The Service Road
nytheatre.com q&a preview by Cory Einbinder
January 5, 2013
What is your job on this show?
video designer, puppet designer, prop designer, performer, and producer..
What is your show about?
A modern day Herculean saga that examines what it means to be of service and the true nature of forgiveness.
When did you know you wanted to work in the theater, and why?
When I was 7, somewhat by chance, I was cast as the Young King in Paramount Picture's "King of the Gypsies." This experience was really exciting but also confusing to me as a young boy. When I had returned to school after filming people began to treat me differently. I really wanted to stay away from the theater and performing; the only problem was, I was hooked! I wanted to work on more productions but also have some anonymity. Luckily, I found I enjoyed working behind the scenes equally, if not more, gratifying, especially when I can work in different visual mediums to tell the story. I have many different interests, from painting, drawing, and designing, to building puppets or interactive video systems. They all have a place in theater.
Who is more important in the theater: the actor, the playwright, or the director?
Oh, come on Martin, is this a trick question? Of course, you know that as the Artistic Director of a theater company dedicated to collaborating with professional artists of all disciplines, from fashion designers to scientists and blues musicians to illustrators, that my answer is going to be that all of them are equally important. That said, however, it is the production that is the most important, and we all—actor, playwright, director—are slaves to it.
Why did you want to write/direct/produce/act in/work on this show?
This production is very personal to me. My co-director (who is also my wife) and I are long time fans of Erin's as well as close friends, and so we commissioned her to write a piece for us. Erin consciously used her knowledge of us as artists, friends, and Brooklynites in writing the piece. Even the character of "The Big Headed Toddler" was inspired by our son Emmett. It's important to us to develop new works, to bring new plays to full production. Fortunately, we have been able to give this piece the attention and support it deserves by bringing in an amazing director like Meghan Finn and having such strong support from the residency program at The New York City College of Technology.
Which famous New Jerseyite would like your show the best: Snooki, Bruce Springsteen, Thomas Edison?
Hmmm…well I definitely think Thomas Edison would appreciate the production for the pure inventiveness of it. We have a video puppet that moves freely about the stage whose face is created by a tiny pico-projector imbedded in his head. To think, this started from Edison's creation of the first motion picture camera. We also have a mechanical device on stage that could rival an old Victrola. On the other hand, "The Boss" might get a kick out of it, 'cause The Show ROCKS!
Can theater bring about societal change? Why or why not?
I don't think it's any coincidence that when a fascist regime takes over - the theater makers and other artists are the first to be dispatched. We should be feared. Theater is a place where community can be built, history and culture can be preserved, and dissident voices can speak. And, even worse, (for them) it can be done with humor.

