Registration is OPEN for the 10th Annual Steve Haydu St. Patrick's Lo Tide Run
The 10th Annual Steve Haydu St. Patrick's Lo Tide Run is back again in Carolina Beach on March 15, 2014. Early race registration is currently open through March 1 for the 5K and 10K at www.lotiderun.org/. The cost to register early is $30 for the 5K/10K or $25 with a military or student ID. After March 1, the cost to register increases to $35. T-shirts are only guaranteed to those who pre-register, so don't hesitate, because this year's design will be a must have! A popular registration option is creating or joining a team, special awards are given for team spirit, size and fastest time. All proceeds from registration fees, sponsors and individual donors are distributed to recipients selected by the volunteer board of directors to assist local cancer victims in financial need. On March 19, 2005, the first St. Patrick's Lo-Tide Run was a wonderful success. Unfortunately, Steve lost his battle with cancer in May 2005, but this event lives on his name continuing to provide aid and financial support to area residents battling cancer. The recipients are New Hanover County residents diagnosed with cancer and are without medical insurance or in financial need. All donations are tax deductible. More than $53,000 was distributed directly to sixteen recipients from the proceeds of last year's race. The impact in their lives of getting much needed financial help from their community is worth running for.
The 10th annual race would not be possible without the continued support of our amazing sponsors, the growing number of participants, and our loyal volunteers.

This year's theme is based on Jules Verne's book, Around the World in 80 Days. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Cape Fear Literacy Council, a 501(c)3 public charity that serves adult learners in New Hanover and Pender Counties.
Spend the evening immersed in a Victorian-themed celebration inspired by the travels of the book's main character, Phileas Fogg, while raising funds to make literacy a reality for hundreds of adults in the Cape Fear region.

The proceeds from the Gala help make this vision a reality for its students. Gala tickets are $125 each. Reserved tables of 10 are $1,250.

Third Annual Step Up For Soldiers Backyard BBQ Cook-Off "Where the BBQ Meets the Beach"
Carolina Beach, NC - On Saturday, January 25, 2014 thirty teams will take to their grills, forks in hand, secret recipes folded and stashed in pockets, all for the glory of the title and the satisfaction of knowing they've helped to raise a significant amount of money for Step Up For Soldiers. The competition will start with a level playing field: everyone will have the same meats, be in the same location and have the same time constraints. But thrown into the mix will be individual rubs, sauces or marinades, grill temperatures and methods of cooking that will leave someone going home with braggin' rights for the next year.
The cook-off will be held at the lake in Carolina Beach at the junction of Lake Park Blvd. and Atlanta Avenue, and everyone is welcome. Admission is free. Tickets can be purchased to sample the BBQs after the double-blind judging is completed. There will be three bands; The Cut opens, next is local favorite Bibis Ellison and the headliner will be Wilmington's own Machine Gun. In addition, there will be raffles, arts and craft vendors plus more food and drink for purchase. Gates open at 9:30am and prizes will be awarded at 4:00pm. All to benefit Step Up For Soldiers.
This year Step Up is proud to announce a new project, "Soldier Build." Upon receiving a plot of land in the Monkey Junction area of Wilmington, NC, a plan began to build a transitional home for veterans - along with their families - who are attending local universities.
The house will be built along the lines of a Habitat for Humanity home (i.e. with hard work, sweat and determination), and Step Up For Soldiers is starting a donation program in order to supply the materials needed for the house and the overall project. Proceeds from this event will help to fund this project. In addition to monetary contributions, they are also seeking the assistance of licensed professionals who would be willing to donate their expertise. Step Up For Soldiers is an all-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of our disabled veterans and their families. Step Up For Soldiers was started in November 2004 by Tom Russell, a retired Port Authority police officer and Vietnam Vet. His intent was to assist wounded soldiers who were sent overseas in response to the 9/11 terrorist attack and he began with building wheelchair ramps for two soldiers who returned home paralyzed from the waist down.
The organization has increased from a single person to a small family of nine dedicated volunteers and continues to develop as it grows. Russell's goal is to help as many families of active and non-active duty soldiers as possible in the Fort Bragg to Camp Lejeune areas by modifying homes and providing other services to veteran and active duty soldiers. There is no better way to spend the day than tasting the best BBQ around, maybe eating some oysters or a burger, listening to great music and browsing through the goods from the arts and craft vendors while helping support such a deserving organization.

