For Travis Service-Area Medicaid (STAR) & CHIP Providers
Welcome to the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) Medicaid (STAR) & CHIP newsletter. Thank you for participating in BCBSTX Medicaid (STAR) & CHIP programs.
Initial Health Assessment Primary Care Providers (PCPs) or other professional providers should perform an Initial Health Assessment (IHA) with new members within 90 days of enrollment in BCBSTX. The IHA consists of:
1. A history and physical examination. 2. A developmental assessment.
An IHA is not necessary if the member is an existing patient of the PCP group (but new to the BCBSTX plan). Follow-up is not required if there is an established medical record that shows a baseline health status. This record must include sufficient information for the PCP to understand the member's health history and to provide treatment recommendations as needed. Transferred medical records can meet the requirements for an IHA if a completed health history is included.
Sports and Camp Physicals BCBSTX covers sports and camp physicals provided by network providers once a year to encourage youth participation in sports physical fitness programs and activities. This supports childhood obesity prevention activities in the service area by encouraging participation in physical activities. This benefit is available for all members 18 and under.

OPELOUSAS, La. (AP) - A St. Landry Parish sheriff's deputy has been arrested on drug charges.
Deputy Chris LeJeune of Ville Platte was arrested this week as part of a joint operation between the St. Landry and Evangeline Parish sheriff's offices.
Jimmy Darbonne with the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office said Thursday officers received information that a deputy was in possession of illegal drugs and possibly doctor shopping.
The 31-year-old LeJeune was booked on one count each of possession with intent to distribute Lortab, possession with intent to distribute Valium, possession with intent to distribute Methadone and two counts of possession with intent to distribute OxyContin.
LeJeune is free on a $30,000 bond.
It wasn't immediately clear if LeJeune has an attorney.

Commissioners frustrated by lack of information
By Ben Orcutt -- email@example.com
FRONT ROYAL -- Several members of the Front Royal Planning Commission are frustrated by a lack of information as they prepare for a public hearing on a significant rezoning in the Happy Creek Road area.
Members of the six-member panel expressed concerns following a Wednesday work session about proposed changes to the town's slope ordinance as it pertains to new subdivisions.
David Vazzana, of Front Royal Limited Partnership, has a rezoning request scheduled for a public hearing Wednesday. The request is to rezone roughly 150 acres, in the area of Happy Creek Road and Mary's Shady Lane, from residential estate to a denser residential zoning that would allow for 320 single-family homes.
The rezoning request is related to possible changes to the slope ordinance that could allow for more than the 75 to 100 homes Vazzana could build currently.
"Since there are so many unanswered questions, why are you having a public hearing?" Commissioner Sandra Charles asked.
"To keep the process moving forward," responded Andrew J. Conlon Jr., director of planning and zoning for the town.
Conlon told the commission that in fairness to the applicant, the project has been discussed for "quite a lengthy time."
"You've had it for about a year," said Joseph E. Duggan, who owns the Winchester landscape architectural firm J. Duggan and Associates and is a consultant for Vazzana.
While Vazzana has made what Duggan called a "good-faith effort" to keep the commission informed, Vazzana did not choose to submit a conceptual plan of the proposed development.
"I would love to see a creative development out there, but we have to have more information than we have," Charles said.
Commissioner Therese Brown questioned how Vazzana planned to have residents enter and leave the development, adding that the panel should have held a work session on the rezoning.
While commission Chairman David E. Gushee said he tends to favor the rezoning request because it appears to be in keeping with overall plans for the area, he noted the importance of the decision facing the panel.
"This is a seminal decision," Gushee said. "This is a very important decision."
Conlon told the panel that instead of Vazzana perhaps building an east-west connector road to help alleviate traffic concerns, he will donate money toward that end, but will primarily focus on making improvements to the intersection of Shenandoah Shores and Happy Creek roads.
"That disturbs me," Commissioner Glenn Wood said. "That disturbs me a lot."
Brown also weighed in.
"Whatever we do for this applicant, we have to do for next one," she said. "We are setting a precedent out there."
Gushee had the last word.
"I think we ought to be reminded that we can vote 'no,'" he said.
Vazzana did not return telephone calls on Thursday or Friday.

A new company, a new and tantalizing collection: Autodromo Motoring Watches are "instruments for motoring," precision timepieces lovingly designed to recapture last century's golden era of European car racing (that would be the 1950s and 60s). There are three models (two with colour options): the Veloce (VE-LO-CHAY), the Brescia (BRE-SHA) and the Vallelunga (VA-LAY-LOON-GA), inspired by famous Italian race courses and classic dashboard features, like the Veloce's rev counter with redline marking (above).

