News 12 has learned the five Hephzibah high school students involved in a school bus stabbing will be suspended for ten days. On Friday, the parent of Shanice Scott, the student stabbed, met with Hephzibah High Principal Dr. Veta New. News 12 was there and finds out of the school's metal detectors are being used.
Bernadette Scott came to Hephzibah High School Friday for answers about a fight on a school bus that left her 17-year-old stabbed. She spent hours at Eisenhower Medical Center with her daughter Shanice.
"I ain't feel it when it first happened, I felt it afterwards," Shanice said.
It all stems from an altercation at school where Shanice and her friend confronted some other students on the bus about stolen stuff out of their lockers.
"We was on the bus and I went to the girl and asked her about my stuff so she laughed about it and thought it was funny so we started fighting," said Kayla Cherry, Hephzibah HS student.
In the midst of the fight, Shanice was stabbed with a steak knife deep enough that it hit a muscle, and now Shanice has 15 stitches.
But Bernadette wonders if the stabbing could have been prevented if the school's metal detectors would have signaled that a student had a knife.
"They are not using them, they are pushed to the side so what's the use of having them?" Bernadette said.
Principal Dr. Veta New says that's not true, she says those metal detectors are plugged in 24 hours a day.
"There's really no reason for us not to plug them in as you can see," Dr. New said.
Dr. Veta New says it is possible that the student with the knife could have used another door. Only the front entrance has the metal detectors.
"The children don't all come in and out this door. We have rear entrances with staff there," New said.
While the school says this is an isolated incident, Bernadette says she is thankful her daughter is alive.
The five Hephzibah High students suspended face tribunal. The date has not been set.

Stretching Exercises: 6 Yoga Moves That'll Make You Look Younger
Ward off lines and wrinkles by adding one or all six of these anti-aging, super-stretching yoga poses to your workout
• Press your forearms into the floor and straighten your legs into a downward dog-like shape.
• Look up a bit and move your chest forward until your head is hovering right over your hands.
• Hold for a few seconds and then press back to where you started.
• Don't let your shoulders shrug up toward your ears and keep your abs tight.
• Repeat the small movement (forward and back) five to 10 times. If the movement is too tricky for you to do, simply hold the pose without moving for about 45 seconds.

Downward facing dog is hands down my favorite move. Some of these are not very good if your have a bad back or neck.

Very interesting, but be careful if you have a preexisting injury and/or pain.
by robyne00 Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 03:48PM Report as inappropriate
It's not exactly yoga that is anti-aging, but rather more the stretching that forces you to relax and breath, allowing you to clear your mind. I did gymnastics for 15 yrs and I found that stretching for 20minutes a day, with similar moves here, before the yoga fad, helped me reduce stress, even when the pressures of competition was upon me. This should explain for the yoga amateurs why exactly the move helps with anti-aging and also mention that most of these moves are not for those with joint or back problems such as myself. It's like blind faith with this article. You tell me what to do, but why?

How to guides
How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.
Buying guides
Primers buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.

Finding the right combination of colours to match your home and personal taste is essential, but it can often feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Cool, i may hit up the LA show, but i'd probably go alone. I don't really have friends around who listen to hip hop anymore. Going alone always kinda sucks but it didn't stop me from having a blast at the last sage show i went to.

so i'm taking a bunch of NYC banker dudes, who have never heard of sage francis, to the show at marky mark's, or whatever it's called.

2Mex has been added to the San Francisco show.
In other news, here's a good pre-show write up for the San Diego show:
Rhode Islands Sage Francis emerged from the turn of the century indie rap boom and backpacker movement as the godfather of confessional hip-hop. Set against a genre historically predisposed toward image over reality, Sage favored a poetic delivery fraught with the more harrowing side of the human condition. His official debut Personal Journals, released on Oakland alt-rap label Anticon, built on a formula he had hinted at on his Sick Of... mixtapes and created an entirely new style of revelatory hip-hop. The album allowed the listener an unprecedented glimpse behind the curtain into a rappers struggles with depression, a fathers crippling drug addiction, and a sister with serious cutting issues.
From there on the floodgates opened and out poured like-minded artists such as Atmosphere, Eyedea, and Aesop Rock, creating left-field hip-hop with hearts firmly on sleeve. These emotionally vulnerable emcees spoke to a new generation of fucked-up kids, much in the way Nirvana had a decade prior. Labels such as Anticon and Rhymesayers and Definitive Jux, who offered a platform for the confessional movement, thrived in an epoch where college radio still meant something and wide-eyed kids traded burned CDs of their indie-rap heroes. Many San Diegans may recall the era when freestyle cyphers routinely formed in parking lots and storefronts after local shows at shithole, teen-centric venues such as the Scene and Epicentre in the days before indie rappers could book gigs at the Belly Up and Casbah. It was a strange and beautiful scene that seemingly vanished as quickly as it had appeared, and one of its defining moments was undeniably the release of Sages Personal Journals.
Looking back now, a decade after it hit independent record store shelves, the album is as relevant today as it was in the post-9/11 world where it first resonated. The themes contained in songs such as Runaways and Broken Wings speak as loudly as ever. With that at least partially in mind, Sage Francis is playing a string of one-offs to mark the ten-year anniversary of that groundbreaking record. Having hung up his touring hat in 2010 following the release of the indie rock-influenced Li(f)e to focus on running his Strange Famous Records label and cultivate his greying beard, Sage has become an elusive creature, difficult to catch live anywhere and particularly on the West Coast. A showman who leaves it all on the stage and brings filthy, gallows humor along to counteract the abyss-staring nature of his catalogue, Sage constantly changes his live presentation via subtle improvisation and an array of backing bands. The Providence-based wordsmith has played countless memorable gigs in San Diego, from his first live band tour stop at the extinct Canes to his face-melting performance at Soma some five years back on Fathers Day, which included a spontaneous, between-song Happy Fathers Day...to my dick rant, its lack of recorded documentation tantamount to war crimes. Those within driving distance of the Belly Up would do well to make the trip out to catch the enigmatic Sage on March 18.

