Yet Another White House Obamacare Delay: Out-Of-Pocket Caps Waived Until 2015
Avik Roy, Contributor 
WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 18: U.S. President Barack Obama (L) speaks as Assistant Attorney General of Justice Department's civil rights division Thomas Perez (R) listens during a personnel announcement March 18, 2013 at the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC. Perez has succeeded Hilda Solis as the U.S. Secretary of Labor. (Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife)First, there was the delay of Obamacare’s Medicare cuts until after the election. Then there was the delay of the law’s employer mandate. Then there was the announcement, buried in the Federal Register, that the administration would delay enforcement of a number of key eligibility requirements for the law’s health insurance subsidies, relying on the “honor system” instead. Now comes word that another costly provision of the health law—its caps on out-of-pocket insurance costs—will be delayed for one more year.
According to the Congressional Research Service, as of November 2011, the Obama administration had missed as many as one-third of the deadlines, specified by law, under the Affordable Care Act. Here are the details on the latest one.

The SEC's power perception keeps growing
August, 13, 2013
By Edward Aschoff | ESPN.com
Ask LSU defensive tackle Anthony Johnson what he thinks about the SEC and he delivers his answer almost before you can finish your question.
"Powerhouse," Johnson says without a hint of hesitation.
His answer is delivered with the same speed and aggression usually seen on the very playing fields he and his SEC counterparts share every Saturday in the fall. He even stops after one word. It isn't really a pause because he just assumes that no more words are needed.
Ask him to expand, and he hits you with the same bravado that is more matter-of-fact than arrogance.
"It's the best conference and the most physical conference in college football," said Johnson, adding a little more excitement to his answer. "When you look at it, the SEC has won a national championship every year since I've been looking at college football. You think powerhouse when you think about the SEC."
It's simple for Johnson, because he lives it. His perception of the SEC is similar to that of most people. When he thinks of the SEC, all he knows is power.
Since 2006, the SEC has owned all the power, winning seven straight BCS titles by four teams and having four Heisman Trophy winners. During that span, the league has gone 10-4 (.714) in BCS games, with one of those losses coming when Alabama defeated LSU in the 2011 BCS title game. Those 10 wins equal that of the next two highest conferences.
The SEC is 42-22 overall in the postseason since 2006, and 9-1 all time in BCS title games.
"The SEC has proven that if you come out of this thing and win an SEC championship, you have a great chance of winning the whole thing," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said.
Last season, things got so out of hand during Alabama's 42-14 romp against Notre Dame team in the Discover BCS National Championship, that some people inside the conference considered the Crimson Tide's nail-biting 32-28 win against Georgia in the SEC championship the real national title game.
"Everybody obviously watched the SEC championship -- that was the national championship," Georgia running back Keith Marshall said. "[The BCS title game] wasn’t even competition.”
You'll have to excuse SEC inhabitants if they poke their chest out a little more these days, because they've earned it. They've dominated the field of play and racked up the crystal.
To do that, players think a major advantage has been the legwork.
"I think it's the speed, honestly," Alabama center Ryan Kelly said about what makes the SEC so different from opposing conferences. "Obviously I haven't been in any other conference, but the speed down here [separates the SEC from other leagues]."
From skill position players bolting across fields with legit track star speed to mammoth defensive end Jadeveon Clowney sporting a 4.5 40-yard dash time, this league has loads of speed to spread out among its freak athletes.
Speed is the overwhelming response from players when you talk about league comparisons, but for coaches it's a little more detailed. When you combine that speed and athleticism with your big uglies up front, you have a real recipe for success.
"When you're going into the SEC, without question it starts up front on both sides of the football," said Missouri coach Gary Pinkel, whose Tigers missed a bowl game for the first time since 2004 after the offensive line was decimated by injuries in its first season in the SEC.
To Johnson, linemen in this league "play faster," are "working harder" and are "a lot meaner" than those in other leagues.
"When you look at the other conferences, you see a lot more bigger guys who can't really move that well," Johnson said.
So there are fast guys all over and nasty guys up front. And it seems like players are getting faster and nastier, especially with football being a year-round sport for homegrown prospects in the South.
The play on the field has also helped the SEC flex its muscles outside of stadiums, as teams are now getting the benefit of the doubt in the polls and, more important, the BCS standings. SEC champions are basically escorted down the national championship red carpet before all the confetti has fallen inside the Georgia Dome in early December.
And thanks to commissioner Mike Slive, that power could be here to stay. He was instrumental in bringing a very SEC-friendly four-team college football playoff to life, and has helped make the league an absolute cash cow. Just look at the record-breaking $289.4 million that will be distributed among the 14 teams at the end of August, and the arrival of the SEC Network in 2014.
Johnson was right about the SEC being all about power, but what makes it that much more intimidating is how far that power reaches. Its tentacles have continuously strengthened and stretched over the past decade, and that growth doesn't appear to be stopping any time soon.