HARRISONBURG, Va., Feb. 14, 2012 - Georgia State made 21 of 24 free throws for a decisive advantage at the foul line and held off James Madison's late rally attempt to post a 67-64 Colonial Athletic Association men's basketball win Tuesday night at the JMU Convocation Center.
GSU won for the fourth time in its last five games to improve to 18-9 overall and 10-6 in the CAA. JMU dropped its third straight home contest to fall to 11-17 overall and 4-12 in the conference.
The Panthers entered the day ranked 292nd in the country for free throw percentage at .646. However, GSU converted 21-of-24 opportunities for the game, 18-of-20 in the second half and 9-of-10 in the final three minutes.
The hot shooting at the arc helped Georgia State withstand a late push by James Madison. The Panthers appeared to get a potential clinching shot on a three by Devonta White to make it 62-54 with 1:54 to go.
The Dukes refused to go quietly, however, as junior forward Andrey Semenov (St. Petersburg, Russia/Blue Ridge School) swished a deep three from the top at the 1:36 mark. After two free throws by GSU forward Eric Buckner, Semenov hit another three, his sixth of the game, to pull within four with 1:23 to go.
GSU gave the Dukes an opening when guard James Fields had one of the rare missed, hitting 1-of-2 attempts before JMU junior guard Devon Moore (Columbus, Ohio/Northland) banked a layup to make it 65-62 with 1:05 remaining.
Madison locked in on defense and rebounded Jihad Ali's jumper from the baseline, calling timeout with 28 seconds on the clock. Moore tried to penetrate the lane but lost the handle, and the Dukes never got a look at tying or cutting the deficit to one. White hit two final free throws and a layup by JMU junior guard A.J. Davis (Columbus, Ohio/Harmony Community) accounted for the final score of 67-64.
Ali filled the score sheet for the Panthers with 19 points on 7-for-12 shooting to go with nine rebounds, four assists and three steals. Altogether, four GSU players hit double figures as White added 13 points, Rashaad Richardon posted 12 and Josh Micheaux contributed 10 with five boards and three assists.
Semenov matched his season high with 22 points to go with a team high of six rebounds. He shot 6-for-8 from the arc to match his career high for three-point field goals. He is now 11-for-16 (69 percent) from the arc his last two games, 21-for-36 (58 percent) his last five games and 27-for- 48 (56 percent) his last eight games.
While Semenov posted his second 20-point game of the season, Davis collected his 10th with 20 points, five rebounds, five assists and three steals in a game-high 39 minutes. Moore added eight points and five assists for the Dukes.
GSU's free throw performance came from a well-rounded effort with six different players hitting at least two at the line. The showing at the stripe helped the Panthers overcome 29 percent shooting from the floor in the second half, including 2-for-8 from the arc. Georgia State shot 52 percent in the first half en route to building a 35-27 lead at intermission.
While GSU went cold from the field in the second half, the Dukes got hot, shooting at a 57 percent clip from the floor while hitting 6-of-9 from the arc. For the game, JMU shot 47 percent compared to 42 for GSU while going 10-for-22 (46 percent) from the arc. However, the Dukes went just 6-for-11 from the line to give the Panthers the ultimate advantage at the stripe.
The Panthers held an 11-point lead entering the final minute of the first half when JMU senior guard Humpty Hitchens (Chillicothe, Ohio/Chillicothe) hit a late three. The Dukes turned that into an 11-0 run spanning the halves as another Hitchens three tied it at 35-35 at the 16:47 mark.
GSU had the answer, though, as the visitors ripped off nine straight points of their own with a Buckner dunk, a three by Ali, two free throws by Fields and two more by Ali to make it 44-35 with 14:13 to go.
The Dukes got within a single possession twice with a three-point margin on a Semenov trey with 10:25 to go (48-45) and again on the Moore layup with one minute to go (65-62). However, JMU could cut it no closer at any point over the final 16 minutes.
JMU grabbed the early lead out of the gate with threes by Semenov and Davis plus a layup by Davis providing an early 8-2 advantage. However, GSU fought back to tie the score quickly at 10-10. The Panthers led 22-18 when a Swindle layup was followed by a Davis steal of the inbounds play and a tying layup.
GSU then upped the pressure and held the Dukes quiet for five minutes while registering 11 straight points for a 33-22 advantage with two minutes to go. A layup by Moore finally ended the run and a late three by Hitchens made it 35-27 at the half.
Davis had 12 in the half for the Dukes. Richardson had 12 for GSU while Ali added 10 and six boards. The Panthers shot 52 percent for the half.
JMU takes a brief hiatus from CAA play to participate in Sears BracketBusters weekend with a 2 p.m. game on Saturday at Detroit of the Horizon League.
NOTES: JMU fell to 5-7 all-time against GSU as the Panthers won for the five time in the last six meetings... in addition to the free throw advantage, GSU also forced 11 turnovers, leading to a 17-8 margin in points off turnovers... Eric Buckner finished with eight points, six rebounds and five blocks for the Panthers with 11 of his 94 blocks for the season coming in two games against JMU... Hitchens missed the final 13 and a half minutes of the game after falling hard on his shoulder on a fastbreak layup attempt... junior center Gene Swindle (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep) has had two of his top three scoring games of the season against GSU as he finished with six points after setting a career high with seven on Jan. 23 in Atlanta... despite its 11-17 record, JMU had been 4-1 in games decided by three points or less prior to Tuesday's game... JMU has now his at least six three-point fields in 24 of 28 games this season and is averaging 9.7 made threes per game over the last seven games... Moore moved into eighth place all-time at JMU with 299 career assists... Davis broke into the top 10 for steals in a season with 50 and needs just three to reach second and 13 to match the record of 63.

