Kanye West is still Team Beyonce! After the 2015 Grammys, he went on a HUGE rant at an after party, saying that Beck needs to ‘have some respect’ — and that he should have handed over his Album of the Year award to Beyonce!
Kanye West, 37, may have stopped himself from interrupting Beck‘s acceptance speech at the Grammys on Feb. 8, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t want to. He made it very clear at the E! after party that he thinks Beyonce, 33, should have won — even if it meant Beck, 44, giving her the award himself!
Kanye West Disses Beck After Grammys: He Should Have Give His Award To Beyonce
We all thought Kanye was joking when he started to interrupt Beck’s acceptance speech at the 2015 Grammy Awards — much like infamously he did six years ago when Taylor Swift, 25, beat out Beyonce for Best Female Video at the 2009 VMAs. After all, Kanye even posed for a photo with Taylor tonight to prove that there were no hard feelings.
But sadly it looks like history is repeating itself because Kanye went off about Beck’s big win at the E! after party on Feb. 8. Here’s his full rant:
— IG: @_alyssa.xo (@bigcheech_) February 9, 2015
Kanye says in the video, “If they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain’t going to play with them no more. “Flawless,” Beyonce’s video and Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyonce. And, at this point, we tired of it. Because what happens is that when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in the face …”
Wow — we’re speechless. We can’t believe Kanye still hasn’t learned his lesson after all these years. Even his wife, Kim Kardashian, was smiling awkwardly by his side throughout the bizarre rant.
Kanye West Beck Grammys: Rapper Interrupts Singer’s Album Of The Year Win
As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Kanye dropped jaws — including Jay Z and Beyonce’s — when he rushed to the stage to steal Beck’s moment in the spotlight at the Grammys.
Beck’s album Morning Phase shockingly beat out Beyonce’s Beyonce for Album Of The Year at this year’s Grammy Awards, and apparently this did not sit well with Kanye. He appeared to be joking, however, when he ran up the steps, headed for the mic, but then smiled, shook his head and turned around.
Beck seemed to take it in stride, and even asked Kanye to come back on stage and help him deliver his speech.
If only he had known that Kanye was being completely serious!
So HollywoodLifers, do YOU think Kanye’s latest rant is out of line? Let us know!

New York State Deferred Compensation Plan, Albany, rehired Callan Associates as its investment consultant.
The three-member governing board of the $17.8 billion plan voted unanimously Friday at its quarterly meeting in New York to rehire Callan. The contract, which will take effect April 1, is for five years. The board can extend the contract with a pair of one-year renewals.
The deferred compensation plan issued an RFP in May because Callan’s current contract will expire next spring. Representatives of the board’s staff and the board members interviewed four candidates, according to a memo provided at the board meeting by David Fischer, the plan’s executive director. Mr. Fischer declined to identify the other candidates.

2013 Golden Globes Dresses: See Adele, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez + More
She looked beautiful in basic black as she picked up the Golden Globe for Best Original Song, beating Taylor Swift, who was also equally as gorgeous in a plum-colored dress. Jennifer Lopez also knocked 'em dead in lace, while Lea Michele rocked a white gown.
Adele wore a custom, draped black Burberry frock with an embellished neckline that flattered her plus-sized figure. Her hair was teased at the crown and pulled back in a delicate knot fastened at the nape of her neck. She looked stunning and flawless in her floor-sweeping gown, dressing appropriately.
Swift, who was nominated for Best Original Song for her 'Hunger Games' track 'Safe & Sound,' wore an eggplant/plum Donna Karan gown with an open back. It had a mermaid hem, and she wore her hair pulled back in a low bun tucked into itself, so it looked like she chopped off her hair. Some fans complained that it was too matronly, but was it really that bad? She needed an updo to show off her dress' bodice, neckline and back, so she had no choice but to go up, up, up. It was very Old Hollywood of the singer, 23.
Jennifer Lopez wore a lace Zuhair Murad dress that showed off those knock 'em dead curves. It featured sparkled appliques over a nude fabric, with long sleeves, covering up most of her golden skin. Those big, Old Hollywood waves, worn on the shoulder, were pretty. The dress gave off the illusion that she was sorta naked, but not really.
Lea Michele wore a crystal-encrusted, bone-colored, halter-neck Elie Saab, paired with her sun-kissed skin and ombre, wavy hair. The up-to-their slit was incredibly sexy, but then again, we expect that type of controlled flesh flash from this fashionista.
Check out Adele's and T. Swizzle's updos. Adele's is a bit more fancy and styled, but both ladies wore their manes up to show off those beautiful faces.

The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) has launched a program to support Member States in modernizing administrative data for statistical purposes.
The program follows the road map for transformation and modernizing official statistics in Africa, which was approved by the ECA’s Conference of Ministers of Finance and Economic Planning last week.
Two workshops are currently underway to kickstart the process in Cameroon and Uganda. The workshops are co-organized by ECA’s African Centre for Statistics (ACS) and national statistical offices in collaboration with the offices of the UN Resident Coordinators.
In a statement delivered on behalf of the UN system in Cameroon on 28 March, Adama Coulibaly, Chief of the Sub Regional Initiatives Section at ECA’s Office for Central Africa, emphasized the need for national statistical systems to “transform and modernize to be more agile and resilient to crises” such as COVID-19.
“COVID-19 has shown that our statistical systems need to move away from current traditional ways of operating to be able to effectively support countries’ sustainable development and transformation agendas,” said Mr Coulibaly in his remarks at the opening of the three-day workshop in Yaounde.
Administrative data sources provide several advantages. They offer high-frequency disaggregated data, which is critical in the SDGs context of leaving no one behind; reduce production costs as data is collected routinely for administrative activities; and decrease respondent burden.