Awesome show last night. I was disapointed I missed most of Inspired Flight, but what I saw was good.
This was my first time seeing the Metermaids and I'm glad I did. They put on a great show. I was especially impressed with their back-and-forth rap. Shades Off was the song I was really hoping to hear and they didn't let me down. They had me in suspense though, as they saved it for their last song. Well played for sure. My only critisism was that Swell had a habit of mouthing Sentence's lines. It didn't take away from the performance, but it remknded of the early Fresh Prince episodes.
Sage's set felt like a mixtape; a verse here, an intro there, another verse over a different beat. It was a really god way to keep the old material fresh. I can't get enough of Come Come Now/Mourning Aftermath over Closer to God.
Some douche was acting up right at the start of Sage's set and threw a variety of things. Sage figured out who it was then looked at him real hard. "You look real fuckin' drunk, homie."
Someone else threw their drink at a girl and started a fight up front. I felt it tied in rather well with That Ain't Right.
There seemed to be an awful lot of people filming during the show, which is a peeve of mine. Someone behind me was filming with their flash on, even though they weren't close enough for it to do anything. I made a point of waving my arms in front of their camera. Another dude next to me I politely asked to stop filming. He felt it was okay because he had an unused ticket cause his girl didn't come. He stopped for a few minutes, then took a few steps away from me and started filming on the sly.
The encore was exceptional also, but I'll leave it at that.
Thanks for an awesome show

All of these shows had an element of crazy. My only regret is having too many long drives which meant I couldn't really have quality chill time with the fellas. But work is work, and we did our damn thing. Most of them were sold out which is always good. Girls were in FIGHT mode at these shows. I saw multiple fights from the stage. Almost had to stop a song once. Almost. Alas, the show must go on. Many thanks to the Metermaids for making LA bow down to Brooklyn. Well..almost. It was worth the effort. Haha. San Diego and San Francisco ate it UP, but LA is still a little sore about Biggie being the greatest of all time and all.
In San Francisco we pulled off MacGruber's "Celery Dance" in a major way.
Also, big ups to Hugo who joined me on the full run to help with merch services. He held it down at the booth EVERY night, and saved me from having to worry about that side of things. Oh, and I also got into a couple altercations. Can't forget about that. People who drink too much and lose all concept of what is or isn't acceptable need to either master their high or step the fuck off. It was a great reminder of why I can't dedicate myself to more shows. This is a good pace. TEXAS IS NEXT!

