Who Needs Long-Term Care Insurance? - Texas
Just about anyone…
Men. Even though there is no guarantee if (or when) you may need long-term care services, as a man, you stand a reasonably good chance of eventually needing long-term care services at some point in your life. Long-term care can be very expensive, and can disrupt the best-laid retirement and asset distribution plans. Because you have to be reasonably healthy to qualify for long-term care insurance (LTCi), it's important to apply for coverage while you are younger and healthier.
Women. Long-term care is in many ways a women's issue. This is because women are more likely to spend some time as a long-term care provider to a family member. This experience provides women with a first-hand appreciation of the potential value of long-term care insurance. Women live longer than men on average. Long-term care can help ensure women have access to private-pay care, even if they outlive a spouse. Because you have to be reasonably healthy to qualify for long-term care insurance, it's important to apply for coverage while you are younger and healthier.
You are between the ages of 45-65 and healthy. While New York Life Insurance Company makes long-term care insurance available to people between the ages of 18-79 (in most states), rates increase with age and it's smart to purchase coverage when you are younger and more likely to be approved by underwriting for long-term care insurance. We encourage people to consider purchasing long-term care insurance early as insurability is typically higher at younger ages for most people. We encourage people who choose to delay adding long-term care insurance to their plans until later in life to be sure and apply for coverage before age 65 when premium rates may be lower.
Married Couples who are over 50 years old with children. Children typically take the lead in coordinating or providing care for their parents. Long-term care insurance actually makes it easier for children to help care for a parent by removing the burden of being the primary caregivers. If a couple is over 50 and they have children, their children may have kids of their own. This "sandwich generation," as it's called, may struggle with taking care of their parents' long-term care needs, and taking care of their own kids simultaneously. Having long-term care insurance coverage can help alleviate stress for both parents and their children.
Married Couples who are over 40 years old without children. Children typically take the lead in coordinating or providing care for their parents. Long-term care insurance can help couples without children coordinate and pay for care. The Care Coordinator feature of New York Life's Long-Term Care Insurance can prove to be particularly helpful for couples without children.
Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Individuals. Long-term care insurance can be an important financial tool for LGBT individuals. LGBT individuals sometimes have a more limited support system and family network. Financial and care coordination assistance from children may also be less available. Federal financial support and access to a same sex spouse's benefits is also sometimes more of an issue for LGBT individuals. New York Life extends its marital discounts to same sex couples in many jurisdictions. Contact an agent for details.
Singles, particularly women. For single people, long-term care insurance can help pay for care that might otherwise be provided by a spouse or family members. The Care Coordinator feature of New York Life's Long-Term Care Insurance policy can also be helpful for singles because it can help them locate and obtain care services. Because women can live longer on average, they have many more years during which they may experience a need for long-term care.
Widows and widowers. Like single people, widowers may find that long-term care insurance can help pay for care that might otherwise be provided by a spouse or family members.
Business Owners. Long-term care insurance may provide tax deductions for both business owners and employees. Making long-term care insurance available as an employee benefit may help improve employee productivity because it reduces the time off employees may need to take to care for loved ones who need long-term care. Employers of pass-through entities and sole proprietorships who offer long-term care insurance to employees, or purchase coverage on themselves, may have certain tax advantages. Business owners may also be able to utilize an executive carve-out arrangement to utilize available tax advantages related to long-term care insurance premiums and benefits. Click here to learn more about tax advantages and long-term care insurance.
Planners. Many people choose to purchase long-term care insurance as part of addressing the overall financial plan. If you choose not to purchase private long-term care insurance you are left with two options if you need long-term care: 1. Self-insure/pay for care out of pocket or from savings or assets; or 2. Qualify for Medicaid, a government health care program for eligible individuals with low income and resources. For many, transferring the long-term care risk to an insurance company just makes good sense, and it's something that gets addressed as part of the overall retirement plan.
Divorcees. Like single people, divorcees may find that long-term care insurance can help pay for care that may have otherwise been provided by a spouse or family member.
Second Marriages. Quite often in second marriages, couples select to keep at least a portion of their money separate out of a desire to set aside funds for children from a previous marriage. If one person in that relationship should eventually need long-term care and uses up their funds paying for care, the other person may have to eventually use the money allocated for the children. If two people are married, the government does not recognize a separation of finances. Getting a long-term care insurance policy may help protect one's assets, and allow them to be used as planned.
The purpose of this material is solicitation of insurance. An insurance agent may contact you. Long-term care insurance policies are issued on policy form series ILTC-5000 and INH-5000 with a state identifier where applicable and edition date. These policies may have exclusions and limitations.

Adoption Law
CompactLaw provides free legal information regarding the adoption process, including the different methods of adoption, the role of adoption agencies and the different types of adoption orders that can be made by a court.
We also provide details of who can actually adopt and the process, this changed under the Adoption & Children Act 2002. Under the Act single people (regardless of sexual orientation) can adopt, also unmarried couples and same-sex couples can also apply to adopt a child. The aim of the Act is to encourage more adoptions, whilst keeping the interests of the child to be adopted paramount.
We also provide information on inter-country adoptions and the process of adopting a child or children from overseas. This has become more popular as potential adopters have found the process of adopting a child born in the UK more difficult.
However, the government has made it a clear policy to reform the adoption process to encourage more adoption of UK children and reduce the number of children in care and the amount of time they wait to be adopted.
If you are interested in finding out more about adoption and meeting other people considering adoption please see the adoption section on PollenTree.com
PollenTree.com is completely free to join and contains all the latest adoption news and information.