- Weyerhaeuser Reception Hall - Wilmington Sacred Harp Singers presents a traditional Sacred Harp Singing and invite you to join in the music. This dynamic form of a cappella social singing dates back to Colonial America, using a modern reprint of an 1844 songbook called The Sacred Harp. Sacred Harp and related shape-note styles are the oldest continuous singing traditions in the United States. Surviving as a living tradition in parts of the South, notably Georgia and Alabama, Sacred Harp music has been discovered by new generations of singers who have spread the heritage across North America and to Australia and Europe. The music is loud, vigorous and intense. It is meant to be sung, not just observed. No previous experience is necessary. Learn more about Sacred Harp singing at fasola.org and this singing at http://bit.ly/WilmNCSacredHarp. Held in collaboration with WHQR.

From Earth's orbit around the sun providing cycle of seasons, to the planet's rotation, creating the periodicity of day and night, to the very beat of the human heart, with systolic and diastolic movements of blood, existence is about the cadences of all things.

Canucks Finish off Predators in 6, move on to the Conference Finals for first time since 1994
It wasn't a picture perfect win, but it was a win nonetheless Monday night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The Canucks limited the Predators chances, en route to a gritty 2-1 win. Usually I'm not a big fan of sitting on a one goal lead for long periods of time, but if there ever was a time to do it, it was game 6 in Nashville. The ice surface was so poor that it was very difficult to make complete passes and hold pucks in the offensive zone. The puck looked like a bouncy ball out there, hopping and skipping around all over the place.
Concerning Stats Making Canuck Nation Uneasy Before Game 6 In Nashville
I'm sure you've heard by now, Henrik Sedin has 1 goal (an empty netter) in his last 18 games. Daniel Sedin has not scored since the Chicago series. Their plus-minus is a combined -14 in the postseason. Mason Raymond has zero goals.
Canucks best players lead the way, one win away from the conference finals
It's a cliché, but it's true: your best players need to be your best players. That's exactly what is carrying the Canucks right now, as they lead the Nashville Predators 3-1 and are one win away from advancing to the conference finals for the first time since 1994.
Canucks make adjustments in advance of game 3
Head coach Alain Vigneault tipped his hand on a few key adjustments at practice designed to improve the Canucks chances for a victory in game 3. Scoring two goals in 8 periods of hockey will do lend itself to that.
The Green Men are coming… to Nashville!
As we told you yesterday, the Nashville Predators have complained about the Canucks famed 'Green Men' and the NHL has taken action to curtail some of their actions. Most notably they won't be allowed to touch the glass next to the penalty box.
Leave the Green Men Alone!
It was revealed during the second intermission of yesterday's Canucks game on Hockey Night in Canada that the NHL has told the Green Men to knock off some of their antics beside the opposition penalty box. Apparently they've been told to not touch the glass. What's worse is that Glenn Healy agrees with them!
Where Has All the Goal Scoring Gone?
We're now two games into the Predators-Canucks series and it's become clear that goal scoring will be at a premium. Both teams have combined to score 2 goals each in 8 periods of hockey. A series for the ages? Not likely… So where has all the goal scoring gone? Well, in game 1 it was the Nashville Predators who failed to show up and rode the coattails of Pekka Rinne to keep them in the game. In game 2, it was the Canucks' turn to fail to show up through 60 minutes, putting up a pathetic 15 shots on goal. Meanwhile, Roberto Luongo stood on his head for 59 minutes, before letting in a stinker from behind the net.
The Higgins Barometer, Joel Ward Sucked, Reggie Bush Tweets Green Men and More!
One of the great things about this year's Canucks has been the way the players have absorbed each other's best qualities. Malhotra's faceoff skill, Ballard's hip checks, Sedin body positioning, and Bieksa's tenacious yet positionally sound defence have been picked up by the entire team. The stud in the shared skills stable though is certainly Kesler's sizzling every-inch-matters brand of intense puck pursuit. Even twinkle toed Mason Raymond has turned into a fore checking menace!
What scares you more: the Detroit Red Wings or Sami Salo Going Into the Corner?
Both have been keeping me up at night. Thankfully, Sami Salo is taking tonight off against the San Jose Sharks. The underrated Nolan Baumgartner will fill-in in his place. Did you know that 'Baumer' is a career +22 in 97 career games in a Canucks uniform? He's played in ten games this season and has been a minus player only once. So this is a good move for the oft-injured Salo. Every time he goes into the corner to retrieve a puck I'm worried that he's going to get injured. The "new Mitchell" has stepped up his game this year, and in my estimation has been the team's best d-man this season. He's also been remarkably healthy, which can only mean one thing: he's due. A Sami Salo injury, combined with Willie Mitchell's injury, could cause the Canucks to get bounced in the first round of the playoffs.