In line with the ECA initiative, Joseph Tedou, Director General of the National Institute of Statistics (NIS) in Cameroon, said the NIS is currently implementing two projects using administrative statistics, namely the Statistical Business Register (SBR) and the turnover index.
The SBR intends to pool registers from different administrations to create a reference directory of legal units registered with the administration, providing an overall view of economic activity and employment.
Meanwhile, the turnover index will use monthly declarations of companies subject to the normal real tax system for the payment of value-added tax (VAT) to calculate the index, aligning with the Special Data Dissemination Standard.
“The decision of the National Institute of Statistics of Cameroon to embark on this path is timely and will improve the availability and use of data,” said Mr Coulibaly.
Mr Tedou expressed gratitude to the ECA “for supporting these important projects” and for making the workshop possible, noting that the initiative aligns with the implementation of the National Development Strategy 2020-2030 and Cameroon’s goal of modernizing its statistical apparatus.
“The NIS hopes to continue its efforts towards modernizing the country’s statistical apparatus and complying with international standards,” said Mr Tedou
ECA officials handed over copies of the road map to the Director of INS Cameroon and the Deputy Executive Director of the Uganda Bureau of Statistics respectively, following a briefing on ECA’s support for their program on the modernization of administrative data.

The election season and recent vaccine developments have spurred some remarkable shifts in market sentiment. For some sectors it has been out with old and in with the new.
Whether due to expectations of a supportive Biden administration or normalized economic conditions, financial, industrial, and “traditional economy” stocks have suddenly taken the market leadership reins from the technology sector.
This has coincided with an abrupt investor rotation from growth to value stocks. Whether this reversal it sustainable remains to be seen, but in the meantime, some unlikely winners have emerged to lead the value charge over the last couple weeks.
The best part? Many are still very inexpensive.
Can The Gap Thrive in the Post-Pandemic Economy?
Shares of The Gap (NYSE:GPS) are already up 33% since the start of November. The catalyst has been the recent wave of encouraging COVID-19 vaccine news.
The one-two punch from Pfizer and Moderna about the effectiveness of their respective vaccines has provided a lift to traditional mall retailers. Except that The Gap is less of a mall retailer these days after announcing the closure of many of its mall-based stores.
Still, the company will have some exposure to shopping malls as well as off-mall locations that are perceived to eventually benefit from improved customer attendance. This helped The Gap’s stock price gap up on November 9th to its highest level since May 2019.
Investors are betting that continued progress on the vaccine front will lead to an environment where consumers regain comfort shopping at malls and outlets. Nearly all Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic stores have reopened albeit to modest foot traffic.

Everybody likes to make a comparison about artistes and Ralph's old man is no exception. He heard Wullae Wright's 'Halo Effect' playing on my laptop and next thing he was wiping the dust of his collection of vinyl, dug out Led Zeppelin I and stuck it under my nose muttering....."Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". Chance would be a fine thing some would say, however I had a listen and low and behold Wullae Wright is capturing the same raw intensity of vocals that an early Robert Plant did. Not only that his almost psychadelic guitar on the track also has the same haunting tones found on early Zep tracks. An old rock soul in a young body.
I had a wee word with the enigmatic but extremely well mannered Wullae regarding how he was getting his music more widely heard and he had this to say....."Over the last year or so I've had songs played on Radio KC Harrow Community Radio, Radioactive Scotland, The Wall Rock Radio, Unsigned Music Show, and on Jim Gellatly's Amazing Radio Show, where he described my song 'Red Bridge' as having "...shades of acoustic Radiohead".
I asked Wullae if his work had been finding favour in the media....."I've had my music and profile featured in Niji Magazine, on Freaky Pug PR/Records online newspaper and had my music reviewed by Intamission Music. My song 'UFO' has been selected to be part of two compilation albums including '1st Renaissance' by Red Dragon Records and 'Revolution' by BritRockArmy both released in 2013.
So things have been going pretty much to plan....."2012 was a very surprising year for me. I began it year not knowing what direction to go in, or what sound I wanted to create. I even considered whether to stop writing and recording music altogether. The support of other people has definitely been a massive contributing factor in me creating 'The Orange Line' and continuing to pursue my music. Friends, musicians and those dedicated to getting independent music out there - the promoters, radio DJs, PR agents, etc, have all helped.

The 2018 Porsche Macan S is a compact SUV with a lot to offer. It has everything from a high-end audio system to 21-inch wheels, and it also comes with an air suspension system. Other features include a panoramic sunroof and rear climate controls. It also has Porsche Connect Plus, which includes Apple CarPlay, 4G LTE, real-time traffic, and navigation. It also has a Performance package; you can order it in any color you desire.
EPA Fuel Economy Ratings
The 2018 Porsche Macan S returns an impressive EPA fuel economy rating of twenty miles per gallon in the city and twenty miles per gallon on the highway. The base model returns 19 mpg in the city, twenty miles per gallon on the highway, and 21 mpg in combined driving. The Macan’s figures decrease as you upgrade to the GTS and S trim levels. The Macan S averaged 26 mpg on a 75-mph highway fuel-economy loop in our test.
The Porsche Macan has excellent quality materials and a well-built interior. The SUV is large, with 18 cubic feet of cargo space. However, small-item storage is challenging since it is not a compact crossover. The center storage bin is not wide, so it can be challenging to fit even small items in the Macan’s cargo area.
The base model of the Porsche Macan gets an EPA fuel economy rating of twenty-five mpg city and twenty-five mpg highway, which is above average for a luxury car. The GTS model has a twin-turbo V6 engine and a sporty appearance package that includes 20-inch wheels, red brake calipers, and brushed aluminum accents. The Macan’s interior also sports Alcantara for a smoother ride and an added dose of luxury. The Turbo version adds an adaptive suspension, a twin-turbo engine, and an 18-way power front seat. It also has a heated steering wheel and an Alcantara headliner.
