How Obama Can Shape Asia's Rise
Engaging Japan and Korea is key.
Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, President Barack Obama's Asia tour will conclude this week with a visit to South Korea—the world's last Cold War frontier. Even as he ponders critical next steps in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, the president in Asia faces a region on the cusp of fundamental change. More so than any of Mr. Obama's predecessors, how his administration chooses to help shape Asia's rise throughout the first quarter of the 21st century is going to have a critical impact on America's own future as a superpower.
For the first time in world history, three major regions—North America, continental Europe and East Asia—are sharing the world stage. This is possible in no small part because the U.S. engineered the post-World War II pacification and reconstruction of Germany and Japan. Indeed, the eventual formation of the European Union and Asia's rise over the past half century would have been impossible without two critical ingredients: America's security umbrella and the opening of its markets to European and Asian goods. Having created this tripolar world, the U.S. and especially President Obama now need to focus on three core issues to shape the world for the next half century.
First, the world's and Asia's long-term prosperity and stability depend increasingly on China's role as a viable stakeholder. This will depend in turn on the nature of China's engagement with the U.S. and the strategically consequential powers of Asia such as Japan, India, Indonesia, South Korea and Australia. China has replaced the U.S. as the biggest trading partner for many of Asia's leading economies. It also is growing more assertive of its territorial claims, for instance with the Spratly and Paracel islands in the South China Sea, and Beijing is more willing to send its navy further afield.
No Asian country is entirely comfortable with an increasingly powerful China. The region's advanced market economies and rapidly emerging powers such as India, Indonesia and Vietnam are wary of an overbearing China. The U.S. can play a useful role as a counterbalance even as it expands cooperation with China. Despite China's trading importance, the U.S. has in Asia what China does not: direct security ties with the region's key players and five decades of political trust. President Obama should seek ways to strengthen, rather than weaken, America's linkages with its Pacific allies.
This will involve a combination of strengthening America's existing Asian alliances; expanding freedom and democracy across the region by stressing the importance of human rights and ensuring the inclusion of democratization as a key agenda in the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations and other regional forums; and multipronged engagement with China commensurate with its growing influence but also aimed at advancing its social and political responsibilities at home and abroad. If NATO played a critical role in sustaining global prosperity and stability during the Cold War, America's Asian allies are going to play an equally significant role in the years to come.
Second, from a U.S. as well as a regional perspective, one of the most important bilateral relationships in East Asia is the Korean-Japanese partnership. Next year will mark the 100th anniversary of Korea's colonization by Japan. Significant historical disputes exist but it's time to move forward. South Korean President Lee Myung-bak has refused to exploit sporadic tensions in the Korean-Japanese relationship for political purposes and has expended political capital to ensure a closer partnership across the political, economic and even security sectors. As an expression of his commitment to fundamentally resetting his ties with Korea, Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama chose Seoul as his first foreign destination last month.
Maintaining a robust U.S.-Japan alliance is crucial to buttressing stronger ties between Korea and Japan since the U.S. serves as a common security denominator for Seoul and Tokyo. The Korean-Japanese relationship was traditionally the weakest link in the U.S.-Japan-Korea triangle but that's no longer the case. As President Obama reconfigures strategic linkages with Prime Minister Hatoyama, he should bear in mind the powerful synergy that flows from this critical and comprehensive trilateral democratic partnership.
Third, Mr. Obama needs to address the situation on the Korean peninsula, which stands at a historical tipping point. The North Korean nuclear threat continues to dominate the security agenda but far greater change lies over the horizon—the day when all Koreans on both sides of the 38th parallel can live in freedom. Managing such a transition on the peninsula is going to entail the closest of coordination between Korea and the U.S. and robust confidence building with all of its neighbors, but especially with China. Mr. Obama and Mr. Lee should begin a concerted dialogue on a range of possible outcomes on the peninsula but also share their visions and strategies for a unified Korea with key regional players.
All these steps will be challenging for all sides, as the dynamic between America and Korea shows. Seoul is playing a greater role in the Group of 20 economic summits and will host the 2010 meeting, redeploying forces to Afghanistan, and increasing overseas development assistance. But to play a constructive part in the future alliance with the U.S., Seoul has to support more fully democratic institutions in Asia by providing concrete financial and diplomatic assistance, and must step up economic reforms at home to boost its prosperity. As for Washington, continuing to delay the passage of the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement for myopic political interests will only elevate unnecessary tensions.
When U.S. President-elect Dwight Eisenhower visited Korea in the midst of war in 1952, he could never have imagined how America's alliances would transform the face of Asia and Korea. As President Obama travels through Asia, one of the leading barometers of America's continuing influence over the next two to three decades surely resides in how he chooses to manage America's Asian alliances.
Mr. Lee is dean of the Graduate School of International Studies at Yonsei University in Seoul.

Arsenal need to push through a deal for Jamie Vardy before Euro 2016 begins and are also reported to be in talks regards Riyad Mahrez.
The Gunners have activated a £20million release clause in the Leicester City striker's contract, but there is still plenty to be done before a deal can be completed.
Arsenal now face a race against time to complete the move and it has been suggested the deal will collapse unless everything is rubberstamped before the European Championships start.
Arsene Wenger is well aware that other clubs could enter the running and the price could get hiked up if Vardy shines in France, while the player himself wants no distractions once the tournament has started.
Vardy wants to complete a move to the Emirates Stadium and the race is now on to get it done.
Meanwhile, reports claim that Vardy could be joined in the Arsenal squad by his Leicester team-mate Mahrez, who was voted Premier League player of the year last season.
It has been suggested that the Gunners have spoken to Leicester about a deal and the Algerian star could also be heading to North London.


text: Does anyone know how easy it would be to make one of these? Can't seem to find one anywhere!! The only thing I can see being problematic is the connector I believe its a 8 pin style (from memory as I'm not looking at the amp right now). Any ideas?


