Obesity at Midlife May Speed Alzheimer's Onset
Various studies suggest that being overweight at midlife increases your risk of developing Alzheimer's in old age. Now, a new study found that people who are obese at age 50 may get Alzheimer's at a younger age.
The study, from researchers at the National Institutes of Health, looked at 1,394 men and women who were part of the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging, a large and ongoing study of Baltimore residents as they age. Their average age was around 60.
None had Alzheimer's disease or other serious memory problems at the start of the study. They got regular checks of memory and thinking skills, for an average of about 14 years. During that time, 142 were diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
The researchers found that people with the highest body mass index, or BMI, at age 50 were much more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. BMI is a formula doctors use that takes into account both height and weight to estimate body fat and the likelihood of developing health problems due to excess weight. People at a healthy weight generally have a BMI under 25. Those with a BMI of 25 to 30 are considered to be overweight, while those with a BMI over 30 are considered obese.
A man who is 5 foot 11 and weighs 180 pounds, for example, has a BMI just over 25, while a 5 foot 4 woman who weighs 145 would have a similar BMI on the healthy-overweight border. You can calculate your BMI at various online sites, including at NIH: http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm
The researchers found that the higher someone's BMI at midlife, the earlier they tended to get the disease. Each one-point increase in BMI was associated with getting Alzheimer's six to seven months earlier. Someone with a BMI of 30, for example, might develop Alzheimer's two-and-a-half years earlier than someone with a BMI of 25. Those with the highest BMIs also tended to have more brain changes typical of Alzheimer's, even if they didn't have symptoms of the disease.
Do those with higher BMI at midlife tend to stay that way? Or can the effects of BMI at midlife be changed for those who lower their BMI? These questions were not made clear by the current study, but answers to these questions could allow people to make more lifestyle changes that would reduce their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease at an earlier age.
"As we try to cure Alzheimer's disease, we also want to delay the onset of symptoms," said study author Dr. Madhav Thambisetty, a neurologist at the NIH's National Institute on Aging. "Maintaining a healthy BMI at midlife is likely to have long-lasting protective effects." The findings appeared in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.
Increasingly, doctors believe that what's good for the heart is good for the brain. Carrying excess weight has been closely linked with a variety of diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels, including heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. Being "apple-shaped," with excess belly fat, as opposed to "pear-shaped," with large thighs, may be a particular risk factor for heart disease – as well as Alzheimer's.
Scientists also speculate that fat cells may produce harmful chemicals that promote inflammation in blood vessels throughout the body, including in the brain. People who are overweight may also tend to have diets low in "good" fats, such as those found in fish, and to get less exercise than those who are of normal weight.
Additional study is needed to determine how weight and body fat might affect brain health. Many factors go into determining who ultimately gets Alzheimer's disease, including what genes you inherit. But anything that delays the onset of Alzheimer's could have significant impacts on the costs – both human and financial — of caring for the disease.

Title: Rock and a Hard Place

One day while watching the Interstate exit for her dad's long awaited return, Libby's life is rocked when Peter Jamieson steps off his tour bus and into her life. After a couple chance meetings with Peter, Libby breaks away from her rule abiding behavior and her life changes course.
Peter longs for normalcy away from the screaming fans who know nothing about the real him. He is amazed to discover Libby has never heard of him or his band. Soon their friendship turns to love. While Peter battles his family's growing interference so he can spend time with Libby, she struggles with her eccentric aunt who turns more bizarre each day.
This is a little long, I'll try to give you the short version. :)My ideas always start with "what if?" Here's the back story. My daughter was really worried about a boy she went to high school with. The parents were divorced and he lived with his mother in Colorado. When he was 14, she died of cancer. He was sent here, to Wisconsin, to live with his dad. I don't know any of the circumstances, but from what I heard, the dad was abusive and alcoholic. He clearly didn't want his son and didn't know what to do with him. He even threw the kid out of the house a few times. This friendly, polite, good looking kid was 16. I couldn't stop thinking about him.
His story got me to thinking about all the kids who get a raw deal in life. Kids who do absolutely nothing to deserve the bad situation they're in. So I wondered, what if? What if a young girl was torn from her family and put with some eccentric relative? What if she were so grief stricken she couldn't pull herself out of it. What would happen? AND, what if the most unlikely of things happened and someone famous stepped into her life? That's how Libby and Peter came to life. :)
Do any of the characters resemble a person you know?
The characters in this book aren't based off anyone specific. I didn't have a famous person in mind when I wrote them. However, I did for Dream Chaser, my next book, but that's another story.
How did you come up with the title?
The title picked itself. I labored for a long time about it, but having Rock in the title seemed necessary, because Peter is in a rock band. And Libby is in a very hard place in her life. So Rock and a Hard Place felt right. It describes both characters lives.
How would you compare Libby's personality to yours?
How would I compare Libby's personality to my own? Interesting question. I believe that most people go through difficult times when their kids. Some skate through unscathed, but many have some kind of issues or trauma they survived. I'm no different. There was a time in my life when I was shy and didn't speak up, so I guess you could say that part of Libby's personality was like mine. Now, as an adult, I'm pretty honest with my opinions. If I think something is wrong, I'll say so, and if I think a rule is stupid, I won't follow it. Libby finally had to break rules to save herself.
My Review:
Rock and a Hard Place was definitely the contemporary novel I was looking for! It was fun, chill, and very interesting! The flow of the book was wonderful, and the story events were all great! Angie definitely wrote a book that many young adults would enjoy!
In this book, I loved how the main protagonist Libby, never felt sorry for herself. She didn't have a family, and had to live with her awful aunt who's always drinking. If it was me, i'd go crazy! Libby held through and went to school, got good grades, and just went on with her life!
When Libby meets Peter, it was magical. They instantly enjoy their time together, and not in an insta love way, but in a "wow your great to hang out with" way. Peter is in a band, and Libby doesn't have any electronics at home, so she has never heard of him. Peter feels normal around Libby, which seems totally realistic and believable. With all those fans after him, seeking normalcy is one thing he does. While no one showed kindness to Libby, she does feel safe and happy with him, which again just makes the whole concept real and cute.
The most thing I loved, is Angie's style of writing. She writes in all the character's points of views, and not in a way that mixes the readers up. I understood all the character's feelings and thoughts, which made me get to know them much better.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. If you haven't read it yet, you should totally go ahead and READ it! It will not disappoint, and will leave you closing the book with a smile!

