Posted on March 24, 2010
This last summer, to deal with a rush of record donations, I tried putting the records out without pricetags. I gave instructions that LPs were one dollar per disc, unless otherwise marked. Any record that was not an LP was to be referred to me, so I could stick a pricetag on it appropriate to its format.
This is when I found out that an awful lot of people don't know what an LP is. I had plenty of angry collectors of 78s on my increasingly clenched hands. So here are some record-collecting terms you might find useful.
LP: This is generally a 12-inch disc, meant to be played at 33 1/3 rpm. (If you don't know what an rpm is, don't sweat it. As things are going, you may never need to know.) It is almost always made of poly-vinyl chloride, or PVC.
78: This is a common term for a disc, often 10 inches across but sometimes 12, meant to be played at 78 rpm. Since they were usually made of shellac, some collectors prefer the term "shellac" for these, because in the days of the 1900s format wars, they might have played at anywhere from 60 rpm to 120 rpm.
45: This is generally a 7-inch record which became the standard format for singles in the days when LPs were taking over. Because of the huge hole in the middle, these were also known as doughnut discs. They played, as you might have guessed, at 45 rpm. During the format wars of the late 1940s, there were also 7 inchers that played at 33 1/3 rpm or at 78 rpm, as well as 10-inch EPs that played at 33 1/3 rpm, and so on.
rpm: Okay, if you have to know, that's revolutions per minute, a revolution being the time it takes a record to go around one time. As Thomas Edison, who preferred cylinder recordings, pointed out, this is merely an average speed, since the outside of a disc takes longer to get around than the inside. (Because it has farther to go, see, not because different parts of the disc are moving at different…just take my word for it, okay?)
Jacket: This is the cardboard envelope used primarily for LPs: the front contains a picture while the back usually contains a long description of the record, which hardly anybody reads. This, for your store of obsolete knowledge, is called the "liner notes" An LP without its jacket loses a lot of its appeal.
Sleeve: This is a paper envelope traditionally used for 78s or 45s, sometimes (more often with 45s) including a picture of the performer and liner notes. An LP is often enclosed in a paper sleeve for extra protection inside its cardboard jacket. The paper sleeves for 45s, being easily lost or destroyed, are highly collectible if they have this picture, and are then known as "picture sleeves". (These were often ruined anyway in dimestores and department stores, where a hole was punched through them so a chain could be run through all the spindle holes, foiling shoplifters from stealing these 29 cent items. NOW I suppose you want to know what a dimestore or department store is.) I have been trying to raise a laugh from people by pointing out that an LP has its sleeve inside its jacket. I'll let you know if anything happens along those lines.
Picture disc: No, I don't mean that CD-rom of pictures from your vacation trip to Elgin. Almost all LPs, 78s, or 45s were pressed in black plastic or shellac, but this was not required. (The black color in the PVC is a result of petroleum content, and when people tried other colors, they found the black vinyl actually played better because of the lubrication offered by the oil.) Sometimes a company would use clear vinyl and put a picture of the band or something relating to the song underneath. We do not deal in absolutes here at the Book Fair but, within reason, ALL PICTURE DISCS ARE WORTH MONEY. Yes, I will go out on a limb and say that this is one collectible you can almost always make a buck or two on. I'll probably get the one exception in the next donation, but there's always something.
That's enough to go on right now. I think I could still explain the difference between a phonograph and a gramophone, but I'll have to look up hill-and-dale recording. I may start a fight over what a "soundtrack" is, too, but the weather's too pleasant today. Maybe next time.

I wear black for work day in, day out - it's a Melbourne thing really.
So on the weekends I like to escape work mode by wearing lots of bright colours.
However I do think brunettes with gorgeous olive skin
look amazing in black and white summer fashions.
Black or white swimwear on golden tanned skin
and a good figure looks just stunning!

CHICAGO (AP) — A judge on Wednesday imposed a gag order on attorneys in the tax-evasion trial of a powerful Chicago Democrat after a defense lawyer claimed jury selection was "rigged" because no black men were in the 50-person pool from which jurors were selected.
Opening statements at Cook County Commissioner William Beavers' trial were set for Thursday after the jury was selected Wednesday. Each side will have 30 minutes to talk to jurors about allegations that the former policeman turned politician diverted around $225,000 from his campaign coffers for gambling and other personal use without reporting it.
The 12 jurors who will decide Beaver's fate include 10 whites, a Hispanic and one African-American — a woman. In all, the jury has seven women and five men.
Lawyers for Beavers, who is black, made race an issue Tuesday by complaining to U.S. District Judge James Zagel that there were no black men and only a few black women in the jury pool. They argued that a jury of Beavers' peers should include at least a few African-American males.
Outside court, defense attorney Sam Adam Sr. told reporters he'd never seen a jury pool without at least one African-American male in his more than 50 years practicing in federal court.
Zagel did not refer directly to Adam's comments Wednesday in announcing the ban on statements to the media during the trial. But he said comments in public by attorneys during a trial "frequently distracts the lawyers from the purpose of the case."
Prosecutors themselves haven't spoken publicly about the case, while defense attorneys had been addressing TV cameras and reporters almost daily. Violating the gag order could mean jail time.
Beavers, who also served for years as a Chicago alderman, has pleaded not guilty to four federal tax counts. Each count carries a maximum three-year prison sentence.
Sam Adam Sr.'s son, Sam Adam Jr., will deliver the opening for Beavers. The father-and-son duo are known for super-charged, often witty and sometimes inflammatory public commentary on their clients' behalf.
The younger Adam delivered the opening and closing at former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's first corruption trial, which ended in a hung jury. He also played a central role defending R. Kelly at the R&B singer's 2008 child pornography trial, which ended in acquittal.

A Greyhound bus flipped over and landed on its side in an Ohio cornfield early on Saturday, injuring more than 30 people, some seriously, authorities said.
The bus was traveling on Interstate 75, when the crash occurred at 3:48 a.m. local time in Liberty Township, about 25 miles north of Cincinnati, said Jeff Galloway, director of the Butler County, Ohio, Emergency Management Agency.
There were 51 passengers plus the driver on board the bus, which was en route from Cincinnati to Detroit, Michigan.
Of the injured, 28 were put into ambulances and six were airlifted to hospitals, Galloway said. None of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening, according to a statement from the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
As of mid-day Saturday, 16 people had been treated and released, said Alexandra Pedrini, a spokeswoman for Greyhound.
Several people were trapped in the bus and had to be extricated by rescue workers, according to the Highway Patrol.
The Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the crash, which authorities said occurred when the bus drove off the right side of the highway, striking a tree and chain link fence, then overturning and sliding to a stop in a corn field.
Galloway said there were no signs that the bus was speeding. "No indication of anything," he said. "That's all under investigation."
The driver, who has worked for Greyhound for 15 years and was among the injured, had been on duty for about an hour before the accident, Pedrini said. She said she could not release the driver's name nor say whether he or she had been involved in any previous accidents.
The bus had passed a federal Department of Transportation-mandated inspection 14 days ago, she said.
"That's something they do every 12,000 miles," she said. "Everything passed. Everything was all good to go. All of the other inspections that the bus had to go through were up to date as well."

