After a decade and a half of primary, secondary and tertiary education, it can be tempting to call it quits when it comes to further tax training. But if you're smart enough to make it to the end of a uni degree, you're probably smart enough to realise that deciding to take it easy is a recipe for career and income stagnation.
After a minimum of three years studying, you'll probably be keen to start making a dent in that student debt. Counterintuitive as it may seem, postgraduates, with a median salary in full-time work of $79,000, are likely to get their student debt paid off more quickly than those with only undergrad qualifications who, on average, earn noticeably less. Note that these are averages – a postgraduate qualification in tax is likely to be far more lucrative than one in, say, art history.
With around half of all high school students now proceeding to university, the brutal truth is that an undergraduate degree is an increasingly necessary but still insufficient qualification for a successful professional career.
A basic degree may get you in the door, but if you want to shimmy up that career ladder, you'll almost certainly need to undertake further study. The good news is you don't necessarily need to commit to something as time-consuming as a Master of Taxation, as a practically focused qualification, such as a Graduate Diploma of Applied Tax Law from The Tax Institute, will provide you with the skill set you need to take on more challenging roles.
Career success at least partly comes down to who you know as well as what you know. The impressive thing about undertaking education after you've started a career is you get the double whammy. That is, you learn valuable new skills and get the opportunity to network with other postgraduate students in your industry – people who may be in a position to offer you that dream job later down the track.
One of the advantages of learning later in life is that the educational institution you attend will recognise you have a living to earn and possibly a family demanding your attention. This being the case, institutions such as The Tax Institute put a lot of effort into designing flexible courses that can be completed in a way that causes students the least amount of stress and disruption.
Like they say, you should never stop learning – especially if you want to see your career soar.

Dalton Gray Russell
Published 5:13 pm Wednesday, February 17, 2021
Dalton Gray Russell, 87, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2021, in Bethesda, Md. Born on Sept. 11, 1933, in Suffolk, to Harvey and Ella Mae Russell (Holly), he was affectionately nicknamed "Doodlebug" by family.
After attending Suffolk High School, Dalton enlisted in the military at the age of 18, and served on active duty for almost 23 years, first as a U.S. Marine Corps Infantryman, and later as a U.S. Air Force Security Forces Noncommissioned Officer (NCO). His career included combat tours in Korea, for which he received a Bronze Star with Valor, and Vietnam, and overseas duty in Cuba and England.
While serving in England, Dalton attended an American NCO Club where he was introduced to his wife-to-be, Moreen, whom he asked to dance, on Dec. 23, 1960. Wasting no time, Dalton invited Moreen out on Jan. 2, 1961, and the new couple was inseparable until Dalton's military transfer from England with the U.S. Air Force, in January 1964. With vague plans to marry, Moreen always insisted that Dalton never formally proposed to her, Moreen visited Dalton at his next duty station, Clinton-Sherman Air Force Base, in Burns Flat, Okla., on March 1, 1964. The couple married three days later, on March 4, 1964. After retiring from the military in San Antonio, Texas, Dalton and Moreen moved to Suffolk, in December 1976, where Dalton was born and raised.

In Suffolk, Dalton was a longtime member of Community Baptist Church and an active member of Southside Baptist Church. The pride with which he maintained his home in Suffolk was always evident in the impeccably landscaped grounds surrounding it. Together, he and Moreen visited 18 foreign countries (many of them more than once) and traveled around the United States.
Dalton is survived by daughters, Nancy Jane Fleitell and Holly Ann Russell of Bethesda, Md.; and sister Sarah Copeland. He is predeceased by parents, Harvey and Ella Mae; brothers, Harvey and Vernon; and sister Shirley (Deans).
A memorial was held on Saturday, Feb. 6, 2021, at R. W. Baker & Co. Funeral Home and Crematory in Suffolk, before a burial service attended by immediate family members at Cypress Chapel Christian Church. Those wishing to express condolences may contact daughters Nancy or Holly.

Der Obermarkt ist ein Platz im historischen Zentrum von Worms.

Geografische Lage
Der Obermarkt lag nächst dem Inneren Neutor (zerstört im Pfälzischen Erbfolgekrieg 1689) und damit der Verbindung der Stadt nach Westen. Topografisch lag der Obermarkt oberhalb des (Haupt-)Marktes, auch "Untermarkt", daher die Bezeichnung.

Geschichte
Die älteste erhaltene Erwähnung des Obermarktes findet sich in einer Urkunde aus dem Jahr 1213. Der Platz wurde im Alltag als Marktplatz genutzt und diente bei besonderen Ereignissen als Veranstaltungsfläche. So ließ Kaiser Maximilian I. während des Reichstags zu Worms 1495 hier Turniere ausrichten.

Von 1906 bis 1955 verlief die Trasse der Wormser Straßenbahn, befahren von der Linie 2 (Barbarossaplatz – Worms Hauptbahnhof – Worms-Hochheim / Worms-Pfiffligheim), über den Obermarkt.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg war der Obermarkt bis 1975 ein innerstädtischer Parkplatz und wurde dann in die Fußgängerzone der Wormser Innenstadt einbezogen.

Bauwerke

 Die architektonische Schauseite des Amtsgerichts Worms ist auf den Obermarkt ausgerichtet, auch wenn es von seiner Adresse her zur Hardtgasse zählt.
 In der Mitte des Platzes steht ein Brunnen mit der beweglichen Skulptur "Schicksalsrad" von Gustav Nonnenmacher.

