WASHINGTON Baby Boomers are about to create a record population explosion in the nation's health care program for seniors.
Starting on Saturday, Baby Boomers begin turning 65 and qualifying for Medicare — one every eight seconds. A record 2.8 million will qualify in 2011, rising to 4.2 million a year by 2030, projections show.
In all, the government expects 76 million Boomers will age on to Medicare. Even factoring in deaths over that period, the program will grow from 47 million today to 80 million in 2030.
At the same time, health care costs are projected to outpace inflation, and medical advances will extend lives, straining the program's finances. It's expected to cost $929 billion by 2020, an 80% increase over 10 years.
CULTURE: Boomers turn TV, pop music into art

The prospect of a growing senior population that's living longer and costing more is the biggest fiscal problem facing the government, budget and health experts say. It will put more pressure on President Obama and Congress to reduce Medicare benefits, increase co-payments or raise the qualifying age.
"We're at the beginning of the age wave, which will bring a tsunami of spending associated with the Medicare program," says David Walker, a former U.S. comptroller general now heading the Comeback America Initiative, a fiscal watchdog group. "It serves to reinforce the need to reform existing entitlement programs and restructure existing health care promises in order to make them affordable and sustainable."

CBS NEWS: More on Baby Boomers
Millions of Baby Boomers began signing up for Social Security three years ago at age 62, if they chose early retirement. And millions already are in Medicare as a result of a disability — including 6,000 born on Jan. 1, 1946 — the first day of the Baby Boom.
The senior boom that's about to begin, however, will dwarf those numbers. Each year, the number of beneficiaries will increase by about 3%, while the number of workers rises by less than 1%.
As a result, the number of workers per beneficiary is projected to drop from 3.4 today to 2.3 in 2030.
What's worse, the Boomers will cost more as they age — a process that doesn't apply to Social Security benefits, which rise only with the cost of living.
"Most people turning 65 today are actually in pretty good health," says John Rother, director of legislation and public policy for AARP, the nation's largest seniors group. "The true financial impact is still years away."
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services pegs the annual cost for each new Medicare beneficiary at $7,700 — and rising. The program had been slated to run out of money in 2017, but Medicare's government trustees reported this year that the new health care law could extend solvency to 2029 — if payments to doctors and other providers are slashed, which appears unlikely.
Seniors' groups are geared up to fight any proposed cuts to Medicare that don't apply to all health care. "Medicare is a reflection of health care costs in the overall American population," says Maria Freese of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. "If all you do is cut Medicare, then all you're doing is rationing care for older people and the disabled."
As Medicare handles tens of millions of additional beneficiaries, however, a shortage of health care providers could worsen.
Gail Wilensky, former head of the Medicare and Medicaid systems, says the nation will need more primary care doctors and nurses, gerontologists, nursing home workers, and physical and occupational therapists. "All of those are in short supply," she says.

Report: Facebook May Purchase Opera for $1 Billion, Improve Mobile Experience
Tiffany Kaiser
May 29, 2012 10:07 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: digitaltrends.com)
The purchase could not only enhance the social network's limited mobile experience, but also help Facebook draw in mobile game developers and improve mobile monetization
Facebook may be looking to purchase web browser Opera in an effort to enhance the social network's mobile experience, but such a takeover would cost it around $1 billion.
In many ways, Facebook is one of the internet's top dogs. It has over 900 million active users, and just recently launched the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history with a
valuation of over $100 billion
However, there is one thing Facebook doesn't have: a stellar mobile experience.
Prior to
the IPO launch
, many investors worried that Facebook hadn't found a way to make money from an increasing number of users who log on to Facebook using mobile devices. The company's amended S-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this month mentioned that Facebook revenue will decline as more user's access the site from mobile devices instead of PCs.
"If users increasingly access Facebook mobile products as a substitute for access through personal computers, and if we are unable to successfully implement monetization strategies for our mobile users, or if we incur excessive expenses in this effort, our financial performance and ability to grow revenue would be negatively affected," said the filing.
Now, Facebook is looking to purchase Opera Software in hopes of addressing its mobile problems. The purchase could not only enhance the social network's limited mobile experience, but also help Facebook draw in mobile game developers and improve mobile monetization.
Opera is the perfect answer for Facebook, considering it is available on many different phones and works on various operating systems. Opera makes browsers capable of spanning many platforms like smartphones, PCs, TVs and tablets.
In addition, Opera can compress data by 90 percent, which helps users save money on data charges. The browser can also display advertisements efficiently, and it has significant market share in markets where Facebook is barely present, like India and Brazil.
However, $1 billion for an Opera Software purchase is a pretty hefty sum. Neither Facebook nor Opera have confirmed the bid, but Facebook could face trouble with competitors like Google who want in on Opera as well.
Google and Opera already have a solid relationship due to Opera being a default search partner worldwide outside of Russia/CIS. This means that the search giant likely won't let Facebook step in so easily.
Facebook recently made a
$1 billion purchase of photo sharing program Instagram
in order to help its mobile presence, but the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is currently investigating the acquisition because it is over $68.2 million.
There are also reports that Facebook will
launch a phone of its own
by next year, and may be plotting to purchase HTC to do so. The phone is code-named "Buffy" for now, and will have HTC hardware with Facebook making the software.
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

