171. Lightning Lloyd Seay
How Carl D "Lightning Lloyd" Seay, "Reckless Roy" Hall, and Raymond Parks were related is unknown, although they called each other "cousins." After Parks was released from prison, in 1937, he left whiskey tripping to younger drivers, usually trusted members of his extended family.
By all accounts, Lloyd Seay was the most talented. Like Parks, Seay came from a dirt-poor, domestically challenged home. Most who knew him described him as a polite, reserved man with a sense of humor, until he got behind the wheel. One revenooer called Seay the best driver of his time, claiming he'd caught the young man eight times, and had to shoot Seay's tires every time to slow him down. A sheriff told the story of stopping Seay for speeding. Seay handed the constable a twenty-dollar bill, and the sheriff explained the fine was only ten bucks. Seay said he was paying for the return trip in advance. "Maybe you could let me go on through?"
At the time, moonshine drivers and others with "Fast Fords" would gather Sunday afternoons for local speed fests, sometimes at the county fairgrounds, or, perhaps, some farmer's field. Most races were run for bragging rights. Seay tired of always beating the locals and asked Parks to take his racecar to a bigger stage.
In 1938, Red Vogt wrenched Floyd Roberts' winning car in the Indianapolis 500, and Bill France first promoted a stock car race at Daytona Beach. It was also the start of Parks' career as a racecar owner. Lakewood Speedway, "Dixie's greatest track," was a converted one-mile horse track outside Atlanta. To celebrate the anniversary of Armistice Day, a 150-mile "stock car" race was scheduled. Before the race started, several protests were filed, complaining that some of the entries weren't "strictly stock." The protests were dismissed by Red Vogt, the race's technical director, the same man who probably modified them in the first place.
Somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 fans showed up hours early for the event, and promoters had to schedule exhibitions and other entertainment. Seay and Roy Hall were entered, driving Vogt-prepared, Parks-owned '34 Fords. Seay drove with a broken arm, claiming one hand was all he'd need. Also entered were Bill France and Red Byron in his first big race, in a field of thirty cars.
At 2 pm, the wrecking commenced. In one incident, Ernest Bush flipped in the 1st turn, and the crash started a fire. Crews sprinted to pull Bush from the fire, just before the gas tank exploded. Atlanta whiskey tripper Harley Taylor led the first seventy miles, until his steering failed. Most of the cars broke or wrecked. When dusk arrived, the promoters called the race, fifteen miles early.
Seay was declared the winner and awarded the $100 prize and the title of "world's stock car auto race champion." "Chief Ride in the Storm" was credited with 2nd. The official results listed France 4th and Byron 5th. Byron protested, claiming he'd lapped Seay during his opponent's stops for tires. Since there were no written records, any protests were quickly dismissed.
Seay's Ford
For the next few years, the Parks team toured stock car races throughout the country, but Hall, not Seay, became the star. Reckless Roy had only one speed: He wrecked or won. Patient and confident, Seay maintained his pace, waiting for races to come back to him. Vogt's impeccably prepared cars meant Hall usually won, even if he abused them. Enjoying the team's success, but jealous of his cousin's victories, Seay began to race more boldly, driving through curves on two wheels, sometimes rolling the car.
Seay probably raced Daytona a dozen times in the next few years, without success. In 1941, he won at Allentown PA, High Point NC, Greensboro NC, and finally, on 24 August, at Daytona Beach, leading every lap and setting a course record. "It's about time I won here." On Labor Day, he took the Lakewood race, besting Bob Flock.
The next morning, another of Seay's cousins, Woodrow Anderson, shot Seay in the heart, and Seay's brother, Jim, in the neck, in a dispute over $120 worth of sugar, used to make moonshine whiskey.

Walter Guyton Cady became interested in quartz crystals during World War I. Along with many other scientists at the time, Cady was involved in the effort to develop a way to detect enemy submarines by transmitting sound underwater. Although his work was not completed before the end of the war, it did lay the basis for the eventual development of sonar.
Cady discovered that a quartz crystal connected to a variable-frequency electronic oscillator would vibrate strongly at a very specific frequency, but that at other frequencies it would not vibrate at all. In this way, the quartz crystal resonator actually controlled the frequency of the oscillating circuit. Cady quickly realized that this circuit could be used as a frequency standard. In 1921 Cady and his colleagues at Wesleyan made the first quartz crystal resonator.
Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Cady (1874-1973) did both his undergraduate and master's work at Brown University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Berlin in Germany in 1900, and was professor of physics at Wesleyan University from 1902 to 1946. He received many honors and awards during his lifetime and held more than 50 patents.