Prime Ministers of Australia
Billy Hughes
Prime Minister from 27 October 1915 to 9 February 1923
William Morris Hughes
Holding the record for the longest-running continuous service to parliament, Billy Hughes spent 58 years in state and federal politics.
Hughes was a member of federal parliament from the beginning of Federation in 1901 until 1952. Prior to that he spent seven years in the NSW Parliament. He was Prime Minister for seven-and-a-quarter years.
While Prime Minister during the First World War, he became known as the 'Little Digger' and was an advocate for compulsory military service.
During his long, stormy career he chopped and changed his political ties, representing four different parties, three of which expelled him. Hughes was also known as one of the fastest political wits in the history of the parliament.
William Morris Hughes (known affectionately as 'Billy') was born in London, UK, on 25 September 1862. He was the only child of Welsh immigrants to London. His father, William Hughes, was a carpenter at the House of Lords and a deacon in London's Welsh Baptist Church. His mother, Jane Morris, was a domestic servant, and died when he was seven.
After his mother's death, the young Hughes lived with her family at Llandudno, Wales, and attended the local grammar school until he turned 14. He spent the next five years as a pupil teacher at St Stephen's Anglican School, Westminster, where (he later claimed) his school inspector, the poet and critic Matthew Arnold, encouraged him to read widely.
Hughes migrated to Brisbane in 1884 and, after failing to find a teaching position, worked in a great variety of jobs including railways tally clerk, rock breaker, boundary rider, blacksmith's striker, well sinker, farm labourer, swagman and cook on a coastal ship. This last job was probably how he arrived in Sydney around 1886.
In 1886 he married Elizabeth Cutts, with whom he had seven children. In 1891 he and Elizabeth opened a small mixed business in Balmain, Sydney, which, among other things, sold books and political tracts. He also worked as a door-to-door umbrella repairer to survive.
Because he was attracted to radical politics, Hughes joined the Socialist League and became a fiery street corner orator.
Time in Australian unions
In 1893 Hughes became an Australian Workers' Union organiser, travelling around western New South Wales to sign up members and establish Labor Electoral Leagues. (These were the forerunners of Labor Party branches.)
Following informal work as an adviser to the Wharf Labourer's Union during the maritime strike of 1890, he became the union's secretary. He then founded the Trolley, Draymen and Carters' Union, and became its president. He gained awards for both unions, including minimum pay rates and the eight-hour day. In 1902, Hughes formed and led the Waterside Workers Federation of Australia.
Hughes was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as the Solidarity Labor Party candidate for Lang, Sydney, on 17 July 1894. Over the next six years, he acquired a reputation as a clever political strategist and persuasive debater, whose witty and sharp speeches could fill the House.
Entry to federal politics
Hughes became the leading Labor advocate for Federation and for a strong central government. He was elected as Labor candidate for West Sydney at the first federal election on 29 March 1901. He held this seat through the next five general elections.
While a politician, Hughes also studied law and was admitted as a barrister in 1903. He subsequently represented union clients.
Hughes held many portfolios. He was appointed Minister for External Affairs in John Christian Watson's short-lived Labor government, Attorney-General in Andrew Fisher's three Labor governments (1908–1909, 1910–1913 and 1914–1915), and Deputy Prime Minister in the latter two.
Elizabeth had died in 1906, and Hughes married Mary Campbell in 1911. They had one child together.
Labor Party anti-conscription advertisement
Prime Minister William Hughes
Hughes was Deputy Leader of the parliamentary Labor Party from 1907, and so succeeded Fisher as Prime Minister on 27 October 1915 when Fisher retired. Committing himself to a vigorous 'win-the-war' policy, he proved to be a tireless wartime Prime Minister.
Wartime and conscription
Hughes travelled to London in early 1916 to represent Australia in UK war cabinet meetings. He was welcomed enthusiastically wherever he went. He was offered a cabinet position because of his effective advocacy of 'Total War'.
He donned a slouch hat to visit Australian troops serving in Europe, and revelled in the nickname they bestowed upon him — 'the Little Digger'. He gave undertakings to the UK Government to boost military recruitment in Australia.
Hughes returned to Australia on 31 July 1916, and began advocating compulsory military service to lift recruitment numbers. He announced a referendum on the matter on 30 August. The New South Wales branch of the Labor Party expelled Hughes on 4 September for promoting conscription.
On 14 September he introduced into federal parliament legislation for a referendum on conscription, which was passed with opposition support. Six ministers, including his deputy, Frank Tudor, resigned over the issue.
The referendum on 28 October 1916, which followed bitter, divisive campaigns by both pro- and anti-conscriptionists, rejected Hughes' conscription proposal by a slender majority.
On 14 November 1916 a meeting of the federal parliamentary Labor Party caucus debated a motion to dismiss Hughes from leadership. Hughes and 23 supporters walked out of the meeting and quit the party. Frank Tudor was elected leader in his place.
Formation of the Nationalist Party
Hughes resigned the prime ministership on quitting the Labor Party, but the Governor-General (RC Munro-Ferguson) immediately recommissioned him to form a new ministry from among his followers.
He then continued as Prime Minister, heading a minority government of his group, which called itself the National Labor Party and governed with the support of the former Liberal opposition.
Hughes' National Labor Party and the Liberal Party merged as a new party, the Nationalist Party. This new party won government at the general election on 5 May 1917. Hughes also switched to the seat of Bendigo at this election.
Still determined to win the debate on compulsory military service, Hughes instituted a second conscription referendum for December 1917. This referendum resulted in an increased 'No' vote.
In April 1918 Hughes and former Prime Minister Joseph Cook, then Minister for the Navy, left Australia for London to attend the Imperial Conference. Hughes remained away for 16 months, staying on to attend the post-war Versailles Peace Conference, the treaty of which he signed on 28 June 1919 on behalf of Australia.
At the Versailles Conference in 1919, Hughes aligned Australia with nations demanding heavy reparations from Germany. He was in frequent conflict with President Woodrow Wilson of USA, the leader of a moderate faction.
In one famous exchange, Wilson, trying to cut Hughes down to size by alluding to Australia's minor conference role, asked him who he represented. Hughes replied that he spoke for '60,000 war dead' — a pointed reminder that though Australia's population numbered less than a twentieth of that of the USA, its tally of war dead was more than half the USA's.
He succeeded in securing Australian control of Germany's colonial possessions in New Guinea and the adjacent archipelagos.
Decreasing popularity
After returning from Versailles, Hughes progressively lost control over his government. His Nationalist Party lost their majority at the general election in December 1919 and had to rely on support of the newly emerged Country Party (CP), which proved antagonistic to Hughes.
The Nationalists were increasingly torn by internal dissent, much of it arising from dissatisfaction with Hughes' leadership. At a general election on 16 December 1922 Hughes switched again to the New South Wales seat of North Sydney (and held it through the next 10 general elections).
During this campaign five Victorian and South Australian Nationalists fought on the 'Hughes Must Go' platform; the party lost further ground. During the next two months, as the Nationalists and the CP sought some agreement with each other, the CP made it clear that any coalition arrangement would depend on Hughes' departure as Nationalist leader.
Hughes resigned as Prime Minister on 9 February 1923, and recommended to the Governor-General the appointment of Stanley Melbourne Bruce as his replacement. Bruce was commissioned that day.
Water carriers from the 6th Battery
Later political life
In 1929 Hughes precipitated the fall of the Bruce-Page coalition government by voting with Labor against the government on a censure motion. Bruce then expelled Hughes from the parliamentary Nationalist Party on 22 August 1929.
Shortly after, on 10 September, Hughes moved the deferral of an arbitration bill, which Labor and four other rebel Nationalists supported, effectively bringing down the government. Hughes hoped Labor would invite him back as leader, but bitterness within the party over the split of 1916 was too strong for that to happen.
In October 1930 Hughes launched a new party — the Australia Party — which soon withered away after polling poorly in New South Wales state elections later that month. He joined the United Australia Party (UAP), formed under JA Lyons' leadership.
The UAP defeated James Henry Scullin's Labor government at a general election on 19 December 1931 and assumed office on 6 January 1932.
In UAP governments Hughes represented Australia at the League of Nations assembly in 1932. He became Minister for Health and Repatriation in 1934, and campaigned against the falling birth rate under the slogan 'Populate or Perish'.
He was also Vice-President of the Executive Council 1934–1935 and 1936–1937; Minister for External Affairs 1937–1939; Attorney-General again 1938–1941; Minister for Industry 1938–1940; Minister for Navy 1940–41; and Member of War Cabinet 1939–1941.
Time in the United Australia Party
After Lyons' death in April 1939, Hughes, now 76, was narrowly defeated for the UAP leadership (and therefore the prime ministership) by the party's rising star, Robert Gordon Menzies, of whom he was highly critical. He once commented that in his opinion, 'Menzies couldn't lead a flock of homing pigeons'.
When Menzies resigned the prime ministership on August 1941, Hughes became the UAP leader, but not prime minister. This position went to CP leader Arthur William Fadden. Hughes retained the UAP leadership until August 1943.
When John Joseph Curtin's Labor government took office in October 1941, Hughes worked cooperatively with Curtin as a member of the Advisory War Council. He opted to remain a member of the council after the UAP withdrew from it in 1944, for which the UAP expelled him.
He joined the newly formed Liberal Party in 1944, and remained a back-bencher after Menzies led the party to victory at the December 1949 general election. At this election, following electoral redistribution, he took the seat of Bradfield, New South Wales, and retained it at the 1951 election.
He had thus been elected at all 21 general elections in the half century from 1901 to 1951.
A record of service
At his death in 1952 Hughes had spent over 58 continuous years as a member of parliament, almost 51 of these in federal parliament. He was the last politically active member out of all those who had entered parliament in 1901.
His period of membership remains a record in Australia. He has been the only one to have been Prime Minister on both sides of politics — Labor and non-Labor.
Hughes died in Lindfield, New South Wales, on 28 October 1952. His state funeral in Sydney was one of the largest Australia has seen. Some 450,000 spectators lined the streets to watch the passage of a flag-draped coffin on a gun carriage accompanied by a three kilometre-long procession of mourners.
Hughes' well-known support for conscription and his attempts at its introduction required the passage first of the Military Service Referendum Act 1916, after which the referenda were put and failed on both occasions.
Hughes' second government (1917–1919) introduced and had passed the following legislation.
The Australian Soldiers Repatriation Act 1917 established a Repatriation Commission to regulate assistance and benefits to returned soldiers and to the widows and children of soldiers killed.
The War Service Homes Act 1918 provided mortgage and rent assistance to returned servicemen.
The Electoral Act 1918 established preferential voting and is still in force under this title, though many times amended since 1918.
The fourth Hughes government 1919–1923 repealed the War Precautions Act.
Other important legislation included:
The Air Navigation Act 1920 regulated civil aviation, as a result of Australia's agreement to the international convention held in Paris in 1919 — a use of the 'external affairs' power.
The Butter Agreement Act 1920 was early legislation to regulate the marketing of primary produce, and one of the first of many similar primary industry marketing acts.