The law allows Massachusetts to accept a Learner's Permit from another state, if issued under a law similar to the Massachusetts Learner's Permit law. You will have to convert your out-of-state Learner's Permit to a Massachusetts Learner's Permit before you will be allowed to take the road test. In order to do so, you must present a certified copy of your driving record (the certification date cannot be more than thirty [30] days old), from the state that issued your Learner's Permit. You must have held the Learner's Permit for at least six (6) months (with a "clean driving record"-see question # 6) and meet all the other requirements of the new law.
Please note that Massachusetts will not accept a Learner's Permit from British Columbia, Montana or Washington State. (Before you can take a road test, however, you must also either successfully complete a Massachusetts Driver Education Course or provide evidence that you have successfully completed such a course in your previous home state. To convert an out-of-state Driver's Education Certificate, read the response to question # 10. Please note that the Registrar will not accept a Driver's Education Certificate from a state that does not meet or exceed the number of hours of classroom and in-vehicle instruction required of Massachusetts residents.

We might be more multicultural, but not many know that 79,000 Australians speak Tagalog. Brisbane might look blonde, but it no longer laughs when it calls itself the Smart State.
Everywhere there are more apartments but, somehow, there are also more four-bedroom places. And would the last Anglican out of Melbourne's churches please turn off the lights.
Data addicts are having fun this weekend. The release of the census figures has caught Australia in a moment of time (a cold night last winter) and the image is making a lie of a lot of stereotypes. We like to think we know who we are.
We are, after all, inundated with surveys, polls and political rhetoric about what Australians are about. But most surveys have something to spin; the census is about making sense.
So let's make some sense of the stats. Trawling through them, you are forced to rethink many bon mots about the country – some of them old, some of them new.
The Italian migrant, with a median age of 68, is more likely to be in a nursing home than a greengrocer. The Asian migrant is more likely to be a woman and the migrant with Muslim beliefs isn't found much outside Sydney.
We're also kissing goodbye to WASP religions of Anglicans, Presbyterians and the Uniting Church; not many of us are keeping house and the old slum suburbs are the new It suburbs. How else do you explain the fact that Sydney's Redfern has twice the rate of university educated people as the rest of the country?
But the biggest myths we spread about ourselves are about our cities. We tell ourselves that Sydney is gay and sexy, that Melbourne is cerebral and cosmopolitan, that Brisbane is dim and white and Perth is like Brisbane but with more blokes. Well, one out of four isn't good enough.
When you slip the figures over the face of Sydney, you'll find a place where there are more married couples than Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth. You'll also find the highest number of urban Catholics and a reasonable show of Anglicans. Sin city, indeed.
Some of our ideas about Sydney prove true. It is the most dense city with four out of 10 homes either units or townhouses. It's also got a fair swag of renters and it has the highest number of Islamic believers. But even though Sydney might be home to the longest commutes in the country, it has one of the lowest rates of car ownership, so it could be worse.
One thing that can be said of Sydney is that it isn't grounded in the past. Only 39 per cent of Sydneysiders can refer to the Australia that their parents knew because only four out of 10 had both parents born in Australia.
Melbourne, funky Melbourne, is actually the youngest of our big cities. It has the highest percentage of 25 to 29-year-olds. So that explains the small bars. It's also educated, with more residents boasting university degrees than Sydney, but it is less establishment. If you measure the establishment by the influence of Anglicanism, then Melbourne gave up on it faster than any other city (down from 17 to 10 per cent).
In other respects, though, Melbourne is looking pretty suburban. Only 28 per cent of its housing stock is high density and it has a relatively low percentage of renters – below other cities and the Australian average.
The big demographic surprise is Brisbane. It is the least married of all the big cities and it has education levels that rival Melbourne and beat Sydney. Queensland – beautiful one day, brainy the next.
But Brisbane lives up to its reputation of being the white-bread capital. People there mostly say that both their parents were born in Australia (55 per cent) and among their top religions, the Presbyterians still figure. They've also clung to the suburban dream because only 20 per cent of homes are of the high-density variety.
Finally Perth lives up to its reputation as the place for boys behaving badly. Yes, it has a higher proportion of men than the other cities (still not higher than women though) and it has the lowest rate of education (only 16 per cent have a degree) and it's the least likely to have no cars in the household.
Perth people are also light on beliefs. No religion is the biggest belief system there.
But the biggest lie of civic image is found in Adelaide. The city of churches is officially the most secular of all the cities with 28 per cent saying "no religion" was their inclination.
There's one statistical trend that binds all of our cities. We're all getting squeezier. In every major city, the number of single person households is on the decline and the number of group households is growing strongly.
And the city that has the most people fighting over stale milk in the shared fridge? No, it's not Sydney with its high rents and it's not Melbourne with it's booming population. It's Brisbane.
Go figure.

