Health partners and insurance split today
ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Thursday will be a critical day for tens of thousand of people in Albuquerque who have doctors at ABQ Health Partners and use Lovelace Health Plan Insurance.? That's because the contract between the two companies will end.
In the meantime, if patients want to stay with their ABQ Health Partners doctor, ABQ Health Partners will pay for their doctors' visits until they get new insurance or until the end of 2012.
If patients decide they want to stay with Lovelace's insurance, that company says it'll help them find a new doctor, but will no longer be covered at ABQ Health Partners anymore.
It was at the end of October when the hundreds of thousands of patients received word that ABQ Health Partners and Lovelace Health Plan would be severing their five year relationship. That gave way to lawsuits and complaints from both sides. It also sent patients trying to move as fast as possible to secure having a doctor to see and insurance to cover costs.
"It was an unforeseen thing you know and it's caused some inconvenience, but I'm sure it's going to work out in our case," says Bill Williamson who will be looking for a new doctor.
Others shared their opinion.
"As we were driving over here today, my husband said I think we better stay with the ones we have," says Barbara Schoepfer, who will be staying with ABQ Health Partners. "We're staying with the doctors we have."
UNM workers who use ABQ Health Partners have already worked out a deal where they can continue to see doctors there, even after Thursday's split. People fighting cancer who have surgery already scheduled can still go to ABQ Health Partners.
Both ABQ Health Partners and Lovelace have websites set up to help people with situation.
ABQ Health Partners:
1 (877) 540-2715, Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
website: keepmyabqhpdoc.com

Lovelace Health Plan:

SEMA 2012: Ohio Technical College Provides Educational Training ...
It?s probably every gearhead?s dream to go to a tech school to learn every mechanical aspect to building the cars that they love. There a quite a few out there, but the one that comes to our mind is the Ohio Technical College (OTC).
Since our school is smaller than others, we can focus more time on each student to help them get a better education. -Tom King
Based out of Cleveland, Ohio, ?OTC offers it?s students several different programs in which to excel in and develop their mechanical knowledge and skills. Students can learn a lot in OTC?s automotive programs including Automotive, Diesel, Auto-Diesel, Collision Repair & Refinishing, Classic Car Restoration, and our favorite, High Performance & Racing.
They also have other programs that include Welding & Fabrication, an OTC Tool Purchase Program, a Powersport Institute, and manufacturer programs, like the Specialty Programs with BMW, MINI, and Volvo. The BMW STEP program offers students the ability to learn BMW vehicles from front to back and receive a factory certificate in the process that will help them get a job at a Bimmer dealership after they graduate.
We stopped at their booth during this year?s SEMA show, and spoke with Tom King about all of their programs and what one could expect when coming to one of OTC?s two locations, which includes their PRI branch that specializes in off-road motorsports.
?
These two motorcycles were in the OTC booth
?Since our school is smaller than others, we can focus more time on each student to help them get a better education,? Tom King related to us. ?We might not have the big budgets like the other schools, but rather, we like to put our students first.???
Sounds good to us. Before we shook Tom?s hand and left, he was sure to point out the motorcyles that was in their booth. ?These motorcycles were built by our students at our PSI branch. They represent what our students can do.?
- Multiple classes to choose from
- Smaller school, with more student focus
- Helps students seek employment in the automotive industry

DUDE FOR FOOD: Chef Tatung's Refreshing New Take on ...
Some say the best of traditional Filipino cuisine can be found in old family recipes, passed and lovingly preserved through generations. It is here where one can taste the richness and regional diversity of traditional flavors, and through time, enhanced by culinary influences and a shared history resulting in a fusion of Spanish and Chinese flavors that remain so comforting. Myke Sarthou, or Tatung as close friends fondly call him, grew up with these old family recipes, and shares them in his new restaurant, Chef Tatung's at the Acacia Estates.
Mike Sarthou began his culinary adventures sharing his favorite family recipes with close friends, and in no time, quickly gained a following. Converting part of his home into Tatung's Garden Cafe, and by word of mouth, eventually became a favorite spot among foodies searching for familiar, traditional flavors with a refreshing and contemporary twist. ?With everything going so well, it couldn't get any better. But it did. An opportunity to open a much larger restaurant in a new location led Chef Tatung to Acacia Estates in Taguig City. And just last Ocotber 26, Chef Tatung's formally opened in its new location.
