Be safe and enjoy the day. — Ron Rosner, Senior Editor e-edition                            obituaries Gillibrand bill would cap Medicare out-of-pocket expenses WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY and ranking member of the Senate Aging Committee  joined14 of her Senate colleagues, to introduce the Medicare Cost Cap Act to create a $5,000 cap on out-of-pocket costs for Traditional Medicare Parts A and B beneficiaries.

To bring them back from the brink of extirpation, or local extinction, DEC biologists devised a plan to reintroduce Bald Eagles into New York and increase their numbers through natural reproduction. During the summer of 1976, DEC workers placed two juvenile eagles in a human-made nest atop a […] Read more → Dr. Randy Cale’s Terriffic Parenting: The Balanced Summer: A Simple Plan for Fun, Freedom, and Responsibility In Part One, we looked at a common summer problem. Many children get plenty of entertainment, plenty of freedom, and plenty of leisure, but too little effort, responsibility, contribution, and growth. Summer becomes fun, yes. But it also becomes a season where basic habits collapse. By August, many parents are trying to rebuild routines, limit screens, restart reading, restore chores, and prepare children for school under pressure. There is a better way. A balanced summer does not require a complicated parenting system. It does not require constant lectures, elaborate charts, or daily battles over every small task. It simply […] Read more →