Our first 5 picks so far:
1. Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor
2. Zach Brown, OLB, UNC
3. Mike Martin, DT, Michigan
4. Coty Sensabaugh, CB, Clemson
5. Taylor Thompson, DE/TE, SMU
Been an interesting draft so far, especially the latest 2 picks in Sensabaugh and Thompson, who we traded up 10 spots for. Thompson, who is a DE/TE hybrid, has had conflicting reports on what position he will play for us. Seems like a really raw player.
The Titans have only one pick left in the draft, 6th rounder pick # 190. We still need help along our Interior o-line and Safety. There are a few good prospects left in both positions, with David Molk/Brewster and Markelle Martin/Iloka. It'll be interesting to see who the Titans take with this last pick.
Last point about this draft is that a lot of our picks this year have a single characteristic in common: athletecism. Lots of these guys are track stars and it'll be interesting to see how it'll transfer to the pros.

Upper Back Tattoos
Second, if you are a relatively small sized person, you will find that the upper back will give the perfect "fit" to the tattoo you want. Rather than trying to squeeze the design onto a smaller spot, such as wrapping it around the arm or leg when this only distracts from the design and doesn't produce the appearance you want it to have, it will be neater and clearer on your upper back. There will be plenty of space for your new tattoo to be applied and enjoyed exactly the way you want it to look.
In addition, you may have chosen a tattoo design that has a personal or special significance. You may want it to be solely for your own appreciation, and not readily visible to other people in public. In this instance, having it placed on your upper back will provide the general privacy you want for your personal design or wording. You will know it is there, even if no one else can see it.
Whether you want a huge set of wings, the private display of someone's name, or simply a larger area on which to wear your new design, you can have all of these benefits when your tattoo is placed on your upper back. Regardless of which reason is the most appropriate to your own personal needs and preferences, an upper back tattoo is sure to look great on you.

Cornflake girl
When I began blogging I thought perhaps my family and a few friends may read it. I even thought some people I didn't know might read too. Writing brings me great joy and I'm happy to share it on the blogosphere.
I have been lucky. I have some regular readers and have made some wonderful connections and real friendships, this was something I didn't even contemplate when I began. I have been to conferences, meet ups, brunches and emailed being asked to blog about products, services and community organisations. I have even said yes to some of those emails!
But, never, ever in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be a cornflake girl.
You see, many moons ago, before children and marriage there were three girls. My sister a friend and me. We lived close to each other and were finishing uni. We baked scones and had afternoon teas. We sat in the sun in each others yards. We danced into the wee small hours and walked the steep hill home in the bitter cold of Hobart winters. And through all this we had a soundtrack. A soundtrack that to this day peppers our conversations, keeps our memories alive, wraps us in the familiar and makes us laugh and cry and love.
Our soundtrack was Tori Amos. Her songs spoke to us. They still do. They are the warp and weft of our early twenties. When we were finding ourselves, falling in love and full of future promise. We have lasted distance, time and years.
So, when last Thursday I was invited to a brunch by Louisa of Brand Meets Blog and Kelloggs, I thought I may get a few cereal boxes to take home. Which I did… and my growing almost teen Blue Eyed Boy has been in cereal eating heaven since then. There were a number of other goodies too, and it was great to have a chance to speak with Kelloggs representatives and talk about concerns and give feedback, as well as eat a yummy brunch. But, what I didn't expect was to get my very own cornflake box. Complete with my face on it and my blog.
I am a cornflake girl… so now all that is left to do is ask: Rabbit… where'd you put the keys, girl?
Do you have an artist like Tori that floods you with memories?

Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga has informed the public that she does not want to oust President Museveni and she is not interested at all.
She issued a statement through the Parliament Public Relations office saying it is not true at all that she is involved in a power struggle with Museveni.
This comes amidst media attention to the fact that Museveni personally attacked both Kadaga and Prime Minister, Amama Mbabazi blaming them for the EALA mess.
After research, it was discovered that Ugandans would prefer First Lady, Janet Museveni and Speaker, Kadaga to succeed Museveni instead of Museveni going back into power. At the same time, they responded well to having Amama as NRM's flag bearer.
Despite the reports, Kadaga says she is not interested in the power.
The statement denied reports that the Speaker had tried to meet a visiting dignitary, His Royal Highness Prince Abdul Aziz Bin Abdullah of Saudi Arabia during his recent visit to the country, as part of her politicking.
"The insinuation that the Speaker solicits for appointments is belittling and degrading of the Speaker who is number three in order of precedence," said the statement read to the media by her publicist, Ms Ranny Ismail.
Kadaga is the NRM second national vice chairman while Mbabazi is the party's secretary general. The two, together with the President and other senior party officials, held a clear-the-air meeting at the President's country home in Rwakitura on Sunday.
A statement issued by the Presidency after the meeting said the party remains united.

BasicSafe PSM software provides you one location to store and access all your critical PSM Program information/records. BasicSafe provides a location to store, and in some cases create, your PSM Program information related to each of the 14 elements of PSM, as defined by OSHA. Each site can designate an overall PSM coordinator and an element coordinator can be designated for each of the 14 elements.
Ten of the BasicSafe PSM Program elements rely on consistent and simple filing structures and capabilities. These structures allow you to upload files for storage from nearly any file type. Once uploaded, you can set these files to notify you when it is time to audit or review them. This design standardization, in these ten PSM elements, reduces training and creates a look and feel that simplifies use. Simplified use of the PSM tools increases the likelihood that it will be used as required by regulations.
Four of the PSM elements are more interactive in their design. PSM Training, Management of Change (MOC), Incident Investigation, and Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR) are elements of PSM that BasicSafe has focused on developing in more detail due to the nature of these subjects. The PSM Module also utilizes the BasicSafe Action Module in conjunction with these tools.

responds: Exposure to sunlight will cause most
species of wood to darken, but the darkening is not
caused exclusively by UV radiation. Color changes
occur when the pigments within the wood oxidize.
This oxidation is caused not only by the "free
radicals" generated by UV radiation, but also by
the presence of oxygen. The UV absorbers found in
many finishes inhibit or partially block UV
radiation from reaching the wood, but since no
finish is totally impermeable to oxygen, the color
change will still occur, though more
To postpone the inevitable, I recommend using a
film-forming finish, which blocks oxygen
penetration much more effectively than a
penetrating finish. Make sure the finish contains a
UV "absorber," not a UV "inhibitor." UV inhibitors
are used to protect the finish film from UV
degradation, and do not protect the wood pigment
from UV exposure as effectively as UV

Need Help Unlocking Verizon 4S
Hello fello thevergians, I recently acquired a Verizon iPhone 4S via my cousin. I am currently using an htc one s through iwireless, a prepared subsidiary of both t mobile and AT&T. I know the 4s has both gsm and CDMA radios in in and I'm not too bothered that I more than likely wont get hspa service if I can make the switch.
What is the best way to unlock the phone without having to contact Verizon?


text: Every night I go to ESPN to see if they will play any Warrior highlights or at least talk about them! And what do i get?? Nothing! The Lakers, Kings, Sonics, Clippers (WEST COAST) all get highlights after every game, unlike us where we dont get any! And when we do its always a loss! I think all the sport channels dont show the respect that we deserve ! I'm just tired of seeing the Warriors never getting any coverage when they are just as good as LAL and the get coverage every day almost! Prolly Cause of Kobe and not the rest of the team!