Driving along C-5, I scanned for directional signs until I reached Acacia Estates, a sprawling new development. As I entered the gated community, I was instructed by the guards to follow the road and turn right after the "sixth hump." I guess it couldn't get any simpler than that. Following the main road felt like driving out of town, it was pleasantly quiet without the usual noise of city traffic. After a short leisurely drive, a resort-like clubhouse appeared. Very Cool.?
A large al fresco dining area beside a garden catches your eye, filled with antiques and old family furniture, and one immediately feels at home.
And this homey feeling is reinforced as you enter the indoor dining area. Spacious and with a traditional old world feel, the wooden furniture and antiques make you feel like you're in someone's ancestral home.?
Each piece seems to have an interesting story. Like the old wrought iron grill converted to a table, and you know there is a creative force at work here.?
After being led to the table, we were then served freshly baked bread. Chef Tatung's also has a bakery specializing in artisan bread, just a prelude for more good things to come.?
For appetizers, we sampled some of Chef Tatung's bestsellers. The Shrimp and Vegetable Okoy, crunchy deep-fried shrimps with vegetable strips in a light batter, a local and traditional shrimp fritter. ?
Crunchy, and with the vinegar dip, a perfect start. Unlike other regional shrimp fritters, Chef Tatung's version ?is large, hearty and quite filling. The crisp shrimp and vegetables just blend together so well, bringing back childhood memories of this traditional snack.?
Next came the Chicken Sisig Lettuce Wraps, minced grilled chicken with onions and green chili topped with taro chips. A sweet mango sauce completes the wrap. A cool take on the popular Sisig, reinvented yet familiar, a totally new dining experience.?
The combination of flavors and textures, the sweet mango sauce and the crisp lettuce makes this dish not only tasty but fun as well. Cool.
Next up, Chef Tatung's Fish Kinilaw, tasty bite-sized chunks of raw tanguige (local mackerel) marinated in coconut vinegar with diced cucumbers, tomatoes and onions. A traditional dish similar to Ceviche, the delicate raw fish is "cooked" with the vinegar marinade, enhanced by the sharp notes from the kalamansi and chili. The sweet freshness of the fish and the crunch of the crisp vegetables makes this light yet flavorful appetizer another winner from Chef Tatung's kitchen.?
And to wash it all down, a cool Fresh Tuba Shake (Coconut Sap), just perfect. Then the main dishes arrived...
Starting off with the Poki Poki Gratin, grilled eggplant layered with tomatoes, eggs, richly flavored Vigan Longganisa and native mozzarella made from carabao milk, another traditional dish given a fresh new twist. Hearty and comforting, with subtle yet rich flavors.
This was then followed by the Seafood Gising-Gising, plump shrimps and mussels with vegetables in a rich and spicy coconut sauce. The rich and creamy coconut sauce, the fresh and crisp vegetables, the plump seafood and the nice heat from the chili provides a burst of flavor in every bite. And there's more...
Pinakbet with Crispy Hito Flakes, a medley of fresh local vegetables sauteed in tomato and bagoong (shrimp paste), and topped with crisp catfish flakes.
Kalderetang Kambing with Queso de Bola, lean and tender goat meat slowly cooked in an olive oil and spicy tomato sauce with mushrooms, carrots, black olives and potatoes, then topped with grated Queso de Bola. The richness of the sauce and the sharpness of the cheese complement the tender meat.?
The Honey Glazed Slow Roasted Lechon Belly, slow roasted in a brick oven for over 6 hours, on a bed of garlic and lemongrass with a sweet honey glaze.
The tender pork belly almost melts in your mouth, and the honey glaze provides the perfect finishing touch. Perfectly roasted, one of the best roast pork dishes I've tried, highly recommended.
Tatung's Fried Rice, based on an old family favorite with shrimps, vegetables, peanuts, eggs and spring onions, perfectly paired with Chef Tatung's main dishes.
Balbacua, ox trotters stewed in ginger and star anise for over 8 hours, with black beans in a rich peanut sauce. Almost like Kare-Kare, just great with the fried rice.?
