If they had a flannel suit, I would buy it in a second. They could also stand to have some tweeds. If is not easy finding an OTR gray flannel suit, but I did manage to locate one at J Press. It needs a considerable amount of tailoring to give it decent waist suppression though.post #1488 of 125592/1/13 at 7:27am

I was in the NYC store yesterday, and there was not a flannel to be found, at least in my size range. I didn't see any in the other sizes either. Since they are transitioning out of their fall/winter collection, it is likely that any they had are long gone.post #1491 of 125592/1/13 at 7:46am

You have to decipher from pictures, or email customer services, to figure out if some of the wools are heavier or not.
musulinski, probably too late, but how about this or this?post #1492 of 125592/1/13 at 8:33amQuote:
Thanks for the suggestions, but I don't know that I would fit in either. The Ludlow is way too skinny for me (especially the lapels), and I need a "Short" so the S/M/L/XL aren't going to work.
I am OK with the JPress, as I have a navy suit by them that actually looks good after having some extensive waist suppression put in. The shoulders (natural) on their suits tend to fit me very well.post #1493 of 125592/1/13 at 10:02pm
There was a 3-piece suit in the Washington fit on their online store until about a week ago. Wool with a plaid pattern, if I remember correctly. I was considering it, but alas, it seems I waited to long as it is nowhere to be found. I assume it was a part of their F/W collection. Does anyone know if suitsupply regularly offers 3-piece Washington fit suits?post #1494 of 125592/2/13 at 8:03am

Shakespeare said all the world's a stage but for Georgia Lindsay it is more of a garden.
The 44-year-old, from Crystal Palace, originally trained in theatre design and is a mural artist and interior decorator.
But since 2010 she developed a passion for garden design and is now down to the final four in this year's Grand Designs competition for her small city garden design.
She said: "Maximising a small space to create an interesting enjoyable place to relax is my forte.
"It is a family garden, where relaxation and play co-exist harmoniously.
"The garden has many sustainable, green features which is a strong ethos behind the Grand Designs image.
"I'm thrilled to be a finalist in this year's competition."

Interesting and informative but impractical for cyclist,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Rhine Cycle Route: From Source to Sea (Cicerone Cycle Guides) (Cicerone Guides) (Paperback)
As a tourist guide it is very informative, well illustrated and interesting. The maps are useful as far as telling you were you are heading each day but hopeless at showing the cyclist were to turn when en route. The route descriptions are hard to follow on the maps and, of course, cannot be read whilst cycling without repeated stops. I had hoped for a route map or illustration, which I could have copied and fixed to my bike so I could follow it whilst cycling without having to stop, but there was none. This means one has to keep stopping, buy and make up ones own route map or rely on the route signs. It would also be useful to know where the roads are paved and where they are not. Nevertheless it will be with me en route next May!

Tantalising Tapas
8 September 2010
We all know and love tapas but how did it come about?
There are various stories on the origin of tapas. One story says that when the Spanish King Alfonso the Wise was cured of a disease after taking small bites of food with wine between his mealtimes, he declared that no wine could be served unless accompanied with food.
In ancient times, tasty morsels of cheese and ham were placed over an alcoholic beverage – the name "tapas" means "lid" in Spanish. This tradition has survived the test of time and has evolved to more than a hundred varieties today.
Serenity Spanish Bar & Restaurant's new menu includes a wide selection of tapas, from Spanish octopus – directly imported and grilled with olive oil – to patatas bravas and fried cod fish cake.
For more information head to Serenity Spanish Bar and Restaurant's website

Safe Banking for Seniors Campaign
The American Bankers Association Foundation has released resources for banks as part of its "Safe Banking for Seniors" campaign. The introduction explains:
Financial abuse against older Americans can take many forms, from illegal debits, to third-party scams and even unauthorized withdrawals by an approved caregiver. And with the share of the U.S. population 60 years and over projected to reach 30 percent by 2025, the opportunities to take advantage of these at-risk bank customers become more prevalent—by the minute.
Join us in our pledge to empower customers and communities with the facts, tools and best practices they need to bank more securely. Together, we can help eliminate the almost $2.9 billion lost annually to fraud against older Americans.
Registration is required to receive access to the resources page and banks receive resources on the following: prevention of ID theft, choosing a financial caregiver, spotting and evading scams and being a responsible financial caregiver. Consumer resources include information on joint bank accounts and protecting someone from financial exploitation. There are a number of other resources for bankers. as well as a list of participating banks.

Pennsylvania Joins 40 Other States In Authorizing Tax Exempt "ABLE" Accounts
Pennsylvania lawmakers seem to be on a roll this month, following several months of log jam over the 2015-16 state budget. The legislature passed SB 879 on April 13, and Pennsylvania Governor Wolf has now signed the law, enabling creation of tax-exempt savings accounts to benefit people with qualified disabilities. From the Governor's Office:
The accounts can be used for a wide-range of disability-related expenses including health care, housing, and transportation without jeopardizing eligibility for important programs on which individuals with disabilities must often depend.
"My administration is committed to promoting and encouraging independence, community-based supports and services, and employment for individuals with a disability," said Governor Wolf. "Pennsylvanians with disabilities can now achieve greater fiscal self-sufficiency, without the risk of impacting their eligibility for benefits. I am proud to sign this bill today and continue our work to help individuals with disabilities stay in their homes and communities."
U.S. Senator Bob Casey led efforts to win Congressional passage of the federal ABLE Act, which authorized states to establish tax-exempt savings accounts modeled on section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code, which recognizes state-established savings programs to meet future college expenses. Pennsylvania Treasury has been administering the Pennsylvania 529 program since 1993 and will administer the ABLE Program.
From NDSS's list of states with "ABLE Legislation," it can be seen that Pennsylvania's action makes it approximately the 41st in the nation to "enable" Able. Over the weekend, Pennsylvania also became the 24th state to legalize medical marijuana.
A helpful summary of the use of ABLE accounts, along with other tools that may assist a broader range of ages, including special needs accounts, is provided by Pennsylvania Elder Law guru, Jeff Marshall, here.

