He called and left a message claiming his "friend" had come up with this email addy and that he wanted to place the order. He called back again later, and then called the next day wanting to get a catalog (must have been prevented from ordering by the ip address ban). I always recognized his caller id so didn't talk to him. Don't want his business. I am just wondering if others have had customers do things like this and if so how did you react? Just cancel the order? Ignore it? I know I over-reacted, but what should I have done?
A would-be customer entered an obscene and insulting email address in the form when ordering. Sometimes customers enter funny non-working email addys, but never one so insulting and nasty. I got so mad that I called him up and told him I would not fill his order and that I felt exactly the same way about him, only I used the words he used, and hung up on him. I have never sworn at a customer before. I voided the transaction and banned his ip address with Authorize.net. Yep, I was real mad.

What smoker to buy? Pellet vs Stickburner

It's hard to beat the flavor of an offset but as you know they require more tending. The WSM has a real good smoke flavor but for some reason different from a stick burner but is almost hassle free, the pellet popper doesn't have as strong a smoke flavor as most are accustom to so they usually end up using a smoke generator to strengthen the smoke flavor but are stinking easy to use and yes they do require an electrical source how ever it doesn't have to be from a wall outlet, they will run off a 300 watt power inverter or at least a Traeger will. Now you have the fuel costs to deal with. You can find wood almost anywhere for your stick burner and a lot of times it's free, now the WSM can use lump or briquettes both are easy enough to fine and usually can be found on sale at certain times of the year which means you just have to find wood chunks for flavoring which can be purchased at Lowes or Home Depot or you can cut chunks from the free sources stick burners use which leaves us the pellet popper, they will only burn the rabbit food looking pellets and they can sometimes be hard to find and are usually more expensive than charcoal or wood and if you find a cheaper distributor on line you'll more than likely have to pay a shipping cost which can make you wince a little unless you buy , oh lets say, about a ton of them then you may be able to get a brake on shipping. I like all of them, each has a place or purpose depending on my mood.

March 10, 2014
With UK's 77-62 win over Ole Miss on Saturday, the Wildcats ran their home court win streak to 50. Coach John Calipari has never lost in Rupp Arena, and with Vandy and Georgia the last two teams coming into the big house this season, it seems the Cats will run that streak to 52.
In this day, that's one helluva streak.
But where does it rank on the all-time list?
My Google search didn't turn up any "official" lists, but I did find this:
UK has the longest streak in history, when it won 129 consecutive games from 1943-55. The streak began in Alumni Gym and ended in Memorial Coliseum, when Georgia Tech knocked off the Cats, 59-58, on Jan. 8, 1955.
St. Bonaventure is second all-time, winning 99 straight at home between 1948-61.
UCLA, which once won seven consecutive national titles, is only the third school to reach the 90-plus plateau. The Bruins streak of 98 happened from 1970-76.
Rounding out the top five is Cincinnati (86 games), Arizona (81) and Marquette (81).
Ironically, the UConn women saw their 99-game home court winning streak end on Saturday, when St. John's took down the Huskies, 57-56, at Gampel Pavilion.

A wildly ambitious novel, a beyond-brave memoir, and an expansive modern history: We loved them from the first page and now that they've been honored with Pulitzer Prizes and National Book Awards, we'd like to re-introduce you.
Olive Kitteridge
288 pages; Random House Winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
"Don't be scared of your hunger," Olive Kitteridge always told her seventh-grade math students. "If you are scared of your hunger, you'll just be one more ninny like everyone else." Now Olive is retired, living out her life with her affable husband, Henry, in their small coastal town in Maine, and coming to understand that in spite of her efforts to subdue them, most hungers only intensify with age. Perceptive, deeply empathetic, and even more deeply flawed, Olive is the axis around which these 13 complex, relentlessly human narratives spin themselves into Elizabeth Strout's unforgettable novel in stories, Olive Kitteridge (Random House). "She didn't like to be alone," the narrator tells us shortly after a stroke confines Henry to a nursing home. "Even more, she didn't like being with people." This is the essence of Olive, contradictory, locked down tight, but capable of flights of emotion all the more heart-stoppingly beautiful because of their infrequency. As we meet the townspeople through her eyes—a young pharmacist widowed in a hunting accident, a feisty anorexic runaway, a family man building a boat too big to ever remove from his basement (to name only a few)—we feel acutely both the encroaching despair within Olive and the miraculous return of hope, "that inner churning that moves you forward," that "sudden, surging greediness for life." — Pam Houston