It was in September 2001 that letters laced with anthrax powder were mailed to political and media targets in Florida, New York, and Washington. Five people died, and soon after, the anthrax vaccine was offered to military personnel. One that medical personnel knew could have side effects, but it was the best they had to offer at the time.
Now, Vaxgen, the maker of a new anthrax vaccine, announced on Monday that it has signed a contract with the government to produce 75 million doses over the next three years. Here's the best news. This new vaccine can be given after exposure or before.
"Once delivered to the stockpile, the intention is it will be held under the control of the Centers for Disease Control to have that vaccine available for emergency use if there is another release in the field like we had in September 2001," says Carmen Belan, Vaxgen.
The Vaxgen anthrax vaccine is expected to be available to the public eventually, but for now, it has not been approved yet by the FDA for anything other than use through the government.

As an old ass '80s thrasher and DJ who has owned or heard pretty much all obscure eighties thrash albums, I can tell you that the following are the only ones I still listen to fairly often these days:
Sacrifice: Forward to Termination (This is my favorite)
Rigor Mortis: Rigor Mortis (second favorite) and sometimes Rigor Mortis vs. the Earth
Testament: The New Order and The Legacy
Sacred Reich: Ignorance
Hallow's Eve: Tales of Terror
Flotsam and Jetsam: No Place for Disgrace and sometimes Doomsday for the Deceiver.
Nasty Savage: Nasty Savage
Bloodfeast: Face Fate and sometimes Chopping Block Blues
Possessed: Seven Churches, Beyond the Gates, and The Eyes of Horror
Then of course Megadeth and Slayer. I don't listen to Anthrax or Metallica anymore. Once in a great while I'll bust out "Feel the Fire" by Overkill.
EDIT: I forgot Forced Entry: Uncertain Future (this album RULES)

The Faculty of Engineering was one of the three founding faculties set up when the University was first established in 1912. The Faculty presently contains five core departments: Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.
Research Centres
In addition to the five teaching departments, 12 research centres were established pooling together like-minded talents within the Faculty to further research in specific areas that have high impact to the community. Research students admitted to the University are encouraged to take part in various research activities organised by the centres. These centres include:
High Completion Rate
The Faculty has devoted a vast amount of resources to teaching and research. Last year, the Faculty attracted over 1,600 applications for admission. At present, around 470 research students are in different stages of studies in the Faculty, making us one of the largest faculties in the University. Among those 120 research students recruited each year, 93% of them successfully secure studentships from the UGC funding during their 2 to 4 years of studies. The remaining 7% of our research students are reading their degrees on a part-time basis. The ratio of research graduates in relation to students recruited has been as high as 82% in recent years.
Strengths in Coursework
To help our research students in building a strong foundation in their research fields, the five departments provide a list of core and elective courses primarily for research students, and require them to complete the fundamentals before proceeding to the thesis writing stage. With that mixed mode principle, the Faculty has been very successful in achieving a high completion ratio in its research programme.
Awards and Financial Assistance
There are numerous opportunities for scholarships and fellowships applicable to our research students both within the University and from overseas research institutes and foundations. The University Postgraduate Fellowship (UPF) (please see "Awards and Financial Assistance" for details) is one of the new initiatives of the University to attract the talented few. The Hong Kong PhD Fellowship (HKPF) is also highly sought by engineering applicants. The success rate of engineering students obtaining the UPF and HKPF is very high. Starting from the year 2009-2010, the Faculty established the Engineering Postgraduate Fellowships (EPF) to award very distinguished engineering students. Supported by generous donation, academically strong engineering students also received scholarships from the Y S and Christabel Lung Postgraduate Scholarships for Engineering Students.
The Department of Civil Engineering has a history of over 95 years. It offers professional training courses for the purpose of obtaining corporate membership of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers and research degrees in both basic and applied research areas.

