Another View -- Pia Carusone: How to reduce gun violence and respect the 2nd Amendment
Fundamentally, gun violence stems from the most dangerous people in America having easy access to guns, a small number of whom are capable of horrendous acts due to severe mental illness. For that reason, federal law seeks to prevent those who have been adjudicated by the courts from passing a background check. This happens through a process that includes courts, judges and due process. It's a high bar, as it should be. It is important not to stigmatize the mentally ill because the vast majority of Americans living with mental illness pose no threat to public safety.

Conan O'Brien
Conan O'Brien, the son of a epidemiologist and a lawyer who majored in American history at Harvard, doesn't seem a likely candidate for funniest man in the world. Perhaps it was growing up a ginger middle child fighting for attention against five siblings or maybe his cousin Denis Leary rubbed off on him. Whatever the reason, the lanky Easterner has long exceled in comedy from being one of only two people to be chosen as Harvard Lampoon editor twice, a Groundlings veteran and a TV writer for "Not Necessarily the News", "The Simpsons" and "Saturday Night Live" (1988-91). He won an Emmy for writing "SNL" in 1989. When Johnny Carson retired and Jay Leno was chosen to replace him over David Letterman, causing Letterman to take his talents to CBS, O'Brien was introduced as the new host of "Late Night". Unknown and untested in front of the camera, O'Brien spent four years proving himself and being renewed at 13-week intervals until he was finally given a lucrative five-year contract in 2001 and his company Conaco started sharing the show's production credits. He met his wife Liza Powell when she appeared in a skit in 2000 and they married in 2002. When Leno's contract expired in 2009, O'Brien moved to California to host the "Tonight Show" but when Leno renegotiated with NBC, got a prime-time slot for his new show and then wanted "Tonight" back after the new show failed, O'Brien and NBC parted ways seven months later. The father of two eventually moved his show "Conan" to TBS.

Underused Drilling Practices Could Avoid Pollution
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Versions of this story were published in the Albany Times Union and the Times Herald-Record.
As environmental concerns threaten to derail natural gas drilling projects across the country, the energy industry has developed innovative ways to make it easier to exploit the nation's reserves without polluting air and drinking water.
Energy companies have figured out how to drill wells with fewer toxic chemicals, enclose wastewater so it can't contaminate streams and groundwater, and sharply curb emissions from everything from truck traffic to leaky gas well valves. Some of their techniques also make good business sense because they boost productivity and ultimately save the industry money -- $10,000 per well in some cases.
Yet these environmental safeguards are used only intermittently in the 32 states where natural gas is drilled. The energy industry is exempted from many federal environmental laws, so regulation of this growing industry is left almost entirely to the states, which often recommend, but seldom mandate the use of these techniques. In one Wyoming gas field, for instance, drillers have taken steps to curb emissions, while 100 miles away in the same state, they have not.
The debate over the safety of natural gas drilling has intensified in the past year, even as the nation increasingly turns to cleaner-burning natural gas as an alternative to oil and coal. In Congress, one group of politicians is writing a climate bill that would encourage the use of more natural gas, while another group is pushing a bill that would put a key part of the process under federal regulation and force the disclosure of chemicals used in the drilling process. Neither bill addresses the question of how to encourage energy companies to use existing techniques that lower the risks of environmental damage.
Interviews with state officials and industry executives in states across the country show the industry tends to use these environmental safeguards only when political, regulatory, cost or social pressures force it to do so.
When states have tried to toughen regulations aimed at protecting the environment or institutionalizing these practices, energy companies have fought hard to defend the status quo. They argue that current laws are sufficient, that mandating practices imposes specific solutions on regions where they may not work best, and that the cost of complying with additional laws and safeguards would bankrupt them.
"Sometimes environmental considerations aren't the same as the public considerations, and many times the economic considerations don't fit," said David Burnett, an associate research scientist at Texas A&M University's Global Petroleum Research Institute and a founder of Environmentally Friendly Drilling, a government and industry-funded program that identifies best practices and encourages their use. "There could be better management practices used. We have to find a balance."
Michael Freeman, an attorney at the environmental group Earthjustice, says there is no escaping some damage from drilling. But if the best available precautions were routinely followed, environmental harm could be minimized and the industry may face less resistance from the public as it taps the vast new gas deposits that have been discovered in recent years.
"It would certainly address a lot of people's concerns," Freeman said. "But the government agencies that regulate the oil and gas industry need to be aggressive about making them clean up their act."
Good Chemistry
Few notions have sparked more hope among environmentalists than the possibility of replacing toxic chemicals used in drilling with what are being called "green" or non-toxic drilling fluids.
A review of scientific documents and interviews with drilling companies and the chemists who supply them shows that the transition is more than theoretical. It's starting to happen.

