TGSC Original Recommendations [progress updates]
Littleton, Massachusetts' Board of Selectmen (BOS) established the Town Government Study Committee (TGSC) in April 2006 for the purpose of evaluating the effectiveness of the Town's organizational structure and management systems and to report to the Selectmen with recommendations for further study and/or change. Specifically the TGSC was charged by the BOS to: Study the town's organizational structure; Review the efficacy of the current structure; Evaluate the duties & functions of individuals, boards and committees; Examine models of government in comparable area towns; Study management systems/major function areas: financial, budgeting, personnel & procurement, public safety, public works, health, planning; and Prepare a final report of findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
The Committee drew the following primary conclusions from the data collected during the course of their study: Sub-optimal town leadership has resulted in inefficient internal operations, and the erosion of public trust and confidence in Town Government; Strong, committed and loyal town employees and volunteers have helped "make up" for this situation; Leadership issues appear to stem from systemic and/or process-related inefficiencies; Town needs to implement changes to ensure effective management systems and processes irrespective of individuals in the roles; and Fewer interested candidates for, and increasing complexities associated with, the Tax Collector and Treasurer positions have resulted in unopposed elections for these positions for more than a decade.
In order to alleviate the issues it observed during its 14 month study, the Committee made the following recommendations:
1: Make the following currently-elected positions appointed: Treasurer, Tax Collector [Status: Questions 11 and 12 passed by 5/12/07 Annual Town Election voters, making Treasurer and Tax Collector appointed. Collector appointed 4/28/08; Treasurer appointed on 7/28/08.]
2a: Strengthen the Town Administrator (TA) position by implementing the following changes: The following positions would report directly to the TA: Highway Department Operations Manager, and Building Commissioner; and, if such positions are established, Assistant Town Administrator for Finance and Budget [AAFB], IT Director, Facilities Manager, and Human Resource Coordinator. The TA should be charged with ensuring that the performance review process is completed according to town policies. The TA would have a supervisory role with town house administrative personnel that are appointed by Boards, Committees, or Commissions (e.g. town planner, board of health executive assistant, conservation agent, assessor's office staff, etc.). This would allow the TA to have input into performance reviews of these staff as well as coordinate facility hours, vacation coverage, etc. This role is intended to augment, not supercede the authority of the hiring board. [Status: Town Administrator by-law passed by 5/5/07 ATM; approved by the Attorney General under MGL C.40,§32, on 3/17/08. TA by-law amendments passed by 5/4/09 ATM; approved by the AG on 11/5/09. Town Administrator and Personnel Board adopted performance appraisal system. TA by-law amended to add as TA appointments: LCTV Executive Director (2012) and Director of Elder & Human Services subject to Council on Aging approval per MOA (2013). TA by-law amended (2016) to split AAFB duties between two positions: an Assistant Town Administrator (ATA) and a Director of Finance & Budget (DFB)]
2b: Create a Department of Finance, to be managed by a newly created position of Assistant Town Administrator for Finance and Budget. Either the accountant or the treasurer may staff this position (simultaneously with their other role). The following positions would report to this newly created role: treasurer or accountant (whichever function is not serving in the Assistant Town Administrator role), tax collector, chief assessor, and treasurer. The Assistant Town Administrator for Finance and Budget (AAFB) would have responsibility for coordinating and driving the budgeting process through interfacing with the Town Administrator; Board of Selectmen; the Finance Committee; and the town's department heads, boards, and committees. [Status: Question 10 passed by 5/12/07 Election voters, authorizing consolidated finance department. Department of Finance & Budget by-law passed by 5/5/07 ATM approved by the Attorney General under MGL C.40,§32, on 3/17/08. Town Accountant was designated as AAFB by the Board of Selectmen on 7/9/07. Nov. 2016 by-law amendment changed all references to "Assistant Town Administrator for Finance and Budget" (AAFB) to "Director of Finance and Budget" (DFB).]
3: The Board of Selectmen, the Finance Committee, and the Town Administrator should participate in appropriate leadership training. Once current members have participated, all newly elected or appointed persons should be required to participate in such training.
4: Appoint a town-wide IT Coordinator for the IT function at and between the light and water departments, schools, town house, police, fire, etc.). This position would report directly to the Town Administrator
5: Establish a central facilities management function to manage the town's physical plant (including schools, town house, police, fire, etc.). This position would report directly to the Town Administrator.[Status: Selectmen tasked Permanent Municipal Building Committee to undertake joint municipal-school facility assessment study with funding from 11/14/12 STM and 5/2/11 ATM]
6: Develop policies to ensure regular communications between boards, departments, employees and citizens. Such policies could consist of (but not necessarily be limited to) establishing the following regularly-scheduled meetings (frequency to be determined): Meetings attended by all town boards, committees, and/or commissions (posted, open, public meeting); Meetings of those department heads reporting to the Assistant TA for Finance and Budget; Meetings of those department heads reporting to the TA; Meetings of TA and other functional, non-TA reporting departments; "All hands" meetings for all town-employed staff. [Status: Town Administrator instituted monthly department head meetings regularly scheduled for the first Tuesday at 1:30 pm.]
7: All town boards that deal with properties and permitting should have access to, and utilize the same software for tracking property specific data (lot size, building parameters, actual number of bedrooms, permitted bedrooms, deed restrictions relative to septic permit, etc.).
8: In order to provide better service to the public, the town should provide a systematic checklist/flowchart of permits required for various activities. The Town Planner/Permit Coordinator should be the "first stop" for permit-related inquiries, and should assist people in better understanding the full permitting process and guiding their efforts. [Status: State's Interagency Permitting Board voted 12/13/07 to fund Town's grant application to implement expedited permitting. MAPC consultant hired 1/7/08 to work with local regulatory boards and departments winter/spring 2008. Board of Selectmen voted 2/26/08 to designate Town Planner/Permit Coordinator as the single municipal point of contact for streamlined permitting under MGL C.43D.]
9: Establish an HR [human resources] coordination function (by assigning this role to an existing manager) to provide consistency in pay, benefits and personnel management. This responsibility would report to the TA, and sit on and work closely with the town's Personnel Committee. [Status: HR function assigned to Finance Department - Assistant Treasurer and HR Administration]
10: Reconfigure the layout of the Town Hall to enable more effective interaction among similar departments (finance, permitting, etc.), and to improve service to the public. [Status: Funding approved by 11/5/07 Special Town Meeting for reconfiguration of second and third floors of Town Hall for finance and regulatory offices, respectively, while freeing up additional space for Council on Aging. Project completed 2008.]
11: Improve town website function by: Mandating that all Boards submit final minutes for posting on the town's website within one week of finalization; Mandating that the centralized calendar on the town's website be updated with posted meeting dates, etc.; Assigning to one person the responsibility for uploading web update information provided by Boards, etc.; Ensure that the uploading/updating is completed on a timely basis. [Status: New web site launched in November 2007. Common Caucus Massachusetts presented E-Government Awards on 3/18/08 and 3/19/09. Training provided for Town staff.]