Last night's second leg in Copa del Rey semifinals between Real Madrid and archrival Barcelona at Camp Nou was indeed another "El Clasico" matchup. But Barca played a totally different performance in front of the home fans that resulted in the same outcome when they played AC Milan at San Siro last week. What's more painful, this time they were demolished by its fierce rival Real Madrid right at their own turf.
Perhaps, Real Madrid learned a lesson or two from what AC Milan did when they stunned the football world by defeating the Catalans (2-0) with excellent defensive walls and limiting the passing lane. Barcelona's highly structured "Tiki-taka" style of play failed to produce victory in two successive big occasions and can only manage a single goal against five (AC Milan -2; Real -3).
More similarities can be found in AC Milan and Real's magical night, by containing the passing lane with organized defensive walls but Mourinho has also deployed a clinical counterattack that caught the Catalans flat-footed, exposing again the vulnerability of their defense. In fact, Ronaldo's two goals are a direct result from excellent counterattacking strategy and were very evident throughout the match. Or maybe, that is just what "El Clasico" is being played.
Stats say that it was Barcelona's worst defeat among "El Clasico's" since losing at the Bernabeu in 2008. And the last time Real Madrid won 3-1 at Camp Nou, they won the Copa del Rey by beating Sevilla. And if there's more coincidence of it, Sevilla on the other hand, is hosting Atletico Madrid tonight in the other second leg semifinal match but the Sevillistas is thrilling 1-2 in aggregate.

St Michael & All Angels Bulley
We made respectful acquaintance with some cows enjoying morning tea.
Bulley Farm is beside the church, and emphasises the rural nature of this community.
May God smile on you today,
|We get permission to park at Bulley farm, next to the church.
|This view of the farmhouse is from the churchyard.
|Kites Nest Lane is opposite the church, and provides some parking spaces.
|Then we looked at the wheat, now forming heads. Other fields are sown with rape, now in flower, and sheep graze a bit further up the road, which is single car width - I had to reverse to a layby twice.
Max is dwarfed by the size of the tombstones in front of the church. This building was restored by Sidney Gambier Parry in 1886-7. It has Saxon foundations, Norman style windows, doorway and Chancel arch.
Parry added the Chancel, a North Vestry, half-timbered south porch, and a square west bell-turret with a short shingled spire. It now has modern lighting, heat and coloured glass windows in the 'polygonal aspe, by Graham Dowding 2000'.
The earliest records, indexed under Bulley at Alvin St Gloucester, is P66 VE 2/1, the Vestry Minutes from 14 Sep 1837. They appear to hold two meetings a year, at Easter to elect the Churchwarden and Overseer, and in June to set the Poor Rate. In 1837 there was a change in regulations, and the Parish had to agree to sell the Poor Houses.
These were built by the Parish about 1811, each with half an acre of garden.
They are four houses bounded on the north by the land of Mr Hyett in occupation of William Humphridge, on the south by the road leasing from Tibberton to Churcham, on the west by land belonging to Jonathan Davies in his own occupation, and east by land in occupation of Joseph Richardson.
Money was borrowed to build the houses, and Vestry agreed to repay this debt when the sales were effected, a sum of 99 pounds 17 shillings, to Mr Wm Humphridge 34 pounds and 5.19.0 interest, to Joseph Pickering 34 pounds and 5.19.0 interest, and to Richard Moody 17 pounds with 2.19.0 interest.
Plans were under way for rebuilding the Chancel and building a Gallery at the West End to increase the seating by 42 places.

It's not often that pro athletes find their calling after their professional sports careers. But that's exactly what happened to Dorian Brooks.
Patrolling the streets of Arlington County, Officer Brooks stands at 6'3" and weighs 280 pounds, which is actually down from his playing weight of 327 pounds.
What did he play? Well, it wasn't badminton.
"Professional football - I played up in Pittsburgh for the Steelers," said Brooks, the friendly officer with an easy smile.
Brooks was once an offensive lineman for the Steelers. That came after a career as a defensive lineman at James Madison University.
His two years in the NFL included a 2011 Super Bowl appearance.
"Unfortunately we lost, but it was a great experience nevertheless," he said.
But it wasn't until Brooks experienced being a police officer that he said he felt fulfilled.
"This was something that early on, I knew I had a passion for. I grew up in a military family and I always enjoyed that part of service and protecting. Being an offensive lineman that's what we did, we had to protect the quarterback," said Brooks, insisting that at least some football skills translate to being a police officer.
"I did have an encounter when I was brand new, I had to chase a guy down," he said. "I was still at my offensive line weight so he might have thought I was a little on the slow side but I brought him down gently."
Gently. Considering his size, that's highly doubtful. But it turns out that tackling is not Brook's weapon of choice. Instead, it's helping.
"I have the opportunity to talk to people every day and kind of solve problems for people that they may not be able to solve on their own," he said.
Brooks admitted, there are some things he misses some things about football.
"I miss the competitiveness, the physicality of it," he said.
But he insisted there's no chance of an NFL comeback.
"Not a chance. Plus, my wife would kill me if I went back," joked Brooks, agreeing that it might be more dangerous than being a police officer.
Oh, and just in case you were wondering, Brooks said he has not traded in his black and gold for burgundy and gold. He's not a Redskins fan. He is still very much a Steelers fan.