Yelpers give Matt Denny's Ale House Restaurant a 3.5-star average and 94% of Urbanspooners recommend it. Six Insider Pagers give it a four-star average:
The Golden Spur delivers delectable steak and seafood dishes directly to digesters in a charming, historic Route 66-inspired environment. Midday meals include the jumbo shrimp cocktail, served over Cajun slaw ($11.95), the baked french-onion soup, crusted with a gruyere-cheese crouton ($5.95, $1 for cheese), and the classic walk-around, its new-york steak strolling to tables amidst grilled sourdough, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and mayonnaise ($14.95). Or take a break from a long day translating baby talk by noshing evening eats such as frog legs breaded with Cajun-style cornmeal ($13.95), or end flavor strikes with the truffle-oil-splattered jumbo lobster ravioli ($16.95). Classic filets mignons come served in plain, peppercorn, cheese-stuffed, or bacon-wrapped varietals ($32.95 for 8 oz.), while the ahi tuna gets along swimmingly with its side of steamed white rice and vegetables ($18.95).
Even in the morning, Clearman's Steak 'n Stein Inn takes its name seriously. The brunch menu lists five cuts that form the centerpiece for steak-and-egg platters, and the steak lover's omelet comes filled with three: filet mignon, new york strip steak, and rib eye. As for the "steins," drafts of Hefeweizen and Stella Artois begin pouring as soon as the restaurant opens.
Evening heralds the arrival of the restaurant's romantic side. A circular fireplace warms a ring of plush crimson benches, and soft, amber lighting illuminates the dark wood and brick interior and its stained-glass windows. An open charcoal fire roasts steaks, fish, and chicken for ample entrees, from the 16-oz. boneless rib eye to the Australian lobster tail dinner. Combination dinners allow guests to sample both steak and seafood without taking their backyard grill on a fishing trip. Supper ends with carefully hand-fired desserts, such as crème brûlée cheesecake.
Shiloh's Restaurant's homestyle fare is born of the love and dedication of several generations of restaurateurs. The Hermann and Rodgers families have more than 50 years' experience in the kitchen, and although they're retired, entrepreneurial pros Grandma Ethel and Great-Grandma Gladys still oversee the recipe book to ensure quality.
Following these thoroughly scrutinized instructions, chefs cook up a well-rounded menu of all-day country breakfasts, meaty sandwiches, and pan-fried country steak. At tables, Shiloh's signature housemade rolls are always on hand to sop up leftover homestyle gravy and goulash. And to ensure that no mouth is left unfed, chefs also serve up their piping-hot comfort food to offices, parties, and the hungry families of vacationing grandmothers.
In Gaucho Grill's kitchen, juicy steaks and marinated poultry sizzle on grills, sending the rich aroma of Argentine cuisine drifting through the restaurant's rustic interior. Savory mushrooms and veggies garnish meats on intimate lamp-lit tables surrounded by knotty timber walls, rough slate arches, and lariat-hurling ranchers. Dulcet treats of flan, mousse, and crepes cap South American feasts with notes of sweetness, and glasses of fruit-packed Argentine wines tastefully complement choice selections from the grill.
Unique British GastroPub. Oak walls throughout; oak bar/log fire/piano lounge. Awards: Beef Wellington, Fish+Chips, Prime Rib. Full Bar, 7 days/wk

ERCP Preparation
How does a person prepare for ERCP?
The health care provider usually provides written instructions about how to prepare for ERCP.
The upper GI tract must be empty. Generally, no eating or drinking is allowed 8 hours before ERCP. Smoking and chewing gum are also prohibited during this time.
Patients should tell their health care provider about all health conditions they have, especially heart and lung problems, diabetes, and allergies. Patients should also tell their health care provider about all medications they take. Patients may be asked to temporarily stop taking medications that affect blood clotting or interact with sedatives, which are usually given during ERCP to help patients relax and stay comfortable.
Medications and vitamins that may be restricted before and after ERCP include
- nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil), and naproxen (Aleve)
- blood thinners
- high blood pressure medication
- diabetes medications
- antidepressants
- dietary supplements
Driving is not permitted for 12 to 24 hours after ERCP to allow the sedatives time to completely wear off. Before the appointment, patients should make plans for a ride home.

To promote an atmosphere conducive to a free quest for intellectual fulfillment, the administration, staff, students, and the faculty have the responsibility and the obligation to adhere to and to enforce the standards of the academic integrity policy as defined and outlined in the brochure Academic Integrity at Roanoke College. Before beginning their course work at Roanoke, students are required to make a written commitment to support this policy and to work fully with the campus community in sustaining the academic integrity of Roanoke College.
It must be recognized that there will be those individuals who willfully choose to violate the governing principles which this institution has adopted for the independent search for knowledge. When such violations are suspected, it is the duty of the institution's members to report those who are suspected of such acts. While striving to sustain a consistently high level of academic integrity, Roanoke College also strives to ensure due process to all who have been charged with academic integrity violations. No one person has the right to assume the enforcement of this policy; thus, each charged with a violation, as well as each bringing the charges, has the right to a full hearing. The Academic Integrity Council consists of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Administration, members of the faculty and professional staff appointed by the President, and student members elected annually by the student body. Members of the Council are chosen for Academic Integrity Panels and Academic Integrity Boards, which hear all cases involving charges of violations of academic integrity. Violations include cheating in any form; plagiarizing; lying in direct association with academic matters or during the process of an academic integrity hearing or investigation; impeding an investigation; denying access to academic materials; or other actions that violate student regulations or public statutes for the purpose of committing or supporting an academic integrity violation. Penalties, which vary according to the severity of the violation and the circumstances of the case, include the grade F in the course (the usual minimum penalty); the grade XF (academic integrity failure); and Academic Integrity Probation, Suspension, and Expulsion. The Academic Integrity at Roanoke College brochure should be consulted for complete details concerning the College's academic integrity system.
It is the responsibility of each student to become familiar with the regulations and procedures of the system immediately upon enrollment. To assist students in meeting this responsibility, all students are required to attend Academic Integrity sessions prior to the beginning of their first semester, the brochure. Academic Integrity at Roanoke College, is made available to all entering students (see link above), and all students must pass an Academic Integrity Quiz prior to registering for their second semester.

