Doctors are increasingly making their records available to patients. Advocates say the concept makes the doctor-patient relationship less paternalistic and can lead to better patient outcomes and satisfaction. But there could be downsides, too. (Shefali Luthra, 1/28 )
The nation's largest online broker lost thousands of customers, but some analysts suggest that if the Supreme Court strikes down subsidies on the federal exchange, some may return to the company. (Phil Galewitz, 1/28 )

Summaries Of The News:
A New Mexico insurer is proposing a 50 percent hike, while in Ohio, premiums are likely to go up 13 percent. Meanwhile, in a new California survey, 44 percent of the state's health exchange customers reported difficulty in paying monthly premiums.
Politico: Experts See Big Price Hikes For Obamacare
The cost of Obamacare could rise for millions of Americans next year, with one insurer proposing a 50 percent hike in premiums, fueling the controversy about just how "affordable" the Affordable Care Act really is. The eye-popping 50 percent hike by New Mexico insurer Blue Cross Blue Shield is an outlier, and state officials may not allow it to go through. But health insurance experts are predicting that premiums will rise more significantly in 2016 than in the first two years of Obamacare exchange coverage. In 2015, for example, premiums increased by an average of 5.4 percent, according to PwC's Health Research Institute. (Demko, 5/30)
Los Angeles Times: 44% Of Covered California Customers Report Difficulty Paying Premiums
A new survey shows that 44% of Covered California policyholders find it difficult paying their monthly premiums for Obamacare coverage. And a similar percentage of uninsured Californians say the high cost of coverage is the main reason they go without health insurance. The issue of just how much people can afford will loom large as the state exchange prepares to negotiate with health insurers over next year's rates. (Terhune, 5/29)
The Columbus Dispatch: Obamacare Premiums To Rise 13%, Ohio Agency Says
Premiums would increase 13 percent next year for Ohioans who buy health coverage through the federally run insurance exchange, the Ohio Department of Insurance said yesterday. (Sutherly, 5/30)
And in Vermont, attention is turning to whether the state's exchange will be effective -
Politico Pro: Vermont's Troubled Obamacare Exchange Faces Key Test
After the high-profile collapse of plans to create the country's first single-payer system, Vermont's health care ambitions these days are much smaller — now it's just hoping to keep its Obamacare exchange. Vermont, the state that once represented the liberal dream for health care, is about to face a major test this weekend on whether it can overcome the significant technology woes still plaguing its enrollment website. (Pradhan, 5/29)
There are few signs of progress in reaching a compromise since the legislative session ended abruptly with Republicans in the House and Senate torn about how to handle a cut in federal Medicaid funding for hospitals and the option of expanding the state's Medicaid program. Across the country in Montana, where the legislature barely passed an expansion bill this year, officials named the panel that will oversee that program and included two prominent critics.
The Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times: Discord Remains As Florida Legislature's Special Session Set To Open
For the first time in 23 years, Florida ended its regular session without a state budget, prompting legislators to reconvene - starting Monday -- to finish work. But the opening day of the three-week special session is also the official opening of the hurricane season -- and the health care debate that sidetracked the state's $80B budget debate continues to spawn political storms. (Klas, 5/30)
Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald: Feds Raise Questions About Governor's Plan For LIP Funds
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Friday said that it has not signed off on the proposal by Gov. Rick Scott to rely on local governments and safety net hospitals to drawn down money for the uninsured and raised concerns about the impact of the change on communities -- like Miami -- that provide the bulk of the funding for the low-income pool. (Klas, 5/29)
The Associated Press: 2 Opponents Named To Montana Medicaid Expansion Panel
Two of the biggest opponents of Medicaid expansion in Montana are going to be members of the panel that oversees it. Gov. Steve Bullock and legislative leaders released Friday their picks for a nine-member Medicaid expansion committee. GOP leaders picked two vociferous opponents of the measure, Bozeman Rep. Art Wittich and Bigfork Sen. Bob Keenan, to represent the conservative caucus. "We won't be sitting in the committee meetings with pom-poms," Keenan said. (Noon, 5/29)
In Minnesota, officials note a milestone -
The Minneapolis Star-Tribune: In Wake Of Federal Reform, Minnesota's Medicaid Enrollment Surges To 1 Million
Minnesota's Medicaid rolls have soared past the 1 million mark for the first time, driven by two years of explosive growth in government insurance programs in the wake of federal health reform. (Howatt, 5/31)
The Senate parliamentarian suggests that parts of the health law cannot be undone through the obscure procedure known as "reconciliation" because they don't affect the federal budget. Meanwhile, a study by the nation's actuaries questions the impact of Republican plans to quell market turmoil should the high court strike down the health law's insurance subsidies in about three dozen states.
Politico: GOP Hits Another Roadblock On Obamacare Repeal
Repealing the law "root and branch" is probably out of the question, the chamber's parliamentarian is hinting, because some parts of Obamacare don't affect the federal budget. That's a must in order to use the obscure procedure known in Senate parlance as reconciliation, which allows lawmakers to avoid the 60-vote filibuster hurdle and pass bills on a simple majority vote. That's not the GOP's only problem. Under those rules any Obamacare repeal has to reduce — not increase — the deficit. So Republicans will have to pick and choose which parts of the Affordable Care Act they most want to ditch. (Bade and Haberkorn, 6/1)
The Fiscal Times: New Study Pours Cold Water On GOP Obamacare Plan
Republicans have spent months cobbling together a handful of plans to quell the fallout of a potential Supreme Court ruling that would strike down federal subsidies to millions of Obamacare enrollees living in the 34 states that rely on HealthCare.gov. However, a new report says by eliminating the very foundation upon which Obamacare was built -- the individual and employer mandates -- two of the GOP contingency plans will wreak havoc with the insurance industry that undergirds all health plans, private and public. (Ehley, 5/29)
And consumer advocates raise concerns about another bill on Capitol Hill -
The Wall Street Journal's Pharmalot: Will The 21st Century Cures Bill Lower Standards For Some Drug Approvals?
Would a new Congressional bill designed to jumpstart medical innovation lower standards for approving new uses of existing medicines? Consumer advocates are raising this concern about the 21st Century Cures legislation, which passed the House Energy and Commerce Committee unanimously last week and, in part, is designed to reform the approval process for drugs. Supporters say the bill is a long overdue move that, among other things, will give the FDA the tools to ensure treatments reach patients faster. (Silverman, 5/29)
News outlets report that Humana's presence in Medicare Advantage program makes it a prime target for acquisition. And, as reports emerged about its possible sale, the insurer's stock soared.
The Wall Street Journal: Health Insurer Humana Explores Sale
Health insurer Humana Inc. is exploring a possible sale of the company, a move that could trigger a round of mergers in an industry grappling with challenges and opportunities the federal health-care overhaul has created. Faced with pressure to cut costs and find ways to profit from the potential new customers the Affordable Care Act is generating, the big health insurers have long been expected by analysts to turn to mergers that will give them the heft to better compete as the industry evolves. (Hoffman, Mattioli, Cimilluca and Wilde Mathews, 5/29)
