WASHINGTON – Wall Street investors hungry for advance information on upcoming federal health-care decisions repeatedly held private discussions with Obama administration officials, including a top White House adviser helping to implement the Affordable Care Act.
The private conversations show that the increasingly urgent race to acquire "political intelligence" goes beyond communications with congressional staffers that have become the focus of heightened scrutiny in recent weeks.
White House records show that Elizabeth Fowler, then a top health-policy adviser to President Barack Obama, met with executives from half a dozen investment firms in 2011 and 2012. Among them was Kris Jenner, a stock picker with T. Rowe Price Investment Services who managed its $6 billion Health Sciences Fund.
Separately, an official in the agency that oversees Medicare and Medicaid spoke in December with managers of hedge funds, pension plans and mutual funds in a conference call. The official, Andrew Shin, was pressed during the 50-minute call for information about upcoming Medicare decisions but declined to discuss matters still under agency review, according to people familiar with the call.
That call, like the White House meetings Fowler attended, were arranged by political-intelligence firms, an expanding class of consultants in Washington that specialize in providing government information to Wall Street.
Hedge fund executives and other investors are increasingly interested in the timing and nature of health-policy decisions in Washington because they directly affect the profits and stock prices of pharmaceutical, insurance, hospital and managed-care companies. Similar interest surrounds other industry sectors, such as defense, agriculture and energy, whose fortunes are especially dependent on government decisions.
There is no evidence that the private discussions with the two administration officials about health-care decisions provided investors with confidential agency information or that the investors made trades based on what they learned.
But this sort of intelligence gathering has been drawing attention from lawmakers and federal investigators who are looking at whether some traders are gaining access to information that is not available to investors in general or the wider public.
The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Justice Department are probing a spike in health-insurance stock trading this year that occurred after a Washington brokerage issued a bulletin predicting the outcome of a decision by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to increase funding for the Medicare Advantage program, which is administered by private insurers.
Fowler described her sessions with investors as innocuous, discussions of public information of the sort that would be supplied to any group that asked for it. "As a general principle, I met with anyone who requested a meeting," said Fowler, who went to work for the Washington office of pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson six months ago.
White House records show that Fowler met with hundreds of people during her two years as a health-policy adviser. A small number of those meetings were with investment professionals.
In August 2011, Fowler met with executives and analysts from several investment funds in a session attended by Kimberly Monk, a managing director of Capital Alpha Partners, a Washington group that markets its ability to provide "predictive insight for capital markets professionals." White House records list the names of several investment professionals in attendance, including individuals affiliated with Janus Capital Group, Highland Capital and the Capital Group.
In April 2012, Fowler met for breakfast at the White House with a former colleague from the Senate Finance Committee staff, Shawn Bishop, now a senior vice president at the Marwood Group, which provides health-policy information to Wall Street.
About four weeks later, Fowler met with T. Rowe Price's Jenner and two of his analysts in a meeting set up by a boutique Washington consulting firm, Capitol Street, that tracks health-care policy for major investors. After the meeting, the investors headed to Capitol Hill for talks with congressional health- and tax-policy staffers.
Asked about her meeting with the T. Rowe Price team, Fowler said, "The topics they raised were broad and general in nature, and the discussion never went beyond information that is otherwise publicly available."
The head of equity at T. Rowe Price, Bill Stromberg, said in a statement that his firm had not requested any private information and that none was provided.
"It's commonly understood and often communicated during discussions that no material, nonpublic information should be shared," he said, noting that his firm "prohibits trading on this type of information." Stromberg said that "the opinions of Washington officials can provide incremental input that helps our investment research process."
But Richard Painter, who served for two years as chief White House ethics officer in the George W. Bush administration, said he was convinced from experience that hedge-fund executives and other investors were seeking access to nonpublic information as a way to get an advantage over other investors. He recalled receiving "quite a few calls" from investment managers seeking access to staff but said he recommended against conducting the meetings.
"It is inappropriate for White House staff to meet with hedge funds and other investors about anything other than investment company regulation," said Painter, who teaches securities and ethics law at the University of Minnesota. "Why is White House time being wasted on these meetings when so many businesses want access to inform government policy but can't get inside?"
The same political-intelligence firm that set up the T. Rowe Price meeting at the White House, Capitol Street, also arranged the conference call that Shin held with institutional investors.
At the time of the call, Shin was the acting director of stakeholder engagement for the CMS Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. According the center's website, he was responsible for external communications with "patients, consumers, hospitals, clinicians, payers, states, employers, advocates, relevant federal agencies and others" seeking information about new practices involving Medicare payments.
Shin and people who listened to the call said he provided no insider information to the participants. But people familiar with the call said he was pressed to provide specific information about yet-to-be-announced Medicare payment plans, including how those plans would cover end-stage renal disease. Repeatedly, Shin declined to discuss specifics that he said were still under review.
Shin declined to discuss details of the call for this article. He has left government and now works for Potomac Research Group, a Washington-based firm that provides policy analysis to Wall Street investors and private equity firms.
In an email, Potomac Research said Shin discussed only publicly available information on the call, which he said was approved by his supervisor at CMS. "Andy says he recalls that he described what his job was and what his part of CMS did, reading, as always, from approved public talking points. And that was it," said the email from Erin O'Connor, a spokeswoman for Potomac Research.
At CMS, spokesman Brian Cook said the staff is well aware that it can offer only public information to investors, or anyone else. "CMS engages with a broad range of stakeholders and the general public on health-care improvement," Cook said. "These efforts focus on basic education and cover already public information."
This kind of private communication between public officials and private investors is facing renewed criticism on Capitol Hill.
"That kind of thing is exactly what we are trying to stop," Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., said when told about Shin's participation in the conference call with investors.
Slaughter, the ranking Democrat on the House Rules Committee, has proposed legislation with Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, that would require political-intelligence firms to disclose some of their activities. She says the rising profile of such firms gives a special advantage to big investors. "That is not what we are here for - to help a small elite group of people make money off their investments," she said.
Slaughter and Grassley have renewed their call for disclosure and regulation of the growing field of political intelligence after news reports revealed that federal investigators were examining an unusual increase in the trading of stock in Humana and other health-insurance firms in advance of the official Medicare announcement. That surge occurred April 1 after Washington-based Height Securities sent a bulletin to clients telling them about an upcoming Medicare payment decision that was favorable to the industry.
One spike occurred on March 18, the first day of trading after CMS made an internal decision to provide additional funds for Medicare Advantage insurance, which is run by private insurers such as Humana, UnitedHealth and Aetna. That morning, Capitol Street organized a conference call for its institutional investor clients with an adviser to Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who talked about the upcoming decision on funding for the Medicare Advantage program. Trading in a speculative class of Humana stock soared around the time of the conference call, according to a review of market activity by The Washington Post.
Grassley and Slaughter say they are concerned about federal officials meeting so freely and frequently with Wall Street investors and their representatives. Grassley is still pressing, for example, for answers about a 2010 case in which a CMS employee complained that he and others were asked by a political-intelligence firm for information about pending decisions. Grassley last week asked CMS officials about communications with several specific trading firms in advance of the recent Medicare Advantage decision. He also asked what procedures the agency has put in place to protect against the leak of confidential, market-moving information.
That is a familiar topic to former CMS director Thomas Scully, who served during the Bush administration and now works on health-care issues at Alston & Bird, a lobbying and law firm. He said he thought that it was useful for CMS officials to have more communication with Wall Street investors as a way for regulators to learn and "explain what an $800 billion-a-year agency" does with its money.
"But," he added, "it has to be done cautiously," because CMS information can have a powerful effect on the market. "You have to be very careful not to give anyone early or unique information. That is not easy."