MOR singer/songwriter Melissa Manchester, whose father was a bassoonist for the New York Metropolitan Opera, began singing commercial jingles at age 15 and went on to become a staff writer for Chappell Music while attending the High School of Performing Arts. After taking a songwriting class at New York University taught by Paul Simon, Manchester took her talents to the Manhattan club scene, where she was discovered by Bette Midler and Barry Manilow; the two hired her as a backup singer in 1971. She recorded her debut album, Home to Myself, in 1973, co-writing many of the songs with Carole Bayer Sager. Released in 1975, Melissa produced her first Top Ten hit, "Midnight Blue," and set the tone for most of her career with its direct, slickly produced MOR pop sound. She and Kenny Loggins co-wrote the latter's 1978 duet hit with Stevie Nicks, "Whenever I Call You Friend," and the following year, Manchester returned to the Top Ten with "Don't Cry Out Loud." In 1980 Manchester became the first singer to have two movie themes nominated for Academy Awards (Ice Castles and The Promise); two years later she achieved her highest Billboard singles chart placement with the number five hit "You Should Hear How She Talks About You," which won a Grammy for Best Female Vocal Performance. Through the '80s and '90s, Manchester alternated occasional recording with scriptwriting and acting, appearing with Bette Midler in For the Boys and on the television series Blossom as the title character's birth mother. In spring 2004, Manchester returned with her first album in ten years. When I Look Down That Road, which included collaborations with Beth Nielsen Chapman and Keb' Mo', marked her first proper release with Koch. ~ Steve Huey

Homeopathic Medicine: Directions for Use
Back to
by Lauren Feder, M.D.
Homeopathic Pellets or Tablets
Homeopathic medicines come as round, chewable pellets or as quick-dissolve tablets, depending on the brand you purchase. Both types are sweet and pleasant tasting, which makes it easy to administer to children. When possible, avoid touching the tablets with your fingers. Use a spoon.
Adults and Children: Take 3 tablets 3 times a day or as directed by your practitioner. In acute cases, take every hour until relieved, Doses are the same for all ages. If no improvement after 3 doses, discontinue the remedy.
Taking the Remedy
When possible, avoid touching the tablets with your fingers. Use a spoon.
Adults and older children are encouraged to let the tablets dissolve under the tongue. Younger children can let them dissolve in their mouths.
Small Children
If your child is too small to chew the medicine, place 3 pellets in 1/2 glass of water and let stand for 5 minutes. If you are using the hard pellets, they will not dissolve immediately, but the water will become medicated. Stir ten times, and give 1/4 teaspoonful (or dropperful)
Eating and Drinking
Avoid eating or drinking 10 minutes (if possible) before and after taking your homeopathic remedy. With a baby or small child this is not always possible. Not to worry.
Substances to Avoid
During the time period that you are taking a remedy, it is best to avoid coffee, chocolate, camphor, eucalyptus, mint and other strong smelling substances (mint toothpaste is okay).
Persistent or Worsening Symptoms
If symptoms persist more than three days or worsen, discontinue the medicine and consult your doctor.
If no improvement after 3 doses, stop taking the remedy.
Improving Symptoms
As your condition improves, take your homeopathic medicine less often (1-2 times a day).
When you are substantially better, discontinue the medicine.
Storing and Traveling
If you store your kit away from electrical appliances, strong smelling substances and extremes of temperature, the shelf life of the remedies is greatly extended.
If possible, have your medicines be hand-checked at the airport, instead of going through the x-ray machine.

I don't know what you mean by progressing fine. Mutants were progressing fine until M-day. Feron and Fonji further prove my point, the Phoenix has shown interest in everything other than humans. It's quite clear the Phoenix considers them useless, and in all honesty it should. Their replacement is already exists.
The Detective was being a bitch; Ever been interrogated by a Cop before? They can come across as assholes. A woman had a head injury so you know she was covered in blood, they see a guy running away, they bring him in, in the course of the investigation they learn the woman is now perfectly fine and we learn the detective seemed to have an anti-mutant bias. Does that mean the police deserved to get their station crushed? How does that make the world a safer place?
I can ruin you with two sentences.
There is a clown watching you sleep.
He isn't smiling.
she was being a racist and abusing her power. it wont be tolerated.
My point was there would be no reason for the PF to intervene with humans because they were progressing fine. It intervened regarding mutants because their progression was artifically stopped by wonder. So I am saying I think it would have intervened if something had stopped human progression which nothing ever has.
And Fongjii is hald human I thought. Either way the PF has come to earth for shits and giggles before and yeah when it just wants to have a good time, red headed mutants with psionic power seems to be its preference. However, when it is coming to restore the balance I don't think it matters whether it is humans or mutants who need to be restored.
It's hard for me to listen to people not in my position. A caterpillar can't relate to what an eagle envisions.
"Let me go first Lorna. I'm their freaking King!"
All of you really need to stop raping me, btw.
Sweet, delicious drunk talk.

