Taxation and Corporate Financial Policy
J. Gregory Ballentine, Charles E. McLure, Jr.
NBER Working Paper No. 243 (Also Reprint No. r0060)
A model of corporate financial policy (debt-equity ratios and dividend payout rates) is included in the Harberger general equilibrium model of incidence of the corporate income tax. Illustrative calculations of the distortions of financial policy and increases in risk premiums induced by the corporate tax are provided. Because risk premiums on corporate securities would be reduced, eliminating the corporate tax or integrating it into the personal tax would increase the income of non-corporate investors relatively more than that of investors in corporate securities, and is therefore less regressive than is commonly thought.

Being a Costa Rica Real Estate Broker isn't easy. Hi, It's Bret Dudl here, founder of www.costaricaira.com. I'm about to give you valuable information that took me thirteen years in the retirement plan business to learn that will help you double your Costa Rica real estate sales in just three simple steps. After selling my retirement plan company in 2006 I took my own IRA and bought the property of my dreams. I now own a 165 acre finca with beautiful views of the Osa Peninsula and Drake bay that I bought using pre-tax dollars in my IRA.
And I didn't stop there. I Then subdivided the land, and sold lots to other investors in their IRAs freeing capital to build a hotel on the property. I have developed an IRA paperwork processing system that can help you close real estate deals in your client's IRA in as little as 25 Days.
I am going to teach you a fool proof system of how you can double your sales by helping your clients unlock capital in their IRA to buy real estate from you immediately. You can customize this brochure with your own logo just for you and I'm giving it away absolutely for FREE. With this private labeled brochure you will be able to double your sales by helping your clients tap in to their IRA's as a source of funds that they can self direct in to Costa Rican real estate. All you need to do is give me your valid e-mail address and I'll send you the link to download the report.
Inside you'll learn ...
Just give us your name and valid e-mail address and we will send you an e-mail with a link to download the report for free.

A moderately-designed winter jacket can work well with both men & women
A moderately-designed winter jacket can work well with both men & women even though there are some specifications for both genders. Gone are the days when people were judged by what they do in their personal life. Do not forget that your first impression is intimately connected with what you put on or wear.
People are not astrologers who will take a look at your face and read what going on in your mind. The first impression cannot be and should not be overlooked. When talking about a three-piece suit in winter season, people – who are used to buying online men's clothes and dresses – love to buy fairly warm and durably trend jacked form a highly trustworthy online store: https://www.shopbrumano.com/. Fortunately, you are now in the right place where you are being advised that can suit your needs in a way that you can get what you can love from the bottom of your heart.
Before you learn how to look well, you need to know how to dress well. There's no doubt that a high-quality, well-knitted jacket can be your fence against upcoming but unchanging weather conditions. Almost every person is well aware of the fact that the winter season in our country is shorter than summer season but when it is in its full swing, it can easily make us feel ill and sick. That's something almost every countryman is acquainted with.
The best part about the above-quoted online source is that you can trust. In online shopping, trust is the main thing. For itself, buying the perfect winter jacket for all occasions or for multiple occasions can be a struggle from the crowded market. In case you are not aware of various kinds of jacket, you need to choose a men's jacket store you can trust.

Yes, apparently Hollywood is running out of ideas.
[Update on Friday morning]
MfK has a good idea in comments: Pong. Maybe even King Pong.
But this could be the next Hollywood blockbuster: Blockbuster, The Movie.
Yes, apparently Hollywood is running out of ideas.
[Update on Friday morning]
MfK has a good idea in comments: Pong. Maybe even King Pong.
But this could be the next Hollywood blockbuster: Blockbuster, The Movie.
Hollywood has ideas? I thought their job was to look pretty? …and testify to congress because they once played a part?
No surprise, really. Truly creative and exciting ideas require an actually free and open society to blossom.
It also helps if they don't have to go through a committee to get funding.
Well, we've had tons of movies based on modern video games, and plenty of movies about space war, which was an early video game. So why not a movie based on the very first computer video game, played on the British EDSAC, especially since the game was the highlight of "War Games"?
They are running out of ideas. Or rather, the typical Hollywood ideas are running out of time. Look, if you can't find a compelling metaphor in the times we are living through right now, then you are suffering from selective blindness. The problem is that their narratives beg the question these days. Are you really going to identify with the idealistic liberal councilman trying to get money for housing projects against the corrupt conservative in the pocket of big business? Really?
