Here is the eighth of some notes about erlang.
Obviously this is a very cursory glance at things. It's really just notes to help me remember things. If you're looking for something in more detail you can take a look at the erlang reference manual.
Records are a way of providing a names for elements of tuples.
Record declarations are created in .hrl files with a syntax like:
-record(events, {day=monday,name=hangover}).
This gives us the ability to create a new event record with attributes of day and name. Like this:
X1 = #event{day=monday,name=hangover}).
Remember, its really just a tuple, but because we make it a record, it gets to have names for its variables. We can pattern match to get the variables out of the record. To get the values out of X1 above for example:
#event{day=D,name=N} = X1.

DONETSK, Ukraine - A top commander of the pro-Russia insurgency in eastern Ukraine said Saturday that Ukrainian forces have seized a key town, leaving the rebel region's largest city of Donetsk surrounded.
The statement by Igor Girkin, a former Russian special service officer better known by his nom de guerre of Strelkov, appears to be a significant admission by the rebels that Ukrainian forces are gaining the upper hand in the four-month-old fight.
Strelkov said the town of Krasnyi Luch, which lies on one of the two main roads between Donetsk and the rebel-held east's other main city of Luhansk, "has been taken by the enemy."
"The Donetsk-Horlivka group of the fighters of Novorossiya is completely surrounded," he said on a rebel social media page. Novosrossiya, or New Russia, is a term widely used for the rebel region. Horlivka, where rebels and Ukrainian forces are also fighting, is about 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of Donetsk.
Seizing Krasnyi Luch would cut off much of the passage to other parts of the rebel east.
A spokesman for the Ukrainian military operation, Andriy Lysenko, told reporters Saturday that he could not confirm the claim that Krasnyi Luch was under the forces' control.
In Donetsk, a spokesman for the city administration said at least one person was killed and several injured in shelling of the city's southern area on Saturday. Spokesman Maxim Rovninsky also told The Associated Press that about 30 apartment blocks came under fire during the night.
The city, whose population was nearly 1 million before the fighting, has increasingly come under fire over the past weeks. Ukrainian officials firmly deny that they are shelling civilians, but rebels claim the forces are doing just that and trying to shift blame to the separatists.
Explosions were also heard Saturday on the northern outskirts near the city's airport.
As the fighting proceeds, concerns are rising about a looming humanitarian catastrophe in Luhansk, where fighting has been heavier and more prolonged. A map released by the Ukrainian military operation against the rebels shows Ukrainian forces near the outskirts of Luhansk on three sides with an opening to other rebel-held territory at the south.
Russian news agencies quoted a Saturday statement from the Luhansk city administration saying that the city has been without water and electricity for a week and that most of its stores are closed.
Russia has been pushing for a humanitarian mission to Luhansk, but Kiev and Western countries suspect that could be a pretext for sending in troops. Western countries say Russia has assembled some 20,000 troops just across the border.
The International Committee of the Red Cross said Friday that it is stepping up work to alleviate the crisis. In a statement, it acknowledged the Russian proposal about organizing aid convoys and said "any humanitarian initiative is welcome" but added that any Red Cross "action will be taken in strict adherence to our fundamental working principles of neutrality, impartiality, and independence.."
In Kiev, city workers and volunteers on Saturday removed the last of the barricades that had blocked the main street of Ukraine's capital since protests that forced a change of government arose late last year.
Protesters erected the barricades to protect a sprawling tent camp on the central city's main square. Although the camp's size dwindled sharply after President Viktor Yanukovych fled the country in February and a new government came to power, a determined core of demonstrators remained in a show of suspicion of the new authorities.
Some tents remained on Saturday. But Kiev mayor Vitali Klitschko, who was one of the leaders of the protests against Yanukovych, was quoted by Ukrainian media as saying an agreement has been reached with the protest holdouts to restore free movement in the center.
Yanukovych's ouster precipitated the crisis in Ukraine's east, which was his support base and where many were opposed to the new authorities, calling them nationalists with fascist leanings who intended to oppress the largely Russian-speaking east.

As a classicist, I read Greek and Latin very slowly. I don't write scholarly pieces any more, but when I did I wrote very slowly with carefully chosen words and then I edited my piece interminably. Very different from a blog.
Good ideas will always take a long time to work out. But does anyone value these lovingly turned phrases, these intricate, elegant concepts in a world of twitter, facebook,wikileaks and blogs? Apparently the answer is yes, because The Atlantic, a high-brow magazine for intellectuals, has begun to turn a profit according to The New York Times. And that profit is coming from an unlikely source: online advertising.
Advertisers have decided that painstaking research, fact-checked articles and elaborate prose will indeed "attract eyeballs" online. The magazine still gets revenue from print ads and subscriptions but the move to online readership has saved the day.
At the same time, a field called "Digital Humanities" has begun to take off thanks to Google's obsessive scanning of all printed materials in the universe. See this article in The Atlantic. Google estimates it is up to about five percent of all of literature. Scholars then find patterns in word usage over time and geography to map cultural changes. It is like shredding all the books in the world, grinding them into fine powder, suspending them in a chemical solution, running them through a magical centrifuge, waiting for them to precipitate into a crystal pattern and then thinking about the pattern that appears on the spectrometer.
This kind of spectral analysis of literature requires the same degree of careful, critical thinking and ends up being published in magazines like Science which caters primarily to scholars and scientists. So while the digital humanities takes a very different approach to analyzing the words, it takes the same approach when it comes to synthesizing them.
The Atlantic online is putting out very fine prose by extremely well-read authorities in their fields. All the thoughts are hand-made, as it were, and result in 500 to 1,000 words of beautiful sentences. Meanwhile, Google's Ngram Viewer is sifting 500,000,000 words as though they were DNA molecules, completely disregarding the authority of the sourses. Scholars interpret the results and produce carefully crafted thoughts and prose. All that carefully crafted prose will, someday, be fed back into the word grinder of Google or whatever replaces Google and be reduced to dust again.

