Product used: LAL20 series linear actuator
The bore inside a fuel injector part is in a deep-drawn metal part inside of a plastic injection molded body. Sometimes during the injection molding process, the bore is crushed. Gauging, performed by LVDTs, load cells and air cylinders, left marks on the fuel injector plugs being measured, causing all of them to be rejected by the end customer, a major automobile company. The parts manufacturer turned to SMAC for a solution.
Gauging is now done with a plug gauge on the end of an LAL20-25 (with a maximum of 100 grams force) to detect if the hole is undersized, crushed or dented in, without marking the part during the process. The customer states that with the SMAC technology applied, that they are able to detect obstructions in the bore as small as five to 10 microns.
Key Operational Details
- 100% in-process inspection
- The contoured probe performs a soft-landing to engage the inside wall without damaging or deforming the surface
SMAC Advantages
- Delicate touch means that contact surfaces can still be measured even if they have different shapes, texture or compressibility
- Data Acquisition capability
- Soft-Land prevents marking or damage
- Controlled force ensures consistent measurement
- Repeatability

The Bibra Lake area of Western Australia, formally known as Walliabup Lake, was first provided as land for pioneer settlers in 1843. The first settler to the area, in that same year, was Benedict von Bibra, a Fremantle carpenter, after whom the lake is now named. In the following years other settlers chose to make the lush area their home. Land around Bibra Lake was utilized for market gardening and later dairy cows in order to supply Fremantle and Perth with fresh produce and milk. It also attracted many pioneers for picnics and recreation, as well as having an established tea rooms.
One of the founding families were the Tappers, prominent in Fremantle and associated with the maritime industry. After one of her sons died at sea, Mary-Ann Tapper was determined that her youngest son, Daniel, would not face the same fate and saved to purchase land at Bibra Lake. Her plan succeeded and the family established themselves with land at its south. Starting out as market gardeners, Daniel eventually included dairy cows in order to supplement the families living. Eventually the site of their homestead became the center of the local community with a petrol pump, telephone exchange and post office.

Reesor, Christian (1833-1915)
Christian Reesor: an Old Order Mennonite leader; born on 16 April 1833 in Markham Township, York County, Ontario, the son of John Eby Reesor, a Mennonite preacher, and Maria (Burkholder) Reesor. His home was on the site of the present Reesor (Wisler) Mennonite Church. His brothers Simeon and Noah were older than Christian while Benjamin and Susanna (Diller) were younger. His first marriage was to Esther (1838-68), daughter of John Hoover, in 1856. His second marriage was to Rebecca Miller (1837-1917) of Pennsylvania in 1885. Christian Reesor died on 26 December 1915.
Christian farmed directly south of Cedar Grove in Scarborough. He was ordained minister in 1863 and bishop in 1867. In the schism of 1889 in Ontario he allied himself with bishops Abraham Martin of Waterloo and Christian Gayman of Cayuga. This was the beginning of Old Order Mennonites in Ontario. One of his sons was Thomas Reesor.

Yuksek's New Video Will Make You Dizzy, Amazed [VIDEO]
The new video of French electronic music producer Yuksek is all about mirroring. The old trick where you split the video image in half, then mirror one half on the other side has been seen many times in music videos, but Yuksek's video for Off The Wall takes the surreal effect to a whole new level.
The video starts innocently enough with some nifty "disembodied hands" effects, but as the song progresses, you start to realize that the visual tricks are done so well it's hard to understand what's really happening on the screen — and how the hell they did it.
By the end, you'll probably want to watch it again — we definitely did (several times).
Perhaps taking a cue from OK Go, which also paired cheery indie music with innovative videos, Yuksek's video has everything it takes to become a hit.
We don't doubt the view count on the video on YouTube, which is currently slightly above 25,000, will soon rise into the hundreds of thousands.
How do you like the video? Share your opinions in the comments!