The fact is that the studio worldview is anachronistic. In the Golden Age of Cinema, the movies (or at least, the ones that made it through) were about triumphing in the face of adversity, putting on a happy face, the common man making good of himself, or at least making good for his family. The contradictions in the narrative are too strong to overcome in a couple hours these days. Even devout liberals I know walked out of Avatar with almost comic dismissal of the story; without the stunning visuals it was silly. Compare it to E.T. – a puppet in a house in San Jose. What movie moved you more? A good salesman understands his audience first, and his product second. They're not good salesmen anymore.
Well, there was Tic Tac Toe, the game show . . . isn't anyone here old enough to remember Hollywood Squares?
Or the SNL parody made during the collapse of the Berlin Wall — Die Ost Berlinen Squaren?
With such great pidgin-Deutsch lines as
Quizmaster: "Vo is die grosse Hund . . ."
Celebrity participant: "Mein ex-Frau!"
Look, if you don't want to see the movie, you could always go see "Aliens vs Cowboys" or "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" for something fresh…
When I was touring the Missouri in Hawaii, I ran into a couple guys walking around with notebooks and measuring tape. I asked what they were up to, they told me they were setting up for filiming Battleship. I said "What's the setting, WWII, Korea, Persian Gulf?"
"No, it's contemporary"
They probably had an idea for a Navy vs. Aliens movie, and later added the name as a gimmick.
Truth: I've never seen E.T. I probably never will. Puppet movies generally give me the creeps, and I hate that Neil Diamond song like burning.
You should see ET. It is a classic. I really think you would enjoy it. It even made me a bit misty.
So now the Navy can stand proudly among the ranks of fellow alien-fighters: the Army, Air Force, Marines, space merchants, cowboys, random hot teenage girls, etc.
Conspicuously absent from the list: NASA. Why?
(Waits patiently for the jokes to come in…)
I have a screenplay for "Pong" all ready to go…
Is it even possible to come up with a story idea that isn't in some way derivative?
I think there are still a few original ideas out there, Ken. It's just hard to get them made into a movie. The studio execs seem more likely to approve a project if it's a known quantity with a built in audience.
An example of a movie that seemed original to me was Secondhand Lions from 2003. My wife and I enjoyed it and as far as I know, it wasn't derivative. Finding Forrester was also quite good.
Minesweeper: The movie had a trailer made here.
How about the 3rd installment of Transformers or the 8th installment of Harry Potter? They are still in theaters.
Harry Potter was also derivative — she didn't even change the name.
I have a screenplay for "Pong" all ready to go…
remake re-title this.
I'd watch it, not that I think you're wrong.
There are only a handful of archetypal plots in all of storytelling, fewer than a dozen, going back all the way through to Shakespeare and Chaucer and even the epic of Gilgamesh. There's also only a handful of archetypal characters, which is why Rosencrantz and Guildenstern keep showing up in movies in the guise of R2D2 and C3PO or Jay and Silent Bob or Merry and Pippin.
I've noticed one peculiarity about Hollywood. In any given year you will find waves of movies that are all about the same thing – one year it's big rocks hitting the earth, the next year it's volcanoes in LA, the next year it's vampires. I suspect one of two reasons: either emergent phenomena as occurs in all simple rule based iterative systems; or some writer is shopping a script around, being rejected by most studios, who then take the idea and make a few subtle changes, with several studios stiffing the same writer.
I've got a unique idea for a movie. But I can't tell you cuz it's so unique it would blow your mind. If you considered all the other movie ideas as a proton, my idea is an anti-proton. The 2 together would just cause a catastrophic meltdown. So, I keep it to myself in the interest of keeping everybody sane.
what did you mean by this?
"…isn't anyone here old enough to remember Hollywood Squares?"
That some of us are BOUND to be old? Or that YOU and some of us are bound to be that old!? ; ) Wink, Wink.
And in answer, I do remember not just the show, I remember Charlie Weaver in the center square, pre – Paul Lynde. I'm old, old, old, or so say my kids & grandkids!!! I prefer to think I just have a great memory for my childhood years. (I have zero idea where my car keys are right now, I might have that oldtimers disease thing)
I was recently accused of being Christian ONLY because I personally KNEW Jesus!
There are a thousand great movies that could be remade, outside the crap they are remaking.
Almost any of the Frank Capra movies could be re-shot using the original scripts with updated dates, places, references to Americana and the news.
