Jenna Talackova, Transgender Beauty Pageant Contestant, Disqualified from Miss Universe Canadaby Hilton Hater at . Comments
A new beauty pageant scandal has broken out, but this one has nothing to do with naked photos or a contestant's stance on gay marriage.
Jenna Talackova - a 23-year old who was born a man, but who underwent gender reassignment surgery at the age of 19 - has been disqualified from Miss Universe Canada because, according to a statement from the organization, she does not "meet the requirements to compete, despite having stated otherwise on her entry form."
Producers added that they do respect Talackova's "goals, determination and wish her the best."
"I am very disappointed with the decision taken by the Miss Universe ... organizers," Talackova said in a statement released today. "However, I will look to turn this situation into a positive so that other people in a similar situation are not discriminated against in the future."
Denis Davila, the director of the event, says there are rules in place that make it clear one must be born a woman in order to compete. Jenna, he says, indicated on her original registration that she was female, only to later explain her unusual situation.
Reactions to the decision have been mixed with over 20,000 signatures on a change.org petition to reverse the pageant ruling.
What do you think? Should Talackova have been disqualified?
hello, nothing against her but it is for WOMEN not want to bes. she is beautiful, but she is simply not a girl, is that very hard to understand. it's not about discrimination, those are the RULES. nothing against the gay or lesbian population, but what respect are you giving the STAIGHT comunity. we all know you want respect but frankly you have to give to receive and respect the rules. dispite her apearence she will biogicly always be a guy. its like having a VW with a PORCHE motor, runs like a PORCHE, but looks like a VW, LOOKS LIKE A GIRL, BUT ALWAYS BE A BOY. SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE GIFT OF GOD TO GIVE BIRTH, UNTIL MEDICINE CAN'T DO THAT PART: BOYS WILL BE BOYS AND GIRLS WILL BE GIRLS.
Is there no end to the discrimination??!! I'm tiknalg about the discrimination of women, genetically born women. Now women will have to contend with transgendered men taking over women's beauty pageants. Wake me up when the nightmare is over... I know, let them get their own pageants. ( The problem is, they don't want their own pageants because they want to be accepted as "real" women. They're fooling themselves, because they NEVER WILL BE!)
Why the label of transgender why not use human being. Everone should remember that When the earth smells of dew,and the winds have crossed the moors,and themist holds the land for days, know this and know it well,Ms. Talackova is of this land and no man,nor beast,nor will of god's of old will hold one from what they know they should do or become, all should live there life and hopefully know when it is one's time to pass from our world,your name shall be carved in stone and pray it shall never be forgotten.
Does Jenna have the original equipment to get pregnant? No? Sorry folks, still a dude, disqualification stands on it's merits....
I love ya jenna
Women are created not made "Walter"
anyone notice how much jenna looks like ivanka trump?
Good thing about it. People have free choice and a will to live their personal lives. Bad thing is: it sets a confusing nature and spirit in innocent babies and childrens minds. Knocks their little minds off God course of Man and Woman. Another bad thing, then people mag wanna say. Well if he can do that? Why can't I marry a pitbull? It just messes all order and morality up.
I wonder how many other of the contestants have had cosmetic or surgical alterations. How many are exactly the same as when they were born? No nose jobs, no dental work, no boob jobs or tummy tucks? And that was all done entirely for looks! Let's be fair folks...Jenna is legally a woman, let her compete and be nice about it!

First of all, I am not sure which forum this belongs in (probably the halp forum over this or the t12 forum) but definitely not this one
second, you are giving us a link to armory and no other information. From that, yes your gear is definitely a bit low (1-2 more firelands pieces) for the fight.
We cannot help you beyond saying that.
When are you dieing, scorpion? cat? the transition? Are you getting 1shot in scorpion because you have 3-4 cats up? That is a DPS problem then. Are people not soaking properly in scorpion and you are taking more damage from lash than you should be and dieing to subsequent melee swings? Are healers getting leaped on in cat form and just not able to recover? have them call it out if they get leapt on and save a cooldown for those situations.
You really need to give us more than what you did.

