New Health Law Takes Hold
New Health Law Takes Hold
By Maya Rhodan
NNPA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON.D.C. (NNPA) – Since the Affordable Care Act became law on March 22, 2010, many changes have occurred within the American healthcare system.
· About 71 million Americans received access to free preventative care treatments such as wellness visits, mammograms, and flu shots.
· More than 3.1 million uninsured young adults were able to stay on their parents insurance until they turn 26.
· In excess of 6 million seniors and people with disabilities have saved billions on prescription drugs as a result of expanded Medicare coverage.
Some of biggest provisions, however, including the Health insurance Marketplace that allows people to search for and buy quality insurance programs that cater to their needs, haven't been implemented yet.
That program rolls out on Oct. 1.
For three years the Affordable Care Act has been redefining how the government handles health care. Yet, according to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation study, millions of the people it was put in place to help don't know how it will affect them.
According to the March 2013 Public Opinion on Health Care Issues Tracking Poll, not only do 40 percent of Americans report holding an unfavorable view of the law, 57 percent of Americans say they don't understand its impact.
The most unaware—the un-insured and people with low incomes, the two groups the law was enacted to help most.
Sixty-seven percent of the uninsured and 68 percent of those with incomes below $40,000 do not understand how the law will affect them.
And that's despite the efforts of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which launched the site healthcare.gov in July 2010 to "provide unprecedented transparency into the health care marketplace."
The lack of knowledge could be a result of political affiliation. According to the Kaiser Report, about 68 percent of Republicans view the law unfavorably along with 45 percent of Independents. Fifty-eight percent of Democrats have a favorable view of the law as well as 31 percent of Independents.
It could also be a lack of access to information – about 20 percent of Americans don't use the Internet, according to a 2012 Pew research study.
Regardless of what people know and how they feel Anton Gunn, a director at the Department of Health and Human Services, says the groundbreaking health care reform law will affect the poor and uninsured.
"The first thing they need to know is that they'll get better access to care and they'll be able to get coverage," Gunn says.
He notes that many African Americans who don't currently have insurance will benefit from the reform, notably single males who don't qualify for Medicaid and can't afford private insurance.
"Because of the Affordable Care Act, they'll be able to buy insurance and in some states they'll be able to get on a Medicaid program," Gunn says. By 2014, nearly all people under 65 who make up to $15,000 per year will be eligible. "The most important fact is people will have options."
For African Americans specifically, those impending options mean 3.8 million uninsured members of the African American community will gain coverage by 2016.
Gunn also promises greater access to information in the coming months, including
The Affordable Care Act will also continue to address the need for medically underserved communities to gain access to health care. Medically underserved areas are disproportionately rural and urban.
"Across the country there is a significant need for primary care services and very few options for care," Amy Simmons, the director of communications for the National Association of Community Health Centers based in Bethesda, Md., said via email. "We know that over 500 communities submitted applications for a new health center in FY2011 that went unfunded."
This past Thursday, Congress approved legislation that provides $3.1 billion in funding for community health centers in 2013, representing a $300 million increase in funding.
The funding will allow health centers to expand access to primary care across the nation and the training of community navigators who will be certified to have people access both plans and benefits.
"It won't just be online," Gunn says. "Information will be available in person as well. Our goal is to make it as local and available as possible."

For a long time I and others have argued that the climate campaign's crusade for carbon constraints (how's that for alliteration?*) is failing. Between the total farce of the Kyoto protocol (the climate diplomacy equivalent to the Kellogg-Briand Pact) and the collapse of cap and trade in the last Congress (the climate policy equivalent of wage and price controls), I think it is time to change verb tenses on this subject, from "is failing" to "has failed."
The latest news item out of Europe today offers the reason for the shift. The EU is backing off its carbon tax for the airlines, at least partially:
EU To Suspend Aviation Carbon Tax
Brussels – The European Union is set to partially suspend its controversial airlines emissions tax scheme, officials said Tuesday, as part of a bid to push international critics into reaching a global aviation deal.
Since last year, all airlines landing and taking off from EU airports have been liable for their carbon dioxide emissions, a move that infuriated countries such as the United States, China, Russia and India. . .
In the past, the EU had justified its decision to proceed unilaterally on aviation emissions by pointing to 15 unsuccessful years of pushing for a global agreement.
I especially like this sentence:
"It is now up to ICAO to deliver," said Irish Environment Minister Phil Hogan, whose country holds the EU's rotating presidency. "I hope this … derogation will serve as an incentive in the negotiations."
Yeah, suspending a hated tax is just what you do when you want to provide "incentives" to negotiate. It is possible the tax will survive at the end of the day. But this is pretty lame.
* Of course, perhaps the best alliteration would be "climate campaign's crusade for carbon constraints and punishment," or, CCCCCP. Heh.