Last night I watched sportscaster Erin Andrews' Super Bowl coverage with particular interestnot only because the game was pretty boring and Andrews is captivating on camerabut also because I knew it was her first time covering the big game. And I knew that, given the attention she received as the woman holding the mic during Seattle Seahawk Richard Shermans rant heard round the Internet, all eyes were on her. Well, on her and the game.
Andrews certainly held her own. After the Broncos suffered a crushing defeat, Andrews had no qualms about asking coach John Fox point blank, What happened? Of course, she looked great, too, in a plum-colored, belted Burberry parka and an unmissable David Yurman ring.

Chandler Councilwoman Trinity Donovan walked into the grocery store last week with $29 in her purse and a feeling of uncertainty in her mind.
It was the only money she had for a week's worth of food, so Donovon, a vegetarian, had to choose carefully. She wanted to buy a large container of yogurt for protein, but it would cost her too much. And she hoped for some juice and snacks, but again realized she could not afford them.
In the end, she settled on some water, rice, dried pinto beans, pasta, oatmeal, peanut butter, a small block of cheese and some fresh fruits and vegetables to get her through the week.
For Donovan, who is the CEO of Chandler Christian Community Center, the recent experience was just an exercise, but for more than 1 million Arizonans, it's a reality.
The exercise, called the SNAP Experience, began Sept. 3 and ends Sept. 9, and is organized by the non-profit Arizona Community Action Association. The exercise encourages politicians, non-profit groups and the community to attempt to eat for $4.14 cents per day — the average amount a single person on food stamps receives. SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and is the name now used in place of food stamps.
"We want people to experience what it might be like to live hungry for a week, and be able to identify some of the barriers and issues that people of low income have to face in their reality for an extended period of time," said Arizona Community Action Association Outreach and Community Development Manager Angela Schultz.
About 140 people statewide participated in the SNAP Experience, including Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton and State Rep. Juan Mendez, D-Tempe. [**]
For Mendez, the experience was a reminder of what his family went through growing up with a single mother and four children in his home.
"I grew up on food stamps, so I know what it's like to live in a family that depends on that kind of supplement just to cover the necessary food budget for a month," Mendez said. "Now that I have this voice and this platform, I'm going to be working on legislation that highlights what families are going through."
Mendez said the hardest part of the exercise for him was that to save money he had to follow a more planned out meal schedule. He also missed his morning cup of coffee.
Mendez said the experience was a good reminder, but still not nearly as difficult as life is for those living in poverty, who often must rely on public transportation and don't always have easy access to grocery stores.
"There are many parts of the Valley that are food deserts," Mendez said.
A food desert is a geographic area where residents have limited or no access to fresh and healthy food options due to the absence of grocery stores within a convenient distance, according to the non-profit Food Empowerment Project.
Schultz said this is the fourth year the Arizona Community Action Association has held the SNAP Experience, but this year it was especially important to raise awareness.
On Nov. 1, the 2009 Recovery Act's temporary increase to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits is scheduled to end, meaning that on average, a family of three will see their benefits reduced by $29 per month, Schultz said. On the national level, there are talks of cutting SNAP benefits as well, although a bill has not been introduced.
"We are trying to get the information out to help families know that this is coming," Schulz said, "because they budget their food money based on what their SNAP budget is."
Since SNAP benefits are often not enough to cover a family's food needs, Donovan said her organization often fills the gap by providing monthly food boxes and weekly fresh food, which is donated from restaurants and businesses. Last year, Chandler Christian Community Center distributed about 16,000 boxes to 10,000 people.
Donovan said the food boxes are healthy and nutritionally balanced, which Mendez said is important, because people don't always know how to make good food choices.
"If kids are not eating right, there are going to be things that will complicate their life later on," Mendez said. "I have family members with health problems directly tied to the fact that we did not know what we are eating."
Schultz said the national obesity epidemic is changing the way hunger looks.
"You think of really thin people who are starving, but what we're seeing is you can buy Doritos and Coke and buy empty calories that are going to fill you up and be empty calories," Schultz said. "If people look like they're well fed, it's because they're eating high-calorie, low-nutrient foods."

