Inspiration and ProductionIn 2004, the Museum commissioned Hella Jongerius to create a series of ten textiles, collectively titled Sampler Blanket, in conjunction with her Collection Selects exhibition. Each work in the show was inspired by designs found on historic samplers in the Museum's Textile collection, which includes over 1,000 examples of embroidered samplers from all over the world spanning three centuries.

Celebrating a new churchJulia Ann Nivers' sampler features a townscape beneath three alphabets and a religious verse, enclosed in a border of stylized strawberries. Of the buildings depicted on the sampler, only the Hopewell Presbyterian Church can be identified. Construction on the Gothic Revival building, which still stands today in Julia's hometown of Crawford, New York, began in 1831. The first services were held there in 1832, which may have been why Julia chose to highlight the church on her 1833 sampler. samplers, Julis Ann Nivers, Hopewell Presbyterian Church, Gothic Revival |
Stitches in TimeSamplers are embroideries that showcase needlework skills. The word "sampler" is derived from the Latin exemplar, meaning "model." The oldest surviving samplers date from the fifteenth century, and were used by women and girls to practice stitches, alphabets, and other designs. Their motifs were worked in horizontal bands, and referenced when embroidering clothing and domestic textiles. samplers, marking samplers |
To banish Slav'ry's Bonds from Freedom's PlainsToday is Emancipation Day, a holiday on which we commemorate the abolition of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Major-General Gordon Granger—who had arrived in Galveston, Texas, the preceding day with 2,000 Union troops—announced the end of the Civil War and the emancipation of the enslaved. On this day, a fitting object for contemplation is a sampler made in 1803 by Mary Emiston, a student at the African Free School in New York City. Mary ornamented her sampler with an inspirational verse calling for an end to slavery and oppression: emancipation, slavery, New York African Free School, samplers |
The Obsidian SerpentThere are hundreds of embroidered samplers in the Textiles Department – they are a collection strength spanning several centuries and many countries. My favorite samplers are those from Mexico for they often show the convergence of European and indigenous cultures in their motifs and designs. While there are a number of beautiful samplers from Mexico, only one has an intriguing figure known as the Obsidian Serpent. Mexico, samplers |

John Owen, abridged and made easy to read by Richard Rushing In this abridgement of a classic work, the famous Puritan John Owen shows the need for Christians to engage in a life-long battle against the sinful tendencies that remain in them, despite their having been brought to faith and new life in Christ. Owen is very insistent that believers cannot hope to succeed in this battle in their own strength. He sees clearly that the fight can be won only through faith in Christ, and in the power of the Spirit. Fighting sin with human strength will produce only self-righteousness, superstition and anxiety of conscience. But with faith in Christ, and with the power of the Spirit, victory is certain. The temptations in times like Owen?s and ours are obvious on every side; the remedy to them is clearly pointed out in this practical and helpful book.

Customer Testimonials
SOLD: Weybridge
"Dear Pat,
I just wanted to thank you and the team at Curchods for successfully selling my father's house.
You found a buyer soon after it had been marketed for some time with another agent. You then very proactively managed all the parties through to exchange of contracts and completion.
I am very pleased with the outcome and the way you handled it. Many thanks.
Mr W, Weybridge
SOLD: Weybridge
"Hi Lisa,
We would just like to say thank you for your patience and positive outlook during our two year search to find a home.
It has been a pleasure working with you and Lorna and I would not hesitate in recommending Curchods to anyone."
Mr & Mrs D, Weybridge
SOLD: Weybridge
"Dear Pat,
Just a quick email to thank you for your help with the purchase.
Never easy with a short lease and having to negotiate with the owner, freeholder and buyer!
Nevertheless you did a superb job and I am very grateful.
Thanks again."
Mr M, Weybridge
SOLD: Weybridge
"Hi Rory,
Just a quick email to thank you for looking after us during the process of acquiring our new home.
We both feel relieved that the deal is done and we can move onto other things.
It has been a pleasure working with you and if we ever decide to sell, we'll be back in touch!
Best wishes."
Mr & Mrs L, Weybridge
SOLD: Weybridge
"Dear Pat,
Thank you, very sincerely, for the excellent attention to detail you have given us, patiently, in a far from easy negotiation.
My daughter said you would look after us when she heard the house was with you, so your reputation is of quite long standing.
You have never failed to immediately chase up or make an appointment with efficiency and glad heart.
Best wishes."
Mr & Mrs T, Weybridge

