As soon as the news broke, social media sites were buzzing about the decision. With my eclectic group of Facebook friends, I had some folks praising the measure, some voicing reasonable concerns and others who used the news, like anything else, as another opportunity to bash the President.
I don't consider myself to be a very politically charged person. My take on health care reform, since the beginning of the debate, has been that it's obvious we need it in some way. Does this overhaul provide the answer to our problems? Probably not, but it is a start.
This law, the Affordable Care Act or "Obamacare" as some have called it, does have many positives.
If you have health insurance, proponents of the law say it is designed to only make your coverage more secure and more affordable. I pay insurance premiums on each paycheck, and it is quite a substantial percentage of my pay. I hope those claims turn out to be true.
One area where our family has already benefitted from the law is the fact that insurance companies are required to provide free preventive care, like check-ups and mammograms. Instead of having to fork over a $35 co-pay for each of our 9-month-old Joy's well check-ups, those visits have been covered. Numbers released by Obama on Thursday say 54 million Americans have been helped in similar ways.
Another positive from this law is that insurance companies are supposed to no longer be able to impose lifetime limits on the amount of care a person receives, nor can they discriminate against children with pre-existing conditions or drop coverage if you get sick. Those are all things that should have never been legal in the first place.
Many college-aged folks are excited about the part of the act that allows young adults under the age of 26 to stay on their parent's health care plans.
Obama also touted the law's benefits for senior citizens, saying they will continue to receive a discount on their prescription drugs, which has already saved more than 5 million seniors on Medicare about $600 each.
The law will call on states to set up health exchanges, which will allow people buying coverage individually, as well as small businesses, to shop for private coverage from a range of competing insurers. Only 14 states have set up these exchanges, because many were hoping the law would be repealed. Alabama is already a step ahead, because state lawmakers have set up the Alabama Health Insurance Marketplace, which is scheduled to begin operation in January 2014.
Many who are upset about the law, claim it is the government forcing people to do something. Those are probably the same folks that fuss about seatbelt laws. The positive that comes with mostly everyone having some sort of coverage is that the uninsured will not be driving up costs for everyone else.
There is a long list of reasons why people are against the health care legislation. Most of the negative reactions that I've seen usually start with something negative about our current president, have something completely ridiculous in the middle and then end with something along the lines of Obama must go.
As I said, I'm not a very political person, but the little bit of reading that I've done on this subject has turned up that Obama originally didn't support a mandate on health care, while his opponent in the upcoming election, Mitt Romney did. Obama changed his stance after being elected, and now Romney, who wants to be elected, has changed his mind and is against a mandate. Romney says he will repeal it if elected. Couldn't he change his mind again once he is in office?
The major problem I have with all of this is that people's health shouldn't be used as a pawn on a political chess board. People are dying because they can't afford medical coverage. In the richest country in the world, someone shouldn't have to decide if they have enough money to afford to go to the doctor, but it is a decision that is made every day. I've had to make the very same decision.
If the Affordable Care Act will help save lives, I'm all for it. Does that give me a certain political label? Hopefully it only labels me as a compassionate human being.

Thursday, October 11, 2012FHS boys golf team seeking state berth
State tournament experience will be a plus for the Findlay High boys golf team as the Trojans seek a return trip to Columbus with a top-two finish in today's Division I district meet at the Mohawk Country Club.
Three of Findlay's top five golfers were on last year's team that qualified for state. Those three also turned in the Trojans best rounds in Columbus, with Spencer Shoemaker, a sophomore, carding an 82-79--161, senior Eli Stacy an 83-82--165 and senior Mason McCool an 88-86--174.
Senior Earl Streacker and freshman Trevor St.-Jean round out a Findlay lineup that advanced to the district with a second-place 312. Toledo St. John's won the sectional with a 310. Sylvania Northview (322), Toledo St. Francis (323) and Anthony Wayne (326) also advanced.
Rounding out today's district will be five teams from a sectional at Huron's Thunderbird South Golf Course. Avon Lake and Bowling Green topped that field with 314s, Ashland had a 318, Elyria a 320 and Sandusky Perkins a 323.
The top two teams and top two individuals from nonqualifying teams will advance to next week's Division I state meet at Ohio State.

