Last Dance Lyrics - Brian Mcknight
Oh yeah
Fa, la, la, la
Fa, la, la, la
Fa, la, la, la, la, hey
Fa, la, la, la
Fa, la, la, la
Fa, la, la, la, ooh
Do I know more than we knew then?
Or do we know less and we just pretend
Your brought out my heart and walked away
Your eyes tell me more than words could ever say
[1] - Should we take a chance
And dance the last dance?
Should we spend the night
One last time
Caught up in this romance
sponsored linksOr maybe wait and see, let it be
The way that it will be
Should we take a chance
And dance the last dance
How can I be wrong?
When I feel the way I feel
How can I deny, emotions that's so real
In the middle of the night
I call out your name
Do I ever cross your mind?
Do you feel the same?
[Repeat 1]
Let me go, come to me
Which way is the way it should be
This is so bittersweet
There's no way that we can love enough to show
If we take the chance
[Repeat 1 till end]

My standard memory card for shooting; the Sandisk 8gb Ultra is a great compromise between size, speed & cost.
What you need out of your card is going to depend on what you shoot and how you shoot it. I choose this particular card as it provides a decent shoots' worth of images, around 300 at 12mp, while not being too expensive (until you buy half a dozen!). Any larger and you risk too many photos on one memory card and any smaller and you'll be chopping and changing all day.
I'm fairly certain that CF cards are mainly for the SLR market, so what speed to you need to get?
Well, considering your SLR has an integrated buffer which provides you with some lee-way with the speed of your card you can afford to get a slower memory card. Of course, when you start pushing the card with hunderds of RAW files a minute you will see the benefit of a larger card.
However, shooting on a D300 provides around 7 full-size RAW frames in the buffer continuous. None of my work requires me to shoot continuous RAW frames for longer than that I never fill the buffer and therefore never need the additional speed of the higher priced cards. If you think that you will be shooting more than once a second for long periods then you probably need to look elsewhere.
The advantage of getting this branded, SanDisk card over cheaper types is that the speed (15Mb/s) is often more than what cheaper cards can handle. You also get some reassurance that the card will be tougher and apparently more reliable than non-branded or economy cards - while this might not be true it's not something I want to find out the hard way.
When the shooting turns fast and furious, serious photographers turn to SanDisk Ultra II CompactFlash. So fast, you're always ready for the next shot. So rugged, environmental conditions are never a problem. When every shot counts, choose SanDisk Ultra II CompactFlash.
SanDisk Ultra II memory cards feature faster performance, greater storage capacities, and better dependability, so you can get the most from your investment in a feature-rich, high-quality digital camera or camcorder.

OMG hahahaha!!!!!!! I love how Jeff portrayed Venus in Scorpio. It made me think of some of the ladies at the club I belong to. I am a Libra and will indeed heed the advice of the day since I have to roll with the punches with my life right now. Love you guy!!! You are part of my morning ritual and a day without Planet Pulse is as bad as a day without coffee!!!
You may not like "Venus in Scorpio" but I have to admit, she still tells like it is! Thanks, Jeff!
Thank you for your insight and helpful advice; along with your sense of humor!!!! Helps a lot through whatever times (or planets) we're going through. Blessings! Have a nice Sunday!
Wow, you guys hit the nail on the head: as you explained these complex Sept. 19 aspects I could see how to apply and negotiate through life's issues which, of course, are just as complex. The lesson for me today is to stay in the present, not set the bar too high, but prioritize and be efficient in accomplishing tasks. See, like you said, complex but thoughtful.
Thanks... that was really helpful,thanks again for all your hard work....really is appreciated guys, x
Trying to do that now: direct clarity without the fluff and being too wordy! Thank you again, Guys!

Doug Collins has removed his name from consideration, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.
Avery Johnson: 85 percent
From Stein:
That would appear to leave an unobstructed path to the job for ex-Dallas Mavericks coach Avery Johnson, who just completed his first season in TV as an analyst for ESPN.
Sources close to the situation told ESPN that Johnson had his first substantive discussion with Dumars about the position earlier Wednesday.
John Kuester: 8 percent
Nothing has changed since the previous odds. He still has no NBA head-coaching experience.
Bill Laimbeer: 6 percent
Would he make sense as an assistant under Johnson?
Other: 1 percent
No names besides the aforementioned have surfaced.