L'Oréal USA Commits to Having 100-Percent Sustainable Packaging by 2025
The giant joins more than 60 organizations in the U.S. Plastics Pact.
By Marci Robin
The beauty industry is deeply dependent upon plastic — perhaps indelibly — and that relationship has always posed an environmental challenge that, until recently, few business leaders have meaningfully attempted to address. But it seems the ecological urgency that plastic waste poses is finally being not only understood but confronted. One of the ways this is happening is through the creation of a new collaborative called the U.S. Plastics Pact, and one of the organizations, agencies, and brands joining its mission is one of the most recognizable names in beauty: L'Oréal.
"L'Oréal is committed to doing our part to protect the planet from the global climate crisis we are facing, and we are transforming our business to do so," said Danielle Azoulay, L'Oréal USA's head of corporate social responsibility and sustainability. "We are proud to be part of the U.S. Plastics Pact and join over 60 organizations in working together toward system-wide change toward a circular economy for plastic in the United States."
According to a press release from L'Oréal USA, the U.S. Plastics Pact — led by The Recycling Partnership and World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and launched as part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation global Plastics Pact network — seeks to bring together public-private stakeholders across the plastics value chain to come up with a new approach to the way plastic is designed, used, and reused. As part of this pact, L'Oreal is committing to defining a list of packaging to be designated as problematic or unnecessary by 2021 and take measures to eliminate that packaging by 2025. Also to be completed by 2025: ensuring all plastic packaging is 100-percent reusable, recyclable, or compostable, take ambitious steps toward recycling or composting 50 percent of plastic packaging, and making sure the average recycled content or responsibly sourced bio-based content in plastic packaging will be 30 percent.
The timing for L'Oréal couldn't be better. Earlier this summer, the company launched L'Oréal for the Future, a sustainability initiative with goals set for 2030. "Recognizing the growing environmental and social challenges the planet is facing, L'Oréal for the Future accelerates the beauty leader's transformation towards a business model that respects planetary boundaries and reinforces its commitments to both sustainability and inclusion around the world," the press release reads.
There's a lot of work to be done, and the immediate next steps for the U.S. Plastics Pact include creating a roadmap to lay out the steps to achieving the outlined targets. For more information on what L'Oréal and other members of the U.S. Plastics Pact are doing, visit usplasticspact.org.