text:
Just one word or phrase can make a huge difference. Whether you're talking with a client, negotiating a deal or focusing on the specifics of a contract, attention to detail is a must. So, why do we rely so much on the quick scan of a spreadsheet to tell the whole story?
Carriers aren't the same. Service isn't the same. And, contracts are most definitely not the same.
In the world of disability coverage, people often believe all contracts function alike when, in fact, that's rarely the case — there are always variations. And that can sometimes translate into shock at claim time, which is the worst time for a surprise.
So, in the spirit of Disability Insurance Awareness Month, I've summarized a few thoughts pertaining to the definition of disability. I chose this item because it just might be the single most important provision in a group disability contract. Therefore it's a critical consideration when evaluating the full scope of a policy. Consider these real-life scenarios.
Does the policy recognize unique pay structures? Billing out services and earning commissions are forms of compensation that are more common than you might think. If the contract requires a 20 percent loss of income to meet the definition, an actual loss of income might not be realized on paper for several months.
Tip: Some policies evaluate a claimant's "inability to earn income" versus actual loss of income. A policy with this definition recognizes the immediate impact of an employee's inability to earn an income at the moment when the disability occurs.
What if the claimant returns to work but still has an earnings loss? The impact of a disability on income can last well beyond when the disability ends because it often takes time to re-build a client base, cultivate sales and bill for services.
Tip: Look for a policy that pays a benefit as an employee re-builds their client list. This can be written within the definition of disability or as a separate benefit commonly known as Extended Earnings Protection.
Does the policy have enough flexibility to allow the claimant to return to work full-time and still be considered disabled? Disability coverage is typically structured to encourage people to go back to work as soon as possible. In some situations, an employee can go back to work but in a different role and, as such, may have to take a cut in pay.
Tip: Recommend a policy where the definition allows an employee to work full-time in a different occupation (usually for up to two years) provided they are making less money (usually earning less than 80 percent of pre-disability income). This encourages the employee to stay in the work force, and helps them maintain their standard of living.
It's virtually impossible to tell the difference between disability offerings at a carrier level unless you delve into the policy provisions just a little. So, look beyond the spreadsheet. Ask for sample contracts from carriers. Take notes. Ask questions. Be confident in what you're selling and sell the value of the contract. Price alone will never tell the whole story.

You can make one of your own choices. A homemade sandwich will be the perfect one. You can take small amount of noodle, sprouts, a medium size apple or two non-sweet biscuits. Remember soft drinks have a very high sugar in it, so if you are fond of them take the diet one.
Will my blood sugars be normal if I do not eat?
No, it won"t. This is essential to realize, stopping eating is the worst possible thing to do when your sugar is not well controlled. Remember, whatever the blood sugar is, your body needs a balanced diet otherwise you will become malnourished and weak.
What if I skip meal?
Not a good idea at all, when you skip meals your blood sugar fluctuates and that is not good for control. Particularly in the teenagers, this is common and make sure you do not do this. Remember when you eat is as important as what you eat.
My job does not allow me to eat in fixed time, what should I do?
Most of the cases, this is an excuse for not being planned. You need to know how to organize your day. Days are changing and all of us are in much more stressful life than our forefathers. Competitions are increasing day by day but we need to look after ourselves so that we are in the best physical and mental state to be successful.
Do I need to stop eating out?
Certainly not, as long as you are not planning to eat out everyday! You need to know what is the right food and correct amount. Remember Alcohol has empty calorie and also with a drink we tend to eat more.
What to eat when I am not well?
If you cannot manage to eat your normal diet you need to match them with liquids. Please see the section on Sick day rule.
Can I have ice cream? Can I take artificial sweetener?
Occasionally yes, but do not make a habit of eating ice cream regularly. There are certain ice cream available now with no added sugar, but do not forget they have calories.
Certainly yes, artificial sweeteners are safe. Do not put them in cooking, they break down when heated. So they will not be sweet any more if you boil or fry them.
Can I eat fruit?
Yes, not only can, you should eat fruit regularly. This is a very old concept that in Diabetes you cannot eat fruit. You should know what fruit and how much you should eat. You should take 3 to 5 portions of fruit every day (One portion of food is 1 medium apple or 1 guava or 1 pear or 1 orange or 1 small banana or 12-15 grapes or 1 slice of pineapple or 1 small bowl of papaya, etc); you can choose what you like. It is better to avoid dry fruits as they have very high calories.
What are the food items I should avoid?
Foods to avoid - Direct sugar, jam, honey, and chocolate as they contain refined carbohydrate and blood sugar rises very quickly. Also it is better to avoid food with high saturated fat such as cheese, butter, ghee, solid cooking oils and hard margarine.

So, let's all cross our fingers that when I show up at the place Wednesday I'll be welcomed into the open arms of my own forlorn and beloved Meghan and not some other weirdo Megan with whom I'll be forced to make awkward small talk. I have enough awkward talk in my future, I need to conserve my energy.
Ok hairs, listen up–
Below are your instructions. You should study up so you can prepare for your new life. It really isn't very different from your life now except all your grown out layers will be back in action. This is what happens when I don't take care of you for two years. Now be a good girl and continue to grow into a long long mermaid shirt for my hippy boobs.
–love, me.
It's pretty much what my hair looks like now except trimmed up and with bang layers. This bodes well. Nothing dramatic.
I tried to do this to my hair this morning >>
which was going swimmingly right up to the point when I was pinning the last piece in place.
Every single hair on my head was suddenly like BITCH NO. To whit, I am now rocking a gigantarific ombre Hermione ponytale. Yippe-kai-A motherfuckers!
So. Hurry up next Wednesday.
Also happening this weekend:
Unless I get lazy, in which case I will focus on my number one priority– super glueing my favorite shoes back together. Sure, some bloggers buy fancy sparkly new high heels for blogher! Not your ol' spacklelips here. I'm take a pair with a hole in the sole (that I fill with dope). Awww, poor poor comfortable things! Get mama through one more weekend and then I promise I'll put you to rest forever in the best shoe graveyard.
Because I have learned zero lessons about being a woman, or at least because I refuse to heed them, I'm using a new face treatment right before an event. Stupid, stupid. I know, it's like getting a spray tan the day before prom. DON'T!
But, on the brighter side is since it's Philosophy not only have there not been direly hideous consequences my face is suddenly like BAM, HOTTNESSSS.
Would I recommend? Ohyes. Good stuff. Especially if you're hovering the 30 and still experiencing the joy of breakouts.
My skin says FINALLY, thank you! and I in return say, stop looking stupid.
I can't stop listening to Girl Talk. I can't! CAN'T! I should probably be embarrassed but I can't do that either because it's just the most perfect going-to-a-party music. And I'm going to a party, give or take a few days. Constant Girl Talk soundtrack. Do not shame me.
It was one of those things like it always is where I was all, "Huh. Ew THAT? NO. Stupid. Gross..." and I turned up my snortle nose and then before you know it I can't get enough fucking Girl Talk. In case you ever wanted to know what's happening inside my head every second, it's that.
All the fears I have about blogher? It's this exactly, which is also a great read. There are all kinds of bizarre dynamics to the blog world that outsiders don't see. It happens in every community, even my own beloved twitter.
I feel a lot of pressure to have the SUPER BEST TIME EVER because I'm taking what is essentially a vacation without my family and it's so incredibly selfish. It feels like if I'm going to do it the whole thing better be FUCKING FANTASTIC beyond all reason. Which is well, unrealistic. I've been down that expectation road before and I know better. I'm focused on just relaxing and having fun because otherwise is total suicide.

