Health care reform: Keeping healthy individuals in the marketComments Email Print
The Accountable Care Act imposes an "individual mandate" that requires nearly all Americans to purchase a health insurance policy that is designed to cover a package of essential health benefits. This mandate is believed to offset what are expected to be undesirable side effects of two other elements of the Act -- "guaranteed issue" and "community rating." We'll call those two elements "GI" and "CR." Guaranteed issue essentially guarantees that non-group applicants cannot be denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions, and community rating means that insurance premiums must be the same for all individuals of a given age, regardless of their health status.
So, don't GI and CR sound like good ideas? Well, there have been problems. In the 1990s, seven states implemented GI and CR, and we learned the following:
This phenomenon is referred to as the anti-selection spiral. The risks in a collapsing insurance market can, it is believed, be managed to some extent through the use of insurance mandates, premium subsidies or other mechanisms designed to prevent healthy risks from leaving the insurance pool in significant numbers.
So, is this mandate scheme really going to work? We don't know right now if the penalties for violating the mandate will be strong enough to minimize adverse selection. Remember, the idea here is to provide either a carrot, or a stick, designed to prevent healthy individuals from leaving the market or conversely, encouragement to remain in the market. Certainly for many women, becoming pregnant and still being able to secure insurance coverage and avoiding the pre-existing medical condition exclusion will be a blessing. Will all younger, healthier individuals avoid purchasing insurance until they become ill? Many undoubtedly will; however, others will realize that even under this new scheme of coverage, having insurance is better than not having insurance. If you are involved in a serious automobile accident, as an example, while you are unconscious in the local emergency department, you will not be enrolling at that time. You will be an uninsured patient and be billed accordingly.
There are two other important elements to the insurance reforms in the act. One, also designed to maintain or increase coverage for most Americans, is known as the "employer mandate," requiring employers to offer both essential and affordable health care benefits to all full-time employees and their dependents. Failure to do so may result in penalties against the employer. Second, because of the act's price controls (think CR), premiums for younger individuals could rise significantly. The proposed medicine here is known as "premium assistance." Who qualifies for that? And how can employers deal with these carrots? Or sticks? More on those issues in my next posting.

In 2013, the cost of an average acre of Iowa farm real estate jumped by 20 percent in value to $8,400.
It's a story that is seen across America's fertile heartland with farmland worth about 13 percent more than in 2012.
But is farmland caught in a price bubble that soon could burst?
John Taylor, national farm and ranch executive for U.S. Trust, a private bank that is part of Bank of America Corp, believes it's too early to justify fears of a bubble, according to a report by MarketWatch by The Wall Street Journal.
"In general, if you ask, is farmland in a bubble, I'll say, no," he said. "But if you ask, are some people paying bubble prices, I'll say, yes."
Farmland has be climbing for the last decade thanks to a surge in farm income and commodity prices, but as these prices settle back down and interest levels start to move higher, some see the next few years as an important test.
"This is the moment of truth, I think," said Brent Gloy, agricultural economics professor at Purdue University.
He added that if prices continue to surge in the face of intensifying headwinds, it would then be a troubling sign that a bubble was building in farmland. Read more here.
Earlier this summer, Esther George, President of the Kansas City Federal Reserve, argued against the threat of a farmland bubble. Instead, she is confidence in the lessons both farmers and bankers learned – and remember – from being "over-leveraged" in the 1970s.
"The run-up in the land values is likely to still create issues for those that are exposed in some way," she said. "Will we see it as broadly as we did in the '70s? Not the same scenario. But we will still see some fallout if there is a strong correction."
See, "Kansas City Fed president sees no threat yet of a farmland bubble."

The Reserve Bank still thinks the Australian dollar is higher than it should be. Overall, however, it seems very confident that its decision to keep the cash rate on hold at 2.5 per cent for the 10th consecutive meeting is the right one.
The picture it paints of an economy slowly but methodically shifting from over-reliance on the resources boom to a more balanced growth model is essentially unchanged from a month ago, and so is the underlying positive message for the markets: central banks including our Reserve Bank are underwriting market prices with easy monetary policy, and there's no sign yet that they are about to put the brakes on.
The Australian dollar was trading at US86.7¢ at the end of January. On June 2, ahead of RBA's June 3 rates meeting, it was changing hands at US92.6¢.
It jumped from US94.2¢ to US94.5¢ on Tuesday afternoon after the RBA emerged from its July meeting and declared that the cash rate was still on hold at 2.5 per cent.
At its June meeting, the Reserve noted the strength of the $A. After falling from $US1-plus last year, the currency was assisting with the rebalancing of the economy, but by less than it was before its mini-rally this year, the central bank said last month, adding that the exchange rate remained high by historical standards, particularly given further declines in commodity prices.
In its latest statement it says much the same thing. But there is a hint of impatience in its comment that the $A is high given commodity price weakness "and hence is offering less assistance than it might in achieving balanced growth in the economy".
Still, overall, the RBA's view is sanguine.
Financial conditions overall remain very accommodative, it says, and long-term interest rates and risk spreads remain low. Emerging market economies are once again getting investor attention, and marklet volatility is unusually low.
Its conclusion, as it was last month, is that investors are attaching "a very low probability to any rise in global interest rates over the period ahead".
This market and global markets are unlikely to crack until that stops being the case.

