Statewide program calls for residents, visitors to vote for their favorite revolutionary towns, destinations and attractions
(Hartford, CT) June 12, 2014 – Today Connecticut launched the second-annual, award-winning Connecticut still revolutionary Fan-Favorite Town program. The socially-driven program calls for people to vote for the town that they think most embodies the spirit of the state's brand, Connecticut still revolutionary — a haven for original ideas and innovation that offers a dynamic blend of experiences. Participants will also have the opportunity to vote for their favorite business, destination or attraction within that town. The program launches on the heels of the state's new summer tourism advertising campaign, "Revolutionary Thoughts," which highlights the diverse array of experiences that Connecticut offers within close proximity.
The winning town and destination will receive bragging rights for all of 2014 along with promotional support from Connecticut's Office of Tourism. For each vote cast, residents and visitors will be entered to win a ZIP to ZEN getaway to Niantic, the 2013 Connecticut still revolutionary Fan-Favorite Town of the Year.
"The Connecticut still revolutionary Fan-Favorite Town program allows us to celebrate and promote the incredible breadth of experiences and unique towns that the state has to offer – from seaside escapes to bustling cities and scenic trails," said Randy Fiveash, director of the Connecticut Office of Tourism. "By shining a spotlight on the places and spaces across the state that are treasured by our most passionate residents and visitors, we hope to inspire even more people to discover and enjoy Connecticut this summer and beyond."
Towns and destinations with the most votes will be announced on a weekly basis along with weekly itineraries, featuring unique pairings of experiences inspired by Fan-Favorite Town leaders. Participants are encouraged to vote every day on the Visit Connecticut Facebook page through July 25. Each vote counts as a chance to win the ZIP to ZEN getaway to Niantic, which will offer the grand-prize winner the opportunity to find their ZEN with a four-night stay at the Inn at Harbor Hill Marina and a $100 gift card to Grace boutique, as well as time to ZIP around town and explore neighboring Waterford, courtesy of Niantic Bay Bicycles.
Last year, the 2013 Connecticut still revolutionary Fan-Favorite Town of the Year, Niantic, a small Connecticut village located along the shore of the Long Island Sound, and the Inn at Harbor Hill Marina, captured the hearts of voters and were rewarded with advertising and promotional support from the Connecticut Office of Tourism.
In addition to bragging rights, this year the town and destination with the most votes will receive:
- Advertising support from the Connecticut Office of Tourism
- National and in-state public relations support
- Editorial feature in the 2015 Official Connecticut Visitor's Guide
- Week-long social media feature across the Connecticut Office of Tourism's social channels - an audience of more than 200,000
- Honorary plaque
Residents are encouraged to get out and experience their favorite towns and destinations this Saturday, June 14, during the 10th annual Open House Day event. As part of the statewide event, more than 175 destinations are providing special offers for residents, from free state park admissions and boat cruises, to discounted spa services and more – making it the perfect opportunity to discover a new favorite town or destination and then cast a vote to support it.
Those not on Facebook can also vote by going to the Connecticut Office of Tourism's website or by mailing a hard copy entry. For more details on this year's Fan-Favorite Town program or imagery, as well as additional information on Connecticut events, trip ideas and exclusive deals check out www.CTvisit.com and follow Connecticut on Twitter @CTvisit.

My first VAX S5 lasted all of a 3 weeks before I sent it back! It leaked terribly from the bottom leaving puddles everywhere. It was replaced, I started using it again and the same thing started to happen again so I put it in a cat litter tray to drag it around without water all over the floor. When the VAX gets hot over long use the doors will not close, the hose gets itself in a horrid twist and the i found that the whole experience frustrating. Refilling once the chamber is empty can be very dangerous as the twist cap gets so hot and steam releases.
Steam cleaning is a great way of getting rid of doggy smells, puppy urine etc. Its a great way to clean. If only steam cleaners where man enough for the job. Needless to say I sent this one back after a couple of months also. I now have an upright Bissel which cleans the floors brilliantly, easy to use, however I am now looking to find a hand held to do windows, skirtings puppy pens etc...............etc........