Triple-digit temperatures are expected to stick around in the Valley through the weekend.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers these heat safety tips:
Drink more fluids (non-alcoholic), regardless of your activity level. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink. Warning: If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you drink or has you on water pills, ask him how much you should drink while the weather is hot.
Don't drink liquids that contain alcohol or large amounts of sugar–these actually cause you to lose more body fluid. Also, avoid very cold drinks, because they can cause stomach cramps.
Stay indoors and, if at all possible, stay in an air-conditioned place. If your home does not have air conditioning, go to the shopping mall or public library–even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help your body stay cooler when you go back into the heat. Call your local health department to see if there are any heat-relief shelters in your area.
Electric fans may provide comfort, but when the temperature is in the high 90s, fans will not prevent heat-related illness. Taking a cool shower or bath, or moving to an air-conditioned place is a much better way to cool off.
Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing.
NEVER leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle.
Although any one at any time can suffer from heat-related illness, some people are at greater risk than others. Check regularly on:
-- Infants and young children-- People aged 65 or older-- People who have a mental illness-- Those who are physically ill, especially with heart disease or high blood pressure
Visit adults at risk at least twice a day and closely watch them for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Infants and young children, of course, need much more frequent watching.
If you must be out in the heat:
Cut down on exercise. If you must exercise, drink two to four glasses of cool, nonalcoholic fluids each hour. A sports beverage can replace the salt and minerals you lose in sweat. Warning: If you are on a low-salt diet, talk with your doctor before drinking a sports beverage. Remember the warning in the first "tip" (above), too.
Try to rest often in shady areas.
Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat (also keeps you cooler) and sunglasses and by putting on sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher (the most effective products say "broad spectrum" or "UVA/UVB protection" on their labels).

FORT WORTH -- Texas Motor Speedway has a warning on its website, telling race fans if they try to take 114 from Dallas to get to Sunday's NASCAR race, they'll be late.
Police also say it's the one highway to avoid.
"If you aren't coming to the race you should avoid 114, too," said Fort Worth Police Lt. Glen Edney. "When we are in contra-flow mode, we will divert you in here, even if you don't want to come in."
Police also applaud TxDOT's policy of writing into contracts that race weekends are blacked out for major projects near the speedway. Crews can work, but cannot shut down lanes, or do anything that will interfere with traffic in main lanes.
"That helps us out tremendously," Edney said.
Texas Motor Speedway's Friday night truck race was the fastest in history.

Songbird Project Drops Linux Support
Songbird considers itself an iTunes alternative and while the project has had some success in that regard, not so much under Linux.
The team behind the Songbird music management program has decided to drop Linux support. The reason for the rather abrupt turnaround for the open source project is that Songbird has primarily satisfied Windows users, which has pushed Linux version development onto the back burner. The new version also provides video support, again with mostly a Windows focus. According to the Songbird team's announcement, 78% are active Windows users, with Linux and Mac OS users only at about 10% each.
The project now wants to concentrate more on Windows and Mac OS development. Thanks to an agreement with Philips, the software will be preinstalled on GoGear MP3 players. Fortunately, Linux support has not been written off entirely. Nightly Linux builds will continue to occur along with releases for packaging. Although Songbird claims to "remain loyal to Linux and the ideology it represents," this move seems to be counter to uniform functionality.
Songbird Project drops Linux supportIf Songbird was any good under Linux, guaranteed they'd get more than 10% user base support. Personally, I didn't think it was much chop.

BOSTON - Amesbury High School graduate Remy Lawler lies in a Boston hospital recovering from surgery performed yesterday to remove a piece of shrapnel from her right thigh.
Lawler was one of more than 100 people injured yesterday when two bombs went off in quick succession near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Three people were also killed in what appears to be a coordinated attempted to maim as many runners and spectators as possible.
"She's OK, she had the operation," her father, Arthur Lawler of Amesbury, said earlier today. The 25-year-old Lesley University student was among the thousands in the crowd cheering on runners as they crossed the finish line.
Remy Lawler and her two roommates were there to support fellow AHS graduate and runner Erin Hurley, when the bombs went off. After the explosions, she was taken to Faulkner Hospital in Boston. Her two roommates were taken to Massachusetts General Hosptial and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center both in Boston.
Hurley was also reported to be injured in the attack, but Lawler did not know where she was taken or how seriously she was hurt. Remy's father, who was about to head back to the hospital to join his wife who spent the night with their daughter, said Remy called her mother shortly after the attack and left a message saying she was hurt. During the phone call, EMTs were heard comforting her. "EMT's telling her she's OK, she's not going to lose her leg," Arthur Lawler said. The Lawlers were outside conducting yard work when their daughter was injured. A neighbor informed them of the explosion prompting Remy's mother to check her phone. Arthur Lawler said her daughter would likely be in the hospital for another two or three days and may require additional surgery but for the most part, he acknowledged she was luckier than many of those injured. "The terrorists don't care, they're just sending a message that they are there. It's an ideal setting for a terrorist attack. My daughter has been traumatized, she's angry, but she's a survivor. She just hopes they find the people responsible," Arthur Lawler said.

