Crew girls gain early college acceptance
Date: December 22, 2009
by: Loren Mayo | Staff Writer
Last year marked a season of intense recruiting for Sarasota Crew's varsity men's squad, resulting in commitments to Columbia, Northeastern and Princeton.
This year, the girls take the honors.
Carli Goldberg of Osprey, a senior at Riverview High in Sarasota, has announced her commitment to row for the University of Virginia next year. Westanna Carleton of Venice, a senior at The Out of Door Academy, has signed with Boston University, and Christina Niffenegger of Sarasota, a senior at Pine View High School, will row for the University of California, San Diego.
The three girls have rowed as a team since 2006 and claimed top honors at the 2009 Southeastern Regional Championship women's youth sculling event. Four other female rowers also are considering invitations from colleges and universities.
"These three girls represent Sarasota Crew extremely well," said Casey Galvanek, Sarasota Crew head coach. "They have put in the hard work, they have felt the pain of training, they have felt the pleasure in achieving their individual and team goals and they have kept focus with their academic workload. Keeping such a balance has offered each athlete a greater scope of collegiate opportunities, and these young ladies did not hesitate to take full advantage."

No season in recent memory will begin with as many unanswered questions as will this upcoming campaign. It's not as if Dallas is unaccustomed to off season reshuffling of the deck. In fact, it has almost become an annual right of passage for America's Team. Having said that, there seem to be cultural shifts taking place at Valley Ranch in terms of how the locker room chemistry is viewed, leadership roles, Wade's future and the type of team image Dallas wants to portray along with the usual questions around individual and group performances. Just consider some of the questions that will not only be answered, but done so resoundingly, by season's end;
Will Tony Romo finally LEAD this team over the hump now that his 'distractions' have been minimized or will he continue to be known more for miscues than magic?
Is Roy Williams the next great Dallas Wide Receiver or 'the worst trade ever'?
Will Jason Garrett be able to gameplan in a way that maximizes the value of the weapons on offense or will he end up looking inexperienced and getting outcoached regularly?
Can Jon Kitna step in and win some games if he has to?
Can Felix Jones pick up where he left off and add that much needed, explosive dimension to Dallas' running game?
Can Hudson Houck help this offensive line return to the dominance it flashed in 2007, or will it continue 2008's decline?
Is Marion Barber not who we thought he was or will he re-emerge as a dominant power back?
Can Tashard Choice take that next step toward what many think could be greatness or was he a flash in the pan?
Will Wade be able to turn this defense, with his revamped defensive backfield, into one that can stifle opponents on a regular basis or will it wear down in the clutch?
Can Anthony Spencer step up in Greg Ellis' place and generate enough bookend pressure to make teams pay for doubling Ware?
Will Gerald Sensabaugh prove to be the missing link in the (what seems like endless) search for a coverage safety to pair with Ken Hamlin in Dallas' much maligned secondary?
What does Keith Brooking have left in the tank?
Who backs up Jay Ratliff?
Will Joe DeCamilis turn the Special Teams unit around or will it continue to be a lackluster group?
How will Nick Folk rebound from hip surgery? Will Mat McBriar return to form after suffering the broken foot?
Can Wade harness his inner 'Buddy Ryan' to get more out of his players than in the past?
What impact will the new and improved locker room have on the performance of this team during key games in December and January?
Can this draft class impress enough in training camp to make the final 53 and help churn out the bottom of the roster?
Will Dallas finally win a playoff game?
What does Wade have to do to keep his job?
No doubt about it, this iteration of the Dallas Cowboys comes into the 2009 Season with as many, if not more, questions as they have had in the last decade. The roster is still loaded with talent and potentially a boatload of pro bowl performers, but there are also significant unknowns around their depth at key positions as well as a coaching staff on the hot seat. There's a lot less hype, and thus pressure, than in previous years and that may prove to be a good thing. Instead of answering questions from reporters, they can all focus on answering these questions with positive answers from their play on the field.

AAA predicts 1 in 4 Americans will be driving to their various destinations for the holidays.
Starting Friday, officers are designating the next few days as National Holiday Life-Saver weekend. It's an effort to increase police presence, and reduce accidents on the roads.
Last year, Virginia State police says it arrested more than 5100 people for not driving sober. Officers are also encouraging drinkers to have a designated driver in place.
Officers want to remind drivers to move over to a different lane or slow down when someone has been pulled over to the shoulder.
AAA says there will be a 1.5% increase in holiday travelers this year compared to last year.