STOCKHOLM -- Patients with type 1 diabetes who have repeated episodes of hypoglycemia appear to be at risk for early signs of atherosclerosis, researchers said here.
Those who had frequent bouts of low blood sugar were more likely to have early markers of vascular disease, including increased leukocytes, fibrinogen, and intima-media thickness (P<0.05), according to Montserrat Gimenez, MD, of Hospital Clinic of Barcelona in Spain, and colleagues.
They reported their findings at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) meeting here.
Diabetes has long been associated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease, even though many patients lack classical cardiovascular risks. And recent studies have shown that intense glucose control may also be associated with cardiovascular disease.
But the role of frequent hypoglycemia in heart and vascular disease in diabetes is still unclear. (See ADA: Still No Culprit for Excess Mortality With Tight Glucose Control)
So the researchers looked at 25 patients with type 1 diabetes who had more than four mild to moderate hypoglycemia episodes a week and about two severe episodes in the preceding year. These patients had no other complications or autonomic dysfunction.
They were compared with 20 patients who didn't have frequent hypoglycemic episodes (fewer than two per week and no serious hypoglycemia). These controls were also free of other complications or autonomic dysfunction.
Gimenez and colleagues assessed inflammation and endothelial markers -- including leukocytes, Von Willebrand factor, fibrinogen, and ICAM-1 -- as well as flow-mediated dilation in the brachial artery and intima-media thickness at both the carotid and femoral arteries.
They found that those with frequent hypoglycemic episodes generally had a worse atherosclerosis profile.
For instance, the percentage of maximal flow-mediated dilation was lower in this group than among controls (6.52% versus 8.62%, P<0.05).
They also had significantly higher intima-media thickness at both the carotid and femoral arteries, compared with controls (0.53 mm versus 0.47 mm, P<0.05 for the carotid artery, 0.51 mm versus 0.39 mm, P<0.05, for the femoral).
Markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction -- leukocytes, Von Willebrand, fibrinogen, and ICAM-1 -- were also higher among patients with frequent hypoglycemia (P<0.05 for all).
When looking for atherosclerotic plaques, the researchers found them in 10 of the 25 frequently hypoglycemic patients, but in none of the controls.
In addition, few of the patients with frequent hypoglycemia knew they were experiencing such episodes, as measured by both Clarke's test and by Edinburgh's scale, the researchers reported.
They cautioned that the exact mechanism underlying the relationship between diabetes and heart disease is still unclear and needs further research in order to be clarified.
The researchers reported no conflicts of interest.

Born in Guadalajara, Mexico in 1973. All my life I have liked to take photographs, but it wasn't until I was in college that I had my first (and only) photography class while studying Industrial Design. At that time it was with film, and we learned to develop and print in black and white. I didn't take a lot of photographs back then, but when I met digital, my life changed. Little by little I have been upgrading over the years from a Kodak point and shoot to a Nikon D300 with different lenses. As my primary job takes too much time away from me, and my family takes the rest of the time left, I decided to start a "Photo club" at work. It has brought new life into my photography, by learning from others, and by forcing me to take more...

Another long weekend of the summer gone by! I hope everyone got up to fun things this weekend. I did not go away or anything, this is the summer of work and moving forward for me and I am fine with that! I did get a little reading/sun time in with a loaner Kobo that a friend gave me to use until I get mine back. I also got to attend a wedding of an amazing couple Sean and Megan!! Their wedding was so beautiful and so unique! The bride was wearing an amazing to die for one shouldered dress. They had the ceremony at the a museum and the reception at a wicked restaurant called the Alibi Room in Gastown. It had amazing food and a beer selection that made me wish I liked beer! Of course being the ditz that I am I didn't take any pictures.
Other than that the highlight of my weekend was last night. I decided to make a really yummy healthy dinner for Leigh and I and somehow convinced him to watch the Bachelorette finale with me. This means that I got to watch with a running commentary from Leigh: "JP and Ashley are the WORST kissers ever! They're eating each others faces, I can't even watch!" It was a little heartbreaking to watch her break up with Ben, even though I totally called it and I was rooting for JP. Did you see that little book he gave her with the picture of them on the beach and the love letter? SOLD!
PS: That dress is 16 grand, and she went frolicking in the water with it. Not cool, Ash.
While we were watching the "so bad it's good" Bachelorette, I decided we needed a seriously veggie based dinner. So I made our favourite salad and decided to try this broccoli recipe I found on pinterest. Yes, broccoli. Now I personally LOVE steamed broccoli. But this...this is just....so freaking good!!!
The recipe credit goes to Barefoot Contessa, but I modified it a bit ie took out things I don't like lol.
4-5 pounds of broccoli (or two large bunches) chopped into florets (needs to be TOTALLY DRY!)
5 tbsp of olive oil
1.5 tsp kosher salt
1.5 tsp fresh ground pepper
4 garlic gloves peeled and chopped
1/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan
1 lemon (to juice and zest)
Either wash the broccoli and let it dry thoroughly or just don't wash it. At 425 degrees (which you need to preheat the oven to) the bacteria is probably going to be killed anyways. Your choice!
Toss the broccoli with the olive oil, salt and pepper and spread it out on a baking sheet. Put it in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. Check and see if the tips of the florets are starting to go brown. It should be "crispy tender" according to the Barefoot Contessa. When it's ready, take it out of the oven and zest a lemon over the broccoli, then squeeze the juice out of the lemon over the broccoli. Then you can sprinkle the best part, aka the cheese on top of the broccoli. The recipe I had didn't call for this but I stuck it back in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
I had heard such amazing things about this recipe I was nervous I would be let down. It is freaking amazing. You just seriously have to try it, even if you don't like broccoli. I could eat this every day, I'm not joking. I put the plate of broccoli in front of Leigh and he's like "What's so special about this broccoli, anyway?" I'm like "Just eat it!" and as soon as he took a bite his eyes went wide and he moved over on the couch so I wouldn't dig into his because I'd already finished mine! lol
I will definitely be making this again, it's so easy and simple. Let me know if you try it! :)