Two Major Debian Releases In One Day 189

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Testing ran fine, but what do I do now? Do I have to do anything special to stay on Debian Etch, I mean 4.0? Or is such a thing not possible.
It depends on your
Each line will either end with the word "Etch" or "Testing".
If it ends with Etch, then you will stay with Etch (Stable).
If it ends with Testing, then you will start getting the new Testing packages.
Probably the best thing to do is to stay with Etch for a couple of months while the new Testing settles down, then dist-upgrade back to Testing.
The reason I suggested staying with Etch for a little while is that there is likely to be some breakage in Testing as the backlog of Unstable updates move into Testing. For newbies (like the GP), this can be disconcerting.
If it's only a couple of months, the dist-upgrade back to testing isn't likely to be too big of a deal. I think Testing is the sweet-spot for the desktop, so it makes sense to be there, but Testing can be a little unstable immediately after a release.
Debian is one of the great old distros that just keeps getting better and not by adding frills. It is a large distro on many architectures supported by package managers from around the world. It is not hard to install as the reputation was. It is huge with many thousands of packages all smoothly (well, mostly
One of the neat features of Debian Etch is the smooth set of packages for installing LTSP (See http://ltsp.org/ [ltsp.org] ). One can go into a school on the weekend, set up a server and support all the old equipment as thin clients whether they be iMacs, i386, i486, P-what-evers and manage hundreds of accounts by Monday.
I have been using Testing for a couple of months and there are few bugs. Nothing has prevented me from using it in production.
Congratulations, Debian.org!
Solaris doesn't work on my Athlon 64 hardware. It doesn't recognize the SATA controllers nor does it have a 3d accelerated X-server with my graphics card.Why not run Solaris on those boxes?

Um JQuery is JavaScript
Can you use normal JavaScript with JQuery? Yes
"colliding" happens when two or more codes use different Globals (global variables or functions) which have the same name. There might be JQuery and a custom code, or two custom codes, or 2 or 3 different codes. It does not matter if it is about JQuery or prototype or some codes you have downloaded from somewhere.

Kathleen Kennedy to Receive Pioneer of The Year Award
Kathleen Kennedy will be this year's Pioneer of the Year honoree, the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation said Wednesday.
The prolific producer and co-chair of Lucasfilm will receive the tribute during a charity dinner coinciding with CinemaCon, the annual gathering of theater owners in Las Vegas. The convention runs April 15-18.
Last year, Kennedy was handpicked by George Lucas to lead his company; Lucasfilm has since been bought by Disney, with Lucas stepping aside. Kennedy is now in the midst of relaunching the Star Wars franchise, bringing aboard J.J. Abrams to direct.
THR COVER: Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy on 'Star Wars,' 'Lincoln' and Secret J.J. Abrams Meetings
Kennedy also is in the midst of the awards campaign for Steven Spielberg Lincoln, which she produced. She's produced numerous Spielberg films via the production company she ran with her husband, Frank Marshall.
"We are extremely grateful that Kathleen will accept this well-deserved honor and help raise funds for the Motion Picture Pioneers Assistance Fund. She is the embodiment of what makes this industry so special -- a passion and dedication to the creative process and the desire to assist those who need a helping hand," said Chris Aronson, president of the Pioneers Foundation and president of domestic distribution at 20th Century Fox.
The Pioneer of the Year dinner -- an industry tradition for 70 years -- honors leaders of the motion picture industry and within the philanthropic community. Past honorees include Jeffrey Katzenberg, Sherry Lansing, Dick Cook, Sumner Redstone and Alan Horn. Proceeds from the event go to the Motion Picture Pioneers Assistance Fund (MPPAF), an industry charity that helps movie industry veterans who are encountering an illness, injury or life- changing event.

How and when to ship Liatris.
I have very prolific liatris or Gayfeather which has reseeded generously. I've offered to dig up some of the tubers/bulbs and send them to a fellow Gardenweb member. Can I dig them up any time? Or should I wait until as late in the season as possible to allow them to go dormant. And if I dig up first year seedlings, should they bloom next season? Mine are all in a large grouping, so I don't know how old they are when they first bloom. I'm thinking there are small blooms the second year. Any information would be appreciated. Especially how to ship them. I'd probably ship in shredded newspaper and a small box.
Hi Docmom,
I'm sorry that no one has replied before now. I'm not all that familiar with Liatris, but possibly you will find your answers at the link below.
From the link below:
Planting too deep will result in no plants at all, which I can attest to from raw experience. My first planting of a bag of 30 Liatris corms resulted in about 5 blooming plants because I didn't read the directions and then compounded the problem by laying heavy mulch on top. Bury the corms no more than 2 inches below the soil line and less if you are using mulch.
If you have in mind to share them with a member in a colder zone, I'd think that time is running out, since they are to be planted so shallow. They will need some time to root in so that they don't heave out of the ground with the many freezes and thaws in the colder zones. If mailing to a colder zone, it might be best to wait and send them in early spring.
Hopefully others will have some input.
Here is a link that might be useful: Liatris

[artist id="3187077″]Justin Bieber[/artist] had girls going insane last week when he announced that he would be flying out five lucky fans to the premiere of his 3-D flick, "Never Say Never," which hits theaters in February. So, when MTV News got a quick second with the singer at Z100's Jingle Ball on Friday, we decided to get him to weigh in on what he's seen of the Jon Chu-directed movie .
"Basically it's gonna be, we're going to be flying kids out," he said about the contest, before turning his focus on the film itself. "I haven't seen any of it [really]. I've seen like a little 10-minute reel, but that's about it … Yeah [it was in 3-D]. It's amazing!"
Bieber also has been tweeting about his excitement over "Never Say Never," which will include concert footage and interviews. "@jonmchu how is the movie doing? Excited to see the rough cut. Feb 11th is coming fast! #NeverSayNever3D," he wrote over the weekend. "Alright. got to get some sleep. show in Pittsburgh tomorrow. @jonmchu excited to see the movie man."
Chu also took to his Twitter over the weekend to get the buzz going for the film. "@justinbieber the movie is __________!!!!! It has been such a fun ride and I can't wait for u to see what we got for the world," the director wrote to the pop star. "@justinbieber if u hate it it's [your manager] @scooterbraun's fault. if u love it tell @paramountpictures 2get me a purple Segway 2ride around the lot on … Im Already known as the BieberFreak director on the lot … Imagine if I got My purple Segway and purple glasses.

