Medicare and Chronic Disease Management: Integrated Care as an Exceptional Circumstance?
Taylor, Michael J., Swerissen, Hal, Australian Health Review
Chronic disease represents a significant challenge to the design and reform of the Australian healthcare system. The Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) provides a framework of numerous chronic disease management programs; however, their use at the patient level is complex. This analysis of the MBS chronic disease framework uses a hypothetical ease study of a diabetic patient (with disease-related complications and a complex psychosocial background) to illustrate the difficulties in delivering appropriate multidisciplinary chronic disease care under the MBS. The complexities at each step - from care planning, service provision, and monitoring and review - are described, as are the intricacies involved in providing patient care under different MBS programs as well as those in the broader health and community care system. As demonstrated by this case study, under certain circumstances the provision of truly integrated care to this hypothetical patient would constitute an 'exceptional circumstance' under the MBS. Although quality improvement efforts can improve functioning within the limitations of the current system, system-wide reforms are necessary to overcome complexity and fragmentation.
What is known about the topic? Chronic disease management requires optimal health system design to provide appropriate patient care. In Australia, the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) provides chronic disease-focussed programs, but the multitude of available programs and items are administratively complex, overlapping and subject to claiming incompatibilities.
What does this paper add? This paper illustrates the complexity of the various MBS programs for chronic disease management using a case study of the potential service response to a single diabetic patient with disease-related complications and a complex psychosocial background. This analysis illustrates the manifold problematic interactions and incompatibilities that may arise in relation to this hypothetical patient.
What are the implications for practitioners? Under the current MBS framework, providing patients with optimum chronic disease management requires both clinical and administrative skill on the part of GPs. Time spent on administrative requirements is time away from clinical care. Although quality improvement efforts may improve functioning within the existing system to a certain extent, broader system reforms are necessary to support optimal chronic disease management in Australia.
Chronic disease represents a significant long-term challenge for the Australian healthcare system in terms of the number of people affected (or at risk) and the morbidity, mortality and health system expenditure associated with these diseases. Current health system reform efforts are focussed on improving governance and funding of the health system to meet this challenge.2 These refonn proposals are underpinned by a strengthened primary healthcare system in Australia. As such, the structure of current chronic disease management programs in primary care - particularly those offered under Medicare - requires examination in order to inform the reform process.
This analysis will consider the current Medicare Benefit Schedule (MBS) framework for GP (General Practitioner) chronic disease management (Table 1 ), and its integration with other aspects of the health and community care system in line with the Chronic Care Model (CCM). The CCM is an internationally recognised framework for improved chronic disease management.3 A hypothetical patient scenario will be used to examine the MBS service response to chronic disease. Although this represents a single case study approach to a complex system, the scenario is one that the system should be able to respond to in a straightforward manner. The MBS service response to this hypothetical patient will be considered according to the various stages of patient care: (a) assessment and care planning; (b) interventions and ongoing management; and (c) monitoring, reporting and review. …

e care less about what's going on in the world and more about what someone's wearing on the red carpet and other superficial undercurrents of pop culture.
We tracked down 10 of the most memorable -- crazy good and crazy bad -- moments from this year's celebrity weddings.
Kim Kardashian, Senator Dianne Feinstein, and Olivia Benson, fresh from her latest SVU, and Valerie Woods were sitting around my table the other night...
Naked women are, it seems, everywhere one turns -- so ubiquitous that the sight of them barely registers shock. But when's the last time you saw a naked man on the Internet, on a show, in a magazine?
Is it a bit scary that only one in three Americans can name a single Supreme Court justice, but two-thirds can effortlessly name a judge on the TV show American Idol? Is it downright terrifying that more Americans can name all of the Three Stooges than the three branches of the Federal government?
I realized that, as women, our first instinct is to personalize the best qualities of another female upon ourselves; we "wish" we had the lips of Angelina Jolie and the eyes of Megan Fox. This, in turn, leads us to neglect the beauty we already possess.
2014 was full of Hollywood stars behaving oddly (See Shia LaBeouf and Amanda Bynes) and loads of fake viral videos. But this year saw fabrication with dead-serious ripple effects as well. Here are the prevaricators who rose to the top of the LieSpotting list this year:
James Lee Stanley: "Twinkle In Your Eye" is my take on Alzheimer's and on love and loyalty. It's like a three-minute version of The Notebook.
It is natural and empowering to claim your space in the world, but if you are ready to do more and live a legacy-worthy life of impact, here are five steps that you can take today:
Nuns deserve recognition for the things they have accomplished. They are on the front-lines of social justice every single day. They are brilliant women with PhDs who have run colleges and hospitals. This show is only going to serve to drag their vocation through the mud.
Now, for those of you grew up in Utopia and have childhood memories full of magical unicorns farting out rainbows -- more power to you. But for those who venture home to the land that social change and civil liberties forgot, these tips are for you.
op culture has reduced feminism to a fight for body politics and sexual liberation only. It makes us forget about equal employment opportunities, equal access to medical health protection and benefits, sharing parenting responsibilities, and sexual assault and abuse prevention.
Within a span of a week, more than a dozen women died in India after undergoing a sterilization operation, an image of American celebrity Kim Kardashian's exposed buttocks on the cover of Paper magazine went viral, and the European Space Agency's Rosetta mission successfully landed on the surface of a comet.
Celebrities are not here to raise your children or be their role models. You are. While celebrities can be charged with this responsibility because of their powerful influence, the fact of the matter is that their purpose in society is to provide good entertainment.
Would it be bigamy to marry the ass of a woman who is already married to someone else? This question is raised by the recent picture of Kim Kardashian's fundament that appeared on the cover of Paper.
From Kim Kardashian in Paper to Olivia Wilde breastfeeding in Glamour , people love to freak out over what women do with their bodies, how they dress them, how they share them, how many children they do or don't have with them and how they enjoy them.