Dubai municipality has dished out $762,942 worth of gold in prizes to contestants in a weight-loss challenge, an initiative by the Gulf emirate to fight obesity.
The "Your Weight in Gold" campaign promised one gram of gold for each kilogram shed, provided the contestants lost at least 4.6 pounds by Aug. 16, when the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan ended.
Ahmad al-Sheikh, a 27-year-old Syrian architect, claimed the top prize of 63 grams of gold worth $2,870 after losing 57 pounds.
Sheikh, who weighed 323 pounds at the start of the competition, was one of 2,648 winners who together received 37 pounds of gold last week.
"I actually registered 15 days later in the campaign and was worried at first, because I thought I lost a head start to all the other contestants," he told the Gulf News daily.
The second and third place winners shed 50 pounds and 49 pounds, respectively.
(REUTERS/Ahmed Jadallah)
Gulf News said that those who shed five kilos (11 pounds) and above got two grams of gold for each kilo lost, while those shedding 10 kilos (22 pounds) and above were entitled to three grams of gold for every kilo lost.
During Ramadan, the faithful refrain from eating, drinking and smoking between dawn and sunset.
But many tend to tuck in heartily after dark, despite warnings that overindulgence can be bad for the health.
Many Gulf countries are struggling to reduce the level of obesity among their populations.

Booting Problem
I have 3 drives installed 2 SATA and one IDE
First SATA has the OS(Win7 Ultimate) installed, and the others have been wiped and just used for storage now.
Checked the bootup order in BIOS and the OS drive is selected for first boot.
The problem is when i turn the PC on it beeps once then gets to the Windows 'Lights-forming-flag' screen, then the pc goes no further and restarts itself, it then gets to a black screen where i can either select :-
Start Windows Normally' or Launch Startup repair.
If select Start normally it does so with no problems and if i select startup repair it says i have to use system restore which if i select it restores it and again all is fine.
So either way does work but obviously theres got to be some kinda problem that's stopping it starting up properly.
Has anyone got any ideas please?

Hi gbu,
So, just to clarify......if you use either method, Windows then starts up fine and you can use the PC normally. However, if you shut it down, and then restart again, you have to go through the same steps again?
Is that correct?

Thanks for the fast reply
Yes that is correct, just to add that its only after a complete Shutdown, and NOT after a restart, restarting the pc is fine and loads up normally.

OK - the problems only happen when the power is tuned off.
Lets start by verifying the integrity of your system files:
1. Open an elevated command prompt by clicking Start Orb, and in the search box type cmd.
2. Right click on cmd, and choose Run as administrator
3. In the Command Prompt Window type sfc/ scannow
Let in run to completion, and then copy and paste the results back here.

Main - Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-Bit; 2nd - Windows Server 2008 R2
Have you run the drive fitness test(s) from your hard drive manufacturers?
Judging by your system specs you ought to be alright power-wise, but if you have a good spare you might try that.
See if there is an option in your bios to set HDD Delay to a couple of seconds.
What I'm driving at with all of this is that from a dead stop the drive might not be spinning up fast enough to be ready to boot when it needs to be. When you restart, it is already spinning (and the computer works fine). This could be due to a failing drive, not quite enough power from the PSU, or some other event which is leaving the HD not quite ready to go when it needs to be during a cold boot sequence.