The New York Times: Humana Is Said To Consider Sale Of Company
The wave of deal-making that has swept across the health care industry now appears poised to pull in health insurers, a development driven by the Obama administration's insurance overhaul. Humana, one of the country's largest health insurers, is weighing a potential sale of itself after having been approached by several competitors, people briefed on the matter said on Friday. These people, who were not authorized to speak publicly, cautioned that the company had made no decisions and might choose not to sell. (de la Merced and Creswell, 5/29)
Bloomberg: Humana's Baby-Boomer Focus Makes Insurer A Prize For Cigna
Humana Inc. has become an acquisition target thanks to its big presence in Medicare Advantage, the private-sector version of the U.S. program that's one of the fastest-growing pieces of the health insurance market. Enrollment in Medicare is climbing as more Americans turn 65 and become eligible for the health program for the elderly and disabled. Membership is expected to rise to 68.4 million in 2023, up 26 percent from this year, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. (Tracer, 5/29)
USA Today: Humana Shares Close Up 20% On Report Of Possible Sale
Humana shares closed up 20% Friday after a day of media reports that the company could be for sale. Shares of Louisville-based Humana, one of the largest U.S. insurers were up $36.24 to close at $214.65. Analysts have been discussing the possibility that large health insurers flush with cash might be looking for a big acquisition. Deal-friendly low interest rates and expectations for another wave of consolidation also are fueling the speculation. (O'Donnell, 5/29)
The Associated Press: Report: Health Insurer Humana Considering A Sale
Humana shares soared well beyond all-time high prices Friday afternoon on speculation that the company, one of the nation's biggest health insurers, might be up for sale. Analysts have been discussing for a few weeks the possibility that large health insurers flush with cash may be hunting for a big acquisition. Deal-friendly low interest rates and expectations for another wave of consolidation also are fueling the speculation. (Murphy, 5/30)
A prominent cancer specialist called out pharmaceutical companies at a speech before the American Society of Clinical Oncology, saying "cancer-drug prices are not related to the value of the drug." Other doctors are frustrated by production delays that have left the cancer drug, BCG, in short supply. Shortages of other painkillers and antibiotics have also hamstrung hospitals.
The Wall Street Journal: High Prices For Drugs Attacked At Meeting
In a sign of growing frustration with rising drug prices, a prominent cancer specialist on Sunday sharply criticized the costs of new cancer treatments in a high-profile speech at one of the largest annual medical meetings in the U.S. "These drugs cost too much," Leonard Saltz, chief of gastrointestinal oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, said in a speech heard by thousands of doctors here for the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. (Walker, 6/1)
The Wall Street Journal: U.S. Drug Shortages Frustrate Doctors, Patients
Robin Miller, a 62-year-old oncologist in Atlanta with bladder cancer, was scheduled to receive a potentially lifesaving drug in December. But her doctor's office called shortly before the appointment to say: "Sorry, we don't have any. We can't give it to you," according to Dr. Miller. The disruption was due to a global shortage of the drug, BCG, which arose after manufacturing problems at two of the few global suppliers. Without the drug, Dr. Miller feared her cancer would come back and she would have to have her bladder removed, a step she called "barbaric." (Loftus, 5/31)
Studies show that "promising" new immune-therapy drugs can extend the lives of patients with common forms of cancer, like lung and skin. The medications are costly with strong side effects, and only work on a minority of patients. So researchers say it's critical to develop screenings to determine who will benefit from the treatment -
The New York Times: New Class Of Drugs Shows More Promise In Treating Cancer
A new drug that unleashes the body's immune system to attack tumors can prolong the lives of people with the most common form of lung cancer, doctors reported on Friday, the latest example of the significant results being achieved by this new class of medicines. In a separate study, researchers said they had found that a particular genetic signature in the tumor can help predict which patients could benefit from the immune-boosting drugs. The finding could potentially extend use of these drugs to some patients with colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and other tumors that have seemed almost impervious to the new drugs. (Pollack, 5/29)
The Associated Press: More Cancer Success With Drugs That Enlist Immune System
For the first time, a major study shows that a drug targeting the body's disease-fighting immune system may improve survival for the most common form of lung cancer. These newer kinds of drugs have transformed treatment of melanoma, the deadliest kind of skin cancer. Studies presented at a conference Friday suggest these "immune therapies" can play a broader role in more common cancers, including lung, liver, colon and head and neck. (Tanner, 5/29)
The New York Times: Doctors Seek Test For Deploying New Life-Extending Cancer Drugs
New drugs that boost the immune system's ability to fight tumors may be one of the greatest medical advances in years, cancer doctors say, pulling some patients from death's door and keeping them in remission for years. But the truth is that this happens for only a minority of patients. Now, doctors say, there is a new imperative to develop a test that will identify in advance which patients will benefit, sparing others the cost and possible side effects.n (Pollack, 5/31)
In other news, a federal appeals court ruled that drug manufacturer Actavis' attempted switch of patented Alzheimer's medication is in violation of antitrust law.
The New York Times: Federal Investigators Fault Medicare's Reliance On Doctors For Pay Standards
The government relies too heavily on advice from the American Medical Association in deciding how much to pay doctors under Medicare, and the decisions may be biased because the doctors have potential conflicts of interest, federal investigators say in a new report. This reliance on the association, combined with flaws in data collected by the influential doctors' group, "could result in inaccurate Medicare payment rates," the investigators said. (Pear, 5/31)
The Associated Press: US Appeals Court: Alzheimer's Drug Swap Is Anti-Competitive
A federal appeals court has ruled that drug manufacturer Actavis PLC's attempted switch of patented Alzheimer's medication, which halted distribution of the old drug before its patent expires this summer, violates U.S. antitrust law. The decision unsealed this week explains the ruling last week by a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that requires the Irish company to keep distributing Namenda until 30 days after its patent expires on July 11. (Virtanen, 5/29)
After investing billions to go digital, the health care industry faces the realization it must spend more to secure patients' electronic records, reports Politico. Meanwhile, eHealth, the nation's largest online health insurance broker, faces tough competition from the health law's exchanges.
Politico: Health Care Spending Billions To Protect The Records It Spent Billions To Install
The hacking of the health records of as many as 1 in 3 Americans has awakened the health care industry to an unpleasant reality: After spending billions to install computerized documents in hospitals and networks, it now must spend billions more to make them secure. (Allen, 6/1)
Kaiser Health News: EHealth Sees Once-Thriving Business Decline After Health Law's Exchanges Open
The Affordable Care Act was expected to be a boon for eHealth Inc., the nation's largest online health insurance broker. After all, the law required most Americans to have coverage, provided government assistance to afford it and allowed Internet brokers to sell Obamacare policies. (Galewitz, 6/1)

