I find it ironic that over 100 years ago the Federal Government was able to round up Native Americans and send them to reservations hundreds of miles from their homes where they were given substandard homes,food, health care, education and empty promises. Today by contrast the Federal Government with all its technology and laws is unable to find and deport illegal immigrants. Instead they must get a free education [for them] and excellent health care. This blog is from a first generation son a LEGAL immigrant Who followed the law and became a US citizen. Zorro1

It is very easy to take candy from a baby,it is also easy to take away a babies birthright. A child should be born free in a free nation, not be burdened with debt. It seems that George W, Bushwacker and the inept congressinal gang has done it with years of incompetance by both parties. They are now closing the barn door after the horse is gone.A poor job of oversite all around. Zorro1

This man is an egotistical self centered person who has no regard for family or the people of SC. IT's all about me,me,me. He has proven the he can't handle his position as Gov.or as a family man. What a face he puts on SC as a liar and a cheat, how is anyone ever going to trust him again. D0 everyone a favor and resign and fade away. Zorro1

Beaumont Health System is a regional medical system in the Detroit Metropolitan area. It first opened with a 238-bed hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan in 1955. The hospital system is named after William Beaumont, a medical doctor at an army post on Mackinac Island, Michigan.[1]
Beaumont is a regional healthcare provider that includes three hospitals, medical centers located throughout the area, nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities and hundreds of doctors' offices.
The largest hospital is located at 3601 W Thirteen Mile Road in Royal Oak, Michigan near Woodward Avenue and houses 1,070 inpatient beds. The facility also includes cancer, renal, vascular, heart and neuroscience centers as well as a research institute and a medical building with private practices and other Beaumont services.[2]
The 346-bed campus of the Troy hospital is located at 44201 Dequindre Road in Troy, Michigan. This offers inpatient and outpatient services as well as private practices.[3]
Beaumont Hospital in Grosse Pointe, a 280-bed hospital, is located at 468 Cadieux Rd, Grosse Pointe, MI 48230.[4] On October 1, 2007 it was acquired by Beaumont Hospitals from Bon Secours Health System Inc.[5]
In addition to this, the Beaumont system also has 6 medical centers,[6] 4 nursing facilities,[7] and many additional services at 5 other locations.[6]
Beaumont serves as a teaching hospital for University of Michigan Medical School, Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Wayne State University School of Medicine,[8] Wayne State University School of Nursing,[9] Oakland University[10] and Michigan State University School of Nursing.
The hospital also offers residency and fellowship programs for physicians,[11] and research opportunities through the Research Institute.[12]
In addition to this, Clinical Pastoral Education is offered through Beaumont's CPE department.[13]
In 2010, Oakland University and William Beaumont Hospital received ACGME-accreditation to open an allopathic medical school to be called Oakland University William Beaumont Medical School (OUWBMS). Construction on new buildings and facilities at the Rochester Campus of Oakland University is underway and the first class of OUWBMS started in 2011.

It's been a while since we have seen Kristen in any photographs smoking a cigarette and that's because the actress has quit in order to support Rob. HollywoodLife.com has all the exclusive details on Kristen's decision to give up the nasty habit.
It seems as though love can conquer all! Kristen Stewart has decided to give up smoking cigarettes for the love of her life Robert Pattinson. And we couldn't be happier for the cigarette-free couple!A friend of Kristen's tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively, "Kristen has never been better. She is probably in the best shape of her life and best health, thanks to Rob. She has given up smoking. She has been trying to be as supportive as she can of Rob's decision to quit. Kristen and Rob used to smoke cigarettes together all the time but they know how crappy it made them feel. Kristen doesn't like smoking that electronic cigarette, so she just all together quit."
"Kristen realized that her smoking was getting out of hand. On movie sets, it's really tempting to smoke a lot while waiting and there is so much waiting and down time. Kristen feels really good about herself since quitting," said the friend.
Yay! We are so proud of you, Kristen. Now you and Rob can kiss each other without that yucky cigarette breath!
Are you surprised Kristen quit smoking for Rob? What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers?

lol, there are pics of her smoking during press junkets last week and before the OTR AFI screening. There are also pics of her smoking when she was out with Rob in October. So not only has she not quit, she hasn't even stopped smoking when she's around him, which is extremely selfish.

Yes, everyone knows that Rob and Kristen quit smoking some time ago, but at least they have continued and have not started to smoke again, good for them both. Kristen and Rob both look really happy and in much better physical shape, I'm sure they both are happy they gave up the cancer sticks. Kristen looks great lately, best shape I've seen her in, Keep up the good work to both of them.

@Woody88 The choice to quit smoking is a bigger deal than the choice screw over her long term boy friend with a married man that the boyfriend said he didn't like to start with. Thus adding insult to injury. Yeah. Right. That's a really, er, interesting ethical outlook you're got there.
Posted at 4:46 PM on November 1, 2012
Somebody is lying again. Either you, or your source. She's already on the record in prior PERSONAL interviews stating that she'd quit smoking completely months ago. It seems to me that it's been nine or ten months since I saw her with a cancer stick in her mouth, or even a report of one until that e-cigarette report turned up recently. So, Stewart lied to make herself look better. I'm not even surprised.