Ontario Liberal caucus endorses Ottawa MPP John Fraser for interim leader post
FILE -- Ottawa South Liberal John Fraser celebrates his win in an Ontario provincial by-election in Ottawa Thursday August 1, 2013 in Ottawa. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Fred Chartrand)
TORONTO - The new interim leader of Ontario's Liberals says grassroot members will play a crucial role in rebuilding the party after its stunning defeat in last week's election.
Ottawa-area legislator John Fraser was selected Thursday after a vote by caucus members, riding association presidents and party executives.
In a brief statement, Fraser acknowledged there will be years of rebuilding ahead for the party, but promised to work toward the renewal process.
"I will be communicating with our membership over the coming days and am committed to working closely with them, and with our supporters across the province to build a strong and inclusive Liberal Party," he said.
The Liberal caucus, which was reduced to seven members, had unanimously endorsed Fraser for the position on Wednesday evening.
Liberal Party President Brian Johns lauded Fraser as a dedicated party member who has been involved in politics in different capacities for 40 years.
"John is extremely committed to our Liberal family," Johns said. "And I believe he has the right mix of experience, dedication, and hunger for hard work, that our party needs as we begin the process of reconnecting with our grassroots."
A backbencher in the Liberal government, Fraser was first elected in a byelection in 2013 that was called after former party leader Dalton McGuinty stepped down.
Fraser's appointment comes a day after the Liberals held their final cabinet meeting, a gathering that focused on rebuilding the party that governed the province for the last 15 years.
Outgoing Premier Kathleen Wynne resigned as party leader on election night after her government was defeated by Doug Ford's Progressive Conservatives. The Tories, who won a majority, will take power on June 29.
Fraser has never held a cabinet post but has served as the parliamentary secretary to the minister of health, minister of northern development and mines, and the minister of natural resources.
Prior to being elected Fraser, a married father of three, worked in McGuinty's Ottawa constituency office for 14 years.
University of Toronto political science professor Nelson Wiseman said the degree of difficulty of Fraser's job will depend greatly on whether party manages to gain official status in the legislature.
Wynne has said she hopes Ford will change the rules to grant the Liberals' the designation, which currently requires eight seats in the legislature. Ford has only said he'd talk to his team about the issue in the days and weeks to come.
Official party status brings, among other things, research resources and allocated speaking time in the legislature. Without those resources the rebuilding process could take longer and be harder, Wiseman said.
"That's a very big factor," he said. "If they don't have official party status they can't serve on legislative committees. If they don't have the research support ... they'll be swinging blindly when large technical bills come up."
Wiseman said the interim leadership role will be demanding and likely see Fraser required to travel across the province to meet with grassroots party members and try to get media attention.
"It's hard work," he said. "It's a 24-7 job. It's very demanding."
Wiseman said it has also become an expectation of modern politics that the interim leader won't run to helm the party permanently, something that didn't used to be the case.
"Once upon a time you'd be the interim leader and then it was seen as a stepping stone to becoming the leader," he said. "Leadership races have become these big productions now where everyone gets a vote and the onus is now selling tens of thousands of memberships."

An attorney for New York's unions and claimants lawyers for an association of livery services have requested that state regulators deny a request from the New York Compensation Insurance rating Board (NYCIRB). That request was asking the regulators to increase loss costs by an average of 11.5% which would become effective in October.
Chairman of the New York Workers Compensation Alliance, Robert Grey, stated that the proposed change would cost employers $500 million. It would also raise rates by more than they declined once former Governor Eliot Spitzer signed off on several workers compensation reforms in March 2007. Grey further stated that loss costs and rates have already increased by 9% over the rates which were charged at the time the reforms were passed.
The Chairman argued in his testimony that rates has remained flat between 1995 and 2005 and there was not previously a problem with rates before 2007 even though all of the reforms were made. He suggested the move was motivated by insurance companies who are only interested in earning a profit.
The reforms had increased the maximum weekly benefit for employees for the first time since the 1990s. They also placed duration caps on permanent partial disability benefits. The reforms required the New York State Workers Compensation Board to develop a pharmacy fee schedule, a medical treatment guideline which was a first for the state, and a new set of impairment guidelines where are specific to New York. The new guidelines covered the back, neck, shoulder, and knee and were implemented on December 1, 2010.
Essentially the workers' attorneys are arguing that the costs of workers compensation are 'tremendous' and if rates continue to risk, many of the livery companies which include city taxi cab services, will end up going out of business. The ruling is expected next month regarding the loss cost filing.

Fishing Guide in a Box
Fishing Guide in a Box got its start over breakfast one morning in 2009 in a small marina and bait shop near Caddo Lake in East Texas. The conversation was between a couple of local fishing guides and a fishing enthusiast with a strong marketing and sales background. The whole concept behind Fishing Guide in A Box is that most lakes and rivers have a local "Fishing Expert" that may not be well known since they have not appeared on a national fishing show but that they are the true experts for that body of water. Many of these guides have spent years guiding on the same body of water using a few "secret lures" that everyone may not be aware of that visit that body of water. Many of these fishermen may not have the time or money to be able to hire a guide for their fishing trip and even if they have the time and money, the guide may already be booked with another party.
The simple concept of Fishing Guide in a Box is to travel around to many of these nationally known fisheries and partner with the local fishing expert and video and spend the week conversing with them as they communicate their knowledge and expertise as well as identifying and packaging their favorite lures that can be fished year round on that particular body of water.

