Jørgen Glenthøj Mayor of Frederiksberg
The City of Frederiksberg is a modern, metropolitan local authority with the characteristics of a major city. First and foremost, however, Frederiksberg is a residential area with all service provisions included. The many parks and leisure facilities in the city provide the Capital with a green oasis characterised by a special, historic charm.
Frederiksberg's area is nine square kilometres, which makes it the smallest and the most densely populated local authority in the country, with a density of about 10,000 inhabitants per square kilometre.
History in short Frederiksberg's history dates back to 1651 when King Frederik III gave 20 peasants of Dutch origin from Amager the right to settle and cultivate the previously royal land around Allégade. King Frederik IV built Frederiksberg Castle between 1699 and 1703 as a country residence for the royal family. At the same time the city at the foot of the castle hill became known as Frederiksberg. Frederiksberg was given its local self-government in 1858, and it rapidly began to grow in population. From 1919, the authority appointed its own mayor and city council. From the beginning of the 20th Century and in the following 40-50 years the urban development continued in Frederiksberg. Around 1950 the city was almost fully developed and the number of citizens reached 120.000 - the highest ever. Frederiksberg was - and still is - characterized by extensive villa districts and spacious blocks of flats. Here you can read a more detailed description of the history of Frederiksberg.
Development and change Although Frederiksberg appears to be a fully developed city, it is still a place of continuous change. As a consequence of the improved infrastructure (the Metro, the Circular Line and busses), the areas around the new stations (i.e. Forum, Frederiksberg, Fasanvej, Lindevang and Flintholm) have undergone and are still undergoing a rapid development.
The new Frederiksberg Gymnasium, the extension to the existing Library and the new Falkoner Cinema Centre are examples of this development. Shops and housing are under construction bringing life and activities to the area. Copenhagen Business School (CBS) has in 2006 opened a new building for teaching and research purposes. A green campus has been created outside the CBS combining the two stations Frederiksberg and Fasanvej; designed to maintain Frederiksberg as an environmentally orientated city.
Urban renewal The city of Frederiksberg is responsible for a large part of the urban landscape such as roads, green zones, public transport, the fire services and the environmental protection. The city has supervised a very careful and sensitive restoration of some of its many older buildings. This urban renewal will continue, combined with new construction for both residential and business purposes.
Around Flintholm Station a whole new area with industry and housing is being established. This area will have shops, restaurants and cafes, housing for the young and the old, squares, parks, industry and public institutions and a shopping centre. To accommodate pedestrians and cyclists, a green cycle- and footpath has been built in the local area. The path is passing through green zones and provides road safety for many people travelling across the city.
Frederiksberg Have and Søndermarken are two centrally placed parks next to the ZOO, which is currently being enlarged by a new elephant house designed by Norman Foster and a new "savanna" bordering Frederiksberg Have.

Ann Coulter Is Afraid of Canadians
- Ann Coulter
• A speech by Ann Coulter at the University of Ottawa was canceled last night because a crowd of student protesters was deemed "physically dangerous" to her. The students were angry about remarks she had made on Monday night at another Canadian university, in which she said all Muslims should be banned from airplanes, and suggested they travel instead by flying carpet or camel. [Maclean's]
• Yet another porn star, Devon James, has come forward to say she had an affair with Tiger Woods. He allegedly seduced her with the same sweet, poetic line he used on porn star Joslyn James: "I want you to be my whore." Lord Byron eat your heart out. [NY Daily News]
• Remember how the American people supposedly hated the health-care bill? Now that it has passed, a healthy (no pun intended) majority say they actually like it. [USA Today]
• After one of the most unnecessarily drawn-out casting decisions ever, Chris Evans (of Fantastic Four fame) has been chosen to play Captain America, whose powers include being totally oblivious to the fact that he's the corniest superhero ever. [NY Times]
• Comedian and actor Aziz Ansari will host the 2010 MTV Movie Awards in June. Apparently the Jersey Shore cast wasn't available, so the network went for the next-biggest star it has groomed in the past five years (Ansari co-created and co-starred in the MTV show Human Giant and is now on NBC's Parks and Recreation).