"Thank you for all your hard work in the selling of my property. I just wish all estate agents were as helpful, calm and professional as you were!"
Mrs C, Weybridge
SOLD: Weybridge
"We would like to thank the Curchods Weybridge team for the relative smoothness with which our house sale transaction has been conducted, and we would recommend the same team for any intending future seller.
Particularly pleasing to us was the rapid (and successful) start to the sale process within just a day or two of our instructions being issued. And two other aspects we have appreciated have been the accessibility and the responsiveness of Curchods whenever there was some issue to be addressed."
Mr M, Weybridge
SOLD: Weybridge
"We were extremely happy with our dealings with Curchods. We were fortunate to have Lorna acting for the seller and we were impressed with her "can do" attitude.
She was friendly and courteous at all times, showing an abundance of patience, which was much appreciated as we were new to the art of property buying.
We would not hesitate to recommend Lorna and Curchods in Weybridge to anyone."
Mr M, Weybridge
SOLD: Weybridge
"At last we've exchanged. It's been a long wait, but we're very pleased.
Thank you so much for all your assistance, patience and diplomacy. Your skills in the smoothing of the ways made even the stressful moments more bearable."
Mrs R, Gower Road, Weybridge
SOLD: Weybridge
"It's been a pleasure dealing with you, Pat, and your colleagues (in your absence) – these days there are not many people who say they will call you back, and actually do. But you have certainly done that, and are therefore a pleasure to work with.
We appreciate that it was not easy at times to move things forwards (due to circumstances beyond our control), and are grateful to Curchods for reassuring the other parties involved to hang in there as progress would eventually be made. And it was, we got there in the end (even though it was a bit of a bumpy ride!)."
Mrs J, Brockley Combe, Weybridge
SOLD: Weybridge
"We would like to express our gratitude to the Weybridge Curchods team for the excellent service they provided during the purchase of our new property and the sale of our previous home.
They were professional and dedicated to meeting our needs through the offer negotiations and in facilitating the exchange, providing a prompt response to all our enquiries and requests.
We were impressed by Curchods as an agency, and would be happy to recommend them and use their services in the future."
Mr D, Thames Street, Weybridge
SOLD: Oatlands Chase
"I would like to thank you for your professionalism in successfully selling my property and for keeping me advised every step of the way with viewer feedback. I was very happy with the service I received from your team."
Ms S, Oatlands Chase, Weybridge
SOLD: Weybridge
"From the first valuation to the rapid completion of our house sale, you and your team have been delightful. Not only a job beautifully executed (on the market for just one week), but also an easy going and pleasant experience, dealing with you and your wonderful colleagues. Genuinely, I shall sing your praises to anyone considering an estate agent.
Townley in your West Byfleet office has been equally impressive in securing the new house of our dreams. Buying and selling through Curchods has been a pleasure. Thank you so much for making it so."
Mr H, Rylands Place, Weybridge
SOLD: Weybridge
"It was a pleasure to deal with Lorna, who made the potentially stressful experience of purchasing a property, one that was easy and straight forward. Lorna and her team were always professional, courteous and friendly.
They really did provide a complete service, no request for assistance was ever too much, they would always go the extra mile for me and everything was done on time. Without their assistance, my purchase would never have happened. If I ever need to use an estate agent in Surrey again, I will choose Curchods.
Mr M, Tudor Grange, Weybridge
SOLD: Weybridge
"We have been impressed by your professionalism, friendly approach and efficiency.
I have recommended Curchods to many friends over the years, and am delighted that I now have direct experience of your disposition towards buyers.
I look forward to buying another property through you in the future."
Mr M, Parkside Court, Weybridge
SOLD: Weybridge
"Just wanted to say how impressed I was with the service provided by Curchods. I imagine most deals have their complications - problems at the bottom of the chain, a number of replacement buyers, delays, deadlines set, deadlines passed – all sorts of situations. The only thing, I as a customer, would ask in situations like that is information, availability to speak to the agents, and to see them do all they can on my behalf, which is exactly what Curchods did and more."
Mr & Mrs C, Oatlands Chase, Weybridge
SOLD: Weybridge
"We are very pleased in the way that our sale was handled, every step of the way during this transaction Curchods kept us fully informed. We can highly recommend the professionalism of Curchods and thank them for assisting us in the sale of our property, we certainly would recommend them to our friends."
Mr & Mrs W, The Villers, Weybridge

The Fortune Arcana (運命, Unmei), also known formally as the Wheel of Fortune (運命の輪, Unmei no Wa), is a recurring Arcana in the Persona series.
- "The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed...
Alongside time exists fate, the bearer of cruelty." - —Nyx Avatar, Persona 3
Portrayed as a wheel with different animals wearing wealthy and beggarly clothes up and down the wheel, the Fortune Arcana symbolizes Fate and varying luck, fortunes and opportunities. What goes up will go down, what goes down will go up.
Gameplay-wise, the Personas of the Fortune Arcana is associated myth-figures related to Fate and Time, notable with the Norn Sisters, and specialize in Wind based abilities.
Bearers of the Fortune Arcana are usually individuals who are aware of their fates, and attempt to seize their own destiny in spite of their seemingly-locked fates. Thus, they are typically involved with making important choices and decisions.