Evelyn Pringle June 2009
From 1998 through 2007, there were 8,700 trips by Department of Defense personnel paid for by the healthcare industry, with a price tag of more than $10 million, according to a new report titled, "Pentagon Travel," by the Center for Public Integrity.
In a joint project with Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, the Center reviewed travel disclosure forms filed by DOD personnel, and found the medical industry was the largest sponsor of free travel, accounting for about 40% of all trips.
The sponsors included drug and device makers as well as health foundations and trade groups often funded by those companies.
"Drug companies and device manufacturers spent about $1.7 million for more than 1,400 trips taken by DOD doctors, medical researchers, pharmacists, and other health care employees over the decade, creating relationships that pose serious conflict of interest issues, according to medical ethics experts," the Center said in a June 9, 2009 summary of the study on its website titled, "Medical Industry Showers DOD with Free Travel."
"Of special interest to the industry were DOD employees who prescribe, purchase, or recommend the use of drugs or medical equipment," the summary notes.
DOD's pharmacy system employees, who can influence which drugs are selected at base pharmacies, took more than 400 trips, worth over $400,000, from medical industry sources, according to the Center's analysis.
The review found drug companies paid more than $115,000 for trips to destinations that included Orlando, Las Vegas, San Diego, New York City, New Orleans, Paris, and Rome.
"They pay for them because it works," says Thomas Murray, president of the Hastings Center, a nonpartisan bioethics research institute, in the summary. "Trust me, their marketing departments are paying very close attention to cost benefit analysis for these kinds of gifts."
Shahram Ahari worked as a sales representative for Eli Lilly in 1999 and 2000, and described how he used free meals, trips, and unrestricted grants to subtly seduce civilian physicians into prescribing Lilly's drugs.
The strategy, he explained, is to make friends with doctors and pharmacists to get them talking about the drugs or devices, and then reward them with additional perks for prescribing the drugs.
"The return on dividends is phenomenal," Ahari said in the summary. "If it costs them a thousand dollars for a dinner, that's a [patient's drug] payment for one month."
"If they fly you on the Concord to Paris for five grand, even if they get one patient out of it, it's a lifetime of cash," he pointed out.
From fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2006, the Pentagon's prescription drug spending more than tripled from $1.6 billion to $6.2 billion, according to an April, 2008 Government Accountability Office report.
The head of the DOD's pharmaceutical program, Rear Admiral Thomas McGinnis, banned his own staff from going on company-paid trips, but other military pharmacy staff took about 400 trips, the Center points out.
Drug spending hit $6.8 billion in 2008, said McGinnis, and "the GAO expects DOD pharmaceutical spending to reach $15 billion by 2015," according to the summary.

The Bay Area may not be the ideal home for Carrie Prejean but chances are we are going to start seeing her face a lot around town.
The controversial conservative beauty queen's fiance signed a contract to join the Oakland Raiders.
The team signed free agent quarterback Kyle Boller on Thursday to compete with former No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell, who lost his job midway through last season because of ineffectiveness.
The Raiders also have fan favorite Bruce Gradkowski and the veteran Charlie Frye, who started three games last season, on the roster.
How Boller fits into the mix is not immediately evident. The team announced the move shortly after coach Tom Cable addressed the media about the upcoming draft.
Boller never lived up to his billing after being drafted 19th overall by Baltimore in 2003. He started nine games as a rookie and all 16 the following season. But because of injuries and ineffectiveness he eventually lost his job and played last season in St. Louis.
Boller is familiar with new Raiders offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, who was the quarterbacks coach in Baltimore in Boller's final season with the Ravens. He did not play at all in 2008 because of a shoulder injury.
The former Cal star has made 46 starts in his career, throwing 50 interceptions and only 48 touchdown passes. He has completed 56.8 percent of his passes and has a career passer rating of 70.6.
The Raiders are looking for better play out of their quarterbacks this season and were linked to trade talks with Philadelphia for Donovan McNabb before he was dealt to Washington.
Russell had a disappointing third year in the NFL. He completed 48.8 percent of his passes, with three touchdowns, 11 interceptions and a 50.0 passer rating that was the lowest in the NFL in 11 years before losing his job to Gradkowski.
Russell has been participating in offseason workouts but Cable would not get into details about how he has looked.
"He's here. He's working," Cable said. "He's doing everything that everybody else is doing, has been here since the start of the second week. Has been doing it like everybody else. That's all I can tell you."
Gradkowski provided an immediate spark after replacing Russell, leading Oakland to comeback victories in two of his first three starts. He got hurt midway through his fourth start, suffering a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee and a partially torn MCL in his right knee, and did not play the rest of the season.
He completed 54.7 percent of his passes with six touchdowns and three interceptions on the season.
Frye started the final three games last season, completing 60.9 percent of his passes with one touchdown and four interceptions.