Taking Advantage of Your Time
by Greg Hartnett Jr.
Shopping for a computer is a unique experience. We live in an age where technological advances are occurring nearly every day, and it increasingly seems like today's breakthrough will be obsolete tomorrow. This thought crossed my mind last year, but it did not deter me from seeking out the best laptop available. As I shopped, I finally chose one that would meet all my needs, as well as unlock my full potential. I was confident that my productivity would increase tenfold once it arrived.
As I mentioned, this shopping experience occurred last year. At the time, I was excited about all of the new things I could do. There were untapped programs I planned to utilize on a daily basis, just because I could. And you know what happened? Two weeks after it arrived, I was back to using the same four programs I had always used.
When I reflect on this experience, I am reminded of how often we make great plans, but fail to follow through with them. I had imagined a million different things I would do with my new laptop, but at the end of the day nothing had changed. As an online student, allocating time properly is a daily challenge. We have tasks that we need to accomplish, and even more that we want to complete. Even on a good day this is nearly impossible. Yet the New Testament gives us a consistent reminder to be wise with our time, and to make the most of the time that we have (Ephesians 5:15-17; Colossians 4:5). The responsibility is on us to manage it well, because ultimately we will give account for how it was utilized.
With that in mind, I wanted to share some tips to help with daily time management. Online students have many responsibilities, and these tips can help give balance to a busy schedule. They can't add time to your day, but they can help you to be a good steward of the time you have.
- Put together a to-do list: It has been said that an elephant never forgets, but I don't know too many elephants. When you think of something that you need to do, write it down! Most smartphones have a notepad where you can type your list without worrying about losing it, but pen and paper work just fine as well.
- Prioritize: Once your list is compiled, you will need to determine which tasks get precedence. God and family should always come first, but after that you'll have some decisions to make. Discernment is vital in determining which tasks should be prioritized over others.
- Plan ahead: Think about your day and decide when you'll be able to complete certain tasks. Once you have a plan of action together, stick to it! If you neglect something in the morning, you'll end up playing catch-up the rest of the day. Determining a plan and sticking with it is a key component to managing your time wisely.
- Take advantage of the "moments": It's easy to throw away large chunks of your day a few minutes at a time. Take advantage of the moments that otherwise would be wasted. Going to the doctor's office for an appointment? Take a textbook with you and finish your reading in the waiting room. There are hundreds of examples of little moments throughout the day that can be used to your advantage if you resolve to stay productive.
- Keep a positive attitude: If you don't think you'll be able to get everything finished, odds are you won't. Hang in there; be encouraged, and take things one moment at a time! Focusing on the big picture can be overwhelming. Focus on the task at hand, and do it with excellence. Remember that no matter the task, you have been commissioned to "work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ." (Colossians 3:23-24)

Obama Double Standard: Protect Muslims, To "Hell" With Jews and Israel
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following statement is issued by Larry Klayman, founder of Freedom Watch:
Over a year ago, in late April-May, 2011, Palestinians posted Facebook pages that called for the destruction of Israel and the annihilation of Jews worldwide. These so called "Infitada pages" caused the death of some Israelis and fellow Jews around the world. At the time, when Facebook failed to take down the pages, the government of Israel formally called upon Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook to do so. However, citing freedom of speech protections, Zuckerberg and Facebook initially refused to do so and left the pages up for weeks, causing more harm to Jews and Israel.
During this period, President Barack Hussein Obama said nothing about this internet attack on Jews and Israel and did not call on Zuckerberg and Facebook to take down the pages. This is in contrast with the Obama White House's recent request to Google to take down from the internet the film produced by alias Sam Bacile, as well as what are trumped up charges, obviously instigated by the Obama Justice Department, that Bacile violated his parole. In this regard, Bacile was recently and not coincidentally filmed being arrested, obviously an event arranged or furthered by the Obama administration to try to placate Muslims. This arrest was broadcast worldwide for all Muslims to see.
On May 10, 2011, the founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, Larry Klayman, sued Zuckerberg and Facebook for its furthering threats against him, a Jew and a Zionist, by radical Muslims bent on harming and killing Jews. This case remains pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (Case No. 1:11 -CV-00874 -RBW).
"It is clear that when it comes to Muslims, President Obama is very protective, but when it comes to Jews and Israel he turns a blind eye. This, and a host of other actions, are why a large portion of Americans believe that Obama, whose father was Muslim, is in reality one as well. This conclusion regrettably helps explain Obama's weak response to Iran's efforts to build nuclear weapons to use against Israel, and Israel's conclusion that under Obama it has has lost its American ally and is now forced to act alone to remove this threat," stated Klayman (LarryKlayman.com).

