Vaishnavi Sornarajah
M.Sc. Molecular Medicine (2011-12)
Graduate Medicine student, King's College London
"My Molecular Medicine Masters at UCL was a hugely valuable experience which taught me the basics of molecular biology in many fields, from immunology to developmental biology. Lectures were given by wold-class researchers from the Institute of Child Health at Great Ormond Street Hospital. These were interesting and gave a great introduction to the ground-breaking research conducted by UCL. I had a great time meeting my course mates and UCL in general has a friendly atmosphere where anyone from anywhere in the world is welcome. My time at UCL has helped me gain a place at King's College London to study Graduate Medicine."
Maria Glymenaki
M.Sc. Molecular Medicine (2011-12)
MRC PhD scholarship student
"My year at UCL in the MSc program 'Molecular Medicine'' was the best time of my studies till far. It was a tiring time with a lot of workload, but at the same time it was very enjoyable. The level of the courses and the approach of the lecturers were really high, meeting the standards of the current constantly progressing world of science. The specialized modules 'Molecular and Immunological basis of disease' as well as 'Molecular Oncology' were particularly interesting and as I am particularly keen on Immunology, I found them the best part of our taught courses. My lab project was an unforgettable experience, not only because of the research but also because of my supervisors. The environment was friendly and stimulating, making me to constantly face my data from a critical point of view. I wish we could have a longer period in the lab during our studies. Of course, coming from a totally different background it was challenging for me in the beginning to understand the structure of projects. However, in time I improved, surpassing my initial weak points and thus meeting my expectations. Now the course is over, I am continuing my studies as a PhD student in UK. Overall, my attendance in 'Molecular Medicine' provided me with expertise, high quality knowledge and contributed to my evolution as a researcher. My studies in UCL in combination with the vibrant city of London were undoubtedly a lifetime experience."
Juan Miguel Sánchez
M.Sc. Molecular Medicine (2010-11)
PhD Student, Imperial College London
"Challenging, exciting and enjoyable would describe quite well what this master meant to me.
You have to work and study quite hard in order to succeed to be honest. However, this MSc in Molecular Medicine is not only a challenge because of this particular reason. Its structure allows you to little by little go through some general lectures that will give you a general picture in the area of molecular medicine (molecular biology, immunology, cancer biology…). With this knowledge you will be able to move into 2 more specific areas of your choice while you learn how to abstract the main ideas from scientific journals and develop your writing skills with the library based research project. Lecturers are experts on their fields; take advantage of that to learn from them.
On the last part of the course you will enjoy a research project based on a lab of your choice. In my opinion this is the best bit of the MSc. You will be able to put in practice not only what you have learnt before but also to develop your own ideas as well as design and carry out your experiments, attend to seminars, expand your contacts… doing real science!
Overall, the MSc in Molecular Medicine is a very useful course to develop a scientific mind as well as the perfect combination for a science-based degree. Furthermore, it will also give you much more possibilities to get a PhD.
Besides the course itself, London
is a very enjoyable city. There are plenty of activities to do. You will
probably meet people from all over the world at UCL and friends with whom you
will discover all the small beautiful places hidden around the city and share
great moments."
Ayona Dey
M.Sc. Molecular Medicine (2009-10)
Research Assistant,The Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research, UCL
"The taught masters course in Molecular Medicine at UCL provides an ideal environment for promoting intellectual development and thinking critically on various important and latest scientific studies.
The course is well designed to recapitulate and intensify previous knowledge during the core module, which helps to bring individuals with exposure to different areas of Biology on the same page. This is followed by the specialized module that gives an option to choose from specific branches like Oncology, Virology, Immunology etc. particular fields of interest.
The challenging and exciting exercises throughout the programme encourage students to read, understand and analyze various primary research papers and also learn and improve upon some vital techniques and strategies required for an effective scientific discussion/presentation.
The aspect of the Laboratory-based research project, in my opinion is the most attractive part of the programme which enabled us to get hands on experience in bench work in world class scientific research laboratories, of our choice. The opportunity to be a part of an active research lab and witness the gradual development of larger experimental setups which eventually translates into the results that we read and learn about in the books and published science papers is indeed very exciting.
I am currently working as a Research Assistant in a Cancer Research laboratory at the Wolfson Institute of Biomedical Research, to get some work experience before I move on to do my PhD. Needless to say the M.Sc. degree in Molecular Medicine from UCL has been extremely beneficial in my scientific endeavours so far.
Besides being an academic powerhouse, UCL is truly a 'Global University' because through the Masters programme I got the chance to meet an eclectic mix of people and become aware of different cultures and traditions. Now I can proudly claim to have some good friends in different corners of the world!
All in all, M.Sc. in Molecular Medicine has been an absolutely rewarding experience and I can confidently say that it has equipped me with the necessary knowledge and understanding required to further my career goal in scientific research."
Hemant Sahni
MSc Molecular
Medicine (2008-09)
PhD Student, Institute of Child Health
"If I have to describe my experience as an MSc Molecular Medicine student in a single word, I would say it has been 'exciting'. The teaching and research community here at the School of Life and Medical Sciences is extremely huge, diverse, open-minded, and focused. After my Bachelors in Biochemistry, I was looking for a programme that would help me develop an understanding of cellular and molecular immunological basis of diseases and equip me to pursue a research career in biomedical sciences. I found this course meeting my needs perfectly as it provides the right mix of theoretical and practical training in modern biology with due emphasis on the interface between the basic and clinical aspects of the subject.
The programme begins with a 3-month taught core module which brings the students of different life science backgrounds on a common platform to undertake the more specialized modules in immunology, molecular biology, oncology and virology later. All taught modules include student presentations, essays and written exams that ensure a thorough understanding. I especially liked and enjoyed the data interpretation series, which helped us probe published results critically and develop one's own understanding of the stated biological problems. In the research aspect, the programme provides for both library-based and laboratory-based exposure. As a student of life sciences, I found both my research projects quite redeeming. While my library-research project at LSHTM gave me an experience in data-mining and self-evaluation of current trends of a particular biomedical issue, my laboratory-research project provided hands-on practical training in a competitive research environment, where I later received a studentship to continue my work for a PhD. Additionally, as a UCL post-graduate student one gets access and flexibility to undertake skill development courses in any Bloomsbury network institute, be it in statistics, reference management, programming etc. as per individual needs .
Lastly, I must mention that as an international student I have always found UCL to be full of warmth. The academic environment here seamlessly embraces students of different nationalities and makes one feel at home. I made numerous friends from different countries during my course which has benefited me considerably in my approach and personality."
Student Career Paths:
2011-13 intake students:
"At the moment I have just started a graduate
medicine course at Kings college London. I found that the Msc in Molecular
Medicine was hugely useful for entry into this course and has made the course
much easier."
"I started my PhD at the Institute of Child Health [at the Molecular Immunology Unit]. I found having a Personal Tutor helpful because I had a person that I could talk to and ask further questions. Luckily, I didn't experience any difficulties or problems so that I didn't really need any help. During the first term my personal tutor provided me with tips and experiences from her time as students and gave me some suggestions. She also offered to proof read my letter of interest for my PhD applications which was very helpful for me."
"I have been awarded a joint MRC-university studenship and curently I am starting my PhD at the University of Manchester on gut microflora.
Regarding the personal tutor, I found it particularly helpful. As a foreign student, my tutor provided significant advice about the course, the projects and most importantly supported me emotionally in difficult times. Also, through her advice on my hunt for PhDs, she helped me a lot."
"Current status: PhD student - Medical University of Vienna - CeMM (Research Centre for Molecular Medicine).
My personal tutor has been a really positive experience, in both professional and personal side. Support has been continuous from her side and even more intense since I started my lab project under her supervision."
"I am currently working for the ISD at UCL. I started this on a casual basis whilst doing the MSc but since finishing have been able to take on more work for them...I was recently asked by the Med School to put together and provide support for a Moodle site for the fourth year medics, and present it to them on the first day. I'm also helping promote and develop UCL's smartphone app. So the work varies.
My personal tutor was very good. She always listened to any concerns I had, and said she would pass these onto the course organisers. She also gave good tips on how to read papers, structure writeups and plan projects. I had mentioned the possibility of pursuing a PhD during the year though and she gave me some ideas of where to look."
"I am currently in further education, studying dentistry (graduate entry programme)...I did find my Lab Project Supervisor very helpful in terms of advice on next steps and career options after the MSc, etc."