BUT Hollywood does NOT want that feeling spread among the people. You can't promote self-reliance, family, God, belief in the Founders and the rule of law, the Constitution as THE most important document in our hands, knowledge of non-re-written history, hell, they'd rather go hungry in LaLa Land and give up their limos and life style than have THAT on the screen.
All those things would mean we don't NEED to be Obamanized, or Sorosized, or any other 'ized' beside re-Americanized!.
That's why they HATED the first part of "Atlas Shrugged" trilogy so much! Too much self reliance and gub'ment bashing for the lefty loopys in Hollyweird.
Just saw Cowboys & Aliens btw. Don't believe the critics, they did a good job with it. I'm not going to give any spoilers. It left me wanting more.
I can think of quite a lot of SF books that would make excellent films, especially with modern CGI, but they would all fail the Hollywood test for one reason or another. Ringworld? Eek – nuclear-powered spaceships and deviant sex (rishasthra?) Footfall? Ditto the spaceships – and engineers and scientists as heroes? Can't have that.
Personally, I think one of the worst things about Hollywood SF is the rubber-forehead aliens. Oddly enough, George Lucas is the only one I can think of who didn't use that trope too much – cue the cantina scene.
Even though it's part of the eternal "struggle between good and evil", there is a LOT of good story-telling and production quality going into video games lately. Sure, there's all of the running around shooting people in a sandbox environment that takes place, too, but the story lines, cut scenes, plot twists, etc. of a number of modern video games is on par with, if not better than, some of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters.
As far as recent movies, I enjoyed Battle: Los Angeles, even if the end, where they say, "we're getting the word out across the globe on how to take those things down" was pretty cheesy, and almost a word-for-word ripoff of the same line in Independence Day. Some movies are plenty of fun and just good "popcorn flicks" for the sake of being popcorn flicks, but I certainly do agree with the sentiment that some of the recent remakes just don't need to happen.
Here's an idea: Ouija Board: The Movie. The planchette can spell out the closing credits.
Alan, they already did "Ouija Board: The Movie," starring Robin Williams and Kirsten Dunst in "Jumanji."
It's easy to risk $60 million of someone else's money on "original" ideas while you're playing armchair-director in blog comments. It's a lot tricker in real life. I will agree that many studios are risk-averse. Still there are many original movies in release; you just have to look for them. One personal favorite Interstate 60. Written by Bob Gale, it stars Gary Oldman as a half-breed (leprechaun/Cheyenne Indian), and includes a ton of cameos, including Christopher Lloyd, Chris Cooper, Kurt Russell, and Ann-Margaret. Recommended if you enjoy whimsical fantasy.
The Battleship trailer looked interesting, until I saw the transformers/aliens. I would have been more interesting to see a high-tech/low-tech slugging match, as long as the aliens didn't have nukes.
I have an idea even better than Blockbuster: The Movie; Block-BUSTED: The parody. They could even spin that into a bunch of sequels like they did with the Scary Movie series.
@Titus: one name is not proof, especially considering the divergence between her series and the movie. I've seen this before; Terry Pratchett has been accused of ripping off Rowling by people who (obviously) don't know he was writing about Unseen University in Ankh-Morpork before Harry Potter was ever published.
We could go back even further; I recall a story about a lonely young man who discovered he had hidden powers, and was destined one day to meet a powerful & evil sorcerer. Anyone want to claim Harry Potter was a ripoff of the first three Star Wars movies, or that Dobby was Yoda? They do look suspiciously similar… 😉
Skinners wear harnesses… Ok, what's the archetype there?
@Titus: one name is not proof, especially considering the divergence between her series and the movie.
Really?! OMG! Thanks for letting me know. 'preciate it.
Anyone want to claim Harry Potter was a ripoff of the first three Star Wars movies
No, Star Wars was a rip-off of a different film.
I knew Harry was a Jap! That is a great link Titus. How do you come up with them? Of course, the best film of all time was John Wayne as Genghis Kahn. Eh… perhaps not.
I liked Darkstar, Silent Running and Raising Arizona. That pretty well describes my dementia right there.
Orson Scott Card on Harry Potter and Ender's Game:
This is why intellectual property is another example of juvenile elitism. The noble goal of IP was so some poor soul could benefit from creativity and benefit humanity. That's not what IP does. IP is a club used by those that have to prevent others from having. The arguments for it are all mental masterbation and lies.
Plagiarism should be universally condemned which is all that is needed to deal with it.
Ideas can be protected by trade secret until protection is no longer needed. IP if it exists at all can be protected by contract between the poor originator and the rich developer.