I didn't see a Week 1 thread, so I made one. If there is another, please link to it. I don't want there to be two of these.
I did Week 1 Day 1 today. (OK. technically, it's Week 1 Day 4). I have never been very active before. Last week I started Week 1, but I found it very hard. Slowing down helped some. I now run at 13:30 min per mile. That is so slow. However, I don't feel ready for Week 2, so I'm repeating Week 1. I'm significantly overweight, and don't want to push it. I'd rather have to repeat weeks than move ahead when I'm not ready. I'm new at running, but don't want to push it. Running for 60 seconds is still quite difficult for me. Getting the proper running shoes last week helped. I don't want to get injured and have to quit. After all, the turtle won the race, right?
I'm running inside, on my treadmill. Others have said to run with an incline, but that's just too hard right now. So I'm running with no incline on my treadmill. Perhaps I'll work up to a 1 degree incline as I progress through this program.
I am starting week 1 day 1 tommorow =) Very excited ! Been looking at this program for awhile, but finally gonna get my self in gear.
Looking forward to chatting with everyone!
Honestly, I'm kind of glad to find someone else who isn't finding week 1 a breeze Today I did W1D1, and it was tough. It felt good, but I couldn't run the entire 60 seconds as I'm very out of shape. However, I'm determined to stick to it and eventually get to the full three miles of running!! I'm definitely not even thinking about making an incline on the treadmill! Ha!
I am going to try to do a little bit of activity in days in between runs, just to help me get into better shape. It might be as little as taking the dog on a walk, playing my x-box Dance Dance Revolution game, or maybe I'll finally pull out those strip aerobics videos that have been laying under the tv for 2 years!!
Hi everyone,
I am starting W1D1 today as soon as my babysitter gets here this afternoon. I'm a little nervous. I have done this once before all the way to a 5K race, so I know it works, but I remember how insanely hard it was to get started. I feel for all of you who are having a hard time with week 1. I know that if you - and I - can stick to it, we will feel an amazing sense of accomplisment. My background is this: I have never liked exersize and I'm pretty skinny so I never really worried about it. Then I married a v. athletic man and got into running. I felt healthier than ever. When I got pregnant a few months after my first 5K, I had some troubles and was told to stop running. I never started again after the baby was born and I had another beautiful girl just 20 months later. My girls are now 29 and 9 months old. Despite chasing a toddler and playing at the playground all day, my body is so out of shape - I huff walking up stairs. So I'm doing this again. Last time my message board group really helped keep me on track so I'm excited to have you guys!
I'll let you know how this afternoon goes.
I'm out the door to do day 1 as soon as I download the podcast!!!! I'm very excited, maybe a little too excited?
Just finished the first run and I feel great!!! Ran outside in the 20 degree snowy greatness and felt amazing!!! I was hurting at first, but after the first couple jogs I felt myself running out the pain and I picked up the pace a bit, worked on my form (not much to work on since I have no form), and just let it all go. I'm excited about D2, and am going to go grab a protein shake and enjoy a day off from work. I don't know how I'm going to get up to form for a 5k in 9 weeks, but today was a good start, it was a good day. I want to hear how everyone else's runs went, and keep up the awesome work!!! By the way group, where are you all from??? Myself, just moved up to Minneapolis from Cleveland.
Well...Here I am Week one Day one....again. I did the Couch to 5k 4 years ago after I quit smoking and it was great. I slimmed down to 185lbs. (I'm 6ft. tall) and felt fantastic. Why I quit running I do not know...but I sure regret it. I'm up to 225lbs. and feel horrible all the time. I have been wanting to get back into it, but just didn't. I finally told myself that I need to quit being lazy and just do it. It felt good to get up this morning and get on the treadmill. I've taken the first step, and now need to be committed and make it a habit. I would appreciate your support and encouragement as I begin this program, and I will do the same.
Looking forward to getting to know some of you as we work towards a common goal.
Great job getting back into it Eric, and the rest of the group! I used to be in tip top shape in college. I'm 6'6" and when I played football I could pretty much do anything (at least that was the mindset), 70 pounds later and years without exercise and I'm kinda broken down. Confidence, energy, it's all in the crapper! I stubled upon this site trying to find something to motivate me, and really enjoyed reading all the posts. I'm here, with you guys to help push you all through this and do it myself. I know it will suck and everyone will have pain and moments of wanting to go back to the couch... but keep logging on and posting and we'll all get through this and run some races!! So, nice to meet ya, and keep chuggin people!
Hi Week Oners. Welcome to the Couch to 5k program.
Although I'm currently in Week 2, I've done this program before. It really does work. You can go from couch potato to running 3 miles in just nine weeks. It is really possible. There are a lot of people, like many of you, who thought they could never run. Now they are runners. Soon you will all be runners as well. Instead of watching the runners out your car window, you'll be the runner that people in cars watch wondering "I wish I could do that."
Also, I have very bad news for all of you. You have chosen an addicting sport. Running is fun and addicting. You probably don't believe me now, and you may not right after you finish C25k, but if you keep with it, you will understand. The Runner's High is real, and after the first time you experience it, you will also be addicted. It takes a couple weeks after finishing Week 9 before you are really adapted to running 3 miles. I had my first Runner's high 2 weeks after I finished the program. After that, I kept running 3 miles, three times a week for months. I only stopped because of the busy holidays. Now I have restarted running, and C25k is a great way to make sure one doesn't get injured in the process.
For all of you who are discouraged about week 1, don't worry. It gets easier. You will probably find that Day 3 is much easier than Day 1. Just make sure you aren't going too fast. Maintain a pace where you can carry on a conversation. If you can't talk, you are going too fast. At this point, speed does not matter. It doesn't matter if you're going 8 min per mile, or 16 min per mile. Just run at your own pace. Speed will come in time.
Alex- don't get discouraged about having to repeat week 1. Lots of people have to repeat weeks. You are being smart by listening to your own body. Different people adapt to running at a different pace. Just because you had to repeat week 1, don't assume you'll have to repeat all of them. You will adapt to running at your own pace.
Good Morning =)
I did week 1 day 1 run last night..wow I really enjoyed it. I was surpirised how much I enjoyed it! It was hard,but i did it!
How is everyone eles doing ?
Hello there.
I'm trying to motivate myself for tonight's run. Day 2 of Week 1
The first run was on Sunday...I enjoyed it, but I won't lie. It was HARD! It made me realize that I'm much more out of shape than I thought. Please tell me that most people stick with this!
"most people stick with this"
It's hard starting...but if you keep at it, it will become a habit, and it will get easier.
hang in there!
I'm on day 3, week 1. So far, so good. It's pretty hard towards the end but I am totally out of shape so that doesn't help. I have been trail running because I feel safer and I hate treadmills. I also like getting outside and getting some air. So far, it hasn't been too cold...I've been lucky. I even managed to talk about 5 friends/co-workers into doing a 5k with me on March 31st. Do you all think that's realistic?
Thanks! I appreciate the encouragement! Telling myself to "Suck it up, cupcake!" only gets me so far!
I started week 1 day 1 last Thursday and although it was tough, I actually enjoyed it. I decided to start over this week and started week 1 day 1 today at 5:30 A.M. I also went to my first cycling/spinning class last night. My plan is to do cycling on Mon and Wed and to do c25k on Tues, Thurs and Sat. I am overweight but I really would like to shed pounds and get into shape. I am an Army veteran and I feel ashamed to have let myself go like this. Although I was overweight when I left, I have gained about 60 to 70 pounds since I left the Army almost 12 years ago.