Will Russ from Evangel Christian in Shreveport La. has been rumored to be a surprise visitor. Could Mack be up to it again? Would Hunter Lawrence anoint this one to bear his mantle? A special team treat at 6'4" 185lbs pre-Maddog Punter and Kicker. This is a fantastic idea. I approve. -- GoBR --
Friday during a 10 A.M. CST press conference at Plano West High School, ESPN's Gerry Hamilton reports.
Jackson Jeffcoat update -- ESPN reports that the Plano West defensive end narrowed his choices to Texas, Oklahoma, and Houston, eliminating Arizona State. [Update]: Now it looks like Jim Jeffcoat is saying that there will be no announcement on Sunday.
Jackson Jeffcoat, son of Jim and one of the top HS recruits in the nation will announce LIVE on Fox 4 1/31 where he's going. Stayed tuned!— Kevin Morrell (@KMorrellFox4) January 21, 2010
According to a tweet from Kevin Morrell, the executive sports producer at Fox 4, the Dallas affiliate, Jackson Jeffcoat will announce his collegiate decision on January 31st live on the station. No word on the in-home visit Mack Brown had with the Jeffcoats on Wednesday, but there will be few details to emerge from the meeting. Jeffcoat is still expected to take his official visit to Oklahoma this weekend.
It turns out that Eric Humphrey was just a brief flash across the Texas recruiting radar -- the Dallas Episcopal defensive end/tackle will cross over the Red River and become an Oklahoma Sooner, only days after seriously considering a commitment to Texas Tech. For the Longhorns, several factors played into Humphrey's eventual decision. First of all, the Longhorns were not quite quick enough to secure an official visit from Humphrey, whose stock blew up around Thanksgiving after the release of his senior film. The other factor was the scholarship situation for Texas, as the numbers got tight after the commitment of Mike Davis. With the transfer of Marcus Davis and the dismissal of Brandon Collins in the last week, it began to look like there might have been enough room for Humphrey. It's also worth pointing out that it was never clear just how interested Humphrey was in Texas.
It's coming down to the wire for 2010 linebacker Jordan Hicks, who hopes to make his commitment in the coming weeks. The next several days may have a big impact on that eventual decision, as Hicks will receive in-home visits Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from his three finalists -- Ohio State, Florida, and Texas. Even though Mack Brown has already taken his in-home visit with Hicks, Texas will have the final word in Hicks' recruitment, as Will Muschamp will visit with Hicks on Saturday, while Jim Tressel will visit for Ohio State and Steve Addazio, Scott Loeffler, and the new Florida linebackers coach will visit as representatives of the Gators. The interesting thing here, of course, is that Urban Meyer will not be making the trip, perhaps realizing that it's up to Addazio to sell the program to Hicks. Hicks gives the expected vague answers about where his three finalists currently stand, but the combination of losing Charlie Strong and the uncertainty surrounding Urban Meyer probably puts Texas in the lead as rumors swirl about his desire to spent his college years in warmer weather than Ohio. If that is truly the case, there's a strong chance that Hicks becomes a Longhorn in the next two weeks.
After being arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and driving while intoxicated, Marcus Davis has decided to transfer from the University of Texas. He had been suspended since his arrest. The Longhorns aren't suffering from a lack of depth at defensive back and will lose only Deon Beasley, who did not play much this season. However, Earl Thomas could turn pro and both Browns will graduate after next season, along with the possibility that Aaron Williams could leave early. The loss of Davis will likely be felt the most when Williams leaves, as Davis was the likely candidate to replace AW at the nickel back position, crucial to the Texas defense as they face spread offenses every week. The Longhorns will now have to find a new replacement for Williams. Davis' transfer is helpful in that it opens up a scholarship, potential letting the Longhorns add another player to the 2010 class, with the two main possibilities being Dallas Episcopal defensive end/defensive tackle Eric Humphrey or Lancaster's Tyler Stephenson, a talented and speedy corner committed to Baylor who recently called Duane Akina expressing his interest in the Texas program. In other news, sophomore defensive end Russell Carter is ineligible for the game after bombing a final. Carter was not expected to play in the national championship game.
It hasn't been easy for Texas to recruit Dallas Skyline high school, a hotbed of recruiting. Securing a commitment from Christian Scott was a major victory and now the addition of wide receive Mike Davis may help the Longhorns secure a foothold in the talent-rich school, which features several top 2011 recruits and Corey Nelson, who may take a visit to Austin. As a player ,Davis is known for his sharp route-running and ability to make defenders miss in the open field, particularly in the screen game. As someone mentioned in the FanShot noting the commitment, at least Adrian White doesn't have to worry about defending any more, as Davis burned White for two monster games in each of the last two seasons. While Davis does have excellent burst and a strong first step, the major concern is about his top-end speed, which is less than elite. The major question is how Davis' commitment will influence the recruitment of Darius White, as the Longhorns now have four or five receivers in the 2010 class, depending on where DeMarco Cobbs ends up. Given White's talent, there is probably still room for him in the class and further thoughts over the following days will help try to flesh out the implications.
Florida will get the last word with Jordan Hicks as he takes his last official visit this weekend, but Mack Brown will help keep the Longhorns near the forefront of his mind with an expected in-home visit with Hicks Wednesday. Perhaps even bigger news is that Florida defensive coordinator Charlie Strong, who also coaches the linebackers, will accept the Lousiville coaching job. Scipio Tex sees it as a big break and though it probably won't eliminate the Gators, there's little doubt that it strikes a blow to their efforts, as Hicks will have little time to establish a relationship with the new defensive coordinator. Hicks does have an excellent relationship with Will Muschamp and Texas' position is strengthened by the relationship between his mother and Jeff Madden, with whom she worked at Colorado. If the departure of Charlie Strong does in fact weaken Florida's position enough to take them out of the running, the fact that Hicks' mother plans on moving if he attends school out-of-state probably helps the Longhorns as well. After all, Austin weather has to look pretty appealing in the midst of an Ohio winter.