TV sports presenter Dave Clark is backing doctors in the fight against Parkinson's disease.
Ilkley-born Dave, anchorman for boxing and darts with Sky Sports, was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2011. Now he has praised the pro-active work of NHS Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) in helping people with the disease.
The CCG has worked closely with Airedale NHS Foundation Trust and as a result, a new Parkinson's disease nurse specialist is working at Airedale Hospital, funded for two years by Parkinson's UK. The hospital has also appointed a new consultant who will specialise in Parkinson's disease.
"To hear about the fantastic work that is going on in and around my old home town is heart-warming and encouraging," he said.
"When I was first diagnosed I was asked how old my children were and if I had a big mortgage. Then I was given a leaflet and told to get on with it. I felt completely alone and unsupported. It was very frightening – just as it had been for my dad years before, who also had Parkinson's."
Dave's father Alan suffered from the disease for seven years. Parkinson's made him so depressed he committed suicide 30 years ago when Dave was 17.
"For patients to have a specialist Parkinson's nurse to talk to about their illness is invaluable," added Dave. "I think it's vital we get the message out there that you don't have to go through Parkinson's alone. This is a great step for the CCG and Airedale Hospital to have taken and I am sure Parkinson's patients living in Airedale, Wharfedale and Craven will really benefit."
On Tuesday, as part of Parkinson's Awareness Week which runs until Sunday, Dave spoke at a 10 Downing Street reception, at the invitation of Prime Minister's wife Samantha Cameron, about the importance of research into Parkinson's in the hope that one day a cure will be found.
Dr Graeme Summers, of Ilkley Moor Medical Practice, and also an executive GP member of the CCG, added: "One of our strategic priorities is to look at redesigning and improving services in neurology. Our patients here have access to all the drugs needed to treat Parkinson's but there is still no drug available that will delay or cure the disease.
"At the moment we can only treat the symptoms. It is clear more research is needed.
"However, it is important to remember that many people diagnosed with Parkinson's are able to live with the disease for many years and are still able to lead full and productive lives."
The theme of Parkinson's Awareness Week is Putting People with Parkinson's Back in Control, which aims to change the way the condition is viewed by the public and health professionals.
Margaret wants to help people cope with Parkinsons
The Parkinson's nurse specialist at Airedale Hospital is backing a national campaign aimed at helping people better understand the disease.
Margaret Ormerod is staging an information display at the hospital to tie in with an awareness week, which runs until Sunday, organised by Parkinson's UK.
Her role, funded for two years by the charity, is designed to help people cope with the condition and enjoy a better quality of life. She will work closely with the Skipton and Keighley Parkinson's Disease groups, consultant geriatricians and neurologists.
"Parkinson's is a big problem – affecting 400 patients in the area, who are usually seen in their own homes and at clinics," she said. "I am keen to be a patients' advocate, supporting them in dealing with their diagnosis and development of the disease and helping their families, who may feel isolated.
"I will also help patients to fine tune their medication, and as part of a multi-disciplinary team I can signpost them to others who can assist.
"Also I hope I can support other nursing staff on wards treating patients with Parkinson's disease – as patients often have very complex needs – assess how they are functioning in their own environment and reduce their stay in hospital."
Traits of Parkinson's – caused by a loss of nerve cells in the brain – can include tremors or stiffness, slow movements, depression, possibly dementia and tiredness.

A part of me thinks the Rangers PR staff owes a debt of gratitude to the New York Observer's John Koblin for "this bleak depiction of life on the Knicks beat":http://www.observer.com/2007/life-knicks-hell.
I say this because, while they're all under one largely dysfunctional Cablevision umbrella, the story underscores how much more pleasant it is covering the Rangers. To be clear, we've all had our dust-ups big and small with the Rangers PR staff, and I'm not delusional enough to think their objectives and the media's objectives are one and the same.
But if you read this story — and I suggest you do — you'll know there is a difference between a productive, if even occasionally contentious, relationship between a team and its media; and complete insanity, which is basicaly how you'd describe what's happening down the hall with the Knicks.
Why the difference? A couple of theories: One, the Rangers are good (or relatively good) and the Knicks stink. That always helps.
Two, hockey is hockey and basketball is basketball. The Rangers and the NHL still needs the media — and yes, even the print media, or whatever it is I am these days — to promote the sport and help repair the damage done by the lockout. The NBA, meanwhile, enjoys better ratings on TV so it doesn't rely as much on the writers. And in the case of the Knicks, it seems they just want their writers to go away.
Granted, there are some common practices between the two. The Observer story talks about Knicks PR staffers monitoring interviews, and that happens occasionally with the Rangers. But more often than not, at least with players, they leave us alone to talk to whomever, about whatever. Yes, there is an overall veil of secrecy at the Garden that can be difficult to penetrate, especially for someone like me in just his second season covering the team. But unlike some of the Knicks writers, I at least don't feel like the powers-that-be are conspiring against me.
So there you have it. By comparison, things could be a lot worse. Now if only they'll go back to the playoff custom of giving us free bagels at the rink, I'd really be content.

