Health Insurance When Changing Jobs
Locate a Local Finance Lawyer
What Is HIPAA?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) was enacted to reform healthcare in America. The HIPAA legislation had several objectives:
- Protect health insurance coverage for working Americans who have pre-existing medical conditions when they change or lose their jobs
- Reduce healthcare fraud and abuse
- Enforce standards for health information
- Guarantee security and privacy of health information
What Is a Pre-existing Medical Condition?
A pre-existing medical condition is a condition for which you received medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment prior to enrolling in a new health plan. Cancer is an all-too common example of a pre-existing condition. Before HIPAA, your new employer's health plan would probably refuse to cover the cancer treatment for several years, if at all, if you had been treated for the cancer prior to your enrollment.
How Does HIPAA Protect American Workers?
HIPAA protects working Americans who are seeking to switch into a new group health plan, as when changing jobs. First, health insurers cannot deny you coverage or charge you more for your coverage because of your health status.
Second, HIPAA limits pre-existing medical conditions to a condition for which you received medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment 6 months prior to enrolling in a new health plan. A condition that has not received medical attention in the last 6 months is not pre-existing, and a group health plan cannot exclude the condition from your coverage.
What if I Do Have a Pre-Existing Medical Condition?
If you do have a pre-existing medical condition (treated in the last 6 months), your new group health plan can only exclude the condition from your coverage for a maximum of 12 months.
Moreover, the new insurance company must give you credit for continuous health coverage that you had prior to enrolling in the new plan. Therefore, if you had 4 months of continuous coverage before switching health plans, the new health plan can only exclude your condition for a maximum of 8 months. If you have 12 months of continuous coverage before switching health plans, the new health plan cannot exclude your condition from coverage at all.
Anything shorter than a 63-day break in health coverage qualifies as ¿continuous coverage.¿ Individual insurance plans, Medicare and Medicaid generally qualify as creditable insurance coverage.
Are There Any Limitations to HIPAA Protections?
Your protections under the HIPAA laws will be limited if there is more than a 63-day break in your health coverage. Additionally, HIPAA offers the most protection to individuals switching into a group health plan. Those individuals who are switching from a group health plan to individual insurance only have very limited protections under HIPAA. For more information, see HIPAA Protection For Individual Health Plans. HIPAA does not protect anyone switching between individual insurance plans.
What Can I Do to Ensure that My Rights Are Protected under HIPAA?
Whenever you leave any health plan, make sure that you get a "certificate of creditable coverage" in writing. Your certificate should include:
- Your coverage dates
- Your policy ID number
- The insurer's name and address
- Any family members included under your coverage
Do I Need a Lawyer to Help Me with My HIPAA Problem?
Interpreting the HIPAA laws can be complicated. An experienced health insurance attorney can help you understand your rights under the HIPAA laws. If you believe your health insurance company is acting in bad faith and improperly denying you coverage, an attorney will know all the ins-and-outs of taking on a big health insurance company.

Genocide survivors among first artists announced for WOMAD
Updated 4:02pm Thursday 27th February 2014 in News
A BAND whose members survived the Rwandan genocide feature in the line-up for this summer's WOMAD festival at Malmesbury.
The Good Ones, who were formed with just one battered guitar between two players, are appearing on the Charlton Park bill alongside world music performers from as far and wide as Cuba, the Antipodes, Norway, the Balkans and the African continent.
Soul singer Alice Russell from the UK, dub outfit Fat Freddy's Drop from New Zealand, Goran Bregovic's Wedding and Funeral Orchestra and Zimbabwean musical elder statesman Oliver Mtukudzi and The Black Spirits have all been confirmed.
Former Carolina Chocolate Drops singer Dom Flemons has teamed up with folk and blues guitarist Martin Simpson for the festival, which also includes performances from Iranian singing sisters Mahsa and Marjan Vahdat, modern calypso from Kobo Town of Trinidad and the Magic Drum Orchestra from the UK.
The festival runs from July 24 and tickets are available online at womad.co.uk

In addition to condemning IFCO for its support of Viva Palestina, the IRS has also attacked our years of solidarity work with Cuba. In both instances our legal advisor eloquently described work we have historically done to advance the struggles of oppressed people for justice and self-determination. The projects we support and operate have faithfully furthered our mission and our organization's tax-exempt purpose, as it was originally described.
August 14, 2012
Cholera has broken out in the internally displaced persons camps growing again in eastern Congo, as Congolese people flee the war which, with backing from the Kagame regime in Kigali, Rwanda, resumed in April. The cholera outbreak has sparked fears of an epidemic. Now drenching rain is adding to the refugees' misery. U.S. Special Forces are in the region, but not to hunt for Joseph Kony. It's a military operation to secure oil and other African resources and limit Chinese access.
August 5, 2011
For the past four years all aid agencies, including the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders and U.N. relief agencies, have been blocked by the Ethiopian military from feeding starving people in Ogadenia. There are millions of starving people, maybe as many as 6 million, though no one can say for sure because no one is allowed into the region.
July 11, 2011
Ethiopian troops are in the oil rich, contested Sudanese Abyei region in accordance with a new U.N. Security Council resolution invoking sovereign nations' "responsibility to protect" vulnerable populations from genocide and mass atrocities if their own governments aren't protecting them. But what about Ethiopia's own genocide in the Ogaden Basin that the West is funding?
July 1, 2011
Leading members of Haiti's bourgeoisie tried to turn the Haitian police force into their own private army, according to a secret U.S. Embassy cable provided to Haïti Liberté by the media organization WikiLeaks.
November 1, 2010
Cholera, a "disease of poverty" caused by lack of access to clean water, has spread to Haiti's capital city of Port au Prince. At a small, desolate camp of ripped tents nearby, a gleaming water tank is propped up on bricks. But it's empty.
April 13, 2010
For decades, the Saint Louis de Gonzague school has groomed some of Haiti's most elite political players. Francois Duvalier, the iron-fisted dictator who ruled Haiti for 14 years, sent his son to the school. Now its grounds are home to nearly 11,000 Haitian families, driven out of destroyed neighborhoods in central Port au Prince.
April 2, 2010
Set on the banks of the Mississippi during the Civil War, "…and Jesus Moonwalks the Mississippi" is a poetic journey of forgiveness and redemption inspired by the myth of Demeter and Persephone. This thought-provoking play combines traditional storytelling, gospel music and a wicked sense of humor to create a rich, imaginative world that allows trees to preach, rivers to waltz and Jesus to moonwalk. The run has been extended through April 25.
March 30, 2010
In the weeks since the devastating earthquake in Haiti, familiar patterns of interference and neglect by the major powers that dominate the country are firmly entrenched. Notwithstanding heroic efforts of ordinary Haitian people, Haitian government officials and agencies and many international organizations, a grave health risk hovers over the people and the direction of Haiti's reconstruction remains entirely undetermined.
March 17, 2010
"Two months after the devastating earthquake, the situation in Haiti is downright criminal," says Robert Roth. According to the spokesperson for the activist network Haiti Action Committee, major Western players such as the U.S. are more interested in defending their own geopolitical interests in Haiti than truly helping the hard hit Caribbean country.
January 21, 2010
Venezuela was the first country to send aid after the disaster struck on Jan. 12, with an advance team of doctors, search and rescue experts as well as food, water, medical supplies and rescue equipment arriving in Port-au-Prince on the morning of Jan. 13. The Venezuelan government is doing everything in its power to provide as much help as possible while at the same time respecting the independence and sovereignty of Haiti.
January 20, 2010
Dr. Evan Lyon of Partners in Health stated, "There's also no violence. There is no insecurity." He said the security concerns are being overstated due to "misinformation and rumors … and racism." In a week since the earthquake, the U.S. had airlifted only 70,000 bottles of water for 3 million people in need.