The SEC college football programs are now truly looking just like what they are. A pro football farm league that employs a highly skilled football player that plays football good enough to go play pro football for money one day.
I was looking at LSU fall college football practice last week and the change is very obvious. These guys are not kids anymore.

LSU and "the Never Ending Dual QB System" (Posted on 8/13/13 at 6:05 am)
After a while they should just label every year this, seeing it seems the news never thinks we have the "right" guy in at all times.
quote:
But, perhaps more significantly, the Tigers seem to be toying with the idea of implementing a package that uses Jennings’ versatility as a complement to Mettenberger’s pocket passing.
Whether Jennings is going to see a few snaps in the season opener against TCU won’t be known until sometime after kickoff on Aug. 31, but it does appear to be a possibility.
Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron wasn’t about to let on about plans for Jennings, and with good reason.
“In an opening game, a true freshman, not that he couldn’t play, but why would you (play him)?” Cameron said. “And strategically, if we were going to do it, I wouldn’t tell you anyway.”
To me thats Cam saying NO, but for some reason the news wants it every year.
What do yall think, keep trying something that never worked for us before, or stick with the guy that has been getting the praise from "his" offense.

ETA: I am not saying someone that can run and throw... I am saying that we do not need two QBs in a game.......

LSU fans have never had it so good. We now have world class coordinators. I'll admit that Les took the long and winding road to get there. But we are here! Sakes alive, let's enjoy it! I see this offense shocking a lot of folks. The defense won't have to pull such a load this year. Me, I'm planning on enjoying the full ride.

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
The LSU football team returned to the practice field yesterday and will do so twice today before holding its first of three preseason scrimmages on Wednesday. Of course, the scrimmages will be closed to the public and media, but I'm hopeful that LSU will release a few stats that I'll be able to share with you.
After Sunday’s Media and Fan Day events, the excitement level about the 2013 LSU football team has skyrocketed, as evident by the large volume of email I received yesterday. Many of you were impressed with the comments made by offensive coordinator Cam Cameron on the play calling, and so was I. It would probably be wise of me to refrain from pumping up Cameron too much until we see how his coaching translates on the playing field, but I really like everything I've seen so far - the up-tempo NFL-like practices, involving the tight ends and running backs in the receiving drills, the fundamental quarterback instruction on things like how to sell a pump fake, and just the general chemistry he has with the players and staff. For quite some time, a large segment of the fan base was calling for Les Miles to go out and hire a big-time offensive coordinator, and that's exactly what he did. Will that be enough to transform the Tiger offense into a offensive powerhouse? Only time will tell, and the time is drawing near. Only 18 days, gang!
Not only is the start of LSU’s football season right around the corner, in just a few weeks many Louisiana high school teams will be holding jamboree games. The high school season will officially kickoff the week after LSU’s season-opener. As those of you who have followed this site for several years know, my late Dad, Don, was a huge fan of Louisiana High School football. His 18 years of officiating gave him tremendous knowledge on the topic and allowed him to establish many relationships with coaches throughout the state. I am certainly not the high school football expert that he was, but I am doing my best to maintain the relationships that he had and to establish new ones as well.
If you are a Louisiana high school coach, I would love to hear from you. I am in the process of compiling my list of top football prospects for the class of 2015 and would appreciate your input. Please click here to contact me and let me know of any Division I prospects on your team.
And to all of you who have asked whether we'll have our second annual statewide high school football pickem contest this year, the answer is yes! I hope to have it setup and ready for action within two weeks. I'll let you know as soon as it's ready to login, check out the schedules, and cast your votes for
Week 1.
On a related note, football recruiting news has been rather slow lately, but I do have a few quick tid-bits to share with you.
• Scout released an early list of five-stars for the class of 2015 and at the top of their list is LSU commit Kevin Toliver (CB, 6'2", 180, Jacksonville, FL).
• Former LSU commitment Chris Hardeman (CB, 5'9", 178, Houston) has committed to Oklahoma State.
• Four-star offensive lineman Ross Pierschbacher has flipped his commitment from Iowa to Alabama. The reason I mention this is it'll be interesting to see if this has any affect on Cam Robinson's decision, as he is widely believed to be torn between LSU and Alabama. Personally, I suspect that stuff like this has very little impact on a player the caliber of Robinson, but you never know.
Before moving on to our daily jersey countdown, I'd like to call your attention to this excellent article by Luke Johnson of Tiger Rag entitled, “LSU, Miles seeking solutions to the concussion problem.” In it he describes research that Coach Miles is spearheading on the usage of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of concussions. Very good read.
With 18 days remaining until the battle in AT&T stadium, today we’ll continue our jersey countdown by taking a look at the player who started LSU's special No. 18 tradition - Matt Mauck. Mauck went to high school in Jasper, Indiana where he played football, basketball and baseball. In his senior year, he was named Indiana’s Mr. Baseball and was a two-time first team all-state selection after posting a 10-0 record with a 1.20 ERA. In football that same year, he passed for 940 yards and 12 TDs and rushed for 567 yards. Out of high school he signed with Nick Saban and Michigan State, but opted for pro baseball instead. After spending three years in the Chicago Cubs organization, he joined the Tigers football team in the fall of 2000 after Nick Saban moved from Michigan State to LSU. Mauck was truly exceptional at LSU, as a leader both on and off the field. On the field, he led LSU to an 18-2 overall record as the starting quarterback. His .900 winning percentage is the best for a quarterback in school history. In 2003, he led the Tigers to 13 wins and the school's first national title in football since 1958. That same year, Mauck was named a Second-Team Academic All-American. Mauck bypassed his senior season to enter the NFL Draft and was selected by the Denver Broncos in 2004. In 2005, he signed with the Tennessee Titans where he served as a member of the practice squad for a couple of years. According to this website, Dr. Matt Mauck is currently practicing dentistry is Colorado.
In closing, I’d like to give props to former Tiger David Toms for finishing 7th in the PGA championship. I’m not a big fan of golf as I really don’t know much about the game, but I'm a big fan of David Toms and love to see former Tigers succeed.