parrots feather out of control
I have a large man made pond in the yard about 15ft deep and about 100x100.Two years I got the bright idea to add some parrots feather to it and it got out of control.It dies off in the winter but comes back in the summer.How can I prevent it from coming back?It takes over so bad that I worry about the oxygen levels for the fish plus it look terrible..please help! Thanks.
Hey there. The parrots feather will not deplete the oxygen levels in the pond in the summer at least. It should get filtered out or dredged before there is an ice cover. It is unusual for it to survive in your zone. Are you sure of the ID? Please tell us more about your pond. It is an unusual size for this forum and must present problems we don't often discuss. Sandy
Parrot feather is interesting. I have it in our stream and it works great as a summer filter. It certainly is aggressive. I pull it all out in November each year, leaving roots for the next year. It comes back very well each year. I'm glad I have a liner under the stream.
If you get some 100'x20' ($80 or so) black plastic sheet, blot out light from the parrots feather and kill the bulk of it off, at the rate of 1,000 sq ft at a time.
Do it when its mild and oxygen levels are good, the decomposing plants will consume oxygen levels. You may need to aerate the water when that lot breaks down
A rake would be usefull to pull out the stray bits that might spring up
Thanks for the response guys..I see it's been awhile since I posted the question.I have a large farm pond,but we don't farm it's just used to fish and the doggies like to swim in it.It's too big to just go in and rip out the plants and I have made all sorts of contraptions to rake out the stuff,but it's just too big of a job.
I decided to get some aquacide pellets and it sorta worked but it looks like we are going to need to put in multiple treatments.The pond is just too taken over by this stuff and it's so thick.I guess I'll just have to keep trying these pellets and hopefully one of these years it goes away.Never again will I put ANY kind of plant in my pond without reading all I can about it.It makes me so sad to look out and see how consumed the water is by this stuff.Thanks for all the responses!
I use them as a filter in my pond also but I use a square skimmer basket that I cut slits into the sides and push the roots into the center of the overturned basket. I then put a rock as a weight on top. Never had any problem with them. I take the whole thing out in the fall.
Never plant parrots feather, in koi ponds or larger...its like injecting a human with the HIV virus. It will take over in no time and you'll never get rid of it. Birds will transfer it from one body of water to the next. You are retarded if you plant it.This plant must be BANNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ mckool: Well. We must be doing something wrong. I'm a couple hrs south of Atlanta and mine barely survive in season and certainly don't *grow*, much less overwinter. While I appreciate the look & the function, I'm done wasting my hard-earned dollars on it.