Coltan is a mineral necessary for making electronic things work – like cellphones, ipods, PS3s and laptops. Over 6 million Congolese have been murdered to assure that the corporations and governments involved have a corner on the market for the minerals that the Congo produces. This is "Break the Silence" Congo Week. Check out the events and get involved!

As second top Internal Revenue Service official has announced plans to leave the agency amid the controversy over the targeting of tea party groups. An internal IRS memo says Joseph Grant, commissioner of the agency's tax exempt and government entities division, will retire June 3. Grant joins Steven Miller, who was forced to resign as acting IRS commissioner on Wednesday. As part of his duties, Grant oversaw the IRS division that targeted tea party groups for additional scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. Grant joined the IRS in 2005.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama will appoint senior White House budget officer Daniel Werfel to be acting commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, a White House official says.Werfel will replace Steven Miller, ousted Wednesday amid revelations that the IRS improperly singled out conservative groups for special scrutiny.The 42-year-old Werfel is the controller of the Office of Management and Budget, a job akin to a chief financial officer. Though Werfel was appointed to that job by Obama, he also worked during the administration of President George W. Bush.The official was not authorized to speak on the record about the announcement and revealed Werfel's appointment on the condition of anonymity.After days of inaction, Obama has tried to move swiftly in response to reports of inappropriate targeting by the IRS.

Maci Bookout's Spin-Off: Ryan Edwards Reveals the Truth
When it comes to the Teen Mom spin-off, there is a whole lot more confusion surrounding Maci Bookout, Farrah Abraham, and Catelynn Lowell.
Farrah Abraham confirmed that she had been offered a spin-off which would focus on her life with Sophia. However, not long after news broke, it was reported that her show would not be on MTV (if it makes it to network at all).
Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra have both been seen filming and, while they themselves have not confirmed a spin-off, Catelynn's father claims that cameras have been following the couple through their entire wedding planning process. They have both been vocal that they want their fans to watch them tie the knot, but that is all the information that they have given.
On the other hand, all seems to point to Maci getting her own show with the network. While Maci has denied these claims, photographic evidence has emerged showing camera crews capturing Maci in class at Chattanooga State. A tabloid article came out this week claiming that Ryan Edwards wanted nothing to do with Maci's new show, but that the network didn't seem to get the hint.
Fans know that Ryan has never enjoyed being on camera. He never liked having the public inside his personal life and was probably the least dramatic of the show. The only drama that ever transpired with him was anytime he had to talk with Maci. Of course, without Ryan to fight with, there wouldn't be much of a show. So, according to reports, Ryan Edwards decided to ask for an insane amount of money (reportedly $20,000 an episode), hoping that the network would turn it down since he "can't stand" Maci Bookout. The tabloid went on to claim that the plan backfired and that Ryan was set to become rich off of the spin-off.
However, is there any truth to the article? On Friday, a Twitter account devoted to Teen Mom tweeted an article stating Ryan's alleged claims. When a fan asked Ryan about it, he had a lot to say!
Ryan responded, " no none of that is true.. that twitter always makes up bullsh*t that's why they are blocked."
Unfortunately, Ryan Edwards didn't confirm whether or not Maci was getting her own spin-off. He only seemed to confirm that he wasn't going to be a part of any show that his ex-girlfriend pursues, no matter the amount of money.

James Green murder accused said 'it's going to be sorted' days before Northfleet killing - witness claim
5:42pm Thursday 29th November 2012 in News By George Sargent
A NORTHFLEET teenager accused of murdering father-of-five James Green told a friend "it's going to be sorted", days before the killing.
The teen, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was being asked why he and others on The Hive Estate were heckling 29-year-old Mr Green who was stabbed to death on his own doorstep in Northfleet on June 21.
Tommy Presley, aged 18, of Bankside, Northfleet, also denies murdering the Holly Court resident.
The prosecution claims Mr Green had been condemned as a "grass" after being arrested with someone else from the Hyde estate, but was released alone.
A key witness in the trial told the court how she spent time with the 17-year-old defendant five days before Mr Green's death.
She said she asked him why he was bothering with Mr Green. He allegedly replied: "Don't worry about it, it's going to be sorted.".
On the night of Mr Green's death she said the accused had also told her: "I've got to sort something."
When she told him not to get into any trouble "he just laughed" she said.
She also described an incident on June 15 where Mr Green retreated to the back of Northfleet Food and Wine, in Stonebridge Road, while youths gathered outside at around 5pm.
She told the court: "Someone in the crowd said: 'I'm going to kill you'.
The court was shown CCTV of the 17-year-old defendant with a group of people outside the shop.
Presley was not on the footage.
Jonathan Higgs, defending the 17-year-old defendant, told the witness: "The whole of your evidence about this is just plain wrong."
Presley admits causing the wounds which killed Mr Green but claims he acted in self-defence.
The 17-year-old says he was nearby but not involved in the death.
Both defendants deny murder.
The trial at Maidstone Crown Court continues.

