Final Fantasy XI releases version update minus crafting
Fantasy, Final Fantasy XI, Expansions, Game Mechanics, Patches, Crafting
Well, maybe we should just be happy the Summoner updates went live now. The much-discussed November version update for Final Fantasy XI was released today, but it's lacking something that had just recently been announced -- namely, the entire evolith and synergy system that was promised to be dropped along with the version update. Square-Enix officially stated that the change is coming in another version update past mid-November. And, sadly, it gets a little worse before it gets better -- one of the promised ranger changes, reduced threat from ranged attacks at longer distances, has been nixed.
But let's not dwell on the negatives, really. After all, the crafting is coming soon enough, and it's not as if this update was sparse on content to begin with. There are a pile of new quests available, new improvements to the Moblin Maze Mongers service, and all the other updates and job changes we've covered previously. Not to mention that the add-on scenario A Shantotto Ascension is ready to play, something likely to produce at least some joy and spontaneous fits of rhyming. Take a look at the list of official patch notes for all the details, and don't fret -- there's enough content that you're sure to find something to do until mid-November.

I'm disappointed this article didn't rhyme, but I suppose there's always next time.
Aw, shit, I'm still doing it.

My apologies for the lack of rhyme, but it's not appropriate every time. Shantotto, it's true, appears in full force, but the lesser parts need attention, of course. In cases where she shares the stage, whether calmly demure or filled with rage, it's not quite right to mimic her style when making edits to the file.Reply

Nationals beat Dodgers to clinch postseason slot
WASHINGTON Bryce Harper was unaware of the significance of the Washington Nationals' latest victory until the fireworks started going off and he was handed a playoff T-shirt and hat.
"I said, `Well, I guess we're going to the playoffs,'" the 19-year-old center fielder said.
Yup, that's right. Postseason baseball is returning to the nation's capital for the first time since 1933.
The Nationals used Ross Detwiler's six strong innings and Ryan Zimmerman's RBI double to lock up a playoff spot Thursday night with a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"Nats Clinch" flashed on the scoreboard as Washington was ensured of at least an NL wild card, delighting the crowd of 30,359.
"That was fun, but it's not what I had my eye on," manager Davey Johnson said. "I don't want this."
The fans stood and cheered in the ninth inning, then got even louder when Drew Storen struck out Hanley Ramirez to end it. Johnson saluted the crowd as he left the field and the team wore caps and T-shirts acknowledging the playoff berth.
"I noticed like in the fifth or sixth, some signs, some different things that kind of keyed me into that this wasn't going to be an ordinary evening," Jayson Werth said.
"That was not an ordinary win."
Washington's magic number to win the NL East was reduced to eight. The Nationals lead idle Atlanta by 5 1/2 games.
"We've been through a lot and a lot of us in here have been through a lot of not-good times and these are the beginning of hope for a lot of good times," Zimmerman said.
Zimmerman is the only Nationals player to appear in each of the team's eight seasons.
"It's a first step, and it's a long ways to go," he said.
Washington became the second team in the majors to clinch a playoff spot this year. Cincinnati earned its slot earlier in the day.
The Nationals celebrated with a private champagne toast. No spraying and no protective plastic over their lockers.
"I think there was some talk about not celebrating at all, but I kind of talked them out of that," Werth said.
"The next one would not be as subdued, I would imagine," Zimmerman said.
Washington last reached the postseason 79 years ago, when player-manager Joe Cronin and the Senators lost to the New York Giants in five games in the World Series.
"I can't remember that year," Johnson said with a laugh.
Until this year, the Nationals had never had a winning season - nor finished above third place - since moving from Montreal for the 2005 season. It will be just the franchise's second postseason berth and its first since the Expos came within a game of the World Series in 1981.
The Nationals lost more than 100 games in both 2008 and 2009, allowing them to draft pitcher Stephen Strasburg and Harper.
The loss dropped the Dodgers three games behind St. Louis for the NL's second wild-card spot. Milwaukee moved ahead of Los Angeles with its win over Pittsburgh.