Tuesday was the first day of voluntary minicamp for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and with it came lots of news on both sides of the ball.
Earlier, I went over all the notes on the offensive side of the football. Now, we'll look at what was reported on the defensive side:
- Both Dashon Goldson and Mark Barron didn't participate in minicamp due to "minor off-season injuries" according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune adds that Da'Quan Bowers didn't take part either.
- Jonathan Casillas has fully recovered from his knee injury, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
- Second year corner Johnthan Banks is excited to have a veteran like Mike Jenkins on the roster and embraces competition with him moving forward.
- Akeem Spence is looking forward to the opportunity to learn from free agent signing Clinton McDonald. Spence also added that he is "excited" by the Bucs new defense according to Auman.
- Adrian Clayborn isn't discouraged by the fact that the Bucs reportedly won't exercise his option for 2015.
- Leonard Johnson, D.J. Moore, and Deveron Carr were all pulled aside at the start of practice to work in the nickel.
In addition, here are a couple of quotes from head coach Lovie Smith, courtesy of Auman:
"Everyone has been here all offseason really, and that's what you expect. It's voluntary work, but if you want to get better, why would you pass up an opportunity? I appreciate that from the team. All you can do in April is just show up and try to get better."
"They're anxious to prove where they belong on the depth chart. We're anxious to see where everyone belongs on the depth chart. We have a lot of work to do, a long ways to go, but we'll get there."

Aaron set to savor 40th anniversary of 715th homer
Hank Aaron was more relieved than jubilant after he broke Babe Ruth's home-run record on April 8, 1974.
The 40-year anniversary of his 715th homer provides a different perspective.
Aaron's record-breaking homer will be celebrated on Tuesday night before the Atlanta Braves' home opener against the New York Mets.
Hate mail and threats made it impossible for him to savor the chase of Ruth's revered record, but on Monday he said he'll enjoy the anniversary because such old friends as former teammate Dusty Baker will return for the pregame ceremony.
"I guess that's just about what it's all about, really," Aaron said in a telephone interview. "That's it. The moment itself has passed. The home run was hit and whatever else. It's just enjoying some moments with friends."
Aaron, 80, said he has a greater appreciation for fans who still celebrate his career.
"It does. It means an awful lot to me," Aaron said.
"I'm not one to go around bragging about certain things. I played the game because I loved the game. … I am quite thrilled that people say that he, whatever he did, should be appreciated. That makes me feel good."
Emory students digging into Hank Aaron's history
Three Emory University baseball players who set out to explore the history of the sport's legends last year didn't expect to find a connection between themselves and names like Hank Aaron, Ernie Banksor Pete Rose.
Kyle Arbuckle, Warren Kember and Brett Lake teamed up last year to dig through Emory's collection of Hank Aaron materials, donated in 2013 by a former scout for the Atlanta Braves. The collection includes scouting reports, contracts and sometimes nasty letters Aaron received as he chased Babe Ruth's home run record. Tuesday marks the 40th anniversary of his 715th home run, one better than Ruth. His record of 755 stood for decades until Barry Bonds passed it with 762.
The reports included scouts' critiques of Aaron that the Emory juniors have heard about their own play.
"Soft hands." "Can't run." "No chance for power."
Turns out, athletes at every level know the sting of criticism.
The students were the first to look at some of the documents in Emory's collection, said Pellom McDaniels, an assistant professor of African-American Studies and curator of African-American collections at Emory. It's rare for undergraduates to be as engaged with library collections as the teammates became, especially without getting course credit for the work, McDaniels said.
But they saw themselves in the yellowing paperwork, especially the scouting reports.
The exhibit the students created using the library materials opens on April 24 at the university's Robert W. Woodruff Library.
Kember got the project started after he attended a lecture series on race in sports culture. He went to McDaniels the next day and asked to look at the collection on Aaron.
"I was just like a kid in the candy store flipping through the scouting reports," said Kember, 21.
They all were horrified by the negative and occasionally threatening letters that Aaron received.
But the item that stands out most for Arbuckle, 20, and Lake, 21, is a photo taken at the moment Aaron hit his 715th home run. A screen in the outfield reads "Move over Babe."

text: Hey kids welcome to another edition of Weekly Reactions, thanks for stopping by. What a week of NFL Football action, eh? Teams that needed to win didn't and those that were expected to lose, won. We learned, just like in that one episode of Spongebob that, "That's what you think, but it's not ever yet!" Indeed we learned that week fifteen, much like Patrick and Spongebob's friendship, was an incredibly complicated week with all of the playoff implications and such but don't worry you clicked on the right article, folks. In this week's edition of Weekly Reactions, we will strain out all of the action and deliver the analysis and insight you need to get through another week in the NFL. Be careful though, you may want to wear a seat belt.