Michaan's Fine Art, Furniture and Decorative Arts Auction Friday, June 12, 2009
The June 12 event to be presented by Michaan's Auctions of Alameda, CA, is sure to be a crowd pleaser. More than 260 lots of fine art, furniture and decorative art will cross the auction block this day.
One of the notable Victorian furniture items is a wonderful mid 19th century American Rocco Revival rosewood étagère cabinet attributed to J. & J. Meeks, New York (est. $35,000 – 40,000). The rectangular glazed and paneled case of this cabinet is surmounted by an arched pediment centering a carved acanthus leaf over a cartouche-shaped mirror plate, along with a conforming-shaped shelf, over an oval mirror plate enclosed by corner quadrant panels. The piece includes two graduated spandrel shelves raised on tapered pilaster form stiles on a shaped platform cabinet. The cabinet has a drawer over twin hexagonal shaped mirror plates with these being flanked by twin sets of two graduated spandrel shelves raised on pilaster feet headed by an apron frieze. This commanding cabinet stands an impressive 83in tall.
Two ebonized and upholstered side chairs (est. $2500 to 3500) attributed to Herter Brothers are also sure to garner their share of attention. The first chair has a scroll carved lozenge-shaped crestrail consisting of a center Egyptian female mask panel. This panel is then adorned by two sunflower panels over a rectilinear form splat with a cat and twin floral panels. The other side chair is dressed in tufted upholstered and has a hexagonal lozenge-shaped crestrail over a conforming carved splat with a central cat motif. Both chairs have shaped seats over carved roundel rails raised on tapering legs and India comb rubber casters.
An attributed Thomas Brooks marble top center table (est. $5000 to 7000) having a beaded frieze with a carved foliate apron also boasts floral shaped trestle supports ending in scrolled feet on casters. The inlaid parlor cabinet (est. $6000 to $8000) also from this era has its share of admirers. Decorated with gilt painting, trailing floral vines, and carved acanthus leaves cornices, the cabinet is further enhanced by an inlaid Renaissance grotesque mask of a man.

The artwork offered will impress. Who could resist the George Inness (American 1825-1894), framed oil on canvas, "Pastoral Scene with Church" estimated at $30,000 to 50,000? This image graces the auction catalog's cover. "Minister Sewell's Bathing Place, Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Sept (18)98," by David Howard Hitchcock (Hawaii/California, 1841-1943), a framed oil on board (9 x 12¾in) is estimated to bring between $10,000 and $15,000.
Sterling will also take center stage with a 1930s Jensen style seven piece tea and coffee service (est. $7000 to 9000) enhanced with ivory mounts being presented for bids along with a nice assortment of other coffee pots and tea sets. The lone water pitcher to sell this day is a winner. With its appealing pear form with a flaring helmet shaped rim, this International La Paglia sterling pitcher (est. $3000 to 4000) has a lovely openwork ring foot of alternating spherical and twin chased flowerheads.
Tiffany Studios lighting and Art Glass examples make up a dozen lots offered by Michaan Auctions at this June event. Of special interest is the Tiffany Studios bronze floor lamp which is comprised of a cylindrical standard cast with a repeating lotus flower atop which sits an inverted bell-form shade with a band of reciprocal masks. This lamp is valued at $4000 to 5000.
Other collections to sell include a grouping of Continental porcelain, Russian and Continental silver and Objects du Vertu, a variety of 20th century American decorative arts, French furniture and decorative arts as well as other items.

John, Nice the way the Meeks étagère blows up w/ 2 clicks to a large format that shows the details well – you can even see the grain of the Rosewood well. The credenza does not & most other posted photos don't enlarge nearly as well. Is it possible to post all photos to enlarge well like the étagère does?

Could the theater artist of 2012 really be … Samuel Beckett?
Well, the 1969 Nobel Prize winner had stiff competition this year from Anton Chekhov, dead for more than a hundred years but more alive than ever onstage. Chekhov's early play "Ivanov" received a sensational Bart DeLorenzo production at the Odyssey Theatre in April, and I caught "Uncle Vanya" twice last summer in New York, once at Soho Rep with a cast of offbeat luminaries directed by Sam Gold and once at New York City Center in a Sydney Theatre Company production starring the preternaturally luminous Cate Blanchett.
Quarrel as you might with these Chekhov interpretations, I wouldn't have missed them for the world. They were life-infusing. And it wasn't just the consoling nature of Chekhov's gently unconsoling vision. It was aesthetic joy. DeLorenzo's staging, among its many pleasures, spectacularly showcased the depth and versatility of L.A.'s pool of auteur-friendly stage actors.
But the two most memorable productions of 2012 for me were the Center Theatre Group's Beckett offerings: "Waiting for Godot" at the Mark Taper Forum and "Krapp's Last Tape" at the Kirk Douglas Theatre. Success in both cases was achieved by a felicitous pairing of play and player.
"Godot" mined the theatrical wisdom of its two expert interpreters, Alan Mandell and Barry McGovern. You'll have to wait a long time before encountering an Estragon and Vladimir as capable of balancing the clowning and philosophizing as these two. "Krapp's Last Tape," a touring production from Dublin's Gate Theatre, provided what seemed to me a definitive production of this solo work, thanks to the exquisite tragicomic sensitivity of John Hurt, an actor whose creased face is a poem about time every bit as expressive as Beckett's play.
Revivals held sway in 2012, but the best of these weren't nostalgically looking back — they were rooted in a theatrical present that felt utterly fresh. David Cromer's austere staging of "Our Town" at the Broad Stage with Helen Hunt refamiliarized audiences with a Thornton Wilder classic that is hardly as sentimental as amateur and student productions have led us to believe.
Mike Nichols' Broadway production of "Death of a Salesman" may have been uneven, but the climactic scene between Philip Seymour Hoffman's Willy and Andrew Garfield's searing Biff was without question the most emotional experience I had in the theater all year. This father-son combination found the anguished heart of Arthur Miller's everyman tragedy, opening the floodgates for a catharsis that was a little embarrassing to undergo in public but turned out to be just what the doctor ordered.
Best of 2012: Movies | TV | Pop music | Jazz | Video Games | Art | Theater | Dance | Classical music
Broadway's best revival this year, however, is the current Steppenwolf Theatre Company production of Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" on Broadway starring Amy Morton as Martha and Tracy Letts as the most complete George I've seen. Letts' playwriting intelligence clearly guided his portrayal, and his work with Morton, under the direction of Pam MacKinnon, brought a stinging realism to roles that can be played for camp.
Of course there was new writing to celebrate. Tarell Alvin McCraney's "In the Red and Brown Water" at the Fountain Theatre gets my vote for production of the year. Bruce Norris' "Clybourne Park" filled the Mark Taper Forum with its querulous intelligence and prickly humor — bold moves given that the subject concerned racial attitudes. And I was happy to make the acquaintance of playwright Samuel D. Hunter, whose "The Whale" at New York's Playwrights Horizons and earlier work "A Bright New Boise" at Rogue Machine revealed a promising talent growing steadily more assured.
Yet it was the dramatic poets of yesterday that made the deepest impression. Their plays earned their glorious posterity by telling truths that never grow old in language that still has the power to startle.