In fact, this is common at immigration field offices all over the country, according to testimony by Tammy Cyr-Talbot, a supervisor at ICE headquarters in Washington, D.C., who took the stand in a similar case in Denver. "Sometimes I've seen where a piece of paper has been put over the reference, and then a photocopy is submitted," she testified in January 2008.
But in Peter's case, the government skipped a step. ICE officials neglected to white-out his form, instead sending the whole, unedited version to the Ugandan embassy. (Embassy officials didn't respond to an interview request).
From his home office in Lafayette, Jim Salvator has spent more than two decades helping immigrants find a legal haven in the United States. Peter tried for months to hire Salvator — known for both his success and his soft spot for pro bono cases — with his failed asylum case, but the attorney kept saying it was a lost cause. Until one day in 2004, when Peter mentioned his phone call to the embassy.
"Well, that's different," Salvator said.
The government's failure to edit Peter's paperwork was a blatant breach of confidentiality, Salvator reasoned. And because it put Peter in grave danger if he were returned to Uganda, it was grounds for him to be granted asylum.
By coincidence, a few days before Peter called the Ugandan embassy, the non-profit watchdog Human Rights Watch had released a new report on political conditions in Uganda — and the news wasn't good. "State of Pain: Torture in Uganda" described how, in the name of rooting out armed rebels, Uganda's military and security officers were torturing ordinary civilians who opposed the reigning political party. Suspects were being held in secret prisons, just like the one Peter had endured.
"Politicians challenging the de facto single-party state and the 18-year rule of Uganda's president, Yoweri Museveni, are often detained, severely beaten and threatened with death by the uncontrolled security apparatus," the report said.
Since 2001, the use of torture as an interrogation tool has become more common in the country, and victims were often suspended from the ceiling with their hands and feet tied behind their backs, beaten with hammers and sticks studded with nails, forced to endure genital mutilation, or made to lie face up while water from an open spigot poured into their mouths, the report continued.
Human Rights Watch investigators interviewed more than twenty current and former prisoners about their experiences. A man named James, who had worked on the campaign of the opposition presidential candidate Kizza Besigye, described being placed on the floor and blindfolded. Then "they poured water over him and beat him with wire cables. They beat him all over his body, stepped on him with their boots, and hit him in the head with a board with nails on it; he has three scars on his head," the report reads.
Even the U.S. State Department admitted that the situation in Uganda was deteriorating. In 2004, the department wrote that "there were widespread and credible reports that security forces tortured and beat suspects in unregistered detention facilities to force confessions." In fact, the Uganda Human Rights Commission had received more than 2,200 complaints of mistreatment by security forces; 179 of those incidents involved torture, according to the State Department. That year, 128 Ugandans applied for asylum in the United States.
For Peter, the stakes were especially high. "The Internal Security Organization here knows him as a rebel who wants to overthrow the government by the use of arms," John Ken-Lukyamuzi, president of the Conservative Party, wrote to the U.S. Justice Department in 1998, in support of Peter. (Ken-Lukyamuzi still leads the party.)
All of this helped convince the Board of Immigration Appeals in Virginia and U.S District Judge Marcia Krieger in Denver to reopen Peter's case. And when new hearings began, Salvator says he was amazed at how ICE officials explained their practices.
Denise Cordova, a local ICE deportation officer, testified that she had sent the Ugandan embassy Peter's paperwork, and although she didn't send his whole asylum file — as Peter originally claimed — she did admit to sending a judge's order of removal that "was not completely redacted."
"We did not take out everything that's pertained to...asylum," she testified. "His application for voluntary departure [that] was denied, his asylum denial, and then the application for withholding of removal that was denied."
"The truth began to seep out," Salvator says. "Since then, we've been winning."
As the months passed and Peter began to understand what had happened in his case, it also became clear that he was not alone.
Germain, who spent six years working for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, says that during that time, she heard of approximately ten cases where the confidentiality of an asylum applicant was breached. Typically, the mistake occurred during the U.S. government's request for travel documents.
But of greater concern, she says, is how many cases never get reported, because most people never see the paper trail that reveals the problem. By the time their clients are being deported, immigration lawyers have already lost their cases. They don't usually follow up to see what happens afterward.

On the contrary I also know of colleges that do show openness to try out alternatives. It depends partly on how you make the argument and partly on general openness of mind of persons responsible. Firstly, when asking for option, one should indeed ask it as an _option_, not a _substitute_ to whole existing setup. Having got such "favor" one should succeed in demonstrating the value add due to the choice that has been offered to so that others too slowly get interested in it. Somewhat like the stone soup story ... (Search web for this folk story if you haven't heard!) Secondly the worries of administrative staff at such places are about the maintenance and support of things that they don't know about and have never been into. Sufficient volunteering is required, by say a students group, to devote time to this etc. Mayuresh.

Islam Siddiqui Appointed
April 1, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
President Obama on Saturday announced the recess appointment of 15 political appointees whose nominations had been stalled by Republicans.
"The United States Senate has the responsibility to approve or disapprove of my nominees. But if, in the interest of scoring political points, Republicans in the Senate refuse to exercise that responsibility, I must act in the interest of the American people and exercise my authority to fill these positions on an interim basis," Obama said in a statement.
"Most of the men and women whose appointments I am announcing today were approved by Senate committees months ago, yet still await a vote of the Senate. At a time of economic emergency, two top appointees to the Department of Treasury have been held up for nearly six months. I simply cannot allow partisan politics to stand in the way of the basic functioning of government."
The 15 newly appointed nominees are:
* Jeffrey Goldstein: Nominee for Under Secretary for Domestic Finance, Department of the Treasury
* Michael F. Mundaca: Nominee for Assistant Secretary for Tax Policy, Department of the Treasury
* Eric L. Hirschhorn: Nominee for Under Secretary of Commerce for Export Administration and head of the Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce
* Michael Punke: Nominee for Deputy Trade Representative – Geneva, Office of the United States Trade Representative
* Francisco "Frank" J. Sánchez: Nominee for Under Secretary for International Trade, Department of Commerce
* Islam A. Siddiqui: Nominee for Chief Agricultural Negotiator, Office of the U.S. Trade Representative
* Alan D. Bersin: Nominee for Commissioner, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Department of Homeland Security
* Jill Long Thompson: Nominee for Member, Farm Credit Administration Board
* Rafael Borras: Nominee for Under Secretary for Management , Department of Homeland Security
* Craig Becker: Nominee for Board Member, National Labor Relations Board
* Mark Pearce: Nominee for Board Member, National Labor Relations Board
* Jacqueline A. Berrien: Nominee for Chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
* Chai R. Feldblum: Nominee for Commissioner, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
* Victoria A. Lipnic: Nominee for Commissioner, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
* P. David Lopez: Nominee for General Counsel, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
In a post to the White House blog that accompanied Obama's announcement, spokeswoman Jen Psaki wrote that the president "was no longer willing to let another month go by with key economic positions unfilled, especially at a time when our country is recovering from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression."
Article II, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution gives the president the right to unilaterally fill any vacancy that would normally require Senate confirmation when the Senate is in recess.
Unlike appointments that are confirmed by the Senate, recess appointments only last until the end of the next session of Congress, which right now would mean until the end of 2011.
Obama had been widely expected to recess appoint Becker and Pearce to the labor relations board. As Jason Linkins wrote in the Huffington Post on Friday, GOP opposition to Obama's nominees had left the board with only two of its five members, which has led to a lot of one-to-one ties.
Some of the other appointments are to critical positions, such as the two Treasury candidates whose nominations had been stalled.
And some were being obstructed for particularly outrageous reasons. As Ryan Grim recently reported for the Huffington Post, the two trade nominees — Bunke and Siddiqui — were being blocked by Kentucky Republican Sen. Jim Bunning because he is opposed to a tobacco-related law passed by the Canadian Parliament.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), was particularly eloquent on that matter on the Senate floor two weeks ago: "The Senator from Kentucky has said he doesn't have any objection to these nominees. He's only blocking the nominations as leverage against the President and [U.S. Trade Representative Ron] Kirk. That is pure obstructionism."
Obama nevertheless shied away from what would have been some more controversial recess appointments. He did not unilaterally install any of his blocked nominees to the Justice Department, including Dawn Johnsen, his nominee to run the Office of Legal Counsel, and Chris Schroeder, his nominee to be assistant attorney general for legal policy — both of whom are beloved by progressives but reviled by Republicans. He also chose not to recess appoint one of his senior Treasury nominees, Lael Brainard, nominated for undersecretary of international affairs, who has run into some tax issues.
That Obama would use his recess appointment powers isn't a surprise. According to the Congressional Research Service, President George W. Bush made 171 recess appointments; President Clinton made 139.
Until Saturday, Obama hadn't made any — despite Republican obstruction so intense that even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in early February essentially begged Obama to do an end run.
"Frankly, I think the President should recess all of them — all of them," Reid said of Obama's stalled nominees. "There are scores of them being held up for reasons that have nothing to do with anything dealing with these people or how they will function once in office."
There are still about 200 judicial and civilian nominees being held up, some of them for some pretty amazing reasons. And the Senate is in recess until April 12.
Security Without Freedoms
December 31, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Paul Craig Roberts
December 22, 2009 "Information Clearing House" — Obama's dwindling band of true believers has taken heart that their man has finally delivered on one of his many promises–the closing of the Guantanamo prison. But the prison is not being closed. It is being moved to Illinois, if the Republicans permit.
In truth, Obama has handed his supporters another defeat. Closing Guantanamo meant ceasing to hold people in violation of our legal principles of habeas corpus and due process and ceasing to torture them in violation of US and international laws.
All Obama would be doing would be moving 100 people, against whom the US government is unable to bring a case, from the prison in Guantanamo to a prison in Thomson, Illinois.
Are the residents of Thomson despondent that the US government has chosen their town as the site on which to continue its blatant violation of US legal principles? No, the residents are happy. It means jobs.
The hapless prisoners had a better chance of obtaining release from Guantanamo. Now the prisoners are up against two US senators, a US representative, a mayor, and a state governor who have a vested interest in the prisoners' permanent detention in order to protect the new prison jobs in the hamlet devastated by unemployment.
Neither the public nor the media have ever shown any interest in how the detainees came to be incarcerated. Most of the detainees were unprotected people who were captured by Afghan war lords and sold to the Americans as "terrorists" in order to collect a proffered bounty. It was enough for the public and the media that the Defense Secretary at the time, Donald Rumsfeld, declared the Guantanamo detainees to be the "780 most dangerous people on earth."
The vast majority have been released after years of abuse. The 100 who are slated to be removed to Illinois have apparently been so badly abused that the US government is afraid to release them because of the testimony the prisoners could give to human rights organizations and foreign media about their mistreatment.
Our British allies are showing more moral conscience than Americans are able to muster. Former PM Tony Blair, who provided cover for President Bush's illegal invasion of Iraq, is being damned for his crimes by UK officialdom testifying before the Chilcot Inquiry.
The London Times on December 14 summed up the case against Blair in a headline: "Intoxicated by Power, Blair Tricked Us Into War." Two days later the British First Post declared: "War Crime Case Against Tony Blair Now Rock-solid." In an unguarded moment Blair let it slip that he favored a conspiracy for war regardless of the validity of the excuse [weapons of mass destruction] used to justify the invasion.
The movement to bring Blair to trial as a war criminal is gathering steam. Writing in the First Post Neil Clark reported: "There is widespread contempt for a man [Blair] who has made millions [his reward from the Bush regime] while Iraqis die in their hundreds of thousands due to the havoc unleashed by the illegal invasion, and who, with breathtaking arrogance, seems to regard himself as above the rules of international law." Clark notes that the West's practice of shipping Serbian and African leaders off to the War Crimes Tribunal, while exempting itself, is wearing thin.
In the US, of course, there is no such attempt to hold to account Bush, Cheney, Condi Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and the large number of war criminals that comprised the Bush Regime. Indeed, Obama, whom Republicans love to hate, has gone out of his way to protect the Bush cohort from being held accountable.
Here in Great Moral America we only hold accountable celebrities and politicians for their sexual indiscretions. Tiger Woods is paying a bigger price for his girlfriends than Bush or Cheney will ever pay for the deaths and ruined lives of millions of people. The consulting company, Accenture Plc, which based its marketing program on Tiger Woods, has removed Woods from its Web site. Gillette announced that the company is dropping Woods from its print and broadcast ads. AT&T says it is re-evaluating the company's relationship with Woods.
Apparently, Americans regard sexual infidelity as far more serious than invading countries on the basis of false charges and deception, invasions that have caused the deaths and displacement of millions of innocent people. Remember, the House impeached President Clinton not for his war crimes in Serbia, but for lying about his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
Americans are more upset by Tiger Woods' sexual affairs than they are by the Bush and Obama administrations' destruction of US civil liberty. Americans don't seem to mind that "their" government for the last 8 years has resorted to the detention practices of 1,000 years ago–simply grab a person and throw him into a dungeon forever without bringing charges and obtaining a conviction.
According to polls, Americans support torture, a violation of both US and international law, and Americans don't mind that their government violates the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and spies on them without obtaining warrants from a court. Apparently, the brave citizens of the "sole remaining superpower" are so afraid of terrorists that they are content to give up liberty for safety, an impossible feat.
With stunning insouciance, Americans have given up the rule of law that protected their liberty. The silence of law schools and bar associations indicates that the age of liberty has passed. In short, the American people support tyranny. And that's where they are headed.
US Moves to Seize Four Mosques, Claiming Secret Iranian Control
November 19, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Jason Ditz
In a move being touted as "a sharp blow against Iran," the United States government is attempted to seize four Shi'ite mosques across the United States, calling it the largest `anti-terror' seizure ever and claiming the non-profit which operates them is secretly a front for the Iranian government.
The four mosques are located across the United States, in New York City, Houston, Carmichael California, and Potomac, Maryland. The non-profit Alavi Foundation faces formal charges of violating 1995 sanctions signed by President Clinton.
The group is funded principally through rent collected at a New York City skyscraper it owns, which the government also intends to seize. They provide funds to a myriad of Shi'ite religious institutions in the US and Canada and support for Farsi language education programs in US schools. They also provide interest free loans for Iranian-Americans to attend college in the US.
The seizure of the mosques by the federal government will be a serious hardship for worshippers, of course, but the capture of the 35-year old foundation's assets and its dissolution will be devastating for America's tiny Shi'ite community, which amounts to only about one tenth of one percent of all Americans.
Though the seizure of churches by the federal government is not unprecedented, it is extremely rare and fraught with controversy. The seizure of private religious institutions on the premise that they are covertly controlled by an "enemy state" only makes this move all the more controversial and will likely prove troubling to many Americans, Shi'ite or otherwise.

The way the interior of Our Families Country Café is decorated gives off a keenly familiar feeling—like home, if home had the cozy welcome-home ambience of a TV-family dining room. A florist shop's worth of plants, flowers, and knickknacks peppers the wooden walls, tables, and beams, and a decorative sign invites diners openly to "Seat Yourself." Once you take in the restaurant's good humor, a home-style feast of American favorites awaits touchdown between your fork and knife. Throughout the day, the kitchen staff flips hot cakes, scrambles omelets, grills burgers, and pours creamy gravy on crispy country fried steaks, all made in the name of down-home country cooking. Heartier eats include USDA Choice rib-eye steaks that start at 6 ounces like grandma used to make, or go up to 30 ounces, like Mr. T's grandma used to make.
Grape leaves, chickpeas, and pine nuts flavor Garden Cafe's classic dishes, honoring the rich array of ingredients yielded by the fertile soil and salty waters of the Mediterranean. The eatery's marinated fava beans and hummus pave the way for main acts, such as sizzling beef and chicken kebabs or chicken shawarma. The cooks also combine fresh ingredients for a handful of sandwiches, loading bread with falafels, beef gyros, and even philly steaks, which justify their presence by telling everyone they studied abroad in Greece.
With more than 25 years of experience as a chef in Las Vegas and Louisiana, Hott Cakez owner and sweets queen Lacia McKee fuses Southern comfort with Las Vegas glamour to craft seductive gourmet sweets. Though this artistically inclined confectionary specializes in crafting unique and personalized wedding cakes with a flair for drama, today's deal lets Groupon holders nab a taste of affordable luxury by sinking their teeth into a dozen strawberries that have been dipped in delicious molten cocoa, rendering them virtually indistinguishable to the vegetables they once were. Though equally Valentine-appropriate as flowers or teddy bears, these chocolate-dipped morsels hold the advantage of being infinitely more edible and are only slightly less fun to snuggle with, making them a perfect gift for a sweet loved one this February 14, or a perfect "surprise" for an angry loved one this February 15.
The exercise experts at Body Fit Las Vegas guide guests toward healthy hearts, toned muscles, and increased self-confidence at 64 weekly boot-camp sessions. A seasoned coach such as owner, trainer, and U.S. Army veteran Marcus Niemo equips students with moves that build stamina, core strength, and dioramas of the Battle of Bunker Hill. Each class teams cardio with isometric exercises to work all of the major muscle groups, providing a balanced workout that helps prevent injuries at the gym and comic wipeouts when skipping through fields of banana peels. The teacher can also help campers monitor their tickers and adjust the workout's intensity to torch a maximum number of calories by hitting their target heart rate and uprooting fields of snapping Venus fly traps.
Gimme Some Sugar bakes and shapes couture pastries from scratch, which sparkle with edgy designs and finite detailing. The marquee of flavors flickers with star confections such as sexy red velvet, bouncy chocolate, and luscious lemon, with each taste able to act as the leading role in a single-tier cake, cakelet, or wedding blooper-reel of your choosing (starting at $50).

Are You Kidding Me? The Ratio Rocks.
So I've been hanging out in the New York tech scene for a couple months, and I realized something: There's way more guys than girls! Has anyone else noticed this?
I first noticed that all the CEOs were guys. Then I noticed that all the people at hackathons were guys. Then I realized that all the VCs are guys! Then, I got on a bus and it was all guys. Some staff members of some start-ups are girls, though, and some tech bloggers are also girls.
I know some people out there feel that this gender imbalance is bad for some reason, but I just wanted to take this moment to talk about how lucky it makes me feel to be one of a few girls in the tech scene. Read More

Night & Weekend Permit – Employees and Community
Who is eligible
UCSB employees and members of the community are eligible to purchase an annual
Night & Weekend
If you visit the campus infrequently, you may find it more economical to purchase a flat-rate Night & Weekend permit from the dispensers located in the lots and parking structures on campus. Please view our
Short Term Rates
table for fees.
When & where to park
An annual Night & Weekend permit allows parking on campus Monday through Friday from 5:00PM until 7:30AM the next morning, and all day Saturday and Sunday.
A machine-dispensed Night & Weekend permit has the same privileges and hours as an annual Night & Weekend permit, except it is not on sale, nor is it valid for parking, on Friday and Saturday nights from midnight to 5AM the next morning.
During permitted hours, you may park in:
faculty and staff lots (see
Faculty & Staff Parking
for the locations of lots that allow visitor/student parking during non-business hours)
student lots (see
Visitor & Student Parking
for locations)
time-restricted parking spaces for the time designated
The permit is not valid in lots, areas, and spaces marked "At All Times" or where other restrictions apply — for example, reserved, metered or Coastal Access spaces, or lots/spaces marked for vendors or "RS" permit holders. The permit is not valid in the off-campus parking facilities operated by Housing & Residential Services.❖
How to apply

Finally started watching Dexter. Netflix seems to have the first two seasons.
Forever 63* at the SCG
Finally finished the last few episodes of Six Feet Under. It's the most powerful drama I've ever seen, mostly because it feels so real and unsanitized. The acting is from another planet as well. You don't realise how good Michael C Hall is untill you watch Dexter. I watched both at the same time and you completley forget about the other role when watching, he's that good.

Just finished watching the first three seasons of 30 Rock, really fun show. The lemon party reference in the second season quite possibly made me laugh more than any other show has.
One of the funniest lines from 30 Rock is when Jack commends Liz on being a good businessman.
Jack: Lemon, I'm impressed. You're beginning to think like a businessman.
Liz: A businesswoman.
Jack: I don't think that's a word.
Baldwin's expression and tone saying it is absolutely hilarious. Love his character so much.

Minnesota is one of the 16 states in the Union operating a state-run health insurance exchange: MNsure. Wisconsin turned down federal Medicaid/BadgerCare funding tied to the ACA and declined to set up a state-run exchange. Consequently, the federal government is running a new health insurance exchange for Wisconsinites and residents of 34 other states: HealthCare.gov.
MNsure.com, HealthCare.gov, and their respective hotlines were overwhelmed by an initial rush of visitors and callers when they opened on October 1. Wait times have since improved, but would-be shoppers may still find it hard to find impartial, face-to-face assistance.
On both sides of the Mississippi, public and private sector professionals are serving as the ACA's boots on the ground by providing face-to-face help. There are three kinds of "assisters:"
- Certified application counselors are employees of medical institutions, non-profits, and other groups who help people fill out their applications.
- Certified navigators teach people about the exchanges and are paid per enrollment with federal funds.
- Certified agents/brokers, unlike other assisters, are allowed to advise buyers on selecting plans and receive compensation from insurance companies.
Assisters who are not being paid by insurance companies are scarce in Winona, Buffalo, and Trempealeau counties. There are no navigators and no application counselors based in Winona County or any of the surrounding counties, including Olmsted, according to MNsure listings as of last Friday. There are no application counselors in either Buffalo or Trempealeau counties, and one navigator serving Buffalo County, according to county staff and local listings. There are nine certified agents/brokers in Winona County and 22 in Trempealeau and Buffalo counties, according to listings.
"We're really interested in getting a certified application counselor in Buffalo County to help our residents," said County Health Officer Jennifer Rombalski. "But we are not sure exactly when that will occur." Until then, Buffalo County is directing questions to HealthCare.gov and its hotline, and the Western Region for Economic Assistance, a consortium of local counties that have combined their welfare programs. Western Region for Economic Assistance, based in La Crosse, is the local agency primarily responsible for shepherding Wisconsinites through the health insurance exchange while counties are taking limited responsibility, county officials said. Trempealeau County's role, Health Department Director Sherry Rhoda explained, is to direct people to the federal website or Western Region for Economic Assistance. There just are not enough county staff members for them to serve as application counselors, she added.
Exchange organizers have cautioned the public to check official listings of certified assisters to avoid fraud. Navigators, counselors, and agents must all be authorized by the state or federal government. Applicants should be careful not to seek help from impostors and should be careful not to share sensitive information with assisters not authorized to handle it. Official assister listings for Buffalo and Trempealeau counties can be found by visiting www.lacrossecounty.org/humanservices/aca/#assistance. Official assister listing for Minnesota can be found at www.mnsure.com.
Organizers encourage those without computers to access exchange websites at local libraries. For Winona County residents, computer kiosks are available at the Winona County Office Building, 202 West Third Street, Winona.
Minnesota small businesses using MNsure can provide coverage to Wisconsinite workers, but employees should make sure that hospitals near their home are included in network coverage, MNsure officials advised. Wisconsin officials could not be reached to confirm how out-of-state employee coverage works through HealthCare.gov before the Winona Post went to press.
In both Minnesota and Wisconsin, government-run health insurance exchanges give individuals, families, and small businesses the option to shop for, compare, and purchase private health insurance plans with standardized levels of coverage. The exchanges will also automatically check eligibility for and apply for Medicaid, insurance subsidies, and other government aids. Anyone can still purchase health insurance from the exchanges, directly from companies, through brokers, or through employers. Starting March 31, 2014, anyone without health insurance will face fines.

BadgerCare cuts, expansions
Wisconsin Medicaid coverage, or BadgerCare, is undergoing a significant change. After Governor Scott Walker turned down federal funding for Medicaid expansions tied to the ACA part of the expansion's cost would have been transferred to the state over time BadgerCare is being cut in some areas and expanded in others. Parents and childless adults between 100 and 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level ($11,500 - $22,980 per year for one; $23,550 - $47,100 per year for a family of four) will lose BadgerCare coverage and will be required to purchase health insurance on their own. Pregnant women and children between 200 and 300 percent of the poverty line, who had been receiving partial benefits, will now receive full benefits.
The waiting list for adults who do qualify for the new BadgerCare rules will be eliminated, according to state officials. State budgets project that the waiting list elimination will actually increase the number of total BadgerCare recipients, despite the cuts.
BadgerCare recipients subject to the changes should expect to receive letters from the state announcing the change by the end of next month. Buffalo and Trempealeau county residents with questions should contact the Western Region for Economic Assistance at 1-888-627-0430.

U23 Paris Roubaix
I raced U23 Paris-Roubaix three times, though I'm not sure why I did it more than once to be honest. You do get something out of it. I'm a good bike handler with that kind of race; I think I wanted to race it at least once for the experience. The third time I just got in a van at some point. I was with a group not too far off the back of the field, and we had a chance at getting back on but I had no life in me. Right then I saw a guy I knew on the side of the road, a guy I had raced with on La Pomme, and I said, "Hey let me get in your van." That was that.
Leading up to that Paris-Roubaix I'd gotten sick at Tour of the Gila and lost ten pounds. Right after that on the way back to Europe I had my passport rejected in Houston, leaving me to spend two days riding a stationary recumbent in jeans and a Garmin t-shirt (my bags were stuck in customs) in the hotel gym. I watched Oprah, wondering the whole time about how I was going to get a passport. International travel, jet lag, being ten pounds too light, passport stress and two days of recumbent gym-bike training all lead to me crashing four times in the first three days of Olympia's Tour, a race in Holland legendary for being windy, dangerous and flat. I pulled the plug on the last day of that, then five days later I got in a van halfway through Paris-Roubaix.
I get paid to do both.
It's nice, I get paid to be as healthy as humanly possible. Off the bike I do everything possible to eat right, maximize nutrition, train my body and get as fit as possible—all these infinitesimal percentage gains. I waste the smallest amount of energy possible, I barely walk, I avoid stairs, etc. In some ways I get paid to do both though. When I'm on the bike, I get paid to destroy myself, to go as hard as I can, to wear myself out.1
Little stores selling little things.
When I go to Girona in a few weeks, I'll have my apartment. There should still be clean sheets on my bed. First order of business will be to acquire food, that's always key. I'll hike around and trade money for it; that's the problem living over there—for cyclists at least—you have to walk everywhere. You have to walk to the butcher, you have to walk to the grocer, you have to walk to the organic store to buy nuts, there's all these little stores there that sell these little things. In order to find Almond Milk, I have to schmooze with some lady (in a language I don't understand or speak) so I can find out where they sell the Almond Milk, so I can buy the Almond Milk, so can I feel (kinda) like I'm at home.

(NBC News) Firefighters continue their battle against a massive wildfire that has scorched over 100,000 acres and threatens more than 10,000 homes in central Idaho.
The fight against the Beaver Creek Wildfire entered its 13th day Tuesday.
The massive blaze is fanning out in several directions, pushed by strong winds, with no shortage of dried out brush for fuel.
2,300 families have been evacuated and more than 7,000 more have been told to pack and be ready to leave at a moments notice.

Hi everyone,
I live in an apartment and having a problem with my neighbor having a tv outside. We have adjoining patio's, so when I go out to sit on MY patio, I am forced to listen to his tv program. This happens everyday, sometimes for the entire evening. I am a smoker who only smokes outside. So question is, How do I tell him that this is driving me nuts? I feel like telling him if he wants to watch tv, go inside! Thanks for your help. flowerpal |

There's probably two ways to go here: 1. Blow smoke in his face. If that doesn't work, have a party where everyone smokes. If that doesn't work, then have a party where everyone is smoking a cigar. If these measures fail, then you've got to play hard-ball: 2. Install a plasma TV outside. Start playing re-runs of the "Brady Bunch." Golf shows would be really great. Surely, "Lawrence Welk re-runs should put this guy back in his apartment forever. Oh!!! Keep smoking and your problem is gone forever. OF COURSE, YOU ARE GONE FOREVER TOO!!!! About the best you can do is to talk to the person, and tell him what is bothering you. Or talk to management. You've got a 50% chance of your words falling on deaf ears. |
Have you talked to him? Smoker or not if you wanted to sit on your patio and listen to the birds or crickets you should be able to. At the same time he should be able to do what he wants on his patio. He probably doesn't know his TV bothers you because you have never told him it does. If you talk to him, you two might just find a happy medium place. Your only other choice is to stay mad. |

Thanks for the comments. Condoperson: He smokes too so that would'nt work. I know I need to speak with him about it, but I need to know what or how to say it without offending him. He did make a comment before saying he paid the rent there, that was shortly after I talked with management. They asked him to turn it down. That did work for awhile, but it's louder now. I can hear it outside my front door for pete's sake! So do you have suggestions on what to say to him? Thanks, |
I would take my TV or a radio outside too....play it loud....if he complains say you have to turn up the sound to hear it over his TV.... On the other hand...he has a prfect right to listen to his TV on his patio.....the only way to not suffer any consequences of neighbors doing things that annoy you is to have no neighbors. I suggest you ignore it.... Linda C |

Bagpipe music! Take a boombox onto the patio and turn it up real loud. ONly if asking him to turn it down - if he's sitting there by himself, and if it's not an old clunker TV, he could use headphones. |
Unfortunately you are both paying rent and if he isn't concerned about being a "good neighbor", other than filing complaints continuously (and there's no guarantee that it will remedy things), there is really not much you can do. I don't think that retaliation on your part will make things better...they will probably make things worse. That is one of the pitfalls of living in an apartment/condo. His comment about "I pay rent, too" is indicative of someone who has a pattern of "digging his heels in". I agree with LindaC...try to ignore it. I know that's not what you want to hear, but constantly complaining about it will only make him more adversarial. How long are you planning on staying there? Maybe this will be the impetus needed to think about alternatives to apartment living. |
Do what I am doing...MOVING!!! If you don't want to move or if it's not that bad, you may have to deal with it. As long as he's not playing it loud after hours when everyone's supposed to be sleeping. |

tell management he hasn't really made any headway, he's given you every indication that he won't communicate well--can they move you toa different unit? Otherwise, you might have to look into the legalities of breaking your lease. I sympathize--I cannot STAND to be around the TV, so I'd just give up the use of my terrace. (you could use this to help you cut down on smoking--there might be a bright side) The other thing you could do is to approach him and say you appreciate the efforts he made earlier with keeping the TV volume down, but it's still a problem because it's always on. Say you understand that he'd like to be able to watch his TV outside, but that you pay rent too, and would like to have the "quiet enjoyment" of your terrace. Are there days of the week you could swap off, perhaps? If I were management, I'd simply have told him, "no electrical-powered sound devices--stereo, TV, electric guitar or electronic keyboard--outside on the terrace." |
Perhaps suggest to the guy that he get headphones? It seems like such an obvious solution, but that would require that he have some human feeling and actually care about whether or not he's upsetting his neighbors...which judging by his past actions, he probably doesn't. It's worth a shot, I guess. |

Thanks for all the follow ups everyone! Sorry, I cannot ignore it. It's too annoying. I did take my small radio out and turned it down low so I wouldn't have to listen to his. This made him turn it up even louder. I just can't believe he doesn't realize it bothers other people. I'm not in a postion to move. I've been here 9 years and this is the first time I've ever had a problem. We do plan on getting a house by the first of next year. I just don't want to spend the next year dealing with this. I might suggest earphones. I believe the tv has cables for them. This is not the only problem I have with this man. His has a rather loud neighbor and he has been video taping her front door and meationed the wanted to install a secruity camera to monitor her high traffic. Anyways, I thank you all and wish me luck. |

I would go to Walmart or Radio Shack and purchase a universal remote. If you can't see the brand name on his TV, these devices usually have a search function to search for codes. Then, you can turn his TV off, change the channel, or turn the volume down. As long as you are not obvious about it, he will not know what is happening. |
- Posted by noodlesportland (My Page) on Thu, May 12, 05 at 2:07
TAKE him a nice headphone set and a nice bottle of wine or booze and ASK him nicely if he would use them certain hours and tell him you will be moving and then if he says no you can justify being angry--it will help you pack your stuff. |
Buy this TV-B-Gone for $14.99 it will turn off any TV. He will get the point pretty quick I would think. |
Here is a link that might be useful: TVBGONE

How do you know he enjoys your dirty smelly cigarette smoke in his face everyday? Maybe the TV is because you are blowing that horrible smell towards him. |
- Posted by maine_gardener (My Page) on Fri, May 13, 05 at 0:49
Um she stated he also smoked! I think the Tvbgone is a great idea! |
tv bgone! go for it! they're both smokers, no problem turn off is tv every other minute, then come out and ask him if he's having problems TOO! |

The title of his new album, Mercury Falling, is a typical Sting gesture it has the warmth of intelligence and the chill of self-regard. A tightly packed metaphor indeed, it is freighted with all the baggage we've come to expect from its author: puns, high cultural allusions, megalomania. Let's see.we have the onset of winter (read: depression, dashed hopes). We have surprise! Sting identifying with a god, the quicksilver Roman deity of messengers and thieves (commerce, too, fittingly). What's more, Mercury's not zipping along like he does on the FTD logo he's falling. The message of Sting's sixth solo album of new material is that life on Olympus, while undoubtedly finer than it is for you or me, can be hell. Rock gods take headers too.
Sting may fancy himself a mercurial trickster; in fact, he's a paragon of consistency who turns out album after high-grade album, their proportions constant: two-thirds inspired pop rock, one-third naked ego. Mercury Falling is as first-rate a piece of craftsmanship as its predecessors. If anything, it's tauter, more shipshape, and richer in hooks closest thing yet to Sting's pure pop album.
If Sting is more in command of his art than ever, life isn't so cooperative. Coursing through these songs is a control freak's struggle to accept his lack of control. Lovers leave, moods swing, innocents die violently. ''I'm as dark as December/I'm as cold as the Man in the Moon,'' sings the abandoned lover on the album's stately, ominous opener, ''The Hounds of Winter.'' Somberness turns to horror on ''I Hung My Head,'' with its nightmarish scenario that unfolds implacably over a staggered, unsettling rhythm. From the first lines ''Early one morning/With time to kill/I borrowed Jeb's rifle/And sat on the hill'' we know someone's going to die. The casually shaggy ''I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying,'' about a guy whose marriage has unraveled, may be the album's most appealing track. The lyric has the tang of felt life either Sting has been through some rough patches lately or he's a better supplier of fictional detail than one thought: ''She says the kids are fine/And that they miss me/Maybe I could come and babysit sometime.'' The incongruous bounciness, courtesy of a pedal steel guitar and a country lope, is a stroke of brilliance. Without it, the song would be bathetic; with it, Sting nails the precise mood he's after heartbreak without self-pity.
As if to shake his foul spirits, Sting, with the help of the Memphis Horns and longtime collaborators guitarist Dominic Miller, keyboardist Kenny Kirkland, and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, takes a three-song flier at Memphis R&B. As a British blue-eyed soul man, he won't cause Steve Winwood any sleepless nights, but he gives the best of these tunes, ''You Still Touch Me,'' a genuine workout. The singer's in nautical mode on ''Valparaiso,'' a beautifully evocative sequel to The Soul Cages' cathartic sea tales.
Soul music and sea fantasies are two ways to stave off despair, but Mercury Falling offers another, deeper vision of redemption: accepting defeat and moving on. Starting as a mournful English ballad, ''I Was Brought to My Senses'' kicks into a sort of north-country samba, a moving, quietly exultant paean to nature: ''I walked out this morning/It was like a veil had been removed from before my eyes.'' The album closes with the prayerlike ''Lithium Sunset'' (''Fill my eyes/...And take this lonesome burden/Of worry from my mind''), whose pretty melody and jogging beat it's another nominally country tune give the song a guarded optimism, the careworn narrator heading for tomorrow, nursing his wounds.
Whether we loathe, admire, or profess indifference to him, few pop musicians engage our emotions as fully as Sting. He knows it, too. If his self-knowledge has increased, so has his awareness of his public persona and his ability to play on our conflicting emotions. The album's last three words ''See Mercury falling'' are as loaded as the title they echo. Is Sting tauntingly inviting us to enjoy watching him take a spill? Or is he mocking his own hubris, and with the most candid admission of vulnerability he has ever made: ''I'm falling''? Maybe what Sting is telling us is that he has learned something new (though he'd probably never quote anything as humble as a proverb): Pride goeth before a fall. A-

Bare Minerals Pretty Amazing Lipcolour in Confidence is described as a mauve-pink colour, but it looks like a darker colour in the tube/on the applicator. On swatches, though, the colour is a brighter mauve-pink.
I have to admit, the colour seemed a bit too bright for me initially, but while it might not seem so in the photo, it does brighten my face up. Perhaps because of the mauve tones in it, this is a brighter pink that I can actually wear without looking washed out (a common problem for me with my darker skin colour!). The lipcolour seems more pink than mauve, though, on my lips. Wear it on dull, dreary days for an instant pop of colour without going the pure neon route :P Here's me and my Confidence :D :D
Bare Minerals Pretty Amazing Lipcolours are creamy, opaque, nondrying, and pretty longlasting. Confidence is no exception to this rule. I typically apply lipcolours using a lip brush, but the applicator provided does a fantastic job of applying the colour - or just dab it on with your fingers to provide a sheerer wash of colour. Another favorite for me from the Bare Minerals range, Confidence is a shade that should work for any skin colour.
Bare Minerals Pretty Amazing Lipcolour (available here) - $16 for the regular size product. I got mine as a part of a set.

Stop Cat Urinating On Rug – Adopt A Twin Pronged Approach To Solve This Problem
Do you love rugs and carpets but fear purchasing the same because you do not know how to stop cat urinating on rug? Well, you may be facing this problem simply because you have not trained the cat properly. You may not know it but the pet relies a lot on positive appreciation from the pet owner. The pet cat may behave as if your praise and appreciation do not matter. However the truth is that it is very keen on enjoying your praise.
No Praise Means No Motivation
It may have eliminated in the litter box a few times but might not have received any praise. This may have led the cat to conclude that it does not matter where it eliminates. If you just focus on negative criticism and if you shout or yell when the pet cat urinates on the rug, it is certainly not going to help you train the cat to stop cat urinating on rug.
Trying to get rid of the rug from the house is not going to work. This is only going to make the cat search for the rug or the cat may continue eliminating at the same place where the rug was situated. Rather, you should first clean the rug properly with bleach and other disinfectants that will completely remove the smell of the urine.
Make Litter Boxes Attractive
The second step to stop cat urinating on rug is to focus on the positive aspects of elimination in litter. Get a few litter boxes and opt for different brands and differently scented litter. Place them close by and find out which litter box does the cat prefer. The rug may be very soft and comfy and the cat may prefer the rug for elimination for this purpose. If the cat is provided a fancy new litter box which is completely free of odor, it is obviously going to attract its attention.
Once you have introduced the litter box as the alternative to stop cat urinating on rug, it is time to reinforce the message. Try to catch your pet cat doing good things by accident. Make sure you praise it a lot. Give it a good hug and make sure it understands that you are very pleased at the fact that it has behaved properly. All this will reinforce your basic message that you aim to stop cat urinating on rug. The combination of all solutions should definitely help you solve your problem permanently.

I've tried to avoid even any thought of a growing cavernous divide between Robert Griffin III and his head coach Mike Shanahan, both here and generally in my life. The latter is more difficult, since reading and consuming NFL content is sort of what I do. But I strongly suggest that you take the necessary steps to rid yourself of this senseless noise.
The matter can be summarized quickly, and thusly: an injured quarterback wants to play quarterback more, and his coach won't let him (yet) because it's his job to ensure the injured quarterback is brought along slowly. The injured quarterback is displeased, though he understands, while coach and team move forward. OK then, done.
Of course, this tender approach didn't happen late last season after Griffin initially suffered his knee injury, a misstep which is maybe effecting Shanahan's approach now. If that's the case, good. We, as humans, have the cognitive ability to learn from our mistakes. In this case, Shanny is the child who thought licking the frozen pole in winter would be fun. Never again.
What we care most about around here and what we continue to care most about for fantasy footballing purposes is Griffin's availability on Sept. 9, when the Redskins open their season against the Eagles. And we're still being reminded that one rather important hurdle which seems like a formality needs to be cleared.

I had the privilege recently of attending a ceremony at the Dupont Spruance Plant, where members of the Dupont workforce were recognized for their willingness to volunteer in numerous organizations, throughout this area. It was refreshing to hear people's stories of why they became volunteers, as well as the many wonderful contributions that each one makes in the lives of others. What you hear from a volunteer is a total different motivation for why they do whatever it is that they do. It has nothing to do with the pay, since there is none. In most cases, a volunteer will go unrecognized, but they serve because of a passion for the people served, or for the community in which they live.
My fire service career, as was the same for many others, started as a volunteer firefighter. In fact, many salaried firefighters leave their jobs after a tour of duty, and go home only to respond on volunteer fire units and ambulances. In many towns, volunteers still carry the mantle of responsibility for fire protection and emergency medical response.
Though I had the opportunity to work at fire stations in my hometown, many come from surrounding communities to work in Chesterfield. It is when they go home that some choose to serve their neighbors as volunteers. Chesterfield does still have volunteer firefighters, as well as volunteer EMS personnel. A few examples are the Enon Volunteer Fire Department and Bensley Bermuda Volunteer Rescue Squad.
We live in such a consumer-oriented society, where everyone wants all that they can get for themselves. I am encouraged when I learn about people who are willing to volunteer their time, or more than that, teach their children to give of themselves, instead of expecting others to do for them. A child that grows up being taught to serve others will have a much different perspective of their place in this world.
I want to take the opportunity in this article to thank every person who volunteers their time, talents and treasures, in order to positively impact the lives of others. For those of you that might be looking for a place to volunteer, you do not have to look far. Start with what you are passionate about, and look for places that you can help others around that passion. It might be that you just love people, and want to serve in whatever way you can. Many say, "I do not have time to volunteer." Remember, when you coach your son's baseball team or serve as brownie leader for your daughter's brownie troop, you are volunteering. Start somewhere and get involved.