"Competency-based learning" (CBL) is one of the newest buzz-phrases showing up on education blogs and in many legislative changes in education policy. New Hampshire, for example, just changed its high school curriculum to competency-based learning. But what is competency-based education? According to one blogger,
"Competency-based education is fundamentally different from traditional higher education as we know it, rather than credentialing a student based upon 'seat time' or credit hour [duration of course] and assessment, the student is credentialed based upon demonstration of the knowledge and/or skills required to meet an established skill set (competency)."
I'm confused by this definition, because I teach in a traditional institution of higher education and it doesn't matter how many hours students spend in "seat time"- if they don't demonstrate competency in the course material though various kinds of assignments, they don't pass the course. I also find it a bit insulting to describe this new form of pedagogy as "competency-based," because it implies that traditional colleges have been churning out incompetents for hundreds of years, when that clearly isn't the case. This definition, then, is unsatisfactory.
Another description of CBL by Dr. Robert Mendenhall makes more sense:
"The most important characteristic of competency-based education is that it measures learning rather than time. Students progress by demonstrating their competence, which means they prove that they have mastered the knowledge and skills (called competencies) required for a particular course, regardless of how long it takes. While more traditional models can and often do measure competency, they are time-based — courses last about four months, and students may advance only after they have put in the seat time. This is true even if they could have completed the coursework and passed the final exam in half the time. So, while most colleges and universities hold time requirements constant and let learning vary, competency-based learning allows us to hold learning constant and let time vary."
This definition is more complete. Competency-based learning allows students to progress at their own rate, which will benefit not only those students who struggle with material, but those who sometimes feel burdened by courses that are too easy or don't allow them to maximize their abilities. Online learning, which relies extensively on independent work by students, is a great forum for CBL, because it is already designed to allow students to progress and participate at individual rates.
Current examples of CBL
Western Governors University offers an online competency-based program that is particularly geared toward professional learning:
"Each degree program is developed by a council of experts in the field who define 'competencies' students need to possess to graduate. These competencies form the curriculum. This combination of expertise in both industry knowledge and academics guarantees your degree will be relevant in your chosen field."
This will be incredibly useful to students interested in moving quickly into a career, or transitioning from one career to another. Similarly, students who are working full-time and trying to complete additional training or a college degree can work around their schedules and progress at the pace that best suits their learning needs.
Where I teach, the Math department has created a CBL option for students in need of remedial coursework before they can matriculate into college-level courses. Under-prepared students have long presented a problem at community colleges, and there is a great division among educators on how best to handle this, with some advocating the elimination of any remedial coursework. But that means that many under-prepared students may enter academic programs with significant deficiencies that prevent them from passing standard college courses, wasting both their time and their money.
This new program is designed to meet these needs by allowing students to work through modules at their own pace. Instead of enrolling in lengthy full-semester courses, if they complete their remedial coursework in just a few weeks, they can move into the college-level modules on their own, essentially mastering the remedial needs as well as their first introductory course in a shorter time frame. It will save those students time, money, and a lot of demoralizing frustration.
Concerns about CBL
As useful as CBL can be for many students, I do have some significant concerns about it. As explained by two educators of the Florida Virtual School, CBL
"…has its origins in the business world. High school graduates who decide to become a barber, for example, would need specialized training in cutting hair. They would take an assessment to verify competency before receiving a license to cut hair. In order to maintain global standing, industry and education leaders teamed up to create a description of elements for 21st century outcomes. These elements would identify those skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for our future work force to be competent in the 21st century market, much like a competency exam that a plumber, electrician, mechanic, or other trained and skilled professional would need in order to practice their profession competently."
Ah, now I get it. CBL is designed to meet the needs of the professional and vocational training, because the business world is famous for being innovative and emphasizing efficiency. CBL will definitely produce highly skilled workers, in their individual fields of endeavor. That seems like a perfect pedagogical match for a trade school.
Unfortunately, vocational training is not the only job of a college, which is designed to foster the intellectual growth of students in innumerable ways so that they have a broad base of knowledge and skills that will keep them in good stead no matter what career they chose (and here I feel the need to note that maybe more mastery of college writing would have prevented the subject-verb disagreement so clearly evident in the second sentence of the above quote.) Not everyone goes to college on a straight career path, and some are interested in a broader intellectual experience. I wonder how useful CBL will be for them.
I have two other concerns:
- What are we going to do with whole generations of students used to "personalized learning" when they go out into the working world to discover that the world is rarely geared to their unique needs? These students are going to be in a world of pain when they get fired because they think they're going to get all kinds of extra chances if they fail the first time. Let's face it: no business is going to spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours to train an employee who cannot master necessary skills. This begs the question: should schools be expected to employ CBL if businesses won't? What about the potentially huge amounts of time and money it will take for some students to master material? How will this be paid for and managed?
- Not all students and not all courses may be a good fit for CBL. Some students do not learn well in isolation or independently, and flourish with group interaction, when listening to and asking questions of a scholar-expert. In other words, skills are not the only things gained in college. For those for whom college is more an intellectual endeavor and less a business plan, CBL may feel isolating or unfulfilling.
For online students, though, CBL may be the way to go. Instead of enrolling in a timed course, with specific due dates and limits, they can take advantage of the technology of online education to practice their skills until they master them. This can create a wealth of new opportunities for students everywhere-and isn't that supposed to be one of the benefits of technology in the first place?