A SCHOOL'S celebration assembly took an 'unexpected' twist when a firefighter proposed to his girlfriend on stage.
Paul Brown enlisted help from six of his colleagues and members of his new fiancée's class to ask the most important question of his life.
Fire engine sirens were sounded outside the building before the stage curtains were pulled back to revealed a banner held by members of Kelly Wilkinson's year four class at Avondale Primary School, Darwen.
Kelly, 36, who has been a special support assistant at the school for six years, said that she was 'overwhelmed' and that it came as a 'complete shock'.
The couple, who live together in Earnsdale Road, have been together for 12 years and have two children.
Paul, who has been a firefighter for 20 years, had previously planned to pop the question nine years ago at the summit of Aiguille du Midi in Italy.
However, his plans, which included a champagne bottle and glasses stuffed into his rucksack, had to be put on hold after the cable car was closed for maintenance work.
The couple are now hoping to set a date soon.
Kelly, who is expecting another child in October, said: "I was overwhelmed with it all.
"It was a big shock but of course I said yes. I heard the sirens outside and I wondered what was going on and then the curtains on the stage were pulled back and there were members of my class holding the banner saying 'will you marry me'.
"Then Paul walked in and got down on one knee.
"It was so exciting but he had to get back to work so we didn't have much time to talk that evening."
Paul, 47, said: "I wanted to do something that was memorable. It had been in the planning for some years and I'm glad it all went to plan.
"I was still on duty so I had my fingers crossed that there were no emergencies, otherwise it would have gone pear-shaped. Only a handful of people knew what was going to happen at the school so it was a big surprise for her."

Did you know?
Paul Kruger, president of the South African Republic, reputedly banished 'difficult' Boer farmers to the Waterberg.
The R518 is a scenic road route that takes you from the town of Mokopane to Marken through the heart of the Waterberg Mountains. One of the highlights of the road is passing through the range known as the Waterberg Red Beds because of their distinctive rusty colour. This colour is a result of iron particles trapped in the sandstone that began rusting some 1900 million years ago.
From the town of Mokopane, a small agricultural centre, the R518 heads towards the western part of the Waterberg and climbs from the low bushveld to the dramatic mountains heights. The views are amazing and the Waterberg Red Beds are a photographer's delight.
The R518 continues through the region to the small town of Marken, taking you through gorgeous bushveld scenery. This is the wild heart of the Waterberg, part of the Waterberg Biosphere Reserve, a 400 000 ha protected wilderness. The San people, who left their legacy behind in the form of spectacular rock art, first inhabited the area.
The R518 is part of the Waterberg Meander, a scenic route through the region that takes you to a series of interesting historic sites, community projects and tourist attractions.
The Waterberg region has become one of Limpopo's most popular eco-tourism attractions, offering rugged mountains, rolling bush and plenty of wildlife, with the added bonus of being malaria free. The Waterberg offers a variety of wildlife and safari experiences, varying from Big Five reserves and upmarket game lodges to remote wilderness hideaways and self-catering bush camps.

Cue the latest innovation: dual-video porn, which pits two YouTube-style videos head to head, giving each your partial, divided attention.
We're not kidding: Pornhorneo (NSFW) takes the "adult YouTube" concept pioneered by YouPorn and Pornotube, and puts two videos on the screen, rather than one. This has been done for loftier purposes already - like comparing political policies on HeadtoHead08 - but these days the adult industry isn't as cutting edge as it used to be, and there are even reports that social networking is now a more popular use of the web. Pornhorneo lets you vote for your favorite, or course, and embed clips elsewhere. The content is user generated and submitted via an upload form, the unnamed founders told us in an email.

The drought won't be going anywhere any time soon, and with the latest Drought Monitor showing no improvement in drought conditions, the nation has quickly entered its 32ndconsecutive week with at least half of the Lower 48 in moderate to exceptional drought.
This week, 58 percent of the continental United States is in moderate or worse drought.
The same group of states continues to report the highest percentages of drought: Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Oklahoma and Texas. Georgia also is reporting an overwhelming percentage of exceptional drought.
For Nebraska in particular, January has offered no relief. For the month of January, the majority of the Cornhusker State saw less than one-quarter of an inch of rain. Seventy-seven percent of the state is in still exceptional drought, which continues to remain virtually unchanged since the end of August.
Drought has also expanded to other reaches of the country, including Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico with pockets in Utah, Nevada and Arizona. To the east, drought has seeped into Iowa and Minnesota. See how your state is doing here.
With so little moisture offering relief for most states, some experts are urging producers in select Corn Belt states to prepare for the drought to overstay its welcome even more.
Cathann Kress, Iowa State University's vice president for Extension & Outreach, told KMALand that Iowa in particular won't be able to emerge from the drought for three more years if the dry conditions continue as expected.
Read, "ISU Specialist – 'Prepare for drought'"
Brian Fuchs, climatologist with the National Drought Mitigation Center, School of Natural Resources, University of Nebraska, is more hopeful than Kress.
"With the weather, I think everyone is smart enough to know that nothing is ever set in stone, as we saw a 100-year flood on the Missouri Basin followed by a historical drought. We have seen both ends of the spectrum," Fuchs said.

