Sasquatch 2013!
::: Sasquatch! ::: Photo by Hilary Harris
Sometimes never is actually preferable to being late.
Since we are so far removed from Memorial Day weekend, I am not going to bore you with what was and what could have been. The Gorge, always a picturesque venue for any musical carnival that touches down upon its fairgrounds, seemed painfully empty at times. Don't worry, that didn't prevent concert-goers from turning it into landfill status long before the Postal Service played their final songs on Monday night.
Git R' Done, Mother Earth.
Were there fake natives (read: people dressed as Native Americans)? Of course, but there weren't that many. Did I hear more than one person singing R. Kelly's "Ignition(Remix)" on more than one occasion? Yes, we are talking about a four day overpriced cocktail party. Gimme some of that
choo choo beep beep.
To make a long story short, there were things I wish I didn't miss (Built to Spill, Red Fang, Death Grips, Alt-J) and there are things I will never forget
unless my genetic predisposition to alzheimer's and the like rob me of my memories. Let's go to the videotape that has been cleverly disguised as recollective transcribed jabbering:

So there you have it. A small slice of the Gorge over Memorial Day weekend. Next year Sasquatch will be happening on Memorial Day weekend and Fourth of July weekend. Festivals are getting jealous of Coachella, they want in on some of that thunder. In 2030, there will be no such thing as a "local concert." All musical experiences will be in festival form. A festival will happen every other weekend. All concerts will be sponsored by Bank of America, Zombie CISPA, NSA, Robotic Farmers Guild of America and The Dream Police (as envisioned by Cheap Trick, obviously). You heard it here first.

Those aspiring lawyers "on the bubble" for passing or failing the February bar exam may be in for a shock. The Boston Globe reports that a scoring error on the MBE "has changed results for thousands of aspiring lawyers and could affect whether some pass or fail the bar, according to the National Conference of Bar Examiners."
As if taking the exam and waiting for the results were not nerve-wracking enough.

Error affects results of national bar exam

If this is true, then there should be some sort of recourse of action that the Bar should be performing in order to rectify the situation. The unfairness of such an act is disgusting to me. My brother is eagerly awaiting his results from taking the test in Feb. Not only is the Bar a stressful test to take, it is also an expensive one to take. Some who are deserving to pass the Bar might deemed to be "failing" when he/she deserved to pass. And, that, in itself is completely wrong. How much more unfairness from the government should American citizens have to put up with?

Sean Marshall gave up a three-run home run to Angel Pagan in the ninth for his first blown save as a Red.
The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for the Reds and dropped them back under .500 at 9-10.
Homer Bailey went 6 1/3 innings and allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits. He walked two and struck out six. He threw 86 pitches, 55 strikes.
It was his third straight quality start.
Logan Ondrusek followed with 1 2/3 innings of perfect relief.
Jay Bruce went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer. Scott Rolen homered for the second straight game.
The Reds opened a 2-0 lead in the second. Brandon Phillips and Bruce led off with back-to-back singles. After a Chris Heisey pop up, Todd Frazier walked to load the bases. Devin Mesoraco got in a run with a rocket to deep center for a sac fly. Homer Bailey made it 2-0 with a single to right — his first hit of the year.
Bailey breezed through the first three innings.
Pablo Sandoval led off the fourth with a single. It extended his hitting streak to 19 games — a Giants franchise record to start the season. Buster Posey followed with walk. Bailey struck out Nate Schierholtz. But Brandon Belt singled to get Sandoval in.
Bailey served up a potential double play ball to Joaquin Arias. But Phillips had trouble getting it out of his glove. He flipped to Zack Cozart, who missed the bag at second. All hands safe.
Ryan Theriot followed with a sac fly to tie it.
The Reds took the lead back in the sixth. Phillips led off with an infield single. Bruce followed with high drive to right-center. From the way he left the batter's box, it didn't look like he thought he got it. But it just cleared the wall in front of the smokestacks. It was his fourth of the year.
The Giants cut the lead to 4-3 in the seventh. Arias led off with a double. Theriot singled. Pinch-hitter Gregor Blanco gout Arias in with a sac fly.
Bailey was lifted after allowing a single to Angel Pagan. Logan Ondrusek came on and got Melky Cabrera to pop out and Sandoval to ground out to strand the two runners.
Rolen, who entered as a double-switch in the top of the inning, led off the Reds' seventh with his second home run in as many at-bats.