Driving is definitely economical .. but depending on how your kids do in the car, I would suggest leaving the Bay Area later in the afternoon. The main advantage is (specially with the younger kids) - they are excited about going and hence the first three hours or so are easy. After the dinner break, they tend to sleep in the car for the rest of the journey.
Do not get caught in the commute traffic in Los Angeles areas .. its a nightmare.
We have rented suites along the main street (forget its name). Never stayed in the Disney hotels, partly because we couldn't really afford them after the actual Disney expense. The suites have worked out good - since it gives a chance to cook/eat a good breakfast and dinner at home. I always thought the junk food in Disney is way too more expensive ..

You can get access to the park early if you stay at a Disney Hotel. I think the food options in California Adventure are better than Disneyland, but the rides are better in Disneyland. Take advantage of those line cutting tickets, I forgot their name. You can get one for the longer lines, go ride a short line ride, or eat a meal, come back and cut most of the line.
Try to go before July 4th. The worst crowds are between July 4th and Labor Day. At least they were when I worked there, a long time ago.
Have fun.

Well, I survived my solo 20 miler in Montclair on Saturday. I felt relatively good and kept a decent pace despite hillier terrain miles 9.5-15. I started out around 8:00 pace and dropped it down to 7:20-7:25 pace for the last 6 miles.
I felt a mixture of awe and nonchalance staring at the '20.00' on my Garmin once I stopped. "Whoa, I ran for 2 hours and 35 minutes totally self-motivated! And really didn't want to die or stop at any point!" coupled with "Whatever, 20 miles, just another long run, done this by myself before." I'm happy I'm getting to the level of fitness where 20 miles feels like no big thing. But at the same time I always seem to surprise myself a bit. Know what I mean?
Lucky for me, I suppose I front loaded my mileage a bit and ended up hitting 60 miles in 5 days of running. This was fantastic news when I woke up Sunday with a huge hangover from going out on Saturday night and couldn't bear the thought of leaving my bed. So I didn't. Nice non-planning, Lindsay.
As always, you can check out my training log doc here.
Okay. I have put off posting about this because it is one of my absolute least favorite topics but I'm pretty intrigued by the results so figured I'd share.
So, I have an extreme aversion to blood, needles, veins and the like and thus absolutely hate getting blood drawn. I have Valium prescribed so I don't hyperventilate and pass out, and apply a topical anesthetic cream to numb the skin, but I still hyperventilate and cry and act like a 5 year old.
Nevertheless, after being anemic my junior year of college (with the way-too-low ferritin level of 8), I've tried to face my fears and get a comprehensive blood panel yearly or every other year to check iron levels & indicators and just make sure everything is running properly. I'd strongly advocate all runners do this even if you're feeling good, to have a baseline to compare when you start to feel bad. I would also strongly recommend getting a doctor who will sit down and go through your results in depth with you. I have a great one here in NYC if you need a referral!
As runners, I feel like we're pretty in-tune with our bodies but it's hard to listen sometimes. Well of course I'm tired and lacking energy; I'm running 60+ miles a week, working a full time job, traveling, and squeezing in sleep and fun somewhere between it all. Is this just the way you should feel, or is something really wrong? My last test was in early March 2011 as I trained for the NYC half and started feeling pretty awful. My results came back just fine and a few days later, I had a kickass workout and a few weeks later, ran a new PR of 1:24 in the half. Shows how much I know.
This year my ferritin was 22 (down from 34 last year), my hemoglobin was 12.8 (down from 13.3), hematocrit at 39 (consistent with 40.1), and red blood cells were 4.16 (down from 4.3).
All of these levels were within the low end of the normal range, but I don't need a medical degree to think that 'normal' differs for marathoner vs. sedentary individual. They should make 'athlete' ranges
My levels tend to skew a bit on the low side compared to other runners, and though training is going pretty darn well I'm probably going to be a bit more consistent about supplementing with liquid iron (taken with Vitamin C to aid absorption). Can't hurt, ya know?
Ever surprise yourself with getting through a run you thought was going to be awful? Ever experience low iron or symptoms of anemia?

Release Date: 2003 |
This is a solid compilation of the band in their prime, even if its missing some good ones. Working Man is awesome and one one of their best hard rock songs. I think you underrated Fly By Night (no s). Its a pretty good song. Same with Subdivisions.
pretty good review for a first.Digging: Spoon - They Want My Soul
Digging: Spoon - They Want My Soul
Album Rating: 3.5You certainly underrated Freewill, which is probably my all time fav Rush song sans-"epics". Good review.
Other than Styx's Greatest Hits, this is probably the best one I've ever heard, and one of the few worth getting. It truly has some great songs (The Trees, 2112, Freewill, Tom Sawyer), although they shoulda stuck YYZ on here. I remember that somehow got radio play back in the early 80's.
The Temples Of Syrinx sums this one up.
2112 is an amazing song. good review.
Album Rating: 2.0I got this CD after hearing 2112.
I want my money back.
Album Rating: 3.5^^ Communists don't own paper money.
Album Rating: 2.0Of course not, we trade our rotten communist potatoes for your fine American hard discs.
Pretty good first review by the way.