The Washington Post: Clinton's Campaign Will Make Substance Abuse, Mental Health Key Issues
Clinton senior policy advisers Ann O'Leary and Maya Harris participated in Google hangouts Friday with treatment providers, law enforcement officers, local politicians and others in Iowa and New Hampshire, a Clinton aide said. The groups discussed the scourge of opiate addiction, which is decimating New Hampshire and is a growing problem in Iowa, and the use of methamphetamines in Iowa. (Zezima, 5/31)
The Associated Press: Clinton Advisers Begin Developing Substance Abuse Policies
Top advisers from Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential campaign are speaking with substance abuse prevention advocates in Iowa and New Hampshire as they develop campaign policies around drug addiction and treatment. Ann O'Leary and Maya Harris, two top policy advisers to the campaign, held video conferences last week with leading advocates in both early voting states, campaign officials said. Clinton said in April she would make mental health and substance abuse treatment a "big part" of her campaign after hearing about it on the trail in both states. (5/31)
The three-judge panel's unanimous decision came just weeks after the U.S. House of Representatives approved legislation that would ban abortions after the same time span.
Los Angeles Times: U.S. Appeals Court Strikes Down Idaho Law Banning Abortions After 20 Weeks
Three federal judges have unanimously struck down an Idaho law that banned abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Jennie McCormack, the plaintiff in the case, was arrested in 2011 for taking a pack of five pills to end a pregnancy. Surgical abortions were not available in southeast Idaho, where she lived, according to court documents. Instead of undergoing an inpatient procedure, which would have required McCormack to travel more than 150 miles, crossing the Utah state line, to Salt Lake City, she used a combination of medicine to induce an abortion in her home. (Shepherd, 5/30)
The Hill: Court Nixes Idaho's 20-Week Abortion Plan
A federal appeals court on Friday struck down an Idaho law banning abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, ruling the law unconstitutional. The ruling comes a few weeks after the U.S. House passed legislation that would ban abortions after the same timespan, sending it to the Senate. (Sullivan, 5/29)
Politico Pro: Appeals Court Declares Idaho Abortion Ban Unconstitutional
An Idaho law that bans abortions after 20 weeks was ruled unconstitutional Friday by a federal appeals court. The ruling comes just two weeks after the House of Representatives passed a similar federal ban and a day after South Carolina's state Senate advanced its own measure. Fourteen states have enacted 20-week abortion bans, through courts have blocked them in three. (Mershon, 5/29)
Meanwhile, in related news from the polling front -
Politico: Pro-Choice Outpolls Pro-Life For First Time In 7 Years
For the first time in seven years, Americans who are "pro-choice" hold a statistically significant lead over Americans who are "pro-life." According to a new Gallup poll, 50 percent of Americans now call themselves pro-choice, including 54 percent of women and 46 percent of men. Only 44 percent of respondents labeled themselves pro-life, the lowest response in more than five years. (Lerner, 5/29)
News outlets report on health issues from Connecticut, Massachusetts, Kentucky, New Mexico, Texas, North Carolina, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and New York.
The Connecticut Mirror: Revised Health Care Bill Passes House, Despite Hospital Opposition
The House of Representatives passed a wide-ranging, controversial health care bill Saturday night after scaling back certain provisions deemed particularly onerous by hospitals. Many individual provisions of the 87-page proposal could have been controversial bills on their own; together, they represent a set of changes that could have significant ripples through major industries undergoing rapid change. Hospital officials have said they impose onerous new regulations and could make it harder for distressed hospitals to find purchasers to help them survive, while unions and advocacy groups say they could help rein in costs and protect patients (Levin Becker, 5/31)
The Boston Globe: Partners Takes Patient Data Digital With $1.2B System
After two years as an intensive care nurse at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Aqua Bang will no longer need to carry a pen and binder to record the vital signs of her patients. Instead, that information will instantly flow from bedside monitors to each patient's computerized health record, part of a massive information technology system launched over the weekend by Partners HealthCare. (Dayal McCluskey, 6/1)
The Washington Post: Matt Bevin Prevails As James Comer Concedes Kentucky Governor Primary
After a recanvass of vote totals left him still narrowly trailing, James R. Comer, the Kentucky agriculture commissioner, on Friday conceded the Republican primary race for governor to Matt Bevin, a wealthy Louisville businessman and Tea Party favorite. ... This year, Mr. Bevin again portrayed himself as the most conservative choice, vowing to repeal the state's health insurance exchange and Medicaid expansion, both created under the Affordable Care Act. Political analysts and some state Republicans said Mr. Bevin would be a weaker candidate in the general election than Mr. Comer would have been. (Blinder and Perez-Pena, 5/29)
The Associated Press: Teen Births Down But Remain Stubborn Problem In New Mexico
New Mexico has a stubborn problem: its persistent ranking at or near the top in the nation when it comes to teen pregnancies. A new legislative analysis suggests that the state Health Department in collaboration with other agencies develop a comprehensive plan to reduce teen births. It also recommends the Legislature continue to invest in programs such as early childhood education that support the futures of teen parents and their children. (Jolly, 5/29)