One month after the former New Hanover County Parks, Gardens and Senior Resources Center director filed a termination appeal, the county released a personnel matter update stating the appeal had been withdrawn.
Jim McDaniel, who began working for the county in March 2005, was terminated on Sept. 24, following a paid administrative suspension since Sept. 13. The county released an update of McDaniel�s status on Nov. 1.
A letter written by assistant county manager Tim Burgess, who is temporarily filling the position, was hand-delivered to McDaniel on Sept. 24, regarding pre-dismissal hearing findings and disciplinary action in response to a pre-dismissal hearing held on Thursday, Sept. 20.
�The allegations against you relate to a pattern and practice of creating a work environment that is intimidating, disrespectful, isolative, offensive, undermining, and non-confidential, when confidentiality is required,� Burgess stated in the letter.
Burgess also stated he had found evidence to support all of the claims except that McDaniel was isolative. Evidence included discussions and statements with eyewitnesses and McDaniel�s responses and comments during the pre-dismissal hearing.
�This should not be construed that the work environment was not isolative only that there was not enough evidence to support this allegation,� Burgess stated.
McDaniel was previously disciplined for anger management issues.
The letter also listed personnel policies and procedures, including appeal procedures.
McDaniel�s lawyer, Aileen Wu Viorel of Shipman and Wright, LLP, released a statement about McDaniel�s appeal withdrawal, but said the firm does not have further comment.
�I accept the situation I find myself and I do not wish to continue to put my wife, family and friends through any more emotional stress by continuing through a process which may or may not have an outcome I desire,� McDaniel stated. �I only wish to focus on our future together, but I�m proud of the accomplishment of the last seven years in regards to the Parks, Senior Resources and especially Airlie Gardens. I wish the county well and I appreciate Mr. Coudriet�s time and efforts he has afforded me in this process.�
The county release on Nov. 1 said the county considers the matter closed.
The position is not yet listed on the county website, www.nhc.gov.com.

First Amendment
Archdiocese wins injunction blocking contraception coverage requirement
By Victor Li
Dec 17, 2013, 02:38 pm CDT
This ruling gets the First exactly backwards. It's an establishment of religion, and diminishes the religious freedom of the patients.
By Greg Ohio on 2013 12 18, 8:45 am CDT
This was the only correct decision. I applaud Judge Cogan's thoughtful order.
The real shame is that the Obama Administration so lacks an appreciation of religious freedom that it would propose such a mandate in the first place. The mandate is an in-your-face use of raw governmental power against a religious tradition that Obama despises.
By Yankee on 2013 12 18, 11:09 am CDT
Greg Ohio, There were no patients involved in this lawsuit or decision. It's about employers and their employees.
By Leslie on 2013 12 18, 11:46 am CDT
Employees are patients, too.
By faddking on 2013 12 18, 2:54 pm CDT
Since when is contraception health care?
By Tim on 2013 12 18, 5:47 pm CDT
@ 5: You need a physician's prescription for options such as birth control pills, an IUD, Depo-Provera injections, or a diaphragm. OB/Gyn visits are not cheap—averaging about $100 a pop. So how much is "getting laid" on a routine basis worth to you? If insurance can't cover it because of religious zealots, it would be a shame if women had to peddle it on the streets….
By BMF on 2013 12 18, 6:24 pm CDT
@6 " religious zealots"??
That's quite a loaded term there.
Employees of Catholic institutions should be presumed to understand Catholic doctrine in this area. This doctrine has been around for a very long time.
By Yankee on 2013 12 19, 10:43 am CDT
@6 Coverage of OB/gyn visits is not in dispute here. They are covered. The $8,000 hearing aid my husband needs TO HEAR? Not covered. The braces all three of my kids needed? Not covered. The eyeglasses three out of five of us wear? Barely covered.
By Leslie on 2013 12 19, 10:49 am CDT
Yankee @ 7: There's always someone who will think something said is slanted in the wrong direction. in this case, "zealots" seemed not to have the derogatory connotation that "fanatics" and "fundamentalists" have acquired. That is all….
By BMF on 2013 12 19, 10:54 am CDT
How come the Church is all in favor of its own religious freedom but indifferent to those of its employees'?
By AndytheLawyer on 2013 12 19, 11:56 am CDT
If there are employees of a church that want to practice contraception they are free to do so. The church just doesn't want to subsidize it for them or make it available to them through the 'health' insurance.
By Tim on 2013 12 19, 12:02 pm CDT
@10 No one is denying anyone the right to use contraception. What these lawsuits are saying is that it is a blatant and alarming violation of the First Amendment to force religious employers to violate their beliefs. If this wasn't about contraception, more people would understand that what Obama is trying to do is truly frightening.
By Leslie on 2013 12 19, 12:03 pm CDT
@ 8: The issue here, though, is not as clear cut as the religious employers present it. For example: Even if the government suddenly decided, in the interest of equal treatment—"Okay, NOBODY'S birth control is covered under this plan"—would the employer be obligated to cover an OB/Gyn visit if it was incurred specifically to obtain a prescription birth control product? Under HIPPA privacy laws, the employer shouldn't be able to even make that sort of inquiry. And how far do we permit this to go? What if the employer's particular religion prohibits transfusions of blood? Or requires a plan that includes homeopathic remedies?
In most jurisdictions, employers—even religious employers—are not permitted to discriminate according to religion—or anything else—based on various flavors of "equal dignity" laws. (Especially if they receive any government funds.) In such cases, should an employer's religious views interfere with the employees' fundamental rights? Because the right to determine family issues, such as the use of birth control, ARE fundamental rights issues.
I'm not a happy camper about the plan's approach to eyeglasses and similar necessary medical devices, either. Why do disposable contact lenses—which are essentially a vanity product, IMO, often enjoy a higher percentage of insurer coverage? Should Americans be forced to subsidize the purchase of "Scooters" at 100%? Maybe if the Designer Eyeglass Lobby was as persistent as the Scooter Lobby, things would be different.
Don't get me started on prescription pricing, and whether the government should be able to dictate that you must take generics—unless you are willing to jump through hoops and do a ream of paperwork for two months to prove WHY this is not a good idea—medically.
And shouldn't people who insist on killing themselves slowly by smoking, drinking to excess, or other non-compliance with their doctor's advice be forced to pay a penalty? We could probably have the healthiest nation in the world if we taxed physician non-compliance, and gave people tax incentives for working out.
By BMF on 2013 12 19, 12:39 pm CDT
This doctrine has been around since the Inquisition, which ties into the reiigious zealot thingy.
By faddking on 2013 12 20, 4:37 pm CDT
@14 Actually, this doctrine existed a thousand years before the inquisition.
By Yankee on 2013 12 21, 8:23 am CDT
These cases are, at some level, about whether women are fully regarded as human beings. Whose religion matters, that of the institution or the patient? What if the Church of the Holy Cinderblock takes over a health care system?

