*"Pakistan court sentences one man to death penalty, and life imprisonment to five
others for Mashal Khan lynching incident. On Wednesday, an anti-terrorism court
in the Pakistani city of Haripur sentenced one man to death, and five others to life
imprisonment, for killing 23-year-old Mashal Khan in a mob violence incident last
year. 57 out of 61 verdicts were announced, which took place behind closed doors
for security reasons, and about 250 police officials and commandos were
deployed." Saturday, February 10, 2018. Imran Sultan Mohammad, who had
confessed about shooting Mashal Khan, was sentenced to death by judge Fazal-e-
Subhan. Khan was a journalism student in Mardan's Abdul Wali Khan University,
who was accused of blasphemy, an offense punishable by death in Pakistan, and
was killed in mob violence on April 13. Later in June, police investigation revealed
it was a false accusation as they found no evidence of blasphemy. Khan was
stripped, beaten by dozens of people in the boys hostel, thrown from the second
floor and shot dead — which was videographed and posted on social media.

*"President Trump signed these Medicare changes into law. Here’s what to watch
for. Making Sen$e.
# Medicare’s Independent Payment Advisory Board has been killed.
# The rules for Medicare’s Part D drug plans were changed.
# Consumers who have spent a lot on drugs and have entered the so-called
catastrophic phase of Part D plans will pay no more than a few dollars for each
prescription or, for costly drugs, no more than 5 percent of the cost of the drug.
# Medicare’s caps on covered expenses for outpatient therapy have been officially
repealed.
# Medicare’s high-income premium surcharges will carry even more of a bite for
wealthier enrollees.
# Congress also made numerous and potentially far-reaching changes to the rules
for Medicare Advantage plans. That includes allowing such plans to pay for limited
long-term care expenses – something that until now has not been covered by
Medicare."
