TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Democratic candidate Patrick Wiesner is running for the U.S. Senate in Kansas almost completely on his own dime.
Wiesner is a Lawrence attorney, and a finance report filed by his campaign shows that he's made $48,000 in personal loans to his campaign. He's also contributed another $2,000 to his bid.
He's reported only $601 in other contributions. Through July 16, he spent about $37,000.
Wiesner also ran for the U.S. Senate in 2010, receiving 10 percent of the vote in the primary that year.
In Tuesday's primary, Wiesner faces Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor.
Taylor has raised about $141,000 for his campaign since entering the race in November, including about $13,500 since the beginning of July. His campaign reported spending more than $123,000 through July 16.

Actress Alicia Silverstone, best known for the 1995 film classic Clueless (and I'm not sure what else), unleashed quite a media storm last week when she posted a video of herself feeding her six month old son pre-chewed food. And not by spoon or fork, mind you, but directly from her mouth to his.
There is no question this practice is unusual -- I can't say I know a single girlfriend who used this food processing method with her kid, but hey, we all owned blenders. And while feeding children like baby birds (or in Silverstone's case cubs -- her son's name is Bear Blu) may be a meaningful way for some parents to bond with their offspring, I doubt this practice will be going mainstream.
Interestingly, there are experts in the field of maternal and child nutrition that have studied the health benefits of premastication (the fancy word for chewing your kid's food for him) and have found that the practice potentially provides both immunological and digestive benefits . And there are other studies that feel it's risky due to the potential of passing along dangerous viruses. But I don't think genuine health concerns were at the root of why this video touched an Internet nerve. I think the story outlived its 15 minutes because the practice, to our "civilized" eyes, seems just plain gross. Swapping spit is just not something we are used to doing with our children.
But I am certainly not going to judge Ms. Silverstone's choice. Because let's just say when it comes to the parent-child gross-o-meter this one barely registers for me.
I have let my child use either his or her own sleeves and then move onto mine for nose blowing during cold and flu season. I have sat smiling while my toddler vomited on an unsuspecting passenger seated next to us on an airplane. I have wiped the poopy tushies of not just my own children, but of countless neighbor children as well.
I have fished Matchbox cars out of unflushed toilets (to my kid's credit, I think they may have been Matchbox boats -- makes sense he thought they could float). I've also fished carefully placed rocks out of snotty nasal cavities. We have closed down the baby pool more than once at more than one area swim club.
The five-second rule for eating things off the floor is more like the five-day rule at our house. I think my middle child once ate an M&M, with my permission, found in the corner of the basement. It probably fell more into the five-year rule. I have knowingly shared my toothbrush with my kids on vacation. I was just too lazy to search out the closest drugstore. This probably isn't a whole lot different from premasticating, from an exchange of bodily fluids perspective.
No, I am probably not the mom to call out another mom on her decision to do something a bit, and for some very, gross.
But hey, I didn't get into this parenthood business because I expected it to be antiseptic or pristine.
For me, it's often the little messes and missteps along the way, while not always hygienic, that give me something to chew on.
Although usually not literally.comments powered by Disqus
You may call them "play dates," but I like the term "mom dates," especially since my kids are still too young to really care that there's another small person to squabble over toys with.
If there is an excuse for not working out and eating healthy, I have used it: I don't have time. I'm too tired. I'll start tomorrow. I'm no good at this, I give up. I don't know where to start. Yes, I have used all of these and more.
At almost a year old, my kids are in the blissful stage of life where they'll eat nearly anything that I put in front of them (at least as long as it doesn't require much in the way of molar action).
My family recently went through something that we have not experienced in over eight years. We have become a household that no longer harbors a crib or a changing table.
"There really is no wrong way to do it." That's how Madeline, age 13, describes creating artwork. She and her classmates at Prairie View Middle School in Sun Prairie are honing their artistic skills by participating in the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art's Art on Tour program.
I'm having trouble enjoying the season, because I can't keep myself from thinking about the miserable weather that's sure to be following close on the heels of the crisp, pleasant fall we've been having. I am not at all emotionally prepared to be the parent of two toddlers during a Wisconsin winter.
I've always been a supporter of companies that empower women and girls, and when the creator of such a company is a fellow Wisconsinite, I get even more excited. When Melissa Wardy of Janesville got fed up with stereotypes found in clothing for girls, she started her own company.
Do you have a little reader or an aspiring teenaged writer in your house? If so, you may want to venture to the Wisconsin Book Festival this weekend, to whet their appetite for wonderful words as well as your own.
When I was pregnant with my daughter, my husband and I had two names picked out. Upon her arrival we had not yet come to a conclusion on what that name would be. Everyone told us that when we saw her we would just know. We didn't.
At age 10 months, my kids have seen the zoo a lot already. I was a zoology major in college, and I have something of a zoo addiction still, so the twins (and their dad) are more or less condemned to a future rife with zoo visits.
Home-schooling can be a lonely proposition. Even as a college professor, Juliana Hunt remembers struggling to find support to home-school her now-grown daughter. "I was always hoping to find like-minded people who were in the same position as me," she says. "I know that children learn best through a give-and-take, question-and-answer process of teaching and learning, but where do you find mentors who can make that happen?"
After sleep patterns, I think the next biggest parenting concern I have and hear about revolves around the topic of food. How can I make sure my kids are eating enough vegetables? Did I pack them a lunch that is healthy enough? What can I feed them after school that doesn't come from a box? How many gripes am I going to get about the dinner I'm about to prepare?
As far as places to embark on Baby's First Air Travel go, Dane County Regional Airport is a pretty sound choice, especially at 6 p.m. on a Saturday night. My biggest fear was that my nine-month-old son would start screaming in the airport; my second biggest fear was that my son would start screaming and some of my former Epic colleagues would be around to hear it.
The recent shift in the weather is just another sign that autumn is fast approaching. That means one of my favorite activities is just around the corner -- apple picking. My husband and I have been picking apples every fall since before our kids were born.
