Republicans have got it wrong again. Does anyone but me see that cutting food stamps by $4 billion annually while giving large agricultural subsidies in the billions is just wrong.
Twenty years ago we had about 400 food banks in the U.S. They were stop-gap measures for those that got sick, were laid off, etc.
Now we have over 1,600. Most but not all of the people on food stamps use these food pantries to supplement their food reserves because their paychecks don't reach far enough to pay for food before the money runs out.
The food pantries have turned into poor grocery stores. For the most part, these are the working poor that suffer food anxiety every week worrying about how to feed their children. We are not subsidizing poor people, we are subsidizing Walmart, large coffee chains, etc. who do not pay their people a livable wage.
For those who argue against a socialized state, I kind of agree. The answer is two easy steps. Bring the minimum wage up to a livable wage so people can afford food and stop subsidizing big business both here and abroad. Any company moving paying jobs out of American should lose all government subsidies.
The way Republicans are handling it is to cut off more food from families that need it and pay big business even more. We don't subsidize the Pentagon with donations and we can't expect to subsidize feeding Americans with donations to food banks. It is just wrong!
All you Christians should be outraged at your representatives. Didn't the Bible say, "Do unto others as you would do unto me." Come on, let the silent majority not be silent. Our children need us now.
As for the government, step up and lead. Obama, veto the thing.

what to buy
The LG WM3987HW is an all-in-one washer-dryer combo that combines a front-loading washing machine with a condensing dryer. It's about the same size as a regular front-loading washer (3.6 cubic feet) and can wash a full load of laundry, but can only dry about half that amount at once. The dryer doesn't vent, so this washer-dryer combo can be used in small spaces without washer/dryer hookups. However, the ventless dryer does make drying much more time-consuming -- up to four hours.
User reviews of the LG WM3987HW are largely positive, though we did read some reports that the dryer can leave clothes feeling damp. Others say that the clothes only seem damp because of steam and dry almost instantly with a quick shake. We also read a few complaints about breakdowns, and users add that LG's customer service can be a hassle to deal with. If you have a washer/dryer hookup in your home, but don't have space for a full-size standard washer and clothes dryer, a laundry center -- such as the GE Spacemaker GTUP270EMWW (*Est. $1,325) -- costs less, can dry a full load at a time and doesn't take as long to run.
We found more than 300 reviews for the LG WM3987HW washer-dryer combo at various retail sites, including LivingDirect.com, HomeDepot.com and Amazon.com. However, there appears to be some overlap among these reviews, as some of them are pulled from the LG manufacturer site. About 80 additional reviews can be found at Buzzillions.com -- most of them pulled from retail sites, with a few submitted directly by users -- and this site also supplies a handy summary of users' most commonly cited pros and cons.

How buying a veterinary practice can be a path out of student debt.
It should be straightforward: You tell your clients what to do, and they do it. Aren't client relations supposed to work this way? After all, you're a doctor, you have command of the English language, and your clients love their cats and want to care for them. Unfortunately, compliance doesn't happen as frequently as we'd like, even with intelligent, committed clients. Reversing this trend means understanding—and eliminating—the reasons for client noncompliance.

