A 9-year-oldgirl spoke out against common core curriculum standards at a legislative committee hearingWednesday in Raleigh.
LolaWhitener asked her parents to home school her because common core-basedcurriculum bored her.
"I sat byand watch my friends not learning but playing during the day," Whitener said. "Idon't want common core because it will make kids into mindless people."
Lola'smother Rebecca said she played no role in getting her daughter to testify.
"I'm a nurse.I take care of sick people," Rebecca Whitener said. "I don't do any type ofpolitical thing."
LolaWhitener said it was important to tell those making the decisions that commoncore was not working. She said she wanted to speak up not only for herself butfor all of her friends who are in school now.
More than 60people testified, including the North Carolina Teacher of the Year KarynDickerson. She believes lawmakers heard a good cross section of views on commoncore.
"It wasinteresting to hear from both sides who cited evidence to support theirarguments," Dickerson said. "And that really is what common core is all about."
Common core was implemented in this state in 2010.
The committee said their recommendations will be revealedin about a month. Those recommendations will help lawmakers decide if theyshould change the way common core is being implemented in the state.

Jon Stewart loves the de Blasios, dons own Dante-esque 'fro
Jon Stewart and "The Daily Show" took on Tuesday's preliminary election results on last night's show, and first-place Democratic mayoral candidate Bill de Blasio's charismatic and "incredibly awesome family" were shown a lot of love.
"Adopt me?" Stewart asked after showing a clip of the family's synchronized dance move, "The Smackdown," which they did at an election night party in Brooklyn after the results came in.
At one point, Stewart even donned an afro, paying tribute to Dante de Blasio's hair.
"You know, somehow after 12 years of Captain Soda Narc, I think New York City might be ready for a charismatic biracial family with their own signature synchronized dance moves, that appear to have been beamed here from their very own 1970s musical variety special," Stewart said.
"Who is better than this family? Nobody is better than this family!" he declared.

Posted in Our Planet, Our Universe
On August 3, 2004 NASA launched the MESSENGER discovery mission, an unmanned spacecraft set to send back pictures of the entire planet of Mercury. This mission is monumental because this is the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury and the first pictures of Mercury we will have from a spacecraft since Mariner 10 in 1974. The magnetic pull of the sun coupled with the intense heat have made it very difficult to obtain any images of the sunny side of Mercury. Until now we have only had recorded images of 45 percent of the planet's surface. Scientists researched and found the best way around this dilemma is through the inner solar system.
When MESSENGER launched from Earth in 2004 it began an eight year path into Mercury's orbit. First it flew by Earth once, then by Venus twice, and took a flyby of Mercury. In 2008 the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) craft made its initial approach and took pictures of regions of Mercury that have never been seen before by the human eye. Last month on March 17, 2011 the MESSENGER craft successfully entered the orbit of Mercury. On March 29th we got the first pictures back of Mercury from orbit and they are spectacular! The MESSENGER mission will continue collecting data for another year.
Scientists hope that from this mission we will gain more insight into the mysteries of Mercury including its geologic features, its core and density, its thin atmosphere yet presence of a magnetic field, the unusual materials at the poles, and possibly clues to the evolution of the solar system itself.
Find out more about Mercury and the other planets in our solar system by visiting The Orlando Science Center and exploring our permanent exhibit on astronomy and Earth Science, Our Planet, Our Universe.

Great pants
Member since
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
These are durable, comfy and the zip off feature makes them amazing when dropping down into a hot valley or just hiking in varaible weather. They also have real belt loops so if you need to wear a knife/weapon you can throw a HD belt on. I have a 34" inseam and the regular fits fine...the long would be too much I think.
Large / Long fits just right
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I'm a bit over 6'5" and 210lbs. The Large / Long fits just right so I don't have slack on the bottom of my pants hitting the ground. Without shoes on, the bottom back edge of the pants by my heel are about 1/2" from the ground. The full cut is nice and roomy without being baggy/sloppy. I dig 'em.

Thanks Hans!
Great pants
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
These pants are very nice. I wanted to get something for hiking/kayaking and the zip off legs work good to adjust to the changing temps. They are very comfortable and love how water beads right off them. I am about 5'11" and typically wear a 30" inseam but I got the regular length and they are a little long, so make sure to check out the sizing chart.