The Charlotte Observer: In NC, Prostate Cancer Attacks Black Men At Startling Rate
The likelihood of black men getting prostate cancer and dying from it represent two of the biggest gaps between the health of black and white men in the United States. The gulf is particularly wide in North Carolina, where the odds of dying from prostate cancer are among the worst in the nation, with African-Americans nearly two times as likely as whites to be diagnosed with it and nearly three times as likely to die from its complications. For every 100,000 African-American men in North Carolina, 216 per year will develop prostate cancer, and 48 will die of the disease, according to the N.C. Central Cancer Registry. (Price and Garloch, 5/30)
South Bend Tribune: Medicaid Aid Scarce For Michiana Herion Users
Imagine the worst of flu symptoms — complete with vomiting, diarrhea and severe body aches — then multiply that misery by 100, and that's how recovering heroin users describe the feeling of withdrawal. Yet, as the South Bend area battles an epidemic of heroin and opiate painkiller abuse, experts say the region lacks the type of medical care that could help users overcome the physical anguish and intense cravings that keep most of them from quitting and staying clean. (Sheckler, 5/31)
Chicago Tribune's Clout Street: Sweeping Anti-Heroin Use Bill Sent To Rauner
The Illinois Senate on Saturday sent Gov. Bruce Rauner a sweeping measure aimed at curbing heroin use and preventing overdose deaths even as critics questioned how the state would pay for the $15 million program with a major budget shortfall. Illinois House approves heroin treatment measure Illinois House approves heroin treatment measure The measure was approved 46-5 after passing the House earlier in the week. The bill would expand specialized drug courts that focus on treatment and require police departments and firehouses to stock opioid antidotes that could be used to counteract heroin overdoses. In addition, the state's Medicaid health care program for the poor would have to cover the cost of drug treatment programs, as would private insurance companies. (Hellmann, 5/30)
The Des Moines Register: UIHC Launches Virtual Clinic Service For Iowans
University of Iowa Health Care launched a new virtual clinic service this week that allows Iowans to check in with health care providers through their computer, tablet or smartphone. The service, UIeCare.com, is designed for seeking medical advice about minor illnesses and injuries — conditions from allergies to yeast infection that can be characterized as urgent but not life-threatening. It charges a $50 flat fee, per use, and can be used anywhere in the state, as long as would-be patients have an Internet connection and a Web camera on their computer or mobile device.

The New York Times: Jury In The Bronx Awards $45 Million For A Death After Surgery
A Bronx jury has awarded $45.6 million to the parents of a man who was paralyzed at 14 and later died as a result of a spinal operation at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, according to court papers released Friday. The man, Edward Beloyianis, who lived in Dix Hills, Long Island, had gone to the Manhattan hospital in November 2002 for surgery to correct his scoliosis, a condition that made his spine curve in an S-shape, his lawyer, Evan Torgan, said on Friday. Mr. Beloyianis was paralyzed from the waist down by four screws that had been misplaced during the surgery and were pressing on his spinal cord, Mr. Torgan argued during a six-month trial in State Supreme Court in the Bronx.

A major international clinical trial has provided the strongest evidence yet that people infected with H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS, should get treated as soon as possible, even if they are feeling well, to ward off serious illness and fatal complications in future years. The finding raises the powerful moral question of whether global and national organizations can find the will — and the resources — to protect millions of people from deaths and diseases that could be prevented.

Los Angeles Times: Pass The Vaccination Bill
The vaccination debate has reached fever pitch. Legislation has passed in the state Senate that would do away with the "personal belief exemption" that allows parents in California to refuse to vaccinate their children. As it moves to the Assembly, opponents are ratcheting up their rhetoric, calling the bill a huge intrusion on their rights, and one that is written so broadly that even children with conditions that make vaccinations dangerous for them wouldn't be entitled to exemptions. The noise surrounding SB 277 is drowning out the truth, which is this: In general, parents have a right to make medical decisions for their children. But when it comes to communicable diseases, which can have devastating consequences on large groups of people, there also is a general societal right to protect public health. (5/29)
Tampa Bay Times: Real Stories: Floridians Without Health Care Thanks To The Legislature
The Florida Legislature can help more than 800,000 low-income Floridians obtain affordable, accessible health coverage. It can accept billions in federal Medicaid expansion money to help pay for private coverage during a special session that starts Monday. Yet Gov. Rick Scott and House Republicans remain opposed to the Senate's bipartisan plan that has broad support from businesses, civic groups and the medical community. They are the immoral minority. How can they turn their backs on these fellow Floridians? (6/1)
Modern Healthcare: Judge's Comments Signal Another Legal Nightmare For Obamacare
It looks like the Obama administration may have another big legal headache in defending the Affordable Care Act. A Republican-appointed judge's comments Thursday suggest that it's very possible the administration will have to fight a new high-stakes court battle to save another key affordable coverage feature of the law. During a preliminary court hearing in Washington, U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer fired a series of sharply skeptical questions at the administration's lawyer who was urging her to dismiss an anti-Obamacare lawsuit filed by House Republicans. She was far less aggressive in questioning the plaintiffs' lawyer. And she made what was apparently a joke about impeaching the president. (Harris Meyer, 5/28)
Los Angeles Times: A Bogus Study Of Chocolate And Diets -- And The Media That Swallowed It Whole
John Bohannon is a journalist who made something of a name for himself with a 2013 exposé of the credulousness of science journals. This week he unveiled a new sting, in which he duped a host of media outlets in Europe and the U.S. with a patently bogus study purporting to find that eating chocolate made diets more effective. Bohannon promptly attracted kudos for exposing the laziness of the mass media when it comes to checking out superficial scientific claims. But he has also drawn brickbats for his own investigative technique and questions about his own ethics. All these reactions are justified. (Michael Hiltzik, 5/29)
The New York Times: The Insecure Americans
[T]he reality is that living longer in our ever-more-unequal society is very much a class thing: life expectancy at age 65 has risen a lot among the affluent, but hardly at all in the bottom half of the wage distribution, that is, among those who need Social Security most. And while the retirement system F.D.R. introduced may look old-fashioned to affluent professionals, it is quite literally a lifeline for many of our fellow citizens. A majority of Americans over 65 get more than half their income from Social Security, and more than a quarter are almost completely reliant on those monthly checks. (Paul Krugman, 5/29)
NPR: Does Your Neighborhood Doom You To An Early Death?
As health care providers, we can work hard to provide good care and even advocate for expanded access to health care, but that there are a myriad of other greater factors that contribute to people dying early. Those factors aren't within any individual's control; they that can only be addressed by the larger society. But as a culture it seems like we've decided that we're okay with not addressing environmental factors, which means we're okay with T.S's baby having a life expectancy that is almost a decade less than a baby born the next neighborhood over.

