Whether you're thinking of buying an Obamacare plan or have already signed up, here's what you need to know.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, commonly called the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or Obamacare, introduced into law several consumer protections that have come as a welcome relief to people with neurologic conditions. You no longer have to worry about being denied health insurance or getting charged a higher premium based on a neurologic condition, poor health status, or prior claims history. It's illegal for a health insurance company to arbitrarily cancel your benefits just because you get sick. New benefits introduced by the ACA include free care for preventive health services such as dietary counseling, aspirin therapy, and screening for blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes—important provisions that can help prevent cerebrovascular disease (such as stroke) and safeguard brain health.Since ACA health insurance first became available in October 2013, more than 8 million people have enrolled, exceeding expectations. (Nearly 2.6 million signed up in the state-based marketplaces, and more than 5.4 million in the federally-facilitated marketplace). In more than a dozen states, including Texas, Georgia and Florida, enrollment doubled after March 1. But with such a rapid explosion of new plans suddenly in effect, patients are running into unexpected problems that can threaten their care.So what do you need to ask if you've just started to use an ACA health insurance plan or are thinking of purchasing one when the open enrollment begins again for next year on November 15?
1) Four types of plans are available through the ACA: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. (Catastrophic high-deductible plans for people under 30 and people with financial hardship exemptions are also available.) Premiums are usually higher for plans that pay more out-of-pocket medical costs. For example, if you purchase a Platinum plan, you will likely pay the highest monthly premiums, but you will also have lower out-of-pocket costs when you go to the doctor or use another medical service. If you select a Bronze plan, you'll likely have the lowest premiums among these four metal tiers, but you'll be responsible for paying a higher share of costs when you receive care.
2) The time to understand these fees, which are your share of your health costs, is before you buy a new plan. Much like leasing a car, how you set up the purchase plan will determine how much you have to pay at the time of service. But, unlike leasing a car, the prices of health services are not transparent. What's more, you may not be able to find out your share of the cost—for example, your co-insurance—in advance of treatment. Nevertheless, it's absolutely essential to understand that the cost of coverage is far more complex than just the premium due per month.The three basic variables you must know about your health plan are the copayment, co-insurance, and deductible.A copayment is a flat fee (for example, $25) you pay for a covered healthcare service with a participating provider, usually requested at the time of service. The amount can vary by the type of covered healthcare service. For example, my primary care copay is $15, whereas my specialist co-pay is $30. And be aware: if your neurologist provides more than one service, such as a test and an office visit on the same date, you may be responsible for more than one copayment at the time of your visit.Co-insurance is your portion of the costs of a covered healthcare service, calculated as a percentage of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if your health plan's allowed amount for an office visit is $50, and you've met your deductible, and the co-insurance is 20 percent, your share would be 20 percent of $50: $10. The health plan pays 80 percent, the rest of the allowed amount.
If you have enrolled in an Obamacare plan and have experienced any problems, we'd like to hear your story. Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or mail it to: Neurology Now, 333 Seventh Ave., 19th floor, New York, NY 10001.This is the tricky part: if you want a precise number, you must first ask your provider what the allowed amount is for each service. Sometimes, this cannot be determined until the service has been completed, but you can ask your doctor's billing staff for an estimate.A deductible is the amount you owe for healthcare services your health plan covers before your insurance begins to pay. For example, my plan's deductible is $500, which means it won't pay anything until I've met that amount for the year (preventive care is excluded). Health plans configure and apply these fees differently. Under one plan, a comprehensive deductible might apply to all services, while another plan might have a separate deductible for covered services such as prescription drug coverage. In 2014, the maximum for individual out-of-pocket costs for in-network services is $6,350.You may also have a family deductible amount, a sum of the out-of-pocket expenses of all family members that is counted until the deductible is satisfied, and an individual member amount that applies to each family member. The maximum for families in 2014 is $12,700. Health insurance plans purchased through the ACA tend to have high deductibles. If you have purchased a Bronze plan, you may not realize that you must spend several thousand dollars towards your deductible until your insurance kicks in. For example, if I had purchased an individual ACA insurance plan through Aetna in New York State, I would be responsible for paying $3,000 for health services at a cost of $513 per month before my plan began to pay my providers. A Platinum plan through Aetna would have cost me $823.00 per month, but my deductible would have dropped to $2,000. (To compare ACA plans in your area, go to healthpocket.com/individual-health-insurance.)