The Macan is incredibly versatile and available in various trim levels. The base model offers an automatic seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive. The base model is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 255 horsepower, while the S and GTS models offer a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 with 362 horsepower and 400 horsepower, respectively.

Artists who have participated in exhibitions at Griffin Gallery are featured below.
Jonathan Gabb explores the transformative possibilities of paint. The layers of paint are plasticized and cast, preserving their liquid qualities, while allowing new applications, new possibilities to be imagined.
The hanging works are investigations of the sculptural possibilities of paint as a medium. The threads or ribbons of paint evoke a fluid painterly quality, interacting with the enclosing volume, and promoting interaction with the viewer. They are extreme workings of the plasticity of the acrylic medium. The sculptures are on the edge of the paints purpose; the invented practise is non-idealistic and as such the material’s function re-interprets itself. The very act of making positive cast of paint, manipulating when dry and then cutting into threads repeatedly reverses the typically perceived ‘easy quality’ of lyrical abstract painting through an industrious method, yet at the end of it they retain and reiterate a painterly quality.
Exhibited at Griffin Gallery in Saatchi Art’s Showdown: In Glorious Colour in April 2014.

Samer Sleiman, the beleaguered Vice-President (Operations and Finance) candidate booted from the Students’ Union election after allegedly tampering with votes, will appeal his disqualification to the Discipline, Interpretation and Enforcement (DIE) Board on Monday at noon.
In his appeal application, Sleiman alleged that Chief Returning Officer (CRO) Jessica Nguyen erred in handling the complaint under the bylaw that governs SU elections.
Nguyen disqualified Sleiman from the race Friday after a student complained about Sleiman casting a vote on her behalf.
When she went online to vote, the student discovered her CCID had been blocked after Sleiman allegedly showed her how to properly cast a vote from a mobile phone.
Further investigation by the CRO revealed 32 votes were cast using an IP address belonging to a Rogers phone. Later on March 5, 42 votes were found to be identical to the vote cast on behalf of the student complainant.
The elections bylaw stipulates that a candidate will be disqualified when found tampering with ballots, voting procedures or counting procedures.
Sleiman said the complaint was “uncorroborated” and had not been proven to be “fair, accurate and truthful.”
The DIE Board is considered the court of the Students’ Union and interprets and enforces its bylaws.
Results for the VP (OpsFi) race are pending until the board issues a ruling for the appeal.
The board struck down a CRO ruling Friday against Vice-President (Academic)-elect Shakiba Azimi, reversing $220 in fines that would have exceeded her allotted $550 campaign budget and disqualified her from the race.
More details to come Monday.

Deep-sea reporter Qi Xu and Wei Wei
As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as neighbors. However, the relationship between South Korea and Japan, the entangled "neighborhood", has become more and more furious recently.
Last year’s "comfort women" compensation and fire control radar exposure incidents have not been resolved. The leaders of the two countries basically "ignored each other" at the G20 Osaka Summit at the end of last month... And because Japan suddenly announced exports to South Korea After strengthening the control of semiconductor raw materials and starting to remove South Korea from the "white list" of imported Japanese high-tech products, the two countries have almost "tipped their faces".
Compared with the restraint of the governments of the two countries, the people’s suppression of dissatisfaction for a long time seems to have suddenly found a breakthrough. Especially the people in South Korea, the anti-Japanese sentiment was suddenly stimulated: not only the "boycott of Japanese goods" movement was vigorous. The local online goes online and offline, and the Koreans also "blood letters" asking the government"Frontal Hard Bar" Japan.
However, for the Blue House, whose economic situation is a bit bad in the tide of anti-globalization, how to solve the problem of economic development being restricted by others is extremely urgent, especially when this "person" is Japan with new and old hatred.
( ) Do not buy or sell Japanese goods
In the deepest hearts of many Koreans, Japan is a country that "shame to face". Last year a lot of problems remained unresolved. President Moon Jae-in gave Japan a face and attended the G20 summit in Osaka. However, Japan still ignored the feelings of neighboring countries and insisted on shooting a "family portrait" in front of the controversial Osaka Castle. Although Moon Jae-in, who looked "serious" in the end, reluctantly agreed to take the photo, in the eyes of Koreans, this is another "new account."
Unexpectedly, before the Koreans launched a condemnation, Japan actually "preemptive strike" after the summit and implemented "precise strikes" against the South Korean semiconductor field. This new hatred and old hatred are superimposed on the nationalism of the Korean people. The emotions were suddenly ignited.
Recently, the bold "NO" poster consisting of a capital black N and a red solid circle symbolizing Japan has become popular throughout the Internet, requiring Japanese brands to be "blackened"The voice keeps on.
Some supermarkets in Seoul, South Korea took the initiative to remove beer, cigarettes and other products from Japan. Best seller? No exceptions! The shelves were also marked with a striking slogan of "Do not sell or buy Japanese products" in Korean and English.
Not only do not buy Not for sale", South Korean protesters will also step on Japanese brands. onLast weekend, protesters gathered in front of the Japanese Embassy in South Korea. They laid out paper boxes on the ground with trademarks of well-known Japanese brands such as Uniqlo, Mitsubishi and Honda. The protesters stomped them down. To vent their anger. "As a Korean citizen, boycotting Japanese goods is our mission." Kim Sung-min, chairman of the Korea Marketing Association, said in an interview.
Social media is an important channel for Korean netizens to vent their dissatisfaction. Recently, Internet users on major forums in South Korea have posted more and more messages about boycotting Japanese goods. "Boycott of Japanese goods" has become a hot word for Naver, the largest search engine in South Korea.