One of the saltiest, sliest, most macho hombres ever to slap a bass guitar, Mike Watt truly is a breed unto himself. Raised in the hardscrabble port town of San Pedro, California, Watt taught himself bass and practically rewrote the book on it. His "thudstick" would be the dominant expressive element in two seminal college-rock bands: The Minutemen and fIREHOSE. After the latter dissolved in 1993, Watt cashed in some of his hard-earned artistic cred and cut a high-concept solo album, Ball-Hog or Tugboat (1995), that featured contributions from Eddie Vedder, Henry Rollins, Frank Black, J Mascis, and Dave Grohl, to name a few. Later, Watt toured with Porno for Pyros and joined The Stooges as the band's semi-permanent bassist. Not bad company, eh? Especially for a fashion-backward lug with the vocal range of a rhinoceros fart. That's Watt for you: He's a visionary musician, sure, but his appeal goes far beyond the sum of his accomplishments. He's iconic, timeless, a punk-rock Leonard Cohen. Currently touring the West Coast with his backup band, the Missingmen, Watt will embark on a European tour with The Stooges this summer. Have thudstick, will travel.

Haflinger Classic Boiled Wool Slippers 4 4
happy feet These slippers are great - simple design and toasty warm. I am especially happy that I bought them on sale. Thanks, Garnet Hill! October 15, 2014
wooly slippers I love Haflinger slippers. The brown is beautiful. This is my third pair in ten years, and I wear them every day. They are so well made. I usually order a size 39, but since these are offered in US sizes, I got a 9. The slippers arrived and are a size 40, but these turned out to be exactly the same size as my old 39s. Hope this helps. September 19, 2014
Favorite slippers My only problem with these slippers are that if you want/need them in the summer you cannot get them. I have been wearing them forever and if I wa wealthy I would get the pink pair too. My husband would have a cow, but my feet would be oh so happy! September 7, 2014
Love my slippers! I love these slippers! I get them in every color and design. Warm and comfortable....perfect for fall through spring August 21, 2014

Do these slippers have the same sole as the shirley dot and stripe slippers that you sold in the past?
I believe they had latex dots on the bottom. It would be helpful if you showed the shoes from a few angles.

Answer:These do not have the felt sole with dots as seen on similar Halflinger slippers sold previously. These have a textured rubber sole.

The new AutoFreeze feature lets you add separate effects chains to each track and tweak them later, if desired. A new 2-bar preroll feature makes it easy to come in on time when recording.
IMPORTANT: if you currently own AmpliTube for iPhone, upgrade to the latest version, and all AmpliTube Fender gear models are available as in-app purchase, either as a complete set or a-la-carte. This is recommended if you'd like to use the AmpliTube Fender models with your current AmpliTube app.

FedBizOpps.gov contractor under FBI investigation
The government is investigating allegations against Symplicity Corp. for allegedly accessing without permission the internal networks of two competitors in the education sector. Symplicity, which runs three governmentwide websites, denies any wrongdoing and calls the government's search warrant a one-sided justification for the investigation. Experts say the company could face suspension from new federal procurements.

Push for more suspension, debarments receives mixed reactions
Procurement experts say the increased use of this punishment is the "death penalty" for the vendors. Lawmakers say agencies need penalize bad actors more aggressively.

More vendors gaining relief from protests
GAO's latest report finds contractors have a 1-in-2 chance to gain some type of relief from agencies when they protest a solicitation. Agencies turning more to alternative dispute resolution to help solve complaints. Bid protests expected to increase in 2010.

Part 4: SBA's contracting practices under close scrutiny
In part 4 of Federal News Radio's investigative series "Discouraged and Disrespected at SBA," allegations of cronyism and conflict of interest in the acquisition process arise. Over the past year, lawmakers and auditors have raised concerns about the agency's acquisition practices. SBA officials deny the accusations and say they are strengthening their acquisition processes.

Federal contractor scrutiny on the rise
Justice's decision to join the False Claims Act lawsuit against Oracle is another signal that vendors are facing more oversight. This is the second time Oracle has come under litigation for allegedly overcharging the government. Experts say contractors need to be prepared for pre-award and post-award audits of GSA schedule contracts.

