Another year for her
Friday, August 15, 2014
Tell No One
Dr. David Beck met his wife when they were 7 and inseparable. They celebrated each of their 12 wedding anniversaries at the very same place they met, his grandfather's campsite. On their 13thanniversary, they continued the ritual, but this time, something happened. Beck heard Elizabeth scream, and then he gets hit on his head and almost drowning. Waking up in the hospital to the news that his wife is dead is not anything a man wants to hear about his wife. Especially when he got injured trying to save her and still did not succeed.
8 years later, David Beck still goes on dates but cannot let go of his late wife, Elizabeth. While working one day, Beck receives an email in code, but he deciphers it and determines that Elizabeth may be alive! At this moment, Beck has been warned to tell no one. And he doesn't. Instead, he runs from the people he trusts the most, plunging into a search for the shadowy figure whose messages hold out a desperate hope.
But already Beck is being hunted down. He's headed straight into the heart of a dark and deadly secret–and someone intends to stop him before he gets there.
I recently read my first book my Harlan Coben, and it was pretty great. I decided to seek out another. I enjoy the murder/mystery books. Honestly, I didn't find this one as captivating. It had so many twists and plots and part of the story that no one would add up in the real world. It was just hard to believe some of this would actually happen. But, overall I did enjoy it still, and will find a 3rd book to read by Coben. I rated this a 3 out of 5.

Missing You
NYPD Detective Kat Donnavan hasn't really dated since her fiancé, Jeff, dumped her 18 years ago; 2 years after her father was murdered and she was consumed to solve his murder. Her friend, Stacy, signed her up for a year's subscription for a dating site. Who does Kat first stumble across?! A picture of her former fiancé.
Brandon Phelps is a teenager who believes his mom has been kidnapped, despite her texts, emails and calls confirming she is ok. Brandon contacts Kat to help find his mother, since he discovered she was going away on a weekend trip with her new online friend, Jake. Jake and Jeff are the same person.
Titus is a business man who is out to earn money the easy way, by kidnapping rich people and torturing them.
Can Kat handle the death of the man who confessed to her father's murder, flashbacks from her old relationship, and tracking down the whereabouts of Brandon's mother??
This is my first Harlan Coben book to read, but it definitely will not be the last. I'm a slow reader and it usually takes me more than a week to finish a book. Missing You took me 2 days. That could be record-breaking for me!

The Secret Desires of a Soccer Mom
Paige and her four girlfriends, who also happen to be neighbors, have a long friendship behind them. One day, they get the news that one of their girlfriends, Karen, died in a freak accident, alone.
Paige decides to do some of her own investigation after Karen confided a dark secret to her only days before the accident. The local cops know that they have an open and shut case. Ruled: accident. Paige isn't so sure.
Paige is determined to track down her best friend's killer.
This book is a very easy read, but also very boring. Paige is an extremely self-involved mother of 2 who does not take anyone else's feelings into consideration. She is strong and hard-headed. There are parts where I feel like I'm watching an episode of Desperate Housewives with the secrets and can plotting amongst some of the friends.
Tuesday, June 10, 2014
If you know me, you know that I'm kind of all over the place. My mind is constantly thinking and planning on something. I plan my weekly menus. I plan our bi-weekly budget. I plan our weekend min-trips. I plan our big trips (we have yet to take one, but I have plenty planned and always planning more, for when that day comes…). I plan our future with the kids. I plan my extra-curricular activities. I plan my books to read. I just PLAN. I'm not sure what has happened to make this a more recent OCD that I have. The planning really only started a few years ago. I even have an organized calendar that catalogs our bills and goals and a lot of other stuff (I just might do a 'how to' blog on that lol).
I realized in recent weeks how much more I really want this have a foster home, and one day adopt. – I have become a C.A.S.A. volunteer this year. CASA is a volunteer-based program where basically when a child(ren) are removed from their home due to CPS getting involved, after lawyers and CPS discuss with a judge the next steps for the parent(s) and children that have been removed, the judge will appoint CASA to take over the child(rens) case. CASA then appoints one of their volunteers. Last week, I went to meet a child that was removed from her home several years ago and is still in the CPS system, and absolutely fell in love with this beautiful 11 year old girl, and begged my CASA director to give her case to me. She was secretly hoping I would want this case because she needed to get rid of some of her heavy workload anyway. Of course, I instantly want to kidnap this girl and bring her to my home and just show her all the love she hasn't even getting from a family.
No mother should do what they do to cause CPS to remove their child from their home and then end up in a confusing adult-run system.

Angelina Jolie Hating on Madonna's Music
Karin Tanabe Tuesday, 11 September 2012
They both do humanitarian work and are mega stars, but that doesn't mean Angelina and Madonna like each other! They've actually had a mini feud bubbling since 2006 after Madge adopted a baby boy from Malawi. Ange said, "Madonna knew the situation in Malawi, where David was born. It's a country where there is no real legal framework for adoption. Personally, I prefer to stay on the right side of the law. I would never take a child away from a place where adoption is illegal." Youch!
Unfortunately for Angelina, her daughters have not gotten the "We hate Madge" memo. The National Enquirer reported that Ange's girls are absolutely crazy for old school Madonna music and it's driving Ange crazy. "It's no secret that Angie has never been a fan of Madonna's acting, but her music really makes her cringe… listening to Madonna's music is like nails on a chalkboard for Angie," a source dished. Seriously? Everyone likes Material Girl, Ange!