13: Evaluate the potential benefits of consistent (i.e. strong or weak) police and fire department structure and reporting relationship. [Status: "strong police chief" article passed by 5/5/07 Annual Town Meeting]
14: Develop and provide to incoming board/commission/committee members and new town employees an operational guide for their role in town government.

Interesting news about Sarah Palin's Going Rogue: 700,000 sales in the first week. That's a nice, big number, though part of me thinks: Only 700,000? Does that count all the copies that Andrew Sullivan is stacking under his bed, like that nut cutlet Mel Gibson plays in Conspiracy Theory does with Catcher in the Rye? (Maybe: HarperCollins is upping the first run to 2.5 million.)
But here's the sentence in the Associated Press report that has to be gratifying to Palin:
Few nonfiction books have debuted so well. In 2004, Bill Clinton's "My Life" sold more than 900,000 copies in its first week.
It's not the number, it's who she gets compared to. Yeah, she got outsold by a president of the United States, but the yardstick of comparison is … a president of the United States. There's a fact that must send an unpleasant jolt of juice through the reptilian brain of the Democratic-media complex.

It may seem like an unlikely match, but in fact, horses and vineyards make as rich and satisfying a pairing as champagne and caviar.
Equestrians and wine enthusiasts often overlap, not only because of the vast amount of green pastures both ventures require, but also because a passion for horses and a passion for wine tend to require similar qualities in a person. Equestrians and vintners devote a great deal of their time, their energy, and their income to cultivating and tending to horses or grapes. Dealing with living things is different from investing in other types of hobbies or ventures; caring for horses, and caring for grapes both require an equestrian or vintner to be constantly present and attentive to the health, needs, and tendencies of their beloved collections of living assets.
Whether you already own horses, are thinking about investing in a horse, or even if you're just a wine fiend whose looking to learn more about the equestrian way of life, a visit to a vineyard that also raises horses can offer a unique experience and a great deal of insight into what goes into horse-rearing. Vintners and equestrians are combining forces all over the country, so no matter where you live, you're sure to be able to find something to quench your thirst for both passions.
In the South:
When longtime polo player, David King, and his wife, Ellen went looking to buy land in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains outside of Charlottesville, Virginia, they had no intention of making or selling wine. In fact, David's main criteria was that there be enough flat land for him to be able to put in a polo field. Fast forward ten years, and the King Family Vineyard is now a thriving winery, which hosts polo matches every week of the season beginning on Memorial Day.[1] Spending a weekend at King's Family Vineyard allows one to indulge in wine made almost completely of grapes from the surrounding vineyard in their tasting room, as well as polo matches on the outdoor pitch simultaneously. If you prefer one hobby to the other, you might be surprised about how much you can expand your knowledge, and may even go home with an itch to attend polo matches throughout the state, or to sample a wider array of wines.
On the East Coast:
Roger Entenmann purchased a potato farm in Riverhead, New York in 1978, planning to use it to raise thoroughbred horses. After almost twenty years of raising horses, Roger decided to try raising grapes as well, and devoted 18 acres of his property to a vineyard. Since then, Martha Clara Vineyards, named for his mother, Martha, has grown to over 100 acres, and offers a wide variety of wines. His vineyard can offer an interesting look into how a passion for and expertise in raising horses can lend itself to adapting land into a winery. [2]
On the West Coast:
Across the country in the legendary Napa Valley, Barry Waitte has successfully escaped big city life by owning and operating Tamber Bey Vineyards. Waitte named his winery after his prized Arabian horses, and the vineyard includes a fully functional ranch, an equestrian training facility, and a 16-stall barn. Tamber Bey allows visitors to bask in the presence of prize winning horses, while sipping on Napa Valley's famous vintages, and offers a chance for horse and wine lovers alike to learn more about their passions.[3]
