In the early days of digital imaging there was no such thing as a wide angle lens on a point-and-shoot digicam. We were stuck with cameras that offered fields-of-view limited to the equivalents of 35 to 38mm lenses on a 35mm camera, mostly due to the technical difficulties involved in maintaining edge sharpness with shorter focal-length optics and digital imaging sensors. As a result we often found ourselves backing into the coat closet in order to get a decent shot ofeverybody on the living room couch, or darn-near falling off the back of the boat trying to snap a shot of the big fish that didn't get away.
Nowadays, thanks to advances in optical design, pixels capped with micro-lenses, and other manifestations of digital Voodoo, wide-angle aficionados (myself included) have a variety of digicams to choose from. So if your mind's eye yearns to shoot through lenses that emulate the field-of-view of optics 28mm and wider, here's a line up � alphabetically by manufacturer - of digicams that should set your spirit free.
Canon's contribution to the mix is the PowerShot SD870 IS , which is the wide angle sibling of Canon's successful SD-series digicams. Built around a Digic III-powered 8Mp (1/2.5") imaging sensor, the PowerShot SD870 IS features an image-stabilized 4.6 to 17.3mm power zoom that emulates the field of view of a 28 to 105mm lens on a 35mm camera. The lens focuses down to 1.2" at the wide end of the focal range, and has a maximum aperture of f/2.8 and f/5.5 at the long end.
The PowerShot SD870 IS has smooth, tapered lines and is available in silver or black (actually silver with a black 'raccoon eye' around the lens -see photo). For still imaging there are 6 levels of JPEG compression, 8 levels of video including 0.5 fps time lapse up to 2 hours. ISO sensitivity can be set from 80 to 1600 in 14 shooting modes. Images can be previewed and edited using the SD870's 3" TFT LCD screen. Power is courtesy of a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which is included with a charger.
Casio has two offerings in the wide angle arena starting with the ultra-thin (0.8") Exilim EX-Z100, which is available in blue, silver, pink, and brown. Packing a 10.1 Mp (1/2.3") CCD, the Exilim EX-Z100 can shoot jpegs at 7 levels of image compression and video clips at 8 levels including high-quality H.264 and a 640x480 @ 30fps 'YouTube mode. There's also a Movie button conveniently located near the shutter button that allows instant switching from stills to video without having to fumble through the menus.
The lens on the EX-Z100 is a 4.9 to 19.6mm zoom that covers the field of a traditional 28 to 112mm lens. The f-stop range goes from f/2.6 at the wide end, f/5.8 at the long end, and focuses down to 3.9".
One of the cool - and kinda' spooky - features of the EX-Z100 is an auto-tracking AF system that in addition to Face Detection can detect a smile as well as the mid-point of a handshake in order to snag the best moment in time. You can even program the camera to recognize up to 6 specific faces in a group to better ensure you get the 'right folks' smiling at the 'right' time. Like I said� some of these features are kinda' spooky, but some folks eat this stuff up. For editing and playback of all these 'perfect' photos, recorded images can be scrolled through at up to 10 images-per-second on the camera's 2.7" Super Clear' LCD display. Aside from SD compatibility, the Exilim EX-Z100 contains 12.1Mb of built-in memory, and powers off a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that's good for up to 200 snaps.
If all of the features found on the Exilim EX-Z100 warm your cockles but you tend to shoot under lower-than-normal lighting conditions, have a look-see at the Casio Exilim EX-Z200, which features Casio's CCD-Shift Image Stabilization system to better ensure sharp imagery in addition to all of the cool bells & whistles found in the EX-Z100. Fashion hounds should also note the Exilim EX-Z200 is available in black, silver, and red.
From Nikon we have the Nikon CoolPix S600 , a compact pocket-shooter that is clad in a solid and rather sexy slate gray finish. The CoolPix S600 packs a 10Mp (1/2.3") CCD and gathers images through a VR-Stabilized 5.0 to 20mm (28 to 112mm equivalent) zoom lens, and a maximum aperture of f/2.7 at the wide end of the focal range. For macro shooting the CoolPix S600 focuses down to 1.2".
The CoolPix S600 shoots JPEGs at 6 levels of compression and video at 5 levels of compression (including time-lapse) with recording times limited to the capacity of your memory card. In addition to 15 Scene Modes, the S600 has 7 Color Modes that include Normal, Vivid, Portrait, Black-and-White, Sepia, Cool, and Pastel.
In the autofocus department, the CoolPix S600 sports advanced Face-Priority (up to 12 faces in a scene) and what is delightfully described as an 'Active Child mode', which is designed to capture the kiddies regardless of how much sugar and food coloring is rushing through their veins. More pedestrian features include auto red-eye reduction and D-Lighting for insuring maximum detail in the shadows and highlights in your image files.
For low-light shooting, ISO ratings go up to 3200. There's also an 'Auto ISO' setting that automatically sets the ISO from 100 to 800 depending on the ambient light range. Images can be stored on SD/SDHC memory cards or in a pinch, the camera's 45MB of built-in memory.
Hitting the beach this summer? Going kayaking, or maybe scaling the slopes of the Himalayas? Or maybe you simply want a digicam tough enough to take an abnormal amount of abuse.
Olympus has been stepping up to the plate for the past couple of years with its 'tougher-than-nails' SW-series digicams. Their current wide-angled toughie is the Olympus Stylus 1030SW , which features a 10.1Mp (1/2.35") CCD sensor, a 5.0 to 18.2mm (28 to 102mm equivalent) zoom lens, and all the usual bells & whistles, i.e. 8 levels of JPEG, 3 levels of video, Red-eye Fix, Lighting Fix, and 27 shooting modes including 'Cuisine Mode' (no joke!), and on and on and on�
But what makes the Stylus 1030SW truly cool is it's ability to shoot down to 33' under the waves without a housing, survive a drop of 6.6' onto concrete, withstand a crushing 220 lbs of pressure, and shoot in temperatures down to -14�F. As soon as you pick it up, you realize this little digicam can take a licking from Uncle Paulie along with other forms of abuse that would normally stop cameras costing far more than a few hundred bucks dead in their tracks. And it ain't bad looking in green� don'tcha think?
Panasonic offers the broadest selection of wide-angle digicams starting with the Lumix DMC-TZ4 , which is available in black and silver. Packing an 8.1 megapixel (1/2.5") CCD, the DMC-TZ4 boasts a Leica-designed 4.6 to 46mm optical zoom that takes in the whopping field-of-view of a 28 to 280mm lens. As with all Panasonic Lumix digicams the TZ4 utilizes MEGA Optical Image Stabilization, which incorporates built-in gyro-stabilizers, and Intelligent ISO (up to ISO 6400) to ensure sharp pictures.
Images come up on a 2.5" LCD that adjusts to ambient lighting conditions. The Lumix DMC-TZ4 can display photos of maps, timetables, menus, and other travel related items you have photographed� with image and location ID - in a special folder that can be called up in a jiffy. The same folder can be used for storing most any other image files you need or want to access on a regular basis.
Other features include Face Detection (up to 15 faces in any given scene), 22 scene modes, quick shutter response times, burst-rates up to 10 f/p/s, and 16:9 Wide VGA video at 30 f/p/s or 10 f/p/s with enhanced picture quality. You can also shoot standard VGA and QVGA for email and web applications. The Lumix DMZ-TZ4 contains 27Mb of built-in memory and accepts SD/SDHC and MMC memory cards.
A step up the food chain is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 , which contains all of the features found on the TZ4 albeit with a 9.0 megapixel (1/2.33") sensor, a larger 3" LCD display, and 1280x720 HD resolution at 30 or 15 f/p/s, and the ability to zoom while recording video. The DMC-TZ5 is available in Blue, Silver, and Black.
Need to go wider? The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 has a 5x, 25 to 125mm equivalent Leica DC Vario-Elmarit lens that opens up to fast-for-its-class f/2.8 at the wide end of the zoom range. Along with a 10.1 megapixel sensor, Mega O.I.S and Intelligent ISO Control, 9-point AF, and 20 Scene Modes (including a simple Auto mode), the DMC-FX500 combines a 3" Touch Screen LCD display that works in conjunction with a conventional 'joystick' controlled menu system.Aside from 1920x1080 HD imaging, video buffs can take advantage of HD video at 1280x720p at a smooth 30 f/p/s. The DMC-FX500 contains 50MB of built-in memory, accepts SD/SDHC memory cards, and is available in Black and Silver.
Equally wide, though a bit shorter on the tele end is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35 , which features a 25 to 100mm equivalent Leica DC Vario-Elmarit zoom, 10.1 megapixel sensor, and a 2.5" LCD screen.
Samsung's entry to the party also has a rather rugged look and feel about it, though you shouldn't take it diving. The Samsung NV24HD is a smartly-designed, solid-feeling digicam that features a dual image-stabilized 4.3 to 15.5mm Schneider Optics zoom lens that takes in the whopping field-of-view of a 24mm wide angle lens, and zooms out to the equivalent of an 86.5mm lens for snapping portraits and short-tele images.
From a design point-of-view, the NV24HD is quite different from the rest of the crowd from any angle. It's tapered where it should be, rubberized where it should be, and feels secure in your hand the moment you pick it up.
The 'Smart Touch' interface controls are particularly interesting to use. Alongside the 2.5" AMOLED LCD screen there are a row of horizontal and vertical menu buttons that highlight the various camera settings as you scroll your finger across them. Once you try it a few times, it becomes intuitively easy to use.
Among the various camera settings are 5 levels of Sharpness, Contrast, and Saturation, 7 levels of JPEG compression, 4 levels of Video, 8 Photo Style modes, 7 Color Modes, along with Face Detection, RedEye Reduction, and other useful image enhancing tools. The Samsung NV24HD uses SD/SDHC memory cards and includes 16MB of built-in memory.
Last but not least in our wide angle hit parade comes from Sigma in the form of the Sigma DP-1 , which is quite different from the other cameras listed above for several reasons. First off, the Sigma DP-1 utilizes a FOVEON X3 Direct Image CMOS Sensor. Secondly, the DP-1 is the only fixed focal length camera in the mix, specifically a 16.4mm lens that when used with the DP-1's 20.7 x 13.8mm imaging sensor, is the equivalent to a 28mm lens on a full-frame 35mm camera. What else is there to tell you about this camera? Stay tuned, because next month we're featuring a full-blown road test with this interesting digicam.