Imagine a situation where eight tortfeasors, acting independently but simultaneously, negligently lean on a car, which is parked at a scenic overlook in the mountains. Their combined forces result in the car rolling over the edge of the mountain and plummeting to its destruction. The force of all but one of the tortfeasors constituted the same percent of the force necessary to propel the car over the edge. Now imagine that the owner of the car, Dirty Harriet, because of her slight build, only exerted one percent of the force necessary to propel the car over the edge, however Dirty Harriet, seeing an opportunity to replace her lemon of a car, acts purposefully to push the car over the edge. Under the Restatement (Third) of Torts, Harriet's state of mind may be relevant to the question of who caused the car to be destroyed. In this Note, Mr. Morris proposes that, in Dirty Harriet-type cases, courts, who may be unwilling to remain faithful to the Restatement framework, should instead apply the traditional concerted action doctrine.

Much ink has been spilled about the so-called "London Whale" scandal involving JP Morgan Chase & Co. that occurred in 2012. This is not surprising, given that the scandal is an accessible reference point in the leitmotif of corporate law and finance post-2008. But the London Whale case is more than that. It is a timely and illustrative example of some challenging and important problems facing government regulators in today's financial markets. In particular, the London Whale case demonstrates that the Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States' chief regulator of the nation's solution, is increasingly a part of the problem rather than the solution. In this Note, Mr. Patton examines the London Whale case in this light by taking a closer look at the implications the case has for America's changing financial markets and for the Securities and Exchange Commission's role in those markets.
Justin Driver
92 Texas L. Rev. 1053
In March 1956, the overwhelming majority of senators and congressmen from the former Confederate states joined forces to issue the Southern Manifesto. That document marshaled a series of constitutional arguments contending that the Supreme Court incorrectly decided Brown v. Board of Education. Legal scholars initially lavished considerable attention on the Manifesto. Today, however, the Manifesto no longer occupies a central place in the American legal imagination. No law review article, or any other work written by a law professor, has appeared in more than fifty years that examines the Manifesto in a sustained fashion. Drawing on archival and other primary sources that law professors have previously neglected, Professor Driver contends that the Manifesto should be restored to a prominent position in legal scholarship because the document serves to recast two prominent debates that have occupied constitutional law scholars for decades. First, analyzing the Manifesto reveals that many southern politicians were far more legally sophisticated, calculating, and shrewd in defending white supremacy than legal scholarship generally suggests. Second, examining the remarkable public debates generated by the Manifesto demonstrates that, contrary to popular constitutionalism's account, widespread support for judicial supremacy predated the Supreme Court's articulation of the concept in Cooper v. Aaron. Although it may be tempting to view the Manifesto as promoting ideas that have no connection to current conditions, Professor Driver argues that the document continues to have resonance within the modern constitutional order.
Daniel A. Farber & Anne Joseph O'Connell
92 Texas L. Rev. 1137
In this Article, Professors Farber and O'Connell argue that the reality of the modern administrative state diverges considerably from the series of assumptions underlying the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and classic judicial decisions that followed the APA. These assumptions called for statutory directives to be implemented by one agency led by Senate-confirmed presidential appointees with decision-making authority. The implementation (in the form of a discrete action) is presumed to be through statutorily mandated procedures and criteria, with judicial review to determine whether the reasons given by the agency at the time of its action match the delegated directions. They describe in depth this lost world on which current administrative law is based. They go on to explain how the realities of the modern administrative state have come to differ greatly from the intended circumstances. They then weigh the benefits and costs of this shift, tentatively concluding that the costs trump the benefits. Finally, they conclude that returning to this lost world is impossible and instead propose some possible reforms in all three branches of the federal government to make the match between current realities and administrative law stronger.
Abe Krash
92 Texas L. Rev. 1191
In this Essay, Professor Krash examines the problems that Abe Fortas, the advocate for Clarence Gideon before the Supreme Court, and Justice Hugo Black, the writer of the opinion in the Gideon v. Wainwright decision, faced when addressing the Gideon issue and the manner in which they resolved these problems.

Show synopsis Excerpt: ... the shipwrecked seamen. XLVIII. EMULATION. (132) 1. Frank's father was speaking to a friend, one day, on the subject of competition at school. He said that he could answer for it that envy is not always connected with it. 2. He had been excelled by many, but did not recollect ever having felt envious of his successful rivals; "nor did my winning many a prize from my friend Birch," said he, "ever lessen his friendship for me." 3. In support of the truth of this, a friend who was present related an anecdote which had fallen under his own notice in a school in his neighborhood. 4. At this school the sons of several wealthy farmers, and others, who were poorer, received instruction. Frank listened with great attention while the gentleman gave the following account of the two rivals: 5. It happened that the son of a rich farmer and the son of a poor widow came in competition for the head of their class. They were so nearly equal that the teacher could scarcely decide between them; some days one, and some days the other, gained the head of the class. It was determined by seeing who should be at the head of the class for the greater number of days in the week. 6. The widow's son, by the last day's trial, gained the victory, and kept his place the following week, till the school was dismissed for the holidays. 7. When they met again the widow's son did not appear, and the farmer's son, being next to him, might now have been at the head of his class. Instead of seizing the vacant place, however, he went to the widow's house to inquire what could be the cause of her son's absence. 8. Poverty was the cause; the poor woman found that she was not able, with her utmost efforts, to continue to pay for the tuition and books of her son, and so he, poor fellow! had been compelled to give up his schooling, and to return to labor for her support. 9. The farmer's son, out of the allowance of pocket money which his father gave him, bought all the necessary books and...