A few hours south of Napa, in the horse-rich area Temecula Valley, you'll find the Broderson raising and rescuing Belgian Draft horses, and family Longshadow Ranch of rescues and raises draft horses on their hillside vineyard. Draft horses, or work horses, are bred to do farming tasks such a plowing or pulling heavy loads.[4] At Longshadow, you'll find the large horses working the vineyard land, posing for photos and accepting carrots from visitors, and pulling carriages throughout the grounds for vineyard tours. Visiting the Longshadow Ranch offers a look at the process of raising work horses, as well as another kind of intersection between vineyards and horse farms.
Whether for an event, a lifestyle, or a way of making a living, horse farms and vineyards regularly intersect in a variety of ways. One significant commonality between horses and wine is that they are both extremely valuable financial assets that are often overlooked in financial planning. As you are enjoying a new grape or patting a soft equine nose, reflect on the investments you have made in your passions, and the steps you have taken to ensure their future. Then get back to enjoying your wine and carriage ride!

* ECB's Weidmann hinted earlier of negative rates, QE
* Aussie trades near 4-month high on China stimulus hopes (Adds analyst quotes, detail)
By Shinichi Saoshiro
TOKYO, March 26 (Reuters) - The euro steadied on Wednesday, bouncing off lows after comments from European Central Bank officials helped temper dovish comments made against the background of the currency's recent bullishness.
The single currency hit a three-week low on Tuesday after ECB governing council member and Bundesbank chief Jens Weidmann said negative interest rates were an option to temper euro strength and that quantitative easing was not out of the question to combat deflation.
But the euro, which had reached a 2-1/2-year peak against the dollar mid-March on diminished ECB easing expectations, recovered when Weidmann later said the current euro rate does not call for monetary policy action.
Market watchers said comments by ECB President Mario Draghi that the central bank does not see a key symptom of deflation in consumer spending traits also gave the euro some relief.
The euro stood little changed at $1.3818, pulling back from the three-week trough of $1.3749 hit on Tuesday.
"The euro moved suddenly and widely after the dovish comments regarding ECB policy, and this likely helped trigger short-covering that prompted the bounce off lows," said Shinichiro Kadota, chief Japan forex strategist at Barclays in Tokyo.
The U.S. dollar index, which measures the dollar against six major currencies, was last up 0.1 percent at 79.985.
The dollar index has found little follow-through momentum from last week when it rose to a three-week high above 80.35 after new Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen suggested the possibility of raising interest rates early next year.
Similarly, the greenback couldn't make much headway after data on Tuesday showed U.S. consumer confidence surging to a six-year high in March.
"Monetary policy is becoming the dominant theme in the dollar market. Unless the indicator has direct bearings on monetary policy, like employment or inflation, the market's sensitivity to such data is becoming lower," said Kadota at Barclays.
Against the yen, the dollar edged up 0.1 percent to 102.38 , edging further away from this month's low of 101.205 reached when safe-haven bids driven by the Ukraine crisis supported the Japanese currency along with the Swiss franc.
The yen has been hemmed in a relatively tight range between 102.01 and 102.65 against the dollar this week, with traders attributing its inertia to dwindling participation from Japanese investors, many of whom are suspected of having closed their books before the completion of the domestic fiscal year at the end of the month.
"There are few incentives or events left that can knock the yen out of its current range, and focus has already turned to the U.S. nonfarm payrolls next week," said Ayako Sera, senior market economist at Sumitomo Mitsui Trust in Tokyo.
"The nonfarm payrolls might be the only predictable factor with enough clout to break the deadlock," Sera said.
The Australian dollar traded at $0.9162, near a four-month high of $0.9178 hit on Tuesday.
Speculation that China will unveil stimulus measures to re-energise its slowing economy has helped the New Zealand dollar and Aussie, often used as a proxy for exposure to growth cycles in China, Australia's key export market.
The market was keeping an eye on Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens, due to speak in Hong Kong at 0330 GMT.
Recent Aussie strength could trigger a fresh round of jawboning that the currency is too high, though RBA officials have been noticeably less aggressive in their comments recently. (Editing by Shri Navaratnam and Eric Meijer)