Gov. McDonnell Statement on House of Delegates Finance Committee Passage of Transportation Funding and Reform Package
From the Governor's press office...
Governor Bob McDonnell issued the following statement after the House of Delegates Finance Committee passed legislation today that advances "The Virginia Roads to the Future" transportation and funding reform package.
"Today, our effort to enact a long-term solution to Virginia's transportation funding challenges took a major step forward. The House of Delegates Finance Committee voted on a bipartisan basis to advance our comprehensive transportation funding and reform package that will provide $3.1 billion in investments for our roads and rail over just the next five years, and create a safe, efficient and reliable transportation system throughout the Commonwealth. I am pleased that legislators from both parties voted in support of our plan. We all recognize that the time is now to improve transportation in Virginia. The can has been kicked for too long, and Virginians deserve a modern, well-funded transportation system that will get them to work and home on time, without delay. This first vote clearly demonstrates a growing, and bipartisan, consensus that transportation is a core function of government and our investments in building and maintaining our highways, transit systems and railroads is of utmost importance to the citizens of Virginia. Today marks the first positive step forward in our effort to enact a long overdue, long-term transportation funding solution. Now, I look forward to continuing to work with legislators in both chambers, and from both parties, to see this plan passed into law, and get traffic moving again in Virginia."

I have mole deep under cover in the SC athletic department. Let's call him ArrettGay IkeMay.
According to my source, here is the short list of candidates to replace Timmeh (in no particular order):
All of these guys have the character SC historically looks for in football and basketball head coaches.
Percy Miller
Matt Leinart
Elliot Spitzer
Brennan Carroll
Mark Furhman
OJ Simpson
Randy "Duke" Cunningham
This guy
Reggis Bush, Sr.
Rodney Guillory
Mike Brown (former head of FEMA)
I am actually going to miss Timmeh in the same way that SC fans miss Karl Dorrell.