3) Typically, health insurance plans sold through the ACA's marketplaces use narrow networks of providers: that is, they limit the providers their customers can use. If you see a doctor in the allowed network of participating providers, you will be responsible only for your out-of-pocket expenses as previously described, but if you go out-of-network, you will likely be responsible for all of the costs.Unfortunately, finding out if your neurologist is in-network is not as easy as it should be. Most practices participate in more than a dozen insurance plans, and each of these may have several products. It's not enough to ask the receptionist at your neurologist's office, "Do you take my Anthem insurance?" Instead, you need to ask if your neurologist accepts the full name of the ACA insurance product, such as, "Do you participate in the Anthem Core DirectAccess Obamacare plan in Connecticut?" Finding out if your neurologist is in-network may take more effort than simply checking the insurance company's website or provider network manual, as these are not always up-to-date. Especially with new plans, they may be inaccurate.To make matters even more complicated, your doctor may be in-network with several other health insurance products provided by your insurance company but may have elected not to join the Obamacare plan. Even if they do participate, the facilities they direct you to for services—such as the MRI scanning facility—may not. You need to inquire with each provider of service if they, too, participate in your specific insurance product.Physicians' office staff may be unsure about their participation in an Obamacare plan as well. Many doctors, including neurologists, "opted out" of those plans because the fee schedules (panels of amounts covered per service) were not all defined prior to the opt-out date in 2012. That's like agreeing to sell your car to someone at a price he determines but will only disclose later.Insurance company representatives may be confused about coverage; even the website could be incomplete or inaccurate. This dearth of accurate information is the subject of a lawsuit recently filed in California against Blue Shield. In their complaint, San Francisco residents John Harrington and Alex Talon accuse Blue Shield of misrepresenting the providers covered by their ACA plans sold on California's health exchange. According to the complaint, Harrington and Talon discovered that their providers were not covered only after receiving medical treatment numerous times between January and March, forcing them to pay the charges out-of-pocket. They sued on behalf of a group of other customers who had purchased similar plans from the insurer, only later to realize that the doctor and hospital networks for their plans were limited.As a neurologist, I've had my own share of growing pains when it comes to Obamacare. A patient came to my practice in January, and my office verified her eligibility and benefits by telephone with the insurer, a small regional company. The company's representative provided us with information regarding the deductible (none) and co-payment ($45). When the patient arrived, we viewed and copied her insurance card; it appeared no different from the others we had seen for that insurance company. We later learned that the coverage was provided by an ACA product that we didn't accept.Unfortunately, this scenario is being played out all across the country. A survey released in May by the Medical Group Management Association, the leading association for medical practice executives and leaders, found that 62 percent of respondents reported moderate to extreme difficulty with identifying a patient that has ACA exchange coverage as opposed to traditional commercial health insurance.So keep track of all your conversations related to network participation: call each provider as well as your insurance company. Write down whom you've spoken with, the date and time of the conversation, and what was said. In the case of my patient, that's what we did, and the insurer was able to review the taped recording, and ultimately, pay the bill. Yes, it takes effort, but it will likely pay off.
4) One of the chief concerns for anyone who enrolls in a new health plan is whether their medications will be covered. For people with neurologic conditions, many of whom require treatment with costly drugs, this is especially important. Under the new law, all individual and small-group plans must cover at least one drug in every category and class in the U.S. Pharmacopeia, the official publication of approved medications in this country. Over-the-counter drugs are usually not covered, even if your neurologist writes you a prescription for them, and insurers can place limits on those medications they will pay for, covering only generic versions of drugs.If your plan no longer covers your medication, you may be eligible for a one-time refill for your medication after you first enroll. If you can't get a one-time refill, you have the right to follow your insurance company's drug exceptions process, which may allow you to get a prescribed drug that's not normally covered. Generally, to get your medication covered through the exceptions process, your doctor must confirm to your health plan that the drug is appropriate for your medical condition based on the fact that other drugs covered by your plan haven't been or won't be as effective as the drug you're asking for, or that the alternative drugs covered by your plan have caused or are likely to cause side effects that may be harmful to you.However, finding out what's on the formulary (the covered list of medications) can be challenging. An April report by Avalere Health, a market research firm, found that drug formularies are very or moderately accessible in only 52 percent of exchange plans. Thirty-eight percent of plans had no drug formulary data available, presenting significant obstacles to consumers who are shopping for insurance and attempting to determine the value of their coverage. Avalere also found that the insurance companies' links are not always direct, and in some cases, may redirect users to the insurer's homepage, which then requires them to navigate the website—with as many as six clicks—to find the appropriate documents. If you experience difficulties, call your health insurance plan and ask for a written Summary of Benefits and Coverage.
5) The ACA grants a 90-day grace period to individuals purchasing subsidized coverage through state insurance exchanges. If you are receiving an advance premium tax credit—which can help make purchasing health insurance coverage more affordable for people with moderate incomes—you don't have to pay your premiums in full, and have a 90-day grace period. But if you fail to make your payments within months two or three, the insurance company can refuse to pay for the visit or ask your provider to return the reimbursed amounts. That's because a provision in the ACA law requires that insurers cover the first 30 days of treatment, but during the subsequent 60 days there are no guarantees. So, if you receive care during that period of time and your payment has not been received, your coverage will likely be cancelled and you could be held responsible for those bills incurred.Despite these growing pains, most people, especially those who had not been able to afford health insurance before, appear pleased with their coverage. But knowing what to ask, and doing so before you sign up, should go a long way in helping you avoid the glitches and get the most out of your new coverage.