Structural Pluralism, Corporate Newspaper Structure, and News Source Perceptions: Another Test of the Editorial Vigor Hypothesis
Demers, David K., Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly
A recent content analysis of newspaper editorials and letters to the editor disputes the conventional wisdom that newspapers become less vigorous editorially as they acquire the characteristics of the corporate form of organization. However, many scholars remain skeptical. This study tested the editorial vigor hypothesis using an alternative methodology: a national probability survey of mainstream news sources (mayors and police chiefs). The data provide partial support for the corporate structure theory - the more structurally complex the newspaper, the more news sources perceived that paper as being critical of them and their institutions. Drawing on previous research and these findings, the author argues corporate newspapers are more critical because they are more likely to be located in pluralistic communities, which contain more social conflict and criticism of dominant groups and value systems, and because they are more insulated from local political pressures. From a broader perspective, the results may be interpreted as supporting theories which hold that the pace of social change quickens as social systems become more structurally pluralistic.
The notion that messages in mainstream news media generally support the goals of established elites and dominant value systems, often to the detriment of challenging groups, is one of the most strongly supported propositions in the literature on media effects.1 However, the question of whether such support increases or decreases with changes in the structure of social systems and news organizations themselves has yet to be resolved. Many researchers, especially neo-Marxist theorists, believe the growth of large-scale corporate media organizations is producing a less vigorous press - i.e., one that is less likely to criticize established authorities and ideas.2
Although some research suggests that newspapers are more profitable as they grow and become more structurally complex,3 several recent empirical studies have challenged criticisms that corporate newspapers are less vigorous editorially or place more emphasis on profits as an organizational goal and less on product quality.4 One implication of these findings is that corporate newspapers may have a greater, not lesser, capacity to promote social change, even if they, like all mainstream media, provide broad-based support for established authorities and dominant value systems.
Nevertheless, many scholars and professionals remain skeptical. They question whether surveys of journalists' opinions or content analyses of editorial content are themselves sufficient to test the editorial-vigor hypothesis.5 One problem is that neither method can show whether the alleged criticism is having an effect on those who make the public policy decisions. In other words, even if the content of newspapers becomes more critical of the status quo as the newspapers become more corporatized, who cares if political elites themselves do not perceive this criticism or if it has no effect on public policy?
Measuring the impact of news content on public policy decisions themselves is an extremely difficult task - one well beyond the scope of this project. However, there is another approach for testing the editorial vigor hypothesis and resolving the question above - ask news sources themselves whether they believe news and editorial page coverage is more (or less) critical of them and their policies. Although elite awareness is not a necessary condition for changes in public policy, a theory that excludes human agency may be faulted for reifying social structure or for being too reductionistic.6
More specifically, this study attempts to answer two key questions:
(1) Do mainstream news sources in communities served by newspapers that score high on measures of corporate structure perceive their newspapers as being more or less critical of them and their policies than sources in communities served by newspapers that score low? …

