Burmeister: Okung to Lions 'makes perfect sense'
Published: March 11th, 2010 | Tags: Detroit Lions, Gerald McCoy, Mike Mayock, Ndamukong Suh, Paul Burmeister, Russell Okung
Recent rumblings suggest Oklahoma State LT Russell Okung is on the Lions' radar with the No. 2 pick in the draft. While Okung took part in his pro day on Thursday, his bearing on how the top of the draft will unfold was a topic of discussion as Path to the Draft host Paul Burmeister chatted live with fans on NFL.com.
"It's been just a given in draft conversations that Detroit will take [Gerald] McCoy or [Ndamukong] Suh, but given the investment they've made in Matt Stafford, and the incredibly high rankings of [Russell] Okung … why not the left tackle?" suggested Burmeister. "I think it'd make perfect sense."
Burmeister discussed why the status of Okung — who also happens to be Mike Mayock's top-ranked OT — is so clear-cut.
"Okung's athletic ability and measurables are better than [Bryan] Bulaga's, and his four years of tape at Oklahoma State are strong, too," said Burmeister. "When you combine athleticism plus production, his upside is thought to be the clear cut, best in this class."
For more draft talk, here's a link to the full chat transcript.

Re: How do you... come out of the closet?
The best advice I can offer is to start by explaining how you feel before you use the word asexual. For people who may or may not have heard of it before, and may or may not be very accepting, I think it's easier to make them understand if you tell them what you're like before you use an unfamiliar ...

US Airways announced last month that it finished installing first-class sections on 110 US Airways Express Embraer E170/175s and Bombardier CRJ700/900s. With the addition of first-class sections on regional partners PSA, Mesa Air Group and Republic Airways, US Airways now offers same-class service to more than 85 destinations. The company began installing the two-by-one seating configurations on its Express aircraft in September and completed all aircraft in mid-December. All four aircraft types now carry nine first-class seats, with a 37-inch pitch in both Embraer types and CRJ700s, while the CRJ900s offer a 38-inch pitch. Seating capacity in the CRJ700s is now 67, while the CRJ900s hold 79 seats, the E170s 69 seats and the E175s 80 seats.