CHICAGO -- The Toddlin' Town is atwitter with an unparalleled crosstown series, a matchup of the Cubs and White Sox like no other.
Because of the team's rather downtrodden histories, just having either club in first place would be a novelty. Having both teams in first place at the same time is akin to walking on the surface of the moon. So it's a big weekend in Chicago, capped by Sunday night's series finale at Wrigley Field on ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball."
Although the hype and anticipation for this series (and next week's across town at U.S. Cellular Field, which also concludes on ESPN) have been off the charts, baseball has a funny habit of intruding upon the Mardi Gras-like atmosphere. And though it's not as much as fun as chanting fans and beer in the bleachers, baseball usually comes down to a tired old thing called starting pitching.
Both the Cubs and the White Sox have made their way to first place behind two of baseball's better starting rotations. And among those solid pitchers, none right now has become more important than Ryan Dempster, who starts Sunday for the Cubs.
Dempster arrives with a 8-2 record and a 2.76 ERA. All eight of his wins have come at Wrigley Field, where he is unbeaten. Dempster has been tough to hit, with opponents batting only .192 against him.
His smooth transition from the bullpen back to the rotation has been vital to the Cubs' hold on first place in the National League Central. And Dempster's importance has become magnified this week now that Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano has landed on the disabled list with a tender shoulder.
Cubs GM Jim Hendry stressed all day Saturday that the club did not consider the injury serious and that Zambrano was expected to miss only two starts. However, a pitcher's shoulders can be unpredictable. So Dempster's continued excellence is a must if the Cubs are to continue their first-place run.
Though the Cubs expressed confidence throughout the offseason that they had complete confidence in Dempster's successfully making the move to the rotation, no one could have predicted his success to this point. But he may be showing some early signs of wearing down: He has not pitched into the sixth inning in each of his past three starts.
Dempster set the stage for his season with intensive conditioning work leading into spring training.
"I like to think that I always worked hard to get myself ready for another season," said Dempster. "But I probably took it to another level last winter because of the work I needed to do to get ready to go from throwing 70 innings out of the bullpen to hopefully throwing 200-plus out of the rotation.
"I worked hard on strengthening my lower body and my shoulder for the added workload. And I threw much of the winter working on improving my fastball command, which is usually the key to any starting pitcher being successful. With the fastball being thrown for strikes comes all the other pitches. More than anything that's been the most important thing for me, and I've felt great right from the start. Now I just want to keep it going."
Way back in February, Dempster tried to set a tone for the Cubs' season by predicting they would win the World Series and end the franchise's fabled 100-year drought.
"I just did it really to make the point that this was a whole new year, that whatever has happened here before has nothing to do with this season," said Dempster.
"It's not exactly a secret that they haven't won here in 100 years. It's why the atmosphere around here is so unbelievable all the time. It's why the people here are so excited when we're winning.
"But as players we have to just be conscious of playing the next game, whether it's in this crazy series with the White Sox or any other time. And from the beginning of spring training, there was always the feeling that we really liked our team. We all felt this was a team that had a lot going for it, that it was a good mix of young guys and veterans and just as importantly liked each other."
Geovany Soto
Chicago Cubs
Dempster also is quick to point to one of the Cubs' young players, catcher Geovany Soto, as one of the club's keys.
"He gets a lot of attention from how well he swings the bat," Dempster said. "But he takes a lot more pride in becoming a better catcher, in being able to improve as a handler of pitchers. He'll strike out at the plate, come back to the dugout and sit with the pitcher, asking him how he wants to pitch to the hitters in the next inning. The guy just really cares about being a complete catcher, and all our pitchers really appreciate how hard he works."
Dempster will oppose Javier Vazquez, who as usual has been a solid part of the White Sox's rotation. Vazquez is the only pitcher in baseball to make at least 30 starts, win at least 10 games and strike out at least 150 batters in each of his past eight seasons.
It's a streak he likely will extend, as he's again among American League leaders in strikeouts and innings pitched while carrying a 7-5 record. Behind his pitching Sunday night, the White Sox try to avoid being swept in the Friendly Confines.
Peter Pascarelli is the lead researcher for "Sunday Night Baseball." He will preview each Sunday night game all season long. He is also co-host of the Baseball Today podcast, which runs Monday through Friday on ESPN.com.