Preventing Diabetes
Keeping weight in check, being active, and eating a healthy diet can prevent most cases of type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes used to be called adult onset diabetes, and is striking people at younger and younger ages with rates skyrocketing globally. The good news is that it's highly preventable.
- Keeping weight in check and being physically active can help prevent most cases of the disease.
- Choosing a diet rich in whole grains and healthy fats adds even more protection—skip the refined grains and sugary soda.
- Limiting red meat and avoiding processed meat — including bacon, hot dogs, and deli meats — can also help lower diabetes risk.
- Go for healthier protein sources instead, such as nuts, beans, poultry, and fish.
Here are five quick tips to help prevent diabetes:
- Put exercise first—and put television last.Regular exercise by itself can cut diabetes risk. Choose things you enjoy and do them every day. Too much television-watching ups diabetes risk—an increase of 20 percent for every 2 hours you watch. So trade some of your sit-time for fit-time.
- Try to keep weight in check. Being a healthy weight is the best thing you can do to lower your risk of diabetes.
- Choose healthy fats and proteins, and skip the red and processed meat. A diet rich in mono and polyunsaturated fats can help lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease. Canola oil and olive oil are great choices, as are the fats in avocados, nuts, and seeds.
- Focus on plant foods. A diet high in vegetables and whole grains can keep blood sugar and appetite in check (1). Choose a good variety of whole grain foods prepared in interesting ways.
- Cut back on refined carbs and sugary drinks. White bread, white rice, white pasta and potatoes cause quick increases in blood sugar, as do sugary soft drinks, fruit punch, and fruit juice. Over time, eating lots of these refined carbohydrates and sugar may increase your risk of type 2 diabetes. To lower your risk, switch to whole grains and skip the sugar — especially the sugary drinks.

Sebastian Janikowski kicked field goals of 37 and 44 yards as the Raiders took an 11-point lead into the fourth quarter.
Janikowski sets the Raiders club record with six field, goals, breaking the record he held (three times) along with Jeff Jaeger.
The Raiders have moved the ball at times against Chicago but have had issues with pass protection throughout the game.
Janikowski's field goals are from distances of 40, 47, 42, 19, 37 and 44 yards. He is 20-for-21 on field goal attempts this season with the only miss coming from 56 yards.