Rogue Legacy (PlayStation 4) review
"We're all a little coprolaliac. "
Rogue Legacy is a perfect storm of challenging gameplay, simple basic mechanics, and RPG-style character growth to be immediately addictive.
At its core, Rogue Legacy is a roguelike platformer, with all of the randomly generated levels that go with that. The twist is that the game isn't over when your character dies. Instead, you'll pick one of the character's children to control (while the castle rebuilds itself), followed by one of their children, generation after generation. Each character is unique. One child might be a miner, who can seek out treasure but has low stats. Another child might be a barbarian, who has high HP but low strength and magic. On top of the different jobs, characters can have one or two other unique traits, such as gigantism or dwarfism, meaning the character will be huge or tiny, affecting the reach of their sword swings and the size of their hitboxes. A colourblind character will see the world in black and white, while a clumsy character will break things just by touching them. Even multiple characters with the same job will play slightly differently thanks to these traits.
All of these characters can be improved using Rogue Legacy's progression system. By spending gold you find while exploring the castle, you can add new rooms to your family's manor, or upgrade existing ones. These rooms can unlock new classes, improve all characters' base stats, or unlock new tools and features. The RPG elements don't stop there, either. There's a blacksmith, who can create new equipment for you using blueprints you find in the castle, an an enchantress, who can sell you special runes that will give you new abilities and traits. Runes can allow you to do nifty things like dash to the side, double jump, or even fly. This all adds a layer of depth, though it can sometimes make the game feel like a bit of a grind. You will make many (enjoyable) trips into the castle just to collect gold to improve your stats and equipment.
Your characters are constantly improving as you play, giving Rogue Legacy a nice sense of progression that other similar roguelike platformers lack. Your basic tool set is simple and easy to understand, but you have so many more options beyond them. Want to build your characters? Play as a miner or spelunker, equip runes and equipment that increase the amount of gold you find, head into the castle, and hoard treasure until you've breathed your last breath. Want to take on one of the bosses? Play as a barbarian and wander around until you find the boss' lair. Then either take him on or keep exploring. When you die, pick a more boss-friendly class, and use the Architect to prevent the castle from randomizing at the cost of a good chunk of the gold you find once you enter. Then use one of the teleporters to jump right to the boss' room. No need to wander around again. The sheer number of options, thanks to the clever ways the mechanics work together, are what make Rogue Legacy stand out among its contemporaries.
It's good that the mechanics evolve as you play, because, like all procedurally generated games, you'll start to recognize the various room layouts after a short while. This is an unfortunate weakness of the genre, but Rogue Legacy does enough interesting things to keep it from getting stale too quickly.
Gameplay isn't all fluff, either. Even without the character building and planning, the mechanics are simple but solid. Your basic move pool is essentially limited to running, jumping, attacking, and using whatever single spell your character knows. Jumping is consistent and platforming feels good. The basic sword attack has just enough speed and range to keep things challenging without making you feel defenseless. The aerial downward sword stab (similar to Link's downward stab in Zelda II) is a more advanced technique that requires practice and comes with an inherent risk, but is handy once you've mastered it. Spells can be legitimate magic, like the ability to stop time for a large drain on your MP, or simple weapons, like axes that fly through the air in an arc, or knives that travel straight ahead. Some of these spells can move through walls, while others can't, and figuring out which spell does which is a matter of trial and error. The same applies to enemy attacks, and even enemies themselves. The fireballs from a Starburst will disappear when they hit a wall, but fireballs from an Eyeball will continue to travel until they leave the area. There's not really any rhyme or reason to it, but there are few enough projectile and flying enemy types to make them easy to remember once you've been exposed to them enough.
Rogue Legacy takes its simple, solid foundation and builds upon it with a lot of clever extra mechanics and abilities and a few fun quirks. Its retro art style and personality help it present itself well, and the constant character progression will suck you in and keep you doing just-one-more-run after just-one-more-run for hours. Rogue Legacy is one of those games that's greater than the sum of its parts. Don't miss it.
Staff review by Rhody Tobin (July 29, 2014)
Rhody likes to press the keys on his keyboard. Sometimes the resulting letters form strings of words that kind of make sense when you think about them for a moment. Most times they're just random gibberish that should be ignored. Ball-peen wobble glurk.

Funny story: Yellow Tail, the number 1 Australian wine brand in the US, is to launch in the UK a music and wine promotional campaign. British wine consumers will have the privilege to drink their Rosé with R&B, their Bubbles with Classic Pop and their Chardonnay with 80s rock.
Will this "alliance" between a wine and a DJ convince British consumers to drink more of Yellow Tail? Maybe since Yellow Tail also offers the chance to win one of 30 Yellow Tail remixing kits, which includes a six-pack of wine and CDs. On the brand management standpoint, Yellow Tail is the epithom of mass market brand and is bought as a convenience – like milk and soap. This strategy could work.

Lack-of-congestion pricing: Should suburbs up-charge city dwellers?
As New York's Legislature considers charging drivers extra to travel south of 61st Street, suburbs could look to return the favor.
Lack-of-congestion pricing: Should suburbs up-charge city dwellers? As New York's Legislature considers charging drivers extra to travel south of 61st Street, suburbs could look to return the favor.

Events such as the Gran Fondo New York 100, a 100-mile course starting in New York and winding through Rockland County up to Bear Mountain then back to New York, could be a windfall for suburbs with a mind to make money on the backs, and handlebars, of New York City residents.

Historic Hudson Valley's "Great Jack o' Lantern Blaze" in Cortlandt Manor has been building a strong following among Manhattanites who plan a weekend "in the country" taking in the Halloween attraction and touring other local haunts. Its popularity could make it a cash cow, if the suburbs ever decided to add a New York City resident surcharge on tickets to annual attractions. Jennifer Mitchell
Now that the New York state Legislature is considering congestion pricing for drivers traveling south of 61st Street in Manhattan, it got us thinking: What if the suburbs started up-charging those in the five boroughs for some of their favorite things in our neck of the woods?
Here, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, is our unscientific and non-comprehensive list of "Suburban things for which New York City should pay extra." Consider it lack-of-congestion pricing.
A budgetary MetLife line
Taking the train from Penn Station to the Meadowlands to see the Giants or Jets play? Please fork over an extra $8. Manhattanites will hardly miss it. It's just the change from a $20 bill after you buy your first $12 beer.