Federal Way man gets 40 months in attack on Sikh cabdriver
A Federal Way man was sentenced to 40 months in federal prison for viciously beating a Sikh cabdriver while making racist statements about Muslims.
Seattle Times staff reporter
A Federal Way man was sentenced Tuesday to 40 months in federal prison for viciously beating a Sikh cabdriver last year amid a profanity-laced racist rant about Muslims.
Jamie Larson, 50, originally was charged with malicious harassment in King County Superior Court, but the case was turned over to federal prosecutors in March because the federal hate-crime law carried a longer possible sentence of up to 10 years.
"I want to apologize to (the victim) and his family," Larson told U.S. District Judge John Coughenour during his sentencing. "I am ashamed of what I did. I hope they can find it in their hearts to forgive me."
Larson was described by his attorney, federal defender Kyena Stephens, as a blackout-binge alcoholic who had been in a treatment center and sober for several months until he got into a fight with his girlfriend. He started drinking and said he recalled nothing of the Oct. 17, 2012, incident.
According to court documents, Larson was drunk and lying in bushes outside a Fred Meyer store in Auburn when a passer-by called police. Officers and firefighters responded, determined Larson was drunk but coherent, and called him a cab if he agreed to go home.
The cabdriver arrived and took Larson to the Federal Way address he was given, but when they arrived, Larson said he didn't live there. The cabbie went to the front door to talk to the homeowner — the mother of Larson's girlfriend — when Larson came up behind him and began beating him.
While hitting, kicking and stomping the cabbie, Larson made a number of disparaging and racist remarks about Islam and Muslims.
The driver is an immigrant from India and a practicing Sikh, not a Muslim.
After the attack, he was hospitalized eight days with a concussion and other injuries, according to prosecutors. The driver couldn't work for two months and required months of physical therapy because of his injuries.
Federal prosecutors pointed out that Larson has a long history of alcohol-fueled violence, sexually assaulting a neighbor in 2008 and beating an ambulance driver in 2009 while drunk.
Coughenour, the judge, called Larson's comments among "the most disgusting, ugly and racist language that I have heard in 30 years on the bench."
The judge said the 40-month sentence sends a "message to the community that this kind of conduct is unacceptable."
The sentencing was attended by local officials from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) who praised the sentence. CAIR was involved because the assault was a perceived attack on Islam, even if the driver was not of that faith. Indeed, Arsalan Bukhari, the executive director of the Seattle chapter of CAIR, said the organization had not spoken with the victim of Larson's attack.
"We believe the sentence carries a strong message that these sorts of attack will be met with the full force of the law," he said.

Would you park your classic 1967 Corvette Coupe in a parking garage overnight? We got a tweet from @MattEuson who said he just did that.
If you're a big fan of the Transformers Corvette Stingray Coupe revealed in Chicago back in 2009, we have some good news and some bad news for you.
The bad news is that you can't buy that particular car.
The good news is that apparently someone in Georgia liked the Stingray concept car so much that they went out and made one of their own – sort of.
Since the new Corvette Stingrays have hit the streets, we've actively been searching the 'net looking for examples of each of the 10 colors available. But since the C7′s introduction in January, one color has alluded us until now – Arctic White.
Last weekend, one of the engineers from the Bowling Green Assembly Plant made the one hour drive down I65 in an Arctic White 2014 Corvette Stingray Coupe to the Cars and Coffee gathering in Nashville and we're very excited to share these photos with you.

October 16, 2014Improving Mobile App Experiences
Trying To Improve Mobile App Experiences? The New Standard Is "Flawless"
October 16, 2014
Solutions like edge application controllers assess whether a cell faces congestion at any given moment, and understand which sessions are causing it and the experiences suffering the most as a result. Bandwidth is then reallocated based on application type and subscriber needs.
This is a leap beyond prior probe and DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) approaches that observe traffic patterns and congestion and then communicate through a policy control function to take enforcement action. But congestion and latency are transient phenomena that may last seconds or less. These small incidents can destroy app experiences and cause degradation with repercussions longer than the initial periods of congestion. In these cases, the information can be revealed too late by the probe and service experience is compromised before the DPI takes action.
The results of better approaches to RAN management are speaking for themselves. For instance, a US service provider using an edge application controller to manage the impact of congestion has achieved more than 30% improved bitrate performance for video and web browsing and more than 35% reduction in service latency during congestion. These numbers signify the difference between a great app experience and a frustrating one. Between a finger tapping happily on a screen or pointing angrily at the offending party.

September 2, 2014Smartphone owners demand reliable broadband
Smartphone owners demand reliable mobile broadband service
September 2, 2014
For a growing number of consumers the smartphone has become the only communication device they use in their home, and as BYOD initiatives continue to increase in adoption by businesses, it is also being used at the office and as an integral part of the remote mobile workforce. This demand now requires mobile broadband service providers to have reliable connection 24/7, and unreliable service will quickly spread through social media as consumers transfer to the best rated operator. A new survey by Vasona Networks proves this very point as it reveals 72 percent of smartphone owners expect good performance all the time.
Globally, the adoption rate for mobile broadband services is experiencing steady growth. The June 2013 data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development nations revealed mobile broadband penetration has grown to 68.4 percent in the 34-country group. While many of the countries in this group are making great strides towards 100 percent adoption, six countries – Australia, Denmark, Finland, Korea, Japan and Sweden – have already achieved the 100 percent mobile broadband penetration level. With so much demand, operators are doing all they can to ensure they are the go to company when it comes to reliable service, and as 4G becomes available more widely, service interruptions will be less frequent.

