Population aging will have long-term implications for economy

Major policy changes needed
WASHINGTON The aging of the U.S. population will have broad economic consequences for the country, particularly for federal programs that support the elderly, and its long-term effects on all generations will be mediated by how -- and how quickly -- the nation responds, says a new congressionally mandated report from the National Research Council. The unprecedented demographic shift in which people over age 65 make up an increasingly large percentage of the population is not a temporary phenomenon associated with the aging of the baby boom generation, but a pervasive trend that is here to stay.
"The bottom line is that the nation has many good options for responding to population aging," said Roger Ferguson, CEO of TIAA-CREF and co-chair of the committee that wrote the report. "Nonetheless, there is little doubt that there will need to be major changes in the structure of federal programs, particularly those for health. The transition to sustainable policies will be smoother and less costly if steps are taken sooner rather than later."
Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are on unsustainable paths, and the failure to remedy the situation raises a number of economic risks, the report says. Together, the cost of the three programs currently amounts to roughly 40 percent of all federal spending and 10 percent of the nation's gross domestic product. Because of overall longer life expectancy and lower birth rates, these programs will have more beneficiaries with relatively fewer workers contributing to support them in the coming decades. Combined with soaring health care costs, population aging will drive up public health care expenditures and demand an ever-larger fraction of national resources.
Population aging is also occurring in other industrialized nations, so any consequences for the U.S. must be considered in the broader context of a global economy. Adapting to this new economic landscape entails costs and policy options with different implications for which generations will bear the costs or receive the benefits. Recent policy actions have attempted to address health care costs, but their effects are as yet unclear. According to the report, the ultimate national response will likely be some combination of major structural changes to public support programs, more savings during people's working years, and longer working lives.
"The nation needs to rethink its outlook and policies on working and retirement," said Ronald Lee, professor of demography and economics at the University of California, Berkeley, and committee co-chair. "Although 65 has conventionally been considered a normal retirement age, it is an increasingly obsolete threshold for defining old age and for setting benefits for the elderly." The committee found that there is substantial potential for increased labor force participation at older ages, which would boost national output, slow the draw-down on retirement savings, and allow workers to save longer. The report adds that longer working lives would have little effect on employment opportunities for younger workers, productivity, or innovation.
In addition, workers can better prepare for retirement by planning ahead and adapting their saving and spending habits, the report suggests. Improved financial literacy will be critical, since between one-fifth and two-thirds of today's older population have not saved enough for retirement and therefore rely heavily on Social Security and Medicare.
More research in areas such as health measurement and projections, capacity to work, and changes in consumption and saving will help to inform decision making, but the report emphasizes the need to act now in order to craft a balanced response.
"Population aging does not pose an insurmountable challenge provided that sensible policies are implemented with enough lead time to allow people, companies, and other institutions to respond," Ferguson said.
A follow-up study from the National Research Council will look more in-depth at the long-term macroeconomic effects of population aging and provide quantitative assessments of specific policy choices.

iPhone 5 Could Be the Last of the Red-Hot iPhones
Apple had a very good weekend, with sales of its new iPhone 5 surpassing 5 million. That's about a million units more than it sold during the iPhone 4S' first weekend a year ago. However, the weekend likely wasn't as good for those who were left empty-handed on Monday, as AT&T, Verizon and Sprint stores reportedly were sold out.