Kabute, Labong at Tokwa, stir-fried oyster mushrooms, bamboo shoots and tofu in oyster sauce topped with crispy garlic, a refreshingly light vegetable dish.
A perfect dinner, great company, and a cool new place. The fully air-conditioned dining area can seat up to 100 guests, with an additional space for 110 diners at the al fresco patio, perfect for family and friends.?
Chef Tatung describing the final course, signature desserts to cap a perfect dinner...
Warm Tsoknut Chocolate Cake, a moist and decadent chocolate cake topped with a classic childhood favorite, Choc-Nut, giving it a distinct yet familiar flavor. The combination works so well, you can't stop with just one bite...
Pichi-Pichi with Quezo de Bola, cassava dumplings flavored with pandan covered in a rich leche flan like custard sauce and topped with traditional Quezo de Bola. Rich and sweet, a perfect ending to a perfect meal.
Dining at Chef Tatung's is like dining in someone's home, and the extensive menu of family favorites complete one's experience. Special thanks to Chef Tatung and Angelo for an awesome dinner. Chef Tatung's is open daily from 11am to 12 midnight. And on Sundays, Chef Tatung's offers a Lunch Buffet with Cebu Lechon and a spread of of over 25 traditional dishes based on family heirloom recipes.
Chef Tatung's is located at Molave Lane, Acacia Estates, Brgy. Ususan, Taguig City or call 661-7703 for inquiries and reservations. Coming from the north along Libis/C-5, just head south past Market Market! and Heritage Park. Simply follow the directional signs for Acacia Estates and you'll easily find it, or visit the website at www.cheftatung.com for the location map.?Dude for Food is now on Facebook, check out the new FB page to receive regular updates on good eats.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Democrats closed in on keeping their majority in the Senate, swiping Republican-held Senate seats in Indiana and Massachusetts on Tuesday and keeping a once vulnerable seat in Missouri.
Republican candidates' clumsy comments on rape and abortion proved to be the party's undoing in two of the races. The Democratic gains meant the GOP had to run the table in remaining open Senate seats in Virginia, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Nebraska and New Mexico, but they trailed in three.
Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly edged out tea party-backed Indiana state treasurer Richard Mourdock in a race rocked by the Republican candidate's awkward remark that pregnancy resulting from rape is "something God intended."
Mourdock also upset some Indiana voters for his decision to sue to stop the federal auto bailout of Chrysler, which means jobs building transmissions to thousands in Kokomo. And he alienated some in his own party with his divisive win over six-term Sen. Richard Lugar in the May GOP primary. Lugar refused to campaign for him.
In Massachusetts, Democrat Elizabeth Warren knocked out Republican Sen. Scott Brown, who had stunned the political world in January 2010 when he won the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's seat. The strong Democratic tilt in the state and President Barack Obama's easy win over former Gov. Mitt Romney in Massachusetts helped the consumer advocate in her bid.
The race was one of the most expensive in the country ? $68 million ? even though both candidates agreed to bar outside spending.
In Missouri, Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill was considered the most vulnerable incumbent, but Republican Rep. Todd Akin severely damaged his candidacy in August when he said women's bodies have ways of avoiding pregnancy in instances of "legitimate rape." GOP leaders, including Romney, called on him to abandon the race. Akin stayed in.
Democrats currently hold a 53-47 edge in the Senate, including the two independents who caucus with them. Republicans needed a net of four seats to grab the majority, three if Republican Mitt Romney wins the presidency.
The caustic campaign for control of the Senate in a divided Congress was marked by endless negative ads and more than $1 billion in spending by outside groups on races from Virginia to Montana, Florida to New Mexico. The outcome in Ohio and Virginia was closely linked to the presidential race. Republicans and Democrats in Massachusetts, North Dakota and Montana hoped that energetic campaigns and personality would lead to ticket-splitting by voters
In Maine, independent Angus King prevailed over Republican Charlie Summers and Democrat Cynthia Dill in the race to replace Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe, who blamed partisan gridlock in Washington for her unexpected decision to retire after 18 years in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., wasted no time, reaching out to King, according to a Senate aide.