A good size bag for a not too tall pregnant lady . It can carry lots but won't weigh you down. The same amount of things that I often carry around seems lighter with this bag and it's also comfortable on my shoulders. I've intention to use it as my diaper bag after my son is born. Plus point is, my husband won't mind carrying it due to its unisex design.

I'm not a huge fan of simply posting pictures made by other people but I ran across this fairly nice guide while visiting io9.com.
I'm really fond of this picture. The creator obviously put quite a bit of thought and research into this project and it shows. The portion discussing communication is particularly nice as often-times the difficulty in communicating is ignored.
There are a couple of key flaws with Mr. firstname.lastname@example.com's --the creator-- picture, though. For one thing, while he's probably correct about the importance of staying humble and not expressing a belief the universe was made for us, explaining this to any aliens would be incredibly difficult. More than likely, their measurement of our own humility would stem not from an explicit statement but rather, from study of how humans behave in general – in which case we are probably doomed.
Furthermore, while drawing a series of organisms increasing in complexity might make sense to us humans to describe evolution, the fact that most of us lack any sort of formal art training means our drawing will probably be totally unrecognizable. Even more, if the aliens value scaling models and drawings properly then any creations we make are going to be completely unintelligible to them. Unfortunately I can't think of any superior methods of communicating these ideas than what email@example.com has presented us so naturally it might be best to defer to him.
So what do you think of the image? Do you think Mr. email@example.com offers any good suggestions? Do you think there are any mistakes? How would you attempt to communicate if you were abducted by extraterrestrials? Be sure to leave a comment with your opinion!

New member from Australia.
Hi.I just joined here.I'm learning about dslr cameras and more importantly thinking about which one to buy.
A little history.I had a brand new pentax A3 35mm film camera that I bought in 1986.Still got it.Havent used it for awhile.Its still going.Put some batteries in it and it still works.At the time I bought the A3 It was the best I could afford.Dont really want to buy a biggeners type dslr but I'm more likely to buy something a little more dearer and get something to last me for a few years.
There are a few that I like:
Fujifilm finepix
Pentax KR or later
That'll do for now.
I wont buy secondhand equipment and I need to buy within Australia just to benefit from warranty,etc.
Can I ask for genuine suggestions? Which cameras should I condider? My budget would be under $900 Australia.I hope I can get camera bag and a few other accessories with it.

text: I can now count the time until we leave for Disney World in terms of how many times I have to come back to work. I have to come to work 7 more days before we leave!! It just makes me smile and as everyone else is stressing out over all of the "problems" at work I know that in about 13 days I will leave this place for two weeks and I will not give it a second thought. I am blessed with the ability to forget everything else when I am in Disney!! Everyone join me as I do a little dance in my office as everyone else has already left for the day and there is no danger of anyone seeing me act goofy!!!