I have a lot of questions about what to put on my eight-month-olds' plates -- and, if I'm honest, a deep and abiding fear of putting the wrong thing there. Did I start them on solid foods at the right time? What's the deal with baby-led weaning -- how much self-feeding should they be doing? At what age should I give them potential allergens like shellfish or nut products?
Lily the potbellied pig arrived at Heartland Farm Sanctuary blind, lethargic and too overweight to walk. The children of Heartland's summer day camp program took it upon themselves to put the curl back in her tail.
Is it just me or does each summer seem to go by quicker than the last? The end of summer is upon us and for many families this means the start of a new school year.
This past week, on the way to the grocery store, my daughter asked what I believed she thought would be a innocuous question, "Mom, when are we going back-to-school shopping?"
Volunteering with the Young Writers Summer Camp this past week really helped me to remember how utterly creative kids can be when encouraged to come up with their own ideas and use their own words.
This past week I gleefully accepted an offer for new job on the UW-Madison campus. My kids are getting are older and I guess I've felt for a while now that it was time to figure out what would be next for me on the professional front.

Lots of problems there man, I don't know where to begin but it comes down to GEAR (don't take offense to this post
1) Like others said, your resistances are horrid! 400 should be the minimum....700 is ideal for melee characters in inferno. However, see #3 which I think should be addressed simultaneously with resistance.
2) 9K dps and 16K life very low, dare I say too low, for inferno. Aim for over 30K life and 15K dps if you are going to be a more defensive role.
3) Finally, and most importantly for a Monk, your Life on Hit is ZERO! That's what will keep you alive. Google or youtube monks with very high Life on hit.....it's the only viable way to survive as melee.
3a) Along with Life on hit....your attack speed is very low. 1.4 attacks per second is not cutting it either. Find some rings, gloves, or a weapon with increased attack speed modifer.
Recommendation: Use whatever gold you have to buy gear on the AH to address these issues. If you are able, farm Act 1 inferno to find items and make more gold to get the items you want. I'm able to make 400-500K per hour doing my secret farm run + warden/butcher run. I have each run down to about 30 minutes, usually come out with x10 yellows, tons of gold, blues to sell, and an ocasional legendary. Nothign found was good enough for me to use, however, they do sell on the AH to add to that 400K per hour run.
- hit me up if you need more help. Oh, were you able to solo Hell Act IV and Diablo? It's a good measurement if you are ready for Act 1 inferno...Act 2 infero is a whole other story.

We wondered what it would be like if Movember was also all about motivation at work – not in a party way, with cakes and superficial initiatives – but in a way where everyone seeks to understand motivation (their own and others in their team) and there's a collective effort to work on it and keep it high.
This article based on an interview with Irish rugby legend Brian O'Driscoll sees him addressing "some of the game's fundamental truths". There are a number of "myths" (nine of them) that O'Driscoll busts, which we recognise translate directly to business. In particular myths two, three and seven can be applied simply and easily to performance at work. We think the others can too but would invite you to see how you could take the learning from one incredibly consistent elite level team performer and consider what they might mean to you in your world. We think two, three and seven are obvious (see what you think) and would be interested in your thoughts on number nine! If you want to take this further see what other performance myths you're believing and perpetuating which are getting in your way…
We work as human performance experts helping businesses to think prepare and perform like elite athletes. We help people to focus their desire to improve on things they could do differently – sometimes parts of their performance that they have never considered – and often helping them to do some of the obvious things that they've never done because they're too busy chasing results.
What we do then, is help people to embrace the changes that they want and need to make to get better.
There is an obvious and massive connection between on the one hand performance improvement and learning and on other hand, change. They are two sides of the same coin.
A slightly different blog from us this week. Take a look at this video of Oliver Wilson after his victory at golf's Alfred Dunhill Links Championship last weekend. How much can you see in there that tells you why and how Oliver Wilson is an elite performer.
We think there's a lot. As a starter, we think:
- the recognition that performance is a journey
- a desire to improve and learn
- recognition that sometimes talent isn't enough (see rule 5)
- sometimes you need to "man up" (see rule 21)
- maintaining belief
- working on confidence
What else do you see and hear?
Given that high performance thinking, preparation and performance are often similar from one context to another, what do you see and hear that could be applied to your world?
Often the biggest insights are the simplest ones right in front of your face.
The typical approach we see to talent development in the business world makes our hearts sink just a little. We know it's all done with the best of intent but in terms of talent development, creating and nurturing a high performance culture and crucially, fulfilling the talent that has been so expensive to identify and acquire, it's just a bit rubbish.
Let's get some fundamentals established first. As ever in these position papers, we're looking at the world through a high performance lens and so the standards are high. If you're looking for your talent development to be just OK or not bad, you probably won't get much out of this paper. If you want your talent development programme to reflect how serious you are about human performance, then read on.
We worked with a team recently in a very large business where there was quite a lot of unhelpful noise about performance reviews being linked to pay rises. In this team, of about 15 people, the view of the leader and of the team members was that everyone was performing very well and we saw evidence to back that up. However the leader had been told that under their system, this was not possible and only a certain number of people in the team could be performing excellently (and get a higher pay rise) and that a certain number had to be underperforming (in order to get a lower pay rise).
"There are so many other men that could be sitting in this seat, but he's sitting here (as Olympic champion). The reason that he's sitting here is because of the choices that he's made and that's something that's valuable to each and every one of us"
Mike Singletary, American Football Coach (talking to camera when meeting Mark Hunter, Olympic gold medallist)
The latest series of the Great British Bake-Off has been filling our TV screens and the column inches of our national newspapers over the last week or so. Now in series 5, it's strangely compelling mixture of comedy, drama, cooking and competition, and has consistently captured the public's imagination as essential TV viewing since it's first series. We've been watching 'Bake-Off' avidly (well, some of us have), and inevitably we've been viewing it through a performance lens (which might seem odd but then again we're a pretty strange bunch of people). Here are our top 3 insights on what Bake Off reinforces about performance:
We're proud to work with some of the UK's largest energy providers. One of the things we've observed is how hard these "traditional" businesses work to embrace the opportunities and challenges of the latest technology.
