COMMUNITY HEALTH ADVISORY & INFORMATION NETWORK (CHAIN) PROJECT Needs Assessment Committee Angela Aidala, Maria Caban, and Maiko Yomogida February 3, 2011
Introduction: Planning Questions What services do HIV+ persons need? Where do they go for care? What are their unmet needs/ service gaps? What populations are underserved? What works well, what doesn't work? What are the barriers and access issues? WHERE SHOULD WE PUT OUR MONEY?
CHAIN PROJECT GOALS To provide a profile of PLWH/A in New York City and the Tri-County Region To assess the system of HIV care – both health and social services – from the perspective of people living with HIV To report on unmet needs, service utilization trends, and outcomes to the Planning Council and its Committees
History of CHAIN Initially developed in 1993 as one of the Planning Council's evaluation resources Contract with Columbia University School of Public Health CHAIN has recruited 4 cohorts of PLWH/A - NYC I (1994-2002, n=968) - NYC II (2002-present, n=1114) - Tri-County I (2001-2007, n=482) - Tri-County II (2008-present, n=360) A Technical Review Team (TRT) which includes representatives of the Planning Council, Public Health Solutions, NYCDOHMH and WDOH oversees CHAIN
17 Year Highlights (1994 -2011) 2000+ PLWHA completed ave. 4+ interviews 850-item questionnaire 120 trained interviewers 150+ reports Multiple presentations to Planning Council, Council Committees, PPG, HAWG, provider and community groups, professional conferences
Steps in the Process Develop a research strategy Consult with stakeholders Develop research infrastructure Implement strategy Analyze & report on research findings Re-evaluate strategy Consult with stakeholders
Selecting CHAIN Participants A 2-Step Process Designed to enroll representative samples 1 st step: random selection of service sites from listing of all agencies serving HIV clients -- Medical and Social Service -- All Boroughs (or Counties) -- RW Funding vs. non RW 2 nd step: agency staff help with random selection of clients -- Random selection from client rosters -- Sequential enrollment
Recruiting CHAIN Participants Unconnected to Care NYC CHAIN includes small samples of PLWHA unconnected to care Unconnected: Aware, no medical care, no case management for 6+months Referrals from CHAIN agency recruited participants Accompany Outreach Workers Open recruitment and screening in street and community settings 1994 (n=48) 1998 (n=24) 2002 (n=25)
Comparison of CHAIN Participants with Surveillance & RW Encounter Data Cohort composition closely tracks surveillance data/ RW client data
Collecting Information by Speaking with PLWHA Comprehensive in-person 2hr+ interview Follow-up interviews approx. yearly Interviews in homes or agency settings Community-based interviewing team $35 incentive for every interview + referral resource Strong community support with 80% - 90% follow-up interview completion rate
Topics Covered Current health & mental health status Sociodemographic background Family life, housing, work, economic resources Sexual behaviors Outlook on life, stress, stigma Substance use behaviors History of medical and social services Utilization of medical and social services Medication use and adherence Service needs, satisfaction with services, barriers Social networks, social support Quality of life
Analyze & Report Prepare data for analysis Work with Council & staff to define topics Consult with stakeholders - What emerging issues should be investigated? - What subgroup comparisons? Prepare draft of reports and get feedback Disseminate final reports
Some ways of classifying PLWH/A Gender - Male / female / transgender Race / Ethnicity - White / Black / Latino / Other HIV risk exposure group - MSM / PDU / MSM + PDU / Hetero & Other Clinical indicators - Viral load undetectable/ detectable Age - 20-34 yrs old / 35-49 yrs / 50+ yrs Geography - Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island
Types of Analyses Descriptive (rates, percentages, trends, mapping) Analytical -- Are there group differences? -- Do certain models of care, interventions, or policies make a difference? Multivariate analyses – considering the effects of many factors taken together
Assessing the System of Care Conduct studies to examine: Medical care, health, mental health, QOL outcomes for PLWHA Trend data – tracking change over time Individual factors associated with outcomes Service utilization associated with outcomes Systemic factors associated with outcomes Key resource for needs assessment – can show service system strengths and weaknesses
Outcome Measures Appropriate medical care ARV and HAART utilization & adherence T-cell changes, viral load suppression Resolution of service need Health and mental health functioning Reduction of sex and drug risk behaviors Mortality
CHAIN Service Needs and Utilization: NYC Summary NYCDOH took lead in defining revised set of service domains, needs and utilization measures "Need" includes those currently using service "Gap" = % without adequate service utilization among those with need for service Minor differences in need definition between Tri- County and NYC Compare 2006-2009 with earlier interview period 2001-2006
What is a Service Gap? The difference between the "need" for service, and the receipt of service Need may be "subjective," in that client explicitly wants service (AKA "demand") --Ex: "In the last 6 months, have you had a problem or needed assistance with housing?" Need may be "objective," in that client's circumstances suggest a need for a service, even if client doesn't demand it -- Ex: Client has had at least one episode of homelessness, being doubled up, or being unstably housed in past 6 mo.
Domain: Ambulatory Health Care Service : HIV Primary Care Who Needs the Service? All Individuals living with HIV/AIDS Measure of Adequate Utilization One or more visits to HIV Primary Care Physician in last six months 19

