PFT: Arrest warrants out for ex-Lion WR Rogers

With the tea leaves continuing to point toward former Giants, Patriots, Jets, and Cowboys coach Bill Parcells coming out of retirement for a one-shot opportunity to win a walk-off Super Bowl and cement his Hall of Fame legacy, not much has been said about the in-house candidates for the interim head coaching job.

A league source tells PFT that the current Saints assistants who had been mentioned as potential replacements for coach Sean Payton (offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr., offensive line coach Aaron Kromer, and defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo) aren?t happy with the possibility of an outsider like Parcells swooping in and taking the job.? Carmichael, 40, joined the Saints with Payton in 2006, and Carmichael ran the offense while Payton was relegated to the booth as he recovered from a broken leg.? Kromer, 44, arrived in 2008 and also is in charge of the running game.? Spagnuolo, 52, has three years experience as a head coach, and his Rams delivered one of the three regular-season losses endured last year by the Saints.

As the source explained it, the thinking is that Parcells would simply run the press conferences and decide whether to go for it on fourth down, with Carmichael in charge of the offense and Spagnuolo in charge of the defense.? If that?s all Parcells would be doing, why do the Saints need him?

The prevailing theory in league circles continues to be that Payton wants an outsider like Parcells because Parcells wouldn?t want to stay beyond 2012, and Payton already has publicly declared that he?ll be back in 2013.? If an in-house interim head coach enjoys a high level of success in 2012, owner Tom Benson may decide to make a change.? If the Saints win the Super Bowl at the Superdome, Benson may have no other choice but to promote the interim coach into Payton?s job.

The other side of this particular coin, however, is that an outsider may be necessary in order to prevent any friction between the assistant who gets bumped up and the other two who don?t.? Indeed, a cynic may say that the three names were leaked in order to set the stage for an outsider like Parcells to be the only viable solution.

Regardless, the process by all appearances will be moving toward a conclusion soon.? Unless the Saints plan to have no head coach when offseason workouts begin on April 16, Parcells or someone else will be getting the job within the next two weeks.

New Jersey Should Approach Health Insurance Exchanges ...

Commentary ? By Paul Tyahla on March 30, 2012 at 7:56 AM

Poonam Alaigh MD, MSHCPM, FACP
Board of Directors, Former Commissioner of the Department of Health and Senior Services

We, in the state of New Jersey under the leadership of Governor Christie, continue to implement provisions of health reform law as deemed appropriate to improving the health of the people of New Jersey. One such provision is creating a health insurance exchange, which is a marketplace for individuals and small businesses to buy state-approved insurance policies. The goal is for these exchanges to provide individuals and small businesses with a ?one-stop shop? to find and compare affordable, quality private health insurance options. Currently the federal law requires that each state have an exchange, offering the opportunity for states to create their own, providing subsidized insurance options for individuals up to a FPL of 400%. We estimate a minimum of 500,000 New Jerseyans buying insurance through the exchange, with a potential of 150,000 people transitioning from the employer sponsored health plan coverage to the insurance exchange. The administration has been evaluating this, seeking input from community and industry stakeholders, and last month was awarded $7.67 million in Level One exchange grants from HHS. In addition, last week the legislature passed a bill that would create a health insurance exchange in the Garden State in anticipation of full implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act with key components that include an active exchange, a governance structure and a basic health plan or ?optional Medicaid expansion?.

As we decipher our current environment, it is important for us to recognize that there are some factors affecting our position and decision in the state. Firstly, our state already has two ?mini-exchanges?- the Individual Health Coverage Program Board and the Small Employer Health Benefits Program Board. Both are ?in but not of? the Department of Banking and Insurance. We will have to develop rules that will help the integration and interaction of these exchanges with the state-wide exchange. Secondly, creating a new system to administer the federal requirement will be costly and time-consuming, so we will have to identify ways to make the process effective and efficient. Although the federal government will pay for exchange start up, state exchanges will have to fund their own administrative costs starting in 2015. Our state is still working with actuaries to estimate the cost, but Rhode Island received the first Level Two Exchange Establishment grant in November 2011, of $58.5 million to fund the development, design, and technology procurement of the Exchange through December 2014. Another aspect to consider is whether the state should set up a ?passive? exchange, which simply acts as a clearinghouse, or an ?active? one that would allow the exchange to be the purchaser and negotiate its rates. While we assess this, it is important to recognize that the active approach will require significant resource allocation, and the possibility of duplication and redundancy of governmental and regulatory functions. Finally, The United States Supreme Court will later this month, consider a lawsuit challenging the federal law that requires the mandate with a decision widely expected to be issued by the end of June.