Over the Christmas weekend, I wasn't exactly scanning the airwaves for up-to-the-minute updates on the health of Jeff Foster. So it was a surprise to me that he was in a suit last night instead of a Pacers uniform. He sat out after having "tweaked" his back in the team's final preseason game against Chicago, according to Pacers beat writer Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star.
And unfortunately for the team's depth, Jeff will continue to look like the epitome of Bankers Life over there on the sidelines for the next few games.
The Indiana Pacers began the season with just 13 players on the roster and for the next week they're going to be really thin in the frontcourt.
Jeff Foster [back] and Jeff Pendergraph [sprained knee] are currently sidelined, which means backups Tyler Hansbrough and Louis Amundson will get a lot of minutes behind starters David West and Roy Hibbert.
Foster is expected to be ready for game action in about a week, while Pendergraph should start practicing next week, reports The Indianapolis Star.
This means a shorter big-man rotation for Coach Frank Vogel, who will be hoping to get worthwhile spot minutes out of the non-injured four guys he has on his roster he doesn't consider to be "starters."
"The way I look at our depth now is that it's like we've almost got seven starters and we still have quality bench players as well," Vogel said. "I look at George Hill and Tyler Hansbrough as deserving starter minutes."
Lou Amundson didn't see the court in the team's season-opening rout of the Pistons. Instead, the only big men to play were actual starters Roy Hibbert and David West as well as Tyler Hansbrough, who will presumably be the first big off the bench all season. But we can probably expect Lou to get some extended run in the near-term since, starting tomorrow, the Pacers play 7 games in 11 days.
Hopefully, at least Foster and perhaps even offseason acquisition Jeff Pendergraph join the rotation at some point during that stretch.

The future of baseball in this area looks bright.
While observing the final game of the Dizzy Dean 8-year-old South State Tournament on Tuesday, it became obvious that there are some pretty talented players emerging from the younger pool locally.
COLUMBUS ŌĆō The ride is over for the 12-year-old Starkville All-Stars.

Wichita, Kan. -- Wichita is the air capital as the slogan says, but you wouldn't expect to find that applying to a man who owns a local Transmission repair shop.
John Newman, though, has been in the business for more than three decades, but what he really loves to build might surprise you. In a small transmission shop near Wichita's downtown, the dog watches the front door, but doesn't easily move.
It is part of what makes the place comfortable. John Newman has owned this place for decades.
This is his work. However, building large scale flying model airplanes is his fun.
His most recent one, a flying model B-17.
"It's considered a giant scale."
John and his friend Jerry Shumaker have been building giant scale model airplanes for years. But this one is their largest.
"The wingspan on this airplane is 17 and a half feet, it weighs 219 pounds. It took us five years to build and it came in a 'kit' form. We bought the wood by itself when we initially started and went from there." says Newman.
"This is about as far as we want to go on the size." says Shumaker.
John and Jerry have been building for decades, and in this structure, which is in a location separate from the transmission repair business, you can see the results of their labor…previous models hanging from the ceiling and put everywhere there is airspace.
"This is totally a hobby. There is no business in it at all. We just enjoy building it, my partner and I do." says Newman.
Shumaker says "We had a ball, John and I both."
With a 17 foot wingspan and $100,000 worth materials and time invested, It will probably be a bit nerve-wracking when John takes those radio controls for the first time.
"Yes, it is undiscovered territory what we're doing here on this big of a model. It will be like the first flight of a real airplane."
But Jerry says 'he' might not be nervous. "Well, I won't, because I'll probably go hide."
In the meantime, during the rest of winter both John Newman and Jerry Shumaker will calm their nerves by continue to create these mammoth winged Radio Controlled aircraft. It is their love and their life.

Bengals 21, Ravens 9
Game 8: Continuing to drop
Stagnant offense, Bengals' drives leave Ravens 2-6 at midway point

- | single page
In yesterday's 21-9 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Ravens suffered through everything that has gone so horribly wrong this season in freeze-frame clarity, crashing at the midway point with an exasperating thud.
If the Ravens needed any more embarrassment, their third straight loss dropped them to 2-6, matching their worst record ever halfway into a season. A team that trumpeted itself as a Super Bowl contender just two months ago, the Ravens now must worry about their division, and it has nothing to do with having sole possession of last place in the AFC North.
"When you're stopping them, you've got to come back and score points," cornerback Samari Rolle said. "At some point, [the Bengals are] going to score, regardless of how you play. It just gets frustrating; every week we lose the same way."
Rolle's finger was pointing squarely at the Ravens' woeful offense, which heard an increasing amount of boos after each drive from the M&T Bank Stadium crowd.
The Ravens reached the red zone on half of their eight drives and came away with three field goals. They ran 16 plays inside the 20-yard line and never got past the Bengals' 4.
This ineptness has been status quo. The Ravens have scored one touchdown in their past 15 quarters and none in their past seven.
"I can do the math. You can't trade sevens for three, plain and simple," Ravens coach Brian Billick said, referring to the fact that the Bengals scored three touchdowns while the Ravens settled for three field goals. "If you get an opportunity to score or stop them, you can't trade touchdowns for field goals, and that's what we did today."
The defense almost bailed out the Ravens early in the third quarter, when Cincinnati led 14-6.
After Adalius Thomas' hit forced Bengals tight end Matt Schobel to fumble, safety Will Demps picked up the ball and ran 58 yards to the end zone. But an inadvertent referee's whistle blew the play dead upon Demps' recovery, which took away the apparent touchdown.
"It was an error," referee Jeff Triplette said of the quick whistle. "By rule, there is nothing we can do."
Demps simply said he didn't hear the whistle, but cornerback Chris McAlister didn't take the same diplomatic tone.
"It's hard playing against the refs, too," McAlister said. "That's what it boils down to. Blowing the whistle early, them not seeing the ball come out. ... I don't know how they didn't see the ball come out early. It's been the saga of our season. It happens every time we step on the field."
The Ravens believe they have received questionable calls since their 21-penalty debacle a month ago in Detroit, where two of their players were ejected for bumping into officials.
"Just take away these guys' stripes," McAlister said. "They never played the game; you shouldn't let them call it."
Instead of scoring a touchdown off a turnover, the Ravens went three-and-out and punted, another shortcoming that came back to haunt them against the first-place Bengals (7-2).
"This game could have changed the season around for us," quarterback Anthony Wright said. "We had high hopes about this game. That one play could have changed the whole complexion of the game."
Wright injured his left ankle late in the third quarter, and Kordell Stewart came in to spark the offense for one series. He ran three times for 30 of the drive's 50 yards and nearly caught a potential touchdown pass on a trick play.