The furore erupted on Tuesday evening when the White House disclosed that Mr Clinton's first chief of staff, Thomas "Mac" McLarty, and Erskine Bowles, who currently holds the job, helped find work for Webster Hubbell in 1994 after Mr Hubbell resigned as Associate Attorney General.
Within a few months of his departure, Mr Hubbell had been charged and convicted of swindling $480,000 (pounds 300,000) from the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he had been a partner alongside Hillary Clinton, and was familiar with her work on behalf of Madison Guaranty, the failed savings bank at the heart of the Whitewater controversy.
But in his hour of supreme need - jobless, with a family to support, and staring at the prospect of a 16-month jail sentence for fraud - financial help miraculously emerged, in the shape of a clutch of business and legal consultancies worth more than $400,000 a year. Most of these were put together at the urging of close aides of the Clintons. Among these latter, it now emerges, were Mr McLarty and Mr Bowles.
Thus the central question emerges: were the payments to encourage Mr Hubbell, then under intense pressure from Whitewater prosecutors to co- operate in return for a lighter sentence, to keep his mouth shut? If so, as the Wall Street Journal pointed out yesterday, "a cover-up scandal not seen since Watergate" might be about to unravel.
At this stage, of course, the parallel is still fanciful, and the White House insists that Mr Clinton's associates were merely trying to help an old friend through his troubles. All three were pillars of the close- knit local establishment of the 1980s: Mr Clinton as Governor, Mr McLarty as head of the state energy company, Arkla, and Mr Hubbell as a former Mayor of Little Rock. People were "understandably concerned about Mr Hubbell's well-being," a White House spokesman said.
But, in Washington's ultra-partisan climate, such explanations are unlikely to suffice. At the very least, the latest revelations will generate more demands for testimony from the Republican-controlled Congressional committees that torment the Clinton White House.
Far more serious, they could become the "missing link" that allows Mr Starr to bring the scandal over 1996 Democratic campaign fundraising under the already broad umbrella of his Whitewater investigation. Among the providential benefactors of Mr Hubbell, with a $100,000 retainer, was the same Lippo group of Indonesia which made massive, allegedly improper, contributions to the Democratic party last year.
A few weeks ago, Mr Starr seemed ready to throw in the Whitewater towel. Now he is bringing witnesses to the Hub- bell consultancies before a Little Rock grand jury, to explore the "hush money" theory. Circumstantial evidence offers support. Mr Hubbell did go to prison, and has refused to help Mr Starr - to the point where prosecutors warn they may bring new charges against him.

Phoenix Suns
Gerald Green shines as the Phoenix Suns rout the Indiana Pacers
When Gerald Green and Miles Plumlee were traded to the Phoenix Suns last offseason, they seemed like throw-ins to help offset the Indiana Pacers' acquisition of Luis Scola from the Suns for a first-round pick.
But that certainly didn't appear to be the case Wednesday, as Phoenix routed Indiana 124-100 at U.S. Airways Center behind a monster game from Green and bounce-back outing from Plumlee.
Green scored a team-high 23 points on 6-of-13 shooting, including 3-of-5 from 3-point range and a coast-to-coast highlight dunk. Green also grabbed six rebounds and dished two assists.
But, the veteran said he had no extra motivation facing his former squad.
"This is my seventh team in all of my career, I've been down this road before," he said. "I didn't change anything up. I stayed doing the same stuff; just kept my mind focused on what I needed to do as far as being solid, being efficient.
"Tonight was a good win for us — that's a great ball club that we just played."
Plumlee scored 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds — an area he'd been struggling in of late.
And Scola, whom the Suns parted with in the deal, scored 5 points and pulled down 5 rebounds.
Phoenix scored 62 first-half points, the most that the Pacers — the NBA's best defensive team — have allowed in a half this season.

