I noticed you had published Animate Me, and I was really hoping you would publish Work of Art.

I don't know if you remember me, but I was one of your first avid readers and promoters of WOA in the fandom! If I recall, I even set up a forum for this story which was a first for me and something I have never done again for any other story. I was (still am) that passionate about WOA.

I can't wait to get started reading this published work with new character names so... Off I go!

Congrats on your successes!

Even on Wall Street, there's no such thing as a free lunch. But there are free fancy dinners.
Most junior bankers on Wall Street are allowed a $25 meal stipend when working extra hours, but instead of a ham sandwich from the local deli, many are tricking employers into footing the bill for more extravagant eats, Fast Company reports (h/t The Jane Dough). Using an online ordering site, Wall Street employees have reportedly found a number of ways to order gourmet meals that include $90 lobster dinners and the some of the Financial District's finest sushi, according to anonymous bankers.
"Abuse of the system was rampant," a Morgan Stanley staffer told Fast Company. "I added up how much I ordered in my first year: It was more than $3,000 of food."
Of course, if true, this would be one of the less severe forms of abuse that Wall Street has been accused of in recent years. Take, for example, that Senate report that accused Goldman Sachs of selling clients products it knew to be junk and then betting against those same products -- probably a tad worse.
Stealing a basic necessity like food might seem especially odd in an industry famous for such high pay. But the idea of maximizing personal profits not only fits in with Wall Street's culture, it also reflects general attitudes of the rich, according to a recent study. Research found wealthy people were more likely to act unethically compared to the less fortunate, and even more likely to steal candy from children. It also found that the wealthy engaged in unethical behavior at work more often than poorer workers.
Theft at the workplace is hardly uncommon, however. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, 75 percent of employees steal from work in some way. Scamming increased vacation time is an especially popular tactic, particularly among school workers. Since 2010, there have been at least two cases where an employee faked the death of a relative for some extra days off.
But employees steal from each other, too: 100 percent of workers polled in a recent study said that at one time or another they had stolen a co-workers pen, with 22 percent saying they did so on purpose. While that's surely an exaggeration, it should make you more fearful of the pen-snatchers around you.

