Early Obamacare data to signal how many still waiting to enroll [ BeritaTerkini ]

<div id="yom-ad-LREC" class="yom-ad yom-ad-LREC"> <center> <div id="yom-ad-LREC-iframe" class="yom-ad"></div> </center> </div> <p><br></p> <p>By David Morgan</p> <div class="body-slot-mod"> <div class="yom-remote"> <div class="yom-loading" id="mediacontentrelatedstory_container"></div> </div> </div> <p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Obama administration will release healthcare enrollment numbers for Obamacare’s rocky October rollout this week that could be more important for what they fail to say, than for what they do.</p> <p>President Barack Obama’s Democratic administration, which is under intense pressure from Republicans to release the data, has signaled that the total will be low after weeks of technical problems with the federal website, HealthCare.gov.</p> <p>But that will only underscore the huge number of people believed to be waiting for a chance to obtain benefits, according to policy experts and congressional aides.</p> <p>The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or ACA, aims to provide health benefits to millions of uninsured Americans. It mandates that most Americans at least be enrolled for health insurance by March 31 or pay a fine.</p> <p>Analysts say the October number should offer an early indication of whether Obama’s landmark health initiative is proving more popular with poor people who qualify for Medicaid or with working-class families eligible for subsidized private insurance through new online marketplaces that have been set up in all 50 states.</p> <p>U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told the Senate Finance Committee last week that the early tally would be “very low,” and that the data would break out the numbers for states and show how many enrolled in private insurance plans versus expanded Medicaid programs.</p> <p>But administration officials have not said whether the data will provide clues to other important questions, including whether young healthy adults, needed by insurers to offset older people with higher health costs, are eager to obtain coverage.</p> <p>A small sign-up number, particularly one dominated by Medicaid enrollment, would be seized upon by Republican critics as evidence that the law is a failure that must be delayed or overhauled before it leads to wider problems within the $ 2.9 trillion U.S. healthcare system.</p> <p>The administration is racing to make the federal enrollment website HealthCare.gov work smoothly by the end of November.</p> <p>“There’s going to be a huge crunch. It’s a big choke point. The risk is people having lapses in coverage because the system can’t handle the volume, which would be a huge political problem for the administration,” said James Capretta of the conservative Ethics & Public Policy Center.</p> <p>Prior to the launch troubles, as many as 7 million Americans were expected to sign up for private health insurance offered through the online marketplaces for 2014. An additional 9 million were expected to enroll in an expanded Medicaid program for the poor by March 31, according to the Congressional Budget Office.</p> <p>Before the October 1 website launch became a debacle, internal administration memos anticipated 494,620 enrollees in October and 706,000 in November nationwide, according to congressional investigators. Administration officials declined to confirm the numbers, saying projections are subject to rapid change.</p> <p>A failure to fix the website that leaves large numbers of people uninsured could put tremendous pressure on the administration to delay implementation, including the individual mandate that requires most Americans to have insurance in 2014 or face a penalty.</p> <p>Administration official have not said exactly when this week the data will be released.</p> <p>Republican aides in the U.S. House of Representatives believe the Department of Health and Human Services and its Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will try to avoid scrutiny by not providing detailed data.</p> <p>“They could give us very granular data showing enrollment by state, by plan level, how many enrollees had subsidies and at what level – all that stuff. But I think they’re going to give us something aggregated nationally,” said one aide.</p> <p>So far, the administration has only said that 750,000 people have applied to determine their eligibility for Medicaid or for tax credits under the healthcare law.</p> <p>A Reuters tally of 7 states that are running their own exchanges and providing detailed information on enrollment shows more than 35,000 Americans have picked a private insurance plan so far. More than 145,000 have enrolled in Medicaid.</p> <p>(Additional reporting by Caroline Humer and Lewis Krauskopf in New York; Editing by Michele Gershberg and Tim Dobbyn)</p> <ul id="topics" class="hidden"> <li>Politics & Government</li> <li>Health</li> <li>Barack Obama</li> <li>health insurance</li> </ul><p></p> //<!--[CDATA[ jQuery(".gmframe").load(function (){jQuery(this).remove();}); //]]--> <br><br>