It's quiet at this long, low ranch house up in Benedict Canyon even though it's Saturday night. The year is 1974, and the decor reflects the era's aesthetic: zebra rug, mod wallpaper and suede sofas facing a mirrored bar. This is a modern bachelor pad, a hilltop roost with a pool, sauna and stunning view of Los Angeles. In the bedroom, a partially clothed BERT SCHNEIDER smokes a joint with a lithe teenage girl. Bert is tall, handsome and self-assured, a Hollywood producer on top of the world. He hears a knock and looks up to see his teenage son, JEFFREY, fling the door open.
"There are two black ladies outside," Jeffrey said. "And one of them is very pushy." Bert put on a shirt and headed for the entry. There he found the two women, but on closer examination he realized the pushy one was not a woman at all but a man, bewigged and squeezed into a dress. Bert smiled and asked, "Huey?"
The man in drag was Huey Newton, the 32-year-old leader of the Black Panther Party. Huey was a major cultural figure, a street- and book-smart kid from Oakland who had become an icon of the black power movement. His public displays of firearms, meant to protect the black community from overzealous police, had brimmed over into shoot-outs, including his own deadly encounter with Oakland police officer John Frey, for which Huey was convicted in 1968 of voluntary manslaughter. (He claimed he was unconscious during the shooting, and his conviction was overturned in 1970.) Now Huey told Bert he was in trouble again. "Bert," Huey said, "you gotta help us."
Bert and Huey had been tight for a few years, ever since Bert started raising money for the Panthers in Hollywood. Bert was a macher, as he would say, a producer at the vanguard of the New Hollywood movement that had changed American cinema; his credits included Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces and The Last Picture Show, and he was working on Hearts and Minds, the Vietnam documentary for which he would win an Oscar. He had embraced the radical politics of the era, supporting activists including Abbie Hoffman, Daniel Ellsberg and the Black Panthers. He called Huey his "comrade and best friend."
"I'm in trouble," Huey said. Huey was always agitated—his intensity captivated Bert—but this was different. "You're the only one I can trust."
They went to Jeffrey's room, where Huey told Bert things were falling apart in Oakland, the Panthers' headquarters. Huey had been arrested for several crimes, including a murder charge. The police, he told Bert, were trying to frame him.
"They're sharpening the ax," Bert said.
Huey had been in prison before. "I'm not going back," he said.
Huey had to fly the coop, pronto, and not just out of town but out of the country. He told Bert, "I need you to get me to Cuba."
Bert figured Huey would be on the FBI's most wanted list by morning, but he didn't hesitate to help. Within five minutes, Bert was hatching a plan. His only question was "Were you followed?"
Bert looked out the window. The FBI had been interested in him for years. He was so actively involved in left-wing politics that at times field agents reported on Bert's movements every four hours. He would eventually see his own file, which described him as "tall, manly, wears long hair, mod clothing and has an outspoken nature"—just about right, Bert thought, except for the hair, which the FBI thought was dyed blond but was really a naturally sun-kissed corona of curls.
"I think we're clean," Huey said.
It was, in fact, the first time in months the FBI hadn't known Huey's whereabouts—but one of the first places the FBI would look was where they were standing. Bert wanted to get Huey and Huey's girlfriend, Gwen Fountaine, over to his producing partner Steve Blauner's house. He delegated the dirty work, asking Jeffrey to handle the drive. Bert stayed behind.
Jeffrey knew and liked Huey—but Jeffrey had only a learner's permit, so the teenage girl from Bert's bedroom took the wheel. They piled into Bert's BMW 3.0 coupe. Bert's young girlfriend was a skittish getaway driver, eyes in the rearview, looking for headlights. Jeffrey knew the hills, and he navigated a back route to Steve's home without drawing any attention.
The coupe pulled up the long, steep driveway to Steve's dramatic Bel Air house. The place was beautiful, redwood inside and out; it had been built for the Kim Novak film Strangers When We Meet. Huey walked into the forecourt, past the waterfall, between a pair of enormous Chinese Foo dogs.
"I didn't know I was having company," Steve said when he opened the door.
Steve too was close with Huey and had hosted him many times. Steve knew Huey was armed—Huey had become a household name by facing policemen on the streets of Oakland with shotguns—and demanded he turn over his weapon. "House rules," he said. "The pistol, please." Huey handed over his gun.
As soon as he found some privacy, Steve called Bert. "How are we gonna do this?" he asked.
"I'm working on it," Bert said.
This was the era of skyjacking—the favored mode of emigrating to Cuba by hijacking airliners and forcing them to land in Havana—but Huey thought that was too dangerous, not to mention déclassé for a revolutionary of his stature. Instead, Bert and Steve and a trusted core of their Hollywood cohorts would throw together an underground railroad and smuggle Huey to Cuba. It would turn into a big production but with real-life stakes. Like their films, this project had a title. Bert called it "The Big Cigar."
This is the kind of "social club" where you look both ways before you ring the buzzer to go inside and place bets with Jimmie Knuckles—and you better be good for it. Two teenagers—young Bert Schneider and Steve Blauner—arrive, clearly skipping school. They seem out of place but look comfortable as they nod at everyone while buying cigarettes and cruising for action.
Bert and Steve weren't always Hollywood honchos. They'd grown up together in Westchester County, New York, and although they were two Jewish kids from the tonier suburban zip codes—Bert in particular felt no shame in acknowledging the size of his silver spoon—they always had a nose for excitement. "From an early age," Steve recalls, "we were always in just over our heads."