Robert Pattinson Gets In Bar Fight With Action Star Protecting Kristen Stewart!
The 'Twilight' star confronts actor Jason Statham after he makes a move on girlfriend Kristen!
It looks like Robert Pattinson is willing to go to any length to protect girlfriend Kristen Stewart — even if it means confronting an action star! US Weekly reports that after actor Jason Statham hit on girlfriend Kristen at an LA bar, Rob stepped in. "Jason is totally jacked and Rob is scrawny," a pal said. "But Rob said, 'I think you've had enough time with her.' They got heated."
Luckily, bouncers stepped in before the situation got out of control.
Jason is dating model and Transformers actress Rosie Huntington Whiteley, who some say may have left the star for Shia LeBeouf.
No matter what the situation, it is good to know Rob is ready to step in and take care of Kristen no matter what!

All amounts are expressed in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
TORONTO, Dec. 10, 2012 /CNW/ - IAMGOLD Corporation ("IAMGOLD" or the "Company") today declared a semi-annual dividend payment in the amount of $0.125 per common share that will be paid on January 7, 2013, to shareholders of record as of the close of trading on December 21 2012. This represents more than a 2% dividend yield based on the average closing value of the Company's common shares over the last 20 days.
IAMGOLD's President and CEO, Steve Letwin said, "We currently have over $2 billion of liquidity from which to fund our dividend. Maintaining our current level of dividend payout reflects our strong balance sheet and our continued confidence in the long-term value of our core mining assets."
For purposes of subsection 89(14) of the Income Tax Act, the Company designates all dividends payable on January 7, 2013 to be eligible dividends.
Forward Looking Statement
This news release contains forward-looking statements. All statements, other than of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future (including, without limitation, statements regarding expected, estimated or planned gold and niobium production, cash costs, margin expansion, capital expenditures and exploration expenditures and statements regarding the estimation of mineral resources, exploration results, potential mineralization, potential mineral resources and mineral reserves) are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of the words "may", "will", "should", "continue", "expect", "anticipate", "outlook", "guidance", "estimate", "believe", "intend", "plan" or "project" or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's ability to control or predict, that may cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, without limitation: changes in the global prices for gold, niobium, copper, silver or certain other commodities (such as diesel, aluminum and electricity); changes in U.S. dollar and other currency exchange rates, interest rates or gold lease rates; risks arising from holding derivative instruments; the level of liquidity and capital resources; access to capital markets, financing and interest rates; mining tax regimes; ability to successfully integrate acquired assets; legislative, political or economic developments in the jurisdictions in which the Company carries on business; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment; employee relations; availability and increasing costs associated with mining inputs and labour; the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; adverse changes in the Company's credit rating; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; and the risks involved in the exploration, development and mining business. With respect to development projects, IAMGOLD's ability to sustain or increase its present levels of gold production is dependent in part on the success of its projects. Risks and unknowns inherent in all projects include the inaccuracy of estimated reserves and resources, metallurgical recoveries, capital and operating costs of such projects, and the future prices for the relevant minerals. Development projects have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future cash flows. The capital expenditures and time required to develop new mines or other projects are considerable, and changes in costs or construction schedules can affect project economics. Actual costs and economic returns may differ materially from IAMGOLD's estimates or IAMGOLD could fail to obtain the governmental approvals necessary for the operation of a project; in either case, the project may not proceed, either on its original timing or at all.
About IAMGOLD
IAMGOLD (www.iamgold.com) is a leading mid-tier gold mining company producing approximately one million ounces annually from five gold mines (including current joint ventures) on three continents. In the Canadian province of Québec, the Company also operates Niobec Inc., which produces more than 4.5 million kilograms of niobium annually, and owns a rare earth element resource close to its niobium mine. IAMGOLD is uniquely positioned with a strong financial position and extensive management and operational expertise. To grow from this strong base, IAMGOLD has a pipeline of development and exploration projects and continues to assess accretive acquisition opportunities. IAMGOLD's growth plans are strategically focused in certain regions in Canada, select countries in South America and Africa.

CryptoLocker is a ransomware program that was released around the beginning of September 2013. This ransomware will encrypt certain files using a mixture of RSA & AES encryption. When it has finished encrypting your files, it will display a CryptoLocker payment program that prompts you to send a ransom of either $100 or $300 in order to decrypt the files. This screen will also display a timer stating that you have 96 hours, or 4 days, to pay the ransom or it will delete your encryption key and you will not have any way to decrypt your files. This ransom must be paid using MoneyPak vouchers or Bitcoins. Once you send the payment and it is verified, the program will decrypt the files that it encrypted.
What has been put together so far.

Andrew Mason will remain CEO of Groupon, a company spokesman said on Thursday after the board of directors decided to retain the company co-founder as head of the struggling online marketer of daily deals. Shares slid Friday as investors seemed disappointed that the company did not bring on a more experienced executive to help turn the company around.
The spokesperson said, "The board and the management team are focused on the performance of the company and they are all working together with heads down to achieve Groupon's objectives." Mason said earlier in the week that if he ever though he wasn't right for the job, he would step down himself.
Investors have grown uneasy about Groupon as fever for daily deals has cooled among consumers and merchants. Europe has been a particular problem as its debt crisis has sapped demand for higher-priced deals and as merchants have balked at steep discounts Groupon had offered there.