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - The state of Vermont has been working for years to improve cellphone coverage and now testing is underway to determine how successful those efforts have been.
Mike Ray and Jo Wilson of the Colorado company Pericle Communications spend their days driving the roads of Vermont with five cellphones mounted in coolers on the roof of their vehicle.
The company was hired by the state with help from a federal grant to measure cellphone signal strength in different parts of the state.
Ray tells Vermont Public Radio computer modeling could estimate cell strength in different locations, but the only way to know for sure is to try it.
The state's goal is to ensure the major carriers are providing service to all of Vermont's interstates and well-traveled state highways.

Index insurance policies, which return depending on how well an index such as the S&P 500 or Dow Jones does, have been available for only 18 years, and still stump even the producers selling the product. To help solve this problem, Genworth Financial today launched The Index Institute, a virtual community, to offer their producers training, market insights, presentations, product information, and sales ideas.
"These products may appear to be somewhat mystical," says Charlie Gipple, national director of Index Products at Genworth, during a webinar. "Which is why we developed The Index Institute to teach advisors and these agents how these products work, how to sell these products and what consumers are [challenged] with today."
[More ways life insurers are making it easier for producers to do business]
President of U.S. Life Distribution & Marketing at Genworth, Pat Foley, adds, "During extensive research with producers, they told us they needed resources to more easily help them bring the benefits of index products to their clients."
Genworth's Index Universal Life insurance business, which is pegged to the S&P 500, has gone from $330 million in 2006 to $1.5 billion in 2012. Read how technology supported the launch of the product.

