Las Vegas Review-Journal's Bad Medicine For Entitlement Reform
Research ››› ››› SALVATORE COLLELUORI
The Las Vegas Review-Journal hyped the need for entitlement reform, calling for an increase in eligibility ages for Social Security and Medicare, means-testing or tying benefits to a beneficiary's income, and competition for Medicare. However, the Review-Journal neglected to mention that health care cost growth has been slowing down and that enacting these policy prescriptions would hurt seniors and low-income Americans.
Las Vegas Review-Journal Pushes For Changes In Entitlement Programs
The Las Vegas Review Journal Called For Medicare, Medicaid, And Social Security To Be "Reformed For Future Beneficiaries." The May 30 editorial claimed that entitlement programs are on track to consume all federal revenues by 2045 and therefore must be reformed by increasing eligibility ages, means-testing benefits, and creating competition for Medicare:
Entitlements already cost roughly $1.6 trillion per year, about 45 percent of the federal budget. The programs are on track to consume all federal revenues by 2045, as tens of millions more baby boomers retire. More than $65 trillion worth of promised Social Security and Medicare benefits aren't funded. Income tax rates could be doubled across the board and they still wouldn't cover the bill.
The programs must be reformed for future beneficiaries. Eligibility ages should be increased to address longer life spans. Benefits will have to be means tested. And Medicare needs to embrace more competition to keep costs down. Republicans have been the driving force behind such proposals -- at their political peril -- but bipartisan efforts have reached similar conclusions. AARP has savaged all of them. [Las Vegas Review-Journal, 5/30/13]
But Growth In Health Care Costs Is Slowing
NY Times: "Sharp And Surprisingly Persistent Slowdown" In Health Care Cost Growth "Is Helping To Narrow The Federal Deficit." The New York Times explained that the rate of growth in health care costs is slowing and has slowed by 15 percent since an estimate three years ago:
A sharp and surprisingly persistent slowdown in the growth of health care costs is helping to narrow the federal deficit, leaving budget experts trying to figure out whether the trend will last and how much the slower growth could help alleviate the country's long-term fiscal problems.
In figures released last week, the Congressional Budget Office said it had erased hundreds of billions of dollars in projected spending on Medicare and Medicaid. The budget office now projects that spending on those two programs in 2020 will be about $200 billion, or 15 percent, less than it projected three years ago. New data also show overall health care spending growth continuing at the lowest rate in decades for a fourth consecutive year.
Health experts say they do not yet fully understand what is driving the lower spending trajectory. But there is a growing consensus that changes in how doctors and hospitals deliver health care -- as opposed to merely a weak economy -- are playing a role. Still, experts sharply disagree on where spending might be in future years, a question with major ramifications for the federal deficit, family budgets and the overall economy. [The New York Times, 2/11/13]
And Medicare Is Already Means-Tested
Medicare News Group: Certain Premiums Are Already Tied To Beneficiaries' Income Levels. According to the Medicare News Group, means-testing is already in effect for those filing taxes individually with an income of $85,000 or less or filing taxes jointly with an income of $170,000 or less, both of which currently pay a $104.90 monthly premium:
While some politicians give the impression that means-testing is a new concept, it's been a policy for almost a decade.
Premiums for Part B and Part D are already tied to beneficiaries' income levels.
Today, seniors who file individual income tax returns (income from Social Security benefits, employment, interest from tax-exempt bonds, etc.) with incomes of $85,000 or less, and couples with incomes of $170,000 or less, pay a monthly premium of $104.90 for Part B. That payment tops out at $335.70 for seniors and couples with an income above $214,000 and $428,000, respectively. Premiums are based on the percentage amount set for beneficiaries. For example, individuals who make $85,000 or less pay 25 percent of Part B costs and Medicare pays the other 75 percent. Those making above $214,000 pay 80 percent of the total Medicare cost. [Medicare News Group, 3/10/13]
Means-Testing Could Hurt Lower-Income Beneficiaries
Recent Proposals To Means-Test Medicare Could Force 25 Percent Of Beneficiaries To Pay Income-Related Monthly Premiums. According to a study by the Kaiser Family Foundation on the impacts of recommendations by both the Obama administration and House Republicans for extending the Social Security payroll tax reduction in 2012, under current law, 8.9 percent of Medicare beneficiaries would have to pay income-related monthly premiums by 2035. However, under these means-testing proposals, 25.8 percent of beneficiaries would be forced to pay income-related monthly premiums by 2035:
With the income-related premium thresholds held constant at their current levels beyond 2019, it is estimated that by 2035, just over one-quarter of all Medicare beneficiaries enrolled in Part B (20.2 million beneficiaries) will be required to pay the income-related Part B premium, because their incomes are projected to exceed $85,000 per individual or $170,000 per couple that year (Exhibit 2).
The income thresholds for the higher income Part B and D premiums in 2035 are equivalent to about $47,000 for individuals and $94,000 for couples in today's inflation-adjusted dollars. In other words, if the proposal to have 25 percent of beneficiaries pay the income-related premium was implemented in 2012, rather than reached gradually by holding the income thresholds constant over time, beneficiaries with incomes at or above $47,000 for individuals and $94,000 for couples would be paying higher income-related Medicare premiums this year.
By design, these proposals would gradually increase the number and share of Medicare beneficiaries paying an income-related premium. It is estimated that:
- In 2020, 10.0 percent of all Medicare beneficiaries (5.8 million) would pay an income-related premium, compared to 6.6 percent (3.8 million) under current law - an increase of 2.0 million beneficiaries who would be paying higher premiums that year.
- In 2025, 14.2 percent of all Medicare beneficiaries (9.5 million) would pay an income-related premium, compared to 7.3 percent (4.9 million) under current law - an increase of 4.6 million beneficiaries who would be paying higher premiums that year.
- In 2030, 19.3 percent of all Medicare beneficiaries (14.3 million) would pay an income-related premium, compared to 7.8 percent (5.8 million) under current law - an increase of 8.5 million beneficiaries who would be paying higher premiums that year.
- In 2035, 25.8 percent of all Medicare beneficiaries (20.2 million) would pay an income-related premium, compared to 8.9 percent (7.0 million) under current law - an increase of 13.2 million beneficiaries who would be paying higher premiums that year. [Kaiser Family Foundation, February 2012]
Economist Dean Baker: To Cut Medicare Costs Significantly "Benefits Would Have To Be Cut" For People Making "As Little As $40,000 Per Year." According to a letter from economist and Center for Economic and Policy Research Co-Director Dean Baker to Rep. Susan Brooks (R-IN), in order to achieve significant savings in the Medicare program by means-testing, benefits would have to be cut for those making as little as $40,000 a year in non-Social Security income:
In a recent talk to Tipton, IN, residents about "entitlement" reform, Rep. Susan Brooks suggested "needs-testing" Medicare to ensure that the wealthy are not receiving benefits. She went on to say "When it was created, they didn't expect people to depend on the program for their medical care... There are not enough young people paying into the program."
Assuming that Rep. Brooks meant means-testing instead of "needs-testing," she might want to clarify whom she means by the wealthy. Fewer than 6 percent of seniors have over $60,000 in non-Social Security income. Removing them from the pool of Medicare beneficiaries would have little effect on the program's long-term cost projections. To significantly curb expenses under needs-testing, benefits would have to be cut for people who have much less income -- in fact, as little as $40,000 per year.
As it stands, the cost controls put into place by the Affordable Care Act allow the Medicare trust funds to pay full benefits through 2024 and close to full benefits from then on. As well, the latest data from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office show that the rate of Medicare cost growth has slowed sharply in recent years. If the cost growth continues at the current rate, most of the projected long-term budget deficits disappear. In other words, there is little point in cutting the much-needed benefits of those making less than $60,000 in the name of deficit reduction that is already happening. [Center for Economic and Policy Research, 4/3/13]
Means-Testing Social Security Isn't Cost-Effective And Hurts Seniors
Means-Testing Social Security Would Only Create A 1.6 Percent Savings By 2040. According to a post by Mother Jones political blogger Kevin Drum, political blogger at Mother Jones, means-testing Social Security by lowering the benefits received by higher-income seniors would only create a savings of "$59 billion in 2040, which is a grand total of 1.6% of the savings in the entire Social Security plan." [Mother Jones, 2/15/11]
Means-Testing Could Create Disincentives To Save And Incentives For Consumption. A study on the effects of means-testing Social Security by the American Academy of Actuaries found that workers would have "an incentive against savings toward consumption during their working years," which, resulting in lower national savings, could diminish the improvement to Social Security's finances:
If income from savings during retirement reduced or eliminated Social Security benefits, participants would have an incentive against savings toward consumption during their working years. This would apply not just to workers, but also to their employers, who might forego maintaining or improving private retirement plans if their benefits reduced participants' Social Security benefits. This outcome would be contrary to the goal of raising the low level of national savings and have possible consequences for future improvement in labor productivity. Productivity has a major impact on the nation's economic well-being, as well as the financial health of Social Security, and any factor that negatively affects productivity could deepen both the nation's and Social Security's financial problems. Any direct improvement to Social Security's finances from means testing therefore could be partially offset by the indirect effect of lower national savings. [American Academy of Actuaries, December 2012]
