Health Insurance Is Important
Health Policy Brief Importance of Insurance THE URBAN INSTITUTE DC-SPG no.1, November 2007 Why Health Insurance Is Important Randall R. Bovbjerg and Jack Hadley H aving health insurance is important because cov- erage helps people get timely medical care and improves their lives and health. Some may believe that Some uninsured people may decide not to obtain in- surance precisely because they expect not to need medical care, so simple comparisons of the insured and people always have access to medical care because uninsured can be misleading.5 However, many studies they can always go to an emergency room. But even adjust for factors like age and health status that affect areas with well supported safety- need for care.

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – There will be no new trial for a man convicted of killing 21-year-old Cindy Agnus Burk 22 years ago.
Burk's body was found dumped on a side road between Ft. St. John and Dawson Creek. She died from loss of blood caused by a wound to her throat.
Paul Felker was questioned in the case 14 years later, but police never arrested him. They kept him in mind as a suspect though, and in 2006 undercover officers posing as gangsters that were recruiting Felker to join their gang got him to confess in a classic Mr. Big sting operation.
Using that evidence, a jury found Felker guilty of second-degree murder. He appealed, arguing the trial judge didn't give the jury proper instructions.
That appeal is being dismissed by BC's highest court.
No new trial for Cindy Agnus Burk's killer

28 Days of Slow Cooking: Spicy Sloppy Joes
When it comes to greatness, like the immortal Sloppy Joe sandwich, the most brilliant American comfort food since mac and cheese, people always fight for the credit. Which is why more than one Joe claims to have created the Sloppy Joe. In Iowa, lore has it that a Sioux City short-order cook attached his name to the restaurant's "loose meat sandwich" and watched things take off from there.

How to Make Sloppy Joes
From hamburgers to meatloaf, casseroles to meatballs, ground beef has long been a staple of American home cooking, in large part because it's more affordable than other types and cuts of meat. So it's no wonder that somewhere along the line, someone invented sloppy joes -- deliciously messy sandwiches made with ground beef in a tomato-based sauce that can range from mild to spicy -- as a means of stretching the amount of beef they had on hand to feed a few more.

Orlando Bloom Burglar Alexis Neiers Writing a Book
A partial description reads: "Think 'Gossip Girl' goes to Hollywood -- it is a cautionary tale as well as a guilty pleasure; the reader is plunged into the crazy, out-of-control world of one of Hollywood's most infamous party girls."
Neiers is reportedly working with Sheryl Berk, the same ghostwriter who worked with Britney Spears and Jamie-Lynn Sigler on their books. Oh, and one about Barney the purple dinosaur.
The reality star and potential author-to-be spent 30 days of a 180-day felony burglary sentence in Century Regional Detention Facility at Lynwood over the summer. At one point, her neighbor in lock-up was Lindsay Lohan. Although Neiers was behind bars specifically for burglarizing Bloom, she was also part of a crime ring that allegedly broke into Lohan's home. A watch stolen from the 'Mean Girls' actress was found at the Neiers' home.
In a statement released through her publicist in July, Neiers said she "did a lot of soul searching" during her time in jail. "I feel very humbled and see my life in a way that I have come to be very grateful for and I am also grateful to everyone who has helped and supported me through this," the statement said.
Neiers was one of six people accused of targeting the homes of celebrities -- including those of Megan Fox, Paris Hilton and Lohan -- and stealing millions in jewelry, clothing and other luxury items. The group was dubbed the "Burglar Bunch" by some and the "Bling Ring" by others.
Neiers agreed to a plea bargain in May shortly before her trial was to begin. Her lawyer, Jeffery Rubenstein, said at the time that it was in her best interest to avoid a trial and a possible hefty sentence -- a felony burglary count could have netted her up to six years in prison -- if convicted.
"After lengthy consideration and fighting the best pretrial fight we could, we decided it was in Alexis' best interest to take responsibility for her small part in this incident and do a little bit of county jail time instead of a lengthy state prison sentence if convicted."
TMZ notes there is no mention of Neiers' time in jail in the talk of her potential book.

I'm rather certain there is a law stating FELONS are NOT allowed to profit from their crimes, even in novel form. This little twit needs to select different subject matter in order to sell her st and donate the proceeds to charity. Yoo Hoo, Ghostwriter check out the law.

Not sure she was charged with a felony. She took a plea bargain to avoid a felony burglary charge. Plus, as long as she is careful to leave out some details about the crimes it won't count as "profiting from the crime".

The Calcutta High Court on Tuesday took suo motu cognisance of the remarks made by the Trinamool Congress Minister Becharam Manna at Singur on December 2 and issued a contempt rule against him.
The Court directed Mr. Manna to be present before the Court on December 18 and defend the remarks made by him at a public rally at Singur in the State's Hooghly district on December 2.
Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya, senior advocate of the Court who pleaded on the behalf of lawyers who brought the matter to the notice of Court said that Mr. Manna's comments "directly interfered with administration of justice and were an attempt to scandalise the image of the judiciary."
He presented before the Court the newspaper reports referring to Mr. Manna's remarks of the rally held at Singur. The Court also directed the newspapers that carried the story and television channels that telecasted the programme to file affidavit before the Court and submit materials collected by their journalist.
Mr. Manna remarks which went on record sparked widespread criticism, even as his senior ministerial colleague Partha Chatterjee tried to do some damage-control on Monday.
The Court has earlier admitted a petition where Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had made objectionable comments about the Judiciary. The matter is pending before the High Court.
Keywords: Becharam Manna, Trinamool Congress, Singur, Mamata government

MFD Fitness Challenge!
One of the many goals of the Madison Fire Department is to promote the health and fitness of our personnel and that of the community. Recent research shows that rates of overweight and obese individuals in the fire service are higher than those found in the general public. Traditionally, some occupational factors place firefighters at higher risk for weight gain, such as shift work, sleep disruption, and unhealthful eating patterns in the firehouse. I am proud to say that these statistics don't pertain to the Fire Department staff here in Madison.
This January, the Madison Fire Department, along with Firefighters Local 311, is "challenging" its personnel with a friendly competition that promotes "strength in numbers" by connecting civilian employees, command staff, and sworn (local 311) personnel with the goal of improved health and wellness. The competition aims to promote teamwork, camaraderie, and healthful habits that can help transform lives and prolong careers.
The Fitness Challenge is a 12-week competition beginning with weigh-ins and initial assessments mid-January and ends mid-April. Regardless of age or level of fitness, the Fitness Challenge provides special incentives to help participants achieve health and wellness goals. I look forward to reporting the positive progress we make during this period.
In good health,
Chief Davis

Paterno focused on improvement
He isn't calling this a "must win" game. Maybe a "must play better" game. Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, who leads the Nittany Lions into Saturday's Homecoming clash with Illinois in Beaver Stadium, said Tuesday during his news conference that he's more focused on improvement than anything else this week following last Saturday's 24-3 loss ...

Could the problem with injuries be a result of an inadequate strenth and conditioning program? I can't remember Penn State ever being so consistently out musceled on both the offensive and defensive lines.

Guest column: Storm's outages shine light on challenge of future energy needs
December 2, 2013
The deadly tornadoes and related damage that swept through Indiana and Illinois on Nov. 17 has placed the spotlight on the unpredictability of our world and what we so often take for granted that when we flip the wall switch in our homes, there will be light.
That wasnt the case across Indiana for thousands of residents; power was out for hours and even days as utilities frantically worked to get a portion of our lives back to normal.

Whitehorse / Cameron Latimer
Rio Theatre, Vancouver BC January 20
This show almost didn't happen for Whitehorse, the husband and wife team of Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland. Doucet was wicked sick, and only mustered the strength to continue thanks to regular doses of NeoCitran, to which McClelland coaxed the audience with, "Let's hear it for drugs!" Though his illness occasionally showed, making the learning process for the relatively new creative partnership obvious, Doucet put on a strong face and pulled off a commendable performance.
Doucet can play a mean guitar live. He attacks his arsenal of axes with the conviction of a bear separated from its cub, proving his Juno and Polaris Music Prize nominations were well earned. McClelland was no slouch either, matching Doucet's virtuosity with her powerful vocals. They are individually talented, but what made them special was their chemistry.
The duo were a little roughness around the edges, yet always completely there for one another. Every time Doucet would do his thing, laying down nasty riffs and choice picking, not to mention teasing out the twang with his whammy bar, she would be glowing, looking at him with resolute joy and passion, a deeply felt smile plastered across her face. They fleshed out their sound with looping pedals and random noise makers, keeping the variety of timbres fresh and rhythms strong, with Doucet often pumping out the icky thump on a kick drum and McClelland stomping her foot in time.
Whitehorse performed as just the two of them, all except for one song; Doucet's daughter came out of the crowd for "Jolene," and did an admirable job filling the shoes of Dolly Parton. Whitehorse also covered the Bruce Springsteen hit "I'm on Fire" as it appears on their debut EP, with a twist ending from "At Last" in tribute to recently deceased R&B legend Etta James.
For the most part, though, they performed their new material and collaborative reworkings of their individual catalogues, receiving a standing ovation at the end of their set. They capped it all off splendidly by performing McClelland's "When the Lights Went Off in Hogtown" unplugged while walking around the audience in the dark for their encore, easily earning another ovation.
Coming back soon! If our developer were more machine than man they'd already be here. Useless meatsack.
For now, please send any and all feedback to [email protected].

TEDxTurtleCreekWomen is back in May 2015
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalk videos and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The community loved our first TEDxTurtleCreekWomen in 2013, and we are back this year with more wonderful speakers. Please register with us to receive the latest news, including when tickets are available for purchase, and follow us on Facebook and Twitter. Thank you in advance to all the speakers, sponsors, volunteers and team!
Why Turtle Creek
Considered "the most notable waterway in Dallas," Turtle Creek has witnessed the city's history from its farming and ranching roots to its current status as the city with the largest number of corporate headquarters in the country. Fed by numerous fresh springs, Turtle Creek has never run dry. It is a quiet, consistent strength that has fed the core of what Dallas is, and all it will be. This is where optimism meets opportunity.
TEDxTurtleCreekWomen reflects this same strength with fresh ideas that never run dry. We look to draw our speakers, attendees, and staff from all of the diverse communities that make up the areas of Dallas touched by Turtle Creek.
TEDWomen 2015
TEDWomen is a three-day conference about the power of women and girls to be creators and change-makers. The program of speakers, workshops, events — and daring discussions — has sparked some of TED's most iconic moments yet.
This years event theme is "Momentum". Momentum. Moving Forward. Gaining Speed. Building Traction. It will take place from May 27-29, 2015 in Monterey, CA.
At TEDWomen 2015, we'll explore the bold ideas that create momentum in how we think, live and work today. From the young scientist revealing a breakthrough discovery to the activist who methodically transformed how the world thinks about women. From the veteran CEO whose trade secrets turn organizations around to the athlete whose extraordinary comeback shocked the world.
Upcoming Events