The Bailout Seheme Sold As An "Emergency" Has Become "Hurry Up And Wait
One of the tactics of high pressure selling is to set a deadline, and make it clear if you don't chose the offer by the date set, you lose it. The strategy fuels a sense of urgency to get buyers to make decisions without seeking advice or doing too much thinking. Some time, a bribe or a threat adds pressure to create a sense of disorientation. Recall President Bush's ultimatum to Saddam Hussein and his sons. They were given 48 hours to get out of town. Or else! Does anyone really think that had they left, they would have been left alone?
The strategy to get the bailout passed came from this same playbook. First, the President warned of an armageddon. ""This is the first time in the history of the United States that the president has sought to provoke a financial panic to get legislation through Congress," says economist Dean Baker." "While this has proven to be a successful political strategy, it marks yet another low point in American politics. It was incredibly irresponsible for President Bush to tell the American people on national television that the country could be facing another Great Depression. By contrast, when we actually were in the Great Depression, President Roosevelt said that, 'we have nothing to fear, but fear itself.'"
Then Secretary Paulson and Federal Reserve Bank Chairman brought their power points to the hill in an unsually alarmist nighttime hush-hush meeting to "prove" that unless Congress acted, the whole system would melt down. They argued something had to be done and they just happen to have that "something" with them: a three page EMERGENCY PLAN for a mere $700 billiom that had to be passed now!
When Speake Nancy Pelosi wanted to add a role for Bankruptcy courts to adjudicate foreclosures, she was shot down. Paulson, even went down on his knees to beg her to withdraw the idea because it was complicating his "clean" proposal.
Has anyone looked into who was pushing this, at the role of China which demanded to be "made whole" on its loans and investments, or who would benefit the most.? Nah. Did the media hold debates featuring the more than 400 top economists, including two Nobel Prize winners who opposed this "Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008." Nope.
To add extra anxiety to the process, ir was suddenly announced that a military unit trained in crowd control was being brought back from Iraq to prepare to contain expected civil unrest.. Congressman Brad Sherman of California's 27th congressional district told the House that he personally knew of several Congressional representatives who have said they were threatened with the prospect of all out martial law should they vote in opposition to the $700 billion bailout.
Well, we know what happened the first time around. The House divided as grew the bill to l06 pages. Some Republicans characterized Wall Street's own Hank Paulson as a secret Communist who wanted to socialize the economy. Some Dems raved at the injustice of it all. The bill went down in defeat.
Then the full court press was on. The White House and its political operatives went to work to find out what the "rebels" wanted to change their votes,. The "Maverick" McCain was pressed into action to rope in his supporters. Obama was given the job of pacifying the Black Congressional Caucus. Favors were traded and promises of generous earmarks followed. The Senate then, in an unusual maneuver was ordered to vote first to persuade the House. Their Bill suddenly grew to 451 pages with some $150 BILLION in tax cuts and special add-ons.
Writing in New York's Daily News, a disgusted Juan Gonzalez said "you can't make this up." He reported, " senators packed the bill with scores of lavish goodies to please favored groups and win support from opponents in today's House vote.
Take, for instance, Section 305 of the 450-page bill, "Modifications of Energy Efficient Appliance Credit."
It runs several pages long and contains separate sections for "dishwashers," "clothes washers" and "refrigerators."
The bill says manufacturers of energy-efficient appliances will qualify for up to $250 in federal tax credits for each machine they produce over the next three years. Total cost to taxpayers: $322 million over 10 years.
In case your refrigerator is on the blink, you should note the bill says nothing about passing any savings on to the consumer."
Now members of Congress in tight races has goodies to brag about. Others said they voted while holding their noses but only because they didn't want to be accused of fiddling while Rome burned. You didn't get a sense that most members believed the measure was needed or workable. But that didn't stop them from voting as instructed. A few believed in the bailout; others knew they had sold out.
What an "emergency, " The House was persuaded, lobbied, cajoled and then bought to pass the bill. There were no hearings, no testimony. No sooner was it passed than President Bush signed it before sundown in his latest shock and awe maneuver. A day later, he acknowledged that nothing would happen immediately-despite the urgency that drove the process. In his weekly radio address, he admitted., "While these efforts will be effective, they will also take time to implement,"
There was another reaction, and not the one we had been told to expect. The grateful markets did not go up as we had been led to expect they would. No, they went DOWN. A report showing another big job loss led to a 157 point drop.
So what happens now, do the architects of Paulson's panacea expect that we will move forward with all deliberate speed? Think again. AP reports:
"Experts say the most important thing that needs to happen before the $700 billion bailout even has a chance of working: Home prices must stop falling. That would send a signal to banks that the worst has passed and it's safe to start doling out money again.
The problem is the lending freeze has made getting a mortgage loan tough for everyone except those with sterling credit. That means it will take several months or longer to pare down the glut of houses built when times were good – and those that have come on the market because of soaring foreclosures – before home prices start appreciating."
So, we have gone from hurry up to business as usual. The rush is over. John McCain who threatened to veto all earmarks went along with the charade. Barack Obama said this is not the time to assess blame and played the role of a "responsible" leader-ie get along by going along, The tax payers are out a likely trillion dollars plus before this is done and there goes all the promises of new programs. The "Leave No Bankers Behind" Bill is now law.
Is the ""emergency" over? No way. In fact, mortgages are not the only problem even as the number of foreclosures grow with little relief in sight. There are a series of new crises lining up to implode: credit default swaps, mounting credit card defaults, commercial real estate, the auto industry etc. The housing market is still melting own, unemployment is up along with inflation and our members of Congress are back on the campaign trail boasting that they "did" something.

If you're going to put on a condom with your mouth, the first thing you need to do is choose the right condom. It's much harder to do this if your tongue has gone numb from nonoxynol-9. Having gotten that hurdle out of the way, the steps are as follows:
- Unroll the condom slightly so that there is enough room for you to grasp the tip firmly between your tongue and the roof of your mouth.
- Put the condom in your mouth, making sure it is not inside out and being careful not to bite it or tear it with your teeth.
- Holding the tip of the condom against the roof of your mouth (or the back of your front teeth), so that the air is pushed out of it, let the opening of the condom come out in front of your lips.
- Use your lips to guide the condom onto the tip of your partner's penis, and slowly push down with your lips and/or hands.

Fall Wedding Ideas
See More From This Wedding (image credit: Chris Isham Photography)
When planing a fall wedding it is so easy to get to get overwhelmed and not know exactly what direction to go in. Here are a few fall wedding ideas for a rustic wedding to help you focus your thoughts and start planning a fall wedding that will reflect your style. I know so many brides who start to plan a fall wedding and begin to throw everything fall-like (leaves, apples, pumpkins, harvest colors) into the wedding decor which can start to look cluttered and actually lose some of it beauty. Sometimes the less is more theory works really well for a wedding and I really feel that idea works great for the fall wedding decor.
Pick A Great Location
We all know that picking the location is half the battle in wedding planning but when you are planning a rustic fall wedding I always suggest you look for a place that has both indoor and outdoor options. Fall temperature can swing anywhere between extremely hot and very cold. The Huron Substation in Los Angeles is a great example of the type of location I think would work for a fall wedding. With both an indoor area complete with old barn doors and built in 1906, this space also offers a courtyard area which can be dressed up for the fall season.