Broad Support For Social Security Could Be Damaged If Program Was Means-Tested. According to a report by the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), means-testing benefits could be harmful to lower-income retirees in the long term:
However, supporters of increased benefits for low-income retirees should be wary of means-testing as a mechanism to increase the long-term financial solvency of Social Security or to increase benefits at the lower end. Social Security currently enjoys broad and strong political support because it pays benefits to nearly all retirees, regardless of income. If benefits were substantially cut for middle income retirees, this support could be undermined in ways that are harmful for lower-income retirees in the long run. [Center for Economic and Policy Research, November 2011]
Raising The Age Of Eligibility For Social Security And Medicare Disproportionately Hurts Low-Income Seniors
U.S. News & World Report: Life Expectancy For Americans With Low Levels Of Education And Income Has Been Decreasing. According to an article in U.S. News & World Report, life expectancy is increasing for those who are more educated and higher earning, and decreasing for those less educated and lower earning:
Social scientists have assembled an increasingly powerful record that shows longevity gains have not been doled out equally. Well-educated and higher-income people of all races are, indeed, living longer. But despite major gains in treating and even preventing life-shortening diseases, lifespans among Americans with low levels of education and income have been moving in the opposite direction.
"In 2008, U.S. adult men and women with fewer than twelve years of education had life expectancies not much better than those of all adults in the 1950s and 1960s," researchers concluded in a recent study published in the journal Health Affairs. "When race and education are combined, the disparity is even more striking."
"White U.S. men and women with 16 years or more of schooling had life expectancies far greater than black Americans with fewer than 12 years of education--14.2 years more for white men than black men, and 10.3 years more for white women than black women," researchers said. "These gaps have widened over time and have led to at least two 'Americas,' if not multiple others, in terms of life expectancy, demarcated by level of education and racial-group membership." [U.S. News & World Report, 12/14/12]
Washington Post: Raising Eligibility Ages Would Mean Fewer Benefits For Lower-Income Workers. Looking at the life expectancy of higher- and lower-income retirees, The Washington Post found that lower-income workers receive fewer benefits because they don't live as long:
The tightening economic connection to longevity has profound implications for the simmering debate about trimming the nation's entitlement programs. Citing rising life expectancy, influential voices including the Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction commission, the Business Roundtable and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have argued that it makes sense to raise the eligibility age for Social Security and Medicare.
But raising the eligibility ages -- currently 65 for Medicare and moving toward 67 for full Social Security benefits -- would mean fewer benefits for lower-income workers, who typically die younger than those who make more.
"People who are shorter-lived tend to make less, which means that if you raise the retirement age, low-income populations would be subsidizing the lives of higher-income people," said Maya Rockeymoore, president and chief executive of Global Policy Solutions, a public policy consultancy. "Whenever I hear a policymaker say people are living longer as a justification for raising the retirement age, I immediately think they don't understand the research or, worse, they are willfully ignoring what the data say." [Washington Post, 3/10/13]
CEPR: Raising The Retirement Age Could Reduce Benefits For All Workers Between The Ages Of 40 And 60. According to a report by the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a proposal to increase the retirement age to 70 for workers reaching age 62 after 2035 could result in a 10 percent reduction in benefits for workers currently in their 40s:
As noted above, Social Security's normal retirement age is already increasing for all workers born in 1938 or later. For all workers born after 1960, the normal retirement is set to increase to age 67. One proposal would increase the normal retirement age by two months each year beginning in 2013 and continuing until it reaches 70 for workers reaching age 62 after 2035. The Center for Economic and Policy Research has estimated the effect of increasing the retirement age in this manner for current workers between the ages of 40 and 60. Increasing the retirement age would result in reduced Social Security benefits for all of these workers, with the largest losses for those workers currently in their 40s. For example, workers between the ages of 40-44 in 2007 would experience a 10-percent reduction in benefits.
An increase in the current normal retirement age would be particularly harmful for workers in jobs that are physically demanding or involve difficult working conditions. These workers have less ability to continue working in their 60s than workers in office jobs and other less demanding conditions. Older workers in poorly compensated jobs are much more likely to have physically demanding jobs than better compensated workers. For example, about 63 percent of older workers in the bottom wage quintile have difficult working conditions compared to only about 25 percent in the top quintile. [Center for Economic and Policy Research, November 2011]
Competition For Medicare Doesn't Bring Down The Cost Of The Program
Creating Competition For Medicare Won't Be Prime Driver Of Health Care Cost Reductions. According to a report by the Center for American Progress, the plan proposed by former Gov. Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) to create competition for Medicare would achieve savings from other factors such as increases in the premiums paid by beneficiaries:
Gov. Romney and Rep. Ryan claim that privatizing Medicare will increase competition among health plans, allowing market forces to lower costs. But the Romney-Ryan plan does not address underlying health care costs or consider that the health care market functions differently than other consumer markets. Ample evidence exists that premium support would not foster the type of competition that reduces prices. The Congressional Budget Office concludes that premium-support plans would achieve much of their federal savings from "increases in the premiums paid by beneficiaries, not from increases in the efficiency of health care delivery."
There also is evidence that "Medicare beneficiaries are less responsive to differences in premiums when choosing a health plan than the privately insured population is, so plans may have less incentive to compete on the basis of premiums in the Medicare market than in the privately insured market." These concerns have played out in the part D market, where most savings achieved by the program are a result of factors other than competition, including lower enrollment and greater generic utilization. [Center for American Progress, 8/24/12]
Peter Orszag: Creating Competition Doesn't Bring Down Cost For Beneficiaries Of Medicare. According a piece by Peter R. Orszag, former director of the Congressional Budget Office and director of the Office of Management and Budget, creating competition would be more costly for seniors than traditional Medicare:
The vast bulk of health-care costs arise from an extremely small share of patients, whose insurance will inevitably bear a substantial share of their expenses.
That's why competition in health care doesn't work as well as in other sectors, and it's also why the key to keeping costs to a minimum is to encourage providers to offer better, less costly care in complex cases.
Unfortunately, proponents of moving Medicare to a private "consumer-driven" system, including Republican vice presidential hopeful Paul Ryan, seem to instead believe in a health-care competition tooth fairy -- that if we just increase the patient's share of costs and bolster competition among insurance companies, the expense will come down. As Karl Rove recently argued, "Competition will lower costs by using market forces to spur innovation and improvement."
Someone might want to tell that to the Congressional Budget Office, which evaluated Ryan's original 2011 proposal to gradually move all of Medicare to private insurance companies. (In all these comparisons, we must remember that the goal is to reduce total cost -- to the government and the beneficiary combined -- compared with current projections. Merely shifting costs across the two categories is not a particularly impressive accomplishment.)
What did the budget office conclude? "A private health insurance plan covering the standardized benefit would, CBO estimates, be more expensive currently than traditional Medicare." The reason was that "both administrative costs (including profits) and payment rates to providers are higher for private plans than for Medicare." And that effect was larger than any cost savings achieved by people getting less health care. In any Rove-versus-CBO debate that involves economic analysis, I'd put my money on the CBO. [Bloomberg News, 8/20/12]
Erza Klein: No Matter How Much Sense Competition Makes In Theory, It Fails In Practice. According to the Washington Post's Ezra Klein, competition in health care has not brought down the price of health care:
Republicans and Democrats have the same problem with the Congressional Budget Office: it refuses to score competition between health-care plans as a surefire way to lower the cost of health care.
This annoyed Democrats during the health-care reform debate, as it meant the Affordable Care Act didn't get any credit for the competition it would foster on its exchanges. It's annoying Republicans now, as it means their Medicare-reform plans need to impose blunt spending caps if the CBO to certify them as deficit reducing.
But the CBO is in the right here: No matter how much sense competition makes in theory, no matter how obvious it is that it will drive down the price of health care, the fact is that it keeps failing when we put it into practice.
The Medicare program includes Medicare Advantage -- a menu of competitive managed-care options meant to provide better service at a lower cost. That, too, has been a failure.
In order to keep the private options in Medicare, Congress has had to continuously raise their payment rates above those of the traditional Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) program. In June 2007, the Congressional Budget Office wrote (pdf), "Medicare's payments for beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans are higher, on average, than what the program would spend if those beneficiaries were in the FFS sector--so shifts in enrollment out of the FFS program and into private plans increase net Medicare spending."