I love a good cup of coffee, Dunkin' Donuts being my favorite. On the east coast there is a D&D on every corner, here in Colorado, they aren't as plentiful. The good news is the just opened one fairly close to me. I am just waiting for the hub bud to die down before I make my way over to get a large dark roast! I was inspired to make this card after learning about the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop (there are TONS of awesome prizes!), funny how just reading about a challenge or blog hop can start those creative wheels turning!
What I Used to Make this Card:
Kraft Paper Card Base
Cream Color Cardstock
Light Brown Cardstock
Ranger Ink in Jet Black
Embossing Ink
Coffee Bean Stamp and Sentiment stamp from SU! Set Express Yourself (discontinued)
Coffee Cup Stamp - manufacturer unknown
Tim Holtz Sizzix Alterations Dies in Labels, 66060
Tim Holtz Distress Marker in Festive Berries
Moonglow Embossing Powder Twilight Bronze Slate
Pop Dots
I started with Kraft paper, which I used as the card base. I took the coffee bean stamp and stamped it all over the cardstock using embossing ink, and then heat embossed with the Twilight Bronze Slate embossing powder (if you have never seen the beautiful two toned embossing powder at Lindy's Stamp Gang, do yourself a favor and check them out).
Then I inked up the image and the sentiment with the Jet Black ink, stamping the coffee cup image (which I have had for years and never used before. For some reason this stamp made it through all the paring down, thinning the stock and cleaning. Now I see why!) on the light brown cardstock and the sentiment on the cream colored cardstock. I used the Tim Holtz dies and die cut the coffee cup and the sentiment, then pop dotted them onto the card. I didn't want them to pop out too much, so I used low pop dots. As I was looking at the composition of the card I noticed there was another hidden heart in this stamp! I am finding them all over! So I outlined the heart with the Festive Berries marker, so if you look close, you can see it. I get so excited when I find hidden images and other ways to use my stash (now I have another heart stamp!).
|Another look - this one shows the embossing better

Part of the work that we've been doing for the next platform release is standardizing how we deal with widgets that have been customized through the custom widgets menu and what we internally call "insanely custom widgets" which have very unique looks usually driven by branding requirements. As shown below, many of these widgets won't even have to be exactly square in design.
Another example unrelated to the above image: In September, we'll be running a trial with a good sized wireless carrier in Latin America that has a user base in the few million user range. Not huge but likely "right sized" for our current server infrastructure. The trial runs for two weeks to 10% of their user base. If successful, the trial will morph into a full set of revenue producing services available to the entire user base. The widget to be used for this test is essentially a reproduction of the carrier's brand – there is nothing similar to it in our existing widget library. That said, the code for this wireless carrier's widget and, more importantly, the dynamically produced images of widgets that we use in Facebook and other places are now handled through the same new code as our regular and more conventionally custom widgets.
The bulk of this change will be invisible to most of you but was a huge leap forward for us. It improves your experience as a user by providing new out-of-the-normal widget designs and reduces the possibility for errors since we only have a single set of code to maintain. It also opens the door to a whole slew of widget customization opportunities that we hadn't been able to do before through a web interface. We previously were having to manually build exceptions for every insanely custom widget that we built. That is no longer the case.

In this scene you have a geometric slab of concrete connecting with organic nature (or at least something that symbolizes it) and what looks like a path humans have created between them. You have the rascals of both worlds, graffiti and weeds, mediated by a path that probably shouldn't be there.
The right place to get around is on the road that the concrete supports above. It's like sidewalks that meet at 90 degrees but no one uses because people have made a more sensical path that shortcuts the corner. Like here.
In other words, there's top-down urban planning, bylaws, and civilization and then bottom-up human design that emerges organically with experience, a kind of natural law. Paths work with and around the weeds and contours of the land, while hard lines and heavy ramparts put it in a container and push it away.
My significant other says this is one of my most punk pieces yet. Oi!

Freewill Verses Fate
Oedipus is a play that delves into the themes of freewill and fate throughout its entirety. This is the story of a man and his struggles against his own destiny and his fight for the future that he desires. Oedipus wanted to deny his own predestination and make his own life.
The story all began by a prophecy upon Oedipus' life that one day he would kill his father, defile his mother's bed and wander the world for the rest of his life in blindness. At an age he made the conscious decision to deny the prophecy and move from what he thought was his hometown, to Thebes, in order to flee from his predestined plan for life. While some individuals chose to believe in predestination in order to maintain some level of peace, a sense that whatever is meant to happen will happen, Oedipus wanted a different outcome, and through his choices, did what he could.
At the beginning of the play, the priest explains Thebes is suffering from a plague. Plants, animals, and people are all dying. The people there know that Oedipus is not a god, but they believe that some god inspired him to solve the riddle of the sphinx and save the town. Since Oedipus has been king, he has done a splendid job, so now people look to him in order to find a cure for the plague. Oedipus explains that he has sent Creon (Jocasta's brother) to an oracle in order to get an answer. He's late returning, but as soon as he gets back, Oedipus promises to do whatever the oracle says. All that is known, at that point, is that Laius left for Delphi and never returned. There was no immediate investigation because of the sphinx problem.