The USGA Handicap System™ enables golfers of all skill levels to compete on an equitable basis. This section of the site will help golfers understand why having a Handicap Index® is important. There are links to "The USGA Handicap System" manual, the USGA's handicapping equivalent of "The Rules of Golf", and a Course Handicap™ calculator to allow players to convert their Handicap Index to the Course Handicap for any course that has been properly rated. Articles and resources are available for anyone interested in starting a golf club or for current Handicap Committee chairmen who need assistance in maintaining handicaps for their respective clubs. The current version of the USGA Handicap System went into effect on Jan. 1, 2012, and the next revision will take effect on Jan. 1, 2016. Any modifications to the System are noted on this Web site.

Section 14 INSTALLING COURSE RATINGS IN A REGION
Within each section, all defined terms are in italics and are listed alphabetically in Section 2 - Definitions.
14-1. Authorized Golf Associations to Rate Courses
All courses must be rated in accordance with USGA approved procedures by a course rating team representing an authorized golf association. A course rating review Committee established by the authorized golf association must evaluate each rating. If more than one authorized golf association covers the same territory, a joint rating team is suggested.
A club must never rate its own course. If a club is unable to obtain Rating from an authorized golf association, it should immediately contact USGA Handicap Department for assistance. A golf club cannot use the USGA Handicap System until it has been issued a USGA Course Rating and Slope Rating by an authorized golf association.
14-2. Authorized Golf Associations to Re-rate Courses
An authorized golf association must periodically review Ratings of courses and revise them as necessary. Newly constructed courses change rapidly in the first few years and must be re-rated within five years. An established course must be re-rated at least every 10 years, even if it has not been changed in any way. A course must no longer use its USGA Course Rating and Slope Rating if its ratings are more than 10 years old and scores recorded on that course may not be posted to a player's scoring record. Each course must contact an authorized golf association within its jurisdiction to schedule a re-rating.
14-3. Personnel of Course Rating Team
A course rating team should be composed of at least three trained and experienced individuals. A rating team may be assisted by a club representative, preferably a player with a low Handicap Index (or the club professional), who can inform the team of any unusual course conditions, including wind. Team members should have a practical knowledge of scratch golfers. Keeping the members of the team as permanent as possible helps to keep the ratings consistent.
One member of the team must be designated by the authorized golf association as the team leader. The team leader must have attended a course rating seminar conducted by the USGA. The team evaluates each obstacle on each hole on a scale of 0 through 10 and should attempt to agree, within one number, on the evaluation for each obstacle. If an agreement is not reached, the opinion of the team leader should prevail. While rating a course, team members may hit shots to assist them in evaluating obstacles.
It is recommended that the team play the course before or after the rating to substantiate the rating results. The team leader must submit completed rating forms to the authorized golf association for review by the course rating review Committee. This Committee may modify the results within specified limits, or it may direct a re-rating by another rating team. Once finalized by the course rating review Committee, the authorized golf association must issue these ratings to the club.
14-4. Golf Association Records
a. Information To Be Kept
A file of each USGA Course Rating and Slope Rating must be kept by the authorized golf association for future reference. The checklist for the file should include: the scorecard, the names of the persons rating the course, the date on which the course was rated, the information regarding weather and other conditions on the day of rating, the fairway watering system, the types of grasses, the height of the rough, the official measurements of each hole, the names of persons who measured the golf course, and the presence of permanent yardage markers.
b. List of All Ratings
The course rating review Committee must compile a list showing total yardage and the USGA Course Rating and Slope Rating for each course in its jurisdiction that has been rated. The Committee must periodically review this list for accuracy.
The course rating review Committee of each authorized golf association should alphabetize the list by course name and send it to every club in the area. This club listing should help members post their scores made on area courses. A copy must be submitted to the USGA Handicap Department annually by the authorized golf association.
14-5. Modification of Courses
a. Temporary Changes
The Handicap Committee must notify the authorized golf association when temporary tees and/or greens are used. The authorized golf association will decide whether or not scores made under those conditions are to be accepted for handicap purposes, and whether the USGA Course Rating and Slope Rating should be modified temporarily. The Handicap Committee has a responsibility to notify its members that when a hole is not played due to construction, the score for that hole must be par plus any handicap strokes to which the player is entitled. (See Section 4-2.) The procedure for issuing a temporary rating may be found in "The USGA Course Rating System."
b. Permanent Changes
The club must notify the authorized golf association when permanent changes are made to the course. Permanent changes to the course require the authorized golf association to review the current USGA Course Rating and Slope Rating and to determine whether a re-rating is necessary.