In high school they liked to hang out at bookie joints, like the Italian American Social Club in White Plains. Steve was big for his age, a bit of a tough guy already. Bert was tall but skinny and couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag, so instead he projected extreme confidence. Sometimes they'd play cards in the back with bona fide wiseguys—Apples, Cootie, Willy the Whip—and when Bert would win a hand with a brazen bluff, Johnny the Gator would light a smoke and hand over the money: "Well, fellas, it looks like the calf got the butcher."
Bert liked that line, even though it was the kind of attitude that got him kicked out of Cornell in 1953. Bert was probably destined to go into the family business anyhow. His father, Abraham Schneider, was president of Columbia Pictures. Bert started working at Screen Gems, a television subsidiary of the studio, working his way up to vice president.
Steve, in the meantime, went into the music business. He wound up managing a young kid named Bobby Darin. Steve preferred standards but saw something in this rock-and-roll thing, and soon Bobby Darin was a star. They were making a killing, and Steve was staying at Sammy Davis Jr.'s house, palling around Vegas with Frank Sinatra.
In 1965 Bert formed his own production company with Bob Rafelson, a young director. Steve was already in Los Angeles, and the trio struck gold when they imagined a serialized Hard Day's Night for television and manufactured a boy band, the Monkees, for a TV show of the same name.
The Monkees were a cash cow. Because Steve knew the music business, he made sure Bert owned it all: the publishing, the appearances, the dolls, the whole kit and caboodle. The show was on for only two seasons, from 1966 to 1968, but it made a fortune—so much money that Bert wondered, What the fuck am I gonna do with it all?
"It's not just a biker movie," Dennis Hopper exclaimed, wide-eyed and wild. "It's gonna be the story of our time."
Hopper showed up in Bert's office one day with Peter Fonda. They had this idea about two bikers who score a big drug deal and take to the road. It was 1968. A lot had changed in the few years since Bert bought his house in Beverly Hills: the Summer of Love, Vietnam, Martin Luther King Jr., Bobby Kennedy. The Monkees were done. Bert wanted to be in the movie business. And here were Hopper and Fonda, grimy and stoned, asking for $360,000. Neither had ever directed or produced a movie before. Bert wrote a check on the spot.
The resulting film, Easy Rider, became a phenomenon. The anti-establishment portrayal of disaffection with American society touched a nerve when it appeared in 1969, the high-water mark of the counterculture. Easy Rider, a film that opens with a coke deal, was nominated for two Academy Awards, made Jack Nicholson a star and earned $35 million.
That's nearly 100 times the budget, an astonishing figure that led Columbia Pictures to give BBS Productions—Bert, Bob and Steve's company—an unprecedented six-picture deal for inexpensive, director-driven films. It was the late 1960s, when Hollywood was full of graying executives who were losing lots of money on big-budget flops like Hello, Dolly! and Paint Your Wagon. Easy Rider paved the way for a revolution in American cinema.
For Bert, the success was a middle finger at the establishment. He was admired, despised, revered and feared, sometimes by the same people. But everyone agreed he was a great producer. "Usually producers get in the way," says Peter Bogdanovich, director of The Last Picture Show. "But Bert was the opposite. He encouraged us to do something that we felt attached to as artists."
Creative integrity was paramount. The 1970s would turn out to be a miraculous (and brief) union between art and commerce, producing some of the great films of all time. The barbarians were inside the gates—and they were piling up money. It was the first time producers, directors and actors shared film profits, often earning millions. BBS moved from the Columbia lot at Sunset Boulevard and Gower Street to a building on La Brea Avenue that Bert bought and renovated to include a screening room, cutting room and, naturally, a cedar sauna. In Bert's office you could play billiards beneath a white Tiffany chandelier facing a picture window with a view of the Hollywood sign. From here Bert cultivated a reputation as the dynamic center of a glamorous and successful avant-garde. He was 36 years old.
Ever since summer camp, Steve had called Bert "Rulebook" Schneider because he always learned the rules—so he could break them. Now Steve sat down the hall from Bert as they upended Hollywood with their moneymaking masterpieces. Bert the rabble-rouser was also a brilliant businessman. "I always wanted to change the world," he said. "And make a few dollars in the process."
Friends sometimes joked that Bert was "king of the Jews," but when Bert plainly referred to his own Christ complex, he wasn't kidding. "I want to be like Jesus Christ," he'd say without apparent irony, "but with better participation."
Bert acted like a star. As Linda Weaver, his longtime secretary, put it, "Those big, blue Paul Newman eyes of his could be warm and friendly, or turn ice-cold.… He was pretty good at getting whatever he wanted." And he loved flaunting his ability to buck the system. "He'd fire up a joint in Columbia's executive offices," Steve says. "Just because he could."
When Bert first arrived in Los Angeles, he was relatively straight—he had come of age in the 1950s, had a wife, kids and a house in Westchester. But like so many East Coast Jewish boys heading west for the pictures, Bert changed. He let his hair grow long, grew a beard, exchanged his coat and tie for patterns and velvet and dove into the drug culture. He embraced the sexual revolution with gusto. The 1970s were like a second adolescence for him. He considered himself a sex object, as did most women. By early 1971 Bert was en route to divorce, moving from the flatlands to the hills, where the scene at his house often resembled the party at the end of Shampoo. On any given evening you might find Lauren Hutton, Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, in and out of the pool, mingling with guests who were high out of their minds and pontificating about the future of cinema while surrounded by starlets, including Bert's new girlfriend, Candice Bergen (whom everyone called Candy).
Bert's drug-fueled parties doubled as an active political salon. This was, after all, the springtide of radical chic. Whereas most people settle from zealous youth into cautious middle age, Bert did the opposite and turned revolutionary.