Ricoh Aficio MP C5000 Black Drum Replacement Strategy guides
Ricoh Aficio MP C5000 Black Drum Replacement Strategy guides
Ricoh Aficio MP C5000 Black Drum Replacement – Just below are the directions for the drum and developer restoration. Commonly once you begin seeing color blotches or color back grounding it is a indication that the charge grid and cleaning blade are beginning to go bad. Some companies offer for sale PM solutions and products to fix the drum units however with the price tag on these appearing moderately low cost, I would aim towards merely swapping the total unit given it normally takes little technical expertise in contrast to rebuilding it which often can get challenging and dirty.
Note : Majority of print quality problems are related to parts of the drum unit. In most cases, the developer last twice as long as the drum units and unless your really focused on print quality you will rarely notice developer issues until it's extremely low. The steps below included directions for both replacement procedures. Therefore, if you are just replacing the drum unit make sure you don't follow the steps past Note and I would even question the need of doing step 8.
Ricoh Aficio MP C5000 Black Drum Removal

Police pay to start £4,000 lower, at £19,000
The starting salary for police constables in England and Wales is being cut by £4,000 to £19,000, the home secretary has confirmed.
Theresa May has accepted recommendations on reform made by the Police Arbitration Tribunal.
It follows proposals put forward last year in a review for an overhaul of police pay, conditions and allowances.
The Police Federation said it was "disappointed" by the announcement.
The Scottish Ministry of Justice tweeted: "Home Office cuts to police starting salaries will not be imposed in Scotland."
Ex-rail regulator Tom Winsor, the review's author, was appointed last year as the Chief Inspector of Constabulary for England and Wales, the first non-policeman named to the post.
He recommended £1bn could be cut from police pay.
Mrs May has deferred plans to allow forces to make officers redundant to allow for further negotiation.
A special bonus - known as a competence-related threshold payment (CRTP) - will also be phased out over the next three years.
The CRTP - which is worth £1,200 a year - was first mooted for scrapping by the Winsor report in 2011.
The BBC's home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds said the starting salary would be £19,000 for recruits with no policing experience but £22,000 for more experienced officers, such as those who had worked as special constables or PCSOs.
He said the proposals also cut the number of pay scales from 10 to 7, meaning officers could reach the higher pay grade of £36,000 more quickly.
Under the PAT proposals police in London get extra payments of £6,615 a year and those in the south-east of England up to £2,000 because of higher living costs.
Mrs May said: "These reforms build on the changes we implemented [in January last year].
'Modernise pay'
"They continue our programme to modernise... pay and conditions so that they are fair to both officers and the taxpayer. They include measures to re-target pay to reward contribution, increase local flexibility and make important structural changes to enable further reform."
Labour's shadow policing minister, David Hanson, said: "There is a real worry that the proposed starting salary for all police officers will damage the ability of police forces to recruit officers of the right skills and experience and directly contradicts the government's own wish to limit recruitment to those with three A-levels and recruit professional people from outside the police."
The chairman of the Police Federation in England and Wales, Steve Williams, said: "Whilst we remain disappointed with some of the PAT's recommendations we acknowledge that the home secretary has honoured the process of the Police Negotiating Board.
"We will continue to engage fully on behalf of our members."
But Keith Vaz MP, chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said morale in the police force was at "an all-time low" and added: "This is the wrong time to cut the pay of ordinary police officers."
The Association of Chief Police Officers' (Acpo) lead on workforce development, chief constable Peter Fahy, said: "In a service where over 80% of budget is spent on people, it is more vital than ever that we have terms and conditions for all staff that both reward them for what they do and represent value for money.
"Officers can also reach the top rate of pay three years earlier than under the current arrangements."
At the weekend the BBC reported how the number of young police officers in England and Wales had fallen by nearly 50% in two years.
Overall police numbers hit a nine-year low in 2012, due to tighter budget constraints slowing recruitment.
Currently sworn police officers are servants of the Crown, not employees, so they cannot be made redundant.
But some forces have been using a regulation known as A19 to make officers with 30 years experience or more retire early.
The Winsor Report recommended allowing forces to make any police officer redundant, not just those with 30 years experience.
Scotland's Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill said the Scottish government did not commission the Winsor review and he said: "We will not impose changes to the terms and conditions of our hard-working, dedicated officers.
"Starting salaries for our police constables in Scotland will stay the same.
"The police service in Scotland will not be privatised, we will safeguard officer numbers, we will not implement the Winsor package north of the border."
A spokeswoman for Northern Ireland's Department of Justice said: "The announcement by the Home Secretary regarding pay scales will relate to new recruits in England and Wales.
"The minister, the Policing Board and the PSNI routinely consider developments elsewhere in the UK and their potential implications in the context of Northern Ireland. Any proposals relating to pay are negotiated at Police Negotiating Board in the usual way."

