CHICAGO (Reuters) - Glenda Jimmo has had a challenging life. Blind since the age of 19, the 76-year-old Bristol, Vermont, resident is confined to a wheelchair due to disabling conditions that include a below-the-knee amputation stemming from her diabetes.
"But it's been an interesting, full life," she says. "I have four children."
Now, she's lent her name to a class action lawsuit. Its settlement, announced this week, is expected to transform the way that Medicare covers long-term care.
Jimmo requires regular skilled nursing services in her home for wound care and management of her condition. Medicare has not been paying for those services, because the program's policy was to cover skilled nursing care only when patients had a demonstrated medical potential to improve. That left patients like Jimmo, who need care to maintain their current health status, to fend for themselves.
Under the settlement of the lawsuit, Jimmo v. Sebelius, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has agreed to relax Medicare's requirements for coverage of skilled nursing and therapy services in institutional or home care settings.
The key criterion for coverage will be a demonstrated need for skilled care - regardless of whether there is a recovery prognosis. That means patients already enrolled in Medicare Part A (hospitalization) who need care to maintain their current condition but aren't likely to improve will qualify for Medicare's standard benefits.
Medicare already pays for a stay of up to 100 days in a nursing or rehabilitation home following a related hospital admission, with a $139 daily co-pay after 20 days of care. (Most Medigap supplemental policies will cover those co-pays.) It also covers skilled home healthcare - like physical therapy or nursing services - if a physician has certified that it is necessary.
Medicare Part A covers up to 100 home visits following a hospital stay. For patients who need care in their homes, Medicare Part B covers care without a prior hospitalization with no limits on visits and no co-payments for services, and a 20 percent co-payment for durable medical equipment.
The settlement's impact on patients will be wide, though its focus on skilled nursing care and home-based care means that it won't be broad enough to allow an elderly, demented assisted-living resident to have her or his bill paid by Medicare. Those people typically rely on unskilled help with their activities of daily living, such as bathing and dressing.
Some 46 percent of Medicare beneficiaries have three or more chronic conditions, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. About 8 percent use home health services - a figure that certainly will rise as a result of the settlement.
The financial impact on Medicare isn't clear. Medicare's direct costs for providing the additional coverage will rise, but the higher costs could be offset if the new preventive services reduce the need for acute care, hospitalization or nursing home care.
"With access to some basic therapies, many of these patients may well be able to avoid nursing and hospital care," said Judith Stein, director of the Center for Medicare Advocacy (CMA) and a lawyer who represented plaintiffs in the class action. "The settlement is a victory for people who need care, and it will save money for states and the federal government who otherwise would be paying for services that shouldn't be necessary."
Jimmo's care, for example, has been covered by Vermont's Medicaid program, but some patients have had to dip into their own pockets to cover some of these services.
Court approval of the final settlement isn't expected for several months. After that, Medicare will have a year to implement the changes and educate healthcare providers about them.
But under the terms of the settlement, more than 10,000 Medicare beneficiaries who were denied benefits for skilled services before January 18, 2011 (when the lawsuit was filed) will have their claims re-examined.
CMA urges patients who think they qualify for coverage under the settlement's terms to start pushing for it right away by submitting their claims to Medicare. "This is the policy that the government says is now in effect, so patients should push that immediately," says Gil Deford, CMA's lead counsel on the case.
If you think your care should be covered under the terms of the settlement, here are some key steps to take while you wait for the new rules:
Educate healthcare providers. Patients shouldn't assume that skilled nursing facilities or home healthcare providers will immediately understand the settlement's impact. "Ask them how they plan to implement it, and makFe the question specific to your own needs," said Joe Baker, president of the Medicare Rights Center, a non-profit organization that provides free Medicare counseling services.
Be persistent. "It will take a while for this to be operationalized," says Baker, who recommends that patients appeal any denials of claims.
Get help. Free one-on-one help with Medicare claims is available from the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), a network of non-profit Medicare counseling services. Use this link to find the SHIP program in your state: here
The Medicare Rights Center also offers free counseling by phone; (1-800-333-4114).
For Jimmo and other Medicare beneficiaries affected by the settlement, the direct impact will be better care, according to Michael Benvenuto, project director of the Medicare Advocacy Project at Vermont Legal Aid, who served as co-counsel in the lawsuit.
"When healthcare providers don't think Medicare will pay their bills, they're less likely to provide the full care that patients need," he says. "For Glenda, this settlement will insure that she gets adequate maintenance care in her home for as long as she can stay there."