Iraq orders closure of 44 media outlets
Iraq orders 44 media outlets to be shut down after a dispute over broadcast licenses
June 25, 2012 11:05 by Reuters
An Iraqi regulatory body has ordered the closure of 44 media outlets in the country including the BBC and Voice of America in a dispute over broadcast licences, sources with knowledge of the order said on Sunday, but no action has yet been taken.
Other organisations targeted for shutdown include privately-owned local TV channels Sharqiya and Baghdadia as well as U.S.-financed Radio Sawa.
A senior source at the Communications and Media Commission (CMC), the body responsible for the order, said the move had nothing to do with the way the outlets had reported on sectarian conflict in the country, as some reports have suggested.
"The CMC sent such a letter warning them that they're going to shut down their services because they didn't pay (their license fees)," a senior source at the CMC told Reuters.
The regulator had passed its order to the Baghdad operations command, the source added, referring to the local law enforcement forces who would carry out the closures.
"This is totally wrong and unwise as it comes at a time when the country is plunged into political uncertainty," Ziyad al-Ajili, head of the Journalistic Freedoms Observatory, said.
"What we are confident of is that the decision was not political, but its negative implications will definitely have political implications on the government and harm the reputation of Iraq as a free country," he added.
The BBC said it was negotiating the renewal of its license with the Iraqi authorities.
"The delay is due to technicalities," it said in a statement. "The BBC's journalists in Baghdad are not currently experiencing any issues reporting from the country, and it is important that the BBC and other international news organisations are able to operate freely and bring independent and impartial news to audiences in Iraq and the wider region."
Some of the outlets on the list no longer operate bureaux in Iraq.
Iraq's main political factions have been locked in a crisis since December, with opponents of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki accusing the Shi'ite leader of trying to consolidate power at their expense.
Maliki is trying to fend off attempts by Sunni, Kurd and some Shi'ite rivals to organise a vote of no-confidence against him.

Bill Walsh
Walsh made the West Coast offense a force. The 49ers won because of his coaching. His methods created Hall of Fame players. The best ever.
Bill Belichick
3 Super Bowls in arguably the toughest NFL ever. Almost had 4, too. Every year his teams have a chance to win it again because of him.
Vince Lombardi
5 League Championships AND 2 Super Bowl wins. It's HIS trophy. The ultimate motivator. His 9-1 playoff record shows just how great he was.
Paul Brown
A true teacher who won 7 Championships. His 1st year in the NFL he won it all. He made players better. A great coach who loved to win.
Chuck Noll
Took a 1 win team to 4 Super Bowl wins. He built Pittsburgh into the great franchise it is today. He is the only coach to win 4 Super Bowls.
"These are the best coaches based on their influence to their team winning. The Championships they won couldn't have been done without them."

Anyway, regardless of position, you could probably make more money in the private sector if you are really motivated to go out and make the next big thing. But this sort of job is about more than compensation. It draws people that really believe in the cause (who eventually become disillusioned, and sometimes become whistleblowers) along with amoral sociopaths that get off on power. Unfortunate that the latter stand a much better chance of being promoted and the former of being waterboarded, seems backwards somehow, but oh well.

Google play store purchased apps issue
So I need serious help/explanation to this issue I have come across. I had created a new Google account due to my old one being hacked into.
What I realized is that all my apps would be gone if I removed my old email from the phone. So realizing that I am rooted with titanium backup, I did a backup of all my apps on TB....reset my phone to factory settings...put my new Google account in and ran a restore of all my apps that were associated with my old Google account. Worked like a charm, until it came to my purchased apps.
Whenever I have an update for a purchased app I get the 403 error code. So I tried to uninstall the app and see if it would make me re-buy it under my new Google account...nope. It says "purchased" and when I hit install I get the same 403 error code.
Now I know the obvious way around this is to keep my old Google account on the phone but I really don't want to do that. Is there a way I can somehow unlink the purchased apps so I can just rebuy them?
Need your help and thanks in advance!