Sean Francis' Favorite Techdirt Posts Of The Week
from the change-takes-time deptNew Kickstarter Rules Make Sense In Principle, But Raise Big Questions In Practice
Having been involved in the creation and success of a few high-profile Kickstarter projects myself, I had a vested interest in this piece. I love the ideology behind crowd-funding, and I've been following the evolution of the Kickstarter platform for several years.
The site exploded in a very short time and is growing more culturally relevant by the second, but this piece reaffirmed my belief in a few core concepts that creators, backers, and the public at large MUST understand for continued maximum awesomeness:
- With Amanda Palmer's "Theatre Is Evil" campaign, we were fortunate in that we'd already run two successful projects. We'd been able to educate the fans and journey with them on both the MEANING of crowd-funding an album, but also the nuances and hiccups in the production of tangible rewards. But that is not something most projects are afforded. Kickstarter is interweaving itself in the public lexicon QUICKLY, but it is of the utmost importance that as it spiderwebs outside of the niche market (tabletop gamers, tech nerds, comic aficionados, music lovers, etc) into the world that people understand WHAT IT IS and HOW IT WORKS. They even highlight that information, but people seem to overlook it.
- Despite the best intentions, human error will rear its ugly head at the least convenient moment. I received a backer update just today that apologized for things going astray. That's fine, just remember to communicate with your backers (potential and otherwise) and keep them involved in the process their money went towards.
- Kickstarter is not just for unknowns, nor are you "begging"…and while I've seen those stigmas falling away, I've seen another (potentially more detrimental one) take their place:
- Backing a project is not a "donation" nor are you pledging towards a "charity". A few months ago, a friend and I were discussing Cards Against Humanity and the common misconception amongst our peers that they'd been part of a pledge drive of some sort when they supported the Kickstarter.
- The Kickstarter model will thrive on innovation, not those who use others as a blueprint and perpetuate stagnant and predictable projects. The rule changes most certainly could add hindrance to some project's potential successes, but as Leigh pointed out, there are also some "loopholes and anomalies". I think that might inadvertently be advantageous to success. By being forced to think outside the box and work out a reward system that is unique to the project, we'll all benefit from the creativity that rises to the top.
In all honesty, I'd begun to grown weary of Netflix. Not inasmuch as that I didn't believe in the product, but as time's gone on, competition's grown, and licensing deals have gotten stickier, I've feared for the service's ability to continue to deliver something worth shelling out for month-to-month. I'm as excited as can be for the return of (NEW!!) "Arrested Development" but I've come to find I stopped visiting the site short of evening's where I wanted to go on a bender with Gordon Ramsay.
And then Disney came back.
As anyone — especially those who've read Neal Gabler's Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination or seen one of a slew of documentaries that litter cable TV at four in the morning — can attest, the company is founded on a series of principles that brew a brilliant stew of marketing, strategy, and execution. There are missteps, but there are also forward-thinking acquisitions and victories aplenty.
I don't so much care that I can stream The Nightmare Before Christmas on Netflix Instant right now. This isn't about that to me. To borrow an anecdote from Wayne Gretzky (recently co-opted by Kevin Smith), Disney sees where the puck is going. Or they're at least going to damn-well try to make sure it heads that way. If they're throwing themselves behind Netflix, it gives me a renewed faith in how things might unfold.
Why Copyright Shouldn't Be Considered Property... And Why A Return To 1790 Copyright May Be Desirable
This article is worth digging into if only for the wealth of thoughtful (and amusing) discussion and debate taking place in the Reader Comments. I'm looking forward to reading Brito's book, and though I expect I'll disagree with some of it, the concept of "intellectual privilege" versus "intellectual property" captured my imagination. This article — and the response to it — have had me reevaluating quite a few of my core beliefs when it comes to copyright, law, and ways in which artistry could (should?) happen in years to come.

It's almost 2013. I really hoped the sense of entitlement (and rally cries behind it) would be on a down slope. But alas, it hasn't subsided, and likely will not for a long time to come. Maybe I shouldn't feed the trolls, maybe I shouldn't waste brain-space worrying about the people who just DON'T GET IT, but I feel like the negative impact is a real setback. There are thoughtful and forward-thinking people at HBO, and Apple, and [insert random major record label], and thousands of other businesses big and small… and sometimes, shit just takes time. Or doesn't work out exactly how you and your friends might want it to.
I don't disagree, there's a LOT of evidence out there as to how people are consuming (and wish to consume) their media. It's all changing by the second, and that is BEAUTIFUL. The future is exciting to me, that's why I do what I do, but we collectively need to be patient and forgiving as it sometimes takes time to work itself out. Use your voice, but have a dialog. That means you've also got to listen, and understand that there are things that you aren't privy to which comprise some of the choices you're railing against. I don't mean to get preachy, but I truly believe good things come through understanding and communication.
In short, don't be a dick, and you never know what doors might open for you… whether that be in life, or in getting the new season of "Game of Thrones" the way you were hoping.
Every day, I find myself cringing at some stupid post I see online (and let's all admit, it's mostly on Facebook). Whether it be a BS rumor proliferated in a uroboros of misinformation or a friend sharing something potentially harmful to career/family/whatever, we've reached a point where people's actions have greater real-world impact than ever. The lack of understanding of the mediums in which people share their exploits, as well as how devoid of fact-checking the world seems on some days, bums me the hell out. There were two pieces this week, which delved a bit into that concept:
- Protip: After Successfully Stealing A Car And Robbing A Bank... Don't Brag About It On YouTube
- No Warrant, No Problem: The Government Can Still Get Your Data

Three years ago, Brian Mossop, then the community manager at PLoS, asked me if I'd ever considered blogging. I had, but only in the way that I had, say, contemplated having children–it was a distant, abstract notion.
But Brian told me that PLoS was getting ready to launch a new blog network and that a handful of other fantastic writers had already signed on to participate. I decided that it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up, and thus, my adventures in blogging began.
Over the last few years, I've had a blast. Blogging has been more enjoyable and rewarding than I imagined. But as regular readers may have noticed, I have not been posting here very frequently over the last year. In part that was because I was finishing a book. In the last few months, some other priorities and commitments–book-related events and travel, as well as the relaunching of my freelance career–have kept me from being able to blog as much as I'd like.
In short: I've realized that–at the moment, at least–I simply don't have the time or mental bandwith to produce a blog I'm proud of.
So rather than dribble out a few quick posts now and then, I've decided that I'm going to take a temporary hiatus from blogging until I can devote the time and energy to it that it deserves.
I've also decided that, going forward, it makes more sense for me to host my blog on my own site, emilyanthes.com. So when I return to blogging, it will over at that site, rather than here.
I'm planning on this break being temporary, but at the moment, I can't say exactly when I'll return to blogging. (I'll fill you all in on my plans, when I know them, on my website, Twitter, and Facebook.) Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to PLoS for giving me this opportunity.