The incredibly enduring Old Moore's Almanack foretelling the year ahead is in the shops again. The years change but Old Moore never does.
The flimsy emerald green paperback is the same as always as it surrounds the list and dates of the horse and cattle fairs and markets, the Tides Table, all the other perennial commercial information that touches our lives for the next 12 months.
If you were born in Ireland there was an Old Moore's Almanack brought into your home at this time year after year. The flimsy soft paper cover had usually been worn away and discarded by the end of January.
It is a good bet that the book was stored between the radio or TV and the nearest wall. It is an equally good bet that the predictions within had been read by all in the house two or three times during those long lazy limbo days between Christmas and January 1.
I did not yet buy my copy because, being zany in the head, as ye well know by now, I always decide around this season to go into the prediction business myself.
I have the enduring wish, actually, to launch Old MacConnell's Almanack some time in the near future and challenge Old Moore on his home ground. I've mentioned this wish to ye before and I swear that I will try to realize it in the weeks and months to come.
And for sure there will be a glossier and more durable cover on my book than Old Moore has ever risen to. It will be of exactly the same color though. That is traditional by now.
The predictions in Old Moore, to my mind, are usually accurate in a general way, but nowhere near specific enough to be of any real assistance to the average citizen of Ireland. My predictions will not alone be more accurate, they will also be extremely specific and therefore very helpful indeed.
I will give you a partial sample here and now so you will have a foretaste of what will be appearing in Old MacConnell's Almanack when it eventually hits the shelves in its glossy emerald green overcoat in 11 months time please God. Retain this piece and check from time to time.
I guarantee you will be so impressed that you will be rushing out next December and gladly forking out a goodly sum to buy Issue 1/Volume 1 of Old MacConnell's Almanack.
For example, by February 14, 2011 the letters page of the Irish Voice will be dominated totally by letters relating to gay participation in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in New York. Most of the letters will represent the orthodox views that are thrashed out every year on the parade issue, but one brief letter, from a lady with the initials J O'M, will cause a major stir insofar as she clearly states, for the first time publicly, that she has always been gay and will march on St. Patrick's Day with her colleagues.
She is an extremely well-known personality, and her letter will cause a major stir not just in the Irish Voice but in other media as well. There, now, is a very specific prediction of the type I will specialize in.
By March 27 here in Ireland, in the wake of an extremely muted general election, the entire future of Fianna Fail will be in doubt. This will be because of the absolute scourging the Soldiers of Destiny sustained at the polls.
A record number of outgoing ministers will lose their seats. The party will have a new leader by then -- Micheal Martin -- and Brian Cowen will have retired. The incoming government, cobbled together with difficulty, will be headed by the new Fine Gael leader.
The current Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny will also announce his intention to retire. The Green Party will have gone the way of the Progressive Democrats.
Gerry Adams will be a major figure in the new Dail (Parliament). He will make a major gaffe in his maiden speech there during the first week of April. It will be about an economic issue.
A Dublin teenager, running as an independent, will become the youngest ever member elected to the Dail.
President McAleese will feel it necessary to address the nation on RTE in the third week of April. John Gormley of the Greens will also have retired by then.
Dublin will have a new elected mayor. I will tell ye her name later!
Down the scale of events, there will be an international furor over the kidnapping of an Irish ambassador in the Middle East in mid-May.
In the same month there will be headlines around the names of Liam Neeson, the golfer Rory McIlroy (May 18), the singer Brian Kennedy (24th), Bertie Ahern (11th) and one Michael Murphy (23rd), whom you know nothing about yet (he hails from Carlow) but will have heard a lot about by May.
Triplets will arrive on June 4 in the home of a top Irish actress. Two boys and a girl.