To-be-commander Dunford sees existence of U.S. forces in Afghanistan post 2014 drawdown
Washington, Nov. 16 (ANI): The next to-be-commander of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan said that he foresees maintaining American forces and equipment in the country after international contingents leave by the end of 2014.
But Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford made it clear that his job will be to close down an unpopular war that is in its 12th year.
"With continued focus and commitment, I believe our goals are achievable," Dunford said.
Dunford, the second-ranking Marine at the Pentagon, is expected to win quick confirmation this month to succeed Marine Gen. John R. Allen as the top general in Afghanistan, The Washington Post reports.
According to the paper, over the next two years, Dunford would oversee the scaling down of the 68,000 U.S. forces in Afghanistan and the handoff to Afghans of primary responsibility for fighting the Taliban and the remnants of Al-Qaeda.
The plan set by Obama, NATO allies and Afghan President Hamid Karzai calls for handing over primary responsibility for combat and security to Afghan forces next year and removing all American and other foreign combat troops by the end of 2014: goals which are reasonable, Dunford told the Senate Armed Services Committee, the paper said.
Dunford however ducked questions from Democrats and Republicans about whether he wants to draw down forces gradually, as the White House prefers, or in a sudden exit near the deadline, the paper added. (ANI)

Guild Wars 2 Engineer profession revealed
The second to last profession for the upcoming MMO revealed
Posted on May 19, 2011 - 10:03am EST (May 19, 2011 10:03)
NCsoft and ArenaNet have announced the Engineer profession for the upcoming MMO Guild Wars 2. The Engineer is a master of the mechanical and tinkers with explosives, gadgets, elixirs, and all manner of deployable devices. They can take control of an area by placing turrets, support their allies with alchemic weaponry, or lay waste to foes with a wide array of mines, bombs, and grenades.
Like elementalists, engineers use a single weapon set at a time, but they complement this weapon set by equipping special utility and healing kits. These kits provide the engineer with special weapons and backpacks loaded with a full set of skills to replace their current weapon skills.
Weapon Kits are utility skills that equip a new weapon in the engineer's hands when activated. For example, the flamethrower kit creates a short-range AOE weapon the engineer can use to overwhelm foes. The flamethrower has skills like Immolate to damage nearby enemies, Air Blast to defend from ranged attacks, and Backdraft to suck enemies into range of the weapon's powerful attacks.
When activated, Backpack Kits equip a backpack that replaces the engineer's current weapon skills with a set of more specialized skills. For example, a bomb kit puts a backpack on engineers that allows them to deploy bombs with a variety of effects including smoke, concussion, and fire.
An engineer can deploy turrets: immobile allied devices that help defend and control an area. When a turret is deployed, the skill in that slot is replaced with its overcharged version. For example, an engineer can deploy a Thumper Turret to cause AOE damage, and then activate the overcharge version of that skill for a big thump attack that knocks down nearby enemies. An engineer can interact with deployed turrets, packing them up and moving them around. Only one of each type of turret can exist at a time.
An engineer tool belt is a set of special skills above the weapon skill bar. It enhances the effectiveness and functionality of the engineer's utility and heal skills. The tool belt can add a self-destruct skill to turrets or a detonation option to all mines. When paired with the grenade kit, the tool belt allows a grenade barrage; with the med kit, it adds a self-healing skill.
For a full list of skills and details about the new profession, including skill videos, visit the official website. Guild Wars 2 is set for beta testing at the end of this year, and is coming to Windows PC.

Bay County Beach Code Enforcement and Panama City Beach Code Enforcement met on Thursday night with beachfront property owners to reiterate the May 1, 2013 deadline of the turtle friendly lighting ordinance. The purpose of the meeting was to also educate the public on turtle friendly lighting and offer choices for lighting alternatives. "We had a really good nesting season last year, I believe the numbers were up...and a lot of that was due in part to the commercial businesses have already complied with the lighting requirements," Panama City Beach Code Enforcement officer James Tindle said. Lighting is crucial to the life cycle of sea turtles, and if there is too much light during the nesting season, nest may not survive.

YARMOUTH — RCMP arrested and charged a Yarmouth teen after a man was allegedly clubbed twice in the head with a baseball bat.
William Jamie Nathan Weagle, 18, was taken into custody following a 911 call Tuesday at about 5:40 p.m., said Const. Dana Patterson.
A 49-year-old man had shown up at Yarmouth Regional Hospital's emergency department claiming he had been hit by someone with a bat.
Police say a disagreement erupted between two men inside a residence where one is alleged to have grabbed a bat.
Weagle, who remained in custody, made an initial appearance Wednesday in Yarmouth provincial court. He's charged with assaulting Gerard Comeau with a bat and causing bodily harm.
Weagle consented to return to jail until Thursday, when he is expected to enter a plea to the charges.
Earlier this week, RCMP said it was a sledgehammer and an iron pipe that were allegedly used to attack a man Sunday. In that unrelated case, two Yarmouth men were charged with attacking a 46-year-old man and robbing the victim of his wallet on Tooker Street in Yarmouth's south end.
Trevor Joseph Jacquard, 22, and Desi Thomas Sisco, 21, of Yarmouth are charged with assault and robbery. Ronald Dempsey Higby, 18, is charged with theft of a wallet in the same case.

The actual treatment was very good when eventually it happened.
Booked for 9am, all shut up nobody there, shutters down. Beautician arrived at 9.03 , to start opening up. I decided this was not going to be a pleasant experience so rebooked to another time, mid day in the next week. Also very noisy treatment room because of loud music in the salon and hairdresser customers talking and chatting to their stylist .