**Correction [Sept. 10, 2013; 11:10 a.m.]: Due to an editing error, the original version of this story incorrectly labeled the political party affiliation of Arizona State Rep. Juan Mendez. Mendez is a Democrat from Tempe. The Tribune regrets the error.

Josh Groban's 2001 debut sold nearly 4 million copies in the U.S. -- while never getting above No. 8 on the sales chart. There won't be any such asterisk next to the tally for the operatic singer's sophomore disc, Closer. Just a month ago, it was a lowly No. 42, but this week it unexpectedly soared from No. 11 to No. 1 on sales of 111,000 units. The upsurge occurred despite a lack of major media appearances...though Groban might enjoy another spike after he sings ''You Raise Me Up'' on the pre -- Super Bowl telecast. Last week's toppers, OutKast, fell to third but remained in the three-figure range (102K) with their twofer.

No Props—No Problem
For those moments when you have plenty of time and space, but absolutely no equipment, here are four activities to help create something wonderful.
The Invisible Obstacle Course
This warm-up activity is half-creativity and half-physical fitness. Each small group creates an imaginary obstacle course, with group members crawling, jumping, running, and helping each other through the obstacles they encounter. A volunteer in each group begins the activity.
After each element, leadership changes, and another member describes an obstacle, and then helps the other members navigate over, under, through, or around it. In the process, a variety of obstacles can be encountered (e.g., climbing a giant marshmallow mountain), creativity and leadership are explored, and most importantly the group is warmed up, energized, and ready for the day.
The Trust Drive
While there are many trust-building techniques, this activity is one of the best.
Begin with partners of similar heights in an open space with no obstacles, with one partner standing behind the other, both facing forward. The front "driver" holds onto an imaginary steering wheel and closes his or her eyes. With eyes open, the "backseat driver" places his or her hands on the driver's shoulders and says, "I've got your back."
The front driver controls the speed, while the rear driver provides information and direction (like a human GPS system), avoiding collisions with other drivers and fixed objects.
After a few minutes, the front driver opens his or her eyes and provides the following feedback to the backseat driver:
- What was good about the technique?
- What could be done even better?
Next, the two participants exchange roles, after which another feedback session is provided.
This is an excellent activity to begin a more in-depth trust sequence. Be sure to have plenty of supervision and a safe, level, open space. Use this activity to "diagnose" the readiness of a group to explore activities that require an even higher level of trust and commitment. If there are a few "fender-benders" or collisions, a group may require additional work before it is prepared to move on. If participants exhibit caution and care and do not cause any accidents, a group is probably ready to proceed to another activity.
High energy, great theatrics, and quick play make this a permanent part of my personal top-ten activities!
Wah is a game of the ancient samurai (well, probably not, but it is fun to frame it that way!). So, when you say, 'Wah!' you can't say it with a New York accent, but say it like a samurai, 'WAH!' There are three basic movements to this game.
Begin with multiple circles of about eight people in "Wah position"—feet slightly spread (like the capital letter A), hands together, pointing forward. In each circle, one person volunteers to begin the game by gaining eye contact with another person, pointing to him or her with both hands, and yelling "Wah!"
The second person now raises both hands straight up over his or her head, and says "Wah!" The third and final move involves two people standing on each side of person two, and making non-contact lumberjack chopping motions towards that person, and also shouting "Wah!" If each person completes the task and says 'Wah!' with gusto and on time, the game continues. But if anyone is early or late in the performance or just messes up, that person is "out" of the game. The good news, however, is that person is not permanently out.