Seeks special funding to support investment in new programs in high-priority occupations
Harrisburg – The Board of Governors of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) has endorsed a proposed 2014-15 budget proposal that would provide the framework for transforming the State System to meet the changing demands of students and employers in the commonwealth.
The proposal includes an increase of approximately $16.5 million in funding from the state for basic university operations and features a targeted line item of $18 million to allow the PASSHE universities to accelerate ongoing new program development and expansion of areas of study aligned with high-priority workforce needs in the Commonwealth.
"We are retooling our universities to meet changing student demographics; new workforce demands; and the rapid evolution of how, where, when and by whom courses and programs are offered," said board chair Guido M. Pichini. "University investment in the realignment of programs and resources is evidence of PASSHE's determination to continue to offer high quality, affordable education that remains current in today's economy."
PASSHE universities have over the last five years introduced 56 new academic programs in areas such as software engineering, applied science, safety management and a variety of allied health fields. At the same time, the universities placed 158 low-enrolled programs in moratorium, meaning they no longer accept new students while ensuring currently enrolled students receive the classes and support they need through graduation; discontinued 40 programs in which no students were enrolled; and reorganized 90 programs to ensure their currency.
"We are in the midst of the process of reducing or eliminating programs that have experienced low student demand in the past few years," said new Chancellor Frank T. Brogan. "And, because we are a public university system, all of the changes on our campuses, including realignment of our faculty, are in full view."
While the elimination of low-enrolled programs has produced some campus savings, those savings are not sufficient to fund the startup of new programs or expansion of existing high-need programs which, in many cases, are high cost because of equipment needs. That is the purpose of the special line item request approved by the Board.
"PASSHE's commitment to ensuring relevance in our programs, reducing costs through collaboration and focusing resources on what students want and the commonwealth needs represent time-honored principles followed by effective organizations in both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors," Mr. Brogan said. "Our record of providing outstanding educational value to our students must never be compromised.
"During this time of transformation, I can assure you that each of our universities will strive to be the best it can be, focusing on its strengths, maintaining its quality programming and developing new academic offerings that respond to changing workforce demands."
With the request approved today, the Board is seeking the Commonwealth to share in that investment.
The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education is the largest provider of higher education in the commonwealth, with about 112,000 students. The 14 PASSHE universities offer degree and certificate programs in more than 120 areas of study. About 500,000 PASSHE alumni live and work in Pennsylvania.
The state-owned universities are Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock and West Chester Universities of Pennsylvania. PASSHE also operates branch campuses in Clearfield, Freeport, Oil City and Punxsutawney and several regional centers, including the Dixon University Center in Harrisburg and the Philadelphia Multi University Center in Philadelphia.

Terrance McGee
Salukis host Upper Iowa at 7:05 p.m. Saturday.
Jalen Pendleton and Anthony Beane, Jr. have signed scholarship agreements with SIU.
Head coach Barry Hinson will introduce his coaching staff.
McGee has served the past two seasons as an assistant coach at Grand Valley State University.
Saluki men's basketball coach Barry Hinson named Terrance McGee, one of his former players at Missouri State, to his staff at Southern Illinois University on April 19, 2012.
McGee served the previous two seasons as an assistant coach at Grand Valley State University, during which time the Lakers compiled a 33-21 record, including a 19-8 mark and third-place finish in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 2011.
"It is imperative that we find somebody who has energy, is loyal and really wants to work hard," Hinson said. "Terrance met every one of these criteria as both a player and as an assistant coach, and I am more than happy to bring him on board. He is fired up about becoming a Saluki."
A 6-foot-2 guard who played collegiately for two seasons at Missouri State (2001-03), McGee averaged 14.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists his senior year and earned First-Team All-Missouri Valley Conference and All-Defensive Team honors. Prior to MSU, he spent two years at Kirkwood Community College (1999-2001). After his college career, McGee played professionally overseas for seven years.
"Terrance is real up-and-coming star in college coaching," said Ric Wesley, head coach at GVSU. "Our players have great respect for him because of his wealth of playing experience. He's a high-energy guy who has been a part of everything we do in our program."
A native of Milwaukee, Wis., McGee earned his undergraduate degree in hospitality and restaurant administration at MSU and was working toward a master's degree at Grand Valley.
"Coach Wesley got my feet wet in recruiting, breaking down film, scouting reports, and I got a taste of the Division II world," McGee said. "I'm ready to take the step to Division I and work for Coach Hinson, who has been a mentor and a father figure for me."