It look several months longer than expected, but Mexican restaurant Señor Fish has opened in Echo Park. The space, a former Pescado Mojado at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Logan Street, is still not finished but the arched ceiling with exposed wood beams impressed the first diners at the Mexican restaurant. "The food was great – I had fish tacos," said one Echo Park resident today. "It looks good inside, especially the tall ceilings with exposed original beams."
Señor Fish co-founder Enrique Ramirez had initially expected to be open by late last year. In addition to gutting the former restaurant, Ramirez also had to deal with controversy after workers began removing a mural on the exterior of the building. The mural was later restored.
Ramirez and his sister Alicia opened the first Señor Fish in 1988 on Figueroa Street in Highland Park. That stand closed but the family opened outlets in other communities, including Eagle Rock, downtown Los Angeles and Duarte. The Echo Park restaurant is the chain's seventh location.

With over 8 million weekly readers, syndicated journalist Anita Bruzzeses is America's favorite workplace columnist. She wrote an article on vocabulary in the workplace that exclusively featured the Executive Vocabulary program. She also devoted an entire chapter to Greg Ragland's turnaround story and the Executive Vocabulary program in her top selling workplace book: 45 Things You Do That Drive Your Boss Crazy... and How to Avoid Them.
As the Director of The Professional Vocabulary Institute, Don Woodruff assessed all the vocabulary improvement programs available to the public and decided to recommend and endorse only one: Executive Vocabulary. ''Rather than give definitions for rarely heard words, Executive Vocabulary clearly defines and offers memorable examples for terms most people have heard yet rarely know well enough to define. Thus, it creates maximum absorption and retention. I believe this program is excellent for anyone aiming to build a powerful vocabulary.
"The #1 reason why people do not get hired is poor interview skills. Most of my clients had limited vocabularies and were unable to clearly articulate their responses. Executive Vocabulary is my program of choice because it incorporates both audio and written training that is reinforced by testing. I started Executive Vocabulary, too, and began to use Power Words I learned. The response was astonishing! My creditability shot through the roof. I started teaching people the Power Words, and they loved it. I have been using the program for 30 days. While I may have been employed with this company for 3 years, this was the first time that I had been asked for my input. My client base increased by 10%* since that time. I recommend it as a must have for anyone who aspires to succeed." -Heidi Smith
As a licensed speech and language pathologist, Wendy Wiberg has worked with clients that include Harvard Medical School and KPMG International. Here's what she has to say about the Executive Vocabulary program: ''I had searched for years for an appropriate vocabulary development program for the professionals whom I work with. I am thrilled to have finally found exactly what I'd been looking for in the Executive Vocabulary Program. Not only is the program easy to use, but, most importantly, the vocabulary words themselves are exactly the kinds of words that international business professionals need to learn and use. Clients that I've used it with have been equally excited about it. It's an all over, great program. -Wendy Wiberg, M.A., CCC-SLP

Many people ignore insurance. They are not familiar with the different benefits they can get out of buying life insurance. They feel like they are just losing money if they will spend money for buying insurance. In the world of personal finance, insurance has a big role.
Term life insurance is ideally designed to ensure that people who cannot buy a complete life cover can also avail protection for their loved ones. The low premium ensures that you can afford insurance and hence protect your family in unforeseen circumstances.
If you are in your thirties, have young children and are the sole bread winner, a term plan would be ideal for you to help your family in your absence. You can choose the term to cover the time period till your children start earning and become self-sufficient.
There are other characteristics this type of life insurance . One is the fact that even though the policy is for a fixed term, most allow for renewal at the end of the coverage. This means you can extend coverage for another policy term. The biggest problem with this is the premiums often go up because of the renewal. Another characteristic is some policies allow for conversion to a permanent life policy if desired. A portion of the premiums paid before the conversion help to enhance the value of the permanent policy. This is one reason why this investment is popular.
There are two major categories of policies, the term insurance and whole life insurance. While term insurance has just an insurance component in most cases, whole life insurance has both insurance and savings components.
There are different types of term insurance policies. Each gives you an insurance cover for a certain number of years. Depending upon the policy, some of them give you the option to exit or renew the policy at fixed intervals.
Life insurance is one of the important thing to consider before investing money. Don't ignore it. Don't be in a hurry. Carefully plan your investment plan and one of your investment plan is to protect your income first. I hope you learned something today. If you have any questions or want to know more about investing, you can read blogs, ask on forums or attend investing seminars.