Arizona State University Announces Preliminary Plans for Affiliated CCRC
Arizona State University is considering plans to develop a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) near its main campus, working with Pacific Retirement Services (based in Oregon) as a co-developer and operator. From the announcement:
ASU is working with the ASU Foundation, who has hired Pacific Retirement Services to co-develop and operate the project. Artistic renderings depict a gleaming a 20-story building with 291 independent, assisted, memory care and skilled nursing units....
ASU is currently in discussion with Mayo Clinic, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and ASU's nursing, health, innovation, nutrition, arts and design and teaching programs as potential partners. Other amenities include casual dining, health club, game room, estate planning, concierge service, classroom and intergenerational childcare programming....
ASU is currently conducting a marketing and feasibility study about the facility, which would ground lease approval from the Arizona Board of Regents. If approved, construction could begin in 2018 and begin accepting residents in 2020.
For more, read Arizona State University to Build CCRC on Campus, from Senior Living publication.
My thanks to Karen Miller, J.D., who lives in a successful CCRC affiliated with the University of Florida.
Addendum: After posting the above information about ASU's possible project, I noticed that Arizona State University is a named co-sponsor of what appears to be three-day education and business development forum called the ASU-GSV Summit. Bill Gates is a keynote speaker. What struck me as interesting is the summit, from April 18-20, is being held in California -- San Diego to be exact -- and not in ASU's home state. As someone who grew up in the Valley of the Sun, I've been watching the increasingly entrepreneurial spirit of ASU for some time, and this is more evidence.

Time for Medicare Part LTC?
Periodically we will see observations about whether Medicare should offer a long term care benefit as part of Medicare coverage (would this be Part E or maybe Part LTC?). It isn't a secret that many often think Medicare has a long term nursing home benefit, confusing what Medicare covers with what Medicaid does. Health Affairs Blog ran a story recently about Medicare and long term care. Medicare Help At Home offers some sobering data
Nine million community-dwelling Medicare beneficiaries—about one-fifth of all beneficiaries—have serious physical or cognitive limitations and require long-term services and supports (LTSS) that are not covered by Medicare. Nearly all have chronic conditions that require ongoing medical attention, including three-fourths who have three or more chronic conditions and are high-need, high-risk users of Medicare covered services.
Gaps in Medicare coverage and the lack of integration of medical care and LTSS have serious consequences. Beneficiaries are exposed to potentially high out-of-pocket expenses. Medicaid covers LTSS for very low-income Medicare beneficiaries, but only one-fourth of Medicare beneficiaries with serious physical or cognitive limitations are covered by Medicaid.
The authors offer a 3-part proposal that would expand Medicare coverage to include home and community-based coverages:
A Medicare home and community-based benefit for those with two or more functional limitations, Alzheimer's, or severe cognitive impairment, according to an individualized care plan based on beneficiary goals. This would cover up to 20 hours a week of personal service worker care or equivalent dollar amount for a range of home and community-based LTSS.
Creation of new Integrated Care Organizations (ICOs) accountable for the delivery and coordination of both medical care and LTSS that meet quality standards, honor beneficiary preferences, and support care partners.
Innovative models of health care delivery including a team approach to care in the home building on promising models of service delivery that improve patient outcomes, reduce emergency department use, prevent avoidable hospitalization, and delay or reduce long-term institutional care.
The article goes on to explain eligibility, beneficiary cost-sharing, financing, care delivery and coverage. The article concludes, offering that with the Baby Boomers " the Medicare program ... was not designed to support their [boomers] preferences for independent living and functioning.
Moving forward, adoption of a home and community based benefit in Medicare would constitute an important first step to helping beneficiaries afford the services and support they need to continue living independently. Adoption of innovative models of care emphasizing care at home or in independent living settings would reduce the difficulty and risk of obtaining services in traditional health care settings such as physician offices and hospitals. It would also reduce beneficiary reliance on Medicaid's safety-net coverage of institutional care. It is a policy proposal worthy of serious consideration as the nation grapples with Medicare redesign to meet the needs of an aging population.