Tour Overview
Taking a couple of days to discover the many bounties of one of the most vibrant cities in South America, we spend the initial stages of this exciting tour in Lima; capital of Peru, and once the heart of the colonial Spanish New World empire. Today a massive, buzzing metropolis whose history stretches back to the times of the great Incan Empire, Lima offers no end of historic and cultural attraction, which means a busy and rewarding introduction to the features of special part of the world for us. We visit the archaeological capital of the Americas when we travel into Cuzco and gaze at huge Incan fortresses, sacrificial sites with detailed carvings and formidable ancient walls so well constructed that there exist no cracks between the gargantuan blocks for even moss to grow. Setting our bearings for the Urubamba Valley and the incomparable Machu Picchu, we follow picturesque hiking trails through rolling green hillside, alongside Andean snow-tipped peaks and amid the incredible Huchuyqosqo ruins, which lie atop an enormous plateau that overlooks the Sacred Valley of the Incas. We enjoy short excursions by rail and by sea, taking in Puno, a mainstay of Peruvian traditional lifestyle and the floating islands. In Bolivia, we find yet more fascinating relics and monuments dating from the Incan era and before and our exploration of the pilgrimage sites and small villages around Lake Titicaca yield valuable insight into Bolivian culture and heritage. We spend time in Copacabana, famous for its beaches, and in La Paz, one of the world's highest major cities and one that is situated in a bowl-shaped canyon, before immersing ourselves in yet more history at Tiahuanaco, an ancient ceremonial site constructed in 700AD by a people who disappeared off the face of the Earth, becoming one of the world's 'lost civilisations'.

This product was incredibly expensive. I was initially excited to try it because it is organic and contains natural ingredients. Unfortunately this broke me out into a terrible allergic reaction followed by the skin on my whole face getting dry and flaking off and then almost a month of breakouts. I was really disappointed. I wanted to like it, but unfortunately my skin did not.
There is nothing extraordinary about this moisturizer, except maybe the price tag. It's 100% organic so it smells nice (like fruit loops). Since it is made of all natural ingrediants you have to use it fairly quickly otherwise it spoils. This can be problematic because the moisturizer is super thick, so it takes quite a long time before you use any. Although I have tried applying a thin layer, a medium, layer and a heavy layer I do not feel my face is more hydrated or moisturized. That is the sole purpose of this product, and it doesn't measure up. I still rated it a 3 because it does not agitate my skin or cause break outs.
I do not burn easily, but my friend who swears by this claims it is a great remedy for sun burnt skin.

buying it
Day One for me,come on Ninty fans this game has got to sell.
So, Europe gets fire emblem GBA
we get this....
@Mrclaycoat They were 30 bucks at retail years ago, you dont even got to get out of bed to buy them.
Ok so for me its, Mario and Luigi(never played it) Fusion (a classic) and Advance Wars (amazing game) Nintendo will take my money this week.
All these indies have made the drought irrelevant for me, keep it up, release dates for Teslagrad and nihilumbra? also whats up with Two brothers, PierSolar HD,? Nintendo where my Minish cap?
Honestly, I was going to but this game, but after hearing about the delay, and now knowing we'll get it almost a year after, I'll keep my $64.20 I'm sure it will be a great game, but by then Mario Kart and possibly smash might be out, all those Indies that look amazing, Teslagrad, princess of light, Pier Solar HD already out on the e-shop, thanks but no thanks,
This is awesome news.
Minish Cap
@c1pher_c0mplet Im sorry to tell you, but you missed most of the best games this industry has offered.
Nintendo is only capable of releasing 3/4 high quality games a year, thats a fact, It's always been like this, difference is that back in the gamecube days Nintendo still had some support, from Capcom, Namco even Square but that seems to be dead at the moment, Nintendo really nneds to exploit their eshop, I mean go deep with the GBA library, DS games should be coming soon too, (this will finally give a good use to the tablet) I mean The world ends with you, Radiant Historia, I can think of dozens of games,
Never trust a girl that plays Luigis mansion
Looks awesome, but tbh Im tired of seeing and reading about all these cool donkey games coming to eshop yet no date for them, Teslagrad, Two Brothers, Grinsia, Pier Solar HD, Child of light
All these amazing games coming up and im excited but dam, when are we getting released dates.
Mario, Mario Kart, Zelda, Smash Bros, Fire Emblem, Starfox, Punchout,Pokemon, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Animal Crossings, Paper Mario, Luigis Mansion, Sin and Punishment, Nintendogs, Brain age, Advanced wars, Wario Ware, Game and Watch, Pikmin, Golden Sun, F Zero,
So many of these franchises are due for a new game yet people want more??? funny thing ishalf of those people crying for new IPs wont buy it,
Just backed it!
Where are the GBA games? Golden Sun I & II, Advanced Wars! Minish Cap??? these games will sell
I want this.
Just found out about this game, any official release date?