Planned Parenthood Celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Statement from Ludwig P. Gaines, Esq., Director of African American Leadership and Engagement, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Regarding Martin Luther King Jr. Day:
Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) is proud to celebrate the remarkable life, mission, and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Just a few months ago, Planned Parenthood stood with the nation's civil rights leaders on the National Mall in Washington, DC, to commemorate the historic dedication of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. It was a proud day for our nation and a proud day for Planned Parenthood. We were, and continue to be, honored to share Dr. Kings message of universal access to quality, affordable health care as an urgent social, civil and human rights issue.
Dr. King spoke passionately about the need for equity in health care, and said in 1966, Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.
In 2012, inequities in access to quality health care and health disparities continue to disproportionately affect communities of color. The chronic rates of diabetes, stroke, heart disease, cancer, HIV, and higher death rates from these conditions are cause for great alarm. In the face of this, Planned Parenthood remains unwavering in its mission to provide quality, affordable care to communities nationwide, and our doors are open to everyone.
Planned Parenthood is opposed to racism and prejudice of any kind and is committed to ending the racial disparities in health care, including reproductive health care, that disproportionately affect African Americans, Latinos and so many others. Our services improve women's health. More than 90 percent of the health services provided at Planned Parenthood health centers are preventive, including lifesaving breast exams, Pap tests, contraception, and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections.
In 1966, Planned Parenthood presented Dr. King with the PPFA Margaret Sanger Award, the organizations highest honor, in recognition of his excellence and leadership in furthering reproductive health and rights. Despite the many gains in health care equity since that time, we again face unprecedented attacks on access to basic health care services. With so much at stake, we need to remember Dr. Kings dream of health care justice, and work to ensure that quality care is accessible and affordable for all.

Neighborhoods: Doral
Found a piece of clear plastic in my caprese salad!
Great place for parties! – We hosted a company event here last month. They provided us with linen table cloths and napkins, reserved a private room and provided ability to use the flat screen HDTVs to connect our laptop and play DVD. The servers were excellent, the food fresh, delicious and hot. We could not have been more pleased. Love this place!
Blew my mind. – This is one of the best restaurants Doral has to offer.
Went there for dinner with a few friends, and from the minute we walked in we were greeted by the friendly host and servers. Our server Vivian made us feel right at home and was always checking in on us. We ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer along with the Italian nachos which were delicious. We were told that the nachos were pasta chips instead of tortilla chips, and boy were they good. Other then that our entrees were all very good. We shared from each others plates and so glad we did because I cannot wait to go back. I was completely surprised when I found out they had been there for 6 years. Without a doubt an incredible restaurant with an amazing happy hour special,food, and service. I highly recommend it
Great experience – Defenetly a great place to go. In general this restaurant has a great staff. The service is prompt and their kitchen is very efficient. I was actually surprised on how fast I was served. We had Joel as a server and he was very helpfull. Explained to us all the offers, what the menu was about, their happy hour.....I have been going to Carinos for 1 year already and I see always familiar faces and great consistency.
Great Food, Great Drinks, Great Service!!! – Excellent Food, best Italian Food in Doral....or South Florida!!! Bartender, Ed, was very friendly and gave us his opinions on diffrent dishes and drinks! Highly recommened!!!
Just Right – My family and I stopped by Carino's Friday night, great service! My server David took care of all our needs. Food was extremely flavorful, ambiance was great, service was better. Great fist destination on your way out for an evening.
One of the nicest Italian Restaurants in Miami! – One of the nicest Italian Restaurants I have been to in Miami...Great service, ambience, food prepared just right, easy access parking, and no long waits! The staff can recommend great desserts!
I usually don't like to eat Italian food out...rarely tastes authentic. I am Italian and this cuisine is good! I eat there when in Miami. Bravo!!!
You poor poor people of Doral – I decided to torture myself a second time and head over to Carino's with my family. We originally had planned to eat at Basilico's(an EXCELLENT italian restaurant down the street), but it turned out that they only open for dinner on Saturdays. So, my brother mentioned Carino's and seemed pretty insistent..
The meal was complete garbage. I think they have Chef Boyardee doing the cooking. On top of that, it took about an hour to get the food out to us while there was barely anyone in the restaurant.
The icing on the cake...lunch for six with 4 glasses of wine... $173.
I will NEVER waste my time or money here again. The food is nowhere near authentic nor tasty in any way. Those of you giving rave reviews about their food have never had real italian and/or are lacking taste buds.
Great Italian food AND great service. – Even if I just have the soup and bread, everything is delicious, there. All their pasta dishes are tasty. And the bartender Christina is beautiful and friendly and takes good care of me. Love the Doral Carino's!
Fantastic Restaurant!!! – Awesome service. They really took care of us, and there is absolutly no better value for the money. Food & Service were excellent!!! Would definitely eat there again.