The official website of the South Korean government’s Blue House also has a platform dedicated to the public for petitions. This place has also been “occupied” by netizens’ petitions against Japan to show their support for the government. At present, in the column of “Diplomacy/Unification/National Defense”, the “I ask the government to retaliate against Japan’sThe number of petitions for economic sanctions reached 33,570, which is the top 1 petition under this column.
The petition supporting the third largest number also involves Japan-South Korea relations. The initiator of this petition said, “Drive on the road Japanese cars hurt my feelings.” I hope that stickers can be affixed to all vehicles to let more people know and participate in the boycott day.The movement of goods.
() Japan tour? not going!
In addition, there are also South Korean people calling on South Koreans not to travel to Japan.
Regardless of the convenience of transportation and the habit of eating, Japan has always been one of the popular tourist destinations of Koreans. In the past 8 years, the number of Korean tourists to Japan increased from 1.66 million in 2011 to 7.54 million in 2018. Walking on the streets of Tokyo and Osaka in Japan, tourists who speak Korean can be met everywhere.
Next year, Japan will host the Summer Olympics, and the 2025 World Expo will also be held in Osaka, Japan. During this year's G20 summit, the Japanese government tried its best to advertise for the Osaka World Expo.
The more you care, the more I resist. "Boycott the Summer Olympics to be held in Japan next yearThe “Meeting” petition was also supported by many people on the official website of the Blue House in South Korea.
In fact, since the continued deterioration of relations between the two countries last year, the number of Korean tourists to Japan has decreased for the first time in eight years. This year In the first five months, South Korean tourists have dropped by nearly 5%. Forecast data show that the number of Korean tourists going to Japan will further decrease this year. This also "drags" tourism related to Japan, including South Korea’s largest travel agency, Hana Travel Agency. Stock price.
() The old hatred and the new hatred.
Although they are both allies of the United States and co-hosted the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, it is too early The national travel visa exemption is realized, but once the historical issue is touched, raging anger can be ignited between the two neighboring countries at any time, and the essence of "surface brothers" is fully exposed.
For Japan, Koreans’ feelings are a bit subtle: it’s beautyThe beautiful country of cherry blossoms is a good place for tourism, a spokesperson of civilized order, and a developed country worth learning; but it is also an "aggressor" that has brought deep suffering to North and South Korea.
In history, Japan’s ravages on the Korean Peninsula have left South Koreans unable to let go. The G20 family portrait selection in front of the Osaka Castle built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who once led the army to invade the Korean peninsula, immediately aroused the sensitive nerves of the South Koreans and caused an uproar in public opinion, which can explain the problem.
The "comfort women" who were forcibly conscripted by the Japanese army during the Second World War have suffered eternal pain between the two nations. Former President Park Geun-hye reached a "friendship agreement" with Abe to shelve the issue of "comfort women" during his tenure, which was once regarded as a major reason for her to step down. After Moon Jae-in came to power, he believed that this so-called "friendship agreement" did not specify Japan. The government’s legal responsibility, and the official apology and compensation to the victims, are therefore not recognized. But inIn Japan's view, such "repentance" is unacceptable. And the beginning of the deterioration of relations between the two countries since last year is precisely because of this.
In addition, the same scarce resources and the urgent need to fight for overseas markets...All these make Koreans even more love-hateful when facing Japan's neighbor. When describing Japan, the Korean media often describe the Japanese government and Japanese companies as competitors in the export market, stubborn colonialists, and cunning targets of business warfare. When the overseas sales of electronic products such as Samsung and LG surpassed those of Panasonic and Sony, they were once hailed as "industry victory" by the Korean media; and when the "Korean wave culture" became popular among Japanese young people, it would be regarded by the Korean media as Another kind of "victory" by South Korea over Japan. If Japanese anime rises in popularity among Korean young people, it will make older Koreans feel uneasy...
Looking deeper, similar geography Position allows these two countries to be the "leader" of the United StatesWhen it comes to seeking strategic importance, there is also a competitive situation, especially after Trump took office, South Korea’s importance in its geopolitical balance has increased significantly, and Moon Jae-in’s shuttle diplomacy in North Korea-US relations has also shown After the irreplaceable key role, this kind of geo-strategic "competition" sentiment permeated the media between Japan and South Korea.
And this time, Japan’s "precise strike" in the semiconductor field has even more pained the complex nationalist sentiments of the Koreans. Although the removal of Japanese goods from supermarkets has brought some changes to daily life, most of the Korean people shopping in supermarkets still support: "Through history, they are the ones who made the mistake. Why should they retaliate against us?"
South Korea People also learned from the pain and began to think about how South Korea, which has continued its 54-year trade deficit with Japan, can reverse the situation and compete with Japan. Learning to "self-reliance" is obviously one of the ways out. Yonhap News Agency pointed out in a report on the 7th that optical instruments, precision Among imported parts and materials such as instruments, semiconductors, integrated circuit production equipment, electronic device chips and controllers, Japanese products account for an overwhelming share, while South Korea’s surplus with Japan is mainly mineral raw materials, natural pearls,Fish, etc. can find alternative species in other countries. To this end, South Korea’s ruling party, the Common Democratic Party, the Blue House, and government departments recently stated after discussions that the government will invest about US$850 million each year to promote the localization of semiconductor materials, parts and equipment, and the diversification of raw material import channels. This news encouraged South Korean chip material manufacturers, and their stock prices rose.
However, "If it is a problem that can be solved with money, it will not be delayed until now." Cheng Taiyin, a professor of economics at Yonsei University in South Korea, still poured cold water on the government, after all, training talents and mastering Technology is a long-term issue. But it is always good to act. South Korea’s shift has begun to cause public opinion in Japan to worry about whether Japan’s dominant position in the semiconductor field will be shaken as a result, requiring the government to be cautious.
"Now is the time to show the strength of the Koreans." A South Korean netizen said on the petition initiated by the Blue House official websiteWrite.