Take a look at the first teaser trailer for Killzone Mercenary.
I need this game, it looks amazing
Yep yep I'd buy this day one :) Looking really good!
This needs to be on Youtube, can't watch it on my phone :(
This game looks great and all, and im going off topic...but why does sony refuse to show any gameplay of cod vita? Not only is it going to be the most expensive vita game... but we have seen nothing off it... I don't even like cod.... but thats extremely worrying... You have a better chance of selling cod vita, than bloody bbc dinosaurs
"but why does sony refuse to show any gameplay of cod vita?" That would be because it's not Sony's franchise. That decision is up to Treyarch/Activision.
Declassified footage closed the show.
Haha they have just showed footage dude. Wait till the show is finished next time before complaining.
@ morganfell Yeah... saw it... hopefully it will move some vitas But you can't blame me for facepalming when they mention the game, show no gameplay... and then at the very end show it... I jumped to conclusions my bad Still id pick killzone over cod @garos82 My bad... i was just baffled at that moment... but i watched the whole thing... Note to self: watch the whole thing before i make myself look like a jackass :p
perhaps if you were patient you would have seen the last minute of the show showing gameplay of cod on vita @below. agree it doesnt look that impressive but for a portable console that looks pretty good
Gamescom just ended the trailer with gameplay footage from COD. Frankly, it doesn't even look that impressive.
call of duty looks awful.
What is with all these NEW GAMES? I want more timed exclusive DLC for Third Party games instead!
I wonder who stole this comment from who...
Maybe if you bought all these new games sony wouldn't be going broke right about now.
Dude shut the fuck up. Stop posting the same comment on every article.
Badass, and GG is making it :D
I need this game right now, it's the only FPS franchise i care about.
Yeah, when I heard about the game, I thought Sony might have had someone else do it. Glad it's actually GG.
I need this now!
Game looks nice, I hope melee is the only touch screen gimmick in the game
There shoukd be options to turn gimmicky uses off but it looks to be a key part of the style-score gameplay
Knifing like a boss.
I think this is going to be better than Black Ops Declassified They Actually Showed Gameplay and Black Ops nothing :/
BOD footage closed the show.
Is this a Gear of War Judgement type spin off where it isn't connected to the main branch of games yet still coincides with the universe?
Hey thats a good thing, the killzone story ended with 3 and just trying to milk more out of it would have done harm to the series.. I dig this new direction, I've always wanted a game where you got money for kills and bonuses for advanced kills and then to use that money to buy weapons, armor, upgrades etc.. I know black ops kind of had something like that but you only got money for completing challenges and the unlocks were still level based.. I want to be able to buy anything as soon as I have the money and I'm hoping thats what they are doing here..
Is this one of those comments where an unnecessary comparison is made?
I asked a question if it was a main branch arch or a branching off of the story and I gave a franchise example. I wasn't comparing the two games..
hopefully this will be available soon. if they showed it, does it mean its playable at the conference?
time to buy Vita now, i have no more excuse
I really liked what I saw in these few snippets of actual gameplay. Great atmosphere. Wasn't Cambridge Studio's supposed to develop this game?
Thats what ive heard too. Maybe they are co-developing it
I heard something similar; but one would assume their name would be shown also. Perhaps at a later stage. Anyway, a great looking game so far.
Cambridge has been merged with Guerrilla in the way that they're called Guerrilla Cambridge. They haven't moved to Amsterdam. :)
Fuuuuu.. i cant watch it on my mobile :(
Wait a minute... I AM! F**K YEAH!
I was hoping for a new IP from GG. This will do! Finally, my Vita is not going to catch a break this christmas.
So whats the story behind this game anyone have more info?
They've finally persuaded me to get a Vita, roll on christmas.
EPIC! This game is going 2 be amazing cant wait.
Oh man oh man oh man!
Ahh finlly Sony a EPIC looking FPS.. Really Surprised GG is making it! Beta please!! OK lbp CHECK! Killzone CHECK! AC CHECK! Bright future vita... CHECK!!
"WOW This is On Vita?" Good.
Looks good i hope it plays on ps3 too.
another killzone already?
Now this is one of the reasons I bought the Vita for. Keep the good games coming, I'm already getting LBP next month and that was my most anticipated game yet, now this is it.
My heart was pounding when I saw Guerilla Games logo. It looked like a new IP first. But it looked like a boring new IP. Then a helghast came and it became interesting again.
FINALLY. A game that looks like it utilizes the PS Vita's hard ware and touch screen. AC and LBP look good but this looks much better. After watching the Declassified trailer, I was pretty disgusted. I'd like to remind them that the PS Vita is not a 3DS
Looks waaaaaaay better than COD. In fact, I was disappointed with the COD trailer. Pretty dull graphics and gameplay. This one looks promising.
Getting this and I said before, this looks so much sweeter than COD.
Kind of lame most of the trailer consist of non gameplay. But after seeing the COD trailer, this looks like they cared.Im sorry but that COD trailer was aweful. Anyway, 2 things 1. People say Killzone 2 and 3 looks better than COD games on consoles, but COD wins in sales. Can we see a repeat? 2. Am I alone of wanting another Liberation Killzone game? I hope those swipe touch screen controls are optional. They look horrible.
Finally an epic, beautiful, fps for vita. Resistance burned my ass and Bl Ops looks like pure garbage recycled and regurgitated onto the psp then ported to the vita from the iphone beta version. YEA... Im excited for all the awesome ps games on the way. This, Soul Sacrifice, Rain, TLOU, Beyond Two Souls, sony's on a roll baby!
Storywise this KZ's BO. This game looks tons way better than BO on the vita. It's great to see the brutal melee system back from KZ3 :D
So you don't pick sides, but the actual gameplay showed nothing but killing the Helghast....
Graphics look crazy amazing... Guerrilla Games are simply amazing...
Why isnt this on article on the front page? Killzone Mercenary looks awesome! Only on PS Vita. ;)

Sen. Lindsey Graham ready for big changes on a national level
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (WTGS) - Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is ready for big changes on a national level. He spoke at the "State of the Region" luncheon on Hilton Head Island Wednesday.
Graham touched on a variety of national issues, including health care and cutting corporate tax rates.
The senator says cutting tax rates from 35 to 20 percent for working-class Americans will help grow more jobs.
He also says he's trying to fix the country, which currently has the second-highest corporate tax rate in the world.
"Most Americans do care about their income and the security of their family. So, I told the president we got to deliver on taxes and health care reform. And if we fail as a party, we're dead," he said.
Graham says his alternative to Obamacare gives more power to the states.
He says passing Graham-Cassidy will bring 40 percent more money to South Carolina. He says it also gives those with health care provider issues the chance to fix them by complaining to their governor or state representative.
"And they will listen to you because they're in charge and they need your vote. Under Obamacare, I don't know who you complain to," he said.
The Graham-Cassidy bill is likely to go to a vote by next spring.

Soaring Gas Prices: But no shortage of hot air
There is a growing belief that gasoline prices will hit $5 per gallon this year. The impact on family budgets will be devastating. The inflationary impact goes without question: Trucks transport virtually all of our goods and services to market. Higher fuel costs will be reflected in soaring prices everywhere. The cost of flying will increase, to reflect the higher cost of jet fuel. An increase in oil prices causes the cost of plastics to rise. Our fragile economic recovery may be derailed.
It is 2012. Yet, we remain at the mercy of foreign oil-producing nations. Why?
Many of us today can remember the Arab oil embargo of 1973. The endless lines at gas stations. The promises that foreign energy dependence must end. Now!
In 1973, we were importing 36 percent of our energy consumption, an increase from 22 percent only a few years earlier. Today, nearly 60 percent of the oil consumed in the United States is imported, from Canada, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Venezuela, Nigeria,Iraq, the United Kingdom, Norway, Angola, Algeria and Colombia
The bottom line: The United States is more dependent on imported oil today than ever before.
This despite the 1973 passage and signing of the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act, imposing government regulation to ensure lessening dependence on imported oil. This despite the so-called "Project Independence," intended to free the United States of foreign oil dependence by 1980. 1980! Thirty-two years ago. And we are still waiting.
This despite the creation of the Federal Energy Office in December 1973. And this despite the creation of the Federal Energy Administration in 1974, which became the new federal Department of Energy in 1977. In 2010, the department had a $26 billion budget. Apparently a reward for increasing our energy dependence by at least 24 percent.
On top of that, the oil industry receives $4.4 billion a year in tax credits, and still our situation is worsening, not improving.
There has been an abject failure, both on the part of government and private enterprise, to move this nation closer to energy independence. In point of fact, government involvement has done little but to create a web of conflicting objectives, rules and regulations while spending billions. The failure has greatly increased this nation's vulnerability, particularly in the volatile Middle East.
Ultimately, the fault doesn't rest with the government, and it doesn't rest with the oil companies.
It rests with us: We the People.
It rests with us because we have tolerated this worsening situation for four decades. It rests with us, because we elect the officials who have failed and failed again,while spending tens of billions on no clear solutions.
It rests with us, because We the People are the only ones who can say, with finality: Enough. End the charade. Address the problems. Build the pipelines. Find the energy alternatives. Clear away the environmental restrictions — and provide the tax credits and research funds necessary to find ways to deal with any potential environmental consequences.
We have no one to blame but ourselves for the prices we are paying at the gas pumps. The problem has been obvious for 40 years. The only real question is whether we will continue to allow the situation to worsen — or begin demanding solutions.