Addiction Professionals Say Health Reform May Not Increase Access to Treatment
A 2010 survey of substance abuse treatment providers showed a field that expects continued barriers to patient access despite health care reform, especially as funding sources change, Addiction Professional magazine reported Nov. 1, 2010.
The 27-item online survey, which was conducted by the magazine in September and October 2010, received 363 respondents from treatment facilities. It covered types of treatment offered, patient characteristics, drugs of choice, and business trends. Respondents represented many levels of care and types of clients served; most (61 percent) served clients that were publicly-funded, primarily Medicaid, while about one third said they did not work with third-party payers.
Although the majority (55 percent) of respondents said they had seen an overall increase in their client censuses in the past year, fewer than half (47 percent) projected patient volume to continue to grow in the next three years, in spite of expected changes to health care because of a workforce shortage and fears that public dollars for treatment – in particular the federal block grant for substance abuse – could disappear.
"There will be fewer sources to pay, and services will be reimbursed at lower rates," said one survey participant, William LaBine, who directs the Jackie Nitschke Center in Green Bay. LaBine's agency has had to diversify its client base and funders as public sources of funding have declined.
"We have to get more of an employed client with health insurance," LaBine said.
One provider described it as an uncertain time for providers. Jim Curtin, of New Jersey's Daytop Village, an adolescent treatment facility in New Jersey, said the impending changes were similar to those brought by managed care.
Only about 40 percent of providers said they were using an electronic health record system. Curtin said money was the barrier for his agency. "We'll need some [financial] assistance," he said.
Asked to name the leading drugs of choice among their clients, slightly less than half of the survey's participants named alcohol, followed distantly by stimulants. Marijuana ranked low on the list, but over 50 percent of the respondents reported an increase in the incidence of marijuana dependence, and Curtin said it was the number one drug of choice among the teens his program sees.
Referring to marijuana, he said, "I don't think we've seen an appreciation of the problem of dependence."
In response to a question new on the survey this year, 27 percent of the survey participants said their agencies had encountered clients on the autism spectrum.
Substance abuse treatment medications were offered at over half of the providers represented. Most common were buprenorphine, acamprosate and oral naltrexone.