I think Amanda is as sweet as can be and her customer service is great. When we originally ordered, she was getting ready to leave on a staycation but I didn't know before ordering. She emailed me and asked if she could create the cupcakes once she got back. I said I understood and agreed. It was few days after she got back before it shipped, but she was so sweet because she sent an extra 12 mini cupcakes with the order to make up for the wait. The reason I'm giving 3 stars is because the bottom case of cupcakes was packed in the bottom layer of the box upside down -all of the icing was smeared all over the case instead of on the cupcakes. There was no room for the cupcake case to flip over or shift, so it was packed upside down unfortunately. :( For $40 I wish I could have tasted them in the best form.

For Dave C Post Surgery

I haven't seen a post or anything from you. I was wondering how you are doing since the surgery.I'm now 2 months post op.since my EPF. I'm still about 90% better. I haven't seen much progress lately but I'll just have to be patient. I over did it about a week ago and set myself back. Tried to do some painting in the house and spent too much time reaching on my tip toes. Seems to have aggravated the surgery and left foot some. So I'll sit tight for a few weeks and see if I can recupe. Take care and I hope you are recovering well.

The story of Greg Mortenson and his work in Pakistan and Afghanistan building schools, not dissimilar to Ed Hillary's work in Nepal.
The book was given to me by a fellow International Red Cross delegate when I was in Haiti in 2008, I hadn't gotten around to reading for some time, but once I got into it I found it hard to put down.
Greg's accounts and linkages between the lack of open education and the raise of the Taliban and extremist views in the region at the time leading up to Al-Qaeda and 9/11 is fascinating.

TesseracT stream new album
I wonder if this will be lame I bet it will.
Digging: Bing and Ruth - Tomorrow Was The Golden Age
i thought it would be shit but its pretty solid
Pretty samey throughout. Still solid.
I liked this more than I expected once it got going.
Digging: The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us Is the Killer
Dillinger is less samey than this.
i know were all just digging the same album
except the first guy.. *stares*
amazing stuff, but I expected nothing less
Eclipse is absolutely wonderful
it's definitely a big change from Daniel, but Ashe has some chops.
idk, gotta get used to it
ashe grew on me. hes probably my favorite of their vocalists now tbh
I really like Ashe. I also really like the direction this album takes, though I think they need to play things a lot less safe.
God dammit Insurrection, Yazz Flute is elite you can not question his opinion
Pretty good.
Digging: Emilie Nicolas - Like I'm a Warrior
I'll check this out at work tomorrow
This is brilliant
this band blows.
Listening now, I'm so excited.
Wow divisive opinions everywhere. Album rocks hard.
"that lead singer is so garbage"
Can you sing better? No, so shut the fuck up.
The full on Djent moments are probably the worst part of the record
"Can you sing better? No, so shut the fuck up."
*sniff* just beautiful
bet the singer quits soon. guy can sing his ass off but this band cant keep singers
Yep, it's pretty ironic that their trademark is what sucks most about the album. Leave the Djent to Meshuggah and write a nice riff instead.
31 minutes in it gets good. the ambient bits sound tiring after a bit and the chugging is standard fare
35-37 an Icarus lives type riff.
no harsh vocals. at all.
All valid complaints.
As for their vocalist. This guy will probably stick around for a while considering he only lives like 20 minutes away from the rest of the band. TesseracT will get much bigger in the coming years. If he's smart he'll stay to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
these guys seem to have established a little niche for themselves with this release.
this is a fucking chore to get through
That was so much better than their first album....
Digging: Jakob - Subsets of Sets
this is a fucking chore to get through [2]
Band needs to go away. How Acle went from Fellsilent to this shit.
Streaming this now. I keep reminding myself that they don't have a female vocalist now.
Vocalist is not that great.
I'm only one song in and already noticing it, which is not good.
His voice is too weak. The soft stuff is good, but anything heavy sounds forced.
"Band needs to go away. How Acle went from Fellsilent to this shit."
tesseract was around before Fellsilent
Digging: Alustrium - A Tunnel to Eden
His voice is just right imo.
Chuck I never said they weren't I'm just saying how he went from a great band like Fellsilent to TesseracT.
Some riffs seem pretty similar to previous releases. But this doesn't seem bad. The vocalist is better than Elliot at least. Not as powerful as Dan though.
I truly cannot stand the vocalist. I have tried to give this a go three times already and the vocals ruin it for me. The music itself is lush and calming but.... Fuck, I tried.
"I truly cannot stand the vocalist. I have tried to give this a go three times already and the vocals ruin it for me. The music itself is lush and calming but.... Fuck, I tried.
They have an instrumental version coming out on the same day as the original.
I still prefer Dan for the time being but give this kid a year or two and he'll be on par with Dan if not better.
I don't understand putting out instrumental versions along side the normal versions it seems like an implicit admission of lack of faith in the vocals to engage the audience or not alienate listeners.
Wtf are you on about? You just don't like his voice. End of story.
His voice is awesome! I really like it... he's got a lot of range, could do with a bit more power, but his mellowness suits the music. This band really divides opinion!
One was better than this. The drummer and bassist are pretty sick. new singer has the range but the memorable vocals aren't there which were abundant on One. Nocturne is pretty sweet though.
this band blows.[2]