If you grew up on the South Oxhey estate in the post-World War Two years, you may be interested in a staged reading of a new play about the estate at the Watford Palace Theatre early next month.
Nowhere Near London is a dramatised adaptation by former resident John Schad of his documentary novel The Late Walter Benjamin, set in the 1940s and which fuses realism and surrealism to explore both the earliest days of the South Oxhey council estate and the last, tragic days of the German-Jewish writer Walter Benjamin.
"Benjamin is a figure who's always fascinated me," explains John, 53, who teaches English literature at the University of Lancaster. "He thinks both religiously and politically because he was both a Jew and a Marxist, he puts the two together and that intrigues me. It took me back to the estate, where my dad was a minister – that's my memory of politics and religion going together, my dad doing his stuff on the estate."
John and his family moved to South Oxhey from Swindon in 1965, so his father could take up the position of minister at St Martin's Presbyterian Church, which is now St Martin's United Reformed Church, on the estate.
John left in 1982 to go to university, and his parents left when his father took early retirement. His father has since died, and his mother now lives in Bristol.
"I know two families still on the estate," says John. He went back when he was researching his novel, which came out in 2012, to interview a number of residents, whose voices made it into the novel, as interweaved excerpts, and now into the play.
The novel also featured extracts about the estate from the Watford Observer.
John had long considered that the book could be adapted into a play, having already transferred one of his earlier books, Someone Called Derrida, to the stage, and began the process about a year ago with fellow former resident Mike Crowley as director.
"Weirdly we didn't know each other, although we were in the same school year," says John. "He went to Warren Dell Primary School and I went to Greenfields Primary School and we just somehow never met."
They happened to meet when John moved to Lancaster to teach at the university and Mike was writer in residence at Lancaster Farms Prison for young offenders. When they realised they'd both grown up in South Oxhey, the memories flowed.
"We were both obsessed with football," John laughs, "and we talked a lot about the woods, we each read them differently – for him they were intriguing and exciting and a great place to hide, but I always thought they were a bit weird, I couldn't understand what this green stuff was for! They were very happy memories.
"The play couldn't have been directed by anyone else," he continues. "Mike has got South Oxhey even more in his blood because his family were genuine Londoners who were moved there after the war, whereas I'm a bit of a fake, coming in for my dad to work on the estate. Even though I lived there for 17 years!"
If the reading at the Palace goes well, John and Mike would love to turn it into a full theatre production.
"That would be great," says John. "We had thought, for this reading, about maybe staging it on the estate itself but that's not how it panned out this time. But who knows? Maybe one day in the future we'll be able to put on a full theatre production there."
- Nowhere Near London is at the Watford Palace Theatre Drama Studio, Clarendon Road, Watford, on Monday, July 7 at 7.30pm. Details: 01923 225671, watfordpalacetheatre.co.uk

Physician, healer, author speaks at The Woods
February 23rd, 2011 | SMWC
Dr. Lori Alvord
Bridging two worlds of medicine, traditional Navajo healing and conventional Western medicine, to treat the whole patient, is the focus of the Lori Arviso Alvord, M.D. presentation at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) on March 2, 2011 at 7 p.m. in the Cecilian Auditorium. The lecture is a part of the College's Four-Star Series, which is designed to bring talented performers and presenters to campus to enrich the community and enhance theCollege's curriculum. This unique presentation is free and open to the public.
Dr. Alvord left her reservation in New Mexico to attend Stanford University Medical School, becoming the first Navajo woman surgeon. Rising above the odds presented by her own culture and the male-dominated world of surgeons, she returned to the reservation to find a new challenge.
When Alvord returned to the reservation to work in a Navajo community she discovered, she says, that "although I was a good surgeon, I was not always a good healer."
She explains, "I went back to the healers of my tribe to learn what a surgical residency could not teach me. From them I have heard a resounding message: Everything in life is connected. Learn to understand the bonds between humans, spirit, and nature. Realize that our illness and our healing alike come from maintaining strong and healthy relationships in every aspect of our lives."
Surgery can remedy many illnesses and conditions, but as Alvord worked with her Navajo patients she learned that modern scientific medicine by itself could not reestablish the missing harmony in their health. Navajo healers use song, symbols and ceremony with their patients, and involve family and neighbors in the process. The psychological and spiritual comfort thus provided can prepare patients for surgery, childbirth, or chemotherapy, for example, and speed their recovery afterwards.
Alvord tries to heal, not just fix, her patients by working with families, other practitioners, and constant cultural awareness. She looks for the places in the patient's life, relationships and environment where things are out of balance. Alvord brings these principles to the world of medicine in her book, The Scalpel and the Silver Bear whose ideas have changed medical practices.
Dr. Alvord is currently the associate dean of student affairs at College of Medicine at Central Michigan University. Prior to joining Central Michigan, she served as an assistant professor of surgery and psychiatry at Dartmouth Medical School and as an adjunct assistant professor of comparative literature at Dartmouth College. She also was an associate faculty member for the Center for American Indian Health at JohnsHopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. From 1997 to 2009, Alvord was the associate dean of student and multicultural affairs for Dartmouth Medical School.

DETROIT - Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is running behind on his restitution payment to the city, the Local 4 Defenders have learned.
Kilpatrick pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and resigned from office in 2008 after he lied at a civil trial to cover up an extramarital affair with his chief of staff, which was exposed through a series of graphic text messages. That lawsuit cost Detroit $8.4 million.
Kilpatrick was imprisoned in May 2010 for failing to disclose assets and surrender sufficient funds that could have reduced his $1 million restitution to Detroit. He was released this August and has moved to Texas with his wife and three sons. Following his release, he agreed to pay $150 a month towards the remainder of his restitution
Kilpatrick was released from prison in August and agreed to pay $150 a month toward his restitution debt to the city -- which still stands at more than $800,000. According to records, hiis first payment was due Sept. 6 and received 23 days late. His October payment is also one week overdue.
Kilpatrick, his father and others still face a September 2012 trial on federal corruption charges.

Losing TimeMath brain teasers require computations to solve.
I was recently given a new watch for my birthday. However, as usual with my presents, it was quite useless as it loses 6 minutes every hour. I set it using my friend's accurate watch at midnight and it now shows 10:39am. I know that the watch stopped 21 minutes ago so what is the correct time now?
Answer12:11pm; since the clock is losing 6 minutes every hour, for every real hour which has passed, the clock will only show 54 minutes. Since the clock shows 10:39am, we know that 639 clock minutes have passed. This therefore equals 710 real minutes and hence 11 hrs 50 mins. The clock stopped 21 minutes ago, therefore the time must now be 12:11pm.