Amazing article...shocked that i didn't know this before...
mind blowing. thanks
i heard this article was being shopped around tinseltown in hopes of pulling another argo. all i've got to say is FUCK YES.
awesome story. Incredible

A couple of weeks ago, I saw hundreds of crows flying in the skies above Bluefield. My gut reaction wasn't fit for print, but my first coherent thought was "not again."
Last year about a thousand crows decided to turn the trees fringing the Daily Telegraph's parking lot into a nightly rest stop. We soon learned the term "mega roost."
The crows routinely relieved themselves on our vehicles, the asphalt and our new roof, and the resulting stench could turn your stomach. Their incessant calls echoed through the evening, but the creepiest moments were when the crows were pecking at our skylights. They were trying to find a way inside. It was a moment right out of Alfred Hitchcock's movie, "The Birds." Hitchcock used seagulls, but I would have tried to switch him over to crows. Seagulls make me think of vacations on the beach and good times, but crows don't have the feel-good baggage. They could have carried an evil aura the gulls just couldn't have matched.
Crows get a pretty bad rap in folklore and the movies, and the mega roost experience convinced me that they deserved every bit of it! One crow was literally working for the devil in the "Omen" horror movies; people visited by the crow tended to suddenly die in some horrible way. In a movie version of H.G. Wells novel "The War of the Worlds," crows followed the Martian tripod machines as they sprayed death rays at humanity. Then the crows pecked at the Martians as they died from common colds.
In the second "Lord of the Rings" movie, a flock of crows spotted the heroes trudging toward Mordor and rushed back to file a report with the evil wizard Saurman. They swirled around him and he immediately understood their message.
What surprised me later was the idea that the crow scene had an air of truth to it. Zoologists studying crows have learned that they are amazingly intelligent. They remember people who have harassed them and can actually describe these people to other crows. What Saurman had was a surveillance drone system that would be next to impossible to shoot down. He could have made a deal with the Pentagon. An enemy could shoot down an airplane, but bring down hundreds of crows? I doubt that would be easy.
It's chilling to think that when crows are calling overhead, they're talking about you.
This intelligence makes driving crows away a challenge. You can put up those plastic owls, but the crows will soon figure out that they're inanimate. Hanging up shiny objects such as metal strips or pots may work for a while, but the crows figure those out, too. I understand there are also balloons that help scare them away; the balloons are covered with pictures of eyes.
One of the most effective deterrents has been what I've dubbed a "squawk box." It emits a crow distress call at regular intervals. I think this call is made when a crow has been wounded by a predator; the noise alerts the rest of the flock.
Of course, you have to keep explaining this noise when visitors arrive in the parking lot. I remember one day when I encountered a visitor looking around with a puzzled expression on his face. The squawk box had just sounded off.
"Is that a duck?" he asked. I had to explain what was going on. I would rather do the explaining than go to the car wash and hose crow droppings off my car.
Another deterrent arrived last week. A red-tailed hawk found the roost and started picking off crows. Photographer Jon Bolt even shot a series of photos showing a hawk feasting on a crow. I hope the hawk enjoyed its dinner. We had to pick the picture carefully. The last thing we wanted was a hawk tearing out a crow's liver. That's not an image we want to give our readers when they're sitting down to breakfast.
According to Wendy Perrone of the Three Rivers Avian Center, red-tailed hawks and crows feud constantly. They like to roost in the same areas and they frequently harass each other. The birds will even steal each other's food.
The mega roost is gone from the Daily Telegraph now, but the crows have set up new airports around Bluefield. I'm just hoping they don't decided to give us another try. If I've learned anything about crows, they're survivors and they're persistent. I see them pecking at scraps and trash around restaurants, and doing clean-up duty along the highways when there is road kill to be found. In a show I watch occasionally, "Life After People," crows do very well when humanity isn't on the scene; however, I think their numbers would fall when they don't have trash and road kill to round out their diets. They have come to see humans as the managers of their grocery stores.
I'm not wishing the crow species any ill will, I just want them to respect our space and quit using our property as a toilet. I don't shoot at them — though I've had fantasies of owning a shotgun when I see them over my car — so I would like for them to show some restraint, too. Why can't they keep flying south for the winter? Maybe they can go to the beach and soak up some sunshine.
Maybe we can some day decipher the crows' language and come to some kind of agreement. If we could put them to work for us, imagine the possibilities. A felon fleeing through the countryside would never stand a chance if hundreds of crows flying overhead were scouting for him. They could just as easily find a lost child or a lost hiker. If I had a computer program that translated English into crow, my first message would be this: Can't we all just get along?

Dreams of harnessing the power of crows and turning evil into good
A couple of weeks ago, I saw hundreds of crows flying in the skies above Bluefield. My gut reaction wasn't fit for print, but my first coherent thought was "not again."

CUMBERLAND — A man was stabbed early Sunday morning after leaving a party at a Maryland Avenue residence, apparently after a dispute that began at the party.
Cumberland police were called just after midnight for reports of a loud party.
While police were on the scene, they saw a man being helped in the parking lot of the 7-Eleven convenience store.
The victim had a large amount of blood on his shirt, and when officers contacted the man and his friends, they learned that the 19-year-old victim had been stabbed several times during a fight.
Investigators with the Allegany County Combined Criminal Investigation Unit responded to assist with the investigation. The scene was processed for evidence by a crime scene technician with the Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division.
Police said interviews with witnesses showed that the victim had been at the party and he and several friends left the residence to return to the victim's vehicle, which was parked in the vicinity of Park and Emily streets.
After the victim and his friends got into their vehicle, another vehicle pulled in behind them.
A subject known to the victim and his friends got out of the vehicle and confronted the victim, said police.
The two started fighting and then two other people came out of the suspect's vehicle and joined in the attack on the victim. The three suspects started stabbing the victim. One of the suspects also displayed a handgun during the attack.
The suspects fled the scene as police arrived.
The victim was transported to the Western Maryland Regional Medical Center for treatment of four stab wounds: two in the back, one in the neck and one in the arm. The wounds were determined to be non-life threatening and the victim was treated and released.
Police said the suspect who originally attacked the victim was identified as 21-year-old Jamaal Anthony Linton of Baltimore.
Investigators learned that Linton had also gone to the hospital, but left after he was asked to check in. Investigators were told Linton had entered the emergency room of Sinai Hospital in Baltimore for treatment of a laceration to the hand. The Baltimore City Police were contacted and responded to the hospital where Linton was placed under arrest.
He was awaiting an initial appearance before a district court commissioner and will be returned to Allegany County to face charges.
The investigation by the Cumberland Police and C3I is continuing.