Freddie Mac is one of two mortgage giants established by the U.S. federal government to provide liquidity in the secondary mortgage market, along with sister company Fannie Mae (FNM). Freddie buys mortgages from banks and other financial institutions and packages them into bonds called mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which it sells to investors of all sizes. Freddie was structured to play a dominant role in the secondary mortgage market and ensure a steady and reliable supply of funds for U.S. homebuyers. In 2010, Freddie Mac had net interest income of $16.9 billion and a net loss of $14 billion.[1]
Investors' fears were realized when Paulson announced a comprehensive plan to take Freddie and Fannie under "conservatorship", essentially placing the companies under government control and giving the Treasury the right to pump as much as $100 billion into each company, as well as buy a 79.9% share of both Freddie and Fannie.[2]
Freddie Mac is a Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE), a hybridized enterprise endowed with an advantageous set of special privileges. It is a non-bank financial institution created by the U.S. federal government and given a range of special privileges, including exemption from state and local taxes, a $2.25 billion line of credit with the U.S. Treasury, and the implicit backing of the federal government.[3] Freddie Mac's business model is that it earns income from the mortgages it owns, using some of it to pay interest on its mortgage backed securities (MBS); rising default and foreclosure rates, however, meant that more and more of its mortgages weren't generating any income at all, forcing the company to write these mortgages off as losses on its income statement.
The purpose of Freddie Mac is to make it easier for Americans to own a home. Freddie Mac accomplishes this goal by expanding the supply of funds available for mortgages. For example, when a bank lends out a mortgage, it normally has to wait until the loan is repaid before lending the funds out again. Freddie Mac, however, steps in and buys out the mortgage from the bank, allowing the bank to make a second loan sooner; Freddie Mac meanwhile earns the interest from the mortgage. Freddie Mac also sells bonds tied to the mortgages, called mortgage-backed securities. While the mortgage might not be repaid, Fannie Mae guarantees full repayment of its bonds, allowing Fannie Mae to charge a security premium.
Together, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (FRE) hold approximately $5.3 trillion of the $12 trillion total in U.S. residential mortgage.[4] Because of this high concentration, many thought a failure at Fannie Mae would wreak havoc in the residential housing market and the economy as a whole because many other large financial institutions held Fannie Mae bonds. Although the government was not obligated to assist Fannie Mae, the potential mayhem caused by Fannie's demise is what many believe led the to government ensure Fannie Mae's continued viability.
In 2010, Freddie Mac had net interest income of $16.9 billion, a slight decrease from its 2009 net interest income of $17.1 billion.[1] However, despite the decrease in revenues, Freddie Mac was able to decrease its net loss from $21.6 billion in 2009 to $14.0 billion in 2010.[1]
Freddie Mac breaks its business operations into three reportable segments: i) Investments, ii) Single Family Guarantee, and iii) Multifamily. Activities that do not fall under any of the three above segments are categorized as an "All Other" category.
Freddie Mac's Investments segment manages the investments for the broader company, and its roles include debt financing, managing Freddie Mac's interest rate risk, and managing its liquidity and capital positions. It mainly invests in mortgage-related securities and single-family mortgages.
Freddie Mac's Single Family Guarantee segment essentially acts as insurance on single family mortgage related securities. In other words, it guarantees the interest and principal payments on these securities in the event of a default, and earns revenues by charging a premium for this guarantee.
I cpeloetmly agree that data and computation belong in the same physical location (more or less). But where that is remains an open question. Some companies will surely want to place their data (and computation) on premise. Other companies would want to make use of the public cloud. I also think that one company might want to go with both options depending on what data (and computations) we are discussing. Some data is less sensitive. Some computations need a lot of resources during peaks and less or no resources between peaks. And when it comes to transferring large amounts of data to the public cloud I have heard about a really good idea (lost the url though): Put the data on some kind of physical medium (e.g. DVD), send it to the cloud provider using snail mail. Let the provider put the data in place locally inside their data centers. It might save a lot of time (and money) if you need to transfer a huge amount of data.
The Mortgage Bankers Association has since urged the Federal Government to place both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into "receivership", the next step past its current "conservatorship". Right now the government controls 79.9% of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, with 80% being the threshold for placing them on the federal books. Conservatorship is intended for firms that could be restored to health, while receivership is the end-of-the-line liquidation phase. Freddie has also begun lobbying the Treasury to reduce its dividend payments on the preferred shares the Treasury owns.[5] This would help Freddie Mac help pay back some of the funds it owes, and it also allows it to begin restructuring by reducing the amount of preferred shares the government owns.
The Obama administration has yet to reach an agreement on whether the U.S. Treasury should provide guarantees for new mortgages once the market stabilizes.[6] The issue is becoming relatively urgent because of a January deadline for that the Treasury Department must meet with a recommendation for the future of the U.S. housing finance system. Some top experts are in favor of an explicit but limited Federal guarantee of mortgages, while others believe this exposes the government to too much risk. The ultimate recommendation by the Treasury Department may hold significant importance to Freddie Mac's future.
The collapse of the U.S. subprime mortgage market has led to a decreased demand for mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which has hurt Freddie Mac's ability to issue and sell its bonds. With the default rates on adjustable-rate subprime mortgages as high as 8%,[7] the demand for securities backed by these mortgages has turned investors away, since there is a fear the bonds might not be repaid. These MBS's form the base of Freddie's business, as much of its cash flow is generated by revenue from the sale of these bonds. When demand for its bonds falls, the sale price for these bonds fall, putting Freddie Mac in the position of having to either sell the bonds at a lower price or hold onto them until times improve. In the meantime, the securities that Freddie can't or chooses not to sell have seen their values decline as the market demand for them falls.
Freddie Mac's business depends on a steady supply of new mortgages to purchase and repackage into securities; since the slump in the U.S. housing market, this supply has diminished. With fewer mortgages to purchase from banks and lenders, Freddie would see a decrease in the volume of its business for the duration of the slump. In general, downturns in the housing market lead to fewer mortgage originations, which, in turn, leads to fewer mortgages that Freddie can purchase. Additionally, housing slumps often lead to a decline in residential real estate prices, meaning that the properties backing mortgages are worth less; any homes Freddie repossesses will be worth less than before, possibly even less than Freddie paid for the mortgage originally. The same applies in reverse, however. Housing booms lead to higher mortgage originations and higher home prices, all of which can boost Freddie's business.
Because of Freddie Mac's relatively specific purpose and its GSE status, comparisons to other corporations are difficult to make. The best comparison would be to its sister company, Fannie Mae (FNM). Both have similar charters, are similar in size, and both hold status as GSEs.