I agree with this reader of TPM:
I've seen the Wayne Dumond affair referred to as Huckabee's "Willie Horton" problem a number of times, including on this blog this afternoon in a post by David Kurtz linking to Murry Waas' excellent piece. But this case is only superficially like Willie Horton. As I recall, Michael Dukakis did not advocate the release of Willie Horton specifically, whereas Mike Huckabee *did* advocate specifically for the release of Wayne Dumond. Of course, Dukakis as governor *did* move to continue the program of furloughs for prisoners serving life without parole as a measure he believed would effectively rehabilitate prisoners, and in my opinion that was both dangerous as a matter of public policy and stupid at a purely political level. But the equivalency developing between the Willie Horton story and the Wayne Dumond story is ridiculous.
The bottom line is simple. Mike Huckabee championed the release of a specific convicted rapist who, once release, raped and killed a woman in Missouri. The furlough policy advocated by Mike Dukakis led to the furlough of Willie Horton, who raped a woman in Maryland and stabbed her fiancee. But Mike Dukakis had never heard of Willie Horton, whereas Mike Huckabee was well aware of the crimes and dangers posed by Wayne Dumond. Anyone who doesn't see the substantive difference between the two cases just isn't looking.

You Can't Keep Martin O'Neill Down!
Former Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill is in the running for the position at Goodison Park.
Wigan Athletic's Roberto Martinez is heavily fancied to leave the relegated club and succeed Moyes, who met with his new Manchester United squad on Monday.
However, should he not be in a position to take the job it is anticipated O'Neill, 61, could make a quick return to the Premier League after being sacked by Sunderland in March.
Last night he was also being linked with Stoke City after Tony Pulis left the club by mutual consent after seven years in charge. But it is understood the Toffees are keen on O'Neill.

Rock's original horror man remembers playing golf here with John Denver – and other shocking bits.
Alice Cooper
It wasn't quite as vexing as his "Wayne's World" history lesson on Milwaukee — originally pronounced "Mill-e-wah-QUE" in Algonquin, we learned — but Alice Cooper's standout memory from four decades of performing in the Twin Cities wasn't very rock 'n' roll.
"You guys have one of the best courses in the country there, with Interlachen," the Detroit-bred pioneer of shock rock cheerily reported.
That's right: golf — not groupies or guillotine mishaps or any other backstage debauchery — is what sticks out most in the mind of the makeup-smeared, chicken-sacrificing rock legend. The gruesome singer born Vincent Furnier, 65, is well-known to be a scratch golfer, as well as a faithful Christian, recovery counselor and all-around nice guy. He earned back some of his solid musical reputation, too, with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's induction of his original namesake band in 2011.
Returning to Minneapolis for a two-night stand at the State Theatre on Sunday and Monday, Cooper talked by phone two weeks ago before one of his final gigs on a summer tour with Marilyn Manson.
Q: You're well known to be a normal guy offstage. What about Marilyn Manson?
A: [Laughs] Well, he's good at letting you see what you want to see. When I was young, I didn't want anyone to see the real me, either, and that's part of why I became such an alcoholic — I was partly trying to disguise myself.
Q: So is Mr. Manson secretly an ace golfer then, too?
A: He seriously keeps telling me that he's thinking about getting into it. He told me he and Johnny Depp were talking about taking it up together, getting up at 7 a.m. and hitting the course. And I said to him, "Listen, I have a pretty great imagination, and never in my wildest dreams could I see that ever happening."
Q: How much golf do you actually get to play on tour?
A: We get out and play nearly every day. A lot of my band plays, too, and I'm usually out there teaching them things. We play golf more than we rehearse. Playing rock 'n' roll is the easy part.
Q: How do the Twin Cities on the whole rate by your golf standards?
A: Interlachen is Bobby Jones' place, so it has its own reputation, and rightfully so. I've played Hazeltine there, too. In fact, I played Hazeltine with John Denver once, probably in the early '80s. There was a thing in the press about us beforehand, "He said this, blah, blah, blah." But when we got out there, we got along great. That's the thing about golf. It can be a common denominator among people who otherwise wouldn't have a lot in common.
I was at a Friars Club thing once, and somebody said, "Hey, Bob wants to talk to you." And I was like, "Bob?!" I went into this other room, and there's Bob Hope with President Jimmy Carter and Frank Sinatra. And Bob starts asking me about his golf game. He kept pulling his ball to the right. I told him he needed to loosen up his right hand, and it became this thing where this amazingly different group of guys had this one great thing in common.

Whether introducing why the air smells so fresh after a lightning storm, or what the big bang would have sounded like, Lewin never ceases to surprise and delight with the extraordinary ability of physics to answer even the most elusive questions. "For me," Lewin writes, "physics is a way of seeing--the spectacular and the mundane, the immense and the minute--as a beautiful, thrillingly interwoven whole." His wonderfully inventive and vivid ways of introducing us to the revelations of physics impart to us a new appreciation of the remarkable beauty and intricate harmonies of the forces that govern our lives.