Super Bowl strategies from a Hoosier transplant in Motown
Super Bowl strategies from a Hoosier transplant in MotownChris Wasson is a friend of LEO (details unnecessary) who's lived in suburban Detroit for a few years now. Except for the brutal weather, he says it's a pretty lively place to be. He's also a huge sports fan (Cowboys) who seems driven by the challenge of making it into all of the nation's major sporting events before he turns 40. Which means that if he comes up empty for the Super Bowl in his own back yard, well, he's a bigger loser than the hometown Lions ever thought of being. No pressure, dude —don't even worry that your friends may take to calling you Dick Bupkis.Chris Wasson met his hero: Jerry Jones last Derby Day. The Dallas Cowboys' owner was heard to say, "OK, kid, I need to go bet. Gimme the ring back now. Give me the damn ring …â€Chris took a few minutes from his busy schedule as a high-powered corporate attorney to answer pressing questions from LEO.LEO: So, are you going to the Super Bowl?Chris: I'm not sure. I'm still looking for tickets at a reasonable price.LEO: What is the secret to scoring tickets?CW: To be determined. Having a hook-up or scalping. I know a couple of people who got tickets through hook-ups, and I know several more people who paid $2,800 a ticket to scalpers. Maybe my friend Jerry Jones will hook me up?LEO: Is the town abuzz or is it just too damn cold to think about it?CW: Hockeytown is always abuzz with football, but it is growing crazier as the big game approaches. There is so much to do on Super Bowl weekend that you can't help but get excited.LEO: Do you find it ironic that the Super Bowl will be played at Ford Field right after Ford announced that it is cutting back? Shouldn't Bill Ford sell his tickets and put the proceeds back into the company?CW: A long time ago there probably was irony in cutbacks, but it seems so common with the Big 3 that you kind of expect it around here. I think Bill should sell his tickets to me for a reasonable price and, of course, put the proceeds back into the company.LEO: Steelers or Seahawks? Why?CW: Seahawks. All Cowboy fans hate the Steelers.LEO: How many Super Bowls have you been to?CW: None.LEO: What is the weather forecast?CW: Right now, not bad. It could be much colder. Friday, mostly cloudy (high 42/low 32). Saturday, rain/snow showers (high 34/low 32). Sunday, snow/wind (high 35/low 30).LEO: What is the non-native Detroiter's strategy for not freezing one's ass off en route to the big game?CW: Park close and know where you are going. Standard orders for visiting downtown Detroit.LEO: Are you more excited about the game or the halftime entertainment? Why?CW: Halftime. The Stones ... need I say more?LEO: When are the Lions gonna make it to the Super Bowl? Or the playoffs? What ever happened to Wayne Fontes?CW: Never. Calling Wayne Fontes — the Lions desperately need you back. And please bring Barry Sanders with you as well.

Amy Duke's fascination with flags as the subject matter for her paintings stems from her childhood in New England.
"I was born and raised in New Canaan, Conn., where American flags were outside almost everyone's home," she said. "Summers vacationing on Nantucket, July 4th barbecues, fireworks and more recently with 9/11, the flag symbolized the true unified spirit of our country."
An exhibition of Duke's paintings will be on display during July and August at Shuptrine's Gold Leaf Designs. Titled "American Dreams," the show features abstract and whimsical images that reflect Duke's American heritage.
"In celebrating our American holidays of independence, Shuptrine's Gold Leaf Designs is proud to showcase Amy's work," said Bonny Shuptrine, co-owner of the gallery. "She creates a display of proud work, keeping in tune with current thoughts about what patriotism looks like and feels like."
Duke said she is intrigued by all the different versions of the American flag and how we finally arrived at the current one. Many of her paintings are inspired by quilts that were made as variations of the flag.
"I believe that I take flag imagery to another level," she said. "Symmetry, balance and eye-pleasing motifs are what have given my paintings a more design feel."
Using acrylic on canvas with some gesso and pencil, she makes what she calls folk-inspired images. She likes the loose, casual feel of folk art and strives to make artworks that relate to, yet are casual interpretations of the American flag.
Duke's love of art goes back to childhood when she illustrated and sketched just about everything. Her grandfather, who was a watercolor artist, served as a strong source of inspiration for her.
She studied art at Hollins University in Roanoke, Va., where classes in art history exposed her to the work of Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol. These two artists continue to influence her style and subject matter.
Duke resides in Atlanta with her husband and 4-year-old daughter — balancing family responsibilities with a burgeoning art career.
Shuptrine's Gold Leaf Designs, 2646 Broad St., is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday; 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Thursday; and by appointment. Call 266-4453.