^^^^ I had to lawlz at that.
This seems like a pretty good collection, maybe I should pick this up.This Message Edited On 06.29.06
^^ Communists don't own paper money.
I have this album. It gets kind of boring once you get into the last 1/3 of the songs, which (not coincidentally) are Rush songs that don't get a lot of airplay. I guess they moved past the "classic" era and got a little too synthy, too cheesy for most people's tastes (including mine).
Album Rating: 3.5Subdivisions is still one of the best Rush songs, and it comes from the synth era. Although yeah, they were at their peak 76-81.
[QUOTE=VagueDan]I got this CD after hearing 2112.
I want my money back.[/QUOTE]
Why did you buy it then, moron?
Album Rating: 2.0Why did you buy it then, moron?
Calm down man, it's an opinion. I bought it when I was in 6th grade, at the height of my Classic Rock phase and on the strength of that one song and the praise I kept on hearing for Rush. People buy albums they don't like, it happens, no reason to start calling names.
This Message Edited On 07.01.06
Why did you buy it then, moron?
I'm not sure how you can't give Working Man a 10, but whatever. Fine review.
Album Rating: 2.5I don't like Rush. Despite seeing them live.
I like Rush. Pretty fly mofos.
ok, as i see this is a first review, my opinion has changed a bit. it was a pretty good review, a bit average in my opinion, i suggest that you make you track by track have a bit more info about the song, and seperately how everything sounded in it, maybe a bit about the progression. maybe add a little more to your intro/outtro but for the most part, it's pretty OK
my biggest suggestion is PROOFREAD! i found a few grammatical and spelling mistakes. and easy way to prevent this is to write your review on a word processor. for the most part, i see a good future for your reviews
Album Rating: 4.5this is the "hits" album that I was thinking about buying. Is this a good start if someones wanting to get into Rush, or should I go for a different album?
Album Rating: 4.5just buy albums :D
Album Rating: 5.0Personally, I love Subdivisions and Force Ten. They are up there in the favourites list of mine. I wish that you would give them another chance. Rush is definitely underrated. BIGTIME.
Anyways, great review.

text: Merco seemed to be a crash fest, and i guess that's to be expected with left hand turns and a chicane. But what was most surprising, was the officials making folks chase to get back on after their free lap. The free lap is not really free, especially if you were involved in a crash and not a mechanical. But it didn't seem fair to have to chase a pack that's going 27 - 30 mph and you're starting from 0 mph. If the road was too narrow or too near the turn, why not move the neutral area back before the start/finish so riders could start picking up speed and at least get up to 15-20mph as the pack goes by to attempt to rejoin. I saw many riders held until the field was 10 meters up the road, before the official let go of the bike and the rider's in many instances were not successful in reattaching to the peleton. That didn't seem fair. What's up?

A four year old in West is planning a fundraiser to help rebuild the city park.
Parker Pustejovsky brought up the idea to hold a fundraiser selling hot dogs. Parker wants to follow in his fathers footsteps, Joey Pustejovsky, a West Volunteer firefighter who died in the explosion. The idea came around during Memorial Day Weekend when Parker told his grandparents, Joe and Carolyn Pustejovsky about his plan.
"He comes up to us and says,'GG, I have a project that I'm going to do.' And she asks, 'what's the plan parker?'", Joe said. "And he said, 'I'm going to raise money to build the city park.'"
The city park was destroyed by the April 17th West Fertilizer Co. explosion. Now it's just an open field with a teeter-totter and some swings.
"We just looked at each other in aw and Carolyn said, 'What are you going to do for the project?''' said Joe.
And Parker came up with the idea to sell hot dogs. They call it Parker's Park Project and word spread. In fact, it went viral: on Facebook, over a thousand likes and web page hits from around the world.
"He said he's really excited about it and there are some very good things that are going to happen from this and we are looking forward to do it," Joe said.
Parker's grandparents say he always looked up to his dad, Joey, who was known for volunteering around West.
"He always attempted to help with different projects around the city and the community," Joe said. "He would do Toys For Tots, Fill The Boot or any projects the fire department had."
Now, his grandparents couldn't be more proud about Parker's decision to help.
"I think that's the morale that his dad taught him. And Joey always says service comes from the heart." said Carolyn. "I think that's where he's getting it and I'm very proud that he's doing that."
Come this weekend, Parker will be busy fundraising for the city park.
"Parker will be selling hot dogs. He will be cooking them and putting them in the buns, that's his orders," said Carolyn.
The fundraiser will be this Saturday from 10am to 2pm by the city hall gazebo in downtown West. A silent auction will be held and of course, hot dogs.

The Emergency Services all came charging to the rescue in no time at all - and then they all went straight past to deal with the field I'd set on fire just up the way!
Had to wait all night for the buggers to come back and get me in the morning!..."
That would be a great story if it were the case!
No doubt the BWT have got their crack team on it.