Two scorned mistresses team up to extort millions from a chronic philanderer. Read more
Two scorned mistresses team up to extort millions from a chronic philanderer.
About this project
Admittedly, I'm new to the world of Kickstarter. Sure, once in a while, a friend or cohort will post a link on Facebook, asking for donations to fund their labor of love. Most of the time, I give what I can. Be it a sketchbook, a bra with a pocket built into it, or a statue of Robocop, I respect ambition and love seeing creative ideas to come together. But I've never fully explored the Kickstarter site until recently, when someone suggested to me that crowd source funding may be a good way to raise additional capital for a feature film I'm producing. Looking at everything Kickstarter has to offer, one thought comes to mind: there's a ton of stuff out there. Lots of projects, lots of dreams, lots of strangers trying to make it happen. So…why this project? Why donate to this film? What makes us stand apart from any other endeavor?
The truth is, I'm not sure I can fully answer these questions. But I can give you a simple "5W" breakdown of the project and hopefully spark your interest in the film. I'm really not sure any one project is more noble or worthy than another, but maybe, in the vast marketplace of crowd sourcing, this one is at least interesting enough to garner some attention…and, really, that's all we can ask
The project is a narrative feature film entitled THE BADGER GAME, a sexy/bloody/violent/comedic thriller that revolves around a botched kidnapping.
Our hero, Liam is a successful advertising executive with money to burn and a healthy appetite for infidelity. Alex is his scorned mistress, hell-bent on revenge against the married man who wronged her. Matched against each other, the two quickly fall into a downward spiral of sex, extortion, and murder.
At first, the plan seemed simple: kidnap Liam and threaten to expose his indiscretion, lest he pays a healthy sum of money. But Alex knows she can't do it alone. Enter Kip (her unhinged brother), Jane (an exotic dancer), and Shelly (a desperate wallflower). With the table set and the team in place, Liam soon finds himself held against his will - his perfect world about to crumble. But Liam won't go down without a fight. Forced to recon with four mysterious captors and impossible odds, his only hope is to turn the quartet against each other and make it through the night alive.
Lust, suspense, violence, and cynicism go head-to-head in THE BADGER GAME, crime-comedy in the vein of RESERVOIR DOGS and FARGO.
Intrigued? I hope so. It's a simple plot, and we're not looking to re-invent the wheel with this one; the aim, is to create a fun, enjoyable film with appeal to a wide audience.
We're shooting the movie primarily in beautiful downtown Burbank* with a handful of scenes peppered around the greater LA area.
Production begins March 7th and wraps April 8th, 2013. Between now and then, please check this page for updates – we will be announcing our talented cast and crew very soon
The film is being co-produced and co-directed by Thomas Zambeck and Josh Wagner. The true definition of those terms:
Co-produced: This is a low budget shoot, which means the two of us are doing everything. If this Kickstarter plan doesn't work, Josh may even do the cooking…which may make him the first director to ever bark orders in a chef's hat and apron.
Co-directed: We both have different skill sets. I dwell on the technical side, while Josh is a bit more in tune with characters and performance. Even though there is some crossover, we'll each be supervising two distinct sides of the equation. And we've known each other for twelve years, so no egos are in play.
I (Tom) wrote and directed my first feature film in 2006, a thrilled entitled NEVERMORE with Judd Nelson, Vincent Spano, and Jennifer O'Dell. I have since worked on a handful of projects in a varied capacity, most recently supervising the post workflows of home media through Sony New Media Solutions.
Josh produced his first feature in 2005, a dark comedy called THE SWEEPERS. Recently, Josh co-wrote the screenplay for the horror film MIMESIS, which was just released through Anchor Bay Entertainment.
Details on our cast will be coming soon...
Risks and challenges
Cause we love making movies.
And we're well into pre-production. Come hell or high water, this flick is filming in March. But as the process goes on, we're getting more into the nitty gritty of how to tell the story and what we need to really make this movie sing.
As with any low-budget production, certain sacrifices need to be made. BUT some of those sacrifices (like eliminating that one complicated dolly shot, or shooting in Steve's backyard as opposed to the state park we REALLY want) could be easily mitigated if we had a bit more breathing room in our budget. In specific, these are the additional cost expenditures we're trying to raise funding for:
1) We found an ideal location for rent in Simi Valley. Unfortunately, it's marginally outside of our price range. While it's sometimes necessary to adjust, it becomes more difficult to do so when you finally find the perfect locale that matches the image in your head.
2) We have a scene where a guy gets hit in the face with a weed whacker. Want to see it? So do we! But good special FX are expensive.
3) Food. This seems like a simple item, but it's important. Catering can make or break a film shoot. A well-fed, healthy crew is a productive crew. And we want all the people who are working for us to be well taken care of.

Riding the historic Nilgiri Mountain Railway
Built by the British in 1908 and operated by the then Madras Railway, the Nilgiri Mountain Railway was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. The railway operates from Mettupalayam in Tamil Nadu's Coimbatore district to Ooty, the headquarters of the Nilgiris district, and covers a distance of 46 kilometres, making 10 station stops in all. The railway has the steepest track in Asia with a maximum gradient of 8.33%. The railway operates on the rack-and-pinion system, designed by Swiss locomotive engineer Roman Abt. From Mettupalayam, the train is hauled by Swiss-made 'X' Class steam rack locomotives. At Coonoor, a diesel locomotive takes over and pulls the train into Ooty. PAWAN KOPPA, a railfanner and a member of the Indian Railways Fan Club, recounts a memorable journey on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway.