72% of mobile network users expect their carrier to provide good performance constantly
August 31, 2014
According to a survey conducted by traffic management vendor Vasona Networks, 72% of mobile data users expect their carrier to be on top of their game all of the time, providing good data performance 24/7. Consumers are also quicker to blame their carrier when things go awry. Last year, 64% of mobile device users said that they expected their mobile carrier to be problem-free all of the time.
The survey shows that 55% of smartphone and tablet users blame their mobile network providers if an application does not run correctly. That is a pretty sharp rise from the 40% last year, who were quick to blame their mobile operator for problems with applications. 42% of those surveyed said that they would indeed recommend the carrier they use, to a friend seeking "great broadband performance." Just 9% said that they wouldn't recommend the company they currently get mobile service from. Lastly, 32% said that when choosing a mobile carrier, the quality of mobile internet performance is important. Last year, that figure was 29%.

August 30, 2014Subs say mobile operators most responsible when apps don't work
55% subscribers say mobile operators are most responsible for apps not working properly
August 30, 2014
Vasona Networks, the provider of the SmartAir and SmartVision analysis suite that help operators understand network activities and performance, released findings from its annual survey of smartphone owners showing that there is an increasing expectation on service providers for better experience on their mobile services. Vasona said that the percentage of respondents who hold their mobile operators most responsible when apps don't function properly increased from 40% last year to 55% this year.
The same sentiment is echoed across other experience indicators measured in the survey which was participated by more than 1000 mobile users in the United States. For example, the percentage of respondents who have an expectation of mobile data performing well ALL the time rose from 64% to 73%, said Vasona. In choosing a service provider, the percentage of respondents who base the decision on mobile Internet performance also increased from 29% in 2013 to 32% this year. In summary, mobile data performance has become a major benchmark for mobile users, influencing their subscription decisions and their ratings of their service provider.

August 28, 2014Subs say mobile operators most responsible when apps don't work
Vasona Networks: Users have high expectations for mobile data performance
August 28, 2014
A new survey from Vasona Networks shows that mobile users' expectations for good mobile data performance are rising, and that operators are most likely to be blamed if they have issues — even with applications, where the carrier's control is limited.
The annual survey showed that mobile data performance is slowly becoming more important in why users choose a particular service provider: 32% said that was an important factor in choosing a wireless carriers, up from 29% last year. However, price was still the most important factor for 56% of respondents. Meanwhile, expectations for "good mobile data performance all of the time" rose nearly 10% from 2013, to 72%.
When asked if they would recommend their service provider based on their mobile data experience, fewer than half— 42% — said they would. Most respondents took a neutral stance on that aspect (49%) and an additional 9% said they wouldn't recommend their carrier based on data performance.

Telecom Analytics: Actionable Intelligence
September 2014
Vasona Networks focuses on using data and analytics to diagnose and solve congestion at the cell sector level. VP product and marketing John Reister said that demand fluctuates very rapidly in modern wireless networks.
"I don't think that's fully perceived across the industry," Reister said, adding that operators are often seeing 15-minute intervals of reporting for hundreds or thousands of cell sectors. A single cell site often has three or six sectors, and some have as many as 12, and hand off to one another frequently as users move between sectors at a macro site.
Longer intervals of network polling don't reflect significant spikes and valleys that occur in single sectors, in extremely brief time intervals, and can still cause bad user experiences. "We've seen in the field that capacity can vary by over 50% from one second to the next," Reister said.
"When you get the valleys, the cell is underutilized; with the spikes, the cell is congested and causing bad experiences." Vasona takes the approach of smoothing out the extremes by recognizing latency-sensitive traffic such as video and prioritizing it over email syncing and background app updates.

Septenber 16, 2014RAN congestion drives network tools
RAN congestion drives network tools closer to the edge
Septenber 16, 2014
VVasona Networks' solution sits between the RAN and the core and monitors the traffic coming from the internet before it hits the access network. It can analyze it by packet type and by application, and its particular emphasis is on dealing efficiently with the spikes in traffic which occur on the RAN constantly. Most of these last just a few seconds, and Vasona argues that few traffic shaping approaches take that into account. By anticipating the spikes before they happen, Vasona's tools aim to keep certain packets – such as updates – back in order to lower the spike and keep performance consistent for real time applications like video streaming.
By contrast, another popular approach, video compression, might be overkill, reducing the quality of a transmission for the length of the video clip, rather than just the few seconds necessary, and so affecting QoE. And, Vasona argues, core-based tools like deep packet inspection (DPI), while powerful for functions like security, take too long to respond to the very brief peaks in traffic, taking minutes not seconds to act, and increasing latency.