On Monday, the Virginia Senate Courts of Justice Committee jumped on the distracted driving bandwagon after many false starts, and agreed that texting and e-mailing while driving should be a primary offense. The vote (S.B. 219) was ten to four.
The law right now in Virginia is that motorists can only be pulled over while texting and driving if they are caught committing some other primary offense. The texting fine is $20 for the first offense, and $50 for the second offense.
Under the proposed law, police would be allowed to pull over Virginia drivers suspected of texting or e-mailing without any other evidence of wrongdoing. This bill has already passed the Senate Transportation Committee, and it must now go to the full Senate.
Democratic Senator George Barker, who propounded the bill, has been waging this battle for two years. Opponents believe that existing reckless driving laws are sufficient. Senator Barker is also proposing S.B. 210, which does the same thing as S.B. 219, but for provisional (new) drivers.
Also currently prohibited in Virginia is the use of cell phones or texting by drivers under the age of 18, and school bus drivers.
Our Virginia Auto Accident lawyers have seen first-hand the pain and destruction caused by distracted driving, including texting and cell phone use. The public belief that this is dangerous is so strong that many clients come to us firmly believing that the other driver was on the cell phone or texting at the time of the collision. Whether they are right or not can usually be proven by cell phone records, which our firm seeks in discovery. But the fact remains that we all know it is dangerous. We all need to take the pledge to put the cell phone down before starting the engine. It doesn't matter if it is illegal. It only matters that it is unsafe.

Abstract: Cooper summarizes the discussions and presentations from the session entitled "Control of Splice Site Selection" held at the Sixth Annual Meeting of the RNA Society. Paradigms are shifting as experiments show that some of the proteins involved in regulating splicing can act as splicing enhancers or repressors, depending on the cellular context. The complex interactions among the ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) and proteins, and the role of cis elements, in controlling cell-specific splicing are highlighted. The importance of properly regulated splicing is emphasized by examples of disease pathologies in which alternative splicing is aberrant.