Finding Stubborn Bugs with Meaningful Debug Info
All the techniques I've described in this article are useful, but they shouldn't be deployed in a vacuum. It's also important to adopt practices that help reduce the likelihood of bugs occurring. Here are some to consider:
Adopt unit testing. Java, Python, OCaml, Perl and C all have unit testing frameworks available. Use them and exercise as many code paths as possible. This is especially important for a language such as Python where certain executions of a program may not even parse all of your code. It also can be important for Java; for instance, runtime exceptions can occur due to improper casting to or from Object.
Avoid globals. Avoiding global (or class-global) variables helps isolate problems and helps prevent synchronization issues in multithreaded programs. Global variables can be the source of unexpected side effects in function calls, which can be hard to track down.
Use the right tool for the job. Languages each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and no single language is the best tool for every task. For instance, although Perl makes it easy to parse delimited text files with regular expressions, OCaml provides tools specifically designed for writing a compiler. Problems that are expressed easily in one language may become much more difficult to express in another.
But, don't use too many different tools. Most projects benefit from a standardized toolset. Pick a language and libraries that are most useful for the project at hand, and don't introduce new ones unless there's a compelling reason to do so.
Use string and memory management tools. Many languages, including Java, Python, OCaml, Perl and Ruby, provide transparent memory management. You do not need to allocate and deallocate memory. You also do not need to concern yourself explicitly with end-of-string markers and string size limitations. Both of these are common problems with C programs that lead to runtime bugs or security holes. If you must use C, consider a garbage collection or memory pool library.
Make it work first, then optimize. In many cases, it's better to develop working code first, then optimize it later. Many people optimize first, which does work in some cases. However, simple, bug-free code is usually more important than code that is as fast as it can possibly be.
Write clean code. Split out code into functions. Write comments. Document what each function does and its effect on the environment.
OfflineIMAP is a program that talks to IMAP servers and synchronizes an IMAP folder tree with a local tree. Many IMAP servers exist, and they don't all work exactly the same. Through its two-year history, OfflineIMAP has gained more and more of the debugging techniques discussed in this article. Problems that users encounter often are unreproducible with my particular setup, so detailed logging is a must. Some IMAP servers are buggy themselves, so the first question that has to be resolved with many reports is: is this even a bug in OfflineIMAP? In a surprising number of cases, the answer is no. OfflineIMAP uses certain IMAP features that most other IMAP clients do not, and those features tend to be poorly tested in some servers.
I'd like to walk you through one particularly stubborn OfflineIMAP bug I've been working on. About a year ago, someone reported a bug in OfflineIMAP using the Debian bug-tracking system. Unfortunately, I couldn't duplicate the problem, and the original submitter didn't have logging turned on when the problem happened. He also wasn't able to obtain debugging information. Given the information he did have, which included an error message, I was able to gather some information following the steps outlined earlier in this article. I didn't have information on the input and output, but the program flow and stack both looked normal. In the end, I was able to determine where the program crashed but not why, so the bug sat there for a while. Things were made more difficult because the bug was intermittent—sometimes the program would work fine, and occasionally it would crash.
Later, a second person experienced the same problem. He noticed the existing bug report on Debian and sent in his information. OfflineIMAP automatically tries to print out parts of a debug log if a fatal error occurs, and he was able to capture this output. This OfflineIMAP feature has proven valuable in the past, because it is not always possible to reproduce the situation leading to a problem.
In this case, the information helped. I was now able to see what OfflineIMAP was doing immediately prior to the bug occurring. But, it still was not enough information to discover the exact problem—everything still looked normal. However, the bug was intermittent, and he couldn't capture any additional information.
Eventually, a third person experienced the same problem. Again, he had some information but not quite enough to figure it out. Something else needed to happen, so I made the logging in the particular section of code more detailed. Hopefully, with the additional logging, the next time the problem is encountered, I'll have enough information to track it down.
Several things played an important role in this process. First, OfflineIMAP always generates a usable stack trace when a fatal error occurs. Even the least-detailed report showed exactly where the program was when it crashed. Secondly, error logs are helpful, but less so if people can't reproduce a particular bug easily. Printing out debugging information when a program crashes or malfunctions can be a useful way to help combat that problem.
Also, the bug-tracking system played an important role in tracking down the problem. Because Debian bug reports are public, the three submitters involved were able to identify an outstanding bug report and add their information to it. This helped everyone to manage the information related to the particular issue and also provided a place to start for the people who encountered the problem for the first time.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

It's no secret that I've been a registered Libertarian, and a member of the Libertarian Party, for a number of years. Our political philosophy is pretty straightforward: reduce the size and scope of the government to allow people the greatest opportunity to pursue health, wealth, property, and happiness. We want the government out of our bedrooms, out of our boardrooms, and out of our pockets.
While about 16% of the American population identify themselves with libertarian beliefs,…