City officials may take Wilton Manors to court for its expected refusal to pay Oakland Park $187,858 in sewage bond payments over the next 12 years.
In 1967, Wilton Manors and Oakland Park agreed to finance a 30-year bond to build Oakland Park's wastewater treatment plant.
Oakland Park treated Wilton Manors sewage between 1967 and 1983, but was forced to close its plant by the federal government.
Both cities now use the county's regional sewage system.
Wilton Manors was making an annual debt service payment of $14,450 to Oakland Park. Earlier this month, Wilton Manors stopped payment, claiming it believed Oakland Park violated the 1967 contract agreement.
In a memo to the Oakland Park City Council, City Manager J. Scott Miller said suing Wilton Manors is an option the council needs to discuss. Another option is filing a claims bill with the Legislature.
The City Council is scheduled to review the issue Wednesday

Stay ahead of developments in federal and state health care law, regulation and transactions with timely, expert news and analysis.
By Alex Ruoff
The federal health insurance marketplace and several state insurance marketplaces were unable to resolve applicants' inconsistencies in data in areas such as citizenship and income when they first opened last fall, according to a report released July 1 by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General.
The report and an associated audit from the OIG are the first from the office to look at the operation of insurance marketplaces under the Affordable Care Act. Republican lawmakers responded to the findings by saying the marketplace mishandled calculations for federal insurance subsidies. Democrats responded with a call to look forward to the 2015 enrollment period, which starts in November, not back on the initially rocky period for 2014 enrollment.
The OIG report analyzed data from the federal ACA marketplace and nearly all state marketplaces from October to December 2013. The OIG said the federal marketplace was unable at that time to resolve 2.6 million of 2.9 million application inconsistencies because the eligibility system wasn't fully operational. These inconsistencies pertained to citizenship, income and status of employer-sponsored minimum essential coverage.
The OIG's audit, a review of internal controls in place on the federal marketplace and the marketplaces created by California and Connecticut, similarly found that the two states and the federal marketplace failed to enact controls to flag the use of inaccurate or fraudulent information on applicants for enrollment in qualified health plans.
The OIG in the report and audit called for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to develop and make public a plan for resolving the inconsistencies and to improve controls for identifying false information on applications.
More than 2 million application inconsistencies remained unresolved as of May, a spokesman for the CMS told Bloomberg BNA July 1.
The OIG also sent a letter to Congress, noting that these "are the first two reports in a series relating to operations of the marketplaces."
The OIG's letter also noted that it plans to test the marketplaces' procedures for determining applicants' eligibility for insurance affordability programs and the amounts of advance premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions.
The report and the audit, the OIG said in its letter to Congress, were in response to a mandate of the Continuing Appropriations Act of 2014—the funding agreement that ended the government shutdown of 2013.
House Republicans in May called for an investigation on how the Internal Revenue Service verified the income of applicants from the federal marketplace and demanded that Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew halt unverified insurance coverage subsidy payments under the ACA.
In a July 1 statement, Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, said the report "tells us that the administration was more concerned with appearances than getting anything in Obamacare done right."
"They've allowed millions of Americans to enroll in a system that may be handing them the wrong subsidies—too much or too little—and they've left taxpayers vulnerable to fraud," he said.
House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) said in a statement that the Obama administration "sent billions of taxpayer dollars out the door knowing that the administration will not be able to fully recuperate the money sent in error."
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), chairman of the HELP Committee, said in a July 1 statement that although the marketplace suffered from technical errors when it first opened, the HHS has since repaired them. "With the administration already improving marketplace operations, now is the time to look ahead," Harkin said. "Marketplace open enrollment for 2015 begins in November, so we should focus on ways to get even more Americans covered by quality, affordable health care this fall."
When it began collecting data for the report, the OIG said in its letter to Congress it requested access to income verification information provided to the federal and state marketplaces by the Internal Revenue Service to determine whether subsidies were ever granted unfairly. However, "a question arose as to whether this federal taxpayer information could be disclosed to us under the Internal Revenue Code provision that protects the privacy of taxpayer information," the OIG said.
The IRS granted the OIG permission to examine the income verification information only after the OIG had concluded its report. The OIG said it is "planning additional audit work" to examine the IRS information.
The OIG is also examining the accuracy of payments made to qualified health plans, information technology security at the marketplaces and contracting and management issues related to the federal marketplace and states' use of federal establishment grants, Katherine Harris, an OIG spokeswoman, told Bloomberg BNA in an e-mail July 1.
Neither the report nor the audit explicitly stated that subsidies were ever granted to applicants who didn't deserve them or that subsidies were miscalculated as a result of application errors. However, both the report and the audit reported that the marketplaces processed insurance applications containing possible errors and inconsistencies that have yet to be resolved.