After five or more hour of a physically demanding hike up a mountain lies a treasure at the top: Dos D'Ane Pond. There are magical natural sites to be seen on your way to the top, but what awaits is simply breathtaking, and most agree worth every brutal step that it takes to get there.
For the most part, the trail that leads to the top is steep right from the get-go. There are a few breaks that allow you to walk on flat ground, but be prepared for some demanding calf-work. When you arrive near the top, you'll be awed by a gorgeous waterfall draining the pond, and finally at Dos D'Ane Pond you'll find peace and tranquility among the clouds.
Dos D'Ane Pond is found on the western side of Christ Church Nichola Town Parish, in the vicinity of Basseterre; it's to the south-southeast of Dieppe Bay Town.
There are plenty of restaurants to pick from in the community immediately near the park. The nearest restaurant to Dos D'Ane Pond is Royal Palm Restaurant, which sells Caribbean meals. Also within a short distance, you will find eateries such as Sprat Net and Bass Bakery so hopefully, at least one of these nearby eateries will satiate the entire group.
Active travelers that like outdoor parks, and have the energy to view some others, should consider Berkely Memorial and Victoria Monument; which are both within driving distance of this page's park. Other nearby attractions include Wingfield Estate, which is a short distance away away Old Road Town. You might also think about heading over to Sky Safari, which is another nearby attraction.

- Project Details
Title L'éducation des pairs – un programme paneuropéen
Project Number UK/09/LLP-LdV/TOI-163_239
Year 2009
Project Type Projets de transfert d'innovation
Status Clôturé
Country UK-Royaume-Uni
Marketing Text En tirant parti du project PIP qui essaie de promouvoir l'éducation des pairs comme une méthodologie de soutien pour les groupes défavorisés en Bulgarie, en Chypre, en Grèce, au Den, en Italie, au Portugal et au Royaume-Uni. Pour tous renseignements supplémentaires veuillez consulter www.peermentor.org et vous inscrire à la liste des abonnés.
Summary The project aimed to address some of the issues faced by people furthest from the labour market and those who experience difficulties in gaining or retaining training or employment due to a lack of appropriate personal skills and behaviours. The project consolidated the work undertaken in the Peer Implementation Project-PIP in training Mentors as Peer Educators to deliver personal development skills to the target groups. It took the Peer Educator Training programme to the new countries of Bulgaria, Greece, Cyprus and Italy and to new target groups in all 7 countries. It created a Peer Educator Trainers training course which was delivered to trainers in each partner country to embed sustainability and growth of the methodology.
General Objectives: The project supported the personal development not only of the target group but also of the volunteer Peer Educators. The Peer Education training aimed to increase the personal communication and relationship skills of both the Peer Educators and the target groups. It aimed to increase the social and employability skills of the target groups through the personal development exercises delivered by the trained Peer Educators.
The Training to trainers will increase the quality of training to trainers and that the trainers can deliver in their institutions, thus raise the quality of provision and assist in raising the quality of training for the target groups. The Peer Educator course is an innovative training programme developed through the PIP project which is already proving to be successful in supporting disadvantaged groups succeed in training and work placements.
Operational Objectives:
This project will increase co-operation between organisations of this project and between organisations in each partner region/country as well through the trainer courses which will be delivered by each partner organisation. These will include public, private and third sector organisations. They in turn will have the expertise to train more organisations and thus the Peer Education methodology will extend exponentially through the partner countries and potentially beyond.
The innovative Peer Education training will be transferred from the UK and Portugal to the partner countries and from the partner organisations to other institutions within their regions, and, through their own European networks, to other European countries.
Partners will seek to gain accreditation for the Peer Educator training course so that the qualification can be recognised in the partner countries of Europe.
European Priorities:
lack of motivation and low self-esteem are key factors in low achievement and early leaving. This project will address those issues to support increased competency.