Podcast—What is glaucoma?
[Music Playing.]
M: According to the National Eye Institute an estimated 2.2 million Americans have been diagnosed with glaucoma. It is estimated that the number of people who have glaucoma will only increase, reaching an estimated 3.3 million people by the year 2020 because of the rapidly aging U.S. population. Dr. Lee Ball optometrist at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and a member of the National Eye Health Education Program Planning Committee explains more about the disease responsible for these alarming statistics.
Dr. Ball: Glaucoma is a group of diseases that affects the optic nerve. It generally is caused by high pressure, although normal pressure in some instances can still cause damage to the nerve. The optic nerve you can think of it as a fiber optic cable. It is comprised of over one million individual nerves that carries information received from the eye to the brain which interprets what we see. When pressure damages the optic nerve we begin to lose vision, peripheral vision first and then if left untreated it can lead to blindness.
M: Although there are several types of glaucoma primary open angle glaucoma is the most common form of the disease. Currently there is no known cure for glaucoma, fortunately however, there are a number of treatment options including medications, laser surgery and conventional surgery. These can help reduce the effects of the disease especially when it is detected early. For more information about glaucoma and its symptoms visit www.nei.nih.gov/glaucoma. For the National Eye Institute this has been a focus on glaucoma.

I have a faulty GEM Module and have found some 2nd hand GEM modules from car breakers with 6 months warranty. My only question is Ford tell me a GEM module has to be programmed and it may no be possible to program a 2nd hand one, can anyone give me some advice regarding this, am I not able to swap in a 2nd hand one?, will the keyfobs work, if any programming is needed can I do it myself?

Obviously this sounds like ford bs. But i dont wanna waste £30 on a used unit if it wont work.
Posted 21 March 2013 - 07:49 PM
Nazsky786 thanks for the reply, still in an awkward position. I am unable to find a used one with the same part number as mine any ideas?, Colin you say £30 for a used one, where from?, I have tried the car breakers but nothing with the same model number as mine. Ford want to charge me £600 to put a new gem module which includes the parts, the labour and they say as I do not have a 2nd key I will need to buy one as they are unable to program the new gem module without a second key, I need help as that is a hell of a lot of money to fix the wiper issue, any help or advice is much appreicated
Posted 21 March 2013 - 07:58 PM
Posted 21 March 2013 - 08:09 PM
My part number is 7M5T14A073, is that the one you need?, or you need the ford ford part number 1712211. Please let me know if you can get one for mine from the breakers near you?, have you heard about having to have 2 keys to program the box?, also do you know if it is possible to get the gem repaired?
Posted 21 March 2013 - 08:20 PM
As for your part number the only important bits are 7m5t and the first of the two letters after the numbers. The first letter represents options the car is configured for eg cruise control. If you get a D as the first letter its good for everything except st and cc models.
So if you get 7M5T xxxxxx Dx where x can be any letter or number it should be good. You then just need a elm327 cable and some free software to write your cars spec to it.
If you got a brand new one from ford it would be a model number as above because although they made 100's of varients on the production line they only sell the D type enabled for all as a replacement.
As said above though i need confirmation that a second hand unit can be used by someone thats done it as im told by ford only a new virgin unit will work.