Ceiling fans rotate anticlockwise while table fans clockwise why?
tried searching on google..but din understand
This is mainly because of the diversity in their working principles. Every fan needs a motor that allowsrotational motion. Taking into consideration the structure of a motor, there are two major parts - The motor itself and the armature. Out of these two parts, one part is always stationary while the other moves around it's axis allowing rotation of any object that is attached to it. Ceiling fans have a stationary armature and the motor moves in the counter-clockwise direction. Since, the blades of the fan are attached to the motor, the ceiling fan rotates in an anti-clockwise direction. It is exactly opposite for a table fan. The motor is stationary and the armature moves to give motion to the fan blades. Because of Newton's 3rd law of motion that states - "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.", the stationary motor gives the armature a push in the opposite direction. This causes the blades of the table fan that are attached to the armature, to move in clockwise direction

Medicare Part D:
Instances of Questionable Access to Prescription Drugs
GAO-11-699: Published: Sep 6, 2011. Publicly Released: Oct 4, 2011.

In 2009, GAO reported on doctor shopping in Medicaid, where individuals see several doctors and pharmacies, receiving more of a drug than was intended by any single physician. Questions have been raised about whether similar activity exists in Medicare Part D. GAO was asked to (1) determine the extent to which Medicare beneficiaries obtained frequently abused drugs from multiple prescribers, (2) identify examples of doctor shopping activity, and (3) determine the actions taken by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to limit access to drugs for known abusers. To meet the objectives, GAO analyzed Medicare Part D claims for calendar year 2008 to identify potential doctor shoppers. To identify examples, GAO chose a nonrepresentative selection of 10 beneficiaries based on a number of factors, including the number of prescribers. GAO also interviewed policy officials from CMS and from prescription drug plans that administer the drug benefit program.
GAO found indications of doctor shopping in the Medicare Part D program for 14 categories of frequently abused prescription drugs. About 170,000 beneficiaries (about 1.8 percent of beneficiaries receiving these 14 categories of drugs) acquired the same class of frequently abused drugs, primarily hydrocodone and oxycodone, from five or more medical practitioners during calendar year 2008 at a cost of about $148 million (about 5 percent of the total cost for these drugs). About 120,000 of these beneficiaries were eligible for Medicare Part D because of a disability. There may be justifiable reasons for receiving prescriptions from multiple medical practitioners, such as visiting specialists or several prescribers in the same medical group. However, one individual received prescriptions from 87 different medical practitioners in 2008. In such situations, there is heightened concern that Medicare beneficiaries are seeing several medical practitioners to support and disguise an addiction. GAO judgmentally selected 10 beneficiaries and found that they were doctor shopping for prescription drugs. These cases are among the more egregious and cannot be generalized beyond the examples presented. CMS has systems in place to identify individuals with doctor shopping behavior; however, according to CMS policy officials, federal law may not authorize them to restrict these individuals' access to drugs, including highly abused drugs, such as hydrocodone and oxycodone. One option to control doctor shopping used by Medicaid and some private sector plans is the restricted recipient program. It limits individuals identified as doctor shoppers to one prescriber, one pharmacy, or both for receiving prescriptions. There are issues to consider with a restricted recipient program, such as potentially denying legitimate drug needs and unknown administrative costs. These issues should be balanced against the potential protections such a program can provide. Doctor shopping for frequently abused drugs can increase the cost of the Part D program and jeopardize patient care. Controls proven to reduce doctor shopping could be considered by CMS. GAO recommends that CMS review its findings and consider steps such as a restricted recipient program for identified doctor shoppers and seek congressional authority, as appropriate. CMS agreed with the overall recommendation to improve its efforts to curb overutilization in Part D, but disagreed that a restricted recipient program is necessarily the appropriate control for the Part D program.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Consistent with the intent of our recommendation, in September 2011, CMS began to solicit comments from Part D sponsors and other interested stakeholders on how the Medicare Part D program can more successfully exert control over payment for inappropriate overutilization of drugs. In particular, CMS sought comments regarding resource and timeline issues related to implementing a beneficiary-centric approach to managing overutilization. As of December 2011, CMS was reviewing the comments received from Part D plan sponsors and other stakeholders.
Recommendation: To improve efforts to address doctor shopping by beneficiaries of highly abused prescription drugs, the Administrator of CMS should review our findings, evaluate the existing drug utilization review (DUR) program, and consider additional steps such as a restricted recipient program for Medicare Part D that would limit these beneficiaries to one prescriber, one pharmacy, or both for receiving prescriptions. CMS should consider the experiences from Medicaid and private sector use of such restricted recipient programs, including weighing the potential costs and benefits of instituting the control. CMS could consider piloting such a program with a focus on hydrocodone and oxycodone, the two drug classes where we identified the largest potential doctor shopping activity. Along with a restricted recipient program, CMS should also consider facilitating the sharing of information on identified doctor shoppers among the Part D drug plan sponsors so that those beneficiaries cannot circumvent the program by switching prescription drug plans. In considering such controls, CMS should seek congressional authority as appropriate.