Showing 11 through 20 of 32 reviewsSt Luis Rey Serie G Rothchilde
"Very nice smoke"St Luis Rey Serie G Rothchilde
This one smokes very well with a smooth draw. The taste isn't quite Full, but very close. Excellent flavor, and burns even. I will definitely buys these again.Jeff S. in Knoxville, TN November 4, 2011
"Great Medium-Full, Fantastic Cigar"Saint Luis Rey Serie G No. 6
Purchased this cigar because I am (and always have been) a huge fan of maduros. Not only is this one of the best maduros I have ever smoked, it is overall one of the best cigars I have ever smoked. The flavor is consistent throughout, but many aspect of the flavor vary throughout. The beginning of the smoke was on the sweet side, and as it progressed into the 2nd third a delicious spiciness began to come through. The final third, and the end of the cigar, brought through a deep, rich coffee flavor. Throughout the entire smoke, the cigar built upon itself; I was hooked from beginning to end.Jeff S. in Knoxville, TN November 4, 2011 in San Jose, California October 21, 2011
"Get the smaller size, any other size"Saint Luis Rey Serie G Belicoso
I have always loved this cigar in other sizes but this one has extreme burn issues. I never offer a review of a cigar untill I smoke at least 3 of them and let me tell you, this one size is terrible. The # 6 is terrible because of its construction and burn. You dont want to smoke any cigar that needs constant touch ups.Mark R in Twin Cities MN September 23, 2011
"surprising!"St Luis Rey Serie G Rothchilde
That sudden burst of maduro taste..wow. Good burn, aroma, and copious billowing smoke! A bit harsh on last puff or so....but other than that a full flavored smoke indeed!!Jack in Louisiana July 31, 2011
"One of the best cigars in the world. YUMMY!"St Luis Rey Serie G Churchill
FSS clssified this as full. It's not. It's one of the most fantastic Medium cigars I have ever smoked. Much better than the Gloria Cubana serie R maduro. Which is a full cigar. I rate it a 94.Mark in Eagan MN May 8, 2011
"I like Saint Luis Rey maduro churchills"Saint Luis Rey Serie G Belicoso
I like Maduro wrapped cigars the best,and of all I've tried I like Saint Luis Rey Maduro Churchills the best,to the guy who says they tast like mud,you may have a bad batch,I would suggest going to a tobacco shop and buying one to see!brad in in the ozarks in Mo. April 10, 2011
"Very nice powersmoke!"Saint Luis Rey Serie G Belicoso
Based on the many favorable reviews, I purchased a box of these dark devils with much anticipation. The first two or three disappointed me a little so I decided to let them rest a few months in my humidor. They are much better for that rest, I'm glad to say. First of all, the construction and burn of these cigars are very good, nothing to complain about here. The draw is a little loose even for me as I prefer a easy drawing smoke. This perhaps explains why these sticks only last an hour or so, when I thought they should last longer. The Saint Luis Rey Serie G is an extremely full flavored, strong cigar; not for the casual cigar smoker. Plenty of spice with floral notes, lots of thick smoke but, surprisingly, not what I would call "creamy". This cigar should pair real well with coffee or wine. I would definitely recommend these to someone who wants a 'man-up', full-strength cigar that is priced right. Enjoy!E. T. in Kentucky January 27, 2011
"Outstanding Maduro Cigar"St Luis Rey Serie G Rothchilde
I smoke many premium cigars and think this Saint Luis Ray Maduro Serie G Belicoso is one of the best cigars around. Its price is very reasonable for the quality of the smoke. Try it, you will not be disappointed!Robert Rubalcaba in San Diego January 1, 2011
"Top Dra! Hell of a surprise! My new Favorite"St Luis Rey Serie G Rothchilde
I have tried so many cigars and not had one has ever surprised me in the way that this one has. I am seldom moved to want to write a review but this one has gotten me out of my easy chair to go to the computer in order to give praise to this cigar. I tried both the robusto as well as the rothschild because I smoke outside and need a short cigar for the winter. I am making this my favorite. I will serve these to my best company.William in Maine October 5, 2010
"My new favorite cigar!"Previous Next
Before smoking this cigar I would of rated the regular St. Luis Rey cigar as my favorite, but this one even exceeded that! Beautiful construction, draw, taste, smoke, everything you could possibly ask for! To top it all, my wife says that it smelled pretty good (which is saying a lot). This is a must have in your humidor!Jim in Indianapolis, IN February 11, 2010