The OIG's report, "Marketplaces Faced Early Challenges Resolving Inconsistencies with Applicant Data" (OEI-01-14-00180), found that the federal marketplace was unable to resolve most of the inconsistencies found on applications, which most commonly related to citizenship status and income.
Inconsistencies occurred, the report said, when the marketplaces were unable to verify self-attested applicant information with the data received through the federal data hub—the connection between the marketplaces and various federal databases, including those maintained by the IRS and the Department of Homeland Security—and other sources. Inconsistencies, the report said, don't necessarily indicate that an applicant provided inaccurate information or was enrolled in a plan or received financial assistance inappropriately.
However, the OIG said in the report, the marketplaces "must resolve inconsistencies to ensure that eligibility determinations for enrollment in QHPs [qualified health plans] and for insurance affordability programs are accurate. This will help ensure that only eligible applicants are enrolling in QHPs."
"Moreover, because applicants' eligibility for insurance affordability programs is based primarily on income, inconsistencies with income must be resolved to protect taxpayer funds," the OIG said.
The CMS told the OIG it is manually resolving the remaining inconsistencies and plans to have an automated system for resolving inconsistencies in place "later this summer."
The federal marketplace was unable to resolve 2.6 million of the 2.9 million—or roughly 89 percent—inconsistencies it found by January, the OIG said in the report. Nearly 1.3 million of those unresolved inconsistencies were related to applicants' citizen status, and more than 960,000 were related to applicants' income. Another 355,000 related to employer-sponsored minimum essential coverage.
The CMS told the OIG it is manually resolving the remaining inconsistencies and plans to have an automated system for resolving inconsistencies in place "later this summer."
CMS spokesman Aaron Albright told Bloomberg BNA in an e-mail July 1 that, as of the end of May, more than 2.1 million unresolved application inconsistencies remained. Roughly 1.2 million of those unresolved inconsistencies are related to applicants' income and roughly 461,000 were related to citizenship status, he said. Another 500,000 have "immigration inconsistencies," he said.
In a statement, Albright said the "CMS is working expeditiously to resolve inconsistencies to make sure individuals and families get the tax credits and coverage they deserve and that no one receives a benefit they shouldn't."
He added, "We are actively reaching out to consumers to provide additional information that supports their application for coverage and verifying their information every day."
Applicants with inconsistencies are contacted via e-mail, mail and phone, the CMS said. The CMS can terminate an enrollment, if necessary.
The CMS said that a data inconsistency doesn't mean there's a problem with enrollment and typically means the applicant's information is more up-to-date than the information on federal databases.
The OIG audit, "Not All Internal Controls Implemented By The Federal, California, And Connecticut Marketplaces Were Effective In Ensuring That Individuals Were Enrolled In Qualified Health Plans According To Federal Requirements" (A-19-04-01000), provided "an early snapshot" of the effectiveness of the marketplaces' internal controls for determining the eligibility of applicants for enrollment in QHPs.
The audit found that not all internal controls implemented by the federal marketplace, or in the marketplaces in California and Connecticut, were effective at verifying applicant's eligibility for enrollment. Specifically, the controls for validating Social Security numbers, citizenship status and minimum essential coverage through non-employer-sponsored insurance were found be ineffective, the audit said.
The federal marketplace in particular was deficient in establishing processes for validating Social Security numbers and resolving data inconsistencies on enrollment applications, the audit said.
The OIG in the audit said that the presence of deficiencies in controls for verification doesn't mean that applicants were unfairly granted enrollment in QHPs or that subsidies were granted for applications incorrectly.
The OIG, in the audit, recommended that the CMS and the agencies that oversee the California and Connecticut marketplaces, Covered California and Access Health CT, take immediate action to improve internal controls related to verifying the identity of applicants and determining applicants' eligibility for enrollment in QHPs and insurance affordability programs, such as Medicaid.
The OIG recommended that the CMS install an "identity proofing" system for all applicants and develop a system for enrollees to report when their application information changes. However, the CMS, in its response to the OIG audit, disagreed with this recommendation.
The CMS said it does verify the identity of applications against various federal databases and validates Social Security numbers and other pertinent data when determining an applicant's eligibility for federal subsidies or affordability programs, such as Medicaid.
"Identity verification is used to provide assurance that application filers are who they say they are for purposes of applying for enrollment in a QHP through the Marketplace and for insurance affordability programs, and for obtaining and using eligibility data from third-party data sources," the CMS said in its response to the OIG audit. "It is important to note that identity proofing is distinct from the eligibility verification process for determining eligibility for enrollment in a QHP through the Marketplace or for insurance affordability programs."
In the report, the OIG recommended that the CMS develop and make public a plan to resolve its backlog of application inconsistencies. The report also recommended that CMS conduct additional oversight of state marketplaces to ensure that they are resolving their own application inconsistencies.
Although four states—Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon and Vermont—reported having unresolved application inconsistencies of their own to the OIG, data on unresolved inconsistencies among state marketplaces are limited, the OIG said in the report.