Plano's Zhate Jackson goes in for a lay up as Kaneland's Caroline Helmerdinger looks on during their Class 3A Regional game Wednesday evening in Burlington. | Michael R. Schmidt ~ For Sun-Times Media
Apparently Plainfield East wasn't satisfied with just a 10-point lead at halftime in Wednesday's Class 4A Lemont semifinal against West Aurora.
The Bengals scored the first nine points of the third quarter and outscored the Blackhawks 27-10 in the quarter to turn a nice lead into a full-on 62-34 rout.
Plainfield East (24-4) will face Romeoville on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. for the regional title.
"They played great defense and they frustrated us," West Aurora coach Connie Siljendahl said. "They really did a nice job of stopping us from doing what we wanted to do and we had a hard time controlling them."
West Aurora (10-16) started out strong, jumping to a quick 5-0 lead, but it was short-lived as the Bengals took the lead for good on a Faith Suggs three-pointer with 2:45 left in the opening quarter.
After watching Romeoville win in the opener, Plainfield East recognized that a potential fourth meeting with the Spartans was looming with a victory.
"We tried to keep preaching to them that if we don't get this game then we won't be playing again," Plainfield East coach Missy Mitidiero said. "I thought they did a great job of living in the moment, keeping their focus on this game."
The Blackhawks proved unable to match the speed and athleticism of the Bengals, which was no more apparent then the third quarter.
"We knew we had to come out with a lot of energy and close this thing out," Plainfield East senior Nikia Edom said. "Our game plan was to play tight defense and we seemed to get into the passing lanes and just came out better in the second half."
Suggs led the winners with 18 points while Edom added 12.
Abriya Zeitz scored 15 points to pace the Blackhawks while Alexis Wiggins added 10 points.
"We just ran out of gas tonight," Siljendahl said. "We had some opportunities in the beginning and we didn't take advantage of finding who was open or the mismatches. We just didn't move the ball like we needed to."

TheTimesTribune.com, Corbin, KY
By Ronnie Ellis
CNHI News Service
Republican U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell on Tuesday called the Affordable Care Act — or Obamacare — "a monstrosity," demanding its full repeal during a press conference he called specifically to talk about the law.
How specifically?
"I'm probably not going to be answering questions about anything else here," McConnell said. "I'd prefer the news of (the) day be what I'd like it to be rather than what you all may be interested in pursuing."
He stuck to script, answering most questions with a variation on a single theme: "This thing is a disaster for the country. It needs to be pulled out root and branch. It's a huge mistake – that's how I feel about it."
McConnell suggested reporters ask his likely Democratic opponent in next year's U.S. Senate election, Alison Lundergan Grimes, "are you for or against getting rid of this," adding he expects Grimes to follow the lead of such red state Democratic senators as Louisiana's Mary Landrieu.
"Whatever Mary Landrieu does, you can expect that my opponent will likely do either that day or the next day."
He said Democratic senators like Landrieu are "wringing their hands trying to figure out how to get away from this thing they all voted for."
Grimes is already on record about the law, saying she would extend the enrollment period and delay the individual mandate in light of problems with the federal enrollment website – but she would not repeal it.
Last month, she told CNHI News: "I have my concerns with the Affordable Care Act," but added, "Unlike Mitch McConnell I don't think you throw the entire act out." A spokeswoman for Grimes' campaign said Tuesday Grimes hasn't changed her positions on the ACA since the CNHI interview.
McConnell said the problems with the website represent just the tip of the iceberg of problems plaguing the new law. He said the law uses a combination of taxes on medical devices and insurance policies with cuts to Medicare which together amount to $1 trillion "in order to provide a subsidy to those currently uninsured who couldn't afford it."
He said Medicare was "raided" of $750 billion over 10 years. According to the AARP, which lobbies on behalf of seniors, and the Congressional Budget Office, the ACA reduces Medicare spending by $716 billion between 2013 and 2022 by ending over payments to private insurance companies for Medicare supplement plans and eliminating indigent care payments to hospitals for services to indigent patients who will now be covered by ACA policies or Medicaid.
McConnell was also asked about projections that the ACA has slowed the rate of increase in medical costs.
"I'm sure you can find some study to underscore your point of view," McConnell responded.
Studies by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the nonpartisan Kaiser Foundation indicate medical costs rose by the smallest amount in 2011 since 1960. The Kaiser Foundation study said health costs rose by 3.9 percent from 2009 to 2011; by 4 percent in 2012; and projects they will rise by 4 percent in 2013 – though the foundation expects 6 percent increases in the following years.
However, the foundation attributes part of the slower growth rate to the economic downturn and the ACA accounts for only some of it.
McConnell said he would prefer an incremental approach to reforming health care which he said is 16 percent of the national economy.
"What we could have done is rather than take a meat axe, to use a medical metaphor, is to pull out a scalpel and to work on the problems of the uninsured."
He would do that by allowing health insurance policies to be sold across state lines; allow small businesses to band together in a pool to negotiate lower premium rates; through medical liability reform – limiting jury awards in medical malpractice suits — and by creating high risk pools for those with pre-existing conditions.
He said Gov. Steve Beshear's decision to participate in the expanded Medicaid provisions of the ACA was "highly irresponsible," contending the law's guarantee to foot 90 percent of the costs of the expansion after paying 100 percent for the first three years won't hold up given the nation's debt.
McConnell said 280,000 Kentuckians have lost their insurance plans despite President Barack Obama's repeated promise that those who liked their plans could keep them.
Ronda Sloan, spokeswoman for the Kentucky Department of Insurance, said such "discontinuation" letters are neither unusual nor are they final cancellations.
"They are simply saying your current plan is being replaced with another plan that meets the requirements of the law and you are being transitioned to that plan," Sloan said.