Omg. thank youuu<3 :) After the initial bulk of the weight loss, the abs themselves have taken 5 solid months to develop - under a layer of fat to begin with, but I still worked on them none the less. I started to actually feel them under the fat a few months ago but couldn't see them yet so I kept working on them as well as lowering my bf% and in the last month they have just really started to pop. :) Soooo much hard work and dedication but SO worth every damn second.

Sherwood, AR
The Roundtop Filling Station is a blast from the past and offers visitors an exciting look at an historic landmark right in Sherwood. Sherwood only has two venues listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Filling Station is one of them. Constructed in 1936, this site is one of the earliest gas stations in the area that still survives. It has an interesting history, as the station was built for the Pierce Oil Company that itself was one of the so-called 'baby standards' that came into existence after the monumental government-forced break up of Standard Oil in 1911.
One of the great aspects of living in Arkansas in general, and Sherwood in particular, is the great weather. Stellar weather means plenty of opportunity to hit the links for a few rounds of golf. When this is the case, there is no better place to tee off than at the Greens at North Hills. One of the best aspects this golf course is that it is accessible to the public and provides a competitive golfing climate nestled in a scenic environment. Not only can visitors get a few rounds of golf in, but there are also golfing lessons available to sharpen your game skills.

Levi's Made & Crafted AW13 Lookbook
Beyond Fabric x Purificacion Garcia #1
Following my previous introduction to its SS13 collection, I got a chance to style some looks for Purificacion Garcia using my favourite pieces for the season.
Starting with what might just be my first choice among all the garments in the collection, and one of the season's essentials, this suede bomber jacket instantly earned its way to the top spots of my wishlist. The beautiful taupe shade with chambray lining and orange/burgundy highlights on the pockets and zippers, set the mood for the whole look. A contrasting pale blue crewneck sweater underneath, dark denim with contrast orange stitching and supple suede boots pick up the chromatic and texture themes. The stripped knit tie adds a dash of color and pattern to the mix..
Styling: Miguel Amaral Vieira
Meltin' Pot AW13 Preview, Firenze
Although during Pitti all the attentions are mainly focused on the Fortezza itself, the truth is Firenze becomes stage for numerous parties, cocktails, showrooms and previews. After the fair closes its doors, there's still a lot of activity going on scattered throughout the city center that's worth taking a closer look: that was just the case with the Meltin' Pot showroom…
Set in a unique "Wild Wild West meets underground punk gothic" scenario, Meltin' Pot presented its AW13 collection resorting to a healthy dose of revivalism, through creative director Leopoldo Durante's re-editions of some of the most renowned models. Inspired by over 19 years of historical archives, the result is a mind blowing array of options focused on details, fit and versatility - fully reversible two colorway versions, pipe stitching, special washes and finishings, unique fabrics, the works. See the wooly pants on the bottom pic? They're actually made from heavily brushed denim giving it that soft texture and feel: brilliant…
To top it off (pun intended), beautiful earthy toned knits with plays on texture and a selection of jackets ranging from fitted wool peacoats to lightweight waterproof technical parkas.