Calvert Idols Finalists Show Some Extraordinary Talent
By Robyn Truslow
The Calvert Library and the Garrett Music Academy hosted RU Calvert's Next Idol and the young talent in Calvert County came out of the woodworks. Auditions were held on July 24 at the Calvert Library Prince Frederick with over 50 contestants competing. The youth competed by age category and the top performers went on to compete at the Finals on July 31.
There were five competitors in the ages 6 to 9 category for the Finals: Angela Arnold, Delaney Guldseth, Unique Keemer, Sabrina Pearson and Michaila Shahan. With a crowd of close to 400, these young people had to be brave as well as talented…and they were.
Emily Bowen, one of the judges was heard to say, "If they are this good now, imagine how impressive they'll be in a few years."
Delaney Guldseth walked away with the first place prize in this category. She will get to create a demo recording in a professional studio as well as have a professional photo shoot as will the other winners. She wowed the crowd with her sweet voice and near perfect performance of 'This is Me.'
The tween category ( 10 to 13 years old) had seven contestants in the Finals: Shane Colgan, Regan Hall, Andre Jones, Sully Newsom, Michaela Pitcher, Amber Velasquez, and Brandi Wightman. A wide variety of musical styles was represented in the selections from heartbreaking vintage Michael Jackson (Shane Colgan) to an edgy and powerful Leann Rimes song (Regan Hall).
The winner in the tween category was a musical prodigy seen performing all over Calvert, Andre Jones. He accompanied himself on the keyboard while singing Jamie Foxx's 'Heaven.' His performance showcased his versatility and innate musical intelligence.
The largest group of performers was the teens, ages 14 to17 with eight performers selected to participate in the Finals: Alex Cooper, Caitlan Fagan, Marleigh Ferguson, Naquan Holland, Jacqueline Pleasant, Alissa Pruitt, Jackie Reading and Jamie Schaefer. Again, the talent made for a great show and the audience got into the performances. Jacqueline Pleasant took the prize in this category with her top-notch performance of Fergie's stylistically difficult and sophisticated 'Finally.'
The Finals had four judges with strong music backgrounds. In fact, there were two producers judging; Tom Dahrens from Nashville and Patrick "Drail" Brooks from Southern Maryland.
Dahrens, also a music writer, has produced dozens of artists in Nashville and worked in the area's most prestigious studios. Brooks has been producing artists since 2006 and has been hailed as one of the area's most talented rappers and producers.
Acclaimed songwriter and Grammy nominee Paul Christensen who has over 35 years in the music industry, including writing movie scores and music for commercials and documentaries, was a judge at both the auditions and finals. Widely performing vocalist Emily Bowen made up the remainder of the judges' team.
If you missed the event, you can see samples of the performances of all the competitors on Calvert Library's Flickr site which you can access through calvert.lib.md.us. Start making plans for next year because RU Calvert's Next Idol is sure to be renewed for the next season. For more information, call Beverly Izzi at (410) 535-0291.

Divorce Strategy
Men and Divorce Strategy
Why is it some men go through a divorce and flourish afterward while the vast majority of others live on the brink of poverty?
While money and a high income certainly help, that's not the only reason some men thrive after divorce. Well, it's because the "act" of divorce is really a business transaction.
Divorce is more a business transaction than a legal one. You can use this strategy in your divorce. In fact, this is the best divorce strategy anyone can give you.
Divorce winners conduct their divorce with the strategy that its a business transaction. They don't appear in court, rarely hire lawyers, and don't file lawsuits against their wife.
They negotiate a fair deal and settle quickly.
Divorce losers conduct their divorce like a lawsuit. They buy into the "TV divorce myth." They hire an aggressive lawyer and sue their wife in court.
They spend thousands in legal fees let their divorce drag on for months in court.
Don't go that route.
For a complete survival guide on all parts of divorce strategy for men filled with strategies that work, check out No BS Divorce Strategies for Men.

Winston Churchill once said, "The maxim 'nothing but perfection' may be spelled 'paralysis.'"

The holiday season is a time of joy and a time of stress. The pressure to be exuberant amidst winter's darkness often leads to a feeling of disconnect for many. This year is especially difficult, as Hurricane Sandy came hurling to the Northeast region leaving the ravages of flooding, loss of power for millions, billions of dollars in damaged homes and businesses, and lost lives. How do we feel grateful in the face of loss?
So many that have faced the devastation of Sandy have also been blessed by the loving kindness of others. The truth is our lives are composed of a constellation of complicated feelings and they come bubbling forth at a time like this, even if [click to continue…]

Physical activity has always been a saving grace for me. As a teenager I loved swimming in the summers and running along the beach with my dog whenever I could.
One day while meandering through the Brooklyn College bookstore I discovered a book on the practice of yoga. As I read that book, gleaning various breathing techniques and dynamic postures, something clicked. I learned to stretch and move through space while deepening my breath and gradually becoming more skilled at slowing down. [click to continue…]
"Mindful" exercise, walks or workouts are flow activities. They create a shift in consciousness through physical activity. Think of physical activity not just as a way to stay fit or look better, but as a sacred time for you to devote away from the pressures of everyday life. Your body needs to be exercised and your mind and spirit need to be rejuvenated – all of which can be accomplished in taking a mindful walk, yoga or Pilates class, a bike ride, swim, dance class or a multitude of other forms of exercise.