Expert xamthone Advice On How To Start A Home Business
Ready to start running your own home business? What's the matter, you don't know what to do or where to start with it? No worries, this article has your back. Below are some tips and tricks that can get you started with the basics of how to successfully run your own home business.
Make sure to put money from your home business away to cover for disasters. You need to be prepared for any situation that may arise, like the bottom on the market you're in falling out and leading to your income stopping. Have enough money saved to pay your bills for at least a year, and if you're lucky enough never to use it you can put it towards retirement.
Give your office a deep clean at least once a month to ensure you don't have germs lurking everywhere. A home business will not run if you're sick in bed, so it's important to keep your work environment as healthy as possible, so wipe down and disinfect your keyboard, mouse, phone, desk, chair, etc.
A Jasa Interpreter post office box can be a wise investment when you start your own home business. Handling all of your business correspondence through a PO box will protect your identity and your privacy. When you become a business owner, you become a more tempting target for scammers and harassers; using a PO box keeps such potential irritants at arm's length.
Before you start your home business, it is very important to have a solid understanding of what you want to do, be able to visualize how you are going to do it, and know what resources you will need to make it happen. The answers to these should not just be in your head but also on paper. Write a business plan! It will not only clarify what you are getting into but also point out where you might be lacking.
Exchange flyers with people who run similar businesses. You could advertise someone else's products or services by sending out one of their flyers to your customers and have them do the same for you. Choose a business that will not steal your Jasa Penerjemah customers: associate with another business owner that sells something different.
Get the internet for your home business. There are many in which you can advertise your business and reach out to your customers. You can deduct a percentage of what your internet connection is costing you from your taxes. You should not write off more than half of that expenses if your family uses this connection too.
Use a 1-800 number for your business calls. This gives you a professional appearance, as well as a dedicated phone line for your business. You should never have business phone calls going to your home phone or your personal cellphone. Keep your business calls separate from personal calls; that's the professional way to do it.
With the previous tips floating through your thoughts, you ought to be ready to take on running your own home business! It does take research, a lot of work and some patience, but if you keep at it, it is indeed, achievable. So, go out there, enjoy yourself, and be successful!

A friend of mine asked me this question, but I wasn't sure of an answer, so I decided to ask it here...... A friend of mine has Suddenlink high speed internet with 30 megs download and 2 megs upload. His download speeds from what he is telling me is pretty much always consistent and he is always getting between 27-31 megs download. He is using a Motorola SB6120 D3 modem and was wondering if he bought and updated to a Motorola SB6141 D3 modem, will his speeds get any better as in whenever he does a speed test, will he consistently get 31 megs and over, or will it not make any difference at all? Thanks!
The only difference I can think of, is the 6120 does 4 channel bonding on the downstream, and the 6141 can do 8.At this point I don't think it would make any difference, but in the future it could.This is just my opinion.It's also my opinion that by the time suddenlink has 8 channel bonding on the downstream or more, the 6141 won't be the best and greatest modem available, so why buy it now, when it makes no difference, and won't on the SL system for a long time, if ever.--What the heck is a GatorKram? »www.gatorkram.com
1 recommendation
Won't make a lick of difference, other than a dent in your wallet for no reason. Think about the question for a minute.... He's already getting the speed he pays for steadily....I'd agree, by the time SL rolls 8 channel bonding, the 6141 could likely be a dead modem, lol