History of Life Insurance in Palmdale California
Life Insurance comes with many benefits. Nowadays, life insurance isn't just a contract between the insurer and insured, which provides protection against risk of life by paying a premium. For sustainability in the market, every company and product need to adopt the current demand and circumstances and same goes with the life insurance products too.
First of all, you should keep in mind that life insurance is a very important investment decision and it should be made after a lot of thinking. Buying a policy on someone's recommendation alone is not a good idea. In the same way, don't just buy an insurance policy based on the ads you have seen on TV or Internet. Keep in mind that not everyone is in need of this type of insurance.
When compared to whole life policies, one of the most significant characteristics is the low premiums associated with it. Whole life policies often carry higher premiums when compared to similar coverage in a term policy. Because there is a fixed period the insurance covers, the risk to the insurance company is lower than with a whole life policy. They pass that lowered risk along to the consumer in the form of lower premiums. Another reason for the lower premiums is the fact there is no accumulated cash value to the policy. The insurance company uses the premiums to cover the face value of the policy. There is no need to handle investments on the money for the benefit of the consumer.
The life insurance premiums may start off from a couple of pence per day based on the level of coverage you need. Aside from this, it also depends upon what may happen to you down the road. If you have been looking for a good life insurance policy, we suggest that you don't go for the first offer that some company sends to you. It's always a great idea to shop around.
Life Insurance Policies in Palmdale California
Generally, life insurance policies are often marketed to cater to retirement planning, savings and investment purposes apart from the ones mentioned above. For instance, an annuity can very well provide an income during your retirement years.
Whole life and endowment participating policies or investment linked plans (ILPs) in life insurance policies bundle together a savings and investment aspect along with insurance protection. Hence, for the same amount of insurance coverage, the premiums will cost you more than purchasing a pure insurance product like term insurance.
The benefits from a life insurance policy typically can be accessed through a policy loan or a policy surrender. Living benefits in essence serve as a form of lien against life insurance policies. It will cut down the death benefits which are actually payable to beneficiaries as well as cut down the sum which is accessible for loans along with the policy's cash value. In fact, the lien will be equivalent to the payment amount of the living benefits which the policyholder will get along with accrued interest. With life insurance policies continuing to evolve, the advantages which are provided through such plans is likely to persist to offer for the changing and unique requirements of the policy holders and on a broader scale.
One of the distinguishing features of a whole life insurance policy is "cash value". It means that the insurance premiums you pay towards your plan accumulate in a cash balance that you can use even when you are still alive! If you do decide to discontinue paying your premiums, your insurance plan may still be worth something to you. This, however, depends on how much cash has accumulated. On the contrary, term insurance premiums (pure insurance policies) only pay out upon a death.
Many life insurance policies, particularly whole life policies offer dividends to their customers, and while explaining this option to the insured, many insurance companies make it sound quite exciting. Most people, caught up in the excitement of the moment, much like other times when purchasing something new, forget to mention that they are not quite sure what a dividend is, where is comes from, or why it should be cause for excitement.
With dividend paying whole life policies, investments are made in very safe financial instruments such as bonds, and they also diversify by industry, maturity & geography. This keeps costs and risks very low, and profits very steady.

Life insurance is never free and it's not a pension plan, although certain policies can indeed become self-funding–but they never start off that way.
Never buy any coverage that you feel strongly is unnecessary, never let yourself be pressured, and never borrow to finance life insurance.
Research by the non-profit The Coalition Against Insurance Fraud in California concludes that life insurance fraud committed by all parties costs an average household $1650 per year and increases life insurance premiums by 25%.
Choosing the insurance company is the next important part that you should consider. Some insurance customers are of the view all the companies are equal providing similar services. But this is totally untrue and such a case can never happen.
To our best of knowledge, we know that the quality of insurance policy differs with the quality of the company. There are several agencies which review the insuring companies and rate them on the basis of the investment quality. It is always advisable that you should know of all the services that you are paying for through the policy.
Requesting life insurance quotes from reputed companies empowers you to make an informed decision about the kind of policy that best meets your needs, gives you updated info about the premiums, coverage, tax benefits, duration, limitations and returns you can expect on maturity.
You should compare the quotes received, However, do not be carried away by insurance companies offering low premiums or too many benefits (these could be fraudulent companies out to make a fast buck at your expense). You should specifically note that higher life insurance premiums would have to be paid in case you are a smoker and have a history of using tobacco or if you are suffering from a chronic illness. The insurance company would obtain a copy of your past and current medical history as well. They would like you to furnish them with your personal information too. This personal information would be secured and no third party can have access to it. With ever increasing traffic, the internet has been flooded by conmen and cheats, who pose as life insurance providers and swindle your valuable money and misuse your name and credentials.
There is absolutely no obligation for you to buy your insurance policy from any of the companies on the list that you get. However, many do end up making a purchase after they see that how much they will end up saving money, after all we are living economically difficult times and money doesn't grow on trees.
Knowing the needs of your family may help you determine what type of insurance policy you need. We suggest that you don't follow "rule of thumb" guides that you may come across online. You know your needs. So, your decision will depend on your specific circumstances.

