[11:50] {RonS} ...when was the last time you saw a guy running around with a stogie in his mouth?
01[11:52] {@Threei} The events in Greece are under the microscope this morning. European finance ministers have reiterated their non-committal stances regarding Syriza's demands for renegotiation, but the consensus seems to be that the EU is open to extension of debt terms and easing reform requirements.
01[11:53] {@Threei} The unanswered question is what Syriza will finally ask for. Note that the Independent Greece coalition party, while more conservative than left-wing Syriza, is just as uncompromising in its demands for renegotiation.
01[11:54] {@Threei} OPEC Secretary General El-Badri tried to call a bottom in oil this morning. El-Badri also said he was open to discussions with non-OPEC members to balance oil supply, warning that markets are oversupplied by 1.5 million bpd. He also said some OPEC upstream projects are being cancelled and that oil prices could rise to $200/bbl in three or four years if investment levels do not keep up.
01[11:54] {@Threei} imbecile
[11:54] {nemo} I like the kid hanging from the bridge
01[11:55] {@Threei} nemo, I understand ese is not coming to visit you just yet:
01[11:55] {@Threei} As of writing, nearly 1,800 flights have been canceled nationwide and another 1,600 already have been canceled for Tuesday.
[11:55] {nemo} lucky for him
[11:55] {RonS} syriza... isn't that resin-tasting greek maple syrup?
[11:55] {nemo} that sucked ron
01[11:55] {@Threei} there are maples in greece?
[11:56] {RonS} first maples in greece, then naples in italy
01[11:56] {@Threei} oh boy
[11:56] {cosmo} canceling those flights should help fight global warming...
[11:57] {RonS} ...where's my meds...
[11:57] {nemo} where ARE my meds
01[11:57] {@Threei} I kind of hoped maples are purely canadian trees... after all, we don't have olive trees here, would only be fair if Greece didn't have maples?
[11:57] {nemo} CAT going down
01[11:58] {@Threei} when global cooling starts, you'll regret ever fighting warming cosmo
[11:59] {nemo} sheesh...we've had colder than normal winters and summers for the last 3 years
01[11:59] {@Threei} doesn't matter nemo, propaganda machine doesn't turn around that quickly
[11:59] {nemo} we about to enter the coldest 10 day stretch in decades
01[12:00] {@Threei} progression of propaganda:
01[12:00] {@Threei} global cooling - global warming - climate change - climate instability
01[12:01] {@Threei} cooling was not so cool anymore after some wqrm period, warming stopped being hot after some cooldown,
[12:02] {RonS} ...all Mark Twain's fault
01[12:02] {@Threei} change sounded not so different since climate always changes,
01[12:02] {@Threei} instability is currently holding up, for now
[12:02] {nemo} VXX
01[12:03] {@Threei} (see what I did in all 4 cases? Ron's fault...)
[12:04] {nemo} Ron's a right-wing reactionary
01[12:05] {@Threei} anything's wrong with that?
[12:05] {RonS} Twain: : "everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it"
[12:05] {nemo} did I say there was?

01[12:48] {@Threei} (US) Obama Admin releases plan to control healthcare costs in Medicare program by moving toward focus on qualitative care rather than fee-for-service - press - Health and Human Services says it plans to migrate health care spending away from costly fee-for-service charges and toward alternative payment models. Wants to move 50% of Medicare's payments to alternative payment models by 2018 (vs about 20% of Medicare payments currently going to healthcare providers with cost saving models today).
01[12:48] {@Threei} - The goal is to align healthcare spending toward payment models that link payments to providers to effective and management of patient treatments, rather than the fee-for-service model that has been blamed for boosting costs and authorizing unnecessary procedures.
01[12:49] {@Threei} interesting idea... can't imagine how it can be realized