We wanted to ask the receptionist what was it but unfortunately the receptionist for the night shift does not speak english. The room we had was nice but they need to change the bed as just one tiny move it squeaks so much. The bathroom was not clean. "

40 years ago yesterday, in 1974, ABBA took the world by storm with Waterloo, beating Ireland's entry from Tina Reynolds into an honourable 7th place.
And how long ago it all seems now! Babies born in 1974 include Ryan Tubridy, Keith Duffy, Gráinne Seoige and Andrea Corr!
It was the year that Cearbahall Ó Dálaigh became the fifth president of Ireland; the army provided transport for the public as Dublin bus went on strike for 9 weeks and Powerscourt was destroyed by a fire.
The seventies was also the era of miniskirts and bell-bottoms, tank-tops and platforms – and the musical Joseph And His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat was the biggest stage hit of the year in Dublin. The cast included young comedian Brendan Grace and gave Tony Kenny one of his biggest hits: Any Dream Will Do.
But in Brighton, in England's sunny south east – it was all about one band which exploded into our collective consciousness on April 6th 1974. Agnetha, Frida, Benny and Bjorn, known as ABBA.
Joining us in studio today is Andy O'Callaghan - musician, keyboards player, arranger, composer and conductor. He has played keyboards at five Eurovision Song contests held in Dublin. And he's the conductor and arranger of an annual ABBA tribute show, performed with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra...
Platform boots, sequined jumpsuits, flared dungarees, tiny tunics and glittering hotpants – ABBA could never be described as 'shrinking violets' when it came to style – and satin seems to have been their material of choice.
To this day their costumes are emulated at Fancy Dress parties around the world by wannabe Bennies, Bjorns, Anna-Frids and Agnethas.
But, if you want to see the originals you'll have to travel to Stockholm in Sweden where the costumes are on display in Abba: The Museum.
Ingmarie Halling is the curator there - as well as being ABBA's former Wardrobe Supervisor - and she joins us on the line today from the UK...
Ingmarie has written a book about ABBA entitled: Abba: The Treasures. It's a book of unseen memorabilia and personal anecdotes. It was published in 2014 to mark the 40th anniversary of their Eurovision win. Abba: The Treasures is by Carl Magnus Palm and Ingmarie Halling. It's published by Carlton Books and the RRP is £30. The ISBN is 9781780974941. For more information, click here.
Charlie McGettigan & Paul Harrington
Today, we are celebrating the 40th anniversary of ABBA's Eurovision Song, Waterloo, considered by many to be the greatest Eurovision song of all time. But let's not forget, we've had some terrific entries ourselves, and some outstanding winners.
On the line this afternoon is a man celebrating the 20th anniversary of his own Eurovision victory, in partnership with Charlie McGettigan - Paul Harrington - the duo won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994 with Rock'n'Roll Kids:
To celebrating those 20 years, Paul and Charlie will be hositing a very special evening in Dublin tonight:
In the Sugar Club in Dublin, on Leeson Street, Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan will be performing a special 20th anniversary evening with invited guests. This year is the 20th anniversary of their victory with Rock'n'Roll Kids. Tickets for tonight's performance and €16.50, and can be purchased from www.tickets.ie, or on the door of the venue.
And for Eurovision fans, we have some very special news! As you know, Mooney is hosting a party on the night of the Eurovision Song Contest Final, which takes place on May 10th, 2014 - almost exactly two months away. And the good news is, Paul Harrington is going to come along and play on the evening!
Paul would be delighted to accompany people who want to sing their own special song - it doesn't have to be a Eurovision song. It could be anything. So if you've ever fancied singing with a Eurovision singer, read the info below to find out you could win a Golden Ticket to our Eurovision Green Room Party!
Join Mooney in our Eurovision Green Room at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre on Saturday, May 10th 2014. The party takes place in the Circle Club.
If you want to be there, all you have to do is tell us in not more than forty words why you and a friend or friends LOVE the Eurovision. All entrants/attendees must be over 18. If you are lucky enough to receive a golden invitation to our EUROVISION GREEN ROOM you will get to see all the action as it happens live from Copenhagen.
When you think of the Chelsea Flower Show, possibly the first person you would think of would be Diarmuid Gavin, as synonymous as he is with the world famous horticultural show...
But it's a different show where you'll find Diarmuid this weekend. Diarmuid has developed a range of paving products in association with Kilsaran Home, a 50 year old family firm based in Dunboyne, Meath, and those first products will make their debut at the Ideal Home Show, as part of the Show House Garden.
They plan to preview the range next August, when the World Garden Centre Congress meets in Ireland, and then launch to trade in September and have on shelves internationally early in 2015.
The Ideal Home Show runs throughout the weekend from Friday, April 11th (from 2.00pm-9.30pm) and Saturday and Sunday, April 12th and 13th (from 10am to 6pm each day). For more, visit www.idealhome.ie. For more information about Diarmuid at the Ideal Homes Show, visit www.idealhome.ie/home-extension-feature - and for free tickets to the event, click here. Diarmuid's Gardening Advice slots at the Show will be:
- Saturday, April 11th: 12.15pm - 12.45pm
- Sunday, April 12th: 3.15pm - 3.45pm
Dermot also chats to us about an amazing visit he made to the set of the TV series Dallas last November. He was doing a few reports for ITV's This Morning show, one of which was a visit to South Fork where they were filming the current series...

Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.

Please DO NOT send any live, dead or skeletal remains of any creature whatsoever to Mooney Goes Wild.

Albany Police are on high alert for possible gang retaliation following the shooting deaths of two young men in South Albany Sunday night.
Prosecutors say the victims were Blood gang members.
Investigators continue an intense manhunt for their killers who gunned down the two 20 year murder victims in a drive-by shooting that sent bullets flying into nearby homes and cars. Witnesses say about 50 shots were fired from a passing car, killing 20 year old William Davis Junior and Desmond Williams. Police say their investigation is being hampered because many witnesses are reluctant to talk.
Monday morning Albany Police Gang Unit Investigators and Officers walked up and down Willard Avenue, looking for information. About 9:45 Sunday night gunfire exploded from a passing car, killing 20 year old William Davis Junior and Desmond Williams, who were standing in the yard at 514 Willard. One of the people who lives in that home, who did not want us to show her face, was sitting on the front porch.
Witness not wanting to give her name said "There was a couple of people out there in the yard. The car came from that way, and they just started shooting. They rode down the street just shooting. I ran in the house."
How many shots did you hear? "About 50. It was a lot of shots fired last night. It was a lot of shots."
Police say she is not exaggerating. Investigators placed dozens of markers by shell casings in the street after the shooting, while stunned onlookers watched.
One of the bullets went through the window of the home.
Monday many friends and neighbors went to Williams family home next door.
Jennifer Ashby said "It's just a sad occasion. It's just sad to see his mama like that. You know, she really hurting. She won't eat. And we just feel for here."
David Williams said "He was a good kid. He was a good kid. Didn't fool with nobody or whatever. It's just a shame that things like this are happening now."
But Williams was wearing an ankle monitor when he died. He was on bond after being charged with 2 counts of aggravated assault and one charge of street gang terrorism. Investigators say Williams was involved in an April shooting on Patrol Drive, where a man was shot in the stomach and his house riddled with bullets.
William Davis, who was known as "bug eye" on the street, pled guilty just 10 days ago to aggravated assault and street gang terrorism, for his involvement in a shooting outside Monroe High School . Davis admitted being a Blood, who called themselves the pimp squad click.
Friends Monday said they were kind young men who were senselessly killed.
Unidentified neighbor said "They don't mess with nobody. They don't never mess with nobody. I just can't see how it happened to them. It just don't make no sense."
Ashby said "We do know Des was a good person. He was a good young man. Keep happy, and he didn't deserve this."
Police say Davis and Williams were standing by this Ford Crown Victoria when they were shot. Several bullets hit the car. 22 year old Nicholas Wright was in the car. He was not injured.
That neighbor, who did not want us to show her face, told us she was scared after the shooting. She told me she was moving, soon.
The coroner says Davis' and Williams' bodies will be sent for autopsy at the GBI Crime Lab Tuesday.
These are the first murders of the year in Albany, and Police and Gang Unit Investigators are asking the community's help to find the killers.
District Attorney Greg Edwards says the murders are definitely gang related and people in that neighborhood apparently are not telling Investigators what they need to know to track down the killers.
Investigators are urging people help them catch the killers and avoid further violence.
"People taking the notion they shouldn't snitch because that's what the whole culture is about," said D.A. Greg Edwards. "That don't tell the police what's going on, but certainly it makes you unsafe if you don't tell police what's going on. "Â@
You can give police information anonymously and still be eligible for a reward.
Call CRIMESTOPPERS at 436-TIPS.
The Taking Authority, Stop the Violence organization will be discussing the double murder at their weekly meeting Tuesday at noon at 529 Tenth Avenue.