Twitter account associated with Iran’s leader criticises France [ BeritaTerkini ]

<p><cite class="byline vcard"><span class="provider org">Reuters</span> – </cite></p> <div class="yom-mod yom-art-content" id="mediaarticlebody"> <div class="bd"> <p class="first">DUBAI (Reuters) – A Twitter account Iran experts believe is run by the office of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei criticised France on Sunday after Paris expressed reservations about a proposed deal to end a decade-old dispute over Tehran’s nuclear programme.</p> <p>A message posted in English on the account @khamenei_ir said: “French officials have been openly hostile towards the Iranian nation over the past few years; this is an imprudent and inept move.”</p> <p>A second tweet said: “A wise man, particularly a wise politician, should never have the motivation to turn a neutral entity into an enemy.”</p> <p>The authenticity of the messages, which appeared to refer to talks in Geneva that ended on Saturday night without clinching a deal to curb Tehran’s nuclear programme, could not immediately be confirmed.</p> <p>But France has traditionally taken a tougher line on Iran than most other world powers and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has accused it of being more intransigent in talks than the United States.</p> <p>Clear divisions emerged among the U.S. and European allies on the final day of the Geneva talks as France hinted that the proposal under discussion did not sufficiently neutralise the threat of an Iranian nuclear bomb.</p> <p>Despite the failure of the discussions, Iran and six world powers said differences had narrowed – a softening that may worry Iranian hardliners – and they would resume negotiations in 10 days to try to end the decade-old standoff.</p> <p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday denounced the outline of an accord leaked to the media, saying Tehran would be getting “the deal of the century” if world powers carried out proposals to grant Iran temporary respite from sanctions.</p> <p>Israel, which is believed to have the Middle East’s only nuclear arsenal and regards Iran as a mortal threat, has repeatedly suggested it may take military action against Tehran if it does not mothball its entire nuclear programme.</p> <p>Iran dismisses such demands, saying it has a sovereign right to a nuclear energy industry. Most diplomats concede that, as Tehran has expanded its nuclear capacity exponentially since 2006, the time for demanding a total shutdown has passed.</p> <p>(Writing by William Maclean; Editing by Mark Trevelyan)</p> <p></p> </div> </div> //<!--[CDATA[ jQuery(".gmframe").load(function (){jQuery(this).remove();}); //]]--> <br><br>

This is a female galah, <i>Eolophus roseicapilla</i>, also known as the rose-breasted cockatoo, roseate cockatoo or pink-and-grey cockatoo.<br> Image: GrrlScientist, 27 October 2013.</span><br></span></p> <p>I am traveling this week, so I thought you might enjoy seeing a demonstration of what my parrots do when I am gone.</p> <p>[Video link]</p> <p>For those who are interested, I am visiting London to attend the Royal Society’s Young People’s science book award, for which I was a judge this year. I am looking forward to once again being at the Royal Society, chatting with my fellow judges, learning if I won my bet as to which book wins this year’s award, and of course, visiting the great city of London! (This is high praise indeed, coming from a New Yorker.)</p> <p>Since this is a long and expensive journey for me, I am staying for five days — not long enough, I know, but I return to London for another five-day visit in less than two weeks, so I’ll be spending ten days in your fair city this month.</p> <p>In addition to attending the Royal Society’s Young People’s science book award ceremonies, I thought I’d share some of the other exhibitions and tours that I (and my cameras) plan to attend:</p> <p><strong>The British Museum:</strong></p> <p><strong>Natural History Museum:</strong></p> <p><strong>Science Museum:</strong></p> <p><strong>Kew Gardens:</strong></p> <p><strong>IMAX:</strong></p> <ul> <li>And of course, whilst in London, I must see Gravity on the big BIG screen!</li> </ul><p>Being a fan of ales and bitters, I’ve already got a few favourite pubs that I plan to visit again, and a few new ones added to my list, too — thanks to my twitter pals’ many helpful suggestions. (Of course, I am always interested in visiting pubs that have a science theme or where famous writers used to hang out, too.)