Came across this quote from former Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyoming, 1979 to 1997) [who has held more than just that one govt job, including now co-chair of Pres Obama's debt commission.](approx Nov 2010)Yet his latest epithet for older Americans who are anxious to protect Medicare and Social Security from Simpson and his commission: We had the greatest generation. I think this is the greediest generation.
There does not seem to be any dispute that he made this statement, although this mention comes from The Huffington Post.
Somehow I don't equate greed with people who have paid into the system expecting to get some benefit from that system ... especially when the contributions made were not "optional", but mandated. Not to mention that the funding might have had a chance of being sustainable if politicians hadn't raided the cookie jar, leaving only a bunch of IOUs that are unlikely to be honored (and as another $500 billion from Medicare is being diverted into Obamacare as well).
Interestingly, I came across another article which indicated that Ayn Rand collected about $11,000 in SS between 1974 and 1982 year period (that's less than $1000/year). And her husband Frank O'Conner collected about $3,000 (between 1974 and 1979). Public records show that they were also eligible for Medicare Part B, which meant that they had enrolled for Medicare, but figures for Medicare benefits were not available to the researcher.

Yes, I did read both articles, the one that RK quoted and the one you just put up.
General McChrystal wants 40,000 more troops sent to Afghanistan.
But you apparantly missed the part where others are more skeptical.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Richard Holbrooke, the special envoy to Afghanistan, are said to be leaning in favor of a troop increase while Defense Secretary Robert Gates has not signaled his preference. Others are more skeptical, including National Security Adviser Jim Jones and Vice President Joe Biden who wants Obama to consider dialing down U.S. forces in favor of a counterterrorism campaign along the Pakistan border where many al-Qaida operatives are believed to be hiding.
Whatever President Obama will decide to do will be criticized no matter what he does. As I have said before, this war is another Viet Nam (Started by the Bush administration) and there is no winning it. Look at all the years we have had troops stationed in North Korea. Afghanistan and Iraq will be the same.
President Barack Obama's top defense and diplomacy advisers said the United States retains the Afghanistan war goal that he outlined just two months into his presidency - to sideline al-Qaida - but changing circumstances require a reassessment of how to get there.
A "snap decision" on whether to add more U.S troops would be counterproductive, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday.
Whatever the president decides, the military will salute, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said.
"It's important that at the end of the day that the president makes a decision that he believes in," Clinton added.
The question of whether to further escalate the conflict after adding 21,000 U.S. troops earlier this year is a major decision facing Obama and senior administration policy advisers this week.
Obama invited a bipartisan group of congressional leaders to the White House on Tuesday to confer about the war. And Obama will meet twice this week with his national security team.
Divided on Afghanistan, Congress takes up a massive defense spending bill this week even before the president settles on a direction for the war.

Conference focuses on magic and cinema, March 11
Posted March 2, 2006; 09:26 p.m.
A conference titled "Magic and the American Avant-Garde Cinema" will
take place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, March 11, in the Stewart
Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
The gathering will focus on the ways in which ideas of magic have shaped the American avant-garde cinema since Maya Deren made her first films in 1943. Scholars, poets and independent authorities on magic and filmmaking will explore the relationship of projected images to the traditions of magic and hermetica.
During the previous week, a series of films by such artists as Deren, Kenneth Anger, Harry Smith and Zoë Beloff will be screened at Anthology Film Archives in New York City in conjunction with this event. Many of these films have been shown on successive Wednesday nights in the Stewart Film Theater as part of a seminar on the same topic taught by P. Adams Sitney, professor of the Council of the Humanities and visual arts.
Each speaker will make a short presentation followed by an open discussion. The public is invited to attend the free event, which is sponsored by the Program in Visual Arts and the David A. Gardener '69 Magic Project.

China's stocks continued their rally today, with the Shanghai Composite Index gaining 0.4% as good economic continued to outweigh the bad–at least in the minds of investors. The iShares FTSE China 25 Index (FXI) exchange-traded fund has returned 6.4% during the past month.
Output at India's factories, utilities and mines surged 8.2% year over year, the Central Statistical Office reported today, besting estimates for a 5.1% gain. The rate of inflation rose to 9.9% in November from a year earlier, damping expectations for India's central bank to cut interest rates. India's benchmark Sensex Index fell 0.2%.
Emerging-market stocks rose for a sixth consecutive day, Bloomberg reported, as investors anticiapted more Federal Reserve bond buying. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) has returned 3.3% during the past week, more than double the Standard & Poor's 500-Stock Index's (SPY) 1.6% return.
Investor complacency must be at unprecedented levels. Want evidence? North Korea test launched a missile today–and South Korea's Kospi Composite Index rose 0.55%.
Count Templeton Emerging Markets Group's Mark Mobius among the 2013 developing market bulls. In an interview with Bloomberg, he said he expects monetary easing by global central banks will send investors rushing into riskier assets. Mr. Mobius's Templeton Emerging Markets (EMF) closed-end fund has returned 7.8%, although its net asset value has jumped 12.3%.