:: Home > General News > Roma children live in ghettos in Romanian towns
© europics.at
29. 02. 12. - 12:00
29. 02. 12. - 12:00
Roma children in Romanian towns live in isolation and without access to a water supply, among others, a UNICEF report said today (Tues).
The UNICEF "State of the world's children 2012 - children in urban world" report refers to Roma children as well, who suffer from a lack of education, living in real ghettos, isolated on the outskirts of towns and without access to a water supply.
In Central and Eastern Europe, Roma children continue to have substantially lower vaccination coverage, with appalling consequences. When Bulgaria experienced an outbreak of measles in 2009, 90 per cent of all cases occurred among the ethnic Roma community, the report reads.
Romania, home to more than half a million Roma according to the latest official data (other estimates run as high as 2.8 million), illustrates the difficulties and opportunities involved in efforts to eliminate disparities and promote inclusion.
In 2001, the government adopted a national strategy to improve the situation of Roma throughout the country. Ten years on, only 13 per cent of local governments have implemented specific measures for Roma communities.
Poverty affects Roma communities in both urban and rural Romania; the poorest are clustered mainly in mid-size towns and larger villages, the report reads.
What sets the situation in urban settings apart, here as in the wider region, is the separation of Roma from the rest of the municipal population, with the Roma population
living in de facto ghettos. The problem of "ghettoization" is a clear physical manifestation of exclusion.
Its roots date back to the mid-1800s, when laws were passed freeing Roma from centuries of slavery. Without any policies to promote and ease integration, freed Roma settled on the margins of urban areas essentially, on no mans land.
Roma communities remain isolated many are not connected to public utilities. The absence of permanent housing, combined with a lack of birth or identity documents, can significantly limit access to health care, education and employment.
Evictions frequently occur without warning, reinforcing this segregation, the report reads.
In 2005, only 46 per cent of the Roma population aged 12 and above had spent more than four years in school (compared with 83 per cent of the general population), and of those only 13 per cent acquired at least some secondary education (63 per cent among the general population).

I would like some help confirming I'm being billed correctly. I went round and round with a couple VZ CSR reps who became a bit rude with me due to me asking a number of questions.I have the following:Two Cisco CHS 435HDCOne Cisco CHS 335HDCMy bill states the following:Multi-Room DVR Package - 2 Room $31.98High Definition DVR Rental - $16.99Is this correct? Maybe I'm not understanding correctly, but it seems to me that the HD DVR rental is wrongs and it should really be a STB rental and I should be charged 11.99 a month instead of 16.99 per month? Or am I billed correctly since I can access recordings on other boxes throughout the house?Thanks for any clarification you can provide. Also, I live in MD if that makes any pricing difference.Robert
Multi-Room DVR Package = 1 435HDC and 1 335HDC ($31.98)HD DVR Rental = 1 435HDC ($16.99)The Multi-Room DVR package includes one HD DVR and x number of STBs. You could save a little money and go with a Multi-Room DVR Package for 3 rooms for $39.99. It would give you 1 HD DVR and 2 STBsYou are being billed correctly. No comment on whether the prices Verizon charge for these under-featured Cisco devices is worth it or not --Mission Accomplished

Stand up for Sick Days: Support AB 1522
Sign the Petition
When illness strikes, many workers are faced with a devastating decision: go to work sick or lose pay that keeps food on the table or the lights on in the house. That's because California law doesn't require employers to allow workers to earn paid time off to recover from an illness or take care of a sick family member. In California, four in ten workers have no paid sick time – leaving about 5 million Californians with no good option when personal or family needs arise.
The problem is even worse among low-wage and service-sector workers – among whom 78% can earn no sick leave. And working moms are hit the hardest. Imagine not being able to care for a sick child or yourself because your boss doesn't offer any paid sick leave. That's an unfortunate reality for far too many Californians because even a days' wage is often too much to lose. That means that three out of every four workers serving you food, caring for your children, or even providing healthcare is forced to show up for work sick.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Cities and states across the country have passed Paid Sick Leave laws, and the results speak for themselves. In San Francisco, which passed a Paid Sick Leave law in 2007, job growth was unaffected and of the vast majority of employers reported no impact on productivity. Under new legislation in California, Assembly Bill 1522, employees would earn one hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked – with an option for employers to cap accrued sick time at 3 days per year. That's common-sense, family-supporting legislation that's long overdue.
Please sign the petition in support of AB 1522 to provide Paid Sick Days protections for all California workers.