What's the Connection Between "Living Wills" for Banks vs Humans?
Lately, I've been hearing and seeing the phrase "living wills" in mainstream news sources such as the New York Times, but at first the context was confusing to me because the media were speaking and writing about Big Banks, not humans. So, how did it come about that following the 2008 financial crisis, regulators started requiring large financial institutions to have "living wills?"
The Wall Street Journal explains in What You Need to Know About Living Wills [in the context of Big Banks]:
A living will is a document from a financial firm that describes how it would go through bankruptcy without causing a broader economic panic or needing a bailout from taxpayers. The largest U.S. banks have filed several versions of them since the 2010 Dodd-Frank law, which required living wills from financial firms that were judged to pose a potential risk to the broader economy. The documents are also known as resolution plans. "Resolution" is regulatory parlance for dealing with a failing financial firm. Living wills are separate from other regulatory requirements, such as annual "stress tests" that measure whether could banks survive a severe recession.
I've not yet determined who first came up with "living wills" to describe what Dodd-Frank, at 12 U.S.C. Section 5361(d), refers to as "resolution plans." Without accurate, full disclosure, addressing all aspects of the financial institution's operations, such plans -- by any name -- seem unlikely to achieve the goal of greater market stability. As another WSJ writer points out, the utility of Big Banks' living wills comes if not just regulators, but the Bank executives, are paying attention:
The point of the living wills, like the stress tests, is to sit banks down and make them comb through their businesses in excruciating detail, with a focus on grim aspects like liquidity crunches and operational risks in bankruptcy. A useful result of the living wills is that, if they're done correctly, they give regulators a good overall picture of how a bank works, how money flows between its parts, what its pressure points are, and how it responds to crisis. But a much more important result is that, if they're done correctly, they give bankers themselves that same overall picture: They force a bank's executives and directors to understand the workings of the bank in a detailed and comprehensive way. And if they're done incorrectly, that's useful too: They let the regulators and bankers know what they don't know.
The full article on this point is titled, with nice irony, Living Wills Make Banks Think About Death. There, a least, is one similarity in living wills for humans and banks.

Multigenerational Housing-The Hot New Thing!
The New York Times ran a story recently about a new trend in housing for elders---multigenerational homes. Multigenerational Homes That Fit Just Right are homes that, as the name implies, are designed for multiple generations of a family that live in the same house. "[A] growing number of families ... are seeking specially designed homes that can accommodate aging parents, grown children and even boomerang children under the same roof. The number of Americans living in multigenerational households — defined, generally, as homes with more than one adult generation — rose to 56.8 million in 2012, or about 18.1 percent of the total population, from 46.6 million, or 15.5 percent of the population in 2007, according to the latest data from Pew Research. By comparison, an estimated 28 million, or 12 percent, lived in such households in 1980."
But how does one accommodate family dynamics when living together under one roof? In fact, the story notes, many of the multigenerational households do live in an "ordinary" home. But, it appears that the building industry has developed an option that is catching on, "responding quickly to this shifting demand by creating homes specifically intended for such families." For example, one builder's homes "don't offer just a spare bedroom suite or a "granny hut" that sits separately on the property or a room above a garage. The NextGen designs provide a separate entranceway, bedroom, living space, bathroom, kitchenette, laundry facilities and, in some cases, even separate temperature controls and separate garages with a lockable entrance to the main house. Family members can live under the same roof and not see one another for days if they so choose."
The article explains the drivers for the trend, baby boomers (of course), the 2008 recession, tough job market and higher rents facing millenials, the boomerang children and again, those baby boomers, "[m]any [of whom] are planning ahead in hopes that they can devote more attention to their children and grandchildren — and spend little, if any, time in a nursing home."
Expect to see more of these multigenerational homes over the next years. From a legal perspective, it seems that ground rules, a family contract and a care would be important to the success of the venture (whose turn is it to cut the grass this week? No loud music after 11 p.m. as a couple of an examples). What an interesting concept of the market changing to accommodate demand.

Seattle University School of Law Receives ABA Approval for LLM in Elder Law
As reported in The National Jurist, Seattle University School of Law has been approved by the ABA for an LLM program in elder law. The Elder Law LLM will be "added soon," along with new LLM programs in tribal law and technology. Details include:
The elder law LL.M. will train attorneys to provide representation, advocacy, and leadership in the areas of law that impact seniors and people with disabilities. Courses will cover a wide range of legal issues, including health care coverage, age discrimination, and protection from abuse and neglect.
According to an ABA website here, other law schools with LLMs in Elder Law include (of course!) Stetson University, University of Kansas, Touro University and Western New England University. Review of the linked websites suggests to me that at Touro, the LLM program may have evolved into or merged with a resource center and research platform with the title Aging & Longevity Law Institute. I was unable to find any current information on an LLM at University of Kansas.