The empathy gap
WASHINGTON — Given the state of the economy, by any historical standard, Barack Obama should be 15 points behind Mitt Romney. Why is he tied? The empathy gap. On "caring about average people," Obama wins by 22 points. Maintaining that gap was a principal goal of the Democratic convention. It's the party's only hope of winning in November.
George H.W. Bush, Romney-like in aloofness, was once famously handed a staff cue card that read: "Message: I care." That was supposed to be speech guidance. Bush read the card. Out loud.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - Less than two years after the Denver Museum of Nature and Science unearthed thousands of ice-age treasures in Snowmass Village, a mammoth-and-mastodon exhibit is coming to town, and the staff is taking the opportunity to showcase its findings from the 2010 dig.
"Mammoths and Mastodons: Titans of the Ice Age," developed by the Field Museum of Chicago, starts this weekend and focuses on the evolution of the beasts, their differences and what might have led to their extinction. The Denver museum will contribute evidence from various Colorado dig sites, primarily Snowmass.
Exhibits are planned years in advance, so this one was on the museum's schedule before staff even knew what an amazing find they would make in Snowmass.
"(It's) so fortunate that we get this opportunity," said Ian Miller, who co-led what the museum calls the Snowmastodon Project and is curating the exhibit.
The museum could have put out its 3,000-plus mastodon bones, but because the exhibit already includes many of those plus life-size models, the Snowmass fossils are mostly other animal and plant specimens, including parts of camels and horses, birds and salamanders, fossil cones, Douglas fir logs and a branch that shows where beetles chewed under its bark.
"The exhibit is about the evolution," Miller said. "Snowmass is going to play a part in helping us understand what that saga is."
Although Ziegler Reservoir is one of the "finest mastodon sites in the world now," Miller said what makes the site special is the wide spectrum of pieces discovered.
"It's really a treasure for all of us," he said. "Certainly one of the things that makes Colorado a unique state. ... (It offers) a crystal-clear glimpse into the ecosystem of 120 (thousand) to 50,000 years ago. And it was the ecosystem that was right here in our backyard."
Miller said he expects the science conducted using the Snowmass findings will be published in about a year. A total of 45 paleontologists are working on the project. Miller said having so many is rare in the field.
This exhibit will be the first opportunity for the public to see these particular pieces, with the exception of the bison skull, Miller said.
"We're thrilled to get a good chunk of the stuff out on the museum floor," he said.
Although it didn't get nearly the media coverage, the Denver museum also discovered another site in Holyoak, Colo., the same year of the Ziegler dig. What it found there was an ancestor species of mastodons. Museum visitors will have the opportunity to watch volunteers clean and prepare findings from that site.

Every day, thousands of Americans turn 65. How do we help ensure that the U.S. system is ready to meet their needs?
Contributors Respond
Freda Lewis-Hall, M.D.
EVP and Chief Medical Officer, Pfizer Inc.
The most impactful action we can take is to move to a prevention-centered system, with policies and programs in place to preserve good health and prevent disabling disease. There is no reason why age 65 shouldn't be the gateway to years of general good health. We have to get people in the Baby Boom generation thinking now about how they can stay vigorous and delay, for as long as possible, the issues that come when one's health conditions impair independent functioning.
An immediate focus should be policies, programs and investments that anchor an all-out attack on chronic diseases, many of which are preventable or readily treatable. If Americans could make a stand against the "Big Three" risk factors—poor diet, lack of exercise and tobacco use—we might prevent 80 percent of heart disease and stroke, 80 percent of adult-onset diabetes, and 40 percent of cancers. Medicines and vaccines will play important parts here; so will health disciplines ranging from nutrition science to human kinetics.
Helping people change lifelong habits will not be easy, but we know that positive lifestyle changes made in the fifth, sixth and seventh decades of life can translate into longer life spans and better quality of living. Keeping people healthier, longer, and out of the clutches of disabling chronic diseases will lead to large benefits for America and Americans. Better health for more people over 65 could translate into substantial gains in national productivity, greater value for healthcare dollars spent, and stronger key industries such as housing, transportation and tourism.
Mary R. Grealy
It's an excellent question and one of our most important domestic priorities given, as you point out, that the baby boom generation is transitioning into retirement years – with the increasing healthcare needs that accompany them – in large numbers.
There are a number of policy actions that should accompany this demographic change, but two in particular stand out. First, understanding that today's senior population is living longer on average, we need to take steps to make those additional years healthy ones. Medicare coverage should reflect the imperative to prevent and effectively treat chronic disease. This should include coverage for a wider range of treatments for obesity that have proven effective. Almost 70 percent of Medicare beneficiaries have at least two chronic conditions. We can make their lives better and make the program stronger for current and future seniors by making chronic disease prevention a priority.
There are other good ideas circulating in Congress, such as the bill by Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Rob Portman (R-OH) to incentivize seniors to engage in wellness activities and practice healthier lifestyles.
Also, for the long-term health of Medicare for those still approaching retirement, it is inevitable that we determine how to structurally strengthen the program so it can continue to meet the needs of beneficiaries well past the 2026 insolvency date announced this year by the Medicare trustees.
If left unaddressed, the Medicare program as it exists today cannot be sustained. In 1965, when Medicare began, there were 19 active workers for every beneficiary. Today, there are approximately three and that number continues to decline. Staying on this course, without structural change, policymakers would face the unenviable options of raising taxes, making beneficiaries pay more out-of-pocket or reducing access to care by cutting what Medicare pays for healthcare goods and services.
To meet the needs of beneficiaries, and do it even better than Medicare does today, it's time to look at approaches that work well from both a quality and cost standpoint, like Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage, and apply the lessons learned from those programs. These lessons include giving beneficiaries more control over their healthcare decisionmaking. Meaningful reforms, combined with the steps U.S. healthcare providers are already taking to emphasize value of care rather than volume of services, can ensure a stronger, more sustainable Medicare.
Robert B. Blancato
Executive Director, NANASP
New Census data shows us that one in eight Americans are over the age of 65 – an 18 percent increase since 2000. Those 85 and over will triple by 2040. Today, baby boomers are between 49 and 67 and will flood the ranks of those turning 65 for years to come.
Are we prepared? We have strong individual programs and services, but they do not constitute a national policy. What we need is to ensure that economic and health security is assured for people as they age.
For the majority of older Americans, economic security comes in the form of Social Security. One-third of seniors depend on Social Security for 90 percent or more of their income. Due to the "age wave" in America, however, projections suggest reserves will run out by 2033. As Congress and the Obama administration face a deadline this fall to raise the U.S. debt ceiling, this entitlement program will be largely debated. Given its importance to seniors, the need to keep this program cannot be overemphasized. It has helped keep older persons out of poverty, and we must keep it strong for current and future beneficiaries.
As an increasing number of Americans turn 65, providing them with health care is also critical, specifically as it relates to providing long-term home care. Not only is home care preferred by older adults, it also is much more cost effective. An AARP report based on 38 state studies from 2005-2012 found that home and community-based services are much more cost-effective than institutional care. With less than five percent of seniors live in nursing homes, and millions of individuals in their homes and needing long-term services and support, we must allocate resources appropriately to address this issue.
Our health care system needs to be ready for the influx of older Americans, and one way to provide the cost effective, long-term health care these individuals want and need is to create a system that can accommodate this new demand. Not only will it decrease overall long-term health care costs, but it also makes life easier for the individual who needs care.
In the coming years we need policies that let us effectively address aging in America as a priority with the ultimate goal of ensuring the quality of life keeps pace with the increasing quantity of life. Providing economic and health care security through social security and long-term home care is one way our health care system needs to adapt to prepare for the increasing number of older Americans.