The Social Link can be created after the Protagonist talks to a suspicious looking person in the North-side of the Shopping Street in Yaosinaba, where he obtains a letter to be sent to Naoto. After receiving the letter, the Protagonist must then return to Yasogami High School and speak to Naoto, initiating the Social Link. In the events of the Fortune Arcana Social Link, the Protagonist teams up with Naoto to investigate a challenge given to the Shirogane family by a "Phantom Thief".
Leveling the Fortune Arcana up to Lv. 3 allows Naoto to learn her distinct follow-up move, Ultra Trigger, where Naoto fires powerful shots with her gun upon all enemies with chances of inflicting 'Down' or 'Dizzy' status. However, the Protagonist must have struck down a target first.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- When it comes right down to it, the proposal moving through the NCAA's football rules machinery right now to slow down offenses is akin to that of the states that have attempted - and sometimes succeeded - in passing voter fraud legislation.
It addresses a problem that doesn't exist in order to serve another agenda.
For those unaware, essentially what is being proposed is to prohibit college football offenses from snapping the ball until at least 10 seconds have elapsed from the 40-second play clock. The stated rationale is one of safety, the notion being that offenses are playing so fast and running so many plays that defenders are worn down and thus more susceptible to injury.
Does it matter that there is no empirical evidence to support that notion? Apparently not.
There is plenty of proof, though, that coaches who have not bought into the faster-is-better approach don't like what they are being forced to deal with. And the 10-second run-off proposal is by far the most compelling evidence that if they can't beat 'em, they won't join 'em. Instead, they'll just attempt to change the rules.
Now just to be clear here, when it comes to football, I'm a bit of a traditionalist. I'd rather see a 17-14 game with great defense than a 45-38 game with none. On the surface that would seem to put me squarely on the side of those attempting to slow the game down.
Except for two things. First, you don't change the rules in order to do it. If someone has figured out a way to gain an advantage within the rules that exist, good for them. Then the onus is on those who are being victimized to counter it. It's no different than what has happened in the game since it began, from countering the T-formation or the wishbone or the West Coast offense. Deal with it.
The second point is the most compelling, though. This rule proposal is not designed to slow down the game and prevent injuries. It's designed to allow defensive coaches to substitute freely.
Hey, if you want to try to change the rules for that purpose, fine. Say that. I don't think you'll have much success because it's an inherent part of the game, that the offense is in complete control of when the play starts. But don't create a problem (injuries because of the fast pace) that doesn't exist in order to circumvent those rules.
That's just cowardly.

Boom System At B.B. Clarke Will Be In Place Rest Of Summer
Many have noticed a positive outcome in the city of Madison since the experimental boom system has been placed into the lakes at various beaches.
Since the boom that is designed to reduce bad algal scum from getting near B.B. Clarke Beach was placed in the water a month ago there has not been a single day that the beach was closed.
Local residents, and the countless users of the beach have noticed, and appreciated the result of this experiment.

Matt Hasselbeck fined for horse collar tackle

12:10 PM ET 11.07 | Everything went wrong for the Titans in a 51-20 loss to the Chicago Bears, but somehow the game got a little bit worse for Matt Hasselbeck as ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the NFL fined the Titans quarterback $15,750 for a horse collar tackle of Kelvin Hayden. The penalty occurred in the fourth quarter with the Bears already up 44-12 after Hayden picked up a fumble from tight end Jared Cook. The horse collar tackle that brought down Hayden on the Titans' four-yard line drew a penalty that moved the ball half the distance to the goal. The Bears scored on a five-yard touchdown pass from Jay Cutler to Brandon Marshall three plays later to extend their lead to 51-12.
Maybe he owed the guy one.....QB's arn't taught to tackle.

I thought the Titans had them until the Bears got that last TD.
Bud,Missing Jeff Fisher, yet ?
Music City is.............
Maybe he owed the guy one.....QB's arn't taught to tackle.
guess he thought it was a horse.....he didn't want to get stomp on....
The NFL should have fined the whole Titan team for their lackluster performance last Sunday against the Bears.
The NFL should have fined the whole Titan team for their lackluster performance last Sunday against the Bears.
lackluster....pitiful...pathetic..embarrassing..Bud should refund the fans money for that, do I dare call it a, game!! the Titans practice squad would have given the Bears a better game....fines are not enough....give us replacement players...........
put him on the otherside of the ball, at least HE didn't allow the score, the Titan D saw to that.

Hasselbeck was the only Titan fast enough to catch up with Brian Urlacher on his TD run--or else, he was the only one who cared enough to try. When the QB is your most determined tackler, you have problems. When it is an aging QB with a bad back, you need to clean house. Starting with the coach.

dc.description.abstract | Nonsense mutations in protein genes have been associated with a variety of human diseases. A useful therapeutic approach to correct such mutations may be to introduce genes expressing suppressor tRNA that recognize the premature stop codon, insert the appropriate amino acid, and allow translation of a full-length, functional protein. Human opal arginine suppressor tRNA genes that encode the structural portion of the tRNA and about 15 bases from the 3' flanking sequence were synthetically constructed using oligonucleotides. Retroviral vectors were selected for delivery to human target cells in order to stably integrate the suppressor tRNA into the target cells' genome. Recombinant retroviral vectors were used to transfect retrovirus packaging cells and produce recombinant viral supernatants. Recombinant viral supernatants were then used to transduce the target cells. Expression of suppressor tRNA in both the retrovirus packaging cells and in the target cells was confirmed by slot blot analysis. To test the functional activity of the expressed suppressor tRNA, target cells expressing a nonsense mutated GFP reporter gene (Arg73opal mhRGFP) were transduced with the recombinant viral supernatant. Suppression of the opal nonsense mutation in hRGFP was demonstrated by restoration of hRGFP fluorescence. This study suggests that retroviral vectors may be used to deliver suppressor tRNA genes to human target cells. | en |

What can I do?
During my softball game yesterday I was playing catcher and had to make a play at home. The person running from 3rd base slid into home, but slid right onto my toe. It hurts really badly to move, and I can't walk on it. Also, when I was playing catcher I had to scoop a ball up from the dirt. When I did this, it took an awkward bounce and hit the tip of my right hand pinky really hard. It went numb for about 5 minutes, and now it hurts really badly to bend and is hard to straighten completely. What can I do to make the pain go away? We have the championship game tonight, after having a really bad season, and I need to play in it!

A major drug bust in Orange County lands several people behind bars. Time Warner Cable News reporter Meredith Zaritheny has more.
ORANGE COUNTY, N.Y. -- More than 20 people were arrested and indicted in connection with a countywide narcotics sweep.
Twenty-three people in all were charged with trafficking heroin, cocaine, oxycodone and weapons.
The sweep encompasses the county's three major cities Middletown, Newburgh and Port Jervis and also includes the Town of Newburgh.
During a press conference Friday afternoon District Attorney David Hoovler, along with state and local police, announced what they've accomplished so far as part of a new crime fighting initiative.
The charges include selling cocaine and heroin within 1,000 feet of two schools in Newburgh.
Three of those arrests come from selling weapons in idling illegal handguns and ammunition to undercover officers in Newburgh.
DA Hoovler says the arrests will have a significant impact on crime in the county.
"We wanted to start the year off with a statement to law enforcement and to the residents of Orange County, that narcotics and illegal gun trafficking is going to be a priority particularly in the three cities," said David Hoovler, Orange County District Attorney.
The DA wouldn't talk specifics about this investigation because it is on-going, saying it would compromise future investigations. However, he says more arrests are expected.

In the meanwhile I worked out a simpler version without the need for the Joule thief circuit.
I'm still working on making this cheaper (now over €60 a piece if no RC gear is available yet).
If it is hard to find enough stepper motors from discarded printer, cheap Hong Kong ones can be used instead.
Can also be build wit Opitec geared solar motors.
I worked out a solderless alternative.
Just small simple project.
I'm working on a slightly larger version, simpler to build and possible to make without soldering.

Clinton, recently treated for a blood clot near her brain after a fall, wore the Fresnel lens to aid her left eye during the Benghazi hearing. This kind of prism helps for people who are experiencing double vision, said Dr. Vike Vicente, a pediatric ophthalmologist in Bethesda, Md.

The Problem of Colliding Networks and its Relation to Cell Fusion and Cancer Biophysical Journal, Volume 103, Issue 9, 7 November 2012, Pages 2011-2020 Alexei A. Koulakov and Yuri Lazebnik Abstract Cell fusion, a process that merges two or more cells into one, is required for normal development and has been explored as a tool for stem cell therapy. It has also been proposed that cell fusion causes cancer and contributes to its progression. These functions rely on a poorly understood ability of cell fusion to create new cell types. We suggest that this ability can be understood by considering cells as attractor networks whose basic property is to adopt a set of distinct, stable, self-maintaining states called attractors. According to this view, fusion of two cell types is a collision of two networks that have adopted distinct attractors. To learn how these networks reach a consensus, we model cell fusion computationally. To do so, we simulate patterns of gene activities using a formalism developed to simulate patterns of memory in neural networks. We find that the hybrid networks can assume attractors that are unrelated to parental attractors, implying that cell fusion can create new cell types by nearly instantaneously moving cells between attractors. We also show that hybrid networks are prone to assume spurious attractors, which are emergent and sporadic network states. This finding means that cell fusion can produce abnormal cell types, including cancerous types, by placing cells into normally inaccessible spurious states. Finally, we suggest that the problem of colliding networks has general significance in many processes represented by attractor networks, including biological, social, and political phenomena.

Boolean Dynamics of Biological Networks with Multiple Coupled Feedback Loops Biophysical Journal, Volume 92, Issue 8, 15 April 2007, Pages 2975-2981 Yung-Keun Kwon and Kwang-Hyun Cho Abstract Boolean networks have been frequently used to study the dynamics of biological networks. In particular, there have been various studies showing that the network connectivity and the update rule of logical functions affect the dynamics of Boolean networks. There has been, however, relatively little attention paid to the dynamical role of a feedback loop, which is a circular chain of interactions between Boolean variables. We note that such feedback loops are ubiquitously found in various biological systems as multiple coupled structures and they are often the primary cause of complex dynamics. In this article, we investigate the relationship between the multiple coupled feedback loops and the dynamics of Boolean networks. We show that networks have a larger proportion of basins corresponding to fixed-point attractors as they have more coupled positive feedback loops, and a larger proportion of basins for limit-cycle attractors as they have more coupled negative feedback loops.

Sensitivity Analysis of Discrete Stochastic Systems Biophysical Journal, Volume 88, Issue 4, 1 April 2005, Pages 2530-2540 Rudiyanto Gunawan, Yang Cao, Linda Petzold and Francis J. Doyle Abstract Sensitivity analysis quantifies the dependence of system behavior on the parameters that affect the process dynamics. Classical sensitivity analysis, however, does not directly apply to discrete stochastic dynamical systems, which have recently gained popularity because of its relevance in the simulation of biological processes. In this work, sensitivity analysis for discrete stochastic processes is developed based on density function (distribution) sensitivity, using an analog of the classical sensitivity and the Fisher Information Matrix. There exist many circumstances, such as in systems with multistability, in which the stochastic effects become nontrivial and classical sensitivity analysis on the deterministic representation of a system cannot adequately capture the true system behavior. The proposed analysis is applied to a bistable chemical system—the Schlögl model, and to a synthetic genetic toggle-switch model. Comparisons between the stochastic and deterministic analyses show the significance of explicit consideration of the probabilistic nature in the sensitivity analysis for this class of processes.

A toggle switch consists of two genes that mutually repress each other. This regulatory motif is active during cell differentiation and is thought to act as a memory device, being able to choose and maintain cell fate decisions. Commonly, this switch has been modeled in a deterministic framework where transcription and translation are lumped together. In this description, bistability occurs for transcription factor cooperativity, whereas autoactivation leads to a tristable system with an additional undecided state. In this contribution, we study the stability and dynamics of a two-stage gene expression switch within a probabilistic framework inspired by the properties of the Pu/Gata toggle switch in myeloid progenitor cells. We focus on low mRNA numbers, high protein abundance, and monomeric transcription-factor binding. Contrary to the expectation from a deterministic description, this switch shows complex multiattractor dynamics without autoactivation and cooperativity. Most importantly, the four attractors of the system, which only emerge in a probabilistic two-stage description, can be identified with committed and primed states in cell differentiation. To begin, we study the dynamics of the system and infer the mechanisms that move the system between attractors using both the quasipotential and the probability flux of the system. Next, we show that the residence times of the system in one of the committed attractors are geometrically distributed. We derive an analytical expression for the parameter of the geometric distribution, therefore completely describing the statistics of the switching process and elucidate the influence of the system parameters on the residence time. Moreover, we find that the mean residence time increases linearly with the mean protein level. This scaling also holds for a one-stage scenario and for autoactivation. Finally, we study the implications of this distribution for the stability of a switch and discuss the influence of the stability on a specific cell differentiation mechanism. Our model explains lineage priming and proposes the need of either high protein numbers or long-term modifications such as chromatin remodeling to achieve stable cell fate decisions. Notably, we present a system with high protein abundance that nevertheless requires a probabilistic description to exhibit multistability, complex switching dynamics, and lineage priming.

2012 Senate Bill 975: Recognize health care payer and provider exercise of conscience
by Sen. John Moolenaar (R) on February 16, 2012, to prohibit forcing an individual or employer who purchase health insurance or pays for health care in some other way, or a health care provider or facility, to pay for or provide any service that that violates the payer's or provider's conscience. Specifically, it would establish that no civil, criminal, or administrative liability could be imposed for this exercise of conscience; and would prohibit eligibility discrimination in government grants, contracts, or programs because of this exercise of conscience. The bill was introduced in response to an Obama administration ruling that Catholic and other religious institutions and social service agencies must include coverage for contraception, sterilization and "morning after" pills in any health care benefits they provide to employees.
Referred to the Senate Health Policy Committee on February 16, 2012.
Reported in the Senate on December 4, 2012, with the recommendation that the substitute (S-2) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered in the Senate on December 6, 2012. The substitute
passed by voice vote in the Senate
on December 6, 2012.
Passed 26 to 12 in the Senate

Re: 2012 Senate Bill 975 (Recognize health care payer and provider exercise of conscience )
by Judy on December 7, 2012
Senator Moolenaar's statement is as follows:
I rise before you today to encourage my Senate colleagues to support Senate Bill No. 975, the Religious Liberty and Conscience Protection Act. The intent of this legislation is to help protect religious freedom while still ensuring patients receive the best medical care. Senate Bill No. 975 allows a process for an individual or entity to assert a conscientious objection to a specific health care service without fear of repercussions.
This legislation would require health care payers, health facilities, and health providers to implement a system that addresses the right to decline, provide, or pay for certain health care services that might conflict with an individual's conscience or moral beliefs.
In this legislation, "conscience" is defined as follows: A sincerely-held conviction arising from a belief in God or the tenets of an established religion or from the ethical or moral principles of a generally recognized philosophy or belief system that an individual asserting those convictions can reference as a basis for those convictions. For purposes of this act, the conscience of an entity shall be determined by reference to existing or proposed religious, moral, or ethical guidelines, mission statement, constitution, bylaws, articles of incorporation, or regulations adhered to by the entity.
We have worked diligently with a broad range of stakeholders from the medical community to find a policy that will best fit their needs. It is important to note that this legislation would not allow for the refusal of care to a group of individuals. This legislation before you today only applies to health services.
Further, this legislation would still require that even if a doctor or nurse does not perform a service because of a conscientious objection, they are required to inform the patient of their options. Under this legislation, no one will be denied care. In emergency situations, care must be provided, even if the provider objects as a matter of conscience.
This legislation before you today will establish a solid, yet workable, framework for protecting the fundamental rights for all Michigan citizens. I welcome my Senate colleagues' support on this important legislation.
Re: 2012 Senate Bill 975 (Recognize health care payer and provider exercise of conscience )
by Judy on December 7, 2012
Senator Warren's statement, in which Senators Gregory, Whitmer, Young, Anderson and Johnson concurred, is as follows:
I stand before you in opposition today to Senate Bill No. 975. While I share the belief of our good colleague who just spoke that we should do what we can to protect an individual health care provider's right of conscience, this bill goes way beyond that. This is not just individual health care providers we're talking about. We're talking entire health care facilities, health care systems, and health care payers who can now under Michigan law, should this bill pass, evoke a right of conscience.
While I understand that under certain circumstances narrow refusal clauses may be appropriate to protect the autonomy of individual medical providers, broad refusal clauses, like the ones in this bill, deny patients access to essential medical care information and referrals. Legislation like this burdens patients who are dealing with time- sensitive medical issues and diminishes the quality of care for all of us.
As a practical consideration, I just want to underscore the fact that Michigan has had conscience clause protections for health care providers when it comes to abortion care services for more than a decade. This bill is not about abortion. If this bill is not about abortion, it doesn't take us very long to think about the number of different health care procedures and access to health care services which could be swept up into a package like this.
Concerns that I have include many religions have beliefs like same gender health care providers are the only ones who should be able to take care of you. If you're a woman and you are in an emergency room, there are no women on staff, would you get taken care of? Some religions don't believe in blood transfusions. If you have a health care condition where you need a blood transfusion and you have no one on staff who is willing to give that to you, where do you stand? Some religions are opposed to giving treatment to folks with HIV/AIDS. Although there was the thought raised that whole groups of people might not be able to be discriminated against, one person at a time could certainly be discriminated against.
So I have grave concerns about how this could be possibly implemented and have a schedule such that we have health care providers working who can provide essential medical care and treatment which folks need. I encourage my colleagues to vote "no" on Senate Bill No. 975 as I will be doing when the board is open.

Clarity is important for water, and it's also true for charity.
When Scott Harrison founded charity: water in 2006, he was targeting people who were "disenchanted with charity," he said in an interview last week. "Most of my friends said the main reason they weren't giving to charity is because they didn't know how much of their money was actually going to go to people in need."
Harrison's solution was to connect donors to their gifts. "We'll never do a [water] well unless we can get a GPS, a photo, a name, and population ... and publicly place them all on Google Earth for transparency," he said.
And 100 percent of donated money from the public goes to water projects in developing nations. Harrison didn't have this worked out initially but has developed the concept of "The Well," in which benefactors give $1,000, $2,000, or $5,000 a month to support the charity's operational costs. That allows the organization to use public donations exclusively for water projects.
charity: water also places an emphasis on design. "I wanted charity to look like Apple," Harrison said. "Why shouldn't we be telling stories with sophistication, with elegance, with authenticity? And telling them in a newsy way?"
Water for Christmas, a local fundraising campaign for charity: water, will be bringing Harrison to the Quad Cities for a number of events November 21 through 23, including an Iowa Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce dinner. (See the schedule here.) Water for Christmas has raised more than $100,000 for charity: water in the year it's been active.

1. U.S. Congress Sells Out to Wall Street
Federal lawmakers responsible for overseeing the U.S. economy have received millions of dollars from Wall Street firms. Since 2001, eight of the most troubled firms have donated $64.2 million to congressional candidates, presidential candidates, and the Republican and Democratic parties. As senators, Barack Obama and John McCain received a combined $3.1 million. The donors include investment bankers Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and Morgan Stanley, insurer American International Group, and mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Some of the top recipients of contributions from companies receiving Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) money are the same members of Congress who chair committees charged with regulating the financial sector and overseeing the effectiveness of this unprecedented government program. In total, members of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, & Urban Affairs, Senate Finance Committee, and House Financial Services Committee received $5.2 million from TARP recipients in the 2007-8 election cycle. President Obama collected at least $4.3 million from employees at these companies for his presidential campaign.
Nearly every member of the House Financial Services Committee, which in February 2009 oversaw hearings on how the $700 billion of TARP bailout was being spent, received contributions associated with these financial institutions during the 2008 election cycle. "You could say that the finance industry got their money's worth by supporting members of Congress who were inclined to look the other way," said Lawrence Jacobs, the director of the University of Minnesota's Center for the Study of Politics & Governance.
For instance, in 2004 when the Securities & Exchange Commission adopted a major rule change that freed investment banks to plunge tens of billions of dollars in borrowed money into subprime mortgages and other risky plays, congressional banking committees held no oversight hearings. Congressional inaction also allowed mortgage agents to earn high fees for peddling loans to unqualified homebuyers and prevented states from toughening regulations on predatory lending practices.
Author Matt Taibbi writes that some of the most egregious selling of the U.S. government to Wall Street happened in the late 1990s, when "Democrats, tired of getting slaughtered in the fundraising arena by Republicans, decided to throw off their old reliance on unions and interest groups and become more 'business-friendly.' Wall Street responded by flooding Washington with money, buying allies in both parties." In the 10-year period beginning in 1998, financial companies spent $1.7 billion on federal campaign contributions and another $3.4 billion on lobbyists. Wise political investments enabled the nation's top bankers to effectively scrap any meaningful oversight of the financial industry.
The fall/winter 2009 Quad Cities' Dining Guide is now available, featuring listings for more than 700 area restaurants.
You can get the Dining Guide three ways:
"This is a big risk even talking to you," said Alexander Iaccarino. "I'm afraid of being prosecuted for this. 'Cause I'm not absolutely sure that any of this is legal."
It was October 16, more than three months after it all started and two weeks before its finale: the Zombie Pride Parade on Halloween night in downtown Davenport.
Looking back with that information, it's easy to see what Iaccarino was up to, and easy to laugh at it.
But when he told me that he was concerned about getting arrested, he sounded sincere and serious. And when he launched ZWatch.org on July 10, things were less cheeky. The Web site talked about a man named Zacharia Furio who was missing, and it alluded to a secretive organization called the QC Department of Biological Sciences.
Iaccarino and a small group of friends then produced videos, photos, and faked documents to tell the story of the H1Z1 virus and a local cover-up, slowly revealing a zombie narrative. The story was supported by some conspirators, such as local author Brian Krans (http://bit.ly/4erGco), and missing-persons posters. (Incidentally, the "H1Z1" idea was not original with Iaccarino; the name and concept of an H1N1-related zombie plague showed up several months before ZWatch: Google.com/search?q=h1z1, http://bit.ly/eiZhp.)
How convincing was it? On August 7, the Rock Island Argus/Moline Dispatch ran a front-page article titled "In Search of Zach: Is Story of Missing Man Just an Internet Hoax?" The story (http://bit.ly/1kq4nV) certainly suggested that ZWatch and Furio weren't real, but it also allowed for the possibility that they were authentic. There remained a seed of doubt, which is all it takes.
If you're torn about how worried to be about the H1N1 flu virus, you're not alone.
Consider: "I think the hysteria of H1N1 concerns me the most." That's Paul M. Bolger, medical director for emergency medicine at Trinity Regional Health System.
"Let's say it's equivalent to a seasonal flu" in terms of symptom severity and mortality, countered Louis M. Katz, the medical director of the Scott County Health Department, an infectious-diseases specialist, and the executive vice president for medical affairs of the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center. "Multiply 30[,000] or 40,000 [typical annual deaths in the United States from seasonal influenza] times five or six, or three or four, in terms of number of deaths. It's a big deal. It's a huge deal. Both from the standpoint of what we call morbidity and mortality - illness and death - and from the impact on societal operations and infrastructure."
This is a worst-case scenario, right? "No, it's what's going to happen," Katz said.
These aren't really contradictory; they're just different perspectives. But they express the general realities about H1N1 that appear to be in conflict: Our brief experience with this new strain of influenza suggests that its symptoms are generally less severe than the seasonal flu's and that its death rate is comparable, but because there's virtually no immunity in people under 60, it has the potential to affect a greater percentage of the population and cause widespread problems.

COLUMBIA — Brian Maddox has a message for the NFL and it's labor issues: "They need to come to a resolution."
Maddox, a T.L. Hanna product and former South Carolina running back, may have a career depending on it.
The 5-foot-10, 230-pound rusher was one of 13 other former Gamecocks who worked out in front of NFL scouts representing 28 of the 32 teams of the locked-out league Wednesday at USC's official pro day.
Maddox said he feels unsure about his draft status, meaning free agency could be his only route to the big league.
However, without a new collective bargaining agreement in place, new players can't be signed by any clubs.
"It worries me a little bit because I think it might be free agency for me, but I can't control that," Maddox said after the workout. "That's a big concern because that's probably going to be the situation, but I'll stay in shape and just be waiting on the call."
Still, Maddox — who rushed for 349 yards and three touchdowns in 2010 — was pleased with how he performed overall Wednesday at the indoor practice facility.
"I definitely felt good running, catching the ball, sprinting," he said. "(Scouts have) talked to my agent, said that they really liked me. A lot of them came here to see me today, see how I performed."
During the event, Maddox was weighed, measured and performed as many bench press reps using 225 pounds as possible. Then, he and the rest of the players did the standing broad jump, vertical leap, 40-yard dash, three-cone drill and the shuttle run before wrapping up with individual position drills.
Numbers were not released after the workout.
"It's been stressful but it's over now," said Maddox, whose been training in Charlotte, N.C., for months. "Just wait for the draft."
If he doesn't have his name called during the April 28-30 NFL draft, he's not sure if he'll try out for any other pro leagues.
Right now, he's planning on watching the draft at his Anderson home and hope for the best — all while continuing to stay in shape.
"I've talked to scouts, think I can come in and be a good team player, help on special teams, get a couple carries here and there until I work my way up," he said. "It's about your living now … getting paid what you love to do."
Other former Gamecocks who felt more comfortable that they'll hear their names called on draft day were also pleased with their performances.
Tori Gurley, an early entry who plays receiver, said he felt that he showed scouts enough to lock up a draft spot.
"All the hard work I've put over the last few years, especially the last few months, I think it paid off," said Gurley, who measured at 6-4, 211 pounds. "I've just got to sit back and wait now. It's just an opportunity of a lifetime and I'll continue to work hard from here."
Gurley didn't run the 40-yard dash Wednesday because he felt the 4.5-second run he posted at the NFL combine last month was good enough to impress scouts. He's projected to be a late-round selection by several draft experts.
Weslye Saunders was back on a USC practice field for the first time since he was dismissed from the team last summer for violating team rules and accepting benefits from an agent. USC allowed Saunders to participate. The tight end, who's projected to land anywhere from the third round to free agency, was fighting a broken bone in his left foot that he injured at the combine.
"The scouts knew my condition already," said Saunders, who pushed back surgery until Friday so he could compete. "I think I gained a few Brownie points coming out here on a broken foot and doing everything I did today."
Other former Gamecocks who participated were defensive linemen Ladi Ajiboye and Cliff Matthews; defensive backs Blake Baxley and Chris Culliver; offensive linemen Garrett Chisolm, Hutch Eckerson and Jarriel King; linebacker Josh Dickerson; fullback Patrick DiMarco; kicker/punter Spencer Lanning; and deep snapper Charles Turner.