Hoarding-More Prevalent Than You May Think.
I ran across a couple of articles recently about hoarding. We all have "stuff" and the older we get, the more "stuff" we may have as we accumulate a lifetime of memories. Does that mean we are hoarders? According to the article in the Washington Post, Hoarding is a serious disorder — and it's only getting worse in the U.S.,
While the stockpiling of stuff is often pinned on America's culture of mass consumption, hoarding is nothing new. But it's only in recent years that the subject has received the attention of researchers, social workers, psychologists, fire marshals and public-health officials.
They call it an emerging issue that is certain to grow with an aging population. That's because, while the first signs often arise in adolescence, they typically worsen with age, usually after a divorce, the death of a spouse or another crisis.
So you have a lot of stuff. And maybe you are disorganized (I once had someone tell me people do two kinds of organizing, some are "pilers" and others are "filers"). Does that mean you are a hoarder? Not necessarily, according to the article, because "[h]oarding is different from merely living amid clutter, experts note. It's possible to have a messy house and be a pack rat without qualifying for a diagnosis of hoarding behavior. The difference is one of degree. Hoarding disorder is present when the behavior causes distress to the individual or interferes with emotional, physical, social, financial or legal well-being."
The article offers some interesting insights into hoarding and the research (such as it runs in families) but it isn't until recently that it's been thought of as a brain disorder. Not only may hoarding have lacked attention in the past, it's one of those situations where the person may not know to seek treatment and the response requires a multi-disciplinary approach. The article has a lot of good information and is insightful in covering the issues.
Then look at this article in Huffington Post's Post 50, 5 Signs That Someone You Love May Be A Hoarder where one expert is quoted as predicting about 4 million people in the U.S. are hoarders. "Hoarding ... is associated with a number of things including difficulty processing information, the inability to make decisions when confronted with a large amount of information and a failure to categorize things — meaning you can't see the commonality of objects and they instead all look unique to you." This article offers 5 signs that someone is a hoarder, including constant attendance at garage sales and swap meets, never inviting visitors to the person's home, never giving anything away, keeping every scrap of paper and getting upset at the suggestion of discarding possessions. Sound like anyone you may know?

Does the Statutory Definition of "Elder Abuse" Matter?
In April 2016, Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Bob Casey (D-PA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Al Franken (D-MN), introduced Senate Bill 2747 in the United States Senate. Carrying the title of "Elder Protection and Abuse Prevention Act," one provision of the bill would amend existing federal law to redefine "abuse," as that phrase is used in the Older Americans Act. The new definition would read:
The term "abuse" means the knowing infliction of physical or psychological harm or the knowing deprivation of goods or services that are necessary to meet essential needs or to avoid physical or psychological harm.
The existing language, defining abuse, provides:
The term "abuse" means the willful--
(A) infliction of injury, unreasonable confinement, intimidation, or cruel punishment with resulting physical harm, pain, or mental anguish; or
(B) deprivation by a person, including a caregiver, of goods or services that are necessary to avoid physical harm, mental anguish, or mental illness.

Learning is a Lifetime Habit
As law profs, that title doesn't surprise us. Learning is something we continually do (and so too, hopefully, our students). The Pew Research Center released a new report, Lifelong Learning and Technology. The report looks at learning from a variety of points, including learners who learn for employment and learners who learn for personal reasons.
As far as age for the personal learners, the report provides a breakdown for the percentage "of adults in each group who participated in at least one of a variety of activities in the past 12 months related to personal growth and enrichment...." for those age 65 and older, the percentage engaged in personal learning was 72%. For professional learners ("[a]mong employed adults, % of those who took a course or got extra training in the past 12 months for job-related reasons...") the percentage for those 65 and older was 47%.
The study doesn't just look at age of the learner, but looks at a number of variables, including education, income, ethnicity, race, access to and ownership of tech devices and internet, etc. A pdf of the report is available here.

When Remittiturs in Nursing Home Awards Trigger Inquiry into Campaign Finances for Judges...
I think it is safe to say that in recent years, juries have not been shy about awarding substantial damages in trials involving claims of negligent care, even -- or perhaps especially -- when the resident is very old. Lately, several of our Elder Law Prof Blog posts have focused on nursing home providers' efforts to avoid jury trials through the use of pre-dispute, binding arbitration clauses in admission agreements. See e.g. here and here. However, there's another way in which litigation of nursing home care claims have triggered collateral legal disputes, and this time it is for the judicial system itself.
In March 2016, former Arkansas state court judge Mike Maggio, age 54, was hit with a maximum prison sentence of 10 years, following his plea of guilty to federal charges for taking a bribe to reduce a verdict in a nursing home negligence case. Maggio was alleged to have reduced a jury verdict in a nursing home case from $5.2 million to $1 million, after the owner of the facility reportedly made multiple campaign contributions to "PACs that were to funnel the money to Maggio for a planned race" for the state's Court of Appeals.
In issuing the sentence, United State District Judge Brian Miller emphasized that while he had earlier rejected the prosecution's argument that any sentence should be guided by the multi-million dollar size of the remittitur, the maximum sentence was still warranted because "corruption in the judicial system especially erodes public trust in the system," noting "a judge is the system." Details of the investigation -- as well as on-going litigation -- are provided in the Arkansas Times' Arkansas Blog.
By comparison, in West Virginia, news media questioned a business transaction and contributions to a judge's re-election campaign, asking whether they affected the decision of the State Supreme court justice when she wrote the lead opinion in an appellate decision that reduced a 2011 jury verdict in nursing home negligence case from $90.5 million to $36.6 million. The justice denied any improper influence or relationship with defense-side parties; following an investigation, the West Virginia Judicial Investigation Commission concluded the justice had no knowledge of the transactions in question, and it dismissed the ethics complaint in June 2015.
The potential for campaign contributions to influence judicial election campaigns has long been one source of criticism of elections for judges.

Is Aging Something to Be Cured?
We have all seen advertisements for "anti-aging" products and claims of products and research to defeat aging, reverse the effects of aging or at least slow down time. Last month Fortune ran the article, The Obsession With 'Curing' Aging Is Now Big Business. Opening with statistics about Baby Boomers, the article next notes that "[i]t comes as little surprise, then, that finding ways to extend a healthy life has become big business, attracting many tens of millions in investment dollars from the likes of Google ... and numerous biotechnology companies." The article looks at six "tech titans" who are financing research for "longevity solutions," including the co-founder of the Methuselah Foundation who explains "[t]he Methuselah Prize has been credited for encouraging scientists to work on anti-aging research and treat aging as a "medical condition...." The research is fascinating. Check out the article and consider including this topic in a class discussion.