What can we do to enhance their brain function and thought processes? What are the factors that will enhance memory, stabilize moods and activate intelligence?
Fish Oil – by now we all know about Omega 3 fish oils and how good it is for our brain, body and health. Omega 3 contains DHA which is found in the grey matter in the brain. Adequate amount will ensure that brain cells are fluid and influences communication between the cells. In other words it is vital for brain function and acuity; memory and concentration. Natural sources are seafood, mackerel, salmon, anchovies, trout and sardines. If you can't find a way to get fish into your child's diet you can supplement with fish oil or flaxeed oil. Fish oil has a better absorption rate.
Hydration, hydration, hydration – water is so important for brain function because our brain is about 80% water. It needs water for the neurotransmitters to be able to communicate properly. When our children are acting up, being difficult and/or don't seem to be thinking clearly try giving them water. If that is all you have on offer then you have a better chance that they will be hydrated. The blood is about 83% water and is an important transport system. Blood delivers nutrients and removes toxins from the brain and all our organs. Water is essential for concentration and mental alertness.
Trevor Brocklebank of the Academic Unit of Pediatrics and Child Health, St. James's University Hospital, Leeds, UK discovered that children achieved the best results when drinking eight glasses of water per day. (8 glasses can really mean anything. A good barometer is to drink enough water until the urine runs clear. The only wee that should be yellow is possibly the first of the day. For children about 1- 2 litres depending on the size of the child.)
Avoid refined sugars and carbohydrates- (white flour, rice and pasta) as these have been shown to "turn off" the brain.
Physical activity – this increases blood flow to the brain, and to the rest of the body as well. So instead of going straight home to do homework get out into the fresh air and run around the park. Not only will the blood be flowing well to the brain but the endorphins will be brightening up your families mood making them in a better mood to face their homework after a tiring day at school. Some schools even allow the kids to have a run around first thing in the morning so that they may commence their day in a settled, calm manner.
Sunshine – the all important vitamin D. Vitamin D is crucial for bone strength but also for our immune systems. Adequate amounts have also been shown to have a correlation with cancer prevention. Melatonin levels are achieved when sunlight hits the pineal gland by a pathway through the eyes. (No you don't have to look directly at the sun.) This in turn lifts mood and encourages excellent sleep which brings us to the next point.
Sleep – Did you know that every hour of sleep before midnight is worth 2 after! Kid's bodies and brains are constantly growing so they need their sleep to allow for regeneration. With our kids I have noticed that even the loss of 1 hour can result in moodiness and lack of concentration and mental acuity the next day. If I give in to the call for "can't we stay up just a little longer?" I always regret it the next day! They are moody, difficult and unable to concentrate.
Motivation – Are they interested in the content? What do you remember? Do you remember everything or mainly information that you find interesting? Kids are expected to learn a sometimes insurmountable amount of information that they may have absolutely no interest or natural ability for. Whilst of course there needs to be some expectations in place we need to be mindful as parents that they may not be, what we want them to be. In the long run they will be far more successful both professionally and personally when they are allowed and encouraged to follow their passion.

Medicare Advantage changes prompt some to reconsider plans
When Don and Elizabeth Dersch, of Chester, Va., both 68, became eligible for Medicare a few years ago, they carefully weighed the costs of traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage, the coverage provided by private insurers. They chose Medicare Advantage.
Their plan from Anthem covered the doctor visits, treatment, testing and hospital coverage that traditional Medicare covers, and it offered low co-payments, Medicare D prescription drug coverage and a YMCA membership.
One reason Medicare Advantage plans have attracted a growing number of Americans – 29 percent of the 52 million Medicare recipients have chosen them, according to Avalere Health, a research firm – is that they have been, in effect, subsidized by the federal government. Now the government is reducing what it pays the private plans, bringing payments in line with those for traditional Medicare.
Some insurers have dropped policies, or reducing services and network providers on existing policies.
The changes and promises of more to come have set some Medicare Advantage subscribers scrambling.
When the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, the government was paying an estimated 12 percent more to Medicare Advantage insurers than to traditional Medicare providers. The law aims to close that gap with about $150 billion in cuts over a 10-year period; the proposed 1.9 percent cuts announced Feb. 21 are the latest step.
America's Health Insurance Plans estimates total cuts for 2015 of 6 percent, on top of 6 percent cuts this year, said Robert Zirkelbach, a spokesman for the trade group.
In addition to changes in service, Zirkelbach and other industry officials predict increased premiums, co-payments and coinsurance may result. The Kaiser Family Foundation estimated that Medicare Advantage premiums will rise 14 percent in 2014, even as enrollment in Advantage plans continues to grow.
Debate over the proposed cuts is likely to continue, with no decision before April. People turning 65 this year and trying to determine what type of Medicare plan to sign up for may want to keep track of developments. For those already enrolled, the next opportunity to switch coverage comes with the next open enrollment season in October.
It is important to understand the differences between traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage.
With traditional Medicare, most people pay no premiums for Medicare Part A, which covers hospital visits. Most will pay $104.90 a month for Medicare Part B premiums (and a $147 annual deductible), which covers doctor visits, tests and other treatments. They also pay a 20 percent co-payment for Part B coverage. High-income retirees will pay a higher monthly premium, the amount depending on adjusted gross income. Medicare Part D covers prescription drugs through private insurers; people who sign up for traditional Medicare may purchase a Part D plan separately. Many Medicare enrollees also purchase a Medigap supplemental policy to help cover Medicare co-payments and other medical costs not covered by Medicare.
Medicare Advantage plans cover everything Medicare Part A and B cover, and usually include Part D coverage. Some plans charge an extra premium in addition to the government-mandated Part B premium. Others charge no extra premium, although those plans are declining because of cost concerns. Advantage plans often offer coverage traditional Medicare does not, including vision and hearing treatments.