Sometimes you should try to listen to other songs on an album if the first single on the radio doesn't float your boat. Andy learned his lesson because he didn't care for "Burnin' It Down" from Jason Aldean's latest album, "Old Boots. New Dirt.", but by the end of this review he's giving it 93% on the Entertainment Ave! Listenability Scale.
Music Reviews

Andy is a fan of Lady Antebellum, and their latest album, 747, keeps him in their grasp even though they venture a tad and kick things up a notch. It's a 91% on the Entertainment Ave! Listenability scale for this review!
The Job
by Andy Labis • • 0 Comments
Michael Stanley, and his band, is near and dear to the heart of Andy, so whenever he has new music out, there is sure to be one customer. Andy was not disappointed in Mr. Stanley's latest offering, "The Job," and gives it 100% on the Entertainment Ave! listenability scale.

There's a new CD by Michael Stanley called "The Job" out, but sadly it doesn't look like Andy will be listening to it anytime soon because he doesn't want to wait for a disc to arrive in the mail. He wants to listen now, but it's not on iTunes yet.
Will We Hear Another Song from The Chainsmokers?
by Andy Labis • • 0 Comments
There's a new, viral song called "#selfie" that is exploding on the charts. Okay, maybe not exploding, but it's kind of a funny song, and also a kind of sad commentary on girls who go to clubs. Andy kind of likes it, at least probably for about a month, but wonders if we will ever hear from the due that put it out, The Chainsmokers, ever again.
Do You Have Any Desire to See an Opera?
by Andy Labis • • 2 Comments
It was a commercial on TV for a show at the Chicago Opera House that reminded Andy of his desire to one day see an opera. That, in turn, reminded him that someday he would like to see the Chicago Symphony perform the works of Carl Orff. He knows most people have heard "O Fortuna," but have no idea what it is, and also wonders if you want to see an opera.
Has a Music Video Ever Ruined a Song for You?
by Andy Labis • • 0 Comments
The Dude on the Right admits his admiration for girl pop music, and yes, even admits to liking some Miley Cyrus. Originally a fan of her song "Wrecking Ball" (not to be ever confused with the Bruce Springsteen song by the same name), he fears the song has now been ruined by his watching of the music video on Vevo, complete with Miley sticking out her tongue a lot and prancing around naked. He's also concerned she may also ruin Saturday Night Live for him when she hosts and sings on it this weekend. His advice is really for Miley to stop sticking out her tongue, but in the process plights if a video has ruined a song for you.

The economic long run
When our remarkable ride ends, will it be with a bang or a whimper?
The amazing US economic expansion reached its 106th month in February, making it the longest-running, uninterrupted period of growth in US history. There's much debate over who deserves credit, but little sober discussion of how the expansion might end.
There is no shortage of candidates for credit, and President Clinton is first on the list. Upon election in 1993, he realized that lower interest rates borne of deficit reduction would prove a longer-lasting stimulant than the deficit-expanding spending programs he originally championed.
This act of fiscal apostasy was anointed with low interest rates by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who gets a share of credit for the expansion by allowing the economy to grow at rates that would have given his predecessors vertigo. And he has helped provide stability in times of crisis - in Mexico in 1995, Asia in 1997, Russia and Long Term Capital Management in 1998.
But credit for the economy's success is due, too, to Robert Noyce and Jack Kilby, who separately, in 1959, perfected the integrated circuit, from which flowed the microprocessor, the computer, and the Internet - all of which have transformed the economy as much as any policy.
To some, giving Clinton-Greenspan credit for the expansion triggered by the Information Revolution is like giving Moses all the credit for water flowing from the rock at Hebron: Providence also had something to do with it. There's merit to this view, but absent the stage Clinton and Greenspan set, it's unlikely today's revolution would have proven so robust.
But the debate over the expansion's origin obscures the more important question: How will it end?
The economy has grown at a muscular 4 percent for four years. But as knowing Wall Streeters say, "Trees don't grow to the sky" - nothing goes on forever. When economies falter, it's usually because some delicate balance has gone out of whack.

According to Columbus Business First, the Ohio Department of Medicaid is reviewing the application of state sales and use taxes to premiums received by Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs) in light of a federal regulatory memo calling the practice into question. The state uses the tax revenue to obtain additional federal Medicaid matching funds, and increases the per-member monthly (capitation) payments to the plans in order to hold the MCOs harmless.
The July 25, 2014 memo from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services states that amendments made in the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (DRA) terminated states' ability to tax only Medicaid MCOs. The memo explains that "taxing a subset of health care services or providers at the same rate as a statewide sales tax, for example, does not result in equal treatment if the tax is applied specifically to a subset of health care services or providers (such as Medicaid MCOs), since the providers or users of those health care services are being treated differently than others who are not within the specified universe."
It remains unclear how other states imposing similar health care-related taxes on Medicaid MCOs will respond. In May, 2014, the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services concluded that Pennsylvania's gross receipts tax on Medicaid MCOs was impermissible for purposes of Medicaid funding. However, Michigan reinstated its use tax on Medicaid MCOs effective retroactive to April 1, 2014.