After five years of using his position as a Department of Defense contractor to scam the U.S. Military, the Afghan National Army, and private vendors, Maryville, Tennessee residents Keith Johnson and his wife, Angela Gregory Johnson pled guilty last month to a nearly $10 million procurement fraud scheme, according to a press release from the Dept. of Justice.
In statements filed with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Keith Johnson and his wife filed fraudulent quotes in order to secure private industry supply contracts for the repair and maintenance of the Afghan National Army's vehicles while employed in Afghanistan. Mr. Johnson, using his position and credentials as a defense contractor, wrote letters to justify illegal purchase orders to receive the needed vehicle parts. Ms. Johnson, using her maiden name, aided in the double dealings by the solicitation of quotes from known venders without the proper recommendations or competitive procedures.
In addition the couple conspired with two additional employees of the central maintenance facility who provided "kickbacks" for the procurement of subsequent vehicle parts that were funneled through their work as subcontractors at the central maintenance facility. All parties concealed their business relationships in order to defraud reputable venders so that all contracts would be awarded to their private companies.
For their fraudulent activities, Mr. Johnson faces a maximum penalty of twenty (20) years in prison and his wife faces a maximum penalty of five (5) years when sentenced on February 14, 2014.

Pharmaceutical Specialties Inc., makers of the popular skin products Vanicream™, RoBathol™, Free & Clear™, Vaniply™
Specializing in Sensitive Skin Care Products
Common Chemical Irritants
Ingredient Selection
The primary purpose of our company is to make products for people with sensitive skin. We know from the responses of both physicians who recommend our products, and patients that use them, that we have achieved considerable success toward this goal.
None-the-less, we know that we will probably never be able to help every person with sensitive skin.
You can be assured that we go to great lengths to select ingredients that are safe and effective, are suitable for our customers, and then we continuously test and monitor them for quality. Likewise, our finished products undergo evaluation by our Quality Control and Quality Assurance departments as well as outside testing organizations.
We know that allergies are on the rise, and we remain vigilant and will revise our formulas, and will rule-out ingredients as knowledge in the area advances.
Clearly, anyone with severe allergies or contact sensitivities with unknown causes should contact their physician to see if a skin test is recommended before using any of our products when an ingredient may be of concern.
Lanolin & Derivatives
Lanolin and derivatives contribute properties to skin products that help moisturize. Lanolin is not a pure product but a complex combination of many substances which are difficult to separate and may carry over to derivatives. Some of these substances can cause skin irritation to sensitive skin, and may produce skin sensitization. Examples of lanolins are:
- Lanolin (hydrous and anhydrous)
- Hydrogenated Lanolin
- Lanolin Alcohol
- Wool Fat
- Wool Wax
- Alcohols (Wool Alcohol)
Irritating Preservatives
Irritating preservatives also used to prevent microbial growth, unfortunately by their own nature, cause irritation to the skin of many people. Preservatives are the second most common cause of cosmetic allergic contact dermatitis. Examples of irritating preservatives are:
- Methylchloroisothiazolinone
- Methylisothiazolinone
Pharmaceutical Specialties, Inc. (PSI) develops and manufactures skin care products for people who need, or want, to avoid many of the common chemical irritants found in ordinary skin care products.
Our products are free of dyes, fragrance and masking fragrance, parabens, lanolin, and formaldehyde. Because we leave out these offensive ingredients, our products may be used by those with either normal or sensitive skin. You will find our products superior in terms of quality, effectiveness and value. Ideal for use by the entire family.
Dyes are used to tint skin products to disguise the undesirable color of an ingredient, are added to more closely match skin colors, or to tint the product for consumer appeal. Examples of possible irritating dyes are:
- D&C Yellow #11
- FD&C Blue #1
- FD&C Yellow #5 (also known as tartrazine)
Fragrance adds to consumer appeal and may be used to cover up undesirable odors for some ingredients. Examples of fragrances are:
- Benzaldehyde
- Cologne
- Herbal Extracts
- Masking Fragrance
- Perfume
- Plant, flower, fruit, nut oils
Formaldehyde Releasers
Formaldehyde releasers preserve a product against bacterial, mold and fungus contamination. Unfortunately, formaldehyde also causes irritation and allergic problems for some people. Examples of formaldehyde releasers:
- Bronopol
- Diazolidinyl Urea
- DMDM Hydantoin
- Imidazolidinyl Urea
- MDM Hydantoin
- Quaternium 15
Parabens are preservatives that guard against mold, fungus, or bacteria growth. Examples of parabens are:
- Benzylparaben
- Butylparaben
- Ethylparaben
- Methylparaben
- Propylparaben