"I'm such a loser." "I look fat." "Why do I always say so many stupid things?" Lisa repeatedly put herself down and reported feeling increasingly despondent when things went wrong. For years she thought of her life in the most negative light and, not surprisingly, was becoming increasingly anxious.
Lisa judged herself harshly for her parenting skills, saying she was a terrible mother especially when conflicts arose with her teenage son. Social situations were also challenging and Lisa often berated herself afterward. [click to continue…]

This is a fundamental question that we all have to look at very seriously. Paterno's time is nearly up.
First let me clarify me own position on Paterno staying as a coach. He is one of the greatest coaches in sports history, and it would be a shame to force him out like Bobby Bowden. I firmly believe he has earned the right to retire on his own terms. That could be this season, it could be next season, it could be after 2012. All I know is the time is near. Joe cannot outrun Father Time forever. This season he showed his age more than ever and it has been depressing. I am not "on the ledge" or calling for Joe's head like some others, but I simply know his final hour will be coming soon. Probably sooner than we think.
That being said, we go back to the question "Who will coach at Dear Old State?"
In my opinion, it would be best to go outside the program. We should get a coach with Big Ten roots, who understands the tradition of Penn State. This would also help because it would remove (help to remove rather) the pressure of walking in Paterno's shoes. I do not want a coach from the current staff a) because they are garbage and b) they would constantly be compared to JoePa and have a tough time building a program in their own image.
My 3 Top Candidates:
1) Pat Fitzgerald - He is one of the best college coaches in the county. He has built the jNW program to NW and now competes with everyone else in the Big Ten. He is young, fits the Big Ten profile and brings a ton of energy to the table. I sometimes wonder what he could do with the same talent as Penn State. The problem with Fitz is he is committed to building the NW program. He is also a NW alum and knows a thing or two about winning. He would be extremely tough to pull away from NW.
2) Al Golden - Fits the PSU profile perfectly. Young, energetic and has done a great job with Temple. He knows how to get his guys motivated. You saw how they played against the Nitty Kitties a few saturdays ago. Not to mention he played under Paterno. But he still has his own style and could build a great program. However, he is one of the hottest coaches on the market and will be gone somewhere else in few year.
3) Greg Schiano - Played at Bucknell and was a GA at PSU in the 90's. Knows about Northeastern football and the Big Ten. Brings a lot of energy to the table and has been very consistent over the past 4 or 5 seasons at Rutgers. He is a poor-mans version of the other two, but still a worthy candidate.
Those are my top 3. Any other thoughts?
And Definitely not JayPa, Galen Hall, TB

One thing I'm learning as a writer is that my crock pot is my best friend. Just put something in first thing in the morning, and by the end of the day dinner's done. I don't have to stop whatever I'm doing to cook.
I picked up a little recipe card book from A Taste of Home the other day at the supermarket. Of course, I'm adapting the recipes for my own taste. Here's one that I've added a little extra zing to.
2 to 3 boneless chicken breasts
1 tbsp cooking oil
1 32 oz package MSG free chicken broth
1 package frozen corn, thawed OR 1 can corn
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 4 oz can diced green chiles
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped (optional)
1 medium red pepper, chopped (optional)
1 tsp salt (optional)
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
Chopped chicken into bite-sized cubes and saute in oil over medium heat. While chicken is cooking chop onion and peppers, (if desired), and drop into crock pot. Add corn, chiles and tomatoes and stir. Drop in chicken, stir again. Pour entire package of broth over top and add seasonings. Stir again, cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours. Serve with hot cornbread.

I also use ScreenSnap for taking screenshots, I know it use to work with shift key, i.e not available in C-5, but there is 1 another method to take screenshots with it, i.e first set the time delay acc to ur choice say10 secs and then press the Green calling key, and then just press the home button (Remember not to close the App, it shoud be remained running in the background), and goto that screen whose screenshot you want to take, after ur specified time i.e 10 sec u'll hear a shutter sound, and screenshot will be saved in images folder, but remember u've to do all this within 10 secs, u can even increse the time delay if u want....

Hi SDXY, C-5 has improved alot from v31.xx to v71.xx, u dont know what u r missing, it is highly recommended to keep ur phone updated, but still its ur choice.... But the answer to ur question is yes, the sound quality of the phone has been really improved, can't compare it with the sound it use to produce with v31.xx coz i don't remember how it was with that firmware, but now it is definately improved....

I must say that I ended up very disappointed. Current firmware is a third after 31.xx which the problem of poor sound was not resolved. Is Nokia listening at all of its users remarks or is unsolvable technical problem pump up the volume by 20-30%? I doubt it. Please fix this thing, I can not hear properly, neither when the phone rings, neither caller!

A 10-month-old accidentally locked himself inside a hot car, and his mom says a 911 dispatcher didn't immediately send help.
As the Pima County Fair enters its first full week, fair organizers are already celebrating success.
They say attendance is up again this year.
Pima County Fair officials say, while most state and county fairs might grow attendance by two or three percent a year, the Pima County Fair's attendance jumps at least 14 percent a year and has set attendance or revenue records since 2005.
It seems that while the Pima County Fair has all the rides food and entertainment, it also has a philosophy that has led to the record-breaking performances, even in tough economic times.
It's a "give them what they want" philosophy, you might say.
You'll still see the things you liked about the fair years ago such as amazing food and exciting rides, but times are changing.
The organizers say they are including edgier acts and programs because they recognize changes in families and in the community, and they are embracing those changes and adapting to them.
The fair is going for a wide appeal.
"What's appealing to one family may not be appealing to another. There's families that want to come out during a night when it's more faith-based. There's other families that want to come out when there's no concerts. There's families that want to come when there's just a ride night. But then there's families that want to come and see a hip-hop show or a rock show or a country show," says Pima County Fair Marketing and Entertainment Manager Launa Rabago.
"It's a very kid-friendly place says Jared Juan, who took his children to the fair on Tuesday. "There are not a whole lot of other places other than like the zoo or children's museum that you go to all the time. So It's just something different to take them out to like a once-a-year type of thing."
Perry and Carol McMillan were enjoying the fair.
"This just takes me back to my childhood and it's wonderful. And I just love looking at the animals and seeing the kids have a great time. There's concerts. There's just so much to do," Carol says.
As for Perry, he says, "It ends up, as you get older, you come out to eat more than you do rides. We look forward too the eats every year."
The fair's Rabago says, "I think that we still have the old-fashioned aspect to the fair, but we don't want it just to be that. Let's have some new fashion. Let's recognize the changes. Let's go after these new people. Let's accept the change. Let's go with the flow."
Plus, the fair has changed to keep up with technology and social media.
This years fair has almost 40,000 Facebook followers.
The fair runs through Sunday.
The Pima County fair runs every day through Sunday.