HELP: What to do after dinner on a date?
The guy I'm seeing took me out to lunch and to the cinema last week, something I see as our first date. He made it so special with a simple walk hand in hand down the canal before lunch. It was really sweet. And he paid for everything (which I don't like, but it was sweet).I have suggested dinner on Monday and he's said 'yes' and I'm hoping it will make us more official as a couple, but I don't know what to do after dinner.We usually get a takeaway or cook and watch a DVD at his or mine but that's got a bit boring. And that always leads to sex (because we were friends with benefits before we realized there were serious feelings there). Now we are going out somewhere and its more serious, I want to have something planned for afterwards since he put so much planning and effort into last weeks date. I really want to impress him with something special and different.I have my car and so can drive anywhere easily. Also have a free house and it can be late night because none of us have anything in the morning.Does anyone have any suggestions about what we can do after dinner in order to have an amazing night?

for some odd reason all the way through that I was thinking about sitting by a candle lit lake or pond? doubt that's possible for you though?
Probably not. But loving that!Another question: If we're texting we'll have really cute conversations and then all of a sudden he'll stop and won't text anymore. Is there any known reason behind that? Do guys just not think or care about texting. We were just texting and then he just didn't reply. And now I'm a little annoyed and confused and I'm seeing him tomorrow and don't know how to act towards him.

overwhelmed by Tyrone side on fire - 20/07/03
Ulster Football Championship - Final Replay
Tyrone 0-23 v Down 1-05
@ 2.30 p.m. Clones, Sunday 20th July 2003
Replay specialists Tyrone were far too good for Down from start to finish and
easily seized the day with a devastating performance, adding the Anglo-Celt Cup
to the national league title garnered earlier this year. Captain Fantastic Peter
Canavan kicked eleven points and Sean Cavanagh and Owen Mulligan were also outstanding
as Down, whose frustration resulted in two sendings-off, were totally overwhelmed.
Tyrone signalled their intent from the off and put in a purposeful and highly-impressive
first-half display to establish an eight-point interval cushion. Paddy O'Rourke's
men simply had no answer to the rampant O'Neill County.
gave Tyrone the lead inside the opening minute with a sweet point after Kevin
Hughes - who started at midfield - had already dropped an earlier effort short
into the hands of Down 'keeper Mickey McVeigh. The scoring from the winners would
continue in relentless fashion. When Martin Cole, who was already on a yellow
card at this stage (for fouling Peter Canavan off the ball), dragged Canavan to
the ground in front of the posts in the fifth minute, the inimitable O'Neill County
captain made no mistake from the resultant free.
Liam Doyle
opened Down's account from a simple free in the seventh minute. Within a minute,
however, Canavan floated over a glorious free after Brendan Grant had pushed Mulligan
in the back to break up a flowing Tyrone offensive. Wing back Conor Gormley finished
Tyrone's next move - yet another exhibition of quality team football - and Mickey
Harte's men led by 0-4 to 0-1 after ten minutes. Canavan was looking much more
lively than he had done in the opening stages of the drawn game and the legendary
Errigal Chiarain clubman knocked over two points from play inside 60 seconds to
extend his team's advantage to five points.
When Tyrone
goalie Pascal McConnell fouled the ball, Michael Walsh was gifted Down's second
point but again Tyrone's response was immediate - a pinpoint free from Brian McGuigan
picked out Mulligan who casually kicked his second point. A John Lavery foul on
Mulligan - who was proving a real handful - gave Canavan his fifth point and with
only 20 minutes played, the rampant national league holders led by six, 0-8 to
Sean Cavanagh had a stranglehold on proceedings in
midfield and Down were all over the place. Mulligan added his third point from
play and a superb raid involving Canavan and Cavanagh ended with the latter's
goalbound shot being kicked off the line by Down corner back Lavery. The reprieve
was short-lived as Canavan tapped over the resultant 45. Tyrone were playing with
an astounding hunger and tenacity. Going forward, they were turning on the style
big time; in defence, they were hunting in packs and forcing Down's forwards to
subsist to mere scraps. It was all too easy for Tyrone and even when an element
of complacency began to inevitably creep into their play, Down were unable to
take advantage, sending a couple of good chances wide of the target.
When Canavan dribbled through on the Down goal he looked odds-on to score a goal
but McVeigh spread himself well to deny the full forward. Doyle then pointed a
free in first-half injury time but Kevin Hughes popped over his county's eleventh
point in the fourth minute of added time. The short whistle sounded with Tyrone
well ahead, 0-11 to 0-3. Down, who failed to register from play in the opening
period, were grateful of the interlude. Tyrone had played some superb football
and could have been even further ahead but for a tendency to over-elaborate.
it turned out the second half was even more of a procession. Points were swapped
on the resumption before a lengthy stoppage interrupted play for treatment to
Down goalkeeper McVeigh and Tyrone full back McAnallen at either end. Canavan
floated over an eighth-minute free, before the game's three most influential players
Mulligan, Canavan and mighty midfielder Cavanagh helped themselves to points to
make it 0-16 to 0-4 with only twelve minutes played in the first half.
Fifteen minutes of the half had elapsed by the time Doyle sent over Down's first
score from play and the skies opened up to produce a real downpour as conditions
at Clones went from tricky to treacherous. It made no difference to Canavan who
delivered his ninth point from a free following yet another foul on Mulligan.
With Down never looking like helping themselves to the goalfest of seven days
earlier, the match had now disintegrated into a rout and was well over as a contest
with fourteen minutes remaining. Hughes dinked over a lovely point off his left
boot from a tight angle and Down replacement Glen McMahon spurned a goalscoring
opportunity at the other end.
A Cole trip on Mulligan resulted
in a second yellow for the Mourne County corner back and a tenth point for top
scorer Canavan. Amazingly, Down were reduced to thirteen men when Dan Gordon was
sent off by referee Brian White for elbowing Ciaran Gormley in the face after
being penalised for over-carrying. Corner back Ryan McMenamin brought the winners'
tally to 20 points and substitute Frank McGuigan added another before Peter the
Great put 17 points between the sides with a free from a tight angle. A lapse
in concentration at the back allowed Ronan Murtagh in for a consolation goal for
the Mourne men but Ger Cavlan quickly knocked over a superb long-range point at
the other end. The rout had been completed.
Tyrone now
go into the All-Ireland series with confidence higher than ever. Down, on the
other hand, looked strangely impotent without their talismanic captain Gregory
McCartan and have their work cut out to recover from this thumping in time for
the forthcoming Qualifier against Donegal, which takes place this saturday in
Tyrone: P McConnell, D Carlin, C McAnallen, R McMenamin,
C Gormley (0-1), C Gourley, P Jordan, K Hughes (0-2), S Cavanagh (0-1), B Dooher