For example, over the last few years smart meters have been installed into approximately 1 million British homes. These gadgets engage customers with cause and effect on their energy usage using a simple and user-friendly gadget. This means about 1 million households in Britain can conduct ongoing research into how to better manage their energy consumption. Yes, much of the stuff you find out from these things is common sense, but the meters help engage people with doing the things they need to do to get the results they want – a more efficient home and lower energy bill. In effect, they help engage people with turning commonsense into common practice.
Roger Federer is currently preparing for the US Open. One of the true greats of the game, he's vying for his 18th Grand Slam title. He holds a host of modern day records – like winning all 24 finals he reached from July 2003 to November 2005. But in the debate about 'who's the greatest', the most impressive and compelling argument for Federer must be his longevity at the very very top of the game. The US Open will be his 60th consecutive Grand Slam, having competed in his first in 1998. He won his first Grand Slam in 2003. His career as a tennis professional spans nearly 20 years – which is fairly remarkable by modern day standards. But what is almost completely unique is that he's consistently been delivering at the very highest level – he's been in the world's top 6 since 2002 and has only failed to win a Grand Slam in two calendar years during that time.

Good thing all these fossil fuels hating Warmists aren't going to take fossil fuel trips to attend the march, eh?
Climate Change Is About to Have a Populist Moment
Why an upcoming demonstration in NYC is so important
Nine days from now, on September 21, organizers of the largest climate change march in history expect at least one hundred thousand of people to join the People's Climate March in New York City. Happening just before the United Nations holds a summit on climate change, the real goal of the march is to show convening world leaders that climate change isn't just a policy issue that matters only to scientists and policy wonks. The idea is to show that climate action is a populist movement, too—and one that's capable of making some noise. (snip)
Remember, the next year is a critical one for fighting climate change. We know that at some point, very soon, humans will need to slow their use of fossil fuels if we hope to contain global warming to a manageable level. Somehow that needs to be balanced with China and India's interests in economic and population growth. Climate experts and poorer countries hit hard by extreme weather want a binding global deal to reach emissions targets. To get there, there will be another UN meeting in Peru in December, leading up to Paris in 2015, where—activists hope—an agreement can be finalized.
Iain Keith, a campaign organizer for Avaaz, a group organizing the march, may have summed up the goals of the day best. "We realized that a march could send a powerful signal," Keith told Inside Climate News. "Marches don't always change the world, but sometimes they are the only things that shake the system into widespread change."

The 25 Best Blogs Now
This is my list of the 25 most important blogs to follow right now, right now meaning in these times. These blogs are leading the charge against Obamacare, runaway government power grabs, entrenched politicians who care nothing about the Constitution, those who would take our guns, those who would impoverish us all in the name of fighting climate change, radical race baiters, and radical Feminists, and yes, the Islamization movement that would have us bow to Sharia Law. In short these are the 25 best blogs to read if you love America, our Constitution, and liberty!
No, I did not include this blog, although I think it is right up there with those I did list.
As an aside, ALL the blogs on my blogroll rock, and deserve special mention for fighting for our founding principles, so no offense at all is intended to those not listed here. WE appreciate all they do

The Definitive Guide To How Obamacare Is Destroying American Lives (Matt Walsh)
The Definitive Guide To How Obamacare Is Destroying American Lives – The Matt Walsh Blog
On Sunday night, I wrote a short post soliciting stories from my readers about how Obamacare has already immediately impacted their lives. I asked that all of these emails be directed to email@example.com. I expected a response; I didn't expect it to be quite so overwhelming.
Over the last 24 hours, my inbox has been flooded with hundreds of emails. What you'll read in this post represents a portion of them. I'm only one guy (with a fulltime job and twins) — I wasn't able to go through every single message just yet. Some, I left out because the information was too specific and personal, to the extent that it would reveal the identity of the person who sent it. Some, I couldn't include because they are simply (well written and accurate) editorials about Obamacare, but they don't speak to the personal, physical impact of Obamacare on American families. Others, I just haven't had a chance to read. I expect there will be a sequel to this post coming very soon. Thank you for your stories.
In the meantime, here are the tales of many, many, many real Americans. Share this with your friends. Every time some Statist nincompoop extols the virtues of Obamacare; every time they insist that the "Affordable Care Act" has done nothing but "help" low and middle income families; every time they babble incoherently about how Obamacare isn't "perfect" but it's still "better" than what we had before — show them this. Challenge them to read what is happening out there. This isn't abstract. It isn't academic. It isn't a matter of ideology. It isn't even an issue of constitutionality (although it's that, also). This is about people. People with kids, and bills, and health problems. This is about people who can no longer afford their health coverage, their mortgages, their lifesaving medication. This is about doctors and nurses leaving medicine behind, driven away by destructive bureaucratic interference. This is about moms and dads losing their jobs so that their employers can compensate for the financial burden of Obamacare. This is about people without insurance because of Obamacare, now being fined for not having insurance because of Obamacare. This is about business owners driven to the edge of bankruptcy. This is real. We heard a lot of fantasies about what Obamacare was "supposed" to accomplish, now it's time to talk about what it's actually doing.
So when they say you are "heartless" for opposing Obamacare, show them why it's heartless to support it.
Sure, the President, the media, Hollywood and the DC elite have touted some "success stories." But they are few and far between — and they come at a cost. This is that cost. For every person thanking his lucky stars for this new healthcare entitlement, thousands of low and middle income families are suffering.
Is that fair? Is that compassionate? Is that moral?
Notice a few things about the stories that follow: Many of the families facing financial ruin because of the ACA are young. Many are single mothers. Moreover, the vast majority of these emails are from women. I thought Obamacare was supposed to especially help women? Well, I guess for every Sandra Fluke, there's a million Annes from Nebraska. The former, deeply concerned about getting cheap birth control on the tax payer's dime. The latter, more worried about having access to affordable lifesaving medication for their children. With Obamacare, the former takes precedent over the latter.
This is insanity.
I'll be printing this compilation out and sending it to the White House. Then I'll send a copy to some of our legislators. These people can't be allowed to hide from what they've done.
