Medicare Benefits
Medicare is divided into two types of coverage. Hospitalization insurance (Part A) pays hospital bills and certain skilled nursing facility expenses. Medical insurance (Part B) pays doctors' bills and certain other charges.
Medicare's health benefits include coverage for certain health care services and durable medical equipment. To have full Medicare coverage, Medicare beneficiaries must have both Part A (hospital insurance) and Part B (medical insurance).
Part A (Hospital Insurance Benefits)
Part A helps cover your inpatient care in hospitals, critical access hospitals, and skilled nursing facilities (not custodial or long-term care). It also helps cover hospice care and some home health care. You must meet certain conditions. Most people do not have to pay a monthly payment, called a premium, for Part A because they or a spouse paid Medicare taxes while they were working. You are eligible for premium-free Medicare Part A if:
- You are 65 or older. You are receiving or eligible for retirement benefits from Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board, or
- You are under 65. You have received Social Security disability benefits for 24 months, or
- You are under 65. You have received Railroad Retirement disability benefits for the prescribed time and you meet the Social Security Act disability requirements, or
- You or your spouse had Medicare-covered government employment, or
- You are under 65 and have end-stage renal disease.
If you (or your spouse) did not pay Medicare taxes while you worked and you are age 65 or older, you still may be able to buy Part A. The Part A premium for people who are not eligible for premium-free Part A is $411.00 per month in 2016.
If you do not get premium-free Part A, you may be able to buy it:
- If you (or your spouse) are not entitled to Social Security because you did not work or did not pay enough Medicare taxes while you worked and are age 65 or older, or
- If you are disabled but no longer get free Part A because you returned to work.
If you are not sure if you have Part A, look on your red, white, and blue Medicare card. If you have Part A, Hospital (Part A) is printed on the lower left corner of your card. You can also call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 or call your local Social Security Office for more information about buying Part A. If you get benefits from the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) call your local RRB office or 1-800-808-0772.
Part B (Medical Insurance)
Part B helps pay for your doctors' services, outpatient hospital care and some other medical services that Part A does not cover, such as some of the services of physical and occupational therapists and some home health care. Part B helps pay for these covered services and supplies when they are medically necessary. You may receive these services anywhere (a doctor's office, clinic, nursing home, hospital, or at home) when they are medically necessary. It does not cover prescription drugs, dental care, physicals, or other services not related to treatment of illness or injury.
Enrolling in Part B is your choice. There are three times when you can sign up for Medicare Part B:
- Initial Enrollment Period
- General Enrollment Period
- Special Enrollment Period
Initial Enrollment Period
If you are turning age 65 in the next three months and have not applied for Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, or Medicare Part A, you can sign up for Medicare Part B when you apply for retirement benefits or Medicare Part A. You can sign up for Part B during your Initial Enrollment Period. The Initial Enrollment Period:
- Begins three months before the month you turn age 65.
- Ends three months after the month you turn age 65.
Note: Start date for Medicare Part B may be delayed if you wait until you are 65 or sign up during the last three months of your Initial Enrollment Period. To apply, you can visit your local Social Security office or call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213. You may be able to apply at www.socialsecurity.gov if you meet certain conditions. If you are a railroad employee or railroad retirement beneficiary, contact your local Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) field office at www.rrb.gov/accessrrbgov/ZipLocator/zip_enter.asp or call 1-800-808-0772 to apply.
Note: Information is available at www.medicare.gov to help you make decisions about joining Medicare Part B.
General Enrollment Period
If you did not sign up for Medicare Part B when you first became eligible, you may sign up during the General Enrollment Period. Below is specific information about the General Enrollment Period:
- The General Enrollment Period runs from January 1 through March 31 of each year.
- Your Medicare Part B coverage will start on July 1 of the year you sign up.
- The cost of Medicare Part B will go up 10% for each 12-month period that you could have had Medicare Part B but did not take it, except in special cases. You will have to pay this extra amount as long as you have Medicare Part B.
- During this time, you can sign up for Medicare Part B at your local Social Security office. If you get benefits from the RRB, call your local RRB field office www.rrb.gov/accessrrbgov/ZipLocator/zip_enter.asp or 1-800-808-0772.
Special Enrollment Period
This period is available if you are eligible for Medicare and waited to enroll in Medicare Part B because you or your spouse were working and had group health plan coverage through an employer or union based on this current employment. If this applies to you, you can sign up for Medicare Part B:
- Any time you are still covered by an employer or union group health plan, through your or your spouse's current employment, or
- During the eight months following the month that the employer or union group health plan coverage ends or when the employment ends (whichever is first).
If you already get Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, you are automatically enrolled in Part B starting the first day of the month you turn age 65. If you are under age 65 and disabled, you are automatically enrolled in Part B after you get Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits for 24 months. Your Medicare card will be mailed to you about three months before your 65th birthday or your 25th month of disability benefits. If you do not want Medicare Part B, follow the instructions that came with the Medicare card.
If you sign up for Part B coverage, the premium for 2016 is $121.80 per month. The Part B premium is determined by a means test. See below for details. This amount is automatically taken out of your Social Security check each month. New premium rates become effective every January. In some cases, this amount may be higher if you did not sign up for Part B when you first became eligible. The cost of Part B may go up 10% for each 12-month period that you could have had Part B but did not sign up for it. You will have to pay this extra amount as long as you have Part B, except in special cases.
