Basket of snowballs

Timeless – this wee gift is quick and easy, and the snowballs will go down a treat. Recipe courtesy of health reporter Janine Rankin.

This is one for the kids – a foolproof gift that can be made easily and given to teachers, friends, uncles and aunts, and other small children. It also has the advantage of being a lot less messy than the classic baked claydough decoration.

You will need:

Old Christmas cards

Coloured paper for handles

Stapler

* Cut out five circular images of festive fun from Christmas cards. Place one face down, and staple the other four, picture out, to form a basket shape. Staple a handle to the top in the size you desire. Fill with snowballs and give to the happy recipient.

But why are they in the news now? Well due to the recent flooding in NJ, NH, PA, SC and the California Landslides a few years ago, the 2500 deaths in Guatemala from remnants of Hurricane Stan and of course the stuff we cannot not forget the Hurricanes Rita and Katrina. We must think about the number of humans each year who die from flooding and build our civilization stronger and better to accompany larger and more severe storm surges and extreme weather. Think on this.

6. Oats are a good source of many nutrients including vitamin E, zinc, selenium, copper, iron, manganese and magnesium. Oats are also a good source of protein.

The difference between insoluble and soluble fiber, besides the foods that they come from, is what they do in your body.

Insoluble fiber’s main role is that it makes stools heavier and speeds their passage through the gut, relieving constipation. Soluble fiber breaks down as it passes through the digestive tract, forming a gel that traps some substances related to high cholesterol, thus reducing the absorption of cholesterol into the bloodstream.

Oatmeal has a pretty bland taste which makes it hard for the average person to consume every morning.

Unlike other pets cats do not need much time, they only need to be given food and a little attention, for example dogs need to be walked on a regular basis and this can be very exhausting and time consuming. Cats can be a great pet for anyone because they are very adaptable and can live almost anywhere and would even live happily, healthy and comfortably in a small apartment. Cats are very affectionate, playful and loyal to people of all ages, to many people a cat makes the perfect pet.

Most domestic cats that people own are not pedigree cats, meaning that they are a mix of different breeds.

New Hampshire Business Review, Sep 11, 1998

Gov. Jeanne Shaheen has unveiled her HMO Accountability Act, which she says would hold HMOs accountable when they deny treatment to consumers.

The governor, at the news conference last month, said HMOs should be held accountable for the health of patients rather than the health of the insurance plans’ finances.

“For every New Hampshire citizen relying on an HMO, from a newborn baby to a senior citizen, we must make sure that HMO’s first priority is protecting their health, not protecting the health of the bottom line,” said Shaheen.

Her proposal would include procedures for people to challenge denial of benefits. It also would provide for reversals of HMO decisions, including an expedited appeal in life-threatening cases.

The legislation also would require HMOs to give consumers more information, provide independent review of treatment decisions and hold HMO directors accountable to the state.

The monthly increase in premiums to pay for the improved accountability would be between 3 and 13 cents per policy, Shaheen said.

The legislation is necessary, she said, because 80 percent of New Hampshire residents are covered by HMOs, compared to 28 percent four years ago.

Last year, she said, the state Insurance Department received 10,000 calls from consumers with questions and concerns about HMOs. The number this year is estimated at more than 13,000.

The original concept of managed care, she said, “still makes sense today: Delivery of health care should be coordinated to reduce costs and improve quality … but today HMOs are big businesses, driven all too often by the need to deliver profits to shareholders rather than by the obligation to provide care for families.”

Shaheen said federal legislation also is needed to give states more power to regulate HMOs.

But HMOs around the state responded that Shaheen’s plan was costly and an unnecessary intrusion by the state.

“We are happy to write insurance for anything that people are willing to pay for,” said Healthsource spokesman Lindsay Shearer.

At Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Hampshire, which owns the Matthew Thornton Health Plan, spokesman Clark Dumont said, “It is a competitive market, and if people aren’t satisfied, you won’t serve them any longer
