The Center for Economic Development and Business Research at Wichita State University invited Robert St. Peter — president and CEO of the Kansas Health Institute — to present at its annual conference on the economic outlook for the healthcare industry.
NPR recently interviewed KHI President and CEO Robert St. Peter for stories airing this week on the Affordable Care Act. As he explains, under the new federal health reform law, insurers can only set prices for an individual's insurance based on three things: age and smoking, and where you live.
As of October 1, 2013, there are many new options for Kansans to consider when purchasing health insurance. This report provides information detailing the cost of various health insurance plans available by premium rating areas across the state.
After more than three years of preparation and debate, the health insurance marketplace created by the Affordable Care Act opened this week in Kansas for enrollment in coverage starting as early as Jan. 1. While the initial rollout is likely to experience technical challenges and limited online functionality, the plans available and the prices for coverage in the marketplace are described in this brief.
This report examines the sources of health insurance for Kansans and details the demographic characteristics of uninsured Kansans.
To maintain the credibility of both the News Service and our policy analysis and research, we've worked hard to keep the two functions separate. The News Service truly operates as an editorially independent program. By the same token, members of the News Service staff aren't involved in discussions about the many policy and research projects KHI is involved in, including those we undertake in partnerships with state agencies and others.
In testimony to the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee, KHI discusses a planned health impact assessment of casino development in Southeast Kansas.
In testimony to a joint meeting of the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee and House Health and Human Services Committee, KHI discusses the Kansas Partnership for Improving Community Health and the new KansasHealthMatters.org website.
In testimony to the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee, Robert F. St. Peter, M.D., discussed the determinants of health, the distribution of health care dollars, and the role of the public health system.
About 89 percent of Kansans have health insurance. That"s better than many states. Still, more than 300,000 Kansans are uninsured. This report provides an overview of important trends in health insurance coverage as well as a profile of the uninsured.
Several states are using reinsurance programs to stabilize small group markets and expand access to health insurance coverage. This issue brief explains reinsurance and discusses how it might be used as part of a broader set of health reforms in Kansas.
This is the first in a series of Research Briefs by the Kansas Health Institute summarizing findings from a comprehensive evaluation of the State Children's Health Insurance Program. This brief describes characteristics of children entering SCHIP and Medicaid, as well as characteristics of their families.
This brief is part of a series that summarized findings from a comprehensive evaluation of the State Children's Insurance Program. It describes prior health insurance coverage of children entering SCHIP, as well as current coverage within their families.
This Issue Brief discusses the actual and potential enrollment of children in public health insurance, some of the challenges of assessing success, and implications for public health insurance in the future.
This Issue Brief is the first in a series of reports from the Kansas HealthWave Evaluation Project, a three-year evaluation of HealthWave, Kansas' State Children's Health Insurance program.
This Issue Brief examines the dynamics underlying this growth, focusing on the movement of children into, out of, and between the two Kansas programs that provide health insurance to eligible low-income children.
In this report, the Kansas Health Institute examines the organization of public health and environmental functions currently administered by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
An analysis of the 1995 Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement data to determine the prevalence of hunger in Kansas and to identify particular sub-groups at risk for experiencing hunger.

