    Eating Disorders a New Front in Insurance Fight
    By ANDREW POLLACK
    Published: October 13, 2011

         People with eating disorders like anorexia have opened up a new battleground in the insurance wars, testing the boundaries of laws mandating equivalent coverage for mental illnesses. 
         Through claims and court cases, those with severe cases of anorexia or bulimia are fighting insurers to pay for stays in residential treatment centers, arguing that the centers offer around-the-clock monitoring so that patients do not forgo eating or purge their meals.
         But in the last few years, some insurance companies have re-emphasized that they do not cover residential treatment for eating disorders or other mental or emotional conditions. The insurers consider residential treatments not only costly — sometimes reaching more than $1,000 a day — but unproven and more akin to education than to medicine. Even some doctors who treat eating disorders concede there are few studies proving that residential care is effective, although they believe it has value.

       Firme vontade de viver, de navegar na transparência da verdade, na criação do instante presente. Sentir a força dos segundos transformados em horas, meses, em eternidade histórica do ser. Viver, sentir o presente como verdade, como instante único e imponderável é recuperar na irrecuperabilidade do rio que passa, a força das águas, a memória que jamais deixa de ser ela mesma – é o recomeço dos tempos a cada minuto corporificado, vivido intensamente com sua energia, sem voltar-se lacrimosamente ao passado; sem projetar-se também para o futuro, esquecendo o agora. Sintonizar-se no presente, recuperar sua força, não deixá-lo esvair-se, escorrer em vãs suposições é marca original do homem que se faz e se reconhece historicamente nos passos da humanidade, no correr do rio, no vôo das aves; ouvir sua voz no ciciar dos ramos, na sinfonia do amanhecer primeiro: virginal manhã de sua criação e do recomeço do universo.
        [...]
       Traço letras, as histórias se embaralham nas páginas soltas, as personagens cruzam-se nos enredos diversos misturando seus papéis. Penélope e Páris. Helena e Ulisses. José, esposo de Maria, impulsivamente não quer representar o marido exemplar. Olhos, braços e devaneios deslocam-no para outros amores. A troca é nítida, as personagens esfumaçam-se na trama existencial. A vida não é tida como absolutamente irremediável. A leveza nos atos das trocas não altera o valor do câmbio. Na roda viva nem sempre o balé é sutil, há também marchas militares e nupciais. Há o desencontro harmonioso na dança da capoeira, os corpos não se tocam. Os parceiros se avaliam, espreitam-se e batem em retirada. O duelo corporal e verbal é abandonado. Dos corpos sensíveis e expressivos ficam ecos e imagens fugidias nas lembranças que se esvaem ao menor aceno do presente. O passado não possui consistência, não houve emoção no ato vivido, só a gratuidade do descompromisso, do non-sense tacitamente aceito por todos...

                                                   Mathematical theories

    Some traffic engineers have attempted to apply the rules of fluid dynamics to traffic flow, likening it to the flow of a fluid in a pipe. Congestion simulations and real-time observations have shown that in heavy but free flowing traffic, jams can arise spontaneously, triggered by minor events (“butterfly effects"), such as an abrupt steering maneuver by a single motorist. Traffic scientists liken such a situation to the sudden freezing of supercooled fluid. However, unlike a fluid, traffic flow is often affected by signals or other events at junctions that periodically affect the smooth flow of traffic. Alternative mathematical theories exist, such as Boris Kerner's three phase traffic theory.

    Because of the poor correlation of theoretical models to actual observed traffic flows, transportation planners and highway engineers attempt to forecast traffic flow using empirical models. Their working traffic models typically use a combination of macro-, micro- and mesoscopic features, and may add matrix entropy effects, by “platooning" groups of vehicles and by randomising the flow patterns within individual segments of the network.

    CHINA'S NEW SEX SYMBOLS

    BY ISAAC STONE FISH

           ASIA IN THE CATEGORY of the world's sexiest politicians, China's dour communist apparatchiks1 would seem to be far behind America's legendary ladies' men presidents and Europe's bunga-bunga leaders. But a survey released in December by the All-China Women's Federation found that a Middle Kingdom mandarin is the top pick for an ideal partner among Chinese women.

          What's the appeal? (It can't be the ill-fitting suits.) It's money, money, money. While government officials receive a modest salary – well under $1,000 a month- they can usually leverage their position for personal gain, often through shady means. A corrupt vice district head in Beijing was recently arrested for accumulating more than $ 6,5 million; in other cases the perks have reached into the hundreds of millions. And even for officials who aren't skimming off the top, a government job (and the attendant legal perks) provides a level of security that's quite desirable for China's marriage-minded ladies, especially compared with a less stable position at a state-owned or private company.

          There's also the growing reputation of Chinese government officials as a particularly virile lot. China's state-owned press often titillates readers with tales of bureaucratic sex scandals: in one major story last year, a provincial tobacco-bureau chief's diary was leaked online, with page after page of prurient details about his trysts2 with young beauties (including fellow government employees). The public's reaction was generally sympathetic to the cad. One prominent blogger maintained the bureau chief was a good official because he managed to spend some time with his wife despite the womanizing, took less than $10,000 in bribes, and didn't visit prostitutes. In other words, a real catch. In a survey on the blogger's site, almost all the more than 100,000 respondents thought the official should keep his job. That's sex appeal – and popular appeal.