Teacher-Pension Costs Could Put Squeeze on More Districts
For years, the St. Louis school district has experienced the convergence of two trend lines school superintendents hope never to see: rising employee-pension costs and falling student enrollment.
Despite years of fully funding its share of the teacher-pension plan, the proportion of the St. Louis district's budget tied up in paying benefits for its teachers now makes up about 10 percent—a factor that, coupled with other rising costs, is fueling ongoing cuts in this beleaguered district.
"They are tough decisions that have to be made, because they are about the survival of the entire district," said Kelvin R. Adams, the superintendent of the 22,500-student district. "There are no easy decisions anymore in public education."
St. Louis' situation has resonance far beyond the city, because its troubles are similar to those that other districts are likely to face.
Across the nation, states have about $325 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, much of which could be passed along to districts. And, experts note, there are a limited number of ways to handle that debt—cutting services, raising taxes, or trimming benefits, none of which is particularly palatable.
"The default mechanism is service cuts, so fewer education dollars make it into today's classrooms because they are needed to pay for teachers' past service," said Joshua B. McGee, the vice president of public accountability at the Houston-based Arnold Foundation and an expert on teacher-pension systems. "The real difficulty is finding a solution that is fair to both workers and taxpayers."
In St. Louis, many of the cuts have been shaped with input from the city teachers' union. Changes to the pension structure haven't yet been made, but they have been proposed, and more are likely to be on the table in the future.
"The current system is no longer sustainable by the district," said Steven R. Carroll, the school system's lobbyist in the state capital.
Costs Rise
The Public School Retirement System of the City of St. Louis, or PSRS, was established in 1944. It predates the state teacher-pension plan serving teachers in all other Missouri districts except for Kansas City. (It is relatively rare for cities to have their own teacher-pension systems; only a handful, including St. Louis, Denver, and Cleveland, do.) The limited size of the St. Louis plan offers an unusual vantage point into the complicated relationship between pension benefits and bottom-line budgeting.
The district's share of pension costs rose from about $14 million in 2006 to approximately $28 million by 2013, even as K-12 student enrollment fell by 10,000 students.
Pension payouts now account for about 15 percent of the district's personnel spending. And with the budget set at about $288 million, they make up 10 cents on every dollar the district spends. The figure has prompted public concern from Superintendent Adams and Rick Sullivan, the president of the special administrative board created by the state in 2007 to manage the district.
By the standards of teacher pensions, St. Louis' plan pays relatively modest benefits, and it is in better fiscal shape than most plans nationwide.
At 89 percent funded, the PSRS is not nearly as undernourished as many states', and the city has met its required annual contribution into the system for years, records show. (The Missouri state plan is 85 percent funded; the average of national state teacher-pension plans is 73 percent; and neighbor Illinois' plan is just 47 percent funded.)
The St. Louis plan's "pension multiplier," a value that helps determine each retiree's pension payout, is set at 2 percent of their final average salary, lower than the 2.5 percent in the state plan. Payouts average about $1,800 a month per teacher, according to the system's most recent annual report. (The average teacher salary in the city is $49,000.)
While teachers pay only 5 percent of their salaries into the PSRS—far lower than the 14 percent paid by teachers in the statewide plan—they also pay Social Security payroll taxes, unlike peers in the state retirement system, who do not participate in Social Security.
The factors contributing to the budget squeeze are much more interrelated: a rapidly shrinking school district, coupled with the 2008 economic downturn and a shift in the composition of the teaching force.
For decades, St. Louis has witnessed a decline in student enrollment and, consequently, a corresponding decrease in per-pupil state funding. Tax revenue is also down, as is state spending on education.
Other costs are related to the structure of defined-benefit pensions—the type in which teachers in St. Louis and nearly every state are enrolled. Such plans pool funds and pay out to retirees according to a specific formula, and as such, they are dependent on the workforce composition.
Changing Workforce
In St. Louis, the teaching force has grown gradually younger, partially because of two voluntary early-retirement programs. Younger teachers, with their lower salaries, pay less into the system and are more likely to leave the district and withdraw their contributions, noted Andrew Clark, the executive director of the PSRS. The fund is also on the verge of passing the 50-50 ratio of active members to retirees, which also will drive up district costs since fewer active members will be paying into the plan.
"Even though the number of teachers hasn't shifted that much, what they're earning has, ... and at 5 percent, someone has to make that up," Mr. Clark said. "One of the reasons we're still well-funded is that we try to temper it down about [cost-of-living increases] and extra benefits. We've been really vigilant about that."
Recession's Impact
The pension system's assets were not as hard hit by the 2008 recession as some state plans, but the recession still added to the system's costs.
Carrying an unfunded liability, or pension debt, of any size increases the cost of retirement benefits, because in addition to paying for the benefits teachers earn each year, employers are charged a premium on each employee to help pay off the accumulated pension debt, Mr. McGee said.
A look at the last few years of budget cuts reveals the options starkly. School closings. Bus-route reductions. Cuts to central-office, teaching, and school counselor positions. Furlough days. Principals now serving 11- rather than 12-month contracts.
The district's fiscal 2014 budget outline proposes closing two more schools this fall, and reducing more positions, among other cuts. Most reductions will be made through attrition and retirement, but "targeted" layoffs may be necessary, Mr. Adams said. Since his arrival in 2008, the district has had to shutter more than a dozen schools, a wrenching task.
Katherine M. Wessling, the president of the district's elected school board, which serves mainly as an advisory body and sounding-board for the community, outlined the difficulty of the choices.
"It's a tough situation. You want teachers to feel valued, and they shouldn't be in poverty when they retire," Ms. Wessling said. At the same time, she worries that reductions to some areas, such as art and music programs, will give the city's 17 charter schools an edge in attracting parents, further contributing to enrollment losses at the 77 regular district schools.
Some successes have occurred in building back the student population and teaching force, noted Byron Clemens, the vice president of the St. Louis Teachers Union, an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers.
Over the past three years, the district has enrolled 2,200 students into a new early-childhood program financed partly through the release of funds formerly set aside for desegregation efforts, bringing up the number of enrolled students.
The closing of six charter schools belonging to the Imagine Schools chain, in 2011-12, also brought more students back to the regular public schools.
"We had an increase in enrollment for the first time in decades," Mr. Clemens said. "That's through working together in partnership with the district."
Times remain fairly tight for retirees, on the other hand. Unlike state plans that guarantee periodic cost-of-living increases, St. Louis' COLA increases must be approved by the special administration board.
Teachers have not been granted a COLA since 2006; administrators say they simply can't afford one, a decision that has been protested by a small but vocal group of retirees.
National Implications
According to the Denver-based National Conference of State Legislatures, 48 states revised public-employee plans between 2009 and 2012, often by raising contributions or the required age or service commitments, or by reducing benefits. Such changes are slowly starting to appear on the radar in St. Louis. A bill introduced this legislative session in the state capital would have gradually raised teacher contributions to 7.5 percent of their salary, among other factors. It was supported by the school district and will be reintroduced again during the next session, said Mr. Carroll, the lobbyist for the district.
Fewer states have examined alternatives to defined-benefit plans. Some of those options, such as 401(k)-style plans, tend to be vigorously opposed by teachers' unions because they shift risk from taxpayers at large onto individual teachers. Rhode Island, in 2011, recently moved to a plan combining features of both types.
Mr. Adams supports looking at a 401(k)-style option.
"The historic solutions don't work the way they did," he said. "People are not staying in the profession 25 years anymore."
It's an option the St. Louis Teachers Union says it will oppose.
"We've gotten through these really rough economic times, and because we've gone through this recession, we've seen the benefit of a defined-benefit plan," Mr. Clemens said. "Retirees keep their houses; they keep their retirement; they're able to shop at the grocery store."
Whether St. Louis' situation offers insights for other districts remains to be seen, given the variations in state laws and actuarial assumptions undergirding the plans.
Nationwide, teacher pensions carry a liability of around $325 billion, largely because of states' failure to make payments in full or on time. Costs have also risen as a result of some plans' assumptions and the benefits lawmakers promised to teachers in flusher times.
Among associations representing pension managers, for instance, much debate has focused on whether the 8 percent rate of return assumed over the valuation period is too high.
'Discount Rate'
The figure, known as the "discount rate," has been used by actuaries for most public-pension plans since the 1980s, but also increases risk.
"You don't have to miss your expected return by very much over that period of time, due to compounding, to end up with a huge deficit in asset values from where you expected," Mr. McGee noted. "Plan sponsors have used high discount rates to keep their current cost low, but the higher the discount rate a plan uses, the more likely it becomes that teachers' benefits will be underfunded and that costs will rise in the future."