When winter is gone and your spring cleaning is fully underway, you'll eventually find yourself in your closet… pondering what to do. We'll tackle organizing a closet in a second, but first I wanted to give you a few tips on storing your winter clothes.
Items You Will Need:
- 18 gallon tote for snow gear
- Clear packing/shipping tape and marker (or label maker)
- Damp rags to wipe down boots
- Leather cleaner (if necessary)
- Clothing storage boxes
- Shoe bench or shoe storage boxes
- Camera and photo paper (or laser jet paper)
- Cedar Pieces or Cedar Lining Rolls to place in the bottom of the storage boxes
Remove All of Your Winter Items
Make sure you have an area in your house that is cleaned out and has enough room to hold all of your winter items – this will be your sorting area. Go through your closet and remove all of your heavy sweaters, thick shirts, winter hats, winter gloves, scarves, winter coats and winter shoes and place them in your sorting area. You might want to leave a couple of sweatshirts or a long sleeve sweater or 2 in your closet in case the weather gets un-seasonally cold.
- Wash and dry all of the winter clothes that you are going to store.
- Take your bulky jackets, scarves and winter hats to the dry cleaner so they are cleaned before they are packed away. You don't want any stains or odors to set into your clothes while they're stored.
- Wipe down and treat winter boots before placing them in storage.
- Wipe out any drawers that are going to be used to store your winter clothes, or if you're going to use storage boxes, now is a good time to pull them out and add some cedar pieces or cedar lining rolls.
Pack & Store
When all of your winter items are cleaned, it's time to start packing them away.
- Collect snow gear – coats, snow pants, boots, etc and arrange them into 18 gallon totes or large rolling storage bags, beginning with boots at the bottom. Next, put the coats and pants in, topping it off with hats, gloves, and scarves. If you wish to, you can pair the gloves together with safety pins or rubber bands. Tuck the totes into the very back of the closet, whether it is under a shelf or behind the hanging coat rack, or in the attic or basement if you have room.
- Place a long strip of clear packing/shipping tape on the top of the tote and also on the end of the tote that will be facing out. Using the marker, write "Snow Gear" on both pieces of the clear shipping tape – if you want to use the tote at a later date for something else, you can just remove the clear packing/shipping tape. If you prefer, you can use your label maker instead of clear tape.
- Bulky Sweaters – fold flat and place them in storage boxes or large rolling storage bags. If you have several bulky sweaters, you can organize them by color and place them in the storage box. If your storage box isn't clear, you can use your label maker or clear packing/shipping tape and marker to write what is inside on the tape. For example, Pink Bulky Sweaters. You can also lay all of the sweaters together, but not on top of each other and take a picture before they're folded. Print it out on regular or photo paper and, using the clear packing tape, tape it onto the top and/or side of the storage container. Line the bottom of the storage box with cedar pieces or cedar lining rolls to keep moths away.
- Thin Winter Sweaters & Long Sleeved Shirts – You can either separate these items by color or by type. After you've grouped the items, take a picture of the items that will be stored together. Next, either fold the items flat or if you have several items, roll them into a tight ball. By rolling the sweaters and shirts, you can usually fit more items into a smaller space and the clothes will not have a folding crease when you pull them out. Place them in storage boxes that will be placed in a spare closet, attic or basement or in an under bed storage chest that can slide right under your bed. If you've taken a picture, print it out and place it on the storage box and label what is inside just like you did with the bulky sweaters. Don't forget to label the part that will be seen – i.e. either the top of the storage box or the side that will be facing out and to line the bottom of the storage box with cedar pieces or cedar lining rolls.
- Scarves, Hats & Gloves – If you can fit them all in 1 storage box, lay them out and photograph them all together and repeat the labeling process. If they won't all fit into 1 storage box, then pair them off so all of the matching items are together and then repeat the labeling and cedar processes.
- Shoe Storage – After you've cleaned up your winter shoes and, if necessary, treated them with leather cleaner, it's time to get them ready for storage. Get some plastic or cedar shoe trees and place them in your shoes so they will retain their shape while they are in storage. If you choose the plastic shoe shapers, then add a cedar shoe sachet into each shoe. You can either use a shoe storage bench or shoe storage boxes—you don't want to store your winter shoes in a shoe cubby or on a shoe rack – you'll want to make sure the shoes stay covered while in storage. If you choose shoe storage boxes, repeat the labeling process above.
Now that your closet is partially cleaned out and you've got some tips on how to store your winter clothes, it's time to learn how to organize your closet. If you have tips on how to store winter clothes, please post them in the comments below.

What's Really Causing the Deep Freeze in the U.S.?
Some scientists say the distorted "polar vortex" is to be blamed for the big chill that moved across the Midwest, Southeast and Northeast this week. Others say the real reason for the cold temperatures may be more complicated. WSJ's Monika Vosough reports. (Photo: Getty Images)

Cleethorpes TowerEdit
[1]Cleethorpes Tower in GTA IV.Added by ZSCleethorpes Tower is a skyscraper in the fashionable Hatton Gardens shopping district of Algonquin in Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV, and stands at a height of 664 feet.
Description [2]EditEdit
The tower is stated in peepthatshit.com as a building that "was built by Lyle Cleethorpes V purely to demonstrate to the world his great wealth. As a filthy-rich heir to a, quite frankly, awful family, fame obsessed Cleethorpes will do anything to get his face or name up in lights."
The tower, as well as the person involved in its construction, are based on both the Trump Tower in Manhattan, New York City, as well as Donald Trump. Cleethorpes Tower bears an uncanny resemblance with the Trump Tower down to the vegetated terraced decks near the base, and its facade design.
Trivia [3]EditEdit
- A building of similar construction, know as Morning Star Building was previously featured in the GTA III—GTA Vice City Stories rendition of Liberty City, being located near the southern tip of Torrington, Staunton Island.
- Trump Tower was on the console version's front cover of the original Grand Theft Auto.
- According to the in game website peepthatshit.com the Cleethorpes Tower has a balcony on the top floor which is "Used by rich people to spit on poor people below."