Professors Bob Walter and Dorothy Merritts collaborated with LandStudies Inc., environmental consultants based in Lititz, Pa., to study floodplain wetland restoration.
In their paper, "Natural Streams and the Legacy of Water Powered Mills," they present evidence disproving the accepted model of the meandering river as the result of a natural process. The article captured the attention of the national scientific and consumer media, including coverage by the New York Times and a story on National Public Radio (NPR).
A common strategy, called "natural stream channel design," aims to slow erosion of stream banks by reshaping stream bends and installing boulders, yet the strategy is based on false assumptions about streams in the mid-Atlantic region.
"Our research could, and probably should, change the way people look at and restore streams in the mid-Atlantic region," Walter said.

For Professional Engineers in Private Practice
Based partly on reports and work by unnamed consultants, city engineers in Toronto have determined that the infamous Gardiner Expressway is in such a state of disrepair that it needs over $505 million spending on repairs over the next decade. The heavily travelled expressway crosses east-west across the downtown area.
Several chunks of concrete fell off the elevated roadway this summer, including one that hit a vehicle on the road below. According to reports in the Toronto Star, communications people at the city sent out reassuring messages to the public saying the roadway was safe, while city engineers were emailing reports about concrete hanging precariously from the structure's underbelly.
The announcement by the city engineers in December that a 2-kilometre portion of the roadway between Jarvis Street and the start of the Don Valley Parkway east of downtown could be unsafe to drive in six years has renewed calls for that section to be demolished. Another 1-kilometre section of the expressway will need replacing within six years between Strachan Avenue and Rees Street to the west of downtown.
The latest findings have revived the debate about what to do about the Gardiner. Some are calling for the city to take a completely fresh look at the problem. One councillor has called for selling the road to the private sector who could then charge tolls to recoup their expenses. Burying the traffic in an underground tunnel is another option that has been proposed but is usually dismissed as too expensive.
Paul Gauvreau, an associate professor of civil engineering at the University of Toronto, published an article in the Globe and Mail on December 14 where he argued that the city should be taking a more radical approach and rebuilding a completely new structure.
"The Gardiner is tightly stitched into Toronto's urban fabric," wrote Gauvreau. "Regardless of whether it's repaired or rebuilt, its future represents one of the most significant engineering challenges ever to be faced in Canada."
Gauvreau pointed out that in the long-term it would be less expensive to demolish and rebuild the road because a rehabilitated Gardiner will continue to need repairs and heavy maintenance.
He called for the city to use this as an opportunity to allow engineers to use their innovative powers. Those skills have been stifled in recent years.
"Unfortunately, public agencies in Canada have had a disproportionate focus on minimizing risk," Gauvreau wrote. "All other things being equal, the easiest way to accomplish this goal is to do the same thing over and over. When engineers are repeatedly requested to implement yesterday's solutions — that is, not to innovate — engineering becomes a mere commodity that can be bought and sold at the lowest price."
Despite the road's problems, the budget for maintaining the Gardiner has been underspent for the last decade. An environmental study on tearing down part of the expressway was halted after Mayor Ford came to office, and since then the city has been doing only emergency repairs on that section.
With today's technology and engineering skills, a higher state-of-the-art viaduct can replace the existing one with a signficantly lesser footprint that would beneficially open up the area underneath. However, as the previous commenter points out, the issue is largely related to urban design---or rather the severe lack of urban design over the past generation that never incorporated a well-thought-out (viaduct) replacement in conjunction with the surrounding residential intensification. The fundamental problem that cannot be reversed without a Dictatorship approach has been the hastily constructed and densely spaced condominium skyscrapers, which has choked out appropriate transportation corridors in this area of the metropolis (along with choking out the waterfront). Urban planners over the past couple decades have severely failed and planned to overpopulate this area without any consideration to the additional proportional amount of transportation space that would be required. The current fiasco is now the consequence. It's time to tear down the tower cranes in Toronto, which are quite strangely a record number in North America in recent years (how many middle-class Canadian Citizens can afford these condos??). Sustainable urban design should be executed now and for the future, which must always consider a sustainable population in conjunction with modern mass-transit systems. It is otherwise futile and detrimental to grow infinitely. Everything must begin with determining a sustainable population QUANTITY (for Canada) and a sustainable population DENSITY (for any region); otherwise, "Sustainability" is yet another ship without a rudder.
Posted January 3, 2013 01:30 PM
Ben Novak B.Eng., MCP
With due respect Professor Paul Gauvreau, the opportunity represented by the eventual rethinking and rebuilding of a downtown by-pass, distributor/collector, all of which the Gardner is at present, it will take more than mere engineering to solve the growing problem. Professor Gauvreau is no doubt aware that other studies have been done, some proposing the elimination of the structure and dealing with traffic on grade. All in all this is an urban planning issue. Due consideration has to be paid to the tremendous potential of the Toronto waterfront and its better integration with "down-town". While burying the problem might have a superficial attraction, we have Boston as an example of what can evolve, time and cost-wise.This is an opportunity for an international competition, to see what the best thinkers in planning architecture and of course engineering can come up with, fit for the metropolis of Toronto and doing justice to this fine piece of real estate as well. Put Toronto in the forefront again. And while we are at it, let's not only think cars, but also transit, and urban design.