Orleans starts with an intriguing question: what if Hurricane Katrina was only the beginning?
In this futuristic sci-fi story, the 2005 storm is followed by a series of increasingly devastating hurricanes. Living conditions become horrific for those who choose to stay on the Gulf Coast, and by 2025 the outbreak of a deadly plague called Delta Fever prompts the U.S. government to quarantine the entire region. Fast forward a few more decades, and the survivors in Orleans live in tribes according to blood type - a characteristic more important than any other, as blood type dictates one's susceptibility to Delta Fever.
When 15 year-old Fen's tribal leader, Lydia, dies just after giving birth, Fen commits herself to honoring Lydia's wish that her child make it to the Outer States - the place beyond the wall that separates Orleans from the U.S. Along the way she meets Daniel, a young scientist who illegally crossed the wall and believes he can find a cure to Delta Fever.
Orleans is told through alternating viewpoints, and though Fen's native dialect is tricky at first, it does not detract from the power of the story. This is a fast-paced adventure with compelling themes - climate change, racism, and human survival.
Happy anniversary to Nemo, Dory and the whole Finding Nemo crew! It's been ten years since the movie debuted in theaters in June 2003. To celebrate, here are some interesting tidbits about the movie.
"Nemo first appeared as a stuffed toy on a couch in Boo's room in Monsters, Inc.. This movie introduces the main characters of post-2003 Pixar films. A boy in the dentist's office is reading a "Mr. Incredible" comic book, anticipating The Incredibles. Luigi the car is driving by the dentist's office, anticipating Cars." -- imdb.com
"Rendering a frame which lasted about 1/24th of a second in the film could take up to four days because of the complexity of the underwater environment with sunlight coming through the water and hitting fish scales." -- imdb.com
"Pixar developed a very realistic look of the surface water, but had to make it look more fake so people wouldn't think it was real footage of the ocean surface. " -- imdb.com
"This is the first time real blood was seen in a Pixar movie." -- pixar.wikia.com
Fascinating stuff, eh?

Every spring, we at the Evergreen reference desk get scores of questions about daily life in Shakespearean England. What did ordinary people wear? How did life in the country differ from life in the city? What holidays did people celebrate? Nerd Alert: I love these questions. They give me an opportunity to use one of my favorite databases, Daily Life Through History.
Daily Life Through History covers thousands of years of history in virtually every corner of the world, from the Australian Aborigines of 10,000 years ago to 1943's Zoot Suit Riots. It includes articles on eras and analysis of historical events and culture. Within each era are articles about families, entertainment, literature, and other aspects of domestic life. You can browse topics or search for specific information. Plus, there are photos, maps, and videos, too. Next time you have a daunting project for history or English, ask your friendly librarian about Daily Life Through History.
It is 70 years in the future- chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is rare, water is rationed and New York City is full of crime and poverty. Anya's life is almost normal (she goes to school, tends to her grandmother and siblings) despite everything until her ex boyfriend is poisoned by the chocolate her family makes. She finds herself in the spotlight--at school, in the news, and most importantly, within her mafia family. I loved this suspenseful fantasy very much. Of course, the title also reminded me of one of my favorite Killers' songs of the same title.
ANOTHER Shakespeare movie?! Yes, indeed! And this one is directed by Joss Whedon, of Marvel Avenger's, Serenity, Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog, and Toy Story fame. He is a multi-talented guy who writes scripts and comic books as well as directs. Some of his more notable comic books include Astonishing X-Men, Runaways, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Angel: After the Fall.
So why Shakespeare? Why not!? Much Ado About Nothing, written over 400 years ago, is one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies -- offering up lively humor, intersperced with thoughtful meditations on politics, honor and the nature of shame. Plus, no one dies! Yay!
Whedon's take on Much Ado is shot in a very arty black and white which renders up each face in loving, graphic detail; perfectly complimenting the slamming wit of our beloved bard.