DOL Guidance Available for Families on Wage Payments to Home Care Workers
U.S. Department of Labor has a new guide book, "Paying Minimum Wage and Overtime to Home Care Workers," to assist families in understanding updated rules for payment of home care workers. These rules became fully effective on January 1, 2016.
The goal of the recently finalized "Home Care Final Rule" is to "make sure that home care workers have the same basic wage protections as most U.S. workers, including those who perform the same jobs in nursing homes and group homes." The rule applies "if you hire the worker directly, and no agency or other organization is involved," but may also apply if you hired the worker through an agency.
Employers must keep certain basic records for home care workers, and these records will be key to determining proper payment, especially for overtime:
1. Full name;
2. Social security number;
3. Home address;
4. Hours worked each day and total hours worked each workweek;
5. Total cash wages paid each week to the employee by employer, including any overtime pay; and
6. Any weekly amounts claimed by the employer as part of wages for housing or food provided to the employee/.
The guide explains special rules that apply if the paid care provider is a family member or if the paid worker is "living in."
In addition, the guideline explains the "narrow" exemption from minimum wage and overtime rules that applies for home care workers who provide only "companionship services." The key here is that the the worker can be spending no more than 20% of his or her working time on tasks such as assisting with personal care (bathing, dressing, cooking, cleaning, etc.) and the worker is not performing any medically related tasks.

Depression and Dementia?
The Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) Network, JAMA Psychiatry ran an article about a study looking at depression and dementia. Trajectories of Depressive Symptoms in Older Adults and Risk of Dementia considers that "[d]epression has been identified as a risk factor for dementia. However, most studies have measured depressive symptoms at only one time point, and older adults may show different patterns of depressive symptoms over time." The study came to the conclusion that a time line of consideration of a patient's depression may give a better picture of the patient's future potential for dementia ("Older adults with a longitudinal pattern of high and increasing depressive symptoms are at high risk for dementia. Individuals' trajectory of depressive symptoms may inform dementia risk more accurately than one-time assessment of depressive symptoms.")

Massachusetts Court Rules MBTA Retirement Fund Records Are Subject to State Public Records Law
A specialized area of "law and aging" is accountability for retirement investments, including public employee pension funds. In Massachusetts there has been a long feud between the Boston Globe media company and the Massachusetts Bay Retirement Authority (MTBA) Pension Fund over access to pension records, especially after the loss of some $25 million in employee retirements assets following the collapse of a hedge fund holding MTBA money. Last month, a Massachusetts judge rejected key arguments by the MTBA's that the records in question were not subject to state public records law:
"The Court will ALLOW the Globe's motion for summary judgment and DENY the Retirement Board's cross-motion. The Retirement Board's preliminary assertions that the Supreme Judicial Court has already resolved the central question of statutory interpretation in the Board's favor, and that in any case the Globe may not press its claims because it failed to join other necessary parties, are both incorrect. On the merits, the Court concludes that the Board does indeed receive public funds from the MBTA, and thus that the Board's records are now subject to mandatory disclosure under the public records law unless they fall within one of the statutory exemptions. The Board's assertion that the 2013 statutory amendment only applies to records created after its effective date is also incorrect."
For more on the reasoning, see Boston Globe Media Partners, LLC v. Retirement Bd. of Massachusetts Bay Transp. Authority Retirement Fund, 2016 WL 915330 (Superior Ct. Suffolk County, Mass, March 9, 2016).
See also Boston Globe media reports, including Judge Calls for Open MBTA Pension Files, detailing some of the related allegations by whistleblower Harry Markopolos and Boston University finance professor Mark Williams. See also a consulting firm's March 9, 2016 Report for the MBTA that concluded MBTA had accurately reported accounting data on the pension funds during the years in question.

2016 Alzheimers Facts and Figures
The Alzheimer's Association has issued the 2016 Facts and Figures report. 2016 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures is
a statistical resource for U.S. data related to Alzheimer's disease, the most common cause of dementia, as well as other dementias. Background and context for interpretation of the data are contained in the Overview. This information includes descriptions of the various causes of dementia and a summary of current knowledge about Alzheimer's disease. Additional sections address prevalence, mortality and morbidity, caregiving, and use and costs of health care, long-term care and hospice. The Special Report discusses the personal financial impact of Alzheimer's disease on families.
Check out the quick facts here which is great for use in classes. A pdf of the report is available here. An infographic accompanying the report is available here. As the conclusion notes
The costs of caring for a relative or friend with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia can have striking effects on a household. These costs can jeopardize the ability to buy food, leading to food insecurity and increasing the risks of poor nutrition and hunger. In addition, the costs can make it more difficult for individuals and families to maintain their own health and financial security. Lack of knowledge about the roles of government assistance programs for older people and those with low income is common, leaving many families vulnerable to unexpected expenses associated with chronic conditions such as Alzheimer's and other dementias. Better solutions are needed to ensure that relatives and friends of people with dementia are not jeopardizing their own health and financial security to help pay for dementia-related costs.