Close the Walmart Loophole!
Just The Facts FAQs AB 880 (Gomez) Take Action! In the News
When large corporations like Walmart dodge their responsibilities to provide health care to their employees, taxpayers are forced to pick up the tab. That's unfair, and it must change.
AB 880 (Gomez) demands that the state's largest corporations pay their fair share like the rest of us. It closes the 'Walmart Loophole" in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that encourages big, profitable companies to cut hours and wages so low that workers end up on taxpayer-funded programs like Medi-Cal. The law would assess a penalty on unscrupulous corporations that are pushing their costs onto taxpayers. And it improves access to affordable medical care for millions of low-income Californians.
Just the Facts
- The Affordable Care Act is designed to ensure everyone – employers, taxpayers and the government – pay their fair share. The ACA requires big employers to pay a penalty to offset the costs of public subsidies for their workers' healthcare.
- However, big corporations are exploiting a loophole in the ACA, which does not impose a penalty on employers whose workers enroll in Medi-Cal. That means that employers who pay low wages, reduce hours and fail to provide benefits are able to evade the ACA penalties and shift the cost of health coverage for their employees onto taxpayers.
- A 2004 study by the UC Berkeley Labor Center found that Walmart workers' reliance on public health care programs cost the state $32 million annually, and that figure has continued to grow.
- Now, according to a new report from UC Berkeley found that as many as 380,000 workers employed by Walmart and other big companies will end up on the state's Medi-Cal program by 2019.
- The state expansion of the Medi-Cal program allows large employers to shift even more of the costs of their employees' health care onto the public. A childless adult could work 30 hours a week at $10 an hour and still qualify for Medi-Cal. Given that the typical retail worker earns $9.61 an hour, and Walmart workers earn an average wage around $8.81 an hour, many of new Medi-Cal employees will be working for Walmart and other huge, multinational companies with billions in revenue.
- Other large low-wage corporations are also cutting hours and eliminating benefits, since the penalty only applies to full-time employees. Darden Restaurants, which owns Olive Garden and Red Lobster and operates 121 restaurants in California, announced that it will reduce workers' hours to part-time to avoid ACA penalties.
Q: There are already penalties for employers under ACA, why should California get in the way of this federal issue?
A loophole in the ACA encourages large employers like Walmart to circumvent the federal penalties they'd pay if their workers get health coverage through the insurance exchange. They plan to pay workers so little they wind up on the state Medi-Cal program instead. If California doesn't act, our taxpayers and small businesses will pick up the tab for nearly 400,000 workers dumped by big employers by 2019. California must act to protect our taxpayers and small businesses.
Q: Who pays the penalty?
Only very large employers who aren't paying their fair share and dump their health care costs onto taxpayers will pay any penalty. Small and mid-size businesses are exempt.
Q: Will this penalty drive businesses out of state and kill jobs, as big corporate groups claim?
This penalty only applies to those few very large employers who do not provide coverage and pay so little that their employees qualify for Medi-Cal. A large number of these employers are in the retail and restaurant industry—industries that will NEVER leave California because this is where their customers are. California is a huge market for retailers and restaurants and they can't leave the state.
Q: Won't this bill trigger more lawsuits against employers by creating a new class of protected workers? Don't employers in California have enough lawsuits already?
No, this bill does not create a new class of protected workers. What is does is prevent retaliation by employers, so they can't avoid the penalty by intimidating workers into not enrolling in Medi-Cal.
Q: How much will this penalty bring in?
That will be determined by how many companies decide to avoid their responsibilities and instead dump their health care costs onto taxpayers and small businesses. Most companies offer their employees a decent wage and benefits for a hard day's work. This law only impacts those companies that are trying to cheat the system by paying workers so little that they end up on taxpayer-funded programs.
Q: How many employers will this affect?
This bill will only affect the largest, most profitable companies who evade federal law by slashing workers wages and benefits so low they quality for taxpayer-funded Medi-Cal. There are approximately 1200 employers in California with over 500 employees, though not all of them will have workers enrolled in Medi-Cal so won't be subject to the penalty. Responsible employers that pay good wages and provide benefits will not be subject to the penalty.
Q: How will the funds be allocated and who makes that decision?
The funds will be put in a trust fund to pay for the state share of the Medi-Cal program, to increase reimbursement rates for Medi-Cal providers and to county health systems, community clinics and other safety net providers that provide care to the residually uninsured. The Department of Health Care Services will administer the funds.
The revenues from the penalty will take pressure off of the state budget to pay for the Medi-Cal program. Freeing up that revenue means more money for other state programs like schools, public safety and infrastructure.
AB 880 (Gomez)
- AB 880 would close the "Walmart loophole" in the ACA that allows low-wage employers to evade their responsibility to provide affordable coverage or pay a penalty for workers on subsidized coverage. It will ensure that large employers pay their fair share into our public health care system, saving money for the General Fund and improving access to care for recipients.
- Large employers will be subject to a fee if they have employees enrolled in the Medi-Cal program. The fee is equal to the cost of a commercial health plan that large employers provide to employees. The fee will be pro-rated for the number of hours worked by employees enrolled in Medi-Cal.
- Revenues from the fee will be used to pay for the non-federal state share of the Medi-Cal program, to increase reimbursement rates for providers to care for Medi-Cal recipients and to shore up the state's safety net.
- AB 880 does not apply to small or medium-sized businesses. The fee only applies to large private employers with more than 500 employees. Federal, state and local public employers are exempt from the fee.

Take Action to reform Enterprise Zone Corporate Tax Giveaways!
While the state budget is in better shape than previous years, California's economy is still fragile. Every available dollar of state spending should go to creating jobs and strengthening the middle class.
The last thing we should be doing is giving corporate CEOs big tax breaks for eliminating good-paying jobs. Yet, that's exactly what the state's enterprise zone (EZ) program does. This fat giveaway to huge corporations costs taxpayers over $700 million a year while study after study proves that the program doesn't create new jobs.
It's time for action to rein in these tax giveaways that are costing the state hundreds of millions of dollars that should go to real job creation.Click here to send a message to Sacramento today!
Governor Brown has proposed meaningful reform that curbs the worst abuses and waste of taxpayer dollars. His budget closes the outrageous loophole that allows a corporation to get a tax break for someone they don't even currently employ and requires more accountability.
The Governor's proposal is a solid first step to reform this abusive program but much, much more needs to be done. We need your help!
Send a letter of support for the Governor's proposal to reform EZs today! And, if you can, attend an upcoming hearing in your community (schedule of hearings can be found below). We can send corporations a message that the gravy train is over. Act today!
Inequality is Undermining Our Democracy