My name is Stephanie and I'm a domestic violence survivor. I prefer the word survivor, not victim. I'm also a newly divorced parent to two wonderful girls, ages four and six.
I have a great job and I'm college-educated, but there's no education or experience in the world that teaches you how to pull yourself, and your loved ones, away from an abuser. It was the hardest, yet most freeing, decision I ever made.
That said, I'm emotionally and physically exhausted most of the time from being a single parent and working full-time. Being in a domestic violence situation also robbed me of a support system, which I've been struggling to rebuild. I've also been learning to budget as a single-income family.
The timing couldn't have been more perfect for DailyWorth to pair me with national credit and financial expert Erica Sandberg for the Money Fix. Erica is an angel from finance heaven! She helped me design a plan to get and stay on the right path:
- Close my monthly budget shortfall of almost $500. Yes, $500. I currently juggle bills from month to month and use cash advances from my bank to get by between paychecks. I have minimal available credit, since I carry a lot of bad debt from my marriage.
Erica suggested I cut my budget more and bring in more income by babysitting evenings or weekends. She said if I were to charge the going rate of $10/hour, babysitting 20 hours a week could add another $200 a week.
This seems like the most reasonable way to close the budget gap, since I've already shaved my expenses as much as possible.
- Pursue the $500 monthly child-support payments that I'm owed. My ex-husband has never paid child support, and is nine months behind. I applied for services through the Child Support Enforcement division in my state in January and have only received one letter asking for additional information.
It's time to be more proactive, but it's difficult to reach this office by phone and I can't afford to spend time away from my job to chase them down. The red tape involved with something that seemed so simple is quite daunting, especially when it's the state's job to be proactive in these cases.
- Deal with my debt and rebuild my credit. An attorney advised me not to file bankruptcy, so I talked with Erica about sitting on the debt until the collectors are no longer able to take me to court. Erica suggested that I review my credit reports for the date of last activity (the day the creditor charged off the account, or the date I last made a payment), since the statute of collections for each state is different and is based on those dates.
This strategy will essentially allow me to start from scratch and rebuild my credit without carrying the burden of bad debt. Rebuilding my credit is another important key to my future. Owning a home is one of my dreams.
Talking to Erica helped me see that I've been doing the right things for the past year. A lot of times I felt like a failure and that I should be doing better, but now I finally feel like I'm heading in the right direction.

New Zealand's central bank governor said he's ready to intervene in foreign-exchange markets, adding to comments by officials from South Korea to South America warning their currencies are too strong, even as Group-of-20 nations say they'll refrain from competitive devaluation.
The New Zealand dollar fell against its 16 major peers after Reserve Bank Governor Graeme Wheeler said "the kiwi is not a one-way bet." After Japan's leaders pledged steps to boost the economy that caused the yen to tumble, policy makers in South Korea and the Philippines are weighing curbs to capital inflows, while Norway's central bank said it is ready to cut interest rates to counter the krone's strength.
While European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said two days ago that finance chiefs should exercise prudence when talking about foreign-exchange movements, Wheeler said in a speech to manufacturers and exporters today in Auckland that he's "prepared to intervene to influence the kiwi." The New Zealand dollar slid 1.2% to 83.63 U.S. cents at 1:16 p.m. in New York. The country isn't a member of the G-20.
"There seems to be a sense that the gloves are off in terms of central-bank action in currency markets," said Mitul Kotecha, global head of foreign-exchange strategy at Credit Agricole SA in Hong Kong. "Wheeler's comments are a clear reflection of the G-20 stance, wherein the green light appears to be given to any central bank that wants to intervene in the currency as long as they don't talk about particular levels."
Kiwi's Gain
The kiwi has surged almost 45% against the dollar since the end of 2008, the biggest advance after its Australian counterpart among over 150 currencies tracked by Bloomberg. It strengthened to 88.43 U.S. cents on Aug. 1, 2011, the highest level since it was freely-floated in 1985.
Finance ministers and central bankers from G-20 nations pledged in a Feb. 16 statement not "to target our exchange rates for competitive purposes," while refraining from singling out Japan for weakening its currency.
Since Japan's Shinzo Abe called for unlimited money printing by the central bank when he was opposition leader on Nov. 15, the yen has slid 13% against the dollar, the biggest decline among major currencies. Elections the following month elevated him to prime minister.