IP is a false construct that should never have been created. It doesn't work as intended.
Of course, my view could be corrupted if ya'll just let me have the alphabet and everyone pay me to license the idea out to everybody else in the universe (included vowels, consonants, numbers and any other ideograph.) A penny a letter seems reasonable to me. Pay up suckas!!!

Changing Weathers
Changing Weathers – networked responses to geophysical, geopolitical and technological shifts across Europe – is a set of activities and actions reflecting the status of the changing cultural landscape of Europe, taking into account the shifting geophysical, geopolitical and technological vectors that are shaping it. It is a partnership with organizations and people both from the European "core" and its political and economic "periphery".
It's a series of workshops, open field-based conferences, residencies, exhibitions and cultural actions with a goal of developing, discovering and re-shaping resilient and sustainable cultural practices challenged by climate, economic, ecological, technological, social, political, cultural, artistic and geopolitical changes and tensions in Europe.
Within the project there is an emphasis for long-term networked co-operation and exchange between the participating organizations, cultural operators, artists and traditional and indigenous cultural activists.
Changing Weathers is initiated by the Arctic Perspective Initiative (API) and coordinated by Zavod Projekt Atol (Slovenia) in partnership with Sonic Acts (The Netherlands), RIXC network for art, science and cultural innovation (Latvia), Finnish Bioart Society (Finland), Curator Hilde Methi within Dark Ecology Project (Norway), Time's Up Laboratory for the construction of experimental situations (Austria) and Ljudmila Art And Science Laboratory (Slovenia).
Project duration: November 2014 – November 2016

Stay Hydrated
One of the most important things the military teaches new recruits during basic training is the importance of drinking water. At all times soldiers have to carry water — either in canteens or in jugs in their vehicles — to stay hydrated. This same message is good for everybody, regardless of whether they're a soldier.
When traveling across time zones, dehydration can sneak up on you if you aren't careful. The quickest way a vacation or business trip can take a turn for the worse is if you need to spend a night in the hospital taking in intravenous fluids. Keep yourself hydrated throughout the entire travel process.
Drink lots of water. Stay away from the energy drinks and sodas — especially the energy drinks. They may seem tempting, but energy drinks don't provide significant help in replenishing your body's fluids. Stick to water before you fly and during your flight, too. And drink plenty of H2O before your flight. Not only will you stave off dehydration, it's also free once you're on the plane.

This year's summer solstice aptly comes with warm weather, and it's here for a while, according to the National Weather Service.
Federal forecasters don't expect record-breaking temperatures this week, but because of poor air quality expected on Tuesday, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District issued its fourth Spare the Air alert this year. High temperatures and low winds, paired with vehicle exhaust, are expected to cause unhealthy air in the Bay Area.
Temperatures along the coast will be in the low 70s, increasing to the mid-80s inland throughout most of Marin. San Rafael and Novato could flirt with the 90s.
Forecasting models previously showed the hot weather would touch down, then be on its way. Now it appears it will stick around.
"It looks like it's going to be average to above average in Marin for the next two weeks," said forecaster Mark Strudley.
The consecutive days of heat suggest residents who are vulnerable to high temperatures should take extra precaution to stay cool.
"We're not putting out any heat advisory," Strudley said. "But it will be warm. It's important to take the right precautions."
With the summer solstice Monday, the days will get shorter beginning Tuesday until Dec. 21, the winter solstice.
Record heat was reported Monday in Southern California, where Palm Springs reached 121 degrees by the early afternoon. That broke the former record for the date of 118 degrees in 1929, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather agency issued excessive heat warnings for Los Angeles County Monday and reported the mercury could hit 110 degrees in noncoastal areas of the county.
Excessive heat warnings were issued for the Inland Empire as well. Orange County was issued a heat advisory, even though Yorba Linda shattered a record Sunday by reaching 108 degrees.

Instigators and Risk Factors for Heat Phobia
You may have correctly assumed (although there are always exceptions), that your Heat Phobia is triggered from a past experience.

No drug has ever been developed specifically for Heat Phobia, by the way – When looking for an answer, maybe you should think about possible side effects before turning to prescription drugs.

Hajj is going to nullify this year. As the month has started one day earlier (without seeing the moon ), people will go to arafa on 8th Zilhajj instead of 9th zilhajj (whereas it is farz to stay in arafa on 9th Zilhajj). Why does Saudi Arabia intentionally create this problem to nullify the ibadat of all pilgrimages of the world?Who are they? Are they?