Professor Chyi-Yeu Lin of the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology has experimented with robot heads before (here's a few of them), and now his team has built a robot that can read music and emote according to the song's lyrics. Too bad this head looks like the Bride of Johnny Cab.
From the paper "A face robot for autonomous simplified musical notation reading and singing" (PDF link):
This research is aimed to devise an anthropomorphic robotic head with a human-like face and a sheet of artificial skin that can read a randomly composed simplified musical notation and sing the corresponding content of the song once. The face robot is composed of an artificial facial skin that can express a number of facial expressions via motions driven by internal servo motors. Two cameras, each of them installed inside each eyeball of the face, provide vision capability for reading simplified music notations. Computer vision techniques are subsequently used to interpret simplified musical notations and lyrics of their corresponding songs. Voice synthesis techniques are implemented to enable the face robot to sing songs by enunciating synthesized sounds. Mouth patterns of the face robot will be automatically changed to match the emotions corresponding to the lyrics of the songs.
Click to viewClick on the box at left to see this robot warble a tune. According to Dr. Lin, it takes 40 seconds for the robot to learn a song.
Still, in a random survey of 100 Taipei passers-by, only 50% found this singing robotic head "entertaining." Maybe that's why Lin's team is further refining these heads to serve as greeters in restaurants. Alas, the robotic entertainment industry ain't that different from meatbag show biz.