You've heard of ''Cop Rock''? Well, get ready for ''Con Rock.'' That's right, the ballsy HBO prison drama ''Oz'' is doing a musical episode. ''I got this call asking me, 'Would you sing a song?' and I said, 'What the hell are you talking about?''' remembers Rita Moreno, whose character, Sister Peter Marie Reimondo, opens the show by crooning Janis Ian's ''Days Like These.'' ''Then they told me the idea, and I just flipped.''
The idea for the extravaganza, entitled ''Variety'' (premiering Feb. 10), came about because Harold Perrineau, who usually narrates the series as inmate Augustus Hill, needed to take an episode off to film a part in the ''Matrix'' sequels. So creator Tom Fontana decided to replace his segments with musical-fantasy interludes expressing the innermost feelings of various denizens of Oswald State Correctional Facility. Thus, biker Jaz Hoyt (Evan Seinfeld) growls Todd Rundgren's ''No World Order,'' and Father Ray Mukada (B.D. Wong) reveals a kinky side with a suggestive rendition of Tori Amos' ''Leather.'' The unquestionable high note, however, is ''The Last Duet,'' a kitschy disco artifact originally recorded by Barry Manilow and Lily Tomlin and re-created by the eternally beleaguered Tobias Beecher (Lee Tergesen) and his white-supremacist tormentor Vern Schillinger (J.K. Simmons). ''I was Barry, of course,'' Simmons says. ''My bee-yotch was singing Lily's part.''
Music supervisor Chris Tergesen (Lee's older brother) was charged with finding the tunes to suit each character. ''The great thing about this show is everybody's on board for everything,'' he says. ''Obviously, there's some edgy stuff coming off those script pages, and pretty much to a person, everybody we asked to sing was like, 'Okay, let's roll the dice.''' The odds of success were increased by the performers' musical backgrounds, ranging from Moreno's Oscar-winning role in ''West Side Story'' to Seinfeld's full-time gig as lead singer of the heavy metal band Biohazard.
After shooting ''Variety'' last summer, Fontana found out that ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' was planning its own showstopper of an episode, which aired in November. ''I was like, 'Oh, f---, we're gonna look like the second guys in,''' he says. ''But ours is so different than theirs that I don't think it's really gonna hurt.'' And even though musical numbers permeate such other shows as Fox's ''Ally McBeal'' and Julia Louis-Dreyfus' upcoming NBC lounge-singer comedy, ''Watching Ellie,'' don't accuse Fontana of jumping on the bandwagon: ''I would hate to think it's a trend,'' he says. ''I guess we're all getting in touch with our inner Broadway diva.''

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Olympus and Tool Factory have announced 43 new grant programs for educators being operated through a site called "Digital Wish." The site is a registry that allows teachers to make technology wishes available online so that donors can read about their needs and make donations to help fulfill their wishes. Those who register for the registry qualify for the 43 new technology grants from Olympus and Tool Factory, which include, among other things, a mobile digital camera lab.
According to Tool Factory, the Digital Wish site allows educators to "tell their story," in addition to stating needs. The company said that those who provide the best class profile and lesson plans will be selected for the 43 grants. Those who are not selected will still be able to remain on the Digital Wish site so that potential donors will be able to access their information.
The site requires a one-time registration. Following that, each month, Olympus and Tool Factory will award digital cameras and podcasting software. Three digital camera labs, valued at $3,500, will also be awarded annually. Software site licenses will be given away "in all core subject areas and special education," according to Tool Factory.
Criteria for winning include:

text: Vettel: I am not on Facebook or Twitter 6 October, 2011 Sebastian Vettel arrivesin the Suzuka paddock Oct.6 (GMM) World champion Sebastian Vettel has dealt a blow to his thousands of fans on social media sites Twitter and Facebook. Vettel told Bild newspaper: "It's not me. I am not on Facebook or Twitter. "I prefer to have personal contact with the fans, for example in the autograph signings." The report said there are more than a dozen apparently 'official' Facebook and Twitter profiles for the 24-year-old Red Bull driver, the most with almost 600,000 fans. Bild added that Vettel is bidding to have the fake accounts removed. The fraudulent profiles could explain a rumour earlier this week that Vettel has bought a mansion in his hometown Heppenheim for $2-million. "I looked at the house but didn't buy it," said the German, who lives in Switzerland. Tweet Stewy33 I also hate face book and twitter; both of these companies are turning people into texting zombies! Maybe I will be okay with them if a new law is posted saying: If a person is texting and walks out in front of your car and you kill them, that it is the texting persons fault and it would be considered unintentional suicide. Then the insurnace company would pay the driver of crap load of money for the innconveince the texting person has caused. Rick Spot on stewy!! Fb and twitter are a mindless and utterly boring waste of one's time. There are plenty of better things to do in life than stare at a screen and either moan about crap or read about others moaning about crap Charlie White I have not facebook or twitter, they are stupid things and you have no personal live with facebook. I am happy to know Vettel doesn't have them and Stewy. I hope some day the people understand that to have a private life you have forget put everything in internet. le muse prive fine art galery Fine art gallery red bull art for sale on artprice