Let's just say… Jesus makes you think of children a lot. Sometimes in not very acceptable ways.
Oh get your mind out of the gutter! This is an article about abortion and in particular Matt Barber's take on it where he writes an open letter to the women and "girls" who have had an abortion. He does ask us to keep an Open Mind and Hearing Heart and maybe an Empty Stomach, which is fine if you are planning to do battle in The Kitchen Stadium to topple an Iron Chef but not if you want to talk to idiots particularly about a topic which is personal, upsetting and above all private.
The thing is Matt thinks the things he says are truths. Which is deadly as fuck, because this man genuinely believes that the entire history of the planet is based on a bunch of ignorant shepherds from the Middle East and their religion which was considered anti-knowledge EVEN during it's own foundation. It's a faith where the greatest sin and the deadliest thing in it was the acquisition of knowledge. Knowledge isn't treated as sacred or important, it is treated as dangerous. Abrahamic faith is not just a blindfold to reality but is also a lead pipe to the head when it comes to it so you either are simply blinded or worse, you perceive it in such a warped and weird way that the only thing that will knock sense into you is a horrific shock. Where every single thing that the person holds dear suddenly and simultaneously comes down. My transition to atheism wasn't a horror filled realisation it was slow and gradual and rather painless. I never really had to wrestle with any demons all though I will Invoke Rule 34 for anyone wanting to see that particular fantasy.
It is through obedience to Christ and in the authority of His Spirit that I write you this letter. It may be difficult to read, but I pray you will read it.
Oh great… Matt is going to write a letter because the imaginary voices in his head told him to. This does not bode well. But these are Truths. Gah! Just saying the word "truth" alongside this makes me nose grow an extra inch. I submit that anyone claiming to "Have the Truth" or whose website has the words "Truth in the title, address or description" should be roundly ignored unless you want to get angry or need blog fodder.
First, let us dispense with the oft-asserted notion that, lest one is a woman – more particularly, lest one has faced an unwanted pregnancy – one has nothing to say about abortion.
I… agree… Great! Now I have to go into hiding while PZ Myers sends his feminist bounty hunters to capture me. DAMN YOU WND.
One can have plenty to say about abortion even if you are a man. You can educate yourself about the procedure and you can read about those who have undergone it. You can also read about the logic behind it and in some cases the technique so as to offer women the choice. There are male gynaecologists out there and some of the last late term abortion specialists in the USA are men. Arguably they have PLENTY to say about the abortion issue since they are the experts in the field. Again the argument assumes men can never understand what someone else goes through because men are giant, selfish infants rather than human beings. We are infantilising men and this has to stop. We CAN understand what women go through, we can make logical and cogent thoughts on the process of abortion and we aren't giant space slugs who are only interested in women if they parade around in a loin cloth and gold bikini.
Aren't you glad your mother chose not to kill you? I am.
I am glad I exist but if I didn't exist I wouldn't know about it. In the same way the eggs in my fridge will never know what it is like to be a chicken. They don't feel anything. They have no brains, no lungs, no heart. And those are chickens! They are born functional unlike humans who are born as "Crying Potatoes". The majority of abortions occur at a stage that's ludicrously early and you aren't a person at that stage.
Know this about your choice: Yes, you are still a mother. Yes, you have killed your child. And yes, there is forgiveness, love, redemption and healing available through Christ Jesus alone. Your inner voice was right. You have indeed committed a sin most grave. Those "pro-choice" flowers you were sold, though alluring, were, as you suspected, too good to be true. Instead, you purchased a bouquet of lies awash in the foul stench of death. You were told that for a few hundred dollars you could buy freedom, only to be bound by a horrible thing that, in this life, cannot be undone.
Everyone climb into the car, it's time for a guilt trip. If by some small chance the WND article leads you to mine and you aren't a regular reader and instead have come looking for some solace due to the guilt you have from an abortion then…
You aren't guilty. You made a choice based on circumstances that I "frankly don't care about". Because these circumstances mean a lot to you. An abortion is not something most of us take lightly. The decision to get one is yours and yours alone. If you feel guilty about it then you have to ask yourself "Why?". Chances are the answer is "Because people tell me to feel guilty and because I think that my life would be better if you had the child instead". Chances are it wouldn't have been better. You may see a struggling mother and think she is really brave and you may wish you had done that instead. But that's also a type of selfishness.
If you can barely feed your family and bought a big dog like a German Shepard or a Newfie, I would call you stupid. You can barely put food on your own table and you want to feed a dog that eats close to a kilo of dog food a day? It's irresponsible… Dog owners would be shocked by the lack of forethought.
But a baby? Doesn't a baby require at least the kind of thought process you give to the purchase of a dog? When you get a dog you think about everything from walkies to garden, to work to feeding. If you are putting in more thought process into the acquisition of a dog than the birth of a child then you need to get your priorities in order. If you cannot afford to care for the dog then you don't get the dog. If you cannot afford to keep the baby (and by afford I don't mean just monetarily, I mean emotionally, economically, careerwise and education wise) then do not give birth. Hindsight may be 20/20 but your current feelings are what is important rather than feelings that may arise 20 years down the road.
Your decision is the right one. The people who think otherwise don't have to care for your hypothetical baby. And it shows. Matt Barber links to a talk about Partial Birth Abortion. And this is why I defended the right for men to discuss abortion. Because it allows me to do this…
There is no such medical term as Partial Birth Abortion. The USA does not recognise it as a thing. It is not a recognised term by the AMA or the ACOG (American Medical Association and American College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology). My textbook of Gynaecology is british and doesn't have anything called this in it. It is a purely political construct in the USA and dates back to a Lawyer who coined the phrase in 1994. You may as well demand a Rx for a cootie shot for all the reality this procedure entails. It is however a method of sneaking in legislation to reduce the ability of doctors to provide late term abortions which are extremely rare and generally done to women who have babies with severe congenital defects, ectopic pregnancy, hypertensive disorders, cancer patients or who cannot physically care for the baby such as those who have severe mental retardation, disability or are victims of crimes such as incest, paedophilia and rape, It is not an easy decision to make, the number of women who undergo the procedure are rare but this number falls with better medical care and diagnostic tools because these cases can be terminated earlier and if a woman and her spouse are more prone to a congenital defect (If for example me and my hypothetical birth partner realised we had a 25% chance that our children may have a congenital disease then I would have no qualms in getting a vasectomy) they can be told their chances and encouraged to not play the "congenital defect game".
Your blood-covered hands can be washed clean by the blood-covered hands of Christ the Savior. You need only ask, receive and believe. Abortion kills God's children and hurts women and men alike. Your child has an earthly father, too, regardless of whether he took responsibility. Abortion makes men fathers of dead sons and daughters.
Again. More guilt words. And a website aimed at terrifying the living daylights out of you by pointing out the aftermath of abortion.
Which is like saying you shouldn't give birth to children because the aftermath of birth is rather terrifying too if you photograph it that way. No one really takes pictures of their kids being pushed head first through a vagina or covered in blood, mucous and meconium. No one takes pictures of the placenta. Or any suturing that needs to be done. Why? Because people want to remember their baby in the best light, not as a howling, terrified, slimy, bloody potato.
And just for that? I am going to show you something absolutely remarkable. In context and with meaning. It is gorey, it is not safe for the squeamish and it is not appropriate for the kids without adult supervision. It is also definitely NSFW unless you work in medicine. It his however a scientific miracle. It is giving people who are a type of blind a second chance at sight.
In short? This is part of my art. This is a procedure that gives sight to people often ignored and lets them be independent. Most of us will have a cataract if we reach the age of 70. Some of our children are born with cataracts and this helps them too. This restores vision. If I have it, it will actually make my vision so good that I won't need my thick glasses any more. This is a procedure that has improved year after year to the point where we are capable of doing this piece of open eye surgery in 30 minutes with local anaesthetic, no stitches (The initial incision is done so that the walls of the eye are held together by the pressure of the fluid inside the eye because sutures can cause astigmatism) and the patient can go home on the same day. This is fucking magic to many people across the world because it stops blindness. And it is a old procedure, the earliest references to it pre-date christianity and may even predate judaism. It is not the oldest surgical procedure (Trepanning is and the oldest still used procedure is rhinoplasty via the indian flap method) but it is pretty damn old in it's origins. By the way? This video contains copious amounts of swing music. You may start clicking your fingers…
This is the procedure they do where I work. There is a superior procedure involving an ever smaller incision and ultrasound probe but that's for decadent westerners. It's pricier but produces superior results. Meatball surgery demands the cheaper procedure sadly and India has a lot of people who need it.
You may be wondering what this segue has to do with abortion. The language I used to describe this procedure is one of praise even when mentioning it's limitations. You are intrigued and curious, some of you may have balked at the video. Some of you may have started it and turned it off half way through. A few of you may have made it to the end. You may have read the comments… of people who are scared and being told what the procedure entails. Of people who write in about how the procedure gave them their sight back. The procedure is common place in our countries but in many parts of the world those who need it have to struggle to get it because it is pricey or just not available. We forget how lucky we are. These people weep with joy when they can finally see again. Because to them this is nothing short of magic.
Yet if you saw it without my disclaimer or without my prose you would have no idea about this. If I portrayed it as "Doctors Stab Eye" you would think they were monsters. Context and procedure are important. Which is why depictions of bloody abortions are no more valid because they are portraying the procedure as unnecessary, pointless and done for the lolz.
"My mom thought it was right for me to tell you," she said, "that I had an abortion and the kid was yours." Her mom sat in the car behind her glaring at me. I'll never forget the expression on her face. It was a jarring blend of contempt, anger and pain. Lisa turned and walked away. I said nothing. I wish I could say I felt shame, but, mostly, I was just relieved that my parents didn't know. I never saw Lisa again. She moved away shortly thereafter. It was many years later that God showed me the magnitude of that day. I had sinned against Lisa. I had mistreated one of His precious daughters. From it, a child was conceived, and, due at least in part to my negligence and callous treatment of Lisa, that child died.
It's not about you mate. It's about her.
In this little story, Matt is 15. So lets get this clear. Matt had unprotected sex with someone resulting in a pregnancy which needed to be aborted.
Firstly? Sex Education Failed. Secondly, No Brains. I was not some teenage Lothario but even I knew that a condom was a must. I would rather my kids be safe than be sorry. I would want my girls to use the pill and carry a condom at all times. I would want my boys to carry one too. The responsibility is two fold, both genders MUST be responsible.
Lastly? Matt? You were fucking 15. She is fucking 15. What? Your paper round is going to pay for your kid? And remind me again about the job prospects for underaged parents? Good or bad? Are you going to live off mummy and daddy? No Matt. Apparently hindsight isn't 20/20 in your case. Hindsight is clouded and needs surgery.
You had no marketable skills apart from a breath, no job you could ever do could fund a child, the child would have grown up in poverty if not for bail outs from mum and dad and this is even if Lisa traded in all her aspirations to be a mummy aged 15. It's not about you. It's about what she wants with her life. And what she wanted probably doesn't involve having a baby.
And her mother is given the excuse to be a dick about abortion not because it's the right thing to do but because of the hateful anti-choice screed that we are so familiar with. Her mother is angry that her daughter has to undergo a sinful abortion rather than angry that you two didn't use any protection.
I've never been able to find Lisa, but I wish I could. I'd ask her to forgive me for the horrible way I treated her. If she didn't already know, I'd tell her of Christ's love for both of us and our child in heaven. I'd tell her that forgiveness, redemption and salvation are available to all who ask and believe upon Jesus.
If I were Lisa I would tell you to "Go Fuck the High Horse you Rode in On". She doesn't need your forgiveness nor does she need to forgive you or anyone else. What she needs is PERSPECTIVE. I remember being 15. My marketable skills was absolutely zero. I wouldn't hire myself to mow my own lawn. By my current standards I was an incompetent dribbling idiot who dressed in stupid outfits and who had a stupid haircut. I was not daddy material. And even I accept that I was probably smarter than a 15 year old Matt.
There is nothing to forgive. If she hates you for this then she would hate you even more for being a sanctimonious prick.
The enemy of the world is a liar. He is wicked beyond comprehension. You were lied to. Satan loves death. In the context of abortion, he deceptively calls it "choice." But it's only death. There is no freedom in death, except for those whose names are written in the Book of Life.
Yes! Instead you should totally have children you cannot afford to support and then watch them die. In grace. After all, Matt is so interested in life that he doesn't think about the quality of life of everyone involved. If Matt had a child aged 15 then all he would be whining about today is how he wish he had aborted it so that he could have had a proper education rather than trying to make do with all the skills and talents of a 15 year old. In fact he probably wouldn't have a massive syndication with a fairly large blog where he could parrot his sanctimonious garbage and get paid for it. (The difference is that I am aware of my sanctimonious garbage…)
Come to know Christ, and one day, in that place where sin is dead and life eternal, the baby you never knew – that child who knows you, loves you and has already forgiven you – will rush to your arms and say to you: "Mommy, I've been waiting for you. Welcome home."
Wait? What The Fuck! Matt is using the guilt associated with abortion that his rabid movement has created in order to flog more Jesus.
And he does so by portraying cells as a living breathing person. Maybe when Matt goes to heaven he will see all the millions of lives he has killed during the conception of his children (What? Life is only Diploid? Why is the potential of an embryo or foetus superior to the potential of sperm) Sperm is alive too and if sperm is alive then the DNA in it is 50% of a human being. Every sperm is capable of being a person as is every egg. So while women may have to deal with around 500 or so such "children", every man will have to deal with millions of babies. Who died just so you could have one.
If my argument is idiotic then it's only because deep down we know the pro-life argument is just as stupid.
I don't see this as offering solace. I see this is as preying on those who are sad. This is like a drug dealer going around making people's lives miserable on purpose so that he can sell them heroin. All in all a terrible human being.
If you aren't sure about being a parent then think about it. If you are sure you cannot be one then do the right thing. Abort. We plan out our purchases of pets better than we plan out the birth of our kids. And that's unacceptable. It's not a dog, it's a child. And children need the best. So don't have them if you are 15 or cannot feed them or are working on a career that right now requires all your attention. Have them when you are ready and when you can provide the kind of life that those kids deserve so that they can grow up the way you want them to and so you can spend some time with them. So you can be the best parent you can be.

