We Bought a Zoo That Became an Animal Kingdom
There isn't much to add to We Bought a Zoo, since the title says it all. Away from the screen for six years, director Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire) returns with this holiday-season sugarplum designed to please children of all ages in multiplexes of all sizes. Based on a book by Benjamin Mee, a British writer and former columnist for The Guardian whose family actually purchased a run-down zoo called Dartmoor Zoological Park and turned it into a 30-acre tourist attraction in Devon, England, that is still thriving, the movie (written by Mr. Crowe and Aline Brosh McKenna, who wrote The Devil Wears Prada) transported the setting to Southern California, but it lost none of its sense of fun and adventure in the trip across the pond. Animals are the same everywhere, and so are the people who love them.
Benjamin Mee is played by Matt Damon, a smart and gifted actor who brings an abundance of intelligence and heart to a role that is not much more than a pencil sketch on paper, fleshing out the role of a tired, confused, overworked and heartsick widower with two kids to raise (see George Clooney in The Descendants) who is fed up with the declining world of journalism.

No matter what we do, God will always love us. But sinning is not a matter of whether God loves us. It is a matter of whether we will accept His presence in our lives. As with all relationships, we can choose to let ours with God die. An examination of conscience is an opportunity to assess this relationship and the ways we have hurt or killed it. Looking the relationship over, we can see occasions where it is not what it could be, and with God's help we can then make it stronger than it was, removing the stumbling blocks that keep us from following God and being as close to Him as we could be.
St. Ignatius was aware of all of this as he developed the examination of conscience (called the "Examen" for short) that came to be included in the Spiritual Exercises. Ignatius says in the Exercises that the Examen should be prayed twice daily, for a few minutes each time (15 at the most), and at about the same time each day: once around lunchtime and once shortly before going to bed. This practice was so helpful that Ignatius and other early Jesuits usually suggested to people that they continue it even after they leave the retreat setting, and Jesuits everywhere are asked to do it as part of their regular spiritual practice.

Grace: To have light so that I may know the origin of all created things and the reason God has given them to me – and for the grace that I might use them accordingly
Text for Prayer: Genesis 1:26-31
Reflection: "Life is too short! Have fun while you can!" That is the advice of a pagan world where gluttony masquerades as joy and indulgence passes for hope. But even in this foggy world of pitiful approximations, we can see in our natures a yearning for something else and a recognition that we are meant for something eternal. Life is indeed short when compared to the timeless time without end that we are destined for. And our hearts yearn for that stable rock that we rest upon when we rest in God. We are truly pilgrims at heart, every one of us, until we rest in God. The things of this world cannot satisfy our hearts – worthy as they are as faint likenesses of God's infinite beauty, steps of the ladder which unites earth with heaven and by which we climb to God's throne.
All things are a means to know God (Rom 1:20). Their goodness testifies to the goodness of the One who created them. They are a means to love Him more. To love God's creation isn't sinful; it is sinful only to love them apart from God, stopping before our hearts can be turned toward the Creator. And we must understand the use of things as a means to develop our activities as individuals, as members of a family and of a society. Created things can be part of how we love one another, providing for those who are in need. And finally, created things play their part in the development of our own virtues, practicing stewardship, patience, and self-denial.
March 6th, 2014
Grace: To gain a clearer understanding of the personal relationship that God created me to have with Him.
Text for Prayer: Gen. 1-2
"Man is created to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord, and by this means to save his soul."
-St. Ignatius Loyola, Spiritual Exercises no. 23
St. Ignatius does not begin the Spiritual Exercises by talking about God. Instead, he begins by talking about the relationship we are meant to have with God. What is presented is meant to be considered, prayed over, and "savored interiorly" (cf. SpEx 2) in order to help us deepen our relationship with Jesus of Nazareth. Our ongoing relationship with God is always the key in every reflection given and every prayer made.
It is also important to note that St. Ignatius does not say that "man was created", but that "man is created". Present tense. God's creation of us is not some obscure act in the far-distant past. Fr. Joe Tetlow, S.J. uses a great image to describe God's ongoing creation: that of a light bulb. The electricity must always be present right there in the bulb. The instant that the electricity is taken out of the picture, the light is gone. Similarly, God is always present with us, giving us life and being, even during the worst things we do.
March 5th, 2014
Grace: To have a deep desire to know the will of God for my life and the freedom to be able to do it.
Text for prayer: Ps 139
Reflection: The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola are a great treasure for the Church, and those seeking to walk more closely with God have drawn upon their riches for five centuries now. Through the course of St. Ignatius' conversion, he kept notes about how it was that the Lord was leading him closer to Himself. Over the years, he steadily gave shape to these notes and created a kind of program of prayer for others to follow which would open them up to the grace of conversion and a greater ability to discern the will of God for their lives, as well as the interior freedom required to then respond to that Divine Will in greater generosity.
The Exercises, as the Saint writes himself, are about "disposing the soul to rid itself of all the disordered tendencies, and after it is rid, to seek and find the Divine Will" (Annotation 1). In other words, the Exercises are about detaching ourselves from all that might hold us back from knowing and seeking God's Will in our own lives and then helping us to learn how to make better choices that will lead us to God and genuine happiness.This overcoming of disordered attachments is a key component of the Exercises. In the course of this retreat then, we come to know the mercy and love of God only by first encountering the nature of our own obstacles that stand in the way of that relationship, whether they be our own sinfulness or attachments to old wounds and forms of slavery in our own life.
March 4th, 2014
Grace: To experience a deeply-felt gratitude for all of the blessings God has given me, that I may thereby become completely devoted to His Divine Majesty in effective love.
Text for Prayer: Spiritual Exercises no. 230-237
"Love ought to show itself more in deeds than in words."
-St. Ignatius Loyola, Spiritual Exercises #230
Sin and grace are rooted in the contrary attitudes of selfishness and love, reflecting the fundamental models of Satan and God that the Spiritual Exercises invites us to choose between. This is particularly clear in the Contemplation to Attain the Love of God (or "contemplatio" for short) that concludes the retreat.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (#1849) defines sin as the "failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a perverse attachment to certain goods." Sin "turns our hearts away" (#1850) from God's love. Ignoring the two Great Commandments of Jesus, we hurt others on purpose (damaging our relationships with God, ourselves, and others) because of our inordinate desires for money, sex, and power.
April 2nd, 2013
Grace: To rejoice intensely because of the great glory and joy of Christ our Lord.
Text for Prayer: See below.
Reflection: During the Spiritual Exercises Ignatius wants the retreatant to contemplate and reflect upon a number of different appearances of the Risen Lord to his friends and disciples. Over a period of forty days Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene (Mark 16:1-11), to Peter (Luke 24:9-12, 33-34,; John 20:1-10), to the Emmaus disciples (Luke 24:13-35), to the apostles (John 20:19-23), to Thomas (John 23:24-29), on the shore of Gennesaret (John 21:1-17), on the mountain of Galilee (Matthew 28:16-20), to more than five hundred Christians at once (1 Corinthians 15:6), and right before he ascends into heaven (Acts 1:1-12).
Ignatius makes two important observations regarding the Resurrection. First, during the Passion the divinity of the Lord seems to be hidden by the cruelty and violence that his humanity suffers. The brutality and gruesomeness are so grave that even his disciples, who had witnessed the Transfiguration only a few weeks before, flee in terror. Yet now, after his Resurrection, Christ's divinity shines through his humanity, manifesting itself in most glorious manner. Not even the finality of death could veil the divinity of Christ! His Resurrection opens the floodgates of grace, mercy, and love that had been waiting for us ever since our first parents gravely sinned in Eden. At every encounter with the risen Christ, the disciples are overwhelmed with joy, awe, and happiness.
April 1st, 2013
Grace: That I may feel intense joy and gladness for the great glory and joy of Christ our Lord risen from the dead.
Text: Spiritual Exercises #218-225; #299
Reflection: We now come to the Fourth Week of the Spiritual Exercises and shift our focus to the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ our Lord. In this week our goal is to arrive at an intense and lasting joy and gladness characteristic of true consolation.
The basic dynamic of the Spiritual Exercises is that in the First Week we take a brutally honest look at sin and this humbles us. From this point forward we recognize that it is foolish to try set up any rival good to God. We see clearly that if we try to live by our own lights rather than God's will, we are bound to failure. Therefore, we look to Christ in order that we might imitate Him and model our lives after His: this is the only way out of the abyss. Then, in the Third Week of the Exercises, we try to accompany Christ in His suffering, staying near Him as long as we can bear.
March 31st, 2013
Grace: To stay with Jesus in his suffering and humiliation, borne on behalf of my sins and the sins of humanity.
Text for Prayer: John: 19: 1-5
Reflection: The image of the scourged Christ is often associated with Holy Week and the Passion. Such an image usually portrays Christ, bare from the waist up, a red cloak draped over his shoulders. On his head is a crown of thorns and emanating from the crown streams of blood run down the sides of his face. His torso is also covered with blood, the scars of the beating by the Roman soldiers. His mien reflects sadness, pain, and anguish, all at the same time.
The image of the scourged Christ depicts Christ after his questioning by Pontius Pilate and immediately before his sentencing to death. The Gospel of John recounts how Pilate asked Jesus whether or not he was a king and what is truth, Pilate asked the crowd if it wanted Jesus or Barabbas, a revolutionary, released to them. When the crowd asked for Barabbas, Pilate had Jesus scourged, thinking that this punishment would satisfy the crowd and keep it from rioting. He then brought Jesus out the people proclaiming "Behold the man!" or in Latin, "Ecce Homo!" As we know, the crowd kept clamoring for Barabbas and demanded that Jesus be crucified, so that Pilate acquiesced, and sentenced Jesus to death.
March 30th, 2013
Grace: Sorrow, compassion, and shame because the Lord is undergoing His passion for my sins.
Text for Prayer: John 18:12-40
Reflection: What do we hope will vindicate us? When all is said and done, what do we wish to be the justification for our thoughts, words, deeds, and omissions? One often hears people use phrases like "we will be vindicated by history," meaning that hindsight will show either that they did the pragmatic (though not always honest) thing, or that their behavior will be vindicated by opinions fashionable at some future point. Jesus encounters these ways of thinking and others at His trial, but refuses to be vindicated by anyone or anything beyond Himself.
First, we see Jesus go before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin. Before Jesus is even arrested, Caiaphas advocates His death by stating that "it is better for one man to die for the people, than for the whole nation to be destroyed" (Jn. 11:50). Caiaphas' primary preoccupation is not whether Jesus' claim is true or not, but whether Israel will be destroyed. In the second part of Jesus of Nazareth, Pope Benedict observes that
there were certain circles within the Sanhedrin that would have favored the liberation of Israel through political and military means. But the way in which Jesus presented His claim seemed to them clearly unsuited to the effective advancement of their cause.
March 29th, 2013
Grace: Ask for the grace of being able to tell God, "not my will but yours be done."
Text for Prayer: John 18:1-27
Reflection: In these scenes we see the betrayal of Jesus by two of his apostles: Judas who betrays him for money and Peter who denies him for fear of his own life. Judas appears two times in the Gospel of John before the Last Supper. On both occasions (John 6:70-71 & John 12:4) he breaks the general atmosphere of celebration, of community, of solemnity, and sacredness that Jesus had created. On the first occasion John makes sure to show how Judas is a victim to the will of the evil spirit. On the second occasion, when Judas protests the use of expensive perfume to anoint Jesus, John uses the word "pure" to describe the perfume. In Greek this word for "pure" could also be used to express fidelity and authenticity. Perhaps St. John's use of the word is an invitation to reflect upon Judas' desire to sell his own fidelity and authenticity, and that divided reality we experience in our own hearts when we sell our identity for much less.
The mystery of evil in Judas as told by St. John is present in more than just the man who betrayed our Lord. It will always be a symbol of a more profound and ancient rupture, at first glance an impassable fissure that even communion with God seemingly cannot mend. The Evangelist perceives that even among Jesus' closest friends the spirit of evil, of division, and of hate works its way into the communion of the group. For Judas the reality of this evil is too much to bear, the fissure to deep to overcome, and he loses hope. How could he have known that what Jesus was going to undergo and endure would end with his glorious resurrection? Perhaps if Judas only believed in Christ's words and deeds would things have gone differently?