Planning Ahead for Management of Retirement Accounts
The Washington Post ran an interesting piece recently, using one couple's history of retirement savings to demonstrate the benefits from coordination and, perhaps, redistribution of assets or payments in advance of actual retirement. The couple then invited commentary from two different financial advisers. From one adviser, they learned:
Having different types of savings accounts can give the couple more control over their tax bill when they retire, [Financial Adviser] Sewell says. Money withdrawn from the tax-deferred accounts, such as the TSPs and the traditional IRAs, will be taxed as ordinary income when retirement withdrawals are made – a tax rate that could be as high as 39.6 percent for workers in the top tax bracket. The Roth IRA, on the other hand, can provide tax-free income in retirement. And money withdrawn from their taxable investing account could be taxed at lower rates, such as the long-term capital gains rate of 20 percent, she says. Adding to that account over time can also provide a separate pool of savings and allow them to hold off on tapping their tax-deferred accounts until they are required to do so at age 70.5, Sewell says. That would give those retirement savings more time to grow tax-free.
They also learned:
But consolidating accounts would make it easier for the couple to track where their money is invested and what fees they are paying, Porter says. They can look into rolling over some or all of their IRA savings into their TSP accounts, which typically have more affordable index-based investment options, Porter says. For example, the average expense ratio for a TSP fund, including target-date funds, stock funds and bond funds, was 0.029 percent in 2015, or 29 cents for every $1,000 invested. In contrast, the average 401(k) investor pays an expense ratio of 0.89 percent, or $8.90 for every $1,000 invested, according to a report by BrightScope and the Investment Company Institute. "I have not seen a lower cost plan, so I think you can't beat that," Sewell says.

Baltimore County News
Teri Rising, Preservation Planner
Baltimore County Office of Planning
If your travels don't normally take you across the newly restored Jericho Covered Bridge on Jericho Road in Kingsville, it's worth a special trip to see this beautiful landmark and to visit the historic Jerusalem Mill Village. The Jericho Road Covered Bridge, jointly owned by Baltimore and Harford Counties, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 13, 1978 and the Baltimore County Landmarks List on October 31, 1978. It was among the first group of landmarks to be designated by the newly created Baltimore County Landmarks Preservation Commission. While Maryland has a significant collection of historic bridges representing multiple eras of construction, the Jericho Road Covered Bridge is the only covered bridge surviving in Baltimore and Harford Counties and one of a handful remaining in the state.
Constructed in 1865, the bridge is significant as the last such span in either Baltimore or Harford Counties and its basic structure is an authentic survivor of the 19th century horse-drawn era. Historic documentation suggests that it may have been built to provide a free crossing by avoiding area toll roads like the Joppa Rolling Road (since renamed Bradshaw Road) and the Jerusalem Pike or Philadelphia Turnpike.
The earliest bridges in the County were often constructed and maintained by local landowners at their own expense or by turnpike companies. As the road system grew, Baltimore County systematically funded the construction of many bridges, often replacing crude wood bridges or bridges damaged by flood or fire. Citizens of both Baltimore and Harford Counties had been asking the Baltimore County Commissioners to fund a bridge crossing over the Little Gunpowder Falls for some time. Following the presentation of petitions filed on behalf of residents from both counties, a bill was passed on March 4, 1864. The winning bridge proposal was for a Burr arch through truss bridge, named for design inventor, Theodore Burr of Pennsylvania, who patented the support design in 1804. The bridge was completed by December of 1865 under the supervision of Thomas F. Forsyth.
The recently unveiled $1.7 million restoration represents a multiyear effort undertaken with the cooperation of Federal, State and local government agencies, engineers and preservationists who had the challenging task of balancing transportation requirements, funding availability and historic preservation goals in the early project planning stages. The bridge had previously undergone two substantial rehabilitations in the mid 1930's and 1982, but some of the later work was not sensitive to some historic elements.
The County Department of Public Works carefully planned and performed this most recent restoration so that the historic features and character of the bridge were revealed, retained and preserved. The result of this combined effort is a careful and historically sensitive restoration that returned the bridge to its 1930's era appearance.