Tiny Israel Town Makes Big Soccer Splash
September 21, 2012, 1:25pm
By Elliot Olshansky
With a population of just over 23,000, the northern Israeli city of Kiryat Shmona doesn?t often get a chance to stand out on the map of Israel. On Thursday, however, the city?s Israeli Premier League soccer club took a big step towards putting its hometown on the map in Europe.
This past spring, Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona, won the league title, marking the first time in nearly three decades that Israel?s champion didn?t come from Jerusalem, Tel Aviv or Haifa.
After a long bid towards qualifying for the UEFA Champions League group stage fell just short this summer, Kiryat Shmona opened play Thursday in the second-tier UEFA Europa League, playing to a 1-1 away draw with Spanish club Athletic Bilboa.
Kiryat Shmona is one of two Israeli clubs in the Europa League group stage, joined by Hapoel Tel Aviv. Hapoel, known as ?The Workers,? opened up Europa League play at home on Thursday against the defending champions, Atl?tico Madrid, dropping a 3-0 decision at Bloomfield Stadium.
Despite the mixed results, one can argue that competing in Europe in and of itself represents a win.
Of course, it doesn?t take a geography major to point out that Israel isn?t actually in Europe. However, after the Israel Football Association was expelled from the Asian Football Confederation in 1974 - Arab and Muslim nations refused to play Israel - the country was left without a soccer home until the early 90s, when the Union of European Football Associations welcomed Israel as a member.
In a sense, living well may be the best revenge for Israel?s ouster from Asian football. Through competition in the Europa League this year, Israel will welcome clubs from Spain, France, Portugal and the Czech Republic. Hapoel Tel Aviv is in a group with Atl?tico Madrid, Czech club Viktoria Plzen and Portuguese side Acad?mica, while Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona is grouped with Athletic Bilbao, French power Olympique Lyonnais and Czech club Sparta Prague. On four occasions since Israel became a UEFA member, Israeli clubs have advanced to the group stage of the Champions League, the world?s most prestigious international club competition, and world-famous clubs like Olympique Lyonnais, Italian power Juventus and German club Bayern Munich (last year?s Champions League runner-up) have played in Israel. Maccabi Haifa even bested Manchester United in the group stage of the 2002-03 Champions League, but that match was played in Cyprus, as UEFA had banned international matches in Israel at the time.
Of course, there is a flip side to Israel?s UEFA membership. As a UEFA member, Israel faces a much harder road to the FIFA World Cup than it would in Asia (the country?s football home when it last qualified for the World Cup in 1970). Israel?s national team got a taste of just how hard the road will be last week, when Russia scored a 4-0 victory at Ramat Gan Stadium. After two games, Israel is last in its World Cup qualifying group - which also includes Portugal, Luxembourg, Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan - with a second-place finish or better necessary for having a chance to play in the 2014 World Cup in Rio de Janeiro. Now at 40 years and counting, Israel?s World Cup participation drought begs the question of whether Israel is better off as a member of UEFA or the AFC.
Of course, in the larger sense, Israel would be much better off if officially recognized by its Arab neighbors, which would likely bring a return to the AFC. Until that day comes, however, it?s worth asking whether being part of Europe is actually a plus.

New Jersey bans smiling in driver's license photos
New Jersey recently instituted a policy that prohibits residents from grinning in their driver's license pics, Read writes.
Commuters take to the crowded LA freeways after work. In New Jersey, drivers are banned from smiling in their license photo because smiles can confuse facial recognition software.

But if you live in New Jersey, don't go smiling about all that when you're posing for your driver's license photo, or you'll have to do the whole thing over.
According to?NJ.com, New Jersey recently instituted a policy that prohibits residents from grinning in their driver's license pics. That's not because the state wants drivers to look dour, as though they fully understand the solemn responsibility that comes with having a license.
No, it's because smiles any larger than the one shown on the sample license above can confuse facial recognition software.
Philly.com?says that?DMVs have begun using such software to catch driver's license applicants who might be assuming someone's identity to create a fake ID: "If a new photo, for example, matches an old one that carries a different name, a red flag goes up, and investigators step in."
Over time, we have a hunch that policies like this will create a database of faces, just like the existing fingerprint database. Ultimately, law enforcement agents will be able to use that database to pick out perps from security camera footage after a crime has been committed.
Which may or may not be a reason to smile, depending on your point of view.