However, senior U.S. government officials, including Pompeo, have begun to express concern about the deterioration of relations between Japan and South Korea. Some analysts believe that once the "leader" comes forward to mediate, Japan and South Korea, whose political alliance foundation has not been fundamentally shaken, will not be too difficult or too slow to regain surface harmony.

Emerging evidence suggests the relationship between health literacy and health outcomes could be explained by cognitive abilities.
To investigate to what degree cognitive skills explain associations between health literacy, performance on common health tasks, and functional health status.
Two face-to-face, structured interviews spaced a week apart with three health literacy assessments and a comprehensive cognitive battery measuring ‘fluid’ abilities necessary to learn and apply new information, and ‘crystallized’ abilities such as background knowledge.
An academic general internal medicine practice and three federally qualified health centers in Chicago, Illinois.
Eight hundred and eighty-two English-speaking adults ages 55 to 74.
Health literacy was measured using the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM), Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (TOFHLA), and Newest Vital Sign (NVS). Performance on common health tasks were globally assessed and categorized as 1) comprehending print information, 2) recalling spoken information, 3) recalling multimedia information, 4) dosing and organizing medication, and 5) healthcare problem-solving.
Health literacy measures were strongly correlated with fluid and crystallized cognitive abilities (range: r=0.57 to 0.77, all p<0.001). Lower health literacy and weaker fluid and crystallized abilities were associated with poorer performance on healthcare tasks. In multivariable analyses, the association between health literacy and task performance was substantially reduced once fluid and crystallized cognitive abilities were entered into models (without cognitive abilities: β=−28.9, 95 % Confidence Interval (CI) -31.4 to −26.4, p; with cognitive abilities: β=−8.5, 95 % CI −10.9 to −6.0).
Cross-sectional analyses, English-speaking, older adults only.
The most common measures used in health literacy studies are detecting individual differences in cognitive abilities, which may predict one’s capacity to engage in self-care and achieve desirable health outcomes. Future interventions should respond to all of the cognitive demands patients face in managing health, beyond reading and numeracy.
The relationship between adult literacy skills, health knowledge, behaviors, and clinical outcomes has been repeatedly investigated.1–3 More than 500 research publications have demonstrated associations between crude measures of reading and numeracy skills with various health-related outcomes, including risk of hospitalization and mortality.4–6 This has been the foundation for the field now known as ‘health literacy’ research.
Despite more expansive and accepted definitions, the problem of low health literacy has often been characterized as difficulties in reading and math skills. Early studies therefore responded by re-writing health materials at a simpler level or following other design principles to enhance reading comprehension; an approach found to have limited success.7,8 Still lacking a deeper understanding of the problem, recent investigations have tested comprehensive strategies with more promising results.9–11 However, as these were multi-faceted interventions targeting system complexity, it is difficult to isolate the true reason for improvement.
The role of patient requires more than the ability to read and manipulate numbers when managing health and navigating the healthcare system.12 A global set of cognitive skills are necessary to access health services, process and comprehend text and numerical information, orally express oneself, understand and recall spoken instructions, make inferences, utilize technology, critically weigh options and make decisions, and sustain often complex behaviors. Several studies over the past two decades allude to this, as they have reported strong associations between a broader set of cognitive abilities and the aforementioned health outcomes associated with literacy skills.13–17 In general, poorer cognitive performance has been linked to less health knowledge, poorer medication adherence, worse physical and mental health, and greater mortality risk.18–22
A significant relationship is already known to exist between literacy and cognitive skills.23 In fact, there is a small but growing body of literature documenting associations between measures of literacy, health literacy, and limited sets of cognitive abilities.15,24–27 These studies support the premise that the impact of health literacy on outcomes might be explained by a wide array of cognitive domains. It is imperative to explore these links, as this will expand our thinking on the true nature of the problem, and improve our ability to develop more effective strategies for identifying and responding to individuals who will struggle to learn and apply health information.28
Our research team launched a National Institute of Aging study (“Health Literacy and Cognitive Function among Older Adults”; R01 AG030611) herein referred to as ‘LitCog’. We recruited a cohort of older patients in order to investigate the association between health literacy and specific domains of cognitive function. Another objective was to examine to what degree cognitive abilities explained associations with health literacy and performance on health tasks common for self-care. We targeted widely-used assessments of literacy in healthcare: the Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM),29 Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (TOFHLA), 30 and the Newest Vital Sign (NVS).31 The examination of these assessments, coupled with a detailed battery of cognitive tests, afforded the unique opportunity to determine crucial, understudied relationships between literacy skills and general cognitive functioning.
English-speaking adults ages 55 to 74 who received care at an academic general internal medicine ambulatory care clinic or one of four federally qualified health centers in Chicago were recruited starting August 2008 through October 2010. A total of 3176 patients were identified through electronic health records as initially eligible by age, notified of the study by mail, and contacted via phone. A total of 1904 eligible patients were invited to participate. Initial screening deemed 244 subjects as ineligible due to severe cognitive or hearing impairment, limited English proficiency, or not being connected to a clinic physician (defined as<2 visits in two years). In addition, 794 refused, 14 were deceased, and 20 were eligible but had scheduling conflicts. The final sample included 832 participants, for a determined cooperation rate of 51 percent following American Association for Public Opinion Research guidelines.32
Subjects completed two structured interviews, 7–10 days apart, each lasting 2.5 hours. A trained research assistant guided patients through a series of assessments that, on Day 1, included basic demographic information, socioeconomic status, comorbidity, the three health literacy measures, and an assessment of performance on everyday health tasks. On Day 2, patients were administered a cognitive battery to measure processing speed, working memory, inductive reasoning, long-term memory, prospective memory, and verbal ability (see Table 1).33–42 Multiple tests were used for each cognitive domain, allowing a latent trait to be extracted. Northwestern University’s Institutional Review Board approved the study.