Conference in Your Cubicle
Something very exciting is happening this week in Chicago! The National Sexual Assault Conference (NSAC) brings together professionals across disciplines for an intentional time of training, networking and development. In person gatherings like NSAC are wonderfully connecting and renewing, but it's also a reality that these opportunities are limited and especially rare in lean economic times. For those of us who aren't able to join the group in Chicago for NSAC 2012, this doesn't mean we can't also celebrate the value of learning and connecting intentionally.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/10/2013 (1405 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Bad news was hiding behind every corner for the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night, but they somehow managed to diminish the damage.
First, and by far most importantly, the Jets got news from the hospital that rookie defenceman Jacob Trouba was moving and alert after taking a scary spill into the end boards midway through the second period.
Little information was available on Trouba at press time, but the early information was at least encouraging.
Next up was overcoming a two-goal deficit late in the third period to force overtime and then steal a pair of points in the shootout.
The Jets used luck on their first two goals to stay in the game, but give them credit -- they stayed focused and kept plugging.
Watching Trouba carted off the ice strapped to a backboard and offering a small wave as he made his exit could have squashed the Jets, but they hung tough.
Trouba wears No. 8, and here's wishing him a quick and full recovery. Here are eight thoughts on last night's game.
1. Compete or take a seat
The knock against one-time 30-goal scorer Devin Setoguchi was his work ethic. When he's working hard, he's effective and can capitalize on his speed and shot. When he eases up on the gas, he's ineffective and disappears. Jets coach Claude Noel gave him a seat in the press box Friday night. We'll see if the message gets through.
2. Too thin
The Jets are too thin at centre ice to send rookie Mark Scheifele to St. John's, but that's probably where he should be at this point.
It's evident Scheifele has the hockey sense and skill to play and contribute at the NHL level, but he's not physically mature enough to take advantage of his skills. Scheifele doesn't just get knocked off the puck, he gets blown up.
3. Steaming Steen
Winnipeg native and St. Louis Blues winger Alex Steen now has seven goals and 11 points on the season and has developed into a very strong player. Steen is heavy on the puck and can unload a cannon when given a shooting opportunity. At this pace, he's a lock to play for Sweden at the Olympics.
4. Buff like a bullet
Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien has gone from a question mark to a favourite where the U.S. Olympic squad is concerned. Byfuglien committed himself to a fitness regime this off-season and has been very strong from the opening faceoff. Checking with some in the know around USA Hockey, they say Byfuglien has played his way into a roster spot.
5. Sixth makes no sense
The Jets have struggled to find an answer with their sixth defenceman this season, as both Paul Postma and Grant Clitsome have proven ineffective. The organization has Zach Redmond in St. John's, but Clitsome and Postma are on one-way contracts. The Jets feel if they put Postma on waivers for reassignment to St. John's, they would lose him. Same with Clitsome. Maybe, but it's becoming clear they need a different answer.
6. Perfect pair
Steve Yzerman will be able to make one of Mike Babock's decisions this February very easy. Jay Boumeester and Alex Pietrangelo go together like peanut butter and jelly. Smooth, efficient and poised, the duo could just slip into Team Canada jerseys and not miss a beat.
Both can skate and move the puck effectively. No reason to mess with a very good thing.
7. Silly trade talk
So the Buffalo Sabres are willing to talk trade with Ryan Miller. If you were Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff, would you kick the tires? Discuss among yourselves.
8. Killing for Kane
Evander Kane has been Winnipeg's best player most nights this season, but the last two games he's taken five minor penalties and griped after each one. Noel had enough of the act in the second period last night and gave Kane a seat on the end of the bench for about 10 minutes.
Kane does a lot right, but putting his team in penalty-killing situations so frequently isn't a plus. He needs to clean it up and shut down the post-call chirping.

