clipped from www.alzheimersreadingroom.com Forty percent of Alzheimer's caregivers end up suffering from depression. Do you want to see this happen to a loved one or friend? Like it or not, if you are a family member or friend of an Alzheimer's caregiver and you are not helping them--you have abandoned them. I am sure this sounds harsh. But, it's not even close to the harshness of your own behavior. Alzheimer's is a sinister disease--it kills the brain of the person suffering from Alzheimer's. And, it will try to kill the brain of the Alzheimer's caregiver. |

80 Percent of Medical Bills Contain Errors -- Fighting Mistakes
clipped from www.alzheimersreadingroom.com Problems with medical billing errors drive me crazy. Not our bills, but the medical bills of relatives and friends. They complain to me all the time. I start by telling them--you are complaining to the wrong person. Then I explain to them what to do about it--pick up the phone and call whoever is billing you. I learned a long time ago, you can negotiate down the price of any medical bill. Don't be afraid to pick up the phone and say--I refuse to pay that amount. Experience tells me that you can get a 20 percent reduction just by opening your mouth--by being proactive. By the way, being proactive does not mean being mean. Start by remembering this, the person on the other end of the phone is just like you or me--they are doing a job. So treat them with respect. You can get more with sugar then you can with vinegar. If you run into a brick wall, try the above then use my favorite word--Supervisor. |

The Fed Balance Sheet -- Reserve Balances Outstanding (Graph)
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke discusses the impact of the Fed Balance sheet and the task of unwinding when the economy begins to recover, or if inflation begins to rise.
It should be obvious from the chart that this will be a daunting task. I guess you could believe in miracles. My guess is that the best strategy is to get a healthy investment in stocks that will benefit from rising inflation .

It should be obvious from the chart that this will be a daunting task. I guess you could believe in miracles. My guess is that the best strategy is to get a healthy investment in stocks that will benefit from rising inflation .
The large volume of reserve balances outstanding must be monitored carefully, as--if not carefully managed--they could complicate the Fed's task of raising short-term interest rates when the economy begins to recover or if inflation expectations were to begin to move higher. We have a number of tools we can use to reduce bank reserves or increase short-term interest rates when that becomes necessary.
- First, many of our lending programs extend credit primarily on a short-term basis and thus could be wound down relatively quickly. In addition, since the lending rates in these programs are typically set above the rates that prevail in normal market conditions, borrower demand for these facilities should wane as conditions improve.
- Second, the Federal Reserve can conduct reverse repurchase agreements against its long-term securities holdings to drain bank reserves or, if necessary, it could choose to sell some of its securities. Of course, for any given level of the federal funds rate, an unwinding of lending facilities or a sale of securities would constitute a de facto tightening of policy, and so would have to be carefully considered in that light by the FOMC.
- Third, some reserves can be soaked up by the Treasury's Supplementary Financing Program. Fourth, in October of last year, the Federal Reserve received long-sought authority to pay interest on the reserve balances of depository institutions. Raising the interest rate paid on reserves will encourage depository institutions to hold reserves with the Fed, rather than lending them into the federal funds market at a rate below the rate paid on reserves. Thus, the interest rate paid on reserves will tend to set a floor on the federal funds rate.