countries, to comprehensively match accounting budget codes to programmatic activities, and to fully follow the types of partners that ultimately receive funding and implement PEPFAR-supported activities. Nonetheless, the funding data that were available did allow for the insights and observations that were important information for the evaluation, and these finding are presented in this chapter.
As described in Chapter 2, the committee focused most of its data collection and its assessment on the 31 countries that were writing Country Operational Plans (COPs) when the IOM evaluation study process began in 2009.1 As such, in some cases the committee's examination of PEPFAR funding in this chapter is limited to this subset of 31 countries. These countries represented 96 percent of PEPFAR planned funding in FY 2011 (OGAC, 2011d).2 In addition, although the committee reviewed data on PEPFAR funding over time to contribute to this evaluation, the committee was not charged to conduct a financial audit of PEPFAR; that function is performed by the Offices of Inspectors General at the USG agencies responsible for the implementation of PEPFAR programs and activities, including the Department of State (DoS), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
This chapter begins with a brief discussion of the broader global funding environment for HIV/AIDS within which PEPFAR operates as a reflection of the context in which PEPFAR contributes to the HIV response in partner countries. This is followed by an overview of the USG budget and PEPFAR funding processes and a presentation of PEPFAR financial data describing the amount and distribution of funding over time as well as the characteristics of the partner countries that have been recipients of PEPFAR funding. The chapter then presents a brief discussion of the strategic use of PEPFAR resources. The chapter also discusses some questions of interest to the committee that could not be addressed because of limited availability of quality data.
1 The 31 PEPFAR countries submitting Country Operational Plans at the time were the original 15 focus countries (Botswana, Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, Cooperative Republic of Guyana, Republic of Haiti, Republic of Kenya, Republic of Mozambique, Republic of Namibia, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Republic of Rwanda, Republic of South Africa, United Republic of Tanzania, Republic of Uganda, Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and Republic of Zambia) plus the following additional countries: Republic of Angola, Kingdom of Cambodia, People's Republic of China, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dominican Republic, Republic of Ghana, Republic of India, Republic of Indonesia, Kingdom of Lesotho, Republic of Malawi, Russian Federation, Republic of the Sudan, Kingdom of Swaziland, Kingdom of Thailand, the Ukraine, and the Republic of Zimbabwe.
2 Planned/approved funding as reported in the FY 2011 PEPFAR Operational Plan. The committee's sources for this and other types of funding information will be explained throughout the chapter.

Hmmm, Looking at the html source there seems to be some extra markup closing a table that is never started? Is the layout of the welcome / avatar box supposed to be defined with a table?
I think the problem stems from the image being inline with the text, so as the text wraps onto the next line it is flowing below the image. Running a little test, it works for me if I add the following CSS:HTML Code:

Sarah Polley's dramatic features, Away From Her and Take This Waltz , established the Canadian actor/director as an even-handed chronicler of the restless heart's mixed motives.
Aiming her clear, compassionate eye at the mysteries surrounding her late mother, Polley's documentary is a family memoir like no other, dancing around the form the way Waltz did with romcom basics.
First it's a family-tree detective story, then a playful meta-movie, then a maternal melodrama. and along the way, it weaves strong feelings into a dissection of storytelling and truth. That it never behaves as expected is fair warning that it's best to avoid spoilers.
Just know that Polley gathers generations of family members to assemble a portrait of her mum, Diane, an actor who died when Sarah was 11 and, depending on who's asked, may have been tirelessly vivacious or restlessly frustrated.
Either way, the multiplicity of voices never privileges one view, instead giving every contributor their due.
Haunting Super-8 footage further complicates the "truth": Polley Jr recreating much of it with actor Rebecca Jenkins. Which isn't to say the feelings at stake are nebulous.
One contributor calls the approach "woolly" (Polley doesn't censor criticism), but the surprises involving Diane's tragedies and romantic tangles throw some serious emotional sucker-punches.
Diane's former husband Michael jokes through swallowed tears that Polley Jr must be some kind of sado-voyeur; Sarah worries she's naval-gazing.
But she serves food for the head as well as the heart. The insights into identity and storytelling are hinged on a debate with an ageing friend over the 'ownership' of memory.
Best of all, Polley Jr never struggles under the weight of her ambition, bringing a light touch to hefty material. The biggest twist here might be the one cheekily slipped into the credits, opening up whole new avenues of stories.
After this multi-layered revelation, you'd happily hear more.
Amazing stories. Heart- tweaking, brain-teasing and hugely enjoyable, Polley's tangled memoir confirms her as an unflinching anatomist of secrets and lies.

Low-income Moms Can't Afford Diapers, Mental Health Suffers
National Diaper Bank Network announces landmark study
NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 29, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Many low-income mothers cannot afford an adequate supply of diapers and are likely to suffer mental stress that can harm their children, according to a study in the journal Pediatrics.
The stress of not being able to afford diapers was an even stronger predictor of mental health need than food insecurity, data collected for the study showed.
Almost 30 percent of the women surveyed reported that they did not always have enough diapers to change their children as frequently as they wished. Women who reported needing diapers also had more difficulty with stress management, depression and coping with trauma. The study included 877 low-income women."Parental stress and depression can negatively impact children," said Dr. Megan Smith, Assistant Professor at the Yale School of Medicine and the study's principal author. "Many women who had trouble obtaining diapers also reported significant mental distress. Health care providers should recognize diapering difficulties as a serious issue and possibly an indicator of mental health need." "A mother's number-one priority is meeting her children's basic needs. Diapers are a basic need, akin to food and housing. But unlike those other things, there are no public programs parents can turn to for help," said senior author Joanne Goldblum, MSW, executive director of the National Diaper Bank Network. NDBN assists community-based diaper banks around the country that provide diapers to low-income families. Food stamps and Women Infants and Children (WIC) cannot be used to purchase diapers. This research was conducted by the New Haven Mental health Outreach for MotherS (MOMS) Partnership, a community-academic partnership between Yale University and seven local and state agencies. Dr. Smith started MOMS to support low-income mothers after her research demonstrated links between poverty, increased stress levels and mental illness. Certain groups of women were more likely to report difficulty obtaining diapers, including grandmothers who were raising children and Hispanic mothers, the study found.

Hudson Technologies Reports Record Third Quarter Revenues; $0.08 Earnings Per Diluted Share
Hudson Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: HDSN), announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased by 21% to $14,473,000 from $11,935,000 in the comparable 2011 period. Hudson reported a gross profit margin of 37% for the third quarter of 2012 compared to 12% in the third quarter last year. The Company also reported net income of $2,194,000 or $0.09 per basic share and $0.08 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2012, compared to a net loss of $113,000, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share for the third quarter of 2011.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, revenues increased 27% to $51,578,000 as compared to revenues of $40,465,000 in the first nine months of 2011. Gross profit margins increased in the first nine months of 2012 to 42% compared to 19% in the first nine months of 2011. The Company reported a net income of $9,837,000, or $0.41 per basic share and $0.37 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2012, compared to net income of $1,756,000 or $0.07 per basic and diluted share in the same period of 2011.
Kevin J. Zugibe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Technologies commented, "We are pleased to report record revenues achieved during the third quarter and continued strong profitability. We are also pleased to note that our nine month revenues surpass our record 2011 full year revenues. Our 2012 year to date performance continues to be favorably impacted by the EPA's initiative to support the growth of reclamation and recycling by providing meaningful reductions in the production of virgin R-22 refrigerant. In January 2012, the EPA issued 'No Action Assurance' letters that, pending the issuance of a final rule, reduced the 2012 import and production levels for virgin R-22 to approximately 45% of the amount allowed in 2011. In response to these reductions, we saw an immediate and significant increase in the sales price of R-22 refrigerant. With only two months remaining in 2012, the EPA's final rule may not be issued until early 2013.

Strings in JavaScript Part 2 (String handling- dissecting, splitting, and searching)
In Part 1 of Strings in JavaScript, we looked at how to format text using JavaScript, and along the way uncovered a hidden talent of the language. In this follow-up/ concluding tutorial, things get a bit grittier as we venture into the string itself, and learn how to slice and dice 'em . Let's get the ball rolling..
String handling in JavaScript
String handling basically means the dissecting and manipulation of a piece of string (not to be confused with string formatting). Some people devote their entire careers to this task, though as JavaScripters, we aren't known to exhibit such loyalty to the topic (or any other, for that matter!). In this tutorial, we'll look at the methods of the String object that deal with string handling, such as looking up a particular substring within a string, splitting it into many, and more.

"Metastatic melanoma has a devastating prognosis and is one of the top causes of cancer death in young patients," says Keith Flaherty, MD, director of Developmental Therapeutics at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Cancer Center, lead and corresponding author of the NEJM article. "Until now, available therapies were few and unreliable, so these findings can really change the outlook for patients whose tumors are fueled by this mutation."
Although surgical removal is usually successful in treating early-stage melanoma, once the skin tumor has spread to other sites in the body, the outlook has been grim. The two FDA-approved drugs – interleukin-2 and dacarbazine – produce a response in only 10 to 20 percent of patients. The current prognosis for survival in metastatic melanoma is 9 months or less, with 9,000 people dying in the U.S. each year.
The role in melanoma of the BRAF mutation – which keeps the protein constantly activated and driving cell growth – was discovered in 2002 by researchers at the Sanger Institute in Britain. Flaherty – who was then at the University of Pennsylvania Abramson Cancer Center – began to explore whether drugs targeting the mutation might interfere with tumor growth. After one potential drug was not effective, he began working in collaboration with Paul Chapman, MD, of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York to study PLX4032, an agent developed by Plexxikon and licensed to Roche Pharmaceuticals. Initial trial results were disappointing, but a new formulation that increased the bioavailability of PLX4032 proved to have rapid results that are being reported in the NEJM paper.
The initial stage of the study – led by Flaherty, Chapman and colleagues at six sites in the U.S. and Australia – was designed to establish the effective dose. It enrolled 55 cancer patients, most with metastatic melanoma, who received escalating doses of PLX4032 until unacceptable side effects occurred. BRAF mutations were present in the melanomas of 16 participants in the latter part of this stage, and in 11 of those patients, tumors quickly shrank or, in one instance, disappeared. Three participants with BRAF-mutated thyroid cancers also had their tumors shrink or stabilize in response to PLX4032 treatment.
The second stage enrolled 32 patients with BRAF-mutated melanoma who received the PLX4032 dosage established in the first phase: 960 mg twice a day. In 26 of those participants, tumors shrank more than 30 percent, meeting the criteria for clinical response, and completely disappeared in two. Since another two participants had some reduction in the size of their tumors, Flaherty projects that PLX4032 appears to shrink tumors in approximately 90 percent of patients with BRAF-mutated melanomas.
"One of the things that make these results truly remarkable is that this drug works so reliably," he explains. "And patients who have been experiencing symptoms like pain and fatigue begin to feel better within a week of starting treatment, giving them a much better quality of life.
As seen in trials of other targeted cancer treatments, resistance to PLX4032 developed in the tumors of many participants, leading to resumed tumor growth. Currently tumor suppression has been maintained from about three months to longer than two years, with an average progression-free survival of eight months, and follow-up studies are exploring how resistance occurs and potential strategies to get around it. Two additional MGH-based clinical trials are now underway – a phase 2 study in patients unsuccessfully treated with the FDA-approved drugs, enrollment for which is complete, and a larger phase 3 study that compares PLX4032 with dacarbazine in newly diagnosed patients.
"Until now, we've never had a credible first treatment option for metastatic melanoma, so this has completely transformed how we approach treatment for patients with the BRAF mutation," says Flaherty, who is a member of the Harvard Medical School faculty. "Although we don't know how long response may last, the ability to beat this disease down in the short term will buy us time to strategize second-line therapies and design the next generation of trials."
Along with senior author Paul Chapman, MD, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, co-authors of the NEJM article are Igor Puzanov, MD, and Jeffrey Sosman, PhD, Vanderbilt University; Kevin Kim, MD, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center; Antoni Ribas, MD, University of California at Los Angeles; Grant McArthur, MB, BS, PhD, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, East Melbourne, Australia; Peter O'Dwyer, MD, University of Pennsylvania Abramson Cancer Center; Richard Lee, MD, PhD, and Joseph Grippo, Roche Pharmaceuticals, and Keith Nolop, MD, Plexxikon. The study was funded by Plexxikon and Roche.
Massachusetts General Hospital, established in 1811, is the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. The MGH conducts the largest hospital-based research program in the United States, with an annual research budget of more than $600 million and major research centers in AIDS, cardiovascular research, cancer, computational and integrative biology, cutaneous biology, human genetics, medical imaging, neurodegenerative disorders, regenerative medicine, systems biology, transplantation biology and photomedicine.

My mind is playing tricks on me...
|Fri, 03-23-2012 - 11:12am
I hate to put a negative messge, but I'm guessing that if I'm feeling like this, someone else probably is too.
|Mon, 03-26-2012 - 2:04pm
I am right there with you!! I have had tiredness and sore BB's at the very beginning. Not too much of anything right now! Last time I had already lost 5 lbs from throwing up so much. I am still tired, and believe me I am thankful I can still eat. It just seems like since I had MS with all 3 pregnancies that I should have it again? My doc doesn't see me until 10-12 weeks which will be May 1st! I am trying to focus on one day at a time, but I so want that ultrasound to calm me!
|Mon, 03-26-2012 - 11:39am
I'm the "google queen" so I probably know more than I need to, but just enough to be dangerous. lol And then I got this email update from "What to Expect" this morning telling me that women who are nauseous are less likely to have a miscarriage. :-O I was like "what?!" Don't put that in a mass email like that. I'm not having any morning sickness type symptoms. That does not help me to read that at all. But it helps when I remind myself that my Grandmother didn't have any sickness or symptoms, no cravings, no nothing, with either of her pregnancies. My best friend from high school also had 2 m/s free pregnancies. As well as a coworkers wife. I don't think they should have said that in the email thing. I read about a blighted ovum the other day and thought, oh my, what if that happens? I won't know until later. What would I do? ugh. Other than being thirsty and the sore bbs...I've got nothing. Tomorrow I will be 6w.
|Sun, 03-25-2012 - 4:08pm
Don't worry - I've had the same issue - though not because I haven't had any symptoms but I because this is my first pregnancy and I probably know more than should at this point because I'm a medical person. I pretty much had myself convinced that its just a blighted ovum the other day because you can still have pregnancy symptoms with it. The waiting for the first appointment and REAL confirmation that there's really something going on in there is the hard part I think! I'm just glad I'm not the only one. April 3rd is my 1st appt. It has seemed like and eternity waiting for it!

value for money, WiFi is OK, quiet place. staff tried their best.
below the three stars given, facilities is too poor and need renewal breakfast seems to be for 1 star hotel.
The owner and staff were very attentive to guests' needs. It is a clean and quiet hotel not too far from the center of Ramallah. I would recommend Retno for any traveller.
Availabilty of staff and facilities.
The rooms were nice and fairly clean. Luxurious for the price.
The staff was completely unaware of the content of my reservation. I had to re-negotiate the fact that I had reserved 2 rooms with 1 extra bed for each room, enabling accomodation for 6. Unless they are better informed about reservation, I would not want to book this hotel again. Also, a bit far from Al Manara. Takes about 40 min to walk. Wasn't a concern of mine, but might be for some.
location; no elevator; only one sheet on the bed
A/C, Heater are Bad. sometimes lag of hot water.
We liked the description on booking.com. Unfortunately it bears no resemblance to the actual hotel.
How much time have you got? We felt as though we were getting in their way as we booked in. Despite advertising A/C we were bluntly told that we were the first people to request it and that it wasn't needed ie they didn't want to turn it on! They showed us another room that apparently did have A/C but it genuinely looked as if the room had been left untouched for several years. After enquiring whether lunch was available (as advertised in reception) it soon became apparent that it was not going to be an option. Instead we went to look at the swimming pool but in our reluctance to contract dysentery we thought twice about it and decided against going for a dip. Instead we decided to head into town, just a 15 minute walk away. Not even Mo Farah on steroids could get into the town centre in 15 minutes - it's a good 10 min taxi ride costing 15 shekel! The room itself was basic though we didn't like to ask when the blanket was last cleaned. The satellite tv seemed to have a good selection of channels, if Arabic pornography is your cup of tea. The sound of the creaking bathroom was drowned out by the late night disco which took place below our room. We were asked to use the back stairs so as to avoid it! This epitomised the complete lack of customer service we experienced throughout our stay. Even ordering a taxi for us seemed to be a hardship. In short, we would not recommend this place to anyone!

.- While presenting the Knight's annual report on Tuesday, Supreme Knight Carl Anderson insisted that health care reform measures must not "become a vehicle for taking lives through abortion and euthanasia."
The Supreme Knight noted that by including an abortion mandate, the government is going against the majority of Americans who favor restrictions on abortion.
"If people were allowed to choose; 86% of the American people would choose to significantly restrict abortion," Anderson said citing a Knights of Columbus poll. A Gallup poll conducted from May 7 to May 10 reported that 51 percent of Americans now call themselves "pro-life," while only 42 percent call themselves "pro-choice." Self-described pro-lifers had never made up a majority of survey respondents since Gallup started asking the question in 1995.
"A health care system designed to save lives on the one hand must not become a vehicle for taking lives through abortion and euthanasia," Anderson said.
He also discussed the Knight's ultrasound initiative, which assists in purchasing ultrasound equipment for pregnancy clinics.
"The Ultrasound Project saves lives. Up to 90% of women considering abortion choose to have their babies after seeing an Ultrasound image. They hear their baby's heartbeat; they see their baby's head and fingers. They know that their baby is a child, not a choice," the Supreme Knight explained.
He continued, "And here's the best part: you can't change that decision for life by an executive order. It can't be reversed by a court decision. Once the baby is born, mother and her baby have won. The Culture of Life has won. All of us have won."
In the past year, nine ultrasound machines have been donated to clinics in several states, with the goal of putting "at least one ultrasound machine in every jurisdiction in the Order this year."

December 19, 2014
Knoxville (AP) -- A reactor at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant near Chattanooga was shut down as a precaution after a feedwater pump malfunctioned.
Operators shut down the Unit 2 Reactor Tuesday after noticing the problem.
TVA said it posed no danger to employees or the public.
The pump supplies water to a steam generator at the plant.

It was the most "glorious" of times, it was the most "disastrous" of times. It was the age of cancellation notices, it was the age of lower-than-expected premiums. It was the epoch of skimpy provider networks, it was the epoch of free birth control for all.
The Affordable Care Act is either the best or most evil thing to happen to humanity, depending who you ask (and how much their premium went up). 2013 was marked by the sputtering launch of Healthcare.gov and the start of the law's nervous implementation. But this year we should begin to see if, and how well, the law is working toward its goal of providing access to healthcare for all. Here are some of the key questions that will determine if Obamacare is seen as a horror or a boon — or something in between.
1) Does health insurance become more affordable for most?
Are most people able to get affordable insurance? This is the most basic question, but also the one that incites middle-class people to grab their pitchforks and write to journalists when the answer is "no."
Obamacare ended health insurance price discrimination based on health conditions and offers subsidies to low- and middle-income people to buy health insurance. However, there are signs that people are finding much higher prices on the individual market. And employer-sponsored insurance also seems to be getting more expensive (but it gets pricier every year, anyway.)
This is, in a way, part of the law's design:
"Put bluntly, the Affordable Care Act's changes are raising insurance premiums for some people who did well under the old system and lowering them for many of the people who were locked out or discriminated against," as Sarah Kliff wrote.
The question is, will there be more jubilant stories of the previously-locked-out-gaining-coverage than sob stories of the now-paying-more-for-insurance?
This will be an especially important issue for the thousands of people who received cancellation notices in the autumn because their existing plans did not meet the requirements of the law. The Obama administration offered a last-minute reprieve, saying those affected could stay on their plans, but that grace period ends in October 2014.
"Still, there are bound to be enough people who previously had something better," as Garance Franke-Ruta wrote, "that concerns and objections will continue into the new year."
2) Will people be able to see the doctors they want, when they want?
Even as millions of people gain insurance, they may have trouble getting a doctors' appointment — especially for a primary-care doctor. The Association of American Medical Colleges predicts the country will be 91,500 physicians short by 2020. There's also evidence that some of the plans on the new exchanges have narrow networks that exclude popular regional hospitals.
For a bad-case scenario, look no further than Massachusetts, which enacted universal healthcare seven years ago. Now, only half of its primary care doctors accept new patients.
Part of the solution lies not with Obamacare, but with Congress: Medical organizations are urging lawmakers to raise the cap on residencies so that more doctors can be trained.
3) How will Medicaid expansion impact the poor?
Though more than 2 million Americans have enrolled in private health plans since October 1, far more — roughly 4 million — signed up for Medicaid, the health insurance program for the poor that was greatly expanded under Obamacare, with the federal government picking up much of the tab.
But only half the states are expanding Medicaid, raising the possibility that a less-robust healthcare safety net in the states that refused could lead to lasting health disparities. Meanwhile, states that are doing the expansion worry about the cost — they'll have to start paying for 10 percent of the bill for the new enrollees starting in 2020 — and about access issues — more than a third of doctors say they won't see Medicaid patients.
The law boosted reimbursements for primary care doctors who do take Medicaid, but the raise only lasts for two years.

"However, a great deal of the thrust of stereotyping research has been to demonstrate that these behavioral expectancies are overgeneralized and inaccurate predictors of actual behavior of the target individual (Darley & Fazio, 1980, p. 870).
"The term stereotype refers to those interpersonal beliefs and expectancies that are both widely shared and generally invalid" (Miller & Turnbull, 1986, p. 233).
"The problem is that stereotypes about groups of people are overgeneralizations and are either inaccurate or do not apply to the individual group member in question ... categorization can lead to oversimplification and distortion ... In such instances, people tend to perceive members of the other group as all alike or to expect them to be all alike, which they never are" (APA Brief, 1991, "Assigning identical characteristics to any person in a group, regardless of the actual variation among members of that group" (Aronson's, 1999 definition of stereotype, p. 307).

Sending an SOS: Help on the farm
Likewise sub-Mendoza is Hundley at .194, challenged with learning to handle much better pitchers as both a catcher and a hitter. On the other hand, Venable (.287, three homers, 19 RBI) has been a bit of a pleasant surprise for the Padres, who would love to put the Jim Edmonds debacle behind them and have a homegrown player of Venable's range chasing down fly balls in Petco's exasperatingly oversized center field.
All of the four, not incidentally, were on the Double-A club that went from worst to first for the Texas League title last year. They had a truly epic summer, and for a major league franchise whose logo denotes the San Diego surf, they are the next wave.
"When you get around guys as long we've been together," Headley said, "you get comfortable with them, you learn to win with them and lose with them, you form bonds. Hopefully, in the near future, we can get over the hump and you're going to see the products of a much-improved farm system."

A while ago, I wrote on the rainbo blog how one of the most empowering and exciting elements of running one's own business - however small - is the freedom to choose where you spend your profits. In other words, to be able to give money gained by your toils to the cause of your choice. For me, this is one of the fundamental bonuses of setting up your own for-profit company, and one that is all too often overlooked in the food industry.

Governor Dayton has signed a bill into law that increases the stipends paid to Honor Guard members for attending veterans' funerals in Minnesota. The Honor Guard program reimburses veterans organizations to assist with payment for military funeral honors. The new legislation approved by the governor and authored by Waseca Senator Mike Parry raises participating Honor Guard stipends from $35 to $50 per-day. The issue came to light last fall over concerns that state funding for Honor Guard detail was to be discontinued due to budget cuts.