Yemen: Seeking alternatives to camps as the crisis grows
Saleh Ali Showi and his family have lived in a camp in Al Mazraq in Hajjah Governorate, northern Yemen, since August 2009. They were forced to abandon their home after fighting broke out between the Government and Houthi-led separatist fighters.
It is a difficult life—one made even more complicated as Mr. Showi, 75 years old, is diabetic and regularly needs insulin injections.
"I enter a state of unconsciousness if I don't get a shot," he says. "I may skip a meal but cannot skip insulin."
Mr. Showi receives his insulin from a camp clinic, previously run by Médecins Sans Frontières Spain and handed over to the Adventist Relief Agency (ADRA) at the end of 2011. Without the clinic's help, he would not be able to treat himself. "I don't have money to buy a shot," he explains. Each injection costs US$12.
Money is scarce. There are few employment prospects, and many camp residents are dependent on handouts. Throughout the region, many communities rely entirely on humanitarian aid.
On days when Mr. Showi feels unwell, the whole family suffers. "He will not allow us to sleep," says Khairya, Mr. Showi's 65-year-old wife. The family lives in a large tent, with five grandchildren. Their mother, a daughter to Mr. Showi, died of illness last year.
Mr. Showi's family used to live in Malahet in Sa'ada Governorate, but fled their home during fighting between Government forces and the Houthi. This is a long-running conflict that has witnessed six rounds of fighting since 2004. Today, Mr. Showi is one of an estimated 300,000 people displaced by conflict in northern Yemen.
There are three main camps for displaced people in northern Yemen, all located in Hajjah, housing about 20,000 displaced people. The situation they face is desperate. Many more displaced people live among friends and family, or in informal settlements scattered across the north.
"I have met families living in Al-Mazraq camp where, despite the best efforts of aid agencies, I noticed a deterioration in the situation compared to what I saw a year ago," said the UN's Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator Catherine Bragg, following a November 2011 visit.
In a conservative Muslim society such as Yemen, living in close proximity to strangers in a camp environment is culturally problematic, and undermines the dignity of many families.
Camps present a host of protection challenges, exposing girls and women to threats of sexual violence and abuse. Reporting on sexual violence, however, is a challenge because the subject is taboo among most communities in Yemen.
Camps are also expensive to construct and maintain, and can increase the risk of disease. These challenges have highlighted the need to seek alternative solutions in southern Yemen. Here, fighting between Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, other Islamist groups and Government forces has displaced about 100,000 people.
No camps have been set up in the south, and most of the displaced live among host families, or in schools and other open places. This has affected schooling, however.
OCHA has played a crucial role in coordinating meetings between aid agencies and the Government to discuss the risks associated with the creation of camps, and to identify alternative solutions that are in the best interests of the displaced people and the communities hosting them.
Needs are projected to increase this year, and OCHA expects to play an even greater advocacy role. According to the 2012 Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan, released on 14 December 2011, an estimated $447 million will be required to meet the needs of about 4 million people.
"Camps are not a good option," said Tareq Talahma, Humanitarian Affairs Officer at OCHA Yemen. "They work as a pull factor, increasing the reliance of displaced persons on humanitarian aid and constraining their ability to develop exit strategies for their future."

With all the trials and tribulations that come with raising children, many parents joke that they cannot wait for their kids to grow up and get out of the house. But when that time finally comes, some parents find themselves feeling sad, lonely, and even depressed. Here is how to prepare for and cope with your feelings when the kids fly the coop.
When the older of Nancy's 2 daughters left for college, it was a relatively easy transition for Nancy, because her daughter attended a local college, just minutes away.
"I missed her, but it wasn't a very big lifestyle change," she says.
But when her younger daughter left a few years later to join the Air Force, Nancy's whole world seemed to turn upside down. "I fell apart," she says. "I was surprised by how hard it hit me."
Specific circumstances vary from family to family and the feelings parents experience will also vary. Negative feelings may include:
In some cases, parents may experience symptoms associated with clinical depression, including:
People experiencing any of these symptoms should see their doctor.
It is perfectly normal to feel a sense of loss when your children leave home. Grieving is part of the process that helps you cope and adjust. If you feel like you need a good cry, face up to it, do it, then put it behind you.
While it is okay to grieve and take time to do it, don't allow yourself to get stuck in it. The grieving process will help you move to the next step. If you are crying often, or you cannot overcome your feelings of sadness, you may be experiencing symptoms of depression. The good news is that depression is treatable, so tell your doctor about it.
During this transition, you may want to turn to others. Consider talking to friends who have been through the same thing, or bounce your feelings off your spouse. Chances are, they feel the loss too.
Having support is important. Support can also come from others outside family and friends. Support groups, online community bulletin boards and forums, or behavioral counseling may help shift your focus off your child and back onto yourself where it belongs.
One way to potentially lessen the blow when the kids leave is to prepare for it before it happens. When your children are in high school, their lives change as well. They want more independence, so it is a good time to back off a bit and let them find their own way. It is a perfect time for you to find your own way, too. Take the time to think about yourself and what you want to do.
Hobbies, interests, new work, volunteering, classes, or travel are a short list of new experiences waiting for you. If you have been putting projects off, the time to transition them into your lives is now. As your children break free, so will you. It will help you when the time comes for them to leave for college.
One positive aspect is that while they are in high school, you have the time to explore options at your own pace. If you aren't quite ready to go all-in on something new, you don't have to. You can take the time you need and do it on your own terms.
Focusing on the positive aspects of an empty nest can also help you deal with your sadness. Instead of thinking about your children being gone, think about the new open road ahead of you. New found freedom has its upside.
Nancy has even enjoyed some benefits of an empty nest, including not hearing the phone ring all the time and not worrying what time her daughters will be home.
Perhaps most importantly, acknowledge you did your job, and did it well. Parents should remember that if their kids are ready and willing to move onward and upward, it's usually a reflection of good parenting.

