Prior authorization and formulary exception form (PDF)
This form is also called the "Minnesota Uniform Form for Prescription Drug Prior Authorization Requests & Formulary Exceptions." Your doctor must complete and submit this form. Your doctor can also get this form by calling provider services at (651) 662-5200 or 1-800-262-0820.
Request for prescription drug coverage exception
You or your doctor can complete this online form to start Formulary Exception, Prior Authorization, Quantity Limit override, or Step Therapy authorization request.
Prescription drug claim form
Complete and mail this form to be reimbursed for a prescription.
Quantity limits and step therapy programs may be on preferred and non-preferred drugs. Refer to the quantity limit drug list and step therapy drug list available on bluecrossmn.com.
Yes, you can provide your doctor with a physician fax form so that he/she can send your prescription directly to the mail service pharmacy for you.
Prescriptions faxed for controlled substances will not be processed. You must mail the original prescription signed by your doctor to the mail service pharmacy. For more information about receiving your prescriptions through a mail service, refer to the topic PrimeMail prescription delivery service.
An independent group of pharmacists and doctors, called the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, reviews available drugs on an ongoing basis and then selects those considered "best choices." They review scientific literature and reports, consult with other health care professionals and use their own expertise to make decisions.
Before a drug is included in the drug list, it must pass a strict review by the committee, based on these criteria:
Lower-cost drugs are preferred. Often, there are many drugs available to treat the same condition. In some cases, two drugs are the same in effectiveness and safety. In this case, the drug included on the drug list will be the lower-cost drug. Blue Cross negotiates discounts on behalf of our members. We pass these savings on to you by holding down drug coverage costs.
Remember, not all benefit plans are subject to the drug list. Check your plan's certificate of coverage or other plan information for benefit details.
It will take approximately five to ten business days to complete the evaluation process.
Check your plan's certificate of coverage or other plan information for benefit details.
You will not be able to obtain the balance of your original prescription. Regulations prohibit a pharmacist from resubmitting a prescription for a narcotic to allow the fill of the original amount. Therefore, once a quantity limit override is approved, you will have to get a new prescription written by your physician and bring it to the pharmacy to be filled.
As long as your PA has not expired, a new PA request form is not needed. If your doctor feels your current drug is the most appropriate for you then a Step Therapy Authorization form must be submitted and approved by Blue Cross.
You will be reimbursed minus your applicable copay. Please contact Customer Service at the number provided on your Blue Cross member identification card for instructions on how to submit this claim for reimbursement.
An electronic override is established in the claims system allowing coverage at your next visit to the pharmacy.
You may purchase the drug at your own expense. (Note: Public Programs members are not able to pay cash for their medication.)
A drug list, also called a formulary, is a list of generic and brand-name drugs covered by a health plan. Although a drug may be on the Blue Cross drug list, it might not be covered under your plan. Review your plan's certificate of coverage or other plan materials for details on your benefits.
A generic drug is manufactured and sold by a company other than the company that originally made it. For example, the company that developed acetaminophen gave it the brand name Tylenol. When the patent expired, other companies started to make the generic version. Although generic drugs are chemically the same as brand-name drugs, they are typically sold for much less money than the brand-name drug.
Not all brand-name drugs have a generic version available. That's why it's important to ask your doctor. If there is a generic available, your doctor can prescribe it instead of the brand-name drug. Sometimes your doctor may feel the brand-name drug is the most appropriate for you. Talk with your doctor to find out what's best for you.
For more information about generic drugs, refer to our health and wellness resources.
If you choose to get a brand-name drug when an equivalent generic drug is available, you also have to pay the difference in cost between the brand-name and the generic drug and any coinsurance and/or deductible that applies. When you reach your out-of-pocket maximum, you would still pay the difference in cost between the brand-name and the generic drug, even though you are no longer responsible for coinsurance and deductible.
Sometimes the exact same drug is sold using different names. This can happen with branded or generic drugs. A drug company may decide to label a drug with only the generic name, even if they did not seek FDA approval for the drug as a generic. This means even though the drug may have a generic name, it is not recognized as a generic and will not be covered as one. Generally speaking, these products are not on our formulary or we may decide to cover only one of the versions.
Ask your doctor if you have questions or concerns about drugs you are taking. He or she can tell you what is most appropriate for you.
If you have questions about your drug benefits, call customer service at the number on the back of your member ID card.
Certain drugs have quantity limits to encourage appropriate drug use, enhance drug therapy and reduce costs.