Deep-Sky Imaging with Digital Cameras
What's more, digital cameras can also be used for regular daytime photography. This is not the case with expensive astronomical CCD cameras, which are really single-purpose units.
Practically anyone can now capture close-up views of the Moon and bright planets, often achieving better results than with a 35-millimeter film camera. All you have to do is hold the camera up to the telescope eyepiece or attach it directly to the eyepiece with a homemade or commercial bracket, aim, focus, and shoot. You get instant results and can just delete the bloopers.
For basic, wide-field shots of constellations and planet conjunctions, you don't even need a telescope — just a camera capable of making exposures up to about 8 to 15 seconds and a means to hold it steady, such as a tripod. Since all the controls are on the camera itself, you don't need a computer in the field. Your home computer is used later to sort, process, and archive the images.
In another article, I covered the basics of how to image the Sun, Moon, and planets bright targets through a telescope with a digital camera. This article looks at ways advanced amateurs can record dim star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies.
Overcoming Electronic Noise
"At ambient temperatures above 32° Fahrenheit, or 0° Celsius, noise builds up quickly," notes Arpad Kovacsy, who has imaged with a Coolpix 995 and 6-inch Astro-Physics refractor from his light-polluted home in suburban Washington, D.C. "One simple way to partly compensate for this effect is to turn off the camera between exposures to allow it to cool down. My dark-frame sequence [below] demonstrates how rapidly noise builds up in consecutive shots, and how turning off the camera mitigates this problem somewhat."
Kovacsy's first image, taken at an ambient temperature of 66° F, is nearly free of noise. The 10th consecutive image is the worst. Turning off the camera for 10 minutes produced an image as clean as the first. "Note how even the 10th image taken at 40° F has less noise than the second image taken at 66° F," he adds. "Based on my trials, temperatures of 32° F or below work best when taking minute-long exposures with the Coolpix 995."

This would be a easy decision, getting Super Mario Kart for essentially free with MK8, if it wasn't for Nintendo's extrotionate eShop prices for retail releases. Why should I buy a digital version of the game for £10 more than Amazon is selling? (assuming MK8 follows the trend of £49.99 for retail games)