I've been making some progress on the capplet. Discussed with eskil as to what to do with my unfinished changes. We decided that I should commit them into branch so that he can poke at it while I'm gone on my trip "home". The fact that I needed to commit something spured me onto some active hacking yesterday and I wound up braking a lot of things. So now it is not commitable at all. Let see if I can get it working again before I leave on thursday.
And may pay-work is not exactly cooperating. Have to finish shit-load of stuff before I leave.

I like a prominent brow. It's indicative of virility to me. except when it's on a woman and then it's just time to run.
Mr.DP I will have you know that your last post (myself being a fan of British comedy) put a vivid picture of you getting hit on the head with one o' the wicker purses by some old thick-browed woman, possibly yelling "GIT ORF MOI LARRRRRND!!!!" into my mind IMMEDIATELY upon readin it
Iso & Baws
And that image is FUNNY
Something about him reminds me of my older brother, Rex.
happens all the time. all the time. actually only ever happened once, the 'git orf my larrrrnd' bit. I was liberating apples from an orchard. some old dude came out waving a shovel in the air.
I miss having buster black dog around. he used to scare off the gypsies and vagrants, jehovahs witnesses and anyone wearing a luminous safety jacket.
why though, when the mormons send all their hot young bucks out to spread the word and help the needy do none ever knock on my door? yeah they'll pass in the street and say hi and smile but.... grrr
LOL I may actually have a copy of paper roses. maybe they've been warned by the jehovahs witnesses who over here are almost exclusively wizened old women in grey raincoats and cloche hats. a jehovahs witness once came to my door and shoved a pamphlet at me with a picture of adam and eve stood by a stream where jungle and savannah animals were either drinking or looking longingly at adam and eve. I was asked "does this look like paradise to you?" and I said "no, that lion is about to eat the zebra and the elephant is going to trample the crocodile and the tiger will eat adam and eve. it's not a good neighbourhood really." or words to that effect. *cough*
what the hell is this thread about anyway?
I had to do some real digging to find my previous picture and I see that it was from 5 years ago. Time for an update...taken on Maui.

You see, of late Yale has been kicking Harvard's sorry butt at producing presidential contenders. In 2004, both nominees, George W. Bush and John Kerry, were Yale alumnae. In 2000, Harvard-educated Al Gore made the finals, only to lose to Yalie Bush. Bill Clinton, Yale Law '73, landed the office in 1992, and Bush Sr., Yale '50, preceded him.
Yale could easily keep the streak alive in 2008. For the Republicans, there's George Pataki, governor of New York and a rumored candidate, who went to Yale as an undergrad. The Democrats have New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, who graduated Yale Law with her husband. And, of course, there's always Kerry again.
But Harvard is bringing in some heavy competition. If Harvard Med School grad Bill Frist doesn't run, the GOP field still has our own governor Mitt Romney, who took degrees simultaneously from Harvard Business School and Harvard Law in 1975. Harvard Law also produced Russ Feingold ('79) and Mark Warner ('80), who are both unofficially pursuing the Democratic nomination. And who knows? Al Gore may yet enter the race.
Other area schools will also have alumnae in the presidential hunt. Hillary Clinton went to Wellesley. Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd, who is openly testing the waters, went to Providence College. Kerry got his law degree from Boston College. And Bill Richardson went to Tufts University and Tufts Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
But this may be the big year for Harvard. And even if things don't work, Crimson loyalists, keep this in mind: Barack Obama, Harvard Law '91.

"We just didn't do a good job beating it when they went to that halfcourt trap," New Site coach Byron Sparks said. "We turned it over a couple of times and that big girl did a great job inside."
Gulfport's 6-foot-2 freshman post player Ameshya Williams scored 29 points to help her team improve to 10-2.
New Site trimmed a double-digit lead to seven points twice in the fourth quarter but Dentasia Thomas' 3-pointer capped a 13-4 Gulfport run for a 60-4 lead with 3:30 to play.
Christy Clark's three-point play cut the lead to single digits, 47-38, to open the fourth quarter. Clark led New Site (11-3) with 19. Grace Elliot had 15 and Addison Lucas 11.
Elliot boarded a missed free throw and made a tough basket to get the Lady Royals within 63-53 with less than a minute to play.
Thomas had 11 and Leeza Lizana 10 for Gulfport.
"We kind of disrupted them to start the second half with our halfcourt trap. That really helped us a lot," Gulfport coach Donny Fuller said.
(G) Ocean Springs 53, Oxford 48: Three late 3-pointers brought Oxford back from a 10-point deficit with 2 minutes to play. Ocean Springs missed a pair of free throws and Jasmine Thompson hit a 3 to pull within 50-48 with 27.2 seconds to play. The Lady Chargers lost a turnover and Ocean Springs boarded a missed free throw. Lynise Byrd had 16 for Ocean Springs (8-4). Alexus Malone had 18 for Oxford.