Vaiable Material properties
Hai friends,
Can any one explain how to give variable material properties. Actuall i had a block consist of two different materials. How to give material properties seperatly.
Any help please
Re: Vaiable Material properties
Create two different volume for each block and assign properties. This would be the easiest way.
Re: Vaiable Material properties
Hi Pialisen,
I think when you set material, you set from menu Define/Material... This is a menu for load material from library. If you have 2 materials or more, use menu Define/Boudanry Condition.... then select 'Fluid.1' and click 'Set'. Then, the dialog box will shown you a material that you want to choose for 'Fluid.1', And, I think you should have 2 fluids ,( set by Gambit )

One of the more popular file managers, Astro, is getting ready for its update today. It now has a complete new overhaul from a brand new icon to a redesigned UI. This update is unfortunately only available to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean users currently. Right now, devices are on a lower version of Android is going to be stuck on version 3 for now. Hopefully they will hopefully be pushing the update to those users that don't have Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The new UI design is certainly really nice, but is quite different from what the average ASTRO user is used too. Upon launching the application you're greeted with the brand spankin' new three-paned start screen offering a search box, folder options, locations and a list of recent files. Swiping to the left will offer some similar options as the start screen but with some more settings to control. Swiping to the right of the screen instead will give quick access to some of the SDcard usage statistics, a task killer and a application manager.
Here's some of the highlights in Version 4 of the ASTRO File Manager:
Metago has taken the knowledge gained from almost 40M users and built v4.0 from the ground up with the complete user experience in mind. We have focused on ease of use, speed and cloud integrations.
- Complete UX and UI redesign making ASTRO faster and easier to use than ever including a new "Home Screen" that has 3 tabs: One-Click Searches, Locations & Recent Items. You can also do a right swipe anytime in ASTRO to view these without leaving your current screen.
- Powerful search capabilities
- Quickly access and manage all your files regardless of location (Android, PC, Cloud) and save favorite locations. Current cloud support for Google Drive and Dropbox. Will soon support SkyDrive, Box, auCloud (Japan), and others.
- Recent files tab allows you to find the files you have most recently used
- New side panels (swipe left or right) to allow quicker access to your favorite locations and directories including popular cloud storage services and the ASTRO Tools (SD card usage, Task Killer, App Backup).
- Easy to use built-in networking module for Windows and Mac (no longer is it a separate download). Just scan for devices, choose your device and enter the credentials if required.

Pictures are often said to be decieving and the ones on La Quinta's website certainly are. This hotel is right next door to an all night I-HOP and is more like a nice motel vs a "Hotel". Room was as expected and no thrills as was the Continental breakfast. This hotel is good for it's very close proximity to I-35. Be careful if you book a La Quinta hotel in Austin as there are over 14 with 7 being right off the highway and very close to each other.
This hotel did not have external entrances and did not have an elevator, thus I had to go in the lobby,up the stairs to walk outside to my room. Bright spot was nice front desk staff who were very nice and attentive.

Persuasive Research on the Effects of Music
Most people have a favorite song. Sometimes people favor songs due to their eloquent lyrical content, and other times people are attracted to a certain song due to its addictive rhythm and beat. Nevertheless, music truly is a powerful force, and can affect one in many different ways according to genre and mood. When someone is sad they tend to listen to slower, more reflective songs that may induce a sense of nostalgia. Also, when one is feeling happy or excited upbeat songs with infectious beat tend to be favored. How do these two types of music affect the listener? It depends on the specific listener. Some sad songs brighten one's mood, but others may increase feelings of distress and sorrow. That in itself isn't necessarily a bad thing though. On the other hand, some happy and upbeat songs encourage an optimistic and cheery mood, but others may cause feelings of annoyance. I have been on both sides of these spectrum's, and I'm sure you have too. Overall, music can be a life changing emotional outlet.
Studies show that music can be a very beneficial force in one's life. Many people, especially teens, use music as a way to healthily let of their painful inner emotions which can cause depression. Instead of acting out irrationally, many music listeners turn to their ear buds or their headphones, and turn the desired tune up a little louder. Take John for example. "After some time in therapy, John realized he'd been repressing significant anger and aggression due to years of childhood emotional and physical abuse. Music had become his voice and his outlet. In a sense, music could touch the deep emotions that John dared not experience on his own. Now, equipped with an awareness of his previously-suppressed emotions, John has been able to unlock them and begin to work through the issues that have existed since childhood." (How Music Impacts) This has been the case for many other people too.
While music can help alleviate depression, it can also greatly decrease anxiety and stress. HealthyChildren.org states, "Many people find familiar music comforting and calming. In fact, music is so effective in reducing anxiety; it is often used in dental, preoperative, and radiation therapy settings to help patients cope with their worries about procedures. Music helps decrease anxiety in the elderly, new mothers, and children too." (Music and Mood) When touching on the effects of music with stress, they also state "Since ancient times, it has been known that certain kinds of music can help soothe away stress. Calming background music can significantly decrease irritability and promote calm in elderly nursing home patients with dementia. Music, widely chosen, lowers stress hormone levels." (Music and Mood)
In conclusion, there is no doubt that music can be a very beneficial emotional outlet. People of all ages listen to it every day. It's become almost a default. One song, just one song, has the power to make someone's day whether they consciously realize it or not. My advice is to be mindful of the effects of the music you listen to, and really mull over the thoughts and emotions they evoke.