Your Part B Premium is Based on Your Income
As required in the federal Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA), single Medicare beneficiaries with annual incomes over $85,000 and married couples with incomes over $170,000 will pay a higher percentage of the cost of Medicare Part B coverage, reducing Medicare's share.
Part B Income-Related Premium
In 2016, the standard Part B premium amount will be $121.80 (or higher depending on your income). Most people who get Social Security benefits prior to 2016 will continue to pay a Part B premium of $104.90 each month. You'll pay a different premium amount in 2016 if:
- You enroll in Part B for the first time in 2016.
- You don't get Social Security benefits.
- You have Medicare and Medicaid, and Medicaid pays your premiums.
- Your modified adjusted gross income as reported on your IRS tax return from 2 years ago is above a certain amount.
If you're in 1 of these 4 groups, here's what you'll pay:
|If your yearly income in 2014 (for what you pay in 2016) was
|You pay
(in 2016)
|File individual tax return
|File joint tax return
|File married and separate tax return
|$85,000 or less
|$170,000 or less
|$85,000 or less
|above $85,000 up to $107,000
|above $170,000 up to $214,000
|Not applicable
|above $107,000 up to $160,000
|above $214,000 up to $320,000
|Not applicable
|above $160,000 up to $214,000
|above $320,000 up to $428,000
|above $85,000 and up to $129,000
|above $214,000
|above $428,000
|above $129,000
If you choose to enroll in Part B, the premium is usually taken out of your monthly Social Security, Railroad Retirement, or Office of Personnel Management retirement payment. In these cases, you will not get a bill for your premium. If you do not get any of these payments, Medicare sends you a bill for your Part B premium every three months. If you do not get your bill by the 10th of the month, call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 or your local Social Security Office. If you get benefits from the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB), call your local RRB office or 1-800-808-0772.
If you are close to age 65 and are not yet getting either Social Security or Railroad Retirement Benefits or Medicare, you can apply for both at the same time. You can also apply for Medicare only. You can sign up for Part B during your Initial Enrollment Period. Your Initial Enrollment Period begins three months before the month you turn 65 and ends three months after you turn 65. If you wait until you are 65, or sign up during the last three months of your Initial Enrollment Period, your Medicare Part B start date will be delayed. To apply you can call or visit your local Social Security office, or call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213. You may be able to apply at the Social Security Administration on the Web if you meet certain rules.

Labor Groups Rally to Support Machinists' Crucial Boeing Vote
Ever since Boeing machinists voted last week to reject the company's contract extension offer, people in the Puget Sound region have been trying to imagine a future without the aerospace giant here. But against the backdrop of those fears, labor supporters rallied Monday to show they think the machinists did the right thing.
The steady rain didn't deter them. A couple hundred protesters turned out in Seattle's Westlake Park, carrying signs that said solidarity and wearing rain ponchos bearing the words "justice, dignity, respect."
"Hey, Boeing, you can't hide! We can see your greedy side!" the crowd chanted.
Boeing's 31,000 machinists voted last week to turn down the company's contract extension that would have frozen the pension in 2016 and raised health care costs. Boeing had pledged to build the next 777 jet in the Puget Sound region if the machinists had accepted the deal. Now, Boeing is looking at other sites.
Kristen Beifus, director of the Washington Fair Trade Coalition, says there are hazards when you try to cut costs.
"You might agree with me that you don't want to be 10,000 feet in the air, worried that your plane was cheaply made by less skilled workers because of outsourcing," Beifus said.
But not everyone is so supportive. John McDonald, who was walking a few blocks away, said he thinks the workers want too much.
"I think the machinists, even though my dad was a big union guy, I think they're way out of line," he said.
Boeing, for its part, has said its offer was market-leading. But at the same time, the company said it needs to keep costs in check as it faces intense competition from Airbus.

Today's News: Oil Spill In Arkansas And Tesla Turns A Profit
Not a joke: on Friday, an Exxon pipeline carrying crude oil from the tar sands region of Alberta leaked about 10,000 barrels of corroding, low-quality crude oil into an Arkansas town — Exxon cleanup crews are trying to keep the oil from reaching Lake Conway, a popular game-fishing spot, through storm drains. [Washington Post]
Jeffers said that the company received phone calls from people in the area at the same time its pipeline monitors in Houston noticed a drop in pressure in the line…. Exxon Mobil said that fumes from the oil spill posed a risk in "high pooling areas," where oil could be seen on the ground and where crews were working with safety equipment. …
The Arkansas incident also comes just a few days after a Canadian Pacific Railroad train carrying oil sands crude — a mixture of heavy bitumen and lighter dilutents — from Alberta to Chicago derailed near Parkers Prairie, Minn., spilling about 357 barrels.
That accident drew attention because the State Department's new environmental impact statement on the Keystone XL said that if the pipeline were blocked, oil sands crude would still be able to reach markets via railroads, which carry more than 1 million barrels a day of oil in the United States. Supporters of the pipeline say that shipping oil by pipeline would be safer and more fuel efficient than doing so by rail.

That picture really brings home the concept of Not In My Back Yard.
A UK environmental correspondent leaves the stage, reflecting on the grievous challenges we face:
Couldn't help noticing that tar-sands bitumen has a new name in the mainstream media: "Canadian Oil".
Some additions for Tesla's good news (the American electric car maker) they not only turned a profit (that was forecast) they beat that forecast by producing more cars than expected & booking more orders than forecast.