|Primary Completion Date:
|January 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Arm I
Patients receive a single dose of Seneca Valley virus-001 (NTX-010) IV over 1 hour on day 1.
Biological: Seneca Valley virus-001
Given IV
Placebo Comparator: Arm II
Patients receive a single dose of placebo IV over 1 hour on day 1.
Other: placebo
Given IV
Detailed Description:
- To compare the progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer treated with Seneca Valley virus-001 (NTX-010) vs placebo.
- To compare the overall survival (OS) of patients treated with NTX-010 vs placebo.
- To describe the adverse events profile and safety of NTX-010 in this patient population.
- To determine the antitumor response rate, as assessed by RECIST criteria, and duration of tumor response in this patient population.
- To assess the quality of life of this patient population.
- To determine the relationship between the presence of neutralizing antibodies and PFS.
- To assess whether or not a slow viral clearance is associated with better response as determined by PFS.
- To determine any potential impact of the presence of one or several neuroendocrine markers in the tumor sample (synaptophysin, chromogranin, or CD56) on PFS and OS.
- To determine any potential relationship between presence of cell surface determinants of NTX-010 tropism in the tumor tissue and clinical outcomes such as improved PFS and OS.
- To determine any potential relationship between the loss of integrity of IFN signaling in the tumor tissue and clinical outcomes such as improved PFS and OS.
- To assess whether or not the presence of circulating tumor cells permissive to NTX-010 is associated with better clinical outcomes as determined by PFS and OS.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to ECOG performance status (0 vs 1), tumor response to standard chemotherapy (partial response vs stable disease vs complete response), and time between completion of chemotherapy to randomization 1 month (≤1 month) vs 2 months (>1 month but ≤ 2 months) vs 3 months (> 2 months but ≤ 3 months). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive a single dose of Seneca Valley virus-001 (NTX-010) IV over 1 hour on day 1.
- Arm II: Patients receive a single dose of placebo IV over 1 hour on day 1. In both arms, patients may also undergo prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) daily on days 22-35 if they have not previously undergone PCI or whole-brain radiotherapy.
Quality of life is assessed at baseline and then periodically during the study.
Blood samples are collected periodically for viral clearance and antiviral neutralizing antibody levels, circulating tumor cells, and other biomarker laboratory studies.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up periodically for up to 5 years.

Binghamton University students celebrate Spring Fling weekend
Binghamton University students will officially bid adieu to cold weather and welcome the warm during Spring Fling festivities. Students will usher in the spring with one of the University's oldest traditions, the annual 'Stepping on the Coat' and a jam-packed schedule of music, food and fun. The events are open to the community.
Festivities begin at noon Saturday, April 29, in front of the upper level of the University Union and feature food, fun, games, rides and giveaways. The University will also be part of the mtvU "Campus Invasion Tour '06" featuring a number rising rocks bands. As part of the tour, mtvU will present an interactive village where attendees can get free stuff, meet the bands during autograph signings and participate in a range of activities.
Other activities include a garage sale, carnival rides, interactive booths and vendors. Free food including hamburgers, hotdogs, veggie burgers, lemonade and iced tea will be served.
The 'Stepping on the Coat' ceremony is scheduled to begin at 1 pm. A rite of spring since 1962, the coat-stomping ritual has, according to students, become vital to the onset of warm weather after Binghamton's long winters.
Spring Fling will close with a live performance at 6 p.m. by up-and coming artists Motion City Soundtrack, Straylight Run and hellogoodbye .
Spring Fling is sponsored by a selection of campus offices and organizations including the Student Association, the Office of Campus Life and the Division of Student Affairs.
For more information about Spring Fling, call 607-777-2811.

You know, there is not another astromech as capable as R2 by a longshot - not even Corran's Whistler.
Why even bother having a squad? R2 can almost handle the mission by himself.
He helped Obi-Wan and Anakin on the Invisible Hand in E3.
He just could not have defeated Dooku. After the escapade when Grievous captured him, I think R2 could beat Grievous in a rematch. Just in the movie, Obi-Wan got to Grievous first.
But I'm glad to see an episode focusing on Artoo. We haven't had one for a while, but he's always there, contributing to every mission.
Personally, the Separatists lose and the Republic is lucky that Artoo never joined the Droid Army.
Remember when Artoo reprogrammed the Battle Droids so they could take the Citadel and rescue Tarkin? That's what I'm talking about.