President Barack Obama on Thursday night announced that the United States would soon begin a humanitarian airdrop of food to a stranded minority in Iraq, threatening airstrikes should militants with the Islamic State in Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) advance closer to where U.S. personnel are stationed. Meanwhile, across the border in Syria, civilians are likely wondering why their four year-long struggle has not seen the same rapid response as the escalating crisis in Iraq.
Oubai Shahbandar serves as the communications adviser to the opposition Syrian Coalition's Washington, DC office. "It's been one of depression," he said, when ThinkProgress asked about the reaction among Syrians to Obama's announcement. There's a "level of frustration" both inside of Syria and among the Syrian diaspora, he continued, as Obama used the word "genocide" to describe the threat against the minority Yazidi community in Iraq.
"At the same time, while we heard condemnation and horror at the photos and the evidence from military defector 'Caesar' showing an industrial and systemic effort to eradicate tens of thousands of Syrian civilians, rows and rows of emaciated bodies," Shahbandar said, "we didn't hear a single viewpoint that declared this effort by the Assad regime 'genocide,' despite the eerie parallels." Last week, Caesar — the pseudonym of a former member of the regime — made the rounds in Washington, displaying the vast array of photos he had collected documenting torture and potential crimes against humanity at the hands of the Syrian regime.
The dismay that Syrians are feeling are likely similar to other groups around the world — from the Hazara in Afghanistan to the Rohingya in Myanmar — who have yearned for intervention from the international community, only to see another besieged group leapfrog over them in American priority. In the case of Iraq, though, there are a number of reasons why the White House finds it easier to launch a humanitarian intervention there than elsewhere:
1. The Iraqis invited us.
The biggest reason why the United States is more comfortable in launching this humanitarian intervention than normal is the fact that the Iraqi government has invited the U.S. in. Under international law, this is huge, as states have the inherent right to ask for help from other states in providing for their own defense. Within the United Nations Charter, this can be seen in Article 51 — which lays out the right to self-defense — as well as the fact that the U.S.' actions don't go against the article that forbids the use of force. Iraq's invitation also means that the U.S. can argue that it is acting under the second pillar of the Responsibility to Protect Doctrine (R2P). Though the doctrine is more known for promising to intervene in the case a leader ignores or outright infringes on the security of his people, the second pillar calls for the international community to respond swiftly to cries for help.
Iraq's request is even bigger from a military planning perspective. Across the border in Syria, the U.S. would not only have to face down ISIS — which has been trying to eradicate that border — but the defense of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. While likely not quite as vaunted as they've been made out to be, Syria's defenses remain relatively formidable and would mean risking American lives to carry out any attack. With the Hazara ethnic group in Pakistan and Afghanistan, where the U.S. also is working with the state to launch military actions, neither government has invited the U.S. to take action specifically in defense of the minority as Iraq has.
2. Minorities have been targeted specifically.
ISIS' "campaign of terror against the innocent, including Yezedi and Christian minorities, and its grotesque and targeted acts of violence bear all the warning signs and hallmarks of genocide," Secretary of State John Kerry said in his statement on the situation in Iraq last night. "We can act, carefully and responsibly, to prevent a potential act of genocide," Obama said in announcing the mission. Christians have been swept out of Mosul and the Yazidi have spent the last week perched precariously on a mountain with little food or water, leading to the death of at least 40 children. In Iraq, it's easy to for the administration to draw a line between good and evil, in this case the oppressed minorities who have been forced to flee their homes on one side and ISIS' forces on the other.
This isn't the case in Syria, where one of the Assad regimes primary arguments for survival is the protection of minorities. Assad himself is an Alawite, along with most of his inner circle, and has been banking on support from other minority groups within Syria for support. In addition, there's the matter of the complex web of alliances and enmities among those fighting in Syria that doesn't yet exist in Iraq, where the lines are slightly clearer. So though the number of dead in Syria has reached the hundreds of thousands, including those who died from the Syrian government's blockade and starvation tactics, the plight of the Yazidi is more within the ability of the U.S. to alleviate.
3. Congress doesn't seem to be fighting back.
Last year, the Syrian government launched a chemical weapons attack that killed thousands of Syrians, crossing a red-line that Obama had previously laid down. In response, the Obama administration began laying out the case for launching airstrikes against positions in Syria, arguing that international norms and the word of the U.S. needed to be upheld. Congress, however, was quick to slam the brakes on that effort, arguing that their authorization was necessary before any new U.S. force could commence. The vote count soon slid heavily against Obama, with only the deal between the U.S. and Russia to remove Assad's weapons salvaging the situation. In contrast, Congress has yet to protest the actions, with Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) saying that Obama's proceeding with airstrikes "is appropriate."
4. Americans are in danger.
Though the plight of the Yazidi is getting top billing in the press, the main reason that Obama gave for authorizing airstrikes in Iraq was the protection of U.S. personnel from ISIS' advance. "In recent days, these terrorists have continued to move across Iraq, and have neared the city of Erbil, where American diplomats and civilians serve at our consulate and American military personnel advise Iraqi forces," Obama said. "We intend to stay vigilant, and take action if these terrorist forces threaten our personnel or facilities anywhere in Iraq, including our consulate in Erbil and our embassy in Baghdad."
At least 700 of the Americans in Iraq, however, are only recent additions to the U.S. presence in the country. Following ISIS' initial surge, the president announced that additional military advisers and security staff for the U.S. embassy would be deployed to the country in June. In addition, some of the personnel stationed at Erbil had already been moved from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad in what the White House at the time called a "temporary relocation." Senior administration officials told reporters on Thursday night that there were currently no plans to evacuate U.S. personnel from Erbil.
Shahbandar is holding out hope that the administration will heed the opposition's call to extend the airstrikes against ISIS into Syria instead of keeping them limited to Iraq. "Our message to the White House is that if you want a sustainable strategy that ensures that ISIS doesn't spread further in Iraq, you need to hit them in Syria," he said. "And if you hit them in Syria you need a ground game, which means someone on the ground that have been rising up against ISIS for the past few months," he continued, calling taking the fight to ISIS in Syria a "win-win."
But administration officials have already sought to quash such a possibility. "This was not an authorization of a broad-based counterterrorism campaign against ISIL," one official said on Thursday night, using the government's preferred name for ISIS. Calling the operation "geographically limited" to Iraq, the official noted that while the U.S. has been the largest provider of humanitarian aid for displaced Syrians "we have not seen a viable military option that is as clear and distinct as what we're doing to assist the Yazidis today and going forward in the days ahead."