Hot hitting backs wobbly pitching vs. Dodgers
Tulowitzki solid in return, joining CarGo, Cuddyer with two RBIs
LOS ANGELES -- As long as hitters like Carlos Gonzalez, Troy Tulowitzki and Michael Cuddyer populate the Rockies' lineup, the team has a batting order strong enough to win when the pitching is iffy.
Two-run doubles from Tulowitzki and Gonzalez allowed the National League West-leading Rockies to overcome a short, shaky start from Juan Nicasio and win, 7-3, in the deciding game of three at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday night in front of 32,848.
"That's the beauty of having an offense like we have," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "We can outslug some things. You can't do that all the time, but we have the capability."
The victory brought the Rockies to 8-8 on the road and a respectable 3-4 on a National League West road stretch during which all of the games were winnable. Even with the lack of clutch hits that marred the 1-3 series at Arizona and the starting pitching warts that surfaced at times in Los Angeles, the Rockies are playing with confidence.
It's a pattern this year. After being swept in San Francisco, the Rockies swept the Padres. During the Rockies' last homestand, the Braves swept a doubleheader on a cold, miserable day, but the Rockies won the next day in 12 innings to complete a 6-3 homestand.
"We can turn the page," said Cuddyer, who joined Tulowitzki and Gonzalez with a two-RBI night. "You have to be able to turn the page, because you're going to have bad games. You can't let bad games linger. You understand that. You respect that loss, then you move on."
Ahead is a six-game Interleague homestand -- three against the Rays starting Friday night, and three against the Yankees beginning Tuesday.
Tulowitzki, in his return Wednesday from missing two games with a slight left rotator cuff strain, doubled for two runs in the three-run first inning and finished 2-for-4 with a walk.
Gonzalez, who arrived in Los Angeles in a 4-for-35 slump but broke out of it by going 6-for-11 with a home run, three doubles (two Wednesday) and five walks (two Wednesday), doubled in two runs to break a fourth-inning tie and put the Rockies up to stay.
"The past couple of series I had so many chances to change the game, and it didn't happen, but I always try to keep myself positive," Gonzalez said. "All I've got to do is control my emotions and believe in myself."
The key doubles were off Dodgers starter Josh Beckett (0-4), who yielded five runs (four earned) on five hits with six strikeouts and three walks in four innings -- at a plodding pace.
"When you leave your guys standing around for 30 or 40 minutes in the first inning, I've just got to make better pitches," Beckett said.
Cuddyer drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the first inning and delivered an RBI double at the end of a 10-pitch at-bat against Kenley Jansen in the seventh. Also, Josh Rutledge went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI, and Eric Young Jr. reached on three of his six plate appearances, on an error, a walk and a double.
Nicasio entered 3-0 but had not exceeded five innings in any of his previous four starts and was benefiting from 8.53 runs of support. Tuesday, it took him 92 pitches to complete four innings and give up three runs on five hits, including Adrian Gonzalez's two-run homer in the first.
Nicasio let the Dodgers tie the game at 3 in the third with a wild pitch that went between the legs of catcher Wilin Rosario with the bases loaded.
The third would have been more damaging had center fielder Dexter Fowler not leaped to reach above the wall and steal what would have been Gonzalez's second homer, this with two on base.
"Anything that comes off his bat has a chance to go out," Fowler said. "The best thing to do is run back and try to get under it, and I had enough room to jump and catch it."
With No. 1 pitcher Jhoulys Chacin coming off the disabled list Sunday and Tyler Chatwood having pitched well in two starts since being called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs, the Rockies are faced with a question. Should they return Chatwood to Triple-A or give Nicasio, a hard thrower whose secondary pitches have not developed, a Colorado Springs tuneup?
Weiss did not sound convinced a demotion was the answer.
"I'm not sure about that," Weiss said. "It's not that he's throwing the ball poorly. His stuff is still very good. It's just a matter of being more efficient and not extending at-bats."
Lefty reliever Josh Outman (1-0) replaced Nicasio, struck out one and gave up one hit in two quiet relief innings. Matt Belisle, Rex Brothers and Rafael Betancourt finished five scoreless bullpen innings. Relievers gave up just three unearned runs in 24 2/3 during the road stretch. Brothers has 10 straight scoreless outings.
"In that situation the priority is to get it to the back end of the bullpen -- Belisle, Betancourt and Brothers," Outman said. "Four runs is still a close ballgame, especially with the offense that L.A. has."

Dive Against Debris in Mauritius
Last April, a group of divers from Nottingham Trent University teamed up with a local dive centre and NGO in Blue Bay Mauritius to organize a series of Dive Against Debris events and reef surveys.
The diving team led by Dr Nicholas Ray (Senior Lecturer in Environmental Ecology and PADI MSDT), with the help of Coral Diving Centre staff, surveyed the lagoon and outer reef surrounding the south east corner of Mauritius.
Blue Bay Marine Park was declared a National Park in October 1997 and subsequently declared a "Marine Protected Area" and designated as a "Marine Park" in June 2000. The park occupies a marine zone of 352 hectares and hosts a large diversity of corals associated with rich and varied fauna and flora (mangroves, algae, sea weeds, fish and other marine organisms). September 2008 saw Blue Bay Marine Park officially classified as a Ramsar site in Mauritius. Consultation with the Government and Nottingham Trent University, Eco-Sud has defined the actions which must be initiated as a matter of priority on the site to protect the marine ecosystem and traditional fishing practices.
The dives and snorkelling transects formed part of the research carried out by Nicholas Ray and Graham Shelbourne (Nottingham Trent University) in collaboration with the Mauritian NGO Eco-Sud under 'theLagon Bleu project'. The project aims to quantify abundance and diversity of fish and coral species but also to protect the marine environment from biodiversity degradation in coastal marine ecosystems and coral reefs (linked mainly to human activities e.g. overfishing and pollution inputs).
Over two weeks, the team collected several plastic bottles, a discarded lobster pot engulfing the coral, fishing nets and tackle, sunglasses, bin liners and clothes from various dive sites in and around the lagoon and outer reef.
Mr Graham Shelbourne (Senior Lecturer in Animal Studies and trainee PADI Divemaster) initially set up collaboration links with Eco-Sud during an expedition with students to Mauritius five years ago and now is an established and renowned visiting academic in the area.
Taking a back seat from the marine research for the second week, Graham led a team of 8 student volunteers doing several Dive Against Debris surveys and beach clean-ups along the beaches of Blue Bay, and offshore islands of Ile aux Aigrettes, Ile De La Passe and Ile aux Fouquets.
The bags of debris collected during the transects were taken back to base where identification and recording of the different types of plastics were completed. The final Saturday morning of the trip, Eco-Sud organised a clean-up in the Marine Protected Area of Blue Bay. This was publicised locally and all volunteers were invited and welcome to join in and help with the underwater and beach clean-up. Once again Nottingham Trent University staff and students took the lead and headed out into the Bay in the Lagon Bleu boat.
In just three hours a total of 10 bags filled to the brim with mainly plastic debris and various lengths of wood and metal were recovered from the bottom of the Bay generating a great deal of interest from the locals.
"It is hoped that the continued efforts of Eco-Sud under the Lagon Bleu project name and the presence of more student volunteers to help with the marine research will highlight the need for further Dives Against Debris and bring the local community together to continue to protect and preserve their local marine environment" said Dr Nicholas Ray.