What is the most cost effective way to get from the Suvarnabhumi Airport to Hua Hin (on Thailand's northwestern Gulf coast)? And how much would that be compared to a taxi ride?
A taxi ride would be at least 3000 Baht, but from the Airport you have taxi stands with fixed prices for most destination. From downtown Bangkok, you can negotiate to as low as 2000 Baht.
The less expensive would be to take the public minibuses. Thais use them for transport between provinces. Most of the minibuses can be catched at Victory Monument. To go there from the Airport either take a taxi (about 200 baht), or take the Airport Link to Phaya Thai. There are one rapid (100 baht I think) and one that stops to every station. At Phaya Thai, take the BTS to Victory Monument (one stop). Vans depart from several places under the Skytrain station (near Century mall), normally from ~7am to ~8pm.
So total for the less expensive trip would be Airport Link (45 baht) -> Bts (15 baht) -> Minibus (~200 baht) = 260 baht.
More infos : Bangkok public transport map, Getting to Hua Hin
Try this:
It is 305 Baht for a trip from Suvarnabhumi to Hua Hin on a bus with AC. Estimated travel time is 3 hours.
This service is brand new, it just started on 29 November 2012.
Use Train,
PS. check the train time table at http://www.railway.co.th
The best way is to stay at the Inter-Continental and charter their Cessna for the 35-minute hop.
But at 50,000 baht one-way, this may not be all that cost-effective ;)
I think a metered taxi from the airport (Suvarnabhumi) to Hua-hin should be around 2,500 Baht, I did a quick online search and found a company called oriental escape that offer airport or downton pickup and transfer to Hua-hin for 2,650 Baht in an economy car (toyota Soluna) so a taxi should be a little bit cheaper than that, I usually get a taxi from Sukhumvit to Hua-hin and pay around 2,200 Baht!
I have used www.bangkokshuttle.com several times to get from the airport into downtown Bangkok. Apparently, they also serve Hua Hin for 2,800 THB. Clean and hassle-free.
i have travelled many times to Hua Hin. The most cost effective way to travel is by train as Fawas described above, another easy way is using the airport bus shuttle, but.. i have had to wait almost 2 hours sometimes before leaving the airport, and that is not really great after a 11 hour flight and then another 3 -3½ hours in the bus. but the busses are comfortable. What i normally do is book a transfer by taxi from a Hua Hin based taxi company, there are several you can find on the net, but lately i have used www.huahintaxiservice.com simply because the reply fast and have good communication skills in english when i book the trip. as mentioned i have tried others and all seem to have good cars and good drivers, price for one is between 2200 to 2500 thb
If your goal is get the cheapest journey do the following
Airport rail link city line to Lot Krabang (next station) (15 Baht) Take the train to Bangkok (6 Baht) Hualamphong to Hua Hin