After a rather inspiring hour of TV debate, here was my take. Who won? No-score draw, I reckon. Will it change anything? No. Was it worth it? Not really. For another take go to the Westminster blog, which is plumping for Vince Cable as the victor.
So boxed-in are the three candidates for chancellor by the budgetary arithmetic that there was broad agreement on the main tasks facing the next occupant of Number 11.
All agree that cutting the budget deficit is a top priority and it will require a tougher spending settlement than those under Mrs Thatcher in the 1980s. None wanted to tell the audience in the studio or at home what deep cuts they had in mind although they each had some small examples to give the impression they were tackling the problem.
They all accepted that pensions for public sector workers should be trimmed and those employed by the state could not have a guarantee of their jobs. They all agreed taxes would rise and did not rule out changing income tax or value added tax. A brain drain of the richest was an exaggerated threat, they chorused, suggesting their priorities lay elsewhere. The government should address inequalities and bankers' bonuses were outrageous. Banks should lend more and this was one the necessary ingredients for securing growth in the economy.
That much was agreed, so the disagreements were relatively minor.

Texas Attorney-General's Office:
An Inventory of Attorney General Correspondence and Other Material at the Texas State Archives, 1874-1930, bulk 1880-1914
Agency History
The Attorney General is the lawyer for the people of Texas and is charged by the Texas Constitution to: defend the laws and the Constitution of the State of Texas, represent the State in litigation, and approve public bond issues. To fulfill these responsibilities, the Office of the Attorney General serves as legal counsel to all boards and agencies of state government, issues legal opinions when requested by the Governor, heads of state agencies and other officials and agencies as provided by Texas statutes, sits as an ex-officio member of state committees and commissions, and defends challenges to state laws and suits against both state agencies and individual employees of the State.
The Office of the Attorney General has taken on numerous other roles through the years. Texas statutes contain nearly 2000 references to the Attorney General. In addition to its constitutionally prescribed duties, the Office of the Attorney General files civil suits upon referral by other state agencies. In some circumstances, the Attorney General has original jurisdiction to prosecute violations of the law, but in most cases, criminal prosecutions by the Attorney General are initiated only upon the request of a local prosecutor. Although the Attorney General is prohibited from offering legal advice or representing private individuals, he serves and protects the rights of all citizens of Texas through the activities of the various divisions of the agencies.
The office of the attorney general was created by an executive ordinance passed by the 1836 Constitutional Convention. Successors were presidential appointees by act of the First Congress, October 6, 1836. The practice of executive appointment continued during the first years of statehood, but in 1850 the office became elective. The position now exists under authority of Article IV, Sections 1 and 22 of the Constitution of 1876 and Texas Government Code, Chapter 402. In 1972, the term of office was extended from two to four years, effective in 1975.
During the nineteenth century, the attorney general provided legal advice to all upon request; requests are now limited to officials and agencies of state and local government. Opinions of the attorney general are not binding upon the judiciary, although they are persuasive to the courts. Moreover, problems which are the subject of official opinions are not often litigated, and such opinions stand as the highest available interpretation of the current law.
The fire which destroyed the capitol in 1881 originated in the attorney general's office, and almost no early records survived.
(Sources include: Guide to Texas State Agencies, 11th ed. (2001); Texas Constitution, Article IV; and Archives survey files.)
Scope and Contents of the Records