Health literacy was assessed by the TOFHLA, REALM, and NVS.29–31 The TOFHLA uses actual materials patients might encounter in healthcare to test reading fluency.29 A reading comprehension section includes 50 items that use the Cloze procedure; every fifth to seventh word in a passage is omitted and four multiple choice options are provided. The numeracy section includes 17 items to assess comprehension of labeled prescription vials, an appointment slip, a chart describing eligibility for financial aid, and an example of results from a medical test. Scores are classified as inadequate (0–59), marginal (60–74), or adequate (75–100).
The REALM is a word-recognition test comprised of 66 health-related words arranged in order of increasing difficulty.30 Patients are asked to read aloud as many words as they can. Scores are based on the total number of words pronounced correctly, with dictionary pronunciation being the scoring standard and interpreted as low (0–44), marginal (45–60), or adequate (61–66). The TOFHLA and REALM are the most common measures of literacy used in healthcare research.43 Finally, The NVS is a screening tool used to determine risk for limited health literacy.31 Patients are given a copy of a nutrition label and asked six questions about how they would interpret and act on the information. Scores are classified as high likelihood (0–1) or possibility (2–3) of limited literacy, and adequate literacy (4–6).
A set of 16 cognitive tests were used to assess six cognitive domains and to derive latent traits for them (Table 1). Cognitive abilities were broadly classified as fluid (processing speed, working memory, inductive reasoning, long-term memory, prospective memory) or crystallized (verbal ability). Fluid abilities refer to cognitive traits associated with active information processing in which prior knowledge is of relatively little help, whereas crystallized abilities embody stored information in long-term memory, or general background knowledge. With the exception of verbal ability, we included tests that were independent of reading skills.
The Comprehensive Health Activities Scale (CHAS) was developed for the LitCog study and its psychometric properties described elsewhere.44 Ten different health scenarios that involve print, video, and spoken health communications as well as common ‘artifacts’ (pill bottles and labels) requiring navigation are presented to patients, followed by a series of questions asking them to demonstrate comprehension and/or use the material and artifacts. This methodology was adapted from prior studies by the research team, cognitive psychology approaches, and national literacy and health literacy assessments.45–47 In brief, an initial pool of 150 items was developed across the scenarios and 80 items kept in the final assessment; all loaded on one common latent variable resulting in 94 % reliable variance (Ω total).48,49 Scores were standardized (0–100), and item subscales created, including: 1) comprehending print information (9 items), 2) recalling spoken information (11 items), 3) recalling multimedia information (20 items), 4) organizing and dosing medication (18 items), and 5) healthcare problem-solving (19 items). Higher scores translate to greater performance on specified health tasks. Internal consistency was high for all categories (Cronbach’s α=0.73, 0.63, 0.78, 0.76, 0.76, respectively).
Descriptive statistics were calculated for each variable. ANOVA was used to compare mean performance on health tasks and functional health status by health literacy categories. Pearson product–moment (TOFHLA, REALM) and Spearman (NVS) correlations were used to examine associations between health literacy measures and cognitive tests.
Domain-specific and general cognitive ability (crystallized, fluid) scores were created to reduce cognitive skills to one measure per category and to avoid multicollinearity in subsequent regression models. Univariate imputation sampling methods were used to estimate any missing values (n=98) on cognitive measures by regressing each variable on age and variables from the same cognitive category in a bootstrapped sample of non-missing observations. The category-specific and domain summary scores were then calculated by estimating a single factor score with maximum likelihood estimation.
Multivariable linear regression models were conducted to examine the independent associations between health literacy, fluid or crystallized cognitive abilities with overall performance on health tasks. Age, gender, race, and number of comorbid chronic conditions were included in all models as covariates. A final model included all three variables, and the extent to which the effect of health literacy was attenuated by cognitive abilities was then evaluated. The Vuong test, a likelihood-ratio based approach for non-nested models, was used to determine whether the variance explained by models (R2) significantly changed when health literacy, fluid or crystallized abilities were included or omitted.50 Analyses were performed using STATA 11.2 (College Station, TX).
The sample is described in Table 2. Participants were socially and economically diverse by years of schooling, household income, employment, marital status, and living situation. Individuals on average had two chronic conditions (M=1.9, SD=1.4), and were taking a mean of 3.6 prescription medications (SD=3.1). According to the TOFHLA, estimates of marginal and inadequate health literacy were 16.8 % and 12.5 %, respectively. This compared with 15.4 % and 8.9 % as determined by the REALM, and 22.9 % and 28.9 % according to the NVS. Across all measures, lower health literacy was associated with older age, African-American race, less education, and lower household income.
Correlations among the three health literacy measures were 0.76 (TOFHLA- REALM), 0.62 (TOFHLA-NVS), and 0.47 (NVS-REALM; all p<0.001). Health literacy measures were strongly correlated with all cognitive abilities (Table 3). Fluid abilities were more strongly correlated with the TOFHLA and NVS than with the REALM (0.76 and 0.73 vs. 0.57, respectively), and crystallized abilities correlated similarly with all health literacy measures (TOFHLA - 0.77, REALM - 0.74, NVS - 0.71). Fluid and crystallized abilities were also strongly correlated with one another (r=0.78).
In bivariate analyses, inadequate health literacy was significantly correlated with worse performance on healthcare tasks, with a gradient decline across decreasing levels of literacy skills (TOFHLA – r=0.81, REALM – r=0.68, NVS – r=.74; all p<0.001, Table 4). Associations between fluid and crystallized cognitive abilities with overall task performance were equally strong (r=0.84 for both sets of abilities; p<0.001).