What is Bell's Palsy?
Bell's Palsy is a neurological disorder that causes the facial muscles on one side of the face to suddenly weaken or become paralyzed. The muscles that close the eye control the tear glands, as well as control one of the salivary glands and the taste buds in front of the tongue are all controlled by the facial nerve. When damage or trauma is caused to the facial nerve, it usually only affects one side of the face.
The electrochemical signals sent from the brain to these muscles travel along the facial nerve. If the facial nerve is disrupted, no signals can get through to these muscles and, depending on how many of the nerve fibers within the facial nerve are involved, the affected half of the face experiences muscle weakness or paralysis and this is what is known as Bell's Palsy.
People with Bell's Palsy experience an interference with normal facial actions and functions such as closing the eye, eating, smiling and their speech may also be slurred. Other symptoms which are present include tearing of the eye, loss of taste, slurred speech, sensitivity to sound, facial paralysis and drooling. This condition occurs suddenly, and usually peaks within 48 hours.
People often think that they are experiencing a stroke, and are not familiar with the milder symptoms of Bell's Palsy that often precede the involvement of the facial muscles.
Bell's Palsy affects about 40,000 people in the United States every year. Bell's Palsy is more common in young adults, the elderly, diabetics and pregnant women. Children are not immune to it but they do tend to recover extremely well. Generally there are no other medical risks associated with this condition but developing Bell's Palsy during pregnancy may be associated with the development of pre-eclampsia.
What are the Symptoms of Bell's Palsy?
The symptoms of Bell's Palsy tend to progress very quickly. The symptoms are often not recognizable at first but will develop over a period of a few days. The warning signs are usually neck pain, pain behind the ear or pain in the back of the head.
Common Symptoms of Bell's Palsy
- Anxiety
- Sore Throat
- Muscle Spasms
- Facial pain or cramping and twitching or tingling on face
- Vertigo or Dizziness
- Slurred speech
- Excessive Eye Tearing
- Eye Strain
- Facial Sagging such as a Drooping mouth or an overall droopy appearance
- Jaw Tension and Pain
- Facial muscle weakness or paralysis of the muscles
- Drooling
- Nose is constantly stuffed or nose runs
- Changes in the amount of tears and saliva your body produces
- Impossible or difficult to blink
- Dry mouth, loss of taste, and diminished or distorted taste
- Headache
- Hypersensitivity to sound (hyperacusis)
- Hearing loss
- Pain in or near the ear
- Difficulty eating and drinking
- Excess or reduced salivation
- Sudden onset of paralysis or weakness on one side of your face, making it difficult to smile or close your eye on the affected side
- The affected half of the face is usually flat and expressionless but it is not uncommon for patients to complain about the unaffected side of the face, saying that it feels twisted or uncomfortable.
- Facial swelling, e.g., forehead wrinkles disappear

