when the people around me are happy. I can be a bit of a nerd, its not rare to find me watching the science channel, or the history channel. I'm not really following any series right now, but I enjoy the Big Bang Theory and the Colbert Report. I like most action movies as well. I Enjoy a good conversation or even a good debate as long as it's in good spirit. I also enjoy listening to other peoples stories, I find that everyone has a few really good ones, and probably a few really bad ones, but they're always entertaining. So what kind of woman am I looking for, you might ask? Great question, I'm really glad you asked!.. To be honest I don't really have an answer to that question, because there are so many different types of amazing people out there, and I think trying to narrow it down to a single description wouldn't do it any justice, but it's pretty simple for me. If you have a good heart, can hold your own in a conversation, and are willing to give as much as you receive I'm pretty sure we'll get along. Although having an interest in the sciences, or any of the things I listed above gets you bonus points (and yes I work on a point system, but don't ask how it works, cause I don't know... and asking costs 2 points! )
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports , Wine tasting

Middle of the Road
I wouldn't say I have a "hot spot", but I like going to the movie theater or any place with live entertainment and good food.
pizza, sunny days, internet, comedy, family and friends.
Some days when I dont feel like going out I'll watch tv, listen to music, or find something to do on the computer. Other days I'll hang out with my friends or family. I'm always looking for fun things to do.
I like to read articles on the internet and magazines. I have to read a lot for work, so in my spare time I try to find other things to do.

As you know Poser is great and horrible at the same time, giving its users a constant headace. During the years some wonderful features has been added such as the firefly renderer and IDL, but the core software is still stuck at the same level as it was in 1999 when i first used it: Mesh only! Not a single nurbs or subdivided surface. Still the same rigging system, etc, etc…
I have eagerly followed the development of DAZ Studio hoping that Studio will evolve past these limitations and implement more up-to-date industry standards such as subD, nurbs, weight-mapping. What has happened with Studio is amazing in my opinion. There are still many things missing from my wish-list but unlike Poser there IS development going on here. The Poser core hasn't been updated for ages. I have come to a point where i realize that it's probably time to switch from Poser to Studio. Studio can without doubt do most of what i need just as good as Poser can. but i have a few questions that i hope you experienced Studio users can help me with:
Key frame editor:
I mostly do comic-like stories. In my work-flow in Poser i use animation key-frames to set up a series of stills to allow me to manipulate the story telling, adjust camera positions with respect to speech bubbles, copy poses, insert stills, etc. Note that i never do animations! I just use the key-frame tools. The key-frame editor in Poser is actually quite good. Is there a corresponding tool in Studio? I haven't found one in standard Studio installation that suits my needs. Working with different scene files for every still is not an option… :o/
Over the years I have built up a huge collection of shaders. I was told that there is no simple way to convert shaders from Poser to Studio but: How big are the differences? Can i convert my, say bagginsbill BBGlossy based shaders, to Studio format manually by translating brick by brick or are the differences to big? What can be found (preferably free or cheap) that can help me recreate a shader library for Studio.
I use Rhino as a modeler since it is so wonderfully intuitive and fast (at least for me ;o). A big dream is to be able to import objects directly in NURBS format into Poser or Studio. Are there any plans for NURBS support in Studio? At least for simple non-rigged objects.
Render times:
How fast is 3Dlight compared to Firefly? I have learned to optimize Firefly for my needs and i can get the visual style i want with decent render times. I use IDL with HDRI sky domes, SSS skin shaders, frequent use of displacement maps. I also often use shaders a bit more complicated than simple diffuse textures, eg fresnel based shaders such as BBGlossy.
Cloth simulation:
Poser cloth simulation is completely unable to simulate anything but very simple setups. How useful is Studios cloth simulation in practice?
Switching platform will be a huge step for me that will slow me down a lot for a time. I know that Studio is the future and that i have to switch sooner or later. What do you think? Should i switch now?