Net Worthless: People As Corporations
US Households haven't shaken their 'junk bond' credit rating, given their poor income statement and balance sheet. Reversing Mitt Romney's famous quote "corporations are people", Bank Of America remains skeptical of this self-sustaining recovery - expecting second half growth to slow significantly as businesses and households react to the risk of a major fiscal shock (and in the short-term, momentum looks unsustainable). From an income statement perspective, 'a paycheck just ain't what it used to be' with food and energy prices rising and payroll growth (typically a good proxy for income growth) is disappointingly timid leaving real disposable income diverging weakly from a supposed job recovery. The balance sheet perspective has been helped by the rise of the equity market but the recovery in net worth in the last three years has barely outstripped income growth, leaving the ratio deeply depressed. The upshot is that the recent pick-up in consumption is not being fueled by income or wealth gains, but mainly by drawing down savings. Many households remain deeply distressed and react to higher costs of living by drawing down savings further. In sum, a true virtuous cycle still seems a long way off. As weather effects fade and gas pain builds the data should soften.
Bank Of America Merrill Lynch: If people were corporations
We are skeptical. Looking out to the second half, we expect growth to slow significantly as businesses and households react to the risk of a major fiscal shock. Moreover, even in the near term, some of the momentum looks unsustainable. To see why, let's reverse Mitt Romney's famous quote that "corporations are people" and look at the household sector as though it were a corporation. In our view, given their poor income statement and balance sheet, US households haven't lost their "junk bond" credit rating.
Income Statement: Slipping
Normally a strong job market means both solid income growth and high consumer confidence. Unfortunately, these income and confidence channels are weak today. Despite the drop in the unemployment rate, workers are very worried about job security. Most of the drop in unemployment is due to people exiting the labor force. A better measure of the health of the job market is the ratio of employment to working age population. By that gauge there has been no improvement. Surveys of consumers continue to show deep skepticism about the labor market.
While there has been a notable pick up in payrolls, real disposable income is the ultimate driver of spending in consumption models. Normally, payroll growth is a good proxy for the direction of income growth, but in the past year, real income growth has slowed even as payrolls pick-up.
Indeed, the gap has gotten even bigger in the past three months, with payroll growth accelerating to a 2.2% annual rate, while income has actually fallen slightly. This is because virtually every other factor that goes into the calculation of real disposable income has been weak: wage growth continues to slow, gas prices have been cutting into real incomes, non-wage income such as rent and proprietor's income has weakened, the growth in transfer payments such as unemployment insurance has slowed and the growth in taxes has been strong. As they say, a paycheck just ain't what it used to be.
Balance Sheet: A Long Road Back
We are equally concerned about the household balance sheet. The recovery in the stock market has been partly offset by the continuing drop in home prices. In the standard life cycle model of the consumer, households attempt to build their net worth to cover there future spending needs, particularly for retirement. During the asset price boom, the ratio of net worth to income surged, setting up the baby boom generation for its looming retirement. The crisis pushed the clock back to the mid 1990s. The recovery in net worth in the last three years has barely outstripped income growth, leaving the ratio deeply depressed.
A Constrained Consumer
The upshot is that the recent pick-up in consumption is not being fueled by income or wealth gains, but mainly by drawing down savings. The saving rate is prone to revisions, but assuming we can trust the data, the saving rate has fallen back to its lowest level in the economic recovery.
In our view, US households want to raise, not lower, their saving rate. The retirement savings of the baby boom generation were devastated during the crisis, the large budget deficit creates worries about both higher taxes and cuts in future entitlements.
The job market has gotten more uncertain. And most people no longer view the housing and stock markets as reliable sources of capital gains. All of this points to a desire to increase savings.
We think the drop in the saving rate is partly unintended and temporary. Many households remain deeply distressed and react to higher costs of living by drawing down savings further. In addition, mild winter weather may have drawn forward spending on autos and at retail establishments. As the weather effects fade, so could the consumer. The surge in gas prices will likely both constrain the rebound in the saving rate and hurt spending on other items.
In sum, a true virtuous cycle still seems a long way off. As weather effects fade and gas pain builds the data should soften. We expect consumer spending to underperform relative to the overall economy on a trend basis. And growth will likely be particularly weak in the second half. We expect businesses to recognize the risks of the fiscal cliff first and pull back on hiring. Then with weaker job growth and with the growing awareness of the cliff, consumers will likely start delaying some discretionary spending.