Hello I thought I'd share my story with you. I developed preeclampsia during my secondPosted On Thursday, June 20, 2002 by Neysa |
Hello! I thought I'd share my story with you. I developed preeclampsia during my second pregnancy. The first resulted in a miscarriage around week 7, although as the foetus died in the womb, I didn't realise I had miscarried until after two more weeks. This was autumn 1998. Afterwards, we decided to wait before trying again. The first pregnancy hadn't been planned and it was not a very suitable time. January 200o we decided to have another go, and after a month or two, I got pregnant. The pregnancy was not very pleasant from the start. I quickly developed nausea and was extremely tired most of the time. After about a month I had to get sick leave from work, and was only able to work 50% until around week 20 of the pregnancy. After that I slowly got better, and had about 1 1/2 month where I felt in good health. Then I started getting some unpleasant sensations. While walking home from work one day, I became extremely dizzy and weak. I barely managed to walk home in what more seemed like a crawl, and was very worried. But after a while I felt better, and as I was up for a medical in a couple of days, I decided to wait for that. I had already suspected for a while that I might be developing preeclampsia, as my blood pressure had been slightly higher than it should at my last medical, around 23-24 weeks. But I had no idea what I was up against - I merely thought I might have to take things easy during the last trimester of my pregnancy. At the medical, my doctor found a (still only) slightly increased blood pressure, and a reading of 1+ of protein in my urea. He also found that my uterus was smaller than he would have expected. He referred me to the hospital for a check-up on the following day, and I was left to go home and try not to worry. I was then in week 27-5. At the hospital, my blood pressure was 150/90 and the protein in my urea had soared to 3+. I was admitted at once, and not even allowed to go home and collect my things - my husband had to do that. From the first, we were given no hope of reaching term. The way my condition escalated, we were told that I might have to deliver within a day or two, but that with extreme luck, I might keep my baby in the womb for another two weeks. Longer than that was impossible. Still under shock, I was put in a ward with others that suffered preeclampsia or related conditions, or who had just given premature birth, and left to try to come to terms with what had happened. They took blood tests, started a 24-hour monitoring of my urea, and came in regularly to measure blood pressure. They did an ultrasound control of my womb and estimated that my baby was around 25% underweight. They also started regular monitoring of the baby's activity. I was given one hormone shot to help mature the baby's lungs shortly after arrival, and another the day after. Probably partly due to the hormone shots, my condition stabilised for a couple of days, with fairly but not extremely high blood pressure (mostly around 160/100) and no further increase of protein in the urea. We started to hope that the doctors had been wrong in their pessimistic prognosis, and I started to settle in at hospital. My biggest problem was getting enough sleep. I am a finicky sleeper at best - I have back problems and need complete quiet, which at a hospital is pretty impossible to get. After three or four days, I slept on a double hospital mattrass with a soft mattrass of my own on top, and felt pretty silly. But with all that, I at least managed to snatch 5 or 6 hours a night - a big improvement from the first couple of nights, where I hardly closed my eyes at all. Then, on the fifth day, my condition started to escalate again, and after another day, there was no choice left but to have the baby out. I had then reached week 28-5. To my extreme surprise, they decided against a Caesarian, and started to induce a vaginal delivery. Hormone pills were put up my vagina to mature it, and after 18 hours and with regular small contractions, the water was broken, and I started having contractions every two or three minutes. After about forty minutes, I was completely exhausted, and had to be put to bed, the contractions just flooding my body with no strength left to resist them or to even think about proper breathing. Of course, it was still so early in the pregnancy that I had had no chance to go to birth classes, so my knowledge about the right techniques was pretty limited anyway. I was scheduled for an epidural, but an emergency Caesarian ensured that I had to wait, and so I hardly remember the next couple of hours - I was semi-conscious from the extreme pain. After the epidural finally was given and (mercifully) worked very well, I was left to rest for another hour and a half to gain some strength, and then finally was put on a drip. 15 minutes later my baby girl was born, a tiny but perfect little creature that only weighed two pounds (909 grams, to be exact). That about concludes my birth story. I included a fair bit of detail, but you can of course shorten it if you want to use it on your pages. We were lucky - our daughter is now a perfectly healthy, albeit rather slim, 16-month-old. She loves to laugh and is just where she should be in terms of development compared to her "term peers". With regards, Irina |

But a strange thing happens in the new film adaptation written and directed by the "Motorcycle Diaries" team of Jose Rivera and Walter Salles, which IFC Films opened in theaters Friday. Though still secondary to the narrative, the women have gained in significance and impact in key ways that speak both to Salles' cinematic approach to storytelling and to the expectations of today's film audiences.
For just one example, Kristen Stewart, as the boys' teenaged fellow-traveler Marylou, gyrates madly at a beat soiree to the sound of "Salt Peanuts" in the new movie. Sporting saddle shoes and anklets, she sweats as her clothes begin to drape off against an equally entranced dancing boy. In those frantic moments, you could easily think: the film is about her.
Kerouac's book might have made the ultimate buddy movie, a mid-century hipster "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" featuring the cross-country antics of Kerouac's autobiographically influenced Sal Paradise and Dean Moriarty. When Brazilian filmmaker Walter Salles was tapped in 2004 to direct this elusive project after decades of misfires, you could feel the machine in motion: Salles did "Motorcycle Diaries," so it's a no-brainer — again, two guys take the open road!
Yet while Salles hews close to the episodic Kerouac novel, making a cohesive tableau of colorful set pieces, his Sal (Sam Riley) and Dean (Garrett Hedlund) are often overshadowed by the movie's women characters in modes of undress and sexual play. But while some critics may protest — hey, this is Kerouac, not Henry Miller! — Salles, noted for his copious research, did his due diligence. In preparation, the filmmakers made their own cross-country journey to interview surviving female Beats, among them Joyce Johnson, Hettie Jones, Carolyn Cassady and Diane DiPrima, which may explain why so much of the script is girl-oriented.
READ MORE: CANNES REVIEW: Why Walter Salles' 'On the Road' Adaptation Is Better Than You Think
No fewer than seven memoirs by women married to or connected with the central men informed Rivera's script. Banking on the marketability of Kerouac's name or with personal axes to grind, wives Edie Parker and Joan Haverty wrote books. At least one salacious study posits Kerouac as a cad, pushing the women into misguided behavior. The best and most evocative book, Johnson's "Minor Characters," set the high bar for a history of the women of the Beat era. Kerouac's girlfriend at the time "On the Road" was published in 1957 to become an overnight bestseller, Johnson is his most recent biographer as well, with "The Voice is All: The Lonely Victory of Jack Kerouac."
Not one to rely on Kerouac's singular take on events, Salles used these other truth-tellers to start the process of teasing out the author's fiction from fact. Digging deeper, he brought the key women to the set. At a luncheon in New York in 2010 for her film "All Good Things," Kirsten Dunst, who plays Camille in "On the Road," said she regretted leaving the production when her scenes were completed because Carolyn Cassady was coming to hang out with the actors. Dunst did not want to miss spending time with the Beat legend who authored "Off the Road" and "Heartbeat," which focuses on Carolyn's ménage a trois in San Francisco with her husband Neal and Jack. Yes, in the movie Camille plays the martyr, kicking Dean/Neal out in one breath and begging for his return in another. But Dunst said at the recent New York premiere for "On the Road" that she did not think this a period detail; women go through the same disappointments and dilemmas today.