Nippy, sweet, hot, tart â¦.this is oh-so-wicked good.Serve with biscuits, chicken dishes, and naan and tandoori and curry specialties or spread on croissants. You can use semi-drained canned mango.
Here in Montreal, Aux Vivres is a beloved vegetarian restaurant. They're famous for their Dragon Bowl, which is bowl food at its best. I created my own special bowl food meal with my Mecca Bowl. It's for vegetarians or anyone with good taste (you can and add either grilled chicken or grilled tofu as the protein component). The colourful arrange of healthy grains, stunning beets, carrots, atop baby greens and anointed with uniquely delectable ginger-garlic vinaigrette I invented makes this a riveting lunch classic in the restaurant chez food (i.e. your kitchen). The trick is to have things ready-to-go and then the assembly is 1,2,3 quick!
You dump and layer ingredients. You scoop 'em. You eat 'em. What could be simpler or more manly? To make this girl food, or new age man food, opt for low-fat sour cream. This is a great appetizer or Saturday night video fare. One dip and you get a cornucopia of Tex Mex flavors.
I am almost a good preserver/jammer as I am a baker. Ok – I am outstanding. Most people who preserve get good at it – it comes with the territory as does creating your own special fruit combinations. I love plum jam but like a bit of oomph as provided by a handful of raspberries thrown in. This jam is ambrosial, deep crimson and sublime on toasted bagels or English muffins.