They also announced that they are dropping the 40 kWh battery pack size version of the Tesla S – less than 4% of orders are for that version, it doesn't make financial sense for the company to develop & produce that pack with so few orders, so Tesla is going to put the 60-kWh pack in the orders for the 40kWh models and restrict its use to just 40kWh (which Tesla will be able to upgrade to use the full 60 kWh with a software update if the owners decides they want to "buy" that upgrade later).
Most orders are for the 250-300 mile range 85 kWh pack version of the Model S, followed by the 60 kWh pack version. Tesla originally thought the 40kWh pack version would be the primary seller once it started shipping later this summer because of the significantly lower price.
So, does Exxon buy out the property owners? If this happened in my yard, I would not like to live with the toxins that would remain after an intensive clean up. I am sure that property values will go way down even after a clean up.
Nice article Spikes, makes one sit back and contemplate the big picture and where we're going.
"Radical geoengineering projects may need to get some sort of approval before people decide to try them."
Understatement of the century…
Looking at some of these details for our new Energy Secretary nominee – his pedigree looks like something more appropriate for the industry friendly role of Sec. of Interior (i.e. Ken Salazar):
Worked as a consultant for BP from 2005 thru 2012. Is a board member of the "King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center in Saudi Arabia", is bullish on fracking and promises to stay away from decisions that affect companies he worked with for a whole 1 year!
Ugh, somebody convince Obama to keep Chu in place, please….
I'd like somebody like Mark Jacobson from Stanford.
Boy John that looks great, oh, if we only had Dr. Jacobson as an option…
At least publicize terrific work like this:
By the way, Prof. Jacobson's study of using wind power to replace fossil fuels is especially relevant in light of Tesla's profitability . . .
Geo-engineering without 'some sort of approval' may then become a crime against humanity.
A bit disingenuous, I'd say. Since when do the proles get any say in affairs? Sham elections every few years, with identical parties all bought by the money power, and whose leaders lie through their teeth, deliberately misrepresent and disguise their true intentions, then, once elected, they serve their rich masters first, last and always. All overseen by a ruthlessly malevolent MSM propaganda system that specialises in disinformation and whipping up hysterias with its hate and fearmongering. If there is a quid in it, or the chance to use it as some means of hostile aggression against the latest 'threat to our Freedom!', geo-engineering will happen, and all those opposing it will be denounced and vilified. That is, business as usual.
It's kicking sand in the face of the Greenies time, all year round!
I'm only surprised that Obama didn't nominate Richard 'Dilbit' Cheney- in the interests of 'reaching out' to the Thuggees, of course.
The magic screw is alive and well!!

Skip to comments.Top US General Blasts Ex-Officers for Attacking Obama
Posted on 08/21/2012 4:32:35 PM PDT by kristinn
ABOARD A US MILITARY AIRCRAFT US military chief General Martin Dempsey denounced ex-officers Tuesday for waging a campaign against President Barack Obama, arguing that soldiers had a duty to stay above the political fray.
Wading into a potential minefield during a hotly contested White House race, Dempsey voiced his disapproval of a group of retired military members and CIA officers who have accused Obama of spilling sensitive national security details to help secure his re-election.
Asked if the group's criticism was valid or useful, Dempsey, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he would not comment on the substance of their allegations.
But he added: "As to the latter, is it useful? No, it's not useful. It's not useful to me."
(Excerpt) Read more at google.com ...
Here's the object of our admiration.
Ummm, once he's retired and out of uniform, is it OK if I regard him as a communist-@ss kissing POS? Pretty much the same as I regard Colon Powell and Wessley Clark?
This general is wrong. It is traditional and historical and legal, that when a person in the military disagrees with a governmental policy or act, that person is supposed to retire and speak out. That is the honorable course. So this political beast wearing a uniform, is playing politics himself- to the disgrace of the country and his uniform.
If that's the case, why is he even commenting on the issue?
And to that list i add, BushI the carrier pilot, Reagan in the Army reserves from 1937 as a private, then activated and commissioned for WWII made training films, Carter nuclear subs, Ford WWII officer in an escort carrier, Nixon Navy WWII could have avoided service entirely as a bona fide Quaker, JFK PT-boats in combat, Eisenhower, Truman WWI Artillery officer, Hoover wasn't military but was a mining engineer who worked all over the world in bad conditions, and was eyeballs deep in WWI before and after we got pulled in. McGovern wasnt elected but flew B-24s in the thick of the bombing of Germany, Also MacArthur wasnt elected, but he became political too and was celebrated for it.
The fact is, most presidents have had military backgrouds to one degree or another. And the ones that didnt mostly had backgrounds of extreme accomplishment like Hoover.
Former Officers becoming political is practically a tradition. Marxist moslem presidents are not. And almost all presidents early accomplishments make Obamao look like a joke.
Who is this general's boss?
Oh yeah, Oblameo.
Take it up with your boss, chickenshit!
But it was OK when disgruntled ex-Bush officials were going public trashing Bush after they were fired. Colon Bowel (a.k.a. "The Most Interesting Man In The World") had no problem running his mouth.
The media couldn't get those eggheads on the 6 o'clock news fast enough. What a crock that was. When was the last time you heard somebody fired from a company say, "Working there was great! Best company ever! Loved every minute! The leadership was top-notch!"
well played
Yup, you don't get stars by being a rebel and bucking the system. These guys have whored themselves for an entire career, it's not like they're going to stop once they've got their stars (unless they intentionally get fired like Gen. Patreus).
We have seen this crap before.
Dempsey says officers should be above the fray, but here he is in the fray....and he's active duty, the very time at which they are to be above the fray.