In Ohio, Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown survived an onslaught of outside spending, some $30 million, to defeat state treasurer Josh Mandel. In Pennsylvania, Democratic Sen. Bob Casey survived a late scare from businessman Tom Smith, who invested more than $17 million of his own money in the race.
Democratic Rep. Chris Murphy won the Connecticut Senate seat held by Sen. Joe Lieberman, the independent who was the Democratic Party's vice presidential nominee in 2000. Murphy's win marked the second straight defeat for former wrestling executive Linda McMahon, who spent $50 million of her own wealth in a failed effort against Sen. Richard Blumenthal in 2010 and more than $42 million this election cycle.
Texas sent tea party-backed Ted Cruz to the Senate as the Republican won the seat held by retiring GOP Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. Cruz will become the third Hispanic in the Senate, joining Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
In Florida, Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson triumphed in his bid for a third term, holding off a challenge from Republican Rep. Connie Mack. Republican groups had spent heavily against Nelson early in the race, but the moderate Democrat was a prolific fundraiser with wide appeal among Democrats and some Republicans in the Panhandle.
Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders won a second term in Vermont. Democratic Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse in Rhode Island, Ben Cardin in Maryland and Tom Carper in Delaware were all re-elected. Cruising to another term were Democratic Sens. Debbie Stabenow in Michigan, Kirsten Gillibrand in New York, Amy Klobuchar in Minnesota and Menendez in New Jersey..
In West Virginia, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin won a full term even though his state went heavily for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Tennesseans gave Republican Sen. Bob Corker a second term. Wyoming voters did the same for Sen. John Barrasso, and Republican Roger Wicker captured another term in Mississippi.
King has resolutely refused to say which party he'd side with if elected, and the outcome of the presidential election and the final Senate lineup could influence his decision. Members of both parties have indicated that they expect King ? former governor and one-time Democrat who supports President Barack Obama ? to align with Democrats. One factor could be the million-plus dollars that Republican-leaning groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Karl Rove's organization spent on ads criticizing King.
The arithmetic was daunting for Democrats at the start of the election cycle ? they had to defend 23 seats to the GOP's 10. Further complicating the calculation were Democratic retirements in Virginia, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Hawaii, Nebraska and New Mexico as well as the retirement of Lieberman.
Republicans had to deal with retirements in Arizona, Texas and Maine.
Republican hopes of reclaiming the Senate suffered a major blow when the GOP candidate in Missouri made awkward remarks about rape and abortion.
Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill was considered the most vulnerable incumbent, but Republican Rep. Todd Akin severely damaged his candidacy in August when he said women's bodies have ways of avoiding pregnancy in instances of "legitimate rape." GOP leaders, including Romney, called on him to abandon the race. Akin stayed in and is counting on support from evangelicals to lift his prospects in a state that favors Romney.
Democrats and Republicans in a dozen states faced an onslaught of outside money that financed endless negative commercials and ugly mailings that left voters exasperated. The record independent spending ? $50 million in Virginia and $40 million in Wisconsin in addition to $33 million in Ohio ? reflected the high-stakes fight for the Senate.

House stays under Republican control
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - It may have been the most unpopular House of Representatives in modern times, but that did not stop voters on Tuesday from leaving it firmly in Republican hands, according to projections.
While more than 18 incumbent House members from both parties were defeated, according to results available early on Wednesday, there was no obvious ideological or partisan pattern. Redrawn districts, as a result of the 2010 census, were responsible for some incumbent losses.
The results might disappoint those who had hoped for new and clear marching orders from voters on such issues as the deficit or immigration. Instead, they will get another divided Congress with deep divisions over pressing economic issues.
A contented House Speaker John Boehner told party faithful at an election-night rally that he and fellow Republicans had "offered solutions and the American people want solutions and tonight they responded by renewing our House Republican majority."
While Boehner said he would work with "any willing partner," he warned political opponents that he would continue battling Democratic moves to raise taxes on the rich.
"With this vote, the American people also made clear there's no mandate for raising tax rates," Boehner said.
The results could mean at least two more years of divided U.S. government as Democratic President Obama won re-election over Republican Mitt Romney and Democrats were projected to retain control of the Senate.
With the projected Republican win in the House, the partisan brand of politics the party practiced for the past two years appeared not to have seriously damaged its brand.