Wonder why nobody wrote that Marylou is not free spirited woman,only sexual abuse teenager.It only shows hipocricy of many critics,especially those who claim that Bella from Twilight is a victim of predatory boyfriend,she sacrifices her personal life for controling,vampiric guy and she agrees to be in dangerous,toxic relationship.So Bella is stupid,right?And who is Marylou?
Amy | December 26, 2012 4:14 PM
Very interesting dissection of the female characters and how they were fleshed out in relation to their caricatures in On the Road and their real-life counterparts. Also, I like how you juxtaposed Jack's dismissal of the women in his life,his search for the traditional home life, and his eventual return to everything he seemed to be running away from.

Nokia Android phone specs point to low-end device
Nokia likely will aim its much-rumored Android phone at budget-conscious consumers, at least based on its reported specs.
In a tweet posted Tuesday, leaker @evleaks revealed the alleged, major features for the Nokia X, which goes by the codename Normandy. Assuming the information is accurate, and @evleaks usually is reliable, the phone will offer a dual-core 1GHz Snapdragon processor, a 4-inch WVGA screen, 512MB of memory, 4GB of storage, and a microSD card slot.

Williamson County, Illinois commissioners consider zoning lawsWILLIAMSON COUNTY, Ill. - A lot of people living outside city limits in Williamson County are complaining that the view from their home is anything but pleasing to the eye. There have been no zoning laws in place in the county since the 1980's. That means people can legally leave their trash on the side of the road, refuse to clean or fix dilapidated homes, and even build structures without paying taxes on them. Williamson County Commissioners say that something needs to be done. Business in the county may have its perks if you are a bartender, because, when the bars shut down inside city limits, the party continues just a few miles down the road. "The extra hour does really help because of the overflow. We tend to make a lot more money in that last hour that we're open," said bartender Heather Midgett. But homeowners often have to deal with some unpleasant views. For example, an abandoned arena off Route 166. It was damaged in a tornado a few years back and it sits untouched to this day. "Debris like this is subject to all the high winds, with the storms that come through. Material just blows every which direction," said Williamson County Commissioner Jim Marlo. Marlo does not think it is fair. "We've got people in the neighborhood here who take a lot of pride in protecting their property and maintaining their yards," said Marlo. But their views are compromised, and there are simply no laws to remedy the mess. The abandoned arena is not the only eye sore in the county. Phone calls and emails flood Marlo's office. "I've gotten a couple calls of homes that have burned and have been left dormant for months if not years," said Marlo. Marlo says the goal is to protect everyone's property and maintain its value. He says everyone, city and county residents, should have to abide by the same laws. The County Commissioners are working together to create a set of zoning laws that will make everyone happy. Marlo says he wants you to contact his office and give your input, because in the end, the zoning decision will come to a public vote. |