Mike Kelley gives his cat Andy a final kiss as the animal expires after veterinarian Dr. Mary Gardner euthanized the 10-year-old pet, in Newport Beach, Calif., Nov. 9, 2013.
A few weeks earlier, Andy didn't greet Kelley at the door as usual and was soon diagnosed with liver disease, which meant euthanasia.
It happened with the help of Gardner, co-founder of Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice, the country's first organized network of veterinarians who provide hospice and end of life care in the pet's home.

Whether it's a sonnet or a free verse, poetry has the power to move the soul the way no other form of literature can. In honor of National Poetry Month, we are counting down 10 of our favorite Latino poets of all time. Find out who made the cut and let us know who your favorite writer is!
1. Poets: Sandra Cisneros
Sandra Cisneros (1954 – Present)
The Chicana writer may be best known for her fiction novel, The House on Mango Street, and her collection of short stories, Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories, but Cisneros has also published an array of raw and descriptive poems that challenge Chicana identity and sexuality. Her poetry collections, My Wicked Wicked Ways and Loose Woman, include vivid and erotic proses that celebrate the essence of being a free and fearless woman.
2. Poets: Julia Alvarez
Julia Alvarez (1950 – Present)
The Dominican American writer became a literally legend with novels like How The Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents and In The Time of The Butterflies, but Alvarez has also published several poetry collections including, The Other Side, Homecoming, and The Woman I Kept to Myself. In 2004, the award-winning writer spoke to Latina about that poetry means to her, "For me, poetry is that cutting edge of the self, the part which moves out into experience ahead of every other part of the self."
3. Poets: Luis J. Rodriguez
Luis J. Rodriguez (1954 – Present)
The Chicano writer was born in Texas and moved to East Los Angeles, where he was sucked into the gang life at the tender age of 11. His rough childhood would later become the muse for his autobiographical work, Always Running: La Vida Loca. Rodriguez's passion for depicting the truth about urban life has also influenced his poetry like, My Nature is Hunger: New & Selected Poems, Trochemoche, The Concrete River, and Poems Across The Pavement. The award-winning writer has most recently released a new memoir titled, It Calls You Back: An Odyssey Through Love, Addiction, Revolutions, and Healing, which includes an honest narrative about gang-life and its vicious cycle.
4. Poets: Pablo Neruda
Pablo Neruda (1904-1973)
The Chilean writer's poems and sonnets can easily romance any crush you're secretly longing for. In 1971, Neruda won the Nobel Prize for Literature and was named as one of the most inventive poets of his time. Neruda, who was exiled to Argentina for supporting the Communist Party and later returned to his native country, combined his love for politics and nature in his famous work, Canto General. He lost his battle with prostate cancer in 1973, but Neruda's works embodied a romantic and revolutionary spirit that will live on forever.
5. Poets: Jose Marti
Jose Marti (1853 – 1895)
Jose Marti was more than a writer and philosopher. He was a revolutionary leader who remains a heroic figure in Cuba today. Marti's vision wasn't just to write poems of an ideal nation, but to free Cuba from Spain and make sure the country became a democracy free of slavery. His poetry was known for being nationalistic and honest about the ideologies of race, class, and oppression in the island. He died during a battle against Spanish troops in 1895.
6. Poets: Ruben Dario
Ruben Dario (1867 – 1916)
The Nicaraguan poet was all about showcasing his Latino pride! He launched the literary movement modernismo (modernism) and is known as a master of words in Central and South America. We love his poems; "Far Away" and "In Autumn" just to name a few.
7. Poets: Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Luis Borges (1899 – 1986)
The Argentine author is known as the original creator of magical realism. Although other writers at the time were also experimenting with science fiction-based stories, Borges' became one of the most celebrated writers in the genre. His work transforms fantasy into reality in a way only a literally genius can do. Borges died of liver cancer in 1986.
8. Poets: Julia de Burgos
Julia de Burgos (1914 – 1953)
Known as one of the greatest poets in Puerto Rico, Burgos was greatly inspired by La Isla Del Encanto and its independence. In one of her most famous poems, Río Grande de Loíza, she writes:
Río Grande de Loíza! Great river. Great flood of tears.
The greatest of all our island's tears
Save those greater that come from the eyes
Of my soul for my enslaved people.
9. Poets: Octavio Paz
Octavio Paz (1914 – 1998)
Paz was born in Mexico City and fought in the Spanish Civil War in 1937. The legendary poet and novelist was awarded the Nobel Prize of Literature in 1990. His works featured Aztec mythology and themes of solitude. Some of our favorite poems include, "Passage" and "Spaces."
10. Poets: Nicolas Guillen
Nicolás Guillén (1902-1989)
The Cuban writer's prose as a rhythmic beat that cuts to your core with motifs dealing with oppression and social issues in pre-revolutionary Cuba. He strongly believed that artists and people of color should, "Express our individual dark-skinned selves without shame." One of our favorite poems, "La canción del bongo," depicts the rich mixtures of races in Cuba and how they all connect to one single root.