Head To The Farmer's Market
There are farmer's markets located all over the country which are a great resource for things like pumpkins and apples. Instead of flowers think of having your centerpieces filled with fall favorites. We all know that pumpkins come in orange but there are also "Boo Pumpkins" which are all white and when stacked up in a vintage style vase they are stunning.

An Apple A Day

Think about using apples as your place card holder. Guests will be charmed by both the practically of it but also that they get to take home a little taste of fall. Using apples as a place card holder is also a really great DIY project that is fun to do with your bridesmaids leading up to the big day.

Pie, the ultimate comfort food and seems to be synonymous with the fall season is one of the hottest trends out there right now in wedding desserts. Think about having a full "pie bar" where guests can pick their favorite flavor or end the evening by giving all your guest a mini pie to take home. These mini pies come from I Heart Pie in LA and are just so sweet and your guest will not be disappointed!

Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form?
I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having trouble finding one?
Thanks a lot!

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Another southern Indiana town hopes it has found the solution to crush pill mills. Council members in Georgetown called a special meeting for this afternoon.
They plan to consider a twelve month moratorium on pain management clinics. The Floyd County Plan Commission passed the same measure last night.
It comes just weeks after Jeffersonville city leaders forced the Clark County Wellness Center to close. Authorities say Doctor Lea Marlow was overprescribing oxycodone.
Some say the prescription pill problem crossed the river when Kentucky passed new laws regulating the industry last year.

One of North Avenue's strategic initiatives in the coming years is the development of "whole Gospel small groups." We hope that small groups have elements of evangelism and mission, prayer and worship, and Bible study and fellowship. North Avenue's Small Group Ministry is active and always growing–which is why all of the individual groups are not listed here. We've created a few small groups categories to help you decide which might appeal to you most. We want to help you find a place for you to worship, grow, and go with other people seeking Jesus. We want everyone at North Avenue to be a part of a small group, something we believe to be an important part of faith development and an integral part of learning about and being a part of Christian community. Contact Kay Carlson at firstname.lastname@example.com to connect to a group (even if you have no idea what you're looking for, Kay can help direct you to the right group!).

Phil Spector: The 'Mad Genius' of Rock'n'Roll
'Yes, I Do'
Prosecutors then turned their attention to the night of Lana Clarkson's death and the events that led up to her meeting Spector. Rommie Davis was Spector's first date that night. They are old friends and former classmates at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles, class of 1957. He had taken her to dinner that evening at the Grill on the Alley in Beverly Hills, during which time he'd ordered two daiquiris.
On the stand, Davis would not say for certain that her old friend was drunk that night. "I am not an expert on alcoholism and what constitutes being drunk," she testified. She explained, "I've never been drunk in my life." But she did say that Spector "was not his usual self."
During a lunch break in the trial, Davis greeted Spector after the jury was out of the courtroom. They spoke for a minute or so, and it appeared to be a friendly exchange.
Spector's next date on the night in question was Kathy Sullivan, a friend of Spector's and a waitress at the Grill on the Alley. She was not working that night but was at the Grill having dinner with a friend. According to Sullivan's testimony, Spector sent a message to her table, asking her if she'd like to go out for a drink. Together they went to nearby Trader Vic's, where he ordered two Navy grogs, a cocktail that contains fruit juices and three ounces of different kinds of rum, then to Dan Tana's, where he ordered two daiquiris and a salad that he didn't finish. Their last stop was the House of Blues in West Hollywood, where he ordered straight rum.
Sullivan testified that Spector didn't seem drunk and was well behaved while she was with him. She also testified that he had tipped generously that night—$150 on a $44 tab at Trader Vic's and $450 on a $13 bill at the House of Blues.
Sullivan told the jury that Spector encountered Lana Clarkson at the House of Blues where she worked as a hostess. Spector, who is 5' 4," twice tried to enter the Foundation Room, the club's VIP area, and both times Clarkson, who was 5' 11," stopped him because a private party was taking place there. "' You can't come in here,'" she told him.
"'Do you know who I am?'" Spector said.
When she learned that he was the famed producer who had worked with many of the great artists of rock and roll, including the Beatles, "She said, 'Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Spector, come on in. My name is Lana,' blah, blah, blah," Sullivan testified.
As reported on CourtTV.com, when Sullivan asked for water at the House of Blues instead of an alcoholic drink, Spector "ordered her to leave the club and had Clarkson walk her to the Mercedes."
Sullivan testified that she felt humiliated, and as she walked with Clarkson to Spector's car, she told the actress, "'You don't have to do this?'"
According to Sullivan, Clarkson replied, "'Yes, I do.'"
Deputy District Attorney Alan Jackson asked Sullivan, "Did she appear to be following orders that were given by Mr. Spector?"
"That's what I thought," Sullivan answered.
Sullivan later testified that Spector had never pointed a gun at her or tried to hold her against her will, but on one occasion he had escorted her from his home to her car with a rifle or a shotgun—she wasn't sure which—to ensure her safety. He was wearing a plaid jacket at the time. "He looked like Elmer Fudd," Sullivan testified, eliciting laughter from the jury.
She told the jury that she had seen him handle a gun on another occasion at his mansion but didn't feel threatened. She characterized her relationship with him as being more like that of a father and daughter.