Before the Affordable Car Act, insurance companies spent a large percentage of consumers' premiums on non-medical costs (called the medical loss ratio) such as high pay for management, administrative costs, marketing and of course profits for shareholders. However, now with the implementation of the health care reform these companies are required to devote at least 80% of those premium dollars to customers' health care. If this does not occur then the difference is returned to individual in the form of premium discounts or rebate checks beginning this year. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation study reported below those rebates will total ~ $1.3 billion dollars. One has to wonder, how many of those recipients were rooting for the Supreme Court to throw the law out.
The Daily Scoop: Health Insurers to Pay $1.3 billion in rebates to customers
The Daily Scoop: Europe Baffled by US Health Care Reform Debate
Only in America could there be a firestorm controversy over providing access to health care for 30 million plus U.S. citizens. At least this is the general perspective shared by much of Europe as to WHY the Affordable Care Act's provisions are opposed so fervently here in America. As many know Europeans enjoy universal health care coverage. It has become as engrained into their social fabric as Medicare and Social Security has here. As a result they are utterly confused as to why there is a debate over this issue. The articles here provides a small glimpse into the confusion our neighbors across the Pond are experiencing over this perculiar political battle over health care.
Europe Is Baffled by the U.S. Supreme Court
Europe is scratching its head over possibility that the U.S. Supreme Court will strike down President Obama's signature legislative achievement.
The Daily Scoop: Why Conservatives Shouldn't Gloat Yet
Conservative intellectuals are feeling giddy. Last week they feasted on the veritable mauling of Solicitor General Donald Verrilli by the Supreme Court's five conservative justices. (In truth, Verrilli was only questioned by four of the conservatives—Justice Clarence Thomas, true to form, didn't speak. But we know where his vote lies.) I tell the students in my class at the City College of New York that "five" is the most powerful number in the nation. For as we have seen, five votes on the Supreme Court can pick a president—voters notwithstanding—and five votes could redefine our understanding of Congress' power under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution—precedents notwithstanding. So maybe the conservative celebration is merited. Yet it is also plausible that an element of hubris has overtaken the right.
Because, in this moment of conservative glee, there are a few things—indisputable facts—that should not be forgotten,
No Mandate? New Strategy…The Public Option
This past week witnessed the long anticipated, commencement and culmination of the Supreme Court hearings on the Affordable Health Care Act's constitutionality. Each of the three days brought endless speculative predictions as to how the justices will vote and how their decisions will impact the law, the health care system, the President and his reelection.
The Daily Scoop: The Most Revealing Reporting on Our Healthcare System
As the country waits for the Supreme Court to issue its verdict on the health-care reform law, ProPublica writers Blair Hickman and Cora Currier rounded up some of the most revealing reporting on the issues. They're grouped roughtly into articles on high costs and those on insurance.
Romney: Uninsured with preexisting conditions should be denied coverage
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on Tuesday insisted that President Barack Obama's health care reform law should be overturned and that people with preexisting conditions should be denied coverage if they had never had insurance before.
During an appearance on NBC's Tonight Show, host Jay Leno told Romney that he knew people that had never been able to get insurance before "Obamacare" was passed.
"It seems to me like children and people with preexisting conditions should be covered," Leno noted.
"People with preexisting conditions — as long as they've been insured before, they're going to continue to have insurance," Romney explained.
The Daily Scoop: GOP support for Individual Mandate in their words
If one were to remove all the partisanship restraining effective policy, the public could take solace in the realization their leaders could reach compromise and address the issues facing this country.
Read more and see a full list of the legislators who previously supported an individual mandate.
Free contraception or just getting your money's worth?
Much has been made over the contraception mandate rules implemented as part of the Affordable Care Act with many conservative commentators asking why the public should pay for others to have sex. Along with the fallacious characterization of contraception use the controversy's liberal use of the word "free" in conjunction with it introduces a whole other question. Are the proponents of these provisions really demanding free services or are they just looking to get their money's worth?
The Daily Scoop: 1 in 5 US families struggle to pay medical bills; half say can't pay a cent
ATLANTA — A survey shows 1 in 5 Americans say their families are having trouble paying their medical bills. Worse, half of those who are struggling say they are unable to pay a single dime toward those debts.
The survey of 52,000 people was conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from January through June of last year. It's the first time the government agency has looked at the issue in such a comprehensive way.
Peter Cunningham, who studies the issue for an independent health policy research group, says it may be the largest such study ever done on the matter.
Lower-income people struggled the most. They were three times more likely to have difficulty paying their medical bills over the past year.
The Daily Scoop: Teen Pregnancy, Contraception & Religious Perceptions
Once again the Daily Scoop is offering multiple interrelated articles. Today, we are looking at 3 articles that examine the current controversies circling around the Health and Human Services rules for contraception provisions inclusion in employer insurance policies, including religious-based universities and hospitals but exempting churches.
The first article details the findings of newly released study which illustrates the effect of increased contraception use among teens and the decrease in abortion and pregnancy rates for the same groups. The second compares perceptions of the contraception "battle" in the media, in Congress and the general public. And the third reports on the current actions the House of Representatives is preparing to take on the contraception rules.