Proofs of God
Christianity Today's July cover story is about modern Christian apologetics; i.e.,, the use of philisophical arguments for rational arguments in favor of the existence of God. The article, by William Lane Craig, research professor of philosophy at Talbot School of Theology, begins by arguing that theists are once again at philosophy departments:
Back in the 1940s and '50s, many philosophers believed that talk about God, since it is not verifiable by the five senses, is meaningless—actual nonsense. This verificationism finally collapsed, in part because philosophers realized that verificationism itself could not be verified! The collapse of verificationism was the most important philosophical event of the 20th century. Its downfall meant that philosophers were free once again to tackle traditional problems of philosophy that verificationism had suppressed. Accompanying this resurgence of interest in traditional philosophical questions came something altogether unanticipated: a renaissance of Christian philosophy.
. . .
The renaissance of Christian philosophy has been accompanied by a resurgence of interest in natural theology, that branch of theology that seeks to prove God's existence apart from divine revelation. The goal of natural theology is to justify a broadly theistic worldview, one that is common among Christians, Jews, Muslims, and deists. While few would call them compelling proofs, all of the traditional arguments for God's existence, not to mention some creative new arguments, find articulate defenders today.
Professor Craing then describes and defends various traditional proofs of God. Here is an example:
The cosmological argument. Versions of this argument are defended by Alexander Pruss, Timothy O'Connor, Stephen Davis, Robert Koons, and Richard Swinburne, among others. A simple formulation of this argument is:
1. Everything that exists has an explanation of its existence, either in the necessity of its own nature or in an external cause.
2. If the universe has an explanation of its existence, that explanation is God.
3. The universe exists.
4. Therefore, the explanation of the universe's existence is God.
This argument is logically valid, so the only question is the truth of the premises. Premise (3) is undeniable for any sincere seeker of truth, so the question comes down to (1) and (2).
Premise (1) seems quite plausible. Imagine that you're walking through the woods and come upon a translucent ball lying on the forest floor. You would find quite bizarre the claim that the ball just exists inexplicably. And increasing the size of the ball, even until it becomes co-extensive with the cosmos, would do nothing to eliminate the need for an explanation of its existence.
Premise (2) might at first appear controversial, but it is in fact synonymous with the usual atheist claim that if God does not exist, then the universe has no explanation of its existence. Besides, (2) is quite plausible in its own right. For an external cause of the universe must be beyond space and time and therefore cannot be physical or material. Now there are only two kinds of things that fit that description: either abstract objects, like numbers, or else an intelligent mind. But abstract objects are causally impotent. The number 7, for example, can't cause anything. Therefore, it follows that the explanation of the universe is an external, transcendent, personal mind that created the universe—which is what most people have traditionally meant by "God."
Read it all here. Is it just me, or is the defense of premise 2 quite weak? In any event, do these examples of traditional Christian apologetics still have value?
5 Responses to "Proofs of God"
The problem I've had with many of these arguments (including St Anselm's famous ontological argument, is that there's a difference between positing a god and positing our God---a God willingly and personally invested in the fate of not only humanity but individuals. That where a lot of this falls flat for me. The Judaeo-Christin tradition is not the only monotheistic faith out there---there was a fair amount of philosophical monotheism in the Greco-Roman period. One of the great differences is that our God is both compassionate and active.
You've got to take a great deal of care with these arguments. Some of the premises need more defense than the author provides.
Some claims like, "Philosophically, the idea of an infinite past seems absurd," need more defense. Mathematically, the idea of an infinite time or space isn't that absurd and infinity is assumed regularly. You have to give some more to show that an infinite regression of causes isn't satisfactory.
Also, most of these arguments for God do not show that this God still exists. Conceivably, a first mover, designer or prime cause could set all in place and then cease to exist. This is contrary to the Judaeo-Christian revelation that Derek speaks of: our God still lives and is presently a part of the cosmos. These arguments don't take that into account.
Yes, Derek! - The leap of faith needed to connect "a god" with "Holy Trinity" is so vast as to make it irrelevant. The "a god" implied can be The Goddess, Aslan, Brahman, or it can be impersonal such as the currently interesting theory of a 12th dimension of sheets colliding. Philosophy will only bring us so far: into the narthex, if you will.
I like the Eastern Christian idea that "theologian is one who prays". Praying takes place at the altar. In Christian understanding God is not a philosophical proposition but a person by whom we are called into relationship. The *relationship* is the proof - by our love we will be known - and as with any relationship, it's not a head-thing, but a heart thing. It's not what I think about my lover that is important (or theorise about my lover, or write about my lover). When the Hebrew writings call us to "know" God, they use "Da'at" the same word used for "Adam knew his wife." What I "know" (in the Biblical sense) with, in and through my lover is the important thing. True theology needs to go there - and away from that dance with pagan philosophers. We need to get out of our academic and scholastic mind games and into relationship. Less thinking and more praying! Less writing and more liturgy!
I'm not willing to shove God back in a box invented by people who didn't have computers. Their arguments were perhaps valid once, but they seem childish. (Anselm's Ontological Argument seems rather like a George Carlin routine.) We have to grow up sooner or later and enter into an adult-stage of relationship with the God that seeks us and our love.
While I agree with much of what you say, Huw, I'd disagree with "I'm not willing to shove God back in a box invented by people who didn't have computers." I've learned huge amounts about God, faith, humility and joy from people who never conceived of computers. Too, I once mocked Anselm's argument in front of my college roommate--a double-major in math and philosophy--who shrugged and told me that hearing the proof was what compelled him to faith...
It sure wouldn't do that for me--but it was compelling for him. Thus, I won't call it worthless or useless, but it is outside of how I experience and share my faith.
For me faith isn't "just" head or "just" heart--it's a whole-body mix where the parts can't fully be separated.
The various proofs may speak to someone - I'm not denying that. I should have been clear, forgive me: It's not worthless... it's a start. That's and important difference. But to go backwards seems wrong.