The Seattle Times: Can You Be Addicted To Food?
No one doubts the reality — or seriousness — of addiction to alcohol, tobacco or other drugs, but bring up food addiction and you might get a few eye rolls. However, research suggests that food addiction is far more than just an excuse for overeating. One conundrum with food addiction is that unlike alcohol or drugs, we need food. We depend on food to live. There's a saying in Overeaters Anonymous: "When you are addicted to alcohol, you put the tiger in the cage and leave it there in order to recover. When you are addicted to food, you put the tiger in the cage but take it out three times a day for a walk." (Carrie Dennett, 5/31)

THE BOOMS IN CAPTAIN BLOOD
I just read a users review for CAPTAIN BLOOD - they liked the show, but they made a comment that sometimes the sound effects drown out the voices. That is true! In the battle scenes, there is 'throw away" dialog; meaning dialog that is not terribly important (usually orders being shouted) that I intentionally wanted to be difficult to hear so as to illustrate the intensity of the battle - especially with 40 17th century 12 pounders booming from a ships deck. Some of you have have listened to the show may have had the same thoughts, so I thought I would clarify that it wasn't an editing error, but intentional. Fun show!

A NEW FEATURE LENGTH POWDER RIVER
ANALOGY OF A POWDER RIVER WRITING MARATHON
Some of you have seen the poster to an upcoming POWDER RIVER feature, called THIS SIDE OF FURY. I thought I would write a short note on how that came about.
There is a celebrity that I would like to work with as a guest star on POWDER RIVER, and I was going to be meeting with him; however at the last minute I realized that presenting a script would be better than "talk" - so on a Wednesday night (I was meeting him in three days) I got the bright idea that I could write a feature length production in three days. I phoned Exec Producer Mark Vander Berg who thought it was a good move - and also crazy, and then I called Deniz Cordell and told him my plan - he also saw the wisdom of presenting a completed script, and also that it would be a back-breaker to do (A feature length script is about 90 pages). I shanghaied him into service and we kicked around some possible ideas.
I already had the title; "This Side Of Fury," which was planned as the opening episode for Season 10 - however the storyline I had in mind for that episode would not work as feature since it ran off of the Season 9 finale - so I would need to get a new title for that episode, and create a new storyline for the feature length "FURY." After about an hour, Deniz and I had come up with enough to get started, and off I went!
All through the night new scenes developed and I sent the pages to Deniz for his two cents and ideas - there was not going to be any wiggle room for re-writes at a later date, which is how it usually goes. The sun came up on the next day and I saw the kids getting on the school bus across the street as a new pot of coffee was brewing and the story continued to develop all day long and into the next night.
Plot lines were changed and re-done - a new idea would come into play which meant a new "lead in" would need to be written (and another re-write). I had a music meeting scheduled with our composer Jeff Gage for Thursday afternoon, which I canceled because I needed to keep going; happily he was okay with the last minute change! At this point I was fifty pages into the script. Deniz would read them and send back thoughts and ideas, and the process continued.
Thursday night came along, and more coffee was brewing. The story had taken a remarkable turn that not only played into the back story of the entire series, but had that "edge" that will shock the fans and at the same time is totally probable and obvious. We both started to get very excited about the story and where it was leading .... but it could not be rushed ... pacing is important.
I was lucky that Deniz was on the other end checking the script not only for typos but for story development; this one did not have the luxury of having a story outline for development and a second draft after completion.
Dawn arrived on Friday morning and the kids got back onto the school bus as the story was plowing forward, and continued to do so all day Friday.
The writing stopped on Friday evening as we had two episodes of ROYALL HOUSE that needed to be recorded. The session took three and a half hours, and soon after that I went into the WBZ studios in Boston to do THE JORDAN RICH SHOW and a 1AM appearance with Flint Dille and David Marconi to promote AGENT 13. I got back home from the show at around three in the morning, and continued to work on the script until almost eight AM.
It was now Saturday morning.
But we were done.
I delivered the script to the actor who I am hoping will guest star. I have doubts that he will do it - however in the end I think we have one of the more exciting POWDER RIVER adventures to date, and the fact that it was done so quickly, in a 72 hour marathon, makes it all the more special.
We'll record it (even if the guest star we pitched to declines), release it, and see what the PR fans think ... but no matter what the reviews are, it was something that I can't believe we pulled off .....
.... and something I'll never forget and hopefully will never have to do again!