Man beaten to death in his log cabin in Bat Cave
Man beaten to death in his log cabin in Bat Cave
Henderson County deputies have charged the roommate of a 52-year-old man with beating him to death in the log cabin they shared near Bat Cave.
Investigators said co-workers of Walter Davis found him dead in his home Thursday after he didn't show up for work.
Authorities say it appeared Davis was severely beaten. They are awaiting autopsy results to figure out how long he had been dead.
Deputies started looking for Davis' roommate. When they found 29-year-old Daniel Moore in Fletcher about 12 hours later, investigators say he had personal items that belonged to the victim.
Moore has been charged with first-degree murder. He is being held in the Henderson County jail, and it wasn't clear if he had a lawyer.

Automatic Gearbox Problem - Need advice Help
I have a BMW Z3 1.9, in Automatic. Its a 1998 model.
I have had the problem of the car gearbox clunking when it tries to drop a gear. This used to be intermittent and annoying, but at least the car changed gear. For 4 years (I've owned it for 5.5 years), it was under BMW warranty. They did inspect this problem which i raised on 2 occassions but because it was intermittent never found anything (despite charging me nicely).
Now i have the problem that the car doesnt change gears properly. It'll go 2 one fine, even 2 is not to bad, but to 3 and 4 it doesnt change properly. I've found myself having to do 80mph whilst still in 3rd or possibly 4th.
Today i found myself needing acceleration, putting my foot the floor (doing 80mph) and it would not change. My journey to work if sitting at 80mph means i'm on 5500rpm and i fuel just disappears at a very hungry rate.
A couple of months ago, shooting through the black wall tunnel, the automatic fault light appeared and the car went in to limp mode. BMW checked it out (charged me again) and said nothing was wrong - first error. Since then its happened 2 times more.
I've had various mechanics look at it. Recently had propshaft changed, doughnut changed, transmission fluid changed, headgasket resealed, and the problem still remains.
I'm at a loss now. Tempted to go to BMW but their poor service (and im out of warranty) puts me off. I dont want to pay £300 to be told we dont know what the problem is.
Does anyone have any recommendations? I'm in the Essex/London area and would like to have a specialist check it out and diagnose the fault with the goal of fixing it...
Oh, i have noted on a few occassions that if i pull over on to the hard shoulder, stop the car for a bit and get going, it then changes properly. However this isnt the most practical way of doing things.
It may be worth noting, that slipping the gearstick in to position 1, on the 1,2,3 bit, it wont stay, unless you physically hold in.

Extremely difficult to pinpoint, but I'd suggest>
putting this same question up on other BMW forums incase someone does have direct experience.
However, overall, it sounds like you've got a dodgy gearbox. My initial reaction is to point you to FAB Direct and get yourself a 'new used' gearbox out of a dismantled car.
Other things to consider, maybe take it to one of those places that can check the electronic control unit, seeing as it's intermittent, it could be a software issue? even more mundane it could be a resistor or some part of a circuit has been damaged/melted/snapped off or something causing this 'sometimes' ok sometimes 'not ok' scenario. It could be even more mundane that the gearbox needs a service and cogs, oil, bearings etc etc changed.
I have a 03 530d touring auto, and have noticed on cold start, selecting reverse and then D takes quite a long time - 2-3 seconds, but once warmed up is absolutley fine (probably just needs oil topup) as it's a high miler 160K now, if/when it does give up, I'm just going to bung in a used gearbox from FAB Direct.
This UK board is quite slow in terms of activity, other UK based forums are quicker, however I suggest you post this on the Z3 specific board to increase your chances of a response!
Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Coach Inc. shares jumped 10% to be the second biggest gainer in the S&P 500 on Tuesday, after the upscale handbag designer reported a fiscal third-quarter profit upside and eased concerns about slowing sales growth in North America and China.
However, despite the gain, the New York-based company's US:COH shares still lost more than a quarter of its value in the past year. In comparison, Michael Kors Holdings Corp. KORS, +0.11% repeatedly touted by several analysts on Wall Street as a top rival, rose 3.7% to contribute to its 25% gain in the past 12 months.
As Coach transforms itself from mostly a women's handbag designer to a global lifestyle brand that includes shoes, watches, apparel and men's categories, there were concerns the company's growth would be stemmed by increased competition from labels including Michael Kors, Kate Spade of Fifth & PacificUS:FNP and Tory Burch.
A case in point, same-store sales at Kors in the holiday quarter surged 41%, compared to a 2% decline in North America for Coach. Coach on Tuesday reported sales in the most recent quarter returned to a 1% gain, beating expectations that they may decline. Gross margin also widened instead of expectations for a decline.
"I'm very pleased" with the result, Citigroup analyst Oliver Chen, who rates both Coach and Kors a buy, said in an interview. "This is much better than feared. There was a lot of cautious sentiment because the competitive sentiment has intensified."
Chen said the company beat expectations as it expanded its footwear business from sneakers to such categories as ballet flats and wedges, with the category increasing to 6% of its total sales from 3%. Gross margin, meanwhile, widened as Coach lowered sourcing costs and the growing and more profitable international market lifted margin as well.
Some analysts also said the margin performance proved wrong the expectations that the company may have increased profit-eroding discounts at its factory outlets to drive demand.
"Coupon concerns have been overblown," said Sterne Agee analyst Ike Boruchow, citing management's point that its promotions are strategically planned and targeted.
Head of creative vision leaving
Still, there are concerns the company's transformations are happening at a time of key management changes. Chief Executive Lew Frankfort has said he will step down from that position next year. The company said on Tuesday Executive Creative Director Reed Krakoff is also leaving next year when his contract expires to focus on his own namesake higher-priced luxury brand, for which Coach is exploring options.
Krakoff's 16-year tenure as head of Coach's creative vision has repeatedly been cited as instrumental in helping to transform Coach from a dowdy traditional American handbag brand to a hip, modern, accessible-luxury line.
"We are concerned that key members of (Coach) are leaving at a crucial time for the company," said Jefferies & Co. analyst Randal Konik, who rates the stock a hold.
In response to concern about Krakoff's leaving, Frankfort said on a conference call the company has a strong creative team in place and said it expects the transition to be seamless.
Citigroup's Chen said he viewed Krakoff's leaving as positive as it erases fear that he could be distracted by cultivating his own brand.
Analysts in the bull camp for Coach, such as Chen, also said they saw opportunities for growth in market share for both Coach and Kors as they take share away from smaller, private-label brands.
"We see COH defending its leading market share from competitors," said S&P Capital IQ analyst Jason Asaeda. As an example, he said Coach's North American sales in the most recent quarter rose 7%, in line with the "high-single-digit" gain the company saw in the North American women's market.
While there were also worries the company's key growth market in China may be threatened by the government's crackdown on corruption, Coach posted a 40% growth in the country with same-store sales rising at least 10%. Meanwhile, as expected, its Japanese growth was hurt by a weaker yen that lowered translated sales from its second largest market. Fiscal third-quarter constant-dollar Japanese sales were flat but fell 14% after factoring in the yen impact.
"China continues to be very good," Chen said. Coach has "a lot of opportunities ahead."