Just a day after Christmas and the Salvation Army is making its final push. In November, the Quad City Area chapter set a goal to raise $725,000 for its annual red kettle campaign, but it is far short of that. Even though the group is still about $100,000 short of its goal, they are hopeful they can raise the amount.

Exciting times ahead for Biggin Hill motorbike star
Updated 3:29pm Tuesday 4th March 2014 in Sport
Biggin Hill motorbike racer Carl Stevens is poised to make his debut in the British Superbike paddock in the Ducati Tri-Options Cup.
After two seasons competing on a Kawasaki 300 at club level, Stevens will be racing in the fully televised series throughout the UK and with one round in the Netherlands, which will be a huge step up for him and shown live on British Eurosport.

I have been uninsured for years, and have been in the "application" process for public health care for quite some time now.
It gets to a certain point, then you start thinking, "shouldn't someone who is sick or injured just be able to be treated and get better?"
In the meantime I'm paying off 3 different emergency room bills.

The High Court of Justice on Sunday rejected a petition regarding a group of
Eritrean migrants who had been waiting on the Egyptian side of the Sinai border
From the group of 21 migrants, 18 were deported. Three were
allowed entry; this was done out of goodwill and humanitarian concerns,
according to the government, and not out of a recognition of any international
law obligations.
It was unclear what the court could do since the 18
migrants' fate had already been decided and resolved by the
As a result, the court dismissed the petition.
petitioners were furious that the government had taken action after the initial
court hearing on Thursday and before the court could rule on Sunday.
demanded that the government at the very least give an accounting of how it had
made its decision, what happened to the deportees and address any potential
violations of the migrants' rights through the deportation.
petitioners asserted that the migrants' rights had been violated and that the
government had thrown them into a dangerous situation in Egypt without any
thought for their welfare.
However, the court did not want to stake out a
position on any of the issues before it, and decided not to address the issues
for any future similar events, in light of the fact that the migrants' fate for
which the petition was filed was now beyond the power of the
Moreover, the court instructed the petitioners that if they wished
a report from the government, they first needed to approach the government, and
only afterward could they check if there was a basis to file a new petition to
the court on that issue.

Review: 3.5 out of 5
In the South, BBQ is more than a hunk of smoked meat. It's a way of life. Tonight I visited D.B.A. Barbecue in Decatur, and my first impressions are mixed.
Starting with the appetizer, I can't stand onion rings whose batter falls off after your first bite. Unfortunately these rings did just that. Fried nice and golden, but the batter just wasn't doing it for me. The "D.B.A. Sauce" turned out to be more water than sauce with much less punch than ketchup.
The wet Carolina-style spare ribs (1/2 rack, $12) are why I give this place 3.5 stars. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and had a wonderful smoked flavor. On the table there was a sweet sauce that I used on the ribs and that was quite good. As for sides, the three-cheese-macaroni and coleslaw were flavorless and very dissapointing considering I'm a sucker for mac-and-cheese.
So appetizer and sides weren't that great but the ribs certainly were. I'll have to come back to get a better read on this place.

James Bond's actual Aston Martin DB5 as driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger and Thunderball to be auctioned by world's largest collector car auction house, 27th October in London, UK
PAY ATTENTION, BOND FANS!

Louisiana's legislative auditor has released several reports tracking accountability and transparency in Louisiana government. One of the audits reviewed spending practices in the small town of Independence in Tangipahoa Parish.
The findings run down several issues, including a city employee who allegedly used hundreds of dollars of taxpayer money to fill up a personal vehicle, and a town credit card bill for hundreds more at a casino that had no documentation to support it.
In all, the audit includes 13 findings that cited problems in the town's fiscal operations in 2012.
According to the report, employees allegedly used town fuel cards to fill their personal vehicles. Mayor Michael Ragusa tells FOX 8 that one person admitted to racking up more than $500 in fuel and was suspended at the time.
You can read the Independence report and several others at the legislative auditor's web site.