The new Pontiac G6 coupe commercial is one of my favorites, perfectly capturing the essence of a sporty coupe in the music and visuals. For once, you can actually find out what the music is, as Pontiac now has a music section on their website. There is even a link to buy the song at Virgin Digital. For all the bad news about GM, they do get some things right.

Bon Appétit, Washington
Washington is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city with a broad range of restaurants for every taste and pocketbook. For those who are planning their trip in advance or who may have access to a computer after they arrive, we strongly recommend the restaurant guides maintained by The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/eg/section/restaurants/index.html) and The Washingtonian (http://www.washingtonian.com/dining/default.asp). Both guides cross reference restaurants by neighborhood, cuisine, and cost. Neighborhoods near the convention hotels include Woodley Park, Cleveland Park, Adams Morgan, and Dupont Circle, but given the convenience of the Metro few neighborhoods are entirely off limits. This includes most of Washington, D.C., as well as suburban neighborhoods in Bethesda, Maryland, and Alexandria and Arlington, Virginia, among others.
Washington includes many world-class (and expensive!) restaurants where, if your budget allows it, you can have a truly memorable dining experience. If you plan such a meal, we urge you to consult the recommendations of Washington Post restaurant critic Tom Sietsema or The Washingtonian's 100 Best Restaurants (see above). However, this article focuses on restaurants near the convention hotel.
Woodley Park (the immediate environs)
One may begin in the busy block directly across from the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, where a variety of restaurants clamor for your trade, including the Lebanese Taverna Restaurant (2641 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-265-8681), a popular, moderately priced, Middle Eastern café, and Medaterra (2614 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-797-0400, Mediterranean), also popular and also Middle Eastern, broadly construed. Next door is Jandara Restaurant (2606 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-387-8876, Thai), moderately priced and a fun atmosphere. Across the street is Petits Plats (2653 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-518-0018), a pleasant, moderately priced French restaurant. Other choices include the Afghan Grill (2309 Calvert Street NW, 202-234-5095); Chipotle (2600 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-299-9111), featuring Tex-Mex fare; and the inexpensive Mr. Chen's Organic Chinese Cuisine (2604 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-797-9668).
Less expensive restaurants in the same area include Mama Ayesha (1967 Calvert St. NW, 202-232-5431, Lebanese); Saigon Gourmet (2635 Connecticut Ave. NW), Taste of India (2621 Connecticut Ave. NW), Thai Flavor (2605 Connecticut Ave. NW); Tono Sushi (2605 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-332-7300, Japanese) and Murphy's of DC (2609 24th St. NW, 202-462-7171, burgers).
Cleveland Park (north on Connecticut)
Heading north on Connecticut past the zoo, one finds a large number of very good restaurants, although some are fairly expensive. The latter are very good, but don't expect your university per diem to cover the tab.
Among our (relatively) moderately priced favorites are Ardeo (3311 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-244-6750, American); Bardeo (3309 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-244-6550, tapas); Indique (3512-14 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-244-6600); Lavandou Restaurant (3321 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-966-3002, French, verging on the more expensive); Yanni's Greek Taverna (3500 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-362-8871) and Palena (3529 Connecticut Ave. NW; 202-537-9250, American).
Less expensive choices in Cleveland Park include Sala Thai (3507 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-237-2777); Nam-Viet & Pho-79 (3419 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-237-1015); Spices Asian Restaurant & Sushi Bar (3333-A Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-686-3833) and, for good pizza, Vace Italian Delicatessen (3315 Connecticut Ave NW, 202-363-1999) and 2 Amys (3715 Macomb St. NW, 202-885-5700, Neapolitan pizza).
Adams Morgan
A short walk east along Calvert, the street that runs between the two hotels, brings you to the heart of Adams Morgan. The neighborhood is a lively and dynamic place with an extraordinarily diverse range of bars and a few good restaurants, including many featuring inexpensive but excellent Ethiopian, Middle Eastern, and Latin American food.
Grill from Ipanema (1858 Columbia Rd. NW, 202-986-0757, Brazilian); La Fourchette (2429 18th St. NW, 202-332-3077, French); The Little Fountain Cafe2339 18th St. NW, 202-462-8100, American); Meskerem Ethiopian Restaurant (2434 18th St. NW, 202-462-4100, one of Washington's oldest and best Ethiopian restaurants); Perry's Restaurant & Catering (1811 Columbia Rd. NW, 202-234-6218, American/Japanese); and San Marco (2305 18th St. NW, 202-483-9300, Italian). Cashion's Eat Place (1819 Columbia Rd. NW, 202-797-1819, nouvelle southern) is one of the neighborhood's best restaurants.
Among the many less expensive restaurants in Adams Morgan are Addis Ababa (2106 18th St. NW, 202-232-6092); The Diner (2453 18th St. NW, 202-232-8800, what the name implies); Dukem Ethiopian Market (1114 U St. NW, 202-667-8735); Mixtec (792 Columbia Rd. NW, 202-332-1011, Tex-Mex); and Pasta Mia (1790 Columbia Rd. NW, 202-328-9114, homemade pasta with an extraordinarily long wait).
Dupont Circle
South on Connecticut, one stop on the Red Line or a brisk walk if weather permits, is Dupont Circle, a lively area packed with more than 100 restaurants and bars.
Among those that are moderately priced (again, by D.C. standards) are Al Tiramisu (2014 P St. NW, 202-467-4466); Bacchus (1827 Jefferson Pl. NW, 202-785-0734, Middle Eastern); Bistrot du Coin (1738 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-234-6969, French); Etrusco1606 20th St. NW, 202-667-0047, Italian); Firefly Restaurant (1310 New Hampshire Ave. NW, 202-861-1310, new American); Gabriel Restaurant (2121 P St. NW, in the Radisson Barcelo Hotel, 202-956-6690, Latin American); Grillfish (1200 New Hampshire Ave. NW, 202-331-7310, seafood); and Johnny's Half Shell (2002 P St. NW, 202-296-2021, seafood). Malaysia Kopitiam (1827 M St. NW, 202-833-6232, pan Asian); Meiwah (1200 New Hampshire Ave., 202-833-2888, Chinese); and The Melting Pot (1220 19th St. NW, 202-857-0777, fondu) are fun and inexpensive. Be treated to waiters singing show tunes at Mimi's (2120 P St. NW, 202-464-6464, bistro fare). One can't go wrong at any of the following: Penang (1837 M St NW, 202-822-8773, Malaysian); Pesce (2016 P St. NW, 202-466-3474, seafood); Raku (1900 Q St. NW, 202-265-7258, Asian); Savino's Cafe and Lounge (1 Dupont Circle, 202-872-1122, Italian); Sushi Taro (1503 17th St. NW, 202-462-8999, Japanese); Thaiphoon (2011 S St. NW, 202-667-3505, Thai); Vivo! (1509 17th St. NW, 202-986-2627, Italian); or Wazuri (1836 18th St. NW, 202-797-4930, African). Nora (2132 Florida Ave. NW, 202-462-5143, organic) and Asia Nora (2213 M St. NW, 202-797-4860, organic Asian) are primarily organic restaurants. Newly opened Dupont Grill (1500 New Hampshire Ave. NW, 202-939-8596, American) has a great atmosphere and moderately priced entrees.
Less expensive restaurants include Annie's Paramount Steak House (1609 17th St. NW, 202-232-0395); Cafe Citron (1343 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-530-8844, Mexican); Cafe Midi Cuisine (1635 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-234-3090, Mediterranean); Caravan Grill (1825 18th St. NW, 202-518-0444, Middle Eastern); Chipotle (Tex-Mex, with two Dupont Circle locations, at 1629 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-387-8261, and at 1837 M St. NW, 202-466-4104); City Lights of China (1731 Connecticut Ave. NW, 202-265-6688); Firehook Bakery & Coffee House (1909 Q St NW, 202-588-9296, for breakfast or lunch); Himalayan Grill (1805 18th St. NW, 202-986-5124, Indian); Pizzeria Paradiso (2029 P St. NW, 202-223-1245); and Sala Thai (2016 P St. NW, 202-872-1144).