Taxpayers will find out this year whether Congress is serious about grappling with entitlement spending, the single most important domestic policy issue facing the nation. Medicare, with 44 million enrollees, poses the most serious challenge. The program is burdened with gigantic debt: $34 trillion in unfunded liabilities--the benefits promised to current and future Medicare enrollees but not yet financed by current and future taxpayers.
A trigger in Medicare law requires the President and Congress to consider budgetary changes in the program this year. Rather than tweaking the status quo, Congress should focus on proposals that move the program toward a new system based on free-market principles.
The Trigger
Former Congressional Budget Office (CBO) staffers Joseph R. Antos and Tracy Foertsch, in an econometric analysis of the impact of the Medicare debt, concluded that honest funding of the promised Medicare benefits would require the current Medicare payroll tax to increase from today's 2.9 percent to 13.4 percent.[1]
The President has recently submitted his Medicare budget proposals to Congress, outlining $178 billion in savings over five years.[2] As they have in the past, senior congressional leaders are already dismissing these proposals as unrealistic or "dead on arrival."
Meanwhile, current Medicare law requires the President and Congress to act on Medicare spending because the Medicare Trustees have made a formal determination that the program is relying on excessive draw-downs from general revenues, meaning that outlays are not being sufficiently financed by dedicated revenues for Medicare. The Trustees are required to issue a warning when they find in two consecutive determinations that general revenue financing of the program would exceed 45 percent of total Medicare outlays within seven years. The Medicare Trustees made such a determination in their 2006 report and issued a "funding warning" in their 2007 report. The law requires the President to submit remedial legislation to Congress, and Congress must consider it or an alternative on an expedited basis. [3]
The budgetary changes needed to meet the statutory requirement that general revenues not exceed 45 percent of Medicare outlays are not in themselves particularly onerous. The issue is Medicare policy underlying the budget changes, not the budgetary adjustments themselves. Medicare is not simply about dollars and cents. Rather, the problem is the structure of the program as a centralized bureaucracy that will be unable to absorb efficiently the wants and needs of the large and diverse baby boom generation within the boundaries of fiscal responsibility.
When making budgetary changes in Medicare, Congress can choose between two broad directions: reinforcing the current structure of traditional Medicare or moving toward comprehensive Medicare reform.
Reinforcing the Current Structure
Medicare is currently a defined-benefit, open-ended entitlement program governed by central planning and price controls, with virtually every aspect of the financing and delivery of medical goods and services under the regulatory control of the Medicare bureaucracy.
It is not difficult to fashion budgetary changes to accommodate the existing structure. The traditional methods are simple: tighten up the existing system of Medicare price controls on doctors, hospitals, and other medical providers; add a new system of price controls to prescription drugs under the guise of "negotiation"; impose new standards or requirements on doctors, hospitals, or other medical providers as a condition of reimbursement (e.g., "pay for performance" schemes); reviser payment formulas to exclude payment for the delivery of care under new or unapproved circumstances; slow or restrict access to new medical technologies or medical procedures; or reduce payments to private health plans serving Medicare enrollees, which are routinely described as "overpayments" (compared to traditional Medicare's supposedly "right" administrative payment).
Of course, Medicare's administrative pricing is notoriously arbitrary and does not reflect real economic conditions of supply and demand for medical services. The normal result is overpayment for some services and underpayment for others. Nonetheless, if the policy objective is to preserve the basic structure of central planning and price regulation, then traditional methods would be effective: The Medicare bureaucracy's power would increase, and its regulatory reach would expand.
The modification of Medicare's administrative payment formulas may appear complex, but the underlying principle is simple. Without the interaction of supply and demand in a normal, functioning market, cost-control options are severely limited. Government officials cannot control the demand for medical services (or anything else, for that matter). They can only control the supply. In a centralized system like traditional Medicare, the most efficient way to control supply without appearing to cut benefits for enrollees directly is to cut the payments for those benefits. That is the main function of price controls as a cost-control mechanism. It is an undesirable policy for senior and disabled citizens enrolled in Medicare because, at the end of the day, it simply shifts costs onto them in distinctly unpleasant ways.
Reform-Based Budgeting
The alternative to reinforcing the traditional Medicare structure is to make budgetary changes that advance or are compatible with a movement toward comprehensive Medicare reform. Such reform would consist of restructuring the entire program around the free-market principles of consumer choice and competition.
Though there are a number of variations on the theme of comprehensive Medicare reform, the central component is a transition from a defined-benefit system to a defined-contribution system. Medicare would become a system of competing health plans, including plans that workers choose to bring with them into retirement. Government would continue to subsidize the health care of seniors and the disabled, but the government contribution would be specific (not open-ended) and could be adjusted for income, age, or health status. Retirees with incomes higher than 400 percent of the federal poverty level are affected much less by health care costs than lower-income retirees are. Also, 10 percent of beneficiaries--the oldest and sickest--account for more than two-thirds of Medicare expenditures.[4]
In pursuing comprehensive reform, Congress could incorporate the best features of competitive models that are already in operation. For example, the most prominent model for Medicare reform has been the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. Originally proposed by analysts at The Heritage Foundation,[5] this model has been adopted by the House Republican Study Committee (RSC) as part of its budget proposal.[6]
Congress should also closely examine the impressive work of the National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare of 1999, particularly the Breaux-Thomas "premium support" proposal. With this proposal, government and private health plans would compete on a level playing field, enrollees would get "premium support" toward the purchase of a plan of their choice, and government contributions would be income-related. The proposal would reduce the cost growth of Medicare by 1 to 1.5 percentage points per year, based on the original 1999 estimates.
Congress should also take notice of the well-performing parts of the existing Medicare program, particularly the health plan competition in Medicare Part D, the prescription drug program, and the new Medicare Advantage program. Competition works, and patients are more satisfied when they can exercise personal choice. In Medicare Part D, the projected average monthly premium has dropped by a stunning 38 percent since the inception of the program. Additional cost savings of $117 billion are projected from 2008 to 2017.[7] In Medicare Advantage, the new system of competitive private plans created under the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003, almost 20 percent of Medicare enrollees have chosen private health plans with superior benefits, including preventive care, care management programs, and prescription drug coverage.
The following budgetary options would be compatible with comprehensive Medicare reform:
Expand income-related subsidies. All Medicare subsidies should be income-related. More help should go to enrollees with lower incomes or higher health care costs. To a limited extent, Congress followed this principle with changes in Medicare Part B, requiring individual seniors with incomes of $80,000 per year or couples with annual incomes of $160,000 per year to pay higher premiums.
Under current law, the income thresholds are indexed annually, thus limiting the number of enrollees subject to the higher premiums in later years. Congress could eliminate this indexing feature for Part B and apply the same new income rules to Part D, the prescription drug program. In both Part B and Part D, the taxpayer today pays 75 percent of the costs of benefits. It is not unreasonable for wealthy seniors to pay slightly more. President Bush submitted these proposals, which would have saved $10.3 billion over a five year period, last year.[8]
Raise enrollees' share of the Part B premium from 25 percent to 30 percent. When Medicare was enacted in 1965, the law provided that taxpayers would pay 50 percent of Part B premiums for physicians and outpatient medical services. This was based on the Great Society understanding of the social contract. In the 1960s, the senior population was comparatively less well-off financially than it is today. Congress eroded this mutual obligation over time and in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 permanently limited the seniors' share of the Part B premium to 25 percent of the total premium.
Ideally, Congress should restore the original arrangement of a direct 50-50 split in Medicare Part B premium payments; in the short term, Congress should at least raise the basic premium from 25 percent to 30 percent. This change would not negatively affect the poorest seniors--roughly 7 million enrollees--because Medicaid pays their Medicare premiums under current law. According to the CBO, raising the basic Part B premium from 25 percent to 30 percent of total premium costs would save $6.8 billion this year and $42.2 billion over five years.[9]
Restructure traditional Medicare cost-sharing for Part A, Part B, and Medigap. Medicare has a variety of cost-sharing requirements for benefits under Parts A and B.
In 2007, under Part A (the part of Medicare that pays hospital bills), the basic deductible was $992, and there was a schedule of cost-sharing, depending on the length of the hospital stay. The daily amount of Medicare hospital coinsurance rises with the length of hospital stay, going from no coinsurance at all for the first 60 days to as much as $496 per day after 91 days. Instead of the traditional protection from progressively rising out-of-pocket costs that one normally finds with private health insurance, Medicare Part A schedules the reverse: The sicker one is, the higher one's out-of-pocket payment. Traditional Medicare, of course, has no catastrophic benefit, which is why the vast majority of its beneficiaries must purchase or secure supplemental coverage.
Home health care is also covered under Medicare Part A, but the home health benefit has no coinsurance and unlimited home health care visits. With Part B (the part of Medicare that pays physicians' services and outpatient benefits), the basic deductible is $131, and the coinsurance requirement for most medical services, treatments, or procedures is 20 percent. The exception is outpatient mental health benefits, which have a hefty 50 percent coinsurance requirement.
Meanwhile, Medigap supplemental insurance is used not only to supply the necessary catastrophic coverage, but also to cover the costs of deductibles and coinsurance in traditional Medicare.
One way to improve this situation is to abolish this complex set of cost-sharing requirements for traditional Medicare and replace it with a uniform deductible for both Part A and Part B, a standardized coinsurance rate, and an annual cap on out-of-pocket costs. In one scenario, cost-sharing for Part A and Part B would be replaced with a combined deductible of $500 and a cap on out-of-pocket expenses of $5,000, indexed to Medicare's per capita costs. According to the CBO, this proposal would reduce costs by $11.6 billion over five years.[10]
In a variant of this proposal, the Republican Study Committee offered a budget proposal in 2006 that would have provided a uniform deductible of $500, a standardized coinsurance requirement of 20 percent, and an annual cap on out-of-pocket expenses for each beneficiary at $2,500. The RSC proposal would also have prohibited any Medigap policy from covering the standard $500 deductible while permitting Medigap policies to cover 50 percent of the Medicare beneficiary's total coinsurance payments.
In another variant of this proposal, Medigap policies would be prohibited from paying the first $500 of a Medicare beneficiary's cost-sharing in the first year (2008) and half of any additional cost-sharing up to $4,500. Medigap would cover Medicare cost-sharing above that amount. According to the CBO, the proposal would save $1.9 billion in 2008 and $14.4 billion over five years.[11]
Establish a co-payment for home health benefits. Home health benefits are broadly used, and Medicare alone accounts for 38 percent of all home health care spending in the country.[12] As noted, there are no limits on home health visits, and there is no coinsurance requirement.
With the rapid growth of the Medicare population over the next several years, beneficiaries' use of home health benefits will grow. Since there is no cost-sharing requirement for these services, the best option for Congress would be to establish some sort of co-payment. For every episode of home health care usage--60 days--Congress could impose a co-payment of 10 percent of the costs of the benefit. According to the CBO, this would reduce Medicare spending by $12.9 billion over five years.[13]
The President has submitted a series of budget proposals to cope with the immediate and long-term problems confronting Medicare, but congressional leaders have dismissed the President's proposals out of hand. They have yet to offer anything substantive to cope with the enormous challenge of entitlements, notably the $34 trillion Medicare problem. In any case, the law requires the President and Congress to act this year on Medicare spending.
Some Members of Congress will doubtless attempt to offer serious proposals to cope with the long-term challenges facing Medicare, as well as to fulfill the immediate requirements of the Medicare funding warning. Members should make proposals that are logically compatible with real reform: the transformation of Medicare into a system that is governed by consumer choice, competition, personal freedom, and a plentitude of health care options. They should avoid making budgetary changes that only entrench the status quo and enhance the power of the Medicare bureaucracy.
The budget cycle of 2008 will be another test of congressional seriousness in the face of America's top domestic challenge: entitlement spending.