Peter Frampton at Danbury's Ives Concert Park (w/video)
Classic rock icon Peter Frampton's latest album was inspired by an unlikely source -- ballet.
The album, which is called "Hummingbird in a Box" and came out in June, grew out of a performance Frampton did last year with the Cincinnati Ballet. On Saturday, July 5, Frampton will perform ballet-inspired songs from the new album as well as a selection of his classic hits at Ives Concert Park in Danbury.
Frampton was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville, Tenn., and his album "Frampton Comes Alive!" is one of the top-selling live records of all time. He's known for such hits as "Do You Feel Like We Do," "Baby, I Love Your Way" and for his prominent use of the talk box, an effects unit that creates a futuristic sound by combining a musician's voice and guitar.
In a recent interview, Frampton talked about his new album, the talk box and the inspiration for some of his biggest hits.
Q: What was the inspiration behind the "Hummingbird in a Box" album?
A: Basically, the Cincinnati Ballet had asked a few years before if they could use four of my pieces of music. I said, "Of course." I was out of town when the performance happened, but they sent me a DVD and it floored me. I never envisioned seeing or hearing my music with ballet and it was wonderful. A couple years later, the creative director of the Cincinnati Ballet asked me if I would perform with the ballet live with my band on stage behind them and do some of my older material. I said, "I would be thrilled to do that, but there's three sections (to the ballet), why don't I write one of the three sections from scratch?"
Q: Do you remember when you first heard the talk box and what attracted you to it?
A: Yes, I heard Stevie Wonder use it on "Music of My Mind." I also heard it on the radio when I was younger. I heard the call letters to a local radio station in England with this funny sound that kind of computerized sound and it was always very interesting to me.
Q: Then what happened?
A: About a year later I was in Abbey Road Studios recording with George Harrison for the album "All Things Must Pass." So I'm sitting next to George; we're playing acoustic. I think we were just about to do "If Not for You." I think he asked Bob Dylan, "I need a pedal steel player; do you know any?" And Bob said, "Use Pete Drake. He's the one I used on `Nashville Skyline.' " So (Drake) walked in, sets up like three feet from me; lovely guy. As he was setting up he said, "You ever hear one of these?" And he set up this little box. Anyway, the next thing of course he starts playing the pedal steel and (the talk box sound) is coming out of his mouth and it's that same sound. It's that Stevie Wonder, radio call letters sound and I said, "There it is. This sound I've been hearing. Where can I get one?"
Q: Can you tell me about the writing process for "Baby I Love Your Way"?
A: I borrowed a cottage on the beach in the Bahamas and I had to go down there and write an entire album in three weeks. For nearly two weeks I was panicking because I couldn't write anything that I liked. Then in the last week I wrote eight songs. The first one that started the ball rolling was actually "Show Me the Way." I woke up and I wrote that in the morning and then wrote the music and then sat down and wrote a verse and a chorus of music so I knew where I was going and then I thought, "Well, I better move on to something else, because I'm feeling good today (laughs). I need an album not a song." I went for a quick swim, a little bit of sun bathing and then sat down and started to write again and "Baby, I Love Your Way" happened on the same day. I remember sitting outside, a little wicker table and chair, and the sun was starting to set and that's when I wrote the first line "Shadows grow so long before my eyes and they're moving across the page. ..."

Heya folks. Back with a more productive post.
I just got home to find an aid letter from UT. Essentially, they want me to 'active my award' by 5/12/05 (which I assume also means selecting lenders, verifying amounts, etc., etc., etc.). How does that track with scholarships in June? Is that just bonus money outside of the student budget or what?

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 23, 2011) – Five volleyball coaches have received the U.S. Olympic Achievement Award, an honor that recognizes the colleges and universities whose coaches and student-athletes have won Olympic medals in the past two Olympic Games. Rob Browning (Saint Mary's College, Calif.), Marv Dunphy (Pepperdine), Jamie Morrison (Concordia University, Irvine), John Sepraw (UC Irvine), and Sue Woodstra (Humboldt State) represent the volleyball world among the total 38 coaches recognized.
The awards were announced by the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC), U.S. National Governing Bodies of Sport (NGBs) and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). The U.S. Olympic Achievement Award is presented every two years following the Olympic Games. For the 2011 installment of the awards, "institutions with a current student-athlete who was part of a medal-winning performance or a coach who was a credentialed member of the U.S. Olympic Team delegation and his/her athlete or team won a medal" in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing or 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver were recognized.
Browning, Dunphy, Morrison and Speraw served on the coaching staff of the 2008 gold-medal winning U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team under head coach Hugh McCutcheon. Woodstra took time off from collegiate coaching to hold the first assistant coaching position for the silver-medal winning U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team.
Browning will enter his seventh season in the fall as head coach of the women's volleyball team at Saint Mary's College. In six seasons, Browning has accumulated an overall record of 108-58 and a conference record of 56-28. Prior to coaching the Gales, Browning was an assistant coach for the U.S. Men's National Team for six years. The BYU alum has attended three Olympic Games with the men's team: 2000 in Sydney, 2004 in Athens and 2008 in Beijing.
Dunphy, head coach of Pepperdine, is tallying his 28th season with the Waves, who have won four NCAA Men's Championships in that time. In addition to his collegiate success, Dunphy stacks an impressive coaching tenure with the U.S. Men's National Team. During his time as head coach, the squad consistently was ranked No. 1 in the world, winning every major international tournament, including the gold medal at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. Most recently, Dunphy has served as an assistant coach at the 2000 Olympics and a consultant coach at the 1996, 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games, where the team won gold. In 1994 Dunphy was inducted into the Volleyball Hall of Fame and into the AVCA Hall of Fame in 2009.
In 2009, Morrison was named the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team assistant coach/technical coordinator. His familiarity with the position stems from his time with the U.S. Men's National Team, where he served as technical coordinator during the 2008 Olympic Games. Morrison was responsible for implementing statistics and analytics into training session plans and match-time decisions from 2005-2008. Before his tenure with the men's national team, Morrison was an assistant coach at Concordia University Irvine. Morrison also spent a season as both the men's and women's assistant coach at the University of Southern California and three years as an assistant and volunteer assistant coach of both men's and women's programs at UC Santa Barbara.
Currently in his eighth season as head coach of the UC Irvine men's volleyball program, Speraw has guided the Anteaters to two national championships in the last three years. In 2007, Speraw was named an assistant coach with the U.S. National Men's Volleyball Team and continued that role through the 2008 Olympic Games. In addition to the men's team, Speraw was named assistant coach of the USA Women's National Team in 2009. The UCLA alum's international resume prior to the national teams includes head coach of the U.S. Junior National Team for three seasons and head coach of the U.S. Youth National Team.

Woodstra began her head coaching career at Humboldt State in 2002 before taking on the role of first assistant coach of the silver-medal U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Prior to coaching the Lumberjacks, Woodstra held the head coaching position at the University of California and was the assistant coach at Florida State University. As a player, Woodstra earned herself an Olympic silver medal as team captain of the 1984 U.S. Women's National Team. In 2005, Woodstra, along with her 1980 U.S. National Team, was honored at the USA Volleyball's 60th Annual Dorothy C. Boyce Awards and Recognition Banquet.