Dont get sukered into gold just yet
"as businesses and households react to the risk of a major fiscal shock."
Why ever would they say that?
What news from the government or the state controlled media would lead anyone to consider that anything the government or the Fed is doing entails any risk?
If we need to be concerned with "really, really bad outcomes" like a major fiscal shock shouldn't the government have our best interests at heart and suggest that we acquire some gold to protect against that risk?
Why give up your gold for an Alinsky education...
Just get your kid to read ZH...
portfolio management is the most important thing that is not taught (much) in schools, imo. household maintenance is a close second.
It is amazing how so-called Democracies can load all the pain onto households and hand over Citizens like Serfs to Banks as indentured slaves, It is fantastic that people are forced to run down savings and become forced-borrowers in many cases to compensate from being wiped-out as Shareholders in Banks that free of Shareholder obligations with State funding now restore their profits by gouging Customers and those who borrowed from them in the past.
The manner in which Politicians have allowed the public to be hooked up to milking machines and tapped regularly is reminiscent of The Matrix
It's the SHEEP that allow themselves to be controlled... Hollywood has no bearing on how I live my life (nor the life of anyone who can identify BS)...
Not so fast francis-sawyer. While I would agree that as far as consumerism oriented and political agit-prop goes the TV/Media/Hollywood cabal have an effect on certain members of the population....perhaps more than we care......it's a little callous to say its the SHEEP who allow themselvs to be controlled in the larger picture of what this post is about.....namely the epochal shift in the American economy and the people who are behind much of that shift.
Good for you for not allowing Hollywood to shackle your mind....My TV has been unwired to both cable and OTA broadcasts for nearly 10 years......and my movie going days are really limited. However.....what makes you any different from the other SHEEP when you are getting fleeced by the bankers and their political lapdogs and whores. And it truly is in that order.....Bankers rule at the top.....politicians are there to manage the people in order to feed the banks more deposits for loans that grease the whoile financial system and for the managing of all the rest of society that has only tangential effect on the finacial system but is still important such as laws that promote stability and a orderly society....military spending to protect our "way of life"....etc. etc.
So what exactly are YOU doing to promote a sound currency....putting white collar banking criminals in jail.....promoting American manufacturing as both an economic and security bulwark against enemies of the state.....how are you keeping your currency from debasing itself everyday.....how are you keeping your food cheaper.....your energy costs cheaper......etc. etc.
And please don't tell me you are cutting back on energy use and buying generic food.....that's only a SHEEP"S way of reacting to the fundamental issue and problem at hand.
Unless you are either...A: running for office high enough to make a difference (which forget it you won't ) or B: willing to pick up the gun as our Forefathers did back in the Revolution and forcibly change things .....how are you not a SHEEP as well.
I'm not a hypocrite here.....I know I am a SHEEP......but I'm a smart enough SHEEP to know that there is nothing this SHEEP can do but prepare myself for when the collapse comes and surrvive it.
Hollywood suffers from ideological problems of the socialist left. Why do you think movie ticket profits are dropping? Watch any movie from the last 10 odd years and notice a trend. They are all extremely PC! No substance whatsoever. Hollywood should go bankrupt.
Fuck you, Sandmann -- MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
It is amazing how so-called Democracies can load all the pain onto households and hand over Citizens like Serfs to Banks as indentured slaves
It isn't, if you consider that the popular type of "democracy" even THEORETICALLY (let alone practically) has nothing to do with "demographics":
People do not vote for policies - they vote for people making policies. And those people they vote for, do not represent any specific policy, because they are allowed to enact whatever policy they want, regardless of what they said or are saying.
Or in short: All we have is a popularity contest: People get to decide the most popular personality. THAT is the scope of modern "democracy": Personalites.
This is what we have in theory, assuming that it actually technically works properly. In practice, we have even less than this.... considering that a selected few decide the options people can vote for, as well as rig votes.
Hope and Change. Baby boomers and seniors are screwed especially if there are 4 more years of Hope.
Young people who graduated college at the start of Hopium may see their lives delayed at least another 4 years. The debt is so off the charts that there may not be a recovery for a decade or TWO. They can start their professional life around age 32 or 34. New college grads will get jobs before these early thirty somethings ever get hired. Sad. The majority voted for Hope.
Many thanks to the Tyler's for toning down the Mrs. Hope 2012 banner ads. I know you guys/gals need money for the site but I get sick at the sight of....
That is a very optimistic forecast, with the amount of debt and unfunded Govt. liabilities and the casino known as wall street i do not see recovery I see collapse and reset
Half because its the reset, not the collapse, that concerns me.
No matter who "wins" its 4 more years of Hopium- the choice is between two guys who relied on the credit card when given executive power, favor an expensive global empire we cant afford and a domestic welfare state, and will let the financial system continue business as usual.
Ho Hope, no Change on the horizon in any direction. As I think we are likely to see some serious unraveling of the system in the next term I see it as voting for who I want to be on the bridge of the Titanic when it starts taking on serious water.
Its a damn tough call, I hate them both. Just another choice between gonhorrea or syphilis, and Im sick of having no option but disease.
We won't be on that stuff for four years..
In two years we'll be hooked big time on pure, uncut Desparium.
In two years we'll be hooked big time on pure, uncut Desparium.
You don't know how right you are. I've been saying from time to time for well over a year on this site that 2013 starts the real Long Emergency for America as the Conservatives become just as disillusioned at the end of Romney's presidency as liberals are over Obummer's now.
The Sheelple will start to truly awake to the fact that America is truly like the Titanic.....struck by an iceberg and already sinking with no hope. However....most of the sheep will continue to listen to the left and then the right for perhaps 1 maybe 2 election cycles until they either accept the new reality and build on it or there is upheaval and revolution in the streets.
My guess is 2020 give or take when the realization turns into some sort of action. Good or bad.
government exist to keep the populace just satisfied enough to not overthrow the elites to make it seem all "fair" to keep the slaves working.
I always vote for the "term limit" party: the best way to throw a monkey wrench into the machine is to force constant change.
Vote out incumbents. And that includes replacing Obama with Romney -- even though they are the same. It's like a Molotov cocktail thrown into the voter booth.
Do it often and at every voting opportunity.
good luck with that jimbo.