A Sound Recorder records and reproduces any audible noise, including voice, using many different types of audio equipment. Besides equipment, learned techniques are also used to record, manipulate and enhance sound. Sound engineer, recording engineer, acoustical engineer and audio engineer are other names used to describe the Sound Recorder. While there are slight differences between these distinctions, they do essentially the same functions and as a Sound Recorder.
Audio engineers use equipment for the recording, mixing and reproduction of sound as well as being knowledgeable in the use of analog tape, digital multi-track recorders and understanding how to transfer analog sound to a digital format.
Using software and hardware specifically designed for audio recording, the Audio Engineer synchronizes and improves audio recording for a number of applications like movies, computer and console games and videos.
Using various techniques, a Sound Recorder will perform a wide range of tasks like noise control, acoustical design, and sound level setting. Depending on their project role, an audio recording engineer will be called upon to perform tasks on any level, from the basics of microphone placement to the more advanced aspects of sound waves and sound wave integration.
Translating analog to digital sound and synchronizing sounds to visual media is also an important aspect of the work of an Audio Engineer. In the studio, an audio engineer is responsible for not only recording but also editing, mixing and mastering the sound recording. They must also be familiar with design, installation and operation of equipment for sound recording, reinforcement and broadcasting.
Although they should be educated in the overall process of recording, typically an audio engineer will specialize in one or two steps in the total sound recording process. The four steps involved in the production of a recording are: recording, editing, mixing, and mastering.
There are many career paths in Sound Recording, including the Studio Engineer, who works within a studio facility, and can work with a producer or on their own; the Recording Engineer, who specializes in only the recording of sound; the Assistant Engineer, which is an entry level or training position in larger studios and usually assists full-time engineers with microphone setups and sometimes rough mixes; the Mixing Engineer, who creates mixes of multi-track recordings (often a commercial record is recorded at one studio and later mixed by different engineers in other studios); Mastering Engineer who makes any final adjustments to the overall sound of the record before commercial duplication; Game Audio Designer/Engineer who deals with all sounds included in game development; and the Audio Post Engineer - a person who edits audio for film and/or television.

If you are thinking about becoming a Sound Recorder, it would be beneficial if you have an interest in music, sound, creative arts, broadcasting, or electronics. An audio recording engineer should also have the ability to operate complex equipment, to listen to complex sounds and distinguish individual components, and to have effective communication skills.
While traditional education is not required for many positions in the field, colleges and accredited institutions around the world offer degrees for the sound recording field, such as a Bachelor of Science in Audio Production. The University of Miami was the first university in the United States to offer a four-year Bachelors degree in Engineering Technology. Experience also plays a big role in the sound recording field, and being mentored by others in the field can have a great influence on your career.
Audio engineers can work in a variety of settings, depending upon whether they work for a large studio or are self-employed. Often they work with other creative individuals in a collaborative work environment. Flexibility, a positive attitude, reliability and a willingness to learn are essential when working on a film or game. With the increased use of computers and software designed to manipulate audio feeds, Sound Recording is becoming more and more mobile and large amounts of time are not required in a studio, but a thorough knowledge of the trade is required. There are typically long hours, sometimes all night, in sessions in the studio. Sometimes these sessions take place away from home, in other parts of the world.

Four years ago, Bryton Entertainment -based in Augusta- produced a documentary about the Tuskegee Airmen (In Their Own Words: The Tuskegee Airmen). It caught the attention of Bill Cosby, George Lucas-- even Walmart!
But before there were any Tuskegee Airmen, there was C. Alfred Anderson-- the chief trainer of the famed airmen. His life and legacy will be immortalized in the National Aviation Hall of Fame.
WJBF's Jennie Montgomery has the story.
Christina Anderson remembers flying with her grandfather when she was just 5 years old.
But long before that flight, Chief Anderson made history when First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt visited Tuskegee, AL in 1941... and asked him for a ride. Their 40-minute flight together led to the training of the first African American military pilots.
Though Chief fully understood his place in history, Christina says he didn't talk much about it. That's one reason she began the quest to learn more about him.
"He really did not talk a lot about his life training the airmen and that's what brought me to this journey, really finding out so much about what he did. He was just Grandpa to me."
Last year, Christina founded the C. Alfred "Chief" Anderson Legacy Foundation, with a mission to expose young people to careers in aviation.
She enlisted the help of Augusta film makers, Bryan Williams and Denton Adkinson. They're producing a new documentary called "The Chief: A Granddaughter's Journey Through His-story."
"We found, going through some of the research, we found letters some of the Tuskegee Airmen had written to him when they first got overseas. And just coming off doing the Tuskegee Airmen documentary, you look at them like they're just larger than life and super heroes - but they were kids when he met them, kids when he trained them. And the fact that they had such love and such respect for him, and they were writing him about, oh my goodness, 'we had our first dog fight in Italy today'- and 'we were so nervous' - 'thank you for your training!'
And this Friday Christina will see her grandfather enshrined in the National Aviation Hall of Fame.
"In this country, this is the highest award an aviator can get. And so, we are completely over the moon about it and looking forward to meeting Col. Guion Bluford."
Col. Bluford was the first African American NASA astronaut in space. He will be presenting the award to Christina, no doubt honored to shake hands with the granddaughter of the man known as the "Father of Black Aviation."
"It just gives me such a warm feeling every time I meet Tuskegee Airmen that just want to hold my hand and say, 'Oh, I loved your grandfather!' I've really loved talking to people and doing the interviews."
The Enshrinement Ceremony will take place Friday in Dayton, Ohio. To learn more about the C. Alfred "Chief" Anderson Legacy Foundation, click here.