Register-Herald Reporter
New River Community and Technical College is proceeding with plans for renovation of a building intended to be a fine arts and aquatic center, despite a pending legal case challenging the legality of Greenbrier County's $1.3 million contribution toward the project.
New River Board of Governors member David Nalker read a brief statement from the college's interim president, Dr. Merle Dempsey, during Tuesday evening's Greenbrier County Commission meeting. In the statement, Dempsey said the college is "proceeding as originally planned" on the building's renovation.
The structure in question is located on New River's Greenbrier Valley campus in Lewisburg, between Greenbrier Hall and the Greenbrier County Public Library. Until recently, it housed West Virginia Division of Highways offices.
New River's website refers to the ongoing renovation of the building, which will house not only fine arts classrooms, but also an allied health training center and a new student commons with a food service vendor.
Part of the funding for the renovation was provided by the Greenbrier County Commission, which late last year allocated $1.3 million in hotel/motel tax funds for the indoor pool in the structure, with an eye toward operating that portion of the facility as a public pool with paid memberships.
A group of county residents challenged that use of the bed tax money, however, and filed a petition for a writ of mandamus in November, asking the court to order the funds be returned and the contract with New River be voided.
That petition has since been revised, dropping reference to the contract and asking only that the court rule the commission voted on the allocation during illegal meetings and that the bed tax expenditure was improper.
In the most recent spate of filings in connection with the mandamus case, which is still pending in Greenbrier Circuit Court, the petitioners' attorney, Barry Bruce, put forth a motion to bifurcate the issue of whether the meetings were illegal from the issue of whether the expenditure was improper.
In the motion for separate trials for the two issues, Bruce maintains that the meetings question is "a procedural issue that should be decided prior to hearing the (bed tax expenditure) violation."
Responding on behalf of the county commission, attorney Richard A. Robb opposes the bifurcation on the grounds that "the meetings and subject matter of those meetings are intertwined to such extent, birfucation would constitute an abstract treatment of events as opposed to the circumstances in which they actually transpired."
Robb maintains that, because the matters at hand "occurred simultaneously... Treating them together as they occurred would... be convenient, expeditious and economical."
Bruce's motion was filed Feb. 6 and Robb's response March 12.
No further hearing has been set in the case, which is in the hands of senior status Circuit Judge Charles M. Vickers.

The Free Press
NORTH MANKATO — Lyle Pearson Sr. had great war-time stories to tell: A B-17 bomber pilot in World War II, he flew 50 combat missions until being shot down over Italy in 1944 and held as a prisoner of war until 1945.
He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Medal with Clusters and the Purple Heart.
Pearson spent much of the rest of his long life using his distinguished service and compelling stories as political capital to gain better services for veterans of all eras.
"You couldn't help but know Lyle if you were involved in veterans' issues," said Tom McLaughlin, a Vietnam veteran who learned from and worked with Pearson on lobbying for veterans.
Pearson died Friday at age 92.
"He was a really good family man — family meant a lot to him," said his son, Lyle Pearson Jr., one of seven children born to Pearson Sr. and his wife Katherine, who died a year ago.
Pearson said his father, born in Montevideo, came to Mankato after the war and lived in Lewis Field barracks near Sibley Park — a subsidized housing complex for returning vets.
The family moved to North Mankato in 1950. "My dad always joked that we moved into North Mankato in 1950 just in time for the big flood in 1951," Pearson Jr. said.
He was a county probation officer and eventually became chief of court services in Nicollet County, retiring in 1983.
In retirement, the couple traveled and spent time at their cabin on Duck Lake, but work on veterans issues, volunteerism and activity in the DFL party remained a high priority for Pearson.
McLaughlin, who often appeared with Pearson at school talks and in front of lawmakers or military officials, said Pearson had a ferocity in working for veterans.
"He was very forceful and strong in his beliefs. He went at it 100 percent," McLaughlin said. "And he knew what he was talking about. I think that's why he moved up the ranks and became the national commander of the DAV."
Pearson served as national commander of the Disabled American Veterans from 1975 to 1976.
Pearson was also one of just six American citizens who in 1974 was a guest of the Soviet Union to participate in the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the end of World War II. (Pearson's prison camp was liberated by Soviet troops.)
McLaughlin said Pearson didn't limit the scope of his lobbying work. "You have guys who just argue for specific veterans issues, or just something they're interested in. Lyle argued for all veterans' issues.
"He was a great model for me, he showed how to lobby and how to do it the right way."