Aitgotaclue, I have slight reservation with your penultimate para. Words and scripts (ie culture itself) only evolve organically and over time, through fermentation, from daily use by people. Once dead, they remain extinct. No amount of scholarly efforts would bring them back to life again.
Guide #2. Compare literacy rates among countries (take UN's Human Development Report, UNESCO publications, World Bank etc). There is no co-relation between literacy and writing system. Indeed, it's the spread of primary education.
China used to be called the country of characters. They evolved over thousands of years, their use spread to ancient East Asia. They are unique and beautiful, an essence of the Chinese culture and civilization.
CCP/PRC destroyed them at whim. If it is not barbaric, what is it?
The most basic scientific/rational guide to interpret results is to compare results when everything else being the same with just 1 variable different in 2 results... 1 common fallacy is to attribute simplified Chinese to a rise in literacy.
Well, look at Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. They achieve near-universal literacy in less time than China. Despite the use of traditional Chinese characters.
The most dominant factor isn't simplified vs. traditional characters --- it is simpler than that. Can you guess? "More kids attending school and receiving an education!", that's what.
One other thing to consider: a modern literate Chinese knows on average 3000~5000 characters only. The # of simplified Chinese character set? 500~550 characters. That's 20% of less.
Look at it this way: if you only know those 550 characters, you are still illiterate, period. Do a simple exercise: take any Chinese article and punch a hole where the characets have not been simplified. What do you end up with? Well, you would be like a paleontologist looking at a few remnants of dinoasaurs skeleton :-)
Chebapi,ha ha ha. I like it.
More insidious than the simplification of the written script is the simplification of thinking and feelings. Compare a pre-war novel with a post-revolution one and you will find that there are words that have disappeared together with their meaning, because they have no equivalent simplified script and are too much trouble to learn and to print. Perhaps the feelings were too petty-bourgeois and politically incorrect. Many writers were hounded to their deaths during the cultural revolution for using some of those words, or expressing some of those sentiments.
Often, two different words with a common overlapping nuance are replaced by a single word, and the non-overlapping nuances are lost and no longer understood. Tento (April 25, 2009 11:33) cited a few examples of this phenomenon.
We should be less hung up about which script is used, so long as they contribute to effective communication and thinking. It is more critical for scholars to reach back in history and dig out some of the neglected words, to use them and bring them back to life again.
Traces of these words can be found in many dialects, but not in putonghua. Words which were brought into being as a result of human experience, pregnant with human frailty, words that are pungent with sweat and tears and gory with the blood of history. They should not disappear simply because they are too complicated for our lazy modern ethos.
freedomelover, you are a reactionary and a counter-revolutionary, an obstacle to the People's Progress - your lot will be the first ones up against the wall when the revolution comes again.
(Where is a tag for half sarcasm?)
That's a typical shallow and false utilitarian argument promoted in Japan by Japan Teachers' Union et al. In Japan, too, heartless and barbaric dismantling of cultural heritage, wisdom and beauty happened during the post-war confusion, leading to today's barren intellectual landscape immersed in mangas.
Wasn't the change to simplified characters accompanied/followed by a tremendous increase in literacy?
tento, well said!
I read traditional and simplified Chinese every day, and what irks me the most is how distorted some simplifications were.
Every single world has distinctive meanings and subtlety to it. The word choice is a big deal. It is like the difference between British English and American English. As illustration, "pretty" and "beautiful" both means something nice and also has its own distinct usage. Sure, a pretty woman and a beautiful woman seems much the same. But whereas you can say "pretty good", you won't say "beautiful good". Whereas "pretty trick" has somewhat negative conotation, but "beautiful trick" wouldn't.
But that's exactly what happened during simplification. Some characters simply disappeared and their simplified forms became some pre-existing (fewer-stroke) characters.
Look at it in this context. The old guards burned historical texts, shattered antiques, tried to do away with everything "traditional"... In such an environment, with the same people in charge, it would be naive to believe simplification took place in a rational environment.
The real sad truth is, European actually treasure and are proud of their heritage... but not the Chinese in 20th century. That's why you even have people running around, wanting to adopt roman characters. They hardly have any shred of appreciation of their own unique heritage.
The ugly truth is, simplification is quite a travesty... So badly done, even some simplifications were retracted by the Chinese government itself.
Abundance means lots of wheat, or rice, supplemented by (or even on the basis of, due to its nitrogen fixation capacity) beans. To replace it by one forlorn looking wheatgrass stem was an act of barbarism, only possible under a communism regime - another indicator that the PRC's recent claim of being the successor to the ancient Chinese civilization is indeed dubious.
Having said that, however, I fully support nondescript.
(Follow-up Comment)
Using a more traditional script would also allow greater commonality with Korean and Japanese populations. South Korea, after pursuing a deliberate program to phoneticize their language, is now re-introducing traditional Chinese characters into their national curricula. Japanese kanji, understandably, shares greater commonality with traditional Chinese characters than simplified.
The cultural power of this connection should not be underestimated. I have seen a sea-change in the attitudes of Korean/Japanese students towards China after learning Mandarin Chinese. The direct evidence of China's comprehensive cultural influence is eye-opening to them.
In the same vein, China should never attempt romanization, except as a pedagogical tool. Not only would it make Chinese much slower to read, but China would lose this valuable instrument of soft power. Thankfully, this is not being seriously considered.
I wholly support the use of traditional characters.
Often in the traditional vs. simplified debate, the distinction between "old" simplifications (pre-1949) and "new" simplifications (post-1949) are blurred.
As the proponents of simplified-script are fond of saying, Chinese characters are always changing - indeed, that is true. Very ancient and stylized scripts (such as those found on official ink-stamps), are often illegible to the modern reader. Over long periods of time, the script slowly changes form, usually through simplification. But the speed of this shift should not be overstated. A reader of traditional script should be able to read 15th century text with no difficulty, and should have nearly perfect character recognition to about the 4th century.
However, this type of simplification comes as a direct and practical consequence of repeated writing. As any native Chinese knows, repeated writing of the same stroke sequence causes an unconscious simplification. The lines slur together, in a process not unlike cursive. Chinese "cursive" calligraphy was deliberately cultivated as an art form. The resulting simplified forms are often used even in traditional-script populations, particularly in informal settings, such as letters or posters. The Japanese standardized kanji has formalized some of these simplifications.
However, despite these simplifications, the overall aesthetic structure of the character is preserved, and with it, the cultural and historical nuances of that character. All characters give hints to their meaning and origin.
In contrast to this organic process, the simplified script is a violent shift in Chinese characters, giving rise to new character forms that could not possibly have arisen naturally. The disconnect between the traditional and simplified scripts divorces the simplified script of its historical origins (indeed, this was one of its goals).
If the Chinese government wishes to change the script, I hope it does so in a way that returns a generation of Chinese speakers to this historical path, so that the evolution of Chinese script can continue through natural means.
I'm certainly the last person with a stake in Chinese script. I'm not literate in either, though I learned quite a lot of the traditional script while a student in Taiwan. As far as beauty goes, the traditional wins. Even mainland Chinese would likely agree to that.
I was merely saying that as a logistical matter, changing a significant number of established characters at this point would be impractical. I realize all languages change...Chinese is complicated by the fixed characters in a way that phonetic scripts are not. I'm certainly not worried...I'm sure everything will work out.
The government deciding that some characters need fixing seems a little top heavy to me. The change is already made, best to leave it be. Reprogramming computers, altering font sets, and reprinting textbooks can certainly all be done, but what value would be gained?
Things could only be changed "at the press of a button" with millions of dollars and man-hours of behind-the-scenes work. I do agree, though, that the differences can be easily discerned with only a bit of study. All the more reason to leave it alone, in my opinion.
Either way,
How would Chairman Mao have dealt with the International Financial Crisis? Do we now need someone like him to sort out the mess? Interesting thought.
Frankly speaking I don't know what the fuss is all about. Since most information is online it is easy to change the characters at the press of a button.
The only time you might get in trouble is reading road signs, restaurant menus if a Taiwanese goes to mainland China or vice versa. It will take most people less than a day to get used to the changes for day-to-day stuff.
I would like to reiterate what elgreengeeto said--the 2 systems are pretty close and it takes minimal study to learn to recognize one when you are used to the other.
I think the problem with Chinese (or so I've heard) is that school children spend much longer learning to read and write than children in alphabetized languages.
With any difficult language (think of German, for example) you can try to simplify, but if you simplify too much, people will not be able to read what their forebears wrote a few hundred years ago. Written Chinese could potentially switch to a phonetic form using pinyin and tone markers...although using pinyin alone is pretty clear.
How about native words? Is Mandarin, the spoken language, structured like the Chinese character/script?
I don't think the modification is necessary in that the status quo is already good enough.
The standard is already there and everyone knows it and follows it, and there is no misconception caused by the written form itself. Remember, language is premarily for communication not for appreciation as an art. I believe the more simplified, the better.
A lot of characters in the simplied form just came form the so called "cursive writing"(caoshu,草书),which arose out of the need to write faster. "cursive writing" is definitely an art, therefore, can its mixed-blood son aslo be an art?

* - Defending Champion
The PGA Tour returns to Ohio this week as Jack Nicklaus hosts The Memorial at Muirfield Village. Nicklaus won this event twice and now welcomes many of the world`s best to his course every year, two weeks before the U.S. Open. Last year, Justin Rose was coming off a tough week at Colonial, but he found his game at Muirfield. Rose opened with a 65 and closed with a 66 en route to a three-stroke win over Rickie Fowler. The victory was Rose`s first on the PGA Tour and he would go on to collect his second title less than a month later at the AT&T National. Rose trailed Fowler by four strokes heading into Sunday`s play, but soared past the young American, who stumbled to a one-over 73 in the final round. Fowler is still looking for that elusive first win, while Rose has racked up seven top-20 finishes this season. They are both in the field this week along with seven former champions -- K.J. Choi, Carl Pettersson, Ernie Els, Jim Furyk, Fred Couples, Vijay Singh and three-time winner Kenny Perry. New Masters champion Charl Schwartzel is the only reigning major champion in the field this week. This week and next are important for those outside the top 50 in the world. Those that get into the top 50 in the world on June 13 will gain entry into the U.S. Open. Among those outside the top 50 that are not already qualified for the U.S. Open, and playing this week, are Gary Woodland, J.B. Holmes, Steve Marino and Singh. Golf Channel has the first two rounds before CBS takes over on the weekend. The PGA Tour heads to Memphis next week for the FedEx St. Jude Classic, where Lee Westwood won last year.

Monday, 30 Nov 2009 12:14 PM
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Senate's healthcare bill would raise insurance premiums by at least 10 percent by 2016 for those independently buying coverage, but subsidies would reduce the actual costs for half of that group, the Congressional Budget Office said on Monday.
The nonpartisan CBO said the bill would have a much smaller impact on those who receive coverage through employer-based plans. Employers with 50 or fewer workers could see premiums go up slightly, but costs could decline by as much as 2 percent per worker relative to current expectations, according to Reuters.
Premiums for larger employers could be as much as 3 percent lower in 2016, the report said.
The report was released just as the Senate was set to begin debate on the sweeping overhaul. A major reason behind the projected increase in premiums for those purchasing their plans individually is that the plans will offer greater benefits than under current policies.
At the same time, more competition among insurers who would offer their products through newly created exchanges, where people would shop for and compare policies, will help reduce premiums in the nongroup market, the CBO said.
The report also said that proposed new fees on insurers and other health sector businesses would increase premiums slightly.
The report likely will be a topic of debate as the Senate prepares to tackle the healthcare bill. Senate Democrats face deep divisions within their ranks as they begin debate Monday on President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, with the recent all-hands-on-deck coalition frayed over abortion and the option of government-run insurance, the Associated Press reported.
While majority Democrats will need 60 votes to finish, some in the party say they'll jump ship from the bill without tighter restrictions on abortion coverage. Others say they'll go unless a government plan to compete with private insurance companies gets tossed. Such concessions would enrage liberals, the party's heart and soul.
There's no clear course for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to steer legislation through Congress to the president's desk. You can't make history unless you reach 60 votes, and don't count on Republicans helping him.
But Reid is determined to avoid being remembered as another Democrat who tried and failed to make health care access for the middle class a part of America's social safety net.
"Generation after generation has called on us to fix this broken system," he said at a recent Capitol Hill rally, according to the Associated Press. "We're now closer than ever to getting it done."
His bill includes $848 billion over 10 years to gradually expand coverage to most of those now uninsured. It would ban onerous insurance industry practices such as denying coverage or charging higher premiums because of someone's poor health. Those who now have the hardest time getting coverage — the self-employed and small businesses — could buy a policy in a new insurance market, with government subsidies for many. Older people would get better prescription coverage.
Most people covered by big employers would gain more protections without major changes. One exception would be those with high-cost insurance plans, whose premiums could rise as a result of a tax on insurers issue the coverage.
Moderate senators who will be critical to the outcome were already coming under pressure. The group Conservatives for Patients Rights began running an ad targeting 14 centrist lawmakers and urging voters to tell them to oppose a government insurance plan. The group is spending an initial $250,000 to air the ad for a week on CNN and Fox News Channel.
The Senate bill would establish government-run insurance but allow states to opt out.
The public is ambivalent about the Democrats' legislation. While 58 percent want elected officials to tackle health care now, about half of those supporters say they don't like what they're hearing about the plans, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll.
The Senate debate risks alienating more people because much of the discussion probably will revolve around divisive issues that preoccupy lawmakers, the AP reported.
"A large portion of the debate will be spent on issues that aren't important to the workability of health reform," said Paul Ginsburg, president of the Center for Studying Health System Change.
The debate should start off modestly, with each side offering one amendment. No votes were scheduled Monday.
Reid wants to finish by Christmas; he may not get to.
Of the many issues senators have to weigh, abortion funding and the option of a government insurance plan promise to be the most difficult.
On abortion, no compromise seems possible. On the public plan, a deal may yet be had.

Easter blessings from UCAN
Dear Reader,
There is no more important week in the year for Christians than this Holy Week. We call it Holy because of the mystery we celebrate - God's gift of His son who loves us to his death on Calvary and beyond.
Because of that love, we wish each other Happy Easter even when we know there is a lot of tragedy about it - Good Friday. As Christians, we know that what we see happening with and in Jesus goes to the heart of what we know from our own experience of life.
At the Second Vatican Council, the Christian lives we all lead were described as being shares in the Paschal Mystery. We have our share in the death and resurrection of Jesus every day. Our lives are part of the Paschal Mystery.
At UCAN, we work to describe that mystery in the unfolding tragedies and astonishing blessings of the people we seek out and report, feature and comment on.
While at times deeply distressing work, this effort of ours gets its coherence in the same way the death of Jesus did - because of the astonishing grace of a God who never gives up on life and love.
Because of that, we can wish you Happy Easter.
Best Wishes,
Fr. Michael Kelly SJ
Executive Director
Govt to set official poverty line
New administration hopes measure will help address wealth gapThe new measure of poverty is expected to help the new administration better assess poverty
- ucanews.com reporter, Hong Kong
- Hong Kong
- September 28, 2012
Christine Fang Man-Shan, a task force member and chief executive of the Council of Social Service, an umbrella organization for NGOs, told reporters Hong KongŌĆÖs first poverty line would better define economic status and help the new administration to tackle the gap between rich and poor.
Ho Hei-wah, another member of the taskforce, said ŌĆ£the poverty line will not label the recipients but help to find out where they are.ŌĆØ
Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, who took office in July, announced the initiative on Wednesday following growing disquiet over rising wealth inequality made worse by some of the highest property prices in the world.
Last week, the local diocese published an open letter to Leung calling on his new administration to take action to redistribute wealth.
The Gini co-efficient, a measure of the gap between rich and poor, reached its highest level in a decade last year, according to the latest figures published in June.
Law Pui-shan, a project officer at the Catholic dioceseŌĆÖs Commission for Labor Affairs, welcomed the announcement, noting that ŌĆ£it is the first step to measure and formulate policies to alleviate poverty.ŌĆØ
In the past, the government has used data on benefits claims as a rough measure of how many poor people there were in Hong Kong, but critics say there are many who fail to claim, often because they do not know that they can.
The Council of Social Service had typically calculated a figure based on half of the median monthly family income.
In the period May-July, this was HK$20,000 (US$2,657) per household per month, which would put the Council of Social ServiceŌĆÖs version of the poverty line at HK$10,000 or about $1,329 per family every month.
According to figures for the same period, there were 540,000 households in Hong Kong with income lower than this benchmark, just under a quarter of all families in the territory.

The Emergency Management Information Management System (EMIMS) is supposed to be an all-encompassing system for sharing emergency information, but it wont be the first system to make that claim. Heres a list of some other Homeland Security Department systems for sharing disaster information among government entities.Homeland Security Information Network: A system similar to EMIMS but for counterterrorism, the HSIN gathers information from major cities and all 50 states into a collaborative system for sharing threat information in real time. In May, Government Accountability Office officials testified that few people used HSIN. GAO said it was badly managed and poorly coordinated.Disaster Management Interoperability System: The DMIS analyzes National Weather Service warnings and forecasts and converts that information into a standard format for state emergency offices.Disasterhelp.gov: A disaster management information Web portal connected to USA.gov, Disasterhelp is a site for distributing information to Federal Emergency Management Agency employees, first responders and the public. The site uses DMIS software.Regional Information Sharing System: The RISS is a network of regional information sharing offices that distribute counterterrorism information. The systems functions are supposed to be integrated into HSIN, but that hasnt happened yet. Wade-Hahn Chan

As a child, I enjoyed watching the movie Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. It felt like I was on the tour being guided through the infamous chocolate factory that was finally open for public viewing. Each step they took, they discovered something new; who would have thought a place like that could actually exist. Well, today it does exist. Wonka's factory has become the Good Housekeeping Research Institute (to me at least). Here at GHRI were evaluating a range of products and providing expert advice to help our readers make wise purchase decisions. The Institute is truly a sight to see, and the great news is that we're opening our doors to you. Just like in the movie, you'll be able to get an exclusive insight of actual product testing, but don't worry; you'll make it safely through the tour. At the end, I bet you'll say, "Who knew a place like this actually existed".

The much anticipated Microsoft Surface Pro 3 release date will likely be alongside the launch of the Microsoft Surface Mini at a press event in New York City on May 20.
Microsoft recently posted on its Web site's support page something that references the "Surface Pro 3 camera." Considering it was a typographical error and Microsoft meant to mention Surface Pro 2, it still trails the news from CNET claiming that there is "definitely a new Intel-based Surface" apart from the Qualcomm-powered Mini.
"From what I can assess so far I think it's going to [have] a new power-optimized Haswell variant," a chip industry source told CNET.
If the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 release date will launch at the press event in NYC next week, the Intel-based tablet will come less than a year following its predecessor's launch. Thus far, the Microsoft Surface Pro release date windows still need to establish a steady launch trend. Microsoft has not officially commented on the purported Microsoft Surface Pro 3 release date, but rumours unanimously agree that Surface Pro and Mini tablets will launch at the NYC press event.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is rumoured to be a refreshed tablet with expected similarities yet slimmed down design from the already lightweight Microsoft Surface Pro 2 that weighs 2 pounds.
In the past, Surface Pro tablets were exclusively powered by Intel processors and Surface Pro 3 will be no exception. Moreover, the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 will likely get upgraded to the "Skylake" Intel Core i7 chip, which comes with the promise of a speedier device. Rumours suggest that the Surface Pro 3 will sport an impressive LED backlit Retina IPS display at 290ppi.
In the event that the Microsoft Pro 3 and the Surface Mini launch this month, it will buy Microsoft time to stay ahead of Apple's anticipated iPad Air and iPad Mini 3 release date this fall, which is important especially that recent rumours suggest that iOS 8 will sport the split-screen multitasking in the next models of upcoming iPads. Split-screen multitasking has been the competitive advantage of Microsoft tablets over the Apple iPads and it is pretty clear that Microsoft is prepping to launch tablets that will rival the Apple tablets.

US Embassy in Sudan warns Americans to leave
KHARTOUM, Sudan The U.S. Embassy in Sudan authorized nonessential staff and family to leave the country, saying Tuesday that protests against the International Criminal Court's indictment of the Sudanese president increased the danger of anti-Western violence.
Sudan's government expelled aid groups from Darfur and has accused them of cooperating with the war crimes court, which President Omar al-Bashir has described as a new form of colonialism.
The embassy said it has received information on terrorist threats aimed at American and European interests in Sudan. The embassy gave no details, but it has posted similar messages in recent years.
The United States and the U.N. have sharply criticized Sudan's decision to expel 13 of the largest Darfur aid groups in response to last week's ICC arrest warrant for al-Bashir charging him with war crimes in the war-ravaged western region.
Al-Bashir has rejected the charges and threatened to throw out diplomats and peacekeepers. Many fear the court's decision could spark more violence in Darfur.
"Recent protests have featured sharp anti-Western rhetoric. There is a continuing possibility that ongoing protests may encourage violent action against Europeans and Americans," a message posted on the U.S. Embassy's Web site said.
The embassy message said nonessential personnel and family members could leave Sudan if they wanted, and it warned Americans to avoid traveling to Africa's largest country.
The Netherlands-based court accuses al-Bashir of leading a counterinsurgency campaign against Darfur rebels that involved rapes, killings and other atrocities against civilians. Up to 300,000 people have died and 2.7 million driven from their homes in the conflict since 2003, the U.N. says.
President Barack Obama declared Tuesday that the violence in Darfur and inaction in the face of its worsening humanitarian crisis are "not acceptable."
Obama, who was meeting in Washington with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, said he wanted to send a strong and unified message with the U.N. to bring peace and security to the region.
"We need to be able to get those humanitarian organizations back on the ground," Obama said. "The United States wants to work as actively as possible with the United Nations to try to resolve the immediate humanitarian crisis and to start putting us on a path toward long-term peace and stability in the Sudan."
A Sudanese newspaper with close ties to the government published a statement Tuesday from several hard-line Islamic groups and Arab militia in Darfur sanctioning attacks on the court prosecutor and Darfur rebel leaders.
A U.N.-African Union peacekeeper remained in serious condition Tuesday after a half dozen gunmen opened fire on a group of soldiers in Darfur, U.N.-AU mission spokesman Noureddine Mezni said. The ambush in western Darfur was the first reported violence against peacekeepers since the arrest warrant was issued March 4.
Also Tuesday, Sudan's state minister for humanitarian affairs, Ahmed Haroun, said it was "premature" to talk about any gaps left by the expelled aid groups. The comments from Haroun come a day after the U.N. said it would try to fill life-threatening gaps but its agencies and other organizations don't have the resources to fully replace them.

My Memorial Day Table
I liked MM's Memorial Day Table table so much, it inspired me to do one. From 2012-05-25 (by Eye-Fi)
The dark blue chargers are trays from Dollar Tree spray painted.
The red chargers and glassware are from a variety store in my little town. The flowers are from the grocery store. From 2012-05-25 (by Eye-Fi) From 2012-05-25 (by Eye-Fi) From 2012-05-25 (by Eye-Fi)
TFLookin and have a wonderful Holiday.
Oh, now that is a patriotic table! What I really love on this table are your S&P shakers!...such a simple addition to the lovely vase of flowers centerpc! The t'cloth makes a good backgrd to showcase the placesettings! Happy Memorial Day, nana! TFS! Jeanne S.
Nana, I'm lovin' your Memorial Day tablescape. What a sweet job of layering your dishes. So crisp with your all your red, wht and blue on this one.
I'm going to go get my red centennial s&p shakers out for my table after seeing yours. Hopefully I'll get some pictures taken this weekend and share. I don't have any blue but both sets of yours are neat and look great.
I have to agree with Jeanne & Punk..you did such a
nice job on this table. I like how the colorful layering
against the white Tablecloth makes everything 'pop'.
I eyed those S&Ps too...They look vintage...are they colbalt?
I like how you always add that special detail of fresh flowers for
your tables Nana.....and, I'm liking your
idea of painting those DT trays...very clever and sure saves $ to get a nice look.
Thank you everyone.
Jeanne I decided use both sets of S@P' at the last minute. I'm glad I did.
Punk I was surprised at how easily this this table came together. It seemed to have it's own idea about how it wanted to look. LOL
Jane, The S@Ps aren't vintage. I like using fresh flowers when I can. The prices are reasonable at the grocery store.
and they always have seasonal arrangements. I hope you are able to get out and about more now.
Thank you sunnyca. I love when you pop in to comment.
Thanks luvs, the little bowls came from CTS.
How is your DH doing?
I'm lagging behind but Beautiful table Nana.
I love the plate layering and the little shakers.
I'm coveting your blue stemware as well. I've found several occasions I needed a set and haven't yet found one.
Very well done and hope you had a nice relaxing holiday weekend :).
I have to add a DITTO, the others covered it well. And you are good at the "Candy shots" ;o). Painting chargers is such a neat idea, especially since the dollar store prices can't be beat on them. The layering of the dishes, and of course the S&P's, are wonderful.
hugs, Karen

A lot of people have been connecting with me in recent weeks seeking clarity on the nature of inter-dimensional intelligences, so this seemed like a good time to whip together a little insight on some of the ones that I have encountered.
It's hard to put experiences with inter-dimensional intelligences into words. Referring to something like Jungian archetypes is a start, but it only seems to get us so far. In this sense we at least have a paradigm from our side of the veil to relate to such things, because some inter-dimensional intelligences can reflect elements of our psychic condition, but there are others that seem to express a definite independent sense of being and motivation. So if we decide to relate to such intelligences as an extension of our own conciousness reflected in a higher dimensional source that's fine, because we can at least start to contend with…