58 Percent Of People Would Rather Give Up Social Networks Than Their TVs [INFOGRAPHIC]
By Lauren Dugan on April 25, 2012 10:00 AM
As much as we are a tweet- and status update-addicted society, we'd give up our social networks if we had to, especially if it meant saving our TVs.
A new study suggests that people still love their TVs more than Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and the rest, choosing to save the tube and ditch the networks if they had to.

Film Review: Jurassic Park 3D (1993/2013)

ROCHA, Paulo Novis. Sodium bicarbonate in the critically lll patient with metabolic acidosis. J. Bras. Nefrol. [online]. 2009, vol.31, n.4, pp. 297-306. ISSN 0101-2800. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0101-28002009000400008.
Lactic acidosis is an acid-base imbalance frequently found in critically ill patients. It is associated with a poor prognosis. Despite the substantial body of evidence that critical levels of acidemia have several adverse effects on cell function, the use of sodium bicarbonate to treat lactic acidosis in critically ill patients remains highly controversial. This article aimed at: 1) analyzing the main differences between hyperchloremic and organic acidoses, with high anion gap; 2) comparing the risks associated with critical levels of acidemia with those associated with the use of sodium bicarbonate; 3) critically analyzing the literature evidence about the use of sodium bicarbonate for the treatment of lactic acidosis in critically ill patients, with an emphasis on randomized control trials in human beings; and 4) providing a rationale for the judicious use of sodium bicarbonate in that situation.