I saw his show last night (on CNN-IBN) where he interviewed PC Chidambaram.
He was outright obnoxious! He went on badgering PC Chidambaram for no reason. He had an agenda and he wanted to prove it in the interview. When he was going nowhere, he kept taunting and badgering the interviewee. He had his facts wrong about PC Chidambaram's college and he unnecessarily brought in irrelevant information into the discussion.
Shouldn't the interviewee be allowed to talk? Karan Thapar abruptly stops PC from talking and unnecessarily derives wrong conclusions from his talks. Karan was petulant and he was bickering throughout the interview holding onto his pet theory or a preconceived notion about 'reservations' and 'PC Chidamabaram' and went on badgering PC throughout the program to prove that he is right.
After, what seemed like a marathon of incessant harassment, there was no clear output from the interview other than whas PC had already reiterated in his previous interviews (on CNN-IBN) - that he supports reservations and that he does not think a review of the reservations is necessary because it is already proven in southern states that they are effective. In the end, the output of such an interview is absolute nothing. It did not prove anything new nor brought out any new information for the viewer. It only highlighted how Karan was good at English and can impose his mastery and sophistry on the interviewee to make it seemingly appear that he is right.
The whole charade was childish. He made PC quite exasperated with continuous interruptions and protests and even the viewer shared the same feeling. It was exhausting; so much so that PC had to say during the interview that if he had no new question to ask, the interview could be terminated. PC asked Karan to be 'patient' and let him answer. And PC rightly pointed out more than twice that Karan was quibbling.
PC Chidambaram on the other had was calm and composed and kept his cool throughout the program unlike the interviewer. Karan appeared more like a child who asks for a chocolate, doesn't get it, and keeps asking and badgering the father- 'Why not! Why not! I want it now, I will not keep quiet till I get what I want!'

Canada's own Team SpiderTech powered by C10 made another breakthrough in professional cycling today, receiving an invitation to race the 2012 Tour de Suisse, the first-ever invite from a WorldTour race in Europe.
The Tour de Suisse is the fourth-biggest bike race in the world and its long tradition and popularity make it the largest regular annual event in Switzerland. Last year's 75th anniversary edition of the Tour de Suisse was broadcast on television in more than 100 countries.
"This is fantastic news for all of us at Team SpiderTech. We made very public our vision to crack the WorldTour, and this is another step in the right direction. We will use this golden opportunity to show we can race amongst the biggest teams, in the largest races. Our results this season, three podiums early in the season capped with a few top-15 rankings in classic races, are a testament of the strength of our program," said Steve Bauer, Olympic medallist and directeur sportif for Team SpiderTech powered by C10.
Bauer has good memories of the Tour De Suisse. During his illustrious career he stepped on the podium four times at the Swiss national tour, winning the eighth stage and finishing second overall in the 1988 edition.
Team SpiderTech has two other links with the Tour de Suisse. Newly-signed Dane Brian Vandborg has had strong performances at the Tour de Suisse, notably 26th overall in 2009 after finishing 8th in the time trial stage.
Swiss rider Raymond Kunzli is thrilled to have a chance at being selected to the eight-rider Team SpiderTech squad. Kunzli signed his first professional contract with Team SpiderTech during the off-season. "A new chapter begins in 2012. It's a dream come true for me to have the chance to take part in an event like the Tour de Suisse right at the start of my professional career," said Künzli.
In securing the invitation to race the Tour de Suisse, Team SpiderTech powered by C10 also owes a genuine thanks for the great support of SpiderTech and its magic blue kinesiology tape that keeps our riders performing on the bike every day.
The 2012 Tour de Suisse will start in Lugano on June 9th with a 7.3 kilometre time trial. The seventh stage, held on June 15th, is a 34.3 kilometre time trial race in Gossau. The ninth and final leg will finish in Sörenberg on June 17th.
"We have made some significant improvements in our operations this past off-season," said Bauer. "We picked up some great riders to the already solid team we had last year and we are riding stronger this season. We have great partners on board, such as SpiderTech Inc. as well as a consortium of partners dubbed C10, which includes BlackBerry, NRS Brakes, Pinetree Capital and Argon 18. We also brought on board key players to our management, such as Michael Carter and Curt Harnett, which will improve our field operations and business development tactics."
Bauer also commented on the team's objectives for the race: "At this point it is too early [to be specific]. The team will need to be focused on the task, be prepared to go into breakaways and take some risk while keeping a reserve of confidence in the riders on our team who can challenge in a strong man sprint or surprise in breakaways. We should not race for general classification but shoot for goals and prizes within the races. Stage results, animating breaks, grab one of the classification jerseys for a day or two."
"It's the fourth-most prestigious stage race behind the three Grand Tours, therefore we will go into it ready to challenge but have modesty in our approach and our messages."

How is the seed harvested?
Under guidance from Defra the wildflower meadows are cut for hay later in the year than traditional hay meadows, but this can also have its downside. Orchids flourish - there are hundreds of thousands of them - but some flowers arrive later and therefore some species struggle. Although a perennial will keep coming back, they still have a life span so will disappear within about five years if they're not allowed to set seed. For this reason the later flowering species are sometimes hand-harvested and sown into intensive beds in the walled garden.
An antique grass seed winnowing machine is used to sift the seeds which have been gathered or, more accurately, brushed off the meadows with a soft brush harvester and then spread out gently on massive, snag free sheets to dry. This gives time for any trapped insects to escape and then can easily be gathered and dragged in and under cover when the weather is inclement. The harvester can be set at different heights to harvest different species as it passes over the meadow at different times of the year.
Once sifted the seeds are kept chilled and stored in containers. Orders for the seeds come from county wildlife trusts, the National Trust, city and county councils and highways agencies, as well as private businesses and individuals. Julian is often called upon to give help and advice. Growing a wildflower meadow isn't easy and it will easily take four to five years to establish.