Newly crowned College World Series champion Oregon State had its back against the wall for nearly two weeks in Omaha after losing its opening game to North Carolina and later, the first game of the championship series to Arkansas. After each loss, the Beavers' next defeat would've been their last, eliminating them from the College World Series.
Instead, Oregon State staved off elimination by winning four consecutive games to reach the championship series and six of seven to clinch the title. Here's how the Beavers won each game and how close they came to elimination.
RELATED: Freshman Kevin Abel dazzles in CWS clincher
Oregon State 14, Washington 5
This game won't go down in history in the same breath as the Chicago Cubs' victory over the Cleveland Indians in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series, which was interrupted by a pivotal weather delay and ultimately ended the Cubs' 108-year championship drought, but the Beavers potentially benefited from a four-plus-hour rain delay.
With two outs and the bases loaded for OSU in the top of the sixth inning, play was stopped for four hours and 31 minutes. When play resumed, Tyler Malone drew a walk, which scored the game-tying run, then the Beavers scored nine runs in the seventh and eighth inning to put the game out of reach.How they scored the game-winning run: Michael Gretler doubled down the left-field line in the top of the seventh, scoring Nick Madrigal from second base.
What could have gone wrong: Washington was in control of the game for the first four innings with a 3-0 lead. Before the weather delay, Washington was one out from getting out of the top of the sixth inning with a 5-4 lead. Maybe the weather delay didn't impact the game at all. Maybe it completely changed the course of the 2018 College World Series. We'll just never know.
Oregon State 11, North Carolina 6
After losing 8-6 to the Tar Heels in their opening game, the Beavers bounced back with an elimination game victory over North Carolina four days later. Oregon State appeared to be on the verge of quietly exiting Omaha after trailing 6-3 through seven innings before exploding with a pair of four-run innings to end the game. The Beavers' first four batters were 9-for-19 with four doubles, two home runs and seven RBI.How they scored the game-winning run: Anderson walked on a 3-2 count with two outs in the top of the eighth inning with the bases loaded, scoring Adley Rutschman to cap off a four-run inning.
What could have gone wrong: For the second time in four days, Oregon State ace Luke Heimlich was chased out of the game before finishing the third inning, forcing the Beavers to use four pitchers in the game and straining the team's bullpen. Kyle Datres, North Carolina's first batter of the game doubled to lead off the bottom of the first, but the Tar Heels were unable to knock him in. They left nine runners on base in the game.
Oregon State 12, Mississippi State 2
Needing to beat a surging Mississippi State team twice in a row to reach the College World Series championship series, Oregon State broke the game open early, scoring five runs in the second inning and chasing out MSU starter Jacob Billingsley after just 1.1 innings. The Beavers managed five hits off of Billingsley – as many as the Bulldogs recorded for the entire game.How they scored the game-winning run: Nick Madrigal singled to left field in the bottom of the second, scoring Gretler.
What could have gone wrong: This was as resounding of a victory as the Beavers had since the Corvallis Regional. Bryce Fehmel only lasted 3.2 innings, leaving the game with OSU leading 5-2, but Brandon Eisert put the clamps on MSU's offense, holding the Dawgs to just one hit in the final 5.1 innings.
Oregon State 5, Mississippi State 2
Oregon State completed its four-game run through consecutive elimination games in a fairly offensively challenged matchup. The Beavers scored all of their runs in the third inning, when they recorded five of their eight hits. MSU, meanwhile, mustered just four hits all game. Freshman Kevin Abel was lights out, going seven innings while allowing just three hits and one run.How they scored the game-winning run: Tyler Malone hit a three-run home run to right center on a 3-1 count, providing all the firepower the Beavers needed to win.
What could have gone wrong: Abel had made just five starts all season and making a start as a freshman, with a finals berth on the line, could have gotten to the righty. Instead, he was dominant – a common theme of the College World Series. The Beavers also scored all five runs in the third inning with two outs. If even one play in the chain of events that led to a monster inning for OSU had been different, we're maybe coming off Mississippi State or Arkansas celebrating the national championship.
Oregon State 5, Arkansas 3
Arkansas was in control of a competitive one-run game, needing just one more out to clinch the College World Series, when a play that will go down in history as one of the most infamous blunders in college baseball history occurred. We'll touch on this more in a little bit. The two starting pitchers combined for just 6.1 innings and nine pitchers were used in total. There were 19 hits in the game but 16 were singles.
Each team's leadoff and five-hole hitters went hitless, while their No. 2, 3 and 4 hitters were responsible for the bulk of the offensive production in the game. It was a game where one big play could turn the tide and that's exactly what Oregon State capitlized on to even the championship series.How they scored the game-winning run: Trevor Larnach homered to right field with two outs in the top of the ninth inning, also scoring Cadyn Grenier.
What could have gone wrong: Trailing 3-2 with two outs in the top of the ninth inning, Grenier hit a pop-up in foul territory along the first-base line behind the bag. Arkansas first baseman Gates, second baseman Carson Shaddy and right fielder Cole all made attempts to run to the ball for the final out, but it dropped in the middle of the trio. With a new life at the plate, Grenier singled, starting a two-out, three-run rally that allowed Oregon State to win 5-3 and force a Game 3. If that ball had been caught, Arkansas would have won the College World Series.
Oregon State 5, Arkansas 0
Oregon State never trailed in Game 3 of the College World Series, taking a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning and gradually added to its lead over the next eight innings. Abel was stellar, throwing a two-hit shutout while striking out 10 batters. College World Series Most Outstanding Player Adley Rutschman continued swinging a hot bat, going 3-for-4 with 2 RBI and one run, putting his name in the record books with a record 17 hits in the CWS.How they scored the game-winning run: Rutschman drove in what proved to be the game-winning run in the fourth at-bat in the bottom of the first inning. He singled through the left side, scoring Grenier.
What could have gone wrong: After Oregon State's hot start in the first inning and Abel's incredible work on the mound (he retired the final 20 batters he faced), there really wasn't an imminent threat that the Beavers narrowly avoided. Arkansas had the bases loaded with one out in the third inning after Abel surrendered a leadoff double but he settled down and retired the next two batters.
Maybe Abel misses a few of his spots and that inning plays out differently, but Oregon State was never seriously in danger of letting the game slip away.

Pétur speaks about how we currently are handling the issue of spinal cord injury and why we are doing it wrong. He will share with us the technological advances currently being made in treatment options. He challenges our current views of this issue and argues that the wheelchair isn't a solution.
Pétur is a film-maker and director who suffered a life-changing accident climbing a rock in Austria a little over 3 years ago. The accident resulted in spinal cord injury and Pétur was told he would never walk again. However, using leg braces, he stood up from his wheelchair about 8 months after the accident and still uses them to walk.

As a tall woman (6'1) finding clothes growing up was hard as f*uck. Nothing fit my length, or my shape, and it was never in my budget to spend a ton of money on my clothes. My mother showed me the world of thrifting and by the time I got to college I had found my groove in the world of second hand clothes. I found clever was to make mens clothes work in my favor, let out hems, and stay on a small budget for quality clothing. My thrift hand grew to be so heavy I was able to have my own pop up shop and online store "FashionEaters", but eventually I couldn't balance the timed pressures it took to run my own business so I had to put my store dreams on PAUSE (wink).
Around the time I closed up shop, I started to stray away from thrifting. More stores started to cater to curvy tall girls like me, such as Long Tall Sally, Talltique and brands started to providing tall options like ASOS & Express. So, I started to sneak around on my beloved thrifting, ending up neglecting it all together. As I mentioned a few post ago (HERE) I've evolved my style and been purging loved pieces (SHOP THEM HERE). Every item I pull from my closet brings back memories of where I first found the piece and all of the events i've been to in it.
(Here is my love letter to thrifting I wrote a few years ago)
Since I'm returning to my thrifting roots I pulled this bad boy from the back of my closet. I got the blazer from a local vintage shop and its tailored to perfection. I kept my outfit simple to let the blazer do all the work and I felt like the dopest chick in the city wearing it. I wore a white button down (HERE), my wide leg Long Tall Sally jeans, ankle boots and boom I'm fresh A.F. (lol). I look forward to bringing you guys all my future thrift finds and if you're in the trip-state area feel free to drop your favorite stores to visit in the comments below or tweet me!