I might get SpeedX 3D, I remember the original being ok as far as mobile games go. Tappingo also looks pretty cool.
Just to make 100% sure, can the download version of New Super Luigi U be played without New Super Mario Bros U? I don't really want to pay the £30 it costs for the original game, but I'd happily pay £13.50 for some quality 2D Mario goodness at a higher difficulty level.
I caught the end just as I woke up, only got to see Rhydon and Blastoise go down (Blue's last two Pokemon), but it was magical. The full successful Elite Four and Champion run should be up on YouTube, so I'll watch it soon. ALL HAIL HELIX!
This is sad... I mean REALLY sad... I know servers have to go down eventually, but its usually one or two games at a time, not entire platforms all at once. Online play wasn't a big part of Nintendo last generation, but I still play Mario Kart Wii once in a while these days, and that game is still insanely popular online. Guess I'll have to fulfill my dream of having over 9000 VR rank before then...
If nothing about this game gets annouced for UK by the time the US version comes out, I most likely will have to buy a American 2DS just for this game and all the other games Atlus is holding at ransom from Europe.
With all this doom-and-gloom talk with sales numbers, review scores, analysts and trolls everywhere you look in the gaming industry, its nice to see some good-hearted fun once in a while
Diddy being back is cool and all, but my question is what Samus is doing in the eighth screenshot. Looks like a new move to me.
@BAGBOY If in the very unlikely event Yoshi doesn't come back, I will dress up as a Yoshi and stick my tounge out at people all day. They're saving him for the Yarn Yoshi annoucement, trust me. They're not going to get rid of one of the original Smash 64 characters who is still extremely relevent.
Might end up getting Trine 2 for that price, and I'll most likely buy Bird Mania simply because it's less than a pound. I also might pick up Crimson Shroud and Liberation Maiden which are also on sale.
Seriously, do third parties WANT the Wii U to fail? The target audience for the Wii U version was already small enough, and now when/if they do release the Wii U version, that audience will be almost non-existant. And then Ubisoft will complain that the Wii U version did not sell well, so they will not give the console more support in the future, when its their fault as it is Nintendo's. Third parties are just as much to blame for the Wii U's poor software sales as Nintendo is.
RIP Wii U third party support, 2012-2014
I swear Ubisoft pissed off Nintendo fans this time last year as well... AHEMMraymanlegendsAHEMM
Awesome, reminds me of those Soul Eater-Brawl videos that came out a few years ago. I remember those being pretty cool.
The Gamepad is the only thing that gives the Wii U any identity over the PS4 and Xbox One. Without it, it is just an underpowered system which can't compete on any level with its competitors. Removing it would be the final nail in the coffin for the console.
Looks slow and boring, there's just nothing in the trailer to get hyped about. I love the original Yoshi's Island, being the first non-Pokemon game I ever played, but I'm not excited about this game whatsoever.
5th in that room... Think I'm gonna call it a night... Good games, gotta get more practise in for the next NL Mario Kart event!
Is it just me, or are people just way more evil with their items in 7 than they are in Wii? Anyway, joint last with 10 points...
Awesome, I'll probably lose every race because i haven't played this game for months, but that doesn't mean I won't try!
Nice to see independent guys doing well, but I'd much rather see Capcom actually do something themselves with Mega Man for once which isn't a terrible iOS game...
I'm OK with Smash 4 not having a story mode (SSE was OK, but I could live without it), but the reason that Sakurai gives makes no sense at all to me. Every cutscene in every game gets uploaded to the Interent, and if everyone followed his thought process, what would be the point of even having cutscenes in any game? I simply don't understand him on this.
But as long as we get Classic, Event and All Star modes, and a Melee-style Adventure mode, it should be fine.
In terms of the stage, I'm actaully thinking the All-Star mode hub area. The background looks similar to Brawls, and those platforms would make good places to have the Heart Containers.
Okami HD, and hopefully I can get back into Persona 4 after not playing it for a few weeks. Also a bit of Mario Kart Wii online, which I'm playing to mark the end of my Wii era since I'm getting a Wii U next week. The first game my Wii played will also be the last one it'll play while having a dedicated spot under my TV.
Its kinda amazing how something that is extremely easy to do wasn't discovered until just under 14 years since the game came out, and how new stuff is being discovered in games years, sometimes decades, after they first released. The AGDQ stream really made be interested in speed-running, so this actually pretty exciting more me.
Eh, I'd just get the PS1 version on PSN if I ever want this game. The art style simply don't look as good as the other versions, plus its cheaper on both the Wii Shop and PSN.
@Kroisos Because Nintendo takes a share of the profits for every game sold for their hardware from third parties. If you take away that support, that is a lot of money down the drain. And without third party games, many people simply won't buy the console, which reduces the overall software sales for the console more. Just like how third parties rely on the console manufacturers to offer a platform to develop for, console developers rely on third parties to sell the hardware.
Nintendo completely screwed up when designing the Wii U. By making the architecture so different to the Xbox One and PS4 (and even the 360 and PS3) and making it so comparatively weaker to the other eighth gen systems, they have alienated thrid parties in terms of multiplatform games, which frequently are the most profitable games for them. Third parties simply do not want to develop multiplats for the Wii U, and when they do the games are poorly optimized and sell the worst of all platforms by a long shot in most instances.
Nintendo are not doomed, and the Wii U is still completely worth buying for many people for Nintendo exclusive titles alone. But to be honest, with every bad article that comes out, I see the the chances of the Wii U being Nintendo's last home console go up more and more.
The 3DS though, is doing absolutely amazingly and Nintendo are doing a fine job with it.
DANG IT. I might have gotten these if it wasn't in the two hours of the day that I just happened to not have a computer near me...
Even though its sad that they're pretty much dead now, its hard to care since they haven't made a good game in almost ten years. I say let the company die so the employees that are still there can move onto bigger and better things.
I watched the anime a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it, so if this game ever comes to the West I'd be sure to pick it up. Too bad even it if ever comes out here (which to be honest is unlikely), it most likely will have to wait for the English dub to finish, and that could take years...
It is completey fine to have local multiplayer in games, in fact I think games that have online multiplayer but not local multiplayer are just stupid.
But, we are now in 2014, decades after online multiplayer was introduced. There is absolutley no excuse not to have online in your games now. How would having online ruin the living room experience? People who just want to play locally can just ignore the online aspects, and it would only please people who play online. I would of gotten a Wii U much earlier if I could play Mario with friends who live hours away, instead of having to wait sometimes months to see them in person.
Nintendo needs to get into the 21st centuary, this is unaccpetable.
I guess its good that they are using assets which would otherwise never be used, but this does feel like a giant middle finger to the people who supported Legends 3, and Mega Man as a whole.
I was going to put in some money for the Kickstarter, but I didn't because they wasn't any 100% confirmation that it wouldn't be released in PAL regions. Seeing that there still isn't a confirmed date, maybe I made the right decision. But if this does come out in the UK at some point, I'll pick it up day one.
If what he is saying is true, it'll be great to see a third party actually putting effort into the Wii U versions of multiplat games. The reason that the Wii U has been struggling with framerates and textures with games such as ACIV is because the developers are simply not optimizing the game for the system. Of course the Wii U version of Project CARS won't look as good as the PS4 and Xbone versions, and definitely not the PC version, but with actual effort it'll be just as playable, and maybe the best overall version with the gamepad's features.

1st shot solids?
After reading much here and elsewhere about velocity and bullet form retention as being a real issue with higher velocity rounds such as 460 Weatherby it occurred to me.. why not just shoot solids from shot #1 rather than using them as back up for shot 2 or 3? I am new to this of course so please excuse if this is a standard operating procedure I am just not aware of. Thanks and I love this site!

Well one reason, you can have a solid go right through a animal into another animal.
Another reason is a soft...to me anyway inflicts more damage immediately in whatever area the bullet first hit. So instead of a small hole through the lungs...you have a huge hole.
I'd rather have the huge hole...most days....unless my bullet hits a bone, then I'd rather have a solid.

Most modern day but not all PH's want you to use an expanding bullet to make th biggest hole possible in your buffalo. A solid works but it doesn't cause the tissue damage and therefore the followup can be much longer. Shattering a leg bone and having it explode into the chest cavity can provide a quick demise with a solid as can a CNS shot but these are not the norm. A modern premium expanding bullet and particularly the mono metals will provide everything you need for buffalo hunting including great penetration.Mark H. Young

my point was many of those comments I have read against the 460 claim issue with disintegration of an expanding bullet at those velocities. Or is this really not an issue with the correct bullet?