Inequality is Undermining Our Democracy
By Robert Reich, Robert Reich's Blog
11 December 12
ashington has a way of focusing the nation's attention on tactical games over partisan maneuvers that are symptoms of a few really big problems. But we almost never get to debate or even discuss the big problems because the tactical games overwhelm everything else.
The debate over the fiscal cliff, for example, is really about tactical maneuvers preceding a negotiation about how best to reduce the federal budget deficit. This, in turn, is a fragment of a bigger debate over whether we should be embracing austerity economics and reducing the budget deficit in the next few years or, alternatively, using public spending and investing to grow the economy and increase the number of jobs.
Even this larger debate is just one part of what should be the central debate of our time – why median wages continue to drop and poverty to increase at the same time income and wealth are becoming ever more concentrated at the top, and what should be done to counter the trend.
With a shrinking share of total income and wealth, the middle class and poor simply don't have the purchasing power to get the economy back on solid footing. (The wealthy don't spend enough of their income or assets to make up for this shortfall, and they invest their savings wherever around the world they can get the highest return).
As a result, consumer spending – fully 70 percent of economic activity – isn't up to the task of keeping the economy going. This puts greater pressure on government to be purchaser of last resort.
The dilemma isn't just economic. It's also political. As money concentrates at the top, so does power. That concentrated power generates even more entrenched wealth at the top, and less for the middle class and the poor.
A case in point is what's now happening in Michigan. In the state where the American labor movement was born – and where, because of labor unions, the American middle class once had the bargaining power to gain a significant portion of the nation's total income – Republicans and big money are striking back.
Legislators in the Michigan state House, followed almost immediately by Republicans who dominate the state Senate, voted Thursday afternoon to eliminate basic union organizing and workplace protections for both public and private-sector workers. Michigan Republican Governor Rick Snyder says he'll sign the measure.
This anti-labor blitzkreig was launched and coordinated by "Americans for Prosperity" – a group developed and funded by the right-wing industrialists and billionaire campaign donors Charles and David Koch, to "pave the way for right to work in states across our nation."
The Koch brothers are the same ones, not incidentally, who several years ago backed a group called "Citizen's United," on its way to the Supreme Court for an opinion by the Court's Republican majority that opened the floodgates to big money corrupting our federal and state governments. (The brothers Koch have also entertained Justices Scalia and Thomas at strategy meetings they've organized of Republican donors.)
Connect the dots: As unions have withered, the middle class's share of total income and wealth has dropped. The decline of the median wage in America over the last three decades correlates exactly with the declining percentage of American workers who are unionized.
And as the super-rich have grown even wealthier, they've been able to extend their power through the Supreme Court and the Republican Party – advancing a war on the middle class.
These moneyed interests may lose a skirmish or two, particularly at the federal level when the public's attention is focused there (Michigan voters went overwhelmingly for President Obama and Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow on November 6). But the moneyed interests are patient and relentless and, as is evident in Michigan, able to strike suddenly with extraordinary organization and precision.
They've taken on our tax system, successfully raising taxes on the middle class and the poor (Social Security payroll taxes, sales taxes, and user fees) while reducing their own top marginal tax rates. They've taken on public spending – cutting government workers and programs the poor and middle class depend on (teachers and school budgets, social workers and family support services, job training and unemployment insurance, to name only a few.)
And they've taken on the unions that once negotiated good wages on behalf of the middle class and of those who aspired to join it.
The result has been a degree of inequality this nation hasn't witnessed since the days of the robber barons of the late nineteenth century – an inequality that's harming our economy as much as it's undermining our democracy.
As Washington fiddles over the fiscal cliff, a larger battle over inequality is being waged all over America.