:CP: Miranda Tyre Swing
• :CP: Miranda Tyre Swing (Adult or PG) – 10 LI
(LI listed as boxed refers to product size as given. If you enlarge or decrease the size of these items the prim count may vary based on SL land impact calculations. Does not include rezzing props or items available through rezzable decor.)
• :CP: Miranda Tyre Swing – 12 Single Animations, 13 Couples Animations, 28 stand alone adult animations including 2 sequences – in adult version only.
• :CP: Miranda Tyre Swing – on/off on touch by touching the ROPES.
A few people have asked for an actual moving swinging version of this. Due to SL issues with the swing script I was very hesitant to include the swinging motion in the original release. I have since updated the product to have a swinging variation. It is PG ONLY as the animations do not all work with movement so I have had to cut them down to fit with the actions. This item is included in both the PG and Adult boxes now but is PG only. (the static versions still contain all animations and are included in the purchase)
The swing motion is activated and deactivated by touching an invisible prim at the top of the swing.
This is very important: I made the swing editable so you can extend the chain and create extra chains for more length. If you extend the chain you must move the swing pivot up. If you don't your swing will pivot in the middle and look strange.
I have sent out product updates to include this new version. If you miss the update and would like an updated copy to include the swinging motion please visit the redelivery terminal in our mainstore. If you redeliver the item to yourself the box will now include a swinging version.
If you are unsure about using the swinging version don't worry! The static version is still very pretty, has more animations, and is hassle-free.

The Seacoast community will have an opportunity to engage in a respectful, moderated conversation with their immigrant neighbors. Panelists will speak from personal experience and answer questions about identity, fear, discrimination, and belonging. Open to all!
Daniel Pontoh was born in Canada to Indonesian parents and when he was 8 migrated to the Seacoast area of NH with his family in 2001, where he has lived since. Daniel's perspective comes from having lived outside of the US in another Western country and not part of a large Indonesian community, to moving into the US into a large Indonesian community in a predominantly white area. Daniel has also organized efforts for immigrant rights and solidarity among other issues.
Sebastian Fuentes is in immigrant who has lived in New Hampshire for 17 years, and became a U.S. citizen two years ago. He is an ACLU volunteer community organizer and political activist.
Eva Castillo was born in Caracas, Venezuela and moved to Michigan in 1976, where she directed the Hispanic American Council. Upon moving to New Hampshire in 1984, she worked at the New England Farm Workers Council and the Latin American Center. In 2007 Eva was hired by MIRA Coalition as an organizer and Director of the NH Alliance for Immigrants and Refugees and Welcoming NH. Eva served six years as a Manchester Police Commissioner, chairs the Manchester Disproportionate Minority Contact committee, and the MPD Community Advisory Board.
Ro Mohammad Mustak Arif and his family were resettled in the USA in 2013. He was born in Myanmar (formerly Burma) and identifies as Rohingya, a population that made up almost a third of that country's population before violence erupted in August 2017, causing over half a million Rohingya to become refugees. Throughout his life, Mr. Mohammad Mustak Arif was denied citizenship and education, and subjected to violence, because of his race and faith. Here in the USA, he works three jobs, as a medical interpreter, a case manager in a local nonprofit organization, and as a Founder/Executive Director of the Rohingya Society of Greater Nashua (RSGN), and participates in many civic activities in Nashua.
Ask an Immigrant Anything will be moderated by Laura Horwood-Benton, Public Programming and Community Relations Librarian.

Cuomo, de Blasio efforts for Hillary Clinton vary in influence
ALBANY — Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has two of the state's most visible leaders — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio — to help her effort to win New York's primary on Tuesday. But some experts say the influence of these executives and their efforts to assist their longtime ally have diminished in an age of social media and voter anger at the status quo.
Cuomo appears to have been more useful for Clinton in recent weeks. On Thursday night, after Clinton's debate in Brooklyn against rival candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, it was Cuomo who represented Clinton in the "spin room" afterward. That's where top, trusted surrogates explain and support a candidate's statements and try to persuade reporters that he or she won the debate.
"Gov. Cuomo has been a steadfast supporter from the beginning," said Professor Meena Bose, director of Hofstra University's Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency.
Cuomo shared the podium with Clinton at his recent union-backed rally to celebrate his legislative victory to phase in a $15 minimum wage for much of the state. Cuomo also used a WNYC radio interview on the state budget passage to attack Sanders.
Sanders had said that Sandy Hook massacre victims shouldn't be able to sue gun manufacturers who made legal weapons used in the tragedy. Cuomo accused Sanders of taking the same position as former Republican President George W. Bush.
Last year, Cuomo's immediate endorsement of Clinton's campaign was particularly important to Clinton because some Democratic leaders believed Cuomo might run for president.
"There had been a degree of talk in the chattering class that he was hoping she would fail," said Richard Brodsky, a political scientist at the Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University. "He was shrewd. He made an early endorsement to put that to rest."
Meanwhile, de Blasio was late in endorsing Clinton, Bose said. For months, while withholding his endorsement, the mayor had been trying to push Clinton left, requiring her to "clarify" her positions on income inequality and other progressive issues. Meanwhile, Sanders was plying the same progressive issues to capture voters under 35 years old and liberals, which are important groups in Democratic primary voting.
Last week, de Blasio took on Sanders after the Vermont senator, in answer to a reporter's question, said Clinton may be unqualified to be president. De Blasio chided Sanders a bit.
"As his fellow progressive, this is not the right way to go," de Blasio told CNN. "Hillary Clinton is eminently qualified to be president of the United States. By the way, Bernie Sanders is qualified to be president of the United States, too."
Bose noted that Clinton passed on a recent offer by de Blasio to campaign for her outside New York.
"I think the Clinton campaign didn't think he was necessarily helpful," Bose said of de Blasio, who, like Cuomo, is mired some of his lowest poll numbers.
"There was a theory," said Brodsky, a former Democratic assemblyman, "that if Bill de Blasio had maintained his first-year support among voters, that his late endorsement would mean more than an early endorsement. That never happened. The mayor's technical political skills are subject to political criticism."
A week ago, Clinton drew criticism for her role in de Blasio's skit in the satirical Inner Circle event, which is put on by an organization of political reporters. The mayor and Clinton made a reference to "running on C.P. time," a derogatory term for tardiness that stands for "colored people time," even though Clinton's punch line was that she was referring to "cautious politician time." The skit, however, raised some criticism from her important African-American bloc. She quickly shifted blame onto de Blasio, telling Cosmopolitan: "It was Mayor de Blasio's skit."
It's uncertain, however, just how strong traditional political "coattails" are these days.
"There's less evidence of the coattails than we tend to talk about," Bose said. "Endorsements are good for the party faithful, but I'm not sure they make a difference with undecided voters." So Cuomo and de Blasio may have limited appeal to voters, but can be important in delivering a small core of reliable primary voters to Clinton, Bose said.
"Social media has changed the rules," Brodsky said. Voters no longer need to rely on elected officials with bully pulpits to inform their vote; they are just clicks away from a research and entering their own political discussions.
Further, this is a year that many Democratic and Republican voters are angry at the status quo.
"There is a trend that establishment endorsements can hurt, with voters saying, 'I don't want any part of people who got us into this mess,' " Brodsky said. Spokesmen for Cuomo and de Blasio declined to comment.