June 6th, 2012 | TriCare Help | Posted by Military Times
I am an Air Force retiree. After being divorced for 19 years, I will be remarried in August. My fiancée has had her tubes tied, but we would like to try to have a baby together. After we get married, will Tricare pay for her to have her tubes untied? And will it pay for her to become a mom?
I have bad news and good news. Tricare covers voluntary sterilization procedures (vasectomy for men and tubal ligation for women), but it does not cover reversal of these procedures. However, assuming that your bride-to-be has other insurance and can get her tubal ligation reversed on her own, she will be fully covered by Tricare for maternal care, and any children you may have together will be fully covered for their health care needs as well.

Since we last covered the California drought, conditions in the state have stayed, well, dry—very dry. Statewide, total precipitation is about equal to or below the lowest three-year period since 1895.
The Arkansas Valley is enduring the driest continuous period in Colorado's history of recorded data, recalling conditions the state's southeastern plains experienced during the Dust Bowl.
A few storms found their way to the drought-stricken California coast late this winter, but they barely made a dent in the state's huge water deficits. As the North Pacific winter storm season recedes, there is little likelihood for substantial drought recovery.
The historic rainfall that flooded the Colorado Front Range in September 2013 did little to dampen drought in the state's southeastern plains.
Maps of precipitation deficits through January show California mountain areas generally have greater deficits than lower elevations, and Southern California with larger deficits than areas to the north. The drought outlook for February remained grim.
The most populated state in the country is facing what may be its worst drought in a century of record-keeping. On January 20, the governor of California declared a state of emergency, urging everyone to begin conserving water.
India's monsoon rains finally arrived in August—two months late—and vegetation conditions showed some improvement.
The rainy season in India arrived late and delivered far less precipitation than usual in summer 2012, leading to severe drought across large parts of the country.
Drought conditions have become more widespread and severe in the Southwest in the first part of 2011.
Most of the southwestern United States is having a very dry winter. The northern parts of Arizona and New Mexico were clipped by a few drenching storms exiting California in December, but dry conditions are more the norm.