The Texas Attorney General's Office serves as legal counsel to all boards and agencies of state government; issues legal opinions when requested by the Governor, heads of state agencies and other officials and agencies as provided by Texas statutes; sits as an ex-officio member of state committees and commissions; and defends challenges to state laws and suits against both state agencies and individual employees of the State. Records are correspondence, legal documents, reports, printed material, plat maps, specifications, notebooks, proceedings, directories, and a photograph, dating 1874-1930, bulk 1880-1914. The majority of records consists of correspondence addressed to the Attorney General requesting interpretation of laws; records also include subject and investigation files. During most administrations, inquiries and opinion requests from individual state agencies were maintained together, while inquiries from county or municipal officers were usually filed under the name of the correspondent along with requests from businesses, individuals, and others. Subjects reflect the broad panoply of issues and events confronting citizens of the state during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, e.g., taxes, bonds, trusts and monopolies, election law, prohibition and local option laws, gambling, riparian rights, railroads, and others. Correspondents include state and local officials, attorneys, businesses including railroads and express companies, and individuals.
Early letters contain notes by the Attorney General's Office detailing responses or wrappers which contain basic information about the letter, including name and position of correspondent, date of letters, subject, type of response, and references to responses in letterpress volumes.
Beginning with Attorney General James V Allred's administration in the early 1930s, the office declined to address private inquiries and opinion requests. Although the statutory prohibition against answering these nongovernmental requests existed for many years prior, some Attorneys General ignored or selectively enforced this injunction.
To prepare this inventory, the described materials were cursorily reviewed to delineate series, to confirm the accuracy of contents lists, to provide an estimate of dates covered, and to determine record types.

Monty Hall Problem - Page 3
One way of exploring this puzzle further is to do an experiment. Get a friend to set up the 3 doors - not real doors obviously, but you could use 3 pieces of cardboard on the table, one with a paper car underneath, and two with paper goats. Or just have the car, and assume the others are goats. Get the friend to set up the puzzle while you are out of the room, and then you come in and choose a door. The friend then reveals one of the other doors as not having the car behind, whereupon you decide to stick with your original choice, or to switch doors. Try the experiment 10 or 20 times, and keep a record of whether when you stick you win or lose, and when you switch whether you win or lose. The more times do you the experiment, the more the results will show 0.33333 chance of winning if you stick, and 0.66666 chance of winning if you switch.
Alternatively, a number of visitors to the Grand Illusions site have written simulators for the Monty Hall Problem. Stefan Knutsson from Sweden has created a simulator which does not need a download. We can see that it is a Swedish car. Are these also Swedish goats? Visit Stefan's simulator...
Finally if you do a search on the internet for Monty Hall, you will find a number of sites that explain it. Here is one - http://people.hofstra.edu/staff/steven_r_costenoble/MontyHall/MontyHall.html

It's not quite like the book for better or worse but Ender's Game delivers an entertaining mix of sci-fi action and strong performances from a great cast.

If this movie was created 10 years ago, this could be one of my favorites.

'Ender's Game' is smarter than the average sci-fi. This military based film is entirely focused on strategy. There is a central theme of choices faced when preparing to eradicate one's enemy that is sought through to the end. The emotional aspects of the main character could've been explored more. This area of the film felt predictable, but the warfare didn't. The in-battle strategizing mixed with awesome effects creates situations of both intrigue and spectacle. The finale is surprising in it's resolution. It's not the typical 'happy victory' one would assume. Having not read the popular novel it is based on, I cannot say how it compares. I found the experience satisfying in ways I would not have expected.