When retired or exited service, they are perfectly free to speak of anything except classified information.
Hey Dempsey, SFB you're to support & defend the CONSTITUTION not a political party, any real general would know that.
And what "prior" service members (like any American) think & do, are none of your business, its called exercising their "First Amendment Rights"
Punk ass cowards (just like you) are a dime a dozen.... So STFU and continue servicing your master.
Just sayin
Just how many former military officers actually did become President?
You forgot the first one....George Washington; as well as
Eisenhower. Of course there were also military officers who served as President of the Republic of Texas before Texas agreed to join the USA.
NO cheers, unfortunately.
SOMEBODY obviously considers Gen. Dempsey to be irreplaceable. I was looking at the General's bio and noticed that he served as Army Chief of Staff before being picked to be the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He only served 145 days as Army CoS. Less than 6 months! That's it! I could see giving him a bump if he'd been in the position for a couple of years, but... This suggests that the General has some 'political utility' to the current administration. Probably been carrying the water for the Homo Agenda -- must be the "Rainbow Ribbon".
David Hackworth used to call guys like this the Perfumed Princes of the Pentagon
Yes; it's disturbing how many "delicate doilies" are high ranking in our military.
Dempsey is correct for "ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY PERSONNEL". When military members are no longer on active duty or have been discharged or retired they have the same rights as any other citizen to voice their political preferences. Reserve and National Guard members not on active duty have the same rights as long as they don't express them in Military Uniform. The Nation has a long history of Veterans becoming involved in politics and General Dempsey shouldn't confuse Veterans rights with Active Duty Personnel Restrictions.
Your comment was my immediate first thought. My second thought was...and by going public with his denouncement, active-duty Dempsey is doing exactly what he falsely condemns others of doing.
As well as Harrison, McKinley, and Truman ...
"Article 88, UCMJ applies to all commissioned officers, even after discharge or retirement"
When Clinton became CoC, my commander told me to mind my P's & Q's and not criticize the Draft Dodger while on active duty, citing Article 88. I looked up its history in the Manual for Courts Martial. It dates to 1867 (not 1967 as some thought) and was intended to restrain general officers in the Union Army with presidential ambitions from criticizing the then incumbent President, the very unpopular Andrew Johnson.
I do not believe Article 88 can be practicably applied against retired officers simply because court-martialing a retiree requires bringing him/her back onto active duty for the duration of the trial. This is rarely done and only under charges of extreme moral turpitude or embezzlement.
Years later I got an opinion from the commandant of the U.S. Army JAG School that an active duty service member can indeed criticize the policies of an elected official, even to his face, if there is no personal insult given.
It reminds me of Clinton blustering in 1995 that those flag or general officers who disagreed with his policies vis-a-vis the military "should be willing to come to my office and lay their stars down on the table" by which he meant resign their commissions in protest & forfeit their retirement benefits. A fine lecture in moral courage from a draft dodging coward, by the way.
General Dempsey does himself and his office no service by being seen as a political toady of the White House. He should stick to exercising his duties as Joint Chiefs chairman.
Then, General, "sir", please STFU 'Sir'!!!!
This general is an idiot...and an nobama bootlicker.
I would agree that some PC/Cultural Marxist hack liked this guy as well as the rest of the Joint Political Whores plus the next batch of Generals (Who long ago traded honor for ass kissing and back stabbing) and serves as an invaluable to some point of view. In the end with this current crop of military leaders is that whoever was advising Bush/Congress that promoted these incompetents should be tried for treason. Half /s
Btw, these horrible creatures need to be stopped at the 0-6 - 07 level which is why I mentioned the previous administration and Congress.
Unless they are "gay"....
Then they can march in uniform in a "pride" parade....
Not political at all, I guess.
General "Benedict Arnold" Dempsey can Rot in hell for all I care. These ex-soldiers have every right to denounce the communist scum occupying the White House.
I would submit that this comment by the Gen to retired military infringing on their First Amendment rights is more offensive than Akin's comment...
The Gen should know better.
General, unless you press them back into service, you have no say. So, shut yer damned corn-nibbler.
Amen to that...30 yr Navy and can agree with everything you said.
I've posted this before but it always makes me smile:
A retired four-star related the story when he discovered he was no longer in the service. He saw a convoy going down the interstate and driving too fast. He pulled up next to the lead vehicle and put his hand out to signal they slow down. The driver of the lead vehicle quickly looked at him and gave him the middle-finger salute. The general said at that moment he realized he has no longer in the service.
"stay above the political fray?"
What would the general say his comments are? "Above the political fray?" NOT! Stupidity should hurt.
HEY GENERAL DEMPSEY: Bite me; you suck up.
Some real whackos attacked him for that. They said an Air Craft Carrier had to turn around to rescue him because of who he was. As if Air Craft Carriers just go on their merry way after flight ops. Bush was picked up by a sub that was On Station to pick up downed fliers as SOP. Geesh, you can learn that from John Wayne films. BTW, the Jap Commander on Kiki Jima had a reputation for cannibalism.
What logic dictates that those who served to protect liberty for all should be denied it for themselves? Good order and discipline rightly require active duty military to not PUBLICALLY enter the political fray; but veterans are an altogether different story.
Exactly. Doing as he was told, being the good little obedient soldier
Just like Colin Powell kept his big mouth shut.
You can beat your ass that liberal Dempsey was promoted under the liberal Obama. Nothing else needs to be said.