What Causes Bell's Palsy?
Though the exact causes of Bell's Palsy are not known, the condition is thought to be brought upon due to inflammation and swelling of the facial nerve. This in turn could be due to:
- Facial Nerve Damage
- Flying
- Lyme Disease caused by Insect Bites
- Chemotherapy
- Traumatic injury to the face or head (such as a skull fracture)
- Myasthenia gravis or tuberculosis
- Viral infections such as herpes, mumps, influenza, a cold, infectious mononucleosis or HIV
- Bacterial infections such as Tuberculosis
- Multiple sclerosis
- Guillain-Barre Syndrome
- Chronic disease such as diabetes
- Tumor causing nerve compression
- Stress
- Pregnancy
Bell's Palsy in Infant & Children
The appearance of Bell's Palsy in infants is very rare, however the onset of Bell's Palsy is believed to be the result of pressure on a facial nerves while a newborn is passing through the birth canal. This is especially true if forceps were used during childbirth. In this case, the condition remedies itself usually within a couple weeks. Bell's Palsy is easy to diagnose in an infant, when a newborn starts to cry the paralyzed side of the face will remain still.
Bell's Palsy occurring in older children is more common and usually occurs within one to two weeks of a viral infection. Viral infections such as Herpes Simplex 1, Epstein- Barr and Lyme disease are known as the two major culprits for Bell's Palsy. The occurrence of Bell's Palsy is said to be the result of an allergic reaction to one of these viruses.
Bell's Palsy During Pregnancy
Bell's Palsy is more common in women who are pregnant than not pregnant. Bell's palsy is associated with preeclampsia, a form of toxemia which causes high blood pressure and swollen ankles in the advanced stages of pregnancy. While Bell's Palsy causes no immediate risk for mother or child, preeclampsia is a serious condition and must be watched carefully by a physician.
Alternatively, some women suffer from Bell's Palsy right after childbirth, this is due to the extreme physical and emotional stress of labor and the condition usually remedies itself within a couple weeks. New mothers should feel no other side effects other than facial pain and paralysis, and will be able to perform motherly duties including breastfeeding. If medication is the treatment option for Bell's Palsy, it is important to make sure the medication isn't passed through breast milk.
Diagnosing Bell's Palsy
The diagnosis of Bell's Palsy is determined by the patient's medical history, a thorough physical examination and laboratory tests. Tests for diabetes, Lyme disease, myasthenia gravis, sarcoidosis, cancer, facial tumors, AIDS and Guillain Barre might also be performed to rule out other conditions that may cause facial paralysis.
Common Tests Used in Diagnosis
- MRI Scan (magnetic resonance imaging) and CT Scan (computerized tomography)
These imaging tests are used to determine tumors, bone fractures, infections or abnormalities around the facial nerve.
- Hearing and Balance Tests
The tests are able to assess if there is any injury to the inner ear and if the nerve responsible for hearing is damaged. It is also able to determine the eye's ability to produce tears and whether the sense of taste functions.
- EMG (Electromyography)
The injury is assessed by stimulating the facial nerve electrically, and can also determine the progression and extent of the injury.
Treatments for Bell's Palsy
In mild cases of Bell's Palsy, treatment is not actually required, and the nerve will heal by itself in due course. However, more severe cases of this condition require treatment. Various types of treatments such as conventional medicine, complementary and natural therapy may be effective if integrated into a broader treatment plan.
Using Conventional Medicines for Treatment
- Anti-viral drugs (such as acyclovir) may treat the herpes viruses if this is one of the suspected causes of Bell's Palsy and facial nerve damage or inflammation.
- Corticosteroids, such as prednisone, are used to reduce swelling and inflammation of the facial nerve and prevent any possible ot further facial nerve damage.
- A Vitamin B12 injection can protect the nerves and reduce nerve inflammation
- Botulinum toxin (Botox) can be injected into the upper eyelid to protect the eye and also to reduce facial spasm.
- If facial nerve damage occurs, surgical treatments such as facial nerve repair, nerve substitution and muscle transposition may be needed if the condition does not improve or remit, in order to reduce distortion of the facial features and restore function.
- A surgical procedure called tarsorrhaphy may improve eyelid closure.
- Plastic surgery may be performed to improve permanent facial drooping.
Other Therapies for Bell's Palsy
- Physiotherapy
- Acupuncture
- Massage
- Facial exercises
Massage Therapy for Bell's Palsy
A twenty minute face massage should be a daily routine for those suffering with Bell's Palsy. A face massage can help to keep the paralyzed area of the face stimulated plus soothe any pain associated with the condition.
Using a circular motion, work down from just above the eyebrows the chin, paying special attention to the area right below the cheekbone. Preferably massaging exercises should be done at least twice a day, once in the morning and once at night.
Diet for Relief of Bell's Palsy
Vitamin A that is found in foods like liver, eggs, whole milk and other protein rich foods helps to combat viruses thus relieving symptoms of Bell's Palsy. Copper which is essential for nerve health can also help ease symptoms of Bell's Palsy. Copper can be found in beans, nuts, potatoes, dark leafy greens, dried fruits such as prunes, cocoa and black pepper.
Some people suffering from numbness around the mouth find it hard to eat solid foods; in this case, it is important to still get the nutrients needed to combat Bell's Palsy. Smoothies consisting of fruits and veggies, with a small addition of protein powder can help energize the body and mind while dealing with Bell's Palsy.
Natural Remedies
A natural approach to Bell's Palsy often works best in combination with other therapies.
Natural remedies like herbs can promote effective functioning of the nervous system and offer a therapeutic effect therefore possibly preventing some causes of Bell's Palsy. Herbal ingredients such as St. John's Wort, Valerian, and Avena sativa, as well as homeopathically prepared Aconite, Causticum, Dulcamara and Gelsemium can be used to treat symptoms related to the nervous system and aid faster recovery.
Under the guidance of an herbalist or homeopath, herbal and homeopathic remedies may be successfully incorporated into your treatment plan.
Tips for How to Deal with Bell's Palsy
Natural Remedies
- Bell's Palsy recovery often includes special care for the eye on the affected side of the face. Bell's Palsy makes it hard to close or blink the eye, and without these actions it is difficult to maintain moisture in the eye.
- If the eye becomes dry, and is exposed to foreign bodies because it cannot close, it will become damaged. Consultation with an ophthalmologist is recommended. Use the following safety measures to keep the eye moist:
- Administer artificial tears every 2 hours
- Wear sunglasses or an eye patch to protect the eye and reduce dryness
- Apply a lubricant and tape the eye shut before you sleep to keep the cornea from drying
- A weight may also be placed in the eyelid to keep it shut
- About 50% of Bell's Palsy patients will experience a complete recovery in two to three weeks.
- Bell's Palsy recovery depends on the severity of the nerve damage. If nerve damage is mild, recovery can be expected to be quick – and the patient should be healed within weeks. However, if the damage is more severe, recovery can take longer. Approximately 7% of patients experience a recurrence of Bell's palsy, with an average time span of ten years. Bell's Palsy has an increased tendency to recur in diabetics.
- It is not uncommon for people suffering from Bell's Palsy to become self conscious because of their facial disfigurement, and they tend to shy away from others and isolate themselves. There are various treatment options and coping mechanisms to manage this condition and to ensure a good quality of life.
Tips for Managing Bell's Palsy
There are basic wellness methods and lifestyle considerations that can aid in Bell's Palsy recovery patients to deal with their condition more effectively. These helpful tips include:
- Eating a healthy and balanced diet rich in leafy, green vegetables
- Exercising regularly
- Practice facial massage and facial exercises several times a day
- Increase intake of Vitamin B12, B6 and zinc supplements to promote nerve growth
- Manage stress levels by practicing relaxation exercises
- Investigate acupuncture, electrical stimulation and biofeedback training
- Apply moist heat to the paralyzed areas to help reduce pain
- Massage affected area
- Keep the face warm – wear a scarf or a jacket with a hood, because exposure to cold brings on paralysis
- Try drinking juice, water or cold drinks with a straw
- Cut food into small pieces and eat on the side of your mouth that feels most comfortable
- Wear a piece of cotton wool under your eye patch as it prevents dust from settling in
- Wear a pair of goggles when you shower to prevent soap and shampoo from affecting your weak eye
- Be positive and patient

Proud WWII veteran grateful for honor
I would like to thank the Waterbury Veterans Memorial Committee members for the wonderful May 22 event they organized.

I cannot express to the committee members the pride I felt in being recognized and honored by them. To be nominated for admission into the Order of St. Barbara, accepted into the Order and awarded the medal was one of the highlights of my life.

"WHIPLASH X TAJ: Using the classic "Whiplash" model as a starting point, this board has now become the most refined and streamlined design in our line. Based of of TBs winning board from the 2012 Quiksilver Pro (Snapper Rocks) it is relatively low volume board , with continuous rocker (to fit where ever TB wants to go on the wave) and deep concaves (for lift and the speed to get there). A relaxed central rocker maintains speed and carry through the flats, while hyper-extended tail kick in the last 16" and a moderately lifted nose keep the board free, loose and responsive. The outline also has an aggressive, continuous curve, cutting out all the unneeded surface area, thus no hip or bump in front of the fins that most of our boards feature. The nose, while not as needle or narrow as in the past, is still pulled enough to not get in the way of TBs fast and critical, tight radius turns. Although not for everyone, this board is relatively easy to ride and is best for younger and fit surfers who are above average, have no problem creating their own speed, and surf regularly in punchy beach or decent quality point breaks and want to surf as critical and radical as possible." - Lost

World Autism Awareness Day
Bill Erikson April 3, 2014 at 01:15 pm
genesko, my heart goes out to you. I've done most of this on my own. Until someone actually has a…Read More child with a disability, they will never truly understand. I can respect that. Had my son not had the stroke, and the severity of the Autism did not subside, I don't know how I would of made it. CHOP Neurological never could explain how the severity subsided. Just Luck. A trade off if you will. My Son drives, yes, but sometimes his emotions overwhelm him. He has learned how to recognize that, and he knows to call me first. But the Joys are great. He can read other's clues for social interaction, and he is always improving there. But again, a lot of work at home was required. I know depending on the severity of the situation, it may never improve. Regarding the group homes, you are right. 20 year waiting list. I'm reminded of my Late Dad's best friend who's oldest son is Autistic. He is now about 57, living in a home. He was lucky. His parents were very upper middle class. They were able to afford what was needed and was able to see to it. Unfortunately today, many of us cannot earn the incomes of our parents with the health benefits that they had. The best advice I can give you, which I am certain that you know, is to keep your children close. Raise them to appreciate and love each other. So as we go to the great beyond, we may hope our disabled children will still be loved and looked after by their siblings. A burden their brother's and sisters never asked for. But a love and appreciation of life and for life, that perhaps most in our country today seem to lack.

"The St. Tammany Parish school district is getting $67.8 million in disaster loans and accumulated interest for Hurricane Katrina forgiven by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Sen. Mary Landrieu's office announced Monday. The announcement follows FEMA's earlier decision to cancel a $9.9 million loan for the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office and a $14.5 million loan to the St. Tammany Parish government." Landrieu, it turns out, inserted a loan forgiveness provision into the 2013 Homeland Security Appropriations bill -- a move that will likely mean future forgiveness for even more Katrina loans. Remember her when you get your flood insurance bill to pay for all those forgiven Katrina loans...

John G. Lewis April 7, 2014 at 12:41 pm
@shawnautumn Solar Panels are a very limited, relatively high cost, way of accruing power, at least…Read More at this point. (The best I understand matters, now, at least.) Wind power, and hydrological power (already being used greatly, perhaps) is more so a possibility. As long as the wind stations are kept away (say a minimum of 2 or 3 miles) from dense dwellings areas, possibly any dwelling, except a lone farmer or two that is willing to permit it. And with the Great Plains of America, this is very much possible. If there are 'lies' around, as many have mentioned, this may be more so a concern of "fracturing" technology, and Natural Gas Power. The danger being the pollution of the environment, land, especially water. Look at Nuclear Power here in America. Think it is dead? Hardly, we have very many operative plants all over the U.S. Nobody makes a peep about it any more because the movement to stop development of it was successful. How much pollution has there been from them, relatively speaking, since Three Mile Island?

Joe from Willistown March 26, 2014 at 10:58 am
Darwin Award candidates are always the last to know. Well, again, it's not like they weren't…Read More warned. And warned. And begged. And pleaded. And over and over and over again. Modern science and medical technology makes this ironic situation possible. Those that indulge themselves, contrary to the wisdom of the ages, see technology as the means to the end of pure selfishness. It also allows them to impudently laugh at those with cautious respect for life and civilization itself. That is to say, these people arrogantly believe themselves superior in their license to all that came before them with warnings of self-restraint and self-control. "We can have it all, you losers!" The truth is somewhat more complex. All the post-Sixties "liberated lifestyles" have something in common the participants cannot see for their willful blindness: they create sterile lives. There is no generation. No issue. No follow on. The end of the line. And it makes perfect sense. These aberrant life-style choices were promoted by the same cadre that decided human beings were akin to an infection of the earth mother Gaia, to be destroyed or at least controlled. Too many people mean someone's got to be sacrificed. Who would sacrifice their posterity willingly? Well it's an unnatural demand you've got to admit, so the obvious solution was to grant extreme license, the proverbial "sex, drugs, and rock and roll." Given that millions upon millions accepted this Devil's Bargain of forfeited posterity in exchange for pure hedonistic indulgence, the more perverse the better according to the law of diminishing returns, is it reasonable to expect them to willingly admit the abject horror of their choice as mortality dawns on them, the Boomers mainly, in their old age? No, it is not reasonable to expect Boomers (or anyone) to admit such a mortal mistake. Leon Festinger has much to say about the psychology involved. The short of it is that Christianity, with its message of redemption and hope for life eternal, is the only solution, the only way out for souls lost and forlorn. So now we understand why Christ's message much be repressed, censored, forbidden by any means necessary: redemption of the suicidal wickedness would bring the party to an immediate end. Most people haven't the courage to face such guilt and those that orchestrate it stand to lose awesome power and wealth garnered from peddling flesh and its vices. To the willing participants in the Culture of Death, know that you do have a Way Out with the humility that comes from falling on your knees and begging forgiveness for squandering the inestimable gift that is your life. Cry out to your God and he will hear you and you will know peace - perhaps for the first time in your life. Should you refuse to mend your evil ways then know this: the rest of us will not allow our sons and daughters to be seduced and trapped in a web of empty self-indulgence that murders the soul. We will warn you and speak truth to evil whether you like it or not -- specifically because you don't like it and thereby need most to hear it. But at the end of the day it will be them, who defied all warning and pleading, cajoling and even damnation ... who will face the ultimate consequences alone. By themselves, without bequest or heritage only the end. Party on dudes. Eat drink and be merry. For you, this is all there is. I understand (even as I vehemently oppose it) why you violently and militantly demand we normal people pretend you are fine, as even empty lip-service is better than the oblivion you face every day. May God grant you peace and may you be humble enough to accept it. In the meantime -- keep your self-destructive, posterity-terminating "lifestyles" to yourselves.

I generally do not believe that you need to have experience doing something in order to offer an thorough critique of someone who is. You do not need to have experience as president in order to be critical of Obama's policies, you do not need to be a working actor or director in order to write a comprehensive film review, and you do not need to have played a sport on its highest level in order to coach it there. There's no hypocrisy or inauthenticity there. Sometimes it takes a person on the "sidelines" to better assess a situation because their potentially panoramic knowledge about a topic and their lack of personal engagement with it allows them to be both more insightful and more objective.
This belief does not extend to people telling other people—and by "other people" I mean "rich people"—what they should be doing with their money. Regardless of whether a person's intent is noble—and regardless of whether I actually agree with them that a rich person could have spent their money in a "better" way—this type of criticism always rubs me the wrong way, especially if the rich person is actually doing a good thing. I was annoyed when Oprah received criticism for starting a school in South Africa instead of Chicago (although I saw their point), and I've grown just as annoyed with people insisting that Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine—but mainly Dr. Dre—should have found a more "worthy" place to gift $70 million (although I also see their point).
This annoyance stems from a simple place: the idea that wealthy people should be held to a higher moral/financial standard than the rest of us just because they're wealthy. Lemme me put it this way. In the last couple of days I've heard and read several criticisms of Dr. Dre for giving his money to a school that's already wealthy instead of one that actually needs the cash. And by "one that actually needs the cash" they mean "an HBCU." (USC's endowment is in the billions. I think Central State's is $16.17)
Yet, a few of these critiques have been made by people with a few letters after their names. I even read one penned by a president of a university. I do not know any of these people's salaries, but knowing what I know about secondary education, it would not be a stretch to assume that they're near or surpassing six figures.
I do not have a problem with this at all. People are going to make whatever the market demands, and the market demand for a medium to high level university employee is a comfortable income.
But, if you're going to criticize a person for basically just doing a money-based good deed that wasn't quite good enough for you, how are you able to justify receiving an income that far surpasses what you need in order to live? Shit, why not work for free? I'm sure you've made enough money where you can survive for a couple years with no income. Why haven't you decided to devote all of your non-essential funds to whichever cause you've criticized some wealthy person for not contributing to?
This sounds silly, but once you start criticizing someone for decisions they make with their money, when does it stop? Why are you driving a Lexus when the 10 year old Honda you traded in as a down payment still worked fine? Why buy bottled water when you can drink it out of the tap? Why buy your girlfriend a birthday present? You know she has money, a condo, and a car already. Why give more to someone who already has?
You know, I actually agree that Dr. Dre could have spent his money a little better. I say this while typing on a Chromebook I just purchased, thoughts still kind of scattered after watching a riveting NBA playoff game on my 50 inch plasma screen TV. I did not need to purchase either of these things. When my old laptop broke, instead of buying a new one, I could have just got a library card. And, the 100 pound TV with the 17 inch screen sitting in one of my closets would have allowed me to watch the game just fine.
I'm not saying any of this to make people feel bad about how they spend their money. I just want people to think about how they're spending their own money before calling someone out for how they're spending theirs.