Will tax cuts get the ax?
Once President Bush signs the Republican-backed Medicare and prescription drug bill into law, he will have helped erect the largest obstacle to the conservative tax cut platform to date. With the President supporting a burgeoning health care spending agenda that was unthinkable just a few years ago, will it force his tax agenda to end up on the cutting room floor?
A look at the numbers shows just how serious a question this has become. The proposed bill will immediately result in the biggest expansion of unfunded entitlements since the Great Society programs of Lyndon Johnson over 40 years ago. That's not the worst of it: The projected 10-year, $400 billion in outlays the bill calls for are only the beginning. In strikingly candid remarks to the Boston Globe, Ted Kennedy acknowledged as much, and vowed to use it as a base for further increases. "This [Medicare bill] is only a down payment. Hopefully, we can use this down payment in an effort to fulfill our responsibility to seniors over the years," said Kennedy. Current trends favor Kennedy's stance. Since Medicare's recipient population is expected to double once the baby boomers retire, conditions for increased spending will be well nigh inescapable.
To give some historical perspective, in 1965 Medicare's projected annual cost was only said to be $10 billion. Today, Medicare costs a whopping $244 billion a year. The projection was erroneous by a full 2,440%–far beyond any mistake government economists anticipated in the 1960s. Why such incredible myopia? The accumulated wisdom of economists and tax policy experts show that legislative moves to increase entitlements are the key problem. As the Congressional Budget Office noted in its "Historical Budget Data" report, entitlements in 1962 accounted for only 32% of government spending. But today, entitlements make up nearly 60% of all outlays.
"Government cannot control how much is spent," say economists Brian M. Riedl and William W. Beach of the Thomas A. Roe Institute for Economic Policy and Studies and the Heritage Foundation. That's because lawmakers' prerogatives are limited. They can only set eligibility requirements and benefit levels, not actual dollar amounts. This "leav[es] the program's cost [to be] determined by however many eligible individuals enroll in the program," the economists say.
According to the Riedl and Beach, Medicare alone will cause the current budget deficit of $455 billion to increase to $5 trillion by 2030. By 2025, Medicare will account for 3% of GDP. That's $325 billion measured against the country's current economic output. This seems likely to cripple any efforts to extend tax cuts–now, and indefinitely into the future. Take Clinton adviser James Carville on point, whose vehemence on tax cuts points up how determined Democrats are to torpedo them. Calling Bush's tax policy an "idiotic and stupid tax cut for the rich," Carville asks rhetorically, "Remember when this country used to run a surplus? I do, three years ago."–a sentiment that is shared by Democrats and routinely sets them afire in their opposition.
New York Times columnist Paul Krugman accuses the Bush administration of fudging deficit numbers to push through tax cuts. Recently he wrote, "Realistic budget numbers would have undermined the case for tax cuts. So budget analysts were pressured to high-ball estimates of future revenues and low-ball estimates of future expenditures."
Krugman has a point, though, which Democrats will ride politically, spelling trouble for the Republican Party. If the budget deficit continues to grow at record levels, it will be extremely difficult for Republicans to pass tax cuts. President Bush's persistence to add a prescription drug plan to Medicare will only exacerbate the deficit and add fuel to the Democrats' relentless attacks on Republicans' being fiscally irresponsible. Like clockwork, Democrats have religiously attacked President Bush's 2001 and 2003 tax cut, and it is naïve to think that these attacks will mollify in the future with rising deficit spending on social programs.
Since President Bush signed into law the third largest tax cut in American history–reducing the capital gains tax by 25% and reducing dividend taxes by 68%–at least 175 companies have increased dividend payments or have issued dividends for the very first time. According to the American Shareholders Association, dividend payments increased by 30% above 2002 levels.
Nonetheless, Democrats in cultic consonance will blame the vast deficits as a result of slashing tax rates; the economic growth spurred by Bush's tax cuts will be overshadowed, just as Reagan's successful tax cuts have fallen victim to historical revisionism. Even though Reagan's tax cuts resulted in the federal government collecting more money than any other previous administration in history had done, Democrats pin those deficit years–simply resulting from too much spending–on tax cuts.
Over the next 30 years, the number of Medicare beneficiaries will rise from 40 million to 80 million. Bush's new prescription drug legislation would only compound Medicare's economic woes. Riedl and Beach believe that the Medicare and prescription drug shortfall will be $525 billion by 2030.
It's a fair bet that, thirty years hence, politicians will refuse to defund the program at that time. They will resist higher premiums for seniors to cover costs, and will instead force taxpayers to pick up the tab. At present, part of the 7.65% payroll tax is supposed to fund Medicare. But the federal government would need to increase the payroll tax by at least 100% to pay for this prescription drug program.
Put in different terms, a baby born today inherits a Medicare debt of $2,855. This new prescription drug plan adds another $1,125, bringing the total burden we would place on newborn Americans to almost $4,000. President Bush is thereby setting the stage to make it difficult for the next Republican President to campaign on a tax cuts platform or even push tax cuts through Congress.
In a similar vein, the General Accounting Office released a study that states the current social security program if left alone will result in "persistent, escalating federal deficits, significant tax increases, and/or dramatic budget cuts of unprecedented magnitude." Brad Smith, a 20-yearold junior at Harvard University, testified before the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging beseeching the Congress to remedy future Social Security shortfalls. Smith said that his generation will only be able to "receive 75% of the benefits retirees today receive." To reiterate the point, newborns entering the world today are given a $4,000 gift of debt, and today's young adults will not be reaping the social security benefits they are currently sowing in taxes–a travesty that will escalate further with the increasing number of seniors.
Democrats have already shown their cards in the 2000 and 2002 elections; political class warfare should be expected, which means Republicans should not be passing legislation that will produce massive deficits that will aid liberal anti-tax-cut talking points.
Indeed, the likely liberal talking points for 2008 and 2010, when occasion arises to reconsider respectively the 15% tax rate on dividends and capital gains and the bulk comes up of the 2001 tax cuts, are that continuing tax cuts will cost billions–billions that should be directed toward the very unfunded mandates that Bush's Medicare and prescription drug bill is poised to create.
Allowing the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts to expire will hit taxpayers with a $775 billion tax increase, according to the Office of Management and Budget. At that point, further tax cuts would seem extremely unlikely, and goals like the flat tax or a national sales tax system would be reduced to pipe dreams of a bygone era.
As Americans for Tax Reform president Grover Norquist commented July 11 on National Review Online, the day of year by which the average American finishes paying his share of government's cost has crept increasingly later year-by-year–from July 6, 2002, to July 11, 2003. That date "falls five days later in 2003 than it did in 2002, and it is now at its highest level since 1993," wrote Norquist. With Bush championing a $170 billion Farm bill, $26.5 billion Education bill, and now a $400 billion prescription drug bill, the "cost of government day" will surely creep later into the year, the deficits will be sure to soar, and the lifeblood of the Republican party–tax cuts–may be poisoned for years to come.