Hi guys at riot. I posted a thread before about this problem, but you seemed to disregard it so I will post it over and over again untill you include my problem in the next patch.
Original Post:
I dont know if you noticed it, but all the mana costs for abilities are wrong!!!
If you play shaco and want to make the box ability it says that it costs 60 mana to cast, but what it cost is 61 mana. Same goes for all abilities. They all cost 1 more mana than it should. I died due to this fact about 3 times now and its a anoying glitch or wtf it should be called... maybe riot workers are to lazy to change it. The thing is that if you dont change it and ignore my request you are just dumb. I hope to see a change and a reply from you riot, now make my day!

Five Things to Remember About Pulse-Modulated Fuel Pumps
Pulse-modulated systems can be identified because they generally have no external Schrader valve port for testing fuel pressure.
The range extension comprises 23 part numbers and will provide coverage for an additional 2.2 million vehicles.
The parts are in stock and available for immediate shipping. The air struts retail for $525.50 each, and are available from Arnott as part number AS-2603 (right) and AS-2604(left). A $200 core charge applies to each part.
According to Penray, the key to the effectiveness and durability of these new heavy-duty coolant filters is the company's fiberglass-based filtering media incorporated into a sophisticated triple-layer design that provides exceptional filtration, even in extreme operating conditions.
Developed together with a strategic partner in the backing plate manufacturing industry, this new product represents the potential for a total weight-savings of up to 7.5 kilograms per vehicle (combination of truck and trailer), according to TMD.
The new belts, ContiTech SILENT GRIP and ContiTech TOUGH GRIP, were originally developed by ContiTech to solve specific problems on major OE applications.
Each of the aluminum gaskets are engineered to provide superior sealing capability, high heat resistance and easy installation, the company says.
Since its launch in 2008, the Strut-Plus lineup has grown significantly by adding vehicle- and corner-specific part numbers that help restore original equipment design performance.
The new part numbers include radiators, filler necks, oil pans, fuel tank straps and fuel pump assemblies for popular late-model domestic and import applications.

text: Stephanie Greene Commentator Stephanie Greene is a free-lance writer now living with her husband and sons on the family farm in Windham County. Greene: Selfies By Stephanie Greene • Nov 11, 2014 I took my first "selfie" recently, and then deleted it. I may look my best standing in the bathroom brushing my teeth –but it's not an image I'm ready to share on the Internet. To some, "selfies" are evidence of our runaway narcissism. Certainly, if an extra-terrestrial ever traveled our Cloud, she'd be baffled by the millions of hugging humans posing with motorcycles, children or oversized pumpkins. Greene: Winter Worries By Stephanie Greene • Oct 28, 2014 We consult the Old Farmer's Almanac. We examine the stripes on wooly caterpillars. We count thirty days after seeing the first migrating geese to pinpoint the first snowfall. This year, I'm adding the migration of mice indoors to the Signs of a Tough Winter to Come. Greene: Parrots at the Polls By Stephanie Greene • Oct 10, 2014 We've been hosting an Australian heavy metal band, King Parrot, off and on, for a few weeks. And it's been quite an adventure. In Aussie slang, Parrot is an obnoxious and loud person. King Parrot, therefore, is the most obnoxious. But offstage, our guests have been anything but. They're thoughtful, kind, funny, wildly grateful for any meal I happen to pull together, hard working, intelligent and very charming guests. So we've been quizzing them about Australia. Greene: Catherine Stratton By Stephanie Greene • Sep 12, 2014 Neither the town of Stratton nor the mountain were named for the Newfane Strattons, as fond rural legend would have it. But such is our affection for Catherine Stratton, that so many of us wanted it to be so. She was the gold standard of summer people. She loved, celebrated and contributed to Vermont in ways both large and small. Greene: Nursing Home Needs By Stephanie Greene • Sep 8, 2014 Lately, I've been visiting nursing homes. The residents in these facilities require round the clock skilled nursing care, involving complex medications and close medical monitoring. A relatively new nursing home trend called the "culture change movement" seeks to address quality of life issues - and I've seen some progress. Activities directors try to schedule events that will benefit a broad range of people. But in my very unscientific survey of residents and elders, it appears to me that mental stimulation still takes a back seat to physical rehab and occupational therapy. Greene: Dyed In Vermont By Stephanie Greene • Aug 26, 2014 "Friends don't let friends craft with insipid yarns." That's the motto of Lisa Bass's web-based business, White Birch Fiber Arts. About a year ago, Bass posted pictures of a few skeins of her hand dyed self-striping sock yarn on the fiber site, Ravelry. Then, at the urging of an online acquaintance, she began selling them on Etsy, the crafters site; and they sold out quickly. Since early this year, Bass has sold more than 2000 skeins online, doubling her business every month. She now produces about 200 skeins in a two week cycle, assisted by her son. Greene: Consolidation Collective By Stephanie Greene • Jul 14, 2014 When we first moved back to Vermont from Massachusetts eleven years ago, we rejoiced in the small schools our sons would be attending. We envisioned individual attention in idyllic, purposeful classrooms. Instead, we encountered unchecked bullying, in classes so small and ingrown that just one new student could threaten their stability. Greene: Consolidation Cyber-style By Stephanie Greene • Jul 3, 2014 For more than 15 years, Vermont high schools have offered Virtual High School to students who want to take classes their schools can't provide. These courses are taught by teachers from all over the country, using a variety of curricula. Costs are covered by the high school in a combination of teacher hours and fees in exchange for student slots. The VHS catalogue lists 250 courses, ranging from animal behavior and zoology to entrepreneurship. Greene: Wild Turkeys By Stephanie Greene • May 27, 2014 Ben Franklin was a great fan of the American turkey, admiring their courage and wiliness in particular. He even suggested that they be substituted for the bald eagle (which he called "a bird of bad moral character") on our national seal. I used to find Franklin's respect a little hard to fathom. On back roads, I often come upon a flock of turkeys trotting in headlong panic, back and forth in front of the car, acting like not very bright poultry. I often wondered how they ever managed to thrive, so I decided to investigate. Greene: Health Factors By Stephanie Greene • May 12, 2014 According to the 2013 America's Health Rankings Report, Vermont is the second healthiest state in the country, after Hawaii. And since we're also one of the oldest states, with a median age of 41.5, I was curious to look further into these statistics. Well, for starters, we have the highest high school graduation rate in the country – and worldwide, education is a well documented indicator of improved health outcomes. We also have among the highest rates of people with health insurance, at 92%. Pages1 2 3 4 next › last »