Surge in smartphone users demanding flawless mobile broadband service
Vasona Networks survey reveals 72 percent expect good performance all of the time
Consumers have increasingly stringent expectations when it comes to mobile broadband. They are quick to blame their service providers when apps don't work properly and the vast majority expect flawless performance with no hiccups. These insights come from Vasona Networks, Inc.'s® annual survey of smartphone owners, which reveals notable increases in mobile performance expectations over 2013:
• The importance of mobile Internet performance when choosing a service provider rose from 29% in 2013 to 32% this year;
• Expectations of "good mobile data performance all of the time" rose from 64% to 72%; and
• Respondents who hold their mobile operator most responsible when apps don't function properly rose from 40% to 55%.
Despite the high expectations, consumers expressed confidence in their selections of mobile network operators. 42% indicated that they would recommend their service provider to a friend seeking great broadband performance versus 9% who would specifically suggest not using their existing provider. The remaining 49% were ambivalent.
"As mobile operators expand 4G service, consumers are setting a high bar for broadband performance," said John Reister, vice president of marketing and product management for Vasona Networks. "Significant efforts and investments are being made, but heavy network congestion still persists, making subscriber satisfaction a constantly moving target. This year's survey from Vasona Networks indicates that the race to deliver the best mobile broadband experience is far from over as demand for better service keeps growing."
Vasona Networks, which provides traffic management and visibility platforms for mobile networks, conducted the survey online August 7 -11. The questions were fielded by 1,111 U.S. online consumers who indicated that they use a smartphone with a mobile data plan. The company will participate in sessions on the 4G technology roadmap and on video and multimedia experiences at the 4G World conference during Super Mobility Week in Las Vegas, September 9 - 11.
Following are the detailed survey results for 2013 versus 2014:

After months upon months upon months of planning, evaluating, analyzing, doubting, confirming, re-evaluating, and speculating, the draft is finally over and done with. With all of the picks selected and most likely to be signed in the coming weeks, we (as analysts), must go out and analyze every single pick and go through where teams may or may not have gone wrong in their individual selections and list some possible solutions or corrections.
In this article I'll be reviewing the team with the 18th overall selection in the draft: the New York Jets. Last season the Jets went a neutral 8-8, neither winning nor losing more games. They were right in the middle. However, as I start to look at the Jets' season in 2013, I start to see some gaping holes, particularly on the offensive and defensive passing games. Last year, New York rushed for 134.9 yards and allowed only 88.3 rushing yards per game (ranked 6th and 3rd in the NFL, respectively), however they were only able to pass for 183.3 yards per game, while allowing 246.7 yards per game to other teams (ranked 31st and 22nd in the league, respectively). With numbers like that, one may question the role of the Jets' personnel last season. While many may be quick to blame Geno Smith for the Jets' problems, I think that they should hold off the blame. Although he did complete only 55.8% of his passes and was intercepted 21 times, Smith had hardly any receivers to throw to last season. Between Santonio Holmes, Jeremy Kerley and Jeff Cumberland, the Jets had hardly any offensive talent last season. With that said, the Jets took this draft as an opportunity to replenish their secondary, while adding some offensive firepower for the former second round pick Geno Smith to work with in 2014. In this article I will be analyzing all of the Jets' draft choices, what was stated prior to the draft and where the Jets should be commended or criticized.

Hey eveyones facts aren't yours. BTW say something useful
The progressive movement has always portrayed itself as one of "choice." They're pro-choice when it comes to abortion and believe women should have the choice of a wide array of birth control that someone else pays for. Unfortunately, they stop short when it comes to "school choice."
For progressives, there's a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to our children's education. Problems are attributed to inadequate funding as opposed to a fundamental flaw in the foundation of our educational system.
The majority of today's school districts dictate the conditions of education for students and schools, while taxpayers pick up the tab. These...

When my grandpa died he left me his 1973 Corvair convertible, which sounds really great on paper. In reality, he left me a lemon, and since the car is the most stress-inducing piece of machinery of all time and he died of a heart attack, I think it's safe to say he left me his cause of death.
It doesn't start unless the key is in the ignition, the left passenger window is open, and the radio is turned to a Spanish classics station. Don't ask how long it took me to figure out this combination.