You've got it. The 460 WBY didn't do very well with the existing softpoints when it came out. At this time with SAF, Northforks, TSX etc it should be better than ever.Mark H. Young

The use of controlled expansion soft point bullets for the first shot on cape buffalo has nothing to do with velocity, or bullet blow-up! The use of a quality controlled expansion bullets for the first shot on a cape buffalo is because the controlled expansion bullet does the most tissue damage, to insure the shortest path to the animals humane death! With the first shot one can pick his shot so as to make that shot do the most tissue damage it can do. The solids that follow that first shot will normally have to traverse more tissue, and bone to get into the vitals in the chest from behind with the animal running away, or travel a straight line from the front into the CNS (spine and/or brain) or breakdown the heavy bones on the shoulders or down through the horn boss when he charges!
The high velocity of the cartridges like the 460 Wby Mag and others of that ilk are not needed for the hunting of dangerous game. High velocity only does two things well, and they are increase recoil, and make the bullet shoot flatter, and neither is needed for hunting dangerous game. High recoil makes a rifle very hard to shoot accurately, for two reasons. Reason #1 is the heavier the recoil the less likely a person will shoot the rifle enough to get really good with it in the field. #2 reason is the greatest use of velocity is to make the rifle shoot flatter for long range shooting. Both these reasons combined are detrimental to precise shooting, at any range, for any game animal. The dangerous game is only dangerous at close range, so the only need for a very flat shooting rifle is on an escaping animal that was poorly shot with the first shot, or as back-up for a well placed first shot.
If anyone wants to see for himself what most PHs think of the 460 Wby Mag rifles or any rifle with a muzzle brake, it will be evident from the look on his face when you pull that shiny new Wby cannon out of the case in camp!DUGABOY1 www.doublerifleshooterssociety.com

The idea of using the solid for buffalo was result of poor bullet performance BEFORE we had the myriad excellent controlled expansion bullets we enjoy today. With modern bullets available now, the first bullet should be one of those super softs. Buffalo are big, hardy animals with big bones and require good bullets.

Wabco is partnering with Huf Electronics Bretten to develop Wabco's next generation tire pressure monitoring system for trucks, buses and trailers. Wabco's new system will be available to original equipment manufacturers and in the aftermarket in the second half of 2014.Building on its IVTM system, Wabco expects to offer its customers a choice of internally or externally mounted tire sensors or a mix of both types of sensors on new commercial vehicles. In the new system, Wabco will use the additional tire temperature monitoring capability of the internal sensor technology from Huf Electronics Bretten.Tire pressure monitoring detects tire leakages at an early stage, allowing drivers to park safely and take appropriate action to minimize vehicle downtime. Tire leakages are the most frequent reason for commercial vehicle downtime. Proper inflation extends tire life by as much as 20% and reduces fuel consumption by up to 2%. With Wabco's Trailer telematics and IVTM system, fleet managers can remotely monitor tire pressure on each tire on every trailer via a Web portal.In addition, Wabco's new system will be able to be adopted worldwide and will fit any commercial vehicle rim size, including those for off-road vehicles.

Judged: 1 1 1 There are reasons for them to think the way they do, to think that they own us. For those with the wisdom to research and find the truth, what follows may be illuminating. Most people think there is only one kind of ownership, but in reality there are two. Allodial ownership is absolute ownership owing no fees, duties or taxes after purchase. The idea is that if you really own it, it belongs to you completely and no one else has any attachments to it, nor can they attach it without your permission. Feudal ownership is essentially paying the allodial owner for the ongoing privilege {which is termed a right but may be revoked at any time by the allodial owner} of treating the property as if it were owned. This is the ownership allowed to the common people, so it can be asserted that the USA is a fiefdom under feudal Lords we don't see, that we pay periodically to maintain our privilege of calling the stuff we have "ours". This is the "ownership" that allows for property taxes, license fees, imminent domain and law enforcement confiscation of our land and homes, etc. When you understand the difference between these two, it is easy to see why "they" think they own us. They do. We, the people, have abdicated so much more than we realize, but sadly we no longer have the inner strength to face up to what we've been handed and take back what's been taken from us. It is so much easier to assume the fantasy we perceive is real. Within this illusion is the role of religion; put simply religion assures and sedates its followers, while inciting fear those willing to stand against the illusion {call this mind control, or social engineering}. How much of the picture you can see is entirely up to you. Funny thing is, when you do see the "big picture", the verse that tells us that in the time of the end God will send upon us a strong delusion takes on all new dimensions. |

Judged: 1 No disease was ever eradicated nor will they ever be. All vaccines did was dumb down our immune systems by turning off the TLR's so they no longer recognize those infections as foreign. Meningococcal Porin PorB Prevents Cellular Apoptosis in a Toll-Like Receptor 2- and NF-κB-Independent Manner[down-pointing small open triangle] http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2... That means it prevents cell death so you can get your its and giggles with cancers instead of what ever they thought caused Meningitis that week.... Russia just reported last week a girl carrying Rabies for over a month and they didn't even know she was sick. Not only have vaccines destroyed our immune systems--giving us spirochetal infected vaccines for over 30yrs. formerly known as Prion/AIDS/MadCow allows all infectious antigens to fold into its genes to perpetuate those infections as well. In fact we know in the immune suppression the HeLa Cells have caused we are even being infected with plant DNA sharing their genes with spirochetal prion proteins. Anyone who allows vaccination or who vaccinates is insane knowing over 80% of the pop.s are infected with the real cause of AIDS--spirochetes. http://www.youtube.com/watch... Just because they refused to culture it== http://www.medsci.org/v10p0362.htm And just because PCR/DNA tests can be worthless== Molecular diagnosis of Borrelia bacteria for the diagnosis of Lyme disease. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23480587 Expert Opin Med Diagn. 2011 Mar;5(2):135-49. doi: 10.1517/17530059.2011.555396.

They have worked all yr on just that. Garnering ETHICAL support across the country to give everyone Anthrax and Smallpox vaccines knowing you are already infected with gene sharing stealth. SAYS BARTHOLD: "The viability of noncultivable [it takes months not weeks to reculture spirochetes from the spheroplast form and of course, see the older data on the viability of the "granule" form] spirochetes in antibiotic-treated mice (demonstrable by PCR) was confirmed by transplantation of tissue allografts from treated mice into SCID mice, with dissemination of spirochetal DNA to multiple recipient tissues, and by xenodiagnosis, including acquisition by ticks, transmission by ticks to SCID mice, and survival through molting into nymphs and then into adults. Furthermore, PCR-positive heart base tissue from antibiotic-treated mice revealed RNA transcription of several B. burgdorferi genes. These results extended previous studies with ceftriaxone, indicating that antibiotic treatment is unable to clear persisting spirochetes, which remain viable and infectious, but are nondividing or slowly dividing." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19995919 When they lied about the real cause of AIDS and the real cause of MadCow they knew where it came from--and did nothing. France detecting the multiple infections in the real AIDS immune suppression at 3:08. http://www.youtube.com/watch... So ya got to ask---why do we have 246 pages of NIH funded lies of HIV, when we KNOW HIV did not cause AIDS? LOL http://projectreporter.nih.gov/reporter_searc... Spirochetes Did and Do!!! THE SAME REASON WE ONLY HAVE 8 PAGES GOING TO EBV RESEARCH....LOL KNOWING 90% OF THE PUBLIC IS INFECTED AND IS JUST A VIRAL FORM OF SPRIOCHETAL DISEASE. http://projectreporter.nih.gov/reporter_searc... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21112481 ONE BAND NEEDED ON WESTERN BLOT BY IGENEX. 2010 Oct Abstract NO ONE GOT THE MEMO SO THEY POSTED IT AGAIN IN 2013 JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT THE USA CRIMINALS WERE DOING TO YOU..... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23425802 ONE BAND NEEDED BY IGENEX. 41 kDa is FLAGGELLIN, BUT IF THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEMS ARE VERY DEPRESSED THEY MAY NOT EVEN MAKE ONE BAND TO SAY POS. BECAUSE THE CRIMINALS USE AN ELISA TEST ALMOST ALWAYS NEG. TO RULE OUT THE TRUTH SO IT WON'T BE SEEN. So how did we get over 80% of the pop.s infected with gene sharing stealth spirochetal infections that don't care what they share their genes with? Antigenic variation through targeted DNA rearrangements provides a powerful diversity generating mechanism that allows a variety of pathogens to stay one step ahead of acquired immunity in their hosts. The Lyme disease spirochete encodes such a system that is required for persistent infection. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23469068 http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F1... Occasionally, discrete PrPd accumulations were identified within nerve terminals in association with tubular structures which appeared to originate at the cell membrane (figure 5b). ++++++++++ While this may represent transfer of PrPd between peripheral nerve terminals and chromaffin cells, PrPd accumulation was also found on chromaffin cells adjacent to endothelial cells surrounding blood vessels. These observations do not discriminate between possible transfer of infectivity to chromaffin cells via nerves or vascular sources. PrPd was also observed within the lysosomes of infrequent macrophages, http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F1... |