Superstar Salman Khan has been advised by doctors to stay off stunt scenes, owing to his medical condition.
The actor has been suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia for quite some time now, and was in the US last year for an operation.
Doctors have said that a wrong blow on his face, the affected area, could aggravate the condition.
While the situation is grave for Salman from the health point of view, the film trade is threatened, too.
Salman is currently Bollywoods most bankable superstar and four out of his forthcoming five biggies have cast the actor in heavy-duty action roles.

A pastor was arrested by the Chennai police and remanded to judicial custody on Monday for allegedly raping a woman laity and cheating another woman who used to frequent his church.
According to one of the woman laity complainants, Mariyal (name changed), the pastor had allegedly "cheated her into believing that god had approved of a marital relationship with her for the past six years."
Mariyal, a regular visitor to the Church, is already married and a mother of two children. She also complained that Selvaraj had also defrauded her of nearly Rs 3 lakh in cash and five sovereigns' jewellery, claiming his super-natural powers.
Another woman complainant Sukanya (also named changed) accused the pastor of making sexual advances on her and allegedly attempting to outrage her modesty in recent months.
He had also forced her to depart with Rs 63,000 cash and some jewellery, it is alleged.
Two other women associated with this church also complained to the police that Selvaraj's behaviour was far from exemplary as he had been trying to extort money out of them saying he had spent a lot to build the church hall.

This post is divided in three parts. First part of the series will focus on some pointers on how to go about the IELTS Speaking Module, followed by IELTS Speaking topics that are generally asked in the IELTS Speaking tests.
In order to successfully pass LSAT and IELTS Speaking test you need to have confidence while speaking. Here are some quick tips:
- Try rehearsing and recording your voice when testing your speaking skills
- Listening to the news reporters and adopting their way of speaking
- Smile and Enthusiasm while speaking
- Attending English group events like Toastmasters
- Joining Social events to develop confidence
- Start talking in English
- Learn Expressive gestures when speaking
- Try to be Fluent when speaking English
- Learn to understand English topics
- Instant and prompt answering Techniques
- Remember, First impression is the Last impression
- Remember to introduce yourself well during the IELTS speaking skills test
LSAT & IELTS Speaking test preparation
Clearing IELTS Speaking Test with limited time
If you don't have time to develop the qualities which are mentioned above because your IELTS test is coming close, you can still clear the IELTS Speaking Test, but it will depend on your grasp of English and how well you express yourself to others.
First Impression is the Last Impression
Needless to say you need confidence, friendly nature and ability to understand topic before you speak in IELTS test. Also it is a common belief in First impression is the last impression, so make sure your starting is impressive. Remember you may not know the last two sections in IELTS Speaking test but you definitely know the first section which is to introduce yourself to the IELTS Examiner, so don't lose you first chance. Give a good impression by providing excellent introduction of yourself.
Reality about IELTS Examiners
One day I was shopping in super market, and suddenly I saw a face very familiar, as I remembered she was my examiner in speaking task of IELTS. I was startled by that, because I thought they are not normal human beings. But I approached her just because I was curious, and talked to her as I told her that she was my examiner, after that we had a good conversation and we shopped together.
Moral of the story is IELTS examiners are people like you and me, so when you sit for IELTS exam don't be intimidated. Be polite and friendly. Before you start the conversation, ideally you would like to wish them good morning or good afternoon and ask how are they are today.
These small things have psychological impact on your IELTS examiner, which in turn helps you out when you speak; they tend to become soft if you do so. Although some times this technique doesn't work. Actually it depends on the examiner's personal characteristics.
Second Part of IELTS Speaking Test
The second part in IELTS speaking test is the question which is normally derived from your introduction. Most of the teacher would tell you not to explain your answer in details if you want to pass IELTS Speaking Module, but I highly recommend you to keep on speaking until they tell you to stop. Some times they judge your fluency which is based on this small section of IELTS speaking task. Also, they judge your understanding of English by stopping in middle of conversation and putting forth another question. Ideally you should keep on speaking until they tell you to stop or put forth another question.
Last part of IELTS Speaking Test
The last part is the longest part of all, and the examiner will provide you with a pencil and a piece of paper. Once the topic is given the examiner will give you 1 minute to write down the ideas. Again, speak as much as you can until they tell you to stop. You have to speak for 10 minutes so be prepared for this one.
One thing i need to mentioned again is start Speaking in English as much as you can and this will help you fasttrack to the 9 bands in IELTS. With these pointer i believe you will be able to adapt well with the IELTS Speaking test.
I am sure you will have some questions/concerns that you would like to clearify. You can ask any question below in the comment box.