Wearside switch could suit James
24 Jul 2010 - 14:37:16
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has not ruled out the possibility of England international goalkeeper David James arriving at the Stadium of Light this summer.
First-choice shot-stopper Craig Gordon will spend the first three months of the season on the sidelines after breaking his arm in training while Marlon Fulop looks set to be heading out of the club.
James, who is also been linked with Celtic, could be handed a short-term deal on Wearside after Portsmouth withdrew their offer of a new contract to the 39-year-old.
"He's still England's number one goalkeeper. He'd be a good short-term signing for us," Bruce told the Daily Mirror.
"But what we have to decide now is to whether make a signing or whether the two young keepers that we have are ready for the Premier League.
"The Premier League is a very tough place and we'll have to take some time to think about whether they're ready for that."

Wedding: 6/29/2012
Abracadabra was great! We rented a 20 person suv limo and it was perfect. It made driving from the ceremony, to take pictures around Madison, and to the reception unforgettable. The driver was so understanding and accommodating. It was very affordable.
Wedding: 8/13/2011
They were right on time and took us wherever we wanted to go and was very friendly and courteous.
Wedding: 6/28/2014
We used the 24-26 passenger coach limo bus for our wedding. We comfortably fit 24 passengers (in wedding gear)
Our driver was amazing and did a GREAT job!! He was very polite and helpful. We were able to bring our own drinks (coolers) on the bus and an ipod to play music. Everyone had a lot of fun.
The limo bus was comfortable and in good working order (AC was was appreciated with 80+ degree weather). I would recommend them to anyone!
Wedding: 8/31/2014
First, I want to say that working with Jamie via email was great! He was very responsive to all my questions prior to the wedding and they even upgraded us to their new limo (which they told my wedding planner, not me). We rented the International Limo Coach because it has a bathroom on board and my maid of honor is pregnant and constantly needs the bathroom! The new limo that we got did not have a bathroom which was a huge bummer-but not too big of a deal. The limo itself was beautiful, but it was FULL of fruit flies. They were absolutely everywhere in the back of the bus and it smelled as if something had died back there. Our driver was also incredibly rude! We were running a bit behind taking photos in the venue after the ceremony and he came in and made it a point to let my husband know that we were running into his time. He told my husband that if he was the groom it meant he was in charge and that we had to get going so he wouldn't have to sit in the limo and wait for us. Once on the bus he was unhappy with every place we wanted to take pictures because he didn't like parking there (Memorial Union and by Abe on Bascom Hill). When we stopped to get pictures at Bascom he told me that I had to sign a form stating that he was there at the scheduled time, etc. When I asked for a pen to sign it, he told me that I couldn't sign until I gave him gratuity. I could not believe said that and because of that we only gave him 1/5th of the tip that we were originally planning. In the end we were pretty unhappy with our driver and the condition of the limo, but the service we received prior to the wedding was great!
Wedding: 6/20/2014
The Abracadabra Limo was a large enough vehicle for 22 people. It was extremely fun, but I wish we had spent more time in the vehicle. All of our venues were close, so not a lot of time.
Wedding: 7/11/2014
The owner of the company was great to work with! He made sure that everything was ready for me the day of the wedding. The driver that we had was amazing and fun. This was an awesome company to do business with.
Wedding: 5/9/2014
Working with Jamie makes planning so easy! All I had to do was tell him what I was hoping for, we talked about budget, and he worked with me every step of the way. Very flexible on pick-up times and our driver was great!
Wedding: 10/19/2013
The driver was excellent, and the Topkick limo was awesome. We definitely enjoyed our time riding around in style!
Wedding: 5/17/2013
We just needed shuttle for guests from reception to hotel. Very accommodating and friendly.
Wedding: 9/29/2012
We were overall very pleased with Abracadabra, they were very easy to work with, and the Limo was clean and very cool on the inside. They were on time, true to the contract, and the price was AMAZING. (We paid $600 for three hours, everything included except gratuity). However, we were told we could plug in an ipod to play music, but the player on the Limo did not work. The driver was absolutely no help at all, so my friend ended up getting a cord out of his car and fixing it (thank God) or we would have had to listen to the radio! I was disappointed in that, but otherwise they did a nice job.
Wedding: 7/7/2012
We searched around for an affordable limo service. We ended up choosing Abracadabra based on their price and reviews. We got a hummer stretch limo for all 15 people in our wedding party, including us. The limo was supposed to sit 14-16 people, but it was an extremely tight fit. The driver was nice, but not great. She waited until right before she arrived to fill-up on gas, so the limo was hot because the air conditioner was shut off for awhile. It was over 90 degrees outside, and the limo was maybe 80 degrees with all of us it it. If we would have had a larger limo with more room and the air was colder, it would have been better.
Wedding: 7/14/2012
I was pleased with our experience. They got us where we needed to be and had a good sound system. They didn't include beverages which could have been a nice thing, and the bus showed up with broken air conditioning that they had to fix.
Wedding: 6/30/2012
Before we hired Abracadabra they were very good about getting back to us after we contacted them (e-mail is the best way!). The week of the wedding I missed their call so I called back and left a voicemail. I did not receive any call back after to confirm any details. It was 94 degrees out and the air conditioning didn't work and the plug for the iPod was broken. They were on time to pick us up but did get slightly lost on the way to the reception. The bonus is they were very cheap/reasonably priced but I feel they could have let us know the air did not work.
Wedding: 5/18/2012
Super accommodating and offered a discounted rate to bring another back to us later in the evening for post-party transport.
Wedding: 1/28/2012
Had a little hiccup w/ directions getting to us, but once the limo was there, it was great. Driver was outstanding, kind, and all about letting us have a great time. I'd recommend Abracadabra to anyone!
Wedding: 11/11/2011
We got a great deal on the Cadillac Escalade limo for our wedding! It was pretty cool. We had our whole wedding party and ushers enjoy it with us. The only thing I wish would have been different was for the driver to let us know how to change the music and temperature in there. It got pretty stuffy with 16 people in it and we spent a good chuck of the ride trying to figure out how to change the music to something we wanted to hear. Other than that they were actually a little early at the church to pick up and took us where we wanted to go and then to the reception hall. The driver was very nice and helped all of the girls in their big dresses out when we arrived.
Wedding: 9/10/2011
The limo wasn't exactly what i expected. It looked nice from the outside, but inside it was a little run down, and the jacks for our ipod didn't work either.
Wedding: 8/5/2011
our driver was very nice, let us have a good time( we had a limo bus) the price was reasonable only because we had a coupon ( our half off was the same price as another company w/o a coupon!)
Wedding: 7/16/2011
Our driver Ben was awesome! He was such a gentleman when it came to helping us ladies out of the limo and was very accommodating to our needs. The limo was gorgeous and definitely worth the money!