When you find a class like that, it's only natural to want to keep the magic going. Actors sometimes decide to take the play they've been exploring in their scene study class, secure a theater, and put the whole thing up for an audience. Usually those plans fall apart pretty quickly. A week after the last class meeting, everyone has moved on to the next endeavor. But Back Stage found actors who didn't lose the momentum—who managed to collaborate with fellow students to create fully realized productions. These performers generously shared with us exactly how they managed to get the job done.
Familiarity breeds content
In her 20s, Liz Rebert tried putting together stage productions in collaboration with friends and acquaintances in New York City. "It was such a struggle," she recalls. "The only people you can invite to fundraisers are your other friends who have no money." Unsurprisingly, the groups disbanded in short order. Recently, however, Rebert—now living in California—had a more fruitful experience with peers, in a group led by playwright-director-actor-teacher Paul Kampf. Rebert and her classmates appeared in an hourlong film he wrote and directed, called "From Grace."
When Rebert came to Kampf's class, she was on the verge of putting a halt to her then less-than-robust acting career: "I thought, 'This will be my barometer. If I take this class and I'm not excited or into it, I'll know I'm not meant to be an actor anymore.' The first class wasn't even over before it became apparent that this was not something I could walk away from."
About a year into their association, Kampf told the students he had written a screenplay for them and that they would make the film together. Rebert says she and the others were doubtful. "I didn't want to be overly negative," she says, "but I didn't want to get my hopes up."
Kampf understood their skepticism. "They'd all heard this before," he says. "They'd been in the business long enough to have heard it." But years before, Kampf had been through the process of fulfilling theatrical dreams with his own classmates. After grad school in Illinois in 1993, he banded together with them to create Breadline Productions. The company produced dozens of world premieres, eventually leasing a theater facility in Chicago that helped make the whole enterprise self-sustaining.
A couple of years ago, Kampf and his wife made the move to Los Angeles, taking Breadline with them. He had moved into filmmaking, creating a film—starring Patrick Wilson, John Heard, and Neal McDonough—based on his play "American Gothic." That experience gave Kampf credibility and clout, and helped him gain funding and other support for "From Grace." Rebert says she waited for the day when she would be asked to make her own financial contribution to the film (something she would have been willing to do), but that pitch never came.
For Kampf, writing roles with particular actors in mind proved enriching. "You get to know the ligaments of every actor's talent," he says. "Some of the most successful things were the things that were developed with an eye for who would play the role."
Similarly, Rebert found that knowing her co-workers' talents and work habits so thoroughly made acting in the film seem almost "like cheating." "You already trust your scene partner. You know you can take a risk, and if you fall on your face, it's okay," she says. "It was the most rewarding artistic experience of my life thus far. I at one point referred to it as 'the Christmas morning of my career.' "
Since the film's completion, Kampf has made other, shorter films with different sets of students. The distribution prospects for "For Grace" are uncertain, but a companion piece—a documentary about the film's creation—is being readied. Kampf hopes to find a home for the paired films on television. Rebert lately appeared in another Kampf project, this time opposite him onstage in "11, September," which ran in L.A. earlier this winter. But she emphasizes that Kampf is not interested in having students work solely with him. "He wants you to come to class, get out of it what you can, and go off into the world," she says.
Of like minds
Sometimes it's up to a student—not the instructor—to take the lead in making a project happen. Two years ago, at a workshop taught by Larry Moss, Los Angeles–based actor Claudia Mason watched a scene from Tennessee Williams' "Orpheus Descending." Mason knew immediately that the role of Carol Cutrere was one she needed to play. Last year she was lucky enough to be cast in a small-scale, dinner-theater version of "Orpheus." Financing for that production fell apart during rehearsals. So Mason took matters into her own hands.
First she and another actor from the scuttled show presented scenes from "Orpheus" for a showcase. Mason turned to film director and screenwriter Louis Pepe ("Brothers of the Head") to lend an eye during rehearsals. Mason and Pepe had attended workshops taught by Kim Gillingham, an instructor who combines a traditional Actors Studio approach with Viewpoints techniques and heavy emphasis on Jungian psychoanalysis. Later, a collective grew out of Gillingham's workshops, a group that assembled regularly for further explorations. There Mason and Gillingham got to know each other.
Pepe explains the Gillingham approach: "It's understanding the connection between dream logic and archetypes and myths, and using one's own personal dream logic to tap into the dream and myth logic of the larger work." Adds Mason, "You go, 'Oh, my God—the part that I'm working on now? The orange and the cat in [that] dream are exactly what I needed to know about the role I'm playing.' "
Though Pepe had not directed theater previously, Mason felt an affinity with him based on their work together in the collective. So when she decided to mount a full production of "Orpheus Descending" for early 2010, she asked him to join the team. Likewise, she found the production's leading man, Gale Harold (Showtime's "Queer as Folk"), through Gillingham; Harold had worked with Gillingham but was not part of the collective.
Although they of course wanted paying audiences for the 24-performance run, Mason and Pepe were more focused on the artistic than the commercial potential of the production. Pepe recalls scouting with Mason for possible venues and meeting with a rep from a local theater:
"I remember sitting there talking to that guy. And he kind of gave us this attitude of, 'Well, you've never directed a play. And I've never seen you, Claudia, on stage. How do I know that you're the best gal for the role, and how do I know you're the best guy to direct it?' And blah blah blah. And I thought, 'This is exactly the attitude that doesn't belong in what we're doing.' "
The duo assembled the cast without holding formal auditions. For the leading role of Lady, Mason brought in Denise Crosby, whom she knew from Larry Moss workshops. Other performers were suggested by Pepe and by managing producer Ginger Perkins.
Because Mason—in her role as executive producer—was holding the purse strings on "Orpheus," she could set the tenor for the production. She struck a tone that echoed that of the Gillingham workshops. (Gillingham did not collaborate on the show but donated rehearsal space.) Clearly, the production's 11 actors—each was paid a few dollars per week under an Equity waiver arrangement—approached it in a spirit of creative exploration. Some were stirred by the challenge of playing multiple roles.
Mason contends it's telling that not a single actor in the large cast abandoned the team to pursue a more lucrative opportunity. Having artists that shared her values helped insure a smooth run. "What's great about classes and workshops and collectives is that you usually are with like-minded people," she says. Approaching such classmates to be collaborators, she suggests, makes perfect sense.
Come Monday
A strong leader—whether a teacher like Kampf or a student like Mason—can help a collaboration among classmate artists stay on track. As Rebert puts it, "If there's one go-to person that everybody can sort of trust and surrender to, things are going to flow a little bit more easily than when people go in different directions."
On the other hand, the idea of surrender doesn't always sit well. An ensemble without a single designated leader certainly faces serious challenges, but such a model isn't necessarily impossible. Take the case of the Collective, a New York–based company formed by graduates of a two-year program at the William Esper Studio.
Robert Z. Grant and Kevin Kane, two of the Collective's founding members, unabashedly describe their ensemble as adhering to "socialist" ideals. The company, they explain, was patterned in part after the Group Theatre, formed in New York in 1931 by Harold Clurman, Cheryl Crawford, and Lee Strasberg.
Kane says he and his fellow students were told by Esper faculty how lucky they were to be part of such a consistently strong class. "So we figured out a way to keep the fire going," he says. "We started with the idea of meeting and reading a play every week. It kind of started blossoming from there. Two or three of us got together and said, 'Well, who else do we want?' " Their first public performance was a fall 2007 production of Eugène Ionesco's "The Lesson," in which Grant took the lead. Since then, the group has narrowed its focus mostly to producing new work.
The centerpiece of the Collective's identity is the regular Monday-night meeting. Faithfully, members assemble each week in a New York theater space to present work and offer feedback. The Monday meetings provide them with a chance for career networking, but mostly these are process-oriented work sessions, offering
creative sanctuary to actors wearied by the daily pursuit of commercial gigs. "I find I work more on Monday nights than I do anyplace else," says Grant.
Collective member Quincy Beard adds that New York performers frequently find themselves subject to the whims of casting directors and agents. Artists in the Collective "have a lot of pride about the craftsmanship of the acting," she says, "because that's something we can control."
As the company expanded, it incorporated writers, directors, and non-Esper-trained actors. The group celebrates work that members do outside the Collective—as long as they come back and share what they have learned. The goal is for each of the Collective's public presentations to sustain itself through box office revenue. The group has also held fundraising events, including Collective Comedy nights, which feature sketches starring ensemble members as well as standup sets by the likes of Jim Norton, Judah Friedlander, and the Collective's own Amy Schumer.
In lieu of an artistic director, the Collective is governed by nine founding members and a five-member board of directors. Grant acknowledges that there was "a big tug of war" in the group's early history, but eventually the members sat down to draft a mission statement and clarify their goals.
Disagreement is, of course, impossible to sidestep entirely, however an organization is structured. The Group Theatre dissolved in part because of friction among its members. But the Collective's members keep any quarrelsome impulses in check by reminding one another that they are together to celebrate the process of acting. Says Kane, "I've been able to put myself around people who, if I was not working with them, I would pay to see—and would do anything I could to work with. And I get to do that every week. When you believe in the process of the person next to you, that [makes for] a strong ensemble."