She booked the room for us, and we were excited about our weekend plans. We decided to call the hotel directly to find out the check in time. The person who worked the front desk at the hotel informed us that they did not even have ANY whirlpool suites in their entire hotel. We immediately called Vacations Made Easy to cancel the reservation. We were told there were no refunds, and that all we could have was a voucher for a future purchase. We did not want a voucher, as it was obvious they do not know what they are doing over there, and didn't need the hassle.
We were told to call back to talk to a supervisor (Tori), because IF we did get a refund, she was the only one able to authorize that. The remainder of our weekend was spent leaving message after message for Tori, who never once returned our phone calls.
Concerned, I decided to contact the hotel directly to cancel our reservation, as I did not want to be charged for not showing up. The person at the hotel (Comfort Inns) was VERY nice and understanding of our situation. She cancelled our reservation and gave me a confirmation number stating that the credit card (submitted by Vacations Made Easy) would not be charged anything, due to the misunderstanding. She suggested we contact Vacations Made Easy and explain this to them, and perhaps they would be more willing to give us a refund.
Multiple phone calls to Vacations Made Easy later, with no returned call, we decided to stop calling and just dispute the charge with our credit card company. In fact, at one point, when we called them, the phone would ring once and automatically disconnect. We were no longer able to get through using that phone, and had to start calling with a different phone, just to get a representative who would tell us that Tori was "on another call" or "not in", and we should leave a message.
Finally, two days AFTER our reservation date had passed, Tori called us back. (We had not had a chance to contact our credit card company yet, so we heard her out.) She stated that since we did not show up for our reservation, and they had "no record" of any attempt by us to cancel in advance, we would not be given a refund. (Which is funny to me, because if you had no record that we tried to cancel, then how did you know to return our call?? Our multiple messages stated our intent to cancel and please return our call so that we could do so.)
In any event, my husband discussed the fact that their card was not charged, and the reservation was cancelled in advance, and would they please issue us a refund. Tori became very rude and stated that there were NO refunds and that we would only be eligible for a voucher - EVEN THOUGH they had provided us with an inadequate room, which was NOT what we had asked for. At this point, my husband told her that we would be disputing the charge with our credit card company, due to fraud and improper services rendered. Tori stated "do whatever you think you have to do." (I encourage anyone to do this, as well, because the credit card company actually charges the vendor a $25 minimum "charge back" fee if they find the customer is valid in their complaint, but the vendor neglected to issue a refund.)
We filed a formal complaint/dispute with our credit card company and were issued a full refund about a month or so later. We had to be patient, but we did get our money back (thank God) and will never be doing business with this shabby company again. I have also made sure to post on my Facebook as well as here and anywhere else that will allow public complaints about the way this company does business and the rude way that we were treated.
I hope I helped anyone who may have been considering doing business with this company.... DO NOT DO IT!!!