Product information
The tangible outcome is structured, accredited, Peer Educator training course translated into Bulgarian, Greek, Danish and Italian, a selection of appropriate activities and a Training Trainers course in all partner languages.
The intangible outcomes were greater understanding and valuing by peers of those with disabilities, learning disabilities, etc., the increased self confidence and self-worth of the target groups, and increased participation in transcultural citizenship activities by young people working as peer educators.
The impact was an increased capacity for Peer Education training through the training of new trainers in 7 countries, the increased opportunities for the target groups to successfully gain and retain training and employment and the potential for Pan-European accredited training programmes in Peer Support.

FDA Issues Novartis with CRL Requesting Additional Safety Data on Gouty Arthritis Drug
FDA has gone along with the recommendations of its scientific advisory committee and refused to approve Novartis' monoclonal antibody canakinumab (ACZ885) for the treatment of gouty arthritis. The complete response letter issued to the firm has requested additional clinical data to evaluate the benefit/risk profile in refractory patients.
The agency's CRL reflects the opinion of the scientific advisory committee, which in June said that while it was happy with the overall efficacy of canakinumab, it did have some safety concerns, and suggested that retreatment data would be needed in order to assess the overall safety profile of the drug.
Novartis reported positive data from two Phase III studies evaluating the drug in the treatment of severe gouty arthritis back in May. Regulatory submissions were made in the EU in 2010, and in the U.S., Canada, and Switzerland in the first quarter of 2011.
Canakinumab is an IL-1β-targeting antibody that was approved in 2009 in Europe and the U.S., under the tradename Ilaris™, for the treatment of adults and children with cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS). The drug is now approved in over 45 countries for the CAPS indication, and achieved sales of $12 million in the second quarter of 2011, up 95% (in constant currency) on Q2 2010 sales.

Thank you Mr.Suranga. Very professional repair with clear photos and explanation. Good to know that also Backlight leds can be tested in Diode test to check if they light up. Maybe that is also a good reason never to test CMOS ICs with a Digital Meter in Diode/Beep test. And good to know that the reason a LCD TV quits can be caused by a single defective Backlight Led.

How To Repair LED TV Backlight Problem – No Picture
A customer of mine sent to me this BG LED TV with the complaint of have sound but no picture. This kind of problem usually caused by one of the bad backlight LED in the LED bar.
With just one bad LED, the TV will shut down thus no picture can be seen. Once the cover was opened I could see three circuit boards i.e; the power supply board, main board and T-con board see the photo below:
I then performed the dc voltage check on the LED backlight connector and found that the DC voltage came for a while and shut down. This usually indicates the LED backlight have problem. But I have to open the set in order to proof that I'm correct in saying one of the LED backlight could have problem.
When you are removing the LED TV internal parts be extra careful for the Tab bonding. If you break it then the panel can consider useless unless if you know a way to fix it.
Once the all the LEDs are exposed, you can check each of the LEDs with your meter by setting the meter to diode mode. A good LED should light up and the bad one will not light up. See the three photos below:
True enough I found a bad LED. This is the main cause of the TV shut down. Since I have the LED bar and do not have the single LED thus I replaced the whole LED bar and can keep the remaining good LEDs for future use.
It was a fantastic view when you can see all the LEDs were perfectly lighted.
Once you have confirmed the LEDs were all working fine and no longer shutdown, you can put back all the parts. Connect back the LVDS cables gently to the T-con board as shown below:
The BG LED TV were finally repaired and I was very happy as I could earn some money from this work. If you truly want to venture into LCD or LED TV you can check out on Kent's and Damon's Ebooks. Once you have got their ebooks, you can ask for technical support from them to make you a good LCD/LED TV troubleshooter. All the best to you.

Hello Bandara really well done.Likes(1)Dislikes(0)
Hey Suranga,
Thanks for your article. I have dealt with similar cases recently in the automotive field, where faults will make the vehicle either shut down or go into 'limp home' mode - a limited system of operation. These were designed to stop over-current of the system and protect the Electronic Control Unit. I guess it is similar with the TV - a protection mode is created.
Well done on your repair.Likes(1)Dislikes(0)

I would probably bottle feed from birth if there is a next time
I would probably bottle feed from birth if there is a next time
I came across this thread at 11:30pm last night while sitting on the couch with Dd (2) after >12 attempts to resettle her.
I don't think I'll do anything much different in the newborn stages. I was so relaxed and carefree which I felt made it a very rewarding experience. We followed all the recommendations of a routine, no feeding or rocking to sleep etc and we still have a rubbish sleeper who will only bed share.......we WILL be taking a different approach this time. I actually made enquires today about a sleep consultation at QClass in Bne because I don't know how I am going to manage with a toddler that wont sleep, a baby and a Dh that works nights. What the heck was I thinking ;-)

I wouldn't change much second time round.. Except maybe not persisting with breastfeeding for 4 days in hospital with milk that did not arrive till day 6 after elective c section. She was starving by day 3. I again would have an elective c section.. Bottle feed right from the start.. Express a little colostrum at the start. My bub was sleeping from 7pm to 6pm from about 3 months so would repeat the quite strict routine and training bub to self settle right from week one by not rocking or feeding to sleep.
Lactogenesis II is the stage of milk production after the colostrum. Your body begins to produce the next milk after the birth of the placenta and can take up to 3 days. After C Sections this can be delayed for up to 72 hours longer than vaginal births.
Can you tell what class I'm up to in my degree??