Asthma symptoms are caused when the airways become inflamed and constricted. Symptoms vary from one person to the next and could worsen by a respiratory condition, such as the flu or a cold. Asthma symptoms can also vary from one attack to another in the same person. You could go long periods of time without any symptoms, punctuated by periodic asthma attacks. Or you might have asthma symptoms every day, only at night, or only after exercise. If you are experiencing what you think might be asthma symptoms, you should see your doctor for an asthma screening and tests.

Common Asthma Symptoms
A persistent cough is one of the most common asthma symptoms. The cough may be dry or wet (containing mucus) and might worsen at night or after exercise. A chronic dry cough, with no other asthma symptoms, may be a sign that you have cough-variant asthma.
Learn other causes of coughing.
Wheezing is a whistling sound that usually occurs when you exhale. It is the result of air being forced through narrower, constricted air passages. Wheezing is one of the most recognizable asthma symptoms, but just because you wheeze doesn't mean you have asthma; it is also a symptom of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia.
Learn other causes of wheezing.
Difficulty Breathing
As the airways become inflamed and constricted, you might find it difficult to breathe or catch your breath. To make matters worse, mucus can fill the narrowed passages. This asthma symptom could lead to feelings of anxiety, which can make breathing even more difficult.
Learn other causes of breathing difficulty.
Chest Tightness
As muscles surrounding the airways constrict, you may experience a feeling of tightness in the chest, as if someone were tightening a rope around your upper torso. This asthma symptom could make it difficult to breathe or catch your breath and lead to feelings of anxiety.
Learn other causes of chest tightness.
Other Asthma Symptoms
Some asthma symptoms are less common. They can be triggered by the common asthma symptoms listed above or can exist independently of those symptoms.
During an asthma attack, you aren't getting enough oxygen into your lungs, which means less oxygen is getting into your blood and to your muscles. Without oxygen, your body slows down and fatigue sets in. Also, if your asthma symptoms worsen at night (nocturnal asthma) and you have trouble sleeping, you will likely feel fatigued during the day.

Anxiety can be both a symptom of and a trigger for an asthma attack. As your airways start to narrow, your chest tightens, and breathing becomes difficult, which can understandably generate anxiety. And the unpredictability of an asthma attack can also be a source of anxiety. On the other hand, being in a stressful situation can trigger asthma symptoms in some people.

Emergency Symptoms of Asthma
Asthma symptoms can disrupt your daily life and keep you from living an active lifestyle, but most of the time they are more of an annoyance than a threat to your life. However, asthma symptoms, if severe enough, can certainly cause a life-threatening emergency and should be taken seriously. An adult or child experiencing an asthma attack should go to the emergency room if quick-relief medication is not working after 10-15 minutes or if he or she is experiencing the following asthma symptoms:
- Discolored (blue or gray) lips, face, or nails
- Extreme difficulty breathing, causing neck and chest to be "sucked in" with each breath
- Difficulty talking or walking
- Mental confusion
- Extreme anxiety caused by breathing difficulty
- Fever of 100 degrees or higher
- Chest pain
- Rapid pulse

I was looking through the roster cuts, and thought to myself wow their are some really good players that could help the Jets.
I don't understand why the FO didn't go after some more experienced OL depth with likes of; Max Jean Gilles, Ray Dominguez and Pat McQuistan all of whom have in season playing time.
Then their where the LB's starting with Prescott Burgess and, George Selvie both of whom could improve the OLB position.
Then Zac Diles, Xavier Adibi and, Tavares Gooden, Diles is a tackling machine! Coming into his 5th year he has amassed 223 tackles,1 sack, 1 safety, 3 pdef and, 1 int not bad for a guy that was a UDFA. Xavier Adibi and, Tavares Gooden are both young guns that have some real upside.
The satey position I was looking at either Perrish Cox whom played CB last year and, pretty good. Another guy who I thought could make the crossover was Brandon Ghee this guy flies at a 4.37 6'0" 192lbs. perfect to turn into a Ed Reed or Troy cross breed, very smart coming from Wake Forest. Their is also Akwasi Owusu-Ansah 4.32 6'0" 207lbs could be a monster at SS, get him in the gym to gain some muscle to get him to maybe 217 - 222lbs. so what he'd now run at 4.37 - 4.42 after the weight gain still a lot faster than any other saftey on the roster right as of now.
Finally WR they go get Mardy Gilyard unproven, instead of maybe Laurent Robinson or Seyi Aijrotutu both of whom proved to be very effective at times. Seyi proved last season that he was a very capable WR when the Chargers needed him to step up, and be the man. Robinson has had his moments where he has been at that tier just under the elite's or superstar's.
So in closing I just have a hard time with the FO going with that let's promote from within instead of getting the best player's available, now I'm not saying that promoting from within isn't a good thing in certain situation's. IMO when it comes to PS addition's or, when they need some proven depth at any position, you get best available and, someone with some experience preferably so, if needed they can step right in and, their would be barely no drop off in play. You don't trade a playmaker away for a unproven player that has no experience at alll

NILES, Ohio - A former Niles police officer settled a federal lawsuit he filed two years ago against the city.
Robert Ludt filed a suit claiming the city was not enforcing the noise ordinance after he complained about loud music coming from McMenamy's Restaurant and Banquet Center near his home.

Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch has always been a savvy businessman, building his Little Cesars Pizza business from the ground up and transforming it into a national mainstay.
He rebuilt the Red Wings from the ashes of the Dead Wings era, winning four Stanley Cups. And slowly, but surely, he's brought the Tigers back from the awfulness that was the 1990s and turned them into winners (well, at least for half a season).
But first and foremost he's always been a "Detroit guy." And his latest business venture will do nothing to change that image, as Ilitch has expressed interest in buying the Detroit Pistons.
The Pistons went on sale this off-season after the death of former owner William Davidson, whose wife Karen now runs the franchise. Karen Davidson wanted nothing to do with running the team from the very start and put the team on the market faster than you can say "Las Vegas."
It was the rumor of the Pistons moving to Vegas that perhaps motivated Ilitch to put his name in the pool. The economy has hurt the sale of the team, as the only other mentioned possibility has been Atlas Oil chairman Sam Simon, who runs the Taylor-based company. But Simon hasn't said a peep about owning the team, making Mr. I the first, and only, frontrunner. Here's an excerpt from the Detroit Free Press article that sheds some light on Ilitch's concern about the future of the team:
"Marian and I grew up here, we raised our family here and we built our businesses here. Detroit is our home,"a statement from Mike Ilitch said. "When I read in the paper there was the chance that this great sports town could lose one of its professional sports franchises, I just didn't see how we could let that happen.
You all know I love sports - all sports, from amateur sports to the various pro sports we've had the privilege to be involved with, and like a lot of others I'm sure, I really want to see the Pistons remain the Detroit Pistons."
How does this concern the Red Wings you ask? Well, other than one guy basically controlling the city of Detroit, an Ilitch purchase of the Pistons would certainly lead to a new downtown arena for both teams. Ilitch is said to want the entire Palace and Sports Entertainment empire, which includes the Pistons, the DTE Music and Energy Center and The Palace of Auburn Hills.
The Palace is the key figure in this entire ordeal. According to George Malik of MLive, Oakland County executive L. Brooks Patterson would try to convince Ilitch to keep the Pistons at the Palace should he succeed in buying the team:
I'm delighted that a respected local businessman, Mike Ilitch, has expressed interest in the Pistons and Palace Sports and Entertainment. I will do my best to encourage Mr. Ilitch to keep the Pistons in the Palace of Auburn Hills, ranked the number one arena in the nation," Patterson said in a statement
Notice that "ranked number one in the nation" jab he threw in there? It's possible, though highly unlikely, that the sale could hinge on whether or not the Ilitches intend to move the team out of the Palace, which was built in 1988 and is considered one of the top arenas in the NBA.
The Red Wings recently said they'd play at aging Joe Louis Arena for 2010-11, but it's clear that Ilitch wants some new digs for his favorite franchise. Ironically, the Palace has been mentioned as a possible replacement for the Joe should the Red Wings move out, but if Ilitch buys PSE, it looks like the Palace is going to be the odd-arena out. According to Malik, the Red Wings want a new arena whether they get the Pistons or not. Basically, having the Pistons would give Mr. I a good excuse to build a new downtown arena.
Speaking of favorite franchises, that's another aspect in all of this that easily can get looked over. Would it be good for the city to have one guy owning three of the four professional teams? Perhaps more importantly, would the Pistons suffer at the expense of the Red Wings and Tigers, which Ilitch has owned for a much longer period?
My gut tells me that it wouldn't immediately have an impact, as long as Joe Dumars has control to do what he wants with the team personnel-wise. But say times get a little tight(er) and there's not a whole lot of cash to throw around the Ilitch household. Which team gets priority? History says the Red Wings are the favorite son in that department, which is good for Red Wings fans, and bad for everyone else.
Ultimately, Ilitch is trying to be the good guy here. The Pistons in reality had very little chance of bolting town, but the mere thought prompted him to swoop in, just to make sure. After an embarrassing season last year, I can't imagine an Ilitch-owned Pistons would be much worse.
That being said, you wouldn't happen to be a football fan, would you Mr. I?
Read Mike Ilitch's full statement here on his interest in buying the Detroit Pistons.

CATEGORIES Animation, Foreign Language, Disney, Home Entertainment, Cinematical Indie, Features, CinematicalAmerican fans of Howl's Moving Castle have been wondering when Disney would release the movie on DVD in U.S./Region 1. (A DVD is already available in Japan.) The release date has just been announced: March 7, 2006. Disney will release two other Studio Ghibli films on the same date: My Neighbor Totoro and Whisper of the Heart. Each movie will be released in a two-DVD set that includes both the Japanese version with subtitles and the English dub. Storyboards of the films might also be included; details are currently sketchy.
Howl's Moving Castle is on the (long) shortlist of nominations for the Best Animated Film Oscar and is considered a serious contender. Totoro has been released in the U.S. previously, but only in a full-screen edition dubbed in English. Like Howl's Moving Castle, Totoro was directed by Hayao Mizayaki, although it is much lighter in tone. I don't know much about Whisper, which hasn't been released in the U.S. before. According to the Nausicaa.net profile of the film, it's about a Japanese teenager trying to discover her true identity. I noticed screenshots of cats dressed in Victorian clothing so it's not as prosaic as that description implies. After all, it just isn't a Studio Ghibli film without ultra-adorable or ultra-strange creatures (usually both).

The Next Food Experiment Will Take Place September 12
Following an almost six-month period of dormancy, Nick Suarez and Theo Peck's Food Experiments will return on September 12.
The latest experiment will be the Brooklyn Roots Experiment, which challenges home cooks to "prepare dishes that best represent Brooklyn." Naturally, food/ingredients with Brooklyn roots "will be highlighted and encouraged." Frankies 457 Spuntino's Frank Castronovo will be on hand to judge the results, which one imagines will include lots of pickled produce and, hopefully, an egg cream or two.
The competition will be part of the Farm City Fair, which is in turn part of the annual Crossing the Line festival. To register as a chef or snag a $25 ticket, go here.