I want to watch the "Band of Brothers" miniseries from 2001.
I found it using search as expected.
It indicates that it is Free, but then has button "To Subscribe".
Clicking the "To Subscribe" button gives message to contact support either via phone or chat.
Upon contact, was informed that it is Free if you have an HBO subscription.
I purposely do not want an HBO subscription which is why I don't have the same.
Support offered to add HBO to my subscriptions, but at an increased monthly cost.
Thus, the "Free" indication for the show on the receiver is at best, misleading, and in truth, false advertising.
All DISH would have had to do to not piss me off was to include "Free with HBO subscription" in the information visible on the receiver.
But, by indicating "Free", but then asking me to pay more for that "Free" after I took time to chat has definitely pissed me off.
DISH or DirectTV, who can tell the difference between these companies.
I kind of agree with the original post. The show will say "FREE" but go to subscribe when I select it. Perhaps that button would be better off labeled Subscribe rather than "free", since Free means no charge, not subscribe and get it included. It was misleading to me as well the first time I saw it.
I would like to know why that now, sometimes when I click on a show, in the channel guide, listed on an HBO channel, and while I do subscribe to HBO, when I click on the ON Demand option to watch this show, it offers to let me BUY it? Why would I have to Buy any show listed on HBO, in the regularly scheduled listings or ON DEMAND offers? Please explain that one.
Hi, kbapril23! Can you give me an example of one of the shows you're having this issue with?
What receiver model do you have? It should say on the front left model of the receiver.
I do believe that on the box of cereal it says "free with purchase".

Turbo trainers make keeping fit so easy. Why? Well, we all know it can be hard to get your cycling fix if it's raining, cold, or otherwise impossible to get out an about on your favourite routes. And, if your home gym amounts to the last bit of clear floor space in the garage or a corner in the box room, it's unlikely you'll have the space to keep a static bike out permanently. That's where the turbo trainer comes in. They're a more compact alternative to the exercise bike, and over time, a much cheaper alternative to a costly gym membership.
Here's our pick of the best turbo trainers so you can create a home gym; find the best home gym equipment picks in our buyer's guide. Head over to our home gym hub page where you'll find design ideas and equipment recommendations aplenty.
Turbo trainers are a great way of factoring in your resistance training at home when it's lashing it down outside. A simple A frame that attaches to the quick release skewer of your bike's rear wheel, it holds the bike upright and static for an indoor-friendly workout that gives you the same benefits as an outdoor one. Simple enough, but once you've decided you want to buy one, there are different types to choose from.
Magnetic and fluid resistance trainers
These offer an admirably realistic experience for the rider who's used to being out on the road.
Smart resistance trainers
If you pick one up that's also labelled as smart, you don't have to rely on thinking about where you want to push yourself. Using buddy and universal apps, smart turbo trainers connect wirelessly to your device and allow you to everything from downloading virtual reality courses to uploading your data as you progress.
Wheel size and direct drive trainers
For most the picks in our buying guide, we've listed the wheel sizes suitable for use, with one exception: direct drive trainers. These require you to remove the back wheel and attach to the bike frame instead, which reduces wear on the tyres and can make for a smoother ride, but is a little more fiddly.
All round functionality
What we advise doing is thinking about the practical implications of each trainer: the wheel sizes suitable, the strenuousness of the setup, and the quietness of the ride, and seeing which one is suited to your particular needs.
1. Wahoo KICKR Smart Turbo Trainer
Sturdy, stable and very, very smart; this is our pick of the best turbo trainer you can buy
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Touted by Wiggle as 'the ultimate training experience', it's little wonder the Wahoo KICKR has nabbed our top spot for best turbo trainer. Realistic and responsive, the trainer reacts to the course set out on the buddy Wahoo Fitness app, replicating inclines, intervals and sprints instantaneously for the most realistic cycling experience this side of the velodrome. Reviewers reported no wheel slip, a solid build, an easy setup, and superb realism.
2. CycleOps Hammer Direct Drive Smart Trainer
Keeping an eye out for a low-key, quiet turbo trainer? This is it
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
This direct drive turbo trainer eliminates the annoyance of potentially bumpy tyre-to-roller contact by foregoing to rear wheel and attaching straight to the frame. This, plus the heavy base, is designed for a smooth ride, and that's precisely what you get, an uninterrupted resistance training experience that lets you switch seamlessly between intense intervals and casual cool-downs. Finally, there were two particular high notes that reviewers picked up on: the quietness, and the ease of setup. If you want to introduce resistance training into your routine with as little fuss or fanfare as possible, this looks to be a good way to do it.
3. Elite Qubo Power Fluid Turbo Trainer
An ultra-realistic replication of road conditions
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
This affordable turbo trainer uses fluid resistance for a unique experience that, according to the manufacturer, is best suited to road racers. That's because the weight of the user, and the power they put into the workout, influences the resistance that comes out, so it's a good way of training up for your next race, letting you feel a realistic imitation of what you'll be getting up to out on the road. The extra-large flywheel is immersed in oil, which sounds weird, but it's all in the name of resistance: namely, offering high resistance even at lower speeds for a really good workout. In our opinion, it's the best turbo trainer for those who are competitive riders.
4. Tacx Flux Direct Drive Smart Trainer
A great wheels-off alternative to the usual fare
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
The second direct drive smart trainer in our top five more than earns its place with a wealth of training and tracking options. It's compatible with a huge range of smart cycle software, meaning you can take advantage of VR training, video courses, and a whole load of workouts to keep things interesting year-round. For such a versatile trainer, it's pleasantly surprising to clock the mid-range price. There are some very slight negatives noted by reviewers, such as a small lag when changing resistance, that might throw you slightly off a particularly intense ride, but other than that, it looks to be unbeatable in its price band.
5. Kinetic Rock And Roll II Smart Trainer
Rocks realistically for a bike-like feel
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
This Kinetic trainer boasts the world's only free-moving fluid trainer, combining that innovative tech with app-based training for what is, by all accounts, a pretty high-tech at-home workout for cyclists. Of course, with the wealth of apps such as the brand's own Kinetic Fit, Zwift and TrainerRoad on offer, it's a great one for tracking your progress, but the realistic feel of the fluid resistance in this trainer is recommended for a core workout, so if cycling is your method of choice for getting or keeping fit, you'll get a great deal of use out of it even if apps aren't your thing. If you're looking for something realistic, this is the best turbo trainer for you.
6. Tacx Satori Smart Turbo Trainer
Easy breezy right out of the box
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
Far be it from us simply to suggest the cheapest options for your home gym, but when a budget buy really works, we'd be silly not to include it. The Tacx Satori Smart Turbo Trainer measures speed, cadence and power and wirelessly sends the data over to your device so you can keep track of your progress, and users loved how easy it was to pair with the buddy app. It's not the most detailed in terms of info, but for beginners and budgets, this entry-level trainer looks to offer really superb value, and by all accounts succeeds.
7. JetBlack M5 Pro Mag Trainer
Exceptionally quick off the mark, this is the best turbo trainer for the time-starved
Reasons to buy
Reasons to avoid
With its out-of-the-box readiness and clever quick release mounting system setting it apart from the competition, this magnetic resistance turbo trainer is one of the best for a quick setup – because sometimes, you just want to get down to business. With its wide base and anti-slip feet it's designed to stay put, even if you're pushing hard to get up that imaginary incline or relegated to the room with the treacherously slippy hardwood floor. JetBlack also promise a particularly smooth and quiet ride, claiming that the M5 Pro Mag can take the amount of resultant tyre wear from normal composite rollers and slash it by a not-inconsiderably 25 to 30 per cent, not to mention reducing noise by 55 per cent. Not too shabby – and your tyres won't be either, making this a good bet if you work out frequently and are worried about wear and tear.