Why would I want to post other peoples articles when I have so much content already – my product descriptions, sale pages and reviews? These are the key pages that I want indexed high in the search engines too.
First off, you need to stand out from your competitors, and having some interesting, relevant content besides your product information can make your site more engaging for your customers. In addition, content that is not just about your products can help you establish some authority in your product niche. Not only do your customers see that you are keeping up with the relevant news, trends and ideas. The search engines also like to see this broader content
This is called Content Marketing, and it is becoming the key focus of marketing for Ecommerce businesses big and small. Content curation is a key part of this effort, and focuses on finding articles and information related to your business that provide value to your clients.
Why Content Marketing?
While you can write about your products and services, how they can help your customers and discuss use cases and tips, you also need to come up with content that is not just about you or your products. This content could include news about your industry, design trends in your product niche, news and ideas about items related to your products, maybe new technology that may impact your products in the future. This has several advantages.
- You build authority by discussing and reviewing overall trends in your industry or niche.
- You are providing new content that your customers value, and they'll come back to your site to read it.
- Search engines see a wider range of content and keywords that makes your site look deeper and authoritative
- Search engines see regular, new content showing up on your site, and they love active sites.
Content Curation
Finding this related content is what Content Curation is all about. There are people already writing about your products or niche, many of them great writers with a large following. Finding the best of these sources and articles and bringing them to your site for your clients is the focus of content curation. Some examples of how your Ecommerce site might use curation include:
Recommended for YouWebcast: Relationship Marketing: How to Build a Relationship that Converts to Sales
- Create a blog on your site that highlights trends and ideas related to your products.
- Build a News menu item with timely articles related to your niche.
- Get your curated content out on your social networks adding more diversity to your posts
- Curated content can be a great addition to your email newsletters and announcements.
To make this effective, you need to add your comments and opinions about the articles and news you post – and always provide an attribution link to the original article. Start with a paragraph about why you think this is valuable for your clients. As you get in a routine, you can start to expand your writing. Maybe you write a longer discussion of how this trend will affect new product design or releases in the future. You could also post quotes from several articles and discuss the difference between their viewpoints.
The more you personalize and write your own discussions, the more effective content curation will become for your site. It is your voice that not only builds authority and engagement with your clients and prospects, it is what also creates 'valuable' content in the eyes of the search engines.
Curation Tools make Content Curation Easier
To help make this more efficient, or speed it up, it helps to have some curation tools. Sites such as Scoop.it or Storify can help you organize your curation. They make it easy to get started as well as plug you into a network of other curators. If you want to focus your curation and later creation efforts on your blog or marketing site, you might use a tool such as the MyCurator content curation software for WordPress. These tools can help bring an efficient, repeatable process to your curation efforts.
Of course, it will now be up to you to start writing a short discussion of why you think this article or post is important – no tool will make that easier! Start small though, and focus on getting an article curated once or twice a week. After a few weeks, you can start expanding your writing and discussion.
With a content curation tool, and regular curation, you will find yourself expanding from simple curation to more complex discussions and opinions. After that, its not a long step to creating your own post.
Curated Resources for Further Learning
Most important to an Ecommerce site is building your search rankings. This article by Pawan Deshpande in Forbes lays out the key elements of why content curation can build SEO value.
The battle for top billing on the search results page is fierce – and sites with fresh, relevant content are the ones that come out on top. Sounds like an easy formula, but maintaining SEO performance is often easier said than done. As any marketer will tell you, continuously creating, publishing and promoting original content is no small task. That is why many are turning to content curation tools that help find, organize and share content online to ensure that their site is constantly delivering updated, highly topical, keyword-rich content – making it a natural winner in the battle of Search Engine Optimization.
View Original at www.forbes.com
To get the basics of content curation, the first post to read is the most referenced discussion of content curation by Beth Kanter –
Content curation is the process of sorting through the vast amounts of content on the web and presenting it in a meaningful and organized way around a specific theme. The work involves sifting, sorting, arranging, and publishing information. A content curator cherry picks the best content that is important and relevant to share with their community. It isn't unlike what a museum curator does to produce an exhibition: They identify the theme, they provide the context, they decide which paintings to hang on the wall, how they should be annotated, and how they should be displayed for the public.
View Original at www.bethkanter.org
This article provides a wide list of ideas for content curation, pick and choose those that resonate with you.
Curation is not an opt-out or quick fix. It happens over time. When a brand does a good job of defining what it stands for, demonstrating a commitment to an editorial calendar that remains on-topic will play a powerful part in building consumer trust online. Of course it cannot exist in isolation, being active in relevant social networks, industry events and of course originating your own content play a part. Curation can play the central role in creating awareness and credibility when it's well integrated. It could be that as much as 80% of your content can be curated too, it'd depend on your marketing objectives and strategy.