At first glance, Cam Cameron’s office, like a well-diagrammed play, looks like chaos.
Sticky notes - both used and blank - are stuck in several geometrically unrelated locations; words are scattered across a dry erase board in five different colors; a keyboard with no computer sits on the edge of a desk; dozens of playbooks from various years and teams are, in no particular order, staggered on shelves, excluding the ones who lie open on desk, rummaged through as if some urgent secret were inside.
Though he’s only six months into his new job, Cameron has the office of a man long at work. It’s as if he’s crammed the entirety of his 30-year coaching career into this room, perched on the second floor of the LSU Football Operations Center.
And yet in the brief time required to take in the view from Cameron’s window, looking over the Charles McClendon Practice Facility and to the Mississippi River beyond it, Cameron has, at glance’s end, somehow transformed his office into the picture of organization.
The playbooks are closed, stacked, and shelved; the Post-its have been restuck in perfectly parallel columns; the keyboard is still without a computer, but it’s aligned flush with the edge of the desk - all in a matter of seconds.
And now he’s moved on to the dry erase board, whose scattershot text is gone. In its place, per the request of the reporter present, will go Cameron’s favorite play.
He calls it “Ernie” for longtime NFL offensive coordinator and Cameron mentor Ernie Zampese - whom John Madden once called “the top offensive mind” in football - but the play’s technical name is a mouthful: “Twins Right Scat Right 525 F-Post Swing.”
The play is easier to say than to sketch. In matter of moments, the board is marked in medley. Cameron makes use of each shade of Sharpie, and before the fumes can mingle, he’s drawn a seemingly uninterpretable diagram. It’s what a Calculus problem must look like to a sixth grader.
Then, as quickly as he cleaned his desk, Cameron clears the confusion and breaks the play down. Like a Latin teacher conjugating a verb, Cameron goes component by component, player by player, read by read, until the blur of multicolor dotted lines and patterns and penned players, all of a sudden, makes perfect sense.
“That’s why I love football,” he says, gazing at the board. “There’s so much going on. It looks like a mess, but when you break it down, it’s simple. It’s beautiful.”

Obviously Cam Cameron thoroughly knows what he is talking about so I feel much better going into this LSU fighting tiger next college football season. Our LSU tiger football team now has the best football coaching staff that money can buy.
The 2013 LSU football players look like grown men to me. much improved and ready to fight.
Now the LSU fans and coaches and players must face the music together hoping that we become a winning team.
The opponent is doing what we are, the only question left to be answered is in the final outcome of the TCU vs LSU football game that we are about to play.
The investment is in the LSU players, our spirit will be with them at game time on the field in the Cowboy football stadium, Arlington Texas.