Out of Energy
This had the potential to be one epic adaption of a modern day scifi classic, but -there always seems to be a but doesn't there?- somewhere something went south with this production. Though sticking somewhat, though not exactly, to the book, it seemed to get really mired down at about mid way, so that by the time that the actual end game comes down at the near end of the film, it's more of a no brainer that what is happening is the actual event, and presented in such a way that, though meant to be a 'stunner', it just isn't, due to it's obviousness. It comes across as anti climatic really. The very end just leaves you wondering where did the story go, and why would they let it go there. It would be a spoiler to say what happens, but then really, nothing actually does. I give it 3 stars fo...

Beloved Book; Average Adaptation
This is one of those films I wasn't ever expecting to be made. A film adaptation of Ender's Game has been in the works for a long time - and considering it is still one of my favorite books of all time - I was wondering what the result would be when they eventually got around to making it. When it is all said and done, Ender's Game is a decent sci-fi film but pales in comparison to the book.
The main problem I have is that I just didn't feel a connection with the film. Asa Butterfield is an excellent choice for Ender - cool, calm, intelligent with a hint of vulnerability - and Harrison Ford makes a nice, gruff Colonel Graff - but otherwise the rest of the cast just feels wasted. You just don't get enough time to get to know any of the other characters - Hailee Steinfeld's Petra, the un...

A Hit or Miss Sci-Fi Entry
"What?!" That was the first thought I had when the end credits started rolling for Ender's Game. This is partly due to the fact that the story is incomplete, and the film ends, essentially, with a cliffhanger. Some might say it's less a cliffhanger then a hook for a potential sequel, but the story is not wrapped up, so in my eyes, the film ends with a cliffhanger. In addition to this, the ending is just plain weird. I will avoid spoilers in this review (very difficult, considering many of my problems with the film revolve around the last 10 minutes or so), but let's just say that anyone that has not read the book (I am included in this demographic) will be baffled, confused, and decidedly weird-ed out.
The premise of Ender's Game, is that in the future, gifted children are to be e...