The staff was great and helpful.
Our room had only one chair for 2 adults staying there, no table, I had to get a chair out of the dining area to sit on in the room. Mold in the bathroom on the ceiling.No bread to make toast for breakfast. The phone in the room wasn't hooked up, so my daughter couldn't call the room to check on us.
Very nice staff, very convenient with the airport shuttle.
The hotel is older and needs some updates.
Your staff was very friendly ! We stayed one night for my daughters miss Portland teen peagent on Sunday , your staff went out off there way to make sure we had everything we needed ! By the way my daughter Meghan ended up winning the peagent and taking the title of miss Portland teen 2014, she will be competing in July of 2015 in orlando Florida ! Thank you and your staff again for the wonderful help they gave us Mavis Peterson
Everything was very good !!!
The front desk staff was very friendly. Convenient location. Waffles were nice to have for breakfast.
There was no bread available for breakfast but there were jellies and butter. The layout of everything seemed very disorganized, for example, the waffle maker and juice dispenser was located in the lobby. My packaged muffin had an expired date of a month old. The room thermostat was very flimsy and old, the turn knob just comes off, I was afraid to turn on the heat, needs repair of being a fire hazard. I did smell cigarette smoke as I entered the non smoking room, wondering how the smell got in. The housekeeping staff were a bit annoying knocking at your door early in the morning to clean the room and vacuuming the hallway. I should have stayed at the Best Western, but always had luck with Shilo Inns in the past.
The staff was extremely kind and friendly. Everything about our stay was perfect.
When my daughter and I checked in the clerk was helpful and gave us a lower rate since my daughter attends George Fox University. He didn't have to tell us - and it made more work for him to change our rate - but he did it with a smile. He obviously cares about his customers! The room was nice and quiet and I slept well.
Would be nice if breakfast went a little later.
The staff was so friendly esp. the staff name Fabian. He made us felt very welcome.
The Inn can be upgraded a little.
While the selection is typically limited, i did think the biscuits and gravy was an added treat. Thank you.
The dining area did not adequate electric power to have the waffle maker and juice dispenser located there...it was in he lobby. Very inconvenient. What ever an electrician my charge to bring more power to the dining room would pay big dividends to the guests. satsifaction.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The 2 used bars or soap in the shower. :/
Great comfortable bed.
night shift staff seemed to let friends have access to a room, kind of shady. Our room was not cleaned or tidy when we came back from a full day of play. No clean towels, bed was not made, trash wasn't taken out. When discussed with front desk staff nothing was done.
We loved the facilities, the pool, access to the rooms, the complimentary breakfast, location and the professionalism of the staff. When I asked what was around (restaurants) to eat, Fabian offered to find the number to the local pizza joints for me. I was very impressed!
I can honestly say there wasn't anything I can complain about. Our stay was wonderful from the easy check-in to the easy check-out.
The room was large and comfortable.
We were frequently unable to connect to the wi-fi.
Angie at the front desk was very helpful.
Not enough light in the room. It was quite dark.
When we were checking in, the front desk was busy with checking in a large wedding party. He checked in with us several times to be sure we were okay while we waited. He made sure that we were in a room that was away from the small children that was part of the wedding party so we had a very quiet and rest full night!
The staff was excellent and very accommodating
It was convenient to stay just 15 minutes from the family we visited. Enjoyed the many choices for breakfast. AC worked fine. Appreciated getting emailed response with list of nearby florists ahead of our arrival. Nice to have access to the computer and printer to print boarding pass and look up local sites, do email. Front desk staff was friendly, helpful.
Bedspread was torn; carpet had a big worn/bare area in front of bathroom door; windows needed washing. Breakfast items were scattered over too large of an area in the big eating room.
The beds were extremely comfortable and the room was very spacious, perfect for two teenage boys to get away from each other. We enjoyed the pool, the jacuzzi and the exercise room. Everyone was very friendly and Jordan was a great help recommending a restaurant for dinner.
No complaints
VERY limited number of channels to watch and even those to pay for were not worth the added cost. This made entertaing kids in the am and pm difficult
Friendly, small-town service Quiet
Overpriced Water pools in the bathtub
It was located close to the wine country. We were attending a wedding at one of the wineries and Shiloh Inn was conveniently located. Beautiful area, we look forward to visiting again.
Nice large Room! Staff was friendly and helpful.
Not many tv channels available; the selection was too limited as with many hotels that offer movies.
The room air coundionor did not work it was alful hot and when I arrived. Too ck in I was told I had to pay a 50 deposit and I ask why because u are paying with cash I said no where was I told this then she gave me two differnt prices and toilet was dirty . I also asked too have a peanut free room for my daughter they didn't hardley wipe things down
I hated it all
We chose not to stay because the place was dirty. Also, I had a very uneasy feeling about the man who greeted us. We chose to find another room for the night.
Hotel and room were clean, beds were comfortable. Excellent value for. the money. Staff was friendly and helpful. Convenience of having a computer available to print boarding passes.
Small swimming pool. Continental breakfast was limited.

Following the Supreme Court's decision this summer on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the nation's governors and state leaders face the choice to participate or opt out of the Medicaid expansion. Currently, twelve states have decided to participate in the expansion, seven states have decided to opt out, and the remaining states have yet to announce their participation status. As state officials move forward with selecting an approach, a November 30 briefing examined the economic impact of expanding Medicaid to 138 percent of the federal poverty level.
What will be the financial impact on states that expand their Medicaid programs? What role will the federal government play in financing the expansion? What will the expansion mean for providers on the ground level? If states don't go forward with the expansion, what will it mean for the safety net population?
A distinguished panel of experts addressed these and related questions.
John Holahan, director of the Health Policy Center at the Urban Institute, and who has decades of experience analyzing Medicaid and state health policy, discussed his updated report on the Medicaid expansion and costs to states.
Krista Drobac, director of the health division at the National Governors Association highlighted the status of states on the expansion and discussed what's under consideration as states move forward.
James Keeton, vice chancellor for health affairs and dean of the School of Medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, assessed what the expansion would mean at ground level from a provider's perspective.
Deborah Bachrach, special counsel at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, and former Medicaid director and deputy commissioner of health for New York, discussed how various states are assessing the fiscal implications of the Medicaid expansion and also described New York's approach to its expansion options.
Ed Howard of the Alliance and Diane Rowland of Kaiser moderated the discussion.
The event was sponsored by the nonpartisan Alliance for Health Reform and the Kaiser Family Foundation.

A new Alliance for Health Reform video features Sister Carol Keehan of the Catholic Health Association of the United States addressing the challenges of quickly enrolling millions of Americans for health insurance this fall. Open season begins October 1 of this year, yet she says that up to 85 percent of those who will be newly eligible for Medicaid or for subsidies to buy private insurance in state-based exchanges don't know it. FULL TRANSCRIPT
Video (3:11)A new Alliance for Health Reform video features Douglas Holtz-Eakin of the American Action Forum, and a former director of the Congressional Budget Office, arguing that recent slower spending growth in health care won't continue."We also saw a slowdown in the mid-90s, and we all declared victory and it came right back. I think next year we'll see a noticeable uptick. There will be lots of new people entering the insurance markets because of the exchanges and the subsidies that come along with them, and those subsidies are very generous. … These are an invitation for people to get coverage and to buy more health care. I think that'll place a lot of pressure on spending."FULL TRANSCRIPT
Beginning October 1, insurance marketplaces open for enrollment, and millions of people will be eligible to purchase plans. To guide them in the application process, the federal government has invested in programs to train community organizations and hired staff.
The Toolkit, available here, details the ACA's employer requirements and penalty. It also includes information about the delay in the mandate to 2015, and analysis about its impact on employer-based coverage.

Northwestern coach Bill Carmody is the focus before tipoff
BY TINA AKOURIS email@example.com March 12, 2012 10:14PM
Northwestern head coach Bill Carmody talks to his players in the first half against Illinois at Welsh-Ryan Arena Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011, in Evanston. | John J. Kim~Sun-Times
Akron at Northwestern
The facts: 8, ESPN2, 560-AM.
Updated: April 14, 2012 8:15AM
A day after Northwestern came up short in its 73rd attempt to earn an NCAA tournament bid, the Wildcats find themselves preparing for the National Invitation Tournament and a first-round game against Akron.
The Zips (22-11) visit Welsh-Ryan Arena on Tuesday. The winner will advance to the second round and play top-seeded Washington or Texas-Arlington.
But coach Bill Carmody's fate can't be ignored. If the Wildcats (18-13) lose, athletic director Jim Phillips will have to evaluate Carmody sooner rather than later. Phillips' policy is to wait until the end of the season to evaluate all his coaches.
And Carmody, who has a year left on his contract, said he hopes he won't have that meeting any time soon.
"I'll sit down with my staff and with Jim Phillips, and we'll just look at everything and see what we can do from a scheduling standpoint that would help us," Carmody said. "We talk at the end of the year, and I hope it's not for a couple of weeks."
The semifinals and finals of the NIT are March 27 and 29 at Madison Square Garden.
The Wildcats are the No. 4 seed, and Akron is a No. 5. Carmody was hoping for a higher seed.
"I was surprised," Carmody said. "I don't know; I thought we were a higher seed than that. I thought we were at least a 2-seed."
This is the fourth consecutive season the Wildcats have made the NIT. Last season was the farthest the program has gone in the postseason, losing in the quarterfinals at Washington State in overtime.
What has been a knock on NU in the past — and what could have hindered its hopes of an NCAA bid this season — is a weak nonconference schedule. Looking ahead to next season already, Carmody said he's optimistic about whom the Wildcats have lined up. Stanford and Baylor are on the docket for next season.
"We are going to have to look at everything," Carmody said. "Bad losses didn't seem to hurt teams, and some had some really bad losses, but they were in December, and it didn't seem to matter as much. We will definitely look at all aspects of the schedule."
Carmody also said center Luka Mirkovic will miss the NIT with an ankle injury. The injury has sidelined Mirkovic since Jan. 28, and he has missed 12 games.

I am fairly new to preserving and wanting to grow our own food, preserve it, and be more nutritionally conscious. Anticipating retirement in about a year which will give me more time to pursue these interests. I purchased this book to learn step-by-step what to do to preserve homemade "chunky" applesauce (grandma's recipe). The book was a tremendous help. Easy instructions to follow, very clear and exact. I am very happy with this purchase!
This is a wonderful resource, being a new 'canner' I have lots of questions along the way. Between the bloggers and recipes online and this resource, I've built my confidence with canning fruits and tomatoes in just a few short months.
My only comment is why on earth you sent the book in that huge box instead of a manilla envelope or bubble mailer?
Have only skimmed book. However, I have an old copy of the Blue Book which I have used numerous times. Thank you.
I ordered the canning book because I am just thinking about canning maybe next year I know nothing about it and the Ball book is great lots of tips and important info. So it will get studied over the winter, thanks for a great product. BEM

Linux on Windows
Linux on Windows refers to running the Linux open source operating system or native Linux applications on Windows computers.
There are two general options for running Linux on Windows. One option is running Linux in a virtualized environment, while a second option is to run a version of the Linux kernel that has been ported to run on Windows. An example of the latter is andLinux, which uses the Cooperative Linux (coLinux) port of the Linux kernel to enable andLinux to freely run on Windows.

Pirate Party Wins First Direct National Elections, in Iceland
Update: Pirate Bay's moved yet again! TorrentFreak reports today that when Swedish prosecutors moved to seize Pirate Bay's Swedish (.SE) and Icelandic (.IS) domains, Pirate Bay swiftly migrated its virtual home to Sint Maarten, proprietor of the .SX top-level domain. Sint Maarten, a constituent country of the Netherlands, comprises the southern half of the Caribbean island Saint Martin.
The Pirate Party, an Internet libertarian group, has been on the political map for a while, particularly in Europe. It has gained seats in state legislatures (in Germany) and, through a coalition, a senate seat in a national legislature (in the Czech Republic). It now claims its first national, directly elected representative, in the Icelandic parliament.
It's been an especially big month for the piracy minded in Iceland. Last week, Iceland became the virtual home of file-sharing promoter Pirate Bay. Pirate Bay, no longer welcome in its home country of Sweden, had briefly moved its site from a Swedish domain (.SE) to Greenland-based domain (.GL). Greenland's domain name host, however, quickly booted Pirate Bay, so it moved again, to Iceland (.IS). It seems to have found a more hospitable home there, at least for the moment. TorrentFreak reported last week that Iceland's top-level domain name registrar had no plans to kick out Pirate Bay.
What does the Pirate Party's parliamentary victory mean? Leo Mirani at Quartz, a business news site, thinks it means the Pirate Party will need to grow up:
…the Pirate Party will need to refine its ideology and find a balance between the ideal vision of online freedom it espouses and the unsavoury activities and people it can easily find itself associated with. That is a tricky line to walk, especially since it can't pick its supporters and members.
We'll see.
Along Publishers Row
by Campbell Geeslin
The novel's hero is Harry Handsome. In the next book by the same author, Harry's brother Ted is the main man. In the third, their cousin, an orphan who lived with the family, becomes sheriff. Each novel sells more copies than the previous one.
In genre publishing, the connected series has become a popular route to big success. Novels with characters that reappear in a series (or books linked by a single community) have caught on with fans of Debbie Macomber, author of the Dakota series. PW credits her with inventing this approach.
Others who have been successful with linked novels are Sherryl Woods (Trinity Harbor series), Susan Wiggs (Calhoun Chronicles) and Susan Mallery (Buchanan series).
PW reported that Robyn Carr (Virgin River series) took the connected novels route to success. Her latest, The Wanderer, sold 48,000 copies in its first week to become a No. 1 bestseller.
FETE: The Harvard University Press is celebrating 100 years of publishing. It began in 1913 and is in the process of converting 10,000 titles into digital format.
The press's first bestseller was Eudora Welty's One Writer's Beginnings in 1984.
I opened my treasured copy of Welty's memoir to see how well I remembered the last paragraph:
"As you have seen, I am a writer who came of a sheltered life. A sheltered life can be a daring life as well. For all serious daring starts from within."
Fair Use Ruling: Artist Sufficiently Transformed 25 of 30 Photos
On Thursday, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a trial court's decision, ruling that an artist's uses of 25 copyrighted photographs were sufficiently transformative to be protected by copyright's fair use defense. The court was uncertain, however, whether the artist's uses of five other photographs should be considered adequately transformative to trigger the defense. The court's opinion, Cariou v. Prince, is available here.
The artist, Richard Prince, had copied the work of photographer Patrick Cariou, who had taken the photographs over a six-year period in Jamaica. Cariou had published the collection in a book, "Yes Rasta," in 2000.
Prince used 30 photos from Cariou's book in creating "Canal Zone," a series of large-scale works exhibited at galleries in St. Barth's and New York City in 2007 and 2008. Prince's modifications to the black-and-white photos varied, but included enlarging the images, adding acrylic paint, pasting on new elements, tinting them, and using them in collages. According to the court, some of Prince's works exhibited at the galleries almost entirely obscure Cariou's original photographs. In others, Cariou's original images are still readily apparent.
The court found that 25 of Prince's works "manifest an entirely different aesthetic from Cariou's photographs":
Where Cariou's serene and deliberately composed portraits and landscape photographs depict the natural beauty of Rastafarians and their surrounding environs, Prince's crude and jarring works, on the other hand, are hectic and provocative. Cariou's black-and-white photographs were printed in a 9 1/2″ x 12″ book. Prince has created collages on canvas that incorporate color, feature distorted human and other forms and settings, and measure between ten and nearly a hundred times the size of the photographs.
The court cautioned, however, that not all "cosmetic changes to the photographs would necessarily constitute fair use. A secondary work may modify the original without being transformative." As an example, the court cited its 1998 ruling that a book providing synopses of Seinfeld television episodes infringed the original shows' copyrights, since the book simply repackaged the episodes' content in a new form.
The appellate court was uncertain whether Prince's modifications were merely cosmetic for five of the thirty works. The court remanded the case to the trial court to determine whether those "relatively minimal alterations" were sufficiently transformative to be deemed fair uses of Cariou's photographs.