Gomes plans Spurs stay
Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has rubbished speculation of a January exit and feels he has a long-term future at White Hart Lane.
Last Updated: 21/12/08 9:25am
Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes believes he has a long-term future at White Hart Lane.
The former PSV Eindhoven shot-stopper has come under fire this season following a series of high-profile blunders since his £7million summer move to England.
However, the Brazilian has improved since the arrival of manager Harry Redknapp, who has confessed he will be looking for a new shot-stopper in the New Year, and has performed well in December.
Gomes has come in for heavy criticism, with speculation linking him with a return to PSV, but ahead of Sunday's trip to Newcastle the 27-year-old remains confident.
"In my head I still think big and think I will play for Tottenham a long time," said Gomes.
"I came here to play but it was very difficult for me because everyone said I'm a bad goalkeeper, not the goalkeeper to play for Tottenham.
"I still think about this and it was a difficult moment. I've come back step by step.
"I know I am a very good goalkeeper at the top level.
"It's difficult for the opposition to score goals against me. I am confident now and I know I am better. But I'm not 100 per cent fit yet and the next games will get even better."

Didier Zokora is taking every game as it comes at the moment with our season in full swing and competition on four fronts.
Next up is tomorrow night's Carling Cup semi-final first leg with Burnley at The Lane - a massive game for the midfielder.
The Ivory Coast international was away with his country at this time last year, therefore missing out on our memorable success over Arsenal at the same stage of the competition.
And although he acknowledges that we are the bookies favourites to get past the Championship side and make it to Wembley for a second year in a row, Didier is treating this clash the same as any other we prepare to face at the moment.
"Last year I was at the African Cup of Nations when we were playing the semi-finals, so this game is very important to me now," he said.
"Going into the game we are the favourites, but we must be ready to win this leg because we are the home team and we need goals to take with us to Burnley.
"Friday's [in the FA Cup against Wigan] win was good for the confidence because Wigan are doing well in the league.
"And likewise, we need a win against Burnley to take confidence into our league match with Wigan next Sunday. This is why every game is equally important."
Didier was a key member of the side which claimed the league cup trophy at Wembley last year, and now he is looking to do it all again.
"It's everyone's dream to play in a Wembley final, and now we have a big chance to do it again for the second year running and qualify for Europe.
"We are looking to put on a good performance against Burnley on what should be a great night with fantastic atmosphere in front of our fans."
16 August 2017
In a new, occasional series, we'll feature a player's defining moment in a Spurs shirt. First up, with Chelsea next in our first Premier League match at Wembley on Sunday, Jonathan Woodgate remembers the 2008 League Cup Final.

StubHub, the official ticket resale marketplace of Tottenham Hotspur, are offering one lucky Spurs fan the chance to win four general admission tickets to the last home game of the season! A game that you do not want to miss!

Just in case he'd wondered, Harry Winks was left in little doubt as to the impact he's made in his breakthrough season as he helped us manage the final part of Sunday's win against Southampton.

With the recent announcement of XBL's Play to Earn program, Marc Lynch wonders if Microsoft is reaching out just a little too late.
Great article that fleshes out my own thoughts on Microsoft. As an indie fan with many indie dev friends I've heard repeatedly how difficult it is in dealing with XBLA.
In terms of patching I know of a few games that are great but lack in updates on XBLA. Take Dungeon Defenders for example, on PC is WAY better than on XLBA in terms of updates. Isn't this because it is so costly to patch/update on XBLA. One free one, right?
Too little too late. I'm already sold on the PS4 in terms of next gen consoles.
Nice to seem them support their loyal customers, but overall I'm not impressed with the offerings. It has a long way to go before it rivals what PS+ gives their gamers.
I find it funny that not too long ago Microsoft dumped their XNA/Indie support for XBox 360, which although brought some very dull games, was still a great way for Indie Devs to get their games on Xbox Live Arcade and play them on the TV with the 360 controller.
Now all-of-a-sudden, with Sony's next-gen surge to core gamers and indie gamers combined, seems Microsoft are now playing catch-up, and seeing if there's anyway to get indie devs back on Xbox.
I am not blind, Microsoft always were behind the competition (Sony and Nintendo).
Think about it. They released the original Xbox really late in the generation. Then they totally dropped support just a couple years later to release the 360 early as possible to try to stay ahead of the competition. As of right now it's not looking good and the "720" is the only hope now. Kinect probably drop the ball for them the most even though it was a commercial success.