Why Won't Anybody Say That "Noah" Is Terrible?
Noah is getting the strangest good reviews. "I'm not sure who exactly this often grimly rapturous movie was made for, but I find myself surprisingly glad that it was made," wrote Richard Lawson in Vanity Fair. A.O. Scott went with: "Mr. Aronofsky's earnest, uneven, intermittently powerful film, is both a psychological case study and a parable of hubris and humility. At its best, it shares some its namesake's ferocious conviction, and not a little of his madness."
These are all incredibly charitable. This is not a good movie. I wanted to bite off my fingers. From the opening sequence, which explains the silly state of the world and some fallen angels by means of text that looks suspiciously like the unholy Papyrus font, to the senseless howling and weeping and gnashing of teeth and stomping around that proceeds over the next two hours, Noah looks all around like a film gone seriously wrong. In terms of emotional pitch, it makes Black Swan look like Breakfast at Tiffany's. It's tiresome, exhausting, bizarre and self-serious. Aronofsky is pretty close to being a great director who's never actually made a great film.
In anyone else's hands, the story of grim old stick-in-the-mud Russell Crowe saving the beasts of the world from the evils of men would be extremely camp. And there are times that the movie looks like claymation or the performances turn just a bit too histrionic. But there's never anything laughable, really—ever—in even Aronofsky's most ridiculous situations. That's what makes Noah so tiring. And yet… visually captivating? I guess the upside is, it's refreshing to see a movie where you literally cannot imagine what will happen, even though you assume there's going to be, like, a big flood, and an eventual yacht collision with Mount Ararat.
I always start to suspect that it all goes wrong with his collaborators. Noah has the wonderful Clint Mansell's worst score to date (and I say this as a huge, huge Mansell fan), and Aronofsky's stuck by his production designer and editor from Black Swan and his costume designer back to The Wrestler. But that's not it: they all do great work over and over. Thérèse DePrez also did the impeccable production designs for Stoker and I Shot Andy Warhol and Happiness, and Amy Westcott did costumes for The Squid and the Whale and "Entourage" and the delightful What's Your Number? (She has the craziest job of all here: "pretend there was actually a first iron age before the one we know about and also there were magical animals and angels and stuff and they'd discovered indigo dye and invented really sophisticated looms but nothing else." You end up with a kind of Bottega Veneta as reimagined by al Qaeda members.) Likewise Noah's editor did Moonrise Kingdom, The East and Fantastic Mr. Fox. So everything wrong with this movie is Aronofsky's fault.
From the east coast, this looks like the insanely expensive end of Darren Aronofsky, with the production budget plus the marketing budget teetering quickly towards $200 million. But the studio, after some early wrestling for control of the film, gave it up and gave in, and are now 100% on-board. Probably their testing shows something we can't see for the vast multiplexes of America. A Dances with Wolves for the last of the Billy Graham set? God, it could be just the beginning.

now I'm just thinking about a Wes Anderson-directed Noah (probably better?)
@antarctica starts here Not relevant to the article, but I was delighted by Grand Budapest Hotel. I didn't enjoy Moonrise Kingdom or Darjeeling Limited, and I loved the experience at laughing out loud to one of his movies again.
When I picture a Wes Anderson-directed Noah, all I see is a paper cutout version of the Ark floating along stylized waves made of velvet.
@Bobby Womack Bill Murray Noah has to get all those wacky animals on the boat, and fancy wife Tilda Swinton just isn't helping!
@Bobby Womack Well, there was the Noye's Fludde scenes from Moonrise Kingdom, so I think he's gotten it out of the way.
@antarctica starts here In the Wes Anderson film, it's just Noah, the wife and kids, and two hedgehogs.
Well…. I didn't think it was terrible. I really liked it.
@Mrjeremy And who are you?
It's Hollywood's way of getting in good with God. Like putting a Rolex in the collection plate, even though you've got a Royal Oak on your wrist.
Using Papyrus is a deal-breaker for me. I'm looking at you Avatar.
@LondonLee Strangely, J. Cameron used a customized variant of Papyrus.
on the bright side, God promised there would be no sequel.
@gregorg: Noah II: The Repopulating (rated NC17)
Unless this movie has either a credible biblical explanation post-deluvian genetic diversity or warriors fighting giant crabs, I'm not interested.
Would have been better if he'd adapted Bill Cosby's Noah.
Having been raised by fundies – you know, people who actually claim to believe all that hokum about Noah and his ark – there's no way I'm seeing a movie about it unless it's VERY campy indeed. How about Tim Curry as Noah?
Is this all this guy does? Historical films where he plays some nonexistent gallant hero? Honestly, I doubt anyone will remember him in 50 years.
The costumes look like the kind of stuff Allison Janney and her "sons" wore in the last season of "Lost." This makes me hate it without even having seen it. Anything that looks anything like that hateful part of that hateful season of "Lost" must be truly hateful indeed.
Just as long as they have Sodom, Gomorrah and a Golden Ass, I'm in.
when all the sophisticated folks finish posting their oh so sophisticated comments, I just want to say that there isn't enough sex,cursing,nudity,rape, cutting edge politically correct caca in this movie for them. That's all. If it was filthy, filthy, filthy…they'd call it art….well, guess what? Maybe some people who don't want to pay money to see any of that crap, there sure is enough of it out there….Our pretty normal family went to see it and enjoyed …that's it…period….no dissecting or overthinking. Just nice not to be embarressed or disgusted or sickened …but some people can handle that……
@JLK I'd like to think that the head of a "pretty normal family" can spell above a third grade level.
@JLK Well, if they had stayed to the BIblical script to the end, there would have been plenty of sex and violence (killing off every single person in the whole world except one man, his wife, three sons and their wives…seems a bit violent to me). And what happens next (Noah's nakedness: Gensis 9:18 and following) should apparently have been included to make it a truly "modern" movie.
@JLK Have you actually watched the film? Tubal-cain's people were literally EATING BABIES. Is that your idea of wholesome family entertainment, you sick freak?
Why hasn't anyone commented on the totally cool blue jeans Noah wears and also his stylin shirt from Banana Republic ?
With a biblical story you are allowed a large amount of poetic license but this film gorges on it. I lost interest early in this film when the stone age transformers appeared, closely followed by men wearing welding helmets to make iron weapons, corrugated sheeting used as shields, guns, and clothing that ranges from designer jeans with Ugg boots to tailored jackets from M&S….I'm sure I have one of Noah jumpers in my wardrobe (retained for gardening purposes only).
Films like this insult the audience and deserve to crash and burn.I thought Crow would have learned his lesson with Robin Hood…WWII landing craft appeared off the English coast. The audience will not swallow it.
I feel the Director has stolen a couple of hours of my life!
Definitely one to miss.