When the new House is sworn in next January, it will look much like the House that nearly brought about government shutdowns and a historic default on debt in 2011.
Sarah Binder, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, said Republicans could now be situated to hold their majority in the House for quite some time. She spoke of a "structural advantage" the party holds "because of the way Republican voters are spread out over the country ... with strength in suburban and rural areas."
Binder added that unexpected "wave elections," such as the ones that swept Democrats into power in the House in 2006 and Republicans in 2010, while not the norm, could interrupt a party's long run in the majority.
The bitter partisanship in the 435-member chamber - a thorn in Obama's side - was thought to have contributed to record low public approval ratings of Congress that at one point dipped to 10 percent.
If voters did not like the overall tenor of Congress for the past two years, they seemed to remain satisfied with their individual members.
Election results were still coming in, but it appeared as if Boehner would preside over a House next year that is close to the 240 Republicans and 190 Democrats who now populate the chamber. Currently, there also are five vacancies.
With the outcome of several races still unknown, Republicans were holding at least 226 seats to the Democrats' 173.
But Republicans no longer will represent any northeastern U.S. congressional districts, the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call reported. Republicans did, however, beef up their presence in southern states, the newspaper said.
FISCAL DEALMAKING AHEAD?
"The upshot is that the voters are saying to President Obama and Speaker Boehner: 'Go back to the bargaining table; finish the deal,'" said David Kendall, a senior fellow at Third Way, a centrist think tank in Washington.
Kendall was referring to the intensive negotiations Obama and Boehner held during the summer of 2011, which ultimately fell apart but were aimed at bringing around $4 trillion in deficit reductions over 10 years.
Following that breakdown, many congressional leaders said that only the 2012 elections could settle the Democratic-Republican dispute over taxes and spending that stood in the way of an Obama-Boehner handshake.
On election night two years ago, the so-called Tea Party faction shook Washington's political establishment as conservative Republicans rode that small-government movement to a tidal wave victory.
Suddenly, skyrocketing federal debt, which Republicans said threatened to swamp the struggling economy and hamper job creation, dominated the national conversation.
It was in large part due to the Tea Party that Republicans wrested control of the House from then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats.
Two years later, voters displayed some fatigue with the Tea Party as some of the movement's stars were either defeated in their Senate bids or faced difficult re-election bids in the House.
Two of the highest-profile Tea Party activists in the House - Michelle Bachmann and Allen West - were struggling to keep their seats.
Freshman Representative Joe Walsh, a Tea Party favorite, lost his race against Democrat Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq war veteran who lost both her legs in combat. The Illinois district is near Chicago, Obama's hometown.
Even so, Republicans were not expected to abandon the central tenets of Tea Party ideology, especially with other Tea Party activists, such as Steve King in Iowa, winning re-election.
"There will still be enough Republicans enamored by the Tea Party idea against raising taxes," said Youngstown State University political science professor Paul Sracic. "We're looking at a huge struggle in the lame-duck and next year," he said of the post-election session of Congress and the expected fights over tax policy in 2013.
STARS COME AND GO
Besides battling over taxes and spending, the Republican House and Democratic Senate likely will have an opportunity to clash over other large initiatives.
A senior Democratic aide said the Senate was likely to send the House an Obama jobs package that Republicans previously denounced. The aide said the Senate could also produce an immigration reform bill - if it could garner the "super-majority" necessary for all major bills - that would also present Republicans with problems.
When the new House convenes in January, it will do so without a couple of its most colorful politicians: Former presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, the Democrat who early in his career gained fame as the "boy mayor" of Cleveland, was defeated in a primary race earlier this year. Ron Paul, the libertarian Republican who is sometimes referred to as the father of the Tea Party movement, has retired.
But there will still be plenty of interesting characters in the new House, including Democratic Representative Charles Rangel. The 82-year-old congressman from New York City survived ethics charges in 2010 and won a 22nd two-year term on Tuesday.
House Democrats will await former Pelosi's decision on whether she will stay on as Democratic leader now that she has again failed to engineer her party's takeover of the House.
The new House could have one other bit of star power: Republican Paul Ryan, who was Romney's vice presidential running mate and who has made the federal budget the focus of his 14 years in the House, was easily reelected by voters in his southern Wisconsin district.