"My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of the higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military"
Smedley Butler, Major General, USM
Winner of two Medals of Honor
I prefer the moniker REMF. I had the displeasure of working with a fair share of officers who NEVER should have been allowed near soldiers.
I'm not ready to call GEN Dempsey a REMF, but it's getting close.
Where was this guy when Gen. Wesley Clark was bashing Bush on every broadcast he could find?
Yeah, thought so.
I have a "suggestion" for him: If you're only going after someone for bashing Obama, pull up your skirt. Your liberal bias is showing.
Exactly. He is the only officer that is acting politically. The others are ex officers, allowed to do as they please. The General should be court marshaled for doing exactly what he is accusing the ex officers of doing.
And William Henry Harrison, Ulysses S. Grant, George H.W. Bush, Teddy Roosevelt, Zachary Taylor, Andrew Jackson, Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield... Only 12 presidents in our history never served in the military prior to entering politics. Interestingly, that number includes Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Clinton and Obama - 4 of the presidents that have moved us toward socialism the most during their presidencies...
Yes, that is pretty much the subject they are about. Check 'em out.
Exactly. He is the only officer that is acting politically. The others are ex officers, allowed to do as they please. The General should be court marshaled for doing exactly what he is accusing the ex officers of doing.
Snorted soda thru my nose when I saw your picture/poster, LOL. Ironic that militants hit the general's airplane on the ground yesterday, isn't it :-)
I think we civilians should be contacting the joint chiefs of staff to express our dismay that the Chairman is so totally ignorant of the US Constitution. Anyone have contact info?

Tau Pi Phi
Tau Pi Phi was founded in Springfield, Ohio at Wittenberg University in 1931. The first two members of the honorary society were Wittenberg faculty members Professor Virgil H. Dassel and Dr. Daniel T. Krauss. In 1936, when Professor Dassel accepted a faculty position at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio, the Beta Chapter was formed. Since its founding, a number of chapters have been established in a variety of states from New Jersey to California. Tau Pi Phi encourages the establishment of new chapters across the nation.
Tau Pi Phi's threefold ideals are:
- industry and fidelity,
- intelligence and science,
- prosperity and service.
Membership Requirements
Marietta College's Tau Pi Phi chapter is comprised of students studying in the Department of Business & Economics. Membership in the honorary is open to those students who have:
- completed at least 15 hours of B&E courses with a 3.2 GPA, and
- earned a 3.2 overall GPA.
Initiation ceremonies are held in the spring of each academic year. Students who meet the above criteria will be notified by the B&E Department for initiation.
One of the highlights of Tau Pi Phi membership is the opportunity to collaborate with other Marietta College Tau Pi Phi members on one of two teams invited to participate in the annual national Tau Pi Phi case study competition.
Current Officers
At its February 3, 2015, meeting, the membership elected new officers for the 2015-2016 academic year. They are Caleb Hester (president), Lauren C. Morain (secretary), and Kate Reid (treasurer). Tau Pi Phi officiers are responsible for organizing the annual initiation ceremony and evaluating candidates for the Douglas C. Greene Scholarship. Additionally, the Tau Pi Phi president is a voting member of the Department of Business & Economics.
Annual Business Case Competition
Each year all Tau Pi Phi chapters are invited to assemble teams of students to compete in the annual case Competition. Students gather for two days, usually in late March or early April, for the opportunity to analyze and present their recommendations on two business cases. The weekend concludes on Saturday afternoon with a banquet honoring the case winners and celebrating the work of all teams. For more information on the competition, please contact Tau Pi Phi advisor Professor David Mead.

Thanks to Nicola for his support in all (many!) forums with qTranslate. And especial for this very useful plugin!
I have installed qTranslate with 2 lang (Ru|En). My site setup default to (Ru) lang with an option for second (En) like 'site.com/en/...'
Before this plugin when I press 'Post comment' from second non-default-lang (En) page I was switched to my default-lang (Ru) same page.
After some search find this plugin, installed and happy :)

Product Description
From Amazon
Amazon Best Books of the Month, November 2010: When a master of horror and heebie-jeebies like Stephen King calls his book Full Dark, No Stars, you know you're in for a treat--that is, if your idea of a good time is spent curled up in a ball wondering why-oh-why you started reading after dark. King fans (and those who have always wanted to give him a shot) will devour this collection of campfire tales where marriages sway under the weight of pitch-black secrets, greed and guilt poison and fester, and the only thing you can count on is that "there are always worse things waiting." Full Dark, No Stars features four one-sitting yarns showcasing King at his gritty, gruesome, giddy best, so be sure to check under the bed before getting started. --Daphne Durham --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
"King [is] the most wonderfully gruesome man on the planet... The pages practically turn themselves."--Carol Memmott, "USA Today"
"Might yield another classic... Solid psychological chillers."--"Columbus Dispatch"
""Full Dark, No Stars" is an extraordinary collection, thrillingly merciless, and a career high point."--"The Telegraph" (UK)
"A page turner.... King ... seems able to write compact tales or gargantuan ones with equal ease."--Janet Maslin, "New York Times"
"Just as gripping as his epic novels."--"St. Louis Post-Dispatch"""

Man, what a book. What can be said for it? Well, a lot.
A collection of four unrelated (plot-wise) short stories, they focus mainly on revenge, and matters of that nature. The tales themselves are interesting, very King-ish in every way - well thought-out, comical in their own right, a nice touch of chill, and a critical examination of the human psyche - damaged, or otherwise.