Creativity | Sandi's Self Improvement Blog
Hello
I remember at school, being encouraged to be creative. ?In between Maths, Science and Geography came Art, Textiles and Home Economics. ?In between writing essays and analysing newspaper articles for English came creative writing. ?I have been working for many years now, and every now and then something comes along and I am suddenly able to be creative and I love it. ?At the moment my organisation is trying to look at new ways of doing things, and adopting a Kaizen philosophy and culture ? I don?t know if I have mentioned it before but here is a link to a bit of information about Kaizen: ?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizen
I am helping some people put together a quarterly Kaizen ?Bulletin? for our department to promote Kaizen, share current initiatives under way, and the other day I got some ideas about how to help make it an appealing document that people will want to read, click on links and for it to be colourful and appealing. ?One of the other guys started suggesting we add webcasts and other fancy things to it, and suddenly we were being creative. ?We work in a financial organisation, and to be able to play with pictures and graphics and colour was so refreshing. ?I even found myself playing with it at home ? and I generally avoid bringing work home at all costs!
Toastmasters has allowed me to be a little more creative, too, as my speech topics are really up to me. ?It has had my brain working in a different way, and all this recent creativity has reminded me how much I enjoy creative writing. ?I remembered bragging to my Mum that I would write a novel some day, as she read her Mills & Boon romances I scoffed and said ?I could write one of those?. ?Me, with very little romance in my life at the time, such arrogance! ?But it has my brain buzzing a little lately, remembering that brag ? that I would write and potentially be published some day.
Creativity, creative dreams ? I enjoy my hobbies, and that monster I knitted recently was done without a pattern. ?But I struggle for ideas much of the time, when I try to force creativity ? I love to write and scribble and draw but none of it is taken seriously by me. ?I wonder what is waiting to be hatched inside my brain?
Maybe I?m just listening to too much The Trouble with Templeton ?

Deciding on a Waiting Child in a Korean Adoption | Being Pregnant
I told you all a couple of weeks ago that we had been sent an email with waiting children from our agency. We inquired about 2, and about a week later were notified one little boy was still looking for a family. Since then, we have been following the agency set guidelines of contacting a pediatrician who specializes in international adoption and talking with her in detail about all of our waiting child?s medical records.
Sam and I have spent long nights talking about if we can handle worse case scenario and ? even if we could ? would that be best for this little boy? Are we certain that if Sam was gone, I would be able to care for him more than adequately, yet still give Bella time and attention? Are we willing to do this forever, because once he?s here, he?s ours. Always.
This was not an easy decision to make. Our family had their thoughts, friends chimed in with good things to think about, but it came down to us. Just us.
Tuesday, I sat down and wrote our agency about some of the questions that were left unanswered medically. They provided a bit more information but nothing major. The agency didn?t pressure but said to keep in mind that with all adoptions, there were simply things that would always remain unknowns. We had to choose if we were comfortable with these.
So we made a decision. Right then. Right there. We put all our knowledge and feelings and emotions into one email that said:
:)
Hooray! We are so excited! We feel certain, as much as we can, that we have made the right choice to move forward.
While this doesn?t mean he?s going to be ours for sure, it means we are ready to move into that next process to get there. Next comes a huge amount of paperwork with questions that ask us about raising a child of a different culture and race, along with dealing with being a interracial family and helping adopted children cope and grieve.
Each week our agency has 3-5 social workers that meet to look over our answers, homestudy, and our waiting child?s file to see if the parents would be a good match for the child. As far as I know, this only happens with waiting children. Otherwise in a regular referral, you?ve already been approved as being able to care for the child referred to you. We asked for him directly so they need to make sure his needs match up with our abilities.
If they approve us, we?re set. We should know next week.
Oh people. FINGERS CROSSED. We are thrilled and nervous and terrified and over the moon all in one.
We want so very much for this little boy to be a part of our family.

Couple charged with selling neighbor's dog on Craigslist
By Andrew Mach, NBC News
A couple in Pennsylvania is facing criminal charges for selling their neighbor?s lost puppy on Craigslist instead of returning it, according to police. ?
Police in Leechburg, Pa., said two dogs, a Rottweiler and a golden retriever mix, wandered onto the property of Scott Duff, 41, and Roxanne Duff, 38, on September 3.
After discovering the animals, police say, Roxanne Duff left a phone message for police saying she was unsure what to do with them.
Leechburg Police Officer Christopher Laird returned Roxanne Duff?s message, recommending that she contact either an animal shelter or a local dog kennel, according to a police report. He told her he would contact her if they find dogs? owner. During that call,?Roxanne Duff allegedly told Laird that the Rottweiler puppy had run away since her initial report.