Are gift card baby showers appropriate?
Baby showers seem uncomfortably gift-grabby to me regardless, but I'd rather give a thoughtful, useful present than a gift card.
Elle & E & Charlotte & Juniper & Elvis
every time she sneezes I believe it's love, and oh lord, I'm not ready for that sort of thing.
Well, I am going to assume that most people will not enjoy the baby shower as much. I mean, people love to see the cute gifts and clothing for the baby. It will probably be kind of weird for people, but she will have to deal with it. She may also still get some gifts. I have some older women in my family that would say, "That's bullshit. I am bringing a real gift." because they are kind of old fashioned like that.
To me, when I got gift cards at the baby shower.. it yelled... "Get what they missed, darling." And I did just that. My entire baby shower was wonderful, but I loved those cards because I got to buy a first aid kit, nail clippers, little tummies, a box of diapers, and a box of wipes -- things no one else felt the need to buy/remembered. It was a life saver!
IMO, Baby showers are a gift, and beggers should not be choosers.
Edit: I guess I misunderstood the post. Sigh. Anyway.. I think what she did was tacky. Dont ask for things at a party thrown by others for you, to give you gifts, imo.
Jennifer (24) + Johnny (25) = Caitlin Lena (11/22/10)
"Oh look! Shes eating just like a real person!"
It was inappropriate. Totally. Gifts should be graciously accepted, not refused and dictated about.
And the mother-to-be does not make a good point. I didn't know the sex of my baby before he was born. So we got duckies and giraffes on yellow onesies and towels. No biggie. We got an Old MacDonald crib bumper and zoo animal sheets. My breast pump is a breast pump. My bottles are bottles. Ditto for my changing pad and diaper pail, carseat and stroller. No gender implied. "Goodnight Moon" and "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?" are beloved by boys and girls. I've been to many showers where the gender was unknown, and there has never been a problem with people giving thoughtful, useful gifts.
OP, I would have backed out of that shower or refused to pass on the 'giftcard only' rule to the other guests.
"The purpose ... was to stir the pot. Do not let her make you into the spoon." - Daffodildaisy
i just went to a baby shower that was like this. they had big ticket items they needed to buy (crib, stroller/carseat etc) and knew most people arent going to go out and buy them those items. they asked for gift cards so they could put them together to buy what they needed. her sister (the shower hostess) put together a freakin sweet beach items raffle (really nice beach towels, suncreen, beach bag etc) and for every pack of diapers you bring you get a raffle ticket. i thought that was a great idea. people also brought little baby items as well to open. i received mostly giftcards from out of state family members (totaled to 800$ all for target). we sent them baby shower invites, even though we knew they couldnt go we still wanted them to know we were thinking about them and wish they could come. either way, those gift cards were a damn life saver. i got so many newborn onesies and random stuff at my shower. granted we werent depending on a shower to get the things we needed, but i would be lying if i said those gift cards werent a huge help.
eta: my baby shower wasnt like my friends. we just stated that we registered at target and asked for guests to not buy anything newborn sized. oh and we requested that guests bring a signed children's book, rather than a card.
I want/like GC's at a shower, for the reason PP stated. But, IMO yes, it is rude to ask for a gift free shower and only for GC's.
Do people have birthday parties or weddings where gift cards/money are requested? No. So why would it be ok to do it with a baby shower?
eta: my baby shower wasnt like my friends. we just stated that we registered at target and asked for guests to not buy anything newborn sized. oh and we requested that guests bring a signed children's book, rather than a card.
Honestly, it would bother me if someone requested signed children's books instead of cards. Since when does a card equal the price of a book?