Jean Zimmerman's new novel, Savage Girl, is the ideal historical fiction narrative: The history is accurate, and the story nicely fits into the facts.
The novel opens with Hugo Delegate, son of an outrageously wealthy captain of industry, found next to the mutilated body of one of his friends. Because he can't, or perhaps, will not, explain why he was found at such a gruesome scene, he is taken into custody and asked to tell his side of the story.
BookPage Fiction Top Pick, March 2014
Alice Hoffman's latest novel has the word "extraordinary" in the title for good reason: The best-selling author of The Dovekeepers has served up another historical novel that will dazzle readers until the last page.
The term "Middle Ages" contains a prejudice: that the era was merely an unremarkable void straddling antiquity and modernity. Recent scholarship has eroded this perception. The era produced Dante, Chaucer and Boccaccio as well as significant leaps in mathematics and even algorithms and cryptography. It was, moreover, a time when the lust for life was great and the powerful had lust aplenty. Bruce Holsinger's captivating historical novel A Burnable Book is testimony to this more accurate view of a fascinating period.
As World War II is to the United States, a conflict endlessly memorialized, representing the nation's crowning achievement before its inevitable decline, so World War I is to Great Britain. Little surprise, then, that on the latter war's centennial, another novel that centers on it should appear: Wake, by British author Anna Hope. As the homonym title suggests, however, Wake is less about the war than its aftermath. It's also less about men than women.
In 1894, Paris was rocked by the infamous Dreyfus affair, which reverberated in France for decades after Captain Alfred Dreyfus was convicted of treason in "a monstrous miscarriage of justice." Robert Harris' new novel, An Officer and a Spy, builds on the riveting trial and its aftermath, perfectly demonstrating its anti-Semitic core and the sense of justice gone awry in a rigid military hierarchy.
At the start of The Swan Gondola, Timothy Schaffert's enchanting new historical novel, two elderly spinster sisters discover a man in their front yard who has fallen from the sky (or from a hot air balloon, at least). The man in question is Ferret Skerritt, a ventriloquist turned star-crossed lover with an incredible tale to tell.
In her second novel, author Deborah Johnson takes readers on an intoxicating, ominous and redemptive journey into a special world. At its heart, The Secret of Magic is the story of three people seeking justice, but it also explores how a foreign place can worm into a person's soul.
Leila Meacham's new novel, Somerset, begins in 1835 South Carolina with the stories of three of the state's most prominent, plantation-owning families: the Warwicks, DuMonts and Tolivers. Silas Toliver has been left out of his father's will. With his father dead and all of his family's land and money bequeathed to his brother, Silas has two choices: Stay in South Carolina, where he will live the rest of his life without ever owning the expansive plantation he aches for, or follow his best friend and counterpart Jeremy Warwick to Texas, where fear of the unknown meets promises of fertile land and opportunity.
Losing a loved one to the chaos of war would be devastating enough, but lingering doubt as to whether a husband were alive or dead could slowly consume a wife. Especially if her last words to him were an ultimatum: Choose his reporting work, or her. In The Wind Is Not a River, Helen and John Easley find themselves caught in the upheaval of World War II, separated emotionally and physically by...
Sometimes life presents you with a slate of bad choices—though some are braver than others. In Motherland, Maria Hummel, author of several novels and a former Stegner Fellow in poetry, enters relatively unfamiliar literary territory to tell the story of one so-called Mitläufer family: German citizens who would never have personally countenanced the terrible abuses that Jews suffered,...

Art says:
Me too, I finished my part on the next comic last night. Fortunately this reluctant hiatus has not dulled my skills any and what I drew looks friggin' awesome.
Marbles says:
OH MY GOD YES AN UPDATE, PLEASE TELL ME REGULAR UPDATE SCHEDULE WILL RESUME, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! This place has been updating less than VGCATS, freaking VGCATS man! And they almost never update!
Art says:
I have given Joe the next comic's files. If you wanna make him feel appreciated and that more comics in the future would be more appreciated feel free to let him know. His twitter handle is @joehills.
Marbles says:
I don't use twitter, can't, it's blocked from my internets. But if you could let him know how excited we are, that would be great.
Someone else says:
Why hasnt this been updated since May? Its July already!
Tom says:
Still hoping for an update one of these days.
*Watches tumbleweed blow by*
mrtt says:
Will saying "Magic why do they call you magic" to marbles result in the return of magic to the world?
NCD1998 says:
Or would it cause him to explode, Mrtt?

cwDeici says:
This is what happens when people take a break to make a game rather than focusing on the primary when there's already time issues. Understandable, but classic mistake.
Oh well, hopefully it'll be back someday, and thanks for all the comics!
cwDeici says:
And thanks to Art, we know you did your best.
Too bad most of us don't have Twitter, though you'd think Joe would be able to see the demand by 14 comments the last time Art told us to let him know.
It's sad, this was almost complete. I loved Industrial Revolution (read it 3.5 times) and Jack of all Blades 1 (1.75 times) and this story (1.25 times), and also the The Day it Snowed (0.75).
Anyway it's a great Universe, thanks to everyone, creators and readers alike. :)
cwDeici says:
Also, I'm really glad Pitfalls & Penguins worked out for you, I might try it some day if others agree to try it as a system, it looks fun. :)
Rizban says:
I've been following your comics since before you started the Jack storyline, and I still check the sites almost daily. I loved playing a game of P&P when I convinced my group to try it. It makes me sad that this comic has basically just stopped. I still check the site daily hoping for an update, often enough Google Chrome keeps it in my top 8 sites.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Two teens were killed and another was injured early Sunday in a head-on collision near Marmet.
Both drivers, Mason Roush and Cody Perdue, were pronounced dead at the scene. Roush was a recent Riverside High School graduate. Perdue was a student there.
Kirsten Young, another Riverside student who was a passenger in Perdue's vehicle, was taken to a hospital. Young's status could not be confirmed Sunday afternoon, though a school official said she was expected to recover.
The two pickup trucks collided at about 1 a.m. as one attempted to pass another vehicle on W.Va. 61 near Turnpike Ford.
Memorials and vigils were being planned as the Riverside community mourned the losses.
Valery Harper, Riverside High School principal, said she knew something wasn't right when she turned on her phone Sunday morning. After finding out what happened, Harper reached out to the students' family members to see what the school could do.
Community members plan to gather at the Marmet Ballfield at 8 tonight for a vigil. The school plans to hold another vigil at 6:45 p.m. Monday.
Harper said Perdue would be remembered for his sense of humor and Roush for his love for the outdoors.
"Cody was always just a funny kid. He was someone a lot of people wanted to be around. He was good-natured," she said, later adding, "(Roush) was a big fisherman. He loved to be in the outdoors. He was just a good kid."
Young, Harper said, is a good-natured person. She said she hopes Young can find comfort in this difficult time.
"I remember seeing pictures of the two of them -- Kirsten and Perdue. They were a sweet couple," she said. "We are concerned for her as well over her injuries.
"Her injuries are going to heal but there's the pain of losing her boyfriend."
For now, Harper said the community and school must come together to get through the tragedy.
"Any time when a parent loses a child or a child loses a friend, it's a time where we have many questions that are hard to find the answers to," she said, later adding, "I would want to tell our current students that we love them and we're there for them."
The Riverside community has experienced plenty of tragedy over the past five months.
Patrick Petry, 16, died in a May all-terrain vehicle crash. Two months later, Colin Qualls, also 16, died in a car crash on Hughes Creek Road, according to Charleston Daily Mail archives. Four other teenagers were hospitalized with minor injuries in that crash.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Michael Bourn has moved front and centre for the Cleveland Indians.
Bourn, an All-Star centre fielder last season with Atlanta, signed his four-year, $48 million contract Friday with the Indians, who have returned to relevancy by giving $117 million in guaranteed money to free agents. The 30-year-old will bat leadoff and play centre for new Indians manager Terry Francona, who met with Bourn before the Indians had their first full-squad workout.
Bourn will wear No. 24 for the Indians, who finished 68-94 in 2012. He batted .274 last season with nine homers and 57 RBIs. Since 2008, Bourn has led the majors with 257 steals -- 177 more than any Cleveland player over the same span.
Bourn will make $7 million this season, $13.5 million in 2014 and 2015 and $14 million in 2016. The Indians have a $12 million option for 2017 that's guaranteed if he reaches 550 plate appearances in 2016.