Later in the evening, Laird received a call from the dogs? owner, Shawn Lerch, who said Duff had returned his golden retriever but not the Rottweiler. Lerch said he believed his dog was still in the area and suspected the Duffs were keeping him, despite what he had been told.
When Laird knocked on his neighbor's door, Scott Duff answered and allegedly denied having the puppy.?The next day, Lerch called police again, saying he believed the dog was still at the Duffs' house, according to the report.
This time, police chief Michael Diebold went to the Duffs' home, where he found the couple's five-year-old son and his babysitter. According to the police report, the child said, ?his mommy had given the dog to a woman from the Internet."
Diebold contacted Scott Duff again and told him what his child had said. Duff told him he had no knowledge of this and said he only knew that the puppy had escaped from his yard. A short time later,?Duff called police back and allegedly admitted that his wife had placed an ad and sold the dog on Craigslist for $50.?

After police located the woman who bought the Rottweiler, who said she was unaware of the theft. Roxanne Duff went to Pittsburgh, where the woman lived, to retrieve the dog, and it was returned to Lerch.
Police charged the Duffs last week with not making a reasonable effort to return lost property, two counts of conspiracy and false reporting.
The couple is due in court for a preliminary hearing on October 31.?

ObamaCare's Health Insurance Rebates May Make Insurance More ...
The Department of Health and Human Services has taken to touting ObamaCare's alleged consumer benefits, and in particular the rebates insurers are now required to send customers thanks to the law's medical loss ratio (MLR) rule, also known as the 80/20 rule.
That provision requires health insurers to spend at least 80* percent of collected premium dollars on medical care. If not, they have to rebate the difference to the customer. This year, insurers rebated slightly over $1 billion, or about $151 per person on average. ?Thanks to the law," HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a press release discussing the provision, "our health care system is more transparent and more competitive, and that?s saving Americans real money.??
Journalists covering the provision have often made similar points. ABC News reported this summer that the rule is "aimed at holding health insurance companies accountable for how they spend the money collected through premiums." On the same day the ABC News piece ran, CBS let the world know that the health law "requires insurers to spend premiums on patients ? or pay rebates." USA Today published a news report that boreder on advertorial under the headline "Health insurance rebates may keep premiums down for everyone."?
Or they may not. Not one of these articles noted that the provision is actually likely to make health insurance premiums more expensive. For that, you'll have to turn to the folks at NPR's Planet Money. Reporter David Kestenbaum called six health economists. "No one thought the provision would do much good,"reports Kestenbaum, "and several thought it could be harmful." That list includes one of ObamaCare architects and supporters, Jonathan Gruber.?
Why are economists so sour on the provision? The worry is that rather than look for ways to control costs, insurers will simply let spending balloon, leading to higher premiums ? and bigger profits. It's easier to cover someone's health costs on 80 percent of $1,000 than it is on 80 percent of $100. And because insurer profits and other administrative costs must come from the remaining 20 percent, there's a larger pool from which to draw profits and business expenses.?
But as the administration surely knows, a check in the mail is easier to see than cost restraint, and lower premiums, in the absence of those rebates. Indeed, the administration has worked to ensure that customers know exactly where those rebate checks are coming from. Health insurers sending out rebates this year were required to include a letter stating in the first paragraph that the rebates are required by ObamaCare. ?
I'm glad to see that Planet Money is giving this provision some of the scrutiny it deserves, though I wish more attention would have been paid to it before now. For that, you would have had to look here, here,?here, here, here, here, and here.?
*Changed to say 80 percent, not 20 percent.?