Four AthletesLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Alan, Brian, Charlie and Dave took part in a running competition. There were no ties.
Alan said: "I'm second, and Brian is third."
Brian said: "I'm second, and Charlie is last."
Charlie said: "I'm third, and Dave is second."
Dave said: "I'm third, and Alan is first."
However, each person made one true statement true and one false statement. Can you determine which place Charlie ran?
HintLook carefully.
AnswerAlan, Brain and Charlie each made a statement about who ran second. However, only one person could run second, therefore, at least two of these three statements must be false.
Hence, their other three statements must have at least two true ones: "Brian is third", "Charlie is last", and "Charlie is third". Obviously, "Charlie is third" must be false, and Charlie must be last.

SWINDON midfielder Yaser Kasim says that the players have not given up hope on crashing the League One play-offs.
County Ground boss Mark Cooper suggested following Saturday's 2-1 defeat to MK Dons, that the end of season lottery is probably put of Town's reach.
However, the 22-year-old, while not focusing solely finishing sixth or above, believes that there is still a chance - starting with shocking League One leaders Wolves tonight.
"I think from outside, people think it is kind of gone and lets build for next season," he said.
"But there are still 11 games left, it is about playing games and winning and you never know what can happen.
"They thought that two weeks ago as well and results changed.
"I don't really necessarily think now 'oh can we get into play-offs?' We should be thinking can we win the next game."
With Town's form dipping dramatically since the turn of 2014, picking up only 13 points from a possible 36, a visit from the league leaders is going to test Kasim and company to limit.
Kenny Jackett's men have just broken a club record after winning eight games on the bounce and confidence is sky high, while Town's could be a little fragile.
"I can't speak for other players, I think with the lads that we have, they have good banter, around the dressing room it is OK," Kasim said when asked if confidence is low.
"It has been a learning experience for a lot of people. I've never come in and seen people down and crying.
"It is tough, the season itself is very tough, it is nearing its end, and that is a very tough place to be."


text: Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited (TSE 4568) and ArQule, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQL) today announced that the first patient has been enrolled in the pivotal Phase 3 METIV-HCC ( MET-high patients with tivantinib in HCC) trial of tivantinib (ARQ 197). Tivantinib, an investigational selective inhibitor of MET, a receptor tyrosine kinase, is being evaluated for the treatment of patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have received one or two prior systemic anti-cancer therapies. The METIV-HCC trial is a randomized, double-blinded, controlled study of previously treated patients with MET-high inoperable HCC who will receive tivantinib or placebo. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS), and the secondary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS). Approximately 300 patients are planned to be enrolled at approximately 120 clinical centers worldwide. Additional details of the trial are available on www.clinicaltrials.gov. "We are very pleased to begin this Phase 3 trial to advance our understanding of the potential role of tivantinib in the treatment of HCC," said Glenn Gormley, MD, PhD, Global Head of Research and Development and Senior Executive Officer, Daiichi Sankyo. "It is our hope that this late-stage study will confirm the positive results we saw in Phase 2 in time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) observed in patients whose tumors were MET-high." "Hepatocellular carcinoma is a devastating disease, and patients with advanced HCC are in need of new therapies that can help extend their lives," said Paolo Pucci, chief executive officer of ArQule. "The METIV-HCC trial follows positive Phase 2 results that demonstrated improvements in overall survival and time to progression observed among MET-high patients." In October 2012, agreement was reached with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) for this pivotal Phase 3 trial. The SPA process is a procedure by which the FDA provides official evaluation and written guidance on the design and size of proposed protocols that are intended to form the basis for a New Drug Application. Final marketing approval depends on the results of the trial.

Forum:Turkey Ball 2012
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
So... is the Aristocrats' Turkey Day Ball Contest still a thing? Or is everyone too worried about Uncyclopedia's DOOM? I mean, it's no big deal if we aren't. I was just thinking about writing a sexual version of O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi for Christmas, i.e. The Gift of the Vagi. However, I can't think of any jokes beyond trading sex toys and 69ing in the end. You know, like the original Magi did in the Bible.
I'm getting a little off track.
I think if anything it might boost morale and attract new users. Or, it could go down in flames and finally kill this site for good. >_>

It wouldnt be the same if it didnt end in ARISTOCRATS and honestly, I never laugh as much at a series of articles like these disgusting unreadable filthy atrocities! Its my favourite competition on the site. I enjoy IMMENSELY writing the articles about disgusting obsenity and unspeakable vulgarity. Even if I write the only entry, this competition must go on! --ShabiDOO 02:57, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

We probably don't have enough judges or enough writers to have a decent competition this year.

Awards Season Special: Hairstyle Retrospective
At this year's Golden Globes, a dash of color played across most puckers and loose locks ruled. Keep reading for more of the night's most popular trends.
Jean Seberg and Mia Farrow popularized the pixie cut in the sixties—a hairstyle that Blue Valentine actress Michelle Williams translates effortlessly into the present day. In complementing Williams' retro-chic 'do, Chanel makeup artist Jeanine Lobell says she took her cue from Seberg and Farrow and opted for a burst of mod, bold lashes. To update the look, she gave Williams a fresh coral lip using Chanel Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Chalys.
Like Williams, January Jones also rocked a bright lip with a sixties-inspired hairdo. Her coiffeur, Frédéric Fekkai stylist Renato Campora, referenced the "striking" beauty from the decade by giving her glamorous full-bodied waves.