Taking care of an elderly parent is demanding
IT'S A FAMILIAR scenario: A 50-something mother of three gets a call from a sibling in another state. Their mom, in her late 70s, is in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease and living alone.
The siblings have always known the time would come when their mother couldn't live alone anymore. That time is now.
When the brother calls, it's to say that their mom is in the local emergency room. She fell while trying to escape a small house fire, which started after she left the gas stove burner on.
The siblings are told their mom will be admitted to the hospital for observation and that she will not be able to return home alone. The brother doesn't have room for her in his nearby, one-room apartment. So the sister, whom we'll call Marion, says she will travel to the out-of-state hospital and help figure things out.
On her way there, Marion wonders what she will do.
Unusual situation? Not really. Statistics indicate that 35 percent of adult children are dealing with caregiving situations. By 2020, it's estimated that 40 percent to 50 percent of people over 70 will suffer from some degree of Alzheimer's or dementia. And about one third of people over 70 will be dealing with some degree of diabetes.
While long-term planning for the health of our community is a concern, the more emergent issues are for those adult children who are already feeling the impact of these trends.
This group has become known as the "Sandwich Generation"--baby boomers who are raising their own children and also are involved with caring for elderly parents.
So where do people such as Marion turn? Their parent's primary care physician, for starters. The primary physician should be able to provide an overview of a parent's current condition and what is expected to occur in the future.
Caregivers should ask questions such as:
What are the most important medical concerns for mom/dad now?
What activities can she/he safely do?
What medications is she/he taking and why?
Are there side effects to watch for? What are they?
What medical follow-up is necessary?
For people such as Marion, who are told their parents can no longer live alone, one option is to find an alternate living situation in the parent's hometown. The other option is to bring mom or dad home with them.A lot to juggle