This is Obamacare:
Meg, Georgia:
I'm a 12-hr night shift nurse in a hospital (the irony). I work part time so that my husband and I can trade off caring for our one-year-old (he's a firefighter who works 24 hrs on- 48 off on a rotation). My manager called me and stated I would have to, because of Obamacare- related insurance cost restraints , etc (her words), either go up on the number of hours I work each week or become a per diem employee. Did I mention I'm 6 months pregnant? So, I had to decide whether to go up to working more hours than our family can handle or go "per diem" in which case I'd immediately lose all the paid sick leave I've been earning, hoping to use for maternity leave, as well as lose a short term disability policy I've been paying for which would also help with maternity leave. Guess which we chose? How on earth do you plan for the future with the future shape-shifting constantly on the whims of egomaniacal and out-of-touch politicians? Thank goodness for a supportive and geographically close extended family.
Lisa, Oregon:
I am a small business owner and have a family of 4. My health insurance costs are fixing to double and my deductible going up from 3000 to 10,000. Obamacare makes me SICK!
Sara, Colorado:
I have four children. My husband works for a small business that has never been able to offer a health plan. We treat most sickness using natural medicine, by choice. Since health plans never cover nutrition counseling, chiropractic, supplements, or anything else that could possibly keep us from getting sick in the first place, it has never made sense to take hundreds of dollars from our one household income to pay for coverage.
We are some of those poor souls without healthcare.
Under the new laws, we get to either pay for "coverage" that I guarantee we would only use in a catastrophic situation (we haven't been on antibiotics in 7 years), OR pay a fine.
Neat. Thanks. Just what we needed in this economy. I would like for them to keep their "free" healthcare. I'll keep using my essential oils and herbs and keeping my kids healthy and strong on my own, by the grace of God.
Trish, Virginia:
We received a notice from my husband's health plan that the insurance we have now isn't economical enough according to the Obamacare regs, We don't know what will happen next. We have a low premium and a moderately-high deductible (which we meet very late in the year). I'm guessing higher premiums and deductibles are in our future.
Jess, Oklahoma:
We are losing our current health insurance at the end of this year. My husband's employer is getting rid of it due to Obamacare. Our insurance currently covers my husband, myself, and our two daughters. My husband's employer is having to replace our current insurance with a policy that is $400 more a month and an added $3000 deductible. The worst of it is that it will now cost him $100 more a month to cover me, his WIFE! Disgusting.
Nick, Florida:
My current health insurance policy for my family of four is $375/month. The cheapest I can find for relatively similar coverage is $784/month. I can "save" money by going with a high deductible plan and pay $630/month. How is that saving? I can't afford health insurance at these prices, and my employer doesn't provide insurance to employees.
Pam, Georgia:
Two of our doctors that we have been using for years made the decision to simply retire early and wash their hands of the whole system. One is nearing 70, but he had planned to practice for at least 5 more years, health permitting. Once he saw what was happening to the medical industry, he threw in the towel and will take a well-earned retirement. The other is younger, but he has invested well and was part of a group that has to turn away patients. He is, he told me, contemplating moving out of the country. He may practice again once he is free of the onerous burden of ACA. Another female doctor, in her 40′s, confided to me that she would retire if she could. She is trying to figure out a way. THAT is an effect that will ripple down to all of us, as we lose the priceless treasure of experience and caring. There will not be enough doctors to handle the caseload, so we will be shunted to PA's. The wait time for an office visit will increase. We will ALL experience a drop in the quality of care, and that is a terrible price to pay when there were other solutions far less damaging to provide for lower income Americans.
KB, Illinois:
The company I work for has capped all 250+ part time employees to 25 hours a week so that even if they go over a little, they still won't top the 30 hour "full time" designation. Employees who were struggling to pay bills while working 35 hours a week now get written up if they go over 25 hours a week. Thank you, Obamacare.
Kira, Idaho:
We were able to afford insurance for our family of six for our entire marriage (12 years) until the "Affordable" Care Act forced our insurance company to jack rates over a year in advance because they were already suffering added expenses from Obamacare. We had to cancel our insurance and have now been uninsured for over a year. We will not be enrolling in Obamacare, which means we are uninsured AND looking at a huge financial penalty, and we are just praying our four sons don't do anything boyish and need to visit the ER.
Michelle, no state given:
So not only are we losing are affordable health care plan and are insurance premiums going up my pay will be cut because even though I am covered for insurance through my husband if I work to many hours my they have to provide me with health cage so the cut my hours or force me to go full time and cut my pay. Which if I have to go full time I might as well quit my job because why work full time if it's just going to pay for daycare. Either way I'm screwed.
Elizabeth, Tennessee:
Insurance through my husband's job will be 1/3 of his paycheck before taxes. We still have to eat and pay a mortgage on top of that. No money for anything else.
Amber, South Carolina:
Obamacare has already had a negative impact on our family and we don't even know our rate increases for 2014 yet!
We are a one-income family since I choose to stay at home and raise our three children. My husband has a well paying job at an engineering firm where he manages their computers and servers. We used to have great health insurance with low co-pays and premiums. Our rates increased by 50% from 2012 to 2013. Our co-pays also went up while our coverage levels decreased. I'm scared to think how much they'll go up come January.
Our doctors offices instituted new policies and it's harder to get appointments, harder to get medication refills, harder to communicate with the doctors at all! Appointments are shorter, the doctors attention is distracted, it's more red tape and less patient care.
Exactly what part of the "Affordable Care Act" is affordable? It's not affordable for us at all!
Hey Matt,
My husband works for my fathers small business, I got let go on maternity leave, we have a 17 month old son. There's the background.
My father can't afford to offer health insurance to insure us on the cheapest plan would cost around $15,000 a year. I make nothing, my husband makes around $42,000 a year, we don't qualify for state insurance because my husband makes too much so we pay the state $182.50 a month for our baby to have insurance. Mind you we have a mortgage, a car, and all the bills and taxes associated with it, oh yea and we have to eat every now and then.
This "affordable" care comes out and they want $488 a month for just my husband and I. That's insane how is that affordable.