Starting today, rural homeowners will begin receiving bills of up to $150 to cover the wildlands fire prevention services offered by the state in their neighborhoods.
This controversial fee has faced constant opposition from the beginning. In justifying the fee, state fire officials point to the increase in the number of homes in rural areas, which they say drives up the cost of fighting fires in those areas.
Fire officials contend the fee is a byproduct of living in a wildland area that is more susceptible to wildfires, which are often a result of natural causes such as lightning strikes. The affected areas are known as state responsibility areas, or SRAs, and span 31 million acres in California.
The State Board of Equalization has identified 825,488 fee payers statewide, including 51,897 in El Dorado County; 57,549 in Placer County; 1,199 in Sacramento County; and 644 in Yolo County. The bills will be mailed alphabetically by county name, starting with Alameda County.
Enacted in July 2011, the fee is applied at a rate of $150 per habitable structure, which the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection is defining as "a building that can be occupied for residential use."
People who owned the properties on July 1, 2011, are responsible for paying the fee, regardless of whether they still live there.
Homeowners who already pay for fire protection from their local fire district will receive a $35 reduction, bringing the fee to $115 per habitable structure. State fire officials estimate that 95 percent qualify for the reduction.
"Fire protection in California is a very complicated but integrated system," said Daniel Berlant, spokesman for Cal Fire. "The state is responsible for helping with wildfires even where there is a local fire district."
Berlant said wildfires are one of the state's most costly natural disasters. They cost the state $130 million in the last fiscal year.
In an attempt to lower this cost, which went as high as $500 million in 2008, Cal Fire said money collected from the fee will be used to "fund a variety of important fire-prevention services within the SRA including brush clearance and activities to improve forest health so the forest can better withstand wildfire."
Cal Fire has a website, firepreventionfee.org, where homeowners can check an address to see if it is within SRA boundaries.
Critics say the fee was illegally enacted because it is a tax. As such, according to the state constitution, it should have received a two-thirds vote in both the Assembly and Senate rather than a majority to pass.
"The people who are paying this fee have no direct benefit," said George Runner, member of the Board of Equalization.
"There are no new services that are going to exist because of this."
Runner has started his own website, calfirefee.com, to provide fee payers with "the latest news about California's illegal tax," as the site's headline reads.
The site provides visitors with information on how to appeal the fee and encourages them to speak out by contacting state officials, including Gov. Jerry Brown.
Despite his opposition to the fee, however, Runner said that everyone who receives a bill should pay it immediately.
"We're advising that you go ahead and pay the bill properly, otherwise you're going to get hit with penalties and interest," Runner said. "The bill needs to be paid, protested, and denied before moving forward to a lawsuit."
Runner said the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association is getting ready to work with fee payers in the first few counties to receive bills.
"Homeowners aren't the ones that start the fires. They're actually the best defense against fires out in (rural) areas and yet we're holding them responsible," he said. "This whole thing is no different to me than us deciding that we're going to do a crime-prevention fee in an area that has high crime."
Homeowners can visit firepreventionfee.org to view a sample bill and obtain a petition for redetermination.
A partial mailing schedule for this first round of bills can be found on the Board of Equalization website.