- Celebrating Shared History of Only Remaining Covered Bridge in Either County
Following a year of careful restoration work, Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz and Harford County Executive Barry Glassman officially reopened to traffic the historic Jericho Road Covered Bridge in Kingsville.
"This bridge is very picturesque, but even if it wasn't, there is real value in honoring the past and exposing our young people to the experiences that built our great nation," said Kamenetz.
About the Jericho Road Covered Bridge
The Civil War era bridge, which borders Baltimore and Harford counties and is jointly owned by both, had been deteriorating, with parts of the wood arch and truss system weakened by parasites and the bridge deck needing replacement. The structure was closed a year ago and craftsmen from Barns and Bridges of News England, Inc. worked in coordination with Kingsley Construction to make historically sensitive repairs. The $1.7 million restoration project was funded primarily with a grant from the National Historic Bridge Preservation Program, with Baltimore and Harford Counties each funding 10% of the total cost.
The bridge, which spans the Little Gunpowder Falls, was built in 1865 and is significant as the only remaining covered bridge in the two counties. Though repaired many times, 60% of the wooden structure is original. The bridge was among the first properties designated as a historic landmarks by the Baltimore County Council in 1976 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places that same year.
The structure is a timber Burr Arch Truss design, meaning that both the arch and the truss system work together to bear the load. It was originally built of eastern white pine. The current restoration, however, relies primarily on Douglas fir and locust – woods which are lighter and more resistant to decay. The covered bridge is 86 feet long and 14 feet wide. It is roofed with cedar shakes, has a timber plank deck and carries about 700 vehicles each day.
The bridge underwent two major rehabilitations in 1932 and 1982, but some of the alterations were not historically sensitive. This most recent restoration was carefully planned and performed so that the historic features and character of the bridge were retained and preserved.
"The restoration of this iconic bridge was made possible thanks to partnerships on so many levels," said Baltimore County 5th District Councilman David Marks. "The many years of work paid off, and the bridge looks fantastic."
Bridge is One of Many Attractions of Historic Jerusalem Mill Village
To mark the grand opening, Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz and Harford County Executive Barry Glassman shared a horse-drawn buggy ride across the bridge after a short ribbon-cutting ceremony. In addition, the Friends of Jerusalem Mill, Inc., a volunteer organization dedicated to preserving local heritage, hosted tours, demonstrations and refreshments in the historic Jerusalem Mill Village, which features a Visitor's Center, a restored mill building, 1930s General Store and a blacksmith's shop.
Celebrate Earth Day Every Day!
Baltimore County will host a joint compost bin and rain barrel sale on Saturday, April 23, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The sale will be held at the Maryland State Fairgrounds, located at 2200 York Road in Timonium (enter near the main gate). These products enable residents to celebrate Earth Day (April 22) through the sustainable practices of home composting and rainwater reuse.
Compost bins, valued at $100, will be available for sale at $35 each. Rain barrels, valued at $120, will be available for sale at $50 each. Both prices include tax. These are the lowest prices you will find in Maryland for these items this year. Cash, checks, and credit cards (Visa and MasterCard) will be accepted. The sale will occur rain or shine, and all items will be available on a first-come, first-served basis (while supplies last). This sale is not limited to residents of Baltimore County.
Compost bins are shipped in two pieces and rain barrels are shipped in one piece; either product will fit in any car.
Benefits of Composting
Through decomposition, composting converts yard materials (grass, leaves, and small brush) into a rich soil-enhancing material called humus. When this material is mixed with the soil in your gardens or on your lawn, it returns nutrients such as phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, and many trace minerals that are beneficial for plant health and growth. Using compost also helps increase water retention in sandy soils and aids drainage in heavy and clay soils. Please note that to prevent problems with rodents and other animals, the Baltimore County Code prohibits placing any type of food material in compost piles or bins.
Rain Barrels Help Your Garden and the Environment
Collecting and reusing rainwater is a great way to help the environment and your garden because rainwater is free from chlorine and other water treatment chemicals. Using a rain barrel reduces water pollution that can, at times, be caused by stormwater runoff.
This sale will be a joint effort hosted by Baltimore County's Department of Public Works, Bureau of Solid Waste Management, and the Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability.
For more information about this event, residents may visit the solid waste management web site or call 410-887-2000.

We love being able to save money on our park visits by making our own meals without having to go offsite to shop. This is an excellent service and our groceries have always arrived on-time and in excellent condition!!!
The entire process was easy, and everything arrived on time and in great condition. We ordered fresh fruit and veggies, which were very good.. I was also able to order Danactive which made a huge difference in how I felt during my vacation. We will be ordering again on our next trip to Disney. Thank you:)
Great. Made vacation easier + a little cheaper too.

I create my diagrams in Enterprise Architect. Sometimes I need to embed them in Power Point presentations but it does not look good in the UI as it would if I would write them there from scratch.
Is there a way to do it nicely? Which tools would you recommend to manage a long persisting architecture and also present it nicely in presentations?

Williams discusses the magnitude of health challenges faced by men in the US. Men were said to have poorer health as compared to women in all socioeconomic groups. They have a more elevated health risk which are caused by multiple factors such as economic marginality, adverse working conditions, and gendered coping response to stress, each of which can lead to high levels of substance use, other health-damaging behaviors, and an aversion to health-protective behaviors.

That sucks.4. frannyzoo Posted: April 24, 2007 at 12:07 AM (#2343554)
I've only read Teammates and it was a fantastic book. I know he's been derided by some for the occasional inaccuracy and willingness to connect Joe DiMaggio's swing to the prosperity of post-war America, but only the turd in the punchbowl could fail to enjoy his books. I had no idea he was 73, which tells you he had more books left in him.
I'm shallow, but between Yeltsin's death and Halberstam's, it's no contest. This one means more to me. Thanks, sir.5. Jeff K. Posted: April 24, 2007 at 12:11 AM (#2343562)
"The Summer of '49" is the first real baseball book I can remember reading. It put me on a three-year jag of that type of book (Boys of Summer, etc.)6. AndrewJ Posted: April 24, 2007 at 12:14 AM (#2343570)