She's one of the few: it has struck a chord, even beating an airing of American Idol on Fox.
"Her sincere and nonchalant attitude struck a chord with me," he says.
But it is based on the chord structure of what I played before it, except that it was based on a diminished scale.
A mystery man, chord, steps in and offers Nick the chance to witness her every move from the safety of his computer.
He also receives frequent emails from his online audience, striking a chord with people from all walks of life.
The story of the letter had struck upon a chord of reverence within him.
A mediæval mystic might have likened this chord to the spiritual world.
He strikes but one chord at a time on his lyre, but he leaves you thrilled.
There was a slight bend in the river-bank, and the road crossed this like a chord to its arc.
There was something about the sympathy of that dumb creature which touched a chord not to be reached by anything human.
"related notes in music," 1590s, ultimately a shortening of accord (or borrowed from a similar development in French) and influenced by Latin chorda "catgut, a string" of a musical instrument (see cord (n.)). Spelling with an -h- first recorded c.1600, from confusion with chord (n.2). Originally two notes; of three or more from 18c.
chord (kôrd)
Variant of cord.
In music, the sound of three or more notes played at the same time. The history of Western music is marked by an increase in complexity of the chords composers use.

"Iodine I 131 tositumomab is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory low-grade or transformed low-grade, CD20-positive, B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma."
Revised indication submitted ------------
Corixa submitted a request for standard approval of Bexxar based on demonstration of efficacy in patients with Rituximab refractory follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

ATLANTA - The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday upheld a judgment against a news organization that sued the PGA Tour over the distribution rights of scores from its golf tournaments.
The court ruled the PGA Tour does not violate federal antitrust laws in barring the news media from reporting a golfer's scores as they happen.
Morris Communications Corp. of Augusta brought a lawsuit against the PGA Tour in 2000 after the organization refused to allow Morris to sell real-time tournament scores over the Internet.
The PGA Tour developed its own scoring system to make scoring available to reporters at an on-site media center, but it required credentialed media to delay reporting scores until they are posted on the tour's official Web site, pgatour.com, or until 30 minutes have passed.

In March 2011 the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County's Board of Commissioners approved a new master plan for Willowbrook Wildlife Center in Glen Ellyn. Currently, the District is moving forward with the first phase of improvements outlined in the Willowbrook Wildlife Center Master Plan.
These improvements include a new, enlarged permeable-paver parking lot to accommodate increased visitation, the expansion and renovation of an existing support building, and the construction of new space to house the District's native species recovery program. At first this new space will serve as office space for the center; it will temporarily house Willowbrook's staff until further build-out of the master plan is complete.
Funding for the master plan improvements were provided by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity's reassignment of $3 million of land-acquisition grant funds. The balance will come from other secured donations.