Komodo dragon bites 2 in officeFebruary 07,2013Komodo dragon
bites 2 in office
JAKARTA, Indonesia Two people have been hospitalized after being attacked by a giant Komodo dragon that wandered into the office of a wildlife park in eastern Indonesia.
An official at Komodo National Park, Heru Rudiharto, said Wednesday the 6½-foot-long Komodo dragon attacked a park ranger after walking into the office on Tuesday.
It then attacked another park employee who came to help him. Both were badly bitten and were evacuated to a hospital on Bali Island.
Rudiharto said the park ranger also was attacked by a Komodo dragon in 2009.
Endangered Komodo dragons can grow longer than 10 feet. Fewer than 4,000 are believed to be alive. They are found in the wild primarily on the eastern Indonesian islands of Komodo, Padar and Rinca.MORE IN Wire NewsFERGUSON A grand jury declined Monday to indict police officer Darren Wilson in the death of...

Locked in a wrestling match with the Governor over Medicaid (and how much it will go over budget) the Old Bull Mooses invited Art Pope (the Budget Czar) over to the Senate for a cordial visit then added if he didn't come along peacefully they'd send him a subpoena.
Pope, responding like a gentleman, took the affront politely saying there'd be no need for fisticuffs then trooped over to the Senate, explained patiently how Medicaid had $70 million in cash (to pay its outstanding bills) so the Bull Mooses' fear of a $250 million deficit was unfounded then added soothingly, '
There is good news but there are still many uncertainties.'
Now it must be said the Old Bull Mooses had history on their side: Last year Medicaid was $457 million over budget and the year before it was $375 million over budget so, naturally, the word uncertainties got the Senators' attention – and they began to explore.
How many new people, they asked, had enrolled in Medicaid?
The answer was not what they'd hoped: No one knew because the computer system was broken.
How much, they asked, were doctors and hospitals owed that they hadn't been paid?
The answer was equally disconcerting: Another computer system was broken so no one knew the answer to that either.
A Senator said Medicaid spending had been increasing by 5% each year and asked, How much will it increase this year?
, Pope said.
Then, leaving broken computer systems behind, Pope got down to brass tacks.
," he asked, "
what is the cost of overfunding Medicaid?
" and then explained – in the Budget the Bull Mooses had proposed – the cost was firing 7,000 teacher assistants and removing 5,200 aged, blind and disabled people, including 1,600 patients with Alzheimer's or dementia, from Medicaid.
Of course, that didn't sit too well with the Senate's budget writers.
Senator Bob Rucho turned to the head of the Hospital Association, who was sitting in the audience, and asked if there was enough money in Pope's plan to pay all the bills the hospitals were owed.
The Hospital Chief said he didn't know so Rucho next fired a tougher question at him: If it turned out the Governor hadn't budgeted enough to pay the hospital's bills would they eat the difference?
That didn't sit too well with the Hospital Chief but, at least, when the smoke cleared Rucho'd established the hospitals weren't about to risk putting their money where their mouth was when it came to verifying the exactitude of Medicaid budgets.
At the end of the day the Bull Mooses were still dead-set on cutting Medicaid to the aged, blind and disabled to balance a budget the Governor's budget director says doesn't need balancing except for the fact there are some uncertainties and two broken computer systems which mean no one is sure of the real numbers.

A Lit Stick of Dynamite
Carter Wrenn
posted on July 04, 2014 10:30
There's a lit stick of dynamite – and one unanswered question – being blithely passed from hand to hand in the backrooms of Raleigh: Who will the State Senators and Representatives make pay to cleanup Duke Energy's coal ash ponds – which Duke says is going to cost $10 billion and which, Duke also says, in fairness ought to be added to its customers' electric bills.
Attorney General (and not one to look a gift horse in the mouth) Roy Cooper, who's running for Governor, promptly disagreed, saying Duke ought to pay every penny which inspired Cooper's Democratic allies to add an amendment to the Senate Republicans' '
Coal Ash Cleanup
' bill to make Duke pay.
The old Bull Mooses promptly quashed the Democrats' amendment then fell cryptically silent which oddly – given the murky waters of Senate politics – sent a crystal clear message: The Bull Mooses, after they'd just kiboshed Duke paying the $10 billion, faced a tough choice: Either tell consumers their electric bills would be going up or lay low and say nothing.
Silence spoke volumes.
Which attracted the attention of Conor (the Jessecrat) who grunted,
What we have here is half-baked politicians coming up with the wrong cure for a problem.
Conor explained both Cooper's and the Republicans' solutions had more to do with politics than fixing the problem then added,
The real question here is how much can Duke afford to pay? If it has $10 billion, fine, let it pay it all. But if Duke can only pay $1 billion then some poor soul's got to find the backbone to tell people their electric bills are going up $9 billion.
Of course, even for our finest politicians, that would be just plain treacherous – imagine a Bull Moose, running for reelection, looking voters straight in the eye and saying,
I voted to increase your electric bills,
while at the exact same moment his opponent's looking the exact same voters in the eye saying,
Duke should pay it all

Dangerous Terrain for an Optimist
Carter Wrenn
posted on July 03, 2014 10:02
The Governor sent his budget over to the Senate.
And as Rodney Dangerfield used to say, He got no respect. It was DOA.
The Senate sent its budget over to the House.
And it got no respect either. DOA, again.
The House sent its budget to the Senate.
And met the same fate.
Then, just when things looked bleak, House Speaker Thom Tillis, an optimist, announced anyone who "reports there's a big gap between the House and the Senate isn't paying attention" and sent another, abridged, budget to the Senate.
He got even less respect than the Governor.
The old Bull Mooses declared his budget was a "gimmick" – and went home for a long weekend.

The news from Iraq was puzzling.
West of Baghdad, ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) was whipping our allies the al-Maliki government.
At the same time, next door in Syria, President Assad was bombing our enemy ISIS.
Meanwhile, in Washington, President Obama was asking Congress for $500 million to send guns to Syrian rebels so they could attack Assad.
Which was wise, the President said, since the rebels are moderates who'll attack ISIS too.
Only, up until now, the President has said we shouldn't send arms to Syria because it's too hard to tell a moderate from an immoderate rebel and the guns might end up in the hands of the wrong people – like ISIS.

A Year Later…
Carter Wrenn
posted on July 01, 2014 15:12
Last year (after their big victory in the 2012 election) as soon as Republican State Senators and State Representatives got to Raleigh they went to work to cut spending and it was almost like a competition:
The House would announce it had cut a hundred million dollars.
And the Senate would top that and announce it had cut two hundred million.
It went on like that for months until, in the end, they'd cut more than any legislature anyone could remember but, of course, all that cutting came with a price: After they got home Republican Senators and Representatives got hammered for not giving teachers raises, for cutting the unemployment benefits, and for denying care to the poor, halt, sick and lame – Reverend William Barber even blamed them for hurting little children.
For awhile none of that seemed to faze legislators but a year's a long time to listen to people saying you've hurt little children and the other day when I received the House Caucus newsletter (about the House's new budget) the wind had changed. The legislator who'd sent the newsletter explained how he'd just voted to:
Raise teachers' salaries;
Raise all other state employees' salaries;
Give veterans in-state college tuition rates;
Increase Pre-K funding;
Hire more people to provide child welfare;
Hire more bureaucrats to battle coal ash;
Give $3 million to the Biotechnology Center;
Give $190 million for the Information Technology Fund;
And put more money for the highway fund.
The only cut he mentioned was a cut in ferry tolls.
I reckon if anyone doubts the efficiency of attacking a state legislator – they ought to read the list.

Who Captured Whom?
Carter Wrenn
posted on June 30, 2014 13:08
As much as I admire the Old Bull Mooses' single-minded pertinacity, I've been unkind lately to the State Senate but at dinner last night Conor, who may be the last of the Jessecrats, set me straight.
I'd written – a couple of days ago – how the Democratic political wizards around Raleigh believe the Senate Republicans have captured the state Chamber of Commerce, turning it into a political appendage of their campaign committee, and the proof is the state and national Chambers contributing $800,000 to a couple of Republican organizations to pay for ads to defeat Democratic Supreme Court Justice Robin Hudson.
As soon as Conor – who has a photographic memory and a penchant for shedding light on obscure pieces of history – set down the menu last night he leaned back and said,
You got it ass-backwards – or haven't you ever heard of Stigler's theory of 'Regulatory Capture'?
I had to admit I hadn't and grinning Conor explained how George Stigler an Economics Professor at the University of Chicago had won a Nobel Prize for his theory of
Regulatory Capture
– which works like this:
The government, with the best of intentions, sets up an agency to regulate, say, coal ash ponds and immediately the corporations who're being regulated focus on the new agency, wining, dining, lobbying, wooing, cajoling, and making contributions to politicians to influence the new regulations.
At the same time, on the other side of the ledger, the average citizen (who personally has very little or no stake at all in the regulations) does nothing.
Time passes and all the flattering and wooing and contributing (in hopes of getting their friends appointed to the agency's staff) bears fruit and, suddenly, instead of regulating the corporation the agency's been captured by it.Then a worse thing happens: The agency starts passing regulations to help the corporation by giving it an edge over its competitors.
According to Professor Stigler it's a problem there's no avoiding and '
Regulatory Capture
' is a threat every regulatory agency faces by its very nature – protecting an agency from external pressure may be a palliative but in the end, Stigler warns, no regulator at all is better than a captured one.
Conor began ticking off examples of regulatory capture – explaining how the Securities and Exchange Commission was set up to protect the public from Wall Street but now protects Wall Street from the public – then rolled through a list of bills the State Senate had passed which the local Chamber of Commerce supported and said:
So wouldn't you say instead of the Senate capturing the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber captured the Senate?