What exactly constitutes a "millennial" is an endless point of discussion in this office. We're not talking the anthropological definition — that barrel's been scraped by every culture site in town (millennials like selfies, millennials like lists, yadda yadda). Our conversation is more technical, and technically, we of the Generation Y crew are millennials. However, I like to think of Generation Y as split into two groups: the Facebook Wave, and the Instagram Wave.
According to the very scientific me, the Facebook Wave is anyone who is currently 23 – 35. We actually remember typing in www.THEfacebook.com and are scared of iPhone software updates. The Instagram Wave begins with whoever's just been given their first smartphone and caps off at age 22 — they're who I consider "millennials," which you can feel free to disagree with in the comments because I'm admittedly an old curmudgeon who tries to throw my own friends off my lawn.
I'd even go so far as to predict that within or below that younger group, more and more micro-generations will be created. For all I know there is a sub-genre of kids age 7 and under who are responsible for programming all of the apps I'm no longer cool enough to know about.
Regardless of where the lines are drawn, it's always worth peeking into the minds of those who are younger — if not because they practically speak a different language, then definitely because they can teach you a new dance move. With that, meet Franny Keller, our intern/back to school specialist.
Name: Franny
Age: 16, entering 11th grade
1) Shopping: do you prefer online or in store?
It's pretty equal. I do both, but I always have a shopping cart going on online.
2) Is twerking allowed at school dances?
Oh yes. Twerk-offs are a thing.
3) Do people actually twerk?
Very few can but they do NOT hesitate to try.
4) What's the next dance move we need to know about?
"The Corn Shuck" — it's a great way to look cool or deter creepy guys at parties!
5) What are the kids listening to?
Sam Smith is incredible. Also, my friends and I love the app Hype Machine; it has really cool songs and remixes.
5a) On a scale from 1-10 how annoying is it when young adults, only ten years your senior, reference your "generation" as "the kids"?
6) Your turn for payback since I just called you "kid." What age seems "old" to you?
7) Weirdest vocab word you think is trending?
"Sus." It means shady or suspicious. Can be used to describe a person, place, or party.
8) Social media network of choice?
Probably Instagram or Snapchat. I Snapchat too often…
9) Who's your icon?
I've been watching a lot of Winona Ryder movies lately. She really inspires me as an actress and I think she's stunning.
10) Do you wear makeup? What kind?
I like to keep it looking natural: I use under eye concealer, mascara, a little bronzer, sometimes some neutral colored eyeshadows and I put my bronzer in my crease to bring it all together. I always have to tame my crazy eyebrows.
11) You know how we're all freaky-nostalgic about the 80s and 90s? What do you think you'll be nostalgic about?
Probably Lizzie McGuire and Hannah Montana. So early 2000s.
12) Trend you've seen everyone your age wearing?
Chokers, all the teens are wearing them.
13) Thoughts on the word "Millennial"?
It's all about multi-tasking. I Snapchat, do my homework, and and eat my dinner at the same time. That's millennial for ya.