P.S. This movie is called "Hacking Democracy" because voting is a democratic process. They makers are aware that the U.S. was founded as a Constitutional Republic.
So! how come the Corporate Owned Media does not put this information in Heavy Rotation on CNN / FOX and / other Bullshit Sheepeople Entertainment, Offical Version Relay Channel(s)!
Fear not! Obama just signed the JOBS Act. I cannot forsee anything possibly going wrong with crowdfunding allowed for small private businesses with no requirement for independent audit, or any kind of transparency. WTF is asymmetric information anyways?
Lots of people seem to be bashing the JOBS act's crowdfunding, but I don't get why. It's not like regulations stopped MFG, BSC, LEH, AIG, Enron, Worldcom, Groupon, MBS, etc., etc. We should all agree that the SEC does nothing, nothing gets regulated, and ratings agencies wait until a company defaults to tell people a company/country has defaulted.
Markets are all buyer beware. What should happen is to have the SEC disbanded, all regulations trashed, and tell people, "if you want to buy some piece of paper from some organization, do your homework." More regulation isn't going to fix anything. The SEC is worthless.
It happened in the 30's when farms were foreclosed on and soup lines were long, welcome back to the 30's, only worse, more yet to see.
Shit...in the 30's people still knew how to grow/obtain food. Anyone here know how to grow a friggin Happy Meal?
My mother in law ran a hardware store in Queens on Jamaica Ave, during Prohibition, the depression and then WW2, I have great memories of her telling stories of what it was like to live during those times. Their house on LI was foreclosed on during the depression and the family moved into the back of the store, which they managed to keep afloat.
To the day she died the woman refused to borrow any money for anything and counseled the family to not buy things unless they could pay cash. "If you can't pay cash for it you don't need it." The women was a pack rat... anything of potential value/use was saved for the "future".
That generation is gone, I wonder what they would say if they could see what is going on today?
I have a problem with the idea of lack of income growth being deflationary since there is going on nearly 10,000 people reaching 65 every day(for the next 19 years) and eligible for a free government check every month on top of their exponential growth in equities all those years of upside based on the surpluses of energy the world was able to produce in the past that have been extrapolated into the future indefinitely.
This article is wrongheaded in that it is assuming from a flawed perspective. It is like the baby boomers who say SSI is failing because, "the government spent the money instead of saving it like they should have". Nevermind that it is a debt based economic model and saving fiat would be no different than printing fresh. "money" in a debt based economic model is lent into existence as a claimcheck against future resources. The government has been doing it's job of steadily creating claimchecks against future resources and so far it has been working. The problem is eventually with all fiat currencies there are too many claimchecks and too few resources. Once the cat is out of the bag...
great analysis... why would they save the money? that's not the way the system is set up to work...we are fortunate to be so enlightened.
yeah, saving I think would imply holding onto past and present resources to be used in the future, I really don't hear anyone complaining that we should be saving anything for the future. ANWAR anyone?
Pretty sweet fuckin setup ain't it to be in the boomer era where you can get your claimchecks(against the future) in earlier than them that ain't even born yet eh?(Typical Ponzi) Just let the magic of compound interest work for you then tell the ignorant youngsters that them that understands compound interest collects it and them that don't pays it lol and then create laws that enforce it? what can go wrong?
They didn't read the history books. You see, it is not a ponzi if you can print the payment method. Or that's the theory. It has been tried before. Many times.

The upshot is that the recent pick-up in consumption is not being fueled by income or wealth gains, but mainly by drawing down savings.
Yep, Bernanke's plan is actually working. Kill the savers and drive every single dollar out into the market to restore aggregate demand.
...or, drive every single dollar into the marketplace to be extracted by the elites. Gotta loosen the death-grip skinflints have on their money. How else can the monied elites get their grubby hands on it?
They just print it and hand out interest free loans. Driving this money into the economy will boost spending giving the appearance of recovery.

Good article. The 401k/IRA craze that we've seen has a problem, most people are clueless as to how manage investments. Sure, you can do it yourself, but if a company you invest in LIES through their teeth on their 10k statements, where does that leave you? Access to real information isn't available to your average Joe, even IF he could understand it.
Hire a financial manager? Ok, fine. Just hope he isn't clueless. Or more probably, he isn't tapped into the movers and shakers that play markets like a kid's game. Again, it's access to true information and most retail style financial managers don't have that avenue to the best, quickest info. Also, don't forget to pay those fees, whether the market is up or down. Add to that the loyalty of the manager may just be to his employer, not YOU.
The "I"ll have to work til 70" isn't well thought out by most. What jobs will you be able to do at 70? Will your health allow you to work? Just plain aging will weaken your body and your energy level is NO where near it once was. I can see employers not wanting to deal with that; skipping over you for the comparably spry 50 yr old instead. I think any job you might find at that age isn't going to pay that well I imagine.
There's going to be an awful pychological shock to those who spent a lifetime of spending foolishly, or those who had spend every dollar to just survive in the past. Counting pennys when your 72 is NO fun.
Or if you have a 401k and know what you're doing, you're still denied access to the investment vehicles you need. The 401k at the firm I work at doesn't even allow you to hold cash. You must be 100% long, all the time. The "safe" options include a money-market style investment, which we know can bar redemption with just 1 e-mail to the SEC and some guaranteed-income fund which is really an annuity and thus subject to the counterparty credit risk of the 401k-management firm's subsidiary in which the funds are invested. As if that's not bad enough, if the @#%^ really hits the fan, the government will grab the money to pay its own bills. We've seen this in Argentina and, most recently, in Greece. The only real choice for saving for the future seems to be physical gold held in your own posession.