Scalene Greenergy Corporation Launches Micro and Mini Organic Natural Gas Plant
BANGALORE, FEBRUARY 07: Scalene Greenergy Corporation Limited (SGCL), a leader in innovative technologies in Biotechnology, oil and gas and environmental sciences, has launched micro and mini SERIGASTM organic natural gas plants today. Based on the technology of Microbial Incubated Bio Reaction system (MIBR), these micro and mini SERIGASTM gas plants are designed to produce natural gas from 3 kilograms to 4000 kilograms of feed per day.
Mr. KL Dhingra, chairman and Managing Director of ITI Limited, Bangalore, launched the SERIGASTM plants along with Dr. AR Shukla, Advisor, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India and Dr. Rajah Vijay Kumar, Group Chairman, Organization de Scalene. A host of other dignitaries including, Mr. Murali Kasi, Executive Director of SGCL, Mr. PA Backer, Managing Director of SCGL, Mrs. Rajani Vijay Kumar, Executive Director, Scalene Cybernetics Limited and other industry leaders witnessed the event.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. AR Shukla, Advisor, MNRE (Ministry of Nonconventional & Renewable Energy) opined, "This technology will be one of the landmark contributions to the households and industries since it is of use to both lower capacity household and as well as in higher capacity industrial purposes such as cooling and refrigeration, pumps, vehicular applications and power generation. SERIGASTM comes at a time when there is acute shortage of energy and is a boon to households and industries."
SERI organic fuel technology, a proprietary technology, is the first of its kind in the world that has been the result of over 8 years of research and development at Scalene Energy Research Institute (SERI). It has been designed to process any organic feed stock including food waste, kitchen waste, vegetable wastes, agricultural wastes, municipal solid wastes, slaughter house wastes, fish waste, poultry waste, water weeds such as water hyacinth, water lettuce and used news paper.
In the view of recent quest for alternate and clean energy sources, SERIGASTM comes as a significant step in alleviating the need for energy. Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Rajah Vijay Kumar, Group Chairman, Organization de Scalene said, "It is a proud moment for us today. We believe that SERIGASTM will change the production and consumption of energy, at the time when the entire world is facing a severe energy crunch."
SERI organic fuel technology is a multi stage, variable HRT, Microbial Incubated Bio Reaction (MIBR) system. The process aids in production of highly purified combustible gas in quantities 30 -60% higher than any currently used technologies. The design of the unit is fully modular with scope for expansion. SERIGAS has the efficiency of LPG and safety of firewood when used in cooking. Power can be produced even with the lowest capacity SERIGASTM plants with an optional small generator.
Highlights/Features of SERIGASTM Plants:
* A revolution in bio-methanization technology.
* Organic Natural Gas can be produced from any organic waste matter.
* Cost of gas production is significantly cheaper compared to conventional technologies.
* SERIGAS can be used for cooking, in automobiles or can be used to generate electricity.
* Can be installed quickly and easily at a low cost.
* Byproducts include NPK rich organic fertilizers and organic pest repellant.
* Plant is compact and does not require much space.
* No civil work required for plants up to 300kg/day capacity and minimal civil work required for plants above 300 kg /day capacity.
* Plant operation is fully automatic.
* SERIGAS can be connected to existing/modified LPG stoves/cook tops.
* No carbon emissions. Carbon dioxide produced is reused in the system.
* Can avail carbon credits under UNFCC CDM Mechanism
* Extremely low hydrogen sulphide in SERIGASTM.
* Highly modular and can be expanded easily.
Uses/Advantages of SERIGASTM:
* Reduces waste management efforts and costs for customers and authorities.
* SERIGASTM is refined and purified to CNG standards.
* A replacement fuel for LPG, Diesel, Furnace oil, LDO and wood.
* SERIGASTM can be used in D.G.Sets and Boilers, in Thermic fluid heating, and for domestic and industrial cooking purposes.
* Carbon emissions are minimal compared to any other fuel.
* Highly economical and easy and safe to handle.
* Support from MNRE for gas bottling and electricity production.

Hi all,
As far as I know gsm world is going to android operating system.
Nokia used and supported SYMBIAN operating system in their phones so far..
1) As of today can we say android is more preferreble to symbian ?
2) if everybody runs to android what is NOKIAs strategy for its new product telephones ?
3) What are the top advantages of android to symbian ?
Thanks in advance for the answers ....