Before I get the go get a job, or something about not working I have applied for hundreds of jobs . Everything from a greeter at Walmart to management positions, I was working for a management firm before I gave birth. I applied for a job that would pay slightly above minimum wage, would have to pay $300 a week in day care which would leave me $14.54 after daycare, with no medical benefits. Guess what I didn't even get that!!! But the government feels that $488 on top of my sons $182.50 is affordable! How, how is that affordable?! My family's business can't afford to hire me because he can't afford to keep his staff now with all that this Obamacare has stirred up!!!!
Kristin, no state given:
My husband works for a wonderful small engineering company. We no longer have prescription coverage and after our deductible still have to pay 80/20 instead of being covered 100% like before Obamacare.
Katie, Texas:
My husband and I are twenty-somethings with student debt up to our eyeballs, full time jobs and a toddler. We hover right above the 'poverty line', and we work our butts off to pay bills and provide for our child. We're your typical middle class family.
My company provided insurance for us for an extremely good price of $95 a month. Since the ACA was signed in, it has gone up to $350 a month to be up to ACA 'guidelines'. You might be thinking 'just $350?', and while it's true that this seems like pocket change to you, for a young mom who clips coupons and works on a strict budget to put food on the table, it is devastating.
The saddest part is this: If I quit my job, I could get free insurance through Medicaid, food stamps and WIC. And you wonder why there is an epidemic of laziness and entitlement in this country?
Mike, Indiana:
So it is short and sweet. In order for my employment to become ACA compliant, they have taken away our cafeteria discount, our shift and weekend differential pay and our holiday pay. This is only for all hourly employees. Oh yeah, and I work in an ER in a HOSPITAL!
Lori, Tennessee:
My dad is 73. He lives on Social Security (that's his only "income") and his monthly Medicare premium is deducted from his check. Several years ago, he also purchased a Medicare Advantage Plan thru BCBS which he also pays a monthly premium. All his medical claims are now filed directly thru BCBS – that's how an Advantage plan works – it takes the place of Medicare, and it gives you additional coverage (for medication, extended long term care, etc). Even though he gets extra coverage, he pays two premiums 1) standard monthly Medicare premium deducted from SS check and 2) monthly premium paid directly to BCBS.
In 2013, he pays $104.90 for Medicare and $95 to BCBS.
…BCBS sent him a letter telling him that his current plan is now going to cost $121 a month ($26 more a month). That increase itself is bad because it may mean he will have to drop the Advantage plan altogether.
What is worse is that Medicare has not announced what their 2014 premiums will be. Remember, it is open enrollment time. How can my 73 year old dad compare plans and their costs without knowing whether his Medicare premium is going to increase or not.
…The government/Medicare/HHS knows it is open enrollment time. How can they not publish the Medicare premium amount for 2014?
Only one scenario seems obvious to me. The 2014 Medicare premium is increasing and the gov't wants to wait until the last minute to tell Seniors. I could be wrong, but something stinks here.
I didn't think Seniors were going to have to bear the cost burden of Obamacare too, but I'm not surprised.
April, Alabama:
My name is April and I am a 25 year old stay at home mom of two boys from Alabama. My husband busts his back working two jobs and we barely, make ends meet. Two weeks ago we received our letter from BCBS regarding our 2014 premiums. Right now our premium for our family of four is $352 a month. As of January 1st, it will jump to $686. Our mortgage is $714. I could have another house for what we will have to pay for insurance. That is if we can pay it at all!
Angie, North Carolina:
We priced healthcare thru the new system and because we're not on welfare, it would cost us a whopping $1800 a month for coverage. It sucks because our current coverage thru work doesn't even cover well child visits or immunizations for our kids.
On top of it all, Obama and his lackeys worked into their Healthcare Reform Bill additional taxes for "landlords". We had to move due to a job change and the market was so horrible in North Carolina we would have had to take a loss on our home. Instead we rented it out and thanks to Obama, now have to pay TAX on the rental money paid to us….not rental PROFIT, ALL RENT paid. Never mind that we are not making a cent on the deal – in fact when property taxes and homeowners insurance are factored in, we are losing $700 a month. The additional tax ON TOP of the rental "income" and personal loss just feels like he's pouring salt in the wound.
DeEllen, Arizona:
We are going to have to pay the fine because there is absolutely no way we can afford insurance for our whole family here. It is an extra $600 a month here. And who knows if what I have is even Obamacare compliant.
Sherry, Michigan:
My name is Sherry and I am a 27 year old Wife and Homeschooling mom of 2 from Michigan. Our family is at the peak of health, I work out, eat healthy and the last time I was hospitalized was in the 1st grade from an injury. My husband and children are both very healthy and at the peak of health as well.Because of the New Obamacare law, my husbands company will only be covering employees but not their children or spouses. That leaves myself and my two daughters to find care on our own. I went onto the Marketplace website and I was quoted 525 dollars with a 3,000 dollar deductiable to cover me and my girls. My husband through his work will be paying 240 dollars a month just for him with a 1500 dollar deductiable. We make a little less then 60K a year. Paying over 700 bucks a month to be covered is outrageous. Our Premiums from last year to this year have more then doubled! What makes me upset is My parents are both in their early 60s and both has battled cancer these past few years, have health problems up the wazoo are paying very close to what our family is paying. This is ridiclous and I hope people realize what a mistake Obamacare really it.
Jan, Idaho:
Keeping this short and sweet. I'm Jan, a female from Idaho. I live on my pension plus Social Security, which I started drawing this year at age 62. Been treated twice for cancer in the last five years. My current Blue Cross policy is not great, but it's what I could afford. It is not acceptable under the ACA, however and I'll be losing it just after the first of the year. Preliminary inquiries into another policy point toward a doubling of my annual deductible (from $5,000.00 a year to $10,000.00) and a more than $200.00 increase in my already-substantial monthly premium payments.
This increase is not something that I can afford. After my current coverage is deactivated in the next couple of months, I will be uninsured, for the first time in my life. I have accepted that fact, and come to terms with it. The ACA? I will not comply. I will pay the fine, instead.