Hangin' out: No shame makes for good sounds
Vulgar Bulgar
at Twisted Branch
at Tokyo Rose
April 9
The dancing man pleasantly convulsed to the sounds wafting to the street from the balcony of the Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar. He danced as if he were the only person in the world. He danced like no one was watching. I wasn't envious of his moves, but I wished that I could find it in me to let loose, to be so free of all inhibition and shame that I'd be as oblivious to my surroundings as he was. He was liberated.
The music to which he danced– Vulgar Bulgar– was a different sort than I'm used to hearing on the mall– klezmer. I was amused. Instead of going inside and upstairs, I pulled a chair up to one of the many patio tables just below the balcony– I could still see the band through the Bazaar's open windows, and the music was just as audible as anywhere in the venue. Not to mention, I didn't want to lose sight of the dancing man.
Vulgar Bulgar was good for two reasons. One, they were playing a style that no one else around here (at least that I've seen) plays. That makes them fresh. Two, they seemed to be working the crowd. The sound of people clapping to the beat along with occasional whoops and hollers floated down to street level where I soaked it all in while the dancing man danced.
Now, I'm not the biggest authority on klezmer music, but it seemed to me that Vulgar Bulgar's musicianship was average. I wanted to hear the fiddler's fingers dance more enthusiastically across the strings. Her uninspired solos lacked confidence. Distracted, the dancing man began heckling some well-to-do passersby about the shortcomings of our current President. It was then I realized my dancing man was actually drunken man. It was time to move on
I skated over to Tokyo Rose– mainly to see one of my favorite local bands, Folkskunde. Honestly, what attracts me to these guys I really can't say. In the live setting they make a lot of freshman mistakes (which I don't hold against them because they're young). I guess it's the potential that each one holds as an individual and they have together as a group.
Maybe it's because, like the dancing man, they seem to be without inhibition. Because of it, something really pure shines through. I hope they stay together because I'll enjoy watching them grow. I just hope they bring the blow-up doll to the next show. By then maybe I'll have overcome my own inhibitions enough to talk to her

There are currently two versions:
0.5 series : Is a continuation of the 0.5.X.Y series, from the [master] (https://github.com/erikd/language-javascript/tree/master) branch of this github repository.
0.6 series : This has a vastly different and improved AST which makes if far more difficult to build an non-sensical Javascript AST. This code is in the new-ast branch of this github repository.
How to build

As outrage and concern over the Federal Reserve and its embattled fiat currency continue to grow, lawmakers in Missouri are considering legislation to protect residents by making gold and silver legal tender within the state. If passed, Missouri would join the state of Utah — which adopted a similar sound-money law last year — in its efforts to expand the monetary choices available to citizens.
Known as the "Missouri Sound Money Act of 2012," House Bill 1637 would define precious metals issued by the U.S. government as lawful money inside of the state. U.S. gold and silver coins would then essentially be valued in commerce at the true market-price of the metal instead of the largely irrelevant face value assigned by the federal government.
The legislation would also eliminate an array of state taxes on gold and silver — capital gains and sales taxes, for example — in a bid to allow honest money to circulate more freely alongside the Federal Reserve's inflationary debt-based paper currency. Federal taxes would not be affected, however, leaving at least one significant impediment to establishing true competition among currencies.
Under the proposed law, people would still be able to refuse payment in precious metals, and nobody could be compelled to pay in gold or silver. But supporters of the bill hope to establish sound-money depositories that would allow citizens to deposit precious metals and use debit cards to pay bills out of their accounts. The competition in currency, advocates say, would usher in an array of benefits.
A broad alliance of activists has worked tirelessly to advance the popular bill and similar measures in at least a dozen states, often for diverse reasons. Douglas Tjadon of the Sound Money Center and Greg Franco from the Utah Gold and Silver Depository both testified in favor of the legislation in Missouri.
"It's about giving citizens of Missouri an alternative to the dollar that is not affected by the monetary policies undertaken in Washington," Economics Director Rich Danker of the group American Principles in Action was quoted as saying in press reports. Some analysts, meanwhile, tried to portray the bill as merely a "protest" against the federal government and the privately owned Federal Reserve.
Rep. Paul Curtman, one of the sponsors of the bill, explained that the Fed and the federal government had created an inflationary situation by creating enormous amounts of new currency to bail out big banks. And the effects on prices are already being felt, he noted, adding that serious inflation may soon ravage the dollar's remaining purchasing power even further.
During a debate about the legislation in the state House of Representatives, one lawmaker admitted that she did not understand the bill — yet she said she opposed it anyway. Rep. Curtman responded by patiently attempting to explain some basic economic principles and why Missourians would benefit from competition in currency.
The legislation would, for example, help citizens to "hedge against inflation" and "protect the purchasing power" of their wealth by allowing them to save and trade in non-inflationary money. Meanwhile, the state would benefit by providing "more economic freedom" to the people of Missouri, Rep. Curtman explained.
"When prices begin to rise on the commodities index, I don't know about you, but I don't know of a lot of people in my district that have been getting a pay increase of 30, 40, 50 percent," Curtman added, citing official data about the wild expansion of the currency supply in recent years. "It is a state issue because everybody in our state uses Federal Reserve Notes … That's something that we're all suffering from."
Under a century of Federal Reserve control, the U.S. dollar has lost about 95 percent of its purchasing power so far. The price of gold and silver in Federal Reserve Notes, on the other hand, has risen meteorically. Gold, for example, was worth less than $20 per ounce in 1913. Today the price is over $1600. And unless something changes, that trend is expected to continue as Americans' wealth is quietly siphoned away.
According to an official summary of the sound-money legislation in Missouri, proponents say there are many reasons why state-based efforts to move toward honest money are worth supporting. Chief among them: the disastrous monetary policy and currency system currently plaguing America.
"The fiat money in use today is backed by nothing but debt," the summary notes. "Each time money is issued, it creates more debt." Of course, because virtually every single new dollar is issued as debt with interest, it becomes mathematically impossible to escape the debt trap. And Americans — particularly the poor and middle classes — pay the price.
There are many other reasons to support the bill, too, its backers say. "There are historical, constitutional, and economic reasons to support this choice of currency for Missouri citizens in light of our current economic environment including declining faith in the U.S. monetary system and concern about rising inflation," the summary explains, citing supporters of sound money. "The bill opens the door for expanded economic development by attracting capital to the state."
Fiscal analysts estimate that the Missouri Treasury could lose about $370,000 per year in revenue if the legislation is enacted — mostly because state taxes on precious metals would be eliminated. Advocates for smaller government, of course, see that as an added benefit — though admittedly a small one. The bigger issue by far is still currency.
As awareness about the problems with central banking and debt-based currencies continues to sweep across the nation, the sound-money movement has been gaining momentum quickly. Supporters of the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution have played a key role in the process, working alongside economists and a broad coalition of liberty-minded organizations to build public pressure on officials.
Utah became the first state in recent memory to recognize gold and silver as legal tender last year even as scores of other legislatures began debating ways to deal with the looming dollar crisis. South Carolina is still considering a similar law during this legislative session, and activists are working hard to get sound-money bills enacted in dozens of states.
"These are small moves at the moment, which are happening in state legislatures, not federal legislation out of Washington," noted financial analysts with the GoldMoney News Desk. "Nevertheless, such a groundswell could be a harbinger of something bigger on America's monetary-policy landscape."
The legislation in Missouri has already cleared several significant hurdles and was approved in the state House last month. The bill failed the first time because many state representatives were not on the floor. However, when the bill was resurrected in the afternoon, it passed overwhelmingly: 95 in favor against 37 opposed.
According to the Tenth Amendment Center, which supports the bill as part of its mission to restore states' rights under the Constitution, Republican state Sen. Chuck Purgason is now expected to push the sound-money legislation through the Senate Ways and Means committee. But with less than a month left in the legislative session, the clock is ticking.
If the legislation is approved by the state Senate, it will go to Gov. Jay Nixon's desk before becoming law. However, it remains unclear whether the Democrat Governor will sign it — he reportedly has taken "no position" yet on whether Missourians should be free to use sound money without paying extra taxes.

To promote a security in order to attract buyers.
To strongly encourage investors to buy a particular security. Touting usually comes from someone with a strong interest in seeing the security's price rise, such as a large shareholder, a public relations firm, or even the issuing company itself. To tout is illegal in some circumstances, notably around the date of registration with the SEC.
To foster interest in a particular company or security. For example, a broker might tout a security to a client in the hope that the client will purchase the security.

Residential Capital LLC won what might only be an interim skirmish in a quest to get a federal district court to halt a lawsuit by the Federal Housing Finance Agency against Detroit-based parent Ally Financial Inc. and some of its affiliates.
The eventual outcome of the suit is important because the agency isn't part of the global settlement to be implemented through New York-based ResCap's pending Chapter 11 reorganization plan.
In its role as conservator of Freddie Mac, the agency sued ResCap, Ally and affiliates alleging there were false and misleading statements in documents related to residential mortgage-backed securities that Freddie Mac purchased.
After ResCap filed for bankruptcy, the agency dropped ResCap from the suit. ResCap was Ally's mortgage-servicing unit.
ResCap started a lawsuit in bankruptcy court contending that continuing to sue Detroit-based Ally and other non-bankrupt affiliates was still a violation of bankruptcy's automatic stay. Contained in Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the stay automatically halts lawsuits against bankrupt companies.
U.S. District Judge Denise Cote took the suit out of bankruptcy court. One week later, in July 2012, she ruled that the lawsuit against Ally and non-bankrupt affiliates couldn't be halted because they weren't in Chapter 11. ResCap appealed.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan heard argument on June 12 and issued an unsigned, five-page opinion Tuesday sending the matter back to Cote for further findings.
In an important pronouncement of law, the appeals court said the "automatic stay may apply" to non-bankrupt affiliates "in some limited circumstances."
There has been continuing controversy over the question of whether the stay can protect non-bankrupt affiliates or company executives from being sued. The controversy remains because Tuesday's opinion lays down no bright-line rules.
The appeals court said the stay would apply if the agency's suit would have "immediate adverse economic consequences" on ResCap.
The appeals court told Cote to make "explicit findings" of fact on the question of whether continuation of the suit against non-bankrupt affiliates would have immediate adverse consequences for ResCap.
Whether Cote will allow the suit to proceed isn't immediately clear because circumstances have changed from one year ago. While the appeal was winding its way to the appeals court, ResCap reached a global settlement with creditors and filed a Chapter 11 reorganization plan with disclosure materials coming to court for approval on Aug. 21.
The cornerstone of the plan is the $2.1 billion Ally will pay for a release of claims that could be brought by ResCap creditors. The picture is complicated because ResCap's plan and the waiver of claims don't stop suits against Ally by the FHFA or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
ResCap filed for Chapter 11 reorganization in May 2012. The $1.38 billion in third-lien 9.625 percent secured notes due in 2015 traded on July 16 for 114.25 cents on the dollar, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The $473.4 million of ResCap senior unsecured notes due in April 2013 traded on July 12 for 35.5 cents on the dollar, a 51 percent increase since Dec. 19, according to Trace.

If I'm understanding the manual correctly the command line parameter - barca.exe /forcestart - can force Barca to start, even if there is another instance running from the same directory. I take this to mean being able to have two copies of Barca running at the same time. The problem is I'm not getting my head around how to use this.
I will appreciate somebody putting me right on this as it would be in daily use, if it can be sorted.
Thank you in advance.

Loyola at a Glance Faculty/Staff Newsletter
Montage series featured at Culture Collision art season kickoff event
August 23, 2013
Arts lovers are in for a treat next week when the Loyola University New Orleans Montage Fine and Performing Arts Series joins more than 60 local arts organizations for the fifth annual Culture Collision, a one-night-only event that kicks off New Orleans' 2013-14 cultural season. The Montage Series will highlight its more than 100 events scheduled for the season, including return engagements by the Vienna Boys Choir and The Priests.
This year's Culture Collision Aug. 28 at Generations Hall located at 310 Andrew Higgins Drive marks the largest celebration to date. The free happy hour takes place from 5:30 to 8 p.m., and a ticketed after-party featuring the local favorite funk/rock band Morning 40 Federation will be held from 8 to 10 p.m. Tickets for the after-party are available online for $10 in advance or at the door for $12.
Culture Collision was co-founded in 2008 by Loyola's own Jess Brown, communications and artist relations manager in the Office of Public Affairs, and Janet Wilson, membership manager/volunteer coordinator for WWNO 89.9 FM, as a way to showcase the depth and diversity of the New Orleans arts community while also nurturing relationships among local arts groups.
"Culture Collision is a tribute to the commitment, perseverance and passion of the New Orleans cultural community. It provides the arts organizations with a collective voice for promotion, education and collaboration while simultaneously offering attendees the opportunity to meet like-minded arts lovers," Brown said.
In addition to scoping out upcoming performances, attendees can also take advantage of exclusive ticket promotions, watch pop-up performances by select organizations, and win prizes from a huge, free raffle. Multiple cash bars and a variety of food vendors will also be on site.
For more information, visit the website or contact Brown in Loyola's Office of Public Affairs at 504-861-5882.

Many people who switch to The Paleo Diet often find themselves questioning their ritual morning cup of coffee. With roughly 90% of the North American population consuming coffee on a daily basis you're left wondering if coffee is an acceptable drink to include in your Paleo menu.
What is Coffee?
Coffee is created by brewing the roasted seed or "bean" of one of the numerous species of Coffee trees (coffea). The trees tend to thrive in high elevation, tropical climates with fertile soil. Because the tree can often grow up to 30 feet in height, it is typically pruned at much shorter heights to ensure an easy harvest. The majority of the world's coffee producers originate from countries located near the equator.
What Effect Does Coffee Have on the Human Body?
Caffeine is the main stimulant found in coffee. The consumption stimulates the central nervous system in humans and tends to ward off drowsiness. It also tends to act as a diuretic. Many heavy coffee drinkers report that their morning cup of Joe no longer gives them the same burst of energy that they experienced when they first developed their habit. In fact, many habitual coffee drinkers report suffering from sleep disturbances, headaches, and general "sluggish" behavior. This is often due to the fact that long term consumption has an exhaustion effect on the adrenal glands. It also hinders insulin sensitivity, which can lead to fatigue and headaches.
Should Coffee be a Part of a The Paleo Diet?
Coffee should be excluded by anyone seeking to achieve the most out of their Paleo lifestyle. The Paleo Diet focuses on eating nutrient dense, naturally occurring, anti-inflammatory foods that promote overall wellness and sustained levels of energy. Many people who switch to The Paleo Diet discover that their morning cup of black gold becomes a habit of the past. If you find yourself having a hard time quitting the coffee ritual, it might be helpful to incorporate moderate amounts of green tea which is slightly higher in antioxidants, and contains lower levels of caffeine.

Newcastle University and the University of Sunderland, in collaboration with Age UK and South of Tyne and Wear PCT, have been assessing the extent of alcohol abuse among the older generation in the region which often results from big changes such as retirement, bereavement, feelings of boredom, loneliness and depression.
To date, little research has been carried out into the problem and its impact on drinkers or their families, as the effects are often less obvious, go unreported, and unlike younger drinkers, more older people drink in their own homes. It's also an area which has received insufficient national attention through alcohol policies, which focus heavily on tackling the binge drinking culture or hazardous drinking in younger people.
Previous work by the study team has shown that even when clinicians have been encouraged to screen for excessive alcohol use, they often fail to deliver health-promoting advice to older people, while nurses report that they do not engage with them as they worry about depriving them of the social benefits of drinking.
Eileen Kaner, Professor of Public Health at Newcastle University said: "With our ageing population in the UK, it is clear that the number of older people with alcohol problems is rising. However, services often focus on younger drinkers and problem drug use as well as alcohol issues. This can be very off-putting for older people seeking advice or support about their drinking.
"In addition, many older people are not aware that alcohol might not be a good mix with other medication that they are taking. So there is a clear need for more discussion of these issues by health and social care practitioners."
Ann Crosland, Professor of Nursing at the University of Sunderland, one of the lead researchers said: "An ageing population means that the number of older people with alcohol problems is inevitably on the increase.
"The need to establish an understanding for the problems faced by this generation has now become urgent. It would be a sad reflection on society if we just ignore this."
The research team has been gathering data for the last two years through a review of literature, the mapping of current services and gathering the views and experiences of older people aged between 51 and 90. This has been done as part of the North East based Fuse* (The Centre for Translational Research in Public Health).
The team's research area covered South of Tyne & Wear (Sunderland, South Tyneside and Gateshead); locations with a higher-than average older population, high levels of social and economic disadvantage, a strong industrial past and pockets of heavy drinking.
Their findings have now been presented to government ministers in a Public Service Review to highlight the issue. It's hoped the review will eventually lead to service providers, such as GPs, routinely screening for drink problems in older people.
Of the 47 service providers included in the mapping process, only one reported that they specifically catered for the needs of older drinkers. Most were intended to be accessed for people over age 18, and most promotional material and alcohol services were specifically geared towards young people.
Professor Crosland said: "More information is needed to understand the patterns of drinking in later life and to establish the extent, nature and impact of hazardous drinking among older age groups.
"Service providers must start to consider the needs of older drinkers in their commissioning decisions. Drug and alcohol services also need to engage more effectively with this age group."
General population data suggests that alcohol consumption among the British decreases with age, but that over 55s are more likely to be regular drinkers in this country than their European counterparts. Up to 23 per cent of men and eight per cent of women aged 60 and over drink more than the recommended weekly limits. Older women appear to be at particular risk because they are more likely to experience loss through bereavement, loss of good health leading to depression and loneliness.
Those who took part in the study deemed as low risk drinkers, associated alcohol with sociability, relaxation and forgetting their troubles. Many of those identified as problems drinkers, had mental health problems, drank at home in isolation, felt shame, and thought it was too late to change, with too few services able to help them.
Bereavement and lack of meaningful activity were reported as triggering an increase in their alcohol intake. But many revealed that their excessive drinking had started earlier in their lives and had carried on into old age.
John Briers, Chief Executive of Age UK South Tyneside said that this research highlights what we have known for many years based on many of our service users who are isolated, depressed, bereaved and vulnerable. Alongside this research we have been delivering health promoting advice through a variety of community and domicilary based services. We are extremely grateful to South of Tyne and Wear PCT who commissioned this work after we raised with them some of our concerns. I would also like to thank colleagues in Age UK Gateshead and Age UK Sunderland who also assisted with this research."

Shooting a Par-3 hole in space: Three steps to ATV docking
Jules Verne ATV is lining up for Europe's first-ever automated docking in space. Following two demonstrations, the final 'putt' must be more accurate and gentle than on any rolling golf green.
Now that the vessel is 'on the green' - in a parking orbit 2000 m ahead of the ISS - ATV mission controllers must pace the spacecraft through two pending and crucial demonstration dockings, moving successively closer to the ISS, and then finally go for an actual rendezvous and docking attempt on 3 April.
ATV Control Centre: tight teamwork
Imagine the muscles, tendons, nerves and bones that must work in exquisite coordination and timing in a golfer's body to cause the ball to ultimately roll into the hole. It's the same with the ATV rendezvous and docking: A large number of people, computers, networks and systems must work in tight synchronisation - with fraction-of-a-second timing - to set Jules Verne on the last automatic leg of its docking.
The challenge is enormous and a successful first attempt will depend on very tight teamwork, excellent coordination and a superb understanding of the spacecraft and its complex automated control systems.
"The spacecraft is functioning perfectly, the team is very well trained and we are looking forward to an excellent first docking attempt on 3 April. It will be complex, but after our successful launch and early orbit phase, and the transfer to the parking orbit, the entire team here on the ground has gained a lot of confidence in themselves and in Jules Verne," says Alberto Novelli, ESA's Mission Director at the ATV Control Centre (ATV-CC) in Toulouse, France.
The ATV's automated Collision Avoidance Manoeuvre (CAM) capability was successfully tested in-flight on 14 March, and other functions of the sophisticated docking control system will be tested in two Demonstration Days, on 29 and 31 March. The manoeuvres are planned using a series of way-points and station points in the vicinity of the ISS, indicated as S-1, S0, S1, S2 and so on, which map out a complex series of dynamic orbital trajectories and zones.
Note all times and dates subject to change.
Demonstration Day 1 - 29 March - 15:19 CET
The main purpose of Demo Day 1 is to test the ATV's Guidance & Navigation System; the test will be commanded from ATV-CC. This is expected to show that the ATV can perform relative navigation with the ISS using relative GPS (global positioning satellites) to successfully and safely manoeuvre ATV to station point S2, located 3500 m behind the ISS and at the same orbital altitude.
After Demo Day 1, the results will be assessed by the ESA JADOR (Jules Verne ATV Demonstration Objectives Report) team and submitted to the ISS Mission Management Team; after an assessment and authorisation on 30 March, ATV can proceed to Demo Day 2.
Note all distances given with respect to the distance from the ATV's docking probe tip to the passive docking assembly on the Russian service module; this is called 'Relative Range.'
Demonstration Day 2 - 31 March - 14:46 CEST
The main purpose of Demo Day 2 is to test the Close Range Sensors and ATV's Guidance & Navigation System; the test will also include practising contingency procedures commanded by ATV-CC and by the ISS crew, as well as ATV close proximity manoeuvring. After passing station points S3, at 249 m, and S4, at 19 m from the ISS, ATV will be commanded to close to S41, 11 m from the docking port of Zvezda (the ISS Russian Service Module), then go back to S4, and finally an 'Escape' manoeuvre will be commanded to take ATV away from S4, away from the ISS, around the ISS and back to station point S1.
Once ATV has been assessed as fully ready for docking, the first attempt is scheduled to be made for 3 April.
Docking - 3 April - 16:41 CEST
The docking procedure will begin at 13:19 CEST, with ATV starting from station point S1, 30 km from the ISS. The ATV computers will use use Videometer and Telegoniometer data for an automated final approach and docking, going through the same station points as on Demo Day 2. ATV will slow down to 7 cm/second as it closes to within a few metres of the Russian module. ATV-CC mission controllers will direct the ATV in a step-by-step predefined approach, and will seek authorisation from the Russian Mission Control Centre in Moscow (MCC-M) before final contact.
At all stages, the ISS crew will be deeply involved. Their tasks will include control and monitoring of the ATV during Demo Day 1, 2 and docking, preparation of the Russian module for docking and issuing specific ATV commands, such as Abort, Hold, Retreat or Escape, when requested.