Further supporting this notion, a recent study by Xie et al. provides strong evidence that B cell progenitors, and even some mature B cells, can be induced to adopt the gene expression patterns, morphology, and functional activities of macrophages. SO IF THOSE MACROPHAGES ARE INFECTED THEY CAN AND ARE TRANSMITTING THOSE INFECTIONS. ========== HOW DO WE KNOW THIS? BECAUSE PRION IS JUST A MORPHOLOGICAL FORM OF BORRELIA THEY LIED ABOUT TO PROTECT PROFITS AND ENABLE THEM TO CONTINUE TO INFECT US. THEY NOW PROPAGATE PRION WHERE WE GOT IT....LOL HeLa CELLS AND ECOLI USED IN VACCINES. PrP(Sc) was more efficiently transmitted from adherent spleen cells to neuronal cells than from floating spleen cells. The adherent spleen cells were composed of macrophages (80%), dendritic cells (8%) and follicular dendritic cells (3%), indicating that macrophages play an important role in PrP(Sc) transmission from immune cells to neuronal cells. Although PrP(Sc) in the immune cells used as donor cells was gradually degraded, the PrP(Sc) transmitted to neuronal cells was observed by Western blot analysis. Investigation of the mechanism of PrP(Sc) transmission between cells represents an important step towards understanding the pathogenesis of prion diseases. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23246505 OUR CDC/FDA/USDA/IDSA/AMA/AAP/WHO/ NIH HAVE NOT WORKED FOR THE PEOPLE IN OVER 35YRS. THEY WERE PAID TO SHUT UP AND PUT OUT AND THAT IS ALL...DUMPING ALL OF YOU OVERBOARD FOR PROFITS AND YOUR LAND! 1956 VIDEO OF HeLa CELL CULTURES...MUST WATCH SPIROCHETAL INFECTED CELL LINES USED IN MOST VACCINES COS' THEY LIKED YOU SO MUCH!!! http://vimeo.com/9581140 THOSE CELLS WERE ALIVE AND TEAMING WITH SPIROCHETAL PRION PROTEINS. ========== The Early Dissemination Defect Attributed to Disruption of Decorin-binding Proteins is Abolished in Chronic Murine Lyme Borreliosis. Imai DM, Samuels DS, Feng S, Hodzic E, Olsen K, Barthold SW. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23460518 Infect Immun. 2013 Mar 4.[Epub ahead of print] So if HeLa cells were all infective why don't we all break out with syphilis and why do they not detect it in most tests? Because they mixed it with other infections like Ecoli and Mycoplasma to share their genes in the depressed immune systems they caused. They knew in 1985 when the test for HepB found 88% of HIV it was all the same thing--and did nothing to stop them. So what to do? You find a Lyme Literate doctor to treat your syndromes, you stop adding to the viral/fungal/prion mix because we already know 1/3 of the worlds pop.s has TB, 1/3 of the worlds pop.s has Toxoplasmosis, 90% of the pop.s had EBV/LYME and they could have all systematically been treated to cure to stop the pandemic of syndromes/psych/cancers that is all spirochetal disease. |

United States Senator
Rhode Island
March 17, 2010
Committee on the Judiciary
Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts
Hearing on "Could Bankruptcy Reform Help Preserve Small Business Jobs?" March 17, 2010
Statement of Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
The hearing will come to order.
While some economists may have declared the recession over, its painful aftermath - in the form of a prolonged period of unemployment - continues nationwide. The national unemployment rate stands at almost 10% and the situation is even worse in some areas: Senator Session's state of Alabama has an 11.1% unemployment rate and my state of Rhode Island ranks third nationwide at 12.7%. Job retention and preservation should be, and is, at the top of our legislative agenda.
Today we are going to explore changes to the Bankruptcy Code that would help small companies to reorganize and stay in business. The ideas we will discuss today are worthwhile to consider for two reasons: (1) small businesses account for over half of all jobs nationwide; and (2) unlike other job-preserving measures like tax cuts and government investment, bankruptcy reform can be accomplished with zero cost to the federal budget.
While small business bankruptcy reforms may prove a powerful tool in cutting job losses, the need for a new bankruptcy reorganization option has been clear for some time. Chapter 11 was designed for large, publicly-traded companies and doesn't work well for smaller companies for a number of reasons. First, Chapter 11 extinguishes equity so the debtor-owners exit the bankruptcy not owning their company anymore. A change in shareholders may not discourage big corporations from reorganizing, but for small businesses the corporate entity and its owner cannot be so easily disaggregated.
Second, small businesses often have a number of trade creditors and other unsecured creditors that do not participate in a Chapter 11 because their claims are too small. This failure to participate leaves the secured creditors steering the bankruptcy, often toward liquidation.
And finally, the Chapter 11 process is time-consuming and expensive and attorneys fees and other administrative costs often eat up so much of the firm's value that there is not enough left for the firm to emerge from bankruptcy as a going entity.
The National Bankruptcy Conference has proposed addressing these three issues by opening up Chapter 12 - a process currently available only to family farms and fishermen - to a wider group of small businesses. I expect that Judge Small will discuss this proposal in his testimony today. I have reviewed the NBC's report and believe that they make a strong case for the Chapter 12 approach.
I want to stress however that I look forward to hearing the thoughts of all of the witnesses on possible small business bankruptcy reforms. It appears from the written testimony that each of you acknowledges that certain changes to bankruptcy law might help to preserve small business value and to save jobs.
As we discuss the NBC proposal, there are a number of variables about which I am interested in getting the witnesses' feedback. Is the proposed definition of "small business entity" appropriate? Should the reforms be made permanent or be enacted on a trial basis as Chapter 12 for family farms initially was?
Through it all, one thing is clear: Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy, and they're hurting in today's economic climate. We should be considering all options, including reforms to our Bankruptcy Code, to help small business keep their doors open and keep their employees on the payroll.
I look forward to a lively discussion with our distinguished panel of witnesses:
Ed Mendenhall owned a fitness center in Warren, RI from 1996 to 2009. In his testimony, Mr. Mendenhall will describe his efforts to save his business. Mr. Mendenhall is a graduate of the University of Rhode Island and has an extensive background in personal training and fitness.
Chuck Bullock practices bankruptcy law in Detroit, Michigan, an area with no shortage of bankruptcies in recent years. He has represented small business debtors, and secured and unsecured creditors. A graduate of the University of Michigan and the University of Memphis School of Law, Mr. Bullock teaches bankruptcy at Cooley Law School.
Tom Small served as U.S. Bankruptcy Judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina from 1982 to 2009. He also served as President of the National Conference of Bankruptcy Judges and as a Board Member of the American Bankruptcy Institute. He holds degrees from Duke University and Wake Forrest University School of Law. Judge Small continues to be an active member of the National Bankruptcy Conference and serves as Co-Chair of its small business working group. Judge Small helped Senator Grassley to draft the original Chapter 12 back in the 1980s.
Joseph Mason is the Hermann Moyse/Louisiana Bankers Association Chair of Banking at the Louisiana State University and Senior Fellow at the Wharton School. Dr. Mason's academic research focuses primarily on investigating liquidity in thinly-traded assets and illiquid market conditions. A graduate of Arizona State University, he has an M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois.
Thomas B. Bennett has been a United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Northern District of Alabama in Birmingham since 1995. For over fifteen years, he was a partner with the law firm of Bowles Rice McDavid Graff & Love PLLC and served as head of the firm's bankruptcy, creditors' rights and commercial litigation practice groups. Judge Bennett graduated from Girard College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1966 and received his undergraduate and graduate degrees in economics as well as his law degree from West Virginia University.