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Willesden like this:
WILLESDEN, or Wilsdon, a village, a parish, and a sub-district, in Hendon district, Middlesex. The village stands 1½ mile N by W of Willesden-Junction r. station, and 7½ WNW of St. Paul's, London; and has a post-office‡ under London NW, a police station, and fairs on Holy Thursday and St. James' day. The parish includes W.-Green, Dollis-Hill, Sherrick-Green Neasdon, and Harlesden hamlets, Brondesbury domain, and parts of Kilburn and Kensal-Green villages. Acres, 4,190. ...
Real property, £28,401. Pop. in 1851, 2,939; in 1861, 3,879. Houses, 642. Pop. in 1869, about 15,000. The property is much subdivided. The manor was given by King Athelstan to St. Paul's, London; and was known, at Domesday, as Willesdone. W. House, Brondesbury Park, Neasdon House, Dollis Hill, Harlesden House, Heathfield, Mapesbury House, Bramshill Lodge, Glyn-field House, and the Rookery are chief residences. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of London. Value, £320.* Patrons, the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's. The church is later English. The rectory of Brandesbury and two p. curacies of Kilburn are separate benefices. There are an Independent chapel, a national school, and charities £27.The sub-district consists of W. parish and Twyford-Abbey extra-parochial tract.

Final decisions about Social Security filing strategies always rest with you and should always be based on your specific needs and health considerations.
It is important to acquire as much information as possible in order to make an informed Social Security claiming decision because one year after the Social Security claiming decision is made, the options for change are extremely limited.
Some people, such as federal, state and local government workers, may be subject to the "Government Pension Offset" and the "Windfall Elimination Provision" which could decrease their Social Security Benefits.
If you work for an employer that offers a retirement plan, your benefit may be subject to a Social Security "pension offset" provision. (Your 401(k) contributions and the employer match are not subject to a pension offset.) A pension offset may reduce the amount of your retirement benefit when you become eligible to collect Social Security. This reduction may apply whether or not you are collecting Social Security retirement benefits. It could be an important factor in your filing decision. Your plan administrator can tell you whether your plan includes a Social Security pension offset provision and how it might affect your retirement benefit.
The Social Security program was created by an Act of Congress. It is subject to change. In the past, Congress has made changes to the law, which has had an impact on Social Security benefits. Congress can make changes to the law at any time, which might impact benefits in the future.