I worked at Pier 1 Imports full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – professional, knowledgeable employees
freedom with creativity
awesome and inspiring merchandise
Cons – highly concentrated mostly female environment which can be catty and petty
difficult time with competitive wages for employees apart from management
Advice to Senior Management – Work with your staff to earn their respect, loyalty, and trust. Don't be afraid to develop them and make them as good as you are it will pay off for everyone in the long run. Reach out to your customer base and be honest with them. They will reward you with their loyalty when you go the extra mile.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

State sets health insurance ratesBy Bob Kinzel
Vermont Public Radio | July 09,2013For the first time, the Green Mountain Care Board has set rates for Vermonts new health care exchange. In doing so the board stressed that the rates will remain close to current levels.
Board Chairwoman Anya Rader Wallack said the proposed rates for Blue Cross Blue Shield were reduced by just more than 4 percent. The board cut the rates proposed by MVP by roughly 5 percent.
Rader Wallack says a benchmark single person Silver plan offered by Blue Cross will cost about $4,700 per year, but she says federal subsidies could substantially reduce the premium for individuals who make less than $45,000 a year, or for couples who make less than $60,000.
Hopefully through the reductions that weve ordered and more significantly the tax credits that will come to Vermonters through the exchange both from the federal government and state government, the premiums will be more affordable, said Rader Wallack.
She said the board reduced the proposed rates because it found that both companies wanted to put too much money into their reserve accounts and also because the insurers projected higher use of the system by those enrolled in the exchange.
Beginning in January, all individuals and businesses with fewer than 50 employees will be required to obtain insurance through the exchange, known as Vermont Health Connect.
Rader Wallack doesnt think consumers will experience rate shock when the change occurs.
Theres a wider range in todays market of both products and prices, said Rader Wallack. But the level of premiums for roughly equivalent coverage to what will be offered through the Exchange is comparable.
Blue Cross Vice President Kevin Goddard said he was disappointed by the rate reduction but he says Blue Cross is ready to move on.
This is their judgment. Our judgment would be that we need a couple of points higher than that to have adequate rates, said Goddard. But at the end of the day, frankly after all the work, were just looking forward to getting on now with the transition of thousands of thousands of people into this new way of purchasing health insurance.
Currently, Blue Cross and MVP are the only two companies offering insurance products through the exchange.
An application by a third group, the Vermont Health CO-OP, was initially rejected by state regulators but the CO-OP is hoping that the state will reconsider their application based on new information.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Three Vermont ski areas at least partially located in the Green Mountain National...

Note: Not for use in tubular magazines.
Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Theodore Good Purchase Good bullets for medium to heavy weight game.., and medium speeds. Polymer tip makes them aerodynamic, and do not flatten under recoil in the magazine. October 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by eagle These are BAD bullets! These bullets are bad! They group extremely well; I average 1/2" groups at 100 yards with my 300WSM. I shoot the 165 grain and they are devastating on deer and elk alike. They penetrate well and have excellent weight retention. I front shoulder shot a nice bull a few years ago at 150 yards and the ball went all the way through. The elk dropped in his tracks. You won't go wrong loading these bullets. February 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Huntinhard08 Excellent bullet Bang-flop....time after time with this bullet. Great accuracy and ballistic coefficient. Devastating terminal performance under any circumstance. Highly Recommend to any big game hunter. January 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nssashooter 280 reloads This bullet has proven to be an instant whitetail stopper when used in my 280 cal rifles. Having retrieved four bullets from harvested deer, I averaged 97.4 grains of retained weight. Excellent mushrooming without major damaging of the meat. Highly recommend this for any hooved NA big game or African plains animals. December 19, 2012

Summary of The Kid Summary of The Kid Reviews for The Kid An Excerpt from The Kid
Dan Savage's nationally syndicated sex advice column, "Savage Love," enrages and excites more than four million people each week. In The Kid, Savage tells a no-holds-barred, high-energy story of an ordinary American couple who wants to have a baby. Except that in this case the couple happens to be Dan and his boyfriend. That fact, in the face of a society enormously uneasy with gay adoption, makes for an edgy, entertaining, and illuminating read. When Dan and his boyfriend are finally presented with an infant badly in need of parenting, they find themselves caught up in a drama that extends well beyond the confines of their immediate world. A story about confronting homophobia, falling in love, getting older, and getting a little bit smarter, The Kid is a book about the very human desire to have a family.