With Manning leading the charge, Denver was better on both sides of the ball last season than they've been in years, and they'll enter 2013 as legit Super Bowl contenders – if not favorites. While Denver always fills the seats at home with little effort, their return to the top has their home game average at $328 per game, and you won't see anyone batting an eye.
With the Broncos only on the way up with Wes Welker being added to the team, let's take a look at how they might fare within the AFC West in 2013 and what it will cost to attend those games. Here's a look at Denver Broncos tickets for their six division games, at home and on the road.
Home Games
- (9/23) vs. Oakland Raiders | Avg: $365 | Get-in: $126
The Raiders aren't a good team, but the intense rivalry between Oakland and Denver is well documented. The Broncos will almost surely emerge victorious from this one, but the fans from both sides will be eager to see this one set off. Due to the hype, this one comes in at 11% more than the home average.
- (11/17) vs. Kansas City Chiefs | Avg: $280 | Get-in: $83
The price tag doesn't suggest it, but this is another near-guarantee win for the Broncos. KC got better over the off-season, but they're no match for the Broncos on the road. This one understandably comes in at 14% under Denver's home average, giving fans a relative bargain.
- (12/12) vs. San Diego Chargers | Avg: $277 | Get-in: $81
Denver's only legit threat in the division, the Chargers come to town with upset on the brain. It's unlikely they accomplish that goal in Denver, though. With that said, this matchup's hype meets up with the price, yet this one actually comes in at 16% below Denver's home game season average.
Road Games
- (11/10) @ San Diego Chargers | Avg: $235 | Get-in: $85
Denver's first meeting with the Chargers is cheaper by $42, but the intensity should still be there. Denver isn't quite as likely to take this one in San Diego, but they're the better overall team, so the odds are still in their favor.
- (12/1) @ Kansas City Chiefs | Avg: $131 | Get-in: $26
Denver travels to KC to hopefully complete what should be a season sweep of the Chiefs. Fans get a mega deal here, as they're paying a whopping $149 less than the battle in Denver.
- (12/29) @ Oakland Raiders | Avg: $148 | Get-in: $36
Everyone knows the Raiders aren't really a match for the Broncos in any regard, but this is still a storied matchup and it also ends the 2013 NFL regular season for both teams. Being Denver's season finale, it's a surprisingly low $148. It should be worth the price for both Raiders and Broncos fans as both AFC West foes try to end the season on a high note.

Lower down your calories
Hi everyone. This is Angelina here. I am a food expert and working as a nutritionist for a leading firm. This blog is all about health and fitness and what I am going to discuss now is to how to avoid the increase in calories by using some drinks which are low in calories.
The sweetened tea should be replaced by the unsweetened tea. If you want to avoid your calories to become fit, you should take tea without sugar or any other sweetening agent. This would surely help you in bringing your calories down.
Avoid alcoholic drinks. These drinks contain so many calories so these drinks should be avoided completely. The soft drinks with caffeine are also the cause of increasing the calorie level so should not be taken frequently or should be avoided completely. If you want to have an energy drink, choose that one which is low in calories and not the regular one. Check the nutritional information on the pack of drink. If it says that it is low in calories then take it otherwise do not take the one which is high in calories.
You should take plain coffee instead of black coffee. This would help you in lowering down your calories up to some extent

MeetUp Writing Group
On 8th June 2013, I set up an online (and face-to-face) writing group on the MeetUp network. I belong to three other groups in Northamptonshire, England and it's a great resource.
On the Writing Group, I shall be posting events and information targeted at writers in the Midlands, UK, but of course because it's online everyone can be a member. There is a one-off £5 charge because I have to pay for the site (almost £100 a year!) but hopefully you'll feel it's worth it. :)

I love this breakdown of Kata and how the first step of visualizing the end goal is chronologically last. The 4th state of obstacles repeats so that you're slowly moving from the current state to the incrementally defined "target condition on the way to perfection."
Kata also emphasizes mentorship and learning above a laundry list of required skills or specific results.

It is said that Wimbledon will never lose its charm. Is it true in the real sense? Your views?

It has stood the test of time for close to a century and half as the most prestigious and premier tournament of lawn tennis. Is it the lush green grass of the courts or the pristine surroundings of the complex that stands out or is it the methodical and clinical precision with which it is conducted and yet retaining a charm about it which has made it something different from the other three of the grandslam events? Whatever it is, it still stands out. Wimbledon spells the name of tennis in a way no other location does it - so much is the affinity and symbolism of the venue with tennis that, even in future if the location becomes famous for something else, it will never loose its identity to be known for the tournament in conducts every year. For this reason, it attracts the crowds, there is still traces of the old British fuedality taking centre stage as no where else in times of modern democracy which has done away with such practices.

Proponents of the Second Amendment Protection Act, which Gov. Sam Brownback signed last week, see no legal problem with its wording exempting Kansas-made guns from federal laws. But Robert Cottrol, a law professor at George Washington University, told the Huffington Post that the Constitution's commerce clause generally covers trade within a single state that affects trade in a given industry nationwide. He suggested another way to exempt Kansas gun owners from federal gun laws: "Declare a large number of citizens deputies. That would be in the power of state government."

Youth are our future. Whether as parents, neighbours or policymakers, we have a responsibility to help our children and youth succeed — and to give them the tools they need to live the life they deserve. Whether we succeed or fail in that mission, our actions speak volumes about who we are as a government and a society.
With that in mind I recently assembled a discussion paper, A Fresh Start for Children and Youth, intended to open a passionate and positive conversation about the changes that our young people desperately need. The choices we make about young Ontarians in the areas of social services, health and education have enormous, lasting impacts upon the future of our province. But increased spending by the Liberal government in this area has had no impact on outcomes because that spending merely matches high costs driven by the system's inefficiency and bureaucracy. We can change that. Shedding bureaucratic layers and lifting barriers between ministries will open the way for a truly child-centred system, one that boosts program performance and makes the system more compassionate and user-friendly. I invite you to read the paper in its entirety at www.ontariopc.com/paths. Here are just some of its proposals:
Value mental health
Mental health is important to all of us, but it's absolutely critical in our formative years. We must strive to identify mental illness as early as possible and make mental health literacy common to all children and youth professionals.
Promote the power of family
We should work harder to keep children with their parents. Failing that, we must do more to place children with 'forever' families — require children's aid societies to use the existing AdoptOntario electronic registry, making it easier to place more children in loving homes.
Benchmark for excellence
We would measure the merit of programs by the success of the child, not the number of children in care. We should set ambitious targets to increase the number of Crown wards adopted, holding children's aid societies accountable for each child's progress towards a permanent home and rewarding exceptional performance where appropriate.
We welcome frank discussion about the choices government must make as it moves ahead, but words alone will not answer this sector's serious shortcomings. Action is everything, and the time for meaningful change is now.
I look forward to hearing from you at 905-639-7924, e-mail at ?email@example.com or online at www.janemckennampp.com.

Ration-pension awareness yatra kicks off in Delhi
A week-long campaign, aimed at raising awareness among voters about the right to food security and demand for universal pension, opened here Friday.
The Right to Food Campaign and Pension Parishad flagged off the ration-pension yatra (roadshow) in the national capital.
The objective of the campaign is to cover the slums and undeveloped colonies in all the seven Lok Sabha constituencies in Delhi.
The first meeting in a colony in Seemapuri revealed that most of the people, mostly women, were unaware about the National Food Security Act, 2013, enacted by parliament September 2013. According to the act, all new ration cards would be made, preferably, in the name of the eldest woman in a house.
In the second meeting at a shelter home in Mansarovar Park, most of the children appeared to be malnourished and not a single person had a ration card, though several had voter I-cards.
People were unaware of the fact that under the law, all the families are now entitled to a fixed quantity of food grain at a uniform price.
A few residents of the two areas had some knowledge about the National Social Assistance Programme, which provides pension to people.
A consensus among the people called for inflation-indexed pensions for all vulnerable segments of society at a minimum of Rs.2,000 or half their minimum wage.

Key points
- Protein is essential for growth and repair of the body and maintenance of good health.
- Protein also provides energy; 1 gram provides 17 kJ (4 kcal).
- The Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI) is set at 0.75g of protein per kilogram bodyweight per day for adults.
- The amount of protein we need changes during a lifetime.
- Different foods contain different amounts and different combinations of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins). Protein from animal sources (e.g. meat, fish, eggs and dairy products) contains the full range of essential amino acids needed by the body. However, vegans and vegetarians can get all the amino acids they need by combining different plant sources of protein, e.g. pulses and cereals.
Importance of protein
Proteins are fundamental structural and functional elements within every cell of the body and are involved in a wide range of metabolic interactions. All cells and tissues contain protein, therefore protein is essential for growth and repair and the maintenance of good health. Protein provides the body with approximately 10 to 15% of its dietary energy and it is the second most abundant compound in the body, following water. A large proportion of this will be muscle (43% on average) with significant proportions being present in skin (15%) and blood (16%).