I love these cute valentine s'mores from Williams Sonoma:
And if you have ever tried one of their s'mores you know they are worth every penny. But if you don't want to spend your pennies on s'mores, you could at least steal the cute x and o idea for a treat of your own. If you don't have a cookie cutter you could use a sqeeze bottle and melted chocolate to draw Xs and Os on wax paper and then use sandwich some ice cream in between!

Reducing the impact of coaching on selection into medicine
Coaching to enter medical school first attracted research attention in 2008.1 Results indicated that just over half of those shortlisted for interview had received commercial coaching for the Undergraduate Medical and Health Sciences Admissions Test (UMAT), which is used to select interview candidates. Evidence indicates that students who had received UMAT coaching subsequently show significantly poorer academic performance throughout their medical degree compared with those who had not been coached.2 This suggests that UMAT scores achieved after coaching may not represent true ability to do medicine, or that students who rely on coaching cope less well in academic environments where coaching is not appropriate.
A study of Year 12 high school students in New South Wales and Victoria showed that coaching had no impact on the UMAT sections that assess problem solving or understanding people, but coached students had slightly higher scores on the non-verbal test of logical reasoning.3 Similar results were obtained in a New Zealand study, which involved students who had been coached by the MedEntry company.4 Even though these students believed that their UMAT performance would be improved, this belief was misplaced as their UMAT results were no better than those of uncoached students.
Last year, the University…

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'HTC Rezound' started by cp24eva, Dec 12, 2011.
Wednesday could bring U.S. ban on HTC's Android devices
It would seem Apple hates the competition. Apple did the same thing with their OS. Steal the idea from someone else and made it better. Other companies can't do that now. Or can they? Seems HTC got away with one. Dunno what patent they speak of, but as long as it improves the phone I don't care. lol.
Big companies always want to find a way to thwart the competitions progress. Probably only to an extent to delay then if they can't totally cut them off. But geez Apple....welcome competition. Sometimes they annoy the livin daylights out of me. I own some apple products and they are great, but DANG
Let's keep the comments family friendly please. Thanks

How more simple can it be? It's all about money-PERIOD! Not fairness, not laws, not anything else. Apple has more cash in their pockets and will do everything to crush its competitors.
That was my bad...excessive language and all. Apple sucks...whole situation sucks. Hope HTC doesn't drop support on it's phones over this, and dang mod...you could've left the breathing joke...that was kinda good...
Haha. I know right. The joke was alright!
Will I get my money back since I bought a thunderbolt and am no longer allowed to LEGALLY use it? This may be my way to get rid of this piece of trash that apparently no one else wants either I can't even sell or trade it.

Bring Me the Horizon Invite Actor Jay Baruchel Onstage to Jam 'Antivist' in Montreal
Bring Me the Horizon had a surprise guest with them in Montreal Monday night (Feb. 24) as actor Jay Baruchel joined the band midway through their performance of 'Antivist' to rage with the band.
The band was rocking a particularly brutal version of 'Antivist' for the feverish Montreal audience when frontman Oli Sykes invited Baruchel to the stage and told the crowd to "give it up for Jay."
In the video, shot by Rock Sound TV, Sykes wraps his arm around Baruchel and pulls him to the front of the stage as he belts out the song. After pogoing around the stage together, eventually they separate and you can hear Baruchel singing along with Sykes.
Baruchel, who was raised in Montreal, has starred in such films as 'This Is the End,' 'She's Out of My League' and 'How to Train Your Dragon.' He also had supporting roles in 'Million Dollar Baby,' 'Tropic Thunder' and 'Knocked Up.' Baruchel can currently be seen in the new 'RoboCop' remake.

From 'What's new at Ziff Davis'
Just as you begin to feel a little more secure ........... Along comes something else thats coming through the filters without being picked up.Perhaps the past few relatively attack-free months were just a lull. It feels that way today, coming back from a quick few days off, as I scan our headlines. A chilling new advance seems to be taking place. Eschewing more popular schemes for delivering files, malware writers have seized on a little-known but widely used scheme for downloading media files. It has proved quite popular. Our story details how these new viruses are bypassing virtually every anti-virus product on the market, and what you can do to stop them.
And here you find a knock on effect of the Spam with regard to DNS servers.Anti-virus vendors have acknowledged the presence of viruses delivered as .rar files in the past few weeks and are scrambling to develop tools to identify and eradicate the malware.
The problem as written, is that the users are gradually accepting that .zip files are a no no, butSo, no surpises there thenthe novelty of the .rar format is enough to fool some users.