Old-Fashioned Back Room Politics?
Carter Wrenn
posted on June 27, 2014 14:02
The other day while I was having lunch with one of Raleigh's Democratic wizards he said,
You know a lot of people believe the Senate Republican Caucus has captured the Chamber of Commerce and turned it into an appendage of its political committee.
I said,
How's that
? and he explained the Democrats, rooting through contribution reports, had discovered Senate President Phil Berger's on the board of the
Republican Legislative Campaign Committee
(RLCC) in Washington, and that the National Chamber had given Berger's group's sister group the
Republican State Legislative Committee
(RSLC) $600,000, then a NC insurance company had given the sister group another $100,000, then, finally, the RSLC had given $900,000 to
Justice for All NC
a Republican group that ran ads to defeat Democratic Supreme Court Justice Hudson by saying she'd sided with child molesters in a Supreme Court case. I asked:
So did you find any proof Senator Berger was behind that ad
He said the ad had been made by the same folks who make ads for the Senate Republican Caucus then added the NC Chamber had contributed $200,000 to still another group that ran ads to defeat Hudson and, after the primary, Senator Bob Rucho sponsored a bill to give Chamber members like pharmaceutical companies legal immunity when they sell bad drugs. I asked:
So you don't think that was simply good policy?
Do you think
, he said,
it was sheer coincidence

The Wrong Cure
Carter Wrenn
posted on June 26, 2014 17:04
Mike, a young down-the-line rock-ribbed Republican partisan who sees eye to eye with Senator Bob Rucho (who once tweeted 'Obamacare has done more damage than the Nazis') but is too smart to say anything that foolish within earshot of a reporter, and Jim who would like Senator Elizabeth Warren to run for President because Hilary's too conservative were arguing across the table when Conor, a small town lawyer and, by my reckoning, the last of the Jessecrats, interrupted and said:
Alright. If Bob Rucho's not the most powerful Old Bull in the Senate he's pretty close to it so when he woke up one morning and in a flash of revelation saw there were too many frivolous lawsuits against pharmaceutical companies (when they sell a fellow a drug that's supposed to cure his high blood pressure but instead lands him in the ER with a stroke) it was just a matter of time before he pulled the pin on the grenade and – Conor waved both hands – kaboom.
Well you have to admit
, Mike said,
there are way too many lawsuits
, and Conor said one frivolous lawsuit was too many but there's a simple way to stop that: Punish the people who file them. After all, nothing stops foolishness like a big fine or jail time but Senator Rucho's hadn't done that so now a lot of folks were wondering whether he'd had a different goal in mind all along and all his talk about frivolous lawsuits was just a fig leaf.
Don't get me wrong
, Conor added,
I'm not saying Bob Rucho's malicious, a politician finding the wrong cure for a problem's nothing new – it happens every day. But giving a guilty pharmaceutical company immunity from practically all lawsuits has to be some kind of a first.
Mike was trying to come up with a way to derail Conor but before he could say a word Conor struck again saying Republicans like to say people ought to work and stand on their own two feet and take care of themselves and when they get in a jam the government shouldn't bail them out but for some strange reason when it comes to pharmaceutical companies (in Senator Rucho's eyes) personal responsibility doesn't apply – when a pharmaceutical company screws up the government ought to step in and take it off the hook.

Two Sides to Every Coin
Carter Wrenn
posted on June 25, 2014 12:21
When the 'anti-frackers' launched their million dollar ad campaign to defeat Chad Barefoot and three other Republican State Senators the Senate Republican Caucus returned fire, calling on Barefoot's opponent to denounce the flood of "special interest money" pouring into the district then added, "
Who knows what Sarah Crawford
(Barefoot's opponent)
has promised these people."
That night gathered around the dinner table with an eclectic collection of Democratic and Republican partisans, lawyers, and political consultants, Conor, a small-town lawyer who may be the last of the Jessecrats said,
In the simple black and white world of Republican heroes and Democratic villains what the 'anti-frackers' are up to is pure villainy but there're two sides to every coin.
Mike, who greatly admires the work of the Republican State Senators, leaned forward, braced himself on both elbows and said,
I expect I'll probably regret this – but how's that?
and Conor explained how the 'pro-frackers' have been contributing pretty steadily to Republican Bob Rucho who'd just passed their bill to jump-start fracking and give the fracking companies a million dollar government subsidy and how, back in April, the local Chamber of Commerce and its cousin the US Chamber of Commerce had given $800,000 to Republican groups to pay for ads to defeat Democratic Supreme Court Justice Robin Hudson and how, after the election, Senator Rucho had introduced a bill to give Chamber members (like pharmaceutical companies) immunity when they sell a fellow a drug that's supposed to cure his diabetes but, instead, lands him in ER with a stroke.
Mike didn't like where the conversation was heading – so he said:
So you don't think fracking means more jobs? and Conor said, We're not talking about jobs. We're talking about your Republican kettle calling my Democratic pot black.