The San Antonio City Council could soon take up an anti-discrimination ordinance to include additional groups.
District 1 Councilman Diego Bernal proposed a policy that would also be consolidated with other anti-discrimination regulations that he said are scattered about in a constellation of codes and ordinances.
City staffers are researching how to go about consolidating the policies. The council's governance committee will meet Tuesday and decide whether to advance the issue to the full city council.
A UTSA engineering and business student team has received the $100,000 prize in the Student Technology Venture Competition for its work on a device to help amputees.
The team developed a cooling device for prosthetics – and a way to market the product.
Before Gary Walters graduated with a Bachelors in Engineering Monday, he and his teammates had already started a company to market the device he designed for his engineering team's Capstone project.
After heated political pressure that included proposed legislation this session, the group running the online lesson provider CSCOPE has canceled their services with the state.
According to the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative, 877 Texas school districts use the online lesson plan known as CSCOPE.
Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, said there have been problems with the content provided in the CSCOPE lesson plans since their introduction:
After several late-nights of heated discussions, a joint committee of senators and representatives unanimously approved a $100 billion state budget.
For the last week Republicans and Democrats have gone back and forth arguing about what should be left in the state's budget and what should be left out.
The biggest factor was how much Republicans would be willing to give up to restore funding for public education.
In the first segment:
Texas ranks third in teen pregnancy nationwide and first in teen moms with multiple children. Even with the drop in teen pregnancy that the city has seen, what else can be done to empower teenage girls and address this life-changing issue?
A House budget committee passed Senate Joint Resolution 1 to fund state-related water plans. The measure sets up an empty fund that the state can use to fund water projects over the next 50 years, and now heads to the House floor for a vote.
While many of the committee confidently voted for the resolution, others had reservations.
"Beyond the Horizon" is the season finale for the San Antonio Choral Society. The concert this Sunday afternoon at 3pm will be led by Jennifer Seighman.
Seighman will lead Chichester Psalms by Leonard Bernstein, as well as music by living composers like John Corigliano. "I've based the program on poetry," Jennifer states. "What lies behind us, what lies before us, what lies beyond us - are tiny matters compared to what is within us. It comes from a Ralph Waldo Emerson quote."
Fronteras: West Nile cases are up across the Southwest. A recent study shows more Latinos are moving to rural America. A young Mexican artist, now living in Texas, talks about his drawings that shine a light on the fact that children are growing up amid war and corruption along the border. Finally, Lydia Mendoza has been called the First Lady of Tejano and Conjunto Music and this week the U.S. Postal Service unveiled a forever stamp in her honor.
A fact that is being overlooked as the IRS scandal plays out is that both conservative and progressive groups were required to answer additional questions. Two Texas groups talk about the extra questionnaire and why they feel they deserve to be tax free. Also on this show: In the last two years, 60 women's health clinics were forced to close, so why did the state have $2.3 million in unspent federal funds, which was available to keep clinics running?

The Future of Flash as an Application Development Platform. In My World.
Let me preface this article by stating that I am a pretty big fan of the Flash Platform. Over the last 5 years, I fell in love with Flash and the Flash Platform. Heck, I've been a comanager of the NorCalFlash User Group for the last 3 years.
But lately, that love affair seems pretty one-sided. I've been pretty wed to the platform for UI development, and even switched my role from an application developer to a front-end developer. I faithfully report SDK bugs, try to promote the various frameworks and practices behind Flex and try to defend it's position as a powerful and relevant platform for application development. Flex, on the other hand, really hasn't been all that committed to me. Instead, it's been out courting the mobile platforms, and has pretty much forgotten about me. So here I sit, pining for what could have been and pondering my future.
Really, most serious Flex developers will agree that Flex 4 was an unfinished product. The Tree control, Advanced DataGrid and several other components have yet to be replaced in the framework, leaving the developers with components that have literally dozens of bugs filed against them. In my project, I am working around serious bugs that have existed for three years or more in the Tree. Other components that were built in Flex 4.5 are still incomplete.
All this would be fine, if the project were truly managed as an open source project. The community could contribute to providing new components, and Adobe could continue to focus on their mobile initiatives. However, even though Flex is touted as an open source project, the community has very little control over what makes it into the product and when. We are once again at the mercy of Adobe dedicating resources away from the core and into emerging trends. To date, much of this has left many developers with a bad taste in their mouth, and some even have serious angst against the platform and Adobe.
To give credit to the development teams, some amazing functionality came out of both the Builder IDE and the SDK for 4.0 and 4.5 releases in terms of application development for the browser. However, when your days are spent deep in the SDK customizing every little aspect of an existing control, or building deeply complex controls from scratch, not being able to fix serious issues with the SDK that prevent you from delivering a quality product is frustrating and difficult to justifty after a long period of time.
What it's made me realize is that it's not just the Flash Platform. This occurs with EVERY platform I use that is vendor-specific and the source of that platform is controlled by the vendor. No, I'm not going to go all fanatical open source on you, but there's something to be said for being able to fix the bugs in the platform you are using WHEN YOU NEED IT. Not three years later.
Can I see myself using Flex in 4 years for my development platform? That all depends on where Adobe goes with the Flex SDK and the Flash Platform in general over the next year. Listening to the Adobe keynotes, one gets the impression that the web browser application developer is not high on their priority list for the Flash Platform right now. It's looking like I really need to be putting as much focus in the next generation UI platforms as I am the current platforms I am vested in.