Lycra loot
Nyack is lovely to bike to from the George Washington Bridge. How about bicyclist tolls on Route 9W in Palisades? $4 per axle to cross into Rockland. (Or we could institute a Gothamite Lycra tax.)
While we're at it, the bike path on the new bridge between Rockland and Westchester — set to open in the second half of the year — could have a Gothamite-only bicycle EZPass. (We can charge them extra if they call it the Cuomo bridge. It will always be the Tappan Zee to locals.)
A hike in income
New Yorkers wanting to stretch their legs on the 200 miles of trails in Harriman State Park in Rockland and Orange counties are welcome … if they remember to pack an extra $5 into their hiking boots.
Shore source of funds
Heading down to the Jersey Shore? Beach badges for New Yorkers would only cost $10 extra. It's like no other place in the world, for cooling off and people-watching.
The adrenaline-pumping Kingda Ka rollercoaster at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, could prove a windfall, if the suburbs ever decided to up-charge Gothamites for their amenities and attractions. Consider it "Kingda Kangestion pricing." (Photo: Tom Spader/Staff photographer (~ nfs))
Rollercoaster cash
Six Flags Great Adventure is a great Jersey destination, with a host of great coasters. Want to ride the 456-foot Kingda Ka rollercoaster, which takes its riders from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds? New Yorkers only pay an extra $3.50. Call it "Kinga Kangestion pricing."
Like your rollercoasters old school? Nostalgic New Yorkers could take in the Dragon Coaster at Rye Playland in Westchester. (Many of them already do.) Under lack-of-congestion pricing, that ride would only cost New York City dwellers an extra 50 cents a ride.
Nickel and diming
Don't want to pump your own gas? Jersey's got you covered. But your NYC zip code will up-charge a nickel per gallon. Or maybe a dime. Or a nickel and a dime.
Gas fumes and roller coasters have you feeling nauseous? So does the thought of suburbanites paying more to get to work from areas not served by mass transit, to benefit five-borough dwellers.
The "10-point Plan to Transform and Fund the MTA" — announced in February by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio — would pay for the city's crumbling mass-transit system by creating "dedicated and sustained funding streams for the agency."
That includes an Internet sales tax and a cannabis excise tax — and congestion pricing. Money from all three, their plan says, would go into a "lockbox" for MTA capital projects.
The New York City suburbs could certainly figure out a way to do their own version of the same — call it lack-of-congestion pricing — making those in the Greatest City in the World pay a greater share to fill a suburban lockbox.
But they likely won't.
Hey, we don't even charge New Yorkers anything to get to us now. All those toll bridges and tunnels are only one-way: Manhattan bound.

Role of Counseling to Promote Adherence in Healthy Lifestyle Medicine: Strategies to Improve Exercise Adherence and Enhance Physical Activity.
Although healthy lifestyles (HL) offer a number of health benefits, nonadherence to recommended lifestyle changes remains a frequent and difficult obstacle to realizing these benefits. Behavioral counseling can improve adherence to an HL. However, individuals' motivation for change and resistance to altering unhealthy habits must be considered when developing an effective approach to counseling. In the present article, we review psychological, behavioral, and environmental factors that may promote adherence and contribute to nonadherence. We discuss two established models for counseling, motivational interviewing and the transtheoretical model of behavior change, and provide an example of how these approaches can be used to counsel patients to exercise and increase their levels of physical activity.


The Tinseltown Terror did what no other PCBL team has ever done and won the 18+ National Division Championship in the 2003 Arizona World Series. The Terror have been competing in the 18+ National Division World Series since 1999, losing every year in the semi-final game. This year they not only made it past the semi-finals but continued on to win it all, going undefeated, a 8-0 mark. This is the first year that a PCBL team has brought home the World Series title for the 18+ National Division.
The Terror didn't have an easy road though. Starting the round robin at 3-0, in game 4, against the Bay Area Rockies, the Terror fell behind 5-1 through six innings. They answered in the 7th though, with three doubles from Mike McNeely, T.J. Runnels and Jeff Bowne to tie the game at 5-5. Tinseltown exploded again in the top of the ninth when T.J. Runnels hit his second double of the game to give the Terror the lead. Then with the bases loaded and two out, Vince Kolbe blasted a base clearing double off the right center wall to give the Terror a 9-5 lead. That's all they would need as Kolbe then took the mound to close the game by pitching a scoreless ninth. The now 4-0 Terror went on to win game 5 by the score of 7-5. Robert Verstraeton took the hill in the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded and one out. Verstraeton ended Brooklyn's threat quickly by striking out the first batter and getting the next guy to ground out.
The Terror finished the round robin at 5-0 to give them the number one seed and a buy straight to the semi-finals. The semi-finals would be a little bit tougher though. The Arizona Mavericks, Tinseltown's opponent in the semi-final, kept the game close and took a 5-4 lead into the bottom of the seventh. Justin Urbas knocked a two-out single with a runner on third to tie the game at 5. In the eighth, Arizona responded back by hitting a two-out homerun to take back the lead. With the Terror down, 6-5 in the bottom of the eighth, once again Tinseltown came through in the clutch. Nick Gontmaher, with two outs and a runner on second, hit an 0-2 pitch for a line drive single to even at the score at 6-6. Ivan Hernandez pitched the top of ninth and cut up Arizona quickly by striking out the side. The Terror got things going right away in the bottom of the ninth when Donovan Wallace lead off with a single. After Red Junor pinch ran and stole second base, T.J. Runnels bunted him over to third. With one out, Jeff Bowne drilled a base hit up the middle driving in the winning run.
In the championship game, Tinseltown had to face the Kansas City Titans. The last two years, Kansas City had knocked out the Terror in the semi-final. This time, they would meet in the finale. Kansas City's starting pitcher, Jarrod Titus, was the one who beat Tinseltown in both previous years, throwing a complete game each time. Terror's manager, Justin Urbas says his team has been waiting all year to face Titus again. "Titus, wow, what can I say, he's definitely one of the toughest pitchers I've ever faced. His slider's nasty. You know it's coming like every pitch and you still can't hit it." Tinseltown got to him this year. Jeff Bowne and Justin Urbas set the tempo by leading off the game with consecutive line drive singles. Vince Kolbe hit a sacrafice fly to drive in the Terror's first run and give them the early lead. The Terror added on again in the fourth with four consecutive hits from Elvis Nelson, Mike McNeely, Tighe Curran and Nick Gontmaher. Gontmaher's single drove in two which capped a three run inning for the Terror to give them a 4-0 lead. Tinseltown's starter, James Carroll, was cruising, shuting down Kansas City through seven innings, allowing only 5 hits and no runs. In the eighth, Kansas City threatened by scoring two runs off of Carroll, making the score 4-2. Tighe Curran, came in with two outs to get the final out in the eighth. In the top of the ninth, Curran started the inning but got into a little bit of trouble. With two outs and runners on first and second for Kansas City, manager Justin Urbas took out Curran and brought in Ivan Hernandez. Hernandez threw three straight fastballs by the next batter to clinch the championship for Tinseltown.
The Terror's offense was lead by T.J. Runnels, Elvis Nelson, and Justin Urbas.
Runnels hit .455 with 1 HR, 7 RBI's and 7 Runs scored. He also had a .773 slugging%.
Nelson hit .385, 1 HR, 4 RBI's, 6 Runs scored and a .654 slugging%.
Urbas hit .375, 4 RBI's, 6 Runs scored and had an on-base% of .429.
Jeff Bowne, .308, 7 Runs scored, .419 on-base%.
Vince Kolbe, .269, 1 HR, 10 RBI's, .538 slugging%.