JOURNEYS; 36 Hours | Banff, Alberta
By BRUCE HEADLAM
Published: November 29, 2002
THERE are higher towns in the Canadian Rockies, but Banff in late fall is about as close to heaven as one can get. The breathtaking mountain scenery is highlighted by the dark boughs of evergreen trees, and the town's grand hotels and fine restaurants feel less hurried after the summer tourist crush has receded and before the area is completely overrun by skiers and snowboarders. And thanks in part to the Banff Center for the Arts, the town has a cultural life that few resort towns enjoy. So bring your hiking boots and dress in layers: you could wake to find eight inches of snow on the ground, or a chinook wind having turned the air balmy. If you're lucky, you'll get both. BRUCE HEADLAM
3:30 p.m.
1. First Steps
Warm up your hiking muscles with a walk along rugged Lake Minnewanka, nicknamed the Devil's Lake for the creature that is supposed to live in its cold waters. Drive north out of Banff for 15 minutes, following the signs to the lake, and then park near the launch of Lake Minnewanka Boat Tours. Follow the path along the west side of the lake, then take the trail to the bridge at Cascade River. Drink in the mountain scenery while looking out for bighorn sheep along the shore and listening for the howls of distant wolves. On the way back to Banff, stop at Bankhead, the remnant of a coal-mining town that fed Canada's first cross-country railroad. Walk along the Cirque Trail past the remnants of the mine buildings and shafts, or take the short walk to upper Bankhead and sing along with that Gordon Lightfoot song going through your head.
8 p.m.
2. Wild Game
If you're not easily intimidated by graduate-level cuisine and encyclopedic wine lists, take Mountain Avenue to the Eden restaurant in the Rimrock Resort Hotel (800-661-1587 or 800-762-1840). In its dark-paneled dining rooms overlooking the town, Eden offers four different tasting menus (ranging from $48 to $70, all amounts in American dollars), each with multiple courses that stress Western fare (caribou, arctic char, Alberta lamb), as interpreted by the inventive chef. The attentive waiters -- more like consultants, really -- walk you through each course, and the sommelier will match your meal with a bottle from the restaurant's vast cellar. Those who prefer their food and surroundings a little rougher can try Grizzly House (207 Banff Avenue, 403-762-4055), a Western-kitsch restaurant where you can cook your own combination of exotic game (buffalo, rattlesnake, ostrich) over hot rocks at your table.
8 a.m.
3. Day Breaks
Early morning -- before the tour buses are herded into town -- is the quietest time of day in Banff, so take the opportunity for a leisurely stroll down Banff Avenue. Join the locals for coffee and superb mixed-berry muffins ($1) at Evelyn's Coffee Bar (201 Banff Avenue, 403-762-0352) where shopkeepers congregate before opening for business.
9 a.m.
4. Happy Trails
Walk south from Evelyn's, turn left just before the downtown bridge and find the paved walking trail marked Bow Falls. The trail follows the river past the falls and then briefly joins with a paved road before descending into the Bow Valley. The trail will carry you through the deep forest that runs along the river, then up a moderately steep incline to Tunnel Mountain. The path forks in places, but there is no need to have a Robert Frost moment: all the trails converge eventually. Stop along the way to admire the view of the morning sun over the Rockies; then follow Tunnel Mountain Road east to the Banff Hoodoos, free-standing pillars that have separated from the mountain's side. Walk back along Tunnel Mountain Road into town. From downtown, drive or take Banff's convenient Banff Avenue bus to the base station of the Banff Gondola (403-762-2523). Take the eight-minute ride, $13 for adults, to the upper terminal and then follow the Vista Trail up to Sanson Peak. Admire the views from all sides as you wander around the 1902 weather station. Hikers looking for more of a challenge may want to skip both the Bow Falls Trail and the tramway ride to brave the steep hiking trail up the side of Sulphur Mountain. In the thin air you'll feel every step of the three-mile hike, but the view from Sanson Peak seems that much more rewarding. As a bonus, the tramway back down the mountain is free.
12 p.m.
5. Soak It Up
Time to ease your sore muscles. Follow the signs from the tramway parking lot to the historic Banff Upper Hot Springs (403-762-1515) and slip into one of the spring's 105-degree outdoor pools, fed by naturally heated spring water. Lie back and enjoy the spectacular mountain scenery. If you're fortunate, a few snowflakes may fall on your bare stomach as you bob in the sulphurous pool.
2:30 p.m.
6. Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea, a splendid British tradition, has never looked quite so splendid as it does at the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel, the magnificent former railroad lodge known locally as the castle. Tea is served every afternoon in the Rundle Lounge ($17). Sit back in the overstuffed chairs with a pot of the hotel's own blend, some scones, pastries and, of course, cucumber sandwiches, and enjoy the serene view of the Bow Valley: the hotel recommends booking in advance (403-762-6860) for a window seat, but every table has its rewards. Allow yourself a few extra minutes to poke around the hotel's nooks, especially the baronial dining halls and exquisite wine bars, and to pick up a package of tea from the hotel's pantry shop.
4 p.m.
7. Mountain Shopping

Shumlin's father dies after illnessApril 12,2014Shumlin's father
dies after illness
MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin's 88-year-old father has died.
In a statement issued by his office, Shumlin said his father, George Shumlin, died at his Westminster West home Thursday surrounded by his children and his wife.
The cause of death was not released, but he had been ill and the governor missed several appeatrances Thurday to be with him.
George Shumlin and his wife settled in Vermont in 1955. He worked as an actor, a stage manager and director in regional and summer theaters, on Broadway and in network television.
Later in life, he taught at the Putney School and Arizona's Verde Valley School.
George Shumlin and his wife founded Putney Student Travel.
He is survived by Kitty, his wife of 62 years, three children and five grandchildren.
The governor said a private celebration of his father's life will be held at a later date.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A Sandgate man with a previous conviction for a sex crime against a child in New...

What work do the categories "the free market" and "regulation" do for us? Why do we incarcerate one out of every one hundred adults? These seemingly unrelated questions, it turns out, are deeply interconnected. The categories of free and regulated markets emerged as an effort to make sense of irreducibly individual phenomena—unique forms of social organization.
What if consumer contracts were legally enforceable only against the consumers, but not against the business? The idea of "one-way contracts," to which consumers are bound but the businesses are not, is offered as a basis to explore alternative, non-legal consumer protections.
Most of what we think about as "law" involves a background rule that conduct is legal with an exception for what lawmakers define as illegal. But there are several other ways in which law is made. The most obvious is the concept of a "safe harbor," where the background rule is that conduct is illegal with an exception for what lawmakers define as legal.
This Chicago's Best Ideas lecture was recorded May 2, 2009, as part of the Law School's annual reunion festivities. Douglas Baird is Harry A. Bigelow Distinguished Service Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School.
Legal scholars praise "incrementalism" and "minimalism" in law, which is to say the idea that law should progress in small steps and lawmakers should intervene less rather than more. But the acclaim for these approaches ignores the role of interest groups in our legal system.
We are all familiar with the Nanny State: governments telling us what we can put in our bodies, to wear seatbelts, not to talk on our cell phones while driving, and so on. But governments are not the only institutions that act paternalistically—we are seeing the rise of the Nanny Corporation.