The Masstransiscope art project in the Manhattan-bound Q-train tunnel leaving Brooklyn's DeKalb Avenue subway station is one of a kind. It's a public artwork by artist and photographer Bill Brand which combines a 300-foot long piece of art with a special enclosure that has 228 narrow slits that are surrounded by backlighting. As the train moves by at about 30mph, your eyes only see the art through the slits, making it appear as if it was animated. In this video from the Museum of the City of New York, learn more about the piece, and how you can see a model version of it at the museum.
Artist Bill Brand's "Masstransiscope" might only be viewable from the train between the Dekalb subway stop and the Manhattan Bridge, but the model he made to test out his major public art installation can be seen in "Art in the Open: Fifty Years of Public Art in New York."
To see the original installation, simply look out the right side of your train car when heading towards Manhattan on a q train leaving DeKalb Avenue. To see the model, check out the Art in the Open exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York.

Q: Sending encoding response in json I am using a lot of jQuery in a project am working on.
I have a javascript function that makes an ajax request to a controller which returns data in JSON.
I would like to display a user friendly message informing the user that he/she has no information stored yet. But I'm confused as to how to send a response in JSON so my javascript function can determine whether the user has information to be displayed.
Here is my javascript function:
function latest_pheeds() {
    var action = url+"pheeds/latest_pheeds";
    $('#pheed-stream').html('

');
    $('.loading').append('');
    $.ajax({
        url:action,
        type:'GET',
        dataType:'json',
        error: function () {
        },
        success:function(data) {
            $('.loading').fadeOut('slow');
            $.each(data,function(index,item) {
            $('#pheed-stream').append
            (
            '
'+
            '
'
            +item.user_id+'
'+
            '
'+item.pheed+'
'+
            '
'+
            ''+item.datetime+' Ago'+
            ''+item.comments+
            ''+
            ''+
            ''+item.repheeds+
            ' Repheeds'+
            ''+
            ''+
            ''+
            'Favourite'+
            ''+
            ''+
            '
'+
            '
'
            );
        });
        }
    });
}

And heres the controller function the ajax request is made to
function latest_pheeds() {
    //Confirm if a user is logged before allowing access
    if($this->isLogged() == true) {
        //load the pheed model for database interaction
        $this->load->model('pheed_model');
        //load user model
        $this->load->model('user_model');
        //load comment model
        $this->load->model('comment_model');
        //store the pheeds to a the $data variable
        $data = $this->pheed_model->get_latest_pheeds();
        //Load the date helper to calculate time difference between post time and current time
        $this->load->helper('date');
        //Current time(unix timetamp)
        $time = time();
        //pheeds
        $pheeds = array();
        if(count($data) > 0 ) {
            foreach($data as $pheed) {
                $row['pheed_id'] = $pheed->pheed_id;
                $row['user_id'] = $this->user_model->return_username($pheed->user_id);
                $row['pheed'] = $pheed->pheed;
                $row['datetime'] = timespan($pheed->datetime,$time);
                $row['comments'] = $this->comment_model->count_comments($pheed->pheed_id);
                $row['repheeds'] = $pheed->repheeds;
                $pheeds[] = $row;
            }

            echo json_encode($pheeds);
            $response['response'] = "Ok";
            $res[] = $response;
            echo json_encode($res)."\n";
        }
    } else {

    }

It generates the JSON output,but the syntax is broken so i cant read it with javascript,
but once i get rid of the following code from the above method it works normally
  $response['response'] = "Ok";
  $res[] = $response;
  echo json_encode($res)."\n";

A: You MUST only use json_encode($data) once in a response, if you want to output more stuff, you need to merge your data into one array and send that.
EDIT: To be clear, one way you could do it is like this:
echo json_encode(array('pheeds' => $pheeds, 'res' => $res));

Then in JS you will get an array with the keys "pheeds" and "res".
Although it may be of little practical significance, I would also recommend doing this before you echo the json encoded string:
header('Content-Type: application/json');

Commercial lease agreements… now that's something we are very familiar with. If you aren't well versed in commercial leasing, you may want to have someone help you understand the terminology and assist with the negotiations. Just the slightest variation in wording, as presented in the lease, can significantly impact your agreement. It's a good idea to know the nuts and bolts of negotiating a commercial real estate lease. SVN | Southgate Realty, in Hattiesburg, MS wrote an article with some excellent information for those who are going through the process of lease negotiations. In their article, they specifically wrote about research, clauses and extra costs to be aware of. We hope you find this article both interesting and beneficial.
Negotiating any sort of lease can be critical, but is a commercial real estate lease much different than say, an apartment lease? Creating and negotiating the best lease for your business can help set the ground for you to be successful. There are certain ways to ensure you have the best possible lease for your business. We have outlined a few tips on how to negotiate your commercial real estate lease like a pro.
Before shaking on any real estate transaction, you need to do your research. In the situation of lease negotiating, you need to research comparable leases in the area. You want to be sure you are not paying more than real estate is worth in the area. You are trying to get the best possible deal you can find, so you want to be prepared to talk down a landowner before renting/leasing. The security deposit can also be negotiated if you feel it is too much for the property. If you plan on leasing the property for a longer period of time than discussed on the lease, you may want to negotiate the conditions of lease renewal. Many landowners will want to increase rent after every lease renewal. You can negotiate a cap on these and assure the renewal cost is affordable for you.
A termination clause is a part of the lease which discusses what were to happen if the lease needed to be terminated early. This can happen for many reasons, but no matter what the reasons are, you do not want to be penalized more than you can afford. Most termination clauses do have some sort of penalty; however, you can….


