Survey Spratlys before it's too late, Philippines urged

China's artificial islands in the South China Sea can 'make it impossible' to settle the Philippines' historic case against the Asian giant, a US-based analyst says

MANILA, Philippines The Philippines should work with Vietnam in accurately surveying the Spratly Islands in the disputed South China Sea before China completes its artificial islands in the area, an analyst said.

In an interview published by Deutsche Welle on Friday, September 19, Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) analyst Gregory Poling explained that these artificial islands can make it more difficult, if not impossible to settle the Philippines' case against China.

In the meantime, the one thing this should get Manila and Hanoi to do is make a concerted effort to short-circuit China's attempts to hide the real status of features by accurately surveying them now before further reclamation works make it impossible to determine their original geography, Poling said.

The Philippines claims parts of the South China Sea as the West Philippine Sea. Vietnam also says it owns parts of the disputed waters. (READ: Vietnam to Philippines: United, we will win)

Poling, a Sumitro Chair for Southeast Asia Studies fellow at the Washington-based CSIS, made his suggestion as China continued its reclamation activities in the South China Sea.

Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin said he fears China is building a military base in the West Philippine Sea through its reclamation activities.

'Changing facts on the ground'

In fact, on September 9, the Philippine Navy said it has seen structures resembling lighthouses on two reefs in the West Philippine Sea.

US disagrees with world on who pays for health care

Posted on by

"It also reflects a societal decisionthe societal decision to provide health care for everyone," Altman said of the other countries.

He said Americans' response to the question specifically about health care is reflective of their overall views about government.

"We've always had, as a country, a love-hate relationship with government," Altman said. "We want the services it delivers, but we want a smaller government. There's a tension in this country between the sense of communal obligation and a fierce sense of personal responsibility."

"And where do you see that tension expressed more strongly than in health care?" asked Altman.

Altman said he believes that the passage and the adoption in recent years of the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, has accentuated the split between Americans who favor a larger role for government overall and those who oppose that idea. He also said public opinion on the ACA is often not based on actual details of the law, which often poll well individually, but reflect how people view President Obama and government generally.

"The debate about Obamacare isn't a debate about Obamacare," he said. "The health law has become a proxy for a larger debate about, yes, the president, but also about the role of government."

The Penn Schoen Berland poll, which did not ask about Obamacare by name, found a distinct split between Democrats and Republicans on the question of who should provide health insurance. Just 17 percent of self-identified Republicans in the survey said they believed government should provide such coverage. But 57 percent of Democrats gave that answer.

Conversely, only 17 percent of Democrats said individuals should be responsible for their health insurance. But 42 percent of Republicans gave that answer.

Forum to address health-care challenges

Posted on by

Published: Monday, September 22, 2014 at 07:00 AM.

A forum this week will explore reforms sweeping the core of American health-care finance and oversight regulation.

Onslow Memorial Hospitals example reflects a national trend amid dwindling medical reimbursements such as TRICARE, Medicaid and Medicare health-care leaders have told The Daily News.

The independent nonprofits strains and strategies are among topics slated for Forum Onslow Health Care at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in council chambers at Jacksonville City Hall at 815 New Bridge St.

The free, public forum is organized by the Jacksonville-Onslow Chamber of Commerce Governmental Affairs Committee.

Four speakers each will give 15-to-20-minute presentations: Onslow Memorial Hospital Chief Executive Officer Ed Piper; Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune Commanding Officer Capt. Rick Freedman; Brynn Marr Hospital Chief Executive Officer Jay Kortemeyer; and N.C. Hospital Association Vice President Cody Hand, said Janet Bowen, the chambers director of operations.

Jacksonville attorneys Jason Harris and Christopher Welch will moderate, and the audience will have about 20 minutes to ask questions of the panel.

Were going to address the issues facing community hospitals, Bowen said.

Bowen said the forum will last about one-and-a-half hours.

It has been several years since the chamber held a health-care forum, but the members decided trends in that industry merited another, she said.

The claims were made by futurist and system theorist John Smart He believes we will have digital twins within the next five years These twins could act like digital personal secretaries or agents They could also, one day, have human faces and hold conversations In addition, when people die, loved ones could converse with digital versions of ourselves long after our death Apps already exist that offer similar tools including Siri and Google Now The claims signal a step towards the futurist theory of singularity

By 2020, our day-to-day lives, relationships and even what to have for dinner could be controlled and run by digital versions of ourselves.

According to futurist John Smart, within the next six years many of us could have so-called digital twins that schedule our appointments and even have conversations with others on our behalf.

And they could one day console loved ones after we die by mimicking our voice, emotions, mannerisms and thoughts.
