| Australia: Extend Medicare To Cut Waiting Lists, Up Competition |
| Extending Medicare to include private hospitals could lower Australians' reliance on private health insurance and reduce waiting lists, a health economics expert says. Professor Jim Butler, Director of the Australian Centre for Economic Research on Health (ACERH) based at ANU, says that opening up private hospitals to more patients will have a double benefit: reducing queues for public hospitals, and making public and private hospitals more competitive. |

Radiant! A glowing Madonna and hubby Guy Ritchie were seen making their way out of the Queen of Pop's 50th birthday celebration, Saturday in London.

| Hello World |
| Welcome to this new blog. All my old stuff has been saved and it continues to be available at the old urls (well... at least this is what I'm trying to do). But from this post on I'm continuing with a new tool, a new template and hopefully some new ideas. I wonder if there's still anybody out there. :-) |

| Here's a customer service pet peeve that I've developed recently. If you have tried to return anything recently, you may have noticed that retailers have fairly seriously tightened up their return policies. I realize that the point is to catch "serial returners" who buy merchandise regularly knowing they are going to return it. But in my opinion, when the "net" starts to catch consumers with legitimate issues, it has been cast too wide. According to the National Retail Federation, about 40 percent of retailers have tightened their policies. My most recent aggravation? Baby Gap refusing to take back a baby gift...with a gift receipt...after 90 days. Baby presents are often purchased before...well before...a child is born (for showers, etc.), so the 90 day return rule is not only insufficient, is fails to recognize the fact that among the priorities of new parents in the first three months or less of a baby's birth is NOT returning gifts that don't fit or otherwise don't suit. It seems to me that the Gap is well aware of this and is merely seeking to halt returns. Here's a recent article from USA Today about the trend if you'd like to read more. TES

Elizabeth Hurley brought her boobs out last night. Now I don’t know if she was drunk while these pictures were taken or if she was just miserable due to the fact that she married that dude but whatever the case, she doesn’t look happy. I think she needs a good motorboating to cheer her up. That ought to turn that frown upside down.