Eating for Two: What to Eat While Pregnant
Last year I got a late Christmas present—on December 26, I found out I was a few weeks pregnant. The very first thing I did was eat a celebratory piece of cheesecake (it's silly, but I felt as if I was giving the embryo a treat—thank you for implanting!). My second priority was to start reading about what I was actually supposed to be eating, which I suspected was not the cheese enchiladas, endless milkshakes, and french fries I dreamed of as the ideal indulgent pregnancy diet. To prepare for pregnancy, I had already cut out alcohol and started taking folic acid supplements, but how else would I have to change my ways in the months ahead?
I didn't think it would be that radical; after all, I already eat tons of vegetables and a reasonable quantity of beans and lentils, sneak whole grains into dinner every now and then, and try to enjoy a wide variety of foods in moderation. (Um, except for baked goods—when I bake exceptionally good cookies or bread, I find ways to justify eating quite a lot.) Despite my having always scoffed at vitamins, I picked up a prenatal multi just to make sure any gaping nutritional holes were plugged. Then I turned to What to Expect When You're Expecting, eager for little hints about how I could best nourish myself and the baby.
What's New On Serious Eats
Holy cow! These were not little hints—these were rather strict guidelines. While urging me not to stress out, the authors frequently reminded me that these were perhaps the most important nine months in my child's nutritional life. The rare indulgence—a blueberry muffin, two scoops of ice cream—was permissible, but for the most part the developing baby needed a diet of straight superfoods, if possible broken out daily into three servings of lean protein, four servings of calcium-rich foods, three servings of vitamin Crich foods, three to four servings of leafy green or yellow vegetables and fruits, one or two servings of other fruits and vegetables, "some" iron-rich food every day, four servings of fat, and a whopping six or more servings of whole grains and legumes. Some foods, of course, do double duty—yogurt is protein and calcium, beans and lentils fall into the protein and whole grain categories, and greens are, well, green in addition to being full of calcium and vitamin C—but the prospect of trying to work all this out, even in a casual way, made my head spin.
Conflicting Advice
Poking around the internet revealed that the prescriptions in What to Expect are considered to be relatively rigorous, an ideal to shoot for rather than a realistic daily plan, but over and over again I encountered the idea that what I ate while pregnant would make or break my child's future intelligence and physique. Pregnant women who start at a healthy weight should eat only about 300 extra calories a day, beginning only in the second trimester, and their nutritional needs are so high that those extra calories should definitely not be empty (like the un-recommended extra calories I, nearing the end of my first trimester, have recently been consuming in peanut butter cookie form). If you aren't nervous now about getting it right, just consider all the conflicting advice and bickering about the many ways you might get it wrong (hot dogs, soft cheese, sushi, Diet Coke?) and the mortal confrontation between the Puritans, who think three ounces of wine at dinner is child abuse, and the Europhiles, who claim that their mothers treated morning sickness with cigarettes and martinis, so what harm can a small glass possibly do?
Variety and Vitamins
If you care about food and lack the resources to hire a personal nutritionist and chef, it's a lot to process. Me, I'm back to counting on variety and vitamins to keep me balanced and healthy. I'm making an effort to eat more fish, which I think of as a luxury, in affordable, low-mercury forms like sardines and canned salmon, and am searching for whole grain dishes I am actually excited to eat. My new snacks are sunflower seeds (protein), tomato juice (vitamin C), and ants on a log (excuse to eat peanut butter, protein), joining old favorite snacks cheese (calcium) and almonds (protein).
Meg Hourihan's excellent post from last summer, "How I Ate While Pregnant," comes to mind frequently when I encounter scare stories about what not to eat. Painfully, I cut out coffee when this was published, but I'm probably eating more dessert than I should, since my only cravings so far seem to be SWEET and PEANUT BUTTER.
Although—and perhaps I should not admit this in a public forum—it's sometimes hard for me to tell whether I'm actually craving a cookie or ants on a log or if I've just lowered my willpower and blamed it on pregnancy. This is such a happy time, and baking and eating cookies is one of the best, easiest ways I know to amplify joy. As long as I'm walking everywhere and eating all the healthy stuff, too, I don't feel so bad about celebrating a little every day. We'll just have to see if I feel the same after my next weigh-in at the obstetrician's office.
Meantime, I'll be sharing the ways I find to work more whole grains, fish, and other foods high in virtue into my diet and baby's without making our dinner table look like a postcard from some grim commune. I'm no doctor or nutritionist—I'm a pregnant lady with an internet connection, a library card, and a lot of cookbooks—but I'm fairly confident that most of us would do well to add more healthy meals and snacks to our repertoires. Unless, of course, you're already easily getting your six servings of whole grains and legumes and more than five vegetables every day, in which case, who are you, and will you please share your secrets with all of us?

It seems simple to me. If you're trying to listen for a sound, you have to stop talking and be still.
Some people want to see unschooling while they're still teaching and putzing and assigning and requiring.
They have to stop that FIRST. And then they have to be still. And then they have to look at their child with new eyes.
If they don't, it won't happen.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (Oct. 24, 2014) – Teachers across the nation are liking, sharing and commenting on Horace Mann's faux reality series, "An Extreme Calling." Horace Mann (NYSE:HMN), a multiline insurance company providing insurance and financial services to the education community, released the series on Facebook, YouTube and its website, and teachers have been reacting to this humorous spin on challenges they face every day.
The latest episode in Horace Mann's video series, "Rubber Ducky Round-Up," features teacher trainees working to impose their will on an unruly group of rubber duckies and is featured on Horace Mann's Facebook page and horacemann.com.
"We did this series as a way to show teachers we get the challenges they face," says Dawn Klintworth, Vice President of Integrated Marketing. "Educators have really enjoyed the videos and are very engaged in our social communities. They're sharing the videos with friends and colleagues, and many are relaying their own humorous stories about daily challenges they encounter."
The first episode, "Two-minute Ingestion," featured teachers training for an extremely short – if not sometimes non-existent – lunch period. "Beat Back the Bladder," the second episode, showed teachers undergoing the bladder training needed to handle a day with minimal bathroom breaks. And in "Learning the Lingo," the trainees tried to crack the code of the sometimes confusing lingo of their students.
"We are champions of the potty dance," says one teacher on Horace Mann's Facebook page in reaction to the "Beat Back the Bladder" episode. Another teacher wrote, "Wish I had a spare bladder."
Horace Mann's Educator Advisory Panel's survey responses inspired the series when they shared the funniest things about being a teacher that only other teachers could understand. The survey also generated a comic series called, "Classroom Fun-da-mentals." Several of the comics have already been released.
To get an up-close view of "Life as Teacher" as described by the Educator Advisory Panel in the company's June survey, check out the full survey results at horacemann.com.
Horace Mann (Horace Mann Educators Corp. (NYSE:HMN)) is the largest national multiline insurance company focusing on educators' financial needs. Horace Mann provides auto and homeowners insurance, retirement annuities, life insurance and other financial solutions. Founded by Educators for Educators® in 1945, the company is headquartered in Springfield, Ill. For more information about the company, visit horacemann.com.