It went absolutely berserk, people were climbing the big tops tent poles and climbing through the hole in the top and sliding down the outside of the tent.
20 years has elapsed since the release of Galactaphonic and over those two decades is your view of the album the same now as it was then?
20 years has given me time to listen to it again with fresh ears and realise how cool an album it is, I had not listened to it since it came out, there were a hand full of songs that were regulars in our live set that have always been familiar but listening to them in context with the album has been a really cool experience, I have a new appreciation for it and I find myself liking the songs that we never played. They seem new. The album has a great energy to it, it's loud and fuzzy and fast.
With 20/20 hindsight do you feel that with Galactaphonic you crystallised a time and a sound in the Australian musical landscape?
I don't think there is another record that sounds like it, it is a unique sound, big muff pedals on 10, wahwah on 10, distorted vocals, rumbling bottom end and drums swinging and pounding, yet its melodic, full of hooks, is sweet and electrically charged, we consciously went into it with a reactionary approach, we wanted to make our record, an Australian record, something that reflected our live sound and not the sound that had been manufactured on our first album, we chose Trafalgar because it was the home of two of our favourite classic Aussie albums, Radios Appear by Radio Birdman and Stoneage Romeos by Hoodoo Gurus, we picked Paul McKercher to Produce it because he was young, had a great energy, was Australian and knew our sound better than anyone. We were at our peak, we had just had a few very productive years and there was a lot of attention on us, but at the time, I think for us it was more about taking back control of our creation.
During your career you would have witnessed many changes in the music industry and one of those being rise and fall of small venues supporting local music. How important was a strong following and loyal fan base to your success?
Very important, our success was based on playing the suburbs and regional Australia, especially coastal towns, we built it up by playing as often as we could, we would play places like Liverpool and Fairfield and Penrith and Parramatta, Taree, The Entrance, anywhere that would have us. Wonthaggi, Warnambool wherever! When we played city shows people would travel from the suburbs into the city and pack the place out. It gave us a good national audience and many of them have stuck by us and for that we are very grateful.
Seeing you play many times at the Annandale, they were always electric shows but for you what has been one of the most memorable gigs and why?
I tend not to remember too much about shows, at the time I am usually right in the moment, I kind of disappear, it's weird. I usually remember little things like Paul and I carrying on with funny stage banter or whatever, but there are some big moments that I remember, like at Livid festival in 92 or 93 I think, when we played in the Big Top, the crowd were chanting our name before we came on and when we started it went absolutely berserk, people were climbing the big tops tent poles and climbing through the hole in the top and sliding down the outside of the tent, one of the main poles started to shift and lean, we had to stop the show, I got the crowd to work together to lift it up and set it straight and they did, then we continued playing, that was pretty wild. Also an early show at the Hopetoun, I think it was an afternoon show, in summer, it was really hot, it was packed, It was just a great show.
Meeting so many different musicians and interesting characters throughout the years, were there any words of wisdom spoken to you that really resonated with you and altered the way you approach your music?
Kram said once to "embrace the beautiful stuff" its too easy for a rock band of boys to always try to be tough, I know so many people that are trapped into the way of thinking that it all has to be heavy and fast and brutal, because otherwise you are less of a man or something !? I think that's total bullshit, something that we have always done is had a bit of quiet beauty mixed into our music, ever since "acid rain" it gives more depth to the music.
I remember speaking with Money Mark, his association with the Beastie Boys and the passing of founding member MCA. He spoke of the legacy of his music and contribution to music globally. With the recent passing of Jay, do you feel that the 20th anniversary of Galactaphonic is perhaps one of the most fitting ways to remember his work, contribution to the Australian music scene and celebration of a great friend?
Jays spirit is entwined into Galactaphonic, weaved into the bassline on every song.
How has the band dynamic changed with Luke taking over bass duties?
Luke is a very solid bass player, he learns quickly and has an amazing bass sound, as well as being an all-round top bloke. He is already a part of the family, he grew up playing music in the Curley jam room in Tarrawanna like I did, he has always been in bands with Mick Curley ( Lenny and Jays little brother) Jay actually gave him a few lessons when he was a whipper snapper, replacing Jay is not really an option we want to consider right now, as for Luke taking on the duties, he's perfect for it. Luke still has Bruce and HyTest and other projects as well, so we are fitting things in around everyone's commitments. Its been fun getting back into the practice room relearning Galactaphonic, its sounding great and we love catching up with each other, we don't see each other too often outside of band stuff anymore, so getting back together for practice is a great way to catch up.
When first starting out in a band it is all consuming and nothing else really matters but as you get older you tend to have more in your life and other equally rewarding distractions. Do you find what you all do outside of the band helps continue to shape Tumbleweeds ethos and direction?
Life becomes busy, the band is a timeless distraction.
What does music give you that nothing else does?
Was it a difficult process accumulating the additional songs and B-sides for SuperGalactaphonic as records companies can be notoriously cagey when relinquishing ownership / copyrights.
No it was easy, once we passed the idea passed Universal and discovered they were into the idea, the project just snowballed, the people at Universal, particularly Liam, made it all a very easy and enjoyable experience.
You are about to embark on a national tour, will you be supported by any bands that you played with back in the day?
Yeah Smudge are playing the Sydney show at Manning bar that will be so awesome! and Hoss are playing at the Corner hotel in Melbourne with us, can't wait to see them again.