- 1 Follow Package Guidelines
- 2 How To Use SVN
- 3 The Process
- 4 Staging Directories
- 5 Miscellaneous Stuff
Follow Package Guidelines
Package guidelines can be found in the Arch Linux documentation. Please follow them closely.
How To Use SVN
Non-recursive checkout
For core, extra, testing and staging repos:
svn checkout -N svn+ssh://email@example.com/srv/repos/svn-packages/svn svn-packages
For community, community-testing, community-staging, multilib, multilib-testing, multilib-staging:
svn checkout -N svn+ssh://email@example.com/srv/repos/svn-community/svn svn-community
This creates two directories named "svn-packages" and "svn-community" which contains nothing. It does, however, know that it is an svn checkout.
Checkout a package
You can use `archco` to fetch a dir in the svn-packages repository or `communityco` to fetch a dir from the svn-community repo. You don't need to be in an svn checkout to do that.
Otherwise you have to cd the svn checkout and exec:
svn update package-name
This will pull the package you requested into your checkout. From now on, any time you `svn update` at the top level, this will be updated as well.
Updating all packages
cd svn-packages svn update
Adding a package
cd svn-packages mkdir -p new-package/{repos,trunk} $EDITOR new-package/trunk/PKGBUILD svn add new-package svn propset svn:keywords "Id" new-package/trunk/PKGBUILD svn commit
Removing a package
ssh nymeria.archlinux.org /packages/db-remove repo-name arch packagename i.e. /packages/db-remove core i686 openssh
And if you want to really kill the package, you will need to
svn rm
the entire package directory after the above steps and commit the deletion.
Sometime the previous command yields:
svn: E155035: "'/path/to/pkg/<PKG>' is the root of a working copy and cannot be deleted"
You can remotely remove it with:
svn rm svn+ssh://email@example.com/srv/repos/svn-packages/svn/<PKG>
Moving a package between repos
ssh nymeria.archlinux.org /packages/db-move fromrepo torepo packagename i.e. /packages/db-move testing core openssh
Alternatively, the move from testing is so common we have helper scripts:
/packages/testing2x openssh bzip2 coreutils /packages/testing2x64 openssh bzip2 coreutils
These scripts only work if the packages on the commandline are either in core or extra. If a package is only in testing, you have to use testing2core, testing2core64, testing2extra or testing2extra64.
"Tagging" releases
Fetch the package dir using `archco` or `communityco` or from an svn checkout. Then
cd package-name/trunk archrelease extra-i686
This makes an svn copy of the trunk entries in a directory named "extra-i686" indicating that this package is in the extra repository for the i686 architecture. This will be done automatically when using tools such as extrapkg (see below)
Cleaning up your checkout
Since you are now maintaining a non-recursive checkout, you may want to get rid of packages that you are no longer tracking:
svn update package1 package2 --set-depth exclude
Or if you want an empty toplevel again:
svn update --set-depth empty
The Process
Checkout/update your local repository
cd svn-packages svn update
Update the needed package
svn update some-package
Traverse to the package's trunk directory
cd some-package/trunk/
Change and build
$EDITOR PKGBUILD makechrootpkg
It is mandatory to build your package using a clean chroot
Run namcap on both PKGBUILD and package
namcap PKGBUILD namcap some-package-1.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Use devtools to upload and commit
This is repo dependent. For 'extra', you use 'extrapkg'. 'testingpkg' for 'testing', etc
extrapkg "A commit message"
Update the repository
Use 'db-update'. It will find new packages for any repository and it manages both i686 and x86_64 architectures at once, if present. For example:
ssh nymeria.archlinux.org /packages/db-update
Staging Directories
Staging directories are needed on nymeria.archlinux.org for uploading of packages. The following structure is NOT automatically created. You must do it yourself:
~/staging/ |-- core/ |-- extra/ `-- testing/
These directories are searched by the db scripts to find new packages and those slated for removal.
Miscellaneous Stuff
$Id$ tags are a nice helper for PKGBUILDs and should be added to the top of all PKGBUILDs in a comment. However, svn needs an additional push to know that it should modify this line on checkout.
svn propset svn:keywords "Id" my-package/trunk/PKGBUILD
Package checking tools
Run on both your PKGBUILD and package to check for common packaging problems.
Run (as root) in the directory with your freshly built package to get a file list diff compared with the package version currently in the repos.
Commit messages
Please try to write concise commit messages. If the package is simply an upstream change, that is fine, but if anything more complex changes, please inform us by writing an appropriate commit message.
Avoid having to enter your password all the time
When working with extrapkg and the other devtools, quite a few ssh connections are established, even when using ssh keys and the ssh agent. You can work around that.
Add this to your $HOME/.ssh/config:
ControlPath /home/<your username>/.ssh/master-%h-%p-%r Host nymeria.archlinux.org
Now, before you start working, open a ssh session with
ssh -M nymeria.archlinux.org
Enter your password and leave that session open until you are finished. All ssh sessions (including scp and svn+ssh) will now be tunneled through this connection.

(NewsUSA) – Just as spring is a time for rebirth, autumn is also considered a transitional season. The weather turns brisk, the leaves on trees change from dull brown to a firestorm of color, and darkness settles in earlier.
For many, it is a favorite time of year, but for others it can be a trigger to falling off the health and fitness wagon. After all, how can you be expected to ignore pumpkin spice lattes?
The key, say experts, is to set goals before the new year, not over a drink as the clock strikes midnight.
"Fall … is a great time to start a fitness program because you're going to create good habits for the holiday season and the upcoming winter months," says Justin Price, owner of Biomechanics, a personal training and wellness coaching facility in San Diego, Calif.
The following tips will give you ideas on how to stay healthy (and maybe even avoid the pumpkin cheesecake) through what is arguably one of the most pleasant times of the year:
* Head for the hills. Fall is a great time to get outside and explore your own backyard. So, grab a friend and find a local park to walk, run or bike on. If you're lucky enough to live close to hills or mountains, autumn is a perfect time to go for a hike.
* Turn chores into a workout. Raking leaves or gardening burns about 150 calories every 30 minutes, so if you find that you don't have time for exercise, grab a rake or a hoe, and turn seasonal tasks into a fat-burning workout.
* Drink plenty of water. Without water, no living thing can survive, which means it is crucial to maintaining optimal health. While water has a myriad of health benefits, research has shown that in order for your body to function properly, it must continuously work to maintain a proper pH, or chemical balance.
This, say experts, is why drinking alkaline ionized water such as Alkame Water (www.alkamewater.com) should be an essential part of anyone's health plan. The mild alkalinity is recommended by doctors because it allows for more effective hydration by supporting an optimal pH-balanced body. Additionally, Alkame is a powerful source of antioxidants, which boost the immune system, while also improving aerobic capacity and enhancing energy levels.
* Try something new. Fall is the perfect time to gain new physical skills, says Price. Always wanted to learn to in-line skate or ride a horse? Fall is a great time to explore an activity that you've always wanted to try.

Though it is most likely Vimeo, Instagram is said to be coming to WP8
Instagram has been confirmed to be heading for Windows Phone, according to a report by The Verge. We've previously managed to enjoy third-party alternatives due to no official app being available for Windows Phone consumers, which is until the Instagram team decided to destroy all hopes by denying developers the ability to include upload functionality into their apps. We've continued to sit tight and hope for a speedy arrival of an official offering.
The service is already available on iOS and Android, leaving Windows Phone in the dark for now. But what's kicking this news off? A Nokia PureMotion video reportedly featured an Instagram Live Tile that appeared to show comment and like counters (see above / below). While no information has been released surrounding Instagram for Windows Phone, we find it hard to believe this would be an exclusive for Nokia Lumia smartphones when it eventually arrives on the Marketplace.
The Verge notes that it could well be the Vimeo app in the video (afterall, Nokia has a special-edition of Vimeo on the way), but they note they've managed to get confirmation on Instagram indeed heading to Windows Phone. (The Verge maintains an 84% accuracy rating on Tracour). This is not news by any means as we've been waiting for an official app to arrive - there's little doubt that Instagram will eventually be available for Windows Phone. The question is when. Excited to see an official Instagram app on the platform? Be sure to sound off in the comments.

In November 2010 we took an important step as a practice. We opened our doors. We said, 'If you feel you need to see us, come down. If you feel you'd like a telephone call, ring us and we'll ring you back.'
Prior to November 2010 we had a GP on call, with patients phoning for urgent appointments. We would ring them back, usually ask them to come down depending on which GP was on call, and try to manage our workload and their problems. Phone calls and attendances would start at 3pm and finish at 6.30 at the earliest, often with visits in between, and there were extras in each routine clinic. Staff had the difficult job of managing demand amongst doctors, and we could see have up to 60-70 contacts in an afternoon for one GP.
To set some context, we are a large practice with 4 sites and over 27,000 patients. We have over 15,500 patients at our largest site, next to A&E but with high demand and high levels of social and medical morbidities. Over the last decade we had tried models such as nurse practitioner triage, GP telephone triage, minor illness clinics. We had recruited more doctors, more nurses, more reception staff due to a sustained rise in list size. How could we improve access for our patients?
So back to November 2010. The doors opened. Our Urgent Care Service was opened. We are very tight on space but we dedicated 3 clinical rooms to the service, built a separate entrance and allocated a separate waiting room and reception desk for registered patients with urgent, on the day, problems. No phone call needed. We employed nurse practitioners and an additional GP. We opened more routine appointments (no need for extras). We established a GP rota and ensured the Nurses and GPs worked as a team, with reception trained to ensure urgent problems such as chest pain or strokes were screened at the desk. Urgent and elective care was separated and access increased without contractual change or additional payment.
How do we judge if it has been successful? Patients think it is, and satisfaction surveys have been extremely positive. One patient judged the service as 8/10 because they'd 'had to wait 8 minutes', but the service has been extremely popular. We coped with a flu epidemic when we would have struggled, we can adapt the number of GPs and nurses per session as we can predict demand and routine surgeries now start and finish on time. Generally, patients are seen with 20 minutes, sometimes immediately, although at peak times it can be longer. Patients are learning when is best to attend. The doors open from 8.30 to 11.30 and 2.30 to 5.30. If there is a surge in demand GPs can help by seeing additional patients, but it is relatively rare. The 5.30-6.30 period is now relatively quiet.
In the last 12 months we have seen over 24,000 patients in our urgent care service. Most have been appropriate, and we have seen a small but significant reduction in A&E use during the day. Staff are not spending hours on the phone trying to get an urgent appointment for a patient, and visits seem to have reduced. Personally, I feel more confident having 'eyeballed' patients, and telephone calls are now genuinely for problems that can be dealt with on the phone. There are still some teething problems, some inappropriate attendances or days with longer waits, but we are getting there. We may have increased demand, but we provide a better service and we can't ask patients not to go to A&E if we don't provide an alternative.

Wow. Well done. As a patient, this is exactly what I need - no more ringing the surgery repeatedly at 8.30am hoping to get through to book an 'urgent' appointment that isn't really urgent, but the system forces you to pretend it is - because you can't book an appointment in the next few days. You say you can predict demand. I think this is really interesting, Can you predict it by type and frequency? Or just volume?ReplyDelete
We can predict numbers on given days of the week now and staff accordingly. Epidemics become easier to spot. Have 2 years' data now which helps.ReplyDelete

Researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control said Tuesday that vaccination coverage levels in U.S. adults were "unacceptably low," and that public health workers need to do more to make sure adults got immunizations to protect them from diseases including whooping cough, shingles and pneumonia.
The team, writing in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, updated statistics on vaccine coverage for those diseases as well as cervical cancer, hepatitis A and B and other preventable illnesses.
There were "modest gains" in coverage for the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) and HPV (human papilloma virus) vaccines, said CDC researcher and study co-author Dr. Carolyn Bridges during a phone call with reporters. Nearly 13% of people 19 to 64 years old reported receiving a Tdap vaccine in 2011, which was an increase of almost four percentage points from the previous year, she said; the number of adults living with an infant under a year old who received the vaccine was up around 11 points to 22%. Pertussis is particularly dangerous in infants.
Regarding HPV vaccination, adult women are advised to complete a series of three injections by age 26. Thirty percent of women ages 19 to 26 had received one or more doses of that vaccine in 2011, up from 21% in 2010. (In 2011, health officials added men up to the age of 21 to the list of people advised to get the vaccine, but the effects of that change aren't available in the current data, which was collected in the 2011 National Health Interview Survey.)

The race was really hard and really fun. Jessie and I had a great pack to ski with. Kristin, being the strongest on the climbs, would pull away from the group with me a bit off her heels, and Jessie was really good on the downhills so would pull us back in again. It was a really fun game of cat and mouse and we went fast from the start, which made it exciting and also helped us catch so many people. Big thanks to Kristin for doing such incredible work out there and a shoutout to Sara Lindborg for winning the day and certainly having what I would guess is her best skate race of her career. Really strong skiing by her.
Noah Hoffman
I am very excited with how my race went today. I started hard. The course is essentially a 16k gradual uphill, 16k gradual down then a 3k loop in the stadium. I knew from my experience racing this course last year that I needed to be with a group going down the pass. The draft effect becomes so great that you can't ski as fast alone as you can with a group. So, I put in a big effort near the top of the climb to reach a big group. The group was also moving well, and we caught another pack ahead of us. Making contact with the original group before the top was key to my success today.
Jessie Diggins
I was excited for the 15k skate because I really like the course here, and I love pursuit starts where I get to chase people down. I started in the same second as two other girls, with Liz two seconds behind me. I couldn't keep up on the climbs, but on the second half of the course and especially the gradual downhill I would catch up. Kristin Stormer Steira (of Norway), Liz and I all took turns pulling. I would lead the flats and downhills, doing the work where my strengths were on the course to help pull the group along, and then I'd try my best to stay in contact on the climbs. This was for sure the most fun I've had racing so far this year, working with the other girls to have a great race. I was also so thrilled with my skis. My Salomons were running so fast, thanks to such hard work from our wax crew!
Matt Witcomb
Starting only two seconds apart, Jessie and Liz had a chance to work together to employ each other's strengths. Today, Liz was a little stronger on the long gradual climbing and Jessie a little stronger on the flats. They predicted this would be the case and were ready to execute their plan. I was happy to see them engage in tactics the way they did. The energy was quite strong for both Jessie and Liz, which is a lot to ask for with only two stages left to race.
Noah picked up where Jessie and Liz left off, not to mention where he left off in the Kuusamo mini tour. We've always known Noah can chase people down that are ahead of him, but his speed has often suffered in the final 1-2 kilometers of racing. In kuusamo and again today he caught the pack and finished high within it. His ability to ski efficiently with the group has improved dramatically.
We are really proud of our athletes today, but again the service team produced some very fast skis. It takes a team effort and we were rewarded for it.