We're racing toward self-destruction as a species, all well and good, but do we have to take the whales, dolphins, polar bears, tigers, redwoods, salmon runs, cranes, the few preindustrial societies who aren't part of the problem, and everything else beautiful, unique, irreplaceable, with us?
Are we living out a death wish for ourselves and the planet? The media calls catastrophes like the BP Gulf oil spill accidents, but in reality they are built into the system.
Go just about anywhere in the world where they're drilling for oil, or gas, mining coal or uranium, or extracting any other kind of non-renewable energy resource – the jungles of Ecuador, the coast of Nigeria, the Arctic, the Navajo reservation, the ranchlands of the Great Plains or south of San Antonio – and you'll find that the environment has been trashed. It's as if it's an inevitable part of the so-called development process.
Do energy companies operate this way to save money and maximize profits, or do they hate the natural world? I suspect it's a combination of the two. Talk to hunting guides or bush pilots in Alaska, and they'll tell you that a huge proportion of their customers are oil company executive types from Texas and Oklahoma, who shoot wolves from the air, slaughter Kodiak Island grizzlies just for the trophies. And when they're not in Alaska gunning down lions, wildebeests and the like at "game farms" where the animals can be shot easily at point-blank range…
We will never have enough energy, no matter how much of the Earth we despoil searching for it. The lights in our empty cities burn all night long for no reason.
Crabby old Republicans now drive 60-foot-long mega-RVs, which would have been unthinkable three or four years ago. And don't forget the soaring population, and the newly "empowered" middle classes in India and China who all want cars even if there is no road system to drive them on.
We are the terminal Potlatchers of all time, extreme versions of the Pacific Coast Indians who showed off by giving bigger and bigger feasts and gifting rituals, until out of desperation to outdo each other, they began burning up gallons of salmon oil and killing slaves in front of their guests to show they could afford to.
So what did I give thanks for? Those few brave expressions of hope that are beginning to appear. The courageous young people who founded the Arab Spring movements. The "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrators and their cousins all across the country (I heard on the news that an "Occupy Grand Junction" group took on the Black Friday shopping disgust-a-thon). The splinter Christian and Shi'a environmentalist groups, who demand that we respect and nurture all of Creation….
A few years ago the FBI announced that the worst threat to America wasn't religious terrorism, but rather the environmental movement, groups like PETA, Earth First and the like. Make no mistake about it, if you want the planet to survive, you are the Enemy of the fat cat thieves and vandals who currently run the show. And you are very much alone. The media, including the so-called liberal New York Times, have attacked the "Occupy Wall Street" movement since Day One. Their goal, and that of the network TV "news analysts," is to marginalize the protestors, in the old "hippies vs. hardhats" mold.
They are careful to avoid talking about what triggered the movement: the massive fraud among the super-rich on Wall Street, their virtual takeover of both political parties and the subsequent victimization of millions of homeowners, the meltdown of the banking system, and the reimbursement of the super-rich with the tax dollars of regular folks like you and me, so they could recommence awarding each other multimillion-dollar bonuses, receiving golden parachutes for looting and mismanaging companies to death, and lavishing benjamins on lap dancers, coke dealers and appallingly bad New York "artists," while the Justice Department sits by smiling benignly.
Meanwhile the propaganda campaign rolls on. The Denver Post headed a story on the Occupy demonstrations there with an outraged headline about how expensive it had been for the police to brutalize peaceful protestors. An AP female reporter described the Berkeley police "nudging" picketers with their billy clubs, while footage clearly showed the cops whacking away like they were Indian cops on a lathi-charge through a Moslem neighborhood. Liars, liars everywhere, the best money can buy.
The Republicans yawp about "class warfare;" there probably should be class warfare in America. Sign me up and give me my old M-16 and Beretta; or better, begin the mass jailing of the kleptomaniacal financial goniffs and their shills in politics and the press.
Meanwhile, I keep awaiting for the real Barack Obama to escape from wherever he's been held since he was kidnapped immediately after the victory rally in that Chicago park. It will be a great scene: the body-double Manchurian Obama holding a press conference on how oil drilling in the Gulf must increase, and suddenly there's a gasp from the Secret Service, aides, cameramen and reporters as the real President appears, a bit disheveled but unhurt. How to tell the real from the fake? They compete in a game of H-O-R-S-E on the nearest basketball court, and the phony President loses 5-0. He is led away in handcuffs, the real Obama announces that he is purging the Justice Department and appointing Bernie Sanders Attorney General, and the great Wall Street Arrests of 2012 begin.