Friday, 18 November 2011 00:00Ours is a community of intelligent, talented, driven and successful individuals. It is a community with great pride and spirit, and one capable of deeds of charity and compassion. I see it in events such as the annual 9/11 memorial, the local breast cancer run/walk, and in everyday acts of kindness between neighbors.
Unfortunately, ours is also the community where my father-in-law witnessed a grown man purposefully push a three-year-old boy out of the way to obtain a better position in line at Dunkin' Donuts during the Memorial Day Parade. It is the community where my then-pregnant wife fell in a wintry Raindew parking lot and bloodied her hands, only to have a shopper in a car shoo her out of the way rather than help her—the person was upset that my wife was lying down in a desirable parking spot. It is the community where cars behind me have honked angrily because I paused briefly to let another car make a left turn or allow a pedestrian to cross the street. And it is also the community where I today saw two residents nearly come to blows in the Citibank drive-through line. The person using the ATM machine was taking longer than the person behind would have liked, so the waiting customer began waving his hands and shouting. After a minute or so of this, the first customer finished his transaction, got out of his car, and walked back to confront the shouting man. Heated words were exchanged, and luckily it didn't get physical. The first customer got back in his car and left the drive-through, while the impatient man pulled ahead, did his banking, then tore out of the lot, blowing two stop signs on Bayview Avenue.
These two men are likely local residents. For all they know, they may live three blocks from each other and just haven't met. Both of these men could very well have families, with children who look up to them and model their behavior after their fathers'.
Certainly our current times can be trying. The economy continues to struggle. We're led by politicians who almost universally act out of self-interest, working to further their own careers and ensure re-election, rather than creating real solutions for real problems. Plandome Road is in deplorable condition, and at times traffic makes our little town feel more like midtown Manhattan.
But I think we would all do well to remember the meaning of community. We work, play, and live together, and while we don't have to all love each other, we can at the very least be civil to each other. A little patience, understanding, and compassion goes a long way. It should be expected from each of us.

Pharmacists to Subcommittee: Medicare Rule Includes Benefits for Patients, Taxpayers
Published Online:
Wednesday, February 26, 2014
Follow Pharmacy_Times:
Alexandria, Va. Feb. 26, 2014
- Proposed improvements to the Medicare Part D prescription drug program would give seniors greater pharmacy choice and competition at no added cost while remaining consistent with existing Medicare statute, well-documented congressional intent and a series of previous, bipartisan actions by Congress and prior Administrations, the
National Community Pharmacists Association
(NCPA) said today in a
statement for the record
for a hearing of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health.
"Independent community pharmacists support the pro-patient provisions of Medicare's proposed rule because they offer more choice and pharmacy competition for beneficiaries at no added cost to the Medicare program or taxpayers," said NCPA CEO B. Douglas Hoey, RPh, MBA. "Independent community pharmacists have been vital health care providers since the first days of the Medicare Part D benefit. We look forward to continuing to work constructively with Medicare and Congress to ensure that this program effectively serves seniors while safeguarding taxpayer dollars."
NCPA's comments reinforced to lawmakers the following aspects of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed rule for 2015 Part D drug plans:
More pharmacy choice for seniors and pharmacy competition at no added cost
. Many seniors have signed up for "preferred pharmacy" plans without realizing that they could no longer use their pharmacy of choice. Medicare's proposal would allow more pharmacies the opportunity to participate as "preferred" providers if they are willing to accept the contract offered by a drug plan. This would particularly benefit seniors in underserved rural areas who may have to bypass an independent community pharmacy while traveling 20 miles or more to reach a "preferred pharmacy."
The current "preferred pharmacy" system is NOT necessarily less expensive to the consumer OR the federal government.
Contrary to CMS' initial assumptions and the claims of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), CMS' own analysis and cost comparisons using the Medicare Plan Finder website indicate that Medicare and taxpayers
often pay more
when prescription drugs are obtained through preferred pharmacy networks and mail order pharmacies than they would if the same prescriptions were filled through other "non-preferred" pharmacies.
Expansion of access to critical medication therapy management (MTM) programs leading to improved outcomes and reduced costs.
NCPA supports the expansion of access to these critical MTM services and agrees with CMS that MTM must become a cornerstone of the Prescription Drug Benefit.
Updating pharmacy reimbursement to account for soaring drug costs.
CMS' proposal would help ensure plans' reimbursement of community pharmacies better reflects market costs. Currently, the acquisition costs for many generic
drugs are increasing by 600%, 1,000% or more
practically overnight while PBMs may wait several months before updating their reimbursement—and almost never retroactively.
Reducing potential fraud, waste, and abuse.
The proposed rule calls for PBMs to engage an outside auditor to confirm they are complying with CMS regulations. Currently, there is little oversight of complex multi-billion-dollar PBMs in this taxpayer funded program.
CMS correctly interprets the "non-interference" provision.
The congressional intent behind the "non-interference" provision precludes CMS' interference between prescription drug plan (PDP) sponsor and drug manufacturer negotiations over drug coverage or pricing decisions. The provision does not preclude the agency's responsibility to ensuring that the Part D marketplace operates in a fair and efficient fashion between PDPs and pharmacies.
The proposed rule is consistent with past precedents.
Congress and prior Administrations have taken action numerous times in the past to provide common sense guidelines governing the plan sponsor/pharmacy relationship in the part D program, including the congressional enactment and CMS enforcement of "prompt pay" provisions requiring timely reimbursement for legitimate claims.

