ULP Workshop Brief: The Individual Insurance Market: Performance and Potential
Tom Stoiber provided a peek inside the first of two "black boxes" explored during this session, explaining how underwriting works and discussing some common misperceptions about its role in individual insurance. He began by reviewing the underwriting process, beginning with field underwriting by the agent, followed by a medical assessment and examination of the attending physician statement, and ending with an underwriting decision to accept, "rider" (accept with coverage restrictions), rate-up (accept at a substandard rate), or reject the applicant.

The Blue Moon: May / June 2005
We were also assigned to write a "critics notebook." While many of my fellow Columbia fellows tackled very specific issues related to their areas of coverage, I found myself thinking more generally about how newspapers cover the arts - especially newspapers the size of mine and smaller, with limited space and resources. ... All three were intended to improve coverage and criticism of the arts by better educating arts writers and editors outside the major media markets who might not (and most likely don't) have any training in the areas they write about. At Columbia, for instance, we would cover the rudiments and history of classical music and opera from the 18th century to the present. ... [Read More]

AFDC - Alternative Fuel News
Keeping with Alternative Fuel News conference coverage tradition, we've captured some of the conference highlights in the following "top ten" list (in no particular order). ... The conference officially started, appropriately, with the "Call to the Post" from the official Kentucky Derby and Churchill Downs Bugler, dressed in the traditional black hat and long red coat. The keynotes, panel presentations, and table talk sessions that followed provided conference attendees with a look back at the successes of the first 5 years of the Clean Cities Program, and a preview of the opportunities ahead, as Clean Cities coalitions "race to new markets" in the new millennium. Just a couple of blocks away from the Seelbach Hilton was the Louisville Gardens Arena, which housed the Clean Cities conference exhibits.