This one time, at band camp…
This one time, at band camp…
I feel naked. And, I have the vapors.
Quick! Someone fetch me my diamond-studded bathrobe and, oh yes, my pearls for clutching.
As in, guaranteed date with a jury.
Oh, you thought I was going to tell you how to avoid a retaliation lawsuit? You're so cute that way.
Are you prepared to address drug- and alcohol-related disabilities and leave issues under the FMLA and ADA?
At some time in their lives, millions of Americans have abused drugs and alcohol. While many are in recovery, others continue their struggle. Inevitably, your workforce will feel the impact.
Join this new discussion to learn about the applicable employment laws, available accommodations and leave options under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and hear recent court cases and legislation and take away some best practices you/your organization can use.
I teased it in Friday's post.
Last week, a Michigan federal court held (here) that a workplace dress code that requires one gender to conform to a sex stereotype (e.g., men must wear suits, and women must wear dresses) is "direct evidence" of sex discrimination. But, the employer in the Michigan case refused to waver from the letter of the dress code, and avoided a sex discrimination claim under Title VII.
Why? Because Hobby Lobby.
Just for today, head on over to LinkedIn, and check out my post about how strict application of your dress code could result in a nasty sex discrimination claim.
(And a little teaser for Monday — I'll explain why the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision may trump Title VII and allow some employers to discriminate).
It is fairly common for Major League Baseball pitchers to have music played when they enter a ballgame. For example, the great Mariano Rivera famously entered games in the ninth inning to Metallica's Enter Sandman. Aroldis Chapman (pictured above), can hurl a baseball 103 miles per hour with his left hand. He enters games to the sweet soothing Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine.
Except, something changed earlier this week.
We know from Friday's post that 89% of you are federal wage and hour minimum-wage all-stars. To celebrate, and because I love each and every one of you, the least I could do is hook you up with the U.S. Department of Labor's new Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) Minimum Wage Poster.

If you live in Vermont – or you're considering living there – you've probably heard about the state's all-in approach to healthcare reform. More than any other state, Vermont is going above and beyond with ACA implementation, requiring all individual policies to be purchased through the exchange and planning a transition to a single-payer system in 2017.
But there are plenty of other aspects of overall public health and healthcare reform that might be of interest to you. Here's a summary of health and healthcare in Vermont:
Vermont health ratings
When it comes to overall health, Vermont is tied with Minnesota for #1 in the nation by The Commonwealth Fund's Scorecard on State Health System Performance 2015. The state held the same second place spot in 2009 and 2014. The state's scorecard includes details on how the rankings are determined.
Vermont is also ranked second out of the 50 states in the 2014 edition of America's Health Rankings; on this scoring system, Hawaii is the only state to top Vermont. The state's low percentage of uninsured residence and low crime rate are among its biggest strengths. It also has a well-educated population with the 5th highest high school graduation rate in the country.
Despite being ranked above nearly all states, there are still challenges in Vermont: low levels of immunization, which is relatively common in affluent states with a highly educated population, a large disparity in health status among people with different education levels, and a high incidence of binge drinking.
Trust for America's Health published 2015 Key Health Data About Vermont that includes rankings for the state across a wide variety of specific diseases and health outcome predictors. And this interactive map created by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation lets you compare health factors and outcomes on a county-by-county basis in Vermont.
Vermont and the Affordable Care Act
In 2010, both of Vermont's U.S. Senators, Bernie Sanders and Jeff Leahy, voted yes on the Affordable Care Act. In the House, the lone Vermont representative also voted yes. All three are still in congress and still supportive of the health care reform law.
Gov. Peter Shumlin is not only supportive of the ACA, he's the first governor in the country to actively pursue the clause in the law that allows states to take it one step further and eventually implement a state-based single-payer system. Green Mountain Care was set to begin as early as 2017, but the state abandoned its progress toward a single-payer system at the end of 2014, although it still has its proponents.
In November 2014, Gov. Shumlin defeated Republican Scott Milne by about 2,400 votes. But since neither candidate garnered more than 50 percent of the popular vote, it came down to the state legislature to determine the outcome of the governor's race. Ultimately, Shumlin retained the governorship for a third two-year term.
For the time being, Vermont has expanded Medicaid under the ACA and is running its own exchange, Vermont Health Connect. Unlike most states, Vermont does not allow policies to be sold outside the exchange, so the exchange has been very successful at enrolling a large percentage of the state's eligible population – 85 percent by the end of the first open enrollment period.
How did Obamacare help Vermont?
In 2012, about 6.8 percent of Vermont residents did not have health insurance – far lower than the national average and the fourth highest rate in the country. Thirty-six percent of the uninsured population was expected to be eligible for expanded Medicaid or CHIP, and the exchange had signed up 85 percent of its potential private plan enrollees by the end of the first open enrollment period.
The state's uninsured rate fell 1.5 percentage points to 7.4 from 2013 to 2014. By June 2015, it had dropped to 4.6 percent according to the findings of a Gallup poll. However, another survey found the state's uninsured rate to be just 3.7 percent. Either way, the Green Mountain State is among the states with the highest number of insured people – only second to Massachusetts. Only 1 percent of Vermont's children are uninsured – the lowest number in the country.
Vermont enrollment in qualified health plans
Near the end of 2013, the Kaiser Family Foundation estimated that Vermont's exchange had a potential market of 45,000 residents and that 27,000 of them would qualify for premium subsidies to reduce the cost of their coverage. By mid-April 2014, at the end of the first open enrollment period, almost all of them – 38,048 people – had finalized their qualified health plan selections in the Vermont exchange.
During 2015 open enrollment, there were fewer individuals who selected private plans through Vermont Health Connect. Effectuated private enrollment was 33,306 by June, down slightly from 34,923 in March. Of the remaining enrollees, about 64 percent had plans with advanced premium tax credits and 32 percent received cost-sharing reductions.
However, these first two years involved some technical problems for Vermont's exchange, which resulted in significant system backlogs. On Oct. 1, 2015, Gov. Shumlin announced that progress had been made along with technology upgrades, and things looked promising for 2016 open enrollment.
Two carriers will sell QHPs through Vermont Health Connect – there are no off-exchange plans in Vermont: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont and MVP Health Care. Delta Dental plans are also available on the exchange.
Vermont's individual health insurance rates have been the fifth highest in the nation, partly because of the low level of competition in the exchange, and partly because the population is older than average and the state uses community rating, with premiums that are not based on an insured's age.
For 2016 plans, Vermont regulators approved a 5.5 percent weighted average rate increase for the individual market; the carriers had proposed a weighted average increase of 7.75 percent for the individual market.
Five navigator organizations received grants to fund Vermont's enrollment assistance process from July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016.
Vermont Medicaid/CHIP enrollment
Utilizing federal funds to expand Medicaid eligibility to 138 percent of poverty has played a significant role in Obamacare's success in Vermont. As of mid-April 2014, a total of 41,704 people had enrolled in Medicaid through the Vermont exchange.
By August 2015, Vermont's average monthly Medicaid enrollment had increased by 25,455 people from before expansion – a 16 percent change.
Eligible applicants can enroll in Medicaid at any time during the year, so that number is continuing to increase, further reducing the state's uninsured rate.
What is Vermont's health insurance history?
Before the ACA, Vermont was one of only a handful of states where individual health insurance was not medically underwritten; this had been the case since 1992. That means that medical history was not used to determine eligibility for coverage. In addition to guaranteed issue policies, the state also utilized community rating, so premiums were not higher for older insureds.
Although these are good measures to protect consumers, they are not necessarily beneficial for health insurance carriers looking to make a profit, and the market had destabilized significantly by 2006. The legislature passed a measure in that year that contained a variety of reforms, and the ACA later piggy-backed nicely on what Vermont was already doing.
Because Vermont had a law that required all policies to be guaranteed issue, there was no need for a state-run high-risk pool prior to the ACA, but the law did still provide PCIP coverage in Vermont starting in 2010.
Medicare enrollment in the state of Vermont
Vermont Medicare enrollment reached 130,581 in 2015, which is about 21 percent of its population. About 17 percent of the U.S. population is enrolled in Medicare. Historically, 80 percent have qualified based on age and 20 percent due to disability.
Medicare spends about $8,719 annually per enrollee in Vermont. The state ranks 47th in overall Medicare spending with $941 million each year.
Medicare Advantage plans are available to Vermont residents who want additional benefits. These plans are selected instead of Original Medicare, and about 7.6 percent of Vermont Medicare enrollees choose Medicare Advantage over a traditional plan – far below the 32 percent of Medicare beneficiaries who make that choice on a national scale. Vermont Medicare recipients can also select Medicare Part D plans and about 65 percent do, compared with 43 percent nationwide.
State-based health reform legislation
Vermont's proactive approach to healthcare reform means there is plenty of healthcare-related legislative action in the state. Here's a summary of recent Vermont bills:

Trying to create a coming attractions list for movies. Some last a week and are entered as recurring events. Some last one day and are entered as events (also with a category #2 assigned).
<?php if (class_exists('EM_Events')) {
echo EM_Events::output( array('limit'=>0,'orderby'=>'event_start_date','recurring'=>1,'scope'=>'customfuture', 'format'=>'

#_EVENTLINK

#_EVENTIMAGE{100,150}
#_EVENTNOTES
Starts #M #j

') );
} ?>
This gives me a list of the recurring events (one instance of each). How can I also add in the events that are assigned category #2?
Do I need to run two separate $args = em_get_events loops (one with 'recurring=>1' and one with 'category=>2') and then combine them into one output all sorted by event start date? How would I add the $args to the output array and get the 'orderby' right?

MTV: The Music Never Stops
To launch MTV's new concept - The music never stops - we used one of music's universal symbols: the band t-shirt. We selected t-shirts of artists of different generations. Then we cut them in half and sewed the halves together. On one side, an artist of the current generation. On the other, an artist who influenced him. Over 2,500 models were delivered to four different states in Brazil. VJs and musicians wore them on MTV and were watched by millions. It was made clear to the public. Just like music, MTV never stops.

Not a day for thunderApril 18,2013It sounded like thunder, improbable in retrospect on what was such a spotless New England spring day.
But other explanations for the single burst of noise that briefly rattled the Boston Marathon media center at the Fairmont Copley Plaza hotel were plausible enough that fear of the worst was momentarily fleeting: That sounded like a bomb, I thought. Then, having filed my story on the elite race winners, I went to get a cup of coffee. It was 2:52 p.m.
I was two steps out of the ballroom that serves as the media nerve center when I ran into colleague Eric Wilbur. He had just been out on Boylston Street, talking to finishers for his assignment. Blood was absent from his face.
Did you hear that? That was a bomb, he said. Two of them. Seconds apart. This is serious [expletive]. Its chaos.
I ran back to my station to collect my phone and notepad, but it was already too late.
We were immediately put in lockdown. No one was allowed to leave the hotel. National Guardsmen soon took posts at the doors.
But those on the outside reporters, volunteers, runners and their families and friends entered in search of shelter from the scene, gradually filling the long hallways.
On a couch in the lobby, Joan Benoit Samuelson, who just a little more than an hour before had achieved her goal of finishing the race in 2 hours and 50 minutes, sat on a couch as a friend consoled her. Im shaken but OK, she said. I just hope everyone outside is.
The gravity of the situation became apparent from the fear on the faces of those who had come in from outside and the gruesome stories they brought with them.
A colleague who had been no more than 20 yards from the first explosion arrived in the media center, tears welling in his eyes as he spoke of witnessing a man lose a leg at the knee.
A volunteer said lanyards were being used by first responders as tourniquets.
The horrific anecdotes were soon accompanied by numbers. Two deaths. At least 28 injured. A strange incident at the JFK Library, and reports of other suspicious devices around the city.
Context may be within reach today for some, but damned if I can find it. We dont know who did this. We dont know if it was a sinister mastermind or a random lunatic.
We dont know if were safe, or if there is more to come. We dont know.
What we do know is that he or she or they knew preciselywhat they were doing, their act of terror timed for significant chaos and casualties.
We do know that Patriots Day will forever be accompanied by solemnity and sadness, a reminder that this happened in our city, on our uniquely Boston day.
And know this: That every clap of thunder will now bring unease and fear, leaving us to quickly pray and plead that were not about to underestimate the devastation just outside the door.

Why Doesn't Tesla Just Use Dealerships To Sell Its Cars?
Earlier this week, auto dealers in Michigan successfully manipulated the state's lawmakers to clarify that the only way any car company can sell any vehicles in Michigan is through franchised auto dealers. A handful of other states have similar laws banning Tesla or any other car company from selling their products straight to consumers. So why doesn't Tesla just give in and work with dealers? [More]

Michigan May Be Latest To Ban Direct Sales Of Teslas
Because car dealerships don't want to move beyond an era of gladhanding salesman upselling customers on unnecessary add-ons — and because they apparently want to give electric car company Tesla as much free advertising as possible — they are pushing for Michigan to enact legislation preventing carmakers from selling directly to consumers in the state.