Saudi Arab has announced the first date of Zilhajj is today (06/10/2003). That means, they probably saw the crescent (with their citizens binocular eyes yesterday.

ALLEN, TX – On a cold and rainy Tuesday night the Allen Americans beat the Kansas City Mavericks 5-2 last night before a crowd of 3612 at the Allen Event Center. It was one of those games where looking at the summary doesn't tell the story. The game summary shows a 5-2 victory but the game was much closer than the score. The game summary shows shots were 41-40 in favor of the Mavericks but that doesn't come close to telling the story. The summary shows Kansas City 0-3 on the power play and Allen 1-4 and that doesn't tell the story.
– For the third time in as many meetings against the Mavericks, the Americans did not score the first goal. Kansas City scored first at the 6:14 mark of the first period. However, Allen did the next best thing by striking back with a goal of their own 67 seconds later on a great effort by David Makowski. Before the first period was over Colby McAuley scored to give the Americans a 2-1 lead going into the intermission. That was a good sign for the Allen faithful as the Americans record this season when having a lead after the first period is a perfect 10-0-0-0.
– The second period was a nightmare for Allen with two huge exceptions. The bad news is they were outshot in the period 19-6. The good news is at the beginning of the period Allen killed 1:49 of a full two-minute five-on-three power play for the Mavericks that was called toward the end of the first period. The other good news is Jeremy Brodeur was at his best stopping 18 of 19 shots he faced in the second period.
– As bad as the second period was for the Americans the third period was just the opposite. Allen outshot Kansas City 21-8, did a better job of getting pucks in deep when they didn't have a play, scored a power-play goal and put the game away with a Bryan Moore empty net goal. Olivier Archambault could have scored the empty net goal himself but passed the puck to Moore. I have seen Moore do the same thing in the past and it is always good to see unselfish plays to let a teammate score the empty net goal.
– The starting five (Arseneau, Pierro-Zabotel, Moore, Makowski, Chouinard) for Allen have dominated the last two games. In the two victories (5-2 & 5-2) this group has scored nine of the 10 goals and 23 of the 27 total points. Another way to say it is the starting five has nine goals and 14 assists in the last two games, the rest of the team combined has one goal and three assists. The starting five is scoring a lot but also defending, they have a plus/minus over the last two games of +34 while the rest of the team is -11. The Allen Americans are built on depth and that depth will come through as the Americans play seven games in the next 12 days.
– Goal scorers for Allen were David Makowski (6), Colby McAuley (4), Bryan Moore (9&10) and Vincent Arseneau (11).
– Here is coach Martinson's pregame interview with game host Kayla McLain:
– Some noteworthy accomplishments:
Bryan Moore: Not sure where to start as Bryan had two goals and an assist in the game and was selected the #1 star. Moore has at least one point in eight straight games, multiple points in six of the last eight games, a goal in six of his last seven games, three points in each of the last three games and is +14 over the last seven games. Bryan has played in 14 games for Allen and has 22 points (10 goals 12 assists). His 1.57 points per game average is the best in the ECHL for players with more than five games played.
Vincent Arseneau: After a hat trick in his last game Arseneau followed it up with another goal last night. Vincent battled an injury early in the season but has come on gangbusters recently. He didn't have a goal in the first six games he played this season. Since that time he has played 12 games and scored a goal in nine of them. Arseneau has five goals in the last three games, has a goal in eight of the last 10 games and leads the team with four game-winning goals.
Casey Pierro-Zabotel: Casey has been Mr. Steady all season. He had four assists in the last two games and continues to lead the ECHL is assists with 23.
David Makowski: David had a big night last night with a goal and three assists and was +4. Makowski is back in familiar territory leading all ECHL defensemen in average points per game (1.05). In 21 games he has 22 points (6 goals 16 assists).
Joel Chouinard: Thanks to a plus/minus of +5 and +3 in the last two games Joel is back on top of the plus/minus stat for the Americans with a +15. The +15 is #3 in the ECHL among defensemen.
Jeremy Brodeur: Jeremy had another 40 shot night, 41 to be exact. In his last four games, he has faced shot totals of 42, 40, 49 and 41. He won three of the four. Jeremy has won six of his last seven starts. His save percentage (.932) is the second-best in the ECHL.