Citie of firsts: From 'sweete seate' to Henrico Town
Just weeks after landing at Jamestown in the spring of 1607, a band of settlers set out on an expedition up what is now the James, with instructions from the Virginia Company of London to explore the source of the river. Led by one-armed veteran Capt. Christopher Newport, the expedition landed on the third day at the village of the Arrohattoc Indians, where the adventurers became the first Englishmen to set foot on what was to become Henrico soil. Although the settlers soon returned to Jamestown – after planting a flag at the falls and claiming the river for King James I – that visit was only the first of their exploratory trips upstream. For the next four years, as Jamestown's residents struggled with famine, disease, severe weather and Indian attacks, additional groups made forays toward the falls – until in 1611, Sir Thomas Dale led the voyage that would establish the Citie of Henricus. Under orders from the Virginia Company to construct a more "healthful" and secure settlement upriver, Dale sought high ground (unlike the marshy land around Jamestown) that could be easily defended from attacks by both Indians and Spaniards. He chose a bluff 80 miles north of Jamestown, "a neck of very high land, three parts thereof environed with the main River . . . a sweete and healthie seate." Accompanied by 300 settlers from Jamestown, Dale established a new fortification that he named Henrico Town, for Prince Henry, eldest son of King James. Erecting a log fence (known as a pale) across one side of the peninsula to form an island, Dale hoped the "citie" would eventually replace Jamestown as the new principal seat of the county. Although the town flourished for only a decade – until a 1622 Indian massacre – Henrico Town (a.k.a. Henricus) nevertheless represents the site of nearly a dozen of the nation's firsts, including the first chartered university, first library, English-speaking America's first hospital, and the first private ownership of land. As Tuckahoe District supervisor and long-time Henricus Foundation board member Pat O'Bannon likes to point out, the private-ownership distinction endows Henrico County with a unique status: as the birthplace of capitalism in America. For its significance as the "Citie of Firsts" and as the site on which much of our American way of life began, the establishment of Henrico Town ranks No. 2 on the Henrico Citizen's list of the most significant moments in Henrico's 400-year history. Land ownership: 'A real innovation' As Henrico Town grew into a fortified settlement, one of the first buildings to be constructed was the hospital, which served primarily as a retreat or haven where colonists could recover from their long journey. After an Atlantic voyage lasting two to four months, a stay at the hospital provided settlers a haven in which to recover and become acclimatized or "seasoned" to Virginia's unaccustomed heat and humidity. Patients at Mt. Malady could also seek treatment for ailments such as intestinal worms, typhoid fever, dysentery, and the salt poisoning they contracted from drinking contaminated water. The men of the town also built frame houses, thatched huts, storehouses, watchtowers, a frame parsonage and a wooden church – the first seat of Henrico Parish. It was at this church, most likely, that Chief Powhatan's daughter Pocahontas became the first Native American to convert to Christianity, under the guidance of Rev. Alexander Whitaker, the parish's first rector. Captured and brought to Henricus during the Anglo-Powhatan War, Pocahontas later married colonist John Rolfe, who developed the new strain of tobacco that would be instrumental in the colony's success. In 1614, shortly after the introduction of tobacco as a crop, Sir Thomas Dale and other leaders of the town instituted the experiment that is arguably Henricus' most significant first. Recognizing that the productivity of indentured settlers had lagged under the communal system of land ownership in Jamestown, Dale gave each man a three-acre plot and allowed him to do with it as he wished. All that was required in return was that each landowner provide two barrels of food a year to the common food store. "This was a real innovation," said Dr. Dennis A.J. Morey, a founder of Henricus Historical Park, at a 2004 brown bag lecture about Henricus. "Prior to that no commoner owned land – only the aristocracy. This was really something for citizens to own land . . .the beginning of privatization of land and free enterprise." In Jamestown, on the other hand, whatever crops came in under the communal system were put in the common store – and everyone received an equal share regardless of contribution. So it doesn't surprise Pat O'Bannon that efficiency was much improved under the new, private system. "At Jamestown, you grew squash, someone else grew corn," she explains. "But what if you put nothing in? You still got something! That's what blew it; they just couldn't make it work." Land ownership became a prime incentive for newcomers – especially indentured settlers and later-born sons -- to travel from England, where the traditional hierarchy limited advancement. "If you were in England," O'Bannon says, "there was no way to go up. You were stuck with what you were born with." Yet a draw was needed, says O'Bannon, because word had filtered back to England about the dangers of life in the New World – assuming, that is, that a person actually survived the long voyage and managed to make it here. "It was a huge risk just to get on that ship," O'Bannon points out. "Then consider that you are leaving comfy England to go to this wild land where Indians might shoot arrows at you and you have to deal with the elements. How do you get them here?" That so many Englishmen overcame their fear of the unknown and made the trip to the new land, says O'Bannon, "is part of why we are the type of country we are." Only the most motivated made the trip. "Everyone knew they had to pitch in and work, to pull their weight and produce something – even the gentlemen," she says. "Everyone had the desire to be successful. . . and make a profit. But you had to earn it. "That spirit is what really made us great," O'Bannon sums up. "I think that's the [beginning of] the American way." The American dream Although making money for the Virginia Company stakeholders was the primary objective of the settlement, the company had other goals. In 1619, it set aside a 10,000-acre parcel of land and stipulated that it was to become the Colledge of Henricus, a place of higher learning for both the settlers and Native American youth. The college was chartered and plans were made for a trade school that would educate Native American youth and convert them to Christianity. This first university in the New World also was to feature the first library – donated by an unknown Englishman – and to bestow the first scholarship on a Native American teenager so that he could attend. But the college never materialized; like the rest of the Henricus settlement, it fell victim to a 1622 Indian uprising led by Chief Opechancanough, Powhatan's younger brother and successor. Although some survivors managed to flee to Jamestown, and nearby settlements such as Bermuda Hundred and the Falling Creek Ironworks remained, the abandoned settlement at Henricus was never repopulated again. For close to 400 years, the site slumbered away in obscurity on the James River opposite Varina. But in 1985, with the establishment of The Henricus Foundation, the "Citie of Firsts" began the mighty stretch that marked its emergence from that slumber. Though today the riverfront park lies almost entirely in Chesterfield County (carved from Henrico in the 18th century), Henrico and Chesterfield have joined together in the restoration effort, which began when physicians from Henrico Doctors' Hospital started a campaign to rebuild Mt. Malady. The recreated hospital was constructed with the help of a hefty contribution from Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), and the gardens and tobacco plots have been built with the help of volunteers and funds from Altria (formerly Philip Morris USA). Often lauded as a model of regional cooperation and public-private partnerships, the 40-acre park also features a re-creation of the palisade, watchtower, militia buildings and a parade field, a tobacco barn and husbandry buildings, trade buildings, the Rocke Hall parsonage, and Indian longhouses. Distinguished guests from the United Kingdom helped dedicate the education center in 2006, as well as attending this past September to help celebrate Henricus' 400th anniversary. For a "citie" that existed only a decade, Henrico Town left an indelible mark on our history. As Morey argued in his lecture, "It was these people [at Henricus] who really established our country." With all due respect to the founding fathers, said Morey, "If it hadn't been for Dale, Rolfe, Pocahontas and people like that, [the founders] would have never had any place to come. "It was right here," Morey concluded, "that the American dream began." |