Lacey Schwimmer Returns to Her SYTYCD Home as a Choreographer!
We asked TV dance star Lacey Schwimmer about her recent experience choreographing for So You Think You Can Dance Season 11. Here's what she had to say!
It's been 7 years since being featured as a dancer on the third season of SYTYCD. When they asked me to come back as a choreographer for Season 11, I couldn't have been more excited and nervous.
I wanted to create a special dance regardless of which dancers I was given, or what their style was. Luckily I got two AMAZING dancers (Ricky and Valerie) who were so easy to work with and more than willing to tackle on the challenging Viennese Waltz.
I wanted to approach the dance how they felt most comfortable (contemporary) so when we did the waltz section of the choeography they could focus hard on the technique. I knew how talented they were and that it would look great, but it actually turned out so much more amazing than I expected! I was so honored and thankful to be back on SYTYCD. It's my original dance home and I can't wait to do even more choreography for them!

"The health of most of the planet's population is rapidly coming to resemble that of the United States, where death in childhood is rare, too much food is a bigger problem than too little, and life is long and often darkened by disability.
"High blood pressure is now the leading 'risk factor' for disease around the world. Alcohol use is third. Low-back pain now causes more disability than childbirth complications or anemia.
"We are in transition to a world where disability is the dominant concern as opposed to premature death, said Christopher Murray, who headed the Global Burden of Disease Study, published on [December 13, 2012].
"The pace of change is such that we are ill prepared to deal with what the burden of disease is now in most places.
"The risk of dying prematurely from many 'adult diseases' (such as heart attacks and cancer) has also fallen because of better treatment and prevention. As a result, the average age of the world's population is getting older. Soon after 2015, for the first time in history, there will be more people older than 65 than younger than 5. That has had two consequences.
"More people are surviving to die of diseases that occur only in old age. . . . At the same time, people are living with conditions that don't kill them, but that do affect their health.

Yorktown Heights Insurance Agency wanted to share a great article from the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company on the hazards of improper installation:
Consumers and businesses are expected to purchase thousands of backup
generators as a result of record power outages in the Northeast, but The
Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company (HSB) warns that
improper installation can cause fires, property damage and serious injuries or
deaths due to carbon monoxide poisoning or electrocution.
The equipment specialists at HSB, which is part of Munich Re, advise you to
follow proper precautions when using portable generators. Fully read and
understand the manufacturer's instructions and consult a licensed electrician
whenever possible. Do not connect the generator outlets directly into a wall
outlet. This is known as backfeeding and it can cause an electrocution risk to
utility employees working to restore power and others served by the same utility
Connecting the Generator. There are two safe methods to connect your
generator: employ a licensed electrical contractor to connect the generator with
a transfer switch, or connect essential appliances directly into the outlets
mounted on the generator using properly rated extension cords. Improperly
installed generators can feed electricity into power lines outside your house or
business and cause an electrocution risk.
Location. Never use a generator indoors or in an area where carbon monoxide
combustion gas could build-up. This includes basements, attached garages,
crawl spaces, or locations adjacent to open windows and doors. Check that the
exhaust is directed away from the house. Do not use a generator in the rain or
wet conditions unless approved by the manufacturer. Keep children and pets
away from electrical generators at all times and always stay clear of downed
power lines.
Grounding. You must properly ground your generator. Follow the
manufacturer's recommendations for proper grounding requirements.
Don't Overload Generators. Most generators do not have the capacity to
power everything in your house. Prioritize your needs and use your generator to
power only essential equipment. Overloading could cause the generator to fail
and damage sensitive electrical equipment.
Power Cords. When using extension cords to power appliances, only use
heavy duty, outdoor rated power cords with an adequate wire gauge (rating).
Overloading cords can cause fires and/or equipment damage. The cords should
be free of damage and have three prongs.
Fuel. Never store fuel for your generator in the home or near a fuel burning
appliance, such as a natural gas water heater in a garage. Before refueling a
generator, turn it off and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on a hot engine could
ignite and cause damage.
Yorktown Heights Insurance Agency offers extensive home and property insurance in the event of an unfortunate incident. We pride ourselves on offering peace of mind to our customers in 2012 and beyond.
Please feel free to stop in to our new office location – 1928 Commerce St., Yorktown Heights, NY – to see us for all of your home insurance needs.

You've probably seen people asking in Trade chat about ICC rep runs. If you haven't done them, get in there! If you're not even sure why people are doing this, read on.
Killing mobs in ICC gives rep with Ashen Verdict. This is great rep to have.
If you were around in the Karazhan days, you'll remember that Kara kills got you Violet Eye rep, and each level of rep got you a better ring from the guys standing outside the instance. The same is true here. Levels of Ashen Verdict rep get you increasingly better rings. Here they are:
Friendly: Ashen Band of Vengeance (iLvL 251)
Honored: Ashen Band of Greater Vengeance (iLvL 259)
Revered: Ashen Band of Unmatched Vengeance (iLvL 268)
Exalted: Ashen Band of Endless Vengeance (iLvL 277)
On a rep run, the raid is just killing the trash in the first area, and then running out and resetting the raid. Since no bosses are killed, you don't get saved to the raid and you can run it with your guild at a later time. There is no limit to how many times you can do this. On my server, there are groups that just spend the whole day grinding Ashen Verdict rep this way, swapping people in and out as needed to keep the raid full.
Also, there are crafting recipes available at various levels of Ashen Verdict rep. I'm not going to list all of the recipes here, but they have some for tailoring, leatherworking, and blacksmithing. They also have the very in-demand recipes for epic bullets and arrows. The bullet recipe is available to goblin engineers, and the arrow recipe is for gnomish engineers.