Colby McAuley: Colby may fly a bit under the radar but he has been a big contributor since arriving in Allen 14 games ago. He has a point in five of the last six games including a goal last night. He has scored at close to a point a game clip (4 goals 8 assists), goes to the front of the net, plays defense (only two minus games), finishes his checks, logs a lot of penalty kill minutes and has been willing to drop the gloves.
– A big turning point in the game last night was Allen killing a full two-minute Mavericks power play at the end of the first period and beginning of the second. The scrum that resulted in two roughing calls against Allen and none against Kansas City. It was good the home penalty kill unit that is ranked #2 in the league at 90.0% killed that five-on-three rather than the road penalty kill unit that is ranked #27 at 70.6%. One of the strangest stats you will ever see.
– In the only other ECHL game last night the Tulsa Oilers beat the Wichita Thunder in Wichita by a score of 4-2. It was Wichita's fifth loss in their last six games.
– The easy answer to what the Americans need to do to win tonight is play like they did in the third period last night. Don't turnover the puck trying to make plays that aren't there, if there is no play dump the puck.
– It would be nice to score the first goal, something Allen hasn't done in the three previous games against Kansas City. If the Americans do get the first goal you have to like their chances since they are 11-0 this season when scoring first.
– Allen did a great job on special teams last night killing all three Kansas City power plays including the two-minute five-on-three. They also scored a power play of their own. If you win the special teams battle you normally win the game. The Americans need to continue the good play on special teams. Best to stay away from retaliation penalties. As coach Martinson always says the smart thing to do if a player does you wrong is take note of the player's number and deal with the issue later in the game or even the next time the teams play.
– Allen gave up a lot of shots last night (41) but what was different from previous games against Kansas City is the Americans matched them in shots on goal (40). If Allen can avoid a big shot differential tonight they should be fine.
– The officiating crew tonight will be the same as last night so you can expect more of the same. The referee scheduled for the game is Mike Sheehan (#11) and the linesmen are Aaron Schacht (#31) and Brian Bull (#95).
Photographer & fellow Team Sin Bin member Dianne Webster has become a friend and colleague over the last few years. She has gone above and beyond the call of duty to help provide photos for the blog and deal with my numerous "special requests." We often call each other to commiserate about all things Allen Americans.
Dianne called me earlier this week to let me know she will not be working the Allen Americans games for the foreseeable future due to recurring physical problems from a car accident she had last season. She has been trying to get better and still be the team photographer but that is no longer possible. So just like the players, she is going on injured reserve until she gets healthy and can practice her love of sports photography without pain.
What distinguishes Dianne as a photographer is her ability to capture emotion in her photos and that is what she does best. Last night was her last game for a while and here are some of my favorites:
DID YOU KNOW: A fan asked about the Allen Americans winning percentage so here are some numbers from the past and what could happen this week.
.500 – Allen's winning percentage on November 5th
.660 – Winning percentage after the win over Kansas City last night
.673 – Winning percentage if Allen wins tonight
.696 – Winning percentage if Allen wins the three remaining games this week
Allen's current winning percentage (.660) is ranked #7 in the ECHL. Florida is #1 at .788 and Rapid City is #27 at .280.

State officials have pledged funding and coordinated support to help expand the use of electronic health records among some 120 community-based organizations that address drug addiction, to improve and better integrate healthcare services for tens of thousands of New Jerseyans.
The Department of Health and the Department of Human Services recently announced they would provide $6 million to fund the rollout of new technology, which will allow providers to connect to a statewide system that links a growing number of hospitals, clinics and doctors. The departments will hold a webinar on May 1 with the New Jersey Innovation Institute, which is overseeing the project, so that interested behavioral-health organizations can learn more about the process.
Under Gov. Phil Murphy, state health officials have prioritized the use of data and new technology to target those most in need of services and to improve outcomes. They said the funding for electronic health records, or EHRs, will allow community-based providers to access more medical information about their patients quickly, and better enable them to connect these patients to long-term care for their addictions, or treatments for other diseases. (Most people with substance use disorders also suffer from other chronic health conditions.)
"The key winners here are patients with addiction. Equipping substance use clinics with modern electronic records, and connecting those records together into a single network with hospitals and other clinic types, allows clinicians access to the full scope of information when patients come in for care," said health commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal. "This leads to better care decisions that can be life-saving — especially for patients that come in right after an overdose. It also allows case managers, navigators, and recovery coaches to coordinate care more easily."