Meningitis usually results from a viral infection, but the cause may also be a bacterial infection. Less commonly, a fungal infection may cause meningitis. Because bacterial infections are the most serious and can be life-threatening, identifying the source of the infection is an important part of developing a treatment plan.
Acute bacterial meningitis usually occurs when bacteria enter the bloodstream and migrate to the brain and spinal cord. But it can also occur when bacteria directly invade the meninges, as a result of an ear or sinus infection, or a skull fracture, or rarely, after some surgeries.
A number of strains of bacteria can cause acute bacterial meningitis. The most common include:
Each year, viruses cause a greater number of cases of meningitis than do bacteria. Viral meningitis is usually mild and often clears on its own. A group of viruses known as enteroviruses is responsible for most viral meningitis cases in the United States. These viruses tend to circulate in late summer and early fall. Viruses such as herpes simplex virus, HIV, mumps, West Nile virus and others also can cause viral meningitis.
Chronic forms of meningitis occur when slow-growing organisms invade the membranes and fluid surrounding your brain. Although acute meningitis strikes suddenly, chronic meningitis develops over two weeks or more. Nevertheless, the signs and symptoms of chronic meningitis — headaches, fever, vomiting and mental cloudiness — are similar to those of acute meningitis.
Fungal meningitis is relatively uncommon and causes chronic meningitis. Occasionally it can mimic acute bacterial meningitis. However, this form of meningitis isn't contagious from person to person. Cryptococcal meningitis is a common fungal form of the disease that affects people with immune deficiencies, such as AIDS. It's life-threatening if not treated with an antifungal medication.
In 2012, fungal meningitis made the news because contaminated corticosteroid injections caused a multistate outbreak. Fungal meningitis cases were associated with contaminated medication injected into the spine for back or neck pain.
Meningitis can also result from noninfectious causes, such as chemical reactions, drug allergies, some types of cancer and inflammatory diseases such as sarcoidosis.

Jimmie Rodgers, born in 1897 in Mississippi, was a country singer who became famous for his style of yodeling. Throughout his career, he performed several hit singles, including "Sleep, Baby, Sleep" and "Blue Yodel (T is for Texas)." He later recorded with the legendary jazz musician Louis Armstrong. He was one of the first country superstars, and is remembered as the Father of Country Music.
Early Life
Singer, guitarist and Father of Country Music Jimmie Rodgers was born James Charles Rodgers on September 8, 1897, in Meridian, Mississippi. He was the youngest of three children born to Eliza and Aaron Rodgers. By the time Jimmie Rodgers was born, his mother was already suffering from a serious case of tuberculosis, and she passed away when he was only a child.
Rodgers' father worked as a maintenance foreman on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad; due to the constant travel required by his work, he was in no position to raise three young children on his own. So Jimmie Rodgers spent his formative years shuffling amongst various relatives' homes in southeastern Mississippi and southwestern Alabama. Although he was never quite the "poor orphan child" he later depicted in his songs, Rodgers' did endure an unprivileged and itinerant childhood, something that would shape his consciousness and his music for the rest of his life.
A born entertainer, Rodgers taught himself to play the guitar and—like so many great Southern singers of his and subsequent generations—learned to sing in church. After winning an amateur talent show at the age of 13, Rodgers ran away from home to try his hand at making a living with a traveling road show, using sheets he had snatched off his sister-in-law's bed as a makeshift tent. Although his father quickly tracked him down and dragged him back home, Rodgers made enough money from his shows to buy his sister-in-law a new pair of sheets.
A year later, a 14-year-old Rodgers got his first job, as a water boy for his father's railroad crew. Rodgers spent the next dozen years toiling away on the railroads, working his way up from callboy to flagman to baggage master to brakeman, all the while singing and strumming his guitar in the evenings.
Aspiring Musician
In 1924, Rodgers contracted tuberculosis, the disease that had taken his mother's life, and could no longer labor long days out on the railroad. Making the best of his illness, Rodgers turned his focus to music, spending the next three years playing with amateur bar bands, earning just enough money from his music to make ends meet. In 1927, he teamed up with a string band called the Tenneva Ramblers, landing a regular but unpaid spot on a local radio station in Asheville, North Carolina. When the radio station folded, the band managed to find a new gig performing at a Blue Ridge Mountains resort.
Rodgers then got his big break when he learned that Ralph Peer, a talent scout for the Victor Talking Machine Company, was holding auditions in Bristol, Tennessee.