Now, I have to say, upon reading this novel before reaching the afterword, I found myself slightly disappointed. I found that many of the stories lacked the critical 'twist,' detailing more the reaction of someone to a bad situation (sometimes of their own making) rather than a true intricate tale. I found myself waiting for twists that didn't come, or shimmers of the usual SK horror that just didn't deliver.
I finished the last story, a little taken aback. This was an expensive book, and one I had waited a long time to read. I'm a long time King-fan, and this was supposed to cure my craving for at least a short while.
However, and there's always a however.
Upon reading the afterword, my entire opinion on the collection was given a drastic 180. King doesn't usually explain himself or his writing in the novels themselves, usually choosing to detail his thought processes either in other works, or in interviews. In FULL DARK, NO STARS - he does. He gives a clear statement of his intention with the collection, and the aim he sought out to achieve in writing it. This make the whole book that much more interesting to me - the stories being variations on a theme, rather than a bunch of similar tales.
In any case, a 5/5 read any King fan should heartily enjoy.
Just read the afterword once you've finished.
The four stories are:
"1922" reads like a Stephen King treatment of The Tell-Tale Heart. A depression-era Nebraska farmer and his son commit murder and seem to get away with it. But the experience festers in their minds and in their lives.
"Big Driver" tells about the rape of a woman on a lonely country road and the steps she takes to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. She gets some good advice from those around her. But she makes a mistake.
"Fair Extension" is a deal-with-the-devil story. Dave Streeter gets an "extension" on his life that makes his cancer go away. He doesn't have to sign away his soul. Not exactly. But he no longer envies the happy life of his best friend, Tom Goodhugh.
"A Good Marriage" introduces Darcy Anderson, who has a happy life and a part-time rare coin business with her husband Bob. One day she discovers that he is a brutal serial killer. It isn't at all clear what the next steps are.
The collection is highly recommended, especially as an audio book. I don't often sit in my car, becoming later and later for work, while I listen to the end of a story. This book did it to me twice.
I was totally gripped throughout this whole thing, and enjoyed each and every paragraph. Stephen King does a super job here, one of his best!!!
Impossible to put down, except when I went to make the sure the door was locked.
SK fans will not be disappointed.

One of the most salient developmental tasks of adolescence is the entry into romantic relationship, which often involves developing attachments to partners. Adolescents with a history of maltreatment have been found to be at greater risk of insecure attachments to romantic partners than non-maltreated adolescents, and the interaction of maltreatment and insecure attachment style has been linked to dating violence. The current study examined attachment styles and dating violence in child welfare-involved adolescents with borderline-to-mild intellectual disability (n = 40) and with average IQ (n = 116). Despite reporting similar experiences of childhood maltreatment, IQ was found to interact with avoidant attachment style to predict the degree of dating violence victimization and perpetration experienced by youth. It is suggested that an avoidant attachment style is a risk factor for all maltreated youth, and holds a particularly strong effect on youth with lower IQ levels. These findings highlight the need for developmentally appropriate attachment and dating violence interventions for maltreated youth.

Fr. Ron Rolheiser, omi
There are few more insightful studies into the spirituality of aging than the late James Hillman's book, The Force of Character. Ironically, Hillman was more critical of Christian spirituality than sympathetic to it; yet his brilliant insights into nature's design and intent offer perspectives on the spirituality of aging that often eclipse what is found in explicitly Christian writings.
Read the rest of entry »
There's a story in the Hindu tradition that runs something like this: God and a man are walking down a road. The man asks God: "What is the world like?" God answers: "I'd like to tell you, but my throat is parched. I need a cup of cold water. If you can go and get me a cup of cold water, I'll tell you what the world is like." The man heads off to the nearest house to ask for a cup of cold water. He knocks on the door and it is opened by a beautiful young woman. He asks for a cup of cold water. She answers: "I will gladly get it for you, but it's just time for the noon meal, why don't you come in first and eat." He does.
Today, for a number of reasons, we struggle to be generous and prodigal with God's mercy. As the number of people who attend church services continues to decline, the temptation among many of our Church leaders and ministers is to see this more as a pruning than as a tragedy and to respond by making God's mercy less, rather than more, accessible.
The poet, Rumi, submits that we live with a deep secret that sometimes we know, and then not. That can be helpful in understanding our faith. One reason why we struggle with faith is that God's presence inside us and in our world is rarely dramatic, overwhelming, sensational, something impossible to ignore. God doesn't work like that. Rather God's presence, much to our frustration and loss of patience sometimes, is something that lies quiet and seemingly helpless inside us.
Nature, desire and soul, we rarely integrate these well. Yet they are so inextricably linked that how we relate to one deeply colours the others; and, indeed, spirituality itself might be defined as what we each do in terms of integrating these three in our lives. More recently notable spiritual authors such as Annie Dillard, Kathleen Norris, Bill Plotkin, and Belden Lane have argued persuasively that physical nature profoundly affects the soul, just as how we manage our private desires deeply influences how we treat nature. Spirituality is naïve when it is divorced from nature and desire. In a book just released, The Road Knows How: A Prairie Pilgrimage through Nature, Desire and Soul, Canadian writer Trevor Herriot joins these voices in calling for a better integration between nature, desire and soul.
