Obama Considers Extending COBRA Subsidy | workforce.com
This short article caught my eye:
The intended and unintended consequences of the subsidy will be interesting to follow.

Studies have shown that the lifetime prevalence of psychiatric disorders is lower in Mediterranean countries than in countries of northern Europe, and it is “plausible” that diet may contribute, the researchers wrote in the October Archives of General Psychiatry.
The evidence for CRP as a solid risk factor for CHD remains mixed.
I recently upgraded my computer to a Gateway with an Intel Quad core CPU running the Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. Here is what I’ve learned:
- Parallel ports aren’t supported anymore. I can’t use Old Faithful, my ancient laser printer.
- A number of my older software programs won’t run on a 64-bit OS.
- The meaning of the phrase “negative transfer of training”
My primary machine got nailed with a nasty virus a few months ago and I’d been working with my hot spare backup. Just as I was getting used to working with Windows XP I am now having to learn how to use Vista. I began having a negative transfer of training experience.
It’s been a few days and I’m better now. I like my new computer. One major plus is the computer came with a set of recovery disks. I used these to configure my old machine which now becomes my hot spare. Same setup as my primary machine. When I need to use it, I’ll load up my programs and data and I’m good to go.
Note I said “when” not “if”.

Scarred by a barrage of layoffs in recent years, these workers like the control over their lives and diversity in the source of paychecks.