Country Legends
When it comes to singing about struggle and emotion, there are few genres that match the intensity of country music. Country music was born from musicians that were brave enough to wear their hearts on their sleeves from happiness to heartache. Because of country icons like Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Jimmie Rodgers, this southern, soulful genre has grown to become loved by many. Browse through the legends that established country music as the popular genre that it is today.

Country Music Pioneers
A uniquely American genre, country music got its start in the South in the early 19th century, when immigrants blended their Old World sounds with African-American musical styles. But it was the lives of the musicians, as told in their songs, that turned country into one of the best-loved musical styles in the United States. Listeners could relate to Jimmie Rodgers' stories of the railroad in "The Brakeman's Blues"; Hank Williams' struggle with depression in tunes such as "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"; and the promise of finding someone to rely on in George Jones' "Walk Through This World With Me." And its the universal struggles of love, loss, joy and longing found in each country song that keeps this music—and its performers—relevant throughout time.

A long and strong Canon original.
This long, Tele stabilized zoom replaces Canon's popular 75-300mm f/4-5.6 full-frame IS lens, the industry's first IS/VR lens, introduced in 1995. The new model delivers better image stabilization (to three stops instead of two) and a wider zoom range. It also features a zoom lock (at 70mm), special lens coatings to suppress ghosting and flare off digital sensors, and a panning mode for the IS system.
HANDS ON: This is one big lens, although it's about average in size and weight for its class. The barrel's surface is a stippled matte black, with an ample, ribbed, rubberized focusing ring and a pleasingly wide, easy-turning zoom collar, also ribbed and rubber-clad. The focusing ring (no subject distance scales) turns with a scratchy sound and is somewhat underdamped, but not loose. The zoom ring is also underdamped, tending to return to the 70mm setting whenever the lens tips up.
IN THE LAB: SQF data at 70mm and 200mm were in the Excellent range, indicating superior sharpness and contrast performance at the wider end of the zoom range. The lens dipped into the Very Good range at 300mm, which is normal for tele zooms of this class. DxO Analyzer 2.0 tests revealed Visible barrel distortion at 70mm (0.62%) and Visible pincushioning at 200mm and 300mm (0.63% and 0.72%, respectively). That's a strong showing, especially at the wide end.
Light falloff in test target corners was eliminated by stopping down to f/8 at 70mm and f/11 at 200 and 300mm, a slightly below-average performance. Close-focusing distances range between 55 and 57 inches, depending on focal length. Maximum magnification ratios went from 1:16.3 at 70mm to 1:4.1 at 300mm in our tests, suggesting average magnifying power -- not quite up to the standard set by the lens it replaces. DxO Analyzer "Blur Factor" tests of the image stabilization were performed by three separate users, shooting at shutter speeds from 1/50 to 1/400 sec at 300mm. These showed gains ranging from slightly less than two to slightly more than three stops of handholdable shutter speeds.
CONCLUSION: Sure, this sharp-shooting 70-300mm (a 112-480mm equivalent on a Canon EOS Digital Rebel) is neither light nor compact. But your tripod probably isn't light or compact, either -- and you can often leave it at home when you're shooting image stabilized.

Re: Underwater Kite
The old Skynasaur stunt kites could actually be flown from air, into the water, under water for a ways and then back out into the air again. They had a very heavy resin-coated sail. I know it works, because I've tried it. (I actually still have 4 Skynasaurs of various sizes.)

Greetings -
Thanks for the bringing back some memories.
When I managed kite stores for Catch The Wind some time last century, one of the selling points for the Hawaiian was that it was strong enough to be flown under water, information generally shared when the customer would ask if the kite could handle strong winds.

About "Ashley"
Well when I got this truck I had to tow it home. So My grandparents came down so I could tow it home since I didn't have something to tow it. Anyways on the way home we had an viaduct to go over. Well the climb wasn't too bad but on the way down I could hear the chain coming loose. Well right when we got to the bottom the chain came off and well I had to get the truck off the road so I coasted it around the corner and parked it. It took them awhile before they noticed that I was not behind them. I waited for about 5 minutes maybe and they came back around the corner and I just waved and laughed. I plan to keep this truck as factory as possible. Meaning keeping it looking stock but will be far from stock.