A colleague and I are doing a drupal mapping day next Tuesday, all day long 4AM-5PM EST, where we are tackling the following:
I am developing a media portal on Drupal and I'm looking for an API where I can graphically select an area on a map that comprises various regions (provinces / states) and the app will return a list of all regions (provinces / states), cities and towns in that specific area.

Openlayers behaviors? custom layer Switcher with opacity slider
I'm asking myself for a long time if it is possible to implement a custom layer switcher using custom behaviors with Drupal?
What I would like to do is a layer ordering with opacity slider.
There's an example here: http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/jvanulden/openlayers/examples/extended...
For the opacity slider, it would be better to have a JQuery slider.
Is it possible?
Does someone can share his experience regarding this?
Is there a working example somewhere?
Thank you
Store locator with proximity
I need to make store locator with proximity radius search.
From available solutions have tried:
Google store locator (https://www.drupal.org/node/2384905)
Openlayers + geojson + geofield proximity exposed (https://www.drupal.org/node/2384661)
For now, Google store locator don't uses proximity filter or bbox argument, so this option is out.
Other option with openlayers, problem is that openlayers + geojson isn't working at all, and geofield exposed filter is returning search results, but location of search is not centered after search is conducted.Read more
Search api Location integration with the Geocoder autocomplete
I would like to use the Search api location module with the Geocoder autocomplete so as to be suggested addresses whey typing.It would be better to be client-side geocoding.Does anyone know how to do this?
Track (linestring) as point on map
I have a number of tracks (linstrings) that I would like to display on a map as points.
The perfect solution would be to have Leaflet and Leaflet MarkerCluster configured so that as the user zooms out the the tracks change to point markers and then cluster as on www.mtbproject.com.Read more
Working on OpenLayers 3.x
Hi all,
After a couple of quiet months, I would like to start working actively again with OpenLayers.
My goals are:
- Provide a new release with brand new basecode
- Use the OpenLayers library version 3.1.1
- Maintain the module OpenLayers 2.x minimally
Things to be done in OL 3.x
Spatial Joins in Views - GeoJoin
I am devloping a module to provide spatial Relationships in the Views UI. The current version of my sandbox module does this for GeoField, and provides a single relationship, the bounding box overlap.
I am looking for review and comment on the timeline and preliminary code, and collaborators if not co-maintainers.
Leaflet Widget Point
Hey I recently created a module for creating a leaflet geofield input that just captures a single point.
I needed it for a mobile app and something in leaflet Draw was breaking on mobile so I basically just took the Leaflet Widget module and removed all the draw stuff and added a crosshairs over the map then the center point of the map is captured when the form is submitted.
I'm wondering if this is worth sharing as another module?
Attaching a screenshot of what the input looks like.

Batman Forever (video game)
- For the arcade, PlayStation, PC and Sega Saturn game, see Batman Forever: The Arcade Game
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2014)
|Batman Forever
|Probe Entertainment
Acclaim Japan
|Acclaim, Tectoy
|Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment
DC Comics
|Mortal Kombat
|Super NES, Sega Genesis, Sega Game Gear, Game Boy, PC
|Release date(s)

|Beat 'em up
Two player co-op
(Game Boy/Game Gear)
Batman Forever is a beat 'em up video game based on the movie of the same name. Though released by the same publisher at roughly the same time, it is an entirely different game from Batman Forever: The Arcade Game.
The Super NES and Genesis/Mega Drive versions were developed by Probe Entertainment and published by Acclaim Entertainment. The Sega Game Gear, Game Boy and PC versions were developed by Probe Entertainment.
The player plays as either Batman or Robin. There is also a fighting game mode called "training mode" where the player can play as Batman, Robin, or any of the enemies found throughout the game against either a computer-controlled opponent, against a second player, or cooperatively against two computer opponents.
The controls are largely based on move lists and key sequences. Some gadget moves involve moving away from the enemy right before pressing a punch or kick button.
The gadget list is selected by the player each level, with three standard gadgets for each character and two gadgets selected from a list. There are also four hidden "blueprint" gadgets.
There are two kinds of Co-op modes in Batman Forever. Players chose between Batman or Robin. In one mode, Batman and Robin work together and cannot harm each other, although they share credits. In another mode, however, Batman and Robin can attack each other, but still need to look out for enemies and have separate credit counts. The co-op mode is not included in the Game Boy and Game Gear versions.
Version differences[edit]
The Super NES and Genesis/Mega Drive versions of the game are very similar. The PC version is the same as the SNES and Genesis versions, but has superior graphics, and Batman and Robin appear in their movie attire; it also has loading delays. The Game Boy and Game Gear versions do away with a majority of the puzzle-solving of the SNES, PC and Genesis versions and opt for a more traditional platform fighting game.
The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly praised the Game Gear version as having graphics that are virtually identical to those of the Genesis and Super Nintendo version, but overall dismissed the game due to poor controls, explaining that "Punching enemies is nothing more than a delayed sequence that continues well after the enemy is dead." They gave it a 6.25 out of 10.[1] GamePro also gave it a negative review. They remarked that the graphics are technically impressive but dull due to their lack of onscreen objects and interesting backgrounds, and concluded that "the sluggish gameplay, mediocre graphics, and weak sounds really kick this cart to the bat curb."[2]