Soul Mates Fall Out
Carter Wrenn
posted on June 24, 2014 16:14
For years they've been the best of buddies. Soul mates. Like peas and carrots. But, now, they've had a falling out…followed by blows being struck.
Reaching into the treasury in Washington and pulling out a wad of other people's money to give to your friends is as old an American tradition as apple pie.
Back before the Civil War, Congressmen in the Western and Northern states got together to take money from people in the South (with tariffs) to build 'internal improvements' (like roads) in the West and protect textile mills in New England.
During the Gilded Age, Congressmen from just about everywhere voted to give cash and land and subsidies to railroad tycoons.
Today, Democrats, like Obama, give cash to their friends like Solyndra and Republicans do the same with their friends. More prickly, no matter how much you love Social Security and Medicare there's no avoiding the awkward fact that, in all likelihood, mom's going to get more money back from Social Security than she ever paid in and the difference is going to be paid with other people's money.
The same malady – corporate subsidies – led to the ultra-right-wing-Koch Brothers-Art Pope-funded-
Americans for Prosperity
's falling out with the ultra-right wing Republican State Senate led by Phil Berger.
The rumbling started when the Senate voted to take hard cash out of the state exchequer and hand it to movie production companies.
The first blow was struck when
Americans for Prosperity
branded the plan 'Hollywood handouts.'
Of course, that was bound to rile the Old Bulls in the Senate:
running ads calling Republican Senators scoundrels six months before the election was not a happy development.

Henrico voters face long lines at precincts
But registrar doesn't expect higher turnout than 2008
UPDATED: 2:30 P.M. – Voting in Henrico County – viewed as one of several key swing counties in the nation in today's presidential election – was brisk this morning and early afternoon, with longer than normal lines reported countywide and many voters waiting an hour or more to cast their ballots.
But despite the crowds, Henrico Registrar Mark Coakley told the Citizen that he doesn't expect voter turnout today to exceed the county's 79.8 percent turnout rate in the 2008 presidential election.
That year, morning rain kept turnout slightly lower early in the day. Today, voters had only cold temperatures to deal with as they went to the polls. The morning rush should reduce the length of lines at Henrico's 92 precincts this evening, Coakley said.
President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney identified Henrico early in this campaign as the key swing county in Virginia, the potential key state in the election. Obama won the county by nearly 19,000 votes four years ago, turning a historically red county blue. His victory here that year was due in large part to his 23,000-vote advantage over Republican John McCain in the Fairfield and Varina districts.
For Romney to paint Henrico red today, he'll likely need to cut into Obama's margins in those two districts and attract more voters in the traditionally Republican Three Chopt and Tuckahoe districts, where McCain won by slightly less than 9,000 votes in 2008.
If Romney's margins in those two district offset Obama's margins in Fairfield and Varina, then the county's vote could come down to the Brookland District – which McCain won four years ago by just 42 votes out of the 37,219 cast there.
This is the first presidential election since the county shifted the lines of its magisterial districts slightly in 2011, following the 2010 U.S. census.
Only minor voting issues had been reported in Henrico as of 1:45 p.m. today. Power flickered at two precincts in the Fairfield District this morning, but Dominion Power crews quickly restored it and no votes were lost, Coakley said.
The number of absentee voters in the county was lower this year than in 2008 by about 4,000, Coakley said. But, at about 16,000, "it's still high," he said.
Henrico voters today also are helping select a replacement for outgoing U.S. Senator Jim Webb in a race contesting former governors George Allen, a Republican, and Tim Kaine, a Democrat. Webb defeated Allen six years ago to claim the seat.
Voters in the western portion of Henrico also are choosing between Republican incumbent Eric Cantor and Democrat Wayne Powell in the race for the 7th District U.S. House of Representatives seat, while voters in the eastern part of the county are choosing between Democratic incumbent Bobby Scott and Republican challenger Dean Longo.

very slow conection speed and high noise?

Hi i have recently moved into new house and work from home. My VPN drops every 10 mins or so. After looking around, it looks like my internet connection is that slow the VPN keeps getting a no response /timeout. Checked my router and get the following Connection speed 172kbps (down) 281kbps (up) line attenuation 30db (down) 8.5 db (up) noise margin 31db (down) 23db (up) the exchange is actually only 1 mile away
using speedtest.net ping 261ms download speed 0.15mbps upload speed 0.22 mbps
using the same router and same ID on next street (parent house with same provider) get 6 times quicker (admittedly still not flying but would allow me to keep VPN up)
Have router (netgear DG834G v2) connected to master socket with filter. Extention lines are live but currently has no plate/socket attached. So nothing attached to those.
Any ideas?

Assume you are connected to the main telephone socket? Do you have any other equipment attached to any other sockets in the house? If so remove them and see if this gets better. You will need to have filters on all of your phone sockets that have equipment plugged in.

thanks for the reply. but the other sockets dont even have a socket on them yet so cant connect anything to them. so only have the master socket with a socket on it that i can plug into. and have a filter on the master socket.
i upgraded firmware on router which doubled my connection speed at the house round the corner. but made no difference to mine. still 170kbps connection speed. wirless or connected makes no difference to connection speed

BALTIMORE, March 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Open Society Institute's Closing the Addiction Treatment Gap (CATG) today said key opportunities exist for the new Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDPC) to shift and strengthen the United States' approach to the problem of addiction.
Timed with today's announcement of Seattle Police Chief R. Gil Kerlikowske's official nomination as the nation's "drug czar," the CATG initiative called on the Obama Administration and Chief Kerlikowske to review and reform the overall rhetoric and direction that has surrounded the U.S. approach to addiction issues for decades.
"The new director can exploit significant opportunities," said CATG Director Victor Capoccia. "America doesn't need an 'Office of National Drug Control Policy' at all. As a first priority, we hope he realizes that America instead needs an 'Office of Addiction Prevention and Treatment' that truly understands addiction as a health condition, and that helps federal, state and local entities to address this health condition."
Other opportunities outlined by the CATG initiative include the following:
