Double Haploids are plants that have two copies of each chromosome, (2n), like diploids. However, they differ from diploids in that they were created from a single grain of pollen, an ovum, or indeterminate gametes that were cultured, their chromosomes doubled through chemical means, and the cultured tissue grown into a plant. The haploid genome of the gametes, when doubled, produced a plant with a complete genome, with two identical copies of every gene. Thus, Double Haploids are Homozygous at every locus, and can have highly variable phenotypes. Double Haploids have been made for many plants to assist in breeding experiments.

Relief To Find a Caring Vet Clinic
-Flor from Lake Jackson, TX
Pet Name: Dozer and Squig
I am so thankful to have found a vet that I can trust and rely on!!! I know that my vet cares just by the way they handle my babies and by how they take the time to explain anything and answer all of my questions! The staff is really nice and my two "kids" love going! Overall every time we all go it's a GRRRRREAT EXPERIENCE!!!
Thank You
-Maria and Raymond Soliz from Pearland, TX
Pet Name: Wendell Cougar Jaz
We just wanted to give a big ole THANK YOU! to all the wonderful staff at VCALJAH. It has been a good 10+ years of great service to our two kids Cougar and Wendell. Fixing to add our third one Jaz. It is very worth the drive from Pearland to take them down to LJ for their checkups. Thanks and see you all soon!
The Soliz Family
wonderful service
-Pat Howe from Angleton, TX
Pet Name: Lucy and Playto
We have used all 3 vets at one time or another. Our children (cats) have always been treated well and quickly. The staff is so caring and helpful. We had to put down our old cat, and they sat me down and just held my hand until I was able to drive, they even offered to call someone to come get me. We have boarded our babies and for 8 days, and never worried about how they were. And if your baby has an appointment you will find its name on the board of welcome when you come in the front door. This is a great vet service.
Amazing Service
-Vicky and Elisa from Lake Jackson, TX
My mother and I took our dog (10 years old) for a visit one day. Not a week later, our dog had an accident and was near death. Dr. Holcom Kyle was sooo helpful. She treated our dog like it was her own and helped her recover. Now, she is a healthy and happy dog again. We honestly think that if it wasn't for Dr. Kyle, our dog would have died. We will always be thankful for helping our dog and for the great service we always received. The front desk staff is soo nice too!
Kitty Troubles
-Megan and Cindy from Lake Jackson, TX
Pet Name: Daisy and Sonny
About two months ago, our kitten, Daisy, fell off a futon and broke her hip. We called and explained what had happened and they rush us in with no wait and did an x-ray right away. Dr. Haydel was extremely helpful and supportive during this traumatic experience and after the x-ray, he reassured us that he felt that it would be an easy recovery, but if we ever thought she was getting worse or just had questions to come back. Then, a month after that our other kitten, Sonny, tried to jump up on some TV tables and they fell over on him and broke his arm. Again, we called and the staff told us to come in right away. After x-rays were taken Dr. Kyle explained the injuries that he had and our options as to what could be done to help him recover as quickly as possible. Now, after a few soft casts and resting time, both kittens are growing and healthy. Thank you Dr. Haydel, Dr. Kyle, & staff for everything you have done for our animals! <3

Logan Regional Hospital Cancer Center participates in select cancer clinical trials. Clinical trials are vital in discovering new treatment options and making technological advancements. To be considered for participation in clinical trials, patients have usually exhausted other treatment options, have a specific type of cancer, or have a rare type of cancer.
When considering clinical trial participation keep these things in mind:
Depending on the clinical trial phase, you may be one of the first to receive a specific treatment. Many cancer patients have experienced great success from being among the first to receive a new treatment.
After you are chosen to participate in a clinical trial, you may be selected to be a part of the control group and receive a placebo. Being part of the control group varies in terms of treatments received. You may continue to receive the same treatment you were having before joining the clinical trial, or you may not receive any treatment at all. When assessing the risks and benefits of being part of a clinical trial, it is also important to find out what treatment the control group receives.
If you would like to be considered for participation in a clinical trial, talk with your doctor or visit the National Cancer Institute to find a trial.
For more information about the clinical trials offered at Logan Regional Hospital, call the Cancer Center at (435) 716-6400.

Advice & Support
Although speech and language continue
to develop through adolescence, children usually reach major milestones in
predictable stages by 6 years of age. The exact pace at which speech and
language develop varies among children, especially the age at which they begin
to talk.
Communication skills are often categorized as receptive
language and expressive language. Receptive language is the understanding of
words and sounds. Expressive language is the use of speech (sounds and words)
and gestures to communicate meaning.
Details of the developmental
milestones can be evaluated according to age.

A leader in fast-casual dining for almost 45 years, Colombia-based Kokoriko adheres to its traditional, high-quality flavors and secret family recipes. Known for its all-time favorite rotisserie chicken, the company currently has 110 locations throughout Colombia. Kokoriko is the largest rotisserie chicken chain and, according to recent studies, the one with the mayor brand recognition and preference by consumers.
The company's conviction has always been to give people a reason to unite around a dining table.
With the new Kokorikos's vision to create a chef-driven, modern interpretation of Kokoriko (a generic term for rotisserie chicken in Colombia) it keeps true to the essence of what makes Colombian diners have such an emotional bond to this chain of restaurants. For Kokoriko Natural Rotisserie, Kokoriko has taken its traditional recipes, including the original secret chicken marinade, and infused them with the vibrant flavors of Latin America
Slow-cooked to perfection on an open rotisserie, Kokoriko Natural Rotisserie's free-range, all-natural chicken it's being marinated for at least 48 hours in both the original and chef's signature marinade – a blend of Kokoriko's secret marinade, mixed with the new blend of achiote and seasonings from country's like Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru.
Kokoriko Natural Rotisserie's menu – with an average check of $20 per person – will feature a selection of chicken specialties and Latin American comfort foods and signature dishes, including a juicy, grilled half boneless chicken "churrasco," and the popular Venezuelan dish, corn cachapas pancakes – available plain or with a cheese and tomato jam filling.
A Colombian-style creamy potato and chicken soup, ajiaco, will be made with capers, corn and avocado, while sides will include yucca fries with citrus mojo, crushed baby potato with truffle chimichurri, creamy aji amarillo cole slaw, and Latin-style corn on the cob with creamy chipotle sauce and queso fresco
For their flagship 3,000 square foot Miami location, Kokoriko Natural Rotisserie's selected a place housed on the street level of the Axis building- South Tower in Brickell. The restaurant accommodates 78 guests in the dining room and 76 in the patio area friendly for pets and available smoking section.
To ensure that Kokoriko Natural Rotisserie Kokoriko Natural Rotisserie's's interior design is consistent with the brand's style, a focal-point of the dining room is the open-kitchen with a rotisserie oven. Here, designers have incorporated recycled materials and the craftsmanship of local artisans, such as walls covered in reclaimed wood from barns and brick, reminiscent of Colombia's countryside.

Check out the latest internship postings from S'well.
I drink a lot of water. Even the best restaurant servers struggle to keep my glass filled. But if I don't have water in front of me, I don't drink it. In college I would refill Smartwater bottles with tap water and take them to class (that's the real smart water), but at some point the good habit ended and I've reverted back to drinking very little water on some days and gallons on other days. Maybe a good bottle would get me back on track. That's exactly what S'well offers. They're a New York, NY based company that sells bottles "crafted composed of non-leaching and non-toxic 18/8 stainless steel, that keeps your drinks cold for 24 hours and hot for 12."
All's S'well That Ends Well
While a good water bottle is always better than a bad water bottle, you're really going to have to offer something special to charge between $25 and $45 like S'well does. S'well stands out from its competition by offering bottles that are durably constructed, well insulated (so you can carry any kind of hot or cold beverage), and made with eco-friendly materials. More importantly, the bottles look really cool. If that's enough, S'well also donates a significant portion of their sales (as high as 10% on some product lines) to non-profits. S'well doesn't have its own Careers page, but right now they're looking for a Paid Sales Intern.

In a statement issued yesterday, GM said that of the stockholders
who participated, about 94 per cent of the holders of GM common
shares and Hughes shares voted in favor of the proposals. The move
clears the way for News Corp.'s $ 4 billion takeover that will give
it control of DirecTV.
DirecTV, meanwhile, has said it will eventually add local TV packages
for its customers in 41 US markets scheduled to begin receiving
local channels next year. The rollout of local channels in these
markets is dependent on the successful launch of the DirecTV 7S
satellite, which is expected in mid-to-late first quarter 2004.
DirecTV now offers local channels in 64 markets. The company said
its goal is to deliver local channels to 105 markets - representing
about 85 per cent of US TV households.

Two weeks ago Activision disbanded its Guitar Hero business and said it would cease to release new songs for both DJ Hero and Guitar Hero after February. Now, the publisher has pulled a 180, saying both games will score additional downloadable content.
According to the official Twitter feeds of Guitar Hero and DJ Hero, both games will enjoy at least one more track pack thanks to fans' "continued support" for both brands. The Twitter streams did not state which songs will be available in the upcoming packs or affix a release date to them.

Few cars in modern automotive history are as much of a total package as the modern GTO. With an incredibly stiff chassis, great handling characteristics, and seamless LS power, it is a true match made in GM heaven. Getting behind the wheel only proves this point further, as the GTO is always in full control, no matter how hard that go-pedal is stomped. The GTO can easily handle 500- or even 600-horsepower or more and still be as controlled and easy to drive as it was when it was bone stock.
So, wanting to test the limits for ourselves, we set out on a horsepower pursuit to eternal dragstrip happiness by adding more power to Head Poncho, our resident 2005 GTO. While there were many ways to go about it, we decided to keep things simple-almost scientifically simple-so we left the car naturally aspirated to avoid any more weight gain to our already heavyweight hitter. Going the all-motor route would also reduce the amount of down time required as we wouldn't have to spend days tuning it if it had a forced-induction setup. So, the hunt was on for a free-breathing top half to complement our 6-liter pony eater.
Heading Out
With our goals laid out, we looked for a top half that would offer the perfect balance between power, reliability, torque and oh yea, power. (You can see our priorities, can't you?) To get these results, the centerpiece to our horsepower recipe was going to rely heavily on our cylinder head choice so we didn't bother playing any games and went straight to the awesome TFS GenX pieces. These heads have 13.5-degree valve angles and come fully assembled with 7-degree titanium retainers for immediate installation and no hassles (however, they are also available bare should you want to use your own valvetrain.)
Currently, TFS offers three versions of its fully assembled, CNC-ported GenX aluminum cylinder head, with each easily identified by their intake runner volume. The 215cc, 225cc, and 235cc versions denote their ideal applications as each one of these has a correlating valve size to match a particular engine's breathing needs. For instance, its 215cc units are ideal for the 5.7-liter LS1 as the 2.040/1.575 valves clear the smaller bores perfectly. With our LS2's larger 4.0-inch bore we were able to take advantage of TFS' larger 225cc castings with their upsized 2.055/1.575 valves. The even-larger 235cc versions are best suited for stroked or force-fed applications, which we rightfully admitted to ourselves as being a bit more than we really needed. So, with the 225cc units added to our shopping cart (PN TFS-3060T001-C02, $2,395) we then grabbed a pair of new GM head gaskets and ARP head bolts (PN 134-3610, $113). With our head selection finished, it was time to move ahead with our camshaft choice.
For our moderately aggressive 225cc heads, we went with TFS' Track Max camshaft (PN 306-02003, $339). It checks in at a healthy 228 degrees of duration at .050 lift on the intake and 230 degrees on the exhaust. Lift is pretty stout at .585 on both sides and keeps the valvesprings happy by staying below their .600-lift limit. In addition, the cam is designed to provide maximum power and torque without any valve-to-piston interference, especially at the upper reaches of the tachometer. With our head and cam package selected, it was time to move ahead to the supporting valvetrain components and an intake manifold upgrade.

A Castaic resident called the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station after witnessing two people enter a neighbor's home and walk out with the television around 1:30 p.m., said Lt. Rob Hahnlein.
"Two people went into the neighbor's house and he knew that they were not home," Hahnlein said. "As he walked over there to confront them, they were carrying a TV. They set the TV down and scrambled to a white vehicle."
Related Santa Clarita Sheriff's Deputies Investigate Several Burglar Reports
A unit on patrol at Parker Road and Tobiah Place pulled over the vehicle on a traffic violation shortly after the incident.
"As the call came out, they realized they had the car used in the burglary," Hahnlein said.
The driver, who was the only person in the car at the time, was arrested while the other two suspects remained outstanding.
Shortly after the first arrest, the other two suspects were found and arrested by Sheriff's Station deputies.

Two bike riders injured in weekend crash
Posted: Monday, April 29, 2013 1:20 pm |
Updated: 10:47 am, Wed May 1, 2013.
By Mark Noack
Two cyclists were flown by helicopter to a hospital on Sunday evening after suffering injuries in a head-on vehicle crash on Tunitas Creek Road.
The cyclists, both men in their late 30s from Santa Cruz County, suffered trauma and major injuries in the crash, according to emergency officials.
The accident was first reported just after 7 p.m. on Sunday. The two bike riders were traveling west on Tunitas Creek Road, about two miles from Highway 1. They were both hit by a vehicle traveling eastbound after it came around a sharp bend. CHP officials identified the driver of the car as a Moss Beach woman in her 20s.
The incident was originally treated as a hit-and-run crash, because the first responders noticed that the driver had left the scene. It was later learned that the woman drove away in order to call for help.
"She came right back," said CHP spokesman Arturo Montiel. "At this point it's not being investigated as a hit and run, but rather as a regular collision."
The bike riders were both conscious when first responders arrived. One cyclist suffered head trauma and facial lacerations while the other had a bone fracture in his hip, according to CHP officials. None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening, Montiel said. Emergency officials landed a LifeFlight helicopter in a livestock pasture about four miles from the accident scene to deliver the injured to Stanford Medical Center.
CHP officers are investigating the accident to determine who was at fault.
Let me get this straight: someone going eastbound hits a pair of cyclists going westbound and they have to figure out who's at fault?!
I'm a cyclist that rides motos, not a moto rider that rides bicycles.

Date of Defense 2011-06-21 Page Count 125 Keyword entrepreneurship self employment the"recession-push" hypothesis transition matrix workstatus Abstract The purpose of this study is to explore what is the factor of who transform their work status and to test the "recession-push" hypothesis. Use the Manpower Tracker survey data from 1999 to 2009, and then merge every two years have the same sample be a short-term mixed panal data. In this study, we built a number of probit models, and used the Maximum likelihood method to solve the endogenous problem of the "decision of one be a privately employed" when we estimated the probability of the private employed sector transit into self-employed sector.
From the transition matrix, we found that some self-employments have the target to be the business owners, and business owners suppose the self-employed sector be their failure shelter. In addition, the study also found that more male than female have an incentive to turn to the business owner sector or self-employed sector, while women prefer the private employed.
Based on the empirical results, we proved the "recession - pushing" hypothesis during the study period. The result means the excess of private employees will be pushed to self-employed sector in the recession period. In addition, we estimated the prosperity index whether have lag effect, and then found unwell self-employments will be unemployed after two years in the recession period. On the other hand, we found that business owners who transit from private employed sector have the wage premium effect.

What does the MEA do for me?
Everyone thinks of the "union" as your particular "local" but that is only the closest layer and the one that is in direct contact with the members and the district. However, the local is backed by the MEA.
The MEA is fully supported by our $640 union dues. Those funds allow the MEA to operate in the legislative arena, pay for legal representation for members, pay for Uniserv directors, and pay for travel expenses for members, etc. Perhaps one of the most crucial tasks is the one undertaken by the MEA executive board members: inform, lobby, and educate state and national legislators. As far as the leadership of the MEA, these are individuals that you would want to represent you: they are dedicated, models of integrity and care about the current plight educators are experiencing in Michigan. I had the opportunity recently to sit with them at a dinner and let me tell you, there are no "fat cat" union bosses here. These are people that are prepared, articulate and know our craft and our issues.
Influence and leverage
You may think "A lot of good, the MEA has done for me" and that is a valid thought: with the losses in leverage and erosion of worker rights in education recently. However, the MEA is working to preserve what we have and, of course, augment that influence through political action.
If you look at the operating budget for the MEA, it may look like an impressive number but it dwarfs in comparison to the budgets (and profits) of just about any "small business" and not-so-small businesses (i.e. Pearson, any textbook company, etc.). You have heard the saying "money talks" and in this current political climate more than ever.
The greatest challenge that the MEA and all its members are facing is the current state mindset towards privatizing education and away from public education. The formula seems to be:
- Weaken the union (Right-to-work; Dues collection not allowed through employer, etc.)
- Underfund districts (See the Truth about Funding youtube- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwoxWlREvxo)
- Have an Emergency Manager take over
- Eliminate the staff
- Make a charter school district- Appoint a for-profit education provider and start teachers off in the low 30,000 (regardless of experience)
Such an event already occurred in Muskegon Heights, where Mosaica Education (125 million annual profit for the company that runs 90 school districts nation-wide) took public, state funds to run the district. Below are a couple of links if you wish to read the sad story in more detail. I have also attached a pdf of the Mosaica Education employee handbook- you will find it both amusing and terrifying.
The MEA is well cognizant of what the implication of this drive for privatization means for educators: lower wages, worse working condition and- more importantly- worse learning outcomes for students. How the struggle goes will depend on the strength of our members- the more of us that participate, the more power we will have. Additionally, in the political realm, two things are needed:
- More contributions to the MEA-PAC- we will never match the resources of the private sector but every dollar makes us stronger in the political arena
- Political support- you may be a democrat, republican, "Tea Party", Green party supporter but, right now, there are only two candidates that "speak our language" and understand the attack that public schools and public school teachers are under: Mark Schauer and his running mate Lisa Brown.
The bottom line is that we are the MEA. It is easy to question what the MEA does but each member must have a role also. If we don't stand together now, there may come a day where we have no rights and no union.

Hennepin Avenue bike lanes: unsafe?
One of Downtown's major bicycle arteries is a two-way bike lane in the middle of Downtown's Hennepin Avenue.
While the nine-block link is a straight shot through the theater and entertainment districts, the Hennepin route poses serious challenges for even the most astute biking commuters. For one, bicyclists are sandwiched between northbound cars and southbound buses and taxis -- a unique arrangement in the city.
Also, the bike lane ends abruptly and without warning at 11th Street (its southern boundary) and Washington Avenue (its northern boundary).

"It all started when a customer — on his way out of the drugstore where I was working — waved at all the other types of products we carried and suggested that I ought to start a specialized compounding pharmacy using my specific skills," recalled Mark Binkley, DPh.
The customer pointed out, "After all, only a trained pharmacist can do drug therapy. From a business standpoint, what you do is unique."
That was in 1982 … but the offhand comment started Binkley thinking about taking a different path. What he consequently developed was The Health & Wellness Compounding Pharmacy.
The original business was located next to the Donut Den in Green Hills. It was the first pharmacy in the city dedicated to compounding medications to fill physicians' orders for special medications for their patients.
The Pharmacy has since moved to the area around Baptist and Centennial Hospitals because Binkley wanted a more clinical setting … one near the offices of the medical practitioners the business serves … in order to grow the company from an apothecary-style practice to a service focused on finding solutions for individual healthcare problems.
In this "one size fits all" world (or as one optimistic manufacturer touted, "one size fits most"), the market appeal of the special and unique is growing, especially in the area of healthcare. While the concept might seem fairly new, it actually stems from ancient roots.
Chemists have always been familiar with various natural substances and the ways they could be used in medications, dyes, incense, perfumes, ceremonial compounds, preservatives and cosmetics. In the 19th century, perhaps because they were seeking gold … or maybe the mythical fountain of youth … drug compounders drove the Alchemy Movement, which eventually led to the creation of the modern pharmacy and the principles of pharmacy compounding.
Compounding combines an ageless art with the latest medical knowledge and state-of-the-art technology, allowing specially trained professionals to prepare customized medications to meet each patient's specific needs. Fundamental to the pharmacy profession, compounding became the standard means of providing prescription medications before drugs were produced in mass quantities by pharmaceutical manufacturers.
The demand for professional compounding has increased as healthcare professionals and patients have come to realize the limited number of strengths and dosage forms that are commercially available might not satisfy the needs of every patient. Recognizing some patients need a dosage outside the norm that is prepared "just for them," compounding pharmacies have the ability to customize medications to meet an individual's need.
Additionally, the medication could be prepared in forms that are not commercially available, such as transdermal gels, "chewies" or even lollipops. The prescriptions also could be prepared without troublesome ingredients such as dyes, sugar, lactose or alcohol, and various compatible medications could be combined into a single dosage form for easier administration and improved patient compliance. There are now more than 20 compounding pharmacies in the Nashville area.
Binkley, who grew up in Nashville and graduated from Hillsboro High School, received a degree in biology from David Lipscomb University. He then received his pharmacy degree from Samford University in 1976. Binkley was named 'Pharmacist of the Year' by the Professional Compounding Centers of America in 1989 and received the 'Innovative Practice Award' from the Tennessee Pharmacists Association in 1999.
He noted that, at the Health & Wellness Compounding Pharmacy, they could fill any prescription or special medication order or customize anything to fit the physician's orders. He said his pharmacy also fills a need for manufacturers and other industries that are required to have emergency prescriptions on hand for occurrences such as acid spills and other industrial emergencies.
"Ingenuity and experience are essential," Binkley said of the process of delivering the medication as it is needed.
Binkley noted that many specific medications are still controlled by patent laws. However, when the medicines are not available from the manufacturer … even if still under patent protection, the law allows compounding pharmacies to produce the medication on the doctor's order.
There are acute shortages of a number of medications that are still under patent protection, and compounding pharmacies have seen the demands grow to three times what they have had in the past. Compounding pharmacies have "had to get involved to actively meet the shortages." Binkley noted that the situation gets worse every week and it is not clear what is causing the dramatic spike in demand.
Binkley admits that many physicians do not perceive the need for what compounding pharmacies do. Physicians often are not aware of the options compounding offers and might not realize what the pharmacists are allowed to do and are capable of doing to meet the needs of patients. Binkley also consults with a number of patients who are referred to him by medical practitioners for evaluation, "usually 10-15 consults on a given week" he said.
"Talking with patients is the fun part of what I do. Usually the therapies are simple and just a matter of hormone balancing," Binkley said, suggesting that it is often a matter of "functional endocrinology."
He continued, "We start working because there is a problem, and we can suggest several options, design a personal program for the patient and write a prescription."
The Health and Wellness Clinic works very closely with Brooke Faught, RN, MSN, APN, at The Women's Institute for Sexual Health (WISH), a division of Urology Associates. WISH provides specialized care to women facing the unique challenges of sexual function. Binkley said that Faught trained in Philadelphia, where she worked closely with a compounding pharmacy so "she came looking for us when she was setting up the practice." He appreciates being able to be part of their work.
Binkley is always pleased when his team comes up with a unique solution for a patient. He said one of the "most rewarding" parts of his professional life is when he gets "thank-yous" from patients and physicians.

10 Options for Medical Coverage in Retirement
Copyright © 2014 AARP. All rights reserved.
Unless you'll receive retiree health benefits from an employer or union, you need to consider what medical coverage you can get if you retire before or after age 65.
Here are your options before age 65:
Spousal benefits: If your spouse is working and has employer health insurance, you may be able to transfer to his or her plan for your coverage. Your spouse should contact the benefits administrator and add you to his or her coverage no later than 30 days after your own insurance ends. (Otherwise, you'll have to wait until the employer's open enrollment period near the end of the year.)
Veterans' benefits: If you served in the armed forces, you may qualify for the health care program run by the Department of Veterans Affairs. This program doesn't cover dependents. For more information, go to the VA's health benefits website, or call the VA Health Benefits Service Center toll-free at 877-222-8387.
COBRA temporary insurance: If you receive health insurance from your current employer, you may qualify to have it extended after retirement. The COBRA law allows people who've left or lost a job to continue the same group insurance coverage for themselves and their families for up to 18 months by paying the full premiums. Go to the U.S. Department of Labor's website for more information.
Individual health insurance: You can purchase non-group insurance for yourself and any dependents. But your options change significantly from January 1, 2014, when the main provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) kick in.
Until December 31, 2013: Before this date, insurance companies can refuse to cover you or ask you to pay a higher premium if you have preexisting health conditions. However, if you've had group or COBRA insurance for at least 18 months (and with no break in coverage longer than 63 days), you may have the right to buy individual insurance that doesn't exclude or limit coverage for preexisting conditions. For general information about this program, available under a law called HIPAA, go to the U.S. Department of Labor's guidance for consumers. For specific details on your rights and to find companies that sell in insurance in your area, contact your state department of insurance; visit www.naic.org/state_web_map.htm for the phone number.
After January 1, 2014: Under the ACA, you can buy individual health coverage for yourself and any dependents — regardless of health or pre-existing medical conditions — through health insurance exchanges set up in each state. These exchanges are marketplaces where you can choose from a menu of health plans offering different benefits and costs. If your income is under a certain level, you qualify for government subsidies. Plan details are posted online from October 1, 2013; the first enrollment period is from October 1 to March 31, 2014. To see details of plans in your own state, go to www.healthcare.gov.
Medicaid: If your income is limited, you may qualify for medical assistance under the federal-state Medicaid program. (This program has a different name in some states, such as MediCal in California, MassHealth in Massachusetts, and TennCare in Tennessee.) To qualify, you must meet income and savings limits required by your state. For a quick way to see whether you're eligible for this and other government programs, go to www.benefitscheckup.org. For help in applying for Medicaid, contact a counselor at your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). To find the phone number of your SHIP, visit www.shiptalk.org or call 800-677-1116.
Here are your options at age 65 or older:
If you're a U.S. citizen or permanent legal resident (green card holder), you qualify for Medicare when you or your spouse has earned 40 work credits (usually after paying Medicare payroll taxes during about 10 years of work). For example, if you chalk up 28 credits by age 60, you can meet full Medicare eligibility by working three extra years and earning 12 more credits. However, you still can't receive Medicare benefits under age 65 (unless you qualify at a younger age through disability, as explained at www.aarp.org/health/medicare-insurance/info-06-2008/ask_ms__medicare_10.html).
If you don't have enough work credits at age 65, you can buy into Medicare by paying monthly premiums for Part A hospital insurance (which mainly covers hospital stays), as explained at www.aarp.org/health/medicare-insurance/info-04-2008/ask_ms__medicare_9.html. With fewer than 30 work credits, you pay the premium's full cost ($441 per month in 2013). With 30 to 39 credits, you pay a reduced amount ($243 per month in 2013).
You can buy Medicare Part B insurance (for doctors and outpatient services) regardless of whether you have sufficient work credits, even if you're not enrolled in Part A. For most people, the standard Part B premium in 2013 is $104.90 a month, and more if your income is over a certain level. Be aware that if you don't enroll in Part B at the right time, you risk being hit with late penalties even if you don't have enough work credits to qualify for premium-free Part A benefits. (For more information on this little-known rule, see www.aarp.org/health/medicare-insurance/info-04-2010/ms_medicare_can_you_be_penalized_for_not_enrolling.html.)
You can enroll in a Medicare Part D plan (prescription drug coverage), usually for an additional premium, if you have Part A, Part B, or both. (See AARP's consumer guide to Part D.)
You have a guaranteed right to purchase private Medigap supplementary insurance, for an additional premium, if you do so within six months of enrolling in Part B. Depending on the kind of policy, Medigap insurance pays some or most out-of-pocket expenses, such as deductibles and co-payments (but not premiums), in the traditional Medicare program. But be aware that you can't use Medigap insurance if you're enrolled in a private Medicare health plan (such as an HMO). Find more information at www.aarp.org/health/medicare-insurance/info-04-2009/ask_ms__medicare_q18.html.

Kampala — AT 88 years old, one would think Melchior Bakamuturaki would not consider investing in a forest that will mature when he is 100-if he makes it. But for this Bushenyi district Green, the passion for the environment is just beginning.
While many Ugandans shun tree business from which they believe they will never benefit in their lifetime, Bakamuturaki has planted six acres of trees and is looking for more land.
"I always had a liking for forests and now I have fulfilled my dream by planting a forest, which will mature in at least 20 years."
But there is an immediate gain from the investment. Bakamuturaki will make money from a new scheme in which farmers earn money from trees in a programme championed by a charity, the International Small Group and Tree-Planting.
"We have been working with farmers to plant trees that absorb carbondioxide emissions and reduce the risks of global warming," said Pauline Kalunda, the executive director.
"In return, the farmers earn money since their trees act as sinks for waste gases emitted by polluting industries," Kalunda says. The Bamuturaki initiative is good news as Uganda commemorates the World Environment Day today.
Trees absorb carbon-dioxide blamed for overheating the earth and causing global warming.
As such, factories in the developed countries responsible for the pollution, pay people like Bakamuturaki to plant trees.
Last year, Bakamuturaki earned sh100,000 from the international tree planting group. He hopes for bigger fruits in future.
"In future these trees will be wanted very much by people," Bamuturaki says.
Right now, however, the scarcity of land in Bushenyi worries him and he hopes the National Forestry Authority can bail him out.
In Uganda, over 200 small-scale farmers are working with Eco-Trust to plant trees. The number is likely to double following the success of the pilot project in Bushenyi.
"When the Eco-Trust team is satisfied, money is paid to the beneficiaries upfront. For instance, if the trees mature in 50 years, the money equivalent to the carbon-dioxide removed from the atmosphere in their lifespan is paid within 10 years," Kalunda said.
"We do this to help farmers since it is a capital-intensive venture and lack of funds a limiting factor."
To benefit from Eco-Trust support, however, farmers must also dedicate land for food production.
Dr. Aryamanya Mugisha, the head of the National Environment Management Authority, is concerned about the smaller amounts paid to Ugandan farmers compared to their counterparts in Europe ad Asia.
"This payment is supposed to be an incentive for farmers to plant trees, but it is low compared to other countries."
In Uganda, a tonne of carbon goes for $6 yet in Europe, it fetches $25.
"This should be revised because poor people in developing countries need this money so that tree- planting can out-compete crop-cultivation."
The World Bank coordinates the global trade in carbon emissions under the Kyoto Protocol, an inter-government agreement that aims to curb emissions.
This does not deal with small-scale farmers like those supported by Echo-Trust. As such, the destruction of the environment is likely to get worse.
For instance, in the last 100 years, Uganda's forests have faced severe pressures, mainly from farmers, as the population and the demand for charcoal grows. Studies indicate that the forest cover in Uganda has shrunk from 45% in 1890 to 20% today.