Spicy cauliflower! Heat some oil and add mustard and cumin seeds and a few curry leaves. Then add in chopped onions, and chopped cauliflower. Season with your favorite spices—red chili powder, sambar masala. Then I added a bunch of raw cashews.
This is the lazy vegan version of a pasta dish I posted a while ago. I made the sauce by stir frying a bunch of onions and green onions and garlic in olive oil, then added canned tomatoes, salt and a bit of pepper. I also splashed in a bit of white wine. At the moment I can't remember if I put in any butter…that would make this not vegan though so let's say I didn't? Add your favorite non-dairy non-palm oil substitute to make it a little creamy :-)
I love it when I just absolutely need to get rid of baby spinach because it means I get to stir fry it all! I love eating lots of spinach, and sometimes because baby spinach is kind of a delicacy sort of, I feel like I should save it for salad or sandwiches instead of shrinking it down.
But if you feel a little indulgent, you can stir fry it with chopped green onions and garlic! Really really good. I ate it with some hummus I made and pickled spicy lemons!
Hey folks, it's been a while (let's not count how many times I say that…). But hey! Nothing says spring like asparagus! (I think…)
Anyway, break your asparagus in half, and give it a nice light stir fry with some garlic in olive oil and bam! Yummy, healthy and oh so easy!
This creamy leak pasta dish is a classic I love to make with my mom when I'm home. Basically finely chop up a ton (at least 2, here I went for 3) leaks, finely chop a yellow onion, and let it cook in olive oil. When it is almost done, add 4-5 cloves of sliced garlic, let them get nice and golden then splash some brandy into the pan, and let it cook out. Add 3 cans diced tomatoes (I've always used cans, but I think it would be really good with fresh!), season with thyme and salt and let it thicken.
Meanwhile, slice a bunch of kalamata olives and start your pasta boiling. My mom made homemade pasta, which was absolutely delicious! When the pasta is almost done, throw in the olives and add heavy cream (I used 1 cup for this amount of tomatoes, onions, leaks) and let the flavor sink in for a bit on low heat. Strain your pasta, and combine! Yum!
This dish is the result of having a random mix of veggies in the fridge and not being quite sure what to do with it. Being out of potatoes, the natural go-to for a leafy green, I ended up cooking this swiss chard with sweet potatoes. I heated the oil with cumin seeds and mustard seeds, added the onions and let them cook, then added tumeric. Then I added the sweet potatoes, seasoned with red chili powder and sambar masala, then added the chard and seasoned some more. And forgot to add salt, so some of that was added at the end. It was surprisingly filling and very good!
Sweet potatoes and chard were from J&P Organics, in my CSA box of the week. Everything vegan.
My Parasites class is having a potluck, and so I made this garlic bread to bring! I didn't have any whole wheat flower, so I added some steel cut oats to give it a bit of texture. I mixed the dough, kneaded everything, let it rise, etc. then lightly roasted the garlic and added it when I shaped the dough into loaves. Maybe I can say they symbolize some sort of ectoparasite, the way they are poking out like that from the dough. I know, it can be Botfly Bread!
Another curry—with onions, carrots, potatoes and cauliflower. I'm trying to use as many veggies from my box in one dish as possible so stuff doesn't go bad. I seasoned with sambar masala, gharam masala and red chili powder, mustard seeds and curry leaves, as before. Pretty much same as the previous cauliflower curry I made, except with carrots so it looks a bit more orange!
So mega useful!!!
So mega useful!!!
Wow, I learned a lot from this!
(via infinityman55)
Quick and easy pasta. Started with lots of garlic and broccoli, then added diced tomatoes and spinach. It all cooked down quite a bit, then a dumped on pesto and added the pasta!

Experts develop salt-tolerant, high-yield wheat
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Scientists in Australia have crossed a popular, commercial variety of wheat with an ancient species, producing a hardy, high-yielding plant that is tolerant of salty soil.
The researchers, who published their work on Monday in the journal Nature Biotechnology, hope the new strain will help address food shortages in arid and semi-arid places where farmers struggle with high salinity in the soil.
"This is first time that ... a genetic variation that has been lost in plants through domestication has been reclaimed from a wild relative and put back into the plant," said lead researcher Matthew Gilliham of the University of Adelaide's School of Agriculture.
The researchers used a gene believed to be responsible for controlling the salt content in plants and that was isolated more than 10 years ago from an ancient wheat variety.
The gene makes a protein that is present in the roots of wheat and it helps block salt from travelling up the plant, Gilliham said in a telephone interview. Salt lowers yields and eventually kills the plant.
"When plants grow in salty conditions, the enzymes in the plants don't work very well anymore," Gilliham said.
"We crossed the gene into modern, commercially-grown wheat. It confers salinity tolerance by withdrawing the salts from the xylem, retaining them in the roots and stopping them getting up the shoots where the salt damages the plant and stops it from photosynthesizing," he explained.
The researchers grew the new, improved wheat variety in soil with high salt content and found that it produced yields up to 25 percent more than strains without the ancient gene.
"People will see how it works ... maybe in 5 years it will benefit other varieties of wheat," Gilliham said.
He said farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa, Australia, the United States and Russia may also benefit from the modified wheat.
(Editing by Miral Fahmy)
Can't they make a plant that extracts the salt from the ground and makes it useful again for normal agriculture?
On the other hand growing plants will decrease erosion by loosening the soil at the same time it holds it in place with its roots. This will allow for a more natural flushing of salt from the ground than arid runoff patterns. In time these plants are able to recover the land.
It's interesting that the gene was isolated from an ancient strain of wheat. We selected for, and modified, wheat to be what it is today. Now we are returning to a trait endemic in the species–but now, since it was an isolated gene, someone has Intellectual Property on it.
I guess we now pay a price to go back to our roots. Who are we paying, and why do they have this kind of leverage? Seems like we've done an odd thing to ourselves with this system.