Digital Content & Libraries Working Group
The American Library Association (ALA) Digital Content & Libraries Working Group (DCWG) was created in late 2011 to address growing concerns that digital content providers were restricting or refusing access to ebooks and other forms of electronic information through our nation's libraries. The group began establishing new relationships and seeking sustainable solutions in meetings with Big Six publishers. Since then, DCWG members have broadened their conversations to include distributors, author groups and other representatives in the reading ecosystem. They have identified challenges, conducted research, initiated new content delivery mechanisms, explored different business models, and worked to create greater awareness of the threat to libraries and public access to information. Learn more about the ALA's work on ebooks and digital content at Transforming Libraries.
eContent Blog
The eContent blog of American Libraries magazine provides regular updates and library perspectives on the changing digital landscape. American Libraries also publishes special online editions covering digital content concerns, including collaborations with authors and publishers.
Authors speaking in support of library ebooks

Ebook Pricing
A frequent contributor to the eContent blog, Jamie LaRue, publishes a monthly comparison (PDF) of library pricing relative to consumer prices for ebooks. While the chart doesn't detail the variety of licensing regimes used by different major publishers (e.g., one publisher may charge five times the consumer price, but offer perpetual access; another publisher may charge prices more comparable to those charged to consumers, but limit the number of circulations before the content needs to be re-purchased), it does provide a snapshot of library access to popular ebooks.
Peter Brantley
Publishers Weekly columnist Peter Brantley writes weekly about the digital landscape, including how authors and libraries may collaborate—"Authors: Say Yes to Libraries."
More from Authors
Both the National Writers Union ("NWU Supports Librarians' Objections to Publishers' E-Book Licensing Terms") and the American Society of Journalists and Authors ("No eBooks in Libraries is a License to Steal (Books) (PDF)") have raised concerns about ebook licensing terms.
Data and Perceptions
A range of surveys, focus groups and data collection have taken place over the past several years to better understand how library patrons borrow and buy ebooks and their perceptions and desires in this area. A few of these include Pew Internet Project, OverDrive and Library Journal.
Marketing to Libraries
One of the most common questions the ALA receives from authors is how they might get their books into the 16,400 public library outlets, 99,180 school or nearly 4,000 higher-education libraries. The ALA Library provides this helpful overview about marketing to libraries.

So, I'm wondering how y'all use planks on the grill? It seems the normal method is to soak them in water and cook over indirect heat. This summer I've been using them dry and preheating to get some smoke rolling before adding the meat/poultry/fish/fruit/whatever. It does result in big flare-ups when the lid is lifted, but while cooking with the lid down it seems to be a great way to infuse a good smoke flavor. This spatchcocked chicken may have been my favorite whole chicken off the grill.
Any thoughts, suggestions, or recommendations? I will say that this doesn't seem to work well with cedar. Perhaps just a personal preference, but we find the cedar smoke to be too pungent so we do soak those planks before cooking fish or fruit. Anyway, I've had fun using oak and hickory planks this way this year.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/7/2013 (1486 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Manitoba justice officials are seeking a new trial against a senior who walked free after striking and killing Brittany Murray, 21, a highway flag worker while going nearly double the speed limit.
Michael Blostein, 70, was found not guilty of dangerous driving causing death earlier this year. Queen's Bench Justice Doug Abra ruled Blostein's conduct didn't represent a "marked departure" from the normal standard of care expected by motorists.
"I am satisfied he was driving with due care and attention," Abra said in his written decision.
The Crown filed notice of appeal today, claiming Abra erred in his judgment and it should be overturned. No date for a hearing has been set.
Blostein was charged following the Oct. 18, 2010, collision that killed Murray. She was employed as a flag woman for Mulder Construction, which was resurfacing a stretch of Highway 207 between the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 15.
Blostein testified he believed the speed limit was still 90 km/h and did not reduce his speed to 60 as warned by signs because he didn't see any workers until he hit Murray, who he claims he didn't see standing in the roadway with the flag. That would still put his speed of 112 km/h at 22 km/h over the limit, rather than 52 km/h over.
However, Abra said it's clear Murray was flagging "some distance away" from any actual construction work in the area, perhaps as much as 200 metres. He said Blostein's high speed alone wasn't enough to convict.
"I am not satisfied that driving at a speed of approximately 112 km/h with good visibility and a dry highway, when there were no workers in the immediate vicinity, was a marked departure from the manner in which a reasonably prudent person would have driven when the wording on the sign is that 60 km/h is the speed limit only when passing workers," said Abra.
"If it was intended that the speed limit of 60 km/h applied throughout the construction zone, whether workers were present or not, the sign should have said that."
Abra also took issue with the fact Murray was wearing iPhone earbuds at the time of the tragedy, which was a violation of company rules and may have led to a lack of attention on her part.
"This undoubtedly impacted her hearing, her concentration and her cognizance for oncoming traffic," he said.
Outside court, Murray's family said they were angered by the decision. They also questioned why Blostein never apologized for what happened.
At his trial, the Crown argued Blostein failed to take cautionary steps a reasonable person would have taken.
"This is a case of speed and inattentiveness," prosecutor Craig Savage said during his closing arguments. "If (Blostein) had been paying more attention to his speed and to his surroundings, he would have seen Miss Murray."
Savage said Blostein should have known to expect a flag person and other workers along the site and was driving too fast for those conditions. Savage said the report of an RCMP collision-reconstruction analyst found that, based on the skid marks, Blostein had been travelling at a minimum of 112 km/h just before he applied his brakes and then was doing 89 km/h when he struck and killed Murray.
Defence co-counsel Lisa LaBossiere said Blostein did nothing that day that should turn him into a criminal. Abra clearly agreed.