Obamacare will be the death of me.
Julie, Washington:
We have been self employed since 2002 and have bought health insurance for us since then. Received notice from our insurance in Sept. that our policy does not meet the new ACA requirements and they have chosen another plan for us starting Jan. 1, 2014. Currently we pay for the both of us $539, with a $10,000 deductible. Our 'new' plan will have only a $5000 deductible but the monthly payment
for the both of us goes to $1095.12! We can not afford that. $500 is the max in our budget now. From what I have been able to see from the horrible website, we will probably have to go on Medicaid.
Christy, Alabama:
We own a small business. Actually, my husband runs an internet sales business. He used to own a small janitorial cleaning service. The economy of 2008 (and forward) kind of wiped that out…..after almost 20 good years. We purchase our health insurance from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama. We have to buy from them individually. Our premiums right now are $420/month. We just got our notice that we can't keep our plan, and if we want to get the plan that is closest to our old plan, it will cost us $1005/month. That is about the same as our mortgage. We need a new van for our growing family of 8. We would like to redo our kitchen. Neither of these are now an option. We will also have to dial back our spending every month. Imagine those decisions on a massive scale across America…… I can hear the crash already.
Laura, Utah:
My family's health insurance skyrocketed. Our health insurance is now $300 more than my mortgage! We are hanging on to our insurance. We will not support a socialist nation!
Melanie, California:
I got our new rates in the mail a few weeks ago, we pay for it ourselves, and found out that our monthly rates are going from $700 a month to $1000 a month for a family of 5. "Ok, that's not too bad, I guess. It sucks, but we will make it." Then I look closer at our coverage and start crying. I haven't cried for 7 years before this day. We have a $5000 deductible that we have to pay before the insurance will cover anything!!!!! This includes doctor visits and prescriptions! What is the monthly premium for if we still have to shell out all the money every time our kid gets pink eye? Maybe we should cancel our insurance and save our $1000 a month and pay the fine for not having insurance. Then at least we would be able to afford going to the doctor if we needed to, since we will pay for it either way. But wait, I have surgery scheduled in January. We are screwed, there is no way out. I hope the end of the world happens soon. I really do. Thanks for the opportunity to vent and express my sadness at what has happened to our once great country.
Tom, no state given:
I am a 58YO self employed person with a pre existing condition. Diabetic since age 14. Presently I am covered by a Wisconsin high risk pool (HIRSP) at a rate of $427.00 per month with a fairly decent prescription plan and a $5000.00 year deductible. This ceases to exist on 12/31/2913. Under Obama care a similar plan with a $4500.00 deductible and higher co pays on everything. I cannot afford it.
Marisa, California:
Here is my sad story. :( I have had Blue Shield for the last 3 years. Never missed a payment, only go to the doctor once maybe twice a year. Never have prescriptions. Perfectly happy with my insurance life. Then ObamaCare came into effect…Now my insurance company has dumped me as of January 2014. The only other insurance that is offered to me is Covered California. So I called them and for WORSE insurance coverage, my monthly payment is going to go from $149 to $283!!! For just me!! A healthy 31 year old!!!! So forget it, I am going to go on Medi-Share.
Jill, Texas:
I am a stay at home Mommy of 3 babies. My Husband's insurance that he has through his job covers our whole family, and it USED to be affordable. A couple weeks ago, they called a meeting at his job to let them know that we "will not be affected by Obamacare" and "will get to keep your existing insurance plan". Yet our deductibles went from $700 to $2,500… "In order to meet the new federal regulations", essentially making every doctor's visit or medical issue an out-of-pocket expense. So we have affordable Healthcare coverage, it just doesn't cover us.
Destiny, Oregon:
We've had benefits through my husband's employer (Wells Fargo) for the eight years we've been married. We've had two kids during that time, one under Bush's presidency, one under Obama's (this last April). The first baby cost us $200 in medical bills. The second baby cost us $8,000. Yep. Eight thousand dollars. In the last three years we have seen our deductible raise significantly (it's now at $6,000) and our premiums raise just as much. About $400 is taken out of my husband's check every two weeks, and we have to have six thousand dollars in medical bills before they pay for anything. It never used to be that way. When we got married, our deductible was $300 per person.
Susan, Colorado:
As a 40 year old diabetic, I've already been given my death panel details. After I spend $2500 on diabetic supplies, which usually occurs in the 1st quarter of the year, the death panel gets to decide whether I continue to live or whether I die a slow agonizing death.
I've lived in Australia under their socialist healthcare and while paying a huge tax (a 12 pack of coke is $35), this doesn't include the income tax they pay. Then they pay $120 for a doc visit, and then they are reimbursed by the govt about 1/2.
I'd still rather deal with an insurance company than have to deal with the govt!
Katie, no state given:
Our insurance premiums more than doubled and we could no longer afford to have me on it. I found out I ws pregnant shortly after we had to drop my coverage, leaving me uninsured.

In what states have you lived for at least six months? In what countries?
Florida, Alaska
Web site: www.carterforsenate.org
1. Why are you running for office? (Up to 100 words)
I am running for the U.S. Senate because I believe Alaska deserves an independent voice that represents all of the people and someone who has not sold their soul to get elected. I will represent all Alaskans; democrats, republicans, libertarians, independents and any other party in Alaska.
2. If elected, what are the three most important things you want to accomplish during your first/next term? (Please be specific.)
I want to represent all Alaskans and bring prosperity to our state as well as re-instill respect for our representatives.
I will work diligently with the other elected representatives and our president to open ANWR.
We need to have a state of the art airplane facility that will generate millions of dollars to our great state.
3. What specific changes, if any, will you propose or support for the Social Security system?
I will work hard ensure that Social Security will be sound and able to pay back the millions of Americans who have worked hard an paid into the system.
4. The Bush-era tax cuts are set to expire on Dec. 31. Which comes closest to your position:
• Congress should extend the tax cuts only for the middle class, not for the top 2 percent, that is, households earning $250,000 or more.
• Congress should extend the tax cuts for everyone, including the top 2 percent, that is, households earning $250,000 or more.
• Congress should not extend any of the ax cuts.
• Other (explain).
Congress should extend the tax cuts only for the middle class, not for the top 2 percent, that is, households earning $250,000 or more.
5. Should the U.S. tax code be simplified? Is it fair? What would you describe as its single worst flaw?
Yes, the tax code must be simplified because it is not fair. There are too many loopholes in the current code and it is too complex. A tax professional is needed to file most returns now due to the complexity of the tax code. The code must be simplified so that an average tax payer can file their own tax return.
6. Do you support congressional term limits? What limit would you propose?
I advocate three 2 year terms for the U.S. House and one six year term for the U.S. Senate. It should be a privilege to serve.
7. Do you support the current U.S. strategy in Afghanistan? What should the future United States role in Afghanistan be?
I do not support the current U.S. strategy in Afghanistan. We should strengthen our borders and refrain from getting in wars.
8. How good a job is the military and the Veterans Administration doing in providing ongoing care to soldiers and ex-soldiers who served in the war? What specifically would you do to improve services?
We can do better. We need to upgrade our hospitals and facilities for the soldiers and ex-soldiers who have served this country so honorably.
9. What is your position on the federal loan guarantees for an Alaska natural gas pipeline?
• Increase them
• Maintain them as they are
• Decrease them
• Eliminate them
Why? What specifically would you do to carry out your position if elected?
Increase them.
I would work with all State and Federal Officials to guarantee that we Alaskans have our gas line. This will increase state revenues by billions of dollars.
10. Do you support oil and gas development on the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge? If so, what specifically would do to make this happen? How would this be more effective than previous efforts?
This will be one of my primary goals as your senator. ANWR will give our great state billions of dollars in revenue that we can use to develop alternative energy solutions and sources that will grow and prosper for centuries.
11. Should the proposed Pebble mine in southwest Alaska be constructed? If you have any specific concerns about the project, what are they?
Pebble Mine should only be allowed to proceed if absolute guarantees are made (and substantiated as being possible) that absolutely no contamination will occur.
12. Should the federal government end affirmative action programs in the public sector? In the private sector?
We should end affirmative action in both the public and private sectors and level the playing field. Selection should be based solely on qualification and not for any other reason.
13. Do you believe the U.S. Constitution should be amended in any specific ways? Do you believe any existing amendments should be repealed? Explain.
Not at this time.
14. What is your position on the 8(a) federal contracting policy that many Alaska Native corporations have used to grow?
• Continue it as is
• Expand it
• Shrink it
• Eliminate it
Why? What specifically would you do to carry out your position if elected?
Eliminate it.
We should encourage Native Corporations to hire natives if at all possible and encourage these corporations to invest in Alaska.
15. Do you support federal funding for the Denali Commission, which funds water, sewer, energy and other public projects in rural Alaska?
• Increase funding
• Maintain funding at the FY 2010 level of $64 million
• Decrease funding
• Eliminate funding
Why? What specifically would you do to carry out your position if elected?
Increase funding.
Rural Alaskans live the truest Alaskan lifestyle and deserve all our support. I will work to create more jobs, help funding of rural loans to build private businesses and promote health and social improvements.
16. Is deficit spending by the federal government inherently bad in all circumstances? Under what circumstances would you support deficit spending by the federal government?
Deficit spending is only acceptable in those circumstances where they are necessary for the public good.
17. Name five large federal government programs you would eliminate within 10 years if you could.
(Candidate did not answer)
18. Do you believe the U.S. Constitution authorizes the collection of a federal income tax?
19. Are you satisfied with the level of federal environmental regulation and oversight of offshore oil and gas drilling and shipping to prevent a major spill in Alaska? If not, what do you want to see changed?
Yes, but the key to safe drilling is vigilant inspections and more federal enforcements of the standards we already have.
20. Rural Alaska communities continue to be hit by very high rates of unemployment, suicide, abuse and neglect. Is there anything you would do to address these issues? What specifically?
I would listen to the voice of the people of these rural communities and work with them to solve their problems. I would help them, not tell them what to do from Washington, D.C.
21. Should marriage be legally defined as between one man and one woman?
Yes, but for insurance and benefit purposes same sex couples should be recognized.
22. Should openly gay women and men be able to serve in the U.S. military?
Yes, but we don't ask Americans whether if they are Hispanic, African, Asian or European so why should we ask about sexual orientation.
23. State your position on abortion.
I believe in individual rights. Any American should have the right to bear firearms and any woman should have the right to determine the right choice for her body. This is a personal, social and spiritual decision which should not involve governments, either federal or state.
24. Do you believe abortions should be allowed in the case of rape or incest? What about when the life of the mother is at risk?
Yes, this is common sense. A woman should decide. This is a personal decision that should be made by the woman, not by a government far away in Washington.
25. What is your view on teaching creationism in public schools? Do you believe it should be part of the required state curriculum? How does it fit in with teaching evolution?
Yes, an intelligent society listens to all views and then forms their own opinion.
26. What should Congress or the federal government do, if anything, to help increase the supply of doctors in Alaska?
I believe the supply of doctors in Alaska should be administered by the state, not the federal government.
27. Do human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases play any significant part in global warming?
Yes, Anchorage just experienced the longest thirty-two days of rain.
28. Do you support enacting any laws or regulations to reduce human-caused greenhouse gas emissions as a way to moderate global warming? Explain.
Before laws or regulations are enacted we should study ways to regulate or reduce human caused green house gases.
29. How would you describe the core health care policy problem in the U.S.? Was the problem addressed, in whole or in part, by the health care reform legislation passed by Congress this year?
The problem was addressed only partially but the real problem is obesity by Americans and their lack of exercise. Again this is a personal problem so don't blame Washington.
30. Do you believe the health care reform legislation should be repealed? If it were to be repealed, what would you propose Congress do to improve access to affordable, quality health care for most or all Americans?
I have not read and very few people have read the complete legislation and before I made a decision I would read it.
31. Will you vote for federal legislation containing earmarks? Will you propose the inclusion of earmarks for Alaska in federal appropriations bills?
I oppose earmarks but if other states continue to use them, Alaska should get its fair share.
32. Is it appropriate to use the polar bear listing as a threatened species to limit oil and gas development in the Arctic or regulate distant greenhouse gas emissions? Are there other steps you think government and industry should take to protect Alaska's polar bear population?
It is not appropriate to use threatened species listings to limit oil and gas development in the Arctic. As I have stated before, I believe rights and that we in Alaska know best how to administer and protect our polar bear population.
33. Do you support the federal granting of ownership shares of Bering Sea commercial fisheries to western Alaska villages -- the CDQ program -- at the expense of private companies that work those fisheries?
I believe we should be fair to all Alaskans and private companies and encourage them to work together.
34. Would you:
• Expand the program to include more villages
• Expand the program by increasing the ownership shares of the villages
• Maintain the program as is, with the villages collectively getting a percentage of the pollock, crab ... commercial catches.• Shrink the program
• Eliminate the program
Expand the program to include more villages.
I believe that everyone should be given a fair chance to make a profit and improve their lives.
35. It has been difficult for Alaskans eligible for Medicare to find coverage because of a shortage of physicians willing to accept these patients under current benefit rules. Do you believe this is a problem? What specific steps would you take to improve the situation?
Time will tell if the current Health Care Reform will correct these deficiencies and all Alaskans will obtain the good health care they deserve.

Keyshia Cole - Next Time (Won't Give My Heart Away)
Artist: Keyshia Cole
Producer: Amadeus
Album: Point of No Return
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 3 votes )
Featured on our front page just yesterday, the first single off Keyshia Cole's sixth studio album found her threatening to "slap a b*tch like Rick James" in response to her partner's infidelity. One day later, the pop songstress's fury has largely subsided, giving way to the sad realization that "the love [they] had is gone." On single numero dos, Next Time (Won't Give My Heart Away), she ruefully shuts the door on the man in question, telling him, "I miss you but I can't, can't do this no more." As she struggles with the decision to walk away, producer Amadeus accompanies her behind the boards, backing her vocals with sharp snares and warm synth harmonies. Featuring this poignant jam and much more, Cole's next full-length currently lacks both a drop date and a title. Fans can, of course, keep it locked for the latest singles and release details.

POORE'S PICKS: Championship Weekend
Jim Poore is back with his Championship Playoff picks column against the spread. Baltimore or New…
|Physical game at Gillette Part Deux
Danny Woodhead scores vs Ravens
The AFC Championship game pits two familiar foes against one another for all the marbles. Patriots Insider blogger Shane Leketa is back with his take on the the big game.
You knew that it was bound to happen.
The Baltimore Ravens vs. the New England Patriots will face off Sunday in the confines of Gillette stadium for a rematch of last year's AFC Championship.
When there were two games left in the regular season, would you have pictured the Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots battling for a spot in the Super Bowl on championship weekend?
Most fans would have thought that the Houston Texans or the Denver Broncos would have been competing for the Super Bowl with the way that the season was playing out. But the football gods had something different in mind.
This almost seems like it was meant to happen when last year, the Baltimore Ravens were a 32-yard Billy Cundiff field goal attempt away from beating the Patriots and facing the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.
We can look at the stats overall in last year's championship game and see that the Patriots were beaten in almost all aspects of the game -- Passing yardage 282-234, Rushing yardage 116-96, Total plays 70-68, Time of possession 33:33-26:27 and Tom Brady threw for no touchdowns and 2 interceptions.
When push came to shove in the game, the Patriots squeaked into the Super Bowl on Cundiff''s kick -- normally a given –sailed wide left. . Was it fate? If one were to look at the overall game, it would be easy to say yes.
Fast-forward to 2013 and we are right back in the same venue with basically the same teams fighting on the gridiron for the title of AFC champion.
Last year's Patriots team was not much different personnel wise so; there is a lot of experience on the roster.
The Patriots top rusher in last year's showdown was BenJarvis Green-Ellis with Danny Woodhead coming in second. This year, New England will be depending on Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen and possibly Danny Woodhead.
The receiving corps was basically the same last year for the Patriots except for the huge hole created by the absence of Rob Gronkowski but with the addition of Brandon Lloyd. Gronk suffered a break in his forearm last week, landing him on I/R. In last year's conference championship game he had 5 receptions for 87 yards. There may also be a sleeper to consider in this year's matchup, Shane Vereen, who had against the Texans (124 total yards with 3 TDs).
There may be only a few differences on these two teams from last year but the intensity and passion will still be the same. The Ravens will head to Gillette with a huge chip on their shoulder, looking for revenge and inspired by the need tohelp Ray Lewis play one more game before he retires.
Baltimore's' Terrell Suggs and Ray Rice were emotionally spent last year when they lost the game and will be looking to make a major impact on the game on Sunday.
The Patriots also have revenge on their minds, after they lost to the Ravens 31-30 in week 3 in Baltimore.
This is what football is all about. The storylines, the drama and the intensity all coming to a head where the loser goes home and the winner gets a ticket to New Orleans for the big game in early February.
It will be a fun game to watch for the adjustments made during the game on both sides of the ball. Make no mistake about it, these teams know each other very well. Ravens head coach, John Harbarugh stated, "We've got a lot of tape of us playing each other. I'm sure those will be integral study games for both teams. But, teams evolve, teams change, and you've got to take that into account as well."
Bill Belichick has plenty of game film on the Ravens to build a gameplan. Certainly the secondary will prepare for downfield passes to Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith. The addition of Aqib Talib should make a difference this time.
Some football fanatics might have wanted to see a rematch of Brady vs. Manning but, this fan was hoping the Patriots would meet up with their AFC rivals in Gillette. I should be a game of epic proportions.
Special teams captain, Matthew Slater said it best, "We do know that they are a tough football team<" Slater told reporters. "They know how to play us well. They compete and play the game the right way. That's why they've had so much success over the past several years and it's been no different against us. They've played us well every time we've played them, so we expect it to be the same kind of game this week."
Game on folks.