The Nuka-Cola Corporation was a pre-War softdrink manufacturer, well known for its eponymous Nuka-Cola line of products.
Nuka-Cola was invented in 2044 by John-Caleb Bradberton. Its unique taste gained widespread popularity quickly, ending with it becoming the most popular soft drink in the United States with an extremely dedicated following. The widely known dazzling blue bottle color was adopted as standard in 2052, after market research programs indicated that the blue color was the favorite in 86 people out of a hundred polled.
The ingredients of Nuka-Cola are: carbonated water, caramel color, aspartame, phosphoric acid, potassium benzoate (to protect taste), natural flavors, citric acid, and caffeine. What gives it the unique flavor is the essence of seventeen different fruits mixed in just the right proportion to give the beverage its trademark taste. Some versions of the drink also include vitaminerals and health tonics. During the Great Passion Fruit Famine of 2044, people actually noticed the taste difference when the flavor was changed.
By 2067, vending machines with ice cold Nuka-Cola could be found on virtually every street in America.
Known facilitiesEdit
- Nuka-Cola plant in Newton - A large Nuka-Cola production plant in Kansas, and one of the town's most prominent sights before the war.
- Nuka-Cola plant in Washington, D.C. - The company's main factory, which used cutting-edge equipment to keep the world's most popular soft drink in full production 24 hours a day.
- Nuka-World - The company's own amusement/theme park.
Known productsEdit
Nuka-Cola was the most popular flavored soft drink in the United States before the Great War. After the War, Nuka-Cola remains one of the most popular soft drinks of the post-nuclear world, as much of it was preserved in a fairly pristine state, although it tends to be warm, irradiated, and flat. In Fallout 4, Nuka-Cola bottles take on a newer look.
Nuka-Cola ClearEdit
The company began to develop a product called Nuka-Cola Clear, with "only minimal loss of life." They were able to modify the look of Nuka-Cola, yet give it the same great taste. The formula and some entries on a research terminal can be found in the Nuka-Cola plant, but it never made it into production.
Nuka-Cola QuantumEdit
In 2077, a new version called Nuka-Cola Quantum was introduced. According to the advertisements, it had twice the calories, twice the carbohydrates, twice the caffeine and twice the taste. To make it stand out more on the shelves and to give it an extra kick, the Quantum included a mild radioactive strontium isotope[1] (and an eighteenth fruit flavor - pomegranate). The effect was a drink that not only boosted your energy, but also glowed with a bright blue light. While no ill effects were recorded by the Food and Drug Administration, the isotope also caused the drinker's urine to glow for almost a week.
Reports that can be obtained in the Nuka-Cola plant show that product development had not been without failures and casualties. All of the testers of the first batch died soon after consumption. The company found a suitable isotope in strontium-90. The product was made in small experimental groups, which were then sent out around Washington, D.C. for feedback. Unfortunately, while the product was being sent out for response, some of the packages were caught out in the Great War.
Nuka Cola Quantum was released to the public the same day the bombs dropped: October 23, 2077. Because of this, Nuka-Cola Quantum is incredibly rare in the wasteland, with many bottles found in trucks that were shipping the product, ravaged by the bombs.
Nuka-Cola QuartzEdit
Nuka-Cola Quartz is a flavor of Nuka-Cola unique to the American southwest, in a similar sort of situation to Nuka-Cola Quantum. It is a clear drink with a white tint and glow. This version of the soft drink also gives the drinker low-light vision, much like the effects given after taking Cateye.
Nuka-Cola VictoryEdit
Nuka-Cola Victory is another flavor of Nuka-Cola that is unique to the American southwest. It is colored orange, giving it a distinct look, much like the Nuka-Cola Quantum of the east coast.
Nuka CherryEdit
Nuka Cherry is a cherry-flavored variant of Nuka-Cola with red coloring that was distributed in the vicinity of Boston.
Cherry Nuka-ColaEdit
|The following is based on Fallout Tactics and some details might contradict canon.
Cherry Nuka-Cola is a variation of regular Nuka-Cola. After it was introduced, it turned out that nobody liked the taste. This resulted in a marketing disaster for the company, which quickly attempted to save the brand by introducing the Classic Nuka-Cola, tasting exactly like the original, but in a new bottle. The story of its introduction, rejection, and replacement by Classic Nuka-Cola mimics that of New Coke.
Classic Nuka-ColaEdit
|The following is based on Fallout Tactics and some details might contradict canon.
Classic Nuka-Cola tastes exactly like the original Nuka-Cola, but comes in a new bottle. It was an attempt at saving the brand after the marketing disaster that was Cherry Nuka-Cola.
Fusion Nuka-ColaEdit
|The following is based on Fallout Tactics and some details might contradict canon.
Phil, the Nuka-Cola dude, had the thankless job of riding around the Wasteland with his bike and refilling all of the Nuka-Cola machines that littered it. It was a tradition passed down (rather stupidly) from generation to generation. Phil was not impressed and doesn't like Nuka-Cola that much. It is rumored that he had something called Fusion Nuka-Cola, a unique, unknown taste which was created by fusing together some Nuka-Cola dregs into a concentrated essence.
Yellow Nuka-ColaEdit
|The following is based on Fallout Tactics and some details might contradict canon.
Yellow Nuka-Cola is a "variation" of regular Nuka-Cola, both yellow in color and with an "interesting" smell. In Chicago, during the Brotherhood of Steel's reign, there were reports of this strange yellow Nuka-Cola. However, it was quickly identified as a substance designed by a "mad naked man" who "made water." Considering this, and the fact that it's poisonous to anyone naive enough to actually drink it, it is apparent that the so-called cola is in fact a generous helping of urine.
Nuka-Cola truckEdit
The Nuka-Cola truck is a red die-cast metal toy delivery truck labeled with the corporate logo of Nuka-Cola on the right side. Nuka-Cola trucks are found in the Capital Wasteland and Vault-Tec Vaults. A number of trucks can also be found in the Mojave Wasteland, inside Miguel's Pawn Shop, at The Fort, and two inside a locker at the lab in Vault 11. They also appear randomly in letterboxes outside of houses, particularly in the Freeside area surrounding New Vegas.
The products of the Nuka-Cola Corporation appear in all Fallout games except for Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. Its plant in Washington, DC appears in Fallout 3.
Behind the scenesEdit
- During the 2008 E3 as a promotional item, people were given a real drinkable version of Nuka-Cola. It greatly resembles the 1950s look of the Coca-Cola brand bottles.
- During 2015/2016 a real version of Nuka Cola Quantum could be purchased online and in Target stores worldwide.[2]
- The name of the Nuka-Cola creator, John-Caleb Bradberton, is an amalgamation of the inventors of Coca-Cola (John Pemberton) and Pepsi-Cola (Caleb Bradham).
- Its logos, bottle designs, market crash, and even its name are heavily based on Coca-Cola.
- ↑ "This product is the pinnacle of taste sensation. Seventeen fruit flavors and that signature cola taste blend to form the perfect refreshing soft drink. With its new Strontium additive, its got that unique kick to keep you on your toes." – Milo, shipping foreman