Fantasy football has become a huge part of our sports experience. It is like cheese – it only makes a good thing better. KC Kingdom has put together a terrific series of articles, helping you find the best players possible for your fantasy teams.
Chad Brewster and Josh Michaels have produced 8 fantasy posts over four weeks, each filled with good information. Here is a list of all of those articles.
Fantasy Football Top Players By Positions:
- Top 10 Defenses
- Top 10 Receivers
- Top 10 Running Backs
- Top 10 Tight Ends
- Top 10 Quarterbacks
- Top 10 Sleepers
- Top 7 Rookies
- Top 10 Deep Sleepers
Chad and Josh did an outstanding job compiling these lists and presenting them. Hopefully, these articles will help you be better prepared for your fantasy football draft.
Did players like Kansas City Chiefs Travis Kelce and De'Anthony Thomas make the list? Where is Tom Brady on the list of fantasy quarterbacks late in his career? If you have the number one overall pick, who is the top running back on the board?
One thing that can help an owner make a run at the title in his league is to know what players might be sleepers. Which players should you target in the middle rounds who might be productive? Who are are some of the hidden gems for late in the draft?
Sleepers can make a fantasy season if you target the correct ones. The great thing about sleepers is that if you take a chance on just one, maybe two, if they don't pan out, it doesn't hurt you. Select the right one, and you are in the playoffs.
Who are the rookies set to make the biggest fantasy football impact?
Which defenses appear to be the strongest? Which units will get you the most sacks? Interceptions? Which will allow the fewest points?
You can find tips to all of these questions and more with the KC Kingdom fantasy football lists.
Good luck to all, and we hope you have very successful fantasy football season.

4 Myths About College You May Be Falling For
DSST debunks common myths about attending college as a non-traditional student.

DSST debunks common myths about attending college as a non-traditional student.
U.S. workers earn $16,000 more per year with Bachelor's degrees over High School diplomas; unemployment drops to 4.9 percent with Bachelor's degree, 9.4 percent without. DSST exams help students earn college degrees faster and help workers win jobs sooner and with higher pay.
Mohawk Valley Community College announced the opening of an Educational Opportunity Center in downtown Utica to combat a percentage of adults with a college degree that is 10% behind the New York State average.
The Army Career and Alumni Program (ACAP) at Fort Bliss helps 4,000 veterans return to the workforce each year.
In a recent report issued by Georgetown University, analysts provide insight as to just how much you stand to benefit by having a college degree.

the social and behavioral sciences, particularly those who have a background in conducting projects in interdisciplinary research teams—what is needed to design and develop an advanced learning environment. Far too many learning environments are launched without the required empirical testing on usability, engagement, and learning gains. The pace of new technologies hitting the market is so fast that there typically is not enough time to adequately test the systems. Therefore, there is a need for basic research, theoretical models, and tools to forecast the quality of learning environment designs before or during their potential development.
The role of technology in training has had its critics. Cuban (1986, 2001) documented that technology has historically had a negligible impact on improvements in education. Clark (1983) argued that it is the pedagogy underlying a learning environment, not the technology per se, that typically explains learning gains. That conclusion of course suggests that we investigate how particular technologies are aligned with particular pedagogical principles, theories, models, hypotheses, or intuitions. For example, a film clip on how to dismantle an improvised explosive device is not a technology or subject matter naturally aligned with a pedagogical theory that emphasizes active discovery learning. Reading texts on the web about negotiation strategies is not well aligned with a social learning theory that embraces modeling-scaffolding-fading.
It is important to start with a broad perspective on the landscape of learning technologies and learning theories (National Research Council, 2000; O'Neil and Perez, 2003). Any given technology, T, affords a number of cognitive, social, and pedagogical mechanisms, M (Gee, 2003; Kozma, 1994; Norman, 1988). In addition to these TM mappings, it is essential to consider the goals, G, of the learning environment: Is the learning environment designed for quick training on shallow knowledge about an easy topic or for deep learning about explanations of a complex system? It is essential to consider the characteristics of the learner, L, such as high or low knowledge of the subject matter and high or low verbal ability. The resulting TMGL landscape of cells needs to be explored. Some cells are promising conditions for learning, others are impossible, and groups of cells give rise to interesting interactions.
We advocate a long-term research roadmap that identifies an appropriate TMGL landscape for military training and that selects research projects that strategically cover cells that need attention. For example, there has not been enough research on learning gains from serious games that afford active discovery learning in adults with low reading ability. In contrast, there is a wealth of research on learning gains from intelligent tutoring systems on algebra and physics that spans the gamut of learner characteristics, pedagogical mechanisms, and learning goals (Anderson, Corbett, Koedinger, and Pelletier, 1995; Corbett, 2001; VanLehn et al., 2002).