Bleacher Report's Final 2012 MLB Award Vote Predictions
By Robert Knapel ,
The votes are already in and tallied up, and in a short time, the MLB will be handing out awards to its top players. A number of these awards such as the MVP and Cy Young could be very close races between multiple players that had outstanding years.
MLB Lead Writers Ian Casselberry and Zachary D. Rymer have been tracking the races and providing projections for many of these awards throughout the regular season. Now that the season is over, Bleacher Report baseball columnists have set their final predictions.
Bleacher Report has reached out to 62 of its featured baseball writers to get their thoughts on the MLB awards races.
Davey Johnson: 51.6%
Bruce Bochy: 38.7%
Dusty Baker: 6.5%
Mike Matheny: 1.6%
Fredi Gonzalez: 1.6%
"Davey Johnson is far and away the NL Manager of the Year, having guided a very young Washington Nationals team to 98 wins. Even with indecent exposure regarding the [Stephen] Strasburg saga, Johnson handled the media, the front office, the team and Bryce Harper exceptionally well en route to making Capitol Hill excited about baseball again." - Gavin Andrews, Atlanta Braves Featured Columnist
"Bochy slapped together the best bullpen in the majors and won games without a true closer. He got guys like [Marco] Scutaro, [Hunter] Pence and [Angel] Pagan for a season or less and turned them into Giants forever. His team was as pure as it can get on the basepaths, at the plate and in the field. They had little power and tons of guts. Bochy-style baseball." - Richard Leivenberg, Los Angeles Dodgers Featured Columnist
This race should come down to Johnson and Bochy, but it probably will not be that tight of a vote.
Johnson gets the edge here. He took a young Nationals team and led them to the best record in baseball. Given the expectations surrounding the Nationals, that should be enough to get him the award.
Buck Showalter: 59.7%
Bob Melvin: 33.9%
Jim Leyland: 1.6%
Joe Girardi: 1.6%
Joe Maddon: 1.6%
Robin Ventura: 1.6%
"Going from 69-93 in 2011 to 93-69 in 2012 and forcing Game 5 in the ALDS against the New York Yankees says it all. Showalter knows how to manage young players and mold a group into a team, making the most with what many considered to be virtually nothing going into the 2012 campaign. Most, including me, thought that 2012 would be a 100-loss campaign. Instead, the team was seven wins from 100. There was no bigger managing factor in the AL this past season than Buck Showalter." - Alex Synder, Baltimore Orioles Featured Columnist
"The Oakland Athletics looked weak entering Opening Day. Anemic hitting from Kurt Suzuki and Jemile Weeks didn't help. Neither did Bartolo Colon's PED suspension or Brandon McCarthy's frightening injury. Bob Melvin worked well with a young and ever-changing roster. Against all odds, his team captured the AL West title."- Ely Sussman, MLB Featured Columnist
This could be one of the closest awards races this year. What both Buck Showalter and Bob Melvin helped their teams accomplish this season was incredibly impressive.
Both teams were essentially counted out before the year began because of their rosters and the divisions in which they played. Each of these managers deserves the award, but the edge could go to Showalter because he led the Orioles to a 24-win swing this year.
Bryce Harper: 56.5%
Wade Miley: 21.0%
Todd Frazier: 14.5%
Wilin Rosario: 4.8%
Norichika Aoki: 3.2%
"In order to work through this category, I took a different look at the question. I took Bryce Harper, who was the obvious assumption, and tried to find a reason that someone else deserved the award. I failed. His final numbers, combined with possibly more valuable defensive contributions, make him deserving of the honor. There were several close calls in the category, but in the end, he was the NL rookie who had the greatest impact on his club." - Corey Noles, St. Louis Cardinals Featured Columnist
"Miley's season was one of the sneakiest in recent history. 16-11 with a 3.33 ERA on a team that had a team 3.94 ERA. Great WHIP (1.182) for a rookie, and he almost tallied 200 innings pitched. I liked Frazier's year, and Aoki was rock solid for Milwaukee, but Miley was the steadiest of the bunch." - Clarence Bladwin, Jr., Oakland Athletics Featured Columnist
Bryce Harper managed to live up to all of the hype surrounding him this year. The 19-year-old put up outstanding numbers—just short of a 20/20 season (22 HR, 18 SB)—and played very well defensively.
Harper helped lead the Washington Nationals to the best record in baseball. His contributions will earn him the National League Rookie of the Year award.
Mike Trout: 100%
"This shouldn't even be an argument." - Nick Houser, Oakland Athletics Featured Columnist
This one was a no-doubter. Trout had arguable the greatest rookie season of all time, as he hit .326 with 129 runs scored, 30 home runs, 83 RBI, 49 stolen bases and an outstanding 10.0 fWAR (h/t FanGraphs).
R.A. Dickey: 66.1%
Gio Gonzalez: 16.1%
Clayton Kershaw: 11.3%
Johnny Cueto: 4.8%
Craig Kimbrel: 1.7%
"Little needs to be said for this one. Dickey is the first knuckleballer to win 20 games since the Niekro brothers both did it in 1979. He did so by throwing it consistently faster than most and keeping it in the strike zone. He even managed to post only 54 walks, which, for a knuckleballer, is all but unheard of. Watching batters' post-strikeout faces showed exactly why Dickey was deserving of the win. Several other pitchers had seasons worthy of recognition, but Dickey still stood out among the crowd." - Corey Noles, St. Louis Cardinals Featured Columnist
"The NL Cy Young race is a tough one. Clayton Kershaw has the low ERA without the wins, R.A. Dickey has the numbers without being on a top team and Johnny Cueto and Gio Gonzalez both had top records and led their teams into the playoffs. For most of the season, Dickey could do no wrong. The knuckleballer led the league in strikeouts, was second in wins and ERA and was the only reason the Mets were relevant during the year; only one other pitcher passed the six-win mark on that team." - Dan Tylicki, MLB Featured Columnist
While Dickey ran away with the voting here, that will almost certainly not be the case in the official award voting. It should be a very tight race between him and Gio Gonzalez.
The award should still go to Dickey, though, because of what he was able to accomplish this season. He was second in the National League in both wins (20) and ERA (2.73), and he led the NL in strikeouts (230). If Dickey had been on a better team, he could have had 23 or 24 wins on the year.
Justin Verlander: 51.6%
David Price: 41.9%
Jered Weaver: 4.8%
Chris Sale: 1.7%
"If Verlander wins, it will be because of reputation. Price was the best pitcher in the American League, which he led in wins and ERA while pitching in the AL East. (Even though the Red Sox were down this year, Baltimore and Toronto presented tough offensive matchups.) Verlander led the league in strikeouts, while his WHIP and batting average against were marginally better than Price's. But Price was clearly the better pitcher in the second half. Price and Verlander each started 14 games after the All-Star break, and only once did Price not record a quality start. Verlander failed to do so four times." Laith Agha, San Francisco Giants Featured Columnist
"Justin Verlander led all pitchers in WAR (6.8 to Felix Hernandez's 6.1) and innings pitched, and he finished second in the American League in ERA and FIP. I love David Price and everything he did in 2012, but newsflash: Pitcher win totals don't matter. Price and Hernandez come awfully close to taking this award from JV, but the disparity in WAR and innings pitched along with Verlander's consistent top statistical rankings across the board give him back-to-back Cy Young awards." - Gavin Andrews, Atlanta Braves Featured Columnist
Looking at the numbers put up by both Justin Verlander and David Price, a case could easily be made for either of them to win the American League Cy Young Award. They were both near the top of a number of statistical categories in the American League.
The one thing that could tip the scales in Verlander's favor is the fact that he led his team to the playoffs while Price and the Rays missed out on the postseason.
Buster Posey: 80.6%
Ryan Braun: 11.3%
Yadier Molina: 4.8%
Andrew McCutchen: 3.3%
"Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun put up numbers this season that were eerily similar to his MVP-winning season last year. He led the National League in runs (108), home runs (41), OPS (.987) and total bases (356). Braun also stole 30 bases for the second consecutive season. While Buster Posey put up a phenomenal second half, Braun proved once again that he is head and shoulders above his competitors in terms of overall consistency throughout the season." - Doug Mead, MLB Featured Columnist
"Posey had the top batting average in the NL. He was solid in home runs and drove in over 100 RBI. He also manages the pitching staff and calls a great game. He is a leader of the team on the field and in the clubhouse." - Dan Mori, San Francisco Giants Featured Columnist
This is another race that should be closer than what was predicted by the Bleacher Report Featured Columnists. Braun had a great year, but it seems that his PED saga from last year has certainly impacted him in the voting.
Braun actually outperformed Posey in every category expect for batting average and on-base percentage. However, when it comes to value and not production, Posey has shown that he deserves the award.
Posey did a great job with the San Francisco Giants pitching staff and led his team to the playoffs. The value that he had to the Giants was greater than that which Braun had for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Miguel Cabrera: 67.7%
Mike Trout: 32.3%
"Call me crazy, but I still think the word 'valuable' means something in the MVP voting. Trout struggled during the season's final two months, while Cabrera put the Tigers on his back and led them to the AL Central crown. Despite what the advanced metrics say and the fact that Trout is a far superior defensive player, delivering when your team needs you the most should matter. This has little to do with Cabrera's Triple Crown and everything to do with his clutch performance and incredible consistency." - Geoffrey Ratliff, Los Angeles Dodgers Featured Columnist
"The AL MVP is one of the best two-man races we have had in some time. Mike Trout is a true five-tool player, while Miguel Cabrera won the Triple Crown and led his team to the World Series. Despite the Triple Crown win, Cabrera failed to beat Trout in WAR; no modern TC winner has ever not finished first in WAR. Trout was the best baserunner and base stealer, which complemented his top-tier fielding and hitting. He had a special season, even more so than Cabrera." - Dan Tylicki, MLB Featured Columnist
"Call me old school, call me a dinosaur...but I cannot vote for anyone other than the first Triple Crown winner since 1967. For a right-handed hitter to do this makes it that much more impressive, especially while playing in a park not exactly viewed as a hitter's haven. Miguel Cabrera is your 2012 AL MVP." - Stephen Meyer, Deputy MLB Editor
It is seemingly impossible for the voters to go wrong with their choice for the 2012 American League MVP award. There is a Triple Crown winner and a rookie that put up incredible numbers.
A weak September from Trout could be what makes the difference in this race. Both players deserve the award, but the fact that Cabrera picked things up in the season's final weeks while Trout struggled a bit may have won Cabrera enough votes to give him an edge.