Let's Dismantle IRS:This Racket is Busted
31 Questions and Amswers about the IRS
The Federal Zone
Ask Wesley Snipes about the IRS.
Joe Banister is a ex IRS agent, his interview and thoughts are intriguing.
"Joe Banister is the first and thus far only IRS Criminal Investigation Division Special Agent ever to conduct, while serving as a special agent, an investigation into allegations that the IRS illegally administers and enforces the federal income tax. He respectfully reported the results of his investigation to his IRS superiors, up to and including the IRS Commissioner. Rather than address the legitimate concerns raised by one of their own distinguished investigators, his IRS superiors suspiciously refused to address the chilling evidence of IRS wrongdoing raised in his report and instead encouraged him to resign from his position. "
and Irwin Schiff
US household net worth priced in gold:
The Chinese should be very worried........when the customer catches a cold, the supplier gets the flu.
Obviously, the few jobs being created are at payment levels that yield 0 discretionary income while the jobs lost did provide that. The net....our standard of living continues to decline.
What did I tell you people? It's 2016 or 2017. As they say, "hope dies last."
Don't underestimate the willingless of people to want to "hope" for a better outcome when everything says that "crash and burn and cook in the flames of your own naivety and stupidity" will be the only outcome.
Not for nothin'... if people were corporations, they would face FAR lower effective tax rates on their incomes.
When it comes to being taxed, the number of deductions available to an individual is highly restricted, whereas corporations get to deduct vitually every cost associated with their existence: their 'lodgings' (rent), their utilities, their transport costs, their fucking POSTAGE... right down to the costs of having 'guests' over for cocktails. Probably even the tranny hookers and child prostitutes they use to 'honeypot' politicians and judges and senior police.
AFTER all that shit is deducted, corporations pay tax on the residual (unless they have some other excuse not to).
Now, consider Joe Sixpack-Schlubstein III... he gets to deduct fuck-all when you actually look at it. He doesn't get to deduct every penny he spends on keeping his-self alive, then declare that he will pay tax on whatever's left - whereas the corporation does.
Imagine the fucking hue and cry if corporations got taxed on straight-up REVENUE, like we poor cunts.
Note - I am not advocating that corporations be taxed on revenue: I want .gov starved to the point where we can crush its skull like an egg, and then hold mock trials for all the swaggering fuckbags who torment our lives (before we gut them in the public square and neuter their children to put a stop to the stain they introduce into the human genome).
BUT...if corporations were treated with 'personhood' for tax purposes, they would make sure 'persons' got to deduct every cent associated with keeping themselfves fit for work.

Beautiful! So glad you kept painting your skills are improving in leaps and bounds and becoming crazy good.
I may have to steal some inspiration from you. I've never really done backgrounds in my paintings (Mostly because I worked in pencil and that's a huge pain). Now however, I've started painting in photoshop and the genre of art I'm doing has need for backgrounds and I just have no idea what I'm doing. Great work!
Beautiful and mysterious - good job : )

I am fond of hazelnut-flavoured coffee and it is really hard to find it in France, so I gave way! It tastes really good, although it is packed in small quantities that suit best a small cup than a mug (better know it). PS: I was very satisfied with international shipping, you can trust iHerb!