Let me tell you a little bit about Herzerl Tours and then you will agree that we are a very good choice for tours to Austria, Northern Italy, Germany and Switzerland !
We believe in doing tours to places that we know well - have lived there or visited there - so that we can give our clients the best for their money.
Susanne Servin, owner of Herzerl Tours is a native of Vienna, Austria; she has lived in Europe and traveled there extensively. She started her company to share her experiences with Americans by taking them to tour her birthplace and other favorite spots of hers.
Herzerl Tours Philosophy: we offer destinations that are very well known to us -where we have stayed and know the people- the owners, chefs, vintners and guides etc. personally.We only organize small, intimate tour groups (or mini groups / FIT's) to enable personal contact such as the use of traditional public transportation as much as possible, meeting and talking with locals (most of whom speak some English), listening to their music; learning to cook the local cuisine and pairing it with local wines, eating in typical restaurants - avoiding the known "touristy" venues. This will give the tour participants a chance to find out what the country of their choice is really all about.

'Common sense' keeps important debates from moving forward (Column)
This late spring and early summer I spent some time in rural Nebraska and Wyoming. What is so striking is not the overwhelming dislike of the Democratic Party in rural America, and particularly the President. What is striking is the difference in the definition of the worst phrase known to mankind -- "common sense."
When I was in New York in January I kept hearing the phrase "Newtown changed everything." What we needed now was "common sense" gun safety reform.
In Nebraska and Wyoming, two states where almost any person you encounter is likely armed, "common sense" means not importing the same failed gun policies from big cities. In other words "common sense" means not implementing the same policies that have turned Chicago into a war zone. In Nebraska one farmer asked me how can the mayor of New York and his allies talk about "common sense" gun safety, but not offer a single safety course for firearms?
In truth, Newtown changed nothing. The people that were always for gun control measures are still for it. The people that were against gun control measures before Newtown are still against it. And the people in the first category are less passionate than the people in the second. Both are surrounded by an ambivalent middle. This is why the polling on "common sense" gun control is drifting back to before Newtown.
In Boston in February when I asked friends and business associates about immigration, I heard very rational explanations about the need to bring people out of the shadows. In Nebraska and Eastern Colorado, immigration is about reducing blue collar wages through competition from new immigrants. One young field hand who took me turkey hunting asked how can we have almost 8 percent unemployment, wages depressed outside the oil patch, and bring in more immigrants? Which of those two views is "common sense?" I can tell you both sides believed they were talking "common sense."
It is an incredibly divisive phrase. What it really means is the speaker has a point of view unbacked by any science or data. Rather than admit that, the speaker just says it is "common sense." In other words if I make up a scenario, apply my own deductive reasoning, it is obvious I am right.
What is "common sense" is that this is a complex and diverse country. If you live in rural Colorado or even more remotely, rural Wyoming, your experience is incredibly different from the hustle and bustle of New York. The average working family survives on less than $75,000 a year. You would have trouble surviving in an outer borough of New York on that income. But you can hunt and fish year round in Wyoming unbothered by the hustle and bustle.
It might make "common sense" in New York to mandate universal healthcare given the enormous cost to New York of the uninsured. But in rural Wyoming it is an infringement on the basic "common sense" reason people live in Wyoming -- to get away from any mandate on how they live their lives. And they do not have a healthcare crisis in Wyoming, particularly given the energy boom.
Inevitably explaining your reasoning and the data is impossible after someone has heard you say their view runs against "common sense." Language is important. If we are ever going to get beyond our current divided state, we are going to have to deal in facts, reason and respect.
And that is not "common sense." It is hard work each and every day. Work that shows people you care not about what you think, but about what they think. That you are willing to learn from their very different life experiences. Because once you make that effort, they might be interested in what you think.

Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plant technology can produce reliable and dispatchable electric power from an intermittent solar resource. Recent advances in thermochemical energy storage (TCES) can offer further improvements to increase off-sun operating hours, improve system efficiency, and the reduce cost of delivered electricity. This work describes a 111.7 MWe CSP plant with TCES using a mixed ionic-electronic conducting metal oxide, CAM28, as both the heat transfer and thermal energy storage media. Turbine inlet temperatures reach 1200 °C in the combined cycle power block. A techno-economic model of the CSP system is developed to evaluate design considerations to meet targets …

Growing up, I remember watching the game show 'Let's Make a Deal,' the centerpiece of which was forcing contestants to select an unknown prize: to essentially gamble on making the right choice.
Pennsylvania has elected not to create a state-based health exchange.
Would it be what's behind curtain No. 1 or door No. 2, the new car or the live llama?
For the last two years, we've been asked to play a version of 'Let's Make a Deal' with the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services on the issue of whether Pennsylvania would build a state health insurance exchange of its own or opt instead to have the federal government operate an exchange for us.
The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act provided that all states must have a health insurance exchange operational by Oct. 1, 2013, in order for consumers to purchase insurance by 2014.
Building an insurance exchange is not like helping my 7-year-old son with a Lego project. Instead, the ACA requires the creation of an entirely new way of purchasing health insurance using technologies and distribution systems that don't exist in most states and that would cost millions of taxpayer dollars to build.
Doing it correctly for Pennsylvania also means doing it in a cost-effective and sustainable manner, in a way that allows Pennsylvania flexibility in managing the operations for our insurance marketplace.
During the last two years, the Pennsylvania Insurance Department has been trying to understand the implications of building such an exchange in Pennsylvania.
We've held discussions with interested parties, performed studies and secured vendors and funding to assist with and prepare for the establishment of a state-based exchange, with the assumption that it might be the best option for Pennsylvania.
All options were put on the table and considered. Four months ago, after repeated requests for more information, we memorialized our primary outstanding questions for HHS.
Less than five days before the deadline for states to declare their intentions regarding exchanges, HHS issued a general letter with answers and guidance. There was not enough information, however, and it was given too late to be useful.
States are consequently being asked by the federal government to make uninformed choices - do you want to go with what's behind curtain No. 1 or opt instead for what's in box No. 2? Health insurance is not a game for Pennsylvanians who depend on it.
Gov. Tom Corbett simply wasn't ready to gamble on the unknowns associated with a state exchange when it involves the health care of Pennsylvanians and millions of taxpayer dollars.
It is for these reasons that Pennsylvania is electing not to create a state-based exchange and instead opting for the choice where there is more certainty in having a federally facilitated exchange to operate in the state. We understand the frustration of Pennsylvanians wanting to understand what will be happening with their health insurance.
We share that frustration. We are, however, committed to working through all the uncertainty and getting consumers what they need to make informed decisions. By law, the decision to establish a state-based exchange can be re-evaluated each year. But consumers, employers, medical providers and health insurers need to understand now what will be happening in 2014. Without timely and comprehensive guidance from HHS, this is the only reasonable decision.
We will work with the federal government to determine how consumers might compare health plans and what plans might be sold on the exchange. We will work on what the plans should cover for individuals and small businesses. We will continue to keep Pennsylvanians informed and engaged every step of the way.
Improving access and affordability of health insurance remains a priority for the Corbett administration, but we're going to do so in a deliberate and considered manner. This issue is far too important to treat as a game show.
Michael F. Consedine serves as insurance commissioner for the Pennsylvania Insurance Department, a cabinet-level position in the Corbett administration. Consedine was also elected secretary/treasurer by his peers to the National Associaiton of Insurance Commissioners.