Greenbelt, MD – Fortunately for NASA scientists today, Apollo-era leaders had the foresight to save much of the 842 pounds (382 kilograms) of Moon soil and rocks retrieved by NASA astronauts 50 years ago for future generations. They figured new crops of scientists, using instruments of their time, would be able to probe the samples with unprecedented rigor.
Now, the future that Apollo-era scientists envisioned has come. Their successors, many of whom weren't even born when the last astronauts scooped up the Moon samples they'll now be probing in their labs, are ready to take a giant leap towards answering long-standing questions about the evolution of our solar system.

NASA collects Meteorites in Antarctica
Written by Bill Steigerwald
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center
Greenbelt, MD – On rare calm days, the most striking thing you notice at an altitude of more than 8,000 feet on an Antarctic glacier is the silence.
"There was just no sound; no air handling equipment, no leaves rustling, no bugs, no planes or cars. So quiet you just heard your heartbeat," said Barbara Cohen, planetary scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Most of the time, however, there is a steady howl of bitter cold wind flowing down from the East Antarctic ice plateau. With a summer temperature hovering around zero Fahrenheit, "It's the wind that makes you cold," Cohen said.

NASA's Cassini mission and Hubble Space Telescope provides new details about moons Enceladus and Europa
Written by Felicia Chou
NASA Headquarters
Washington, D.C. – Two veteran NASA missions are providing new details about icy, ocean-bearing moons of Jupiter and Saturn, further heightening the scientific interest of these and other "ocean worlds" in our solar system and beyond. The findings are presented in papers published Thursday by researchers with NASA's Cassini mission to Saturn and Hubble Space Telescope.
In the papers, Cassini scientists announce that a form of chemical energy that life can feed on appears to exist on Saturn's moon Enceladus, and Hubble researchers report additional evidence of plumes erupting from Jupiter's moon Europa.

NASA's Dawn spacecraft reveals new areas where Ice may hide on Ceres

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Pasadena, CA – At first glance, Ceres, the largest body in the main asteroid belt, may not look icy. Images from NASA's Dawn spacecraft have revealed a dark, heavily cratered world whose brightest area is made of highly reflective salts — not ice.
But newly published studies from Dawn scientists show two distinct lines of evidence for ice at or near the surface of the dwarf planet. Researchers are presenting these findings at the 2016 American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco.

NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover discovers evidence that Mars Surface Material contributes to Atmosphere
Written by Elizabeth Zubritsky
Pasadena, CA – NASA's Curiosity rover has found evidence that chemistry in the surface material on Mars contributed dynamically to the makeup of its atmosphere over time. It's another clue that the history of the Red Planet's atmosphere is more complex and interesting than a simple legacy of loss.
The findings come from the rover's Sample Analysis at Mars, or SAM, instrument suite, which studied the gases xenon and krypton in Mars' atmosphere. The two gases can be used as tracers to help scientists investigate the evolution and erosion of the Martian atmosphere.
Processes in Mars' surface material can explain why particular xenon (Xe) and krypton (Kr) isotopes are more abundant in the Martian atmosphere than expected, as measured by NASA's Curiosity rover. Cosmic rays striking barium (Ba) or bromine (Br) atoms can alter isotopic ratios of xenon and krypton. (NASA/GSFC/JPL-Caltech)

Washington, D.C. – NASA's first asteroid sampling mission launched into space at 7:05pm EDT Thursday from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, beginning a journey that could revolutionize our understanding of the early solar system.
"Ee celebrate a huge milestone for this remarkable mission, and for this mission team," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. "We're very excited about what this mission can tell us about the origin of our solar system, and we celebrate the bigger picture of science that is helping us make discoveries and accomplish milestones that might have been science fiction yesterday, but are science facts today."

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter discovers clues to swirling patterns on the Moon
Greenbelt, MD – A powerful combination of observations and computer simulations is giving new clues to how the moon got its mysterious "tattoos" — swirling patterns of light and dark found at over a hundred locations across the lunar surface.
"These patterns, called 'lunar swirls,' appear almost painted on the surface of the moon," said John Keller of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "They are unique; we've only seen these features on the moon, and their origin has remained a mystery since their discovery." Keller is project scientist for NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission, which made the observations.

NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover examines Martian Atmosphere to learn about it's past
Written by Guy Webster
Pasadena, CA – NASA's Curiosity rover is using a new experiment to better understand the history of the Martian atmosphere by analyzing xenon.
While NASA's Curiosity rover concluded its detailed examination of the rock layers of the "Pahrump Hills" in Gale Crater on Mars this winter, some members of the rover team were busy analyzing the Martian atmosphere for xenon, a heavy noble gas.
Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) experiment analyzed xenon in the planet's atmosphere. Since noble gases are chemically inert and do not react with other substances in the air or on the ground, they are excellent tracers of the history of the atmosphere.

Moffett Field, CA – NASA scientists studying the origin of life have reproduced uracil, cytosine, and thymine, three key components of our hereditary material, in the laboratory. They discovered that an ice sample containing pyrimidine exposed to ultraviolet radiation under space-like conditions produces these essential ingredients of life.
Pyrimidine is a ring-shaped molecule made up of carbon and nitrogen and is the central structure for uracil, cytosine, and thymine, which are all three part of a genetic code found in ribonucleic (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA). RNA and DNA are central to protein synthesis, but also have many other roles.