The clock on that deadline is not as close to midnight as initially interpreted to avoid a federally operated health insurance exchange in our state. With all these confounding variables in this current environment, the Governor should approach the next steps in creating the state health exchange carefully. Most importantly, waiting to see the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June, before seeking the additional grants that New Jersey will continue to be eligible for until the end of 2014. If the lawsuit to overturn the PPACA is successful, then the governor?s administration would have wasted valuable resources building a program that will not be put into place.

As a physician, previous health insurance executive and the former commissioner of health, I know that our collective goal remains to ensure access to high quality healthcare to all New Jerseyans. The state including the policy makers, legislators and the Governor should carefully assess and evaluate all these factors before intuitively reacting and embarking on an effort that may be futile. While waiting for the Supreme Court decision, we should continue our due diligence on creating the best state operated health insurance exchange for our state, which is void of bureaucracy, administrative duplication and red tape. Having worked personally with many of the stakeholders in this domain, I am confident that we will continue to have these healthy debates, while finally reaching consensus on the best approach for our collective New Jerseyan community.

Kara Combined Exercise Time and Family Time to Lose 107 Pounds

Name: Kara Masucci

Age: 33

Height: 4 feet, 11 inches

Before weight: 222

How I gained it: When I was younger, I ate all the time. Food was always around, and it was yummy. I was active, and I burned it off. But I remember my mom and grandma slapping my hand when I went for the second cupcake and saying things like, ?Don?t eat that, you?re already too big.?

As an adult, I enjoyed going out to eat, and I was apathetic because I was already overweight. I just thought, ?I?m already big, I might as well have the cheese fondue!? As a Nurse Practitioner, you would think I would know better, but book smarts and street smarts are different. So I resolved myself to just be happy, and I thought I was.

Breaking point: When my daughter was one year old, I started to have some health issues. When I look back at my pictures now, I see how much weight I was carrying, but at the time, I thought I looked the same as when I was a freshman in college. I was overweight, but not ?obese.?

Around that time, I had several doctor visits to clear up some GI issues that would just not go away. The third doctor repeated what I?d heard from the others: ?We can help you, but you also have to help yourself. You must lose weight.? I sat in the car crying for thirty minutes afterward, then during my drive home, I made a decision: I would help myself.

How I lost it: I called Jenny Craig from the car after my doctor?s appointment. I was nervous, but they were so lovely and wonderful. I?d tried other weight loss plans before, and I wasn?t a fan of going into a place and raising my hand to talk. I liked that I could do Jenny Direct at home, and it wasn?t a diet. It?s a lifestyle change: Food, body, mind. It helped me to learn a different lifestyle.

I have a young daughter, and I know that young girls can have a lot of food issues, so I never wanted to use the D-word around my daughter. I tell her that we eat ?healthy food? instead.

I made one little change everyday. The first was calling Jenny Craig, then after that, I continued to make small changes, including adding exercise to my life. I?m a working mom with a toddler, so I try to build some of my workout time into family time. I drive home from work, then walk to daycare to get her, and then we walk home together. After she goes to bed, I use my stationary exercise bike, and that?s the time I spend with my husband. We used to sit on the couch and watch TV. Now he relaxes, and I ride the bike, usually six or seven times a week.

And every Thursday night, I talk to my consultant Bridgette. That?s another reason Jenny Direct really worked for me: Life happens, but every week, Bridgette calls me to give me positive energy. She supported me through the entire weight loss process and now she?s helping me adapt to maintenance.

I had two long-term goals when I started: I desperately wanted to have a normal BMI since my starting BMI was 44.8 (which technically meant I was ?morbidly obese?). I also wanted to find a cute matching outfit for my daughter and me to wear. When I finally made it to goal, I had to purchase a child-sized dress for myself because I?m so petite. It makes me giggle because the ?old me? was only able to shop at the ?big girl? stores, and now I?m wearing a child?s dress!

After weight: 114.9 lbs.

Kara has maintained her weight loss for five months.