Marshmallow treats shaped like onigiri (rice balls)
I saw this and it lead me into thinking of making this, but instead it turned out like the above. I originally thought of using melted chocolate for the seaweed parts but didn't turn out as neat as I imagined. One of them has a cola hard candy as the salted plum. Most of these are filled with nutella :)
Welp, these were experimental.
I'll have to pick up some fruit leather and maybe those Dots candies to use a red one to be the plum for round 2!

Buffboy, I recall that shortly after 9-11 you posed the question:
If you had a button you could push, that would kill every muslim on the planet, would you push it?
we have enough bush/cheney bashing threads going already.
lets keep this one to Islam bashing shall we???
Buffboy, I recall that shortly after 9-11 you posed the question:
If you had a button you could push, that would kill every muslim on the planet, would you push it?
Moderate Islam-we only want to kill the Jews-for now.
Memo from a dream-
Arab Street Erupts in Rage Over Beheading Video
(2004-05-11) -- The so-called 'Arab Street' erupted in rage and grief today, as devoted Muslims crowded into public squares by the hundreds of thousands, in dozens of cities, to denounce the brutal videotaped beheading of American Nicholas Berg by Muslim extremists affiliated with Al Qaeda.
"This is an outrageous, disgusting and obscene act of evil done in the name of our peaceful religion and in our own backyard," said one unnamed Muslim cleric in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. "We mourn with Mr. Berg's family at this horrible loss. We renounce not only this act of violence, but all acts of terror."
The governments of all Arab League nations made a joint statement condemning the slaughter of Mr. Berg, and committing $100 billion toward the elimination of Al Qaeda and other Muslim terror groups.
"We pledge money, troops and intelligence resources in an all-out effort to end this scourge," the Arab league statement declared. "We apologize for our past failures to rein-in or arrest extremists in our ranks. As of today, we are turning the tables on the terrorists. Now, it's their turn to be afraid."
Ah another hate post about Muslims and Arab Americans.
You guys hide behind your keyboard and talk a bunch of crap about people who you know nothing about. You think we all fit the geeky classroom nerd stereotype or 7-11-guy crap. Guess again!!!!!
You want the moderate Muslims and the Arab Americans to hold demonstrations to speak out against the scum that are using the religion to commit terror. First of all when did any of you ever listen to anyones opinion other than your own ignorant opinion and media manifested bigotry. All of the terrorists who flew into the Towers were illegal aliens. Get over it they outsmarted the CIA, the FBI and the INS. Not to mention their boss was a guy recruited by the self-proclaimed commander in chief's dear old dad. Furthermore, the bin Laden family has had monetary ties to the White House God Squader and his family for decades.
You lost loved ones on that day like myself but perhaps you ought to learn from it and move on. This country has turned into a "what about me bull**** society" and all of you whining pussies are proof. You want to do something good for the loved ones lost on that day then take a good look at yourselves. What have you done to better your community? What have you done to help your fellow man regardless of his faith? Instead you sorry excuses cling to the media and politics and still don't get it.
First of all most of you believe that Jihad means holy war. It does not. It never did. The word Jihad means to struggle. Yet the media has taken a word and brainwashed the many uninformed viewers like yourselves into believing a myth. The masses over there want the same freedoms we have yet our leadership to this day would rather put in power puppet scumbags and to deny those people of the same freedoms that we are supposedly all about. Some of those leaders are similar to the Taliban!
As far as religion is concerned. From the very beginning of religious history, men and women have abused the power of their God and bastardized religion and its texts for their own benefit. That would include the Pope, Rabbi's, Imam's etc.
Evil Pope = Inquisition / Holocaust = Sexual molestation of kids
Evil Rabbi = Caephus trying Jesus and delivering him to Pilate for Murder
Evil Imam= The scumbags who hid behind Islam to offer a place for Alquaeda to train and concoct their terror strategies.
Evil Southern Protestant Pastor = slavery = racism
Now let's see are all Catholics child molesters? The answer is no!!! Were all Catholics supportive of the inquisition and the holocaust? The answer is no!!!
Are all Jews responsible for the death of Christ? The answer is no!!!
Are all Muslims and Arabs responsible for the actions of the Taliban, Hussein, and Bin Laden to name a few? The answer is no!!!!!!!!!
Are all southern Protestants responsible for the disparity in income and education for blacks in this country? The answer is no they are not?
Instead of fixating on the news and on celebrities. Perhaps you ought to fixate on how you can help your local fire department, your local schools, and your local police department. If you want to go catch Alquaeda then take some coursework in Arabic and Islam and see if you are smart enough to work in an anti-terror capacity for the government. Pat Tillman died in Afghanistan and most of you still don't get it
This is serious, I'm not saying this in jest...
Do you think it's inbreeding? That's why arabs are so screwed up?