Joesph is amazing. The ring is amazing. Thank you Joesph for giving me the exact engagement ring I wanted to present to my wife. From our very first meeting that he spent lot of time to explain how to choose a fine diamond and which ring set should i choose, i felt so comfortable with the service. The design and production process has been noticed to me and i knew what steps we are. It's obvious that Joseph is extremely experienced in this field and his passion, joy and positive attitude makes purchasing much easier. I highly recommend him to everyone.

An amazing journey from beginning to end. Joseph not only personally handcrafted a unique, gorgeous engagement ring, he also took the time to ensure that I was well informed about the intricacies of gemstone and band selection. I'd have no hesitation recommending Joseph George to family and friends.

I was very nervous to begin my search for the perfect ring for my partner. After meeting Joseph I was comfortable and confident that he was the one to design the ring I was looking for. He covered every aspect possible in the process to design and craft the ring which was a exciting experience. The end product was flawless. The fiancée is one happy lady! Overall, I would highly recommend Joseph to anyone who is looking for an engagement ring, wedding rings and any sort jewellery alterations. Will be returning to Joseph for any jewellery needs in the future. Thanks Joseph!

Joseph is a true gentleman and artisan of his trade. He happily walked us through the process of picking the right diamond and guiding us within our budget. We live interstate from Jospeh however this did not feel like a barrier to the process of designing wedding bands etc. We'll be getting many items through Joseph for years to come!

... similar drugs; i.e., Fosamax, Boniva, Actonel, etc., for more than 5 consecutive years. I've been on these meds for 17 consecutive years and, after the seminar, have stopped taking my once-a-month ibandronate. During the Q&A segment, she did mention Denosumab and Teriparapeptide, but gave no info about them. Should I just not take any rx med at all now -- I'm 73 -- and just continue with only my Vit. D/Calcium supplements? I will see my ob/gyn in Oct.; she's the one prescribing for me. I apologize if this has been addressed elsewhere in this forum, but I just found the forum today. Thanks!

I think we've touched on the 5 yr thing but not the other medications. Denosumab is a monoclonal antibody and is very expensive. It is used for people with metastatic cancer to the bones. The other, teriparatide, is parathyroid. It is daily shots. I don't know too many people going to embrace that. I would think it best if you talk to your gyne about it. I'm hearing things now that they're questioning if fossamax and those even help.