Travinia brings contemporary elegance to Willow Lawn
It was another win for Willow Lawn when Travinia Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar opened there six months ago, nestled in the heart of the re-made shopping center. The contemporary American Italian restaurant boasts 13 locations up and down the East Coast, with the Henrico location opening in August.
In the same week, I hit up Travinia twice, once for lunch and once for a late dinner. At lunchtime on a weekday, I was overwhelmed by the smell of garlic and by the number of working professionals in nice suits on their lunch breaks. When we first walked in, I was concerned our meal would be a little too pricey based on the décor – it's a really nice place. Luckily, the menu has a variety of options for every budget. > Read more.
Soak up the fun
'SpongeBob' movie energizes with wit, laughter
There's a ton of sugar in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. Literal sugar, as SpongeBob Squarepants (Tom Kenny) and Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) inhale their own weight in cotton candy and eat ice cream, one scoop per mouthful.
At one point we burrow into the brain of our boxy yellow hero and discover the inner workings of his brain: googly-eyed cakes and candies that giggle and sing. All of which is extremely appropriate for a film like Sponge Out of Water. Because not only is the movie sweet (the "awwww" kind of sweet), but it's the equivalent of a 30-candy bar sugar rush, zipping between ideas like a sponge on rocket skates.
The story under all this is really not that complicated. SpongeBob flips burgers at the Krusty Krab. > Read more.