When I was a student in the seminary, I had two kinds of teachers. One kind, precisely because they were fiercely loyal to all that is Christian and Catholic, would have us read great secular thinkers but always with the intent of helping to show where these thinkers were wrong. Our intellectual task as Catholic seminarians, they would tell us, is to defend Catholicism against the kinds of criticisms found in the writings of these secular, sometimes anti-Christian, thinkers and to keep our faith and teaching free of their influence.
Easter is about many things. We celebrate God's power to overcome death, sin, and injustice, but we also celebrate the voices and wounds of the ones who died on Good Friday. To illustrate this, I would like to recount one such voice, that of an anonymous young woman who was brutally raped and murdered by the Salvadoran military in 1981, at a place fittingly called La Cruz. The story was reported by Mark Danner, a journalist.
We need to give away some of our own possessions in order to be healthy. Wealth that is hoarded always corrupts those who possess it. Any gift that is not shared turns sour. If we are not generous with our gifts we will be bitterly envied and will eventually turn bitter and envious ourselves.
After Mother Teresa died, her diaries revealed something that shocked many people, namely, during the last 60 years of her life, from age 27 until she died at age 87, she struggled to imagine that God existed and had no affective experience of either the person or the existence of God. Yet, during all those years, everything in her life incarnated and radiated an exceptional, one-in-a-hundred-million, selflessness, altruism and faith commitment.
There are three kinds of performers: The first, while singing a song or doing a dance, are making love to themselves. The second, while performing, are making love to the audience. The third, while on stage, are making love to the song, to the dance, to the drama itself. Of course, it's not difficult to discern who the better performer is. The one making love to the song, of course, best honours the song and draws energy from some deeper place. He or she does this by entering into and channeling the energy of the song rather than by entering into and channeling their own energy or the energy of the audience.

Exactly right! Now all the righties will pile on to say Bennett's wrong, and probably, "racist liberal". Hmmm, where's the junction with U.S. 127???
It's OK to blame Obama, even for things that happened before 2009 but never Bush, even including things that happened before 2009…right wing logic.
Sabinal Tx, where else?
I'm not right wing, but I find this hyperbole a bit much. People have been blaming Bush for things for 5 years. Both parties do this.
That's my point. There are a number of people here who constantly blame Obama for all sorts of (usually unspecified) things and yet complain bitterly when when someone blames Bush. Either we all grow up and realize that reality is not so simple that you can attribute responsibility in such a limited way, or we go the way of the dinosaurs
Noooo. I don't think the Right blames Bush for anything.
PAJ stated an opinion which race was not a part of, this comment and animation goes a long ways towards proving his point.
I disagree with PAJ on most points and occasionally find him obnoxious.
I sure wish you would quit making him look so good. It is embarrassing to liberals with common sense.
Got it. That makes more sense. Thanks for the thoughtful reply.
I neither said specifically, nor inferred that they do.
Great cartoon. He'll walk around the front of the vehicle for a little light bumper snack before he asks some cop to help change his tire. Then he'll gripe about the disrepair to the socialist highway paid by our tax dollars. He'll probably gripe to the officer that Obama wants to restrict cop killer bullets, large clips, and assault weapons, to the cop who helps change his tire. http;//www.salon.com//2013/08/29/clintons_line_was_true_the_sad_facts_about_assault_weapons_and_voting/
Use that head for something other than a hat rack dude.
This is supposed to be a cartoon. It reflects a bad attitude BUT it is based in some facts.
The economy – despite all the media support and the administrations fuzzy math – is STILL not "in recovery". Yes, the stock market (rich people) is going gangbusters. BUT that is NOT where the middle class make their funds.
So this dude – a working stiff evidently – has a flat tire. Has spare is already getting fixed and he really needs to buy a set BUT he happens to be out of work and has been for the last 2 years> Yes, he gets food assistance, phone assistance and medical assistance at the ER but NO ONE is going to help with the gas and the maintenance on the truck.
Obama is now and has been for 5 years in charge of improvements on the economy.
So you are right Doc. Oh yeah!
Clay Bennett contributes to a Chattanooga paper. US 127 runs north and west of that City. If he lives close to his job, it could be a junction with Tenn 8, 28, 111, 283, or US 27 all of which intersect US 127
Ah, green jobs are doing well. Just ask Tesla Motors! http;//blog.rmi.org/blog_2013_07_31_debunking_renewable_disinformatin_campaign
Bruce: Thanks, I was seriously curious because I figured it might well relate to "local mentalities"! Just figured with an odd number, must be headed north to south, as opposed to east-west!
Read up on what Bush did during his presidency and you'll see why most of our problems continue because of his idiocy:
Invades two countries and leaves the mess to the current president to fix.
Gave tax breaks for corporations to outsource jobs overseas (tax breaks that have been extended in exchange for unemployment benefits),
Semi-privatized the military (old joke about how a contractor will do a military job for $100, Halliburton does the same job for $1,000 and hires the guy who will do it for $100).
Destroyed the economy when he passed the Commodities and Futures act which allowed banks to sell sub prime mortgages as assets on the stock market. BTW trying to find out who owns those mortgages is next to impossible, which has given rise to a new type of scam.
Gave gubbermint money to those same banks for every home that was foreclosed, which is why they are bent on making it impossible to help people save their houses.
Passed no child left behind which is wrecking havoc on the public education system.
Gave us the porno scanners at the airports.
Increased audits on the middle class and eased audits on the wealthy (remember his speech about elitist being his base? If not Google it).
Sent Martha Stuart to jail.
Put all of the war expenses in the emergency fund instead of the general budget (cooking the books as they say)
And the guy who is in the white house is trying to fix this mess, but the house is more interested in doing the opposite of what he wants.