GDT – Oilers YS vs. Flames YS – oilers.nhl.com @ 8:30 PM MST
Tonight is the third and final game of the tourney… the Battle of Alberta style. This game will again be shown on the Oilers website. There will be no Ryan Nugent-Hopkins tonight. Also absent, at least as starters, are Olivier Roy and Tyler Bunz. Adam Brown gets the start. Never heard of the guy, to be honest… but best get is he is here on a try out, as Hockeydb shows him as undrafted.
The Oilers rookies have been as promised so far, putting in two impressive outings with a 7-1 win over the Canucks Young Stars and a 2-0 shutout win over the Jets Young Stars. Tyler Bunz was the story in the Jets game, for sure… will be interesting to see how Brown follows up THAT performance.
Lines.. thanks to Dawgtoy for them: Continue reading 'GDT – Oilers YS vs. Flames YS – oilers.nhl.com @ 8:30 PM MST'»

City of Lincoln
Mayor's Office
2009 Media Releases
Special Olympics 2010 USA National Games also priority
Mayor Chris Beutler today said infrastructure funding will again be the City's top priority in the 2009 State legislative session that begins tomorrow. Lincoln Senator Amanda McGill will again introduce the Urban Growth bill, an infrastructure funding tool that would allow a city to create one or more urban growth districts near the edge of the community.
"Our Urban Growth bill is a tool that requires no new State dollars," Beutler said. "As I told the Urban Affairs Committee last year, it is a local solution that will help us help ourselves in closing the funding gap."
The bill would allow the estimated sales tax revenues generated within the urban growth district or districts to be pledged for debt service on an "urban growth bond." The proceeds of the bond would used to fund a broad range of infrastructure needs, including roads. The bonds would be backed by the City's general taxing authority.
The Mayor said McGill did a great job last session of moving the bill through the Urban Affairs Committee without a negative vote and securing a Speaker Priority designation for it. "This session, our goal is to take that final step and enact this important bill into law," Beutler said.
The annual Community Consensus Meeting sponsored by the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce helped shape the City's legislative priorities for 2009. Beutler said that during the meeting, funding for the Special Olympics USA National Games, which Lincoln will host in July 2010, emerged as another major priority for the City.
"The event offers us an unprecedented opportunity to showcase our community on a national stage," the Mayor said. "With that, however, also comes the responsibility to provide these remarkable athletes and their families the experience they deserve, and that will take a significant fund-raising effort. We are seeking dollars for the Games from the federal government, which has historically supported similar events. Our Lincoln delegation will now be working to secure dollars at the State level – dollars that will be recouped in large part by the sales tax revenues this event will bring to our State."
Beutler thanked those who have joined the Founders Club by making $25,000 contributions to the Games. He also thanked Lincoln Senators Tony Fulton and Danielle Nantkes for their work on the issue through their membership on the Legislature's Appropriations Committee.
Beutler said the City also supports the efforts of Lincoln Senator Bill Avery on a bill to implement Amendment 1 passed by voters in May 2008. The Constitutional Amendment allows entities like Lincoln's Community Health Endowment to diversify its investments to include stocks. But the amendment was not "self-executing," and passage of the bill is needed before the Endowment can take actions.
"Since its creation in 1998, the Endowment has funded about $11 million in health-related initiatives across the City," Beutler said. "By diversifying its investments, the Endowment believes that it will be able to significantly increase its average annual returns, resulting in more non-tax dollars available for community grants."
Also on the legislative priority list are a bill that would allow cities to use cameras to enforce traffic laws and a bill that would allow cities the size of Lincoln to create a separate transit authority. The authority would have the ability to raise revenues and determine routes.
The Mayor said the City also will monitor several other issues closely:

DECLARE i INTEGER; BEGIN EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ('BEGIN :i := i_dont_exist; END;') USING OUT i; EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN DBMS_OUTPUT. put_line ( '*****error found in ' || REGEXP_SUBSTR (SQLERRM, 'line [0-9]*')); DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line ('HERE COMES THE ERROR MESSAGE'); DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (SQLERRM); END;What do you think? Is this a good alternative to DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE?
18 June 2010
Use REGEXP_SUBSTR to get line number on which error was raised?(408)
In the 17 June 2010 quiz, we asked: "What information about a PL/SQL exception can be obtained inside an exception section of a PL/SQL block by calling a built-in or packaged function provided by Oracle?" One of the choices was "The line number on which the exception was raised". This choice was correct, because you can get this information with a call to DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE. One of our players, however, offered the following as an alternative: Hi, you'll most probably regard option 1 of today's quiz "the line number on which the exception was raised" as wrong [no, we didn't!]. What I thought when clicking this option as "correct", is described by following example:

Hi Steven,ReplyDelete
I feel, DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_ERROR_BACKTRACE is more reliable in tacing the EXACT line number
where error has occured.
In the above example, the REGEXP_SUBSTR displays "error found in line 1",
where as the actual error is at line number four.Since identifier I_DONT_EXIST is not declared.
If we use the following in the EXCEPTION section,the exact line number can be get.
The bottom line is that the REGEXP_SUBSTR technique will ONLY work with dynamically-executed statements, so it is not a general solution.ReplyDelete