text: On November 21, 1999, at 1430 eastern standard time, a Cessna 172XP, N758LR, was substantially damaged during a hard landing to the Phillipi/Barbour County Airport (79D), Phillipi, West Virginia. The certificated private was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the personal flight that originated at Morgantown, West Virginia (MGW), approximately 1400. No flight plan was filed for the flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.In a telephone interview, the pilot stated he flew to MGW, serviced the airplane with fuel, and returned to his home airport at Phillipi/Barbour County. He said he entered the traffic pattern for runway 26, performed his base and final turns, and configured the airplane for landing. The pilot said that on short final, he began his level off and flare prematurely. He said:"I just ballooned high and had a hard landing. That's all there is to it."In a telephone interview, a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aviation Safety Inspector said the airplane sustained damage to the propeller, nose gear, and firewall. He said the flight control tunnels aft of the firewall were crushed and prevented the movement of the flight controls.When questioned about the performance of the airplane, the pilot said, "It was performing very well. No problems."The pilot purchased the airplane November 6, 1999. An annual inspection was performed on the airplane prior to its purchase on October 5, 1999.The pilot reported 143 hours of flight experience, of which 7 hours were in the Cessna 172.Winds reported at Clarksburg, West Virginia, 10 miles northwest of 79D, were from 240 degrees at 7 knots.

A beautiful wine and one of my favorites from this estate, this blend of nearly two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and one-third Merlot is aging impressively. Dense ruby/purple in color, with creme de cassis, charcoal, and sweet leathery and chocolatey notes intermixed with the classic Pauillac cedar and spice box, the wine is medium to full-bodied, fleshy, with sweet tannin and a long finish. It seems to have inched into its window of full drinking maturity, and will stay there for 10-15+ years.
(6/ 2010)
Medium-deep red-ruby. Aromatic nose combines cassis, minerals, mint, shoe polish and sexy oak. Suave and atypically showy for a recently bottled Clerc-Milon. This has lovely racy cassis and mineral flavors, a smooth texture and attractively restrained sweetness. Finishes aromatic and long, with thoroughly ripe tannins.
(6/ 2003)
Super aromas of currants, mineral and exotic fruits. Full-bodied, with very firm tannins. This is long and chewy. Tough Clerc, but textbook Pauillac. Cab city.
(3/ 2003)
33% Merlot and 67% Cabernet Sauvignon. 30% new oak. Black raspberry flavors. This wine is round and fat. Tannins are hidden by fabulous ripe fruit flavors. Excellent balance. Should also be a fine value and long-term cellar candidate.

Miss U Already: Joe Lieberman
In which we take a look back at the departing federal lawmakers we'll miss most in 2013.
Name: Sen. Joe Lieberman ("I"-CT)
Age: 70
Terms: 4
Leaving Congress Because: Retiring
Best Known For: Getting jowl-deep into Iraq, whether America wanted it or not.
Memorable Quote: "We are in a three-way split decision for third place." One of the great- nay, the greatest political quote of all time. Step down, Dan Quayle. Stick a pipe in it, JFK. This is the best there ever will be.
Greatest Accomplishment: He failed to win the support of seniors in Florida in the 2000 presidential election. He's Jewish. It's Florida. The mind boggles.
Why We'll Miss Him: Getting lost in those jowls for hours. It's like a being in a Snuggie, warmed by the glow of moderate waffling.
What He's Doing Next: Letting the door hit him on the way out, since nobody went to his goodbye party.
What the Future Holds for Him: Tinkering with ways to harness the energy potential of Joementum. Discovering that a potato can power a lightbulb. Hanging up his jowls and calling it a day.
Miss U Already: Dennis Kucinich
Miss U Already: Scott Brown
Miss U Already: Ron Paul

