Limited choice of healthcare insurers in some parts of the southwest

June 2017 · Southwest Journal of Pulmonary and Critical Care

Richard Robbins

No abstract available. Article truncated after 150 words. The New York Times is reporting that all of Arizona, much of Nevada, and portions of Utah and Colorado will have only one insurer available under the Affordable Care Act (ACA, Obamacare) marketplace (Figure 1) (1). About 35,000 people buying insurance in Affordable Care Act marketplaces in 45 counties could have no choice in carriers in ... [Show full abstract] Ohio and Missouri (Figure 1), This would be the first time that has happened since the marketplaces were opened in 2014. Some insurance companies are still deciding what they will do in 2018, and others may reverse course, so these numbers could go up or down. Most Americans get health insurance from a job or government program, but about 22 million people buy individual policies under Obamacare. More than half of them use Obamacare marketplaces, where most of them get a federal tax credit to help pay for coverage. The rest buy directly from …

Diet and tree use of Abert's squirrels (Sciurus aberti) in a mixed-conifer forest

January 2005 · The Southwestern Naturalist

Abert's squirrels (Sciurus aberti) are reported to be dependent on ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests for food, cover, and nest sites. Introduced Abert's squirrels in the Pinaleño Mountains of Arizona, however, occupy forests that contain little to no ponderosa pine. We documented diet and tree use of Abert's squirrels in mixed-conifer forests of the Pinaleño Mountains using observations of ... [Show full abstract] marked animals. Individuals ate similar food items as Abert's squirrels in ponderosa pine forests, including seeds, inner bark, buds, and fungi, but 5 conifer species were used as food sources. Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and southwestern white pine (Pinus strobiformis) were the most frequently eaten conifer species. Abert's squirrels also were observed in all tree species. Our results suggest that the dependence of Abert's squirrels on ponderosa pine is not as strong as previously reported.

Regeneration for Urban and Economic Sustainability: Assessment of the U.S. Neighborhood Stabilizatio...

Azza Kamal

In 2010, Chicanos Por La Causa, Inc. [CPLC], a multistate community development corporation leading a national consortium of 15 nonprofit affordable housing developers, received $137 million from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development under Neighborhood Stabilization Program [NSP-2]. As one of the largest federal grants that targets predominately Latino communities in the ... [Show full abstract] USA, NSP-2 funding allows consortia of nonprofit housing agencies to acquire, revitalize, and sell or rent foreclosed, vacant and abandoned properties. With funding from the consortium, the paper assesses NSP-2 impact on households, real estate, and housing related measures in the metro areas of Denver, Colorado and Phoenix, Arizona. The study attested to the positive impact of NSP-2 on urban and economic regeneration in metro areas neighborhoods including: augmenting the real estate values, serving Latino population, creating mixed-income communities; and stimulating local economic opportunities through job creation.

Tertiary basin development and tectonic implications, Whipple Detachment System, Colorado River Exte...

February 1990 · Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres

This paper reports on geologic mapping, stratigraphic and structural observations, and radiometric dating of Miocene deposits of the Whipple detachment system, Colorado River extensional corridor of California and Arizona. From these data, four regions are distinguished in the study area that correspond to four Miocene depositional basins. It is shown that these basins developed in about the same ... [Show full abstract] positions, relative to each other and to volcanic sources, as they occupy at present. They formed in the early Miocene from a segmentation of the upper crust into blocks bounded by high-angle faults that trended both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of extension and which were terminated at middle crustal depths by a low-angle detachment fault.

Aspects of nestling growth in Abert's Towhee

January 1984 · The Wilson Bulletin

Deborah M. Finch

Among factors selecting for rapid growth rates in avian young are those that cause mortality of whole broods (e.g., predation, weather) (Ricklefs, Ecology 50:1031-1039, 1969). Abert's Towhee (Pipilo aberti) endures a high rate of nesting mortality caused by predation and brood parasitism (Finch, Condor 83:389, 1981; Condor 85:355-359, 1983). Predation is the principle factor causing loss of whole ... [Show full abstract] broods. Nesting mortality may have an important role in the development of life history traits (e.g., nestling growth, clutch-size, number of broods/season) in Abert's Towhee, yet little is known about these traits (but see Finch, Wilson Bull. 96:703-707, 1984). In this study, I describe growth rate of nestling Abert's Towhees and discuss its possible adaptive significance. I studied nestlings of Abert's Towhee in honey mesquite (Prosopis glundulosa) habitat of the lower Colorado River Valley 10 km N of Ehrenberg, Yuma Co., Arizona.