BOSTON (AP) Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown tells WBZ-AM he won't be a candidate for Massachusetts governor next year. The former Republican senator and state lawmaker spoke Wednesday night on the "NightSide With Dan Rea'' radio program.
Brown had been mentioned as a possible GOP candidate. Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick is not seeking a third term. Brown had told supporters at the Iowa State Fair on Sunday that he is "exploring a possible run'' for president in 2016.
Brown won a 2010 special election to fill the unexpired Senate term of the late Edward Kennedy. He lost in 2012 to Democrat Elizabeth Warren.
Another Republican believed to be weighing a gubernatorial bid is Charles Baker, the former CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and the 2010 GOP nominee for governor. Several Democrats are running.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- CT Scans to Check the Status of the Tumor [ Time Frame: 6 weeks after last dose of proton radiation and 3 months after the first follow-up visit ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]6 weeks after last dose of proton radiation, and 3 months after the first follow-up visit, either a PET/CT scan or CT scan of the chest will be performed.
Estimated Enrollment: | 30 |
Study Start Date: | July 2010 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | July 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: Proton Therapy
The radiation prescription dose ranges from 45 Gy in 3 Gy fractions to 60 Gy in 4 Gy fractions. Patients will be assigned to receive 1 of 3 doses of radiation therapy, based on when they joined the study. The first group of at least 3 participants will receive the lowest total radiation dose. If the first dose is tolerated well by the first group of participants in this study, then the next group of participants will receive the second, higher dose of radiation. If this dose is tolerated, then a third group will be treated at the highest dose.
Radiation: Proton Therapy
The regimen of 45 Gy in 15 fractions will be delivered as a baseline, and then the fraction size will be escalated in two different intervals of 0.5 Gy each, with the ultimate dose being 60 Gy in 4 Gy fractions.

Financial Aid General Info Applications Unemployed? Important Dates Events How to Contact Financial Aid Offices Financial Aid FAQs Helpful Links Dream Act Information Dream Act Resources |
Financial Aid General InfoAll students who may need financial assistance for college are encouraged to apply for aid. Even those who think they may not be eligible may be surprised. So be sure to apply. To apply for federal, state and college financial aid programs, you need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). For the Cal Grant program you must submit a verified Cal Grant GPA by March 2nd. Some colleges may also request additional documents such as tax returns to complete your financial aid file, so you should respond quickly to all requests made by a campus financial aid office. Several types of state and institutional aid are also available to AB 540 students as a result of the California Dream Act. To learn more, visit the Dream Act Information section of this website. Sources and types of financial aid The Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOGFW) Program waives enrollment fees for qualified students for the entire school year. Students may receive a waiver for any number of units, with no minimum. You qualify if you have some financial need, receive Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (AFDC/TANF), Supplemental Security Income/SSP or General Assistance and those who meet certain income standards. Grants are a form of financial aid that doesn't have to be paid back (unless you withdraw from school and owe a refund by agreement). Federal grant programs include Pell Grants, awarded to low-income students and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants for low-income students with exceptional financial need. Cal Grants are funded by the State of California and are administered by the California Student Aid Commission. There are several different types of Cal Grants. To learn about them, visit www.calgrants.org. Scholarships are a form of aid that is based upon specific qualifications, talents, or merit, often without regard to financial need. Hundreds of thousands of scholarships and fellowships from several thousand public and private sponsors are awarded each year in the United States. See our "helpful links" page for free scholarship search sites on the web. Work-study programs allow you to earn money to pay for your education through part-time jobs. Loans for financing your education are available from a variety of programs, including:
Eligibility Your eligibility also depends on some additional factors. First, there are basic requirements that do not relate to your financial need. To be eligible for most financial aid you must:
Second, your family income, assets, and other financial factors are reviewed to see if you could be financially eligible to receive aid. Your eligibility relates to the cost of the college you attend. In other words, you're likely to be eligible for more money if you're attending an expensive college than if you're attending a lower-cost institution. Third, the aid you may be offered depends on when you apply, when you respond to requests from the Financial Aid Office, and any types of special eligibility you may demonstrate. Finally, to continue receiving your financial aid, you have to make progress towards your educational objectives while you are in college. Your college financial aid office can explain eligibility to you in more detail and answer any specific questions you may have. |