James Harrison's Agent: Steelers Haven't Closed Door
Steelers CentralBuy Steelers Tickets Shop for Steelers Gear NFL Scoreboard NFL Standings Team STATS Team Schedule Team Roster Team Injuries
Sports Fan Insider
PITTSBURGH (93-7 The Fan) – James Harrison's days in Pittsburgh are over, and his agent reacts with Vinnie & Cook on Sportsradio 93-7 The Fan.
Bill Parise explains that he simply couldn't agree with the Steelers on the remaining years of his contract.
"We were willing to take a pay cut," Parise says. "That was not an issue. The degree of that cut was always an issue. But it was really just a matter of not being able to find common ground where we could get this thing done going forward."
No matter where Harrison lands, Parise calls his shot for the 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year to have a big season.
"We'll be back in the Pro Bowl this year," Parise predicts. "Yeah, I look for a major year. He's healthy. I think he returns to the Pro Bowl this year."
Parise also reveals that teams have already expressed interest in Harrison's services for the upcoming year. But he also admits, "we have not closed the door on the Steelers, and I don't think the Steelers have closed the door on us. But I can't find any reason to revisit that. The door's not closed, but it's not something we're pursuing."

This product has been a dream for my husband. My husband is six foot nine and just had a cervical fusion. This product has given him support in bed as well as in a chair. The adjustable wedge can adjust to people of all sizes, and his height was not an issue when using this product. I'm not sure how beneficial this product would be for people who have lower spine issues, but it has been a Godsend in helping to make my hubby a little more comfortable after surgery. I am very grateful!!!