Hang tight!
Recipe by jaclyncady
"Super quick and easy - you will probably have all the ingredients in your pantry already! Serve with your favorite sauce! I served mine with spicy mayo, made by mixing 3 tablespoons mayo with 1/2 tablespoon sriracha. It would also be great with tzatziki or spicy mustard."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (16 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
1/4 cup panko bread crumbs, or as needed
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup olive oil
1 egg
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 cup olive oil for frying, or as needed
These were different from any falafel that I have ever had, and I LOVED them! The curry powder gave these wonderful flavor. The insides were a beautiful bright yellow...so pretty. Almost too pretty to eat. Almost. Loved the crunch of the panko. These could've used a bit more salt, IMO, but that would be my only change next time. Served w/ 'Roasted Garlic Tzatziki', also from this site~YUM! Will be making these again! Thanks for sharing. :)
The curry gave it great taste but 1/4 cup olive oil made it really runny. I had to keep adding more and more bread crumbs so that my patties would stay together. The recipe also did not call for any salt. I added one teaspoon to mine.I will make this again but with those changes.
19 Ratings
These little patties are amazing! I did need to blend in more panko to help them hold their shape, but otherwise made exactly as written. Hubby was very pleasantly surprised by this one, as was I. I didn't even serve it with a sauce- the curry lends such a lovely flavor! I simply served it with some roasted vegetables, and it was a wonderful vegetarian meal. Thank you for sharing- it's a keeper for sure!
My husband and I really liked these. We had tried a recipe from a newspaper that used black beans. Black beans are not the way to go. We thought these were the most like some we had had at a 'hole in the wall' so were quite pleased with this recipe. Another thing we like with falafel is a spicy mayo dip we found with the first recipe: 1cup mayo, 1 Tablespoon minced garlic, 1 Tablespoon of Sriracha hot chili sauce.
Sketchy! Good flavor but way too wet. They totally fell apart in the pan and made a big 'ol mess. We even halved the olive oil and doubled the bread crumbs. This recipe needs a re-work
This was my first time making falafal and oh man, where have you been all my life!! Super easy, super filling. This one is a keeper. As one reviewer stated though, the olive oil was a bit much. I had to keep adding panko. I didn't have time to chill it either, so they were pretty crumbly. Next time I will decrease the olive oil and chill. Because there definitely will be a next time.
Wonderful flavor. Terrible cooking instructions. I make patties from canned salmon all the time and so I was confident going into this recipe, but if I try this again, Im going to add only egg whites and perhaps no olive oil in the mix, just to fry. They didn't hold together and created breadcrumb slush in my pan.
I made this as i did have all ingredients on hand. I was not happy with it ,,not enough spice for me and mine fell apart. I added more breadcrumbs as I had a 19 ounce can, maybe that is what made them fall apart.

Board of Directors Meeting, October 1, 1953 3Dr. Manning--This thing is not quite as simple as you think. My suggestion is simply this--if somebody can come up here with a sensible program and say to Dr. Palmer "You take October" he will scream his head off; then you call Dr. Rupp and say "you take October and Dr. Wright November" and down the line for five months. I do not think it is fair to take October for Dr. Palmer, because he has had to cover during August and September. The time is coming when we will have to apply pressure, but I have never seen Dr. Palmer turn down a call on an emergency.Dr. Harry Thompson--Are we talking about the same thing? Each one's obligation to the County Hospital is just the same. Let us suggest rotation and call attention to the fact that they are obligated under their pledge to serve; let the Governing Board set up a schedule and notify all these men of their action.Dr. Beaton--They are obligated as individuals and not as members of some anesthesia trust.Dr. Kent--What right has Dr. Wright to stand up against the Society?Dr. Manning--Because he works for Dr. Rupp. What do you think, Dr. Bean? I do not believe you ever get Dr. Rupp to go down there except under great duress.Dr. Harry Thompson--They may respond to such a letter very nicely and we can always go farther.Dr. Manning--What will we do while waiting for response?Dr. Engle--I do not think either Dr. Rupp or Dr. Palmer will make up a schedule they can agree upon.Dr. Manning--But what happens in October with your anesthesia department?Dr. Thompson--They serve a month and they should be covered. If we have the same problem two months from now, I suggest we put it in the hands of the Board of Censors.Dr. Bean--the night calls have been covered by a nurse anesthetist paid by the County, and he now has withdrawn that.Dr. Kent--If you ever got a letter from the Society saying that you did not cover you surgical service, you would do something about it.Dr. Manning--Dr. Rupp was supposed to cover, August, September and October, and he has not done it. This thing is important to Dr. Bean and to the hospital. Let one patient die because you have a nurse anesthetist when you could not get a physician, and the resultant publicity would be devastating.Dr. Kent--It is our job to set it up and to have one man say he will not do it is ridiculous.Dr. Engle--I still object to your indicating that the whole fault is Dr. Rupp's. It is just as bi-lateral as it can be. I am the one who made the motion that the problem be brought up here at this meeting.Dr. Manning--This letter implies it is Dr. Rupp's fault.Dr. Engle--Let us divide the responsibility.Dr. Beaton--I move that a letter be written from this Board to each of the five anesthesiologists in town, calling their attention to the fact that subsequent to receipt of a letter from the Governing Board of the Pima Count Hospital the Board of Directors of this Society has discussed the difficulties about scheduling of anesthesia responsibility at the County Hospital; and to the fact that membership in the County Medical Society implies responsibility towards the Pima County Hospital and its services; that in order to solve the difficulties we are suggesting that each anesthesiologist be assigned one month of anesthesia responsibility and are asking the Governing Board of the Pima County General Hospital so to handle the matter; and that there is no question of favoritism and no intent to imply fault one way or the other, but only to correct the situation.Dr. Bean--How might that effect the nurse anesthetist?Dr. Beaton included in his motion the status quo of the nurse anesthetist.Motion seconded by Dr. Leo J. Kent.