Track & Field Opens Indoor Season this Saturday
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Eager for a ninth straight Atlantic Sun Conference indoor track & field title, the Jacksonville University Dolphins are preparing to travel to Winston-Salem, N.C. for the Wake Forest Invitational on Saturday.
Despite time off during the holiday break, Head Coach Ron Grigg said that he believes the team is ready after a strong fall season.
"The fall was excellent. I think that we left the beginning of December in great shape having accomplished everything we wanted to in the fall," Grigg said.
"For most college coaches, this is the most difficult time of the year because the team leaves for three weeks just before you're getting ready to train. So you've spent all fall training and then just before your first competition they go away for upwards of a month and it really is completely in their hands as to how much work they can get done."
The Fins are led by a rather veteran group, Grigg said, including lone senior Svenja Meyer and seven juniors. Coming off a great cross country season in the fall, Meyer led the Dolphins in all five races and earned all-regional recognition at the NCAA South Regional Cross Country Championships and was named to the Atlantic Sun All-Conference First Team after the A-Sun Championships. Joining the Fins this season are five freshmen competing for the first time.
"It's an even distribution; about a quarter of our team will be freshmen. But they're pretty accomplished and two of them were distance runners who have already had a cross country season of collegiate competition with them so they'll be fine. It's really just two freshmen sprint hurdlers who will get their first taste of collegiate competition."
Grigg said the team has high expectations, especially to defend their title.
"We have high expectations, but we don't know what we're actually going to get," Grigg said. "You know we have to have appropriate expectations for the competition on Saturday. It's just a beginning point.
"Our expectations are always the same for the season," continued Grigg. "We're looking to compete for a conference championship. We've had some pretty good success recently, we know what it's going to take, and so it's a process."
The Fins have three regular-season competitions before the A-Sun Championships on Feb. 21 back in Winston-Salem. They compete at the Wake Forest Invitational this Saturday, Jan. 11, at the Jimmy Carnes Invitational in Gainesville on Jan. 17 and round-out at the Samford Invitational in Birmingham, Ala. on Feb. 8.
"With each one of those competitions, each one of our meets, each we're hoping to just take one step closer and be ready for a final product when late February comes around."

The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement has focused a national spotlight on corporate greed and the outrageous wealth of the 1 percent in the United States.
The Chicago Single-Payer Action Network (CHISPAN) is in solidarity with OWS. For decades, those of us who believe health care is a human right, not a commodity, have fought the greedy insurance and pharmaceutical industries. These corporations consistently put profits over patient's health care needs. Have a look at these eye-popping CEO salaries:
John Hammergren, McKesson – $145M
Ronald Williams, Aetna – $57M
H. Edward Hanway, CIGNA – 28.8 M
Bill Weldon, Johnson & Johnson – $28.7M
Daniel Vasella, Novartis – $27M
Miles White, Abbott – $25.6 M
Jeffrey Kindler, Pfizer $24.7M
The insurance giants UnitedHealth, WellPoint, Aetna, CIGNA, and Humana are getting rich in the throes of a deep, economic depression for the 99 percent of us. The combined earnings of those five companies were more than $11.7 billion in 2010, which was 17 percent more than they made in 2009. Since the end of 2008, their earnings have increased 51 percent. The 1 percent of Wall Street shareholders are laughing all the way to the bank, while over 50 million people are uninsured and millions more are underinsured. These businesses make profits by charging exorbitant amounts for coverage, denying health care, and overcharging for medication. They don't care that people suffer or die. A study by the Commonwealth Fund shows that 84,000 people in America die every year because they lack access to health care. In the richest country in the world, that is a crime!
In 2011, the Occupy movement brought protest in to the streets, on to bridges, ports, and parks. Single payer activists have been a part of these protests.
Single-payer activists are no strangers to struggle. The year 2009 saw single payer activists all across the country stage a series of sit-ins at insurance company buildings. In Chicago, members of CHISPAN sat-in at the corporate headquarters of CIGNA. Seven were arrested. Check out the video of the "CIGNA 7."
As long as health care resources are in the control of profit hungry insurance CEOs and stockholders, the medical misery of millions of people will continue.
We want to abolish the private insurance industry once and for all. We are committed to building a movement for health care justice and working with the Occupy movement and raising the demand for a health care system where profit has no place. Join us.