I just made up this recipe tonight and I LOVE IT. It was so tasty and you can actually add whatever type of veggies you prefer. I was trying to clean out the fridge.
2 yellow squash, sliced thin (I used a mandolin to slice them)
1 small package of portobello mushrooms, sliced thin
1/2 large white onion chopped
2 tbsp (heaping) crushed garlic
1 tbsp ground sage
1 tbsp ground thyme
2 cups milk
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp salt
1/2 stick of unsalted butter
3 tbsp flour
2 cups of shredded cheese (whatever cheese you prefer)
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
Slice the yellow squash and mushrooms thinly. Place in a non-stick baking dish. In a pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Saute the onions and the garlic together and add the sage and thyme. Cook until translucent. Add the butter and let melt completely. Add the flour to mixture and let cook for 1 minute. Slowly wisk in the cream, then the milk, then the chicken broth. Let cook for another 5 minutes. Pour mixture over the squash and mushrooms. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Then sprinkle the bread crumbs. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Then up the oven to 375 degrees and cook for an extra 10 minutes.
This was very very tasty.

I'm 30, and work in publishing. What I'm looking for in a new place is not just a house but a home. I love the idea of having dinners or the odd glass of wine together, while still respecting each others space. I also have a partner who I like to have over one or two nights a week. We're quiet and respectful, but I thought I would mention this because not all places are okay with overnight guests.
As for me, I'm very easy going, clean and kind. I love to have a good laugh, and I value communication in the house hold.

PC with 7, sleeps after I sleep.
Well, literally.
I put few torrents on Azureas Vuze when I go to sleep. I used to use uTorrent before but I can't now..
So, what happens is when I make wake up in the morning, I see the PC power button off, when I press the power button, it resumes from sleep and everything is loaded just the way I left, the Azureas is downloading but without much progress from yesterday night.
What seems to be the problem ? I want PC to run when the torrent is running, but if its not and everything is idle, it should go to sleep as usual.

I guess you must do this manually each time you are about to see torrents.
OR, you can leave Windows Media Player playing a repetitive song or playlist or whatever (the point is that keeps playing the whole night) and when you want to stop downloading torrents you just close it. (Obviously you mute it first)

Cyphertite is a tar-like secure remote archiver. It deduplicates, compresses, and encrypts data prior to transmission, providing total privacy while reducing unnecessary wire traffic. It seamlessly supports IPv6 and IPv4 on a variety of platforms.
Release Notes: A new metadata format was introduced, which shrinks md archives for most users by not storing redundant path names for each file. Operations that do not need crypto secrets were made faster by not decrypting secrets upon startup. xmlsd_generate is used in libxmlsd instead of using printf XML generation. Minor fixes and improvements were made.
The goal of Cheix USB is a Linux image executing from a USB storage device into a running OS, either Linux or Windows, so that the host machine does not have to support booting from the USB device. The root filesystem and boot partitions are read-only to preserve the USB device. All writes are done in a tmpfs. The only writes to the USB storage device are those explicitly made by the user.

"poor hotel booking arrangements"
About: National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, Queen Square National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, Queen Square London WC1N 3BG
Posted via NHS Choices
I attended the Day Care Unit for four days and was told that hotel accommodation would be arranged for three nights (i.e. not including the night before my admission). This meant getting up very early to make the long journey to London, as the first test commenced at 9.30am. I thought this was very badly organised, as the test was 24hr blood pressure monitoring, and the stress of travelling and then settling into an unfamiliar hospital environment might produce higher-than-usual readings, when my blood pressure is normally very low. It was not till after the monitor had been fitted that I was told which hotel I would be staying in. Then, on reporting to hotel reception, I was told that I had in fact been booked for the previous night, so I could have travelled up the day before, if the hospital had bothered to inform me. But that wasn't the only problem. The hotel room had been booked for only two nights (up until Wednesday morning) when my hospital tests were continuing until Friday afternoon. I told them I needed the room for a further two nights and they said they would sort it out with the hospital. But when I returned on Wednesday night, I found myself locked out! The receptionist told me they had already spoken to the hospital and had been told quite definitely that my room was not needed for the rest of the week. So I don't know if they were expecting me to sleep in the hospital porch? Rather than spend a night outside in the cold and rain, I was obliged to have that night's hotel bill registered to my own credit card. (Supposing I hadn't had a credit card?) But they still weren't sure if I could stay the following night. The matter was eventually resolved when I spoke to someone at the hospital next day. But this caused further stress immediately prior to another blood pressure monitoring test, and I noticed that my reading was abnormally high when I first entered the test room. I was well-satisfied with the friendliness and helpfulness of the hospital technicians, but the accommodation arrangements were a complete shambles and may have affected my test results. If I ever have to do this again, I would want the name of the hotel and exact dates of stay in writing before I leave home.