TUSK: The Physics of Angels'
Published: Friday, May 15, 2009 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 14, 2009 at 9:35 p.m.
In Dan Browns novel Angels & Demons, the film adaptation of which opens today, a society called The Illuminati wants to use anti-matter to destroy the Vatican.
Particle physics
Speaker: University of Alabama Physics Professor Lou Clavelli
What: Lecture on particle physics in the context of Angels & Demons
When: 7:30 p.m. May 22
Where: Room 227 of Gallalee Hall on the UA campus.
In reality, the original Illuminati, a group of post-Enlightenment free thinkers, died out centuries ago, after a brief period of operation. Although the Bavarian Illuminati has been said to inspire numerous secret groups that exist and manipulate world events today, no evidence suggests thats true, beyond the ravings of conspiracy theorists.
A quarter of a gram of anti-matter, as posited in the book, coming into contact with matter in a tremendous burst of energy, could indeed easily blow up a city, said Lou Clavelli, a professor of physics at the University of Alabama, an explosion equal to about 12 megatons (one million tons) of TNT.
But at current rates of production it would take a million years to gather a quarter-gram of anti-matter, not to mention the enormous amounts of energy needed to create it. And the magnetic field required to contain that much anti-matter would have to be housed in a building-sized structure, not the convenient portable container of Browns book.
One has to be careful not to believe the things in the novel, Clavelli said, and to separate things that are true from things that are contrived.
CERN [a particle physics laboratory in the suburbs of Geneva, on the French-Swiss border] does exist, and it does create anti-matter on a daily basis.
The other 99 percent of Angels & Demons is fiction, he said.
Anti-matter equals matter in charge and mass, so the particles created are the same microscopic size as standard matter electrons. Anti-matter annihilates on contact with matter, including air, so the particles have only limited duration, within the underground miles of a particle accelerator.
For those whose understanding of anti-matter previously came only from Star Trek, Clavelli will give a talk at 7:30 p.m. next Friday, May 22, in Room 227 of Gallalee Hall on the UA campus. Its part of a national effort to explain a little about particle physics in the context of Angels & Demons, expected to be a hit based on the performance of the Da Vinci Code movie, built around Browns massive-selling novel.
Angels & Demons again features Harvard academic and codebreaker Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks in the movies) tracking down a twisty conspiracy, this time in a race against the threat to the Vatican from the Illuminati, for past grievances.
Its highly unrealistic what he says about particle physics, and also his plot about some war between the Vatican and this group of scientists, the Illuminati; there is no such war and never was, Clavelli said.
There are many scientists who are atheists, and some are very antagonistic toward religon. But some believe science will point more and more clearly toward religion as it progresses.
I certainly dont believe that the Vatican considers itself at war with any group of people, he said, laughing.
The idea of anti-matter matters twin, but with opposing charges was first proposed in 1928 by Paul Dirac, combining quantum mechanics and Einsteins theory of relativity to better explain electron interactions. For the past 50 years, laboratories such as CERN have been producing anti-matter. But that creation results in simultaneous matter, causing an energy burst that would be, pound for pound were pounds available more powerful than a nuclear bomb.
The theory now is that, in the Big Bang, matter and anti-matter were created equal.
But then why does anything exist, if they were in balance?
Thats the $64,000 question, Clavelli said. We think that in the beginning there were equal amounts of matter and anti-matter, but practically all of it annihilated with each other, except a small trace amount of regular matter, which is what makes up the universe that we see: planets, stars, people, etc.
There is a small asymmetry to the laws of physics which allows for a non-equilibrium, a preferential decay, he said. The preference could have as easily been for anti-matter, in which case we would all have goatees and be evil. No, in fact we wouldnt know the difference, and what is now considered matter would probably be called anti-matter in that theoretical universe.
Anti-matter in great amounts may still exist somewhere in our universe, but we havent found evidence of it yet.
Its important for our existence that anti-matter was there in the beginning, Clavelli said. It kept the universe from falling back on itself, but it did give way to what we have today.
CERN also has information on its Web site regarding questions potentially raised by Angels & Demons, at www.public.web.cern.ch/public/. Following Clavellis talk next Friday, there will be a Q&A session and a public viewing from the telescope atop Gallalee. n

New retail strategies spur 23pc jump in Hysan revenue
Revenue jumps 23pc after the largest landlord in Causeway Bay relies more on base rent for income and changes tenant mix in its portfolio
Hysan Development, the largest landlord in Causeway Bay, said revenues jumped nearly 25 per cent while adopting strategies to strengthen its retail portfolio in order to offset the impact of the slowdown in retail sales growth.
Hysan said turnover grew 23.2 per cent to HK$3.06 billion last year. Excluding the contribution from Hysan Place, turnover from the rest of its retail portfolio rose just 11.4 per cent.
Underlying profit climbed 26 per cent to HK$2.04 billion, but net profit dropped 38.1 per cent to HK$6.16 billion due to a sharp fall in property revaluation gains.
The strong growth in turnover and underlying profit was mainly due to income from the retail sector, which expanded 34.2 per cent to HK$1.68 billion, while income from the office sector rose 19.5 per cent to HK$1.09 billion. The growth in retail income was much lower than the 58.4 per cent expansion in 2012. Turnover rent edged up 1.9 per cent.
"We have changed our strategy [in recent years] as we noticed that the growth in retail sales would normalise," said Hysan's deputy chairman Lau Siu-chuen.
The company has been seeking to maintain a stable rental income stream even in the face of weakening retail sales by relying more on base rent than turnover rent.
"The growth in retail sales has normalised in recent years in the absence of a boom in the property and stock markets. And mainland tourists' consumption pattern has changed. They are now looking for more middle-end products. Thus, we began to change the tenant mix in our retail portfolio two years ago," Lau said.
"We won't focus on a single market. We are trying to attract different shoppers by offering a wide variety of products in different price ranges. For example, only 30 per cent of the retailers in our portfolio are fashion retailers, compared with 60 per cent previously. We have also introduced more flagship stores in our retail portfolio."
He is optimistic about the retail market since the middle class on the mainland is growing and private consumption will be supported by economic growth in Hong Kong.
The retail space achieved an average increase of about 50 per cent in rent for renewals last year.
"The improving global economy and resilient local private consumption should benefit our balanced retail and office portfolio. For 2014, we expect our overall performance to be steady," chairman Irene Lee Yun-lien said.
The company declared a final dividend of 95 HK cents a share, compared with 78 HK cents in 2012.
Shares in Hysan climbed 0.46 per cent to close at HK$32.95 yesterday.

The newly-promoted side's second win of the season came courtesy of tries by Rida Jaouher and Lucas Dupont, with Valentin Courrent kicking 16 points.
It was Stade's second loss in the opening three games of the season.
The tries both came in the second half after Grenoble went in at the break 9-6 up. Stade managed to pull level from Jerome Porical's boot but Jaouher crossed the line soon after to put the hosts back into the lead.
Grenonble finished strongly with Dupont touching down to seal a memorable win.