In my house, this is called lying:
…. "With Barry Bonds gone," Magowan said, addressing the media throng, "this is clearly the beginning of a new era for the Giants." He promised a "younger, faster, more energetic ballclub."
I'm always amazed at the audacity of people in the public eye just flat-out lying, as if to say that the fact that they are saying something makes it true. You wanna know why Baer and Magowan and Sabean think that saying the team is younger means that it is? I'll tell you why…. because it works. Because no one listens, no one reads, no one pays attention to anything other than the headlines anymore. If someone says it on TV, it's true. If it's written, anywhere, it's a fact. Jose Canseco can say whatever he wants, because he's on television, he wrote a book. Game of Shadows is completely factual, according to anyone and everyone. It's a book, of course it's true. That's as much an indictment of us as a culture, as a country, as it is of the people in the mainstream media.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco, we have an owner who, in between ignoring the day to day mistakes of his general manager and staff, has conveniently forgotten who buttered his bread for the last fifteen years. In his latest "State of the Team," press conference, Magowan comes off as small-time, petty, and quite frankly, unbelievably ungrateful. To say that his entire fortune is based upon the hard work and sacrifice of Barry Bonds might be a stretch, but it's not much of a stretch.
…. The ballpark itself has been de-Bondsed. Gone are the huge cloth murals of Bonds and "756″ that hung from the lighting towers flanking the centerfield scoreboard. Gone is the Bonds career-home-run "scoreboard." The leftfield fence now features a long green blank between the ads for Chevron and Bud Lite. Last season, that space was devoted to Bonds – first a mural of Bonds and three other Giants' legends, and then a "Road to History" mural featuring a photo of Bonds and a highway sign with his name and team logo.
…. I asked team president Peter Magowan if management considered some kind of visible tribute to Bonds and his record. "No," Magowan said, eloquently.
Historians will remember that towards the end of his career, Babe Ruth was lied to and discarded by the Yankees, but I wonder if it was a bad as this. Ruth needed to go because he wanted to be the manager, and had always been a sideshow, (like Bonds), and I seem to remember some bullshit between him and the existing manager (Miller Huggins?). It wasn't until he was diagnosed with cancer that the Yankees realized they were shortchanging the fans by slamming the door on Ruth. How can Magowan sit there with a straight face and act like Bonds somehow fucked him and the Giants over? That is as much an affront to me as a fan as any lying about the direction the team is going. Wiping clean all traces of Bonds is a disgrace.
And, again, let's point out that Roger Clemens is again being defended by members of Congress, while Bonds is still hunted and, of course, being colluded out of baseball. That virtually every member of the mainstream media is standing by and applauding while this is happening is another travesty. The number of sportswriters who have profited from Bonds' efforts, who have profited at his expense is staggering. Not content to cash their new, bigger paychecks, they still spew vitriol and bile at him, even when he's out of the spotlight.
I remember reading how Joe DiMaggio became a recluse, hiding from fans and sportswriters, until finally he spent all of his time and effort protecting his name and reputation, suing people who even thought about making money off his fame without him getting his due. Sadly, history is repeating itself. The destruction of Barry Bonds will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in baseball history. Bonds has been a tremendous player, one who dedicated himself to his craft, getting every last ounce of production out his talent; and this is like watching him be torn apart by hyenas. It makes me feel dirty.
And, to those of you who count yourself among my faithful readers, I have had enough. There is a distinct possibility I am going to start focusing on, and writing about a different team this season. Five years on the Giants, and during that time, I've been mostly critical of them, but at least there seemed to be some sense of competence and respect in the way they went about their business. I haven't agreed with everything, but at least they appeared to be giving an honest effort. The way these last couple of year has gone, and the way they (Magowan and Sabean, in particular) have been acting, is, frankly, abhorrent to me. Most of you have noticed that all I ever write anymore is complaints and criticisms. Well, I've noticed, too. This team makes me mad, disappointed, and most importantly, uninterested.
I am not interested in being lied to. I am not interested in a team that has so little respect for its fans that they would think it's OK to shit all over the greatest player in team history. I am not interested in an owner and general manager who think it's OK to field a team of has-beens, misfits, and never-was, washed-up players; and then lie about it right to my face. When someone lies to your face, that means they think you are worthless. They think you aren't worthy of their respect. They are telling you to go fuck yourself.
I am not interested in this absolute travesty. If I cannot get interested, well, then I'm gonna make some changes. That's where I'm at.
UPDATE: Thanks for the kind words, guys. I ain't going anywhere, but I am seriously thinking about covering the Yankees instead of the Giants. Nothing's decided.
And, I'll give you that MLB may have laid down the law about all the Bonds stuff, possibly as some way for Magowan and Sabean to avoid censure for their complicity in the Bonds situation. OK.
They still have been telling us that they are going younger and faster for about three seasons, now, while simultaneously signing guys like Aurilia. Horseshit.
The deal is this, Sabean's plan is easy to figure out, if you just watch what he does. He values veterans with proven track records over youth and inexperience. He has taken this strategy to it's absurd extreme, and, in doing so, has completely derailed this franchise. Magowan has watched him do it, and is either blind to it, or thinks it'll eventually work. Bottom line; these guys have failed. They have done so by choosing a course of action that disregards conventional wisdom, collective wisdom, and conventional –and unconventional– statistical analysis. It's as if they have gone out of their way to try and prove that Bill James is wrong.
He's not. They are. It's tough enough to root for a team going through a down swing. It's much tougher when any reasonable person can see that the path that management has chosen is clearly the wrong path. Rooting for the Giants right now is like rooting for the New York Knicks; you love the franchise, but hate the idiots in charge.

DeKALB, Ill. (AP) -- A DeKalb man faces charges in the fatal beating of a high school soccer coach.
Twenty-one year old Nathan Schrank has been charged with aggravated battery in the death of Luis Noriega.
Noriega was found injured outside a bar in DeKalb at two a-m Sunday. He was pronounced dead that afternoon at St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford.
The 25-year-old from Elgin was a coach at Indian Creek High School in Shabbona.
Schrank is being held in lieu of 250-thousand dollars bail.
Authorities are investigating if further charges will be filed.
DeKalb Police Chief Bill Feithen says more arrests are pending.