RELEASED: Sept. 12, 2008
|Julio Cedillo, left, as Melquiades Estrada and Tommy Lee Jones as Pete Perkins in the movie "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada."
EAU CLAIRE — "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" (2005), the award-winning directorial debut of actor Tommy Lee Jones, will be presented Sept. 25-28 at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The poetic modern-day Western will screen at 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Thursday through Sunday in Davies Theatre.
Jones stars as Pete Perkins, a veteran cowboy living in a small Texas border town. He becomes friends with Melquiades Estrada (Julio Cedillo) soon after he hires him as a ranch hand. When Estrada is gunned down in mysterious circumstances and hastily buried, Perkins kidnaps the border policeman (Barry Pepper) responsible and forces him to disinter the body. With his captive in tow and the body tied to a mule, Perkins undertakes a dangerous and quixotic journey into Mexico to take his friend's body home.
"'The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada' tells the kind of story that John Huston or Sam Peckinpah might have wanted to film," wrote film critic Roger Ebert in his four-star review. "It begins with a bedrock of loyalty and honor between men, and mixes it with a little madness. In an era when hundreds of lives are casually destroyed in action movies, here is an entire film in which one life is honored, and one death is avenged."
Jones describes the film as "a study of the emotional, psychological, spiritual, and social implications of having an international border running through the middle of a culture." The actor was moved to produce and direct his first feature film after a senseless 1997 murder on the U.S.-Mexico border for which no one was ever charged. Jones befriended screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga ("Amores Perros"), who crafted a script that weaves past and present as it gradually reveals a great friendship, the lonely subterfuge of an illegal migrant's life, and the redemption of a callous, if accidental, killer. Much of the film was shot on Jones' Texas ranch.
"The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada" won Cannes Film Festival awards for Best Screenplay and Best Actor. Presented by the University Activities Commission of the Student Senate, the 121-minute film is rated R.
Admission is $2 for International Film Society members and UW-Eau Claire faculty and staff and $1 for UW-Eau Claire students. Tickets are available at the Service Center (715-836-3727) in Davies Center's east lobby, and will be sold at the door.

Have you heard about Michael DeMeng's and Andrea Matus DeMeng's newest endeavor? Leave art for the unsuspecting! Here is the plan in Andrea's words:
"Art Abandonment is a group designed to encourage random acts of art, left in various locations around the globe. The idea is that folks can make something and leave it for a lucky unsuspecting person to find. Artists can then post locations and photos of abandoned goodies…and finders can let everyone know that they are the lucky finder! O' sweet abandon!
So leave some art. Leave a contact email for the finder…and if you get notified share the message with this group. If you prefer you can use the contact email: email@example.com we'll be checking it often and share the results. Have fun!"
I love this idea. Join in and make someone smile.

Jeff Gothelf, an interaction designer and proponent of agile methodologies, wrote a great piece titled "A Better Project Model than the 'Waterfall'" for the Harvard Business Review blog network. The article is good because the ideas are spot-on. What makes it great is that the language will resonate with folks trapped in large-company, waterfall bureaucracies who want to get some of that "agile mojo" but don't see how to change their organizations. The title references process, but the best part of the article is about writing good requirements.
Gothelf focuses on one of the key ideas of the lean movement—form and then validate hypotheses. If you are involved in discovering or authoring requirements and haven't already read The Lean Startup by Eric Ries, you should. You will start writing better requirements, and your teams will start building better products—even if you're not a startup and you're not using lean or even agile methodologies.
The key aspect of hypothesis-driven development is to explicitly acknowledge a few key ideas:
- Requirements start with an assumption of why doing something will be valuable.
- Well-reasoned requirements identify a quantifiable aspect of the assumption—a definition of "good enough" that clarifies the definition of success.
- Well-written requirements include a measurable aspect of what needs to be accomplished in order to realize—based on the hypothesis—this quantified measure of success.
Gothelf touches on one of the key behavioral perspective shifts that happens on a team when you write requirements in this fashion:
Instead of presenting their teams with lists of features to build in a sequence, organizations should present their teams with business problems to solve. Provide constraints for the solution and any assumptions that currently exist about that business problem and its target audience.
Most importantly, each team should be handed specific success criteria. These criteria should be quantifiable and point to specific outcomes that prove the customer's need has been met and the business problem has been solved.
The value of taking this approach to writing requirements is completely realizable for both agile and waterfall teams. Yes, it is one of the by-products of the agile movement. Yes, it is "baked in" for teams that are operating effectively with an agile development process (or at least a lean process).
And yes, you can start doing this today—even if your team is using a waterfall process—and start realizing the benefits as soon as you deliver something measurable against a requirement that has identified the measure of success.