Overall, state officials are pushing to connect all healthcare providers electronically through the New Jersey Health Information Network, or NJHIN, a network of shared data run by the Innovation Institute. Elnahal told lawmakers during a budget hearing last week that the NJHIN now compiles data from some 6,0000 physicians, 91 nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, 65 acute-care hospitals, and three Federally Qualified Health Centers. (He also said all the state's 72 hospitals will need to be connected by July 2021 if they want to continue to receive state charity care funding.)
Struggling to get money for new technology
Despite the benefits involved, many of the roughly 200 community-based behavioral healthcare providers that contract with the state have struggled to find the money to invest in new technology. Six in 10 reported needing new or upgraded systems to link to the NJHIN, according to the New Jersey Association of Mental Health and Addiction Agencies, which is working with state officials and the Innovation Institute on the expansion. Many are nonprofits that already find it difficult to cover their regular monthly costs, and some have experienced multi-million-dollar state funding cuts in recent years.
"Prompt and secure exchange of health information among healthcare providers is key to delivering quality health care. For too long, there hasn't been the same focus and investment in the technology capacity of substance use disorder treatment providers as there has been for other providers," said Carole Johnson, DHS commissioner. "As part of our comprehensive strategy to combat the opioid epidemic, the Murphy Administration is changing that by investing in electronic health records for behavioral health care providers."
Murphy pledged $100 million to address opioid addiction in his latest budget proposal, which must be approved by lawmakers by July 1, with an estimated $13 million to be directed toward technology in particular; he included a similar investment in the current budget year. But despite a marked decrease in prescribing practices related to pharmaceutical opiates, and growing treatment capacity, tens of thousands of New Jerseyans are still unable to get the help they need; last year, some 3,000 residents died of drug-related issues.
"The fact is we all know there is a national opioid crisis," said Tomas Gregorio, the Innovation Institute's senior vice president. "In New Jersey, one of the biggest hurdles to combating this epidemic is the ability to share patient information between healthcare providers. Promoting secure interoperability between providers' electronic health records via the NJHIN is one of the most effective tools for delivering critical information when needed most."
Regardless of the need, limitations in federal statutes have generally prevented the behavioral-health providers from accessing funding or incentive programs designed to expand the use of EHRs, state officials said. This led the state to start its own effort to promote interoperability within this group. (However, the state funding is not available to organizations that offer mental health services alone, without addiction treatment, raising concerns for some that more than five dozen providers might be excluded from this source of support.)
"Substance use treatment providers are finally going to receive a much-needed financial boost to assist them with adopting and implementing electronic health record systems," said June Noto, NJAMHAA's vice president of information technology and other services. "NJAMHAA is excited to be a part of this new incentive program to advance providers to the next level of care coordination and to be a part of promoting interoperability."

Consider me vexed by the glut of pro-Fed conservatives who seem to exist at times just to bash those of us who lament the very existence of central banking. The point of Ron and Rand Paul agitation against the Fed isn't to convert us back to gold immediately. It's to raise awareness on an incredibly complex and opaque institution that approximately no one understands. Rome wasn't built in a day and the Federal Reserve isn't going to be reigned in and/or dismantled at once either.
In light of the discussion surrounding Yuval Levin's new book The Great Debate: Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine and the Birth of Right and Left, it's fine for some conservatives to champion monetarism and cite Milton Friedman and advocate a more tempered attitude towards the Fed. That would be considered a Burkean approach because it takes the world as is and tries to build on what works ("its best self). And for all its flaws and infringements on good principle and sound economics, the central bank does work to a degree, and there are arguments that can be mounted in defense of it. Many respected writers on the right, including Ramesh Ponnuru and James Pethokoukis, defend monetary policy on the grounds that it has largely generated stability while preventing deflationary cycles that end with catastrophic runs on banks. But it's more important in my view to adopt the Paineian approach and take a principled stand on the very idea of central banks. Thomas Paine believed fervently that every generation enjoyed its own autonomy and that no generation was really bound to its past. Contra Burke, who viewed the past as predicate and emphasized the preservation of institutions and of all the things that are "good" in a society as the true means to achieving progress, Paine saw every custom or cultural institution as a shackle. I'll have a lot more to say on the fascinating debate between Burke and Paine, as I still am not sure if I agree with Levin's ultimate siding with the Burkean disposition, especially as it relates to politics in 2014. The Paineian impulse to rely on reason and principle over tradition and custom in a quest to remake society anew according to each successive generation's own desires explains why Levin asserts that Paine was an important precursor to the idea of the left. That he went on to fully endorse the French Revolution and its obsession with eradicating all remnants of French history supports this claim. When aimed at corrupt institutions though, Paine's radicalism certainly has its merits, and principled opposition to the institution of the Federal Reserve would certainly have earned plaudits from Paine. The free market and the prosperity that flows from it is an organic process that is only corrupted by arbitrary third parties, and Paine loathed anything with arbitrary power to infringe on individual rights. Powerful and untrammeled as it is, the Fed cannot ever possess enough knowledge to know what optimal rates, yields or prices should be. It can get lucky guessing on occasion, but it can never know as much as the invisible hand.