Ratings for Dr. Tina M. Alessi
This lady is horrible! Hands down the worst. Should not be caring for patients. Nothing short of a b***h! Made my birth experience terrible. She brings down Dr. Garfinkles whole office. Fire her already. You can do better!
She is cold and condescending. She worked very hard on making an annual even more unpleasant than it already is. I will only be seeing doctors from now on.
Incompetent, arrogant, lacks knowledge and compassion. She is Not a doctor but pretends to be one. She is cold and I would give her zero starts if I could. She saw me in the hospital after my emergency c section, gave me an innacurate exam and almost discharged me though I had uncontrolled pre-eclampsia. I insisted on seeing a doctor and saw Dr. Lagaduva who was wonderful.
Tina is absolutely wonderful! I have gone through a handful of disappointing gynecologists, Tina is a breath a fresh air.
Tina is absolutely wonderful !! I switched to her when I was 20 weeks pregnant with my first child and couldn't be happier ! I now see her for regular yearly visits as well. She is professional, warm and knowledgable. I have recommended several other friends to see her and they all love her as well !

Good morning, everyone! My computer is a little screwy, so I'm trying to take care of that ASAP. Also, I had a rough time at the dentist yesterday, so it's all about the soft foods. Ugh.
Don't forget to check in on our Lost discussion. And here are a few headlines:
- Sad news: Actor Robert Culp has died. He starred on the '60s TV series I Spy.
- At the Movies has been canceled. The long-running show was popularized by Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert.
- James Franco has a short story in Esquire magazine.
- Is Tim Burton interested in a live-action Sleeping Beauty?
- Here's a great interview with Nestor Carbonell about his performance on Lost this week.
- Iggy Pop is through with stagediving.
- The Hollywood Reporter calls Hot Tub Time Machine "a loud, disjointed and not terribly funny comedy." (I've never been able to muster much enthusiasm for this one.) The Chicago Tribune, however, praises it as "merrily idiotic."
- John Cusack says it all: If you have a title like Hot Tub Time Machine, that's a stupid title."
- And the title of Lost's final episode is ... honestly, you should look. It's not a spoiler. In fact, it doesn't really reveal anything!
- I kind of like this YouTube video of one cute boy (x2) singing a medley of TV theme songs. (Thanks, Russ.)
- Diablo Cody is working on a new screenplay.
- The Guardian talks to Kick-Ass creator Mark Millar.
- Here's a trailer for The Big C, the new Showtime series starring Laura Linney.
- Here's a fun Glee promo for the Madonna episode.
- More Glee: Everyone is talking about Sue Sylvester's rant about "Sneaky Gays." ("Neil Patrick Harris? You confuse me!") Ha.
- Green Day is being sued for, ahem, "ripping a man's face off."
- Megan Mullally pulled out of a play two weeks before its first preview. It co-stars Lili Taylor and Patton Oswalt; I was really looking forward to it.
- We have a story about new Star Wars toys that will be timed to the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back.
- A hearty thanks to anyone who has told me I resemble Kitty Pryde from the cover of Uncanny X-Men #522. (It's on sale now!)
- And finally, here's a funny list of insane moments from Japanese TV.

Automatically Archive Sent Messages in Outlook 2013 - April 07, 2015
The option to save Sent messages in a local folder is no longer available in Outlook 2013.

Have a Heart/My Wife My Man
Is this just a dream once more?
Just the dream I dreamt before
- Verse 1
Ruddy: Oh, the sad time I've had,
Peggy dear, away from you,
Peggy: Oh, yes, I believe you were glad
Of the holiday, It's true.
Ruddy: Why it drove me half mad
I could find, I swear,
No plan
Of life,
Peggy: Was it really so bad?
Did you really care?
My man!
Ruddy: My Wife!
- Refrain
There's only just we two
In all the world, you see.
For I was made for you
You dear, for me!
You dear for me!
And life may bring us joy.
Or Life may bring us pain
Cruel or kind we shall not mind
Now we're together once again.
Gladness and grief alike we'll share
Grief will be joy if you are there.
- Verse 2
Peggy: Ruddy dear, do you fear
That perhaps you may regret?
Ruddy: Not I!
Do you wish, now you're here,
You were miles away? Peggy: My pet!
I'd die!
Ruddy: Can you trust to me, dear,
To be always true
Through life?
Peggy: I can;
All my doubts disappear
As I cling to you,
Ruddy: My wife!
Peggy: My man!
- Refrain
The road that lies before
Is dark and hard to see.
what e'er fate holds in store,
Try it with me!
Try it with me!
What through we missed it once.
We did not understand.
Better today we know the way
So let us set out hand in hand.
Love for our path a light we'll make
shining to guide the steps we take.