That pick against Alabama in OT, to me, sort of set the tone for every season we've played since then, always dreading when the next mistake might come, and convinced our QB play couldn't win games for us against good defenses.
Defense was THE problem. Lee was the only reason LSU had any chance against all teams except Tulane
You might be on to something here.
I'm tired of hearing about how next year is the year the offense explodes
I've just accepted that we will have a ho hum offense and rely on a great defense to win games
I'm tired of hearing about how next year is the year the offense explodes.
quote:Toss dive on 3rd and 3 into a ten man front. I call this one from my sofa numerous times every time our team plays, and lo and behold, the coach is always reading my mind! In effect, I'm actually the OC. So now you know who is calling the plays.
I agree,the offense needs to step for us to be a great team next year.
This year the fans unrealistically expected a QB who had never started a SEC game to be a Heisman contender from day one.
quote:Hate to shoot your theory full of holes, but 8 of Lee's 16 Ints were thrown when tied or ahead and 8 thrown when behind.
2008 was on Miles' defensive choice.
And no one can even begin to complain about the 2011 offense,until we reverted to JJ
I'd like to argue this but when JJ left, his play died along with it in my memory.
For those who are convinced Miles is such a big 10, ground and pound guy who hates creativity, why has he hired Crowton, Gonzales, Stud, and Krag as assistants in his time at LSU???? None of them are from the type of run only mentality that people claim Miles to want. The fact is after two of our most exciting offenses in LSU history under Miles in 06 and 07 we had to shut down the O after the pick six fest in 08 because we had an OC and two quarterbacks that made each other worse and began a cycle of steadily declining performance. Things got a bit better in 2011 with a new perspective from Krag before running into great Ds in Bama and Georgia, which those 2 QBs after their regressions under Crowton simply weren't capable of attacking successfully (especially twice). This year the full O scheme never got a truly fair shot to be showcased due to a WR corps that lacked explosiveness and consistent catching especially early on, and an in-season collapse of the OL due to injury and attrition that would have likely destroyed ANY other teams chances of having ANY success, but somehow our coaches and young players on the OL salvaged it. All this while breaking in a new QB with an ungodly amount of hype almost impossible to live up to, and not much mobility who had to learn how to recognize pressure in the SEC behind a work in progress OL. This could have been a DISASTER, but we won 10 games and threw for more yards down the stretch than we have in years, beginning against Alabama. This O is going to be exceptional next year, the way it was in 06 and 07 when we had an SEC level QB, and anyone who can't see that should bookmark this and we'll revisit this in a year and see who's right.

The annual return of Spoleto means two things: a plethora of incredible cultural and artistic experiences, and a mind-boggling number of fabulous parties. Charlestonians adore their Spoleto parties, opening receptions, cocktail fetes, pre-parties, and after-parties, and the Cast Party of The Cripple of Inishmaan was no exception.
The affair offered guests and cast members the opportunity to mingle and unwind in a comfortable, intimate setting, a relaxing respite before launching back into Charleston's social circuit. The party was hosted at a gorgeous historic home at 32 Society Street, and those who attended made their way down a colorfully lit walk before finding themselves in the midst of a late-night garden party.
Strains of traditional Irish music floated through the crowd, which was lit with a brilliant green spotlight, adding a bit of an ethereal feel to the evening. Servers circulated with platters of tantalizing savory and sweet bites, and more than a few guests could be spotted lingering around the dessert table. An open bar helped partygoers stay cool and refreshed as they chatted about the night's performance before the cast members arrived.
The cast members were greeted with enthusiastic applause, and they graciously posed for photos and chatted with guests until late into the summer night.
The Cripple of Inishmaan is an award-winning production from Ireland's renowned Druid Theater Company. The lauded dark comedy is directed by Druid's Tony Award-winning artistic director Garry Hynes, and is a featured performance in this year's Spoleto Festival USA.
Spoleto Festival USA is an annual, internationally recognized 17 day festival of the arts which takes place in Charleston, SC. While providing performances of the highest caliber, Spoleto Festival USA maintains a dedication to young artists, a commitment to all forms of the performing arts, a passion for contemporary innovation, and an enthusiasm for providing unusual performance opportunities for established artists.

"As noted above, individual coverage prices are extreme. The same is true for small companies. Coverage for an individual through my company plan was $760/month and coverage for a family was $2100. The same plan through a larger company group was $420 for an individual and $800 for a family. A health exchange as proposed would allow smaller companies and individuals to purchase at prices similar to large companies. However, this savings only happens when accompanied by a requirement ensuring virtually universal coverage. Currently, insurance companies assume that individual who are paying for their own insurance only purchase it if they anticipate becoming ill. The people who anticipate being healthy choose to forgo insurance rather than pay the full cost. If everyone buys insurance, the price to everyone with coverage will go down and insurance companies will better be able to predict cost. As a result, they will not need to charge as must of a risk premium."
Actually small group coverage contains state mandates & with 30 employees would provide guaranteed issue and coverage of pre-x, for most states. That would equate to around a 30% surcharge. A qucik online search for a quote for an individual/family plan vs you state risk pool should provide an accurate comparison. In TX for my age group this difference between the state risk pool, run by BSBS like medicare here, is 33% higher than a similar policy through bcbs. From an insurance companies viewpoint a known risk is the underwritten, full disclosed applicant and not in a group of 30 "strangers".

Nuit des Titans on Saturday: Big Tournament/Fight Card with Aikpracha, Pinca, Lidon
- Written by Rian Scalia
A big card is going down in Tours, France this Saturday, February 2. La Nuit des Titans is back with another big name fight card, which includes a one night tournament.
The tournament takes place at 72.5kg under Muay Thai rules and the four participants are Aikpracha Meenayothin, Yohan Lidon, Yury Bessmertny and Karim Ghajji. Aikpracha, who just fought less than a week ago at Yokkao Extreme, faces Yury Bessmertny on one side of the bracket while Yohan Lidon and Karim Ghajji will fight for the third time in the other semi final. Despite fighting on Saturday, Aikpracha is without a doubt the favorite here. Also, the rubber match between Karim Ghajji and Yohan Lidon has its own twist, having steadily grown into a grudge match. This will be the first time that Ghajji and Lidon have fought each other under Muay Thai rules as well.
Fabio Pinca is also on the card, fighting a Thai by the name of Yakdam at 68kg. That's all the info there is on Pinca's opponent, aside from that he's apparently an aggressive fighter that throws punches.
Also at 68kg will be Aziz Hlali once again stepping up a bit in weight to fight Super X. Super X has been fighting internationally a lot in the past year, but mostly from 70-72.5kg. He's definitely the bigger fighter, with a huge height advantage. Hlali is a very promising fighter and beat handed Bobo Sacko his first loss in his last outing.
There's one last Thailand vs. France match-up and it takes place at 73kg, with Issam Reghi fighting Dernchonlek Sor. Sor. Niyom. It's a very tough fight for Reghi, whose teammate Yohan Lidon lost to Dernchonlek in June.
72.5kg semi final: Aikpracha Meenayothin vs. Yury Bessmertny
72.5kg semi final: Yohan Lidon vs. Karim Ghajji
68kg: Fabio Pinca vs. Yakdam
68kg: Aziz Hlali vs. Super X
73kg: Issam Reghi vs. Dernchonlek Sor. Sor. Niyom