I am using both Symbian and Android so I guess I can answer these well enough.
1. Most people are simply preferring Android because it looks good. (It does). However, when we go down to basics, Nokia phones have better hardware components (GPS chips, radios, music chips, durability, etc). Also, people have the impression that Nokia OS sucks and Android does not. Actually, the only problem I see why Android has become more preferable because in its current situation, Symbian is more micromanaging and less "idiot friendly" (if you'd forgive the term) than Android. The learning curve for Symbian is pretty steep.
2. Nokia will be releasing WP7 phones as their flagships starting next year.
3. Pros and Cons:
Android Pros:
-lots of apps and widgets. Very highly customizable to look and feel the way you want it to.
-The UI is fluid and quite obvious.
-the OS is basically a platform with each application sandboxed from each other. When an app crashes, the phone does not necessarily crash unless you are using a very resource intensive app like a PSX emulator. You can force close the crashed app (like the end task option in Windows Task Manager).
Android Cons:
-No proper task switching or managing. It only keeps a certain number of apps running and closes apps automatically when you are reaching full RAM usage. This may be nice in theory since you dont get the memory full message, but you have no control about which app it closes. Sometimes its very annoying when it closes the app you actually need to be running at the time. It does cache the app to start again from where it last was, but it doesnt happen to all apps and sometimes having to go through loading processes again is annoying. Symbian allows more control on what apps get closed and what are left running.
-Its more prone to malware and spyware due to its high level of being open source. Unlike Symbian which has certificate management, Android does not, so its best to have an Antivirus on it. Malware even found their way into Android Market
-Fragmentation. There are so many different droids with differing chipsets and hardware that not all apps would work the same way on one droid as on another. For example, Falling Fred for Android works well on a Galaxy S, but on an HTC Evo, there are some lags, despite the Evo having way better hardware than the SGS.
-Has practically no advantages to Symbian when you will be using it offline apart from games. Yes the apps you will use are different and may feel better on Android, but in terms of practicality, almost anything you can do on Android you can do on Symbian if both are offline. Android only wins big if you have a data plan to make use of its full potential (or maybe wifi everywhere you go?)
- Connectivity limitations. Android cannot create or connect to adhoc networks (unless you root it). Also their PC connectivity solutions/software are absolutely awful (or if they work good, they are worse in terms of functionality and capability than Ovi Suite, let alone PC Suite).
Symbian Pros:
- Proper multitasking control. As said before, you control what gets closed and what stays open
- Proper PC integration. We all know how bad Ovi Suite is compared to PC Suite, but nothing Android has can even compare to Ovi Suite in terms of functionality.
- Symbian phones generally have better hardware components. Speaking for Nokia vs Samsung alone, the GPS antenna, AGPS computations, 2g/3g radios, wifi receivers and transmitters, audio quality, durability feel and quality, of Nokia phones are superb compared to almost any Android phone in the market today.
- Ovi Maps - still better than anything Android can throw. I cant use Google Navigation in my country, but the rest all fail in comparison. Android doesnt even natively support the use of bluetooth GPS devices, you need to buy/download a Mapping System that does. Also, my 5800 running on Integrated GPS alone can get a more accurate fix than my SGSL on integrated GPS. It takes the same time for both to get a full fix too. If I use AGPS on the Nokia, it gets fix in 2seconds. Samsung Fail yes (bad GPS antenna), but partly Android too due to bad AGPS data calculation scripting.
Symbian Cons:
- App developers are leaving, so you have less apps and games to choose from. These is what is now starting to give Android more functionality than symbian. There's usually an app for whatever you may want to do.
- When an app crashes, the whole OS can crash, depending on the app, especially if its an integrated app.
- While many people customize Symbian (regional devs, operator devs), Symbian editing often causes problems, while Android is made to be customizable, reducing probable software errors which may ruin the phone up by devs and operators.
There are a few other things I cant think of right now, but as I said, I currently use 2 phones for 2 networks, and one is a Droid and the other Symbian, allowing me to enjoy the advantages of both OS and the ability to ignore the deficiencies of one by using the other for that purpose.

The SGS2 camera is pretty special TBH
The big con of symbian from a user perspective is thet it's very juttery / laggy, android everything feals instant, symbian you often have to wait for a moment whilst the phone catches up
Functionality, Symbian you can do more and set up more out of the box, Android you ahve to download extra apps,
TBH Keis is almost on a par with OVI Suite in terms of functionality, tho lack of Bluetooth support is criminal, but then again you don't loose half your screen to application adverts
As mentioned there is a lack of developer support, everywhere today has an ios and android app, few are developing for symbian anymore, a problem that will only increase now the plug has been pulled on the os

Chanchan . Very useful answer . Thanks. +1.
Despite everybody is running to android nowadays, I think there are still disadvantages of using both OSs......
Maybe, until the next year 2 OSs will be clearer for us to make right decision.....

C7 and c6-01 are actually cheaper than SGS. SGS is almost twice as much as a C6-01 (priced same as Galaxy Ace), while C7 is priced same as SGSL (my phone). My caveat against C7 is its not autofocus (I need it for pictures of text), but SGSL has no flash. There's no such thing as a perfect phone really. In Android forums we're already having reports of SGS2 random restarts. Guess the grass aint really greener on the other side aint it.

Next year, Symbian will be closer to the grave.
I was under the impression that Symbian will continue to be installed on future Nokia phones;it's just that all the high-end phones will be running on WP7. If this is true,than it should be interesting to see if it's ^3 that will live on.

Wyoming county authorities bust up a weekend cock-fight.
Sheriff Randall Aliff says they received a tip that the fight was taking place last Sunday at a home in the Indian Creek area of the county.
20 citations were issued on the charge of attending a cock fight. The home owner was also cited.
Sheriff Aliff says this was an apparent weekly activity at the residence.
Investigators confiscated the spurs used to put on the roosters.
The incident is still under investigation and additional charges are pending.