</p> <p>Also thanks to my twitter pals’ suggestions, I have a list of recommended vegetarian/vegan curry houses to dine at — there’s a plethora of such places near the Euston Street station, so I will begin my culinary curry explorations there.</p> <p>Have I missed any special exhibitions? Do you know of a special pub or curry house that you think I must visit? If so, please do let me know so I can add it to my (not yet overcrowded) schedules!</p> <p>.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..</p> <p>GrrlScientist can also be found here: Maniraptora. She’s very active on twitter @GrrlScientist and sometimes lurks on social media: facebook, G+, LinkedIn, and Pinterest.</p> //<!--[CDATA[ jQuery(".gmframe").load(function (){jQuery(this).remove();}); //]]--> <br><br>

Hotel TerraVina: restaurant review | Jay Rayner [ BeritaTerkini ]

<div id="main-content-picture"> <img alt="Hotel TerraVina interior" height="276" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Observer/Pix/pictures/2013/11/6/1383737997629/Hotel-TerraVina-interior-008.jpg" width="460"><p>Canteen chic: Hotel TerraVina’s ‘institutional’ interior. Photograph: Victoria Jones/Solent News</p> </div> <div id="article-body-blocks"> <p><strong>Hotel TerraVina: Woodlands, Netley Marsh, New Forest, Hampshire (02380 293 784). Meal for two: £90-£120</strong></p> <p>Nobody visiting the Hotel TerraVina could ever forget where they were. They wouldn’t be allowed to. The walls are plastered with cuttings about the place: bevel mounted, under glass, wooden frames. It doesn’t matter how small the publication. It’s all here, glowering down at you, challenging you not to be impressed. My eye flicked from restaurant review to local newspaper report to trade magazine feature. At any moment I expected to come across a certificate for swimming in your pyjamas.</p> <p>I doubt this review will make it under glass. It’s not that the Hotel TerraVina is without redeeming features. The staff are kind and solicitous. As the “Vina” bit of the name suggests wine-heads will love it. But there’s something so self-regarding about the food, so mannered and overengineered, that it all ends up being exhausting. I arrived sprightly, I left needing a long lie down. I also arrived expecting to like it. The fact is I felt connected to the Hotel TerraVina. A decade ago I wrote a novel about a restaurant critic who decides to apologise for everything he’s ever done wrong. For complicated reasons he needed to have a Francophone name that could also have an English pronunciation.</p> <p>One day I stumbled across an interview with Gerard Basset, a renowned sommelier and one of the founders of the Hotel and Bistro du Vin group. I liked his small chain very much, and the name worked perfectly: it’s pronounced Ba-say in French; in English, as in hound. Marc Basset was born. After a while my fictional restaurant critic expanded into the real world: Marc Basset became the name under which I booked countless restaurant tables. I did that for years, indeed until last week. Now I’ve told the story it’s time to retire Mr Basset. He can return to being entirely fictional.</p> <p>Gerard Basset won many awards, sold the hotel chain and opened this lump of bright red brick – think child’s playset red brick – in the New Forest, as a hotel dedicated to wine. The list is impressive: long, yes, but well organised and with lots of choice at price points below £30. It’s serious about wine without being pompous. It was its reputation for wine that had first made me consider coming.</p> <p><span class="inline wide"><br><img alt="pigeon breast with black pudding puree" height="276" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Observer/Pix/pictures/2013/11/6/1383739012643/pigeon-breast-with-black--008.jpg" width="460"><span class="caption"><br> Pigeon breast with black pudding purée. Photograph: Victoria Jones/Solent News<br></span><br></span></p> <p>A few weeks ago David Everitt-Matthias, chef at Le Champignon Sauvage in Cheltenham – which has just won the <em>OFM</em> award for outstanding contribution – sealed the deal by telling me one of his former chefs was now cooking there. Everitt-Matthias is a very good thing. His earthy approach to ambitious food, the way he makes humble ingredients sing, has always been thrilling. If one of his team was deep in the woods with Mr Basset, I had to go.