You're ready to make the leap. The thought of finding your dream home is an exciting prospect. Building a new home, customized and tailored to you, even more so! You've spent a lot of time thinking about your ideal home, but how much of time have you spent interviewing potential builders?Engaging with a professional builder is an important step in the home-building process. You should feel open to ask any number of questions that come to mind. It's a process of turning unknowns into knowns. Cost is, of course, one of the first questions you'll want to ask. But setting aside the most obvious one, here is a list of ten important questions you should ask a builder before making your final decision.
1. Is There A List Of Recent Buyers Available To Review?
If they're an established building company, it means they've been at it for a while. They should have a list of references for you to review. If there's an opportunity to do some scouting before breaking ground, why not take the opportunity?!
2. Is There A Pre-Established Financing Plan?
There are a variety of mortgage loans available through major financial institutions. However, most builders already have a routine financing plan for their construction process through preferred lenders. It's important to find out early on and see how this can benefit you.
3. Are There Additional Fees Related To The Home Or Development?
Nobody likes hidden fees. That's not to say there are any attached to your new home, but there can often be development fees and taxes associated with home building. It's best to ask now so you're prepared.
4. What Can And Cannot Be Customized?
Intertwined with questions of cost is customization. What features may be customized and what are considered standard? Is there any negotiating room?
5. Are There Different Floor Plan And Add-On Options?
Part of the new home draw is often the flexibility to create the exact space you need. Can the basement be left unfinished? Can a deck or porch be added to the exterior? If it's being built from the ground up, build it to meet your needs.
6. Does The Price Include Landscaping And Are There Any Guarantees?
Landscaping costs can add up when it comes to a new build, depending on your ambitions. Many builders include some form of landscaping, but it's important to clarify and investigate further. Are there quality assurances with new grass and new trees?
7. What Does Your Warranty Program Cover?
Once your new build has been planned, it's time to discuss the warranty. As of February 2014, every new home built in Alberta is protected under Alberta's New Home Buyer Protection Act. Coverage is provided by home warranty providers. Make sure you know exactly what you'll be covered for in your new home.
8. What Are The Estimated Property taxes? When Did They Last Increase?
It's time to dive into the details. This question may sound pretty basic, but knowing how much you'll need to budget for in the years ahead is very important!
9. What Kind Of Facilities, Services And Amenities Are In The Neighbourhood?
It's important to think long term. Everyone's lifestyle is different and as such everyone prioritizes different local facilities, services and so on. Ask yourself: what am I searching for now? 5 years from now? 10 years from now?
10. Are You Familiar With Any Other Major Development Plans Coming To The Area?
Again, there's great value in looking ahead. Whether this is your first home, your final home or something in between, it's important to ask about future development. There are numerous factors that will affect your home's value, and some of them lie in what's to come.
Aside from inquiring about specific pricing and design, keep the above questions in mind when you interview a builder. At StreetSide Developments, we're here to help. Not only will we provide you with valuable insight into our building practices, but asking important questions ahead of time can spare you from any surprises down the road.

One way to get yourself and the kids to eat more spinach is to grow it yourself. Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) prefers cool weather, so plant it in early spring, late summer or early fall. Some types of spinach are susceptible to diseases that can kill the plant while it is young. Most varieties of spinach will go to seed when things heat up, meaning the leaves become bitter.
Leaf Shape
Some varieties of spinach have crinkled or savoy leaves while others have plain, flat leaves. A third type is known as semi-savoy. The leaves of a semi-savoy spinach are slightly crinkled. The type of spinach you grow depends on your own taste. Some people enjoy the texture of crinkled leaf varieties, such as "Bloomsdale" or "Winter Bloomsdale." Crinkly leaved spinach does tend to be grittier, since dirt gets stuck in the savoy leaves. If you want less sandy spinach, pick a plain leaf variety, such as "Giant Nobel" or "Olympia." For the best of both worlds, pick a semi-savoy type, such as "Melody" or "Tyee."
All spinach types will bolt, or produce seeds, at some point or another. Seeds are how the plant reproduces. If you live in an area that gets hot quickly, you might want a slow-bolting variety so that you have more time to harvest the leaves. Once the plant bolts, it puts its attention into making seeds, so the leaves deteriorate. "Olympia" and "Winter Bloomsdale" are two varieties that are slow to bolt. "Chesapeake" spinach is eager to bolt, so should be avoided if you live in a warm area.
Disease Resistance
Certain diseases can ruin a crop of spinach. Cucumber mosaic virus can infect some varieties, leading to blight. Spinach plants with blight turn yellow, have stunted growth and ultimately die. The plants can also suffer from fungal diseases such as downy mildew. "Melody" and "Tyee" resist downy mildew, while "Vienna" is resistant to certain types of downy mildew and blight. "Winter Bloomsdale" can tolerate mosaic virus. If you don't grow resistant or tolerant varieties, give each plant ample room to reduce the risk of fungal infection and plant the spinach in raised beds or a container instead of in the ground.
Fake Spinach
Some types of spinach aren't really spinach at all. They are grown because they tolerate heat better than real spinach and have a similar taste. New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonoides) thrives in hot temperatures. The plant grows up to 2 feet high and has branched leaves, so it doesn't look like regular spinach in the garden. Malabar spinach (Basella alba) is another fake spinach. Malabar loves the heat and will grow rapidly when the temperature is around 90 degrees. It's a tropical vine with leaves that are either green or red. You can use the leaves of Malabar or New Zealand spinach as you would regular spinach leaves.