I recently had the opportunity to meet with 3 winemakers from Italy, New Zealand and Chile. In each experience, I learned about the importance of the soil, surroundings (ie. Mediterranean Sea, landscape, cooler temperatures) and traditions that produced each bottle of wine. We talked about such details as the percentage of each type of grape that was put into a bottle of wine and how that dramatically impacts the ultimate taste. We looked at maps that showed us how regions became exclusive producers of certain types of wine like Chiantis. And of course, we talked about wine and food pairings.
I want to share three vineyards from across the world with you as not only are the wines delicious but there are stories to be told about each one.
Founded more than 140 years ago in Tuscany by cousins, Ilario and Leopoldo Ruffino, Ruffino is now a collection of the best vineyard estates that produce the top fine wines from the area. As the years went on, Ruffino continued to invest in new vineyards and became one of the first major wineries with vineyard estates in Italy's three most renowned wine producing regions: Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
Ruffino is known for their clean, balanced wines. Ruffino wines benefit from the mineral laden salts, the cooling influence of the Mediterranean Sea, the dry summers that wine grapes favor and the sun drenched hills of the area. The first Chianti imported to the U.S. was Ruffino. In 2010, Ruffino's Modus (modern Tuscan wine) was named one of Wine Spectator's top 100 Wines. While in 2015, Riserva Ducale Oro was awarded Chianti Classico Gran Selezione status.
Senior Global Brand Ambassador, Beppe D'Andrea, not only shared the history of Ruffino with us but taught us how to make pasta! We were truly paring wine and food together which was a fun experience. All of Ruffino wines are made to accompany food as you would expect of the Italian lifestyle.
South America's pioneers, Alexander and Carrie Vik, known for their building of luxury resorts, created VIK vineyard south of Santiago, Chile. This high end brand artistically designs their La Piu Belle bottles with a full wrap around label that is applied by hand to each bottle. Given their appreciation for art, this is in line with their style.
This is a destination wine experience. Located around an 11,000 acre vineyard where some of the country's finest wines are produced, you will find a luxury hotel and spa. The landscape is that of densely forested hills with a variety of soils. Situated between the Pacific Ocean to the West and the Andes mountains to the East, the vineyard benefits from both. Temperature shifts during the day from warmth to cool air protects the grapes while the Andes provides water for irrigation. Interestingly, only 20 percent of the grape production is for VIK wine. The remainder is sold to other wineries. That will change once the vines are of the same age as what is being used for VIK wines.
Milla Cala: Vibrant red fruit aromas, elegant tannins and smooth mouth feel. Fresh spices, perfume and berry aromas accented with hints of toast and maple. In the mouth, black cherry and plum are underscored by a hint of black licorice.
La Piu Belle: Intense and well balanced with notes of berries, wildflowers, spices and a touch of oak. Flavor of cranberries, the palate is incredibly fresh, silky smooth, with body and structure. Notice the artistically created label hand applied on each bottle.
VIK: Elegant and balanced wine, dynamic with high precision of tannins and great structure that deliver an exquisite mouth feel. A mixture of aromas, including strawberry, raspberry and vanilla. Spicy and savory dark berry fruit on the tongue tempered by an elegant structure.
While you would be most welcomed at the VIK luxury resort in Chile to experience their wines firsthand, you can also visit Fogo de Chao Brazilian restaurants who are offering two of the wines in their best-in-class wine program. They are the first U.S. restaurant brand to be pouring VIK Chilean wines. Both the Milla Cala and VIK are being offered now with the La Piu Belle coming soon. Enjoy a paring perfectly designed to highlight the best of the dish and the wine. Truly an experience a wine lover must have.
Started in 1996 in New Zealand by Kim and Erica Crawford, the Kim Crawford brand became known for their Sauvignon Blanc. With the location of the vineyards along the coastline where the grapes were treated to clean sea breezes and crisp nights as well as a long and dry autumn season, they were able to create that perfect balance of fruit and acidity. The more stony soils give wines a tropical fruit taste while the heavier soils give great intensity and grassier character.
The brand is now growing grapes in the Marlborough region of New Zealand. This is thought to be the best place to grow sauvignon grapes as it keeps the acid level high due to the landscape and temperature.
The Signature Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is a premium offering from the finest Marlborough grapes produced in the region. The top two vineyards go into this wine.
For the 2018 Sauvignon Blanc, 125 different vineyards went into the development of this wine.
The wines are to be enjoyed for up to two years but best timing is at 18 months. These are not wines to be stored in a wine room for years.
Along with their highly regarded Sauvignon Blanc, you will also find delicious Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Rose.
Taste is a creamy butterscotch!
Kim Crawford wines are easy to drink wines for any occasion. While known for their Sauvignon Blanc – perfect for the warmth of summer – explore their varietals as you will discover having a selection in your home is a good thing.

IND V SA
Vernon Philander: Onus on senior SA players to take responsibility
South Africa seamer Vernon Philander says the team is looking forward to the three-match Test series against India, which, he says, "is expected to do well".
VIZIANAGARAM 29 September, 2019 15:06 IST
Vernon Philander in action during South Africa's three-day warm-up match against Board President's XI in Vizianagaram. - G.P. Sampath Kumar
South Africa seamer Vernon Philander wants the team's senior players to take responsibility and throw the "first punch" at "big dogs" India in the upcoming three-match Test series starting October 2.
The opening Test against India will mark the start of South Africa's ICC World Test Championship campaign and Philander said it is going to be a tough battle first up.
"It's a tough start playing India in India but I don't think the South Africans would have wanted it any other way take the big dogs in their home ground," he was quoted as saying by the ICC.
"All of us are looking forward to this challenge and there are a lot of player-to-player challenges as well."