PORTSMOUTH — Maria Noucas was walking past the chapel at the U.S. Naval Academy last week when she realized, once again, that coaching college basketball at Navy is different than just about anywhere else."There were two parking spots reserved," she said. "One was for the Secretary of the Navy. The other was for the Sultan of Brunei."
One thing that is a constant lately in Annapolis, Md., is the women's basketball program's success when the calendar turns to March. For the third year in a row, Navy is headed to the NCAA tournament after winning the Patriot League championship.
"It feels really good," said Noucas, the former Portsmouth High School standout who's in her fourth year as an assistant coach. "We're really proud of our team this year. We don't have any seniors. It made it more challenging, but even more rewarding."
Navy is seeded No. 15 in its region and will play No. 2 Kentucky in a first-round game Sunday (noon) at St. John's University in Queens, N.Y.Noucas isn't the only local product taking part in the NCAAs. Maddie Blais of Exeter is a freshman at Marist, seeing time off the bench for the 12th-seeded Red Foxes, who take on No. 5 Michigan State in a first-round game this afternoon (1:45 p.m.) in College Park, Md.Blais, who played at Exeter High School and later prepped at New Hampton, scored a season-high 13 points in her team's 72-50 win over Manhattan in the quarterfinals of the MAAC tournament, which it won to secure an auto bid to the NCAAs.
"I think it said something about the future I've got here at Marist," she said.
Jeremy Friel of Durham is on the coaching staff at Albany, which beat Vermont last weekend to win America East and was trying to play giant-killer against Duke in the first round of the NCAA men's tournament on Friday in Philadelphia.
"Great shoot around at Wells Fargo!" he tweeted Thursday. "Nice of the Duke staff to watch. I think they picked up a few drills they liked."
Noucas, meanwhile, played on some of the last Class L teams at Portsmouth a decade ago and they were good ones, twice reaching the state semifinals. She opted to continue her career at Division III Bowdoin College, where she helped the Polar Bears reach four NCAA Division III tournaments, captained the team and earned All-NESCAC honors as a senior, and graduated among the program's top 10 all-time in assists and 3-pointers.
The coach there her first three years was Stefanie Pemper, who'd later hire her a year into her tenure at Navy.
"When I recruited her to Bowdoin she told me she wanted to be a college coach and that passion never wavered," said Pemper, shortly after her hiring. "Maria has an excellent understanding of the game and when she puts her mind to something she accomplishes it."
While Noucas, who grew up in Portsmouth, said she would like to be a head coach down the road, she's enjoyed seeing her role as an assistant expand at Navy, where she coaches the guards and has extensive recruiting responsibilities. Like the Naval Academy's student body, the basketball players come from a wide range of geographic backgrounds.
"A lot of the same responsibilities, just in a greater capacity," she said. "You get a lot more autonomy."
Under Pemper, who's in her fifth year as coach, the Midshipmen earned their first-ever NCAA berth in 2011 and have followed it up with two more, though they've yet to win a game. They lost to third-seeded DePaul two years ago, 56-43, and to second-seeded Maryland, 59-44, last year.
"Our team is familiar with how good the opponents will be, especially the athleticism and the physicality," said Noucas. "We try to slow the game down a lot in those situations, be good defensively."
Jade Geif, their 6-foot junior forward, leads the team in scoring (13.1 points) and rebounding (7.9). Two players Noucas works with, guards Alix Membreno and Kara Pollinger, are both in double-figures and strong at both ends of the floor.
Against Kentucky, Noucas' team is again cast in the role of heavy underdog. But she's looking forward to a return to the Northeast, where her family will be on hand for the game, as well as several Bowdoin alums.
"To be able to do it three times is pretty amazing," said Noucas. "And it's special to be able to do it here."

Christmas Wallpapers 1366x768 HD Backgrounds
XMas HD Wallpaper 1366x768 Widescreen
Christmas is also called Christ's Mass, Nativity, Noel, Feast of the Nativity.
Several figures, known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas and Santa Claus are associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season.
Christmas or Christmas Day is a holiday observed generally on December 25 to commemorate the birth of Jesus, the central figure of Christianity.
The date is not known to be the actual birthday of Jesus, and may have initially been chosen to correspond with either the day exactly nine months after some early Christians believed Jesus had been conceived, the date of the Roman winter solstice, or one of various ancient winter festivals.