Fresh peach season is quickly fizzling out. Thank goodness I've made my year's supply of Spiced Peach-Ginger jam. I had a few peaches left and I debated on what to make with them. I always love a good peach cobbler. Buuuuuuuuuuut, Pinterest reeled me in to make this recipe.
Peach and cream cheese? Um, yeah! In an unusual twist, for me, this recipe uses a boxed Yellow Cake Mix. (Do I hear hissing?) I know, I know... I'm usually a big fan of making scratch cakes. Once in a while, though, I'll reach for a box of Duncan Hines Cake mixes. Gotta love 'em for their convenience-- like when you're going to a dinner-- and you offer to bring dessert and realize that work has drained most of your energy.
The recipe also used canned peaches. I didn't have any, so I improvised and lightly poached some peeled, fresh sliced peaches in some water. Since I had a jar of Vanilla Bean Paste, I decided to add a teaspoon to the mix, and then tossed in a cinnamon stick. Why not? It sort of made up for my cake mix short cut, right?
TASTING NOTES: My own opinion-- this is super sweet. The rest of my guests liked this dessert, but it is also very rich. A little goes a long way. I think some lightly sweetened whipped cream would be perfect on top. I would make this again, and I'll try using some cherry pie filling-- however, I'm going to try making this Yellow Cake Mix, from scratch.
For a potluck, it's an easy dessert to make. It'll definitely scratch that sweet tooth itch, too.
So, is it too late in the season to post a Strawberry-Rhubarb crisp recipe that I made? I can't believe that Fall is almost here!

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska couple chose an unusual venue for their wedding: the largest cemetery in Omaha.
Janyl Jumadinova and Oliver Bonham-Carter exchanged vows Saturday in Forest Lawn Cemetery. They were surrounded by family, friends and more than 100,000 souls buried in the 349-acre cemetery.
The bride, who is from Kyrgyzstan, said her culture holds a firm belief in spirits. Some of the groom's ancestors are buried in the cemetery, the Omaha World-Herald (http://bit.ly/1nQEe9W ) reported.
"It's not at all creepy," Bonham-Carter said. "We have thousands of witnesses — both alive and dead!"
The couple married earlier this year in a small ceremony in Pennsylvania, but they wanted to hold another wedding so friends and family could bear witness. Relatives of the couple traveled more than 6,000 miles from three different continents to attend.
The ceremony took place in an ornate 101-year-old chapel decorated with granite, marble, brass, stained glass and mosaic tiles. It was designed by John McDonald, an Omaha architect who helped construct Joslyn Castle and the Joslyn Art Museum with his son Alan.
McDonald, his wife and son are interred in the walls of his Forest Lawn Cemetery chapel.

Madness is sweeping the galaxy. Or – more accurately – madness is drawing a straight line through the galaxy. Can Kirk, Spock and McCoy stop it without killing a million people? Find out when we put "Operation: Annihilate!" in the Mission Log!
Mission Log #29 – Episode 029 – Operation: Annihilate!
@Tausif Khan on – they indeed did tell us that this episode ended the first season.
Speaking of Kirk's non-lamented family, what happened to Sam's other two sons? In "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" we first learn that Kirk has a brother – from another doppelganger I might add – and he states that he has a wife and 3 sons. What did Sam do sell two to pay his way to Deneva?
How about telling the listeners of the podcast that this episode marks the end of the shows first season?
The creatures on the doorframe freaked me out so much as a kid that I hated going though my own front hall for many years afterwards (there was a doorframe without a door before the main door). And it's always been a striking image that stayed with me.
And it's Constitution Class. Enterprise-D is Galaxy Class. Picard's old ship the Stargazer was Constellation Class.
You described the Enterprise as the flagship of the Federation. It absolutely wasn't. In TNG, yes, the Enterprise-D was considered the flagship (colloquially, obviously, since it rarely had any Admirals aboard), but that was largely based on the reputation that Kirk's Enterprise would earn in retrospect. During the run of TOS, the Enterprise was never treated as being anything special, beyond the accomplishments of the crew itself.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. A typical memorial service isnt filled with people wearing soccer jerseys or Liverpool Football Club scarves. Michael Jones, however, was anything but typical to the people whose lives he touched during his 25 years.
He was always smiling, laughing and joking, said John Birchall, a close friend of Jones. Just such a fun guy to be around all the time.
A somber service was held at First Baptist Church in White Plains Tuesday to remember the 25-year old Harrison resident who was murdered in New York City early Sunday morning. Jones, who was originally from Liverpool, England, was a former coach with The New York Red Bulls Youth Training Program and the Armonk United Soccer Team. He was remembered by hundreds of friends and loved ones, including the parents and children who he coached over the years. Many in attendance wore Red Bulls jerseys with Jones' nickname Jonesy on the back.
Cathryn Kaehr, a mother whose son was coached by Jones on the Armonk club team, remembered the effect Jones had on the children he coached.
I remember talking with him sometimes just before games and he would look at his watch and then run away and say I only have a few more minutes to change their lives, Kaehr said. That was his goal.
Kaehr said Jones was more than just a coach to her family, as he would frequently come over to watch his beloved Liverpool team's games with her husband, who is a fan of rival Chelsea.
Police said they have not determined a motive in Jones murder. Orlando Orea, a suspect named by the New York City Police Department, fled the country to Mexico Tuesday before he could be apprehended by authorities, several published reports said.
Birchall, still in shock from the news of losing his friend, spoke of the importance of not taking life for granted.
Your loved ones, even if youre having a fight or something, its so important to tell them how much they mean to you, Birchall said.
Kaehr said Jones legacy will continue.
I know every time my son takes the soccer field now, hell have a special angel watching over him, she said.