I originally wrote this a couple of years ago, as a guest post for my friend John at Living With Balls. It remains one of my mom's favorites, so I'm re-posting it for her. Also, because I'm (semi)determined to keep that promise I made to myself, to post something here once a week — but I'm horribly lazy and refuse produce anything of real value today. What I'm trying to say is: You're welcome, Mom.
(begin scene)
Husband: (walks into office and sees multiple photos of testicles on computer screen) Good lord! What the hell are you doing?
ME: I'm doing research about balls.
Husband: Why are you researching balls?
ME: Because I'm writing a guest post for John.
Husband: Who's John?
ME: John is a guy with a blog called "Living With Balls."
Husband: John has a blog about his balls?
ME: Yeah. Well, I mean, it's not JUST about balls. It's about all kinds of man stuff.
Husband: Man stuff.
ME: Yeah, you know, like sports and chicks and stuff.
Husband: And he asked YOU to write something for it?
ME: Yeah.
Husband: About balls?
ME:Well, the balls were MY idea.
Husband: Why?
ME: I want to be topical.
Husband: No, I mean WHY does John want you to write something for his man blog?
ME: Because he likes me.
Husband: John likes you.
ME: Yeah.
Husband: John, with the blog about his balls.
ME: Yeah.
Husband: Where does this John live?
ME: I'm not sure. New England, I think.
Husband: Where in New England?
ME: What do you mean?
Husband: I mean, what STATE does he live in?
ME: Are you deaf? I told you. New England.
Husband: New England is not a state.
ME: Yes it is.
Husband: No, it's not.
ME: Yes it is.
Husband: No. It's not.
ME: Yes, it IS. They have their own baseball team and everything, duh.
Husband: ???!?
ME: The New England Patriots? HELLO? Try to keep up, honey.
Husband: The New England Patriots are a FOOTBALL team.
ME: Well, whatever. They play for the state of New England.
Husband: New England is not a state.
ME: Then why does it have its own football team?
Husband: Having a football team does NOT automatically make you a state. What about the Seattle Seahawks? Or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Do you think THOSE are states, too?
ME: No, but those aren't real teams.
Husband: WHAT?!?
ME:They're FANTASY teams.
Husband: ????!?!!??!!?
ME: You know, like in fantasy football.
Husband: You have no idea what fantasy football is, do you.
ME: Sure I do. It's a pretend league of made-up football teams that people play for or coach or something.Online. You know, like Dungeons and Dragons.
Husband: Are you serious?
ME: Why wouldn't I be serious?
Husband: I can't believe you're actually a functioning human adult right now.
ME: You know, SOME people really appreciate my amazing talent.
Husband: Some people.
ME: Yes.
Husband: Like John.
ME: Exactly.
Husband: John, who has a blog about his balls.
ME: Yes. He likes me. He liked my post about killer squirrels and mullets. HE can recognize quality blogging when he sees it.
Husband: Obviously.
ME: Are you being sarcastic?
Husband: Of course not. NOTHING says "quality blogging" like mullets and squirrels.
ME: And Billy Ray Cyrus with a squirrel on his head. Don't forget that part.
Husband: How could I?
ME: You know, it's really amazing that more people aren't falling all over themselves asking me to guest post for them.
Husband: Absolutely.
ME: Are you being sarcastic again?
Husband: (nodding head) Nope.
ME: (finishing Photoshopped picture of balls) Okay, I think it's done. What do you think?
Husband: (speechless)
ME: I'm going to take that silence as your approval.
Husband: You DO realize what that looks like. Right?
ME: Of COURSE I do. I'm employing SYMBOLIC IMAGERY. I DID graduate from college, you know.
Husband: And you're obviously putting that education to excellent use.
ME: You can mock me if you want, but this guest post is going to be AWESOME. John and I are like the best combination EVER.
Husband: Absolutely. It's a match made in heaven.
ME: Are you being sarcastic again?
Husband: Can I go now?
(end scene)Stumble it!

These mini cakes are a lot like macaroons: Crisp on the outside, thanks to plenty of almond meal, and tender inside, from the combination of maple syrup and coconut oil. Not only are these little cakes dairy- and gluten-free but they're also packed with nutritious ingredients, including chia seeds, flaxseeds, and flours ground from whole grains and nuts.
The flavors of pure vanilla (bean and extract), almond and coconut create a fragrant and flavorful combination. The cakes are perfect on their own served with tea, but when topped with a dab of the rhubarb compote they're nothing short of irresistible. The pretty pink color and bright flavor of rhubarb instantly bring the essence of spring to the table.
Here, the rhubarb is roasted with maple syrup and maple sugar, subtly tempering its sour flavor. Roasting rhubarb also creates a thicker compote than when it's simmered. Try serving it with rice pudding, English scones or a simple pound cake.
Almond-Vanilla Mini Cakes with Roasted Rhubarb Compote
Makes 18
Be sure to remove these cakes from the oven as soon as they're ready, as extra time in the oven will dry them out.
2 tablespoons chia seeds
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons almond milk
¼ cup maple syrup
¼ cup melted extra virgin coconut oil
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon pure almond extract
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
½ vanilla bean
¼ cup gluten-free rolled oats
¼ cup gluten-free oat flour
1 cup almond meal
¼ cup unsweetened dried coconut
2 tablespoons brown rice flour
2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
½ teaspoon baking powder
Roasted Rhubarb Compote, for serving (recipe below)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a mini muffin pan with paper liners and set aside.
Add chia seeds to a medium bowl. Whisk in almond milk and set aside for 10 to 15 minutes or until thickened. Add maple syrup, coconut oil, salt, and almond and vanilla extracts; whisk to combine. Split vanilla bean in half lengthwise, scrape out seeds, (reserve pod for another use) add them to the bowl and whisk to combine and set aside.
Place oats, oat flour, almond meal, coconut, rice flour, flax and baking powder into a food processor and process until oats are ground. Transfer to the bowl with the chia mixture and stir to combine. Drop batter into prepared pan and bake for 16 minutes or until tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Serve topped with roasted rhubarb compote. Store any leftover cakes in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Roasted Rhubarb Compote
Be sure to choose the pinkest rhubarb here, as it will give you the prettiest result. When making this compote, you will be left with excess juice — use it to drizzle over yogurt or fruit salads for a bright tangy flavor.
3 cups diced rhubarb (½ inch dice) from about 3 large stems
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons maple sugar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Add chopped rhubarb, maple syrup and maple sugar, and toss to combine. Roast for 15 minutes, remove from oven and set aside to cool. Transfer rhubarb to a strainer and drain off excess juice. Place in a jar and store in the fridge until ready to use, or for up to 4 days.