American Airlines sends thousands of layoff notices
Mary Altaffer / AP
American Airlines has told over 11,000 workers they could lose their jobs as part of its reorganization.
By Roland Jones, NBC News
American Airlines has told over 11,000 workers they could lose their jobs as part of its reorganization in bankruptcy.
However, the U.S. airline, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection?in November, said it expects that fewer than 40 percent of those it sent notices to, or 4,400 people, will actually be laid off in November and December.
The job cut notifications come as a result of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, which requires workers to be told about major layoffs or plant closures 60 days in advance.
Jamie Horwitz, a spokesman for the Transport Workers Union, a representative for workers that received WARN Act notices said the layoff notices ?will look worse than the actual layoffs.?
Horwitz said about 800 employees had agreed to leave American voluntarily, a move that will further reduce the number of expected layoffs. American said in February it planned to cut up to 14,000 jobs as part of a plan to slim down its operations in bankruptcy.
American also said it is cutting flights by one to two percent for the rest of September and October.
The cuts are partly due to an increase in pilot sick days and greater maintenance reports by flight crews led to flight cancellations and delays, Hicks said. American operates about 1,700 flights a day.
According to flight tracking service FlightAware.com, over the past two weeks American Airlines has canceled more flights than any other major U.S. airline.

The Note's Must-Reads for Thursday, September 20, 2012
The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News' Jayce Henderson, Amanda VanAllen, and Carrie Halperin
PRESIDENT OBAMA: The New York Times' Peter Baker and Eric Lipton:"I n Tight Race, Obama Wields All Levers of Power in Reach" For months, government lawyers and economists worked behind the scenes to develop a trade case against China. Then last month came a eureka moment: They confirmed the existence of a Chinese subsidy program for automobiles and parts that in their view violated international trade rules. LINK
Bloomberg's Jonathan D. Salant: " Poll Finds Obama in Better Shape Than Any Nominee Since Clinton" President Barack Obama is in a better position to win November's election than any presidential candidate since Bill Clinton in 1996, according to a nationwide poll released today that shows him with an eight-percentage- point lead among likely voters. LINK
MITT ROMNEY: ABC News' Gregory J. Kreig and Emily Friedman: " Romney Vows to Be President for 'the 100 Percent'" Mitt Romney said three times in the opening 10 minutes of tonight's Univision "Meet the Candidate" forum that his campaign is "about the 100 percent," a clear message to voters who have been swamped with sound bites and video clips that show the candidate suggesting he wasn't concerned about the nearly half of the country unlikely to vote for him. "My campaign is about the 100 percent of America," Romney said to the University of Miami crowd. LINK
The Wall Street Journal's Mary Lu Carnevale: " Romney on Helping the Poor: 'I Can. He Can't.'" Mitt Romney again tried to correct a perception, sparked by a secretly recorded video, that he has little concern for those who aren't well off. "The question of this campaign is not who cares about the poor and the middle class. I do. He does. The question is: Who can help the poor and the middle class? I can! He can't!" he told donors at an Atlanta fundraiser, referring to President Barack Obama. LINK
The Boston Globe's Matt Viser: " Romney's words hinder his campaign" There is deep unease among Republicans, and no shortage of advice for Mitt Romney on how to right his campaign ship in the seven weeks remaining before the election. Some have called for a campaign staff shake-up. Others want Romney to be more visible on the campaign trail. They want more backbone, bigger ideas, and sharper ads. LINK
The Los Angeles Times' Seema Mehta: " Romney tells Latino audience he would fix immigration system" Mitt Romney sought to assuage Latino voters Wednesday, downplaying positions he took on immigration during the GOP primaries, vowing to seek a bipartisan solution and castigating President Obama for failing to keep promises he made to the fast-growing population segment. Obama "said in the first year, among his highest priorities would be to fix the immigration system. But he never even filed a bill," Romney said. "So it's time to put politics aside, and I will actually fix the immigration system and make it work for the people of America." LINK
The Washington Times' Seth McLaughlin: " Romney escalates attack on Obama's economic vision" Far from backing away, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and his campaign are embracing his claim that nearly half of Americans are dependent on government as they seek to frame the race as a choice between the GOP's wealth-creation policies and what they called President Obama's wealth-redistribution message. LINK
Politico's Mike Allen and Jim Vandehei: " Romney rescue plan: More Mitt" After taking a beating for comments he privately wishes he never made and from conservative critics he wishes he could muzzle, Mitt Romney and his campaign are settling on a rescue plan to show more of him - in ads, speeches and campaign appearances. LINK
PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES: USA Today's Catalina Camia: " Economy to rule in first Obama vs. Romney debate" In case there was any doubt, it's still all about the economy. President Obama and Mitt Romney will spend at least half of their first debate talking about the economy, based on the list of topics released today by moderator Jim Lehrer of PBS. LINK
GOP: The Hill's Molly Hooper: " Senate GOP leaders dodge questions on Romney's '47 percent' remarks" Senate Republican leaders on Wednesday didn't answer questions in front of TV cameras about Mitt Romney's controversial "47 percent" remarks. After their weekly caucus lunch, the GOP lawmakers faced the Capitol Hill media for the first time since the GOP presidential nominee's comments were leaked earlier this week. LINK