Berlusconi Bunga Bunga Parties
November 17, 2011 by staff
Berlusconi Bunga Bunga Parties, PRIVATE meetings with Silvio Berlusconi are always unpredictable but are guaranteed to prove interesting. When I interviewed him at Palazzo Grazioli, his private mansion in Rome, during the 2001 election campaign he banged the marble coffee table with his fist as he voiced his anger at prosecutors who were investigating his business dealings. They were leading a left-wing plot to destroy him, he said.
He won that election and returned to power after six years on the sidelines. When I met him for a second time a year later, in a richly-decorated salon at Palazzo Chigi, the prime minister's official residence, he was in a better mood.
He kicked off our meeting by telling me a filthy joke involving an English nurse. His aides blanched visibly and afterwards made me promise not to repeat this prime ministerial barzelletta sporca. It was, in any case, unprintable.
My third interview was in his private Airbus 319 as he flew back to Rome after a day of hustings on the Adriatic coast during his 2008 election campaign. Looking strained, his voice hoarse after giving several speeches, the 71-year-old slouched in his plush seat, resting his left leg with its generously-heeled shoe on the back of the seat in front of him.
He admitted wearily that the rough-and-tumble of politics made him think of quitting "every day", but he said with a broad smile: "It's the same everywhere I go – people treat me like a rock star."
Rock-star status had its compensations. On board were two attractive young women, a blonde and a brunette, apparently in their twenties. One of his assistants told me they were from the chorus of young men and women who massed behind him at rallies to sing his campaign anthem "Thank God for Silvio".
The two beauties fawned over Berlusconi and squealed "Oh, Prime Minister!" in delight when he offered to bring them to his residence that night – to share pizza and watch one of his political opponents on TV, of course.
At the beginning of last week Berlusconi, who dominated Italian politics for 18 years, was bent on continuing this happy trajectory, mixing business, politics and personal pleasure – many would say debauchery – while neglecting the obligations of power and the needs of his demoralised country.
With a personal fortune estimated at $7.5 billion, the survival skills of a cat and a media empire fine-tuned to cover up his peccadilloes, he had a mastery of Latin political populism that rivalled even Benito Mussolini's in his pomp (and look what happened to him).
Over the past few days, however, reality at last caught up with Berlusconi. Threatened by euro-disaster, the Italian political class reached a consensus to save their own skins by throwing him to the wolves.
Berlusconi was not always the man the markets love to hate. When he first entered politics in 1993, he was a self-made Milanese billionaire who had become a property developer at the age of 25 and built a vast media empire.
Italy's entire post-war political establishment had recently been swept away. The Christian Democrats and Socialists had fallen to the mani pulite (clean hands) judicial investigations that revealed long suspected corruption; and the once-powerful Italian Communist Party had split during the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Berlusconi ran a slick campaign to project himself as a fresh, clean "non-politician". Even the name of the party he set up with top executives from his business empire was novel: Forza Italia echoed the triumphs of the AC Milan football club, which he owned.
Many Italians bought into his vision: he had grown rich himself and, they reasoned, he would make them wealthier, too. Backed by celebrities who appeared on his TV shows, Berlusconi was elected premier in 1994, promising to reform pensions and the labour market and to free up competition.
His radical pension plans proved too much for his ally, the Northern League, however, and he lost power after eight months. The lesson stuck.
"Berlusconi started out on the right track; he had a Thatcher-style agenda. But when he realised pension reform was unpopular, he changed tack," said Michele Salvati, political economics professor at Milan University. "That's why he is the main person to blame for today's crisis. To try to stay popular he's failed to push through the reforms Italy needs."