Standard Interpretations - Table of Contents
| Standard Number:
|1910.120; 1910.1030; 1910.1200(h)
August 12, 1992
Mr. Kenneth D. Smith
Assistant Manager, Casualty Risk Control Services
Sedgwick James of Michigan, Inc.
3001 West Big Beaver Road, Suite 700
Troy, Michigan 48084-3164
Dear Mr. Smith:
This is in response to your inquiry of June 30, concerning the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response final rule (HAZWOPER), 29 CFR 1910.120.
You specifically requested clarification on the definition of emergency response in 1910.120 paragraph (a)(3), and asked whether hospital housekeeping staff would be considered "maintenance personnel" in keeping with that definition.
The term "maintenance personnel" as used in the standard was intended to refer to line repair personnel in manufacturing settings who routinely encounter incidental releases of hazardous substances in the course of their normal work activities. Custodial, janitorial, or housekeeping staff are not considered "maintenance personnel" under 1910.120, and may or may not require training under the standard. In determining training requirements for maintenance or housekeeping personnel, the employer must consider the degree of hazard involved, using worst-case clean-up scenarios. Employees will require training under 1910.120 when the potential for an emergency exists.
In determining if the potential for an emergency exists, the key factor is the actual or estimated hazardous exposure or degree of danger to employees and other persons. The fact that housekeeping staff are responding from outside the release area is secondary to the extent of the hazards in determining whether a situation constitutes an emergency or an incidental release. An incidental release is one that does not pose an imminent health or safety hazard requiring immediate clean-up to prevent death or serious injury, and which housekeeping staff can safely clean up without danger to themselves.
If the employer determines that the potential exists for an emergency to develop, then employees must receive, as a minimum, first responder awareness level training in accordance with 1910.120(q)(6)(i). Such training must be designed to enable workers to distinguish a non-emergency incidental release from a release which is beyond their ability to handle without danger to themselves. First responder awareness level training must also instruct employees about how to initiate emergency procedures.
All employees must be adequately trained to perform their assigned job duties in a safe and healthful manner, regardless of their job title. Per your telephone conversation with Ms. Karen Kircher of my staff, housekeeping staff who are expected to handle clean-up of medical waste and infectious materials in health-care settings in non-emergency situations must be trained in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.1030, OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens standard, while clean-up of other hazardous substances (e.g. mercury from a broken thermometer) would necessitate training under the Hazard Communication Standard, 1910.1200.
We hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions please contact MaryAnn Garrahan at (202) 523-8036.

In an interview with the BBC, Emmanuel Nahshon also defends Israel's refusal to grant migrants asylum because it would bring in more asylum seekers.15:21 06.02.16 | 0 comments
Israel Electric is a dinosaur that is costing the state millions. Why should the employees pay no electricity bills, people who work for the railways don't have their family ride trains for free, if you work for the water company you don't get free water so why give free electricity to people who work for the electricity company? What the government needs to do now is break up Israel Electric and then privatise the company which will allow multiple electric companies to compete for our business. They did it in England and it works. Not smart to announce this on the eve of an election but it is one of those things that must be done. Governments are good at political matters whilst the private sector is best at running companies Do we want the government to continue pumping millions in tax money into keeping Israel Electric afloat or would we prefer it is spent on things like social housing because there is not an unlimited supply of money and for every Shekel one sector gets its a Shekel less to another sector. So do you want all your social programs or to bail out the electric company so we can keep it in the hands of the state?

'Don't You Wish Mitt Romney Were President?' Mitt Romney's Friends Ask
A Buzzfeed story features Romney staffers holding unsurprising opinions.
Buzzfeed's McKay Coppins has a popular story revisiting the presidential campaign of our former governor Mitt Romney. It's making the rounds in part because of its trollish headline: "Was Mitt Romney Right About Everything?" The answer according to Republicans giving his campaign a second look in light of recent news is a resounding "yes."
But who are these newly enthusiastic Republicans? Well:
•  "Spencer Zwick, who worked as Romney's finance director and is a close friend to his family"
•  "Robert O'Brien, a Los Angeles lawyer and friend of Romney's who served as a foreign policy adviser"
•  "former campaign spokesman Ryan Williams"
•  "The campaign's chief strategist, Stuart Stevens"
•  "And Jennifer Rubin, the conservative Washington Post blogger who became Romney's most outspoken advocate in the press"
According to the people who tried very hard to get Mitt Romney elected (and let's include Rubin in that descriptor) Russia's antagonism, Detroit's bankruptcy, Obamacare's sustained unpopularity, and Mali all show how the Governor's words were twisted or ignored unfairly.
Setting aside the issue of "Would these things be going better if we'd elected Mitt Romney?," there's an element of non-partisan (or bi-partisan) criticism to be made here, which is that the focus on gaffes and soundbites in our major political races denies voters a real debate. Romney amusingly described Russia as "America's number one geopolitical foe." His attempts to explain himself were drowned out by jokes from the left:
"Everyone thought, Oh my goodness that is so clever and Mitt's caught in the Cold War and doesn't know what he's talking about," O'Brien said. "Well guess what. With all of these foreign policy initiatives — Syria, Iran, [Edward] Snowden — who's out there causing problems for America? It's Putin and the Russians."
Of course, arguing that Russia was our "number one" foe didn't itself demonstrate how Romney's diplomacy with Putin would differ substantively from President Obama's. But it's still interesting. Of course, the overstated "Wasn't Mitt Romney right about everything" angle, like the gaffe itself, sort of distracts from a nuanced analysis.
At any rate, perhaps you were curious what your old governor was up to as the next governor's race gets started and tosses his name back into the local news on occasion. Now you know: if he's anything like his advisors, he's watching the news and screaming "I told you so!" at the TV.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- The National Zoo welcomes a new black howler monkey to its Small Mammal House.
The baby was born to first-time parents Chula and Pele on March 22. Keepers have been monitoring the family since the birth and say that the baby appears to be "bright" and "alert." They also say that Chula and Pele show "strong parental skills."
Zoo officials say that the baby, whose sex has not been determined yet, is the first surviving howler monkey in the National Zoo's history of showing the animal. You can see the entire family at the Small Mammal House.
The black howler has a unique voice box that lets male howler monkey emit a growl that can be heard through three miles of dense forest. They are called as the loudest animal in North, Central and South America, say National Zoo officials.