Ryan White & ACA: A Client Navigates the Health Insurance Marketplace
Michelle has new health insurance at a premium she can afford. Her HIV drugs, however? On her salary? Impossible. And where does she go for care?
The story below offers a peek into the world of Ryan White clients and front-line staff across the nation—the challenges and solutions they have in managing transitions to new Affordable Care Act coverage. Their issues are straightforward. Where do I get good care and how much will it cost?
Those simple goals run up against the health insurance marketplace, byzantine long before "Obamacare" came about, presenting challenges beyond all-important concerns over tiered access to HIV medications.
Just ask any service worker or small businessperson without the comfort of group coverage. You are navigating along a rocky coastline, although dramatically less so with Affordable Care Act provisions like standard of coverage in the form of Essential Health Benefits and prohibitions on preexisting condition exclusions.
Motivated Consumer, Complex World
Let's look at how Michelle (not her real name) got to where she is today. She lives in a state that is not expanding Medicaid eligibility. Nonetheless, she's in the marketplace given her income. Participation by people like her creates a larger pool of insured individuals that is essential for ACA success.
Since becoming infected several years ago, Michelle has relied upon Ryan White as her only affordable—and available—option. She earns enough to qualify for tax credit/subsidy support in a silver ACA plan and heard about new Affordable Care Act insurance options. She picked a plan after talking to a coworker but didn't seek input from her Ryan White provider.
Michelle faced the following challenges:
- Her HIV medication co-pays will increase tenfold above the $15 a month her Ryan White coverage provides
- She'll have to go to a specialty pharmacy that's not in a convenient location
- And she has to find a new primary care team, as her Ryan White clinic isn't part of the HMO plan she chose
One more thing. Michelle has signed up and needs help with co-pays or help in picking another plan that's going to be more affordable and convenient. Oh yeah. Michelle needs to act fast as her plan start date has arrived, although she's been told that (in her state) she can still switch during open enrollment as long as she doesn't pay the premium.
Removing Roadblocks
Michelle has been laser-beam focused on staying in care. She has been asking people for guidance and answers and even contacted us via this site's Help Desk—a service normally involved with grantee matters—luckily, right after our technical glitch of errant messages was corrected. She is going to stay in care.
She is pursuing the "gold standard" of the HIV/AIDS Continuum of Care of fully engaging in care to maximize individual health and stem the further spread of HIV, according to Tom Donohoe of ULCA and Pacific AETC network, who works with providers on learning about ACA implementation issues for clients (see sidebar case studies).
Why does such a highly motivated Ryan White client face so many complexities in transitioning to new coverage? The question is moot in terms of who Michelle did or did not consult, who among the army of part-time and quickly trained enrollment assisters absorbed the details of her new coverage and the advantages/challenges she faced, and what phone calls went unanswered. Let's talk solutions, gathered from people across the Ryan White Community.
Help with Drug Co-Pays
In response to the Help Desk's request, the state's ADAP coordinator came back in less than 24 hours with a name and phone number of a clinic that is managing enrollment into medication assistance in Michelle's area. Getting lined up for co-pay help will require her to travel many miles to sign up at the clinic.
Michelle is not expecting to be pampered.She's has a car and has an appointment to sign up. She's already in the system at the clinic, having gone there for a special procedure in the past. Most ADAPs are positioned to help clients with insurance costs.
Additional help is available from drug companies, according to HIV/AIDS advocates, who report that almost all pharmaceutical firms are offering co-pay assistance to individuals with marketplace plans. A potential glitch, however, is that some insurance firms, in a small number of states, are reportedly resistant to accepting payment of premiums from third parties such as ADAPs on behalf of low-income persons, contrary to longstanding HRSA guidance and a clarifying set of FAQs.
Making the Transition to New Coverage
Ryan White clients who are transitioning to individual marketplace or Medicaid coverage need to, first and foremost, make sure they have an ample supply of HIV/AIDS medications until their new coverage kicks in.
These are important reads, based on the experience of a Ryan White clinic, reporting that "some of our most compliant clients have run out of their meds with the new insurance because of barriers with payment and miscommunication from the insurance companies. We have a staff member dedicated to insurance assistance and she never misses a beat." Surely, many Ryan White clinics are doing the same.
Accessing Ryan White Help
Ryan White benefits counselors, case managers, and other staff members are the key gatekeepers for Ryan White clients. Michelle's enthusiasm and her clinic's enrollment assisters somehow crossed signals but are now in sync. They are exploring her options for sticking with the plan she selected or switching to one that would allow her to remain with her current HIV clinic.
Key issues in Michelle's case:
- Are the HMO and PPO benefits comparable?
- What about the costs?
- Can her Ryan White clinic line her up with HIV expertise in the HMO?
The Bottom Line: Ryan White clients should turn to their Ryan White care teams for guidance.
Some states have even cross-walked which Ryan White agencies are in plan networks so that patients and providers will know where a patient can receive care, including access to HIV expertise.
Changing Your Mind
What if, like Michelle, you picked a plan and then changed your mind during the open enrollment period? This should not be a problem if your coverage has not yet become effective.
But it becomes complicated after that, according to Malinda Ellwood of the Harvard Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation, pointing to provisions that changes after effective dates are usually allowable only if you qualify for a special enrollment period, regardless of whether open enrollment is ongoing.
However, recent guidance from CMS now allows people who obtain coverage in federally facilitated and state partnership marketplaces and who have paid their first months premium to change to another plan under certain conditions, even if their plans have already gone effect.
To do so the following conditions must be met:
- The person must change to another plan offered by the same issuer
- The new plan is at the same metal level and cost-sharing reduction level (i.e., in Michelle's case a silver plan at the same AV value)
- The change is made in order to move to a plan with a more inclusive provider network (or potentially other circumstances as allowed by CMS)
- The change is requested within the open enrollment period
Michelle would contact her issuer directly to do this.
Additional exceptions may be available in circumstances where information provided on HealthCare.gov or by the plan itself was inaccurate. Individuals in this situation should contact HealthCare.gov.
Once open enrollment is over, in general individuals cannot change health plans unless they experience a particular "qualifying event" triggering a "special enrollment period" (e.g., if you have a child or become divorced, or your eligibility for premium tax credits changes because your income goes up or down). More information about qualifying events can be found on HealthCare.gov.
Changing circumstances clearly are not unusual in this new marketplace as CMS issued new guidance on conditions for making a switch. Added Ellwood, individual states may have add other qualifying events that allow individuals to qualify for special enrollment periods. A cautionary note: simply failing to pay premiums during the year as a way of being able to pick a different plan will not be considered as a qualifying event.