Infrastructure Underfunding Threatens to Erode Living Standards
By Ben Dummett
Steady underfunding of roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects in Canada over more than four decades is threatening to erode the country's standard of living, a new study warns.
The Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives, or CCPA, found public investment in infrastructure steadily declined from its peak in the late 1950s – when it represented 3% of Canada's gross domestic product – until around 2005.
"The cumulative effect of this underinvestment means we are missing 145 billion Canadian dollars ($145.15 billion) worth of infrastructure," Hugh Mackenzie, an economist and author of the study, said in a statement. "That's a lot of new roads, bridges, and buildings we're missing—not to mention missing maintenance on our existing infrastructure."
Infrastructure underpins a country's economic and social health by ensuring everything from a community having access to safe drinking water to making sure people can get to their jobs on time and conduct commerce. As CCPA suggests, that means a country's economic and social development is at risk if its existing infrastructure isn't maintained and expanded to accommodate growth — just ask commuters in some of Canada's biggest cities, such as Toronto and Vancouver, many of whom spend increasing amounts of their day stuck in traffic.
Stimulus programs introduced by Canada's federal and provincial government "temporarily" helped reverse the declining trend, but CCPA estimates it would take additional annual spending of up to C$30 billion for 10 years on top of current spending "to return infrastructure funding to historic levels."
CCPA describes itself as an independent, non-partisan research institute focused on social, economic and environmental justice issues.
The group blames the infrastructure funding gap in part on a shift in responsibility for public capital investment to local governments, particularly at the municipal level, from the more senior levels without a corresponding increase in transfer payments to provincial and local governments. In 2003, the federal government accounted for 13% of total capital investment, down from 34% in 1995," CCPA says. The provincial-government share remained unchanged over that period, while the municipal share rose to 48% from 27%, the study notes.
To narrow the gap, CCPA's recommendations include creating a more "robust and transparent governance structure…. that resists the tendency to use infrastructure funding as a political pork barrel…"

Teen With Mild Autism Missing in Brooklyn
Police are searching for a missing autistic teen last seen Friday at a Sheepshead Bay train station.
Eliceo Cortez, 14 years old, who suffers from a mild form of autism, was last spotted at the Q train station at Sheepshead Bay Road and Voorhies Avenue in Brooklyn at about 2:30 p.m.
His distraught mother, Nancy Reavis, said she's especially worried because, aside from traveling between his Ditmas Park home and Leonard M. Goldstein High School in Manhattan, Eliceo isn't normally out on his own.
Eliceo is six-foot-one inches tall and weighs 135 pounds. He has brown eyes, black close cropped hair and has a long scar down his back. He was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and black Converse high-top sneakers.
Ms. Reavis said that for the past six months, her son has frequently cut class at school, but was always found in another part of the building. He has never stayed out on his own overnight, she said.
"Wherever he's at come home – we're not mad at you," Ms. Reavis said. "We love him and miss him. Just come home."
Friday's disappearance of an autistic teen recalls a tragic case last year, in which autistic teen Avonte Oquendo, 14, walked out of his Queens school and sparked a massive search that included sweeps of subway tunnels.
Avonte's body was found in the East River four months later.
Anyone with information about Eliceo is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).

Development of biogenerics, perhaps more accurately termed biosimilars, today is more a function of intellectual property (IP) and politics rather than scientific factors. With the approval of biogenerics no longer hypothetical, the global industry must now determine pathways for efficient development. China's rapidly growing biopharmaceutical industry plays a significant role in the biogenerics picture. A key question, addressed in Advances in Biopharmaceutical Technology in China , a recent study conducted by BioPlan Associates and the Society for Industrial Microbiology, is whether China's biogenerics industry is moving in the right direction, or in a disorganized way with little consideration for IP issues (See Biopharm International , May 2007, "For Biopharma Considering China, Are IP Fears Unfounded?")
Most healthcare policymakers in China and in the West recognize that generic drugs are important to healthcare policy. Because biopharmaceuticals are currently among the most expensive therapeutics on the market and many blockbuster biopharmaceuticals are losing patent protection, the biogenerics industry will likely expand.
In China and India, where regulatory and IP standards for biogenerics are more liberal, a biogenerics industry is already thriving. In China, the presence of a substantial biogenerics industry reflects a growing need to provide modern healthcare to its domestic populations, at a reasonable cost. Although China sells its products primarily domestically, many US and European drug innovators struggle with the impact such biogenerics may have on commercialization opportunities and IP protection.BIOGENERICS AND BARRIERS TO EXPANSION
Biological products in China are mostly biosimilars or biogenerics of Western-invented products. This situation is changing as Chinese biopharmaceutical companies and venture capital firms invest in product innovation. However, the country's relatively low investment in R&D and the late development of its recombinant DNA technologies have resulted in most biologics production being based on non-Chinese IP. In recent years, however, government support has encouraged greater innovation in biological products marketed in China. Still, there are obstacles hindering the industry's success including the following:
China produces more generic drugs than any other country in the world. Since the 1950s, China has manufactured these products to supply its domestic demand. Today, generic drugs still dominate the Chinese pharmaceutical market. However, we are seeing more domestic innovation, and the market share of innovative drugs increased from 17% in 1997 to 20% in 2003.1 For healthcare policy, economic, and scientific reasons, generic drugs have played a key role in the Chinese pharmaceutical market and this trend will most likely continue in the future.
China began developing innovative drugs only recently. Its ability to innovate remains relatively limited, partly due to the current capital investment climate. In contrast, most Chinese drug manufacturers have produced generic drugs for several decades. China's technical competence in producing generic drugs and its advantage in raw materials have made the country a global off-patent crude drugs processing center.
In the early 1980s, the Chinese pharmaceutical industry began to modernize. However, Chinese pharmaceutical companies did not develop innovative drugs because of financial and technical obstacles. Patent laws were not a significant consideration. When China's patent law was first enacted (April 1985), it excluded drugs from patent protection. China's Drug Administration Law (July 1985) specified that pharmaceutical products that had never been manufactured in China were 'new drugs.'