NASA reports scientists discover evidence of Water Reservoir near Mar's Surface from Meteorites on Earth
Written by William Jeffs
NASA's Johnson Space Center
Houston, TX – NASA and an international team of planetary scientists have found evidence in meteorites on Earth that indicates Mars has a distinct and global reservoir of water or ice near its surface.
Though controversy still surrounds the origin, abundance and history of water on Mars, this discovery helps resolve the question of where the "missing Martian water" may have gone. Scientists continue to study the planet's historical record, trying to understand the apparent shift from an early wet and warm climate to today's dry and cool surface conditions.
This illustration depicts Martian water reservoirs. Recent research provides evidence for the existence of a third reservoir that is intermediate in isotopic composition between the Red Planet's mantle and its current atmosphere. These results support the hypothesis that a buried cryosphere accounts for a large part of the initial water budget of Mars. (NASA)

Survey: Race to digitise sports content as live television falls out of favour
By David Davies2017-04-03T10:00:00+01:00
The UK and US are nations of sports fans, with 8 in 10 watching sport at home or on their mobiles, according to a survey of 2,000 people.
Live television is in decline, as the proliferation of mobile devices has transformed how people watch sports content
The survey undertaken by FTI Consulting for video management company Imagen found that the average person watches three different sports, dispelling any myths that loyalties are tied to one team or one sport.
Live television is in decline, as the proliferation of mobile devices has transformed how people watch sports content.
They now spend 60% of their viewing time on non-live television, which is particularly the case with the 18-29 year old age group.
Technology has disrupted the model when, as little as 5-10 years ago, days would be planned watching favourite teams live on television. Instead, the flexibility offered by advances in IP delivery and affordable mobile devices means it is possible to play catch-up – watching sporting action anywhere, and at any time.
This has resulted in most UK viewers now watching sports on an average of five different devices in the home, including 6 in 10 using smart phones.
Strikingly, however, the UK and the US regularly watch recorded sports content, with tennis a surprise hit.
Some 45% of people in the UK and US watch historical sporting action at least once a month, and a quarter at least once a week, with some watching it considerably more regularly.
Notably both countries were most inclined to watch major sporting events, followed closely by sporting highlights and sporting victories, showing a clear appetite to keep re-living special sporting moments.
In contrast, however there are differences in the types of sports UK and US audiences enjoy watching, although interestingly, in the US, football (40%) is now watched almost as much as American football (44%).
Perhaps surprisingly, after football, tennis is the next most watched sport in the UK, followed by F1 and then rugby.
Whilst achieving the smallest viewing audiences, more niche sports such as hockey and volleyball are still watched by 2% of UK households – a figure which is likely to continue to increase as they are more readily available to watch on television.
New demands not met?
In spite of new cutting edge technology, demand for access to good quality footage of recorded and historic sporting content is not being met. Just under half of the respondents in the UK and US said they would be likely to search for historical video clips of sports following the Olympics, showing its legacy lives on.
Flexibility to catch up on top sporting moments on demand is noted as the biggest draw for 30% of the UK population. Tied into this, viewers are willing to pay to access sports content on an app, with half of 18-29 year olds prepared to spend up to £10 a month for this.
"Fans are increasingly subscribing to both live and archive content to be streamed directly by the clubs and federations" – Tom Blake, Imagen
However, there is a huge mismatch as, in spite of this demand, a staggering quarter (26%) wouldn't know where to look to find their favourite historical sports content, whilst 25% are deterred by poor visual quality of the footage.
Futureproofing sports content appears to be important. Over three quarters of the UK population (some 83%) want sport to be digitised for future generations, with 7 in 10 claiming that lessons can be learnt from watching past sports events.
These numbers show the desire not to lose historic sporting moments.
Tom Blake, Commercial Director of Imagen, said: "Demand for sports content would appear to be at an all-time high, with evolving consumption patterns placing a challenge at the door of rights holders and traditional broadcasters.
As demonstrated in the US, fans are increasingly subscribing to both live and archive content to be streamed directly by the clubs and federations. In the UK consumers would be willing to spend on viewing their favourite sport given access to do so.
Tom Blake, Imagen: "Demand for sports content would appear to be at an all-time high"
"There is a fantastic opportunity for rights holders, including the more niche sports, to capitalise on these trends by making more content available at all times and in the process protecting the legacy of their sport."

Remember what a big deal it was just over a year ago, a sign that LeBron was destined to be in Cleveland forever?
A group of Chinese investors led by Kenny Huang was going to buy 15 percent of the Cleveland Cavaliers. With LeBron's efforts to break into the Chinese market in a bigger way, this was seen as a good thing. It was the first Chinese group to buy a significant part of an American sports franchise.
Except it never happened, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Huang's people never filed the paperwork with the league office. After that step there would have been background checks and an investigation of the people in the investment group — standard operating procedure for the NBA and all major sports leagues — then the other owners would have had to approve it (a vote of the Board of Governors). But the other dominoes never started to fall because there was no application.
Huang and his people did not return calls from the Plain Dealer to explain why. There were reported changes among the investors in Huang's group.


Environmental monitoring is conducted based on numerical forecasting. In this process, basic meteorological data is used in combination with local emissions inventory of the city. In addition, the concentration in pollution source and pollution flows are interpreted by calculating the photochemical process of pollution emission, and the predictions are finally obtained. Both computations of photochemical process of pollution emission and pollution flow require a large amount of computational resources, so the accuracy of numerical forecasting is closely correlated to the power of the high-performance computer.
With its own expert team and cooperation with relevant research institutes, Inspur has achieved numerous successes in research for weather forecasting, integrated forecasting of air pollution and intelligent fusion, comprehensive data analysis and assimilation, real-time large-scale simulation, dynamic emission analysis, etc. It has first-hand experience in multiple international mainstream numerical forecasting models.
For numerical forecasting, massive environmental monitoring data need to be processed within a time limit and the accuracy of computational results is required to be very high, so that governments, institutions and enterprises can provide timely and accurate air quality services. From the technical perspective, numerical forecasting is a typical computation intensive application, requiring the computational power of a high-performance computational platform. Additionally, massive data need to be exchanged with the storage during computation, therefore, only a high-speed interconnected network and GB/s level super-high I/O throughput bandwidth can meet the requirements from environmental forecasting.

Modern Healthcare interviewed L.A. Care in "CMS may start cracking down on dual-eligible 'look-alike' plans". The piece talks about the federal government's plan to promote more integrated care for patients eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, and consequently crack down on dual-eligible special needs (D-SNP) plan "look-alikes".
D-SNP look-alikes are designed and marketed to attract dual-eligible patients, who may enroll thinking they will receive integrated Medicare and Medicaid benefits and extra care coordination. Instead, they find themselves in general Medicare Advantage plans without the ability to integrate with Medicaid and miss out on benefits they could receive elsewhere, critics argue.