text: I had planned a super bowl cook since preseason and never would of thought i would have to battle gusts of wind up to 30 mph and 3 inches of snow that day but when you get the smoke in your blood there's nothing that mother nature has that can stop the sound of wood burning and the flavor smoke in your meat. i originally planned on pulled pork but as the days counted down i settled for ribs and wings. I bought some spare ribs from the local store and trimmed them down to St.Louies and decided to smoke the rib tips as well. I also picked up a 4 lbs bag of wing sections as well. I used a char grill-er smoking pro with the only mod i have is flipping the main chamber charcoal basket upside down as my baffle. I use the 3-2-1 method on ribs but i go by color on the ribs. I dont wrap till i get the right color, then keep em wrapped anywhere from 1-2 hours depending till i get that right twist in my meat from the bone, not to tender but not to stiff. then go for about another 30 - 45 for the sauce to set. These are at around the 1 hour mark right after the first spritz. And there is the finished product. Had to show off the beautiful smoke ring as well I didnt take any of the wings cooking because the sun went down and my cam dont take the best pics at night but i got a few finished pics of the wings. A Jerk sauce was excellent choice for these wings. Not a bad cook for a cold windy snowy day. Well hope you guys like and hope to hear feed back!!!

Nice work here by Baumbach tracking down the Ted Kazanski, who until Wednesday was the most recent major leaguer to hit an inside-the-park homer and start a triple play in the same game.
A secondary character in the story is Saul Rogovin, a teammate of Kazanski and one of the best Jewish pitchers ever to come out of Brooklyn - although somewhat behind Sandy Koufax on that list.
In the late 1980s I did a story about Rogovin when he was teaching at Eastern District High in Brooklyn and mentoring a star pitcher at the school named Frankie Rodriguez.
Rodriguez was drafted in the second round by the Red Sox in 1990 and spent parts of seven seasons in the majors.
I can twist pretty much any sports story into a tangential, personal remembrance of some kind. It's a gift.

New Book: TV's Top Anchors Slip Up, Fall Down
Mar 05, 2013, 09:00 ET from Television Newswriting Workshop
NEW YORK, March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Every night, about 24 million Americans trust their favorite anchors to present the news. But what if viewers found out that many scripts read by anchors are wrong: words misused, grammar confused, facts abused?
A new book, Weighing Anchors: When Network Newscasters Can't Tell Write From Wrong, points out many deceptions, distortions and delinquencies.
The author, Mervin Block, wrote for Walter Cronkite at CBS and for Frank Reynolds at ABC; he also wrote at NBC. An adjunct at Columbia University's journalism school, he taught broadcast news writing for 30 years. He has written four books about how to write news for broadcast.
In his new book, Block (mervinblock.com) discloses case after case where anchors have made mistakes—and worse. Block doesn't swing a hatchet but wields an editor's red pen with care. And flair.
Chapters include "The Overnight Life of Brian"; "Write This Way, Please"; "When Exclusive News is Not Exclusive—and Not Even News," and "Alas, Poor Couric."
The anchors all have their strengths. But to borrow from the Book of Daniel--and the Book of Block--the anchors have been weighed and found wanting.
The media critic of TimeOutChicago, Robert Feder, says:
"When network anchors murder the language—which they do night after night—-thank goodness there's Merv Block to perform the autopsy. No one has a better ear or sharper pencil than Merv Block. He's a one-man quality control department for the broadcast news business. His wise and witty dissections of TV's highest-paid poobahs and their verbal blunders are both hilarious and appalling. After reading his collection of spot-on critiques, you'll never watch TV news the same way again."
A broadcast consultant, Valerie Geller, says:
"For anyone interested in TV news, Weighing Anchors is a great read. In his unique and entertaining style, Mervin Block not-so-gently points out broadcasting's high crimes and misdemeanors--from the spectacular to the mundane, offering example after example of what NOT to do to keep your credibility in TV news. This is a fun and delightful book from the very best teacher of the craft of news writing in America."
And a NewsBlues columnist, Mona Scott, says,
"It's a compelling read, especially if you put network anchors like Diane Sawyer, Brian Williams and Scott Pelley, plus CNN's Anderson Cooper, on pedestals."