Lately, I have been reading quite a few posts on the importance of owning your name in search. For whatever the reason may be, personal or financial, getting your name out there on the web is the most important factor that decides if you will sink or swim. The first thing you must realize on the web, is the if you build it, they will come mentality will not get you very far, and will seal your fate rather quickly. Unless you have a premium dot com domain with type in traffic, or you are a corporation with money budgeted to engage in online ad campaigns, your only alternative is to start creating organic link relationships and opportunities with search engines, more specifically Google. Search engines are still the number one destination consumers go to for their search and discovery.
I find that in terms of traffic, Google is more social media friendly and relevant in search results compared to other search engines. This brings us to my favorite two words, social media. Social media provides us a multitude of tools to help us achieve search engine ranking zen.
Consider your personal brand an empty baseball field. You should be focused and dedicated into making it a field of dreams. The fans, your audience is the dream.
I'm focusing on personal branding. These tools and methods can be applied to any type of branding or promoting on the web. Results are easier to obtain because your brand or keyword is your name, rather than a consumer brand or product such as Apple, or iPod. Your only competition in search is with people that share the same name as you. If you have a real common name such as John Smith, obviously it will be a little harder, but still very achievable. Consider a study that was just released using Eye Tracking technology to determine search pattern behavior. It reveals that:
Fixations are studded around the top 5 results and the majority of clicks are upon the top 3 results (discounting the sponsored link).
Now more importantly then ever, you must be in the top five search results. It's no longer good enough just being listed anywhere on page one of the search results. Personally, I give more weight to the top results, because usually they are the most relevant sources of information for the desired topic. I will scroll through at least 4-5 pages of results, if I am not satisfied with results from page one. But does your average non informed, non tech savvy surfer scroll past page one? The answer most likely is no.
Chris Brogan touches on the subject of personal branding extensively in a free eBook he just recently compiled and released. This is your starting point, and a required read. Now let's talk about the easiest way to achieve search engine zen with social media.
Passports are simply accounts or profiles on other social networking sites and platforms. Passports gives us shiny badges for our blogs, more importantly they are a key traffic source. Establishing profiles is important because it promotes your brand's url. Almost all social networking sites and tools allow for links to your various social networking profiles.
Considering myself to be an early adopter, I'm often very quick to establish multiple passports on and across the social media platforms. The core objective with all shiny toys, new and old is to establish presence. Profiles all have one thing in common, they link back to that empty baseball field, your brand.
I ran a search query on Google for the keyword Mike Fruchter, and realized I now own the search term. There are 79,800 results for the keyword Mike Fruchter, albeit my last name is not as common as Smith. I can rest assured anyone typing in those keywords will find a link back to michaelfruchter.com, and/or a new point of engagement if need be.
Start with some of the basics first:
- Buy your domain name
- Install a blogging platform such as WordPress
- Establish a FaceBook account
- Establish a FriendFeed account
- Establish a Google Profile
- Establish a photo sharing account, ideally Flickr or Picasa
- Establish a Twitter account
- Tag when applicable
- Establish multiple social bookmarking accounts
Establishing accounts is the easy part. Sure this will get you some search engine exposure, but not nearly the amount you would get from using these services on a daily basis. The minimum upkeep of your profiles can take 5-10 mins of your day. By continually updating your statuses on your services, you are increasing your search rankings and branding relevance. Remember a Twitter profile is indexed by Google, but so are those precious tweets. Same goes with those blog posts, FriendFeed comments, Disqus comments etc. Update a minimum of 3-5 times a week if need be. Tags are powerful for search engine traffic as well. Make sure you tag as much as possible when applicable. While I am on the subject of tagging, it's good practice to tag your blog postings with the subjects name. This is a great way of two way personal branding. I am seeing this used more frequently on blog postings. Here is an example of myself being tagged by Svetlana Gladkova on a posting she wrote titled No Data Portablity? Ok, We'll Use FriendFeed. The positive from this is the obvious search engine listing.
Sign up for any new social media service that comes along. Take your profile and "set it and forget it." Repeat the process several hundred times and you are on the right track to reap the benefits.

"Eighty percent of business we do in three days," said Mel Melchizedek, General Manager of Canton's Quality Inn and Suites.
"That's the same with a lot of the businesses here in town; they are fueled by first Monday," added front desk manager, Liz Atteberry.
It is the last show before the holidays and we thought there would be shoppers shoulder to shoulder trying to get some last minute Christmas gifts. However, several people say the previous First Monday Trade Days that fell earlier this month might have December's beat.
"It wasn't as busy today as it was earlier this month in November," explained shopper Jean Duvall.
Kathy Foster, the General Manager at the Canton Marketplace, said last month's show brought in an estimated 300,000 people.
"We had a waiting list just four or five pages long. People were calling, 'Do you have availability?' We had zero," explained Atteberry.
Many shoppers and vendors book their hotel room months in advance.
Atteberry took a call for a woman wanting to book a room for Canton Trade Days in October 2013.
Cheryl Clower and Vicki Harvey learned that lesson the hard way.
"We've gone to almost Tyler before if you don't book ahead to get a room," Harvey explained.
Day one may have been a little slow, but traffic is expected to pick up.
"We expect around 400,000 since it's the last one before Christmas," Foster said.
With numbers like that, canton can expect another weekend of heavy traffic.