My question for pro-Fed conservatives who tout their Burkean incrementalism in addressing problems with the central bank and who urge prudence and caution among those flying the End The Fed flag is simple: why is Burke's method of building upon status quo institutions rather than abolishing them and starting over applicable to the Federal Reserve but not to the welfare state generally? Few if any modern conservatives are proponents of the welfare state – in principle and practice – and most of us are rabid Paine acolytes when it comes to our wishes to curtail both the welfare state and the permanent federal bureaucracy, and "curtail" is probably putting it lightly. Most conservatives and libertarians in 2014 want to see a comprehensive abolition of executive agencies, bureaucratic departments, and welfare state programs. That is not exactly a Burkean outlook. So why do most establishment conservatives insist on Burkean politics regarding the Fed while emulating Paine in their desire to see our government reclaim its first principles?
I understand there are cogent arguments for Fed-provided stability, particularly in the realm of inflation and deflation. Neither is desirable, but inflation is usually preferable to deflation, and the Fed has done a decent job at times of keeping inflation in check while effectively neutralizing the threat of deflation entirely. The problem is that central bank currency printing and bond purchasing alike create illusions of stability and growth while concealing the fact that markets and industries are just receiving distorted price signals which result in a mis-allocation of resources. The very instruments the Fed deploys to facilitate a stable business cycle contribute paradoxically to its volatility. Central planners can't eliminate the boom-bust cycle in part because they themselves are responsible for it. It's true that there were panics and crashes prior to the establishment of the Federal Reserve. But the introduction of the Fed did nothing to ease the trend; we've had as many or more wild rides with the economy in the Fed era than not. Bubbles form when credit is recklessly expanded, and you don't need a central bank to recklessly expand credit. Whether you're looking at the Panic of 1819 or a liquidity crisis of the late 1890's, volatility and boom-bust cycles are always a risk, central bank or no.
The Fed creates false incentives (i.e. bubbles) that always lead to crashes. Bubbles are vile because lots of wealth and resources get woefully misallocated, but few are aware of the mal-investment due to the Fed's instruments (like QE) that cloak and conceal the distortion. I understand Milton Friedman's Burkean insight that central banking is probably here to stay so conservatives might as well figure out how to deal with it and make it least harmful to the market economy as possible, and to a large extent conservatives have succeeded in this arena. Ronald Reagan and Paul Voelcker's partnership in the early 80's showed how conservatives can work with the Fed Chairman to combat the rampant inflation carried over from the 70's. But economic imperatives like inflation, energy prices and stagnation are very different today than they were at the dawn of the Reagan Revolution. Because Reagan succeeded so thoroughly in launching a three decade plus paradigm shift in American economic optimism and output, circumstances have changed (for the better) and the pressing demands of today's stagnant economy have changed as well. As the progressives continue to cement chronic unemployment as a "new normal" and behave with utter hostility towards the private economy, conservatives need to point out that the income inequality progressives are going on about has only been made worse by their policies and the Fed's ability to hide the true nature of a pathetic economy through money printing. Oh, and all that quantitative easing and debt monetization did was enhance the balance sheets of some very big and very wealthy banks.

A possible hepatitis A exposure has occurred at the J Mart Diner in Redfield, Arkansas, according to the Arkansas Department of Health. An employee who worked there from July 17 through August 2, 2019 tested positive for the virus. That restaurant is located at 1101 Sheridan Road. Officials say that anyone who ate there on those days should get a hepatitis A vaccination immediately. Unfortunately, this vaccination is only effective if given within two weeks of exposure. So any customer who was at the J Mart Diner before July 26, 2019 can only monitor themselves for symptoms of the illness. The Arkansas Department of Health will host vaccine clinics in Grant and Jefferson counties on Friday, August 9, 2019. The vaccines will be available from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm at the Grant County … [Read more...]