Myanmar to allow UN aid deliveries to Kachin state
Wednesday - 2/6/2013, 10:50am  ET
YANGON, Myanmar (AP) -- Myanmar will allow the United Nations into strife-torn Kachin state to deliver humanitarian aid for the first time since a recent escalation of fighting between ethnic rebels and government troops, officials said Wednesday.
The announcement came after the government and rebels agreed Monday to work toward ending a bloody conflict that has forced thousands of civilians to flee the area in northern Myanmar.
Presidential spokesman Ye Htut confirmed that agencies providing humanitarian assistance will be allowed access to Kachin state.
"Who will be in the group, how it will be done or who will take charge of security will be discussed," he said in response to an emailed query.
A U.N. spokesman, Aye Win, said it was "significant" that aid could be delivered for the first time since fighting escalated in December.
The U.N.'s last aid mission to Kachin state was in July.
The conflict in Kachin state has cast a shadow on Myanmar's progress in implementing democratic reforms after a half-century of repressive military rule.

A different approach to GPS-enabled cameras
Photography's essential use of GPS differs from the typical GPS application in one significant way: You don't need it to tell you where you are, only where you've been. Why does this distinction matter? Because the former requires far more real-time horsepower and precision than the latter does. For digital photography, that translates into the difference between bulky, expensive power-draining solutions or small-footprint, cheap, energy-efficient ones.
At least, that's the thinking behind NXP Software's swGPS technology, and I think it has a lot of merit. With the swGPS software embedded in a camera along with … Read more

Am I Going Crazy?—An all-too frequent question from grievers.
"Since my mother's death, I've had the experience of being in one room, deciding to go to another room to do something, and when I get there, I don't have a clue what I'm there for. Am I going crazy?"
No, you're not crazy. For most people, the immediate response to the awareness of the death of someone important to them is a sense of numbness. After that initial numbness wears off, the most common physiological reaction is a reduced ability to concentrate. The rest of the world goes out of focus. Nothing else is important. It is normal and natural that your entire being is centered on what happened and your relationship with the person who died.
The length of time that the reduced ability to concentrate lasts is individual and can vary from a few days to several months, and even longer. It is not a sign that there's something wrong with you. Realistically, the fact that the emotional impact of the death of that person has altered your day-to-day routines indicates something very healthy. It would make no sense for you not to be affected by the death.
Ask John & Russell – Helping youself with your grief is sometimes the best way to help someone you care about. Lead by example. (Published 3/4/2014)
Q:I have been married to my husband since he was 17 and I was16. He is in his 40s now, but he is terribly depressed. I don't know how to help him. At first, he lost his sister when she was young—age 26—very unexpectedly. Then his mother, his grandmother, his father, and now his niece. They were so close together and so unexpected that he can't handle all this. His fear now is that I am going to die, because everyone he had left in the world has died already, and there's no one left. It's so hard for him to keep a job, and hard for him to want to keep going on. How do I help him? He has suffered more losses than anyone should, too soon. Thank you for any help you can offer.

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act. The law puts in place comprehensive health insurance reforms that will roll out over four years and beyond. Click here for an overview of the key features of the Affordable Care Act year-by-year.
A primary goal of the Affordable Care Act is to help the 16% uninsured and eligible in Tennessee gain access to quality, affordable healthcare. Central to this goal is the creation of the Health Insurance Marketplace. Through the Marketplace, eligible Americans will be able to enroll in a health plan to get coverage that starts in January 2014.
Key Facts:
- 16% uninsured
- 6-month open enrollment period begins Oct. 1, 2013 and ends March 31, 2014
- Coverage begins as early as Jan. 1, 2014
- Many people will get savings they can use right away to help them pay for insurance in the Marketplace (including an individual with income less than $45,960 or a family of 4 with income less than $94,200).
Need health coverage? The Health Insurance Marketplace will give you a clear picture of what you'll pay and what you'll get before you make a choice. Visit HealthCare.gov to learn more.