The government has said the Budget for 2014-15 has brought about clarity in tax policies and it will walk the difficult path to bring growth impulses back into the economy amidst fiscal constraints.
In his maiden Budget presented in Parliament on July 10, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has tried to provide relief to the middle class by increasing tax exemption limit by Rs 50,000 to Rs 2.50 lakh. It also hiked deduction limit for investments in financial instruments under 80C by Rs 50,000 to Rs 1.50 lakh.
FULL COVERAGE:Union Budget
"Both on direct and indirect tax side, the main focus of the government was to revive growth, to revive manufacturing sector, to take steps that will result in creation of jobs, go in for tax rationalisation, reduce tax litigations and ambiguity in policies," Revenue Secretary Shaktikanta Das said.
At the post-Budget interaction on Saturday with industry chamber Ficci, Das said the Budget has sought to bring in greater clarity in taxation policy.
BUDGET SPEECH:Full text | Video
The Budget contains several proposals to boost the manufacturing sector apart from assurance that government will not "ordinarily" bring about any change retrospectively which creates a fresh "liability" or tax demand.
Finance Secretary Arvind Mayaram, who along with other secretaries of the Finance Ministry was interacting with industry leaders, said government was open to discussing ideas with them and addressing their concerns.
"My own perspective is that this is a growth oriented Budget. It will bring the growth impulses back into the economy... We will have to move a very difficult path ahead, but there is a determination that the government would walk that path," Mayaram said.
INDIA INC ON BUDGET:Mixed sentiments
India's economic growth slumped to sub 5 per cent in the past two fiscals leading slowdown in revenue generation and high fiscal deficit.
The government has pledged to bring the fiscal deficit down to 4.1 per cent of GDP in the current fiscal from 4.5 per cent in the last year.

Author Notes:
Quite simply, this is the dish my children request most frequently.
This chili was based originally on a recipe from a Sunset Magazine Vegetarian Cookbook for Layered Chili. At the time, 3 cans of prepared beans were adequate for my small family. Later on, I encountered Deborah Madison's version for Black Bean chili, which called for toasting spices and whole dried peppers and grinding them to lift the flavor. Being rather lazy, I simplified those instructions quite a bit, simply adding my blend of spices to the sizzling mix of onions and garlic already in the pan. As my family grew, I added more cans of beans to the preparation, till the cost in terms of cash outlay and the effort of opening 8 or 9 cans in the rush to get dinner on before the school bus arrived (as I said, I'm lazy) outweighed the flavor benefit. So I experimented with the more lazy, leisurely approach of soaking and cooking a mix of dried beans--big pillowy kidneys, black turtle, small Adukis, pictorial Anasazis and pintos. It is I suppose more effort, but can be done in stages. I don't bother soaking overnight, a few hours will do. Don't skip the yummy garnishes. They freshen up the flavor of this rich stew. Serve with: rice; guacamole; yogurt; sliced scallions; shredded cheddar; lime wedges; salsa; shredded lettuce.
Quite simply, this is the dish my children request most frequently.
Food52 Review: WHO: Creamtea is a longtime Food52er who loves the movie Babette's Feast. She lives in New York.
WHAT: A deep, complex chili that's wonderfully hands-off.
HOW: Cook your beans (whichever you've got!). Sauté your onion and garlic, add your beans, tomatoes, orange, and spices, and simmer for around a half hour.
WHY WE LOVE IT: We love how creamtea's recipe calls for whatever beans you have around; it makes it easy to throw together whenever the mood strikes. The orange provides that hit of acid that chili needs, and the combination of herbs and spices gives it a complex smokiness. Plus, it's vegetarian (and, depending on your garnish, vegan)! —The Editors
Serves: 6 to 8
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 2 hrs 45 min
For the beans
cups assorted dried beans, such as Anasazi, pinto, black, adzuki, pink and red, sorted and rinsed well, soaked in ample salted water for 3 or 4 hours or overnight
small whole onion
fresh bay leaves, twisted along their spines to crack them slightly
For the chili
large (or 3 small) Spanish onion, chopped
tablespoons olive oil
cloves garlic, minced
tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground chili, or to taste
teaspoon chipotle chili powder, or to taste
teaspoon ground cumin
teaspoon cumin seeds, lightly toasted and then pounded in a mortar and pestle
tablespoon dried oregano
large can fire-roasted tomatoes. (I use Muir Glen). Otherwise, you could use whole, diced, or petite-diced, according to your preference
naval orange, skin and pith removed, coarsely chopped
teaspoon salt or to taste
Rice as an accompaniment (see my brown-rice pilaf within my recipe for Sephardic Megedarra -- if you start it at the same time you saute the aromatics here, it will be done just about when the chili is done)
Guacamole (see my recipe for Plain and Simple Guacamole and maybe increase by 1 avocado + extra lime juice and garlic)
Plain or goat's milk yogurt
Sliced scallions or minced white onions
Shredded cheddar
Fresh mild goat cheese, crumbled
Lemon or lime wedges
Refrigerated-type salsa (or homemade: chopped tomatoes, fresh jalapeno, seeded & minced, diced onion, minced garlic and a squeeze of lime)
Chopped fresh tomatoes (optional)
Shredded iceberg lettuce (optional)
For the beans
- Drain beans of their soaking liquid and place in a large kettle with whole onion, and bay leaf. Fill pot with fresh filtered water to more than cover the beans—1 to 2 inches above the surface of the beans should do. Season cooking water with salt—enough that you can taste it. Bring the water gently to the boil, stirring occasionally. When water boils, turn heat to medium low and simmer beans until tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Older beans will take longer. You will probably have to top off the beans with more water as they cook. You can remove a few beans from the pot and cut through the center with a sharp knife to test for doneness.
For the chili
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, sauté onions until slightly softened; make an opening in the sautéing onions and add a little more oil and the minced garlic, allowing it to sizzle a bit before stirring into the onions. Sauté mixture until onions are translucent. Quickly add the spices and herbs and stir once or twice into the onion mix to bring out the fragrance then remove from heat before they scorch. Add to the pot of beans along with the canned tomatoes (squeeze over the pot to break them up before adding if they are whole), and orange pieces. Simmer mixture for 1/2 hour or so until flavors blend. Taste for salt and seasoning and adjust. May be made a day ahead for best flavor.
- Serve over rice with choice of garnishes: guacamole, yogurt, scallions, minced onions, shredded cheddar or creamy goat cheese, lemon or lime wedges, chopped tomatoes and lettuce.