Hey everyone! Long time, no blog! Re: my last blog entry about our upcoming family changes, we have turned in our first round of paperwork today and finishing up our remaining classes this month as prospective foster parents. We would appreciate your continued prayer and support. Stay tuned on the blog for more updates as we get them!
In the meantime, I had a few thoughts that I wanted to contribute concerning the topic of worship. As much as I lead worship, you'd think these kind of thoughts would be overflowing, but they aren't really. But one of the things that is (rightfully) getting talked about more and more in the worship blog "scene" is the idea worship leadership as a form of pastoral ministry. So, I thought I would add my thoughts to the pile and share a little bit of my heart concerning this topic.
Worship Leaders Aren't Just Musicians/Singers
… Or at least they shouldn't be. There are so many gifted musicians in Christ's church, and as I have discussed elsewhere, I believe God has uniquely given the church music as an important means of worship because of how it helps draw out our emotions (which is a good thing) and stir our affections for God. At Tomball Bible, we are blessed with some extraordinarily talented youth who are playing the music at their youth services and events. But, one of things I try and impress upon these young worshipers is that, for those of us called into worship leadership, God doesn't just want amazing musicians and singers who love him. He wants that for sure. But that's just step one. There's so much more to leading others in worship than just loving God and loving to play music.
You can check out these awesome students who totally get what it is about and are making great strides as worshipers and leaders. Super proud of them.
Worship Leader, You are a Shepherd
I believe all worship leaders are shepherds, whether they see that or not. In most worship settings, other than the person preaching, the most visible individual and present voice is that of the person leading the music. That is a game-changer when you think about it. So, for those of us in vocational ministry, many of us already carry the title of "Worship Pastor" and therefore some type of shepherding/pastoral ministry is assumed or expected. But many of the people who stand up and lead the congregational singing for their churches week in and week out do not have any sort of pastoral title and may not even have any pastoral expectations placed upon them, depending on the size of the church, how the leadership views the position, etc.
Make no mistake, even if you don't have the title, you should view what you are doing as a type of shepherding. You may not visit people in the hospital (you should). You may not have to open your home every week to people in your church to open the Word and pray together (you should). You may not have to go to meetings concerning the direction of the church or its finances (maybe a good thing!). But you had better view your job on that stage as more than just getting people to sing along to your well-executed covers of other people's songs to God.
Music as a Shepherding Tool for Ministry
This fact was no more clear to me than when–about 18 months ago–I was asked to lead the music for the funeral of a still-born child. The parents of the child and I had never even talked. I knew who they were but had never met them personally. Yet they trusted me. They wanted me, a familiar spiritual voice, to be one of the people who shepherded them through this traumatic event.
And let me tell you, it doesn't matter how many awesome new, atmospheric worship songs you can flawlessly execute at that point. You are learning Keith Green songs and old hymns you've never played before in your life and may never play again. You are pulling out the one suit you own and taking it to dry cleaners. You are doing everything in your power to make sure the needs and desires of this poor, hurting couple in your care are being met. Because though you don't know them and though you can't even begin to understand the level ache and hurt they are experiencing, you know that they trust your leadership. They are sheep in your care. You are a shepherd. And the songs that you sing and they way you lead in that moment will have profound significance in their life.
First Things First
So for current and aspiring worship leaders reading this, I would encourage you in the midst the pressure be creative and play skillfully, don't forget that most of the people in your congregations on a given Sunday aren't looking for you to nail that guitar lick or hit that note perfectly. They are wanting to know that you are caring for them. They want to know that you are thinking about how best to lead them as a congregation, not just playing the songs you like. By all means, play skillfully. Be creative. But be a shepherd first.

Taipei, Oct. 10 (CNA) President Tsai Ing-wen's (蔡英文) remarks on cross-Taiwan Strait ties in her National Day speech Tuesday were designed to tell Beijing again that her repeated commitment to maintaining the cross-strait status quo has not changed, a Taiwanese scholar said that day.Peng Huei-en (彭懷恩), a part-time visiting professor at Shih Hsin University's Department of Journalism, said that as a veteran in handling cross-strait relations, Tsai was careful not to make her remarks provocative but to make them acceptable for all parties concerned."Tsai wants to demonstrate again to Beijing that her position on cross-strait relations has not changed in the wake of Premier Lai Ching-te's (賴清德) recent remarks on his personal position in support of Taiwan independence," Peng said.In her speech, Tsai reiterated her position that "our goodwill will not change, our commitments will not change, we will not revert to the old path of confrontation, and we will not bow to pressure.""This has been my consistent position on cross-strait relations," Tsai said.On Sept. 26, when delivering his first administrative report to the Legislature, Lai said his status as a "pro-Taiwan independence politician" would remain unchanged, regardless of his office, and that it was not antithetical to his "pro-China, loving Taiwan" stance.

Meet Franklin College Alumna Sheila Moore
A Franklin chemistry professor, the late Tom Hodge, used to reprimand Sheila Moore '76 for tasting the chemicals she handled during class experiments. He warned her of the risks, but Moore used taste as a way of memorizing and recalling each chemical's distinct properties. It was a process she developed instinctually and one that carried over to her graduate school studies at Miami of Ohio University, where another observant professor told her she should consider a career in the then-mysterious "flavor world."
"I didn't even know the flavor world existed," recalled Moore. "I don't think a lot of chemists know about it even today, but it's a highly technical, lucrative industry with several thousand employees worldwide and several hundred in the U.S."
Those who work in the flavor world focus on helping food and beverage manufacturers customize the taste of their products and also may be involved in manipulating the texture, appearance and aroma.
When Moore pursued her chemistry degree in the '70s, there were few other women taking the same college courses and none working in research and development at her first employer. Most women were hired for secretarial positions, and that's how she got her foot in the door.
"In my early career. I was everybody's daughter, sister or granddaughter. They were more inclined to try and hug me or touch my hair than trade a handshake," recalled Moore.
Occasionally, she thought back to her tutelage under Hodge at Franklin for encouragement.
"His classes were demanding, and sometimes I thought he was pushing too hard, but later I realized he helped teach me how to approach my work with logic and persistence and to speak up," said Moore.
All of the hard lessons paid off at her first job. She was promoted from sales to project management within six months after demonstrating her knack for meeting clients' product expectations. The promotion enabled her involvement in making food dyes for Kool-Aid and JELL-O.
"My science background was very helpful in sales because I understood what kind of technical questions to ask our clients about their wants and needs and knew how to relay that information back to the R&D (research and development) people. I could speak both of their languages," recalled Moore.
An important distinction between flavor sellers like Moore and sales people in some other industries is that rather than commodities they offer intellectual property.
"I pilot and pitch ideas to clients," said Moore. During phase one, clients have the chance to accept or modify the idea; phase two usually involves taste-testing. There's always a risk that Moore's ideas could be stolen so clients must sign secrecy agreements. If a concept succeeds in phase two, Moore stays involved in marketing, research and development work but relies on a contract packer to manage production and quality control.
Several of Moore's flavor inventions have catapulted mainstream products you may recognize. They include Bubble Tape Bubble Gum, Go-Gurt freeze and thaw yogurt, Gatorade Orange, Newman's Own salad dressings and McDonald's Cinnamon Melts. She also was part of a Kraft Foods team involved in creating the first-ever six-packs of yogurt to hit the marketplace and in launching fat-free ice creams and salad dressings.
In spite of the lengthy list of high-profile accomplishments, Moore said her proudest achievement is starting her own business, Moore's Food Resources, L.L.C., of which she is president and owner since 1997. For most of its history, her company's focus has been on securing new product development contracts with food manufacturers, but this year marks a new milestone as she prepares to roll out her own line of frozen foods, beginning with waffles made from beets.
You won't see these waffles at your local grocery store; they're made for the food-service industry. That means Moore's waffles will show up on restaurant menus across the nation; they may be offered as breakfast fare or desserts, depending on the restaurant's needs.
She is working to get her line of waffles trademarked and copyrighted to bear her company name, but consumers will likely have no idea who made them.
"It's standard for products that restaurants use to be packaged simply, in boxes with a best-by date, lot number, product weight and ingredient list. Food-service providers don't want their competitors to know where their products are purchased," explained Moore.
What consumers should notice, however, is the waffles' distinct red color, thanks to beets, the main ingredient. Her waffles have been three years in the making and contain fewer than 10 ingredients; Moore made a strong effort to create a farm-to-table product.
"Restaurant chains are changing to more foods made from sustainable ingredients, and that's because millennials are driving it. They demand the best quality with the least harm to the environment and animals," said Moore. "And, that's always been important to me."
Given the impact of millennials on the industry, Moore was delighted when Franklin sociology professor Jason Jimerson, Ph.D., whom she met at a Grizzlies' alumni event in her hometown Chicago, invited her to speak about her career this spring to one of his classes. Moore used the opportunity to engage the students in a blind taste-test. The students documented their opinions about the flavor, texture and color of her product vs. current popular brands.
"The results were similar to other taste-tests," said Moore. "The students favored my beet waffles for taste and texture." She noted that in taste-tests at various other locations, children most often chose the red waffles over any other possible colors.
While Moore has finished significant work on her product invention, she remains busy with production details, including collaborating with a manufacturer on two versions of the waffle and partnering with another manufacturer on a snack-cake product. Her involvement also includes finding sources for the best flour at the best prices, building partnerships with beet growers, determining the most cost-effective ways to transport the product and on the list goes.
Networking is a key to the success of her business.
"I value intelligence in people. I try to build relationships with people who know more about specific subjects than I do. I belong to several key organizations in the food industry. I also read numerous trade journals and take leadership courses online," said Moore.
She also reaches out to chefs at restaurant chains and asks to talk with them about trends and observations.
"I think of myself as a wheel radiating with spokes, and I seek to find new spokes in niche areas that can help make all the parts of the whole even stronger," said Moore.
She added, "Having a liberal arts background brings balance to my career; it gives me an ability to see things from multiple perspectives, which is so important in the business world. On a personal level, it helps me understand how history recycles itself and impacts politics, religion and social issues around the world. The liberal arts help us understand all the parts and how they correlate to the big pictures."

DOWNLOAD MP3: Kygo ft Selena Gomez – It Ain't Me
February 16, 2017 | Hip Hop & RnB, International | No Comments|
Kygo and Selena Gomez's much-anticipated collaboration has finally arrived.In one of her most mature-sounding outings to date,"It Ain't Me" Gomez narrates the story of a love turned sour over alcoholism above strummed guitar chords and Kygo's pulsing piano notes.
The Norwegian artist expertly chops up Gomez's verses for the ensuing chord-buoyed builds and drops, which feature his trademark finger-snap claps and tropical pan flute melodies.
Buoyed by Gomez's star power, the natural-sounding number is all but assured to become the 25-year-oldproducer's biggest Billboard Hot 100 hit to date (surpassing 2015's "Firestone," which peaked at No. 92

DESPITE coming under withering attacks over positions he sometimes takes on government and governance issues, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Hassan Kukah, has the courage of his convictions. He has not been too impressed with the content and coherence of the policies of the All Progressives Congress (APC) government in Abuja, and he has said so unambiguously. He has also taken exceptions to the lack of speed and clarity with which President Muhammadu Buhari is tackling national issues, and he has voiced his opinion on the subject eloquently.
In the years to come, Bishop Kukah will be acknowledged for the profundity of his contributions to national discourse and the search for peace, equality and justice. One of such contributions is the puzzle he recently raised about why Nigeria seems to be in 'a state of constant commotions'. He made the statement while responding to a television interview two Saturdays ago. He had been asked a question on insecurity and the Southern Kaduna problem. This was his answer: "…Today it is Southern Kaduna, yesterday, it was something else, and tomorrow, it will be something completely different…We really have not been able to figure out what is wrong with Nigeria. Whether it is Biafra or some other things, how is it that this nation is in a state of constant commotions?"
To the bold and eloquent bishop, the APC didn't seem prepared for governance. For as he argued, it took the Buhari presidency an unduly long time to even constitute a cabinet. Acting President Yemi Osinbajo may have restored some order and empathy to governance, the unmistakable fact is that the APC has yet to show it has a governing ideology. Bishop Kukah is not convinced; so, too, is this column. The onus is on the Buhari presidency to first appreciate the question of Nigeria's 'constant commotions' before venturing a solution.

(Reuters) - The U.S. Transportation Department said on Tuesday it may revise the 2021 model year fuel efficiency requirements as it reviews the Obama administration vehicle emissions rules a year earlier than previously disclosed.
In March, President Donald Trump ordered a review of U.S. vehicle fuel-efficiency standards from model year 2022 through 2025. U.S. regulators said in a notice published Tuesday they are preparing a new environmental impact statement and could adopt lower standards through 2025.

Our Company is dedicated to providing quality Health Care and bodily and emotional comfort to all its shoppers in a vogue of unparalleled excellence. This isn't to advocate a Universal Well being Care Coverage or to argue whether or not Health Care is a pink (Republican) or blue (Democrat) difficulty. I have seen on various locations online a number of references to the Canadian system (about which I know virtually nothing) and to the National Well being Service (NHS) within the United Kingdom. For future residents, we provide a Free RN Evaluation to help you determine one of the best assisted residing , senior housing and care preparations for your loved one.
Our care professionals are aware of their want for highly skilled providers put up-recovery. So long as there's profit to be constituted of it, the folks that profit from the revenue are going to be in opposition to it. When it comes right down to profit, people benefiting from it is not going to care if individuals die from not having enough health care. You think like I do. Nice concepts for exhibiting how particular caregivers are to us. I've labored in home health care on and off since my teen years.
I do hope that Congress is able to pass one thing that includes a public choice. The World Health Group (WHO) is a specialized company of the United Nations. The target for all wound care is the healing of the wound without complications. If we end up with some mandate that everybody should buy private insurance coverage it is going to be a disaster, and if we find yourself with no well being care reform that will be very serious for the nation financially.
The structure of employer and insurance coverage based health care was solidified underneath the Nixon administration when the latter discovered they might make a reasonably penny with this set-up.

The BBC boss behind its rejected local online video proposal has reassured the regional press that the corporation has no intention of providing 'hyperlocal' news at postcode level.
David Holdsworth, the BBC acting director of English regions, told an Ofcom conference at the University of Salford yesterday that the broadcaster's news ambitions were limited to its existing footprint of local websites, TV and radio stations.
But he said the BBC needed to do more to appeal to younger audiences, because its news service was facing a "demographic timebomb".
Last week, the BBC Trust ruled that the BBC's plans to provide video clips on its network of 65 local news websites would not be a suitable use of licence fee money, would not extend the reach of BBC News, and could trample on commercial media groups' attempts to succeed online.
Instead, the corporation has been tasked with finding an alternative way of enhancing its regional news – either through more TV opt-outs in the devolved regions, the launch of more local radio services or a general improvement in the quality of what is already provided.
Holdsworth said: "We face a demographic timebomb. Local radio services from the BBC point of view serve licence fee payers over 60. If you look at the performance of the 6:30pm programmes [on BBC One], the under-45s are largely going missing in the evening."
The regional newspaper industry was vocal in its campaign against the BBC local video plans.
Some newspaper executives, including Trinity Mirror chief executive Sly Bailey, had also expressed concern about moves by the BBC to provide more map-based, postcode-specific online news coverage – a service already provided by sites such as Trinity Mirror's hyperlocal Teesside Gazette websites.
"There was never any intention to make BBC services more local," Holdsworth told delegates.
"There are three markets – there's a regional market, a local market and there's hyperlocal. I think that [last area is] a market for weekly newspapers and postcoded websites that newspapers are developing.
"That's not an area the BBC wants to be in. The limit to our ambitions is local."
He later added: "There was never any hyperlocal part to our application or our intentions.
"We, like quite a few web providers, are keen to use maps more effectively going forward in the way we present our information. There is no other intention beyond that."
The £68m that the BBC would have spent on its online video initiative over four years has been returned to central funds. Its use will be decided by the BBC Trust.
Reports emerged today that up to 200 jobs could be lost as a result of the BBC Trust's decision to turn down the proposal.
In its report, published last Friday, the Trust said: "In the event of non-approval, for staff who would have been transferred to the service from parts of the BBC already being cut under efficiency plans, the executive sets out redundancy and related costs.
"However this figure represents a 'worst case' scenario and could be significantly reduced by management actions. The Trust expects the executive to ameliorate these effects as far as possible."

Please be trans parent in sharing your thoughts on this topic... Many people here roam about in banks to draw money or deposit money but do not carry a pen with them.They hnt for people and ask for that. At railway stations for reservations or cancellations the same thing persists. Even art post offices this repeats. Have you faced such instances - do you carry your own pen.....????

I have faced it a lot of times and I hope you believe me when I say that people who borrow the pen sometimes just forget to return it. I always keep a pen and small pack of postit in my purse. Do not know when I need it? But nowadays I miss the fun of someone asking for a pen because actually everything is become nne and I rarely go to the bank or post office.

Very good habit - keep it up. That indicates you are a principled person and also shows your life is a happy one. The wonder is many are facing this problem but here amongst such a large community I could get only one response. thanks for your response.

The Good: The chase mechanic in Part 2 is a lot of fun and I enjoyed how it was implemented: abstract areas, additional actions, complications, etc. A moonlit attack on a caravan with characters leaping onto wagons, trying to throw enemies off, and dodging obstacles? Yes, this is great!
The Bad: The faction-choice (bandits vs guards) caused more problems than the benefits it creates. This led to a lot of back and forth in the text about which opponents they'd be fighting as well as who might survive from one part to another. I really had trouble figuring out who was still around in the first half of Part 3 because of this, and I'm not sure why the text assumes that players acting as guards would immediately free the captives. Then again, my group had precisely zero interest in helping the Red Plumes do anything at all, so that didn't come up. The editing problems rife in Season 3 AL content show up here as well; DMs need to review carefully to make sure that they understand the intent of any given instruction or description rather than what was actually printed.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Stop me if you've heard this one: a hard-working greenkeeper spends his days on a mower while dreaming of the PGA Tour.
Time's up. That's Carl Spackler as played by Bill Murray in Caddyshack. But it's also a reasonable depiction of Bryan Bigley's current career — a greenkeeper and mini-tour player who Monday-qualified his way into the field this week at Quail Hollow for the second year in a row. Thursday was both his second career start at Quail Hollow and second start on the PGA Tour.
Carl Spackler he is not, but Bigley is a guy most of us could easily get behind: he's a soft-spoken 27-year-old from Schenectady, N.Y., the middle child of three and the son of a golf-course superintendent. He doesn't wear a golf glove, which is pretty old-school, but the rest of his game is decidedly new-school. He's 6-foot-5, thinner than a 3-iron, and hunches over the ball a little in his stance, like a lot of tall guys do. His swing isn't artistic, but it's powerful. He was the best player on his college team at Siena University, and after graduating in 2007 he wanted to keep chasing his dream of playing the PGA Tour. He decided his best shot would be to move to North Carolina.
"I don't know what I'd do if I didn't play golf, to be honest," he said.
Well, there's one other thing he's currently doing: Bigley is on the grounds crew at Rain Tree Country Club in Charlotte, about a 20-minute drive from Quail Hollow. He's worked there for five years. When Bigley is not on the clock, he gets to play golf, but the workload is no joke. Mowing greens. Raking bunkers. Manual labor.
"I go in at 6:30 in the morning, and I mow greens until 10:30, 11 o'clock," he said. "It's not really a side job. Golf is the side job."
Perhaps the best thing about being on the grounds crew, other than having a golf course for an office, is the flexibility to play mini-tours and attempt to qualify for the PGA Tour events on Mondays. Bigley teed it up in five out of the six weeks leading up to his Wells Fargo qualifier, which he credits for a sharpened game that produced a six-under 64 at Carolina Golf Club, good for both medalist honors and a spot in the Quail Hollow field. But to pay the bills, he did squeeze in some time on the mower.
"I worked Sunday morning, and then I qualified for Quail Hollow on Monday," he said with a laugh.
Bigley has nine mini-tour victories in his pro career, which began in 2008. This season he's been kicking around on the eGolf Tour, a circuit that stays in the Charlotte area. His best finish this year came three weeks ago when he tied for 21st and earned $1,934.57.
"You're not going to make money out there unless you finish in the top 10, but it's a good place to tune your game up," he said before adding, "I don't want to be like some of the other guys, just grinding it and saying, 'It's just another week.' You almost lose touch with reality.
"I'm going to have fun and enjoy myself."
Bigley admitted there was a time in late 2009 and early 2010 when his enjoyment waned and he began burning out on the game. He pulled out of Q-school before the opening round ("couldn't even look at a club"). But he never lost the support of his family, friends and girlfriend of three years, Brooke Barrows, and the time away from his clubs proved invigorating. A renewed commitment to practice paid off last year when he successfully Monday-qualified for Quail Hollow and made his first PGA Tour start.
"It just sort of kicked things off for me again," he said.
Last year, Bigley missed the cut by 10 shots, but he felt more comfortable entering the opening round on Thursday. He picked up an experienced caddie, Todd Montoya, who's looped for Billy Mayfair and Ryuji Imada, and worked Quail Hollow numerous times. Bigley also has a savvy coach, Randy Joyner, who trains several Nationwide players. No longer a wide-eyed PGA Tour novice, this week Bigley was relaxed and quietly confident.
Unfortunately not all fairy tales have happy endings. Bigley was paired with Billy Hurley III and Kyle Thompson in the final group of the day, and his round started well. Through 14 holes Bigley was birdie-less, but hanging in at 3-over. The wheels started coming off on the par-5 fifth hole, Bigley's 14th, where he missed a 13-footer for birdie and hung his head a bit. It got worse when he missed a putt inside three feet for par at the sixth. Then Bigley short-circuited — all golfers have been there — and he made two more double bogeys to finish with an eight-over 80. After 18 holes, he's in 155th place out of 155 competitors.
Was he crushed? Devastated? Hardly. Instead, he focused on what he can take away from the experience of competing against PGA Tour pros.
"I learned they have good short games," he said. "Billy Hurley really didn't play well, but around the greens he was unbelievable."
Joyner, his coach, was also upbeat; he said the pressure Bigley experienced on Thursday will help him in future events.
"He doesn't have the short game yet that a lot of these other players do, but he's only playing half the time," Joyner said. "He'll come off this and the U.S. Open qualifier will feel easy for him."
After it was all over, Bigley could still have a laugh about the shirt he had chosen for his big day — an electric green number that Rickie Fowler might consider over-the-top.
"I knew I was in the last group, so if it got dark, at least someone would find me," he said with a smile.
Bigley added that he'll be giving it his best again in the second round on Friday.
"I'm just going to grind hard until the last putt goes in," he said.
It doesn't sound like a fairy-tale ending, but maybe with this story, the best is still to come.