Religion letters - 3/18/04
I'll ask Jim again: Please identify for us just one undoubted transition for which there is no other possible explanation.
Questions for evolutionists
Hopefully, we can get some meaningful interchange. Hopefully the scientists, like Dr. Carpenter, will interact with my questions instead of resorting to name-calling and rhetoric. I have a small list of questions that I would like addressed.
Evolutionists speak of "doing science." This is all well and good. How do they account for the foundation of science though-the inductive principle? What philosophical answer can be given to justify the move from particular cases to universal laws? This is to say, what is the answer to Hume's skepticism?
How did nonlife become living? How did the unthinking become thinking? How did the nonmoral become moral? How did the inarticulate become articulate?
If everything is the product of blind, random, irrational processes, then it follows that the brain is a product of these things. We came up with the evolutionary theory with our brains. What reason do you have to trust the results of a product of irrational, random and blind processes?
The majority of the things evolution wants us to believe is that qualities turned into their opposites. That is, at virtually every step I must hold that contradictions happened. Well, I'm just a Christian. I just don't have enough faith to believe that.
Bible's prophecies can boggle the mind
It can be delightfully educational to study opposing North County Times letters concerning creation and evolution, etc., even if neither side is persuaded to repent, or change their mind. We are what we have been taught, all day long, and lock on.
As a Christian theologian, one of the quickest ways for me to counsel atheists or agnostics is to share mind-boggling discoveries. They can fall in love with ancient Bible prophecies "to which you do well to pay attention" (II Peter 1:19), while tradition of men detours (Colossians 2:8). They see proofs in the sciences and history, realized by man long after Bible predictions, available in Christian bookstores.
How about your Bible's original text, mathematically so superior to man's ways that you and I could not manually compose a 300-word paragraph so perfectly if we worked for six months? And with the Passion and Passover so near, how about the real Christ's famous "signs of the times" (I Peter 1:11), 100 percent merged and felt in your generation since June 7, 1967? Sorry, out of limited space.
Wishy-washy wild men
The preacher says with a show of staunchness that we need real men who are not wishy-washy or willy-nilly, and women who submit themselves to almighty God substituting for their husbands. And "person" replaces "man" referring to effectual, fervent prayer. How sweet. You cannot make Gospel waves in the world when you fear making ripples in the church and ticking off the women. Meanwhile, he has distributed a men's study book about wild men among the prominent men. Not prominent, I did not get one, but somebody lent me his because I need to heal my wound. I used to read those Robert Bly-type books, and recognized most of the quoted titles.

This is a "family fun" type of game not to be compared to games for hardcore gamers. And u can tell the game was made that way as just playing through a Wipeout! event without even winning unlocks the next level.
The same hilarity from the show happens in the game. Me and my family laughed like crazy when either of us fell or got knocked off.
As far as graphics it's not wonderful but it's not bad either. The collision animations make some of the best Wipeouts possible but sometimes u wipeout from just falling from too high a jump.
Once again this is NOT for the hardcore gamer. Taking the time to learn the obstacles does nothing for u as I imagine it'll get crazy boring. Just take it for what it is: a FAMILY FUN game. Why so serious reviewers?

As shallow as that formula appears to be, its actually a blast to play if you got friends over. No online play though, but honestly thats not a bad thing. This is the ideal game where you fill up your couch with friends and just laugh at each others wipeouts. Its easy enough for kids to play but challenging enough for adults. And trust me, adults will have just as much fun playing as kids, because the wipeouts are hilarious.
The gameplay consists of only the A and B buttons, the joystick to move, and an occasional shake of the wii-mote to help your player as he/she hangs on for dear life.
This is a good game to rent if you are having people over, or to keep your kids busy. It is cheap if you wanna just buy it, $20 is a good price for this game.

Now the good. The game is fun if you don't care if you die in a cheap manner. The characters are well rendered and the voice acting is passable even at times entertaining. They put a lot of work into the ragdoll body flop to mostly entertaining effects and there is slow motion replays to observe the classic wipeout replays.
Its a fun rental until you cant stand the repetitive nature or the bad hit detection.

A Game That Has Too Much Jumping

5 out of 10 gamers (50%) found this review helpful
In the game (for those of us who haven't seen the show), contestants navigate their way through a few obstacle courses.
The first on is the qualifier, where the contestants go from start to finish jumping over and/or through obstacles like the Big Balls (four really big balls), the Sucker Punch (A wall with boxing gloves that tries to knock the player off the ledge) and Dirty Balls (balls in mud).
The second course is the Sweeper where the contestants have to avoid getting knocked off a platform by a sweeping pole (or ring)
The third obstacle course varies from Unclaimed Baggage (just like the Sweeper except that players have room to move) to the Dizzy Dummy (a shorter version of the qualifier)
The last obstacle course is the Wipeout Zone. This is exactly like the qualifier, except for a slight variation of the obstacles.
If a player gets stuck on a particular part of the qualifier or Wipeout Zone, the game will give a time penalty and get the player to the next obstacle.
The winner of the first three rounds gets a 10 second advantage over the player in second place a 20 second advantage over the third place player and a 30 second advantage over the last place player. The second place player gets a 10 second advantage over the third place player, and 20 over the last player, and so on.
Winner is player who gets through the Wipeout Zone the fastest.
But the are problems; the gameplay tends to repeat far too much; most of the obstacles involve nothing more than jumping over or on things - entire courses can consist of nothing more than jump, jump jump your way to victory
The commentary can get repetitive, and the words do not match up with the lip movements at all.
Wipeout the game is for hard core fans of the show, and players who like jumping exercises - but the obstacles were too bland for me to like. SKIP IT.

The main problem with the game is that it lacks polish. The cutscense arent in sync, the contorls and collision detection are a bit off. (example: you jump for the platform think you made it but no to close to the edge and you wipeout) This game is best played with other players because in the single game you have to watch the cpu run the course, you can skip them but it guarentees the cpu a win because they complete the course. The commentary is funny, but after an hour you have heard everything the game has and quickly becomes repetative.
Bottom line is get a couple of fans of the show together, and have a night of fun. Fun to be had if you can overlook the wonky controls and collision detection problems.

Medicare and Medicaid combined were about $602 USD billion in 2004, though, so they're not exactly small pickings either (it was $207 USD billion for Medicare and $305 USD billion for Medicaid, while it served a combined total of 87 million people [and the "dually eligible" have been accounted for in that total]). Edit: More recent statistics (as per Wikipedia). (Note: this isn't actually what was passed, but rather what President Obama requested to be passed. The actual values may very well have changed in between those two ideas).

Wandering Student ಠ_ಠOk, necroing thread because this is awful. this is a study about bankruptcies here in the US in 2007. The sample size was 2314 bankruptcies. The results:
RESULTS: Using a conservative definition, 62.1% of all bankruptcies in 2007 were medical; 92% of these medical debtors had medical debts over $5000, or 10% of pretax family income. The rest met criteria for medical bankruptcy because they had lost significant income due to illness or mortgaged a home to pay medical bills. Most medical debtors were well educated, owned homes, and had middle-class occupations. Three quarters had health insurance. Using identical definitions in 2001 and 2007, the share of bankruptcies attributable to medical problems rose by 49.6%. In logistic regression analysis controlling for demographic factors, the odds that a bankruptcy had a medical cause was 2.38-fold higher in 2007 than in 2001Emphasis mine. This means that even with private health insurance, you are still likely to get completely shafted when you get a debilitating sickness.

Fuzzy Orange DoomsayerIf you get cancer, statistically, you will go bankrupt within two years. In a way, this is actually relevant to me, since I have a rare immune disease. My insurance is billed $20, 000 every eight weeks for my treatment, though due to the way the system works, it only pays a small fraction of that amount. If I were not insured, I'd be required to pay that whole sum, and since I have a preexisting condition, I have no idea whether I would be allowed to buy private insurance—which means I need a job that has health coverage, and can't afford to dream of being a writer or an entrepreneur. Edit: Decided to do some more research, and this looks promising.

The fact that universal healthcare delivers superior healthcare for a lower cost should be enough to convince people, if the fact that privatised insurance has shown itself to be a thoroughly corrupt and unsustainable system isn't enough to convince you.

Basically, they're both the closest thing the US has to a publically-funded healthcare system.And it's been complete crap since 1972. (It wasn't much better before then.) Why anyone thinks we'll do better doing the same to the rest of the healthcare industry is really an exercise in insanity. The US government is not a shining beacon of competence when it comes to most things healthcare included.

Well the issue is that you have to prove that VA care is worse than private care. You state how it is "insanity to spread this to all healthcare" but then I can reverse your statement. Private healthcare is total garbage in the US, it is insanity to keep going with it.
268 ch00beh, Mon, 19th Mar '12 4:10:43 PM from Who Knows Where
???To continue on from the 2012 American Elections thread, my friend got back to me about why he thinks it's not entirely feasible for healthcare to be socialized in the US. Just copying this straight out of an e-mail.
We can talk more about it, but very quickly, and based only on public sources (not NDA covered), that's not at all true about R&D. It's actually a very complicated issue with companies trying to balance sourcing new products from R&D and from M&A, but most companies still spend a lot on R&D - to the tune of billions. Sales and marketing is a very high expenditure as well though. I can't comment on what the ratio between the two might be, but rest assured that R&D is responsible for billions and billions of expenditures. You can google a few major companies (ie Roche, GSK, Allergan), look at their bottom line profit and also their R&D expenditures. The R&D Expense to Profit ratio is really high for most companies (a few exceptions of course). It varies, but for example, Roche spends 8+ billion n R&D and makes a net profit of about 8 billion. That's on the high-side, but its not cheap, and the government certainly can't subsidize that level of R&D. Also, pharma development is international! Who pays for it then? If the argument is to save money from sales and marketing, in my opinion, that's not very practical or beneficial. And I'm not sure how subsidized drug development helps save on sales and marketing, besides that it creates intense competition for limited public funds (and hence fewer products to compete with each other). Ultimately don't see the good for society. Bear in mind that sales and marketing in healthcare often serves as education for doctors and patients. Doctors and patients (worldwide) rely on pharma companies to learn about new therapies; that's even the case in Europe where medicine is highly-socialized. Its overly idealistic for Americans to envy Europe's socialized medicine; as long as Europe is so heavily socialized, America cannot become that way, because pharma companies need to make money somewhere, and its more profitable here. And who can argue that it's beneficial for them to make money (and then, presumably, use that money to innovate)? I know that was a bit scattered - when I have more time I can put together a more coherent argument for your internet buddies. Let's talk another time about this.

270 Ace of Spades, Mon, 19th Mar '12 4:22:31 PM from The Wild Blue Yonder Relationship Status: Yes, I'm alone, but I'm alone and free
Given that the big pharma companies often have incentive to lie or manipulate doctors into selling their drugs, I'm not exactly going to cry over a few of them going down in the event of socialized medicine. None of us are discounting the cost of the R&D, in fact that's what a lot of the proposed tax hikes would go to pay for. The primary idea behind socializing medicine so that the insurance companies and hospital billing can't drive you into a debtor's prison for the rest of your possibly short life, or burden your family with crippling debt if you die.

Geronimo!I'll be honest, if the question comes to (a) provide quality healthcare with the tools and medicines we have now to the vast majority of U.S. citizens, versus (b) guarantee Big Pharma astronomical sums of money to invest in funding new medical products, I choose A. However, there is no evidence that this is at all a realistic dichotomy. In the other thread I proposed a two-pronged solution to the crisis: first, divorce R&D from sales; second, fund R&D out of the national healthcare budget and make the primary incentive to deliver safe, effective treatments.

Geronimo!It seems to me that many of the arguments being deployed are less along the lines of saying there's a fundamental incompatibility between national healthcare and healthcare research and more like a threat that if we do these things, Big Pharma will pack up its toys and go home. To which I answer, "Suck it." Less colloquially, they won't just fold up and go home; they have businesses to run and protect and investors to be responsible to. They will adapt to the changing market situation because they have to. The whole point of a free market system is that it's more readily able to innovate than government systems. If they are so completely locked into the current way of doing things that they are incapable of surviving when it changes, then capitalism is a failure.

through every aspect of modern life.
Bindanox Aka Snooker Boys Nelson Binda does not only look backwards with nods to the likes of Afika boombaba, Moby and Fatboy Slim but he is also forward thinking and dynamic. With this EP he really showcases his new unique sound using influences but still pushing into more modern genres of chiptune and

The Philosofist - Aural Static
This second EP of the year comes from The Philosofist who is some that had become something of an enigma for me and Housefly Records until Now... I had always thought of the Music making community as a 50/50 split but Matt seems able to hop from Electronic music to Instrumental Hip Hop effortlessly and fill all the space in between...
Aural Static is a perfect example...Hip Hop with that electronic edge and for this very reason it seemed only right to include The Philosofist aka Matt Ojeda in this very important year for Housefly...
Snooker Boys - Snooker Boys
After doing several Grime-influenced Projects Nelson started Snooker Boys the grime beats just were no doing it and for nelson Perfection is something he looks for in his organic producing style with musical influences such as Fatboy Slim,Garage Rock,Reggae,Ska,Old school Acid House and of course Big Beat, Nelson has introduced the world to the new sound of electro Indie... this sound heavily is influenced mostly by children's love of dancing and laughter ... so spread the love people....
Zak is described as 'upbeat pop vibes of John Mayer blended with a Latin twist'. He has played at festivals such as Culture Tech, NxNw in Derry, Ramsbottom Festival and Feile an Phobail Unplugged which took

Re: travel expenses
I would contact the California Dept. of Industrial Relations, Labor Standards Enforcement Agency (not sure of exact name) and see if their enforcement powers go to reimbursement of employee expenses.
If not, or perhaps even if they do, I'd recommend patience and occasional re-inquiry so the company doesn't forget you're waiting.
Suit is a last resort, but if you're based in Colorado and the company is in California, or vice-versa, it is going to be difficult and perhaps too expensive. Also not good for your promotion prospects.