Topics: States, Medicaid, Delivery of Care
By Don Sapatkin, The Philadelphia Inquirer
Jul 08, 2013
This story was produced in partnership with
Two days after Erik Friedman was born, his parents applied for coverage under Pennsylvania's universal Children's Health Insurance Program. Six months later, they got it.
Ari Friedman left, and his wife, Tara Mendola, right and their one-year-old son, Erik Friedman, center, with some of the paperwork that documents their experience trying to get routine coverage for their newborn by the state Children's Health Insurance Program. (Photo by Michael Bryant/Philadelphia Inquirer).
What happened in between were 86 phone calls, two lost applications, a calculation error that tripled their income (and raised their premium), incorrect advice that they should (and did) drop their baby's catastrophic health insurance to qualify, multiple promises of responses that never came, and collection agency letters for hospital bills, which, of course, hadn't been paid.
How often this happens is unclear. State officials say it's rare. Children's advocates note that many low-income families might not know where to turn for help and simply give up.
Erik's parents -- Tara Mendola, a Ph.D. student, and Ari Friedman, an M.D.-Ph.D. student -- had no intention of giving up, eventually involving Gov. Tom Corbett's office to secure coverage for their son.
"It just felt like only someone with both privilege and a lot of free time could get into this program," said Mendola, who, with her husband, documented each contact and recounted the case in an eye-opening article for the journal Health Affairs.
Amid their frustration, the couple wrote hopefully of coming changes mandated by the federal health care overhaul that are intended to streamline states' approval processes for public insurance. But those changes will coincide with a tsunami of newly covered patients expected to hit on Jan. 1.
That's when hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians become eligible for coverage bought through the online insurance marketplace, or an "exchange," and at least 100,000 more who were already eligible for Medicaid are expected to apply for the first time due to the hoopla. (The legislature has so far rejected an optional Medicaid expansion; acceptance would add a half-million more enrollees.)
In Harrisburg, the sprawling state agency that was primarily responsible for little Erik's insurance odyssey -- the Department of Public Welfare -- also handles Medicaid, and its county assistance offices are often the initial contact for CHIP.
Erik's parents were eager for CHIP coverage. Its full benefits, from commercial insurers, include prescription drugs, dental, and vision, with no deductibles and doctor copays up to $15; preexisting conditions aren't considered.
CHIP is universal in Pennsylvania: Any citizen, even Bill Gates' family if they lived here, can qualify, but premiums are based on income, with wealthier parents paying the full $270 monthly cost for each child. It now covers 187,000 children.
Ari Friedman applied for insurance online two days after his son was born in April 2012. When he called the next week to follow up, he was told that the application -- eight pages, plus reams of documentation -- was lost and that he should reapply. He did so immediately, and then called to check again.
On hold, the phone system cut him off. It happened a second time, and a third, and on and on, sometimes after 30 seconds and other times 20 minutes. No voice mail. No person. Just random hangups. "It is like being a rat in a cage. Wait and then they shock them," said Friedman.
Eventually, he called the state CHIP office. Someone answered, but had no access to the application.
Pennsylvania has a joint application for CHIP and Medicaid, which covers the lowest-income children. Applications are routed to one or the other, depending on income. So the couple wasn't surprised when a letter a few weeks later said Erik was ineligible for Medicaid. But it didn't mention CHIP.
"After dozens of phone calls," the couple wrote, they were told that CHIP hadn't been considered because the necessary documentation -- sent both by fax and attached to an e-mail -- had been lost again. They were told to send it a third time.
They bought catastrophic insurance for Erik, then 44 days old.
He was rejected for Medicaid again. This time, they learned, the file had been flagged with a code "69" -- odd since a DPW worker told them, the code didn't exist.
She sent a ticket to the district office giving it three days to resolve the case. Nothing happened.
Recalling the whole experience recently as Erik, now 15 months, squealed with delight at his newfound ability to run around their West Powelton rowhouse, Friedman and Mendola, both 29, don't come across as angry. Eighth-grade sweethearts in Alabama who ended up at the University of Pennsylvania, they are warm, easygoing, and organized.
He is a fifth-year student in health economics, alternating between Penn's medical and business schools. She is a sixth-year graduate student in comparative literature at New York University, back in Philadelphia after extensive travel on a Fulbright scholarship and national security grant (she specializes in medieval Arabic and French literature).
They said they resisted an editor's entreaties to put more emotion in the journal article because, as Mendola put it, "other people have it worse."
Through the months of frustration and systemic breakdowns, they wrote, "the individual caseworkers and employees we reached were empathetic and kind." Yet no one seemed surprised.
At three months, with no luck by phone, fax, or e-mail, Friedman looked up a state Medicaid office in the city and bicycled over, hoping to see a supervisor. He found a demolished building.
But that attempt, the result of an old address listed on a website that may not have been affiliated with the state, led to a meeting with "a wonderful employee" who promised to move the case forward. The next day, their third rejection letter arrived -- great news, since this one said the file had been sent for consideration to Keystone Health Plan East, a CHIP contractor.
A Keystone representative moved quickly, sending it to the state Department of Insurance, which oversees CHIP, and advising the couple to let Erik's catastrophic insurance lapse because he had to be uninsured to qualify.
This was incorrect; infants are exempt. But his parents reluctantly complied. Fearful that "the one concrete way we had to protect our son's health and our financial security was being taken away," they wrote every politician they could, attaching a photo of their 4-month-old to make him harder to ignore.
Gov. Corbett's office called within a week. A letter of approval from CHIP, referencing that contact, arrived three days later. It tripled their income -- $45,000 in stipends -- and as a result multiplied their premium eightfold.
By the time their pay stubs were reconsidered and Erik was enrolled at the correct $30 premium, he was 6 months old.
A top CHIP official called to apologize and backdate the policy two months. That still left $2,000 to $3,000 in past costs, but they were too embarrassed to ask for more.
Neither Keystone's parent, Independence Blue Cross, nor the agencies would discuss the case, citing privacy laws, but all said they try to do better.
"If the child already has health insurance, IBC does not advise parents to drop that coverage or let it lapse," spokeswoman Ruth Stoolman e-mailed, without denying that it had happened.
Press secretary Rosanne Placey said the Department of Insurance did a "thorough review" of the case, although the application apparently did not reach the agency until the governor's office intervened. "[I]t is never acceptable to keep parents on tenterhooks regarding their baby's coverage and care," she said via e-mail.
At the Department of Public Welfare, press secretary Carey Miller wrote: "This couple's story is by no means indicative of the experience we strive to provide on a daily basis."
Ari Friedman's single-biggest grievance, that phones in DPW's Philadelphia offices hung up repeatedly while on hold, a common complaint from clients and advocates, drew this from Miller:
"Unfortunately, DPW does not have the capability to track phone system errors, but we are always working towards providing the best possible customer service experience."
With the Affordable Care Act certain to substantially increase DPW's workload and require major shifts in procedures by Jan. 1, Miller said the department was training staff on new IT systems and mandatory eligibility changes, and hiring new workers. She said a job fair will be held July 18 in Philadelphia to recruit more caseworkers.
Little Erik Friedman's insurance is in the process of being renewed. His parents think CHIP is great.
There is more about their experience -- yes, there's more -- in an article in the journal Health Affairs.