Over here we had a far worse case of sexual abuse of children with not just one but many teachers actively involved. Here the issue seems to have been passive tolerance of other teachers.
I am the first one to emphasize that structural problems are often more important than individual actions but I fail to see what good crushing this football program achieves. It seems more like the usual steamy activism which is often fueled, to use your point from the gun debate, by a hysterical media.
Perhaps I am a rare idiot but to me it seems as if sexual violence or violence in general is tolerated in many places. People look away everywhere and perhaps ironically partly precisely because of this victim logic. To use my example about the mildly inappropriately behaving teacher who was just transferred from school to school, nobody wanted to the right thing, i.e. crush him and end his career, because of this false sensitivity "oh, I do not wanna be responsible for his suffering, I do not wanna make him a victim".
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - The Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission has awarded its highest honor to a Harlan County couple who revived an environmental education program.
The commission says in a news release that more than 75,000 students have passed through Pine Mountain Settlement School since it was taken over by Ben and Pat Begley in 1987. The Begleys have been presented with the commission's 17th annual Biological Diversity Protection Award.
The award is for "individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to the discovery or protection of Kentucky's biological diversity," according to the commission.
The Begleys took over the school after it had been dormant for 15 years. They also led two annual spring wildflower weekends and one fall color weekend, and a forest study workshop.

They claimed right-hander Chris Lambert off waivers from the Detroit Tigers today and assigned him to Triple-A Norfolk.
Lambert was 0-1 with a 14.85 ERA in two games with the Tigers this season, and he's 1-3 with a 7.90 ERA in 10 career games in the majors.
Lambert, 26, went 6-7 with a 3.55 ERA with Triple-A Toledo this year. He's 40-41 with a 4.40 ERA in 142 career games in the minors.
The Cardinals selected Lambert in the first round (19th pick) of the 2004 draft.
Lambert, a 26-year-old righty, allowed 121 hits and 31 walks in 126.2 innings at Triple A Toledo, striking out 106. His major league ERA this year is 14.85 in just two appearances, but his minor league ERA is a quarter of that.
AAAA type or solid prospect? I know the Tigers are awash in pitching but I can't imagine they'd let go someone with a whole lot of promise.

Ah, Thanksgiving – a busy, often frenetic "holiday" of crowded supermarkets, lines at airports, traffic jams and endless cooking, frequently tinged with anxiety over potential culinary calamities and possible clashes among dinner guests.
At the same time, Thanksgiving can also mean genuinely enjoyable feasting and fellowship.
And no matter what challenges and joys Thanksgiving may bring, it may be well to pause a moment to remember the reason for the holiday.
Almost any school child can tell you it commemorates the first harvest feasts shared by the Pilgrims and Native Americans at Plymouth colony.
When Abraham Lincoln made it a national holiday in 1863, he proclaimed it "a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens." We've become a more secular nation since then, but we still enjoy many blessings for which Thanksgiving provides an occasion for us to offer thanks.
So, as editor of El Cerrito Patch, I want to thank our readers in El Cerrito, Kensington and beyond. I want to thank you not only for being readers but also for often being active contributors.
Your comments on articles, news tips, letters to the editor, guest columns, guest features, event listings, announcements, posts and "likes" on our Facebook page, photos, occasional videos, reviews and ratings of businesses in our directory, suggestions, corrections, kind words and even criticisms have combined as the active ingredients that give the site its vitality and richness.
I hear from a number of people who thank me and say they value and appreciate El Cerrito Patch. Certainly, such comments are pleasing to me personally, but I also recognize that I am a kind of combined custodian, clerk and mirror – maintaining an active forum for community communication and reporting and reflecting what our community has to offer.
So before my thoughts return to stuffed turkey, sweet potatoes and pecan pie, I want to say, "Thank you, El Cerrito Patch readers!"
And I want to invite any of you to share in the comments anything you would like to take a moment today to give thanks for.

During the Independence Day holiday weekend, Pennsylvania State Police arrested 35 people for driving while under the influence and issued 932 traffic citations on highways in Philadelphia, Delaware and Montgomery counties.
A Northeast Philadelphia woman died in a two-vehicle crash at a Crescentville intersection last Thursday morning.
The state Senate Transportation Committee last week held a hearing at the Pennsylvania Convention Center to consider legislation sponsored by Sen. Mike Stack that would allow Philadelphia to use automated cameras to enforce speed limits along Roosevelt Boulevard.
State police covering Philadelphia, Delaware and Montgomery counties reported that there were zero traffic fatalities in the territory during the Easter holiday enforcement period, but troopers issued 577 traffic citations, including 35 for driving while under the influence.
An SUV struck and killed an elderly woman who was trying to walk across a busy Northeast street during afternoon rush hour on March 25.
Nick Cinciruk may be inheriting a lot of problems, but one of them isn't a shortage of work. As the city's new district traffic engineer for the Northeast, Cinciruk already has a desk full of complaints from citizens who insist that local roads aren't up to snuff.
Authorities have yet to release the names of two dead bodies who were discovered inside a burnt-out minivan in Frankford early Saturday.
A 36-year-old Castor Gardens woman died early Sunday of injuries she received in a two-car accident involving a vehicle that was traveling northbound in the southbound center lanes of the 7400 block of the Roosevelt Boulevard.