The title of this post will be: 2011- The Year in which Alex Builds a Stable Table (and other things too)!
One day I will have a job! I don't know when that's going to be but hopefully it will be before March 1st. Having a job will mean having an apartment! Yet, one thing I want to change this time around is that I really want to focus on decorating and furnishing my apartment.
You see, I never really had the chance to make money when I lived in Albany. Since most of my money went to the finer things in life: paying $650 for rent, $100 for cable and internet…I didn't have the money for furniture. If people wanted a place to sit in my studio they had four options:
1. bed (for 7 months, it was an inflatable bed…for the last 3 weeks it was a real bed)
2. rocking chair
3. computer chair
4. floor
If you wanted to eat in my apartment, I would direct you to the white, wicker coffee table in which we would sit on the aforementioned computer chair and rocking chair.
To tell you the truth- as barebones as it was- I still had the time of my life in that studio.
Now that I'm on unemployment, I still don't have money. But! I really want to use my ample time to do something constructive.
Even if it means doing some construction.
Did you see that table on the top of the post? I'm going to make it. I'll say it right now, I haven't built many things in my life unless you count office chairs or the birdhouses I made when I was in Girl Scouts.
There's a reason why I want to make a table. I want to acquire a new skill. This thing is not going to be easy. For example, my stepdad has already told me that you can't just nail something together and expect it to be durable. I'd like to see if I have what it takes.
I'd like to use recycled wood as per the directions but the truth is, I can't even think of where to find it. If I knew where to get it, I'd go for it but I don't know where one can find recycled pallets in Sullivan County. I'll probably end up going to Home Depot and get some wood.
I might as well take advantage of living at home. It's the only place that has tools.

Caterham have confirmed that they will continue to use Renault power
Deal extended for three more seasons
By Mike Wise
Last Updated: 22/09/13 10:26am
The partnership, which started in 2011, means the Leafield-based team will make use of the French manufacturer's new power unit. The unit, which comprises a 1.6-litre V6 turbocharged engine plus enhanced energy recovery systems, is in line with new regulations being introduced by the FIA next season.
Sunday's announcement is not a surprise given the partnership Caterham formed with Alpine, the French sportscar concern owned by Renault, in 2012 to develop a new range of lightweight roadcars.
"This announcement is obviously very good news for our F1 team and is a reflection of the deep bonds that have been created between our two businesses since 2011, particularly with the roadcar project we launched in 2012 between Caterham and Alpine, which is now at an advanced stage in development," Team Principal Cyril Abiteboul said.
"The 2014 season heralds a new era for F1 with our sport taking a positive stance in aligning itself with the technical changes in the global automotive industry, and Renault is right at the cutting edge of that development."

In 2015, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released an online tool to check the prices of prescription drugs used by Medicare patients, and that tool has now been updated with the latest figures on spending. The drug tracking tool was necessary because of the rise in prices over the last few years, something that shows no signs of stopping and that can hit patients when they least expect it. Prescription drugs keep people healthier, and in many cases, keep people alive. Tracking spending is just one way to make sure that life-saving medication remains affordable. As research continues, more drugs and additional treatments will likely become indispensable. But that also raises the possibility of higher costs.
New Version Released
The CMS has released an updated version of the tool with 2015 spending, noting that drug companies have begun raising prices on critical medications like the Epi-Pen, insulin-based medications and expensive drug combinations that combine two drugs originally sold separately for less. By tracking the costs of medication, you and your doctor can be on the lookout for price increases, which could help you find cheaper substitutes that work the same without the higher price tag.
What the Tool is Tracking
The CMS drug price tool allows you to see drugs included in Medicare Parts B and D that are considered higher priced or that have had substantial price increases. You can also look up five-year trends for individual drugs. With the update, Medicaid drugs are included in the database as well, and you can look up rebates that have been available in the past. These rebates have helped alleviate some financial burden, though their effects are often limited by additional price increases or by specific restrictions on who can take advantage of them.
Between 2012 and 2015, personal spending on prescription drugs increased 1.3 percent, with an actual dollar increase of $90 billion. The CMS estimates that price increases will continue at a rate of about 6.7 percent through 2025, which means that tracking drug prices and being able to head them off through a combination of rebates, coupons and substitutions will become only more essential.
Widespread Effects
The effect of drug price increases on Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries is immediate and often harsh, but what you might not realize is that these price increases also affect the national budget and taxes paid by non-beneficiaries. Much of the help given to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries outside of manufacturer rebates comes from taxes and government spending. If drug prices go up, spending and taxes will increase to compensate.
As an example, the Medicare program covers most of the cost – 80 percent – above what is known as the catastrophic limit. Catastrophic coverage starts once you've reached a certain out-of-pocket limit on spending; in 2017, the limit is $4,950. With the cost of prescriptions on the rise, you'll reach that limit more quickly, and taxpayers will have to pick up the slack. What's more, the need for medication doesn't lessen once a certain monetary amount has been reached, which means taxpayers will continue picking up the tab as costs increase.
CMS says that Medicare Part D catastrophic coverage payments increased 85 percent between 2013 and 2015. Even after adding in rebates, that's a stunning increase. Some of the increase in costs is due to more prescriptions being used, but the majority of the costs are due to those price increases.
Rebates help, but only so much. Estimates from the CMS for rebate spending in 2014 topped $16 billion. However, the rebates covered only certain drugs, and the average rebate covered less than 20 percent of the cost of the drugs. Another issue is that rebates offered for drugs paid through Medicare are not as substantial as those paid through other programs.
Spending on the Rise
Certain drugs cost substantially more than others, not only in manufacturing cost but in personal use as well. In 2015, the top five drugs in terms of spending for Part D were Spiriva and Advair Diskus (both used to treat obstructive pulmonary disease), Crestor (for cholesterol), Lantus/Lantus Solostar (for diabetes), and Harvoni (for chronic hepatitis C).
Between 2014 and 2015, spending on Harvoni alone jumped from not even a billion dollars to over $7 billion. The drug was introduced in October 2014. Brand-name prescriptions aren't the only drugs that have seen increases in spending. Some generic drugs also jumped substantially, by as much as 500 percent in some cases.
If you're a Medicare beneficiary, it's essential that you talk to your doctor so that you can get information about price increases and usage statistics. This will facilitate advanced planning and help you avoid surprise cost increases. Taking a proactive approach to your medication will also help administrators and government officials keep track of dangerously high-cost increases that could make life-saving medications unaffordable.

In today's fast changing political and economic landscape, many countries are grappling with the impact of the digital economy and the opportunities it presents for global growth and inclusive development.
A huge gap has opened up between countries and firms that are able to seize these opportunities and those that cannot. And the existing platforms and rules for global trade are highly skewed towards the interests of large corporations, leaving few opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises, accounting for about 80 per cent of all businesses, to benefit from the new opportunities.
This is particularly the case for young entrepreneurs, women in business and entrepreneurs from other vulnerable groups.
During the two hours interactive dialogue, speakers will touch upon new ways of development leveraging technologies and e-commerce for sustainable development.
The session will be moderated by Nancy Kacungira, news anchor and journalist, International African Woman of the Year Award in 2016 and BBC News Komly Dumor Award in 2015.
Other speakers include: representatives of governments and international organizations, captains of industry, entrepreneurs, civil society, academia and youth.