A Social Security Quiz for IndividualsTest your Social Security knowledge with this brief quiz.
When it comes to planning your retirement and deciding when to file for Social Security, everyone's situation is unique. The following questions will help you assess your situation, and may identify some factors that you have not considered. After all, getting an accurate picture of your options may be the key to getting the most out of your retirement. p >
2 to 5 mins to complete
Question 1
Social Security retirement benefits are based on my earnings history, so I'll receive the same monthly benefit amount no matter when I start collecting.
Question 2
If my spouse dies, I will continue to receive both my own benefit and my deceased spouse's benefit.
Question 3
I must be a U.S. citizen to collect Social Security retirement benefits.
Question 4
Under current Social Security law, full retirement age is 65.
Question 5
I can continue working while collecting my full Social Security retirement benefits - regardless of my age.
Question 6
If I file for retirement benefits and have minor dependent children, they also may qualify for Social Security benefits.
Question 7
My "Primary Insurance Amount" is the Social Security retirement benefit amount I will receive if I elect to receive my retirement benefit at age 62.
Question 8
Once I start collecting Social Security, my benefit payments will never change.
Question 9
Government workers may have their Social Security retirement benefits reduced.
Question 10
My spouse can qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, even if he or she has no individual earnings history.
How did you do?
1 - False - If you collect Social Security retirement benefits before reaching full retirement age, you effectively lock in a lower monthly benefit amount. If you wait to begin collecting until after you reach full retirement age, you become eligible for delayed retirement credits. These credits increase your monthly benefit amount by 8% each year that you delay collecting, up to a maximum of 32%. Once you reach age 70, no additional delayed retirement credits accrue.
Sources: https://www.socialsecurity.gov/OACT/quickcalc/early_late.html
2 - False - Social Security retirement benefits are only paid while you are alive. Assuming that you qualify, you would receive the greater of your own benefit or your spouse's benefit, but not both.
Source: Social Security Administration, https://www.socialsecurity.gov/planners/survivors/
3 - False - You do not have to be a U.S. citizen to qualify for Social Security retirement benefits. Resident aliens who pay into the Social Security system may qualify to receive retirement benefits, assuming they earn enough credits and meet additional criteria. To become part of the Social Security system, non-U.S. citizens must have lawful alien status, permission by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to work in the U.S. and a Social Security Number.
Source: Social Security Administration, https://www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/EN-05-10096.pdf
4 - False - Your full retirement age is based on the year you were born. For people born between 1943 and 1954, the full retirement age is 66. If you were born in 1960 or later, the full retirement age is 67. For anyone born between 1955 and 1959, the full retirement age increases gradually.
Source: Social Security Administration, https://www.ssa.gov/planners/retire/retirechart.html
5 - False - You can work and receive Social Security retirement benefits. However, if you have not reached full retirement age, your earnings will be subject to the retirement earnings test. If your income exceeds the test limit, Social Security may withhold all or a portion of your benefits. Withheld benefits are repaid over your lifetime once you reach full retirement age.
Source: Social Security Administration, Retirement Planner: Getting Benefits While Working;
6 - True - When you file for Social Security retirement benefits, your children may also qualify to receive benefits based on your record. An eligible child can be your biological child, adopted child or stepchild. A dependent grandchild may also qualify. Normally, benefits stop when children reach age 18 unless they are disabled. However, if the child is still a full-time student at a secondary school at age 18, benefits will continue until the child graduates or until two months after the child becomes age 19, whichever is first.
Source: Social Security Administration, Retirement Planner: Benefits for Your Children;
7 - False - Your Primary Insurance Amount – or PIA – is the benefit you would receive if you begin receiving retirement benefits at your full retirement age. At this age, your benefit is neither reduced for early retirement nor increased for delayed retirement.
Source: Social Security Administration, http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/COLA/piaformula.html
8 - False - The Social Security Act of 1973 included a provision for cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) to help Social Security benefits account for inflation. Each year, the Social Security Administration uses specific indexes and formulas mandated by this legislation to determine whether a COLA will apply to benefits paid in the coming year and if so, how much the increase will be. For more detailed information on how COLAs are calculated, visit the Social Security Administration website indicated below.
Source: Social Security Administration, Cost-of-Living Adjustment;
9 - True - For certain workers, Social Security imposes two "offsets" that reduce the full Social Security monthly benefits that might otherwise have been paid. The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) affects workers who have earned a pension from an employer (such as a government agency) that did not collect Social Security taxes and who also have worked in other jobs long enough to earn Social Security benefits. Under the WEP provision, Social Security uses a modified formula to calculate your benefit, resulting in a lower benefit than you might otherwise have received. The second offset, called the Government Pension Offset (GPO), affects a spouse's benefit based on your earnings. The GPO can reduce spousal benefits to $0.
Source: Social Security Administration, Information for Government Employees;http://www.socialsecurity.gov/retire2/gpo-wep.htm
10 - True - Many spouses choose to stay at home to raise children or otherwise spend extended periods of time outside the paid workforce. This can affect a spouse's ability to qualify for Social Security benefits. In such cases, the spouse who earns less may be eligible for a Social Security spousal benefit. A spousal benefit can be as much as 50% of the higher earning spouse's full retirement age benefit. The exact percentage will depend on whether or not each spouse has reached his or her full retirement age.

Expert offers tips for holiday work party behavior
PHOENIX — 'Tis the season for holiday parties and that often means socializing with co-workers away from the office.
Don't let the change in scenery fool you, said Ryan Naylor, founder of LocalWork.com.
"Understand the office party is just an extension of the business day," he said. "Be sure to dress up to standards."
Most of us know it's not a good idea to talk politics, religion or anything too personal at the office party, but Naylor said he often gets asked whether drinking alcohol is okay.
"This is a personal decision and we recommend that you make the decision before you even go to the party. Make sure you limit yourself and take cues from some of your higher-ups. When you're planning, make sure you bring cash if it's a cash bar. Make sure you don't have that awkward moment when you suddenly realize you don't have cash."
Naylor said office parties are an easy opportunity to network with people you work with every day and those you rarely or never see in other departments.
"Come with a series of questions to ask your colleagues. 'What kind of hobbies do you enjoy? What are some activities you like to do on weekends?' And find similarities that you can draw from."
If you're bringing a guest, be sure to introduce and include them in conversations and reach out to your colleagues' guests.
The biggest tip Naylor offered this year is to put away your phone and focus on faces.