To develop internal staff trainers within each hospital to sustain on-going staff education needs
The BBC Train the Trainer Workshop was created so that hospitals could develop internal staff trainers to sustain on-going staff education needs. Supervisors identify staff members from among those who have attended the BBC Learner Workshop to become their hospital's BBC Trainers. During the Train the Trainer Workshop they receive additional education about the needs of adult learners and are given the opportunity to practice teaching some of the modules to each other.
Those who complete the Train the Trainer Workshop form teams in order to provide education to untrained or new staff in their own hospitals or collaborate with network hospitals to offer network-wide staff trainings. Similar to the Learner Workshop, the Train the Trainer Workshops are held on 2 days separated by at least 2 weeks. The first day emphasizes adult learning theory and the rationale for utilizing different modalities when providing staff education. During the second training day, each team presents a section of the Learner Workshop and receives feedback.
Included in the Train the Trainer Manual is a step by step guide to implementing the 16-Hour Learner Workshop.
The following is the link to the "Train the Trainer Manual" The size of the entire document is quite large.
The Train the Trainer Manual includes a facilitator's guide, adult learning and supplemental materials.It provides the following for each of the thirteen modules:
It is highly recommended that trainers who offer the BBC Learner Workshop have previously attended a Learner Workshop as participants themselves. The Learner Workshop should model the different teaching methods utilized and applied during the staff training Learner Workshop. Lecture-style methods alone have not been found to be effective in maintaining staff interest. Providing opportunities for interaction, elicits participants' concerns so that they can be addressed in a positive, supportive way.
If an experienced trainer is not available in your hospital or area, consider contacting other areas that have already implemented BBC. Often they will collaborate by offering an opportunity to a limited number of staff from outside their hospital to attend their BBC Learner Workshop so that these staff can later become BBC trainers for their hospital.

I have been bringing my dogs to work with for about 12 - 14 years, worked for the same company, a lot of the people that have worked with me for years know this. My dogs stay in a crate or insulated dog box, parked in the shade, when it is cooler outside, if it is going to be above 85 I don't bring them, they stay at home. I bring them water every two or three hours, I let them air when I bring it. The purpose behind this is, our company's parking lot buts up to a really nicely mowed field that is about 75 yards wide and 300 yards long. Allows for nice easy stretch out marks and provides a terrain change from mowed to thick thick cover on the edges and threw a couple of ditches, from flat to brush to flat again. I also have access to various bodies of water that I can use to run water marks that are 10 minutes from my work, I can go there during lunch, which is what I will do most times that I bring them. I probably do this, maybe twice a week, tops. But with it getting cooler and cooler I was going to make this a regular practice. Until......
I get an email from a concerned new hire, stating someone is leaving dogs in a box in the back of their truck and that the dogs must be provided shelter , water, and food and that I need to look into this ( I am a security manager). They stated they were going to call Animal Control to have them removed.
So I called Animal Control and the officer really didn't know the ordinances that well, quoted them, but meshed them together in a way that made no sense, so I researched them myself. According to City Ordinance I am clear, if I am interpreting them correctly
http://library.municode.com/index.aspx?clientId=10644 subpart A Chapter Six
1. My dogs have shelter when they are in the dog box
2. Water is given
3. Dogs are never here when the weather is too warm
4. My dogs don't have food 24/7 when they are at home, they are fed twice daily
5. They are on our private property only, they don't roam.
6. The box is not only insulated but well ventilated.
I like to take advantage of my free time, make the most of it, and I really like the field for young dogs learning to mark greater distances, not to mention it is an easier trip to nice working water. I am just floored after all of these years some newly hired employee wants to stir up some dust. HR and Facilities are okay with what I am doing, its just the fact that I have to even fool with this.

A group of scientists are gathering together to mark the 50th anniversary of the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI), and a main point of the discussion is searching for aliens here on Earth. I guess the movie Men in Black may not be too far removed from reality as we may think!

NEES@Berkeley Teacher Workshop Evaluation
Published on
NEES@Berkeley in conjunction with the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Center (PEER) runs an education program consisting of two components: 1) a lecture and activity session at the classroom of an interested teacher, and 2) a field trip to attend the PEER Earthquake Simulator Laboratory and NEES@Berkeley Laboratory at UC Berkeley.
The lecture includes-
- basic information about earthquakes
- explanation of why earthquakes happen
- discussion about professions (like engineering) that address the effects of earthquakes on our communities and buildings
- teaching key building systems and components that help buildings resist earthquake shaking safely
- instructions and background on the hands on activity of building a K'NEX structure
As a follow up to the lecture, teachers are given a kit that contains materials for groups of students to design and construct small earthquake-resistant building models. On the field trip students tour the labs and test their building models on a shaking table that simulates earthquake movements. For more information visit http://peer.berkeley.edu/education/k-12_outreach_program.html
This survey is provided to the teachers to assess student learning outcomes and to evaluate the effectiveness of the education program.

JT- it was no problem, really. Glad you finally have a McVader.
JT- it was no problem, really. Glad you finally have a McVader.
TRU Los Feliz has changed their hours -- they now open at 9AM. Which for me only meant I was a hour late to stare at bursting pegs full of 'warmers. They even squeezed some really beat-up ROTS Heroes & Villains figures into the SW section. Vintage pegwarmers! Also, the SW endcap in the clearance section off the entrance is gone.
Snagged the new 2-disc widescreen "Shining" at Best Buy next door. Woo hoo!
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

My TRU opened at 9am today, too. Of course I got there at 10am.
I found a crushed bubble GALACTIC HEROES Leia Endor and Endor Rebel Soldier. They were cool.
I missed Yoda in Luke's backpack and the Barada & Klaatu packs from GH but I think that's all the ones that are new this wave.
Galactic Heroes rock. I still have no idea why I buy them, why I like them, or why I chew on them, but nevertheless...
There was nothing else there but 1 CZ-4. I guess they got Wave 4 in, but perhaps it sold out in the first hour? CZ's coin was lifted.
Oh, they also had Transformers Voyager Blackout and Deluxe Scorponok 2-packs, but other than that, no new Transformers.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Got my Legends Droids from Hasbro today- and they threw in 2 IG-88 figures. Half of my droids are minty fresh, the other half have a slight curve on the right side of the card. So, I'm offering those three for anyone who wants them: TC-14, R4-I9, RA-7, plus 2 VTAC IG-88s.
Stopped in at the Valencia Walmart today and found a huge stock of new Legends on the shelf - lots of TC-14s, Biker Scouts, etc... and what to me wondering eyes should appear but bits & pieces of... Wave 7! I only picked up Tycho, but they also had the Spirit Anakin and Ewok-captured R2. No McQuarrie Han Solo which is really the only one I wanted when I first saw this wave at C4.
Called in at Wal-Mart Baldwin Park today, their Star Wars section is small and uninspiring (they have 2 full pegs of Death Star Troopers) but dig a little and I found some gold... a Concept Vader and a Gold Coin Fett. They also had Gold Coins of ANH Vader and Pilot Biggs, if anyone is after them. This was after lunch time (less than 5 hours ago) so obviously this store is not subject to the usual morning feeding frenzy seen elsewhere...
Long Beach Wal Mart...
Found RA-7's, 2 McQuarrie Vaders, 3 McQuarrie Snowtroopers, R4-19's, and a bunch of SL Scouts, also found 2 SL TC-14's, but that's another story in another thread LOTS of UGH r2's, mace and the prequel red snowtrooper looking guy (you can tell I'm VERY into the prequels HAHA) and the racks were filled with sandtroopers but ALL of them were super dirty orange paldron Also the usual suspects of wave's 4, 5 and 6. Anakin with his shirt off was there and yoda on the kybuck(sp?) as well. I don't stash cuz sadly, I don't have anyone to stash for but if anyone's ever looking for anything, let me know, I'll do my best to help!

1.9: Scientific Community
How does science monitor itself?
Computer hackers stole files and emails from the Climate Research Unit's server. These messages were alleged to show that scientists had a conspiracy to promote the idea of global warming. Government and scientific bodies investigated the charges and found no evidence of a conspiracy. Science is done with a great deal of quality control and nearly all allegations of scientific misconduct are found to be false.
Sharing Results
A hypothesis will not be fully accepted unless it is supported by the work of many scientists. Although a study may take place in a single laboratory, a scientist must present her work to the community of scientists in her field.
Participants share their results at a scientific conference.
Initially, she may present her data and conclusions at a scientific conference where she will talk with many other scientists. Later, she will write a paper to be published in a scientific journal. After she submits the paper, several scientists will review the paper – a process called peer review – to suggest further investigations or changes in interpretation to make the paper stronger. The scientists will then recommend or deny the paper for publication. Once it is published, other scientists incorporate the results into their own research. If they cannot replicate her results, her work will be thrown out!
Scientific ideas are advanced after many papers on a topic are published.
Scientific Integrity
There scientific community controls the quality and type of research that is done by project funding. Most scientific research is expensive, so scientists must write a proposal to a funding agency, such as the National Science Foundation or the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), to pay for equipment, supplies, and salaries. Scientific proposals are reviewed by other scientists in the field and are evaluated for funding. In many fields, the funding rate is low and the money goes only to the most worthy research projects.
The scientific community monitors scientific integrity. During their training, students learn how to conduct good scientific experiments. They learn not to fake, hide, or selectively report data, and they learn how to fairly evaluate data and the work of other scientists. Scientists who do not have scientific integrity are strongly condemned by the scientific community.
Nothing is perfect, but considering all the scientific research that is done, there are few incidences of scientific dishonesty. Yet when they do occur, they are often reported with great vehemence by the media. Often this causes the public to mistrust scientists in ways that are unwarranted.
- If science is done well, other scientists who replicate the same work will get the same results.
- Scientists peer review a scientific paper before it is published to be sure the work was done using the scientific method.
- There are lots of controls in science, including oversight of the projects that get funded.
- The checks and balances assure that nearly all scientists operate with a great deal of integrity.

did you save the photo to your hard drive?
did it have her helmet off?
Yeah her helmet was off, there were a couple of pics like 4 or 5 I believe.
Sorry didn't save the pics to my hard drive.
so, new head? or old re-hash from the 3 pack?
remember, first rule of fight club is to save everything to your hard drive.
I don't have the old one, but by going by a pic I believe it's a new head, but I'm not sure.
here's the old one:
i've seen mock up photos of the new one, but with the helmet on.
I don't remember the details on the old one as mine has been in storage almost since I got it. But I saw pics (sorry no attachment) that leave me disappointed for now. I hope they were bad pics.
My wife treats me like an ATM machine. She pushes my buttons until I give her money.
Nevermind, now that won't work. It only works if I restart my computer. I tried attaching a pic but it said it was to big

New Zealand-born to Dutch immigrant parents, Yvonne Lindsay always had a deep fascination with the written word (when she wasn't daydreaming!). An avid reader, Yvonne was introduced to the joy of romance books at the age of thirteen by an elderly neighbour. At the age of fifteen, totally inspired by the books she'd read, she tried her hand at her first romance novel (an abysmal attempt which still remains shrouded in dust, somewhere!).
After many scribblings, years, secretarial and sales rep jobs, marriage to her "blind date" hero and two kids later, Yvonne heard the wonderful Harlequin Mills & Boon author Susan Napier speak at a local writer's group. She mentioned Romance Writers of New Zealand and its contact details. At first Yvonne couldn't believe there was a group for people like her but after about a year she plucked up the courage to join RWNZ and spent several years working on the RWNZ committee. For Yvonne, the sheer bliss of meeting with other people with the same dreams and aspirations was indescribable.
Eventually she learned that to really be a writer you had to actually finish a book, so she did and won a few awards along the way, including the Romance Writers of Australia 1999 Emma Darcy Award and the Romance Writers of New Zealand 2004 Clendon Award. After thirteen years of submissions and rejections, Yvonne sold a Silhouette Desire story in 2005a line she's always loved to read and one she's genuinely thrilled to be a part of.
Yvonne remains a firm believer in the power of love and romance in all walks of life. She can be contacted via her Web site www.yvonnelindsay.com or e-mail her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hydroponic is a cross-architecture cross-OS game platform. It provides:
- A common target for which to compile games. Hydro
is implemented as an object server, similar in concept to
CORBA. The best way to make a game for the platform is to
design either a PlugIn (discussed later) or to create
a privileged client for the Hydroponic server that feeds it
the necessary commands and data. Each has its advantages and
- PlugIns are faster, since they directly interact with the object environment; the speed advantage can be considerable.
- Privileged clients have the advantage of being able to reload themselves without an interrupt in server service. They also allow you to run a customized Hydro server without compilation ability on the host machine.
- PlugIns. The idea of the plug-in should be familiar to most programmers and software users. The special thing about Hydro plug-ins is that they may either be in the host environment's native dynamic library format (.so/.dll) or in a generic Hydroponic plugin format usable on any platform.
There are lots of other neat things about Hydro, but that's a topic for later diaries -- I need to go work. :)
Until next time, -- djur

Heartburn is a painful burning feeling just below or behind the breastbone. Most of the time it comes from the esophagus. The pain often rises in your chest from your stomach and may spread to your neck or throat.
Pyrosis; Non-cardiac chest pain
Almost everyone has heartburn sometimes. If you have heartburn very often, you may have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Normally when food or liquid enters your stomach, a band of muscle at the end of your esophagus closes off the esophagus. This band is called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). If this band does not close tightly enough, food or stomach acid can back up (reflux) into the esophagus. The stomach contents can irritate the esophagus and cause heartburn and other symptoms.
Heartburn is more likely if you have a hiatal hernia. A hiatal hernia is a conditions which occurs when the top part of the stomach pokes into the chest cavity. This weakens the LES so that it is easier for acid to back up from the stomach into the esophagus.
Pregnancy and many medications can bring on heartburn or make it worse.
Medicines that can cause heartburn include:
Talk to your doctor if you think one of your medicines may be causing heartburn. Never change or stop taking medicine without talking to your doctor first.
You should treat heartburn because reflux can damage the lining of your esophagus. This can cause serious problems over time. Changing your habits can be helpful in preventing heartburn and other symptoms of GERD.
The following tips will help you avoid heartburn and other GERD symptoms. Talk to your doctor if you're still bothered by heartburn after trying these steps.
First, avoid foods and drinks that can trigger reflux, such as:
Next, try changing your eating habits:
Make other lifestyle changes as needed:
If you still do not have full relief, try over-the-counter medications:
Get urgent medical care if:
Call your doctor if:
Heartburn is usually easy to diagnose from the symptoms you describe to your doctor. Sometimes, heartburn can be confused with another stomach problem called dyspepsia. If the diagnosis is unclear, you may be sent to a doctor called a gastroenterologist for more testing.
First, your doctor will do a physical examination and ask questions about your heartburn, such as:
You may need the following tests:
If your symptoms do not get better with home care, your doctor may prescribe medicine to reduce acid. These are stronger than over-the-counter medicines. Any sign of bleeding will need more testing and treatment.