These paparazzi pics crack me up. It's always some guy with a Nikon just snapping pic after pic in rapid succession, so that you can practically piece them back together and make a little movie out of some celebrity pumping gas or browsing store fronts, as Zoe Saldana was doing in Beverly Hills the other day.
I like Zoe. She's got that cute little pixie-like frame, giving one the impression that she could suddenly sprout wings and fly away at any time. She's also a genuinely cool person. Every interview I have seen with her she comes across as a down-to-earth and approachable girl. None of that diva crap from her. Plus her geek cred is high, thanks to her starring roles in Avatar and Star Trek, both of which have sequels in the works, ensuring that we'll get to see more of her lace-bra space jockey and alien jungle cat person alter egos in the future.

Scope of Service
The department provides pharmaceutical care services to patients of all ages while they are receiving treatment at Lompoc Hospital. A lesser, but not unimportant, function of the department is to provide consultative services to the Convalescent Care Center.
The purpose of pharmaceutical care is to improve patient outcomes while optimizing resource utilization. To this end, Pharmacy Services has two overarching foci - clinical services and pharmacy operations. For clinical services, pharmacists apply pharmaceutical care principles to patient care by serving as an expert resource for physicians, nurses and other allied health professionals.
Additionally, pharmacists monitor the efficacy of current pharmacotherapy by assessing patient response and reviewing laboratory results.
Operationally, the department's primary goal is the safe, accurate and timely delivery of pharmaceutical products to the patient by optimizing the systems, processes and logistics of departmental function.
Staffing in the pharmacy is available from 0630 to 1700 on weekdays and from 0730 to 1500 on weekends and major holidays. During off-hours, medications ordered are provided by the House Supervisor. If further assistance is needed, the Pharmacy Director is contacted.

Your Letters: Jan. 2
Potential death knell
One American's thoughts as she reads the first sentence of the Copenhagen treaty: We're the U.S. and we are guilty. Third World countries, on the other hand, are worthy.
Third-Worlders will win, no matter what. They don't sign on the dotted line. The U.S. may give them billions yearly to help them benefit from our immense guilt. But, after all, we have reaped massive rewards from our hard work and ingenuity. Fines and taxes will be imposed on us based on our potential global impact. Why? Because we continually innovate. Third World countries have remained in the 19th century and will have no restrictions or financial requirements.
We can help create "green jobs." That has become the buzzword for global-warming warriors. They will save the U.S. Oh, wait, jobs create activity and activity creates the need for energy. Energy taxes will be imposed, if we sign on the dotted line. Extra business expenses will make it cheaper to give these jobs to faraway countries.
The win-win from Copenhagen? Third World countries get billions in donations from those who sign. We will pay energy and usage taxes, they won't. They will get the jobs. They will never, ever have to sign this agreement.
The Copenhagen Treaty is the potential death knell of the U.S.

Survival of the unfit
Man is the only species on Earth that no longer benefits from the evolutionary process of survival of the fittest. Over the ages, the theory goes, man rose out of the jungle to become a sophisticated mental giant because those individuals who excelled in practical matters also produced the most offspring.
After the Great Depression, in various centers around the world, society began to pander to the less fit, the less successful in our midst. If, in fact, you weren't very successful, but produced more babies than you could support, you could appeal to society to support you and your babies.
Often, as they matured, these babies adopted this procedure, learned from parents, as a way of life. Definition of success was changing. Independence and productivity were being devalued.
Society began to encumber the truly successful with supporting the unsuccessful in their lifestyle, through taxation. We have now fewer and fewer of the successful supporting more and more of the idle. Is it any wonder the world of humans is in trouble? Are we headed back toward the jungle?