SAN JOSE -- Bellarmine College Prep was on the brink of repeating as Central Coast Section Open Division champions Friday night.
But a goal-line stand by St. Ignatius sent the title game into overtime and another defensive stop gave the Wildcats an opportunity to write their own winning script.
Trailing by three points after Bellarmine was held to a field goal on the first possession of overtime, running back Elijah Dale dashed around the left side and into the end zone to give St. Ignatius a memorable 13-10 victory at San Jose City College.
The winning points came after Bellarmine chose to go for a tiebreaking touchdown from the 2-yard line rather than attempt a short field goal that would have given the top-seeded Bells a 10-7 lead with about a minute to play.
Bellarmine coach Mike Janda said the decision to go for the touchdown was "real tough. The players really felt like they could drive the ball in. We felt really confident we could get the yard. But they did a great job -- S.I. did the job and made the big play. Congratulations to them."
So the game went to an overtime period in which each team gets a possession 10 yards from the end zone. After two false start penalties moved Bellarmine to its 12, the Bells eventually called on Grant Bush to kick a 20-yard field goal.
The kick set the stage for St. Ignatius' winning score.
"It was so surreal," Dale said of his 10-yard overtime touchdown run. "There was a minute when I kind of blacked out once I passed (the goal line), then I had to remember I had to greet my team in the end zone because they did a good job blocking."
Said St. Ignatius quarterback Jack Stinn, "I don't know if I've ever felt this good in my whole entire life. We've been working four years for this, so hard, so many months, so many summers that you have to give up. Your friends are all having fun, and you're at school, 7 in the morning, working out.
"It all pays off with stuff like this. It's amazing."
Bellarmine (11-2) thought the script would be different. Though the Bells lost running back Joey Sanfilippo to a calf injury in the first quarter and reportedly were missing four players due to suspension -- Janda declined to comment on the latter, citing school policy -- the Bells held the lead much of the night.
And after Dale's 1-yard run tied the score 7-7 with 6:49 left, the Bells methodically drove from their 24 to the doorstep of the end zone. St. Ignatius was forced to use its three timeouts as Bells running back Kenneth Olugbode and quarterback K.J. Carta-Samuels ground out clutch yards.
But two yards from the goal line and 1:19 on the clock, Bellarmine elected not to attempt the field goal as Janda later noted that there are things that could go amiss in the kicking game. So the Bells instead put the ball in Olugbode's hands, and the senior was smothered beneath a pile of players. After the officials sorted things out, they determined Olugbode had not scored.
"We were hoping he was in," Janda said. "It was our best player with our best play. That gave us our best chance."
Bellarmine kept St. Ignatius (10-3) off the scoreboard for nearly 3½ quarters, but the Wildcats finally broke through to tie it at 7-7. After taking over at the Bellarmine 29 with 11:31 left, the Wildcats needed 11 plays to reach the end zone, and they did it mostly on the ground. Albert Waters' 13-yard run got St. Ignatius to the Bellarmine 14, and Dale's 12-yard run got the Wildcats to the 1. Two plays later, Dale scored.
Bellarmine couldn't have scripted a better start. The Bells received the opening kickoff and then chewed up nearly eight minutes as they drove 75 yards for the only points of the first three quarters.
Carta-Samuels scored on a 2-yard run. The junior carried seven times on the drive for 42 yards and finished with 101 yards in 22 attempts.
Sanfilippo's 13-yard run moved Bellarmine to the 5, but the play came at a price for the Bells. Sanfilippo limped off the off the field and did not return.
"We were a full team," Janda said. "When one player goes down and is not able to play, the other guys have to step up. Our guys battled their hearts out. They did it the whole game. We just came up a little short."
It was an emotional ending to a season that most likely would have continued in a Northern California regional game next week had the Bells won. Now, St. Ignatius is expected to get invited to the regional.
"I'm sure there are so many other teams out there that have never beat Bellarmine," Stinn said. "We just did it for everyone who hasn't. It was awesome."