In case you didn't know, Superman's getting a big screen reboot this summer from Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan. While Superman is probably the most famous comic book character on the planet, a lot of people aren't as well versed in Superman as they are as Batman. You'd be surprised how many people think his only villain is Lex Luthor. If you want to go into Man of Steel with your friends and sound like someone who has actually read Superman in the past, here are five stories to read before the movie comes out in a few months. Most of these are available digitally, and all are still in print and pretty easy to find.
Superman: Birthright
Birthright is the origin story that Snyder and crew are rumored to have based Man of Steel on. Prior to DC releasing Superman: Secret Origin, this was the canonical origin for Superman that replaced John Byrne's Man of Steel. The series deals with Kal-El learning of his powers while in Africa, and did many other cool things such as bringing back the Silver Age city bottled of Kandor to the books. If you want what Man of Steel may be based on, this is the series you'll want to read.
Earth One
DC's new Earth One hardcover graphic novels for Superman and Batman exist outside the current continuity, but they are among the best stories ever told for the characters. J. Michael Straczynski is handling the Superman: Earth One graphic novels and part one and part two are already out. JMS retells Superman's origin as if Clark landed in Kansas in the 90s, so this is truly a modern retelling of the origin and it's amazing. He even works in "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" into volume two. The third volume will hopefully be out later in 2013 and looks to introduce the Luthors.
All Star Superman
For many people, including myself, Grant Morrison's superhero work is hit and miss. All Star Superman is definitely a hit. Morrison brings back many of the silly things we saw in the Silver Age, but done in a way that works today. His origin, told in just one page, is brilliant and the story has become one of the definitive Superman stories in the last few years. DC even adapted it into a DCU Animated film, which was pretty accurate to the book.
Last Son of Krypton
A few years ago, Geoff Johns teamed with Richard Donner for a short run of Action Comics. Last Son of Krypton brought back General Zod and his crew and then threw Braniac into the mix. If you ever wondered what Richard Donner's Superman III may have looked like, this run is probably as close as you're ever going to get. It's better than Superman Returns.
For Tomorrow
When Jim Lee first came to DC two of his first projects were runs on Batman and Superman. The Batman run, Hush, has become a classic and may just be the best thing Jeph Loeb has ever written. People don't talk about Jim Lee's run on Superman, written with Brian Azzarello and titled For Tomorrow, as much; but it's a great Superman story that examines what the fear of failure does to the Man of Steel.

By Alex Lippa
---- — PLAISTOW — Gladys Tozier had just one wish for what will likely be her last Christmas — to spend it with her daughter, Anna.
Her caretakers from Brookhaven Hospice made that a reality.
Anna, 64, has medical complications which make her unable to travel on her own. She lives at Oceanside Center Skilled Nursing in Hampton.
Her mother is in hospice at the Colonial Poplin Nursing Home in Fremont.
The likelihood of the two spending the holidays together was slim. But that was before holiday helpers stepped in to make Gladys's wish come true.
"We heard that they wanted to get together at Christmas," said Bob Hagopian, a chaplain at Brookhaven Hospice of New Hampshire. "This was a cooperative effort between the two nursing homes and Trinity EMS to make this special event happen."
Hagopian said it was even more special because it will likely be Gladys's last Christmas. The 92-year-old suffers from dementia and was admitted into hospice last year.
The trip was made possible by the Butterfly Foundation, a subsidiary of Brookhaven. The foundation offers patients services not covered by their benefits.
Trinity EMS brought Anna to Fremont on Dec. 28. The two longtime Plaistow residents spent an hour reminiscing and telling stories of Anna's childhood.
Nursing home employee Debbi Logan, who supervised the visit, said Gladys and Anna were thrilled to see each other. The meeting was held in the library because employees thought the room reflected Gladys' 18 years as a bookkeeper and her love of writing.
"They greeted each other with a hug and Gladys was surprised to see Anna there," Logan said.
Anna brought a scrapbook filled with Christmas memories. When Anna was growing up, Gladys sewed her a new dress each Christmas. Anna and Gladys enjoyed sewing and making crafts together, selling some in local stores.
The two also looked at pictures of Willard, Gladys's husband and Anna's father. He died in a plane crash when Anna was 5 years old.
The staff at Brookhaven said the Christmas meeting was all Gladys could talk about for days. Anna was overheard by Brookhaven staff saying it was their best Christmas ever.
"It was very sad when it was time to leave," Logan said. "Gladys just didn't want to say goodbye."
The staffs at Brookhaven and Colonial Poplin were touched as well.
"It just warms my heart to be able to have a good story with a happy ending," Hagopian said. "We were able to bring Anna and Gladys some joy, which is the greatest reward."

Potential Non-Import Starting Positions4 offensive linemen, 2 receivers, middle linebacker, and free safety
Key Canadian Arrivals FS Cauchy Muamba, OL Mark DeWit, and DT Ryan Lucas signed as free agents. P Brett Cameron was signed as an undrafted free agent after completing his final year at North Dakota.
Key Canadian Departures FS Ian Logan was released to make room for Cauchy Muamba. DE Fernand Kashama remains unsigned after heading to free agency.
In The PipelineWR/DB Johnny Aprile and potentially DT Christo Bilukidi
Draft NeedsDefensive line help is the most urgent need. Aprile could help add the necessary depth at either receiver or free safety with the team looking to address the other position via the draft.
2013 Draft Selections2nd, 11th, 20th, 29th, 46th, 54th
Early Round Picks (2008-2012)2008: OL Brendon LaBatte (6th), WR Aaron Hargreaves (15th)2009: None2010: SB Cory Watson (9th)2011: LB Henoc Muamba (1st), WR Jade Etienne (4th)2012: OL Tyson Pencer (3rd), WR Kito Poblah (1st Round in '11 Supplemental Draft)
Best Late Round Pick (2008-2012)Chris Greaves was a defensive lineman through his entire CIS career but the Bombers envisioned him on the other side of the ball when they grabbed him in the sixth round (45th overall) in 2010. After a two-year apprenticeship, he became a full-time starter on Winnipeg's O-Line last season.
Quirky Draft FactEighteen players originally drafted by Winnipeg between 2008 and 2012 are currently under contract to CFL teams. Nine of them were drafted in Rounds 1 through 3 and the other nine were drafted in Rounds 4 through 6. The good news is that the team's success rate in terms of drafting CFL players is as good in the back half of the draft as it is in the first half. The bad news is that the team's success rate in terms of drafting CFL players is as good in the back half of the draft as it is in the first half. In all seriousness, my analysis is that the Bombers traded away several high picks prior to 2010, thus creating a window spanning a few years before and after 2010 where there has been a greater opportunity for late rounders to make the team.

< Return To Hearing
Professor David HymanSeptember 6, 2006 Statement of David A. Hyman Professor of Law and Medicine University of Illinois Hearing on "Examining Competition in Group Health Care" U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary September 6, 2006 Thank you for inviting me to speak with you today. I am a professor of law and medicine and the Galowich-Huizenga Faculty Scholar at the University of Illinois, where I direct the Epstein Program in Health Law and Policy. I spent three years as Special Counsel at the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), where I coordinated and was principal author of the joint report issued by the FTC and Department of Justice on health care and competition law and policy.1 My academic interests focus on the financing and regulation of health care, and I have written numerous articles on these subjects - including several on the specific issues that you are considering today. The title of today's hearing - "Examining Competition in Group Health Care" actually encompasses a wide array of issues. These issues include: Given our time constraints, I will focus on a much narrower subject - whether there is evidence of market power in health insurance markets - and what, if anything, we should do about it. My remarks are informed by the several days of hearings we devoted to this subject when I was at the FTC, and the two chapters in the final report on health insurance and competition law.2 They are also informed by the academic literature that has appeared on the subject, and the multiple reports that the American Medical Association has issued decrying consolidation in the market for health insurance - most recently in April, 2006 (using 2005 data).3 I should note that my views on this specific subject are laid out in some detail in my 2004 Health Affairs article, titled Monopoly, Monopsony and Market Definition: An Antitrust Perspective on Market Concentration Among Health Insurers.4 The article was co-authored with Bill Kovacic - then General Counsel, and now a Commissioner on the Federal Trade Commission.5 1 Federal Trade Commission and Department of Justice, Improving Health Care: A Dose of Competition (2004). 2 Id. 3 American Medical Association, Competition in Health Insurance: A Comprehensive Study of U.S. Markets - 2005 Update (April, 2006), available at http://www.ama-assn.org/ama1/pub/upload/mm/368/compstudy_52006.pdf. 4 David A. Hyman & William Kovacic, Monopoly, Monopsony and Market Definition: An Antitrust Perspective on Market Concentration Among Health Insurers, 24 Health Affairs 25-29 (Nov./Dec. 2004). 5 Of course, in writing this article, Commissioner Kovacic was conveying his own views, and not those of the Commission, or of individual Commissioners. 2 Second is the simple fact that the complaints come from providers -- and not consumers. In health care, providers have long set the terms of trade, including generous compensation without regard to the quality or value of the services they provide. There has been a dramatic shift in bargaining power over the past several decades in many markets away from health care providers and toward purchasers. It is far from clear the rest of us should be much concerned with that trend - again, as long as the market for health insurance is reasonably competitive. The sellers of a service have a natural tendency to conflate what is good for them with what is good for society - but the interests of consumers are sufficiently at odds with those of providers that we should generally discount provider complaints about disparities in bargaining power - an insight that flows naturally from the maxim that the purpose of antitrust is to protection competition, not competitors.6 Let me now turn to the evidence offered by providers in support of their position. Essentially, they make two claims: there have been a host of mergers among insurance companies that have resulted in the emergence of insurers with a national presence; and there are high Herfindahl-Hirshman ("HHI") indices in individual states and metropolitan areas.7 I address each of these points in turn. Over the past several decades, health insurance markets have moved from markets overwhelmingly dominated by nonprofits (primarily Blue Cross) that operated only in single states to a market with several large national insurers that operate in multiple states, and nonprofits that continue to operate in single states. These national insurers cover millions of Americans in multiple states. Does the emergence of national insurers indicate that we have a problem in the market for health insurance? The short answer to that question is no. Understanding why requires a brief review of some basics of economics and antitrust law. Antitrust law focuses on the problem of market power. Market power is when sellers (or buyers) have the ability to profitably maintain prices above (or below) competitive levels for a significant period of time. When sellers exercise market power, it is called "monopoly." When buyers exercise market power, it is called "monopsony." Both monopoly and monopsony decrease consumer welfare. Health insurers are both buyers of medical services (from 6 Brown Shoe Co. v. United States, 370 U.S. 294, 320 (1962) ("Taken as a whole, the legislative history illuminates congressional concern with the protection of competition, not competitors, and its desire to restrain mergers only to the extent that such combinations may tend to lessen competition.") 7 See AMA, supra note 3, at 1. 3 With this background, it is easy to see why the raw number of Americans that are covered by a particular national insurer is effectively irrelevant to an inquiry into market power. The starting point for analysis should be the market share of these insurers in particular geographic markets - not the total number of Americans who receive health insurance from national insurers. What of the HHI indices, the second basis for the AMA's position? The HHI, which forms the analytical foundation for the FTC/DOJ merger guidelines, represents the sum of the squares of the market share of individual competitors in the market. In a market with a single seller, the HHI is 10,000. The FTC/DOJ merger guidelines provide that an HHI below 1000 corresponds to an "unconcentrated" market; an HHI between 1000 and 1800 corresponds to a "moderately concentrated" market, and a HHI above 1800 corresponds to a "highly concentrated" market. The HHI is used as a screening tool to assess whether a proposed merger is more or less likely to have anticompetitive consequences. The merger guidelines provide that different presumptions apply, depending on the extent of post-merger market concentration and the increase in HHI that will result from the merger. For example, a merger that results in an unconcentrated market "ordinarily require no further analysis" because it is unlikely to have adverse competitive effects, but where the post-merger HHI exceeds 1800, it is "presumed that mergers producing an increase in the HHI of more than 100 points are likely to create or enhance market power or facilitate its exercise."8 There is no question that the reports prepared by the AMA have gotten much more sophisticated and more comprehensive over time.9 Unfortunately, these reports fail to address the fundamental problems that have beset their analysis from the outset. The first problem is that high HHIs do not demonstrate that market power exists or is being exercised. HHIs are a screening tool. The purpose of the HHI is to raise or lower our index of suspicion about the likelihood of market power being created or exercised in the context of evaluating a proposed merger - not to establish that market power exists or will exist. Second, even if it could be shown that a health insurer actually has market power, the issue for antitrust purposes is whether the insurer has obtained or maintained that power through improper means. Absent such evidence, the sole fact that a market is concentrated is unlikely to attract the interest of an antitrust enforcer. With one exception, high levels of concentration have never been thought sufficient, taken by themselves, to merit an antitrust challenge. In the late 1970s, the FTC briefly flirted with using a "no-fault" theory of antitrust liability to de-concentrate various industries without proof of improper conduct. The FTC dropped this approach after developments in the case law and overwhelming criticism from antitrust experts led the FTC to conclude that 8 FTC/DOJ Merger Guidelines, 1.51 (1992), available at http://www.ftc.gov/bc/docs/horizmer.htm. 9 For example, the first study analyzed 40 metropolitan areas, while the latest study analyzes almost 300 metropolitan areas. AMA, supra note 3, at 1.no-fault cases would receive a hostile reception in the courts.10 No competition agency has sought to revive this strategy in the intervening twenty-odd years. Third, the HHI is used to calculate market concentration only after the scope of the product and geographic market is determined. The validity of the HHI as a screening tool depends entirely on proper definition of the relevant market. As Judge Richard Posner has observed, "the definition of the market in which to measure the market shares of the merging parties and their competitors is critical; given enough flexibility in market definition a surprising number of innocuous mergers can be made to appear dangerously monopolistic."11 Similarly, Robert Pitofsky, former Chairman of the FTC, has observed that "knowledgeable antitrust practitioners have long known that the most important single issue in most enforcement actions - because so much depends on it - is market definition."12 The market definition process was farcically described by Professor (and Nobel laureate) George Stigler: Consider the problem of defining a market within which the existence of competition or some form of monopoly is to be determined. The typical antitrust case is an almost impudent exercise in economic gerrymandering. The plaintiff sets the market, at a maximum, as one state in area and including only aperture-priority SLR cameras selling between $ 200 and $250. This might be called J-Shermanizing the market, after Senator John Sherman. The defendant will in turn insist that the market is worldwide, and includes not only all cameras, but also portrait artists and possibly transportation media because a visit is a substitute for a picture. This might also be called T-Shermanizing the market, this time after the Senator's brother, General William Tecumseh Sherman. Depending on who convinces the judge, the concentration ratios will be awesome or trivial, with a large influence on his verdict.13 At first glance, it might seem intuitively appealing to use states and metropolitan areas as geographic markets. An individual state is clearly a relevant parameter for regulatory purposes, and a considerable amount of data is available on a state-by-state basis. However, there is no evidence that individual states constitute relevant geographic markets for health insurance - and there is considerable evidence to the contrary. Indeed, the AMA's study of market concentration expressly cautions that "state-level data can be very misleading because in many states, health insurers do not compete on a statewide basis."14 It is much more plausible to evaluate markets at the metropolitan level, but once again one must demonstrate that a particular metropolitan area is a market, and not simply assume it. Bluntly stated, if an entire state or metropolitan area is not a relevant 10 Timothy J. Muris, Improving the Economic Foundations of Competition Policy, Jan. 15, 2003, available at http://www.ftc.gov/speeches/muris/improveconfoundatio.htm. 11 RICHARD A. POSNER, ANTITRUST LAW: AN ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE 125 (1976). 12 Robert Pitofsky, New Definitions of Relevant Market and the Assault on Antitrust, 90 COLUM. L. REV. 1805, 1807 (1990). 13 George J. Stigler, The Economists and the Problem of Monopoly, in THE ECONOMIST AS PREACHER AND OTHER ESSAYS 38, 51 (1982). 14 AMA, supra note 3, at 3. 5 It is common for providers to treat disparities in bargaining power as prima facie evidence of anticompetitive behavior. This is silly. Managed care plans and other health insurers can legitimately lower provider prices by increasing competition among providers or engaging in other activities that lower the costs of provider services. By engaging in hard bargaining, insurers lower the cost of coverage - which directly benefits consumers. Because one purpose of managed care is to lower prices closer to a competitive level, it can be extremely difficult to determine when a managed care purchaser is exercising monopsony power - necessitating a lengthy, fact-intensive investigation that is prone to error. The more general point, as Table 1 reflects, is that any system for deciding whether monopsony power is being exercised will generate four kinds of the results: true positives (cell 1), false positives (cell 2), false negatives (cell 3), and true negatives (cell 4). Table 1: A Typology of Monopsony Evaluation Did the Enforcer Determine There Was Monopsony? Was There Monopsony? Yes No Yes True Positive (1) False Negative (3) No False Positive (2) True Negative (4) True positives and true negatives occur, respectively, when an enforcer correctly determines that there was monopsony, or correctly determines that there was not monopsony. False positives and false negatives occur, again respectively, when an enforcer determines there was monopsony even though there wasn't, or determines there wasn't monopsony even though there was. True positives and true negatives are correct results. False positives and false negatives are mistakes. The goal for an antitrust enforcer is to maximize the number of cases in cells 1 and 4, and minimize the number of cases in cells 2 and 3, while simultaneously minimizing the costs associated with the system of antitrust enforcement. The more difficult it is to distinguish between true positives and true negatives (let alone false positives and false negatives), the more expensive and error-prone the system is likely to prove. The AMA is understandably interested in minimizing the number of false negatives - but doing so is likely to increase the number of false positives - and consumers will directly bear the costs of those erroneous decisions. Before starting down this path, we should ask ourselves whether the game is worth the candle - particularly when there is precedent (written by then-Judge and now Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer) indicating that Aa legitimate buyer is entitled to use its market power to keep prices down," as long as the prices are not below incremental cost or predatory.15 15 Kartell v. Blue Shield of Massachusetts, 749 F.2d 922, 927-931 (1st Cir. 1984). |

Overpopulation on Earth and severe economical issues led to a global crisis without precedents in the history of mankind. With the creation of harvester spaceships, exploration and exploitation of other worlds in deep space have permited our survival for decades since our planet started going downhill. During an exploration mission in which you were serving aboard the S.T.A.R 1088 as an additional security unit, something hits the rear engine rendering the whole spaceship completely inoperational and out of control, floating adrift in the unknown deep space. Stuck in the middle of our never ending unknown universe, it's time to send a signal in hopes help arrives.
Woah, this is almost if not just as good as good as Phobos, amazing!
Ok, so I took a hard choice: I'm no longer doing "MissionMod" but instead I'll start working on a completely new project "S.T.A.R 1088"

State education groups say Gov. Perry's remarks on the budget this week show he isn't making student learning a priority for Texas.
Monday, Perry asked lawmakers to sign his 'budget compact,' vowing not to raise taxes or dip into the Rainy Day Fund to balance the budget in the upcoming legislative session.
"Keeping taxes low is an essential part of what's made Texas the best place in the country to live, work and raise a family, and that's not going to change on my watch," the governor said.
Noel Candelaria is a teacher who now helps advocate for his counterparts statewide as Vice President of the Texas State Teachers Association.
His wife also teaches, and the couple will soon have kids in the school system.
"It sends a loud signal to our parents, to our teachers, to know that they don't have the support, and the funding is not going to be there to properly and adequately educate their students across our state," Candelaria said.
Candelaria says Perry's words sparked concern that the $5.4 billion cut from the state's public school system in the last session was just the beginning.
"It's starting to really affect what's going on in the classroom. You know, when you look at teacher morale being at an all time low," Candelaria said. "Teachers right now are having a hard time focusing on what is happening in the classroom because they're not sure if they're going to have a job next year."
Twenty-two employees with the Pflugerville Independent School District lost their jobs last year as a result of the cuts.
Superintendent Charles Dupre says the problem stretches far beyond the governor's promise not to raise taxes nor dip into the Rainy Day Fund to balance the budget.
"I see it as more of the same old, same old," Dupre said. "They're avoiding the issue. The governor's avoiding the real issue and that is there's a structural deficit in the state budget that they need to address."
Pflugerville ISD is among several plaintiffs across the state suing to make school finance more adequate and equitable.
In the meantime, groups are petitioning for the governor to call a special session to put $2.5 billion back into schools.

A rehabilitation hospital planned for west Omaha will cost about one-third more than initially projected.
Earlier this year, Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital of Lincoln announced that it would build a 120-bed, 200,000-square-foot rehabilitation hospital somewhere on the West Dodge corridor — a site since revealed to be a parcel at 175th Plaza and Burke Street.
The site is owned by a University of Nebraska Medical Center physicians' group.
Madonna originally pegged the project cost at $60 million. But now, factoring in architects, engineers, builders and other site work later in the planning process, the cost has grown to $93 million, said the hospital's chief financial officer, Victor Witkowicz.
The project will be financed with tax-exempt revenue bonds. Hospital lawyers will appear at today's Douglas County Board meeting for a public hearing on the bond offering.
The hospital, not county taxpayers, will back the debt. A public hearing is required because the official bond issuer is Douglas County Hospital District No. 2, which allows underwriters — Wells Fargo and Smith Hayes, in this case — to market the bonds as tax-free instruments.
Douglas County hospitals have used this financing option a half-dozen times in the past few years, said Jerry Prazan, finance administrator for the County Clerk's Office.
Witkowicz said Madonna's goal is to offset 20 percent of the debt — $18.6 million — with private donations.
The hospital is on track to open by late 2015, spokeswoman Molly Nance said.