What happens when a science educator and a music teacher write songs together? The result is "another angle on learning" taken by Good Dog to educate children about marine life.
On Friday, Good Dog is performing "original nature songs aimed at teaching basic ocean literacy" said co-founder Jim Pfeiffenberger.
Good Dog uses scientific accuracy, "one guitar and two voices" to illustrate the adaptations of maritime mammals, birds, and fish.
Trained vocalist Liesl Davenport-Wheeler and Jim Pfeiffenberger formed Good Dog over a dozen years ago in Seward.
Jim currently works at the Ocean Alaska Science and Learning Center. Now a choir teacher at Bartlett High School in Anchorage, Liesl continues to sing as part of Good Dog at events such as Whale Fest Kodiak, the Seattle Folk Festival, and school assemblies around Alaska.
In 2002, they released eleven original songs entitled Tunes from the Tides. The CD prominently features a variety of percussionists, tuba and the naturalistic duo.
Famed blues player Taj Mahal is probably the most requested musical artist ever to come to Homer, a musician whose range of talent spans a global history as much as a rich sound.
Downward Dog producer Michael Hayes said Taj has been to Alaska at least once that he's known of, and comes to the Kenai Peninsula for fishing trips now and then.
"He's a big fisherman. He's probably the most requested artist we've ever had in the years we've been doing concerts. It isn't sold out yet, but it's on its way," Hayes said. "He's been around, forever. He even played with Jimmy Hendrix back in the '60s."
"It was a terrible state of affairs,
And all because one greedy old man
Had gathered all the light–
Every single ray–
And locked it away
In a house with no door,
A house by the Nass,
A river that flowed
From mountain to shore."
Last month, Homer Council on the Arts invited members of the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra to perform on April 20, as part of the gallery concert series.
Concertmaster Sue Biggs, her husband Jack Will, Trina Uvaas, and Aaron Lohmeyer seized the opportunity. The group chose to play as two duos rather than as a quartet; Trina and Aaron prepared duets for guitar and fiddle, while Jack and Sue will plan to perform mostly double fiddle pieces.
"Writing songs is hard, unless you're surrounded by influences," says Cindy McKenna, a self taught singer, songwriter and guitarist, who is performing original songs from her CD "Joy of Life" and others at the Homer Council on the Arts building Friday evening.
Although inspired by solo artists, principally — Judy Collins, Kate Wolf, and Joan Baez — McKenna said she "is trying to do more collaborations with other musicians."
Composer Phil Munger finds inspiration in the most varied of places.
His cantata "The Skies are Weeping" was inspired by Rachel Corrie, who was killed by a bulldozer demolishing a house in the Gaza Strip in 2003. He wrote a ragtime piece in tribute to a conductor friend — and ragtime fan — Gordon Wright, who was found dead on his porch during a cold snap in 2007.
"He was sitting on his porch frozen, sitting on top of this casket he'd made for himself years ago because he was 6-feet, 8-inches (tall)" and he didn't want to be buried in a casket where they'd have to bend his knees," Munger said, describing how Wright's friends wound up putting him in that casket to carry him down the hill his house sat on.
When the devastating earthquake and subsequent nuclear power plant eruption hit earlier this year in Japan, a Kenai Peninsula musician decided to write a song. Called a world-wide "Healing Meditation and Prayer for the Japanese Nuclear Power-Plant Workers," George Holly Jr., dedicated the song to those who were consciously giving their lives for the sake of all.
"This is an inter-faith effort to send them healing energy and God's love," Holly wrote beneath his YouTube posting.
Leading up to major concerts, free music performances at restaurants begin August 1 under the auspices of the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra. Fresh Sourdough Express is the site of Monday's performance. On Tuesday Rudy Multz performs at the Mermaid Cafe. Wednesday brings Victim with Crime to the Harbor Grill, Don Jose's is the fun spot Thursday and Two Sister's Bakery is the music scene Friday.
With many people volunteering their services, this year's Jazz in the Cove is expected to funnel most of the money raised into the Horn Section, a music education fund established in memory of beloved music teacher Renda Horn.
"Miles of Eva" is Milo Matthews' sixth solo album, yet the well-known musician considers it his debut.
How can that be, given the definition of debut is to "formally introduce one to the public?"
"I've spent the past 20 years on these songs, and some go back to 1989," Milo said. "It's a compilation of everything I've done, everything I am. This is the first recording I've done in this way – no holds barred. I worked on it every day for a year."

Parking is terrible. You can rarely find an empty spot during the day.
Because South is mainly a commuter school, parking can be tight.
A lot better than Troy University
The jag tram is a great source of transportation on campus.
The one problem I have with this campus is parking. Since having a new dorm built. Finding a parking spot at night is almost impossible.

Good RB Designs ... Poor RB Mug Quality
(Just also posted in RB's marketing forum)
Clearly people love buying mugs for a host of reasons. A good thing for those wanting to sell products here on RB.
However, the availability of so many high quality and original designs on RB to place on these mugs, suggests that the quality of design and materials used in the actual mug/s themselves should at least match the excellence of the designs themselves.
The current mugs look the same as all the mass produced, print your own design mugs used everywhere. (Shiny surfaced ceramics, uninteresting texture, same tired handle and mug design and shape.)
So, if a discerning eye can find endless discerning designs and images here at Red Bubble, why would a smart marketer not suspect that they might also apply the same discerning eye to the a…