I'm not sure who is at most fault--the artist, label or media--but this whole notion that it is acceptable to deliver an album that is only digestible in small dosages is annoying. Considering the slump in record sales in recent years, it is apparent that the buying public has had enough.
This wasn't the case 25 years ago when Michael Jackson released his classic Thriller album. I'm looking at the track listing and the notes about the performance of each single, and it is actually pretty shocking when compared to contemporary records.
Thiller had just nine songs on it. Of those nine songs, seven reached the top 10. If you break down those seven top 10 tracks, five entered the top five, two of which even hit number one. Talk about getting your money's worth. Soulja Boy has been Yahoo! Music's most searched artist for more than two months, but doesn't the Superman craze stop with "Crank That"?I am not comparing the artistry of Michael to that of Soulja Boy. I'm just making the point that there is a major difference between the music crazes that consumed 13-year-olds today and 25 years ago. I should know. I was in the 8th grade when Thriller came out. The only song I hated on the album was "Billie Jean" and that's solely because my name is Billy, and all the kids thought it was so funny to call me Billie Jean.
Even as a young teen it was easy to appreciate Mike's good music. For me, it was the pureness in his voice when he sang ballads like "She's Outta My Life" from the Off The Wall album or the way he attacked each syllable on "Beat It." Add to that the production genius of Quincy Jones and all the elements of performance that Mike brings to the table and it was revolutionary. 25 years later it is still relevant.Eighteen year-old Chris Brown can impress his fans by incorporating a tribute to Mike during his show while more bits of Mike's work can be found in offerings from everyone from Usher to Ne-Yo to Fallout Boy (see Mike influences video show).
A couple more young Mike fans will be paying their respects in an even bigger way. Kanye West, will.i.am, and Akon contribute remixes to Thriller - 25th Anniversary Edition due out in February.
Will.i.am remixes "The Girl Is Mine 2008," "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)," and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," the latter also features Akon. Kanye provides "Billie Jean 2008." These are packaged along with the original track listing, a few previously unreleased songs and a DVD featuring three videos and the classic Motown 25: Yesterday, Today And Forever performance of "Billie Jean" where Michael introduced the Moon Walk.
It's crazy to think that a person with such a legacy has descended from the uncontested self-proclaimed King Of Pop to that of the King Of The Tabloids for his controversial plastic surgeries and affection for kids.
After the child molestation trial in 2005, I seriously wondered how his catalog would fare after he endured such a turbulent media frenzy. Water cooler talk about the trial had not been in Mike's favor. I got my answer when attending my wife's company's holiday party that year.
While socializing and eating hors d'oeuvres, the deejay started the party, kicking things off with Michael's "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough." I felt a lump in my throat. I thought, Everyone is sick of Mike right now. No one wants to give him a second thought. The deejay needs to change the song.
But I was wrong. People put down their drinks and packed the dance floor within minutes. It was like it was 1979 all over again.

Talk show comedian Conan O'Brien spent a couple of minutes discussing his experiences playing Diablo III on a recent show. While he calls the graphics and gameplay "great," O'Brien takes issue with the voices and dialogue."They don't seem to suit the dark and violent tone," O'Brien complains.
OK, so it's really just an excuse for him to show a few clips from the game while providing zany voiceovers. If you've played the game, perhaps you'll be amused by the following video. Team Coco forever?

We're finally back on track with the kung-fu lessons, and today we're going to talk about something very important: how being human limits what you can do in an Age of Wushu duel. Like a lot of skills relating to dueling and strategy, this is a fairly broad skill that can be applied to a lot of games.Reaction speed is one of the most difficult things to train in Age of Wushu, especially for old-timers like me. Reacting to things in a timely matter is a massive advantage; it lets you punish feints, interrupt sluggish normal attacks, and stun people out of dance-like moves. The trouble is, we're human, and humans are slow. This time, we're going to look at exactly what that means in hard technical terms.

Black Gold is giving the center stage to its Dwarven race this week, claiming that these short and stout people are responsible for the creation of steam technology.Along with dispensing with some backstory on the Dwarves, the article emphasizes that the race is extremely durable and a huge fan of melee combat. Their main downside is that they have no access to magic, limiting them to the Arbiter and Tech Adept classes.

A Queens woman is facing drunk driving charges after police say her car plunged into waters near John F. Kennedy Airport in Queens on Sunday morning, killing one of her passengers.
Denise Finley, 32, was charged by police with driving while intoxicated and driving without a license.
Authorities say Finley lost control of her Ford vehicle while traveling south on Brookville Boulevard at Rockaway Boulevard around 4:30 a.m.
The car, which was carrying six people, overturned and fell into the water.
One passenger, 25-year-old Dominique Jamison, was critically injured and later died in the hospital.
Three others passengers were treated for minor injuries and released and one ran from the scene.
Six firefighters also received minor injuries during the rescue.
Jamison, a single mother of a seven-month-old girl, had recently earned her bachelor's degree in acting, and was coming home from a night out celebrating with friends.
"Right now, my heart is broke, it's just broke. It's, it's... there's no bringing her back to me," said Lenay Jamison, Dominique's mother. "I just have to remember the good times with my daughter. My only girl, she loved her baby."
Lenay Jamison plans to raise her granddaughter.