BOOGERWOODS – SPOOKTACULAR: Celebrating 35 Years
October 18, 2012
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Boogerwoods started right here in North Carolina 35 years ago. A child who went to Bostian Elementary was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis and later passed away. Wayne Trexler and his brother started this "SPOOKY" trail in the child's honor. This trail started just to be fun and to give kids somewhere to have a good time without spending money. It was completely free 35 years ago.
Now the trail is up and helping those suffering from Cystic Fibrous. Tickets go on sale each day at 2pm and cost $15 apiece, however all proceeds go to help Cystic Fibrosis. There is also a ticket called a "Fast Pass" which cost $25 per ticket but there is no waiting in line for you with this pass. 500 tickets go on sale each day at 2pm, therefore plan ahead to get your tickets because they might sell out before you get there. The trail opens at 7:30pm and generally stays open until 2:30am. Every 6 minutes, groups of 10 go into the woods with their 2 tour guides and undergo the spooky experience. Each tour takes about 45 minutes to complete.
No rushing through the woods takes place here — each tour takes its time inside each scene and essentially becomes part of the scares.
This year the trail will be open October 19, 20, as well as October 25-27, with an encore on October 27.
Concessions are also sold while you wait in line, which includes hamburgers and hotdogs. NO alcohol nor drugs are permitted on the grounds because this is a family environment. There is also a movie showing during the wait in line. Regardless of rain, they will be there just to spook you!
Murder Hospital, Wrong Turn, Jeepers, and Saw Underground are just a few of the many new scenes inside of this haunted trail. Classics are to be expected as well, including Mine Shift, Boogerassic, Club Booger, Dollhouse, and countless others. Each person participating in this spooktacular are volunteers, and there are around 100 people participating this year.
SO are you ready for a SCARE??
Check them out this year for your Halloween!
Located at:
725 Phaniel Church Road , Rockwell, NC 28138

Investors are told all the time that no one can pinpoint a market top.
While nailing the exact top is practically impossible, the handwriting is always on the wall ahead of a market decline.
Fact is, there's no shortage of market precedent showing that market tops always occur when the institutions rush for the exits. And recognizing this action can save your stock portfolio from some serious hurt.
The warning signs pile up in the form of distribution days, higher-volume declines by the major stock indexes. Distribution is another term for severe institutional selling.
Institutional selling can be mild, or it can be intense. The mild variety might see the Nasdaq pull back 0.2% or 0.3% in below-average volume. But if volume is higher than the prior session, it still counts as distribution.
The more intense kind might see the Nasdaq crater 1%, 1.5%, 2% or more in above-average volume where the volume is higher than in the prior session. That's unequivocal distribution.
During market uptrends, a distribution-day tally can be found in IBD's The Big Picture column. It normally takes five or six true distribution days in a relatively short amount of time — typically four to five weeks or less — to cause problems for a rally.
A market uptrend can have staying power when distribution days are spread out, but when they start to cluster after a run-up, it can cause problems for an uptrend.
The Nasdaq's Day 9 follow-through day on Aug. 29, 2007, spawned a two-month rally for the market, but distribution days eventually became too much for the market to handle.
Between Oct. 11 (1) and Nov. 7 (2), the Nasdaq flashed seven distribution days. IBD's market outlook was changed to market in correction after the close Nov. 8. The Nasdaq went on to lose another 20% to 2155 — 25% off its peak — in a little over four months.
A high distribution-day count doesn't automatically mean that the market's headed for a fall. At the very least, though, a high count means that it's time to take some money off the table and get defensive.
Earlier this year, major averages were able to hold near highs despite numerous distribution days in the Nasdaq and S&P 500. The missing ingredient was broad weakness in leading growth stocks. It takes both for a market correction to gain traction.

Chiswick to Chair Department of Economics
Barry R. Chiswick, a renowned economist whose seminal research on labor markets and immigration has helped inform the nation's public policy debate, will join Columbian College in January as the new chair of its Department of Economics. A former economist on the President's Council of Economic Advisers, Chiswick comes to GW from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), where he served as a distinguished professor and founding director of the UIC Center for Economic Education.
"We are thrilled to have someone of Barry's caliber join our ranks," said Peg Barratt, dean of Columbian College of Arts and Sciences. "His scholarship will greatly advance our reputation as a premier research university, one that is engaging the world from the nation's capital on the pressing issues of the day."
Author of 14 books and more than 160 scholarly articles and book chapters, Chiswick's areas of interest include skill acquisition, the labor market adjustment and economic impact of immigrants and immigration policy, and the human capital and labor market behavior of racial, religious, and ethnic groups. His published public policy analyses have led to appearances before the U.S. Congress and consulting work for U.S. government agencies and international organizations, such as the World Bank.
"It will be wonderful to be back in Washington, D.C., at a university where students and faculty are fully engaged in the realities and impact of a global economy," said Chiswick. "I look forward to working with my new colleagues to enhance GW's research in economics and to educate the next generation of economists."
Chiswick received a PhD in Economics with Distinction from Columbia University in 1967, and has held permanent and visiting appointments at UCLA, Columbia University, Stanford University, Princeton University, University of Chicago, City University (New York), Hebrew University (Jerusalem), Tel Aviv University, the University of Haifa, and Ben-Gurion University. From 1973 to 1977, he was Senior Staff Economist on the President's Council of Economic Advisers. In addition, he served as chairman of the American Statistical Association Census Advisory Committee and past president of the European Society for Population Economics. He is currently Associate Editor of the Journal of Population Economics and Research in Economics of the Household and is on the editorial boards of four other academic journals. Since 2004, he has been the Program Director for Migration Studies at the Institute for the Study of Labor in Bonn, Germany.
Chiswick has received numerous awards for his work including a Fulbright Research Fellowship, the Senior University Scholar Award from the University of Illinois, the Carleton C. Qualey Article Award from the Immigration History Society, the Milken Institute Award for Distinguished Economic Research, the Marshall Sklare Award from the Association for the Social Scientific Study of Jewry, the 3M Economic Education Excellence Award from the Illinois Council on Economic Education, and an honorary doctorate from Lund University in Sweden.

Work will start on refurbishing York's public toilets today when Healthmatic begin a £663,000 upgrade.
The contractor will begin with the Union Terrace car and coach park toilets and follow with those in Nunnery Lane car park on March 31. Temporary facilities will be arranged or installed at both sites during the work.
The toilets at Front Street, Acomb, Coppergate Centre, Bootham Bar, Tanner Row and Silver Street will also be included.
The council expects that when the work finishes, all the public conveniences to have unisex cubicles and baby change facilities. They will all have 24-hour access, on payment of a 40p fee to open their gates, and an alarm cord for disabled users linked to a 24-hour helpline. Disabled users will continue to have access via a RADAR key for no charge.
City of York Council hopes the work will improve cleanliness and disabled access and make savings of £75,000.
It hopes the entry payment will cover the cost of automatic cleaning after each visit to complement daily visits by cleaners and help offset the cost of the refurbishment.
Healthmatic will also be responsible for maintaining the toilets.

The Dayton City council met on Tuesday, Aug. 13 to discuss city projects and plans. Before the agenda topics were discussed, Dayton Police Chief Rick Pietrzak said that he is looking for one part time officer, but requested that the city look into hiring two, should the budget allow.
Open Forum
During open forum resident Doug Banes raised the issue of the Diamond Lake boat landing which he has been working on for eight years. The city came to a conclusion to leave him in charge of the lot. Another issue Banes brought up was the third phase is the South Diamond Lake Road project. He brought to the council's attention that plan conflicts with the parks and trails and open space plan.
Next, resident Leroy Thieman spoke about an issue raised in a previous work session regarding the city's fire department. The particular instance he had heard about in work session was a call the fire department received and only sent one fireman out to the scene because there were not enough men. This was an issue he felt needed to be addressed on the web site. He agreed that the police chief needs more officers as well and said that he would be willing to be taxed at a higher rate if it meant having a full police and fire staff. He cautioned the city to look at their budget to cover the errors in the estimate for the sewer stubs as well. "The citizens can't work with you if we don't know what's going on," said Thieman.
Selma Stern spoke on the issue of Territory Road. She requested a written document from the city that they will only charge 5,000. 530,000 for curbs and lighting on the road which, in her opinion were not needed and were not affordable. Can't even pay the interest on that.
It was brought to the council's attention that the Sundance Woods plat does not include the golf course. City Administrator Bob Derus said that this does not influence Phase I of the project, but will effect Phase VI. As of right now the city does not have a signed development so they could not move forward with the contract. Details still need to be worked out and the city hopes to break ground in September. The city plans to revise the preliminary plat.
There was a miscommunication between the city engineer and council regarding the cost difference between a 4" and 8" service on Territorial Road to the Sundance Woods development. Originally the cost difference, as thought by the council, from a 4" service to an 8" service ,was $230. However each 8" service required a different manhole, which would cost an additional 10,000 per service for a total cost of $80,000. The question raised at the meeting was whether the city or the residents who want the upgrade from a 4" to an 8" service will have to pay the difference. The city discussed whether to keep the current city engineer on the Sundance Woods project or to switch to Wank Engineering. The Dayton council voted to move forward with the contract with Wank Engineering.
The water tower lease was another topic of discussion. AT&T plans to put eight antennae on water tower. Some of the concerns that were raised on the topic was whether or not other providers can use the antennas.

This item is no longer available.
Our take on the Sanus ACV53by Crutchfield's Ralph Graves
The Sanus ACV53 provides elegant and spacious storage for your home theater system. Made of high-quality hardwood and wood veneers, the cabinet presents a clean, modern look that works with any décor. The cabinet top can support a flat-panel TV with a screen size of up to 55" and weighing up to 130 lbs.
The shelves are vented to ensure proper air circulation throughout the stand, to help keep your gear running cool. And your system is protected behind two hinged glass doors. Mounted to the back is a six-outlet power strip, so you can run power to all your components from just one power cord.
Four shelves provide plenty of room for your components. The top two are adjustable, and the bottom shelf is pull-out, making it easier to add heavy components, or access to a turntable. Concealed casters let you move the cabinet easily so you can get to the back panels. And those panels can be removed without tools, so connecting your gear is a simple process. Two deep drawers provide storage for accessories such as remotes and headphones.

VENICE, Fla. - As the local population grows, local officials are looking for new development opportunities. In Venice, officials plan to vote on the future of two well-known landmarks in the city -- both on airport property.
The city will now look at partially tearing down the former Ringling Brothers arena, which sits on the northeast corner of Venice Municipal Airport property; and also purchasing the waterfront land Sharky's Restaurant sits on from the own airport.
Both properties have been a point of debate in recent years.
Those who have worked to save the arena say the news of tearing down some of it is better than the possibility of losing the whole thing.
Former Ringling Brothers performer Tito Gaona and the Venice Circus Arts Foundation have worked for years to save the old arena. "If we stick together and work together to save some history here, I think that was my goal," says Gaona.
He's still optimistic, even after Venice city leaders vote to potentially tear down everything except for its bones. "Remove the roof and the siding from the arena and leave the steel structure and concrete there," says Mayor John Holic.
Recently the city cited itself for the building's condition, referencing obvious building code violations and giving themselves a 60 day notice.
"I wish it would be a little bit better upkept." For those like Ron Petrucci, who see it every day, it is a not so pretty sight. He's still concerned though with losing a piece of history. "I hate to see history taken apart. I do enjoy that part. It does not bother me."
Gaona says it would lose a little something, but tearing out the wood and roof is something they likely would have had to do anyway. "At least they considered keeping the steel, keeping the arena, taking away all that stuff…and then that gives us a chance to say people step up."
However, Venice mayor John Holic says it doesn't necessarily mean the rest couldn't go soon after. "The remaining portions of that building would actually have some value as scrap. It would actually make the lot more valuable than it is today."
Gaona says with portions gone, they may be able to hold more fundraisers and events with tents on site. A drawing was even posted on the organization's Facebook page with how it could look. "I think they should clean it up, open it up and see what is really behind it."
Holic says they have recently learned they can spend money in the airport's enterprise fund for demolition. "I am a supporter of the arena, but I am also very much a realist. In the three year period since this has started, no one has stepped forward to put any sizable contribution to fix it up."
But for some the dream of saving the old big top -- at least in part -- still lives. "I still see potential. I do."
The city will now look at getting price quotes for a full tear down and a partial one.
As for the Sharky's property at the Venice Pier, the city will be buying the land Sharky's sits on for more than $2 million from the airport.

Terminator 5 has a lot of variables. Is Justin Lin directing or not? Depends on who you ask. Okay, is Arnold 'Governator' Schwarzeneggar gonna return to star? Depends on who you ask. Fine, Will it return the series to an R-rating? Abso-
Source: MovieWeb
"We can't really tell you guys anything about Terminator 5 . But it will be an R rated film as God and James Cameron intended."
Needless to say we won't be seeing Chuck Norris' participation in this particular film. Aside from that, why hasn't this project died yet? Sure I was semi interested in more Terminators a few yrs ago but then they went and McG'd any interest from me for this franchise. And it's not like Governator is getting any younger either. Seriously, do we really need another Terminator movie? Probably not, but the last movie made over $370 million on a $200 million budget. They don't care what we need.

Compensating for spin drift...

Gyroscopic precession, same as on a kids gyroscope, responds to any turning force applied to the spin axis by moving the axis at 90° to it. As the bullet flies, the fall due to gravity causes the trajectory to bend. If the bullet were to be pointing as perfectly straight into the path of the trajectory as possible, its axis would have to be on a line tangent to the arc. Precession, through the epicyclic mechanism, keeps working to correct the bullet point into the air stream, but with the arc constantly angling further down, it is never able to quite get there. As a result, there is always a very small upward pitch of the bullet off the trajectory, accompanied by a larger yaw angle to the side representing precession's 90° response to the overturning force caused by that upward pitch into the air stream.
The yaw in flight is called the yaw of repose. The faster the spin relative to the drag force on the nose pitch, the bigger that yaw angle is. In a right hand spinning bullet, the yaw is to the right (and vice versa). The yaw angle is typically on the order of a few thousandths of a degree, while the upward pitch is on the order of ten times smaller than that. So the overall angle off tangent to the curve is pretty small and mainly to the side. That yaw presents a very slightly sideways profile into the wind, creating drag that pulls the bullet to the right. The amount that drag moves the bullet by the time it gets to the target is spin drift. The even smaller upward pitch component creates a small amount of bullet lift, but it's so small it raises the bullet point of impact on the order of less than half an inch at 1000 yards.
As I mentioned, faster spin increases the yaw angle, so a fast spinning bullet sees greater spin drift than a slow spinning one. As Bart said, you can find calculators that take this into account. Some just assume a typical spin rate, but if you find one, like the
JBM calculator
, the PM Ballistics program, or QuickTARGET Unlimited, that asks you not only for muzzle velocity, but also for the pitch of your rifling as arguments, then you likely have the full calculation invoked. It's easy to test. Just declare zero wind speed and try different twists to see if the windage correction changes.
For example, the QuickTARGET Unlimited 2 DOF software says a 175 grain MatchKing at 2700 fps MV will have about 1.3 moa of spin drift between 100 and 1000 yards if fired with a 10" twist barrel, and about 1.0 moa of spin drift fired from a 13" twist barrel. It says a 155 grain #2156 SMK Palma bullet at 3000 fps from a 13" twist barrel will have about 0.8 moa of spin drift between 100 and 1000 yards, but the difference between 800 yards and 1000 yards is only about 0.3 moa, so adjustments over a typical Long Range course of fire isn't much.
Bryan Litz's point mass solver (PM Ballistics) disagrees with QTU by about 0.1 moa. It gives the #2156 about .7 moa at spin drift with the 13" twist at 3000 fps and at 1000 yards. The 175 grain SMK gets .9 moa with 13" twist at 2700 fps, and 1.2 moa from a 10" twist at the same velocity. The difference between the two programs appears due in part to how they estimate gyroscopic stability factor (they don't get quite the same number). I'd have to play with them a little more to find what else is involved in the discrepancy, but it's not much, and I think you get the general idea.

May 16, 2009[D2] How to start threads?
I just downloaded 2.030 and to my surprise (and dismay), the entire program compiled and ran without modification... It's a multi-threaded application! I've created the following ticket which may be the root cause of why things compiled without error. http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2992#c1 I'm not sure how this should be fixed, but I think it's a critical bug if we want to claim that D2 helps us address threading issues.

Mass. health insurers post big earnings
By Robert Weisman Globe Staff / November 16, 2011
Text size – +
The state's largest commercial health insurance companies, citing seasonal improvements in their business and a decline in medical claims tied to the slowing economy, yesterday posted healthy financial gains for the three months ending Sept. 30. But two of the four health insurers saw their third-quarter net income narrow from a year ago, when all reported strong increases over the prior year. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, the state's largest health plan, led the pack in the most recent quarter, ringing up net income of $78.9 million compared with the $75.8 million it earned a year ago.