It will be the first Test series for South Africa since the retirements of experienced players such as Hashim Amla and Dale Steyn.
"Spotlight will be on a lot of big players to make a statement. Our job is to come here and give the first punch as India is obviously expected to do well," said Philander after the conclusion of the final day of the practice game.
"We are known as a team who starts slow so this time around we have to start well. There is a lot of pressure on players (but then) it's international cricket and you want to keep it that way."
Philander, who had picked up 15 wickets during South Africa's last Test series against India in 2018, wants the senior players to leave behind a legacy for the youngsters.
"We have lost some senior players and there are new players coming in and we want them to learn quickly.
"Hopefully we can use the experience of the senior players that are still around and mold this into a good Test side for the years to come. That's the most important part, to lay a good foundation for players to take forward," he said.
Philander, who made his Test debut in 2011, geared up for the opening Test by taking two wickets and scoring 48 during the drawn three-day warm-up game between Board President's XI and South Africa here.
"It's always good to have some time out in the middle. Fortunately for me, I came here a couple of days earlier to join the A side to get a bit of a game time," said the 34-year-old, who has taken 214 wickets at an astounding average of 21.64.
"Mainly it's just about getting a feel for the wickets. It is going to be a tough series, obviously, so the more time you spend out there in the middle, the better."
Talking about the World Test championship, Philander said: "The Test championship brings in a new dimension. It is a new sort of excitement for players. Also knowing that you will be playing against top teams more often (is great).
"We are obviously prepared to do well. When we do well, it gives you that better confidence and I'll take that confidence with me. It's been a long winter for me and I am feeling in really good nick."

Budget 2018-19: What Experts Say
The recently announced Budget 2018-19 has drawn strong reactions from all sides. While some are very impressed, some are very upset too. The re-introduction of long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax has been particularly discussed. Below is what various experts have to say about the new budget.
Infrastructure & Energy
Pranay Bhatia, Tax and Regulatory Services BDO India, says "the focus on developing ground infrastructure, education, agriculture and fisheries seems to be a step in the right direction."
"Budget 2018 recognizes the role of infrastructure sector as a growth driver, " according to Mr. Hemal Zobalia, Deloitte India.
"The finance minister has again shown interest to develop smart cities and bullet trains, but more action is expected on the ground level. Provision for rationalizing linkages of coal to power to railways have been made to make it more efficient. For oil and gas industry, rationalization in duty and cess structure has been proposed for petrol and high-speed diesel. To promote renewable energy sector, it has been proposed to fully exempt customs duty on import of solar tempered glass."
Rural India
According to Mr. Arvind Bali, CEO of Videocon Wallcam, "the allocations aimed towards rural India will increase consumption which boost industries and help in nation building."
"As part of the rural push, the government has addressed the crop burning issue and made allocations to help the farmer," says Mr. Abhijeet Biwas, Managing Director and Co-founder of 7i Advisors LLP.
He believes this will have a twin benefit on rural India as well as environmental changes.
"The proposals in the area of healthcare are clearly path-breaking, this is a welcome move not just to maintain healthy India but also to create several lakh(s) new jobs in the country as new healthcare facilities will come up in smaller districts and villages," says Mr. Antony Jacob, CEO, Apollo Munich Health Insurance.
"The decision to levy LTCG on equity at the rate of 10% is not surprising and is not likely to have any significant impact on the market," says Mr. G Pradeepkumar, CEO of Union Asset Management Company.
He says so because this still keeps equity as the most attractive asset class from taxation perspective since the holding period to be eligible for LTCG on most other asset classes is 3 years.
However, Mr. Vishal Gandhi, Founder and Director of Gandhi & Associates, believes that the move could have been deferred.
Prof. (Dr.) Sanjay Gupta, Director General, World University of Design (WUD), says that the budgetary allocation of Rs.1 lakh crore towards higher education and research is a welcome move.
Mr. Farhan Pettiwala, President of Enactus India looks at the budget from a skill development perspective and gives it a thumbs up for taking the decision to integrate teacher training program to further use technology to upgrade skills of teachers, thereby moving from blackboard to digital board.
"Focus on digital solution and new age technologies is a big push in terms of creating the right environment for the next level of development in India," says Mr. Arvind Bali, CEO of Videocon Wallcam
The FM has announced a 5% deviation from circle rates to remove hardship faced by the real estate industry.
However, Ms. Nidhi Seksaria, Partner in Real Estate, BDO India, believes this might not be enough as actual deviation of circle rates to prevailing market is in many cases as high as 30%.
Mr. Dharmesh Arora, CEO of Schaeffer India, says, "even though the budget has refrained from providing any direction to the country's automotive sector, we are hopeful that the impeding EV policy will provide clarity."
On the whole, he expects the Budget 2018 to create a positive investment climate.
Mr. Kapil Goswamy, CMD of BigBreaks.com found the budget a bit disappointing for not including anything much for the hospitality sector and not addressing the issue of high rates of GST on hotel tariff.
He also says that something could have been done to help the construction of new hotels.
Puneet Dalmia, Managing Director of Dalmia Bharat views the budget as very comprehensive and holistic.

Although not always well understood in South Africa, mediation is a powerful dispute resolution strategy. It should always be considered as one of the options in any dispute, and mediation attorneys should be consulted.
A simple story helps illustrate the philosophy and benefits of mediation. As the story goes, two parties had a dispute over a shipment of oranges. Time was of the essence, and as the parties' version of events differed from one another, there would be considerable delays in any litigation process. This was far from ideal as the oranges were starting to perish while the ship was docked at its port.
The parties had already spent a considerable amount of money on legal fees in instituting and defending the litigation respectively. They realised that litigation had become a "lose-lose" method of resolving the dispute, and decided that they had nothing to lose by agreeing to the assistance of a mediator. The parties didn't have any hope of reaching a settlement at all, as they were pitted against each other in the litigation process and were further from reaching a settlement now than they were when litigation began.
At the first meeting, the mediator asked each party why they wanted the shipment of oranges. The first party answered that he needed the oranges to make orange juice, while the other party said he needed the skin of the oranges to make marmalade. The parties were thus able to settle the dispute, with each party getting what he needed.
Skilled mediators, like the one in this story, assist parties to settle disputes by transforming "lose-lose" situations into "win-win" scenarios that often cannot be seen or realised without the assistance of a mediator.
The benefits of mediation include greater creativity in crafting a solution, speed of action, lower costs, and appropriateness in contexts where there is going to be an ongoing relationship between parties (such as in family law matters or between shareholders or partners). Each case should be considered on its own merits, and sometimes a combination of strategies can also be appropriate.
Gunston Strandvik offers mediation services in both commercial and family law contexts, and is part of a network of independent mediators.