Literary Techniques
The contrasts of light and darkness, of land and sea, of innocence and experience common to Conrad's work are present in a vibrant way in Chance. Conrad's use of dialogue and physical description are also well-established techniques used in this work to great advantage. What is missing, however, is his generally poetic tone. In part, the change in tone is attributable to the necessity Marlow feels to explain each phase of the history he relates, which he is part of, and which he helps to change. The burden of narration, of storytelling, outweighs the tendency to brooding reflection and analysis characteristic of the earlier Marlow and Conrad. The narrative technique is a discontinuous narrative told over several meetings to the unnamed listener. Conrad then weaves the narratives of the Fynes, Powell, and Flora into Marlow's story, which moves back and forth in time over a period of several years. This is not an uncommon technique in Conrad but is exercised with chronological clarity in each attempt to delve into the past and to set the record straight regarding the full circumstances of each chance that forms part of the main Chance.

Social Concerns
Chance chronicles the potentially devastating effects of capital venture upon several characters, principally Flora de Barral whose father, exposed as a swindler, is revealed as merely an inept financier, more a victim of his scheme than a predator. Conrad probes the English class structure, chiefly the middle class and, to an extent, the world of governesses and domestic help. His presentation of the world of finance and capital venture follows the career of the unfortunate de Barral and amply illustrates both the sphere of finance and the courts and men of law eager to be in on the kill. But the central focus is on Flora in the role of social outcast who, under the weight of her alienation first appears to Marlow when she contemplates suicide on the edge of a precipice. Another focus of the narrative derives from its title, the chances or opportunities given to the several characters, among them Powell, Captain Anthony, Flora, de Barral, and Marlow himself; in Marlow's case this applies to chance meetings, the chance of arranging matters between Powell and Flora as the story ends, and the chance of telling the whole tale to his younger, unnamed acquaintance. The place of fate or chance in human endeavors has both positive and negative outcomes, but the main chances with which the tale begins and ends are affirmative, so that, like the role of chance in "The Secret Sharer," chance here has a life-affirming role in the narrator's concept of self and of...
(The entire section is 284 words.)
Literary Precedents
Conrad's principal literary precedent for the elaborately contrived swindles is found in the novels of Dickens, especially in his depiction of the Anglo-Bengalee fraud of Tigg Montagne in Martin Chuzzlewit (1843-1844) and in some segments of Little Dorritt (1855-1857) and Our Mutual Friend (1864-1866) as they relate to wealth. The many coincidences or chances in the novel share in the novelistic traditions that make virtues of chance meetings; again Dickens comes to mind as one who perfected the technique. Indeed Chance closely resembles the plot of a Dickens novel; Conrad's novel contains a damsel in distress who is idealized and sentimentalized, and a parent who is the victim of his own manias and whose burden the daughter must bear. Indeed de Barral has much in common with Nell's grandfather in The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-1841). And, surprisingly for Conrad's readers, Chance has no tragic ending but the promise of a happy one for Flora and Powell and for Marlow as well. These and other similarities with Dickens' works help account for the instant popularity of the novel.
(The entire section is 177 words.)
Marlowe appears as the narrator in several of Conrad's stories and novels, but his role varies. As in Heart of Darkness (1902), the characters listening to Marlow in "Youth" are the Director of Companies, the man of finance, the man of law and the teller of the tale. Marlow is, again, the principal actor and narrator of his own experience as second mate who gets his first command in a lifeboat of the ill-fated Judea and so lays eyes upon the East for the first time. Captain Beard and the first mate Mahon play important roles to Marlow who is bent on exploring the valor, strength, foolishness, optimism and evanescence of his own youth and youth generally.
The Marlow of Heart of Darkness is stronger than the present Marlow who is too deeply involved with his own past to avoid sentimentality and so becomes a victim of narrational and perhaps authorial irony, particularly if one recalls that the young Marlow of the tale is now about the age of Captain Beard in the story, sixty. In one sense the present Marlow is purged of idealism in "Youth" (written 1898) to appear in a stronger guise in Heart of Darkness (written 1899).