We're absolutely obsessed with Christian Dior's current foray into the film noir genre. The S/S '10 trenches, lingerie and finger-waved curls left us positively swooning in
So, we're excited to hear the next instalment of the Lady Dior film saga is already in the pipeline. Mr Galliano is already out in Shanghai filming with Marion and has even enlisted filmmaker David Lynch (of The Elephant Man and Blue Velvet fame) to direct! This isn't the first time such an epic director has lent his talent to the fashion biz. Baz Luhrmann, the man behind Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge, created the dreamy and romantic advert starring Nicole Kidman for Chanel No.5, and Michael May, who directed Transformers, produced this year's Victoria's Secret Christmas ad, setting the likes of Miranda Kerr to a backdrop of explosions, motorcycles and heavy metal music (okay, perhaps not quite as "luxury" as Baz and Chanel, but whatever…)

After enjoying this creamy, snazzed-up potato casserole at a wedding dinner, my daughters and I asked the caterer to share the recipe. Because it can be made ahead, it's a great recipe for busy cooks. —Darlis Wilfer, West Bend, Wisconsin

Off Shore Side Planer Boards are designed for stability and performance. Off Shore Side Planer Boards are properly ballasted to run in rough water and at ultra-low speeds. These in-line planer boards are excellent for deep-diving crankbaits and for use with leadcore.
The OR-12 has taken all the abuse these hard fishing professionals could dish out and performed with walleye, salmon, steelhead, stripers, muskie and even sailfish and dolphin.
Every Off Shore Side Planer includes one OR-19 release and one OR-16 clip. These planers do not come with a tattle flag.
These are Off Shore Tackle part number OR-12. They come in a right side version (#OR-12R) and a left side version (#OR-12L).
I buy a pair of Offshore 12s every year, and these are the cheapest that I have found. I troll for salmon, trout, and steelhead with them, pulling copper, lead, and mono. Love the way they cut the water and stay off to the sides of the boat. Also, was thrilled to have them show up at my door in only a few days after I ordered them. Great online store!
good board but need to get better clips for rough water hard to find board

Delicately cut into a pyramid with carefully faceted sides and a fine point, this quartz crystal is a fantastic aid for channeling energy. With quartz functioning naturally as a wonderful aid in channeling multiple sources of energy, it can also be used as a balancing stone, helping to bring peace and harmony in energy. This, combined with the pyramid shape, makes for a potent focus for healing energies and protective magic that balance out, or cleanse negative energies and curses.

Crazy Frog: "Whoomp (There It Is)"
Crazy Frog: "Whoomp (There It Is)"
|Release Date:
On my first day as a Baltimorean, I received a sign from God, or at least Harold Faltermyer. I heard Crazy Frogs version of Axel F played between Hit Me Baby One More Time and Rhianna at lunch. It was as if he had chased me down from Pennsylvania, where I had used his import single to combat general good taste all summer.
If youre not familiar, then youre probably not from England. Where else could a little CGI nubbin, with a little CGI penis, who sounds like a cross between the Teletubbies and a dancehall toaster, oust Coldplay from the No. 1 spot? This is after he tortured the general populace for months as an inescapable ad for the ringtone based on his version of the theme to Beverly Hills Cop, which involves speeding it up and going ring-ding-ding-bing-bong over it. The single featured an extended electro edit for the club, in case you think its a joke.
America could soon be besieged by the frogwhich would suck because hes much more tolerable as an MP3 curio than a legit phenomenon. Still, please enjoy this teaser from Crazy Frog Presents Crazy Hits, an album in the grand tradition of Chipmunk Punk and Disco Mouse. The evil Swedish geniuses behind the frog werent content just to plunder Tag Teams classic jock jam; they tossed the beat from that Nina Sky single from last summer in, too. Thats value for money in a cut-rate world.