Best Bait and Tackle (2010)

If you ever get lost and you look over and see the world's largest anything, chances are you're in Houston. Fishing Tackle Unlimited helps with that, because the place is literally the world's largest tackle store. The good thing is, it's not an overdone Disney World-type place like other mammoth outdoor shops. The reel section alone is enough to make your head spin — especially if you check out the price tags. You can also "test drive" kayaks in the store's outdoor pool. Put it this way: If you're working on a research paper about fishing, skip the library and head to Fishing Tackle Unlimited.

Former Michigan guard and Academic All-Big Ten regular Zack Novak will be in the Big Ten Network studio Wednesday night for the Wolverines' game at Minnesota (9 p.m. ET, BTN/BTN2Go).
It goes without saying that we will discover the true colors of Indiana this week. And could Maryland finally lose a Big Ten home game? Here is a ranking of this week's 12 games.
Mary Langenfeld-USA TODAY Sports
It's time to take the temperature of the Big Ten's NCAA hopes with a weekly check of the mock brackets from Jerry Palm of CBSSports.com and Joe Lunardi of ESPN. The Big Ten continues to look like a six-bid league. But Wisconsin—winners of five in a row–is making some noise in Lunardi's analysis.
Jeffrey Becker-USA TODAY Sports
We are now past the halfway point in conference play, and we have certainly learned a lot. There is still plenty of basketball to be played, but it's time to start to identify the teams that are maintaining a high level of play and/or trending upward at the moment.

Isn't it amazing and such a wonderful idea that the way we live inside we can also bring outside? Outdoor furniture provides for all kinds of possibilities. Of course, the best is the kind that allows for tons of comfort, no maintenance and makes outdoor living fun and versatile.
Comfort is what we all crave so look for pieces that incorporate style along with the ability to group or separate. Having a party calls for groups where friends and family can congregate to share good food and good times. Looking at the stars at night calls for more intimate settings, so look for pieces that can work together or separately.
Keeping it simple and light will make your time outside in your garden on your well chosen outdoor furniture so much more relaxing. Look for pieces and materials that will wear well. Pieces that spruce up with an occasional soap and water wash will provide for easy maintenance. While metal and wood furniture are durable and add a great look to your garden they involve a bit more care but it might just be worth it.
Metal outdoor furniture performs best with a quick once over with sand paper and a yearly coat of spray paint. Wood furniture also benefits from a once a year coat of waterproofing. Stain can also be used to brighten up and add some color to the furniture in the garden space. Cushions are the easy and inexpensive way to change the mood of the outside. Like red? Red cushions and red flowers equal =on fire!
…And speaking of color, the best outdoor furniture for your garden compliments and works with your landscaping. Look to place a two seater bench under a tall, feathery fern or a half round table with large over scaled chairs next to a trickling waterfall. Versatility is key and certainly have fun with your patio collection. Always follow the golden rule, mix and match. Matching pieces have a tendency to flatten the space and take the life out of it. Look to the colors in your flowers and the textures of the leaves for inspiration for hues and textures.
As always, pull it together with accessories. What is wonderful outdoor furniture without the sparkle? Look to modern or cottage style to work with your garden space. It is the combination of all the elements of great design and garden landscaping that makes this work the best!

Jets coach Rex Ryan: Patriots 'need to worry about us'
|07.20.14 at 11:16 am ET
Sounds like Rex Ryan is back to being old Rex again.
After sounding chastened the last few years, in a series of interviews Saturday, the Jets coach sounded off about the state of the NFL, his own legacy, and where the Jets stand in relation to the Patriots.
"Somebody asked me if we focus on New England. Bull[expletive]," Ryan told the New York Post. "We're focused on us. We're focused on us and how are we going to be better. I have to be honest, I don't worry about them. They need to worry about us. I think that's really where we're at now."
Ryan didn't make any Super Bowl predictions, but still sounded confident in his abilities as a head coach.
"Do I think that I'm a great coach? I absolutely know I'm a great coach," Ryan told Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. "But it's not just about me. What makes a great coach is the people that surround you, the people that are with you every day."
Ryan, who has a 46-40 career record as a head coach and has seen his team fall short of the postseason the last three years, will lead the Jets against the Patriots twice this season — Oct. 16 in Foxboro and Dec. 21 in North Jersey.