The National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI) National Umbrella Cooperative Agreement (NUCA) Project will address the lack of resources and data for identifying health disparities in minority populations by updating, enhancing and disseminating the Tool for Health and Resilience in Vulnerable Environments (THRIVE) tool to NNPHI member organizations and affiliates who serve minority individuals and communities. This tool was developed to help people understand and prioritize the factors that can help improve health and safety within their own communities. NNPHI will partner with the Prevention Institute to update the THRIVE Toolkit, train THRIVE trainers of trainers (TOT), implement the THRIVE toolkit in 16 TOT-led sites, and disseminate the THRIVE initiative to address health disparities in minority communities. The intended outcomes include an updated THRIVE tool, which will help mitigate adverse social determinants of health within minority communities across the United States. In order to determine if such outcomes are reached, data will be collected using surveys and interviews to measure programmatic impact. Work plans, agendas, programs and administrative information will also be reviewed to measure program progress and efficacy.

— The new "fat-tire" bikes are especially made for snow and sandy beaches, but you don't need to shell out big bucks to ride your bike in the winter, cyclists said.
Winter biking isn't as cold as it looks if you dress appropriately and "layer up" on those days when polar winds and windchills kick thermometers to sub-zero levels.
Ross Hammersley, who bought a used biked for $50 on Craigslist this winter for winter riding, generally wears long johns, rain paints, T-shirt, a fleece and shell jacket, gloves, fleece hat and helmet. On extra cold days, he adds a balaclava under his helmet.
Andrew Cuchetti wears a hoodie and winter coat plus a military surplus neck and face scarf on cold days. This winter he picked up a pair of target practice goggles to raise visibility and protect his eyes from arctic winds.
Bike commuter Kate Redman wears a wind- and waterproof jacket, boots and often, a lined wool skirt or casual business suit over leggings on days she has to do courtroom work.
Many winter bicyclists, especially the commuters, use "beater" bikes because road salt, sand and weather are hard on both cycles and chains.
Here are some tips offered by local winter cycling enthusiasts and bike store owners.
- Ride on neighborhood streets and plowed alleys rather than busy thoroughfares. Don't try to ride on U.S. 31 north and south of town. Use sections of the TART Trail system that volunteers keep open.
- Both motorists and bicyclists need to remember that many roads lose shoulder space and bike lanes during plowing. Bicycles and cars have the same legal right to use the road. Know and follow state road rules.
- A fender over the back wheel helps protect your back from wet spray.
- Be visible and wear bright clothing or safety vests. Don't wear black. Ride defensively.
- Wear well insulated waterproof gloves or invest in "lobster gloves" attached to your handlebars.
- Warm boots are recommended.
For more information on the TART recreation trails or to learn how to volunteer or support the trails, visit traversetrails.org or call 941-4300.

Shawn was an amazing host. He showed us all the great eats in jaco and gave us great suggestions for tours. Would cone back in a heartbeat
Shawn was a great host! Everything was ready when we got there, and he provided plenty of extra towels and blankets for us. He even took the time to go over a map of the area with us and point out a bunch of restaurants and attractions to visit. Shawn made sure that our vacation was a great one!
Shawn was always willing to provide any little things we asked for (IE washcloths, beach chairs, restaurant go's and don't's). It's always comforting to travel to another country and feel secure w your choice of residence when the host is reliable and sincere. The condo itself had a beautiful swimming complex and was in an unbeatable location. We were right in everything.
Shawn is a really reliable and great person. Eventhough we didn't get to meet on this trip he provided a lot of excellent information and advice and his place was very comfortable, clean and in a secure complex. The condo is situated near the bus station in Jaco and close to all the main restaurants. And right near the beach. I definitely recommend it.
I had the most amazing trip in Costa Rica and Shawn, as a host played a big part. Even though, we only met briefly on our 1st day, Shawn was very helpful prior to our arrival with information and advice! He was very communicative throughout the entire prior from start to finish and even during our trip!! Shawn even provides you with an info pack full of great info and advice before your trip. From his info pack, we were able to book with the best tour company Costa Rica Vacation Tours (BTW is AWESOME!!) and book excursions according to Shawn's recommendations. Also, we followed his list of great coffee shops, grocery stores and restaurants and there were all TWO THUMBS UP! Shawn even hooked us up with a last minute surfing lesson with an awesome guy named Deyron ( ask for him if you choose to go surfing) and he was a great teacher and with such a big heart. We learned about Deyron that by paying it forward, he teaches kids wood work and how to rebuild old or broken surf boards and then he gives them to kids who can't afford them. He was a gem and by meeting him and others who just want to give back to the community (including Shawn himself) made out trip very worth it and even more memorable. Our visit to Costa Rica exceeded our expectations! Shawn's property is in a great location too! We're less than five minutes away from the beach. 2 minutes away from the best bakery with delicious empanadas and coconut bars, then grocery stores to grab any of your needs. We loved the soda shops that Shawn recommended. The condo was so cute and clean! It was enough space for us and we loved the pool and hot tub on property. It was really nice to have the property enclosed and with a security guard. As a host, Shawn relieved any nerves I've had before my trip and was able to answer all my questions. He was quick to respond to my emails and confirmed anything he had arranged for us prior to our trip. He's super friendly and was a pleasure to deal with as a host (oddly through only email mainly - but very helpful) When (not if) I return back to Jaco, I will definitely stay with Shawn again! Pura Vida!
The condo is a little older and hasn't been renovated recently but otherwise it has a decent amount of space and is fairly clean. It is good for an extended stay and I would probably stay there again. Shawn was super nice and super helpful. A great host. The location in Jaco is great and even the pool is pretty nice.
I cannot say enough about Shawn and the Paradise Condo! Shawn was a great host and went out of his way to make us feel welcome during our stay. Upon our arrival, Shawn came over and gave us great tips and suggestions for things to do during our stay. Make sure you check out the beautiful sunset he suggests! The location is perfect as well. It is a two minute walk from the beach and close to many restaurants and shops. It is in a gated community with a nice pool as well. Definitely a great place, location, and wonderful host! Pura Vida!
You definitely have to stay at Paradise Condo!
Shawn is an awesome host. Very professional, organized and friendly. When I booked the reservation, Shawn sent me quickly a confirmation email and a PDF explaining everything I had to know about transportation from the airport etc. When we arrived, he spent time to let us know the best things to do in the city, his favourite places etc. He even went further and when a play or something was going to happen, he would make sure we were aware.
The location of the condo is also perfect. 2 minutes walk from the beach, restaurants and shops. This is also really secure! The condo has everything you need and is really comfy.
I would definitely recommend staying there, you won't regret it! One of the best vacation in my life.
great place, Shawn was a great host, he gave us some good recommendations for places to go out and we had a great time there!
Shawn is an awesome host! The condo was clean, well kept and in a perfect location. Shawn did everything possible to add to an already great experience. He has great taste and his tips and suggestions were right on point. When I make it back to Jaco I will definitely be staying at his place again. Pura vida with Shawn for sure!