Sandy Koufax (12/30/1935 to Present)
Played for Brooklyn Dodgers and
Los Angeles Dodgers from 1955-1966.
Sandy Koufax had 4 no-hitters, pitched a perfect game in 1965, made 4 All-Star performances, was the National League MVP in 1963. Koufax won the Cy Young award 3 times, pitched in 4 Worlds Series and was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972.
On September 9th, 1965, Dodger's pitcher Sandy Koufax was about to go down in the history books. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Koufax was one pitch away from completing a perfect game.
During the mid-sixties, Koufax's blazing fastball made him the most dominating pitcher in baseball history. He won 25 games three times, captured five straight ERA titles, and in 1965, the same year he pitched his perfect game, Koufax set a new standard with 382 strikeouts. Koufax led the Dodgers to four World Series. Sandy Koufax, truly a Dodger legend.

Religious Freedom, Free Speech and Equality: Conflict or Cohesion?

There have recently been a number of high profile political incidents, and legal cases, that raise questions about hate speech. At the same time, the tensions, and perceived conflicts, between religion and sexuality have become controversial topics. This paper considers the relationship between religious freedom, free speech and equality through an analysis of recent case law in Great Britain, Canada and the United States. The paper starts with a discussion of how conflicts between these values arise in areas such as hate speech and explores the differences between the European and US approach to this issue. In Council of Europe member states there is an increasing use of the criminal law to regulate hate speech. This paper argues that criminalisation of hate speech poses a distinct risk to the values of free speech and proposes alternative non-legal responses such as a greater use of cultural policy. The paper also explores a range of cases where the religion and sexual orientation conflict has arisen in areas such as the workplace. An analysis of these cases suggests that although there is no perfect resolution of this issue, it is possible to develop a set of principles that encourage a balance between the values of religious freedom, free speech and equality even in difficult situations where there is a conflict between religion and sexuality. The paper concludes with some practical recommendations for managing the tensions or conflicts between religious freedom, free speech and equality in liberal democracies.

MLC Women Picked Fourth in UMAC Preseason Poll
ST. PAUL - The Martin Luther College women's tennis team was picked to finish fourth in the conference preseason poll released this week.
MLC finished with 11 points in the poll, one ahead of fifth-place Bethany Lutheran and five behind third place Minnesota-Morris. St. Scholastica and Northwestern tied for first in the poll with 23 total points and three first place votes apiece.
The Knights will look for improvement from last season's 2-12 season, with five of the team's six top singles performers returning from last season.
Jackie Keller returns in the top singles spot after playing there all 14 matches last season as a sophomore, while Carissa Kock and Holly Marquardt each return in the numbers two and three positions. Melissa Stibb and Charis Goelzer combined to play in 22 singles matches a season ago, and figure to find a spot in the second half of the line-up again this season.
Newcomer Elizabeth Broring figures to get a chance early at a spot in singles competition, while Mateja Epple returns as depth in both singles and doubles.

So is it cool if I put a few Disney Dream food pics up? Just let me know and I'll stop!
These are the "Pirates Golden Potstickers" from the Pirate night dinner. They were deep fried which I wasn't expecting, but they were reaaaaally good. Sorry for the blurry photo, I was too hungry to try to take more than one shot!
I vote yes on the Disney Cruise Photos...if we can do Universal photos, I think Cruise Line is much less of a stretch!!

From pirate night again, but this time the jumbo crab cakes appetizer
Captain Hook's Macadamia nut-dusted mahi mahi from the Pirate dinner. The sauce was a mild curry sauce and it's on a bed of jasmine rice, with a fried plantain. I would choose this again, it was really really good!

Zippity! You're getting married! Congrats :) I see you're doing the honeymoon at WDW & another cruise. Are you getting married at WDW too or at home?
That's an interesting serving of sirloin. They obviously have a full sirloin that they're slicing instead of grilling individual steaks like I would expect.
And for my POTD...the infamous Butterfinger cupcake! (it wasn't as great as you might hope)
I didn't try the sirloin, it was my friends but she liked it. I know after all the apps we were having I wouldn't have been able to handle a full steak and I couldn't finish mine at Palo!
I had the butterfinger cupcake on my trip as well and I liked the cake part but the icing wasnt so good and there was just sooooo much of it! But Im glad I tried it once!

Gov. Perry, Gov. Henry Stress Traffic Safety For Texas-OU Weekend
Texas Beef, Oklahoma Flour At Stake In Annual Red River Shootout
As part of the annual Red River rivalry weekend, Texas Gov. Rick Perry today joined with Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry to stress highway traffic safety for fans heading to Dallas on Saturday when the University of Texas Longhorns battle the University of Oklahoma Sooners.
Perry and Henry have recorded a safety public service announcement that will air this week on Austin, Dallas and Oklahoma radio stations. The announcement, which was a cooperative effort of the Texas Department of Transportation and the Oklahoma Highway Safety Office, is targeted at the thousands of drivers from both states traveling to Dallas for the game.
"Texas and Oklahoma may have a huge rivalry on the football field, but our states are united in the ongoing effort to promote traffic safety," Perry said. "The Click It or Ticket message is an important one to remember not only for Texas-OU weekend, but every time you get behind the wheel."
"Traffic safety is certainly something upon which we all agree," Henry said. "The Click It or Ticket campaign can help ensure that this upcoming OU-Texas game weekend is a safe and sound one for fans on both sides of the Red River."
Perry and Henry also announced details of the governors' traditional friendly wager on the game. Perry has put up a side (approximately 325 pounds) of home-grown beef furnished by the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association versus 150 pounds of Oklahoma flour from the Shawnee Milling Company.
"No matter the sport, bragging rights are always at stake when Texas and Oklahoma clash," Perry said. "Football is king in Texas, and the Longhorns should prove that convincingly Saturday in Dallas."
"I'll be sure to get the grill ready for all that Texas beef that will be coming once the Sooners prevail this weekend," Henry said. "While I certainly applaud Gov. Perry for his loyalty to the Longhorns, I am confident that Coach Stoops and his Sooners will make it another banner day for the Crimson and Cream."
This year's game marks the 98th meeting of the two schools. The University of Texas holds a 55-37-5 lead in a football series that has taken place in Dallas every year since 1929.

There is nothing quite like Las Vegas when it comes to the experience of a tourist holiday
destination. Unlike other places with their beautiful natural surroundings or historic sites, when you come to Las
Vegas you are here for the casinos alone. It is a city that was built on gambling. Although the state of Nevada
made gambling legal as early as 1931, it was ten more years before the first casinos opened their doors. Compared
to those early gambling spots, today's hotel casinos are the epitome of sophistication and elegance. You can visit
the old Las Vegas with its classic style of hotel casinos on Fremont Street or take in the latest in entertainment
and lush casino accommodations on The Strip. Of course, there are casinos in many of the surrounding areas and with
a cost to fit almost any budget.
When it comes to choosing a hotel in Las Vegas, the options can be overwhelming but in a good
way. The primary owner of hotels in Las Vegas continues to be the MGM Mirage with twelve of the 45 casinos on the
major streets. With this many to choose from, you can probably find a hotel within this chain that can suite your
If you want to look at some other options, the Bellagio is a popular destination with its
elegant surroundings and Five-Diamond AAA rating. The hotel offers lots of amenities such as soaking tubs in the
bathrooms, electronic drapes for those mid-afternoon naps after a long night of gambling, the ease of in-room
mini-bars and cable television along with such standard services as room service, laundry and dry cleaning, Most of
the rooms are suites with two master bedrooms and a living area.
Another popular choice for many Las Vegas visitors is the New York, New York Casino Resort with
its walkway through a Hollywood version New York City and rooms designed to feel like skyscrapers right out of the
New York City skyline. The rooms have lots of great amenities as well including suites with Jacuzzis, marble tubs
and large luxury living room areas.
If the pocketbook feels a little too cramped for these kinds of hotel prices, there are plenty
of more affordable choices in Las Vegas. The Railroad Pass Casino Resort and the Boardwalk Casino Resort are just
two of the great little casino resort hotels that offer plenty of comfortable rooms and lots of gaming excitement
on a smaller budget. And even if you stay here, you can always walk the strip and enjoy the spectacle that is Las
Vegas for free.
No matter where you choose to stay Las Vegas hotel casinos are busy 24/7 with a vast array of gambling options for just about
anyone's fancy. Whether you love to play the tables with blackjack or poker, roll the dice for craps or just
spend some time with Las Vegas' famous "one armed bandits" the slot machines, Las Vegas has the latest and
greatest alongside every type of classic game you can name. From vacationing families to seasoned gamblers,
there is something for everyone at the Las Vegas hotel casinos.

What you say of the pride of giving life to an immortal soul is very fine dear, but I own I cannot enter into that: I think much more of our being like a cow or a dog at such moments: when our poor nature becomes so very animal and unecstaticQueen Victoria
Confidence, like the soul, never returns whence it has once departedPublilius Syrus
Dance is the landscape of a man's soulUnknown
Go cherish your soul; express companions; set your habits to a life of solitude; then will the faculties rise fair and full within.Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803
I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.Og Mandino
Go cherish your soul; express companions; set your habits to a life of solitude; then will the faculties rise fair and full within.Ralph Waldo Emerson
Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief in denying them.Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803
The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment the eye of the body is not always that of the soulGeorge Sand
The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.Aristotle
Knowledge is the food of the soul.Plato
Belief consists in accepting the affirmations of the soul; unbelief in denying them.Ralph Waldo Emerson
Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You don't have to know about Plato and Aristotle... (or) Einstein's Theory of Relativity ... (or) the Second Theory of Thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.Martin Luther King Jr
Jazz may be a thrilling communion with the primitive soul; or it may be an ear-splitting boreUnknown
Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul.Henry David Thoreau
Music religious heat inspires, It wakes the soul, and lifts it high,Cannonball Adderley
In the stories about life and death, the soul often floats above the goodbye moment, hovering over police cars at highway accidents, or clinging like a spider to hospital room ceilings. These are people who receive a second chance, who somehow, for some reason, resume their place in the world. Eddie, it appeared, was not getting a second chance.Albom, Mitch
The life-boat may have a tasteful bend and beautiful decoration, but these are not the qualities for which I prize it; it was my salvation from the howling sea! So the interest which a regenerate soul takes in the Bible, is founded on a personal application to the heart of the saving truth which it contains.James Waddel Alexander
To whatever extent a person's knowledge increases, his attention will be turned more towards his soul.Ali bin Abu-Talib
We are, heart and soul, friends to the freedom of the press...It is a precious pest, and a necessary mischief, and there would be no liberty without it.Fisher Ames
For pleasure is a state of soul, and to each man that which he is said to be a lover of is pleasant.... Now for most men their pleasures are in conflict with one another because these are not by nature pleasant, but the lovers of what is noble find pleasant the things that are by nature pleasant; and virtuous actions are such... Happiness then is the best, noblest, and most pleasant thing in the world, and these attributes are not severed as in the inscription at Delos: Most noble is that which is justest, and best is health; but pleasantest is it to win what we love.Aristotle
If ... we state the function of man to be a certain kind of life, and this to be an activity or actions of the soul implying a rational principle, and the function of a good man to be the good and noble performance of these, and if any action is well performed when it is performed in accordance with the appropriate excellence ... human good turns out to be activity of the soul in accordance with virtue, and if there are more than one virtue, in accordance with the best and most completeAristotle
Seething over inwardly With fierce indignation, In my bitterness of soul, Hear my declaration. I am of one element, Levity my matter, Like enough a withered leaf For the winds to scatter.Archpoet
To all my friends without distinction I am ready to display my opulence: come one, come all; and whosoever likes to take a share is welcome to the wealth that lies within my soul.Antisthenes

Retroverted uterus
|AGE Not significant factors
|LIFESTYLE Having had children is a risk factor
|GENETICS Not significant factors
A retroverted uterus is usually a harmless condition in which the uterus is tilted backwards.
© Jupiter
The uterus is normally inclined upwards and forwards. However, in about 1 in 5 women the uterus is tilted backwards, lying close to the rectum. This condition is known as a retroverted uterus and is a harmless variation of the normal position. There is often no cause for a retroverted uterus, although the condition may occur after childbirth or because an ovarian cyst pushes the uterus backwards. This condition could also be the result of pelvic inflammatory disease, in which the uterus becomes inflamed and scarred, usually due to an infection.
A retroverted uterus usually causes no symptoms and you may be unaware that you have the condition. It does not affect fertility, pregnancy, or childbirth.
What might be done?
Your doctor may be able to feel that the uterus is retroverted while carrying out a pelvic examination. If an underlying disorder is thought to be causing the condition, laparoscopy may be performed to view the pelvis and abdominal cavity. If there is an underlying cause, such as a cyst, this may be treated, allowing the uterus to return to its normal position.

Quote #10
But he had not left the Wall for that; he had left because he was after all his father's son, and Robb's brother. The gift of a sword, even a sword as fine as Longclaw, did not make him a Mormont. (71 Jon 9.16)
Oh, Jon, still going back and forth in his mind: Stark or Night's Watch? Night's Watch or Stark? Bottom line: nothing can separate you completely from your family.

Hey everyone yesterday was one of the most awkward days of my life but its also kind of funny. What happened was I was supposed to go to Alyssa's house, which I wanted to but then Riqy told me that he wanted to go to Summerfest, and I have never ever been there. Yes I know that's really crazy but I never have, my mom has promised to take me there many times but she never has. But anyways, well I told Alyssa I wanted to go to Summerfest and she got royally pissed off, and Riqy tried to make her feel better but that didn't work, so I didn't know what to do so I told my ride that I didn't want to go anymore and she said that was cool cuz she didn't want to go anyways. So me and Riqy went to Alyssa's house and had lots of fun but she was sick again, which I didn't mind but I felt bad for her. We had lots of fun, and we chilled and watched Beavis and Butthead and that movie KICKS ASS!!!!!!!! but Alyssa turned out to be happier when we got there which was a good thing but I love her and she knows I wouldn't try to do anything to hurt her but sometimes it happens and I can't help that everyone makes mistakes. I hope that we stay together for a long time. I love you Alyssa
I really like the way you designed my journal its perty (pretty) i miss you so much I wish I could see you right now cuz I'm having withdrawals from you sorry I'm a crackhead. but anyways. I felt sorry for you when u got sick it made me sad but I hope we last for ever LOVE YOU LOTS peace your favorite boyfriend ever, Doug

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
Description: Hugo Chavez elected president of Venezuela in 1998, is a colorful, unpredictable folk hero, beloved by his nation's working class and a tough-as-nails, quixotic opponent to the power structure that would see him deposed. Two independent filmmakers were inside the presidential palace on April 11, 2002, when he was forcibly removed from office. They were also present 48 hours later when, remarkably, he returned to power amid cheering aides. Their film records what was probably history's shortest-lived coup d'état. A documentary about political muscle and a portrait of the man The Wall Street Journal credits with making Venezuela "Washington's biggest Latin American headache after the old standby, Cuba."