- Fri, 1 Feb 2013, 10:02 PMAbsolutely Brilliant theme!
- Sat, 2 Feb 2013, 1:43 AMhello Annick, on behalf of the team thank you. But please let us know if you have any suggestion to improve it
- Mon, 4 Feb 2013, 9:58 PMYou're welcome!
One thing I have noticed is that before I login to Moodle on my tablet, if I scroll down the bottom of the page I have an option which says: "switch to the standard theme" with On and Off buttons. Whether I click on the On or the Off it reverts to the standards theme - And since I have clicked on it I can't have the tablet theme to display when logged in unless I force it in the settings...
May be something to look into...
- Sat, 9 Feb 2013, 8:55 PMGreat work but I have to agree with Dan Attwood that it is extremely difficult to navigate in the top left hand corner; big screen but bigger fingers alas!
- Wed, 27 Mar 2013, 9:38 PMGreate work!
Thanks for share!
- Sun, 9 Jun 2013, 5:00 PMFirstly I would like to complement you on such an wesome theme - full admin functionality on a mobile/tablet theme. Unfortunately I have upgraded to build 2013053002 on my test site with moodle version 2.4.4+ build 20130530.
Unfortunately the menus are no longer fully functional on my iPad. When I try to drill down through the admin menus the multi level menus won't expand. they were working fine prior to upgrading, and continue in my moodle 2.3+ site using moodle2tablet (that I did not upgarade yet) using the same iPad. Please advise of the best course of action.
- Mon, 10 Jun 2013, 10:33 PMHello Craig, thanks for your feedback! First of all, the previous version (1.0) is available again form Mobile and Tablet. So you can fix your theme. The last version was released just because a weird database issue with some moodles. This is the only one difference between the prior version. We are going to figure out a solution asap.
- Wed, 14 Aug 2013, 3:54 AMHi, i have a problem - when i copied this theme to folder /theme..my moodle dont load - site inaccessible. After i delete theme folder - function is restored..thanks for advice
- Fri, 16 Aug 2013, 2:04 PMI have just upgraded my test site to the latest version (Version 1.2 Build: 2013080501) and the settings menus still don't function correctly (expand & collapse) on iPad. I was hoping the new release would correct that problem. I also can't go back because I deleted the old folder and it's not available for download anymore. Ubuntu 12.04 & Postgres.
- Fri, 22 Nov 2013, 10:19 PMMoodle 2.6 support?
- Tue, 26 Nov 2013, 10:21 PMI´ve tried it with Moodle 2.6 successfully, Have you had any issues? Please tell us
- Thu, 28 Nov 2013, 6:48 AMMoodle 2.6: Same problem as already mentioned.
One thing I have noticed on my tablet, if I scroll down the bottom of the page I have an option which says: "switch to the standard theme" with On and Off buttons. Whether I click on the On or the Off and i just can't click on either of them. (android 4.4, and 4.2.2). Nothing happens. Page just sits there... no links are working.
May be something to look into...

Will Brexit damage the construction industry?
It is difficult to predict what is likely to happen to any industry with regards to our current political outlook, and the Brexit coverage has made it even harder to have an opinion based upon a firm foundation because no firm foundation exists at this point. Of course, it is futile to focus on the negative side of what Brexit will mean to builders, property developers and everybody else in the construction industry. But if we look at what we know for sure, then that may give us steady footing for when national and international decisions are made. Chancellor Philip…
Taking The Hassle Out Of Moving House
Moving to a new house is always exciting, but at the same time it can be highly stressful for everyone involved. Life will inevitably become more stressful if you need to get rid of unwanted possessions.

Access to EU workers necessary to meet house building targets
Access to skilled construction workers from the EU will be necessary after Britain leaves the bloc if it is to meet its house building targets.

House building is a key issue for the government, and was a main feature of the recent Autumn Budget. Chancellor Philip Hammond announced the government's plans to set aside an investment fund to help deliver 300,000 new homes each year until the mid 2020s. The same report from the HBF hi…

hi again!
Response to your eyeshadow question: my favorite eyeshadow would have to be from Clinique and L'Oreal! I've tried like a BILLION eyeshadows (Shiseido, Urban Decay, Hot Topic, Two Faced, Estee Lauder, etc. etc.) and those are my two favorite so far. They're great for everyday wear and aren't too sparkly and shimmery (that is, I always go for the more matte and or ones with just a tiny TINY hint of shimmer)

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - German lender Landesbank Baden-Wuertemberg has accused Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) of fraud in a $173 million lawsuit over the sale of mortgage-backed securities during the financial crisis.
The complaint was filed in the New York State Supreme court by LBBW and Spencerview Asset Management, over the purchase of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) in 2007, a court filing shows.
Deutsche Bank on Friday said it believes the suit to be without merit and that it will defend itself vigorously.
The plaintiffs allege that the bank created, issued, and sold RMBS containing loans which the bank knew were defective, and took trading positions that paid off when the mortgage market collapsed.
"Deutsche Bank's singularly negative view of these loans and the RMBS they backed, led it, starting as early as 2005, to bet against the U.S. housing market," the lawsuit said.
The plaintiffs said they feel misled about the claims made about the mortgage underwriting standards, the appraisals of the mortgaged properties, and other facts regarding the collateral underlying the Deutsche Bank RMBS.