Avoid formal dress on the Downs and keep things relaxed
EDWARD VII ONCE DESCRIBED GLORIOUS Goodwood as "a garden party with racing tacked on" and that is exactly how the event should be approached, not least in the style stakes. It was that monarch who first relaxed the dress code when he turned up at the meeting in a white linen suit and Panama in lieu of his usual morning dress. Pale suits and panamas, often brightened with a colourful band, remain the traditional uniform for men. Far less formal than Royal Ascot, where entrance to the Royal Enclosure is restricted to those in a top hat and tails, the

By: Ann Brown
Man down! Man down!
And by "man", I mean, me.
And by "down", I mean I hit my ankle against the metal frame of my bed during elimination trials last night and I am injured. INJURED, I tell you.
I had to take Advil this morning, just to be able to sit down and write this post. TWO Advil. And a bagel and a half since I was getting up anyway to get the Advil. Light schmear. I am in training, after all.
If that sentence doesn't make sense to you, go back and read my previous post. I don't have time to catch you up – I have serious rehabilitation to do. I am going up against some strong figure skaters this year and I have to be in tip top shape to compete. It's a cutthroat world out there for overweight 55 year old sock skaters performing in their bedrooms while watching the Olympics on TV. Just Bedazzling my pajama top is a part-time job this week. I'm thinking of calling in some Disney cartoon mice to help me sew. And maybe do a little light cleaning and water the plants while they're at it. It's okay to exploit cartoon mice, right? Oh, and perhaps they can give me a discreet little wax, if they are girl mice. Those skate skirts can ride up pretty high.
My ankle is so sore to the touch. This could prove to be exceedingly distracting. It's hard enough to keep my mind on my routine, what with having to sidestep Molly's dog bed, Robin's dirty laundry on the floor, old issues of Cooking Light and Molly's collection – updated hourly – of hairballs and drool. Did I tell you that I slipped in her barf a few weeks ago? Oh God, it was horrible. I was skating around my room and I suddenly slipped in one of those slo-mo kind of falls, you know? Well, I got up and I was so fixated on the fact that I didn't hurt myself, it didn't occur to me to wonder why I fell. It wasn't until, I swear, like fifteen minutes later that I absent-mindedly ran my hand across my legging and felt something wet, and then I went to more closely investigate the floor. You know, there were times in my life when I've gone a little bit wild but I really never thought I'd end up being the kind of person who falls into dog barf and doesn't even realize it. Hunh.
My short program requires more energy than I am used to exerting in the three years between Olympics when I sort of let myself go, in the sense that I mostly lay around, overeat, and catch up with my stories. My long program requires energy to the point of my not being able to breathe, resulting in my becoming light-headed and laying down on Molly's dog bed until I am fairly certain that I am not going to die right then and there in my ratty old cotton briefs, Bedazzled flannel pajama top and socks. Oy. There'd be no amount of PTS therapy long enough to help the young paramedics expunge that image from their impressionable minds. I bet at least one of them would go gay on the spot.
Certain members of my family are prone to fainting, myself included, so I am taking no chances on my hard bedroom floor. I have strewn pillows throughout the room so I can grab one or two when the vapors hit me and I know I am going down. I've actually been thinking about working that into my choreography (double spin, thrust arms to grab pillow, smile, pass out, come to, lean up on elbows, pose, smile) just in case. Best not to make a whole deal over it, right? My son started to pass out in court the other day and he just said, "excuse me, Your Honor, I have to lie down now". And then he stretched out on the floor of the courtroom, asked his client to hand him his file and conducted the rest of the hearing from under his table. This is a true story. And he won his case. As he told me on the phone after-wards (this is truly the kind of story a parent only wants to hear after-wards), "Guess I'll be a kind of David E. Kelly character around this town from now on." That's what I call not making a whole deal about it.
But back to Anklewatch 2010. This is serious. If I cannot sockskate, if I am doomed to merely watch the figure skating competition from my couch, like the rest of the global hoi polloi, well, I may as well just coat my head in olive oil, sprinkle it with salt and pepper and stick it in the oven at 350. My Olympic fantasy life defines me. What else would I think about on the toilet or while waiting the excruciating two-and-a-half minutes for my microwave popcorn?
So, it's heat and ice, ice and heat on my ankle for the next few days. Do you mind getting that for me?
Oh, and while you're up, maybe a bagel. I feel weak.