48 Things We Learned from the 'Casino Royale' CommentaryCommentary Commentary By Kevin Carr on December 6, 2012 | Comments (3)
And you thought we were done with James Bond articles for a while, didn't you? Not so. With Skyfall continuing to tear up the box office in both North America and overseas, and with it officially becoming the highest-grossing Bond film in the domestic market, it's not going away. Add to this the fact that MGM is giving the film a push for award consideration (a long shot, sure, but that theme song by Adele certainly has a chance to win something), and you've still got Bond on the brain a month after the film opened. It's time to look back to one of Bond's beginnings. Not the books, and not the start of the film franchise in the 1960s. Instead, let's crack open the DVD of Casino Royale, which rebooted the franchise from the rocky path it was on behind frontman Pierce Brosnan. For the Collector's Edition of the Casino Royale DVD and Blu-ray, which came out in 2008, director Martin Campbell explains in the then-new how the series was given a new start. He is joined by the film's producer. There will, of course, be spoilers for Casino Royale below, but you might also want to make sure you see Skyfall before reading this in its entirety, considering there are one or two interesting connections between the films. And on to the commentary…
Countdown to 'Skyfall': Ten Ways 'Skyfall' Copies Other Bond Movies (But It's Totally Okay)Countdown to Skyfall By Kevin Carr on November 7, 2012 | Comments (1)
After wading through the MGM bankruptcy hiatus, pre-production, principal photography, marketing and release anticipation, the latest James Bond adventure is finally upon us. (If you live outside of the U.S., there's actually a good chance that this wait ended a week or two ago, but we'll let that go.) Skyfall hits theaters early in IMAX on November 8 and then in wide theatrical release on November 9. Now you have a chance to finally see the brand new, completely original Bond. Sort of. One of the great things about Bond movies is they have a certain level of familiarity. If made well, you can expect some common elements that make it feel like a quintessential Bond film. Sure, we all like originality, but you can trust almost any James Bond film to cover familiar territory. Here's a James Bond history lesson and how it relates to the upcoming film.
The 10 Key Ingredients of a James Bond MovieCountdown to Skyfall By Kevin Carr on October 10, 2012 | Be the First To Comment
If you want to make the perfect Vesper, you'll follow James Bond's off-the-cuff recipe with the key elements of Gordon's gin, vodka, Kina Lillet, and slice of lemon peel. If you want to make a memorable James Bond movie, you'll include the key elements in the franchise's recipe which has been honed over the past 50 years. Sure, there are plenty of Bond films that have deviated from the full recipe. Some elements have been left out of films intentionally to reset the Bond actor (I'm looking at you, Live and Let Die). Other times they have been downplayed for a fresh view of the series (such as 2006's Casino Royale reboot). And sadly, there have been moments when the missing elements were left out completely or flubbed (like the sometimes awkward Quantum of Solace). However, every good Bond movie has most – if not all – of these key elements that make up the great recipe for the entire franchise.
Know Your Bond: A Guide to the Actors Who Played 007Countdown to Skyfall By Kevin Carr on September 26, 2012 | Comments (2)
Not only are FSR's resident Bond nerds (specifically yours truly and my partner in espionage, Brian Salisbury) gearing up for the release of Skyfall in November, but we are also rubbing our hands together with anticipation of opening our new Bond 50 Blu-ray box sets that came out this week. Since we're in the movie news business, we can watch all 22 of these films, we can chalk up the 40+ hours of movie watching to a full work week. We bet you're feeling an extreme amount of jealousy right now (or an extreme amount of pity for us… not quite sure which). But as we prepare to watch all the James Bond movies again, we'll also reflect upon the different actors who have played James Bond in the past. Here's a quick breakdown of the legendary (and one not-so-legendary) Bond actors over the years. Fortunately, since Daniel Craig has signed on for some additional post-Skyfall movies, this piece should still be relevant for a while, and that's a valuable commodity in the ever-changing world of the Internet.
Celebrate 50 Years of Sex, Gadgets, and Martinis With This James Bond Drinking GameDrinking Games By Kevin Carr on September 25, 2012 | Comments (1)
This year, film fans celebrate the 50th anniversary of James Bond on the silver screen. In 1962, Sean Connery became a legend as Ian Fleming's dashing secret agent in Dr. No. Now, with the impending release of Skyfall in November, MGM and Fox are releasing all 22 James Bond films in a giant Blu-ray box set. If you start watching them now, you just might get through all of the films by the release of Skyfall. But pace yourself because the 46 hours of films – from Dr. No to Quantum of Solace – can be pretty powerful when mixed with this drinking game and a few martinis (or Vespers, if you so choose).
License To Quiz: 21 Trivial Facts All Bond Fans Should KnowCountdown to Skyfall By Brian Salisbury on September 19, 2012 | Comments (6)
This is a glorious year, and not just because we're like 56% sure that the Mayans are incorrect with their calculation that the world will end. Their apocalyptic inaccuracy notwithstanding, this November, the sky will fall. For this, ladies and junior mints, is the year of Skyfall. Any year that boasts the release of a new James Bond film is one of note. But the turmoil experienced by MGM, which jeopardized this celebrated franchise's future, it's especially exciting to be but mere months away from the release of the twenty-third installment. Here at FSR, we are Bond nerds. More specifically Mr. Kevin Carr and myself are absolute James Bond freaks. We will therefore be celebrating the impending release of Skyfall every week with various articles about the Bond universe until that fateful November 9th. To kick things off, we thought we'd help you hold your own against Bond nerds you may encounter in your own life. The great thing about these films is that no matter your level of cinephilia, if you've resided on planet Earth throughout a goodly portion of your life you are bound to have seen at least one or two of 007's movies. We'd even hazard you've liked a couple. However, whenever you cross paths with someone as obsessed with Britain's deadliest cinematic spy as Kevin and I are, calling yourself a fan is an invitation for interrogation. Immediately they will begin firing trivia questions at you designed to test your Bond mettle. Here are a […]
Duncan Jones Trades the Future For the Past to Direct Ian Fleming BiopicMovie News By Rob Hunter on May 20, 2012 | Comments (1)
Duncan Jones burst onto the scene three years ago with his debut film, Moon, a quiet slice of science-fiction perfection that featured Sam Rockwell as a lone space station astronaut counting down the days to his return to Earth. Jones followed that up two years later with the sci-fi thriller Source Code. It was a far more traditional film than its predecessor, but there was still lots of speculative fun to be found. Sophomore slump successfully averted the question became what would Jones do next? He was rumored for several projects (including the Superman reboot) and has spoke openly of his plans to return to the sci-fi genre with his original script, Mute. Per Variety, Jones has signed on to direct a biopic about 007 creator, Ian Fleming. The film will follow Andrew Lycett's biography "Ian Fleming, The Man Behind James Bond," but there's no confirmation yet if it will focus on a singular section of Fleming's life or be more all-encompassing. Fleming worked briefly as a journalist before finding his niche in British Naval Intelligence during WWII, and later went on to create the most famous fictional spy in the world.

A suspect was taken into custody.
The shooting at Black Road Auto was reported about 4 p.m., and all four victims were dead by the time police and medics arrived, Police Chief Danny Macagni told the Santa Maria Times.
The victims, whose names were not immediately released, were shot at close range, Macagni said. One victim was found outside the junk yard, and three were found inside.
The gun used in the shooting was found at the scene.
"This is a case of workplace violence," the chief said. "We have a lot of work to do here. We have a very large crime scene."
Police aided by California Highway Patrol helicopters searched the area to see whether there were more victims. Macagni said police believed there was "a sole suspect that entered the premises and fired the shots."
Santa Maria is a city of 92,000 people 150 miles northwest of Los Angeles, in northwestern Santa Barbara County.