The Rumble in the Jungle was a historic boxing event that took place on October 30, 1974, in the Mai 20 Stadium in Kinshasa, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo). It pitted then world Heavyweight champion George Foreman against former world champion and challenger Muhammad Ali.
The event was one of Don King's first ventures as a professional boxing promoter. He managed to get both Ali and Foreman to sign separate contracts saying they would fight for him if he could get $5 million to be their pay. However, King did not have the money. So he began looking for an outside country to sponsor the event. Zaire's president Mobutu Sésé Seko asked for the fight to be held in his country, eager for the publicity such a high-profile event would bring. King had pulled together a consortium that included a Panamanian company called Risnelia Investment, the Hemdale Film Corporation, a British company founded by film producer John Daly and the actor David Hemmings, Video Techniques Incorporated of New York and Don King Productions. Although King is most closely associated with the fight it is Hemdale and Video Techniques Inc., with whom King was a director, who were the official co-promoters of the fight.
In 1967, Ali had been suspended from boxing for three and a half years for his refusal to obey the draft and enter the Army. In 1970 he first regained a boxing license and promptly fought two comeback fights, against Jerry Quarry and Oscar Bonavena in an attempt to regain the heavyweight championship from Joe Frazier. The two met in 1971 in a bout dubbed the Fight of the Century, and Frazier prevailed, which sent Ali into fighting other contenders for years in an attempt at a new title shot.
Foreman had quickly risen from his gold medal victory at the 1968 Olympics and into the top ranks of professional heavyweights. Foreman was greatly feared for his punching power, size, and sheer physical dominance. Still, Joe Frazier and his promoters believed that despite Foreman's ever-growing list of knockouts and victories, he would be too slow and unrefined to stand up to Frazier's relentless attacks. This would turn out to be a grave miscalculation, as Foreman won the championship in grand fashion by knocking Frazier down six times in two rounds before the bout was stopped. Foreman further solidified his hold over the heavyweight division after he demolished Ken Norton, who was the only man besides Frazier at that time to defeat Ali, also in two rounds. Though Ali had avenged his losses to both Norton and Frazier in the years since, the younger Foreman seemed an overwhelming favorite against the 32 year old Ali.
Foreman and Ali spent much of the summer of 1974 training in Zaire, and getting their bodies acclimatized to the weather in the tropical African country. The fight was originally set to happen in September, but Foreman was injured and cut during training, pushing the fight back to 30 October.
Preceding the fight, the three night long music festival Zaire 74 took place, including performances by James Brown, Celia Cruz and the Fania All-Stars, B.B. King, Miriam Makeba, The Spinners, Bill Withers, and Manu Dibango as documented in the 2008 film Soul Power
Ali started the first round attacking Foreman with the unconventional (and provocative) 'right-hand leads'. This was notable, as Ali was famed for his speed and technical skills, while Foreman's raw power was his greatest strength; close range fighting would, it seemed, inevitably favour Foreman and leave too great a chance that Ali would be stunned by one or more of Foreman's powerful hay-makers. Ali made use of the right-hand lead punch (striking with the right hand without setting up with the left) in a further effort to disorient Foreman. However, while this aggressive tactic may have surprised Foreman and it did allow Ali to hit him solidly a number of times, it failed to significantly hurt him. Before the end of the first round, Foreman caught up to Ali and began landing a few punches of his own. Foreman had also been trained to cut off the ring, preventing escape. Ali realized that he would tire if Foreman could keep making one step to Ali's two, so he changed tactics.
Ali had told his trainer, Angelo Dundee, and his fans that he had a secret plan for Foreman. Almost right away in the second round, Ali started lying on the ropes and letting Foreman punch him, without any attempt to attack Foreman himself (a strategy Ali later dubbed the rope-a-dope).
As a result Foreman spent all his energy throwing punches, that either did not hit Ali or were deflected in a way that made it difficult for Foreman to hit Ali's head, while sapping Foreman's strength due to the large number of punches thrown by the champion. This loss of energy was the key to Ali's "rope-a-dope" technique.
Ali seemed to do little to resist, except to occasionally shoot straight punches to the face of Foreman. (This quickly began taking a toll on Foreman's face and it was soon visibly puffy.) When the two fighters were locked in clinches, however, Ali consistently out-wrestled Foreman, using tactics such as leaning on Foreman to make Foreman support Ali's weight, or holding down Foreman's head by pushing on his neck. The latter move is disorienting and can heighten the effect of punches, since it causes a greater snap in the neck when a fighter is hit in the head and therefore increases the chances of a knockout. Ali also constantly taunted Foreman in these clinches, telling Foreman to throw more and harder punches, and an enraged Foreman responded by doing just that.
After several rounds, this caused Foreman to begin tiring. As Foreman's face became increasingly damaged by the occasional hard and fast jabs and crosses that Ali threw, his stamina looked to be draining from him. The effects were increasingly visible as Foreman was staggered by an Ali combination at the start of the fourth round and again several times near the end of the fifth, after Foreman had seemed to dominate much of that round. Although he would keep throwing punches and coming forward, after the fifth round Foreman was very tired and he looked increasingly worn out. Ali continued to taunt him by saying "they told me you could punch, George!" and "they told me you could punch as hard as Joe Louis."
Finally in the eighth round, Ali landed the final combination, a left hook that brought Foreman's head up into position so Ali could smash him with a hard right straight to the face. Foreman staggered, then twirled across half the ring before landing on his back; he finally managed to get up, but it was too late.
The fight made clear just how great Ali was at taking a punch and also highlights the different, perhaps dangerous, change that Ali had made in his fighting style, by adopting the rope-a-dope, instead of his former style that emphasized movement. Film of the Zaire fight shows Foreman striking Ali with hundreds of thunderous blows, many blocked, but many getting through. Foreman mostly struck to the sides and kidney region, but also landed some vicious shots to the head, seemingly with no effect.
This fight has since become one of the most famous fights of all time because it resulted in Ali, against the odds, regaining the title against a younger and stronger Foreman. It is shown several times annually on the ESPN Classic network. After this fight Ali once again told the world he was the greatest.
A year later Ali won an epic battle with Joe Frazier in the Thrilla in Manila. Although his skills and reflexes deteriorated noticeably in later bouts, he remained Champion until 1978, when he was dethroned by Leon Spinks. He regained the title for an unprecedented third time after beating Spinks in a rematch. However, his later comebacks proved less successful and he was beaten by Larry Holmes in 1980 and Trevor Berbick in 1981.
Despite repeatedly calling Ali out, Foreman was unable to secure a rematch with the champion (despite Ali making title defenses against unheralded opponents such as Jean Pierre Coopman and Richard Dunne) and eventually retired after a loss to Jimmy Young in 1977. Ten years later he made an unlikely comeback, culminating in him regaining the world heavyweight championship at age 45 — the oldest man ever to win the title