First responders with Panama City Beach Police's Beach and Surf Patrol have new equipment.
"It's really nice to have nice new equipment that you know everything is gonna work correctly," said Allison Marshall with Beach and Surf Patrol. She says she is grateful for the new tools she and others use on a daily basis.
"My favorite, the waterproof radios," said Marshall. "We can actually take them out in the water while we're training now so we can pay attention to the radio now."
The submersible radios are not just helpful but a first for Beach and Surf Patrol.
"We've never had them before," said Marshall. "So always when it was pouring rain and we're out there changing flags, we kinda like put our rain gear over everything so you're struggling trying to listen while the wind is blowing 30 miles per hour because you're trying to shelter your radio from everything that's going on out there."
Thanks to a nearly $29,000 grant by the Fireshouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, patrol is seeing more than just radios, but a variety of new equipment.
"It's a lot easier now to transport somebody without having to throw everything out first because we have these great bed slides," said Marshall.
They have new automated external defibrillators, rescue boards, along with rescue bags and vests.
"It's most certainty necessary equipment," said Lt. Rich McClanahan with the Panama City Beach Police Department. "A lot of the equipment gets used so much just being out in the weather, it gets worn down so fast and it replaces a lot of the older equipment."
The grant from Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation is a huge help to the department's budget and effort to continue serving the city that sees 6.4 million people each year.
"The police departments budget you know is funded by you know different sources, tax payers and business," said Lt. McClanahan. "Something like this relieves a strain and a budgetary burden."
Meanwhile, over the bridge in Lynn Haven, there are some new areas showcasing some new decor.
Thanks to the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, new automated external defribilators, or AED's, are now available at four different locations throughout the city
Chief John Delonjay with lLnn Haven Fire and Emergency Services wanted these life saving machines because it helps make the community safer.
Chief Delonjay says sudden cardiac arrest claims more than 250,000 lives in the United States; one every two minutes.
But AED's are a tool that can help save those wo are experiencing such condition.
The city has already received four of them worth $6,500 and have them put in place at heavy populated areas.

A proposal that would allow handgun carry permit holders to store firearms in their vehicles no matter where they are parked is headed for a vote on the Senate floor.
The Senate Judiciary Committee passed its version of the bill 8-0 on Tuesday. It's now being scheduled for a full Senate vote and could be on the Senate floor later this week.
"If they are denied to have that weapon, should they choose to have one in their automobile while at work, then they are denied the right for self protection to and from work," said State Sen. Jack Johnson, R-Franklin.
The measure backed by the National Rifle Association failed last year amid property rights arguments made by the business community. The NRA and other gun rights advocates blamed House Republican Caucus Chairwoman Debra Maggart for the bill's failure and bankrolled a successful effort to oust her in the primary.
It's an issue that has caused a lot of controversy at the legislature, and Gov. Bill Haslam has expressed concerns in the past about allowing guns anywhere on college campuses.
Bill Ozier, chairman of the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said the proposal is better than last year's but still needs specifics.
Some business groups say this bill could impact future job growth in the state and corporate relocations into Tennessee.
"This is a subject that's important to them, and when they decide if they are going to expand a new operation, they might look at another state that's not as gun friendly," Ozier said.
But lawmakers said it's important to protect the legal permit holders who may be carrying their guns anyway.
"When you pull into a grocery store parking lot, or stop at your favorite fast food restaurant, or look for a parking lot at the mall before Christmas, it's a pretty safe bet that there are cars around you that belong to carry permit holders and there may be weapons in those cars," Johnson said.
Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey is sponsoring the bill, and he said he would like for it to move to a vote in the Senate very soon.

Ray Allen is the NBA's all-time leader in three-pointers made, but in these playoffs, he is shooting just 26 percent from downtown. His ankle injury has been preventing him from being himself, and at this point, it's depressing to watch.
Opponents realize it too, which is also depressing. Consider how Shane Battier guarded this play. As you can see here, he's more concerned with defending Kevin Garnett at the free-throw line than Allen from beyond the arc. He's not even looking at Allen here.
Allen therefore popped open for three, but he missed. It's amazing how little respect Battier is paying to him.