The war in Iraq is about propping up oil prices!!!!!!!!!!
Coincidentally the scumbag Saudi's are trying to increase production so oil prices can stabilize till the election then trade in that SUV.
I know enough that a dear friend went to work some fine Tuesday morning in September, and never came back. There Saturday, hanging at a bachelor party. Didn't make it to the wedding the follwoing Saturday.
Same with my best friend in 6th grade..
Same with a guy I played peewee with..
Same with more neighbors than I care to count...
And all we ever get from you guys is "yes, but the Jews, this isn't really Islam, you don't know what we're about, it's about peace and submission, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH"
I know Muslims come here and don't bother trying to assimilate. In the words of Axel Rose, you guys want to set up your own Mini-Iran here. There's going to come a point when we won't be able to ignore this stupidity mascarading as a philosophy. I've read the Koran. Seems like anytime Mohammed got pissed at a tribe (and especially Jewish tribes), time to say Allah told him to break out a can of serious medieval whoop ass on'em, behead the men and divvy up the womenfolk and children.That is, when he wasn't coopting Arab folk customs like worshiping that rock in Mecca.
And with all due respect, you don't know me, my family, or the things we've done in many of the exact areas you cite.
Asking as dark and empty culture as Islam to grow a sense of humor is a waste of time. We're all supposed to accept and conform to Islam uncritically. NO QUESTIONS ALLOWED, right? As to every other Western religious group you mention, those wrongs have at least been addressed, discussed, exposed and corrected, even if it's taken a while. None are perfect, since they have human beings involved. And there will be problems in the future. When we get such a concession from the "Religion of Peace" and it's memebers, let us all know.
Again, get yourself a real vocabulary without curse words. Almost everything else you type is incomprehensible gibberish.

Guilty of 'thrill kill'
A Northern California teenager has been found guilty in the "thrill kill" death of a high school classmate.
Santa Clara County jurors took only one day of deliberating to find 20-year-old Jae Williams of San Jose guilty on Wednesday of first-degree murder.
Williams, along with then 16-year-old Randy Thompson, were arrested for choking and fatally stabbing a supposed friend, 15-year old Michael Russell, in November 2009.
Prosecutors say Williams and Thompson were tried separately because they implicated each other in police interviews.
Authorities say that Williams told investigators that he and Thompson participated in Satanism and killed Russell for the thrill of it.
Williams confessed to investigators to stabbing Russell saying he just wanted to kill somebody.
Williams is scheduled to be sentenced July 11.

Once the accolades to departing members were over, at 8 p.m., the Senate got to work.
The first bill it considered was a measure that requires utility companies to obtain a property owner's consent before trimming and removing trees on their land, and sets up a mediation process to resolve complaints.
Sen. Bob Duff, D-Norwalk, called the legislation "balanced" and "reasonable."
It passed the chamber on a unanimous vote and now awaits Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's signature.
"I believe it will give confidence to ratepayers across the state that when there is tree-trimming, it is done in a fair and balanced manner," Duff said. "It does protect our infrastructure, it keeps the lights on but does it in a way that keeps our state as beautiful…as we've always had it."
Utility tree-trimming practices received a great deal of public attention and some criticism following a devastating storm in October 2011, when wide swaths of the state were plunged into darkness for more than a week. Storm Sandy, a year later, also caused prolonged power outages.
Last year, the legislature addressed tree-trimming in a sweeping energy bill, but the new legislation adds what supporters say are some needed improvements, such as the mediation panel. It also establishes a dedicated email account for property owners to relay their concerns to the utilities.
Environmental groups have been critical of what they say is overly aggressive tree-trimming and removal by utility companies and had pushed the legislature to consider more restrictions.
"This legislation will protect residents' property rights and make it easier for them to speak up and protect public trees in their neighborhoods," said Zachary Bestor, legal fellow at the Connecticut Fund for the Environment.
"We understand the need to balance keeping the lights on and protecting trees that clean our air and make our communities pleasant places to live, and this bill is a good start," Bestor said. "We had hoped for more explicit protections for healthy trees, and without them, the public will need to remain vigilant in objecting to inappropriate tree cutting."
Duff and other lawmakers who back the bill called it a good compromise.

One of the happiest moments of my life was on January 15th, 1995. Although that day is no match for the births of either of my children, it definitely ranks in the top ten of any "happy moments" that I've ever experienced.
My family and I lived in Otsego, Michigan, at that time. We lived in a house on Farmer Street which was right down the road from Memorial Park where I had spent my younger years playing youth football.
That day was the Chargers' AFC Championship playoff game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bolts came in as HUGE underdogs on the road. There wasn't supposed to be anything that could happen in that game that would allow the Chargers to come out on top.
Well, we went into Pittsburgh and snatched the victory right out from underneath the Steelers' feet on their home turf.
I'll never, ever, forget that day. Without regurgitating all the details, when Dennis Gibson knocked down the pass intended for Barry Foster, my dad and I went absolutely berserk. Running all over the house while screaming and yelling. Giving each other multiple high-fives in the process. An immediate embrace at the games conclusion. My dad and I weren't exactly "huggers," at the time. But that day we were.
Neither myself, nor my father, will ever forget that day. Where were you on the day that sent the Chargers to their one and only Superbowl?
Please, leave your story at the bottom in the comment section. I want to see how many of the Bolt Family members remember exactly where they were on the historic day.