In multivariable models, inadequate health literacy as measured by the TOFHLA, REALM, and NVS were significant independent predictors of worse overall task performance (Table 5). Similarly, both fluid and crystallized cognitive abilities were significantly associated with the outcome. When both were entered into models that included health literacy, the relationship between health literacy and task performance was attenuated by 70.6 % for the TOFHLA (without cognitive abilities: β=−28.9, 95 % Confidence Interval (CI) -31.4 to −26.4; with cognitive abilities: β=−8.5, 95 % CI −10.9 to −6.0). This reduction was similar for the REALM (77.7 % attenuation; without cognitive abilities: β=−27.8, 95 % CI −30.8 to −24.7; with cognitive abilities: β=−6.2, 95 % CI −9.0 to −3.4) and NVS (73.4 % attenuation; without cognitive abilities: β=−22.8, 95 % CI −24.9 to −20.7; with cognitive abilities: β=−6.0, 95 % CI −7.9 to −4.1).
Independent associations between fluid and crystallized abilities and task performance were reduced by approximately half when they were both included together in the models, and health literacy by any measure provided little to no further attenuation of these relationships when added to models. The variance explained by multivariable models was significantly greater with fluid and/or crystallized cognitive abilities compared to health literacy as measured by the TOFHLA (R2=0.73 and 0.74 vs. R2=0.66, both p<0.001; combined R2=0.80, p<0.001). However, the explanatory power of the model including health literacy, fluid and crystallized abilities (R2=0.82) was greatest compared to models including only health literacy (p<0.001) or both fluid and crystallized abilities (p=0.003). This was also true for the REALM and NVS, with models explaining 60 % and 62 % of the variance, respectively. Including fluid and/or crystallized abilities significantly increased the variance explained by models (all p<0.001, Table 5). When health literacy (measured by REALM or NVS), fluid and crystallized abilities were all included in models (REALM: R2=0.81; NVS: R2=0.81), the variance explained was greater than models only including health literacy (both p<0.001) or fluid and crystallized abilities (p=0.01).
Health literacy has been the subject of multiple reports, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Institute of Medicine, and World Health Organization promote and exhort improving health literacy as a public health goal.1,51,52 Proposals have even been made recently to recognize low health literacy as a risk factor warranting clinical screening.53–55 Despite this, controversy remains as to the definition of health literacy - whether it is an individual risk factor or asset, a reflection on healthcare providers’ skills and health systems’ accessibility, or all of these.56 Clearly, the term has sparked unprecedented interest around simplifying healthcare and helping individuals manage their health.
The intent of the LitCog study was to revisit the measures previously used, almost exclusively, in health literacy research and better understand the latent psychological traits being evaluated. Our findings strongly suggest that the problem of limited health literacy mostly reflects individual differences across a broad set of cognitive skills that include but are not limited to reading and numeracy. Associations between health literacy and performance on common health tasks were substantially explained by 1) fluid abilities necessary to actively learn and apply new information, and 2) crystallized abilities such as background knowledge.
The TOFHLA and NVS were more strongly correlated with one another and aligned with fluid abilities. REALM associations with the various health tasks were explained more by crystallized abilities. In multivariable models, assessments of fluid and crystallized abilities together with a health literacy test best explained performance on everyday health tasks. There is likely not a limited set of skills that can be isolated as most important in managing one’s health. The roles individuals assume in healthcare require reading and numeracy, but also health-related knowledge, speed and efficiency of thought, critical thinking, multi-tasking, and memory among other abilities. It is therefore not surprising cognitive traits explained such a large degree of the relationship between health literacy and task performance, or that health literacy measures also provided an independent contribution.
Our findings are limited in that our sample was English-speaking only and predominantly female. We also included more assessments of fluid abilities than crystallized tests. Since fluid and crystallized abilities were comparable in explaining health literacy associations, our findings might under-estimate the importance of background knowledge. In addition, performance on everyday health tasks was measured using hypothetical scenarios. Participants might have applied greater effort to tasks if they had been more salient to their current personal health. However, when comparing scores between those with and without experience with the task or condition in each scenario, differences were not found. LitCog participants are now being followed as a cohort, allowing for opportunities to prospectively study relationships between health literacy, cognitive abilities, and outcomes including risk of hospitalization and mortality.
A general critique of our findings might be that the assessment of task performance is similar to health literacy measures. However, we required individuals to demonstrate functional skills across a wide array of health scenarios beyond solely reviewing print materials - the basis of existing health literacy tests. This criticism can also be directed at many seminal health literacy studies that have examined associations with the ability to perform common self-management tasks.4,57–59 In fact, assessments of health literacy closely resemble cognitive tests, supporting the primary assertion of the LitCog study. The most notable similarity can be seen between the REALM and the American-National Adult Reading Test (AM-NART); both require individuals to correctly pronounce lists of words (r=0.73). The strength of correlations among health literacy, cognitive tests, and performance on health tasks should be understandable and expected.
These crude literacy assessments have proven to be useful research tools, and it is possible they may eventually demonstrate equivalent clinical utility. All are highly predictive of an individual’s ability to perform routine healthcare tasks; the choice to use one versus another should depend more on test attributes (i.e. availability in Spanish, time to administer) and less so out of concerns for misclassification. In this case, the NVS might be a logical choice as it is as brief as the REALM, but available in Spanish where the REALM is not.
Brief measures that assess global cognitive function, such as the mini-mental status exam (MMSE), might also serve as proxies for health literacy. Strong associations between health literacy measures, such as the TOFHLA, and the MMSE have previously been established.25,26,60 The advantages to this approach are that many of these cognitive screeners are already administered in clinical settings. In addition, their face validity makes it less likely a researcher or clinician would fall victim to superficial interpretations of the problem and its solution. Yet these tools would likely need revised scoring thresholds, as individuals could be free of a clinically defined cognitive impairment yet still have limited health literacy.