Gov. Jerry Brown and Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom and one other University of California regent voted against giving new UC Berkeley Chancellor Nicholas Dirks a $50,000 raise over what his predecessor made. Another person who gets it is UC Riverside President Timothy P. White, the incoming chancellor of the California State University system, who requested -- and got -- a 10 percent pay cut from the salary his predecessor makes, which the CSU board was prepared to give him. That's the "spirit of servant leadership" the governor was talking about. Too bad that more public employees and politicians don't get that.

The Express-Star
On June 7, I took my daughters, Allison and Breanna, to something I hoped would be one of those things they would cherish – something that could change their lives. I took my daughters to FLO Health and Fitness and got them started on the 2010 Ms. Fit Teen Challenge.
While I truly didn't know what to expect, I knew the idea behind the summer challenge – to teach the girls to love and appreciate themselves and to learn health and nutrition information – was something I wanted to be a part of and have my girls participate in.
The girls went in and, not knowing how many participants to expect, I was pleasantly surprised by 20-plus girls who arrived and enjoyed meeting each other and working out together following their grand tour of the facility.
These girls may not realize it now, but this could be the start of something good for each of them – something that will instill healthy habits to last them a lifetime.
So far, so good ... and I can't wait to see how things change and improve with all the girls between now and the end date, July 30.
I wonder if the girls will still be interested in something like this during the school year. As a parent, it is exciting, because you know what your child is capable of and you know this will be an awesome adventure – for the children and the parent.
Unfortunately for the boys, this teen challenge is only for school-age girls. It's too bad there isn't something similar for boys to do during the summer.

By the Lansing State Journal
---- — The dodging and weaving at the Capitol over Gov. Rick Snyder's proposals for raising $1.2 billion to improve Michigan's roads and bridges is disappointing. It's time for politicians and the Michiganders they represent to accept the fact that people pay for the roads one way or another.
Act now to raise enough revenue to bring the state's infrastructure to an acceptable level, or act later and be forced to raise even more revenue as even more miles of roads have been allowed to fall into even worse levels of disrepair.
Pay now, through gas taxes and registration fees, or pay now and later through the ever-increasing costs of vehicle repairs brought about by the potholes and ruts that will grace increasingly higher percentages of Michigan roadways going forward.
There's no question that Michiganders will bear the increased costs of bringing their roads up to par. And one reason those costs are so high now is that lawmakers have steadfastly avoided dealing with this problem for decades. Not since 1997 has the gas tax been raised. Occasional forays into addressing the problems gain some momentum, then invariably stall out as lawmakers refuse to commit to the necessary act of raising the money needed to pay for roads.
The longer Michigan delays, the higher the costs will be. That is a certainty. The prudent course is to act now, without delay, to set things on the right track.
The void is breathtaking.
Yes, there is some room to discuss the mix of revenue sources. What mix from vehicle fees, what mix from taxes and from what sort of taxes.
But while discussing, keep these facts top of mind:
- Michigan's roads are consistently ranked among the worst in the nation. The share of the state's roads rated in "poor" condition rose to 35 percent in 2011, up from 10 percent in 2004, according to the Michigan Transportation Asset Management Council.
- Poor condition of Michigan roads plays a part in up to one-third of the state's fatal or serious traffic accidents.
- Substandard roads may cost the average Michigan driver more than $500 a year in repair bills.
At some point all that adds up to a state that doesn't care about the damage it causes its economy by letting roads crumble. Or about the growing financial burden it places on future generations to fix those roads. It's time to find some courage and get this done.