Say hello to Fox Business Networks' D.C. Bureau Chief Bruce Becker.
What word do you routinely misspell? "Misspell." My nightmare is sending out a memo reminding people not to misspell, and I misspell "misspell." I had to look it up three times just to give you this answer.
What is the name of your cell phone ring? "Hey there Delilah" by Plain White T's. No, wait. That's my daughter's. I actually have whatever boring ring tone that the phone came with. No one calls it, anyway, so it doesn't matter.
What time did you get up this morning? 4:30am. I have a lot of nervous energy these days.
When did you last cry and why? NOYB.
How many emails do you receive a day, roughly? Too many. (Some day I'd like to see someone answer "Just the right amount" to that question.)
What's your favorite letter? All of the Greek ones, of course. (That's economics humor, which might explain why nobody calls me).
What single person played the biggest role / had the biggest influence on your journalism career? I'd have to say Roger Ailes had the biggest influence. As the force behind Fox News, he gave me some great opportunities that have propelled my career in the last eleven years. I'm very thankful.
Read the rest when you click below…(and see previous FishbowlDC interviews: Julie Mason, David Shuster, Joe Curl, Alex Pareene, Peter Beinart, Jonah Goldberg, Megyn Kendall, Ana Marie Cox, Jim Brady, Howard Mortman, Amy Argetsinger, Jose Antonio Vargas, Chuck Todd, Tom Gottlieb, Kelly Ann Collins, David von Drehle, David Lat, Mark Leibovich, Zain Verjee, David Plotz, Paul Kane, Karen Travers, Mark Halperin, Hugo Gurdon, Greg Kelly,Ken Rudin, John Dickerson, Anne Schroeder, Spencer Ackerman, Bret Baier, Bob Sellers, Greta van Susteren, Danielle Jones, Jonathan Salant, John McCalla, Pam Hess, Ryan Grim, Marc Ambinder, Marty Kady, Jack Shafer, Annie Lou Bayly, Jerry Zremski, Charlie Cook, Dave Hughes, Howard Fineman, Katie Tarbox, Mark Segraves, Chris Cillizza, Tom Sietsema, Bill Triplett, Robin Givhan, David Brody, Norah O'Donnell, Carl Cannon, Jordan Lieberman, David Folkenflik, Molly Henneberg, Ernesto Londono, Brody Mullins, Aaron Blake, Martha Raddatz, Andrew Sullivan, Christina Bellantoni, Shane Harris, Nora McAlvanah, Adam Nagourney, Erin McPike, Mike Memoli, Ju-Don Marshall Roberts, Arthur Delaney, Chris Mincher, Rachel Sklar, Laura Sullivan, Jeff Kosseff, Matthew Cooper, Scott McCrary, Dan Reilly, Jennifer Griffin, Ari Shapiro, Jonathan Kaplan, Rick Klein, Mike Allen, Olivier Knox, Erik Wemple, Nathan Burchfiel, Andrea Mitchell, Mike DeBonis, Anne Kornblut, April Ryan, Amy Morris, Keith Koffler, <strongMark Silva, Ann Compton, Mark Knoller, Betsy Fischer, Katherine O'Hearn, Pamela Brown, Beverly Kirk, Wendell Goler, Glenn Kessler, Susan Page, Michael Crowley, Claudia Milne, Kelly Dinardo)
Also, drop us a line to let us know who else you'd like FishbowlDC to interview. They must work in the Washington area and you must include their email address.
When's the last time you volunteered? Where? I am a parent volunteer for my daughter's high school field hockey team; I take stats and write up game reports. It gives me a chance to do sports reporting, which I have never tried in my professional career. It is a lot of fun and much more difficult than I expected.
Who is your favorite active journalist? Brit Hume. Special Report is the best news program on TV. There are a lot of very good people that contribute to the quality of that show, but Brit is the primary reason it is as good as it is.
What did you have for breakfast? Sausage and eggs.
What one toiletry item could you not live without? Huh?
If you could have one superpower, which one would it be? The one that allows you to filter out unwanted emails.
Red or white wine? Sure.
PG-13 or R? I'm old enough now for the "R" films now, which is kind of nice.
Lincoln, Jefferson or Washington Memorial? Where did you get these questions?
Leg or breast (chicken, of course) Leg.
Friday night or Saturday night? Saturday.
"Wedding Crashers" or "Old School" "Great Santini."
The Palm or Cafe Milano? I'll take a nice dinner at home over either of those places. My wife is a terrific cook: she has passion, creativity and flair, and it shows in her cooking. If it's my turn to cook, we'll go the "La Loma Dos" in Chevy Chase.
Yankees or Red Sox? Cubs.
Jenna or Barbara? They seem like very nice kids. I think having your dad become president at that age has got to be tough. I think they've handled it quite well.
McSteamy or McDreamy? Am I in the right interview? Why don't you ask me about McMonetary policy?
Leno or Letterman? See the answer to #3. I get up at 4:30a.
Stewart or Colbert? Stewart is much funnier. (I'm sure Colbert will be devastated to hear that).
Boxers or briefs? We'll leave that a mystery. I believe that most people really don't want to know what you've got on underneath.

'Two And A Half Men' Loses Showrunner Lee Aronsohn
"Two and a Half Men" finds itself shuffling the deck again.
The stalwart CBS comedy's turbulent two years continue, with some shuffling in the wake of showrunner Lee Aronsohn's announced departure from the job, The Hollywood Reporter claims. With Aronsohn out, writer-producers Don Reo and Jim Patterson have stepped up to fill the role alongside creator Chuck Lorre.
Arohnson apparently won't be departing entirely. He'll reportedly stick around as an executive consultant.
The core cast - Jon Cryer, Ashton Kutcher and Angus "Half" T. Jones - all have one-year deals locking them in to return this fall. So Lorre and Company have that going for them. What the show conspicuously doesn't have is an official renewal. Working out a 10th-season financial deal between Warner Bros. Television and CBS appears to be the last hurdle. Between syndication on FX and new episodes, it's been a cash cow. That being said, last season was the first following Charlie Sheen's acrimonious Spring 2011 firing from the show and considered a "re-launch" with Kutcher's new character stepping in for the killed-off Charlie Harper.
Whether Sheen's departure was a boon or a hindrance could be considered a "push." The show hit series-low ratings last season, but posted higher overall average numbers than previous seasons. Not to mention, not many sitcoms reach double-digit seasons without deteriorating.
Aronsohn's departure follows controversial gender remarks he made during an April screenwriting conference in Toronto.
"Enough, ladies. I get it. You have periods," he told THR, though he praised the recent influx of female TV-comedy creators including Whitney Cummings, Chelsea Handler and Tina Fey. "But we're approaching peak vagina on television, the point of labia saturation." Sources tell THR that the "Men" move is unrelated to Aronsohn's remarks.