Best Of :: People & Places
We've all had to attend stuffy banquets at country clubs, at the Heard Museum (where the Arizona Press Club has recently held its awards ceremony), or at some other hoity-toity spot in the PHX, only to wish we could get down to some real partying before the night is through. Well, the Wrigley Mansion is the perfect place for this. The Wrigley will be only too happy to reserve some space for you and yours to loosen your tie/let your hair down in its spacious digs, originally built by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. for his wife, Ada. Or you can just drop in, and it'll probably be open (on that note, though, it pays to call ahead if the hour gets late, because the bar's been known to close if customers are lacking). Thing is, there's a lot to love about the sprawling Wrigley, owned by jazz aficionado and meatpacking heir Geordie Hormel, until his death earlier this year (thus the name of the mansion's restaurant, Geordie's). From the large bar, where jazz combos play, to the manor-house-like rooms, complete with plush couches and cushy chairs (the large room off the bar contains the mansion's famous player piano), to the balconies overlooking the Phoenix skyline, the Wrigley Mansion is a nocturnal knockout. Speaking of the balconies, they're the perfect place for romance, plus other pleasures of the flesh, because nobody's going to bother you up there.
The Tricks' garden has Eden beat, no contest. Built around two old houses in downtown Tempe well off the beaten beer-spilled path of Mill Avenue the trellised, bricked, vine-covered spot is the perfect place to sit at the bar or relax at a table, with a good glass of wine. And one more thing we can guarantee: No one in Eden knew how to cook the way the Tricks do with menu temptations like marinated quail with a coffee honey vinaigrette or pistachio-crusted rack of lamb. Paradise.
According to the Bible, our ancient ancestors Adam and Eve grew ashamed at their nudity in the Garden of Eden after sampling forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge, and thusly, mankind was forever cursed with a sense of body modesty. Well, you can finally feel good about dropping trou outside the confines of your residence (without getting thrown in the cooler) inside the confines of El Dorado Hot Springs. This picturesque mineral-water spa located 45 miles west of the Valley is a clothing-optional compound with a bounty of bathing pools and tubs filled with natural H2O pumped straight from a subterranean spring. Five private areas located inside fenced areas and historic buildings including a small post office where old-school civil servants soaked their letter-carrying carcasses back in the day allow you to take a dip away from the prying eyes of the public for only $10 an hour per person. If you're feeling a bit more exhibitionistic, there's also a semi-private pool for $7.50 an hour per person. Cell phones and cameras are forbidden, however, so you needn't worry about any saucy pics of your skinny-dipping adventures getting posted on the Internet.
The appletini is the quintessential frou-frou cocktail. Flirty. Tasteful. Fun. Grilled Expedition at Desert Ridge Marketplace offers an appletini that's shaken, not stirred, and garnished with a Granny Smith apple slice. Its house special martini isn't exactly a trade secret just vodka with a splash of sour apple liquor but the restaurant's bartenders manage to get just the perfect combination of sweet and tart. This is an apple that will definitely sink its teeth into you.
Phoenix summers are hell. By August, the only flowers left alive in this town are on night-blooming cactuses. Wright House proprietors Peggy and Michael Wright must have made a pact with Satan's gardener, because somehow their lush landscaping manages to stay green and flowering nearly all year. The property houses three buildings a historic cottage house, an English ballroom and a recently added French villa that can be rented for weddings, special occasions and private parties. Wrought-iron fences and delicate gazebos are covered with ivy and fragrant jasmine. Stone walkways snake through country gardens planted with roses and perennials bursting in vibrant shades of fuchsia, pink and saffron. The best part? There's not one goddamned cactus on the lot.
For those of you who specialize in committing the most profane acts of immorality, now you can royally piss off God in a variety of ways at Apollo's Greek God Revue. As if the infamously sassy GLBT clientele that frequents Apollo's wasn't enough to get on the Lord's bad side, now guests can further annoy the Most High with the overt idolatry of Dionysian-loving tranny sing-alongs, the likes of which some fundamentalists might say could invoke the wrath of God with more urgency than the folks in those little towns called Sodom and Gomorrah. To add injury, the party happens every Sunday night, a day typically reserved by the rightest of the right for spiritual fasting and meditation. Perhaps the guys at Apollo's view their wacky Sunday night Greek drag extravaganzas as worshipful in their own way. Since the Lord hasn't struck them down yet, be sure not to miss a week; that would really light up this already fabulous party!

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba (NNS) -- More than 200 U.S. Navy Sailors and their guests celebrated the Seabees' 68th birthday in the Windjammer Ballroom at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Mar. 13.
The event also celebrated the 168th anniversary of Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) and the 143rd anniversary of the Civil Engineer Corps (CEC).
NAVFAC, which was previously known as the Navy Bureau of Yards and Docks, was established in 1842. CEC was established in 1867.
Capt. Dwyn Taylor, a guest speaker at the event and the operations officer for NAVFAC Southeast, shared personal stories with guests, focusing on the Seabees' "Can Do" spirit, demonstrated through their support of military and humanitarian assistance around the world.
"It takes a lot of work and effort to put together an event like this," said Taylor. "As you all know, Gitmo (Guantanamo Bay) is one of the best places to have a Seabee ball in the world."
Taylor asked the attendees to, "Remember the thousands of service members who are deployed and are operating in harm's way."
Currently there are more than 3,000 active duty and Reserve Seabees deployed to over 30 locations worldwide including Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Djibouti, Haiti and Guantanamo Bay.
"These deployed service members are actively supporting the War on Terror," said Taylor.
Taylor praised the Seabees from Guantanamo Bay for their contributions to the recovery effort in Haiti following the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that devastated the region Jan. 12.
"I am sure that every single person in this room has contributed to the efforts in support of Operation Unified Response," said Taylor.
The NAVFAC team was credited with providing planning, support for emergency operations, providing critical utilities and augmenting personnel for Combined Task Force 48.
"I would like to thank you all for a job well done," said Taylor.
In addition to contributions supporting the crisis in Haiti, Guantanamo Bay's Public Works Self Help Team has been instrumental to improving base facilities and maintaining a high quality of life.
"This is who we (Seabees) are, what we stand for," Taylor said, "You can't put a price on the opportunity to build freedom."
Attendees enjoyed dinner, dancing and a traditional cake-cutting ceremony led by the oldest and youngest Seabees in attendance.
The junior officers attached to NAVSTA Guantanamo Bay's Public Works department provided one of the highlights of the event when they led the audience in singing "The Song of the Seabees."
"The ball was held in honor of all Seabees, Civil Engineer Corps officers and NAVFAC staff, past and present, who paved the way to victory," said Cmdr. Wendy Halsey, NAVSTA Guantanamo Bay's public works officer. "In addition, it honored all of those who are following in their footsteps."

I don't think this problem will be resolved. I explicitly programmed
this behaviour to workaround a possible problem that could arise when
the m0n0box is unable to get the mac of the client. In this case mac
authentication should NEVER happen since you don't know which user you
are authenticating)
I also wrote this in the GUI:
Disable MAC filtering
If this option is set, no attempts will be made to ensure that the MAC
address of clients stays the same while they're logged in. This is
required when the MAC address of the client cannot be determined
(usually because there are routers between m0n0wall and the clients). If
this is enabled, RADIUS MAC authentication cannot be used.
You're asking it like this (different situation):
I have 2 AP: A and B with mac authentication enabled.
If client connects to B, I want A to mac authenticate the client before
allowing it access to B. This is impossible ;)

Probably not since its not an issue, it was designed this way, I will
think about it. If somebody can give me a good reason, but actually I'm
surprised that Pass-Through MAC is allowed when you enable the "disable
mac filtering" feature :)))

Pirelli has announced it will drop soft tyres for the Bahrain Grand Prix, though it insisted it had nothing to do with the troubles faced in China last weekend.
The company, which supplies the tyres for Formula 1, said on Wednesday it initially planned to offer three compounds for Bahrain. But a decision was made after the Malaysian GP to use only medium and hard compounds in Bahrain due to the similarities in the two circuits, the warmer temperatures, as well as the desert sand that can "provoke graining" which reduces tyre grip.
The team said the decision had nothing to do with the Chinese GP, where complaints about tyres took centre stage.
Some drivers said soft tyres were degrading after one lap and several teams started the race on harder tyres.

Online Energy Audit Tool for Fanatics
A lot of the energy saving websites offer decent, generic info, but not enough for the serious energy efficiency DIYer. Those of you who have read the FAQs and guides of their local utilites know what I'm talking about: I don't need to be told to run the dishwasher only when I have a full load or that my furnace will run more when it's colder outside. Feh. I want to know estimates of how much new windows with a low U rating will impact my natural gas bill, and make sure the estimates account for the trees in my yard and the orientation of my house. I want a tool that factors in the shape of my house, number of doors and skylights, and the color of the shingles on my roof. And I don't want to pay someone $300+ to do an energy audit on my house either--I can handle the details.
Enter the Home Energy Saver:
This U.S. Dept. of Energy website is basically a free, web based version of the expensive software packages engineering consultants and utility companies use for energy audits. The HES allows steps you through the usual home energy audit questions and produces a good report when complete, but the amount of customization it offers the DIYer is unmatched by any other website I've found. You can run it in a fairly generic mode to produce an overall report, then continue to refine the model as you gather details about your house and plug them in. Each time you make changes, you can rerun the simulation and see the how your report changes. It also assigns you a session ID that you can use to continue working on your simulations at a later date, without having to reenter all of your settings. The HES simulation of my house produced an estimate of yearly energy costs that was within 8% of my actual costs, so the HES calculations and data it are pretty accurate.

Senator Flanagan's Letter To Newsday Regarding Price Of Gasoline
Boosting gas prices is not the answer
Newsday's editorial page recently criticized the state for working to provide tax relief at the gas pump. Newsday again repeated its call for higher gas prices to change drivers' behavior ["Gasonomics," Editorial, May 10].
But a policy of inflicting greater fiscal pain to force consumers to make smarter energy choices is the wrong approach. We need to offer friendly incentives to change behavior, especially when paychecks of hardworking Americans are already stretched thin to cover basic family expenses.
People need tax relief now and not a hard-learned lesson. And government has an obligation to respond. The state deserves credit for capping its sales tax on gasoline to provide some needed relief at the pump and for acting while others talk.
Furthermore, Suffolk and Nassau should join the state in capping its portion of gasoline taxes to provide Long Island motorists with an even greater benefit. Make no mistake, this is not a substitute for promoting energy efficiency, conservation and alternative energy sources. Government must continue working on delivering results in these important areas as well.
Besides capping gasoline taxes, consumers need programs that encourage them to make smarter energy choices through incentives. One example is New York State's Clean Pass Program, which allows low-emission, energy-efficient vehicles to use the HOV lane on the Long Island Expressway with no passenger restrictions. Another is the Senate majority's proposal to provide tax incentives for drivers who purchase hybrid vehicles.
Consumers deserve more "environmentally friendly" programs that extend a welcoming hand - not a slap on the wrist.
State Sen. John J. Flanagan
(R-East Northport)

I have a Franco belge 10,275 pea coalstove. I bought it 5 years ago used and never had a problem with it before. I in the spring I clean the manifold that carries the hot gas to the flu by snaking a tube into it. This works and is efficient but it means I haven't inspected the stove for a couple of years. Nor do I open. The inspection/clean out doors.
I shut it down as we were out of town for new years eve. Before I fired it up again I decided to give the insides a look and I removed the cover (for the first time in a couple of years). I found the clean out doors on the got gas manifold (it runs along each side and then across the back) barely attached. They were hanging there with gaps visible. It it a testament to the design that the stove would run that way. It also implies there was a lot of air going into the exhaust before the damper.
I inspected more carefully (lesson learned this should be done annually) and found the root cause to be that the manifold for hot gas across the back has warped significantly . I also found crack in the front plate and in the manifold on the side of the stove.
I had been running the thermostat on number 8 of 9 for a month. It was consuming 3.5 to 4 15 pound buckets of coal daily. I have the damper is set as light as possible and it pulls a lot of air. The ash generated is very low. The thermometer on the top of the stove never goes above 350 F.
Does this sound like I overheated it by running it at 8 for that long? Or do stoves just warp over time?
Also does anyone have a good recommendation for a replacement? We like hopper fed parlor style stoves as this is our second heat source.
John y.
One addition. I got 5 years out of the The sacrificial back plate, hopper feed and grates that are in there now.

I come from a long line of porch sitters.
There's no better place to watch the world on an early autumn afternoon, a cup of cider in one hand and a good book in the other.
Now that fall weather is finally here in the deep south, I'm delighted to welcome you to my front porch.
I really like to keep my porch decor simple: a few pumpkins, pansies, mums and gourds and not much more.
That leaves more time for napping and reading and chatting with good friends like you.
I hope you'll stay awhile, but I also want you to check out my how my blogging friends have decorated their porches for fall. So, be sure to click over to the other fall front porch tours when you finish here with mine. There's a full list at the end of this post of 25 bloggers who are showcasing their fall porches this week.
Nothing quite says fall mums. And the yellow ones are my favorites.
You can never have too many pumpkins or gourds or ornamental cabbages and kale in your fall decor.
And pansies are always a sign of fall.
I love them planted around cinderella pumpkins.
And I'm definitely not a traditionalist when it comes to pumpkins. I love the dusty blue ones, the bumpy ones and gnarly ones. The "uglier" they are, the prettier they are in my eyes.
A simple lantern fliled with mini pumpkins provides a nice pop of color at the front door.
So does an easy handmade wreath, adorned with faux mums.
Don't ask me what my favorite part of fall is. I'm not sure I could answer.
It might be the pumpkin-flavored treats or candy corn snacks.
It might be the pumpkins and gourds and flowers and apples.
Or cooler days and brisk nights when you break out a blanket and a piping hot beverage.
Or maybe I love all that fall is and all that it represents.
I hope you've enjoyed my simple fall decorating ideas for the front porch. Be sure to check out the other fall porch tour participants for lots more porch decorating ideas.
The following is the Schedule of the Fall Porch Tours:
Monday, Oct 14th
1 ) Worthing Court
Tuesday, Oct 15th
Wednesday, Oct 16th
3) Confessions of a Plate Addict
Thursday, Oct 17th