Flooring Installation, Sales, and Service
The Flooring Pro Guys
While it can appear to be very time consuming to find dependable flooring contractors in Rowlett, TX it really doesn't need to be. We've winnowed through all the flooring contractors in the area and identified those that meet our high standards. The Flooring Pro Guys have already done that and work with only the most reliable and skilled flooring contractors in the region. Bearing the following tips in mind might be helpful in your search for the right flooring contractor for your job.
Hundreds of options and samples to choose from!
Value Vs. Price for a Floor Installation
When hiring a flooring contractor, most people aim to get the best quality possible considering their budget constraints. Many times, when you work with the cheapest contractor, it can end up costing you more because the job is done poorly and poor materials are used. If you need to make sure that your project will be completed only one time, it's a good idea to not hire the cheapest contractor you could find. A little online research can help you decide what type of flooring fits your needs and your budget.
During price negotiations, be cautious of pricing that's almost unbelievable. Your main concern, if you care about the warranty, is to make certain that the service provider stays in business. Once a flooring contractor isn't working in the service provider field anymore, they should be off limits as far as business goes. Request for a proper documentation detailing terms of the warranty.
Local References
Obtaining at least a few reference contacts is a wise move. The contractors you end up working with need to have the very best references. We'll gladly present you with the names of satisfied clients you could contact. The Flooring Pro Guys can introduce you to a lot of happy customers who will take your call and share with you their previous experience with us.
When you're talking to a flooring contractor's references, make sure to ask how effectively the staff treated their property. Flooring jobs can be messy and the crew should let you know how the mess will probably be cleaned. A flooring contractor who is excellent will always restore the house to its original condition. After all, you need to ensure the local contractor you choose will take care of your property and belongings.
A Professional Flooring Contractor
Prior to making a decision to work with, remember to see their liability insurance policy. You will understand that a licensed insurance company sees them as an acceptable risk if they've a significant insurance policy for flooring. After all, you never need to get caught working with a contractor that is not insured. You generally have an upper hand working with an insured contractor as they adhere to details to avoid an increase in insurance premium.
It is vital to check if the flooring contractors have a professional inscription on their vehicle. A truck or van that lacks professional signage might have been borrowed or rented for the occasion, which should tip you off to a fly-by-night operation or even a potential scam. Confirm if the phone number displayed on the vehicle signage is a local phone number. A professional flooring company will have a professional person answering all phone calls.
A Quality Flooring Installation
With regards to being at the property while the undertaking is being worked on, a genuine expert will provide you with a detailed plan and will show you how they'll handle the mess that goes with the work. It's your contractor's responsibility to put together a pre-project plan that provides an overview of the entire flooring process. You have to be presented time frames, the details and total steps to completion. You could trust The Flooring Pro Guys to do everything possible to assist minimize the hassle for your family.
Talk with your chosen contractor to effectively discover exactly what the finishing to completion entails for the flooring project. Ask your contractor how many employees will be on the project, and whether they typically work on one room or several rooms at the same time. You can expect your flooring job to create a lot of trash, so ask your contractor if his crew will remove it. The procedure of cleaning up after a job is completed should be outlined for you before a local contractor begins the job.
It's A Messy Job!
Be sure to find out how the contractor plans to avoid a major mess during the duration of the project. The best flooring contractors know to use heavy plastic barriers to protect the home and property. A special overlap technique is used by contractors to ensure the area is dust proof. Movie scenes often use caution tape but we make use of a red tape stating men are working.
If you have children, you may need to find out if the quote covers the cost of plastic drapes to keep children out of the work area. Nails left on the floor can easily be stepped on by young children. Ensuring the safety of both homeowners and crew is an important responsibility of your flooring contractor. The final thing you need to happen is for a licensed contractor to create a potential danger for your children.
A Professional Flooring Installation From A Trusted Flooring Contractor
A real professional who has successfully completed a flooring job should be able to tell details of the service from memory. There's need for him to have a professional presentation that shows product lines that are available. A true contractor should know the merits and demerits of each flooring product he offers, and he should be in a position to quote the various options as well as their respective prices from memory. Constantly looking up things could be a cause for alarm.
Ensure that nothing has fallen through the cracks and that the legal agreement drawn up by your chosen contractor accurately captures all of your specifications for the job. Ensure that nothing has been left out or changed, and that everything you and your contractor have already agreed upon is accurately captured in the legal agreement. Never sign anything at all until you have made sure that all of your questions and concerns about the job have been addressed. If there are legal matters that are hindering your ability to understand a legal contract prior to signing it, this is where your lawyer comes into play.
On occasion, customers will select a different path for the project altogether after the coating has begun. Extra charges usually are involved for wasted material and time, so selecting durable stain instead of low quality ones is key. As a client, you should receive top-notch work from any contractor you hire. At the Flooring Pro Guys, we would like for you to join the ranks of our most happy of customers.