Good deed is punishedFebruary 02,2013Staff Report
LONDONDERRY A good Samaritan, who stopped to give someone a ride Wednesday night in Londonderry, had her car stolen by the hitchhiker.
Vermont State Police said that Stacey Bonang, 45, of Weston, picked up a woman hitchhiker on Route 11, near the Mill Restaurant in Londonderry. Bonang gave the woman a ride to the Londonderry Plaza, and Bonang left the woman alone in her vehicle when the woman requested to make a private phone call.
At this point, the female locked the doors and drove off, the police report stated. Bonangs vehicle, a maroon 2012 Subaru Forester with Vermont registration FSH112, was later found Thursday morning crashed into a tree on Route 100 in Weston, near Piper Hill Road.
Bonang reported her car stolen at 8:40 p.m.
The hitchhiker was described as 5 foot, 5 inches tall, with a slender build, wearing a black jacket and dark hair tucked up into a hat. The woman was wearing jeans and boots, with the jeans tucked into the boots. The hitchhiker was wearing glasses.
Anyone with information about the unknown woman is asked to call the Vermont State Police, Rockingham barracks, at (802)-875-2112.
Police reminded motorists that picking up hitchhikers, although a kind gesture, can be a dangerous activity. Police recommended that people not pick up hitchhikers, or if they do, use extreme caution.MORE IN This Just InTOMORROW'S HEADLINES TODAY: Two fires, one in West Rutland and the other in Middletown Springs, keep firefighters busy, sports and update on robbery at Jenny Wren's in Springfield. 0News Editor Alan Keays, staff writer Darren Marcy and Sports Editor Bob Fredette discuss some of...

Tails Closes Security Gaps
Recent privacy revelations bring new importance to the anonymous surfing Live distro.
The Debian-based distribution Tails (The Amnesic Incognito Live System) has announced a new release. Version 0.20.1 fixes several errors and includes some new software. The recent revelations about NSA government surveillance should bring bring renewed interested in Tails, a Live distro designed to allow the user to operate on the Internet anonymously. Like many Live Linux distros, Tails does not provide all-original software but adds value by assembling and configuring a streamlined collection of tools for a specific use case. In the case of Tails, the configuration is centered around the TOR anonymous browsing network. TOR is available to other Linux systems as well, but Tails is configured for anonymous browsing by default.
The TAILS developers recommend switching to the new version as soon as possible. The security fixes included in the latest release apply to the Iceweasel web browser (Debian's Free Software version of Firefox) as well as the Linux kernel, the ImageMagick image processing toolkit, and other packages.See the Tails website for a complete list of bug fixes.
The new release comes with new versions of Tor (0.2.4.17), Iceweasel (17.0.9), and the Linux kernel (3.10.11-1).

Summary of The Stone Diaries Summary of The Stone Diaries Reviews for The Stone Diaries An Excerpt from The Stone Diaries
In celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of its original publication, Carol Shieldss Pulitzer Prizewinning novel is now available in a Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition Bittersweet, beautifully written . . . deliciously unclassifiable, blatantly intelligent and subtly subversive . . . The Stone Diaries chips away at our most cherished, comforting beliefs about the immutability of facts and fate.
ONE OF THE MOST successful and acclaimed novels of our time, this fictionalized autobiography of Daisy Goodwill Flett is a subtle but affecting portrait of an everywoman reflecting on an unconventional life. What transforms this seemingly ordinary tale is the richness of Daisys vividly described inner lifefrom her earliest memories of her adoptive mother to her awareness of impending death.

40: A Doonesbury Retrospective
by G.B. Trudeau
Andrews McMeel, 695 pp., $100.00
Doonesbury's characters are now in their third generation, and we have lived with them through four decades of turbulent times—wars, scandals (Watergate, S and L, "Koreagate," Iran-contra, Katrina, and others), and political campaigns, many of which Trudeau covered as closely as any journalist while catching the essence of each era in unfailingly funny ways.
Trudeau & Trauma March 10, 2011