A former condominium complex manager charged with stealing and hoarding thousands of dollars in electronics and jewelry, as well as odd items such as toilet paper and pool supplies, was sentenced to 18 months in prison Tuesday.
Robert Adamczewski, 65, who worked as a manager of Meridian Club Condominium, pleaded no contest in February to six charges of burglary, theft and dealing in stolen property. His sentencing, which included eight years of probation and a psychiatric evaluation, had been delayed for health reasons.
Adamczewski, who said after his arrest he has obsessive compulsive disorder, was found by Naples police with hundreds of items organized in bins throughout his garage. The goods included everything from jewelry to tissues to cans of insect killer to massive amounts of pornography. Detectives described Adamczewski as a hoarder.
Adamczewski was linked to at least eight burglaries at the time of his arrest. He also pawned several pieces of expensive jewelry, officers said.

Caribbean Track fans need live feed of NCAA Indoors!!!!
Main message board: for the discussion of topical track & field items only.

Caribbean Track fans need live feed of NCAA Indoors!!!!
I find it rather unfair that ESPN 3 is the only medium in which the NCAA Indoor track and field championships could be viewed live. The Caribbean track fans are at a disadvantage as ESPN 3 could only be viewed by residence of the US who have the required cable subscription. Myself as an avid track fan and many other Caribbean fanatics would more than welcome the opportunity to view such a meet live even if it requires just a subscription fee.
Re: Caribbean Track fans need live feed of NCAA Indoors!!!!
when did fairness ever have anything to do with what commercial TV networks offer?
Re: Caribbean Track fans need live feed of NCAA Indoors!!!!
That was my reaction, too.
Re: Caribbean Track fans need live feed of NCAA Indoors!!!!
Live just isn't what it used to be, huh? Is there no other way that it can be viewed live? Granted Fayetteville has a crappy airport, and who wants to smell pigs (I thought the pig sooey thing was just made up! there are really pigs there, and they stink ), and Rogers reminds me of Omaha (come to think of it, so does the airport), and you probably have to fly a small plane or take unnecessary but necessary connecting flights. And, then you probably have to purchase a ticket, which only goes towards benefit of the sport and you probably have to sit on a harder seat than the one in your office or home.
Those sorry basketball fans don't realize how bad they have it. For their championships they MUST play in a domed stadium, usually seating over 40,000+ people. in 2014 it will be in 100,000 seat Cowboy Stadium. They're so stupid! Didn't they know that you don't have to have people there, you just have to watch the feed. And, then if it's a Bowl game in football the champs are played in a stadium that seats over 60,000 and sometimes there isn't even a roof. Those luddites. haha.
But track and field has real fans who can complain about horrible TV coverage or non-existent internet streaming feeds and take solace in the fact that we're so much smarter and better than those other sports that actually pack their stadiums while our stadiums for our biggest events go empty or half empty empty (Osaka, Beijing, Paris, Rome...). Maybe one day the USA can host a virtual World Championships since interested parties feel they're required to attend - without actually being there...live.
Isn't it great that we have fans like this who are willing to pay a subscription fee rather than go to the event?
Re: Caribbean Track fans need live feed of NCAA Indoors!!!!
Why is it unfair? Do you get a live feed in the Caribbean for the European Champs, the Russian champs? I wasn't aware that the NCAA was a Caribbean based organisation.
As I imagine GH was hinting at, if there was any money to be made doing a live screen into the Caribbean I am sure ESPN 3 would give you a live feed. But as batonlessrelay says if you truly want live then jump on an aeroplane and hold on to your nose when you land.
Re: Caribbean Track fans need live feed of NCAA Indoors!!!!
t is why I am flying back home from Ft. Lauderdale on Aug 10. Have to make sure I see the WC m100m final LIVE.
Re: Caribbean Track fans need live feed of NCAA Indoors!!!!
I definitely understand you're frustration. Starboy. That's exactly how I feel about not having access to the Carifta games. You guys atleast get Carifta games and the Jamaicans get Champs as well on live tv. I would rather have that that internet streams of NCAA indoors, but its a fair trade off. For the NCAA outdoors, you can order dvds off of Amazon

Are random drug tests for state employees constitutional?by Opinion Staff
An attempt by Gov. Scott and the Florida Legislature to subject state employees to random drug tests was blocked last week by a federal judge who ruled the policy unconstitutional.
The Miami judge wrote that government drug tests are typically considered an unreasonable search banned by the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. In order for them to hold up legally, the government has to demonstrate a specific and urgent need for the drug tests.
Gov. Scott's attorneys argued that the drug tests were necessary as a safety measure to ensure a drug-free workforce and that the invasion on workers' privacy was not unreasonable because drug tests are common in the private sector.
But the judge rejected that reasoning, saying that broad concerns about a drug-free workplace are not urgent enough to permit the state to subject its employees to drug tests.