The proposition that the most common measures of health literacy are actually crude assessments of general cognitive abilities should not distract attention from broader efforts to redesign health materials, improve clinician communication skills, enhance the navigability of health systems, or engage communities to assume public health roles.27 Our findings affirm the need to help patients build appropriate background knowledge and skills, but to also reduce the cognitive demands of health systems through unnecessarily complex health tasks. As a start, health literacy interventions should move beyond plain language approaches and deconstruct the tasks required of patients within a particular healthcare context. Depending on the task, steps could be taken that follow cognitive and human factors principles to improve performance. This might include giving individuals more time to accurately process information, limiting and layering new information to reduce cognitive burden, use of increasingly available technologies or ‘external aids’ (i.e. pill box organizers) to enhance recall and prompt health behaviors, or eliminate tasks all together if the health system could assume responsibility instead.
Future evaluations of interventions should always collect sufficient data to determine if a strategy mitigates the impact of ‘low health literacy’ on outcomes.61 A modified perspective of health literacy that includes an expansive view of cognitive skills necessary to manage health could also inform the development of more precise clinical assessments to identify those at risk.12 Despite calls for clinicians to follow universal precautions and assume all patients may have health literacy concerns, remediating inadequate cognitive skills for self-care might require clinical screening. This would then allow a greater allocation of resources, in terms of education and follow-up, to those struggling to learn and apply health information and instructions.

Republican presidential nominee John McCain defended his flagging campaign on a live edition of NBCs Meet the Press on Sunday morning from Waterloo, Iowa. It was the Arizona Senators first appearance on the show in nine months.
When host Tom Brokaw pressed McCain on recent polling that showed him trailing Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) by 11 points in Iowa – a state President Bush won in 2004 – McCain did not address the numbers, saying he fundamentally disagreed with the polls.
Those polls have consistently shown me much further behind than we actually are, McCain said. It all depends on the voter turnout.
McCain also answered questions about his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, when he was presented with additional polling that showed 59 percent of independent women having an unfavorable opinion of her – up from 27 percent after the Republican National Convention.
I dont defend her, he said. I praise her. I dont defend her. She needs no defense.
McCain and other Republicans on the Sunday talk shows attempted to sound the alarm bells about the prospects of an all-Democratic government, with Obama leading in the polls and Democrats expected to make major gains in the House and Senate.
In a joint appearance with Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.) on ABCs This Week, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said an all-Democratic government would hurt the country and frequently cited record-low approval ratings for Congress.
If you wonder where the country is going under full Democratic control, just look at the budgets they have passed, he said.
But Emanuel predicted voters would reject McCain and Congressional Republican candidates because of their links to President Bush.
You offer four more years of George Bushs policies, and there is no quarter in any of the country thats going to go for that now, Emanuel told Graham.

Video Poker player
The Video Poker combines all the elements of an interactive game in which you can make money, while sitting back in his chair. In addition, the transition from this world of Internet entertainment has not been difficult. Therefore, a bit like roulette or blackjack, there are a variety of players who enjoy this game, and each has its own methods to win. Together we will discover the profiles of players who love this cult entertainment casinos.
The small player
If the Video Poker currently has a major impact, it is mainly because it is a cheap game. Just a few coins to start a game, and the stakes are generally very low, even when played through a virtual casino. In addition, the Video Poker game is the star of the young players who do not have a big budget and they love this game just to pass the time or to earn small amounts of money. The Video Poker is really accessible to all players, whatever their style or budget, and young players respresentan 70% of those who bet on Video Poker machines.
The emotional player
The Video Poker operates on a mixture of traditional poker hands thrown at random, as the support used is that of a slot machine. It is a game that can quickly raise the adrenaline and the adrenaline is just what you are looking for emotional player. In search of strong emotions, emotional is a passionate player who loves to take risks. We like being scared and you can bet up to 200 euros per game. It’s a great dared not think rationally, and just play for fun extravagant provided by the Video Poker.
The regular player
There are also regular players, which only play Video Poker but perfectly know their operation and tricks. They are patient and methodical players who play and bet to get significant amounts of money – sometimes hundreds of thousands of euros. In casinos, there are even professional players: the latter choose the Video Poker because they know they can take advantage of the dealer by simply using poker strategies.
The lucky player
Fewer and fewer, but the lucky player is among the emotional player and the small player. The lucky player, as the name implies, enjoys a great stroke of luck in the middle of a game. Five small chips are enough to win the pot, and automatically knows that will make history because it does not necessarily have the weapons to win in normal conditions.

The rate of recovery in the housing market is likely to be slow, one organisation has predicted.
Gross mortgage lending over the course of the next 12 months will stand between £150 billion and £160 billion, the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI) has forecasted.
Furthermore, it believes that 620,000 housing transactions will be completed throughout the course of the year.
"The rush of completions towards the end of last year, due to the stamp duty holiday, distorted figures for transactions," said the AMI's director Robert Sinclair.
"With the average UK home comfortably below the £175,000 stamp duty threshold, buyers would have pushed hard to avoid an additional levy of £1,750 on completions after December."
In light of this, there is likely to be a fall in the number of completions during the first quarter of this year, he indicated, which means intervention is needed to ensure the market stays buoyant.
Mr Sinclair advised: "Rather than tinkering with stamp duty levels, what we need to see is a root and branch reform of this inequitable 'slab' tax on property."
Throughout the course of 2009, remortgaging activity was restrained, the AMI found, although this situation may change if interest rates are increased.
The body predicts that if this were to occur, more people would switch to fixed-rate deals, which in turn may cause lenders to move away from new lending.
As a result of this, the government needs to do more to encourage lenders to start providing funding again, the organisation added.
Average UK House prices will grow by over six per cent during 2010 and will be around 20 per cent higher than current levels by the end of 2013, research from the Centre for Economic and Business Research show.