Lively, Reynolds wed days after secret ceremony
By Natalie Finn, E! Online
Matt Sayles / AP
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds should really consider a second career as international agents of mystery. While the duo's whirlwind courtship seemingly culminated in an intimate vow swap in South Carolina on Sept. 9, public records show that it wasn't until a few days later that they obtained a marriage license and tied the knot, E! News exclusively confirms.
According to Charleston County Probate Court, Blake Ellender Lively and Ryan Rodney Reynolds applied for their license Sept. 13 and their marriage date is listed as Sept. 14.

So, it would appear that the I-dos witnessed by their nearest and dearest were just the dress rehearsal for the real thing!
Reps for the supremely-secretive couple have not yet returned requests for comment. But, of course, even if it took a few extra days, the Green Lantern costars are certainly married now.
Meanwhile, the Lorraine Schwartz diamond-rocking Lively is already back at work following all the excitement kicked up by her dash to the altar.
Wedding dress details, straight from designer Georgina Chapman

Breath analysis could help diagnose pulmonary nodules, study shows
ScienceDaily (Sep. 15, 2012) ? A pilot study, published in the October 2012 issue of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer's (IASLC) Journal of Thoracic Oncology, showed that breath testing could be used to discriminate between benign and malignant pulmonary nodules. The study looked at 74 patients who were under investigation for pulmonary nodules and attended a referral clinic in Colorado between March 2009 and May 2010.
Researchers from Israel and Colorado collected exhaled breath from each patient, analyzing the exhaled volatile organic compounds using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry and information from chemical nanoarrays, which have been developed by Prof. Hossam Haick and his colleagues in the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. The patients also underwent a bronchoscopy, wedge resection and/or lobectomy, whichever was required for final diagnosis. Nodules that either regressed or remained stable over a 24-month period were considered benign.
The two techniques accurately identified that 53 pulmonary nodules were malignant and 19 were benign. Furthermore, the nanoarrays method discriminated between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma and between early versus advanced disease.
This kind of testing could help solve some of the problems computed tomography screening has created. While low-dose CT screening has reduced the mortality rate by 20 percent, many people have to undergo invasive procedures only to find out their pulmonary nodules are not cancerous. The false positive rate is 96 percent. This testing could serve as a secondary screener for patients who were found to have pulmonary nodules after CT screening.
Authors say, "the reported breath test in this study could have significant impact on reducing unnecessary investigation and reducing the risk of procedure-related morbidity and costs. In addition, it could facilitate faster therapeutic intervention, replacing time-consuming clinical follow-up that would eventually lead to the same intervention."
The leading authors of this work include Dr. Nir Peled, Meggie Hakim and IASLC member Dr. Hossam Haick. Co-authors include AISCL members Dr. Paul Bunn, Dr. York Miller, Dr. Fred Hirsch, Dr. Timothy Kennedy and Dr. John Mitchell.