Monday October 25 2010 – 11:52am Eastern – Toronto, ON
In recent days there has been a story swirling around NBA circles that the league MAY look to contract a franchise or two when the current collective bargaining agreement expires on June 30 2011. If the league can't come to an agreement with the players association — or even if they CAN — David Stern has hinted that contraction may be a way to help curb spending and bring player costs down for the owners and general managers throughout the NBA.
Following a conference call with Stern last week, Associated Press quoted the Commish (a story that was even picked up on NBA.com as well), saying:
"It's a sensitive subject for me because I've spent 27 years in this job working very hard not only to maintain all of our teams, but along the way add a few. But I think that's a subject that will be on the table with the players as we look to see what's the optimum way to present our game, and are there cities and teams that cannot make it in the current economic environment. I'm not spending a lot of time on it."
But the Toronto Raptors will NOT be one of those teams.
Though some (many?) folks in the U.S. media treat Canada/Toronto-bashing as some sort of tradition or national past-time, the fact is that the Raptors are one of the more profitable organizations in the NBA. Making the playoffs only 5 times in 15 years is nothing to write home about, but the fan base has continued to support the Raps through thick and thin. The attendance figures put Toronto in the Top 10 – or top half at the very least – of the league year after year. And the TV broadcasts generate Top 5 ratings (though that fact gets ignored here in Canada) when compared with the other markets around the league.
So ignore B.S. stories from folks like BleacherReport.com that try to tell you otherwise.
( see: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/498867-breaking-nba-open-to-contraction-but-no-teams-specified-like-raptors-grizzlies?search_query=contraction )
I'm not here to rip on the folks at Bleacher Report. I'm sure they normally run a respectable, reputable website. I don't know it well enough to give my own opinion of their overall body of work. However, in this case … with the story above … they're completely out to lunch.
Two things (if not more) are wrong with their story.
1 – The headline: "NBA Open To Contraction, but No Teams Specified Like Raptors, Bobcats, Grizzlies"
I'll ignore the fact that it's just a terrible headline. The headline implies that the Raptors are in trouble or that they'd be on the list of teams that could be facing contraction. But then their article doesn't even mention the Raptors! So why even throw them out so arbitrarily in the headline?!
That leads me to point number two …
2 – The story doesn't reflect the headline. The Raptors aren't mentioned in the body of the text. Though Toronto is foolishly highlighted in the headline, the story uses a list compiled by FORBES magazine to back-up the argument of teams that could be faced with the contraction issue.
Bleacher Report states that the bottom 10 teams in the league – in terms of "VALUE" – as stated by Forbes are as follows:
20 – Portland – $307 million
21 – Atlanta – $306 million
22 – Indiana – $303 million
23 – Minnesota – $301 million
24 – Oklahoma City – $300 million
25 – LA Clippers – $297 million
26 – New Jersey – $295 million
27 – Memphis - $294 million
28 – New Orleans – $285 million
29 – Charlotte – $284 million
30 – Milwaukee – $278 million
Again, the Raptors aren't mentioned in the story and they certainly aren't listed in the bottom 10 teams RE: "value"
In fact, a further check of Forbes reveals THIS:
The Raptors are 11th in the NBA … valued at $400 million!
So, according to the Bleacher Report headline, a team that is just out of the Top 10 (in value) in its league is facing potential contraction? A team that is owned be a group that owns the arena they play in, the biggest money-making hockey team in the country (the Leafs), condos, restaurants, and a soccer team … is going to be gone from the league?
This stinks of more ignorance regarding the Canadian market – and Toronto specifically. This is arbitrary accusation – with little research or reason – at its finest.
The Raptors are going nowhere folks. Book it.
E. Smith
For those interested, here is the TOP TEN (in terms of value) in the NBA:
1 – New York – $613 million
2 – LA Lakers – $584 million
3 – Chicago – $504 million
4 – Detroit – $480 million
5 – Cleveland – $477 million
6 – Houston – $469 million
7 – Dallas – $466 million
8 – Phoenix – $452 million
9 – Boston – $447 million
10 – San Antonio – $415 million
* 11 – Toronto – $400 million
10 Responses to "Toronto Is Going Nowhere"
First of all Bleacher Report is a glorified blog imo so it's not exactly a reputable source. Second, here is where the folks at BR got their "BS" info: http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/articles/2010/10/24/shaq_cries_foul_on_some_gms_for_bad_business_practices/
This article in the Boston Globe (a reputable source) is where the argument stems from and the 3 teams that David Stern mentions are Charlotte, Memphis and New Orleans and that is it. There is no mention of Toronto whatsoever. So either the people at BR can't read properly or they should get their facts straight before they post something on their website.
- Peace and Much Love to Ya :)- JabberWocky
Solid post, Smitty. And, I believe you should now focus on more important issues re the Raps.
I've never heard of Bleacher Report. And, I doubt I've missed much.- brento.
In your Raptor Blog today on nba.com/raptors "Fact Checking", I appreciated your opinion on US media on Canada's lone NBA team. My question is, besides T-Mac, who else has left after their rookie contract? I don't recall many. Is it a smarter decision for a player to "always" resign with their original club?- Anthony R
Just curious.
Ho hum. Another predictable rant from E. Smith against the nasty American media.
He ridiculed them when they predicted the Raptors would lose to the Nets in the playoffs a few years ago, but they turned out to be right.
He ridiculed them when they predicted the Raptors would miss the playoffs two years ago, but they turned out to be right.
He ridiculed them when they predicted the Raptors would miss the playoffs last year, but they turned out to be right.
He ridiculed them when they predicted Bosh would leave the Raptors, but they turned out to be right.
I'm not saying they are right this time, in fact I doubt that they are (however if the Raptors weren't owned by MLSE it might be a different story). But maybe it would be better for E. Smith to have a bit of a thicker skin rather than going on a rant every time someone in the evil United States says something negative about the Raptors.- Mike S
i agree with you E the raps are in great shape and it s going to be a historic season ,,,, go raps go- lemongellofan
Never say never. The way things change so quickly these days who's to say the NBA will exist in 10 years. The players make fare too much money in the league and eventually will be the downfall of the whole thing. Even if the raptors fold or the league goes bankrupt there will always be basketball.- Rob of brantford
Although I agree there is zero reason to believe that the Raptors are going anywhere, I'd bet this top ten in value was done from last year's revenue numbers.
I'll further bet that both Cleveland, Houston and Toronto move down this year.
1 – New York – $613 million- Gary
2 – LA Lakers – $584 million
3 – Chicago – $504 million
4 – Detroit – $480 million
5 – Cleveland – $477 million
6 – Houston – $469 million
7 – Dallas – $466 million
8 – Phoenix – $452 million
9 – Boston – $447 million
10 – San Antonio – $415 million
* 11 – Toronto – $400 million
lets all agree ,,the raps are going nowhere,,,,,,- lemongellofan
Not that I disagree with your argument, but the validity of the Forbes valuations has been a subject of some debate. There are quite a few journalists, sports professionals and economists that believe they basically pull these numbers out of their backside, or at least base them on a minimum of good data. A propos of nothing, because I believe the Raptors are hardly in danger of contraction…but neither do I believe they are the 11th most valuable franchise. Maybe if you include the condos.- Funkmode
The Raptors aren't going anywhere.- Carlos