By: Richard Shively Jr.
Social Security District Manager, Scottsbluff
Question: How long does a person need to work to become eligible for retirement benefits?
Answer: Social Security benefits are based on credits. Anyone born in 1929 or later needs 40 Social Security credits to be eligible for retirement benefits. You can earn up to four credits per year, so you will need to work at least 10 years to become eligible for retirement benefits.
Each year the amount of earnings needed for a credit rises as average earnings go up. In 2008, you receive one credit for each $1,050 of earnings, up to the maximum of four credits per year. During your working years, earnings covered by Social Security are posted to your record. You earn credits based on those earnings. When you have your credits and you reach retirement age, you can file for retirement benefits online at www.socialsecurity.gov.
Question: How does Social Security know how much a person has earned?
Answer: Each year, your employer reports your previous year's earnings to Social Security on Form W-2. Self-employed people report their earnings to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on their tax return. IRS transmits that information to Social Security. Social Security then posts the earnings information to your record. To learn more about Social Security, visit www.socialsecurity.gov.
Question: I recently filed for retirement benefits online. I have a few questions about my application. Who should I call?
Answer: We're happy to answer your questions. Just call us toll free at 1-(800) 772-1213 (TTY number, (800) 325-0778), between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on business days and a representative can help you. If your questions are specific to your application, we'll need your name and Social Security number. If they are general questions, you may want to save yourself the phone call at take a look at our website at www.socialsecurity.gov where you'll find a wealth of information about Social Security.
Question: When is the best time to retire?
Answer: It depends on a number of factors, and the decision is up to you. A new fact sheet When To Start Receiving Retirement Benefits explains the things you should consider. Find that publication and use our online Retirement Estimator to chart your own course by going to www.socialsecurity.gov. And when you're ready to apply for retirement benefits, save yourself a trip and do it online at the same web address.
Question: I used to get Social Security disability benefits. I tried going back to work, but it didn't work out. Can you start my benefits again, or do I need to file a new application?
Answer: If your benefits have ended because of work, you can request that we start your benefits again without having to file a new application in most situations. There are some important conditions:
You have to be unable to work because of your medical condition;
The medical condition must be the same as or related to the condition you had when we first decided that you should receive disability benefits; and
You have to file your request to start your benefits again within 60 months of the date you were last entitled to benefits.
To learn more, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/disability.
Question: Can I apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) online?
Answer: Not at this time. But if you're filing for SSI benefits due to a disability, we do have a way for you to get started – with the Adult Disability Report at www.socialsecurity.gov/adultdisabilityreport. Completing this report beforehand will save you time when you do apply for SSI. We recommend you call us toll free at (800) 772-1213 (TTY (800) 325-0778) to make an appointment to complete your application for SSI benefits either by phone or at your local Social Security office.
Question: I just got a notice from Social Security that said my Supplemental Security Income (SSI) case is being reviewed. What does this mean?
Answer: Social Security routinely reviews Supplemental Security Income cases to make sure the individual is receiving the correct amount and that they still remain eligible for benefits. To learn more about Social Security, visit www.socialsecurity.gov or call us toll free at (800) 772-1213 (TTY (800) 325-0778).
Question: When can I sign up for my Medicare drug coverage?
Answer: If you are newly entitled to Medicare, you may sign up for prescription drug coverage during your seven-month initial enrollment period for Medicare. If you do not join during this period, your next chance to join will be during the open enrollment period between November 15 and December 31 each year. There also will be special enrollments periods if:
You lose your employer-based coverage;
You move from your prescription drug provider's service area; or
When a provider goes out of business or is decertified by Medicare.
For assistance in selecting a plan and enrolling, visit the Medicare Web site at www.medicare.gov. To learn more about Social Security, visit www.socialsecurity.gov.
Question: I'll be visiting my grandmother for Grandparents Day this year. Can I help my grandmother apply for the extra help with prescription drug costs?
Answer: You can help your grandmother by completing the application on her behalf. Relatives, friends, attorneys, advocates, social workers and employees of government agencies are authorized to act on someone's behalf if they are chosen by that person to do so. You have several options when it comes to applying for the extra help. You can:
