The Panthers had four wrestlers place first in their weight class to claim an individual state championship.

Things to do in New York this Saturday
Start your weekend the right way with our guide to brunch and the best events and places to go in the day and during the evening.
Sake! World Famous Sake Seminar
- Price band: 2/4
Delve into the history, production and food pairings of this popular Japanese spirit at this boozy learning session. Eight types of the fermented rice beverage will be offered—from light Daiginjo-shu to rich Junmai Genshu—along with a variety of cheeses from Murray's Cheese Bar. The class will be led by sake pro Monica Samuels.
- NYC Wine Company 167 W 23rd St, between Sixth and Seventh Aves
- Sat Mar 15
Sentenced to Change with Piper Kerman
- Price band: 1/4
- Critics choice
This panel discussion features a mega-inspiring coterie of women whose experience in prison—either as workers or inmates—has inspired them to fight for criminal-justice reform. Panelists include Stacey McGruder, founder of Sisters That Been There, a support group for formerly incarcerated women; Vivian Nixon, an education advocate for women with criminal records; and Tina Reynolds, who founded Birthing Behind Bars, a project addressing pregnancy and parenting in jail. Piper Kerman, who knows a thing or two on the subject (her memoir, Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison, inspired the Netflix series), moderates the discussion.
- Brooklyn Museum 200 Eastern Pkwy, at Washington Ave
- Sat Mar 15
"Bill Cunningham: Facades"
- Critics choice
In 1968, the legendary New York Times photographer set out to explore the idea of fashion as cultural history in a photo essay titled "Facades." More than 40 years later, 88 original prints from the project—featuring elaborate vintage attire culled from thrift shops and modeled in front of iconic NYC locations—offer as much insight into fashion as they do to Cunningham himself.
- New-York Historical Society 170 Central Park West, between 76th and 77th Sts
- Fri Mar 14 - Sun Jun 15
Joel Otterson
- Critics choice
Currently living and working in Los Angeles, Otterson was a fixture on New York's 1980s art scene, showing at such galleries as Nature Morte in the East Village and Jay Gorney in Soho. His sculpture combined craftsmanship and showmanship in equal measure, resulting in elaborate and fanciful objects and tableaux that involved pipe fitting, woodworking, ceramics, stained glass, quilting and lace making to varying degrees. (Imagine a visit to Pottery Barn while on LSD.) This selection of work dating from the 1980s and '90s coincides with his inclusion in this year's Whitney Biennial.
- Elizabeth Dee Gallery 545 W 20th St, between Tenth and Eleventh Aves
- Sat Mar 15 - Sat Apr 26
Ted Alexandro
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
Alexandro's cool, collected delivery and intelligent perspective have made him popular among a variety of audiences; we love him too. He's had two specials on Comedy Central and appears regularly on programs such as the Late Show with David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
Ambrose Akinmusire Quintet
- Price band: 2/4
- Critics choice
Ambrose Akinmusire has been on a steep upward trajectory since winning the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition in 2007. The trumpeter's ascent was hastened by a stunning sophomore album, When the Heart Emerges Glistening, issued by Blue Note in 2011. More than proving his chops (though it did that job), the disc revealed Akinmusire as a composer and bandleader of vision and range. Still, even his admirers might take a minute to warm up to the 31-year-old's newly issued Blue Note follow-up, the imagined savior is far easier to paint—not because it's a letdown, but because the ambition it reveals could seem daunting to someone who just wants to hear fierce blowing. There's that, but you also get chamber-music strings, poetic singing, social commentary and free-floating ensemble intrigues. It all shows that despite his velocity, Akinmusire is in no danger of coasting.—Steve Smith Follow Steve Smith on Twitter: @nightafternight See more in Live Music
- Jazz Standard 116 E 27th St, between Park Ave South and Lexington Ave
- Thu Mar 13 - Sun Mar 16
Artificial Brain + The Communion + Die Choking
- Price band: 1/4
- Critics choice
Long Island's Artificial Brain hits Brooklyn in support of Labyrinth Constellation, a meaty new Profound Lore set that's a must for fans of Gorguts and other death-metal acts that balance feverish complexity with mosh-friendly groove.
- Saint Vitus 1120 Manhattan Ave, between Box and Clay Sts, 11222
- Sat Mar 15
Coney Island USA Spring Gala 2014: The Ides of March
- Price band: 3/4
- Critics choice
More than any other single entity you can name, Coney Island USA is responsible for the city's (and the country's) ongoing burlesque and sideshow renaissance. The not-for-profit organization is still working hard to promote that scene, all while giving us joy via the Mermaid Parade, the Coney Island Circus Sideshow, Burlesque at the Beach, the Coney Island Museum, the Coney Island Film Festival and lots more. This year's fund-raising extravaganza features live music, sideshow freaks, go-go dancers, aerialists, burlesque stars and DJs—not to mention plenty of general carousing.

E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com for the event's address.

Nagin was a political novice before his first term as mayor in 2002, buoyed by strong support from white voters. He cast himself a reform-minded progressive who wasn't bound by party affiliations, as he snubbed fellow Democrat Kathleen Blanco and endorsed Republican Bobby Jindal's unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign in 2003.
Katrina elevated Nagin to the national stage, where he gained a reputation for colorful and sometimes cringe-inducing rhetoric.
During a radio interview broadcast in the storm's early aftermath, he angrily pleaded with federal officials to ''get every doggone Greyhound bus line in the country and get their asses moving to New Orleans.'' In January 2006, he apologized for a Martin Luther King Day speech in which he predicted New Orleans would be a ''chocolate city'' and asserted that ''God was mad at America.''
Strong support from black voters helped Nagin win re-election in 2006 despite widespread criticism of his post-Katrina leadership. But the glacial pace of rebuilding, a surge in violent crime and the budding City Hall corruption investigation chipped away at Nagin's popularity during his second term.
Nagin could not seek a third consecutive term because of term limits. Mitch Landrieu, who ran against Nagin in 2006, succeeded him in 2010.
Aaron Bennett, a businessman awaiting sentencing in a separate bribery case, told The Times-Picayune that he introduced Nagin to Fradella specifically to help the mayor get Home Depot granite installation work for a business that he and his sons founded. Fradella's company received more than $4 million in city contracts for repair work at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and in the French Quarter after Katrina, the indictment says.
Some of the allegations in the indictment have been the subject of state ethics complaints.
In April 2010, the Louisiana Board of Ethics charged Nagin with two possible violations of state ethics law. One charge involved Nagin's ''use of a credit card and/or gifts'' from St. Pierre. In the other charge, the Ethics Board said Stone Age LLC, the Nagin family's business, was compensated for installation services provided to Home Depot while the home improvement retailer was negotiating tax breaks from the city.
The indictment doesn't mention Home Depot by name but says Nagin approved a 2007 ordinance that allowed city property to be sold to an unidentified ''major retail corporation'' at the same time he was soliciting the retailer for work for his granite business.
Nagin has largely steered clear of the political arena since he left office. On his Twitter account, he describes his current occupations as author, public speaker and ''green energy entrepreneur.'' He wrote a self-published memoir called ''Katrina's Secrets: Storms After the Storm.''
A few hours before his indictment, Nagin retweeted a post by Texas megachurch pastor Joel Osteen that says, ''You are closest to your victory when you face the greatest opposition.''
Landrieu, Nagin's successor, called Friday a ''sad day'' for the city.
''Today's indictment of former Mayor Ray Nagin alleges serious violations of the public's trust,'' he said in a statement. ''Public corruption cannot and will not be tolerated.''
Nagin's indictment is another blemish on the reputation of the city, which has been plagued by decades of corruption.
''I was really disappointed in him,'' said Norlita Parker Wells, a city employee. ''I expected more from him. I think it's funny only because when he was entering office he said he was going to run such a tight ship. What happened?''
Associated Press writers Danny Robbins in Dallas, Kevin McGill and Chevel Johnson contributed to this report.

Two of inspirational music's best loved vocal acts are bringing their tie that binds to Lancaster this week.Gold City – one the top male quartets in Southern gospel music – will be together with Ivan "The Voice" Parker at Second Baptist Church, along with King's Cause. The concert is 7 p.m. Friday.Regularly featured on Bill Gaither's Homecoming Video and Concert Series, and a member of the Gaither Trio, Parker just received another favorite soloist award during the National Quartet Convention.
The one thing about walking down Main Street is that you don't have to stick to one sidewalk.Sure, there's a courthouse (west) side, but there's another side, too.
INDIAN LAND – There is something planned for everyone at the third annual Fall into Fun Festival.
The festival will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 4 at Indian Land Middle School. Proceeds from the festival will benefit the Del Webb Library at Indian Land, which is slated to open late this year or in early 2009.
The festival has a change of venue this year, from Sun City Carolina Lakes to Indian Land Middle School. Organizers hope the new location will offer better parking and more visibility from U.S. 521, to draw in more attendance.
I was born and raised in Lancaster. I now live in Columbia, but I keep up with what's going on in my hometown. I would like to respond to Cindy Rodgers' letter to the editor concerning the upcoming Senate race between Mandy Powers Norrell and Mick Mulvaney.
Well, the oil companies and the gas stations have found a way around being investigated for price gouging. I tried to get gas Wednesday night and every station I went to was either closed or roped off.
It seems to be a coincidence that they are running out of gas just as Attorney General Henry McMaster started investigating gas stations for price gouging.
Facing long lines, closed gas stations and frayed nerves, many motorists have found it increasingly difficult to locate gas in Lancaster County, and it's possible shortages could last for at least another week.
Gas stations in the Panhandle in particular have seen a run as motorists from Charlotte, where shortages have been severe, have crossed the stateline to fill up their tanks.
We are concerned citizens. We would like to know why our group at Catawba Mental Health Center has been terminated.
Our psychosocial rehabilitative group has been beneficial to us in preparing us to participate in the community and take better care of ourselves.
We have enjoyed coming to the meetings two-five days a week. We are shocked and disappointed in changes being made in our services.
We need services to prevent us from having too much time on our hands.
This often leads to our being rehospitalized, which costs our state much more.
On Sept. 21, in a back room of the Lancaster County Library, a scary thing happened. S.C. Rep. and S.C. Senate hopeful, Mick Mulvaney walked into a room of parents of special needs children. This was actually very brave of Mulvaney since he does not have a child with a disability and may have not had a clue as to what the joys, struggles and hopes of these parents were.
Here we are, fellow Americans. We are down to the final months to make our final decisions about who we are going to vote for president and vice president. I am writing because I care about my future, your future, the future of our friends and families, the future of our military and the future of the world.
We all should know that each nation has an impact on the entire world in one way or another. We know that America has a powerful impact on the world.
As Republican women, we suspect our vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin would cringe to know that her name was being used to try to promote a Democrat candidate as liberal as Mandy Powers Norrell. We would think her choice in this race would be an easy one – she would support Mick Mulvaney, the Republican candidate for State Senate, a true conservative reformer. We do, too.

With the royal wedding out of the way, talk is now rife on the royal baby.
Going by family tradition, Prince William and Kate Middleton - or the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as they are now officially to be known - should have their firstborn this time next year, barring any unseen circumstances.
Queen Elizabeth II had her first baby, Prince Charles, a year after her marriage, while William was born 11 months after the fairy-tale wedding of his parents the Prince of Wales and the then Lady Diana Spencer.
Whenever the baby comes, one thing is for sure: Prince William will not have to face the work or financial issues arising from the right to additional paternity leave that are a concern for many new British fathers.
The extended leave that came into force last month means men with newborn babies in the UK can now take time off work for up to six months, after their wives or partners end their maternity leave and go back to work.
For many employees, these new rules aimed at promoting work-life balance are not practical as they struggle to keep their jobs. Many employers think the regulations are bad for business at this time of economic hardship.
According to the British Chamber of Commerce (BCC), more than half of the 1,300 businesses it has polled say they expect the paternity leave requirements to be detrimental to their companies and could hamper job creation.
Economic data support their reservations. Although official figures last week revealed the economy grew 0.5 per cent in the first quarter, after the shock 0.5 per cent contraction in the previous quarter, this actually means Britain has not grown at all in the past six months.
UK retailers also suffered their worst drop in sales for 16 years in March, while a survey by the insolvency specialist Begbies Traynor found the number of companies showing signs of serious financial problems had climbed to 186,554 in the first quarter, or 26 per centover the previous quarter. And while unemployment has dropped, the number of those claiming benefits has risen, especially among the young.
David Frost, the BCC director general, said the extended leave scheme was just too much for companies to cope with, especially in the current economic climate.
The new rules also come at the same time as the phasing out of the retirement age of 65 for men and 60 for women. "In the face of promises by the government to listen to the needs of business and cut red tape, these two new pieces of employment regulation will hit businesses hard," says Mr Frost.
Additional paternity leave will allow an employee to take up to 26 weeks' leave to care for a newborn baby on top of the two weeks of ordinary paternity leave that was brought in nine years ago.
The rules, which also cover adoption, means parents can take six months off work each, with guaranteed pay for nine months in total. The rate is a modest £128.73 (Dh790) a week, or 90 per cent of average weekly earnings, whichever is less.
Those working for a small company fear they could lose their jobs if they take a few months off work. Also, many cannot afford to live on only one full income.
Largely for these reasons, 41 per cent of the 1,000 men surveyed by the comparison website uSwitch.com say they will not take up the extended leave option.
Compared with larger companies, small businesses are disproportionately affected by the new rules, says the Federation of Small Businesses. Apart from the costs, most companies with fewer than 10 staff normally do not have the resources to process claims and arrange cover.
The extended paternity leave was first proposed by the previous Labour government. The coalition - at the urging of the Liberal Democrat leader and deputy prime minister Nick Clegg - is now considering a more flexible shared parental scheme by 2015. If the EU parliament gets its way, there will be even longer parental leave and more generous benefits in all its 27 member states.
With last Friday's wedding reviving a global and domestic royal mania that has been a big boost to the UK's retailers and hospitality industry, businesses must now be banking their hopes on a royal baby soon.

My Little Night-Owl
August 8, 2006
Ick. It's 2 AM and I just finished doing some dishes. The bug refuses to go back to sleep and is happily playing right now. I gave up after nursing/bouncing him for the past hour. His schedule went down something like this tonight:
This can't be normal. Which is why I've contacted a sleep expert, except miss thang hasn't yet responded. I'm sure some would judge that this is somehow the fault of the parents. But I did everything the books said. Eat/sleep/play cycles, scheduling, attachment parenting, swaddling, putting him to sleep in his own bed… Well, everything except cry-it-out. At best, it looks like a quick-fix to all our problems. But at worst, it's…cry it out. Hours of wailing, inevitable vomiting, buckets of baby, mommy, and daddy tears, and T-o'd neighbors. Not an option.
But meanwhile, I'm miserable. I haven't had a good night's sleep in more than 10 months. I drag throughout the day, hanging out in my pj's until about 2 in the afternoon, which is when we finally get our day started because the entire morning is spent napping. I remember feeling so odd waking up at 1, 2, 3 AM to feed Kai when he was a newborn. It felt so lonley. The entire world was asleep except for me and him. But now this is my life. Up all night. Doing dishes at 2 AM because my only alternative is to lie on the ground in a miserable sleep limbo cycle where I would slowly drift back asleep only to be awakened by my baby using my hair/face/body as his personal jungle gym.
Can someone please send me on a vacation? How about a cute little bed and breakfast along the beach? A place where I can sleep in, eat yummy pastries, do some yoga, and have the bed all to myself (bedding no less than 400-thread-count, thank you very much). All I ask for is two measley days of rest. Should I send my sob story in to Oprah? She makes dreams happen, with that dream bus thingey of hers, right?
But we're taught to count our blessings. At least my husband has a good job which means I have the luxury of being a stay-at-home mom to deal with all this. At least my son's cuteness makes up for his sleep issues. At least I'll have a clean bowl to use in the morning for my cereal instead of a big 'ol Tupperware container. YESSS!!!

Why AVB?
First of all, what is AVB?
Audio Video Bridging (AVB for short) is an umbrella of new and augmented IEEE standards to provide for time synchronized delivery of audio and video media through networks, and assure that it gets there (Quality of Service, or QoS). With respect to Ethernet, it is the answer to question of "Why can't I get my audio and video reliably, synchronized, and with low latency over a network?"
What does AVB provide?
- Inherent time-synchronization of endpoints: real-time, low latency delivery of media as well as enabling time-sensitive control applications
- Reservation-based bandwidth management ensures QoS for media traffic
- Supports an arbitrary number of media clock domains
- Supports a heterogeneous network for media, control, and legacy traffic: existing non-media, non-time critical protocols such as TCP-IP, UDP, FTP, HTTP (web traffic), etc.
- Future extensibility for any isochronous data: audio, video, telemetry, etc.
Why will this work?
So it sounds too good to be true. There have been promises before (see below regarding the Historical Perspective), but there are key differences as to why will AVB work where others have failed.
- Open standards
- Audio and Video
- Supported by silicon – ground up!
- Broad applicability to multiple markets
Similar to why Ethernet has succeeded in being the ubiquitous networking media, AVB is an augmentation of the ubiquitous, open standards which are supported by a plethora of manufacturers. The IEEE (Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers) is the organization which defined "legacy" Ethernet defines the standards which multiple manufacturers can implement. NOTE: with the advent of AVB, non-timing critical, non-media data is termed 'legacy'. AVB is an augmentation and evolution of these open standards which have broad market appeal and multi-vendor implementations.
Additionally, our world is becoming richer, and richer with audio and video (AV) content. AVB has been built from the "ground up" with provisions for support of both audio and video. Thus it is designed with content rich, high definition media in mind.
As alluded to previously, there are a number of significant silicon manufacturers involved in the AVB revolution. With such manufacturers (which previous proprietary attempts could not garner), the necessary fundamental changes to Ethernet would are possible. Likewise, the number of manufacturers who are involved providing AVB solutions yields multiple solutions to manufacturers, which allows for the appropriate selection of solution (one size doesn't fit all) and design options as well as field of "coopertition" which lowers pricing. NOTE: "coopertition" is a manufactured term comprised of 'cooperation' and 'competition' whereby competitive entities work together (cooperate) to generate larger and new markets in which they can participate (and compete).
Also, AVB has a VERY broad appeal to multiple markets. This increases volume, which decreases prices, which grows the potential applications for the technology, which further yields more markets and higher volumes. Primary markets include professional applications, automotive, and high volume consumer markets. Previous protocols were conceived and driven from within small niche markets (typically professional), which simply did not have the broad appeal, and thus were not able to achieve mass penetration / adoption.
A historical perspective
There have been a number of proprietary protocols. Examples in professional audio include CobraNet, EtherSound, and Dante. All of these attempted to utilize some portions of Ethernet for audio distribution. These proprietary protocols were only available from the originating company, thus this "sole source" lead to higher cost solutions (often with per channel royalty business models), and limited adoption (due both the limited implementations and the aforementioned cost barriers).
In the past, proprietary attempts tried to work around the shortcomings of Ethernet. When Ethernet was conceived it was developed for the purpose of transferring data, but not in a deterministic or time sensitive manner.
Ask a better question
Those involved with AVB chose to ask a better question: "Why try to work around the issues of Ethernet, why don't we 'change' Ethernet!?" Many of those asking this "better question" were the low level silicon manufactures who make the chips which form the fundamental building blocks of today's ubiquitous Ethernet networking structure are built. Thus work began, which was originally called "Residential Ethernet" as a workgroup within 802.3 (the physical definition specifications for Ethernet). Fortunately it was realized that high quality, synchronized audio and video with bandwidth reservation to assure delivery would have MUCH broader application than within just the residential space. Thus the work was moved to the 802.1 portion of the Ethernet specification, and the Audio Video Bridging workgroup was born.
Just the beginning
The majority of work to date focuses on wired Ethernet, but work is underway to support wireless Ethernet (augmentation to IEEE 802.11) as well as other shared access networks (media over coax or power lines). As mentioned above, there are broad range of markets which can benefit from AVB. A number of these markets, specifically Consumer, desire other physical media for distribution. Stay tuned, the AVB revolution is just beginning.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Raheem Appleby scored 27 points and Alex Hamilton added 16 to help Louisiana Tech rally from a nine-point second half deficit to beat Florida State 71-66 in a first round National Invitational Tournament game Tuesday night.
Appleby, who made 12 of 19 shots, had 21 of points in the second half, including three quick baskets in a 52-second span that keyed an 11-0 run that gave the lower-seeded Bulldogs a 37-35 lead.
Louisiana Tech (27-6) will meet the winner of Wednesday's game between Southern Miss and Charleston Southern in second-round play of the NIT.
Michael Snaer led Florida State with 24 points in his final game for the Seminoles while junior Okaro White added 11. Snaer's 14 points in the first half led Florida State to a 28-24 lead.
Florida State (18-16) completed a disappointing season after winning the Atlantic Coast Conference a year ago.

The lobby had a welcome station with a jug of water with cucumber and two urns of coffee--one caffeinated, the other decaf, all refreshed througout the day. There was also a bar and a restaurant. In the morning, a complete buffet was offered, including omelettes to order and belgian waffles-all for $9.95. Great experience. For a 3 star hotel, this one exceeded my expectations.

Very nice and clean, would of thoroughly enjoyed my stay if there had been adequate accomodations for FOUR guest. It was unrealistic to expect 2 adults and 2 kids to sleep in one king sized bed. Felt like we were being punished for booking through Priceline. This was our first experience booking through Priceline.

Miller, Phil/In Cahoots - All That
Featuring great players from the worlds of both jazz and rock, In Cahoots is one of the best groups producing new jazz fusion in the U.K. today. It was founded in 1982 by composer and guitarist Phil Miller as a vehicle for his own compositions, jazz-inflected tunes notable for their unique melodies, intricacy, passages for passionate soloing, and expert use of rhythm. Showcasing Millers sublime compositions and contributions by others, and absolutely stellar playing by all involved, All That is one smoking disc. It is essential listening for followers of Phil Millers work as well as all fans of fusion and British jazz. Phil Miller has performed with Delivery, Matching Mole, Hatfield and the North and National Health. All That features the 'supergroup' lineup of Miller (guitar), Peter Lemer (keyboards), Jim Dvorak (trumpet), Elton Dean (alto & C melody sax, saxello), Fred Baker (bass guitar), and Mark Fletcher (drums). Phil's mature writing and the crack ensemble deliver the goods. Whether you call it rocked up jazz or jazzed up rock, it is exciting, excellently played music.
"The British have a long history of putting the conventions of jazz-rock fusion to better use than their American counterparts do, and guitarist/composer Phil Miller is a case in point. Leading a sextet he calls In Cahoots, Miller offers a solid set of muscular, no-nonsense modern jazz that delivers plenty of intellectual interest without ever descending into navel-gazing solo wankery and without ever sacrificing its powerful groove. True, much of this stuff is most definitely music for musicians -- check out the long, complex "Black Cat," for example (taking note of Pete Lemer's sparkling keyboard work and Fred Baker's huge fretless bass tone), or the rhythmically and melodically sideways "Sleight of Hand." But toward the end of the program Miller and company suddenly become much more friendly and accessible, with the absolutely lovely and surprisingly straight-ahead Latin jazz of "Upside" (composed by Baker) and a gorgeous ballad by Miller entitled "Out There." Great stuff." – All Music Guide

Re: The hedonistic generation. I believe that you are absolutely correct.
The young spent like there was no tomorrow. We became an 'immediate consumption society.' Investment in education through employment was pretty much abandoned during this period as there was no longer loyalty between employer and employee- either way. No more gold watch- no more next members of the family moving into the former work position of the retiree.
I was actually an advocate of Retire at 30 until you reach 65 then work for the rest of your life. Didn't quite work out that way- STILL working tho.

Re: AUD against the $US. Looks like the greenback is the weak child at this point compared to all of the other currencies I know.

My thinking is that there is a lot of sideline cash in the pockets of little guys that have watched the stock prices of pharma related stuff ride the up curve and they want some too. The volatility we have all seen is solid evidence of that. They will be quick to bail as well. I'm getting tips from the guy that works on my car- THAT gets me second guessing my relative complacency- added to my (SDS) position today.
If we don't declare war on somebody or don't have some other kind of black swan before the end of the month I believe that much of the speculative stuff and pharmas catching a positive review by an analyst will be bought heavily by money managers doing quarter end window dressing of the portfolios they manage.
Keeping some cash ready for after the Ides of March might pay some dividends of a serious nature.
I couldn't begin to guess after that though.

You're correct in that mandating minimum benefits reduces the employer's arsenal to attract workers since government already requires basic coverages.
I don't agree that the minimum coverages exceed what was offered prior to Obamacare. 2/3s of workers had a benefit program available to them as a result of their employment, either provided at low cost or part of their compensation. Those coverages all have hospitalization and major medical at least as basic program components. Many others also enjoy dental, prescription drug, vision, life insurance, supplemental disability, hearing, visiting nurse services and dependent care. the other 1/3 had bupkis. The taxpayer ended up paying the ridiculously exorbitant charges that the hospitals billed the government for indigent care. Those with a medical insurance program pay medical providers less than 1/3 what Uncle Sap pays as indigent care. That's why hospitals were screaming bloody murder- Obamacare was taking away the real gravy in the industry- payments for indigent care. You know ended up footing that boondoggle- us. We still pay for the indigent but there are a lot less of them and a lot less bankruptcies as a result of medical bills.
No way is it perfect but it is an improvement, IMHO.

I had a check as a payment to me made out to "Cash". It was a Key Bank check and I went to a Key Bank branch to cash it. The teller said "This is made out to cash. Do you have an account here?" "No, but your customer seems to have one."
"Then I will have to charge you a $5.00 service charge."
After I recovered I went to my bank and cashed the check- No charge.
Gee, I wonder why Key almost went under a couple of years ago. They still may.

Thanks for doing the baseball update this weekend, Bruce. Had to take some much needed R&R this weekend with the conclusion of basketball season.
Good to see Silver had a big day Saturday. Augie looks like he's still searching for answers at 1B.
Also looks like Texas could've been in position for a sweep had French been able to pitch Friday night.

Innova Helios I Inflatable Kayak
For the solo paddler who wants to travel the world or just has limited storage space, the Innova Helios I Inflatable Kayak fits under an airplane seat and weighs just 24 lbs. Although it doesn't weigh much, the heavy duty rubber coated 1,200 denier Nitrylon exterior is extremely tough, capable of resisting the typical bumps and abrasion that a well-traveled boat endures. Innova uses Lite-Pack on the deck and interior of the Helios I for further weight reduction and comfort against the skin. This material has a polyester face that's softer and significantly lighter than Nitrylon yet stands up to the usual cockpit and deck wear and tear. For multi-day paddling trips storage underneath the Innova Helios I Inflatable Kayak's front and rear decks provides ample storage for camping gear and plenty of good food. Set-up takes less than 10 minutes, and is not nearly as complicated or expensive as many folding kayaks on the market. For a similar boat with two seats be sure to check out the Innova Helios II Inflatable Kayak.
- Materials: Low stretch polyester and heavy duty rubber coated 1,200 denier Nitrylon exterior, Lite-Pack interior to reduce weight and packed size. Polyester face feels comfortable against bare skin
- Capacity: 1
- Weight capacity: 220 lbs.

Scientists Find Accelerator and Brake for Uncontrolled Cell Growth
Discoveries offer promising new way to treat wide array of diseases and conditions
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified a new way to regulate the uncontrolled growth of blood vessels, a major problem in a broad range of diseases and conditions.
The findings are published in the online edition of Nature Medicine by David A. Cheresh, PhD, professor of pathology in the UC San Diego School of Medicine and associate director for translational research at the Moores UCSD Cancer Center, and colleagues at the cancer center and at the University of Michigan.
Blood vessels grow and expand in association with a number of diseases. In particular, new blood vessel growth (known as angiogenesis) occurs during the growth of tumors, enabling them to expand and metastasize or spread to other parts of the body. Uncontrolled vascular growth can lead to vascular malformations and hemangiomas, which may become life-threatening. According to the National Cancer Institute, as many as 500 million people worldwide could benefit from therapies targeting angiogenesis.
Researchers have been trying to identify the switch mechanism that converts normal blood vessels from the resting state to the proliferative or diseased state. Cheresh, along with the studys first author Sudarshan Anand, also of the UCSD School of Medicine and the Moores Cancer Center, and colleagues discovered how an angiogenic switch turns on and developed a strategy to turn it back off.
During normal blood vessel formation or regeneration, endothelial cells forming the inner layer of blood vessels are exposed to factors in the local microenvironment that initiate the switch, causing blood vessels to begin to expand. Cheresh and colleagues identified a small microRNA (miR-132) responsible for controlling the switch.
Cheresh described the process in terms of a car and its brakes: In tumor vessels or in hemangiomas, this particular microRNA is abundant and capable of maintaining extensive vascular growth. The effect is similar to a car thats speeding out of control because its gas pedal is stuck to the floor and its brakes arent working.
The researchers designed a complementary microRNA, or anti-miR, that binds to and neutralizes the original microRNA. This anti-miR therapy in effect restores functionality to the brake pedal and uncontrolled blood vessel growth comes to a halt, said Cheresh, who noted the new anti-miR turned off the angiogenic switch controlling disease severity in mouse models of cancer and of retinal disorders.
As part of their study, Cheresh and colleagues designed a nanoparticle thats capable of delivering the microRNA or the anti-microRNA directly to the diseased or proliferating blood vessels. This delivery vehicle ensures the therapeutic benefit is maximized while reducing the possibility of toxicity or side effects.
By delivering more of this microRNA, the scientists said, it may be possible to promote new blood vessel development in patients who have suffered tissue damage from stroke, heart attacks, or diabetes. Conversely, treating patients with the anti-miR might reduce or inhibit blood vessel development in tumors or help reduce inflammation.
Co-authors with Cheresh and Anand are Bharat K. Majeti, Lisette M. Acevedo, Eric A. Murphy, Rajesh Mukthavaram, Lea Scheppke, Miller Huang, David J. Shields, Jeffrey N. Lindquist and Sara M. Weis, all of the UC San Diego department of pathology and Moores Cancer Center; and Philip E. Lapinski and Philip D. King of the department of microbiology and immunology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

I was on here a few months back trying to get some info on where to choose for my holiday.We had originally planned to book for summer but due to a family members illness we thought it in bad taste to just up and leave,no matter.We have started looking again but getting lots of mixed reviews on different hotels we have been looking at.There will be 3 of us going,2 adults and 1 child(7yrs old) I would have like to get a nice holiday booked last minute before she goes back to school but thats not looking unlikely as there are only 4.5 weeks left of summer hols.We are willing to go septemeber/october if need be cause weve been at the end of september before and the weather was fab. Is september and october generally still warm and sunny?
If anyone knows of any good booking sites please let me know, we went to thomson and thomas cook travel agents the other day and they were very rude!
Also any recommendations on where to stay,also much appreciated.

You are here:
To kick off 2012, this month we're featuring Focus for Facebook, an alternative to the official Facebook app that has a few nice features we'd like to share with you. Focus for Facebook claims to be "a faster and better way to stay up-to-date with Facebook."
If you're a Facebook user, you'll no doubt know it can be hard to keep up with everything that's going on. Focus for Facebook helps you out here by automatically hiding what it refers to as "app spam", i.e. updates from Facebook apps, games and quizzes. If you're more interested in what your friends are up to, rather than their latest game high scores, then you'll probably like this feature. You can still get to these posts if you like, but Focus for Facebook automatically filters them away into a separate screen for you.
Focus for Facebook also shows comments on a post directly underneath the post itself which means less navigating between separate screens. All your important information is displayed in a single, streamlined screen which we think is pretty handy.
Focus for Facebook has some favourable reviews and comments from VoiceOver users on the iTunes App Store. We also heard from Scott Chesworth who uses Focus for Facebook with VoiceOver on his iPhone 4:
I've tested what feels like a zillion Facebook apps, and Focus was the most accessible speaking as a VoiceOver user. Using Focus, I can keep up with statuses and links posted by my friends, like and comment on the stuff they've posted, and chat with people when they're online. There are a few gaps in the feature list, but when the developer adds a way of accessing messages, managing friend requests, tweaking your profile and perhaps a few choices to customise the spam filter, this will definitely be the only method of interacting with Facebook I'll need.
We want to hear from you, our users. Which apps and websites should we be writing about on the TechKnowMore blog? Is there an app you can no longer live without? What website is at the top of your favourites list? Drop us an email on email@example.com to let us know, and your favourite service could be featured in the very near future!

This little rake is light weight, and rakes like a big rake. It is so good, it is almost like you are sweeping your lawn. Absolutely love it.
Azusa, CA
Got frustrated with my giant rake because it was such a chore using it and storing it - it took up so much space on the tool wall - that I eventually found excuses not to use it. I opted for the smaller rake for quick jobs and it is so lightweight and fun to use that I use it for all my heavier gardening chores as well as quick rake-ups. Unless you have enormous tree leaves in your yard there is no need for a giant rake when this little rake is so easy to use and store.

"Any delay in making an interest or principal payment by Treasury even for a very short period of time would put the U.S. Treasury and overall financial markets in uncharted territory, and could trigger another catastrophic financial crisis," Zames, chairman of the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee, wrote in a letter to Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner.
Congress is facing a vote as early as next month on raising the debt ceiling. The Treasury projects that it will hit the cap on May 16, though it could use emergency measures to avoid default until about July 8.
The advisory committee includes representatives from firms including Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Bank of America Corp., Morgan Stanley and Soros Fund Management LLC. Zames's letter, dated yesterday, was released by the Treasury Department today.
A crisis stemming from failing to raise the debt ceiling could increase the Treasury's long-term funding costs and "the burden on the American taxpayer," Zames wrote. A default by the Treasury, "or even an extended delay in raising the debt ceiling, could lead to a downgrade of the U.S. sovereign credit rating."

Epic Boat Docking Failure
Posted by mrbueller on Feb. 01, 2010
Posted by mrbueller on Feb. 01, 2010
That's probably one of the beaches in India where they dismantle old container and tanker vessels. They just pull them up on the beach and start cutting.
I was there for this. We were filming this because we were making history in hiring the first woman captain. She's no longer a sea captain.
 non fail, its where they tear boats apart. so they need them as far up the beach as poss. see film called the iron eaters.
 They were intentionally beaching it it is a salvage yard to be taken apart doesn't anyone watch National Geographic?

Former Italy and Milan man Gennaro Gattuso has confirmed that he has his eyes on becoming a Coach – but only at the end of his playing career.
"It is my objective to become a Coach, but only in the future," the 2006 World Cup winner commented.
Gattuso, 34, has also been linked with a return to the Rossoneri following his move to Sion in the summer, but he insists that option is not on the horizon.
"A return to Milan? I certainly won't abandon this ship," he added. "I gave my word to Sion officials when I came here.
"I hope to open a cycle at this club and I don't have any nostalgia for home. Switzerland has, after all, a high qualify of life."

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says last night's victory over Stoke City was significant in the title race.
While Manchester City lost 1-0 at Everton, United beat Stoke 2-0 at Old Trafford to reel in the Blues and draw level on 54 points at the top of the table.
"But what I'm most pleased about is our own performance. I thought our football was terrific. We kept our composure, we were very patient. Okay, we won with two penalty kicks but I think the manner in which we played our football was the most important thing.
"It's still early doors [in terms of the title race]. It's only the last day in January. I always say that March is a very important month, as well as the beginning of April. We play Manchester City in April, for instance."
There's a long way to go before that, and next on the Reds' agenda is a trip to Stamford Bridge on Sunday 5 February. It's a match for which Sir Alex hopes he'll be able to recall a trio of players who missed the Stoke run-out on Tuesday night.
"We're hopeful Wayne Rooney, Nani and possibly Ashley Young will be fit for Sunday," he said."It's a good night for us, of course," Sir Alex told MUTV moments after the final whistle had blown at Goodison Park.

Everyone loves this each time I make it. The ingredients are so simple and combine to make a refreshing treat. My only complaint is that it turns out a little watery every time I make it -- even just after the two hours of chilling time the recipe indictates. Still, you drain off the excess liquid, and this is still a great side dish or light dessert served atop matzo.

This is the charoset recipe I return to each year since I first made it about five years ago or so. It's perfect. If I remember correctly, I think I sometimes squeeze out some of the juice from the grated apple with a towel and just enjoy it as a drink to avoid the wet problem.

Video games are an art
11/5/13 by DancingEngie
Originated from my website, www.karmi.biz
In 1900, when the cheap, simple "Brownie" cameras exploded on the market for the price of a dollar, amature and expert traditional artists began to ponder: "Is photography art?", a question still going on today. Some said it would exterminate the brush and paint. Some said it's fad, a quick-dying trend. As we all know, photography and traditional art are living side by side, and still survives with the addition of modern CG art.
So we flew to the moon, dropped nuclear bombs and made a huge industrial revolution which increased human lifespan considerably, and yet we cannot predict what will be the weather tomorrow. We didn't predict the Rock 'n' Roll and the smartphone, and I personally believe that we've yet to understand the full potential of the video game medium.
Video Games are an amazing medium for storytelling, education and experiences. Unfortunately, the mass media distorted video games to a point of loathsome hate with people who never touched a controller in their lives, calling that game a "Murder Simulator" and saying "This game caused a school shooting". This is a whole post entierly, but video games are much more than "Shooty shotty bang bang".
Video games are a step up in storytelling: You don't read the story nor watch it happen; you are literally experiencing it.
First, the term "video game" makes the medium have childish and playful associations, which, in recent years, they're clearly aren't. We're moved from laser guns to red or white pellets, and now to real life guns with actual sound design, blood, and realism (though I would argue "Military Shooters" aren't realistic at all). We need to find a better name for the medium, kinda like how comic books needed to change their name to "Graphic Novels" to get the respect they needed, and use more mature themes.
Video games are a step up in storytelling: You don't read the story nor watch it happen; you are literally experiencing it. Most games use to let you shoot terrorists or view Micheal Bay explosions, but video games are capable of doing things movies and books simply can't: like letting you choose your own way of attack, use level design to your advantage, and be non-linear, to the point that each playthrough is different.
Spec Ops: The Line is a great example for video game storytelling. Its story revolts around 3 US soldiers in a mission to save survivors of a giant sand-storm in Dubai. At first the game plays out like every generic modern shooter: going behind cover and shooting at enemies you don't even know who try are, but they're evil because they shoot at you. The game then takes a step up when it shows you the consequences of your actions of innocent civilians and eventually makes you shoot US soldiers that came with you. The game breaks the forth wall by knowing there's a player in front of the screen, telling you things like: "How many Americans have you killed today?", "There is no choice" and makes you do a "horrible thing" which I won't spoil, but it's dangerous, horrific, and I felt so guilty afterwards.
It speaks about how "modern shooters" are a far cry from reality, as real soldiers are faced with PTSD after killing innocents or even enemy soldiers, yet video games make it look like a cruel joy with little to no consequence. I recommend every FPS player to try out this game, coming to it as it was a generic shooter. Just do it.
Video game narratives are a significant step in the medium – in any medium – to have stories not only told, but experienced.
Bioshock is also a great example. (SPOILERS!)
You are a man called Jack, and your plane crashed right above an underwater city called Rapture, infested by sudo-zombies. Through the entire game, you are guided by a man calling himself "Atlas". He states his aim is to "Keep you alive". The player follows Atlas' advice without question, as the game is linear, and thus the player must do Atlas' quests. The plot twist comes when you must kill the head of Rapture, Andrew Ryan.
In his speech, the player discovers he has been mind-controlled to follow orders whenever the phrase "Would you kindly?" is being told, a phrase Atlas has been using throughout. After you kill Ryan and understand the amazing twist, Atlas says: "Would you kindly put the key in the goddamn machine?!". The player obviously doesn't want to, but in order for the game to proceed, he must, essentially, as there's no other choice.
Bioshock and Spec Ops shows us that video game narrative, with a player interacting with it behind a screen, is something interactive and personal that cannot be achieved through a movie, a TV show or a book. Video game narratives are a significant step in the medium – in any medium – to have stories not only told, but experienced.
We need to also think about a better name for the term "video game"…