The rule of law held, and Roman Catholics who had been excluded from our new republic, and its guarantees that one may believe or not as they choose, gave way to welcome Catholics, and persons of any other religious flavor, to the land that had made real the Enlightenment vision that government can be, and should be, run without approval from any religion or religious authority.
There still remained a fear that if a Catholic was elected President of the United States, the will of the church would be revealed to that Catholic President and that this President would then subordinate our Bill of Rights to the dogma of the church.
Until John F. Kennedy, a Catholic, ran for President of the United States.
Here is what Kennedy said to the Greater Houston Ministerial Association on September 12, 1960:
"But because I am a Catholic, and no Catholic has ever been elected President, the real issues in this campaign have been obscured–perhaps deliberately, in some quarters less responsible than this. So it is apparently necessary for me to state once again–not what kind of church I believe in, for that should be important only to me–but what kind of America I believe in.
I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute–where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote–where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference–and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.
I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish–where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source–where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials–and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all.
For while this year it may be a Catholic against whom the finger of suspicion is pointed, in other years it has been, and may someday be again, a Jew–or a Quaker–or a Unitarian- -or a Baptist. It was Virginia's harassment of Baptist preachers, for example, that helped lead to Jefferson's statute of religious freedom. Today I may be the victim–but tomorrow it may be you–until the whole fabric of our harmonious society is ripped at a time of great national peril.
Finally, I believe in an America where religious intolerance will someday end–where all men and all churches are treated as equal–where every man has the same right to attend or not attend the church of his choice–where there is no Catholic vote, no anti-Catholic vote, no bloc voting of any kind–and where Catholics, Protestants and Jews, at both the lay and pastoral level, will refrain from those attitudes of disdain and division which have so often marred their works in the past, and promote instead the American ideal of brotherhood.
That is the kind of America in which I believe. And it represents the kind of Presidency in which I believe–a great office that must neither be humbled by making it the instrument of any one religious group nor tarnished by arbitrarily withholding its occupancy from the members of any one religious group. I believe in a President whose religious views are his own private affair, neither imposed by him upon the nation or imposed by the nation upon him as a condition to holding that office."

So, then enter Presidential candidate Rick Santorum who says that Kennedy's statement on church/state separation makes him want to vomit.
Clearly Rick Santorum is no Jack Kennedy.
Article VI of the Constitution of the United States says: "…no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
What part of "no" don't they understand?
Why is someone who speaks treason even given audience by liberty loving Americans?
Let us say the view became popular and implemented that some god's laws could completely trump laws made by sober people in serious contemplation of real consequences.
If one is a church, then that church gets to get away with a great multitude of things that would get those not so attached to a church thrown in jail for awhile.
It's simple. Your churches make their own rules and the civil authorities stand powerless before them.
If your church rule says it is okay to have sex with children, well "that's that" said the grammarian. Secular authority that wants to give everyone "equal protection of the laws" will not interfere. So long as We the People put up with this, black robed evil will continue.
And if the laws of god control, please fantasize a world where those who do not believe are seen as enemies of the state. How could atheists possibly be pleasing to god? Therefore, god must be angry because we permit that which annoys him.
How to fix this? Get rid of the atheists. Let the priests tell you what laws you should make, break, or follow.
Then the priests will not just have your children. They will have you and everything you own as well.
Remember, all of this monologue is only humor and satire.
Edwin Kagin.

The Delaware River Port Authority held a five-hour meeting Wednesday to essentially get its basic governance standards up to a bare minimum. It is good to see the agency begin to emerge from the dark ages of third-world bureaucracy, but there is much more to be done.
Several board members deserve credit for the reforms, but it is clear that the DRPA's current leadership is in no position to dramatically change the agency's political culture. That is why the DRPA needs new leadership, beginning with the removal of chief executive John Matheussen, board chairman John Estey, and vice chairman Jeffrey Nash.
Each man is there because of political connections. They have presided over an agency that is bloated with debt, riddled with patronage, and driven by politics.
Estey said that he will step down at the end of the year. But his services are no longer needed. He should go now. The DRPA can find a way to survive the next few months without his Ballard Spahr legal connections and political ties to Gov. Rendell. Even in the midst of adopting several good but very basic governance measures, Estey questioned other needed changes. When a proposal was brought up to prohibit political contributions from firms that do business with the DRPA, Estey said: "If we shut them out, I don't know who we'd do business with."
That cuts to the crux of the DRPA's problem — the agency typically does business with political cronies. The DRPA's broader cultural mind-set is to hire friends and family — not to find the best and most-qualified employees or contracted firms at the best price. It is no small coincidence that Estey's law firm — which is also where Rendell, before he was governor, received big pay for little work — has made millions from the DRPA in recent years. Estey, Nash, and Matheussen should not oversee any more spending, borrowing, or hiring at the DRPA. They and their politically connected predecessors helped drive the agency deep into debt and padded the payroll with six-figure hires in dubious jobs.
The board voted to eliminate a few token positions on Wednesday. But there needs to be a full analysis of all spending, jobs, and contracts. Employees and contractors who are not needed, or not qualified, should be terminated, and exorbitant salaries reduced. Forty percent of the DRPA's budget goes to fund $1.4 billion in debt, including $500 million borrowed and given away to a variety of economic-development projects that have little to do with operating the four bridges or PATCO transit line. Perhaps the recent and pending hikes in bridge tolls could have been avoided or reduced if so much of the budget wasn't needed to pay off debt.
The reform measures adopted Wednesday are a nice first step. But more change is needed — in the leadership and governance — before anyone can have much confidence in the DRPA.