text: I understand the points about Kristi's background benefitting her skating, However, I believe that it is her talent that MAKES her such a terrific skater. She certainly wouldn't use that ballroom and latin dancing in her skating. She's not a dancer, she's a skater while the one girl is a Broadway performer and should also have an advantage. Kristi is also a perfectionist. There's a difference in my mind between a person who is super hard working and talented with some dance type background vs. those like Mel B who didn't have the time to practice and still performed well. jmo and yes I really like Kristi, but I don't think she crosses the line. These dances are knew to some degree. All the women probably had some type of dance training. Let's not forget that Kristi is not an ice DANCER, she is an athelete that moves to music, I'd say that it would be equivalent to a gold metal winning gymnast. They use music, but that's just window dressing for the athetic stuff. Admittedly the fact that I like Kristi does make me want to give her the benefit of the doubt and believe what she says about this being new to her.

Argentine striker Dario Cvitanich scored his seventh goal this season with a penalty after Bordeaux defender Lucas Orban had fouled Alexy Bosetti in the 77th minute.

Possibly. It depends on how much was taken and by whom and from whom and how. It also depends on where the case is being heard (state or federal systems)
The best thing to do at this point is to make an appointment with a good Criminal Defense lawyer and discuss these issues. He or she will have a better picture of what may happen.
Good Luck.

Casey Stoner certainly didn't look like a man coasting towards retirement as he took a hard-fought win in the US Motorcycle Grand Prix at Laguna Seca in Monterey, California, ahead of Yamaha factory rider Jorge Lorenzo and his works Honda team mate Dani Pedrosa, reaping the benefits of gambling on a soft rear tyre.
Lorenzo who took the hole shot into the tricky Turn 1 with Pedrosa and Stoner in tow. Stoner was the only one of the front-runners to have started on the softer option rear tyre, with the two Spaniards opting for the harder specification.
Stoner found his pace on lap two and moved past Pedrosa to begin chasing down Lorenzo at the front, while local hero Ben Spies on the second factory Yamaha headed up a battle for fourth that included the satellite. Yamaha Tech 3 duo of Andrea Dovizioso and Cal Crutchlow, as well as Stefan Bradl's privateer Honda.
By lap 11 Crutchlow was all over Dovizioso like a rash, as the pair continued their season-long duel, and Lorenzo was continuously having to fend off Stoner, who was all looking for a way past, while Pedrosa seemed content to hold a watching brief on third. Ducati's Nicky Hayden was finding his stride in eighth, as he and team mate team mate Valentino Rossi made up ground on the leading pack.
At the end of lap 12 Pedrosa had a huge wobble going into the final corner; he saved it but it cost him more than a second. With 14 laps to go Lorenzo had a moment going into the corkscrew, as Stoner looked to be chipping away at his lead once more.
By lap 22 Stoner had caught up to Lorenzo and put in a move going into Turn 1, just as he did in 2011, to take the lead. That wasn't a good lap for Yamaha, as Spies crashed out of the race under power out of the Corkscrew, due to a technical fault with his swing-arm.
Stoner and Lorenzo were in a league at their own at the front, and with nine laps left were already starting to lap some of the back markers. On the same lap Dovizioso fought his way back past Crutchlow, as the pair continued their duel for fourth, while Hayden caught and passed Bradl, and set off after Crutchlow.
With three laps to go Stoner was showing no signs of slowing down, as he held off Lorenzo, staying just about a second ahead, with Pedrosa a further three seconds adrift.
There was drama on the second last lap when Rossi took a huge tumble going into the Corkscrew, for his first DNF of the season. Fortunately he was unhurt, but he'll head into the summer break with further doubts about the Ducati's competitiveness.
In the end it was Stoner's gamble on the soft tyre that paid off as he came home more than three seconds ahead of Lorenzo and Pedrosa. Lorenzo still leads the championship by 23 points from Pedrosa and 32 from Stoner.
Stoner said after the race that tyre management in the early laps was key to his ability run hard in the closing stages, while Lorenzo expressed surprise at the longevity of the soft tyre, admitting that the harder option may have been the wrong choice.

The Club for Growth, a Washington-based political action committee that promotes fiscal conservatism, has endorsed U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, R-Athens.
"In his short time in Congress, Paul Broun has proven himself to be a valuable member of the Republican Caucus and the Republican Study Committee," Club for Growth President Pat Toomey said in a news release. "He has stood steadfast against wasteful government spending and big-government initiatives even if it meant voting against his party."
The group gave Broun a 100 percent score for refusing earmarks and voting against pork projects.
Broun is running for re-election against state Rep. Barry Fleming, R-Harlem, and Democrat Bobby Saxon.

Man shot three times on Niagara Street downtown
A 21-year-old Buffalo man was listed in stable condition Monday in Erie County Medical Center after he was shot three times in the thigh and back Sunday night on Niagara Street downtown.
Leewayne Rowe, who lives on Jones Street in the Clinton-Fillmore area, was shot twice in the upper thigh and once in the back by an unknown attacker who wore a black face mask and wielded a silver handgun, Central District police said. The victim also was robbed of an unspecified amount of money during the attack at about 8:40 p.m.
Following the shooting, on Niagara between West Huron and Carolina streets, Rowe tried to go to a friend's house and was found by officers on Prospect Avenue, near Carolina Street. Police said they recovered a substantial amount of physical evidence.