Girls night for Stella
Stella McCartney presented a new collection in New York last night and a few high profile members of her posse were there to support including, always, Kate Hudson, Naomi Watts, and of course my Gwyneth who has so far spent most of the year in America, staying in New York after completing Love Don't Let Me Down in Nashville and before and after promotion for Iron Man 2.
My G is diplomatically moving between circles. She's been tight with Kate for years, but she's also tight with Cameron Diaz. And Cammie D has been spending a lot of time in NYC too. For Alex Rodriguez. G and Cammie have been hooking up for quiet private dinners on the regular... and why? Because, face it, my girl is popular. And she's a girl's girl. And the sad secret I hate facing, that I've heard too many times before, that I do not want to believe, is that she's actually nice. Even to non-famous people. Blasphemy. F-ck it. Forget everything I just said. Erase it from your minds. Go read a GOOP and hate her privileged ass all over again.
G looks like a teenager when she goes with little makeup.

It can be tough being a zombie in a living person's world. No one shares your taste in cuisine and no one wants your slightly rotted heart. Whatever is a lonely zombie boy to do?
These watercolor illustrations by Scott Campbell are from Kelly DiPucchio's book Zombie in Love, about an undead fellow named Mortimer who just can't get a date, that is, until he meets the girl of his dirt-nap dreams. Campbell's drawings are always just perfectly off-kilter, and they're a perfect match for this offbeat romance. I'd recommend checking out the book to

Dell embraces high-cost model with Alienware buy
Opens AMD shop
In a bid to color up a dull computer line, Dell has agreed to purchase flashy PC maker Alienware.
With the buy, Dell gains a maker of high-performance systems aimed at gamers and other demanding customers. The often pricey Alienware boxes stand out for their colorful designs and high-end components. Dell officials earlier this month had downplayed rumors of an Alienware buy.
The deal also opens Dell up to AMD processors, although indirectly. Dell plans to let Alienware operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary with its own marketing, sales and support staff. The Alienware brand will continue under this arrangement.
"Alienware's products are an excellent complement to Dell's own line of high-performance computers designed for gaming, enthusiast and media content customers," said Dell founder Michael Dell. "In addition to offering high-quality, high-performance products, Alienware has tremendous brand appeal with consumers and creative business professionals."
This purchase is a rarity for Dell, which loathes acquisitions.
Dell, however, has seen desktop profits stall in recent months, as it gets harder and harder to make money off the kit. Alienware opens up a way to make money off gamers and other horsepower hungry types that are willing to pay more for the latest and greatest gear.
In addition, the Alienware line will add some style to Dell's uninspired designs.
Dell did not disclose financial terms around the deal, which should close in the next two months.
One can't help but wonder if Dell is getting a bit desperate to reach its goal of becoming an $80bn company. This deal breaks the no acquisition and AMD barriers in a major way. The low-cost Dell religion seems to be giving way to market realities. ®

Many of us have found articles, research papers, blogs, links, quotes ... lot's of good stuff. And a lot of it could be interesting to others - or not. .... Whatever!
Anyway, this is a first attempt to compile a list of links according to kind. There will be no attempt to make judgements about relative merits of the material. If you like it, fine. If you don't, fine. If you can use it, fine, if not, also fine.
At first I'd thought about starting a repository of files, films etc. Of course, that could lead to legal problems of certain people not wanting their material made public. On the other hand, if it's already out there, I'm not violating any copyright laws by simply linking to an existing copy on another web site. And that means - if you don't want your material made public, don't pound on me, go where the file is and talk to them.
One more thing (no, I'm not Steve Jobs). If you have any material you'd like to have linked to from here, let me know and if it's appropriate (IOW NOT personally abusive, is NOT advertising your services, is relevant to positive dog training and yours to link to) it'll be added.
This site is kinda cool - it's got articles, research papers, videos, links, blogs, etc. all related to positive reinforcement training.

Google Inc. is free to extend its dominance of the $50 billion Internet-search market after U.S. regulators ended an investigation into whether the company unfairly disadvantaged competing websites by favoring its own services in search results.
The Federal Trade Commission, after a 20-month antitrust probe, concluded Google was motivated more by wanting to improve its search results and the user's experience than by a desire to stifle competition, said Chairman Jon Leibowitz, who drew a distinction between dominating a market and doing so unfairly.
The FTC's decision clears the way for Google to continue adding features that have helped it beat back Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo! Inc. to become the world's top search provider and most valuable Internet company.
"Nothing in the decision is a serious blow to any of Google's ambitions," Whit Andrews, an analyst for technology research firm Gartner Inc., said in an interview. The FTC didn't get into the question of "where the boundaries are going to get drawn" in the search business, he said.
Google, which makes money by selling advertising next to search results, should grab 76 percent of the U.S. search market this year, up from 75 percent last year. Microsoft should get 9 percent while Yahoo may land 6 percent, according to EMarketer Inc.
The global Internet search market is expected to grow to more than $50 billion this year, up 15 percent from the year-ago period, ZenithOptimedia, an advertising research unit of Paris based Publicis Groupe SA, said in a report last year.
Manipulating Searches
The FTC investigation looked into allegations that Google manipulated its search algorithms to promote its own products and services, harming competitors and consumers. While some evidence suggested Google was trying to eliminate competition, its "primary reason" for changing the look and feel of search results was to improve user experience, Leibowitz said at a news conference in Washington yesterday.
The agency's decision to close its probe without enforcement action is a blow to competitors including Microsoft, Yelp Inc., and Expedia Inc.. An alliance of e-commerce and Web- search companies pressed the agency to bring an antitrust lawsuit.