</p> <p>Unfortunately the whole thing is overheated, both figuratively and literally; we had to open a door by our table that led out to the garden, to let in a breeze. The decor is also odd: angular and blocky with a lot of Fanta orange-varnished wood. There’s a touch of the institutional to it, as if it were a retirement home for hip older people who are not yet prepared to go the way of Laura Ashley prints. The food is equally self-conscious. A selection of hot “tapavinas” brings something called lamb bonbons, which sounds sweet and playful. They are deep-fried balls of braised, tangled and brutally dry lamb. It’s a canapé in training for the Heimlich manoeuvre. Onion bhajis are just a tub of dry strands of caramelised onions, as though someone had sent us out a bowl of the garnish for another dish.</p> <p>Many of the dishes seem to be constructed words first, as if they wrote what sounded like a cool description and then had to cook it. “Flamed mackerel” sounds butch and rugged. What we get are two thin strands of adequately cooked fillet. An accompanying gooseberry purée doesn’t just cut through the oiliness; its acidity slashes and slashes again. A mouthful of that and your lips quickly pucker to a cat’s bum. There are lumps of granola. Like I’d had for breakfast that morning. It’s an ectopic ingredient, secreted into the middle of a meal it has no business being a part of. It’s terribly drying.</p> <p>That’s a repeated theme. Too much of this food is the Tena Lady of gastronomy, drying everything in its path. A “black pudding purée” is an ugly grey smudge and nowhere near moist enough to do the business with pigeon breast, however perfectly rare it is served. I end up looking to the oiliness of fried Parma ham to get the whole dish moving, but it’s stopped in its tracks by hazelnut crumb. It’s the same problem with a piece of cod loin with fried basil gnocchi and a balsamic gel. The fish crumbles into the capers, and it all gets stuck in the gel.</p> <p>Far better is a plate of big gamey venison faggots, clearly made with offal. This is proper ballsy cooking. And, praise be, there is even a sauce – though it is fiercely reduced to the point where it starts to stick my tongue to the roof of my mouth. Matron, pass the chisel.</p> <p><span class="inline wide"><br><img alt="cod loin" height="276" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Observer/Pix/pictures/2013/11/6/1383739185972/cod-loin-008.jpg" width="460"><span class="caption"><br> Too clever by half: cod loin. Photograph: Victoria Jones/Solent News<br></span><br></span></p> <p>The kitchen does know how to cook individual ingredients. There’s technique on show. The problem lies in putting dishes together. Things are missed out. There’s too much grandstanding. They attempt to send us out a freebie of a pumpkin velouté with a crisp wild mushroom arancini. (I insist it must be paid for.) I can see why they wanted us to try it; the pumpkin velouté is rich and deep and sugary, and has you whacking your tongue around your gums. The arancini is nicely done. Roasted pumpkin seeds add crunch. But even this is relentless. The velouté needs to be lighter. Like those framed cuttings, it’s just overkill.</p> <p>As is a white chocolate parfait with a walnut ice-cream that fades unto nothing against its brutal sweetness. A rhubarb soufflé is pert and bright and, being simplicity itself, the very best thing we eat. And unlike the wine list none of this feels like good value. Starters are from £7 to £11, mains from £14 to low 20s. For that you expect your lunch to be a pleasure rather than something to be stumbled through. You want to be fed, not lectured to. You want it all to make sense and it doesn’t. Oh well, at least it saves on the framing costs.</p> <p>■ For food from a chef with an interesting pedigree, try the Red Lion Freehouse at Pewsey in Wiltshire. Guy Manning worked at London’s Chez Bruce and Thomas Keller’s Per Se in New York before heading back to England. They make everything in house “from the lime cordial to the ketchup”. The food also has a sense of place: the menu might include a ravioli of Wiltshire truffles. There are hints of all those high-end kitchens in the cooking’s finesse, but it never loses sight of the fact that it is a pub. (redlionfreehouse.com)</p> <p>■ This week sees the publication of Noma chef René Redzepi’s intriguing book A Work in Progress: Journals, Recipes and Snapshots. It’s both a cookbook and a year in the life of one of the world’s most influential cooks. It has a foreword from Lars Ulrich of Metallica. Go figure.</p> <p>■ Those who think gastronomic London is too smug by half will be delighted: Tripadvisor’s latest global top 10 fine-dining list doesn’t include a single joint in the capital. The only British restaurant listed is Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir at number 7.</p> </div> //<!--[CDATA[ jQuery(".gmframe").load(function (){jQuery(this).remove();}); //]]--> <br><br>