Diverse deposit-types or mineral systems form by diverse geological processes, so translation of knowledge about the controls of mineralization acquired from the 4D geological modeling into 2D spatial predictor maps is a major challenge for prospectivity analysis. In this regard, mathematical functions have been used to model the conceptual or perceived spatial relationships between geological variables and targeted type or system of mineralization. In this paper, due to the different models of spatial relationships between predictors and mineral deposits, we investigated the performance of different fuzzification functions to quantify the relationships. We demonstrated that various types of relationships between exploration features and a mineralization-type sought could be quantified using different fuzzification functions for prospectivity analysis. We illustrated the process of the prospectivity analysis by using a data set of orogenic gold deposits in Saqez-Sardasht Goldfield, Iran. Prospectivity modeling of orogenic gold mineralization in the study area showed that the NE-SW trending targets have priority for further prospecting of the deposits. Peer review journal article. Geology. 2017-11-04T00:00:00Z Assessment of communal land rights for smallholder farmers access to markets in South Africa : implications on gender. http://hdl.handle.net/10413/14782 2017-10-31T01:00:22Z 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z Assessment of communal land rights for smallholder farmers access to markets in South Africa : implications on gender. Most African countries have embarked on improving agriculture, food security and reducing hunger through the support and involvement of smallholder farmers in the food production. Smallholder farmers have been key custodians of most African nations food and nutrition security, yet they are challenged by several factors including lack of access to land, access to credit and access to formal markets. Women smallholder farmers are the most affected due to the patrilineal nature of communal land allocation in most rural societies. Smallholder agriculture can provide a route out of poverty only if it is productive, commercially oriented and well linked to formal markets. Women have over the years relied on land based activities for their livelihoods and survival and food security however, they have always been marginalised in the allocation, control and command over land as a property. Several studies indicate that women perform most of the agricultural activities mainly for their households' food security and may produce a meagre surplus for sale in the informal markets. Market access for rural smallholder farmers has been actively promoted to catalyse sustainable rural livelihood development. However, without addressing the land access and gender specific issues that rural smallholder women farmers face in accessing markets, most initiatives aimed at improving smallholder farmer livelihoods and their food security may fail to achieve their sole purpose. Culturally stipulated roles of women's in the household and in smallholder agriculture have adverse effects on household food security due to the resultant workload burden and reduced market participation by smallholder farmers. Smallholder women farmers have to travel long distances with their meagre produce to access markets. This study assessed the relationship between gender and communal land access and how they collectively impact smallholder farmers' access to markets. The specific objectives of the study were to determine relationships between gender and communal land access, to identify the factors affecting smallholder farmers to access agriculture markets and to determine how land access enhances smallholder farmers' access to markets. A purposive sample of 135 households was selected in Appelsbosch, KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa. The mixed methods approach of research made up of structured questionnaires, together with focus group discussions and observation was employed. Qualitative data from the focus group discussions and open-ended questions was analysed for common themes using content analysis. The data was then subjected to descriptive statistical analysis using SPSS. Statistically significant differences were observed between gender and access to land, access of land and the owner of the land (p<0.05). The results further indicated that women land rights were mostly secondary and land access was closely linked to the existence of a relationship with male relatives, largely through marital ties. The study concluded that smallholder farmers faced numerous challenges in terms of accessing land and markets. From these results, the study recommends more equitable measures for secure land rights for women farmers as individuals based on need, improvement in extension services and creation of stable markets and market access support for smallholder farmers to ensure sustainable livelihoods and food security.

I posted a 10-yr chart of the Dow on Twitter but here it is again. $DIA
What an incredible run from March 2009 through late 2016. Is that what a bubble looks like? This has been an almost relentless move up. A few sideways moments along the way, but this is what a bull market looks like.
This is also during a period where President Barack Obama did not see a GDP over 3%. He has been relentlessly hammered over the slow economy, while people also said the rising stock market has contributed to inequality. The rich get richer while poor and middle class people have not seen wage growth, struggle to find good paying jobs, a falling labor participation rate, and don't participate in the stock market. The national debt has doubled under President Obama.
The country now gets a new President next month, with different ideas on taxes, regulations, and jobs. Many analysts are predicting higher GDP but also higher inflation and budget deficits.
What will a chart of the next 10-yrs look like?