One he had in the works was about the 1958 Colts-Giants NFL championship game -- he talked excitedly about it when I met him in person four years ago.
My aunt was friends with David's brother Michael, a doctor who was shot to death one night in his car in DC in the early 1980s -- before expiring he drove himself to the nearest emergency room entrance and explained to the staff where he was shot.
While at the NY Times during the Kennedy administration, David Halberstam covered US involvement in Vietnam -- JFK personally asked the Times management to replace him.
When I met Halberstam four years ago, he said he was about to start work on a book about the 1958 Colts-Giants NFL championship game. Wonder how far along he was on it.8. VG Posted: April 24, 2007 at 12:45 AM (#2343626)
I used to say that I wanted to be David Halberstam when I grow up. I've read at least seven of his books. I was fortunate enough to meet him in March 1998 at a book signing for The Children. I was covering the event for the paper I worked for. He agreed to do an interview before the event, and he was generous with his time and advice. After the event was over, he autographed my copy of October 1964.9. Justin T drives a crooked hoss Posted: April 24, 2007 at 12:45 AM (#2343632)
I will miss his forceful writing, his incisive interviewing and his exhaustive research. May God rest his soul.
(I hope he never read the story that I wrote about the book signing. There was an unfortunate editing error that made me and the paper look foolish.)
Ok, we get it, you met David Halberstam.10. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Griffin (Vlad) Posted: April 24, 2007 at 12:50 AM (#2343641)
Story on CNN says he was working on a book about Y.A. Tittle.
This is really crappy news.
Too bad.11. Bruce Markusen Posted: April 24, 2007 at 01:04 AM (#2343664)
At least it was quick. I guess a car crash isn't that bad a way to go, when you consider some of the alternatives.
While growing up, I had always assumed that Halberstam was just a sportswriter, largely because of Breaks of the Game and Summer of '49. Then I found out that he was a wide-ranging author who just happened to like sports, baseball in particular. I think that's a good indication that sports represents more than just the "toy department" of newspapers, as some news people have claimed over the years.12. GregD Posted: April 24, 2007 at 01:19 AM (#2343692)
The Children is one of the really fine popular histories of civil rights. And he was a courageous reporter on that issue at The Tennessean (where he had institutional support) and in Alabama (where he did not and was fired for his reporting positively on civil rights marches.)13.

Could well be, though a quick search shows him being fired as a young reporter during the Civil Rights era from a paper in Mississippi, not Alabama. Not that it really matters (the papers down here weren't exactly to be confused with the Daily Worker back then, not that they are now), but finding myself mired in the morass that is 'Bama I'm just curious about the details.

I wasn't aware of that. I've thought of doing a writeup on that myself. Not that I'm a Halberstam, but I've been looking around for a book topic.
I forget the name of the book, but Halberstam wrote an eminently readable one the US Olympic crew team from @ 25 years ago. I like to read about sports like that on occasion.

According to the ESPN article:
"Jean Halberstam said her husband was being driven to an interview he had scheduled with Hall of Fame quarterback Y.A. Tittle. Halberstam was working on a new book, "The Game," about the 1958 NFL championship game between the Baltimore Colts and the New York Giants, often called the greatest game ever played, she said"
:(19. ERROR---Jolly Old St. Nick Posted: April 24, 2007 at 05:25 PM (#2344212)
man, this sucks WAY more than the death of that russian kleptocrat.
he did an excellent popular history about the 1950's too.
This is a terrible loss, since Halberstam was one of the youngest 73-year-olds on earth, with at least another decade's worth (and probably more) of good writing in him. As a former book dealer, I always admired the way he could write for a general audience without dumbing it down, even if he did tend to get a bit wordy at times. And the sheer range of subject matter that he wrote about was a sure sign of his greatest attribute, which was an insatiable curiosity about the world.20. Bunny Vincennes Posted: April 24, 2007 at 05:36 PM (#2344217)
And damn, I sure wanted to read his take on that Colts-Giants game. I'm sure that Y.A. Tittle alone could have given him half a chapter's worth of insights on that Baltimore defensive line.
This is terrible news.21. Mattbert Posted: April 24, 2007 at 05:37 PM (#2344219)
I have a friend who sat behind Halberstam, Updike, and Plimpton at Fenway years ago. He's got the framed scorecard to prove it also.
I heard about this during the NESN broadcast of last night's Sox-Jays game. Terrible, terrible news. Summer of '49 and October 1964 were landmark books for me as a kid. I'm also remembering very fondly a piece he did on Pedro Martinez for ESPN Page 2, probably seven or eight years ago now.22. AndrewJ Posted: April 24, 2007 at 09:44 PM (#2344545)
Halberstam was the commencement speaker at my younger brother's college graduation a few years ago, and he was fantastic; galvanizing, sobering, laugh out loud funny, and most importantly, brief.
I hope the baseball and journalism communities are able to find an appropriate way to honor him.
Sorry for the double posting last night. I thought my computer froze after post #1, hence the abridged post #2.23. GregD Posted: April 25, 2007 at 12:30 AM (#2344752)
Bill James went to town on Summer of '49's inaccuracies, but it's still an all-right book. The Teammates was excellent. October 1964 is a good book, but asking a Phillies fan like myself to read about the 1964 NL pennant race is like asking a Jonestown survivor if they'd like a sip of your Kool-Aid.
get the talking mongoose,24. Buzzards Bay Posted: April 25, 2007 at 01:03 AM (#2344821)
You're right about the state. I don't know the details, but it is mentioned in this review of The Children that he was fired for freelance articles he was writing about civil rights. http://www.nytimes.com/books/98/03/15/reviews/980315.15oshinst.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
in the HOM of our wild blue yonder Mr.Halberstam is unanimous
